Over the years, among the most useful handguns I have used have been five-shot revolvers. Light, handy and powerful enough for most chores, these are excellent defensive revolvers. Another idiom I have used has been the 4-inch barrel kit gun—usually in .22 caliber. A favorite recreational shooter has been the Smith and Wesson Regulation Police, a five-shot .38 with 4-inch barrel.
A few weeks ago, I had my first experience with a revolver that combines the best attributes of the Kit Gun and the light carrying five-shot revolver. The Ruger SP101 with 4-inch barrel is chambered in .357 Magnum. This 30-ounce revolver packs a lot of punch—up to 560 foot-pounds. The SP101 is easily among the most versatile handguns in my gun safe. My first concern is the worst case scenario. For use in personal defense against two- or four-legged threats, the SP101 is a great choice for the trail. For recreational shooting, small game hunting and informal target shooting, the SP101 is also a great handgun.
The Ruger features all stainless construction, an underlugged 4-inch barrel and fully adjustable rear sights. The front sight is a fiber optic type that aids in visibility and rapid sight acquisition. While many small frame handguns are not well suited to the .357 Magnum cartridge, this handgun is an exception. The combination of heavy 4-inch barrel and recoil dampening grips make for good control. Is the Ruger SP101 the handgun to test maximum effort handloads? Of course not, but for the occasional saving shot, the ratio of weight and power is unbeatable.
Revolvers such as the SP101 are at their best when regarded as nice .38 Special revolvers. With target grade loads such as the Winchester 158-grain SWC at about 800 fps the revolver is docile to use and fire. Accuracy is more than adequate for taking rabbit, squirrel, and other small game. A treed possum or raccoon might be better taken with a good quality hollow point such as the Winchester .38 Special 125-grain JHP offered in the white box USA line.
Target loads are mild and pleasant. Move to a .38 Special +P such as the 125-grain Silvertip and you have a reasonably powerful home defense loading. The .38 Special is widely regarded as the most powerful cartridge the occasional shooter may handle well, and I agree. With the Ruger's hand-filling grips and well-distributed weight, you have an excellent all-around handgun.
A Superior Design
A few years ago, Ruger introduced the SP101 revolver with a heavy-duty frame and a cylinder strong enough to remove any doubt as to the strength of the revolver. The SP101 is regarded as the strongest five-shot .357 Magnum revolver ever made. Ruger currently offers the revolver with fixed sights and a 3-inch barrel for use in concealed carry. This is an excellent concealed carry revolver.
The 4-inch barrel version with adjustable sights, however, is a personal favorite. This revolver is among a very few in the size and weight class with sufficient accuracy and power to make the addition of adjustable sights worthwhile. While intended as a field gun, it is clearly a good choice for home defense and by no means too large for concealed carry in a proper holster. The double-action trigger is smooth and controllable making good defense shooting possible. The single action press is crisp, which allows for good long-range results.
The revolver handles the .38 Special cartridge with excellent accuracy. The .357 Magnum cartridge is 1/10th-inch longer and will not chamber in a .38 Special revolver, while the .38 will chamber and fire normally in a Magnum cylinder. This makes for great versatility. Powder-puff loads and snake shot may be used. The revolver doesn't rely upon recoil energy for operation and a wide range of power levels are available.
While the SP 101 has many good features, the ball indent that aids in locking the chamber is a good addition to the revolver. A custom grade feature of this additional lockup is part of the reason for the Ruger's accuracy potential. The grips are another outstanding feature. Likewise, the fiber optic front sight is especially attractive.
When firing the Ruger, I tested quite a few .38 Special cartridges. A ratio of 20 .38s for every .357 Magnum is a good practice regiment. However, I also fired several Magnum loads. I will carry these loads when hiking, taking long walks and for personal defense. The first was a very interesting load from Liberty Ammunition. Using a frangible 50-grain bullet this load demonstrated a startling 2,050 fps. Works for me! This is an ideal low penetration load for home defense.
Next was Cor Bon's 110-grain JHP. This is going to be the carry load. This load exhibited 1,410 fps from the Ruger's 4-inch barrel. Ruger has a reputation for demonstrating greater velocity than other handguns of a similar barrel length, and this revolver is no exception. A 15-yard five-shot group with the Cor Bon 110-grain JHP went into 1.25 inches.
As a heavier load for use in personal defense, the Winchester 158-grain JHP was loaded. Average velocity was 1250 fps. This is a load with deep penetration that also shows good expansion. I also used a number of my own handloads using the Matt's Bullets (mattsbullets.com) 178-grain Keith-style bullet at 1,020 fps with a heavy load in the .38 Special case—not for .38 revolvers. This is my big dog and small bear load. At a long 100 yards this, load gives the trainer shooter excellent accuracy.
Packing the Ruger
I was surprised to find the Ruger fit my Don Hume 721 holster (molded for the K frame Smith and Wesson) perfectly. The Don Hume is famously tight, and a slight break in is needed, so the Ruger worked fine. The strong belt clip allows good concealed carry. For carrying in the field, the thumbreak H 721 Don Hume is a great holster. The Ruger packs light and offers plenty of power. As a go-anywhere do-anything revolver, the Ruger is hard to beat.

Last month, we were honored to attend and sponsor the CBRE Americas Summit in Denver, where we had the chance to connect and engage with many of you. One of the most memorable highlights from the event for us was The Conversation with world-renowned restaurateur and entrepreneur, Danny Meyer, who was named one of Time's 100 most influential people this year.
We were skeptical at first thinking about how someone from the world of restaurants would have anything of relevance to share with the real estate industry. Was this going to be a cooking demonstration? Danny did share a recipe, of course; one that can cook up success in just about any business – including ours.
Danny's recipe for business success has two main ingredients. The first is technical prowess – how well do you do your job? How qualified are you to do it? These days, as Danny explained, technical prowess is table stakes. Simply being the best when it comes to technical prowess, however, isn't enough anymore for most businesses.
This is where the second ingredient comes in. This second ingredient, Danny emphasized, is "the power of hospitality." In other words, how do you make people feel in the course of doing your job? How well do you connect with them and understand the emotions at play in their world? Danny believes that, for any business, the ultimate balance is 49% technical and 51% hospitality.
In our world, hospitality means creating a truly customized, client-focused experience that understands how big of a role emotion plays in almost every decision and project. The power of hospitality is where all businesses, not just restaurants, stand out and differentiate themselves. And it's certainly how we strive to do things here at Pure with our Build To Suit You approach.
If you haven't read it yet, Danny's book, "Setting the Table," is a must-read for anyone in business, and a great overview of how he values emotional mastery. You can hear Danny speak about the importance of emotional mastery at the video here.
From all of us at Pure Development – Happy Holidays!

Mohammed moves on to National semis
Nabeel Mohammed is planning to turn his 2016 disastrous final campaign into something positive in the Men's Singles of the Bmobile National Open Tennis Championship at the National Racquet Centre in Tacarigua this time.
It was so close for him to claim the precious metal at the Nelson Mandela Park Courts in St Clair, yet so far away as Luke De Caires snatched it from his grasp, back then.
Yesterday, however, Mohammed made another step toward the title for another time, turning back a battling Javier Lewis 6-2, 6-2 to advance to the semi-final on court six. He joins number No 1 seed Akiel Duke who defeated Adam Ramkissoon 6-3, 6-2 only the day before, and fourth seed Vaughn Wilson who earned a final-four berth by virtue of clobbering Kristyan Valentine 6-0, 6-2 on Tuesday evening.
In the Men's Doubles, the team of Ramkissoon and Keshan Moonasar progressed to the semifinal, courtesy of a convincing 6-2, 6-2 triumph over the pair of Che Andrews and Valentine on court one.
On court two the men's veterans duo of Kendall Cuffy and Richard Mc Letchie was victorious over Dion Auguste and Rickey Villaroel 6-4, 6-4 in the veteran men's doubles.

Critic's Picks: Tim Burton's Films Ranked Worst to Best
From the ridiculous (a major misfire of a remake) to the sublime (a freaky fairy tale starring Johnny Depp), THR film critic Stephen Dalton ranks the iconic director's work as his latest fantasy spectacular, 'Miss Peregrine's Home for Peculiar Children,' hits theaters.
Planet of the Apes
An ungainly twist on a simian sci-fi classic, Burton's effects-driven reboot lacks the originality and cult appeal of its 1968 blueprint. Mark Wahlberg does a decent job filling Charlton Heston's shoes as an astronaut who crash-lands on a post-apocalyptic monkey world. But Burton's quirky, visionary voice gets lost in the mechanics of a boorish action blockbuster.
Dark Shadows
Based on a schlocky late 1960s TV soap, Burton's overstuffed family saga stars Johnny Depp as the recently reawakened vampire patriarch of a dysfunctional New England dynasty. Despite ace work from a stellar cast including Michelle Pfeiffer, Chloe Grace Moretz and Miss Peregrine star Eva Green, Burton struggles to balance campy humor and morbid horror
Alice in Wonderland
Burton's muddled but hugely lucrative Lewis Carroll adaptation stars Mia Wasikowska as Alice, a 19-year-old Victorian debutante escaping creepy suitors by fleeing into a phantasmagorical underworld. This all-star adaptation is a triumph of psychedelic CGI effects over emotional heart and narrative logic, but it still earned two Oscars and over a billion dollars, Burton's biggest box-office haul to date.
Big Eyes
Burton smuggles some of his favorite themes and stylistic tics into this modest but appealing biopic about the enduring allure of bad art. Amy Adams earned a Golden Globe for playing Margaret Keane, whose kitsch paintings became a huge success in 1950s California, while her suave but unscrupulous husband Walter (Christoph Waltz) claimed credit.
Pee-Wee's Big Adventure
Burton's offbeat feature debut is a playfully surreal vehicle for comedian Paul Reubens and his childlike alter ego Pee-wee Herman. A feast of dayglo kitsch and movie-buff in-jokes pepper the slender, cheerfully goofy plot. Reubens fell from grace after being arrested in a porn cinema in 1991, but he remained part of Burton's ensemble company.
Miss Peregrine's Home for Peculiar Children
Burton's latest fantasy spectacular gives the beloved Ransom Riggs novel a dazzling 3D remix, with mixed results. The visual effects are state-of-the-art while the ensemble cast boasts heavyweight names including Eva Green, Samuel L. Jackson, Terence Stamp, Judi Dench and Alison Janney. But the story walks an uneasy line between action thriller and Harry Potter-ish magicfest.
Sleepy Hollow
Based on Washington Irving's much-filmed short story The Legend of Sleepy Hollow, Burton's handsome supernatural retro-thriller stars Johnny Depp as a scientifically minded detective attempting to explain a string of ghostly killings by a headless horseman. Shooting in England for the first time, Burton delivers stylish visuals but gets lost in a confused, choppy plot.
Mars Attacks!
Inspired by a series of vintage collector cards, Burton's sprawling all-star parody of 1950s alien-invasion movies is an ungainly, overblown but sporadically hilarious grand folly that earned mixed reviews and modest commercial returns. Relishing his twin roles, Jack Nicholson heads an all-star ensemble cast including Glenn Close, Annette Bening, Pierce Brosnan and Natalie Portman.
Charlie and the Chocolate Factory
With strong hints of Michael Jackson, Johnny Depp plays disturbingly child-like chocolate tycoon Willy Wonka in Burton's eye-watering remake of Roald Dahl's beloved children's classic. Sprinkled with Danny Elfman's witty songs, this sumptuous pageant is overstuffed with digital razzle-dazzle, but it earned mostly positive reviews and almost half a billion dollars.
Corpse Bride
Returning to the stop-motion style of The Nightmare Before Christmas, this time as co-director with Mike Johnson, Burton shot this ghoulish romantic fable in London back to back with Charlie and the Chocolate Factory. Regular collaborators Johnny Depp and Helena Bonham Carter provide the voices for a newlywed couple whom death cannot part.
Big Fish
Following his disastrous Planet of the Apes reboot, Burton clawed back some goodwill with a colorful, heart-warming literary adaptation about an ailing Deep South patriarch struggling to reconnect with his estranged son. Originally earmarked for Spielberg, this Forrest Gump-style fantasy for adults co-stars Ewan McGregor, Albert Finney and Billy Crudup.
Remaking and expanding his 1984 short film debut, Burton plays to his signature strengths with a monochrome 3D stop-motion animation about young Victor Frankenstein and his re-animated bull terrier Sparky. Paying stylistic homage to Universal's classic monster movies, this darkly funny Oscar nominee features Burton regulars Martin Landau and Winona Ryder in the vocal cast.
Batman Returns
Burton's second Bat-film again stars Michael Keaton as the dysfunctional superhero alongside Michelle Pfeiffer's mentally unhinged Catwoman and Danny DeVito's cackling, waddling, cartoonish Penguin. Granted more creative freedom after the huge success of Batman, the director amps up both the comedy and the violence, earning a critical backlash but creating a more definitively Burton-esque mood.
The Nightmare Before Christmas
Not directed by Burton, but conceived by him and a key part of his neo-Expressionist canon, this visually striking collaboration with stop-frame animation veteran Henry Selick is a deliciously macabre musical ghost story. Based on one of Burton's poems, The Nightmare Before Christmas is now an alternative seasonal classic and the first stop-motion feature to be entirely converted to 3D.
Taking the caped crusader back to psychological basics, Burton laid the groundwork for Christopher Nolan with this hugely lucrative symphony in comic-book noir. Michael Keaton's caped crusader is a brooding introvert, leaving Jack Nicholson to steal the film (and a hefty chunk of its $400 million take) as a larger-than-life Joker, prancing and preening to a gloriously funky Prince score.
Sweeney Todd: The Demon Barber of Fleet Street
Burton was the natural choice to bring fellow Anglophile Stephen Sondheim's macabre musical bloodbath to the screen in this rousing, full-blooded adaptation. Regular leading man Johnny Depp channels David Bowie as the homicidal hairdresser on a razor-wielding rampage of revenge through Victorian London, aided by Helena Bonham Carter's gleefully cannibalistic pie-shop owner.
A breakthrough critical and commercial hit for Burton and his future collaborators, Michael Keaton and Winona Ryder, Beetlejuice began as a much darker drama about a dead newlywed couple. But Burton reworked the story into an irreverent afterlife slapstick farce, helping to define his signature style. Keaton's scene-stealing title character only occupies less than 20 minutes of screen time.
Ed Wood
A love letter from one Hollywood oddball to another, Ed Wood stars Depp again as the infamous 1950s trash director, alongside an Oscar-winning Martin Landau as ailing horror legend Bela Lugosi. Burton's ravishing monochrome biopic is a much slicker movie than anything Wood ever produced but, appropriately enough, it died at the box office.
Edward Scissorhands
A tragicomic contemporary fairy tale about a metal-fingered misfit looking for love in brightly painted suburbia, Burton's most personal film remains a near-perfect distillation of his creative obsessions. The first in a career-spanning run of collaborations with Johnny Depp also features Depp's then-girlfriend Winona Ryder and a fitting swansong role by Burton's screen hero, Vincent Price.

Dr Goodfellow has been a key member of the Company's management team and a member of the Board since 1999 and was previously Commercial Director of the Company. David Evans, Chairman of Scancell, said: "I am very pleased to announce Richard's appointment to the position of Chief Operating Officer. Scancell will continue to benefit from the skills and experience that Richard brings to the Company as it moves forward to achieve its stated objectives."

Scancell's first cancer vaccine SCIB1 is being developed for the treatment of melanoma and is expected to enter clinical trials in 2010. Treating cancer by vaccination allows small non-toxic doses of a vaccine to be administered to a patient, stimulating an immune response. Effective cancer vaccines need to target dendritic cells to stimulate both parts of the cellular immune system; the helper cell system where inflammation is stimulated at the tumour site; and the cytotoxic T-lymphocyte or CTL response where immune system cells are primed to recognise and kill specific cells. A limitation of many cancer vaccines currently in development is that they cannot specifically target dendritic cells in vivo. Several groups have demonstrated successful vaccination by growing dendritic cells ex vivo, pulsing them with tumour antigens and re-infusing them. However, this procedure is patient specific, time consuming and expensive. Scancell has developed its breakthrough patent protected ImmunoBody® technology to overcome these limitations. An ImmunoBody® is a human antibody or fusion protein engineered to express helper cell and CTL epitopes from tumour antigens over-expressed by cancer cells. Antibodies are ideal vectors for carrying T cell epitopes from tumour antigens as they have long half-lives and can effectively target dendritic cells via their Fc receptors, allowing efficient stimulation of both helper and CTL responses. The Immunobody® technology can be adapted to provide the basis for treating any tumour type and may also be of potential utility in the development of vaccines against hepatitis, HIV and other chronic infectious diseases.

When I was a kid there was a commercial for the Detroit Zoo where all the animals where rushing around getting ready for opening day and the announcer was saying, "five minutes folks, just five minutes." There were blue painted elephant tracks to follow and a bear statue with a hole in the middle for climbing and curling up inside. Most importantly there was a giant fountain with two bears standing and lots of places for coin tossing! It is amazing how powerful some memories of childhood can be.
A nice weather trip to Michigan is not complete without a visit to the zoo! We had two fabulous friends meet up with us and the kids had a blast! I missed the shot but at one point the three oldest where all holding iphones and taking pics of the animals. You can decide whether that is scary or cute! And I actually brought my camera! Thanks to my new Kelly Moore bag! Just snaps but since I NEVER bring my camera anywhere it is fun to document!

The kids love visiting the new office.
It is pretty great. We have free cookies.
Sundin Family Adventures
Ginette and I put a lot of thought into our kids' names. Some would (accurately) say too much thought. I'm talking multiple meetings, collaborative spreadsheets, naming "rules", etc. Look, it's a BIG DEAL naming a kid alright?
So what are we naming baby Sundin #3? After much consideration we're going with…
Yup. Read it again. Mull it over. We certainly did.
So why August Milton?
Well August was on our short list when we were deciding on a name for Sebastian a few years ago so we decided to revisit it.
Like Dayla and Sebastian, August is not a super popular name. It peaked in the 1880's but has seen a slight comeback lately.
As a comparison Sebastian was the 64th most popular boy's name in 2012. It's been on steady climb for the the past three decades after languishing in prissy security for a century.
August was a rock star name way back in the day and has sort of made a come back but still only ranked at #333 in US boy name popularity in 2012.
Another interesting "August" fact is that it means venerable (distinguished, great) which is the same meaning as Sebastian. In fact, both names come from the same root, just in different languages. Sebastian traces back to the Greek word for venerable, while August is a Latin word.
Finally, August has always been an important month for us. It's the birthday month for me, Dayla, Simon (brother-in-law), Alex (brother's fiancée), and my Grandma. It's also the month Ginette and I were married.
So why Milton for the middle name? I'll tell you we really considered it as a first name but we don't think we're cool enough to pull it off. If we were more hipster parents we would have totally done it.
The name Milton has been on a death spiral since 1910. It fell out of the top 1000 list soon after Office Space came out and introduced us to THIS Milton and his red Swingline stapler.
The main reason we chose Milton is because it has strong family ties for both Ginette and me.
Milton was the first name of Ginette's grandpa (Milton Roesner), the middle name of my dad (Steve Milton Sundin), and the first name of my grandpa (Milton Victor Sundin) and great grandpa (Milton Carl Sundin). Not only did all these men share a name, they were also respectable men, men we are proud to name our son after.
One last little tidbit. August's great, great grandpa, Milton Carl Sundin, emigrated from Sweden in the late 1800's. This was right around the time the name August peaked in the United States. However August has stayed perennially popular in Sweden. In fact, August and Sebastian are close together in rankings for Swedish boy names in 2012.
We can't wait to meet August in just a couple weeks.

One of the topics touched upon by Eric deCarbonnel in the earlier article discussing the potential, if not necessarily probable absent further validation, implications of the Exchange Stabilization Fund, is that of the nature of AIDS. Which got us thinking. While we won't necessarily go into the implications proposed by none other than Chuck Palahniuk in his book Rant (word search Kissinger, especially what Neddy Nelson has to say on the topic), it made us recall that particular National Security Study Memorandum, aka NSSM 200, better known as "The Kissinger Report" authored on December 10, 1974 and immediately classified under Executive Order 11652 until 1989, titled simply, "Implications of Worldwide Population Growth For U.S. Security and Overseas Interests." What did the report say and why is it relevant, especially in our day and age when so many believe that all important substance - black gold - may have peaked? Well, since it has 123 pages full of very, very curious information as pertains to how US foreign policy is truly styled, we will leave it up to our readers to make their own conclusions, but here are some preliminary observations to help them on their way...
The basic thesis of the memorandum was that population growth in the least developed countries (LDCs) is a concern to U.S. national security, because it would tend to risk civil unrest and political instability in countries that had a high potential for economic development. The policy gives "paramount importance" to population control measures and the promotion of contraception among 13 populous countries, to control rapid population growth which the US deems inimical to the socio-political and economic growth of these countries and to the national interests of the United States, since the "U.S. economy will require large and increasing amounts of minerals from abroad", and these countries can produce destabilizing opposition forces against the United States. It recommends the US leadership to "influence national leaders" and that "improved world-wide support for population-related efforts should be sought through increased emphasis on mass media and other population education and motivation programs by the U.N., USIA, and USAID."
Thirteen countries are named in the report as particularly problematic with respect to U.S. security interests: India, Bangladesh, Pakistan, Indonesia, Thailand, the Philippines, Turkey, Nigeria, Egypt, Ethiopia, Mexico, Colombia, and Brazil. These countries are projected to create 47 percent of all world population growth.
The report advocates the promotion of education and contraception and other population control measures. It also raises the question of whether the U.S. should consider preferential allocation of surplus food supplies to states that are deemed constructive in use of population control measures.
Some of the key insights of report are controversial:
"The U.S. economy will require large and increasing amounts of minerals from abroad, especially from less developed countries [see National Commission on Materials Policy, Towards a National Materials Policy: Basic Data and Issues, April 1972]. That fact gives the U.S. enhanced interest in the political, economic, and social stability of the supplying countries. Wherever a lessening of population pressures through reduced birth rates can increase the prospects for such stability, population policy becomes relevant to resource supplies and to the economic interests of the United States. . . . The location of known reserves of higher grade ores of most minerals favors increasing dependence of all industrialized regions on imports from less developed countries. The real problems of mineral supplies lie, not in basic physical sufficiency, but in the politico-economic issues of access, terms for exploration and exploitation, and division of the benefits among producers, consumers, and host country governments" [Chapter III-Minerals and Fuel].
Whether through government action, labor conflicts, sabotage, or civil disturbance, the smooth flow of needed materials will be jeopardized. Although population pressure is obviously not the only factor involved, these types of frustrations are much less likely under conditions of slow or zero population growth" [Chapter III-Minerals and Fuel].
"Populations with a high proportion of growth. The young people, who are in much higher proportions in many LDCs, are likely to be more volatile, unstable, prone to extremes, alienation and violence than an older population. These young people can more readily be persuaded to attack the legal institutions of the government or real property of the 'establishment,' 'imperialists,' multinational corporations, or other-often foreign-influences blamed for their troubles" [Chapter V, "Implications of Population Pressures for National Security].
"We must take care that our activities should not give the appearance to the LDCs of an industrialized country policy directed against the LDCs. Caution must be taken that in any approaches in this field we support in the LDCs are ones we can support within this country. "Third World" leaders should be in the forefront and obtain the credit for successful programs. In this context it is important to demonstrate to LDC leaders that such family planning programs have worked and can work within a reasonable period of time." [Chapter I, World Demographic Trends].
The kicker:
The report advises, "In these sensitive relations, however, it is important in style as well as substance to avoid the appearance of coercion."
And much more...
So just what do you call when Dr. Mengele applies the principles of eugenics, only not to his own population, but to everybody else's? We have no idea although it certainly sounds like yet another crack pot, tinfoil conspiracy theory.
For those who enjoy factual historical documents, here are some other of the good Doctor's (Kissinger, not Mengele) observations:
Because of the momentum of population dynamics, reductions in birth rates affect total numbers only slowly. High birth rates in the recent past have resulted in a high proportion the youngest age groups, so that there will continue to be substantial population increases over many years even if a two-child family should become the norm in the future. Policies to reduce fertility will have their main effects on total numbers only after several decades. However, if future numbers are to be kept within reasonable bounds, it is urgent that measures to reduce fertility be started and made effective in the 1970's and 1980's. Moreover, programs started now to reduce birth rates will have short run advantages for developing countries in lowered demands on food, health and educational and other services and in enlarged capacity to contribute to productive investments, thus accelerating development.
U.N. estimates use the 3.6 billion population of 1970 as a base (there are nearly 4 billion now) and project from about 6 billion to 8 billion people for the year 2000 with the U.S. medium estimate at 6.4 billion. The U.S. medium projections show a world population of 12 billion by 2075 which implies a five-fold increase in south and southeast Asia and in Latin American and a seven-fold increase in Africa, compared with a doubling in east Asia and a 40% increase in the presently developed countries (see Table I). Most demographers, including the U.N. and the U.S. Population Council, regard the range of 10 to 13 billion as the most likely level for world population stability, even with intensive efforts at fertility control. (These figures assume, that sufficient food could be produced and distributed to avoid limitation through famines.)
Growing populations will have a serious impact on the need for food especially in the poorest, fastest growing LDCs. While under normal weather conditions and assuming food production growth in line with recent trends, total world agricultural production could expand faster than population, there will nevertheless be serious problems in food distribution and financing, making shortages, even at today's poor nutrition levels, probable in many of the larger more populous LDC regions. Even today 10 to 20 million people die each year due, directly or indirectly, to malnutrition. Even more serious is the consequence of major crop failures which are likely to occur from time to time.
Countries with large population growth cannot afford constantly growing imports, but for them to raise food output steadily by 2 to 4 percent over the next generation or two is a formidable challenge. Capital and foreign exchange requirements for intensive agriculture are heavy, and are aggravated by energy cost increases and fertilizer scarcities and price rises. The institutional, technical, and economic problems of transforming traditional agriculture are also very difficult to overcome.
In addition, in some overpopulated regions, rapid population growth presses on a fragile environment in ways that threaten longer-term food production: through cultivation of marginal lands, overgrazing, desertification, deforestation, and soil erosion, with consequent destruction of land and pollution of water, rapid siltation of reservoirs, and impairment of inland and coastal fisheries.
Rapid population growth is not in itself a major factor in pressure on depletable resources (fossil fuels and other minerals), since demand for them depends more on levels of industrial output than on numbers of people. On the other hand, the world is increasingly dependent on mineral supplies from developing countries, and if rapid population frustrates their prospects for economic development and social progress, the resulting instability may undermine the conditions for expanded output and sustained flows of such resources.
Rapid population growth creates a severe drag on rates of economic development otherwise attainable, sometimes to the point of preventing any increase in per capita incomes. In addition to the overall impact on per capita incomes, rapid population growth seriously affects a vast range of other aspects of the quality of life important to social and economic progress in the LDCs.
The universal objective of increasing the world's standard of living dictates that economic growth outpace population growth. In many high population growth areas of the world, the largest proportion of GNP is consumed, with only a small amount saved. Thus, a small proportion of GNP is available for investment - the "engine" of economic growth. Most experts agree that, with fairly constant costs per acceptor, expenditures on effective family planning services are generally one of the most cost effective investments for an LDC country seeking to improve overall welfare and per capita economic growth. We cannot wait for overall modernization and development to produce lower fertility rates naturally since this will undoubtedly take many decades in most developing countries, during which time rapid population growth will tend to slow development and widen even more the gap between rich and poor.
And why all this is relevant for good ole' humanitarian Uncle Sam:
The political consequences of current population factors in the LDCs - rapid growth, internal migration, high percentages of young people, slow improvement in living standards, urban concentrations, and pressures for foreign migration ?? are damaging to the internal stability and international relations of countries in whose advancement the U.S. is interested, thus creating political or even national security problems for the U.S. In a broader sense, there is a major risk of severe damage to world economic, political, and ecological systems and, as these systems begin to fail, to our humanitarian values.
What are the stakes? We do not know whether technological developments will make it possible to feed over 8 much less 12 billion people in the 21st century. We cannot be entirely certain that climatic changes in the coming decade will not create great difficulties in feeding a growing population, especially people in the LDCs who live under increasingly marginal and more vulnerable conditions. There exists at least the possibility that present developments point toward Malthusian conditions for many regions of the world.
But even if survival for these much larger numbers is possible, it will in all likelihood be bare survival, with all efforts going in the good years to provide minimum nutrition and utter dependence in the bad years on emergency rescue efforts from the less populated and richer countries of the world. In the shorter run -- between now and the year 2000 -- the difference between the two courses can be some perceptible material gain in the crowded poor regions, and some improvement in the relative distribution of intra- country per capita income between rich and poor, as against permanent poverty and the widening of income gaps. A much more vigorous effort to slow population growth can also mean a very great difference between enormous tragedies of malnutrition and starvation as against only serious chronic conditions.
And it gets even better:
There is an alternative view which holds that a growing number of experts believe that the population situation is already more serious and less amenable to solution through voluntary measures than is generally accepted. It holds that, to prevent even more widespread food shortage and other demographic catastrophes than are generally anticipated, even stronger measures are required and some fundamental, very difficult moral issues need to be addressed.

BARCELONA, Spain--Skype has at long last come to Windows Phone, and here at Mobile World Congress, I got a closer look at the beta version (the "gold" version releases in April.)
The app fits closely with the look and feel I'd envision for the mobile platform, with larger icons, swipe-through screens, and the trademark Windows Phone font. Features-wise, you'll be able to make voice and video calls over IP, so calls are free if you call other Skype users. Alternatively, you can call out to land line and mobile phones if you buy Skype credit.
Video chats occur in full screen, landscape mode only, and onscreen controls let you do things like mute the call and switch from the front-facing to rear-facing camera. You're also able to engage in IM conversation while you're on a call, and check out your contact's profile and other information without losing the connection. Call forwarding and group chat are also supported.
There's a handful of things you can't do with Skype beta that you will be able to do in April, like conference calling and adding new contacts. Even when the full version does emerge, you still won't be able to send SMS messages or transfer files.

Am I still an Unpatriotic Traitor? That's what you called me when I said let the inspections play out, let them continue. But no, you said "enough was enough". You told me Saddam was building this apocalyptic arsenal. He had VX and Sarin and Anthrax and Mustard Gas and Salmonella and The Cooties. You told me was capable of launching a biological attack at the drop of a hat. You told me he presented a clear and imminent threat to my security. You told me to gift-wrap my house in Saran-wrap and Duct Tape.

This new product is a 50A Buck-Boost DC-DC converter used for charging a 12/24V service battery in vehicles with an intelligent alternator, as when the engine is running these alternators (powered by the on-board electronics of Euro 5 and 6 engines) do not always emit the correct charging current and therefore a DC-DC converter is essential for charging the service battery properly.
Further details and a schematic detailing how this integrates into Victron Energy Lithium battery systems for vehicles will be the feature of a future blog post. For now this is merely the announcement of the product and specifications. If you require any information in the meantime, please comment in the Disqus comments section at the end of this blog.
- Controlled charging of the service battery
- Automatic activation and deactivation of electric devices in vehicles on the basis of a unique engine running detection protocol (no annoying cables).
General features
- Buck/boost converter can be fully programmed
- Suitable for all types of batteries
- Compact size: 213 x 120 x 30 cm
- Input voltage 10-30Vdc
- Output voltage 2-30Vdc (12/24Vdc variable settings)
- Power Capacity 50A (at 24 V/25A)
- Adjustable automatic current limiter
- Temperature monitoring
- Automatic activation when engine running
- LED status indicators
- Battery monitor by means of 2 RGB LEDs
- M8 connections
- Output for activation/deactivation of users
- USB for configuration/monitoring
- Separation of both batteries, so no additional relay required
- Built-in Lithium battery low-voltage protection device
In order to preserve the vehicle's starting battery, the 50A Buck-Boost DC-DC converter will only supply power once the engine has started.
This is possible because of the built-in engine running detection system. Instead of this detection, the 50A Buck-Boost DC-DC converter can also be activated by means of a programmable input.
Note: a CAN bus pr plus (+) 15 connection cannot always be used because the battery discharges in the case of 'ignition on/engine off'.
The 50A Buck-Boost DC-DC converter can be fully programmed by means of an extremely simple and user-friendly PC application.
The output current (maximum 50A) has an (adjustable) automatic limiter. The automatic current limiter becomes active once the internal temperature gets close to a pre-configured maximum.
The output voltage can be adjusted for all automotive settings and is independent of the input voltage due to the automatic buck/boost control, the latter which also ensures that the current never exceeds its preset value, not even when the input voltage is higher than the output voltage.
John Rushworth.

Day 40
Seed Pokemon
What the?! I thought we was done with whack grass type weakasuarus rexes! Looks like Aipom was only there to provide a small breath of fresh air as we move towards Sunkern! Oh well, at least Sunkern is sorta cute. Today we mesh our world with a cartoony subject - can you spot all the little Sunkern scattered about?
I actually always wanted to do a piece like this for series 1. Find a way to put a cartoon into photograph in a sort of seamless way. Not sure how seamless Sunkern appear here, but I did my best to have them lit up according to the light source in the picture.
I obviously chose a picture I thought would be a great environment to place them in; a garden of sorts. I used Google and used their search tools to find a picture that was okay to modify, so don't worry about that element of it. The picture obviously does all the heavy lifting, and my work was minimal but the two combined create a lovely little scene I hope you'll enjoy!
Streak's alive at 40 straight illustrations. Guess I'll celebrate in two weeks if I can do 50 straight...But it'd be a short one as the realization that another 50 waits would kick in. Comments, critiques, concerns...Post em if you got em!
Question of the Day
What do baseball players in the Pokemon universe chew on...!? T.T
Enjoy your weekend!
Exploring the creatures of Gold and Silver, Pokemon One a Day Series 2 can be seen as both a standalone project and expansion to the original marathon of artwork that sought to present one unique new illustration per day. This project builds upon the exploration of personal technical and philosophical concepts and visual styles under daily deadline to create quality works for personal and professional growth.

Austria sending 68 athletes to Rio, Liu Jia as flag bearer
VIENNA (AP) — With Dominic Thiem as its most notable absentee, Austria is sending its smallest squad in 40 years to the Olympics in Rio de Janeiro.
Without the ninth-ranked tennis player, the Austrian team consists of 37 men and 31 women. In 1976, Austria was represented by just 60 athletes at the Montreal Olympics.
The Austrian Olympic Committee chose Liu Jia as the flag bearer for the Aug. 5 opening ceremony. The Chinese-born table tennis player is set to compete in her fifth Olympics.
The committee vice-president Peter Schroecksnadel says "we believe we have chances to win medals. The goal is three to five medals."
Four years ago, Austria failed to win any silverware at the London Games.

Voinarovskii, Andrei
Voinarovskii, Andrei
Year of birth unknown; died 1740. Ukrainian cossack starshina (major). Large landowner; advocate of the transfer of the Ukraine to Polish rule. Nephew of Hetman Mazepa and active participant in his conspiracy.
After the Battle of Poltava (1709), Voinarovskii fled, with Mazepa and Charles XII, to Bendery and then to Germany. In Hamburg he was arrested by demand of the Russian government (1718) and banished to Yakutsk. Tsarism's reprisals against Voinarovskii gave rise to the idealization of his image (in contradiction to historical reality) in K. F. Ryleev's poem Voinarovskii.

Before boarding a flight, you have to check-in, after which you are given a boarding pass to enable you board the flight. Traditionally, check-in was done at the airport at the check-in counter of the airline. But with the advancement in technology, most notably ICT, airlines now have online check-in feature as part of their online airline booking platforms. Online check-in makes things easy for travellers and saves cost for airlines.

Checking in for an airline flight online is not a license to come in late for your flight. Most airlines require that you come in for boarding not later than an hour before the departure time if you check-in online. International flights may require more time. Online check-in works better for hand luggage customers.

How to Check-in Online for Arik flights
Arik air does not appear to offer online check-in for domestic flight their online check-in form which requires that customers enter their departure airport does not have any Nigerian airport as an option. In fact, Arik air although they claim to be the largest airline in Nigeria, their online platform is the worst of the five airlines we track. Their platform keeps you guessing.

[SatNews] Newtec and Intelsat S.A. (NYSE: I) have announced that Newtec Dialog® is powering the new IntelsatOne® Prism multimedia services.
Intelsat's new multimedia networking platform, which will be showcased in 4K UHDTV contribution demonstration at the NABSHOW in Las Vegas next week, allows Intelsat customers to easily upgrade a legacy satellite-based network to a next-generation automated hybrid satellite and terrestrial converged IP network. At NAB, Intelsat and Newtec will focus on demonstrating the capabilities of distribution and contribution of 4K content, both live and file-based workflows.
By embedding the Newtec Dialog platform at the core of IntelsatOne Prism, the new services also combine both the open DVB-S2X transmission standard and the award-winning Mx-DMA™ technology. This allows operators or providers to increase bandwidth efficiency, optimally share bandwidth between different applications and seamlessly distribute bandwidth over all terminals in a network. (For further information regarding Newtec Dialog®, an informative video is available at this direct infopage.)
Intelsat will demonstrate the capabilities of the IntelsatOne Prism platform from booth SU3110 at the NAB show, held at the Las Vegas Convention Centre from April 11 – 16. As well as the 4K transmission, which uses Newtec's modems in its delivery, Intelsat will demonstrate how media customers can manage multiple types of video content delivery and other IP applications using one single platform, with the Newtec Dialog hub located at Intelsat's teleport in Atlanta, Georgia. Newtec will be presenting their technologies at their booth: SU2424.
Serge Van Herck, CEO of Newtec, said, "In choosing Newtec Dialog to power their IntelsatOne Prism service, Intelsat has recognized the increasing pressure on media companies to meet the demands of a TV Everywhere society as well as challenges posed by the growing complexity of workflow management. On top of efficiency, scalability and flexibility; automation of broadcast workflows and effective usage of available resources are key differentiators of the Newtec Dialog multiservice broadcast solution. The availability of a wide range of diverse workflows and the flexibility to define new ones, simplifies operations while also reducing overall network costs. At the same time it allows broadcasters to rapidly enable new services as the market evolves."
Peter Ostapiuk, Head of Media, Intelsat, said, "Changing consumer behavior from live linear to multi-screen and time-delayed consumption is introducing new business models to broadcasters and programmers, adding additional complexity to their distribution architecture. IntelsatOne Prism solutions combined with the innovative Newtec Dialog multiservice solution will enable our customers to share bandwidth and network assets across multiple applications and simplify legacy and digital media delivery all within one network and in a much more cost-efficient manner."

We're big audiobook fans at our house. Big. Fans.
I don't think I'm giving Lana Quintal too much credit when I say that her portrayal of Junie B. Jones may have been the only thing that prevented our children from burning down the house while I slept off an entire Twin Pregnancy.
And while there is a current Junie B. Audio Ban due to psychosomatic relapses of acute nausea, many others have since filled our 5-CD changer. The latest is the fourth installment of Harry Potter.
Yes, we're Harry Potter fans. I won't confuddle the issue by trying to defend it, but I'll happily point you to a smart, faithful Pastor who has his finger on the pulse of this story-line.
So, back to the Triwizard Tournament. It is right up the boys' alley. They love it all – the secret tasks, the obstacles at every corner, the points awarded to their favorite Champion. They spent three days listening during every spare minute they could convince me to allow the stereo to be on.
And then they got to the end of the last task, and I said something like, "Hey boys, let's finish the book tomorrow instead of right before bedtime. They end is kind of sad and scary."
I didn't have to convince. I didn't have to ask twice. I didn't have to nag. I didn't have to power down on my own.
Nope. Up they popped, raced to hit the stop button, and not another word was spoken.
That was three days ago.
Three days without a single request to finish the book. Three days without mention of Harry Potter. Three days without the slightest query into the outcome of book four.
In their minds Harry and Cedric tied and will share the spotlight as CoTriwizard Champions. The End.
These boys definitely belong to me.

Last weekend we had the pleasure of covering the Red Carpet Premiere of the newest documentary from Mayrok Media and Dan Mathews, "aka Dan". Dan is a Korean-American adoptee who decided that he wanted to try and contact his birth family, who are currently located in South Korea. Well, not only did he find his family, but he also discovered that he had a twin brother!
A lot of Dan's friends, including Far East Movement and Wong Fu Productions, came out to support the opening of his film, and had a lot of interesting things to say to us on the Red Carpet!
This emotional roller coaster of a journey towards self-discovery was the highlight of the evening as guests were shuffled to the screening room to view this powerful documentary. Afterwards, there was a special after-party to premiere yet another of Dan's projects; his newest album, "Stuntman".
It was a fun night full of fun interviews, music and camaraderie (not to mention the open bar…^_^)
If you are interested in watching "aka Dan" in full, be sure to stay tuned to Dramafever, as they promised to air the documentary really soon! Check out our video of us interviewing celebrities on the Red Carpet on behalf of Dramafever below!

Evaluation of Breast Cancer Recurrence Rates Following Surgery in Women With Ductal Carcinoma In Situ
|The safety and scientific validity of this study is the responsibility of the study sponsor and investigators. Listing a study does not mean it has been evaluated by the U.S. Federal Government. Read our disclaimer for details.
|ClinicalTrials.gov Identifier: NCT00002934
Recruitment Status : Terminated (This study was terminated when the accrual goal for the low/intermediate grade stratum was reached. The high grade stratum was closed due to slow accrual.)

RATIONALE: The evaluation of breast cancer recurrence rates may improve the ability to plan cancer treatment for patients with breast cancer.
PURPOSE: Study to evaluate the rate of recurrence of breast cancer in women who have had surgery for ductal carcinoma in situ.
|Condition or disease
|Breast Cancer
|Procedure: long-term screening
|Phase 2
- Evaluate actuarial local in situ and invasive recurrence rates at 5 and 10 years after local excision in women with a favorable ductal carcinoma in situ (DCIS) prognosis.
- Evaluate concordance between institutional pathologists and central review pathologists with respect to diagnosis and grading of DCIS.
- Identify parameters that indicate increased or decreased risk of recurrence in the absence of irradiation.
- Evaluate patterns of salvage of recurrence and rates of breast conservation.
- Evaluate actuarial relapse-free, overall, and cause-specific survival at 5 and 10 years post DCIS excision.
OUTLINE: This is a registration study stratified by histologic grade (high vs low or intermediate) and adjuvant tamoxifen therapy (yes vs no).
Patients receive standard clinical and mammographic follow-up for greater than 10 years. If recurrence occurs, treatment will be at the discretion of the investigators. Patients may receive adjuvant oral tamoxifen daily for 5 years after local excision.
A follow up magnification view mammogram must be taken after the last local excision, and microcalcification must be negative.
Patients are followed every 6 months for the first 10 years, and then annually thereafter.
PROJECTED ACCRUAL: 1000 (500 per stratum) eligible and evaluable patients will be enrolled at an estimated accrual rate of 250 patients per year.

If you are a woman and you have ever felt bad about your body, you need to read this book.
In it, Wendy Shanker takes a hard look at body image, stereotypes, negative connotations, outright judgement, dieting, and more. The most powerful thing she's suggested so far is this: If you have tried many, many diets, and none of them work, perhaps the problem is with the diets, not with you.
Shanker does not make excuses for her size. She takes responsibility for her health, and concludes that she would rather eat real food, have good cholesterol levels and a healthy heart than be skinny and unhealthy.
She points out the flaws in the BMI system (George Clooney is overweight according to the BMI chart) and challenges us to re-think our self-images and our relationships with our bodies.
Many of us struggle with how we look, spending hours of our lives fretting over whether or not our butts look too big in a particular pair of jeans. I've been there, and I tired of it quickly. But every now and then I'll backslide and start thinking, "Maybe I should go on a diet" before I come to my senses.
This is not a topic women talk about openly*, so it's great to know someone else has gone through all the same things and come to the same conclusion: This dieting and negative body image bullshit is wack.
*Sure, some women do talk about weight issues openly. But for most, saying, "I'm so fat" or "I'm on a diet" is about as far as the conversation goes. There's rarely any discussion of how difficult dieting is, and how unsustainable and discouraging it is. The Fat Girl's Guide to Life contains those discussions and beyond.

"THINK LIKE A MAN" Atlanta Premiere: Gabby Union, Terrence J & Selita, Regina, Keshia Knight Pulliam & More Hit The Carpet!
YBF celebs turned up for the star studded Think Like A Man red carpet movie premiere in Atlanta Tuesday night. Pics inside of celeb supports and the ensemble cast including Gabrielle Union, Terrence J., Regina Hall, LaLa, Kevin Hart & more....
From Tuesday's big red carpet premiere at Atlantic Station Regal Cinemas:
We've died and gone to canary heaven. Gabrielle Union hit the red carpet in this spring-ready Bill Blass bright yellow and slightly sheer floor length pleated gown. It's definitely not her usual litte black dress...and thankfully so. She decided to stand out with the color and good hair and makeup. She paired the look with a Judith Leiber box clutch. Looking FAB Gabby.
She stopped to chat up "X-Factor" first season's 4th place winner Marcus Canty.
Terrence J, who also stars in the film, showed off his model girlfriend Selita Ebanks. Are these two headed to the Easter Sunday program? Or were the matching outfits purely coincidental? We do love the color combo on TJ though. He's rocking Tom Ford by the way.
Pretty beading and sparkling dress for Selita. And she paired it with her clear & silver spiked heels.
Co-star Michael Ealy looked hot as usual hitting the carpet. Those eyes...
Terrence, producer Will Packar and Ne-Yo chatted it up while in the press line.
Co-stars Regina Hall & LaLa Anthony hit the carpet in colorful flirty looks.
LaLa rocked Louboutin booties and a leather Tibi dress. Can't decide how I feel about this here look. It's interesting.
Absolutely loved Keshia Knight Pulliam's red carpet look...until I got to the knee. Why is the skirt closing back up after the slit? Shouldn't it have gone all the way down? Did the designer (it's a Rachel Zoe silk twill skirt by the way) change their mind halfway through? Just interesting....
Such a fab chick though.
Oh...is this your new boo Jasmine Guy? The two were clearly acting like a couple on the carpet. And we are NOT mad.
Actress Vanessa Williams was on hand to support.
And so was her girl Terri Vaughn. I swear she tapped into Lavita Alize Jenkins' closet for this look. Still loves her though.
T.I. made his red carpet appearance as well. Been hitting those weights we see.
"For Better Or Worse" star Tasha Smith, carrying her Gucci Hysteria bag, hit the carpet with her husband Keith and fam.
The man who kicked off this common sense turned advice novel Act Like A Lady, Think Like A Man was there of course. Steve Harvey & his wife Marjorie looked color coordinated and cutesy.
Co-star Romany Malco hit the carpet in all black everything.
Actor Dondre Whitfield made an appearance.
Newly divorced "For Better or Worse" actor Michael Jai White hit the carpet with co-star KiKi Haynes. (Editor's Note: Michael Jai White's publicist denies Michael and his wife have filed for divorce. They will actually be featured together in a Father's Day segment for EBONY magazine that they are shooting this weekend.)
The comedic star of the film, Kevin Hart, made his appearance of course.
Judge Hatchett made a colorful appearance. Chick stays on a red carpet doesn't she? And yes, we're giving her a pass.... (Yes, this is very much Judge Hatchett. Check out her recent twitpics while doing motivational speaking with same haircut, makeup & look.)
Nelly snapped some pics with youngin' Jacob Lattimore.
And ATL's Mayor Kasim Reed hit the carpet as well. Fab times all around!
Think Like A Man hits theaters April 20th.
