HTD Biosystems offers an exciting product for formulation development called the iFormulate plate.
iFormulate is a plate pre-loaded with formulations designed by DOE for rational formulation development.
It evaluates the 4 major variables of any protein formulation; pH, ionic strength, buffer and stabilizer concentration using multivariate experimental design.
The process goes like this: ADD your protein to the formulations, STRESS the formulations in the iFormulate plate to partially destabilize the protein, and COLLECT the data from each formulation using stability-indicating assay(s).
Email the data to email@example.com and receive a DOE analysis report on Pareto analysis (ranking of key variables), optimal pH, ionic strength, stabilizer and buffer concentration for your protein.
The iFormulate Advantage
- Saves time, resources, and money without compromising on QUALITY. Estimated savings of more than 70%
- Minimum number of trials giving you the maximum amount of information!
- No need to make up the formulations.
- Just need 1-5 mg protein.
- No need to know DOE analysis, we do that for you and send you the results in a format that you can understand.
- Provides a justification and rationale for your formulation selection.
iFormulate Principle
iFormulate was conceived for the purpose of providing the formulation scientist a pre-designed formulation plate for assessing the stability of a protein drug using DOE (Design of Experiments) methodology. The basic plate consists of 20 unique formulation and 5 replicate formulations (for statistical data verification). The formulations are placed randomly to remove any bias. The DOE is a response-surface multivariate design that evaluates the effect of pH, ionic strength, buffer and stabilizer concentration on the protein of interest.
What is iFormulate ?
It is a pre-designed formulation plate loaded with unique formulations to evaluate the importance of key formulation variables, such as pH, ionic strength, buffer concentration, and stabilizer concentration. Use of the iFormulate plate does not require any training in DOE methodology or statistics BUT does require you to know how to analyze your protein and what is/are the crucial stability-indicating assays. It also saves you time in preparation of 20 unique formulations as these have already been prepared for you.
The use of the iFormulate process requires adding your protein to the various formulations (25 total wells in a 96-well plate), stressing your protein to destabilize it or aggregate it a bit, and analyzing the 25 formulations using your stability-indicating assay(s).
Send us your results and we will analyze your data and send you a report on what are the key variables for a stable formulation.

I had to beat two Federers, says Sergiy Stakhovsky
Stakhovsky, who became an Internet hit last month for whipping out his mobile phone to take a photo of a controversial line call on the clay of the French Open, has four tour titles to his name. He was also 31 in the world three years ago.
Sergiy Stakhovsky speaks five languages and reads classic Russian literature for fun but on Wednesday he mastered a greater challenge -- puncturing the Roger Federer legend.
The beanpole Ukrainian's stunning 6-7 (5/7), 7-6 (7/5), 7-5, 7-6 (7/5) second round win over the seven-time Wimbledon champion was one of the greatest shocks in the history of the sport.
It was Federer's worst Grand Slam loss since a first round exit at the 2003 French Open and the defending champion's earliest Wimbledon defeat since a second round loss in 2002.
The Wimbledon third seed had made 36 consecutive Grand Slam quarter-final appearances, having not gone out of a major before the last eight since the 2004 French Open.
For world number 116 Stakhovsky, it was a first win over a top 10 opponent in 21 attempts.
Such was the enormity of the challenge that he even resorted to the dying art of serve and volley.
"When you come here, on the cover of the Wimbledon book is Roger Federer," said Stakhovsky, the 27-year-old son of Kiev academics.
"You're playing the guy and then you're playing his legend, which is following him because he won it seven times.
"You're playing two of them. When you're beating one, you still have the other one who is pressing you. You're saying, Am I about to beat him? Is it possible?"
Stakhovsky, who became an Internet hit last month for whipping out his mobile phone to take a photo of a controversial line call on the clay of the French Open, has four tour titles to his name.
He was also 31 in the world three years ago.
He counts the likes of Pete Sampras and Pat Rafter for the serve-and-volley blueprint he mastered so well on Centre Court on Wednesday.
"Well, you can't really keep up with Roger on grass on baseline rallies. It's just impossible, I would say, especially here," explained Stakhovsky.
"He feels the grass. He feels the slice. He can do whatever he wants with the ball.
"The only tactics I have is press as hard as I can on my serve and come in as much as I can. The shorter it is, the less rhythm he got.
"I think I was successful enough that he didn't get into the returning rhythm, only somewhere in the middle of the fourth set did he find it."
Despite shattering Federer's hopes of a record eighth Wimbledon title, Stakhovsky, who goes on to face Austria's unseeded Jurgen Melzer for a place in the last 16, still praised Federer the man.
"Our sport is Roger Federer. He's the greatest player we had. He's the biggest name we had and we still have, thank God," he said.
"And I think as a person he showed us that you can be a decent man achieving a lot of things and still be a person who everybody admires."

Addressing your invitations doesn't seem like a difficult or confusing task.
If the people you are addressing the envelope to have the usual titles (Mr., Mrs., Miss, or Ms.) it is usually pretty simple (although a bit time consuming).
But what to do when one, or both, have "official" titles (ex. Lieutenant or Doctor) instead of the usual Mr. or Mrs.?
Here are 3 scenarios to help you crack the code:
1) For a couple with different last names, the woman is traditionally listed first (ex. Miss (or Ms.) Sarah Smith and Mr. Matthew Jones).
However, when one has a rank or other "official" title, their name will be listed first (Captain Matthew Jones and Ms. Sarah Smith, Doctor Sarah Smith and Mr. Matthew Jones).
2) For a couple with the same last name the person with a title other than Mr., Mrs., Miss, or Ms. would be listed first. (Lieutenant and Mr. Susan and Marvin Brown, Doctor and Mrs. Michael Johnson and Lisa Davis).
3) For a couple who both have "official" titles there are a few "sub-rules"
- are their last names the same or different?
- are their titles both military, both civilian, or one is military and the other civilian?
- are they being invited as a couple (meaning are you close to both) or is one the "and guest"
For a couple whose last names are different, and their titles are both military and civilian, the military title takes precedence over a civilian title, (Captain Linda Wilson and Doctor James Moore, Captain Charles Lewis and Doctor Sandra Allen).
If their last name is the same, the man is listed first (Doctor Daniel and Captain Nancy Clark).
Unless she is your invited guest and he is her "plus one," then she is listed first (Doctor Karen Jones and Captain Paul Young).
Hope this helps in your wedding invitation addressing endeavors.
Hearts, Joy, Love!

I've been seeing a guy at uni for the last few months with us getting closer in the last few weeks.
We are not exclusive & not together
We slept in the same bed every night, hung out most the day & he said 'i love you' before leaving
Now he has gone back home & I graduate.
I'm worried what will happen now that we'll be apart.
I'm scared he'll fall for a girl back home & stop talking to me & i don't know how to make it happen
These are a few of our recent convos, he never really messages first though...
Where is this going?

I hope things work out with you and this guy. How far apart will you and him be? If the distance is super far then it may fade away because of the distance. I think he would have to be fully motivated to talk to you. He does for now with those messages. But things change sometimes when people go back home.00|00|0

HOUSTON {AP}-- A jury has sentenced a 28-year-old Houston man to death for last year's killing of his ex-girlfriend and a rival for her affections.
Charles Victor Thompson, who carried a large Bible during the last day of his trial on capital murder charges, glanced at his father with a shocked look on his face when the sentence was announced Friday. The jury deliberated eight hours.
Thompson killed Dennise Hayslip, 39, and Darren Keith Cain, 30, on April 30, 1998, at Ms. Hayslip's home in north Harris County. He shot Cain twice in the chest, once in the shoulder and once in the back of the neck. He shot Ms. Hayslip once in the face.
According to trial testimony, Ms. Hayslip told Thompson on the day of the shootings that she wanted to be with Cain, and the men fought. Police escorted Thompson from the property, but he returned later with a gun. He kicked in the door, shot Cain and then Ms. Hayslip, prosecutors said.
Jurors deliberated more than four hours on Wednesday before returning a guilty verdict against Thompson.
During the punishment phase, the jury learned that while in jail awaiting trial, Thompson tried to hire a hitman to kill a witness. But the purported killer-for-hire was actually an undercover law enforcement officer.
Jurors also saw letters Thompson wrote his brother from jail, dotted with racial slurs and his expressed desire to join the Aryan Brotherhood in prison.

JERUSALEM (Reuters) - Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said on Wednesday Syria must be stripped of its chemical weapons and that the international community must make sure those who use weapons of mass destruction pay a price.
Speaking at a military ceremony, Netanyahu said Syria had carried out a "crime against humanity" by killing innocent civilians with chemical weapons and that Syria's ally Iran, who is at odds with the West over its nuclear program, was watching to see how the world acted.
"It must be ensured that the Syrian regime is stripped of its chemical weapons, and the world must make sure that whoever uses weapons of mass destruction pays a price for it," Netanyahu said. "The message that is received in Syria will be received loudly in Iran."
Taking the stage after Netanyahu, Defence Minister Moshe Yaalon reiterated Israel's position that in confronting regional threats, "at the end of the day, we have to trust in ourselves, in our strength and in our ability to deter".
The remarks came after Syria accepted a Russian proposal that it give up its chemical stockpiles in the face of possible U.S. military action. It denies carrying out the chemical attack.
Israel views the civil war in neighboring Syria almost entirely through the prism of Iran, which it believes is trying to develop an atomic bomb. Iran denies it wants nuclear weapons and says its nuclear program is for civilian purposes.
Netanyahu has called on world powers to strengthen sanctions on Iran and has repeatedly said Tehran would only curb its nuclear activities if it faced a credible military threat. Israel is widely believed to have the Middle East's only nuclear arsenal.

Thoughts After Reading:
Anne Avery's Summer Fancy caught my eye because it reminded me of the books I've been reading by Pamela Morsi: both are set in a small American town during the late 1800s, and both seemed to have a similar sweet and endearing romance vibe going on. Well, it turns out I was mostly right. Summer Fancy puts an early American spin on the well used "plain Jane" theme, and almost pulls it off. To the novel's credit, it contained plenty of comedy. The chapters are interspersed with journal entries written by the hero, and his perspective on events can be quite funny. The romance is sweet, starting almost immediately and allowing for many charming moments between the protagonists. There's several meaningful friendships that are formed as well. But the further I read into the story, the less charmed I became. The humor came at the cost of lowering my opinion of the two main characters, and I hated how the main conflict of the romance was handled - a serious problem, when the conflict takes up the last third of the book.
At the age of twenty-six, the heroine is firmly in place as the town's spinster. She's tall, flat-chested, and her overbearing mother scares away any possible suitor by throwing them at her. The heroine tends to have a no-nonsense attitude about life, well at odds with her hopelessly romantic heart. She's extremely attracted to the hero upon first meeting, but is initially disappointed by his passive nature - his personality is nothing like the heroes she's read about. She continues to find him desirable, however, and - after several embarrassing incidences where they accidentally collide with each other - begins to pursue him. For his part, the hero also becomes attracted to the heroine almost right away. He admires her eyes and easygoing attitude, yet is unsure of her affection and doesn't feel he can marry until he becomes better off financially. It seemed implausible how quickly the hero became attracted to the heroine - despite her lackluster looks, she's giving him erections before he really comes to know her much at all. I liked the hero, in some respects. Even though he's considered the most handsome man in the county, he's considerate, shy, and still a virgin. However, his actions took the label "beta hero" to a whole new level. It was annoying when he allowed the local harridans to walk all over him, and even more frustrating when he barely made effort to progress the relationship he wanted so dearly or fix the relationship when it became broken. I was often conflicted: on one hand, it was sweet that the handsome hero was worried about asking the plain heroine to a cup of lemonade. On the other hand, there were a number of times when I simply wanted to tell him to man up. The poorly manged conflict was so cliche: the hero's uncertain about proposing, the couple make love, the couple are discovered, the heroine does not want to the hero to be forced to marry her. Cue the angsty music. This conflict is dragged on and on, until finally the hero tries to make a grand romantic gesture and suddenly the months of unhappiness are fixed. The end.
It's hard for me to put into words exactly what I didn't like about Anne Avery's Summer Fancy, probably because there was so much I did like. I liked the humor, I liked some of the more genuine interactions between various characters, and the protagonists did have their endearing moments. As a whole, however, I felt the book never quite came together: I didn't fully buy into the relationship between the main characters, there was never much holding them apart, and the conflict of the book was a tremendous disappointment. Summer Fancy is not, unfortunately, a romance novel I can recommend.

By Kielon Hilaire. These days it often seems that everyone wants to change something – their hair, job, car, and even their overall identity. You see a world filled with people who could end up changing everything but the progression of the world itself. Here is a person who is capable of changing many things for better with simple actions.
Patricia Rampersad will get someone to quit smoking, stop swearing and straying from a destructive life without doing much. She enjoys socialising, mentoring and transforming the minds of individuals, especially those young and still developing. People notice her gentle demeanour, non-judgemental attitude and what she stands for. She can change the world.
I once witnessed an incident when she was the assistant manager of a popular video game store and a well-dressed man anxiously got rid of his cigarette before approaching her at the counter. He told her that he had great respect for her. At the time there was "Jesus music" playing in the background, so some may think that her faith is what influences people to live better lives.
A medium for change
She has a loving husband, two beautiful girls and she is an aspiring librarian from the borough of Arima. She is pursuing her degree in Library and Information studies at the College of Science, Technology and Applied Arts of Trinidad and Tobago (COSTAATT), where she is currently employed at the school's library. She states, "Librarians are the custodians of our culture and are our future assets in the continuous educational system because they are challenged daily to find creative ways of retrieving different sets of information and using it to best satisfy the requests of endless professions." Today, Patricia accepts that she can be a medium for change and likes being a beacon of light and hope to others.
She recalls her life growing up that may have contributed to her peaceful persona. As a child (one of six siblings) she used to visit the Cleaver Woods Recreational Park every Sunday to bathe and fill drinking water. Her July and August vacations were usually spent in Paria Bay enjoying the lovely view of springs, rivers, and eating great tasting mammy apples, padoos, cocoas, sugar apples and sapodillas.
She also remembers going to Gran Riviere later on in life and witnessing a leatherback turtle, in a trance-like state, laying eggs and carefully burying them in the sand, after which the turtle patted them neatly with her fin. These memories helped her appreciate nature and life, arguably the two most important things needed for consistently embracing positive change.
Patricia also has a vision for Trinidad and Tobago's culture and it is to see more homes unite, more people have a greater love for God and mankind and she hopes to someday assist in establishing a community development programme in each area of the country so that everyone can help keep our beautiful T&T sweet.

Detailed diet analysis and suggestions
Pantry makeover
Grocery store tours
Cooking tutorials

Power is a word which conjures so many images in people. The average person often has an ambivalent relationship towards power. All of us are influenced by power in one way or another. All of us as children were subjected to the power of our older siblings, parents, and/or other adult authority figures. Some authority figures, including parents, used their power benevolently while others used it negatively.
There is no escaping power. Power in itself is neither negative nor positive. Power is wholy dependent upon the person using it. Power is not necessarily limited to the wealthy and/or influential. Everyone has power, even the least significant among us, whether he/she knows it or not.
Many people are unaware of their own personal power, often being inculcated from early childhood by parents, teachers, and religious authorities to give their power away to authority figures because such figures seem "to know better" and/or "have more expertise". Societies such as Nazi Germany came to such ruinous ends because people decided to surrender their power to one person.
There are people who routinely surrender their power to religious figures and politicians. They believe that they are quite insignificant within themselves. They displaced their feelings of self-worth and near worship the particular religious figure and politician, believing that he/she will have the solution to societal problems and ills. This surrendering and giving away one's power often denotes passiviity, a need to be rescued, and not to take responsibility for one's life.
Yes, power is the all catch word. Everyone has power; however, most people will never realize it until it is too late. Do you agree with this premise? Let's discuss!
I believe many people that we have labeled as "powerful" were really only weilding brute force. Brute force is the lowest form of "power" there is. Yes, people can be and are seriously harmed by brute force; and its related cousins of manipulation, deceit, etc.. If we never realize how much of this "power" we have but have not used, so much the better. The highest form of "power" is love manifested in its truest form. Nothing can conquer someone forgiving someone of a heinous crime committed against them, manipulating them into a harmful action they do not want to take, deceiving them about the value of something sold to them, etc. This power/this love can only be learned from the God of love, YHVH; and it is still true, many do not realize it until very late or not at all.
You have presented an excellent premise. The late Dr. David Hawkins discussed the concept of power in one of his books, Power vs. Force. Dr. Hawkins clearly delineated that force is an extreme and negative use of power. Power is neither positive nor positive but is wholly dependent upon the person using it. People with higher consciousness use power to help others and to empower themselves while people in the lower states of consciousness use power to enforce their will upon others.
The power of love, driven by determination, can be one of the most formidable forces imaginable. In the example I have in mind the power is wielded by a young adult, occupying a twisted and powerless body that would appear to be that of an 8 year old. Multiple disabilities, forming a long list of challenges, including cognitive and communicative limitations, still do not limit this power. Loving parents dedicated to her comfort, health and every need, aided by a gracious God, will stop at nothing to make sure her life is as good as they can possibly provide. Pity the doctor, social worker, health worker, attorney or any other who stands in opposition. To see her you would think she has no power. Don't be fooled.
Power, in the broadest and simplest concept is being able to accomplish any one particular thing.
Absolute Power then would means you can what soever you like, whenever you like...
Which is basically absolute freedom.
Now in examining freedom, we can see the nature of Power.
The man who is absolutely free, will always be at Rest...
Rest because with the ability to any and everything, the likelihood of doing no thing is great,
While at the same time, the decision to do any particular thing is never a struggle.
So understanding the action of Absolute Power might be deceptive to the observer, because it can easily be misconstrued as inaction.
We all have power, however a single man's power is not enough to stand up to that of many. That is where the problem lies.

Henry Ward Beecher Quotes About MercyQuotes about: Mercy
There is a dew in one flower and not in another, because one opens in cup and takes it in, while the other closes itself, and the drops run off. God rains His goodness and mercy as widespread as the dew, and if we lack them, it is because we will not open our hearts to receive them.
If one should give me a dish of sand, and tell me there were particles of iron in it, I might look for them with my eyes, and search for them with my clumsy fingers, and be unable to detect them; but let me take a magnet and sweep through it, and how would it draw to itself the almost invisible particles by the mere power of attraction. The unthankful heart, like my finger in the sand, discovers no mercies; but let the thankful heart sweep through the day, and as the magnet finds the iron, so it will find, in every hour, some Heavenly blessings...
Men will imitate and admire his unmoved firmness, his inflexible conscience for the right; and yet his gentleness, as tender as a woman's, his moderation of spirit, which not all the heat of party could inflame, nor all the jars and disturbances of this country shake out of its place: I swear you to an emulation of his justice, his moderation, and his mercy.

Pages: 208
Format: E-book
I LOVE Elizabeth Strout's writing! Olive Kitteridge is one of my favorite books, and this reminded me of that novel in the beginning, but it was a very different kind of book. Olive Kitteridge is a collection of short stories which involved characters in the same town whose lives intersected, some in very major, others minor ways. This book was told by a single narrator and even though it was divided into chapters, it flowed like one continuous story. The writing is profound and soul-searching, and her characters are so deeply human. Such depth of emotion and feeling are felt while reading this.
My name is Lucy Barton begins with the narrator reflecting on a particular time in her life when she was hospitalized for appendicitis which becomes complicated by mysterious persistent fevers following the surgery. This was a pivotal point in the a narrator's life to reflect back on her childhood with the poverty and abuse that accompanied it and well as project forward into the future as to what she wanted from life and what was to become her life.
There is a powerful dialogue between Lucy and her mother within the hospital and during this, what goes unsaid is just as important, maybe more important than what is said. The mother tells Lucy story after story of failing marriages, but there is hardly a mention of Lucy's father.
Sarah Payne, a character in the novel later tells Lucy of her writing about this time period: " This is a story about love, you know that. This is a story of a man who has been tortured every day of his life for things he did in the war. This is the story of a wife who stayed with him, because most wives did in that generation, and she comes to her daughter's hospital room and talks compulsively about everyone's marriage going bad, she doesn't even know it, doesn't even know what she's doing. This is a story about a mother who loves her daughter. Imperfectly. Because we all love imperfectly." This quote speaks to the major theme of the book so well: it is about how love can coexist with abuse, neglect, poverty. The book also speaks to memory and how we can all remember things differently. How we may choose to hide certain memories or pretend things never happened to cover up for the people we love. It is shocking towards the end, that she speaks with her brother and sister regularly and how much they choose not to speak about or ask each other about. Lucy Barton is reminded by Sarah Payne, "to go to the page without judgement" reminding her "that we never knew, and never would know, what it would be like to understand another person fully."
Another quote from the book that I really liked: "It interests me how we find ways to feel superior to another person, another group of people. It happens everywhere, and all the time. Whatever we call it, I think it's the lowest part of who we are, this need to find someone else to put down." Throughout the book, Lucy feels distanced and alienated from others because of her poor upbringing. She and her family were ignored by others in town, and when she went off to college, she often felt that others made comments conveying that they were feeling superior to her circumstances. She comments to her friend, Jeremy, that she envied the men with HIV, because at least they had a community. She even feels distanced from her husband by the different circumstances of their upbringing.
This book is filled with love, but also with feelings of melancholy, sadness, fear, terror, loneliness, abandonment. The characters, feelings, relationships and sentiments are described in such a real, human manner, that the book is very affecting. I highly recommend this book to anyone, but do think it would appeal more to women. It was a book that I did not want to end because I loved it so much, but it was just perfect the way it was! A huge !!!!!!!
Discussion Questions:
- If you have read other Elizabeth Strout novels, which is your favorite and why?
- Why do you think Lucy experienced so much loneliness throughout her life?
- Why do you think teaching was so exhausting for Sarah Payne?
- What do you suppose Sarah was hiding from her writing?
- Do you think Lucy should be somewhat responsible for helping her siblings out?
- There were many horrifying memories of Lucy as well as others, like her friend, Molla. Was there one that struck you particularly? In what way do you think Molla and Lucy's childhood memories were similar?
- Jeremy tells Lucy to "be ruthless as a writer." What do you think he means by this? Do you believe that Lucy follows his advice?
- What do you imagine Lucy's mother's childhood to have been like?
- In what way or ways do Lucy and her siblings suffer abuse from their father?

The Seventh Sizzle
Seven sanguine pegs,
Coked to cool sizzle,
Syrupy, sweet, savoury
After a football game,
Three goals glory,
Alas! None I scored;
First peg quietly quenches,
Second warms severed sinews,
Third numbs the fatigued pains;
Fathomless joy springs with fourth,
Each words a humour's note
Laughter like Jackal's night!
Fifth and sixth like sisters drunk,
Tittle-tattle in endless chatter;
Frozen hours, fumbled words,
Seventh sip like poison sipped,
Sinews sleep in sickly ache,
Sanguine night no more sizzle!!

An outstanding infantryman, large and cheerful with great presence, House succeeded General Sir Frank King as GOC in August 1975 amid a wave of tit-for-tat killings by the IRA — which had officially called a truce — and Loyalist paramilitaries. Days before, three of the Miami Showband, one of the Republic's most popular groups, had been gunned down by a gang which turned out to include off-duty members of the Ulster Defence Regiment.
The Secretary of State, Merlyn Rees, sought with House and other security chiefs to marginalise the terrorists through a policy of "Ulsterisation" and "criminalisation". They advocated the disengagement as far as possible of the Army's non-Ulster regiments and replacing them with the Royal Ulster Constabulary and the UDR.
If the number of Army casualties could be reduced, Rees felt, the pressure in Britain for withdrawal from the province would diminish. The strategy was also designed to change perceptions of the conflict from a colonial war to a campaign against criminal gangs.
Before Rees and House could make much progress, the deteriorating situation led House to call up UDR reservists over Christmas 1975 and put extra troops into the "bandit country" of South Armagh. Weeks later the IRA ended its ceasefire, and violence surged. The British ambassador in Dublin, Christopher Ewart-Biggs, was assassinated and IRA prisoners began the "blanket protest" which would culminate in a prolonged hunger strike.
In September 1976 Roy Mason took over from Rees. He adopted a tougher strategy, aimed at taking the war to the IRA. By the time Timothy Creasey replaced House in November 1977, deaths from terrorism in the province had more than halved; senior Republicans would later admit that they had come "close to being beaten".
Retiring from the Army, in 1978 House was appointed Gentleman Usher of the Black Rod, the Royal functionary responsible for the ceremonial, security and operations of the House of Lords. Politics was in a fervid state, with James Callaghan's Labour government surviving without a majority, and Margaret Thatcher's Conservatives doing all they could to dislodge it. The tensions heightened after Mrs Thatcher took office in 1979 and embarked on radical and controversial policies.
Black Rod traditionally summons the Commons to the Lords for the Queen's Speech and the prorogation of Parliament, and — just as traditionally — the door of the chamber is slammed in his face to emphasise the independence of the Commons. After he knocks three times, it is reopened.
But when House arrived at the Commons on the evening of December 13 1980 to summon MPs for prorogation, the door was slammed in earnest. Forty Labour MPs, livid that Michael Heseltine, the Environment Secretary, had announced a plan to increase council rents just too late for a statement to be made in the Commons, refused to let Black Rod in — with plans to rugby-tackle him if he got through.
Labour and Conservative MPs jostled at the Bar of the House until Norman St John-Stevas, Leader of the House, secured the temporary withdrawal of Heseltine's proposals. Only then was House, who had waited with baffled dignity, allowed to enter the chamber.
Ministers seized on the episode as an example of Labour "lawlessness", but Downing Street was furious with Heseltine and his department for slipping out a controversial announcement of which it had been totally unaware. Bernard Ingham, Mrs Thatcher's press secretary, decreed that in future departments must inform Number 10 of any planned announcements, and normally make them only when the Commons was sitting.
House continued as Black Rod until 1985 without his authority again being challenged.
David George House was born at Steyning, Sussex, on August 8 1922 and educated at Regent's Park School in London. After attending Octu, he was commissioned into the King's Royal Rifle Corps in 1941 and served with the 1st Battalion in the Italian campaign, during which he was awarded a Military Cross.
On September 5 1944 he was near San Savino, on the Gothic Line, commanding a carrier platoon which was ordered to support an attack by a squadron of tanks of the 9th Lancers. He worked his carriers forward under sniping and heavy and accurate shelling and mortar fire; when the tanks were close to their objective he dismounted his men and charged in on foot.
His small force killed many of the Germans who were waiting to ambush the tanks, and took 20 prisoners. When more resistance came from a vineyard behind the tanks, House went in on foot, killed several snipers and collected another large batch of prisoners who had been lying low and had to be flushed out. The citation for his MC commended his skill and courage, and stated that without him the armoured squadron would have been unable to hold their ground.
In 1947 House was granted a regular commission. He commanded the 1st Battalion Green Jackets in Penang, and subsequently Berlin in 1964-65.
House had just taken over in Penang when, one Sunday morning, he asked his signals officer up to his residence to give "a little assistance". The officer was led into the bathroom, where the CO opened the door with great caution and, stepping aside, pointed to an enormous snake coiled up on the lavatory seat. "There you are," said House, "that's what I want you to help me remove."
Observing this horrid creature less than two feet away, the officer froze and in a voice close to treble exclaimed: "But Colonel, I can't do that! I simply hate snakes and this one looks particularly dodgy."
"Well," House said eventually, "I suppose he will have to stay here until tomorrow. I can't risk my wife and the girls finding it. How about a drink?" Over a cold beer there was a twinkle in House's eye as they discussed whether it would have been lawful to order a junior officer to remove a snake from the CO's loo.
In 1965 House took command of the 51st Gurkha Brigade in Borneo during the "Confrontation" with Indonesia. He was mentioned in despatches at the end of his tour. He was chief of the British Commanders-in-Chief Mission to the Soviet Forces in Germany (BRIXMIS) based at Potsdam from 1967 to 1969, then moved to the MoD as Deputy Military Secretary.
After three years as Chief of Staff of the British Army of the Rhine, House became Director of Infantry in 1973. He was Colonel Commandant of both the Light Division and the Small Arms School Corps from 1974 to 1977.
He was appointed OBE in 1964; CBE in 1967; KCB in 1975; GCB in 1977; and KCVO in 1985.
David House married, in 1947, Sheila Darwin. She predeceased him, and he is survived by their two daughters.
Lt-Gen Sir David House, born August 8 1922, died July 14 2012

Abstract : During this period of time, the glass development program at Rutgers University continued and a total of 121 experimental melts were completed. The majority of these melts were concentrated on formulation variations of a lanthanum crown glass selected as the most promising candidate from six experimental melts initially evaluated. The best performance was achieved by melt number A67, exhibiting a 77 percent relative transmission at 370 millimicrons, an expansion factor of 92 over the range of 25 degrees C to 425 degrees C, and an index of refraction of 1.724. Three melts produced to this formulation by Bausch and Lomb were evaluated and used to produce single and multiple fibers. Variations of the lanthanum, tantalum, and borate compositions were evaluated during this period, as were high silicate content glasses.

TipsandPreventionStepsforThrushPosted on December 11, 2006, in Uncategorized, with 0 Comments
To reduce the risk of recurrence, women should avoid practices that upset the natural bacterial balance in the vagina. It is best to avoid using perfumed talcs and deodorants in the perineal area, as well as douching and using bubble-bath, soap, bath salts and shampoo when taking a bath (sitting in water which contains these products can disturb the natural environment in the vagina). Quitting smoking may also be helpful.
- There are many ways to prevent Thrush
- Eat yoghurt with lactobacillus acidophilus, or take lactobacillus acidophilus supplements regularly.
- Do not douche – the vagina cleans itself and using a douche, particularly with perfumes or other chemicals, causes more harm than good.
- Wear cotton underpants and clothes that aren't too tight. This will prevent the area from becoming too moist and warm.
- Do not leave tampons, contraceptive sponges, cervical caps or diaphragms in place too long.
- Wipe from front to back after going to the toilet. Candida in the bowel can infect the vagina and cause thrush, but wiping from the front will help reduce the chance of this happening.
- If you are taking antibiotics, and are prone to thrush, consider using a thrush treatment at the same time.
- Remember that using a treatment too often when it is not necessary may make yeast resistant.
- Avoid using perfumed soaps, bubble baths or vaginal deodorants. The chemicals in these products are too harsh for the delicate tissue and pH balance of the vaginal area.

He Shoots An Imaginary Bullet To His Kitty. What Happens Next is Hilarious!
We know that cats and kittens are so funny. They can surprise us with lot of tricks. This white and gray kitten is the cutest. Just look how wonderful it is. And those amazing eyes… So cute. I`ve never seen so cute and smart kitten.
You know that every owner wants to teach his pet on some interesting tricks. And one of the most interesting is shooting your pet with your hand in the shape of gun. And after that the pet fall down. Well, this trick is more successful in dogs.
They learn this interesting trick very fast. But, nobody expected that this kitty could learn that. His owner was trying and trying without success. However, after long time he finally succeed. It was very interesting to see that.
So, the human decided to capture this hilarious moment on camera. But, he wasn`t expected that his kitty could react in this finny way. When he " shot " , the kitten didn`t fall immediately. He waited few moments, and then the kitten fell down.
But, this was not the end of this story. The kitten was sitting on the bed. And while doing this performance the kitty fell from the bed. So funny. It just disappeared. But, don`t worry. The kitten land on his paws and there was soft carpet on the floor.
Well, we have to say that the trick was successful , because the kitty acted like she was shot, and fell on the bed. We have to forget the moment that she also fell on the carpet. 🙂 But , we must say that this kitty has a nice acting skills. That is obvious.
WATCH he shoots an imaginary bullet to his kitty VIDEO:

Major Tourist Attractions of Papua New GuineaPosted by Tour Attractions in Australia | 0 comments
Recommended Great Tourist Attractions in Papua New Guinea, There's a lot to see and do in the Island of Papua New Guinea.
Tropical islands are the place to find a unique variety of wildlife, active volcanoes, huge mountains, virgin rainforests and coral reefs deep. Cleverly combined with the incredible wealth of natural splendor colorful cultural festivals.
Located north of Australia within the southwest Pacific Ocean, this small nation includes a long and rich history. Archaeologists have discovered human remains dating back 50,000 years ago. Is believed to be among the first inhabited land masses by ancient peoples.
Papua New Guinea Attractions
John Keats
Had Keats been to maui of Papua New Guinea, he would have attached the term islands along with goodly states and kingdoms. Attractions in Papua New Guinea consist of coral reef, zigzag river, golden beaches and mighty mountains. Arrived at this coastal paradise to savor a perfect getaway.
Even if Goroka is definitely an amazing place, you shouldn't stay out at night. If you are going outside of the city it is recommended to find a guide. Be aware that an exciting inclusive price may be including nothing except guides (who'll want and deserve tips). It will take up to two days of hiking to get at the first village without seeing anyone within the jungle.
Lake Kutubu
Lake Kutubu is found in the Southern Highlands of Papua New Guines, it is very remote. Traditional villages dot the shore and nearby rainforest. Like several virgin tropical rainforest areas the bidiversity is spectacular, although not obvious, unless you have a great desire for plants and insects. Mammals for example tree kangaroos, possums and other marsupials (New Guinea is evolutionarily associated with Australia) and birds for example spectacular Birds of Paradise and cassowaris are ever-present, but rarely spotted. Cultural diversity can also be rich, but off limits if you don't speak a local language – there are many, PNG features hundreds of locale languages and dialects.
Port Moresby
Port Moresby, the main city houses the National Parliament, the National Museum, containing exhibits of pottery all the provinces, the Botanical Gardens and also the Catholic Cathedral.
The Sepik River
The Sepik River may be the longest river in Papua New Guinea and it has been for many centuries the trade route in to the interior. It winds down in the mountains near the border with Irian Jaya, draining immense tracts of scarcely explored jungle, swamp and grassland until it meets the ocean, where it is more than a mile wide.
Western Highlands
Somewhat Mount Hagen in the Western Highlands resembles an urban area from the Wild West. Its expansion is just recent and the local population organizes numerous sing-sing celebrations to mark an assorted variety of events ranging from payment of the bride-price to the opening of a new road.
The hawaiian islands
The main islands are New Britain, New Ireland and also the Manus group (together comprising the Bismarck Archipelago), the northernmost Solomon Islands of Bougainville and Buka, as well as an eastern group of islands such as the Trobriand and D'Entrecasteaux Islands.
Best Time for you to Visit Papua New Guinea
Papua New Guinea includes a tropical climate and is great for tourism at anytime of the year. You could like the cooler and drier months between June and September.
Ways to get to Papua New Guinea
The Jackson Airport terminal in Port Moresby, the Capital Capital of scotland- Papa New Guinea is where the flights from major international destinations like Australia, Singapore, The Solomon Islands, Hong Kong and Philippines find.
Domestic destinations too are well-connected by air. Actually, most of the towns do not have a road connect to the Island's Capital and have to become accessed by foot or flight.
The Papua New Guinea Island is really meant to be appreciated by adventurous travelers – prepared to explore the life beneath the waters and also the Island's interior that has mountains, forests, wildlife, quaint villages, traditional tribes and locals. A holiday here will leave you with lots of stories to tell people home.

If you are thinking of getting a horse barn for your animals, you will find that there is a large variety for you to choose from. There are modular horse barns, shed row horse barns, pre built barns and prefabricated horse barns to choose from. If you are particular about the barn you get for your horse, you could also consider a personalized horse barn.
Out of these, it is better to buy a prefabricated horse barn as it is pre-engineered and is faster to construct. The reason for this is because these barns are built at the factory and not after reaching you. It is because of this that the construction projects of barns, that usually take weeks or months to complete, can be completed in over a weekend in the case of a prefabricated horse barn.
You experience peace of mind
Not only do you save building time with these barns, you also save in material costs. The reason for this is because the components are pre cut and prepped before they are shipped to you. This way there is no chance of any waste materials. Moreover, you don't have to pay anything as labor charges.
The third advantage of these horse barns is the peace of mind they offer you. If you get a contractor to build a horse barn for you, you will find that more often than not, there are no contractors that will guarantee their work. This means there is a chance of the barn incurring damage due to builder error at a future date.
However, in the case of these prefabricated horse barns, you receive warranties on the barns that last a few decades. There are some barns that come with a warranty of 40 years and the reason the manufacturers can afford to give these warranties is because their products are high quality and tested to last.
So considering all these factors, it is always better to choose this horse barn for the sake of your animals.
