So after an AWESOME tai chi lesson yesterday that actually made me realise just how pathetic my ankles are (we did something called a "Tai-chi walk" which had a lot of swivelling and lunging and then swivelling the other way) and how I've picked up bad habits already, I woke up not feeling the whole Pilates thing this morning. On the plus side besides my original four different Tai chi steps, I can totally turn corners now!
So anyway, I managed to force myself out of my lovely warm blanket-cocoon and dragged myself off to the 8m pilates class. It's cold at 8 in the morning, so we get to wear our socks instead of being barefoot! Last week the instructor told us to wear more interesting socks - my lumo-giraffe socks weren't even close to the coolness of his retina-blasting yellow and red toe socks.
So today we lined up in our stripy or polka-dot socks and got started. I love the instructor. Seriously, if I could compress him down to an mp3 and have him on my ipod, the world's depression problem would vanish! Besides being a walking ken-doll with every muscle imaginable around a waistline that's about as wide as of one of my socks, he's also incredibly INCREDIBLY camp and he likes to have 'girl talks' with us.
It makes clenching your stomach muscles while throwing your arms and legs around incredibly difficult when you find him amusing. The others don't seem to have a problem, and I've been able to hide my giggling enough that he thinks I have no core muscles and therefore no sense of balance, when actually I'm just falling over from laughing too hard!
For instance he started off this morning by telling us about the gelling agents used in ice-cream and how they are also used in the manufacture of rubber. And there I was thinking they used algae in ice-cream and rubber came from trees. Either way before I could get confused he pointed to his stomach and said "So if you have a spare-tyre..." And I fell over.
Later someone was struggling and he went to her and said:
"do you feel like you want to kotch**?" she nodded, trying to maintain her position, and he continued:
"You see ladies, if you eat your nice bowl on jungle oats before pilates you're going to be bloated. Jungle oats is such a good breakfast, lots of slow release energy. Yip it tastes like snot, but it's so good for you. But then it sits there and you can't use the muscles because you're just squishing the snot around."
The lady who had been struggling started turning kind of green. I had given up and I was sitting on my mat refusing to make eye contact with anyone.
One of the 'teacher's pet' types chirped up with "but then what do we eat?"
"you eat that snotty jungle oats! No ladies, I don't want to know what you had for breakfast, sardines on toast... yes that's high in protein! Do we have to discuss the difference between carbs and protein again?" (he did, but I won't go into detail because there;s no way I can do any kind of justice to a muscled-up ex-gymnast in a shiny yellow singlet acting out farming).
Teachers pet started again with "but that means we must eat our breakfast at six in the morning?"
"Yes Tracey, you eat at six, or you don't eat and you have breakfast an hour after you exercise. Eat a banana, do you like green-yellow or yellow-yellow bananas?" we all mumbled something to show that we were listening while Tracey sat up straight and said "Yellow-yellow!"
"Oh dear Tracey! You're on the way for a fat attack!"
Anyway after an hour of complete entertainment Ken-doll broke the news that he's leaving to become 'cabin-crew' for an airline. So sad!
And now I have to start teaching on Wednesday mornings so I'll have to find a different pilates class to go to. Sad times!
*** kotch is a delightful term for vomit

I had the chance to use this on several clients on Friday and I really like it. I tried very hard to jump on the mineral foundation bandwagon a few years ago; I know that so many people adore bare escentials but I just couldn't hang with how cakey, flat, and dry it looked. Plus the makeup artist who sold it to me recommended using it under the eyes as concealer. Good idea, if your goal is to add ten years to your face.
I used Laura's foundation primer under this, let it dry completely, and then buffed the powder in with their new finishing brush. This product has a luminosity that I really didn't expect, and very good coverage. I would never use it for wedding makeup, but for a super quick"mommy face"; sure.Especially for someone super oily. I recently read an article in Allure that debunks the whole notion of mineral makeups being more beneficial for your skin, which makes sense. Usually if something seems too good to be true, then you have your answer.
Being a huge fan of a dewy look, I would probably recommend Laura's tinted moisturizer over this product, but there are still some matte lovers out there who would really dig this.
Mercier also has some new plumping lip glosses that look and feel wonderful; again, being one of the thinnest lipped people on the planet, I am dubious as to whether plumpers actually work, but I am addicted to the tingly sensation they give.
I will be working a national Artist Event for Laura Mercier downtown at Saks on Friday May 11th-if you are interested in trying out their products, call 513 421 6800 x366 to reserve an appointment.(I worked for Mercier for over eight years and still about 90% of my kit is her stuff; love it and her!)

1. I believe that changing jobs in your 1st 3 years of your career is good for your career.
- New projects / work
- Chance of learning more
- Chance of working with big companies
- Better Salary (Its important.. but not always..)
2. After working for 3 yrs till now you come to know which domain/field you want to take your career, for example I thought of moving from software developer field to Marketing/Sales well its all depends on your strengths and interest in field you want to be.
3. And now after working for 6 or more years, now you should try to look into more challenging job and start looking yourself at middle level management along with good package.
4. Now once you have experience of 9+ years of experience you should try to move from job when you get top management level offer where you can add value to organization from your past experiences.

|Alert Leopard on a boulder in Bera
Trying to sight a Leopard (Panthera Pardus) in a jungle is perhaps no different than trying to find a needle in a haystack. On the many trips to the jungles of India, with some patience and luck, one can have excellent sightings of tigers, lions, even the shy sloth bear, and other mammals. But the leopard is an elusive beast. It can hide itself in any nook & cranny of the jungle, is smaller than the other carnivores, enjoys excellent camouflage, prefers hunting in the night, and with its acrobatic skills can perch itself on trees and boulders. Even if sightings occur, they are more in the nature of blink and you miss it. Though, we have heard stories of people seeing a leopard, sitting nonchalantly in plain view of the human eye, in the jungles of South India, such reports have been fewer from those of North India.
Despite several trips in the wild, we had thus far been unlucky in the matter of leopard sighting. The closest we ever came to sighting it was when we spotted a leopard's kill but, not the perpetrator himself!
No longer wanting to leave things to a chance, we decided to take matters in our own hands and headed straight to Bera, a dusty village in southern Rajasthan amidst the Aravalli mountains and surrounded by water bodies. Here our abode was Thakur Devi Singhji's orchard or rather the Leopard's Lair Resort as it is officially called.

How to survive mt.sawi
Its my second time climbing and my third mountain (coz my first time is a twin-hike, not recommended for begginers! Although keri boom boom lang kung kaya mo hahahaha) that leave me not being an expert but here is what I can say based on what I experience in Mt. Sawi or Mt.Bigti.
According to myths there is one beautiful girl who loves to play in a river (Dupinga River) and climb the mountain when one day she saw this man- tired, no energy and almost look like a zombie (dude don't pop up like that its scary kakatapos lang manuod ng train to busan oh). So she help him nada nada nada you know how this will end right they kinda like each other okay kindly insert some romance here but.. Here's the but since the boy is not from there he needs to go home and promise the girl that he will come back (promise pa more!!) but.. Okay another but theres a lot of but.. Days and nights passed by the girl was still waiting until some news reaches her ears that the boy will be marrying another girl from its hometown (san nangaling ang balita girl? Di ko din alam bes basta yun yung kwento) and then she decided to hang herself in the mountain (straight forward na its been forever bes e!) not in the mountain I mean the tree in the mountain so that is why its called Mt.Sawi or Mt.Bigti.. But i higlhy recommend not to do the suicide thing coz the tree doesn't have branches to hold you.. So just stay home!!
Location: Gabaldon, Nueva Ecija
Elev: 594 MASL
Hours: 1 1/2 hours (daw!! Weh friend yung totoo)
Phone signal: 👍🏻
Wala akong nakitang hayop o kung ano sa hike namin, but the grass was so tall kaya stick to your groups kasi nakakaligaw yung ibang trail (friend akala mo yun na hindi pa pala) we've been lost two times only to hear the whistle of our tour guide and saying we are in wrong direction.. Gagayahin ko yung sabi sa isang blog one word to describe Mt.Sawi is pure ASSAULT as in A-S-S-A-U-L-T, walang patag your feet will always be in 45 degree angle if not 30 degree more or less so grab your hiking shoes (yung kumakapit friend at hindi madaling malaglag) Madalang din ang puno so grab some spf lotion kung direct kayo sa araw (yan nalang puhunan bes ingatan) and nakakahiwa talaga ang mga talahib hindi mo man nararamdaman unti unti mararamdaman mo lalo na pag may side trip kayo sa dinangalan (batanes of the east) at natalsikan ka ng tubig alat (aray ko bes!! Kala ko hindi ako nasasaktan pero masakit pala).. Nakakasuko din sya kasi nga pure assault pero pag tumingin ka sa view ay nako bongga friend.. Pero wag masyado kasi baka mahulog ka! Hahahahaha..
So thats all i hope you learn something be sure to check our tour guides page they were A as in Awesome and become the member of the squad!!

Its been awhile
Don't think twice.
I have loved and I have lost. Still hurts, not as much but I feel it will always feel a little sore, but more recently I have finally felt the ability to love again. I don't know, writing that just scared the shit out of me. What to do? What should I do? I am so confused; I don't want to feel like I am wasting my precious time. I hate that feeling. I am over dealing with meaning less relationships and fake ass people. I am currently seeing the guy I have been obsessed with over the past 5 years, yes I finally grew the balls that I wished I would have had 5 years ago but I am a firm believer that everything happens for a reason, or ad least it should. But, I am not 100% sure how it is going to go, so far its good. It has been a wee bit over a month and we still haven't done anything but kiss, and trust me I love kissing him, but I am getting anxious and am starting to wonder if the reason why is because he doesn't want to go there knowing that it isn't going to last or does he really respect me and want it to be special? I don't know, I was thinking yesterday in conversations with Carl that it sounds from a guys point of view that he does like me, as a matter of fact he must really like me because e at that very moment Carl realized that he has never thought like that towards a girl, all he would think about is getting in there pants. But not Paul, he is taking it slow and I don't know how to take that? It's so weird, I have a hard time expressing my feelings and how I am really feeling, and I get so choked up around him. He still after 5 years gives me that goofy grin and butterfly feeling in my tummy. I love that feeling, but will it ever stop? In a strange way I hope not but I feel like such a dork around him. I don't know what to say, I just want to hold him but I don't want to scare him. But, does that mean that by not holding him all the time that I am lacking on my obvious emotions? I don't even see him all that much which makes me wants to grab him when I do see him. I wish I can see him more but I understand the situation he is in where he works double shifts like every fucking day and then on the weekends he does random jobs. Swap meet, you know the "fun" jobs. We are not even girlfriend and boyfriend, we are dating, I hate that dammit! "Dating" I don't even think we have been able to go on a date so how the fuck are we dating? Whatever, least of my worries. I have meet his mom, sister, grandma and grandpa. He has taking me to his mom's and Aunts house, if you are just playing w/ someone and having fun would you really take them to your families house and introduce you as, "My Lady Holly" which is how I was introduced to the G-ma and G-pa which I am sorry that is fucking cute! I am so confused. He calls me Gorgeous, which is one of my favorite things he does. ;) He will surprise me sometimes with some of the stuff he says and does. I cant believe just by writing this I am convincing myself that I am freaking out over nothing. God, what the fuck is wrong with me?

|Raya in JB, 2011. See the cloud formation in the shape of love as if the universe concurs. Greatness is everywhere.
My love goes to all of you, Adeela, Amira and Ainina for all the birthday greetings.
As we are also celebrating Hari Raya (to celebrate our 'success' or 'victory' in reclaiming our freedom from 'nafsu') and also 'Hari Kemerdekaan' (to celebrate our 'success' and 'victory' in reclaiming our land from 'penjajah'), please allow Abah to write a 'lecture (can't help it. Just to remind, Abah is in fact a 'lecturer' by profession)'. Abah also shares this on fb for our networks of friends (to read, comment, correct, improve, refine).
My sweet little princesses, Adeela, Amira and Ainina. All of you have grown so fast. Every moment Abah looks at other things in life, Abah seems to miss something new about each of you. The three of you have blossomed into more than a beautiful girl. the three of you have been a 'gift and blessing' from Allah to Abah and Mama, way too precious beyond anything in this world. The three of you have been Abah's and Mama's 'miracles of life' to witness everyday for the past 12 to 19 years of our life.
It also seems like it was yesterday when Abah and Mama saw these cute little baby faces at the Troy Samaritan Hospital, New York, USA (Adeela) and Hospital Besar Kuching, Sarawak, Malaysia (Amira and Ainina).
For 'Adeela', you were named that way because your birth have shown Abah and Mama that Allah is "Yang Maha Adil". Your are the 'manifestation' (penzahiran) of that. No matter how 'unfair' our messy little world seems to be around us, ultimately, in a larger scheme of things, all is fair. Fairness (keadilan) appears when one submit to love, not demands and greed, or hates, envy and anger. Your birth has taught Abah and Mama that very important lesson.
Amira, you were named "ketua" (a leader) because your birth came when Abah was struggling to lead so many 'fronts' then. Your birth has given Abah (and Mama as well) the extra push to be steadfast in 'leading our life', and more importantly, leading our own mind and feeling to return to our 'fitrah', our true nature, and to dance with the Will of Allah.
'Ainina', we named you "mata kami" (our eyes) because your birth has allowed Abah and Mama 'to see' beyond the limitation of form (jasad). In other words, 'to see LOVE' (of Allah) revealed to Abah and Mama in a form of this beautiful baby (you). You are the 'eyes' of Hasnul Jamal and Rozana Mohamed, the revelation of our love, the witness of our compassion towards each other and towards Allah.
Each time, each of you were born, it was like the universe telling Abah and Mama, look! here is the precious gift direct from your Creator, specially delivered to both of you for investing in 'unconditional love'.
So you see, you have to know that each of you are very special (like everyone else in this world, even if they don't realize it).
How can you not be special. For each of you to be born, all the very inter-connected, inter-dependence, complex and intricate circumstances in the whole universe (which of course is extremely large) must 'conspire' (work together secretly) to make sure that a baby named Adeela, or Amira, or Ainina will be born. Can you imagine, THE WHOLE UNIVERSE had to work inter-dependently together (even if no one notice) so that ADEELA, AMIRA and AININA will exist! Very 'lasyat' isn't it?
That means, the whole universe is (and has been) inter-dependently a part of each of you, Abah and Mama! In fact, you are a beautiful part of all the stars, the galaxies, the supernovas, the constellations, the solar system, the planets, the earth, the sky, the clouds, the mountains, the rivers, the animals, the plants, the whole human race! We are all inter-connected and inter-dependent. All must 'conspire' (including all humans, even if they didn't realize it) to make sure that ADEELA, AMIRA and AININA will be born!
So my three sweet princesses, all of you (and everyone else actually, including Abah and Mama) are a part of this SUPREME GREATNESS! Let it be your 'tasbih' and 'tahmid', your permanent awareness (or in fancy terms - 'state of mind'/'). Of course, Abah would use the word, 'quantum field' (which simply refers to your mind and feeling, that unseen energy).
So, don't let anything or anyone take that 'greatness' away from you. Its your 'firewall'. Heck, its you!
Now, let Abah explain more by asking you this, what are the things or circumstances that needed to happen inter-dependently in order for you to be born? Obviously, so many, in fact countless. Moreover, all the inter-connected and inter-dependent circumstances and events must be super-duper perfect......your Mama and Abah had to be born, had to meet each other, had to fall in love, had to be 'IN LOVE' (Abah will explain to the three of you about what it means to 'BE IN LOVE' later), to get married and so on, so forth. That is so complex for any human being to handle.
Now, lets go a bit further back in time. For your Mama and Abah to be born, your Tok Mak, Tok Bah, Tok Wan and Tok Syeh had to be born and to meet, to fall in love with each other, to get married. Surely that needed super-duper planning. Needed to be perfect, no mistake at all, zero margin of error. Now lets go back much further. For all your grandparents to be born etc, your great grandparents had to be born, and so on, so forth. To cut things short, for your great great great grandparents to be born, human beings must be created and exist. Now, you know how complex human beings are, not to mention to create one! Anyway, for human beings to exist, earth must be created and exist. For the earth to exist, the solar system must be created. For the solar system to exist, the sun must be created. For the sun to exist, the universe must be created.
SO, THEREFORE, THE UNIVERSE HAD TO BE CREATED FOR ADEELA, AMIRA and AININA TO EXIST AND BECOME ITS 'WITNESSES'!
Isn't that 'Greatness'? We were all born out of greatness, it is already within us., not just for one day, but everyday, every moment, every second of our conscious life. That is how important you are. Well, that is how important all of us are. We just need to unveil it, instead of veiling (obscuring or closing) it. Most of the time, especially all around us today, we see humans 'veiling' their greatness, instead of 'unveiling' them.
For us to unveil this greatness, we need to reclaim our mind, to free it from being enslaved (dihambakan) by 'nafsu'. We need to free it from a 'bad and noisy manager' of mind/thinking (that only knows how to churn harmful thinking that feeds harmful feelings, that prompt harmful acts/behaviors).Instead of this bad manager, that 'silent witness' (or for some, the 'soul') must reclaim its place as the master of the mind. Only after we have managed to silent this bad manager of thinking (and feeling), that this silent witness can be stronger.
For the 'soul' to reclaim its place, we were taught by our 'Penghulu/Guru', Nabi Muhammad S.A.W to manage our mind (thus feeling), to channel it, to tune it, to synchronize it, to submit and return to our true nature (fitrah). Best annual period to do it is during the month of Ramadhan. It is through Ramadhan that we went through this regimented training (some call it a war with 'self') to restrain from 'negative thoughts' first, before anything else (everything begins with 'thought'). We detoxify, cleanse our mind and emotion from all forms of mental toxic and emotional poison. We return to a state of inter-connectivity and inter-dependence with the Will of Allah (clean like a baby). Only then, we can dance in synchrony and harmony with the cosmic energy, to elevate the soul and finally, to be a part of the much, much bigger, finer and subliminally beautiful whole.
In doing so, we pray that we may return to the One, the Giver and Origin of Love (everyday, every moment, every second). That is what Ramadhan, Hari Raya, Hari Kemerdekaan and Hari Lahir mean (at least to Abah and Mama, as what we have learned from our gurus, and our gurus from theirs up to Rasulullah S.A.W).

Tories would leave jobless workers behind
Posted on August 12, 2009 in Debates, Governance Debates, Social Security Debates
TheStar.com – Opinion – Tories would leave jobless workers behind
August 12, 2009. Mike Savage, LIBERAL MP FOR DARTMOUTH–COLE HARBOUR & Marlene Jennings, LIBERAL MP FOR NOTRE-DAME-DE-GRÂCE–LACHINE
On June 17, Liberal Leader Michael Ignatieff and Prime Minister Stephen Harper agreed to form a working group that would look at reforms to employment insurance to improve fairness in eligibility requirements for Canadians laid off during this recession. Examining ways to extend EI to the self-employed was also on the agenda.
Besides the issue of fairness, employment insurance in the hands of people who qualify is a major contributor to returning our economy to health. It does this first by putting money in the hands of people who will spend it immediately, thus providing immediate stimulus to the economy. Second, and perhaps most important, it provides a bridge for workers to the jobs of tomorrow.
Since that time in June, more than 52,000 people have been added to the unemployment lines. While economists vary in their opinions regarding whether or not the recession is over, one thing they all agree on is that it will take a long time for the jobs to come back. In fact, thousands of the manufacturing jobs lost in Ontario and Quebec are not likely to come back at all.
So where are we nearly eight weeks after EI reform was put on the front burner of Canadian politics? It's fair to say no real progress has been made. It took nearly a month for the two Conservative MPs on the panel, Pierre Poilievre and Diane Finley, to agree to a meeting.
Discussion at the first meeting centred on the Liberal proposal of a national standard of eligibility for benefits at 360 hours worked while the recovery persists. Despite having agreed to work on this proposal, following the meeting Conservative participants publicly rejected the standard while failing to propose an alternative.
Meeting two was even less satisfactory. Discussions around costing the proposal disintegrated even as media were provided a document leaked by "Conservative officials" with highly questionable numbers. Conservative members of the panel have provided no proposals of their own on which the group could work or make progress. Not on improvements to make eligibility fairer across the country, and not on the question of self-employed workers, a Conservative campaign commitment in the last election.
The next meeting is set to take place tomorrow. With four weeks left until MPs return to Parliament, there is still time for progress to be made. And why is progress so important? What does it matter?
If you are one of 150,000 Canadians who have paid into the employment insurance system and lost your job due to this recession before you accumulated enough hours to qualify for benefits, it may mean the difference between getting the temporary assistance you need to pay your bills while you find your next job, and turning to social assistance instead.
For families struggling to make ends meet when someone loses a job, the unfairness of not qualifying for coverage because of where you live adds insult to the injury of a job lost due to a recession.
With 58 different standards across the country, there are communities where one person is eligible for benefits while her neighbour across the street with the same number of hours worked will not qualify. This makes no sense, as the Prime Minister admitted back in June.
This is why many of Canada's premiers have supported the call for a single national standard for EI eligibility. They are joined by the Canadian Centre for Policy Alternatives, the Canadian Labour Congress, TD Bank economists and the C.D. Howe Institute, among others.
If Canada is to rebuild its economy, create new enterprises and develop new sectors to replace those that have devolved, we need all of the effort, all of the ingenuity and all of the men and women in our workforce returned to employment. We cannot afford to leave anyone behind.
For these reasons, Liberals will return to the next meeting of the EI Working Group tomorrow in the hope that the Conservatives will start to take the plight of jobless workers more seriously.
If they don't, Canadian families hurt by the recession will keep paying the price right now, and we will all be worse off in the long run.
Marlene Jennings and Mike Savage are Liberal members of the Employment Insurance Working Group.

Watch Sunday, August 10, 2014 at 10pm on WORLD.
The true story of hope and baseball in China's Xinjiang Province — a region harshly divided between an indigenous Muslim minority and the ruling Han Chinese.Diamond in the Dunes follows 20-year-old Uyghur shepherd Parhat Ablat, who attends the region's racially segregated Xinjiang University.
Parhat is on a fraught quest to raise his people out of what he calls their "spirit sickness." While at the helm of the university's first mixed-race baseball team, he also starts a program at a minority elementary school. After a year of practice in the shadow of tense ethnic relations, Parhat and the university team travel 2,000 miles for their only game of the season — against a team of Tibetans on the Qinghai Plateau. Baseball is more than a game; it's a vehicle for spiritual transformation.

Leslie Brueckner of Public Justice and I just published an article in Law360 about the Supreme Court's recent decision in Bristol-Myers Squibb Co. v. Superior Court. Here it is in full:
Although the case was closely watched by both sides of the aisle because of its potential to strictly limit plaintiffs' ability to sue corporations outside of their "home" state, the 8-to-1 ruling was decided on "settled principles" of law[2] — and, as a result, it did not move the legal needle anywhere near as far as the defense bar was hoping.
In this case, both California and nonresident plaintiffs sued Bristol-Meyer Squibb (BMS), a national pharmaceutical company, for personal injuries caused by Plavix, a cardiovascular drug linked to strokes and other serious injuries. Because BMS is incorporated in Delaware and headquartered in New York, and conducts most of its operations on the East Coast, there was no basis for asserting "general," or "all-purpose," jurisdiction over BMS in California.[3]
Instead, the question was whether California courts could assert specific jurisdiction over BMS, which exists where the plaintiff's claims "aris[e] out of or relat[e] to the defendant's contacts with the forum."[4]

I finally get a minute to sit down and mainline sweet, sweet internet. At an atrociously slow rate, but no matter.
I've got a lot of updating to do, but right now I'm considering how I should behave with the whole email vs. blog debate. I think that since a few people have stated outright that they despise blogs and all they stand for, I'll go ahead and send emails, and cross-post them here from now on. I hope none of the three (two? zero?) people who read this will be too offended at that.
I'll also keep just random musings and non-peace corps related things here as well. Hopefully soon I should be able to upload some pictures.
On another note, I see that Peter Jackson made a new movie that is set in South Africa, and it's supposed to be good! I have no idea when I'll see it.

The gender pay gap is a global challenge created by issues affecting pay equity and pay parity. Pay equity means equal pay for work of equal value. Pay parity means that there are equal numbers of women and men represented at each pay level across the organization. Both pay equity and pay parity need to be addressed to close the gap. The pay gap affects all women, although women from underrepresented racial and ethnic groups experience the largest gap.

Executive summary by darmansjah
The Mosque–Cathedral of Córdoba also called the Mosque of Cordoba (Spanish: Mezquita de Córdoba) or the Great Mosque of Córdoba is a medieval Islamic mosque that was converted into a Roman Catholic Christian cathedral in the Spanish city of Córdoba, Andalusia. The mosque is regarded as one of the most accomplished monuments of Moorish architecture. Since the early 2000s, Spanish Muslims have lobbied the Roman Catholic Church to allow them to pray in the cathedral. This Muslim campaign has been rejected on multiple occasions, both by the church authorities in Spain and by the Vatican.

Checkmate: Exploring Backward Induction Among Chess Players
Steven D. Levitt, John A. List, Sally E. Sadoff
NBER Working Paper No. 15610
Although backward induction is a cornerstone of game theory, most laboratory experiments have found that agents are not able to successfully backward induct. Much of this evidence, however, is generated using the Centipede game, which is ill-suited for testing the theory. In this study, we analyze the play of world class chess players both in the centipede game and in another class of games - Race to 100 games - that are pure tests of backward induction. We find that world class chess players behave like student subjects in the centipede game, virtually never playing the backward induction equilibrium In the race to 100 games, in contrast, we find that many chess players properly backward induct. Consistent with our claim that the Centipede game is not a useful test of backward induction, we find no systematic within-subject relationship between choices in the centipede game and performance in pure backward induction games.

Now that we're at the year's halfway point, once again it's about time I collect my thoughts and mini-reviews about all the books I've read recently. Here's the first of my 2015 posts. In this post and all future ones I'll exclude the books that aren't directly genre-related (which in this case is just one, the entertaining but pulpy World War II thriller, Where Eagles Dare by Alistair MacLean).
So, it's been half a year and my reading rate has been absolutely atrocious. I won't go into reasons, but it's partly things out of my control, and partly being too easily consumed by video games and TV shows when I do get free time.
My goal for 2015 was to read at least 40 books, and so far I'm just on 13 ones finished (with a few in progress). I think I might revise my goal down to 30 and really try to prioritise ones I've owned and wanted to read for a long time, instead of getting sucked in by new releases.
Some of the reviews below are more just collections of thoughts about the book rather than coherent reviews, and often I'm cribbing from what I wrote on Goodreads when I finished each book. But I think I give an impression of what appealed to me about each book.
So read on for books featuring fantasy (of the dark, comedic, and "cozy" flavours), futures both optimistic and pessimistic, human-alien relationships, and more!
The Gunslinger by Stephen King – ★★★★½
I think this is my third time reading The Gunslinger, but I've never made it all the way through the whole Dark Tower septology before. This time I want to complete the series.
I forgot to write a review when I finished this back in February, and now I don't have much to say about it, other than it's a great first book broken into a handful of novellas, each weirder and unveiling more about the world than the last. I particularly love the journey Roland takes through the mountains with Jake, and the remnants of long-dead civilisation that they find there. Haunting.

Getting down with the Teen Choice Award winners
"The Twilight Saga" and those associated were the big winners at Monday's Teen Choice Awards, but Sandra Bullock did OK with "The Blind Side" and "The Proposal" as well -- plus Sandy got to make yet another award-show appearance with Betty White, who may now hold the title of the hardest working woman in showbiz. (Maybe someone should make sure Betty hasn't already taken her "best dance" trophy surfboard down the beach for a spin?)

Speaking of schools, there was an article in today's Times of India, Mumbai edition, about the poor performance of state-run schools in Maharashtra. The following are the statistics provided by the newspaper
6.5 lakh class-I students in Maharashtra didn't understand the meaning of the English sentence: "Show me your pencil."
5.6 lakh class-II students could not read the number '8' in English.
In class III, 5.8 lakh students could not fill in the blank between the alphabet 'd' and the alphabet 'g' ('d____g').
While I know what Mark Twain said about statistics, I don't think this news report is very wide off the mark. When I was in class XII, my classmates had trouble framing even simple sentences in English. The problem to a large extent lay with the teaching methodology. In many schools, English is almost always taught in Hindi. While students are encouraged to answer questions in English, they're never taught to think in English. Also, students are not encouraged to read much. The exam-driven academic culture ingrains it in students that any reading, apart from that directly related to studies, is frivolous. How then will students learn English? Not every word in the dictionary, not every turn of phrase can be taught in the classroom. I remember in my first school we had a 'library period' in which we were all supposed to take books from the library and read. Many so-called studious pupils got those classes cancelled because they thought it would be better to study and to finish homework during that class than to 'waste' it reading books! The logic defied me.

Protect Synthetic Ropes
Fluoron Inc. is an aggressive and innovative company that has set out to remedy chafing issues at points of interface between synthetic mooring lines and deck or dock equipment throughout the maritime industry. They have developed various chafe and wear protection technologies including their Carreras Mooring Line Chafing Protection System and Heat Shrinkable Fairlead Roller Covers.
The Carreras Mooring Line Chafing Protection System is designed to protect synthetic lines of a ship or workboat from the rusted, corroded, and abrasive dock bollards. The concept for this design came after years of protecting deck equipment and the realization that dock equipment is neglected because boat and ship owners have no jurisdiction to protect the dock equipment. "The Carreras Mooring Line Chafing Protection System", manufactured using Fluoron's MARS material, is a lightweight series of bushings easily installed in the eye of a line that will protect your expensive synthetic lines.
Fluoron Inc. has also developed Heat Shrinkable Fairlead Roller Covers to protect mooring lines on board your vessel. This .060" thick fairlead cover is designed to protect and prevent wear of synthetic lines on fairlead rollers. This MARS cover eliminates the need for repainting the rolls. This area is very troublesome for synthetic lines as the roughness from frequent repainting is a major cause of wear. Another cause of high wear is when the bearings seize causing the destruction of your synthetic lines. The extremely low coefficient of friction not only eliminates wear from the sliding friction, but reduces internal breakdown of the synthetic fibers that make synthetic lines so strong. This cover is easily installed by simply removing the fairlead and sliding the cover over one end with an epoxy adhesive, then heating evenly until the cover is bonded tight. The aesthetic benefits of these white or black MARS covers are easy to spot. Fluoron's fairlead covers give a look of style and class and require little to no maintenance which translates to savings for the cruise ships beyond the preservation of their costly synthetic lines

China's Latest Moves in the South China Sea Have Sparked Fears of a New Land Grab

Testing the waters
For China, occupying the sandbar would probably not matter much right now. But one day, it might.
"I suppose that in a future world where China and the Philippines agree to divide up sovereignty over the islands and rocks, China is better off with Sandy Cay if it ever had to give up its claim to Thitu Island," said Julian Ku, a professor at the law school of Hofstra University in New York.

Flipping Coins To See The Future?
How can you resist writing about a bunch of scientists who think they've figured out a way to (just slightly) predict the future? Found over at Slashdot is this story about a series of "black boxes" that generate random numbers and seem to go slightly non-random during big events... and sometimes even goes slightly non-random right before really big events -- or so the article claims. As you might imagine, there are a lot of skeptics out there, and many of them are found in Slashdot's comments discussing the article. Either way, this is worth a quick read and you can watch the number generator "black boxes," you can watch them live -- just don't ask what they mean. [via Techdirt]

Crisis averted, Obama says Americans 'completely fed up' with Washington
President Barack Obama said on Thursday that Americans are "completely fed up with Washington" a day after the latest fiscal crisis was narrowly averted and called for talks with Congress on the budget, immigration and farm legislation. Hours after he signed into law a hastily arranged bill to end a 16-day government shutdown and head off a debt default, Obama said events over the past two weeks had inflicted "completely unnecessary" damage on the U.S. economy. Obama, having emerged bruised but victorious from the latest in a string of fiscal stalemates in Washington, issued an aggressive challenge to Congress, particularly the Republican-controlled House of Representatives: Get to work with him on issues critical to improving the economy. "Now that the government is re-opened and this threat to our economy is removed, all of us need to stop focusing on the lobbyists and the bloggers and the talking heads on radio and the professional activists who profit from conflict and focus on what the majority of Americans sent us here to do," he said. Declaring that "the American people are completely fed up with Washington," Obama sought to tap into American disgust with Washington to advance his agenda and argue that after more than two weeks of shutdown, people have seen that the federal government is vital to their lives. The agenda he laid out for the rest of the year appeared to presage more partisan combat. He called for House action on two major items that cleared the Democratic-controlled Senate earlier this year but collapsed in the House: an overhaul of the U.S. immigration system and passage of a $500 billion farm bill. Obama also renewed his plea for a "balanced approach" to the U.S. budget - language that means he wants to see some sources of new revenue in the budget such as closing corporate tax loopholes instead of simply enacting cuts in government spending. House Republicans have ruled out tax increases. "I understand we will not suddenly agree on everything now that the cloud of crisis has passed. Democrats and Republicans are far apart on a lot of issues," he said. "And sometimes we'll be just too far apart to forge an agreement. But that should not hold back our efforts in areas where we do agree."
U.S: The Republican Surrender
UPDATE: President Obama signed the bill reopening the government and lifting the debt ceiling early Thursday morning.The Republican Party slunk away on Wednesday from its failed, ruinous strategy to get its way through the use of havoc. Hours away from an inevitable market crash, it approved a deal that could have been achieved months ago had a few more lawmakers set aside their animus. After President Obama signs the bill, the government will reopen after more than two weeks of shutdown, and the threat of a default will be lifted.
Pakistan:Religious discrimination at climax by Nawaz Regime:No 'Qurbani' for you: Police stop Ahmadis from ritual sacrificing in Lahore
Lahore police stopped various members of the Ahmadi community in Lahore from slaughtering animals as part of 'Qurbani' ritual on Eidul Azha, proclaiming that the ritual of animal sacrifice was an Islamic injunction whereas Ahmadis were not Muslims. The Express Tribune learnt that police from the Islampura Police Station directed Tahir* in Sanat Nagar not to sacrifice his bull, which he had bought and tied in front of his house a day before Eid. At the direction of police, Tahir had to remove the animal from his house. On the same night, Hanjarwal police raided the house of Ahmad* at Sabzazar and took him to the police station, where he was detained for two hours. When his family members reached the police station, officials agreed to release him, but not before he provided a a written assurance that he will not perform the sacrifice meant to remember the Prophet Ibrahim's (AS) tradition of presenting Ismail (AS) for sacrifice, said one of Tahir's family members.He said that the police, instead of providing security to the citizens, was meddling in sectarian issues and supporting hardliners. *Tahir and Ahmad are fabricated names to protect the identities of the victims.
Sindh CM meets Zardari to discuss shuffling Sindh cabinet
The Express TribuneSindh Chief Minister Qaim Ali Shah met former president Asif Ali Zardari in Larkana to discuss shuffling the Sindh Cabinet, Express News reported on Thursday. At the meeting Pakistan Peoples Party's (PPP) Chairman Bilawal Bhutto Zardari, Member National Assembly (MNA) Faryal Talpur, Speaker Sindh Assembly Agha Siraj Durrani and Local Government Minister Owais Muzaffar were also present.

India, Pakistan have highest population of slaves in the world: report
Over 16 million or half the world's population of modern day slaves live in India and Pakistan, according to the inaugural Global Slavery Index published Thursday. An estimated 30 million people worldwide are living in modern-day slavery, of which 2.1 million are in Pakistan and a staggering 14 million are based in India. The report by the Walk Free Foundation ranks 162 countries on 'modern slavery' by using reports from governments and non-profit organisations as well as statistical estimates. The Walk Free Foundation's definition of modern slavery includes slavery itself, as well as human trafficking and forced labour, and slavery-like practices such as debt bondage, forced marriage, and sale or exploitation of children. According to the index, India has the highest total number of enslaved people in the world, between 13.2 million to 14.6 million, followed by China with 2.9 million enslaved people, and Pakistan with 2.1 million enslaved people. According to estimates by the WFF report, over 1.2 per cent of the Pakistani population is enforced into in some form of slavery. In India, this percentage rests somewhere around 1.13 per cent, while in China it is about 0.22 per cent. Combined, both India and Pakistan house 54 per cent of the world's population of enslaved people. The index also ranks countries on a slavery prevalence rating based on factors including ratio to country population. Mauritania and Haiti rank among the countries with the highest prevalence of modern slavery. An estimated 4 per cent of West African nation Mauritania's population is living in some form of slavery. Pakistan and India follow the list, ranked third and fourth respectively on prevalence of slavery. Taken together, countries with the highest numbers of enslaved people – India, China, Pakistan, Nigeria, Ethiopia, Russia, Thailand, Democratic Republic of Congo, Myanmar and Bangladesh – account for 76 per cent of the total estimate of 30 million in modern slavery today. The Walk Free Foundation is a Perth-based anti-slavery charity founded by Australian tycoon Andrew Forrest. The index has been endorsed by popular leaders including US Secretary Hillary Clinton, former British Prime Minister Tony Blair, current Australian Prime Minister Tony Abbott, and philanthropists Richard Branson and Bill Gates. The charity hopes the annual index will help governments monitor and tackle what it calls a "hidden crime". AGENCIES ADD: "A lot of people are very surprised to hear that slavery still exists," WFF chief executive Nick Grono told news agency AFP, explaining how many people assume it ended when the Atlantic slave trade was abolished in the 1800s. "What modern slavery is is a situation that reflects all of the characteristics of slavery of past centuries," he said. "People are controlled by violence. They are tricked or they are forced into jobs or situations where they are economically exploited. They live on no pay or base subsistence pay and they're not free to leave." "I think once we start pointing out the scale of the problem on a country by country basis, policy makers will react. "Slavery exists in every country in the world."
Bilawal Bhutto strongly condemns D. I. Khan blast
http://mediacellppp.wordpress.com/Patron-in-Chief of Pakistan People's Party, Bilawal Bhutto Zardari has strongly condemned the blast in Kulachi, D. I. Khan, which resulted into the loss of several innocent lives including of provincial minister Israrullah Gandapur while injuring many others. Bilawal Bhutto Zardari said that shedding blood of innocent people was tantamount to playing with the stability of the country. He said that the enemies wanted to weaken the country to fulfill their nefarious designs. PPP chief Bilawal Bhutto sympathized with the families of victims who lost their lives and limbs in the attack and expressed solidarity with them. He stressed that special arrangements should be made for timely treatment to all those injured in the attacks.
Eid sacrificial animals in Pak can cost more than cars
http://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/This year, the average price of a "qurbani" or sacrificial animal begins from 20,000 Pakistani rupees onwards and goes up to a princely sum of Rs 16 lakh - an amount that has left several appalled, considering a brand new car in Pakistan will cost only about Rs 7 lakh. It's the first time in years that the prices are so high and have nearly doubled from that of 2012. This means buying a sacrificial animal remains nothing but a dream for the salaried and middle class. No wonder then, animals are allegedly being stolen from homes. Take for example cricket player Imran Farhat. After paying Rs 1 lakh for his Eid goats, they were stolen overnight from his house in the upscale Valencia Town, Lahore. Despite police complaints and follow ups, the goats remain missing. It was "breaking news" on some channels. It is not uncommon for animals to be stolen or abducted in the days leading to Eid. In Karachi, where extortion is rampant in some areas, people who bring home sacrificial animals may even have to pay money to mafia to keep them safe. This year alone, two animals were shot dead by extortionists after their owners from Kharadar and Ranchore Lines area refused to pay them ransom. TV channels have also been showing all kind of animals that are up for sale, including a goat that "drinks sprite" and chews 'pan'. One goat showed on TV was priced at whopping Rs six lakh, while the most expensive buffalo was priced at about Rs 16 lakh. But then, if one does not feel like making his way through cattle markets crowded with buyers and animals, then help is just a click away. "Qurbani Online" is among a host of websites which promises to have the animal delivered 'at your home, at any relative's location or any charity organization'. But as of now, the service is restricted to Karachi. An official of the Livestock and Dairy Development in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa province told state-run APP news agency that sacrificial animals between Rs 70,000 to Rs 1,00,000 are being sacrificed in the province. People say rising prices of sacrificial animals have made it hard for them to afford and many joint families have decided to share the cost of sacrificial cows. Butchers are also in high demand. The current rates are about Rs 2,000 to Rs 4,500 for goat, Rs 5,000 to Rs 10,000 for cows and Rs 10,000 to 15,000 for camels. Eid-ul-Azha is an Islamic festival in which devotees mark the prophet Ibrahim's willingness to sacrifice his son when God ordered him to.
60pc Afghan children facing malnutrition: WFP
The World Food Programme on Wednesday said 60 percent children were reportedly faced with malnutrition in Afghanistan alone, with over 842 million individuals lacking adequate food around the world. "While security issues related to insurgency and foreign aggression monopolize most discourse in Afghanistan, a lesser noted form of insecurity – food and nutrition shortage – also threatens the country's prosperity," a WFP statement said. It said the WFP worked extensively in Afghanistan along with a number of other countries in the South Asian region. "WFP works with the Ministry of Public Health and other partners to treat moderate acute malnutrition and prevent severe acute malnutrition in young children," said Claude Jibidar, WFP Country Director for Afghanistan. "We also provide specialised nutritious food to malnourished mothers and pregnant women." The statement said investment in food security by national governments and the international community as a whole was extremely limited. The WFP said if the international community invested 1.2 billion dollars annually, which is far less than what is spent by many Western governments on their militaries year-to-year, the shortage of food for kids worldwide would be completely solved.

All over the world Pakistani Christians have one voice for them.Last day in Kasure at Ganda Singh boarder our Christian brother sisters were gather to make their voice against Peshawar Church attack on 22nd September when the believer of Lord Jesus Christ were just finished Holy Mass and two suicide bomber blast them. At that time more than 500 people including Sunday school children were present. At the spot 110 people including women, children and young boys, girls were died and 170 people were injured, some of them were major and some were minor but they were affected. The number of death were increased by night 127 when we were busy for quick funeral service ordered by Bishop Humphrey who were just away from Peshawar only for 3 hours drive in Bannu but reached at 7:30. And having meeting with Imran Khan at his own Drying room as well as controlled to media and officials. In the history of Pakistan the first time Christian faced huge life damages but the Church of Pakistan and Peshawar diocese sum up quick and fast, now the policy maker of Peshawar diocese try to close this issue and think that is normal, at other side the patient of blast are losing parts of bodies and forcibly treatment in to the private hospital because the Mission hospital of Peshawar diocese have no expert para medical and medical staff as well as that hospital is too dirty. Many girls had major operation which is alarming for the future generation, One of collage girl (Farah Irshad) still waiting for surgery now she is paralyzed due to blockage of ball barring in her back bone her brother lost his all gums and teeth. My cousin lost her eye boll. Kashmalla Munawar lost her leg. Many children and other affected were still in private hospital in shocking conditions that are taking care of WVIP, BISHOP JOHN JOSEPH TRUST. After the attacked the numbers of martyrs are now 130, 120 people still in the different hospitals in Peshawar and in PIMS Islamabad, 12 women become widows, 24 children become orphan 18 children were lost both father and mother. But the church of Pakistan diocese of Peshawar think its normal and people should forget and started new life as they were in past also condemning those who are activist and shouting for justice. Diocese thinks that some activist getting political advantage and making hurdle in the diocese plan. It's true that Bishop Humphrey Peter control all situations by himself, Himself made dialogue with C M KPK at his office on 23rd September. 10th October he met with Prime Mister of Pakistan without delegations of victims but in press release they issued report with affected families which are not true. - See more at: http://www.christiansinpakistan.com/the-role-of-church-peshawar-church-attack/#sthash.WBYApqPH.dpuf

More enrollment in Malala's part of the world
Malala Yousafzai has not won the Nobel Peace Prize. Nonetheless, a number of people attribute the hike in girls' enrollment in schools in Pakistan's Khyber Pakhtunkhwa province to her struggle.Malala's international admiration has boosted the number of newly enrolled girls in schools in Pakistan's Khyber Pakhtunkhwa province (KPK), particularly Malakand Division. The Malakand Division includes the districts of Chitral, Lower Dir and Upper Dir, Swat, Buner, Shangla and Malakand. "In less than a month, more than 200,000 children, including 75,000 girls have been enrolled in different schools," KPK education minister Atif Khan told DW. He added that the people living in this area had now understood the importance of education in a nation's progress. Khan called what happened to Malala "upsetting" and hoped it would not repeat itself. Malala's campaign
Pakistani Quake Victims Suffer As Government Denies International Aid
Residents of the southwestern Pakistani province of Balochistan are still struggling to dig out of the rubble left by two major earthquakes last month. The central government, meanwhile, is being accused of dragging its feet in allowing international aid to reach the disaster zone. Islamabad has been involved in an intense struggle to crush the separatist aims of the province's Baluch population. This has heightened the complications of providing relief following the quakes that hit on September 24 and 28, killing nearly 700 people and leaving some 1,000 injured. The central government has maintained tight control over the relief effort amid the continuing insurgency and, with their safety in mind, has denied the involvement of outside aid agencies. Local aid workers acknowledge that there have been some cases of insurgents attacking security forces following the disaster. But aid workers, they say, have not been targeted. Provincial officials do not see it that way, arguing that international aid workers cannot be allowed in until their security can be ensured. Chief Minister Abdul Malik Baloch, the province's top elected official, has nevertheless written to Islamabad requesting that international aid agencies be allowed to participate in the relief effort. But weeks after the quakes, with government agencies now on leave to celebrate the Eid al-Adha holiday, Minister Baloch is still awaiting a reply. Help Desperately Needed Zahid Ali is a local aid worker participating in relief efforts in Awaran district, which is located at the epicenter of the September quakes. He paints a grim picture of utter destruction. He says that more than 90 percent of the traditional mud-brick houses in the region have collapsed and remaining ones have been damaged so badly that they are not usable. He says that aid in the form of food, medicine, and tents has reached disaster-hit areas, but a lot of work remains to be done. "I request that international agencies, the United Nations in particular, come here quickly because the people need them urgently," Ali says. "We need their aid in the form of food items and nonfood items. We need blankets because the winters are approaching. We require lots of daily-use utensils for cooking. Above all, we need a lot of medical assistance." Ali says that Minister Baloch spent five days in Awaran following the earthquakes. At the time, Ali says, the chief minister pledged to push Islamabad to appeal to the United Nations for help. Minister Baloch's spokesman, Jan Muhammad Bulaidi, accused the insurgents of hampering the delivery of aid to the very people they claim to be fighting for. "The separatists should curtail their activities in the aftermath of the disaster. They should allow aid workers and state agencies to help people," he said. "The separatists need to change their attitude. They need to be aware of the problems of their people. They should allow aid organizations to go to the affected regions and help people," Bulaidi said. "Aid workers would go there only if they can be assured of their security by the authorities." Agencies At The Ready International aid organizations cite Islamabad's reluctance as the main hurdle to them reaching quake victims. Many aid workers, speaking on condition of anonymity, confirmed that they are ready to go to Awaran as soon as they get a nod from Islamabad. Doctors Without Borders (MSF) was one of the first organizations to publically call on Islamabad to allow humanitarian access to Awaran. "It's crucial that the authorities allow impartial humanitarian assistance into the Awaran area in order to respond to any unmet needs," the international aid agency's operations manager, Chris Lockyear, said in an October 4 press statement. Doctors Without Borders is still waiting for a green light from Pakistani authorities. The magnitude 7.7 and 6.8 earthquakes that struck in late September left more than 100,000 people homeless and affected more than 300,000 people. In addition to Awaran, they jolted the nearby districts of Kech, Khuzdar, Kharan, Gwadar, Panjgur, and Chaghi. These regions are a stronghold of Baluch separatists who have waged many violent insurgencies against Islamabad over the past six decades. Thousands of civilians and soldiers have died in the latest rebellion, which erupted after the 2006 killing of prominent Baluch politician Nawab Akbar Bugti. Many hard-line Baluch factions now claim to be fighting for a separate homeland. Resource-rich Balochistan is prone to earthquakes. In April a 7.8 magnitude earthquake across the border in Iran killed at least 35 people in Balochistan. In 1935 a major quake killed 60,000 people.

Luca Giordano, MD
Exceptional Training. Pioneering Services.
Luca Giordano, MD, FACS ► See Dr. Giordano's
- Clinical Assistant Professor of Surgery, Jefferson Medical College, Thomas Jefferson University
- Head of the Section on Minimally Invasive Surgery, Aria Health
- Director of Bariatric Surgery, Aria Health
- Chairman, Peer Quality Review Committee, Aria Health
spotlight bio
► See Dr. Giordano's
Luca Giordano, MD, FACS, earned his medical degree at the University of Rome, did his residency in general surgery at Albert Einstein Medical Center, in Philadelphia, and completed a fellowship in Minimally Invasive Surgery at Cedar Sinai Medical Center in Los Angeles. A highly experienced surgeon, Dr. Giordano served as Chief of Surgery at Musumechi GECAS Hospital in Catania, Italy, before coming to Aria. He is a Fellow of the American College of Surgery and has been certified by the American Board of Surgery since 2003.
Luca Giordano, MD, FACS, performs bariatric surgery and has helped pioneer use of single-incision laparoscopy in the Aria community for various types of operations. He specializes in laparoscopic surgery for the following procedures. (Note, "resection" refers to an operation in which the surgeon reconfigures or removes all or part of an organ or area of tissue.)
• colon resection (bowel resection or colectomy) for colorectal cancer and benign disease;
• bariatric surgery (weight-loss surgery, including placement of stomach band);
• gastric resection (stomach resection or gastrectomy) for cancer and benign disease;
• adrenalectomy (adrenal gland resection);
• splenectomy (spleen resection);
• pancreatectomy (resection of the pancreas);
• lysis of adhesions (severing of abnormal tissue connections caused by scaring or other connective tissue);
• Nissen fundoplication for gastro-esophageal reflux (an operation in which the surgeon improves the barrier between stomach and esophagus by wrapping the top-most portion of the stomach around the bottom of the esophagus to strengthen the valve function between these two organs and prevent stomach acid from entering the esophagus);
• hiatal hernia repair (to prevent a portion of the stomach from protruding through the diaphragm and into the chest) ;
• super-selective vagotomy (precise cutting of the vagus nerve to decrease acid production in the stomach, in cases of ulcers and other conditions);
• inguinal hernia repair (to fix a weak portion of the lower abdominal wall through which soft tissue such as intestine may protrude);
• ventral or incisional hernia repair (to fix a portion of the abdominal wall weakened by previous surgical incision through which soft tissue such as intestine may protrude);
• cholecystectomy (gallbladder removal);
• and appendectomy (removal of the appendix).
► Surgery with an incision as small as a half-inch.
Learn about Aria's Section on Minimally Invasive Surgery.
Dr. Giordano is also trained and experienced in transgastric surgery, an example of a new, leading-edge approach for performing operations. This strategy represents a next stage of advancement in the surgical field. In transgastric surgery, the surgeon passes an endoscope through the mouth and down the esophagus, and then accesses other internal areas through an incision in the stomach. This operation is part of an evolving technique in surgery, one in which the surgeon uses a natural orifice as the initial route of internal access, advancing surgical tools and scope into the stomach, vagina, bladder, or colon in order to gain closer positioning for surgical incision and access to other areas. Advantages of this approach include no external incisions and thus no scarring and less risk of wound infection. They may also include lower anesthesia requirements, faster recovery, and shorter hospital stays.
Luca Giordano, MD, FACS, has authored chapters for several textbooks including Current Surgical Therapy, 8th Edition, by L. Cameron, and Mastery of Endoscopic and Laparoscopic Surgery, 3rd Edition, by Nathaniel J. Soper, MD. He serves as a clinical assistant professor of surgery, at Jefferson Medical College, and also provides surgical coverage for the Trauma Center at Aria's Torresdale Campus.

iPush - Smart Our TV, Cast Your Fun
No one can do without their smartphones these days. The need to share and broadcast content on devices becomes essential to everyone, hence "Cast" is all the buzz lately.
The answer to linking any of your Android/ iOS devices to your TV and make your TV smarter, is all in a small flashdrive-sized dongle called "iPush".
iPush is basically like an Android 4.0 TV dongle except that it does not run any OS, but a WIFI receiver which transmits images, videos and sound onto any HDMI displays.
The iPush comes with an HDMI extension and a micro-USB cable.
On one-side of the dongle is a button for easy connection.
On one end of the dongle is a standard HDMI plug.
The other end is a micro-USB port for powering up the device.
iPush works with any iOS devices apps that support AirPlay.
iPush also works with any Android devices via a dedicated device app.
iPush also works with devices that support DLNA.
Hence, my Samsung NOTE II casts images and videos seamlessly onto the iPush.
Connecting the iPush
There are 2 ways to connect the iPush to devices.
The first is a WiFi Direct connection to the iPush WiFi signal. Doing so will result in a disconnection from existing wireless network and 3G/4G connection. The method of connection works well when casting content in an external environment without a WiFi network.
The second is connection via the router. Download the app from Google Play store in order to register the device onto the home wireless network. This method of connection makes more sense for home use.
Samsung Link with iPush
Samsung Link is a preinstalled app in all Samsung Android devices.
There is no need to buy an expensive Samsung All Play device to cast images and videos onto any TV.
Through the Samsung Link app, simply click on the icon on the top left hand corner to cast the image to the iPush device.
If you are using a Samsung device, you can also cast images and videos directly from the Gallery by pressing the Screen icon on the left of the Share icon.
AirPlay for iOS
If you have an iOS device connected to the same wireless network, casting contents are easy and seamless as well.
The iPush acts as an AirPlay device.
On any iOS app that support AirPlay, such as the default Photos app, simply click Share icon and select AirPlay.
There are plenty of 3rd party apps that support AirPlay.
My favourite iOS 3rd party video player automatically casts the videos onto the iPush!
My favourite iOS 3rd party video player automatically casts the videos onto the iPush!
No frills!
Casting YouTube from the iPad is almost seamless, except when there are Ads.
Guess Google decided not to perfect this for AirPlay.
With the iPush, I can now throw or cast contents onto my good o' plasma TV. All I need is a HDMI port and a USB port. The iPush is definitely better and easier to use than an Android TV Box, since most of the time, our contents are all in our mobile devices. It is much easier to control with our smartphones rather than fiddling with wireless keyboards or air mouse. The drawback of the iPush is that it does not support mirroring. Note that casting contents is not instantaneous and takes around a second or two to send the image over. Another drawback is the iPush does not support 1080i/p resolutions and only support 720p.
For a S$39.90 device, I got no complains.

Helper T-cells
From The School of Biomedical Sciences Wiki
Helper T cells have the function to help other immune cells through the production and secretion of cytokines. These T cells can be divided into different subsets. The subsets are based on the expression of particular surface markers and on the cytokine production of the helper T cell.
Types of Helper T Cells
- CD 4-expressing T Helper Cells: They help B cells and to assist them in the process of differentiation into plasma cells. Helper T cells are able to do that by producing and secreting cytokines like IL-4. In addition, in order to help the particular B cell, the T cell has to be in direct contact with it.
- TH1 Helper Cells: These helper cells secrete TNF and interferon gamma. "TNF" stands for tumour necrosis factor. Interferon-gamma helps with the activation of macrophages and stimulation of an inflammatory response. In addition, TH1 helper cells produce antibodies, such as IgG1 and IgG3. <u</u>
- TH2 Helper Cells: These helper cells secrete IL-10 and IL-4. IL-4 aids B cell class switching to the IgE and IgG1 isotypes.
- TH17 Helper Cells: These helper cells secrete IL-17.
