- Improving the Affordability of Inactivated Poliovirus Vaccines (IPV) for Use in Low- and Middle-Income Countries: An Economic Analysis of Strategies to Reduce the Cost of Routine IPV Immunization
This report from the vaccine technologies team at PATH presents results from an economic model that calculates the costs involved in delivering IPV vaccine in Indian immunization clinics according to three strategies: (1) intradermal delivery of reduced volumes of vaccine per dose, (2) use of adjuvants to allow a reduced IPV antigen content per dose, and (3) reduction of the number of doses per IPV immunization schedule. The strategies include delivery by standard technique and with alternative delivery devices.

- A Heat-Stable Hepatitis B Vaccine Formulation
This article, published in Human Vaccines (Human Vaccines 5:8, 1-7; August 2009), details a collaborative effort between PATH, Arecor, and the University of Colorado Denver School of Pharmacy that has resulted in a new formulation for recombinant hepatitis B vaccine that demonstrates improved stability at elevated temperatures. The formulation exhibited 9-week stability at 55°C and was also shown to be stable at both 37°C and 45°C for at least six months. This new vaccine formulation has the potential to be stored at room temperature for part of its shelf life and will help ensure the potency of the vaccine in areas where the cold chain is insufficient.

Customer Reviews 33 verified reviews
33 Sort by: Date | HelpfulOver the yrs, whenever I bring my car in for a problem or a routine check, the 1st thing done is the senior mechanic, John, listens to me and then inspects the car himself - he points out the very obvious findings & lists a few possible causes, but provides the caveat they need to do a more thorough exam. I live nearby & when I leave my car, one of the mechanics if not John drives me home - they do that frequently for other clients. If repairs are needed, John calls w/updates & possibilities for repairs & their estimates. He doesn't try to sell you any specific thing, however, he does not allow anyone to drive their car if it is unsafe. He answers all questions, including what would he do. All of the staff are polite, patient, professional. I have never had such complete trust in the care of my car as I have at Twin Towers. (And, I'm rather critical & picky.)

Latest Tbn Scandal

Posted 29 June 2012 - 11:40 AM
In my wooish days I tithed direct out of the business and the book keeper was able to field it as a donation. I ended up paying very little tax b/c of this. I did not expect it to be written off but I did not complain.

Single $5,800
Married Filing Jointly $11,600
Head of Household $8,500
Married Filing Separately $5,800
Qualifying Widow(er) $11,600
That means you would have to have at least this many write offs, including tithes in order to deduct your tithes. If you have less, you just take the standard deduction. Many people can deduct more, but your typical TBN watcher probably isn't among this group that can claim more than standard. Just my guess based on observation.
Posted 29 June 2012 - 03:40 PM
Sounds like the Paul Crouch gay scandal from a few years ago. Why anyone would still give them money I don't understand (well actually I do).
I believe a lot of it is fraud not protected by speech and religious protection. No one yet has the balls to go after it though.
People who give them money are like my best friend's poor Mexican grandmother who couldn't leave the house due to health issues and who would send part of her SS check to TBN because they appealed to her emotional needs. The nation's attorney generals are failing at their duty to protect helpless people like this sweet old lady.
I know too much about this, my wheelchair bound grandparents having no way to work and living off of social security always found a way to give and gave to TBN always believing that god would one day reward them, its utter crap, and I'm so glad to be out of that cult. I abhor the prosperity gospel.

That place is such a scam and should be shut down. To me it is one thing for a person who is religious minded to give because they want to BUT when you have a "CORPORATION" --Yes, I look at these "CHURCHES" and TV stations is nothing more than a Corporate business that perhaps is the most evil considering they are able to use Tax exempt clauses that "REAL" religion gets.

A Calgary reservist accused of killing a corporal and injuring four other soldiers in a training accident in Afghanistan has pleaded not guilty to all charges against him.
Maj. Darryl Watts was charged with manslaughter, unlawfully causing bodily harm, breach of duty and negligent performance following the February 2010 incident.
The accident, which involved an anti-personnel mine, claimed the life of Cpl. Josh Baker and injured four others.
Baker, 24, was killed after the explosive device -- loaded with 700 steel balls -- was fired on a Canadian Forces platoon northeast of Kandahar city.
Baker, who was serving with the Loyal Edmonton Regiment, was in Afghanistan as a member of the Kandahar Provincial reconstruction team.
Speaking to reporters Tuesday, Watts' lawyer said the ordeal has been difficult for his client, who was a Calgary firefighter on military leave at the time.
"It's tough for him to give of himself for his country and then all of a sudden face possibility he could be jailed," said defence lawyer Balfour Der.
Der maintained that Watts wasn't personally trained with the explosive device, and was only responsible for leading the platoon to the training session.
"He wasn't training on this explosive. He was never told he was in charge, none of those things," said Der. "And yet after the fact they're saying he's responsible in the death and injuries that occurred here."
But the prosecution said Watts' supervision of the training range showed disregard for the safety of other soldiers and is therefore criminally negligent.
"When someone takes their troops on a range, they have a duty to make sure that that range is conducted safely. They have a duty to look after their troops," said prosecutor Maj. Tony Tamburro.
Meanwhile, friends and colleagues of Watts from the Calgary Fire Department are in shock over the allegations.
"Darryl has always been an exemplary person in the fire department, very caring," said colleague and Deputy Fire Chief Ken Uzeloc.
On Tuesday, the prosecution called its first witness, Christopher Lynny, who was in charge of the platoon on that fatal day. Watts was under Lynny's command.
Lynny has pleaded guilty to negligent performance of duty. He has been demoted from major to captain and had four other charges against him dropped.
The trial is slated to last several weeks. The prosecution is expected to call close to two dozen witnesses.

Another fighter used by the Rebel Alliance. Like its brothers, its name is taken from its shape. It is faster and more maneuverable than the X-Wing or Y-Wing.
The B-wing is the Rebel Alliance's heavy starfighter. It is intended to attack mid-sized Imperial capital ships.
The flagship of any Terran fleet. These heavily armed and armored ships can be devastating if used en masse.
The M9 pistol is the current service pistol for the United States military. It is also known as the Beretta M92F.
The most common weapon in the Star Wars universe and a staple weapon for most sci-fi games.
The Intervention is an American sniper rifle made by CheyTac.
The Ginkei is the second fighter plane that appears in Treasure's popular top down shooter "Ikaruga". The Ginkei is piloted by Kagari.
An elegant weapon for a more civilized age. A Jedi or Sith is rarely caught without one.
A modified version of the M16A1. This model features a new adjustable rear sight and a 3-round burst setting instead of the fully automatic setting. It's accuracy, lightweight nature, and easy, tool free maintenance makes it extremely popular with military forces, though it was mostly replaced by M16A4 and M4.
The M249 SAW is the US Military's primary man-portable light machine gun.
The M4 Carbine is a popular firearm in video games and a standard infantry weapon for the U.S. military, and many law enforcement agencies.
The Millenium Falcon is a heavily modified Corellian YT-1300f light freighter. The ship was made famous by pilot Han Solo, and co-pilot Chewbacca.
Mon Calamari Star Cruiser a spaceship that is present in the Star Wars universe. These ships were used by the Rebel Alliance to counter the Imperial Star Destroyers.
A revolver is a type of pistol that holds ammo in a revolving chamber. It normally houses six rounds, and in games is usually more powerful than standard handguns.
A weapon that launches rockets.
The most powerful weapon at short range. Effective against Zombies, Nazis, Demons, etc. Videogame shotguns tend to have exaggerated inaccuracy at long range- real life shotguns are still fairly accurate over a decent distance, while videogame shotguns rarely go more than fifteen feet before becoming completely ineffective.
The X-Wing is a starfighter used by the Rebel Alliance in the Star Wars universe.
The Y-Wing is the Rebel Alliance's space bomber. The ship is able to dish out large amounts of damage with its lasers, torpedoes, and Ion Cannons. Also unlike its Imperial equivalent the Tie Bomber, the Y-Wing features shield generators.

StoneUniversity of Baltimore - School of Law Spring 2005 St. John's Law Review, Vol. 79, p. 377, 2005 Abstract: Kenny Walker, a deaf football player; Jim Abbott, a one-handed professional baseball player; Tom Dempsey, a physically disabled professional football kicker; Brad Doty, a paralyzed auto racer; and Nick Ackerman, a wrestler with amputated legs, have all competed at the highest level of sports. Persons with mental illness, individuals who are blind, and students with hearing impairments are seeking an opportunity to compete in fair competition with their non-disabled competitors. Can this occur in a fair, open, and just manner between competing athletes? Does the Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990 ("ADA"), the landmark civil rights act protecting an individual with a physical or mental impairment, require leveling the playing field in order for the disabled athlete to compete fairly? Will we see two bounces in tennis at Wimbledon, four strikes at Yankee Stadium, enlarging the basketball rim during March Madness, or a head start for track and field athletes during the Olympics? Did Casey Martin, a professional golfer with Klippel-Trenaunay-Weber Syndrome, a degenerative circulatory condition affecting blood flow, who was permitted by the United States Supreme Court to use a golf cart while his competition was required to walk during the PGA Tour, forever change the rules of the game? Will the ADA's reasonable accommodation provisions fundamentally alter the game? Can one level the playing field in sports without undermining the essence of athletic competition? In comparing and contrasting the level of competition ranging from little league baseball and neighborhood soccer leagues for children, to high school athletics, National Collegiate Athletic Association ("NCAA") college programs, and ultimately to professional and Olympic sports, is there room for the disabled athlete to compete fairly, openly, and equitably without disturbing the precious goal of fair competition? How does the ADA impact various levels of competition as the game evolves from a pleasing or amusing pastime for the young athlete to fierce competition by the elite athlete, particularly when it involves our national pastime? Empirical data provided in this Article is submitted to serve as a backdrop for purposes of elaboration and comparison. One hundred fifteen high school athletic directors in Virginia, Pennsylvania, and Maryland, and twenty-three college athletic programs were surveyed to elicit their opinions on the provision of accommodations to the disabled high school and college athlete in a variety of sports. Data was collected on the type of disability, the particular sport, and the nature of the accommodation permitted, as well as data on the denial of the accommodation, with explanations provided.

1. Responses of zooplankton to nutrient enrichment and fish predation were studied in 1998 and 1999 by carrying out parallel mesocosm experiments in six lakes across Europe. 2. Zooplankton community structure, biomass and responses to nutrient and fish manipulation showed geographical and year-to-year differences. Fish had a greater influence than nutrients in regulating zooplankton biomass and especially the relative abundances of different functional groups of zooplankton. When fish reduced the biomass of large crustaceans, there was a complementary increase in the biomasses of smaller crustacean species and rotifers. 3. High abundance of submerged macrophytes provided refuge for zooplankton against fish predation but this refuge effect differed notably in magnitude among sites. 4. Large crustacean grazers (Daphnia, Diaphanosoma, Sida and Simocephalus) were crucial in controlling algal biomass, while smaller crustacean grazers and rotifers were of minor importance. Large grazers were able to control phytoplankton biomass even under hypereutrophic conditions (up to 1600 g TP L1) when grazer biomass was high (>8090 g dry mass L1) or accounted for >30% of the grazer community. 5. The littoral zooplankton community was less resistant to change following nutrient enrichment in southern Spain, at high temperatures (close to 30 °C), than at lower temperatures (1723 °C) characterising the other sites. This lower resistance was because of a greater importance of nutrients than zooplankton in controlling algal biomass. 6. Apart from the reduced role of large crustacean grazers at the lowest latitude, no consistent geographical patterns were observed in the responses of zooplankton communities to nutrient and fish manipulation.

2005 Honda Element Overview
Overall User Score
Based on 20 reviews
Ever since the Element was first introduced, there has been a discrepancy between "expert" opinion of this car and the owner evaluations. The 2005 Honda Element is no exception.
Experts don't like the outside design, while drivers think it is sporty looking. Everyone agrees, however, that it has lived-up to the Honda legacy which, of course, is affordability, reliability, and great economy. It's also easy to drive, dependable, and practical.
At $16,600 to $18,500, it certainly is much less expensive than other SUVs.

Remote sensing has been used in karst studies to identify limestone terrain, describe exokarst features, analyze karst depressions, and detect geological structures important to karst development. The aim of this work is to investigate the use of ASTER-, SRTM- and ALOS/PRISM-derived digital elevation models (DEMs) to detect and quantify natural karst depressions along the São Francisco River near Barreiras city, northeast Brazil. The study area is a karst landscape characterized by karst depressions (dolines), closed depressions in limestone, many of which contain standing water connected with the ground-water table. The base of dolines is typically sealed with an impermeable clay layer covered by standing water or herbaceous vegetation. We identify dolines by combining the extraction of sink depth from DEMs, morphometric analysis using GIS, and visual interpretation. Our methodology is a semi-automatic approach involving several steps: (a) DEM acquisition; (b) sink-depth calculation using the difference between the raw DEM and the corresponding DEM with sinks filled; and (c) elimination of falsely identified karst depressions using morphometric attributes. The advantages and limitations of the applied methodology using different DEMs are examined by comparison with a sinkhole map generated from traditional geomorphological investigations based on visual interpretation of the high-resolution remote sensing images and field surveys. The threshold values of the depth, area size and circularity index appropriate for distinguishing dolines were identified from the maximum overall accuracy obtained by comparison with a true doline map. Our results indicate that the best performance of the proposed methodology for meso-scale karst feature detection was using ALOS/PRISM data with a threshold depth > 2 m; areas > 13,125 m2 and circularity indexes > 0.3 (overall accuracy of 0.53). The overall correct identification of around half of the true dolines suggests the potential to substantially improve doline identification using higher-resolution LiDAR-generated DEMs.
Karst depressions cause damage both in rural areas through the loss of arable land and in urban areas due to damage to buildings, roads, and water supply systems [
Remote sensing also allows inferences about subsurface karst structures (endokarst). The regularity of the patterns and surface alignments of karst features often are associated with joint patterns, faulting and folding. Conduits in karst groundwater are formed from rock dissolution along planes or discontinuities where the flow has characteristics similar to the water surface [
Digital terrain data are widely used to describe surface features and quantify topographic characteristics [
The present paper aims to develop a semi-automatic method for doline identification in central Brazil using three different DEMs: (a) the ASTER Global Digital Elevation Model (ASTER-GDEM) Version 1 from the USA's National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) and Japan's Ministry of Economy, Trade and Industry (METI); (b) the SRTM Version 4.1 DEM compiled by the Consultative Group on International Agricultural Research Consortium for Spatial Information (CGIAR-CSI); and (c) the DEM made from the high-resolution satellite sensor Advanced Land Observing Satellite/Panchromatic Remote-sensing Instrument for Stereo Mapping (ALOS/PRISM).
The approach combines a threshold sink depth and morphometric analysis in order to refine the identification of karst depressions. Here, our focus is limited to automated DEM-based classification and we do not address the strong potential for improved identification of dolines by combining DEM analysis with image classification [
Brazil has 425,000–600,000 km2 of limestone rocks in different biomes [
We analyzed a small area of the Bambuí Speleological Province in Central Brazil. This province is underlain by rocks of the Bambuí Group [
We compared three different DEMs—ASTER-GDEM, ALOS/PRISM-DEM and SRTM-DEM—all processed in four steps, the first of which was DEM acquisition and evaluation of the best DEM for our purposes. We next identified closed depressions or sinks in the DEMs and digitally "filled" them by interpolation from neighboring elevations outside the depression polygons. We calculated sink depths as the difference between the original and processed DEMs. The final step was the elimination of false detections using morphometric attributes and visual interpretation overlaying the depression vectors on the high-resolution remotely sensed image.
We analyzed the potential of DEMs for mapping closed depressions using data from different sensors with various data-acquisition methods and spatial resolution: ASTER-GDEM (30 m), ALOS/PRISM-DEM (5 m) and SRTM-DEM (90 m).
The ASTER-GDEM was generated using ASTER Level-1A bands 3N (nadir-viewing) and 3B (backward-viewing) images from the Visible/Near-Infrared (VNIR) sensor. The VNIR subsystem consists of nadir- and rear-viewing telescopes looking 0° and 27.7° backwards that allow the generation of stereoscopic data with a time lag around one minute [
The SRTM flown on Space Shuttle Endeavour in February 2,000 carried in the cargo bay two synthetic aperture radars, a C-band system (5.6 cm; C-RADAR) and an X-band system (3.1 cm; X-RADAR) [
The ALOS was launched on 24 January 2006 by the Japan Aerospace Exploration Agency (JAXA) with PRISM on board, which acquires images with spatial resolution of 2.5 m. PRISM produces triplet images that achieve along-track stereoscopy by three independent cameras for viewing nadir, forward and backward where the images are acquired in the same orbit at almost the same time [
The stereo DEM extraction from ALOS/PRISM data was done using the commercial software, PCI Geomatica orthoengine. Artifacts in the data were assessed by visual inspection and specific algorithms [
The methodology we used to determine the "sink depth" of closed depressions involved two DEM operations. The first step used the "Fillsink" algorithm from the ArcMap software package [
The difference image (
Thus, the key issue is to establish criteria to separate the dolines from the spurious artifacts and other types of depression (e.g., reservoirs or quarries). In this paper, the delimitation of the spurious depressions is derived from threshold values of morphometric attributes, specifically depth, size, and shape.
Evaluation of appropriate threshold values to represent the boundary between dolines and the surrounding landscape ("no-dolines") was obtained by comparing maps of identified dolines with previous mapping of dolines from field validation and interpretation of higher-spatial-resolution imagery (ALOS-PRISM and Google Earth images). The karst features investigated in the study area are easily identified by visual interpretation, as they are characterized by natural moist grassy vegetation where the water table approaches the surface for part of the year, leading to a striking difference in visual appearance from the surrounding vegetation.
We used a range of different empirical threshold values for the minimum sink depth to identify the best threshold value from the maximum accuracy index between manual and automated classification. In assessing classification and change-detection techniques using remotely sensed images, the threshold values for the delimitation of classes are commonly identified from overall accuracy and a Kappa index [
Inevitably, using the proposed method a mapped doline will be represented by more than one polygon. Redundant data (R) must be considered in computing the accuracy index in order to avoid the overestimation. We used the following equation:
Morphometric analysis may be used to improve the accuracy of predicting doline occurrence and eliminate false dolines. Many of the false dolines can be easily eliminated as being incompatible with known characteristics of karst depressions in the study area (
Visual inspection revealed that erroneous polygons generally had a small area, low circularity and were shallow, suggesting that undesirable polygons can be eliminated using threshold value criteria for these morphometric attributes. We superimposed vectors on Google Earth images to identify polygons that represent correctly karst depressions and thereby evaluate the range of morphometric values suitable for use as threshold criteria.
The dolines obtained by morphometric attributes were compared with a reference map using traditional geomorphological procedures such as field surveys and visual interpretation of high-resolution remote sensing image from ALOS/PRISM and Google Earth. In this comparison are evaluated quantities of correct predictions (TP), Type I errors (FP) and Type II errors (FN).
A greater average depth threshold decreases the number of false dolines. However these deeper thresholds do not give the real plan-view area of the dolines. In order to correct for this error, a new mask with a threshold value > 0 m was built and applied to the true dolines previously selected, eliminating the noisy polygons. In doing this, the polygons generated from the depth data are replaced by polygons generated using the shallow depth threshold. This procedure allows having a real area of the doline to be compared with the areas calculated in visual interpretation. However the exact polygon representation is inherently imprecise because the landform itself is hard to define precisely,
The reference map was built from the visual interpretation of ALOS/PRISM image (2.5 m); Google Earth images, and detailed field validation. This mapping identified 249 dolines (
The distribution and depths of closed topographic depressions detected using ASTER-GDEM, SRTM and ALOS data reflected the different spatial resolutions and patterns of noise. For each threshold depth a binary mask image was generated and then represented with polygons. The sink-depth images were classified using threshold values ranging from 1 m. The best threshold for each DEM is defined from the overall accuracy compared to the entire reference map. Therefore a set of classified images made with different thresholds was tested to obtain the optimal value.
Our analysis shows that in our study area, the ASTER-GDEM is susceptible to noise, leading to inaccurate results and visual anomalies and artifacts that represent barriers to its effective utilization for doline detection (
Additionally, in order to increase the overall accuracy we developed a morphometric analysis that considers area and CI attributes. At this stage we analyzed the polygons of sinkholes with depths greater than 3 m (depth with highest accuracy among those tested with the SRTM-DEM) and 2 m (for reconciling high value of overall accuracy and high number of true positives).
Initially, the threshold analysis was done for the area and then for CI. In this text, tables of morphometric attributes show only the main results, highlighting the convergence to an optimal threshold value with maximum overall accuracy. For area-size analysis from SRTM-DEM, the best overall accuracy (0.52) was obtained from the following conditions: depth > 2 m and area > 16,200 m2 (
The threshold analysis for the CI allowed a little improvement in the already obtained overall accuracy. Assuming a CI > 3 resulted in an overall accuracy of 0.53 (
ALOS/PRISM-DEM demonstrated that the best overall accuracy was obtained by the following combination: area > 16,200 m2 and depth > 2 m (0.53) (
As for the SRTM-DEM, the threshold analysis of CI in the ALOS/PRISM-DEM allowed a slight improvement in the overall accuracy (0.53) (
Once appropriate threshold values are defined from a reference area, they can be applied to other similar locations. Morphometric analysis identified little more than half of the actual dolines, which may reduce the need for visual interpretation.
The differences in spatial resolution of the DEMs generate singular shapes for the depressions. Due to the high resolution of the ALOS/PRISM image, the depressions are better defined in them, whereas in the SRTM-DEM the depression outlines are less detailed. Despite shape differences the SRTM–DEM indicates the great majority of the points described by ALOS/PRISM-DEM.
Larger doline polygons with better overall accuracy from SRTM and ALOS data are associated with a threshold depth of 2 m. This procedure increased the areas of sinkholes, making them more consistent with visual interpretation.
An analysis of the spatial distribution of morphometric attributes shows a correlation with structures and geological settings. The deepest depressions are connected to the main drainage network. In particular, the largest dolines show a NE-SE trend in the interfluve region following the preferred direction of regional geological structures and the drainage network.
With regard to morphological manifestations, two landscape types are distinguished in the study region: the upland karst and the incised river valleys. The plateau karst shows inter-relationships between surface and sub-surface drainage, developing karstic processes. The upland surfaces exhibit a parallel drainage pattern, with dolines concentration along the interfluves. The dolines are all on the undissected upper (older) landscape surface, indicating that dolines increase in number through time, as observed in other tropical areas [
Semi-automated landform classification using DEMs provides several advantages: fast acquisition of data over large areas at low cost, analysis of inaccessible zones, reduction of human errors by eliminating manual classification steps, ready comparison of results derived from different datasets, and the reduction in processing time. Our methodology for mapping karst depressions combines morphometric analysis with a minimum threshold value for the sink depth to identify karst depressions. However, some depressions selected by sink depth are actually data errors introduced in generating the surface and should be interpreted with prudence. We suggest a method for the separation of real from incorrectly identified topographic features. The identification of the optimal threshold values for assessing morphometric attributes was made from the highest overall accuracy, considering a reference map built from visual interpretation. These threshold values are limited to areas with similar environmental conditions. Thus studies in new locations must first define the best thresholds using a test area.
In this work, the ASTER-GDEM had severe limitations in the detection of karst features. However, this is not a general criticism of the ASTER-GDEM, which may perform better in other areas or other problems. The GDEM data generation process consists of scene selection, scene division, same-path mosaic generation, stacking, sticking, and filtering for both elevation data and water-body data [
SRTM-DEM and ALOS/PRISM-DEM identify more than half of the true dolines with an overall accuracy of approximately 0.5. The ALOS/PRISM-DEM has potentially serious limitations in the presence of clouds, whereas the SRTM-DEM is insensitive to cloud cover. However, the coarser resolution of the SRTM-DEM limits its utility in delineating fine-scale karst features. Practically all the larger sinkholes detected by ALOS were also identified by the SRTM. Therefore SRTM and ALOS data are reasonably well suited for use in large-scale mapping of karst features in Central Brazil.
The algorithm results could be improved by considering three distinct aspects: (a) the addition of other DEM attributes or polygon geometry; (b) the use of DEM with higher spatial resolution (e.g., airborne laser scanning); and (c) the application of other complementary data to the DEM, such as multi-spectral images.
In detecting sinkholes other morphometric information can be used, providing an additional component for spatial analysis. Siart et al. [
The use of images with higher spatial resolution undoubtedly enables better detection of sinkholes. A particularly promising area for future study is the acquisition of the morphometric attributes from LiDAR (Light Detecting and Ranging) data, which has impressive accuracy for detecting sinkholes and estimating subsidence rates [
Although beyond the scope of this paper, the use of classification of multi-spectral images can significantly increase the detection accuracy of dolines. Remote-sensing data, whether airborne or satellite-based, offer an alternative way for the doline detection considering karst-dependent features (e.g., sedimentary infills and vegetation). Thus the depressions can locally modify environmental variables: soil moisture, water stagnation, soil erosion and sedimentation, and spatial distributions of the vegetation with relative presence of dominant species. In this approach, some works [

The big casting news of the week is that Dane DeHaan of "Chronicle" has been cast as Peter Parker's frenemy Harry Osborn in the upcoming "Amazing Spider-Man 2". Of course, most people know DeHaan as "the villain" from "Chronicle", which is where this rant begins. What make seem like a nitpicking distinction just might be a tipping point in the comic book movies. (SPOILERS for anyone who has yet to see "Chronicle".)
While DeHaan does indeed become a supervillian (albeit in loose terms) in the finale of "Chronicle", he's not really the villain of the piece. If anyone gets the distinction of villain, it's certainly Andrew's alcoholic father, who lashes at Andrew every chance he gets, sending the emotionally-volatile youth over the edge in the film's car-flinging finale. The whole reason Andrew is filming so much in the first place is an emotionally-detached defense mechanism against his violent father.
If Andrew isn't the villain of the piece, he's certainly the "hero", or in more specific terms, the protagonist. His filming literally provides the lens by which we see the events unfold throughout ninety-nine percent of the movie. The action revolves around him (literally at times) and he's one of the only characters who emotionally develops (at least until his breaking point). This doesn't make Andrew any less of a "supervillain" in the climax, it does make him the most central character of the film.
While all of this might sound like a fanboy nitpick (and too be fair, it is), it represents a very crucial turning point in comic book movies. Max Landis maintains "Chronicle" is not a "superhero movie" and I think he's right to do so. While the movie could be the origins of a superhero (depending on what happens to Matt in "Chronicle 2"), the narrative doesn't really meet the tropes or expectations of a "superhero movie". For the most part, the plot eschews "Hero's Journey' we see in most superhero films. It's not even about the hero learning to use his powers - it's about three teens joyriding with them until tragic consequences take hold. Nor is it a "deconstruction" of superheroes, as James Gunn suggests, because deconstructions are really just mirror images of said expectation, turned 180 degrees on their ears. "Chronicle" is a completely different animal.
Here's why it matters: as I've said before, one day Hollywood is going to get tired of superheroes (granted, we might be on Avengers: Phase 6 before it happens). Regardless, eventually they're going to put superheroes back on the shelf for a while. When that happens, do we still get comic book-style movies like "Chronicle"? I think so, because "Chronicle" shows that these ideas are in fact bigger than superheroes, bigger than comic books. While "Chronicle" feature elements and attributes of a superhero film, it manages to be ultimately somewhat independent of the genre. "Chronicle" might be the one of the first in a long line of comic book-style movies which stand on its own long after dusk has fallen on the superhero film as we know it.
(That's it for this rant. Check out a new Blue Yonder Wednesday.)

" Brand: Naked / Type: Conditioner / What it does: volumizeses, "
Your dooyooMiles Miles
I came across the 'Naked bodycare' range in Boots. I haven't seen them elsewhere so I'm not sure if Boots is the only place you can buy them. These were on promotion (2 for £6, ordinarily £3.91), so I bought shampoo (see separate review) and conditioner from the Naked Volume range. I guess like most people I'm also concerned about the number of chemicals that are in the cosmetics and shampoos we use, so I thought I'd try them. The products claim to be 97% natural and cater for all hair types.The conditioner comes in a grey coloured tube, 250ml in size. The tube is not see-through like the shampoo bottle. Like the shampoo, the conditioner according to the packaging does not contain sodium lauryl sulphate, parabens and petrochemicals. the information at the back of the conditioner is written in a similar lively style to the shampoo bottle, which I really liked, as it gave it the personal touch and made it seem like the company are run by a small group of fun people. The conditioners natural ingredients include grape, passion flower and pineapple which act to smooth down the hairs surface. It also contains corn extract which are 'a bit like tiny little personal trainers for hair'. The range of products is not tested on animals as the company 'doesn't believe in testing on Bambie, Lassie or Skippy'.The conditioner itself is a white coloured cream, which works in much the same way as other conditioners. To use you massage into hair, leave for a minute before rinsing out. This product, like the shampoo, has a medicated smell, though not as strong as the shampoo, which is something I really didn't like. As a conditioner it worked well. My hair was free from tangles and felt soft and velvety. It also does as it says on the tube and adds volume to your locks. However, I'm not sure whether I'd buy from this range again, unless they did something to improve the smell!!
