Lord Kalki
Sri kalki avatar is the tenth and final Maha Avatar (great incarnation) of Vishnu who will come to end the present age of darkness and destruction known as Kali Yuga. The Kalki Avatar is supposed to be the most powerful among all the Dasavathars. What makes it more intriguing is that incarnation has not yet taken place, a fact that adds to its enigma !
The earliest reference to the Kalki Avatar is found in the India's great epic, the Mahabharat. Rishi Markandeya tells Yudhishtir, the seniormost Pandava, that Kalki will be born to Brahmin parents. He would excel in academics, sports and warfare, and thus become a very intelligent and powerful young man.
His arrival is stipulated at a time when the earth is engulfed in crisis because of a tyrannical and powerful ruler. Kalki Bhagwan is said to be mounted on a strikingly beautiful White Horse, and is most often picturised in the foreground of a dark sky. This symbolises his coming at a time when darkness (evil) is the order of the day, and he is the saviour to rid the world of its sufferings. This is similar to the Parashuram avatar, where Lord Vishnu killed the atrocious Kshatriya rulers.
The Kalki Avatar is the most eagerly awaited one, more so because it will signify the cleansing of the world from all its sorrows that have been accumulated for many millennia. He is to arrive at the end of Kalyug, the dark age, and will mark the beginning of the Sat Yug. According to calculations, there are still many years left for that to happen (The Kalyug extends for a period of 432000 years, and it has just started – 5000 years ago). When we have such advanced military technology today, it will be interesting to see (though we may not, unless we do not manage to attain salvation by then, and are still caught in the rebirth cycle) what kind of weapons Kalki Avatar utilises.
It is also said that Kalki avtar will come, when all the three rivers Saraswati, Yamuna and Ganga return to heavens ( dried).
Saraswati has already been dead, Yamuna is dying, but Ganga is still at her youth. By the end of Kaliyuga, the Ganges will also dry and then will come the Kalki avtar.
The Kalki Purana writes details about events believed by Hindus to occur in the future. The work is essentially a derivation of passages collected from various Puranas describing the same subject. The work primarily describes the onset and exponential increase of evil and sin on the earth during the Kali Yuga, and the life of Kalki, who is said to bring an end to the darkness of the Kali Yuga, destroying evil and sin, and beginning a new yuga (age) of sinlessness and peace known as the Satya Yuga.
Lord Vishnu comes to earth in the home of Sumati,the wife of the Brahmin Vishnuyasha. Kalki will be born on "a bright fortnight of the lunar month of Vaishakha, on the twelfth lunar tithi (Dvadashi)," and his childhood will be in the mystical kingdom of Shambhala. After the Chiranjeevin immortals gather in Shambhala, Kalki will begin martial training under Guru Parashurama.
The Padma Purana (6.242.8-12) states that Vishnuyasha is actually an incarnation of Svayambhuva Manu, who performed great austerities to have the Lord as his child. He received the benediction that the Lord will appear as his son three times. Thus Svayambhuva Manu appears as Dasaratha (father of Rama), Vasudeva (father of Krishna) and finally as Vishnuyasha (father of Kalki).
So,This period, which started about 500 [(1486–1534)] years ago with the appearance of Chaitanya Mahaprabhu, will last for 10,000 years. It is said that in this period the influences of the Kali yuga will be counteracted by the pure devotees of the Lord. Their weapon will be the nama-sankirtana or devotional chanting of the name, and with this they will reverse the influences of Kali yuga !

A piebald ball python is a snake of the species Python regius that has wide areas of white coloring interspersed with usual levels of pigmentation. The head and body nearest the head are usually unaffected. The piebald pattern is genetically recessive.Continue Reading
The piebald pattern resembles the ringer color pattern, but piebald snakes have much more white on their bodies than ringers. Most snakes with the ringer pattern have a small white spot on their bellies over their kidneys; at most, they have a ring of white. The piebald pattern is also much more random. Other than not affecting the head and forward portion of the snake, the spots can be in any location and be of any size. The pattern affects the colored areas somewhat, producing paired stripes of dark pigment in the colored areas, rather than the usual light keyhole spots.Learn more about Snakes

For once, it isn't what the Supreme Court said that's making news — but what it didn't say. After weeks of speculation, the justices surprised everyone by sidestepping what most people thought was a sure thing: a hearing on state marriage laws. What was supposed to be the biggest political hot potato of Chief Justice John Roberts's 10th year was instead left in the laps of the appeals courts, where both sides continue to slug it out over state sovereignty and the rule of law.
As usual, there was no explanation for the Court's decision, which will have an immediate impact on at least five states — Virginia, Indiana, Wisconsin, Oklahoma, and Utah — where "weddings" had been on hold in hopes the justices would intervene. While the Left races to spin the news as a victory for its cause, the reality is that today's announcement doesn't mean that the justices would rule against marriage. What it does show is that the Court is hesitant to jump into the fray and impose a Roe v. Wade-type decision on a nation still sharply divided on the issue.
Trending: The Astonishing Failures of Al Gore's Arctic Prophecies
If liberals should be anything, it's worried. When it comes to marriage, time is not on their side. Deep down, the Left knows it needed the Court to force same-sex "marriage" on America before more people saw the fallout for Christians like Aaron and Melissa Klein. Or sportscasters like Craig James. Or CEOs like Brandon Eich. Ask them if same-sex "marriage" is just about two people who love each other. For them, it was about losing their business, their livelihood, and their freedom.
If the Supreme Court thinks America isn't ready for same-sex "marriage," they're right. As more states are forced to recognize it, people will see the ensuing attacks on religious freedom. They'll feel the wedge driven between parents and their children when school curriculum is changed to contradict the morals moms and dads are teaching at home. They'll shudder as more people lose their jobs because they refuse to celebrate (not just tolerate) same-sex "marriage." Maybe then they'll realize that the true goal is not about the marriage altar — but fundamentally altering society.
As disappointing as the Supreme Court's silence is, the good news is that the debate over same-sex "marriage" will continue. With 92 cases on marriage flooding the courts, conservatives have a chance to push back and demand that Congress step in where SCOTUS has not. By refusing to get involved in a mess it helped create, the justices are leaving our laws vulnerable to rogue judges on the lower courts. With the exception of one district court, the benches have been filled with black-robed tyrants who insist on substituting their radical ideology for history, legal precedent, and the consensus of voters and the law.
That has to stop. And the only way to do it is putting the ball back in Congress's court. When it comes to judicial meddling, members of the House and Senate have just as much stake in upholding the rule of law as anyone. At its core, this debate is about far more than marriage. It's about the fundamental value of self-governance and the constitutional right of people, through their elected officials, to decide marriage policy. And the people (of whom the government is "of," "by," and "for") aren't exactly tripping over themselves to jump on the courts' runaway train for redefining marriage. Support for the Left's cause is dropping significantly — from 54% to 49% — according to Pew Forum's latest poll.
For Republicans, this is exactly the momentum they need to push Rep. Randy Weber's (R-Texas) and Sen. Ted Cruz's (R-Texas) State Marriage Defense Act, introduced to protect voters from the judicial chaos that suggests marriage laws (or any laws!) are fair game. Under the House and Senate bills, the government could no longer barge in to states and stomp all over their marriage amendments. Instead of undermining state laws, the federal government would be bound by them.
If the Supreme Court won't move on marriage, Congress must. Contact your representative and senators. Ask them to sign on to the State Marriage Defense Act — and help put an end to Government of the courts, by the courts, and for

Christmas on the high seas
British rowing teams competing in a cross-Atlantic challenge have been spending Christmas on the high seas.
Among them are a Dorset sailor, James Kayll and a polo player born and bred in Wiltshire, James Glasson.
The Atlantic Challenge sees the teams row more than 3,000 nautical miles across the world's second largest ocean, the Atlantic.
Rowers will head west from San Sebastian in La Gomera to Nelson's Dockyard English Harbour, Antigua
Once they leave the safety of the harbour they'll be on their own, on the vast ocean and at the mercy of the elements, until the race comes into its final stretch.
James Kayll is a captain with the Light Dragoons and is competing in the Row2Recovery team along with two servicemen who lost limbs on active duty. The team are rowing for, among others, Help For Heroes.
James wrote in his blog on Christmas Day:
James Glasson is rowing for the Atlantic Polo Team, who is raising money for charities including Brooke, the international animal welfare charity and Right to Play.
On Day 21 Row To Recovery currently lie in second place and Atlantic Polo are in third place.

The 17 Most delicious Asian McDonald's menu items that you have to try
I'm sure you're aware that there are thousands of McDonald's around the world, and they all sell different menu items.

13. McRice Burger (The Philippines)
It's burger or chicken patty served between sticky rice patties!
12. Chocolate Orange Pie (Througout Asia)
Forget the apple pie, in Asia you can get a chocolate and orange pie for dessert!
11. McD Chicken Porridge (Malaysia)
It's obviously a porridge with chicken!
10. Bacon Potato Pie (Japan)
For all the mashed potato lovers! Mashed potatoes with cheese and bacon are stuffed into a deep fried pie.
9. Cheese Katsu Burger (Japan)

This item includes a delicious looking fried shrimp patty, with lettuce and thousand island dressing.
6. The Korokke Burger (Japan)
This one is so tempting! On a bed of cabbage rests a fried potato patty covered in teriyaki sauce! #CarbFest2013
5. The McPork (Japan)
This one has the cutest name! It's a burger, but with a grilled sausage patty coated in sweet and sour sauce with lettuce.
4. The Carbonara Chicken Sandwich (Japan)
This one's got scrambled eggs piled on top of a white cream sauce coated chicken breast with bacon and cheese.
3. The German Sausage Chicken Sandwich (Japan)
There's cheese, a fried chicken thigh patty with a slice of grilled pork sausage under it resting on a bed of mustard and sauerkraut.
2. The Mega Sausage (Japan)
This is a morning menu item! It's a giant sausage on a tiny bun with relish and ketchup.
1. The Chicken Cheese Fondue Sandwich (Japan)
The chicken breast was dipped into cheese, hence the "fondue" name and topped with lettuce, bacon and another slice of cheese.

Between 1933 and 1941, the Nazis sought to make Germany judenrein (cleansed of Jews) by making life so difficult for the approximately 600,000 German Jews that they would be forced to leave the country. By 1938, about 150,000 German Jews, one in four, had already left. After Germany annexed Austria in March 1938, an additional 185,000 Jews were brought under Nazi rule. Many German and Austrian Jews who wanted to leave were unable to find countries willing to take them in. A substantial percentage tried to go to the United States but were unable to obtain the necessary immigration visas. The US Congress had established immigration quotas in 1924 that limited the number of immigrants and discriminated against groups considered racially and ethnically undesirable.
President Franklin D. Roosevelt, responding to mounting political pressure, called for an international conference to facilitate the emigration of refugees from Germany and Austria, and to establish an international organization to work for an overall solution to the refugee problem. In early July 1938, delegates from 32 countries met at the French resort of Evian on Lake Geneva. Roosevelt chose Myron C. Taylor, a businessman and close friend, to represent the US at the conference. During the nine-day meeting, delegate after delegate rose to express sympathy for the refugees. But most countries, including the United States and Britain, offered excuses for not letting in more refugees. Only the Dominican Republic agreed to accept additional refugees.
The conference attendees created the Intergovernmental Committee on Refugees (ICR), charged with approaching "the governments of the countries of refuge with a view to developing opportunities for permanent settlement" and seeking to persuade Germany to cooperate in establishing "conditions of orderly emigration." The ICR received little authority and virtually no funds or other support from its member nations. Its achievements were minimal until September 1939 when the beginning of World War II largely ended all efforts.
Commenting on the Evian Conference, the German government was able to state how "astounding" it was that foreign countries criticized Germany for its treatment of the Jews, yet none of them opened their doors. Although the events of the violent Kristallnacht ("Night of Broken Glass") pogroms of November 1938 were widely reported in graphic detail, Americans remained reluctant to welcome Jewish refugees and the quotas remained in place. Even efforts by some Americans to rescue children failed: the Wagner-Rogers Bill, an effort to admit 20,000 endangered Jewish refugee children, was not supported by the Senate in 1939 and 1940.
Widespread racial prejudices among Americans—including antisemitic attitudes held by US State Department officials—played a part in the failure to admit more refugees. In the midst of the Great Depression, many Americans also believed that refugees would compete with them for jobs and overburden social programs set up to assist the needy.

Housing plan for Winchester's Barton Farm given go-ahead
A property development company has been given the go-ahead to build 2,000 homes near Winchester.
Cala Homes has wanted to build the homes on the 230-acre site at Barton Farm for 14 years.
Communities Secretary Eric Pickles approved the plans. He had turned them down but reconsidered when the firm took its case to the Appeal Court.
Winchester and Chandler's Ford MP Steve Brine described the decision as "bitterly disappointing".
"Cala Homes have very deep pockets and have relentlessly pursued Winchester over many years until they got what they wanted," the Conservative MP said.
Mr Brine said the development would make the city a "less comfortable place" to live.
'Overtaken by events'
"We will get used to it, and not too many years from now we'll no doubt struggle to remember how it looked before, but a special piece of the landscape setting of Winchester will be gone forever."
Robert Millar, group land director of Cala, said: "Local people will benefit greatly from this decision.
"It will be a major contributor to stimulating the local economy and creating long-term jobs."
Residents have always objected to the plans, saying the city's roads, schools and services could not cope with so many new homes.
Keith Wood, leader of Winchester City Council, said said: "We argued strongly about the application, but we have been overtaken by events.
"The council now needs to ensure that the development of this site generates all the promised benefits to the community."
Of the 2,000 homes, some 800 will be social housing for people on the city council waiting list.

|This paper examines how costly financial contracting and weak investor protection influence the cross-border operational, financing and investment decisions of firms. We develop a model in which product developers can play a useful role in monitoring the deployment of their technology abroad. The analysis demonstrates that when firms want to exploit technologies abroad, multinational firm (MNC) activity and foreign direct investment (FDI) flows arise endogenously when monitoring is nonverifiable and financial frictions exist. The mechanism generating MNC activity is not the risk of technological expropriation by local partners but the demands of external funders who require MNC participation to ensure value maximization by local entrepreneurs. The model demonstrates that weak investor protections limit the scale of multinational firm activity, increase the reliance on FDI flows and alter the decision to deploy technology through FDI as opposed to arm's length technology transfers. Several distinctive predictions for the impact of weak investor protection on MNC activity and FDI flows are tested and confirmed using firm-level data.

The blame train continues its journey. First the democrats blamed racist angry whites for Clinton's loss. But it turns out white's preference for the R over the D candidate was statistically no different in this election than in those of recent memory. Indeed Clinton lost ground among blacks and Hispanics against the putatively "racist" Trump. Next came the "fake news" canard which suggested that overtly absurd "news" stories with limited ideological appeal somehow swayed the decision making process of those completely unplugged from the inside baseball of politics. Now the latest attempt at diverting blame for Hillary's historic loss is the narrative that Russia tried to influence the outcome of the election by "helping" Trump by exposing to the public the sordid underbelly of the DNC and their candidate. The source of this narrative? None other than the CIA. You know, the folks that brought us "trust us, there really are weapons of mass destruction in Iraq.
Is this fake news?
The Democratic Party is a peddler of envy … So it should come as no surprise that the party itself is practicing this mantra in their own affairs. Hillary Clinton's loss is not her fault. No, it's (now) the fault of "fake news," the Russians, or misogynistic women. Apparently "fake news" is the latest epidemic to sweep the nation, although oddly enough it was on no one's radar until after the election. Funny that.
The mere fact that secession is on the table as an option is further proof of the failure of the constitution (or rather the failure of men to be bound by it). The principals of federalism embodied in that document gave most power to the states with only a narrow set of enumerated powers granted to the federal government. Were that still the case no one would even care who the president was.
Donald Trump may turn out to be the best thing ever for this country. In less than a week after the election he has managed to rouse the question-authority left from their deep slumber. Apparently Obama's actual abuses of presidential power (secret kill lists) and continued prosecution of the morally bankrupt war on drugs and futilely destructive war on terror were A-Okay, but straw-men based fears of what Trump could do (even though having never uttered a word on such subjects e.g. gay marriage) is more than sufficient to goad them into action once again. Sorry if I have no sympathy for their outrage if droning children in foreign lands strikes no passion in their heart but a 0.0001% risk of not getting to use the bathroom of their choice does. As they say, first world problems.
Trump's big-league greatness will come from his capacity to get growing numbers of people to see the presidency and by extension much of government for what it is: a joke.
Phantom Menace
People ultimately vote their pocket book, which is why it was not a wave of "white racism" that elected Trump (indeed he carried less of the white vote than Romney and the same as Bush) but rather economic self-interest. Yes, Trump is a boorish loudmouth, but people don't care as long as they think he's the most likely to improve their lot. Do you poll your plumber about his relationships with women or do you just want him to fix your toilet? I'm not hiring Donald Trump to teach manners or to babysit my kids. People voted for Trump not because of the things he said, but in spite of them. That takes real courage.
Trust, but Verify
By the time you read this the election will have been decided. No matter who won, the Earth will continue to rotate on its axis and life will go on without nary a concern over the grand egoists in Washington (or Atlanta) who would presume to be our guardians. And that is as it should be. Children require guardians; adults do not.
Party of Choice?
There was a moment in the recent third presidential debate where Hillary Clinton sounded downright libertarian in her rhetoric. She said: "I can tell you the government has no business in the decisions that [people] make … And I will stand up for that right." The original quote referenced "women" rather than "people" but I think it's safe to assume Hillary would consider women to be people. The "decision" under discussion here is abortion. Oddly this seems to be the only individual right the left is willing to defend against government intrusion. Indeed, the refrain of "my body, my choice" is reserved exclusively to abortion but not to say prostitution or recreational drugs.
Just vote "NO"
Georgia residents will see four ballot initiatives in the upcoming November 8 election. When in doubt you should almost always vote "NO" on any constitution changing ballot initiative. The overwhelming tendency is for government power to expand as personal freedom declines – and ballot initiatives generally reflect this reality.
Actions Trump Words
I'm certainly no Trump fan, but the level of hypocrisy and cognitive dissonance of the Clinton campaign is breathtaking. So when Bill Clinton came under fire with decades old charges of sexual assault, well that was just part of a vast right wing conspiracy to smear his good name and obviously had no impact on his ability to govern. However, when Donald Trump is the target of similar charges (although Trump barely made it to first base whereas Clinton made several home runs) from years gone by, well that is an obvious reason to disqualify him from the Presidency…So it seems the general rule in politics is this: if my candidate does X that's no big deal, but if the opposition does X then that instantly disqualifies them from holding office.
Pot, meet Kettle
Who here would voluntarily pay more income tax? Anyone? Now be careful and think hard here, after all taxes help support so many aspects of society (roads, schools, welfare, defense, science, economic expansion, etc.) that benefit everyone wouldn't it be selfish to not do all you could do? Sure the government says you can deduct your mortgage interest, property taxes, and other expenses, but should you? Wouldn't it be more patriotic to forgo those deductions so that you can more fully participate in the community of this great nation?
If this sounds both familiar and ridiculous at the same time there is a reason for that. The whole message of taking part in the common good of taxation is directly from the statist's propaganda playbook. The ploy is to guilt you into compliance: if you are opposed to taxation you must also be against all those things taxes fund, right? So while we are instinctively "for" the things taxes fund, we each individually endeavor to keep our share of that obligation to a minimum. A tragedy of the commons in which we extract from the tax pot as much as we can (concentrated benefits of special interests) while limiting what we put in that pot. This tragedy of the commons is nowhere more apparent than in the hypocrisy of ideologues like Clinton who claim the "wealthy" aren't paying their "fair share" all the while she and her ilk are none to happy to take advantage for themselves every wrinkle in the tax code that allows them to limit their tax liability. Pot, meet kettle.

Professor Ewart Ray Herbert Jones, F.R.S.
16 March 1911 – 7 May 2002
Ewart Ray Herbert Jones (ERH) was born in the village of Rhostyllen, near Wrexham, in a narrow strip of land between Wat's and Offa's dykes, names that conjure memories of past conflicts. From the front bedroom of his house he looked on the main Great Western Railway from Paddington to Birkenhead and at the huge bank of Bersham Colliery. The village was served by an electric tramway, on which Ewart travelled to the Victoria Boys Primary School in Wrexham from the age of five, having spent a brief period in the infants school in Rhostyllen. His father also used the tram regularly, to the extent that the driver, if Mr Jones was not at his regular stop, would stop at his house and ring the bell to seek an explanation for his absence. Such was personal service in those distant days!
From these early experiences of industry, coal and railway, Ewart developed an interest in science, especially how things worked and the origins of different substances, for example, the town gas which lit his house and nearby streets. His imagination was also stimulated when he and other boys ventured, doubtless without authority, near to coalpit machinery, such as the engines of the pump room and the winding gear above the shafts. As he notes in his recollections, in his early days the processes of technology were easy to visualise; these were the days before the mysterious 'black boxes'.
In Victoria Boys School classes were about 50 pupils, the brightest sitting at the front. Nearly all teachers were women until men returned from WWI in 1919; most unusually for those days two of the teachers were married women. Quite remarkably for junior schools of that era, and largely true for modern primary schools, Victoria was well-equipped with chemistry apparatus, often used, not retained as museum specimens. So, at the age of 10, Ewart observed simple experiments such as the production of carbon dioxide from marble chips and that it turned limewater milky, as did human breath. He also observed the production of oxygen from potassium chlorate and manganese dioxide. With this early experience it is little wonder that Ewart's academic path would be in chemistry.
Success at the 11+ examination, but not sufficiently well to win a scholarship, enabled Ewart to enter Grove Park County School for Boys in Wrexham in 1922. In general terms, the biggest shock to him in the secondary school was to be taught wholly by men, most of whom had fought in the Great War. The military associations were very much in evidence, with several teachers initially being known by their military rank. The science teaching was greatly assisted by the provision of well-designed and equipped laboratories including a tiered lecture theatre. In his last year Ewart gave a lecture in this theatre on Electrons and X-rays; his demonstration depended on equipment borrowed from a science company and the local hospital. Chemistry and physics were strong in the school, but biology was non-existent; botany was provided in the neighbouring Grove Park Girls School.
After gaining a scholarship at 18+ Ewart became a university student at Bangor, ultimately choosing chemistry as his main pursuit. He graduated with first-class honours in 1932 and a diploma in Education in 1933, the latter indicating an intention (or insurance) to go into school teaching. But he was invited to do research on a two-year studentship of £100 a year. He gained his Ph.D in 1936 and, despite having an assured place at Oxford, he joined Professor I.M. Heilbron, F.R.S., at Manchester. Thus began a life-long professional association that proved very fruitful in pioneering developments in organic chemistry, the discipline that focuses on natural materials, all containing carbon, often in association with hydrogen. Together they moved to Imperial College, London from where Heilbron was seconded to war work, thus leaving Ewart at a young age virtually in charge of the department from 1941 to 1945. Ewart's indifferent health did not enable him to undertake formal military work, but he became heavily involved in the Gas Identification Services, advising on poisonous gases.
When the war ended many scientists returned to their posts, after secondment to war service, and university departments began to rebuild. The time was appropriate for ERH to seek leadership positions outside Imperial College and independently of Heilbron. In 1947, at the age of only 36, he was appointed Professor of Organic Chemistry at Manchester, a position of great distinction. One of his supporters described him as "quite first-class and growing steadily in stature". In his new position he revealed rare skill as a leader of his team, always giving encouragement to others to make their mark; the years were very productive. In addition ERH showed himself to be adept as an administrator knowledgeable in and committed to general university procedures.
Reaction scheme of the 'Jones oxidation'an organic reaction for the oxidation of primary and secondary alcoholsto carboxylic acids and ketones, respectively;named after its discoverer, Ewart Jones
With the Manchester department in good shape he was persuaded to take up the challenge of reviving the Dyson Perrins Chemistry Laboratory in Oxford University; he started in the Waynflete Chair in February 1955. This was no mean challenge because of the generally poor condition of the laboratories and of teaching and research programmes. He remained in Oxford for the rest of his career, retiring in 1978. He gave unstintingly of his time to promote chemistry as a career and as a field of interest to the general public. He served on numerous committees, including ones for advising the government of the day, not least for the promotion of links between chemistry in academia and industry. He held many position of distinction such as the first president of the Royal Society of Chemistry. In addition to his initial degrees of B.Sc and Ph.D from the University of Wales, he received a host of honorary awards of various organisations. For the excellence of his academic work he was elected a Fellow of the Royal society in 1950 and for his managerial and general service he was knighted in 1963.
It is possible to gain an insight into the nature of his academic work by quoting from notes that he made of conversations with his portrait painter.
Life is essentially organic chemistry made possible by billions of organic compounds both in us and everywhere in the living world. We seek to know what they are, why they are there and how they are made and operate.
Grass and seaweed are green with chlorophyll, which absorbs light and enables plants to convert carbon dioxide from the air into plant building materials. Blood is red with haemoglobin which absorbs oxygen from the air in our lungs and distributes it around our bodies.
An example that has always fascinated me is cholesterol and its role in heart disease; at first it was identified as a constituent of gallstones but came to be recognised as a vital factor in the functioning of nervous tissue, especially the brain and spinal chord. I have always been excited by research into natural products, the discovery of vitamins A and vitamin D, a compound of plant growth in cabbage, the oil in the peel of limes and finding a route to the important steroid cortisone.

Here's Why You Should Double Down on Stocks in 2015
With almost six years of strong stock growth in the rearview window, it's only natural to wonder about a looming slowdown. Today's bull market is one of the longest in history, after all.
But many savvy observers are convinced the market will grow even faster in 2015. Despite that six-year run, valuations don't appear particularly unreasonable, thanks in part to strong earnings.
The state of the U.S. economy also appears quite promising, due to job growth and rising Gross Domestic Product (GDP) figures.
David Kostin, a strategist with Goldman Sachs, has issued a 2100 price target for the 2015 S&P 500. He believes a growing U.S. economy and increased corporate sales and investment herald good news for investors.
Kostin isn't alone in his rosy projections. Merrill Lynch equity strategist Savita Subramanian recently predicted the S&P will hit 2200. Other analysts have predicted the number could perhaps push 2300.
The last half of December has certainly primed the pump for a powerful 2015. The S&P is significantly outperforming almost everyone's projections, up around 12-percent for 2014.
Two sectors are at the forefront of this surge: health care and utilities. Both are up well more than 20-percent.
Will they continue that surprising growth? That's not a given. Utilities have benefited from rock bottom interest rates. When rates spike, it's likely their performance will lag.
Defensive stocks in general may soon fall out of vogue, as the economy continues to recover and approaches three-percent annual GDP growth. A higher growth environment means cyclical stocks should be primed for strong returns.
With GDP rising almost four-percent in the last quarter, a breakthrough could be imminent.
Flies in the ointment
If most market analysts predict sustained growth, it's time to double down on stocks, right? That's probably a smart idea -- but let's dicuss some potential hurdles first.
There are a few variables that could slow down this bull market's six-year run. Foremost among them are interest rates. Analysts have been waiting for years to see how the market reacts to a move by the Federal Reserve to hike rates. The Fed has signaled such a move could happen in mid-to-late 2015.
One caveat: Rates were also expected to rise last year, so an increase isn't set in stone. While a rate hike is likely, its effects may be mitigated by other factors. Higher currency valuation could tamp down inflation. Cheap oil could also offset much of the impact created by higher rates.
Past history is also a useful guide. The Fed has generally gone out of its way to spur market growth. Fed officials are likely to telegraph any move far in advance, and any increase will likely be small.
Finally, any increase in rates will likely emerge in a favorable economic environment. With corporate profits soaring, capital investment and more job growth could follow. All of which means more expensive borrowing costs aren't likely to pour cold water on market growth.
A question of oil
With oil prices plummeting to stunning lows in recent weeks, it's been a challenge for analysts and investors to keep pace with the repercussions. The S&P has suffered some setbacks as a result of energy sector uncertainty.
Those setbacks have been fleeting, however. The S&P as a whole has surged while the price of oil dropped like a stone.
That may seem counterintuitive. But falling oil prices are in many ways a net positive for the U.S. economy.
Should energy costs continue to decline, investors will likely reap significant rewards in 2015. Though Fed Chair Janet Yellen has said she expects low oil prices to be temporary, it will likely take considerable time before prices recover.
That may be small comfort if you work in the Texas oil industry. On whole, it's good news for U.S. businesses and investors.
There's also a chance, albeit small, that the Fed declines to raise rates should oil prices fail to recover. The U.S. economy is driven by consumers, so cheap oil could be the fuel that leads to supercharged stock growth in 2015.
So where should you invest to take advantage of low oil prices? Market strategist John Stolzfus of Oppenheimer suggests consumer discretionary stocks. Trouble in the energy sector could also spark a run of mergers and acquisitions, something for any savvy investor to keep an eye on.
Betting on a bull
There are a variety of reasons to invest aggressively in 2015. Wider economic trends look promising. Job growth has picked up. Cheap oil may be a boon for business. Valuations are still attractive. The U.S. dollar is strong.
On the flip side, likely interest rate hikes and the uncertainty of the oil market could prove troublesome. On the whole, however, 2015 is shaping up to be another strong year in an historic bull run -- and a great environment in which to buy stock.

Box.net announced an update to its Box.net for iPad app today, and it's one that could make you leave behind your laptop come your next off-site meeting or business trip.
In fact, four new features join the iOS app for in-the-cloud business collaboration. The first is single sign-on, a convenience that allows you to log in once to connect Box, Google Apps, and PingFederate. Next, there's now iPad locking and auto-locking to add an extra security layer to Box's app.
Third, tapping a button in the top right corner of the app pulls up an air-printing option, which gets your documents inked on Air Print-compatible printers. Finally, using a dock connector-to-VGA Adapter (approximately $30) gets you video-out, an asked-for feature that lets you run videos, presentations, and documents from the iPad.
Box also has plenty of plans going forward, like giving the app the power to create and upload new content--it's view-only for now--and improving its IT admin controls to the iPad, so companies can remove access to Box.net if the iPad is lost or stolen. Box.net is also building up its platform tools to release its APIs to developers.

We think, the answer is 'yes', especially if on top of handling your daily routines and doing millions of other things with the help of your mobile phone, you can't imagine spending even an hour without your favorite casino games. The good news is there are Bitcoin casinos that have that box ticked for you. Here on BitcoinCasino.info you will find reviews of world's top BTC gambling portals, many of which offer their casino games, video slots, online dice and other gaming services to be played on mobile devices via Bitcoin mobile casino clients.
That would be a question requiring lots of searching, reading, comparing and other not-so-entertaining work to find the answer to, especially if our website did not exist. Yet, we are there for you, and you did yourself a great favor by selecting our Bitcoin casino guide from hundreds of other more or less relevant results shown to you by your search engine. Our mission is to monitor the vastness of the Internet in search of the best gambling solutions and possibilities for you. For an obvious reason, Bitcoin mobile casino sites fall within the scope of our (and, presumably, your) interests.
It's just so incredible how online Bitcoin casinos accessible on mobile devices can change the way you spend your free time. You can be hundreds and thousands miles away from home and your good old PC or Mac you got used to so much, but that won't be a problem at all if there is a playable mobile version or client offered by your preferred BTC casino(s) and/or sportsbook(s).
Certainly, the final word in terms of which casino's mobile version to prefer rests with you. Though our task may be providing you with input data in the form of Bitcoin mobile casino reviews, and by this means indirectly guiding you and giving advice, you're still absolutely free to choose the one that meets your needs and views the best. But while you may have a different understanding of looks and design (after all, beauty is in the eye of the beholder), functionality is what we concern and know about the most. Another crucial issue is the variety of games available on mobile devices. It may probably come as a surprise for some of our players that many gambling portals have a very limited choice of Bitcoin mobile casino games, contrastingly to their desktop or even tablet versions. But with us, it should not be a problem for you really.
We will carefully bring you through tons of unnecessary stuff on the Internet you may unexpectedly find yourself stuck into, at least that is exactly what our constantly updated 'Bitcoin Mobile Casino' section is meant for. Here, you fill find lots of the most recent data on the most in-demand bitcoin mobile casino sites existing: the most recent mobile gambling review, news, insider tips, hints, descriptions, brief guides etc. We have been accumulating this useful material you may find highly helpful for some time already, and we promise we will be bringing you more and more.
In case you haven't found your best mobile casino site yet, definitely pay attention to Bitcoin alternatives we have been offering so far. Most mobile versions of Bitcoin casinos are available for iOS- and/or Android-based mobile devices only, either as downloadable clients/applications or in browser mode. So if you have an Apple smartphone or one of the Android phones (the newer the better), your range of options is much wider.

Speaking about the options, when trying various Bitcoin mobile casinos, sportsbooks and poker apps you will undoubtedly notice that some of them are full-featured, i.e. are no different in functionality from the desktop/laptop version, while others are somehow less usable and offer less options. Such difference may be caused by the fact that casino operators invest incomparable amounts of funds into development of casino-related applications and extra functions. As we already mentioned above, quite similar is the situation with the choice of Bitcoin games available. Your favorite BTC gambling websites may be offering several dozens or hundreds of highly entertaining casino games and HD slots each in their full browser version, while the functionality of the Bitcoin mobile casinos of the same brands may be limited to just several games from the initial selections, in the worst scenario also with limited set of options.
With our help you will be able to access the mobile versions of the most advanced Bitcoin casinos, sportsbooks, poker rooms and other gambling portals, with their teams doing all their best to offer you as complete selection of games and mobile entertainment activities as possible. It will be a real pleasure for you to play the vivid casino games you love so much on your mobile phone, and, apparently, it will be more than just staggering to try the best Bitcoin mobile casinos, if you have never done it before.
Remember, we are always there for you to make your gambling sensations full-bodied and positively unforgettable. Having discovered Bitcoin mobile games once, you are very likely to prefer them to any other gambling and betting activity. For our part, we tried to leave no stone unturned on BitcoinCasino.info, just to make your stay here maximally fruitful, educational end enjoyable. Go grab your handy!

Winners or losers, the political campaign buttons Baron Desnick wears always generate a conversation.
``Adlai Stevenson, our next president,`` says one.
``Nixon`s for farmers,`` says another.
``All the way with LBJ,`` says a third.
``My name is Jimmy Carter . . . I`m running for president,`` says a green one.
In all, Desnick, a Delray Beach-area resident, has 275 political buttons he insures for $11,000, some stretching back to 1896 and the McKinley-Roosevelt presidential team. His hobby has gained him notoriety.
``People will see me from the back, that I have my jacket on, and walk around to see what I am wearing,`` said Desnick, who lives at Villages of Oriole nine months a year.
People won`t have to look for Desnick to come out of his condominium this month, however, because the county library on West Atlantic Avenue is showcasing his political buttons.
A retired pharmacist from Minnesota who still lives in the Minneapolis-St. Paul area for three months a year, Desnick, 69, began collecting buttons approximately 20 years ago.
``I`ve always been interested in politics,`` said Desnick.
So when his wife would go to antique stores or shows in search of porcelain- backed mirrors and beer steins, he would tag along and find political buttons to buy. Soon, a collection was born, encased in plastic coin holders and filed in looseleaf books.
``The most valuable button in modern times is (Harry) Truman. There were very few of them printed,`` Desnick said. A 1948 Truman button fetches $25 to $30, he said.

About the News Bureau
University of Missouri News Bureau (573-882-6211) staff members serve as liaisons between the University and the international, national, state and local news media. The primary role of the News Bureau is to tell the Mizzou story worldwide in terms of teaching, research, service and economic development.
News Bureau staff members serve as official institutional spokespersons and also assist students, faculty and staff who have information to disseminate about the University or who are approached by reporters. In this role, the News Bureau reflects the MU administration's philosophy that public, land-grant universities have an obligation to keep the public informed about services, activities and resources available to them and to respond to any questions or concerns. (The state of Missouri provides 22 percent of MU's annual budget.) News Bureau staff help reporters gather requested information and provide them with updated information regarding their news stories.
Whenever possible, News Bureau staff members prefer and will work to put reporters in touch with the administrator, faculty or staff member who has the most knowledge about a story. (Sometimes immediate contact is not possible because of calendar commitments and travel schedules.) For reasons of efficiency, reporters often contact the News Bureau initially with their requests; the staff then work as quickly as possible to identify the best source(s) and facilitate a response. MU administration and News Bureau staff encourage employees to talk with reporters, except when advised not to do so by legal counsel. Usually when legal counsel advises that no comment be given, it is because of personnel or litigation issues.
When a University administrator, faculty member or staff member prefers not to talk directly to reporters, News Bureau staff will provide that service, although the News Bureau encourages direct contact with the source in person, by phone or by email. For immediate assistance, faculty, staff and administrators may call the News Bureau at 573-882-6211.
News Bureau staff meet regularly with faculty, department chairs and administration to identify stories that have statewide and national potential for distribution. In addition, they coordinate with communications staff at the MU Health System, MU Extension and Intercollegiate Athletics when appropriate. News Bureau staff members also assist MU colleges and schools with pitching local stories and events on campus.
News Bureau Successes
Last year, the News Bureau used 371 media tools, such as news releases and media advisories, and received more than 16,000 media placements.
A recent study from the Center for a Public Anthropology ranked Mizzou No. 27 out of 94 research universities for the number of media citations received about their research compared to the amount of public grant funding received. The purpose of the rankings is to tout universities that promote practical research results back to the public that funds their research.
Mizzou's ranking of No. 27 places it third in the SEC and ahead of elite research universities such as Columbia, Yale, Northwestern and Stanford.
The rankings analyzed the number of media placements each university received for research from five different departments: anthropology, economics, political science, psychology and sociology.
These rankings show a direct correlation between research promotion through the MU News Bureau and higher rates of media citations. The MU News Bureau always is willing to work with MU faculty to promote to the media the practical implications of their published research.

From East Longmeadow, Massachusetts, USA:
My nine year old daughter was diagnosed with type 1, three years ago. She experiences low blood sugars almost once daily. At this time, she exhibits few symptoms, even with a blood sugar as low as 30 mg/dl [1.6 mmol/L]. At some point, can we expect that she may develop seizures with blood sugars that are low? Is her body just able to tolerate low blood sugars well?
You should try to figure out what symptoms she may have. She may need some specific teaching sessions with the nurse and/or doctor to learn how to recognize hypoglycemia. Not everyone is able to recognize lows, so frequent testing will be important. Whether or not she has severe hypoglycemia, that is seizures or loss of consciousness, is difficult to assess. Overnight monitoring would also be important periodically to be sure that she is also not sleeping through hypoglycemia without waking up. You should go back and discuss this with your diabetes team and follow their advice once the blood glucose readings are reviewed. Efforts to decrease hypoglycemia would be useful, to include the use of Lantus instead of NPH, often helps, as does an insulin pump. Both Lantus and insulin pumps provide smoother and more predictable insulin compared to multiple injection doses and thus allow better day to day counterbalancing for many patients.

We Are About Relationships
If you have children in your household or if you work with children on a regular basis—or, heck, if you happen to bump into a child this week—then you know the big news: Halloween is this Friday! Kids are planning their costumes, talking about their favorite candies and looking forward to all the parties. In my family, we're down to only one trick-or-treater, but she's had her costume for several weeks now. And thanks to our church's Trunk-or-Treat tradition, she'll be able to wear her costume twice and get twice as much candy!
Halloween in a huge festival in our culture. Did you know that $1.9 billion worth of candy is sold in the United States at Halloween? (That's not counting all those healthy neighbors who give out apples and raisins.) But in all the hubbub around Halloween, we sometimes forget how the festival came into being.
The candy and costumes get all of our attention, but the truth is that there is another, older celebration—an actual "holy day"—that Christians have celebrated on November 1 for hundreds of years: All Saints Day. The name "Halloween" comes from "All Hallows Eve," but for many years it was All Saints Day that got more attention. Even today in many cultures, November 1 is celebrated much more than Halloween as families gather to worship and to visit the gravesides of loved ones.
All Saints Day is a holy day, one that invites the church into a special time of reflection and remembrance. In our congregation we celebrate All Saints Sunday on the first Sunday of November every year. We name aloud those members of our congregation who have passed away in the past year, and we thank God for their lives and ministry among us. And we are reminded that, when we gather for worship as the people of God, we are surrounded by what the writer of Hebrews calls "a great cloud of witnesses," saints of every age and time who have gone before us.
So, All Saints is a time to remember the believers who have gone before us. But there's more. All Saints is also a time to remember that we are called to be saints. Here and now. I know, most of us balk at that idea. We would never claim the word "saints" for ourselves. "To be a saint," we tell ourselves, "you have to be really, really good. Holy. Almost perfect. I know my flaws and my sins all too well. I could never be a saint."
But if you go back to some of the Apostle Paul's letters, he is constantly calling people "saints." He addresses 2 Corinthians "To the church of God that is in Corinth, including all the saints throughout Achaia." He calls the Philippians "saints in Christ Jesus." He addresses his letter to the Romans to "all God's beloved in Rome, who are called to be saints." And in the final words of the Bible, John of Patmos pronounces this benediction: "May the grace of Jesus Christ be with all the saints."
That's you and me. We are called to be saints. We are saints. Not because we are perfect or holy. Not because we do all the right things. Not because we come to church and go to Bible study and tithe and serve food to the hungry. No, we are saints because Jesus Christ has saved us. We are saints because God loves us. We are saints because we are forgiven and redeemed people.
So, in case no one has ever told you before, you are a saint! It is a name given to you by a loving a gracious God. May each of us do all we can to embrace the name and grow into it every day. Happy All Saints Day!

If some member does not understand an aspect of your team's design, the entire team may be docked studio credit. It is not necessary that all decisions be made with unanimity, but the issues that influece the design one way or the other must be understood by all members of your team.
The examples from lecture are included in your studio repository
For example, instead of representing a given account using an integer, an actual object Account was defined. Similarly, an integer suffices to hold color information for a pixel, but a Color class (type) was defined to provide reliable functionality and to hide details of the implementation (encapsulation).
public void f(int x1, int y1, int x2, int y2) {...}It is easy to forget the order in which the integers must be passed to f. To avoid such chaos and to make the program more readable, articulate a Point object that has an x and y coordinate. The method then becomes
public void f(Point p1, Point p2) {... }
Recall eclipse can generate those for you automatically.It is customary to base the name of such methods consistently on the name of the associated instance variable:
public Person getPerson() { return person; } public void setPerson(Person person) { this.person = person; }
When you done with this studio, you must be cleared by the TA to receive credit.
