Traditionally Ngauruhoe has erupted at least every nine years. At the time of writing the last eruption was in 1975.
Tongariro was the first national park formed in New Zealand, and the fourth in the world. It was the first national park in the world to be gifted by a country's indigenous people, on 23 September 1887.
When established the original size of Tongariro National Park was 2,640 hectares. It has gradually increased to its present size of 79,596 hectares.
Today, approximately one million people visit Tongariro National Park each year. Despite the popular ski fields on Mount Ruapehu, there are more visitors in summer than winter due to the excellent hiking opportunities.
The park's central location means it is easy to access from both Auckland and Wellington and other locations in the North Island.
Tongariro National Park is centered around three active volcanoes:
Mount Ruapehu has several peaks:

"Last Autumn, Leeds Booklet Printing Company conducted a thorough and rigorous selection process of the UK's top 50 creative agencies before finally deciding that Taxi Studio was the perfect partner to devise and deliver an entirely new brand name and identity system for their business – bespoke, academic planners.
Taxi's involvement encompassed all aspects of the rebranding process, including DNA workshops, strategic positioning, customer research, name generation, design, artwork and roll-out across all their brand touch points."
"The new logo blends traditional typography with the progressive pinstripe to create a campaignable thread, while the identity-at-large is based on a series of striking line drawings, embodying the order and smartness of both the product range and the company culture. This was also the rationale for their new name 'Penstripe', generated as a playful twist on the classic British pinstripe suit.
Creative Director Ryan Wills said: "From the off this was a project that captured all our imaginations. We strived to create a brand that wasn't just professional but approachable and, most importantly, perfectly tailored to the client's personality."
"Darren Anderson, Managing Director at Penstripe said: "We set Taxi the challenge of creating a new brand that had the potential to stretch into new sectors and give us a credible digital presence. Not only have they excelled in delivering but our new strapline 'Think Smart Achieve More' has rallied the whole company. We're looking to the next chapter with genuine excitement and enthusiasm and couldn't be happier."

text: Touchstone: A Journal of Mere Christianity "Paul's Apology" first appeared in the May/June 2013 issue of Touchstone. AS IT IS WRITTEN. . . . by Patrick Henry Reardon Paul's ApologyIt would be easy to suppose that the Gospels, because they fill the first pages of the New Testament, represent the earliest literary exercise in Christian biography. This is not the case, however; the Epistle to the Galatians predates the earliest of the Gospels (Mark) by more than a decade. And if we don't think of Galatians as a work of Christian biography, we are not reading it very The biographical aspect of Galatians is, of course, autobiographical. Indeed, it represents a special form of autobiography; it is a "personal apologetic." It is Paul's defense of his life and ministry, directed against those detractors who claimed he was no real apostle and possessed no valid teaching authority in the Church. To refute those detractors, Paul first appealed to the facts of his life, and that appeal began with the opening chapter of Galatians. In his two earlier epistles—to the Thessalonians—Paul was content to identify himself simply as "Paul." With Galatians, however, Paul started identifying himself as "Paul, an apostle of Jesus Christ," sometimes with the addition of "by the will of God." This designation is emphatic in the case of Galatians, where he begins, "Paul, an apostle, not from men nor through man, but through Jesus Christ and God the Father who raised him from the dead. . . ." The point of Paul's insistence here is that his connection to Jesus is immediate—"that the gospel which was preached by me is not according to man. For I neither received it from man, nor was I taught but through the revelation of Jesus Christ." It is in support of this apologetic claim that Paul turns to autobiography, reminding his readers how he started as a seriously observant Jew—even to the level of persecuting Christians. However, this all stopped, says Paul, "when it pleased God, who separated me from my mother's womb and called me through his grace, to reveal his Son in me." This autobiographical comment, which is the first extant account of a Christian's conversion, is significant in several ways. First, although Paul was certainly not the first convert, he was the first to write about his conversion. Christian literary reflection did not begin with the biography of Jesus but with the testimony of a believer's internal and existential conviction. Second, even though Paul—as far as we can determine—never knew Jesus "in the days of his flesh," he considered his knowledge of the Savior not one whit inferior to that of the original apostolic band. Third, the defense of Paul's ministry rested on an immediate, conscious, and existential certainty; it was inseparable from the transformation of his mind, initiated "when it pleased God . . . to reveal His Son in me." Fourth, it was the very God of Israel—the God Paul always strove to serve—who revealed this Son. The revelation given in Jesus was not the disclosure of a God hitherto unknown. What was new was this God's relationship to Jesus. It was because of Jesus that Paul could call this God "our God and Father" (1:4). Fifth, it was this "God and Father" who inwardly drew Paul to Jesus as his Son. Therefore, Jesus could say to Paul—as he said to Peter—"flesh and blood has not revealed this to you, but my Father who is in heaven" (Matt. 16:17). Jesus enunciated the principle involved in this revelation: "No one can come to me unless the Father, who sent me, draws him" (John 6:44). The Epistle to the Galatians is our earliest literary record of this perception, later elaborated in Christian theology: God's design of, and gracious influence on, man's conscience, so that he might be drawn to the knowledge of the Son. Inquiring how God draws the human mind to his Son, William of St. Thierry answered, Before a single one of the Gospels was written, a theological controversy in Galatia prompted the Apostle Paul to examine his memory and conscience respecting the experience of his own conversion. The dynamic reality of the gospel lived in the human conscience before it was consigned to writing. Patrick Henry Reardon is pastor of All Saints Antiochian Orthodox Church in Chicago, Illinois. He is the author of Christ in the Psalms, Christ in His Saints, and The Trial of Job (all from Conciliar Press). He is a senior editor of Touchstone.

text: General Holland M. Smith, USMC Ret. & Percy Finch Battery Press, 1989. Reprinted from the Scribners 1949 edition. NEW, still in shrinkwrap. Hardcover. Gilt lettering & decorations on green boards. Eagle, globe & anchor on front cover & spine. Frontispiece, index, 287 pp. "One of the most important, picturesque and controversial figures of WWII, 'Howlin' Mad' Smith here tells his story--and the story of the Marine Corps' magnificent achievement in the war with Japan. General Smith was big brass himself: pioneer in amphibious warfare, commanding general at Tarawa, Saipan and Iwo Jima, eventually commander of all Marine land operations against Japan. But he has not been inhibited by the chilly altitude of the high echelons. His book possesses all the explosive vigor and forthrightness that have made 'Howlin' Mad' Smith famous. He pulls no punches in demanding full recognition for his beloved Marines. The major part of this book deals with the Pacific War; and when General Smith describes a campaign, it is no military-textbook account; it is a fighting man's story. You won't forget his account of the Saipan battle or his picture of the bloody beaches of Tarawa. Whenever the General thinks mistakes were made, he says so-- frequently with blistering effect. He says that the seizure of Tarawa was unnecessary; that time and again the Navy failed to prepare the way for invasion with sufficient bombardment; that Admirals who wanted to act as Generals imperilled victory in the coral islands. In describing the long-suppressed controversy over Saipan, when he removed the Army's General Ralph Smith from his command, the General claims that the episode has been magnified out of all proportion by inter-Service jealousies. 'Howlin' Mad' Smith has always stood up for his Marines. Since WWI he has fought to win for the Marines equal participation with other branches of the service. It was a battle to obtain support for the revolutionary methods of amphibious invasion worked out by the Marines before the war-- a battle against traditionalism, stupidity and apathy on the part of the big brass. How the technique of assaulting supposedly impregnable beaches was developed makes an absorbing story. The portrait of a great fighting man emerges from these pages-- a man who typifies the spirit of the Marine Corps." $38.00

This floor lamp is exquisite, elegant, and sturdy. I could not be happier with it. The upright light is pleasantly bright when needed and soothingly "warm" when dimmed. The reading/spot light is quite bright and fairly easy to manuever into various positions. The stem/base is sleek and shiny in a, "looks like I paid considerably more for it than I actually did", kind of way.
i didn't know what to label this...the lamp is totally beautiful and the light it puts out is fantastic...the dimming feature is wonderful. so why am i giving this only 3 stars? because the top shade is way crooked and i can bend it to make it somewhat level, but then it just goes back to crookedeness(is that a word?) anyway, the lamp does look really awesome, so i'm going to return this and order another one. hopefully it's just an anomaly and the next 1 will be perfecto, in which case i will give it 5 stars lol.
Other than the long stick protruding from the secondary lamp, this is a nice looking torch. Unfortunately it suffers from two fatal flaws. First, the light hums/buzzes. Not quite obnoxiously, but in a silent room it's definitely noticeable (and annoying). Second, and more importantly, you need some really dexterous feet to use the floor dimmer. Had that part been better engineered, I would have considered this a 4-5 star lamp.
It is a great lamp and we especially enjoy the slider control for the big lamp on top. A very unusual looking lamp, easy to put together and arrived in a timely manner on the door step!!
I am happy with the lamps looks and how it works. The only complaint that I have is that the on/off switch is on the floor so is not handy to get at while sitting in the recliner that it is being used by; would have been nicer to have it on the lamp itself within reach of the person sitting in the chair.
From the outset, the lamp was very loud when turned on: it hummed and sizzled routinely. Within months, the lightbulb in the small light blew out, and replacement was a pain. Then came the flickering from the big light. Then the floor switch wouldn't work; we had to unplug it completely because even when turned "off"," the lamp would flicker and turn off and on. The last straw was when the big light began sizzling, flickering, and smoking. This lamp didn't even last a year.
Overall design is beautiful, but poor quality. First there's a slight crack in the glass bowl on top and the lamp on top simply doesn't turn on!! The side lamp works (bulb came with product). But the top requires 2 bulbs and I've tried various ones, all new, and none works so it's the lamp that's broken!! Lamps $*** less work better than this!!
Love this lamp very modern, looks better than pictured, get so many compliments
I love this lamp. It is heavy and well balanced. If your lamp is humming, change your light bulb to the ones specified by the manufacturers. I tried both and the fluorescent bulbs cause the hum. Hope this helps!
This lamp is beautiful. Its very well made, very heavy too! I love the dimmer switch! I have a table next to the chair its behind so I put the control on the table instead of the floor. I wish the small reading light had a little chain to pull to turn it off and on, instead, the control is in the main switch, which makes it a little inconvenient. But, overall, love the lamp! Very classy and sophisticated looking!

This study explored the ways in which self-appraisal relates to concerns about weight and food among restrained eaters. Network modeling was used to visually depict the restrained eaters' self-schemas, structures that organize information relevant to self-assessment, and to compare the self-schemas of restrained eaters and controls. Twenty-six restrained eaters and 24 controls rated the relatedness of self-evaluation and weight/food-related concepts. These relatedness ratings were transformed via a scaling algorithm into schematic networks, which were interpreted as models of self-schemas. The self-schemas of restrained eaters centered more around weight/food-related concepts and contained more links between self-evaluative and weight/food-related concepts than the schemas of controls. This study offers empirical support for theoretical formulations about distorted self-evaluation among restrained eaters and provides a novel methodology for assessing self-representation.

Apple v Samsung verdict has lowered Android resale values, says major resale retailer
Posted By Ashraf On August 28, 2012 @ 9:00 PM In Android | 3 Comments
Some people are claiming Apple v Samsung has helped Samsung sales [2]. According to a major second-hand devices vendor, the resale market of Samsung devices — and Android devices in general — is not so lucky.
Gazelle, a company that buys used electronic devices from consumers and resells them, is reporting a 50% spike in trade-ins of Samsung Android devices during the three days that followed Apple v Samsung [3]. As basic economics teach us, increase in supply leads to a decrease in price. According to Gazelle, the 50% spike has resulted in a 10% decrease in resale value of Samsung handsets.
While on the forefront this is a bad thing, it should be mentioned this decrease in resale value isn't completely a bad thing. It is bad for those looking to sell their used Samsung handsets because now they will get lower than what they would have got before (at least from Gazelle). On the flip side, this is good for those looking to purchase used Samsung handsets because, presumably, Gazelle will lower the price of the used Samsung handsets they resell due to lower acquisition costs.
According to MarketWatch, some "experts" (I put experts in quotes because I'm not exactly sure who MarketWatch is quoting, aside from the CEO of a website that lists technology deals — how does that make him an expert?) predict that this dumping of Samsung handsets is a trend that will be extended to other Android handsets because the Apple v Samsung verdict [4] has made people uncertain about Android's future — uncertain about what future Android devices will hold, if they will have the same features as people enjoy now.
It should be mentioned Android devices have never had the high resale value of iDevices to begin with, and this decrease in resale value just widens the gap.
I don't know about you but I'm not too sure I buy the explanation that people are dumping Android handsets because they are uncertain about Android's future. Of course it could be that people are limiting their losses (i.e. getting out of Android before its demise); however, to me it would seem like if people were afraid of what features future Android devices will have (or not have), they would be hording the devices they have now to keep them satisfied until they can see what happens to Android. Then again, who said the general public has to behave rationally? Or, maybe I am irrational.
If you want to play devil's advocate, you could see the increase in the trade-in of used Samsung handsets as an indicator that people are looking to get rid of their old devices to quickly upgrade to newer ones. You know, before Samsung devices magically disappear thanks to Apple. This explanation, of course, would go hand-in-hand with Chowdhry's observation [5] of an increase in Galaxy S III [6] sales.
Whatever the logic behind the increased trade-ins may be, one can't argue with Gazelle's facts that trade-in of Samsung handsets has spiked after Apple v Samsung. It is obvious Apple v Samsung has sent tidal waves throughout the industry. This is another one. What long term effects will this have, no one really knows.

Literacy Planet app finds success in Asia
PUBLISHED: 07 May 2013 00:06:21 | UPDATED: 07 May 2013 08:51:29PUBLISHED: 07 May 2013 PRINT EDITION: 07 May 2013Literacy Planet founder Shane Davis and chief executive Chris Roberts have harnessed the power of gamification to teach English online. Photo: Glenn Hunt
Jessica Gardner
Fairy bread and red cordial are not obvious learning aids, but kids were so mad for a new online educational game launched in 2010 that they were hosting Literacy Planet parties.
Three years later the party favours have been swapped for Hello Kitty lollies and bubble tea but the strong take-up is the same. Gold Coast venture Literacy Planet has signed three Asian distribution deals in the past six months.
For the family business backed by James Packer-linked fund Ellerston Capital, the Asian growth story has two main benefits apart from sheer population, chief executive Chris Roberts says.
"More important is their propensity to invest in education," he says. "As a percentage of disposable income it is much greater than in Australia. [And] the rapid roll-out of broadband and 4G networks is really opening that market up" to penetration by digital media.
Local start-ups are gradually opening their eyes to opportunities in Asia, outside of the well-travelled path to Silicon Valley. Two venture capital-backed app developers, biNu and Paloma Mobile, are focusing on emerging markets, while Sydney technology incubator Pollenizer opened an office in Singapore in August 2012.
A lot of entrepreneurial success relies on being wise to new trends. But the team behind Literacy Planet has shown that it is adept at both economic and technological developments.
Long lead-in for start-up
Founder Shane Davis began importing educational mathematics CD-ROMs in the late '90s. He doubted the quality so he began producing the products himself. By 2006, Davis, working with his two sons, saw that cloud technology was a potential disruptor to compact discs.
In 2008, he began work on Literacy Planet, but it would be two years before a product was on offer.
The start-up is a web and tablet-based collection of games, like Wordmania and Donkey Dash, that teach English to primary school aged kids. Each student has a login and an avatar. By completing tasks correctly, students move levels, unlock prizes and earn points that allow them to dress up their avatar and interact with other users, such as giving a friend a high five.
"Gamification and the sense of community that we've enabled are probably the top drivers of that high degree of engagement from the children's perspectives," Roberts says.
About $8.5 million in funding has been injected into the start-up. About $6 million has come from backers Map Capital Partners and Ellerston Capital, which own more than 50 per cent of the business between them. The rest has come from family, friends and grants.
Market positioning
Schools pay for access. In Australia, the cost is about $15 per student, per annum. Going into Asia, the cost will vary depending on the socio-economic status of the school and the distribution agreement. In Australia, 50,000 students use Literacy Planet. The company has just pierced $1 million in revenue.
Through organic growth, about 8000 foreign users from 15 countries are using Literacy Planet.
A commitment in the Philippines, via an introduction from Map to a company that delivers text messaging services to schools (such as alerting parents to truancy), will increase that number to 13,000 this year, Roberts says.
The company is a "launch partner" to FrogAsia in Malaysia, a virtual learning world. It has also teamed up with a Shanghai-based education company.
Up until this point, children overseas have used an Australian version of Literacy Planet, but the company intends to begin tailoring content, which will open it up to "the bigger mass markets", Roberts says.
As a cloud-based service, the start-up can capture, store and analyse data for use by teachers – anything from the number of correct answers to how long individual students spend on a question or what themes kids are struggling with. It's this back-end that the company will focus on for its tailored content, as young users engage so deeply with the gameplay that the foreign language doesn't seem to matter.

Grumble Grumble Grumble
This topic seems to fit better in the Graphics section...
well this is going to be about Anmie and the study of art so the reason that it is hard for me to draw anmie and such is because as i was studying art you have certin futures on a male to show it for example a male has a larger jaw bone and bigger cheek bones also and a Adams apple and so on.. and for women larger hips less broad shoulders than men not as thick of a back (from side view).
now also for those who live in japan (i wish i could visit one day) and for you it might be easier because for the Asian culture they dont have many of these Defined Characteristics.
buy any ways what is your state of mind when drawing and when u are do you take any of these things in to consideration?

I love Anime just because.
Hello, I'm new.
Will be deleted and an infraction given.
I only draw when I'm in the mood for drawing or when someone assign me to draw something & when I draw I take every point in consideration coz this is what defines the character of the anime
"If you do not believe in yourself, hardwork is useless"
"Might Gai" from "Naruto"
lol spam again.
I want to say that when i draw i need people to help me out and tell me what to draw. Im kind of a drawing slave although i can draw well, i have no imagination whatsoever. Sad yes but i have many friends who will help me a out and they are all imaginative. Whenever they bring up an idea, i feel like drawing.
I love to draw all the time. My favourite thing to draw is characters from Naruto.
I love to draw all the time. I just haven't had the chance to because I need to find more tutorials and because I pretty much already used up the sketchbook I got for Christmas already. >.<

MJA, the boat is docked part of that time, so there are really only a couple (few?) hours when you can't leave.
But yea. I had fun last year, but I wanted to leave, while we were away from shore, and ended up just sitting on the decks not even listening to music. No boat party for me this year. KMS 25 + Rare Form I think.

I think that the debate about her career ending could be settled if people were allowed more than the few movies that still exist of her today to analyze and see if her performances were becoming repeated and if audiences were just tiring of her.
Maybe her time had simply passed in the movie industry or it could be because of her husband. But, to be honest after the Hayes Code if she had any thoughts about making a comeback they stopped once Hollywood adopted the code because her popularity revolved around how she looked and that would never be allowed again in that era after 1930 once the code was implemented.

Hormone replacement therapy
Hormone replacement therapy (HRT) refers to any form of hormone therapy wherein the patient, in the course of medical treatment, receives hormones, either to supplement a lack of naturally occurring hormones, or to substitute other hormones for naturally occurring hormones. Common forms of hormone replacement therapy include:
- Hormone replacement therapy for menopause is based on the idea that the treatment may prevent discomfort caused by diminished circulating estrogen and progesterone hormones, or in the case of the surgically or prematurely menopausal, that it may prolong life and may reduce incidence of dementia.[1] It involves the use of one or more of a group of medications designed to artificially boost hormone levels. The main types of hormones involved are estrogens, progesterone or progestins, and sometimes testosterone. It often referred to as "treatment" rather than therapy.
- Hormone replacement therapy for transgender people introduces hormones associated with the gender that the patient identifies with (notably testosterone for trans men and estrogen for trans women). Some intersex people may also receive HRT. Cross-sex hormone treatment for transgender individuals is divided into two main types: hormone replacement therapy (female-to-male) and hormone replacement therapy (male-to-female).
- Androgen replacement therapy (andropausal and ergogenic use) is a hormone treatment often prescribed to counter the effects of male hypogonadism. It is also prescribed to lessen the effects or delay the onset of normal male aging. Additionally, androgen replacement therapy is used for men who have lost their testicular function to disease, cancer, or other causes[citation needed].
Rodent studies for HRT[edit]
Many studies on the effects of Hormone Replacement Therapy (HRT) have been conducted on rats. Predominantly, these studies have looked at the effects of estradiol, a type of estrogen, on rats' performances on various tasks. Often, the rodents will be ovariectomized, meaning they have their ovaries removed. This prevents the production and release of estrogen and progesterone, and mimics the occurrence of menopause in human females. Once the ovaries have been removed, researchers will administer estrogen, progesterone, or both to see what the effects are on the rats' behaviors. Rats are good animal models because they have similar cognitive deficits to humans as they age, and administering hormone therapy to them is easy.[2]
Overall, the results of these studies are non-conclusive. Some studies find impairments due to the HRT, where others find improvements. A common theme that runs through many studies is that rats that are given HRT perform better on tasks activating the hippocampus, and worse on tasks involving the prefrontal cortex. For example, Wang et al. (2009) found that ovariectomized rats that were exposed to estradiol did considerably worse than rats who were not exposed to estradiol, on a delayed spatial reasoning task – a task that activates the prefrontal cortex.[3] Another study that looked at the effects of estradiol in ovariectomized rats, found that when HRT was administered immediately following the removal of the ovaries, there was a decrease in anxious and depressive behaviors, while also improvement on cognitive performance on an object-placement task (though this was a hippocampal-based task).[4] Hence, the timing of the hormone replacement therapy and the activated brain regions are significant factors in assessing effectiveness of HRT. Another important aspect is whether or not the treatment is chronic or cyclic. Chronic treatment is daily doses of the hormone, while cyclic treatment is based on the normal cycling patterns of that hormone. One study found that the group of rodents, who received estradiol and a type of progesterone chronically, performed the worst on the maze task; whereas, the group who received only estradiol cyclically showed some improvements.[5]
More research in this area is needed. Some important results can be gathered from these rodent studies though. First, that differing brain regions may respond in a variety of ways to HRT. Second, that the timing of the therapy is integral to the chances of success. Third, that how the hormones are administered, either chronically or cyclically, may make an important difference in their effectiveness.
Effects on women[edit]
As recently as 2005 women have had a positive attitude towards hormone replacement therapy but based on the empirical data these attitudes may be overly optimistic.[6] There is still much to learn about how HRT affects people. In the combined hormone trial, the WHI tested only one estrogen (Premarin) and one progestin (Provera), in a single pill (Prempro), at a single dose (0.625 mg Premarin and 2.5 mg Provera). Therefore the results are not reliable nor representative.
To avoid HRT risks it is essential to use the most effective delivery method of both estrogen and progesterone. Bioidentical estradiol (estrogen) when taken orally is converted in the liver to estrone, a weaker bioidentical estrogen. However when estrogen as estradiol is used transdermally as a patch, gel, or pessary, it enters the bloodstream as bioidentical estradiol. When estrogen is ingested it is subjected to first pass metabolism (Phase I drug metabolism) and is processed through the liver. This first pass metabolism stimulates proteins associated with heart disease and stroke, such as C-reactive protein, activated protein C, and clotting factors. Using a patch, gel or pessary to take estrogen avoids first pass metabolism and the risks associated with it and the same level of blood concentration can be achieved avoiding the serious side effects associated with oral estradiol HRT. Current research shows that the transdermal route of estradiol administration can also be advantageous for women with diabetes, hypertension and other cardiovascular risk factors, as those risks increase with advancing age.[7] Women taking bioidentical estrogen, orally or transdermally, who have a uterus must still take an FDA-approved progestin or micronized progesterone to lower the risk of endometrial cancer. The natural, plant-derived progesterone creams sold over the counter contain too little progesterone to be effective. Wild yam (Dioscorea villosa) extract creams are not effective since the natural progesterone present in the extract is not bioavailable. [8]
Past research has highlighted potential risks of HRT however the principal results from the Women's Health Initiative Randomized Controlled Trial concluded that estrogen in combination with micronized progesterone is not associated with an increased risk of breast cancer.[9]
A study where women going through menopause using HRT with Progestin as a major component of the therapy showed a few negative effects on hearing, which highlights the importance of choosing bioidentical progesterone instead of synthetic progestin. Not only does the Progestin decrease the functionality of many regions of the ear it also reduces the effectiveness in parts of the central nervous system used for hearing.[10] Also in some situations it has been shown that menopausal women who are caregivers and receive HRT can have an increased chance for cardiovascular issues. As caregivers it is implied that they have more acute stress in their lives and that acute stress along with the HRT is priming negative cardiovascular effects.[11]
Recent research done by the Million Women Study, funded by Cancer Research UK has proven that certain forms of HRT increase the risk of endometrial (womb) cancer. However, previous research has shown that the combined type of HRT poses a greater breast cancer risk than tibolone or oestrogen (estradiol)-only HRT and, because breast cancer is more common than endometrial cancer, the researchers believe that when considering the overall effect of HRT it is important to look at both breast and endometrial cancer.[12] However this study was conducted using oral estradiol instead of transdermal estradiol which avoids the risks which the study highlights. Again, this shows that the combined estrogen patch (such as Evorel® Conti) or gel (ESTROGEL PROPAK™ - 17ß-estradiol and micronized progesterone) is the preferable treatment choice.[13]
The Society of Obstetricians and Gynaecologists of Canada recommends Transdermal Estrogen and Micronized Progesterone as a first line hormone therapy option stating that the overall benefits of this therapy include reduction of vasomotor symptoms (hot flashes), lower risk of osteoporotic fractures, lessening of urogenital atrophy, lowering somatic pain and arthralgia, lowering the risk of colorectal cancer and mood stabilisation.[14]
There is a structural difference between hormone therapies that are bioidentical and those that are non-bioidentical, as non-bioidentical are responsible for side effects and health risks in humans. However, they can have positive health benefits for women, and bioidentical hormones can be customized from individual to individual. [15]
Hormone replacement therapy has been shown to have other beneficial effects. In a study women taking estrogen through HRT showed that the estrogen positively affects the prefrontal cortex by boosting the working memory. This suggests that estrogen may play a key role in certain frontal lobe functions in women.[16] Women using HRT after menopause have no additional weight gain compared to women who do not use HRT.[17] Also women who use HRT with an estrogen component show positive effects in their sex life (mainly increasing their sex drive and sexual sensitivity) but the effects are inconsistent across women. These sexual improvements may dissipate after receiving some forms of HRT for extended periods of time.[18]

What is the physical significance of the constant known as the permittivity of free space?
It is basically the scale factor between the unit of force and the unit of charge. There are actual electric and magnetic unit systems in which there is no such factor (since it would be 1). For most of our experiences we insist on measuring charge in coulombs and measuring forces (or electric fields) in Newtons (Newtons per coulomb). The coefficient that we need to make it come out right is related to the permittivity of free space. The words probably go back to the days when we thought there was an ether in space. You can also think about it as the way space effects the forces between two charges. In this way it become s a property of space.

The following letter was sent to MP John Weston and copied to Coast Reporter.
As a citizen in your constituency and a proud Canadian elector, I am appalled by the proposed changes to the Election Act.
It is obvious to me that this was poorly designed and considered. Even worse, there are aspects that have the appearance of favouring one particular party over others. This is totally against the democratic process.
Mr. Harper is attempting to show how concerned he is by the obviously undemocratic actions of Mr. Putin in Crimea, and yet here at home in our own country we are faced with this attempt at corrupting the basis of our own democratic system: a fair electoral system.
There are certainly improvements that can be made to make the electoral process better. This bill is going in the opposite direction.
I urge you to stand up for a truly fair electoral process and for your constituents by rejecting this bill.

I have made this recipe at least 20 times and every time it gets rave reviews. Making it tonight for someone who would rather eat this dish, than go out for a birthday dinner. Nice compliment. It is absolutely delicious. You can also reheat in the oven if you need to but would do only same day for best flavor/texture.

TV journalists who researched the controversial growth hormone (rBGH) used to stimulate milk production in cows, Akre and Wilson were ultimately fired due to pressure from Monsanto, who manufactures rBGH. In late 1996, journalists Jane Akre and Steve Wilson began investigating rBGH, the genetically modified growth hormone American dairies had been injecting into their cows. As investigative reporters for the Fox Television affiliate in Tampa, Florida, they discovered that while the hormone had been banned in Canada, Europe and most other countries, millions of Americans were unknowingly drinking milk from rBGH-treated cows. The duo documented how the hormone, which can harm cows, was approved by the government as a veterinary drug without adequately testing its effects on children and adults who drink rBGH milk. They also uncovered studies linking its effects to cancer in humans. Just before broadcast, the station cancelled the widely promoted reports after Monsanto, the hormone manufacturer, threatened Fox News with "dire consequences" if the stories aired. Under pressure from Fox lawyers, the husband-and-wife team rewrote the story more than 80 times. After threats of dismissal and offers of six-figure sums to drop their ethical objections and keep quiet, they were fired in December 1997. In 1998, Akre won a suit against Fox for violating Florida's Whistleblower Law, which makes it illegal to retaliate against a worker who threatens to reveal employer misconduct. However, they were forced to defend the $425,000 awarded to Akre through the appeals process. Meanwhile, with their assets drained, neither Akre nor Wilson was able to work full-time in television news. Instead they formed a production company to expose environmental and health news that is increasingly ignored by mainstream media. |

NSN reorg to slash work force, focus on partnerships, acquisitions
Faced with mounting competitive and financial pressures, Nokia Siemens Networks (NYSE:NOK, NYSE:SI) is launching a major overhaul, reorganizingĀits businessĀinto three divisions, focusing more attention on partnerships and acquisition, and contemplating cutting its work force by as much as 9%.
NSN isn't the only telecom equipment vendor to fair poorly during these lean economic times. Both Alcatel-Lucent (NYSE:ALU) and Ericsson (NASDAQ:ERIC) reported disappointing third-quarter results,ĀasĀsales in developed and developing markets slow. But NSN isn't just facing a down market; it's being battered by the competition. As Nokia CEO Olli-Pekka Kallasvuo acknowledged on Nokia's Q3 earnings call last month, "It is clear that NSN has lost market share."
NSN reorganization, which would go into effect at the beginning of the new year, would divide the vendor into three operational units: business solutions, network systems and global services. NSN said it would continue to look at more product and technology partnerships, such as its joint venture with Juniper Networks (NYSE:JNPR) for carrier Ethernet. It will also look for strategic acquisition opportunities that could augment its product portfolio or increase its customer base. NSNĀmade just such a strategic bid last summer when it offered to buy Nortel's CDMA and LTE businesses, only to have its offer trumped by Ericsson.
On the financial side, NSN plans to reduce its expenses and overhead by 500 million euros (U.S. $733 million) by the end of 2011. As part of that effort, NSN will conduct a head count review, which could result in 4480 to 5760 layoffs, or 7% to 9% of its work force of 64,000.
Presiding over the reorg will be new CEO Rajeev Suri, the former head of NSN's services group who took over from Simon Beresford-Wylie in October. In an interview with TelephonyOnline last month,ĀSuri stressed the importance of services, software and overall solutions in the telecom infrastructure order.
"You need to have a good and strong product business," Suri said in the interview. "You need to have a strong services business, and they need to coexist in a symbiotic relationship. I think what we need to bring to customers, to communications service providers, is really the best products and services package. That's what they're expecting. On the services business itself, clearly managed services is a growth driver. Consulting and systems integration is a growth driver. We've done two things: Services has grown as a percentage of company revenue, but even within services we have grown or changed the business from a product-attached service set to an independent professional services group. Professional services is now 60% of the services business. When we started it was around 40% of the business. It's got to be a symbiotic relationship. We can't be a services company only. We will not be a product company only."

BROOKFIELD — Two suspects were arrested last month, after a neighbor stopped a burglary in progress, police say.Around 5:30 a.m. on Thursday, April 18, Wakefield police received a call about a burglary in progress on Mead Dam Road in Brookfield. A neighbor who called 911 reported hearing a truck go past his home, stop at his neighbors' residence, and seeing two men walking around the home, shining flashlights and checking the doors, according to Wakefield police. The neighbor reported the two suspects were loading items from the home into the truck.Police say the neighbor went and confronted the two men, who became agitated and attempted to leave. The neighbor then blocked the driveway with his truck, and waited for police to arrive.Police from Wakefield and Wolfeboro, as well as State Police, Troop E, arrived to the scene of the reported burglary, and arrested the two men.Dustin D. Lafontaine, 20, of Lee, and Jared Fuller, 22, of Wakefield, were arrested and charged with burglary.The suspects' vehicle contained numerous scrap metal items allegedly taken from the home, police say.

The Atheist's Guide to Reality: Enjoying Life without Illusions
By: Alex Rosenberg (author)Paperback1 - 2 weeks availability
We can't avoid the persistent questions about the meaning of life and the nature of reality. Alex Rosenberg maintains that science is the only thing that can really answer all of these questions. His bracing and ultimately upbeat book takes physics seriously as the complete description of reality and accepts all its consequences. He shows how physics makes Darwinian natural selection the only way life can emerge, and how that deprives nature of purpose and human action of meaning, while it exposes conscious illusions such as free will and the self. The science that makes us non-believers provides the insight into the difference between right and wrong, the nature of the mind, even the direction of human history. The Atheist's Guide to Reality offers nice nihilism, a surprisingly sanguine perspective atheists can happily embrace.Create a review

SAC and RSPB team up to boost biodiversity at dairy farms
THE Scottish Agricultural College (SAC) and RSPB Scotland have teamed up to make a dairy enterprise an exemplar for wildlife-friendly dairy farming.
The partners will work together to develop methods of boosting wildlife including birds, butterflies and wildflowers, at SAC's Crichton Royal Dairy Research Farm in Dumfries.
The aim is to demonstrate measures that do not have an effect on a farm's bottom line, and to encourage other pastoral farms to adopt the measures shown to be successful at Crichton. Farmers will be able to pick up new ideas during regular 'knowledge exchange' events held at the farm.
SAC's Dr Dave Roberts, head of dairy research, said: "I am very pleased that we are building on our 10 years of very successful work with RSPB Scotland at Crichton.
"The focus of our renewed partnership will be on looking at how we can make relatively small changes to farm management practices which have a big effect on bird species and other wildlife."
Director of RSPB Scotland, Stuart Housden, added: "Scotland's farms are home to a wide variety of stunning wildlife, sadly some of these species such as kestrel, lapwing and yellowhammer, are in need of urgent help.
"By working closely with SAC we hope to develop simple low cost solutions that dairy farmers and other producers can then apply on their land, reversing the fortunes of declining birds, butterflies and other species in the wider countryside."
The farm is a LEAF (Linking Environment and Farming) Innovation Centre and the partners' work ties in with the LEAF aim of helping farmers work to high environmental standards.

Restaurante Tokyo
Their philosophy is low cost, and at lunchtime this particular outlet attracts the local young people. The dining room is small, red and decorated with paintings of Geishas and other Japanese-inspired images. Its not an empire of the senses, but the food here is certainly a pleasure and simple. You choose a table and serve yourself, as many times as you like.
The meal costs 9.90. Theres a huge variety of sushi - starting with makizushi (the classic rice cakes encasing nori seaweed), and delicious futomaki (filled with fruit and fish).
Theres an area with cooked food miso soup and pasta with vegetables; another with raw prawns, pork and beef. Take whichever piece you want, and ask for it to be grilled. And while it goes to be cooked, you can watch the sushi being prepared before it goes straight to the buffet.
Its wonderful to see that everything is fresh. Intriguingly, sushi which has been a tradition for more than 400 years was simply a way of conserving fish that used to be salted and kept for a number of days before being consumed.
At dinner, things change slightly: the price per person increases - 14.90, but the advantage is that you receive a menu with photographs of the 64 delicacies of Japanese gastronomy that are waiting for your choice.
As before, you can ask for whatever you want, as many times as you like but remember, as at lunchtimes, drinks are extra and have to be paid for separately.
Wed recommend that you leave some space for the Green Tea ice cream, and slake your thirst with an ice-cold Japanese beer. Enjoy a whole new experience in tastes!
