It scours the globe to bring the biggest, fastest and often weirdest Official World Record attempts, and record holders out there to CBBC.
Hosted by comedian Ben Shires it hurtles from record to record, from continent to continent to witness some of the biggest, smallest, tallest, fastest most officially amazing record attempts in the world.
Ben meets record breakers from the sublime to the ridiculous, the wacky to the downright incredible: from the woman with the world's longest nails to the largest snail. He takes part in record attempts like the Fastest chip wrapping, the longest basketball slam dunk, the most women crammed into a Mini, and the most dogs surfing a wave at the same time. Each programme also features one of two regular serial record breakers: Sizzlin' Steve and the Space Cowboy. The Space Cowboy specialises in using his considerable skills to attempt dangerous records such as juggling chainsaws or using a whip to break roses held in Ben's mouth. Sizzlin' Steve, in contrast, only attempts records he can try with no fear of injury, such as coin stacking or building pyramids with plastic cups – the perfect records to try at home.
Ben is joined in the US by comedian Al Jackson. He travels the States meeting people such as the 12 year old who holds the record for the first skateboard 1080 ( that's 3 complete rotations in mid-air), the woman with the World's longest tongue, and a skateboarding goat!
Haruka Kuroda guides us on a tour of some astonishing people, sights and records in her native Japan. Where else would you find the Official World Record for the most noodle strings made in one minute, a particularly Japanese art, or a guy called Cherry who attempts the record for the most walnuts cracked with his bottom – yes it's true, buns of steel.
Adding to the fun are our two 2 animated characters, Officially and Amazing. They introduce each item with Amazing usually ending up in some sort of trouble. And each programme brings more record breaking stories to the screen in the form of a comedy song written by Rob Castell.
It's all packed with action, fun and surprises and is… Officially Amazing.
Lion Television (makers of Horrible Histories) produce the series for CBBC in association with Zodiak Rights and all the records are recorded and verified by Guinness World Records. http://www.officiallyamazing.tv/

Following the huge success of the Victorian Farm series, BBC Two is presenting the same intrepid team with a brand new set of challenges as they are forced to get to grips with the trials and tribulations of life on an Edwardian Farm. Archaeologists Alex Langlands and Peter Ginn and domestic historian Ruth Goodman will return to front Edwardian Farm, spending a full year delving into Britain's rural heritage. They will make their home in a stunning new location, exploring the challenges posed by the British countryside at a time of great change and tumult; a time when farming was becoming increasingly mechanised at home, and abroad the world was moving gradually towards war. As in the first series, the action will be based primarily on the farm, but the new setting will also allow the team to explore wider aspects of the working countryside, including rivers and coasts, boat-building, mining, fishing and market gardening.

Substrates that can develop a surface charge, such as protective clothing system, sensors, and electrodes
Fabricating polymeric nanofibers having high photocatalytic activity without degradation of polymeric substrates
This invention is used to prepare photoreactive TiO2 nanoparticle coatings through layer-by-layer (LBL) assembly with polyhedral oligomeric silsesquioxane (POSS) molecules on polymer electrospun fibers. In order to increase the efficiency of the TiO2 photocatalysis, fibers with a high surface to volume ratio are electrospun from various polymer solutions and subsequently coated with TiO2 nanoparticles using LBL assembly. Using the electrospinning technique, many different polymers can be formed to create the high specific area substrate, and the flexibility of the polymer fiber is retained after TiO2 LBL nanoparticle coating.

"That's the first moment I thought, Oh, shit. I'm in the drug trade," Fischer says.
It's also the moment he began planning his exit strategy. The problem was, Bosch quickly abandoned his weekly payment plan. Pressed about the matter, Bosch claimed the clinic's income had fallen recently by $30,000 per month "because of Cabrera." (Bosch did eventually make two $600 payments to Fischer.)
Fischer went home and researched the name. Then-Giants outfielder Melky Cabrera had been suspended 50 games beginning in August for failing a drug test. It was then that Fischer learned of Bosch's alleged links to slugger Manny Ramirez's case.
"That's when I started documenting shit," Fischer says. "I [thought], Look, if this motherfucker doesn't pay me, there's going to be collateral damage."
Fischer began discreetly taking Biogenesis records home. (He claims the clinic's manager, Ricky Martinez, had actually requested that he store them somewhere.) Bosch wasn't around much, perhaps because he was distracted by money woes — including thousands in unpaid child support to two ex-wives.
One day, Fischer grabbed four composition notebooks from Bosch's desk. The Biogenesis owner's name was written on the front, and they were packed with hand-scrawled notes about clients, drug formulas, and payments.
Finally, he confronted Bosch, who had returned from a trip to Detroit. (According to Fischer, the trip took place during last year's Yankees-Tigers playoff series, when A-Rod was benched for his ineffectual hitting. Bosch had been called to the slugger's side, Fischer claims, to help him right his swing.)
"I said, 'Hey, how was the trip? Where's my money?' " Fischer recalls. "Bosch looked me straight in the face and said, 'I don't have it. You're not going to get it. I'm Tony Bosch. What the hell are you going to do about it?' "
Fischer suddenly was a small boy again, being pushed around for no good reason. "That's when the switch went off," he says.
The way Fischer tells it, the frantic phone call came January 26, the Saturday before New Times' story about Biogenesis was scheduled to land. Fischer had told only a few people he'd been speaking to a reporter, including a friend whom Fischer requested New Times not identify. Rumors were running wild. After New Times had called every player named in the records for comment that Friday, someone leaked details of the coming bombshell to the New York Daily News and the South Florida Sun-Sentinel.
The friend sounded panicked.
Here's how Fischer remembers the call: "Porter!" he hollered. "I need to come over to your place now!"
Fischer was rattled. He checked his .32 Beretta and armed the alarm on his front door. Then he gave his friend his home address. That would be the first of several mistakes he made in the manic months that followed New Times' story on Biogenesis. Fischer would soon find himself burned by his friends, by Major League Baseball, and finally by state investigators.
The first betrayal came from that friend, who showed up around midnight, panting nervously with a simple message: "[One of Bosch's associates] will kill both of us..." he claimed, unless the story was softened.
Fischer began to panic. "What can I do?" he asked. "I just want this to blow over now."
"Let me see the notebooks," the friend allegedly said.
Fischer thought for a minute. Then he went to the closet, grabbed the four handwritten notebooks in which Tony Bosch had kept daily records of his patients, and handed them over. His friend quickly announced he could get them back to Bosch, Fischer says, no questions asked.
As far as Fischer was concerned, that was fine — he had copies of everything and knew New Times' story would come out soon. "The whole situation was crazy, and I was panicking," Fischer says. "I figured, I already did the damage. What did I need the originals for anymore?"
On Sunday, two days before the story went online, Fischer visited his friend at his business. The friend handed over an envelope with $4,000 in hundreds, Fischer says. "See, I got you your money back from Tony," he said, smiling.
"So you gave him the notebooks back, huh?" Fischer said.
"Oh, no, I told him they were destroyed," the friend said.
Fischer's stomach dropped. "So what did you actually do with them?"
"I gave 'em to A-Rod's people," his friend said, chuckling.
On April 12, the New York Times reported that MLB officials believed Rodriguez had "arranged an intermediary" to buy documents from the clinic. An A-Rod spokesman denied that report.
On Tuesday, New Times' story went viral, and Fischer says the friend who'd taken the notebooks called him in a panic. "This is the worst it could possibly be!" he yelled. "[New Times] has everything! I'm leaving town — now."
Fischer also packed a bag and went to a relative's house near Orlando. The story soon landed on the front page of the New York Times and led every newscast from ESPN to CNN. Fischer's records had threatened the careers of some of the biggest, wealthiest names in the sport.
"I started to feel my safety was in serious jeopardy," Fischer says. "If you've been playing ball for 15 years and suddenly you don't get in the Hall of Fame, you might just want to blame that on whoever was responsible. Or maybe Jose, his third cousin removed who lives in Hialeah and doesn't get a check in the mail anymore, is a little bent out of shape about the whole thing."

I am planning on getting my first tattoo at the end of the month. I have been wanting to get a tattoo for a long time but I have always been worried about the pain. I am thinking now that I need to just suck it up and dive right in.
But after I read this article I began to wonder if it would be possible to use a topical anesthetic to ease the pain of the tattoo? I have never heard of anyone doing this and maybe there is a good reason that they don't. But if there is any way that I could get my ink and not have to live through the pain of those needles I would take it.

Moving Pictures: Capote
There's no question that some of the most amazing photographs ever taken are for movies. A well shot, well composed film is not only aesthetically pleasing but also evocative and moving, especially when combined with a great story.
The 2006 film CAPOTE was a well-acted, well scripted piece coupled with some great cinematography by Adam Kimmel. These dark and foreboding images of the 1950's Kansas countryside (it's actually Winnipeg, Canada) are nicely shot and remind me of melancholic renderings by Winslow Homer and Edward Hopper. These shots as well as the muted colors did well to heighten the tragic underpinnings of the film.
On a related note, Pixar story artist and film guru Ted Mathot has posted screen shots from the movie THE HORSE WHISPERER (by cinematographer Robert Richardson) on his Rose & Isabel blog. For a while now he's been breaking down films and sharing his insight on staging, composition and photography and it's worth checking out his archives.
Like my other feature called PROFILES, i'll be using MOVING PICTURES to post more great film photography in the future.

The Reverse Innovation Revolution
November 21, 2012
Greg – so true. Developing countries don't just hack, they leapfrog advances. Like your "cheque" friend they're not encumbered or wedded to any particular tech or solution. They don't have to "forget" their reliance on ATM's by jumping straight to mobile-enabled micro-payments. As is often the case, legacy systems/processes/infrastructure hobbled rate of adoption – and high levels of customer apathy. Those hungry (often literally) for change are always the one's pushing. Love the fact that my continent (Africa) may actually be leading the way in next generation mobile utilization in innovative ways. More power to them.

Hilton Barbour Reply:
November 21st, 2012 at 11:09 amIronically solar, wind and water would seem more obvious solutions. Just glad that Tech is allowing the continent's teeming masses to get ahead – despite the very obvious governmental issues many african countries face.

November 21st, 2012 at 11:50 amI think the advantage of "backyard nukes" is that they are self contained, so don't require maintenance and also don't require the clearing of much land, which is a plus in remote areas.
Anyway, we'll see…

This reminds me a little of how Western Pharma companies are looking ever harder at things "off the beaten track" – remedies and cures used in primitive cultures and the chemicals found in jungle plants. Ironically – a the same time we have deforestation removing this "Jungle Wealth" – possibly a parallel of this could be the way we risk losing the unique perspectives of the "rising billion" as they become part of global culture.

That's a very interesting point. There are some similarities, but I do think that reverse innovation is fundamentally different. Companies are finding that the additional constraints in poorer countries and lack of legacy technologies useful in creating new innovations, where the pharmaceutical research was more focused on rediscovering old knowledge.

El Gringo will be playing in theaters for one week, May 11–May 17! For a list of participating theaters, please visit http://www.afterdarkaction.com/theaters
Here is a full synopsis from After Dark Action:
The Man crosses into Mexico with a satchel of $2,000,000, cash, a bloody past, and a plan to live out his remaining days on a beach. Instead, he gets stuck waiting for a bus in El Fronteras, a sleepy desert town that's so uninviting that – forget about the ocean – he can hardly find a glass of water. Then, word of his money spreads to the El Fronteras underworld. Under sudden attack from corrupt cops, gangsters, and desperados, the Man must push back his retirement plans, lock and load, and save sleepy El Fronteras through a dizzying display of spectacular gunfights.
Will you be seeing El Gringo in theaters or on demand? Leave a comment and let us know where.

Treating A Non-Pruritic Rash That Occurred After Antibiotic Use
For his dermatologic condition, the differential diagnosis of tender erythematous nodules/plaques includes cellulitis/erysipelas, insect bites, erythema nodosum, nodular vasculitis, superficial thrombophlebitis, Sweet's syndrome and acute urticaria.
Erysipelas is a skin infection that causes cellulitis. The infection involves the superficial layers of the skin. Clinically, the plaque is well demarcated with intense erythema. The affected area is usually indurated. Erysipelas is commonly the result of group A Streptococcus bacteria. Risk factors include skin breakdown (cuts, blisters, ulcers, erosions, etc.). Venous insufficiency or lymphedema may cause leg swelling and eventual skin breakdown causing cellulitis. Blistering is common with venous stasis cellulitis. Fever, chills and malaise may also occur.
Insect bites and stings can cause a well-demarcated erythematous plaque. Ascertaining the clinical history is paramount to distinguish this from other causes. Insect bites rarely lead to cellulitis. Pruritus is typically associated with insect bites.
Erythema nodosum is a panniculitis (inflammatory condition affecting the subcutaneous tissues). The lesion associated with erythema nodosum is a tender, erythematous patch, nodule or plaque that is usually on the pre-tibial region of the shins. Initially, the skin lesions appear red. As they age, the lesions may become bruised looking in appearance with a violaceous, brown or even yellowish/green color.
Associated clinical symptoms may include fever, chills, malaise and joint pains. Causation may be idiopathic. However, the majority of the cases are caused by infections, drug reactions or autoimmune disorders. The common infectious causes include tuberculosis, Valley fever (coccidioidomycosis), Streptococcus, hepatitis C, Epstein-Barr virus and Yersinia. Drug-induced erythema nodosum may be caused by oral contraceptives, sulfonamides, vaccinations and NSAIDs (including salicylates), tetracyclines, barbiturates, and it may occur after oral steroid use tapers off.
Autoimmune disorders associated with erythema nodosum include inflammatory bowel disease such as ulcerative colitis and Behçet's disease. There is a known link between erythema nodosum and granulomatous pulmonary diseases such as tuberculosis, sarcoidosis and coccidioidomycosis.
Nodular vasculitis is typically sequelae of tuberculosis. The lesions appear as groupings of small tender erythematous nodules on the legs including the calves and shins.
Superficial thrombophlebitis is an inflammatory condition of the superficial veins, which may have small blood clots. Typically, the skin becomes warm, tender and swollen at the level of the vein. A palpable indurated cord is present along the course of the blood vessel.
Sweet's syndrome is an acute febrile neutrophilic dermatosis. The skin eruption is a well-demarcated erythematous papule or plaque usually affecting the hands and fingers. Lesions can arise on the arms, legs, neck and head. Lesions may have blisters, pustules and ulcerations. There may be a central clearing appearance (targeted lesion). There may be associated high fever, chills, joint pain, mouth ulcers and conjunctivitis.
Sweet's syndrome is usually caused by an underlying systemic condition and may be drug-induced via granulocyte colony-stimulating factor agents such as filgrastim, NSAIDs, oral contraceptives, retinoic acid, sulfa drugs, diazepam and others. The syndrome may also be caused by malignancy, infections, inflammatory bowel disease and pregnancy.

California governor Arnold Schwarzenegger's term ends in January 2011. As the national and local press fixates on who will replace him, we asked three reporters charged with covering the governor for the last seven years to reflect on his time in the State House. Here, Sacramento Bee columnist Dan Walters, NPR-affiliate KQED's Sacramento bureau chief John Myers, and TV reporter Nannette Miranda (bureau chief for ABC affiliates in L.A., Fresno, and San Francisco) share their thoughts on Schwarzenegger's legacy and his relationship with the press. CJR assistant editor Joel Meares spoke to each separately. Their edited answers are below.
What's the most memorable moment from covering Schwarzenegger?
Myers: My most memorable was a sit-down in 2007 on one of those days where we had scheduled multiple capitol reporters. I was the last one, and while the audio equipment was being set up, I said something to the effect of, "I know you've talked about these things a lot today, and you're probably tired of talking about them, so I will try to get right to it." He looked at me and he said, "No, no, when I used to do junkets for movies, I'd have to sit and talk about the same thing five hundred times in a row. So I have no problem with doing that." I thought that was a telling anecdote because much of what the Schwarzenegger era has been about is salesmanship. Modern politics is about messaging, it's about spin, and it's about selling. Those are things Arnold Schwarzenegger perfectly learned in his time in the movies.
Walters: My second private conversation occurred in May 2005, after I had written several columns that were highly skeptical of his chances of persuading voters to approve a series of what he characterized as key governmental reforms. "You must be confused," Schwarzenegger, sitting in his throne-like chair in his "smoking tent" outside the governor's office, said as I walked in. "I don't think so," I replied. He proceeded to tell me how he would win the election, scheduled for the following November. I proceeded to tell him why I thought he had blown it. We parted company without convincing the other. He was clobbered in November.
Miranda: Governor Schwarzenegger took a lot of Hollywood with him to Sacramento. I remember the time he was trying to get the message out that Sacramento was spending more money than it takes in. He called a press conference at the State Fairgrounds, not far from the Capitol. A "mini State Capitol" replica set up with a big spigot. After his speech, he walked over to the spigot and feigned how difficult it was to turn, like he was using his bodybuilding muscles. Then red ink came spewing out. Get it? I did do a story about his hokey stunts afterwards. According to one of his campaign aides, the governor dreamed all this up himself.
Is there a profile of Schwarzenegger you've seen that you think really gets it right?
Myers: Former Los Angeles Times reporter Joe Mathews's book, The People's Machine: Arnold Schwarzenegger and the Rise of Blockbuster Democracy, from 2006. I think that there's a lot of rich detail in that about who Schwarzenegger is, why he did what he did, and the way he operates that I think is still true today.
Walters: A couple of books were written about his governorship, one by former Bee columnist Dan Weintraub, the other by Joe Mathews, but both, as I have written and/or told the authors, missed the boat. Schwarzenegger changes political personalities every year (much like assuming a new movie role) and by the time a book comes out, it's outdated. The real story of his governorship must await the fullness of time because he has sowed seeds that will, or won't, bear fruit in the years ahead.
Is the governor open to the press?
Miranda: In the beginning, governor Schwarzenegger was not accessible at all. I believe his team of strategists was afraid of foot-in mouth syndrome, where he'd say things that he wasn't supposed to. As time went on, he was more comfortable and accessible at his own events. But only to a certain point. We reporters had to resort to shouting out questions and hoping he came to the rope that marks the point we couldn't go beyond.
Walters: He's fairly accessible because he makes many public appearances and news conferences and is not afraid to mix it up with reporters. His team is well disciplined and quickly respond to inquiries about policy on whatever the issue may be.

We bring out the fact that the essential new quality implied by the quantum theory is nonlocality; i.e., that a system cannot be analyzed into parts whose basic properties do not depend on the state of the whole system.
This is done in terms of the causal interpretation of the quantum theory, proposed by one of us (D.B.) in 2952, involving the introduction of the "quantum potential." We show that this approach implies a new universal type of description, in which the standard or canonical form is always supersystem-system-subsystem; and this leads to the radically new notion of unbroken wholeness of the entire universe.
Finally, we discuss some of the implications of extending these notions to the relativity domain, and in so doing, we indicate a novel concept of time, in terms of which relativity and quantum theory may eventually be brought together.

I used to abhor sweet potatoes. In fact, as a child, I spent a lot of time dreading Thanksgiving dinners because I knew my mother was going to make me eat them. I even hated pumpkin pie because–in my opinion–it tasted like sweet potatoes. All of this changed a year ago.
David brought over some small sweet potatoes from the farmers' market and convinced me to try them again. He made them with this wonderful honey mustard walnut sauce. I actually had seconds! Anyone who knew me as a child would not have believed it. Now, I really like them, but it took 38 years and a chef to convince me. (I'm stubborn that way.)
I recently did some reading about these autumn veggies and found out some interesting nutrition facts. The orange variety is loaded with beta-carotene, which converts to vitamin A. Vitamin A is known to activate the DNA controls the production of new skin cells. This stimulates turnover and the shedding of old skin cells.
Sweet potatoes are also high in vitamin C, which slows the damage rate of free-radicals, those pesky erratic molecules that break down collagen and cause dryness, fine lines, and wrinkles. This potent antioxidant helps keep your skin smooth.
Plus, when you eat sweet potatoes with the skin on, they have as much fiber as a half a cup of oatmeal. Great for the digestive system.
One easy way to cook sweet potatoes is to cut them in 1" cubes, leaving the skin on. Toss the pieces with EVOO and roast in a shallow baking pan for 30-40 minutes at 450°. Sprinkle on some sea salt and serve.

Despite grave allegations of human rights abuses during Ferdinand Marcos' reign, his family remains pillar of local politics.
MANILA, Philippines — It's been 26 years since Dictator Ferdinand Marcos was overthrown, but in many ways his family never left town.
Drive down the street in the former president's home province of Ilocos Norte, about 250 miles north of Manila, and colorful campaign posters broadcast the Marcos name.
Despite the allegations of corruption and extreme human rights abuses during the 20 years of Marcos' reign, his family has had an unquestioned hold over local politics in Ilocos since they returned from exile in 1991. Veteran local politicians have frequently stepped aside to ensure victory for a Marcos on the ballot.
Marcos political support stems from a fierce loyalty people have in this remote region for the late dictator, and now, with elections May 10, the Marcoses could move even further center stage. Former first lady Imelda and daughter Imee are running for the local positions in congress and as governor. Marcos' only son, Ferdinand Jr., currently a congressman, is campaigning for a nationally elected senate seat.
Known for her 3,000 pairs of shoes and her lavish, jet-setting lifestyle, Imelda became a symbol of extravagance during her husband's reign. According to the former first lady, all the years in the public eye have taught her a lesson that will help her serve.
"Democracy is not a leveling ideology. God does not make us all the same. Democracy is maximizing the potential of every human being to his wholeness, fulfillment, dignity," she said in a recent interview at her apartment in Makati, dressed in an aqua and black caftan with the same coiffed hairdo as always.

Known for her 3,000 pairs of shoes, Imelda became a symbol of extravagance during her husband's reign. (Sunshine de Leon/GlobalPost)
These are sweeping words, but it was a pointed political play that ultimately drew Imelda back into the political fray. At 80 years old, Imelda says the thought of a comeback was far from her mind, but a slight to her family name forced her to take a stand. The Marcos family had promised Senator Manny Villar — a presidential candidate of the same party as Ferdinand Jr. — voter support in Ilocos. When the current Ilocos governor was said to have questioned that support, Imelda took it as a personal affront.
"It's not fair for those you promise to be supported and then suddenly your flock is not there with you," she said, adding that she ran in order to "ensure that political integrity and truth will prevail."
People in other areas of the Philippines may remember the dark shadows of the Marcos years, but "Ilocanos," or those who share the same language of this northernmost part of the country, still speak of him as a hero.
Ilocos businessman and Marcos loyalist Toby Bassi said he believes in Marcos' integrity. "No amount of vilification could negate the fact that he did a lot for the poor. So the masses are just returning the favor," he said. "Ilocanos are very clannish. Once you have gained their respect, they go through all the pains to really protect you and be supportive."
Congressman Mariano Nelupta Jr., a former Marcos ally who is now running against Imelda, said Ilocanos were only exposed to the good side of the Marcos regime. "People may not be aware of what happened in Manila. … Here in Ilocos Norte nothing happened," he said. "Most of my life I was a fanatic to the Marcoses. I didn't believe the rumors — only recently have I seen proof and started to believe."
Political scientist Alex Magno, of the University of the Philippines, explains the Marcos family's hold on the region. "It's out of love," he said. "When [Marcos] was president he was a generous patron for the Ilocos region. The region had full employment. Their infrastructure is among the best in the country. So the Marcos myth persists there."
Some voters rationalize their support by saying that things aren't comparatively better today. "Compared to the current administration, he was really not that bad. And he did a lot of wonderful things. ... People remember this and it balances out," said Ilocos business owner Sammy Blass.
Manila-based Dodie Santos took part in the Edsa People Power movement that forced Marcos out of power, but said a lack of economic progress since that time has softened his views. "During Marcos, our economy was so good but unfortunately look at us today. Even Vietnam is overtaking us," he said.
Paulynn Paredes Sican, a journalist, said nostalgia for the stability of the Marcos era is misguided. "These people just look at the bigger picture — that martial law seemed a quieter more stable time. They don't bother to know about the methods he used to get what he wanted."

Ok, so I had my bitch session and now I'm done.
I put a rainbow button on my backpack today. I had to force myself to do it. I was tired, I have mono, I wanted to cry. But I didn't. I wore it and I'm happy.
I feel so inspired now and there's so much that I want to say, but it's 2 am, and, like I said, I have mono. Damn mono.
I will write more later. I'll make myself.

Aging affects various structural and metabolic properties of the brain. However, associations among various aspects of brain aging are unclear. Moreover, those properties and associations among them may be modified by age-associated increase in vascular risk. In this study, we measured volume of brain regions that vary in their vulnerability to aging and estimated local iron content via T2* relaxometry. In 113 healthy adults (19-83 years old), we examined prefrontal cortex (PFC), primary visual cortex (VC), hippocampus (HC), entorhinal cortex (EC), caudate nucleus (Cd), and putamen (Pt). In some regions (PFC, VC, Cd, and Pt) age-related differences in iron and volume followed similar patterns. However, in the medial-temporal structures, volume and iron content exhibited different age trajectories. Whereas age-related volume reduction was mild in HC and absent in EC, iron content evidenced significant age-related declines. In hypertensive participants significantly greater iron content was noted in all examined regions. Thus, iron content as measured by T2* may be a sensitive index of regional brain aging and may reveal declines that are more prominent than gross anatomical shrinkage.

- 4 large eggs, separated
- 1 cup(s) sugar
- 1 can(s) (7 to 8 ounces) almond paste
- 1.25 cup(s) (2 1/2 sticks) margarine or butter, softened
- 1 teaspoon(s) almond extract
- 2 cup(s) all-purpose flour
- 1/4 teaspoon(s) salt
- 20 drop(s) red food coloring
- 20 drop(s) green food coloring
- 1 jar(s) (12 ounces) apricot preserves, strained
- 4 1-ounce squares semi-sweet chocolate, melted
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Grease three 15 1/2- by 10 1/2-inch jelly-roll pans;* line pans with waxed paper, allowing waxed paper to extend over ends of pans. Grease and flour waxed paper.
- In small bowl, with mixer at high speed, beat egg whites with 1/2 cup sugar until stiff peaks form; set aside.
- In large bowl, with same beaters, and with mixer at medium speed, beat almond paste and remaining 1/2 cup sugar until well blended (there will be some small lumps of almond paste remaining). Reduce speed to medium-low; beat in margarine or butter until blended. Beat in egg yolks and almond extract until blended. Reduce speed to low; beat in flour and salt just until combined.
- With rubber spatula, fold egg-white mixture into almond mixture, one-third at a time, until combined.
- Remove one-third of batter (about 1 1/2 rounded cups) from large bowl to small bowl. Remove half of remaining batter from large bowl to another small bowl. (You should have equal amounts of batter in each bowl.) Stir red food coloring into 1 bowl of batter until evenly blended. Repeat with green food coloring and another bowl of batter.
- Spread white (uncolored) batter in 1 jelly-roll pan. With metal spatula (offset, if possible), spread batter as evenly as possible (layer will be about 1/8 inch thick). Repeat with red batter and another pan. Repeat with green batter and remaining pan.
- Bake layers 10 to 13 minutes, rotating pans halfway through cooking time, until layers are just set. It is important to undercook this batter slightly to ensure moist cookie layers. (If you don't have enough oven space for 3 pans, you can bake 2 layers at once, then bake the last layer separately.)
- Let layers cool slightly in pans on wire racks, about 5 minutes. Invert layers onto racks, leaving waxed paper attached; cool completely.
- When all 3 layers are cooled, remove waxed paper from green layer. Place green layer on serving tray or platter; spread with half of apricot preserves. Place white layer on top of green layer, waxed-paper side up; remove waxed paper. Spread with remaining apricot preserves. Place red layer on top of white layer; remove waxed paper.
- With serrated knife, trim edges (about 1/4 inch from each side). Spread melted chocolate on top of red layer (not on sides); refrigerate until chocolate is firm, at least 1 hour. If you like, after chocolate has set, cover and refrigerate stacked layers up to 3 days before cutting and serving.
- To serve, cut stacked layers lengthwise into 4 strips. Cut each strip crosswise into 12 small rectangles. Store cookies in tightly covered container, with waxed paper between layers, in refrigerator.
Tips & Techniques
*If you have only 1 jelly-roll pan, you can still make this recipe. Just bake layers 1 at a time, and be sure to let pan cool completely before reusing.

As the title say. Does putting taxes lower effectively work for cities? I usually help them start out, when I build new holdings (and I almost exclusively build new cities except baronies sometimes) by purchasing level 1 wall and taxe generation. Now my question is this : is it better to put the taxes lower for cities when you wish them to develop (mostly, then, the early game (first 100 years))?
Something else I wonder, is the money transfered from lord mayor to lord mayor or does his amassed fun disappears? This would put even more emphasis on permitting each lord mayor of obtaining the highest amount of money possible as fast as they can if they want to upgrade their holding (and would also explain why we never ever see vassalized lord mayors build universities).
