Man flu is considered by large segments of society to be the psychological condition of men with colds. It is often said that when men have a cold they think it is a flu and as a consequence they moan more than women and stay longer in bed until they feel better.
Man flu is not to be confused with the current H1N1 pandemic flu which is affecting humans in some 40 countries. There has also been one swine case on a farm in Canada.
A recent study published in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences suggests that man flu may not be a myth after all. In this study Dr Maya Saleh, of the Research Institute of the McGill University Health Centre and McGill University, Canada shows that women have a more robust immune system than men. This is due to the production of estrogen by females, which could have a beneficial effect on the innate immune response against pathogens.
The research focused on an enzyme called Caspase-12, which increases susceptibility to infection by blocking the inflammatory response that the body uses to fight pathogens. This study was carried out using mice that lack the Caspase-12 gene, meaning that the mice were extremely resistant to infection. The human Caspase-12 gene was implanted in a group of male and female mice, yet only the males became more prone to infection. It was determined that estrogen produced by the female mice blocked the expression of the human Caspase-12 gene.
Although the study was carried out on mice, the researchers consider these results to be applicable to humans, because a human gene was used.
The positive effect of natural estrogen on our resistance to infection is raising the possibility of new therapeutic applications that stimulate the immune system. However, Dr Saleh has cautioned that men may not be amenable to the idea of being treated with an exclusively female hormone.
Men may or may not be very happy with the prospect of receiving a female hormone treatment, but judging by comments on the internet, this study is already highly valued by those who have suffered years of misunderstandings, and it may well become a reference material for men to quote the next time man flu is not taken seriously.

Red Funnel Encourages Next Generation of Engineers
15-08-2014 STAFF from Red Funnel have shared their expertise with children across Hampshire and the Isle of Wight this summer as part of a drive to develop the next generation of engineers.
The Isle of Wight ferry company has taken part in the Go4Set Mentoring Scheme, which links year 8 and 9 pupils with companies and universities to offer a 10-week science, technology, engineering and mathematics (STEM) experience.
Staff from Red Funnel worked with pupils at the following schools over the summer to help them take part in Go4Set's countywide competition 'My School is an Island':
- Sandown Academy, Isle of Wight (mentored by deck officers Matthew Parker and Jodi Le Breton)
- Quilley School of Engineering, Eastleigh (mentored by deck officer David Faulds)
There was victory for the team from Sandown Academy as they picked up the prize for the most innovative entry in the competition.
'My School is an Island' saw youngsters brainstorm and tackle the issues they would face, for example transport and resources, if their school were an island.
Matthew Parker, a First Officer with Red Funnel said: "As we operate 30,000 sailings each year to and from the Isle of Wight we were in a unique position to be able to regale the children with some real-life examples. We were really impressed by their ideas and there are definitely some future engineering stars among them."
Shirley Anderson, HR director at Red Funnel, said: "As a local business that relies on engineers, we were delighted to donate our time to show the next generation how rewarding a career in science and engineering can be. We hope the project will encourage even more young people on the Isle of Wight and the mainland to study STEM subjects."

Yesterday, the CIWMB held its Organics Summit to discuss the barriers and solutions to diverting organics from landfills. The highlights of the event included a panel of composters, group discussions, and the many out-of-the-box ideas that were recommended. Notably, there were a few recurring themes throughout the day, especially the state's ADC policy and areas for outreach, education, and research. It seemed clear that the board need to act quickly on these issues.
We encourage the Board to follow-up on the suggestions presented to them and to take bold action to tackle the large amounts of organics being disposed in California.
Also, CAW has submitted a letter to the California Climate Action Registry in response to their draft landfill methane capture protocol. Read the letter on our letter page.

I want a red flower just like this one.
I would like the navy stripe-y shirt too. Oh, and the coat, obviously. The boots! Green and rainy. Oh, and aw shucks, I`ll take her figure too. The whole thing– it`s so cute, I want to say "cute" for like, an hour.
MmmmHmm, say all Charlotte Bronte fans.
Styling and photography, delish.
I could stare at this room for an hour. It evokes an emotion, but I don`t know what one it is. Did you know that is the key to stunning decor is that it evokes an emotion?
All MY home decor evokes to the casual observer is: Oh that poor girl never gets caught up, does she.
Just 3 photos that took my breath away this week…
Oh what am I doing on here? I have a lot of Christmas company coming tonight. Should be cozy and so special, this little house is going to be full to the BRIM.
Leaving now…………………….
Merry Christmas!

We want every step of the dental care process to be comfortable and convenient.

- Separation/Divorce Decisions, Transition & Recovery
- Parenting and Co-Parenting
- Sexual Issues
- Money Issues
- Anger Management
- Stress Management

We specialize in working on relationship issues with couples and individuals, addressing a wide range of emotional and behavioral concerns -- issues regarding communication, infidelity, money, sex, kids, life-transitions, loss, differences in styles & values, and more. Our most personal relationships are usually the most challenging, because the stakes can be very high, the hurts can be very deep, and we often do not know 'what to do' or 'how to do' what it would take to make things better. However, it is precisely in times of crisis, that our potential for growth can be at its highest. People who get the most out of our work together, are those who are willing to take an honest look at patterns that have not worked, and who are willing to experiment with some different approaches that have a good likelihood of working better.
Our services can be of value to you because: a) We can 'see' some things that you have probably not been able to see; b) We can help you 'expand and deepen your understanding' of yourself, your partner and your relationships; and c) We can respectfully guide and encourage you to 'do what it takes' to get beyond the places where you are stuck.
In a comfortable and supportive atmosphere, we offer a highly personalized approach tailored to each of our clients' unique needs and abilities, to help them attain the personal growth they're willing to work towards.

UUP councillor William McCandless says the news that the Open is to return to Portrush is a 'massive boost to local economy'.
"The news that the most prestigious golf tournament of them all, the Open, is to return to Royal Portrush for the first time since 1951, is a massive coup for the whole Causeway Coast and Glens.
"It will build on the success of the Irish Open in 2012 and is thanks in no small part to the fantastic work done by ambassadors such as Darren Clarke, Graeme McDowell and Rory McIlroy, who have been campaigning and lobbying on our behalf. I am absolutely delighted that their efforts have paid off.
"This is tremendous news for the local economy, given that independent financial surveys suggest that staging the tournament can bring in between £55m and £70m in the year of the Open to the wider community in the venue's area.
"In addition to the many thousands of visitors who will be attending the tournament between the 18th and 21st July 2019, live television coverage will be beamed across the world and bring the beauty of this area to a worldwide audience. This area will reap the benefits for many years to come."

As a matter of precision for your article on the jealousy of God I feel it's worth pointing out that the term "Classical Greek" by convention refers to the Attic Greek dialect of the 4th and 5th centuries BCE and not Koine Greek.
Otherwise excellent article.
Thanks for the rep. Alwyas appreciated.
Hey man, I'm kind of on the late show, so I just now found out what's been going on. Just wanted to say that I'm praying for you and your family.
Perfectly reasonable. Thanks for the kind words. I do try to keep up on politics, because I find that so many people are making their political decisions - decision that affect me and my way of life - based on either misconceptions, shoddy thinking, selfishness,or outright lies they've been sold. The best way I can think of to help ensure that the political future of our country is as good as I can make it is to educate people about the facts. Maybe this self-styled Independent will be inspired to do some research on the issue and come to a strong enough conclusion to make him vote Obama out in 2012. I can only hope, and I can only do it one person and one debate at a time.
Best of luck with you classes and your business. Anything I can do to help?
Hey! Thanks for the rep, Apok!
Actually would kinda like to see you weigh in on that one.
Yes, I own and maintain the site.
So to be clear, no posts whatsoever show up in the What's New link?
I am having an issue with posts not showing up in the Whats New link. It may be on my end but I don't think so. Are you the best Admin to talk to? It is pretty minor and may not be worth your time.
Check out the infinite past thread. . . Please reread my first post. I didn't make myself clear.
I tried to answer your last PM, but evidently you've exceeded your space restrictions, and cannot receive any more until you clear some space for them. Anyway, thanks for responding, and I'll handle it in a way I believe accords with the rules.
I just thought I would let you know that I responded on this thread:
It has been taken off topic, so maybe a new thread about hedonism would be fitting?

Overall strong audio performance at reasonable listening levels. Interesting-looking, comfortable design. Cable is detachable, and comes with a spare. Built-in iPhone/iPad/iPod touch controls.
Overpriced. Distorts slightly on deep bass tracks at high volumes. Can sound a bit too bright on certain types of music. iPhone controls are awkwardly placed.
Bottom Line
The V-Moda Crossfade M-80 offers an alluring, on-ear design and enjoyable audio performance. But with some distortion at high volumes, this pair doesn't quite compete with other headphones in this price range.
There's an undeniable vampire theme lurking just below the surface of the V-Moda Crossfade M-80 headphones, whether it be the black-and-red color scheme, the "immortal life" fifty-percent-off replacement plan, or the goth-looking models on V-Moda's product page. If you like vampires, that's good news, and if you don't, well, they just look like cool headphones. But at $230 (direct), they'd better sound excellent, too. At moderate volumes, the M-80, a supra-aural headphone pair that sits on your ear instead of sealing around it, offers enjoyable audio performance. It can be a tad bright, but there's a healthy amount bass to even things out. At high volumes, however, distortion sets in on deep bass, which, at this price, shouldn't happen.

Not your standard headphone look, the Crossfade M-80 earcups, which rest on your ears and have plush cushioning on the inside, are shaped like hexagons. The M-80 comes in two color schemes: black with red highlights, or all-black (referred to as "shadow" by V-Moda).
The audio cable not only features Apple iPhone, iPad, and iPod touch controls for making and receiving calls and playback navigation, it's detachable. This is an excellent feature considering the cable is almost always the first thing to go with headphones, and if you can't replace it, then you have to replace the whole pair. Even better, you get two 36-inch, Kevlar-reinforced cables with the M-80. One has a reddish tone and features a one-button iPhone control, the other is all black and has the traditional three-button controls. The M-80 comes in a hard "exoskeleton" zip up case that looks a little like Batman's costume (new Batman, not Adam West), adding to the goth-mystique of the headphones.
The Apple controls are placed near mouth level on the cable, which helps for optimum microphone quality, but also makes it impossible to see the controls when you're operating them. It's pretty easy to hang up on a caller inadvertently, or raise the volume when you intended to lower it. The M-80, however, is one of several headphone or earphone pairs to feature this less-than-optimal control placement—the AKG K 350 ($79.95, 4 stars) and the Skullcandy FIX In-Ear ($69.95, 3.5 stars) are guilty too.
The Crossfade M-80 performs best at moderate volumes. There is a brightness to the headphones that can sometimes sound a bit harsh on orchestral music, such as "The Chairman Dances," by John Adams. Orchestral tracks seem to fill out a bit more in the low-end and mid frequencies when the volume is high, and these types of tracks do not distort. However, at the same high volumes, tracks with deep bass, like The Knife's "Silent Shout" and Thom Yorke's "Cymbal Rush" distort. Lowering them takes away a bit of the punch of the low-end, but the M-80 still offers a pleasant response, and obviously sounds better distortion-free. The real issue here is that at $230, distortion should be non-existent.
An excellent example of what can be achieved in this price range is the Editors' Choice Denon AH D1100 ($199.99, 4.5 stars). The bass response is not overwhelming, the headphones sound balanced and amazing, and there is no distortion at any volume—all for $30 less. If you can handle an in-ear pair of earphones, you can find superb fit and audio response for substantially less money, as with another Editors' Choice, the Bowers & Wilkins C5 In-Ear Headphones ($179.95, 4.5 stars).
If you are willing to spend a bit more and still want an on-ear pair, B&W also makes another Editors' Choice, the magnificent P5 ($299.95, 4.5 stars). And if all of these are well out of your range, but you like the idea of on-ear, open headphones, check out the time-tested budget favorites, Grado's SR60 ($79.99, 4 stars), but remember: on-ear pairs block out less sound and emit more sound that nearby people will be able to hear. V-Moda' Crossfade M-80 is a decent pair of headphones, but it belongs in a more affordable price bracket than the one it's in, and it can't keep up with the Denons and B&Ws of the world.

Reading Time: 1 minute
Google Chrome is one of the fastest and most popular web browser in the world.
Recently, there is a major problem reported with Google Chrome. When the webpage loads in Chrome, the page starts jumping and skipping. The problem is you can't click on any links because the page keeps skipping even when you try to click on a link. This mostly results in clicking the back button to go to previous page or completely close down the website. The problem is frequent in poorly coded websites, sites which use lot of java and flash scripts and slowly loading websites.
However, the fix is very simple.
- Open Google Chrome
- Type chrome://flags/ in address bar and hit Enter to open the Google Flags page
- Scroll down to Scroll Anchoring (You can use Ctrl + F to open Find window, then type Scroll Anchoring to narrow down to the option from the long list.)
- Change it from Default to Enabled
- Click Relaunch Now
Once the browser is relaunched, you won't have the problem of webpage jumping and skipping without any change in quality of performance.

All my life, which is a few years in total now, I have never had "the gang" or "the group" of close friends. I am the one who can count a good solid friendship on one hand, but have always considered that all I needed. That one true friend, who knew all, said nothing and would always be by your side.
Funny how that means so many different things to so few people. As I sit here and wonder, where they are, how it took place, or maybe what did I do (although what I didn't do may be a better response) that would leave me here by myself for years!
Friendship is not a come as you feel like it, although it should be a come as you are. Friendship is not a one sided relationship, although both sides should feel as one. Friendship is not a season, friendship should be a lifetime.
For years I was the one who sat behind, as others moved in shotgun. Traveling at all hours day and night to pick up, drop off, purchase something needed, and so forth, the things that friends do for one another. Taking the blame for things I did not do in hopes of saving that good friend some pain, embarrassment, a hollering from someone that they would rather not see. Stepping into predicaments I did not want to be in, all in the name of that forever friend.
Forever sure went by fast. As I sit here this night wondering, do they know I am lonely, a tear in my eye, a whole in my soul…….do they care? Do they think of me at all, besides how nice it would be if they could give me a quick call to do the next thing for them.
Sad at my age, to feel left out because I do not possess the money to do the same, have the same "no fear, get up and move" attitude. The "screw them" way of thinking that seemed to be the norm. Was I blind by the fun times, calls to be a part of something I thought I belonged to. Hard to explain as you sit here alone, looking at pictures on social media of great laughs, fun times, with names of people involved……and your name, face, not mentioned.
I am too old to cry about it, I am too kindhearted to complain about, but most of all…….I am simply me. Simply the girl you took forgranted, the best person you will ever meet, the one who had your back, your tear, your family and your hand………….when someone shows you who they really are……believe them.
After all we are designed to……..love ourselves.

The redesigned 2013 SRT Viper goes on sale in mid-November priced from just under $100,000, making it the most expensive car in Chrysler's U.S. lineup.
The first Vipers off the assembly line in Detroit will be coupes. The original Viper, introduced in early 1992, was a two-passenger convertible. Asked if Chrysler has plans to add a Viper roadster to the new lineup, a company spokesman said, "Nothing yet."
The standard Viper will start at $99,390, while the uplevel Viper GTS will be priced from $122,390. Both stickers include a $1,995 shipping charge.
The relaunch of the Viper sports car, which has been absent from the market for two years, is another signal of Chrysler's resurgence under corporate parent Fiat SpA, which took control of the No. 3 U.S. automaker after its 2009 bankruptcy.
Chrysler said the first Vipers should be delivered to customers in December.
The Viper's nearest domestic competitor is General Motors Co's Chevrolet Corvette ZR1, which has a base sticker of $113,575, including shipping and a federal gas-guzzler tax. Chrysler said Viper will have a gas-guzzler tax, but prices do not yet reflect the tax because official EPA fuel-economy numbers have not been released for the car.
The new Viper features one of the largest engines available in a U.S. production car — an 8.4-liter V10 rated at 640 horsepower. The Corvette ZR1 has a 6.2-liter V8 that delivers 638 horsepower.
The last Viper was sold by Chrysler under the Dodge brand as a 2010 model. The latest edition, which carries the SRT brand, was unveiled earlier this year at the New York auto show.

Science Daily/Inderscience
A study of clinical errors made by resident physicians in a teaching hospital reveals that the more tired they are the more mistakes they make. The study published in the International Journal of Behavioural and Healthcare Research puts figures to this seemingly obvious conclusion and shows that fewer errors are made if clinical practices are standardised. The research could help promote the case for improved working conditions for junior doctors in order to improve patient outcomes.
Zvi Stern of the Hadassah Hebrew University Medical Center in Jerusalem, Israel, and colleagues report that resident physicians, colloquially known as "residents" are the frontline providers of the majority of in-patient medical care in teaching hospitals. The work is stressful, has often overwhelming responsibilities, and involves working long hours with little opportunity for adequate sleep and recuperation. Previous research has shown that sleep deprivation due to long working hours is a major factor in clinical errors made by residents.
The Harvard Work Hours, Health and Safety Study presented the most rigorous proof that fatigue causes medical errors and led to the US Accreditation Council for graduate medical education limiting residents' working hours. However, this has been criticised more recently in light of the fact that even with reduced hours errors made by residents remain a major problem in many teaching hospitals.

Calculation of mid-cycle for a woman is usually done to determine fertility and ovulation. Dr. Roger W. Harms from the Mayo Clinic states that ovulation happens around day 14 of the menstrual cycle. This is the mid-cycle point for a woman with "normal" menstruation, or a 28-day cycle. However, you may have a longer or shorter menstrual cycle, meaning your mid -ycle, or ovulation, point might be earlier or later than day 14.
Track your menstrual periods for three months to accurately determine the length of your cycle. Most women have a 28-day cycle, but some women fluctuate on a monthly basis and can have shorter or longer cycles.
Mark the first day of your menstrual period on the calendar by circling or placing an "X" on the date. This is the start of your cycle.
Mark the beginning of your next menstrual period during the next month. Count the number of days in between. That is the length of one menstrual cycle.
Repeat Steps 2 and 3 over a three-month period to get an average cycle length. Add the sum of your three cycle lengths together and divide the number by three to get your average cycle length. For example, if your monthly cycle lengths are 28, 30 and 29, your average cycle length is 29 days.
Divide your cycle length by two to determine the mid-cycle day. Your mid-cycle day for a 29-day cycle would be day 15 (14.5, rounded up to 15).
Most recent
- Round up or down when calculating your cycle length. For example, in Step 4, the average of those cycles is 28.6, but round up to 29 days.

Body Image in the Fashion World
Media has been highlighting thinner-than-average models since Lesley Lawson, more commonly known as the infamous Twiggy, began her career in the 1960's. In more recent years, the knowledge of the people on the subject of body image has grown extensively and has completely changed the way we see each other.
For some time, the qualifications and expectations of models included a specific height, overall delicate look, and weight; a weight that some would die to be. This posed more problems than what could have been seen from a two page spread in any given magazine, a thirty second television ad, or a single post on social media. This called for war upon ourselves. French model and anorexia sufferer, Isabelle Caro, became the voice of the No Anorexia ad campaign, and after a multitude of interviews on the subject, Jessica Simpson, co-host of The Price of Beauty, was so touched by the story that she sympathetically stated, "What you are doing right now makes you one of the most beautiful people, and it is important for women to know that the skinnier you are does not make you more beautiful." Isabelle lost her battle in 2010 to Anorexia Nervosa.
After this occurrence, it was evident that the world needed a revolutionary movement to break the stigma surrounding such a fatal fad. Adele, the British vocalist who takes pride in being a plus-sized woman, graced the cover of Vogue's 2012 March edition. Though many individuals at that moment were in disbelief, Adele expressed that "I represent the majority of women and I'm very proud of that." Robyn Lawley, the first woman above sample sizes to be featured in Sport's Illustrated Swimsuit Issue, has taken that plus-sized pride and begun to influence body diversity alterations in the fashion industry this year. Being a designer herself, the importance of the clothing fitting the woman rather than the woman fitting the clothing is emphasized. The fashion world is now introducing the idea of women embracing their bodies and who they are inside to knock down the size barriers. No matter how big or small, the model mold will be broken.
