Classics isn't just the study of ancient literature; it is one of the most interdisciplinary courses that institutions offer. A degree in classics will allow students to study languages, history, literature and philosophies of the civilisations of ancient Greece and Rome. Ancient Greece and Rome have had an influence on the cultures that have come after them, and the study of classics gives individuals a better understanding of our identities within the global community.
Classics may be the ideal subject for those students who cannot choose between studying literature, philosophy, history and sociology.
Where certain institutions won't request specific subject grades for entry, it may prove useful to have studied classics subject, or history, or a modern language beforehand to show that students have acquired similar skills. University of Oxford and the University of Cambridge will ask for high-grade requirements, generally AAB-AAA. However, other institutions offer flexibility ranging from BBB and upwards.
Students are advised to check with their chosen universities and degree courses to establish the entry requirements stated for successful admission.
Classics and Ancient History will be available as standalone degree programmes as well as offered as a joint programme (Learn more – Choosing a degree course). Certain universities will have specialised programmes in Greek or Latin for those interested in the ancient languages.
Alternatively, candidates may choose to study a joint honours degree including; History, Philosophy, Linguistics, English Language, or a Modern Language.
This type of degree is a three-year course when studied full-time at university; however, some universities offer a longer course with an extra preliminary or foundation year – this extra year is beneficial for those who have not previously studied Latin. The foundation degree offers students a year before starting their degree to gain a grounding in the language before starting the degree officially.
Each Classic and Ancient History degree will differ in the modules that they have on offer; however, students may expect to study Greek or Latin, or another language.
Studying this degree allows students to study a broad range of subjects, from the drama of Euripides, the history of the Athenian, the poetry of Homer or Virgil, Roman and Persian empires, or the art and archaeology of the Roman Empire.
Candidates will learn through tutorials, lectures and independent study. Assessment will typically include written examinations, coursework, group work and presentations.
Graduates of classics and ancient history are equipped with transferable skills such as the ability to analyse and solve problems, to present clear and persuasive argument and able to interpret information critically.
Classics isn't solely the study of ancient civilisations but also includes how ancient cultures have shaped the way society lives today. This degree will appeal to individuals who want to explore both the past and the present and is ideal for those who don't want to limit themselves and their studies to just one or two subjects.
Although a classics degree doesn't necessarily offer a direct route into any particular career, there is still a range of different employment opportunities which graduates can apply their skills to. Classics graduates use their knowledge of history and ancient culture to begin their careers in the art gallery and museum management and curation industries, as well as work as inspectors or conservationists for the English heritage and the National Trust.
Other graduates may use their language skills to work in Journalism, PR, or become authors. Furthermore, students may wish to study further and become a teacher of philosophy, history, Latin or classics itself.
Classics and ancient history offer a wonderful perspective and a historical awareness to graduates, although no direct job route. This degree will be helpful in certain careers as listed above, or even in archaeology or a museum
Classicists become Teachers, Heritage Professionals, Archivists, Librarians and Museum Curators. However, these employment areas are competitive, and students are advised to conduct research into the career sector of their choice to ensure a classics and ancient history degree will aid their aspirations. Also, graduates with work experience or specialisation within a certain area may find themselves able to secure employment better.
A variety of postgraduate opportunities is available for those wishing to continue their studies, from Classics, Ancient History, Classical Art and Archaeology, Classical Reception studies, and to study even further at PhD level thereafter.
C.S Lewis, author of the Chronicles of Narnia, studied Classics, as well as John Layfield (WWE wrestler) who studied Ancient History at Abilene Christian University. Porter Goss, who was the former head of the CIA had a degree in Ancient Greek from Yale University. J.K Rowling, the author of Harry Potter, studied Classics at the University of Exeter!

Quote:The Fantastic Four issue does resolve it: the Mole Man cured him. It's just rather pat.
Quote:Yes, in #296 they show that the Mole Man uses some machines to stabilize him.
Quote:Did we learn WHY he mutated in the first place? I remember the resolution but I don't remember what caused the mutation to begin with. Was that ever explained?
Yeah, this was my real issue with it. I did have that Mole Man issue to read on the backburner (bad memory there... it's not like I've never read it before) but I didn't get why it happened in the first place.

Faith is the antidote of fear. Hope is the antidote of depression. "Now faith is being sure of what we hope for and certain of what we do not see." Hebrews 11:1 (NIV). Faith is not belief alone, but is the tangible foundation of belief. Faith is a gift of God; however, exercise of faith is our responsibility!
What is FEAR? False Evidence Appearing Real. An unpleasant emotion caused by the belief that someone or something is dangerous, likely to cause pain, or a threat.
What is Hope? A feeling of expectation and desire for a certain thing to happen. HOPE is "Having ONLY POSITIVE expectations
A. Believing in yourself
B. Accepting who you are
C. Loving yourself
D. Recreating yourself
Pro 3: 5-6
Trust in the Lord with all your heart, and do not lean on your own understanding. In all your ways acknowledge him, and he will make straight your paths.
Isaiah 41:10
Fear not, for I am with you; be not dismayed, for I am your God; I will strengthen you, I will help you, I will uphold you with my righteous right hand.
Proverbs 16:9
The heart of man plans his way, but the Lord establishes his steps.
Philippians 4:13
I can do all things through him who strengthens me.
Isaiah 40:31 but they who wait for the Lord shall renew their strength; they shall mount up with wings like eagles; they shall run and not be weary; they shall walk and not faint.
Psalm 30:5
For his anger is but for a moment, and his favor is for a lifetime. Weeping may tarry for the night, but joy comes with the morning.
Hebrews 11:1 now faith is the assurance of things hoped for, the conviction of things not seen.
A. "We know that whoever is born of God does not sin; but he who has been born of God keeps himself, and the wicked one does not touch him. We know that we are of God, and the whole world lies under the sway of the wicked one." 1 John 5:18-19
B. We have power for spiritual warfare: "Behold, I give you the authority to trample on serpents and scorpions, and over all the power of the enemy, and nothing shall by any means hurt you. Nevertheless, do not rejoice in this, that the spirits are subject to you, but rather rejoice because your names are written in heaven." Luke 10:19-20
C. Command the evil spirits to leave. "And from the days of John the Baptist until now the kingdom of heaven suffers violence, and the violent take it by force. " Matthew 11:12

By :Lidia Metuka Almajan Watkins
"Therefore (because He stooped so low), God exalted Him to the highest place, and gave Him THE NAME THAT IS ABOVE EVERY NAME that at the Name of Yeshua every knee should bow - in heaven and on earth and under the earth - and every tongue confess that Yeshua the Messiah is Lord (the Heavenly Master), to the glory of YHWH, God the Father." Philippians 2:5-11
THE NAME I dearly love – the Name I love more than any other name, is not my own name, it is not my husb and's name, nor my son's name. It's not the name of a friend, or someone whom I greatly admire. It is the Name of my FATHER - my HEAVENLY FATHER. And my Father's Name is also included in the Name of His beloved Son - my SAVIOUR - a fact that gives the Son's Name such a significant meaning, and such sweet fragrance.
Many believers have discovered the real, authentic Name of the Heavenly Father. Of course, it has always been there - but it has been long neglected or covered up.
Personally, in discovering the original, revealed Name, I have come to understand in a new and deeper way, the unity of the Father's Name and the Son's Name. With that discovery, there has come also a deep love - a love that makes me want to tell everyone about that wonderful Name. In the words of my Saviour . . .
I WILL SING YOUR PRAISE." Hebrews 2:12
For years I was content to call my Father and my Saviour by the various accepted English titles and substitutes - God, Jehovah, Jesus, Lord, Christ. Then I discovered that these are not the ORIGINAL NAMES of the Father and the Son. God, Lord and Christ, are, in fact, descriptive TITLES, and they are titles that need to be defined, for in the world there are "gods many," and "lords many" - and especially these days, there are many "Christs." 1 Corinthians 8:5. Matthew 24:5
Christians insist rightly, of course, that there is only one true Lord; there's only one true God - the Almighty. But other religions also use the terms "Lord", "God", and "Almighty" in referring to their gods. Therefore we must define what we mean when using these terms - not for our own sake, merely, but for the Truth's sake. Indeed, the eternal destiny of many, depends upon it - the Truth!
Normally we describe the attributes of the One we believe to be "The Lord"; and in so doing, we usually fail to mention His Name. Some even feel that the Almighty God is too big to have a Name, and that it is quite sufficient to refer to Him simply as "God," "Lord," or "Lord God."
In the Preface to its 1973 edition, the Revised Standard Version (1946), expresses this idea when it comments on the Name of God: "(1) the word 'Jehovah' does not accurately represent any form of the Name ever used in Hebrew; and, (2) the use of any proper name for the one and only God, as though there were other gods from whom He had to be distinguished, was discontinued in Judaism before the Christian era, and it is entirely inappropriate for the universal faith of the Christian Church."
Point one is true. "Jehovah" is not a correct form of God's Name. Point two however, is not true!
The ancient Hebrews, several hundred years before Messiah came, began to refrain from speaking the Name out of extreme reverence for the Name. They used the words Adonai (Lord), or Ha Shem (the Name), in its place.
But the Name was WRITTEN, and still is, in the Hebrew Bible. And to maintain that it is inappropriate for God to have a Name in the Christian Church, is absurd! There is not one man on earth who does not have a name. And if there is not a single known species of insect that does not have a name, why should God not have a Name? And certainly the true God MUST be distinguished from the multiplicity of so-called gods. They are false, of course, but to the peoples of the nations they are real. Hindi gods are also referred to as God with a capital G.
It is because of the "God-is-too-big-for-a-Name" attitude that many Christians have defaulted, and settled for using the titles "Lord" and "God" as substitutes for His real Name. It's like saying, about a human father, "Oh, I'm not sure what my father's name is. I just call him 'Daddy'."
Our Heavenly Father DOES have a Name - a Name of which He Himself has declared, "This is My Name forever." That Name is written in the Hebrew Bible 6,855 times. But the Christian Church has largely been robbed of the Name.
to be continued... WHAT IS OUR FATHER'S NAME?
Human Trafficking, Children Sexual abuse, and violence

An estimated one in every three women worldwide experiences violence, with rates reaching as high as 70 percent in some countries. Gender-based violence ranges from rape to domestic abuse and acid burnings to dowry deaths and so-called "honor killings." The problem is not only worldwide, but is prevalent within our churches, and within our nation.
Like most Americans, I am horrified by this violence. In 2009, in a poll three in five American voters said that addressing global violence against women and girls should be one of the top priorities for our government.
A lifetime full of violence is not something that women sign up for. In the Middle East women are being beaten, sexually maimed for religious purposes. What is more horrific is that women from Islamic religions accept the sex-maim procedure for their daughters at an early age. This is child cruelty and abuse. Such practices are performed without anesthesia!
Our government has established laws, but this year President Obama signed a new law which will allow protections against gay, lesbian and transgender victims as well Native Americans, and undocumented immigrants in the reauthorized Violence Against Women Act (VAWA). As a non-profit organization, and as church leaders, we must take action against violence. Domestic violence is a cycle that is not easily overcome. The hatred, anger, control, and manipulation of these individuals is terrifying. How many more must endure the cruelty of abuse by the person whom they love? Many are suffering from post-traumatic stress disorder; depression is on the rise nationwide, and many who are involved in the church or in ministry are cohorts of this crime.
The statistic below were quoted from "In-The-Desert.com"
Mojave, CA, Violent Crime, on a scale from 1 (low crime) to 10, is 6. Violent crime is composed of four offenses: murder and non-negligent manslaughter, forcible rape, robbery, and aggravated assault. The US average is 3.
Mojave, CA, Property Crime, on a scale from 1 (low) to 10, is 6. Property crime includes the offenses of burglary, larceny-theft, motor vehicle theft, and arson. The object of the theft-type offenses is the taking of money or property, but there is no force or threat of force against the victims. The US average is 3.
This is the town were my family and I reside and crimes of passion, or just plain abuse is still prevalent and increasing in our community. Help by making a difference in our community. We need shelters, homes, or a safe haven to place women and children who are in desperate need to escape the fists that are incorporating pain into their bodies.

For those who know me pretty well, know that I hate gossip. As a matter of fact I get very upset when those in the Christian community; our churches, fellowship, and other seminaries get into vain debates about it's memebers.
Speaking evil of another person may seem harmless to you or the listener, but what you are really doing is poisoning yourself, and speaking curses on the person you are speaking about. The bible is very clear when it comes to gossip, envy, and jealousy.
Job_15:5 For thy mouth uttereth thine iniquity, and thou choosest the tongue of the crafty.
Job_20:12 Though wickedness be sweet in his mouth, though he hide it under his tongue;
Job_20:16 He shall suck the poison of asps: the viper's tongue shall slay him.
Job_27:4 My lips shall not speak wickedness, nor my tongue utter deceit.
Speaking evil against anyone is a dangerous weapon that the enemy of our soul uses to kill our reputation, our character and even our lives. Prayer has been removed from school but witchcraft prayers and the way of the pagans is acceptable! Woe unto all of you who have despite the Word of the Creator. What you speak about someone is what reflected in your own heart.

Forest Falls: 7-Year-Old Marissa Trujillo Fatally Injured in Crash
Posted on Mar 07, 2014
At about 2:43 p.m. on Saturday, March 1, 2014, 7-year-old Marissa Trujillo was fatally injured in a crash in Forest Falls, reported The San Bernardino Sun. Trujillo was standing outside of her family's pickup truck, which was parked on the north side of Valley of the Falls Drive, with her father, uncle, and 9-year-old sister when another truck reportedly slid on the slick and icy roadway and crashed into them. Emergency responders transported the family to an area hospital, where Trujillo was declared dead a short time later. Authorities are investigating the accident.
Throughout San Bernardino County, 11,627 people were killed or injured in motor vehicle collisions in 2011, according to the California Office of Traffic Safety. The OTS ranked San Bernardino 38th out of 58 counties for its incidence of fatal and injury crashes in a rating system in which first place is considered the worst. Statewide, 2,791 people lost their lives in crashes that year.
When an accident results in death, the family of the victim may file a civil claim against the negligent party in order to hold them liable for their loss. For more information on the civil claims process, please call 888-752-7474 or contact us online.
All of us at Allen, Flatt, Ballidis, and Leslie would like to offer our condolences to the family of Marissa Trujillo. We would also like to wish those family members who were injured a full recovery.

Jadeveon Clowney came into the league as a highly ranked prospect. Being selected number overall and playing J.J. Watt will do that. The Texans defense already boasted some impressive play makers. Brian Cushing, Whitney Mercilus, Jonathan Joseph, Kareem Jackson and Watt. With the lofty draft status, expectations were high.
Clowney was impressive at South Carolina accumulating eye popping numbers. 129 total tackles including 47 tackles for loss, 24 sacks and nine forced fumbles. These are numbers worthy of a number one overall pick. This dominance at the college level paired with the defense that already existed for the Texans, created high expectations.
His rookie season was a bit of a disappointment. Suffering a torn meniscus and missing the final 12 games of the season. Only accounting for five total tackles, to say this is underwhelming is a bit of an understatement.
As a result of the injury, comparisons of Courtney Brown were rampant. A high profile defensive end with an injury plagued career. Clowney would now have to shake off the injury prone label.
Clowney quickly rebounded his sophomore season managing 27 total tackles and four and a half sacks in 13 games. Appearing in 13 games while starting nine, this was a welcome sight considering his season ending injury the previous season. While the production was not earth shattering it displayed he still had the burst and athleticism necessary to be an elite defensive end.
An unfortunate injury to fellow Texan Watt was a chance for Clowney to fully display his play making ability. The only downfall playing with Watt, is that he is so dominant the chances to make plays for others are few and far between. Clowney made 40 total tackles with six sacks last season. Starting in all 14 games he appeared in, Clowney was able to take another step forward towards becoming the player he was expected to be coming out of college.
This year is the year where Clowney will fully display all of his talents. Having played two seasons since his meniscus injury his rookie year. By now it is all healed and will not hold him back performance wise. Another key progression which is often overlooked is the mental progression. Whether players admit it or not, they are not as mature as the teams expects them to be their first few seasons. This season, Clowney will be turning 24 and will be without a doubt at the level of mental maturity required to take the next step into being an elite NFL player.
With a healthy Watt and a more physically and mentally mature Clowney, opposing offenses will have their hands full. Clowney and Watt are two of the most athletic defensive ends in all of football. Having to try and defend them for 60 minutes is not an easy task. Clowney is going to take advantage of Watt returning to the defense. He will receive only a single blocker compared to the double team Watt will face. This will allow Clowney to be more disruptive than before. He inherited all of the double teams Watt faced when he went down with injury. Now facing single teams, he will be just as dangerous as Watt.
Clowney has improved each year since his injury. What is more important is that he has been physically healthy. His long term health is going to be the key to the long term success of the Texans defense. As long as his production continues to improve with the return of Watt, Houston will be giving everyone else problems.

Data and Privacy. How much is enough
When a trainer at a workshop many years back, showed a packed audience a dozen ghost sites in the background secretly tracking a user on a famous airlines website, it did create panic. Social media websites had just started to become the darling of Digital marketing folks then. Data and Privacy laws since then have continued to remain unclear, uncertain yet glorified.
With the big Facebook breach, we digital marketing and advertising folks are expected to relook at the equation. It also becomes important to understand how we reached here, the extent of the mess and the areas that concern us as we tread the path going forward.
Some of these below areas concern us:
- Our regular tools and our approach to consumer segmentation, targeting and content seeding.
- 'How much of data' is enough and where does the ethical boundary end.
- Practices of unethical fans acquisition and data brokerage rampage.
- Finally, what the consumer wants and the code of ethics.
Let's take a step back. Is this data breach something new? Haven't companies helped clients acquire fans at cheap prices or data brokers with their ability to use big data - connecting dots mapping users' personal information and making inferences for granular targeting.
The key question is if it affects Digital marketing and communication? Yes, but not much, just minor hiccups and some adjustments. We need to understand the real problem. Is it Facebook or how we approach Data and the "deep insights" we demand from these Social networks? We know, our pitches to brands rests on the richness of consumers' data and insights we derive, then leading to the ideas we built on top of them.
Most of this is around the consumers 'personal information', a traditional planner or a digital strategist spending weeks to uncover consumer characteristics, their actions and insights. Folks in Digital have always been beneficiary of gaining access to vast amount of user's personal information, including other aspects like IP, location, Device etc. Most ad networks blindly flock to Google and Facebook because these giants promise granular targeting. As an industry we may have crossed several lines too. We are all responsible for this insane world, we have landed ourselves in.
While we discuss this topic globally, both brands and consumers are in a fix today. Technology and its terrible dependency has made consumers to live in a state of continuous ignorance. Their data exposure starts from their browsing history and goes deeper exposing their likes, tastes, preferences and actions. Additionally, this problem is compounded by Social media giants whose entire premise is based on capturing consumer data details of which consumers aren't really clear about.
Now with GDPR (General Data Protection Regulation) in Europe, and multiple other steps, we hope consumers will know what data is being collected and have the ability to remove their information from the servers if they want to.
We as marketers need to rethink targeting, tracking, privacy, data collection and its ethical usage, all over again. We need to clearly ask, how much of data capture is enough. What is that opt-in or opt-out request likely to be? For once, imagine a No-Data World (NDW), where we have broad segments basis which we devise campaigns and come out with innovative, non intrusive ways to reach out to the consumers. Think how we operate in a kid's world. Advertising may need to get more creative and create deeper meaningful experiences. It may find it a bit difficult to change and adjust, even thought its minor; while consumers will seemingly adjust too, to a privacy based experience going forward knowing clearly what happens to their data.
Facebook or No Facebook, the data privacy issue needs a wider discussion, though we hope these social giants will take positive steps themselves as opposed to being forced by enforcement agencies. They have a responsibility towards society. Facebook did publicly apologise and ensured this won't happen again.
Making users believe its all about connecting the world and then hiding privacy terms under complex reams under settings, needs to go. The era of Mass Customisation and Micro Addressability is being revoked and the future is about to change, yet again. Let's be honest, to start with!

Ford India launches an innovative campaign with Hindustan Times
Ford India has launched a new campaign for their latest launch 'Ford Freestyle'- India's First CUV (Compact Utility Vehicle). Partnered by WPP's GTB (Global Team Blue), the proposition 'Josh Hai Dil Main' celebrates the passion to follow one's heart, for a regret free life.
Commenting on the campaign, Rahul Gautam, VP - Marketing, Ford India, said, "Ford Freestyle is a world-class product that aims to meet aspirations of young, new age 'Optimist' customers… who are progressive, risk takers, fiercely independent and love taking chances in life. The launch campaign takes the Ford brand platform of 'Feels like Family, for a Change' forward by pegging the brand on family values of 'inclusiveness' and 'happiness' that fuels our target mindset to follow their heart with passion and lead a regret-free life". He added "The all new Ford Freestyle, with its powerful (Josheeley) 96 PS engine, and loaded with capabilities like ARP (Active Rollover Protection) is the perfect ally for today's new age Optimists"
Insight Behind the campaign:
Shedding further light on the insight behind the campaign, Gautam said, "These new age customers live by the motto - "I would rather take those chances and follow my passion, than lead a life of regrets." -- Something that inspired us!
The genesis of the campaign finds its roots in the unconventional & progressive mind-set of Ford audience called 'The Optimists'. And taking a unique creative approach, Ford's latest campaign for Freestyle brings alive this audience in the campaign by going beyond stereotypes and showcasing diversity in situations and characters, while being inclusive - a reflection of TG's open mindedness. They have also fused memorable pop culture metaphors to strengthen the relatability quotient, like using the song 'Dil Dhadakne Do' from the movie 'Zindagi Na Milegi Dobara' as the soundtrack to bring zing to the film and bring to life the 'Regret Nothing' attitude."
This campaign is a celebration of inclusivity and diversity of the bold, free spirited young India. "And strengthens Ford's brand platform 'Feels like Family, For a Change', which is at the core of everything we do, For Freestyle we have Inclusivity, which is a core family value, as a key pillar of the campaign." explains Gautam.
To bring alive the spirit of Freestyle, Ford has also done a print Innovation with Hindustan Times, One of the Leading English dailies in the country. The innovation titled 'what happens when a newspaper goes Freestyle?', has been attempted for the first time in the world, where they have shuffled all the different sections in the newspaper, with Sports sections coming first, as it is a passion of their TG. 'We wanted to stay true to the spirit of our CUV Freestyle, and use the newspaper medium dynamically and bring in contextuality with the content and relevance to the newspaper sections". Credit goes to the Team WPP (GTB & Mindshare) to make this unique innovation happen right from idea generation to message creation – added Gautam.
The innovation has started off with a teaser on 26th April – "Ever seen a newspaper go Freestyle" till 28th April and the finally got unveiled on 29th April with dominance across pages of Hindustan Times with contextual messaging appropriately married to the newspaper section and content of the page.
These kind of innovation will surely change the way advertisers had been using print media and will bring in more creativity to the medium.
Rajeev Beotra, CEO, HT English, HT Media Ltd added: "Hindustan Times and WPP group (team GTB/Mindshare) have collaborated for Ford's latest and very promising offering 'Freestyle'. After a lot of deliberation and exchange of ideas, this innovation is the result of keeping the brand message 'Freestyle' at the forefront, where Sunday's Edition of Hindustan Times went 'Freestyle' for its readers by shuffling the sectional sequence, while adding a surprise element to the newspaper. The print industry is uniquely placed in terms of offering innovative opportunities to brands in a credible environment."

Thunder Bay Port Authority Strategic Partners
The Port of Thunder Bay supports the efforts of organizations who are working to benefit the St. Lawrence Seaway and marine transport industry.
Highway H20
Highway H2O is a 3,700 kilometer marine highway. It includes the St. Lawrence River, St. Lawrence Seaway and the Great Lakes. This marketing effort is meant to promote marine traffic on the Seaway and is a joint initiative led by the Canadian and American Seaway forces.
Highway H2O serves important areas of both Canada and the United States. Transporting cargo on the marine highway offers benefits that road transportation cannot as cargo can be transported without congestion resulting in timely deliveries.
Approximately 41 Ports are located along this stretch. Many of these ports as well as several marine associated entities are partnering with Highway H2O to promote activity on Highway H2O.
Ontario Marine Transportation Forum
OMTF is a collaboration of Ontario's marine transportation community including ports, carriers, The St. Lawrence Seaway Management Corporation and other key service providers. Their goal is to more effectively integrate marine transportation into Ontario's transportation infrastructure. The OMTF team is eager to promote marine transportation as the safest, most efficient and environmentally friendly mode of transportation.
Benefits of marine transportation include:
•Reduced traffic and border congestion on the province's highways and border crossings
•Reduced air emissions and fuel consumption; and
•Increased economic prosperity for the province due to improved trade and the movement of goods, vehicles and people.
Green Marine
The Port of Thunder Bay is a participant in the voluntary Green Marine program and is Green Marine certified. The Green Marine program is led by a team of marine industry associations in Canada and the United States. Despite the fact that marine transportation is already one of the most environmentally friendly ways to transport goods, the Green Marine team is furthering the advantages of shipping over other methods of transporting cargo by getting those involved to adopt a program of continuous improvement.

The Stem Cell Niche Should Be a Key Issue for Cell Therapy in Regenerative Medicine Stem Cell Reviews. Jun, 2011 | Pubmed ID: 21052872 Recent advances in stem cell research have highlighted the role played by such cells and their environment (the stem cell niche) in tissue renewal and homeostasis. The control and regulation of stem cells and their niche are remaining challenges for cell therapy and regenerative medicine on several tissues and organs. These advances are important for both, the basic knowledge of stem cell regulation, and their practical translational applications into clinical medicine. This article is primarily concerned with the mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) and it reviews the current aspects of their own niche. We discuss on the need for a deeper understanding of the identity of this cell type and its microenvironment in order to improve the effectiveness of any cell therapy for regenerative medicine. Ex vivo reproduction of the conditions of the natural stem cell niche, when necessary, would provide success to tissue engineering. The first challenge of regenerative medicine is to find cells able to replace and/or repair the lost function of tissues and organs by disease or aging and the trophic and immunomodulatory effects recently found for MSCs open up for new opportunities. If MSCs are pericytes, as it has been proposed, perhaps it may explain the ubiquity of these cells and their possible role in miscellaneous repairs throughout the body opening for new chances for extensive tissue repair.
A Novel Human TGF-β1 Fusion Protein in Combination with RhBMP-2 Increases Chondro-osteogenic Differentiation of Bone Marrow Mesenchymal Stem Cells International Journal of Molecular Sciences. Jun, 2014 | Pubmed ID: 24968268 Transforming growth factor-beta (TGF-β) is involved in processes related to the differentiation and maturation of osteoprogenitor cells into osteoblasts. Rat bone marrow (BM) cells were cultured in a collagen-gel containing 0.5% fetal bovine serum (FBS) for 10 days in the presence of rhTGF (recombinant human TGF)-β1-F2, a fusion protein engineered to include a high-affinity collagen-binding decapeptide derived from von Willebrand factor. Subsequently, cells were moderately expanded in medium with 10% FBS for 4 days and treated with a short pulse of rhBMP (recombinant human bone morphogenetic protein)-2 for 4 h. During the last 2 days, dexamethasone and β-glycerophosphate were added to potentiate osteoinduction. Concomitant with an up-regulation of cell proliferation, DNA synthesis levels were determined. Polymerase chain reaction was performed to reveal the possible stemness of these cells. Osteogenic differentiation was evaluated in terms of alkaline phosphatase activity and mineralized matrix formation as well as by mRNA expression of osteogenic marker genes. Moreover, cells were placed inside diffusion chambers and implanted subcutaneously into the backs of adult rats for 4 weeks. Histological study provided evidence of cartilage and bone-like tissue formation. This experimental procedure is capable of selecting cell populations from BM that, in the presence of rhTGF-β1-F2 and rhBMP-2, achieve skeletogenic potential in vitro and in vivo.
Regenerative Therapies in Dry Eye Disease: From Growth Factors to Cell Therapy International Journal of Molecular Sciences. Oct, 2017 | Pubmed ID: 29143779 Dry eye syndrome is a complex and insidious pathology with a high level of prevalence among the human population and with a consequently high impact on quality of life and economic cost. Currently, its treatment is symptomatic, mainly based on the control of lubrication and inflammation, with significant limitations. Therefore, the latest research is focused on the development of new biological strategies, with the aim of regenerating affected tissues, or at least restricting the progression of the disease, reducing scar tissue, and maintaining corneal transparency. Therapies range from growth factors and cytokines to the use of different cell sources, in particular mesenchymal stem cells, due to their multipotentiality, trophic, and immunomodulatory properties. We will review the state of the art and the latest advances and results of these promising treatments in this pathology.
Repair of Maxillary Cystic Bone Defects with Mesenchymal Stem Cells Seeded on a Cross-linked Serum Scaffold Journal of Cranio-maxillo-facial Surgery : Official Publication of the European Association for Cranio-Maxillo-Facial Surgery. Nov, 2017 | Pubmed ID: 29229365 Tissue engineering combining cross-linked serum scaffolds with bone-derived mesenchymal stem cells has displayed excellent results for repair of maxillofacial bone defects in animal models, but it had not been tested in humans yet. We present here a pilot clinical trial using autologous bone-derived mesenchymal stem cells (H-MSV) grown in a serum cross-linked scaffold (BioMax) for treatment of maxillary cysts in 9 patients. Cells obtained from alveolar bone were seeded in the BioMax scaffold prepared from autologous serum, expanded under GMP conditions, and subjected to osteogenic differentiation for 3-4 weeks before application. Evolution of the cystic cavity was followed by computerized tomography (CT) for 7 months. There was no inflammation or other adverse effects, and the CT density of the cyst interior increased significantly after the treatment. The ratio of the CT values after/before treatment was (mean ± SE) 2.52 ± 0.45; in contrast, the density of the contralateral control area of spongy alveolar bone without treatment did not change (ratio after/before, 0.99 ± 0.14). In conclusion, cell therapy with BioMax could be considered as an alternative therapy for maxillary bone defects and other losses of bone substance. Further research with allogeneic cells would be useful for reducing costs and improving logistics.

Are you a sucker for fan fiction? And you can't resist a good ol' gay romance? No one can – but you can find your real romance on yec.com! Meanwhile, check out these incredible gay romances brought to life by fan fiction!
Benedict Cumberbatch's incarnation of Sherlock has so many nuances and finesse that the fans immediately started speculating about his and Watson's possible romance.
Bucky Barnes and Captain America… where to start? Fans even mounted a campaign and hashtag #givecaptainamericaaboyfriend was even a thing for a while… Truth to be told, there are some hints of something stronger than a bromance between Captain and Bucky – but maybe that's just his sense of justice!
We wrote a couple of times about the alleged gay romance between Finn and Poe (it ain't gonna happen in mainstream universe, we got it) – but even the official rebuttal from the producers did little to stop the fans from making it happen in cyber space!

Below is a link of the project we're doing this morning. I love the way Ducky House (via Flickr) showed step by step how to do this project. If you click on the pictures, there's an even more descriptive blurb. Completely made out of construction paper, these flowers are so cute and the children will enjoy putting them together,using their favorite colors and adding their own little touches. I will be posting pictures of the end results. My phone hasn't been charging, therefore has been preventing me from posting pictures of the projects we've done this week.

The mere mention of cabbage soup in my household makes my husband a little stressed, and with good reason.
He remembers all too well the cabbage soup diet fad that I talked him into trying before our wedding. To be fair, I wasn't alone: Everyone was making this magical cabbage soup, and eating it multiple times a day, with the hope of nourishing our bodies while also making them bikini-beautiful. I'm not proud to admit, I was caught up in the hype. But a week or two in, I couldn't stand the soup for one more minute — the way my apartment smelled like a dirty sock, the taste of the soup itself, and according to my husband, my personality went from general pleasant to downright cranky.
>> Recipe: Cabbage Soup in Ginger and Garlic Broth
Nearly 20 years later, I decided it might be worth trying to concoct a tastier version of cabbage soup, not as a diet, but just as an addition to our soup rotation. After all, cabbage is incredibly healthy, and I'm definitely a fan of veggie soups to boost nutrition. It took some major convincing for my husband to try any cabbage soup at all. In fact, he didn't even want it cooking in the house — olfactory memory is powerful. So, I tinkered one week when he was out of the country for work. And I discovered a genius way to sidestep the strong smell and taste of the boiled cabbage of yesterday: leave the cabbage raw. It was so simple, but would it work?
It worked perfectly! The key is to cut the cabbage very thinly, or shred it on a grater or in a food processor. Or, simply buy the slaw already sliced for coleslaw. Whip up a simple vegetable broth with onions, garlic and ginger and pour the steaming broth over the cabbage just before serving. (You could even use store-bought broth and it would be fine.) The cabbage softens just enough to be pleasant — almost noodle-like — but stays fresh, light and tasty, absolutely zero hint of the old boiled soup days. Even though it's truly delicious (my husband agrees), I'm glad we aren't stuck eating any cabbage soup for weeks on end.

Day 16 last day at sea 24th October
Clive was still sleeping when I got up about 6.30am and started packing, it was pretty rough and it wasn't long before Clive was up and opening the door. I was feeling queasy. We decided to go for a walk to get some fresh air. Ophelia was outside when we left so we gave her the tip we'd prepared. The we took her Proud note to reception.
Had a light breakfast of porridge and toast at Plantations. Then we headed back to the cabin, the weather not for swimming so changed into shorts and headed back to reception to get a feedback on the Security Staff, filled it out then returned it to the desk. Decided to have a pot of tea each at Charlie's bar, sat on the stools, noticed the lady there is called Gail and will do a Proud note for her and the staff there. Clive notice his watch was not right and shook his wrist, the hands moved, shook again and they flipped again, so we went back to the watch shop. Ra apologized saying it's definitely faulty and he would either replace it or refund, we left it with him saying we'd go back.
Back in the cabin we did more packing and I grabbed the photos as we were now entitled to a free picture, so we went back to the photo shop to see if we could find the other pictures. The girl checked through about eight files on the computer and didn't find them. We ended up taking one of the formal night with my glasses on. Somehow we missed getting our Island night picture, and it was quite good, we had done a little pose like we were dancing. I thought we looked good for it too.
Then we met Fiona and Mike who were on the way to the Waterfront for lunch, amazingly it was already 1pm and we decided to join them. We had a lovely meal and left about 2.15pm, we went outside to sit on deck chairs to soak up the sun and enjoy the calmer seas, then we walked into the Dome that was very comfortable, we had a drink while listening to some kids practicing songs before going back to the cabin to finish packing. I got showered and changed and Clive put on his travelling gear too. Surprisingly we did get the pics and papers in the case. We managed to close the case and put it outside, it was getting late after 5.30pm, with everything ready it was time to get out of the cabin again.
Went to Plantations for a light tea, then headed to the Marquee for the show, it was really very good with the acrobats and dance troupe performing throughout, a couple of previous shows singers an a magician, lovely end to the cruise. Then back to the cabin and bed as we have an early start tomorrow for our return home.
Day 17 Sydney disembarkation 25th October
Woke early to the sight of lights in the distance with the moon above and the sun just rising. Took pics of the harbor as we came in. Then had a quick breakfast for the last time at Plantations before picking up our luggage and head down to the Orient to wait to disembark.
Not too long a wait before going through customs, we declared the wooden stuff and customs and followed the line outside to the buses. Large coach took us quite a distance, or it seemed so, to Kingsford Smith Airport. Went through the check in but too early to check in our bag so went to the little cafe nearby and had a cuppa.
Clive had already spoken to our son Simon several times, so now he rang his sister Christine while we waited, caught up with their France trip and told her about our fantastic cruise. Not long later we lined up with our bag again, this time checked it in, go through customers to set off the beeper, OK scan and sat at gate 53 waiting for boarding at 1.35pm. We were loaded once the plane had arrived and the previous passengers disembarked, a little late but the pilot said he'd make up some time in the air, he did it took less than an hour. We picked up our case from the luggage carousel, got a cab quickly and was home by 3.50pm, only catch was that Boris wasn't home so we called his phone and he and Daniella were soon able to give us our keys and mail. Lovely people.
Cats home and running happily in the yard. Clive watching Only Fools and Horses, I've unpacked and done 4 loads of washing. So back to cooking, cleaning and the real world.
