Determination of recommended phase II dose of ABTL0812, a novel regulator of Akt/mTOR axis, by pharmacokinetic-pharmacodynamic modelling
Published: 11 Oct. 2016
Ann Oncol (2016) 27 (suppl_6): 378P
Background: ABTL0812 is an anticancer agent in clinical development with a novel mechanism of action. It inhibits the Akt/mTOR axis after binding to PPARs and subsequent induction of TRIB3, a pseudokinase that acts as a negative regulator of Akt. Preclinical studies have shown high efficacy in different tumor types including NSCLC, endometrial cancer, pancreatic cancer and neuroblastoma. ABTL0812 exhibits, efficacy in resistant models and synergy with chemotherapy while maintaining extremely low toxicity.
Methods: A phase Ib clinical trial with a 3 + 3 escalation design and an expansion phase was performed in patients with advanced solid tumors. Safety and tolerability were the main objectives of the trial. ABTL0812 pharmacokinetics (PK) was determined and the ratio between phosphorylated Akt and total Akt (pAkt/Akt) levels in...

Running Man star Kim Jong Kook chooses Yoon Eun Hye as his ideal type
Popular singer and Running Man's strong man, Kim Jong Kook, is on his way to be a special guest at DramaFever's Third Annual DramaFever Awards in NYC, but not before he made a new revelation on the SBS Healing Camp program on February 2. So what did he say about his hope for love and ideal type?
Many Korean stars and celebrities are careful about their relationships for fear of upsetting their fans. However, lately there seems to be a rush to admit secret romances. We recently reported on Lee Min Ho, Park Min Young, Girls' Generation's Sunny, and even Park Shin Hye. No specific names were mentioned, and fans are sometimes left wondering even more.
Kim Jong Kook didn't exactly make a confession about a secret romance, but here's what happened on Healing Camp on February 2.
Kim has often been teased about his admiration for actress Yoon Eun Hye ever since they were on the X-Man variety show in 2005. He was pretty open about liking Yoon Eun Hye on that show, but now it seems that they've never dated.
He at first said, "It would've been nice if we had dated, right?" and laughed when one of the show's hosts, Sung Yu Ri asked if they had dated. But he then made this interesting admission: "When we were recording, I would think of her as my woman. Within this, if a woman who was coupled up with me was being asked out by another man, I thought that I'd have to protect her."
See Kim Jong Kook in the latest episode of Running Man:
Host and comedian Kim Jae Dong then asked Kim Jong Kook to select between Sung Yu Ri and Yoon Eun Hye in a round of "Ideal Type World Cup." Kim Jong Kook's face seemed to flush as he laughed.
Kim Jae Dong didn't leave him off the hook as he noted, "Your face turns red even at the mention of Yoon Eun Hye's name. You really liked her, didn't you?" Kimg Jong Kook chose Yoon Eun Hye and explained that Sung Yu Ri was already taken so he couldn't really choose her.
Now comes a really sweet declaration of some sort from Kim Jong Kook.
He said, via the TV program, "I want to tell you thank you. When you're not busy, let's eat together."
Does Yoon Eun Hye know about Kim Jong Kook's feelings and on-air invitation to eat together? We could only hope. They do look nice together, and their personalities seem really compatible. Will someone please call up Yoon Eun Hye? Maybe it's time for her confession.
By the way, tickets are sold out to the exciting DramaFever award event. If you are one of the lucky fans who is attending the special event, please share your experience.

Honduras, officially the Republic of Honduras, is a republic in Central America. It was at times referred to as Spanish Honduras to differentiate it from British Honduras, which became the modern-day state of Belize. The country is bordered to the west by Guatemala, to the southwest by El Salvador, to the southeast by Nicaragua, to the south by the Pacific Ocean at the Gulf of Fonseca, and to the north by the Gulf of Honduras, a large inlet of the Caribbean Sea. Honduras was home to several important Mesoamerican cultures, most notably the Maya, prior to being conquered by Spain in the sixteenth century. The Spanish introduced Roman Catholicism and the now predominant Spanish language, along with numerous customs that have blended with the indigenous culture. The country became independent in 1821 and has since been a republic, although it has consistently endured much social strife and political instability, remaining one of the poorest countries in the Western Hemisphere. Honduras spans an area of about 112,492 km² and has a population exceeding 8 million. Its northern portions are part of the Western Caribbean Zone, as reflected in the area's demographics and culture. Honduras is known for its rich natural resources, including various minerals, coffee, tropical fruit, and sugar cane, as well as for its growing textiles industry, which serves the international market.

Adolescence is not an easy time of life, but there are ways that parents can learn to make it less difficult. From modeling good behavior and congenial social skills to acting with kindness and compassion toward their teens, parents can go a long way in making this time of life more manageable.
"In one 2016 study of a large group of teenagers from diverse ethnic backgrounds, results showed that teens with high levels of parental support had lower depression symptoms and lower cortisol and C-reactive protein levels—two physiological markers associated with depression—than teens with less supportive relationships. Interestingly, peer support levels did not change these markers, suggesting that parental support may be key."

* indicates next player to serve
15.45 So Federer wins his ninth game in a row and reaches yet another final - his seventh in this competition alone - and to be honest he never looked at all likely to be thwarted by Ferrer today. He made a lot of unforced errors, enough to encourage whoever wins the other semi-final; but even when his own game was misfiring he didn't look perturbed. Ferrer couldn't get near those first serves, when they landed in the court. For the 12th time, the Spaniard spent a sweaty hour and a bit running around gallantly at the mercy of a superior player, holding out in the belief that perhaps this time could be different. Well, maybe he'll beat Federer at the 13th time of asking. For now, he focused on next week's Davis Cup encounter, when he'll join Rafa Nadal on the Spain team which takes on Argentina. Federer will face one of Tomas Berdych and Jo-Wilfried Tsonga - I'll be back for their game later. Thanks for reading.
Ferrer 5-7, 3-6 *Federer: Roger Federer reaches his 100th final Federer goes for a huge inside-out forehand at 15-15, generating ferocious topspin and holding the pose with the racket aloft, looking a bit pleased with himself. The ball lands just long, though. Shucks. At 40-30, Ferrer is just a centimetre away from making Federer serve for the match, only for the ball to plop agonisingly into his half of the court after hitting the let-cord. Federer glides from forehand to forehand on the next point, not seeking to do to much until Ferrer lapses and sends down a short ball. Federer pounces - ripped backhand down the line, forehand into the empty net - and that's match point. He goes for a big winner - and misses. He gets another chance, aiming a slice into the corner with no pace at all and asking Ferrer to do something with it. In his effort to generate any kind of pace on the dying ball, Ferrer hits it out of play. Match point no. 2, and this time Federer takes it with a clobbered forehand.
Ferrer* 5-7, 3-5 Federer Again, Federer wraps up his service game without dropping a point, or indeed missing a first serve.
Ferrer 5-7, 3-4 *Federer A love-hold for Ferrer to keep things interesting. Another surprising run of misses from Federer there.
Ferrer* 5-7, 2-4 Federer Federer has refound his focus after that little run of errors, and wins the game in just a few seconds, looking supremely casual. He's found a formula guaranteed to beat Ferrer - the kick serve out wide, then that ballistic forehand into the opposite corner of the court. When Federer's hitting his first serve right, Ferrer is out of the point from the word go. Just a couple of games away now.
Ferrer 5-7, 2-3 *Federer Ferrer rubs his face blearily with a towel as he returns to the baseline, having just watched a Federer forehand sail past him. 15-40. This must be a familiar feeling for him - he's just won the three sets against Federer. Federer fluffs his lines, though, whacking a backhand from mid-court into the net when Ferrer surely thought the game was up. And the errors keep coming: four of them in a row, and Ferrer escapes the game.
Ferrer* 5-7, 1-3 Federer Federer wins to 15, sealing the hold with a volley which he angles to land just a foot or so behind Ferrer as the Spaniard pushes off his grounded foot to recover position. That's a cunning, devious shot from Federer, who seems to be having a bit more fun now.
Ferrer 5-7, 1-2 *Federer Ferrer, struggling for every point now, battles to 30-15. A sumptious Federer forehand makes it 30-all, but he digs out a deep, punishing forehand which lands between Federer's feet to get to game point. Federer isn't in the mood to give anything away now, and is this close to making it deuce after taunting Ferrer with a scooped lob which has Ferrer kicking up sparks as he reverses direction at net. Lungs burning, he fires a totally ungettable forehand down-the-line searing past Federer. It lands just inside the baseline and he's on the scoreboard in the second set. A superb shot, and the crowd erupts.
Ferrer* 5-7, 0-2 Federer Federer wins the game to love, taking about as much time as it took me to Ctrl-v the scoreline.
Ferrer 5-7, 0-1 *Federer At 15-30 Federer is within touching distance of a surely irretrievable lead in the second set, but Ferrer holds o with a gutsy sequence of forehands from the baseline. But it's not enough - Federer is suddenly in a different league, and wins the next two points to break without too much trouble. He's standing well inside the baseline and firing his returns remoreselessly to Ferrer's backhand. This might not go on too much longer.
Ferrer* 5-7 Federer It didn't take much for Federer to regain that untouchable saunter, the air of invincibility. He holds the game to 30, ambling from point to point and sealing the set with a first-serve exocet which had Ferrer sprawling. He's just six games over from a 100th career final. Ferrer played very well and made it difficult for Federer - though it's fair to say that he made it difficult for himself. Lots of errors from the reigning champion. Had he played like that against Nadal he would have been chewed up, and everybody would be saying he's over the hill.
Ferrer 5-6 *Federer What has Ferrer got left after that arduous Federer hold? He never actually had a break point (a set point, it would have been) but nevertheless, Federer seemed to be on the ropes. Federer comes alive, and plays the best point he's managed in the match so far to make it 0-15 - the familiar whiplash forehand, then an ice-cold volley. Now things are much harder for the Spaniard. Soon it's 15-40, as Federer torments Ferrer with a dropshot, a lob, a bludgeoning forehand. Two break points. Ferrer saves the first, not the second: he goes for too much with a forehand hit from the centre of the baseline, grunting and going for every last ounce of torque. It's just out of play, and Federer will serve for the set,
Ferrer* 5-5 Federer That's more like it from Federer, sprinting to net and spinning a perfect half-volley over the net with very no time to think and Ferrer well positioned on the other side of the net. That had to be inch-perfect. But again, an exchange of misses keeps things slightly nervy for the Swiss. He serves an ace at 30-30 to give himself a break, but crashes a forehand long: deuce. Another surprising error, that - Federer was moving backwards to meet the rising ball, so it wasn't an easy shot, but you still assume he'll find the line. A first-serve winner, but then Ferrer wins a point off Federer's first serve for this first time in the game as Federer fires a wonky forehand into the middle of the tramlines.
At game point for Federer the spectators in the Millenium Dome get their first chance to gasp after an extraordinary exchange of reflex volleys at net. Exciting stuff, but Federer usually wouldn't get into that position: he had the chance to hit a passing shot with Ferrer stranded mid-court, but went for a slightly baffling dropshot instead.
He gets another chance to close out the game, but lets Ferrer back in once more, directing a passing shot too close to the Spaniard, who lifts a perfect lob over his opponent. Ferrer's got the bit between his teeth now, and staves off yet another game point: deuce no. 3. He dashes after Federer's groundstokes gallantly enough on the next point but eventually runs out of position, and at the fourth time of asking Federer seals the game, though he needed an error from Ferrer, who lashes a wild forehand wide. Now the pressure's back on the challenger.
Ferrer 5-4 *Federer Federer needs to hold to stay in the first set after another remarkably comfortable service game for Ferrer, held to 15.
Ferrer* 4-4 Federer There's a slightly more typical service game from Federeer: a couple of aces, a couple of service winners, and it's over before Ferrer knew what was happening. The reigning champion hasn't dropped a point on his first serve yet, but he's still only serving around 40 percent.
Ferrer 4-3 *Federer Ferrer suddenly looks a little more confident. He wins another quick game, a couple of fine points in there from him. A terrific forehand winner in one pointt, and in general a good range of angled, teasing groundstrokes that keep Federer guessing.
Ferrer* 3-3 Federer Something's not right with Federer. A couple of lacklustre, underpowered forehands go awrry, and he's already made more errors than he did all match against Nadal. It's as though a little speck of grit's lodged somewhere in the gleaming cogwheels of the Rolex. Ferrer has a great chance to make it break point, but misses with the court at his mercy. Federer gratefully holds. A strange, error-filled game so far.
Ferrer 3-2 *Federer Double faults from Ferrer give Federer a look at a break at 0-30. But he misses twice himself, allowing Ferrer back into the game. The Swiss produces the first spectactular shot of the afternoon, a magnificent forehand, to earn the first break point of the match. Ferrer saves, pounding along the baseline like the claycourter that he is and recovering Federer's artful groundstrokes. He closes out the game quickly. Federer will be disappointed to let that chance slide. Not that he's showing it.
Ferrer* 2-2 Federer Federer hasn't quite got his first serve into gear yet, but he's mixing it up enough on his second to dominate the points. Slices and deep kick-serves into the Spaniard's body and he eases to a second service hold, taking the game to 15. He hasn't broken a sweat yet, and Ferrer has already made five unforced errors.
Ferrer 2-1 *Federer At 30-15, Ferrer folds, dumping the ball into the net after the longest rally of the match. He's already looking a little hunted - or is that the moody blue lighting at the O2 Arena? (That's enough branding for today; from now on it's the Millenium Dome. Don't think you can bury the past that easily, O2. Holding tennis matches in the Dome is only slightly less karmically troubling than playing in an ancient Indian burial ground.) Anyway, Federer was looking extremely unlikely to miss in that rally. But he misses the next shot, finding the net with his return. Federer pegs the Spaniard back to deuce, but Ferrer holds on to keep his nose in front in the opening set.
Ferrer* 1-1 Federer Federer wraps up his service game to 15, looking imperious. He seals the game with the laziest of volleys at net, a neat little flick into the empty court after bringing Ferrer to net with a dropshot.
Ferrer 1-0 *Federer A solid hold for Ferrer, who won the toss. Federer misses with a couple of forehands, Ferrer keeps the points short, and he ties up the game to love. Cautious applause from the crowd.
14.10 Afternoon. No time for much pretentious preamble, you'll be glad to hear, since the players have already marched out awkwardly through the stage smoke into the floodlights. The O2's announcer does his best to add to the occasion with the kind of introduction more usually reserved for boxers wearing glittery dressing gowns ("From Switzerland: Rog-eeerrrr - Feder-ERRRR"). On TV, Boris Becker does his bit too, saying that David Ferrer has nothing to lose so the pressure's all on the Swiss. This hasn't prevented him from beating Ferrer 11 times out of 11, so I reckon this one will be over quickly. They're knocking up and play will begin soon.

The X-Controller is high-power motion controller for your CNC machine. It's not only more powerful than entry-level controllers, but in our experience, it's also more reliable. The X-Controller uses large removable terminal blocks and an aluminum enclosure to keep electronics protected and the wiring clean.
X-Controller pre-orders will begin shipping by January 31st. Hurry! Inventables only has 400 available in our first production run, so don't miss out! The second production run is expected to arrive in April 2016.
Here is a quick list of specifications for why you would consider getting this product.
- First is the power: (4) 4A stepper drivers. The gshield has three 1.5A drivers (Y axis has 2 ganged drivers for X-Carve type machines). This gives 1 more powerful driver to each stepper motor compared to a gshield.
- Micro Stepping (Full through 1/16th) the gshield supports 1/8th.
- Easy current adjustment via large, well-marked potentiometers
- Automatic idle current reduction independent for each axis
- Internal 24V 400W power supply for stepper motors. This cleans all the electronics up to one simple box.
- Large internal heatsink and integrated cooling fan keeps system cool at all power loads. We haven't been able to overheat it yet. With the gshield sometimes you get erratic behavior on really long carves or if you are pumping a lot of current through and the chips overheat.
- Spindle speed control (0-5VDC PWM or 0-10V)
- Noise-filtered inputs for 3 axis home/limit switches
- Noise-filtered input for Z probe/touch plate
- 2 digital outputs to control external items like vacuums and coolant systems
- All inputs and outputs have their own ground terminals for clean and easy wiring.
- Rugged latching E-Stop that kills all power
- Feedhold, Cycle Start and Reset (Motion Cancel) buttons on front side
- All electrical interfaces use large, detachable terminal blocks. On the gshield the wires are screwed in and can come loose with excessive vibration.
- Heavy aluminum chassis with mounting holes keeps debris away from electronics.
- You can upgrade your stepper motors to Inventables 262oz/in NEMA 23's or bigger ones that have even more torque to make use of the 4A.
An over simplified analogy might be replacing a V4 engine with a V8.

DELAND — Volusia County school board members gave tentative approval Tuesday to a $189 million budget for 1985-86 that would increase the property tax rate by .3 mills over this year. The action paves the way for a final public hearing and adoption of the budget on Sept. 10.
Because of a small change in the amount of taxes the state requires the county to levy, the rate approved Tuesday is .03 mills lower than the one advertised by the school board two weeks ago. A mill is a $1 levy on each $1,000 of taxable property value.

ROME, Feb 19 (Reuters) - Five days before national elections almost a third of Italians have yet to decide who to vote for or are considering not voting at all, a survey showed on Tuesday, highlighting uncertainty over the outcome.
The poll in Corriere della Sera daily showed the proportion of Italians undecided or tempted to abstain has declined from 51.5 percent in December but remains at a significant 27.7 percent less than a week before the vote on Sunday and Monday.
Final polls on Feb. 8, before a legal black-out period set in, indicated that the centre-left Democratic Party would win a lower house majority but will need to form a coalition with outgoing Prime Minister Mario Monti's centrist grouping.
Silvio Berlusconi's centre-right alliance was about 6 percentage points behind the frontrunners. But the hefty proportion of undecided voters means the outcome is still unpredictable and the final days of campaigning will be crucial.
Publication of polls is illegal in the two weeks leading up to the Feb. 24-25 election but analysts are permitted to reveal data on likely participation rates.
Most of the undecided are middle-aged housewives or pensioners with relatively low education levels, mainly living in the south of Italy, and with little interest in politics, pollster Renato Mannheimer of the ISPO institute said.
"More than half of those who are currently undecided or potential abstainers say they can't place themselves on the right or the left," Mannheimer told the Milan daily.
He added it was likely that many people who were yet to decide would probably not vote, based on past electoral trends.
But historical participation rates suggest about 5 million people, or 10 percent of voters, will make up their minds in the last few days, swayed by last-minute promises from party leaders regardless of their place on the political spectrum, he said.
Many polls over the last year have shown Italians disenchanted with a political class clinging to its privileges as the euro zone's third biggest but chronically uncompetitive economy descended deeper into crisis. (Reporting By Catherine Hornby)

That the Lord of the whole universe, God and the Son of God, should humble Himself like this under the form of a little bread, for our salvation ...In this world I cannot see the Most High Son of God with my own eyes, except for His Most Holy Body and Blood.
For One in such a lofty position to stoop so low is a marvel that is staggering. What sublime humility and humble sublimeness, that the Lord of the Universe, the Divine Son of God, should stoop as to hide Himself under the appearance of bread for our salvation! Behold the humble way of God, my brothers. Therefore, do not hold yourselves to be anything of yourselves, so that you may be entirely acceptable to One Who gives Himself entirely to you.
Such was the will of the Father that his Son, blessed and glorious, whom he gave to us, and who was born for us, should by his own blood, sacrifice, and oblation, offer himself on the altar of the cross, not for himself, by whom "all things were made," but for our sins, leaving us an example that we should follow his steps.

When camera phones first came out they were a novelty. Back then nobody looked at a camera phone as being a true replacement for a digital camera. That lasted until the resolution of camera phones began to increase. Now some people are honestly seeing them as a replacement for their digital camera. The mobile phone makes the most sense to be that replacement since many of us carry them around with us no matter where we go.
What's been missing in a camera phone is one which has truly been designed to take good pictures. That means it has to have a high resolution camera and the type of picture technology built into most digital cameras these days. The MOTOZINE ZN5 from T-Mobile seems to be an attempt to create such a product.
This would be a good camera even if it wasn't a phone
First of all, besides looking like a real camera from the back, the phone comes with Kodak technology built into it. While most mobile phones include a camera as an after thought, it's clear that the MOTOZINE ZN5 puts the camera function of the mobile phone first. After all, it has the Kodak brand on it.
The camera phone comes with an impressive five megapixel resolution and other camera features such as auto focus, a multi-shot mode, a panorama mode, Xenon flash, and even photo editing. To ensure you have a way to show off all of your cool pictures, the phone even comes with a TV out. All of these great camera functions are complimented by video capture and playback. To make sure you have plenty of room to take those photos and videos a 1GB memory card is also included.
Mobile phone features not compromised for camera functions
Now don't be fooled into thinking it doesn't come with mobile phone features as well. The phone includes a music player, speakerphone, support for MegaTone and HiFi Ringers, voice dialing, and stereo Bluetooth connectivity. It is also myFave compatible allowing you to choose contacts for unlimited dialing outside of the T-Mobile network.
Wi-Fi Support, FM Tuner and Nice LCD Screen
I found the nicest feature of the phone to be its Wi-Fi support. That means the phone comes with a fast way to send all those photos to friends and family. The Wi-Fi support in addition to access to the online Kodak Gallery makes it really easy to upload and share your favorite photos. If Wi-Fi is not available, the phone will simply use the EDGE network to upload photos. To manage your photo collection you can also use the included KODAK EASYSHARE software.
The other thing you've got to love is the camera phone's 2.4-inch LCD screen which makes viewing photos, video, and web pages nice. Another nice bonus is the camera's FM tuner. These days I think Motorola believes you can't manufacture a phone without juicing up the music features of the device. That being said, the FM tuner is a nice addition.
The Test Drive
I must admit that I like how the camera phone fits in your hand. It's thin profile makes it really easy to carry around. Most importantly, when the phone is in camera mode it really operates just like a regular digital camera thanks to the phone's large LCD screen. Of course, the question has to be whether or not it takes good pictures.
{ad}The every day mobile phone I normally carry around has a 2 megapixel camera. That being said, I immediately noticed the difference in the quality of pictures between the two phones. Another big difference is that not every camera phone comes with a flash so the Xenon flash included with the MOTOZINE ZN5 makes it really easy to take pictures even if there is little light. The nice auto-focus with the MOTOZINE ZN5 made my photos seem much clearer then my other camera phone, too. Since the phone handles just like a regular digital camera you'll have no problem handing it to a stranger to take a photo since the shutter release button is in the same location as other camera phones.
Take A Picture, Share A Picture
You can tell that Motorola knew that people wanting this phone would want to share the pictures they take immediately. That's why the camera phone includes a quick share button when in camera mode. You can share your pictures using the T-Mobile My Album, Kodak Gallery, picture messaging, or Bluetooth.
The keypad. Is that rubber?
I've never commented on the feeling of most phone's keypads, but the feeling of the MOTOZINE ZN5's number pad really was a little annoying to me. I can see where some people may have liked it, but I didn't. It felt like I was pressing buttons made out of a trampoline. At times I really felt like I had to add a little more pressure then usual to make the keys work. I admit this may just be personal preference, but the keypad just seemed a little too soft for me.
If you're looking for a true replacement to your digital camera the MOTOZINE ZN5 may be it. I can also see this camera being a treat for someone who loves sharing photos with family and friends online and through social websites like Facebook or MySpace. The MOTOZINE ZN5 is available for US$99 from T-Mobile with a US$150 instant discount and US$100 mail-in rebate with a two year contract.

With a federal corruption case pending against him, Joseph Lee walked into the office of Kendall Investigations in Knoxville and met with former FBI special agent Kendall Shull. It was Oct. 16, 2007, and Lee – the former president and CEO of Memphis Light, Gas and Water Division – was there in an effort to clear his name. He had traveled to Knoxville to take a polygraph test at Shull's office. Lee's attorney, Robert Spence, said this week he had planned to somehow publicize the results of the polygraph – which Lee passed – to defend his client against federal bribery charges.

We just couldn't resist. As you already know, we fux with Miguel…but this happened and we have to acknowledge it. For those that didn't see it, Miguel totally undershot a stunt move performed at the 2013 Billboard Awards, landing on a couple fans. The Internet immediately took to Photoshop creating classic memes. Yes, this actually happened in the world.Sidenote: Peep how he keeps on singing after he leg-drops old girl! LOLZ. The girls were okay and hung out with Miguel backstage after the incident. I might actually be willing to take a knee to the face for a little alone time with Miguel.

HA NOI (VNS)— Viet Nam and Malaysia have agreed to co-operate more strongly in the areas of national defence-security, labour, oil and gas, education-training, farming and aquaculture.
The agreement was reached during President Truong Tan Sang's meeting with visiting Malaysian Sultan Abdul Halim Mu'adzam Shah in Ha Noi yesterday, shortly after a warm welcoming ceremony.
Noting with pleasure the progress of their friendship and bilateral ties over recent years, both sides proposed ways to enhance Viet Nam-Malaysia links further.
President Sang hailed Malaysia as one of Viet Nam's top trading partners and investors. He promised to offer all possible support for Malaysian firms to do business in the country.
Both host and guest highly valued the activities to mark the 40th anniversary of diplomatic ties this year and agreed that visits by high-ranking delegations as well as co-operation among ministries, departments and localities should go on for a long time to come.
Turning their attention to regional and global issues of mutual interest, the host suggested the two sides continue working closely at regional and international forums, especially those within the framework of the Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN), the Asia-Europe Meeting (ASEM), the Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation (APEC) and the United Nations.
He spoke highly of Malaysia's stance on the East Sea issue and recommended continued bilateral efforts with other ASEAN member states in this matter.
In the evening, President Sang hosted a banquet in honour of Sultan Abdul Shah and his entourage.
The Malaysian leader also met with Party General Secretary Nguyen Phu Trong earlier in the day.
At the meeting, Trong has affirmed Viet Nam's consistent policy to foster friendship and multifaceted cooperation with countries in the region, including Malaysia.
He voiced his pleasure at the development of the two countries' relations and expressed his belief that the king's visit will contribute to further strengthening the ties between the two nations.
The host suggested both sides continue the exchange of high-ranking delegations and expand cooperation in the fields of trade, investment, education, culture, tourism and people-to-people exchanges.
The Malaysian Sultan congratulated Viet Nam on its great achievements in socio-economic development and its growing position in the regional and international arenas.
He briefed the host on the outcome of his meetings with President Sang, in which both sides agreed to enhance cooperation in economics, bilateral trade and effective coordination in international forums, especially ASEAN. — VNS

Some businesses begin with careful consideration, penetrating market research and a well-crafted business plan.
Train-ee started on a whim.
Well—less a whim than a spur of the moment decision to answer a cry in the ExpressionEngine support forums for a complete step by step series of tutorials for an entire site implementation on ExpressionEngine.
I began that series on Boyink.com, and six months and 17 chapters later it was the most popular content I'd ever published on the web. Once done I began getting requests for compiling the series into a downloadable eBook and so I sat down one Saturday morning thinking I'd knock that out in a few hours. It ended up taking at least 60 hours to edit the formatting and round out the content to where I felt it was a presentable book. Between that time investment and the value I felt it had I decided that I should charge for it. Boyink.com was already sort of a mish-mash of business and personal content and I didn't want to further confuse it, so a more targeted domain and site made sense.
And hence was born Train-ee.com.
So here's the basic idea of Train-ee.com—I'll develop resources that will help you learn ExpressionEngine. These resources will be in a variety of forms to accomodate different learning styles. I love EE as a product and always enjoy talking about it, demonstrating it, and helping people learn how to be productive and successful with it.
As a working web professional I understand the value of your time. My goal with all Train-ee content is to help you plan, produce and deliver an EE-based site in less time and with better results than you would have otherwise—thereby justifying your investment of time and money here on the site.

|I love the yellow dress in the upper-left
Hey there everyone! I hope you are enjoying your Memorial day weekend if you are in the States. I really wanted to sew this weekend, but life just somehow got in the way. I did manage to cut out this pattern S1418. I shared this pic on Instagram on Sunday...
|Picture taken from my instagram page.
I'm unsure of the fabric that I wanted to use, because I picked up this gorgeous linen fabric in an ethnic print colorway this weekend from Jo-Ann's. It's either between the black and white linen or my this gorgeous red, cotton blend fabric, seeing that I am really digging the color "red" at the moment!
I did do a quick tissue fit and saw that I needed to add length to the hem. I added 2" to the hem and 1" to the waist seam, also adding 1/2 to the side seams.
This looks kinda of rough, but I wanted to see how having the pleats in would possibly look. I also wanted to make sure that I had enough room on the side seams, so I made sure to add 1/2" and if I don't need it, then cool beans!
That's all that's going on with me today, and hopefully I can start sewing today, fingers crossed!
~Be blessed and nothin' less and continue to stay fearlessly fierce!

All Pro Eating has loudly proclaimed that this is the dawning of a new era in the world of Competitive Eating!
Madison, WI (PRWEB) January 08, 2013
In what is already being thought of as the most significant Competitive Eating announcement of 2013, All Pro Eating has officially introduced Jamie "The Bear" McDonald as the undisputed #1 Ranked Independent Competitive Eater in the World. All Pro Eating, the World's only recognized Independent Competitive Eating organization, declared Jamie McDonald Competitive Eating's Rookie of the Year in 2012 which was a year that saw him win five straight All Pro Eating sanctioned Competitive Eating Championships in addition to sixty other food eating contests and challenges.
In 2012, Jamie participated in five All Pro Eating Competitive Eating Championships where he won the titles of National Hamburger Eating Champion in Hamburg, PA; National Fried Mushroom Eating Champion in Kennett Square, PA; National Peach Fried Pie Eating Champion in Dallas, TX; National Oktoberfest Bratwurst Eating Champion in New York, NY and World Hands-Free Pumpkin Pie Eating Champion in Clarence, NY.

Although Jamie is known as "The Bear" he brings the "Eye of the Tiger" to every Competitive Eating Championship that he attends and is clearly ready to prove that any discussion of Competitive Eating should include his name!"
When asked about his thoughts regarding his alignment with All Pro Eating, Jamie McDonald commented, "I am very excited about joining the ranks of All Pro Eating (APE). This direction allows me to compete with the top Independent Competitive Eating organization and still allows me to participate in many other events that I may choose. During my rookie 2012 APE year I competed in 5 APE sanctioned events and each was well run and fairly judged. Their Picnic Style Rules support my own style of eating and I look forward to a long and mutually beneficial relationship with APE as both the organization and I continue to grow in this amazing sport."
In addition to being featured in The Huffington Post, ESPN and The New York Daily News, Jamie has started his own website that follows his eating adventures along with a strong Facebook and Twitter presence.

Asheville Poetry Review of Rodeo for the SheepishWednesday, December 1st, 2010
Ellyn Maybe. Rodeo for the Sheepish. Hen House Studios, 2010. $15. By J. W. Bonner
Rodeo for the Sheepish takes this listener back to the heady delights of the caffeinated conversations of grad school, referencing midnight movies and sharing passages from dog-eared paperbacks. The woman declaiming these poems with a defiant and radiant lilt takes all of life's insults and disappointments and transforms them into songs which turn life on its head, creating a world that allows for possibilities belied by facts.
The music on the cd has a lite hip hop, r&b, jazzy beat. The background singers and music (keyboards, percussion, saxophone, trombone) weave in and around Maybe's spoken words/lyrics. The voice and chorus and music sound fully integrated. Maybe's lyrics are filled with longings for connections: with art, books, movies, people. Sexual yearning lies underneath many of the pieces, but above the body and sexual persona exists the artistic persona. One song/poem, "Being an Artist," has one of the most emphatic rhythmic percussive breaks in any of the songs, something along the lines of African drumming, and the lines near the end of the poem suggest that the artist is inhabited by the Muse, her soul thieved as in Invasion of the Body Snatchers: "Being an artist / is an active verb / a noun / a consonant / an adjective in a world full of chaotic life sentences." The pun of the last line makes clear that only the artist is truly free in this world; the rest are incarcerated in the routines of mass life.
Wry, emotional honesty underlies these poems. Whether spoofing with female sexual identity as defined by women (as opposed to definitions imposed by society) or playing with the dualities of mind and body, Maybe does not hold back on truths. One song acknowledges that "it's not easy being a woman who knows the difference between / Gene Kelly and Gene Krupa. Miles Davis and Miles Traveled. / I know how men make women wear armor of all kinds." Here's the cat-call from the city street, a man yelling (still) at the 40-year-old, "Hey Mars Girl, get off the Earth." There's humor in the phrase, but there's a sting in the phrasing.
Ellyn Maybe gives any number of shout-outs to influences and pleasures. She's a fan of the Go-Go's, Peggy Lee, the Supremes, B-52s, Henry Miller, Kubrick, Truffaut, Leonard Cohen, and others. How many times does one find Truffaut rhymed with 400 Blows? Leonard Cohen, in fact, is mentioned in two of the poem/songs. One poem is titled "Sylvia Plath"; another, "Picasso." These references populate each song, serving as check points for the audience—a hipster gauge. Music, film, books evoke personal identity, as when Annie Ernaux writes in Simple Passion, "the cultural standards governing emotion which have influenced me since childhood (Gone with the Wind, Phedre or the songs of Edith Piaf) are just as decisive as the Oedipus complex.
" Music's got the power, in Maybe's pantheon, and reverting to the origins of poem and music potentially doubles the poetic weight with the listener. (Others are pushing into these waters: Jeffery Beam and Asheville Poetry Review's own Keith Flynn, among many.) Maybe corrals those made sheepish by the masses of society, lassoes the insults, and rides the herd, unable to be bucked by life, "as if she had a fly paper ass."
J. W. Bonner reviews regularly for Asheville Poetry Review. He is working on a manuscript about the Sixties, examining more specifically the #1 AM radio hits of 1969. He teaches in the Humanities Department at Asheville School.

Ellyn Maybe on Nights At The Sound Table Tonight @ 7:30pm!Wednesday, November 10th, 2010
Mike Stark Says: One of the shows we're doing LIVE every Wednesday night from the LA Radio Studio is "Nights At The Sound Table". We will be doing our 31st show this coming Wednesday and in case you haven't already checked out the program I wanted to invite you to give it a listen. In a world where there is talk radio and music radio, this show is a rarity in that it is a "talk show about music". Our panelists, most of the time are just music fans, but occasionally we throw in a person of "note" to mix it up a little. Last week we featured John Spiker from Tenacious D and Trainwreck and this week we're honored to have on our panel – world renown poet Ellyn Maybe. The show is hosted by Filmmaker, writer and music enthusiast, Kevin Poore and I produce the show. The way the show works is that Kevin throws out a "musical question" to the panelists and the chaos ensues. Two examples of the questions you'll hear this week on the show are:

I waited about 15-20 minutes past my appointment time - which really only worried me at the time because I had my dog in the car and I didn't want to keep her in there much longer than an hour as I had arrived apx 15 minutes early. I find that I am not connecting super well with my chosen doctor yet, but I'm keeping an open mind.

text: >>"A person who acquires Yoga siddhis is not necessarily a good guru." >Who is a good Guru? I would like to know how you certify a Guru as Good, >bad and neutral - both Yogic and otherwise. Anbuji, This is indeed the case. One can attain yoga siddhis without having the necessary Jnana. Such guru-s are charismatic and can perform things like healing or removing afflictions etc but they necessarily cannot lead one towards brahma Jnana. On the other hand there are teachers who are vidvAn-s without the yogic siddhi-s and they may be able to guide one towards the final Jnana. The tAntrika scholar abhinavagupta says that if one has to choose between a teacher who is a yoga-siddha and a teacher who is a jnAni (in this context a jnani is one who is well versed in the vast shaiva lore), it is always wise to choose the later. What I say above is in the tAntrika context >I fully agree with Sri Vidyasankar Sundaresan's points. I would like to add one more: a >person with true yoga siddhi will not come out in the open to state that he has the power. Not necessarily. There are a few yogi-s with true siddhi-s who display them without being shy. But such display is not that common. In a good number of cases the display will often lead to downfall..just like we are a witnessing one now... >"A person who acquires Yoga siddhis is not necessarily a good guru." --- On Sun, 3/21/10, Anbu sivam2 <anbesivam2 at gmail.com> wrote: From: Anbu sivam2 <anbesivam2 at gmail.com> Subject: Re: [Advaita-l] Swami Nithyananda To: "A discussion group for Advaita Vedanta" <advaita-l at lists.advaita-vedanta.org> Date: Sunday, March 21, 2010, 9:55 AM "A person who acquires Yoga siddhis is not necessarily a good guru."

BWW Reviews: 'SOUTH PACIFIC' at the Huron Country Playhouse
I'm in love with a wonderful show...
Rodgers and Hammerstein's classic musical SOUTH PACIFIC (book by Hammerstein and Joshua Logan) is currently playing at Drayton Entertainment's Huron Country Playhouse in Grand Bend, Ontario, under the direction (and choreography) of Michael Litchefeld and it is an absolute delight!
A radiant and delightful Chilina Kennedy plays ensign Nellie Forbush, a cheerfully naïve navy nurse, based in the South Pacific during the Second World War. While there, she quickly falls for an enigmatic Frenchman-Emile de Becque, played by the incredibly talented Branch Fields. As a subplot, Lietenant Joseph Cable, (played by the charming Liam Tobin) falls for a young Tonkinese woman (played by Genevieve Sermonia). The future of both couples is threatened by prejudice, and the influence it has on both Nellie and Lieutenant Cable. Mr. Tobin's performance of the very smart "You've Got to be Carefully Taught" really drills home the commentary about prejudice that the writers clearly had in mind when they wrote this show back in 1949. The relationships are further threatened by military action that both de Becque and Cable become involved in. Despite these dramatic elements, this show is also full of light-hearted and comedic moments, as well as a beautiful score, featuring classic Rodgers and Hammerstein music such as "Some Enchanted Evening", I'm Gonna Wash that Man right out of my Hair", "Cockeyed Optimist", "Younger than Springtime", "Honey Bun", etc.
There has always been a fascinating dichotomy between the saccharine nature of some dialogue and lyrics in this show, and the biting commentary that also exists throughout. Similarly, the imagery of beautiful places such as de Becque's estate, and the island of Bali Ha'i are constantly contrasted with the knowledge of the war going on all around these characters. It really sends home the message that beneath the surface-no matter how beautiful the surface is...there is something ugly that needs to be addressed. The cast and creative team of this production are able to articulate this message about prejudice, tolerance, and acceptance beautifully. This does not feel like a dated message. It certainly remains relevant and universal to this day.
Ms. Kennedy shines in this production, she dazzles with each musical number she performs, and she subtly develops Nellie's story arc in a way that allows her to become wiser and more mature as the show progresses. Some highlights include her performances of "I'm in Love with a Wonderful Guy" and the crowd pleaser, "Honey Bun"-with the hysterical Salvatore Scozzari as Luther Billis, as well as the rest of the fantastic ensemble. Her scenes with Mr. FIELDS and with his character's children are also very memorable.
The entire company is very strong from start to finish. Susan Dunsten as 'Bloody Mary' is hilarious, with a voice to boot, the aforementioned Ms. Sermonia as her daughter, Tiat graces the stage with her dancing skills; Brian McKay as Captain Bracket and David Snelgrove as Commander Harbison are very believeable as Navy officers in this trying time, and Belle LeMieux-Chan and Tate Yap are adorable as de Becque's children. The ensemble of: Andrew Broderick, Vanessa Cobham, Michael Donals, Jessica Horn, Anna Hurshman, Judy Kovacs, Melaney Mcinenly, Matthew Rossoff, Patrick Stiles, and Christopher Wilson bring this classic production to life to great effect through their song and dance abilities. The small band (under the direction of Steve Thomas) must also be acknowledged, as they truly do justice to these beloved tunes!
The audience of all ages appeared to enjoy this show thoroughly. Call me a cockeyed optimist, but I suspect that just about everyone will leave the theatre whistling one of the many beautiful songs!
SOUTH PACIFIC runs until June 21st at Drayton Entertainment's Huron Country Playhouse in Grand Bend.

We all know how useful social networks like Facebook and LinkedIn can be. Many of us are affiliated to specific groups within these networks, which help us to be productive, be it a project group for communication, or an interest group to learn more about your industry. What these social networks don't really offer is a secure place to share files or have discussions about sensitive information. This could be, for example, information about a client in a legal dispute or confidential information about a financial deal.
While it is helpful to be referred to the right people on a professional social network like LinkedIn, businesses clearly need a secure, enterprise social network for having such conversations and sharing files, so they and the people they engage with can be assured that no information will be leaked.
This week Legal Futures featured an article on legal network, HighStreetLawyer (HSL) who worked in partnership with Workshare to develop its own secure enterprise social network where members can connect with others in the group to gain access to expertize from other lawyers. Lawyers use the network to discuss issues and find solutions for their clients. This has been a great opportunity for them to maximize their skill pool so that they can give their clients a range of different services and expertize that smaller and medium sized firms are normally unable to provide – helping them to compete against the large legal firms.

The Penis: Advice For The Less Endowed
With a combination of stimulation and foreplay, a man with small penis can make any lady go wild. An average erect penis can be six inches; if you are one of the men out there that fall short of this statistic, you might be concerned about your dimension in relation to your sexual performance. Although it is correct that size has its benefits, it is not length that matters, it is width. Most ladies do not like having their cervices rammed into and this is what happens with men who are too endowed. Nothing is sexy about intercourse that hurts and this is what many women complain about if a guy has a large penis. The following tips on foreplay and penetration is going to give any woman a lot of pleasure regardless of your small size.
Before you make your entrance, engage in foreplay. A man that has a small manhood should take advantage of this. By prolonging foreplay until your partner is completely aroused and closer to orgasm, the easier it is going to be for her to climax. You should spend quality time stimulating her clitoris. You can do this via manual stimulation or orally until she climaxes at least one time before penetration.
When doggie style is performed at a good angle, a small penis can feel quite large. It is essential that you place her in a position that allows her to put her head and shoulders on the pillow as her bottom is raised in the air. Her back should be arched and her thighs tightly drawn together. This is not only an easy style but also the most popular. During penetration, try to lead forward and maintain a lot of physical contact.
Another position is to lay your girl on her back, spread her thighs and then draw her legs up until her knees are closer to her ears. Place a pillow under her bottom so that her vagina will be at an angle suitable for this position. As you will be penetrating, she is going to feel as though you are filling her vagina fully. Once intercourse becomes wild, you should support her knees using your arms so that she can be comfortable. This is also an ideal style for her to masturbate. Encourage her to slip her hand between her legs to stimulate her clitoris as you will be rocking her world from inside.

Further to the news we brought you that this was on its way, Fujifilm has now officially announced the launch of a "groundbreaking" new imaging technology, the "FinePix Real 3D System".
Launching as the world's first three dimensional digital imaging system without the need for special 3D glasses, the FinePix Real 3D system is made up of a 3D digital camera, the FinePix Real 3D W1, a 3D picture viewer, the FinePix Real 3D V1, and 3D prints.
The Real 3D W1 camera features two Fujinon lenses, a 3x optical zoom, two CCD sensors and a 3D/2D 2.8-inch LCD that Fujifilm says lets you see "beautiful, natural 3D images with the naked eye". The camera is capable of capturing 3D video as well as stills.
Features include 3D "Interval Shooting" will let users take two shots from different viewpoints continuously while the photographer is moving, for example by train or car to achieve 3D images of long-distance views that can then be manually adjusted via the "Parallax Control" function.
The twin lens design also means new features in 2D, such as dual capture, "Tele+Wide Shooting" to take a close-up photo of the subject and, at the same time, a photo with a wider span and "Colour Mode" Dual Shooting that snaps the same scene in different tones while the same can be done with different exposures as well.
As well as Fujifilm offering 3D prints with special lenticular sheets, the company will also offer a 3D photo viewer to support the camera in the form of the V1. This is an 8-inch LCD display that takes SD cards, has a USB port and will boast wireless transfer too for 3D as well as 2D slideshows.
The FinePix Real 3D W1 and FinePix Real 3D V1 will be available from September 2009. Fujifilm says pricing will be announced nearer to the date of the launch. We will keep you posted.
