Andrew and Braedon had a stunning bright colored wedding! The use of black and white with the pops of color and gold was so trendy but also very timeless. They were also featured on Marry Me Tampa Bay! Check out some of what Braedon said below and follow the link for the full feature!
"We didn't have a theme; we mainly we just chose a color scheme for our wedding," the bride explained. "One thing we did incorporate was black and white stripes. I liked the black and white with the pop of the colorful flowers and gold accents."
"We didn't just want basic, traditional photos. We looked through Rad Red Creative's photos of their engagements and weddings and loved them. We met with Leo and Brittany for the first time over craft brews, and they were very welcoming," the bride shared. "We absolutely loved both our engagement photos and wedding photos. They even made it look like we were floating in the clouds in some of our photos. They are so friendly and easy to work with. Our guests kept approaching us about how great they were and how much they liked our photographers, as well as how the pictures turned out."
Here are some of our favorite images from the day!

Humans are weak.
While most of us would like to dispute this fact, when we compare ourselves physically to the rest of creation, we are found lacking. Many creatures on this planet have developed various physical characteristics that allow them to survive. Wolves have two layers of fur: an outer coat which is dirt resistant and an inner coat which is water resistant. In the winter, the inner coat grows thick, insulating their bodies against the cold. Chameleons have unique skin cells which allow them to change the color of their skin within milliseconds, allowing them to hide from predators or sneak up on prey. Pufferfish contain a lethal neurotoxin which runs throughout their body, discouraging anything from trying to eat it.Read More

HDP's Demirtaş begins electoral campaign in prison
Using the "prison resources" Demirtaş send his messages to voters.
Peoples' Democratic Party (HDP) Presidential candidate Selahattin Demirtaş, who is in prison in Edirne Prison, sent messages on Saturday via social media. Making the best use of the little means available in prison, Demirtaş proved that he won't be silenced.
The messages are about the election work and have been published by Demirtaş's lawyer on his Twitter account, @hdpdemirtas:
"A plane has flown over us today. I waved at it. The passengers gathered at the windows and said, "Aaa! Demirtaş", and waved back at me. I shouted, "If I am elected, we won't get a single cent tax on fuel used by farmers."
This propaganda, which I have made by using the state prison resources, is contrary to the election laws, dear YSK (Supreme Board of Elections)? Unfair to other candidates? You are very sensitive about justice (!)
A new prison is being built nearby. I said to the workers in the building: "If I get elected, I will abolish illegal work and illegal contracts. There will be no death on the workplace and the working time will be shortened. The minimum wage will be 3,000 TL. We will not sell out workers' rights".
"We will not build another prison in Edirne but more schools and hospitals" I continued. I do not know if they heard, but the construction sounds stopped for a while. The world has been beautiful for a minute.
We throw apples to the friends in the next cell for the Iftar (fast-breaking dinner). They first thought that three apples fell from the skies. "No, we threw them", I said. "If I get elected, the judiciary will be independent, fair and impartial. Not one single innocent citizen will get to prison, and the ill prisoners will be released immediately".
They prayed I will get elected. "May Allah accept this", I said. At that time they came for roll-call. It takes a long time to count us. Six million people live in one cell.
Dear diary, I will soon attend a rally to complete my current election work for today. I am worried that Mr. Abdullah (Kurdish MP Abdullah Zeydan who is jailed in the same cell with Demirtaş) will suffer a short-circuit as he is the only audience of the rally J
But let it be it. At today's rally I will once again talk about the beauty of peace, brotherhood, equality. I will repeat this without ever getting sick of it, until peace is achieved."

Are Home Security Systems and Alarm Monitoring Worth It?
A home security system is an investment, and as with any investment it's important to determine the return you're likely to receive. While it can be simple to tally the up-front and monthly costs associated with a security system and alarm monitoring, attaching a price tag to peace of mind is a difficult thing to do, especially if you have children or teens in the house.
What Security Systems Do
Security systems can do more than deter burglars. The right system can keep you linked to your home no matter where you are. It will also let you know when doors are opened and closed and if attempts are made to access sensitive areas like gun and liquor cabinets. There are also other, hidden benefits that you may be able to take advantage of, such as discounts on home owners or renters insurance.
Home Security Equipment
When evaluating the initial investment required to add a security system to your home, the average cost can range from $250 to more than $1,000 depending on the system, equipment and installation that you choose. The good news is that those are one-time costs, and in most cases you will own the equipment. Once your system is installed and operational, there are monthly fees to consider. You have a lot of control over your monthly security system cost, as packages vary significantly depending on the services, features and levels of monitoring you select. There are basic plans available from reputable companies for as little as $20 per month. However, depending on your needs and budget, there are more advanced packages that include things like live, round-the-clock monitoring or regular security patrols that can cost several hundred dollars or more per month.
How to Know if The System is Worth It
In order to determine if a security system is worth it for your family, start by asking yourself what would make it worth it to you. There's no question that alarm systems deter crime and can increase the odds of catching a burglar if your home does get broken into. According to the Electronic Security Association if a home with a security system still falls victim to crime, the average loss is approximately $2,000 less than in a home with no protection.
Security systems and monitoring discourage break-ins: 60% of convicted burglars say they will target another home if they discover a security system in the one they are trying to rob.
If your goal is reducing loss from burglary, it's easy to see that security systems make a difference. However, with the additional services provided by monitoring companies you could end up saving a lot more if you add smoke alarm, carbon monoxide and remote home automation services that can help prevent loss of life and property while managing energy costs. But, just as with all types of insurance, there's no guarantee that you will ever need to utilize the full extent of your alarm and monitoring services. That's why it's important to fully understand your security goals in order to accurately weigh the true value of a security system and its cost.
Discounts From Security Systems
Typically, the more elements your security system has, the deeper the discount you might be eligible for on your home owners insurance. Not all insurance companies offer discounts for alarm monitoring and other security services, so it is important to check with your insurance company to verify the availability of any discounts. Sometimes it's not a matter of saving on your homeowner's policy, but keeping it. There are some home insurance policies that will actually require the addition of a security system if a home has been burglarized or if it is located in an area with a higher incidence of home thefts.
Protect Your Valuables
Consider any irreplaceable items like family heirlooms, art and other pieces that carry high sentimental value for which there will be no way to recover from the loss. To keep such items safe, you will likely need to pay something – whether you invest in a safe deposit box or a home security system. Depending on how accessible you would like these items to be, a security system might make more sense than locking them up somewhere other than your home.
The SafeWise Recommendation
SafeWise believes the best way to determine if a security system is worth the investment is to conduct thorough research and take advantage of experts who understand the ins and outs of security and alarm monitoring. Home protection isn't always simple, and when it comes to something so important it's nice to have someone on your side.

Now here's something nice to start your day with! I came up with this over the weekend. My stomach was a little woozy from a migraine, so my typical four to six shot espresso was off the menu. Tea, on the other hand, well I need more caffeine than that. So, why not combine the two and see how my stomach likes it? My first sip of this combination of comforting chai tea and an itty kick of espresso, instantly I thought pumpkin pie!! Yum!! So, rather than waiting in line in the early morning dark, tapping your toes eager to get your commute over with, why not make this super easy latte yourself?
Now, there is no pumpkin in this latte, hence the "mock pumpkin spice latte" bit. Unlike last year, as you may recall from my pumpkin white mocha post, I have not gotten around to buying or making pumpkin spice syrup this year. Thanks to the spices of the chai tea concentrate, however, you get a lot of the flavors that go into your favorite pumpkin pie recipe. Cinnamon and nutmeg of course, but cardamom, cloves, even peppercorn depending on the blend. The milk lends a nice creaminess and the coffee that baked flavor. This latte reminded so much of a pumpkin spice latte that I had to go buy one and do a side by side comparison. Verdict? Both delicious and both great ways to beat those chilly fall mornings!
Fall Spice Latte
makes a single 6 ounce serving
- 1/3 cup Chai tea concentrate
- 1/3 cup milk
- 1 ounce espresso or strong brewed coffee
- Optional: whipped cream
- Optional: ground cinnamon
- Optional: ground nutmeg
- In a small sauce pan, pour in the Chai tea concentrate and milk. Turn the heat to medium.
- Gently heat the Chai tea mixture to a low simmer. Stir with a metal whisk or fork to make a nice froth. Be sure to keep the mixture at a simmer and not a boil.
- When the Chai tea reaches your desired temperature. Coffee shops typically use the 140-160° Fahrenheit range (I like mine at 180°…yes, that's very hot). Remove from heat. Whisk again if froth has disappeared.
- Carefully pour Chai tea into a favorite coffee cup and addespresso. Whisk to combine.
- Serve as is, or topped with whipped cream and dusted with ground cinnamon.

Population Density Essay
Sorry, but copying text is forbidden on this website!
The number of items per unit area or volume is referred to as density. If these items are living, especially human beings, this is known as population density. It is the number of people per square unit. Population density is directly proportional to the number of humans. This simply implies that as the numbers grow, the population density increases simultaneously, the area of the land being constant. It is common to find people clustered in more hospitable areas and avoid areas such as high mountains and deserts.
Therefore, it is said that such inhospitable areas have low population densities while the clustered areas have high population densities. Some of these regions with high population densities include cities and towns which are characterized by small areas and high urbanization. With the increase in population densities, problems arise. Noise has been a big nuisance in many workplaces and residential houses. The displeasing sounds created by either human or machines interferes with normal activities and the balance of life.
As a matter of fact, the word noise is derived from Latin's "nausea" which means sickness. Transportation has been the leading cause of noise coming from motor vehicles. Those residents next to industries and the workers inn these industries have also been hard hit by the noise made by the machinery involved. In offices, the office machinery, alarms, construction and some office equipment have been cited as causes of noise. The effects could impact both health and behavior.
Noise is known to cause annoyance, disturbances in sleep, loss of hearing sensitivity, aggression and other negative effects. In serious cases, depression, stress, panic attacks and forgetfulness may result. cardiovascular effects are also known to be caused by high noise levels which lead to high blood pressure. One of the biggest challenges man is currently facing is the unavailability of space. It is therefore wise to content with whatever space one has. The only way out of the dangers of noise would be therefore not to seek quiet places but rather control the amounts of noise.
Suggestions have been put forward for construction of 'quiet buildings' (Australian Academy of Science, 2002). These buildings will permit minimal noise based on their design. The walls should be designed in such a way that they can absorb most of the noise. This will be accomplished if dense materials are used to build such walls. Brick walls have been used in many places to serve this purpose. The inside walls could be layers of sound proof materials such as plasterboards. When it comes to windows and doors, double glazing has been quite effective to keep off noise.
The space between the two panes are widened enough. It is also important to seal all the spaces that can allow sound penetration at the fittings. Tiles have served well for roofing especially when combined with sound proof ceilings. The other way to reduce noise pollution in workplaces and residential areas is to acquire silent machinery and equipment. Some machines including vehicles are great sources of noise especially when worn out. It is thus convenient to acquire machines that do not emit a lot of noise.
Most of them would be fitted with silencers or devices to limit the noise they produce. Wheels, rollers and rubber bindings have been fitted in many equipment to ensure that they do not generate a lot of unnecessary noise. There is great difference in the usage of space for a person from America and that from China due to the difference in population densities in the two regions. Personal space is vital in human life. It is natural for human to compete for space. It is dictated by the environment one is used to.
That is why studies show that the Chinese, unlike the Americans don't feel uncomfortable when in close contact during conversations unlike their American counterparts (Wu Man Fat, 2004). With the increase in the number of human beings, it becomes necessary for demarcation of boundaries lest people invade what is considered other people's area of jurisdiction. Thom-Santelli (p. 1) describes territoriality as the the behaviors that are exhibited by an individual to suggest ownership towards social, physical or cognitive objects.
Marking is commonly associated with territoriality where an object is placed to indicate an individual's territorial intentions. A specific example for marking is personalization and could include decorations to be identified with an individual. Defensive methods such as password protection or locking doors are regarded as territoriality traits. In animals, fight reaction is very common unlike in humans. Animals would fiercely fight to secure their territories from intruders.
Palen and Dourish (2003) discovered that traditionally, privacy was regarded as a situation of social withdrawal. It is however not the case as many researchers view privacy as the process of getting to examine an individual's inner self or a group. It is argued that privacy is dynamic and would vary with environment (Altman, 1975). It is therefore normal to avoid people at other times but yearn to contact them at other times. There has to be a balance between the desired privacy and the the achieved privacy nonetheless. Loneliness sets in when the achieved privacy exceeds the desired.
When the opposite happens and the desired privacy exceeds the achieved privacy, annoyance and the feeling of being crowded results. With a combination of other environmental mechanisms such as personal space and territoriality, optimum privacy is achievable. The increase in human population has necessitated self defence mechanisms to protect oneself from the negative impact of population increase. It is for instance normal to be barred from checking into somebody else's e-mail with a protection password. It is also normal not to enter into locked premises.
News of brothers fighting for a piece of land and many more happenings are good examples to tell that self defence is real. Need for personal space ensures that one has adequate room to carry out personal activities without external interference. Privacy too is necessary to give an individual time to recollect and figure out personal achievements. It gives a person to engage in personal undertakings that are unethical in public. It is through territoriality that one is able to protect personal space and avoid falling into problems associated with limited space.
It serves to unearth individuals who are tempted to enter into other people's territories. This gives human some sense of responsibility in whatever they conceive theirs. Despite all the measures man has undertaken to guard one's territory, there have been cases of forceful occupation of other people's territories. These would include cases of burglary and hacking into other people's e-mails. These evils are a result of man trying to acquire even more space. It can thus be concluded that these three concepts help understand man's survival for the fittest tactics.

4 Handy Pointers For Writing An Opinion Essay On Nuclear Weapons
Nuclear weapons are stuff that most of us would only ever wish to come to learn about in books. No one ever wants to come any close to them, or worse, to feel the wrath of some of these weapons. There is a lot of destruction and devastation that normally follows in the wake of a nuclear attack, and this explains why a lot of people would rather not be a part of this challenge. By taking that into consideration, there is so much that you can be able to learn from these situations, and write a good paper.
It is almost obvious that when you are asked to write an opinion essay about nuclear weapons, you will only need to get your ideas based on what you have read or heard about, or what is widely available in the public domain in as far as information is concerned.

CELCAT Site Licence day 2015
20/10/2015 10:45
CELCAT held its annual Site Licence days on 6th October and 8th October 2015.
English users converged on the Kingsway Hall Hotel in Covent Garden, London and Scottish users gathered at the G&V Royal Mile Hotel, Edinburgh.
The theme for the days was "CELCAT 7.7 - the Next Phase in Timetabler Evolution" and focused on some of the new developments among the 900 enhancements in Timetabler 7.7.
The day consisted of concise presentations in the morning and interactive breakout sessions in the afternoon, with a 3 course meal being served at lunchtime. Highlights of the morning session included:
- Significant announcements regarding future development of the software
- New CELCAT Automation Visual Template Editor (VTE)
- Enhancements to CELCAT Timetabler Live
- New CELCAT Pay Claim Manager (PCM) version 2
After receiving an overview of the new features and benefits these provide, the delegates were allowed the opportunity to examine this further in the interactive afternoon sessions.
With smaller groups examining Automation, Timetabler Live and PCM, each delegate had the opportunity to not only raise questions but get 'hands on' with these new features and applications.
Feedback from delegates included the following comments:
"I like the setup where you all take a subject each and talk about it, gives us a chance to get to know you as individuals. Nice, relaxed atmosphere, very informative & comprehensive."
"Excellent presentations from all staff."
"Liked the short presentations that provided good grounding in the new features."
"Breakout sessions useful."
If you want to see what the future of timetabling, attendance tracking, timetable publication and pay claim management look like, why not plan now to attend the next CELCAT Site Licence day in 2016?

It has come to our attention through the release of their recent beta version 6.11 that the team over at Newsbin have been collaborating with a couple of developers and have come up with the idea of a remote control for your installation of Newsbin. The app, which is only for Windows XP platform so far, is said to be able to search Usenet files, download posts, check the current status of downloads in your Newsbin client, and remotely control the Newsbin client.
As we said, the app is still in development and testing, and has been programmed all in the language of C#. They have put out a call to anyone interested in helping them further develop the app, they can contact the team through their Source Forge page, or go here to get more information. There is also an IOS app being developed at this time, too, and we can't wait to check it out.
Right now the development is being done by jonnybergdahl and nbdexter. But the original work on the application was started by Quade over at Newsbin. Quade provided the base and functionality for the simplest of the controls. They are looking for programmers that have a demonstrated ability to work with C# and the Dot.net environments. If you are interested you can contact them the link above.
This app was released along with Newsbin's release of their new beta version, 6.11 RC1. The guys over at Newsbin have been very busy lately with upgrades and adding stuff in. This version has added the capability of more remote control, and they also fixed a few bugs in the client. For more information on Newsbin Pro you can check out our review on them at our

FENTON, MO – Saint Louis FC is headed to the playoffs. The soccer team needed a win or a tie Saturday night to put them in the playoffs for the first time ever. The match ended in a Nil- Nil draw.
"We've already made strides and I already had the most wins in team history and we're looking to make another and getting into the playoffs hopefully tonight," said Kyle Greig, St. Louis FC Forward.
With nearly 6,000 fans expected to cheer on the St. Louis FC team, President Patrick Barry says this would be their biggest crowd ever at Toyota Stadium.
"Our fans have been very loyal for the last four years, so we appreciate that. Hopefully, we can reward them with the playoff appearance and then from here we want to continue to build on this and make the playoffs every year and then compete for a championship," Patrick Berry, President of St. Louis FC.
But with the St. Louis' leading scorer Kyle Greig sidelined with an injury, each player out on the field will need to give it their all.
"It makes me a much more nervous being on the sidelines I think that's just how excited we are as a team. I'll be one of the biggest fans tonight for the team and I'm really excited for the atmosphere tonight and hopefully a good result," said Jordan Dollar, fan.
And while this game could be a defining moment for the USL franchise, it could also be the push that's needed for St. Louis to become a player in the race for a Major League Soccer team.
"There's probably been more talk about soccer in St. Louis in a long time and that's great, like I said it's good for the sport, it's good for the club, it's good for the kids that are playing throughout the community and I think it's really good for the city because of MLS can happen it's a huge win for this community," said Stacy Schoene, fan.
It's a tennis game out here, but St. Louis just can't lose even if they tie, and don't make it to the playoffs.

It's official: video is king!
Never before have we had such an effective and cheap marketing tool at our fingertips. But, getting started in video seem daunting; What equipment do you need? Do you have to stand in front of the camera? What do you say?
This is why we recommend that everyone start with Member Stories. They're easy to film and edit, require minimal equipment, and best of all, you don't have to be in front of the camera. Here's an example of a great member story we shot recently:
These videos are incredibly powerful! They share your member's experiences and love for your box, without the tacky "I lost 4000 pounds!" you see in normal testimonials. They're also extremely flexible; Four member interviews (filmed in less than an hour) can be turned in to:
4 x Member Stories
4+ x Themed Videos (ie. Mums Who CrossFit)
40+ x Micro Videos (10-30 sec videos used for Instagram)
40+ x Social Images (screenshots with quotes overlayed)
Sounds bloody great, right? It is. But one thing that holds Affiliate owners back is not knowing what questions to ask to get the right answers to make a great video. So here's my quick cheat sheet on what to say (and not say) to create great Member Story videos
General Tips
- Relax, have fun and smile. If you look like you're having a good time so will your member, which makes for a nicer video.
- Think about the answer that you want and reverse engineer the question to get it.
- Word the question so that the answer stands alone with. You don't want to have to include your voice in the video or worse, put the question on the screen as a title.
- Avoid questions like "What's your favourite movement?" or "What was your first WOD?". The people watching at home really don't care.
- Don't be afraid to "direct" the member. If they are struggling with an answer or they missed an important point, feel free to suggest they start the answer again. They'll always be happy to have a second, more practised go (no one wants to look silly).
Generic Questions
We ask these questions to every member.
- What is your name, age and occupation?
This helps the viewer relate to the member and gives them a reason to keep watching.
- How did you find CrossFit ABC?
Ask them for the full story. There's often gems hidden in there and you can always edit it down later.
- If someone at a BBQ asked you " What is CrossFit ABC?", what would you say?
You want an honest, candid answer here. If they spend too much time trying to formulate a polished response, just tell them to relax and tell you whatever comes to mind.
- How has CrossFit ABC changed who you are?
Here, you're fishing for both measurable results ("I've lost 14kg") and lifestyle/mindset changes ("I feel more confident with my body").
- A lot of people are worried they're not fit enough to try CrossFit. What would you say to them?
This is a good question to end on as it usually elicits a "Just give it a go. You won't regret it" type response, which is a nice way to wrap up the video.
Specific Questions
We also tailor a list of questions specifically for each type of person. These questions are focused around dispelling the concerns and highlighting the interests of each group. Below are two examples…
25-35yo Female Mum
Concerns & Interests: Getting bulky, not enough time, being a good mother, community, etc.
- A lot of women out there are worried that lifting heavy weights will make them bulky. How do you feel about that?
- You're a busy mum. How do you find time to fit in 3 CrossFit classes per week?
- Do you think CrossFit makes you a better mum?
- A lot of other mums are worried they're not fit enough to try CrossFit. What would you say to them?
40-50yo Male Professional
Concerns & Interests: Old injuries, not enough time, being successful at work, longevity & quality of life, etc.
- You suffered some injuries in your earlier years of playing sport. How has CrossFit ABC helped you work through these?
- You're a busy guy. How do you find time to fit in 3 CrossFit classes per week?
- How has CrossFit improved your professional life?
- Do you see CrossFit as a way of ensuring your longevity and quality of life?
Asking the right questions (and getting the right answers) is by far the most important part of a Member Story video. With the guide above, a smartphone, and a bit of simple editing you can turn your members into the most powerful and authentic marketing tools in your business.

Fetish Fantasy Unisex Hollow Strap-on
Although the Fetish Fantasy Unisex Hollow Strap-on is an excellent choice for both men and women to wear, its main selling point is that it feels more natural to men who can't obtain an erection. Rather than using his hands or a dildo to penetrate his partner, the appendage between his legs still does all the work, leaving his hands free to roam, which helps maintain the intimacy between partners.
This hollow dong measures 6.5 inches long, 5.5 inches in girth, and has a slight upward curve for g-spot or prostate stimulation. It has realistic details in the veins and the sculpted head and is made of phalate-free PVC. It stays in place with the metal snap closures and will maintain its rigid yet pliable shape whether you are erect, semi-hard, or totally flaccid.
This jock-strap style harness is made of stretchy elastic that fits around your bum cheeks and waist. It's about 24 inches long when un-stretched, with about 4 extra inches width around the base of the front portion. Our estimate is that it could comfortably fit up to 36 inch waist when fully stretched.
If your man is curious about anal play as well, this is the perfect 2-for-1 toy for your repertoire. A free satin mask is included with your purchase.

The Central Bank of the Russian Federation (Bank of Russia)
Press Service
12 Neglinnaya Street, Moscow, 107016 Russia;
The Decision on the parameters of the Bank of Russia FX policy implementation (Unofficial translation)
The Bank of Russia External and Public Relations Department informs that effective from 7 October 2013 the Bank of Russia widened from 1 to 3.1 roubles the "neutral" range of the dual-currency basket floating operational band, where the Bank of Russia does not conduct interventions aimed at smoothing the excess volatility of the ruble exchange rate (the total width of the dual-currency basket floating operational band (7 roubles) was left unchanged).
The above mentioned change was implemented in order to further increase the flexibility of the rouble exchange rate and to proceed the gradual transition to the floating exchange rate regime by 2015. The increase of the potential flexibility of the exchange rate resulting from the implemented changes should contribute to strengthening the effectiveness of the interest rate policy conducted by the Bank of Russia for ensuring the price stability.
In addition, in order to increase the FX policy transparency and enhance its understanding by economic agents the Bank of Russia decided to widen the range of the disclosed information on the parameters of the Bank of Russia FX policy implementation. The detailed description of the Bank of Russia FX policy mechanism is published on the Bank of Russia website in the subsection "The Bank of Russia FX policy" of the "Monetary policy" section.

NEW YORK—Prince the musical auteur is becoming an author.
"21 Nights," a "photographic essay" that offers "a rare glimpse into the life, lyrics, and mystique" of the maker of such hits as "1999" and "Purple Rain," will be published worldwide come fall, according to Atria Books, an imprint of Simon & Schuster.
The book, his first, is based on Prince's 21 sold-out concerts in as many nights at London's O2 Arena in 2007.
"Juxtaposing his dueling worlds of music and solitude, it ('21 Nights') will incorporate Prince's evocative poetry and lyrics to new songs and other selections, and 124 full-color, sumptuous, never-before-published images by celebrated photographer Randee St. Nicholas," Atria announced Monday.
"21 Nights" will include a CD of after-hours jams, "Indigo Nights," unavailable from any other outlet.

FluGen's Universal Flu Vaccine REDEE FLU™ Showcased at World Health Organization Influenza Meeting
FluGen's Universal Flu Vaccine REDEE FLU™ Showcased at World Health Organization Influenza Meeting
MADISON, Wis.--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- Deadly flu viruses, including the H5N1 bird flu and H3N2 swine flu, may have met their match in FluGen's universal vaccine, REDEE FLU™. At the World Health Organization influenza vaccine meeting in Hong Kong last week, FluGen scientists presented compelling data demonstrating that the REDEE FLU™ vaccine protects against both influenza strains that it was designed to immunize against and those it was not, called matched and unmatched viruses, respectively. Vaccine mismatches are a frequent and recurring public health problem that can dramatically reduce the effectiveness of influenza vaccination programs and significantly impact public health. The FluGen data suggest that REDEE FLU™ could be the universal vaccine that dramatically improves the effectiveness of global vaccination initiatives and the world's population health.
Current influenza vaccines leave much to be desired, with efficacy rates in the United States reported at 59 percent in healthy individuals, but often lower in those over 65 and in children under two.
"At FluGen, our one and only focus is vaccine efficacy," said Paul Radspinner, FluGen's president and CEO. "If REDEE FLU™ continues to show the universal coverage it has demonstrated to date, it may be possible to take one dose every three to five years to protect against a wide variety of influenza strains and subtypes. Until REDEE FLU™'s broader protection is available individuals should continue to receive current vaccines."
Chief Scientific Officer Pamuk Bilsel, Ph.D., presented FluGen's preliminary data at the WHO influenza meeting, which was held Jan. 24-26 in Hong Kong. The meeting gathered global leaders in the field to review the current status of research in the area of new influenza vaccines, focusing on strategies like FluGen's that induce broadly protective and long-lasting immune responses.
"REDEE FLU™ is a novel approach in preventing replication of the influenza virus in humans," Dr. Bilsel said. "Our technology introduces a live virus that cannot replicate, but triggers a robust immune response that ensures broad protection. And our vaccine is delivered nasally, so we should see increased compliance from those who fear needles."
REDEE FLU™, which was developed at the University of Wisconsin-Madison, will require additional development before commercialization is possible. Mr. Radspinner said FluGen is well-positioned to meet both the financial and technical milestones associated with bringing REDEE™ to market.
"Our founders and scientific advisors include internationally-recognized UW-Madison virology researchers Yoshihiro Kawaoka and Gabriele Neumann and we've generated a lot of interest from investors and the National Institute for Health," Mr. Radspinner said. "With their help, we can make a dramatic impact on influenza vaccination effectiveness, compliance and population health."
About FluGen
FluGen is an emerging leader in the fight to boost effectiveness of influenza vaccines and other infectious disease products. The company has differentiating technologies that enable it to create value and compete in the large, rapidly growing influenza vaccine market. FluGen is actively advancing a valuable product pipeline that provides the company with unique competitive advantages that address significant unmet customer needs. These products include its REDEE FLU™ single replication influenza vaccine and its novel, vaccine-loaded intradermal delivery technology.

Significance of the Supreme Court's Ruling over GPS-Assisted Investigations
Professor, Law School,
Meiji University
GPS-assisted investigations conducted for suspects in theft cases
So-called GPS-assisted investigation refers to an investigative method of identifying the position of a vehicle of a person being investigated by attaching a terminal of a global positioning system (GPS) to the vehicle. Originally, it was believed that since a vehicle runs in a public place with a license plate attached thereto, there is basically no privacy of information on the position of the vehicle. Following this idea, the police had conducted GPS-assisted investigations. In other words, the idea is that words exchanged in a vehicle, for which the right of privacy clearly exists, are different from the mere information on its position. In its ruling of this past March, however, the Supreme Court decided that by knowing where the vehicle stopped by, its owner's relationships, preferences, religious beliefs, and other attributes can be found out, and that therefore, after all, GPS-assisted investigations not only provided information on the position of the vehicle but also might infringe on the deeper privacy of its owner. Furthermore, it held that using special equipment to monitor a suspect exhaustively and continuously fell into compulsory disposition, requiring a warrant. It also suggested that it was desirable to take legislative actions if GPS-assisted investigations were considered as an effective investigative method that should be used widely in the future. Worded differently, it said that courts would not be able to examine the warrants requested unless the Diet passed a law that prescribed requirements for GPS-assisted investigations, and this means that GPS-assisted investigations are not allowed under the current circumstances. Critics who regarded GPS-assisted investigations as a violation of the right of privacy by the police welcome this decision, and it appears that many mass media commented that the Supreme Court's ruling called a stop to putting society under surveillance. For this reason, many citizens must have had the impression that this case would help prevent the violation of privacy, because it was unknown when a GPS terminal was attached by the police to their own vehicle. But is this true? It is necessary to consider this issue calmly.
First, in this case, the person investigated was a suspected systematic thief. He had 19 vehicles in the same precincts, and all of them had been stolen with their forged license plates frequently replaced with different ones. Police officers attached GPS terminals to several of them and monitored the movements of the suspect over six months. During this interval, if the battery of GPS terminals ran out, police officers entered the site without permission to replace the battery with a new one. In this ruling, the Supreme Court decided that GPS-assisted investigations by the police were illegal, but the suspect was given an unsuspended sentence of five years and six months in prison for the crime of theft irrevocably settled. How, then, do you judge these GPS-assisted investigations? There should be various arguments. It is also true that there are problems with the way the police conduct investigations. Suspects, too, have the right of privacy and human rights. But because of this case, do we feel that the police might also attach a GPS terminal to vehicles driven by ordinary citizens? In fact, according to persons concerned with investigations, GPS-assisted investigations are usually conducted for organized crimes. If they are chased by police officers, systematic thieves sometimes run away at a speed of 150 km per hour or more and even replace the license plate with another one. Therefore, the police might have to rely on GPS to some extent. It should be discussed whether such an investigative method is appropriate, but will it ever be used even for ordinary citizens' vehicles, which run in compliance with traffic regulations, have never had a forged license plate attached thereto, and are not a stolen one, not to mention, and as a result, compromise their interests unreasonably? It is reasonable to assume that it will not.
Leaning too much towards arguments about violations of the right of privacy
Some people are afraid that new investigative methods used by the police may violate the privacy of ordinary citizens. They had a similar impression when, for example, the Act on Wiretapping for Criminal Investigation came into force, in 1999. This Act stipulates the investigative method in which the police wiretap suspects' phone calls, but produced the impression that it gave a stamp of approval to the police, allowing them to wiretap phone calls, and this prompted discussions about the privacy of personal communications and violations of privacy. But this Act prescribed wiretapping communications as compulsory investigations, making it necessary to obtain a warrant from a court when using this method. The requirements for obtaining such a warrant are considerably strict, and the police cannot apply for it so easily. The Act on Wiretapping for Criminal Investigation was amended in May 2016, and the scope of crimes for which communications could be wiretapped was expanded to include theft, fraud, and the like in addition to four organized crimes (drugs, organized murder, sale of firearms, and groups of stowaways). But the strict requirements remain unchanged, and in practice, there would be almost no possibility that conversations of ordinary citizens are wiretapped.
This also applies to the so-called criminal conspiracy for which a law was enacted in May. The government's slapdash approach to the act was problematic, but it is also pointless to argue that it would lead to the revival of the prewar Peace Preservation Law. Originally, there was a type of crime called "conspiracy" (a secret plan to commit a crime) in the United States, the United Kingdom, and other countries. The theory is that several people plot together to commit a certain crime and that if at least one of them commits it (which is called an "overt act," meaning an act that can clearly be proven by evidence and from which criminal intent can be inferred), all other people involved in the plotting should be punished in the same way as the one who actually commits it. In countries where Anglo-American law prevails, the act that punishes conspirators has long been enforced. This is not a theory that the Japanese government built up for its own convenience. In Japan, there has been the notion of "joint principals in a conspiracy" since early on, and precedents and legal principles have been established since the Taisho period. When discussing criminal conspiracy, some experts argued that the government would be able to cope adequately with criminal conspiracy if it applied the existing notions of preparation of a crime and joint principals in a conspiracy. But the government aimed to ratify the United Nations Convention against Transnational Organized Crime, and therefore, it was really necessary to explain that it would not be sufficient if the government applied these two notions alone. If critics objected to this approach, they should have focused on discussing whether it was sufficient to apply the two existing notions. Many of the opponents insisted, however, that problems lay with a more strictly monitored society and violations of human rights and the right of privacy. This may have shifted the focus of ordinary citizens to those problems.
Striking a balance between the right of privacy and crime prevention/arrests
The United Kingdom is a super surveillance society with several times as many surveillance cameras as the number of people in the country installed therein. In fact, opinion is still divided over whether surveillance cameras really help prevent crimes, but it is necessary to maintain the stability of society by protecting citizens from various crimes and terrorist attacks in some way or other. In the future, investigative methods using drones as well as further new equipment and technology will continue to be developed. In discussing such investigative methods, it is important to strike a balance between the right of privacy and crime prevention/arrests rather than look at them from the perspective of protecting the right of privacy alone. In particular, the number of police officers will decrease in Japan, where the population is continuing to fall. Under these circumstances, it will become absolutely necessary to introduce new equipment and technology into criminal investigations.

DescriptionThis session is called "Financial Management and Growth." The attendees constitute pioneering founders in the computer services business -- that is, processing services, custom programming, and the various services that new users turned to in the early days of Big Iron computing. Because it was a new kind of business -- providing computer services for the first time to many business -- the tenets of pricing, marketing, labor and capital allocation and so much more was left to seat of the pants decision-making. The surprise was that so much of what they imagined worked, and continues to this day. The session will discuss how service bureau companies were financed in the beginning and over all of the early years. It will also examine what pricing models were used, along with the cost structures. It will look at whether profits really existed or did not. The discussion also will expand to include the focus on growth: What were the things companies did to build customers and profits? Was it geographic, spreading out? Was it applications? Adding new ones? Was it markets? Changing the structures? And how was information for change gathered and processed?

Lunge Variations
by Amanda Fitzpatrick, ACSM-CPT, ACE-GFI
Lunges are one of the best exercises to strengthen your lower body. They target all lower body muscles and also help to improve balance, coordination and posture. These variations will target different muscles including glutes, hamstrings, quadriceps and even the inner and outer thighs.
Complete each lunge for 10 repetitions on each leg!
Aim for as many rounds as possible for a 30 minute duration.
- Lunge Matrix: Forward lunge, lateral lunge, reverse lunge all one one side, then repeat on the other side
- Alternating Reverse Lunge: Stepping behind you to a lunge position, both knees bend to 90 degrees
- Walking Lunges: Stepping forward to a lunge position, make sure you're stepping far enough in front so that your front knee is in line with your ankle and your front heel stays grounded
- Lateral + Curtsy Lunge: Staying on one side, alternate between a lateral and curtsy lunge
- Plyometric Lunges: Add a jump as you switch your feet landing in a lunge position

La Gazette d'Amsterdam: Miroir de l'Europe au XVIIIe siècle
For more than twenty years, Pierre Rétat has played a leading role in promoting scholarship on the role of the periodical news press in eighteenth-century French culture. This volume, a collaborative effort under his direction by a team of French, Dutch and Swiss scholars, most of them veterans of many previous research efforts in the field, provides a 'global history' of one of the period's major international French-language gazettes, from its origins in the period of the Huguenot exodus under Louis XIV to its demise during the revolutionary period a century later. A CD-ROM reprint of the full run of the Gazette d'Amsterdam, produced in conjunction with this volume, is an important new resource for research on the period.
The unique importance of the French-language gazettes published in the Netherlands beginning in the seventeenth century and imitated in other European countries starting in the 1730s was first recognized by the great nineteenth-century press historian Eugène Hatin and has been amply confirmed by recent research. The Rétat team's monograph joins earlier works on the Gazette de Leyde, the Courrier d'Avignon, and the Courier du Bas-Rhin.[i] This volume does not just fill in another gap in scholarship, however. Previous studies had concentrated on the last decades of the eighteenth century; La Gazette d'Amsterdam concerns a paper that dominated the European press field in the late seventeenth and early eighteenth centuries. Rétat and his collaborators show that the division of labor between the officially authorized Gazette de France and the foreign-based press, often interpreted as a response to the growing independence of public opinion after 1750, actually took shape during the reign of Louis XIV, with the active encouragement of the French government, and they demonstrate the importance of the Dutch gazettes in French politics throughout the first half of the eighteenth century.
The earliest known French-language newspaper published in Amsterdam appeared in 1620, eleven years before the foundation of Renaudot's Gazette in Paris, but the enterprise that would be known throughout Europe as the Gazette d'Amsterdam was only founded in 1691, after a period in which the Dutch authorities had tried to suppress such publications to avoid provoking Louis XIV. Descendents of the paper's founder, Jean Tronchin Dubreuil, a French-speaking Protestant born in Geneva who had spent many years in France, continued to own the paper until 1794, assuring its institutional continuity; its longevity was only surpassed by that of the Gazette de Leyde, founded in 1677. Although Tronchin Dubreuil had been imprisoned in France, the paper he founded in Amsterdam was not part of a Huguenot crusade against the Sun King. He quickly adopted the formula that would assure the paper's prosperity down to the 1750s: that of serving as an outlet for material that the French government was willing to tolerate, but that did not fit into the rigid formulas by which the Gazette de France was bound. The Gazette d'Amsterdam was thus in no sense a subversive or contestatory publication. The French government provided it with information, and it was never banned in France; at times, collaboration between the editor and French diplomats in the Netherlands was so close that they shared their copies of source material such as the English newspapers.
For nearly six decades, this system functioned to the mutual satisfaction of the Tronchin Dubreuil family, the French government, and the Amsterdam municipal authorities, who profited handsomely from the license fee the paper paid. Close study of surviving collections suggests that, before 1700, readers did not distinguish clearly between the various competing gazettes d'Hollande, which were treated as a sort of generic genre, but that in the early eighteenth century they began to be separated from each other. Its preponderance in surviving collections indicates that "the Gazette d'Amsterdam is without doubt the great international gazette of the first half of the eighteenth century," as Rétat concludes (127). The cost of a subscription was extremely high, however, and Rétat and Denis Reynaud estimate that its press run probably never exceeded 1250, a fraction of what the successful international papers of the later eighteenth century achieved (80). To this must be added the circulation of several reprint editions, put out in Geneva, Avignon, Venice, Bordeaux and La Rochelle. The Geneva edition had an official privilege and probably appeared with the permission of the Tronchin Dubreuil family. The Avignon and Venice versions both served as stepping stones to the creation of an independent local press; as Gilles Feyel—who contributes chapters on advertising and on the French government's economic regulation of the press to this volume–showed some time ago in the case of the reprints of the Gazette de France, such enterprises were an important stage in the spread of newspaper publication.
Newspapers have their own life cycles, and the Gazette d'Amsterdam entered into a period of decline by the 1750s. As Feyel shows, the French government decided in the 1750s to counter the increasingly outspoken competitors of the Gazette d'Amsterdam by drastically reducing postal rates and allowing all foreign papers to circulate openly in France; the hope was that the lure of expanded sales in the kingdom would make editors more circumspect, even at the cost of undercutting the Gazette d'Amsterdam's privileged position. In the early 1760s, the minister Choiseul also decided to reinvigorate the Gazette de France in the hope of winning readers away from the foreign gazettes. The results were disastrous for the staid Amsterdam paper, too strongly identified with French government interests; it lost ground to the Gazette de Leyde, which had distinguished itself by its support for the parlements during the refusal-of-sacraments controversy, although Annie Rivara's article in this volume suggests that the difference between the two papers' content was not that great. By 1789, the Gazette d'Amsterdam had declined into insignificance, even though its coverage of the French Revolution is not without interest, as Christophe Cave shows. Unlike the Gazette de Leyde, the Amsterdam paper did not manage to profit from the Revolution's return to aggressive news management, and it seems to have ceased publication altogether in 1796.
The Rétat team's volume thus demonstrates that the French public had access to a dependable and reasonably accurate account of current events that went well beyond the officially authorized domestic press all through the eighteenth century, and that the dual press system developed with the active support of the French government, which relied more on carrots than on sticks to manage the journalists beyond its borders. The multi-faceted approach made possible through collaborative research has allowed the authors to overcome the relative paucity of archival sources about the Gazette d'Amsterdam, much less well served in this respect than the Gazette de Leyde or the Courrier d'Avignon. The volume is well integrated and gives a clear picture of a major periodical's rise, influence, and decay.
The twelve CD-ROMs produced in conjunction with this project should become a major resource for scholars working on the political history, not only of France, but of all of Europe, especially in the first half of the eighteenth century. Each issue of the paper is reproduced as a separate document, accessible with Adobe Acrobat softwear. The images are clear and easily readable, and an index on each disk makes it simple to access specific issues by date. Drawing on collections from several different sources, Rétat's team has assembled a complete run of the paper, something that does not exist in any library.

Majority of the temples are dedicated to Lord Vishnu and Lord Shiva. The word Mannargudi is derived from the Tamil word Mannar referring to Vishnu and gudi referring to a place, meaning the "Place of Vishnu". The town was also called "Mannarkovil" or "Rajamannarkoil" after the Rajagopalaswamy temple. The temple is spread over an area of 23 acres and is one of the important Vaishnavite shrines in India. The temple is called Dakshina Dwarka along with Guruvayoor by Hindus. The image of the presiding deity is 156 Feet tall. There is a big tank at the entrance of the shrine where rain water is collected. Theertham Tank is a little far from the temple. This is the place where sages performed penance for the darshan of Lord. This theertha is considered as Jamuna River-Yamuna- and is praised as Haridra Nadhi. The float festival is celebrated here on Aani Poornima day in June-July. The temple complex has 16 gopurams , 7 prakarams, 24 shrines, seven mandapams and nine sacred theerthams .

The temple tank is called Haridra Nadhi, 1,158 feet long and 837 feet broad, making it one of the largest temple tanks in India.
The temple is also known as Dakshina dwarka and it is believed that staying here overnight is equivalent to donating 1000 cows. The utsvar is Rajagopala swamy with Rukmini thayar and Satyabama. There are small calves around the Lord and the idol is very very beautiful and eye catching. The utsavar wears a kundalam in one ear and an earring in another.

Kate Tokyo reveals the secret to a smooth, even base and shapely almond eyes
Just how knowledgeable are you when it comes to Japanese beauty trends? The cosplayers and Harajuku girls get a lot of press, but the surprise is in seeing how the rest of the Japanese ladies do their makeup. There is a fair share of women who favor a more minimalist, understated approach to beauty. Flawless skin, as well as strategically placed color and shimmer, give them fresh faces and an elegant air.
Kate Tokyo is one of the brands under Japan's prestigious Kanebo, the mother company of Lunasol, Freshel, and Impress. It has been around since the late 90's, when it was known simply as Kate. Compared to its sister brands, Kate Tokyo's approach to makeup is more trendy and edgy to match the glam, fashion-forward aspect of Tokyo.
At the event, makeup artist Floe Tapayan and brand manager Robby da Silva explained that the method for applying the trendy gradient eyes has been shifting from horizontal to vertical gradation. Eye shadow gradation is a popular technique for contouring that lends to the appearance of eyes that are bigger and more awake. The eyes are painted to achieve the coveted almond shape (which is considered as the most ideal eye shape) as a result.
With vertical gradation, the darkest shadow color is applied to the outer corner of the eyelid, emphasizing the edges. The midtone or most colorful shade is applied right around the area of the pupil, causing a more wide-eyed effect. This method comes in handy for narrower eyes and monolids, but is applicable to bigger, rounder eyes as well.
To use the new Forming Edge Eyes palette (P770), Floe recommends this technique: starting with the medium color, apply it to the mid eye area. Use the light shadow to brighten the inner corner, then place the darkest shade to contour the outer corner. This helps to maintain the vibrancy of the individual colors and to make blending the three shadows into each other easier. Do the same gradient effect for the lower lash line, but use a fine applicator or brush instead.
Now here's the secret to customizing vertical gradation technique to your eye shape: it's just a matter of going the opposite of where the outer corners of your eyes point. Droopy or down-turned eyes should use upward strokes when the darkest shade is being applied. It will make a huge difference in canceling out the "sleepy look". In the same way, downward strokes are recommended for upturned eyes. For those with monolids, a little bit of exaggeration is required. Go above the fold and use the socket line as your guide to give the folds an extended appearance.
Kate Forming Edge Eyes is available in eight combinations, ranging from demure brown to romantic pink to statement-making blue:
SV1 and BU1 are ideal for smokey eyes on a night out. GD1 has a popping gold color, but is still appropriate for daytime use. Our favorites? The stunning pink of PK1, of course! (Always a Project Vanity fave.) Then there's the edgy olive hue of GN1 that takes us out of our bronze-based comfort zone. And did we mention that the shadows are pigmented yet easy to blend?
The Kate Makeup Lock Primer (P550) is a fragrance-free, long-lasting makeup base that minimizes pores and prevents skin from oiling up quickly. It's lightweight and doesn't bring out dry patches. It's something of a departure from the heavy-duty primers out there, so we think those with drier skin types will appreciate it.
For a complexion that speaks volumes, Kate Powdery Mousse BB (P660) is a mousse-to-powder face base that's ideal for the hot weather here. This is a lifesaver for those who seek multipurpose makeup because it packs coverage, moisture, and even SPF in one step. You can also skip the powder because of its matte finish! Currently there are only two shades available, but Kate may make more colors available in the future.
Do you want to get on the bandwagon of this Japanese makeup trend? Which product are you most excited to swatch?
Kate Tokyo is available in select SM Department Stores and Watsons.

Fire safety is made up of two main elements; fire prevention and smoke control. The outbreak of fire is always a potential hazard in any type of building; from houses and offices to shopping centres and underground car parks. It is important to always have appropriate fore safety equipment to hand as well as being knowledgeable about what to do if a fire occurs. Prepare for the worst so that you are able to so the utmost to protect your family/staff and your home/property.
For fire prevention, it is important to have the correct equipment, such as fire alarms and smoke detectors installed, to be able to be instantly alerted to a fire. Dealing with a fire in its initial stages decreases the potential danger and damage that it could cause. Keep fire hazards to a minimum. Don't leave rubbish lying around that could easily aid the spread of a fire. If using flammable materials use them appropriately to prevent a fire.
If a fire does break out, despite these fire prevention measures it is important to have the proper equipment in place to deal with it. Because smoke is the biggest killer during a fire, it is crucial that a building has a smoke control system in place which allows a clear exit route for everyone in the building. Smoke extraction could mean the different between life and death so it is imperative that smoke control equipment is installed and regularly checked to make sure it is in good, working order.
