NEWS RELEASE 7/29/13: Portland Fire & Rescue Responds to Report of Explosions at NW Condo Building
At 2:19pm Portland Fire & Rescue crews were dispatched to the report of several explosions, fire and smoke coming from an upper floor of a seven story condo building at NW 9th and Hoyt. When crews arrived they found that the condo building was under renovation and had scaffolding wrapped in plastic covering one entire side of the building. Ladder Truck 3 raised it's aerial ladder to the affected section of the building while several additional crews took equipment directly to the seventh floor via an interior stairwell. When they arrived they found that several aerosolized cans of glue had apparently exploded punching holes in the exterior plastic covering the outside of the building. The explosions did not cause extensive damage. Investigators were being called to the scene to look at what may have ignited the cans. No injuries were reported.

Many people are concerned about devices that generate RF radiation, such as cell phones, but now looming as a possible health threat are the related cell towers and Wi-Fi antennas that broadcast the signals.
There is a growing body of evidence the concerns may be valid.
In 2004, a study was conducted in Germany titled "The Influence of Being Physically Near to a Cell Phone Transmission Mast on the Incidence of Cancer." The study was conducted on behalf of the president of the Bundesamt für Strahlenschutz, the German governmental department for protection against electromagnetic radiation.
Advertisement - story continues below
The research team, led by Horst Eger, conducted the study to determine whether people living close to cell phone antennas were exposed to a heightened risk of developing malignant tumors.
The independent research team studied the case histories of 1,000 patients between the years 1994 and 2004. The participants were then classified into groups: those living 100, 200, 300 and 400 meters from the cell phone base station and a control group living beyond 400 meters.
TRENDING: Impeachment for the wrong reasons
The peer-reviewed study found significant relationships between exposure levels and symptoms. The study concluded that "the proportion of newly developing cancer cases was significantly higher among those patients who had lived during the past 10 years at a distance of up to 400 meters (1,300 feet) from the cellular transmitter site, which has been in operation since 1993, compared to those patients living further away, and that the patients fell ill on average eight years earlier."

The study went on to conclude that between 1999-2004, after five years' operation of the transmitter, residents inside the 400-meter radius of a cell tower were three times more likely to develop cancer than those that lived outside of the evaluated transmission area.
Eger's study was not the only one that showed a correlation between health problems and RF radiation.
Another study by J.J. Santini and others with the INSA de Lyon engineering institute in Lyon, France, titled "Survey Study of People Living in the Vicinity of Cellular Phone Base Stations," offered other evidence of the link between cell tower transmissions and health problems.
The study theorized that chronic exposure to high frequency electric and magnetic field (EMF) radiation and microwaves can cause adverse health risks, including headaches, fatigue and memory loss.

It gives credence to the fact that the ''non specific health symptoms" (NSHS) reported by people close to cell phone towers are real. The study states that the increase in reported NSHS seems to agree with findings from a 1996 Australian report that indicated that at 200 meters from a base station, some people exposed in their homes are complaining of chronic fatigue and sleep disturbances.
The study also gives credence to a Spanish preliminary study from the University of València which showed that people living within 500 feet of cellular phone base stations experienced symptoms of irritability, headaches, nausea and sleep disturbances as compared to those that lived at a distance greater than 800 feet.
In the range of 600 to 900 feet, the Santini study indicated that the primary symptom exhibited was fatigue. The study also indicated that women experienced ill effects more often than men.
In December 2012, the American Academy of Pediatrics, the AAP, backed U.S. House Bill 6358, the Cell Phone Right to Know Act. The bill under consideration would "examine, label and communicate adverse human biological effects associated with exposure to electromagnetic fields from cell phones and other wireless devices."

The AAP, a non-profit professional organization of 60,000 pediatric physicians and health care professionals, is concerned that children are especially vulnerable to the effects of cell phone radiation. They believe that differences in bone density and the amount of fluid in a child's brain compared to an adult's brain make them more susceptible to RF energy deeper than adults.
The AAP has noted that the Federal Communications Commission has not revised its cell phone standards since 1996 and that the current standards are only based on the heat emitted by the phones. AAP members have raised the concern that that long-term RF energy exposure at current allowable levels may cause specific types of cancer, including glioma, tumors that start in the brain and spine, and meningioma, tumors in the central nervous systems.
In an interview with a Canadian press agency, Frank Clegg, the former president of Microsoft Canada, said the federal government has a duty to inform Canadians about safety concerns related to wireless technology.
"We have a responsibility as adults, as parents, as legislators to inform people so they can make intelligent decisions."
Clegg, an icon in Canada's technology sector, is now leading an organization called Citizens for Safe Technology. The organization is dedicated to disseminating information about communication technology, including cell towers, cellular phones and Wi-Fi.
Clegg believes that the Canadian government is not sharing enough information on the potential hazards of communication technology.
In 2011, the World Health Organization's International Agency for Research on Cancer determined that RF radiation is possibly carcinogenic. The agency cited mounting concerns about the use of wireless communication devices and noted that the number of mobile phone subscriptions has been estimated at 5 billion worldwide.
Electric and magnetic fields, or EMFs, are pervasive. While the human body is bombarded with them from natural sources as well as man-made ones, the body reacts differently to man-made sources.
There are recommended steps that can be taken to reduce exposure.
A good first step is to determine the location of cell towers through antennasearch.com.
To find out the amount of EMF radiation at a location, a qualified technician can be consulted or an EMF meter can be used. A good one can be obtained for approximately $100.
Cordless devices such as cell phones, cordless phones and wireless monitors all produce EMF. If one is concerned about EMF or has "electromagnetic sensitivity," limiting or avoiding the use of RF devices has been found to give relief.
Shielding an entire home is not feasible for most people. A survey of a home, however, can reveal any "hot spots" that could be shielded. What constitutes a high RF reading can be very subjective, but some sources suggest that a reading of 0.02V/m is a good threshold limit.
Some have found it helpful to remove any metals from beds, such as metal springs that may attack or amplify electromagnetic fields. Positioning a bed in such a way that the head is at least three to six feet away from electrical outlets also has been found to be helpful.
In addition, an EMF Faraday canopy can be installed over a bed. The canopy looks like a mosquito net, and it can be very effective, blocking 99 percent of the radiation. To increase protection for an entire room, a shielding paint can be applied to the walls. Some people looking for a very low cost solution have used aluminum foil secured with wallpaper paste.

Google is expanding its U.S. online shopping and delivery service, by making overnight deliveries of retail items available in six states in the Midwest.
Google Express, which lets customers shop for items, including dry foods, from a range of retailers, is already available in more than a half-dozen cities, including San Francisco, Chicago, Boston and Washington, D.C. It includes same-day and overnight delivery of products.
But Google is branching out. The delivery service, which encompasses a variety of products, is available now in parts of Wisconsin, Michigan, Illinois, Indiana, Ohio and Iowa.
Partner retailers include Ace Hardware, Costco, Kohl's, Toys "R" Us, Treasure Island Foods and Walgreens, Google said in a blog post on Tuesday.
Google will also start testing a new fresh-food grocery delivery service in San Francisco and another U.S. city later this year, according to BloombergBusiness. Google did not immediately respond to a request for comment.
With the expansions, Google is broadening its ambitions in delivery services to better compete against rivals like Amazon and Instacart. AmazonFresh provides same-day and early morning delivery of groceries and other local products in a handful of U.S. cities. And on Tuesday, Amazon announced a restaurant delivery service in Seattle.
In addition to the Midwest, Google's Express service offers overnight delivery of products in parts of Northern California. Those products can be delivered the next day or several days after they're bought. Deliveries are made on Saturdays but not Sundays.

The goal of this showcase is to demonstrate how organizations can take quick decisions based on data by leveraging drill down, role based security, custom visual capabilities of Power BI.
The showcase demonstrates the power of Power BI in Sales management scenario.
By employing role-based security, the level of visibility of charts and its data is controlled by user's role in the organization namely: Analyst, Regional Manager and Executive. With the help of the above features, the dashboard helps an organization to analyze the following scenarios: Pipeline reports, Sales Performance, Quota, Trends and Revenue Summary.
The Sales Management Analytics dashboard on this website utilizes the embedded capabilities of Power BI. Power BI Embedded helps to easily embed stunning, fully interactive reports right into web or mobile applications. This capability allows companies to share the Power BI dashboard with their customers and external partners.
The solution is categorized into 5 pages:
Pipeline report
· The pipeline report helps sales analysts focus on impactful insights such as strategy, development and planning. The information provided in the report benefits sales department manage sales funnel of opportunities or velocity by stage of sales cycle.
· In this report, the 3 dimensions of drill-down feature are demonstrated, namely: Time-based, Location based and Product based. The time and location based drill down capabilities is integral to Power BI platform. The product based drill down capability is dictated by hierarchy of data defined in the data model. The chart "Top 5 Opportunity value by account and product category" uses more compelling way to communicate the data to audience by incorporating custom visuals to represent the data and focus on top customers. The entire report is tied to the type of user and role. Since role-based security is enabled, the level of visibility changes for an Analyst, Regional Manager and Executive.
Sales Performance
· Sales performance report provides an increased visibility and operational insight into sales actuals, variances, and forecasts. Sales performance across various regions and countries can be viewed.
· Drill down feature is also used here for the chart "Average discount by category" where data can be drilled up or down based on the product category and employee. The cards actual margin % and target margin %, Variance to Target Sales chart shows countries that perform well and countries that have a low variance. The other charts provide data to view actuals vs. plan across country, product line, channel, customer segment in a single view.
· Quota report focuses on information to view quotas, market size, opportunities, and demographics to discover more insights and make more informed decisions.
· Drill down feature and Role-based security are implemented in this report. The cards on the report show Total account owners, Account owners on target, Account owners not on target, Average quota ($) and Average sales ($) which help get a better understanding of the team's performance. Other charts provide data such as: Sales vs Quota, Variance to quota by account owner and a map chart that shows countries not meeting the quota.
· Trends report targets to improve forecasting quality & move from hindsight to insight, to improve visibility across the team to validate sales KPIs and trends and the underlying story.
· With Power BI, the team could stay on top of change, find out how efficient the team performs. The cards show values of revenue for current year vs last year, the other charts depict weeks to close which is how long it takes for an opportunity to close, revenue by month, top rankings and accounts and target revenue by country and account owner.
Revenue Summary
· The revenue summary helps track key metrics for planning based on revenue by top products, account types, account owners and date.

210.70(A)(1) Lighting Outlets Required Lighting outlet requirements are covered in the last section of Article 210. Branch circuits supplying lighting outlets must be installed in accordance with the provisions in 210.70(A) through (C). While this section contains requirements for guest rooms and non-dwelling units, the majority of the provisions pertain to dwelling units. The first subsection is not limited to one-family dwellings. Lighting outlets in one-family, two-family and multifamily dwellings must be installed in accordance with these provisions. The main rule in 210.70(A)(1) requires at least one wall switch-controlled lighting outlet in every habitable room and bathroom of dwelling units. This provision contains two exceptions. This month's In Focus continues with a discussion of the first exception.
Other than in kitchens and bathrooms, one or more receptacles controlled by a wall switch may be installed in lieu of lighting outlets [210.70(A)(1) Exception No. 1]. While switched receptacles cannot take the place of lighting outlets in kitchens, they can in dining rooms (and breakfast areas), if meeting the requirement in 210.52(B)(1) Exception No. 1. This exception states that switched receptacles, supplied from a general-purpose branch circuit, can be installed if they are in addition to the required receptacles specified in 210.52.
Since switched receptacles must be fed from general-purpose branch circuits, they cannot be supplied from small-appliance branch circuits. For example, a wall-switch-controlled receptacle will be installed in the dining room instead of a lighting outlet. If the switched receptacle is supplied by a small-appliance branch circuit, it violates the provision in 210.52(B)(1) Exception No. 1. (See Figure 1.) If the switch-controlled receptacle is supplied from a general-purpose branch circuit, and is in addition to the required receptacles specified in 210.52, it shall be permitted in lieu of a lighting outlet. For example, a wall switch-controlled receptacle will be installed in the dining room instead of a lighting outlet. The switched receptacle will be supplied from a 20A general-purpose branch circuit. All other dining-room receptacles will be supplied from a small-appliance branch circuit. This switched receptacle is in addition to the required receptacle. This installation is permitted and therefore no lighting outlet is required (See Figure 2). While it is rare to see switched receptacles in breakfast rooms, pantries and similar areas, they are permitted. The second exception to 210.70(A)(1) pertains to occupancy sensors. Occupancy sensors are permitted to control lighting outlets if meeting one of the two following requirements: 1) a regular wall switch is installed in addition to the occupancy sensor, or 2) the occupancy sensor is located at a customary wall switch location and is equipped with a manual override. The manual override must allow the sensor to function as a wall switch [210.70(A)(1) Exception No. 2].
Different types of occupancy sensors are available, including ceiling- and wall-mounted. If mounted on the ceiling (or high above the floor on the wall), a regular wall switch must be installed in addition to the occupancy sensor. For example, a ceiling-mounted occupancy sensor will be installed in a home office. This sensor is permitted to control the lighting outlet provided it is in addition to the regular wall switch (See Figure 3).
If the occupancy sensor is equipped with a manual override allowing it to operate as a wall switch, it can be installed as a replacement for the wall switch. This type of sensor must be located at a customary wall switch location. For example, homeowners want an occupancy sensor installed in their home office. The sensor (equipped with a manual override) will replace the existing single-pole wall switch. The occupancy sensor is permitted as a replacement for the switch because it also functions as a wall switch (See Figure 4). Occupancy sensors must be effectively grounded in accordance with 404.9(B).
A wall switch-controlled lighting outlet must also be installed in each dwelling bathroom [210.70(A)(1)]. As with kitchens, switched receptacles cannot be installed in lieu of lighting outlets in bathrooms. A bathroom, as defined in Article 100, is an area including a basin (sink or lavatory) with one or more of the following: a toilet, a tub or a shower. The lighting outlet can be wall mounted, ceiling mounted, or any combination thereof (See Figure 5).
Luminaires (lighting fixtures), lampholders, pendants, etc. must meet the provisions in Article 410. Luminaires in bathtub and shower areas of bathrooms must be installed in accordance with the requirements 410.4(D). Note: This specification pertains to all occupancies, not just dwellings. Cord-connected luminaires, hanging luminaires, track lighting, pendants and ceiling-suspended (paddle) fans are not permitted in the bathtub or shower zone. The bathtub and shower zone measures 3 feet (900mm) horizontally and 8 feet (2.5m) vertically from the top of the bathtub rim or shower stall threshold. This zone is all encompassing and includes the area directly over the tub or shower stall (See Figure 6).
While certain luminaires cannot be located within the bathtub or shower zone, they can be located above the zone. The designated zone includes the area all around the bathtub and shower, not just one or two sides. For example, a sunken bathtub is located in the center of a large bathroom. The height of the cathedral ceiling, at the highest point, is 10 feet above the floor. The designated zone extends 3 feet (900 mm) horizontally in all directions from the bathtub. This zone rises to a height of 8 feet (2.5 m) above the bathtub rim and includes the area directly over the tub in the center of the room. The homeowners want a pendant fixture installed in the center of the room over the tub. They also want track lighting installed on the ceiling within a few feet of the pendant fixture. Although it is over the tub, if no part of the pendant fixture is within the bathtub zone, it can be installed above the bathtub. The same holds true for the track lights. In this example, the lighting track (and fixture heads) to the left are not within the bathtub zone. Therefore, the track lights to the left are permitted. The lighting track (and fixture heads) to the right are within the bathtub zone, and therefore are not permitted. If any part of cord-connected luminaires, hanging luminaires, track lighting, pendants, or ceiling-suspended (paddle) fans enters a bathtub or shower zone, the installation is in violation of 410.4(D) (See Figure 7).
Not all luminaires are prohibited from being installed within the bathtub or shower zone. Some that are permitted within the designated zone include: surface-mounted luminaires, recessed luminaires, and exhaust fans (See Figure 8). Exposed non-current-carrying metal parts must be grounded in accordance with 250.110.
Next month's In Focus will continue discussion of required lighting outlets in dwelling units 210.70(A)(2). EC

A Chicago man is accused of slamming his mother's head into a sidewalk after she tried to grab his car keys in an attempt to keep him from driving while intoxicated.
Prosecutors say 30-year-old Jesus Quinones Jr. of the Logan Square neighborhood attacked his 72-year-old mother around 2:45 a.m. Saturday.
The Chicago Sun-Times reports that a neighbor witnessed the attack and phoned police.
According to an arrest report, the woman was found on a porch with blood on her face. The report says her son was in the backyard and was combative with officers.
The woman was treated at a hospital for bruises and cuts to her face.
A judge ordered Quinones held in lieu of $250,000 bail.
It was not immediately clear the man already had a lawyer.

Two unsuspected proteins may hold the key to creating artificial chromosomes
Whitehead Institute scientists report that two proteins once thought to have only supporting roles, are the true "stars" of the kinetochore assembly process in human cells.
The kinetochore is vital to proper DNA distribution during cell division. This finding suggests that scientists may be able to stimulate kinetochore assembly in a process that could lead to new genetic research tools, such as efficient creation of artificial human chromosomes.
"When you understand a process really well, then it can become a tool. And I think this is a nice example of that," says Whitehead Member Iain Cheeseman. "We now fundamentally understand something about the way kinetochore specification and assembly works. And because we understand that, now one could imagine it being used as a tool."
For many years scientists have understood the kinetochore's role in cell division but did not know how its individual parts came together during this process. At the beginning of cell division, the kinetochore consists of a few proteins associated with a chromosome's centromere, which is the section where the arms of an X-shaped chromosome join. As cell division progresses, additional kinetochore proteins attach at the centromere, ultimately forming a complete kinetochore complex consisting of about 100 proteins. At this point, one kinetochore is partially integrated into each lengthwise half of the chromosome, called a sister chromatid; a chromosome's sister chromatids are identical copies of the same piece of DNA.
To distribute the sister chromatids between the two future cells, long protein filaments from opposite sides of the cell reach out, latch onto the chromatids' kinetochores, and begin pulling on them until the sister chromatids split apart. Then, the chromatids are dragged to opposite sides of the cell, ensuring that the future cells will each have a copy of this piece of DNA.
To identify which proteins are necessary for a kinetochore to self-assemble, Karen Gascoigne, a postdoctoral researcher in the Cheeseman lab, positioned three of them on the chromatids' DNA and away from their normal location on the centromere. By moving the proteins away from their normal position, Gascoigne isolated the effects of each protein from potential interactions with the centromere and highlighted the capabilities attributable only to that protein.
The first protein, called CENP-A, is essential for identifying where the kinetochore should locate, and many scientists thought it was vital to kinetochore assembly. However, when Gascoigne moved CENP-A away from the centromere, only a few kinetochore components were recruited to attach onto CENP-A, showing that this protein is not responsible for assembling an entire kinetochore.
When Gascoigne moved the proteins CENP-C and CENP-T away from the centromere, the two proteins attracted almost all of the kinetochore proteins to their location and fostered assembly of a makeshift kinetochore capable of separating sister chromatids.
"So that tells us that these two proteins are essential and sufficient to build the kinetochore even in the absence of CENP-A," says Gascoigne, who reports her findings in the April 29 issue of Cell. "Which is unexpected and very exciting. This tells us a lot about how kinetochores are put together in the cell."
This new ability to form a kinetochore anywhere on DNA may be particularly useful for creating artificial human chromosomes. These collections of genes could be used in research to insert new genes into a cell. Currently, scientists insert genes by infecting cells with a virus that haphazardly inserts the DNA into the cells' genomes, a process that can corrupt essential genes and possibly kill cells.
Artificial chromosomes circumvent this potential damage. But their widespread use is thwarted by scientists' current inability to outfit artificial chromosomes with kinetochores. Without kinetochore complexes for those long protein filaments to latch onto during cell division, the artificial chromosomes cannot be passed from the original cells to subsequent generations, meaning that the artificial chromosomes' traits are lost.
By perfecting kinetochore assembly using just CENP-C and CENP-T, Gascoigne is working to overcome this shortcoming in artificial human chromosomes.
"We're interested to see if you can bypass having a centromere by putting in just these two proteins into the artificial chromosome," says Gascoigne. "And then the cell would build the kinetochore itself, which will allow the artificial chromosome to segregate during cell division."

Specialty foods like cheese and eggs and flavored butters are back. I looked for familiar vendors from last year, but I didn't find all of the ones I was used to buying from. The blueberry ladies weren't there. I looked for the stand that sold green and yellow beans and heirloom tomatoes and didn't find it. Now they might have been there, but since the booths were rearranged, I might not have seen them.
I liked the rustic feeling of the old Farmer's Market, but there wasn't enough parking and the attendance fell off after the first few weeks. There are more vendors at this new location and more variety. It's more centrally located, so I hope it catches on.
Our Safe-Cat booth isn't there now. Safe-Cat did well at the farm. Donations were good and adoptions were regular. We had a nice location under a big tree next to the sheep barn, but it could get very windy where we were and it was muddy when it rained. We wouldn't have those problems in Bishop Ranch.
I contacted Market Manager, Harve Singh, about finding a spot for Safe-Cat away from the food booths, but he said he didn't have any space. I hope some space frees up in June when kitten season starts, but I'm not sure if our President, Elise Stewart, even wants to put our Safe-Cat booth in the parking lot.
I plan to go back again next week and spend a little more time. I need to get my diet back under control, and this was a good opportunity to buy plenty of fresh and nutritious fruits and veggies.

Japan vs. Sweden 2-8 (0-3, 1-2, 1-3)
In the first game of Day Three in the IIHF Twelve Nations Invitational Series Tournament, Erika Holst played her 300th national team game as Sweden faced Japan. The game ended 8-2 in favour of the "damkronor". Holst was presented with a commemorative jersey before the game with the number 300 on the back.Sweden started the game strongly and took control of the game early in the first period. The strong start of Team Sweden forced Japan to take penalties against the quicker Swedish players. Sweden took advantage of their power plays, scoring three out of as many power plays early into the game.In the second period Sweden came out a little slower, allowing the Japanese to get several quality scoring chances. Although the Swedes scored first, Japan was able to register their first goal of the tournament. Sweden was able to gradually improve its performance, so the period ended with a 5-1 lead.Again Sweden came out a little slow in the third, and Japan took advantage by scoring its second goal. The Swedes reacted with unanswered goals (including one from Erika Holst), ending the game 2-8.Best players:Sweden: Pernilla WinbergJapan: Fuka IshiuraSaves:Sweden / Grahn 5+6+6= 17Japan / Nakaoku 19+19+16= 54

Embrace the debate, you guys! Here's a painfully awkward clip from today's edition of First Take in which Seattle Seahawks cornerback Richard Sherman, who is not afraid to speak his mind, has some very unkind things to say about resident ESPN troll Skip Bayless.
Bayless continually tries to bait Sherman into expounding on his rivalry with Darelle Revis, but Sherman chooses to ignore those questions in favor of lobbing personal attacks at Bayless. "I'm gonna crush you on here, in front of everybody," says Sherman after referring to Bayless as "ignorant, pompous, and egotistical."
There's usually nothing to be learned from a troll-off like this, but towards the end of the clip there is a moment in which Bayless neatly crystallizes everything that is wrong with his brand of punditry. When Sherman tells Bayless that he loses credibility by claiming that Sherman's abilities are not in the same league as Revis's—which is a good point—Bayless replies simply, "No I don't. I gain it!"

Both regional and cross country traveling positions are available.

Due to our continued growth, we are looking to hire Traveling Emergency Veterinarians to join our SpecialtyER team.
Scheduling will consist of 12 shifts per month, most likely rotating.

Many people say that heels are a girl's best friend….well believe it or not, they now can be a guy's best friend too. Men's heels are suddenly rising into fashion, and popular stars have been caught wearing these high-heeled hits. Popular music artists such as Harry Styles and Justin Bieber have been seen wearing sturdy, yet high-heeled shoes. Although these shoes may not be frilly, six-inch stilettos, the heel height is definitely dramatic and bold enough to demand attention. So, what kind of fashion statement are Styles and Bieber trying to make?
Bieber and Styles aren't the only fashion rebellions in the shoe world. Recently, an Easter photo was posted on Instagram of the West-Kardashian family, and West's shoes seemed to be the star of the image. They certainly were not his iconic Yeezy's, but rather a more posh approach to the traditional boot: a suede boot with a block heel. During the Givenchy Fall runway show in 2015, West wore velvet-heeled boots and received intense criticism.
Despite the backlash, high heel shoes for men are resurfacing. In modern fashion especially, there are strict social norms and arbitrary gender rules about what can be worn and by whom. This is why men have shied away from handbags for so long before practical, work bags became a trend. (Read: https://www.pursebop.com/men-love-handbags/) Even though high heels have been labeled as a feminine shoe wear nowadays, it didn't always use to be this way. In the 16th century in France, mainly aristocratic men sported high heels as a way to signify their status. After this moment in history, high heels began to trickle down to the lower class and eventually began to be worn by women as an everyday staple.
As more famous celebrities rock high heels, the dynamics may change and the male heel trend could become a fashion norm. In recent fashion shows during Fall of 2016 and 2017, designers like Hood by Air and Maison the Faux dressed their male models in heels, which is big progress for the cause. Men's fashion during the modern era has been constricted to very basic silhouettes for the sake of preserving "masculinity". Perhaps, designers will modify their men's shoe collections to allow for more experimentation and expression. It seems like equality in the fashion world is slowly, but surely advancing!

text: Three new malicious programs are hitting certain mobile phones, anti-virus companies have warned. The Trojan horses, or programs that are disguised as legitimate applications, spread via Bluetooth or multimedia messages and can affect phones running the Symbian operating system.The infection rate so far from the new malware is low, Symantec Corp. reported in threat warnings issued last week.The Bootton.E Trojan horse was spotted last week by F-Secure Corp. and Symantec and is perhaps the most potentially crippling of the three to those infected. The program restarts the mobile device but it also releases corrupted components that cause the reboot to fail, leaving the device unusable.The Pbstealer.D Trojan sends an infected user\u2019s contact list, notepad and calendar to-do list to other nearby users via Bluetooth. The third Trojan, Sendtool.A, sends malicious programs such as the Pbstealer Trojan to other devices via Bluetooth.Symantec and F-Secure both admit that these Trojans are unlikely to spread very widely. "They don\u2019t spread quickly because they\u2019re not purely autonomous," said Ollie Whitehause, a researcher with Symantec. Unlike worms on computers that spread without users knowing, the Trojan horses hitting cell phones spread as attachments that require users to download them.So far, worms haven\u2019t hit mobile phones but it\u2019s very likely that people who write viruses are working on them, said Anton Von Trover, marketing manager for F-Secure.Because current threats are caused by what David Wood, executive vice president of research at Symbian Ltd., calls user weakness, anti-virus software for mobile devices isn\u2019t necessary. "Unlike the case on desktop PCs where you need to have a firewall and antivirus software and you have to keep them up to date, that\u2019s not necessary on phones," said Wood.But with the looming threat of vulnerabilities being found by malicious code writers, enterprises should do a better job preparing for the future, said Rob Bamforth, an analyst with Quocirca Ltd. His research shows that enterprises are much more lax about securing mobile handheld devices than laptops.He advises enterprises to create a policy around securing such devices. Currently, that policy might not include anti-virus software because the incidence of viruses seems to be low. "But there will be a problem so they have to take the issue seriously while not necessarily taking every announcement seriously," Bamforth said. He cautions that historically, most reports of viruses on handheld devices have come from anti-virus software firms and not end users, an indication that infection rates are probably quite low.By Nancy Gohring - IDG News Service (Dublin Bureau)

I wonder how the EU (with which Serbia is negotiating membership) will look into the abolishment of visas. Chinese can travel to very few countries in the world without visas (they can't even travel to their own territory, Hong Kong), and yet, a country in Central Europe, so near the borders of the EU is letting them in...

Why not? Serbia is not as close to the EU yet. First there is a need to recognize independent Kosovo. Not true quite many countries especially in Asia are visa free for Chinese.Delete
USA citizen can easily get multiple visas valid for more years to travel to China. 2. Chinese government is not encouraging visa free travel for Chinese unless it's a pure business destination e.g. Belarus. Chinese need an ,exit visa, sometimes is hard for them but with money all can be done quickly and easily.By the waySerbia is not in central Europe. Abolishment of visas will be mutual. well done Serbia cool for businesses and probably tourist too. Serbia is following the usa facilitations strategy!

Air business is not a zero sum game. There is significant growth each year all around the world. Every year the market is bigger and bigger. The growth of one company does not automatically mean the decrease of the competition, as many here so readily assume.ReplyDelete
Also, the market is not static. It is changing constantly and you need to adjust. Just compare it 10, or 20, or 30 years ago with the situation now. So many old big players are not around any more and so many new small, medium and big players. According to some commenters, this would never be possible, because the company X or Y is so important at this moment. Well...

They can use their current metal to serve PEK 2x weekly. They don't need another 332.Delete
- Anonymous18:18
2 per week is not sufficient and not sustainable plus the 1 332 they currently operate needs time off for possible maintanence.Besides, they said that there will be 2 332's joining the fleet by the end of 2016 if I remember correctly.The second one will probably arrive some time next year before PEK startsDelete

Tomorrow LH is sending A380 to SOF for a promotional flight. I'm going there to see it. Will make a short brief after I return.ReplyDelete

Naravno najbolje resenje je da ASL obavlja te letove sa A332 sto ce doci .ReplyDelete
Ako se bude islo na oba dve Destinacije moze se leteti ja mislim 3pw PEK i 3pw PVG sto bi bilo i najbolje resenje.
A takodje treba se razmisljati o uvodjenju RJ flote posto su odlicni primeri za uspeh sa tom Strategijom LO i AY.I naravno to bi oslobodilo A319 koji bi se mogli slati na neke druge destinacije poput IKA.

I flew from Belgrade to Beijing on Saturday Sep,24th, via Rome. There were 7 passenger besides me. I know that there were on the same day 6 passenger via Berlin (Air Berlin), and some using Aeroflot and Etihad. At least 25 which I know. And not in the high season. With some project like TE DRMNO, highways (Obrenovac-Lakovac, ring road around Belgrade, Montenegrin highway), some new project like Belgrade-Budapest high speed railway) the demand for this flight will increase, particularly business travelers. Having in mind that Chinese will become the the biggest tourist nation (Serbia need only 0.1% of their foreign visits), it can be reachable at least 4 times per week service. My prediction is that China Southern will be interesting in this leg too.ReplyDeleteReplies

How long is the flight from Roma? I to think there is demand for BEG-PEK route. Plus add to that people from the Balkans and demand goes up.Delete
- zoran19:43
It was exactly 10 hours. I flew with Al Italia and was pleasantly surprise (only 45 min transfer time in Rome, no lost baggage). I came back with Etihad (stop in Abu Dhabi) 9+6 hours flights, and Etihad service was worse than Al Italia.Delete

Respected Swedish suspension manufacturer Öhlins has chosen the 2011 Autosport International Show in Birmingham to launch two exciting new Motorsport products that have been directly derived from its on-event testing and development programme.
The first release is the TTR40 – a 4-way fully independent adjustable aluminium damper based on well-proven technology. Winning technology that has been behind countless successes over many seasons with factory teams across numerous genres, including IndyCar, Le Mans and DTM. This bespoke racing damper is now available for teams seeking optimal performance and on-track success.
In addition to light weight, (just 975 grams without the spring fitted) features include a precise valving system that allows both high and low speed damping to be zeroed externally to ensure an accurate synchronisation between dampers, while at the same time maintaining discernable reference clicks. The TTR40 unit combines top performance with user-friendly handling. For example, valving can be changed on-event in around one minute. The unit also comes complete with valving simulation software, drastically reducing development time from conception to race-ready damper, whilst also allowing engineers to make infinite, graduated adjustments during testing, set-up or racing.
The second product release at ASI is the Mini S2000 damper. Developed in cooperation with the well-known Banbury based Prodrive concern, the S2000 dampers build on the firm foundations that the two companies have enjoyed since developing the Subaru Group N programme that proved to be so succesful.
This cooperation has intensified with the Mini project and the design of this Macpherson strut is the end result of much hard work and research. The damper is based around the successful patented TPX 44 concept. The twin piston design gives unique cavitation and damping force control along with its unique temperature compensation system, it minimises any risk of damper fade – even when subjected to the highest temperatures and biggest impacts. The TPX 44 also features a 2 way compression adjuster and 1 way rebound adjuster which are completely independent of each other, for the ultimate in adjustability.
The damper also features a dynamic rebound control valve which reduces the rebound damping force and improves grip without sacrificing chassis stability. The effective hydraulic bump stop is standard on a TPX 44 and reduces the risk of bottoming out after a heavy landing or when travelling over harsh terrain. Its function and set-up is optimised for the car and cleverly, only gives additional damping when necessary.
With both development teams working closely together, Öhlins and Prodrive have come up with a strut that is both stiff and strong, whilst being exceptionally light and durable. A significant weight reduction for the complete strut has been achieved through careful design of the unit as a whole which reduces the unsprung mass and thereby improves grip.
Since roller bearings have been banned under the 2011 regs, significant research has gone into the bushing system to reduce the friction levels. Surface treatments, surface structures, materials and lubrication methods have all been evaluated and optimised – with the resultant technology being utilised in this superb design.

Canadian government cuts pollution research that's crucial in the U.S.
To reach Lake 658, you leave the Trans-Canada Highway in the moose-ridden backwoods of western Ontario, creep down a teeth-jarring gravel road, follow a trail to a different lake, hop onto a motorboat and then take a short hike to 658's granite shoreline. The water is crystal-clear, and yet a sign warns: "Attention -- Fishing is Prohibited in the Lake." This area is far from any source of industrial pollution, but angling would disrupt an unusual long-running study of pollution.
For years, scientists deliberately contaminated Lake 658 with toxic mercury to track its travels through the ecosystem. Lake 658 is part of the Experimental Lakes Area, or ELA, an open-air laboratory that includes 57 other small lakes. Started in 1968, and run by a Canadian federal agency, the Department of Fisheries and Oceans Canada, the ELA is also used by U.S. scientists. And ELA research has helped shape U.S. federal environmental laws as well as Western state and county regulations.
The experiments are bold and unusual, because they have to be: You can't stuff an entire lake into a test tube. From 1969 to 1976, researchers added combinations of nitrogen, phosphorus and other nutrients to seven lakes, and verified that phosphorus causes algae blooms and biodiversity loss. That knowledge persuaded policy-makers to phase out phosphates in laundry detergents, and helped spur legislatures in states such as Montana, Utah, Washington and Oregon to limit phosphates in dishwasher detergents. It also aided grassroots campaigns discouraging the use of phosphorus lawn fertilizers around Montana's Flathead Lake and California's Lake Tahoe.
From the 1970s to the 1990s, ELA researchers conducted "the first whole-ecosystem" study of acid rain by adding sulfur to lakes. Their discovery that even small shifts in acidification kill fish led Congress to pass the 1990 Clean Air Act amendments, which established a regulatory system for reducing sulfur emissions from coal-fired power plants. The ELA has also been used to study hormone-disruptors, like the synthetic estrogen in birth-control pills, which ends up in rivers and lakes.
When U.S. Environmental Protection Agency researchers grew concerned about mercury emissions from coal plants, the ELA was the only place they could add a potent neurotoxin to an entire lake. The Mercury Experiment To Assess Atmospheric Loading in Canada and the United States, or METAALICUS study, began in 1999. As it proceeded, a Canadian pilot sprayed a mist of one mercury isotope over the treetops. U.S. Geological Survey scientists in protective suits sprayed another mercury isotope over a mossy wetland, and researchers in a boat added a teaspoon of yet another directly to the lake. They're still tracing how each isotope cycles through the ecosystem. Within two months, for instance, mercury added to the lake's surface was measurable in fish. The findings unequivocally linked atmospheric depositions of mercury to the appearance of the toxin in fish, and helped inspire health advisories and the EPA's 2011 toughening of mercury standards.
But Canada's Prime Minister Stephen Harper, a Conservative Party leader and supporter of mining and other industries, is undermining every environmental regulation he can get his hands on. Harper's Department of Fisheries said last May that the entire Canadian federal funding for the ELA would be cut -- roughly $2 million, just a tiny fraction of the $275 billion total federal budget. Researchers who use the ELA often have separate funding from grants and other agency budgets, but the federal funding pays for staff salaries and equipment that keep the $13 million infrastructure going.
Harper administration officials have issued mixed messages, saying that the ELA will be shut down by March 2013, but that some of its research might shift to other locations. There's also a chance that an as-yet-unidentified "private operator" might take it over. The short timeframe and the liability involved in assuming responsibility for the pollution have convinced many researchers that the cut is a death sentence for the ELA's ongoing studies and its long-term ecological record. Hundreds of scientists in white lab coats protested in front of Canada's Parliament in July. Mimicking a funeral procession, they carried signs that said "The Death of Evidence."
"Those whole ecosystem demonstrations are a really powerful way to test something that industry often questions," says Cynthia Gilmour, a mercury researcher at the Smithsonian Environmental Research Center. "It's hard to argue against clear evidence like that."
"We have a government that's afraid that too much research might find something that would interfere with their develop-as-rapidly-as-possible plan," says David Schindler, who won the inaugural Stockholm Water Prize (the Nobel of freshwater science) for his ELA research. "It's a general disregard for environmental science." Peter Andrey Smith

Studies have indicated that in people who suffer from major depression have overstated inflammatory responses to psychological stress as compared to those who do not suffer from depression.
The researchers at Emory University School of Medicine, had stated in their findings that just as an overactive inflammatory response might contribute to a number of medical disorders as well as to depression, the increased inflammatory responses to stress in depressed patients might also act as a link between depression and other diseases, including heart disease, as well as contributing to depression itself.
Results of the study, led by Andrew Miller, MD, and Christine Heim, PhD, of Emory's Department of Psychiatry and Behavioural Sciences, are published in the Sept. 1 issue of the American Journal of Psychiatry.
The study included 28 medically healthy male participants, half of whom were diagnosed with major depression and half of whom were not depressed. The participants were exposed to two moderately stressful situations during a 20-minute time period. Blood was collected every 15 minutes starting immediately before and then up to an hour and a half after the test to check for key indicators of inflammation. The researchers measured levels of a pro-inflammatory cytokine (a regulatory protein secreted by the immune system) called interleukin-6, and the activity of a pro-inflammatory signalling molecule in white blood cells called nuclear factor-kB.
While at rest (before the stress challenge), the depressed patients had increased inflammation relative to the control group. Both the depressed and the healthy groups showed an inflammatory response to the stress challenge, but people who were currently depressed exhibited the greatest increases of interleukin-6 and nuclear factor-kB.
"While inflammation is essential for us to fight bacterial and viral infections, too much inflammation can cause harm," says Dr. Miller. "There's always some collateral damage when the immune system gets fired up, and we now believe that too much inflammation, either at rest or during stress, may predispose people to become depressed or stay depressed." In addition, medical research over the last decade has shown that runaway inflammation may play a role in a number of disorders, including heart disease, cancer, and diabetes, all of which have been associated with depression.
People in the study who suffered from depression also had higher rates of early life stressful experiences. "We have found that this kind of personal life history may make people more likely to develop major depression and is actually common in depressed patients," says Dr. Heim.
It was part of a larger project at the Emory Conte Centre for the Neuroscience of Mental Disorders led by Charles B. Nemeroff, MD, PhD, Reunette W. Harris Professor and Chair of Emory's Department of Psychiatry and Behavioural Sciences. The Conte Centre is dedicated to understanding the contribution of early life abuse and neglect to the neurobiology of adulthood psychiatric disorders. Ongoing studies by Dr. Miller's team of researchers will attempt to determine how early life experiences contribute to excessive inflammatory stress responses.
"According to the Depression and Bipolar Support Alliance, major depression is the leading cause of disability worldwide and costs the U.S. economy $70 billion annually in medical expenditures, lost productivity, and other expenses," says Thaddeus Pace, PhD, lead author on the paper. "This study is leading us toward finding out what actually causes depression and to identifying what aspects of immune system function are abnormal in depressed people. The goal is to find potential targets within the molecular machinery of the immune system so we can better treat major depression and minimize its consequences on health."

Here's a fun little easter egg in Captain America: The Winter Soldier: In the beginning of the movie, we get a peek of Captain America's list of things he missed out on while he was asleep. Things like I Love Lucy and the Moon landing and Steve Jobs fill up his cute "things to catch up on to do list" but the funny thing is that the list is different depending on which country the movie is shown in.
Reddit user DavinderB compiled screenshots from all the different versions of Captain America 2 to show the slight differences in perspective around the world. Though the last 5 items on the list stay the same (that would be Thai Food, Star Wars/Trek, Nirvana, Rocky and Troubleman), the first 5 things change to reflect a particular country's interest. That's why America gets the Moon landing while Russia gets the Soviet Union dissolution and the UK gets The Beatles.
It's fun to think of what Captain America would be into learning from each country. You can see the full list here.
Here's the list in the UK:
And in Russia:

In South Korea:

TGen study identifies gene fusion as likely cause of rare type of thyroid cancer
In a scientific first, the fusion of two genes, ALK and EML4, has been identified as the genetic driver in an aggressive type of thyroid cancer, according to a study by the Translational Genomics Research Institute (TGen).
These groundbreaking findings are based on genetic sequencing of tumor cells from a 62-year-old patient with an aggressive tall cell variant of papillary thyroid cancer, according to the study published Tuesday, March 18, in the World Journal of Surgery, the official journal of the International Society of Surgery.
The patient's thyroid cancer recurred after he had undergone multiple operations, external beam radiation and chemotherapy, and so the patient appeared to be a candidate for additional study.
Following one surgery in June 2011, a sample of the patient's tumor was obtained and studied by whole-genome sequencing, in which TGen spells out, in order, the more than 3 billion chemical base pairs that make up human DNA.
A comparison of the tumor DNA to the patient's normal DNA found 57 mutations in 55 genes of the cancer genome. The investigators also found a rearrangement between two genes. This translocation and fusion of EML4-ALK was identified as the genetic driver of the patient's cancer.
"This is the first report of the whole genome sequencing of a papillary thyroid cancer, in which we identified an EML4-ALK translocation. This is important because we have a drug that can target this fusion and treat the patient," said Dr. Michael J. Demeure, Clinical Professor and Director of TGen's Rare Cancer Unit, and the study's principal investigator and lead author. "This patient's tumor did not harbor more well-known gene mutations that are associated with most thyroid cancers. These findings suggest that this tumor has a distinct oncogenesis, or the genetic cause of cancer."
There are few therapeutic options for patients with radioiodine-resistant aggressive papillary thyroid cancer. The EML4-ALK fusion appears in about 5 percent of lung cancers, which are usually treated with a targeted drug known as crizotinib.
By identifying the EML4-ALK fusion in this study, TGen was able to recommend crizotinib for this study's 62-year-old patient, whose cancer then remained progression-free for more than 6 months.
"Whole-genome sequencing technologies offer the promise of allowing for precision targeted treatment for human diseases, including cancer," said Dr. John Carpten, TGen Deputy Director of Basic Science, and Director of TGen's Integrated Cancer Genomics Division, and the study's senior author. "Through a greater understanding of the molecular oncogenesis of a specific cancer, one would hope to devise more effective, individualized treatments."
Whole genome sequencing is particularly beneficial for patients with relatively rare tumors, since they generally have less access to new drug treatments often available through clinical trials, according to the study, Whole-genome sequencing of an aggressive BRAF wild-type papillary thyroid cancer identified EML4-ALK translocation as a therapeutic target.
Also contributing to this study were physicians from Arizona Oncology, and Scottsdale Pathology Consultants.
