Abstract—The design and development of Internet applications requiring dynamic and possibly mobile access to Internet resources can take advantage of an approach based on autonomous mobile agents. However, mobility introduces peculiar issues related to the modeling and management of the agents' coordination activities. This paper introduces context-dependent coordination as a framework for the design and development of Internet applications based on mobile agents, and shows how it can be supported by a proper coordination infrastructure. Context-dependent coordination is centered on the notion of programmable coordination media, as the software abstraction via which an agent in an Internet site can access to local resources and coordinate with local agents. Programmability stems from the fact that the behavior of the media can be fully configured to influence agents' coordination activities. This enables local administrators to configure coordination media so as to enact site-dependent coordination policies, and mobile agents to configure the accessed coordination media to obtain an application-dependent behavior of the media themselves. Several application examples shows that exploiting context-dependent coordination promotes a clear separation of concern in design and development, and can make applications more modular and easier to be maintained. The MARS system is assumed as an exemplar coordination infrastructure to clarify the concepts expressed and to show their actual implementation.

Heated MotoGP battle heads to sunny Catalunya
After two consecutive flag-to-flag races for the first time ever in MotoGP, blazing sunshine was a welcome relief for the FIM World Championship paddock as they gathered at Montmeló on Thursday for the Gran Premi Cinzano de Catalunya build-up.
Basking in both the sun and the glory of his favourite football team's recent success, Jorge Lorenzo provided the first media event of the day with the unveiling of a special livery and helmet. The only Spaniard in MotoGP not to hail from the Barcelona area, Lorenzo is nonetheless a big fan of the city's football club, and showed off the F.C.
Gibernau returns to MotoGP after injury
Sete Gibernau will return to motorcycle racing action at the MotoGP in Catalunya next weekend, even though he will be at less than 100% fitness.
Podium finisher at the Montmeló track for three consecutive years between 2003 and 2005, Gibernau's participation in the sixth round of the 2009 MotoGP World Championship looked to be in doubt after he fractured his collarbone at the Grand Prix de France last month.
Gibernau sets return to MotoGP after injury
After his latest injury setback Sete Gibernau misses the visit to Italy for round five but he hopes to be fit for his home race at the Gran Premi Cinzano de Catalunya on 14th June.
Following his crash last Saturday at Le Mans and his subsequent surgery to fix a broken collarbone on Monday in Barcelona veteran rider Sete Gibernau has insisted he will fight to be fit for MotoGP's visit to his home track in Catalunya in mid June.
Gibernau is back but not yet back on top
Grupo Francisco Hernando rider Sete Gibernau has returned to MotoGP this year precisely because of weekends such as the one he has just experienced at the Gran Premio bwin.com de España and the veteran competitor is looking forward to more great racing this year.
The World Championship's visit to Andalusia for the early season 'fiesta' is always a special occasion and Gibernau was proud to be a part of it as he participated in his first European race since 2006.

BISMARCK, N.D. (AP) - North Dakota's top media lawyer is questioning whether the state Board of Higher Education broke open meeting laws during sessions this week involving board members and university presidents.
Three board members met individually with the state's college and university presidents in Bismarck. University System officials say no public notice was required because a quorum of the board was not present.
North Dakota Newspaper Association attorney Jack McDonald says even though there wasn't a quorum, the members in attendance appeared to be authorized to act on behalf of the board. He says that means they were working as a committee and needed to make the meetings public.

Points you should also read from the book "Steve Jobs" by "Walter Isaacson"
The book "Steve Jobs" by "Walter Isaacson" is an exclusive biography of Steve Jobs, co-founder of Apple Inc. This book is based on more than forty interviews with Jobs conducted in over two years. Not only this but this book is also based on the interviews with more than a hundred family members, friends, adversaries, competitors, and colleagues. Following are some of the worth telling quotations from the book:
"One way to remember who you are is to remember who your heroes are. (Steve Jobs)"
"The people who are crazy enough to think they can change the world are the ones who do."
"Steve Jobs: "The best way to predict the future is to invent it." Read more…

Apple's ultra-high definition TV would come in the market by the next year
Main Point:
Apple Inc. is reportedly launching two television sets with 55 and 65-inch screens in the fourth quarter of 2014.
Study Further:
According to analysts at Advanced Research Japan Co., a Tokyo-based research firm, Apple would launch two television sets by the fourth quarter of 2014. These ultra-high definition TV sets will have 55 and 65-inch screens.
The televisions are said to be "frameless". Most probably, the company will get the services of Taiwan's Foxconn Technology Group.
Rumors of the TV sets by the company are there for years but the rumors got strength in 2011 after the death of Steve Jobs and after the release of his biography reporting that he had figured out a way to revolutionize TV.
From Bloomberg,
"Chief Executive Officer Tim Cook said May 29 that TV is an area of "intense focus" for Apple as it seeks to add products that can build on the success of Macs, iPhones and iPads." Read more…

Find Eagles coverage at Bleeding Green Nation. -Joel
Welcome everyone and congratulations on improving Andy's record against the Cowboys!!! We greatly appreciate the help considering our demise at the hands of the Chargers (seriously, screw Rivers). Let's just say that we may have had a better performance on defense if we decided to onside kick on every possession and pray to stop them in the red zone half of the time... at least our O would see the field more. By the way, they are real and they are spectacular. That being said, I answered some questions in NigerianNightmare's post on BGN, so let me just display them hear to preempt some of your questions:
1. Is Vick the real deal? Vick has looked unstoppable in this offense. He has been putting up freakishly good numbers for the last two weeks, but we have not been creatively challenged thus far. While I am not sure if the Chiefs have a better pass rush than the Redskins, I do know your secondary is no joke. The NFC East doesn't have safeties, buy that guy Eric Berry is pretty good (sore subject around hear from an AR draft, but I digress). I do think we put up 24+ points on you guys, but there will be some turnovers and general sloppiness on offense. If not, I am ready to proclaim Chip Kelly a wizard...
2. How's the defense, as they seem to give up lots of yards? Are you around 200 pounds and able to identify which spot you should gravitate towards if your coach shows you a index card that you previously studied? If so, we are auditioning for defensive backs. Please also see us if you are above 280 pounds and would like to pretend to lean on the other team's OL. Defense was absolutely brutal to watch today. Phillip Rivers went 36 for 47 for 419 yards, 3TDs and no picks. Most of the passes were dink and dunks, with the occasional free big play thanks to a safety failing to identify where they need to be in zone defense.
3. Pass rush? Naturally, having no secondary is complimented by generating no pressure. We couldn't hit Rivers with 7 man blitz plays today. I am hoping this was an aberration because we did have some success getting to RG3, but the sight of King Dunlop stopping Trent Cole will give me nightmares for weeks to come.
4. O-line? Easily the most athletic OL in the league and beasts in the run game. Pass pro is fairly solid, but there are some occasional mistakes (with alignment of all things…). We have quality tackles, but are extremely vulnerable to getting beat inside by powerful NTs. Kelce is a smallish center, and Herramans has been frankly awful this year. I expect Poe to cause problems when he is energized, so expect a lot of off tackle runs early on to tire out your DLine.
5. Bonus – keys to a Chiefs' victory. Your team is uniquely situated to do exactly what the San Diego did: dink and dunk while eating up the clock. Alex Smith is the perfect quarterback to play ball control with and should be able to keep us on the sidelines. I don't think you guys have much of a chance in a shootout, but that's okay because our defense forced exactly one punt last game while allowing the Chargers to chew off over 40 minutes of the clock. If Reid can contain his inner Rex Grossman and avoid chucking it deep on every play, you guys should be able to take this one.
If someone could let us know about the Chief's OL and propensity to commit penalties, turn the ball over, and shoot themselves in the foot,
the Eagles defense desperately needs it I would appreciate the insights. Myself and a few other BGNers will probably make our way over here to answer some questions, so ask away!

The UT Student Government was considering a proposal to allow UT police to choose to make marijuana possession of up to 4 grams a misdemeanor.
They voted down that proposal in a 13 to 9 vote Tuesday night.
Pro-pot students want to make a change to marijuana policies on the U.T. campus.
Some students want to change the rules so they won't be arrested for possession of a certain amount of marijuana.
If a student is caught with four ounces or less of marijuana it is at the officer's digression on whether to write a ticket or take the offender to jail.
The proposal would ask police to only write citations.
Supporters claim they want to save U.T. police resources so that they can focus on other security issues on campus. And because it is up to officer digression on whether a student is arrested for possession of less than four ounces supporters say minorities are more likely to face arrest. So they want everyone treated fairly.
But U.T. police say the student government can write any resolution they want but that doesn't mean U.T. police are required to follow along.
"The vote does not dictate how we enforce state law. State law is set up by the legislation and my suggestion is if state law needs to be changed then they need to go with the legislatures and get state law changed," said UTPD Chief Robert Dalstrom.
"We want to make sure that UTPD regardless of how many resources they receive can do their job most effectively and efficiently. By saving them the time, the hour it takes to arrest somebody for marijuana, we'd rather have them save those resources and devote those resources to keeping students safe," said UT Grad Student Robert Love.
The chief says they don't make very many arrests, but we'll still have to wait and see what message students send tonight with their vote.

Online shopping has now turned into a norm. We all see it as convenient because it requires no driving, hours of cart dragging and fighting with a crowd of people for the clear path. These days, it is possible to buy almost everything online. This includes even makeup and skin care products. Just with the help of a credit card or cashier's check, they can be easily bought from any online stores. Unfortunately, there are some drawbacks or disadvantages of using such source for buying cosmetics and skin care products. Just see below:
1. The waiting period for receiving the product might be longer than expected: Online shopping cannot let you have the item in your hand right away. Yes, sometimes, if you agree to pay for the expedited shipping it might reach your home early, but some stores simply do not offer this feature. So whatever you buy ends up reaching your home after a couple of weeks.
2. Online picture of the product turns out to be deceiving: This happens. What you see on screen can turn out to be totally different in real life. So a lipstick that you thought was orange in the picture online might end up being ruby red once it is in your hand.
3. Delivery of expired makeup or skin care item: This hassle goes hand in hand with online shopping sometimes. Sometimes it is seen that the cosmetics and skin care products are delivered in their expired condition. It is possible that the sellers know about it, but feel that the buyers will not notice it. So it is important that as soon as you receive your online bought lipstick, lip gloss or lotion in your hand you check its expiration date.
4. Delivery of used/returned makeup or skin care item: This is another blooming case in the field of online shopping. We caught even Amazon sellers doing it. The item delivered turns out to be already returned or used previously. Perhaps, the seller is well aware of it, but thinks he can get away by sending it to another buyer.
5. The item might well be a counterfeit: There are many producers who like to produce items that imitate products made by the original brands. Their items tend carry certain features of the originals ones. For instance, most often it is not possible to distinguish their packaging style, logo, scent and color from the real products'. But one thing that they lack is the effectiveness. Unfortunately, certain independent stores online do sell such counterfeit products. Being a little careless online shopper can easily make you their victim. By the way, these days, even Amazon and Ebay have become victims of fake products. You will find on those sites lots of listing of Estee Lauder and M.A.C products. It is better to not go for them.
6. The store owner itself might be a scammer: Most independent stores are questionable in nature. In short, they might be just scam sites in disguise. How would you know it? The answer is quite simple. They will have a check out section where they will take down your credit card number. The money from your card will also be withdrawn, but they will not send your purchased item to your house ever. This can turn into a big hassle especially if the said store's owner turns out to be from a distant country. Under such circumstances, there is very little you will be able to do to regain your lost money.
7. Item can get lost on its way to the buyer's destination: It is best not to buy extremely expensive cosmetics and skin care products online, for they might not simply arrive to you at all. The reason behind this is that the postal officials sometimes are irresponsible. So they can easily lose your item. Of course, you can notify the seller about it, but there is very less chance that he will cooperate with you especially if the tracking number is absent in this situation.

Hey guys,
I have been reading these forums for the past few years and just now decided to introduce myself and become a part of the Buffalo Rumblings community.
My name is Jacob and I am currently a sophomore history major at the University of Alabama. I spent the first 17 years of my life living in Buffalo, so winning a national championship in my first year at school came as quite a pleasant surprise. Being at that game in Miami was one of the most amazing sports experiences of my life. I am a die hard Bills fan and perhaps a little crazy just like everybody else who puts their soul into such a tough team to watch.
Being a history major, I avidly study this great game's past and also love to write. Also, the NFL Draft is one of my favorite times of the year and I religiously study film of every prospect I possibly can. I was a huge Orakpo fan in 2009 and it really pissed me off when we drafted Maybin.
If sports make up one half of my life, music definitely makes up the rest. I have been playing guitar for many years and try to go out and see live music at least once a week. Music festivals are my favorite thing in the world.
I look forward to posting as often as I can, as well as meeting all of you.
Go Bills and Roll Tide!

I've spent the last few days weeding out what I want to use or at least try out with my students. Also spent the past few days planning out the curriculum. I'm all planned up to November. Now, I can see some problems with my planning this far ahead. I'm hoping I'm not setting myself up for failure. I figure the more planning that I have for this new course, the better prepared I will be for my students. Also, since I coach JV volleyball until the beginning of November, I want to make sure I have my ducks in a row for the next few months. Coaching takes up a lot of "free" time. Yes, I get paid a small stipend for coaching but it's still time taken away from planning and working on AP stuff.
I'm glad that I teach History. At least I can plan chronologically. I know where I need to start and end regarding curriculum.
I'm still a little stressed about teaching this new course but I feel that if I at least prepare myself, I will be better off getting everything that needs to be taught. Most of the students will know how to write a DBQ since they've come from AP US History (APUSH). I do have a few students that are making the jump from College Prep to AP (which is sorta scary).
Calculated that I have 72 days to teach all the content for AP Euro History before the exam. I lose 16 hours because of early release days and assemblies (this only includes already PLANNED assemblies).
On a positive note:
There are also some great resources on the Internet for AP Euro History.
Any AP teachers out there that have some words of advice or wisdom for a "newbie"??? :=)

Posted by EU Times on Oct 12th, 2013
A shocking new Main Intelligence Directorate (GRU) report circulating in the Kremlin today states that President Barack Obama, while in a rage, ousted four of the United States top ranking military officers after they refused to detonate a nuclear device "in/near" Charleston, South Carolina this past week and, instead, exploded it off the Atlantic Coast.
According to this report, Strategic Missile Forces Command (SMF) notified both President Putin and the General Staff this past Tuesday (8 October) that at 01:58:11 GMT/UTC an atomic device was exploded in the seabed off the US Atlantic Ocean, barely 1,000 km (620 miles) from Charleston, causing a 4.5 magnitude earthquake measurement that SMF experts equate to being a 1-kiloton yield, which is equal to the power of 1,000 tons of TNT.
This report notes that SMF experts are able in differentiate an earthquake from an atomic blast in that in the former the ground starts shaking slowly as plates slide against each other, and then the seismic activity slow picks up as the ground really starts to move. In an atomic explosion scenario, however, the initial blast is extremely powerful, and the subsequent shaking of the ground grows progressively less severe as was the case with the 8 October blast.
The particular atomic device used, this report continues, was a B61-11 Nuclear Bomb Low-Yield Earth-Penetrating Nuclear Weapon, otherwise known as a "mini nuke" which was deployed by the Clinton administration in the post-Cold-War era, but had been rejected for deployment by Presidents Carter, Reagan, and Bush.
The B61-11 can penetrate and detonate below the earth's surface, creating a massive shock wave capable of destroying underground targets. In tests the bomb penetrates only 20 feet into dry earth, even when dropped from altitudes above 40,000 feet. But even this shallow penetration before detonation allows a much higher proportion of the explosion to transfer into ground shock relative to a surface burst.
Critical to note, this report says, are that many warnings to this atomic blast were given prior it 8 October, including to the highly influential Infowars.com website who on 3 September reported:
"A high level source inside the military has now confirmed to us that Dyess Air Force base is actively moving nuclear warheads to the East Coast of the United States in a secret transfer that has no paper trail.

What is Poly-MVA®?
Poly-MVA® is a powerful, patented combination of minerals, vitamins and amino acids designed to support cellular energy production and promote overall health by restoring certain nutrients that may be depleted during intensive medical procedures and therapies. It is designed to provide energy for the compromised body systems by changing the electrical potential of human cells and increasing the charge density of DNA within the cell.
A Brief History of Poly-MVA®
Dr. Merrill Garnett, Formulator of Poly-MVA
Poly-MVA® has been available in the U.S. since 1992. Dr. Merrill Garnett, doctor and research chemist at the Garnett McKeen Laboratory is the inventor of three Poly-MVA®. For nearly 40 years, Dr. Garnett has studied molecular biology and searched to find a molecular compound that would restore healthy pathways for cellular growth and normal development. In 1991, 20,000 compounds later, he discovered that palladium combined with lipoic acid, B-12 and thiamine created a safe and effective cellular nutrient.
Tests have shown that Poly-MVA® is safe and nontoxic, and Dr. Garnett continues to work in cooperation with other researchers to determine the effectiveness of principal ingredients of Poly-MVA® for other uses.
The Top 5 Reasons You Need Poly-MVA®
- Provides unparalleled nutritional support that can be easily used by the body.
- Supports cellular energy production and promotes overall health.
- It's an ultra powerful antioxidant.
- Supports nerve and neurotransmitter function.
- Promotes oxygenation and rejuvenation of cells and tissues.
What are the Health Benefits of Poly-MVA®?
- Replaces nutrients that may be depleted during aggressive therapies.
- Powerful antioxidant.
- Supports the liver in removing harmful substances from the body.
- Assists the body in removing toxic metals from the bloodstream.
- Fights B-12 deficiency-related mental disturbances.
- Promotes normal white blood cell function.
- Supports a healthy pH balance.
- Available in 8 fluid oz. or 4 fluid oz.
Why is Poly-MVA® the Best Nutritional Support Available?
- The manufacturing process by which lipoic acid is bonded to Palladium (LAPd) is in a league of its own. No other company produces any product similar to Poly-MVA®.
- The proprietary formulation of LAPd with other vitamins, minerals, and amino acids provides nutritional support to essential systems in the body.
- It's a powerful antioxidant that can help to neutralize free radicals.
- Research and anecdotal reports suggest the active ingredients in Poly-MVA® may be beneficial in protecting cell DNA and RNA.
- Some studies indicate that ingredients in Poly-MVA® can assist in fighting cell damage and removing toxic metals from the bloodstream.
- Articles in peer reviewed scientific and medical journals discuss the possible biochemical significance of LAPd in supporting various biological functions within animals and humans.
What are the Top 3 Questions People Ask About Poly-MVA®?
1. How does Poly-MVA® work? Poly-MVA® maintains the function of mitochondria, the main source of energy within cells. In healthy cells using aerobic respiration, Poly-MVA® protects cells from damage and enhances function. Healthy cells have "oxygen radical pathways." Normally, oxygen radicals are formed when fatty acids donate electrons to oxygen. These oxygen radicals have an unpaired electron charge and are unstable. Special proteins, in the mitochondria, convert the oxygen radicals into water and useable energy.
2. Why is Poly-MVA® effective? Lipoic acid is a powerful antioxidant. When it is connected to an electrically charged metal substrate, and joined with B vitamins, it becomes soluble in water and fat and can easily and safely travel throughout the body and into every cell.
3. Is Poly-MVA® safe? Poly-MVA® does not have any known negative effects. All of the ingredients are natural and safe, Poly-MVA® is assimilated in the body as a food. During the development the highest administered serving (fifty times higher than maximum recommended serving) still did not produce negative effects. However, everyone is different and if you are under the advice and care of a physician, you should discuss your situation with them. Certain medical conditions may be susceptible to a rapid change in indications when using some dietary supplements, including Lipoic Acid Palladium Complexes.
Additional Tips for Success
- Minimize the use of chelating agents, Vitamin C over 1000mg, and high levels of other antioxidants for six hours before taking Poly-MVA®.
- Minimize your use of free alpha lipoic acid as it may compete with the palladium lipoic acid in Poly-MVA®.
- Avoid tobacco, alcohol, and excessive caffeine. These can inhibit the uptake of Poly-MVA®.
- Avoid Graviola, Zeolites, hydrazine sulfate and Pau D'Arco which may interfere with absorption of Poly-MVA®.
Get Started Today and Boost Your Health and Wellness With Poly-MVA®!
- Thiamin (B-1)
Vitamin B-1 (thiamin is a coenzyme that, in combination with lipoic acid, is involved in the decarboxylation of pyruvate and the oxidation of alpha keto-glutamic acid. These functions are essential to energy production, metabolism of carbohydrates, and neurotransmitter function. B-1 is extremely sensitive to alcohol, sulfites, and tannins found in black tea and coffee; all will render B-1 ineffective. B-1 is water soluble and is not stored in any quantities in the body.
- Riboflavin (B-2)
Vitamin B2 riboflavin acts as a cofactor for enzymes involved in metabolism. It is an essential part of FAD or flavin adenine dinucleotide coenzymes and FMN or flavin mononucleotide. These coenzymes are involved in energy production and the metabolism of protein, fat and carbohydrate – essential processes in every cell in the body. They are also cofactors for two important antioxidant enzyme systems – glutathione peroxidase and xanthine oxidase. Riboflavin coenzymes are also important in the cytochrome p450 enzymes, the body's primary detoxification system.B2) works with the other B vitamins and is important for body growth and red cell production. Similar to thiamine, it helps in releasing energy from carbohydrates.
- Vitamin B-12
- Proprietary Blend
- Palladium
- Alpha lipoic acid
As a powerful antioxidant, LA can help to neutralize the free radicals within the body that are thought to influence aging processes.
- Molybdenum
Molybdenum is a trace mineral that is crucial for regulating pH balance in the body, which, in turn, directly effects oxygenation of cells and tissues, and the resulting metabolic rate of the body.
- Rhodium
- Ruthenium
- Formyl methionine
- N-acetyl cysteine
N-Acetyl Cystiene (NAC) is an amino acid naturally occurring in the body. It is a potent antioxidant that enhances the activity of Vitamins C & E. It enhances the immune system, supports lung function, helps transport sterol hormones, and more.
Other Ingredients:
- Distilled water
- Purified water
- Thiamine hydrochloride
- Vitamin B-12 as cyanocobalamin
Suggested Use for Daily Support
The recommended use for those seeking to maintain optimum health is 1/4 to 2 teaspoon per day, depending on body weight and desired results. Please note, the use of nicotine will reduce the efectiveness of this product.
Suggested Use for Maximum Support
For those seeking enhanced energy production and nutritional support during states of compromised body systems, the recommended use is 2 teaspoons 4-6 times per day(8-12 teaspoons total) for the first 12 to 16 weeks. Some individuals that feel depleted may choose to stay on the higher amounts for longer period of time. Everyone responds differently and your optimum benefit might be maintained at the higher recommended use level. Others may reduce to the normal recommended use after 4-8 weeks and reduce to maintenance use after 12-16 weeks.
Storage Instructions
Store in a cool, dry place or refrigerate after opening.
Toxicology Study
Poly-MVA® has undergone extensive toxicology study by Calvert Laboratories and Pharmakon USA. The toxicology was conducted both intravenously and orally with PdLA. Mice were administered servings of 5,000 mg/kg (a typical human serving is 20 mg/kg). No deaths or signs of organ damage occurred in the test animals. It was concluded that the LD50 of PdLA exceeds 5,000 mg/kg. The same independent lab conducted the Ames test and no mutagenic effects were observed.
Palladium Safety
Platinum and palladium share chemical properties but it appears that platinum coordination complexes are carcinogenic and genotoxic. There is no evidence of any mutagenic property for palladium(Bunger et al. 1996). In a study examining human lymphocytes, platinum demonstrated significant genotoxicity, likely mediated by oxidative damage, compared to palladium (Migliore et al. 2002). Furthermore, palladium demonstrated no genotoxicity in mammalian or bacterial cells when tested using the cytokinesis-block micronucleus test (MNT) or SOS chromotest, respectively (Gebel et al. 1997).
Human Safety
In a university Phase I (SAFETY) study of PdLA, 13 research subjects received study compound (POLY-MVA 10 mL/day) for varying time periods. There were no reported serious adverse effects.
Recently, a Phase I serving escalation (2 tsp., 4 tsp. and 8 tsp.) safety study in normal patients has been completed at a major research university, prior the initiation of an integrative cancer support protocol. Again, no SAEs were reported.

Frequently Asked Questions About Poly-MVA®
- Is Poly-MVA® just a mixture of different ingredients?
- What is Lipoic acid palladium complex?
- What effect does palladium have on the body?
- Can Poly-MVA® be taken daily?
- How long will one bottle of Poly-MVA® last?
- How long does it take to see results?
- Do any substances impact the effectiveness of Poly-MVA®?
- Why is Poly-MVA® expensive?
Is Poly-MVA® just a mixture of different ingredients?
This compound was synthesized to create a metallic bio-organic molecule with fat and water-solubility. Poly-MVA® is not a simple combination of palladium, alpha-lipoic acid, thiamine, etc. Poly-MVA® contains only bound alpha-lipoic acid and palladium.
What is Lipoic acid palladium complex?
Lipoic Acid Palladium Complex is a compound that chemically bonds palladium to alpha lipoic acid and B-1. The binding of palladium with alpha lipoic acid drastically increases nutrient absorption at the cellular level and throughout the body. This patented process is an exclusive achievement that sets Poly-MVA® apart.
What effect does palladium have on the body?
The palladium lipoic acid in Poly-MVA® acts similarly to the cobalt found in Vitamin B-12. Because palladium is bonded in the palladium lipoic acid molecule, it serves primarily as a transport mechanism to support uptake of lipoic acid, while also being theorized to have an effect on the electrical potential of the cell. The lipoic acid palladium complex contained in Poly-MVA® provides a significant portion of the unique action of the supplement.
Can Poly-MVA® be taken daily?
Yes. Poly-MVA® is intended to support the body's systems, strengthen immune response, enhance energy production, and provide high quality essential nutrients in a unique form that can be assimilated effectively.
How long will one bottle of Poly-MVA® last?
Depending on use, an 8 oz. bottle of Poly-MVA® could last over six months. If you are using Poly-MVA® to help maintain optimum health and function, a bottle can last a few months or more. For those who are using it to increase energy or for nutritional support during health challenges, a bottle may last 6 days.
How long does it take to see results?
Dr. Merrill Garnett believes most individuals will notice a difference in how they feel within the first 2-4 weeks. In some cases, energy improvement, increased appetite, etc are noticed in a matter of days.
Do any substances impact the effectiveness of Poly-MVA®?
Chelating agents, Vitamin C over 1000mg, and other antioxidants at high levels above recommended daily allowance should be avoided for at least 6 hours apart from Poly-MVA® ingestion. Tobacco products, alcohol and excessive caffeine may retard uptake of Poly-MVA®. Graviola, Zeolites, hydrazine sulfate and Pau D'Arco may interfere with the absorption of Poly-MVA®, it is recommended to alter these products on different days.
Why is Poly-MVA® expensive?
Palladium is typically more expensive than platinum and the other raw materials cost is much higher than a typical supplement. However, when comparing raw materials, production process, selling price, and benefits, the margins of Poly-MVA® are similar to many other nutritional supplements.

Calculating STL Fade Margin
The net path loss previously derived is then subtracted from this number resulting in the received power level at the far end of the link. The difference between that value and the receiver sensitivity is the resulting fade margin. If the receiver sensitivity is listed in dBm then the conversion is simple. If it is listed in terms of dBmV, dBuV, µV, or some other similar unit, additional conversion must occur before the fade margin drops out of the equation.
The units dBmV, dBuV, and µV are voltage units while dBm (sometimes written as dBmW) is a power measurement. The voltage units are related to power units via the impedance of the equipment under consideration. STL systems are mostly 50 ohm systems, so only that case will be considered here, with the resulting relationships as the following:
Note also that dBmV, dBuV, and µV are interrelated by the following:
So as an example let us consider a 950MHz system that has total fixed loss of 8.5dB, a total antenna gain of 36.0dB, and a path length of 23.0 kilometers. This system also has a transmitter power of 10W and a receiver sensitivity of 4µV.
First the free space attenuation is given by:
The total system gain is then determined and subtracted from the free space attenuation to get the total path attenuation or net path loss.

Does China have a bill of rights?
China does have a Bill of rights, however it is not effective in upholding human rights for people in China. So in practice it is different to that of the US Bill of rights, where government knows that if it makes laws inconsistent with its Bill of rights then the courts can rule it out. The Chinese bill of rights is not enforceable or has not been consistently enforced.
China does have a bill of rights and it is entrenched in their constitution, the bill of righs is section II of their constitution. In this manner it is very much like the US bill of

Demo Impressions: The Rantings of a fanatic.
Hey! BreadKnight here! Your loved(Hated) Sly Cooper fan(dangerously obsessed weirdo) and i'm here to praise(gush) and critique(bitch) some things about the Thieves in Time demo in frothing anticipation of next Tuesday. If you didn't grab the demo yet it's up on PSN on both the PS3 and PS Vita so you can give it a try for yourself.
First up how the characters feel and play.
Sly: Basically the same as previous installments albeit with a little bit of weight seemingly added behind him to make things feel....well...weightier. Unfortunately he still has that stupid spin attack, that thing worked when it was a bonus power in the first game but when it became bound to triangle by default in 3 and replace the awesome uppercut move from 2. At least stealth slam is intact and pick pocketing, as far as I can tell, works just the same.
Bently: Man does this guy play better, he was always the worst playable character, and him being crippled and confined to a wheelchair in the third game didn't make him play much better. However in the short time of playing as him in the demo his movement is smoother, his jump is much more useful and his ability to throw bombs isn't weirdly confined to a gadget slot anymore. The bombs now also stick to enemies which will be crazy useful to make up for his horrid stealth abilities.
Murray: What....what did they do to you big guy!? While he's still in the personae of "The Murray" that I love so much(Except for the higher pitched voice held over from 3....I miss his deep voice) his gameplay has really taken a hit. The apparent lack of an automatic lock on during combat in this game is okay for characters like Sly and Bently who are based on not being seen but Murray is supposed to just run in and kick ass. The removal of his uppercut move for a spin attack is like a war crime(Especially given that uppercut to punch was his go to instant kill move) and without the lock on it's weird punching in peoples direction and missing instead of beating them up with grace. I did like that he can now pick up enemies without stunning them and the grand return of the Thunder Flop though.
Some Random Notes:
You don't have to hold circle to slink around edges now, a small but welcomed change.
Holy crap people are chatty in this game, it's not really an issue it's just...new...somebody seems to always be talking during the intro level.
Yes game....I understand how to double jump...I know how to throw bombs...I get that this is tutorial level, but I have that bad feeling "Clueless Modern Gamer" is going to affect this game.
Murray has a keychain of the Guru and Bently has a picture of Penelope in their binocucoms(Hooray continuity!)
The secret sly masks are pretty easy to find, but that isn't really an issue considering they're just another thing to collect on top of the classic clue bottles.
Having also played the Vita version of the demo I can say that beyond the obviously downgraded graphics and the halved frame rate(to 30FPS) it's the same game and It doesn't look like you'll really be missing out on anything if you go that route.
The time machine is the van, and a big Back To the Future reference, I love it.
So, the game releases next Tuesday on February 5th for only $39.99 on PS3(Includes crossbuy for Vita version) or $29.99 for the Vita version by itself. I would hope you're all as excited for it as I am, but I'm pretty dangerously anticipating this thing here.

Ryan's Happy, Drunk, In London
Ryan's Happy, Drunk, In London
by Molly Goodson 74 Reactions 0 Shares Print
Ryan Phillippe showed off his patriotic and kinda self-named Phillies hat (ha) leaving Boujis in London last night. He's puttering around Europe to make his next movie and is obviously enjoying his lag time before having to report to set. Hey, I'd much rather see jovial playful drunken Ryan rather than anything angry. Oh, who am I kidding -- that burger throwing thing was kinda hilarious.

I definitely agree that Ryan IS NOT HOT AT ALL. He has no class at all and his days in Hollywood are numbered. He still acts and dresses like he is still in his early twenties. The truth is he is a 32 year old man soon to be divorced husband with 2 kids who needs to GROW UP and get with the program. After what he has done to Reece I think Hollywood and his fans have frown on him quite heavily. I dont see much of a future in Hollywood for him anymore. He is no good.

can't stand him. I met Reese in a hotel lobby in Charleston SC once and we started talking about the "Holy City" and it's great restaurants and history, she was so charming. So real, you almost wouldn't think she was famous. Then he came down the stairs (it was in a historic hotel) and he acted like, don't look at me I'm too famous for you, wouldn't even make eye contact! Reese smiled and actually said Goodbye and have a nice day to me..Ryan just looked straight ahead. I haven't cared for him since.

I like Ryan having some fun. All the pictures I see of him lately he's doing some press thing or else he's with his kids or shopping/walking to his car by himself. I haven't seen him do anything outrageous. I don't get how that means that he needs to grow up. I'm trying to think of a male actor who would meet the high standard of maturity a lot of people seem to be looking for: Jude Law, Colin Farrel, Jared Leto, Josh Harnett, Chris Klien, Zach Braff none of them are any better then Ryan and most are actually worse.

Downtown Gering may soon receive some upgrades if the city is awarded a grant.
The Gering City Council is applying for a $30,000 grant for the second time.
The first time the city applied it wasn't selected.
Twin Cities Development representatives say this grant involves a different pool of funds that isn't as competitive and will give Gering a better chance.
The planning grant money would be used to bring in someone to focus the merchants and city government's ideas.
"It seemed that the overriding concern is that there aren't enough retail stores in Gering. The other one they said was pretty high on the list was restaurants."
The grant would also go toward improving building facades and infrastructure.

Klingons cut from Star Trek XI! jatlhwI'pu' !! April 28, 2009Posted by showmescifi in scifi.
Tags: J J Abrams, klingon, Sci Fi, science fiction, sciencefiction, scifi, star trek XI
J J Abrams is so keen on having his vision of Star Trek – 90210'ish that he's cut Klingon from the movie.
Yup that's right. A classic era trek film where there is no spoken Klingon.
It's total FRAKKIN BS.
"We actually had a sequence that ended up getting cut from the movie that took place on Rura Penthe, in a Klingon prison," co-writer Alex Kurtzman told SCI FI Wire, explaining the deletion. "And there was definitely Klingon spoken in the movie, and it ended up getting cut."
So while this new movie might look slick, by cutting out the Klingon this new film is cutting out the Warrior heart of the Star Trek Universe.
If they end up making Star Trek XII let's sure hope it's a full on Klingon Federation war!
- 11. naHQun - April 30, 2009
#1 Universal? Do you mean Paramount?
#2 I'm sure they would have used the "non-dorky" Klingons.
#3 Actually, all 10 movies to date do in fact have Klingons.
TMP starts with three Klingon ships encountering V'Ger (sp?), introduces the foreheads, and spoken Klingon.
TWOK starts with a simulated battle involving the Klingon neutal zone, and has Khan quote a Klingon proverb.
TSFS has Klingons as the main bad guys, introduces the Bird-of-Prey, and is the film Marc Okrand invented tlhIngan Hol for.
TVH The main ship is a Bird-of-Prey. And the Klingon diplomat guy ranting about Kirk.
TFF A whole lot of Klingon scenes and spoken Klingon.
TUC It's a Klingon movie. It's all about the Klingons. We even have Shakspeare in Klingon. Uhura even speaks Klingon. Pink blood!
G Duras sisters. and their crew and ship. Worf.
FC Worf. He gets some good lines in.
I Worf. Klingon puberty.
N Worf.
So it gets a little weak going into the TNG movies, but the TOS movies (which the new movie is) were heavily Klingon. Only TWO of which did NOT have spoken Klingon.
- 12. randomTrekkie - April 30, 2009
puhLEASE!!! "by cutting out the Klingon, this new film is cutting out the Warrior heart of the Star Trek Universe"??? Give me an f'ing break!! TOS is what we're talking, and it wasn't <>!!! Romulans were a very big enemy as well!! I mean, look at how many episodes dealt with the Romulan Neutral Zone, etc!!
- 13. Hawkster - May 1, 2009
oh puh-leese! This is like saying that cutting the Cthulu-esque monster from the end of Watchmen was the reason people hated the movie.
Do you want the move to have broad appeal, or just be made for hyper-sensitive purists? Get over it!
- 14. J.L.Lee - May 1, 2009
Sounds like a complaint the UN may be competent enough to handle. After all aren't Klingons responsible for Darfur and piracy off Somalia?
- 15. J.L.Lee - May 1, 2009
I'll bet Gillette is pissed! This move killed their marketing campaign for Klingon deodorant spray.
- 16. Retinax 5 - May 1, 2009
I saw the movie last night at the INTEL screener. The movie does have Klingon's ah la ST:TWOK, Three newer Klingon D-7 type battlecruisers in Kirk's 3rd Kobayashi Maru test where he "cheats."
Other than that… no Klingons.
- 17. Tom - May 5, 2009
Remember that this movie Must, in order to preserve the time line, pay homage to the origional style of Klingon, or, not have any at all. Anyone that watched and followed the rather weak to start Enterprise series would know the origion of the lack of the Klingon brow ridges during Kirks era.
That just couldn't be dismissed for this movie, now could it?
- 18. Craig - May 7, 2009
So how many of the TOS episodes actually had Klingons? Not more than 10 or so. It seems the movies have been too heavy with Klingons. I have no problems with lack of Klingons for a change.
- 19. TrekNut - May 11, 2009
I just got back from seeing the movie and i'm a long time Trekkie fan, and i was very very pleased in what i saw , fantastic story . And i'm sure Kligons will be in the next movie, it's very likely. At least we got to see Birds of Prey for a short while.
- Cliven - June 17, 2009
Actually the ships in the Kobayshi Maru test were referred to them as warbirds, which was canonically very wrong. Prior to "The Enterprise Incident", the Feds had no knowledge of Klingon/Romulan technological exchange. The movies, and subsequent fan paradigms, have forgotten that "the "bird of prey" image is 100% Romulan, NOT Klingon, and that Klingon ships were simply called "battle cruisers" in TOS. ST III introduced the "Klingon" BoP because the baddies were originally supposed to be Romulan, but they kept the ship when the villains were switched to Klingons. That the ship looked Klingon was easily explained by the Rom adopting Klingon designs (which they did in ToS since their own ships were technically inferior) but tossing a cloak on it.

Tax Administrator Interview (Negative Experience; Very Difficult Interview)
I applied online and the process took a day - interviewed at Eaton Vance in November 2011.
Interview Details I got a call from HR on Friday. I didn't catch the call due I was busy. She asked me to return the call to the certain number. I called back on Monday, but no one answered the calls so I left voice mail. HR didn't get back to me back so when I called on Tuesday again. I don't know if I called too many calls (2 calls within Monday and 1 call on Tuesday). HR just cut my call when I called again around noon. It is pretty mean and weird.
