Ossiam has listed a UCITS exchange-traded fund on the London Stock Exchange that tracks the Risk-Weighted Enhanced Commodity Ex-Grains Index, calculated and published intraday by S&P.
It is the first risk-weighted smart beta commodity ETF launched globally.
The Ossiam Risk-Weighted Enhanced Commodity ex. Grains TR UCITS ETF provides investors with systematic long-only exposure to a diversified basket of 20 commodities futures contracts (excluding grains) with reduced volatility. When compared with standard ETFs tracking long-only broad commodity indices, the underlying index offers potentially better participation from all commodity sectors while avoiding concentration on oil. This enables more efficient risk allocation in a portfolio.
Bruno Poulin, chief executive of Ossiam, says: "The launch of this new ETF based on commodities marks an important stage in our development and is part of Ossiam's long term aim to offer an innovative and comprehensive range of smart beta investment solutions to investors. We are showing our industry leadership position in developing and executing alternative-weighted investment strategies that meet the objectives of risk-focused investors."
Terry Mellish, head of UK institutional business, Natixis Global Asset Management, says: "We believe that Ossiam's new ETF on commodities will allow investors to potentially gain enhanced portfolio diversification while protecting against inflation. Commodities have historically had a low correlation to traditional asset classes and for this reason we see them as a positive tool for investors trying to broaden their asset exposure and build more durable portfolios."
The index combines two particular features in one strategy. Firstly, the investment process enables allocation between 20 commodities futures contracts according to a risk weighted scheme. The index is rebalanced on a monthly basis, with each commodity future contract weighted in inverse proportion to its realised volatility. This ensures sound risk budgeting by allocating more weight to commodities futures contracts with the lowest volatility.
The strategy also features an enhanced roll yield mechanism by selecting and rolling futures contracts according to the S&P GSCI Enhanced and/or the S&P Dynamic methodology to maximise backwardation and minimise contango.
The Ossiam Risk Weighted Enhanced Commodity ex. Grains TR UCITS ETF 1C (USD) has a TER of 45 bps and is swap-based. Ossiam is also listing ETFs on the same index on Borsa Italiana, NYSE Euronext Paris and Xetra in Germany.
As of the end of August 2013, Ossiam managed a total of EUR911.7m (USD1.2bn).
The ETF is distributed and marketed in the UK through Natixis Global Asset Management.

US Ranks 23rd in Broadband Development
The United States still trails much of the world in broadband development, ranking 23rd on the list of the top 57 countries, according to rankings released this week by analyst firm Strategy Analytics. South Korea holds on to the title of the world's most advanced broadband market. Hong Kong, the Netherlands, Lithuania and Japan round out the top five slots.
The rankings are the result of a new broadband measurement tool just launched by Strategy Analytics. The "Broadband Composite Index" (BCI) examines and scores the broadband development of 57 individual countries in five categories, including household penetration, speed, affordability, value for money and urbanicity. The resulting score provides a more balanced and robust view of broadband development, according to the firm.
"The traditional single metric approach of looking at broadband is becoming less relevant," said Ben Piper, Director of the Strategy Analytics Multiplay Market Dynamics service and author of the report. "We feel confident that our multifactor index is a superior indicator of a country's relative broadband advancement."
The United States, which placed 23rd on the list, trailed the rankings in a number of the five index components. Piper says competition—or the lack of it—is to blame for the high prices and low average speeds in the US.
"With essentially zero intra-platform competition, US service providers have little incentive to innovate offerings or differentiate beyond par," said Piper.
In addition to defining and exploring each of the five metrics in detail, the report, "Global Broadband Scorecard: 2010 Broadband Composite Index (BCI) Rankings," calculates and ranks the BCI for 57 countries, and provides associated analysis of the drivers behind the rankings.

For a python project, sometimes I need to clean all the compiled python files. I have an alias 'rmpyc' to this command. This really saves me a lot of typing and hunting throughout the folders to delete those files.
this command searches for a keyword or an expression in a path and avoids versionned files
Enable 'sleep' function in Windows environment where this does not exist, although not exact in time. (there is a delay for each ping) This is a simple way to separate commands with a time-period.
A simple command to find the total number of subdirectories in current directory starting with specific name.
A different approach to the problem - maintain a small sorted list, print the largest as we go, then the top 10 at the end. I often find that the find and sort take a long time, and the large file might appear near the start of the find. By printing as we go, I get better feedback. The sort used in this will be much slower on perls older than 5.8.
The nl command lists the contents of a file where is each line is prefixed by a line number. For more information about this command, check out its man page. I tested under Mac OS X and Xubuntu 9.04

I don't think I'd ever use the original command, but this one was so bad I had to post this. Sorry.
1. $(ls) is dumb, and will give errors if you have an alias like "ls -Fs"
2. clear is better and more portable than reset state.
3. if you're interested in differences, then use diff, not cat.

See What Angelina Jolie Almost Looked Like in 'Maleficent'
We love concept art around here. We also love that concept artists are finally allowed to publicize their portfolios for a movie after it has opened in theaters. Recently this has given us clearer looks at the aliens in Edge of Tomorrow, alternate versions of Godzilla, and even some unused designs for Sentinels in X2: X-Men United. And now the latest bits of alternate reality art to be liberated are Steffen Reichstadt's alternate designs for Angelina Jolie in Maleficent.
In the actual movie they went with a design that was basically just cheek bones so high and sharp they look like they'd cut anyone who got too close, but these other tests keep her face more intact and emphasize horns instead. And, as striking as the used design is, we're a little disappointed we didn't get to see one of these versions on the big screen. The stunning beauty of Jolie's face seems to be holding away the evil lurking behind her, making for a wonderful and instantly striking design.
Alas, it was not meant to be, but at least we have these looks at what could have been.
And here's an alternate version of Maleficent as a young girl. More versions are available at Steffen Reichstadt's site.
And as a bonus, here is a hilarious short film about what the pitch meeting for Maleficent must have looked like:

I had facial and neck hair transplant just over 3 weeks ago. As for my facial stubble - I am already so pleased with the results and I'm positive it will get better and better with time. The neck however - there is pretty much no result or hair at all.... Is it normal for two areas to grow at different paces ?
Hair Transplant - Uneven Growth?
Doctor Answers 3
It is too early to expect to see any growth or results. Wait it out for another 5-7 months and then you can judge what is happening
Transplanted hairs start to grow at different times, but not at different rates. Scalp hair usually grow at a rate of 1cm a month. Transplanted hair do not all grow out at the same time. Finally, transplanted hairs usually do not grow 3 weeks after surgery.
The different areas in a hair transplant as well as the follicles themselves may all have different growth rates. Regardless, the only possible way to determine the final results is to try an be patient and wait several months (sometimes upwards of a year or longer) for the ultimate growth.

(Sang'gre, Queen of Lireo, Keeper of the earth gem)
Kingdom: Lireo
Father: Unknown (same as Alena)
Mother: Mine-a, Ynang Reyna of Lireo
Romantic Involvement: Aquil, the deceased head of the royal army of Lireo
Children: None (she swore never to have children)
Powers: Create powerful blasts from her hands. As the guardian of the earth gem, she has control over palnts and pashneas. She could morph into a plant or an animal at will. She could also orb like her sisters.
Weapon/s: Arnis; Scepter of the Queen
Strength/s: Danaya is loyal, headstrong, fearless, unyielding and determined.
Weakness/es: Stubborn and impulsive. Her headstrong character prevents her from showing her true emotions. She sometimes has a hard time in expressing what she really feels.
Although the youngest among the four sisters, Danaya's unwavering sense of loyalty and knowledge of the law made her deserving of the crown of Lireo. She is a fearless warrior who is ready to defend and fight for the people she loves at the expense of her own safety.
Although generally serious, her childish and playful nature manifests itself through her interactions with loved ones, especially with Lira and Aquil. She hides her true emotions under the facade of strength that she always shows. Despite the fact that it was painfully obvious that she is in love with Aquil, it took her a long time to come into terms with her true feelings
Danaya is a character from the Filipino fantasy television series Encantadia and Etheria produced by GMA Network. Danaya is the one of the four elemental Sang'gres and is the keeper of the Jewel of Earth. She later became the queen of Lireo.
Filipina actresses Diana Zubiri and Valerie Concepcion played Danaya in the Encantadia TV series and Mulawin the movie, respectively. Robbie Tan of Seiko Films didn't allow his contract star Diana Zubiri to appear as Danaya in Mulawin: The Movie. GMA Network and Regal Films opted to cast Valerie Concepcion as Danaya instead.
The name Danaya may be a play on "Diana", which is the name of both the actress who originated the role as well as the goddess of the hunt in Roman myth, Diana, who is similarly associated with wild animals and forests.
Character background
Danaya is the daughter of Minea and Enuo. She is a full blooded Diwata. Alena is her real sister while Amihan and Pirena are her half sisters
Danaya grows up into a strong-willed, rebellious, albeit militaristic woman with a soft spot for nature. The time came when it was time to change the queen. Minea, after having consulted her advisors, told her daughters to prepare for the test. Pirena later overheard Minea talking with Imaw that she wish either of her three daughters, excempting Pirena, would become queen. She still told some about Pirena's "blood" (she still didn't talk about it clearly and it even mystified wise Imaw) and that she is sorry that Pirena won't be able to fulfill her ambition but Pirena was already gone this time, angry and hurt with questions on her mind.
The test for the sister is to fight a cloaked warrior. The goal is to take the "key" the warrior holds. The cloaked figure wear a white cloak with a brown face covering (the attire is, intriguingly, of a common Sapirian warrior) and wears a key as a pendant. Danaya went first and it was her battle that was most difficult (she even stepped on traps). Defeated, she went home sulking. Before dying, Inang Reyna gave Danaya the Brilyante ng Lupa and gave a magical gift to Amihan's daughter, Lira, that she will never be harmed against Pirena's powers. Danaya and Alena went on a journey to Devas after no consent from Amihan to retrieve the Brilyante ng Tubig from Bathala(Pirena disguised herself as Bathala to take the brilyante), by using one of the airships, but was attacked by the Hathors and had to escape and go back to land, Danaya was Attacked by Pirena and had to heal herself using Pirena disguised herself as Danaya and making an attempt on Amihan's life, which leads to the real Danaya's exile. At first Amihan won't believe but she would later changed her mind. Pirena's plan would have been foiled when Aquil told Amihan that it was possibly Pirena, remembering an event when someone, disguised as him, entered the treasury and stole the fire gem. However when they looked up Pirena in her room, they found her (whoever it was) peacefully sleeping with her sister Alena.
Danaya's Mission in the Human World
Danaya, who has been wrongfully banished from Lireo comes upon the Tree of Asnamon, and, seeing Mira open the portal, decides to follow. She lands in Carmen's backyard and first meets Mila, but is soon driven out by Carmen and her stooge. Because she is not familiar with the mortal world and its laws, she strikes people who anger her for whatever reason and thus gets into a couple of run-ins with the police. In the mortal world, she meets another diwata, Muyak (who has been gone for something like 18 years to watch over Mila). At first, Danaya doesn't recognize Muyak, but she soon remembers Muyak and they set off on a quest to find Mila.
A bullet wound, a trip to the hospital, and a failed attempt to convince Mila she is a diwata later, they decide to go back to Encantadia but realize that the portal is closed. They are stuck in the mortal world. Later on, Hagorn arrives in the world of the humans. He knocks Mila unconscious. Danaya arrives and asks the Hathors to stop. The Hathors attack Danaya but she fights back and manages to kill them. She sees Mila being carried by Hagorn. Hagorn and Agane orb out. Danaya also orbs out. She appears in front of Muyak and tells her the bad news. Muyak insists that they look for Mila but Danaya said that Muyak should stay and she will look for Mila herself.
Leaves twirl around Danaya and they brought her to Mila's location. Danaya arrives in a forest. She sees Mila lying on a bench. She walks toward Mila but fire suddenly encircles Mila. Hagorn and Agane orb in. Hagorn raises his sword right in front of Mila. He asked for the Earth Gem in exchange for Mila's life. Danaya was having second thoughts about giving her gem. She summons the Earth Gem but then Avilan glides in and takes the Earth Gem. Right at the moment, Hagorn stabs Mila in the chest. Danaya cries for Mila but Hagorn orbed out. Danaya was unable to come near Mila for she is surrounded by fire.
Danaya was beside Mila. She was asking Avilan to return the Earth Gem but nothing happened. She then gathers plant medicines to save Mila's life.
Avilan arrives at Avila and tells Dakila and Bagwis that Danaya and Lira are in danger.
Meanwhile, butterflies appear where Danaya and Lira are. Danaya begs for Bathala's help. She try to keep the butterflies away from Mila.
Dakila and Bagwis were searching for Danaya and Mila.
Danaya transfers Mila to get her away from the butterflies. Then there was a sudden gush of wind. Dakila and Bagwis arrive. Danaya runs to them and asks for help. Bagwis carries Mila.
In Avila, Mila is getting worse every second. Butterflies suddenly arrive. Dakila tells Danaya that Mila has left them and for Devas. Danaya went to Mila and asked her to wake up.Danaya couldn't accept what happened to her niece. The Mulawins gave tribute to the Sang'gre that has just died. Danaya, grieving, tells Dakila about Mila. She said that her life has been wasted. Dkila tells Danaya that she should be thankful because she got time to spend with her niece. Dakila tells Danaya that there is still another way to bring back Mila's life. Dakila tells Danaya that an encantado named Mercurio might be able to help them. Mercurio is imprisoned in Halconia and is guarded by a Ravena. Danaya tells him that she will go to Halconia immediately. Upon hearing this, Bagwis asks to go with Danaya.
Bagwis carries Danaya on their flight to Halconia. They finally arrive in Halconia. Danaya suggested that they should split up to look for Mercurio faster. Bagwis refuses but Danaya walks away from him. Danaya finds an encantado who was caged. She wonders where the Ravena guarding Mercurio was but calls Bagwis and tells him that he found Mercurio. Mercurio asks Danaya to leave but she suddenly hears a growl. The Raven appears and fights Danaya. The Ravena managed to unarm Danaya of her weapons but she picks two bones from a skeleton and uses them as arnis. Danaya beats the Ravena and turned to Mercurio. She tried to unlock the cage but her opponent rose up and sucks Danaya's energy. Danaya gets weaker and weaker. Bagwis attacks the Ravena. The Ravena lets go of Danaya. Bagwis and the Ravena fight. He manages to kill the Ravena.
Danaya and Bagwis free Mercurio and Danaya asks him if he has the cure for Mila. Mercurio gives a box to the Sang'gre and Danaya thanks him but he thanks her instead. Mercurio leaves away in a flash. Danaya puts her hand on Bagwis and they orb away to Avila.
Danaya and Bagwis finally arrive in Avila. Dakila asks them to hurry because there are more butterflies by the second. Danaya spread dust from the box given by Mercurio over Mila's body. After a while, Danaya tells Dakila that nothing seems to happen. Danaya was afraid that everything that they have done was wasted.
Danaya, together with Bagwis and Dakila, goes back to Mila's room to find that the butterflies are getting lesser. Danaya finds hope for Mila. Mila's hand slightly moves. She wakes up to see Danaya. She said that she must've gone crazy, seeing the creatures around her. Danaya gives Mila something to drink. Lira insists of leaving but Dakila tells her to rest first. Lira stood up. Danaya tells her about who she really is.
Danaya talks to Bagwis and tells him that she has lost her Earth Gem. He asks how this happened and Danaya tells him about Avilan.
Danaya asks Mila what was going on and Mila agreed to go with her to Encantadia to meet her mother. Danaya tells Mila that if she wants to go to Encantadia, she must forget about Anthony. Danaya tells her that as a future queen, she must never fall in love. Mila said that she only wanted to go to Encantadia to meet her mother but she doesn't want to be a queen.
Bagwis finds Danaya worried. Danaya tells him that she is worried. He asks if he feels danger and she said yes.
Bagwis and Danaya accompany Mila to Anthony's house. Mila and Anthony talk. Later, Mila told Anthony that she has to leave. Anthony insists of going with her but Danaya walks behind him and knocks him unconscious. Mila asks her why she did that but Danaya said that Anthony is a distraction and insists that she can't love Anthony. Danaya insisted that they should leave before someone sees them. They hear Carmen and they leave but Lira bends down to get Anthony's necklace.
In Avila, Lira looks at the Anthony's necklace. Bagwis asked her if it belongs to the guy in the mortal world they just visited. She said it belongs to Anthony. She said that it is as if that Danaya has a heart of stone. Bagwis said that Danaya is just abiding the rules of Lireo. Danaya, just outside the room, hears all this.
Danaya and Dakila are talking when suddenly, an eagle landed. It communicated with Dakila. It was Avilan. It said that Danaya should go to his grave in Avila. Bagwis would take them to Avilan's grave.
They reach Avilan's grave and Danaya starts digging. Mila wanted to help but Bagwis stopped her. Danaya, seeing that Mila and Bagwis were doing nothing, called Bagwis and asked for help. Bagwis said that she should work alone because she was the one summoned by Avilan. Lira and Bagwis smile at each other.
Danaya, still digging, was getting tired. She said the job would be easier if she had the gem of earth.
A glow comes from Avilan's grave. Danaya finds the medallion. She shows it to Bagwis and Mila.
Finding Danaya's Brilyante
Upon returning to Encantadia, she soon found out what has happened in Lireo. That Amihan is held captive while Pirena and the Hathors rule over Lireo. Bagwis returns to Avila, telling Danaya that help would come from the Mulawins if the Diwatas needed it. Lira then escapes from Danaya to look for her mother, Amihan.
Danaya later finds Amihan(Hitano helped her escape due to a deal made by Alena) with Banak and Nakba surrounded by Hathors. She along with her sisters fight and defeat the Hathors and go to the Mandirigmas camp where the surviving Lirean soldiers and Mandirigmas were hiding.
To retrieve Lira from Lireo, Danaya calls the Mulawins for help. After fighting the Hathors and making deals with Pirena, the Diwatas and Mulawins failed to retrieve Lira.
Danaya soon realized that the Pashnea started dying, and that she had feared what has happening to Encantadia. By reason that the Brilyante ng Lupa was lost, the plants and animals started to die.
She then went to the human world with Avilan to retrieve her Brilyante. She went to the sea and used a spell to create a bubble around her so she can freely breath and travel the ocean. While looking for her gem, she met a dolphin that helped her search for the brilyante. Pirena found out about this and sent a Water creature with the use of the Brilyante ng Tubig to prevent from finding the lost gem. Danaya and the dolphin both attacked and defeated the water creature and found the brilyante. She immediately went back to Encantadia, finding out that all the animals and plants are alive and well once more.
Romantic Involvement
Aquil, the deceased head of the army of Lireo, was Danaya's love interest. They were teased by Apek and Wantuk when they hug and flirt with each other. Later on, Lira tricked Danaya into saying "I love you" to Aquil. Lira told Danaya that it was something a girl says to a boy if she hates him.
After being revived Aquil again showed his love for Danaya, and after her reign, Danaya and Aquil got married and had a daughter together.
After Lira chose the path of love, thereby going back to the land of the mortals to be with Anthony, she renounced the throne and let her mother and three other Ashtis (aunt) to decide who would be the next matriarch of Encantadia. The Sang'gres and Lira all looked at Pirena who just smiled and said, "I once ruled, but the outcome was unpleasant." Then, asked Imaw who would rule next. He replied, "If Pirena refuses, Alena will be made queen." With this, Ybarro disagreed and contradicted the statement by Imaw, stating that she cannot be the Queen of Lireo because he will make her the Queen of Sapiro. And he proceeded to ask her hand by then. Lastly, the only viable choice for the title was Sang'gre Danaya, who by the way, lost Aquil in the battle against the Hathors. At first she doubted her capabilities as a queen, but with Pirena's blessing, she was encouraged and agreed to be Amihan's successor, becoming the Queen of Lireo. In Etheria, she will lead the other three sang'gres in battle against their new enemies - the three Etherians who came out of the portal in Episode 138. During the last war of Encantadia, she faces her gabay-diwa, Sari-a at the Lirean front. She gained the jewel of earth back as Amihan had killed Ether and Sari-a apologized to her panginoon (Lord in Filipino) because of what she had done to Encantadia. In a few years, she renounced her throne to Lireo to Cassandra and reunites with Aquil, her love and her daughter.
Family Affiliation
Danaya is the fourth and youngest daughter of Minea. Pirena and Amihan are her half sisters while Alena is her full-blooded sister. Her father was Enuo, a rebel diwata who knows much about Encantadia's plant life and vegetation. He is also excellent in curing diseases or wounds,
Hindi kumikilala ng dugo ang ambisyon. - Danaya on Pirena
The youngest of Minea's daughters and the keeper of the Jewel of Earth, Danaya is a feisty and cunning fighter whose loyalty to the throne and laws of Lireo is absolute. Because of her relative youth, she is prone to mischief and petty arguments (especially with her niece Lira), but always has her heart (and mind) in the right place.
Importance in the Balance of Nature
Without Danaya, plants would wilt. Animals would die. Beings in Encantadia would weaken and would soon die. This has been experienced when she once lost the jewel of earth.
Abilities and weapons
All Sang'gres have innate abilities inherent only to the royalty of the Diwata race. These powers cannot be stripped from them and known as their primary magical skills.
- Teleportation this is a from of teleportation common to all Sang'gres. This ability allows them to magically be transported from one place to another so as long as they know the place where they will be going. However, this power is inaccessible when a Sang'gre is physically bound.
- Elemental Powers- destined to be the future bearer of the Brilyante ng Lupa, (Earth Jewel), Danaya has control over everything connected to it. She can summon plants to aid her in battle and can even communicate to animals. Her powers are not just limited to the Encantadia's biosphere as she can manipulate the movement of Earth, itself, causing massive earthquakes and erecting earth-made structures. However, this power can be stripped from her if the Brilyante falls into the wrong hands.
- Transmogrification Danaya can shapeshift into form of animal or plant.
- Flight This ability is revealed in Etheria. She can use her powers connected to the Earth to repel the force of gravity acting on her, allowing her to levitate, and at some point, even fly. This ability is manifested by a golden brown cloud appearing under her feet.
- Healing-Sang'gre Danaya can heal any type of wound(not very deep and serious wound).
- Arnis sticks- Though Danaya can use swords and other arsenals as shown in Etheria when they lost their jewels, her weapon of choice are a pair of arnis sticks. As her powers correspond to the Earth, it is understandable that her weapon is something made from trees that she is affiliated with.
- Brilyante ng Lupa- though not technically designed for battle, the jewel blesses its keeper with special abilities, which are, in the case of the Earth Jewel, the ability to heal. Danaya was born having the ability to tap into its powers and when the time came that she was tasked to be its guradian, her powers greatly increased and her connection the the earth strengthened.

Stockholm, Sweden: Many prostate cancer patients develop bone metastases, and controlling the pain these cause can be difficult. Now the first large randomised Phase III trial of a bisphosphonate drug in these patients has shown that a single dose of the drug is as good for pain relief as single dose radiotherapy, the standard treatment for bone metastases. Results of the trial were presented today (Sunday) at the 2011 European Multidisciplinary Cancer Congress [1].
Professor Peter Hoskin, consultant clinical oncologist at the Mount Vernon Cancer Centre, Northwood, UK, and Professor of Clinical Oncology at University College, London, and colleagues, randomised 470 patients with primary prostate cancer and painful bone metastases to receive either a single dose of radiation or a single intravenous infusion of the bisphosphonate ibandronate (IB). Patients reported their primary site of pain at entry into the trial, and then at four, eight, twelve, 26 and 52 weeks after treatment.
Those who had not responded to the first treatment at four weeks crossed over to the alternative therapy and received their second treatment no later than week eight. Pain levels were measured at four and twelve weeks by examining analgesic use, using a combination of scoring via the WHO pain ladder [2] and the Mercadante method, which defines analgesic use in morphine equivalents.
"We found that using IB was as good as single dose radiotherapy in controlling pain," said Prof Hoskin. "Although there were more patients in the IB group with worse Mercadante scores at four weeks who needed re-treatment, at six and twelve months there was no long-term difference in pain relief between the two groups."
Side effects were few; short-lived nausea and stomach upsets if radiotherapy passes through the abdomen and flu-like symptoms with IB. The patients in the trial were well balanced as to age, site of pain, prior treatment and performance status. The median survival of the four groups was 11.8 months (radiotherapy only), 11.4 months (IB only), 12.7 months (radiotherapy then IB), and 16.8 months (IB then radiotherapy).
"We hope to analyse these survival differences further in the hope that it can give us further pointers as to how and whether we should use a combination of treatments," Prof Hoskin said. "Currently we are unsure about the optimal timing and scheduling of treatment for these patients."
The constant turnover of bone is kept in balance by the interaction of osteoblasts, which form bone, and osteoclasts, which beak it down. Bisphosphonates work by sticking to calcium and binding to it, thus preventing bone loss through inhibiting the activity of osteoclasts.
Bone metastases are common in many primary cancers. "They are a serious problem for many men with prostate cancer, and can cause intense pain as well as fractures and spinal cord compression," Prof Hoskin said. "But there are also patients who have bone metastases and only mild or moderate pain, which can be readily controlled by analgesics. Others have multiple metastatic sites, but only one causes significant pain. There are many questions still to be answered in this field."
The researchers intend to follow up their work with a study looking at biomarkers for bone resorption. "If we can correlate these markers with response to both radiotherapy and IB we will be able to see whether they can predict which patients would respond best to which treatment," said Prof Hoskin. "Currently we don't know exactly how radiotherapy works in bone metastases we just know that it does. We hope to be able to shed more light on this in our follow-up study.
"It is important to stress that radiotherapy still has a crucial role to play and is a highly effective treatment for many cancer patients. For patients with solitary metastases, pathological fracture, where the bone breaks due to weakness, and neurological complications of bone metastases, it remains the treatment of choice. Our research adds to the arsenal of the many effective treatments now available, and we believe that the findings will also be applicable to other primary cancers that can lead to bone metastases, for example breast cancer, where they are very common," he concluded.

Nigel Hastilow: Porn, prostitution and prudishness
As a nation we've always enjoyed a hypocritical attitude towards sex.
As a nation we've always enjoyed a hypocritical attitude towards sex.
It stands out like a beacon on West Bromwich High Street making no excuses of what is on offer inside. A bright blue and white sign reads 'The Bing!' – a contemporary frontage on an 18th century building.
From 2003 licensing laws meant strip clubs in England and Wales came under the same umbrella as pubs, cafes and bars.
Sex is no stranger to the world of cinema.
It is the oldest profession in the world – but one that presents danger and a risk of arrest.
The internet may be where many people who use porn go to find it these days but there is still a place for the sex cinema according to the owner of one Midlands establishment.
'There's Stuart and Sue, Warren who used to come in a Transit van, a couple whose nicknames are Rum and Coke'.
By day they are car parks, footpaths, fields and beauty spots – by night the meeting place for the kinky practice known as dogging.
The phone rang for the first time at 10.30pm. It went through to voicemail, where the caller – whoever they were – heard the words: "Hi, I'm Cassie, I am working today but can't get to the phone right now. Just leave a message and I'll get back in touch."
Less than two hours was all that was needed to arrange to meet her.
It is an ordinary block of flats on an ordinary street, a stone's throw from a discount supermarket and a McDonald's.
Parents are helping children cross the road, the Dudley Museum is open for business and workers take a stroll during their lunch break.
A seedy world of paid for sex is just a few clicks away on a site that sells it like a second hand DVD on eBay.
Hundreds of women and men across the West Midlands are selling sex over the internet – and today the Express & Star begins a week-long investigation into the sex industry in the 21st century.
Forsaking all others? Not anymore. Extra-marital affairs are on the up, so much so there are thousands of people in the West Midlands who have signed up to a website designed to help them find one.

Would it be a good idea to start playing as FDC, at the moment?
Would it be a good idea to start playing as FDC, at the moment?
Aww fuck and i was just going to join it, too. What would you people recommend then?
BoS or EC.
If you enjoy dieing join CMG.
Then you can rage quit the game like this guy.
What's the difference? I heard BoS makes drugs and other stuff while EC is just an all-around mega-corp?
Different members different leaders. EC gets a huge production discount which can come in handy. BoS are the only ones who can make drugs and BoS and EC can both make illegal grenades.
Does VI do anything at all or just sit around and make medkits?
GoM makes medkits, VI makes DOAs and Orbits which are extremely good markets.
VI's numbers was severely reduced after the last war, at a time they only had 15 members.
You're acting pretty sad, and I believe it's the way all EC do.
But go on, enjoy this game that's constantly the same every day.
I can basically own anyone in a 1on1 duel in FoM, except for Link, but he's a hobo.
And EC still zerged us with numbers of 4 to 1 on NF, you won by numbers (and the hilarious money you've gotten so much).
I'd rather play the underdog then easymode trough a game, like you.
i thought you stopped playing
You are acting like we are playing with computers. Everyone in EC as a whole makes it what it is.
A bunch of zerglings. Only used in earlygame matches.
You're not winning the war buddy.
Mercenary here - Pruney is my name, feel free to message me if you need any help!
Is this game any good?
Yeh it quite good, me and some brotherhood guys just did a raid on a LED controlled area and we owned them until about 10 came out of nowhere and rushed us.
Haha Gunba got banned for hacking on the integrity check. He is changing ISPs just so he can play again.
I love the Mercs that aren't against us BoS. Then again, it's not like they have something personal against us, it's just a contract, but still. They're annoying.
Built are all hackers. Gunba gave his hacks out to them.
Also we are getting pure raped on P51, they out number us like 6:1. They have like 90 people on. We have 10 EC, and 5 mercs.
But we did take it back for about 10 minutes, to then lose it again.
Damn this game is more fun than I thought. First started as an LED, got great help by a FDC soldier (He was explaining the basics to another FDC member, but I could listen in).
Then tried to take over NYC with a group of about 15-20 LED members for a while.
Deleted my character though, BoS seems more like my type of group, so gonna start a BoS character.
Also, is subscribing really worth it? Not going to just yet, as i've only started today, but man, what a start. Especially for a MMO.
Add me, Griff Karu, fellow unsubscribed BoS member.
Also selling THC.
yeah its worth it
Fffffffuck EC are starting to lose the war.
I've made an account and patched the game, but when I try to log into the game it tells me my account is invalid
Have you done the verification e-mail?
If you have, are you entering your password an shiz right?
Joining the FDC is this a good idea?
don't worry the led 12 year olds have to go back to school now so there goes 3/4 of there numbers.
Well I guess we have an excuse because the EC nerds have all the time of their life to zerg in numbers amiright?
lol yep because we lost paris because we were all on the computer 24/7 right?
Man, full of trolling and shit in here, aren't we?
Damn Merc broke up my first drug deal. >_<
Also, what's up with the new reply box?
I'm intrigued by this game, hell I'll give it a shot. FDC and LED suck major balls, that much I've derived, so when i start out (since it's still downloading) Which faction should i choose?
Probably GoM until you understand how to play, then make your decision then. Just remember this game gets boring if all you do is produce/make stuff, get involved and fight.
BoS is fucking boring as hell to play right now, nothing is going on.
Well.. actually a bunch of noob LED tried zerg rushing Ceres Delta and got killed by eight BoS, but besides that, nothing is happening and it's boring.
Also no one is making groups so it's impossible to do anything organized.
Dude, add me, I've been sitting around CD trying to get into an Eco Group
Griff Karu
I would say help the EC a little more, but now there is a cease fire. I wonder if LED will honor is this time.
The FDC aren't that bad at heart. Our only real bad members are the rank 0 (trainee) who have no clue how to play and what to do. We are often a scape goat on everything do to a few reasons: We being allied with LED, owning a space ship to rearm and drop in, in mass, and finally when we own any piece of non Earth land.
We have our major positives though. You get a usually great payout in the FDC and we have great numbers which turn the tide in battle. We also have GM made events on a place called Necars field where gas leaks are created making illusions that we are being attacked by monsters. Having a police ally also helps alot back on Earth cities where we can't have a constant presence. Overall if you like shooting things, plenty of people to have fun with on Ventrillo, stun tournaments (monthly usually), and perhaps have a fetish for green then we are the place for you.
"GM events"?
As far as I know rapespiders are just random bullshit grief spawns of GM's/the game itself.
They appear for 2 hours, completely take over NF and own armies of CMG, then suddenly despawn.

Catalog detailsPSYC 312(S)Brain, Behavior, and the Immune System
In all animals, the immune system is the body's defense against the outside world. Immune function is strongly influenced by environmental and behavioral experiences, and the immune system has a dynamic relationship with the brain. We will study the interactions among the brain, behavior, and the immune system in models of health and disease. Specific topics to be examined include: immune cells and their signaling molecules, immune cells within the brain, sickness behaviors, learning and memory, nervous system development, multiple sclerosis, Alzheimer's disease, and nervous system injury and repair. Students will critically review data from both human and animal studies. All students will design and conduct an empirical research project as part of a small research team. [ more ]

Not offered this year
Do your genes determine who you are? This course examines the relative contributions of nature (genetics) and nurture (the environment) that lead to individual differences in behavior. Modern neuroscience techniques have discovered new relationships between genes and behavior. Conversely, recent studies on the effects of social factors suggest critical environmental influences on the expression of these genetic determinants. This tutorial will explore the theoretical and empirical issues in animal models of behavioral epigenetics. Topics include child neglect, antisocial behavior, addiction, anxiety, risk-taking, empathy, and depression. Each tutorial pair will design and conduct an empirical laboratory project that will explore their own experimental question about the interaction of genes and environment in determining behavioral phenotypes.

Catalog detailsPSYC 318(S)Image, Imaging, and Imagining: The Brain and Visual Arts
This course will study the intersections of neuroscience and art. The brain interprets the visual world and generates cognitive and emotional responses to what the eyes see. It is also responsible for creating mental images and then directing the artist's motor output. We will first examine the neural mechanisms of how we perceive what we see. We will investigate how visual artists have used or challenged perceptual cues in their work. Understanding how the brain perceives faces will be used to analyze portraiture. We will consider the influence of neurological and psychological disorders on artistic work. We will examine neuroimaging studies questioning whether the brains of visual artists are specialized differently from non-artists. Finally, we will explore how contemporary artists are using brain images in their artwork, and how "outsider" artists have portrayed brain syndromes and mental states. Students will conduct an empirical laboratory project that will explore their own experimental question in response to the course material. The class will include field trips to local museums.

Catalog detailsPSYC 319 T(S)Neuroethics
Neuroscience studies the brain and mind, and thereby some of the most profound aspects of human existence. In the last decade, advances in our understanding of brain function and in our ability to manipulate brain function have raised significant ethical challenges. This tutorial will explore a variety of important neuroethical questions. Potential topics will include pharmacological manipulation of "abnormal" personality; the use of "cosmetic pharmacology" to enhance cognition; the use of brain imaging to detect deception or to understand the ability, personality or vulnerability of an individual; the relationship between brain activity and consciousness; manipulation of memories; the neuroscience of morality and decision making. In addition to exploring these and other ethical issues, we will explore the basic science underlying them. [ more ]

Catalog detailsPSYC 322(F)Concepts: Mind, Brain, and Culture
Every time we see something as a kind of thing, every time that we decide that an object is a cup rather than a glass, when we recognize a picture of a familiar face as a picture of ourselves, or even when we understand speech, we are employing categories. Most categorization decisions are automatic and unconscious, and therefore have the illusion of simplicity. The complexity of these decisions, however, becomes apparent when we attempt to build machines to do what humans perform so effortlessly. What are the systems in place that allow us this extraordinary ability to segment the world? Are they universal? How does conceptual knowledge differ across cultural groups? How do concepts affect our perception? How do the categories of experts differ from the categories of novices? Do children have the same kind of conceptual knowledge as adults? How are categories represented in the brain? In this course, we explore various empirical findings from cognitive psychology, cognitive neuroscience, and anthropology that address these questions.

Catalog detailsPSYC 324 TGreat Debates in Cognition
Not offered this year
The field of cognition is filled with controversies about how the mind really works. For example, is there sufficient evidence for a system in vision that can become aware of things without actually "seeing" them? Is it necessary to assume that babies come into the world armed with innate linguistic knowledge? Are humans inherently rational? Can we make inference about the mind using neuroimaging? These debates, and others that we will consider, help fuel scientific discovery in cognition in interesting ways. In this class, we will consider some of these contemporary debates, weigh evidence on both sides, and discuss the implications for what we know about the mind. [ more ]

Students will do original research. [ more ]
Taught by: Nate Kornell
Catalog detailsPSYC 328(S)Understanding Attention and Distraction
The human brain is constantly bombarded by sensory information. For example, as you sit in class listening to a lecture, many other people and objects are visible, competing for your limited attention resources. How does your brain manage to avoid such distractions to focus attention on relevant sensory information (such as the lecture) in order to extract the information you need to accomplish important goals (such as passing the class)? This is a problem that confronts humans in a variety of ways, ranging from finding your keys or driving your car, to using your iPhone or iPad, to doctors looking for tumors on medical images or airport security screeners looking for weapons in baggage. In this course, students will read empirical studies that use both behavioral and brain imaging techniques to investigate the capabilities, limitations, and brain substrates of attention in human behavior. Topics include attentional control, how attention interacts with overt behaviors such as eye and hand movements, practical applications of attention research including topics such as smartphone technology design and training for medical image screeners, and dysfunction of attention in clinical populations. Students will conduct original empirical research, analyze data, and present their findings to their peers at the end of the semester. [ more ]

Catalog detailsPSYC 332(S)Mathematical Development
Can monkeys do math? Are babies statistical experts? Will I ever be good at calculus? What are we born with and what do we learn? Before children are ever taught formal mathematics in a classroom, they are confronted with situations where they must use their informal understanding of geometry, space, and number to successfully navigate their environments. In this course we read and discuss both foundational and cutting-edge articles from neuroscience, cognitive science, education and psychology to understand how humans bridge this gap between the informal and formal mathematical worlds. We will also tackle questions such as: How do culture and language affect numerical understanding? What are the sources of children's mathematical misconceptions? What are the effects of early environmental input or input deprivation on mathematical development? What do we know about gender differences in math achievement? How do stereotypes, prejudice, and math anxiety affect math performance? [ more ]

Can babies decide which bottle contains more milk? Can toddlers figure out who's lying? How do kids determine who's nice and who's mean? How do children develop the ability to make these decisions, and how do these abilities change over time? In this class, we'll be reading literature (both seminal and cutting-edge) and designing our own experiments to find the answers to these questions and more. The course will broadly cover aspects of early cognitive development such as memory, numerical cognition, language acquisition, and understanding of other social beings, focusing especially on aspects of the human mind that are present early in life and how they evolve.

Catalog detailsPSYC 337Temperament and Biobehavioral Development
Not offered this year
This class will explore individual differences in reactivity and self-regulation in infancy and childhood. Developmental, ethological, and neuroscience models will serve as the foundation for the exploration of the construct of temperament. Topics will include biobehavioral models of reactivity to stress and novelty, including research examining individual differences in neuroendocrine, electrophysiological, and emotional responding. Individual differences in self-regulation will be explored, and will focus heavily on the literature examining the development of attention and other executive control processes in infancy and early childhood. Longitudinal research that examines continuity and change in temperament from infancy through adulthood will be examined. The contributions of genetics and the contextual influences on temperament trajectories will be explored, including research demonstrating the influence of caregivers and gene-by-environment interactions.

Catalog detailsPSYC 338(F)Inquiry, Invention and Ideas
Children tinker, explore and create, but some more than others, and under some conditions more than others. What leads children to investigate, invent and build their own ideas? We will examine the development of curiosity, invention, and the ability to have or construct an idea. We will also look at what accounts for individual differences between children, including the role of intelligence, creativity, social cues, and opportunity.

Catalog detailsPSYC 342(S)Social Judgment
This course focuses on how people make judgments and decisions in their social lives and why they are sometimes biased and irrational in their choices. We will place a strong emphasis on exploring how ideas from the judgment and decision-making literature can aid in our understanding of social psychological phenomena, including planning for the future, understanding other people, and resolving interpersonal conflicts. We will also place an emphasis on people's judgments and decisions as they pertain to their happiness and well-being, exploring how concepts in the judgment and decision-making literature can help us to understand why certain types of outcomes are more satisfying than others and why people sometimes choose in ways that fail to maximize their well-being. As we explore these questions, we will survey a variety of methods and perspectives, ranging from classic social psychological experiments to techniques imported from behavioral economics and cognitive psychology.

Students will research and critically analyze and integrate the relevant literatures, and they will design and conduct original research to test hypotheses that emerge from these literatures. We will examine a variety of types of research designs, how to conduct online and in-person research, and how to analyze and understand results, including using SPSS to analyze data. [ more ]
Taught by: Steven Fein
Catalog detailsPSYC 345(S)Political Psychology
What kinds of politics are humans capable of engaging to govern themselves? For millennium political philosophers have asserted different foundational claims about "human nature" that in turn led them to their vision of politics. For example, the enlightenment thinkers held that science and technology would strengthen rationality and thereby making democracy more viable. On the other hand, those who defend authoritarian regimes often do so by proclaiming that the general public is incapable of rationality and of self-rule and should therefor accept rule by their betters (previously nobility, now experts). Many of the disputes turn on how rational people are and on their capacity to pursue justice for all people. We explore what political psychology tells us about political citizens and political leaders. We find intriguing new answers from neuroscience. The course pays special attention to the powerful and surprising, roles that emotions play in all aspects of politics. Central to politics in all its variety is the issue of political judgment. If we are to trust ourselves to rule ourselves, how well will we be able to secure justice and liberty for one and all among us? Political psychology is one of the very oldest disciplines (it can be dated at least back to the early classic Greeks, among them Socrates, Plato, and Aristotle). But in its current form is very influenced by neuroscience. Nonetheless, the issue of citizen competence, then as now, was at the center of their attention. So, it shall be in this course. [ more ]

Catalog detailsPSYC 346(F)Environmental Psychology
This is a course in social psychology as it pertains to the natural environment. We will consider how the environment influences aspects of human psychology (e.g., the psychological implications of humans' disconnect with nature), as well as how human psychology influences the environment (e.g., why some people engage in environmentally destructive behaviors despite holding proenvironmental attitudes). At the core of this course is an attempt to examine various ways in which research and theory in social psychology can contribute insights to understanding (and encouraging) environmentally responsible behavior and sustainable practices, both here at Williams and globally. Because human choice and behavior play such an important role in environmental problems, a consideration of human psychology may therefore be an important part of the solution. [ more ]
Taught by: Kenneth Savitsky
Catalog detailsPSYC 349(S)Psychology and Law
This course examines the legal system in light of psychological research findings, Supreme Court rulings, wrongful conviction cases and illustrative crimes. The law's informal theories of human behavior will be compared to what psychologists know on the basis of theories and research regarding such topics as Miranda, lie detection, police interrogation, false confessions, eyewitness identification, repressed and recovered memories, forensic evidence, juries and criminal insanity. Students will conduct an empirical research project, analyze data and present their findings to their peers at the end of the semester. [ more ]
Taught by: Laura Smalarz
Catalog detailsPSYC 350Child Psychopathology
Not offered this year
This course explores the rapidly evolving field of psychological disorders in childhood and adolescence. We will examine the intertwined effects of individual characteristics (e.g., genetics, neurobiological factors), relationship processes (e.g., parenting, family functioning, peers), community settings (e.g., schools, neighborhoods), and the broader cultural context (e.g., poverty, stigma, media). Using a developmental framework, we will examine the emergence and maintenance of specific psychological disorders, as well as variations in how children cope with cataclysmic stressors (chronic illness, physical and sexual abuse). The goals of this course include (1) appreciation of the dynamic interplay between biology and experience in the unfolding of psychopathology, (2) exploration of diagnostic criteria and phenomenology of specific disorders, and (3) exposure to a wide range of research-based strategies for prevention and intervention.

Taught by: Catherine Stroud
Catalog detailsPSYC 355(F)Psychotherapy: Theory and Research
Psychotherapy is a young, barely 100-year old psychological endeavor which attempts to promote change and healing through social interaction. How can it be that talking with a psychotherapist can help people change -- emotionally, cognitively, and/or behaviorally -- and how exactly does it help people achieve relief from psychological disorders and problems? In this course, we will study some of the key approaches to psychotherapy by examining the theories and scientific research that surround them, and considering theory and research in juxtaposition. This will be accomplished by a close reading and critical analysis of primary source theoretical papers, the "raw data" (videotapes and transcripts) of therapy sessions, case studies, and contemporary empirical research on the outcomes and change processes of psychotherapy. Students will learn how to evaluate the efficacy claims of both standard and new therapies and how to evaluate claims about the mechanisms by which those therapies work. Current controversies in psychotherapy and psychotherapy research will be addressed and debated as well. All students will design and conduct an empirical research project based on the course material. [ more ]
Taught by: Laurie Heatherington

Discussions focus on commonalities and differences in empirically supported treatments for anxiety disorders as well as controversies in the field. [ more ]
Taught by: Nicole Harrington
Catalog detailsPSYC 361(S)Psychology of Nonviolence
Nonviolence refers to choice behavior in interpersonal interactions in which physical and psychological injury to others is rejected as an option. In this course we will study moral and psychological theories of nonviolence, and evaluate the empirical support for their central empirical claims of psychological benefits to the practitioner, attitude change in the adversary, and positive exemplary effects on social interaction. Topics include anger and self-control, aggression, evil, conflict resolution, empathy, and forgiveness. [ more ]
Taught by: Kris Kirby
Catalog detailsPSYC 372Advanced Seminar in Teaching and Learning
Not offered this year
This advanced seminar will give students an opportunity to connect theory to practice. Each student will have a teaching placement in a local school, and participate in both peer and individual supervision. In addition, we will read a range of texts that examine different approaches to teaching, as well as theory and research on the process of education. What is the best way to teach? How do various theories of child development and teaching translate into everyday practices with students? Students will be encouraged to reflect on and modify their own teaching practices as a result of what we read as well as their supervision. Questions we will discuss include: What is the relationship between educational goals and curriculum development? What is the relation between substance (knowledge, skills, content) and the interpersonal dynamic inherent in a classroom setting? How do we assess teaching practices and the students' learning? What does it take to be an educated person? [ more ]

Winding up for the Dawn Service - Simpson Prize 2011
Monday 25 April 2011 by Stuart Baines. 1 comment
Battlefield Tours, Simpson Prize 2011
The walk was exhilarating and we kept the pace up to hopefully exhaust everyone so we could have an afternoon kip. We always have our eyes out for battlefield litter and anything that we can find to bring back to the Hotels growing collection. No such luck today but we had a blast in the process. Many times we had to resist the urge to duck of the track to see what interesting things we could find but you didn't always need to duck off the track. As we walked passed a bush there on the edge of the track was a shaft about 6 feet deep with 2 horizontal tunnels leading out of it. We talked about the lengths that these men had to go to stay safe, tunnelling programs and to see effectively a cross section of the earth with layers of dirt clay and rock, really gave the students a feel for how hard to would have been to dig a trench.
After that it was off to Bigali, a small village where Attaturk stayed for several nights during the campaign. There is a great village tea house where the group had some traditional Turkish coffees and teas. When we returned to the Hotel for lunch there was a crowd of police vehicles and men with business suits and earpieces. They stood around hand clasped behind their backs or carrying submachine guns all anticipating the arrival of a dignitary, a dignitary who's identity is still a mystery. No matter to us we bowled into the restaurant for lunch polished off our food and trundled past the guards towels in hand and swimmers on ready for the long promised swim in the Aegean Sea. Of we went diving in on mass and as the 7 degree water hit our bodies an audible squeal rang out. I think the girls may have made a noise too.
We are all eagerly awaiting the dawn service and the Lone Pine ceremony and hopefully you will log in and read all about this special very occassion.

Duplicate Content in Joomla 1.5.25
Category: Joomla
Getting a lot of Google indexed articles in Joomla site that do not exist. These articles show in several different catagories. Exmple: /chevy/engine-light.html is correct but also shows in /ford/engine-light.html or chevy/ford/engine-light.html.
Hi butch1, Our own Support Center here runs off of Joomla, and I've actually experience the same issue as yourself. On our end, the issue was caused by a combination of: 1. Custom code that we wrote 2. Third party extensions In short, what was happening was that not all of our components were creating search engine friendly URLs, and some of our customer code was creating bad links because of this. What you'll first need to do is find the pages in your site that are generating the bad URLs. Once you know this, then you can take the next step to correct this. For example, you need to find what pages on your site that are linking to /ford/engine-light.html. It is most likely this linking that is causing the page to get indexed by Google. What I suggest is using a Tool like http://www.xml-sitemaps.com/ to create a sitemap of your site. If that sitemap contains /ford/engine-light.html then you know you have other pages within your site linking to that bad URL. Keep us updated on how the sitemap goes, and we'll see if there is anything we can do to help further. Thanks! - Brad |

Use of capitalization for nouns that occur within a sentence
eg, naturalism or Naturalism
realism or Realism
What is a word that ends in ism
When does the context change and require capitalization?
1 answer
When you refer to the historical movement/ideology that is an 'ism', then you capitalise it.
"Socialism is the political ideology that strives for a materially egalitarian society."
"When we talk about the birth of Socialism, we have to go back to its roots in the 19th century."
