History of Astronomy
Hatcher Graduate Library
913 S. University Avenue
Ann Arbor, MI 48109-1190
A collection of materials on astronomy dating from the second century through the 'golden age' of celestial cartography
If you simply want to read a historical astronomy text, you may be able to find it online, digitized and translated into English. But to fully experience the physical splendor of the documents, you'll need to make a visit to the library.
Peggy Daub, former curator of the history of astronomy collection, says, "We are one of the few institutions in the world to have all the important early works in astronomy covered, including hundreds of pre-1800 publications."
The Galileo Manuscript, written 1609-1610, is among the great treasures of the University of Michigan Library. One of the top ten items requested from Special Collections, it is also the most frequently reprinted, appearing in textbooks and on the web, including on the NASA website. The document, written in his own hand, describes and illustrates Galileo's discovery of the four moons of Jupiter.
Daub says, "The Galileo manuscript is a rare and valuable holding and it gets students excited about the subject. I'm often invited to speak to beginning astronomy students, and the manuscript is part of the talk. Physics classes use it, too, and when Michigan Math and Science Scholars visit, it's part of our show-and-tell."
While the greatest strength of the history of astronomy collection is the depth and breadth of its material, the Galileo manuscript is one among its many sparkling gems.
The library owns all of the "big four" star atlases that came out of Europe's golden age of celestial cartography: the Atlas Coelestis of John Flamsteed, the Uranometria of Johann Bayer (1603), the Firmamentum Sobiescianum sive Uranographia of Johannes Hevelius (1690) and the Uranographia of Johann Elert Bode (1801) — two of which were fairly recent aquisitions made possible with the support of library endowments.
To look back even further, you can examine an Egyptian papyrus containing an astrological treatise, written in Greek around the second century C.E., that predicts the movement of Mars.
Daub points out that the astronomy collection has significant overlap with the History of Mathematics collection. For example, the library owns a rare first edition by Copernicus (1543) that puts forth his theory that the earth moves around the sun, a theory he supported with mathematics since it couldn't be proven by observation.
The mathematics collection also includes more than 100 editions of The Elements of Euclid, spanning five centuries and many languages. An edition by Oliver Byrne published in 1847 is one of the first examples of the use of color to elucidate mathematical concepts.

On September 26th I will testify to the US House of Representatives Intelligence Committee in their ongoing investigation into whether Donald Trump, his family, campaign or associates colluded with the Russian State to influence the outcome of the 2016 election.
I am testifying voluntarily and have requested nor received no grant of immunity.
I have been anxious to do so since several members of the Committee have made allegations in public session that I had advance notice of either the hacking of Clinton's campaign chairman John Podesta's emails or advanced knowledge of the content of material published by WikiLeaks that proved embarrassing to the campaign of Hillary Clinton.
As Factcheck.org, a non-partisan news organization funded by the Annenberg Foundation concluded on March 28th, 2017 both assertions are false.
The torrent of leaks and allegations from our intelligence agencies on the question of Russian collusion demonstrate the extent to which these various agencies have been politicized.
Repetition of the mantra that "the Russians colluded with the Trump campaign" does not, however, make it true.
The New York Times reported on January 20th, 2017 that the Intelligence agencies were in possession of emails, records of financial transactions and transcripts of telephone intercepts that proved that Trump associates Roger Stone, Paul Manafort and Carter Page actively colluded with the Russian State to assist the Trump campaign.
It is important to note that The New York Times The Senate and House Intelligence Committees and our Intelligence services have yet to produce any of these claimed materials simply because they do not exist.
The entire allegation of Russian involvement with the Trump campaign is based on the premise that the Russians hacked the Democratic National Committee and forwarded the hacked material to Wikileaks for publication.
In fact, the DNC refused the FBI access to their servers and this hacking charge is ascribed to CloudStrike, a forensic IT firm whose credibility is questionable.
A recent report by The Nation included the assertion by counter intelligence expert William Binney that more evidence exists that material stolen from the DNC was more likely downloaded to thumb drives and spirited out of the building, leaving no finger print of the Russians.
British Diplomat Craig Murray has said publicly that he was the recipient of these downloads and that he provided them to Wikileaks.
The reported meeting between Donald Trump Jr. and a Russian attorney who claimed to have documentation of malfeasance by Hillary Clinton was neither improper nor illegal.
That the Russian attorney was in the United States without a visa raises serious questions as to whether this meeting, which produced nothing was a setup designed to provide the impression of Russian collision where there was none.
The entire allegation of Russian collusion with the Trump campaign is the brain child of Clinton operative John Podesta, most likely to distract from the lucrative business contracts that he and his brother enjoyed with the oligarchs around Putin as well as the rich "speaking fees" paid to Bill and Hillary Clinton by this very same Russian clique.
In short the claim of Russian collusion with Trump is a politically motivated fairy tale.

NAPLES, Fla. (AP) — Shanshan Feng was right back on top of an LPGA Tour leaderboard Thursday, shooting a 6-under 66 to take a one-shot lead over So Yeon Ryu and Charley Hull after the first round of the CME Group Tour Championship.
Coming off consecutive victories in Malaysia and Japan, Feng is one of nine players who entered the season finale with a chance to win the Race to the CME Globe season title and $1 million bonus. The Chinese star had a bogey-free round.
Ha Na Jang, Sei Young Kim, In Gee Chun, Amy Yang, Lizette Salas, Beatriz Recari, Ryann O'Toole and Mo Martin all shot 68.
Top-ranked Lydia Ko had a 70. She needs a win this week to secure player of the year honors,
Ariya Jutanugarn and Brooke Henderson, who like Ko are guaranteed the points crown if they prevail this week, each shot 72.

U.S. Supreme Court Lifts Bans on Same-Sex Marriages, Requires Recognition of Valid Same-Sex Marriages
Effectively legalizing gay marriage throughout the United States, a divided U.S. Supreme Court has ruled that states must issue a license for a marriage between two people of the same-sex and that state prohibitions against same-sex marriages violate the Fourteenth Amendment rights of same-sex couples. Obergefell v. Hodges, No. 14-556 (June 26, 2015). The Supreme Court, 5-4, found that statewide prohibitions on same-sex marriage violate the Equal Protection and Due Process clauses of the U.S. Constitution's Fourteenth Amendment. This decision has wide-ranging implications for employers.
Several groups of same-sex couples sued their respective state agencies and state actors in Ohio, Michigan, Kentucky, and Tennessee to challenge the constitutionality of those states' ban on same-sex marriage or refusal to recognize legal same-sex marriages that occurred in jurisdictions that provided for such marriages. The plaintiffs in each case argued that the states' statutes violated the Equal Protection and Due Process clauses of the Fourteenth Amendment, and one group of plaintiffs also brought claims under the Civil Rights Act. In all cases, the trial courts found in favor of the plaintiffs. The U.S. Court of Appeals for the Sixth Circuit, which has jurisdiction over Kentucky, Michigan, Ohio, and Tennessee, reversed the trial court decisions and held that the states' bans on same-sex marriage and refusal to recognize marriages performed in other states did not violate the couples' Fourteenth Amendment rights to equal protection and due process.
14th Amendment Protection
The Supreme Court disagreed with the Sixth Circuit, finding that the Fourteenth Amendment, under both the Due Process Clause and Equal Protection Clause, requires states to recognize same-sex marriages that were validly performed.
Under the Due Process Clause, the Court found four principles and traditions demonstrating that marriage is fundamental under the Constitution, which applies "with equal force to same-sex couples." These are:
- the right to personal choice regarding marriage is inherent in individual autonomy;
- the right to marry is fundamental because it "supports a two-person union unlike any other in its importance to the committed individuals";
- marriage "safeguards children and families"; and
- marriage is the "keystone to social order."
Under the Equal Protection Clause, supported by Loving v. Virginia, 388 U.S. 1 (1967), and Lawrence v. Texas, 539 U.S. 558 (2003), the Court found that marriage prohibitions enforced by the states are unequal — "same-sex couples are denied all the benefits afforded to opposite-sex couples and are barred from exercising a fundamental right." The Court found that same-sex couples "ask for equal dignity in the eyes of the law [and] [t]he Constitution grants them that right."
Implications for Employers
Obergefell will affect application of certain employment-related laws.
The Family and Medical Leave Act of 1993 ("FMLA") requires private employers who have employed at least 50 employees on each working day during at least 20 calendar weeks in the current or preceding calendar year to grant qualifying employees time off to care for their sick spouses. Obergefell will provide clarity and consistency to FMLA administration. Earlier this year, the Department of Labor issued a Final Rule revising the regulatory definition of spouse under the FMLA. (For details, see our article, New FMLA Regulations Expand Definition of Spouse and Include Same-Sex Spouses.) It established that a spousal relationship for purposes of FMLA is based on the law of the place in which the marriage was entered into ("place of celebration"), as opposed to the old FMLA regulations basing the spousal relationship on the law of the state in which the employee resides. As a result of the Supreme Court's decision, it appears any questions regarding the DOL's Final Rule have been all but eliminated. Employers should review and make changes to policies and practices to ensure FMLA is applied consistently with the DOL's Final Rule.
In addition, in 2013, the Internal Revenue Service and DOL issued guidance providing that same-sex spouse marriages would be recognized for purposes of the Internal Revenue Code and the Employee Retirement Income Security Act (ERISA) if they were legally recognized in the state where the marriage was celebrated. Thus, the federal law protections of the IRC and ERISA were extended to same-sex spouses even if the couples lived in a state that did not recognize or even banned same-sex marriage. These new protections included same-sex spouse entitlement to joint and survivor annuities and qualified preretirement survivor annuities under defined benefit plans and certain defined contribution plans, status as a default beneficiary under 401(k) plans, and the ability to roll over a survivor benefit to another employer's eligible retirement plan. The new protections also included same-sex spousal entitlement to cafeteria plan participation, COBRA continuation elections, and flexible spending account participation.
One of the main protections extended by the 2013 guidance was the ability of employees to purchase same-sex health plan coverage for their spouses on a pre-tax basis and to exclude the cost of the coverage from gross income for federal income tax purposes — which is the same treatment afforded to opposite-sex spouse health coverage. Prior to the 2013 guidance, same-sex health plan coverage was paid for by the employee on an after-tax basis and the value of the coverage was included as imputed income to the employee for federal income tax purposes. State income tax laws, however, were not affected by the 2013 guidance. Following Obergefell, states must recognize same-sex marriages that were legally recognized in the state where the marriage was celebrated — which will include same-sex marriages celebrated in all 50 states — for purposes of state income tax laws. Accordingly, employees will no longer be required to recognize imputed income on the value of same-sex health coverage for state income tax purposes.
Furthermore, there is no mandated level of health plan coverage under federal law (specifically, under ERISA) and Obergefell does not create any such requirement — health plan coverage remains a benefit that employers may provide, or not, in their sole discretion. Accordingly, private employers who offer self-insured health coverage are not required by Obergefell to offer same-sex spouse health coverage or, indeed, any coverage at all. The definition of "spouse" used in the plan document will continue to determine eligibility for coverage under self-insured plans. Employers with self-insured plans who offer only opposite-sex spousal coverage, however, certainly will risk sex discrimination claims under Title VII, which is not preempted by ERISA. In contrast, employers who offer insured coverage that includes any spousal coverage will have to offer same-sex spousal coverage as well.
Why the difference between self-insured and insured coverage?
Unlike self-insured plans, insured coverage must comply with state insurance codes and, post-Obergefell, state laws cannot treat same-sex spouses differently than opposite-sex spouses. Given the benefit changes associated with Obergefell, now is the time to consult appropriate counsel to ensure benefit plans are designed in a manner consistent with your company's goals, as well as applicable laws.

This has a hollow take-off ,then reels off the rocks for 300m, then smashes into a big rock on a small wave, but on a big wave you can go to Noosa beach.
Try to get a park at the carpark it gets packed with people. Take your mal and shorty.
If you are going to take off don't hesitate as the rocks are very unforgiving. Not much room for error & if you blow it punch through the back of the wave or you will get cut to ribbons on the rocks.
Good makable wave but longboarders everywhere.
Noosa National Park is a great spot to take the family. The wave is awesome it has been rode at 6 meters you will love it.
Nice easy mellow wave, just don't let mal riders drop in on you.
Noosa is a great place to surf. Watch out for a-bay it's a nudist beach but great surf.

Bouncer Wears A GoPro On NYE To Show How Drunk People Get (Video)
Here's a video to make you feel slightly better about all the embarrassing mistakes you made on New Year's Eve.
The video, shot using a GoPro camera, documents the many drunken fools a bouncer at Ontario club Gatsby encountered on New Year's Eve last year.
The footage, which spans nearly 10 minutes, is full of gems: liquor-fueled fights, sloppy drunks and lots of chicks who can't handle their alcohol. Really, all that's missing from this night out is a bad one-night stand and a back-alley vomit session.
Check out the cringeworthy body-cam video, up top.

Today's Ultimate Blog Challenge writing prompt is to share a video – or two! Since one of my new year's goals is to promote my other business more, I just happen to have two nice videos people have created for me about my K-Lee's Kreations business. 🙂
So since I've already shared how I assemble and create a quilt, as well as how I imprint photos on those items, it seems fitting to share these two videos.
My son kindly compiled this video for me as a testimonial montage of items and comments from satisfied customers.
Then another satisfied customer created this on her own and surprised me with it.
I am so thankful for these gifts God has given me to craft special items that people appreciate so much! 🙂
So what about YOU?
Do you like these videos others made for me?
Do you have any videos you would like to share that are special or meaningful to you? Feel free to leave the URL with your comment!

Anne Hathaway Puts Her Wedding Plans On Hold
Anne Hathaway has had to cut her hair short for a new role in the upcoming screen adaptation of Les Miserables — so that appears to have thrown off her wedding plans as well!
The actress debuted a new hair cut recently and it's not her typical longer hair. It's super short — and cute. But apparently it's a problem for the actress because she doesn't want to walk down the aisle until her hair grows back in.
Anne has been forced to delay her wedding to Adam Shulman because of her busy filming schedule in addition to her shorter locks. She's worried that her hair won't be at its previous length for her big day.
The happy couple were planning for a summer wedding, but between filming Les Mis and promoting The Dark Knight Rises, she just doesn't have the time. A source close to Anne said that she has to postpone her nuptials until next year.
The insider said, "Anne's worried there won't be time to get back in shape and grow her hair for a summer wedding. She also has to promote her movie Batman…They are thinking about postponing until later this year or maybe 2013."
We're sure that when she does decide to take the plunge she is going to look great!

Last week in brief… As if to underline a contributed article that appeared in the Financial Times last week on how, in many African countries, the solar power technology has reached grid cost parity with conventional sources of power which should dramatically boost its usage in the continent's energy mix, Investec Asset Management announced a significant private equity investment in Mobisol, a provider of solar home systems in East Africa.
This transaction was the most high-profile of the week. Berlin-headquartered Mobisol, which is already well-established in the Tanzanian and Rwandan markets, will use the fresh capital to accelerate its expansion in both existing and new markets. Efforts are already underway to penetrate the neighboring Kenyan market.
Otherwise, it was a relatively quiet week, deal-wise. Africa's largest fund manager, the Public Investment Corporation and its partner, Business Ventures Investments, had their bid to acquire Sub-Saharan Industrial Holdingsapproved by the South Africa's Competition Tribunal. Between them, both investors will own 75% of the transport and logistics company. And Motlekar Holdings, which is described as a private equity enterprise, invested in what appears to be a distressed opportunity by acquiring grounded airlineLCC Skywise in an undisclosed deal. Skywise started operating flights between Johannesburg and Cape Town in 2015 before being grounded due to its failure to pay its bills.
We found out last week that Metierheld the final close for its second fund in mid-September, raising a total of R2.8 billion or a little over US$200 million from a broad range of institutions – development finance institutions, fund-of-funds as well as a range of South African pension funds and other asset managers. The fund aims to deliver returns in line with the track record of Metier's team, namely a 36% IRR and 2.6x money (in South African Rand, gross). A total of fourteen investors committed capital to the fund raise, eight of whom are re-upping from Metier's prior funds.
On a smaller scale, the IFC revealed last week that is mulling a $7.5 million commitment to Fanisi Capital's second fund which will target private equity opportunities in SMEs in East Africa. The fund, which is targeting $75 million with a hard cap of $100 million, is hoping to hold a first close during the final quarter of this year. The development finance institution's board is expected to met in early November to review the proposed investment.
As you may have heard, there's a growing consensus of an inflating private equity bubble in Africa recently as more and more capital chases a small number of potential deals. The Boston Consulting Group thinks differently. In spite of the risks, it finds that the continent remains one of the world's greatest growth opportunities for the private equity industry and takes a look at the factors that underpin this bullish outlook.
And finally, Nigeria's government in planning to raise significant debt in the coming months to finance the US$19.4 billion plan to jump start the country's slumping economy. A piece by the Brookings Institutionlooks at the upcoming auctions and at why the country's Debt Management Office is confident of Nigeria's ongoing ability to service the debt.

Treasury to Provide Fed Funding
"The Treasury Department Wednesday announced a financing program designed to provide cash for the Federal Reserve to use in the attempt to address liquidity pressures in the financial market.
The Treasury Department announced the initiation of a temporary Supplementary Financing Program at the request of the Fed. 'The program will consist of a series of Treasury bills, apart from Treasury's current borrowing program, which will provide cash for use in the Federal Reserve initiatives,' Treasury said.
The Fed has announced a series of lending and liquidity initiatives during the past several quarters intended to address heightened liquidity pressures in the financial market, including enhancing its liquidity facilities this week.
'To manage the balance sheet impact of these efforts, the Federal Reserve has taken a number of actions, including redeeming and selling securities from the System Open Market Account portfolio,' the Treasury said.
Treasury said announcements of and participation in auctions conducted under the SFP will be governed by existing Treasury auction rules.
'Treasury will provide as much advance notification as possible regarding the timing, size and maturity of any bills auctioned for Supplementary Financing program purposes,' Treasury said.
The proceeds of a new program will be held in an account at the Federal Reserve Reserve Bank of New York. The New York Fed said the government's supplemental financial program would make available fresh funding to the central bank's efforts to stabilize markets."

Everyone knows that the source of a well run organization can be found in the excellent people that keep it running smoothly each and every day! For the past eighteen years, Divine Redeemer Lutheran Church & School has been blessed with such a person- Mrs. Renee Kandler. Though her official title is Chief Financial Officer, it won't surprise anyone to know that she very successfully wears many different "hats" of responsibility. As she prepares financial reports for church and school meetings, Mrs. Kandler continues to be one of the backbones of this organization!
Mrs. Kandler wasn't even thinking of going back to work full time while taking care of her two young children at the time, Rebecca and Ryan. But when the Business Manager position at Divine Redeemer Lutheran Church and School became available, she quickly found the Lord had special plans for her! She accepted the position and has been instrumental in the day-to-day activities of the church and school ever since. She has since gone back to school for several financial classes and now owns the title of Chief Financial Officer. Prior work experience included helping at her families' restaurant called "Kandler's on Keesus". She loves the family atmosphere of the school and presently is involved in bible studies at the church. She has been married to her husband, Rick, for the past 29 years and her children are now grown. Mrs. Kandler enjoys spending time on Lake Keesus and watching the Packers win!

How Many Blind People Have Been Hit By A Prius?
Back in the day, a VW Beetle was the best car to get you through an oil crisis. Everyone complained about safety, though. VW fixed that. Now, they're cool.
There must be a design solution for the too-quiet hybrid issue we can all come together on.
By the by, maybe legislators should be seeking solutions that benefit pedestrians of all sorts: like reducing emissions of lung cancer causing exhaust particles, constructing more sidewalks, and installing pedestrian crossings that better accommodate blind persons?
A bill intended to protect blind people and other pedestrians from the dangers posed by quiet cars will be introduced today in Congress.
The measure would require the Transportation Department to establish safety standards for hybrids and other vehicles that make little discernible noise, including an audible means for alerting people that cars are nearby.
"The beneficial trend toward more environmentally friendly vehicles has had the unintended effect of placing the blind and other pedestrians in danger," said Rep. Edolphus Towns (D-N.Y.), who is sponsoring the bill with Rep. Cliff Stearns (R-Fla.).
The National Federation of the Blind has pushed for the legislation to protect those who rely on their hearing to know when to cross the street.
Probably, noisy, smelly buses are a greater risk to pedestrians and bicyclists of any sort.
If you know better, bring on the numbers and we'll publish your comments (please include links).

Stand: The Etymology of 'Burger Backslider'
Update: Word is the bun has changed. I'm heading in later today to try it with the new bun. If this is true, Stand could well rank in my top 10 burger list. 1/19/2008
Address: 24 East 12th Street, New York NY 10003
Phone: 212-488-5900
URL: standburger.com
The Short Order: It coulda been a contender, but its gnarly baguette-tough bun inspires a new piece of burger phraseology here at AHT: The Backslider
Want Fries with That? Beats me. They look great in Bruni's post on the place, but I had the onion rings, which were rockin'.
To many New Yorkers, and certainly to foodbloggers, this burger is old news. I know it. Mea culpa. Stand opened ages ago. But, somehow, earlier this year, I lost my burger-blogging mojo.
I think I have it back. But not because of this burger.
Sure, it was good. I'll give it that.
Seven ounces of great-tasting, beefy flavored meat. Nice interplay of Dijon, red onion, and sweet homemade ketchup. And the lettuce, tomato, sliced pickle were certainly fresh enough.
But this burger's bun is UNFORGIVABLE.
The baguette-like conveyance that sandwiches the meat, cheese, and toppings is far too chewy. As with the worst overstuffed deli sandwiches, burger & co. squirt out the back end when you apply the tooth pressure required to bite through this gnarly bun.
From this day forward, and unless and until I can think of something better, all such burgers marked by this nasty trait will be known as "backsliders."
It's a shame, too, because this could be a great burger given a new bun.
* This is a damn shame because, according to Josh "Mr. Cutlets" Ozersky, I missed this burger when it was a 70-30 mixture of beef-to-fat. Dammit!

Project Description
Epilepsy is a devastating condition affecting over 50 million people worldwide. Patients with epilepsy suffer from reoccurring unprovoked seizures. The goal of current treatment practice is to enable patients to live unrestricted lives by controlling the seizures with anti-epileptic drugs – Epilepsy cannot be cured to date.
In order to someday be able to prevent the development of epilepsy, the multidisciplinary research project EPITARGET is focused on the process leading to epilepsy (epileptogenesis) in adults. The main hypothesis is that there are combinations of various causes, acting in parallel and/or in succession, that lead to epileptogenesis and the development of seizures. The central premise and vision is that by using a combinatorial approach to identify appropriate biomarkers that allow the prediction of the disease and by developing effective anti-epileptogenic therapeutics, patients at risk can be treated before they even have epilepsy. The project will focus on:
- identifying novel biomarkers and their combinations for epileptogenesis after potentially epileptogenic brain insults in clinically relevant animal models, such as traumatic brain injury (TBI) and status epilepticus (SE);
- exploring multiple basic mechanisms of epileptogenesis and their mutual interactions;
- and translating these findings towards the clinic by validating biomarkers in human samples accessible to the
EPITARGET - Targets and biomarkers for antiepileptogenesis

Image: An earthmover removes giant rocks off the only main road leading to hard-hit Beichuan county, China, 15 May 2008
Chinese officials have ordered thousands of people to evacuate a village near the epicenter of Monday's earthquake, amid conflicting reports that a dam has burst.
Witnesses say they are not sure whether the dam near Beichuan in the northern part of Sichuan province has failed, or whether a lake has overflowed its banks.
Authorities increased the official death toll Saturday to nearly 29,000. The actual number of dead is expected to surpass 50,000. Some 5 million people have lost their homes.
On Friday, a strong aftershock measuring 5.9 triggered landslides on recently-cleared roads leading to Wenchuan county, again cutting off roads and communications.

What Whey Protein Isolate
Are You Made Of?
If you are transforming from:
- Weekend warrior to serious competitor,
- Couch potato to fit and active,
- Overweight to weight loss success story,
- Health scare to glowing,
- Lacking strength & willpower to being physically mentally tough & strong,
Then the Whey Protein Isolate you buy & your diet is going to be very important to your success.
If you are what you eat, then it has to be clean and natural without the crap.
Here's why.
About 40% of your body is muscle and about 20% of that muscle is protein. Your body isn't as good at storing protein as it is fat. And after exercise, your muscles can start to oxidise. Your body is craving amino acids and proteins to stop catabolism and recover from muscle microtrauma.
The normal solution whey protein isolate suppliers offer is to sell a blend of protein with added amino such as BCAA, taurine, glycine, glutamine and the like. But the real problem with premixing in amino into whey protein isolate is that you are unable to control the dose timing and the mix that that is right for your body.
This gives sub-optimal nutrition results but is convenient if you don't know what you're doing and you don't care about maximising your nutrition.
If the additives in the WPI are crap you are going to feel nauseous and unwell which might make you binge eat or skip training. Say goodbye to those gains you have been working so hard to earn.
At Fitbit's our philosophy is the opposite approach to the major players in the market.
We are a back to basics whey protein isolate supplier and believe perfection is when you can't take anything more out, not add it in.
Our blends are clean, natural and minimal.
What's in
- Premium high-grade grass fed Australian protein
- Natural flavour
- Natural sweetener – stevia
- Natural colours
- Guar gum. (Used in vegan cooking)
Select the flavour you like to see the label and nutrition panel image above.

- Banned Sports Additives such as maca
- Dextrose

- Maltodextrin
- Palm oil
- Palm sugar
- Preservatives
- Saccharin
- Skim Milk Powder
- Sucralose
- Synthetic Additives

You see it's what is taken out that defines the best protein powder not what is added.
How to Take Our Whey Protein Isolate

Great product!The WPI is the cleanest product I've ever used. It gives great results and is an excellent post-workout protein shake!Daniel
WPIIts great to have access to real quality protein products that have not been loaded with numerous additives. As an ex fitness instructor I have kept in touch with the various protein products on the market for years. The WPI from fitbits is the best I have used.

Last night I watched this documentary about Maria Callas. I had a small sense that there was something tragic and sad about her life outside of opera, but I had no idea just how tender her story was. She existed in this space where she had attention, celebrity, adoration — but she didn't have the love that she wanted. In her last relationship, she was literally a commodity, a glittering novelty collected by a rich man who loved the idea of her.
The idea of her.
This led me to thinking about a recurring, spiraling conversation I often have with my friends. Our conversation is about humanity, and about our particular skill in honoring humanity. Too often, our default mode is to objectify, to make of each other a one-dimensional thing. The person in my way at the store. The person who is driving too fast. The person talking too much at the end of the day.
Another recurring and spiraling conversation I often have is about the role of massage therapy in health care, about how we can integrate the profession into the medical model in a way that elevates patient care. Believe it or not, watching that documentary brought both of these conversations together in my mind.
What I am hearing sometimes, even in my own head, is that we might be taking on the least desirable parts of the medical model. We might be turning people into objects. The frozen shoulder. The back spasms. The testicular cancer with distant metastasis.
While this objectification might be useful for a moment — we have to apply specific knowledge to be safe and effective, after all — it too easily becomes a habit. And hidden within this habit is the seed of what could be damaging cruelty.
Turning someone into a limited object is a door that opens onto a path. This path has so many stops along the way that drift us further and further from each other. Stops like: not listening with full attention and an open mind, ignoring someone's stated needs in favor of our own assumptions. In the darkest depths of the path as it winds through the shadow side that is in all of us are the -isms and oppressions that break our collective hearts.
I am in no way saying that integrating in the medical model will make us into a crueler, harsher profession. I am saying that constant vigilance is required. May of us went into massage therapy because we loved the idea of working with a whole person. Many medical professionals love this idea as well.
As Maria Callas grew into her talents and found fame and recognition, her personal life started to fall apart. As this profession grows into its next phase, we must be ever-aware of the state of our own being.
Maria Callas often spoke of herself as two different beings: Callas, the diva and performer, and Maria, the woman. By all accounts, she didn't find a way to integrate those beings. As we grow into next-level massage therapists, let's continue to find ways to integrate our two beings: the evidence-based practitioner with the human-loving soul seeking connection.

While I have my no-no list, Gerald Henderson seems to have found this Binghamton Bearcat's no-no zone.
Everyone has their no-no list. And if the Bulls want to re-live their glory days, they read this blog and follow it accordingly.
Stay the f*** away from these five guys:
1. B.J. Mullens, center, Ohio State. Had Mullens stayed four years at tOSU, he probably would have ended up as a Top 10 pick after developing his game. Instead, he came out after one underwhelming year that saw him fail to make his mark in the NCAA Tournament against an undersized Siena squad. I'd be more comfortable drafting Bryan Mullins with the 16th pick than the other guy.
2. Omri Casspi, small forward, Israel. Here's hoping the Bulls learned from foreign flops such as Thabo Sefolosha and Dragan Tarlac. Just say no.
3. Gerald Henderson, shooting guard, Duke. Henderson fits the John Paxson mold of draft pick. A three-year starter at a college hoops power that excelled in the NCAA Tournament. And while he is an exceptional athlete, he isn't an elite athlete and isn't the kind of shooter that can make up for it. The Bulls already have two guys like that: John Salmons and Luol Deng.
4. Austin Daye, small forward, Gonzaga. Big men that can shoot the rock draw comparisons of Dirk Nowitzki and Hedo Turkoglu. But being that soft makes me think he's more like Adam Morrison.
5. Toney Douglas, point guard/shooting guard, Florida State. He's a better ball-handler, defender and distributor than Ben Gordon. But he's not as good of a scorer. Undersized two-guards that can't score don't last long in the Association. Besides, when was the last time FSU produced a star NBA player?
Yeah, and don't date any of these guys either.

usage note for where
Where … at ( Where was he at? ) and where … to ( Where is this leading to? ) are often criticized as redundant because neither at nor to adds anything to the meaning of where, and sentences like the preceding ones are perfectly clear and standard without the final at or to. This criticism does not apply to where … from, which is fully standard: Where does the money come from? The constructions where … at and where … to occur in the speech of educated people but are rare in formal speech and edited writing.

Reprobing of an existing membrane is a convenient means to immunoblot for multiple proteins independently when only a limited amount of sample is available. It should be noted that for the best possible results a fresh blot is always recommended. Reprobing can be a valuable method but with each reprobing of a blot there is potential for increased background signal. Additionally, it is recommended that you verify the removal of the first antibody complex prior to reprobing so that signal attributed to binding of the new antibody is not leftover signal from the first immunoblotting experiment. This can be done by re-exposing the blot to ECL reagents and making sure there is no signal prior to adding the next primary antibody.
NOTE: Prepare solutions with reverse osmosis deionized (RODI) or equivalently purified water.

Protocol Id: 10
This protocol is intended for immunoprecipitation of native proteins for analysis by western immunoblot or kinase activity utilizing Protein A magnetic separation.
NOTE: Prepare solutions with reverse osmosis deionized (RODI) or equivalent grade water.
10X Cell Lysis Buffer: (#9803) To prepare 10 ml of 1X cell lysis buffer, add 1 ml cell lysis buffer to 9 ml dH2O, mix.
NOTE: Add 1 mM PMSF (#8553) immediately prior to use.
A cell lysate pre-clearing step is highly recommended to reduce non-specific protein binding to the Protein A Magnetic beads. Pre-clear enough lysate for test samples and isotype controls.
IMPORTANT: Pre-wash #73778 magnetic beads just prior to use:
Carefully remove the buffer once the solution is clear. Add 500 μl of 1X cell lysis buffer to the magnetic bead pellet, briefly vortex to wash the beads. Place tube back in magnetic separation rack. Remove buffer once solution is clear. Repeat washing step once more.
IMPORTANT: The optimal lysate concentration will depend on the expression level of the protein of interest. A starting concentration between 250 μg/ml-1.0 mg/ml is recommended.
IMPORTANT: Appropriate isotype controls are highly recommended in order to show specific binding in your primary antibody immunoprecipitation. Use Normal Rabbit IgG #2729 for rabbit polyclonal primary antibodies, Rabbit (DA1E) mAb IgG XP® Isotype Control #3900 for rabbit monoclonal primary antibodies, and Mouse (G3A1) mAb IgG1 Isotype Control #5415 for mouse monoclonal primary antibodies. Isotype controls should be concentration matched and run alongside the primary antibody samples
Proceed to one of the following specific set of steps.
NOTE: To minimize masking caused by denatured IgG heavy chains (~50 kDa), we recommend using Mouse Anti-Rabbit IgG (Light-Chain Specific) (D4W3E) mAb (#45262) or Mouse Anti-Rabbit IgG (Conformation Specific) (L27A9) mAb (#3678) (or HRP conjugate #5127). To minimize masking caused by denatured IgG light chains (~25 kDa), we recommend using Mouse Anti-Rabbit IgG (Conformation Specific) (L27A9) mAb (#3678) (or HRP conjugate #5127).

Afadin (D1Y3Z) Rabbit mAb recognizes endogenous levels of total afadin protein. Based on the protein sequence, this antibody is expected to recognize all afadin isoforms.Species Reactivity:
Human, Mouse, Rat, Monkey, Dog
Monoclonal antibody is produced by immunizing animals with a synthetic peptide corresponding to residues surrounding Arg1117 of human afadin protein.
In multicellular organisms, intercellular junctions play essential roles in tissue integrity and maintenance of cell polarity. Tight junctions (TJs) form a continuous barrier to fluids across the epithelium and endothelium (reviewed in 1). Adherens junctions (AJs) are dynamic structures that form cell-cell contacts linking cells into a continuous sheet (reviewed in 2). The actin filament-binding protein, Afadin, binds to nectin forming a connection to the actin cytoskeleton (3). AJs are formed when nectin assembles cadherin at the cell-cell adhesion site and these junctions are then involved in the formation and maintenance of TJs (4,5). Afadin has two splice variants: l-afadin, which is ubiquitously expressed, and s-afadin, which is expressed predominantly in neural tissue. s-Afadin is a shorter form lacking one of the three proline-rich regions found in l-afadin, as well as the carboxyl-terminal F-actin binding region (6). Human s-afadin is identical to AF-6, the ALL-1 fusion partner involved in acute myeloid leukemias (7). Recent work has also shown that afadin is involved in controlling the directionality of cell movement when it is localized at the leading edge of moving cells (8,9).

Microsoft Showing Zune Replacement At E3 (The Verge)
Microsoft will offer a sneak peek at its Zune replacement during E3 2012. The new music service, codenamed Woodstock, will continue Microsoft's shift away from the Zune brand towards the well known Xbox one. Insiders have revealed that Woodstock will be a cross-platform play, available to Windows 8, Android, iOS, and Xbox users, playable from a browser. The service won't require any browser plugins and is said to integrate deeply with Facebook, allowing friends to build group playlists and share tracks.
Nokia Struggling To Keep Up With Lumia 900 Demand (Electronista)
Nokia's UK Lumia 900 launch originally anticipated to launch April 27 has been bumped back to 'around May 14,' the reportedly the result of stronger than expected demand for the flagship Windows Phone 7 device in the US. The company has said that demand for the device is outstripping supply and that it is ramping up production of the Lumia 900 so that can strike a better balance between supply and demand. Strong demand is actually a relief.
Microsoft's Mobile Strategy Is Not Looking So Good (ReadWriteWeb)
As the future shifts toward mobile devices, things are not looking good for Microsoft. The most troubling sign is that even now, more than a year after Microsoft started shipping Windows Phone 7 devices, U.S. mobile customers are getting rid of Microsoft devices faster than they're buying new ones. According to comScore, in the three months ending in February, Microsoft's share of U.S. smartphone subscribers was 3.9%. That's down from 5.2% last November and 7.7% last February (a longer term look is even worse). Microsoft mobile devices just aren't good enough to demand attention.
The iPad Will Continue To Dominate Tablets, Windows Will Steal Share From Android (Forrester)
Tablets are rapidly becoming the primary device of choice for millions of people. Forrester Research says that sales of tablet computers worldwide are predicted to hit 375 million in 2016. That compares to 56 million tablets purchased worldwide in last year, or a compound annual growth rate of 46%. The iPad will represent one-third of all tablet purchases by 2016. Google's Android operating system will actually see a net decline in market share due to the launch of Microsoft Windows 8. That said, Microsoft's new tablet OS won't really start taking off until 2014. Are you spending more time on your tablet than your PC or laptop?

One of the things I always like carrying with me (in addition to the phone of course … because really who can live without it?!! definitely not me!) is my lipstick!! So I was super happy when I found this pendant from Cosmetic Hideaways because not only is super shiny, classy and pretty but I can also put my lip stick inside which is fantastic! I can quickly fix my lip colour at any time without having to go through my purse looking for it.
I have already gotten a lot of compliments wearing this pendant. It is so shiny that it really catches the eye. Love how it is simple and sophisticated. This makes it easy to wear with literally anything…. whether you want to dress more casual or more chic for the evening. It also looks amazing with dresses. I lately see myself wearing it with every outfit because it´s totally a no brainer!

Your chances here of getting an answer from Samsung is nil!!! For any admission of faulty design, one would need to get the agreement of the board of this company prior to stating this. Thus, Samsung will admit nothing.
Same here 2.5yrs after buying my ue40h5500 smart tv it has developed a purple patch the size of my hand in the top left corner.
Not happy what so ever. I bought a 2nd tv 4 months later for another room... It's only a matter of time before that one also ends up with this same problem.
I was really happy with the picture and sound quality that I was going to upgrade to the new Samsung 4k tv (to complement the new xbox x's)..... Now probably not. Looks like I'll invest in 2 new tvs from another Brand. Poor show Samsung!
Same problem here. I bought my tv at Costco...really disappointed in Samsung.
I bought it at Costco, too!! Not that it helps, as it failed after the two-year return period that Costco sets.
Well this is odd...I have exactly the same issue, however I had slightly knocked my panel a couple of times whilst hoovering and just assumed that's what had done it but at the same time thinking wow what a fragile piece of junk TV that such a small tap did this!
Raging is an understatement!
Also had a Samsung 8kg Ecobubble washing machine which was the most expensive and loudest piece of ***** washing machine I ever wasted my money on and a Samsung Microwave which was so bad at cooking anything you had to add at least three minutes extra. Sold the washing machine and the microwave in the last week. Needless to say I'll never buy anything by this sham company ever again. Wish people would wake up and realise these manufacturers are robbers without the decency to wear a mask!
My Samsung has same failure as previous customers. It lasted till after warranty expiration. For such an expensive item, I take advantage of an extended warranty and glad I did as this is the 2nd time a Samsung has failed. Replacement from extended warranty is an LG, which I hope has a better track record. A real shame for when you go to a big retail store, it seems Samsung has a superior picture compared to other tv's. Obviously Samsung should give existing customers an additional year warranty to compensate for this premature failure of components.
Same here - Costco 65" TV - Purple patches cropped up 2 months ago - out of warranty by 6 months - BOOOOO!!!
This IS greed if not addressed and fixed and sounds very suspect of programmed death after warranty which companies have done before and have been busted for. The thing is Samsung, if you do NOT respond to me and others here, we WILL NEVER buy another Samsung TV again. At least I'm not. I mean seriously... I have a freaken WALMART 40" SCEPTRE that I got for DIRT CHEAP which is 6 years old and it's still PERFECT!!!! WTF?!
I lost my contents insurance I'd had for 5 years because I made a claim for accidental damage as I'd very gently knocked my TV with a hoover hose which I thought had caused these purple patches until I stumbled upon this forum and realised the gravity of what was going on. My insurers then deemed me as too high risk to insure anymore. Double screwed 😞 Worse still they wouldn't pay anywhere near what a replacement set would've cost so triple screwed actually 😢
Well... just got off the phone with Samsung (US as I'm in the USA and I realize this is a UK forum) but they are less than helpful. Refuse to do anything. And yes, this started after the latest patch happened it seems which is very very suspect.
Oh well... I'll just join any class action lawsuit and turn this purple monster into a gaming monitor and relive my 80s messed up magnetized gaming TV display glory days XD

Back in October my very good firend and I chased the sunrise on the Kobarid Stol mountain. We woke up super early, ate our breakfast, packed our lunch, jumped into her Suzuki 4×4 and drove up the narly mountain road. We awaited the sunrise sipping our warm tea, sitting on mountain grass. The view was incredible. I didn't think I captured that quite good on photos as I was mesmerised by the beauty of what I was seeing, so the pictures I am sharing today, are of another very different day on the same mountain, that had me in awe.
On this day we didn't try to chase the sunrise, because there was no sun to be seen. It was a chilly, rainy and mystically infused morning. As we drove up the mountain, fog engulfed all of the village below as well as the mountain top. It was a sight to see. I felt like I was in another world. There were these tiny, fine little raindrops falling like rice from the sky. We decided to walk up to a small Beech forest, that is home to some stunning unusual Beech trees I've never seen before. If I didn't see the seeds that have fallen from it, I would never have known it was a Beech tree. The forest was another mystical world alltogether. Imagine Winterfell in autumn… something like that. To be honest as much as I try to capture the beauty of these places with my lens, I kind of get lost in the state of just endulging in that moment. So sometimes what I do manage to captrure doesn't do these places any justice. I need to work on that part, to be able to make good content as well as enjoy and experience what I'm seeing fully. I think I've improved this since October.
Dee and I are friends since second year of highschool. She's that one special friend that I know is gonna be right there with me forever. We don't see each other that often, but you know how these things go. You don't have to see your best friends every day, but when you do, it's like no time has passed at all. She basically lives in my favourite part of Slovenia, and I love to visit her.
In summertime we enjoy swimming in the crystal blue and green rivers, we climb misty mountains (sometimes at night in winter when a beautiful red moon decorates the sky), we run through the forest and have picknics on thick grass, listening to music and admiring sunsets. She loves to make banana bread, and she makes a damn good one. I'm drooling just thinking about it.
I miss her a lot and can't wait for our new adventures together. My favourite moment of 2016 was the weekend I spent at her place. We just always have a blast and we both share a passion for admiring stunning scenery.
Stay true,
More shots from the day:

I am glad to say that Westhost recently upgraded sendmail from 8.11.6 to 8.12.11. Thank you. However I have two questions:
1) Why did they not upgrade to Sendmail 8.13.x? Plenty of milters require 8.13 ahich was released on 06/20/2004. The latest stable version (8.13.6) was released on 03/22/2006.
2) While they included SASL support, they failed to include STARTTLS. Hopefully they will rebuild sendmail with STARTTLS as well. That way we can encrypt our login and passwords as well

Oh, I'll bring my LHBS guys something good too. I hate bringing something terrible to inflict upon them. The Brunch Milk Porter I made came out delightful.
Also, I just went back and rechecked the gravity on it. Still 1.008, which means it has been stable since 8/21. I suspect it isn't infected with anything that is chewing on the residual sugars.

The team all ran brilliantly finishing 3rd overall amongst the stiff competition, with Lucy receiving a bronze medal for the third fastest lap. This was the first time we had been invited to take part in the Leweston School Cross Country Relay competition and it proved to be an excellent and successful event for our Inter Girls' Team. It was a large meet with 75 teams competing across four age groups. Lucy went out first and gave the team a very good start with a particularly fast lap of 9.58.01 minutes. Flora went off second and maintained the team position running in 10.59.98. Georgina then took the third leg, again running impressively in a time of 10.31.94 to keep the team in the top group. Caroline ran the final leg, putting in a captain's determined run with a time of 10.20.08. As all age groups were running together we were not entirely sure of the final positions, although we knew we had run well as a team. Over hot chocolate, marshmallows and cake the team were awarded third place in the Inter Girls' competition receiving their medals from the Headmistress of Leweston. In addition, Lucy received a special award for the third fastest lap in the Inter Girls' competition. An outstanding performance from the whole team - well done!

It's hard to believe that 2017 is right around the corner. These remaining days are crucial for one reason: strategic planning. Whether that means ensuring you've invested in the right products/services or finalizing quarterly/yearly objectives, planning is essential—and time is of the essence. For VoIP-based businesses that have yet to iron out their 2017 strategic roadmap, we'll give you three things to do to ensure a positive and profitable start to the year.
Get a Fraud Detection Service: While there are plenty of things you can do to prevent VoIP fraud—use strong passwords, maximize use of your firewalls/ACLs, restrict call routes—the best way to ensure fraud prevention is with a market-leading fraud detection service. Such a service should support you with advanced monitoring, reporting, analytics and alerting capabilities that enable you to gain full insight and transparency into your VoIP traffic. If you're worried about budget, rest assured that a leading fraud detection service, offered from the right provider, can be priced at just a fraction of others on the market. Considering the pattern of disastrous cyber-attacks occurring every year, you'll want to ensure you're prepared for 2017.
Invest in an End User Portal: The customer experience is and always will be key for business. In fact, about 90 percent of companies today compete solely on the basis of the customer experience. This should of course include your own organization, which is why a brandable end-user portal is crucial as you embrace a new year. This service allows your customers to have full control over their VoIP services via a platform that can be specially branded for their business. Empowering your customers with greater self-service allows you to cut down on time and costs, while increasing brand awareness and reputability.
Reassess Your E911 Service: Research shows that most 911 calls today come from cell phone networks, yet many emergency service infrastructure lags. E911 services are vital in today's mobile-first world, offering users the ability to easily set E911 alert notifications that can be added, updated or removed in real-time. At VoIP Innovations, alerts can also be added to both on-net and off-net numbers.
In the end, there are countless steps you can (and should!) be taking to ensure your best year yet. Here's one last thing you should do to stay ahead in the game: keep up with our blog to stay educated on best practices and need-to-know information within this ever-evolving industry.

Claude Julien finds himself once again taking heat from fans and media. Why? Because in an awful effort against the Canadiens Claude dropped Jagr to a line with Campbell and Thornton, moved Seguin back to winger, and for some reason kept the Lucic-Krejci-Horton line perfectly in tact.
Fans are mad becuase the Bruins arn't showing the effort they have in past years. And Julien isn't doing anything about it. He would rather let the lines ride and let the mediocrity continue. For example Milan Lucic only has one goal in his last twenty two games. Horton doesn't want to make contact any more and though he has been scoring a few goals, how many wide open nets has he missed? Yet Claude kept the line intact. As a matter of fact it was the only line he did keep in tact. Julien continues to keep Krejci on the line with two wingers who don't deserve to play there.
Claudes stubbornness often gets in the way of the Bruins success. Why not put Jagr with Krejci? It makes the most sense and the last thing the Bruins should do is waste Jagr's talent mucking it up on a line with Campbell and Thornton. Now, according to reports, Seguin has been dropped down to a line with Paille and Campbell. It doesn't make sense. These are needed points against a mediocre team like the Hurricanes.
But with Julien's lines the Bruins have no shot at a cup. Will he change the lines at all? It won't happen tonight as these are the predicted lines:
