1. Price: £2.2 million
Savage Jungle in the Patagonia region of southern Chile calls to mind Jurassic Park, with its lush forests and towering cliffs. It's surrounded by majestic fjords and boasts no fewer than 26 waterfalls.
Looks pretty nice, right? It's an investment opportunity too: The asking price gets you exclusive developer rights to build on the 790-square-mile island.
Price: £3 million
Then again, just a few hundred grand extra could get you this unfurnished three-bedroom flat in Baker Street. It's fully air-conditioned!
2. Price: £2 million
This egg-shaped island off the coast of Sicily features a peaceful bay on one side and dramatic cliffs on the other, as well as a natural marina for your yacht. You do own a yacht, don't you?
Price: £2.3 million
Although, why live on an idyllic island of your very own, when for just a little more you could purchase a two-bed place in Kensington, with its own designated parking space? Amazing.
3. Price: £600,000
St. Bees Island is your archetypal South Pacific slice of heaven: azure seas, swaying palm trees, and heartstopping views. And not a soul around to spoil the peace.
Price: £800,000
On the other hand, there's this "well presented" three-bed place in Earl's Court, which offers excellent access to the A4/M4.
4. Price: £625,000
This is Moute Iti, French Polynesia. 4,500 square metres of white-sand paradise, dotted with buildings constructed in local Tahitian style — all of them yours to own — and situated in the most beautiful part of the Bora Bora lagoon.
Price: £695,000
But if Polynesia doesn't appeal, you could always go for this two-bed apartment on Wandsworth Green Road, a mere 10 minute's walk from enchanting Parsons Green.
5. Price: £4.7 million
Ariara is a beautiful, untouched tropical island in the Philippines. It's surrounded by a dazzling coral reef and offers complete privacy, despite being only 60 minutes by plane from the capital, Manila.
Price: £5.5 million
Or you could live here, on the somewhat less tropical Caledonian Road.
6. Price: £2.5 million
Big Gooseberry Island in Nova Scotia, Canada, boasts 50 acres, two homes, and a boathouse. Should the isolation get too much, there's a yacht club and golf course a short boat ride away. The brochure also promises, "mixed woods, an old 'Acadian Forest', open meadows, sea breezes and ocean views".
Price: £2.7 million
Canada, though. So far away. Stump up another £200K and you could own this two-bed flat instead. It's undeniably tidy, and quite near Victoria Station.
7. Price: £1.5 million
It might not be a tropical paradise, but Ailsa Craig, 10 miles off the Ayrshire coast, is still a pretty spectacular getaway with its four cottages, ruined castle, and status as a national sea bird sanctuary.
Price: £2 million
This two-bedroom flat on Marylebone High Street, by contrast, features little in the way of nesting seabirds — or wildlife in general for that matter — though if you're lucky you might spot an urban fox rooting through your bins.
Happy flat-hunting, Londoners!

OpinionAfghanistan: Beyond ethnic politics and 'jihad dividends' After a highly personality-driven electoral process, contested results have put Afghanistan's stability at risk. 07 Jul 2014 07:55 GMT | Politics, US & Canada, Afghanistan, India, United States The second round of the presidential election has polarised Afghan society, writes Moradian [EPA]About the Author Davood Moradian Davood Moradian is the director-general of the Afghan Institute for Strategic Studies and former chief of programmes in President Hamid Karzai's office and chief policy adviser to Afghanistan's ministry of foreign affairs. Story highlightsAfghanistan appears to be joining the group of countries that produce contested elections. Unlike the universally commended first round of the Afghan presidential election in which Afghan voters and security forces bled for democracy, the second round has resulted in the polarization of Afghan society and raised questions about the political stability, national unity and territorial integrity of the country. A joint, skillful, patient and firm intervention from the international community could prove essential in salvaging Afghanistan's nascent democracy and fragile stability. One of the two presidential contenders, Dr. Abdullah, is convinced that Pres. Karzai and the electoral institution are denying him the presidency for a second time in the wake of the 2009 presidential election. Dr. Abdullah's opponent, Dr. Ghani, sees the situation as onlyAfghanistan appears to be joining the group of countries that produce contested elections. Unlike the universally commended first round of the presidential election in which Afghan voters and security forces bled for democracy, the second round has resulted in the polarisation of Afghan society. A joint, skilful, patient and firm intervention from the international community could prove essential in salvaging the country's nascent democracy and fragile stability. One of the two presidential contenders, Abdullah Abdullah, is convinced that President Hamid Karzai and the electoral institution are colluding to deny him the presidency for a second time - just as he claimed in the wake of the presidential election in 2009. Abdullah's opponent, Ashraf Ghani, appears to believe it is a matter of time before he succeeds the outgoing president. Ghani is confident that he has achieved the necessary numbers for the presidency - that's based on the Independent Election Commission's (IEC) preliminary count. Ghani may also be banking on the West's desperation for signing their security agreements with Kabul before the NATO Summit. The leak of alleged audio recordings of Ghani's camp, electoral officials and government officials have reinforced Abdullah's conviction of an "industrial scale fraud" in Ghani's favour. Abdullah's powerful supporters - including presumably the former chief of Afghan intelligence, Amrullah Saleh and Balkh Governor Ustad Atta - have threatened to establish a "parallel government" should the Afghan electoral bodies and government unilaterally follow the electoral calendar. This course of action, of course, is likely to result in civil war and partition. Fortunately, there are few members on either team who would want to take the country in that direction. Worst case scenario However, their miscalculation of their own strengths - and their rival's weaknesses - may inadvertently create the conditions necessary for the worst case scenario. There is a growing recognition of the need for creative solutions to protect Afghanistan's political stability, national unity, and democratic governance. The process of democratisation is primarily political. Technical expertise and legal frameworks such as the electoral calendar can facilitate a viable political process. Based on this principle, we can only follow the electoral calendar within the context of an inclusive and legitimate political process. Another principle is accountability. Unfortunately, unchecked impunity enabled massive fraud in the 2009 presidential election. The lack of accountability produced a weak president and likewise undermined the authority of the Afghan electoral institution. In a multi-ethnic polity such as Afghanistan, the electoral majority should be counted, rather than rely on notions of 'ethnic supremacy' or even a "jihad dividend" - a term that alludes to the claim by some former mujahideen groups that they are entitled to positions of power due to their role in the 'jihad' against the Soviets. At this stage, fair and impartial authorities must investigate all allegations of election fraud with transparent processes if we are to avoid facing similar consequences. Another principle is constitutionality. Afghanistan's fragile stability and nascent democracy are mainly sustained by an enlightened constitutional order, and all electoral processes must be executed within a constitutional framework. Expediency, appeasement, and a narrow vision often solve acute problems while deepening chronic ones, and therefore must be avoided. Another guiding principle is the democratic principle. Democratic politics are based on a democratic principle rather than hereditary entitlement. In a multi-ethnic polity such as Afghanistan, the electoral majority should be counted, rather than rely on notions of ethnic supremacy or even a jihad dividend - a term that alludes to the claim by some former mujahideen groups that they are entitled to positions of power due to their role in the "jihad" against the Soviets. The primacy of non-violent discourse and the rejection of fear mongering is another principle. Neither the threat of partition, nor parallel government, and the threat of the Taliban's return and a sense of ethnic entitlement can be inserted as an electoral mandate. The other principle is the compatibility of process and result, where both should be constitutional, legitimate, inclusive, and credible. International mediation is an essential element in the process. Any such mediation should be comprised of three mutually reinforcing entities: diplomatic interventions by concerned governments, the United Nations, and a group of respected elder statesmen (and women). The international community, particularly the US, has a legitimate right and responsibility to be concerned about the implication of a constitutional breakdown in Afghanistan, which would have wider regional and global consequences. The UN's intervention is necessary but not sufficient. Unfortunately, the UN's previous record in Afghanistan, its compromised relations with big powers and its bureaucratic and careerist culture have undermined the authority, competency, and credibility of the UN. A group of respected elder statesmen can complement and support diplomatic and UN interventions. Such persons should be known as authoritative, knowledgeable, impartial and empathetic. Fortunately, there are many individuals among Afghanistan's international partners that meet such criteria. These including, to name a few, Pakistani Senator Mahmoud Khan Achekzai, former US ambassador to Afghanistan Ronald Neumann, former NATO envoy to Kabul Hikmet Cetin, former Japanese envoy to Afghanistan Sadako Ogata, former Indian National Security Adviser, Shivshankar Menon, former Iranian Foreign Minister Ali Akbar Velayati and former UN envoy to Afghanistan Tom Koenigs. Peaceful power transfer A key question is over the role Karzai plays in the process. In his public statements, he has assured the Afghan people and the international community of his unwavering commitment to transfer power peacefully and democratically. However, consistent with his patterns of behaviour, he was torn apart by his Machiavellian, tribal and pseudo-democratic impulses. Karzai has pursued conflicting objectives: remaining an indispensable player in any Afghanistan-related process and a saviour of any potential gridlock, followed by his skilfully disguised ethnic bias and maintaining respectability in the international community. As a political gambler and a master tactician, Karzai is likely to continue playing his two trademark strategies with Afghans and the international community. With Afghans, his strategy is based on bribe, divide, and manipulate, whereas with the international community he has pursued a strategy that can best be described as threaten, confuse, and manipulate. The international community and the Afghan people must be united in confronting Karzai's highly dangerous game and hold him accountable for his constitutional responsibility and personal promises. Afghanistan's highly centralised governance structure has made the presidential election a personality-driven winner-takes-all process. Furthermore, it is based on an implicitly ethnic-based distribution of power, categorising Afghan ethnic groups into larger and lesser groups. In the absence of a verifiable nationwide census, ethnic majority and minority groups remain contested and polarising. As part of a wider and deeper reform, Afghanistan's highly centralised and ethnic-based politics should become more diffused, democratic, civic, institutional, and transparent. Fortunately, abundant political will remains to find constitutionally inclusive solutions to Afghanistan's electoral gridlock, provided all stakeholders mobilise and synergise their efforts. If this becomes a reality, Afghanistan's arduous journey towards democratisation will become irreversible and an inspiration to the region's democratic constituencies. If not, an unresolved electoral dispute will push the country and the surrounding region into a black hole of insecurity.

From the Publisher
"Freud, Surgery, and the Surgeons was a profoundly moving experience for me and an astonishing education. Brilliantly conceived, the book traces the fatal twining of Freud's life and ambitions around the changing image of the surgeon, and ingeniously shows how shifts in both psychoanalysis and surgery affected their views of the other's terrain. Stepansky has written an intensely moving and unfamiliar history of familiar icons and treatment motives. Absorbing in its dramatic details and thoughtful in its subtle, tragic meditation on treatment in general, this book sheds such immediate light on the origin and evolution of psychoanalytic technique and bears so directly on the sharpest controversies of our day that it demands consideration in any future exegesis of standard technique. One wonders why the project wasn't undertaken before but grateful that it waited for Stepansky's therapeutic passion and wisdom."- Lawrence Friedman, M.D., Clinical Professor of Psychiatry, Cornell
"This original and stimulating study charts the rise and hitherto little known fall of the surgical analogy in Freud and psychoanalysis - the notion that psychoanalytic treatment works like the surgeon's sure removal of morbid tissue, an analogy used to bolster psychoanalytic claims to cure. Stepansky's extraordinary medical and psychiatric erudition bristles with new insights about Freud's gradual abandonment of the analogy, owing partly to his growing disillusion with analytic outcomes, his espousal of lay analysis, and his personal experience with endless, sometimes bungled surgery. Stepansky is justifiably caustic about the hubris of some of Freud's followers, Americans among them, who tried nothing less than to subordinate all of medicine to psychoanalysis. Rich with new medical and historical perspectives, Freud, Surgery, and the Surgeons includes important reassessments of the role of psychoanalysis in World War I, American analysts' attitudes toward psychosurgery, and Freud's and his major disciples' personal experiences with surgery, including its effects on their changing views of psychoanalysis as a curative science. Stepansky raises issues that no one interested in the history or practice of psychoanalysis should neglect."
- Nathan G. Hale, Jr., Ph.D., Professor Emeritus of History, University of California - Riverside
"This is a splendid scholarly book, meticulously researched, beautifully written, absorbing from the first to the last page. . . .With this book, the author is not only answering questions about the surgical metaphor but making us think about this cultural, intellectual, and therapeutic adventure called psychoanalysis. He does this with a sense of impartiality and proportion that is the hallmark of the quintessential historian that he is."
- Zvi Lothane, M.D., JAPA

Deluxe Choice has completed online and offline ID verification.
Deluxe Choice can only be described as "Possibly an illegal Hostel in the ghetto." From the outside, you'll never know it's a hostel. When I was standing outside checking my phone to make sure it was the right address, the lady who was working peered out her window at us. After checking in, she even told us "If anyone asks why you're here, just ignore them and keep on walking." Everything about this place is a lie, the lady working wasn't even the one from the picture. The ad lists a "private room," however I expected to be able to at least close my door. It was private, but it didn't have a working doorknob. At one point, the lady working came into our room to ask us to turn off our ceiling fan. She said it was because it was dusty and someone was coming to clean it, but the truth is she was probably trying to save on her electricity bill. If you enjoy fearing for your safety, visit Deluxe Choice, otherwise keep looking.
Good and cheap place to stay in Brooklyn. By subway mostly three quarters to downtown Manhattan. Though I didn't talk that much to the hosts, since I was mostly away, they were really friendly and helpful. They even provided free beverages and breakfast :). Would definitely stay here again during my next stay in NYC.
Ich war 3 Monate im Hostel! Die Gastgeber waren nett und freundlich, doch hatte ich liebe Mitbewohner wie eine Maus, bettwanzen und Kakerlaken! Nebenbei hat Wasser von der Decke getropft und als ich meine Wäsche zum waschen gegeben habe kam sie dreckig zurück!
He told us the day before our arrival the room was not available and we had to move to another place. Then, he didn't give me any answer that day. When we arrived at the house, nobody was aware. We waited for 1 hour a cab that never came. He moved us to another place which didn't correspond to what we expected. I tried to contact him during the week but nobody replied back. That was just unacceptable and I highly recommend not to go there.
Great experience! It feels like an intimate youth hostel. I met two of the guys who run the place -- very nice and accommodating. The common areas are welcoming, stocked with books. There is a big kitchen. The shared room I was in (two beds) was spacious and the walls were painted a lively shade of purple with funky horizontal stripping and red-and-white polka dot curtains. It's a short walk to the J train which takes you into Williamsburg and also straight to the lower east side of Manhattan.
Good vibes. Less of a hostel than expected. Bedrooms are minimal but the sheets are clean and they do the job. There is adequate chill space and everyone here has been super friendly, including the staff who are also very attentive. It's a decent location and it's quickly become my go to spot in Brooklyn. Book it!
Excelente recibimiento. Muy buena onda los anfitriones, excelente organización, y por sobre todas las cosas un buen clima en la casa todo el tiempo.
Best place in NEW YORK CITY!!! I'm korean. but not good at English.... i had been there for 37th days, the staff is so kind and nice share room and bathroom is cleaning, good!! staff's and I have party of his friend's birthday and he inviting me, we have awesome time. now we are friend if whoever see my review, hurry! make reservation!!!
My month stay at Deluxe was great! The people who run the place are very nice and friendly and provide you with a very safe feel experience. The facilities are nice and complete. My room was large, I even had a walk- in closet and only had to share it with one other guest, which was fun. The location is just a block away from the J line and brings you to Manhattan or Williamsburg fast. Lots of supermarkets, deli's and shops around! My final conclusion: I will definitely book it again next time.
It was more than I expected! I really enjoyed meeting people there since it was a guesthouse. Many interesting people and hosts were awesome. I want to go there again and share traveling stories with them. The room and the bed were moderately neat but the bathroom wasn't that pleasant since people are sharing it. But definitely I would visit there again if I want to meet friends and venture the brooklyn.

* Based on a light novel series by Shibamura Jin, illustrated by Houden Eizou.A long time ago, a sacred fox was deified as the guardian of the Mizuchi family. Kuugen the Fox was very wise and it could use various magics. However, because it was too mischievous, it was sealed into a small shrine in the hill behind the Mizuchi house by a priest.
In the present, Takagami Tooru, a Mizuchi descendant, often dreams of a woman who seems like a monster. The head of the Mizuchi household deduces that some sort of danger looms over Tooru, and she releases the sealed Kuugen in order to protect him. Contrary to what Tooru imagines based on the legends, "Kuu-chan", as Kuugen is affectionately referred to, is not a dignified creature. Not only can it turn into a woman of great beauty, but it can also assume the form of a man.

Nuance to Buy Transcend Services for $29.50 a Share: News Alert
NEW YORK ( TheStreet) -- Voice-recognition service provider Nuance Communications (NUAN - Get Report) is buying medical transcription and speech editing services company Transcend Services (TRCR) for $300 million.
Nuance will pay $29.50 a share in cash for Transcend Services, which represents more than a 40% premium to the company's shares as of Tuesday close.
With Transcend, Nuance will look to add to its presence the market for voice transcription services for hospitals in the U.S. by offering voice-enabled ways to manage clinical documentation. The company says that the deal will add between $140 million and $150 million in revenue in the fiscal year 2013, or up to 9 cents in non-GAAP earnings per share.
On news of the deal, Transcend Services rose over 40% to $29.40 in pre-market trading, while Nuance shares rose nearly 2% to $25.99.
Last fall, Nuance bought app-maker Swype for $100 million. In June, it bought speech regognition software maker SVOX and also bought software maker Equitrac for $157 million. "The acquisition of Transcend will expand the delivery of our innovative voice and Clinical Language Understanding solutions especially to small- and mid-size hospitals," said Nuance executive vice president Janet Dillione of the deal in a press release. -- Written by Antoine Gara in New YorkCheck Out Our Best Services for Investors

Monster Hunter 3G bundle comes with custom 3DSUpcoming Japanese release Monster Hunter 3G will be bundled with a special 3DS system. The Monster Hunter 3G Special Pack is due out on December 10, priced at 20,800 yen (about $270). The bundle includes a copy of the game, and a really nice limited edition white 3DS unit with red Monster Hunter graphics. There's another software/hardware bundle for this title. Andriasang says that Capcom will also bundle the game with the evil Slide Pad attachment for 6,990 yen. That black Slide Pad gear is going to look nasty against that pretty white 3DS, though.

Alex Barth via flickr1.4 million borrowers moved to positive equity (where homeowners owe less on their mortgage than their home is worth) in the year through the end of Q3. This is according to CoreLogic's latest negative equity report.
But a whopping 10.7 million or 22 percent of all residential properties with mortgages were underwater by the end of Q3.
"The substantive gain in house prices made in 2012, partly due to tight inventory caused by negative equity's lock-out effect, has paradoxically alleviated some of the pain," Mark Fleming, chief economist for CoreLogic said in a press release.
We drew on CoreLogic's report to highlight the 12 states that are deepest in negative equity. We ordered them based on the number of underwater mortgages as a share of total mortgages (i.e. negative equity share).
Note: Loan-to-Value (LTV) ratio is a measure used by financial institutions to gauge risk before approving a mortgage. The higher the LTV ratio, the higher the risk and the more expensive the loan.
Nationally, 22 percent of all mortgages are underwater.

With the publishing of Jack Nicas and Andy Pasztor's speculative and interpretive article in the Wall Street Journal in the fall of 2014, it seems every news agency, media outlet and publication has totally lost their minds in a fit of hysteria liken to Chicken Little proportions; sparking "end of days" tweets and forum discussions throughout the social mediasphere that has brought on an industry-wide panic akin to Orson Wells' War of the Worlds live broadcast radio play.

Beyond traditional smaller quadcopter designs on the market, the usual choice for an upgrade is a hex or octocopter... but the form factor of 6 motors and props on the three-armed "Y" formation of the 3D Robotics RTF Y6 airframe provides not only good stability in windy conditions, but a hotrod of a UAV capable of over 55mph and some truly impressive video footage.

BOTOX® (Botulinum Toxin Type A) Purified Neurotoxin Complex is a sterile, vacuum-dried purified botulinum toxin type A, produced from fermentation of Hall strain Clostridium botulinum type A grown in a medium containing casein hydrolysate, glucose and yeast extract. It is purified from the culture solution by dialysis and a series of acid precipitations to a complex consisting of the neurotoxin, and several accessory proteins. The complex is dissolved in sterile sodium chloride solution containing Albumin (Human) and is sterile filtered (0.2 microns) prior to filling and vacuum-drying.
BOTOX® is indicated for the treatment of cervical dystonia in adults to decrease the severity of abnormal head position and neck pain associated with cervical dystonia.
BOTOX® is indicated for the treatment of severe primary axillary hyperhidrosis that is inadequately managed with topical agents.
BOTOX® is indicated for the treatment of strabismus and blepharospasm associated with dystonia, including benign essential blepharospasm or VII nerve disorders in patients 12 years of age and above.
The efficacy of BOTOX® treatment in deviations over 50 prism diopters, in restrictive strabismus, in Duane's syndrome with lateral rectus weakness, and in secondary strabismus caused by prior surgical over-recession of the antagonist has not been established. BOTOX® is ineffective in chronic paralytic strabismus except when used in conjunction with surgical repair to reduce antagonist contracture.

Comparison of Korean Botulinum Toxin Type A Versus Botox in the Treatment of Essential Blepharospasm [Completed] To compare the efficacy and safety of Korean botulinum toxin A (KbtxA, Pacific Pharmaceuticals, Korea) against Botox in the treatment of essential blepharospasm, we performed a double-blinded, randomized, comparative trial comparing KbtxA and Botox for treatment of blepharospasm in 60 patients of the intention to treat population and 52 patients (26 patients from each group) of the per protocol population. The improvement of severity of spasm (SS) at 4 weeks post-injection as a primary efficacy outcome, qualifying non inferiority to the control group, Changes in eyelid closure force (CF) and functional visual status (FVS) after injection for secondary efficacy outcomes, and adverse effects for safety evaluation. Improvement of SS was noted in 90. 3% of the KbtxA group and 86. 2% of the Botox group. There were no significant differences between treatment groups in the changes of CF and FVS after injection (p>0. 05). Adverse effects developed in 16. 1% of the KbtxA group and 27. 6% of the Botox group, but no serious adverse events were found in either group. KbtxA was not inferior to Botox in treatment efficacy and was clinically safe with no serious adverse effects when used to treat essential blepharospasm.
Comparative Study of the Effect of Dysport and Botox [Completed] The purpose of this study is to test the effect of Dysport and Botox on forehead wrinkles and EMG activity.
Over Active Bladder Instillation Study - Botox [Recruiting] The purpose of this study is to determine whether women with overactive bladder (OAB) who receive direct instillation via a catheter of a Botulinum-A Toxin (Botox) with Dimethyl Sulfoxide (DMSO) solution experience significantly better improvement of their OAB symptoms when compared to a similar group of women with OAB who receive instillation of DMSO only.
Study to Determine If the Volume Used to Dilute BOTOX Cosmetic™ for Injection Affects Its Overall Effect and Duration.

The study was designed to test this thinking, using the crow's feet wrinkles as the treatment area.

Daybreak Kamloops | Feb 28, 2013 | 5:19
Tranquille Sewage Mess
Think you got it bad when someone takes all the hot water before you jump in the shower? Well, there is a complex in Kamloops that is without any running water... period. And has been for more than a week. To find out what went wrong and how people are coping, Daybreak's Samantha Garvey went to the homes on Tranquille Road in Brocklehurst. She joins host Josh Page in studio.

I love the detail on the front and back and the sleeves were even better than I expected. For the first time on Light In The Box, I thought I would try ordering something 'made-to-measure'. I was extremely impressed with the quality, size, packing and delivery time. It says on the website it takes about 3 weeks to make and then 1-2 to deliver but I received mine about 3 weeks after ordering it so they obviously made it quite promptly and as I have found from other deliveries from Light In The Box, delivery of this dress was super fast!
The finishing touches really set this dress apart from anything you can buy in the shop- the boning, lining and built-in bra. All so well handcrafted and really not even available in day-to-day stores and if one was to have a dress custom made with all of these features here in Australia, they would be paying more than double the price you pay through Light In The Box. Over all I am one very happy customer and cannot wait to wear this dress to my brother's wedding- not only can I rest assured it will look and feel fabulous, I also know I will be the only person with anything quite like this. Another fantastic bonus of purchasing dresses for special occasions through Light In The Box.......they are wonderfully unique!!!! I would highly recommend this dress to anyone looking for something a little different but with an affordable price tag. I am thinking of getting another one in one of the many other colours available!!!!!
