Julie had kept her illness under wraps, and on one of the few occasions when she had spoken publicly, she revealed how it was affecting her. "It makes learning my lines very difficult. Because of that I've been happy to stay away from films and stage work," the Daily Express quoted her as saying. "I have turned down a lot of offers from Hollywood producers and West End directors," she added.
Julie was named Best Actress at the strike-blighted Globes ceremony for her role as Fiona Anderson, an Alzheimer's victim, in 'Away From Her'. Though the movie bears no relation to Julie's own private life, Fiona's inability to retain memories resonated deeply with her. "I marvel at people with good memories but I would not like the memory of a friend, for example, who recalls everything and so is slightly blighted with persistent nostalgia," she said.
"That's a bit sad. Now I can't remember any bad things, only the good things, if I can remember anything about my past at all," she added. Hollywood and the cast and crew of the movie 'Away From Her', knew nothing about what was going on in Christie's real life. "I am absolutely astonished to learn this. She impressed throughout filming as nothing less than a consummate professional," a senior member of the production team said. "My heart goes out to her. No one would guess she had any trouble remembering her lines," the member added.

May 7-8 2019, Berlin, Germany
Read more about this biennale
All across the globe, countries face big challenges in their working and learning systems, both qualitatively (the need for lifelong learning and the updating/upskilling of people, reducing poverty and illiteracy) as well as quantitatively (demographic challenges, drop-outs, (im)migration, retention).
Much research has been done (and is going on) on the added value of the learning outcomes approach in National Qualification Frameworks (NQFs), the effectiveness of Human Resources Management-systems (HRM) and the methods for Validation of Prior Learning (VPL).
Validation for integration and growth!
Globalisation, digitalisation and migration are changing the way we work and learn. Increasing skills mismatches and the challenge to integrate all learners into work and education call actors from formal, non-formal and informal sectors to action. Validation of prior learning (VPL) as a stimulus and 'guide' for sustainable personal, organisational and societal development is more relevant than ever.
Join us in drafting and adopting the Berlin Declaration on VPL!
The mission of the 3rd VPL Biennale is to bring together VPL experts, practitioners and policy-makers from all sectors dealing with validation. We want to provide a forum where you can exchange knowledge, ideas and visions on how to make VPL policies work. The collection of good practices and recommendations will result in the formulation and public adoption of the Berlin Declaration on VPL. This declaration paves the way for a stronger and more sustainable implementation of VPL.
Six policy areas in focus!
The 3rd VPL Biennale focuses on taking stock of what has been achieved in terms of policy development and implementation in recent years and how to move forward. Six VPL policy areas will be investigated:
- Organisational arrangements
- Financing
- Procedures and instruments
- Support structures
- Follow up
- Legal foundations
The following questions will be the organising principle for the work sessions.
- How can bridges be built among stakeholders from the worlds of business, volunteering, and education in order for VPL results to have value?
- What forms of financing have to be in place in order to make VPL accessible to all learners?
- What kinds of procedures and instruments provide valid results and can cater for a large number of candidates?
- What support structures have to be available in order to reach disadvantaged learners?
- What measures of follow-up are required for validation to facilitate further learning and career paths?
- What issues need to be addressed by laws and regulations for VPL to be effective?

Elmore Leonard was not precious in his writing. He was a storyteller and an acute observer of human behavior (particularly the illicit kind), getting his start writing westerns in the '50s, then segueing to crime fiction in the late '60s. His economical narratives and sharp, colorful dialogue seemed a natural match for cinema, and yet, Hollywood being Hollywood, many of the adaptations turned out poorly. Delmer Daves's 3:10 TO YUMA and Budd Boetticher's THE TALL T were early triumphs, and Martin Ritt's HOMBRE was solid, but there was a spell throughout the '70s and '80s where his work was desecrated like so much Jackie Collins. It wasn't until Barry Sonnenfeld's GET SHORTY in 1995 that the full, idiosyncratic flavor of Leonard's mobbed-up yarns were approximated for the big screen. From this point forward, Hollywood got it gloriously right more often than they got blew it: JACKIE BROWN, OUT OF SIGHT, the short-lived ABC series KAREN SISCO and the still-going-strong JUSTIFIED more than atone for botch jobs like BE COOL and FREAKY DEAKY.
Leonard has been such a vital part of the popular culture lately that his passing at the age of eighty-seven feels akin to losing Raymond Chandler right before the publication of THE LONG GOODBYE. Leonard was cooking, damn it. His latest novel, RAYLAN (inspired by the widespread affection for JUSTIFIED), found that old lean-and-mean groove, and sustained itself right to its immensely satisfying conclusion. This wasn't Howard Hawks taking a good-natured curtain call with RIO LOBO; this was a master craftsman writing with the spirit and invention of a man half his age. Leonard seemed unstoppable.
As with many of the great pulp practitioners, Leonard leaves behind a bookstore section's worth of novels and short story collections, and though they are finite in number, they are blessed with the virtue of being eminently re-readable. They also work in familiar characters from other novels, all of whom toe that line between doing the right thing and the very wrong thing - and it's always a blast to see how far under their worst impulses pull them. Once you're immersed in Leonard's world (especially his beloved/detested Detroit), you'll pile up the paperbacks at your bedside (or load up your Kindle if that's your thing), and you'll want to stay there forever. Given his prolificacy, it's remarkable how few of Leonard's books can be labeled genuine disappointments. To tell you the truth, I've never regretted the time spent with a single Leonard tome; some are more satisfying than others, but they all sing with that inimitable vulgar banter (Speaking of singing, has anyone ever tried to make a musical out of a Leonard book? They should.)
Leonard wasn't much for sentiment, so perhaps this is why I'm not moping around my living room as I do when someone whose work I adore dies. I never met the man, but he was a constant presence in my life, one of the most reliable sources of entertainment I knew. His books, the movies based on his books, the TV series... they just make me smile. So while I am heartbroken by the news of his passing, and would like to express my condolences to his family and friends, I'm looking up at my copy of TISHOMINGO BLUES, thinking about the Dixie Mafia and other elements I'll not spoil for the uninitiated, and, goddamn it, I'm smiling. Few writers have ever given me this much pleasure. Then again, judging from this classic New York Times column by Mr. Leonard, few writers respected their readers to such a degree. Thank you, sir. I'd say more, but I'm afraid of veering into hooptedoodle.
Faithfully submitted,
Mr. Beaks

Northern Virginia Paver Driveways, patios – A Home Owner's Best Investment
Evergreen Landscapes, LLC Patios, Paver Driveways
Studies have shown that landscaping is the best investment a homeowner can make. It can increase your home's value by up to 15 percent. Here are some interesting articles on this subject.
"As an investment, landscaping can increase the value of your property by as much as 20 percent–if it is done well." This Old House magazine April 2003
"Spending 5 percent of the total value of your home on landscaping, and doing it wisely, you can add 15 percent or more to the value of your home." Smart Money magazine March 2003
"According to a joint study by Clemson University and the University of Maryland, potential home buyers will pay up to 11.3 percent above the asking price for homes with thoughtfully-designed landscaping." Mid-Valley Sunday (Corvallis, OR) April 13, 2003
Make a realistic budget. One rule of thumb is to invest 5 to 15 percent of your house's worth into landscaping. If this seems steep, consider that appropriate landscape improvements are estimated to return 100 to 200 percent of their cost when a house is sold. You can rely on Evergreen to transform your property, while giving you peace of mind, knowing that you're dealing with a company that promotes honesty, integrity, and customer satisfaction as its highest principals.

The UK Government is planning to bail out participants in the failing Private Finance Initiative for procurement, sources revealed in the UK press this week. The private finance element of many of the ambitious education, healthcare and transport plans had been faltering as a direct consequence of the credit crunch, one source said last week, "At the moment, people are not willing to lend long-term. This is about getting the PFI firms access to long-term credit."
Education and healthcare had been seen as safe havens in amongst the malaise of the residential and commercial sectors but are also heavily reliant on private finance. Launched in 1992 the scheme was devised to put the onus of construction risk onto the private sector. However, Vince Cable the Liberal Democrat Treasury spokesman was critical of the whole scheme, saying last week, "The PFI process is in difficulty because commercial partners will not come forward. It was always a questionable financial mechanism and now it is now in the deepest difficulty."
An official statement is expected this week to address speculation that about 100 school and hospital projects worth £2.4 billion GBP are effectively on hold. In the last six months, only a handful of projects have started.

back issue profile: #15/
Issue #15 is lovingly called the 'science issue' around the office. In this issue we investigated the creative side of science and were enthralled with the small bits of matter that, when assembled, create something greater. On the softer side, coloured molecular orbs of baubles and beads were the components of stunning jewellery and art. The flat plane saw pixels, points and grids create a framework for two-dimensional creativity.
This issue included our special 'Beautiful Bitmaps' special feature (preview it here). For this section, 26 typographers, designers and illustrators interpreted a vestigial component of digital type, the bitmap.

It snowed late Friday night/early Saturday morning, leaving a light white dusting.

JORDANIC DERIVISM (di`rīv ism), n. a philosophy developed by American philosopher Frank L. Jordan III that has as its core principle the assertion that it was inherently necessary for the fundamental realities of the early universe (e.g., primordial chemical elements, light, gravity, and electromagnetism) to be what they intrinsically were because they derived directly from the Ultimate Reality, which is Pure Love Personified — or God — therefore forming a basic manifestation of God. Furthermore, derivism asserts that the reality behind this principle has impacted and continues to impact the development of the universe.
~ ~ ~
Did God have any choice in creating the universe? – Albert Einstein
For me, this has always been one of Einstein's most fascinating ponderings. Is he asking, "Did God have any choice in whether or not he created the universe?" Or is he asking, "Did God have any choice in how he created the universe?"
Both questions are incredibly profound. And although I do have some thoughts on the first one, it's the second one that has really grabbed me for so many years. It's that second question that has inspired me to dedicate so much of my life to apprehending the answer.
This quest has led me to some startling realizations. The universe is not simply a creation of a Supreme Being that we call God. It is more accurate to recognize the universe as a manifestation — an unfolding manifestation — of Pure Love Personified.
When the universe first came into existence with the Big Bang, it derived directly from this Pure Love. The birth of the universe was the initial basic manifestation of Pure Love Personified — or God. Therefore, the fundamental realities of that early universe (e.g., primordial chemical elements, light, gravity, and electromagnetism) had to be what they intrinsically were. It was an inherent necessity that these realities be what they were. This is the core principle on which the philosophy of derivism* is based.
The reality behind this principle has impacted and continues to impact the development and evolution of our universe in amazing ways. An understanding of the dynamics between God (Pure Love) and his/her unfolding manifestation (the universe) is chronicled in my collection of verse essays entitled ~SOUNDINGS~: Exploring the Depths of God and the Universe. This collection can be found in its entirety here at revolutionarynewphilosophy.com.
So to answer Einstein's question "Did God have any choice in creating the universe?" I'd have to answer it with another question:
Does a musician have any choice in whether or not to use music when creating a composition?
* * *
*The philosophy of derivism introduced in ~SOUNDINGS~ is not the religious doctrine found at the website or in the book Derivism: A New Understanding in a New Age. Each author arrived at the term derivism independently. The philosophy introduced here is specified as Jordanic derivism.

The law handbook - your practical guide to the law in New South Wales, edited by Vani Sripathy and Lorain Ogle, 6th edition, Redfern Legal Centre Publishing, Sydney, 1997, 1140pp, $60.
HAVING SPENT SIX YEARS AT LAW SCHOOL and then six months of torture at the College of Law, I thought I knew everything there was to know about law and legal practice. Then I started my first job as a solicitor in a general practice at Blacktown. It was sink or swim all the way. I was nervous. I sought help. I rang my uncle (also a solicitor).
After calming me down, my uncle gave me one piece of invaluable advice. He said, "If a new client comes in and asks you about an area of law you know peanuts about, always read up on it in the Law Handbook."
To this day, his advice rings true. The Redfern Legal Centre's Law Handbook is without a doubt the best cure to the jitters experienced by graduate solicitors. In fact, even the most experienced practitioner will find it useful. And with the publication of the 6th Edition, the Handbook has become even better. And it is quite current as well, with the law stated as at May 1997.
The new edition appears to be better arranged than previous editions. It is a masterpiece of plain English law, and covers just about every aspect of law as it affects the common person. Scattered throughout the text are summaries of decided cases, which are presented not as legal precedents but more as practical examples of how the law applies in real life. The arrangement of the chapters makes it extremely user friendly.
At the end of each chapter is a useful guide on helpful resources (including internet sites for surfers), as well as a comprehensive list of names and addresses of government departments and other agencies related to the area covered. This makes the book even more useful for a practitioner, combining as it does, a reference, a bibliography and an address and phone directory.
Given that the book is so useful to lawyers, how much more useful would it be to the average non-lawyer? And can you imagine its value if it were translated into common community languages such as Arabic or Vietnamese? A very expensive project, I admit. But certainly one for governments and ethnic community organisations to consider especially in these times of legal aid cutbacks and increasing complexity in the law.
But don't just take my word for it. Go out and buy one, and see for yourself. With over 75 contributors and at only $60, it's well worth the investment.
(This book review was first published in the Law Society Journal in November 1997. The Law Handbook continues to be an invaluable resource for lawyers and sensible people alike. By the time I finish formatting this article, the Handbook's 10th edition may have been released.)

What is Physical Culture?
At the dawning of the Iron Age of the barbell, the essence of bodybuilding and physical fitness flourished as one under a broad umbrella term known as Physical Culture. But what exactly is this faded and almost forgotten concept that seemed to take on much diversity through the 20th century? The following arbitrary analysis of Physical Culture is extracted from Volume I of "Muscle, Smoke & Mirrors"
This mid-19th century phrase is defined by The Oxford Dictionary as
"The sum total of a society's activities and attitudes connected with physical development and education."
. . . We can assume from this that the aspects of Physical Culture would vary from culture to culture. Recognizing this tremendous potential for variance in definition due to ethnic influences, the effect of so much cultural integration, as demonstrated in North America, must be taken into consideration.
With awareness of such diversity, it would be conjectured that the development of one's Physical Culture would come to derive more from individual persuasion over that of a single national influence. It is not our intent to examine extensively just what makes us who or what we are, but much of our very nature is often expressed through our own personal Physical Culture. Exercise, diet, hygiene, educational, and spiritual pursuits all play significant roles in shaping the impact of our individual presence. Obviously from these variables alone the philosophical permutations are tremendous in terms of governing one's own Physical Culture.
For many, life may be as simple as a strong, banal focus on purely the physical, with little or no exploration of any other horizons. However, for some in the pursuit of a richer enlightenment, it's a constant seeking of a symphonic balance between the conditioning of the body, the cultivation of the mind, and a continuous unfolding growth of the spirit, all the while maintaining a harmony with their natural environment. In actuality, everyone practices their own Physical Culture whether or not they're even aware of its meaning. A number of our pioneers of bodybuilding referred to themselves as "Physical Culturists" with their own constituted framework of the term.
by Randy Roach, Muscle, Smoke & Mirrors
We follow in the footsteps of revolutionary physical culturists of the early 1900's; exploring all horizons of fitness and health–from the "alternative" to the controversial. We will be using this website to bring back the lost wisdom of Strength & Health from our forefathers of old-time Physical Culture, as well as exploring modern literature pertaining to such subjects.
We are also using this website to collect information and data that we find useful to our own training and well-being. This site will be a compilation of articles and research, so those who have similar interests as us can come here and learn.
We will also occasionally create some original infographics/memes/etc and write some original articles, based on the research we have found. We will try to produce informative memes, as well as humorous and inspirational ones.

Turkey's Erdogan says strong presidency not 'personal issue'
ANKARA, Turkey – Renewing a call for constitutional changes that would turn Turkey's political system into a presidential one, President Recep Tayyip Erdogan says he does not want the changes for himself but for Turkey's political stability.
His comments Thursday during an address to civil society groups were a response to critics who fear that Erdogan — who has displayed increasingly authoritarian tendencies — is eyeing a one-man rule. The current system gives the president limited powers.
Erdogan said: "The presidential system is not Tayyip Erdogan's personal issue."
Erdogan says the matter should be decided by the people in a referendum, not just by parliament.
A parliamentary committee is scheduled to begin meetings next week on making Turkey's constitution more democratic. Opposition parties oppose changes that would give Erdogan far-reaching powers.

THE new Novaris SL series of plug-in surge protectors provides protection against induced surges and transients in twisted pair signalling lines.
Available from Control Logic , they can be used to protect PLC I/O, PLC signalling interfaces, fire and security systems, telecommunications and telemetry, railway signalling, and other industrial monitoring and control equipment.
Multistage protection is included in each plug-in module, which may be easily changed whilst the DIN rail mount base module containing the wiring terminals remains intact.
As well as models suitable for most signalling schemes a series surge protector for 12V and 24V power circuits and a range of interposing relays are available.
The new Novaris SL plug-in protector is only 7mm wide. It maximises space within marshalling cubicles and allows for easy retrofit. It can simply replace two 4mm terminals with room to spare.
The plug-in surge protection modules allow for easy, quick and cost effective replacement. The failsafe design means identification of a module failure is straightforward, as the circuit will open an isolate the line.

WildStar, they serve as the omnipresent arm of the Dominion, the inscrutable Eldan-built enforcers of the government's will. And since they're cool-looking robots, they're naturally the sort of race that pretty much everyone will have plenty of questions about beyond what was revealed in the recent post giving players a chance to meet them.
We had a chance to speak with lead narrative designer Chad Moore regarding all three of the Dominion races announced thus far, and the Mechari are the last on deck. This does not mean that they're the least interesting, as you probably guessed. So if you're interested in playing the role of a robot living in an organic world, it would behoove you to find out a few more tidbits about them.
And the bright side is that you don't have to ask the Mechari any questions. They like to be the ones asking the questions, after all.

Plus, I am basically wheelchair-bound and these are cushy and are truly easy to get on and off. even though they don't always look it!

I work on my feet and need a pair to wear on my long shifts and these are great, very comfortable! The only thing I would change is the width of the strap across the ankle, it's a bit wide for that part. If it was thinner I think it would be more comfortable. Overall a great shoe!
I am so happy with these shoes. They are amazingly comfortable and they're also so pretty (and comfort and beauty don't often go together when it comes to shoes, imo). Earth brands are my go-to for shoes.

I stand on my feet ALL DAY! I have been having lots of foot pain in my pads. Went to doctor and told me to buy some brooks and he put some tarsal pad underneath the sole, it has helped some. Was wondering if these had lots of padding up front where your feet pads are? I have one pair of earth shoes and they are not comfortable at all.

Keselowski unfazed by latest NASCAR points penalty
SPARTA, Ky. (AP) — Brad Keselowski's standing in the chase for his second consecutive NASCAR Sprint Cup Series championship is an encouraging sign of where his team is headed.
The Penske Racing driver foresees a better outlook once his team gets a handle on the circuit's rules process.
Keselowski was docked six points by NASCAR on Tuesday after his No. 2 Ford failed post-race inspection at Dover for being too low. Combined with April's 25-point penalty for having an illegal part at Texas, he enters this weekend's race at Pocono Raceway 10th in points instead of possibly fourth.
While neither the team nor Keselowski disputes NASCAR's latest punishment, Keselowski said it has them more determined to bounce back and earn their first victory of the season, which they believe is within reach.
"I completely understood this week's (penalty) and kind of stick up for NASCAR on that one. The other one, not so much," Keselowski said during a promotional stop Wednesday at Kentucky Speedway.
"But at this point, it kind of is what it is and you have to move forward and focus on the task at hand, which is having a strong run through the summer, winning races and be in position for the Chase."
Keselowski is coming off a fifth-place run at Dover, his fifth top-five this season and the first since Bristol in March. He jumped two spots to eighth in points before the penalty that dropped him back down to the 10th and final spot in the Chase.
Before returning to one of the five tracks he won on last season in a Dodge, Keselowski and the Penske team met in North Carolina to discuss the penalties that included a $25,000 fine for crew chief Paul Wolfe.
Sunday marked the first race back for Wolfe and several crew members for Keselowski and teammate Joey Logano after serving a three-race suspension — reduced from six on appeal — for the Texas infraction. The team issued a statement Tuesday blaming a broken part for the violation but added that it won't appeal the penalty.
"Did it affect the car's performance and racing condition? Probably not," Keselowski said of the part's failure. "But the rules are what the rules are, and they said the car must return statically and the car didn't.
"It was just a simple installation issue that we addressed, and you kind of shrug your shoulders and say these things happen, let's try not to let them happen again and move on."
With eight top-10 finishes entering the second half of the Sprint Cup's regular season, Keselowski likes where things are despite the penalties and expects improvement now that everyone is back.
"I don't have to make anything up. I'm already in the Chase as it stands today," he said. "That's an important part to acknowledge...
"I'd like to see us perform at a higher level, absolutely. I want to have wins. But I'm not throwing out an anchor and panicking. I don't think we're that far off."

Matt, According to the FCC data base, you are a Technician Class licensee. Please go back and re-read the material you studied to obtain your license. Amateur stations are limited to 1.5 kW power output. EIRP, or effective isotropic radiated power, is power output multipilied by antenna gain. In this case, my power output was 160 watts. The difference between that and the 5 kW eirp I cited was supplied by antenna gain less coax loss. My good friend Dave Blaschke, W5UN, has run 2 megawatts eirp on 2 meters for 15 years. I've been in his shack at the time and his Bird wattmeter indicated 1500 watts output. 73, Ray ---- Via the sarex mailing list at AMSAT.ORG courtesy of AMSAT-NA.

Nearly two months ! I would be lying if I said I was thinking about posting something here. As a matter of fact, I bumped into my own blog by chance. I was doing an ego search when I caught a glimpse of that rusty jalopy. Imagine my surprise ! Opening the webpage revealed a poignant scene – A post named Random something, with a timestamp pointing to the distant past. That had me scurrying me over to the Dashboard.
Well, here's something to live up to the good name of the blog : Make love and be merry, for tomorrow you may catch some disgusting skin disease. Let's see if someone catches that reference.
In other news, I'm still jobless and in need of a social life that delivers the following : Rampant sex ( with free contraceptive supplies ), … hmm, that's about it, I guess.
Let's see if I can get Calvin to sign off for me … ah !
Well, here's to me having an epiphany that concerns life, death and 42.
… more like a truck than a jalopy, on second thought.

"Ironman is a dream goal for many"
We meet up with Timo Bracht, former twice European Ironman champion and one of the most successful German Ironman athletes of the last decade. Having combined being a family father and a successful athlete for 13 years, Bracht has not only become an integral initiator and member of Team 'Sport For Good', but also a mentor to a lot of amateur athletes and very talented young athletes like his teammate Julian Beuchert. In this clip we visit Bracht in his home town of Eberbach, where he takes us on a family kayak trip and training swim in the Neckar river. We also join him during training sessions with Julian Beuchert and at the Ironman 70.3 in Ruegen, Germany. Short interviews with his wife Bettina, his son Andre and also with Julian Beuchert round off this clip.
Ironman Backstage
This clip looks behind the scenes of the European Ironman circuit and Thomas Dieckhoff, Ironman President Europe, Middle East and South Africa, gives us an insight into the runnings of the Ironman organization. With 46 events, 80,000 to 90,000 participants and more than 2 million spectators a year Ironman has grown into one of the trend disciplines amongst the endurance sports. A key factor in running these events is the involvement of volunteers and we talk to a number of different volunteers at the 70.3 World Championship in Zell Am See, Austria and find out what excites them about working at an Ironman event and what makes Ironman such a special sport.
Motivation Ironman
Reigning Ironman World Champion Sebastian Kienle and 2 times European Champion Timo Bracht explain the motivation behind doing Ironman triathlon. With the inconceivable distances consisting of a 2.4-mile (3.86 km) swim, a 112-mile (180.25 km) bicycle ride and a marathon 26.2-mile (42.2 km) run one of the most physically and mentally demanding endurance sports in the world. Both athletes reveal how they motivate themselves to clock up more than 20,000 kilometers of training in a year and how even they sometimes question what they are doing. They also explain the secrets behind overcoming the 'dark periods' in races, those moments when their bodies tell them to stop, but their minds urge them to carry on and cross the Ironman finish line.
Ironman Equipment
Reigning Ironman World Champion Sebastian Kienle talks about how important the technical development of the Ironman equipment has been for the progression of the sport and explains the key parts of his equipment: the neoprene suit for swimming, the bike and the helmet for cycling and the shoes for running. He shines a light on how material changes and advances in technology have helped to improve the athletes' performances and we also join him at the Mercedes Benz wind tunnel, where aerodynamics tests help him to optimize his bike performance.
Sebastian Kienle – The Defending Champion
With the 2015 Ironman World Championship in Kona, Hawaii, just around the corner, we meet up with defending champion Sebastian Kienle from Germany in his hometown Muehlacker. Kienle relives last year's triumph and lets us join him during his training sessions in preparation for the 70.3 Ironman World Championship in Zell am See and the season's highlight in Hawaii. We also accompany him at the 70.3 World Championship and get his outlook for his title defense in Kona.

Last week, I wrote about Okopipi--the current successor to Blue Security's Blue Frog antispam service. In closing that article, I described a dream situation in which Microsoft philanthropically backs the Okopipi project and bundles the antispam solution with every copy of Windows. This week, I'll point out some statistics and financial figures that show why I think that dream will never become a reality--not with Microsoft or any other major antispam-solution provider.
First, let's look at the cost of spam for businesses: In February 2005, Ferris Research said, "Lost productivity and other expenses associated with spam will cost US businesses $17 billion in 2005.... Worldwide costs could reach $50 billion, primarily because of lost employee productivity. Not included in these figures are immeasurable items, such as the missed opportunity cost of a new customer order that's incorrectly discarded as spam." That's a lot of incentive for businesses to implement antispam solutions.
Next, let's look at antispam-solution revenue figures: Also in February 2005, IDC predicted that "...worldwide revenue for antispam solutions will exceed $1.7 billion in 2008, far surpassing the $300 million generated in 2003.... \[The\] development of spam from a mere nuisance to an increasingly serious problem \[is\] the driver for explosive revenue growth, innovation, and investment in the antispam market. The worldwide revenue for antispam solutions will experience a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 42% through 2008."
Now let's look at email usage and spam volume growth: In January 2006, the Radicati Group estimated that there were more than 1.2 billion active email accounts. Worldwide email traffic per day was about 135 billion messages, of which 67 percent were spam. Then in May 2006, Radicati estimated that there were nearly 1.4 billion active email accounts and worldwide email traffic per day of about 171 billion messages, of which 71 percent were spam.
Summarizing Radicati's data, the number of mailboxes increased by 200 million, the volume of email traffic increased by 36 million messages, and the volume of spam increased by 31 million messages--all in less than half a year! The increases represent a tremendous gain in potential customers for antispam vendors, which of course can readily equate to huge increases in revenue.
The spam problem has given birth to a billion-dollar market for antispam-solution providers. If we keep in mind that most companies exist for the primary purpose of generating income for their owners and investors, then we can easily see that no current antispam vendor has the impetus to stamp out spam because doing so would run counter to its fiduciary responsibility.
Therefore, the Okopipi project will probably not be seen in a good light by any antispam-solution provider, except of course one that finds a way to profit from the ultimate antispam solution of stamping out spam completely.

Steve Lampier is in a podium position after two hilly days of racing at the New Zealand Cycle Classic.
Lampier finished third on on the queen stage of the race, which took place overnight in the Wairarapa region of New Zealand. The high placing moved Lampier into third overall, twelve seconds adrift of the race leader, James Oram (New Zealand National Team).
The race so far
Saturday's stage one was a lumpy wind swept affair and a decisive opening day of the five day race. Jon Mould of JLT Condor spent most of the 121km stage in a breakaway move, that would be reeled in close to the finish. In the rain soaked bunch kick for the line, Alex Frame (JLT Condor) sprinted to second.
Stage two saw plenty of aggressive riding as soon as the race left the start town of Masterton. The day would include two thousand metres of vertical climbing and a 150 kilometres to tackle.
"The boys rode brilliantly today. They kept Steve out of trouble and perfectly placed and got
him into the right break at the base of the final climb" – Explained John Herety.
The move of the day came on the penultimate ascent with Steve Lampier and James Oram attacking and driving the pace taking with them Neil Van der Pleog and Sam Crome (IsoWhey Sport – Swiss Wellness) making up the group of four. The group built a 1 minute and 15 seconds advantage over the peloton going into the 7km ascent of Admirals Hill.
On the steeper slopes Van der Pleog was distanced and his teammate Sam Crome attacked to take the stage win. Oram marked Lampier to ensure Oram would become the new leader of the race.

How Safe are Holiday Leftovers Microwaved in Plastic?
harmful chemicals, toxins, in plastics re-heating food follow FDA guidelines
Most people do not think twice about covering their holiday leftovers in plastic and re-heating them in the microwave. But maybe they should.
Studies done have shown that in some plastics, a chemical called DEHA can seep into food when heated. High levels of the DEHA have been shown to cause cancer in some lab animals. Consumers are urged to follow the guidelines offered by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration on how to safely re-heat food in the microwave.
For example, the guidelines call for leaving at least two inches of space between plastic wrap and food when microwaving. In addition, microwave-safe plastic wrap should be placed loosely over the food to keep in moisture and allow food to cook evenly.
According to the FDA, the following items are safe to use in microwaves:
- microwave-safe plastic wraps
- wax paper
- cooking bags
- parchment paper
- white microwave-safe paper towels
Items that should never be microwaved include:
- plastic storage bags
- grocery bags
- newspapers
- aluminum foil
The FDA also cautions against using restaurant carry-out containers - particularly foam plates or boxes - and margarine tubs in the microwave. In addition, plastic microwavable meal containers are meant for "one-time" use only and should not be re-used in the microwave.
Before using any plastics in the microwave, read the fine print on the packaging to make sure the items are microwavable safe. Some plastics carry warnings against using them in microwaves. The dilemma is that when consumers look at the fine print, it's not always clear whether an item is microwavable. This leads to some people unwittingly coming into contact with dangerous chemical toxicities.
While there is no evidence yet that chemicals migrating from plastics into food will cause problems in humans, consumers should tend to err on the side of caution. Instead of using plastic containers, it is recommended to use glass or microwave-safe containers or plates to re-heat leftovers in the microwave.

Gov. Mark Dayton name checked great Minnesota manufacturing companies in his first State of the State address on Wednesday, but mostly as a retrospective of how great the state used to be. He also thanked General Mills its support of the state's Enterprise LEAN business process improvement initiative, a government streamlining effort.
That was it as far as manufacturing goes. The governor, a Democrat, did spend a good portion of his address talking about the productive topic infrastructure.
Roads, highways, and public transit are to our state's economy, as are arteries to the human body. If the arteries are healthy, and efficiently transport blood, oxygen, and nutrients throughout the body, everything works at its best. If, however, the arteries become decrepit or clogged, the body's performance suffers.
Minnesota is at a critical juncture with its transportation systems. Our investments are inadequate to maintain their condition or expand them to serve our growing population. Their further deterioration will seriously constrict our future economic growth and damage our social vitality.
That is why I have asked Transportation Commissioner Tom Sorel to present to the Legislature his ideas for better roads, highways, and transit systems, and to begin the discussion of how best to finance them. I invite others with transportation and finance expertise in both the private and public sectors to join us in that discussion.
I ask the Legislature to consider creating a Transportation Finance Authority, chaired by the MnDOT Commissioner, to bring together the best minds and their ideas for financing the transportation improvements upon which our future social and economic vitality depend.

Wait Did A Fake Cop Car Chase This Go Kart On The Highway?
Reminder: do not drive your go kart on the highway.
Reminder: do not drive your go kart on the highway.
That 1980s Caprice you saw drive past you on chrome wheels, polished to a mirror finish? Here's why it looks that way, as explained in the most thorough set of interviews possibly ever recorded on the subject.
The Dodge Dart is the sort of car Al Bundy would have driven if he didn't mistake a Dodge for his Plymouth Duster. But take another look at it, start smiling, and get a cheap one while you still can.
Well if this isn't the most Oakland thing I've seen all day. Also, someone please get that driver off the road, before they hit, ya know, a person.
A 1927 Oakland with a Pontiac engine in the hands of a Californian who likes to make period-correct surfboards and use that car as a surf wagon. Call me crazy but I love it.
In the future, every event that takes place on or near a road will be captured on dashcam. Evidence of the rising trend is a shooting on the streets of Oakland last month, recorded by a passing driver.
New developments have emerged in the saga of the tuner cars that shut down highway traffic in Oakland last weekend so they could do some smoky donuts.
No one seemed terribly happy with the guys who stopped traffic on an Oakland highway and then posted a video of it to Facebook, least of all the real police and the Internet police, both of whom are trying to track down the people involved.
102 years ago last Thursday the newly formed GM bought an interest in Oakland Motor Car Corporation. Pontiac was introduced as a companion brand to Oakland in 1926. By 1933, Pontiac was so popular it absorbed the entire Oakland Company.
Imagine you're an AirTran pilot. You might be nervous about your job, or Southwest's corporate culture. Then you might see this video, where you're promised instruction on how to roll a 400-pound granny down the jetway. Helloooo, new corporate overlords!
Sometimes you just can't believe what you see on your way to the junkyard.
East Oakland can be a tough place, and so the Ice Cream Man must also be tough! A slot-mag-equipped Whiting truck, with broken windows and hand-scrawled ads for $1.00 root beer floats… might as well call it the Boogie Man!
We saw a few outtakes from my deservedly brief stint as a filmmaker last week, and now I've dug up a 25-year-old VHS tape of the crypto-car-centric 1984 epic The Phone Police.
Many of us have looked at a beat-to-hell sedan, then reached for the Sawzall and created an open-air summer cruiser. Then, when the weather turns cold/rainy, it gets junked. But if you're Belvedere Adrian, you keep driving it for decades!
This is Down On The Street Bonus Edition, where we check out interesting street-parked cars located in places other than the Island That Rust Forgot. How could you not love this battered old Toyota?
I can't recall the last time I saw a GM Skywagon in the junkyard; these things have been getting lovingly restored for decades. This Vista Cruiser, however, didn't get that memo… and here it sits.
Now that I've sorted out all the SCSI termination headaches on my 1998-vintage slide scanner, I've digitized some more of my old 35mm negatives. Here's a trio of old cars I shot in 1989.
I headed over to West Oakland last night, to check out the Boiler Bar May Day Party, featuring a slew of art cars and a few of the contestants from the Escape From Berkeley race.
Want to check out the Golden Mean, a fire-belching Volkswagen Beetle-based giant snail that seats six and packs an 800-watt sound system inside its shell? With snake charming to boot? Head to Oakland tonight!
Les Firestine Ford disappeared from Oakland's Auto Row many decades ago, but this promo film- apparently shown in theaters around the East Bay- makes the Deuce Coupe seem like a pretty good deal, even now.

What Recovery? Myths, Lies, and Green Shoots
Skrevet av Garrett Johnson - Publisert 20.06.2009 kl. 21:37 (Oppdatert 20.06.2009 kl. 22:34)
There are those that honestly think you can make a sustainable economy based on people buying things they don't need with money they don't have. Then there are those who just want to sucker in the sheeple so they can fleece them one more time.
Finally, there are the sheeple themselves - so scared that they will buy into any feel-good message about Green Shoots that the politicians and media sells them, and even defend it.
What none of these three groups want is for the general public to know what the actual numbers really are.
They don't want me to show you what I am about to show you.
There's been two studies done recently that put things into perspective. One was done by Barry Eichengreen and Kevin O'Rourke, both professors of economics. The other was done by Paul Swartz for the Center of Geoeconomic Studies.
As you can see, worldwide industrial output is dropping as fast as it did during the Great Depression, while world trade is dropping even faster (which makes one wonder if Smoot-Hawley really wasn't as big of a deal as some make it out to be).
The other two charts show monetary inflation and massive government deficits. The two are directly related.
Those academics who are afraid of deflation think that these are good things. Consumers that are trying to stretch their meager paychecks think otherwise.
On a worldwide level, the recent stock market rally still doesn't come close to bringing us back to the disastrous level of the Great Depression.
Focus on America
Some will try to write off the charts above that this doesn't reflect what is happening in America. As if America is some sort of island disconnected from the rest of the world.
For those people I want to present a few other charts.
US Industrial Output
The drop is America's industrial output mirrors the drop in the world's industrial output, as well as the Great Depression experience.
It's a similar story for the stock market.
...and for our trade with the rest of the world.
As mentioned above, we have managed to avoid deflation with our massive deficit spending, but that also means the prudent are being punished in order to bail out the debtors.
Meanwhile the crash in home prices puts the Great Depression experience to shame. The consequences of this cannot be understated.
Finally we have unemployment. The common refrain from the Green Shooters is that the unemployment rate isn't nearly as bad as during the Great Depression, when unemployment hit 25%.
While technically true, it is also dishonest for two reasons.
#1) Unemployment didn't suddenly jump up to 25% overnight. It took four years to get there.
If you start counting from April 2008 (around the time that Bear Stearns went under), like most of the charts above do, then we are only 14 months into this Depression. The equivalent period of time during the Great Depression would take you to the fall of 1930.
So what was the unemployment rate in 1930? 8.7% What is the unemployment rate today? 9.4%
#2) The unemployment rate was measured differently during the Great Depression. For instance, there was no "discouraged workers" category. You were either employed, or not employed. You didn't fall out of the ranks of the unemployed because you didn't send someone a resume that week. Thus the unemployment numbers of today will understate real unemployment in a way that they wouldn't during the Great Depression.

Website Development Costs(redirected from Web Site Development Costs)
Website Development Costs
What a company or organization spends in creating or updating its website. These costs can vary widely. One may put together a basic website for the cost of a small program and of writing the content. On the other hand, one may spend a great deal of money on a website with custom designed graphics and interactive features. How much an organization spends in website development costs depends on how much business it can expect from the Internet and the extent to which a well-presented website will affect its reputation.

The Best of this Year's Black Friday-Cyber Monday Marketing
It's Tuesday, November 29th, and if you're reading this, it means you've survived this year's Black Friday and Cyber Monday!
The first stats on the year's biggest shopping weekend are in: according to the National Retail Federation, more than 154 million consumers made purchases, that's about 3 million more than last year.
As for online sales, Adobe reported that this Black Friday surpassed the $3 billion mark for the first time, setting a new sales record. The final figures aren't in yet, but it's estimated that Cyber Monday will one-up this feat and become the largest online sales day in US retail history with close to $3.4 billion.
Although nothing motivates shoppers more than a good deal, you need a little marketing magic to get the best results. So what did retailers do during this year's Black Friday-Cyber Monday weekend? The answers are right here in this blog post – we'll be looking at what some of the world's retail titans (23, to be exact) did to promote their deals.
Read on, take inspiration and be sure to stick around for the conclusions at the end. But we have to start at the beginning, so let's look at our selection of examples, peruse the visuals and discuss what works and why.
Confident promotion
1. Apple, true to their form, went with a minimal, yet confident approach. Everyone knows Apple products are among the most coveted items for the holidays, meaning Apple can get away with putting a tiny little notice on their homepage. No explanation needed, the word Friday says it all.
When you click it, you are displayed an inviting Apple Watch with a black screen and a text that, once again, says Friday. Say no more, Apple, we'll be coming back for more.
And on the big day itself, apple.com is as discreet as can be, except for the red banner on the bottom of the screen which leads us to an Apple Watch displaying a shopping list. Simple yet effective.
2. Dell went with the laid-back approach to their Black Friday online presence, too. They can't compete with Apple just yet, but what they're saying is, "Hey, Black Friday is here, the deals are here, we sell, you buy, let's get down to business."
Tip: If you can get away with it, less is more.
Fun, customized campaigns
For their worldwide Black Friday offer, 3. Asos decided to go with a catchy discount code – GOGOGO. That sounds like the unofficial motto of the whole Black Friday-Cyber Monday experience, so it's extremely fitting.
But to juxtapose this GOGOGO sentiment, they reassure their customers that the most intense day of shopping is a very chill experience with Asos. So, chill, type in your code, and get to gift shopping.
A well-chosen pic on Instagram works wonders, too– Asos went with a pair of boots that look like greased lightning. Very in tune with the Black Friday-Cyber Monday atmosphere.
You may have noticed that fashion stores and cosmetics brands (like 4. Nasty Gal and 5. Lancôme) have the benefit of creating a particular theme for Black Friday. Bet you can't guess what that is, huh?
6. Sephora added a certain sense of exclusivity to their Cyber Monday Twitter post by talking about spring way before anyone has gone shopping for their Christmas tree.
7. Barnes & Noble added an intriguing twist to their Black Friday experience by making the Black Friday weekend part of their Signed Editions campaign. A wonderful tactic, because the idea of getting your copies signed by the author generates more interest and makes the book a more personal gift.
Tip: Your spin on Black Friday-Cyber Monday doesn't have to be limited to sales and the holidays, think about what would make your customers happy.
Alluring visuals and copy
8. Canon made their website all about Black Friday-Cyber Monday, just like the majority of online merchants. But their campaign banners came with a twist, a slot-machine style section about the hottest deals. Pretty fun to watch, and you stick around a little longer to see just what those hot deals are.
9. Crocs created a pretty marvelous Black Friday headline by using their brand image to create the slogan "Add color to Black Friday".
What added extra charm to the 10. Staples campaign were the details, in this case, the titles for the product categories. You can already hear that tune inside of your head, can't you?
Tip: When it comes to marketing, language is one of the strongest weapons in your arsenal, don't be afraid to use it.
Focus on holidays vs. focus on savings
11. Gap made their online campaign more holiday-oriented, inviting customers to make the association with holiday spirit and look at this shopping-fuelled couple of days as the perfect time to find that perfect cozy gift. The play on words with the percentages is a nice touch.
12. Lenovo didn't mention words like Black or Friday at all. Instead, they fully embraced the holiday mood and added a sense of urgency by adding a countdown clock. If that doesn't get you buying laptops, nothing will.
One of the giants in the home improvement supply business, 13. Home Depot, didn't hesitate to remind everyone that they're the best. So for them, Black Friday-Cyber Monday is, too, business as usual. As you can tell by their website, they're all about savings.
Although they mention the holidays, notice how the two Rudolphs and the Christmas tree are placed next to an ominous fridge and some power tools. The message is, "This is where you come to be smart about your purchases.
Tip: The whole idea behind Black Friday-Cyber Monday is smart holiday gift shopping. However, a 50-50 combination of holidays and savings can be bland, so it's best to tip the scales a little.
Eternal perks
A good practice from 14. Levi's – they haven't forgotten that Black Friday-Cyber Monday is just once a year and that growing their subscriber list is a something that will remain a constant priority. So before taking a look at their sweet deals, they ask you to become a subscriber.
Tip: The cool thing about Levi's Black Friday offer was free shipping – now that's a perk that always keeps people coming back for more.
A dash of humor
A bit of (black) humor is always a good way of attracting people's attention. South Africa's deals site 15. OneDayOnly.co.za embraced the Black Friday-Cyber Monday mentality to the fullest – the words speak for themselves.
Those working in retail know that this is the busiest time of the year from everyone in manufacturing to the folks in customer support. So here's a clever way of showing your customers that everything's going to be a-ok, courtesy of 16. Shopify.
For Cyber Monday, Nasty Gal created a cheeky campaign which probably reminds you of a few risky online messages you've sent or received.
17. Microsoft, however, poked a little fun at those waiting impatiently for Cyber Monday deals to go live.
Whereas 18. Forever 21 posted a meme-esque reminder of the struggles of every Black Friday-Cyber Monday shopper:
Tip: Creating content that gets a giggle out of your customers is a great way of gaining likes and shares on social media and building brand awareness.
Cyber Week
For many, the holiday shopping experience was extended into Cyber Week, with Black Friday and Cyber Monday being the two peaks.
19. Amazon is one of the prime examples. To make shoppers come back for more, they've created a Deals of the Day segment split up into Available and Missed, a good little trick to create a sense of urgency.
They added some additional information to make the buyer more aware of what to expect, including tips on how to prepare for Cyber Monday. All this was combined with a pretty profound list of CTAs encouraging shoppers to engage with them, whether it's following on social media or downloading an app.
On Amazon's Twitter we saw that it doesn't have to be about getting the biggest flat screen you see. You can also use Cyber Week to showcase the little things, which makes their holiday card offer a particularly cute touch in preparation for the upcoming holiday mayhem.
Sites like Amazon wouldn't be what they are without thoroughness. Like for most retailers, all of their on-site and social media activity was amplified by email campaigns urging users not to miss any deals.
20. Rynair also took pride in the fact that they offer their customers a week of deals, not just two or three days. Good call, because people can never get enough of good travel deals.
A week-long deals extravaganza was also offered to 21. Marvel fans, including an aptly designed Cyber Monday campaign.
Tip: Cyber Week is not for the faint of heart, make sure you are prepared for an intense week of sales and promotion.
Deal or no deal?
It turns out you don't have to sell a thing to be a part of the Black Friday craze. This is what 22. PC Mag did to attract of tech-thirsty shoppers searching the internet for the best deals– simply add your email and you've got the promise of a new laptop for Christmas in the palm of your hand.
There wasn't any particular buzz around Black Friday-Cyber Monday deals generated by 23. Nokia, but they gave a good example of how to make your mark without selling anything, that is, posting information that shoppers will find useful.
As an ecommerce platform, Shopify doesn't really have any deals to promote, but they can show their existing and potential users what Black Friday-Cyber Monday is all about. So they put up a real-time tracker of the sales made on Shopify from Friday till Monday. For one thing, it looks cool, and it's also a good boost for all those on the fence about launching their online business.
Tip: As they say, the best things in life are free. Use the opportunity to share your knowledge with overwhelmed shoppers and gain a few popularity points along the way.
Final thoughts
As you can see, a Black Friday-Cyber Monday marketing campaign isn't a one-size-fits-all type of thing. You have to take a look around, see what the others are doing, and figure out what are aspects of your business you want to bring out the most or what you want people to associate your business with.

Once you're set on your angle, the next step is to decide how to customize your campaign so you can successfully incorporate your product or service into the context of Black Friday-Cyber Monday.

And not only in terms of the deals themselves, but also their presentation – from enticing copy to eye-catching visuals.

This audio feedback system is being developed by Ph.D. student Jason Cress, at the Center for New Music and Audio Technologies in Berkeley, CA. It is a prototype designed to digitally manage or "shape" Larsen tone audio feedback as it resonates through various media. In this case, air pressure waves are produced by a loudspeaker, routed through a configuration of pipes, split at an angle greater than 90 degrees, and picked up by a microphone on the other end. By completing the feedback loop and splitting the sound waves, energy flows seamlessly between the environment and the instrument.
The aim of the project is to establish musical parameters inside the instrument that passersby can intuitively perceive in public spaces. As a stand-alone sound sculpture, the instrument invites observers to interact by simply listening or making sound. Such exchanges then encourage spontaneous collaboration amongst participants who may not know each other or have formal music training. Once individuals have engaged with the instrument, the installation moves from a role of initiation to mediation, as the sound information transfers dynamically.
Manufactured waste materials or commonly found materials are integral to the creation of the prototype, along with open source software such as Pure Data and MobMuPlat. Used and/or discarded electronics (e.g., reused speaker cones/circuit boards, and DIY microphones/batteries) will be implemented in future audio feedback works. It is critical that issues of environmental sustainability and social transformation are acknowledged amidst worsening climate change and economic inequality.
The ethical and aesthetic considerations of this project lend themselves to additional conceptual prospects. For example, the development of instrumental archetypes from manufactured waste materials. As discarded products pile up in landfills at an ever increasing rate, why not view them as a resource? Just as any traditional instrumental ensemble has families of instruments (i.e. winds, strings, etc.), why not families of feedback instruments (e.g., air wave, transduction)? It seems reasonable that artists could simultaneously repurpose discarded technology, disrupt landfill waste, reduce creative costs, and provide more opportunities for communities to participate in art-making outside of monetized venues.

Reflecting an increased effort by the Girl Scouts to attract young Latinas and their mothers, the Spanish Trails Council in Montclair is offering a bilingual camp for the first time this summer.
The one-day "Las Divas de Hoy" will be held twice over the summer. Many of the planned activities are the same as other Girl Scouts camps -- painting nails, crafts and fashion shows -- but there will also be salsa dancing and flower arranging.
Most important, said Idalia Silva, the council's community partnership manager, is that Spanish will be the predominant language.
Latino parents "usually don't get involved in Girl Scouts because of the language," Silva said, and children will only get involved if their parents know about the program.
"So now people can be free to speak in Spanish. They're not going to be embarrassed, so they can speak their own language with the girls, because most of the parents don't speak English. . . . This is so they can volunteer and get involved," she said.

I'm trying to put together a list of people who have analogized morality to color in defense of one metaethical view or another. The best example I know about is John McDowell in "Values and Secondary Qualities." Geoffrey Sayre-McCord briefly uses the analogy in a defense of nonreductive realism in "Moral Theory And Explanatory Impotence." And in old times, there's Hume, who wrote, "Vice and virtue, therefore, may be compar'd to sounds, colours, heat and cold, which according to modern philosophy, are not qualities in objects, but perceptions in the mind."
Does anybody else spring to mind?

Moore thought "good" and "yellow" were indefinable in the same sense.
I think Jackson is pretty explicit about the analogy with color in "From Metaphysics to Ethics".

One thing that has come to my attention recently is that some people who have tried to use fecal transplants to treat their case of Ulcerative Colitis have not yet been successful in their attempts to do so. While fecal transplants were a huge part of my experience in recovering from Ulcerative Colitis they were not the only factor. I also did them for a longer period of time than Dr. Borody's patients who did them for 5 days in a hospital setting using a colonosope. To the best of my knowledge this is the process that the few doctors who have done these for Ulcerative Colitis are most likely using.
As I cover in my book, I believe there were several keys to making this work for me and which might have been left out by anyone who has done these and not yet been successful.
– Do the fecal transplants for long enough to make sure the new bacterial colony has established itself.
I did the fecal transplants for almost 5 weeks every day and then stopped. I really can't say if I needed to do them for this long or if after a week or two, tapering down the enemas to where I was doing them every other day, once a week or once a month would have been just as effective. However what I do think needs to happen is to keep the newly introduced bacteria at elevated levels to act an anti-biotic for what may be "bloom" cycles of various bacteria that reproduce from spores embedded in the intestinal walls. Basically do the FTs for a long enough period of time to really get the new bacteria established and dominant over the "bad" bacteria.
– Continue on maintenance medications while doing the fecal transplants and for a significant period of time you have stopped doing them.
The reason for this is to limit inflamation and manage immune system responses to new bacteria which can include a flare of symptoms, fever and more. A flare could result from the body actively fighting the inflamation causing bacteria or toxins released by dying of large amounts of bacteria. Your body's immune system could be recalibrating and readjusting to a new mix of bacteria in the colon. Until it has relearned what is friend and what is foe, your body could attack some the new "good" bacteria in the process, triggering more inflamation. However know to expect that these symptoms are a part of the process toward restoring good health and keep going.
– Help retain the enemas and manage bloating from gas by using over-the-counter drugs like Immodium and Gas-x.
Retaining enemas can be a challenge at first, however you will get better at it with experience. Making sure to lie on your left side and then roll onto your back and then your right side will also help the fecal enema mixture navigate its way up the colon and reduce urgency caused by the enema mixture being in the lower colon or rectum.
– Treat symptoms like diarrhea, muscle spasms, and indigestion with drugs therapies like in IBS.
I believe this is an important step in the process however it may be more important to some people than others depending on the extent of Irritable Bowel Syndrome symptoms, anxiety or depression. Anti-depressants and anti-anxiety drugs have long been used to treat IBS. Also flares of Ulcerative Colitis often appear to be triggered by extra emotional stress, change of seasons to fall or winter. Improper digestion and frequent diarrhea may also further fuel a mix of bacterial which triggers inflammation too. Other than blood in stool, Ulcerative Colitis shares some similarities with severe cases of Irritable Bowel Syndrome, especially diarrhea. In addition to helping newly transplanted bacteria become established, slowing diarrhea also helps drugs like Mesalamine work and could support a more helpful mix of bacteria.
– Get high levels of protein using supplements to help the intestine heal more quickly.
Just like the body needs protein to recover from surgery and body builders use it to build muscle, we need protein to heal the intestines, especially if we have been eating restrictive diets in an attempt to cope with the illness. More protein can help heal ulcers and regain elasticity lost during inflamation and resulting scar tissue. This is another key step that I believe some people are leaving off. I started drinking 3 protein shakes a day to prepare my body for surgery on the advice of the colo-rectal surgeon who would have removed my large intestine. However it turns out the same amounts of extra protein needed to recover from weight training workouts and surgery was also necessary to heal my colon and regain elasticity lost due to ulceration and resulting scar tissue.
Based on my experience and reports I have gotten from those who have been successful with fecal transplants I believe that most of the successful people have done some of all of the above steps and most of the people who have not yet been successful left out one or more of the above steps.

In 2016, 107 Nobel Laureates signed an open letter calling on Greenpeace to desist from campaigning against agricultural biotechnology and for governments to reject and resist such campaigning, arguing that "[o]pposition based on emotion and dogma contradicted by data must be stopped" [1]. The letter marked the latest chapter in a long‐running, heated and apparently intractable debate around agricultural biotechnology. Yet, while the arguments by Greenpeace and other non‐governmental organisations (NGOs) against agricultural biotechnology are frequently dismissed as based on emotion and dogma, their opposition is often grounded on more general scepticisms concerning the framing of the problem and its solutions, and the motivations of actors to employ biotechnology in agriculture.
As with earlier debates on genetically modified (GM) crops, NGOs have become the subject of intense criticism from leading scientists who support genome editing in agriculture
Genome editing is an important case of agricultural biotechnology. In Europe, however, the European Commission has been delaying a decision on the regulation of genome editing and new plant breeding techniques (NPBT) for use in agriculture. In the meantime, numerous groups are attempting to influence the debate, including biotechnology companies, scientists and NGOs. Scientists and their representations have been particularly prominent in these debates in contrast to a more muted position from commercial interests as companies have adopted a "wait‐and‐see" strategy with regard to the pending regulatory decision on genome editing [2]. As with earlier debates on genetically modified (GM) crops, NGOs have become the subject of intense criticism from leading scientists who support genome editing in agriculture. The subsequent debates have aroused passions on all sides, but rarely led to greater mutual understanding. In this paper, we use the case of genome editing to argue that the Nobel Laureate letter may have mischaracterised opposition to agricultural biotechnology as …
