Beware, my question is long and absurd (mostly absurdly long), and I give quite poor explainations and have ugly drawings.Please excuse my sometimes bad English.
Take 2 exact worlds. Add 1000 random humans to each world, shake well so they are equally distributed over all continents.
Check how they are after, let's say, 1000 years.
Are they the same? If yes, of course there would be a margin of
exactness (consider one group recieved a super-genius and
the other didn't) but the evolvement of the two groups will probably
be the same.
Proof: if x1 roughly equals x2 and y1=y2
then (x1+y1) roughly equals (x2+y2)
This means that every group of factors in disbalance will restore complete balance after time.
This also means that one can write a formula for mankind.
It will be put together like this:
consider xm=male xf=female
xm+xf=n% chance on 0-20 xm/xf
(n=whether they will mate or not, if the xf will bear the child successfully or not, all those factors)
0-20 (0 is minimum possible kids for one xf, and I THINK (sorry girls if I'm wrong) that a woman can produce 20 kids if needed.
the outcoming chance of xm/xf is now presumed to be 1/2
Add the fact that people USUALLY get kids after 18 and before 40 years, USUALLY die in 60-80 years after birth, USUALLY have 1-3 kids , time factors of birth-becoming adult etc, and you have a formula which (with known elements such as availability of food, tech advance .....) can give you the idea of human population growtf/decrease rate.
Then, let's throw away all our friendly philanthropistic thoughts and be realistic.
| y
| .
| .
| .
| .
| .
|____________________________ x
x=intellegence rate in %
y=% of population
You see, higher intellegence=less people with that intellegence
Now consider that people with approximately equal intellegence rate would gang together, giving us several groups of people (ex: 25& dumb brutes, 40% averages, 25% intellectual and 10% hyper-intellectual), consider social means (ex: an intellectual may grow up in a poor area, become either a criminal mastermind or someone who would help people, [70% chance of becoming a criminal]) and we will get factions, represented by sub-cultures by the youngsters and society classes (intellegent businessmen would not side themselves with small-minded factory workers). Those variables will be very flexible but will balance each other (one faction may draw power by hypnotizing the population through mass-media, conquering the world, when the other smaller faction will come up with a masterplan to bring the new empire down, or something else will bring it down, it's a FACT that empires do not last forever)
Now the question:
How do I (and don't tell me it's impossible) write all that as a formula?
Which things do I need to include that I have not mentioned yet?
I guess it would be something like this:
growth formula [calculation] intellegence-group forming formula [calc.] global variables* divided by Time?
*global variables: the world's climate, size, amounts of food.Tech advance (we all know tech makes us lazy and decadent)
Now, the calculation signs between those formulae, are they known to us like +,-,x,: or are they completely new?
In this case it isn't about numbers but about HOW a factor is (war-like, peaceful, dead if thrown in boiling water, intellegent, brown-skinned etc)
I guess there are endlessly many factors, but some of them can be shortened down (ex: instead of calculating sperm speed and maneuverability, I just say there is a 50/50 chance that it will be a boy or a girl.)
So, guys, how to write such a formula?If it's not possible, then why?Could it be MADE possible?
And if it is possible, could we bring the entire universe (material and fictional, both movement of stars and fictional but existant (and therefore calculable) things such al love, trust, lies, memory, ....) on a hypermathematic map?
Thank you for your time
As at night, we realise we will never Know and further thinking is pointless....Yet we start again and again
In theory all those factors can be represented by formulas, and could be put together into one enormous and complicated formula, (and not much use because of its complexity).
But perhaps you would be better off putting it together as a "Model", like economists or weather forecasters use.
You could start one in Excel:
* pick a small enough time interval (start with 1 Year with the option of reducing to months).
* run all your births/deaths/marriages etc that would occur in the first year
* calculate the new status at the end of the year, and put that as the start of the next year
* process again and again
Now you will have a set of years, maybe 100 and you can then produce graphs, etc to show how the populations behave. Compare this with historical data to fine-tune your model.
You could probably build an entire career out of this!
You would probably outgrow just Excel, and would need to start programming in C or Java as you got more and more sophisticated.
Sounds like fun.
"The physicists defer only to mathematicians, and the mathematicians defer only to God ..." - Leon M. Lederman
Thank you for your response. I guess i'll be busy writing population matrices now
But I've been thinking..
A conversation between people is nothing else than exchange of factors, which, determined by it's context, have a specific outcome.
For example, if I would say to you: your life or your jewels, you would know it's a joke because we're on the internet and I could not possibly rob you.
global variables: internet, anonymity of forum use
information variables: "Your life or your jewels"->50/50 chance of survivial depending on choice
possibility of dying: 0% (determined by global variables)
Context possibilities: you can fill in this
But if a person would say that on one of those dark November nights, it would look like:
global variables: Dark night, lonely street, evil-looking man
information variables: "Your life or your jewels"->same 50/50 chance of survival
personal variables: largely unknown to either you or the spectator*)
-visible: you see the masked man's eyes, you see it's a young kid who isn't
-mental: without revealing yourself you grab your pocket knife (if you
would hesitate for a while the thug would notice it)
*note: if one would write a model for the thug person, knowing all the psychological data of the "basic" person, with the "added" (his childhood, his education, his experience, his alignment....) factors, one could roughly (or exactly) determine his actions at the moment of the example.
Outcome (forgive me for bad formulae, I'm just trying)
dark night (visibility decreases by 10% by each meter after 10 meters from target)
lonely street (possible helping hand would be 100+ meters away, check above formula for his visibility)
evil-looking man: nx chance of survival, with n=[your fighting/running/negotiations skill]
and x being the same of the thug
Context of inf. var.: 90% chance of not being a joke/bluff
Chance of survival: 50(if giving money)/50{calc} nx+(possibility of police car passing by) or something
Now work the data above with the personal variables and you'll get the outcome. Of course, if you was mistaken about the look in his eyes and did not notice the desperacy, you could be shot trying to defend yourself.And so on....
Every situation, conversation could be mapped like this (for conversations it would be terribly long), so my question is now
I know fate is a believer's excuse, but the things above makes me thinking that everything could be determined.
How would it then look?
-Is there a COMPLETELY random "something" that changes the course of events?(I haven't seen any random things in math)
-Is there a homeostatic system, that would automatically by some to us unknown, hyper-mechanic way restore the balance if it would be pulled too hard to one side?
-Or does the system not interact, but are we just shaped self-balancing (for example, an evil but nerdy kid has a plan on conquering the world.The plan would work out perfectly, but regarding that the average human being would bully a supernerd when in high school by those means the fluctuacy has been made even with the rest, and self-balance restored*)
Does this look like this [cathegory x {sub-cathegory y} cathegory x]
Where the element y is free to do anything between his brackets but would never affect anything outside them (in the x-cath)
Or, if the element y becomes too "cool" and tries to interact with x, the x would "push" it back, hence restoring the balance?

All very interesting stuff, your name is very apt considering what you're doing.
The only mistake I can see is that you've said that the lower the level of intelligence, the more people of that level there are, but there are only small amounts of uber-stupid people, just as there are only small amounts of hyper-intellectual people. Frequency of intelligence follows a 'normal distribution', or a bell shape to you and me.
Why did the vector cross the road?
It wanted to be normal.
Your comment is true, the intellegence distribution should look more like a square function.
| _
| / \
| / \
1 2 3 4 5
(or something like that)
x= intellegence quotent (in numbers 1-5, 1 being a complete goon and 5 being a super genius)
y= amount
The average joe is now on top of the parabole.
Draw all other factors that we people cope with as a function. for example the determined-ness of all people, and then you can see how many smart people ever reach high functions so you get an idea why there are so many incompetent government employees
With some more functions you can determine what the chance is of a person of becoming good/evil (or stay neutral), become law-obeying or not.... Can not do that myself yet, haven't seen much about analysing and functions at school yet, will see more next year.
But guys, this whole idea, is it worth to work further with or am I mistaken in many things (or am inventing the wheel for the second time) and should go spending my time on something else?
Being only in high-school, I only have a limited skill in math.
As at night, we realise we will never Know and further thinking is pointless....Yet we start again and again
By all means, continue with it while you still find it interesting. I don't want to dampen your spirits or anything, but this seems like the kind of thing that will take so long that you will eventually be bored of it and leave it half-done. I hope that doesn't happen, because a world simulator like that could be applied to all kinds of situations and then you'd get a Nobel prize or something. It's not just maths you'll need to know more of, though. You'd need IT to program it, psychology to decide the outcome probabilities of the situations like the one that you were talking about earlier (your life or your jewels) and lots more that I can't think of. As you refine this thing more, it's going to get more and more complicated, so it will probably be more than a 1-person task.
Why did the vector cross the road?
It wanted to be normal.
Definitely worth pursuing, particularly if it fires your interest. At least you will pick up a lot of skills.
If you go to Uni there may be times you get asked to do a project, and you can just get out some of the work you have already done, package it neatly and hand it in.
BTW, I found this article from the Rockefeller University: http://phe.rockefeller.edu/poppies/
(like all technical articles it is written to sound impressive, so don't be worried if it sounds complicated, if you had just done that research you would be using the longest words possible too)
"The physicists defer only to mathematicians, and the mathematicians defer only to God ..." - Leon M. Lederman
What I've been thinking of is not a world simulator but rather a probability calculator.
For example: my current project: the Thief's Algorithm
A thief needs to sneak into a castle, steal a diamond and escape. The castle is guarded by 25 guards with spears and crossbows.
Conditions: visibility 60%, weather: rain .... (following a complete list of descriptions
In a on-paper "program language" it will look like this:
goal: retrieve [diamond] from [castle], (avoid) the [guards], use {rain} as cover
the words in [] brackets are local constants, described like: [door]: in earth-like conditions, mankind evolving process 35% (middle ages), {iron} or {wooden} structures with usually a keyhole .....
a door with no keyhole is written like: [door[no keyhole]
a completely undefined door, (when the thief sees a door but does not have the slightest idea about what kind of door it may be), is written as ]door[
(avoid): actions, described like: (here): not coming in contact with guards, by those and those means....
{rain]: constants, active for {plane of action}, here medieval Britain.
the more factors you add, it will get more and more precise (as to tell you NOT to wear shoes that make noise)
add all factors included in a theft, process those together, and you will get the way (and chance) of getting that diamond.
Algorithm possibly rewritten on banks, department stores ....
Or let's just change the factors and use it to improve people's lives (reverse and get a Police Algorithm)
And concerning world simulations.... also possible. Write a lot of interacting factors (like above, (avoid) interacts in a way with [guard], let those factors interact with themselves for time necessary (like people being born ...) give a course by which the interaction will take place (a world powered by Pi, someone?Pi is infinite!)
With the right balance of factors they will interact forever, if getting a starting push or being powered by something. Then, make it possible for yourself to manage that world by using "lever" factors that would change the cource of your world without disturbing it (for example, create a major fluctuacy that in real life would look like Hurricane Katrina)
Now you are God.
But guys, how do I get probability chances out of functions? For example, if I would draw the possibility of myself being eaten by wolves in a forest as a function, and then draw the "possibility that I will kill the wolf with my bare hands" as a function, where exactly would I be able to read my chance to survive?
I will keep you up to date with some models and algorithms (at least if someone is interested) so you could correct my mistakes (like the one with the stupidity factor).I really have the idea that this will work and I don't leave a thing unfinished. However a computer calculates with digits. not with described logically interacting factors, so it would probably never get to a computer.And thank you for the article.

On the contrary ... the computer is all about logic, and would do the job very well. There are even Artificial Intelligence langages such as Lisp and Prolog. But I think good old C++, Java, etc are a better choice - you get a lot more control.
I have worked with people who simulate mining operations. Every major piece of equipment has failure history (excavators, conveyors, etc), and these can be reduced to statistics.
You can then run a one-year simulation hour-by-hour. Every hour each piece of equipment has a certain likelihood of failing, and the computer program uses random numbers to decide what will happen.
If tuned well it starts to behave like a real mine: equipment breaking down randomly, taking time to be fixed and returned to service.
They can then add (for example) a new truck, and rerun the simulation. If the simulation shows their productivity increases enough to pay for the truck, they might then actually buy it!
These guys really enjoyed coming to work and playing with their pretend mine.

SANTA BARBARA, Calif. – The UC Santa Barbara men's soccer team has been selected by the Big West coaches to win the North Division, and seniors Achille Campion and Fifi Baiden were both included in the 11-man Preseason All-Conference Team, it was announced by the league on Thursday.
The Gauchos, who finished last season with a 10-6-3 record, return seven starters in 2013 and will be fielding a completely healthy lineup to start the year, something they could rarely say last year.
"We've established a very high standard for our team, so it's good to see that other Big West schools are still recognizing the level of talent that our team has," said UCSB head coach Tim Vom Steeg. "We have to accept the challenge of being expected to finish at the top and work with it."
UCSB received five first place votes out of eight Big West institutions, totaling 25 points overall. UC Davis, who was picked to finish second, had 23 points.
Campion and Baiden, who have also been counted among the top Division-I players in the country, were both voted onto the Preseason All-Conference Team. With two selections, the Gauchos had the second most representatives on the team.
"Fifi is an established player in this league, and I think most coaches recognize that Achille would have been one of the top scorers in the conference last season had he not got hurt," said Vom Steeg. "If both those players stay healthy and productive, then I'm confident we will have had a successful year."
Baiden, a 2012 First Team All-Big West selection, returns as the anchor of the midfield for the Gauchos. Campion, who netted six times in just seven games a year ago, will be the focal point of the UCSB offense in the new campaign.
The No. 13 ranked Gauchos will open their season this Saturday with an exhibition match against Westmont. Season tickets are still available for the upcoming season, with plans starting at $3 per game with the Family Plan. To grab your seats today, call 805.893.UCSB, visit the ticket office in the Intercollegiate Athletics Building on campus, or purchase online here.
Earlier today, UCSB's comprehensive broadcast schedule for men's soccer was announced.

Well Being
Free Pattern To Sew Your Own Nursing Cover
Nursing covers are not for everyone, but if a cover helps you feel more comfortable breastfeeding in public, you might be glad to find these instructions to sew your own "Bebe au Lait"-style nursing cover. Heather at Sleek Mama created these detailed pattern instructions and sewed two stylish covers for just $8!
• 1 yard of fabric
• D rings. They are the rings that you can adjust your strap with. They are in the shape of a D, hence the name, and come in silver or gold. I got the 1 1/4 inch size, but you could go a little bigger.
• Corset Boning. It comes in white or black and it comes in different strengths (or stiffness). I chose the stiffest one they had and bought 1/2 yard. It is 1/4 inches wide.
• Of course you need thread. The entire project cost me $8 to make two, the fabric was on sale and I had the thread.
1. First, I cut the fabric 26 x 38 inches. The finished product is 24 x 36 inches (that's the size of the original Hooter Hiders) so cut it a bit bigger so you can sew the hem around. This size is perfect because the longer side wraps around your sides under your arms and covers anything that might be sticking out.
2. I cut the strips for the neck straps. The longer one I cut 31 inches long (this seems just a little long to me as I have a lot of excess when I make it the right length for breastfeeding) by 3 inches wide. The shorter strip which will hold the D rings I cut 10 inches long by 3 inches wide. Here are pictures of the straps below:
Long strap:
Short strap:
3. To sew these, I just sewed down the middle turning the fabric under (you can see on the long strap my stitch down the middle). I sewed the long strap to a point by just folding the corners down and stitching over. I sewed the short strap the same way and just put the D rings on the end and sewed the fabric over. The raw ends of both straps will be sewn into the hem so you don't have to worry about finishing them.
4. Now set the straps aside and sew a hem around 3 sides of the large piece of fabric (leaving the top, or one long side, unsewn). I just folded the edge under and sewed around, no pinning needed because I just held it as I went.
5. Next I sewed in about 10 inches on one side of the top where I will put the straps and boning. I then put one strap with the raw end folded under the hem and sewed over it.
6. Next you want to put your boning in between where your straps will be. All you need to do is place the boning under the hem and stitch the hem just like the other side. Make sure you put the boning in so the curve is going to face the right way (It will have a definite bend/curve to it). The distance between my straps is about 13-14 inches.
7. Next, sew your other strap on and then finish stitching until the end. I did make another stitch on my straps above the original stitch (see in picture of short strap above) to give is reinforcement.
View from back:
View from front:
Boning in neck:
8. Now you can add a little pocket to the bottom corner on the backside. I didn't do that yet on this one, but what works really well is to take a baby washcloth (I bought some on clearance) and sew it on three sides. That way, you could put breast pads in there and use it to wipe your little one's mouth or your breasts if you need to.
The finished product:
Heather insists she is not an expert seamstress, and this project took her just 30-45 minutes!

Chinese Court Tosses Out Guge Lawsuit Against Google Over Name
from the nice-try dept
A few weeks ago we noted that a company named Guge was suing Google in China, claiming that Google ripped off its trademarked name by using the name Guge in that country. The problem? The company Guge only named itself that a few days after Google announced plans to use the name Guge in China. That seemed like a pretty blatant moneygrab, and thankfully, the Chinese courts have agreed, tossing out the lawsuit and allowing Google to continue to use the name.

Read Courses Only Taught at CIIS: Part I
California Institute of Integral Studies (CIIS) has a unique curriculum, partly because of its distinctive academic programs, including Asian and Comparative Studies, Women's Spirituality, Somatic Psychology, and many others. The one-of-a-kind courses also reflect the interests of the CIIS faculty, who have deep expertise in research areas that most other universities don't even touch on.
In academic year 2011–12, CIIS is featuring a number of courses that you can only find at the Institute. Professor Renée Emunah is teaching a class that doesn't seem that unusual from its title—Integrative Seminar—but the content is completely singular. The class is offered by the Drama Therapy program at CIIS, one of only two accredited and approved programs in this field in the entire U.S. Professor Emunah's class focuses on a method in drama therapy that she herself pioneered: the self-revelatory performance. Students have the option of creating and performing a 35- to 40-minute self-revelatory performance as their capstone project. The pieces are performed in a theatre for an audience composed of students and graduates of the program, as well as invited guests. The CIIS community also receives an invite.

When we founded Expressway Music, we promised ourselves that we wouldn't be known for "cookie cutter" weddings. We'd listen carefully to what you'd tell us, and tailor our presentation to accommodate your every desire.
Please feel free to visit our website for more information on our live music groups, deejays and the wedding page.
Deejay David: Expressway founder David Swirsky is a much sought-after deejay with an impressive clientele list. He started Expressway in July, 1992, and has also had a successful career as a songwriter.
Deejay Casey: A gifted deejay and dancer from a musical family, Casey graduated from Fame's LaGuardia High School, where she studied drama and instrumental and vocal music. She's at home with R&B, Pop, Gospel, Opera, and Jazz. Clients love Casey because she's fun and thoroughly professional.
Deejay/Karaoke Host/Vocalist Dan: One of the most requested DJs in the business, Dan shows he really cares about people. His ability to cater to clients' desires is unparalleled. He has a strong command of all styles and genres of popular music, and is an outstanding vocalist.
If you love Doo-Wop music, then look no further then Spank. Spank consists of four veteran vocalists (Reggie, Herman, Bernard and Raisin) who have mastered the art of harmony. Spank covers songs from the Tymes to the Temps. Spank will enhance any event (including weddings) with their elegance and soulful song stylings.
Minute by Minute~ Not only do they play all styles of music — Swing, Jazz, Rock, Disco, Ethnic, Reggae, etc. — but they also play many of today's current hits. This eclectic mix of world-class musicians and vocalists have played weddings nationally and internationally, and have performed numerous times at some of New York City's finest venues, including The Pierre, St. Regis, Plaza, Rainbow Room, & many more.
Expressway Jazz is a swinging modern group, playing an extensive repertoire that includes hundreds of standards by Rodgers and Hart, Gershwin, Cole Porter, Irving Berlin, et al. And of course swing (very dance-able!), bebop, Latin, blues, and a bit of funk, Beatles, and contemporary.
Members of the group can work as a trio, a duo of sax and piano or piano and bass, or solo piano. And the group can become a quartet or quintet with the addition of drums and/or trumpet.
The group often plays unique versions of classical music for the wedding ceremony, then follows up with jazz for the cocktail hour.
The Professionals play music for all occasions, including weddings, corporate events and private parties. The band consists of six professional musicians from varied musical backgrounds. They were formed in the spring of 2000 and are actively performing in the Tri-State area.
The Professionals' repertoire includes 70's Disco, 50's Rock & Roll, Classic and Alternative Rock, Dance Music, 80's hits, Swing, and Jazz Standards.
Chamber Music~ Expressway features chamber groups composed of some of the finest professional, conservatory-trained performers available. Soloists, duets, trios, and quartets are offered in a variety of instrumental combinations which, depending on the size of the group, might include various combinations of flute, cello, violin, viola, and piano, or trumpets and trombones, with a repertoire extending all the way from Bach to Bernstein.
Every musical and logistical detail is attended to in coordination with you. Music selections are tailored to your specifications, and every effort is made to accommodate your requests. The goal is to provide the perfect musical atmosphere for just the right touch of "living elegance," in order to create an event that everyone will remember.

A fund established by the state to facilitate and organize the investment of employees' retirement funds contributed by the employer and employees. The pension fund is a common asset pool meant to generate stable growth over the long term, and provide pensions for employees when they reach the end of their working years and commence retirement.
Private Funds
These types of funds are generally exempt from federal securities regulations and laws and are included under the label of "hedge funds".
Deferred Compensation
All compensation deferred pursuant to this article and all earnings thereon shall be held in trust or pursuant to custodial accounts. Funds in the account shall be held separately from all other funds and monies held by the state and shall be expended only as provided pursuant to written agreements entered into. The financial liability of the state, county, city, town or other political subdivision is limited to the value of the investment plan purchased.
Special Revenue Fund
An account established by the state to collect money that must be used for a specific project. Special revenue funds provide an extra level of accountability and transparency to taxpayers that their tax dollars will go toward an intended purpose. The state must rely on operating and capital budgets to pay for their other expenses.
Water Development Account I
Created by W.S. 41-2-124(a)(i), this account serves as the primary account for funding the operations of the Wyoming Water Development Commission, and in practice, is utilized for planning and construction of new water projects. The account benefits from a statutorily dedicated revenue stream of state severance taxes, investment earnings, and repayments of loans from the account.
Water Development Account II
Created by W.S. 41-2-124(a)(ii), this funding is designated for projects completed and in use prior to 1970 for funding reconnaissance and feasibility studies. 4545 (W.S. 41-2-123) In practice, the account is used to fund the rehabilitation of water projects. The account benefits from a statutorily dedicated revenue stream of state severance taxes, investment earnings, and repayments of loans from the account.
Budget Reserve Account (BRA)
Originally created as an intermediate savings account, the Budget Reserve Account now serves as a secondary, or backstop, checking account against which the General Fund draws upon for the general operations of government. The primary revenue sources to the Budget Reserve Account include the "over-the-cap" federal mineral revenues and severance taxes as well as reversions at the end of the biennium. (W.S. 9-2- 1012(e), et al) In practical terms the Budget Reserve Account has served as a secondary checking account and operational savings account for the State and is included as a secondary component of "Traditional Funds" in many presentations by LSO Budget/Fiscal staff, recognizing the Legislature appropriates or transfers from the account for discretionary appropriations.
Local Government Capital Construction Account
Accumulation and use of resources for constructing, acquiring, and rehabilitating capital assets, such as buildings and roads for local government.
School Foundation Program Reserve Account (SFP RA)
Serves as an intermediate savings account for the state expenditures related to K-12 education, somewhat comparably to the LSRA for the state's traditional funds. Created through a deposit of $100 million in the 2014 Budget Bill (2014 Laws, Chapter 26, Section 300(g)), this account is relatively new. The Legislature has not appropriated funds from the account, nor does the account benefit from a dedicated revenue source other than the initial legislative transfer.
School Capital Construction Account (SCCA)
Established as the primary account to fund K- 12 school district capital construction, this account benefits from coal lease bonus revenues and federal mineral royalties, state royalties and transfers, if necessary. The SCCA has historically been linked with the School Foundation Program account and the Permanent Land Fund Holding Account in terms of transfers to and from the SCCA. The account is created in W.S. 21-15- 111(a)(i).
Highway Fund
To account for all revenues the expenditures of which are constitutionally restricted to highway purposes or which are available for expenditure by the Wyoming transportation commission excluding general fund appropriations;
Game and Fish Fund
To account for all revenues received by the game and fish department the expenditures of which are restricted to wildlife purposes or which are available for expenditure by the Wyoming game and fish commission excluding general fund appropriations;
Water Development Account III
Created by W.S. 41-2-124(a)(iii), this account serves as the primary account for large water storage projects. The account benefits from a statutorily dedicated revenue stream of state severance taxes, investment earnings, and repayments of loans from the account.
Strategic Investments and Projects Accout (SIPA)
Created in 2013 Laws, Chapter 73, Section 4, Section 300(e), the SIPA has historically received anticipated but not forecast realized capital gains from investments within the Permanent Wyoming Mineral Trust Fund (PWMTF) on an ad hoc basis. This short-term savings account has been designated by the Legislature to be available for gubernatorial budget recommendations of one-time expenditures as the Governor deems necessary.

The state treasurer shall be the treasurer of monies under this act, and his general bond to the state of Wyoming shall cover all liabilities for his acts as treasurer. The department shall remit to the treasurer for deposit in the trust and agency fund all payments received by the department for the group insurance premium costs from employees and officials, and the state agencies, departments and institutions.

Tobacco settlement trust income fund
Wyoming created the Wyoming tobacco settlement trust fund to receive annual payments from the MSA through March 15, 2002. The principal is to remain forever inviolate, and the interest, and all payments received after March 15, 2002 go to a trust fund income account. The money in this account can be spent on efforts in prevention and cessation of tobacco use through school and community based programs and efforts to establish and implement programs to prevent, intervene in, and otherwise limit alcohol and substance abuse. This money must be appropriated by the legislature. WYO. STAT. ANN. § 9-4-1203 (2000).

Wisdom cries aloud in the street, in the markets she raises her voice; at the head of the noisy streets she cries out; at the entrance of the city gates she speaks: 'How long, O simple ones, will you love being simple? How long will scoffers delight in their scoffing and fools hate knowledge? If you turn at my reproof, behold, I will pour out my spirit to you; I will make my words known to you'" (Proverbs 1:20-23).
The personification of wisdom is a common thread throughout the book of Proverbs. In the verses above, we see "Wisdom" illustrated as a woman, pleading in the street for people to change their ways and submit to the ordinances of the Almighty. The call to listen to these words and the wisdom being proclaimed is an appeal to the people of the city to know God and to be reconciled to Him. This is a foreshadowing of today's gospel proclamation!
In biblical times, the gate or entrance of a town was the center of debate, advice, and ruling. Surrounded by the commotion of everyday life, "Wisdom" stands and pleads with anyone who will listen, calling them to hear the words of the Lord and to embrace His truth. In a passionate desire to be heard, "Wisdom" has chosen to be where the majority of citizens will be located.
Verse twenty-two shows the progression of sin, as one hardens their heart to the call of God. The beginning stage, simplicity, is an example of ignorance, not submitted to God and somewhat apathetic to the ways of Jesus. The simple minded individual is still called to repent and believe, but they are not as openly and visibly repulsed by the decrees of God as others.
Once the simple hears the gospel and rejects it, they begin to become hardened, and more open in their renunciation of the Lordship of Christ over their lives. These individuals "scoff", mock, and attempt to laugh away the words that are being pressed on their hearts. This is why "Wisdom" calls to those around her. She knows how easily this hardness can accumulate on a soul!
As rebellion is continued and the gospel is pushed away, the hatred of God and depravity of the lost soul becomes more obvious. Solomon, the writer of Proverbs, refers to them as "fools". Their hatred of God's authority over their lives is blatant and they gnash their teeth in the face of the One True Sovereign of the universe. Isn't this a perfect way to describe those who deny the free gift of God's eternal love and salvation? The lost man is a fool, because the cross is foolishness to him (1 Corinthians 1:18).
Look at verse twenty-three, which should cause each one of us to rejoice and praise our King! Regardless of the continued disdain for God and His love, the grace of our Savior still remains! He still offers to welcome anyone who "turns", or repents of their wickedness and clings to Him. Isn't this the beauty of God's pursuit of us and His love? His mercy and grace are truly amazing. After all the rebellion and offenses we have thrown at Him, He still offers redemption for anyone willing to repent and believe. Praise the Lord for His matchless love!
While the primary purpose of these verses is focused on the unbelieving world, the offer of fellowship with God following repentance is true for Christians as well. True believers in the Lord Jesus Christ are called to spend the rest of their lives repenting, growing, and being transformed into the likeness of God (Romans 12:1-2; Ephesians 5:1). Our sin as Christ-followers inhibits fellowship with our Father. This is very important! The more we repent, fill our minds with the Word, and kill the flesh, we will be more consumed with living for the glory of God and making Him known. The way a Christian receives "more" of the Holy Spirit is by defeating the sin within them.
There is never a day when we won't have something to repent of, and the beautiful news is that His grace is free and ALWAYS waiting! "Dogs bark, fish swim, Christians repent"!
REFLECTION: Brother or sister in Christ, what sin are you refusing to repent of? Maybe it is something that only you know about. It could be bitterness, envy, an impure motive, or something else secretive that none of your loved ones can see. Don't hesitate, and don't allow another minute to pass, allowing hard-heartedness to build and grow. Come to Him today, and He will offer you grace and cleanse you of your sin!

AMG's goal in every ministry we undertake is to see the Gospel proclaimed and lives transformed by Christ.
God didn't intend for you to fight life's battles alone. Would you like to know how you can have a personal relationship with Jesus Christ?
It is because of God's love that He desires a relationship with mankind whom He has created. Yet because of His holiness, He can have no dealings with sin. That presents a problem...
Each of us has committed acts that are sinful. But more than that, because we are born with a sinful nature, we fall short of God's standard of perfection.
Because God is holy, He cannot look upon sin or accept sinful man into His presence. Yet because of His great love, He has made provision for man's sin...
Jesus is not just a good man, moral teacher or historical figure. He is God in a human body.
The death of Christ demonstrated the love of God and satisfied the demands of His holiness. His perfect sacrifice paid for our sins and took them away.
We cannot come to God on our own terms. God, who created us, has provided a way for us to know Him, but that way is only through His Son, Jesus.
It is not enough to believe intellectually that there is a God, or that Jesus existed as an historical figure, nor is it enough to have an emotional experience. Each of us must respond to God through an act of the will.
Salvation is turning from our old way of living, independent from God, and turning to Him and the new life He offers.
"...if you confess with your mouth Jesus as Lord, and believe in your heart that God raised Him from the dead, you will be saved; for with the heart a person believes, resulting in righteousness, and with the mouth he confesses, resulting in salvation." - Romans 10:9-10
Salvation is a result not just of intellectually believing or of having an emotional experience. Salvation comes when we are ready to surrender our wills to Him. It is not just the words we say, but the attitude of our hearts. If you would like to receive Christ, this is the attitude He is looking for...
"Lord Jesus, I need you. I recognize that I am a sinner and I need your forgiveness. Thank you for dying on the cross for my sins. Come into my life as my Savior and Lord. Take control of the throne of my life and make me the kind of person you want me to be."
If you have given your life to Christ, He wants you to grow in that relationship. Here are some things that will help...

List below are the most common questions that we receive concerning child sponsorships. As always, if you have additional questions, please feel free to contact us directly at 800.251.7206, ext. 421.
Child sponsorship includes prayer and financial support for your child. It costs $32 dollars a month, or $384 a year to sponsor a child. But equally important is the prayer support that your child receives from you. This is the advantage of pairing children with sponsors - the individual attention.
Yes! We encourage you to write to your child . The letters that you write will help build a valuable relationship that your child will never forget. Usually twice a year your child will write to you.
You can write a traditional letter and mail it to AMG, or you can create an account online and write to your child, as well as your child's development center, from your account page. (Please note that all communications to and from donors come to the home office for processing. No direct communication is permitted for the security and safety of children, donors, and field staff.)
Yes! We receive gifts for sponsored children around the world – from toys to books to clothing. You may not know, however,
that once shipping, duties, and other expenses are included, even something as small as a box of crayons and a coloring
book could cost over $50 to send to the field!
If you plan to give a special gift:
We recommend a minimum of $15 but a good average is $25 to $50 by most sponsors. You may go up to $100 if you so desire. We request that you do not exceed the $100 amount on any single special occasion. If you have a unique situation you may contact the sponsorship department at 1-800-251-7206 and a staff member will discuss this with you.
AMG's mission is to advance the gospel with compassion. Impacting a child and a family with the gospel includes an awareness of the children's needs and a purposeful participation in helping those in our sponsorship program. Our child development centers are designed to impact a child mentally, physically, emotionally and most of all spiritually. There is no end to the needs and difficult circumstances every child brings to AMG and this is why our sponsorship program helps each child with nutrition, medical care, personal development, Bible study and spiritual training. AMG does not facilitate the building of homes or major lifestyle changes for the families connected to AMG. This type of involvement from outside sources very often creates serious problems for the family and the local community the child and family live within. Please see FAQ "How Much is Appropriate To Give For Special Gifts".
Children under the care of AMG receive a hot, nutritious meal and a snack each day along with access to medical care if needed. Children are provided educational opportunities and are tutored if necessary. Childcare center staff members encourage children to take advantage of every opportunity they have to learn new skills. Children are given new outfits of clothing and shoes once or twice a year. Each child is given a clear presentation of the gospel, with the hope that they will become a Christian, and reach his or her world for Christ.
AMG has always approached the care of children with a holistic emphasis...daily food, education, access to medical care and most of all, the gospel. Every child receives more benefits and access to services than any one sponsorship could provide therefore all sponsorship funds are pooled for the maximum benefit of your child and all of those attending their center. Your sponsorship dollars are combined with your fellow sponsors so that every child receives uninterrupted care regardless of the possibility that a sponsor misses sending their sponsorship donation on any given month. Your faithfulness and that of every sponsor giving regularly will ensure the maximum benefits for your child as well as all the children in the Child Sponsorship program.
We understand that circumstances change and sometimes it may be necessary for you to give up your sponsorship. In this situation, notify us and we will begin looking for another sponsor for your child.
While we ask that your sponsorship commitment last at least one year, the length of time during which you sponsor a child is up to you. Sponsorship programs help AMG provide food, clothing, medical care and education to children until they reach age 18 or complete their final year of education and leave the sponsorship program. Most of the children AMG serves rely on these programs for their wellbeing. When a sponsorship lapses or is discontinued, AMG will seek out another sponsor rather than discontinue or interrupt the care for that child. Sponsors wishing to extend their relationship with a sponsored child beyond age 18 may do so if the child continues their affiliation with AMG either as a Bible student or National Worker.
AMG sponsors short-term mission trips around the world. Frequently, we will go to countries where childcare centers are located. When we go to the country where your child lives, we encourage you to participate in that trip. Short-term trips are a great way to share the love of Jesus and meet the child that you have chosen to sponsor.
Currently AMG is providing childcare to children in Bangladesh, Guatemala, Haiti, India, Indonesia, Peru, Philippines, Thailand and Uganda.
If you are ready to sponsor a child now, write, call, or click here to select a particular child. Or, if you would like us to assign you the child in greatest need, simply write to or call us. As soon as we receive your first donation of $32, we will send you a photograph and biographical and family information about your child. If you are interested, but have more questions, click here to email your questions or call 1-800-251-7206, ext. 421 and we will be glad to assist you.
Listed below are the most common questions that we receive concerning national worker sponsorships. As always, if you have additional questions, please feel free to contact us directly at 800.251.7206.
National worker sponsorship includes prayer and financial support for your national worker. It costs $50 dollars a month, or $600 a year to sponsor a national worker. But equally important is the prayer support that your national worker receives from you. This unique partnership is an important part of a national worker's ministry.
Yes! We encourage you to write to your national worker. The letters that you write will help build a valuable relationship as you come alongside your national worker to encourage them in their ministry. Your national worker partner will send personal letters and ministry updates to you at least twice a year.
Yes. We do ask that you send money and not gifts-in-kind because of the difficulties involved in shipping packages. The money that is sent for the national worker will go 100% to them. Other gifts that are designated for family birthdays, specific ministry projects or personal needs are welcome as well.
Your support is intended to supplement the income and ministry needs of your sponsored national worker. For some national workers, sponsorship funds enable them to acquire basic necessities like food staples and clothing or to pay their children's school fees. Other national workers may be amply provided for personally, but welcome the sponsorship assistance to print materials, equip facilities, hold special ministry events, or purchase supplies. In either case, your support is a significant contribution to the effectiveness of a national worker's ministry.
Not necessarily. Many factors help define a meaningful support level for each national worker, including the cost of living for the country in which they serve; therefore some national workers are assigned more sponsorships than others. We work closely with our field directors to assess the needs of each national worker.
We welcome regular sponsorship as well as one-time ministry gifts for all of the national workers who partner with AMG. Each and every gift is a valuable contribution to the effectiveness of a national worker's ministry.
We understand that circumstances change and sometimes it may be necessary for you to give up your sponsorship. In this situation, please notify us and we will begin looking for another sponsor for your national worker.
While we ask that your sponsorship commitment last at least one year, the length of time during which you sponsor a national worker is up to you. Sponsorship programs help AMG provide support to national workers until their ministry reaches a self-sustaining point or the national worker has completed their term of service. Many of our sponsors have enjoyed lengthy, fruitful relationships with the same national worker; others have had the opportunity to assist multiple successors.
AMG sponsors short-term mission trips around the world. Frequently, we will go to places where sponsored national workers are serving. When we go to the country where your national worker partner serves, we encourage you to participate in that trip. Short-term trips are a great way to share the love of Jesus and minister alongside the national worker you have chosen to sponsor in a whole new way.
Currently AMG partners with national workers in 26 countries. You can click here to view the majority of national workers that are available for sponsorship. However, for security reasons, not all of our national workers are individually represented on the site. If you do not see a particular country or ministry represented in which you are interested, please feel free to contact us at 800.251.7206 for further information.
If you are ready to sponsor a national worker now, please write, call, or click here to select a particular national worker. Or, if you would like us to assign you the national worker in greatest need, simply contact us. As soon as we receive your first donation of $50, we will send you the photograph, biographical information, and ministry testimony of your national worker. If you are interested, but have more questions, click here to email your questions or call 800.251.7206 and ask for Meredith.
There are no age requirements for MA team members. All applicants are subject to approval by the MA Team Leader. Minors (under 18 years old) who apply to participate must have a guardian that is at least 21 years old who will also be a participant on the trip. The type of ministry of certain trips on the field may preclude a minor's participation on the trip. Families are encouraged to participate on MA Teams.
Yes. Appropriate training is provided covering areas of cultural training, support development, spiritual preparation, etc.
Immunizations vary from field to field. The CDC (Center for Disease Control) has recommendations for all fields. The basic immunizations recommended are Tetanus and Hepatitis A. However, some fields require additional immunizations and medications.
AMG will provide assistance in writing support letters and developing a Biblical understanding of support raising.
The trip cost covers all related travel and in-country expenses (i.e. air transportation, housing, food, insurance, in-country travel, etc.) You would be responsible for transportation to and from the originating airport, meals in the airport, and any personal items you would purchase on the field (i.e. snacks, souvenirs, etc.).
Typically a $100 deposit is due at the time of registration for the trip. One half of the balance of the trip is due 60 days prior to departure and the remaining balance is due 30 days prior to departure. All documents should be submitted 90 days prior to departure.
Yes. Each Mission Adventure has its own designated page where you can give to support a team. To find a specific Mission Adventure, go to the Mission Adventure Trip Schedule Page and click on your trip. Then click the "Click Here to Support Trip" button to begin the payment process.
If a trip is organized for a specific church, school, or other group, it is typically not "open" for registrations outside that group. These designations are reflected on the trip schedule. However, if you have a particular interest in joining one of these teams, you can contact us as some teams are open to additional team members.
First-time trip registrations begin with an Online Missions Profile. Log in or create a new account, then click "Account" to access your Online Missions Profile under the "Mission Adventures" heading. Once the six sections of your profile are completed, find the trip of your choice on the Mission Adventure Trip Schedule and register for the trip. AMG will then approve your registration, and you will receive an email explaining how to upload the documents needed for the trip. You will be able to pay more toward your trip from the same page where you upload documents. Upon uploading all documents and paying the rest of your trip balance, the registration process will be complete.
An Online Missions Profile (OMP) serves as your application for a trip and contains personal information such as contact information, your personal testimony, passport information, etc. You only have to complete an OMP once; after that the OMP can be updated at any time. With second and subsequent trip registrations, you can simply check to make sure all of your information is current.
Log in to your account and click "Account". Under the "Mission Adventures" heading, click "Your Enrolled Trips." There you will see the trips that you are registered for and where to upload your documents. Download the documents needed by clicking the blue text, complete the documents, scan them to your computer, then use the "Submit Now" buttons to upload your documents.
You can still begin the registration process for a Mission Adventure, even if have applied for but have not yet received your passport. On your Online Missions Profile under "Update Your Primary Information," check "I Have Applied for My Passport and Have Not Received It Back." When you do receive your passport, you will need to go back and update your Online Missions Profile with your passport information. If you are considering going on a Mission Adventure and do not have a passport, be sure to apply for your passport well in advance of the registration deadline of your chosen trip. Also, if your passport expires within the next 6 months, you will need to renew your passport before registering for a trip.
Log in to your account and click "Account". Under the "Mission Adventures" heading, click "Your Enrolled Trips." There you will see the trips that you are registered for and the button to pay more toward your trip.
To share a trip on Social Media, go to AMG's Home Page and go to "Click Here to see all AMG Countries, Sponsorship & Support Opportunities." Use the "Narrow By" tool to the left to find your trip. Open the trip page you are looking for and use the Social Media icons on the trip page to share the trip with your friends and family.
During the process of registration, you will be asked to choose between the options of paying for your deposit or of notifying AMG that your church/school/group is paying for your deposit. Type the name of your church/school/group in the text box when completing the next step of registration.
Log in on the website and then click "Account". Under Mission Adventures, click "View Trip Reports." This will allow you to see applicant information including Registration Status and which documents team members have submitted to AMG.
Most likely, you are typing in the wrong password. To reset your password, click "I Forgot My Password" on the login screen. Type in your email and then click "Reset Password." You will be sent an email with a link to reset your password. It is also possible that you are attempting to log in with an email address other than the one that was used to create the account. If you do not remember the email address associated with the website account, please give us a call at 800.251.7206.
The pencil icons beside each section indicate whether a section has been completed or not. If there is a + sign beside a section, that section is not complete and needs more information. When you attempt to save that particular section, anything that needs to be corrected will be highlighted in red.
If you see that your trip registration has been declined, this can mean that your Online Mission Profile is lacking important information or contains obvious errors OR that you have registered for a trip for which you do not qualify. You will receive a follow-up email that will give you further instructions or explain why your registration has been denied.
Once you receive the approval email notification, log in to the website and click "Account." Under the "Mission Adventures" heading, click "Your Enrolled Trips." This page contains the next steps in the registration process, which are to upload your documents and pay the remaining balance for your trip.
If you are not able to upload your documents, the second option is to mail the documents to our Home Office in Chattanooga, TN. Send your document copies to AMG International, ATTN: Mission Adventures, P.O. Box 182200, Chattanooga, TN 37422.

UNION, N.J. (4/25/12) – Sophomore John Marcelli scored the game-winner with less than two minutes remaining to lift the Kean University men's lacrosse team to a 13-11 win over Farmingdale State College in the Skyline Conference semifinals on Wednesday evening.
With the win, the second-seeded Cougars (12-5) will face top-seeded Montclair State University on Saturday afternoon at 1 p.m. at Sprague Field on the campus of Montclair State. Tickets are $5 for adults and $2 for students and children.
Marcelli (pictured left) finished with a game-high four goals in the win. For the Rams (6-9), senior goalkeeper Patrick Delvanthal made 16 saves.
Farmingdale State opened the game with the first two goals, as senior Tim Caden opened the scoring just 1:15 into the game and assisted on the second goal by Jason Opitz just over a minute later for the early 2-0 lead.
The Cougars answered with six straight goals spanning the first and second quarters, as sophomore Richard Cheifitz opened the run with back-to-back goals, before Marcelli gave Kean its largest lead at 6-2 with 11:11 remaining in the second period.
Farmingdale State closed the half scoring four of the last five goals to pull within 7-6 at the break following two goals by senior midfielder Shannon Robinson.
In the second half, Marcelli and Cheifitz extended the Kean lead to 9-6, however the Rams answered with four straight goals to take the 10-9 lead with 9:43 remaining in the game on the unassisted goal by Donovan Devaney.
The Cougars regained the lead following goals by senior Nick Angrisani and junior Ryan Buerkle, before Caden tied the game at 11-11 with 3:38 left. Marcelli netted the unassisted game-winner with 1:48 remaining, before adding the insurance tally with 22 seconds left to advance Kean to the Skyline Championship game.
Marcelli had four goals and one assist, while Cheifitz had three goals and one assist. Rookie Jonathan Foss won 15-of-25 faceoffs and picked up 11 groundballs.
Junior goalkeeper Lane Zierten (pictured left) played the final quarter, making four saves to earn the victory.
For the Rams, Caden finished with two goals, one assist and five groundballs, while Devaney added two goals and four groundballs.
The Cougars will face the host Red Hawks for the Skyline Championship for the fourth time in the last five years.

Flexner on Finishing: Alternative Paint Strippers
Safer Strippers are having a 'green' revival.
by Bob Flexner
Pages 58-60
From the April 2012 Issue, # 196
Methods for removing old paint and finish from furniture have gone through at least four distinct periods.
Before solvents became widely available, coatings were removed by scraping, often with glass used like we use scrapers, and sometimes by sanding, after sandpaper became available.
(Heat and caustics such as lye have never been a good idea for furniture because they can lift veneer and separate joints. Also, lye will turn most hardwoods black.)

1930-40' Boxer Boxing Original Sports Vintage Poster
This is a wonderful small, square boxing poster depicting 2 boxers in the ring, with bystanders below. There is no text printed on the poster, and it was found in a printing office lot with other similar posters we also have on our site.
The color is vivid, red white, blue and black, and the scene is all American. The boxers very much resemble Max Schmeling and Jack Dempsey, who were a famous fight duo of the late thirties. The poster is very small, would be beautiful framed for a children's room or sports room.
Condition is A, linen mounted. A great piece! See other boxer poster on our site, found with this, in a larger size. The poster is archivally linen backed and ready for framing. Would be great framed for the vintage boxing buff! We have 11 of these beautiful little pieces, and when gone, we will never have them again.
Size: 9.25 × 9.50 inches

For the Easter holiday, I thought I would adapt our mushroom quiche recipe into a Spring brunch dish, with asparagus and ham. It turned out great, my one note is to not add any salt as the ham brings enough salt to the party.
Ham and Asparagus Quiche RecipePrint
- 1 recipe pie dough, enough for one bottom crust (see Pâte Brisée recipe)
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 medium shallots, thinly sliced
- 10 ounces asparagus spears, cut on the diagonal into 1-inch long pieces
- 1/2 pound ham, cut into 1/4-inch cubes
- Freshly ground pepper
- 1/2 cup milk
- 1/2 cup heavy cream
- 3 large eggs
- 6 ounces Gruyère cheese, grated (1 1/2 cups)
1 On a lightly floured surface, roll out dough into a 12-inch circle. Fit into a 10-by-1 1/2-inch round tart pan (with or without a removable bottom), pressing dough into corners. Transfer to freezer to chill for 30 minutes.
2 Preheat oven to 350°. Line pastry with parchment paper, wax paper, or aluminum foil, pressing into the corners and edges. Fill at least two-thirds with baking weights - dried beans, rice, or aluminum pie weights. Bake first for 15 minutes, remove from oven and let cool a few minutes. Carefully remove parchment paper and weights. Poke the bottom of the pie pan with the tongs of a fork and return to oven and bake an additional 10 minutes or until lightly golden. (Fork holes are for any air to escape.) Transfer to a wire rack to cool while making filling.
3 Heat oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium high heat. Add shallots, and cook, stirring, until translucent but not brown, about 1 minute. Add asparagus. Cook, stirring frequently, until asparagus are just cooked (al dente), slightly browned, firm, not mushy, 8 to 10 minutes.
4 Increase oven temperature to 375°F. Place tart pan on a baking sheet to catch any run-off there might be (especially if you are using a pan with a removable bottom.) Sprinkle half the cheese evenly over the bottom of the crust. Spread asparagus and ham over the cheese and then top with remaining cheese. In a medium bowl, whisk together milk, cream, and eggs. Season with fresh ground pepper. Pour over cheese. Transfer to oven, and bake until just set in the center, 30 to 35 minutes. Cool on a wire rack for about 10 minutes before slicing.

This product is a recombinant protein produced in E.coli.
What are Affibody Molecules?
Affibody® affinity ligands are unique research reagents, produced using innovative protein-engineering technologies. They are small, simple proteins composed of a three-helix bundle based on the scaffold of one of the IgG-binding domains of Protein A. Protein A is a surface protein from the bacterium Staphylococcus aureus. This scaffold has excellent features as an affinity ligand and can be designed to bind with high affinity to any given target protein. The domain consists of 58 amino acids, 13 of which are randomized to generate Affibody® libraries with a large number of ligand variants. Thus, the libraries consist of a multitude of protein ligands with an identical backbone and variable surface-binding properties. In function, Affibody® Molecules mimic monoclonal antibodies. Compared to antibodies, the most striking dissimilarity of Affibody® Molecules is the small size. Affibody® Molecules have a molecular weight of 6kDa, compared to the molecular weight of antibodies, which is 150kDa. In spite of its small size, the binding site of Affibody® Molecules is similar to that of an antibody. The advantages of Affibody® Molcules over antibodies are: -their small size -the simple structure of the molecules -its robust physical properties; able to withstand a broad range of analytical conditions, including extreme pH and elevated temperature -its ability to fold correctly intracellularly -the fast and cost effective production in bacteria -the potential to couple Affibody® Molecules in multimeric constructs Affibody® Molecules have highly competitive properties for applications within affinity purification, sample preparation, protein detection and in vitro diagnostics.
Our Abpromise guarantee covers the use of ab31890 in the following tested applications.
The application notes include recommended starting dilutions; optimal dilutions/concentrations should be determined by the end user.

Cells of the human mammary gland cell line SK-BR3 were stained with biotin conjugated Anti-ErbB2 Affibody® molecule (ab31890). The staining was localized to the membrane of the ErbB2 expressing human mammary gland cells. Nuclei were counter stained with DAPI (blue fluorescence).
The SK-BR3 cells were stained for 30 minutes at a concentration of 1-5ug Affibody® molecule/ml.

ST. LOUIS — During John Mozeliak's six-year reign, the Cardinals general manager has traded popular center fielder Jim Edmonds, held firm in his contract offer that resulted in slugger Albert Pujols' leaving, and sent perennial prospect Colby Rasmus to the Toronto Blue Jays as part of the revamping of a roster that essentially helped the Cardinals win the 2011 World Series.
As daring and as successful as those decisions were, Mozeliak's decision not to acquire a veteran starting pitcher or a seasoned shortstop has helped the Cardinals' long-term future remain promising.
As for the present, Mozeliak's faith in his team's youth remains intact as the Cardinals will try to take a lead Saturday night in Game 3 of the World Series at Busch Stadium.
"Nobody knows our organization better than Mo," first baseman Allen Craig said. "He knows the talent we have. He knows the guys he's looking for to step up in big spots. And I think you can see that with the young guys on the mound. We got Carlos Martinez as our eighth-inning guy and [Trevor] Rosenthal as our closer. Look at what Michael Wacha has done in the playoffs. Mo had a good idea [that] those guys were going to be successful."
Mozeliak, 44, and his scouting and player development departments currently have mastered the art of winning and developing major league-ready talent, such as Rosenthal, Shelby Miller, Martinez and Wacha.
"You realize [they] are special resources and not easy to find," said Mozeliak, who began his career in the Colorado Rockies organization 20 years ago and joined the Cardinals two years later in the scouting department. "To be flipping them for some short-term gain in early July doesn't make sense to me. I understand everyone has to make different decisions along the way.
"I felt at some point, these guys were going to help our club this year. Certainly we did feel we had some needs, but the cost of improving didn't make sense."
Considering the Cardinals missed advancing to the World Series by one game last October, the decision to sit tight seemed like a risk. And it didn't help that shortstop, one of the areas that was under scrutiny in July, was flawed Wednesday in Game 1 when Pete Kozma made the first of two errors that led to three runs in the first inning of an 8-1 loss to the Boston Red Sox.
But Mozeliak's faith was validated in Game 2 when Wacha, Martinez and Rosenthal shut down the Red Sox in a 4-2 win.
One of Mozeliak's biggest decisions was replacing successful manager Tony La Russa with unproven Mike Matheny after the 2011 season, but Matheny has continued the Cardinals' success.
"Mike understood the culture of this organization and wanted to keep it going," Mozeliak said. "Obviously, replacing someone like Tony La Russa isn't easy, and one thing you have to admire about Mike is that he came in here with great respect for his predecessor, for the past, but he also wanted to put his fingerprints on this team and this organization."

Dr. Sinclair Ferguson Speaks to the Authority of Scripture
By Abbey LeRoy
CIU Student Writer
Columbia International University concluded its annual Authority of Scripture Week by hearing from pastor, author and professor Dr. Sinclair Ferguson. Ferguson is senior minister of the historic First Presbyterian Church in Columbia, S.C., a faculty member at Westminster Theological Seminary in Philadelphia and Redeemer Seminary in Dallas, and the author of over two dozen books ranging from works of scholarship to children's books.
Ferguson addressing the CIU student body in Chapel, then met with local pastors, CIU faculty members and interested students at a luncheon.
In his Chapel message from the first chapter of James, Ferguson explained how God produces maturity in the Christian life.
"One of God's chief instruments of producing spiritual maturity is the trials which, at first glance, seem to be the enemies of our faith," Ferguson said.
Ferguson encouraged students to see trials as a reason to rejoice, not because suffering is enjoyable, but because it is through trials that faith is proven, confirmed and developed.
Meanwhile, at the luncheon, Ferguson's topic was "The Art and Practice of Expository Preaching." In his own words, he defined expository preaching as "the Spirit-enabled exposition and application of all of the Word of God to all of the people of God so they may be transformed into the likeness of Jesus Christ and touch the world for His glory."
Ferguson also made a distinction between preaching a sermon and expounding on the Word of God.
"I never think of myself as preaching a sermon," Ferguson said. "At the end of the day, my responsibility is to be expounding the Word of God. It's really all we have."
Drawing from the apostolic pattern in Acts, he emphasized the importance of exposing congregants to Scripture in its entirety.
"If all of the Word of God is inspired, it logically follows that the whole of the Word of God can and should be preached," Ferguson said.
Ferguson's focus on expository preaching was coupled with an exhortation to pray for the ministry of the Word. Using the early church as an example, he demonstrated how fervent prayer should precede preaching.
"Expository preaching is not a style of preaching that is absent from a style of prayer," Ferguson said.

Twenty years drags like a lead-filled wheelbarrow for youngsters looking to the future and seems to fly by for those of us with jobs, mortgages and life in general.
By Alan Clemons, Southern Managing Editor
So when I stumbled across the 1992 "Deer Hunters Equipment Annual" produced by Deer & Deer Hunting a few weeks ago at our home office in Wisconsin, the discovery didn't come without a bit of laughter and nostalgia. The magazine comes out in mid-summer and highlights the new firearms, ammunition, apparel and accessories introduced at the annual winter Archery Trade Association and Shooting Hunting and Outdoor Trade shows held in January.
The 192-page edition had a cover price of $2.95, a bargain for the slammed-full pages featuring just about everything any hunter could think about. The cover was a nice scene-setting photo that included a red-black check wool shirt, leather boots, a lever-action rifle, muzzleloader, two modern scoped rifles, a rocking chair, tanned deer hide, recurve bow and a compound that would make today's string-pullers giggle and shake their heads.
Among the authors with stories in the '92 annual were Jim Casada, Dave Henderson, Laurie Lee Dovey, Kent Horner, Richard P. Smith, Charles Alsheimer, Bryce Towsley and Peter Schoonmaker. Horner, like me, was a fellow Alabamian who regularly contributed stories for me in my former life as a newspaper outdoors editor. Fine folks, all of them, and regulars among the outdoor magazine mastheads.
Another veteran scribe, Nick Sisley, began his story about new firearms thusly: "I don't need another rifle for hunting white-tailed deer." I laughed, because how many of us have uttered those same words? Quite a few, yet we still take a gander at the latest bullet-flinger that hits the market and, often, have an itch to try something new.
One thing that stood out was how, to our advantage, technology has increased in the last 20 years. Not to say that traditional bows or flintlocks don't work. They do. The old .30-30 lever action your father hunted with still kills deer. But for those who enjoy and appreciate today's technological improvements, faster bows or bullets, warmer clothing and top-line accessories, the available options to choose from are fun to use.
Here's a quick rundown of a few things that caught my eye in the '92 annual. Some are gone, some are still around.
— Trebark, Tru-Leaf, ASAT, Skyline, Realtree and Mossy Oak camo patterns. The latter two have run through multiple designs. ASAT still offers the same pattern loved by many hunters. Realtree and Mossy Oak were still infants, so to speak, with Mossy Oak touting its beloved Bottomland and Realtree with its "new" All-Purpose. The Realtree advertisement featured a guy wearing a cap that must have been six inches tall … he could have hidden squirrels under it for warmth.
— The "new" Mathews SoloCam compound bow, which changed the industry, and the tiny-wheeled Darton Viper. My, how things have changed.
— Easton XX78 SuperSlam aluminum arrows with the new UNI nock-bushing system. Anyone still using aluminum arrows?
— Ranging Rangefinders, giving hunters the chance to "use a rangefinder before game shows up to correctly measure distances and landmarks."
This Bushnell Scout 1000 is light-years better for your accurate hunting needs! Click HERE!
— A photo with the story "The Modern Arrow Nock to Broadhead" features a hunter with a nocked arrow that looks like it's three feet long. Was that a bow or a spear launcher?
— Muzzy was introducing its 3-blade broadhead with the Trocar tip, while Satellite's new Titan 100, 145 and Express broadheads joined the 125-grain offering. Both were highly regarded by bowhunters.
— Wildlife Research featured its Ultimate Scrape-Dripper, which looks the same today. Hard to argue with success, eh?

— Connecticut Valley Arms featured the .50 caliber Apollo Sporter for $255 and Hawken caplock rifle for $250. Knight Rifles, then located in Centerville, Iowa, and founded by Tony Knight, proclaimed the virtues of its Green Mountain Barrel and dual safety on its new BK-92 inline.
— Thompson/Center gave muzzleloader hunters the 3-piece Break-O-Way sabot, with a felt donut pre-lubed with Bore Butter on the bottom of its bullet encased by a split sabot. The sabot and lubed felt would break away after leaving the muzzle like pieces of a rocket's spent fuel tanks as it shot into orbit.
— Trail cameras were making inroads at the time, too. The Cam-Trakker 9000XG Series was a stout $375 while the Trail Master Infrared Trail Monitor was more moderately priced at $195. Others included the Trail Timer "Plus" and Deer Finder Game Monitor. Anyone want to trade in their Cuddeback, PlotWatcher or Moultrie camera for one of these oldies?
Trail cameras? Why, buy a few of these on sale to keep up with all the deer on your property! Click HERE!
One final thing I saw that made me cringe was the Easy-Up Climbing Belt, which basically was an upgraded lineman's belt for climbing trees. No harness. No security ropes or anything. Just the thought of wearing a belt like that and falling, hanging upside down and suspended, and the number of hunters who used them but did get home safely … wow.
At the time it was the safe thing; at least it was something, right? But looking back, I'm definitely glad we have the safety harnesses, Prussic knots, dual safety lines and other great features of today's safety harness systems for hunters to use. Buy a harness and wear it when you climb.
Do you remember any of these products or did you use them? Tell us below about your experiences with the old bows or trail cameras!
