Objective To investigate the antihyperglycaemic activity of laser acupuncture stimulation at 650 and 980 nm at BL20 in streptozotocin (STZ)-induced diabetic rats.
Methods Seventy healthy adult male albino Wistar rats weighing 250±50 g were divided into seven groups of 10 animals each. Groups I–III comprised healthy control rats which were untreated (I) or stimulated with laser acupuncture at 650 nm (II) and 980 nm (III), respectively. Groups IV–VII underwent induction of diabetes with a single intraperitoneal administration of STZ at 50 mg/kg. Animals with blood glucose levels of ≥200 mg/dL on the fifth day were used for the experiments and were left untreated (group IV), treated with glibenclamide (group V) or stimulated with laser acupuncture at 650 nm (group VI) and 980 nm (group VII), respectively. Laser acupuncture was applied at BL20 on alternate days for a total of 12 sessions over a 28-day period.
Results After 28 days of treatment, STZ-induced diabetic rats stimulated with laser acupuncture at 650 and 980 nm had significantly lower glucose levels compared with untreated diabetic rats (242.0±65.0 and 129.8±33.2 vs 376.5±10.0 mg/dL, both p≤0.05). Treatment at 980 nm also attenuated the increase in glucose between day 1 and day 28 compared with the glibenclamide-treated diabetic group (41.5±19.6 mg/dL vs 164.1±13.7 g/dL, p<0.05). Laser acupuncture treatment did not affect the blood count or biochemical profile and was not associated with any morphological changes in the pancreas, liver, kidney or spleen.
Conclusions Stimulation with laser acupuncture at 650 and 980 nm at BL20 in STZ-induced diabetic rats has antihyperglycaemic activity. The results support further evaluation of laser acupuncture as an alternative or complementary treatment for the control of hyperglycaemia.

Diabetes mellitus is an aetiologically and clinically heterogeneous group of chronic disorders characterised by hyperglycaemia and disturbances in the metabolism of carbohydrates, fats and proteins. Diabetes can occur when the pancreas does not produce sufficient insulin (a hormone that regulates blood sugar) or when the body cannot effectively use the insulin it produces.
There are two main types of diabetes.
Type 1 diabetes involves the autoimmune destruction of pancreatic β-cells and patients therefore have a complete deficiency of insulin. Patients with this type of diabetes, which can be immunologically mediated or idiopathic, are rarely obese. Type 2 diabetes can vary between a state of insulin resistance with relative insulin deficiency and a predominantly secretory defect with insulin resistance. Unlike type 1 diabetes, most patients suffer from obesity, which itself causes some degree of insulin resistance. Patients who are not categorised as obese tend to accumulate body fat in the abdominal region.1 Uncontrolled diabetes produces hyperglycaemia and can cause serious damage to many of the body systems, especially the heart, blood vessels, eyes, kidneys and nerves.2 It is estimated that 347 million people worldwide have diabetes, which is responsible for approximately 3.4 million deaths annually. More than 80% of deaths caused by diabetes occur in developing countries.2
The treatment of diabetes involves lowering blood glucose. Patients with type 1 diabetes require insulin while those with type 2 diabetes can often be treated with hypoglycaemic medications but may additionally require insulin. Management also involves blood pressure control, screening and treatment for retinopathy, blood lipid control and screening for early signs of kidney disease. These measures should be complemented by a healthy diet, regular physical activity, maintenance of normal body weight and avoidance of tobacco use.2
The hypoglycaemic drugs currently used to treat diabetes are expensive and are associated with undesirable side effects. There is growing interest in alternative therapies, which may offer an economical and effective treatment choice without side effects.3 Acupuncture is an important component of Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) and has been used for thousands of years.4 However, despite this long history and tradition, it is not a static discipline. One of the most recent technological developments has been the application of laser to acupuncture points. Laser acupuncture is defined as the stimulation of traditional acupuncture points with low-intensity, non-thermal laser irradiation5 and uses different wavelengths in the green, yellow, orange, red and infrared regions of the electromagnetic spectrum.6
Classical acupuncture therapy and electroacupuncture have been used for treatment of diabetes and its complications over recent decades.3 Experimental studies have demonstrated that acupuncture can treat various metabolic disorders such as hyperglycaemia, obesity, hyperphagia, hyperlipidaemia, inflammation, altered activity of the sympathetic nervous system and insulin signalling defects.3 ,7 Stimulation of the BL20 acupuncture point is indicated in TCM to treat diabetes and its complications.8–10 BL20 is located 1.5 cun (two finger breadths) lateral to the dorsal midline, at the level of the lower border of the spinous process of the eleventh thoracic vertebra (T11). The aim of this study was to evaluate the antihyperglycaemic effect of laser acupuncture (650 and 980 nm) at BL20 and the associated impact on haematological, biochemical and histopathological parameters in streptozotocin (STZ)-induced diabetic rats.
Materials and methods
STZ-induced diabetic rats
Healthy adult male albino Wistar rats weighing 250±50 g were obtained from the biotery of the Facultad de Estudios Superiores Iztcala-UNAM. The animals were housed at the biotery of the Escuela Nacional de Medicina y Homeopatía-Instituto Politécnico Nacional (IPN) and kept in acrylic cages at 24±2°C under 12 h light/dark cycles and fed with rodent diet and water ad libitum. Diabetes was induced by a single administration of STZ from Sigma Chemical Co. (St Louis, Missouri, USA) at 50 mg/kg intraperitoneally.11 After 48 h and 5 days, glucose concentrations were measured in blood samples obtained by tail vein puncture after 10 h of fasting using a glucometer (Optium Xceed; Abbott Laboratories, Abbott Park, Illinois, USA). Animals that had a blood glucose level of ≥200 mg/dL on the fifth day were used for the experiments. All of the animal procedures were performed according to the Mexican Official Standards (NOM-033-ZOO-1995 and NOM-062-ZOO-1999)12 ,13 and were approved by the Ethical Animal Committee of the Escuela Nacional de Medicina y Homeopatía-IPN act ENMH-CB-057, which complies with international rules and policies.
Laser acupuncture treatment (650 and 980 nm) at BL20
Stimulation with laser acupuncture at BL20 was applied every other day up to a total of 12 sessions over 28 days under the following conditions: wavelength 650 or 980 nm (7 and 50 mW output, respectively), duration 30 s bilaterally, energy output 2.49 J and frequency 3000 Hz (Acupoint 2045D, 50 mW output, Acupoint, Mexico).
Laser acupuncture was applied by FB-C, GC-V and JMO-R (professors and doctors who have specialised in acupuncture for more than 10 years) and by MdCA-G and RdlC-R (students specialising in acupuncture during the development of this research).
The treatment was started on the seventh day after STZ administration. The animals were divided into seven groups of 10 animals each. Group I was an untreated healthy control group. Groups II and III were healthy control groups stimulated with laser acupuncture at 650 and 980 nm, respectively. Groups IV and V were STZ-induced diabetic groups that were left untreated and treated with the reference drug (glibenclamide, 1 mg/kg daily by an intragastric route), respectively. Groups VI and VII were STZ-induced diabetic groups stimulated with laser acupuncture at 650 and 980 nm, respectively.
Blood glucose concentrations were measured in all the animals after 10 h of fasting once a week using a glucometer in blood samples obtained by tail vein puncture. Changes in the body weight of the animals between the first day (before the beginning of the experiment) and the 28th day (after treatment) were recorded.
Full blood count and biochemical profile
After 28 days of treatment and 10 h of fasting, animals were humanely killed according to the International Standards and NOM-033-ZOO-1995 as previously described.12 Two blood samples were obtained from each rat by cardiac puncture. The first sample was mixed with anticoagulant (EDTA) and processed in a Beckman Coulter AC-T instrument prior to determination of the following blood parameters: haemoglobin level plus leucocyte, granulocyte, lymphocyte and monocyte counts. The second sample was collected without anticoagulant and was centrifuged at 570 g for 10 min at 4°C and processed in a Cobas Mira Roche instrument. The resultant serum was analysed and the following biochemical parameters were measured: cholesterol, triglycerides, high density lipoprotein (HDL), low density lipoprotein (LDL), very low density lipoprotein (VLDL), urea, creatinine, aspartate aminotransferase (AST), alanine aminotransferase (ALT) plus direct, indirect and total bilirubin.
Morphology and histopathological analyses
A complete dissection was performed and pancreas, liver, spleen and kidney tissues were macroscopically examined. Samples (0.5–1 cm) of each organ were fixed in 10% neutral buffered formalin (J T Baker) with phosphate buffered saline. After the usual processes of dehydration, clearing and infiltration, the organs were embedded in paraffin and sectioned into 6–10 µm slices with a microtome. The tissues were stained with haematoxylin and eosin and slides were prepared and examined microscopically and photographed using an achromatic plane objective (10×, 40× and 100×).
Statistical analyses
Results are expressed as mean±SEM. Statistical significance was determined by one-way analysis of variance followed by a Newman–Keuls post hoc multiple comparison test. GraphPad Prism Version 5.0 (GraphPad Software) was used for statistical analysis. A p value <0.05 was considered to be statistically significant.
Antihyperglycaemic activity of laser acupuncture treatment (650 and 980 nm) at BL20
Table 1 shows glucose levels at days 1 and 28 by experimental group as well as the mean difference between the two time points for each individual animal. As expected, there were no statistically significant differences in baseline glucose levels between the seven groups prior to administration of STZ and/or treatment with laser acupuncture or glibenclamide. Glucose levels of the healthy untreated rats and healthy controls stimulated with laser acupuncture (groups I–III) remained <100 mg/dL throughout the experiment and did not differ significantly at day 28 relative to day 1. By contrast, glucose levels in the untreated diabetic group (group IV) were significantly elevated at day 28 (p<0.01), indicating successful induction of hyperglycaemia by STZ. Compared to baseline, levels were similarly elevated in groups V and VI (diabetic rats treated with glibenclamide and 650 nm laser acupuncture, respectively, p<0.05) but not in group VII (STZ plus 980 nm laser acupuncture). Consequently, when the overall changes in glucose level from day 1 to day 28 were analysed, untreated diabetic rats had a significantly greater increase in glucose than the healthy control groups. This increase appeared to be mitigated in all three treated diabetic groups as the increase in glucose was smaller (p<0.001) than for untreated diabetic rats. This effect was most pronounced in group VII (diabetic rats receiving 980 nm laser acupuncture), which did not differ significantly from the healthy controls with respect to the overall glucose changes.
Body weight
Rats in all three healthy control groups gained weight over the 28-day period of the experiment (table 2). This body weight gain was reduced significantly (p<0.01) in untreated diabetic rats (group IV) compared with healthy non-diabetic rats (groups I–III). In the diabetic group treated with glibenclamide (group V), a slight recovery of the weight gain was observed as the body weight gain did not differ significantly from healthy controls in this group (p>0.05). In the diabetic groups treated with laser acupuncture at 650 and 980 nm (groups VI and VII), no such recovery of weight gain was observed.
Full blood count and biochemical profile
Values for the blood counts (leucocytes, granulocytes, lymphocytes and monocytes) and haemoglobin level of diabetic animals treated with glibenclamide or laser acupuncture at 650 and 980 nm (groups V–VII) were not significantly different from those of healthy rats (groups I–III), as illustrated in table 3. However, untreated diabetic rats had lower leucocyte counts than untreated healthy control animals (p<0.05). This STZ-induced reduction in leucocytes appeared to be attenuated by glibenclamide and laser acupuncture treatment, as the levels did not differ between groups I–III and groups V–VI (p>0.05).
Table 4 shows the lipid profiles (cholesterol, triglycerides, HDL, LDL and VLDL) by experimental group. Diabetic animals treated with laser acupuncture at 650 and 980 nm presented no statistically significant differences from the healthy control groups. The diabetic group treated with glibenclamide exhibited elevated levels of VLDL compared with the untreated healthy group only (p<0.05).
Similarly, the kidney (urea and creatinine) and liver (AST, ALT, direct bilirubin, indirect bilirubin and total bilirubin) profiles of diabetic animals treated with laser acupuncture at 650 and 980 nm did not show any statistically significant differences compared with the healthy groups (table 5). The untreated diabetic group showed a significant increase in the ALT enzyme level (p<0.05) relative to the healthy rats (groups I–III). Finally, the diabetic group treated with glibenclamide had higher levels of direct bilirubin (p<0.05) and total bilirubin (p<0.01) than the healthy control groups I–III.
Morphology and histopathological analyses
Tissue sections from the pancreas, liver, spleen and kidneys of rats treated with laser acupuncture treatment (650 nm and 980 nm) at BL20 were examined. Histological analysis of the pancreas from healthy groups and diabetic animals treated with laser (650 nm and 980 nm) or glibenclamide showed normal lobes, intralobular and extralobular ducts, connective tissue, arteries, veins, acinar cells, zymogen granules, centroacinar cells and islets of Langerhans. By contrast, samples from the untreated and glibenclamide-treated diabetic groups were characterised by reductions in the size of the islets of Langerhans and alterations in nuclear architecture with karyolysis and acidophilia. In addition, areas of necrosis and hypervascularised pancreatic tissue were observed. However, in the diabetic animals treated with laser at 650 nm there was no reduction in the size of the islets of Langerhans and the damage appeared reduced. In the case of diabetic animals treated with laser at 980 nm, cellular multiplications in the islets of Langerhans preserving nuclear architecture were found (figure 1).
Liver sections from healthy groups and diabetic animals treated with either laser acupuncture (650 nm and 980 nm) or glibenclamide showed normal hepatic architecture of Glisson's capsule, lobules, central vein, portal vein, portal artery, bile duct, hepatocytes, Küpfer cells and hepatic cords. By contrast, in the untreated diabetic animals, areas of necrosis and hypervascularity were found (figure 1).
Splenic sections from all seven experimental groups exhibited normal architecture of capsule, white pulp, red pulp, central artery, lymphoid follicles, splenic sinusoids, blood vessels and splenic cords (figure 1).
Kidney sections from all seven experimental groups showed a normal renal cortex with normal appearances of the capsule, glomerulus, urinary pole, intracapsular space, vascular pole, macula densa, distal tubule, proximal tubule, afferent artery, efferent artery and loop of Henle. However, a reduction in glomerular size was noted in the untreated diabetic group and diabetic groups treated with glibenclamide and laser acupuncture at 650 nm. By contrast, this glomerular atrophy appeared to be attenuated in the diabetic group treated with laser acupuncture at 980 nm (figure 1).
Antihyperglycaemic activity of laser acupuncture treatment (650 and 980 nm) at BL20
Acupuncture and electroacupuncture stimulation have been evaluated in view of their ability to lower blood glucose in hyperglycaemic humans and animal models at several acupuncture points.14 However, this is the first study that describes the antihyperglycaemic action of laser acupuncture at BL20 in an animal model.
In the present study, the STZ-induced diabetic group stimulated with laser acupuncture at 650 nm exhibited a 45% reduction in the elevation of glucose levels observed in untreated diabetic rats. Furthermore, the STZ-induced diabetic group treated with laser acupuncture at 980 nm showed an 85% reduction relative to no treatment and 75% relative to diabetic rats treated with glibenclamide. It is noteworthy that the variance in day 28 glucose levels in the diabetic animals treated with glibenclamide or laser acupuncture was greater than untreated diabetic or healthy control rats, suggesting a variable response to treatment.
Previous studies have demonstrated that stimulation at BL20 in combination with other acupuncture points can reduce glucose levels and help reduce complications related to diabetes. Acupuncture stimulation at Yishu, BL13 and BL20 every other day for 12 weeks decreases fasting blood glucose to levels similar to that achieved with the reference drug (glibenclamide) and significantly reduces the fasting levels of insulin and leptin as well as insulin resistance.15 Electroacupuncture applied at a frequency of 5 Hz at BL23, BL20, ST36 and SP6 significantly reduces the fasting level of plasma glucose and the blood glucose load (measured by the glucose tolerance test (GTT)) in patients with impaired glucose tolerance.10 ,16 Electroacupuncture at ST36, ST25 and BL20 has an effect on obesity in rats, which may be related to upregulation of obestatin expression in the hypothalamus.17 With classical acupuncture, it has been reported that stimulation at BL18, BL20 and ST36 can improve and postpone the clinical symptoms of diabetic nephropathy.18
Acupuncture at other points have shown similar results—notably, acupuncture at TE5 in patients with cerebral infarction increases glucose metabolism locally in the cerebrum.19 Stimulation of the auricular cavum concha for 30 min daily for 3 months significantly decreases the fasting level of plasma glucose and the blood glucose load measured by GTT.20 Auricular electroacupuncture stimulation of the ipsilateral Yi-Dan and Er-Shenmen points in rats can reduce diabetic cellular injury, suppress tumour necrosis factor α expression and reduce intercellular adhesion molecule 1 (ICAM-1) and soluble vascular cell adhesion molecule 1 (sVCAM-1) concentrations in cerebral microvascular endotheliocytes.21 In addition, acupuncture stimulation five times per week for 4–5 weeks in the abdominal and hind limb muscle of rats had a positive effect on the oral GTT.22
Despite numerous clinical and preclinical studies demonstrating that laser acupuncture is effective in treating various diseases, its mechanism of action is still not fully understood.23 It is widely accepted that the effect begins with stimulation of the nervous system24 and, in the case of the acupuncture point ST36, the hypoglycaemic effect appears to be mediated by cholinergic nerves as it is blocked by atropine. This cholinergic stimulation results in the release of proteins involved in the insulin signalling cascade, such as insulin-like growth factor and β-endorphin.25 Previously it has been reported that treatment by electroacupuncture at CV12 induces secretion of endogenous β-endorphin which, in turn, stimulates the secretion of pancreatic insulin and glucagon causing the blood glucose lowering effect.26
In other studies of electroacupuncture it has been observed that regulation of fasting blood glucose and insulin levels is due to increased expression of sirtuin 1 (SIRT1) in skeletal muscle and peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor γ coactivator 1α (PGC-1α).27 SIRT1 increases insulin sensitivity by repression of inflammation and is associated directly or indirectly with insulin signalling, whereas PCG-1α is a metabolic coactivator that interacts with transcription factors to induce mitochondrial biogenesis and respiration. The proposed mechanism suggests the activation of endothelial nitric oxide synthase (eNOS) by electroacupuncture stimulation. eNOS stimulates the expression of SIRT1 which, by deacetylation, produces PGC-1α which is required to activate genes associated with mitochondrial fatty acid oxidation in response to energy demands. The resultant increase in expression of mitochondrial genes is responsible for the regulation of blood glucose and insulin levels.27
The technique of laser acupuncture has many advantages over traditional acupuncture or electroacupuncture. A major advantage is its non-invasiveness, as the patient does not feel the acupuncture point stimulation, and treatments have low costs and a low risk of collateral damage from a combination of laser acupuncture with other medical treatments.
There are a few studies that have directly compared laser acupuncture with traditional acupuncture or electroacupuncture. Jiang et al28 found that classical acupuncture at BL18, BL20 and BL23 has a hypoglycaemic effect when applied preventively and therapeutically. El-Kharbotly et al29 recently reported that electroacupuncture and laser acupuncture are equally effective in the treatment of cervical spondylosis pain, while Cunha et al30 found that laser acupuncture but not traditional acupuncture improves the revascularisation index in patients with peripheral arterial disease.
Laser acupuncture has been used successfully in the treatment of many conditions including diabetic foot ulcers, pain, hypertension and overweight/obesity. However, direct comparisons with traditional acupuncture or electroacupuncture are problematic because acupuncture points, timings and conditions of laser treatment differ widely.5 ,31 ,32
Currently, the exact mechanism of action by which 980 nm laser acupuncture at point BL20 induces an antihyperglycaemic effect remains unknown.
Body weight
Relative loss of body weight in STZ-induced diabetes occurs due to increased catabolism of fatty acids and proteins leading to muscle wasting.33 ,34 In this experiment, body weight gain was significantly lower in untreated diabetic rats and a non-significant recovery of weight was observed in the diabetic groups treated with laser acupuncture at 650 and 980 nm.
This observation could be due to more effective control of the hyperglycaemic condition of the diabetic animals because it has been observed that a decrease in blood glucose levels may improve body weight in STZ-induced diabetic rats.35 ,36 As this behaviour relates more to type 1 diabetes, it would be interesting to evaluate the effect of laser acupuncture treatment in models that are closer to models of type 2 diabetes, such as db/db or ob/ob mice, or repeated low-dose STZ.37 ,38
Full blood count and biochemical profile
There were no significant differences in blood counts between healthy control and treated diabetic groups, but leucocyte counts were decreased in the untreated diabetic animals. This decrease was restored in the diabetic groups treated with glibenclamide and laser acupuncture at 650 and 980 nm.
The lipid profile results were not significantly different between healthy control groups and diabetic animals treated with laser acupuncture at 650 and 980 nm. However, VLDL levels were significantly elevated in diabetic rats treated with glibenclamide. This effect has been reported previously by our group.39
The hepatic and renal profiles of untreated diabetic animals revealed elevated ALT levels, while diabetic animals treated with glibenclamide had significantly higher levels of total bilirubin and direct bilirubin. The increase in the concentration of the transferase enzymes involves processes of hepatic and myocardial necrosis, and similar values have been described extensively in the STZ-induced rat model of diabetes.40–42 Laser treatment at 650 and 980 nm reverses these elevated ALT levels, suggesting clinical recovery.
Morphology and histopathological analyses
No obvious damage as a result of the application of the laser was observed in any of the organs analysed. By contrast, laser acupuncture treatment appears to reverse or prevent reductions in the size of the islets of Langerhans and the appearance of areas of necrosis and hypervascularisation of the pancreatic and liver tissues. Prevention of pancreatic islet damage has been reported following traditional acupuncture at points BL18, BL20 and BL23.28
The hepatic damage observed is related to the elevated ALT enzyme levels found in the untreated diabetic group. Normal renal function in healthy control groups was confirmed by physiological urea and creatinine values.
In conclusion, stimulation with laser acupuncture at 650 nm and 980 nm at BL20 in STZ-induced diabetic rats has an antihyperglycaemic effect. Treatment did not cause any alteration in the blood count and lipid profile, reversed the increased ALT levels caused by STZ administration, and was not associated with any morphological changes in the pancreas, liver, kidney or spleen. Treatment prevented the appearance of areas of necrosis and hypervascularisation of pancreatic and hepatic tissue. Treatment also prevented the reduction in the size of the islets of Langerhans (650 nm only) and induced cellular multiplications in them (980 nm only). To our knowledge, this is the first study to assess the antihyperglycaemic activity of laser acupuncture and the first to report this activity by stimulation at BL20 in an animal model. Further evaluation of laser acupuncture as an alternative or complementary treatment for the control of hyperglycaemia is warranted.
Summary points
We evaluated the effect of laser acupuncture at 650 and 980 nm at point BL20 on hyperglycaemia in a rat model of diabetes induced by streptozotocin (STZ).
After 28 days of treatment STZ-induced diabetic rats receiving laser acupuncture had significantly lower glucose levels relative to untreated diabetic controls.
Laser acupuncture may have a role in the treatment for diabetes but further research (including randomised controlled trials in human subjects) are required.

PORTSMOUTH'S leader has spoken of her sadness and shock at the terror attacks in Paris last night.
Councillor Donna Jones, who is due to visit Paris in three weeks for talks about bringing the Tour De France to Portsmouth, said she was 'appalled' by the tragedy.
It comes as the death toll has risen to 127 and French president Francois Hollande declared the terror attacks as an 'act of war' and blamed the Islamic State terror group for the carnage.
Cllr Jones told The News: 'It appears that the attacks are from ISIL in response to the Syrian air attacks led by America and supported by France.
'The attacks last night are appalling and a sad indictment of the current state of play in the world.
'In Portsmouth, as a military city, we are well-prepared for any preventative terrorist action and have excellent operation controls in place with the Royal Navy and local police.'
She added: 'I am sad, shocked and appalled at the loss of human life.
'There's no place in a civilised society for terrorism.
'Britain will do all it can to oust and stop the terrorist behaviour.'
She said security in Portsmouth and the rest of the UK was stepped up well in advance of the attack last night.
'We already had a heightened state of alert anyway,' she told The News.
'The UK is on a heightened state of alert and has been for a while.'
She said she would need to take advice about whether she would go to Paris in December.
'It's an amazing city,' she added.
This morning the Islamic State terror group claimed responsibility for the attacks, saying they were a response to air strikes in their territory.
Mr Hollande declared three days of national mourning and vowed that France would be 'pitiless' in its response to terrorism.
A manhunt is under way for accomplices of gunmen who targeted a concert hall and the French national football stadium and sprayed the terraces of bars and restaurants with gunfire in at least six almost simultaneous attacks.
French authorities said they believed all eight of those involved in the attacks were dead - seven of them killed by suicide bombs - but Paris's chief prosecutor said it was possible other terrorists were still on the run.
Policing was being strengthened at ports and major events in the UK, and Prime Minister David Cameron was due to chair a meeting of the Government's Cobra emergency committee which could raise the official assessment of the threat from international terrorism from its current 'severe' level.
In a televised address to the nation, Mr Hollande said the attacks were 'committed by a terrorist army, the Islamic State group, a jihadist army, against France, against the values that we defend everywhere in the world, against what we are: a free country that means something to the whole planet.'
He added that France 'will be merciless toward the barbarians of Islamic State group', and 'will act by all means anywhere, inside or outside the country.
Mr Hollande said the French army and security forces were mobilised 'at the highest possible level' and insisted France would 'triumph over barbarity.
'What we are defending is our country, but more than that, it is our values,' he said.
In a night of carnage in the French capital:
- Police stormed the Bataclan concert hall where hostages were being held, but attackers wearing suicide belts blew themselves up, leaving 80 people feared dead. A witness said one of the gunmen shouted 'Allahu Akbar' and said 'This is for Syria' - a possible reference to France's participation in air strikes against Islamic State
- Two suicide attacks and a bombing took place at the Stade de France stadium, where Mr Hollande was among thousands of football fans watching the national side play a friendly against Germany
- Gunmen targeted bars and restaurants in the 10th and 11th arrondissements of central Paris
- As many as 18 people died when the terrace of La Belle Equipe was sprayed with gunfire, while around 14 people were killed at Le Carillon bar-cafe. There were also shootings at the nearby Cambodian restaurant Le Petit Cambodge and the La Casa Nostra pizzeria
A state of emergency was declared in France after the worst night of violence in the country since the Second World War.
The attacks come after the Charlie Hebdo atrocity in January, which saw 12 people killed after gunmen stormed the Paris offices of the satirical magazine.
They also came a day after Islamic State militant Mohammed Emwazi, known as Jihadi John, was targeted in a US air strike in Syria.

Knitting and mothering!
My Calmer Aura cap is finished, with a photo shoot downtown on a beautiful late summer evening.
I think I've got one too many projects going on right now. In addition to the pooling colors scarf knit along I started Paris Loop and Aura, the lace cap from the Calmer book. Paris Loop isn't photographing well inside and I'm lounging with a sleeping baby, that is I'm too lazy to go out. :) Aura's indoor photograph of the lace pattern turned out decently.
Here we are in our matching bucket hats.
While my mother in law was here I started knitting a purse while we watched the Olympics and she held John. It's Berga, from Cornelia Tuttle Hamilton's Noro Book One. Mine is made from Cotton Fleece instead of the beautiful Cash Iroha called for in the pattern. The knitting was done in a day and an extended nap for John let me finish it up this morning. It still needs some blocking, a button and a lining, but it's a very pretty little purse.
Last week I got sick, my mother-in-law Louise came out to see the baby and my best friend Meriah unexpectedly came in from Mississippi. She'd emailed my old school email address (which I no longer check) in the last few days before it stopped working. So everyone got to hang out with me while I schlepped around the house in nursing pajamas. By Saturday I was feeling slightly better and went to Natterers with Meriah, with everything feeling so normal, just like she'd never moved away. I really miss having my best knitting friend around. Normally there would have been pictures, but I was just glad to be functioning like a semi-normal human. I did finish sewing the ends in on my bucket hat. The tiny one is Sugar 'n Cream Sport, knit in the smallest size with a gauge of 6.5 sts/in. The big one is Cotton Ease, knit to the specified gauge in size medium. Photo shoot coming soon!
I know I'm not the most widely read person in the knitting blog world, but I figured I'd try. If anyone has Phildar books 363 or 372 (2002's Tricotez Calin in French or Breien voor Baby in Dutch) and is willing to part with them, let me know. I'll give you anything but my firstborn since I need him to wear the sweaters. :) I found one at a webstore in the Netherlands, but I'm not entirely sure how to pay at that site and don't have handy European friends to order things for me and then ship them to the US. Other than that, these books are impossible to find and have become the holy grail of baby knitting for me.
Here's John, laying on a blanket from Natterers.
Natterers is a group of women from St. Aidan's Episcopal church who meet once a month to chat and craft. Although Christian and I have been going to St. Thomas Aquinas, we still have a ton of friends at St. Aidan's and I'll keep going to Natterers as long as they'll let me. :) In any case, I'm really touched that they all worked together to make something for me. People love John and made him something and that means so much. What a wonderful blanket!
I'm so excited about this! I've read many blogs in the other secret pal exchanges and wished that I'd signed up. So, whoever my secret pal turns out to be, I look forward to sending you knitting surprises!
Denise Interchangeables are like my own personal accountability system. Since I don't have many other needles in the sizes covered by my Denise set, I can only be working on so many things at a time before I run out of cables. When I went to swatch for Arla, I found I only had the shortest cable and the two straight needle cables remaining. Hmm... Still enough to swatch!
Although it took me a while, I finally found all of the stray parts in various projects around the house.
1. My bucket hat
Started only a little bit ago in a bucket frenzy. I think the week after I cast on was a little hectic. Verdict: I think I'll finish this one before I start on the fall sweaters. The last one knit up quickly and it was made of stiffer yarn on teeny needles.
2. A cotton baby blanket
I started this when I thought I might be pregnant and was waiting out the time until I could test. I went to my friend Andria's "grandma night" and knit so much on it that my wrist hurt. Seed stitch in cotton isn't the greatest. Verdict: Put it on ribbon to hold it until I'm desperate for something mindless to knit.
3. Pi Shawl
I started this project from Weekend Knitting sometime in May to fill my last trimester with knitting goodness. I'm pretty sure I stopped to start the Union Square Shawl/Poncho. I like it, but knitting lace with that sticky, hairy mohair is sort of annoying. And I can't find a color of Koigu to knit the edging with. Verdict: Transfer to waste yarn and put it away until Pi inspiration strikes.
So it looks like all I need to finish up is my bucket hat. This week will be slow knitting-wise though, since my mother-in-law is coming out to visit us and meet John. I'm so excited that more of his family is coming out to see him!
Remember these socks? Yet another project I started in late pregnancy and I've finally picked up again. I needed something easy to knit while I watched the Olympics opening ceremony. I really liked this year's opening ceremony act. Especially the woman with the glowing pregnant belly! But no progress pictures of these socks. Not when there's been yarn shopping!
I can usually convince my husband to drive all over creation so I can find new yarn stores. It's even easier when one of them is near one of his favorite restaurants from his college days. Lunch at Wild Ginger and a stop at the Tattered Cover (we're practically there anyway) and I can yarn shop to my heart's content. This week I learned of two new shops in the Denver area and decided that visiting them this weekend would be wonderfully edifying for my six-week-old. At the very least it will be indirectly good for him by being good for me.
I stopped in at Barnes and Noble last week to feed John (they have really comfortable chairs even if they are a chain with a Starbucks inside) and browsed through Family Circle Easy Knitting. As usual, nothing I wanted to knit, but what's this -- a yarn store in Centennial featured in one of the articles.
Knitty Cat is now my Rowan store. I'd never been to a Rowan stockist with this much yarn before! I also got my first look at those beautiful giant Rowan magazines. I could happily knit from these for quite a while. I decided to come home with a new project. Since my new baby-feeding figure doesn't really accommodate tiny tank tops I ended up with a cold weather project. It's cute, it's large gauge, it opens in the front for easy nursing. It's Bless, from the Cork collection.
There wasn't enough Cork in any color other than black, so I'm having a bag ordered in. I'm going to knit it in a grey called Turbid, but if that's backordered I'm going to get it in a tan called Snuggle. I get a bag discount, too, so it's like getting two skeins free! What could be better? Not wanting to leave without a little yarn, I got a skein of Calmer. I think I'm going to knit a hat similar to the one in the Calmer book.
I also joined the Knitty Cat Race for the Cure Team. That's another easy one to convince my husband about -- Hey, sweetlet, you want to run a 5k? Don't worry, it's after your half marathon. I just need you to hang around until the family fun walk... And we're good to go. :)
From the mile high knit blogs ring I learned about A Knitted Peace in Littleton. This is now my Noro store. I'd only seen Kuryeon and Silk Garden before. There is so much more Noro! On some sort of insane spree (encouraged by my enabler husband) I bought the Cornelia Tuttle Hamilton Collection - Book One. I know that everyone is knitting Klaralund from Book Two, but I ended up with a design called Arla knit in Iro in a beautiful red color. Again, it's very nursing friendly with its buttons on the front. It's such an over the top project for me and I'm so excited about it. Here's Arla
and a pile of Iro.
I don't think I'll be buying yarn for a while, but this will be a beautiful fall!
I finished knitting the pieces for Devan three days before John was born. I blocked it two days before he was born and seamed all but one side seam one day before he was born. Had I had a few more days, Devan would have been done in early July. But Devan's owner was born and Devan was stuck in a bag and put on a shelf. I found this bag yesterday, sewed up that last seam and sewed in a few ends. A quick trip to the store for some little buttons and matching thread, a nice husband who got dinner and did everything around the house for me last night and look -- you've got a sweater! Devan's owner should be up to modeling sometime today.
...we had photos in the sun!
Finally, something with the true colors of my pooling colors scarf.
Although the emailed comments feature was nice, I didn't like that non-blogger people had to sign up or else post anonymously. Hopefully the new Haloscan commenting will work out better.
Here's Anne, with a much more reasonable 41 stitches on size 4 needles. I do like the way it's striped, although the darker colors aren't showing much contrast in this photo. I may have to (gasp!) take it outside and take a picture in real light. When you do all your blogging and photography when your baby's napping, you tend to take what you can get. :)
John was baptized today! More to come on the corrected pooling colors scarf soon...
The blurry picture is due to the low lighting in the church and the no flash during the service rule.
I've been wondering what exactly I was doing wrong on my pooling colors scarf. Not only did I go up to a size 8 needle, I had to use 65 stitches. I was seriously trying to figure out how my skein of Anne could be that different than the one the pattern called for. And why did my scarf have so many more stripes than the one in the pattern?
Today it dawned on me that 65 stitches is getting pretty close to double the number of stitches called for. And, huh, if I were on smaller needles it would take double the number called for in the pattern. Aha! Despite my lack of sleep due to night feedings and diaper changes, I finally figured out that I'd marked every other turning point. I need to mark both ends to get the smaller number of stiches on the smaller needles with fewer stripes. Back into a ball you go, Anne.
I finally started taking pictures of John in his little baby seat, which makes for much easier hat modeling. Here is little mister fashion plate, in his oh-so-trendy Wry Baby onesie and bucket hat.
In his first pose, John shows the versatility of the bucket hat by hiding behind the brim.
For his second pose, John prefers the laid back look.
Which should be the contest entry for the bucket hat knit along?
If for some reason you want to see more baby pictures, you can always check out my baby blog, Johnlet. The primary audience is John's extended family scattered across the country, but every so often someone surprises me by reading it.
My second Lace Along project is complete. The neatest part about it is that I knit about a quarter of it while I was in early labor. If I were to redo this project, I would knit a wider border on the edge to give the piece straighter edges and more stability against rolling. I was trying to match the exact size of the plain fabric baptism stole provided by the church, so that dictated the width and correspondingly narrow border. Still, I like the end result.
Here's the yarn I'm thinking about using for the Pooling Colors scarf.
It's Schaefer Anne in color #12. The dye pattern lines up as it should at the beginning of the skein, but it sort of drifts on a diagonal viewing the skein from the side. I'm hoping it will still work with some minor adjusting along the way.
Monday I realized that with baptism in a week, I'd better finish the baptism stole. Well, Monday's knitting didn't go so well. First, I didn't center the S, then the yarn broke (!) on a k3tog decrease in the C, so there'll be an extra end to sew in. Then when I looked at the pieces side by side, I realized that I'd knit a garter stitch border instead of a seed stitch border on the mistake-filled piece. Three strikes and you're out!
I started again yesterday and made much error free progress. Two letters and some finishing to go!
I also ordered my Anne for the Pooling Colors knitalong. I ordered two different colorways and I'm still not sure which I'll use to knit the scarf. I'm waiting until I see the colors in real life. Once I finish the side seams on Devan, I'll be free to start the scarf.
The baby bucket is done, but a good photo opportunity has yet to present itself. One month old babies are very fun to photograph, but hard to direct as bucket hat models. :)
The bottoms up bucket was so fun though that I had to start one for myself.
I'm using Cotton Ease that I found on clearance at Michael's. There's one right next to the Babies R Us where I find myself shopping on a frighteningly frequent basis. It's as good as yarn shopping gets for me right now.

The 'Nomad' hatchet and knife collection is designed for outdoor adventures. The project is the brainchild of Alexey Pavo, an industrial design graduate from the Shenkar College of Engineering and Design in Israel. Nomad is inspired by the Pavo family's tradition of outdoor traveling and camping, which caused the designer to be immersed in the wilderness from a young age and learn about the tools needed for survival in that environment.
The manufacturing process for the hatchet and knife was based on ancient tool-forging techniques. Steel blocks were heated to close to their melting point, before being struck by a hammer to achieve an individual part.
The tools also have plenty of personality thanks to color variations and Pavo's focus on graphic design.
Ultimately, the Nomad hatchet and knife combine tradition with modernity in the form of outdoor tools. Photo Credits: designboom, cargocollective

What if, on your 65th birthday, you pulled up your bank statement and saw you'd finally reached your milestone goal of setting $1Million aside for retirement. With that and your monthly social security check, are you really in a good spot for retirement?
Is it time to:
- Start planning for the vacations you've always wanted to take?
- Take up new hobbies with your spouse?
- Or dine out more often?
That all depends on one question
And that is: Is this really enough of a cushion for you and your spouse to enjoy for the rest of your lives together?.. Because that's the ultimate goal, isn't it?
Unfortunately, even with a million dollars in the bank, that breaks down to just $25,000 each for the next 20 years, or $138 a day – total.
You can spend that much on a simple trip to the mall.
Yes, the extra $86 from Social Security helps – assuming that the program survives another election…
But, when you look at all the medical expenses that go along with growing older, it's easy to see that $224 a day only covers the essentials. What about everything you're dreaming of?
How do you have enough money for retirement?
That's why it's not enough to set money aside for when you retire. Because even if you retire as a millionaire, you don't want to have to live just north of the poverty line for the rest of your life.
That's why 'making your money work for you' is the only reasonable way to plan for your future.
And that requires action – putting your money into action for you.
In my 4 ½ years as a MET LIFE financial planner, I've advised hundreds of families on how to set up their finances for a successful retirement.
I show them that, "while you're celebrating your 70th birthday, your money should be doing something to make sure you can afford the next big family vacation when you turn 75.
And while you're on that trip, your investments should already be growing in value so you can continue to enjoy your life in the future."
That means setting up an income stream with enough profitability.
Something that allows you to:
1. Live comfortably, and
2. Have the capital you need so you can re-invest to keep the process going.
My personal success story
Land Banking is the only kind of investment I've found which promises that. And that's probably why Velur has had a 75% re-investor rate over the last 34 years.
Here are a few examples of how it's helped me plan for my future:
- My Perris, CA property – Which I bought for $170,000 in 2011 is now worth about $1,000,000 based on an offer another Velur investor received this year.
- My property in Palmdale – Bought in April 2013 for $130,000 for 1.25 acres – Currently there is a listing less than .5 miles away for $235,000 per acre.
- My residential property in Lancaster – I bought this in 2009 for $85,000, and it's now worth about $280,000 minimum.
- My agricultural zoned property near Ave. K – Purchased in 2013 for $12,400 per acre. A new solar facilities have moved in close to this property and offers, per acre, start at about $15,000
- My heavy Industrial zoned property on Ave F near 4th St E – Bought for $40,000 per acre in 2011 – Build Your Dreams (China's largest company) opened the EV Bus Manufacturing facility 1.5 miles away. In Sept. of 2013, the city of Lancaster paid $2.67 per square foot for 12 acres of land for future expansion of BYD. I paid $0.92 per sq foot. That's a difference of $76,230!
My total investment so far? $437,400.
Now, I've had partners on many of these deals so I can't claim all of that capital as my own.
But even if it was, you have to realize it would only be enough to give me $60 a day for the next 20 years… not quite the lifestyle I envision…
(And since I'm planning on retiring at 57, I'd probably have to stretch that out for the next 30 years)
Instead, with Land Banking, I've been able to grow my capital into $1,646,230 worth of solid real estate value!
And the best part?
Because I own property in the direct path of growth, time becomes my biggest asset – instead of my biggest threat.
As I grow older my assets continue to mature. And that lets me sell one… take half for a nice vacation… cover my bills… then re-invest the other half and start it all over again.
That's how you can get your money working for you – instead of just working for your money.
Your future
It's not enough to know you need to have money to retire, you have to have something in place that is going to help you grow your money in the future.
However you plan to do that, I'm here to talk… to share my experience as a retirement planner and learn about your dreams for the future.
After all, your retirement should set you free. Your retirement age is simply the time and date that you figure out how to make that dream a reality.

"I wouldn't hold my hand out like that."
"I could easily just..."
"He's just letting the guy do that to him."
"That would never work in a real fight."
We all know the responses to these objections -one of which is to demonstrate the technique faster and harder- but what if you're in a situation where that's not feasible such as discussing the issue in a fine restaurant (trust me, you'll get kicked out faster than you can play the Hawaiian Drums)?
All of these objections and more are quite common but it's that last item that I'd like to address the most.
Let's be honest. Most of us have never tried many of these techniques "for real" so we have to talk about the history of the system and how it was developed by testing techniques in real fights and all of that. The problem is that doesn't convince the ignorant; they came to their opinions without any help from facts and they'll keep it that way, thank you very much.
Even we practitioners can be lulled into thinking that certain things we do are "just because" and wouldn't really work or be useful in a real encounter. For example, when practicing your stances and such, it's easy to get into the mindset that these are just formalities and in a "real" fight you'd just do what you have to do to win.
That's partially correct, of course. You won't focus on whether your feet are perfectly aligned and your center balanced and upright in a horse stance during an attack on the street. However, by training our bodies to take certain stances and positions, we'll naturally do it in an encounter. Today it may seem forced and unnatural to drop into a proper front stance during a technique but after a while it should become second nature.
An example comes to us courtesy of the UFC; Benevidez vs. Urushitani.
Before you say, "the UFC isn't a self defense scenario" or whatever, I realize that. However, barring the exclusion of certain techniques, such as groin, throat, and eye strikes, and the fact that both people are voluntarily engaging in the fight it's pretty close. The key here is that it is as close to a "real" fight as trained fighters typically get. So, on to the example.
At the beginning of Round 2, Urushitani delivers what could have been a devastating kick. Benevidez reacts by going into a front stance and double forearm block. Although the front stance is not perfect (his back leg is not locked out) and he partially misses the block with his right arm, the incoming kick is not only halted in its tracks but driven back opening up a counter strike. Notice he drives forward into the kick; he doesn't attempt to back away. This meeting of force with force is what gives this technique its power.
Don't think for a second that Benevidez thought to himself, "Oh, he's about to kick me. I should go into a front stance and block the kick with my forearms." He just did it.
Think about this scene next time you doubt the usefulness of something you're learning. Trust the knowledge and experience of your Sifu. It's not being taught just for the giggles.
*I'm using ignorant in its formal sense of "lacking knowledge."

I recently heard a story about a librarian who did a fairy tale program for young kids and their parents. She was shocked and horrified to discover that none of the kids or their parents had had any exposure to fairy tales outside of the Disney version, and indeed, most of them thought that Disney was the original source of these tales.
I consider this to be an alarming trend. Parents, please expose your children to more than the Disney version of a fairy tale. Disney "cutesifies" these tales with wide-eyed talking animals, and a lot of times they also change the ending completely to make the tales more kid-friendly (eg. in the original Little Mermaid, she doesn't get the prince). If children only ever see the Disney version, they are missing out on a huge chunk of our rich, cultural heritage.
There are also problems with the way femininity and race are represented in the Disney movies. For a good critique of Disney, check out this documentary. Suffice to say, the women in Disney are either invariably evil (the witches) or beautiful princesses in need of rescuing. And little girls today are obsessed with the Disney Princesses. They are everywhere you look, on tv, in movies, in books, in toys. Disney has gone into merchandising overload. And these princesses are frankly not good role models for girls. There is a series of books that we have in our library called Disney Princesses Secrets (or something like that) and they go out all the time. In each of these little books, one of the Disney Princesses imparts a "secret" to the reader. Guess what Snow White's secret is? When she gets tired of doing "princess" things she sneaks off to the seven dwarfs' house and cleans it for them. Barf.
Don't get me wrong. I'm not completely anti-Disney. I owned and loved many of these movies myself as a kid. I still love Beauty and the Beast. But please, any parents, or anyone who is thinking of becoming a parent, please make sure your kids get more than the Disney version of any fairy tale. And to combat the weak female characters (cuz let's face it, even in the originals, many of the women are passive) try a couple of fractured fairy tales where the women take control of their own destiny.
A couple of my favourite feminist picture book fairy tales are The Paper Bag Princess by Robert Munsch (which also has the word "bum" in it as a bonus) and Princess Smartypants by Babette Cole (which has the most hilarious illustrations). And when they get a little older, try some Tamora Pierce, Shannon Hale, and Gail Carson Levine for some kick ass fantasy novels with strong female protagonists.

We are entering an era of Rich Internet Applications (RIA), and many enterprise development managers are facing the dilemma - which way to go - remain with tried and true Java or .Net technologies or less known yet AJAX, Flex, OpenLaszlo or a number of other vendors. This article is an attempt to give a brief overview of what's out there on the RIA market.
Historically there have been major shifts in the software industry. We moved from mainframes with dumb terminals to client/server. Users gained in convenience and productivity, and mainframe systems were patronizingly labeled as legacy. With the availability of the World Wide Web industry visionaries turned the tables: vendors and corporate IT had been eager to get rid of the complexity of client/server version management and technologists were sold on multi-tier computing. This time client/server was called legacy. Excited with server multi-threading, messaging, persistence, and similar toys, we pretend not to think that, at the end of the day, we'd have to trade user experience and productivity for the transparency of application deployment. And to make us feel better, we proudly called the new breed of applications "thin client."
Now we are entering an era of RIA, which restores the power of desktop applications...inside downloadable Web page. RIAs run in a virtual machine (i.e., Adobe Flash Player or Java VM) and have the potential of becoming a full-featured desktop application soon. As opposed to just simply displaying Web pages delivered from some server machine, RIA really run on the client. Many of the data manipulation tasks (sorting, grouping, and filtering) are done locally like in the old client/server days. In three or four years most newly developed projects will include RIA technologies.
A rich Internet application combines the benefits of using the Web as a low-cost deployment model with a rich user experience that's at least as good as today's desktop applications. And, since RIAs don't require that the entire page be refreshed to update their data, the response time is much faster and the network load much lower. Think of a globally available client/server application.
Let's illustrate the difference between "legacy" Web and RIA with a shopping cart example. Non-RIA Web applications are page-based. Since HTTP is a stateless protocol, when the user moves from one page to another, a Web browser doesn't "remember" the user's actions on the previous page. As a common treatment of this "amnesia," a user state is stored on the server side in the form of the HTTP session.
Consider the case of an online shopping session. It can go as follows:
1. The user initiates a search for an item on Web page #1.
2. The server processes this request and returns page #2 that may (or may not) contain the required item.
3. The user adds an item to a shopping cart that takes yet another trip to the server to create the shopping cart and store it on the server side. Then the server responds with page #3 so the user can either continue shopping (repeating the first three steps) or proceed to the checkout - page #4.
At the checkout the server retrieves selected items from the session object and sends page #5 to the user for shipping info. The data entered travels back to the server for storage, and the client gets back page #6 for billing information. After that page #7 will confirm the order and only then goes to the order completion page.
This simplest of online purchases consisted of seven roundtrips to the server. In striking difference to desktop applications, a few-seconds-per-page refresh is considered fast(!) for a typical Web application, and the commonly acceptable delay is up to eight seconds. Is the user motivated enough to complete the purchase? Think again, because your system gave him a chance to reconsider seven times in a row. Now assume that the network and/or server are slow...your potential customer went elsewhere.
Rich Internet applications eliminate the roundtrips and substantially improve system performance by doing a lot more of the processing on the client than a thin client Web application. Besides, RIAs are stateful: they accumulate the information right on the client! To put it simply, RIA isn't a set of pages controlled by the server; they are actual applications running on the client's computer and communicating with servers primarily to process and exchange data.
Both consumer-facing and enterprise applications benefit from being RIAs. It's a well-known fact that e-commerce Web sites such as online ticket reservation systems and online retailers are losing revenues because users abandon shopping carts on non-responsive Web sites during the checkout process. Such Web sites result in lots of calls to the call center, a major operational expense in and of itself. The performance of any system operated by employees is critical to company productivity and RIAs provide a performance boost over HTML applications, while reducing operating and infrastructure costs.
RIA Platforms: The Major Choices
There's more than one way to create RIAs that run in the client's browser with the help of some kind of client engine. These are the most popular products or technologies:
- A Java programmer can create Java applets. As mentioned, this solution has been available since 1995.
- Using Adobe Flex you can create an ActionScript application for the ubiquitous Flash Player, a high-performance multimedia virtual machine that runs bytecode files in the SWF format (pronounced swif). The player's JIT compiler converts the SWF bytecode to native machine code for fast performance. The later facility is specific to Flex 2, available since 2006. Although early versions of Flex were out in 2004, they didn't support just-in-time compilation.
- Microsoft Windows Presentation Foundation (WPF) was released as part of .NET 3.0 in November of 2006 and can be used to create both Internet and desktop applications (it also has the Everywhere version - WPF/E).
- AJAX, a k a DHTML, born circa 1998. This solution was recently boosted with XMLHttpRequest API support for all major browsers. AJAX served as a wake-up call for the user and developer communities. It is often the first step on the migration path from the legacy Web to the world of RIA despite being seriously handicapped by having to support browser incompatibilities and a poor programming model.
Every organization is facing their own Digital Transformation as they attempt to stay ahead of the competition, or worse, just keep up. Each new opportunity, whether embracing machine learning, IoT, or a cloud migration, seems to bring new development, deployment, and management models. The results are more diverse and federated computing models than any time in our history.

Remember Antifa? You know, the leftist mama's boys who dress up like homeless ninjas and beat up conservatives? Yeah, they're still prowling around in their ski-masks, dispensing their general douchebaggery upon any non-leftist who crosses their path. There's a new development on the anti-fascist front. Antifa has come up against a new arch-nemesis. A group of opponents who share their childish penchant for playing dress-up…
Even in the once pure and idyllic furry community (people who dress up in plush animal costumes and sometimes have sex in those costumes, although furries will say that is not the point of the fandom) the press is giving credence to a rise of furry Nazidom.
The issue at hand, making headlines from the Denver Post to the The Daily Beast was the cancellation of the Rocky Mountain Furry Convention, a gathering of about 1,600 furries going back annually for 10 years.
The event was cancelled after back and forth "threats" made on Twitter by antifa (anti-fascist) and an anonymous person who were considered "credible" by the police, which resulted security costs of the event to skyrocket to around $22,000. Antifas are known for their strong arm tactics and their willingness to use violence to "stop fascism."
If you're willing to use violence to "stop fascism" but the "fascism" you're stopping are simply people who have an opinion you don't like, newsflash: you're the fascists.
The Furry Raiders wear arm bands that some consider Nazi iconography, but their leader, Foxler Nightfire, denies the arm bands have anything to do with Nazism. Foxler (who is gay and half asian) is also criticized for his Nazi-like outfit (a black collared shirt with a red tie) which he says was inspired by Green Day frontman Billie Joe Armstrong.
"My armband does not have a swatstika, its a paw," Foxler said on the phone." And if you want to be technical its not turned 45 degrees."
The Furry Raider armbands are not exclusively red either and come in multiple colors.
Funny how Antifa finally managed to find an adversary just as pathetic as they are. At least it would be an even fight. Fighters from both sides would reach the
soccer field sacred battleground in their moms' vans. The Antifa guys would unsheath their wooden sticks, the furries would break out their knitting needles. Then, they fight to the death! Or until their moms finish talking with the other moms.
Don't lie, you know it'd be a delight to behold.
Oddly enough, when you first hear the tale of these human stuffed-animal (alleged) Nazis, the Nazi part is the least strangest aspect of the story. I never thought Nazism could be reduced to a detail on the scale of zero to straight-jacket. In the age of trans-cats and dragon-people, Nazi Beanie Babies aren't that far out.
If one group of idiots wishes to do battle with another group of idiots, okay. Some advice to the Antifa crowd: Shutting down people who disagree with you? Not cool. Unless you shout them down with pig-latin. Using violence to achieve that end? Even less cool. Unless your violence includes brightly colored bubbles.
Even if those furry creeps are praying to Hitler-as-a-gopher, they're allowed to do so. Also, beware your enemies. You wouldn't want to awaken the Stickman from his slumber.

h-event is a simple, open format for publishing events on the web. h-event is one of several open microformat draft standards suitable for embedding data in HTML/HTML5.
h-event is the microformats-2 update for hCalendar.
Here is a simple event example:

Microformats Meetup

From <time class="dt-start" datetime="2013-06-30 12:00">30th June 2013, 12:00</time> to <time class="dt-end" datetime="2013-06-30 18:00">18:00</time> at Some bar in SF

Get together and discuss all things microformats-related.

Get started
The class
h-event is a root class name that indicates the presence of an h-event.
p-name, dt-start, dt-end, p-location, p-summary, and the other h-event property class names listed below define properties of the h-event.
See microformats-2-parsing to learn more about property class names.
Inside an element with class h-event:
p-name- event name (or title)
p-summary- short summary of the event
dt-start- datetime the event starts
dt-end- datetime the event ends
dt-duration- duration of the event
p-description- more detailed description of the event
u-url- permalink for the event
p-category- event category(ies)/tag(s)
p-location- where the event takes place, optionally a nested h-adr or h-card
p-geo- geophysical location of the event, optionally a nested h-geo
p-latitude- decimal latitude
p-longitude- decimal longitude
Experimental properties currently in use in the wild but not (yet) part of the official h-entry spec:
p-attendee- a person attending the event, optionally a nested h-card
h-event is a microformats.org draft specification. Public discussion on h-event takes place on h-event-feedback, the #microformats irc channel on irc.freenode.net, and microformats-new mailing list.
h-event is ready to use and implemented in the wild, but for backwards compatibility you should also mark h-events up as classic hCalendar events.
Property Details
(stub, to be expanded)
p-location is typically a physical address, optionally marked up with h-adr, for example:

 17 Austerstræti Reykjavík Iceland

Examples in the wild
Real world in the wild examples:
- ... add uses of h-event you see in the wild here.
See microformats2 examples in the wild for more (and copy any h-event examples to here in-line).
This work is based on the existing hCalendar and iCalendar specifications.

State Representative Charlie Meier (R-Highland) released the statement below following Governor Rauner's proclamation calling lawmakers back to Springfield for special session June 21st through June 30th:
"It's time for lawmakers to get back to work by ending this budget impasse. I'm glad Governor Rauner has called a special session in order to jumpstart budget negotiations. For two years in a row the General Assembly has failed to send the Governor a budget which is why we are being called back to work until a bipartisan solution is reached. I am ready to work each day this month until we pass a balanced budget.
Before I was elected to serve in the legislature, Governor Blagojevich called several special sessions which resulted in no action by the General Assembly. I hope the outcome will be different this time due to the fact Speaker Madigan is working with a different Governor. A Governor that actually has a plan to improve our state instead of digging our state deeper into debt."
on Tuesday, June 13, 2017
"The recent shooting of Jerseyville's police officer reminds me of the sacrifices our men and women in blue give to keep us as safe as possible. I pray for the officer wounded and pray for his recovery. I am close friends with the officers family, they were in my thoughts and prayers when I heard of the tragic news this morning and will continue to pray for the family during this difficult time. Thank you to all of our men and women who serve and protect, your sacrifice does not go unnoticed because you put your life at risk for us all."
-Charlie Meier, State Representative 108th District
