Wine investment firm The London Vines collapses into liquidation

A creditors' meeting for London Vines, which was formed in 2010 and collapsed into voluntary liquidation at the end of October this year, found the group to have a deficit of £590,000 (US$960,000). Company assets are believed to be negligible, and the final deficit could still rise once all wine orders are accounted for. London Vines' demise follows the collapse of several companies offering wine investment in recent years. 'I don't know what the true deficit is yet,' Joanna Wallace, insolvency practitioner, from Cheltenham-based Findlay James, told decanter.com. 'Laura Goedhuis, of Private Reserves Ltd, is compiling a list of clients who have not yet received their wine. Some of the company's clients have their wine, but not all the wine is there. At the moment, I can't quantify what wine is missing but it may be substantial.' Many of the investors were of retirement age. Goedhuis emphasised that Private Reserves Ltd offers wine storage through Octavian Vaults and has no connection with The London Vines Ltd. Separately, Ethical Elegance Ltd, a company that offered to exchange 'underperforming assets' and claimed to exchange 'wine, diamonds, art, gold and silver', has also gone into liquidation. The deficit is currently unknown.

Gas Pump Safety
Static Electricity at the Pump
You get out of your car to get gas and as you close your
car door
zap! You feel a shock. This is caused by static
While the static shock may be unpleasant, it is important to
discharge the static from your body before touching the gas
pump nozzle. On rare occasions, the static electricity spark
can ignite the gasoline vapors causing a fire.
Static electricity is more common during cool or cold and dry
weather although it may occur at any time. Static electricity
is a natural occurring phenomenon and is not unique to the
service station environment.
Preventing a Static Fire
Before using the pump, touch metal or the car door with
your bare hand. This will discharge static electricity on your
body and will prevent possible fire.
Once the gasoline is pumping, do not get back into your
vehicle. This can recharge your body with static electricity.
If you must get back into your vehicle, discharge static
electricity again before touching the pump nozzle.
Cell Phones and Other Electronic Devices
Some cell phone manufacturers have cautioned their customers to switch off their cell phones while pumping gas because of the remote possibility that the cell phone could act as a source of static electricity.

Muslim Perspectives
Let's Make "Dream Teams"
By M. Hanif Lakdawala
Transparency and integrity must be the hallmark of Muslim social and educational Trusts and Organisations. They can learn from the corporate world, as corporate leaders also demonstrate integrity.
In India, the Muslim community has thousands of registered Trusts and social organisations with budget running into thousands of crores. The community is financing them through Zakat and other funds.
Unfortunately, many of these are inflicted with low morale, stagnancy and lack of trust. The public image of these trusts and organisation is not better than any political party. The community relies on them, heavily for healthcare, education, and political patronage. The performance of these social and educational organisations will decide the future of our community.
To achieve the objective of uplifting the community, these social organisations must have the right spirit and trust where members can express their highest qualities and values at the organisation level as well as at home and in our communities. When people are in touch with their spirit and are encouraged to express it, the organisation becomes a thriving community infused with a commitment to quality, enthusiasm, honesty, respect, creativity, integrity, openness and compassion.
By contrast, very few Muslim social and educational organisations have the culture and spirit as defined by Prophet Muhammad (Pbuh). The symptoms of repressed spirit show up as apathy, low morale, gossip and back-biting, fear, turf battles and power plays. It is no wonder that more and more Muslim social organisations are finding it difficult to raise finance for their future projects as the financiers no longer have faith in their capability.
Transparency must be given importance by these Muslim social and educational organisations. They must learn from the corporate world as corporate leaders also demonstrate integrity. In 1982, seven people died in the Chicago area of the United States. The cause of their deaths was a medication called Tylenol. No, this was not a drug reaction. They died because someone, not related to the manufacturer, had intentionally poisoned the medication with cyanide. This incident is most remembered today because of the actions taken by the company president. He attempted no cover-up. Immediately, he alerted the public to the danger and removed all Tylenol from sale throughout the nation. Only after he was sure that the product was safe was it re-distributed. That day, the President of Johnson and Johnson Company demonstrated personal and corporate integrity. He knew and acted on the company's mission to "alleviate pain and disease" and to provide safe quality products. That incident cost the Johnson & Johnson Company $100 million. That incident gained the Johnson & Johnson Company priceless public trust and has till today remained the brand leader.
So lost trust of the financers and the community can be gained by promoting integrity through transparency. Another factor which is going against the Muslim social and educational organisations is the culture of back-biting and gossip. It is so rampant that it kills the very spirit of these organisations.
Now what to do about gossip. Gossip requires a talker and a listener. If no one listens then he or she cannot gossip. It is upto each individual to make the choice to participate, or not, in this past time. In breaking free of the practice of gossiping, we could apply the four-way test regarding the information received and passed on to others- Is it true? Is it fair to all concerned? Will it build goodwill and better friendships? Will it be beneficial to all concerned?
The creator says: "O you who believe! Avoid much suspicion, in deeds some suspicions are sins. And spy not neither back-bite one another. Would one of you like to eat the flesh of his dead brother? You would hate it (so hate backbiting). And fear God, verily, God is the one who accepts repentance, Most Merciful" (49: 12).
Prophet Muhammad (Pbuh) said: "Do you know what back-biting is?" They said, "God and His Messenger know best." He then said, "It is to say something about your brother that he would dislike." Someone asked him, "But what if what I say is true?" The Messenger of God said, "If what you say about him is true, you are backbiting him, but if it is not true then you have slandered him." (Muslim).
The element of gossip enters a situation when you are not directly seeking advice or a solution for a problem, but are sitting with friends and bad-mouthing someone just for the heck of it. Back-biting and gossip is when a group of people find fault and malign someone, adding their tales of woe to it without a meaningful purpose, such that by the end of the evening there is no positive resolution and all you have accomplished is engendering ill feelings towards that person.
Muslims cannot afford to see these social and educational organisations fail or stagnate. The world scenario is changing at a rapid pace. We have to keep pace with it. The community needs to debate on how to achieve excellence in the functioning and growth of these social and educational organisations.

NFPA Launches 'Voice of Sparky' Contest
The National Fire Protection Association has announced that March 18 marks the 60th birthday of mascot Sparky the Fire Dog®, and to celebrate, they want to select a firefighter to be the voice behind this "spokesdog."
The contest runs Feb. 1-16. To enter, firefighters and other fire department employees are asked to submit videos of themselves "giving their best Sparky impersonation" at www.nfpa.org/SparkysBirthday. A panel of NFPA judges will select three finalists, and the winner will then be selected by voters on Sparky's new Facebook page at www.facebook.com/SparkyTheFireDog between Feb. 21 and Feb. 28.
The winner will receive a Sparky costume, public education materials and a trip to the Boston, Mass. area to record a video for Fire Prevention Week.
Sparky was created in 1951. In the 1980's, celebrity Dick Van Dyke served as the voice to help expand the reach of Sparky's messages, according to the NFPA.
"Sparky has allowed us to connect with millions of children and their families by making it exciting to learn about fire prevention and safety," said Lorraine Carli, NFPA's vice president of communications, in a prepared statement. "With this anniversary, we aim to reach more children, parents and educators with fun events and new educational programs throughout the year."
According to NFPA research, children under five are one and a half times more likely to die in a home fire than the general public. "Sparky plays an important role in communicating fire safety to kids and families," Carli said.
For additional information on the "Voice of Sparky" contest and other Sparky birthday celebrations throughout the year, visit www.nfpa.org/SparkysBirthday.

Chateau Phelan Segur sells vineyards to Montrose
Chateau Phelan Segur,Montrose News Wine News http://www.decanter.com/news/wine-news/483596/chateau-phelan-segur-sells-vineyards-to-montrose- 2010-03-31T10:36:00+01:00 Wednesday 31 March 2010
The properties are located next to each other, but Montrose is a second classified growth, and Phélan Segur a former Cru Bourgeois Exceptionnel (from the now defunct 2003 classification).
Bouygues has bought plots of Merlot, Cabernet Sauvignon and Cabernet Franc, increasing the Montrose holdings from 67ha to 89ha.
Director Jean Delmas, formerly director of Chateau Haut Brion and now of Chateau Montrose, told decanter.com, 'The plot that we have bought was once part of Montrose, until the end of 19th century. The terroir is superb, on the top of the Montrose hill, and next year we hope to be able to include it in both our first and second wines.'
Construction billionaire Bouyges has been in the mood for expansion recently, buying several plots of vines from the appellation with his brother Olivier, which have been used to increase the size of his other Saint Estèphe property, Chateau Tronquoy Lalande, taking it up to 30ha.
Speaking about the sale, Thierry Gardinier, owner of Phelan Segur, said: 'I have no intention of selling any more vineyard land. This is simply a return to the volume I had before expansion in 2002.'
Phélan Segur is now reduced from 90ha to 68ha.

Not bad
Reviewed: 29 August 2014 by NekoNeko
For a simple dress up and go out it doesn't do a bad job.
Supported by a head band, it still looks good and impresses. I personally like the Velcro for the veil, making it optional whether you want it or not.
Hat is lightweight and is quite sturdy, at least from the mistreatment from me!
- Pros
- Exactly what I expected.
- Cons
- Moves a bit on the head band.
- Bottom line
- What you expect.

Ordered with my Oh! Points. :)
Needed for a burlesque night. Perfect hat.
Would recommend a different headband just for comfort as most will slot into the hat.
The glitter is long-lasting and will not end up everywhere.
Overall the hat was admired by all and still remains a beautiful decoration in my bedroom to this day,

- Vibrant red colour, comfort.

You Can Leave Your Hat On
Reviewed: 08 August 2011 by Lovehoney - Alice, a Straight Married Female
If you're looking for the finishing touch to a burlesque-themed outfit, look no further. This spangly little hat shouts 'Moulin Rouge' loud and proud and lifts your costume from being a tad on the slutty side to full-on glamour.
The hat is heavier than anticipated, but it's secure on an Aliceband and despite quite a lot of bubbly consumption at a Hen Party I managed to keep it on all night.
One thing I wasn't too keen on was the netting. I'd put on bags of eyeliner and fake lashes so wanted those visible rather than hidden behind a veil. Thankfully, the veil is secured to the hat with Velcro so I just whipped it off and stashed it in my bag (I might want to wear it with the veil next time).
Love this hat and it's now in my dressing up box for the next time I'm called upon to be a ringmaster or burlesque diva.
- Pros
- Size, shape, sequins, how easy it was to wear.
- Cons
- The netting - but it was removable with Velcro.
- Bottom line
- Fabulous finishing touch to a burlesque-themed outfit.

Just had a 3 day weekend which was quite nice! Flew to Brisbane on Sat morning and right away boarded a bus to get to the Australia Zoo (Steve Irwin zoo). That is the only part of the weekend with which I was somewhat disappointed unfortunately! It took me about 2.5hours to get there (was supposed to be 80 minutes), it cost $54 to get in, it was quite smaller than I expected (I was ready to head out after about 3 hours) and it then took about 3 hours to get back to Brisbane. Don't get me wrong, it wasn't all bad! The Steve Irwin memorial they had was pretty cool, and they had a huge area with wallabees and kangaroos that you could feed which could've kept me entertained the whole day! They also had a couple of red pandas on exhibition from china, sooo adorable!! I usually don't mind travelling alone, but for the first time wandering through the zoo by myself I wished I had company! I remembered going to the Toronto zoo with dad and Diane and Michelle a couple of years ago when I was in pure hell (SOA exam) and about how good it was to see them that day and got a little bummed out… but then I went back to feed more kangaroos and cheered up again! J My hotel was in a great location in Brisbane and was pretty nice. I had dinner and a couple of drinks on Queen Street, which is similar to Sparks Street in Ottawa with tons of cafes and bars in the middle of the street (pedestrian street only) except it's about 10 times bigger! I was quite tired after travelling so much that day, so I went back to the hotel early and got some much needed sleep! I took a walk down to South Bank and around the CBD (central business district) in the morning before heading over to the Transit Centre to catch my bus to Gold Coast…. Here is where the vacation REALLY started!!
Got to the Gold Coast around 12:30pm… one word: WOW! The gold coast is made up of several beaches, all gorgeous and miles long! I was staying at the Crown Plaza in Surfer's Paradise, the most touristy/popular beach. I went to walk around the beach for a while totally amazed! The weather was about 32 degrees on Sunday and 34 degrees on Monday, but not humid at all so the heat was just lovely! I walked around the beach for a while as well as the shops at Surfer's Paradise, and took an Extreme JetBoat ride… awesome!!! The boat (which just very conveniently happened to be driven by a very hot aussie!) was filled with about 12 people. I was sitting in the front row with this asian man in his 40's… he really didn't know what he was getting himself into and was holding on to his camera and cell phone in his hand… and was wearing white shorts! After the first crazy 360 the driver did, we all got literally drenched and the little asian guy was freaking out, hilarious! I got smashed around the side of the boat pretty hard though, and I have crazy bruises on my arm, leg and stomach to show for it! Overall though it was amazing fun and I'm definitely glad I did it!!! After spending all afternoon walking around, I quickly went back to the hotel to change and get some sand out of my hair before going to Broad Beach for dinner. The walk there is along a highway (if you don't go by the beach) and takes about 20 minutes. The sun was just going down as I was walking there and I was hearing these crazy sounds coming from the trees.. At first I thought it was parrots, but quickly realized as they started flying by my head that there were HUGE bats! Tons and tons of them everywhere! It was pretty impressive to see, but I must admit that I'm pretty happy none of them got too close to me! J I had a nice dinner at this caf� on the beach with some wine, bought some beer and headed back to the hotel where I sat on my balcony (which had an amazing view!) with a book.
On Monday morning, I took a busy down to Burleigh Head, another nice beach area along the coast that has a lot of rocks along the edges.. not a nice beach to lie around at, but definitely a nice area to look at! I grabbed a coffee and just walked along the beach for a while. At this point, I realized that I'd been on the go non-stop and decided it was time for a break. That's when I decided to go back to Broad Beach and do the pancake for about 5 hours! I got some nice fish and chips on the beach and ate that while looking at the waves (AND the hot aussie men running along the beach!). It's crazy to think that it is possible to get a vacation to a location with weather like this for a weekend trip! The flight there and back was only about $150, so it's definitely very accessible. The end of the day unfortunately crept up on me sooner than I would've liked (doesn't it always?!) and I made my way back to the airport to head back to Canberra. Overall, had an amazing and very relaxing weekend!!!
It is already Tuesday night here, and I am leaving for Sydney with Sonia after work on Friday night and will only be driving back into town on Monday morning. We'll be doing mostly beachy stuff and going out, which is great since they're the 2 aspects of Sydney that I haven't had the chance to enjoy yet. It's crazy to think that I only have 2.5 weeks of work left and only 2 weekends left before heading off on my trip.. time is really flying by!!!

Overview:This webinar will explore a strategic approach to improve credit union profitability. The first step is to address the relationship between risk and reward. In other words, profit improvement must be defined within a given risk profile. Some credit union directors will desire more risk than others. This is not viewed as right or wrong – simply different. After risk, the webinar will address:
A major focus will be the relationship between asset growth and income. If asset growth exceeds income as a percentage of net worth, the net worth ratio will fall. If income as a percentage of net worth exceeds asset growth, the net worth ratio will increase. In other words, the goal is not just to maximize profitability, but to maximize profitability within your risk profile and long-term strategic objectives.

Topic: Justin Trudeau
A Leader Who Wants to Understand Terror?
Most Americans don't pay attention to Canadian politics. Indeed most U.S. citizens probably can't even name the prime minister of our neighbor to the north. But the leader of one of Canada's opposition parties gave us a reason to have something of a rooting interest the next time residents of the Great White North go to the polls. Justin Trudeau, the new head of Canada's Liberal Party, reacted to the terrorist bombing in Boston on Monday with a curious declaration about the need to understand the people who had committed the atrocity. In an interview with the CBC, Trudeau gave a textbook definition of how not to speak about terrorism:
We have to look at the root causes. Now, we don't know now if it was terrorism or a single crazy or a domestic issue or a foreign issue. But there is no question that this happened because there is someone who feels completely excluded. Completely at war with innocents. At war with a society. And our approach has to be, okay, where do those tensions come from?
For anyone to be speaking of "root causes" of a horrible crime whose perpetrators and/or cause was yet unknown illustrates a knee-jerk reflex to appease criminals that ought to render the speaker ineligible for responsibility for any nation's defense. Fortunately, Canadian Prime Minister Stephen Harper, whose government's exemplary support of Israel we noted on Tuesday, was quick to respond in exactly the fashion that Americans appreciate:
"When you see this type of violent act, you do not sit around trying to rationalize it or make excuses for it or figure out its root causes," Harper told reporters. "You condemn it categorically, and to the extent you can deal with the perpetrators, you deal with them as harshly as possible."

Javier Hernandez could eventually become the top North American goal scorer at the World Cup, but Donovan could additionally benefit from being the PK taker (like Blanco has) if the US continues to perform well in 2014 and if he makes it to 2018.
I know, and LD at 36. I just wanted to give them the same amount of WCs. They both may only play 4 and not 5. I guess that LD has a better chance of playing 5.
For anyone that plays forward or midfield, it all depends on their style of play. A Bofo, Riquelme, Blanco creative type, can probably play for a longer time. A Chicharito, Landon, Beasley and Medina type rely heavily on their speed or quickness, some both, for most of their game. These type of players age quickly. Hugo Sanchez, Guille, were outstanding players in their youth and prime, but once past 30, it got ugly. Guille, right now, and Sanchez @Dallas Burn. lol
FC Twente bigger than chivas......I don´t know about that. on the second part, It all depends on Chicharo. If he scores a lot of goals this season he could be be the best in Concacaf this year( yes I know how hard thats gonna be)
Not to sound like a hater, but considering none of the CONCACAF teams were all that impressive this year (None making it as far as the Quarter-Finals), there really isn't any reason to make such a big deal about this. Afterall, Gonzalo Higuain had as many goals in a single game.
I think you misinterpreted the topic title. Landon Donovan has scored 5 goals during his career at the World Cup, which is more than any other CONCACAF player all time. For comparison's sake I believe Luis Hernandez has 4, Blanco and Wanchope 3 each.
I not asking which team is currently better, more like which team is bigger How many league titles does Twenty have? How have they done in Euefa Europa League/ Champions League in their history?
Better than Chivas (because chivas is not i Europe) They are not one of the top teams in Holland, I do not think they played the champions last year but they did play in the UEFA. Ruiz scored 24 in the league, 2 in UEFA qualification, 0 in group play, 2 in their local cup. 28 total in 2009-2010. http://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/en/bryan/leistungsdaten/spieler_39642.html He did not score against PSV. , but he did score against AZ Alkmaar. P.S. they did finish second in Eredivise in 2009, 4th in 2008, not sure about last year.
First of, congrats to Donovan, here in Mexico he is not a very popular player. Many mexican fans hate him, but I think he is a great player. About Chivas vs Twente. I hate when fans from America (the continent, not the USA) instantly think that because it is in Europe, must be better than us. Right now, maybe Twente has a better team, and can beat Chivas in a home & away match, but you can't say that a small team from the netherlands is bigger than a top team from Mexico and one of the best and biggest teams in our continent. I mean, Club Deportivo Guadalajara is in pair of teams like Boca Juniors or River Plate, I bet you will never say Twente is bigger than those teams.
Well many people in Argentina would also disagree with your comment. Brazil is the top league in the Americas, they are probably top 6 or top 8 in the world, Argentina is also pretty good, but they might not be top 10 in the world, Mexico would probably be top 15. I know there is a ranking out there that ranks Argentina #2, but that same ranking has EPL #4 so But to your point, yes many teams in Brazil could play and compete in EPL and La Liga, Argentinean teams, and perhaps top Mexican teams, but as a hole, how would a middle of the table teams compete against each other, how about bottom of the table teams? Actually to make your point more valid, you could argue that breaking down the opposition and quality of teams that both Hernandez and Ruiz played against and scored against. Did one of them score most of their goals against middle to bottom of the table teams, and the other score against the top teams? That analysis would be a little better.
Actually the best way to compare teams is based on salary, it is not a perfect system, but over the long run statistically speaking teams with higher salaries will end up with the most points. Again not always, just look at Club America .
Probably, and maybe, but all of your analysis is based on your perception that the FMF just isn't up to par. 10 to 15# is laughable. Did you analyse the fact that there is currently a Mexican team in the final of Libertadores? Did you forget we actually have a South American title to our name? Mexican teams have a winning record against the entire western hemisphere, except against Brazilian clubs. The FMF is home to the most advanced and state of the art soccer specific stadium in the western hemisphere. It's also home to one of the, if not the most historic soccer shrine on the planet; Azteca. We win all the of the North American champions league titles. We make the most money, and don't rely on transfer funds to stay afloat, but still transfer players to europe all the time, Mexican or foreign. We get the best non Euro quality foreigners in their prime. We have the best infrastructure and have the most advanced soccer training facilities in the entire hemisphere. All of this puts us in the probably 10 to 15 range? Lmao. People just think because it's Mexican, it can't be that great. We'll put it ranked #14. That's just the truth. It's the Mexican league, I don't know much about it, so i'll write it off. p.s., this is the longest post I've ever written. lol
It is about the money Son! You could argue that Mexican league is better than Argentina, It would be a heated debate and Argentineans and Mexicans would never agree, that would mean top 10 perhaps, but nowhere near Brazil, and Brazil will just get much better as the country grows its economy. I will assume that you understand that the Brazil league is better, top to bottom not just the elite teams, think America and Queretaro FC. and think Sao Paulo and Guarani. Now the leagues we can agree: EPL La Liga Serie A Bundesliga Brazil France (Ligue 1) That would mean at least 6 better than Mexico. So you could argue that Mexico has the 7th best league in the world if you want. I am sure there will be disagreements with you. Now leagues that you would disagree, but could be better or equal to Mexico Champions league (2nd div England) Holland Russia Turkey Greece Portugal Argentina So you see to 10 or top 14 is not as crazy as it sounds. Maybe you were upset that I said probably, how about this Mexico league is surely in the top 15 in the world, and perhaps the 7th best in the world. It could be equal or even better than the Eurodivise league. Does that un-bunch your pantyhose?
The thing about Argentina, it has a lot more silverware, but at the same time, that's all accumulated through decades of playing in a tournament that Mexico has only participated for just over a decade. That's the difference, there would be no question who was better if the Mexican league could add more titles under their belt. We'll be working on that next wednesday. Still, because of that, Argentina > Mexico. No disputing that. That's leaves it in arguably 8th, which is about right.
That is perhaps I personally rank Holland ahead of them both, Holland used to be very good in the European tournaments, Ajax won a few Champions, but that was long time ago, some people may argue that Russia is now a better league, they at least have some good players. The argument can be made that most European leagues are top heavy (good 3-5) teams and the rest are not very good. But if Mexico had a single table and no playoffs I think that Mexico would look just like the European leagues with 5 teams winning all the tournaments. Teams would not just cruise in the regular season and turn it on in the playoffs, and the teams that could afford to pay for good depth would win out at the end.
Argentina has won a lot more silverware in just the last five years. Mexico is obviously at least the third best league in the hemisphere top to bottom. Can't say though that they can claim being better than Argentina right now. Eventually they will win a Libertadores, but then so has Paraguay, Colombia and Ecuador and those just in the last ten years and nobody claims they are better than Argentina with just that.
I think that the case can be made for the Mexican league due to the head to head record that Mexican teams have against Argentina in the South American tournaments. I wish there was a UEFA style league rankings/stats to see what leagues are stronger. There might be some surprises. By the way none of this takes away from LD being the highest concacaf scorer in the WC!
No. Dwight Yorke (Manchester United/T&T) comes to mind immediately. Lots of CONCACAF players have had much better careers than Donovan, but not the success at the World Cup because their countries haven't qualified. By the same logic, you would say Donovan > Giggs, since Giggs has never scored in a WC, which is just silly. Why don't we talk about CL goals as well? And, of course, any measurement by goals only is weighted towards forwards and attacking mids, leaving out defensive players and GK's altogether. Yes, LD is a quality player, but not the best CONCACAF has ever produced. Heck, Rafa Marquez has La Liga titles and CL titles (and more goals in each than Landon).

Treating Blood Clots
Blood clots are very dangerous. If you have a blood clot, you need to get help right away. Here are some ways blood clots are treated.
Blood Thinners
Blood thinners are the most common way to treat blood clots. They decrease the ability of blood to clot. Blood thinners are also called anticoagulation drugs, or anticoagulants. Here are some of them:
- Enoxaparin (Lovenox®) is taken as a shot 1 or 2 times per day.
- Heparin (Calciparine® or Liquaemin®) is taken as a shot or by IV. Your doctor will keep an eye on the dose to prevent bleeding problems.
- Warfarin (Coumadin®) is swallowed. The foods you eat can affect the level of warfarin in your blood. Your doctor will keep an eye on the dose to prevent bleeding problems and to make sure the Coumadin in your blood is at a high enough level.
Some doctors think some people with PNH who are more at risk of blood clots should take blood thinners to prevent clots; others disagree.
tPAs (Tissue Plasminogen Activators)
tPAs may be used to break up an existing blood clot, especially if the clot is large. These drugs usually work only in the first 48 hours after a clot. They can cause bleeding.
Studies have shown that Eculizumab (Soliris®) can also reduce the risk of blood clots.
Other Drugs
Some drugs, such as aspirin and ibuprofen, stop platelets from working well. This can help stop blood clots. But doctors don't know how well they prevent or treat clots in people with PNH. Take these drugs only if your doctor says you should.

Description: Civilization 4: Beyond the Sword - Fairy Tale Mod
A mod for Civilization IV, BtS 3.19, that puts you in charge of a nation in a fairy tale world.This mod places a number of Civilizations in a fairy tale world; a world with evil sorcerors, mighty trolls, noble and manly knights, nimble woodelves and hot babes in distress. Original? Bah! This ain't original in any way. No-no. Instead Fairy Tale shamelessly makes use of all common and well-known fantasy and fairy tale clichés to create a pot of humour, excitement and of course pure good old Civilization nationbuilding. This mod does not claim to be original or impressive, nor does it claim to be Fall from Heaven. It does claim to be fun and exciting.

A new consensus and strategy are urgently needed to tackle the numerous, brutal armed groups in eastern Congo and to save the February 2013 Peace, Security and Cooperation Framework (PSCF) in the Great Lakes region.
01 April 2015
MONUSCO mandate renewed for one year 26 March, force reduced by 2,000. National intelligence service (ANR) 15 March arrested dozens in Kinshasa including visiting Senegalese-Burkinabe activists, Con ...
The Framework Agreement signed by the UN, African organisations and eleven countries and the deployment of an intervention brigade in North Kivu are positive steps, but conflicts in the Kivu region of the Democratic Republic of the Congo also require a bottom-up approach aimed at improving intercommunal relations and restoring peace at the local level.
The fight against entrenched armed groups in eastern Congo such as the ADF-Nalu needs to switch from a military to an intelligence-based approach. The full briefing is only available in French.
The Kivus region of eastern Congo again faces escalating violence, including by a rebel force acting as a proxy of neighbouring Rwanda. To stop the repetitive cycle of rebellion and avoid large-scale killing, donors and African mediators need to move from crisis management to conflict resolution with the right set of pressures on Kigali and Kinshasa.
The technical preparations for the presidential and legislative elections scheduled on 28 November and the beginning of the electoral campaign in the East of Congo have generated suspicion that risks developing into a crisis of confidence in the whole electoral process.
Faced with the dilemma of respecting the constitutional deadline and organising botched elections, or ignoring that deadline and sliding into a situation of unconstitutional power, the Congolese authorities have chosen the first option.
The attempt by Congo and Rwanda to end the deadly conflict in eastern Congo by a secret presidential deal and military force is failing and must be changed fundamentally by the Kinshasa government and the international community.
State building in the Democratic Republic of Congo is at risk of failing without a new impetus to support democratic consolidation in 2010.
The joint Congo (DRC)-Rwanda military push against the Rwandan Hutu rebels has ended with scant results. Fifteen years after the Rwanda genocide and the establishment of those rebels in the eastern Congo, they have not yet been disarmed and remain a source of extreme violence against civilians.

Presidential UFO Pictures
Ronald Reagan
Moments after this picture was taken in late June 1982, Steven Spielberg screened "E.T.:The Extraterrestrial" for the President and First Lady. Near the end of the movie Reagan leaned over to Spielberg and stated, "You know, I bet there aren't six people in this room who know just how true this really is."
October 1982: A few months after Spielberg screened the movie E.T. for President and Mrs. Reagan, Reagan and the last man to walk on the moon, Apollo Astronaut Harrison Schmitt, arrive on the tarmac at the Roswell Industrial Air Center, formally known as the Roswell Army Air Base. Moments after this picture was taken Reagan spoke near the hanger were rumor has it the alien bodies were taken following the 1947 crash. In his speech Reagan made reference to "E.T": The Extraterrestrial. Some believe Reagan's action was an indicator of his strong interest in the subject.
11/19/85 - President Reagan and Soviet General Secretary Gorbachev meet at their first Summit in Geneva, Switzerland. It was during those private discussions where Reagan stated, " I couldn't help but say to him, just think how easy his task and mine might be in these meetings that we held if suddenly there was a threat to this world from some other species, from another planet, outside in the universe. We'd forget all the little local differences that we have between our countries, and we would find out once and for all that we really are all human beings here on this Earth together."

Motorcycle Throwback - The 1949 Moto Major
Every now and then in our search for classic motorcycles we come across something that makes us take a step back and just look. Those bikes that make you gaze in a mixture of awe and wonder while you try to decide to hate it or love it. One of our favorites was the 1930 Henderson. But we recently stumbled across the 1949 Moto Major 1939, which rivals even the most beautifully ugly motorcycles out there. The 1949 Moto Major 350 was built by a Torinese engineer by the name of Salvatore Majorca right after the end of the Second World War. Majorca's intentions were to engineer a motorcycle that was artistic completely. From the body to the engine, the design was meant to be pure functioning artwork. The frame and body of the motorcycle is shaped and forged to make the motorcycle on streamline form with only the handlebars and wheels protruding from it. Even the rider becomes a part of the motorcycle once in the riding position. The front section of the framework wraps around the front of the rider to not only provide safety from flying debris and possible accidents but also works to make the motorcycle more aerodynamic as well.
But it may be what is under all that frame work that makes the 1949 Moto Major a breakthrough motorcycle for its time. Though it appears that the body hides the suspension, if you were to remove the body you flat out wouldn't find suspension. At least not in the traditional sense of the term. The 1949 Moto Major gets its smooth ride through special rubber cylinders that are placed between the hub and wheel rim. Just by looking at the design of the wheels on the Moto Major, it's obvious that this motorcycle was nothing like any other built during its time (or our time for that matter). Unfortunately, like the 1934 BMW R7, the public never got the chance to ride the 1949 Moto Major; Majorca's dream of bringing combined art and engineering to the roads was squashed by the low economic standing or the general public after WWII. After all, all of this design and technology didn't come with a small price tag. So the 1949 Moto Major 350 was limited to one lonely but beautiful model, which still remains today. But with custom motorcycle builders always looking for new ideas, maybe it's time to take a page out of the 1940's and bring back a modern Major.

1. Do I need to Identifie the value of 'magic cookie value' at the beginning to access db.db? 2. There is no data of the number of records in the data, do I have to count the number of record one by one? 3. If delete a record, do I just turn the flag of Record from 1 to 0?
// Deletes a record, making the record number and associated disk // storage available for reuse.
Originally posted by Javini Javono: Probable answer for 2: You could count the records one by one, but if you compute the physical size of each record in bytes, and you determine the length of the non-header portion of the file (by requesting of your file object to return its length and then subtracting the number of bytes in the header), division will yield the number of records in the file (assuming the file is not corrupted).
Thank you for your help. I have another question about your answer. Do I have to deal with the problem when the number of records is not equal to the number you calculate by the length(such as file corrupted or other reason)? Because in real world, we will met a lot of problem when we do this. I dont know whether it will be ok or not in the scjd exam.
Does "available for reuse" mean available for reuse for this program, or for any program. I.e. Is it enough to leave the deleted rec in the file for possible reuse by my app? Or must the file be smaller when a rec has been deleted, giving the disk storage back to the OS?.
I am confused with the 'recNo'.because there is no record number in the db.db and there may be some 'deleted' records in the db. Is this number the order number of the record in the db. for example, if the recNo=21, that is to say, it is the 21st record count from the 1st one(include some record set the flag to 'delete').
public void updateRecord(long recNo, String[] data, long lockCookie) throws RecordNotFoundException, SecurityException; is the 'lockCookie' assigned by the server which connect the db and the client?

Undergraduate Area of Study: Physical Sciences
Overall GPA: 3.57
Science GPA: 3.53
Brief Profile:
I'm posting this as a reference for myself and for others so that they can see how I fared in this application process. I was a chemistry major/economics minor with a bunch of bio electives. I'm just another student trying to get into med school.
I was thinking about going to pharmacy school but I took the PCAT and got a 99th percentile with only a few weeks of studying. That made me think that I should try to push myself and not sell myself short. So I didn't decide to apply to medical school until the beginning of my junior year and my activities were a bit weak. My work/activities included about a year and 2 summers worth of volunteering, shadowing 3 doctors, a summer and 2 semesters of research, a year at an afterschool program, 2 years of work at the dining hall, an alternative spring break and hobbies including playing the violin and golf. I took a gap year in which I sent out my applications and worked in a research lab at a medical school.
For the MCAT, I studied in the summer of my junior year and took it in September. I bought the exam krackers set to review the basic topics and took several full length kaplan practice exams during the last month or so before the exam since I didn't have the money for a class. I also bought three of the official AAMC practice exams and got about a 32/33 average. I reviewed all the questions that I got wrong and flagged the ones I was unsure about to make sure to reread those topics again.
I received letters of recommendation from two science professors and a language professor. I was close with one of the science professors, having taken three of his classes and visiting him frequently during office hours. The other was the PI of the lab that I worked in and he taught one of my classes. They were packaged in a committee letter from my school. Part of the reason why I applied after I graduated was because I didn't start the process for the committee letter on time. Don't miss your deadlines. The other part was that I wanted to have more time to raise my grades (they stayed the same) and I wanted to spend more time on my activities since I was late in starting on them.

Like some others, I think that the personal statement is not as important as many people think it is, but know that if you're offered an interview, the school has read your entire application carefully. I was asked about something I mentioned offhand in my personal statement at two schools. Interviews are stressful but most of my interviewers were very nice and easy to talk to. I feel that these were more difficult than the interviews where they basically go through a checklist. I've only had two stress interviews, although I didn't realize it until after the fact. If I had to apply again, I would rewrite my extracurricular activity descriptions because I was very factual and didn't really do the description style which might have been better. I would have also done some mock interviews to practice. This may seem obvious, but thinking up answers and talking to yourself is very different from talking to another person, especially in a stressful situation. I also wish that I talked up my experiences and my motivation for medical school. I figured that I included everything in my application and tried to include new things when I should have just rehashed everything I wrote and embellished my answers.
At the beginning of my application season, my top choices were Mount Sinai and Stony Brook. Since I was accepted from a waitlist, it was a long year but I'm grateful to have gotten in on my first try. There are many more applicants than seats at medical school, so don't feel too discouraged if you don't make it in. When there are hundreds of people vying for each spot, chances are slim. I know a few people who didn't get any interviews their first time around but made it into a great school their second or third time so don't give up.
During this year, I spent a lot of time poring over internet forums and camping on my email, hoping to hear from schools. So feel free to send me a message on sdn if you have any questions because I know how nice it is to be able to talk to someone with firsthand experience of what you are going through. Good luck!

I have only been gluten-free for about 3 months and just recently I started having problems with my eyes. I would wake up in the morning with them crusted shut and they were extremely dry and red in my eye and the skin underneath. I visited a dermatologist who gave me cream to take the redness away but it came right back. I decided to look into this myself and figured I would check the ingredients of my shampoo. Well, to my surprise I found out that all of the shampoo I had been using forever had Hydrolyzed Wheat Protein in it!!! It never affected me until after I went gluten-free. So, this is just a warning to everyone to check the ingredients of your shampoos and conditioners!!!

Hi, Kenny. This is Channy Yun, an invited expert of HTML W/G. I wasn't familiar with CSS3 specification, but I gave some feedback with Mr. Oli about <ruby> of HTML. http://html5doctor.com/ruby-rt-rp-element/ 1. CSS vertical Actually it has disappeared the Korean vertical typesetting since 1999. Now there are only type setting from left to right in Korea. So I think Korea is exceptional case from CJK. 2. CSS List In spacing words in Korean numbers, 서른 둘 is wrong, but 서른둘 is right. It's right of spacing by 만(萬, 10,000) scale. For examle, 10,001 is 일만 일 (O), 일만일(X) and 9999 is 구천구백구십구(O) and 구천 구백 구십 구(X). So, CSS List is only for 100 and in case of 99, 구십구 is right.

Picture this: You're a legislative staffer or social media director at one of the Pennsylvania Democratic candidates' campaigns, and your boss is taking part in a debate right now.
As s/he does this, you're supposed to highlight your boss' key points, tweeting them out to the world at large, corresponding with and re-tweeting journalists who've written things that make your boss sound awesome. Promote your candidate, make them come off as positive as possible on the Internet after the debate is over. That's all you need to do.
But it's easier said than done. There's a wild card. Everyone's opponent's umbrella organization is on Twitter, too. And it's watching. It's following you, and it's been prepping and honing zingers all week. It's mean. It's angry. It's hilarious. It's trollish. And it's the Twitter feed for the Pennsylvania Republican Party.
When the Democrats vying for Gov. Corbett's position have debated this year, @PAGOP, the Pennsylvania GOP's social media moniker, has been at its battle station, verbally kicking each hopeful in the shins with typographical vitriol and sarcasm, even as the Democrats have landed jabs at each other. And even as I speak over email to a representative for this story, she can't help but take a few more swings at the Democrats to make her points about social media.
"As Republicans, we work hard to share our message of limited government and fiscal responsibility with as many voters as possible," says Megan Sweeney, communications director for the Pennsylvania Republican Party. "Twitter allows us to share our Republican message while holding Democrats accountable for their policies in a direct and immediate way."
She's not kidding. During a March 23 debate, for instance, @PAGOP didn't waste any time asking the candidates where they stood on the Affordable Care Act, also known as Obamacare.
"@AllysonSchwartz Are you proud of your vote for #Obamacare? #DTeam #PAGov," the @PAGOP Twitter feed blasted during that debate.
Obamacare in its current form, of course, is not popular among Pennsylvanians. Says Sweeney: "As the first candidate in the country to actually brag about her role in writing Obamacare, we felt it was important to note Pennsylvania's strong opposition to the bill."
Then, the feed attempted to get the candidates on record supporting or opposing one another's supposed, unpopular positions.
"@RobMcCordPA Do you think @WolfForPA's sales tax increase is fair? #DTeam #PAGOV," @PAGOP tweeted at 8:51pm on March 28.
"@McGintyForGov do you think its right for @WolfForPA to try to buy the election? #DTeam #PAGOV #PACD," it wondered.
Back when the Democratic primary field was crowded, the Pennsylvania Republican party came up with a pretty slick name for it: The "D-Team." That tag was sort of a take on The A-Team, meant to show the Democrats' ineptitude through examples of faults and photo collages of the candidates looking either clumsy or angry, captured in shots in which they were either not ready to be photographed or were unaware they were being photographed.
This is what you have to deal with. Over the course of the hour in which you're promoting your boss, @PAGOP would ask similar passive-aggressive questions to the other candidates' Twitter feeds. According to Sweeney, this is both a job and natural progression of their online work.
"From PA Democratic Party Chairman Jim Burn saying there was no super secret candidate running for governor, to the PA Democrats' refusing to endorse any candidate in the race, it became apparent that even the Democrats thought they had a lackluster group of candidates," she says. "We decided to create dteam2014.com as a resource for voters to learn the facts about these uninspiring group of candidates."
At one point during the debate, the @PAGOP account posts a photo of Tom Wolf and Allyson Schwartz—Wolf is looking away from the camera with his eyes halfway closed; Schwartz is making an accidentally-funny face—with "I [HEART] Obamacare" written between them.
As the candidates generally agreed during this forum that more state money needs to be put in education, @PAGOP tweets at each pol with the hashtag #NewMath, claiming, "Fact Check: @GovernorCorbett has made record investment in state education spending ..." which is actually true, in pure numbers, but not total funds, state dollar percentage or spending per pupil.
During other debates, @PAGOP asked Rob McCord if his staff planned to "physically grab" anyone on stage that night. That's a reference to the Dems' February endorsement convention in Hershey, in which, among other things, McCord's and Schwartz's campaign staffers got into a clash, according to a censored column in the Philadelphia Daily News.
Later, @PAGOP would take on Wolf with the hashtag, #WhatsWolfHiding. During a pro-fracking rally in Harrisburg, the GOP asked the Democrats, "How many shale jobs would there be under your plan to BAN natural gas drilling?" And they've created a website titled HasWolfReleasedHisTaxReturnsYet.com. When you click on it, it reads, in large print, "Nope."
What sort of sleaze does the GOP have up its sleeve for the general election? We've no idea. Just get your popcorn ready.
For more, follow @PhillyWeekly and @RandyLoBasso on Twitter.
As the Democratic campaigns for governor have unfolded, the dollars have spoken as loud as the speeches.

Thanks Everybody for your votes!
It's an honour to be here and to find my picture won the challenge!
Regarding the time our shots were taken - yeap, it's really interesting coincidence... maybe it just was a good week for photography. ;-)
Challenge has finished
This time we'll be focusing on a type of interior lighting that "struck"you. By its design, its effect, its grandeur.... This could be anywhere, at home (ie. as simple as candle light) or in a public place (see my example). As long as it's inside.
Good luck!

NONFICTION: The author's second memoir recalls his own coming out, and his brother's death from AIDS.
"The Tooth Fairy," by Clifford Chase
In 2006, Clifford Chase published his debut novel, "Winkie," which remains one of the more curious works of fiction inspired by the past decade's war on terror. Its setup is absurd — the titular hero is a teddy bear arrested under suspicion of nefarious acts — but Chase shaped it into a clever and thoughtful allegory, making the bear a symbol for broader insecurities about love, death, country and identity.
"The Tooth Fairy," Chase's second memoir, is a more intimate exploration of some of Winkie's themes, and although its style is different, it's an equally fascinating book. Writing mostly in brief, aphoristic sentences, Chase recalls his coming out, which was long and agonizingly suffused with denial; his older brother's death from AIDS; his struggle to care for his aging parents, and his efforts to balance a relationship with his writing career.
All of these experiences spark some amount of regret, but Chase writes about them with a cool, flat affect, filling the pages with mostly one-sentence paragraphs that ensure he doesn't devolve into complaints or pleas for the reader's sympathy. "John doesn't believe in the afterlife, but I do," goes one Twitter-ready sentence. "In the darkness in my room, roach-legs lightly skittering across the walls," goes another.
This memoir-as-cubist-portrait isn't as alienating as it might initially seem. Indeed, the strength of this strategy is that Chase capably combines these scraps of observation into a clear story while resisting the urge to rationalize and overexplain. In the process, he avoids writing the tidy tales of self-redemption that so many memoirs are. "[L]et the white space between these sentences stand for what couldn't be seen then; or what can't be remembered now; or my open fate," he writes. Mentions of that "white space" are a recurring motif in the book, a way to acknowledge the flimsiness of memory, or the way it shifts emphasis over time.
Sometimes Chase's approach is artful and dotted with bits of wry humor, as when he weaves his college-age obliviousness about his sexual identity with snippets of observations about a B-52s album. Generally, though, the tone is moodier. In the closing chapter, Chase finally confronts the diaries his brother wrote while he was dying. (Chase wrote his first memoir, 1999's "The Hurry-Up Song," without daring to open them.)
The diaries spark plenty of confusion in Chase, who then dives deep into what's said within his brother's omissions, his own white spaces. In working up the nerve to read and investigate, Chase recognizes that "AIDS becomes simply one aspect of his life." So many memoirs strive to simplify lives. The chief virtue of "The Tooth Fairy" is how well it complicates them.
