GOSHEN COUNTY – Knowing that today's homes burn faster than ever, the National Fire Protection Association announced "Every Second Counts: Plan Two Ways Out" as the official theme for this year's Fire Prevention Week campaign, Oct. 8-14. Experts say you may have as little as two minutes or less to safely escape a typical home fire from the time the smoke alarm sounds.
"Modern home furnishings, along with the fact that newer homes tend to be built with more open spaces and unprotected lightweight construction, all contribute to an increased rate at which home fires burn," said Lorraine Carli, vice president of Outreach and Advocacy at NFPA. "These factors make home escape planning and practice critical."
Meanwhile, a national survey recently conducted by NFPA shows that Americans continue to have many misperceptions around home escape planning and practice:
• Less than half of Americans (48 percent) know that the correct components of a home fire escape plan include working smoke alarms, two ways out of each room and an outside meeting place.
• Nearly one quarter of Americans (23 percent) do not know that each room in the home should have at least two exits.
• Close to three in five Americans (57 percent) think that in a typical single-family home fire situation, once the smoke alarm sounds, the average person would have more than two minutes to escape safely.
"Home is the place people are at greatest risk of fire, but ironically it's the place they feel safest from it," said Carli. "That over-confidence may contribute to the public's continued lack of awareness around home escape planning and practice."
"Every Second Counts: Plan Two Ways Out" works to teach people about the true speed at which today's home fires can spread, and the vital importance of home escape planning and practice in the event of one.
An effective home escape plan includes:
• working smoke alarms on every level of the home, in every bedroom and near all sleeping areas;
• two ways out of every room, usually a door and a window; and
• a clear path to an outside meeting place (like a tree, light pole or mailbox) that's a safe distance from the home.
Home escape plans should be practiced by all members of the household twice a year.
"In a fire situation, a practiced home escape plan ensures that everyone knows what to do if the smoke alarm sounds and how to use that time wisely," Carli said.

Travelers who can be flexible about departure dates and destinations can get to Europe cheaply whenever they want, even in air-fare-war peacetime. What`s the hitch? It`s Airhitch, an organization founded by students for students -- but available to all travelers -- to provide low-cost ``hitches`` on regularly scheduled or charter airline flights.
To stick your thumb out, you send in a full payment plus pertinent information: the five-day period you`d like to travel to Europe and back, your preferred departure dates (including earliest and latest) and preferred destination (with two alternates). You`ll receive a voucher for the payment. Then you contact Airhitch the Wednesday before the first day of your five-day window, when you`ll be given several flight options to choose from.
The hitch is that you must be free to leave any of the five days, and if you don`t fly within your five-day range, you forfeit your right to a cash refund (although you can schedule another trip).
Cost for a voucher to Europe from the East Coast is $160 one way, from the West Coast $269 and from elsewhere, when available, $229. December through April, the company also has Sunhitch flights to the Caribbean and Mexico for $189 round trip from the East Coast. For information: Airhitch, 2790 Broadway, Suite 100, New York, N.Y. 10025, 1-212-864-2000.
-- Advisory watch: The State Department has warned all Americans traveling or residing in Europe, Africa and the Middle East that they are under an increased security risk because of the recent killing of Hezbollah leader Sheik Abbas Musawi. Americans in those regions could be the targets of terrorist action, including kidnappings, with Hezbollah officials reportedly calling for ``vengeance against the U.S.`` Although the State Department has received no information about specific threats, in his statement deputy spokesman Richard Boucher cautioned against the likelihood of terrorist actions ``for which we have no forewarning.`` The situation in Lebanon, he emphasized, is particularly dangerous for Americans; U.S. passports remain invalid for travel to, through or in that country.

VANCOUVER (NEWS 1130) – The Royal couple, William and Catherine, is coming to BC this weekend, including a couple stops in Vancouver. However, protecting arguably two of the most recognizable people in the world comes with challenges.
Police rehearsing with a motorcade near the BC Legislature. #RoyalVisit #Victoria #YYJ pic.twitter.com/O34k1kUpMm
— Kyle Donaldson (@donaldsonkyle) September 22, 2016
Vancouver Police and RCMP are both involved, but the two forces aren't out-sourcing all of their protection. "The Royals travel with a group called SO14, which is the [London] Metropolitan Police Force special trained group," explains international security consultant David Hyde.
The Duke and Duchess consider it an honour to be visiting Canada and are very much looking forward to #RoyalVisitCanada!
— Kensington Palace (@KensingtonRoyal) September 12, 2016
The couple is having its own armoured vehicles shipped from London. And specialized officers will be the closest to the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge when they make their two public appearances, including one at the Kitsilano Coast Guard Station on Sunday that will include a visit from Prime Minister Justin Trudeau. The other takes place at Jack Poole Plaza that same morning.
The Duke & Duchess will spend the final day of #RoyalVisitCanada in Victoria visiting a number of social care and mental health charities.
— Kensington Palace (@KensingtonRoyal) September 12, 2016
Any adoring fans that get a chance to meet them, won't be picked at random. "Those folks will have been screened. There will have been some pre-emptive steps taken to make sure the locations are secure. And so anyone meeting with the Royals, there will be various levels of security around those interactions," says Hyde.
But it's their un-published itinerary, including a trip to Vancouver's Downtown Eastside that can create the biggest hurdle for those in charge of protecting the couple.
Their movements will be a closely-guarded secret. "It's called the principal of least privilege. Only the folks that need to know anything about the visit will be told. And only the limited information that they need to know," says Hyde.
He adds unexpected stops, can be a major inconvenience. "The Royals may say 'Well we need to make this stop, there's something not on schedule that now needs to take place.' The Pope is famous for making those unscheduled stops. There can be a struggle sometimes between the dignitary being protected like the Royals, and the security to say well, 'Security says no deviations. We have a plan and the plan is there for your protection.'"

Garage Glamorous
I just love this new line from Erin Kleinberg. The soft T-shirts, tank tops and cardigans with chain detailing are so cool. You can wear them with distressed jeans and studded booties, or as mini shirt dresses with sheer black tights, as good friend and model Theodora Richards does for the Lookbook of the line. I wish I could afford a piece!
I just love the outfits that she wears in this vid: La_Roux-Bulletproof; love the song too, it sticks in your head.

Gratuitously Self-RighteousDecember 14th, 2009 by Fast Eddie
Or something like that… I'm never one for self-gloating or promotion, but the way this recent project turned out and the people involved, I felt inclined to share. Goose and I had the chance to collaborate with our good buddies Danny and Shawn of The Lovewright Co. recently on an artist series redux for one of their seasons. I've known Danny for awhile now, since our two brands have grown along together simultaneously, collaborating with each other quite often. It is good to surround yourself with good peoples to work with and I am nothing but proud to always work with him and call him a friend. Our other good buddy and all around ruler, Paul Sun of The Social Trust, so graciously and expertly shot the photos for the look book. Check em out…

Ottawa, Tuesday June 21, 2011
What a pleasure it is for me to celebrate National Aboriginal Day with you.
And what an honour to join with you to commemorate the 10th Anniversary of the National Aboriginal Monument, and to reflect upon the sacrifices that thousands of Aboriginal men and women made for our freedom.
Sacrifice is not a word we use very often anymore. Indeed, it is a word that makes many of us uncomfortable. A word that many of us hope to avoid. A word that runs contrary to what so many of us strive for each and every day. A word that forces us to consider whether we could surrender all that we hold dear for the sake of another.
This Monument is a testament to sacrifice. It is a solemn reminder of those who put our comfort ahead of their own. Who gave up their hopes and dreams so that ours could come true. Who yielded their potential for our gain. And who laid down their lives so we could be free.
Since Canada's earliest days, the First Nations, Métis and Inuit peoples have given much to forge and sustain peace within our own borders and around the world. They have overcome cultural challenges to help shape Canada into what it has become today. And they have served and sacrificed with honour, distinction, courage and resolve in ways that conveyed time-honoured traditions and deeply-held beliefs.
Their contributions in uniform have long been acknowledged. Just listen to the words of the 1918-1919 Indian Affairs' Annual Report:
"The Indians of Canada may look with just pride upon the part played by them in the Great War, both at home and on the field of battle. They have well and nobly upheld the loyal traditions of their gallant ancestors … and have added thereto a heritage of deathless honour which is an … inspiration for their descendants."
What a legacy those men and women have left! What an example their service has provided!
May this Monument continue to perpetuate that legacy in the years to come. May it remind our children's children of the sacrifices that were made on their behalf. May it compel Canadians to always give thanks for the blessings that we so richly enjoy. And may it move each and every one of us to serve in keeping with the debt we cannot ever hope to repay.

With an eye toward addressing the industrywide challenges of effective client profiling, Omyen Corp. has developed the Personal Financial Index.
The index, derived from an individual's financial health benchmarks, is similar in concept to a Fico score. Data are combined, weighted and entered into a straightforward "wizard" that requires detailed input in the areas of personal debt, savings discipline and personal risk management.
The result is a final score that can reach a maximum of 750. The higher the score, the better the client's financial health.
The index, which can be tied in with a suite of software programs that Omyen offers, is being marketed to financial advisers and broker-dealers.
"Advisory firms license our technology and have it branded as well ... [They] pay us either a flat monthly fee or a small monthly fee plus a fee based on the utilization. The value to these firms is warm-leads generation and lead conversion," said Dinesh Sharma, Omyen's founder and the creator of the index.
Omyen provides financial advice technologies to the financial services industry.
"Our goal is also to have financial advisers consider every financial transaction in terms of what it does to their clients' PFI score," Mr. Sharma said.
"There hasn't been a serious effort from financial institutions to look at a customer holistically, partly because a single financial institution may not have all the financial products required," he said.
"Historically, the financial services industry is transaction-oriented. You come up with a product — whether it's a life insurance product, investment or what have you — and the idea is to figure out a way to sell it," Mr. Sharma said.
Therefore, developing this tool required "a lot of hard work in understanding and analyzing issues across a set of financial disciplines," he said.
"The PFI allows the client to be educated at their own pace. It's a diagnostic tool first, as opposed to just jumping into a plan and then learning where the client is," said Ray Shreder, director of investment management services for the Shreder Investment Consulting Group LLC.
He recently purchased the software for his practice.
"We like that it gives us an "arm's length' from the client because it is an externally developed, rules-based tool," Mr. Shreder said.
"[The wizard that one fills out to determine their index] is deceptively simple-looking and captures the benefits of financial planning in the front end of the profiling process," said Scott Stathis, managing director of Kehrer-LIMRA. The firm does research and consulting for bank brokerage operations.
Mr. Shreder and Mr. Stathis were provided by Omyen as people to contact about the index and the software. Profiling is a hot topic in the best-practices research at Mr. Stathis' firm. Banking institutions "are always looking for ways to increase product distribution effectiveness, and this may be a good tool," he said.
A simple score will compel clients to action better than a long, detailed profile document, said Mr. Stathis, who has reviewed the product. Several of his clients are considering the software, which was launched in July.
"A financial plan is very intimidating for a layperson, but an index can produce meaningful value and be simple and easy to understand," Mr. Sharma said.
"At the end of the PFI exercise, there is a specific call to action to direct a consumer to the advisory firm. It creates a sense of urgency," he said.
"Once prospective customers decide to work with the advisory firm, our platform allows them to share their information with the firm, avoiding any data re-entry," Mr. Sharma said.
Client data can automatically integrate with other components of the index, including a customized financial plan, a customized asset allocation, a retirement income planner, a risk capacity index and a retiree health care planner, which is in development.
Advisers must be careful about introducing a client to the index .
"I like the idea, but it could set up a hopelessness that I don't want to coach [clients] down from," said Saundra Davis, an adviser with Sage Financial Solutions Inc., who works primarily with lower- and middle-income clients.
"Some personalities will become motivated by a low score, while others may get overwhelmed by it," she said.
"I'm reluctant to put another number on people that would make them feel worse off. Not just lower-income clients; we're talking about regular middle-income America now."
Simplifying financial planning concepts for the public is key, according to Charles Farrell, principal with Northstar Investment Advisors LLC, who has also developed a personal-finance-related index — the Money Mass Index. This tool looks at the relationship among a person's investible assets, debt and household income.
A complementary concept to the Personal Financial Index, the Money Mass Index is among a range of tools offered within Mr. Farrell's book, "Your Money Ratios: 8 Simple Tools for Financial Security" (Avery, 2009), which is geared toward the general public.
"The ratios give you benchmarks at every age," he said.
Individuals read the book to understand the fundamental concepts behind the tools, accessing them online via a code in the book.
"The easier you can make the goals for people, the more likely they can achieve them. The more math you can take out, the better," Mr. Farrell said.

Watch this story get buried. Islam is not to be questioned.
This story will be buried... unless they can somehow pin this on a White Christian hetrosexual male, then the story won't be buried, all you will hear in the media is "White rightwing Christian" (think Norway)
"Watch this story get buried. Islam is not to be questioned."
Contrast that with the white Norwegian gunman. It seemed like in a few minutes we had a full profile (right-wing, christian, etc) and knew all about his facebook page. Hmmm


text: There seems to be no rhyme or reason whatsoever. Topics that I've just posted in dissapear and can no longer be found (has occurred on several ocassions) and other topics that I've posted in days ago are present on the first page, while topics that I've posted in an hour ago are missing. I don't understand how the site has been revamped but I find the new format of the boards to be extremely frustrating and not user friendly at all.

My father, Jack Allen (John Alfred Allen), was born 26 August 1923 in Bingley, West Yorkshire. He was married to my mother Audrey (Doris Audrey Hird). Jack Allen died on the 11th November 2012. Before he died we made a number of recordings of Jack talking about his life.
The Stevenson Trail
The Stevenson Trail (Le Chemin de Stevenson) retraces the route followed by Robert Louis Stevenson, as set out in 'Travels with a Donkey in the Cévennes' (published 1879), one of his earliest published works. The trail weaves southwards for about 140 miles through the Cevennes from Le Monastier. It is a wonderful walk.

"I purchased it to prevent allergic symptoms. It starts to produce positive effects after being switched on!"
One of my family member has allergic symptoms. She was using another negative ion generator manufactured by another company but it broke down. I found the IONION while searching for a new negative ion generator for outdoor use. It gradually starts to produce positive effects after being switched on. This product is great because it does not produce odors. She didn't like the odor released by the old one. We are going to order another one.It gradually starts to produce positive effects after switched on. This product is great because it does not produce odors.

"It looks more stylish than others. It is convenient as it runs on 1x UM3!"
I decided to purchase the IONION after comparing it with another negative ion generator. I like the design and it runs on 1x UM3. The product manufactured by another company generates more negative ions but it runs on a button-shaped battery. It may weight less but dry batteries are easier to get. It is also great that the ozone production of the IONION is far below the safety standard.

"I have the sore/bloodshot/itchy eyes caused by hayfever. The symptoms improve!"
I always wear it when I go out because it alleviates the symptoms of hayfever. I found positive effects particularly on the eyes. I used to had bloodshot eyes about three times a week, which made me difficult to keep the eyes open. I still have itchy eyes but applying eye drops twice a day makes me fine.

I enjoy the negative ion effects. I sit surrounded by PC's during work hours. I often get irritated as a headache usually starts early in the evening and that makes it difficult for me to concentrate on my duties. The IONION helps to alleviate these symptoms and I can relax and concentrate on my duties.

The Associated Press has named Lisa J. Adams, a veteran AP staffer who has worked in the U.S. and overseas, to assistant South regional editor.
Adams, 50, has been with the AP since 1992, starting in the Hartford, Conn., bureau before transferring first to the former General Desk and then the International Desk. She has been a key editor on the Latin America desk since 2008, playing a lead role in the AP's coverage of elections, natural disasters, and news throughout Mexico and Central and Latin America.
In her new role, she will supervise the South region's editing desk and work with staff throughout the region, which consists of 13 states _ Maryland, Delaware, Tennessee, Kentucky, West Virginia, Virginia, North and South Carolina, Georgia, Alabama, Mississippi, Louisiana and Florida _ and the District of Columbia.
Her appointment was announced Wednesday by South Region Editor Lisa Marie Pane.
As a correspondent in Mexico and Central America for eight years and a Latin America Desk editor for more than three years, Adams has covered, coordinated, overseen and filed stories on everything from the historic Mexican elections of 2000 that ushered in democracy for the first time in seven decades to the military coup in Honduras and the rescue of 33 trapped Chilean miners. She also has worked during temporary stints in Cuba, Pakistan and Jerusalem.

During a recent hospitalization for a complicated endocrine crisis, my WBC would jump
from 80,000 one day to 117,000 the next, down to 78,000 the next and back up to 110,000.
I understand the body sends out lymphocytes in time of stress. Question....do the cells migrate back to bone marrow, spleen, etc? How can such fluctuation be explained?
Thank you for your thoughts.

Happy Monday gang! I hope you all enjoyed your weekend. I spent mine relaxing and doing a few projects around my house. I also took some time to do some double stamping nail art. I always love the look of this stamping technique but rarely do it myself. And then I see it on other people and go, "Dude I do. Why are you not doing more of THAT?!" And for the record - yes, I sometimes refer to myself and others as "dude". Don't ask me why.
Tools used:
MoYou London Tropical Plate 02
Clear Stamper
Creative Stamper Scraper
Ellagee Lickity Split Liquid Latex
Polishes used:
Essie Mint Candy Apple
Hit the Bottle As Black as Night and Snowed In
KBShimmer Clearly on Top
I started with two coats of Mint Candy Apple and a coat of Clearly on Top. I then stamped on my flower image with Snowed In and followed up with Black as Night I was careful not to place the black direct over the white but slight off center so that both would be visible). I then finished with another coat of Clearly on Top.
Okay, so let's talk about Essie Mint Candy Apple. It's one of Essie's most popular polishes and this is my second bottle after having gone through the first rather quickly (I love mint green polish). But...this isn't mint green. Like - at all. It's more of an icy almost "Tiffany" blue. I purchased this bottle on eBay a few years ago as a replacement and I hadn't really touched it since then. I didn't know if maybe I was just remembering the color wring but, it's called MINT Candy Apple - and there definitely used to be mint in there! And so I Googled it to see other swatches and found this rather interesting blog post by Essie Envy talking about the mystery of the two different colored Mint Candy Apples. Apparently there had been a bad batch of the polish released a few years back in 2015 (right when I got mine) that had too much blue in it. The issue has since been corrected and the color is now the mint green it was supposed to be. Which means I will now have to buy another bottle because I want my mint green!
Do any of you have the blue version of Mint Candy Apple as well? If so, let me know in the comments!

Q: How big is the program?
A: Our program is fairly small, with ~15-20 active students in the program and ~12 actively involved faculty. This means small class sizes in our core courses (8-12 students), lots of one-on-one attention, and abundant opportunities for research and internships.
Q: Do you provide funding for grad students?
A: Each year we offer a number of $8000 Teaching Assistantships to qualified students, including incoming graduate students. Teaching Assistantships require that students teach two 3-hour undergraduate laboratory sections per week during the Fall and Spring semesters. If you are interested in applying for a Teaching Assistantship position, please indicate your interest in the cover letter of your application. Teaching Assistantships are typically awarded in May.
Additionally, there are a number of funding opportunities available to graduate students enrolled in the program. Most of these opportunities are only to available once you become an enrolled CSU Stanislaus student. Our university awards a large number of graduate assistantship positions (~25 per semester), and students in our department have been selected at a high rate (~50% award rate). Faculty members occasionally have grant-funded research projects that employ grad students to work on research projects. The Biology Department also provides research funds for supplies and travel on a competitive basis. Many of our students work part-time for local environmental agencies, and we make an effort to help place students in paid positions whenever possible. Despite recent tuition increases, the cost of tuition in the Cal State system remains relatively low compared to nearly all private and public universities. The cost of living in the San Joaquin Valley is much lower than in other parts of California.
Q: How competitive are admissions to your program?
A: We have a fairly high rate of acceptance of applicants who meet our minimum criteria (>3.0 GPA; undergraduate major in biology, environmental science, or related science; all pre-requisite courses completed). We also occasionally accept promising students who do not meet the minimum requirements in a provisional status, with the understanding that they will make up required courses or raise their GPA in the first semester at CSU Stanislaus.
Q: Do I need to have a faculty member accept me into his/her lab in order to be admitted to the program?
A: No, you do not need to receive a commitment from a specific professor prior to being admitted to the program. However, you should spend some time familiarizing yourself with the research interests of the faculty, and we encourage applicants to email faculty members they are interested in working with about their interests. Students whose research interests are aligned with one or more faculty members will be looked upon favorably during the application review process. Students will meet with faculty during their first semester and select a graduate advisor by the end of the first semester.
Q: Can students work part- or full-time jobs while in the program? What time of day are your classes?
A: Some of our students work part-time, off-campus jobs while they are in the program. It is nearly impossible to work a full-time job and make progress on your degree, however, even if the job offers flexible scheduling. All classes are offered on weekdays. Some grad classes, such as seminars, are offered in the evening. Most other classes, especially classes that involve labs or field work, meet in the afternoon. Although grad classes are all offered in the afternoon and evening, undergraduate classes (such as 4000-series ecology and economics courses) may be offered earlier in the day. We encourage our students, if at all possible, to remain full-time students with minimal (<15 hours/week) off-campus work positions. On-campus paid work is often available to qualified students in the form of teaching or research assistantships. For students who need to work off-campus, the program has relationships with several nearby natural resources and environmental agencies and organizations that often hire graduate students in a field related to their academic interests.

Newsquest's planned purchase of 23 titles in the Greater London area from Independent News & Media has been referred to the Competition Commission.
The CC will have to report back to competition minister Melanie John-son by 19 August. In referring the deal, she said: "I reviewed all relevant issues, including competition, concentration of ownership, employment and the need for accurate presentation of news and free expression of opinion.
"This is a large deal and I consider that the proposed transfers give rise to potential concerns regarding concentration of ownership of titles that merit further investigation of the transfers as a whole by the commission before consent could be given."

An injunction is a court order that legally obliges an individual or an organisation to take certain actions – or to desist from certain actions. Very often they are used to address an urgent threat to your business's or individual wealth.
In the business world there are many possible scenarios which might prompt a company to seek an injunction. They are usually serious issues which could cause real and lasting damage to the company if not tackled.
Injunctions can be sought to: prevent infringement of copyright, trade marks or intellectual property rights; prevent the use of confidential information and trade secrets; prevent an ongoing breach of contract or the breach of a restrictive covenant or prevent publication of false and defamatory information.

Infosys job ad automatically rejected older workers, claims lawsuit
The EEOC also told DeVito that it was unsuccessful in an attempt "to facilitate a successful conciliation" between the parties. The EEOC decided not to bring a lawsuit, but told DeVito that he had a right to sue. The EEOC doesn't file lawsuit every time it rules a complainant was discriminated against.
That lawsuit was filed late last month.
According to U.S. labor data, the recession hit older tech workers hard . For computer professionals, age 55 years and older, the unemployment rate jumped overall from 6% to 8.4% from 2009 to 2010. For men it was 8% and for women, 9.4%.
Most of Infosys workers in the U.S. are from India and are using either H-1B or L-1 visas. But a recent lawsuit also cites its use of the B-1 visa , a visitor visa. Last fall Infosys said it had plans to hire 1,000 U.S. workers.
DeVito is seeking a jury trial and damages.

He is the subject of this documentary and captures his life story, his political and artistic motivations ┬Āas they unravel through the documentary.
This was my maiden audio-visual exercise immediately following my course at OCIC.

Alcohol, drugs and smoking are a menace to society and all taken together is projected as a despot that ruins life. This┬Ā projection is used to convey the message that this despot needs to be conquered and eradicated.
The visual medium is considered a strong communication medium and was thus chosen as a tool to develop a teaching guide that could be used as a discussion-provoking programme for training rehabilitation instructors at ADIC (Alcohol Drug Information Center). The production was based on script that was chosen from an island wide competition.

The bug is white with two little legs. Kind of like a white fly bug that you find on stems of carrots. The puppy has bumps all over its coat. Is this due to the bugs? I am wondering if I should take the dog back to were I bought it from to get my money back. He is a heathy dog otherwise. Can anyone help? Snowstress, Wisconsin

Obesity Tilts Breast Cancer Cells toward Metastasis by Suppressing Metabolic Enzyme
Obesity can promote the spread of breast cancer by inhibiting a metabolic enzyme, acetyl-coenzyme A-carboxylase 1 (ACC1), a central component of fatty acid synthesis. The inhibition of ACC1, report scientists based at Helmholtz Zentrum München, triggers a series of molecular events that culminates in the induction of metastasis.
The scientists also say that blocking this inhibition, via a receptor-blocking antibody, reduced the spread of breast cancer in an experimental model. Such interventions, the scientists suggest, represent a "metabolocentric" approach, one that could add to treatment options for preventing breast cancer metastasis and recurrence
Details of the scientists' work appeared October 19 in the journal Cell Metabolism, in an article entitled "Acetyl-CoA Carboxylase 1-Dependent Protein Acetylation Controls Breast Cancer Metastasis and Recurrence." The article noted that ACC1 phosphorylation was increased in invading cells both in murine and human breast cancer, serving as a point of convergence for leptin and transforming growth factor-β (TGFβ) signaling.
"ACC1 is a key component of fatty acid synthesis," said Mauricio Berriel Diaz, Ph.D., a senior author of the current study and deputy director of the Institute for Diabetes and Cancer (IDC) at Helmholtz Zentrum München. "However, its function is impaired by the cytokines leptin and TGFβ." The levels of these cytokines are increased particularly in the blood of severely overweight subjects.
The number of people with obesity is increasing rapidly worldwide. The German Cancer Research Center (DKFZ) recently reported that according to the World Health Organization (WHO) the number of children and adolescents with obesity increased tenfold between 1975 and 2016. Besides inducing cardiovascular diseases and other diseases, obesity also promotes the development of cancer and metastases.
Although obesity has been known to be associated with the enhanced spread of cancer, the underlying mechanisms have often remained obscure. One mechanism, however, has been delineated in the current study.
"ACC1 phosphorylation was mediated by TGFβ-activated kinase (TAK) 1, and ACC1 inhibition was indispensable for the elevation of cellular acetyl-CoA, the subsequent increase in Smad2 transcription factor acetylation and activation, and ultimately epithelial-mesenchymal transition and metastasis induction," wrote the authors of the Cell Metabolism article. "ACC1 deficiency worsened tumor recurrence upon primary tumor resection in mice, and ACC1 phosphorylation levels correlated with metastatic potential in breast and lung cancer patients."
Essentially, the scientists demonstrated that the described inhibition of ACC1 leads to the accumulation of the fatty acid precursor acetyl-CoA. This precursor is transferred to certain gene "switches" that in turn increase the metastatic capacity of cancer cells by activating a specific gene program.
"Using human tissue from breast cancer metastases, we were able to show that ACC1 was significantly less active there," said Marcos Rios Garcia, Ph.D., first author of the study. When the scientists blocked the newly uncovered signaling pathway with an antibody (directed against the leptin receptor), this led to a significantly reduced metastatic spread of breast cancer tumors in an experimental model.
In the future, the researchers want to substantiate the data on the newly discovered mechanism in further studies. In addition, they are also considering related intervention points that could possibly be exploited therapeutically.
"Blocking the signaling pathways and switching off the metastasis-related genes could be a therapeutic target," noted Stephan Herzig, Ph.D., co-senior author of the article and director of the IDC and professor for Molecular Metabolic Control at Technische Universität München and Heidelberg University Hospital. "As part of the so-called neoadjuvant therapy, the risk of metastases or the recurrence of tumors could be reduced prior to the surgical removal of the tumor."

What is Medical Intuitive? An holistic energetic healing journey based on balancing the physical, mental, spiritual and emotional body. An alchemistic blend of neuro scientific practices to allow you to access your subconscious state and body consciousness.
Many clients report feeling more relaxed, centred, with more clarity and insight, and able to can feel energetic and psychical shifts as a result of the balance. A sense of "lightness" and clearer connection is obtained, allowing you to take on the everyday demands of life from a place of balance. Most importantly, a session will help you to realign with your brilliance, and your higher purpose and potential here in this life. To help you co-create a life of your dreams.
Some of the main benefits are:
- Creation of a sense of space in your life and reduction in stress
- A deep sense of peace, balance and renewed sense of purpose
- Increased energy levels
- Improved confidence & self esteem
- Deeper alignment with your calling and life path
- Reduction in physical and emotional pain
- Allowing you to see and reach your full potential
- Help you to find contentment within the present conditions of your life
- Find a renewed sense of optimism and excitement about your future
- Set a positive intention and find a path for your future
Medical Intuitive sessions
- Stress, anxiety & depression
- Defining life purpose & dharma
- Physical, mental & emotional imbalances
- Self love, self esteem & body image issues
- Chronic illness and injuries
- Fear of flying, travel, public speaking
- Grief, loss and life change adjustment
- Life and business vision mentoring
We first discuss the reasons why you were called to book in with me. I hold the space for you, and as you talk I tune in and get a sense of the best techniques to suit you and your path. I might ask you to lay on the massage table (fully clothed) or we may do the whole session seated, or over the phone/skype. Using muscle testing (getting an energetic and electrical reading from the body) we work towards the goal using a balancing technique specific for your being.
I use a combination of the following techniques:
- Tapping ( Emotional Freedom Technique)
- Visualisation
- Meditation
- Vocal Toning & Sound Therapy
- Medical Intuitive Techniques
- Aromatherapy
- Breathwork
- Muscle Testing
- Acupressure
- Goal Setting
- Oracle cards
- Crystal Grids
- Sacred Geometry
Your session will be unique and tailored to you according to your own individual needs and intentions with the sessions. We will work together to create a plan to help you achieve the outcomes you are looking for. It's really important to keep in mind that Medical Intuition is not a "silver bullet" solution, and in my work with clients I do encourage you to make sure you commit to actions outside your sessions also to reinforce the work that is done in the healing space. When you are ready to do the work, the transformation unfolds.

Creative Moments- Tree Chalkboard08:14
When Lee and I got engaged and picked our venue we knew we wanted our 'theme' to fit the surroundings. As we are getting married in a wonderful old barn we wanted to give the barn a rustic, wood and elegant feel to it. Coming up with decor ideas isn't really hard when you have Pinterest at your finger tips and I knew that I wanted to use tree cuttings for something and when I came across this wonderful idea to use them as chalkboards. It is so simple and although mine need a little work I am so pleased with them and I can't wait to use them on the big day.
If anyone has their own Pinterest please do follow me here: Ivory Faces Pinterest

Marinade Basics
March 7, 2010
I am very lazy when it comes to going to the grocery store. This is what caused me to become good at improvising. When I'm missing an ingredient from a recipe, I am much more likely to change the recipe slightly and make a substitution from something in my pantry then I am to go to the grocery store next to my apartment. Literally, next to my apartment. It's actually a little embarrassing, but it did make me develop mad improvising skillz! After a few mishaps, I became good at improvising by doing a little research. A lot of cooking runs on general principles. One such principle, that will make your kitchen life exponentially easier and more exciting, is the Marinade Principle. All marinades are comprised of three components: A fat (almost always olive oil), an acid (usually vinegar or citrus), and an aromatic (herbs and/or garlic).
Last night, Will and I had a swordfish filet we'd bought on super sale at Sunflower Farmer's Market. We wanted to marinate it but let me tell you, our cupboard was BARE. I looked up a few recipes for swordfish marinades on cooks.com. I saw a few recurring themes among various swordfish marinades: lemon for the acid, thyme and garlic for the aromatic. So I made up a marinade using olive oil, lemon juice and zest, minced garlic, thyme, salt, and pepper. I dumped it over my swordfish, sealed it in a plastic bag, let it sit in the fridge for an hour, flipping it on the opposite side at the 30 minute mark. I took it out of the bag, placed in on a cookie sheet, and broiled it on each side until they became golden brown (about 7 minutes per side). I boiled the remaining marinade and served it over the fish as a sauce. This swordfish was delicious, and I never had to leave my apartment.
I really encourage you to marinate your meats and fishes. Even just a little time in a marinade (30 minutes) can bring the protein to a whole new level of flavor. Marinades are cheap and easy to make once you get the hang of them. After you take out your protein, boil the marinade and serve it over the protein as a sauce.
So, a summary of how I improvise: Google general principles of what you are trying to make. Look up some recipes with good ratings. See what you have in your pantry and fridge, and where those ingredients overlap with what you've read on the internet. Then, experiment! Even if you mess up and have to go out to the store, it's no worse than the fact that you would have had to go to the store if you'd followed a recipe in the first place.
1 lemon
3 cloves garlic, minced
3 tablespoons olive oil
1 teaspoon thyme
1 teaspoon pepper
1/2 teaspoon salt
Zest and juice the lemon. Place all ingredients in a bowl, mix together, pour over 3/4-1lb fish. Let sit in refrigerator for 1-2 hours.

After all my years of cooking, I never look at preparing a marinade from a technical perspective. Brilliant! You've broken down the barriers to a simple preparation.
Love, Mom
September 9, 2010 at 2:56 pm
[…] a handful of recipes. But, since a marinade is composed of a fat, an acid, and an aromatic (see my Marinade Basics) and since we had lamb in our fridge, Will and I used it to marinate and then sprinkle over the […]

Whoa, don't know what's cooler: the fact that this advice/recipe was so spot and delicious (I subbed rosemary in for thyme since I have not yet totally killed my little rosemary tree), or that I made it exactly one year after it was posted….?!?!
I come here all the time for fresh ideas, and to figure out how to cook something I already have in mind. This was my first fish, and first marinade – so THANKS so much for the helpful post!

By Northside Digital Marketing
01/28/2017 To put it simply, Digital Marketing is a term used for the advertising of products or services using digital technologies. Mostly done on the Internet, but includes mobile phones, display advertising, and any other digital medium. There are a range of tactics and assets that fall under the umbrella of digital marketing. And the best digital marketers have a clear picture of how each asset or tactic supports their overall goals.
These are some of the most common assets:
- Your company's website
- Blog posts
- Ebooks and whitepapers
- Infographics
- Interactive tools
- Social media channels (Facebook, LinkedIn, Twitter, Instagram, etc.)
- Earned online coverage (PR, social media, and reviews)
- Online brochures and lookbooks
- Branding assets (logos, fonts, etc.)
The most common tactics:
Search Engine Optimisation (SEO) is the process of optimising your website to 'rank' higher in search engine results pages, therefore increasing the amount of organic (or free) traffic that your website receives.
Content Marketing is the creation and promotion of content assets for the purpose of generating brand awareness, traffic growth, lead generation, or customers.
Inbound Marketing refers to the 'full-funnel' approach to attracting, converting, closing, and delighting customers using online content.
Social Media Marketing is the practice of promoting your brand and your content on social media channels to increase brand awareness, drive traffic, and generate leads for your business.
Pay-Per-Click (PPC) is a method of driving traffic to your website by paying a publisher every time your ad is clicked. One of the most common types of PPC is Google AdWords.
Affiliate Marketing is a type of performance-based advertising where you receive commission for promoting someone else's products or services on your website.
Native Advertising refers to advertisements that are primarily content-led and featured on a platform alongside other, non-paid content. BuzzFeed sponsored posts are a good example, but many people also consider social media advertising to be 'native' for example, Facebook and Instagram advertising.
Marketing Automation refers to the software that exists with the goal of automating marketing actions. Many marketing departments have to automate repetitive tasks such as emails, social media, and other website actions.
Email Marketing - Companies use email marketing as a way of communicating with their audiences. Email is often used to promote content, discounts and events, as well as to direct people towards the business' website.
Online PR is the practice of securing earned online coverage with digital publications, blogs, and other content-based websites. It's much like traditional PR, but in the online space.
There are other ways and further means to advertising on online through the forms of Digital Marketing. But hopefully this covered the basic of what you were wanting to know.
We are an Australia-owned and operated company. A professional agency located in Caboolture South but servicing Australia wide. We provide all forms of online marketing and advertising to suit your budget and needs. We have an excellent record of finding effective solutions in every sector. Our miss…

Well-known Indian filmmaker Sanjay Leela Bhansali was slapped, beaten and had his hair pulled by the "Rajput Karni Sena". The attack occurred on the sets of drama Padmavati. Shri Rajput Karni Sena (SRKS) protestors broke the private security of the set before proceeding to attack the director and vandalize the film's set.
Bhansali's attack wasn't the first on Bollywood, the Indian extremists have always had their reservation regarding Pakistani actors working in Indian film industry. It's time, Indian film industry as a collective to say 'enough is enough'. It's extremely condemnable. The only way to stand up to bullies is to go on the offensive and the industry must come together to put pressure on the government so they could take that target off your back.

HiFi and Film: Diva and La Wally
Catalani's La Wally is a much neglected and seldom staged opera for many reasons. My first encounter was not via records and certainly not in the opera house. The year was 1981, the venue the local movie theater. Jean-Jacques Beineix's Diva was an instant hit, and I certainly enjoyed the film very much and later even got the soundtrack (on LP).
Wilhelmenia Wiggins Fernandez' rendition of the most famous aria in La Wally, "Ebben? Ne andrò lontana", was warm-hearted and touched many people, even brought the opera back from obscurity, at least for a moment. Here you can watch and hear her sing:
If you must compare, here's Callas:
And here's Tebaldi:
You can decide who's your favorite. There's no need to fight like the comments on youtube.

2007 Concept Vehicle of the Year Award Winners
The Concept Vehicle of the Year recognize those vehicles most likely to shape the future of the automobile industry. For 2007 the concept of the year were chosen by a jury of more than two dozen professional automotive journalists from throughout North America that selected the winners from 33 Concept Vehicles and 11 Production Preview Vehicles that made a North American debut during the 2007 Auto Show season.
For 2007 the jury had to choose from 23 outstanding nominees competing for the top honor. Sneaking in at the Detroit Auto Show with some "Thunder From Down Under," GM's Holden division shows that the "retro" craze is as strong as ever with the Holden EFIJY, winner of the 2007 Concept Car of the Year award.
The Jaguar C-XF Concept was honored 2007 Production Preview Vehicle of the Year.
The Truck & SUV category for 2007 produced a truly diverse range of ideas for the future of the light truck market. DaimlerChrysler makes its fourth trip to the podium in this category for 2007, and the second visit for its Jeep brand, with the Jeep Trailhawk concept taking this year's award for Concept Truck of the Year.
The Specialty Concept category recognizes those vehicles outside the mainstream purpose or definition of a car or truck, where the technology, not the package, is the key story. Showcasing a drivetrain and control architecture designed to work with power sources ranging from a fuel cell, to a plug-in hybrid, to a battery-only power supply, the Chevrolet Volt wins the award for 2007 Specialty Concept Vehicle of the Year.
From amongst these four category winners, the Chevrolet Volt was top- scoring vehicle by a wide margin, earning the top spot as "Most Significant Concept Vehicle of 2007."

The Wonders of Modern Technology
I hate technology.
Okay, so the above statement isn't really true, and is a sweeping generalisation, but it gets your attention. What might be a more accurate statement is that technology hates me. I hear you scoffing, but it's true. It's now fairly accepted amongst my close friends that I have Gremlins (a trait from Shadowrun which gives you a chance to break any electrical devices you touch) as well as appalling luck with rolling dice. People hear about this and say "oh, you're imagining it", "confirmation bias", etc, but after spending enough time with me they come to accept it as the truth.
Everyone has found cash machines broken when they needed money, but how about every cash machine within half a mile of the students' union? One of them only broke as soon as I started using it, it asked for my PIN then froze, luckily spitting my card out in the process. Windows crashes all the time, but have you ever managed to crash Linux – twice in half an hour? And when I used to regularly post on D&D online, I had to warn my friends so they could save their posts (and I would save mine) before I actually posted, as the server would frequently collapse when I tried to submit them. I do not understand why this happens around me, but it seems to, and having computers break nearby makes the IT helpdesk part of my job very difficult – as if I didn't already have enough work to do.
The reason I mention all of this is that since Friday, the central heating system in my house has been out of action, due to a leak in one of our radiators. So, for one of the coldest weekends ever recorded in the UK, I was unable to sleep in my attic room which was barely above freezing point, despite having two quilts, a blanket, and being fully dressed. The engineer should have been able to fix it on Friday, but failed to turn up for the entire weekend, and now may not be able to fix it until after Christmas. 2005 was a cold December as well, and that month too I spent without central heating, making it two winters out of the last five I've had to sleep in a room that was barely warmer than being outside. Wonderful.
So it's Monday morning once more, 2.5 more work days until I finish for Christmas, and I feel awful. Hopefully I'll make it through the day without falling asleep at my desk (we all work in one office, including my immediate boss, so I wouldn't get away with it). There is one good point, though – it's warm.

"What do immigrants eat, anyway? Grass?"
"Immigrants are taking over this country, and they need to respect American cuisine like hot dogs and Thai food." Sarah Palin, former governor of Alaska and current seeker of microphones and cameras, shouted yesterday to anyone who would listen. The declaration came just after Palin insisted if immigrants were going to come to America they should speak American, a language that has yet to be invented, but we assume is close to English.
"Immigrants from all over the world are welcome here, but they need to start boosting America's economy by eating American food like pizza and tacos," she continued while several reporters listening began to have seizures. "Furthermore, you know, immigrants need to respect America's greatest men and women like Albert Einstein and Justin Bieber.
She continued for several hours naming her favorite American colors including indigo and orange, as well as her favorite American countries including Europe. At which point all reporters left the scene, somewhat saddened by the shape of our country. The only news source to continue filming this monster of a woman was CNN, which isn't really a news source anyway, so they were cool with her incoherent babble.
