It's not every day that the UFC schedules its top two pound-for pound fighters for fights at the same event. While neither Jon Jones nor Demetrious Johnson are the company's top draws, they are the finest at their craft, and UFC 197 is a rare opportunity to catch them both.
Neither man has a true defeat at his current weight class. Jones' lone career loss came via controversial disqualification in 2009, while Johnson's only semi-setback at flyweight was a 2012 draw in his debut at 125 pounds — he won a rematch in his next bout.
Both are in championship bouts, although Jones is the challenger after legal issues led to him being stripped of the light heavyweight title. Johnson, on the other hand, is the only man to hold the UFC's flyweight crown.
Read on for more on the fights that matter in a busy April full of important bouts. All rankings in parentheses come from my personal rankings, which are available to view in full at www.ufc.com/rankings.
April 10: UFC Fight Night: Rothwell vs. dos Santos (Zagreb, Croatia)
- Heavyweight: Ben Rothwell (2) vs. Junior dos Santos (4)
- Women's strawweight: Maryna Moroz (10) vs. Cristina Stanciu
On a card littered with less-heralded heavyweights, the main event is a true must-watch contest. While dos Santos has fallen on hard times since losing his championship to Cain Velasquez, his boxing prowess gives him a good chance against the well-rounded Rothwell. Look for him to get back on track with a late-round TKO.
At about half the weight of the headliners, Moroz is the only other ranked fighter on the card. She welcomes a fellow prospect, unbeaten Stanciu, to the octagon. This is a tossup, but experience favors Moroz to earn another submission.
April 16: UFC on Fox: Nurmagomedov vs. Ferguson (Tampa, Florida)
- Lightweight: Tony Ferguson (1) vs. Khabib Nurmagomedov
- Light heavyweight: Glover Teixeira (3) vs. Rashad Evans (9)
- Lightweight: Beneil Dariush (4) vs. Michael Chiesa (12)
- Women's strawweight: Tecia Torres (3) vs. Rose Namajunas (8)
- Bantamweight: John Dodson (2 FLW) vs. Manvel Gamburyan
- Featherweight: Cub Swanson (6) vs. Hacran Dias (11)
- Middleweight: Lyoto Machida (6) vs. Dan Henderson (12)
- Women's bantamweight: Bethe Correia (11) vs. Raquel Pennington (14)
It's hard to recall a more stacked card that didn't cost around $50 to watch.
The network TV headliner features two of the top three lightweights in the sport. As a matter of fact, the unbeaten Nurmagomedov was the last man to beat champion Rafael dos Anjos. He's been sidelined by injuries, but his suffocating, grappling-heavy style should neutralize the all-offense game of Ferguson to earn a championship rematch.
The cofeature at 205 pounds favors Teixeira. Former champ Evans isn't a championship-level fighter anymore, and Teixeira should win a decision behind his superior boxing.
Dariush's spot in the top five is tenuous — his last win over Michael Johnson is considered a loss in many minds. He's got a tough challenge against another grappling-oriented fighter in Chiesa. It's a tough call, but the pick is Chiesa by decision.
Torres already defeated Namajunas in 2013, and a second win should earn her a title shot later this year. Namajunas looked excellent in her win over Paige VanZant, but Torres is a different breed who should win another decision.
Dodson returns to 135 pounds after his second loss to the flyweight champ, and he's got a real chance to enter the bantamweight title picture quickly. Navigating Gamburyan's takedown prowess won't be easy, but Dodson packs a wallop and should fight a way to finish the fight.
Swanson followed a six-fight win streak with two losses in a row. Making sure Dias doesn't extend the skid won't be easy, but the finish-minded Swanson should find a way to end it one way or another.
Machida edged Henderson in a lackluster light heavyweight bout three years ago. At 45, Hendo's chin has worn thin, and Machida will take advantage in a very violent way.
Correia's self-promotion earned her a title shot last year, but she remains only a midlevel 135-pounder. She could be in trouble against tough out Pennington, who should win a close decision.
April 23: UFC 197 (Las Vegas)
- Light heavyweight title: Daniel Cormier (C, 12 pound-for-pound) vs. Jon Jones (1, 1 P4P)
- Flyweight title: Demetrious Johnson (C, 2 P4P) vs. Henry Cejudo (3)
- Lightweight: Anthony Pettis (3) vs. Edson Barboza (7)
- Women's strawweight: Carla Esparza (4) vs. Juliana Lima (13)
- Middleweight: Rafael Natal (7) vs. Robert Whittaker (9)
- Featherweight: Yair Rodriguez (14) vs. Andre Fili
Jones last fight before being stripped of his title was a convincing decision against Cormier. While D.C. has been an impressive champion in his own right, he needs a win to legitimize his reign. Unfortunately for the champ, Jones is just a better fighter, and he'll prove it again.
Johnson has been so dominant at 125 pounds that it's hard to imagine Cejudo succeeding where better fighters have failed. He'll be a game opponent, but look for Johnson to tap out the challenger at some point.
Anything short of a Fight of the Night winner would be a disappointment for Pettis-Barboza. Former champion Pettis is the more dynamic striker, but not by much. Because of that, he the slight favorite to win via TKO.
Esparza, the former champion, should be a step above Lima. She'll win a decision as long as a yearlong layoff hasn't left her too rusty.
A pivotal middleweight bout between Natal and Whittaker figures to produce a potential title challenger for 2017. Whittaker's striking give him the edge, and he should end Natal's night early.
Rodriguez's early returns in the UFC are impressive. He's not likely to rise much in the rankings with a win, but he'll get the victory nonetheless.
Outside the octagon…
April 2: World Series of Fighting 30 (Las Vegas)
- Middleweight title: Dave Branch (C) vs. Clifford Starks
- Welterweight: Jon Fitch vs. Joao Zeferino
Branch, who also reigns as WSOF's light heavyweight champ, is a cut above Starks. Look for the New Yorker to retain his middleweight strap via submission.
Fitch isn't an elite 170-pounder anymore, but he remains a tough out. In the rich Fitch tradition, this fight should go his way on the judges' score cards.
April 15: ONE Championship 40 (Manila, Philippines)
- Welterweight title: Ben Askren (C) vs. Nikolay Aleksakhin
The title at stake is misleading. ONE Championship now has its welterweight limit at 185 pounds — the typical middleweight max. All that said, Askren should roll here. He is perhaps the top non-UFC welterweight in the world for a reason.
April 22: Bellator 153 (Uncasville, Connecticut)
- Welterweight title: Andrey Koreshkov (C) vs. Benson Henderson
- Featherweight: Patricio Freire vs. John Teixeira
Henderson, the high-profile free agent acquisition and former UFC lightweight champion, should be favored to beat the champ, but don't write off Koreshkov completely. Henderson is still untested against upper-level welterweights, and Koreshkov is Bellator's best. Still, Henderson is a smart bet to win a decision.
Freire will look to bounce back after losing his 145-pound title. His aggression should lead to an early finish of Teixeira.

Free help, support and health-checks for local smokers at drop-in event - Friday 4 September, Hounslow High Street
Smokers who complete the Stoptober challenge are five times more likely to succeed giving up for good
Hounslow Stop Smoking Service is urging local smokers to improve their health and save money by joining thousands of smokers across the country taking part in the 28-day Stoptober challenge throughout October.
To kick start the local campaign and help smokers gear up for the challenge, Hounslow Stop Smoking Service is holding a health promotion launch event on Friday 4 September, 9am to 5pm - at Hounslow High Street - in front of The Holy Trinity Church, opposite the Treaty Centre.
At the drop-in event, local smokers will have the chance to access the help and support they need to go smoke-free for Stoptober - as well as a range of free health checks - and advice from other health providers, including the British Heart Foundation and Prostate Cancer UK.
Stop smoking specialists from the team will be on hand between offering information and motivational advice, free CO readings, lung efficiency tests, general health checks, and information about the free support available through the local NHS Stop Smoking Service for Hounslow.
Ven Chennubotla,stop smoking specialist said: "The event will be a great opportunity for smokers to get a health check and gain a better idea about the damage caused by smoking. Smokers will be able to have a lung age test and their CO readings assessed, along with assessments of carbon monoxide poisoning and tar build-up caused by smoking – which results in compromised lung efficiency and breathing difficulty.
"So please, drop in on the day and get the help and support you need to go smoke-free, and learn the techniques you need to know to lead a healthy lifestyle."
Other local health services will also be on hand at the event to help you with living a healthy lifestyle, including:

Frank Sims, chief executive of Hounslow and Richmond Community Healthcare NHS Trust, said: "If you are a smoker, giving up is absolutely the best thing you can do for your health - which is why we're really pleased to be supporting the national Stoptober campaign this year. Research shows that people who successfully quit smoking for 28 days are five times more likely to stop for good, so taking part in Stoptober challenge is a great place to start."

Animal Remedies
On the pathway to better soils and pastures, cows can run into health hiccups.
Using antibiotics knocks out the beneficial soil and rumen microbes and pushes the cow backwards, usually shortening her productive life.
True Health animal remedies provide organically certified solutions to many of the dairy health challenges.
Human Remedies
We can use plant based products for many of our health challenges as well.
Moving towards better nutrition and away from antibiotics is the most important step to take for our health.
When you have health hiccups, consider using Dr Dettloff's Will-John Tincture for natural de-stress and pain relief, or his CEG Tincture which combines three of Nature's most potent herbs – Cayenne, Echinacea and Garlic.
This is where it starts.
We need to fertilise and manage soil cover so that microbes and plants have the best possible diet. Only then will we farmers regenerate soils, so we can produce more pastures and crops, of higher quality and with fewer pest issues.
True Health is about getting our soil minerals balanced and our soil microbes healthy.
"I used Nature's Cycle H tincture on 40 genuine non-cyclers who had been vet tested. 35 came on within 10 days with strong heats. I've seen two years of great results with this product."
Regan McLeod, Matamata
"The products are awesome.
I get the same rate of success in treatment / improvement as with antibiotics but with no negatives.
I really love the products."
Kathleen Hughes-Long, Dannevirke
"I have been using the Truly Healthy Balm on myself and the kids grazes, sores and dry skin etc. I have to say it's a fantastic natural product! It heals things almost overnight."
Tania Boshier-Jones, Napier

Gazprom resumes gas supplies to Belarus
Issued on: Modified:
Russia's natural gas monopoly Gazprom announced Thursday it is resuming its gas supplies to Belarus now that it has settled its $200 million debt in full. Belarus is now demanding that Russia pay a $260 million debt for transit of gas to the West.
AP - Russia's state-controlled natural gas monopoly said Thursday it is resuming gas supplies to Belarus now that it has paid its nearly $200 million debt for previous shipments.
The Kremlin said the chief of Russia's state-controlled Gazprom natural gas giant, Alexei Miller, has told Russian President Dmitry Medvedev the company would resume supplies to Belarus.
Belarus said Wednesday it had paid the debt to Russia, but demanded in return that Moscow pay what it claims is a $260 million Russian debt for transit of gas to the West. Belarus has threatened to cut transit of Russian gas Thursday if Moscow doesn't pay off the debt.
Gazprom spokesman Sergei Kupriyanov refused to comment on the Belarusian demand.
On Wednesday, Belarus cut transit shipments of Russian gas to European Union member Lithuania by 30 percent.
The EU voiced dismay. EU spokeswoman Marlene Holzner said the bloc's energy commissioner, Guenther Oettinger, told Russian and Belarus officials in telephone calls that "Europe must not be taken hostage in this dispute" and expects that gas flows will remain uninterrupted.
About 80 percent of Russian gas exported to Europe normally goes through Ukraine, while the rest is carried via Belarusian pipelines.
Russia has cut gas supplies to both Ukraine and Belarus several times in recent years due to payment disputes, and many European consumers have suffered amid freezing winter temperatures. The cutoffs have prompted the EU to search for alternate gas supply routes.
Russia is Belarus' main ally and sponsor, but relations between the two former Soviet countries have been strained by financial arguments.
Belarus has insisted that Russia should provide cheaper oil and gas as part of the customs union deal that is to come into force next month, but Russia has refused.

Standard bearers: Jumi Cheese
Categories: Behind the stalls
In a regular series that explores the story and philosophy of the Market's Slow Food approved traders, this month we talk to Marcello Basini, manager of Jumi Cheese
"We have to make something that stands apart; that stands alone," says Marcello. If he sounds melodramatic for the manager of a Borough Market cheese stall, it is with reason: for the problems facing farmers and cheese producers in the region of the Swiss alps from which Jumi Cheese hails are some which hang over traditional dairy communities across the globe.
Large manufacturers produce cheese that was once the preserve of tiny, family-run dairies at a price with which they can't compete. With their original buyers undercut, farmers have little choice but to sell their milk to these industrial-scale producers for "pennies—literally pennies," says Marcello, sadly, thus precipitating a sharp decline in their own income and quality of life. Jumi Cheese—along with the other Slow Food producers fiercely preserving the artisanal skills and produce of their region—is a sharp, citrusy retort to that.
Founded by two friends, Jurg and Mike, it is borne out of five generations of cheesemakers based in the Emmental valley near Bern in Switzerland. Each cheese comes from one of a handful of family-run dairies. Each dairy boasts centuries of inherited artisanal skill; each litre of milk comes from simmental cows, which are indigenous to the region and graze only on fresh grass in summer and hay in winter. "I don't even know what to call them in English," says Marcello, when asked whether the cows are fed any supplements of any kind. "But no. None of those."
On a motorbike
"The milk is delivered by selected farmers every morning to the dairies in a range of vehicles, each according to the size of the farm it is from. There's a smaller farmer with one tank on a motorbike, another with a van and big tanks, another with a trailer behind a car," he continues, "so we can support farms regardless of their size."
Buy mass-produced cheese and the milk could hail from as far as Poland. This adherence to localism ensures not only the livelihoods of the community, but also the quality of the cheeses they produce. "The cows are unique to the region, their food is unique to the region, and you can taste that. The character is all within the milk," Marcello explains.
The sweetness, the sharpness, and the way it changes and matures with time is something only the tongue can comprehend. "The same cheese in spring can be totally different—creamy, or more intense—and again in the summer and again in winter. This great difference in flavour and texture comes out through the concentration of proteins and fats in the milk as the cheese matures."
Changed in character
The milk is unpasteurised. "It is really alive," says Marcello, "And you can see that: from the colour, and from the changes in character." Jumi Cheese is unusual in its having introduced various new cheeses to the Market—brainchildren (or rather, braincheeses) of one of the founder's cousins, Herr Glauser. "He's in his fifties now, and been making cheese since he was 19 years old. It can be quite repetitive and quite solitary, making cheese, and so he has been experimenting in what he calls his lab, which is no bigger than the Borough Market stall. Now we have a mix of classic cheeses like emmental—made in the most traditional way—and cheeses that never existed before."
Some of these new breeds, like so many of the great cheeses, came about by accident: an experiment left mistakenly in a cave or cupboard for so long that what was intended by it is forgotten, though what it's become is a delicacy no amount of planning could ever have devised.
Belper Knolle is such a cheese. Created initially with the intent of making a fresh cottage-style cheese mixed with garlic or citrus, it was forgotten, left to mature in the fridge far longer than intended, and when discovered, was hard as parmesan. "You can have it with pasta, salad, scrambled egg—it's a very special cheese," says Marcello proudly. Coated with a fine dusting of black pepper, it is a nutty, gnarly and delicious testimony to the marriage of quality raw milk and time.
Innovation and tradition
Not every experiment works out; nor every accident. But if the combination of innovation and longstanding traditional practices can ensure the survival of this century-old rural community, it could prove as pioneering and versatile a model as the now-famous cheese, Belper Knolle.

Many people would like to have a home in the place where they can feel comfortable. There are many factors that persuade us to choose one country instead of another. If you have possibility to buy a home abroad, Turkey is one of the best options for you. People select the countries with proximity to the sea, warm weather for the main part of the year, great foods, and services.
All those factors increase the prices of real estate in many European countries, however the prices in Turkey are still more affordable than in Europe, plus you get everything what you are looking for:
- the Mediterranean climate has the summer season which last from March to November with hot summers and mild winters,
- Mediterranean and Aegean Sea with its great coastal scenery,
- beautiful culture, historical places,
- Turkish people are kind and friendly and tourists are highly satisfied with services in this country,
- the costs of living are low,
- low property taxes,
- property holders can apply for citizenship and living permission without problems,
- resale of the property and rental income with profit: investors in Turkey have been more than satisfied with their investment returns either from a steady rental income or overall capital gain.
So make a good decision,
and come to live here!
Turkey is a wonderful country preferred by tourists mainly for its historical places, culture and beautiful seaside resorts along Mediterranean and Aegean coasts. Recently, it has become more and more popular for spa and healthcare tourism. The nature is one of the main reasons why foreigners have started to
. Many people choose this country to live and to retire in.
Turkey has advantageous geographical location, situated at the crossroads of Europe and Asia. Turkey provides large capacity and strength in the construction sector, population growth and demographic advantage, extensive urban development and much more. It offers great potential for investors in real estate in Turkey.
Turkey is defined by many specialists as one of the world´s newly industrialized countries. Many countries have been unable to recover their economy from the recent global financial recession, but the Turkish economy has, on the other hand, expanded. Its economy is one of the fastest growing in Europe and also in the world.
However, the economic growth has slowed down a little bit in the last years, but property market in Turkey is still one of the best markets in Europe.
Costs of Living in Turkey
If you decide to buy a property, you want to know all the possible information about monthly and annual costs. Costs of living in Turkey are quite low if you compare them to European countries. Monthly or annual maintenance costs of apartments or villas depend on the location. They usually involve cleaning of the whole complex including swimming pool, electricity generator, gardener and more. However, water and electric bills are separated, but those numbers are not high, yet everything depends on the size of the apartment or villa.
has really reasonable prices in comparison with other countries. Many foreigners find real estate in Turkey very attractive and invest here. In the next few years, the prices of property are expected to grow, so the investments in apartments and houses will eventually return. It means that nowadays is really great opportunity for foreigners to buy their holiday home in Turkey. It´s destination mostly for holidays, but a lot of people have decided to spend their retirement in this country, not only because of reasonable prices of apartments and villas for sale, but also for its beautiful nature, kind people, low costs of living and life without stress mostly near the sea.
As a well-known tourism destination, Turkey is among the most popular tourist countries in the world. In 2014, Turkey was 6th most visited country with over 35 million tourists. In 2015, the number of tourists has declined, especially because of crisis in Russia, Turkish elections and Turkish-Kurdish problems in tourism destinations. Turkey´s tourism profit fell down in the last quarter of this year. It was tough year for Turkey with all the problems around, but it hasn´t change anything about the fact that Turkey, with its lovely nature, great climate and culture, is still one of the most attractive destinations not only for tourists, but also for new coming residents.

The Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) issued the county's most recent Flood Insurance Rate Maps (FIRMs), including the map panels for the City of Davis on June 18, 2010. These map the Special Flood Hazard Areas (SFHAs). The SFHAs are FEMA's determination of property that has a 1% chance of flooding in any given year. The SFHAs, or so-called "100-year flood" designation, is the criteria banks must use when the mortgages are backed by a Federal loan program. In these cases, homes within the flood hazard area must have flood insurance, through the federal flood insurance program. Even if the mortgage is not through a federal loan program, lenders may require flood insurance, if their policies so provide.
Yolo County is in a natural floodplain. SFHAs run along the Colusa Basin Drain near Dunnigan and Knights Landing, Cache Creek and the Sacramento River, including the Yolo Bypass. In the City of Davis, south of I-80, the current "100 year" SFHAs stop at the west levee along the Yolo Bypass.
As a result of levee failure and severe floodwater damages sustained nation-wide, FEMA requires certification of existing levees to meet or exceed quality standards established in 1986 for design and maintenance. As a result, even though the quality of the local levees hasn't changed, none of the Yolo County levees met certification standards prior to the deadline for the current mapping effort, and this resulted in tens of thousands of people throughout Yolo County being required to obtain flood insurance by spring 2010.

A multi-faceted relationship between national oil companies (NOCs) and sovereigns presents both risks and credit strengths, according to Moody's Investors Service.
In a statement yesterday, Moody's said NOCs with high debt levels and diminished financial capacity present the greatest contingent liability risks for sovereigns.
Meanwhile, the impact of sovereign support and influence on NOC ratings varies, it said.
In a report entitled Sovereigns & National Oil Companies — Relationship is a Source of Credit Strength and Risk for Both, Moody's looked at the multiple aspects of the economic, financial and policy links between NOCs and sovereigns…

Reader Spotlight: Chuck Kingston
Meet bassist Chuck "KingStunned" Kingston, a bassist from Denison, Texas and our player in the spotlight for June 7, 2011.
Some people never get the chance to live out their dreams in life. I can call myself one of the few lucky ones. Life itself has a rhythm it flows by.
The bass guitar has always been my highway. The beat in my heart jumps into the bass I play and through the amp for all to hopefully enjoy.
This is the job that it never feels like I'm working a single day in my life.
Denison, Texas, USA
Day gig:
I work at JC Penney as a shoe salesman, but hope real soon I am able to be a full time musician again.
Years experience:
20+ years
Bands & Gigs:
My newest venture, is playing bass for Days Of Grey, which finds me teamed up with some really great musicians and even better people. I truly look forward to making great music and meeting all of the D.O.G. fans.
- Charvel Fusion V 5-string bass
- Rogue 5-string bass
- Ibanez Gio 4-string
- Hartke Kickback 12 for smaller gigs
- Hartke VX3500 combo for all other gigs
- Hartke & Rotosound strings (45-130)
- Boss ME-50B bass effects processor
Why I play the bass:
Upon seeing Gene Simmons I told my mom that's what I want to do for a living. Plus, being born into a family with strong musical talent, some things aren't avoidable.
My bass superpower/claim to fame
I got my love of music from my mom Jackie (rest her soul) who was an accomplished singer/songwriter/guitarist. Mom was blessed to play with music greats like Jim Reeves, Slim Whitman and even the great Elvis Aaron Presley in 1958 during the Louisiana Hayride. As a 16 year old then, she said there was no greater joy in the world.
My influences
Any musician who pours their heart out through their instrument or lyrics is an influence to me. Popularity doesn't have anything to do with it.
I grew up in a house with many different styles of music. My mom and dad molded me with country, rockabilly and gospel. My brother turned me on to the great classic rock of the 60's and 70's from The Guess Who to Alice Cooper, while my sister offered me generous doses of Rod Stewart, Peter Frampton and AC/DC.
Kiss is my all time favorite band. The first time I remember seeing Gene Simmons on the Kiss Alive album cover, I told mom that's what I'm going to be when I grew up. She bought me my first bass guitar for my 9th birthday, and I haven't looked back.

US to send expert to India to cut Iran oil imports
Carlos Pascual, the State Department`s Special Envoy and Coordinator for International Energy Affairs, will be in India next week with a team of experts for talks with Indian officials on the Iranian issue. "We are working with them to help them in any way that we can offer technical assistance, and next week my energy coordinator, Ambassador Carlos Pascual, will be in India with a team of experts," Clinton was quoted as saying by CNN.
Clinton`s comments came after her visit to India during which she asked New Delhi to restrict its trade and energy ties with Tehran to meet international demands on its disputed nuclear programme. After talks Clinton, External Affairs Minister S M Krishna had said, "I conveyed our vital stakes in peace and stability in the Persian Gulf and wider West Asian region, given the six million Indians who live there and the region?s importance to our economy."
Clinton appreciated the steps being taken by India to reduce its dependence on Iranian oil while acknowledging that it is "hard" for New Delhi to do so. "Well, India has reduced its dependence on Iranian oil. I know their refineries have stopped asking for orders to purchase Iranian oil. So they certainly have taken steps," Clinton said.
The US Secretary of State, at the same time, acknowledged that doing this is going to be a bit tough for New Delhi. "Because we know that this is hard for India, just like it`s been hard for some of the European countries that were very dependent upon Iranian oil, for Japan. And we have worked with them and offered suggestions about alternative sources of supply at an affordable cost," Clinton said.
"So we appreciate the steps that India has taken, and we`re continuing to consult with them," Clinton said. India, she noted, shares exactly the goals of the United States on Iran. She said New Delhi has put itself on the line to get Tehran back to the negotiating table. "They have put themselves on the line to get Iran back into the P-5+1," Clinton told the National Public Radio (NPR) in an interview when asked of India`s role in the Iran issue.
The US has been urging India and other countries to slash oil imports from Iran aimed at stepping up pressure on Tehran to comply with international demands over its nuclear programme. India, which imports 80 per cent of its crude oil and relies on Tehran for 12 per cent of those imports, has said it needed to continue to buy Iranian oil to meet its domestic requirements.
Though India has publicly not said it was aiming to cut back on oil imports from Iran, the country`s top oil importers have been pushed to reduce Iranian oil imports by 15-20 per cent. Crude imports from Iran fell to 18.5 million tonnes in 2010-11 from 21.2 million tonnes in 2009-10. Last fiscal (2011-12), Iranian oil imports dropped to less than 16 million tons. This year they may further come down to 14 million tonnes.

Above, 3/26/2012, Obama reaches across the table to press the hand of Russian Pres. Medvedev to emphasize his deep sincerity about giving Putin what he wants after the Nov. 2012 election when he'll never again have to face US voters. Screen shot from UK Telegraph video.
"Obama: "This is my last election. After my election, I have more flexibility."
Medvedev: "I understand. I will transmit this information to "Vladimir."
March 29, 2012, "Thornberry: Obama plans double cross on missile defense," Washington Times, Rep. Mac Thornberry, Texas
"President Obama said something important and revealing on Monday in South Korea....
Mr. Obama was talking with Russian President Dmitry Medvedev when neither of them realized that their conversation was being picked up by microphones. Here is what they said:
Obama: "On all these issues, but particularly missile defense, this, this can be solved, but it's important for him to give me space."
Medvedev: "Yeah, I understand. I understand your message about space. Space for you..."
Obama: "This is my last election. After my election, I have more flexibility."
Medvedev: "I understand. I will transmit this information to Vladimir."
"This is my last election. After my election I have more flexibility." That statement tells us much about the president's mindset.
The specific mention of missile defense is worrisome enough. Mr. Obama has retreated from the missile defense plan that was negotiated with European allies during the George W. Bush administration. Apparently, he is signaling Moscow that he intends to retreat further. The clear implication from the president's comments is that he cannot tell the American people before the election what he plans to do after the election.
In addition, there is the phrase "on all these issues," implying more is at stake than just missile defense.
For example, the White House has floated proposals for more deep cuts in our nuclear deterrent-as much as 80 percent. In mid-February, I had the chance to ask Defense Secretary Leon E. Panetta and Joint Chiefs of Staff Chairman Gen. Martin E. Dempsey about these trial balloons. I told them that such talk does nothing but encourage our enemies to pursue nuclear weapons and discourage our friends from believing they can count on our nuclear deterrent. The result is a more dangerous world with more nuclear-weapons programs spread across it.
"More flexibility" without having to answer to voters again may well mean cuts in nuclear weapons and capability that will end the peace-through-strength approach pursued by both parties for more than 50 years. In addition, "more flexibility" in an attempt to please Russian President-elect Vladimir Putin also could include a host of other measures that weaken the United States and reduce the confidence other nations have in us....
Mr. Obama seems anxious to be unshackled from the American voters so he can do what he thinks is best for all of us without having to be accountable for it. His comments are revealing-and deeply disturbing. Undoubtedly, they should be an important turning point for those who may be unsure of his leadership and the direction in which he seeks to take our country now and in the future."
"Rep. Mac Thornberry, Texas Republican, is vice chairman of the House Armed Services Committee."
Video from UK Telegraph, "Barack Obama in open microphone gaffe with Dmitry Medvedev," posted 3/26/2012
Added: Putin endorses Obama over Romney, cites Obama's favorable view on missile defense:
9/6/2012, "Putin on U.S. Vote: Obama 'Genuine,' Romney 'Mistaken'," Wall St. Journal, James Marso, Lukas I. Alpert, Moscow
"Russian President Vladimir Putin said the re-election of President Barack Obama could improve relations with the U.S., but that he was also prepared to work with Mitt Romney, calling the Republican candidate's tough stance on Russia "pre-election rhetoric."
In contrast to what had been viewed as a chilly attitude toward Mr. Obama, Mr. Putin called his U.S. counterpart "a genuine person" who "really wants to change much for the better." Speaking to Russia's state-run RT television channel, he said a second Obama term could help solve disputes over missile defense....
Relations with Russia first heated up the campaign in March [2012], when Mr. Obama was inadvertently caught on an open microphone telling Mr. Putin's predecessor, Dmitry Medvedev, that he would have "more flexibility" after the election to address Russia's concerns over the proposed U.S. antimissile shield in Europe.
The U.S. says the defense system is designed to protect against a possible missile attack from Iran, but Moscow says the interceptors could neuter Russia's nuclear arsenal....
Mr. Romney said Russia was America's "No. 1 geopolitical foe." Mr. Putin said such talk was "mistaken" electioneering, adding he was prepared to work with whomever Americans elect. He [Putin] warned, however, that a Romney victory could complicate attempts to resolve Russia's opposition to the shield.
"Our American partners tell us, 'It's not [aimed] against you.' But what if the president of the United States will be Mr. Romney, who considers us enemy No. 1?" he told RT in the interview, recorded Monday and broadcast Thursday.
In his broadest public comments since returning to office in May, Mr. Putin also stuck firmly to his position against outside intervention to end violence in Syria and brushed off Western criticism that he is cracking down on the nascent antigovernment protest movement in Russia. He said Russia, which has vetoed three U.N. Security Council resolutions aimed at pressuring the Syrian authorities to end violence, wouldn't shift its stance.
"Why should only Russia re-evaluate its position?" he said. "Maybe our partners in the negotiation process should re-evaluate their position."
He suggested that efforts to aid militants in bringing down the regime of President Bashar al-Assad would backfire and create a situation like that seen in Afghanistan after the defeat of the Soviet Union by mujahedeen fighters.
He said that would undermine efforts to tackle global terrorism and that the U.S. may as well "open the gates to Guantanamo and let all the Guantanamo inmates into Syria, let them fight. It's the same thing."
Mr. Putin did, however, change tack on the Arab Spring protests, which he had earlier described as a Western attempt to advance its interests in the region. In the interview, he said the uprisings in North Africa and the Middle East happened as leaders hadn't responded quickly enough to people's demands for change.
Turning to his response to protests in Russia that swelled at the end of last year, Mr. Putin rejected claims he is clamping down on dissent.
"What is 'tightening the screws'?" he said. "If this is a requirement that everyone, including representatives of the opposition, obey the law, then yes, this requirement will be consistently implemented.""...

I was just talking to my sister yesterday about how we can stay healthy this winter. I mentioned that I started keeping the hand sanitizer by the entrance to the house and in the car. She thought that was a good idea. I also have trained my daughter to head right to the sink after she sanitizes and walks in the house. That is key I think. We take basic vitamins and eat a healthy diet with lots of fresh fruit and vegetables. My sister does the same. We exercise and keep our bodies lean and healthy.
She mentioned a great product that had worked for her daughter last winter to help reduce flu symptoms: Children's Oscillococcinum. I told her that it was interesting because I have been familiar with Oscillococcinum for many years starting back when I was a student studying abroad in Italy in the 1980's. The family I was living with gave it to me when I came down with the flu. It really helped me and I have used it a number of times of the years. It used to be difficult to find but now Boiron has a really solid presence in the US. It is great to have a children's version of Oscillococcinum to rely on for my daughter too. I feel comfortable using it since it has a long history and has been around for many years. It is a safe blend of natural ingredients to help the body heal itself. They have a new coupon good for any of their ColdCalm, Oscillococcinum or Chestal children's products too. http://children.boironusa.com/
We also get good sleep. My daughter gets to bed at a reasonable time and gets enough sleep for her body to recover which is also important. I think all these things are important and if you do get sick try natural and safe remedies first. Don't forget the chicken soup too...

GLP to Develop 3 Large-Scale Logistics Facilities in Greater Tokyo
- By
- Jan 21, 2014
Global Logistic Properties Ltd. (GLP) has recently announced it would begin construction on three major multi-tenant logistics facilities in Greater Tokyo.
In the submarket of Saitama, where the vacancy rate for this type of development is as low as 4.3 percent, the company will be developing two projects, GLP Sayama Hidaka I and II.
At an estimated cost of $179 million (JPY 18.7 billion), the new facilities will offer a combined floor area of approximately 1.4 million square feet. Completion is scheduled for December 2015 and May 2016, respectively. Sustainable features will include a strong soil foundation, a state-of-the-art seismic isolation structure, as well as the use of LED lighting and thermal insulation materials.
GLP has also announced plans to develop a 775,000-square-foot logistics facility in Chiba Prefecture, about 18 miles from downtown Tokyo. Called GLP Yachiyo, the project entails a total investment of $106 million (JPY 11.1 billion).
Scheduled for completion in October 2015, the facility will offer easy access to the Greater Tokyo Metropolitan area – a population center of more than 13 million people – through the Chiba Kita Interchange of Higashi Kanto Expresway.
"GLP Yachiyo is strategically located in Chiba Prefecture, one of the most important distribution regions in Greater Tokyo. The development offers a host of sustainable features, which is becoming a key competitive advantage in today's market," Yoshiyuki Chosa, president of GLP Japan, said in a news release. "Customer demand in Japan for modern logistics remains strong and we see significant opportunity given attractive fundamentals, our market-leading platform and strong local team."
All three projects are being developed under the GLP Japan Development Venture, a 50/50 joint venture between GLP and the Canada Pension Plan Investment Board.
Formed in August 2011, the venture has reached an investment capacity of $2.2 billion and has committed a total investment of $1.1 billion (JPY 112.9 billion) to date.
With a portfolio of241 million square feet, GLP is the leading provider of modern logistics facilities in China, Japan and Brazil. The company's properties are strategically located across 62 cities, forming an efficient logistics network that serves about 700 customers.

Additional Information
Occasional constipation is a common condition affecting 15-20% of the United States population. It can be caused by stress, dehydration and factors related to diet and lifestyle choices. The prevalence of refined sugars and carbohydrates and the low presence of fiber in the Western diet have been linked to the slowing of bowel transit time and the alteration of the colonic environment. Dietary fiber is the indigestible part of plant foods that makes stool soft and thus enables smooth bowel movements, prevents occasional constipation and promotes healthy gastrointestinal (GI) microflora balance.
Fiber Plus is a natural fiber supplement containing a balanced ratio of soluble and insoluble fiber to help with occasional constipation and maintain long-term bowel regularity and health. The main ingredient in Fiber Plus, psyllium seed husks, is one of the most widely used fibers in natural bulk laxatives. Both the psyllium seeds and husks used in Fiber Plus are 100% organic and free of the contaminants often found in other sources of psyllium. In addition to psyllium, Fiber Plus includes rice bran for its glycemic balancing effects and pectin, a soluble fiber found in apples. Fig fruit and prune are also included because they contain natural compounds which act as mild colonic stimulants to relieve symptoms of occasional constipation. A three-capsule serving of Fiber Plus includes 2 g of fiber and offers a great alternative for those who prefer not to consume fiber in liquid form.
Supports Bowel Regularity
Helps With Occasional Constipation
Supports Blood Sugar Balance
Promotes Healthy Cholesterol Levels
Suggested Use:
3 or more capsules per day with at least 8 oz. of liquid or as recommended by your health care professional
Ingredient Benefits
Psyllium Husks and Seeds
Several clinical trials have shown psyllium to be superior to other laxatives. A systematic review found psyllium husk to improve overall bowel regularity more effectively than lactulose. Psyllium has been found to be effective at increasing stool output and was found to improve the symptoms of occasional constipation increasing abdominal comfort and a sense of evacuation completeness, while reducing defecation effort.
Rice Bran
In one animal study, giving 10 g per day of rice bran, including water soluble rice bran and rice bran fiber concentrates, resulted in significantly enhanced blood sugar balance and fasting blood sugar and lipid levels were maintained in the normal range. The extracts of rice bran have also been found to support cardiovascular health, a balanced inflammatory response and a healthy colon environment.
Apple Pectin
A meta-analysis of randomized controlled trials showed consumption of several grams a day of pectin promotes healthy blood fats and maintains cholesterol levels already within a normal range.
The phytochemical properties of fig's laxative effect are due to the bulk of seeds and fibers. In a double-blind, randomized controlled study of 20 patients with occasional functional bowel irregularity, supplementation with fig fruit increased frequency, reduced defecation time, improved abdominal comfort and heightened a sense of complete evacuation. Fig fruit supplementation also improved the symptoms of occasional irregularity, and the fruit has also been shown to maintain bulk in those with loose stools.
Prunes or dried prunes have 6.1 g of dietary fiber per 100 g, as well as large amounts of phenolic compounds which may aid in their efficacy for occasional constipation and glycemic support. The phenolic compounds in prunes have been found to inhibit oxidation of certain blood fat components in vitro, and thus may protect against oxidative damage. In addition, prunes have a high concentration of potassium and have been shown to support blood pressure and cardiovascular health.

Full text not available from this repository.
Background-Gluten sensitivity is thought to be significantly under-diagnosed in the population. Aims-The aims of this study were to investigate the prevalence of antibodies associated with coeliac disease in a large representative sample of the adult population and to determine factors that are associated with their presence. Patients-Serum samples from 5420 subjects with approximately equal numbers in each five year group from ages 15 to 65 years were obtained from the Belfast MONICA project and Change of Heart surveys, set up to monitor and assess risk factors associated with coronary heart disease in the population. Methods-Using immunofluorescence and enzyme linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) techniques autoantibodies, including those to reticulin, endomysium, and gliadin were determined. Results-The results establish that IgA antigliadin antibody prevalence is high at 5.7%. Antiendomysial antibody was present in 1.2% of samples and gliadin and endomysial antibodies in 0.4%. No significant differences were found between men and women, area of residence in Northern Ireland or the year of sampling over the eight year period. However, there was a significant increase in the prevalence of IgA gliadin antibody, and to a lesser extent IgA endomysial antibody, with increasing age. Conclusion-The high prevalence of these positive antibodies suggests that coeliac disease may be relatively common in Northern Ireland.

Record high numbers of presenting companies at major Scandinavian investor meeting arranged by SwedenBIO
Press release • Mar 16, 2012 15:00 EDT
Life Science Investment Day Scandinavia is one of the biggest investment events in life science. This year, over 45 presenting companies will be seeking contacts for sales, in-and out-licensing and partnerships with investors from Europe, the US, China and Japan. Between 300 and 400 people are expected to visit the event, organized by industry association SwedenBIO in affiliation with partners such as Gold Partner Bird & Bird.
"I was pleasantly surprised to see quite few new companies (does not happen all the time at conferences these days) so definitely worth the trip for me. Also just wanted to compliment you on a very professional organization," says Roel Bulthuis, Head of Merck Serono Ventures.
"Life Science Investment Day Scandinavia is the most important recurring business-oriented life science meeting in Sweden, "says Kancera CEO Thomas Olin, who will present the company's strategy and cancer drug discovery projects at the event. "Having an international meeting on our own territory is extremely important to visualize the quality and breadth of Scandinavian research and development. It is one of the few meetings in Scandinavia where we can attract a critical mass of investors and corporations."
Sweden – despite its size – is one of the world's most innovative countries. A number of Swedish biotech companies are now looking to commercialize their projects, to take the next step towards growth and profitability. Meanwhile, larger companies, while cutting back on internal research, are increasingly dependent on external innovation and collaboration. Globally, the business climate within the industry is undergoing a shift, opening the door to new business models in which companies deliver prototypes or ready-to-market drugs, in line with each company's own direction and ability to find funding.
"We know that meetings such as Life Science Investment Day Scandinavia enable the very survival of several companies," says SwedenBIO's head of business development and finance Jonas Ekstrand, who organizes the event. "Our aim is to have a new Pharmacia and Astra, so points of contact such as this event are one of many ways for us to help."
In addition to the companies presenting, the event program features international speakers such as Grace Chen from Bird & Bird, who will speak about the Chinese market, Nigel Whittle from UK Trade & Investment on the UK's life sciences strategy, and Piyush Unalkat from the European Investment Fund, who will discuss venture capital for entrepreneurs and innovators.
"Sweden is a prestigious country in life science," says SwedenBIO CEO Johan Järte, "and we envisage significant interest in us from global companies. For our members to have the best environment to develop and remain in Sweden requires cooperation on all fronts: regionally and internationally, between different professional categories and cross-industry alliances."
Now in its seventh year, this is the first time Life Science Investment Day Scandinavia is being held outside Stockholm, hosted by the city of Malmö. The presenting companies come from Sweden, Denmark, Norway and Finland.
Life Science Investment Day Scandinavia will take place at the Hilton Malmo City, on 27 March 8.00 am - 5.15 pm.

Ventilation tubes are tiny plastic tubes that are surgically inserted through the eardrum by an ear, nose, and throat surgeon. They also may be called tympanostomy tubes, myringotomy tubes, ventilation tubes, or PE (pressure equalization) tubes. Ventilation tubes drain fluid out of the middle ear space and let air in.
The eardrum normally vibrates with sound because the space behind it (the middle ear) is filled with air. If the middle ear is filled with fluid, as occurs during an ear infection, hearing is muffled.
Sometimes after an ear is no longer infected, fluid remains in the ear. This occurs if the eustachian tube, which runs from the back of the nose to the middle ear, becomes blocked and no longer allows air in and fluid out.
Approximately 30% of children still have fluid in the middle ear 1 month after an ear infection. 20% still have fluid 2 months, 10% at 3 months, and 5% have fluid 4 months after the infection. Fluid is especially likely to stay in the ear if the first infection occurs before a child is 6 months old. By the time a child is 5 years old, the eustachian tube is wider, and fluid usually doesn't stay long after ear infections are treated.
The main concern about having fluid in the middle ear for a long time is that it temporarily affects the child's speech and hearing AND makes him prone to recurrent ear infections.
Ventilation tubes allow fluid to drain out of the middle ear space and allow air to reenter. Putting in ear tubes may:
A few children with ventilation tubes continue to have ear infections with drainage and pain. However, these bouts of infection that require antibiotics probably would have occurred without the tubes.
Normally the tubes come out and fall into the ear canal after about a year. Complications may occur when the tubes come out. Sometimes they come out too quickly and need to be replaced by another set. Rarely, they fall into the middle ear space and need to be removed by the surgeon. If the tubes remain in the eardrum for over 2 years, the surgeon may need to remove them.
After the tubes come out, they may leave scars on the eardrum or a small hole (perforation) that doesn't heal. Both of these problems can cause a small hearing loss.
Because of these possible complications and the need to give anesthesia to young children before the operation, physicians recommend ventilation tubes only for children who really need them.
The surgical placement of ventilation tubes is usually recommended for middle ear fluid if your child has the following conditions:
Ventilation tube placement is also recommended for severe ear infections such as:
Most children have only temporary hearing loss because of fluid in their middle ears. When you talk to your child during this time of temporary hearing loss, get close to him, seek eye contact, get his full attention, and occasionally check that he understands what you have said. If your child is not hearing you well, speak in a louder voice than you normally use. A common mistake is to assume your child is ignoring you when actually he doesn't hear you. Reduce background noise from radio or television while you talk with your child.
If your child goes to school, make sure that he sits near the teacher. (Fluid in the middle ear makes it difficult to hear in a crowd or classroom).
After ventilation tube surgery, the hearing loss caused by fluid in the middle ear is cleared up right away. Sometimes children even complain that normal sounds seem too loud. Keep in mind that most children's speech development will catch up after a brief period of partial hearing.
Chronic ear fluid and recurrent ear infections are usually caused by a blocked eustachian tube. However, there are other things you can do to help:
Treat or eliminate these factors before you consider ventilation tubes.

I love bromances, but you know what's weird? The term is never really applied to actual brothers. It's like the romance aspect (usually only applied to two people who AREN'T siblings) overshadows the fact that you're referring to the two dudes as brothers. But...I feel like using the term. So shut up.
Damon and Stefan are fun. When you're a couple hundred years old, there's a lot of time for backstabbing and hurt feelings. This season has been especially fun because the brothers have exchanged roles. Stefan is now the evil one and Damon is now Elena's faithful protector. For those of us who love to see Damon tortured by Elena's feelings for Stefan, it's been amusing. Plus, protector Damon isn't a puppy dog like Stefan. He's still got some bite left in him.
|Arf arf?
But back to the bromance. Last week, Damon and Stefan went on a man date. They shared drinks, they shared the other kind of drinks, Stefan saved Damon's life, and then Damon kicked the crap out of Stefan. Good times.

I went on a journey to vietnam, and i prepared for it in months, made sure i had my tickets, made sure i have my passport, made sure i had enough money with me, and then i went on the journey.
Today i've come to an internet cafe in my city, and what i did is i picked up my motorbike and i came. That was all that i need to prepare.
If i had prepare vice versa, just picked up something and jumped on the plane to vietnam, you would have thought, "this guy is crazy". If i had prepare for 2 weeks for my journey to internet cafe today, you would've said, "this guy got his priorities upside down, he is only going for a talk and his coming straight back".
Now let us ask ourselfs question: how long are we going to live in this dunya? and how long are we gonna live in the hereafter? we prepare for the dunya according to the amount of time that we going to live in this dunya, and we prepare for our journey in the hereafter according to the time that we are going to live in the hereafter.
Umar ibn khattab r.a once said: "i looked into the matter of the dunya, and i looked into the matter of hereafter, and i realise that if i engaged myself in the dunya, then that will be detrimental to my hereafter. and if i engaged to the hereafter i would have to give up some dunya. so i gave preference to that which is eternal, everlasting, over that which was temporal."
Like i would be a fool, to prepare for 2 weeks for this journey to cafe, we also foolish to make this dunya our purpose, and forget our eternal journey to Allah.
Upon occasion Umar r.a came into a gathering of prophet Muhammad SAW, and umar looked around the house of the messenger, and he only saw a few provision, and then the messenger sat up from his mat, and the mat left imprints on the back of prophet muhammad, and umar began to cry. and the prophet said, "o umar, what are you crying for?". and umar said, "o messenger of Allah, have you not seen what pomp and what glory the kaiser and the kisra live in, the persian and the roman empire live in? you are the greatest of creation". and when umar said this the prophet sat upright and said "o umar, have you ever not understood that my example for this worldly life is that of a person who takes shade under a tree and he moves on".
That's what believers are like. That we live in this dunya temporal, for a short period of time. but what happens, we make our dunya our purpose and forget the hereafter. have you ever been to graveyard and have you seen how long people live for? have you ever seen the tombstones? what do they say? 1945-1980, 1950-1990 etc. you will realise that these people have spent more time under the ground than above it. still, what happens? we get impress by the 'now', the dunya, by ourselves. Everything makes us think that we are something special, although we forget that Allah created us from dust, and until dust we will return. and how can dust become horty? how can you proud when you are a dust? how can become you proud when you are made out of a piece of sperm?
I seek refuge of Allah from the deceptions of this worldly life. To Him, we will make our eternal journey.
