|Wrath and the like do no exist inside me. There is no wrath, or lust, or sloth, or greed, or gluttony, or envy, such emotions have fled from my father. My name is Pride.
|~ Pride
Pride is one of the main antagonists in the Fullmetal Alchemist manga series and its second anime adaptation series, Fullmetal Alchemist: Brotherhood. He is the first homunculus created by Father (the primary antagonist of the series). He lives with the homunculus Wrath, the ruler of the country of Amestris known by the population as King Bradley, posing as his adopted son Selim Bradley to create a facade of benevolence.
He was voiced by Brittney Karbowski.
Pride is by far the most powerful of the Seven Homunculi and Father's second-in-command. He pretends to be a sweet and nice child, but he is in actuality a ruthless, sadistic, charismatic, intelligent, perspicacious, entrepreneurial, knowledgeable, and resourceful killer, blindly devoted to Father's cause. Fighting seems to be something natural for him, as he often casually talks with his enemies and smiles at them before attacking, even sometimes feigning respect and calling them "mister" plus a mocking nickname.
Being the incarnation of arrogance, Pride cares only about himself, displaying utter indifference to his many victims and getting rid of his allies as soon as it is convenient. Pride's self-centered nature, cruelty and extreme scorn toward humans mirror that of Father, who shared a great deal of personality with his first born creation. He states that children must listen to everything their parents tells them and dismisses parental love, or thinking for oneself as "flawed human logic". Yet, without really having conscience of it, he is touched by genuine attentions.
The only people for whom Pride seems to truly care are Wrath, with whom he has unequivocal, open-hearted, and straightforward discussions outside their pretence of a family, and his human stepmother, whom he came to see as a real mother after she put her life in danger for him. He gets along with the other homunculi but he lacks the slightest qualm about sacrificing them, cynically referring to Gluttony as a "part of the system", and he blindly obeys Father's every command.
AppearancePride appears as an innocent young boy with short dark hair and dark eyes, to disguise his true, evil nature. Contrary to the homunculi created after him, Pride lacks the red lines covering their bodies and the Ouroboros mark, and he wears casual clothing instead of the other homunculi's black garments. (This most likely due to the fact that Pride is the first born homunculus)
It is revealed that his child-like body is in fact a mere shell which contains his real shadowy body, which Father created at the image of his own primal form. His shadow resembles a huge, black, shapeless figure with elongated tentacles, tendrils with clawed "hands," grinning mouths and piercing red eyes.
In the manga and the 2009 anime series
Background and occupationPride was created by Father very quickly after the destruction of the country of Xerxes, around 350 to 400 years ago. Since the foundation of the country of Amestris, he always pretends to be a human boy, who is part of the close family of the country's several puppet leaders (whom Father chooses and gives order to). He seldom appears in public though, in order not to raise any suspicion.
Pride serves as Father's spokesperson and second-in-command, transmitting orders and supervising the homunculi's actions. He also has to watch over the nationwide transmutation circle, forcing the homunculus Sloth who is digging it to keep working and slaughtering any intruder who discovers it.
At first Pride is only mentioned. He is heard scolding Envy and Gluttony for failing their mission and indirectly allowing Lust's death, and orders them to retreat without appearing in person. Later, after Gluttony is captured by the protagonists, he talks to Wrath through a door, but only a black figure is seen. He is shocked to learn another failure and that Wrath enjoys these troubles in their perfect plans, but he promises to keep Wrath's confession for himself.
"Selim Bradley" makes several appearances and even meets the Elric brothers, posing as a nice and friendly child. His shadow first appears after the Elric brothers have discovered the nationwide circle, where he slaughters the soldiers who came to explore it. Shortly after, Lieutenant Riza Hawkeye meets "Selim" and senses his evil aura, prompting him to reveal his true identity and to threaten her not to tell anyone, or else he would have all her colleagues killed.
Then he orders Solf J. Kimblee, a deranged alchemist who works for the homunculi to "carve a blood crest" on Briggs, the mountain in the north border of Amestris; as the homunculi need high-scale slaughters in various points of the border, (which follows the nationwide transmutation circle) in order to enact Father's goal. He later engages a short fight against Hohenheim, an extremely powerful human Philosopher's Stone and the father of the Elric brothers, in the nationwide transmutation circle.
Pride later personally enters the fray, helped by Gluttony. He kidnaps Alphonse Elric and possesses his armor with his shadow, and later engages a fight against Edward Elric and his allies (Including Greed, whom Pride resolves to kill). Edward causes a blackout to prevent Pride from using his shadow, but Pride restores the light by causing a forest fire. Edward then uses flash bangs to destroy Pride's shadows and free his brother, but the elder homunculus devours Gluttony to gain his powers and his remaining lives. Pride soon overwhelms all his foes, but Hohenheim ultimately traps him alongside Alphonse Elric in a gigantic dome of earth, where the total absence of light renders him powerless.
Alphonse and Pride then start a conversation in which he confesses a surprising fondness for his human stepmother. (Despite this, he holds his stepmother in much lower regards than Father's cause.) By banging continuously on Alphonse's helmet with a stick, Pride sends a Morse code to Father, who orders Kimblee to free him. Alphonse then fights against both Pride and Kimblee using a Philosopher's Stone. As Pride has just captured Alphonse, his allies defeat Kimblee (whom Prides later devours) and they all manage to flee.
In the latest chapters, Pride returns to the homunculi's subterranean base of operations, joining Wrath in his fight against Colonel Roy Mustang, the Flame Alchemist, who was blackmailed by the Alchemist Doctor to perform a human transmutation that would send him through the Gate of Truth. (The source of all alchemic power and knowledge of the world) Upon Mustang's refusal, Pride uses his shadow to stab the Doctor and assimilate his knowledge, before activating a transmutation circle that sends both him and Roy Mustang through the Gate of Truth. He later reappears with Mustang inside Father's throne room.
However, Pride has been affected by the Truth as well. It absorbed a great amount of his power and put a considerable strain on his child-like container, which is slowly disintegrating, beginning with the right side of his face. The Elric brothers notice it when they engage a short fight against him, before getting captured by Father.Father captures the Elric brothers, their father, their master Izumi Curtis and Roy Mustang; (all of them having been through the Gate of Truth) and he uses their power to activate the nationwide transmutation circle. By doing so, Father absorbs the souls of every citizen of Amestris, which he uses as a power supply to devour the Truth itself and become the new God of the Fullmetal Alchemist world.
Hopefully, Hohenheim manages to free all the Amestrian souls with an alchemic transmutation of his own, rendering Father unable to fully control the Truth inside him. Following Hohenheim's words, Father dedicates all his strength to keep the Truth's power within him, but this strength will soon be depleted, like a balloon on the verge of bursting.
Having figured this out as well, Father goes to the surface to absorb humans and replenish his strength, immediately followed by everyone. Everyone save for Edward Elric, whom Pride captured with his shadowy tentacles. Edward mocks the homunculi for being "brainless zombies unable to think for themselves", and remarks Father's complete lack of regard for Pride's state of near-death, and Pride angrily tosses him on the ground saying that this is but "flawed human logic" (Despite clearly realizing the truth in these words).
Pride then states that his child-like container will soon vanish entirely, and he attempts to take over Edward's body as his new vessel. But Pride is distracted by Kimblee's soul, whose psychotic liking for torment enabled him to retain his self-awareness among the many tortured souls inside Pride's Philosopher's Stone.Kimblee mocks Pride for his desperate attempt to seize the body of a human he so strongly despises, allowing Edward to reverse the process and invade Pride's own soul, destroying Pride's child-like container and shadowy body for good. As the helpless homunculus begs Edward to stop, thinking of his stepfather and stepmother, he is reduced to his basic form: a tiny fetus-like infant with a circular mark on his forehead. Edward lays the defeated Pride, who is calling for his "mama," to rest on his jacket while he joins the final battle against Father.
After Father's defeat, Edward returns the embryo-like homunculus to Mrs. Bradley, who decides to raise him like a real child, despite having learnt about his real nature. He is next seen in the epilogue, two years after the final battle, no longer being named Pride but going by the name of Selim Bradley for real, and with no memory of his former life. Selim is playing in the garden of Mrs. Bradley's house and he rushes to his mama with a wounded bird in his hands, begging her to heal it. He then politely greets general Grumman, Amestris' new leader who came to visit, as he departs.
Selim Bradley has apparently gained a human body, or at least a body more akin to that of a human, able to grow up and to emotionally develop like a real child, but which keeps the eye-like mark on his forehead. The military still keeps a distant eye on him but there is apparently no need to worry.
Ironically it is Pride, the most cruel and ruthless of the Seven Homunculi who survives and gets the chance to live a normal human life, purified from the deadly sin that once constituted his very essence.
Powers and Abilities
Like the other homunculi, Pride's source of power is the Philosopher's Stone from which he was created, which serves as his core. The thousands of human souls sacrificed to create the Stone, and imprisoned inside it, are linked to his own. This Stone grants him enhanced strength, speed, reflexes and stamina, as well as near-limitless regenerative abilities. Pride also seems impervious to normal weapons, given that the lion chimera Heinkel's claws didn't even scratched him; and that he states than a gun would be useless against him. Being the most powerful homunculus, he has the most dangerous power among them. This power lies in his huge, demonic-looking shadow, which is in fact his real body, is harder than every mineral and impervious to any conventional harm.
Pride controls his shadow like his limbs and he can expand or reshape it to form tentacles, tendrils or jaws. The shadow includes many eyes and mouths that Pride uses to see and talk wherever the shadow can expand. A useful ability when it comes to covert observation and to give orders where he isn't actually present; which gives an impression of omnipresence. Pride can slice, cut, and destroy anything that comes in contact with his shadow.
His shadow can also manipulate everything it touches or grabs, as with actual arms, but with incredible strength, much greater than that of Pride's child-like body, and can fill anything empty or entirely cover anyone, in order to manipulate what it holds like a puppet. Despite being large enough to cover the entire nationwide transmutation circle or the whole Central City, Pride's shadow cannot expand infinitely. It also cannot appear without a light source and can be harmed when light becomes too bright.
Pride can also devour people with his shadowy mouths and assimilate his victims' powers and characteristics. When he devoured his fellow homunculus Gluttony, he gained his extraordinary sense of smell, his ability to devour anything, his Philosopher's Stone, his ravenous appetite and perhaps even his fake Gate of Truth. (An eye which fires a huge energy blast, which absorbs anything it touches into a dimensional void.)
When he devoured Solf J. Kimblee, the psychotic Crimson Alchemist, he became able to perform Alchemy and to activate transmutation circles; an ability that expanded when he assimilated the Alchemist Doctor that worked for the homunculi, who was far more knowledgeable about Alchemy and transmutations. However he has never used Kimblee's signature explosive attacks and the actual extent of his newfound abilities is not known.
In more ways than one, Pride's shadow can be regarded as an amalgamation of all his siblings' powers. Indeed, it has Lust's ability to cut through anything, Greed's imperviousness to conventional harm, Envy's ability to assume many form or manipulate others, Sloth's extreme strength, Gluttony's ability to devour and assimilate anything and a highly enhanced eyesight similar to Wrath's.
In the 2003 anime series
- Main article: Pride (FMA 2003)
Given that the writing of the first anime series progressed faster than that of the manga, the two separated into completely different storylines with different characters. By the time Pride was introduced in the series, the writers knew that King Bradley was a homunculus but not that his adopted son Selim was one as well. Thus King Bradley was made into the homunculus Pride.
Pride's role in this anime series is almost exactly similar to that of his manga counterpart Wrath. He has the same powers (except that unlike his manga counterpart he does have regenerative powers), swordsmanship skills, Ultimate Eye and ruthless yet playful personality and he does mostly what Wrath does in the manga, serving as the right-hand-man of Dante, the storyline's primary antagonist, staging wars to serve her plans. Pride is eventually killed by Colonel Roy Mustang, the powerful Flame Alchemist, after a hard-fought battle in which Pride has the upper-hand until Selim brings a remnant of his human body that weaken him and enables Mustang to land the fatal blow, but not before he kills Selim in a fit of rage.
Ironically Pride kills the character who is supposed to be his manga counterpart.
|Appearances rarely show the whole truth.
|~ Pride after Edward admits he fooled he before.
|Ah, this should make things much easier, I can practically smell movement you make. I could do without the ravenous hunger, but I suppose I'll just have to secede it. Oh wait...I recognize that scent. You're somewhere close by aren't you? Hohenheim?
|~ Pride, after devouring Gluttony and gaining his strong sense of smell.
|~ Pride as Hohenheim traps him.
|What was it you were always saying? That you wanted to see which way the world would choose? And here you are, dying like a pathetic wreck. It must be humiliating.
|~ Pride to a critically injured Kimblee.
|Really? Is that your plan? Your stature has lead you to prove your worth by always fighting those who are larger than you. So then, you don't exactly have much experience in fighting those who are smaller than you.
|~ Pride to Edward.
|One can be sure, in this world, humans are of little consequence.
|~ Pride.
|Stop this. Stop this. PLEASE STOP!!!
|~ Pride's last words before his container is destroyed.
- Pride's manga & 2009 incarnation resembles Damien Thorn from the Omen series, as both are portrayed as children of great evil & both their marks remained hidden. It can be also state that he is a homage to the latter.
- Pride in the manga & 2009 incarnation is the eldest homunculus created by Father, though he still remains the appearance of a young boy.
- In the end, Pride was reduced to the form of the people he once misanthropic towards.
- Pride is currently the last homunculus still living.

There were several vendors at PAX 09 that were showing off Resident Evil 5 for the PC. Of course, the Capcom booth was featuring the latest zombie shooter, and nVidia was showing how it worked with their exclusive 3d technology. I spoke with the Microsoft rep at the Games for Windows section about how the zombie shooter differs from the console version.
Blood?!? I hope it's not Chris' blood!
Microsoft claims that the framerate is much smoother than the Xbox 360 on adequate hardware… but requires hardware that costs much more than an Xbox 360. Although the minimum system requirements is modest (Windows XP with 1GB of RAM and GeForce 6800), it will run much better using the recommended requirements, which consists of:
It's good to see the video requirements use cards that are at least a year old, so they should work on just about any gaming PC from the past few years.
Major differences
The major difference between the console version and the PC version is the integration with Xbox Live. Many "Games for Windows" games have embraced the Xbox Live gaming point system, so you can earn achievements and boost your online gamer score just like you can from any Xbox 360 game. You also have the same friends list, and ability to play co-op and multiplayer online.
The Games for Windows bar from inside RE5. Integrates with your Xbox Live account.
We forgot to ask Capcom if you'll have to pay extra to play Versus mode online… and we can't find the information online, either. Bad Journalist… no biscuit!
It is unclear if you will get double points if you play through the PC and Xbox 360 version on the same account, however.
The Microsoft rep also mentioned that there are a few extra "goodies" on the PC version, such as extra costumes and unlockables, but this probably isn't enough of a reason to purchase a copy if you already have the console version.
Oh, and as we mentioned.. the game will be playable in nVidia's 3d vision.
PC games usually have a lot of extra copy protection that goes along with it. Some games, such as Riddick and Bioshock have so much DRM that it's almost not worth it. Many vendors are offering their wares (not warez mind you) using electronic distribution methods such as Steam. When you use Steam then your purchase is tied to your account forever, so there are no DRM issues to deal with or physical discs to lose.
A glimpse inside the RE5PC area of Capcom's PAX09 Booth.
Resident Evil 5 for PC releases on September 14th in the US and September 18th across European territories.
So, to recap, the major differences are:

The tibia, or shinbone, is the second longest bone in the body and bears a huge amount of body weight. One of the common ways a tibia fracture can occur is with a high-impact collision, such as in a bicycle accident.
When only a slight hairline fracture occurs in an accident, the cyclist may not even immediately know that it's broken. In serious fractures, the break is unmistakable. The bone may protrude through the skin or the cyclist may be unable to put any weight on the injured leg. The treatment for a broken tibia largely depends on the type and severity of the fracture.
Types of Tibia Fractures
The force of the impact in a bicycle accident and exactly where along the shinbone the impact occurred can determine the severity of the fracture.
There are numerous categories of tibia fractures, some of which are discussed below.
- Stable fracture – if there is a relatively clean break and the bones haven't shifted, the doctors label it as a stable fracture.
- Traverse and oblique fractures – traverse fractures are those characterized by a horizontal break and oblique fractures, often considered unstable, are those with a diagonal break across the tibia.
- Spiral fractures – the fracture occurs when the cyclist's leg was suddenly and violently twisted, the fracture is considered a spiral fracture.
- Comminuted fracture – this type of injury is a serious multi-fracture. It occurs when the tibia breaks into three or more pieces.
- Compound fracture – in a compound fracture, the break is so severe that the bone pierces the skin.
Types of Treatment for a Broken Tibia the Doctor May Order
A broken shinbone is of the most painful types of fractures. And the tibia plays a crucial role in mobility and functionality, so serious shinbone injuries can greatly interfere with normal, everyday activities.
The treatment for a broken tibia depends upon the type and severity of the fracture. For many mild to moderate fractures, a splint may suffice as an initial treatment. The splint will provide stability and keep the bone in place while the swelling goes down, at which time a cast might be applied to allow the body time to repair itself.
Serious fractures may require surgery. In some cases, the surgeon may need to implant screws and plates to help give the tibia stability and to keep it straight during the healing process. Your doctor will provide more detail about treatment for a broken tibia and the recovery period afterward; in some cases, physical therapy may be necessary.
Ensuring Your Bicycle Accident Claim Settlement is Sufficient
Many cyclists don't get the compensation to which they're entitled after an accident because either they fail to list all of their damages, or because the insurance company undermines the extent and impact of the injury.
If you suffered an injury in a bicycle accident on a Denver street, trail, or bike path for which someone else is responsible, ensure that your attorney helps you seek reimbursement for all of your damages.
An attorney can argue for payment for those damages listed below.
- Emergency room visit and diagnostic tests
- Medical and rehabilitation bills
- Cost of prescriptions, medical aides (such as crutches) and other treatment for a broken tibia
- Lost wages and disability
- The impact of the injury on your daily life
- Pain and suffering
Free Consult with a Bicycle Accident Attorney in Denver
Bicycle accident victims should speak to an attorney to determine their legal options. For accidents in Denver, contact the Law Office of D.J. Banovitz at 303-300-5060 to set up an appointment so you can discuss your case.

I'd be lying if I said I felt any less numb than Hudson by the end of the movie.
...stands out as a refreshingly innovative spin on a contemporary romantic comedy...
Audience Reviews for Numb
After watching this you do in fact become numb, which I'm not sure is the intended point or an after effect from watching Matthew Perry try to stumble through a decent performance.
Super Reviewer
Matthew Perry, Lynn Collins, Kevin Pollak, Mary Steenburgen, William B. Davis DIRECTED BY: Harris Boldberg Screenwriter Hudson Milbank suffers from acute depersonalization disorder: he is so alienated from his own life that he makes the chronically depressed look perky. Hudson lives alone, watches The Golf Channel all day, can't hang on to a relationship, shoplifts in order to get his adrenalin up off the floor, fears that thinking about his dad's death will bring it to pass, loathes his mother, and in general, is as nutty as a peanut farm. Obsessed with the underlying sadness that infuses his wretched existence, Hudson is a man in hell, but he thinks that his long catalog of dismally unsatisfying and mutually self-destructive relationships is over when Sarah stumbles into his life. He knows she can save him. She knows he has to save himself. Together they just may save each other. Here's another one of those odd little films that I love. But it is one of those films that are not going to be for everyone. But these are the films I most enjoy. Why? Because there not your normal Hollywood movie. It's about real life. Matthew Perry is flawless in this movie. He really becomes this character and makes him so believable, which is important considering it is autobiographical of the director/writer. The way this movie is made there are times when the movie feels slow, but in true sight it is just trying to make you one with the character. See and feel things the way he does. Liked Lynn Collins in this a lot. Thought her character was really sweet and quirky. Just what the film needed to bring more relief to the very serious illness this movie's main character is surrounded by.Mary Steenburgen was great in this film as well, and really had me laughing with the restaurant scene. The movie is sad and at the same time inspiring. He never gives up hope on finding a way out of his own personal hell. I find this movie could be relatable for a lot of people. I hope more will see it. Matthew Perry really shows he can be a serious actor after doing the friends series. Also see him in "Birds Of America" if you haven't. He was really great in it as well.

UPDATE: Now you can apply for transfer of Provident Fund and Pension online! Check the appropriate section below.
When you change your job, you need to transfer your accumulated Provident Fund and Pension as well. Most people already know this, but are so daunted by the complex-sounding procedure and imagined difficulties that they prefer to withdraw it instead or, worse, treat it as a lost investment and forget about it.
Of course, one might ask why, in this day and age, do we need to have this ancient system of transferring our Provident Fund and Pension each time we change jobs. Why can't we instead have a unique account number that, once allocated, remains constant for our entire working life?
While moving to a unique account number is a much awaited and long pending reform, for the time being we have to live with the existing system. That said, I must add that transferring PF and Pension accounts is not as complicated as most people imagine it to be. It just requires a bit of diligence on our part. Not to mention, there are several ways to seek grievance redressal if the need arises.
But first, let's begin by understanding what Provident Fund and Pension are and why they are needed.
What is Provident Fund and Pension?
Employees Provident Fund (also called EPF or PF in short) and Employees Pension Scheme (also called EPS or simply Pension) are mandatory long term savings schemes established by the Government of India in which a certain portion of your salary must be deposited each month. The purpose of this is to ensure a cushion of savings which can be availed in hard times, and to provide a monthly Pension income after retirement.
As per Government rules, 12% of an employee's monthly basic salary (not gross salary or CTC) plus dearness allowance (if given) must be deposited as PF every month. Likewise, the employer has to make a matching contribution of 12% of basic salary + DA. However, the employer's 12% contribution does not fully go towards your PF. It is split into two parts of 3.67% and 8.33% respectively – the former goes to your PF account and the latter to the Pension account (subject to a maximum of Rs. 1250 per month).
To illustrate this, let's take an example of an employee whose basic salary + DA is Rs. 20,000 per month:
|Basic salary + dearness allowance (A)
|Rs. 20,000 per month
|Employee PF contribution @ 12% of basic + DA (B)
|Rs. 20,000 x 12% = Rs. 2,400 per month
|Employer PF contribution @ 12% of basic + DA (C)
|Rs. 20,000 x 12% = Rs. 2,400 per month
|PF portion of employer contribution @ 3.67% of basic + DA (D)
|Rs. 20,000 x 3.67% = Rs. 734 per month
|Pension portion of employer contribution @ 8.33% of basic + DA (E)
|Rs. 20,000 x 8.33% = Rs. 1666 per month
|Actual Pension portion of employer contribution (subject to maximum of Rs. 1250, rest goes back to PF contribution) (F)
|Rs. 1,250 per month
|Actual PF portion of employer contribution (including excess balance from Pension portion) (G)
|Rs. 734 + (Rs. 1666 – Rs. 1,250) = Rs. 1,150 per month
|Total PF contribution (employee + employer) (B + G)
|Rs. 2,400 + Rs. 1,150 = Rs. 3,550 per month
|Total Pension contribution (employer only) (F)
|Rs. 1,250 per month
Note that the employee and employer contributions are calculated on your basic salary, but are not deducted from it. They are paid over and above your basic salary as part of your total remuneration package (CTC).
Who Maintains my PF and Pension Accounts?
PF and Pension accounts are normally maintained by the Employees Provident Fund Organization (EPFO), which falls under the Ministry of Labor and Employment, Government of India.
Apart from the EPFO, some large private firms are also allowed to maintain their own PF trusts to allow them to process employees' claims more quickly. However, these have to be registered with the Regional Provident Fund Office (RPFO) and are subject to the same rules and regulations as the EPFO itself.
Is there an Account Number for my PF and Pension Accounts?
Every PF account has a number associated with it. It is in the format XY/12345/123456, where XY is the region or state code (e.g. KN for Karnataka), 12345 is the establishment code and 123456 is the account number. It can also be in the new format, which is XY/ABC/12345/123/123456, where XY and ABC are the region and office code respectively (e.g. BG/BNG for Bangalore), 12345 is the establishment code as before, 123 is the extension (usually 000) and 123456 is the account number as before.
An employee whose PF account is maintained with the EPFO will be given an account number in one of the above formats. This account number is the same for both the PF and Pension accounts, although they are maintained separately. Your PF account number will usually be displayed on your monthly pay slip.
NOTE: In case of companies with their own PF trusts, only the PF account is maintained by the trust, while the Pension account is still maintained by the EPFO. In such cases, there are two account numbers allotted to the employee, one each for the PF and Pension accounts. Both numbers will however have the same format as described above.
Should I Transfer or Withdraw my PF and Pension when Changing Jobs?
It is recommended to transfer your PF and Pension instead of withdrawing it on change of jobs, for financial and other reasons, some of which are:
- Your PF contribution, if withdrawn before completion of five years of service, is taxable
- The money in your PF account earns tax-free interest income at high rates of interest, whereas if you withdraw it and invest it elsewhere, the interest rates are usually lower and interest income and maturity gains are often taxable
- You lose out on Pension income accruing to you after a minimum of 10 years of service
However, if you are no longer employed, you are legitimately eligible to withdraw your PF and Pension funds, subject to the following caveats:
- You can only apply for PF withdrawal after a minimum of 60 days after leaving service. There is no maximum time limit, however.
- You are eligible to withdraw Pension only if you have worked for a minimum of 180 days in the previous establishment. Otherwise, the Pension contribution stands forfeited.
- You have the option of withdrawing your Pension funds only if you have been working for 10 years or less. If you have been working for longer than that, you will instead receive a Scheme Certificate, which you can surrender at the age of 50 years and above to receive a monthly pension.
Usually, a transfer takes much longer than a withdrawal, which is why many choose to withdraw their PF and Pension rather than transfer it. But ideally, you must transfer your PF and Pension when you change your job. You should do so within three years of leaving your previous organization because, after that, your old PF account will be marked as inactive and stops earning interest.
Procedure to Transfer PF and Pension
To transfer your PF and Pension to your new account, you need to fill and submit Form 13 (Revised) to your present company's finance department.
You must mention your previous and current PF account numbers on the Form 13.
Note that there is no separate form for Pension transfer. Pension is transferred along with the PF itself. However, if your previous PF account was maintained by a trust, then you will need to submit two copies of Form 13, one each with the PF and Pension account numbers respectively (since they are different in this case).
Your company will forward the Form 13(s) to your previous employer, who will then forward it to the concerned PF office after verification of particulars. If your previous company had its own trust, they will send a cheque for lump sum transfer of PF, along with a document known as Annexure K.
Procedure to Withdraw PF and Pension
To withdraw your PF and Pension after leaving service, you need to fill and submit two forms. To withdraw PF, use Form 19. To withdraw Pension, use Form 10C. As mentioned earlier, withdrawal of Pension is subject to certain restrictions.
You must submit these forms to your previous employer along with a cancelled cheque leaf of your bank account in which you wish to receive the payment.
You can also directly submit the forms to the concerned PF office, but you will need to collect a document known as Form 3A from your previous employer and submit along with your forms. There is usually no harassment here – just don't forget to collect the receipt of submission for your reference.
Instructions to Apply
1. You can download the forms specified above (and instructions to fill them) here: https://epfindia.gov.in/site_en/Downloads.php?id=sm8_index#Claim%20Form
2. To fill up the various forms, you will need the following details:
- PF account number of old company (you will get this from your pay slip)
- Pension account number of old company (same as PF account number)
- Date of joining and leaving previous establishment
- Date of joining present establishment (in case of transfer)
- Bank account where you wish to receive the funds (in case of withdrawal)
- Name and address of the PF office to which your previous company was depositing PF (you can get it by entering your old PF account number here: http://search.epfoservices.org:81/locate_office/office_location.php)
3. If applying for withdrawal, the following documents also need to be enclosed along with Form 19 and Form 10C:
- Form 3A from your previous employer. This document basically lists the details of contribution towards PF and Pension by the previous employer. This will be given by your previous employer and must be submitted in original with the application. It will be in this format: https://epfindia.gov.in/site_docs/PDFs/Downloads_PDFs/Form3A.pdf.
- Cancelled cheque leaf of your bank account in which you wish to receive the money.
4. There is no need to fill up the "Advance Stamped Receipt" section of Form 10C and Form 19, or attach any stamp of Re. 1/-. You can leave the section blank.
5. Provide your mobile phone number and email ID on top of all the forms on the first page. This will allow the PF office to get in touch in case of any issues.
Checking your Claim Status
You can check your claim status (transfer or withdrawal) here: https://epfindia.gov.in/site_en/KYCS.php
Select the state where your previous establishment is located, select the PF office applicable and enter your PF account number to retrieve the claim status.
Reasons for Rejection
If your PF or Pension transfer or withdrawal application is rejected, you will be sent a letter specifying the reason. However, this letter can take quite some time to arrive, and the URL for checking claim status does not specify the reason for rejection.
So, in the meanwhile, you can refer to this document to understand the common reasons for rejection: https://docs.google.com/open?id=0B3fAqJpOwcyxSksyeTNfci13LTA
Grievance Redressal
In case of any grievances or lack of progress on your application, you can lodge a grievance online here: http://epfigms.gov.in/
However, grievance redressal through this mechanism takes a long time, and it is much quicker to get information by filing a RTI application instead.
The following links have useful information on how to file a RTI for getting status of PF claim:

- http://www.goodreturns.in/personal-finance/planning/2013/02/how-file-rti-epf-withdrawal-or-transfer-claim-status-159880.html
UPDATE: Apply for PF and Pension Transfer Online
The EPFO has introduced an online EPF and EPS transfer facility for employees. You can now submit a transfer request online at this site: https://epfindia.gov.in/site_en/KYCS.php
Note that you will need to register first. You can also check the status of your transfer request via the same link.

Grab your wallets and head to a seedy bookstore several miles away from home: In a move not entirely unexpected — since its cover girl's entire nude photo spread has leaked onto the Web — Playboy has decided to release its January-February issue featuring Lindsay Lohan early. Though Playboy intended for its cover to be revealed on The Ellen DeGeneres Show Dec. 15, the image found its way onto the Internet on Thursday. Then, one day later, Lohan's entire spread hit the Web. Hugh Hefner tweeted today, "Because of the interest & the Internet leak, we're releasing the Lindsay Lohan issue early."
How early? The issue — originally schedule to hit stands much later this month — will hit stands Dec. 16. And, based on his Twitter, Hefner seems to be enthusiastic about the leak ("Hefner" and "leak" should never go together in the same sentence, am I right?): "Lindsay Lohan was the top search name on the Internet yesterday. Her issue goes on sale late next week. Hot. Hot. Hot." So does Hef think Lohan is hot enough to fuel Playboy sales despite the leak? Or did he just burn his tongue on some split pea soup mid-tweet?
It's hard to imagine — now that the images have been seen by anyone with a computer — that fans and detractors alike will race to grab a copy of Lohan's Playboy. But it's plausible that the issue would outsell others from this year — after all, this would be a valuable exhibit in the train-wreck museum. (Sitting alongside hankies from sobbing Bachelor contestants and this mind-bending outfit.) Earlier today, I asked you if you would look at Lohan's Playboy spread online. Now I have a different — albeit, very similar — question: Will you buy Lohan's Playboy?

2017-02-22 - Cold Jet GmbH moves to a new 'Technology Center of Excellence' for more Customer Proximity and Service
(Weinsheim 22.02.2017) Cold Jet, the world market leader for dry ice cleaning and production system solutions, moved into its new technology center at Obere Industrie Strasse 1 in 54595 Weinsheim, Germany, on February 1, 2017. The new 640m² building is constructed on a space of 3000m². The building is designed for future expansion by the possibility of adding more modules. The new office in Weinsheim houses sales, service, training, marketing and administration for the regions of Germany, Austria and Switzerland, allowing for more synergy Individual inquiries and services can now be implemented faster and more flexibly. Extensive training opportunities will be possible in the new building, as well as presenting more equipment in the future, including the Combi 120H and a pelletizer 120H for dry ice production. The new sales and service branch is also conveniently located, near the highway A60.
"The move was necessary, as the old office no longer offered enough space due to the positive business development of Cold Jet GmbH," said Dietmar Juchmes, General Manager of Cold Jet in Germany. "The new technology center of excellence offers much more space, and the conference and training rooms allow trainings and seminar activities to be organized directly onsite. We also now have additional capacity for future expansion.
In the new competence center, solutions for process optimization will be established together with customers and partners. The goal is to enable business partners to produce faster, more economically and produce better quality. In this way, the cooperation with the customer will be intensified.
"We are going to set up a demonstration room in the near future where customer samples can be tested and cleaned," said Juchmes. "We also plan to implement an integrated system, the Combi 120H and a pelletizer 120H. This enables our customers to experience dry ice production and an automated dry ice cleaning system live, on site. In this way, the customer can experience how their production process can lead to further reduction in downtime, improved component quality and a faster ROI."
The COMBI 120H is an automated cleaning and surface preparation solution that meets both the requirements of industrial companies for a continuous cleaning process and also minimizes consequential costs of machine/plant cleaning and maintenance. The COMBI 120H combines dry ice pellet production and dry ice blasting into one system, able to integrate with a robot. High-density dry ice pellets are produced on demand and are always available on site and in the exact quantity required. The pelletizer unit automatically adapts the production of dry ice pellets to the dry ice consumption, predefined on the blasting unit. The system can also be used to produce dry ice pellets for other applications. It is fitted with an extra pellet outlet from where pellets can be produced directly into an external dry ice container.
"Thanks to new premises, installations, products and services, we are now able to meet the requirements of our demanding global customers even more professionally," said Juchmes. "I am delighted to further strengthen our experienced team and, together with them, explore these fantastic new possibilities. Highly qualified employees from the fields of plastics, foundry, tire, gas and service are now locally present to support our customer base and are committed to delivering the highest possible quality and craftsmanship."

Network Security Market Up 5 per cent in 1Q05
Jun 01, 2005 Comments (0)
Infonetics' forecast for 1Q05 network security appliance and software revenue was within 1% of actual revenue.
"This was a fairly quiet quarter overall, with Cisco's big jump in hardware secure router revenue clocking in as the only major event of the quarter," said Jeff Wilson, principal analyst at Infonetics Research. "The network security market will grow at a 15% compound annual growth rate between 2004 and 2008. This strong growth is being driven by the many new viruses, malware, and targeted attacks that surface every day, compelling companies of all sizes to invest in security. Many areas in the market will continue single- and double-digit quarterly growth over the next few years."
1Q05 Market Highlights
- Cisco is the worldwide leader in revenue market share in the overall network security appliance and software market, a position they have more or less maintained since 2002
- Check Point is second in worldwide revenue share; Juniper is close behind in third
- Enterasys, ISS, McAfee, Nokia, Nortel, SonicWALL, and Symantec are strong second-tier players, with significant revenue market share across a number of categories
- VPN and firewall appliances and software make up the majority of revenue (78% in 1Q05), with IDS/IPS second at 14%, and gateway antivirus third at 8%
- North America accounts for 45% of network security appliances and software revenue, EMEA for 29%, Asia Pacific for 21%, and CALA for 5%
Network Security Appliances and Software tracks VPN and firewall appliances in six price-banded categories, hardware secure routers, SSL VPN gateways, VPN and firewall software, host- and network-based IDS/IPS products, and gateway anti-virus products. Forecasts are updated quarterly and cover all regions (North America, EMEA, Asia Pacific, CALA, and worldwide).
Companies tracked in this service include 14South, AEP, Avaya, Aventail, Check Point, CipherOptics, Cisco, Computer Associates, Crossbeam, CyberGuard,
D Link,Enterasys, F5, Fortinet, Intel, Juniper, Lucent, McAfee, NETASQ, Netilla, Nokia, Nortel, Secure Computing, SonicWALL, Symantec, TippingPoint, WatchGuard, Whale, ZyXEL, and others.

If you had the choice between glory and dishonor, which one would you pick?
It seems easy at first glance, a bit like having to decide between being rich and healthy or poor and sick. And yet, think again: this choice you have it, and some of you will not make the right choice.
To the winners, glory, respect, satisfaction and rewards.
To ther others ... the bitter taste of defeat on which there's no need to insist.
Participate in a Top Ally like you've never seen before! Wager great rewards to enjoy alone (diamonds), and with your team (ally transfers to your account increased)!
The rules, in a nutshell:
- Alliance rankings are divided into groups, based on the average points of their members;
- As soon as the event is launched, the attack limits are lifted: all players within a group can attack all players in the same group;
- From the first attack launched between two ally, a forced war is triggered;
- Diplomacy (wars / naps / confederations etc ...) is paused during the event and resumes at the end of;
- There is no limit of attacks during a top ally: as long as you can attack the same enemy, do not count: goodbye moderation;
- There is no transfer of buildings during a top ally: wins and losses are recorded;
- The bash is 0% for the duration of the event and it remains at 0% 3h after the end of the top ally (Monday 03:00) to avoid the illegitimate transfer of buildings / points;
- The spying limit is the same as always (6 / 12h);
- At the end of the event, the 3 ally of each front to have scored the most points will be victorious and rewarded (in the event that they scrupulously respected the rules and EUA);
- In the event of a draw, the ally with the most fights will be selected;
- The more you attack, the more you add to your alliance cashbox;
- If you win, you benefit during 7d of transfers from your alliance to your account multiplied by up to 5 times;
- Diamonds are also donated individually to the players of the victorious alliances.
The rewards:
- 1st place: 1200 diamonds for each member + Alliance multiplier x5 for 7 days.
- 2nd place: 600 diamonds for each member + Alliance multiplier x3 for 7 days.
- 3rd place: 300 diamonds for each member + Alliance multiplier x2 for 7 days.
Event and Top ally start at 12:30 am on Friday. The top ally finishes Sunday at 23:59. The bash remains at 0% until Monday 03:00. The rest of the event continues until Monday 23:59.
You are not in an ally and want to enjoy the event? You are in an unclassified ally (less than 10 members) and want to participate? Ask one of the ally admins you want to join to contact us via ticket. That he gives us your name, and we will integrate you to an active ally during this event.
Please contact us by Friday 17h for these last minute changes. After that, we will not be able to transfer you anymore.

Desk. Friday , February 09th , 2018 - 15:18:58 PM
In choosing an elegant wood writing desk for your home, what should you look at first? The price? The practicality /functionality? Or how stylish it is? It really depends on what you want and need. However, whether it is more for practical purposes or otherwise, the principle of choosing the sturdiest and most quality desk applies to both situations. Settling for an extremely ornate wooden desk with unsure quality would be damaging in the long run. Not only would you probably have to pay more, it would also be an eyesore to your home. Ask advice from people knowledgeable about furniture - they may know of furniture brands with good quality.
Furniture is made today of very different materials, both traditional, and ultra-modern and even exotic. Each material has it's own balance of characteristics and can be used in each concrete situation to a greater or smaller degree. Let's examine some materials, used while producing desks.
Get some paper towel. It will be used to soak up the excess liquid from the desk surface. Fold it to make it into more layers to soak up the liquid. When you have pulled away all of the liquid that didn't sink into the pores of the wood, apply another paper towel on the stain and pour some bleach onto it. Let it sit for a couple of minutes and repeat for 10 minutes or so.

I've spent most of my life in the Northeast Ohio area. I attended Archbishop Hoban High School in Akron, and graduated in 2001. Thereafter, I enrolled at Mount Union College where I majored in Political Science, and minored in History and Pre-Law. Upon graduation in 2006, I moved to Lansing, Michigan, where I attended the Thomas M. Cooley Law School. I graduated near the top of my class in 2009, and began working for the Canton Prosecutor's office soon after.
While working in Canton,.. I prosecuted criminal cases and investigated claims brought to me by the people of the city and surrounding areas. Working for the prosecutor, I developed a thorough understanding of the local criminal system, and how to navigate through it.
After working at the prosecutor's office, I began employment with Attorney Christine D. Finan in Akron, Ohio. While working for Attorney Finan, I dealt with a wide array of family law issues, as well as wills and the Akron criminal system.
In 2010 I began my own practice so that I could use my knowledge and experience to help the community that I've spent the vast majority of my life in. I look forward to addressing the legal needs of the people of the area, and hope to make a difference in the lives of those I represent. If you have a legal problem big or small, call me today so we can confront the issues head on, and prevent any unnecessary hardship to you and your family.

Gillian Wearing is the English artist best known for her much imitated photographic project in which she stopped people on the street and asked them to write down what they were feeling on a piece of paper. Their messages were funny, disturbing, oddly haunting. A policeman holds up a sign saying: "Help." A besuited man, who looks assured and affluent, has one that claims: "I'm desperate".
Similar themes – the hidden drama of everyday life, the masks we present to the world, the elaborate construction of personal identity – are explored in her first film for cinema, Self Made.
For it she placed an advert in newspapers asking for volunteers who would like to be in a film where they would either play themselves or a fictional character. Seven men and women were chosen, put through an intense series of acting workshops in which they practised using the Method technique, and then asked to perform scenes scripted by Wearing and playwright Leo Butler.
There's Dave, a bald warehouse worker and self-professed wind-up merchant who says he has already decided the date of his suicide. There's Lesley, a sweet, middle-aged woman who has yet to find the love for which she yearns. And there's Lian, an air stewardess whose role in a restaging of King Lear leads her to get in touch with the father she has always resented for being absent during her childhood.
On paper, this may seem like the recipe for a So You Think You Can Act-style reality show in which an art form is prized for the personal journeys its amateur practitioners go through and for its potential to deliver emotional catharsis. Equally, the film's premise and its dominant tone of tearful seriousness may seem anachronistic in an age when YouTube is full of larky, campy individuals re-enacting scenes from their favourite movies.
Yet, though it's hard to avoid the feeling that Self Made is better suited to television than to the movie screen, Wearing's cast of non-professionals is engaging and charismatic.

Doing whatever kindles love
Actors play roles. They tap into another persona, place themselves in a world that is not their own and develop a character. Sometimes the roles are fictional; sometimes they are based on real people. It can be difficult to emulate a character whose story is real, because that is when emotions are most real, stories most poignant and messages most challenging.
Those are just the sort of emotions, stories and messages that Bluffton students embraced in order to perform the fall theatre production of Whatever Kindles, a fictional docudrama about Christian Peacemaker Teams and individuals' responses to Jesus' call to peacemaking in the world. The production ran Nov. 12-16, 2008.
Christian Peacemaker Teams (CPT) began in 1987 as an effort by Mennonites, Quakers and Brethren to explore alternatives to war and violence. The organization sends individuals who are trained in methods of nonviolent intervention into areas of conflict around the world. Written by former CPT reservist Tricia Gates Brown, Whatever Kindles depicts the struggles and triumphs of CPT workers in Colombia, Iraq and Palestine.
Director Dr. Melissa Friesen was attracted to the play's message and its timely connection with Bluffton's yearlong civic-engagement theme "Living with Uncertainty in a Complex World." "I am constantly seeking scripts for production which will not only challenge our student performers, technicians and audiences aesthetically and intellectually, but also connect to Bluffton's mission," says Friesen, who is associate professorof theatre and communication and the Mary Nord Ignat and Joseph Ignat Chair in Theatre. "Scripts which specifically address nonviolence as a tool for social change and an ethical and moral imperative are rare."
In choosing such a script, the possibility that the performance would stir a lot of emotions both for the cast members and the audience became real. Rehearsals began in late September, giving students a little more than one month to step into their roles.
"As actors, we had to tap into different facets of emotions in a short time," says senior Nicole Bontrager (Goshen, Ind.), who performed the role of a Colombian CPT member. "Hopelessness. Fear. Strength. Frustration. Abundance of hope. It's hard to switch back and forth, but you appreciate more and more what CPT workers do. This story needed to be told, and I wanted to convey my character, Maria Inez, in a way that would share its meaning with others."
Twenty-one students filled roles, seven of whom stepped into the shoes of fictional CPT workers. The cast and crew met with current and past CPT workers to hear their stories, see their pictures and receive insight into how to emulate real tension in the play. Sophomore Aaron Yost (Pinetop, Ariz.) played Bill, a CPT worker in his mid 60s who served in Hebron and Iraq. "It was less like playing a character in a play," says Yost of his performance. "It felt real to be Bill, especially after I met a CPT worker who had actually lived in Hebron and Iraq."
During rehearsals, cast members grappled with the realization of what CPT workers do in order to make small differences in large conflicts. They struggled with the lack of tangible results. "CPT workers don't always see a change or grand accomplishment," says Yost. "CPT's goal is to stand insolidarity with people. But that's hard when you want to see results." Bontrager agreed, adding that it was frustrating to take little steps in the right direction instead of monumental ones. "CPT's work isn't going to change an international law," she says. "But, it's changing hearts, one at a time. It's about relating to people and, through your presence, sharing your faith and struggles. It's more of a chain event."
As the students performed each night, there was evidence of reflection and reaction in the audience. Talk-back sessions following performances created a space for open dialogue with cast members, CPT workers and community members.
"You could tell people were really thinking about what they had just experienced," says senior Anna Yoder (Eureka, Ill.), who served as a dramaturge, or research assistant, for the production, along with Yost. "Their questions allowed us as a cast to see that we had shared the message of CPT, and that they were thinking about the call to peacemaking. Those were the glimpses of change that are important to us."
While the message may be difficult and outcomes hard to see, Christian Peacemaker Teams continues to work for change in a very uncertain world. Being part of Whatever Kindles gave Bluffton students the chance to support the organization's mission and be challenged to think about what it means to practice nonviolence on a daily basis.
"It's like the last line of the play says: 'Do whatever kindles love,'" says Yost. "Sometimes that means doing something that doesn't accomplish anything tangible. But, if it forms relationships and kindles love, than it's still doing something. If everyone had that mindset, we could create much-needed change."

North Bay Beach
There are two sandy beaches in Scarborough - South Bay Beach and North Bay Beach. Since there's not much between them they're both popular with families and those keen to unroll their towels and settle down for a day, but it's worth bearing in mind that North Bay Beach is also a favourite spot for watersports. Look to the northern end of the beach and you'll see rocky outcrops that get cut off at high tide, and if you bide your time and wander up that way when the tide goes back out you'll find the beach dotted with rock pools.
The southern end of the beach is home to the flatter area of sand that's a better bet for those of you who just want to sit back and enjoy the shore, and out at sea you'll see jet skis, swimmers and even surfers.
The south end winds around the headland to South Bay Beach and the main road behind the headland provides plenty of parking. There's always a qualified lifeguard on hand throughout the peak season for added peace of mind, and with an excellent water quality North Bay Beach is one of the region's safest spots to enjoy watersports and time in the sea.

Here's a hypothetical question to throw out at your next ALCO meeting. Let's suppose several commercial loans in your portfolio are priced using your home grown "Bank Prime Rate" plus 1.00%. This is as opposed to using Wall Street Prime as the index. For the past year or so your Bank Prime Rate has been set at 5.00% (while Wall Street Prime has rested at 3.25%). So the current rate on one of these loans is: 5.00% + 1.00% = 6.00%. Simple enough.
Here's the question: If the Fed tightens by +50bp, which indirectly moves Wall Street Prime to 3.75%, what is the new rate on this particular loan?
Is it 6.50%? or is it still 6.00%? Are you sure about your answer?
For one of our bank clients this situation isn't hypothetical. In fact sitting at their board meeting at the beginning of last month I felt like a tennis event spectator watching the CFO volley this one back and forth with the bank's senior lender.
It turns out the senior lender resurrected the old "Bank Prime Rate" in order to create an implied loan rate floor. The problem is that, when the bank created this Bank Prime Rate back in the late 1980s, it was actually meant to price some loans lower than Wall Street Prime. Back then Bank Prime was always set as a spread to Wall Street Prime, at least, that's how the CFO remembers it. To make matters worse there was no language in the loan contract that helped clarify the issue.
As you might guess, this has a pretty big impact on how we model the loans (not to mention the impact on the customer!) Are these loans currently "at their floor" or not? If not, when rates begin to rise sometime in the future the loan's rate will increase. If they are "at their floor" then this loan won't start repricing until Wall Street Prime moves up by +175bp!
That's a pretty big difference in behavior.
If your bank prices any loans using a bank defined prime rate, make sure during your next ALCO meeting that all of bank management is clear about how this rate behaves. And make sure that's how you're modeling it.

Anyhoo . . . I love writing word problems, and I know not everyone does! If you are looking for more word problem resources, I'd love for you to take a peek at some of mine! I have finished the first 4 sets and have 4 more in the works. Let me know if you can think of a "need" that I haven't thought of--but coming soon will be some mixed computation problems, elapsed time problems, and decimals!
Here are the ones that I've already published!

"An ad hoc group, composed of food industry, trade association, and academic and government representatives, is bringing together food and nutrition experts to assess where we are on this topic and to plot the course for future action," said Charles Santerre, who specializes in chemical contaminants in food.
The workshop, Monday through Wednesday (10/28-10/30), is part of the annual National Center for Food Safety and Technology Conference that is sponsored by the Food and Drug Administration.
Six months ago the Swedish Food Authority reported that some of our favorite foods, such as potato chips and french fries, may contain acrylamide. At high levels, acrylamide has been shown to cause cancer in animals. The implications of the Swedish findings motivated the World Health Organization to rapidly convene international experts to discuss the impact of this discovery.
"The Food and Drug Administration is taking this very seriously, but there are holes in the data that can't be answered overnight," said Santerre, who began studying this topic more closely this spring and is well known for his research on contaminants in food. "We do know that we have been eating fried and baked foods for hundreds of years with no apparent adverse effects."
In April the Swedish Food Authority reported a wide range of acrylamide concentrations when examining a small number of starchy and fried foods. The amounts ranged from 30 to 2,300 parts per billion. Acrylamide is considered to be a probable human carcinogen and is a known neurotoxicant, said Joanne Lasrado, doctoral candidate in foods and nutrition at Purdue. The substance is a white crystalline, water-soluble compound that is used in the paper, paint, leather tanning and mining industries. It also is present in cigarette smoke.
Acrylamide is formed when foods high in starch are cooked in temperatures greater than 248 degrees Fahrenheit. Cooking methods that require this amount of heat include roasting, grilling, barbecuing and baking. It is believed that when a naturally occurring amino acid, asparagine, is heated with certain sugars, such as glucose, acrylamide is created. Many snack foods are made up of starch, which is a good source of the simple sugar, glucose.
Boiled starchy foods do not show an increase in acrylamide.
Santerre said more information is needed before people abandon french fries or potato chips.
"People don't understand that traces of carcinogens can be found in pretty much all of our foods," Santerre said. "Detecting a carcinogen is not a reason to change dieting patterns. We also need to think about the dose, since small doses can be harmless while high doses can be harmful. It is the job of the toxicologist to determine at what level the dose becomes harmful."
There also is no conclusive evidence that acrylamide causes cancer in humans. Questions still remain about the levels and extent of acrylamide in food products, the mechanisms by which it is formed in fried foods, whether the body can efficiently absorb and process it, along with the toxicological implications.
Lasrado said scientists need to develop analytical methods that can be more routinely used for the analysis of acrylamide in foods, since current methods are slow, expensive and technically difficult to perform. Studies also need to be conducted to find ways to reduce acrylamide formation during cooking.
Until there are more answers, the Food and Agriculture Organization and World Health Organization recommend people avoid overcooking foods.
"However, the organizations also advise that you adequately cook meat and meat products to destroy food-borne pathogens," Lasrado said. "They reinforced eating a healthy balanced diet that is low in fat and has a lot of fruits and vegetables."

Any order from an arbitrator is legally binding. This means that both you and your landlord are required by law to comply with the order.
If the arbitrator decides against you, you will need to follow their orders. If it is relating to a notice to end tenancy you will need to move out by the specified date. If it is relating to a monetary claim, you will need to pay your landlord the amount of money ordered by the arbitrator. If the arbitrator decides in your favour, your landlord is required to comply with the order, and you have the right to take legal action to ensure that they do.
Arbitrator's decisions do not set legal precedent. This means that the arbitrator who hears your case is not required to make the same decision as other arbitrators who have heard similar cases in the past. You may hear stories of other tenants who disputed an issue similar to yours, but received a different decision.
If the arbitrator has issued an Order of Possession for your landlord (meaning that you are required to move out), your landlord can enforce that order against you. They must, however, follow the proper legal process. See our page Enforcing an Eviction for more information.
If the arbitrator issues a monetary order for either party, it can be enforced through Small Claims Court.
See our page on Enforcing a Monetary Order for information on how to collect money that your landlord owes you if they refuse to pay.
See our page I Disagree with my Decision for more information.
