The U.S. Authorities have made changes to their entry requirements which will affect any dual nationality customer who has a passport issued by a country which is eligible under the U.S. visa Waiver Programme AND a passport issued by Iran, Iraq, Sudan and Syria.
These customers with dual nationality will no longer be able to enter the U.S. using an ESTA under the Visa Waiver Programme.
In addition any customer who has an ESTA and that has visited Iran, Iraq, Sudan or Syria since March 1, 2011 should also expect not to be able to use the Visa Waiver Programme.
These customers will require a U.S. visa for future travel to the United States, and should contact their local US Embassy.
The United States have recently announced changes to the Visa Waiver Programme which means travellers in the following categories are no longer eligible to travel or be admitted to the United States under the Visa Waiver Programme:

The Foreign and Commonwealth Office (FCO) advise against all but essential travel to:
The area to which the FCO advise against all but essential travel does not include Kenya's safari destinations in the national parks, reserves and wildlife conservancies; including the Aberdare National Park, Amboseli, Laikipia, Lake Nakuru, Masai Mara, Meru, Mount Kenya, Samburu, Shimba Hills, Tsavo, nor does it include the beach resorts of Mombasa, Kilifi, Watamu and Diani.
You need a visa to enter Kenya. You can either get a visa on arrival at the airport, or before you travel. You can apply for single entry and transit visas on the ecitizen website. For all other types of visa, you'll need to apply at the nearest Kenyan High Commission or Embassy before you travel. For more information on different types of visas see the website of the Kenya High Commission.
British nationals don't need a visa for a short visit to Malawi. However, the Malawian government has announced that it intends to introduce a visa regime for British visitors (and nationals of other countries that charge a visa fee for Malawian nationals) from 1 October 2015. We have not been advised of the process or requirements. Given the possibility of arrangements being implemented at short notice we advise those visiting Malawi to bring cash in US dollars to cover any possible entry requirements. Contact the Malawian High Commission in London for more information.
At present you can get a visitor's permit or business visit permit on arrival, which will allow you to stay in Malawi for a short period for tourism, visiting relatives or business. The permit is valid for 30 days and can be extended for a further 60 days for a fee. For more information visit the Department of Immigration website.
In December 2014 the government announced that children under 12 travelling in economy class will be exempt from paying APD from 1 May 2015.
This means, if you have placed a booking with us which departs on or after 1 May 2015 and includes a child under the age of 12 on the date of travel you may be entitled to a refund.
To see if you are eligible for a refund:
We will then check the details of your booking and, working closely with our scheduled airline partners we will prioritise refund requests subject to each airline's policy. This may take some time as airlines are still updating their policies and we will let you know if you are due a refund as soon as possible.
Take a look at the documents below to better understand the various reference numbers and codes you will have been allocated on booking your trip.
We've tried to explain what each jumble of letters and numbers is for, and how you can use them in a variety of ways. Whether through the 'My trip' function on Netflights.com (take a look top right), on your airline's website or on Viewtrip.com
Sample documentation
Most airlines allow you to request your seat soon after you have completed your online booking. To ensure you have the best opportunity of requesting your preferred seat it is extremely important that you contact the airline as soon as possible.
Airlines sometimes switch the aircraft type close to the departure date due to load factors and maintenance. When these changes are made, pre-reserved seats are re-assigned and you could lose the seat you so carefully selected. In addition, airlines may release seats that were previously not available for assignment.
If you are experiencing problems then please feel free to contact Netflights Customer Contact Centre who will be happy to assist. Email: email@example.com
Meal requests
You can request a meal for select international flights with most airlines once you have completed your online booking.

Please bear in mind that airlines do not always guarantee availability.

The Government of Canada has introduced a new entry requirement, known as an Electronic Travel Authorization (eTA), for certain international travellers when they fly to Canada. Under eTA, citizens from countries other than the United States (U.S.) who do not need a visa to enter Canada will need to obtain an online authorization before flying to Canada.From August 1, 2015, eligible travellers can apply online for an eTA. On March 15, 2016, this entry requirement will become mandatory and travellers will need an eTA before they can board a flight to Canada.More information on eTA is available at www.canada.ca/eTA. You will find useful information, including who will need an eTA, how to apply, an eTA video, and detailed FAQs for customers.
From 1 October 2014, children travelling in and out of South Africa will be required to carry an unabridged birth certificate as well as a valid passport, under new regulations aimed at improving the safety of children.
The regulations came into effect at the end of May, but the Department of Home Affairs has delayed their implementation until 1 October, to make allowance for families who have already made plans for the upcoming school holidays.
The rules are aimed at improving the safety of children, including "their protection from child trafficking, abduction and kidnapping", the department said on Tuesday.
The department has urged citizens and foreign nationals to apply for unabridged birth certificates, which reflect the particulars of both parents, in good time in order to avoid possible delays to their travel plans. It can take up to six to eight weeks for an unabridged birth certificate application to be processed.
Quick guide to the new requirements:
If children are travelling with only one parent, they must produce an unabridged birth certificate as well as:
When a child is travelling as an unaccompanied minor, he or she must be able to produce:

I live in an apartment now which means I have to be more organized. Every bit of space counts! I decided a while back to start looking for a storage chest to use as a coffee table so my kids wouldn't leave 500 blankets laying around all the time. Unfortunately, they were all pretty expensive or didn't fit my decor. I was so happy one day when someone from my MOPS group posted a photo of one she wanted to sell for $10. SOLD! After buying the fabric and staples I spent about $30 total on this- waaaaay cheaper than brand new, and I love the fabric to boot!
Storage Chest Makeover- an upholstery tutorial
-A storage chest (duh)
-2.5 yards of home decor fabric, canvas, or cotton duck fabric (I used the cotton duck from Hobby Lobby. Much cheaper than home decor fabric) ***Tip***Choose a non-directional print! Especially if this is your first attempt at upholstery. No lines to match up!!!
-An electric staple gun (I borrowed one from a friend- trust me, this is MUCH easier than a manual one)
Blowin' the smoke off my gun. Because I can't help but do something nerdy when I wear my nerd glasses. |
-Sewing machine and matching thread
-Measuring tape
Got all your stuff? Good- it's go time!
Step One- Clean up the storage chest as needed and disassemble. I needed a Phillips head screwdriver to take mine apart.
***Two important tips!***
ONE- Take a picture of the way it is assembled up close. It might look self explanatory but those little pieces have to aim the right way and I promise you will forget.
TWO- place the tiny screw and pieces in a baggie and label which side they were on.
This is what it looked like before! |
Now taken apart! |
I had plenty of fabric so I gave myself plenty of fabric to work with. You can always trim later!!! |
Nice and pretty. |
Both long sides complete. |
Stapling along the way. |
Making it pretty! |
There- see how pretty that looks? |
My lid. Am I done yet? |
Add 2" to the HEIGHT of each side.
Add 1" to the WIDTH of each side.
Don't mess this part up! Measure twice, cut once!
The four pieces. |
Step Eight- Take the two ends and sew them together to make a tube.
Step Nine- Squeeze it onto the base of the storage chest, being sure to align the seams on the corners and have a similar amount hanging over the top and the bottom.
Step Ten- Staple the top all the way around, being sure to fold the corners neatly. Then flip it over and staple the bottom all the way around, pulling it super tight again!
A corner of the base to show an example. |
Step Twelve- Remember where all those pieces go? No? Whew- good thing you took those photos and kept the parts divided in baggies! Put it back together, using your fingers to feel for the holes where the screws originally went.
You need to use a little elbow grease to get the screws through the thick fabric. |
Stuff it full of blankets and pillows- you KNOW you have too many!!! |
Linked up at Coastal Charm! Head over to see more awesome ideas! Also linked at Tutorial Tuesdays at Hope Studios!

"What Is It" is a song recorded by American recording artists Baby Bash featuring Sean Kingston for Baby Bash's third album, Cyclone (2007). It was released on January 4, 2008 by Arista Records as the second single. It was written by Baby Bash, J.R. Rotem, Marty James and produced by J.R. Rotem and it contains a sample of "9MM Goes Bang" performed by KRS-One.
Nothing is a pronoun denoting the absence of anything. Nothing is a pronoun associated with nothingness. In nontechnical uses, nothing denotes things lacking importance, interest, value, relevance, or significance.Nothingness is the state of being nothing, the state of nonexistence of anything, or the property of having nothing.
Some would consider the study of "nothing" to be foolish, a typical response of this type is voiced by Giacomo Casanova (1725–1798) in conversation with his landlord, one Dr. Gozzi, who also happens to be a priest,
However, "nothingness" has been treated as a serious subject worthy of research for a very long time. In philosophy, to avoid linguistic traps over the meaning of "nothing", a phrase such as not-being is often employed to unambiguously make clear what is being discussed.
One of the earliest western philosophers to consider nothing as a concept was Parmenides (5th century BC) who was a Greek philosopher of the monist school. He argued that "nothing" cannot exist by the following line of reasoning: To speak of a thing, one has to speak of a thing that exists. Since we can speak of a thing in the past, it must still exist (in some sense) now and from this concludes that there is no such thing as change. As a corollary, there can be no such things as coming-into-being, passing-out-of-being, or not-being.
War is a state of armed conflict between societies. It is generally characterized by extreme collective aggression, destruction, and usually high mortality. The set of techniques and actions used to conduct war is known as warfare. An absence of war is usually called "peace". Total war is warfare that is not restricted to purely legitimate military targets, and can result in massive civilian or other non-combatant casualties.
While some scholars see war as a universal and ancestral aspect of human nature, others argue that it is only a result of specific socio-cultural or ecological circumstances.
In 2013 war resulted in 31,000 deaths down from 72,000 deaths in 1990. The deadliest war in history, in terms of the cumulative number of deaths since its start, is the Second World War, from 1939 to 1945, with 60–85 million deaths, followed by the Mongol conquests which was greater than 41 million. Proportionally speaking, the most destructive war in modern history is the War of the Triple Alliance, which took the lives of over 60% of Paraguay's population, according to Steven Pinker. In 2003, Richard Smalley identified war as the sixth (of ten) biggest problem facing humanity for the next fifty years. War usually results in significant deterioration of infrastructure and the ecosystem, a decrease in social spending, famine, large-scale emigration from the war zone, and often the mistreatment of prisoners of war or civilians. Another byproduct of some wars is the prevalence of propaganda by some or all parties in the conflict, and increased revenues by weapons manufacturers.

Edwin Starr (January 21, 1942 – April 2, 2003) was an American soul music singer. Starr is famous for his Norman Whitfield-produced Motown singles of the 1970s, most notably the number one hit "War".
Starr was born in Tennessee and raised in Ohio, and later lived in Detroit while singing for Ric Tic and Motown Records. Besides "War", Starr's songs "25 Miles" and "Stop the War Now" were also major successes in the 1960s. Starr's career shifted to the United Kingdom in the 1970s, where he continued to produce music, living there until his death.
Starr was born Charles Edwin Hatcher in Nashville, Tennessee, in 1942. He and his cousins, soul singers Roger and Willie Hatcher, moved to Cleveland, Ohio, where they were raised.
In 1957, Starr formed a doo-wop group, the Future Tones, and began his singing career. Starr lived in Detroit, Michigan, in the 1960s and recorded at first for the small Ric-Tic label, part of the Golden World recording company, and later for Motown Records (under the Gordy Records imprint), after the latter absorbed Ric-Tic in 1968.

LOUDON, N.H. -- Third-place was the perfect position for Jesse Little on the white flag lap at New Hampshire Motor Speedway Saturday. The end result was him standing in Victory Lane with his first career NASCAR K&N Pro Series East win.
The 17-year-old from Sherrills Ford, North Carolina, drove around the two wrecking leaders in Turn 3 en route to winning the Granite State 100. The NASCAR Next driver and 2013 K&N Pro East Sunoco Rookie of the Year was making his 33rd K&N Pro start.
"The celebration was one I will never forget," said Little. "It was truly amazing. And to do it on my mom's birthday, too - it's an amazing birthday present that I can hand her that trophy.
"It's one I'll never forget."
1 | Jesse Little |
2 | Eddie MacDonald |
3 | Cale Conley |
4 | Jay Beasley |
5 | Chad Finley |
Nick Drake led the field at the white flag lap, but when second-place Brandon Jones tried a bottom move in Turn 3, he got into Drake and the two wrecked. That opened the door for Little.
Drake wound up finishing 24th and Jones' car rolled across the line in 21st.
"The 33 just drove right into us," Drake said. "There's nothing else we could have done today and it's unfortunate for the entire team.
"The Bill McAnally NAPA Toyota was great today. We slowly made our way up to the front. My restarts are getting better each week and we were able to gain track position. We thought we had the win, but we were taken out coming for the checkered flag."
Said Jones: "That was a tough way to end yet another great run for our No. 33 Wolfpack Energy Services team. I hate that it had to happen that way, but I can't thank the guys on this crew for all the hard work they put in each and every week. Coming off the win in ARCA a week ago, it felt good to run up front once again, even if we don't have the overall result to go with it."
Eddie MacDonald ended up taking the runner-up finish, followed by Cale Conley and rookies Jay Beasley and Chad Finley.
MacDonald, a three-time K&N Pro East winner at New Hampshire, is set to make his NASCAR Sprint Cup Series debut Sunday. It was Little's ability to fend off MacDonald that put him in position when the leaders wrecked.
"The last couple laps, I just went into defense mode and I was just starting to drive a lot lower and take a lower approach to the corner to keep Eddie from not being able to get underneath me," Little said. "And once I started doing that, I immediately had a lot better grip and was able to put some room between me and him, and focus on the task in front of me."
Little's previous best finish in 33 K&N Pro starts was runner-up in the K&N Pro West race at Phoenix International Raceway in 2013.
Rookies Ronnie Bassett Jr. and Austin Hill took sixth and seventh, respectively, followed by Gray Gaulding, and rookies Brodie Kostecki and Kaz Grala.
Championship points leader Ben Rhodes, who entered the race with a shot to match the series record of five straight wins, came home 22nd. Rhodes won the 21 Means 21 and battled in the top five for most of the race before a late race procedure infraction on a restart resulted in a green-flag pass-through penalty took him out of contention.
"The way the race ended was unfortunate, but we are not looking back," Rhodes said. "The race at New Hampshire was disappointing, but that will be our mulligan for 2014. We'll move on and be ready to contend for the victory again next weekend."
Rhodes still leads Gaulding by 62 points and Cameron Hayley by 65 after 10 of 16 races. Little is fourth in points, followed by Jones.
The Granite State 100 will air on FOX Sports 1 on July 20 at noon.
The NASCAR K&N Pro Series East will race next in the JEGS 150 at Columbus (Ohio) Motor Speedway on Saturday, July 19.

Very pretty!
I do love these earrings. They are exactly what i was looking for. a well made, not flimsy earring for everyday. I went back and forth on the color, between the blue and the onyx, ultimately choosing blue, since i thought the onyx would end up being lost against my hair. I might still need the onyx - who knows! I will say though that they are VERY petite. They look quite a bit larger online in the pics, so i was a bit surprised at the size. I still love them though, and wear them interchangably with my gold huggie hoops.

Pretty Stone, Tiny Earrings
Earrings are really tiny, but well made. I kept them because I liked the color of the stone, but overpriced.

Hietalahti shipyard
This article needs additional citations for verification. (January 2009) (Learn how and when to remove this template message) |
Hietalahti shipyard (also known as Helsinki New Shipyard, Finnish: Helsingin uusi telakka) is a shipyard in Hietalahti, in downtown Helsinki, Finland. It is operated by Arctech Helsinki Shipyard, a subsidiary of Russian state-owned United Shipbuilding Corporation
The shipyard, previously known as Hietalahden Sulkutelakka ja Konepaja Oy (Swedish: Sandvikens Skeppsdocka och Mekaniska Verkstads Ab), was founded in 1865[1] and delivered its first ship in 1868. It also constructed horse-drawn trams and railroad cars. Wärtsilä bought the parent company Kone ja Silta in 1930's; it included also the Crichton-Vulcan shipyard in Turku. In 1965 the yard was renamed Wärtsilä Helsingin Telakka (Wärtsilä Helsinki Shipyard).
After the bankruptcy of Wärtsilä Marine in 1989 the yards were operated by the newly formed Masa Yards, bought by the Norwegian Kværner group in the mid 1990s and known as Kvaerner Masa Yards. In 2005 the company merged with the Aker Finnyards shipyard in Rauma and was renamed Aker Yards in 2006. In 2008 Aker Yards was acquired by STX Europe.
The shipyard and the cluster of cooperating companies have a strong know-how in shipbuilding for Arctic conditions; 60% of the icebreakers of the world are built in Helsinki.[2]

Scores of dogs — and two cats — gathered with their owners at Christ Episcopal Church on Tuesday evening to participate in the church's annual Feast of St. Francis Blessing of the Animals.
TUSCALOOSA | Scores of dogs — and two cats — gathered with their owners at Christ Episcopal Church on Tuesday evening to participate in the church's annual Feast of St. Francis Blessing of the Animals.
The Rev. David Meginniss, rector of Christ Episcopal, said St. Francis was a man who grew up as a rebellious teenager, but later had a revelation from God and renounced his ways and his father's wealth.
He moved into the wilderness, where he became a hermit. The animals of the wilderness were drawn to Francis because of his gentle spirit, Meginniss said, and that's why the Episcopal church honors St. Francis during his feast day by blessing pets.
"We just have dogs and cats today, but we had a hedgehog one year, which I didn't touch," he said. "We've also had spiders and lizards, but dogs seem to enjoy it the most. Cats just seem to tolerate it."
There was one exotic "pet" at the blessing this year: a stuffed owl doll.
The owl's owner said she brought it because she was told by a bishop that her face looked like it had the wisdom of an owl, and so to retain that wisdom, she wanted to get her owl doll blessed.
The celebration was comprised of prayers, Bible readings, singing "The Prayer of St. Francis," and concluded with Meginniss blessing each animal individually.
"Can I touch your dog?" Meginniss asked Veronica Meyer, a volunteer with the Humane Society of West Alabama who had brought Cerf, a furry brown half-chocolate labrador retriever/half-Alaskan husky who was one of the about 20 dogs at the event that was up for adoption.
Meyer told Meginniss, "Sure," and he bent down on one knee and placed a hand atop Cerf's head while bowing his own head in prayer.
"May you be blessed in the name of the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit," Meginniss prayed.
Cerf licked him.

Philippines President Rodrigo Duterte has described as "encouraging" his phone call with US President-elect Donald Trump, whom he said was understanding of his bloody war on drugs.
"I could sense a good rapport, an animated President-elect Trump. And he was wishing me success in my campaign against the drug problem," Duterte said in comments his office released on Saturday.
Trump's seven-minute chat on Friday with the Philippine president follows months of uncertainty about one of Washington's most important Asian alliances, stoked by Duterte's hostility towards President Barack Obama and repeated threats to sever decades-old defence ties.
Duterte's anger was unleashed following Obama's concerns about possible human rights abuses in his war on drugs, during which more than 2,000 people have been killed.
The Philippine leader said Trump was "sensitive" and understanding about his crackdown and was encouraged by what he interpreted as Trump's indication he would not interfere.
"He understood the way we are handling it … I supposed that what he really wanted to say was that we would be the last to interfere in the affairs of your own country."
He added: "We are doing it as a sovereign nation, the right way. And he wishes us well. And I said that, well, we assured him of our ties with America."
'Separation' from the US
His special adviser, Christopher Go, had earlier said in a text message to media that Trump had invited Duterte to visit the White House next year.
There appeared to be confusion, however. Duterte mentioned an invite to Washington and New York, and that Trump asked him to notify him of his presence "if I'm around".
A statement issued by Trump's transition team made no mention of that. It said the two men "noted the long history of friendship" between their countries and would work closely on "matters of shared interest and concern".
Duterte made waves when he visited China in October and announced his "separation" from the US.
In five months in office, he has upended Philippine foreign policy by berating the US, pursuing a new alliance with Russia and also China, with which Manila has a history of bitter disputes.
His diplomacy has created jitters among Asian nations concerned about Beijing's influence and Washington's regional staying power.
Duterte told Democrat Obama to "go to hell" and called him a "son of a bitch" whom he would humiliate if he visited the Philippines.
Despite his optimism about Trump's win, it has not stopped Duterte railing against what he calls a US history of "hypocrisy" and "bullying" worldwide.
Republican Trump told Reuters news agency during his campaign that Duterte's comments about Obama had showed "a lack of respect for our country". But he also stressed the "very important strategic location" of the Philippines.[alj]

Efficacy of Amlexanox vs. Placebo in Type 2 Diabetic Patients
This trial has been completed.
Conditions | diabetes mellitus type 2, non-alcoholic fatty liver disease, obesity |
Treatments | amlexanox, placebo |
Phase | phase 2 |
Sponsor | University of Michigan |
Start date | January 2014 |
End date | May 2016 |
Trial size | 42 participants |
Trial identifier | NCT01975935, HUM00079381 |
This study involves research about an investigational medicine called Amlexanox. The reason for this study is to find out how Amlexanox can improve type 2 diabetes, insulin resistance, obesity and non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD). In this study, Amlexanox is considered to be investigational (not approved by the Food and Drug Administration [FDA]) for type 2 diabetes, insulin resistance, obesity and non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD). This is a placebo controlled study. There is a 50-50 chance that the patient may either receive the study drug, Amlexanox, or a placebo (sugar pill). Neither the patient or the study doctors will know if the patient is receiving the study drug or placebo.

Additional Information
Official title | Clinical Protocol to Investigate the Efficacy of Amlexanox vs. Placebo for Treatment of Glucose and Lipid Abnormalities in Obese Type 2 Diabetics |
Description | This proposal focuses on a clinical proof of concept study to evaluate a novel hypothesis. We propose that overnutrition, leading to obesity, represents a state of excessive energy storage promoted by insulin. The stress of excessive energy storage initiates a set of homeostatic responses that includes the generation of adipose tissue and liver inflammation, which involves the secretion of proinflammatory cytokines that block energy storage in fat and liver by inducing insulin resistance, thus relieving stress on the adipocyte and hepatocyte. However, our recent data suggest that inflammation itself is countered by a secondary feedback loop, which we have termed "counter-inflammation". We propose that this process keeps inflammation in check, ensuring that it is maintained at low levels. At the same time counter-inflammation also promotes energy conservation via increased energy storage and decreased utilization in a manner that is insulin-independent. We hypothesize that the noncanonical IkB kinases Ikke and TBK1 are "counterinflammatory" kinases that feedback inhibit inflammatory pathways while helping to support a positive energy balance. How can this hypothesis be addressed in human subjects? A number of clinical trials have already been initiated with the intention of improving insulin resistance by attenuating inflammation. Many of these have focused on the blockade of single cytokines or their receptors such as TNFa, IL1 and MCP1 (CCR2 antagonist). While the record on these trials is mixed, the complexity of inflammatory pathways elicited during obesity suggests that inhibition of only a single cytokine is not likely to be sufficient. Additionally, because numerous studies have implicated the NFkB pathway in obesity-induced inflammation, NFkB inhibitors have been contemplated. Salsalate was originally resuscitated due to its perceived activity to block NFkB and hence to block inflammation. However, although clinical studies on this drug have been promising, precisely how salsalate works, what its target is, and whether it actually functions an NFkB inhibitor remains controversial (recent data indicate that it may act via activation of AMPK). We describe here a new potential therapeutic agent that is the result of an academic collaborative drug discovery effort carried out at the University of Michigan. Our studies on elucidating the role of NFkB in insulin resistance and macrophage activation led to the identification of Ikke and TBK1 as potential targets for therapeutic intervention in obesity and type 2 diabetes. We performed a high throughput screen searching for inhibitors of these kinases, evaluating a group of 175,000 compounds that included a collection of approved drugs. Interestingly, the most potent and specific inhibitor discovered was amlexanox; an older drug originally developed in Japan for the treatment of asthma and allergic rhinitis, and later in the US for aphthous ulcers, but without a well understood mechanism of action. It has been in use since 1987, and has a favorable side effect profile. This protocol is the first proof of concept study to evaluate the possible repurposing of Amlexanox for the treatment of type 2 diabetes and obesity. At the same time, we hope to test the hypothesis that IKKe and TBK1 may be important players in maintaining a positive energy balance, and also in supporting insulin resistance, during prolonged over-nutrition. Finally, these studies will also provide valuable insight into the validity of these two protein kinases as drug targets for the future development of new chemical entities useful in the treatment of type 2 diabetes. Therefore our specific aims are 1. Does amlexanox treatment improve measures of type 2 diabetes, insulin resistance and obesity? To address this question, we intend to treat patients with clinical Type 2 diabetes and Grade 1/2 obesity (BMI 27 to 45 kg/m2) for a period of 3 months in a double-blinded placebo controlled proof-of concept study. We will enroll 40 patients without evidence of severe end-organ damage from chronic complications of Type 2 diabetes who also are on metformin and/or DPPIV inhibitors or no medications, who also have clear-cut evidence of hyperglycemia (HbA1c>6.5% and <10.0%). These patients will be treated with either placebo or Amlexanox oral tablets at a starting dose of 25 mg PO tid for 2 weeks and then titrated up to a dose of 50 mg PO tid (doses used to treat asthma in humans and leading to serum concentrations comparable to metabolically effective doses in rodent studies) for the remainder of the therapy period. HbA1c is targeted as primary end-point in this study. Fasting lipid profiles, plasma insulin, HOMA-IR, clinical markers of inflammation and adipocytokine profiles will be measured as other parameters of interest at baseline, 6 weeks and 12 weeks. Insulin secretion as well as insulin sensitivity will be probed using a mixed meal test. Weight is also an important but secondary end-point in this study. We will determine resting energy expenditure with indirect calorimetry and total body composition using DEXA at baseline and 12 weeks. Safety monitoring with CBC, comprehensive metabolic biochemistry, CPK and urine analyses will be undertaken at 1, 2, 4, 6, and 12 weeks, and urinary albumin at baseline and 12 weeks. Measures of safety and efficacy will be repeated 4 weeks after the drug has been discontinued as well. 2. Does amlexanox treatment improve measures of NAFLD in obese patients? All participants in the clinical proof-of-concept study outlined in the aim above will be studied for the degree of steatosis in the liver with the use of MRI and MR spectroscopy at baseline and at 3 months of the study. 3. Development of biomarkers for treatment of patients with type 2 diabetes by amlexanox. We will evaluate the phosphorylation of proteins known to be targets of IKKe and TBK1 in blood, and adipose tissue samples. We will use phospho-specific antibodies to evaluate the regulation of targets that play a role in energy metabolism, and also in feedback inhibition of NFkB. These studies will pave the way for future evaluations probing the metabolic relevance of IKKe and TBK1 in humans using the same agent or more potent ones to be discovered or designed. |

No matter how much I exfoliate the condition never changes so I recently decided to try out nose pore strips.I remember years ago when we all still lived at home and nose pore strips first came out or became popular in Ireland my mam brought home a box to try. We all waited patiently for her to take the nose strip off to see the results, we sound like a right weird family but there wasn't a lot to do in the country apart from climbing hay bails! My mam seemed impressed with the results on the strip as we all looked at it in disgust! I must have been around 12 I think!
I went on the hunt for some about two months ago in the Dublin, Boots was my first port of call. I was kinda of broke so I wanted to get them for as cheep as possible. The ranged from €6.99 all the way up to €12.99 in Boots but I felt I could do better! I found these Deep cleansing nose pore strips by Purederm in a Mark Ellis Pharmacy for €3.99 and I thought can't get much better than that!
The Process is so simple
- Make sure your face is thoroughly clean.
- Wet nose and apply the nose strip with the outward curve covering the tip of your nose.
- Leave on for 10-15 or until the strip is completely dry.
- Peel off and I like to go over my nose with a face cloth and a bit of warm water to clean off excess product that's been left behind by the strip.
If you are not too squeamish you can click on these images to see what the nose pore strips remove each use!
