STOCKHOLM, Sweden--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Nanologica enters into a License and Collaboration Agreement with Alcyone Lifesciences to develop Abela – a treatment for motor neuron disorders including ALS.
Nanologica today announced that it has entered into a License and Collaboration Agreement with Alcyone Lifesciences to develop a novel therapeutic platform named Abela; 'to breathe' in Hebrew. The partners want to combine Nanologica's NLAB SilicaTM with Alcyone's proprietary drug delivery platform technology. The goal is to develop and commercialize through partnership with biopharma a treatment of certain motor neuron disorders, including Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis (ALS), based on targeted and sustained delivery of trophic factors in combination with embryonic stem cell derived cells. The role of trophic factors is to rescue degenerating neurons or to support survival of transplanted stem cells in patients with ALS or other motor neuron disorders.
"We are excited to kick off the Abela program with Alcyone Lifesciences. The collaboration offers a novel approach to treat ALS patients. We're very satisfied with the match, not only scientifically but also culturally. The Alcyone team has, in a very inspiring way, repeatedly demonstrated an ability to think outside the box when it comes to therapeutic delivery, which is needed when taking on such a challenge as ALS," said Nanologica CEO Andreas Bhagwani.
According to the License and Collaboration Agreement, Alcyone will operate the Abela program and will be responsible for further development and financing of the program through collaboration with biopharma.
ALS is a fatal neurodegenerative disease that affects nerve cells in the brain and spinal cord. It usually starts with loss of control of limbs or difficulties in swallowing related to muscle weakness. Most patients suffer a rapid decline in motor function and die within 2-5 years due to inability to breathe in most cases. There is currently no cure for ALS. Only one drug has been approved for the treatment of ALS, with a limited clinical benefit of slowing down the progression of disease. There are currently more than 70 000 ALS patients1,2 in the United States and Europe alone who would benefit from a new therapy.
"It is the science that excites us. Alcyone's objective is to help to solve some of the most important and challenging problems in CNS medicine. We believe the key to potential success of this therapy is a delivery system like Alcyone's platform technology that delivers in a targeted manner the trophic factors encapsulated in Nanologica's nanoporous material and that provides a specific level of active molecules exactly where they are needed over a prolonged time. That is where we believe a combined approach can potentially make a difference clinically. The Alcyone team is delighted to work with Andreas Bhagwani, Adam Feiler and the rest of the talented Nanologica team, as well as Professor Elena N Kozlova at Uppsala University" says PJ Anand, Founder & CEO of Alcyone Lifesciences.
In previous work, Nanologica in collaboration with Professor Elena N Kozlova (Uppsala University) demonstrated sustained delivery of trophic factors for survival and functional differentiation of stem cells by using nanoporous silica particles.
Abela is a joint effort between Nanologica and Alcyone Lifesciences to fulfill the vision of delivering trophic factors in combination with embryonic stem cell-derived cells in a precise and slow-release manner, to combat motor neuron loss leading to progression of motor neuron disorders including ALS.

Milos Raonic's return to tennis could be on hold.
The hard-serving 20-year-old from Thornhill, Ont., fell ill earlier this week after arriving in Israel for Canada's Davis Cup tie against the host country.
Raonic was hit with a bug, says Davis Cup captain Martin Laurendeau, and his status for Friday's second singles match against Amir Weintraub is uncertain.
"He's in the process of recovering and getting his strength back," Laurendeau said during a conference call Thursday.
"He wants to play. He trained this afternoon, he's really worked hard to be here and play for Canada. He deserves to play and he will if he can."
Raonic hasn't played since injuring his hip at Wimbledon in June. If he cannot play Friday, the team will go with Peter Polansky of Thornhill in the opener.
Raonic is also scheduled to play the first singles match on Sunday.
Raonic, 31st in this week's ATP rankings, is Canada's highest ranked singles player ever.

Sydney Monorail
|Sydney Monorail
|straddle-beam Monorail loop
|21 July 1988
|30 June 2013
|Metro Transport Sydney
|Veolia Transport Sydney
|Line length
|3.6 km (2.2 mi)
The Sydney Monorail (originally TNT Harbourlink and later Metro Monorail) was a single-loop monorail in Sydney, Australia, that connected Darling Harbour, Chinatown and the Sydney central business and shopping districts. It opened in July 1988 and closed in June 2013.[1]
There were eight stations on the 3.6 kilometre loop, with up to six trains operating simultaneously. It served major attractions and facilities such as the Powerhouse Museum, Sydney Aquarium and Sydney Convention and Exhibition Centre. The system was operated by Veolia.
As part of the redevelopment of 50 hectares (120 acres) of land at Darling Harbour it was proposed to build a transport link to the Sydney central business district. Sydney City Council preferred a light rail line, however in November 1985 Transport Minister Laurie Brereton announced a monorail would be built.[2] Initially operated by TNT Harbourlink, the monorail opened on 21 July 1988 after a construction period of 26 months.[3][4] The first test services ran in October 1987 on a 500-metre section at Darling Harbour.[5] TNT Harbourlink was awarded a 50-year concession until 2038.[6]
The original operation hours were to be 06:00 to midnight, but after two years of operation patronage counts were half those expected, and planned stations at Market Street (to be named Casino, as part of the gaming venue planned to be built on the site) and Harbour Street (to be named Gardenside) were not built for some time.[3]
In August 1998 TNT sold the monorail to CGEA Transport Sydney, which was owned by CGEA Transport (later renamed Connex, then Veolia) (51%), Australian Infrastructure Fund (19%), Utilities Trust of Australia (19%) and Legal & General (11%).[7][8]
The Government of New South Wales bought both the monorail and the light rail service from Metro Transport Sydney on 23 March 2012 to enable it to extend the light rail system without having to negotiate with the private owners, and to remove the monorail from the area near Haymarket required for the expanded Sydney Convention and Exhibition Centre.
The monorail ceased operating on 30 June 2013 and all sections of track and some of the stations have been dismantled.[9][10] Around 70 million passenger journeys were made on the line during its lifetime.[11] Two carriages and 10 metres of track have been preserved at the Powerhouse Museum.[12][13] Two carriages are being used as meeting rooms at Google's Pyrmont offices.[14][15]
The track was a steel box girder of 94 centimetres width, raised at a minimum height of 5.5 metres from ground level on steel columns 20 to 40 metres apart. The minimum curve radius was 20 metres and the maximum gradient 4.4% uphill and 6.5% downhill.
Power was supplied at 500 V AC to power the train, via a sheathed conductor below the running plate of the track. A control rail was also provided for train control, and a generator provided to clear trains from the track in emergencies. The train control and maintenance facility is located between Convention and Paddy's Market stations, where a traverser moved trains in and out of service.[3]
Each station stop took 40 seconds, including the time to decelerate, board passengers, and accelerate again. A complete circuit of the route took 12 minutes. It was originally intended for the system to operate automatically, but after a number of breakdowns soon after opening, it was decided to retain drivers, who occupied the first car of each train.[3]
Ticketing and concessions[edit]
Payment for single journeys was made by tokens inserted into the turnstile. For multiple journeys, customers could purchase pre-paid cards. The first card type was based on magnetic stripe technology and called the METROCard. Shortly before the closure of the Monorail, a new contactless card was introduced called the smart.
Rolling stock[edit]
Delivered in 1987, six trains of seven carriages were built by Von Roll Holding to the Type III specification. Each seated 48 passengers, with the driver occupying the leading carriage. (They were designed to seat 56, using all seven carriages.) The first was displayed at the Trans Public Show in Geneva, Switzerland in May 1987.[16]
The monorail trains ran on rubber wheels, and each seven car train had six 37-kilowatt (50 hp) traction motors, permitting a normal operating speed of 33 km/h (21 mph). The doors of each car were automatic, and the floor level was self-adjusting via an automatic suspension system. Each train was 32.12 metres (105.4 ft) long, 2.06 metres (6 ft 9 in) wide, and 2.6 metres (8 ft 6 in) high.[3]
Set 1 was stored following a significant collision between it and Set 4 in early 2010. The last carriage in Set 1 was removed from the set, and used to replace the damaged last carriage in Set 4. When operations ceased in June 2013, sets 2 - 6 were operational.
The monorail operated in a single counterclockwise loop with stops at the following stations (in order):[17]
|Located adjacent to the Harbourside Shopping Centre at the western end of the Pyrmont Bridge
|Served the Sydney Convention and Exhibition Centre
|Paddy's Markets
|Formerly named Powerhouse Museum, and originally Haymarket
|Located inside the One Dixon Street shopping centre, opened in 2001 as Garden Plaza it closed on 26 July 2004,[18] and then reopened as Chinatown station on 18 December 2006[19] By 2012 the station was unmanned and only open between 07:00 and 09:00 on weekdays only,[20] with the station entrance locked outside these hours[21]
|World Square
|Temporary station in operation until 2005, when the station was rebuilt and incorporated into the new adjacent building
|Galeries Victoria
|Originally named Park Plaza. The temporary entrance provided until 2000, when the station was incorporated into the new adjacent building
|City Centre
|A temporary station existed until mid-1989, during construction of the City Centre Shopping Arcade, the temporary station was partially suspended above Pitt Street
|Darling Park
|Originally planned to be named Casino, but Sydney's casino was eventually built in Pyrmont
Maintenance and control facilities[edit]
The six monorail units were maintained in a purpose-built facility in Pyrmont. A traverser allowed monorail cars to be removed from the main track for maintenance or stabling. Maintenance of track and stations was conducted at night with special vehicles, 'Buggy' and 'Mule'.
The facility also housed the Control Room (located above the maintenance area), as well as administration and staff amenities.
The decision to build the monorail over other forms of rail (e.g. light rail) was in the eyes of many a political decision. Light rail would have been $20 million cheaper to build, service more passengers per hour and cost 40% less for a ticket, but the monorail system prevailed.[22]
On Thursday, 28 July 1988 an electrical fault caused the system to cease operating. Fifty passengers were stranded in carriages for two hours between 3:50 - 5:50 pm. TNT Harbourlink was criticised for failing to call emergency services until 5:40 - by the time the fire brigade arrived at the scene, the passengers were en route to disembarking at a station.[23]
In July 1992 monorail services were suspended due to a fire in a wool store building which caused a wall to collapse 'within metres' of TNT Harbourlink's central control room offices. [24]
On 27 February 2010 at approximately 16:00, two monorail trains collided at the Darling Park station resulting in hospitalisation of four people.[25][26]
On 24 September 2012 just before 14:00, an Ausgrid failure in a local underground cable led to a complete shutdown of the system resulting in the need for cherry-pickers to come to rescue approximately 100 stranded passengers, a process which took several hours. It was the first time since 2000 that Fire and Rescue NSW had to be called to help people from the line.[27]
Regarding the removal, the Transport for New South Wales released a document called "Monorail Removal Project Interpretation Strategy" in July 2013. In Volume I part 3.5 "Decommissioning the monorail", three quotes from 'Government Buys Light Rail Company: Monorail To Be Pulled Down', the media release by Premier Barry O'Farrell on 23 March 2012 are provided.[28]
"This is good news for Sydney - it delivers certainty for business wanting to invest in the Darling Harbour precinct and allows the efficient development of the light rail network," Mr O'Farrell said.
"The monorail is not integrated with Sydney's wider public transport network and has never been truly embraced by the community. While it has been a controversial part of Sydney's history for more than 20 years, the monorail is reaching the end of its economic life and the NSW Government cannot justify costly upgrades like the purchase of new vehicles required to keep it running.
"This decision paves the way for the development of a world class Sydney International Convention, Exhibition and Entertainment Precinct as the NSW Government gets on with the job of making NSW number one again."
Deputy Mayor of Hobart, Alderman, Ron Christie unsuccessfully asked the NSW government to donate the monorail to Hobart to allow it to be used on a route from the CBD to the northern suburbs.[29][30] Google purchased two carriages for use as meeting rooms at its Pyrmont office.[31][32][33]
The monorail was demolished in 2013.[9] Sixty steel beams were recycled to build a temporary bridge to take Brookhollow Avenue over Norwest station during its construction in 2014.[34]
In January 2015, 22 carriages were put up for sale on Gumtree Australia at $3,000 per carriage.[35] Many of these carriages were subsequently sold to an Australian expat now living in Taiwan. One was sold to a pair of radio hosts. Four, which comprise the only set of carriages preserved with all running gear that includes both a front and a rear carriage as well as middle carriages, other than the full train preserved by the Sydney Electric Train Society, were sold to a Sydney resident who plans to restore them to running condition.[36]
Eleven carriages from three of the six monorail trains have been preserved and two carriages converted.[37]

In popular culture[edit]
The Monorail system was used for scenes in The Saint: Fear in Fun Park and Mighty Morphin Power Rangers: The Movie, where one train set had "Angel Grove" painted on it. It was also briefly featured in the 1996 Australian film "Napoleon" and the 1999 Australian film Two Hands.

By Lance Trammell, CPA, Assurance Services Principal
On any given morning driving into the office I pass 3-4 construction sites. In just the last month I've seen a small office building be demolished, cleared, and a pad being laid for a new building. Commercial and residential construction continues to flourish in the DFW Metroplex. While this is great news, there is a down side to this trend that contractors must be on the lookout for.
History has shown that when construction is booming, companies may tend to spend more and pay less attention to costs because margins are high and cash flow is strong; only when activity starts to slow will they start paying closer attention to costs. Even in a good economy it is important not to overlook these costs. Contractors must keep track of how increases — or decreases — in profitability can affect the company. The following are ways for your company to maintain its profitability.
"Overhead" or "indirect costs" — expenses that aren't directly related to your projects — are easy to ignore. Examples of indirect costs include:
Other indirect costs include small tool, fuel and supply, and freight charges. Taxes, title transfers, permits, bonds and job insurance, and shop and marketing costs are all typically considered indirect costs, too.
If your construction company fails to properly allocate indirect job costs to projects, you're missing out on opportunities to recoup expenses and submit accurate bids. So how can you reduce these costs? Analyze indirect costs and their relationship to your operating results. This can help you determine which costs are fixed, which are variable and which are a little of both.
Changing fixed costs can be tough. Try negotiating with your lenders, landlords, utility providers, and others with whom you regularly do business. Look to trim variable costs by cutting out (or down on) unnecessary expenses.
Once you've done this, construct a budget for indirect costs to plan for the coming year. Regularly compare your budgeted amounts for indirect costs with your actual spending. If you're going over budget, look for ways to cut back.
It's easy to take for granted the management of construction receivables and payables. You do the construction work, generate an invoice, and send it out. Bills come in and you pay them as appropriate.
Consider your billing practices. Underbilling will not allow you to cover the costs incurred on the job. Advance billings that are too aggressive may leave you struggling with cash flow as the job winds down.
What if you're experiencing a cash flow shortage? If you've always paid vendors within 30 days, consider extending your payment cycles. Ask for a break from your creditors to help you handle the cash crunch and deal with cost overruns. Just as you're sometimes flexible with parties that owe you money, creditors may be willing to work with you.
Make sure to address change orders properly. Doing so can help protect and even bolster your bottom line. This means that you need to know your contract so you can quickly identify a change and how it differs from the original agreement.
Take the time to review your change order system. Having a written, signed, and authorized change order that will get you paid requires careful recordkeeping. Maintain daily reports, project correspondence, meeting minutes, schedules, cost records, photos, and other documentation to help indicate an operational change.
Finally, provide written notice and an explanation of how your revised work will affect the schedule and delivery date. Include a date on the notice to prove you gave owners plenty of time to adjust to the associated costs. Following these steps will help increase the likelihood you'll get paid for the extra work, without fighting a defense from the owners based on lack of notice.
As with any business, having a healthy bottom line is crucial for contractors. You may already be implementing some of the concepts here, and it may be time to start others. To keep your profitability on track, talk to your financial advisor.

"Always interesting"
I understand this was Kellerman's first Alex Delaware novel. The premise is dated to the era of the 1980s, but taken just for the storytelling, it is a good read. Quite a few characters, Kellerman's way of exploring different psyches. If you are a fan of Alex Delaware novels I think this is enjoyable. It is an important point in the ongoing development of the relationships that run throughout the series.
"When the Bough Breaks"
One of the better ones.
It is an easy listening story, well written and easy to follow but enough intrigue to keep you interested. Very well narrated too, good storytellers all round
He read it along similar veins to the way I may have if I read the book myself.
No, just an enjoyable listen.
"Tedious, trite and unbelievable."
I know this is an oldie, and we cannot judge it by Kellerman's recent work, but really, it was a little too preposterous. ALERT: There are scenes that describe graphic child sexual abuse here. There are words/phrases that would be unspeakable in today's sensitive times. But we cannot slight JK for that -- that was then and this is now.
No, my complaints are about the way the story unfolds. First there is some detective work that combines Milo & Alex, then Milo disappears and Alex is a psychologist, detective, and near-mercenary. There are some nice homey scenes between Milo and Alex and their respective amours, but not enough of them.
At any rate, the bad guys are rounded up and the most hated of them have stories to tell; long, stories, told in retrospect, as if it justified their adult behavior.
Alex treks to other states, gets in fights, shoots, captures and threatens people until the truth comes out. When it does, all the truths link up into a somewhat surprising outcome.
I am glad that JK decided to take the weapons away from Alex in his later, more mature books.
I know it was the launch of the series, so for me, having read all the subsequent books, this one lacks the cohesiveness and logic of the best and most modern of the Alex/Milo canon.
I would not recommend this book, however, because of the graphic descriptions of child sexual abuse. I would feel responsible to someone who read it on my recommendation and encountered this content. I would not recommend it to anyone who loves the Milo/Alex pairings because this one does not illustrate their relationship as we have come to expect.
For a first time reader of JK, it is always best to begin a series at the beginning, and this one, because of some of the content, might turn someone away.
I had to check to be sure, but there is a movie (1994) of the same title, which seems to include some aspects of this plot, though it doesn't seem an exact rendering.
"Every sentence artfully crafted, witty--a delight!"
I didn't remember Kellerman's novels being so incredibly well-written, witty, and so very thoroughly enjoyable! The narrator was perfect, but somehow I couldn't help but be reminded of the books by David Rosenfelt, and his Andy Carpenter character--could have been a brother to Alex Delaware. I loved Rosenfelt's clever books, and Kellerman somehow succeeds at bringing incredible depth of character, while artfully crafting every word and every sentence so that the result is an uninterrupted and hilarious delight.
Alex Delaware, a wise-cracking, self-effacing delight of a psychologist, best buddy of gay detective Milo Sturgis, somehow deduces his way into the midst of unsolvable crimes, and escapes by the skin of his teeth. It is a joy-ride to amble through peoples' minds with him.
I am going to stock up on more Kellerman books; I was sorry this ended!
"All tell, no show"
It kind of felt like watching an old '80s rerun of Magnum PI or Colombo.
Interesting potential for unique plot, character, setting, if told with a more interesting voice and focus.
The plot is revealed through long monologues by characters speaking about what they did. The prose is replete with grandiose superfluous verbiage, as if Kellerman is trying to write too hard. He also wants to describe each room and character in excruciating detail, which leaves no room for imagination, if you pay attention and don't drift off out of boredom.
"great listen "
twists and turns at every chapter. I can't wait for the next book to listen to.
"Breaks a part of the soul"
I love the way Kellerman begins to form the friendship between Delaware and Milo, it's a symbiotic relationship where everyone gets what they need to survive. These two men develop ot only a friendship, but a working magic which allows each to bring his strength and background to the table. Many men don't bond in that way.
"Twisted & Delicious "
It's obvious why this novel had to become the first in a "series"...it's that good on every level and the performance puts it over the top! The forthcoming Alex Delawares have now been
moved to the top of my wish list!
"Well done"
Loved the narrator. It was a well written mystery that held my attention. The book is an older book but enjoyable.

To understand anonymous VPS hosting better, you have to first understand what both VPS and dedicated server hosting are. A dedicated server provides security, dedicated resources, and privacy. You wouldn't need to be in competition with any websites for speed, storage space, and bandwidth. It's your own personal tiny island as far as the hosting ocean is concerned.
A VPS initiates an environment that is the same with that of a dedicated server, however, it's in a shared hosting environment. In other words, you are still sharing the physical server alongside other publishers, however, you have a little private space within that shared space. Therefore you are sharing an island alongside other natives, however, your area is demarcated from everyone else.
Why Use a VPS?
The majority of the new website owners begin ona shared hosting plan. This is made for small websites that do not demand too much. Immediately your site outgrows shared hosting, you will likely look in the direction of a VPS for the next step up. The essential part of VPS hosting is virtualization. The host shares one server into a lot of smaller virtual servers, each one having their own chunk of hard drive space and RAM. When a client adopts one of these aforementioned virtual servers, they go through anexperience that is more isolated, since their virtual server cannot be affected by other clients. (It's important to point out that you still share a few things with your fellow client.)
VPS hosting is perfect for small establishments that would like a little rest of mind and be willing to pay for it. If you have to know that your website would not be dragged down by an offensive neighbor, an anonymous VPS will be worth the additional spend.
VPS hosting is an awesome compromise between dedicated and shared hosting:

Although the recipe uses homemade custard it works well and is significantly easier if you use Bird's Instant Custard (must be Bird's). You can also make it the night before serving and leave it in the fridge to chill well - this works better than making it the same day. Also sherry works well instead of Scotch.
- Yield
- 6 people
- Custard
- 2 2/3 cups half and half
- 6 egg yolks
- 3/4 cup firmly packed dark brown sugar
- 3 tablespoons all purpose flour
- 1 1/2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 1 cup plus 2 tablespoons chilled whipping cream?
- Trifle
- 1 1-pound frozen pound cake, thawed, cut into 3/4-inch cubes
- 6 tablespoons Scotch whisky
- 1 cup raspberry jam (about 10 1/2 ounces)
- 2 1/2-pint baskets fresh raspberries or 2 12-ounce bags frozen unsweetened raspberries, thawed. Reserve a few good rasps for decoration.
- 2 cups chilled whipping cream
- 3 tablespoons sugar
- Semisweet chocolate, or Cadbury flakes, curled or grated
- For custard: Scald half and half in heavy medium saucepan. Whisk yolks, sugar and flour in top of double boiler until smooth. Gradually whisk in hot half and half. Set over boiling water and stir until custard is very thick and mounds when dropped from spoon, about 6 minutes. Set top of double boiler over ice and chill custard, whisking occasionally. Mix in vanilla. Fold cream mixture into cold custard in 2 additions. (Can be prepared 1 day ahead. Cover and refrigerate.) For trifle: Place pound cake cubes in 3-quart trifle bowl or glass bowl. Sprinkle with 6 tablespoons Scotch and toss. Heat jam in heavy small saucepan until just pourable. Reserve half of pound cake. Spoon half of jam over remaining cake and spread. Top with half of custard. Top with 1 basket or 1 package raspberries, making sure some berries show at sides of bowl. Place remaining pound cake cubes over custard. Layer fruit over. Top with remaining custard. Whip cream and sugar in large bowl to stiff peaks. Mound cream atop trifle. Garnish with fresh raspberries and chocolate. After Bon Appétit, December 1990

Distinguished University of Maine alumna Ester Serrao is one of 11 U.S. and international marine scientists named by the Pew Charitable Trusts as 2017 Pew Marine Fellows to "seek solutions to the problems affecting the world's oceans."
As a marine fellow, Serrao will identify hot spots of genetic diversity in populations of kelp and other large brown algae that form unique habitats known as marine forests, with a goal of protecting these vital natural resources, according to the Pew Charitable Trusts announcement of the prestigious award for mid-career scientists and conservationists.
Serrao did her Ph.D. research on rockweed communities in the Gulf of Maine and in the Baltic Sea. Her studies explained how marine organisms that attach to the shore in Maine's intertidal zone are able to reproduce, despite living in a wave-swept habitat.

Mitsubishi Motors Philippines Corporation (MMPC) encourages owners of the previous generation Montero Sport to avail of their "Free Inspection Campaign," a preventive effort against the alleged Sudden Unintended Acceleration (SUA) that made headlines last year.
10,835 units have been inspected as of March 31, 2016, with none exhibiting SUA according to MMPC. Owners may visit any Mitsubishi dealer nationwide to avail of the service and get a "Certificate of Quality Reassurance" after the inspection.
The Montero Sport made headlines last year after a string of incidents caused by sudden acceleration and brake failure. The Department of Trade and Industry (DTI) conducted an investigation, which ended in looking for a third-party company to conduct a rigorous testing on the SUV.
On April 22, 2016, DTI declared a 'Failure of Bidding' in its procurement for a third-party investigator for the SUA issue. Only one company presented and it failed to give necessary documents that will prove it has completed a similar project beforehand.
For their part, Mitsubishi put in a Forward Collision Mitigation System in the all-new Montero Sport. It will apply the necessary brake pressure if the driver is not aware of an imminent collision. There's also 7-airbags now available inside the cabin, protecting all passengers.
For more information on the all-new Montero Sport, visit the AutoDeal Car Guide.

Let's face it, when celebrities date each other, it often doesn't work out. We all saw the debacles of Ashton Kutcher vs. Demi Moore, Alec Baldwin vs. Kim Basinger and Kim Kardashian vs. Kris Humphries. But when celebrities date the normal folk, things sometimes end up better.
Celebrities don't always marry fellow celebs. Many famous people, for whatever personal reason they have, prefer to be married to a spouse who isn't generally in the limelight. Of course, sometimes celebrities weren't celebrities when they choose their other halves, in which case they wouldn't have had to think through this possibility in the first place. The most heart-warming stories though are of couples that simply fell in love, without taking anything except their feelings into account. When their marriages last, it is indeed an inspiration. And sometimes they do!

On Fridays, I've been hitting various upper body parts. Mainly chest, back and some arms. This morning's workout was unique and very quick.
Push & Pull Workout
Bench Press:
7 sets x 10, 8, 5, 4, 4, 4, 25 reps
7 sets x 10 reps
5 sets x 20 reps
Standing Calve Raises:
5 sets x 10 reps
I had planned on supersetting but I've been doing that all week so I decided to mix it up. I wanted to move a little weight this morning so I went heavy on bench with multiple sets (ending with a high rep set with 225 lbs). After that, I merged into some body weight exercises: pull-ups and dips. I ended with calves and cardio.
Meal Planning
I also wanted to make you aware of my Meal Plans if you haven't checked these out. I want to give special attention to my '2500 Calorie Meal Plan.' I'm not a big fan of calorie counting (not saying it's ineffective, I just personally don't follow it). But it is an irrefutable way to monitor your diet.
You can check out the details at the link below. Also, my meal plans are intended to be used as guides. Take what I have and build on it. My plan is to give you tips and teach you how to fish so you can feed yourself, literally!

Meidan Emam, Esfahan
Meidan Emam, Esfahan is one of the largest city squares in the world. The square is surrounded by important historical buildings from the Safavid era.
The Shah Mosque is situated on the south side of this square. On the west side you can find Ali Qapu Palace. Sheikh Lotf Allah Mosque is situated on the eastern side of this square and the northern side opens into the Isfahan Grand Bazaar.

The fact that the Meidan Emam was inscribed so early in the life of World Heritage is hardly a surprise; this square is the darling of the Iranian tourism industry, and rightly so. An interesting point to consider is this timing of the submission and acceptance of this site to the World Heritage List; the 1979 World Heritage Convention occurred in May, only a few months after the Islamic Revolution. The reference in the ICOMOS evaluation of 1979, and the other 1979 documents available on the UNESCO website, makes reference to the 'Meidan-e Shah', and the 'Shah Mosque', without any mention of the renaming of these components by the new regime. I guess the new Islamic Republic valued the prestige of the nomination enough to still accept it, though evidently with a name change, as the 1988 report makes no mention of the deposed shah. I am unsure of the precise nature of this process of naming; probably an unreported element of the 1979 convention?
The square, apart from the open space itself, has three main components. The obvious first stop is the Ali Qapu Palace, renowned more for its view of the square than for its own sake. This is unsurprising; while the palace has some nice ornamentation, especially on the top floor, the view is the real star here.
The Sheikh Lotfollah Mosque , directly opposite the palace, is unusual in that it has no courtyard or minaret, and comprises simply of a corridor and prayer room beneath the dome. This is a very impressive room, supposedly designed as a private chamber for royal concubines, but was completely crowded when I was there after lunch time. This was quite a detraction from the atmosphere. Given the popularity of Isfahan, arriving at opening time to a particularly desired attraction seems to the most sensible approach
The Emam Mosque, still often called the Shah Mosque, is the most striking component of the square, with its large façade and towering dome. I arrived at opening time to have it to myself. Within 15 minutes, however, 6 separate tour groups were competing for space. Unlike the Masjid-e Jame, this was a significant concern, as immense restoration works are currently underway. Overhearing an English-speaking guide, retiling work started a week prior to my visit (10 April 2016). The result of this was the covering of about 90% of the central courtyard of the mosque with a low tarpaulin ceiling, with about 20% of that remaining space being covered during my presence by ongoing work. This meant that all visitors were crowded beneath this section, trying to get a view of the dome. Within a couple of days, I expect this to be completely covered, which I imagine would severely impact the enjoyability of the site. By the scale of the tile restoration, I assume covering will exist for quite some time.
The square itself is worth seeing at all times of the day, with the Palace particularly impressive while illuminated after dark.
Svetoslav Lalov, Bulgaria
This square is the most beautiful palce in the world and believe me you can not compare sitting there for a break to doing it at any other- european or else place.

Have you ever heard teachers talk about how they have loads and loads of free time during the school day with which to carefully address social issues such as self esteem, kindness, and bullying? Yeah, me neither! This is the dilemma that I have personally encountered many times in the classroom. As teachers, we of course want to ensure that our students master the academics, but we also want them to be well-rounded, productive members of the world at large, too. Especially now, as schools and districts move toward new systems of teacher evaluation, teachers want to cover everything, but feel immense pressure to cover that which is directly tested. Social learning is a gray area much of the time, though no one would disagree that students who feel safe, secure, and valued in their school environment can more easily focus on academic learning. Enter integrated lesson plans!
I am thrilled to be offering some fully-developed (and free!) lesson plans written by yours truly over at Michelle's new site Teaching Kindness that align with both the new Common Core Standards as well as the CT state framework while reinforcing important themes such as kindness, acceptance, and empathy. My goal was to develop lessons that provide a time and space for the discussion of social issues while still fully addressing the appropriate standards. The first is a third grade lesson plan about helping those in need in your own community that addresses two Common Core literacy standards and one CT social studies standard. The second is a Common Core literacy lesson for 6th-8th grade that helps students practice using a respectful and supportive tone when writing for an audience of their own peers– something with which I'm sure we can all agree middle school and junior high students could use practice! Want to use one in your own classroom? Simply print it out! Make copies and share them with your colleagues! Make sure to tell us if you use them, and we'd love to feature you over at Teaching Kindness!
I've always felt strongly that educators need to provide scaffolding and guidance to their students when it comes to to the social world. So much research supports the fact that students who feel comfortable in their school and community are more readily able to master academic tasks, and it's our job to help create schools that give students the tools for social, as well as academic, success. I'm thrilled to collaborate with Michelle on this new endeavor to help this important cause.
Stay tuned, more lesson plans will be coming in the near future!
