Adventure Time Reviews: Season 1 - Episode 1300:00
Title: City Of Thieves
Key Characters: Finn, Jake, Penny
Main Plot: Finn and Jake are going about their business when they stumble across some sort of dome. A Hag appears and tells the boys that it is the city of thieves and anyone who enters it becomes a thief eventually. The boys hear the cry of a small girl named Penny who tells the boys that some thieves stole here flower basket a wouldn't give it back. The boys eventually enter the city of thieves to try and retain the basket but the object keeps changing hands as the thieves keep stealing it from each other. Penny tells Finn of the King Thief who steals from little girls and hide the stolen items in his tower which is guarded by a gate which doesn't allow thieves to enter. Finn is able to pass through the barrier but Jake cannot because he could not resist stealing a pair of shiny red boots. Finn picks up a chest the Penny told him ti get but she isn't as she seems...
This episode of Adventure Time is pretty standard to be fair, not amazing but not bad. This episode was the last to be shown before Cartoon Network changed their logo on the 29th of May 2010. When Finn opens the treasure chest of the King Thief one of the objects he has stolen appears to be a Nintendo Gameboy, a lovely reference to retro gaming. The snail in this episode appears as an inprint on Jake's belly.
Favourite Quote: Jake: "We wanna turn your frown...all the way around."
Penny: "Ahh!"
Rating: 6/10

We have countless state-of-the-art conveniences and labour saving tools available to all of us, it's very easy to overlook just how frail the structure of civilization truly is. A number of social analysts have pointed out that we are no more than three days removed from revolution, three healthy meals from chaos or nine square meals from anarchy. It's tempting to dismiss this as scare-mongering, but if you assess the activities in the aftermath of Hurricane Katrina, you will most likely be a lot more inclined to take it very seriously.
The day after Katrina hit the first looting was noted. Two days after the hurricane, police officers were ordered to end search and rescue activity in order to concentrate on dealing with groups of violent looters. Inside of just three days, criminals were shooting at medical workers and patients using sniper rifles. In summary, society fell apart in as little time as three brief days.
Putting together your emergency food supply is most likely quite a bit simpler than you may think. You can add items to it a little at a time if you want to - or you can buy ready made packages which contain all the things you really need in a convenient canister. You can even do both - begin with a ready made food kit to get off to a rapid start and after that add in additional choices of your own later to prolong your survival abilities.
Any product with a lengthy shelf life and which doesn't need refrigerated storage is a suitable candidate for inclusion. Opt for foodstuffs that you and your family generally eat - but go with canned variants, or jars. Do not forget to add a few treats as well, most especially if you have young kids. You may need a quick energy boost during the course of an emergency situation, and chocolate and candy is as effective a source as any.
Emergency Food Kits
If you are involved in an emergency which leads to a power interruption, you may still have the capacity to cook, or just heat up, your meals. If you are able to get outside, a bbq or gas camping stove could provide you with the wherewithal to get hot meals. Even compact propane stoves should not be used indoors however; they will most certainly constitute a fire risk. Do exercise more than a little caution if using food which was in your freezer or refrigerator prior to any power interruption. After this food has been at room temperature for even a couple of hours, bacteria will form and thrive remarkably quickly. If you are in the slightest doubt, do not consume food from an unpowered refrigerator or freezer. Make the most of your long life emergency food kit instead. That's what it's there for.
There are many different circumstances which can bring about a shortage of food. Terrorism is a continuous concern for many individuals, but adverse weather is a more matter-of-fact, yet every bit as devastating possibility. It seems to be that "unusual" weather events are becoming more normal and commonplace than before. Part of the problem is that, apart from triggering food shortfalls because of panic buying, adverse weather events can oftentimes make it far more challenging to restock in the aftermath of the crisis. Road and rail systems may be running at much reduced operational effectiveness.
There might also be power supply failures, something which may be particularly troublesome in winter conditions. The net effect is to magnify and prolong the timescale of any crisis.
Communicating with the outside world in the course of an emergency scenario may well be more difficult than you think. If energy connections are down, your different communication gadgets will quickly run out of battery power and cease to function. Even when you do have power in your cellular phone, you might find that network connection isn't readily available. Standby battery chargers are a good idea. They are compact, lightweight and affordable - as well as very easy to use. However, when there is no cellular network available, an emergency radio is an ideal standby device. You can acquire models which are battery powered, and there are also hand crank operated versions obtainable. A good emergency radio will let you keep updated with weather forecasts and guidance from the emergency services.
Putting together an emergency food kit for your family members is not a hard thing to do - and you might be grateful that you did it if disaster does strike. Assemble non-perishable food which does not demand chilled storage and which has an extended life span. Tinned goods and food preserved in jars are good choices. You should opt for the sorts of food that you customarily enjoy, but in tins or jars. A good blend of meats, fruit, vegetables, pasta and cereals will assist you and your family to get through any emergency in the most effective manner possible. Cereal bars, candy and chocolate bars are additional outstanding sources of energy when demanded.
You will also need to have water and other drinking materials, such as powdered milk for example. You should aim for one gallon of water for each person daily. Fifty percent of that will be used for drinking, and the remainder will be required for preparing food and washing.

Marvin Gaye (1939-1984) was an American soul singer and songwriter. He was a pillar of the classic Motown sound with hit singles like "How Sweet It Is (To Be Loved By You)" and "I Heard It Through the Grapevine." He later separated from his production company and recorded some of his most acclaimed work, including the albums What's Going On and Let's Get It On. Gaye was tragically shot dead by his father in April 1984. His legacy is that of one of the most influential R&B singers in American history.
"To be an artist is a blessing and a privilege. Artists must never betray their true hearts. Artists must look beneath the surface and show that there is more to this world than what meets the eye."

This week I've tried to give you some insights into how a simple-to-execute e-book strategy can fund your life overseas.
Since I started producing e-books more than 14 years ago, they've created an income that has allowed me to live some of the very biggest dreams of my life.
That income has taken me to Laurenzana, a small village in the ankle of the boot of Italy, where my mother's family comes from.
And you know, I'll be honest—when you have money, travel can be even more fun than usual. It's amazing what a concierge will do for you! I've secured invites to VIP New Year's Eve celebrations in Prague, Barcelona, Paris, and many other beautiful places… One of those was on a yacht on the River Thames in London…sitting under Big Ben when it stroked midnight bringing in the New Year.
And there are countless other people who have used this strategy to realize their dreams as well.
Mike Geary hated his corporate job and was desperately looking for an alternative source of income so he could indulge his desire to ski and travel. His passion for personal fitness led him to the creation of a fitness information e-book called The Truth About Six-Pack Abs.
Over the last seven years, his e-book has sold more than 500,000 copies at $40 each. More importantly, he uses this proven secret strategy to generate a seven-figure income—every month.
This has helped him realize his dream. He travels at least 10 to 15 days every month, doing such fun things as heli-skiing in Chile…zip lining in Costa Rica…dry-suit scuba diving in the Silfra Ravine in Iceland…and tropical scuba diving throughout the Caribbean.
What Mike and I and others have learned is that the e-book has one of the very lowest barriers to achieving a passive income today.
You don't need any technical skills. Converting manuscripts to e-book format is easily done by outsourcers for as little as $5—and they are inexpensive to produce, even when you outsource everything, including the research and writing.
But the biggest reason why the barriers are low for e-books is because the potential audiences for your work are already in place. They are easily accessible using Amazon, Apple, Barnes & Noble, and other retailers. It's not a question of "if you build it, they will come." They're already there, waiting for the information that you can provide them in return for solid royalty checks every month.
At this point you probably have one big question that you're looking for the answer to: "I know this has worked for others, but will it work for me?"
You'll find the answer to that, and your other questions, in this short video I've prepared for you. And it could deliver dreams that today seem beyond your imagination and provide you with a solid royalty check every month.

Adds Skilled Trades Staffing to Leverage Existing Relationships With Clients
Adds Skilled Trades Staffing to Leverage Existing Relationships With Clients
ATLANTA, GA--(Marketwired - Jan 20, 2015) - Labor SMART, Inc. (OTCBB: LTNC) (the "Company"), a leader in providing on-demand blue collar staffing primarily in the southeastern United States, is pleased to announce its launch of a new business unit, Skill Corps, Inc., to provide skilled trades staffing, such as mechanical, renewable energies, and construction tradesmen.

We believe this unit will scale very nicely with our current client base and is scalable on a national level in a very short period of time. Once a successful launch has been completed in the southeast, it is our intention to grow Skill Corps to a nationwide presence via an online platform that we will present to our stakeholders in the near future."

1. If you were to swim in a pool of anything, what would it be full of?
Stuffed animals!
2. Do monsters sleep under your bed? If so, can I pet them?
Monsters are under there, but they don't sleep. And they sure make a mess! Pet them if you dare. You can take one home if you like!
3. I'm drawing a picture of you writing, what does your facial expression look like?
Depends on the scene, but probably smirking – I crack myself up all the time =)
4. Honesty time! Empty your purse and tell me what's in it!
Too much to list. Here's a pic (it looks like my purse puked...)
5. I've a big fake tattoo for you, what is it and where can I stick it on ya?
A mermaid, definitely – on my arm. Watch me make her swim! (Brainstorm! This gives me a promotion idea - fake tattoo sleeves with book covers on it - I'm totally looking into that!)
Vaughn appeared in the moonlight reeking of beer. He'd no idea how pungent the smell was till the dog sniffed him and fell over. When Freda his little sister jumped out of the berry bushes beside him screaming, "Caught ya! Mom, he's been drinking again!" he almost had an accident. Vaughn, now shaken with rage, grabbed a shovel to scare her. "Don't you ever, and I mean ever, do that again!" "I was only trying to help," she said, tears spilling. "Besides, Mom's not even home, yet." So much for playing hide and go seek the six pack in the dark. Next time, I'll bring some Axe to cover up the smell. THE END!!

Gabe is an average fifteen-year-old goblin. He's in the marching band, breezes through calculus, and gets picked on daily by the other kids at school, especially the ogres. But Gabe wants to break out of his nerdy stereotype and try other things. He has his eye on the new ogress at school. Though it's against all beastly rules, there's just something about her.
Gabe starts a fad of mingling with other species, forcing the High Council to step in and ruin things by threatening to destroy the school and split up Broken Branch Falls. With help from other outcast friends, Gabe sets out on a quest to save his town. They'll show 'em what different friends can do together!
*NOTE: Anyone who calls me "woman" is an automatic 10 in my pimpbook! I love me some sass!*

On March 29, 1848, a massive ice jam reduced the mighty Niagara Falls to a trickle, a rare phenomenon that lasted for nearly 40 hours.
The ice jam developed as strong winds blew chunks of ice from Lake Erie into the Niagara River's entrance near Buffalo, blocking the flow of water to Niagara Falls.
Residents first noticed the eerie silence of barely any water rushing over Niagara Falls during the evening of March 29.
In the hours that followed, a report from the New York State Assembly states that people were able to retrieve guns, bayonets and tomahawks -- all artifacts from the War of 1812 -- from the exposed river bed.
Some crew members of the famous "Maid of the Mist" used this time to blast away rocks that had created navigation hazards.
Nearby mills and factory machines, which used power generated from the Falls, had to be shut down.
Normalcy around Niagara Falls finally resumed during the night of March 31, when the ice jam broke free and water once again started roaring over the Falls.

This VRBO partner has demonstrated and is committed to fast response times, the best rates, and a great guest experience.
My wife and i met while students at UGA and both of our daughters met their husbands while they were students there as well. Now, we're preparing the next generation to carry on that great Bulldog tradition!
Charlie Brock purchased this condo in 2008
We've been season ticket holders for over 20 years and wanted a place to enjoy gameday weekends with our family. Stadium Village offered the combination of quality construction and convenient access to the campus, stadium and downtown that we wanted.
Honestly, I've stayed all over Athens over the years,from the never renovated bulldog inn to the newly renovated Holiday Inn. I would pick your condo every time over all of the other options. Gamedaysuites in my opinion is great, but way over priced. So this was perfect for us and another couple. I will certainly keep your information andwill be in touch again. The property was furnished very nicely. Thefirst thing I look for in a rental is "having the same convienencesas being at my house" Meaning comfortable furniture, bedding,adequate space and quality appliances and electronics. All of which weregreat at your place. I've spoke highly of your place to severalother friends and family. I will definitely be back again!
Great place for a weekend getaway! We were in Athens for the G-Day game. The condo is comfortable, well furnished and close to both downtown and the stadium. We will definitely stay there again on our next trip to Athens!
I evacuated (for the hurricane) last minute and stayed in this condo for 3 nights. The experience was wonderful. The process went smoothly and was easier than I expected. The owner (Mr. Brock) is amazing and repsponds very quickly to any and all inquiries that you may have. THE INSIDE OF UNIT IS EMACULATE!!! It was stocked with pots, dishes, seasonings, towels, etc. that you may need to make your stay comfortable. The surrounding neighbors were friendly and quiet. It was just myself and my daughter and we felt very safe. The owner was aware of the storm emergencies in our area and contacted us to see if we needed to extend our stay. The condo is very close to the UGA campus...so that was a plus! Overall, my stay was excellent and I will definitely book this unit again whenever I return to Athens.
We went to Athens for a game day weekend. The property was near the stadium, just a short drive away. The entire complex was very quiet. The interior appears to have new carpet recently. The bathroom and kitchen have been updated also. The master bed was comfortable. If you are picky about your pillows, you may want to bring your own as the pillows on the bed are memory foam. Very clean, quiet, easy to access. Rent with confidence.
A great location for attending a Georgia football game. Nice, clean condo. Easy directions to follow for check-in and check- out. Would definitely stay again.
Great condo in great location. I would highly recommend to others looking for a stay in Athens....
Very neat and clean. Everything was in good working order. Owner was responsive to messages sent via VRBO website in advance of our stay.

The Roosevelt Institute @ GW (RI@GW) is part of a national network of over 10,000 emerging leaders actively engaging on college campuses and in communities to re-imagine and re-write the rules. A student-led think tank and act tank, RI@GW engages students in solutions-based progressive activism that empowers their ideas for change.
Our chapter is based on six Policy and Advocacy Centers (PACs), including:
- Economic Development
- Education
- Energy and Environment
- Equal Justice
- International Affairs
- Public Health
We believe students can create policy change through the following process:
In the last two years, since our chapter's re-establishment in 2013, the chapter has:
- Trained 75+ students on policy brainstorming, writing, and/or organizing.
- Named "Best Chapter" (2015) and "Best New Chapter" (2014) in the wider Roosevelt Network because of focus on creating local policy change on GW's campus and in the wider DC community.
- Successfully lobbied for a GW impact investment in DC low-income neighborhoods through a deposit in community development banks, via the GW Bank on DC campaign.
- Supported successful local coalition efforts to raise the DC minimum wage and reduce employment discrimination for ex-offenders through ban the box legislation.
- Joined the DC Jobs with Justice coalition, as one of the only student organizations part of the association of social justice organizations in the city.
- Co-sponsored dozens of events and student campaigns, including co-convening the GW Ferguson Coalition to improve GW police-community relations.
- Published 57 policy memos and blog posts to highlight our members' ideas, including helping 11 members publish in national journals, the 10 Ideas series.
- Engaged hundreds of students in 14 Fireside Chat discussions on engaging topics.
- 80% of alumni of the network enter public service, continuing commitment to change.

This is another one of those novels that wasn't – honestly – what I expected. The rapid introduction of characters produces a mad dash for the reader to attempt figuring out their counterparts while realizing that some of the characters are part of how the author sees this story not how we may know it. What's most attractive about this story is its blend of contemporary and history. Anyone who prefers historical stories over the contemporary will find in this a potential kindred spirit in this unusually quirky novel – there is a ton of trivia thanks to the bantering about the Civil War between the two feuding historians, which for me became maybe a bit too monotonous (mainly because I went in expecting a light-hearted, easy-to-read contemporary) to be honest. That being said, the reason for this fits the story well and isn't just added for the sake of filling conversations.
Entertaining in the best sense, this Southern novel has all the right characteristics to work and it's one of those books that is about more than meets the eye!
Shelby Roswell, a Civil War historian and professor, is on the fast track to tenure, that is, until her new book is roasted by the famous historian Ransom Fielding in a national review. With her career stalled by a man she's never met, Shelby struggles to maintain her composure when she discovers that Fielding has taken a visiting professorship at her small Southern college.
Ransom Fielding is still struggling with his role in his wife's accidental death six years ago and is hoping that a year at Shelby's small college near his hometown of Oxford, Mississippi, will be a respite from the pressures of Ivy League academia. He never bargained for falling in love with the one woman whose career, and pride he injured, and who would do anything to make him leave.
When these two hot-headed southerners find themselves fighting over the centuries-old history of local battles and antebellum mansions, their small college is about to become a battlefield of Civil War proportions.
With familiar and relatable characters and wit to spare, Pride, Prejudice and Cheese Grits shows you that love can conquer all, especially when pride, prejudice, love, and cheese grits are involved! – Goodreads
Caroline Ashley is a journalist on the rise at The Washington Post until the sudden death of her father brings her back to Thorny Hollow to care for her mentally fragile mother and their aging antebellum home. The only respite from the eternal rotation of bridge club meetings and garden parties is her longtime friend, Brooks Elliott. A professor of journalism, Brooks is the voice of sanity and reason in the land of pink lemonade and triple layer coconut cakes. But when she meets a fascinating, charismatic young man on the cusp of a brand new industry, she ignores Brooks' misgivings and throws herself into the project.
Brooks struggles to reconcile his parents very bitter marriage with his father's devastating grief at the recent loss of his wife. Caroline is the only bright spot in the emotional wreckage of his family life. She's a friend and he's perfectly happy to keep her safely in that category. Marriage isn't for men like Brooks and they both know it, until a handsome newcomer wins her heart. Brooks discovers Caroline is much more than a friend, and always has been, but is it too late to win her back?
Featuring a colorful cast of southern belles, Civil War re-enactors, and good Christian women with spunk to spare, Emma, Mr. Knightley, and Chili-Slaw Dogs brings the modern American South to light in a way only a contemporary Jane Austen could have imagined. – via Goodreads, July 2014

CPA Practice Advisor, published Jan. 05, 2017, written by Isaac M. O'Bannon, managing editor:
Several key factors will have a large impact on nonprofit finance and accounting in 2017, including an increase in part-time and outsourced staffing to address personnel needs, shifts in the nature of funding due to political instability, clustering of services between nonprofits, an increase in the number of for-profit CFOs moving to nonprofits, and an ongoing need for greater technology efficiency. That's according to predictions from Abila, a provider of software and services to nonprofits, associations, and government entities.
"A number of factors are driving nonprofit finance and accounting trends going into 2017," said Andrew Payne, Abila's director of product marketing and product management. "The volatility of the economy, political instability, and greater demands on nonprofits will require a bit of rethinking and refocusing for many organizations going into the new year."
Key Nonprofit Accounting Predictions for 2017:
- Funding Instability: Funding instability will likely force a shift in the nature of funding, with more grantors looking to fund mobilization versus intervention (working to prevent issues instead of dealing with them after they've occurred). Many organizations will look to new or innovative ways of providing services, making changes based on data and analytics. In light of recent public statements, the potential is high for grant reductions for FY 2018 for some market segments.
- Structural Staffing Changes: Uncertainty around the Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA) overtime rule changes might drive nonprofit organizations (NPOs) to make structural changes to their workforce. To contain extra expense, many might convert salaried employees to hourly or look to part-time employees to fill staffing gaps. If the overtime rule changes are enforced, the Department of Labor (DOL) will likely pay close attention to the implementation of new overtime rules, and could even target two or three high-profile NPOs to encourage compliance within the sector. It will be imperative for organizations to monitor whether the overtime rule changes go into effect or not.
- Clustering: Many organizations will band together to share resources, overhead, and personnel to serve a common demographic. Many will focus on specialization in a particular area or service versus considering expansion.
- For-Profit CFOs Moving to Nonprofits: The number of for-profit candidates considering nonprofit jobs has risen 25 percent over the past year. With these personnel moves, organizations will likely be much more data- and ROI-driven, creating new business models and financial performance expectations at nonprofits.
- Greater Technological Efficiency: With the increase in complexity around processes and rule/regulation changes, many nonprofits will turn to technology to increase automation of high-volume, repetitive tasks. This will free up financial personnel to focus more acutely on addressing increasing complexities to ensure compliance. Additionally, ongoing cloud adoption will increase accessibility for nonprofit staff to work anytime from anywhere.
"2017 will be heavily influenced by uncertainty in both the political and economic climates," said Payne. "Organizations that will be successful are the ones paying attention to these trends, and making necessary adjustments to stay nimble and focused on delivering their mission."

Tell us about yourself—where did you/do you go to school, where are you from and what brought you to Peppercomm?
I went to New York University for college, where I majored in Economic Theory, while grabbing minors in Mathematics and Philosophy on the way. I'm originally from India, where I did my primary and secondary schooling before coming to The States to attend NYU. After graduating college, I realized I wanted an Internship that will help me gain some valuable real world experience, while still being fulfilling in the process. While fishing, I came across Peppercomm's Business Outcomes Internship, and I realized that it would be a great place to begin. I applied for the post, got called in for the interview, and here I am!
What area of the industry do you find the most appealing and why?
As an intern in the Business Outcomes Group, there isn't much difference in the sort of projects I am required to work on, industry-wise. However, in general, I am interested in the intersection between the technology and the financial sector. I believe that the finance industry's most interesting work is being done on behalf of the tech industry, which is forcing it to adapt and innovate as new kinds of technologies and products are entering (or desire to enter) the marketplace.
Any surprises or revelations about your role, the industry or Peppercomm?
I didn't really know much about PR prior to joining Peppercomm, so almost everything I learn about the industry comes as a surprise. However, I think the most interesting thing I've learnt is the importance of social media in managing companies' public images. I never thought about that prior to joining Peppercomm though I was being constantly bombarded by social media alerts/advertisements on the internet. I guess Peppercomm offers me a way of thinking about social media which I had never conceived of prior to coming here.
Where do you see yourself going in the industry?
I'm not really sure, your guess is as good as mine!

Ensures You're Up For The Occasion
You can pop one of those little blue pills when the moment is right…or you can get a boost the natural way. When it comes to keeping the blood flowing freely to the parts that need it most during sex, exercise is hard to beat. Whether it's a heart-pumping HIIT workout or fat-torching Tabata routine, vigorous physical activity will help keep the blood coursing through your veins when things start to heat up. And the better the flow, the better you'll grow.
Helps You Go The Distance
Good sex requires a good amount of physical effort. Running out of steam on your journey to the Promised Land is a sure way to kill the mood, and any future opportunities for a repeat performance. Prolonging the experience prolongs the physical pleasure for all involved; the better shape you're in, the longer you'll be able to perform like a champ between the sheets.

ALERT!!! The House passes a dangerous Anti legal immigration bill
It is called H.R. 4437 and would strip the courts of much of their remaining jurisdiction over immigration matters; gut the due process rights of aliens, permanent residents and United States citizens; expand expedited removal; broaden the definition of alien smuggling to include churches, employers, family members, and immigrant advocates; expand the definition of aggravated felony; create new grounds of deportability and inadmissibility; increase mandatory detention; militarize the border; and place limitations on eligibility for naturalization.
In addition, lawmakers approved a number of amendments during floor consideration of the measure, making the end product even more egregious than the initial base bill. Among these include:
# an amendment to eliminate the diversity visa lottery
# a manager's amendment that, among other things, eliminates judicial review of arbitrary denials of motions to reopen and makes misuse of passports or travel documents an aggravated felony even if committed by a refugee or a victim of domestic violence or trafficking
# an amendment giving state and local law enforcement officials the "inherent authority" to enforce civil immigration laws (the CLEAR Act revisited)
# an amendment withholding grant funds from state and local governments that maintain a policy of protecting the confidentiality of immigrants
# an amendment approving construction of more border fencing
# an amendment rendering a single DUI conviction a deportable offense
# an amendment vesting USCIS with law enforcement powers over certain investigations, and allowing the Office of Security and Investigations to engage in data-mining of DHS databases
# an amendment further increasing penalties for document fraud, crimes of violence and drug trafficking offenses
H.R. 4437 is a disappointing, disastrous measure for both immigrants and U.S. citizens alike, and AILA (www.aila.org) will be working closely with the Senate, once Congress reconvenes in January, to craft a reasoned and sensible approach to fixing our broken immigration system"an approach that offers an opportunity for success. H.R. 4437 offers no such opportunity.
In the meantime, use Contact Congress to send a letter to your Representative, either thanking him or her for voting against H.R. 4437, or expressing your disappointment for his or her vote in support of the measure. The vote tallies will be posted to Contact Congress soon.

Mesothelioma Clinical Trials
If you've been diagnosed with mesothelioma, clinical trials may provide a way for you to access new, innovative treatments that aren't yet available in other settings. All emerging therapies go through years of extensive testing before they're approved for use; once they're considered safe, clinical trials are conducted to evaluate their effectiveness. If a trial shows that a treatment is more effective than other comparable options, it may be approved for clinical use.
At Moffitt Cancer Center, we believe that clinical trials hold the key to a mesothelioma cure. Although no treatment has yet emerged as a definitive cure, every clinical trial brings us one step closer to that goal.
Thanks to our robust research program, we've identified a number of mesothelioma treatments that have helped our patients improve their quality of life. Many of our current trials focus on the following treatments:
- Immunotherapy
- Gene therapy
- Minimally invasive and robotic surgeries
- Targeted therapies
- Heated chemotherapy
In our Mesothelioma Research and Treatment Program, these trials are available alongside traditional treatments, such as radiation therapy and surgery. If you qualify for and choose to participate in a trial, you will do so under the supervision of our experienced oncologists. While you are enrolled in a trial, a multispecialty team will monitor your response to the treatment(s), making any necessary adjustments to your individualized treatment plan to ensure that you're receiving the maximum benefits with the fewest side effects.
To see if you are eligible for one of our mesothelioma clinical trials, call 1-888-MOFFITT or request an appointment online. No referral is required. We'll schedule you for an appointment with one our oncologists specializing in mesothelioma, who will review your diagnosis to determine whether you might benefit from participating in a clinical trial.

natures prime operative is progress, anti force being preservation
You say nature flows in the path of least resistance. Naturally, yes. But who said "God" is not what is natural? If all natural and unnatural things come from a God, them plants come as well. Even if you use "God" as the Christian one, God created all that is natural and human beings twisted his creation with the help of the "Devil".
Your claim is only true if you say God makes things that are out of nature/physics, which is contradicted by the Bible and even post-modern definitions of "God", like "he who makes the laws of physics". The whole discussion is flawed, though, because of the great amount of definitions that the word "God" can have.
a plant is not a concept
plants are, there is no need for some one to repair them because no one build the plants
natural is random, not specified, intent is specified
You said natural is random, not specified.
Life is not random. Life follows patterns, which are known as the laws of physics, chemistry, maths...
You can know plants are not entirely random because plants of the same species look the same. They have same attributes and characteristics as well. Natural is constructed randomly under well established laws through observation and experimentation. That said, it's random, following a specific set of rules. They can do anything as long as it's inside those rules.
What I'm saying is: it all depends on your concept of God. If a God is someone who makes the laws of science, then plants, being under laws of science, exist because of God's intent.
You also have to try to express yourself clearly. This is a communication and communications are two-ways based. You can't assume I will understand your message just by you saying random things. I contradicted your arguments and I want mine to be contradicted as well. Otherwise, it's not a debate, but an argument.
random is a pattern
math is not natural, math is mechanical, and math is only considered true based on reality or logic
creation and destruction is impossible in reality, matter=1=1=transformation
so science created plants if i believe it?
"random is a pattern"
Yes, the results of how your body looks and how plants grow are random WITHIN laws. I'm arguing that it's possible that those laws come from some sort of intent. You DID NOT answer my question about God. What's God for you?
"Math is not natural"
Maybe not. But we can understand how the world works with it. Thus, we can understand how nature works. Fibonacci, etc.
"Math is only considered true based on reality or logic"
What do you consider true? Isn't it true what is based on reality?
"creation and destruction is impossible in reality, matter=1=1=transformation"
True and False. In reality all we have is something being transformed into another thing, or an amount of things, etc. That said, things are being destroyed and created everytime. When something rises, something falls. It's the ultimate circle of life.
"so science created plants if i believe it?"
What the hell is your problem, man? I'm not saying science created plants. I'm saying plants follow a natural pattern which are based on laws of physics. Men did not "invent" laws of physics. These are known behaviors of the world we live in, based on experimentation and observation. Those LAWS are how we can know our world. I'm not saying science created plants. I'm saying nature, God, whatever you call it, operate under certain laws that makes the creation of plants possible.
yes, you cant figure much out about the world without thinking..
reality is true.. consideration is not true
make the matter that is an apple nothing, i dare you
creation=from nothing to something
nature is created or not
possibilities are false

This is a story
about a young man growing up in Los Angeles in the 1950s.
He was a bit strange for a Californian of that epoch. He of
course loved surfing, but he loved mathematics and physics
even more. His dream from a very young age was to go to university
and get a science degree. And that's what he did.
In 1960 he enrolled at University of California at Los
Angeles (UCLA). At that time (I imagine it is still the
case), in addition to their choosing a major, university students
were required to take so-called "cross curriculum"
classes in other disciplines. In particular, at UCLA everyone
was required to study a language.
This young man chose German because it was a language of science.
This was a mistake. Not only is German a very difficult language
compared to English, it is almost impossible to learn any
language if you are exposed to it only in the classroom. This
of course is the case in the United States, and in particular
at that time English was so dominate that outside the classroom
you would never hear German, or virtually any other language.
Spanish in California was of course an exception; however,
in the 1960s it was no where near as important as it is today.
the professor insisted that "Sie werden Deutsch
lernen!" (You will learn German), our young man
was not so certain. "Particle physics and differential
topology are not easy subjects, but German is impossible.
I spend more time and effort on this class and get less
out of it than any other class I have." The professor
of course was wrong. The young man didn't learn German,
and probably neither did anyone else. All he knew was
that he was extremely relieved when the course was finished.
"At last a language I
will actually be able to use!" the young man exulted.
So he really threw himself into it. He intensely studied every
aspect of Swahili, grammar, vocabulary, syntax, diction, idiomatic
expressions, etc. He was unquestionably the best student in
the class. When the volunteers got to Dar es Salaam, then
the Tanzanian capital, four of them were put on a train and
sent to posts in the middle of the country. At each stop,
vendors swarmed around the train to sell bananas, tangerines,
oranges and other local produce. With some difficulty, the
young man was able to speak to the vendors, but he couldn't
understand their replies.
One of the other members of the group had unquestionably been
the poorest Swahili student. At the end of the nine weeks,
she could barely say "hujambo" (hello), yet somehow
she understood what the vendors were saying. So the young
man would speak, the vendors would reply, she would translate,
and he would speak again. "But this makes no sense. How
can you understand them when I can't?" he asked. "I
don't know," she replied. "I guess I just listen
to what they are saying." Suddenly, he realized that
his approach to languages had been academic, not practical.
He was listening for conjugations, singulars and plurals,
inverted verbs and other grammatical constructs, but not to
what people were actually saying.
Once he recognized this, his progress was blindingly rapid.
Within a very few weeks, he found that he was no longer translating
through English. He was actually thinking and speaking directly
in Swahili.
"It was like being released from prison. I saw my cell
door swinging open and my mind being set free to fly out.
I could literally feel my brain expanding!" the young
man explains. He now lives in Belgium and has gone on to master
French, has a working knowledge of Dutch and German, and is
currently turning his attention to Spanish.
"You know," he says, "I used to be jealous
of people who learned other languages as a child, not as an
adult. But now I'm not so certain. I was 24 before I learned
a second language. It wasn't easy; in fact it was excruciatingly
difficult. However, I had an experience that people who grow
up speaking other languages cannot even begin to imagine.
Looking back on it, I don't think I would really want to change
I was that young man. I am no longer so young; all of this
happened more than 40 years ago. Having had four decades to
reflect on it, I am now convinced that this life-altering
experience firmly demonstrated two things. First, under the
proper circumstances, anyone can learn to speak other languages.
Having grown up in a country as big as a continent with a
single dominant language, I had fallen victim to the idea
that learning other languages required high intelligence and/or
special gifts. I am extremely happy to have discovered otherwise.
Secondly, I believe that the way languages are taught in the
U.S. is all wrong. The objective of teaching students to speak
the language is manifestly false. They won't, because in most
cases opportunities to use the language are lacking. Pursuing
this objective therefore only demoralizes students and turns
them against language learning per se. American educators
need to recognize that the best they can do is to acquaint
students with a language and lay a foundation for them to
rapidly start speaking it if they ever find themselves in
a place where the language is actually spoken.
Language courses should teach basic grammar passively, i.e.
so that students can easily recognize verb conjugations, singulars
and plurals, formal and familiar pronouns, etc., then concentrate
on helping students to comfortably read in the language, e.g.
newspapers, magazines, novels, etc. If students know how to
read a language, once they finish the course they might continue
reading it, thus keeping their knowledge grammar and vocabulary
fresh and ready to use should the opportunity ever arise.
Under current conditions, the moment they leave compulsory
language courses, most students immediately forget whatever
it is they might have learned, so everything is lost. My own
experience demonstrates the value of this approach. When I
had mastered Swahili -- and realized that I could master any
other language I wanted to -- I decided to try my hand at
French. With some effort, I taught myself to read French while
still living in Tanzania. When I returned to Los Angeles,
I continued reading newspapers, magazines, and novels in French,
so five years later when I moved to Belgium, I began speaking
it almost immediately.
I am currently doing the same thing with Spanish. I have essentially
no opportunity to speak Spanish in Belgium, but I now read
it almost fluently. I occasionally spend a week on vacation
to Spain. Each time I do, it takes only one or two days for
my mind to switch to Spanish mode, so that I can begin speaking.
Not fluently, but enough to get around. I am certain that
if I were to spend a month or so in Spain, I would rapidly
approach fluency.
