Hypertrophy and Kettlebell tricks, with Mark Laws
Myth Buster: Hypertrophy Rep Range
Ever since the 1970's hypertrophy training has been hugely popular. The textbooks suggest somewhere in the region of 3-5 sets of 8-12 reps…but some people advocate 10 sets of 10. Arnie sometimes did 26 sets per muscle group, with 61 sets on leg day, and he was pretty big. A high-profile body-building coach once got very excited about a challenge I gave him to hit 250 reps in 5 minutes with a 20kg weight because of the 'pump' he was going to get.
So why the huge difference in approaches?
Well, it comes down to the fact that there are a LOT of variables, and we are all different! Just because something works for somebody else does NOT mean it will work for you – so before purchasing a 'cookie cutter' programme from some goon on Instagram with a six-pack, it's worth thinking about your own body specifically and experimenting…
My advice? Try low weight/high reps, high weight/low reps, medium weight/medium reps and see how it affects YOU. One thing that is crucial for you all – sort out your diet!
Five things you can do with a Kettlebell
- Swing
Stand one large step behind the kettlebell, reach for the handle with both hands and pull the kettlebell towards the back side. Drive the hips forward explosively, forcing the kettlebell up to shoulder height. As the kettlebell descends keep a minimum bend at the knee and push your hips back towards the wall (not down towards the floor), ensuring your posterior chain is doing most of the work. As the kettlebell reaches your backside your chest should be facing the floor, similar to a 'good morning' position.
This one can be tough to learn but try this… press a light kettlebell overhead with your right arm and lock the elbow. Never take your eyes of the kettlebell and keep it pointing straight up to the sky. Lunge backwards with the left leg so the knee touches the floor. Drop the left hand to the floor. Bring the left leg through to the front so the left bum cheek touches the floor. Left elbow to floor. Left shoulder to floor. Lay flat on the floor. Then reverse the movement on the way up and switch hands. Simples.
- Bottom Up Press
Hold the handle of the kettlebell so that the weight is pointing straight up to the sky. Start position will see the elbow tucked in tight to the ribs with your elbow, wrist, fist and kettlebell all in a perfectly vertical line. Test your grip strength and all round manliness by pressing the kettlebell overhead and returning back to the start position as many times as possible.
- Renegade Row
Use two flat-bottomed kettlebells (preferably competition style). Get into a push-up position with one hand on each kettlebell. Hold your body in a solid position from shoulder to ankle, spreading your feet apart to aid your stability. Pull one kettlebell up towards the chest while holding yourself still with the opposite arm. Alternate hands whilst trying to keep your body as still as possible.
- Overhead Squat
Hold kettlebell overhead in one hand, slowly squat down until you opposite hand gets as close to the floor as possible. Allow your upper body to rotate towards the kettlebell as you squat down. Never take your eyes off the kettlebell when its overhead.
High-Protein – How and why? Bestfit's Ben Coomber explains
Ask three different people what a high-protein diet is, and you'll get three different answers. To some, a high-protein diet means you eat a lot of meat and little else. To others, a high-protein diet means you get 40% of your daily calorie intake from protein, or you multiply your bodyweight in kilos by four and eat that many grams.
A healthy, young and active person who partakes in some form of resistance training on a regular basis should be having around 2-3g of protein per kilogram of bodyweight. This may or may not be a 'highprotein diet' depending on who you ask, but it will provide adequate protein for your needs.
Protein, for those unsure, is a term used for a category of compounds found within organic material. The most abundant dietary sources are found in animal products like meat, fish, eggs and dairy, though a nottoo-insignificant amount can also be found in some plant sources.
It's made up of long chains of molecules known as amino acids, which are the vital 'building blocks for life' for every organism on the planet. When you eat a food containing protein, your body breaks it down during the digestive process into these amino acids, which it can then use to make new proteins for use in muscle cells, hormones, hair, skin, nails and bone. Think of it like getting a bunch of Lego models, breaking them up into individual blocks and then rebuilding them into something else.
The government recommends that women have 55g and men 65g of protein per day. So is a high-protein diet needed? A good intake of 2-3g per kilo can be hugely beneficial, and if this sounds appealing, here are my top five protein sources to keep in your kitchen at all times.
1. Sirloin Steak
Red meat gets a bit of a bashing in the media, but it's an important source of iron, b vitamins, zinc and magnesium. Serve with veggies and a jacket potato, or sliced on top of a toasted ciabbatta with horseradish for a perfect post-workout meal.
2. Greek Yoghurt
Regular natural yoghurt is a great source of calcium, fat-soluble vitamins and live bacteria, which can be really helpful for digestion (though it's a little high in sugar). Greek Yoghurt has been strained through a muslin cloth to remove a lot of the sugar and liquid, leaving us with a thick and creamy snack high in protein. Opt for full fat if you can fit it within your calorie needs, but fat free is a great option, too.
3. Duck Eggs
Eggs are considered to be a 'perfect protein' due to the ratio of different amino acids present within them ideal for human consumption. They're incredibly versatile, they stay fresh for a really long time compared to meat and they're relatively cheap. Duck eggs are my choice purely for taste, but if you opt for hen eggs make sure they are from chickens raised with the highest welfare conditions that you can afford. This alters the fatty acid profile of the yolk, but it's also the right thing to do.
4. Black Beans
Beans are a plant-based protein power house. They're incredibly cheap, and with a can providing over half of your daily fibre intake in one low-calorie portion, they need to be a part of your arsenal. Add them to stews or a chilli, or simply cook them and stir in some harissa paste for a great side dish for chicken.
5. Whey Protein
Whey protein is sometimes thought of as a supplement, but essentially it's fortified milk, and is present in baby formula and custard mix. Whey protein is, gram for gram, the cheapest animalbased protein product you can buy. It's versatile, it never spoils, it's readily available, it tastes good and it's rated even better than eggs. Add it to water and shake it up or get more creative and cook with it.

I loved taking part in the 6 on 6 photo challenge last year. Unfortunately, In November I didn't have time to take any "gold" photos. So in took them in December and did not have get around to post them to the blog. But seeing as I enjoyed the project I figured I would post them now to complete the challenge, even if they do include some Christmas photos!
I couldn't include a tsum tsum in these photos, I incorporated my C-3PO tsum tsum in the July (he still looks yellow not gold to me). I have included Star Wars iconic golden droid. From the cover of my moleskine journal and Santa version (from 2015 Lego Advent calendar).
I mentioned before, how I love charm bracelets, this is my newest version which only has a few charms. I stopped wearing glasses 10 years ago, but sometimes still miss it. This "glasses" ring is a way for me to show my nerdy side.
6 on 6 is a monthly photography challenge started by the Scruffy Little Nerd Herder #6on6

After the initial shock, I felt better once hubby found the switch for the central heating. Arriving in a strange place when it's dark and you're tired makes for uneasy feelings. The house had been all shuttered up and gloomy. The next day, we opened up the French windows and let in a frail Parisian sunshine. We felt much better after that. A few hours of cleaning and a bottle of air freshener later, things looked up even more.
It's a lovely house if a bit dated and rundown; a withering flower that has seen better times and more attention when it was younger. In contrast, we had spent many a weekend to prep our own abode: repaired little things, done touch-up jobs, bought new towels, even sheets. A friend asked me before we left,"Why don't you do all that after your return?" We just wanted to present our home at its best.
I'd better concentrate on the positive. The location is just magnificent. Within a reasonable train ride into Paris and not too far from Versailles; in a quiet upscale neighborhood with big gardens and beautiful views. We have our own swimming pool and rabbit. Plus a guinea pig thrown in. That's right. Two weeks before our departure, we got the request to feed these two pets. What could we do? I had specifically chosen a house without pets. They are outside, however, at least at the moment. (Hence the smell?)
Since the weather picked up yesterday- now around 80 F- we mostly live and eat outside. The open windows and doors provide a fresh breeze. No air condition, or rather a broken unit outside. What we do miss, however, is the lack of an ice-maker or at least a little freezing compartment in the big fridge. There is a deep freezer in the garage but that's a long way from the kitchen.
And we made friends with the pets. The rabbit loves dandelion and the guinea pig prefers carrots. But they firmly remain outside.

Yet another delay for eco-labelling scheme
Implementation of the EC eco-labelling scheme is to be delayed yet again. Agreement on labelling criteria for several product groups has been postponed by several months till next spring. The one positive development is that the first eco-labelled washing machines may make an appearance in British shops in the next few weeks.

Probably the most important aspect of a great game of golf is an effective and properly executed swing. Unlike a lot of sports, where you can simply pick up the ball and start playing, golf requires a lot of technical dexterity and coaching in order to get the swing just right. The payoff is more than worth it though, as a solid swing can lower your score significantly, and can be the difference between staying at your old handicap and coming in under par. Check out these simple tips in order to improve your golf swing technique today.
Hold Your Club Properly
The first step to a great swing is to hold your club in the proper manner. Start out by letting your hands hang neutrally at your sides – with a slight crook in each arm. Your arms should have this same angle when you grab the club. Sports writer Gelinda Grimes,, in the golf section of popular website howstuffworks.com, goes into more detail about the exact way to lock your hands together when you're holding a golf club.
Vardon grip: Probably the most popular and common golf grip, the Vardon or "overlapping" grip is achieved by fitting the pinkie finger of the trailing hand between the index and middle finger of the lead hand.
If this is difficult for you, or if you have smaller hands (or a weaker grip) than most people, you might find it more comfortable to actually lock the pinkie finger of your trailing hand to the index finger of your leading hand. This can make it easier to hold the hands together, although it can give you slightly less club control.
Keep Your Head Down
It is often said that if you want to see a bad shot in golf, look at your own. There is a lot of truth in this old gem. Far too many golfers reflexively pull their heads up after they hit the ball in order to see how their shot looked, or to look for the ball. This is probably the number one mistake among golfers, even those who have been playing for years. No matter what you do, do not pull up right away. Follow through on your swing, bring your club all the way through to your shoulder, and then you can look up and look at your ball.
As a rule of thumb, you should be looking at the grass underneath where you ball was for at least two second after you hit it to make sure that that you don't pull up. Count these seconds out loud if it helps you stay focused. If you're worried about a slice or hook sending your ball off into the wilderness, ask a friend to spot it for you. After you finish your swing and look up, they should still be able to point you in the direction of the ball, which, if you follow the directions so far, should still be floating about the fairway.
Correct Sway
Sway causes problems for a lot of golfers, even those who have been playing for a long time. Sway generally refers to the phenomenon whereby a golfer's body moves laterally to the side when the swing, instead of properly coiling around the spine to compress your strength into one motion.
Renowned Golf author Katherine Roberts discusses the causes and effects of lateral sway in golfers, and discusses how you might be able to correct it.
Physically, sway is caused by an inability to internally rotate the hips due to a lack of flexibility as well as a lack of strength in the glutes… poor strength inhibits control of the hips, depletes power and distance, and affects consistency.
The best solution to excess sway problems involve focusing on your strength. Although we don't usually think of weight training and golf as going hand in hand, the truth is that they definitely do. By building up the strength in your hips and back through weight training, swimming, or resistance training, you will keep your body in one place when you swing, and thereby get more power in your shot, and more distance on the fairway.

Horror on the High Seas: Torture for Torture's Sake
Let us start out with torture and pirates via that story of the unfortunate Aaron Smith. Smith, a pilot and some-time surgeon aboard an English merchant, was captured by pirates in the Caribbean in 1822. Pressed into unwilling service due to his knowledge of the islands, Smith witnessed atrocities that he would later write about to great acclaim. His pamphlet The Atrocities of the Pirates, was published after he was tried and acquitted on charges of piracy. Of course his Victorian contemporaries, already in love with the gruesome, snapped up his writing and, for a short time, the pilot knew a modicum of fame.
Here is a sample involving a member of the pirate crew whom the captain accused of plotting mutiny:
[The Captain] threatened me with vengeance for my interference, declaring that he had not done half that he intended to do.
Having said this, he turned to the man, told him that he should be killed, and therefore advised him to prepare for death, or confess himself to any of the crew whom I chose to call aside for that purpose.
The man persisted in his plea of innocence, declared that he had nothing to confess, and entreated them all to spare his life. They paid no attention to his assertions but, by the order of the Captain, the man was put into the boat, pinioned and lashed in the stern, and five of the crew were directed to arm themselves with pistols and muskets and to go in her. The captain then ordered me to go with them, savagely remarking that I should now see how he punished rascals, and giving directions to the boat's crew to row for three hours backwards and forwards through a narrow creek formed by a desert island and the island of Cuba. "I will see," cried he, exulting, "whether the mosquitoes & the sandflies will not make him confess." Prior to our leaving the schooner, the thermometer was above ninety degrees in the shade, and the poor wretch was now exposed naked to the full heat of the sun. In this state we took him to the channel, one side of which was bordered by swamps full of mangrove trees, and swarming with the venomous insects before mentioned.
We had scarcely been half an hour in this place when the miserable victim was distracted with pain; his body began to swell, and he appeared one complete blister from head to foot. Often in the agony of his torments did he implore them to end his existence and release him from his misery; but the inhuman wretches only imitated his cries, and mocked and laughed at him. In a very short time, from the effects of the solar heat and the stings of the mosquitoes and sandlies, his face had become so swollen that not a feature was distinguishable; his voice began to fail, & his articulation was no longer distinct.
The unfortunate man continued to be tortured in this manner for another half an hour. Finally, the boat was rowed back to the ship but, when the captain was informed that the man had not confessed, he ordered that the "rascal" be taken back to the sand bar and used for target practice. Surviving this, the poor devil was finally weighed down with "a pig of iron... fastened round his neck, & he was thrown into the sea."
An ignominious end for a man who clearly chose bad company and, in the final analysis, found a miserable death for it.

Montr?al Canadiens 4, Phoenix Coyotes 3 FINALNHL.com @NHLdotcom
GLENDALE, Ariz. (AP) _ From Jose Theodore's viewpoint, the Montreal Canadiens played just well enough to beat Phoenix _ and stay on New Jersey's heels for sixth in the Eastern Conference.
Theodore made 21 saves, and Saku Koivu and Richard Zednik each had a goal and an assist in Montreal's 4-3 win over the Coyotes on Friday night. The two points gave the Canadiens 78 to New Jersey's 81 with another big contest coming up Saturday night in Los Angeles.
``Back-to-back games this time of year, you've got to play well, and points are really important,'' Theodore said. ``I don't think tonight we played the kind of game we wanted to play, which is a playoff type of game. We got some penalties that could have cost us.''
Special teams sparkled for Montreal, which got power-play goals from Pierre Dagenais and Koivu and a short-handed goal from Jim Dowd in his first game with the Canadiens. Andrei Markov had two assists, and they won again after seeing a five-game winning streak snapped Wednesday at San Jose.
The debut wasn't as fortunate for Alex Kovalev, another forward seeing his first action for the Habs. He separated his right shoulder in the second period and was listed as day to day.
``It's frustrating for sure,'' Theodore said. ``You got one of the top guys in the league, and he gets hurt.''
Daymond Langkow, Mike Comrie and Chris Gratton scored for Phoenix.
The Coyotes, winless in seven games (0-4-1-2) tried to rally from a 4-1 deficit in the third period and fell short.
Zednik produced the three-goal lead when he shot from the high slot after a pass from Markov, beating Brian Boucher 43 seconds in.
``It ended up being the winning goal,'' coach Claude Julien said. ``That type of game, we should have controlled it from there on in, but for the second game in a row we took some bad penalties, so we certainly have to get better in that area.''
Comrie made it 4-2 just 2:15 later, and Gratton scored a power-play goal at the 4:05 mark.
But the Canadiens allowed the Coyotes just four more shots the rest of the way, and Theodore handled them for the win.
``For whatever reason, we seem to play desperate when we get down a couple of goals, and we need to play like that at the start,'' Langkow said.
After a scoreless first period, the Canadiens scored three times in the second.
They broke through against Boucher, who had 10 of his 21 saves in the first period, when Dagenais deflected Markov's wrist shot 2:46 in.
Phoenix responded 40 seconds later when Langkow wristed a rebound over a fallen Theodore, but Montreal regained the lead with 6:29 remaining on a brilliant play by Andreas Dackell.
He stole the puck from Shane Doan along the boards, skated into the left circle and passed across to Dowd at the crease. Dowd, acquired Thursday from Minnesota, redirected the puck just enough to bank it in off the opposite goal post.
``Dacks made a great play there,'' Dowd said. ``I drove to the net. It was on his forehand. I knew he was going to try to pass. The defense played it well, and he made a great backhand pass just right at my tape end.''
Koivu also profited from a mistake by Phoenix's captain _ Doan was in the penalty box for slashing when the Finnish center's shot from above the circle found its way through Boucher's pads with 4:24 to go.
``I know it looks like four goals on 25 shots, but I felt better about my game,'' said Boucher, 1-12-2 in his last 15 starts.

A recent study from Canada found that full-term babies who spent time in the neonatal intensive care unit had a considerably higher risk of developing autism spectrum disorder (ASD); most of the babies who became autistic also developed other health complications.
Researchers from McGill University in Montreal reviewed the charts of 180 full-term babies born between 1992 and 2007, who had been in the NICU at Montreal Children's Hospital. All the babies had a gestational age of 37 weeks or longer.
Out of 180 babies, 12 — or 6.7 percent — were later diagnosed with ASD. That's a rate many times higher than that for full-term babies who are not placed in the NICU.
Of the babies who developed ASD, 75 percent, or 9 of them, also had one or more additional disorders. Seventy-five percent were later diagnosed with "global developmental delays" ("GDD" is characterized by developmental delays in multiple areas, such as language, speech, vision, motor, social or cognitive skills); 30 percent had cerebral palsy and 30 percent had epilepsy.
By comparison, among the 180 babies, 40 percent were deemed normal, 43 percent later developed GDD, 29 percent developed cerebral palsy and 26 percent got epilepsy.
Causes for admission into the NICU were varied and included: genetically acquired conditions, infections, operations, intracranial hemorrhage, and hypoxic ischemic encephalopathy, a condition in which the brain's oxygen supply has been decreased.
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention estimate that 1 in 88 American children has ASD, though a more recent report by the CDC, using different tracking methods, puts the estimate at closer to 1 in 50 American children. Three-quarters of all ASD diagnoses are given to male children.
Consistent with that latter point, 9 out of the 12 babies who got ASD in the Montreal study were boys.
Study authors were unable to pinpoint specific risk factors for the subsequent development of ASD; but they offered that a newborn who spends time in the NICU and has an additional diagnosis of epilepsy, cerebral palsy or GDD may have a higher risk of developing autism.
The results of the study were presented recently in Austin, TX at the annual meeting of the Child Neurology Society.
Autism is a neurodevelopmental disorder in which sufferers have difficulty socializing and/or communicating; repetitive behaviors are also common. Autism has differing degrees of severity, and because possible symptoms are many, no two children with autism will behave alike.
The following are possible early symptoms of autism in infants:
- Baby makes no eye contact
- Baby does not respond to his or her name
- Baby does not follow objects with eyes
- No big smiles by 6 months
- Baby does not try to repeat sounds by 6 months
- Baby does not reach out to be picked up
- Baby does not babble by 12 months
- Baby does not gesture (pointing, waving) by 12 months
- Baby knows no words by 16 months
- Baby loses previously acquired babbling, speech or socials kills at any age
If you suspect that something isn't right with your baby, talk to your doctor right away. Early screening and intervention can help improve an autistic child's function and outcome.

text: Honeybee decline may be a serious problem, but there is some great bee news coming out of New York City this week: a whole new bee species has been discovered in the Brooklyn Botanic Garden! Officially — and appropriately! — named "Lasioglossum gotham," the new insect is just one of four new bee species discovered in the greater New York area. Given the seemingly unstoppable decline in honeybees, the exciting news is a very good sign.

The Google Nexus 7 is a powerful little tablet, and as you get more into using it, you might come across apps that require 'root'. So what is root? Put simply, Android is just like any other operating system -- every action that tinkers with its inner workings requires a permission. Having root level permission is the ultimate security clearance, and in this guide I'll show you how to get it.
Once you've rooted your Nexus 7, you can do things like mount USB sticks with StickMount (you'll have to find a USB host cable), install custom ROMs, explore the full Linux file system (such as ES File Explorer), use Titanium Backup, tune your CPU for performance or battery life (such as with CPU tuner), and even block ads.
A word of warning -- the following procedure will void your warranty, and if done incorrectly, it could damage your device. CNET UK and I do not accept responsibility for bricking your Nexus 7. On the bright side, your device can be revived back to factory specifications -- these changes aren't permanent.
You'll need a Windows PC. Connect your Nexus 7 using the USB cable it came with (don't use just any old USB cable). Then install the Nexus Root Toolkit (NRT). This application will allow you to root any Nexus-branded Android device. Use the 'Your Model type' setting (top left in NRT) to set Nexus 7 as your device.
Backing up
Unlocking the Nexus 7's bootloader will cause all of your data and apps to be erased, so it's worth using the 'Backup + Restore' feature provided in NRT. If you find your tablet has slowed down since you bought it, with all the apps and widgets clogging up its processes, this is a good opportunity to let everything go and start from scratch -- you'll find it runs much faster after this process is complete.
Ensure Android Debug Bridge is running
Android Debug Bridge (ADB) is a tool that lets your computer communicate with an Android-powered device. To make sure it's running, click on the Launch button in the 'Advanced utilities' section in NRT. In the bottom-left corner of the next window, click the 'Launch CMD prompt' button. In the command window that appears, type "adb start-server", and close both windows and return to NRT.
Configure drivers
First, make sure 'USB debugging' is enabled on your tablet. Open the Settings application and tap on 'Developer options', then check the 'USB debugging' box. Next, you need to install drivers that will allow NRT to communicate properly with your tablet. Even though the Nexus 7 is an Asus device, the drivers are by Samsung. Click the large 'Full Driver Installation Guide -- Automatic + Manual' button in the top-right corner of NRT.
You can choose whether to use the automatic driver setup or to do things manually. Fortunately, NRT is furnished with detailed instructions for each step -- all you have to do is read them carefully. For the sake of brevity, I'll outline the manual configuration steps to give you a better idea of their purpose.
The first two steps require you to have the right drivers for your device. This entails removing any drivers you may have installed previously, and then installing the Samsung drivers supplied in NRT.
Driver configuration steps 3 and 4 involve setting up your tablet with the Samsung drivers. This is the same process as updating drivers for any other Windows hardware. If you've done everything correctly, the Reboot button in step 5 will reboot your tablet.
The above image shows you configuring your Nexus 7 to be recognised as a 'Samsung Android ADB interface' device.
The rest of the steps are concerned with another set of drivers called Fastboot. Your PC requires these drivers to enable it to flash the firmware of an Android device. As you follow the configuration in step 6 through to 8, you'll install the Fastboot drivers for the Nexus 7 and then reboot it into 'Recovery mode' as a test (see image below).
Unlock the boot loader
Just as with a PC, the Nexus 7's boot loader is a program that tells the tablet how to wake up and load its operating system. It doubles as a gatekeeper, setting a limit on the level of permissions that can be granted to the user. Because we're dealing with a Nexus device, we won't need to replace the boot loader or exploit a security hole. Instead, clicking the Unlock button in NRT will send a command to the boot loader instructing it to boot to the 'Unlock boot loader?' screen, as shown below.
After unlocking, the Nexus 7 may take a long time to boot, or boot a few times -- don't worry, this is normal. Once it has booted properly, be sure to enable 'USB debugging' mode again.
Root the Nexus 7
Once unlocked, clicking the 'Root' button will push the SuperSU application to your Nexus 7. Whenever you run an application that requires root permissions, SuperSU will pop up asking if it may grant root permissions to the application.
Beneath the NRT Root button, you'll see radio button options for flashing 'Clockwork Mod' (CWM) or not. This is an alternate recovery mode program -- replacing the cute 'Android on its back' recovery mode. If you intend to flash your Nexus 7 with alternative ROMs, then I recommend flashing CWM. If not, then you don't need CWM. Note, even though the option says 'Permanent', returning to factory conditions will remove CWM.
You'll need to run the SuperSU application once so that it can complete its installation.
You'll also see another new application, 'Busy Box'. This provides alternate versions of Linux tools that other applications may use with root permissions. It will need root permissions too.
You're all done. If you find you want to undo everything and go back to factory specifications, you can undo all of the above using NRT. This YouTube video has useful, easy to follow instructions.

21st April 2017
Grayling has just been shortlisted by the European Excellence Awards Public Affairs, for its Public Affairs actions for the UNPLV, the National Union for Vacation Rental, in the «Tourism» category.
Created with the support of Grayling France by two of its historical actors, Abritel-HomeAway and Clevacances, the UNPLV now brings together more than 90% of the rental vacation sector's traditional actors and Internet platforms. The Association aims at promoting an historical sector for decades – holiday rental – that was able to succeed in its digital transformation, defending holiday rental actors' interests through concrete regulations and developing a dialogue and connections with public authorities and the French media.
Along with the agency, the UNPLV organized its 1st national rental vacation conference in March 2016 involving the sector's key protagonists - 300 participants -, during which the 1st charter was officially signed with the Ministry of Foreign Affairs. A second UNPLV conference is planned in September 2017 to further amplify the association's actions.
Thanks to Grayling's long-term actions, the sector's actors are now fully recognized and involved in the public debate like other sectors such as hotels. The association is fully integrated into the public debate and process in the scope of the 2017 French Presidential campaign. Its awareness had been hugely increased in the French media.
The Awards ceremony will take place on May 31st at Hôtel Le Plaza, in Brussels.

When transfected into cell lines in which it is not expressed, suppresses cell growth. Additionally we are shipping FAM107A Antibodies (24) and FAM107A Proteins (6) and many more products for this protein.
Showing 6 out of 13 products:
FAM107A gene is down-regulated in laryngeal tumors.
This study has thus revealed a novel nuclear complex of F-actin, DRR1 and COMMD1 that is involved in NF-kappaB degradation and cell cycle suppression in neuroblastoma cells.
Importance of FAM107A in lung carcinogenesis, although other than promoter hypermethylation mechanism of the gene decreased expression.
Results found that DRR expression leads to elevated AKT activation by recruiting AKT to focal adhesios in a manner dependent on SRC-family kinases (SFKs) and cell adhesion.
DRR1 protein is expressed in normal cells, particularly in the nervous system during embryogenesis, is involved in neuronal cell survival, and is downregulated during neuroblastoma carcinogenesis.
Expression of the down-regulated in renal cell carcinoma gene (DRR1) gene at 3p14.2 was lost in 7 and down regulated in 2 "chr3+" tumours.
TU3A is epigenetically inactivated in human cancer
Endogenous DRR1 localizes to some, but not all, synapses, with preference for the presynaptic region. Enhancement of DRR1 expression reduced spine density, diminished the probability of synaptic glutamate release, and altered cognitive performance.
When transfected into cell lines in which it is not expressed, suppresses cell growth. May play a role in tumor development.

I love an excuse to buy for my kids. They get so excited, and the look of their faces is priceless. I feel that many kids are over gifted these days. My husband and I try not to over buy for them, as they both have so many toys already, plus we want our children to respect, and appreciate their toys.
Easter shopping this year was pretty simple now that my boys are interested in many of the same things. I found that most items come in a pack of two, which was helpful in keeping my cost down. I even got extra lucky and bought a package of six travel tissues with the CARS Pixar characters on it for $1.00. I put one pack in each basket and I can save the remaining packs for their Christmas stockings. (You do realize that the Easter bunny, and Santa Clause are friends right?) Here is a break down of our Easter basket contents this year:
Kite $2.99
Coloring book $1.99
Book $1.00 (school book order)
blue cup $3.50
parachute man $2.00
Cars travel tissue .16
bubble wand $1.99
Annie's fruit snacks .79
sticky guy (inside an egg) .50
Little white bunny (free, handed down from Grammies craft collection)
Toothbrush .50
Organic Jelly Beans
Total= $15.42
My husband and I choose to limit the amount of candy our children consume. I skipped the traditional chocolate bunny, because really who needs all of that sugar? If you read the label you will learn that these kinds of candy are filled with junk. We do however buy organic jelly beans, gum drops, and fruit snacks to fill our colorful eggs for our family Easter egg hunt. I also fill these eggs with fun stickers, and small toys from the dollar store. Keep holiday buying simple, and fun. Set a budget, and stick with it. My kids are not deprived of toys or candy in anyway, and we still manage to spend less. Happy Easter!

I remember my first experience with the Enneagram. A few friends had been talking about it consistently and they encouraged me to take the test myself. I completed the quiz, looked up my number, and began to read. I found myself scoffing and huffing more with every page I read, until I finally threw the book across the room.
I treat my books as my most valuable possessions and I have never thrown a book before or since. The things that book was implying, though, lit up my outrage like fireworks. The Enneagram doesn't mince words and it doesn't pull punches. It has a lot of nerve.
For example:
Sevens end up anxious, frustrated, and enraged, with fewer resources available to them physically, emotionally, or financially. They may end up ruining their health, their relationships, and their finances in their search for happiness.
Ones can be highly dogmatic, self-righteous, intolerant, and inflexible. Begin dealing in absolutes: they alone know "The Truth." Everyone else is wrong: very severe in judgments, while rationalizing own actions.
Sixes become sarcastic and belligerent, blaming others for their problems, taking a tough stance toward "outsiders." Highly reactive and defensive, dividing people into friends and enemies, while looking for threats to their own security.
Granted, the Enneagram does try to balance the weaknesses with strengths but those strengths don't seem nearly as convincing. It took me a number of years of healing to be able to encounter the truth of the Enneagram and not be overwhelmed by its insights. It probably already knew that.

Army kills 9 insurgents in Bulabulin
from EMEKA OKONKWO in Abuja, Nigeria
ABUJA – NIGERIAN troops have killed nine suspected Boko Haram terrorists following an exchange of gunfire in Bulabulin, Borno State.
After the battle that lasted an hour, according to an Army spokesperson, an unspecified number of suspected insurgents were wounded.
Troops also captured two AK-47 Rifles, two hand grenades, an improvised explosive device, five cans of petrol and nine motorcycles.
However, the troops' handheld radio was badly damaged during the encounter.
Col. Sani Kukasheka Usman, Acting Director of Army Public Relations, said the Army, under Operation Lafiya Dole initiated to defeat the insurgents would sustain the fight.
"Troops will continue the clearance operation of the remnants of the Boko Haram in all the nooks and crannies of their areas of operation with renewed vigour and determination," he said.
Nigerian troops have been involved in a seven-year battle against the insurgents in the northeast of the country.
The insurgency ha claimed the lives of more than 20 000 civilians and displaced 3 million.

The customer is responsible for all shipping costs. We primarily ship packages via FedEx, USPS and UPS methods. Complete orders will typically ship the same business day as long as they are placed before 11 AM PST. While we make every attempt to ship the day of your order, there is no guarantee of this. We also cannot guarantee that your package will arrive in any particular time frame. There are instances where UPS, FedEx or USPS will delay the shipment of a package due to unforeseen events. If your package has been delayed beyond its scheduled delivery time, we will not be able to refund any shipping charges. Please be aware that FedEx, UPS and USPS do not have any guarantees as to the delivery time of a ground package.
Free shipping is offered on some of our products, as noted in the various brand sections. Qualifying orders shipping within the continental U.S. must select UPS Ground as their shipping method, otherwise, free shipping will not be granted. Please note that if you attempt to obtain free shipping on an order that does not qualify, your order will be cancelled until we notify you and receive authorization for the additional shipping charges. Free shipping promotions do not apply to international orders.
Free shipping offers never apply to oversized items unless specifically stated on that item page. If you use a free shipping coupon with a mix of normal items and oversize items we may have to ask for shipping charge due to the excessive cost of shipping large items like rifle bags and Pelican cases.
If a customer is in receipt of merchandise that was drop-shipped (merchandise from one of Range Master Tactical Gear, Inc.'s distributors shipped directly to the customer), it is the customer's responsibility to contact Range Master Tactical Gear, Inc. regarding the drop-shipped merchandise. We will not be held liable for issuing refunds and/or exchanges on any drop-shipped merchandise that a customer has chosen to return to the distributor. In addition, Range Master Tactical Gear, Inc. will not be held liable for any missing or damaged items that the customer has chosen to return to the distributor. Furthermore, if drop-shipped merchandise has been returned to the distributor by the customer, Range Master Tactical Gear, Inc. reserves the right to end all further assistance and proceedings regarding the customer's order. All drop shipped merchandise must be returned to Range Master Tactical Gear, not to the manufacturer.
Should a package be lost or damaged, it is the customer's responsibility to report the loss to Range Master Tactical Gear, Inc. so that the problem may be addressed in a timely manner. Lost UPS packages must be reported within 30 days of the original ship date of the package. Lost USPS packages must be reported within 90 days of the original ship date.

If you feel that your USPS package has been lost, you must submit your concerned in writing so that we may open a claim with the postal service. Please be aware that claims cannot be opened after 90 days, and Range Master Tactical Gear assumes no responsibility for claims made after these time periods.

Upon placing an order with Range Master Tactical Gear, Inc., the customers' credit card may be authorized by the credit card company for the full dollar amount of the order. This is not a charge.

If there is a problem with your free promotional item or free shipping you must report it within 30 days of shipment.
From time to time items will be offered for sale at a reduced price. Customers who bought any item prior to a sale do not have a right to the difference unless stated in the sale. It is our policy that sale prices only apply to new purchase. Sale prices do not apply to orders placed before the sale went into effect and we will not credit customers the difference in price between the sale price and the old price.
Coupons - For some items or combination of purchased items it may appear to the customer that multiple coupons (free shipping or a % or $ amount discount) could apply. We only allow one coupon code to be used per order (i.e., you get free shipping or a discount, but not both). In some situations we may allow two coupons to be applied, but this would have to be pre-approved by a Range Master Tactical Gear, Inc customer service manager.
Some items on the site will be clearly labeled indicating they do not get free shipping as most other items in the same brand do. If you disregard this statement and attempt to apply an ineligible coupon to your order we will add shipping charges when we process your order. We will not contact you ahead of time.

I realize I haven't been updating - but you can't really update something that has no updates to be given.
Today I sent in my second check for my trip to Thailand! I've almost paid for half of my trip so far (which means that I can soon get my placement and tell everyone exactly where I'll be and which school I'll be working at).
I've also started a small memoir that contains my journey of how I got to Thailand. It's very good - I promise.
So for now I'm still slaving away over phones all day getting yelled at the Grandma's and Grandpa's of America who feel like when they are not approved for a scooter - it is me being evil and unwilling to help - rather than it having to be the fault of their crappy insurance.
Anyway - almost there! I'll be leaving San Marcos on July 31st to move back in with my parents. I'll be saving my money and working a minimum wage job to pay for the rest of Thailand. I can't wait! Which means, if anyone wants to let me borrow a couch on weekends in San Marcos, that would be amazing!

If local naturalist Dick Newell gets a report of a fearless bobcat strolling casually across the path of cyclists riding around Upper Newport Bay, or dropping in on a well-manicured Newport Beach backyard, he knows it's probably Babe.
Babe, a 17-pound female bobcat Newell guesses is about 5 years old, is easily recognizable by the distinctive pattern of her spotted coat and identification tag in her left ear.
"She'll just walk down the path right past you," Newell said.
It was a group of wildlife researchers who named Babe. The researchers tagged her four years ago with a white ear tag and a radio tracking collar.
