"The ncix employee was very helpful with changing my order issuing a refund and all before the item was shipped out! Very satisfied!!"
"great service and wide selection of hardware.
have always been happy with my purchases here.
returns are done quickly and gracefully.
although some of their pricing is higher than competitors, they will match the price but not beat them."
"I ordered a ducky shine 3 (excellent keyboard by the way) from ncix not too long ago. After opening it and having some fun with it, I realized that it did not have the alternate space key (without the snake) that I saw on various unboxing videos. I contacted ncix and I was put in touch with Erick Chmara who informed me that he spoke with someone at Ducky and he was told that they stopped including the alternate space key with later batches of ducky shine 3's. I was slightly disappointed, even though the snake is really cool, I could have used something more subtle from time to time. So, here comes the best part, Erick managed to get me a replacement space key and has offered to ship it directly to me, even though the manufacturer has stopped including these in the boxes. I was amazed by this and very thankful that ncix would even bother sending me something that was not even included in my purchase. All in all it was a very very good experience. Erick went above and beyond to make sure I was as happy as possible with my purchase. I would definitely recommend buying from them. Also, if you want a ducky keyboard, this is the place to get! Thanks Erick, Can't wait for my next purchase."
"Very, very impressed with their speed of delivery and customer service people (over email) (re: Erick Chmara - good guy!) Their website/navigation could use some work though, maybe hire a larger web design team? Also, perhaps add a way for people to know where their ticket is in the technical support queue. But this doesn't affect my opinion of them. Would definitely use them again."
"Great store, the website could use some work to look better but the store is friendly and top notch"
"The customer service representative, Jonathan Hart, was amazing! I ordered a set of gaming headphones and my computer did not have the correct inputs. He solved my problem with an adapter and waited patiently while I found the product on the website. He did not argue or really even mention that the headphones were not returnable - he just solved the problem. Then, he watched for my order and added it to the quick ship queue so that I did not have to wait even longer! GREAT customer service. "
"I just found out about NCIX a few months ago (I moved to BC last year) and it's been a blessing, They have all the products I'm looking for, in a good price (If not, they do price matching!) and shopping with them feels great. Their Customer Service is also great, it is really nice and refreshing to get good, personalized and useful Customer Service from a big electronics shop. They treat you like a human being and not like a order number. The people talking to you are qualified to take action and do something about the problem.
I'll definitely come back to NCIX for all my PC/electronics needs.
A great experience overall, highly recommended and I will return without a doubt."
"Thanks a lot to Jonathon from customer service at NCIX for sorting out how to get the exact product I ordered even though it was out of stock. I really appreciate both the prices and the fact that NCIX will go the extra mile to ensure I was completely satisfied. "
"excellent customer service.
The customer service representative was really great and efficient in helping get my old invoice from 2012!"
"I was very pleased with the service I got! The replies were fast and the person who helped me (Erick C.) Was very friendly and knew was he was talking about. Great customer service, one of the best if not the best I had to deal with so far! 5/5. Website looks clean and the prices are pretty damn good too! (Plus they sell a bunch of stuff other online store don't!)"
"A Colleague recommended NCIX to me when we purchased a new computer and needed to do the data transfer. I first spoke to Ivan who was very helpful with my questions and set up a time for a tech to come to my home to assist with this process. Erick Charma arrived right on time and when he did find some issues he took the tower back to the office to make the necessary changes needed. He came back right the next day and spent several hours finishing the transfer, adding new software for us and answering all the questions we had along the way too. The technical service was excellent and Erick's customer service was truly above and beyond. I plan on using NCIX for any future tech needs and would not hesitate recommending them to any of our friends and acquaintances. Thank you Erick and NCIX for a job well done !!"
"I am EXTREMELY satisfied with both order I made with NCIX. Had a problem with the first order which I actually never received, but Allan, a Technical Support Specialist in Richmond, gave me an awesome service by taking care of everything so I finally received my order after a reasonable delay of a couple of weeks. Will definitely do business again with NCIX!"
"Backorder took a bit long, but service was friendly and I got what I wanted exactly. Would go again."
"There was a minor issue with a game code that I didn't receive with a graphics card purchase, but they quickly addressed it in a more than satisfying way. Jonathan Hart at NCIX helped me out this last time, and all my prior experiences with their retail stores and online business have been great."

A Boy and His Dog is a 1975 independently made American science fiction film produced, written (with Alvy Moore), and directed by L. Q. Jones, starring Don Johnson, Susanne Benton, Alvy Moore, and Jason Robards. The film was distributed in the U.S. by LQ/JAF Productions and in in the UK by Anglo-EMI Film Distributors. The film's script is based on the 1969 cycle of narratives by fantasy author Harlan Ellison titled "A Boy and His Dog."
A Boy and His Dog concerns a teenage boy (Vic) and his telepathic dog (Blood), who work together as a team in order to survive in the dangerous post-apocalyptic wasteland of the Southwestern United States.
The main character, Vic (Don Johnson), is an 18-year-old boy, born in and scavenging throughout the wasteland of the former southwestern United States. Vic is most concerned with food and sex; having lost both of his parents, he has no formal education and does not understand ethics or morality. He is accompanied by a well-read, misanthropic, telepathic dog named Blood, who helps him locate women, in return for food. Blood can not forage for himself, due to the same genetic engineering that granted him telepathy. The two steal for a living, evading bands of marauders, berserk androids, and mutants. Blood and Vic have an occasionally antagonistic relationship, though they realize they need each other. Blood wishes to find a legendary promised land, though Vic believes that they must make the best of what they have.
Searching a bunker for a woman for Vic to rape, they find one, but she has already been severely mutilated and is on the verge of death. Vic displays no pity, and is merely angered by the "wastefulness" of such an act as well as disgusted by the thought of satisfying his urges with a woman in such a condition. They move on, only to find slavers excavating another bunker. Vic steals several cans of their food, later using them to barter for goods in a nearby settlement. Blood claims to smell a woman, and the pair track her to a large underground warehouse. There, they meet Quilla June Holmes (Susanne Benton), the scheming and seductive teenage girl from "Downunder," a society located in a large underground vault. Unknown to the pair, Quilla June's father, Lou Craddock (Jason Robards), had sent her above ground to "recruit" surface dwellers. Blood takes an instant dislike to her, but Vic ignores him. After Vic saves Quilla June from raiders and mutants, they have repeated sex. Eventually, though, she takes off secretly to return to her underground society. Vic, enticed by the thought of women and sex, follows her, despite Blood's warnings. Blood remains at the portal on the surface.
Downunder has an artificial biosphere, complete with forests and underground cities, one of which, named Topeka, after the ruins of the city it lies beneath. Vic is told that he has been brought to Topeka to help fertilize the female population and is elated to learn of his value as a "stud." Then he is told that Topeka meets its need for exogamous reproduction by electroejaculation and artificial insemination. Anybody who refuses to comply or otherwise defies the committee is sent off to "the farm" and never seen again. Vic is then told that when his sperm has been used to impregnate 35 women, he will be sent to "the farm."
Quilla June helps Vic escape, as she wants him to kill the committee members and their android enforcer, Michael (Hal Baylor), so she can usurp power. Vic has no interest in politics or remaining underground. The rebellion is quashed by Michael, who crushes the heads of Quilla June's co-conspirators, before Vic can disable him. She proclaims her love for Vic and decides to escape to the surface with him. On the surface, Vic and Quilla June discover Blood is starving and near death. She nags him to abandon Blood, forcing Vic to face his feelings. Down deep he knows that a boy loves his dog and that he will never be able to survive without Blood's guidance. Sometime later Vic and Blood are walking into the desert and Blood jokingly says to Vic "Well I'd say she certainly had marvelous judgement, Albert, if not particularly good taste."

Harlan Ellison, the author of the original novella A Boy and His Dog, started the screenplay but encountered writer's block, so producer Alvy Moore and director L. Q. Jones wrote the script, with Wayne Cruseturner, who was uncredited. Jones' own company, LQ/Jaf Productions (L. Q. Jones & Friends), produced the film. They filmed the movie near Coyote Dry Lake in the Mojave Desert. The Firesign Theater was also involved with the writing of the script.
In the film Blood is portrayed by Tiger. James Cagney's voice was considered as the voice of Blood, but was dropped because it would have been too recognizable and prove to be a distraction. Eventually, after going through approximately six hundred auditions, they settled on Tim McIntire, a veteran voice actor who also did most of the music for the film. McIntire was assisted with this by Ray Manzarek (misspelled in the film credits as Manzarec), formerly of The Doors. McIntire sang the main theme. Latin American composer Jaime Mendoza-Nava provided the music for the Topeka underground segment.
Rumors have abounded over the years regarding a movie sequel, but it has never materialized. On the film's DVD audio commentary, L. Q. Jones states that he had started to write a script sequel to the film that would have picked up right where the first film ended and featured a female warrior named Spike, and we would have seen this world through the eyes of a female instead of a male. Jones and Ellison collaborated on this short-lived effort. Ellison, however, has denied that development went beyond a short "what if?" conversation, and that any efforts were solely that of Jones. According to Cult Movies 2, Jones had a sequel planned called A Girl and Her Dog, but the plan was scrapped when Tiger died. In a December 2003 interview,[1] Jones claimed that he has been repeatedly approached to make a sequel, but funding is always an issue.
The film adaptation won the 1976 Hugo Award for Best Dramatic Presentation at MidAmeriCon, the 34th World Science Fiction Convention in Kansas City, not far from the real Topeka. The lead actor, Don Johnson, won the Golden Scroll for Best Actor, which was shared with James Caan for his performance in Rollerball. In 2007 it ranked #96 on Rotten Tomatoes "Journey Through Sci-Fi" (100 best-reviewed science fiction films).[2]
The film was not commercially successful at the time of its release. It has, however, developed a cult following over the years and also inspired the video game series Fallout "on many levels, from underground communities of survivors to glowing mutants."[3]
On the film's DVD audio commentary, L. Q. Jones states that Harlan Ellison was generally pleased with the film, with the exception of the final line of dialog. In the introduction of the Vic and Blood anthology, Ellison criticized the film's "moronic, hateful chauvinist last line, which I despise."[4][5]
On August 6, 2013, Shout! Factory released the film on Blu-ray.[6]

Reuniting the award-winning team behind the moving 2000 film and featuring the musical mastery of Sir Elton John, Billy Elliot shares the inspiring story of a poor, working-class boy who discovers his passion for dance as his family grapples with adversity.

Billy Elliot brings on tears and laughs almost simultaneously. The show is decidedly dark, reflecting the bleakness of Billy's declining hometown and the uncertain future of his struggling family from beginning to end. Don't despair, however: the show is buoyed with plenty of ...

Employees Earn Dollars by Engaging in a Variety of Health Improvement Activities
By Sharon Poulos, director of product development at Optima Health
Sharon Poulos, Optima Health
When it comes to health insurance, employers are looking for ways to maximize their premium dollars. Employees want to pay lower premiums and less out-of-pocket. Health Incentive Accounts (HIAs) may be the solution.
On average, workers in 2010 paid 14-15 percent more for health insurance than they paid for their 2009 employer-sponsored health insurance premiums. The total annual family premium was around $14K and single coverage was around $5K, according to the 2010 Employer Health Benefits Survey, from the Kaiser Family Foundation and the Health Research & Educational Trust. An HIA is a reimbursement account tied to a health plan and is used to pay qualified medical out-of-pocket expenses for employees and their covered family members who are enrolled in these plans. Employees earn dollars by engaging in a variety of health improvement activities throughout the year. The employer funds the account and it is usually administered by the health plan or a third-party vendor. Unlike other similar types of accounts, any unused funds are typically rolled over at the end of the year — there is no "use it or lose it" provision.
Over the past several years employers have begun to transition away from traditional health plans. More employers are offering savings/reimbursement accounts as alternatives. Many times, these are tied to consumer directed health plans or CDHPs, which are high deductible health plans with lower premiums. With a CDHP the employer has more "skin in the game" and employees are ultimately rewarded for more engagement.
Requiring the completion of a personal health assessment (PHA) in exchange for a monetary reward is a good first step. The PHA is an evaluation tool that determines the health risk factors of each employee. This enables the employer and the health plan to offer targeted solutions for managing health conditions through wellness and disease management programs. Employees can then earn funds by taking specific steps to improve their health, such as engaging with a health coach or participating in a tobacco cessation program.
Here are three ways that HIAs can help save money for the employer and employee:

Hureau Saumur-Champigny Tuffe 2011
- Loire Valley
- France
- Anjou-Saumur
- Saumur Champigny
The year 2011 was an interesting year for many northern and central European countries, as the weather was more than unpredictable in the spring and summer. However, in most countries, the climatic conditions thankfully settled down in the late summer and fall. The result of this slightly difficult year of weather in France was a set of surprisingly small yields, but overall, these yields were of a higher quality than those harvested in certain previous years. A fantastic set of wines was also made in Italy and Spain, and the Rioja wines - when released - are set to be very good indeed. Austria also had superb year in 2011, with almost fifty percent more grapes being grown and used for their distinctive Gruner Veltliner wines than in the year before. Possibly the European country which had the finest 2011, though, was Portugal, with wineries in the Douro region claiming this year to be one of the best in decades for the production of Port wine, and the bright, young Vinho Verdes wines. In the New World, the Pacific Northwest saw some of the best weather of 2011, and Washington State and Oregon reportedly had a highly successful year, especially for the cultivation of high quality red wine grapes. Chile and Argentina had a relatively cool year, which certainly helped retain the character of many of their key grape varietals, and should make for some exciting drinking. South Africa had especially good weather for their white wine grape varietals, particularly Chardonnay and Sauvignon Blanc, and many South African wineries are reporting 2011 as one of their best years in recent memory.
For many centuries now, Cabernet Franc has been a grape varietal deeply associated with high quality wines. It is now grown all over the world, and is generally used as a grape for blending in the production of fine, aged Bordeaux-style wines, generally considered to be amongst the best in the world in regards to flavor and complexity. The vine itself thrives in cooler, valley regions in many countries, and tends to ripen quite early, allowing wineries to make the most of its fantastic range of aromas and distinctive bright, pale red color Cabernet Franc is still often used for single variety wines, and is popular with those looking for a grape varietal which offers unusual aromas, with everything from raspberries to tobacco coming off the glass.
The ancient wine region of the Loire Valley in France is a perfect place to discover the country's finest examples of white wines, which are made with a highly successful blend of traditional and modern wine-making techniques. Indeed, the Loire Valley has a wine-making tradition which stretches back almost two thousand years, and today continues to be a standard bearer for fine white wines made predominantly with Chenin Blanc and Sauvignon Blanc varietal grapes. However, it also produces superb red wines from the Cabernet Franc grapes which thrive there, and plenty of excellent rosé and sparkling wines for which the region is also famous. With almost ninety controlled appellations, the Loire Valley is an extremely important region within France, and the significance of their produce cannot be overlooked.
Year in, year out, France enjoys its prestigious reputation as the producer of the finest wines in the world. With a wine making history which spans several thousand years and owes its expertise to the Romans, it comes as little surprise that this most highly esteemed of the Old World wine countries continues to impress and enchant both novices and experts to this day. Despite the rise in quality of wines from neighboring European countries, not to mention the New World, the French wine industry continues to boom, with up to eight billion bottles being produced in recent years. However, France prides itself on always putting quality before quantity, and the wide range in fine produce is a testament to the dedication and knowledge of the wineries across the country. Indeed, from rich and complex reds to light and aromatic white wines, French wines are as varied and interesting as they are enjoyable to drink, making this country a firm favorite for wine lovers across the globe.

Mwnci Adds Oxygen DCTâs Penta Series Grading Monitors To Its High Quality Equipment List
Cardiff-based independent TV Post Production company Mwnci (Welsh for âmonkeyâ) has recently invested in two high-quality Penta Series LCD grading monitors, which were supplied and installed by Oxygen DCT.
Established in 1999, Mwnci specialises in editing film and video for broadcast and is synonymous with quality and cutting edge expertise. Operating from three locations in Cardiff â each of which has 20 edit suites â Mwnci also has studios, an OB truck and satellite links, not to mention an enviable client list that includes Indus films, Disney, Adastra, BBC HD, Prospect pictures to name but a few.
The latest addition to the Mwnci range of facilities is a Baselight Grading suite. Managing Director Rich Moss says: âWe wanted a really good monitor for this suite so we looked at a wide range of products. We eventually chose a Penta PDP24 because the combination of keen pricing and high performance was compelling.â?
Once the monitor was installed, Moss decided to demo its larger relative, the 47â? Penta PDP47.
âI have to admit I was sceptical as, usually, bigger monitors donât deliver such good picture quality. But when I tried it out I was staggered by just how good it was. Our colourists loved it and our clients picked up on its presence because the larger size meant they could see their projects in more detail.â?
Although he had initially only wanted one monitor, Moss ended up buying both. The 47â? unit is now permanently installed in the new Baselight Grading suite, while the smaller 24â? monitor is âfree floatingâ and is moved around the facility to wherever the clientâs job is being finished.
âOxygen DCT has calibrated them so that they are perfectly set up and show identical colours,â? he says. âThis inspires confidence in clients because there is absolutely no difference between what they see in the grading suite and what is reproduced in our online suites. Having both monitors is a luxury and wasnât my initial plan, but it has worked out very well because it enables us to offer our customers an even better service.â?
Oxygen DCTâs Penta series monitors are built to order and use only the highest âgrade Aâ LCD panels, combined with precision engineering and manufacture to the most exacting tolerances to ensure that every aspect of the monitors is exactly optimised to give the highest performance. The introduction of 10-bit LCD technology has pushed the quality boundary even further, enabling the recently introduced Penta Gold Series to exceed, in many parameters, the performance of grade 1 CRT reference monitors.
âNumerous broadcasters including the BBC, ITV, C4, RedBee and IMG, have held âtechnical evaluationsâ and âshoot outsâ, choosing Penta Series picture monitors for critical applications within their facilities,â? says Oxygen DCT Director Steve Hathaway. âMonitor quality is currently a key issue within the broadcast industry and therefore it is no surprise that all the major broadcasters are turning to Penta to fulfil their quality requirements because these monitors really do give the most astonishing and lifelike colours and results.â?
All of the monitors in the Penta Series have a long life cycle and require minimum calibration, which saves broadcast users considerable time and money.

Captain Contrat : solution juridique hautement compétitive au service des start'ups
Captain Contrat : une success story du réseau RETIS incubée chez ParisTech Entrepreneurs et lauréate du concours « Prix Moovjee Innovons Ensemble » 2014.
RETIS, the French network for innovation, was set up in 2006 merging together France Technopoles Entreprises Innovation (FTEI) and France Incubation. Its creation aimed at strengthening the existing ties between higher education and research institutes, science and technology parks (known in France as "technopoles"), incubators and European Business and Innovation Centres.
RETIS brings together its members fostering the development of innovation through the creation and support of innovative companies. The mission of RETIS is to lead its network ensuring quality through the professionalization and the exchange of expertise of its members on the tools and ecosystem of innovation, to represent them promoting innovation on the national and international level. The network gathers 5 types of complementary structures accompanying entrepreneurs:
38 BICs – European Business and Innovation Centres
Their purpose is to detect and support the creation of innovative start-ups and innovation-driven company expansion projects. Retis is the French national branch of the European Business and Innovation Centre Network (EBN) which accredits member BICs.
Incubators arose from the French 1999 legislation on innovation. Designated by the Minister for Research, they are tasked with encouraging the emergence and consolidation of plans to form innovative companies creating value from the skills and results generated by laboratories in higher education establishments and publicly-funded research bodies.
They are associated to Institutes of higher education and follow a similar purpose as public incubators: they aim at accompanying students, recently graduated and former students leading enterprise creation projects.
49 TECHNOPOLES (Science and technology parks)
Basis of innovation-driven local development policies, science and technology parks encourage cross-fertilisation. Coordinating and sharing skills, creating innovative businesses, promoting the local area – such are the various components of their work. Retis is the French representative of IASP (International Association of Science Parks).
8 COMPETITIVE CLUSTERS (Pôles de Compétitivité)
Linked to a specific area, these associations of enterprises, research and training centres, are committed through a partnership approach to a common strategy of development, aiming at detecting synergies on innovative projects run in common toward specific markets.
The members of RETIS act as SMEs' implantation and growth facilitators. Their nature makes them eligible for broad partnerships on national and international levels, initiating technological and commercial collaborations.

The Environment Protection Authority and Melbourne Water are investigating damage caused after a fuel tanker spilled about 8000 litres of petrol into a storm water drainage system in the east of Melbourne on Tuesday night.
A Melbourne Water spokesman said the bill for the all-day clean-up was likely to be in the tens of thousands of dollars after a thick layer of fuel spread through underground drains for about three kilometres from the accident site at the Blackburn Square shopping centre.
Nobody was hurt in the incident but dead fish could be seen floating in Gardiners Creek yesterday.

Andrea...wife, SAHM to 3.5 yo DS and 1 yo DD.
Today I had my first OB visit, or rather I was supposed to. As soon as I pulled into the clinic they called to cancel. I went in and asked them to at least check for the HB since I had driven an hour to the appt. so they had a nurse check for the HB. It was right under my belly button! I told the nurse I was thinking twins, and she agreed I was measuring quite big, so she sent me on over to the US lab. As soon as they had the US thingy on my belly you could clearly see two sacks! IT'S TWINS!!!!!!!!! Since I didn't see my OB, I go back for a re-schedule on Monday, but in a way I"m glad b/c I can now ask him twin questions, and know it is for sure twins! I have been measuring very big, and my uterus is about an inch or so below my belly button at not quite 13 weeks. I have strongly suspected for the last 2 weeks or so that there were 2 in there, or a tomor or something b/c I am just SO big, clearly look PG and need maternity. So, that's our news!

Ari is six and was a fun lover. And Emily was now two, standing, walking, and running on both of her feet. She couldn't talk perfectly yet, but at least she's still learning. But over the course of those years till today, a bad timing had triggered. The Clone Wars broke out over the galaxy. What was now far worse, their father went away and their mother usually stays with them on Coruscant, but frequently traveled to her home planet for quick visits.

ASU's Steven Threet calls it a career
Steven Threet, Arizona State's starting quarterback for most of the 2010 season, says he will not play football anymore.
Threet, who will be a senior in 2011, has suffered four concussions, two of which occurred last season. Threet told The Arizona Republic on Wednesday that he's still experiencing symptoms from the last concussion and still has headaches and has trouble sleeping.
Threet had a concussion Oct. 23 at California and another Nov. 26 against UCLA that ended his junior season.
"Doctors have told him a fifth concussion could be debilitating," a source told ESPN. "You don't want to be 35 years old and can't hold up a cup of coffee."
Last season, Threet completed 62 percent of his passes, throwing for 2,534 yards with 18 touchdowns and 16 interceptions for the Sun Devils. He was sacked 23 times for ASU (6-6). It was his first season of play since transferring from Michigan, where he was the Wolverines' starting quarterback in 2008.
The 6-5, 240-pound Threet, who is on schedule to graduate in December, will likely remain close to the program and help as a student assistant and work with the QBs, the source said.
Arizona State begins spring football in the last week of March. Rising junior Brock Osweiler, who started the final two games of the 2010 season (both Sun Devils wins), is expected to be the team's No. 1 quarterback.

Google Timeline Experiment Seen In Main Search Results
Google's "timeline view," which was previously only available as an opt-in experiment in Google Labs, is now being seen on some queries in the main Google.com search results.
Todd Mintz tipped us to the query ["book of revelation"], which shows the timeline results pictured above at the bottom of the first page. The timeline can also be seen on queries such as [thomas jefferson] and [albert einstein].
Clicking the "More timeline results" in the main search results leads to a page with much more historical data about your query that Google says comes from their News Archive search service:
News archive search provides an easy way to search and explore historical archives. Users can search for events, people or ideas and see how they have been described over time. In addition to searching for the most relevant articles for their query, users can also see a historical overview of the results by browsing an automatically generated timeline.
Search results include content from a number of sources, including both partner content digitized by Google through our News Archive Partner Program and online archival materials that we've crawled. Search results can include content that is freely accessible as well as content that requires a fee. Articles related to a single story within a given time period are grouped together to allow users to see a broad perspective on the topics they are searching.
In each example we've seen, the new timeline display shows up in addition to the traditional ten search results, and often appears along with news, image, or book results, too.

Dion's Wednesday ETF Winners and Losers
NEW YORK ( TheStreet) -- Welcome to Don Dion's "ETF Winners and Losers." Be sure to stop by throughout the week to find out which ETFs are gaining or losing.
Market Vectors Junior Gold Miners ETF (GDXJ) 4.9%
Strength is shining across the spectrum of precious metals-related ETFs as funds ranging from the miner-backed GDXJ to the bullion-tracking iShares Silver Trust (SLV) head into positive territory.
Thanks to today's action, the iShares Gold Trust (IAU) has managed to punch through its 50-day moving average for the first time since early December. I still view gold as an important element of any well balanced investing portfolio. For that reason, I will continue to monitor it in the days ahead.
United States Natural Gas Fund (UNG) 5.5% Natural gas is continuing to head higher, pushing UNG and the iPath Dow Jones UBS Natural Gas Subindex Total Return ETN (GAZ) to the top of the winner's list. The improvement in these futures-tracking funds has been impressive, but I encourage investors to look elsewhere for natural gas exposure. First Trust NYSE Arca Biotechnology Index Fund (FBT) 5.1% The volatile nature of the biotechnology industry is shining through during mid-week trading as FBT top 10 holding Ilumina (ILMN) surges nearly 45%. The company's climb is being attributed to news that fellow healthcare player, Roche, has submitted a $5.7 billion hostile bid for the firm.Losers
iPath S&P 500 VIX Short Term Futures ETN (VXX) -2.6% After heading higher on Tuesday, the VXX has returned to its losing ways. As U.S. investors brush off fear, the ETN has locked in another 2012 low. Over the past few months we have witnessed how dramatically VXX and other fear-tracking exchange traded products can yo-yo. Long-term minded investors should steer clear.Check Out Our Best Services for Investors

The rising cost of fuel is a topic that is high on the agenda for everyone; this is focussing our attention on the efficiency of our renewable energy solutions. Solar technology is not a new notion by any stretch of the imagination and solar power efficiency levels have increased dramatically – now solar panel manufacturers are exploring new and innovative techniques to reduce the cost of manufacturing the equipment.
Plain bearings and spherical bearings are components that are traditionally used to support the movements of the solar panel while it tracks the sun's rays for maximum efficiency. However, extreme temperatures and weather conditions caused by wind, water, dirt and dust take metallic bearings quickly to their performance limits. Plastic bearings from igus UK are made from tribopolymers (highly technical plastics); totally self-lubricating and requiring no maintenance, they are tested and proven to perform and last in these extreme environmental conditions, have a predictable lifetime and never fail catastrophically.

China moves further towards milk powder sector consolidation-paper
- Tweet
- Share this
SHANGHAI Aug 16 (Reuters) - The Chinese government is set to issue a formal proposal to prompt consolidation among domestic infant formula firms, a state-run newspaper said on Friday, naming Inner Mongolia Yili Industrial Group as one of the likely beneficiaries.
The proposal is part of the government's drive to slash the number of domestic infant formula manufacturers over the next five years to 50 from about 200 now, the China Securities Journal said, citing an unnamed source.
By 2018, China expects the top 10 local companies to account for 80 percent of the domestic market, with the largest three-to-five firms targetting annual sales of over five billion yuan ($818.00 million), the report said.
The newspaper said Feihe International and Wondersun Dairy were also likely to gain from the consolidation plan, but gave no further details.
Analysts said the consolidation drive is part of a broader plan to boost consumption of local product and allay fears about food safety following a 2008 scandal, when formula tainted with melamine killed at least six infants and made thousands ill.
Last week, the country's price regulator also handed down record fines to foreign milk powder makers, including Mead Johnson,, Danone and New Zealand dairy giant Fonterra, for anti-trust behaviour.
"The government sees a lot of room for consolidation and the real motive here is to improve the overall standards of infant milk formula products," said Sandy Chen, a Shanghai-based senior analyst for food and agribusiness at Rabobank.
Consumers in China are highly sensitive to food safety after persistent problems such as chemical-laced pork.
China's infant formula market is worth around $12.4 billion in 2012, and is set to double in size by 2017, according to data from Euromonitor.
In 2012, the ten biggest Chinese infant formula firms by market share were Zhejiang Beingmate, Yili, Biostime International Holdings, Yashili, Daqing Dairy, Feihe International, Wissun Group, Wondersun Dairy, Synutra International and Ausnutria Dairy , the data showed.

Community Health Forum: History of Vaccines, Part I
Vaccination and control of infectious diseases are two of the great 20th century public health achievements cited by the Centers for Disease Control.
Smallpox, a disease that wreaked havoc worldwide for centuries, was the first immunization target in history.
More than nine centuries after the first evidence of smallpox inoculation, the World Health Organization certified smallpox eradicated in 1979, the only vaccine-preventable disease to be eliminated from the world to date.
Smallpox played a role in the Revolutionary War and in the lives and fortunes of early American leaders.
The story will be presented in two parts.
Special thanks to Karie Youngdahl, project director with the College of Physicians of Philadelphia, for permission to paraphrase and quote historical data from the "Timelines — History of Vaccines," a fascinating website (historyofvaccines.org/content/timelines/all).
THE POX, Part One: From the Old World to Colonial Times
Variolation, the introduction of a small amount of active smallpox disease material into an opened skin wound of an uninfected person to produce a milder infection, followed by immunity, is documented as early as 100CE in China.
Variolation was risky, associated with fatal infection rates of 2 to 3 percent and the brief ability of variolated persons to spread smallpox to others, but safer by far than the risk of naturally acquired smallpox, with a death rate ranging from 20 to 50 percent.
Emperor K'ang, a smallpox survivor whose father had died of smallpox, took the bold public health measure of having all of his progeny and many of his subjects inoculated: "The courage which I summoned up to insist on its practice has saved the lives and health of millions of men. This is an extremely important thing, of which I am very proud."
European explorers brought with them a variety of infectious diseases, and smallpox made its mark in North America. Smallpox wiped out up to 50 percent of the Cherokee population in the Carolinas. A Brief Rule to Guide the Common People of New England how to order themselves and theirs in the Small Pocks, or Measles, published by Thomas Thatcher in 1678, was the first medical work published in America.
In 1693, Virginia Gov. Edmund Andros proclaimed a "Day of humiliation and prayer" due to a large outbreak. Tragically, the year after Queen Mary II joined her husband, King William III, to charter the College of William and Mary in Virginia, she died of smallpox.
Lady Mary Montagu, disfigured by smallpox in 1715, had her 6-year-old son variolated in Constantinople (where her husband was ambassador) by Dr. Charles Maitland, who repeated the procedure for her 2-year-old daughter in England in 1721.
Some social consternation ensued, and Maitland was criticized by the medical community, but the practice began to spread in upper social circles.
In the U.S., Boston minister Cotton Mather noted a variolation scar on his Libyan-born slave Onesimus (who had been a gift) in 1706. He confirmed the African immunization practice by speaking with other slaves who bore the scars and began to read a few years later of the practice in Europe.
During a smallpox epidemic in Boston in 1721, Mather convinced Dr. Zabdiel Boylston to begin variolating patients, and, after performing the first 248 such American procedures, Boylston was forbidden to continue this practice by local officials despite the five-fold improved survival of his treated patients.
Mather was rewarded for his effort with a grenade tossed though his house window with a note: "COTTON MATHER, You Dog, Dam you. I'll inoculate you with this, with a Pox to you."
Personal relationships and observed improved survival began to prevail, and officials realized that the variolated had to be confined for a few days after inoculation to prevent accidental contagion.
In grief and regret after smallpox claimed his uninoculated 4-year-old son in 1736, Benjamin Franklin became an advocate. In 1759, at Franklin's behest, British physician William Heberden defied physician tradition and distributed for free in the American colonies a pamphlet on variolation "with Plain Instructions By which any Person may be enabled to perform the Operation and conduct the Patient through the Distemper."
John Adams joined his brother to be variolated during a Boston epidemic in 1764.

Aspects of Spring
See the flowers softly blooming
All the trees, new leaves to bear
Nature's beauty thus unfurling
As we breathe the honeyed air
Early now the sun is rising
Spreading light across the ground
Birds are nesting in the branches
Hear them sing, the sweetest sound
Gone is winter's cloak of darkness
Farewell to that season's chill
Welcome now the warmth of Springtime -
Hail the saffroned daffodil
Lifeless grass begins to flourish
Coloured crocus grace the scene
Fallowed land is now new seeded
April showers - all is green
In sweet fields, new lambs are prancing
Up and down, in gay delight
Soft white fleeces bathed in sunshine
Such a splendid, beauteous sight
Young love blossoms in the arbours
Two entwined as clinging vine
Eyes that meet in warm enchantment
Lips as red as seasoned wine
Yellow chicks and eggs of chocolate
Easter bunnies - children smile
Happiness is all around you -
Take your time and stay awhile
