Are Mortgages from Walmart the Future of Lending?
Since the financial crash of 2007, banks have lost their luster and alternative financing options like peer-to-peer lending have grown rapidly. Now, a new study suggests the next phase of lending's transformation will be companies like Walmart and eBay offering big loans at lower rates.

Life is full of big decisions isn't it? And there are times the decisions are huge in that we know they will alter the course of our life. And as parents we realize that these decisions won't only affect the course of our life, but our spouse and/or children's life as well. So how can we at least try to make the right decisions in life?
On my way to work this morning I was listening to one of my favorite teachers by the name of Andy Stanley, and he gave some great advice on this topic. He said that one of the big questions we need to ask when faced with life choices is, "How do I want my story to go?" I'm paraphrasing, but Andy is simply saying that we need to take pause before making a major decision, and we must think about how we want this chapter of our story to read.
Over the last few months I have felt as though I needed to make some very important decisions about my life. And when I say my life I'm actually saying our life. At this point my decisions impact a beautiful blonde who has allowed me to pursue my dreams, and three children that I want desperately to have a great story. One day they will tell this chapter of their story to their children. In a few sentences they will sum up the first 18 years of their life. My wife, because she is 8 years younger than me, will likely out live me and one day tell her story about our marriage (hopefully 40 years from now). The story they will tell will be directly impacted by the decisions that I make. Well, at least there is no pressure!
So I write all of that to say this, when you and I make these major decisions in life we must think about our story or maybe I should say...God's story. God has written a story and we play a vital role. And when we make our decisions with that in mind it can at least help make the process easier. Notice I didn't say it would make the decision making process easy.
I would love to hear about some of the decisions you are trying to make in your life right now. You can post comments below and you can do so anonymously.

- If I remember correctly, Kishimoto-sensei once said that he likes drawing spirals in an interview. That could explain their ubiquity. A possible connection between the Uzumaki and the Uchiha ancestor is highly unlikely and wouldn't explain the many spirals in Konoha. A connection between the Uzumaki and the Senju is far more likely, but still dubious, as the Senju were from the Land of Fire and the Uzumaki from the Land of Whirlpools. --ShounenSuki (talk | contribs) 19:34, October 23, 2009 (UTC)

The intent of the RFQ was to develop a short list of interested and qualified development teams to be invited to submit full proposals. Seven RFQ responses were received on February 15th and were evaluated by a team of City staff and commercial real estate professionals.
Full proposals from the three invited teams will be due to the City on May 30. The review team will evaluate the three proposals and make a recommendation to Council by July 12th with which team, if any, the City should enter into negotiations with for sale and redevelopment of the site.
The City envisions a final project that provides new economic opportunities for residents of the City and region. The City wishes the following objectives to be achieved through redevelopment:
Proposals will be evaluated on compatibility of the development concept with the City's vision and goals for the Eastland area, the feasibility of the financing strategy for the development, and capacity of the teams to execute the proposed development in a timely manner.
If no proposal yields a viable option for City Council, staff will propose an interim strategy until the real estate markets improve.

On August 31, 2012 the City of Charlotte purchased 80.452 acres at the former Eastland Mall site for $13.154M. It is not the City's intention to keep the land, rather sell it to the private sector for a project/s consistent with the City's policy objectives.
Goals for the property remain consistent with the 2003 Eastland Area Plan.

Police said a father-son joyride ended with the man being arrested in a dollar store parking lot on charges of child abuse.
Wilmington Police said before 9 p.m. on Monday night, they got a call to the Dollar Store on South College Road, where there was a report of an abandoned child.
Police said they arrived to find a 6-year-old boy playing with toy cars in the parking lot. Police said the child had been there for hours.
Looking around the scene, officers said they found the child's father, 28-year-old Jonathan Curtman passed out in bushes near the dollar store with two packages of spice in his pocket. North Carolina outlawed spice, known as a synthetic form of marijuana, in June of 2011.
Investigators said it appears Curtman drove his son from Jacksonville to Wilmington on his motorcycle, bought the toy cars at the store, and told his son to play on the ground behind the bike. Officers said after that, the father passed out in nearby bushes.
The 6-year-old is in now in his mother's custody, according to police.
Curtman was arrested for child abuse and given a $5,000 bond.

PORTLAND, Maine (NEWS CENTER) -- EqualityMaine has a lot to celebrate, for 3 decades they've been fighting for equal treatment in the workplace and in the legislature for the lesbian, gay and transgender community.Saturday night marked their 30th anniversary celebration.
EqualityMaine President Jane Clayton joked, "our best and brightest volunteers haven't even been on this earth for 30 years," at the banquet.
One of those volunteers is 17-year-old Jessica Abramson.
"I signed up for a shift, canvassing door-to-door and I was extremely nervous," says Abramson. "I was hoping the first few doors that nobody would answer, but by the end I was really enjoying it."
30 years ago, the founders of the Maine Lesbian/Gay Political Alliance (MLGPA) organization that would become EqualityMaine, looked over a dramatically different landscape. In 1984, a Bangor man was murdered for being gay.
"After the murder of Charlie Howard, we needed to respond to this senseless act," saidfounding member Barb Wood."We came to together and said we need to change the hearts and mind of the people of Maine."
Over the decades they have fought to end workplace discrimination of gay and lesbian people, to stop legislation that would have banned same sex marriage and, triumphantly, fought to secure marriage equality for all consenting adults in the state of Maine.
"We're happy about that, but we're on to the next," said Wood. "We're actually working [with] youth, elders, transgender, and particularly in the rural areas of Maine."
Members of the founding board of the MLGPA were awardedwith the Pioneers for Equality Award.
Jessican Abramson received the Youth Leadership Award,partly because ofthe documentary she madeto address bullying among LGBT Youth.
"I'm definitely really proud of myself," said Abramson."Particularly because I was so afraid when I started and I've come a really long way in getting over my fears and learning that I can make a difference."

In May 1970, Neil Young came to his bandmates David Crosby, Graham Nash and Stephen Stills with a powerful new song: "Ohio." After three days of agitated student-led protests of the invasion of Cambodia, the already incendiary situation at Kent State University exploded on the afternoon of May 4, 1970, when 28 National Guardsmen fired as many as 67 shots into a crowd of people. The 13-second barrage killed four students – Jeffrey Miller, Allison Krause, William Schroeder and Sandra Scheuer – and injured nine more.
In the wake of the tragedy, President Richard Nixon's military orders in Southeast Asia came under increasingly fervent scrutiny, while John Paul Filo's Pulitzer prize–winning photograph of Mary Ann Vecchio screaming beside the lifeless body of Jeffrey Miller was forever ingrained into the American social consciousness as a poignant reminder of the domestic turmoil during the Vietnam Era. Other images from the shooting appeared as part of the May 15,1970 Life magazine cover story, an issue that reportedly found its way to Neil Young via David Crosby.
In the liner notes of his 1977 anthology, Decade, Young wrote: "It's still hard to believe I had to write this song. It's ironic that I capitalized on the death of these American students. Probably the biggest lesson ever learned at an American place of learning. My best CSNY cut. Recorded totally live in Los Angeles. David Crosby cried after this take."
Making A 60s Supergroup for a New Decade
After stints in the Byrds (Crosby) and Buffalo Springfield (Stills), a triumphant Woodstock appearance and a well-received self-titled debut album in 1969, Crosby, Stills and Nash were established as a low-key supergroup that emphasized singing and songwriting above all, and their example contributed to the evolution of the singer/songwriter movement in the Seventies.
Latecomer Young's rougher, more immediate style did not always mesh easily with CSN's polished vocal harmonies, though the ostensibly disparate approaches coalesced nicely on 1970's Déjà Vu. Still, "Ohio" was a rare, spontaneous triumph.
Recording "Ohio"
Just weeks after the shooting, the foursome gathered at The Record Plant studio in Los Angeles, California. Legendary recording engineer Bill Halverson, who had previously worked with the band, supervised the session. In an interview with Tony Bittick, Halverson recalled: "I don't recall us doing more than two or three takes of it with live vocal and live harmonies, and everybody chiming in…. The mood was very intense." That intensity was captured in the song's bristling energy – the antithesis of beloved Crosby, Stills and Nash tunes like "Suite: Judy Blue Eyes" and "Marrakesh Express." From the opening line ("Tin soldiers and Nixon coming") through Young's tortured guitar fills to the scruffy unison vocals that carry the song to its electrifying climax, this brooding lamentation smoldered with disbelief and rage.
Realizing that the song needed a complementary b-side, the band recorded Stills' original composition, "Find The Cost Of Freedom." Halverson arranged four chairs, four vocal microphones and one guitar mic (for Stills) so that the group would be "knee-to-knee sitting facing each other," he recalled. "In 15 minutes, we had 'Find The Cost Of Freedom.'"
The single for "Ohio" with its b-side "Find The Cost Of Freedom" was released in June 1970 and despite the fact many AM stations refused to play the track, FM stations across the country were spinning it. Live versions of both songs were included on CSNY's double-live album 4 Way Street in 1971, the same year Young would leave the band. Of the political content that marked many of their songs, Nash has said: "In speaking for ourselves, [listeners] recognized that we were speaking for them, too."

Hydrodesulfurization (HDS) or Hydrotreating is a catalytic chemical process widely used to remove sulfur compounds from refined petroleum products such as gasoline or petrol, jet fuel, diesel fuel, and fuel oils. One purpose for removing the sulfur is to reduce the sulfur dioxide emissions resulting from using those fuels in automotive vehicles, aircraft, railroad locomotives, ships, or oil burning power plants, residential and industrial furnaces, and other forms of fuel combustion.
Another important reason for removing sulfur from the intermediate product naphtha streams within a petroleum refinery is that sulfur, even in extremely low concentrations, poisons the noble metal catalysts platinum and rhenium in the catalytic reforming units that are subsequently used to upgrade the of the naphtha streams.
Hydrogenation of the sulfur compounds results in the formation of undesirable, toxic gaseous hydrogen sulfide. The industrial hydrodesulfurization processes include facilities for the capture and removal of the hydrogen sulfide gas. In petroleum refineries, the hydrogen sulfide gas is then subsequently converted into byproduct elemental sulfur. In fact, the vast majority of the 68,000,000 metric tons of sulfur produced worldwide in 2010 was byproduct sulfur from petroleum refining and natural gas processing plants.
Although reactions involving catalytic hydrogenation of organic substances were known prior to 1897, the property of finely divided nickel to catalyze the fixation of hydrogen on hydrocarbon double bonds (for example, as in ethylene and benzene) was discovered by the French chemist, Paul Sabatier. He found that unsaturated hydrocarbons in the vapor phase could be converted into saturated hydrocarbons by using hydrogen and a catalytic metal. His work was the foundation of the modern catalytic hydrogenation process.
Soon after Sabatier's work, a German chemist, Wilhelm Normann, found that catalytic hydrogenation could be used to convert unsaturated glycerides in the liquid phase into saturated compounds. He was awarded a patent in Germany in 1902 and in Britain in 1903, which was the beginning of what is now a worldwide industry.
In the mid-1950's, the first noble metal catalytic reforming process (the Platformer process) was commercialized. At the same time, the catalytic hydrodesulfurization of the naphtha feed to such reformers was also commercialized. In the decades that followed, various proprietary catalytic hydrodesulfurization processes such as the one depicted in the schematic process flow diagram below have been commercialized. Currently, virtually all of the petroleum refineries world-wide have one or more HDS units.
By 2006, miniature HDS units had been developed for treating jet fuel to produce clean feedstock for synthesizing hydrogen for a fuel cell. By 2007, this had been integrated into a small operating fuel cell system.
The process chemistry
Hydrogenation is a class of chemical reactions that results in the addition of hydrogen. Hydrogenolysis is a type of hydrogenation that results in the cleavage of the C-X chemical bond, where C is a carbon atom and X is a sulfur, nitrogen or oxygen atom. The net result of a hydrogenolysis reaction is the formation of C-H and H-X chemical bonds. Thus, hydrodesulfurization is a hydrogenolysis reaction. Using ethanethiol (C2H5SH), a sulfur compound present in some petroleum refining streams, as an example, the hydrodesulfurization reaction can be expressed as:
Ethanethiol + Hydrogen ⇒ Ethane + Hydrogen Sulfide
Many metals catalyze the HDS reaction, but it is those at the middle of the transition metal series that are most active. Ruthenium disulfide (RuS2) appears to be the single most active catalyst, but binary combinations of cobalt and molybdenum are also highly active.
In practice, most HDS units in petroleum refineries use catalysts based on cobalt-modified molybdenum disulfide (MoS2) together with smaller amounts of other metals. Aside from the MoS2 catalysts, nickel and tungsten are also used, depending on the nature of the feed. For example, nickel-wolfram (Ni-W) catalysts are more effective for the hydrodenitrification (HDN) which is also desired in many HDS units.
Metal sulfides are supported on materials with high surface areas. A typical support for HDS catalyst is alumina. The support allows the more expensive catalyst to be more widely distributed, giving rise to a larger fraction of the MoS2 that is catalytically active.
Process description
In an industrial hydrodesulfurization unit, such as in a petroleum refinery, the hydrodesulfurization reaction takes place in a fixed-bed reactor at elevated temperatures ranging from 300 to 400 °C and elevated pressures ranging from 30 to 130 atmospheres of absolute pressure, typically in the presence of a catalyst consisting of a base impregnated with cobalt and molybdenum.
The image below is a schematic depiction of the equipment and the process flow streams in a typical refinery HDS unit:
The liquid feed (at the bottom left in the diagram) is pumped up to the required elevated pressure and is joined by a stream of hydrogen-rich recycle gas. The resulting liquid-gas mixture is preheated by flowing through a heat exchanger. The preheated feed then flows through a fuel-fired heater where the feed is totally vaporized and heated to the required elevated temperature before entering the reactor and flowing through a fixed-bed of catalyst where the hydrodesulfurization reaction takes place.
The hot reaction products are partially cooled by flowing through the heat exchanger where the reactor feed was preheated and then flows through a water-cooled heat exchanger before it flows through the pressure controller (PC) and undergoes a pressure reduction down to about three to five atmospheres. The resulting mixture of liquid and gas enters the gas separator vessel at about 35 °C and three to five atmospheres of absolute pressure.
Most of the hydrogen-rich gas from the gas separator vessel is recycle gas which is routed through an amine contactor for removal of the reaction product hydrogen sulfide gas (H2S) that it contains. The H2S-free hydrogen-rich gas is then recycled back for reuse in the reactor section. Any excess gas from the gas separator vessel joins the sour gas (i.e., gas containing H2S) from the stripping of the reaction product liquid.
The liquid from the gas separator vessel is routed through a reboiled stripper distillation tower. The bottoms product from the stripper is the final desulfurized liquid product from the hydrodesulfurization unit.
The overhead sour gas from the stripper contains hydrogen, methane, ethane, hydrogen sulfide, propane and perhaps some butane and heavier components (i.e., higher molecular weight components). That sour gas is sent to the refinery's central gas processing plant for removal of the hydrogen sulfide in the refinery's main amine gas treating unit and through a series of distillation towers for recovery of propane, butane and pentane or heavier components. The residual hydrogen, methane, ethane and some propane is used as refinery fuel gas. The hydrogen sulfide removed and recovered by the amine gas treating unit is subsequently converted to elemental sulfur in a Claus process unit.
Note that the above description assumes that the HDS unit feed contains no olefins. If the feed does contain olefins (for example, the feed is a naphtha derived from a refinery fluid catalytic cracker (FCC) unit), then the overhead gas from the HDS stripper may also contain some ethene, propene, butenes and pentenes or heavier olfins.
It should also be noted that the amine solution to and from the recycle gas contactor comes from and is returned to the refinery's main amine gas treating unit.
Sulfur compounds in refinery HDS feedstocks
The refinery HDS feedstocks (naphtha, kerosene, diesel oil and heavier oils) contain a wide range of organic sulfur compounds, including thiols, thiophenes, organic sulfides and disulfides, and many others. These organic sulfur compounds are products of the degradation of sulfur during the natural formation of the petroleum crude oil.
When the HDS process is used to desulfurize a refinery naphtha, it is necessary to remove the the total sulfur down to the parts per million range or lower in order to prevent poisoning the noble metal catalysts in the subsequent catalytic reforming of the naphthas.
When the process is used for desulfurizing diesel oils, the latest environmental regulations in the United States, Europe and elsewhere mandate what is referred to as ultra-low sulfur diesel (ULSD) which requires very deep hydrodesulfurization. In the early 2000's, the governmental regulatory limits for highway vehicle diesel was within the range of 300 to 500 ppm by weight of total sulfur. As of 2006, the total sulfur limit for highway diesel was in the range of 15 to 30 ppm by weight.
Other uses
The basic hydrogenolysis reaction has a number of uses other than hydrodesulfurization.
The hydrogenolysis reaction is also used to reduce the nitrogen content of a petroleum stream and, in that case, is referred to as Hydrodenitrification (HDN). The process flow scheme is the same as for an HDS unit. In fact, units may be designed for both hydrodesulfurization and hydrodenitrification, and many are so designed.
Using pyridine (C5H5N), a nitrogen compound present in some petroleum fractionation products, as an example, the hydrodenitrification reaction has been postulated as occurring in three steps:
Pyridine + Hydrogen ⇒ Piperdine + Hydrogen ⇒ Amylene + Hydrogen ⇒ Pentane + Ammonia
and the overall reaction may be expressed as:
Pyridine + Hydrogen ⇒ Pentane + Ammonia
Saturation of olefins
The hydrogenolysis reaction may also be used to saturate or convert olefins (alkenes) into paraffins (alkanes). The process used is the same as for an HDS unit.
As an example, the saturation of the olefin, pentene, can be expressed as:
Pentene + Hydrogen ⇒ Pentane
Some hydrogenolysis units within a petroleum refinery or a petrochemical plant may be used solely for the saturation of olefins or they may be used for simultaneously desulfurizing as well as denitrifying and saturating olefins to some extent.
Hydrogenation in the food industry
The food industry uses hydrogenation to completely or partially saturate the unsaturated fatty acids in liquid vegetable fats and oils to convert them into solid or semi-solid fats, such as those in margarine and shortening.

Why are birds never out of key when they sing?
In fact, this is not just about birds; almost all creatures that make pleasant sounds (except us) never make a note out of key.
How is this possible?
Why are birds never out of key when they sing?
In fact, this is not just about birds; almost all creatures that make pleasant sounds (except us) never make a note out of key.
How is this possible?
Birds don't sing in a key. Keys are human cultural constructions with some basis in physics, but primarily just artful constructions of a sentient mind.
In fact, when you hear a parrot or something similar attempt to mimic human song, it's not nearly as "in key" as even an average human singer would be.
Birdsong only sounds pleasant because you've learned to associate the sound of birdsong with pleasant things. This is clearly not uncommon! But don't confuse "pleasant-sounding" with "in key." They are NOT the same. A babbling brook, I might say, is a pleasant sound--but it's not even something that can be easily defined in pitch.
Now, what you may be hearing are recognizable intervals between notes being sounded by what I'd call a monophonic pitched songbird. It might be possible to interpret groups of these notes as if they were in a key, and in fact some composers are known to do this (see Olivier Messiaen). However, intervals between pairs of notes don't put birdsong into a key, since every next interval is going to imply something totally different. The intervals themselves are probably based on the harmonic series (since that's the easiest way for physics to work), which is a shared root attribute of human cultural tonality, hence why those notes can sounds like they're "in key".
Bird song is not tonal. Read this paper by Wallins and Mercer. A key quote from them:
And Carol Whaling (document available at the same link) provides this spectral plot:
Which you can see is not tonal, in the way we think of music.
I'm happy to admit that I don't know what I'm talking about on this subject but its my understanding that all creatures that rely to some extent on sonic communication occupy very select frequencies on the global soundscape.
i.e. Elephants use very low bass frequencies to communicate, whales very high frequencies. It depends on the medium in which the animals exist i.e. air or water etc.
Birds themselves communicate on different bandwidths of frequency.
A sparrow for instance communicates sings on a bandwidth that is distinct from say, a magpie. This is so when they all occupy the same space they can differentiate the calls of their own species from that of others i.e. increase the signal to noise ratio.
No doubt their hearing is specifically attuned to these frequencies as well. I'm not saying they're deaf to other frequencies but that their hearing is geared towards a specific range of frequencies as is our own.
So when you ask how is this possible. Evolution no doubt. I'm sure their lyranx or tweeters or whatever you call a birds voice box is engineered to produce certain frequencies in much the same way as tuning a guitar... by tensioning the strings.
In other words its possible because its necessary to survive. If birds couldn't call a mate or hear the cries of their young when in a forest full of different bird species, they'd simply perish.
I don't know when the last time was that you were in a forest but them birds, they sure do make a racket. They're always talking over the top of one another. So without "perfect pitch" they may as well be talking to themselves.
It seems to me that Birds do not sound out of key or off pitch, what have you, when they sign, because they are higher up in the register where the scale length is getting tighter and it is harder to distinguish off key notes since the intervals are smaller. They have a harmonic overtone and this causes it to be more melodic in the sense that it is more harmonic even though we know melody and harmony are not the same. Reminds me of a story about the Fox and the Crow and the Fox gets the Crow in the Tree to sing for him so that he drops his cheese. Suddenly I feel I may have fallen victim to this very scheme at this very moment as I am trying to sign this tune of why birds have fancy wings.... But I Digress.
Also as pictured in the waveform and frequency response curves the sound consists of a more square or sawtooth type wave than a pure sinusoidal wave which accounts for the chirp.

Advanced Style On The Go In Roma: Men's Edition
I have been running around Europe and I've finally arrived in beautiful Roma. After a delicious cup of gelato I hit the streets looking for Advanced Style. As I was walking around I noticed how beautifully the older men in rome dressed, even in very hot weather.Here are a few shots of Rome's well dressed men on the go and don't worry the ladies of rome will get their time to shine as well.

I cannot believe my good luck at having found you. The truth about personal style is that one does not really have a fully developed sense of it ... until one is old (er). And then it simply illuminates ones inner beauty ... something too few spend their life-times working on.
There is comfort, there is love, there is no longer any rush to get there when one is old ... True style never fades, style developed over a lifetime simply enhances the life ... the visage.
I am so pleased to see this blog!

Always in Italia we see a dignity amongst the older generation, that is sadly missing here in the US, except maybe NY of course. I am always so impressed to see the retired men sitting amongst friends, taking the sun and chatting or playing cards. They dress with a sense of decorum and style in their dark sweaters or sports coats, a nice hat. Even those of modest means set an example of elegance to the younger generation.

If the stress in your life is more than you can cope with, get help right away.
I'd like to share an insight from a reader. When we're angry, frustrated or tired, we know it's not a good time to make decisions. We've all heard the advice to "sleep on it" before making a decision. But it's just as important to take time to deliberate when there are strong positive emotions like joy and exuberance.
When you're on a high because of some achievement or recognition, it's easy to get swept away and believe that you're invincible. It's important to let the feelings of euphoria subside and then move forward.
I'm reminded of the following story that was shared with me by a prominent leader from Mayo Clinic. During the Roman Empire when a conquering general was escorted into the city in his chariot, he would be surrounded by cheering and adoring masses. Crouched in the bottom of the chariot, we're told, was a slave whose job it was to remind the hero that his moment of adulation and glory would pass. Likewise, we need to remind ourselves that our moment in the sun is fleeting.

I do agree that we should never try to make a major decision when under stress. It could very well backfire and cause more issue than it's worth. Take time to make all decision expecially the major ones. I learned that to calm down we should give our brain a time out, do something peaceful or listen to some relaxing music.

Very pretty amy..and the quilt from last month's blocks..awesome
this charity quilt has turned out so beautifully. and those bee blocks looks so pretty
I am psyching myself up to do these blocks! I might need to do a sample block first to get all the wonks out :)

Yours look great and you made a great decision only to do one bee at a time!
That star quilt takes my breath away every time. Gorgeous.

Thanks for my blocks! I'm so sorry they're giving everyone grief but I loooooove them 🙂 And thanks for the blog love heehee!

LOL see! It's just too weird using anyone else's computer.
Everything is gorgeous Amy!

Enjoy the conference and have a good weekend!
Oh..I love Audrey's blocks. Great way to use up scraps.
Have a wonderful time at Women's Conference. What a good husband to come home so you can go.
I love the block!….I'm all about everything scrappy.
Have a great time at Womens Conference:)

lori
Wasn't the conference great?! I loved it! Love your Bee blocks and also the star quilt. I'd really like to do a Bee, but really have no idea how to get involved with a group.
Love the charity quilt! But really love the blocks you made, so fun!
I love the block. I can tell that it's going to be a darling quilt.
you'd make those blocks again?? oh dear i could never… i'm glad i got them done.. but never again! 😉
I love your blocks. I have found I can keep up with a couple exchanges/bees when I limit myself and work at them in small bits.
Lovely work. Such pretty colors (drool!).
Your quilting blocks are so cute! Thanks for sharing your wonderful blog and keep up the great work!

The report shall be available for public inspection at the entity's central location and at every location where 5 or more full-time employees are regularly assigned to work. Nothing in this subsection shall be construed as prohibiting the Commission from collecting or continuing to collect statistical or other employment information in a manner that it deems appropriate to carry out this section.
(e) Annual certification of compliance; periodic investigation of employment practices
(1) On an annual basis, the Commission shall certify each entity described in subsection (a) of this section as in compliance with this section if, on the basis of information in the possession of the Commission, including the report filed pursuant to subsection (d)(3) of this section, such entity was in compliance, during the annual period involved, with the requirements of subsections (b), (c), and (d) of this section.
(2) The Commission shall, periodically but not less frequently than every five years, investigate the employment practices of each entity described in subsection (a) of this section, in the aggregate, as well as in individual job categories, and determine whether such entity is in compliance with the requirements of subsections (b), (c), and (d) of this section, including whether such entity's employment practices deny or abridge women and minorities equal employment opportunities. As part of such investigation, the Commission shall review whether the entity's reports filed pursuant to subsection (d)(3) of this section accurately reflect employee responsibilities in the reported job classifications.
(f) Substantial failure to comply; penalties; notice to public and franchising authorities
(1) If the Commission finds after notice and hearing that the entity involved has willfully or repeatedly without good cause failed to comply with the requirements of this section, such failure shall constitute a substantial failure to comply with this subchapter. The failure to obtain certification under subsection (e) of this section shall not itself constitute the basis for a determination of substantial failure to comply with this title. For purposes of this paragraph, the term "repeatedly", when used with respect to failures to comply, refers to 3 or more failures during any 7-year period.
(2) Any person who is determined by the Commission, through an investigation pursuant to subsection (e) of this section or otherwise, to have failed to meet or failed to make best efforts to meet the requirements of this section, or rules under this section, shall be liable to the United States for a forfeiture penalty of $500 for each violation. Each day of a continuing violation shall constitute a separate offense. Any entity defined in subsection (a) of this section shall not be liable for more than 180 days of forfeitures which accrued prior to notification by the Commission of a potential violation. Nothing in this paragraph shall limit the forfeiture imposed on any person as a result of any violation that continues subsequent to such notification. In addition, any person liable for such penalty may also have any license under this chapter for cable auxiliary relay service suspended until the Commission determines that the failure involved has been corrected. Whoever knowingly makes any false statement or submits documentation which he knows to be false, pursuant to an application for certification under this section shall be in violation of this section.
(3) The provisions of paragraphs (3) and (4), and the last 2 sentences of paragraph (2), of section 503 (b) of this title shall apply to forfeitures under this subsection.
(g) Discrimination complaints; investigation; enforcement
Employees or applicants for employment who believe they have been discriminated against in violation of the requirements of this section, or rules under this section, or any other interested person, may file a complaint with the Commission. A complaint by any such person shall be in writing, and shall be signed and sworn to by that person. The regulations under subsection (d)(1) of this section shall specify a program, under authorities otherwise available to the Commission, for the investigation of complaints and violations, and for the enforcement of this section.
(h) "Cable operator" defined; owners of multiple unit dwellings
(1) For purposes of this section, the term "cable operator" includes any operator of any satellite master antenna television system, including a system described in section 522 (7)(A) of this title and any multichannel video programming distributor.
(2) Such term does not include any operator of a system which, in the aggregate, serves fewer than 50 subscribers.
(i) Regulatory powers of States and franchising authorities; nonexclusive nature of remedies and enforcement provisions; covered franchises
(1) Nothing in this section shall affect the authority of any State or any franchising authority—
(A) to establish or enforce any requirement which is consistent with the requirements of this section, including any requirement which affords equal employment opportunity protection for employees;
(B) to establish or enforce any provision requiring or encouraging any cable operator to conduct business with enterprises which are owned or controlled by members of minority groups (as defined in section 309 (i)(3)(C)(ii) of this title) or which have their principal operations located within the community served by the cable operator; or
(2) The remedies and enforcement provisions of this section are in addition to, and not in lieu of, those available under this or any other law.

Breakthrough in Nanoresearch Detects Minuscule Cancer Marker
Contact: Janet Sassi
A Fordham physics professor has used new nanotechnology he helped develop to detect a single marker for thyroid cancer, a breakthrough that may lead to practical early detection procedures for several other cancers.
Rendition of a BSA protein detected through hybrid whispering gallery sensor. The greater response to the nanotechnology was attributed to the proteins finding their way to the individual bumps of the nanoplasmonic particle, visible under a transmission electron microscope.

Last year, Stephen Holler, Ph.D., and Professor Stephen Arnold's research team at the Polytechnic Institute of New York University and City University of New York, successfully detected the smallest RNA virus (MS2) through their newly developed and patented
plasmonic hybrid whispering gallery mode sensor
At that time the researchers predicted that the sensor might be successful in detecting particles even smaller than the RNA virus, which measured a mass of 6 attograms (1 attogram is a millionth of a billionth of a milligram). Subsequent tests were done on a single thyroid cancer marker protein (Thyroglobulin) with a mass of 1 attogram, and an even smaller, standard assay protein (BSA) with a mass of 0.11 attogram.
The researchers' whispering gallery mode sensor detected both proteins' presence, smashing the detection limit previously reported for the virus and setting a new benchmark. The thyroid cancer protein is one-sixth the size of the smallest virus.
"Our limit of detection is now approaching a zeptogram—a sextillionth of a gram," said Holler. "This is remarkable. What it means for cancer screening is that we have the sensitivity to easily detect the presence of a host of protein cancer markers. If someone undergoes a cancer treatment, this method can pinpoint following surgery whether some of the cells have been missed."
The sensor works by drawing the bio-nano-particle to a nanoplasmonic "hot spot" and then measuring its presence through a shift in the wavelength of the resonance, i.e., light, of the whispering gallery's sensor, a glass bead. Researchers said both the thyroid cancer and BSA proteins showed surprising sensitivity to the nanotechnology, which means that the whispering gallery mode sensor should easily be able to detect single-protein markers in breast, lung, liver, and ovarian cancers.
Holler has recently teamed up with Patricio Meneses, Ph.D., associate professor of biology at Fordham, to apply the whispering gallery sensor technology to look at HPV, or human papillomavirus, which is responsible for 99 percent of cervical cancers.
Single-protein (molecule) detection is fundamental to biochemical and biomedical research, Holler said, but is traditionally done through a more complex process using fluorescence microscopy and a dye-labeling process that can potentially alter the molecule's function. The whispering gallery mode sensor uses "label-free" detection, which means that particles can be detected in their native state, with interactions potentially able to be followed in real time.
The research, "Label-Free Detection of Single Protein Using a Nanoplasmonic-Photonic Hybrid Microcavity," appears in the
June 18 online issue
of the American Chemical Society's
and was supported by a grant from the National Science Foundation.

Comments On May 29, 2014:First, the helmet is made by Bell so the quality is good, also meets DOT specs. What makes this helmet is the adjustable fit. Old half helmets required that the chin stap be intolerably tight to keep the helmet in place or it felt like the helmet was continually moving around on your head. With this "Drifter" style, the chin strap can even be loose and the helmet stays in place by adjustment of the easy access wheel on the back. If you have ever had an adjustable hard hat with the knob in the back, same thing. And get the helment snug to tight and break it in to fit. I don't think you will find a more comfortable helmet after it is broke in.

Comments On Sep 05, 2013:The adjuster is nice. It keeps the helmet from moving around on your head especially at speed. It does sit a little high on your head and doesn't look as cool as a skull cap but IT IS DOT approved. If my head bounces off the pavement I will be glad I bought this helmet. It has removable ear covers which greatly reduce wind noise and I am sure would be nice in the winter time. Overall its a nice quality helmet for a reasonable price.

Comments On Mar 18, 2013:The little disk in the back of the helmet which adjusts size/fit had bars that came along the side of the temples mid helmet. These were very tight & I believe is what caused this helmet to run small. Otherwise even if snug padding would have conformed to head easily. Get a size larger. Also this fits pretty high above the head, felt like a cone head. Like the style though. wish it would have fit.

Similar to what occurs when firing most modern-style firearms, primer for muzzleloaders ignites a main powder charge. The two most common percussion cap primers are the Number-11 Cap and the 209 Muzzleloader Primer. Each is coated with an explosive substance that when struck by the hammer, creates a spark. The Number-11 Cap is placed directly on the nipple. The 209 Muzzleloader Primer has a much hotter spark and is used where there is a larger amount of powder in the main charge. It is first placed in a primer holder and then on the nipple. Consult the owner's manual of your firearm to determine the recommended primer for your muzzleloader.
Used for inline muzzleloaders
