Company Reaffirms Prior Statements Made Earlier This Year
Ubisoft took to the floor of E3 on Monday to announce a series of new gaming projects that the company would be working on -- one of which included the fourth installment in the hit franchise Assassin's Creed series -- which will be titled Unity.
Confirming the previously rumoured four player co-op multiplayer, the gameplay showed off some classic Assassin's Creed gameplay and truly impressive next gen visuals.
Ubisoft announced the game in March with a teaser trailer confirming its setting in revolutionary France. Developed for PC, Xbox One and PS4, another game, Assassin's Creed: Comet is being developed for Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3.
In a report by ZER the company also announced that the global leader in visual computing technologies, NVIDIA Corp. recently extended its gaming alliance with Ubisoft to provide support to the latter's most popular games such as Assassin's Creed Unity, Far Cry 4, The Crew, and Tom Clancy's The Division.
The collaboration is aimed at bringing an enhanced gaming experience to PCs. This extended deal is a positive for NVIDIA, as it will help the company to gain market share among gaming content developers. We believe that NVIDIA's GameWorks suite of tools, which improve the visual effects of games, will help to generate additional demand for its graphics technology.
Ubisoft and Nvidia have extended their "strategic partnership" that sees the latter's GameWorks Team work closely with Ubisoft's developers to maximise the use of GeForce-focused graphics tech such as TXAA antialiasing, HBAO+ ambient occlusion and PhysX.
The games in question are Assassin's Creed Unity, Far Cry 4, The Crew and The Division.
"Working with NVIDIA has enabled us to bring an enhanced gameplay experience to our PC players," Ubisoft's senior VP of sales and marketing Geoffroy Sardin said. "We look forward to continuing our partnership with NVIDIA on our biggest upcoming titles."
Nvidia's senior VP of content and technology Tony Tamasi added: "We're excited to continue our long-term partnership with Ubisoft in bringing our latest PC technology to their games. Through GameWorks, we have been able to add unique visual and gameplay innovations to deliver amazing experiences for these stellar Ubisoft games. I can't wait to play them myself."

EDGEWATER -- The world of sculptor Peter Wolf Toth is a clutter of carved wooden bears, dolphins and fish; eagles, dragons and horses; manatees, herons and Indians. Especially Indians.
Though most of Toth's work is small enough to stow in a car trunk, he is best- known for 67 towering statues of American Indians, found in all 50 states and in Canada. This "Trail of Whispering Giants" is made up of carvings up to 40 feet tall.

If you want something for your hair that is still healthy for your hair but smells great, WEN hair just added Pink Jasmine Peony to their signiture scents. The new scent is a limited time product so if you like the smell of it and want to continue using it, you will want to purchase a number of them all at once so that you do not run out before they bring it back again. During certain times of the year there will be products released that are considered to be signature scents and this is just one of them they choose to use.
Did you know that Chaz also makes other items and not just items for your hair. There is a perfume that has been made as well as a body lotion. The body lotion is going to allow your skin to become hydrated without adding any grease to your body. Many of the store lotions you purchase will leave your skin feeling greasy and they usually really don't replenish the moisture in your skin. The lotion by Chaz Dean (https://chazdean.com/store.aspx) however is going to leave your skin feeling new by adding orange peel oil, amino acids and even adding vitamin K to your skin. These ingredients are vital for replenishing your dry and cracked skin.
If you suffer from skin conditions, you know how hard it is to find something that can be used to help you stop itching and digging yourself. The lotion by Chaz is just one of the things you can rely on to help you get over this problem. By purchasing the lotion, you will see what healthy skin is like and you will not go back to the store bought lotions ever again. It wont take a lot of lotion for you to see what a difference it is.
If you like products that go with the seasons, the Winter Vanilla Mint is one you may want to try. You can purchase products like oil, replenishing treatments and mouse all in this same fragrance. The products will leave you smelling like a winter wonderland with the added mint which most people will associate with the Christmas season. The smell can be used all year long instead of just during the winter months. Need WEN hair care? Order online via eBay.com, QVC or at guthy-renker's beauty store.

Creating dor Controlling Fire
Still no super power. Today I tried to make a match light without striking it. I told it to light, it snapped my fingers at it, I tried using my mind. All to no avail; it would not light. So I lit it and tried to control the flame. I had to light four matches in the hopes that one would stay lit long enough to for me to make the flame do anything but go out. Sadly, this is not my super power. Such is life right?
Tomorrow I am flying home from Honduras, so there may or may not be an update. I don't want to be on the plane and test my super power and find it. That would be sure to get me into trouble. I'll try nonetheless, but no promises.Posted Tue, Aug 7, 2007

Safari Packing Suggestions
Your packing list will vary depending on the season and the specific areas you plan to visit.
You can check current temperatures/weather forecast at www.qwikcast.com. In general:
- Mornings and evenings are often cool.
- If you're out on a game drive early or late during the cooler season, it can be downright cold!
- Mid-day temperatures tend to be quite warm (sometimes hot!).
Clothing — General
Given the above, packing with layers in mind is important. To layer while also packing light, use clothing items made with lightweight, quick-dry, versatile fabrics. They are worth the investment! Many camps/lodges offer laundry service, so you can wear items multiple times.
If you're spending time in a large city, you might pack one "smart casual" outfit. In respecting the local cultures, it is recommended that women wear a skirt or shorts that cover their knees when visiting local people in the rural area.
Clothing — Safaris
On safari, the emphasis should be on practical and casual clothing. One strategy to packing light is to do what the safari guides do: Have "a uniform" for your safari outings. Khaki/beige shorts and shirts are ideal as they are least likely to attract the animal's attention … and least likely to need washing.
Packing for Flights
For safety and space reasons, all charter flights to remote locations have luggage weight restrictions. Including carry-on items, camera bag and equipment, passengers are generally restricted to:
Southern Africa: 12 kgs (26 lbs) or 20 kgs (44 lbs)
East Africa: 15 kgs (33 lbs)
Charter companies request you use "soft luggage" (no hard suitcases can be transported as they physically cannot fit into the aircraft), usually with maximum dimensions of 36"x12". Please contact us for exact weight limits for your specific trip.
Suggested Packing List
Critical Items
- passport
- airline tickets

- cash/credit card

- 1 skirt/ casual dress
- sleepwear
- 1 sweater/fleece for warmth
- socks and underwear (sports bra for women)
- sandals for use in the bath and causal
- bathing suit
- if traveling during May-Aug, consider packing gloves, a hat and some long underwear, especially for South Africa
*Note it's best to avoid black & especially white clothing when out on safari
- broad-brimmed sunhat, sunglasses
- small pair of binoculars
- extra eyeglasses and/or contact lenses
- 1 lightweight backpack
- copy of passport & extra passport photos
- small flashlight
- camera and all photographic equipment

*Note check out www.globalsojourns.com/blog for a detailed list of what one of us packed for a 2-week safari
Items for Bartering at Markets
Some clients have enjoyed bartering for souvenirs at local markets (e.g. the market next to Victoria Falls in Livingstone). Some of the items sought after by vendors include clothing (e.g. pants, t-shirts, long-sleeved shirts) and pens. If you plan to do some shopping at the end of your trip, this can be a good way to make room for your souvenirs!
A Few Favorite Products from Fellow Sojourners
- ExOfficio Air Strip shirts
- ExOfficio quick dry underwear (for men and women)
- Gramicci QwikDry pants and shorts
- Eagle Creek Luggage – the Switchback model, carry on size
- Merrill and Keen shoes: walking, running and hiking options
- TeaTree Oil Ointment (an all around great item to have in your toiletries bag)

The Race for President: Mike Huckabee Analyzed
Next in this exercise of analyzing the presidential candidates we have Republican Mike Huckabee, who has been surging in popularity of late, though still a long-shot to win the nomination.
About the candidate: Mike Huckabee is the former governor of Arkansas, having served from 1996 to 2007. Huckabee is an ordained Southern Baptist minister. Prior to his political career, Huckabee was pastor of several Southern Baptist churches. He served as president of the Arkansas Baptist State Convention from 1989 to 1991 and as president of a religion-oriented television station.
|Issue/Voting Criteria
|Candidate's Stance
|Candidate's Record
|1. Strengthening the Family
|From Huckabee's website
My faith is my life – it defines me. My faith doesn't influence my decisions, it drives them. I don't separate my faith from my personal and professional lives.
|From Wikipedia.org
-While Governor, Huckabee signed the "Covenant Marriage Act", which compels the couple to seek counseling if problems develop during the marriage, provides limited grounds for divorce or separation, and restricts lawsuits against spouses. Huckabee said the law, "offers couples a chance to be held to a higher level of marital commitment."
-Huckabee opposes abortions, same-sex marriages, and civil unions
From Right Wing News
-Huckabee has a superb record on right to life issues, and supports an amendment to protect marriage
|1A. Pro-Life/Anti-Abortion
|From Huckabee's website
I support and have always supported passage of a constitutional amendment to protect the right to life. My convictions regarding the sanctity of life have always been clear and consistent, without equivocation or wavering. I believe that Roe v. Wade should be over-turned.
|1B. Pro-Traditional Marriage
|From Huckabee's website
I support and have always supported passage of a federal constitutional amendment that defines marriage as a union between one man and one woman.
|2. Defending Our Country
|From Huckabee's website
-Our Founding Fathers wanted to guarantee our God-given liberties. They wanted us to be able to defend ourselves, and that's why they gave us the Second Amendment.
-A nation must provide its citizens freedom and security. A nation must be able to defend itself and feed itself. We have learned how disastrous it is to be dependent on other countries for our energy needs.
|From Wikipedia.org
-Huckabee supported a 2005 bill to make some illegal aliens eligible for scholarships and in-state college tuition
-Regarding his position to give public benefits to children of illegal immigrants, he said, "I have always said you don't punish a child for the crime of a parent"
-Huckabee supports the War in Iraq, the troop surge and the continued operation of the Guantanamo Bay detention camp
-He believes the United States' number one priority should be to secure America's borders. However, Huckabee supports a pathway to citizenship for illegal immigrants.
|2A. Defeating Terrorists
|From Huckabee's website
I believe that we are currently engaged in a world war. Radical Islamic fascists have declared war on our country and our way of life. This war is not a conventional war, and these terrorists are not a conventional enemy. I will fight the war on terror with the intensity and single-mindedness that it deserves.
|2B. Protecting Our Borders
|From Huckabee's website
My number one priority is to secure America's border. I opposed the amnesty bill that was defeated by the Senate in June.
|3. Free Market Economic Policy
|From Huckabee's website
-I believe in free trade, but it has to be fair trade.
-Globalization, done right, done fairly, can be the equivalent of a big pay raise by allowing us to buy things more cheaply.
-We don't need universal health care mandated by federal edict or funded through ever-higher taxes.
|From Wikipedia.org
-As Governor, Huckabee signed into law a 3 cent per gallon increase in tax on gasoline
-He led a campaign to funnel 100 percent of the state's tobacco settlement revenues into the health care system, rather than the general fund.
-He signed a tax on private nursing homes for $5.25 per day per non-Medicare patient
-He was named "Friend of a Taxpayer" by American for Tax Reform (ATR) for his cut in statewide spending
-Huckabee publicly opposed the repeal of a sales tax on groceries and medicine in 2002
From Huckabee's website
As Governor of Arkansas:
– I pushed through a $90 million tax relief package
– I doubled the standard deduction for taxpayers
-I eliminated the marriage penalty and capital gains tax on home sales
– I cut taxes and fees nearly 100 times, saving the people of Arkansas almost $380 million.
– When I left office, AR had a nearly $850 million state surplus
|3A. Lower Taxes
|From Huckabee's website
-I am running to completely eliminate all federal income and payroll taxes.
-I support the FairTax, a consumption tax, like the taxes on retail sales
|3B. Smaller Government
|From Huckabee's website
-To control spending, I believe the President should have the line-item veto.
-Government deficits are is not due to Americans' being under-taxed, but to the government's over-spending.
Mike Huckabee's grade point average comes out to 3.56 on a 4 point scale, which is lower than I expected. I was surprised at Huckabee's poor economic record relating to his support for tax increases. Also hurting Huckabee was his weak stance on illegal immigration. On the plus side, Huckabee is the first candidate I have examined to get a perfect score on the Strengthening the Family category.


text: We had such a wonderful week with my whole family in town! The big group of us went up to Grandview Lodge for 4 days. We went two years ago and had such a fun time, we had to continue the tradition a couple years later! It's rare to get everyone together, so the trip was perfect to just be together. (Here's the post from last time!) This year we added Nathan Brown to the bunch.. oh and Ivy! It's so fun to get these kids together. They all keep getting older and cuter and they really get along so well together! We are truly blessed. And Grandview is such a perfect place for all of us. Someone commented that my mom should be a spokesperson for Grandview Lodge (and for Aldi) But as she said, "I would come just for the flowers!" The place is so beautiful. We had great weather, stayed in a nice big 5 bedroom house together, and spent four wonderful days exploring the place! We logged in a lot of hours at the pool and the kids were obsessed with the slide! We played on the beach, swam in the lake and the big boys jumped on the trampoline in the lake. We rented a boat, cruised around and some went fishing. We rented bikes, played mini golf and tennis, went on a nature scavenger hunt, roasted marshmallows by the bonfire and ate ice cream everyday! Like I said, perfect! I'm so glad we were able to do this trip again, and we're all already excited for the next trip! (Forewarning, there's a lot of pictures! And I seem to be partial to Ivy)

Piqué and ter Stegen speak to reporters in downtown Washington DC. / MIGUEL RUIZ-FCB
After seeing some of the US capital and before the afternoon training session at the American University at 6.30pm ET, defender Gerard Piqué and goalkeeper Marc-André ter Stegen appeared at a press conference to discuss the team's American tour and the coming UEFA and Spanish Super Cups, as well as the start of next season. Here are the highlights of what they had to say:
On the preseason:
"The most important thing is to pick up the pace and be physically ready for the Super Cups.
"Despite losing yesterday, the team is playing at a high level."
"I find myself physically very well. We are on the right track.
On training and playing in the United States:
"Here in the greatest country in the world, football isn't the most popular sport, but we want it to grow and improve every year and I think we are helping that happen by coming here and playing against premier local or European teams. it's something we have to do because we are one of the best teams in Europe."
On possibly becoming team captain:
"Although I'm not a captain, I play an important role on the team."
"Whether I become captain or not in the future, I will continue to play an important role on the team."
"I would like to be a captain in the future, but it isn't something I lose sleep over."
On ending vacation early:
"My decision to rejoin the team [earlier than planned] was correct, because I feel that my mind had time to rest and I feel fit."
On the preseason:
"I like being here with the team and preparing myself for the season; it'll be a long one."
"It's my second year here and I'm more familiar with everything."
On playing in the different competitions:
"Whoever plays in La Liga or in the Champions League, that's not my decision, but the coach's. I want to play more minutes. And I'll work hard to play in all competitions."

The Frenchman´s position at the Emirates Stadium has been the subject of speculation this summer amid suggestions he might choose not to extend his current contract which expires at the end of the season.
"I do not want to be unsettling," he said. "I am highly committed to the club, I have shown that many, many times in my life and I don´t think anybody can question that. We are talking and usually when we talk, there is always a positive outcome. At the moment nothing is done, but hopefully soon."

PressTV/ European Commission cuts eurozone growth forecasts
SHAFAQNA (Shia International News Association)- The European Commission has sharply slashed its growth forecasts for the eurozone for the next year.
The commission made a revision in the 18-country bloc's economic outlook, predicting its currency will only grow 1.1 percent in 2015, down from a 1.7 percent forecast just six months ago.
The European Commission said the delay in the upturn is due to drag on the economy from France and Italy.
Germany and France, the two largest eurozone economies, will also see a drop in their growth by nearly a full percentage point for 2015, the commission added.
The inflation in the eurozone for 2015 will be 0.8 percent, still below the target of the two-percent level that has been declared as healthy for the economy.
The European Commission also noted that the fragile eurozone would need another year to reach even a modest level of growth.
"There is no single, simple answer to the challenges facing the European economy," Pierre Moscovici, the commission's new economic chief, said in a statement on Tuesday, adding, "We must all assume our responsibilities, in Brussels, in national capitals and in our regions, to generate higher growth and deliver a real boost to employment for our citizens."
Europe plunged into financial crisis in early 2008. The threat of insolvency has plagued heavily debt-ridden countries such as Greece, Portugal, Italy, Ireland, and Spain.
The debt crisis has forced the EU governments to adopt harsh austerity measures and tough economic reforms, which have triggered incidents of social unrest and massive protests in many European countries.

A Personal Perspective and Our Role in Korean Oriental Medicine
Kang Shun-Su ;
Herbal Formula Science, volume 10, issue 2, 2002, Pages 1~4
The development of Korean Oriental medicine is based upon the accumulation of experience and knowledge gathered over the centuries. The approaches taken are holistic and empirical. There is a need to understand their actions at molecular levels with more rational, objective and scientific studies. Today it appears that Chronic and age-associated diceases may be multifactorial and hence more complex. A different approach may be required. One claimed usage of Korean Oriental medicine is for the treatment and prevention of chronic and age-associated illnesses. Some of the botanical formulas used for this purpose were discovered thousands of years ago and continue to be used today. There are indications that these formulas may indeed be helpful in the treatment or prevention of chronic diseases. This multi-component medicine could not only be very useful meeting the unmet clinical needs but for defining a more synergistic therapy that supports and maintains the bodies natural curative abilities. The potential usefulness of Korean Oriental medicine embodies the belief of maintaining healthy homeostasis of the body through the proper balance of a mixture of chemical at different organs or tissues. This concept is different from western medicine and implies that multiple compounds may act on multiple mechanisms of action to maintain the balance of the complex web of biology. This is very important in view of sciences current direction to integrate fragmented information to develop future medicines. The western and eastern approaches to human health and disease are complementary to each other. The best approach in developing future medicines is to integrate both approaches.

Park Choon-Ha ; Wei Tung-Sheun ; Kim Yong-Sung ; Lee Kyung-Hwan ;
Herbal Formula Science, volume 10, issue 2, 2002, Pages 47~55
In Oriental medicine, So-gal(消渴) is similar to Diabetes Mellitus in the symptoms. In the medical treatment of So-gal(消渴), one kind of herb medicine is recorded in ancent medicine literatures. That herb medicine is a juice of vegetable drunken with herb medicine of So-gal(消渴). Milk(牛乳汁), human milk(人乳汁), gam-ja-jup(甘蔗汁), wo-jul-jup(藕節汁), li-jup(梨汁), sang-gang-jup(生薑汁) etc. is that. In that juices, Milk(牛乳汁), human milk(人乳汁), gam-ja-jup(甘蔗汁), wo-jul-jup(藕節汁), li-jup(梨汁) have sweety tastes, and cold nature. So they cure So-gal(消渴) come from dry and hot nature. Sang-gang-jup(生薑汁) is different with others in the taste and nature that sweety and hot taste and hot nature. Sang-gang-jup(生薑汁) cure the sequela of So-gal(消渴) by his hot nature. We think In Diabetes Mellitus, that juice can be used by drink for the treatment of diet because of simility between So-gal(消渴) and DM.
Effects of Shihoieokgan-Tang with Other Herbs and Formulae Pretreatment on the Change of Corticosterone Induced by Immobilization Stress in Mice
Kim Hyun-Jun ; Lee Tae-Hee ;
Herbal Formula Science, volume 10, issue 2, 2002, Pages 57~72
To investigate the effect of Qi promoting-agents, clearing heat of deficiency type-agent, clearing heat of excessive type-agent, warming interior part of body-agent and Shihoieokgan-Tang against the immobilization stress, Cypri Rhizama, Auranti pericarpium, Aucklandiae Radix and Bupleuri Radix, Soyo-San, Hwangyeonhaedok-Tang, Geongangbuja-Tang and Shihoieokgan-Tang was administered intragastically 1hr prior to immobilizaiton stress and the change of corticosterone level has been measured by the flurometric method. The results obtained are as follows: 1. Qi promoting-agents(Cypri Rhizama, Auranti pericarpium, Aucklandiae Radix and Bupleuri Radix) showed mildly reducing effect or did not shown the reducing effect against the elevated coritocostereone level induced by the immobilization stress in the mice. 2. Hwangyeonhaedok-Tang, Gungangbuza-Tang, and Soyo-San did not show the reducing effect against the elevated corticostereone level induced by the immobilization stress in the mice. 3. Shihoieokgan-San was effective against the elevated corticosterone level induced by the immobililzation stress at 1g/kg, 3g/kg respectively. Consequently these data proved that Qi pomoting-agents as single herb(Cypri Rhizama, Auranti pericarpium, Aucklandiae Radix and Bupleuri Radix), clearing heat of deficiency type-agent(Soyo-San), warming interior part of the body(Gungangbuza-Tang), clearing heat of excessive type-agent(Hwangyeonhaedok-Tang) have no effect to decrease the elevated corticosterone level in mice exposed to the immobilization stress. Therefore our study revealed that Shihoieokgan-San which has the effects of herbs and formulae mentioned above decreased the elevated corticosterone level in mice exposed to the immobilization stress significantly.

Herbal Formula Science, volume 10, issue 2, 2002, Pages 73~83
The single dose toxicity of Jengjengamiyjintang, a herbal drug for duodenal ulcer was evaluated in male and female Sprague-Dawley (SD) rats. Jengjengamiyjintang was once administered to both sexes of rats at the dose levels of 2000, 1000, 500, 250 and 125mg/kg for oral route according to KFDA guidelines for single dose toxicity test (1999-61). In addition, vehicle control group was added in order to compare clinical signs, body weight changes and abnormal necropsy findings. After single administration, clinical signs were observed every twice a day for 14 days and body weights were measured 5 times including initial measurement on day 0. When observation period was over, the animals were sacrificed and macroscopic examination of major organs was conducted. Neither significant clinical signs nor death after administration was observed during the observation periods except for soft feces or diarrhea that were restricted to Day 1 of 2000 and 1000mg/kg-dosing groups. Although some accidental findings such as gross and histopathological changes of lung that were demonstrated in some animals of all experimental groups including vehicle control group, no abnormal necropsy findings and changes of body weight were observed at terminal necropsy in both sexes. From these results, it is considered that
of Jengjengamiyjintang is over 2000mg/kg in oral administration in both sexes of rats and approximated lethal dose was considered over 2000mg/kg.
Effects of Wolgukwhan Methanol Extract on Oxidative Liver Injury
Moon Jin-Young ;
Herbal Formula Science, volume 10, issue 2, 2002, Pages 85~95
Objectives: In traditional medicine, Wolgukwhan has been used for the treatment of digestive system disease, such as indigestion, brash, ructation, nausea and vomiting. This study was purposed to investigate the effects of Wolgukwhan methnol extract (WGWM) on oxidative liver cell injury. Methods: In vivo assay, we administerated acetaminophen(500mg/kg, i.p.) to starved mice 24hrs after pretreatment of WGWM for 6days. In the liver homogenates, lipid peroxide and glutathione(GSH) levels were measured. In addition, activities of hepatic enzyme, such as catalase, glutathione peroxidase(GPX), glutathione S-transferase(GST) were measured in the hepatic mitochondrial and cytosolic fractions. Results: In vivo administeration of WGWM showed effective inhibition of acetaminophen induced lipid peroxidation and elevations of glutathione level. The acetaminophen treatment resulted in a decrease of catalase, GPX and GST activities. By contrast, WGWM pretreatment increased compare to those of untreated groups. Conclusions: These results suggested that WGWM might protect against lipid peroxidation by free radicals, destruction of hepatic cell membranes.
Yookmijihwang-Tang on the Plasma Corticosterone level in Mice exposed to Heat, Cold and Immobilization Stress
Kang Young-Gun ; Lee Tae-Hee ;
Herbal Formula Science, volume 10, issue 2, 2002, Pages 97~112
In order to investigate the effect of Sagoonja-Tang, Samool-Tang and Yookmijihwang-Tang against the cold, heat and immobilization stress, each formula was injected intragastically to mice exposed to forced cold water swimming(
), forced hot water swimming(
) and immobilization stress before measuring the change of plasma corticosterone level of mice. The results were as follows: 1. One hour after each Sagoonja-Tang, Samool-Tang, Yookmijihwang-Tang with the dose of 1g/kg, 3g/kg each were administered to mice, we put cold stress(
) on mice for 3min. Then those prescriptions didn't show any significant effect on plasma corticosterone level. however, Yookmijihwang-Tang(1g/kg) showed a significant increase(p〈0.05), and Samool-Tang(3g/kg) showed a small increase. 2. One hour after Samool-Tang, Sagoonja-Tang and Yookmijihwang-Tang with the dose of 1g/kg, 3g/kg each were administerd, mice exposed to heat stress(
) for 3 min. Samool-Tang(1g/kg) and Yookmijihwang-Tang(lg/kg) showed significant decrease of corticosterone level(p〈0.01, p〈0.05) but Sagoonja-Tang didn't change it. In the case of the dose of 3g/kg, only Samool-Tang decreased corticosterone level(P〈0.01), but Sagoonja-Tang, Yookmijihwang-Tang didn't make significant effect on plasma corticosterone level of the mice exposed to heat stress(
). 3. Those mice which exposed to immobilization stress one hour after Sagoonja-Tang, Samool-Tang, Yookmijihwang-Tang with the dose of 1g/kg and 3g/kg didn't show effective decrease of corticosterone level. However, Sagoonja-Tang(3g/kg), Samool-Tang(lg/kg, 3g/kg) showed the effect of mild increase of corticosterone level rather than decrease. These data revealed that the effect-variation of prescriptions depended on the kinds of stress and the dose of prescriptions had a different effect on therapy.

Herbal Formula Science, volume 10, issue 2, 2002, Pages 113~126
Soamsan is known as an anti-cancer remedy in the traditional Korean Medicine. To enhance the synergic effects of anti-cancer activity of Soamsan, this study reconstituted the original components of Soamsan with a slight modification and produced a novel herbal remedy, namely Gamisoamsan. Extracts of Gamisoamsan inhibited the growth of cultured CT-26 cells, mouse colon adenocarcinoma, in a dose-dependent manner
, and
was estimated approximately
. Using tumor-bearing mouse model, in which was produced by subcutaneous injection of CT-26 cells (
cells). the effects of Gamisoamsan on tumor growth and host survival were examined by evaluating tumor volume and increase in life span. When Gamisoamsan extracts in variable doses of 100, 200 and 500mg/kg body weight per day were orally administered to tumor-bearing mice, following results were obtained: Improvement in the hematological parameters following Gamisoamsan treatment such as hemoglobin contents, red blood cells and white blood cells of the tumor-bearing mice have been observed. Gamisoamsan treatment also showed a prolongation of life span and a reduction of tumor volume in the CT-26 tumor hosts. The results of the present study suggest that Gamisoamsan extracts has a potential anti-tumor activity and may be an useful remedy to prevent and/or treat cancer.

Ahn Byung-Tae ; Kim Jong-Dae ; Moon Jin-Young ;
Herbal Formula Science, volume 10, issue 2, 2002, Pages 127~141
Objectives: Haeganjeon(HGJ) has been used for the treatment of liver disease in traditional medicine. The present study was carried out to evaluate the antioxidant and protective effects of HGJ extract on oxidative damage of hepatocytes by tert-butyl hydroperoxide(t-BHP). Methods: In the linoleic acid water-alcohol system, the levels of lipid peroxide(LPO) were determined by TBA method. The scavenging effect of HGJ on
(DPPH) radical was determined according to the method of Hatano. In the Fenton system(ferrous ion reaction with hydrogen peroxide), the levels of hydroxyl radical induced LPO in rat liver homogenate were determined according to the method of TBA. Inhibitory effect of HGJ on superoxide generation was measured by xanthine-xanthine oxidase system. In order to evaluate antioxidative activity of HGJ in the liver cell, cultured normal rat liver cells(Ac2F) were prepared and incubated with or without HGJ. After 18hr, cells placed in DMEM medium without serum, and then incubated with 1mM tert-butyl hydroperoxide(t-BHP) for 2hrs. Viable cells were detected by MTT assay. Conclusions: In the linoleic acid autoxidation system, HGJ extract significantly inhibited the time course of the lipid peroxidation. These effects were similar to those of BHA HGJ extracts showed about 70% scavenging effect on DPPH radical. And HGJ extract inhibited the lipid peroxide formation in rat liver homogenate induced by hydroxyl radical derived from Fenton system. In addition, HGJ extract protected the cell death induced by t-BHP and significantly increased cell viability in the normal rat liver cell. These result indicated that HGJ extract might playa protective role against oxidative hepatic cell injury by means of free radical scavenger.

Kook Yoon-Bum ; Lee Jang-Chun ; Kim Hee-Soo ;
Herbal Formula Science, volume 10, issue 2, 2002, Pages 143~158
The purpose of the present study is to determine the effect of Jakyakgamchotang on histamine or acetylcholine induced tracheal smooth muscle contraction in rats and guinea pigs. Guinea pig(500g, male) and Sprague Dawley rats(250g, male) were killed by
exposure and a segment (4-5mm) of the thoracic trachea from each rat and guinea pig was cut into equal segments and mounted 'in pairs' in a tissue bath. Contractile force was measured with force displacement transducers under 0.5g loading tension. The dose of histamine(His) which evoked 50% of maximal response(
) was obtained from cumulative dose response curves for histamine(
). Contractions evoked by His(
) were inhibited significantly by Jakyakgamchotang. In guinea pig tracheal smooth muscle, the mean percent inhibition of histamine induced contraction was 90.8% (p〈0.001) after
Jakyakgamchotang. In rat tracheal smooth muscle, the mean percent inhibition of acetylcholine induced contraction was 22.1% (p〈0.05) after
Jakyakgamchotang. Propranolol indomethacin and methylene blue(
) slightly but significantly attenuated the inhibitory effects of Jakyakgamchotang. These results indicate that Jakyakgamchotang can relax histamine or acetylcholine induced contraction of guinea pig and rat tracheal smooth muscle.

The purpose of this study was to reseach the effect of Daehwanggamchoeumja(大黃甘草飮子) and its component groups on diabetes, free radicals, and antioxidants system in Alloxan-induced diabetic rats. The experimental group was divided into three groups: Daehwanggamchoeumja(DG), and its components groups, Gamdutang (Gamcho&Daedu; DG-I) and Daehwanggamchotang(DG-2). The results were obtained as follows: 1. In the study of effect on diabetic metabolic dysfunction(Glucose, Triglyceride, Total Cholesterol, HDL Cholesterol, Total Protein, Albumin, Creatine, BUN), only DG has a significant effect. 2. In the study on free radical scavenging effect in vitro(the suppressing effect on peroxidation of linoleic acid on concentration, the scavenging effect of DPPH radical, inhibitory effect of superoxide in xanthine-xanthine oxidase system, inhibitory effect on lipid peroxidation reaction by hydroxy radical in
system, and the effect on Nitrate reductase activity), DG and DG-2 have more effect than DG-l relatively. 3. In the study on antioxidants system in vivo(The level of serum LPO, The level of hepatic LPO, Catalase, GSH, GST), only DG has a significant effect. These results suggest that Daehwanggamchoeumja(大黃甘草飮子) has an effect on diabetes, peroxidative damage by free radical, so it seems to be useful to prevent and treat diabetes. The mechanisms of these are supposed to be involved in antioxidant and three drugs' cooperative synergy effect.

The inhibitory effects of ethanol extract of Radex Angelica uchiyamana, on LPS- or IFN- plus LPS-induced production of NO, and
, and expression of iNOS and COX-2 were investigated in the activated RAW 264.7 cells. This extract significantly inhibited the production of NO and
, and suppressed the expression of iNOS and COX-2 in a dose-dependent manner. These results show that ethanol extract of Radex Angelica uchiyamana may explain some known biological activities including anti-inflammatory effect, and is of considerable benefit in the treatment for NO and pro-inflammatory cytokine overproduction related immunological diseases.

Acquired pigmentary skin diseases such as abnormal melanogenesis, vitiligo, chloasma and inflammatory pigmentation are related to regulate the melanin production. The aim of this study was to investigate the effect of Codonopsis lanceolata on the melanogenesis of HM3KO human melanoma cells biologically. The cells were treated for 5 days with Codonopsis lanceolata at several concentrations. Treatment with Codonopsis lanceolata suppressed melanin contents as a dose dependent manner without cytotoxicity and morphological change. And the extract of Codonopsis lanceolata also inhibited tyrosinase, a key enzyme forming melanin, in a dose-dependent manner. And it did not affect the DOPAchrome tautomerase(TRP-2) activity. These results suggest that Codonopsis lanceolata is a candidate for an efficient whitening agent which supresses melanogenesis by a Raper-Mason pathway.

The fruiting bodies of Isaria japonica have been traditionally used in Korea to treat cancer. An apoptosis-inducing compound, 4-Acetyl-12, 13-epoxyl -9-trichothecene-3, I5-diol (AETD), was isolated from the methanol extract of fruiting bodies of Isaria japonica Yasuda by bioassay -guided fractionation. The apoptosis of murine bladder cancer cell line (NBT-Ⅱ) by the compound was accessed by propidium iodide staining flow cytometric analysis, and apoptosis-inducing activity at
concentration (5 nmol/L) was further confirmed by a nuclear morphological change, a ladder pattern of DNA fragmentation, and an activation of caspase-3. These results indicate that AETD induces apoptosis of NBT-Ⅱ cells via expression of caspase-3.

The inhibitory effects of Injinseulki including extracts of melanian snail plus phytomedicinal plants on
-induced fibrosis,
plus LPS-induced production of NO, PMA-stimulated production
, and tacrine-induced hepatic injury were investigated in rats, RAW 264.7 or HepG2 cells. The ethanol extracts of melanian snail significantly inhibited tarcrine-induced inury of HepG2 cells. Injinseulki inhibited the production of NO and
in a dose-dependent manner in activated RAW 264.7 macrophages. Injinseulki significantly inhibited chemical-induced fibrosis in Rats. These results show that Injinseulki including extracts of melanian snail plus phytomedicinal plants may explain some known biological activities of Injinseulki including their anti-inflammatory and anti-fibrotic effect, and is of considerable benefit in the treatment for live diseases.

This study was performed to investigate the effects of fermented extract of Pinus densiflora (FPD) on oxygen radicals and
-induced damage. The results are as follows: 1. The 1.1-diphenyl-2-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH) free radicals were considerably reduced by FPD and
value was showed the concentration of 20 ㎍/㎖. 2. The cytotoxicity did not observe by FPD treatment in A548 cells. 3. The
-induced cell damage was recovered by FPD pretreatment in A549 cells. These results suggest that FPD, as a natural antioxidant, has scavenging effect of free radicals and protection effect from
-induced cytotoxicity.

GUANTANAMO BAY, Cuba — Wearing a white turban and sporting a long gray beard streaked with red henna, Khalid Sheik Mohammed, the man who boasts of organizing the Sept. 11, 2001, attacks, was arraigned in a military commission here Saturday on charges that could one distant day lead to the death penalty.
A case that has stuttered across two administrations — beginning with, leaving and returning to the military over the past four years — opened with Mohammed, his four co-defendants, and their military and civilian defense lawyers sending clear signals, that they will make every effort to disrupt and delay the proceeding.
The five men are charged with murder in violation of the law of war, hijacking and terrorism, among other charges. All of them deferred entering a plea. The case is likely to be the most public and contested examination of the reformed military commissions that were backed by the Obama administration and approved by Congress in 2009.
The normally loquacious Mohammed refused to speak publicly throughout Saturday's hearing, a stance that was largely adopted by all the other defendants, who tend to follow his lead. Mohammed sat at the top defense table in the spacious courtroom, and throughout the hearing he whispered messages to his comrades, and they chatted and joked with one another during a short recess.
During the hearing, Mohammed, a 47-year-old Pakistani, often kept his chin in his chest, and refused to speak to the military judge, Army Col. James Pohl, about whether he wanted to keep his military and civilian counsel or represent himself. The others followed suit.
Mohammed's civilian attorney, David Nevin, said the reason his client was not participating was because of the "torture that was imposed on him."
After their capture, each of the men were held at secret CIA prisons overseas before being transferred in September 2006 to Guantanamo Bay, where they are held at a small, high-security facility known as Camp 7. Mohammed was waterboarded 183 times in the first month after his capture in March 2003, according to government reports.
As the biggest terrorism case in U.S. history gets underway, proponents and critics of the system are engaged in an increasingly short-tempered war of words about justice and legitimacy.
James Connell, who represents Ali Abdul Aziz Ali, Mohammed's nephew, said the government's monitoring of communications between the detainees and their lawyers violates "the critical right to a meaningful attorney-client relationship necessary for an adversarial system to function."
The government insists it is only implementing normal security procedures.
"Every detainee at Guantanamo has ample opportunity to get the help of lawyers, and there are notable examples of robust and functional attorney-client relationships being formed and of zealous, effective representation being provided," said Brig. Gen. Mark Martins, the chief military prosecutor.
Just 25 minutes into the proceeding, the video and audio feed to the public was cut for one minute and replaced with white noise when an attorney for Walid bin Attash said something that an in-court security officer deemed to be classified. The proceedings are broadcast with a 40-second delay so classified information will not be divulged.
Human rights groups said one test of the court's credibility will be whether the defendants will be allowed to talk publicly about how they were interrogated while in CIA custody and discuss the physical and psychological effects of their treatment. Martins said testimony will be blocked only to protect sources and methods, not to hide embarrassing or illegal acts. But human rights groups fear that all material relating to CIA interrogations will be classified.
The administration said the new system of military commissions, which bars the use of testimony elicited from torture, would offer due process and a fair trial to a select group of defendants accused of law of war violations. But defense lawyers, backed by advocacy groups such as the American Civil Liberties Union and Human Rights Watch, argue that commissions are no substitute for federal criminal trials and lack some key protections because of, for instance, a tolerance for hearsay.
Attash, a Yemeni, was initially brought into court in a restraint chair after he refused to attend, but the restraints were removed when his military attorney said he would not disrupt the proceeding.
Attash's civilian lawyer, Cheryl Borman, who wore a full-length black hijab in court, said the men were also silent because they were "mistreated" before court by the guards at Guantanamo. She said her client and the others were not allowed to wear the clothes provided by their attorneys.
Borman also suggested that women on the prosecution team should dress appropriately because the defendants might "commit a sin" if they looked at them as they are currently dressed. Three women on the prosecution side were wearing knee-length skirts. And one wore a pair of red, white and blue sling-back heels.
Two of the defendants, Ramzi Binalshibh, a Yemeni, and Ali, a Pakistani, also stood in the middle of the proceeding and began to pray. Ali, at another point, began to read the Economist and passed it back to Mustafa al-Hawsawi, a Saudi, who also leafed through it.
Binalshibh momentarily broke the official silence with an outburst saying that leadership at Guantanamo is like Moammar Gaddafi. "The era of Gaddafi is over, but not in this camp," he shouted at the judge. "Maybe they are going to kill us and say that we are committing suicide."
Pohl warned him that if he continued to speak out of turn, he would be removed from the courtroom. He then settled down.
"The co-defendants are intentionally seeking to avoid due process. It will not be a successful strategy," said Patrick White, president of Families of Flight 93, by e-mail from Shanksville, Pa. "Prosecution will continue and justice will be served."
Pohl said he would not allow Mohammed and the others to "frustrate" the proceeding. In the their silence, he said, they had, by default, accepted their lawyers. The judge also appeared frustrated by the repeated attempts by defense counsel to discuss various issues, including their ability to communicate confidentially with their clients. Pohl said the matter could be dealt with only after the arraignment.
As is normal in military cases, the judge was questioned by defense lawyers to see if he had any biases. Pohl refused to discuss what religious beliefs, if any, he held. Asked if he had an opinion on the enhanced interrogation techniques employed by the CIA, Pohl said he had not formed an opinion, although he noted he had read a book by former FBI agent Ali Soufan, a major critic of how the CIA treated detainees.
The prosecution asked that the trial start Aug. 1. The defense asked for a delay of at least a year, and the judge seemed inclined to grant the request, saying he would decide at the next hearing in June. One of the defendants insisted that the 87-page charge sheet, which includes the names of all 2,976 victims, be read, which meant the hearing would continue into the night.
Proceedings were beamed to six military sites in the eastern United States where families of victims could watch them. The arraignment was also screened for the media and the public at Fort Meade in Maryland, and more than 50 foreign and American journalists traveled to Guantanamo for the hearing, as did a number of advocates from human rights groups. At Guantanamo, the media, public and the relatives of victims sit behind soundproof glass and listen to an audio feed.
The case against the five men has had a convoluted and politically charged journey.
The Bush administration first arraigned the defendants in June 2008, when Mohammed was seen in public for the first time after his long detention and proclaimed his desire for martyrdom. The Obama administration ended that case as part of its plan to transfer the 9/11 prosecution to New York, but that effort, like the broader attempt to close the military detention facility here, collapsed in the face of bipartisan opposition.
Attorney General Eric H. Holder Jr. returned the case to the military last year. The selection of a jury of military officers and opening arguments are probably more than a year away because of an expected deluge of pretrial litigation. And any verdict can be appealed to the federal courts.

Croteam will made good on their promises to bring Serious Sam 3: BFE to consoles, starting with the Xbox 360. The insane FPS sequel will be making an Autumn downloadable debut on Xbox Live Arcade, and if that isn't enough, Mommy's Best Games' brutal and brilliant indie shooter Serious Sam: Double D will also be hitting as a extras-packed XXL version.
You'd better bet on Sam. More details below.
The XBLA version of Serious Sam 3: BFE plans to "feature all the fast-paced, brutal action Serious Sam fans love," and will take advantage of the "deep online capabilities" of Xbox Live Arcade (whatever that means). We don't reckon that 16-player cooperative functionality will make it in, but we can expect at least four on top of competitive multiplayer. It's slated for an Autumn release, price TBA.
"Serious Sam fans have been asking for Serious Sam 3: BFE to come to Xbox LIVE Arcade and we're very excited to launch on the platform this fall," said Roman Ribaric, CEO of developer Croteam. "All the high-octane action and over-the-top violence will be intact so Xbox LIVE Arcade gamers will get the full Serious Sam 3: BFE experience!"
Serious Sam 3 proved to be extremely divisive thanks to a somewhat restrictive opening third, but it opens out into a glorious murder playground featuring insane 16-player co-op. We nominated it as our FPS of the year after a glowing 9/10 review, and spoiler alert: it's properly serious.
Just as excitingly, Serious Sam: Double D will also be hitting XBLA - with some serious retooled functionality. On top of the original 18 campaign levels and 12 challenge maps, Serious Sam Double D XXL will feature new campaign missions, new challenges, new enemies, Gunstacker upgrades, and better yet, a two-player local cooperative mode.
"Xbox LIVE Arcade gamers are going to get so much insane Serious Sam action this summer it's going to make their televisions bleed," claimed (the fictional marketing construct) Fork Parker, CFO of Devolver Digital. "Call the paramedics, homey. Your flat screen TV just took another headshot from Serious Sam."
Nathan Fouts, The veteran weapon designer from Resistance, Ratchet & Clank and Postal delivered a balls-out action platformer, which we rated 9/10 when it released last summer.

"Marathon" is a word that's been bouncing around in my head for a few years now. I wanted to run my first marathon in 2015, but my parents urged me to wait until I aged out from drum corps and finish college before I did my first full. I filled the void with half-marathons as best I could, but since coming off tour in 2016 (yes, over a year ago), my sights have been set on finishing 26.2. I started working at Fleet Feet, found myself surrounded by distance runners and constantly helping people who were pushing themselves to complete their goals, and kept chugging on my own path.

text: I am starting this thread hoping it will help me and other people who have an online business and needs some advises on how to promote an online business. So, i have an online business and i have to say that i am somehow confused on how to promote my business and generate leads / sales. I have read a lot about marketing and this few options are on top in a random order: 1. seo 2. ppc 3. adwords 4. facebook 5. e- m ail marketing (no spam) 6. flyers / cards / brochures distribution I will take each one and discuss it a little bit, let me know if you agree with me or share your opinions. 1. SEO: anyone wants to be on the first page on google (its the new gold chase of modern world), but for a lot of keywords the competition is huge. There are a lot of companies that could be found online that do SEO. But that is another discussion: which is good, which is bad, which uses white hat, which uses black hat. So, few questions raises: a. How do you choose your SEO company b. How or when do you pay the company? c. Is their payment plan a good indicator that its a legit / good company? d. Do you need maintenance after you reached first page? 2. PPC: heard and read a lot of stories about this, but i have to say that this is a little in a shade, at least for me, some people found success using this method, some didn't, a lot are saying that its a waste of time, is it? My questions: a. PPC really helps? b. Is it expensive? c. Which companies to use? d. Is the traffic they bring a real traffic? 3. Aswords: i used adwords for one of my business, its a good way to market your business and its a simple way to do it. The thing is that adwords also help you in finding if your site needs improvement or not before doind SEO or a larger / more expensive promoting company using other ways to do it then adwords. You will be able to learn if your price is to big, to small (and people will doubt the quality of your service or product), you will be able to learn if your selling page(s) are good or not, basically you can use a relatively simple way to learn more about your business (especially if you are at the beginning). More that that if you do it good and wise adwords can bring you good profit. Adwords is also good for learning which keywords are good for using for SEO. So, my advise: --- experiment, experiment, experiment, when you are using Adwords especially if you are at the beginning. You will learn so MUCH about your business in a way that you didn't even thought before doing Adwords. So, adwords is good even on long term if the keywords are not expensive. 4. Facebook: what can i say about facebook as anyone uses it, we cannot leave without it (as least some of us), so, i know that facebook is food because: a. Its cheaper that google ads (for the majority of keywords) b. You can grow your facebook fans through facebook ads or via a good and attractive faceboook page, so, you can interact with your possible customers c. Give them something for free in a given period for a LIKE and your page will be even more appealing for your possible customers I really think that facebook its better and already started to replace blogs, am i right? 5. E- m ail marketing: i read about it, but its unclear for me. My questions: a. Is it effective? b. Who does that? c. How could you be sure that you wont spam or the company you hire wont spam d. How could this be done legit? e. Are there good, honest companies that do that? f. Is it expensive? g. How targeted could it be? 6. Flyers / cards / brochures distribution: i recently read about this and i came to the conclusion that it could be a very good way to promote your business if its done right. I read that is very important to: a. Have a very good copy b. The most recommended are cards or brochures c. To use a good company to deliver your cards or brochures directly to the prospects mailbox - companies can do that - its that expensive as i thought d. To deliver them in batches and use 2 or 3 type of cards / brochures to see which is more effective and also to deliver them in different areas If you use other ways to promote an online business please feel free to write it down. As well, share your experience with us so we can learn from it. Let me know what you think of each option i named above. Thank you for reading.
