Carl Friedrich Gauss first proved the fundamental theorem of algebra. There are many fundamental theorems: of arithmetic, calculus, and so on. These are so "fundamental" that many other theorems are derived from them. In the Bible, there are also fundamentals, without which Christianity would not exist—the deity of Christ, His substitutionary atonement, and the inspiration of the Bible, to name a few.Basically, this sentence says that "things, in various intellectual frameworks, are derived from other things". What else could you expect? Standing on the shoulders of giants, and all that. Something valuable for kids to know, surely, but why try so hard? I'd rather at least see a fundamentalist approach to mathematics that was based on saying "math is beautiful, and that shows us that God is great, because God invented mathematics." I wouldn't agree with this, but I could at least sympathize with it.
The passage on "fundamental" seems, to me, like a real stretch; mathematicians are well-known for using words in different ways than the general population. (So are fundamentalist Christians, I hear, although I don't know this for sure.) Mathematicians actually use "fundamental" in much the same way that Normal People do; Wikipedia has a list of fundamental theorems. I would suggest one more addition to this list: the "fundamental theorem of combinatorics", which is that if there are m ways to do one thing, and then there are n ways to do some other thing, then there are mn ways to first do one of the first things and then one of the second things. I will not edit Wikipedia to reflect this, though, as this usage seems non-standard; but insofar as combinatorics has a fundamental theorem, this is it.
(Oh, by the way, if someone refers to the "fundamental theorem" without saying what it's the fundamental theorem of, what would you think they meant? I'm not sure; I'd think they meant the F. T. of either algebra, arithmetic, or calculus.)
The most famous "math in the Bible" is, of course, the verse that can be interpreted as saying that π equals 3, due to some circular object which is thirty cubits around and ten cubits across. (Link goes to Good Math, Bad Math; the Bible verse in question is 1 Kings 7:23.) Surprisingly, everyone seems to assume that this means the writer actually thought π = 3, and comes up with complicated explanations for this. For example, some people assume that 30 cubits is the inner circumference and 10 cubits is the outer diameter. I think I even once saw someone who seriously suggested that in the time of the Bible, circles were actually hexagons; the length of a regular hexagon is exactly three times the distance between opposite corners. The obvious interpretation, though, is that either:
- The object in question wasn't perfectly round. This seems rather doubtful, though, as you just need a stake in the ground and a big long rope in order to make a circle. If they wanted to make circles, they could.
- Rounding error. What is called "30 cubits" here could be as large as 30.5 cubits; what is called "10 cubits" could actually be as small as 9.5. Thus the ratio of circumference to diameter could be as large as 30.5/9.5 = 3.21. Similarly, it could be as small as 29.5/10.5 = 2.81. So the Bible is only saying that 2.81 < π < 3.21, which is true.
And I'm trying to picture a world in which circles were hexagons. This seems to imply that the world is in fact a triangular lattice in the plane, which is preposterous.

"Hey guys!
What's up? I'm totally running late. My ice dancing recital ran WAY over because I couldn't find my left boot and all this other drama happened behind the scenes, like, you have no idea how crazy it is on the ice-dancing circuit, man, and I totally didn't have time to change out of my outfit so I'm here at the Grammys in a costume designed to convey the drama and glamour of Swan Lake if it happened at Xanadu, because that's what our routine is -- my partner Fabrizo made the most awesome mash-up called Xanadu Lake and I play a duck that's also a Muse and I die at the end, it's totally touching, and we would have won if I actually knew how to skate, which I don't, as it turns out -- and, anyway, I really hope no one realizes that I was actually supposed to be here in a totally different outfit. Also, I might have gotten my bangs caught between the blades of Fabrizo's skates one of the times I fell down. Do you think they have any alcohol inside?"

TRACK CHAMPIONSHIPS: Olympians Arrive
Olympians arrived in Des Moines for the USA track and field championships Wednesday.
Sanya Richards-Ross, Aries Merritt and Justin Gatlin took questions from the media Wednesday morning.
It's Justin Gatlin's first time in Des Moines. He won silver and bronze medals at the London Olympics last summer.
The sprinter says the metro is making a good first impression, "This is the first time I've been here. I love how the stadium seating rises up over the track," the 31-year old said. "I'm pleased with the weather and I've heard the fans are very good here so I'm ready to see the fans too."
You can expect to see an exciting race from Gatlin. He's in Des Moines after beating Usain Bolt in the 100-meters earlier this month.
Bolt is considered the fastest man alive.
The championships run from Thursday to Sunday.

Washington, DC – Rep. Ron DeSantis (FL-06) today issued the following statement praising President-elect Donald Trump's decision to nominate Marine Corps General John Kelly as Secretary of Homeland Security:
"John Kelly served our country with distinction for decades as a U.S. Marine and I am glad to see him selected as the next Secretary of the Department of Homeland Security. General Kelly possesses a keen understanding of national security and counterterrorism issues, and, as the former Commander of U.S. Southern Command, has virtually unrivaled experience in dealing with some of the key issues – such as border security and drug trafficking – that the next DHS Secretary will need to confront. The DHS bureaucracy has been ineffective for far too long. Naming someone of John Kelly's stature and integrity to lead the troubled agency is a giant first step towards securing our borders and improving the defense of our homeland. I commend President-Elect Donald Trump for the decision to nominate General Kelly and I look forward to working with them both to improve our security."

Dairy can inhibit fat loss for some people... I like the lactaid brand of cottage cheese so the lactose is removed. Even so, I will probably cut it out of my diet for the last two weeks of carb cycling.Delete

There's a wealth of events on at a range of city locations, both tried and tested "old" locations and new ones where an exciting Christmas programme awaits.
Advent in Zagreb lasts for 40 days, from 2 December right up to 7 January. There are many new things on this year. Villa Prekrižje has opened its doors so that, exclusively during Advent in Zagreb, visitors can visit the villa in all the beauty of its traditional Christmas glory, and enjoy a Christmas programme of music. Villa Prekrižje was built as a new city summer residence in 1942 according to the designs of renowned architect Ivan Zemljak. Today the villa is used for official gatherings, and due to its location within the complex of the Office of the President of the Republic of Croatia it is also used for various purposes in the work of the Office.
Fuliranje, a popular Advent gathering, is moving from Tomićeva and Kurelčeva streets to Strossmayerov trg. With the motto "Life is a Circus" visitors will be entertained by clowns, fire-eaters, stilt walkers, Cica the fortune teller… Imaginative characters will entertain the children, while the Circus Gourmet Ring will make sure that no-one is left hungry.
Caffe de Matoš awaits this year in Gornji grad as part of the Strossmayer promenade. The theme is love. A special corner is dedicated to kisses under the mistletoe. Every evening from 6-9 pm and at weekends from 11 am - 2 pm it's time to dance along to live music from top-notch streetstyle musicians. And if you're in love, you can seal a padlock with a message of love on the fence of Gornji grad.
Advent on Strossmayer promenade has joined with Stories from Grič on Vranyczanyeva poljana. Here DJs will be playing music in a treehouse. To get to Vranyczanyeva poljana, which will be bedecked in wonderful Christmas decorations, you have to climb up to Gornji grad, but the mystical atmosphere makes it worth every step.
Historic shopping arcade Marićev prolaz has also been decorated in the spirit of Advent. Plaited white twigs decorated with twinkling lamps create a magical fairytale tunnel. One of the most beautiful courtyards in Zagreb, that of the Archaeological Museum in Gajeva ulica, will become a unique Secret Garden for Advent. The Secret Garden is special in connecting the most up-to-date digital technologies with culture and fun. Hologram technology will take us on a new adventure every evening in December. Visitors will be entertained by DJs, while children and amateur choirs will sing the loveliest Christmas songs. Children will also be delighted by Advent at Zagreb Zoo. Countless educational and fun things await visitors, such as getting to know tame animals, theatre and musical performances, artistic and creative workshops, acrobatics on silk, feeding the camels and sea lions… All of that along with those unmissable refreshments, sausages, tea and mulled wine.
In the Grič tunnel you will be able to see two fairytale installations. From 2 to 17 December the exhibition "Memories" will be open, showing a street from old Gornji grad from the era of Charles Dickens, and from 19 December until the last day of Advent the tunnel will be turned into a paradise for children and the young at heart. It will be decorated with giant Christmas tree decorations, presents and toys, and the exhibition will be symbolically titled "Wish".
The Croatian Railway Museum also calls all children as for the holiday season from 3 – 7 pm visitors will have free entry to the exhibition "Orient in Zagreb" dedicated to the trains of the Orient Express system. At the weekends there will be train rides in the garden, you will be able to see the trains on display and there will be educational workshops for children in the museum wagon.
The Backo Mini Express – the biggest model railway in south east Europe - also offers a holiday atmosphere. As well as hundreds of trains in the permanent model display, during advent the Backo Mini Express will also be running several trains in Christmas colours and decorations. The Agram Advent Express – a special train in the colours of the city of Zagreb – will also be running during Advent. Various exhibitions in the days of Advent will be organised by numerous cultural institutions, from the Museum of Arts and Crafts via the Art Pavilion to the Ethnographic Museum where there will be an exhibition of antique Christmas jewellery. Also unmissable is the exhibition "Nikola Tesla – Mind from the Future" in the Meštrović Pavilion, dedicated to one of the world's greatest visionaries and greatest minds, an exhibition which after Zagreb heads for New York.
On the Gradec plateu in front of the entrance to the Klovićevi dvori Museum you will be able to enjoy a rich gastronomic offering and free concerts by Detour, Ljetno kino, Marko Tolja, Kuzma & Shaka Zulu, Songkillers, Marjan Ban, Cubismo, Vatra and the Dino Dvornik Tribute Band. The programme of concerts ends on 30 December. A surprise awaits visitors – a frame in which you can take a photo of yourself for the best-looking postcards!
The Ice Park on Trg kralja Tomislava is the biggest ice rink in this part of Europe, and once again will be the favourite gathering place of young and old alike.
This year the Ice Park has entered into a partnership programme with the Art Pavilion. If you show your ticket for the ice rink, the Art Pavilion will grant you a 10 kuna discount on your entry ticket for the current exhibition, while the Ice Park, if you show your ticket for the exhibition, will grant you a 5 kuna discount on your ticket for the ice rink.
On Zrinjevac there will be a host of Advent huts with a rich offering of food and drink, handcrafts and souvenirs. A varied daily programme will also take place on Trg bana Jelačića. There is the Christmas Fairytale, in which visitors can experience true Christmas magic passing through a forest of pine trees covered in snow. Young people will once again enjoy Advent on Europski trg, with DJs, concerts, exhibitions and gastro huts. On Kaptol there will be a Live nativity scene and Christmas idylls await you in Gajeva, Bogovićeva, Petrićeva, Varšavska and more.
Because… the icing on the cake is most delicious during Advent in Zagreb! www.adventzagreb.com

United Nations Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon called on 80 governments and 45 world leaders to attend the first World Humanitarian Summit (WHS) in Istanbul, Turkey on May 23-24. The goal of the conference is to inspire new commitments to preventing and responding to crises, while sending the world a clear message that "we will not accept the erosion of humanity which we see in the world today."
However, one of the biggest and most prominent humanitarian aid organizations, Doctors Without Borders (MSF), has announced its decision to pull out of the summit. The charity, calling it a mere "fig-leaf of good intentions," opined the conference would not be able to address the growing needs caused by war and violence because of its non-binding nature.
"We no longer have any hope that the WHS will address the weaknesses in humanitarian action and emergency response, particularly in conflict areas or epidemic situations," MSF announced in a statement Wednesday. "As shocking violations of international humanitarian law and refugee rights continue on a daily basis, WHS participants will be pressed to a consensus on non-specific, good intentions to 'uphold norms' and 'end needs.' The summit has become a fig-leaf of good intentions, allowing these systematic violations, by states above all, to be ignored."
The decision to withdraw from WHS comes shortly after air strikes reportedly led by the Syrian government reduced a Doctors Without Borders-supported hospital in Aleppo, Syria, to rubble. Three doctors lost their lives in the attack. In October 2015, a U.S. led airstrike killed 42 patients, caregivers and medical staff, and injured dozens more at a Doctors Without Hospital in Kunduz, Afghanistan. In fact, the organization claims 75 hospitals managed or supported by MSF were bombed last year.

"Putting states on the same level as non-governmental organizations and U.N. agencies, which have no such powers or obligations, the Summit will minimize the responsibility of states," the charity noted. "In addition, the non-binding nature of the commitments means that very few actors will sign up to any commitments they haven't previously committed to."
About 6,000 people, including private sector leaders, heads of humanitarian organizations and representatives of civil society, are expected to take part in the summit. But, MSF's stance has revealed how little international aid organizations actually believe in the United Nations and its effectiveness.
"Disappointing," the representative for the United Nations, Stéphane Dujarric, said Thursday in response to the decision by Doctors Without Borders.

Now that we've established there are going to be players leaving YEG, let's have a look at specific players and why they'll be out the door—and more importantly—why a team would trade for them.
- Why Are they trading him? If the Oilers decide to do a re-set on Yakupov, it will be a mistake. However, in his postseason presser, Craig MacTavish did not mention Yakupov as the big part of the future (Hall, Nuge, Eberle, Schultz were mentioned) in Edmonton. That same article tells us MacT said they were committed to developing Yak City, but I think there's a reasonable doubt in the organization's mind.
- Why does he have value? Yakupov has the potential to score 40 goals a year. Exceptional potential value.
- Will he go and what will the Oilers get? I think it's going to be close. If Edmonton can find a young player who better fits their plan, they may pull the trigger. I believe that may include men like Michael Dal Colle and Nick Ritchie, who will go No. 5 or later at the draft.
- Why Are they trading him? Sam Gagner hasn't improved his play at center, and it's been a long time. He won a big contract from the Oilers and was going to have a hard time delivering full value for it even before the injury. It feels like time, although he could re-invent himself as a winger.
- Why does he have value? Gagner's a solid offensive player. Two years ago, he posted a 1.94/60 at 5×5 and in 12-13 he was a monster on the power play. A team with responsible two-way wingers could protect Gagner without the puck and employ him as an offensive force with strong zone starts and 5×4 time.
- Will he go and what will the Oilers get? Yes. In return, I expect the club will either acquire a similar talent with a wider range of skill (Josh Bailey, etc) or they might trade him for picks and use the $4.8M in free agency. I think he's gone.
- Why Are they trading him? I think Perron is the 'outer marker' player Edmonton would trade for a legit top center. If they can get that player, and part of the ask is Perron, I suspect MacT would pull the trigger.
- Why does he have value? David Perron is a skill player with grit and responsibility. I have no idea why St. Louis traded him, but it was an error.
- Will he go and what will the Oilers get? No. If Martin Hanzal is available, and Perron is the ask, then the Oilers would have to consider it.
- Why Are they trading him? The Oilers make this contract a big decision in their team-building template. They proceeded with Sam Gagner last season, buying some free agent seasons. Steve Tambellini moved the problem to here, and now Craig MacTavish has to address it. Free agent seasons for Petry are going to cost money, a guess would be well north of $4M dollars. How many years? How much investment? Does he fit the plan? We'll know soon.
- Why does he have value? Petry has terrific value, although I've never been completely convinced the Oilers think as much of him as they should.
- Will he go and what will the Oilers get? No. I think he stays. Edmonton doesn't have much experience back there, and Petry is a strong option. I think MacT may have arrived just in time, based on his postseason comments: "Jeff Petry — for some of the criticism that he took at times, had a career year in a lot of statistical categories. He's a developing player as well."
- Why Are they trading him? The Oilers have to give in order to get, and may feel Oscar Klefbom is ready to take on Marincin's role in their top 6D. Remember this club is committed to Andrew Ference, and may be bringing in a top pairing option. The LH side this fall may feature the new hire on 1LH, Klefbom on 2LH and Ference as 3LH. It's possible.
- Why does he have value? Marincin arrived NHL ready, and played extremely well this season. You could argue he was their best defenseman and get very little push back from anyone, and he's still developing as a player. Exceptional potential, and there was interest last summer (Vancouver).
- Will he go and what will the Oilers get? I believe there's a real chance he's dealt. Edmonton badly needs a veteran presence who can play way over 20 minutes a night, and there may some available (Phaneuf, Byfuglien, Coburn, Ehrhoff). Part of the ask will surely be a young defenseman with the potential to grow into that role.
- Why Are they trading him? The Oilers may not want to qualify him, and there has been interest in Hamilton in the past.
- Why does he have value? As we approach draft day, teams may want to deal off excess picks (some teams have a ton) and take a flyer on a more advanced prospect. Hamilton has shown flashes, and was a second-round pick not terribly long ago.
- Will he go and what will the Oilers get? Yes, and I think a late-round pick comes in return. Maybe it will be Dallas again.
- Why Are they trading him? Martin Gernat is EXACTLY where the Houston Astros were in the early 1970s with John Mayberry, Cliff Johnson, Bob Watson, Mike Easler and those other bats. A ton of similar talents all clustered together, enough to feed an entire division back in 1971.
- Why does he have value? Like Martin Marincin and Oscar Klefbom and Darnell Nurse, this young man has size, speed and range. His abilities are raw compared to the others, but we were saying that about Marincin not so long ago.
- Will he go and what will the Oilers get? Yes. A smart team is going to ask after him, and the Oilers have so many other options it won't feel like pain.
As I mentioned in last night's post, this is an extremely dangerous summer for Craig MacTavish. The career of a young player like Martin Marincin is like viewing a iceberg above the water—impressive, but a whole lot we can't see. There's every chance he'll be in this league in 2025—seriously. That's a lot of talent to send away for veteran help.
Now. Everything I just said about Marincin? Apply it to Gernat. The Oilers have a lot of nice things developing now, and many are at the pro level.
Keep Calm and choose wisely, Craig MacTavish.

Male Enhancement Medications as well as Products
Male enhancement pills are solutions that seek to enhance sexual stamina, libido or size of the penis in guys. Also known as love-making pills, they come in a variety of sorts, from prescription oral pills to supplements. There are hundreds of pills you can get online that will advertise each day: increase size of the penis and width, enhance delight during sex, allow you to get and keep erections, give you harder or more robust erections, make your penis usually bigger. As usual, you should take the many promises you keep reading the internet using a healthy measure of scepticism. Don't obtain unregulated, non-prescription websites advertising and marketing illegal editions of drugs you can obtain safely prescribed by doctors to you by your GP.
How do they perform?
There's no health care evidence to help suggest that you are able to increase your size of the penis once you get to your large as an older. Websites marketing drugs that are able to do this tend to be illegal, false, or ripoffs for money. Still it's possible to get pills that can effectively help aid your personal erection along with increase your sexual desire. Check this Prosolution blog: prosolution pills vs vigrx plus . There has been lots of medical analysis into the reasons and treatment of erectile dysfunction along with sexual deterioration in adult males. The topical treatments available to you if you are trying to make your sex life or perhaps stamina in bed are, generally speaking, effective and will be given by your GP.
Supplements to treat impotence can be prescribed by doctors to you about the NHS or maybe by non-public health routines, online or in person, safely and legally. All these generally perform by enjoyable the muscles of the penis and also temporarily boosting blood flow to ensure you get and keep a good erection so as to have penetrative sexual. These pills will only cure the real symptoms of your own personal erectile dysfunction, , nor treat the actual cause (which can be actual or psychological).
Usually are male enhancement pills risk-free?
Pharmaceutical drugs male enhancement pills secure and hold very few health conditions. Like any medication , there is the probability of some side effects. However , these types of side effects will vary from person to person. They're usually only gentle and short-term. It's important to possess your how to unlock your manhood prescribed to you personally by a qualified nurse or doctor for the reason that will be able to assess whether or not that particular drug will likely be safe for you. Buying unlicensed drugs online is hazardous. You don't know exactly what the components are, if they've been examined properly, and you also won't have a good idea of how your body can react to these individuals.

A novel model of adenine-induced tubulointerstitial nephropathy in mice
- 9.7k Downloads

In vivo models of uremia are important tools to study numerous aspects of acute and chronic kidney disease. Mouse models are pivotal because most genetically engineered animal models are mice, which allow dissecting the impact of selected target genes in renal failure. Adenine-based protocols to induce renal failure are available in rats, but have not been adapted in mice due to their reluctance to consume adenine. In the current paper we developed a novel method for induction of renal failure through dietary delivery of adenine mixed in a casein-based diet.
After an induction phase, a stable model of renal impairment was obtained (target urea range 80–100 mg/dL), mimicking several aspects of chronic kidney disease - mineral and bone disorder including secondary hyperparathyroidism, bone abnormalities and pathological elevation of FGF23. No deaths occurred and the level of uremia was adaptable through adjustments of the adenine content, providing significant advantages compared to existing models. In an 8-week proof-of-concept study, renal histology showed mainly a tubulointerstitial damage with infiltrating leukocytes, interstitial edema and widening of the Bownman's space. Fibrosis was present in most animals as defined by histology and gene expression changes of fibrosis markers. Parathyroid cell proliferation was markedly increased but without signs of glandular hypertrophy. Skeletal histology showed increased trabecular bone and bone marrow adiposity whereas bone biomarkers (CTX and PINP) suggested higher bone formation, but surprisingly, lower bone resorption and perturbations in mineral metabolism.
We present a novel, non-surgical method for induction of renal failure in mice. This is an important complement to existing uremic models for pathophysiological studies in acute and chronic kidney disease, especially in terms of tubulointerstitial lesions.

Chronic kidney disease (CKD) is a global health burden [1], yet effective treatments for its prevention, progression and associated complications are currently lacking. Animal models of renal failure are important tools to study pathophysiological events in kidney disease that allows translational studies aiming to improve management of CKD patients. Due to the high availability of genetically engineered mouse strains, uremic mouse models provide the opportunity to investigate the impact of specific target genes in the setting of renal failure.
Established techniques for induction of renal failure in mice are mostly dependent on surgical interventions. The most widespread methods currently used are unilateral ureteral obstruction [2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7], which leads to interstitial fibrosis by infiltration of macrophages and tubular cell death by apoptosis and necrosis, and 5/6 nephrectomy [8, 9]. The latter technique usually involves two separate procedures, first two thirds of one kidney is destructed by electrocoagulation and after recovery a contra-lateral nephrectomy is performed. The 5/6 nephrectomy model has several limitations including a substantial mortality rate when not performed adequately, non-reversibility and phenotypic alterations related to the surgical procedure rather than impaired kidney function [10]. The method is also associated with relatively large inter-individual and inter-laboratory variations and its availability may be compromised by lack of surgical expertise and the appropriate operating facilities.
To circumvent these obstacles, we aimed at establishing a novel, non-surgical model of renal failure in mice by employing an adenine-based protocol. Importantly, there are well-characterized protocols for adenine-induced renal failure in rats, yet this technique has not been adapted in mice due to their aversion to adenine feeding.
Animal experiments
The experiments were conducted in compliance with the guidelines of animal experiments of Karolinska Institutet and the study protocol was approved by the regional ethical committee (Stockholm South ethical committee, approval number S184-10 and appendix S19-13). 8-week-old C57BL/6J mice were housed in standard cages with wood chip bedding and a paper roll for enrichment at constant ambient temperature (21–22°C) and humidity (40-50%) with a 12-hour light cycle. All animals had free access to tap water and the assigned diet. Before study start, all mice were allowed acclimatization to the animal facility conditions and the casein-based chow during a 7-day period.
To provide an adenine-containing chow consumed by the mice, adenine was mixed with a casein-based diet that blunted the smell and taste. Adenine was purchased from Sigma Aldrich (MO, USA) and the powdered casein-based diet from Special Diets Services (SDS, UK) (reference number 824522). Other ingredients of the diet are maize starch (39.3%), casein (20.0%), maltodextrin (14.0%), sucrose (9.2%), maize/corn oil (5%), cellulose (5%), vitamin mix (1.0%), DL-methionine (0.3%) and choline bitartrate (0.2%). Total phosphate content was 0.9% and total calcium content was 0.6%.
Data presented herein is derived from an 8-week experiment using 8-week-old C57BL/6J wild-type mice. To exclude the possibility of an impact of the casein diet per see on renal function, the control group (n = 5) was fed the same casein diet as the adenine group (n = 9) but without addition of adenine.
Serum and urine biochemistries
Blood was collected after cardiac puncture at sacrifice and by tail vein incision at intermediate time points. Urine was collected as spot urine samples after spontaneous urination. Serum and urine calcium, phosphorous, creatinine and urea levels were measured on a Konelab 20XTi (Thermo Scientific, Finland). Creatinine concentrations were validated with a colorimetric assay (BioChain, CA, USA) yielding nearly identical results (rho = 0.95 and 0.98 for serum and urine creatinine respectively) when compared with the Konelab technique. PTH was measured by a mouse intact PTH ELISA kit (Immutopics, CA, USA), FGF23 with an intact FGF23 ELISA (Kainos, Japan) and 1,25(OH)2D, CTX and PINP with EIA kits (Immunodiagnostic Systems, UK).
Kidneys and parathyroid glands were fixed in 4% formaldehyde, embedded in paraffin and sectioned according to standard procedures. Bones were decalcified in a buffer containing 20% formic acid. All tissues were subject to Hematoxylin and Eosin staining. Kidney sections were also stained for Periodic acid-Schiff stain (PAS) for polysaccharides and mucosubstances (VWR International, Sweden), Trichrome (Ladewig) for muscle and collagen (Histolab Products AB, Sweden) and von Kossa for mineralized tissue (VWR International), according to the manufacturers instructions. The kidneys and bones were evaluated in a blinded fashion by an experienced kidney pathologist (AW) and bone pathologist (GA), respectively. Immunohistochemistry was performed according to standard protocols using a rabbit monoclonal anti-Ki67 antibody (SP6 1:400, Thermo Scientific, CA, US) and a rabbit anti-human Myeloperoxidase antibody (A398 1:100, Dako, Denmark). Proliferation index in parathyroid glands was calculated as the number of Ki67 positive cells divided by total number of cells in four consecutive sections.
Alizarin red and vascular calcification
The thoracic to abdominal part of the aorta (n ≥ 5 from each group) was dissected, split longitudinally and laid flat. The tissue was incubated with 1% alizarin red S-staining solution (Alfa Aesar, Germany) at room temperature for 10 minutes and washed three times with 70% ethanol for 20 minutes each.
Analysis of renal transcripts
Kidneys were homogenized using a TissueLyzer LT (Qiagen, Netherlands) and total RNA was extracted using E.Z.N.A. Total RNA Kit I (Omega Bio-tek, GA, US). DNA was removed with E.Z.N.A. RNase-Free DNase Set (Omega Bio-tek). First-strand cDNA was synthesized using iScript cDNA Synthesis Kit (Bio-Rad, Hercules, CA, US).
For real time qPCR analysis the CFX96 Real-Time PCR Detection System and iQ SYBR Green Supermix (Bio-Rad) were used. The relative gene expression was calculated using the 2-ΔΔ Cq method normalizing the gene of interest to β-actin in the same sample.
GraphPad Prism 5.0 (GraphPad Software Inc, CA, US) was used for statistical analysis. All values are expressed as mean ± SEM unless otherwise stated. Differences between adenine-treated mice and controls were calculated using the Mann–Whitney non-parametric test. P-values <0.05 were considered statistically significant.
Protocol development
We performed a series of pilot studies to establish the optimal degree of renal impairment at which common biochemical abnormalities associated with renal dysfunction occurred without increased morbidity or mortality. For this purpose, serum urea levels ranging from 80–100 mg/dL were considered optimal. Urea levels above 100 mg/dL were associated with increased morbidity (weight loss and reduced physical activity), whereas urea concentrations of <70-80 mg/dL led to a weight gain and a partial reversal of biomarkers associated with impaired kidney function such as phosphorous and PTH. Importantly, the casein-diet without addition of adenine was used as control diet and did not influence serum urea and creatinine levels or renal histology compared to mice on a regular diet (data not shown).
The required adenine dose to achieve the target urea interval was determined to 0.3% adenine during a 10-day "induction phase" and 0.15-0.20% during a "maintenance phase". When adhering to this urea range, no deaths occurred during the entire study or in supporting pilot studies. Accordingly, we propose that the adenine concentration can be modified ad libitum between 0.15-0.20% during the maintenance phase. Notably, we also evaluated adenine delivery by gavage, which resulted in an approximately 30% overall mortality and higher variability in urea level and is therefore not recommended.
Proof-of-concept study
Body weight and serum/urine biochemistries
Markers of bone and mineral metabolism are shown in Figure 2B. Similar to CKD patients, the adenine group developed a significant hyperphosphatemia, secondary hyperparathyroidism and severely elevated FGF23 paralleled by an increased urinary excretion of phosphorous [13]. There was no change in urinary excretion of calcium (p = 0.66 for baseline versus endpoint). At endpoint, CTX was significantly decreased whereas there was a borderline significant increase in PINP in adenine-treated mice compared to mice on a control diet, suggesting a reduced bone resorption but an increased bone formation (Figure 2B).

Areal determination from serial sectioned parathyroid glands revealed no overt glandular hypertrophy. Conversely, proliferation rate in the parathyroids determined by Ki67 index was increased (Figure 3B), and in line with the increased PTH level in adenine-treated mice. Sections of femurs showed an extended bone trabeculae and increased bone marrow adiposity consistent with the serum pattern of the bone markers PINP and CTX. Alizarin red stainings did not show any overt vascular calcification in the thoracic aortas of adenine-exposed mice (Additional file 3: Figure S3).
Gene expression changes of local inflammatory and fibrosis markers
Mouse models of uremia are important tools for in vivo translational studies such as examining the impact of specific genes in transgenic or knockout mice and to validate potential therapeutic interventions prior to pre-clinical testing in humans. The limitations of existing surgical models of uremia in mice, including requirements of surgical skills, demand of animal facilities to support post-operative care, high mortality rate and less flexibility in terms of dynamic alterations in urea levels, prompted us to develop a non-surgical model of renal dysfunction based on dietary intake of adenine. This approach has successfully been used in rats but not in mice because of their reluctance to consume adenine. Accordingly, addition of adenine to a standard mouse chow elicits high morbidity and mortality due to starvation and malnutrition rather than renal failure. In our model, this was circumvented by mixing the adenine in a casein-based chow, in which the casein effectively removed the inherent smell and taste of adenine.
Since the sensitivity to adenine as well as food intake may vary between various strains of mice, we propose a protocol with ad libitum changes in adenine concentration between 0.15-0.20% during the maintenance phase. The accepted variability in blood urea level during the maintenance phase may cause inter-individual variations in kidney function that could affect the phenotype. However such variability is inevitable and present in other uremic animal models as well. On the contrary, providing a target urea interval provides the opportunity to adjust blood urea levels according to the desired outcome or mechanisms of interest.
The apparent improvement in kidney function after lowering the adenine concentration, as indicated by a decline in blood urea and PTH levels, suggests at least a partial reversibility of renal impairment. However we did not examine whether adenine discontinuation translated into long-term histological improvements. Given the severity of the renal histopathological lesions observed after eight weeks of adenine exposure, we anticipate that long-term adenine challenge will cause chronic renal failure with less reversibility as observed in adenine-induced uremia in rats [16]. Regardless, the possibility to short-term modulate kidney function provides significant benefits in terms of the possibility to extend study protocols and to analyze outcome variables in various strata of kidney function. Additional advantages of our model include zero mortality, which limits the number of animals needed for induction, and the small inter-individual variation in renal function that contrasts the 5/6 nephrectomy model [10, 17]. It also provides a good option for researchers with limited surgical competence and/or restrictions in post-operative care.
Some more common non-surgical options to study uremia including radiation nephropathy and administration of nephrotoxic drugs such as folic acid [18], cyclosporin A [19] and cisplatin [20] should be mentioned. However, these models are non-reversible, strain-dependent and of limited use due to systemic toxicity. Genetic mouse models mimicking various aspects of kidney failure are also available, but these are compromised by the need for breeding to create combined backgrounds with other genetically altered mouse strains [20].
Several different uremic models have also been developed in rats. Advantages with rat models are that collected blood and urine volumes are significantly greater, blood samples at intermediate time points are more easily obtainable and certain organs such as parathyroid glands are readily identified. Another apparent difference is that rats tolerate higher adenine exposure, which reportedly produce 3–5 times higher blood urea concentrations than our model. This may also impact renal histology since rats in additional to tubular damage generally also suffer from extensive glomerular damage which was not found in our model [21].
There are several biochemical findings of interest in our model. Serum calcium level was unaltered in the adenine-treated mice likely due to a compensatory rise in PTH, which largely mimics the situation in patients with CKD stage 3–4. Normal serum calcium concentrations have also been reported in other CKD models [22]. Another striking finding is the continuous and marked rise in FGF23 although other bone-mineral markers remained more constant during the maintenance phase. This supports the presence of renal derived factors that regulates FGF23 synthesis in bone. Alternatively, the tubular damage may severely hamper intact FGF23 degradation leading to accumulation of circulating FGF23 protein. The pattern of bone markers suggesting an increased bone formation but decreased bone resorption is somewhat unexpected in a uremic model of secondary hyperparathyroidism and anticipated high bone turnover rate. The mechanism(s) underlying reduced bone resorption are unclear but could speculatively be due to impaired osteoclast function as a result of the exceptionally elevated levels of FGF23.
Some potential limitations should be mentioned. We cannot exclude the possibility of systemic toxicity or organ-specific damages caused by the adenine. Because tubular toxicity of adenine metabolites is the underlying mechanism of adenine-induced renal failure [23, 24], our model primary reflects a tubulointerstitial disease whereas the most common cause of CKD in human is glomerular scarring secondary to vascular damage. Thus, our model should not be regarded as a model of CKD per se but rather as a complementary model of renal failure. We did not determine the dietary (caloric) intake, yet based on previous experiments in rats the adenine-fed animals may have somewhat lower overall dietary intake. Further, we did not perform dynamic bone histomorphometry although adenine models in rats produce a high turnover phenotype. Finally, possible strain differences as found in other mouse models [25] warrant further investigation.
We present a novel non-surgical protocol for induction of renal failure in mice. This will be an important complement to existing models for the study of pathophysiological events and complications related to acute and chronic kidney disease, specifically in terms of tubulointerstitial lesions and abnormalities in mineral metabolism.

The bankrupt hijacking ARF agenda
This year it tried a different methodology, insisting that all parties must show legal proof for their territorial claims, which Hillary Clinton forgot, would only weaken the claims of Vietnam, the Philippines and the rest of the Asean states involved. The Chinese have written records long before these states became countries and nations and have their own written languages. The Chinese were sailing the South China Seas long before these states built a boat that was more than 10m long and could sail the high seas.
Hillary still declared that 'These incidents endanger the safety of life at sea, escalate tensions, undermine freedom of navigation and pose risks to lawful, unimpeded commerce and economic development.' This was poof poofed by Yang Jie Chi, Chinese Foreign Minister who said China guaranteed freedom of navigation in the region and the proof was that no one had its freedom to sail in the seas impeded.
What Hillary wanted was the American's version of peace and stability, without endangering safety of life, escalating tension, like in Afghanistan, Iraq and Libya, with American's military might in full play. Fortunately the Asean states and China would not be drawn into a conflict dictated by the Americans and turn the region into another Afghanistan or the Middle East.
A bankrupt country, with US$14 trillion in debt, and expending US$4 trillion in the Afghan and Middle East Wars, is trying to start another war in East Asia. Now how much is US$14 trillion? The combined economy of Asean and Australia is only US$3 trillion. That is how big the American debt. And the Americans could not see the bleeding. They are running out of American dollars and could only resort to printing and printing. It is only a matter of time before they bleed to death. They just have no money to continue with their wars and war mongering. Every conflict, every day of wars is going to be every costly, and the clock is running before they end up like the former Soviet Union. The Americans would soon join the ranks of beggar countries.
The Americans again left the ARF empty handed, banging and pulling their hair with no one listening to their nonsense and war mongering.

What still puzzles me is this soap opera about raising the debt ceiling. Is raising the debt ceiling really going to solve the debt problem of the US or make it worse? Or, as they say, just a matter of kicking the can further down the road.
The way I look at it, the US will not, by any stroke of the imagination, be able to repay it's debts in a million years. So, raising the debt ceiling just means being able to borrow more.
By and by, it means defaulting and not paying back creditors forcing them to write off all debts. Is this the scenario that will emerge years down the road?

They are likely to play rough and use their guns.

'Mei Quo' ('the beautiful country', so undeservedly given, by courtesy of the Chinese language) has been trying, and no doubt, will continue trying to incite the nations linked to the South China Sea issue to involve themselves in dispute with China. Clearly, SE Asia of today, is no longer pliable to Western msichief making, and know full well where their future and well being hinges on.

The Americans are trying to start a new theatre of tension and warfare in SE Asia to boost their war industry and economy. It is also another diversion tactics to take away the attention of the rest of the world from Libya and the other wars they are conducting.
While the UN only authorised Nato to maintain a no flying zone for Gaddafi's aircraft, Nato is now conducting a full scale war against Libya, while the world continues to sleep. The Europeans are bent on controlling and colonising the Arabs.
What can the world do about it? Or what can the Arabs do about it? They will divide the world and to eat up one sector at a time. The stupid Southeast Asians would soon be drawn into a major conflict and turn the region into another Middle East, fighting and killing everyday, and buying more weapons from the Americans, and inviting the Americans here to kill the Asians.
ZOPFAN will soon be a zone of warfare and destruction

Elinor Ostrom, an Indiana University political scientist who is the only woman to have been awarded a Nobel Prize in economics, died Tuesday. She was 78.
Ostrom, who won a share of the 2009 prize for her research into how people overcome selfish interests to successfully manage natural resources, died of pancreatic cancer at IU Health Bloomington Hospital, said Michael McGinnis, a friend and colleague who was at her bedside when she died.
Ostrom's ailing 93-year-old husband, Vincent Ostrom, was brought to her room after she passed away, McGinnis said
"He was able to say goodbye to her and see that she was gone. I think he understood. It was very touching," McGinnis said.
Ostrom, who along with her husband founded IU's Workshop in Political Theory and Policy Analysis in 1973, remained active in her research even after learning she had cancer late last year, said McGinnis, the workshop's current director. He said she had traveled to Mexico this spring only a couple of weeks before her final hospitalization.
"She worked to the very end," said McGinnis, a colleague of 25 years.
Ostrom shared the 2009 Nobel Prize for economics with Oliver Williamson from the University of California, Berkeley. Both were honored for analyzing the rules by which people exercise authority in companies and economic systems.
Williamson said in a statement that Ostrom was "a great human being," an inspiring teacher and colleague and accomplished social scientist.
"She had a wonderful sense of joy about the importance of her work that she successfully communicated to others," he said.
A record five women won Nobels in 2009, but Ostrom is the only woman to have been awarded the economics prize.
Ostrom, who was born and raised in Los Angeles, devoted her career to studying the interaction of people and natural resources. Through her research, she demonstrated how common resources _ forests, fisheries, oil fields or grazing lands _ can be managed successfully by the people who use them, rather than by governments or private companies.
"What we have ignored is what citizens can do and the importance of real involvement of the people involved _ versus just having somebody in Washington ... make a rule," Ostrom said the day her Nobel Prize was announced.
Ostrom conducted field studies of the world's fisheries, roamed with shepherds in Swiss pastures and trudged around the Los Angeles water basin to distill the essentials of harnessing cooperation to overcome selfish interests.
"What she did was to convince us, those of us who studied the other system _ the experts, the state and the markets _ to learn to appreciate the creativity of the local communities," McGinnis said. "Her work cut through ideology in a way that is frankly not very prevalent in today's public discourse."
Ostrom was born Elinor Awan on Aug. 7, 1933, in Los Angeles. School officials said she often spoke about what it was like to be a child of the Great Depression, helping her family grow food in a large garden and knitting scarves for soldiers during World War II.
She studied at UCLA, graduated in three years and then worked in the private sector before entering graduate school and receiving master's and doctoral degrees in political science from UCLA. Ostrom said some people had discouraged her from seeking a doctoral degree when she applied for graduate school, but that she loved studying economics.
Ostrom and her husband moved to Indiana in 1965 when he got a job in the political science department. She later got a job there because, she said, the department needed someone to teach a 7:30 a.m. class.
IU President Michael McRobbie said in a statement that with Ostrom's passing the school "has lost an irreplaceable and magnificent treasure." He also said she had brought distinction to IU through her "groundbreaking work."
McGinnis said that Ostrom donated her share of the $1.4 million Nobel award money to the workshop _ the biggest by far of numerous several academic prizes with monetary awards that the Ostroms had given to the group over the years. He said couple had no children and few living relatives.
"Their family was the group of people who worked around the workshop. She was devoted to her students, to her colleagues, to her staff," McGinnis said. "I really hope she's remembered for many years."

Title: Redemptive (Combative Trilogy 2)
Author: Jay McLean
Release Day: March 8
It's said that your life flashes before your eyes when you die.It must only happen to those whose lives were worthy.Clearly, mine was not.The only thing that happened to me was a repeat of what I thought was my death.The blast of the gun as it went off.The loss of my breath as two hundred pounds of dead weight dropped on top of me.And then darkness.This replayed over and over.When the guy squatted down next to me and asked if I was hurt, the only thing I could see, feel,hear, were those few seconds.Even now, as I sat in the back of a blacked out van—it was the only thing that ran through my mind.Gunshot, breath, darkness.
COMBATIVE (BOOK 1) ON SALE FOR 99c
Amazon | Amazon UK | iBooks | B & N | Kobo
My Thoughts
Jay McLean has just revealed to us one of her best books yet. Redemptive is gut-wrenchingly, heartbreaking in the most beautiful way. Redemptive left me cringing, gasping, and wanting more. When I read Combative, the first book in the trilogy, I had a direction of where this book was going to head, but that is not even close to what I got. I was not expecting anything of what I got. Redemptive tore me to pieces. It gave me the very few answers that I was not ready for. I wasn't prepared for them. I wasn't prepared for characters that made me love them and hate them at the same time. Although, I admit, it was more love than hate.
Redemptive is a book I thought would give me answers, but instead it literally took me back, not moving me even an inch forward in time. Jay McLean left me in shock and reeling with emotions. I do not know what is to come or where she will take this trilogy next. I am left dumbfounded. I don't have the words to express how wrong but so right this book is.
I can't even speak my mind because I can't reveal too much. I can't talk about the characters because it would give too much away. I can't talk about the story because it feels wrong to share something that is too good to speak about. This book is all about experience. You have to experience it yourself to be caught up in this emotional twist of events. All I can tell you is that this book is beyond great. It NEEDS to be read. It needs to be cherished and appreciated. Don't get me wrong, this book will leave you in a whirlwind. BUT it is definitely worth it.
I have nothing else to say. This has been one of the hardest reviews I have ever written. I have too much to say but not anything that I can actually say. I will just leave you with this: READ THIS BOOK. Love it, and fall in love with Jay McLean a little bit more. Her books are everything you need and you will not be disappointed.

Watch Taylor Swift, Jimmy Fallon Drown in Popcorn, Jumbotron Dance
And mark the first anniversary of Fallon's Tonight Show.
Yesterday was the first anniversary of Jimmy Fallon's first episode hosting his late-night show. As part of the festivities (kind of), Fallon had Taylor Swift on to talk about her penchant for dancing at live events. Naturally the duo then did their own dancing via Jumbotrons. Obviously the highlights here are the real Jumbotron clips, but T-Swift has some solid moves, too.
Unrelated, but this also happened and is important:

Louisville Tops Pitt, 75-51
Feb. 28, 2009
Louisville, Ky. (AP) - Candyce Bingham scored a career-high 26 points to lead No. 8 Louisville to a 75-51 win over No. 15 Pittsburgh on the Saturday.

Shavonte Zellous scored 15 and had six rebounds for the Panthers.
The Cardinals never trailed and put the game away with a 15-point run in the second half, after the Panthers got within three.

Jennifer Lopez has been sued for $10,000 by a man who claims the actress persuaded him to send her naked pictures through the mail.
Rodrigo Ruiz filed a lawsuit against the Selena star in Los Angeles, alleging she began professing her love for him and asking him to send the saucy photos in a series of letters in 2008.
He also claims she asked him to send her a demo CD in order to help him launch a music career.
Ruiz explains that he never heard from Lopez again after he sent everything to her, and he insists it sent him into a deep depression, for which he sought professional help.
However, the letters appear to be part of a scam and not from Lopez - the address from which they were sent were traced back to a 53-year-old California woman, who claims she runs a Jennifer Lopez fan mail exchange.
A representative for the actress tells TMZ.com, "This is a small claims matter that appears to be a desperate attempt for notoriety. Ms Lopez has never seen or met the plaintiff, nor has she ever communicated with him. We believe this matter should be summarily dismissed."
