Dear customers! We are glad to let you know that we have posted some new bulk offers. The new brand Kalpa is now available in bulk offer. So please make sure you will check it out and place your orders. Warmest Regards NeoMeds Team
Trenbolone 200
Manufacturer: Dragon Pharma
Substance: Trenbolone Enanthate
Pack: 10 ml vial (200mg/ml)
Trenbolone 200 by Dragon Pharma is a steroid injection which contains 200 mg/ml of the hormone Trenbolone Enanthate, and it is available in a 10 ml vial.
The ester acetate of this steroid is a fast acting ester, so bodybuilders and athletes who use it will find injecting it every day is the best schedule for maintaining the blood levels as steady as possible.
Trenbolone is the strongest steroid used by athletes and bodybuilders in our days. Usualy named Tren, Trenbolone is a strong anabolic steroid with high androgenic properties. Trenbolone's chemical structure can not produce aromatisation, so it won't produce any estrogen deposits. This is the main reason why Trenbolone is giving a pronounced quantity of muscles definition and hardness.
First time Trenbolone became a popular steroid when Various pharmacies started to produce the popular steroid, Parabolan. Many users of Parabolan had great results, and that's why many underground labs filled the steroid marked with this drug.
Trenbolone was basically used in veterinary, for increasing the lean mass of the bovines and reducing the body fat of other animals. Bodybuilders who use Trenbolone reported great gains in power and muscle mass, and the same time a great fat loss. The anabolic ratio of Testosterone is 100, but the Trenbolone's ratio is 500, so now you can imagine how powerful this steroid is.
The bad thing about Tren, is the fact that this drug will stop body's natural process of producing Testosterone, so a proper PCT is necessary at the end of a cycle.
By being a powerfull androgenic steroid, Trenbolone 200 will produce several androgenic side effects. To avoid such issues you must keep Trenbolone at an advised dose. If it is not kept at a reasonable dose, than it can convert to estrogen and produce side effects like Durabolin or Deca does. If you're sensitive to this kind of issues, than it is adviced to add some Cabaser to your cycle.
By possessing a well managed anabolic action, Trenbolone 200 can be included in both "bulking" and "cutting" cycles, with great results. Users who want to bulk up can add Testosterone with an oral compound like Dianabol. For cutting cycles bodybuyilders often stack Trenbolone 200 with Testosterone Propionate and Winstrol. Along with a well balanced diet and aerobics, Tren will give great results.Female bodybuilder don't use Trenbolone as it will produce masculizing side effects for sure.
Average dose: 300-700 mg/week

Safe Stretching Guide
As we age, the flexibility of our connective tissues-the ligaments, tendons, cartilage and muscle all decrease. This is inevitable. Yet research indicates that by performing regular flexibility work, we can increase our range of motion by as much as 20-30 percent at any age.
Taking steroids causes intense changes in the hormonal balance of the body. Although the desired effects can be positive for muscle building and fat-loss, there are many negative side effects that can, and will, occur. After a steroid cycle, users should prepare to combat the unwanted effects by planning what is called a Post-Cycle-Therapy.
Human growth hormone
It has been said that homeopathic sprays are safer than HGH injections and hgh side effects are also minimal. Despite this comparison, we will never entice you to go for the other product. We will serve as your guides in your decision to have an HGH therapy, human growth hormone releaser or treatment.

Publisher Electronic Arts seems to have backtracked on its plans to shut down the mobile version of Rock Band following a massive outcry from fans and press yesterday.
Yesterday, customers with the iOS version of Rock Band received a message saying the game would shut down on May 31. Now, EA says that was an error.
"Rock Band for iOS will remain live - the in-app message users received yesterday was sent in error," an EA representative told Kotaku last night. "We apologize for the confusion this caused. We're working to clarify the issue that caused the error and will share additional information as soon as possible."
After news of Rock Band's expiration date circulated yesterday, gamers took to Reddit to complain about EA, which was voted the Worst Company in America during a fan-driven web poll last month. Some fans also bombed the game on iTunes, hitting it with one-star reviews to warn people to stay away.
"How is it that they can have me pay for this app and songs to play, and then just take it away from me after they get their money?" one customer wrote. "RIPOFF!"
In addition, The Verge reports that the FAQ on EA's website, which used to say they were "suspending support for Rock Band after May 31 and focusing resources on other EA titles," has now been modified to reflect the "error."
We've contacted EA for further clarification and will update should we hear anything.

A few months ago, a documentary I saw on the Discovery Channel covered some research by Graziano Fiorito and colleagues at the Stazione Zoologica in Naples. They were investigating observational learning in wild Octopus vulgaris with a puzzle-box experiment similar to those demonstrating cultural transmission in chimpanzees.
It goes like this: there's a tasty and terrified crustacean running around in a perspex box that has two possible ways of being opened by hungry octopuses. The experimenters capture a wild octopus (let's call him Steve) from the harbour (which I'll get back to in a minute), and they put it in a tank with the puzzle-box. After Steve stares hopelessly at the box for a while, it is then removed from the tank. Steve the kidnapped octopus then gets to watch a captive octopus in the next tank being presented with the same puzzle-box containing the delicious crab. Of course, the captive octopus has been confronted with the puzzle-box enough times that it has worked out a successful solution, and so opens the box like a pro. Steve is then presented with a crab in a puzzle-box again, except this time he goes straight for the crab using the same solution he just learned from the captive octopus. Here is a clip from the documentary, showing a trial of this experiment (NB: not the best quality).
It turns out that the papers on this go back as far as Fiorito & Scotto 1992, and it seems this was the first time observational learning had been demonstrated in invertebrates. The reason I'm interested in reporting this is because the documentary I watched explained another possible motivation/interpretation for Fiorito's work that I can't find in any of his actual papers. The octopuses used in the experiments were all caught from the harbour at Naples just before the experiments, which of course controlled for any prior experience with the puzzle boxes. But the results were reported as particularly interesting because the Naples harbour had been overfished and disrupted, resulting in an increase in marine predators that eat the small octopus vulgaris as well as fish that the octopuses themselves rely on. These harsher environmental conditions resulted in the octopuses being forced to inhabit a smaller space alongside each other. As a result, young octopuses were frequently exposed to, and even coexisted with, older octopuses. This is a weird situation for an octopus; they usually live solitary lives and never even meet their own mothers, who die of starvation while caring for the eggs (the fathers die within a few months of having mated). The only real interactions are mating, and conflicts between rival males while competing for a mate.
Toward the end of the documentary, the voiceover growled against some dramatic music about how the combination of observational learning capacities and increased predation pushing octopuses into groups meant that it was only a matter of time before we're overthrown by octopus vulgaris. This made me think of Dunbar's "social brain hypothesis" for the emergence of language, and whether I really should prepare to welcome our new octopus overlords. Talking specifically about primates, Dunbar (1996) states that "[primates] in general exhibit two responses to increased predation: they grow physically bigger [or] they increase the size of their groups" (p.110). In order to maintain these groups, that are essential for survival in harsh ecological conditions, Dunbar suggests that standard primate grooming behaviour becomes too time consuming and costly in order to keep up with the rapidly expanding social group, creating a pressure for a more efficient method of bonding and communicating that allows the size of the group to continue increasing. Again with reference just to primate communication, Dunbar says "This [efficient mechanism] need not have involved any dramatic change, for as the studies by Seyfarth and Cheney have shown, primate vocalizations are already capable of conveying a great deal of social information and commentary." (p.115) In addition to primates, and adding further credence to this idea, it's been shown that the older Matriarchs of elephant groups make use of vocalisations to seemingly instruct their group on how to fend off lion attacks (McComb et al., 2011; previous Replicated Typo coverage here). It seems to me that the difference between the primates/elephants and the octopuses is that the former endeavour to actually enrich the environment from which their conspecifics extract information; they don't just learn, they inform. As far as we can tell, there is no such communication like this – that is, enriching the environment in some way that helps other octopuses learn or survive – happening among the octopuses. That said, we know from mating displays and conflicts that cephalopods can communicate with chromatophore signalling. As an interesting aside that is reflective of their cognitive abilities and capacity for suffering, octopuses are treated as honorary vertebrates by UK animal testing laws.
It's interesting enough that marine biologists (or at least those reporting on marine biologists) seem to have the same idea as Dunbar about the necessary preconditions for successful societies of animals, but why not let's get wildly speculative? If (..!) existing in groups is in fact adaptive for these octopuses in the face of increased predation, and the competition between them for resources isn't too great a counter-factor, it seems the only ingredient missing from an octopocalypse is the emergence of some cooperative behaviour. Someone should keep an eye on that harbour.

One wonders what it is about the Broadleaf maple that makes it have such big leaves? Is it genetically gifted? Or is it just being a show-off?
This leads me to a somewhat tenuous segue into the world of legal stimulants and whether or not they're dangerous. Maybe so. The popular 5-Hour Energy drink has come under suspicion as some 13 people have died from taking the drink and 33 were hospitalized over the last four years. It could be a statistical coincidence, or there could be some validity.
While professional athletes will stop at almost nothing to get the winning edge, even weekend warriors have a compulsion to try all kinds of energy foods and drinks. I've eaten a yummy and easily digested gummy with caffeine and I've got to say I felt a difference. I rode stronger and felt better.
I wish I could feel that way just by eating a bowl of steel-cut oats, but I can't. I know because I eat oats all the time. You shouldn't be worried about taking something that's the equivalent of a cup or two of coffee, but beyond that there could be complications.
As with all quick fixes in life, there are usually negative effects in the long run or I should say, the long ride.

Lead poisoning highly prevalent among school-aged children in Uganda
Researchers at Mount Sinai School of Medicine have found that children living near the Kiteezi landfill in Kampala, Uganda, have blood lead levels nearly 20 times as high as the typical lead level found in U.S. children. The data are published in the current issue of Environmental Health Perspectives.
Led by Leonardo Trasande, MD, Assistant Professor of Preventive Medicine and Pediatrics and Co-Director of the Children's Environmental Health Center at Mount Sinai School of Medicine, researchers evaluated 163 children ages four to eight from nine schools located near the Kiteezi landfill, a site known to contain high levels of lead and other heavy metals. They found that 20.5 percent of the children had elevated blood lead levels (EBLL) greater than 10 micrograms, the level believed to cause developmental and intellectual impairment.
"Exposure to such high levels of lead can seriously hinder brain development," said Dr. Trasande. "While the developing world has made great strides in reducing exposure by phasing out lead in gasoline and paint, our study shows that it is still pervasive in the environment."
Dr. Trasande's team took blood samples and questionnaire data from the children and obtained soil samples from their homes and schools, which are all within 1.5 miles of the landfill. Families that owned more household items and dug wells for their water supply had less chance of EBLLs. Families that consumed more canned food were more at risk, possibly because of lead solder used in cans, and at one point increase in socioeconomic status was associated with 0.57 microgram decrease in blood lead. Most importantly, children living within a half mile of the landfill were 3.4 times more likely to have EBLLs.
"The results of our study are disturbing to say the least, and emphasize the importance of effective waste management strategies to curb the prevalence of lead in this population," said Dr. Trasande. "We hope to study this issue further, especially as it relates to the contamination of the water supply."
In the U.S. and Europe, efforts to reduce lead exposure have been highlight successful, with levels in the U.S. one-tenth of what they were in the 1970s. High levels of lead exposure have been shown to be detrimental to child growth and development.

SEQUOIA-ADJACENT BEAUTY: When you're the largest living things on the planet, you can rightly pull some attention and focus. And the sequoias naturally do; when you're driving up to the national park, it's all you can do not to talk about the General Sherman and General Grant trees and the wonders that await. But one of the entrances to the park happens to also be one of California's prettiest towns (we'll just go on record with that statement, so feel free to quote us). It's Three Rivers, and, nope, there isn't a sequoia to be found -- those are up the big mountain -- but there are bucolic scenes aplenty. The whole area is wild and rustic, with manicured bits here and there, lending the foothill burg a painterly feel. Many locals keep gardens, including the occasional celebrity who calls the area home. Those gardens are often part of the springtime tour, and, yep, famous residents throw their hats in the ring, too. If you know the area you might recall that William Shatner's ranch played a star role on the Three Rivers Hidden Gardens Tour a few years back, and this year? Anjelica Huston's Flying Heart Ranch will welcome lovers of all things natural and wild.
DATES AND DETAILS: The date for this year's look-about is Saturday, April 20 and tickets are $40. As in years past, the money raised helps out education in Three Rivers. It should also be noted that there will be a few patches of prettiness beyond the Flying Heart Ranch. A lavender plot will be featured, and a look at original adobe homes (and how adobe is made). Music and food round out the day. Us? We'd make it a part of a bigger sequoia drive weekend. In fact, Three Rivers should be a part of every sequoia weekend in our book. Even a stop in town for lunch has a way of gentling one's pace. Just don't tell the General Sherman or General Grant trees they've got a little natural competition down the big hill.

Pavritta Janu Sirsasana begins in a space of total groundedness. Our sitting bones root to the earth and our core lifts us in strength and surety. As we extend our bodies into a new space, it is easy to forget about the roots and the strength that was our beginning. We often move so quickly into defining this place as an extreme stretch, that we forget what originated this moment. So, in this pose, we find a way to experience the dichotomy of strength and of stretching to our limits all at once. If we take the time to observe our tendencies, as we begin in Pavritta Janu Sirsasana, we may discover that we define these dichotomies often in our lives, feeling that we must be either strong or flexible, but rarely both. Thus, by mere definition limit our experience.
Reaching Pavritta Janu Sirsasana requires a good deal of preparation. Spaces of lateral flexion, core strength engagement and pelvic stabilization build to the creation of an asana whose defining moments both encompass and exceed all of the preparation. There is a point in the intense lateral flexion where we question where we are going and how we are going to get there, but, if we keep reaching, keep stretching beyond our perceived limitations, we may find a freedom that is both defined and beyond definition.
When we open our bodies in any way, we open to the infinite potential of our deepest Self. Often a revolved pose such as this, moves the eyes of the heart more deeply inward, but revolved head to knee pose trusts our core and our roots so much that it allows us to open our hearts to the world. As we extend our side bodies and revolve our hearts upward, we move from an individual to a universal definition of Self. At its conclusion, we can feel that Pavritta Janu Sirsasana has left us with an immense feeling of space and freedom of which we may have been previously unaware. We have, for a moment, moved beyond the limited definition of our individual self and into a space of infinite awareness.
Just like any experience on or off our mats, it can be frightening to move beyond the definitions we have created for ourselves. The habitual way we label and define our experiences is so much a part of us that it is almost second nature. But, with consistent practice and patience, we can feel the boundlessness that comes from stretching our limits. We can begin to redefine our old expectations and create new definitions to stretch beyond. It is part of our nature as humans to define our experiences, but it is also part of our spiritual nature to recognize the ways this limits us. So we work with this interplay of our humanness and our spirit, constantly dismantling and rebuilding our definitions to be more in align with who we really are. Coming to your mat with this intention can make the practice of Pavritta Janu Sirsasana an infinitely expansive experience.
—Kelly Golden
In regular life, we do not typically move into straight sidebending motions, as in Pavritta Janu Sirsasana. Therefore, this posture moves our bodies in a way that is not something we experience everyday. Pavritta Janu Sirsasana helps to bring greater mobility into the spine and rib cage. This mobility leads to greater expansion of the lungs for fuller breathing capacity and therefore can impact our nervous and endocrine systems.
By stretching the sides of the body, this posture brings length to many muscles that are on the outside of our trunk. The Latissimus Dorsi, which originates on the pelvis and attaches to the shoulder, is elongated which can impact how we move from our pelvis to our spine to our shoulders. Latissimus Dorsi tightness contributes to rounded shoulders and shoulder/back dysfunction so this posture can be helpful for some instances of back and shoulder pain. The Quadratus Lumborum, which originates on the pelvis and attaches to the ribs and lower Thoracic/upper Lumbar vertebrae, is also elongated. The Quadratus Lumborum is often contracted and tight when experiencing low back pain, and therefore this posture can be helpful in some cases of low back pain. The long back muscles, the Erector Spinae, which originate at the sacrum and attach all along way up to the neck are also stretched. All of this brings more space into the spine, one side at a time so that you can work on each side individually versus working both sides simultaneously as in a forward bend such as Paschimottanasana or Janu Sirsasana. Bringing more space into the spine will help to decrease any compressive issues in the back.
Typically this posture is done with the leg out at an angle from the body so that as you bend over the outstretched leg your torso is sidebending towards that side versus flexing forward over the outstretched leg as in Janu Sirsasana. As you come into this posture, there is an opposite direction rotation, so the chest can stay open and your body stays in one plane of motion. Biomechanically this is a natural movement of the vertebrae, sidebending one direction and rotation the opposite direction. As you lift your arm overhead and bind the foot of the outstretched leg you bring the stretch into the Latissimus Dorsi of the side you are moving away from. Typically, as stated above, the outstretched leg is at a wide angle away from the body, bringing the stretch into the Adductors. However, some traditions will do this posture with the leg straightforward, as in Janu Sirsasana. When the pose is done in this way, the stretch is more in the Hamstrings and there is more rotation motion than sidebending motion. This causes the stretch in the torso to be greater in the Obliques than in the Quadratus Lumborum.

Shane Victorino and Ty Wigginton homered, Joe Blanton pitched seven strong innings and the Philadelphia Phillies beat Miami 3-1 on Thursday night in the Marlins' second game without suspended manager Ozzie Guillen.
Blanton (1-1) allowed three hits and a run in his first start following an injured-plagued season. Blanton had two lengthy stints on the disabled list and pitched in only 11 games in 2011, the lowest for a full season in his career.
Blanton is often overlooked in a Philadelphia rotation that boasts three aces. Against the Marlins, he was as effective as he was during his first two seasons in Philadelphia.
The Marlins lost their second straight game without Guillen. He was suspended five games by the Marlins on Tuesday for saying he admired Cuban dictator Fidel Castro.
Jonathan Papelbon took the mound in the ninth to Marilyn Manson's "Antichrist Superstar," and quickly ran into trouble. But he retired John Buck on a game-ending double play for his second save.
Blanton outdueled Mark Buehrle (0-2) to help the five-time NL East champions win their second straight game and move back to .500. Blanton made only eight starts last season because of elbow problems. He was in a groove and had good command while throwing 85 pitches.
The Phillies know they can count on Roy Halladay, Cliff Lee and Cole Hamels to help them overcome an offense weakened by the loss of Chase Utley and Ryan Howard. But Vance Worley and Blanton are rotation wild cards.
Lee, Worley and Hamels are the probable pitchers for this weekend's three-game series against the improved New York Mets.
Having Blanton back in the mix as a dependable starter would bolster Philly's chances to hold off NL East teams on the rise such as the Marlins, Washington Nationals and Atlanta Braves.
The Phillies broke through for seven runs a night earlier against the Marlins after scoring a combined eight runs over the first four games. They couldn't put together a big inning against Buehrle - but a team that became annual contenders on the back of the long ball went deep twice.
Buehrle retired the first nine batters before Victorino led off the fourth with a shot to left for Philadelphia's third home run of the season. John Mayberry Jr. added a run-scoring single later in the inning for a 2-0 lead.
The Marlins made it 2-1 when right fielder Hunter Pence misplayed Buck's low liner and couldn't come up with the ball, scoring Omar Infante.
That was it for the Marlins. Chad Qualls tossed a scoreless eighth, working out of a jam after Miami put runners on first and second with two outs. He caught Giancarlo Stanton looking at a 92 mph fastball to end the threat.
Wigginton homered in the seventh to make it 3-1.

Sensitive ultrasound to spot early-stage cancer
(PhysOrg.com) -- European researchers have developed highly sensitive ultrasound equipment that can detect tiny quantities of reflective microbubbles engineered to stick to specific tumour cells. The technique should pick up tumours early and improve patients' chances of survival.
Most of the current diagnostic methods – biopsy analysis, biochemical tests and medical imaging – are not sufficiently sensitive. They frequently return a false negative; the tumour is only discovered when it is much bigger, and too late.
European researchers are developing a new technique that will help medical professionals visualise tiny quantities of pathological tissue in patients. The technology could localise tumours in their very earliest stages of development and help doctors begin treatments much earlier, giving patients a much better chance of survival.
The new approach uses medical ultrasound, a safe technology most commonly used for pre-natal visualisation of the foetus and the imaging of other soft tissues. A probe sends high-frequency acoustic waves into the body and detects how they bounce off the interfaces between different tissues.
To improve the sensitivity of this imaging technique, a sonographer may sometimes inject a so-called contrast agent into patients, which greatly increases the scattering of the acoustic waves back to the probe. For ultrasound imaging, contrast agents are based on 'microbubbles', micron-sized gas-filled balls that show up brightly on the ultrasound image.
Researchers in the EU-funded TAMIRUT project have developed a microbubble medium that can specifically target and bind to certain pathogenic cells in the body (such as endothelial cells of vessels lining the tumours). Combined with enhanced ultrasound equipment and signal processing capabilities, the system can detect where microbubbles adhere to target cells, and reveal the presence of early-stage tumours.
Working with the pharmaceutical company Bracco Research S.A. in Switzerland, TAMIRUT researchers have developed a way to attach antibodies onto the surface of microbubbles. By selecting an antibody with an affinity for marker molecules found only on target vascular cells, the microbubbles 'stick' only to the target cells.
But it is not easy to pick up these hotspots on a scan. "We are looking at the very earliest stages of tumour growth, so there are not many cells present expressing the marker of interest," explains Alessandro Nencioni who coordinated the project.
"There may be only three or four microbubbles adhered to a site and current ultrasound equipment is not able to pick these up. Work on the hardware and signal processing is an essential aspect of this project as we seek to develop next-generation ultrasound imaging capabilities."
Strong signals
Esaote, an Italian manufacturer of medical imaging equipment, is working with several research partners and two SMEs: Vermon, a French manufacturer of medical imaging probes, and SignalGeneriX, a small firm based in Cyprus with expertise in signal processing. Their aim is to produce a scanner and a dedicated probe that can transmit and receive ultrasound waves across a wide range of frequencies and wave forms in order to exploit (without any modification) the harmonic components caused by nonlinear scattering of the acoustic wave of the microbubbles.
The scanning equipment must have sufficient processing power to interpret the waves picked up by the probe, update the live image and adjust the transmitted waveforms in real time. Their detecting function is ensured by a specifically developed signal processing methods, able to detect a very limited number of microbubbles (down to a single bubble), to estimate their concentration, and to track their behaviour to get the diagnostic answer searched.
Originally, the project partners thought it would be possible to differentiate between bound and unbound microbubbles by the way they scatter particular ultrasound frequencies and wave forms. However, extensive simulations and laboratory testing have shown that this turns out to be very difficult. Instead, the scientists found a very simple answer: after 10 minutes, the microbubbles that are attached to target cells remain in place while the free microbubbles diffuse away.
The new probe will detect and calculate their local concentration and operators will be able to visualise any areas of high microbubble density within an entire organ. The repetition of this new imaging technique over time could help medical staff to assess the evolution of a tumour, especially its vascularisation.
Using the engineered, targeted microbubble contrast agent, the improved ultrasound hardware and the signal processing, the TAMIRUT team has already demonstrated in simulations the potential of this approach for the early detection of prostate cancer.
"Our approach goes a long way to eliminating or strongly reducing the problem of false-negative diagnosis," says Nencioni, "offering a second degree of evaluation after blood test screening. It is sensitive, specific and you are able to examine the whole organ, which is not possible by biopsy."
This ultrasound method improves accuracy, patient comfort and costs around half that of a biopsy. It could save European healthcare providers up to €250 million each year in biopsy costs alone.
The need for clinical trials of the targeted contrast agent and subsequent approval in humans means that the targeted microbubble agent is unlikely to be available for at least three years. But the improved signal processing algorithms will help to increase the sensitivity of ultrasound equipment, irrespective of the use of these microbubbles.
Esaote is working with the other commercial partners to incorporate the new signal processing features into its medical imaging equipment by the end of 2009.
TAMIRUT project received funding from the ICT strand of the Sixth Framework Programme for research.

Amy Lewis
The rounded and nodding, purple-blue flower heads of Devil's-bit Scabious can be found in damp meadows and marshes, and along woodland rides and riverbanks. It is in bloom between July and October, its pincushion-like flower heads attracting a wide variety of butterflies and bees. It is also the foodplant for the declining Marsh Fritillary Butterfly which is classified as a Priority Species in the UK Biodiversity Action Plan.
How to identify
Devil's-bit Scabious has flattened, rounded flower heads which range in colour from blue to pinky-purple. Its leaves are long and oval, and differ from those of Field Scabious which are dark green, hairy and deeply lobed.
Where to find it
When to find it
- July
- August

How can people help
Our native wildflowers, such as Devil's-bit Scabious, provide important links in the food chain for many other animals, including rare species like the Marsh Fritillary Butterfly. The Wildlife Trusts recognise the importance of healthy habitats to support all kinds of species throughout the food chain, so look after many nature reserves for the benefit of wildlife. You can help too: volunteer for your local Wildlife Trust and you could be involved in everything from coppicing to craft-making, stockwatching to surveying.

Ortanique-Rum Cake
By á-170456
- 1/2 pound butter softened
- 1 ortanique* zested
- 1 1/2 cups sugar
- 4 eggs
- 1 3/4 cups flour
- 1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
- 3 tablespoons Jamaican rum
- 4 tablespoons ortanique juice
- 8 tablespoons guava jelly
- 1/2 cup Jamaican rum
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 1/4 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 2 tablespoons confectioners' sugar
- 3 ortaniques supremed
Servings 2
Step 1
* Ortanique is a hybrid of a tangerine and a sweet orange. If you are unable to find ortaniques, simply substitute equal parts of tangerine and any sweet orange.
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees and grease and lightly flour 2 (8- or 9-inch) round cake pans.
In the bowl of an electric mixer, cream the butter and zest. Add the sugar little by little, until mixture is very light and fluffy. Add the eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition.
Sift the flour and baking powder together and add to butter mixture in three stages, alternating with 1 tablespoon of the rum after each addition. Mix on low speed until just incorporated.
Divide the mixture between the two prepared cake pans, and bake for about 25 minutes, or until the cake is golden brown and springs back when lightly touched. Allow the cakes to cool in the pans for a few minutes, then turn out onto cooling racks lined with waxed paper.
In a small saucepan, combine the ortanique juice and guava jelly and heat until jelly is softened and combined with the fruit juice. Remove from the heat and stir in the rum.
Use a toothpick to make small holes all over the bottoms of the cakes, then brush with 1/3 of the glaze each. Once the cakes are completely cool, combine the heavy cream and vanilla extract in a mixing bowl and beat to soft peaks. Add the confectioners' sugar and continue to beat until cream holds stiff peaks.
Place each cake layer on a serving platter (glazed-side up) and spread the whipped cream evenly on top of the cakes. Decoratively arrange the ortanique segments around the edges of the top of the cakes, then brush the segments with the remaining glaze. These cakes are best when eaten the day they are made, just after being assembled.
This recipe yields 2 cakes, serving 10 to 12.

I have a layer file that has a few polygons in it, each of these polygons is required to be a different color based a column in the DBF file.
I normally color layers like this:
ISimpleRenderer simplerenderer = geolayer.Renderer as ISimpleRenderer;
SimpleFillSymbol simpleFillSymbol = simplerenderer.Symbol as SimpleFillSymbol;
simpleFillSymbol.Color = selectedColor;
But this doesn't have a mechanism to use multiple colors on the same layer. How does one accomplish this?

Florida is home to immigrants from across Latin America and the Caribbean. In celebration of Hispanic Heritage Month (September 15-October 15), this series of blog posts features music brought to Florida from throughout the Hispanic world.
Today we're highlighting Puerto Rican jibaro music. The term jibaro originally referred to Puerto Ricans from the interior mountainous regions of the country. Overtime jibaro became more of a general term for the rural population of Puerto Rico.
In 1986, Jorge Lopez and the band Lena Verde (Angelo Hernandez, Alejandro Santiago, and Angelo Rosario) performed this traditional style of Puerto Rican music at the first annual South Florida Folk Festival.

On World Press Freedom Day last week, Nigeria's Information Minister, Labaran Maku, publicly asserted that the country's media "is one of the freest in the universe." On paper, Nigeria's 1999 Constitution guarantees the freedom of the press to "uphold...the responsibility and accountability of the government to the people." But seven journalists who attempted to put this principle to practice on World Press Freedom Day experienced a different reality -- one all too common for independent journalists working in Africa's most populated nation.
On May 3, seven journalists turned up at the police Special Fraud Unit in Lagos, Nigeria's commercial capital, to interview the former state governor and current parliamentarian, Bukola Saraki, whom police had summoned to respond to allegations of involvement in a multimillion dollar fraud, according to local media reports. Police officials directed the journalists to the office of the police spokesperson, Ngozi Isitume, in an adjacent building.
But as the politician emerged, preparing to leave, the personal assistant to SFU Commissioner of Police Tunde Ogunsakin rushed to the office door and locked the journalists inside together with Isitume, several of the journalists told me. They were held in the small office for 15 minutes, until Saraki and his entourage departed, they said.
"I was about to go out when he pushed me on the chest and said, 'Go back, you can't go out,'" said Oluwole Adeboye, a reporter with The News magazine and PM News. Ogunsakin's aide, who later let the journalists out, said he acted on orders to save his job, according to news reports. The journalists promptly expressed their displeasure to Ogunsakin, who only asked his assistant to apologize to the journalists.
The journalists maintain that the police had planned to obstruct them all along. Their suspicions arose when, from the window of Isitume's office, they saw Ogunsakin's and Saraki's aides talking and pointing to where the journalists were waiting. The police conspired to deny the journalists and their media houses their rights under the Nigeria Constitution and the Universal Declaration of Human Rights, they said. One of them, Patience Ogbo with Daily Times Online, described the experience as "the highest form of abuse of a citizen's right to freedom of expression and movement."
The other five journalists involved are Emmanuel Oshodi of The News/PM News; Benjamin Ezeamalu of Premium Times Online; Eniola Akinkuotu of The Punch newspapers; Albert Akpor of Vanguard Newspapers; and Wisdom Patrick of Daily Independent.
The government has not condemned the act nor taken any disciplinary measures against the officers of the Special Fraud Unit. This indifferent attitude of Nigerian authorities has emboldened the police to deny such an incident took place. When reached by phone, Ogunsakin categorically told me the journalists were never locked in. Isitume confirmed she and the journalists were together in her office during the period, but also denied they were locked in.
It is for times like this that World Press Freedom Day was founded -- to remind us of the danger of allowing press freedom be violated: that it sets a dangerous precedent for future acts of impunity against journalists, human rights activists, and every citizen of any country. When the merits of such a day aren't respected, society can only be worse for it.

"Why was I turned down for a mortgage?"
The housing market is booming right now. Maybe you tried to get in on it, but were turned down for a loan. Don't get mad…get educated!
Here's what might be working against you:
Employment. You need to show evidence of steady employment and income, typically for two years, and there shouldn't be any indication that your employment is going to go south. If you're self-employed they'll want to see good numbers on your last two years of company returns as well.
Credit score. The average score late last year was in the mid-700s for a conventional loan. Rates for FHA and VA loans were lower than that but still pretty steep. If the two of you are trying to qualify—you both need a strong score. Also, even if you're on a great track again after a bankruptcy or foreclosure, lenders will require a 2-4 year waiting period in the case of bankruptcies and up to 7 years following a foreclosure.
Debt. Lenders follow two rules of thumb when they try to predict if you'll be able to make your payments. They don't want to see you spend more than 30% of your gross income on housing costs (e.g., mortgage, taxes, home-owners insurance, etc.) and more than 40% of your gross income on total debt (all of those home-related payments plus credit cards and other loans).
Down payment. Conventional lenders require a 5% down payment; the FHA only asks 3.5%. As you save to reach these levels, remember that there will be other costs you'll have to pay related to the home purchase—inspection, appraisal, etc.
So, if you were turned down, I recommend you work hard to fix your credit, pay down your debts, and save, save, save!

Mitrovica: 1908
High Albania by Edith Durham is a classic, and ought to be required reading for all students of the Balkans. In 1908 this redoubtable Englishwoman travelled through northern Albania and Kosovo, and travelled to Mitrovica by train from Pristina. In 1908 political developments made the region relatively safe but Durham writes that to catch the train from Pristina one had to travel three-quarters of an hour outside of town to reach the station – now in Kosovo Polje. On the way to get the train Durham is told by a man, her "Moslem travelling companion" that at the moment there were "very more people travelling" because the road out of town, normally deemed to dangerous, was currently safe from bandits. On the train Durham met an elderly Sephardic Jew and his wife from Pristina. They were on their way to Sarajevo to say goodbye to his brother before emigrating to Jerusalem.
The train ran through fertile land, cultivated fairly well, passing only one town, or rather village, of any size, Vuchitrn (wolf's thorn) said to be largely Serb.
Mitrovica, on rising ground at the very end of Kosovo plain, is small, but cleaner and less hopeless-looking than Prishtina. It is a new town made mainly since the railway; and, as it is on the junction of the Sitnitza and the Ibar, has a good and ample water supply, and fine vegetable gardens.
Durham writes that "the large majority" of the population were Moslems but "the number of Orthodox I failed to learn; they are building a large new church." This is probably the church of St Sava, now in south Mitrovica, that was begun in 1896 and torched during the riots of 2004. Durham writes: "Mitrovitza, though it looked so peaceful, is tinder waiting for the spark".
Almost one hundred years after Durham's visit Mitrovica is again on the frontline.
Mitrovica may be called a "frontier" town. Albanians and Serbs alike claim it jealously.
Durham lays part of the blame for tensions over Mitrovica on the shoulders of foreign powers, specifically Austria and Russia. While Austria is now no longer a world player, the echoes of 1908 can clearly still be heard today.
Austria (to gain her private ends) wins Albanian support by promising that never, never will she allow the sanjak to become Serb.
The town looked so peaceful that it was hard to believe that but six years years ago it had been the scene of fierce fighting, in which Shtcherbina, the Russian consul forced into the place in the teeth of Albanian opposition was killed. Of his gallantry on behalf of the Slav interests that he was sent to protect there can be no question, nor of indiscretion, alas! with which he set to work. Austria at once planted a consul to watch her own interests; and there the two most interested Powers watch to this day.

marilen necesitaba un nuevo diseño de logotipo y lanzó un concurso de diseño en 99designs.
Un ganador ha sido elegido entre 44 diseños de 12 diseñadores freelance.
Logo needed. Partial drawing or shape of a woman's body wearing knitted shorts. The shorts area needs to be the focus, so maybe from the shorts up, OR from right below breast area to right below bottom, showing some thigh. Name "SugarShorty's" must be included (all one word, or 2 separate words). Try different, fun fonts. I prefer cursive font. PLEASE READ COMPLETE BRIEF.
Desired Color Scheme:
Black outline, with color knitwear.
Desired Style:
see full description
Accepted File Formats:
vector format
I am a knitwear designer (and knitting teacher) specializing in (but not l;imited to) lower body wear. My "product" and service is lessons, as well as the patterns (instructions) for my unique designs.
For the logo, In needs the bottoms of a woman wearing knitted shorts. i want the shortsto be low-waist style, and to have belt loops and maybe even a belt, but it all has to be visibly made of the SAME KNITTED fabric. I am flexible with the colors for now. The drawing of a back view of the body, or kind of sideways, but definitely showing the back the most. The shorts have back POCKETS, in one of which there knitting needles are sticking out from, OR she could be holding them in her hands. A ball of yarn is optional, and if you do include it, she probable needs to be holding it in her hands somehow. So, her hands could be in the drawing.
I would like for the logo to somehow reflect her personality. I envision a logo that represents a VERY CURVY woman. I want to represent a fresh, active, fun, creative, crafty, thrifty, sexy, sporty, motivating, laid-back, spicy woman. She makes it seem easy to achieve the finished KNITTED products, such as the shorts she's wearing. I do not want a strip-club style image. I want it to be professional yet fun and interesting. Unique.
For the type of fit and style of the shorts, see this link and click on the alternate view of the picture (my idea would have pockets though):
Check out the type of curvy woman on the cover for the new FitnessRx Magazine (http://www.fitnessrxmag.com/),

A German Shepherd serving as a K-9 officer with the Mendocino County Sheriff"s Office died Friday during an accident while not on duty, the MCSO reported.
According to the MCSO, Argus, a 2-year-old German Shepherd assigned to Deputy Craig Walker, fell 30-feet after jumping off a building and died instantly.
The fall occured around 11:45 a.m. Feb. 8 when the dog was off-duty and got out of an enclosed back yard and apparently wandered up onto a nearby building. When Walker called for the dog, Argus "responded immediately to his handler"s call and was not aware of the height of the structure" he leapt off of.
Argus had been brought to the United States from Slovakia and had been assigned with Walker for approximately six months prior to his death. He assisted Walker on his patrol duties in Anderson Valley, providing handler protection duties, fugitive apprehension and drug detection.
Argus made a recent visit to the Anderson Valley School District where the students met him and learned about the K-9 duties related to law enforcement.
The MCSO notes that Argus will be remembered as "devoted, courageous, and loyal," and will be missed by Walker and his family and everyone in the sheriff"s office, which will be seeking another K-9 officer.

Winter on the Außenalster in Hamburg, February 2012. After just a a few days of severe frost, the Alster froze over. This occured last time in 2010 after over 10 years pause.
At the Außenalster (Outer Alster) in Hamburg. The Alster river has been dammed in the centre of Hamburg, where it forms two artificial lakes in the city - the smaller Binnenalster (inner Alster) and the bigger Außenalster (outer Alster). The Außenalster along with the surrounding parks (which had been a closed private area until 1952) are a favourite recreational area in the heart of the city, for the residents as well as for professionals.
Hamburg: Second largest city of Germany, situated in the north at the river Elbe, because of the seaport well known as a city of merchants. Because of the nearby sea, you will always have some fresh breeze while you are walking through the streets with nice private town-houses or while you are floating along aboard an "Alsterdampfer" on the river Alster.

Some children who have developed mild to moderate
contractures (knees, ankles, wrists, fingers, elbows)
may benefit from serial casting.
Serial casting is a temporary straightening and casting of the
affected joint (for about 2 days). The cast is then removed, the child goes
through some physical therapy, and a new cast is applied with the joint
stretched a bit more.
The procedure is repeated with the joint a little straighter each
time. This process continues until maximal straightening has occurred. A
resting splint may be worn at night for 3 to 6 months afterwards.
Serial casting may be able to restore the ability to straighten a
mildly contracted joint, but it is unlikely to improve severe

Updated: July 17, 2013
Since starting my work as a Faculty Advisor for secondary pre-service teachers, I have learned something that surprises me. Elementary teachers are often required to develop a teaching portfolio, yet secondary teachers are not required to create one. Often the secondary student teachers go ahead and develop one, but it is their own choice; it is not an assignment in any of the courses they take, nor is it included in their practicum requirements. Both programs require student teachers to complete a series of reflections, but these reflections are not a part of the portfolio package.
In an attempt to understand what might be different between the two areas of teacher education, I decided to look at the typical contents of a teaching portfolio. Some impressive examples can be found on the McGill University site:
The most common items found in a teaching portfolio are:
- A philosophy of teaching
- Sample Lesson Plans
- Sample Unit Plans
- Classroom Management Philosophy
- Evaluations of Teaching
- Honors or Recognitions
Other categories of portfolio contents could be:
Roles and Responsibilties: This category could include a list of courses taught with topics or themes that were covered during the practicum. Brief descriptions of class size and make-up could be added with anecdotes of challenges faced.
Representative Course Materials: This section could contain a course outline with details of content and objectives. Lists of texts and extra readings that are useful to course content could be kept here. Methods and procedures for evaluating students would be helpful with examples of exams, quizzes or other samples of assessment strategies.
Descriptions of Teaching Experiences: This section could be 'rich' with meaningful records of peak moments of the practicum. Personal notes or letters from students, fellow teachers or administrators can speak volumes about teaching ability and this section allows these keepsakes to be showcased. Video clips of teaching or interviewing students could also be housed in this section.
Professional Development: Much learning can occur during a Pro-D day, workshop or webinar. This informal learning won't show up on a resume, so it is advantageous to point out this learning in the portfolio. Any participation or membership in teaching associations could be highlighted here as well. This indicates a commitment to personal professional development which is necessary for teachers of all levels.
As I look over this list, I cannot see much difference between elementary or secondary teaching portfolio contents. What I can see, once again, is that all teachers could benefit from developing a portfolio and the process would deliver rewards for many years to come.
Update: There are many online guides to creating a teaching portfolio us1ng wordpress.com.
This site by Edwige Simon from Colorado shows you how to create a teaching portfolio – step by step. It even includes a printable handout. Thank you Edwige!
There are many great examples out there, I could add links all day. Here is one last but lovely example by Amy Burghardt of Regina, Sask.

On September 11, 2012, the Ecuadoran government interrupted a morning newscast on the Teleamazonas TV station for an official bulletin. What could be so urgent? A coup d'etat? An earthquake? A cholera outbreak?
It turned out the government sought to clarify what President Rafael Correa had for breakfast.
In this series
• Part 1: Repression deepens
• Part 2: Breakfast bulletin
• Part 3: Election without news
• Part 4: Four more years
The issue arose a week earlier on Teleamazonas when an opposition lawmaker claimed that during Correa's visit to a provincial town where he ate breakfast in a local market, the president's food had actually been provided by a nearby hotel. It wasn't exactly "breakfast-gate." Yet the secretary of communications put together a three-minute rebuttal complete with interviews of market vendors who confirmed that they had prepared the empanadas and coffee that Correa had consumed.
Under Ecuador's 2008 Constitution, which guarantees the "right to reply" to those who maintain they were slandered by the media, Teleamazonas, a private station that's often critical of the government, had no choice but to broadcast the segment.
The practice of pre-empting broadcasts for official announcements, known as cadenas, was enshrined in Ecuador's radio and television law in 1974, under a military government. Back then, the state did not own any TV stations and the provision was designed to guarantee air time for important government announcements and communiqués in times of crisis, according to César Ricaurte, director of the Andean Foundation for the Observation and Study of the Media, or Fundamedios.
Until recently, the measure was used sparingly, according to Alfonso Espinosa, an anchor for the private Ecuavisa TV station, who has worked as a journalist for 46 years. By contrast, Espinosa told CPJ, the Correa administration is using cadenas as a habitual tool to bully its way onto the air, respond to critics over issues great and small, and flood the airwaves with propaganda.
From January 2007 when Correa was first sworn in to August 2012, his government broadcast 1,365 cadenas for a total of 11,793 minutes, according to Fundamedios. That adds up to more than eight days of airtime.
Fundamedios, which has been critical of the Correa government's crackdown on the press, has itself been the subject of 10 cadenas, Ricaurte said. Just in the past year, Teleamazonas has been forced to broadcast 69 hours of government cadenas.
Some of the segments pre-empt programming nationwide to transmit news about government activities. But others serve as rebuttals to specific news reports and interviews touching on Correa and his ministers. In these cases, the secretary of communications often informs the station the day before that it must broadcast the government's reply at a specific time with no advance warning of its content.
"There is no way to prepare for a cadena because you have no idea what the government is angry about," said Janet Hinostroza, who anchors the "30 Plus" newsmagazine on Teleamazonas and whose reports have prompted several cadenas. "You get surprised on the air."
Ricaurte, of Fundamedios, calls the cadenas especially abusive because the government has so many other ways to get its point across. For one, it spends huge sums on advertising. For another, the government has built up a public media empire consisting of 21 outlets, including newspapers, TV, and radio stations that often reflect the administration's point of view. In addition, journalists constantly seek interviews with administration officials. But claiming they are biased, Correa has ordered his ministers and many other appointees not to speak to media outlets critical of his government.
Patricio Barriga, Ecuador's acting secretary of communications, told CPJ that many of the cadenas are educational in nature. He said these segments are necessary because private TV stations, which have the highest audience ratings, focus on entertainment and don't do enough to educate and inform the public.
The pre-recorded rebuttals, Barriga said, are designed to counter what he claims have been a barrage of lies about the government told by the private media. The government stopped providing officials for their interview programs, Barriga said, because they were nearly always used to provide a semblance of balance for reports that were slanted against Correa.
When asked why the Correa government found it necessary to use far more cadenas than any government in Ecuadoran history, Barriga said: "The law is the law, and if the law permits it, it will be used."
Although the cadenas are a nuisance, especially when they eat into prime time, Ecuadoran TV executives say they are just one of several ways the Correa government is trying to undermine their stations.
For example, a ballot measure approved in 2011 states that the owners of media companies must divest themselves of other businesses. The measure was ostensibly designed to prevent conflicts of interest in news reporting. However, critics contend it could make media companies more reliant on government advertising--and less critical--since their owners can no longer rely on outside business profits to help prop up struggling newspapers, TV, or radio stations.
There's also a brewing fight over content. After years of broadcasting soccer games, Teleamazonas and Ecuavisa recently lost their rights to Ecuadoran matches--a massive audience draw--when the Ecuadoran Soccer Federation signed a lucrative new deal with public TV. In both cases, according to executives for Teleamazonas and Ecuavisa, the government's bid far outstripped what they could offer and they suspect political motives were involved.
The government "wants to reduce the influence, the business and the ratings of private television stations," said one TV executive who did not want to be identified. "And there are many ways to do that."
