The Kinney Center for Autism Education and Support at Saint Joseph's University (SJU) is transforming outcomes for individuals impacted by autism through a two-fold mission to educate and train the autism professionals of tomorrow, while supporting and serving the individuals and their families affected by autism today.
The Kinney Center has expanded rapidly since its founding in 2009. Fueled by strong demand for evidence-based behavioral health services for individuals with autism, it now serves over 800 individuals each year at all stages of the lifecycle while training 105 SJU undergraduates through the SCHOLARS program.
The SCHOLARS program prepares future professionals to have an immediate impact in the field of autism through 40 hours of annual summer classroom training and 20 hours of additional training throughout the year on the principles of applied behavior analysis (ABA) consistent with the of the Behavior Analyst Certification Board (BACB)'s Registered Behavior Technician (RBT) Task List, autism spectrum disorders, classroom management tools, behavior protocols, CPR/First Aid, ad crisis prevention/intervention techniques. Three Board Certified Behavior Analysts led all trainings. SCHOLARS receive hands-on training supporting individuals with autism age 3 to 60 in Kinney Center programs, acquiring over 2,000 hours of professional experience by their college graduation.
The SCHOLARS program provides an effective vehicle to deliver high quality behavioral health services to individuals with autism in a cost-effective manner, allowing the Kinney Center to employ a direct care staff that is both less expensive and better trained than the current direct care staff at other behavioral health providers. The hours and scope of training that SCHOLARS receive far exceeds state regulations and level of training direct care staff receive from most other service providers in Pennsylvania, resulting in the best possible outcomes for individuals with autism.
Kinney SCHOLARS receive extensive training in ABA and apply ABA in all client interactions. They plan and implement appropriate lessons; monitor participants' progress; record and analyze data; assist with assessments; and provide 1:1 support for all learners. After completing 40 hours of initial classroom training, SCHOLARS assist with all Center programs with weekly supervision by a BCBA via direct observation.
The Kinney Center's intensive training and supervision model can easily be emulated and implemented by other service providers and allows the Kinney Center to customize the application of ABA for each learner in Center programs. SCHOLARS receive supervision and training from three full-time, highly skilled staff members who are Board Certified Behavior Analysts (BCBA) with extensive experience and masters level degrees in a related field.
These staff members partner with Dr. Michelle Rowe, Academic Executive Director at the Kinney Center, licensed psychologist, and Professor of Health Services at SJU, to develop and implement the initial SCHOLARS training curriculum as well as two hours of weekly continuing training sessions. During the weekly sessions, SCHOLARS obtain feedback on how to more effectively apply the principles of ABA to each individual, allowing them to modify lesson plans to goals as needed for each individual. This results in highly individualized services for all learners.
The SCHOLARS program is sustainable and has established relationships with school districts and service providers. The Kinney Center partners with Philadelphia, Upper Darby, Radnor, Tredyffrin Easttown, Lower Merion, and Swarthmore-Wallingford School Districts who pay for the Center to provide transitional/day services and extended school year services for students with autism. Because of the SCHOLARS program, the Kinney Center's services are affordable and more effective than school district's own services at addressing the unique development needs required by students with autism.
Additionally, service providers including Bancroft, Deveraux, and Melmark and school districts have expressed a strong interest in hiring SCHOLARS for full-time positions.
The SCHOLARS program makes the Kinney Center's outstanding services financially sustainable. SCHOLARS earn between $7 and $9 per hour wage based on their years of service and performance evaluation. Since they are in a training program, they earn less than direct care staff at other service providers.
The SCHOLARS program has potential for replication by universities teac hing paraprofessionals how to interact more effectively with individuals with autism through the SCHOLARS training manual's dissemination. While many universities offer resources for autism and training programs, the Kinney Center is the only autism center that fully integrates its training program into behavioral health services.
Based on the principles of ABA, the SCHOLARS training manual provides 40 hours of training that incorporates lectures, role playing, and modeling behavior with beginner, intermediate, and advanced levels. Paraprofessionals learn to apply ABA in a way that recognizes each person's unique strengths and needs. Additionally, the manual teaches paraprofessionals to collaborate with parents and staff for the best possible outcomes for each person with autism. By the time they complete the advanced level curriculum, students in the SCHOLARS programwill have received 240 hours of classroom training across 4 years of their undergraduate program .
The Kinney Center measures the SCHOLARS program's effectiveness by the percent of SCHOLARS alumni pursuing a field of study related to autism in graduate school or are employed in a related position. The goal is 80 percent of SCHOALRS will be in a related field of study or work. Currently over 95 percent of SCHOLARS alumni have met this benchmark, significantly higher than the goal.
Additionally, the Center measures the SCHOLARS program's performance through the progress of learners with autism towards measurable skills. Their progress demonstrates the effectiveness of SCHOLARS in employing multiple strategies and problem solving to help learners make progress towards behavioral skills.
The Kinney Center is proud that 99 percent of 292 learners in social skills, recreation, independent living, and job skills programs in 2014 made measurable progress towards skills. This exceptionally strong outcome directly reflects the effectiveness of the SCHOLARS training program.

As promised in the April update, we are now able to give details of Ian Edward's funeral which will take place at 10.30am on Friday 27th April at Ebdon Road Crematorium. Our heartfelt condolences go out to Jennie and family.
It is with sadness that we have learned of the death of George Knox, aged 92, Life Member of this Society. With his wife, Millie, George contributed greatly to the Society. They were in charge of our Stand at numerous Family History Fairs and were well known to other societies. Millie, who died in 2015, was our Secretary and George edited the Journal as well as overseeing the transcription of the 1891 census when it was released and he produced our first publications of transcriptions in booklet format. We miss them both and our sympathy goes to their family.
His Funeral service will be at Weston-super-Mare Crematorium on Monday February 26th at 11.00am. Family flowers only by request but donations in memory of George to Diabetes UK may be sent c/o L Bennett & Son Funeral Directors 9 Queens Rd Clevedon BS21 7TH. Tel 01275 875882.
Congratulations Julie on a fantastic piece of work on your family history! Thank you for sharing it with other members. It can be seen under JAKEWAY Members' Surname Interests.
Radio Bristol published this interview yesterday and you may find it interesting. Also this article appeared in Buckets & Spades and if you search our site with "WW2" (using the search box at the top of the home page) you will find other items including the memorial in the Cemetery to the Civilians who are buried there.
I have had the following email from Anton de Man in Holland. Can anyone help please?
"On September 18th 1944 an RAF plane was shot down at Strijen-Sas in The Netherlands. The pilot died. His name was Flying Officer Robert Hawksley HANNEY aged 19yrs. His grave is in the cemetery in Strijen. His parents were Charles Percival HANNEY & Dora Grace HANNEY who lived in Weston super Mare.
We are making a digital monument with tiles and on the tiles a QR code. Under the QR code you can add the life story of F/O Hanney, but we would like to know his story before he entered the RAF. We would like to find relatives or family of F/O HANNEY so we can make it a true life story."
If you have any information please contact Anton at email@example.com

The following relates to an item that appeared in the Lost Cousins newsletter:
I hope you found my latest newsletter both interesting and useful (I'm already working on the next one).
As promised I'm writing to all those who have indicated on their My Details page that they've taken a DNA test to let you know about the latest offers - after all, once you've been bitten by the DNA bug, you'll almost certainly want your siblings and cousins to test!
At the present time only Ancestry DNA have announced offers. In my newsletter you'll find links to their offers for the US, Canada, and Australia/New Zealand:
Those offers all end on Sunday 19th March. The discount for researchers in Australia is an amazing 30%, but the normal price is higher (so don't feel aggrieved if you live in the US or Canada).
From Friday 17th March I'll be able to offer members in the UK a discount of 10 pounds on Ancestry DNA tests, and this offer will run until Sunday 26th March. You might receive an email direct from Ancestry publicising the same offer before Friday - just bear in mind that if you take up the offer in the email LostCousins will NOT benefit.
Note: this isn't the only offer in the pipeline so I'm going to be sending out another newsletter on Friday - this will have links to all of the Ancestry DNA offers and lots more besides, so keep an eye on your inbox!
Even at the discounted price Ancestry DNA tests are a bit more expensive than Family Tree DNA once shipping is taken into account, but because Ancestry have by far the largest user base it's probably worth paying a little extra. I think they would also claim that their matching is also more accurate, since they use a 'phasing algorithm', and they could be right, though I have no hard evidence.
By the way, I tested with FTDNA, my brother with Ancestry. We both got lots of matches.
I recommend that you upload a family tree to Ancestry if you test with them, but it should ideally be a private tree (like mine). They imply that you won't get tree matches if your tree is private, but I did! Of course, you'll get DNA matches whether or not you upload a tree.
Whichever company you test with you can download the raw results then upload them to GEDmatch and Family Tree DNA to make even more matches. It's a lot easier than it sounds.
Remember that it's the earliest generations that should test, so if either of your parents is still around (or one of their full siblings), they should be the ones to test. The same reasoning applies to your cousins, of course.
As ever I'm here if you have questions or need some advice.

We have been told that David's funeral will take place on Tuesday, 21st June at 11 o'clock at South Bristol Crematorium. The family have asked that any donations in his memory should be made to The Royal British Legion, Nailsea Branch, with which David was also very involved.
It is with great sadness that we have to report the death of David Milner, our treasurer. He has been an enthusiastic member for many years and has kept our finances in order for several of them. Not only did he share his interest in his own family history with us but also his encyclopaedic knowledge of the Battle of Waterloo. He leaves us with many happy and grateful memories of his involvement with the society and we extend our sympathy to Maureen and his family.

Carriage in bulk of noxious liquid substances and chemicals is covered by regulations in SOLAS Chapter VII and MARPOL Annex II, as well as by the International Code for the Construction and Equipment of Ships Carrying Dangerous Chemicals in Bulk (IBC Code).
Members involved in these trades should be aware that recent revisions to MARPOL Annex II and to the IBC Code will come into force with effect from 1st January 2007 and will have implications for the validity of related certification. Concerns have been expressed in recent months by INTERTANKO, and by classification societies, that some operators have left their preparations too late to achieve new certification by the beginning of the year.
Under the revisions, four new pollution categories of noxious liquid substances are rated by their potential impact on the environment (and replace five categories in the current system). The new categories are Category X - major hazard; Category Y - hazard; Category Z - minor hazard; and Category OS – "other substances" with no risk (comprising only apple juice, clay slurry, coal slurry, dextrose solution, glucose solution, kaoline slurry, molasses and water).
As a result of the revisions, liquid products other than those defined as oil, cannot be transported in bulk, unless the product is categorized for inclusion in the IBC Code. The revised requirements will particularly affect vegetable oil cargoes, which from January 2007 will be newly categorised as Category Y cargoes only to be carried in ships holding a Certificate of Fitness issued under the revised requirements.
Amongst other requirements in the revisions are new stripping provisions to reflect lower permitted discharge levels for some products, and provisions for pre-washing of cargo tanks for many cargo types.
If your vessel currently has an "International Certificate of Fitness for the Carriage of Dangerous Chemicals in Bulk" (Chemical Code Certificate of Fitness), or an "International Pollution Prevention Certificate for the Carriage of Noxious Liquid Substances in Bulk" (NLS Certificate), you should be aware that these will cease to be valid on 1st January 2007, save in relation to carriage of cargoes loaded before that date.
A revised Procedures and Arrangements Manual ("P&A") needs to have been approved by the Classification Society for the ship and to be available on board, prior to the issuance of new certificates. In approving the P&A Manuals, classification societies have already advised that they will be paying specific attention to stripping and pre-wash requirement revisions.
Further Information
An excellent source of general guidance can be found in the INTERTANKO's Practical Guide to the Revisions to MARPOL Annex II - which is freely available at their website. For detailed advice on establishing new P&A manuals, and obtaining revised documentation, owners should contact their classification societies.

Medicine Essay Writing
In the introductory part of an essay, the writer should specify the purpose of the idea. It is essential to develop and elaborate an idea and be unique. Describe your early experiences and unfold your determination in a natural way. How you have observed doctors perform their duties. An example of introduction can be an experienced case in the family line, or experience of a patient.
My Career in Medicine
"One day at the age of ten, my brother and I were playing by a valley road near the municipal church. James never knew it would be his last time walking on both legs. I kick the ball which went past the road across to the footbridge. James went across the road to collect it but never came back. He was knocked off the road by a van driver who was unaware of anybody crossing. I remember vividly when he tried to run back from the middle of the road but was too late. James was quickly rushed to the hospital by the paramedic amidst a pool of blood all over his body. The hospital experience was, therefore, a turning point towards my medical career."
Body Paragraphs of essay
At the beginning of the body paragraphs, always create a link to the introduction or thesis statement using transitional words. However, you can as well link the introduction and the body with a statement of continuation. The paragraphs should have the same structure with the main idea in the first sentence, followed by points to support the idea and their elaborations. Ensure that all the paragraphs are linked to the main theme of the typed essay, for example:
"Spending much of my time without James was the difficult experience of my life. I had to pay him a visit daily at the hospital as he went on recovery. A shock of my life was when D. Peter broke out the news of limb amputation to my family. I could not comprehend seeing James in scratches for the rest of his life. I beg Dr. Peter to spare his legs amidst tears, but my Father assured me of the greatest gift of life. "Mark you have not to worry, even though James won't walk on two legs now, we will still be with him", the father. All I knew was I will never have a player partner in our house. Furthermore, Nurse Lillian sat next to my seat and assured us of the safety of all the procedures James has to be taken through.
At the hospital, I noticed that it was my family that was frightened due to the condition. However, the doctors and nurses whom I was now familiar with took such situations as normal. I developed a trust in Dr. Peter and Nurse Lillian, who attended to James. It was as if an unnoticed bond existed between us. Today, I still remember the very words nurse Lillian whispered in my ears: "James will be upset when he sees you in tears, you're the now his partner in sorrow". I'm still frightened at accident scenes and fear more getting accident than the years of my younger age. However, the experience I had when James was admitted to the hospital transformed my attitude towards helping people with medical needs, psychological assurance and providing emotional support to them.
After completing my high school level, I joined a first aid training program and my first-hand on experience was during an athletic activity. I dressed minor wounds and provided minor physical therapy to different athletes before being admitted for a proper check-up in the hospital. Thus, I developed a passion for medicine, especially provision of treatment and counseling. In addition, I was interested in medicine at the college level when I became a research assistant to a professor who was conducting a research on different fractures and how such can be successfully attended to. The professor was in the field of orthopedics. In the course of the research, I studied the art of dressing different wounds and fractures as well as observing such under x-ray images."
The concluding part is a brief synthesis of the facts and experiences within the theme of the essay and an expectation after the experience and ensures no new information is added, for example:
"I am excited to continue on this path and pursue my career in medicine. I'm sure that a lot need to be researched on in the field of medicine and orthopedic especially fracture attendance which I have to accomplish. It is for this reason that I'm ready to join the Johns Hopkins School of Medicine as it provides a top program for surgery and orthopedic. I intend to have a multidisciplinary approach to medicine by also practicing counseling to patients. I'm passionate in providing my future patients with the best service in my career based on the early experience I had at the first moment James was admitted. I'm aware of the greatest challenge and commitment required in the medicine and I am ready to prove myself worthy of achieving the dream since the accident occurred: I am determined to be a doctor one day."
Outline Sample
Introduce your topic and specify the idea and reason for the topic. Then follow it with a thesis statement. Readers should not have a difficult time identifying the thesis statement.
Develop the main points of argument or presentation in the body. Ensure you start with an idea in the topic sentence. Elaborate the point using examples and have a reasoning end and a transitional procedure to the next paragraph. The body should have two to three paragraphs that are well elaborated, but it is unlimited based on the topic you are handling.
Provide a brief summary of the ideas discussed related to the topic. Synthesize the main points and show the readers the implication of the essay. What should they do? Or what is your next step?

This is the final installment of Robin Wheeler's Chef's Choice profile of Robin Murphy of Baileys' Chocolate Bar, Rooster and the Bridge Tap House & Wine Bar. Part one is available here; part two, a Q&A, is posted here.
Robin Murphy had already proven herself at Baileys' Chocolate Bar and Rooster when owner Dave Bailey asked her to create a menu for the Bridge Tap House & Wine Bar.
"All right, let's pair our food with what goes with beer," she said.
Her brainstorming led to a menu filled with easy noshables: cheese plates, nuts and homemade pretzels, along with a selection of comfort foods.
A fan of grazing, Murphy's loves these simple spiced pistachios. You can buy pre-seasoned nuts, but they don't pack the wallop of her handcrafted version.
"That's the key to my food - just very simple things, very approachable, but when you eat it, there's something different. That's just attention to detail and using good-quality ingredients."
They start with a peppery bite, tempered with the cool acidity of fresh lime juice and olive oil and the pistachios' butteriness. They can be made in large batches and they'll keep for several days -- if they last that long.
Spicy Pistachios 1/2 cup lime juice 5 tablespoons olive oil 1-1/2 tablespoons paprika 1/2 tablespoon cayenne pepper 1-1/2 tablespoons kosher salt 2-1/2 pounds pistachios (unshelled)
Preheat oven to 225 degrees. Line a full sheet pan or two cookie sheets with parchment. Set aside.
Combine everything but the pistachios in a large bowl.
Using a rubber spatula or wooden spoon, add pistachios and toss until well-coated.
Spread pistachios evenly onto the sheet pan and bake for 20 minutes. Remove pan, stir and return to oven for another 15 minutes.
To test for doneness, remove one pistachio, crack it open and see if it's dry under the shell. If so, remove pan from the oven and allow to cool. If not, recheck at five-minute intervals.
Store double-wrapped.

First Rate- Walky TalkyzApril 29th, 2005
This strong collection of DJ First Rate produced tracks begins with a really enjoyable intro which has some cool singing and a nice beat. That rolls into 'Barfight' which features Skinnyman. It's a great story telling song with a bouncy fun production. It's really good to hear Skinny rhyming about a topic such as this. As good as the social commentary is, this makes a welcomed change.
Red Eye features on 'Bang On'. Again the beat is dope, comprising of some nice handclap/finger clicking sounds, a jazzy guitar and solid vocals which were surprisingly soulful and sung. 'One Day' features John Muculan. It's got a laid back and chilled vibe to it, and is quite atmospheric. The vocals are also sung, which is nice to hear as it's not often decent quality sung voices are included in UK hip-hop product.
The Procussions feature on 'Freedom'. The American guys lace a nice beat which has KRS One sampled into its beginning, with some friendly, warm verses that get the feet tapping and shoulders swaying from side to side.
Sponge Crew feature on the instrumental, 'The Practice' which is a very appropriate track to put on when you've had a stressed day at work and need to unwind. It'll have you chilled out and revitalised in no time.
'The Cutz' is a far more busy track, full of dope scratching by First Rate. There's some samples in there, nice beats and all sorts of cool sound effects. It's proof of First Rate's ability to glide between different genre's and types of sounds within them.
'Hamburger' by Blade should appear on the soundtrack to 'Supersize Me', if there is one. It's an entertaining tale about one man and his burger. The beat has a really cool keyboard bounce between two notes, dope bass and a subtle but excellent use of drums. This was a track on a recent 12" from Blade.
'Istanbul' is a btg faster in tempo and begins with a quite basic drum loop. This is slowly and gradually built upon as some vocal samples are quietly added as well as jazzy laid back guitar. Things get a little faster half way in and an interesting dug record is sampled in. Not quite sure on why the track's called what it is.
'Loop De Loop' is a really funky instrumental which sounds great at high volume. It's the kind of stuff you'd find on a DJ Format album if he wasn't so predictable all the time. There's some cut in old records, sounds that sway from one side of the speakers to the other and a whole lot more.
Phi Life Cpyher are on 'New Rulesz'. Following on from a couple of instrumentals, this sounds particularly energetic and loud. The guy's rhyming styles are top notch as always. Their manor of getting tons of words into each bar is still impressive and results in a song with a lot of playback value, because for a while you're gonna keep picking up on new lines each time.
'Walk The Walk' starts with two guys talking about how one of them started crying when they heard a particular Pete Rock record. It's an example of a love and passion for music which is evidently inside First Rate too, as the awesome array of atmospheres and sounds on this CD demonstrate.
'Something In The Way You Make Me Feel' is an as usual, annoying beat boxing track, this time from Killa Kela. It's not annoying because it's crap. It bugs me because its ever impressive, and something I still can't get my head around being possible. The song gets more and more layered along the way and builds up into a very enjoyable listening experience- as is the whole album.
'I Wander' which features Project Redemption, is an extremely positive, uplifting, soulful and inspiring track with a constructive message, some deep singing, head nodding drums and the upmost feel good factor. It's a very appropriate final track.
This is a great collection of tracks, which a mixture of listeners will be able to enjoy. If you're more into your vocal based stuff, you've got the likes of Skinnyman and Blade on there. If you like to chill out from the words once in a while, you've got some extremely high class instrumentals. Fancy a mixture of the two, and you have the Kille Kela track to combine voice and beat. Go get this, and whilst you're at it- pick up a DJ First Rate action figure that's pictured on the artwork too.

Hello, all.
I'm excited to share a neat online volunteer opportunity and educational resource. In January the BBC reported on the digitization of British World War I diaries from the collection of the National Archives (UK). About 25 volunteers scanned hundreds and hundreds of boxes of diaries from military units, and today these are part of Operation War Diary. Operation War Diary allows "citizen historians" or public volunteers, access to these diaries in an effort to catalogue and gain intellectual control of the documents. The website is the result of a partnership between the National Archives, the Imperial War Museums (London), and Zooniverse – a tech savvy web forum to allow for active scientific research by the public.
Through a user-friendly website volunteers can systemically go through and "tag" diary pages for information such as date, location, person, military life, etc. Multiple readers go through each document, the website stresses, so users do not need to feel pressured about exacting 100 % of the information or making a permanent and irreversible error. There's a brief tutorial on how to "tag," and users must register an account on the site. Operation War Diary outlines its project outcomes as the following:
- to enrich The National Archives' catalogue descriptions for the unit war diaries
- to provide evidence about the experience of named individuals in Imperial War Museums' Lives of the First World War project (another exciting endeavor to help mark the centennial remembrance of the Great War)
- to present academics with large amounts of accurate data to help them gain a better understanding of how the war was fought
I've registered and volunteered my time on three separate occasions so far, and I find it engaging and interesting. One thing I should point out is that these are military unit war diaries – so not personal diaries of soldiers. Handwriting is tricky at times, but the pixilation on the scans is very strong, so feel free to use the zoom feature liberally. Another thing I found especially accessible about the project so far is the fact that, again, the website lets you know that no single user is having a final say on specific diary pages. Multiple readers will go through and review each document, so there is a check and balances system in place to ensure accuracy. Finally, there appears to be no minimum requirement of time (i.e. 10 hrs/week), so this is flexible project for both time and energy.
It's free, easy, and will help historians and the public alike utilize historical documents. Win, win, & win!
For even more information, check out Zooniverse's blog on the project, which boasts updated stats on users, the data, and additional project goals.

Absolutely gorgeous Simone Carvalli Gown. This dress is lovely on the rack and even more beautiful when worn. It hugs curves in the right way and really emphasizes an hourglass figure while retaining a slight A-line – a very classic and beautiful look. It is NOT a mermaid dress but gives that same hourglass impression. It is not too heavy and very comfortable to wear for hours.
I absolutely LOVE the gown, but it deserves to grace another bride – it is too lovely to sit in a box in storage!
The gown has absolutely no rips or tears, it does have one very light, small stain on lower length that could possibly be removed with another cleaning attempt. It is only noticeable because I inspected it extremely closely and I highly doubt it would be noticed when being worn.
This gown was altered to fit me - my measurements are 35-25-35 - it was made slightly smaller when altered than when originally purchased. Some of the tulle was removed from the train to make the train less "poofy" and therefore more elegant a silhouette.
Dress was professionally cleaned and has been stored in a non-smoking, temperature and light-controlled storage area since my wedding day.

One of Indonesia's leading contemporary dance groups, Nan Jombang, is visiting D.C. as part of the State Department's new Center Stage exchange program, which welcomes ensembles from developing countries to boost cross-cultural understanding. Ahead of performances this weekend and Monday, Rachel Cooper, director for global performing arts at the Asia Society and an adviser for the initiative, discussed the troupe.
Is Nan Jombang contemporary in the Western sense?
We're not talking about a Martha Graham version [of dance]. A vital contemporary dance culture has been part of Indonesia since the 1950s; it's connected to the rest of the world but is its own thing.
Where does Ery Mefri [Nan Jombang's founder/artistic director] get his ideas?
One key component is the martial art pencak, which is quite beautiful, and also randai, a theater form. But Ery Mefri is pushing the envelope in ways we here might not fully appreciate.
What's the piece he'll be showing this weekend, "Rantau Berbisik (Whisperings of Exile)," about?
In West Sumatra [where Nan Jombang is from], men leave their village to make their way in the world and later return. Sometimes people don't come back, and the piece is about how important it is that they do return. Ery is really committed to his culture. He is not someone who left.

War At Sea : A Naval Atlas 1939-45
In the vast literature of the Second World War there has never been a naval atlas showing graphically the complexities of the war at sea, a war which spread across every ocean. This new book will fill the gap.With more than 200 beautifully-designed maps and charts, the atlas sets out to visualise the great campaigns and major battles as well as the smaller operations, amphibious landings, convoys, sieges, skirmishes and sinkings. While whole sections are given over to the Pacific war, the battle of the Atlantic and the campaigns in the Mediterranean, smaller but crucial events such as the landings at Dieppe receive in-depth treatment.
The maps depict the dynamics of campaigns and battles but also include extensive information on the opposing forces, their ships and equipment and the strategic significance of events. General thematic maps, for instance, on ship losses, aerial strengths or convoy routes, give the reader an understanding of the many contributing factors that shaped the tactics and strategies of the Allied and Axis forces.No other work has attempted such an ambitious coverage of the war at sea in this period and it is destined to become a definitive reference work for naval enthusiasts and historians as well as general readers fascinated by the naval war that extended from the coldest arctic seas to the tropical islands of the Pacific.

My wife and I had moved our things ourselves out of a three bedroom semi and put all our things in storage as we were relocating. We couldn't face moving everything again, so hired Removals Expert due to the feedback on this site. Their feedback is well and truly earned – they were fantastic, from arriving earlier than expected to ensuring they got everything done in one load, being honest about saving us money.
Great movers, cannot be beaten on customer service. Very reliable and careful. They do what they say. Very highly recommended.
Great job. Two guys came round at 8am and powered through all the moving. Took down and put up bed and table with no problems. We also got all the packing material in advance. Also took away unwanted sofa. All for a very good price. Highly recommended – no thrills, gets job done.
Professional, courteous, polite, efficient, careful, speedy and friendly. Anyone who has moved will know how stressful it can be. Communication was great throughout, from getting a quote to the end of the big day. To top it off They were incredibly reasonably priced.

Shays' campaign chief under investigation
A federal grand jury investigating the disappearance of as much as $300,000 from U.S. Rep.
Sources with knowledge of the probe said it centers on Sohn's control of campaign funds used to pay vendors and campaign staff.
Several Connecticut Republicans, none of whom wanted to be identified by name, believe Sohn may have used Shays' re-election funds to gamble.
In fact, the investigation could include at least one withdrawal from an automatic teller machine at one of Connecticut's casinos.
Shays' campaign has hired a forensic accountant to trace the disbursement of the money that disappeared and may have been embezzled from the congressman's recent unsuccessful re-election campaign.
Both the Federal Elections Commission and the U.S. Attorney's Office declined comment Friday. But knowlegable sources said a grand jury has been empaneled in U.S. District Court in New Haven and Sohn has been subpoenaed to testify.
Shays is not commenting, but friends say the veteran Republican congressman is distraught about the possibility his campaign manager, a seven-year employee, may have taken the money over a period of about two years.
Sohn, who left Dec. 4 for a delayed honeymoon to the Himalayan country of Bhutan, isn't due back until Dec. 26 and did not return a request for comment Friday.
Sohn turned his computer over to federal investigators before flying to Asia with his wife, Amy Renaud of Monroe, a Columbia University graduate student. They married June 1 but postponed the trip during Shays' tough re-election campaign.
Before the wedding, Sohn and a group of friends flew to Las Vegas for a three-day bachelor party.
And Bhutan, a monarchy of about 2.3 million people nestled in high mountains between India and China, is an international destination for gambling.
Sohn's sister, Brittany, when reached by telephone at their father's Fairfield home Friday, said the honeymoon was a gift from his new brother-in-law.
"We tried reaching him, but the cell phones aren't working," she said of Sohn. "There's no service there."
She said she was "astonished" to read newspaper reports that her brother was the target of an investigation into the misappropriation of funds.
"I really don't believe any of it," she said. "My brother was the face of the campaign and, of course, he's the first one that they would look at" in this type of incident.
She said her brother doesn't have a gambling problem.
"Maybe he's been to the (Foxwoods and Mohegan Sun) casinos once or twice, but always for fun," she said. "He's not a gambler, not a big gambler."
Sohn is a 1992 graduate of Fairfield High School and a 1998 graduate of Fairfield University . He began working for Shays on Jan. 1, 2001, and earned a trusted place in the congressman's inner circle.
Last week Shays' re-election campaign committee filed its post-election report with the FEC, indicating funds may have been misused.
A source close to the case who asked not to be identified said Shays' campaign has hired a forensic accountant to "go over the campaign payments and collections." In all, Shays raised about $3.69 million.
As campaign manager, Sohn was the highest paid staffer, earning $111,161 from 2007-08. He was also director of U.S. Sen. John McCain 's presidential campaign in Connecticut, and in 2001 worked on Fairfield First Selectman John Metsopoulos's failed re-election bid.
The source said Peter S. Jongbloe , New Haven assistant U.S. attorney, has been assigned to the case. The New Haven FBI is handling the investigation.
Michael Fox , Shays' spokesman, said Friday he had no comment on any law enforcement activity.

Question: We have not been able to keep paint on the lower parts of our stucco exterior walls. It sloughs off sometimes as much as one-half-inch deep into the stucco. I have used "dry lock," sealer, plaster and paint, but nothing works. Do you have a solution to this problem?
Answer: Without looking at the wall, it's difficult to diagnose it. You live on the Palos Verdes Peninsula, so moisture could be the cause. I would be willing to bet, though, that the moisture is coming from the inside out. This is usually the case when paint refuses to stick to anything, including stucco. Stucco should be repaired in three coats, just as new stucco is applied: The scratch coat (the first one); the brown or second coat and the color, finish or third coat. This is true for all kinds of walls, including stucco over concrete blocks, a common finish in Florida.
You've got to get down to the lath for a permanent repair, but I wouldn't advise doing this kind of work yourself. Many of the stucco walls I see are too close to the ground, so moisture from sprinklers, rain runoff, etc. can seep inside the stucco. Contrary to popular belief, stucco is a very porous material, so some water can infiltrate the color coat. Any suggestions from readers who've had similar problems? I guess we're lucky at our house; we haven't had this problem.

I am continuing to feel overwhelmed by all that I am learning about who God is and how wretched of a sinner I am. God is so gracious to be revealing things to me in my life slowly but surely, rather than just turning a barrel upside down and drowning me in my sinfulness and ugliness. He shows me bits and pieces here and there, and as soon as I feel like I have grown in that area, I realize I have a long way to go. But Christ has not given up on me, and I know he will not ever. As my mom likes to quote Pastor James MacDonald, I am "not perfect but increasing." Well, I certainly hope I am increasing! :) And we will never attain perfection this side of heaven. So long as we are growing...
In the midst of so much uncertainty in life, I am amazed right now to feel washed over in a great peace. I know none of us knows what tomorrow holds, and it seems like the world gets to be a scarier place each day, but I can feel the Lord again gently leading me to peace in him. He has continued to reveal to me where I find my security, and if it's not in him, then it is sin. And although life was never promised to be easy and we all certainly are going to experience trials and grief, our peace in life and in these struggles comes from knowing who God is, what he can do, and that all things are for his glory. So while I do struggle and confess these things to the Lord, he is showing me continually that my security in this life is to be in him, not in anything else. And when I am really trusting in God, I feel peace in these times. Of course I am a sinner and struggle with this daily, so unfortunately, this peace is not always constant. "Not perfect but increasing"
And the topic of predestination has been on the forefront of my mind lately too, in thanks partly to the study of Ephesians. Kevin was chatting about it the other day, too. And it reminds me of middle school where I seriously cried over it. My parents only received three phone calls at home from teachers in my 13 years of school before college, and one was from Mr. Dirkse in 7th grade. I was quite distraught over several things in Bible class, and I left in tears. Anyway, one thing I really wrestled with was the idea of predestination and how God could choose some and not others. And how can I have free will to choose if I was already chosen? How can God be sovereign and I still have a choice? Why didn't he choose everybody? I thought he didn't want any to perish! Oh, the agony I went through in trying to make sense of it all, and now, almost 20 years later, I still don't understand it. :) What I do know is that God does predestine us, that he chose us before the creation of the world from his own will and pleasure, not based on anything human. I also know that we have a choice to love God with all of our heart or to reject him. How those two work together, well, I just don't know. And at some point in time, I decided that somehow it works and that I just don't understand how. Then I left it at that. I felt like it was my cop out answer, but I really couldn't get my mind to wrap around this idea.
Skip ahead to a few months ago listening to several John MacArthur sermons on Ephesians:
"The doctrine of election is a doctrine that is hard to be understood. And we must remember Deuteronomy 29:29 - 'The secret things belong to the Lord.' And Isaiah says - 'That His ways are higher than our ways.' We have to rest in that. Because we're not going to be able to understand this."
Oh, so much more on this topic of course, but we are not meant to be able to understand this. So maybe my answer of not being able to understand is not a cop out! Anyway, I still cannot explain it, and I still don't know how to explain it to others, especially those who are not believers. But this is where I have to rest in God's sovereignty and in knowing that he knows. His ways are higher than mine. And his ways are perfect.
My ways are certainly not perfect, nor is my understanding. And my life is far from perfect. "Not perfect but increasing." :) To God be all glory for any growth and for everything!

This story was on the way back from Niigata early spring this year. Karl Bengs is a German architect who first visited Japan in 1966. He buys old Japanese farmhouses, dismantles them then rebuilds them in his own distinctive style and with all mod cons (like proper insulation and heating).
This photo was taken in his office. The Buddhist statue in the background was bought in a Tokyo antiques shop 20 years ago. I want one of those for my office too!
Bengs lives in one of the most beautiful places I've ever visited in Japan (Tokamachi). Even in early spring when the snow was uncovering the dead grass it looked enchanting. This is one of Bengs' 40 or so houses. Most are in the village where he lives. I have to go back there in the winter or when the rice is green.
The houses are a similar-ish price to brand new modern houses, Bengs told me, and the land up in the mountains is almost free.
Inside the thatched roof.
Another picture in the office. Nice moody warm lighting. I think I used the flash on camera with a tungsten filter.
Bengs is 187cm tall so he brought the farmhouse floor down 10cm when he rebuilt it.
Dear Mr. Bengs,
I have lived and worked in Tokyo for a while and am planning to stay on for a few years to come. I would be interested in living in a re-constructed Japanese house.
Would it be possible to discuss this with you?
Marion Tijsseling
Marion Pennink
I have been trying to find you & Burchard for the last 8 years. Please follow the email@example.com address. If you consider moving to one of Bengs's houses, you should definitely let me know. I am planning a trip back to Tokyo soon.
All the best, Marshall
And thank you Tony McNicol – excellent shots

|Holland's Hexagon
The first half of the assignment is a series of self-assessment tests. The first test is the Holland Code Quiz. We had to take two different quizzes from two separate sites. For those like me who flunked out of Intro to Psychology, here's a brief description:
John Holland made it his life's work to look at people and work environments and come up with a classification system that described 1) individual differences and similarities, and 2) a classification of work environments to describe and explain differences and similarities among positions and occupations.
How closely do you resemble these theoretical personality types? Distinctive preferences, outlooks, competencies, and self-perceptions characterize each type. See the chart on the next page for descriptions of each type.
Each personality type has a parallel Work Environment. If you think a personality type (partially) describes you, it might also be helpful to look at the environment description. IF you think a personality description (partially)fits you, then you might look for the corresponding work environment. You can also go to the Web sites cited below for descriptions, exercises, and information about college majors and careers that correspond with particular personality type.
Jung Typology Test.
Carl Jung was a Swiss psychiatrist who believed that various personalities had different ways to perceive the world. He hypothesized that there were three important channels through which people experienced the world and that for each channel their was two ways that a person could you this channel. These three dichotomies were; Introversion-Extroversion, Sensing-Intuition and Thinking-Feeling. He published a book on the subject in 1921.
During World War II, Katharine Cook Briggs and her daughter, Isabel Briggs Myers began working on a system which they hoped would help women find the right jobs for them. They based their system on Jung's theory of personality types and added another dimension, the Judging-Perception dichotomy.
"My results indicated that I am a ISFJ (Introverted, Sensing, Feeling and Judging) The first letter, I (Introverted) indicates that I like to do things alone or with one or two close friends. I tend to draw my strength from the pictures, memories and ideas inside my head. Sometimes trapping myself in my own little world and forgetting to interact with the outside world. The second letter, S (Sensing) indicates that I am more concerned with actual facts. That is, what I can see, hear and touch rather than relying of faith. I remember details that are important to me, like pictures in my mind. I learn by hands on experience and working out problems, step by step. My third letter, F (Feeling) indicates that I take careful consideration for the feelings and wishes of others. I am considered to be very caring and tactful. I prefer there to be little to no conflict and will do whatever I can to bring harmony to all. My fourth and final letter is J (Judging) and indicates that I like a structured life. I prefer having decisions made for me. I work well with check lists and prefer completing tasks in an organized, timely manner.
From what I've gathered, ISJF types tend to be quiet, friendly, responsible, and conscientious. They live to serve others and rarely ask for anything in return. They take any task very seriously and strive to be painstakingly perfect. They are very loyal and considerate of others, remembering the smallest specifics about people close to them. They are very well organized in both home and work, following specific guidelines and checklists. Their drawbacks, they tend to shy away from decision making and rely on others for guidance. They dislike confrontation and are quick to run from it. They are not good at articulating any distress and tend to be mistaken for "sulking". They tend to see only the facts and don't allow room for "what could be". Overall I found this assessment to be fairly accurate. I do see myself as being very standoffish. I am not one to take action and I tend to hide from tough decisions. However I am very protective of my family and will go to any lengths for any one of my children. I am very detail oriented, needing everything to be done precisely my way. I run by the motto, "If you want something done right, do it yourself." However, in doing everything myself, I tend to feel overworked and underappreciated. Given what has been said, I would fit well in the secretarial, executive assistant and interior design fields." -Clip from part of my report.
Now that I have been labeled as a co-dependent control freak, I feel so much better about myself. The second part of the assignment was to pick a series of careers that would fit well with my personality and values. We had to take a Work Importance Profiler. This would give us a list of the best career options based on our personality, values, skills and interests. Of course after taking the assessment, it spits out a list of suggestions based on my test results. We are to pick 3-4 from this list thet might interest us. The first list suggested careers in the Arts, like Interior Design, Writer/Author and Photographer. Those are all things I love or would consider doing. However the second list suggested careers in Engineering, Teaching and the Health Industry. Other than homeschooling my our children, I would not have the patience to teach other children. I am completely grossed out by the health care industry and I am by no means smart enough in Math to be an Engineer.
The last part of the assignment was a Career Reality Check Assessment. We had to type in all our bills and miscellaneous expenses. Then it adds on taxes and tells you how much all of it will cost annually. It tells you how much you need to make to pay for all your expenses and gives a list of career options in your interest area. If nothing pays that amount, than you either need to cut spending or find a new career that pays more. Of course my career choices were no where near the amount of money we need to make annually, but fortunately, Sean's job does. All in all, this was a long and stressful assignment that I am thankful is finished. I hope to never have to do it again. Poor Sean has yet to start his......hahahahaha.

John thought he should become a public speaker.
He attended a class to learn all about it.
Armapple Communications was giving the seminar.
John walked away confused.
He said the tenet of the class included the following ideas:
- Pursue your dreams.
- Write a seminar.
- Learn to use the same slide deck over and over.
Speak about anything you want using the same slide deck.
I thought about this for a while. It has profound implications.

By Darryl Mason
A columnist for The Australian newspaper - the supposedly "balanced" and "not biased at all" flagship of the Australian Murdoch media empire - has been outed as not only a rabid supporter of prime minister John Howard, but also one that lets the prime minister know, days in advance, when she is writing an op-ed that may reflect badly on him.
Who's doing what now?
Yes. Janet Albrechtsen, a columnist for The Australian, rang John Howard's office before she had even written her column about why it was time for him to step down, to let him know what she was planning to write.
She called other ministers as well, allowing them the opportunity to try and talk her out of writing the 'Howard Must Go' column that supposedly "rocked the Howard government" when it appeared in The Australian on September 7.
How do we know all this? Because it's right there in the pages of The Australian newspaper today :
Albrechtsen is an unashamed and long-term Howard supporter who decided to write a special column for Friday's newspaper urging Howard to go.
On Wednesday and Thursday the columnist - a strong supporter of Turnbull, and whose husband, John O'Sullivan, campaigns for the Environment Minister in his Sydney electorate of Wentworth - told Turnbull, as well as Tony Abbott, Nick Minchin and Downer, of her plans.
She also told the Prime Minister's office. She said yesterday she talked to the ministers "as a courtesy".
Turnbull says he urged her not to write it, as did Abbott and Howard's office.
Any sliver of credibility that Janet Albrechtsen may have had is now completely gone.
She's not an independent columnist, with scant regard for the impact of her opinion, as a truly fearless and uncompromising columnist must be. She is a propaganda outlet for John Howard, and has been a key player in the current game of "Howard Must Quit"/"Howard Must Stay" that has dominated political media coverage for the past eight days. The Game that is meant to show just how tough and resilient Howard can be, and how ready he is for the Big Fight in the coming election. And it all took place just when Howard needed it the most, when he is absolutely tanking in the polls.
You can see it all for yourself in Albrechtsen's original 'Howard Must Go' column, that was supposed to have earthquaked the Howard government. We know now it did nothing of the sort. They all knew it was coming. Not only did they know it was coming, they knew what the column was going to be about before she had even finished writing it.
In the column, Albrechtsen first devotes hundreds of words to reminding readers just how brilliant a prime minister John Howard has been, and how we'd all be eating dirt and back on chain gangs cracking sandstone slabs if he hadn't graced us with his leadership.
She immediately follows all this with one of the most gag-inducing paragraphs I've seen in any newspaper all year :
Under Howard it became cool to be a conservative. He rebuilt a political philosophy of individual responsibility for a new generation. His legacy is profound...Bring me another bucket.
When she supposedly unleashed on Howard, it was with a feather :
But now he must go. The Howard factor is there. Where once it meant success, now it presages defeat.Hmm, tell us something we don't know, Janet.
Do you ever get the feeling that you're being conned?
Of course, Albrechtsen's column came at a very opportune time for The Australian newspaper as well.
Murdoch's national broadsheet is widely mocked and ridiculed across the Australian media, the public and within political circles for being the 'Government Gazette'. There was a joke that went around last year for a few days : Why don't you ever see John Howard reading The Australian newspaper? Because he already knows what it will say about him.
Albrechtsen has proved the joke is actually reality.
Her column advising Howard to pack it in and hand over the leadership to Peter Costello was seen as proof that The Australian was not staffed by Howard-huggers and federal government propagandists.
And the timing was perfect. On the brink of an election, when The Australian most surely needs to regain its credibility and give the appearance of being unbiased, up pops Albrechtsen, the "unashamed...long-time Howard supporter", demanding he step aside. Well, not demanding. Suggesting he step aside would be more accurate.
But of course, we know now Albrechtsen didn't just write and publish this column, one of the few she's ever written that even dared to slightly criticise Howard. She actually got on the blower
and called the PM's office, before the column was published, to let Howard know what was coming. She called other ministers and gave them the opportunity to talk her out of it, or perhaps more importantly, convince her to tone it down.
Why would she do this?
Why would a columnist for a newspaper even contemplate doing such a thing, let alone making the calls?
Remember, Albrechtsen said herself in The Australian newspaper today that she called the prime minister, and at least two other Howard government ministers, "as a courtesy."
That is, she called to give them notice and to allow them all to fully prepare for the negative fallout that they knew would surely follow the column's appearance in The Australian, to craft their answers and reactions to media questions days in advance.
Albrechtsen didn't voice her opinion, boldly, honestly, and without regard for who may be offended by her thoughts, she actually tipped off the key players in the Howard government, and Howard himself, before she 'dared' to say it was time for him to go. Before she even typed the words.
Just remember what Janet did every time you see her column, or any column, in The Australian that is allegedly critical of the Howard government, or any of its key ministers.
You may well begin to wonder, as you probably should if Albrechtsen is any example to go by, 'Did they tell Howard what they were writing about?' 'Did they warn Alexander Downer they were going to criticise him today?' 'Did Howard government ministers try and talk this columnist out of writing this piece?' 'Was this column different before the columnist discussed what he/she had written with some Howard government minister?'
Janet Albrechtsen is utterly compromised, even when she is critical of John Howard, because she dwells in a compromised world where she cannot write nor say what she wants, when she wants, and to hell with the consequences.
So why does she get column space in the newspaper, and prominent positioning on The Australian's website?
Well, why do you think?

Last week I read an article about a study that indicates trees may actually sleep at night. Scientists have discovered that from about two hours after sunset to right before sunrise, a sample of trees studied drooped their branches and leaves about four inches in a posture of rest.
The researchers hypothesize that this droop is either caused by a loss of water pressure inside the trees due to the absence of photosynthesis at night (turgor pressure), or they speculate, trees may have a natural circadian rhythm—just as humans do. That means, the tree was designed to need rest.
Apparently, and this is something I've not given much thought to but it makes perfect sense, circadian rhythms in plant life are well documented and known. But until recently, we haven't had the technology to study a plant as large as a tree.
Why does it surprise me that science is discovering how much of creation has a built in need for rest? I read about the drooping trees at a time when I am struggling to find more rest in my life. This morning, to remind myself how I have managed this in the past, I re-read the chapter on Sabbath from my book Playdates with God. I thought I'd share a tiny portion of that chapter here—a gift reminder for me and for you.
I remember long afternoons under the shade of the apple tree—cooling our tongues with the juice of green apples, drifting in and out as the sun played chiaroscuro over eyelids. And I remember the scent of summer rain through open windows as my little brother and I lay whispering on my bed—waiting for our bodies and minds to drift into our afternoon nap.
As I gently touch these memories with the finger of my heart, a pit of longing wells up inside of me and I wonder, when did I forget the way the slowing down leads me into the arms of the Father?
My Jewish friends would not be surprised at this tender ache that pulses inside of me. "You are missing the keeping of Sabbath," one tells me. "Your life is too busy. How can you hear the voice of God amidst all that noise?" He believes this longing for rest is built deep into my spirit; he believes God put it there. Indeed, Judith Shulevitz in her book The Sabbath World, tells us, "[A]t the core of Sabbath lies an unassuageable longing…"
It is a longing, she goes on to say, for something that is unattainable. For, in this fallen world we live in exile—separated from a perfect union with God or with one another. Yet, in Sabbath-keeping we experience a foretaste of God's kingdom to come.
… And so I began to sit with the longing. I started small—Sabbath moments. With each setting sun I would gather a bit of the day together at its edges and be still. Light a candle, play some music, contemplate beauty, and meditate on the pure and lovely things in my life.
These moments took me back under the apple tree—looking up through the branches at the clouds moving slowly across the sky. And I felt the promise of new life; the hunger was sated for just those short moments.
The rabbis speak of the additional soul that is granted on the eve of the Sabbath—the neshamah yeterah. In his beautiful book The Sabbath, Abraham Joshua Heschel says, "Neshamah yeterah means additional spirit. It is usually translated 'additional soul'…Some thinkers took the term neshamah yeterah as a figurative expression for increased spirituality or ease and comfort. Others believed that an actual spiritual entity, a second soul, becomes embodied in man on the seventh day…"
This is a soul which is all perfection, he says, and when the Sabbath day is over, this soul ascends once again into the heavens from which it came.
I do not know about such things. But when I remember those Sabbath moments from my youth—and when I capture them now in this old skin—I am tempted to receive this rich lore into my heart. For, those moments are counted the sweetest in my mind and are perhaps the closest to perfection I will ever come.

Police arrested 43-year-old Michael Quinn following the collision June 28, and he was booked into jail on suspicion of DUI and leaving the scene of a collision, according to police.
Quinn was released from jail following his arrest, the Sheriff's Office said.
The collision occurred on a Saturday night about 11:30 p.m. at Fifth and Howard streets in South of Market. The motorcyclist suffered serious injuries, police said. Prosecutors did not immediately move forward with a case against Quinn, Assistant District Attorney Alex Bastian said.
But Quinn was indicted Monday on three felony counts, including driving under the influence of alcohol causing injury, driving with a blood alcohol content of .08 percent or higher causing injury, and driving a commercial motor vehicle with a blood alcohol content of .04 percent or higher causing injury, Bastian said.

As per available reports about 37 Relevant Journals, 32 Conferences, 13 Workshops are presently dedicated exclusively to ufasomes and about 159 articles are being published on ufasomes.
Unsaturated fatty acid vesicles (ufasomes) are the suspensions of closed lipid bilayers that are generated at specific pH. The formation of ufasomes is believed to occur due to associative interaction in mixtures of fully ionized and unionized fatty acids at pH>7.0. In ufasomes, fatty acid molecules are oriented in such a way that their hydrocarbon tails are directed toward the membrane interior and the carboxyl groups are in contact with water. Oleic and linoleic acids were used mostly. In biological membranes, the arrangement of lipid molecules exhibits dual role, that is, structural and functional: structural part as they provide matrix for membrane proteins and a functional one, in which they act as a barrier to the free flow of solutes. Stability of ufasomes depends on proper selection of fatty acid, amount of cholesterol, buffer, pH range, amount of lipoxygenase, and the presence of divalent cations.
OMICS International Organizes 1000+ Global Events Every Year across USA, Europe & Asia with support from 1000 more scientific societies and Publishes 700+ Open access journals which contains over 100000 eminent personalities, reputed scientists as editorial board and organizing committee members. The conference series website will provide you list and details about the conference organize worldwide.
Scope and Importance:
Recent innovations can provide opportunity to formulate ufasomes with tailorable features such as extension of pH range, insensitivity toward divalent cations, and enhancement of stability. But, ufasomes have a less regular structure than conventional liposomes. Ufasomes have potential as carriers for the oral administration of poorly absorbable drugs as well as for the horizontal transfer of genes from plants.
Ufasomes are used to improve the new drug molecules by encapsulating an active medicament inside vesicular structure in one such system. It prolongs the existence of the drug in systemic circulation and finally reduces the toxicity. Such different systems are widely used in gene delivery, tumor targeting to brain, oral formulations, in stability and permeability problems of drugs. In this review we really focused on different aspects of vesicular system in terms of its advantages, limitation, applications and different marketed product of vesicular system as novel drug delivery.
Fatty acid vesicles are colloidal suspensions of closed lipid bilayers that are composed of fatty acids and their ionized species (soap). They are observed in a small region within the fatty acid-soap-water ternary phase diagram above the chain melting temperature (Tm) of the corresponding fatty acid-soap mixture. Fatty acid vesicles always contain two types of amphiphiles, the nonionized neutral form and the ionized form (the negatively charged soap). The ratio of nonionized neutral form and the ionized form is critical for the vesicle stability. Fatty acid vesicles are actually mixed "fatty acid/soap vesicles," but for the sake of simplicity, we just call them fatty acid vesicles.
The formation of fatty acid vesicles was first reported by Gebicki and Hicks in 1973 and the vesicles formed were initially named "ufasomes," "unsaturated fatty acid liposomes." Later investigations have shown that fatty acid vesicles form not only from unsaturated fatty acids such as oleic acid, linoleic acid, but also from saturated fatty acid such as octanoic acid and decanoic acid. In liposome formulation, phospholipids are generally used. However, even natural phospholipids are chemically heterogeneous, and pure synthetic phospholipids are not yet available in reasonable quantities. The advantage of ufasomes over liposomes is the ready availability of fatty acids.
Market Analysis:
The global market for ufasomes was valued at $243.7 million in 2013 and is expected to increase to $305.3 million in 2014, and further to $2.7 billion by 2019, a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 54.8% over the five-year period from 2014 through 2019.

text: hey gang, are there any products that mirror the SP 500 and/or the Dow Jones index intraday? for example, right now if i want to buy into the DOW index, i would have to buy all of the stocks that make it up, in the right proportion, etc... instead, is there one publicly traded product that already lumps everything together? ( so it's constantly valued at the same percentage up/down that the index is? ) with this i could just buy that one product. ( also, i'm talking about very quick , daytrading moves, so i don't think index mutual funds would be appropriate , unless they are day tradeable ) thanks in advance, sorry if this is a lame, n00b question... scorinaldi
