Sean Penn & Petra Nemcova
They're together now. Again. And they were in Cannes together to raise money for Haiti along with Paul Haggis. The two showed up together at their obligatory events and also looked happy over dinner with friends at Tetou, a restaurant famous for its bouillabaisse about 20 minutes away from the Croisette.
Sean Penn is... Sean Penn. Sean Penn isn't exactly Miss Congeniality. Or Mr Easy-To-Love. Petra Nemcova on the other hand - I mean she's had her issues but she's actually really, really sweet and pleasant. There aren't too many ways to assume what that dynamic might look like.
Still...she has her lifestyle and she has his. On Saturday night, I saw Petra at the Ciroc Vodka yacht party on the O'Mega. It's a CRAZY ass boat. Click here to see. Michelle Rodriguez was DJ'ing. Rich Euros kept speeding up in smaller boats trying to crash to the joint. Apparently even Roberto Cavalli. Super fun and hilarious but not exactly Sean Penn's scene.
When you're Petra Nemcova though, and there's not much editorial coming her way anymore, or runway work, this is the living, this is her base. How that works with Sean Penn is a mystery to me.
By the way, at one point during the Artists for Peace & Justice event on Friday night, Petra was approached by Gerard Butler. Spittle was putting it out there but Petra wasn't taking. How much would you love to see a territorial pissing contest between him and Sean Penn?

One mistake that most website owners and businesses are currently making is that they depend on their traffic to come from search engines alone.Some are even squandering hundreds of thousands of dollars monthly doing (Pay per click) PPC campaign.This is fatal.It is impossible for all websites to rank at #1 or among the top 10 all at once in any search engine.So, once businesses realize this obvious fact, it should be common sense for them to know that the solution should be to diversify their marketing and promotion.Stop depending on the uncertain search engine traffic otherwise you'll go bankrupt soon.You need to do different kinds of marketing and promotions both online and offline.Some of them are newspaper and magazine advertising, TV, cable and radio advertising, direct mailing promotion, text-link campaign, link exchange campaign, events sponsorship promotion, press release, article promotions.When you do all these promotions, you get a lot of exposures, traffic from many sources and will not be forced anymore to depend on search engines traffic and rankings alone.I have also noticed that most businesses are still using the old tactics of copywriting that worked during pre-internet era.Perhaps that is why many of them have problems in making their websites profitable.In these internet times, a website content has to be short, direct, interesting and must have a unique selling proposition to be effective and to convert visitors to buyers.Many people just don't have the time to spend all day reading the content of one website when they are aware there are thousands and millions more they may have to read before they make up their minds to buy.I see many website contents which are professionally written, organized and designed.But all have one common mistake. They forget this fact that I am pointing out:They are way too long, too desperate in their sales pitches, hype and most of them will not even allow you to read more than one word before their subscription pop-up forms come up and block the websites.What a very rude and annoying way to welcome a prospect to your website.In other words, they do so much to repel the customers, instead of doing so much to attract them.May these insights into website promotion, work at home business income program, online income opportunity, website marketing, work from home business, affiliate programs, internet promotion help you improve your online marketing so as to achieve more success and happiness.Please feel free to print or publish this article anywhere and read and also send it to your friends and well wishers and please preserve the author's resource box and website below.Ikey Benney

Just What Is A Hostile Work Environment?
We have all heard the term "hostile work environment", but do you know what it means? Unless you are an attorney, you may not quite understand everything that constitutes a hostile environment under the law. The problem is that many people need to learn what this means and why it matters to you as an employee. A hostile work environment creates a liability on the employer's part for employee lawsuits, harassment claims, and other legal issues. On top of these serious problems, it can also lead to lower productivity, a high turnover rate, and very unhappy employees. Let's take a look at what makes an environment hostile and what can be done about it.To begin with, let's go through some of the areas that do not make up a hostile work environment. Most people think that a hostile environment includes things like a rude coworker, a mean supervisor, or a single incident. However, these areas do not make a work environment hostile. The U.S. Equal Opportunity Commission, or EEOC, lists a hostile work environment as the following:
(adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({});
Involving "unwelcome conduct that is based on race, color, religion, sex (including pregnancy), national origin, age (40 or older), disability or genetic information"; orIt occurs when "enduring the offensive conduct becomes a condition of continued employment" or the conduct creates a workplace environment "that a reasonable person would consider intimidating, hostile, or abusive."Now that you have read what the EEOC says defines a hostile work environment, let's take a look at what that actually means to you as an employee.Here are some general examples of offensive conduct in the workplace:Offensive jokes – including racial or sexual jokes,
Name calling – including racial slurs, epithets, and other offensive names,
Physical threats or assaults based on race, color, sex, etc,
Intimidation because of race, color, sex, etc,
Ridicule or mocking of any person in the workplace based on race, sex, color, etc,
Insults and put downs based on color, race, sex, etc,
Offensive pictures and objects based on sex, race, color, etc.All of these items constitute a hostile work environment and can be on the part of a coworker, supervisor, agents of the employer, or even non-employees, such as a vendor or customer. The conduct may not always be offensive to the employee or person that it is directed towards, but it may be offensive to the people or employees around that observe the actions.
(adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({});
The very best way to ensure that you are not contributing to a hostile work environment is to take an active role in preventing any of these areas on your part as an employee. If you have concerns or feel unsafe or offended in any way, go through the proper channels at your workplace to report them to a supervisor and document any issues, threats, problems, or other offensive behavior when it happens.

Kalish calm ahead of first start since '12
PITTSBURGH -- Ryan Kalish knew he would be starting on Wednesday, his first start in the big leagues since Sept. 11, 2012. And he slept great Tuesday night.
Kalish, who started in left field for the Cubs against the Pirates, missed all of last season after needing cervical fusion surgery, which involved the removal of a disc in his neck and the insertion of a metal plate. NFL quarterback Peyton Manning had the same surgery, and Kalish even had the same doctor, spinal specialist Robert Watkins. Kalish was injured in April 2011 after colliding with an outfield wall.
"I feel calm about it, in a good way," Kalish said prior to Wednesday's game. "I'm still excited, and nerves are a part of it for sure. I just feel like everything now is just a lot of gravy for me.
"I have big goals for my career and big goals for this team, but I don't know, maybe I'm getting older and learning to keep it a little more relaxed, because you see the best players in the game do things easy rather than too hard, or a lot of effort behind their swing, or whatever they're doing," he said.
Kalish was a non-roster invitee on the Cubs this spring and made the Opening Day roster for the first time in his career. He did appear in Monday's season opener against the Pirates, but that's not the same as starting.
"I'm happy to be in the lineup for sure and I'm proud of myself getting back to this point, but there's a lot of work to be done still," Kalish said. "It's not about just today. We're focused on today, but going forward, I want to continue to feel comfortable about playing in the Major Leagues again and just playing my game for this team."
Cubs president of baseball operations Theo Epstein knows Kalish well, having been with the Red Sox when they selected the outfielder in the ninth round of the 2006 First-Year Player Draft.
"He's a particularly good fit for us," Epstein said. "He's left-handed, has good at-bats, outstanding plate discipline, knows how to get on base; he's a well-rounded player, plays defense, can run and throw. He brings an energy and edge to the ballpark each day and understands the team concept. After what he's been through, you have to be thrilled for him."
Kalish needs at least 1 1/2 hours each day to do exercises to maintain his flexibility and core strength.
"I enjoy the warm up now because you learn about the physiology of the body," he said. "You know certain things you didn't know five years ago."
Kalish would like to someday talk to Manning and compare notes.
"It'd be interesting to hear what he had to say about his experience," Kalish said.

BoingBoing has a fascinating summary of how fetal cells invade their mother's host body and get up to all kinds of shenanigans: some good, some bad.
Research describing the fetal cell invasion has peppered the popular press in recent years, and it's a fascinating story. The cells might protect mothers from cancer, heal their hearts, and help in wound healing. Or, the cells might actually be lowering mothers' immune defenses and causing cancer. Or both!
What's possibly even more interesting is the political banter these stories ignite.
If you happen to be a mother, the fact that you carry around cells from all your biological babies, and that those cells might be helping you fight disease might make you feel warm and fuzzy about this profound connection with your children. It's a special state of being for mummies only. Jena Pincott, the author of the BoingBoing post, which is an excerpt of her book Do Chocolate Lovers Have Sweeter Babies?: The Surprising Science of Pregnancy, writes objectively on the subject:
One theory is that this "otherness" stimulates the mother's immune system just enough to help keep malignant cells in check. The more fetal cells there are in a woman's body, the less active are autoimmune conditions such as rheumatoid arthritis and multiple sclerosis.
But how one responds to the research can be subjective. The Kansas for Life blog spins the research for their own purposes. But if you happen to not be a mum, and are tired of mummies talking about the magic of mummyhood, you might choose to emphasise the more sinister side of these imparted fetal cells. As one commenter (who's mother status, for the record, is unknown) on BoingBoing writes:
I wasn't taught this in my cancer biology and immunology classes in grad school; rather, it was that pregnancy acts as a mild immunosuppressive to dial down the mother's immune responses and protect the "foreign" foetus... This is why women who have previously had melanomas have higher rates of recurrence or metastasis during or immediately after pregnancy... Unfortunately it's a lot less warm and fuzzy of a theory.
Indeed, Pincott notes that fetal cells have been found in cancers, and might lead to autoimmune diseases like scleroderma and lupus. But readers perceive spin where they will. One more provocative BoingBoing comment:
But don't let that stop the positive spin on the gushy love fest of how great pregnancy is supposed to be for women. Because it's not like there's ever been an agenda surrounding that or anything. Like, ever. And it's not like rampant slanting and emotionally loaded reads of scientific experiments have ever been used as propaganda.
The science is in the early stages, and like many other examples in biological research, the answer will be more complicated than "fetal cells good" or "fetal cells bad." Until then, the politicizing will continue. What an emotional roller coaster ride! First I was feeling pretty sad that since I haven't managed to conceive, I'm vulnerable to unknown diseases that might have been mitigated by my baby's cells. A moment later I was relieved not to have been encroached upon by foreign fetal vermin. And not to have been influenced by those propagandising pregnancy pushers!
Ah, science. You're hardly ever just science.

Data Security
Every organization, business and effort is under tremendous pressure to protect personal or non-public information that may exist inside IT hardware. Federal regulations like Gramm-Leach Bliley Act (GLB), Sarbanes-Oxley Act (SOX), Fair & Accurate Credit Transaction Act (FACTA), and Health Insurance Portability & Accountability Act (HIPAA), make it absolutely critical that secure data destruction of corporate proprietary and clientele confidential information. This data needs to be properly removed from hard drives whenever disposal of surplus or end-of-life IT equipment takes place. The unfortunate fact is that a single data security breach has the potential to put your organization at serious risk for lawsuits, fines, horrific publicity, and diminished corporate revenues – even imprisonment for the individuals involved. It is absolutely critical that IT asset managers understand the issues involved and exercise due diligence in selecting outside vendors to participate in their organizations' IT disposal process.
Electronics Recycling
Responsible organizations realize there is no "free lunch" in IT recycling. Even alternatives like donation or employee purchase carry a very significant risk, because the liability for environmental hazards may fall back on the originating party with penalties applied against all involved parties. Partnering with an experienced electronics recycler like EPC, that is truly committed to proper procedures is the best and safest way to serve the public interest and protect your organization from state, federal and established International penalties.

Product Returns Management
Logistics management is critical aspect of IT disposal. Many IT asset recovery firms lack the expertise to choose the right strategy or carrier for an individual project. Others approach logistics with a "one size fits all" philosophy by bundling shipping costs in with the recycling cost they quote the customer. This often results in the customer paying way too much for IT disposal services.
Remarketing Services
Reuse is recognized as the friendliest form of recycling.
Many IT assets have a residual market value subsequent to their use within your place of business. Once corporate and customer data is sufficiently removed with verification, why not allow EPC, Inc. to maximize any remaining value your no longer serviceable IT equipment might hold? Reuse is recognized as the friendliest form of recycling – too often we take the terminology to mean the tearing down of a product to raw feed stock for reuse in new product.

KUALA LUMPUR - Malaysia's top official in charge of the search for a missing jetliner rejected criticism on Tuesday from US officials that it has not been sharing as much information as it could with foreign governments.
A Malaysia Airlines Boeing 777-200ER vanished en route from Kuala Lumpur to Beijing in the early hours of March 8 with 239 passengers and crew on board. No trace of the plane has been found.
China has called for better coordination in the search operation now involving 26 countries, while some US officials and politicians have expressed frustration at what they see as Malaysia's refusal of help.
Malaysian Defence Minister Hishammuddin Hussein specifically defended coordination with the United States and China and said he had been in touch with his counterparts in both countries. "This morning, I was (speaking) with (US Defence Secretary) Chuck Hagel and then I was also with my counterpart (from) China," he told Reuters.
Hishammuddin denied reports that Malaysia had discouraged the Federal Bureau of Investigation from sending a team to Malaysia. "I have been working with them. It's up to the FBI to tell us if they need more experts to help because it's not for us to know what they have."
Malaysian officials say they have been in touch with the FBI through the US embassy, where the agency has a permanent representative, from "day one". "No matter what everyone says, the cooperation that I am getting for Malaysia and for what efforts I am doing, it is overwhelming," Hishammuddin said.
Two US security officials said on Monday that Malaysia had still not invited the FBI to send a team.
One source in Kuala Lumpur familiar with the investigation said an FBI team was in Malaysia to help with the probe. But another source familiar with the matter confirmed that no one had arrived from the United States to reinforce the FBI presence in the country.
An unprecedented search for the missing flight now stretches across Asia, from the Caspian Sea to the southern Indian Ocean.
Investigators are convinced that someone with deep knowledge of the Boeing 777-200ER and commercial navigation diverted the jet, carrying 227 passengers and 12 crew, perhaps thousands of miles off course.
The FBI has extensive experience in investigating plane disasters, including the crashes off the US east coast of TWA Flight 800 in 1996 and Egyptair Flight 990, en route from Los Angeles to Cairo, in 1999.
In the case of Egyptair 990, the FBI helped air safety investigators establish that the crash was caused by a suicidal co-pilot.
In the TWA 800 case, the FBI conducted a lengthy investigation that eventually helped the National Transportation Safety Board discredit theories that the plane was hit by a missile, but instead was brought down by a freak accident involving overheated fuel.
India, which has suspended search operations for the Malaysian plane pending a review of the satellite data, has said it had no complaints with the sharing of information. "I think they (Malaysia) are sharing all the information. Every country has the capability up to their own airspace ... So the information they have, they have shared," said Acquino Vimal, India's deputy high commissioner to Malaysia.. "I am yet to hear anything from our operational people saying that we are not getting information."
The jet disappeared in a region beset by rivalries over military capabilities and where sovereignty can be a grey issue.
Furthermore, the need to co-operate has cast a potentially embarrassing light on regional surveillance capabilities, especially where the ability of nations to watch each other's airspace is concerned.
In Australia, a defence industry source said that any available information from its powerful radars pointing out to the Indian Ocean would likely be passed on to Malaysia in a"highly sanitised way" to conceal its origins and appease any concerns about Australian monitoring of neighbouring airspace.

Samsung ML-1640
Samsung ML-1640 by SAMSUNG does not come defaulted by Windows XP. It uses SPL (Samsung Printer Language), but working with CUPS using SpliX V. 2.0.0. There are original drivers by "Samsung". The difference between ML-1640 and ML-2245 is that in ML-1640, printing via Windows client is messy thus http://ipaddress:631/printers/Samsung_ML-1640_Series is used by me to print, replace ipaddress to the server with printer installed. Enable the permission to allow printing from internet and you may edit the permission in hosts.allow and hosts.deny in /etc/ to disable global printing.
First, install CUPS and SPL drivers (e.g. with "pacman")
# pacman -Ss cups extra/cups 1.3.9-4 :The CUPS Printing System extra/cups-pdf 2.4.8-1 :PDF printer for cups ... community/splix 2.0.0-1 :CUPS drivers for SPL (Samsung Printer Language) printers ... # pacman -Sy extra/cups extra/cups-pdf community/splix ...
Second configure the CUPS up (e. g. look here, desu) and add your ML-1640 there (http://localhost:631):
(Administration) -> (Printers/Add Printer)
But unfortunaly there are no filters for CUPS in original community/splix package!
That`s all. Installation is over, by theory - you are able to print now :)

After finishing the Huayhuash circuit, stopping in Huaraz for a shower, a beer and yet another pizza at El Horno in Huaraz (my regular post-trekking dinner of choice), it was straight onto the night bus to Lima. After spending longer than planned in the mountains, I needed to head south pretty quickly in order to meet my friend Adrian (who was flying over from London for a three week holiday) in Arequipa.
Rather than rush all the way south in one go, I decided to break the trip up with a couple of stops along the way. First stop was Pisco, jumping off point for the Islas Ballestas, also known as 'the poor man's Galapagos'.
Rougher seas later in the day meant it was yet another early start (I was quite used to that after 6am starts every day while hiking – funny how I've been up before 7am more times in the last five months than I have done in years of working) to catch the boat from the nearby port of Paracas.
After being herded onto a little motor boat, we were soon out to sea and heading towards the giant geoglyph called the Candelabra. Vaguely similar to the Nazca lines further south, noone is quite sure who made it, with some theories claiming it was created by an ancient culture similar to the one in Nazca, and others claiming it was as recent as the time of the liberation of Peru (the liberator of Peru landed in Paracas from Argentina in 1821). To be honest, it was slightly disappointing (although I'm not sure what I was expecting).
With no time to mess around, the boat soon moved on to the islands themselves. The reason they're famous is that they are home to one of the biggest seabird colonies along the coast of South America. Thanks to the Humboldt current, which brings oxygen-rich cold water all the way up the coast from Antarctica, marine life is abundant. And where there are lots of fish, there are lots of birds. Thousands and thousands of birds in fact. Every metre of the islands is covered with them – cormorants, boobies, penguins and many more.
And what do lots of birds mean? Yes, lots of shit. Or guano, to use the technical term. So much of the stuff that for years guano was one of Peru's biggest exports (it makes fantastic fertiliser). So valuable was it, that Peru & Chile even fought a war over the area. Even now today that it's less important (thanks to chemical fertilisers), every seven years a hardy group of men from the mountains travel to the islands and spend the summer months systematically collecting it all – and after seven years, the guano is METRES deep. Not a job I'd fancy, personally.
It's not just birds that are attracted to all that fish – the islands are also home to a pretty big group of sea lions, who we got to see lazing around on the rocks in groups. I'd never seen sea lions outside of a zoo before, so getting to see them in their natural habitat was pretty impressive.
Despite that though, I came away from the whole thing a little disappointed. Maybe it was because I'd just had the best experience of my life trekking in Huaraz, so anything afterwards was bound to be a bit of a letdown. Maybe it was because the uniform grey skies made everything look a little dull. And maybe I'd just seen too many recent photos of other travellers' recent trips to the real Galapagos. But whatever it was, I just couldn't summon up all that much enthusiasm (and to be fair, it was probably just me – other recent visitors seem to have had much better fun). Still, it was pretty good value (just 40 soles, around $13), so I'm not complaining, and I was soon on my way to my next stop, Huacachina.
Oh – and what of Lima? Well, far from being the dump that many travellers (and even my mother) had warned me about (recent quote from a friend's email: "twelve hours in Lima is twelve too many"), I actually found it a really pleasant city. I spent a lovely four days there before and after Huaraz. However there are times when my blogging inspiration runs dry, and in this instance I just can't think of anything particularly exciting to say about the place, especially when others – try here, here, and here – have done a pretty good job of it elsewhere recently. There was one thing in particular that stood out that's worth a mention though – on the night I arrived back from Huaraz, I got to meet up again with my friends Cathal & Sarah, who I'd originally met in San Gil, and then seen again in various places in Colombia, and we had a fantastic night out in Barranco, at an indie club called Sargento Pimienta (i.e. Sgt Pepper). Easily the best night out I've had since I've left home, it's a great club with fantastic music, and a very friendly crowd. If you're in Lima I can highly recommend it, and it was a lovely way to say goodbye to two great friends who I'm really looking forward to seeing when I get home.

I was the sort of child who always had a bunch of brain-teaser and riddle books lying around in her room, and I grew into the sort of adult who enjoys Professor Layton games. The Curse, for me, is a natural extension of that impulse to solve everything.
In fact, The Curse could be considered sort of a second cousin to the Professor Layton franchise. It's a series of logic puzzles with a story wrapped around it: you have, in your hands, an evil book.
The puzzles are mainly nothing new—tangrams, riddles, magic squares, slider puzzles, and all the rest—but for those who like brain-teasers, it's a pleasant diversion. The most frustrating puzzles are perhaps the ones requiring precise timing; in the midst of working mainly with your brain, having to switch to working with your reflexes can be frustrating.
The framing story is silly, but also surprisingly well-executed. When the villain Mannequin "calls" your phone, even if you're actually using an iPod there's something believable enough about it to be worth a chuckle. His "Phantom of the Opera"-style mask and Dracula-esque bearing are charmingly, rather than irritatingly, ridiculous.
The structure is fairly forgiving; players can flip through pages of the "book" in order to solve easier puzzles first and build up to harder ones. (We all have our weaknesses; while I'm good at slider puzzles and riddles, the whole "make 4 liters with a 5 liter and 3 liter container" set-up will get me every time, in every game.) Finishing the game requires solving a final puzzle, but access to that puzzle must be earned by winning 20 cogs—one for every five puzzles in the book.
Developers MojoBones and Toy Studio promise an Android version should also be available soon.

Lagoon cruising
Undoubtedly the best place in the Cook Islands for day cruising is around the fantastic Aitutaki lagoon which is a major attraction of a Cook Islands visit. Highlights include visiting the tiny island motus and their idyllic beaches, walking along sand bars and snorkelling in the turquoise lagoon.
There are a handful of cruise operators offering day trips and charter services from small motorised outboards to the largest vessel, a glamourous wooden carved catamaran, the Titi-ai-Tonga, seating about 40 people.
It is also possible to hire a water taxi, so you have control of where you go and what you do, enabling you to be dropped off on an island with your picnic.

Study Results
This open-label, multi-dose, single-arm, multi-center Phase 1, dose-escalation study was conducted to define the toxicity profile, maximum tolerated dose, pharmacokinetics, immunogenicity, and potential anti-tumor activity of margetuximab in 34 patients with advanced HER2-positive breast cancer (2+ or 3+ by IHC) neoplasms, 23 of whom had breast cancer or gastroesophageal cancer.
Study results showed that margetuximab was well tolerated at all explored doses, including the highest dose tested, 6.0 mg/kg qw. Infusion reactions were well controlled with pre-medications. Margetuximab exhibited pharmacokinetics typical of human IgG1s.
At a dose of 0.1 mg/kg qw, one patient experienced time to progression of 9.2 months. In addition, three patients experienced confirmed partial responses (RECIST) – two with metastatic breast cancer (lasting 3.3 and 5.3 months) and one with cancer of the gastroesophageal junction (lasting 3.3 months). Four of 13 patients with gastroesophageal cancer experienced stable disease lasting a median of 3.6 months (range 1.5 - 5.3), with all but one previously failing anti-HER2 treatment.
The most common adverse events (AEs) were Grade 1-2 constitutional symptoms and infusion-related reactions. Additionally, related AEs ≥ Grade 3 were limited to a single infusion reaction, two episodes of brief lymphopenia confounded by steroids, and transient worsening anemia. No cardiac toxicities were observed.
Dr. Burris commented, "We were pleased to find that margetuximab was well tolerated by patients and showed promising activity in patients who have limited treatment options, such as those with breast cancer or gastroesophageal cancer and who previously have failed other HER2 therapies."
MacroGenics has optimized the Fc region of margetuximab with the goal of increasing cancer cell killing with Antibody-Dependent Cell-mediated Cytotoxicity (ADCC). During the study, ADCC was measured ex-vivo in peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs) and showed enhanced activity of margetuximab v. trastuzumab.
"The results of our Phase 1 study are very encouraging and show the potential for margetuximab in the treatment of HER2-expressing tumors," stated Scott Koenig, M.D., Ph.D., President and CEO of MacroGenics. "With the recent initiation of a Phase 2 clinical trial, we will explore whether margetuximab can improve clinical outcomes in a sub-population of breast cancer patients, particularly those with low HER2 expression. We also anticipate future studies of margetuximab in patients with other HER2-expressing tumors."
About Breast Cancer and HER2
The HER2 oncoprotein is over-expressed and plays an important role in tumorigenesis, tumor aggressiveness, and outcome in breast cancer and other solid tumors. HER2 has proven to be an excellent target for cancer therapeutics, given the success of currently marketed HER2-directed therapies.
According to the National Cancer Institute, over 230,000 women in the U.S. are diagnosed with breast cancer annually. Of these women, only about 20% have tumors that are HER2 positive (IHC 3+, or HER2 gene-amplified). One development goal for margetuximab is to target a similarly large group of patients whose tumors exhibit HER2 expression that is less than 3+ and lack evidence of HER2 gene amplification and for whom current anti-HER2 therapies are not indicated. Another goal for margetuximab is to determine if the Fc modifications will improve clinical outcomes in patients with tumors that are currently treated with other HER2 therapies, which would be consistent with results seen in laboratory models.
Background on MargetuximabNormal 0 false false false MicrosoftInternetExplorer4
Margetuximab (MGAH22), an Fc-modified monoclonal antibody, targets the HER2 oncoprotein, which is overexpressed on the surface of various cancer cells and plays an important role in tumorigenesis, tumor aggressiveness, and outcome in breast and other cancers. HER2 has proven to be an excellent target for cancer therapeutics as shown by the clinical success of trastuzumab in both breast and gastric cancer.
The benefits of trastuzumab in metastatic breast and gastric cancer accrue primarily to patients with the highest level of HER2 expression (HER2 3+ by immunohistochemistry) or those who have gene-amplified tumors. Thus, therapies are needed for patients whose tumors overexpress the HER2 oncoprotein at lower levels without gene amplification. Furthermore, the benefits of trastuzumab in metastatic breast cancer are primarily in patients who are homozygous for the high affinity allele of the Fcγ receptor, CD16A (FcγRIIIA). These patients represent only approximately 15% of the population.
MacroGenics has engineered margetuximab for increased binding to the low affinity allele of CD16A, thus offering potentially increased effectiveness in the approximately 85% of patients who carry this FcγR allele. In addition, this engineering work has been shown in pre-clinical studies to enhance killing of tumors expressing low levels of HER2. In prior research, margetuximab showed improved control of tumor growth in human tumor xenograft models in mice, as compared to that of anti-HER2 antibodies with a wild type Fc counterpart and in effector cell-dependent ADCC assays. This ADCC activity was independent of FcγR genotype. A development goal for margetuximab is to enable the treatment of a broader population of patients than those eligible for treatment with current HER2-targeted therapies.About MacroGenics, Inc.

Lots of finger pointing has occurred following the first-ever downgrade of the United States credit rating last week. Numerous political figures, including Sen. Kerry (D-Mass.) and the Obama administration's former chief advisor David Axelrod, blame the Tea Party for the Standards and Poor's (S&P) downgrading the U.S. credit rating from AAA to AA+. Some media talking heads have even dubbed it the "Tea Party Downgrade." The truth, however, tells an entirely different story. Big spenders in Washington must face the facts that the American people have awoken and the party is over.
One day fiscal conservatives are being called "terrorists" and the next we're being blamed for the country's economic woes. These blame games are deliberate tactics to distract from the real issue at hand. Spendthrift politicians would much rather spread deceitful talking points than take responsibility for their actions. As columnist Jack Hunter says "it's like blaming my bad 6th grade report card on report cards." The failure of politicians to face economic reality is exactly why we're in this fiscal mess in the first place.
Over the past century, we've faced growing deficits and mounting debt. The national debt has gone up nearly every year regardless of the political party in control. You cannot tell me with a straight face that the roughly three-year-old Tea Party is to blame for the credit downgrade. Our credit downgrade has been a long time coming. A few months ago, famed investor Jim Rogers said, "America should already be downgraded. It should have been downgraded years ago. These people, the rating agencies, have got it wrong for 10-15 years now. America is bankrupt". He now says that our AA+ credit rating is still far higher than we deserve.
The Obama administration has the nerve to question the S&P's math. The U.S. Treasury Department said that there was "no justifiable rationale" to downgrade the nation's credit rating. Here's a reality check: the United States is the largest debtor nation in the history of the world. Even the largest foreign holder of U.S. debt, China, says that we are "addicted to debt." The communist country's state-run news agency Xinhua stated in a commentary, "the U.S. government has to come to terms with the painful fact that the good old days when it could just borrow its way out of messes of its own making are finally gone." Perhaps the Chinese government should also follow its own sound advice.
The rating agency S&P warned us that we would be facing a credit downgrade unless Washington reduced deficit spending by $4 trillion over the next ten years. As the S&P explained in April, "while we're mindful that the President and Congress are beginning to focus on some type of agreement and may possibly even have a broad understanding about the scale of a fiscal adjustment—roughly $4 trillion… We think—given the division of opinion between Democrats and Republicans—that will be very difficult to achieve over the next two years." A $4 trillion cut or "fiscal adjustment" is barely anything when put into perspective. We face an over $1.6 trillion deficit this year alone.
The Obama administration actually rejected Tea Party backed legislation such as Cut, Cap and Balance which included enough spending cuts to prevent a downgrade in our credit rating. They chose to ignore the warnings and instead pushed for a debt-ceiling hike with no substantial cuts. The Obama-Boehner debt-ceiling deal offers no actual cuts—it only means that spending may increase less fast later on. S&P downgraded the U.S. credit rating just three days after the Obama-Boehner compromise was signed into law.
The price of gold is skyrocketing while the Obama administration desperately searches for someone else to blame. But it is the Obama administration, not the Tea Party, that has added $4.3 trillion to the national debt. Our mission is to restore fiscal sanity to Washington. As Sen. Rand Paul (R-Ky.) says, blaming the Tea Party for the credit downgrade is "like blaming the fire fighters for the fire."
I am tired of the 'children' or rather 'brats' and 'bullies' in Washington DC! It is time to stand up and take responsibility and admittance that you are to blame! Oh, excuse me...only REAL men can do that! While 'the people' are having to cut down on things such as gasoline, going out to eat, etc., I personally think that those in Washington who are supposedly working for us, need to start cutting down by taking a cut in pay, sign up for Social Security and Medicare! If it's good enough for us it should be good enough for them! It is written, 'For the People and By the People'! Everyone is going to stand in front of the Lord one day and answer for their actions! Yes, everyone, and that includes you, Mr. President and your congress! No teleprompters or great speech writers to answer for you! You, see, God knows EVERYTHING and your elegant speech won't help you out then! Also, He doesn't excuse or overlook mocking Him or His children either! Yes, America is a CHRISTIAN Nation and we are taking it back! So stand up, be a man and admit that you and your co-hearts are to blame that instead of things getting better they have rapidly increased in getting worse. Oh, have a nice vacation. Enjoy it while it last!

The Fire may have begun the 2010 season with only 23 of 24 roster spots filled, but there was never much question as to who Carlos de los Cobos wanted for Chicago's final spot.
The Mexican head coach indicated his desire to sign left back Deris Umanzor -- who played under de los Cobos on the Salvadoran national team -- as far back as mid-March. Now, a full three weeks later, it appears the Fire are finally close to signing their man.
The 30-year-old Umanzor trained with the Fire on Tuesday and, according to a source close to the situation, is only waiting on paperwork to clear before the league makes his signing official.
Umanzor, who wore No. 13 in training on Tuesday, would provide further cover for the Fire at left back. The club has already started two players on the left side of defense thus far this season, using Mike Banner against the Red Bulls and Krzysztof Król last week at the Colorado Rapids.

Israelis to Americans: Get used to being spied on
Monday, June 10, 2013 | Ryan Jones
Israel Today magazine
As Israelis watch the unfolding Internet spying scandal in the US, the local response has been fairly unanimous: We're used to it, and Americans should probably get used to it, as well.
Israelis live in what most Americans would probably consider a constant state of "red alert," considering the unrelenting security threats faced by the nation. In light of that, most Israelis have resigned themselves to the fact that their government and local authorities are keeping close tabs on them, and that individual privacy is little more than an illusion, at least when it comes to communications.
A report in the Times of Israel noted that in 2009, for instance, the Israel Police filed 9,000 requests for personal information from local cellphone and Internet companies. The companies, including Google, were compelled to provide that information even without a warrant, and even though thousands of the requests had nothing to do with terrorist threats or criminal violence.
A year earlier, the Association for Civil Rights in Israel had filed a lawsuit against the government and the compliant companies, demanding an end to unchecked surveillance of personal communications. The courts threw the case out, prompting the government to seek even broader powers.
Today in Israel, the police, the various national security agencies, the army, the tax authorities, the Environment Ministry and even the National Parks Authority have the right to request, without a warrant, private and personal communications from average citizens.
And yet, there is little, if any, local outcry. "Israelis are used to being spied on all the time," Jonathan Klinger, a lawyer specializing in media and technology, wrote on his personal blog. "As Israelis, the authority of the American agencies sounds like a joke."

2. Inspection on raw material when arrived
3. Roll forming the fin tube, while monitoring the whole process
4. Cut into customized length
5. Inspection on specification of finned tube
6. If required, we provide de-fin process, soft annealing, bending and coiling, welding connectors
7. Clean procedure, pressure test, drying and packing
Finned tube:
The finned tube provide by us is Extruded Type, which is different from the ones through HF Welding and Wrapping method. The fins are obtained by roll forming the outer surface of a soft seamless plain tube. The technology simply squeezes the wall thickness transforming into straight fins on the tube. So the fin and the tube are integrated and inseparable, which avoids the heat resistance between fin and tube, and optimizes heat exchange efficiency. Based on this structure, the Extruded type can survive more severe working conditions than other finned tubes. Also it, on the other hand, shows several unique features such as enhanced physical structure, resistance to vibration, anti-corrosion ability, and long service life, etc.
Under this technology, there are two major types of finned tubes available with us, Single metal tubes and Bimetallic tubes. The former uses Copper, Aluminum, and Copper Nickel alone. The later has a core tube on the inside made of harder material. In this case, the outer tube is rolled onto the core tube in order to provide for a tight bond and good thermal contact between the two tubes.
Customized finned tube is available. The specification table is followed below. If required, the fin tube can be made into various forms after soft annealing process. They can be used for cooling and heating in a large scale of conditions. For example, coils in water heater, oil cooler in large machines, heat transfer part in boiler and heat recovering system, air-conditioning and refrigeration industry as condenser part or evaporator part, etc.
The material for our fin tube covers Copper(C10200, C12000, C12200), Copper Nickel(C70600), Aluminum(1060), Aluminum alloy, Aluminum-Steel(bimetallic), Aluminum-Stainless Steel(bimetallic), Aluminum-Copper(bimetallic), Aluminum-Copper Nickel(bimetallic), Copper-Copper Nickel(bimetallic).

Authors and Artists :: Marci
Marci began her career by hand-painting floral designs on clothing. No one was more surprised than she was when one day, in a single burst of inspiration and a completely new and different art style, her delightful characters sprang from her pen! "Their wild and crazy hair is a sign of strength," she thought, "and their crooked little smiles are endearing." She quickly identified the charming characters as Mother, Daughter, Sister, Father, Son, Friend, and so on, until all the people and places in life were filled. Then, with her own loved ones in mind, she wrote a true and special sentiment to each one. This would be the beginning of a wonderful success story, which today still finds Marci writing each and every one of her verses in this same personal way.
Marci is a self-taught artist who has always enjoyed writing and art. She grew up working in her family's small grocery and sub shop. It was there, as she watched her dad interact with customers, she learned that relationships in the workplace and community, as well as in the family, provide the greatest satisfaction and joy.
She went on to develop a business from her home, making home-baked breads, cakes, and pastries to be sold in her dad's store. Later, she developed another small home-based business hand-painting clothing for women. When she started, she didn't have any idea she could paint and was amazed at how many people loved her work! She was gratified that she could create "wearables" that brought so much joy those who wore them.
Now as she looks back, Marci sees how all her interests were pieces of a puzzle that fit together and gave her the skills she needed for her work today as artist and author. She is thrilled to see how her delightful characters and universal messages of love have touched the hearts and lives of people everywhere.

December 17, 2019 – Cypress, CA – Simply completing a bachelors degree as a working adult can be a challenge, but there are those select Trident University students who have risen to that challenge, and then some, meeting the highest of standards. As a way to recognize bachelors degree students who display a high level of academic excellence, we published our first Dean's List in December of 2013.
The students whose names are listed below are recognized for academic achievement in the October Fastrac 2019 session.
To be eligible for the Dean's List the following criteria applies:
- Must be an undergraduate, degree-seeking student (non-degree seeking students are ineligible)
- Must successfully complete a minimum of 8 credits (two classes) in the session. Students who earn one or more grades of I*, W, D, or F in the session are ineligible
- Must meet Satisfactory Academic Progress (SAP) requirements as set forth in the university catalog
- Must achieve GPA of 3.5 or higher for the courses taken that session – *Grades of Incomplete cannot be calculated into the GPA
There is no limit as to the number of times students may be recognized with this honor, provided they meet the eligibility criteria in each session. The Dean's List is separate from graduation honors recognition, which considers a student's cumulative GPA upon completion of the degree.
|Please join us in congratulating the fine work of these students!

WASHINGTON — President Obama, in a striking legal and political shift, has determined that the Defense of Marriage Act — the 1996 law that bars federal recognition of same-sex marriages — is unconstitutional, and has directed the Justice Department to stop defending the law in court, the administration said Wednesday.
Attorney General Eric H. Holder Jr. announced the decision in a letter to members of Congress. In it, he said the administration was taking the extraordinary step of refusing to defend the law, despite having done so during Mr. Obama's first two years in the White House.
"The president and I have concluded that classifications based on sexual orientation" should be subjected to a strict legal test intended to block unfair discrimination, Mr. Holder wrote. As a result, he said, a crucial provision of the Defense of Marriage Act "is unconstitutional."
Conservatives denounced the shift, gay rights advocates hailed it as a watershed, and legal scholars said it could have far-reaching implications beyond the marriage law. For Mr. Obama, who opposes same-sex marriage but has said repeatedly that his views are "evolving," there are political implications as well. Coming on the heels of his push for Congress to repeal the "don't ask, don't tell" law barring the military from allowing gay people to serve openly, the administration's move seems likely to intensify the long-running cultural clash over same-sex marriage as the 2012 political campaign is heating up.
"This is a great step by the Obama administration and a tipping point for the gay rights movement that will have ripple effects in contexts beyond the Defense of Marriage Act," said Anthony D. Romero, the executive director of the American Civil Liberties Union. "It will reach into issues of employment discrimination, family recognition and full equality rights for lesbian and gay people."
But some conservatives questioned Mr. Obama's timing and accused him of trying to change the subject from spending cuts to social causes. Others portrayed the Justice Department's abandonment of the Defense of Marriage Act as an outrageous political move that was legally unjustified.
"It is a transparent attempt to shirk the department's duty to defend the laws passed by Congress," Representative Lamar Smith, the Texas Republican who is chairman of the House Judiciary Committee, said in a statement. "This is the real politicization of the Justice Department — when the personal views of the president override the government's duty to defend the law of the land."
While the issue at hand is whether gay couples in the eight states that already legally recognize same-sex marriage may be discriminated against by the federal government, the administration's decision raised anew the more fundamental question of whether same-sex couples should have a right to marry.
Mr. Obama takes a nuanced position on same-sex marriage, and the White House was careful to say on Wednesday that his position on that issue — he favors civil unions — remains unchanged. Many advocates of same-sex marriage, though, perceived the administration's new legal stance as a signal that Mr. Obama would soon embrace their cause.
Polls show the public is broadly supportive of equal rights for gay people — with the exception of the right to marry. Nearly 90 percent of Americans favor equality of opportunity in the workplace, and more than 60 percent favored overturning "don't ask, don't tell." But the public remains evenly divided on same-sex marriage.
Tobias B. Wolff, a University of Pennsylvania law professor who has advised Mr. Obama on gay rights issues, said Wednesday's decision may have bought the president some time with gay rights leaders, many of whom have been deeply critical of his position on the marriage issue.
"He has said that he has been struggling with the issue, and I think he has earned a certain benefit of the doubt," Mr. Wolff said.
But the move also sharpened criticism of Mr. Obama from the right. Senator Charles E. Grassley, Republican of Iowa, said the shift was "clearly based more on politics than the law."
While Mr. Obama has called for Congress to repeal the marriage law, in court his administration has supported the constitutional right of Congress to enact such a measure. But his legal team was forced to take a second look at the sustainability of that position because of two recent lawsuits challenging the statute. The Justice Department must file responses to both suits by March 11.
For technical reasons, it would have been far more difficult — both legally and politically — for the administration to keep arguing that the marriage law is constitutional in these new lawsuits. To assert that gay people do not qualify for extra legal protection against official discrimination, legal specialists say, the Justice Department would most likely have had to conclude that they have not been historically stigmatized and can change their orientation.
The development floored Edith S. Windsor, an 81-year-old widow who filed one of the two new lawsuits in New York. Ms. Windsor is seeking the return of about $360,000 in estate taxes she had to pay because the federal government did not recognize their marriage when her wife died two years ago. The couple married in Toronto.
"It's almost overwhelming," Ms. Windsor said in an interview. "I don't know what it means in terms of what follows. But the very fact that the president and the Department of Justice are making such a statement is mind-blowing to anybody gay or anybody who is related to anybody gay. I think it removes a great deal of the stigma. It's just great."
If the courts agree with the administration's view of how to evaluate gay-rights claims of official discrimination, it could open the door to new legal challenges to many other government policies that treat gay people unequally — including federal laws that make it easier for noncitizen spouses to apply for legal residency and state laws governing who may adopt a child.
While it is rare for an administration not to defend the constitutionality of a statute, it happens occasionally. Congress may opt to appoint its own lawyers to defend the law, or outside groups may try to intervene. And while the Justice Department's lawyers will no longer defend the law in court, Mr. Holder said the administration would continue to enforce the act unless Congress repeals it or a court delivers a "definitive verdict against the law's constitutionality."
The administration's change in position grew out of an internal debate, first reported in January by The New York Times, over how to respond to the two lawsuits filed last year that challenged the 1996 act.
The same-sex marriage reversal followed weeks of high-level deliberations, first in the Justice Department's Civil Division, and then at the White House.
The lawsuits were brought by people including Ms. Windsor, whose same-sex marriages are recognized as legal by state law, but who have been denied certain federal benefits granted to opposite-sex married couples. The plaintiffs, represented by the A.C.L.U. and Glad — Gay and Lesbian Advocates and Defenders — contended that such treatment violated their right to equal protection of the law.
In previous cases, the Justice Department defended the act by citing precedents that directed judges to uphold any law that treats gay people unequally unless a challenger can prove there is no conceivable rational basis for the act. But the two new cases were filed in districts covered by the federal appeals court in New York, one of the few circuits that lack such a precedent.
As a result, the administration, for the first time, confronted the difficult question of how much protection gay people, as a group, should receive against official discrimination.
Mr. Holder said Justice and White House officials had concluded that gay people qualified for the greater protection afforded to a handful of classes, like race or gender. Under that test, discrimination is presumed to be unconstitutional, and Mr. Holder said it was untenable to keep defending the marriage law.

Center for Diabetes Education at
St. Anthony Community Hospital to offer
evening informational workshop,
'Preventing Foot Disorders for People With Diabetes'
October 15 program conducted by Warwick Podiatrist Bruce D. Fischer, DPM
WARWICK — (Oct. 1) Foot care is essential for people with diabetes.
This is the message Warwick podiatrist Dr. Bruce D. Fischer will present to adults attending the regular monthly meeting of "Diabetes in Check" on Monday, October 15. The support group, open to anyone with Type 1 or Type 2 diabetes, is sponsored by the Center for Diabetes Education at St. Anthony Community Hospital.
"Diabetes in Check," will meet from 6:30-7:30 p.m. in the hospital's second-floor conference room. Everyone is invited to attend this important educational program geared for all adults with diabetes and their families.
Dr. Fischer is Board Certified in both Podiatric Orthopedics and Podiatric Surgery. He shares an office with his associate, Dr. Melinda E. Viscusi, at 19 Edward J. Lempka Drive in Florida, NY and at 9 Ronald Reagan Blvd in Warwick.
Diabetes is the most common cause of neuropathy, a loss of sensation in the feet. A person with Neuropathic Disease may step on a tack and not even know it.
Dr. Fischer will discuss how infection and loss of blood flow frequently complicate neuropathy and are the most common causes of serious foot disorders that often require amputation. With the loss of sensation, the patient may underestimate an injury that will predispose the foot to ulcerations, skin breakdown and infection.
"Although, according to the Center for Disease Control, diabetes is the leading cause of non-traumatic lower-limb amputation," said Certified Diabetes Educator Lourdes Braadt, RN, "the hospitalization rates for amputation have been decreasing and they attribute the decrease to foot care and blood glucose control among other factors. Taking care of your feet and visiting your podiatrist regularly is essential for diabetics."
Braadt and St. Anthony Community Hospital Lead Dietician Janine Killeen RD, CDE are also available at "Diabetes in Check" sessions to answer any questions
The Center for Diabetes Education at St. Anthony Community Hospital offers a series of classes for all patients who have been recently diagnosed with diabetes or those who demonstrate poorly controlled diets. During group or individual sessions, clinical instructors offer initial assessment, emotional support and will seek to help patients achieve a better understanding of the disease. They will show their patients how to live a normal and productive life with diabetes and how to control the disease through diet and exercise.
All adults with diabetes and their caregivers are urged to attend the October 15 "Diabetes in Check" meeting. Seating is limited and all those planning to attend are asked to reserve a place as soon as possible by calling 845-987-5168.
For more information about the Center for Diabetes Education, call 845-987-5168 or visit bschs.bonsecours.com.

Joss Whedon often said that Captain America was his ground zero for The Avengers. Sadly, not all the great Steve Rogers moments made it to the big screen. But on the new Blu-ray, we've got our first look at the First Avenger trying to find balance in his new future world. Pair this with the alternate opening sequence and you've got one somber Avengers. Plus, wait for the excellent cameo in the cafe.

text: Victoria Allure has the kind of ass you can see coming from down the street. Her ass is so big and fine that smaller asses frequently fall into its orbit. Take one look at her fine ass getting a big dick stuffed into it and you'll forget about all your troubles. Her big ebony booty shakes and bounces as she gets pounded, her perky little titties bouncing right along with them. Her favorite positions are cowgirl and doggy, so she can take it nice and deep in her pretty pink pussy. The only thing she loves more than sucking dick is taking one in that fine ass. So make sure you check out her Butts and Blacks scene, "Big Booty Allure," because Victoria Allure has got ass for weeks.

It's Winning Time
It's Winning Time
Back to following MiLB; there's always hope for tomorrow!
Placido Polanco out with a sore back. Let's hope it's contagious in the Phillies clubhouse.
How's the weather in Philly today?
700 just played the 1990 WS game 2 walk off win off the bat of Joe Oliver. Gotta love Nuxie's unbridled love of the Reds coming thru as he yells "and this one belongs to the Reds". I mentioned this on another board, but for all of his "left-right centerfield"s, a lot of color men could take a note from Nuxie's passion on the home town call. Marty's call of 4192 is more ingrained in me for Nuxie in the background yelling "get down ball, get down!" as much for the actual moment.
and on cue, there goes the play of 4192 w/ Joe in the background.
Hey, first Reds playoff game thread in RZ history!
Go Reds!!
Votto for MVP
Reds taking BP...looking very loose.

I've been in desperate need of a clone to help out for many moons now. While work is fun, there's not much time to relax which is important to maintain a good self.
Then one day I got wind of a place in Akihabara called Clone Factory. Went along to get my clone made and at the same time film what goes on for Culture Japan but didn't quite get the clone that I was looking for...
Outside Akihabara station on the way to Clone Factory.
Arrival at Clone Factory. A chair in the middle of the room is surrounded by digital SLR's - some on the ceiling too.
One side of the room has some 3D stuff going on.
Time to start the cloning process. First off I need to sit still in that chair for a few seconds.
Danny : "A *what* is going to be inserted in my where?"
Then before I could say "But I don't fancy a foreign object shoved up my b..." all the cameras start to trigger in a loop with some rays of wot not taking slices of measurements.
During the cloning process, ones soul can be seen exiting the body via the mouth. This is because the Mayans said that a single soul should not coexist in the same time and space. The device up the bottom is a SEU95 (Soul Expulsion Unit) that temporarily expels the soul outside the body for 0.955756 seconds.
All measurements and stats have been taken and are mished n mashed up using a state of the art Dell...
No that's not bashing Dell because I owned one too - which I gave to somebody I didn't like.
They need a while to prepare my data but what normally happens is that a 3D model of the subject is created from all the stats taken in the cloning process.
This is the boss of Clone Factory kaneko-san together with his clone.
Kaneko-san shows us how the SEU95 is inserted in the back orifice. Clone subjects have the choice of having this inserted in the front orifice (dolphin) too.
Once all the data is prepared, its time to print out the clone and that's done with the ZPrinter 650.
The printer has a tray of plaster where the clone is born. You can see the ink cartridges near the top.
The clones are printed using layers of ink which harden in the plaster. When the process is complete, the tray of plaster remains completely unchanged on the surface - we've already poked about with this one though.
This is what objects look like after printing. The remaining powdery plaster needs to be removed.
Next to the printer is another machine which handles the removal of excess plaster.
The machine makes sure that powder doesn't go all over the place when a jet of air is used to clean the object. If you breathe in the powder then it will clog up your lungs and cause death. But you will get a nice plaster cast of your lungs which is nice I guess.
Constant stream of air shoots out of this thingy. Possibly painful if you point it at your eye or other private parts.
Examples of some clones born at Clone Factory. You can see how these ladies looked like in their original 3D form at the Clone Factory site.
One of the reasons why the boss wanted to offer this cloning service is so that folks can preserve that special (some call it "unfortunate") moment in life - getting married or wot not. They would clone the makeup, hairstyle and dress worn at the time too.
Folks who want their own clone can contact Clone Factory to reserve a cloning session. They need a few days to prep your clone so if you are visiting Tokyo and want to take it back with you then book at the beginning of your trip. Don't forget to prepare 138000 yen for your clone ^^;
Clone Factory can clone pretty much any solid object and could even do Saber if I asked ^^;
Other clones in the office including the chap in gold who is Go Hiromi. For folks who have seen this episode of Culture Japan and didn't get the joke - its because he often shouts "Go!"
Some Vocaloid and Tohou printouts.
As you may be able to make out, the surface of the printed objects are a bit rough which is due to the limitations of the printer. Smoother surfaces can be gained by more expensive printers ^^
The other 3D printer which you already have seen is the Digital Wax that can print baby smooth surfaces.
The final product is then covered in some sort of top coat to protect the surface.
Which would you like to wake up beside to?
Quick snap with the clone factory team before heading off. My collars are folded underneath my shirt for the cloning process but completely forgot and continued filming in Akihabara like that ><
Next location is the Radio Kaikan.
A few days later, my clone is ready! My producer stuck the head on a stormtrooper body for me ^^;
Now all that's left is to get him to do some work - any of the following from my daily schedule.
TV production, Final Cut editing, blogging, meetings, working with illustrators, account management for our clients, artwork in Fireworks/Photoshop/Illustrator, preparing Keynotes, web UI design, new client acquisition, hoovering, toilet cleaning.
Unfortunately my clone doesn't seem to do much work and instead prefers to play with the girls in the office. I'm sure they should have left the soul in when making the copy.
Danny Clone : "Hmmmm, too big. But those eyes would make a lovely pillow."
Saber : "Get out of my face before I shove this melon pan up your tiny orifice and then make you eat it after."
Danny Clone : "....."
What would you print if you had your own 3D Printer?
Today's filming was for Culture Japan Season 1 - and you can see the snippet below.
Nearly forgot - some of these photos taken by Teddy.
For folks who would get a clone done of themselves - what body would you choose?
There are much more things you can do with a 3D printer - check out this post where I talk about how you can mass produce your own products.
And in this post you can read the latest progress on how I've used 3D printing technology to build my army of cyborg dolls ^^;
