An international team of scientists in the University of Leicester's Department of Geology has found a solution to a research problem involving fossils right next door - in the University's Chemistry Department.
Many objects, including fossils, can reveal a huge amount of scientific information when studied using the high power magnification of electron microscopes, but in order to study tiny fossils or microscopic details of larger fossils in this way, palaeontologists routinely coat the fossils with an ultra-thin layer of gold. This obviously changes the way the fossil looks, and so it is often necessary to remove the gold after analysis, but this is difficult and expensive and uses dangerous chemicals like cyanide.
University of Leicester chemists are developing industrial electro-plating and polishing techniques using liquid salts called 'ionic liquids' which are safe, cheap and environmentally friendly. Scientists from the two departments got together to see whether a similar process could be used on fossils. The work was supported by the Natural Environment Research Council (NERC).
They found that ionic liquids can remove gold quickly and easily without damaging even tiny, delicate fossils. The liquids are safe to handle, can be simply disposed of and can even dissolve the gold without affecting the glue that holds the fossil specimen in place for analysis.
Professor Mark Purnell, from the Department of Geology, said: "There are many cases where collecting the evidence required for research affects fossils or other objects in ways that might be considered as somewhat destructive gold coating for electron microscopy falls into this category. Understandably, this creates problems for places like museums which have to balance the value of research on their collections against the risk that specimens will be affected. This approach to gold removal offers a new way of tackling this problem that is safe for both research

According to Dems who were on the call, Snyder told them he would "seriously" take into account their objections—which they took as a genuine indication of possible willingness, for now, to reconsider.Marcy Wheeler notes that, according to Sen. Carl Levin and Rep. Sander Levin, it seemed from the call that:
"The Governor listened, and he told us he would seriously consider our concerns," Senator Carl Levin said on a conference call with reporters. [...]
Dem Rep. Sander Levin told reporters that he pointedly informed the Governor that moving forward would guarantee "endless controversy and strife." Another Congressional Democrat on the call added that "this will be a hugely contentious issue for many years unless the Governor steps back from the brink." A third said he'd told the Governor that "this is one of the most important decisions he'll ever make."
Snyder doesn't understand how unions work. "The Governor in his statement [last week] said it incorrectly" Sandy said, when he suggested workers would lose their job if they didn't join a union. "And today I still don't think he understands." Sandy continued. Congressman Levin went on to remind that the principle that workers could not be forced to join a union has been enshrined since he and then-Governor George Romney negotiated collective bargaining law back in 1965.(That's a point Huffington Post's Amanda Terkel also got wrong.)
The question is this: Will congressional Democrats, President Obama, the Detroit Free Press, and a whole lot of angry union members and their supporters outweigh a few big Republican donors with Gov. Snyder?

This research has important implications for the average consumer, as well as for physicians. While hormones like estradiol are important for the adequate maintenance of body functioning, they may pose serious risks to a person's health if misused as supplements. This comes into play when people use alternative forms of hormones, such as natural plant derivatives, that may be harmful if used inappropriately.
For specialists dealing with hormonal treatments, this research underscores that they should be aware that several organs and body functions are affected when estradiol is prescribed and may cause or worsen metabolic diseases. Due to the number of organs and functions affected by fluctuating levels of estradiol, its use as a hormonal treatment for patients with delayed puberty, menopausal symptoms, osteoporosis and prostate cancer is a source of debate within the medical and research communities. Exploring the impact of such treatments as reported by Barros and Gustafsson is helpful for keeping these professionals abreast of new research and guidelines.

The true value of the Internet of Things (IoT) lies not just in the data, but through the services that protect the data, perform the analysis and present findings in a usable way. With many IoT elements rooted in traditional IT components, Big Data and IoT isn't just a play for enterprise. In fact, the IoT presents SMBs with the prospect of launching entirely new activities and exploring innovative areas. CompTIA research identifies several areas where IoT is expected to have the greatest impact.

Scott Jenson leads a project called The Physical Web within the Chrome team at Google. Project members are working to take the scalability and openness of the web and use it to talk to the exponentially exploding range of smart devices. Nearly every company today working on the IoT comes up with the same basic solution: use my server and you'll be fine. But if we really believe there will be trillions of these devices, that just can't scale. We need a system that is open a scalable and by using the URL as a basic building block, we open this up and get the same resilience that the web enjoys.

We are reaching the end of the beginning with WebRTC, and real systems using this technology have begun to appear. One challenge that faces every WebRTC deployment (in some form or another) is identity management. For example, if you have an existing service – possibly built on a variety of different PaaS/SaaS offerings – and you want to add real-time communications you are faced with a challenge relating to user management, authentication, authorization, and validation. Service providers will want to use their existing identities, but these will have credentials already that are (hopefully) i...

While great strides have been made relative to the video aspects of remote collaboration, audio technology has basically stagnated. Typically all audio is mixed to a single monaural stream and emanates from a single point, such as a speakerphone or a speaker associated with a video monitor.

The International Bank Note Society (IBNS) announces that its voting membership has selected the National Bank of Kazakhstan to receive its prestigious "Bank Note of the Year" Award for 2011. Facing stiff competition as always from almost 100 new banknotes released worldwide in 2011, the 10,000 Tenge denomination Kazakhstani note was followed in voting by the Canada 100 Dollar and Gibraltar 100 Pound currency bills.
Now in its 51st year, the IBNS has over 2000 members worldwide. As a nonprofit educational organization its objectives are to promote, stimulate and advance the study, collection and dissemination of information related to paper money. From all significantly newly designed and widely circulated banknotes released in 2011, the IBNS board of directors nominated notes from 12 different countries to place on the ballot. Nominees represented 5 continents and ranged from the fledgling country of South Sudan to the venerable Bank of England. Past "Bank Note of the Year" winners include Uganda (2010), Bermuda (2009), Samoa (2008), Scotland (2007), Comoros (2006), Faeroe Islands (2005) and Canada (2004).
The 2011 winning banknote was designed collaboratively by De La Rue of England and the National Bank. The Banknote Factory of the National Bank of Kazakhstan undertook the printing. The 10,000 Tenge bill has a face value of approximately 68 U.S. dollars or 53 euro or 42 British pounds at mid-May 2012 exchange rates. The note was released 4 July 2011 with a circulation of 30 million pieces to commemorate 20 years of Independence for the Republic of Kazakhstan. Slightly larger than either the 50 euro or U.S. dollar bills, its size is almost identical to the English 20 pound note.
The stunning design, predominantly in dark blue-violet features the "Kazak Eli" monument with flying birds in a vertical format on the face of the banknote. The horizontal format reverse side highlights the Presidential Palace in the new capital city of Astana and a map of the country. A full color image of this and other Kazakh banknotes can be viewed on the National Bank's website.
The IBNS is open to membership from interested persons in any country. Details concerning all IBNS activities are available at www.theibns.org.

I have oily skin and I found the oil on my skin made the foundation go kind of bitsy throughout the day. It went on nicely but definitely didn't last in a way that would justify being called 'Pro Longwear Foundation'.
I have a friend that works at a MAC store and she said lots of girls with oily skin have the same experience with this foundation. Just wish I had known this before I bought it :(

I am madly in love with this foundation! I love all my foundations that I keep around though, so that really isnt saying much.
I use this shade in NC50, however or the winter I may need to purchase NC45 and mix a bit of it in to lighten it up a shade or two. For shade comparison, I am Caramel in both Revlon Colorstay Whipped and Maybelline SuperStay (very comparable finishes as well to MAC PLW), SB13 in Illamasqua Skinbase, N7 in MAC F&B, and 4 1/2 in Dermablend Cover Cream.
I love all foundations that can be blended into the skin to look like you have nothing on but perfect skin...this foundation is another product that can achieve that look when applied correctly. For this...I normally apply to the back of my hand, and I use a flat top foundation brush to apply and blend into my skin. I have also tried with normal foundation brushes and beauty blenders and I do not like the finish, and I also found that it made my skin appear blotchy. For me...this product dries to a powder/satin finish.
I cannot say enough good things about this foundation, the wear time is amazing, 12+ hours with no moving, I have worked out in it, sweat in it, played in a pool in it...and it always stood up to the challenge. It has not caused me to break out...however, because this is my favorite foundation, I do not use this everyday, I only use it for special occasions or when going out...Ive also slept in it with no issues. I have oil skin by the way.
I also love the packaging, you can take the top off when you are down to your last bit...but there is a pump that has a lock, which is amazing. I also like that only a tiny bit can come out at a time, half a pump is good enough for my entire face.
I recommend this to all oily women with my skin color, you will not be disappointed.

I thought I loved everything about this product the medium coverage, the fact that it is buildable, the amazing all day staying power and also that it just glides over dry patches. The finish on this foundation is also very natural looking not matte or satin. HOWEVER, it wasn't until the next day when I woke up with the around 5 or 6 spots on my cheek! I've never gotten spots on my cheek until using this and never broken out from a product before using this. It's the WORST foundation I have ever tried and I had such high hopes for it.

hmmm im so-so about this product. I read some reviews and i agree, its the finish that doesn't have that wow factor. you don't have the glow, but your not completely matte either. nor its a dewy finish, it just looks like natural dull flawless skin. doesn't give your face dimension, a halo glow, or healthy look. it stays on which is the only thing perfect, like matte paint lol. i think its good if your really oily, by the end of the working day i now have a slight dewy face, usually im oil slick by lunch time. in the morning it does look abit fresher, but by end of the day its still there, but theres something about the finish thats not beautiful! foundation should enhance your skin, but this doesnt, this is good for photos, i think and you defo have to use other makeup such as blusher, highlighter to vamp up the look. im using this for a party because of its staying power, but it would not be my everyday foundation simple because its medium coverage but with no glow!

I have combination-oily and blemished skin and wanted to try this foundation out because I had heard people saying it is longwearing. To be honest, the fact that I didnt like this as much as I thought was not only the foundations fault, I got matched by a trainee and she ended up matching me one shade too light (normally I'm NC20-NC25). It is _very_ longwearing even on my oily t-zone but at the same time, it made the area around my pimples look very dry and flaky. The pro-longwear is also harder to blend than the other mac foundations I've tried. I'll stay with my studio fix fluid

Bloody awful stuff goes on thick & you've got seconds to work it in before it dries into a chalky mess not to mention the colours are just a total mess I'm normally a nc25 but that made me look seriously orange just way to dark. so They suggested i tried an n18 that was just as bad! If you have fair skin do not touch these foundations with a barge poll unless you want to be an extra on towie! It does stay on which is also unfortunate as its just Horrible horrible stuff, also it settles into any fine lines you might have and makes them look 1000% worse, so disappointed :( will stick to nars in future they never let me down

This foundation is pretty much a godsend for oily skinned people out there. It goes on like a liquid and quickly dries and plasters itself onto your face for hours. This has been the only foundation so far that prevents my face from looking like an oil slick halfway through my work day. Eventually it will let oil shine through, but I am a one application woman and for my needs it totally exceeds my expectations.
The only con is that you really need to work quick with it, and probably apply with a foundation or stipple brush so that you get even coverage. I use NW20/NW25. My skin is medium with yellow, peach, and olive undertones and this worked better for me than the NC shades.
The coverage can get to full also. I have freckles and when I wear this foundation they are well covered.

Bought this the other day, and while it looked great under indoor lights, today I am wearing it for the first time in my office (which has a window), pulled out my mirror to check my makeup and my face looks ORANGE! Many other reviewers have commented on this and I will be taking it back. On the plus side, it is more comfortable feeling than many other full coverage make-ups I have used. Am very disappointed in the "orange" problem because it feels good on, as if you are wearing a light coverage rather than full coverage makeup.

I have worn revelon for years and just felt I needed better coverage and longer lasting makeup (one that looked good at 9am and 9pm!) and I found that in the Mac long lasting foundation. I have worn it about 3 weeks now. I had the lady match my color and feel like it is a true match! I realize I will need lighter for winter and don't mind paying $35+ for it since it goes on so great and lasts so great! I work out at night and come home after a workout and still think I could dab a little powder on and go to the store without being embarrassed that my make up is oily or off! I have moderate melasma (treating with Obagi) and this foundation covers so great! Won't wear anything else from now on. Totally satisfied!

The Reds took advantage of the home run benefit of the park, 3rd in the league. And I can understand the point that singles hitters may not be helped by GABP.
But if GABP is "doubles neutral" then the Reds hitters, 13th in the league in that department, were deficient in that department.
When you consider that overall the Reds did poorly in hits and runs in 2006; and consider that they took advantage of GABP's home run propensity; and further consider that the park is a poor place to "go for singles" (and triples); then where should the improvement come?
I would have thought the park would suppress doubles. If it is, in fact, neutral, then that is a statistic in which the Reds need to improve next year.

Toll Brothers new community of Bonita Lakes environmentally friendly
Toll Brothers spent months planning its newest community, Bonita Lakes, to assure that it would surpass buyers' expectations in a setting reminiscent of Old Florida gardens.
"Our goal was to create a luxurious community that is environmentally compatible with the natural Florida landscape," said Ken Thirtyacre, president of Toll Brothers' Florida West Division. "We've spent a great deal of time and effort to ensure that Bonita Lakes exceeds the city requirements for landscaping."
When completed, Bonita Lakes will include 268 homes on approximately 120 acres. Seven lakes within the community will occupy more than 20 acres, and more than seven acres have been set aside as preserves. Landscaping around the lakes offers the natural vegetation found in Florida's thriving freshwater habitats, with abundant plantings of red maple, bald cypress, duck potato, spike rush, pickerel grass, and sand cordgrass.
"We will be adding a variety of native and compatible trees and plants to create a natural scenic environment," Thirtyacre said.
During the planning and permitting process, Toll Brothers worked with Grady Minor, a civil engineering and land planning firm; the South Florida Water Management District; Bonita Springs Utilities; the City of Bonita Springs; Lee County Department of Transportation; and the Florida Department of Transportation.
In planning for Bonita Lakes, the challenge was to keep preserve areas on the north and west sides of the community, to provide the lake areas with lakefront homesites, and to create a buffer from the road, according to Richard Ibach, Grady Minor project manager. Doing all of the land development work at once as well as installing the perimeter wall and landscaping minimizes the impact on existing properties and readies the community for its future residents.
"Bonita city officials and planners were very supportive throughout the process," Thirtyacre said. "Our goal has been to create a community that is sensitive to Florida's beautiful natural environment and provides a tropical and serene retreat for our residents."
Ibach said that Toll Brothers exceeded that goal.
Plans call for planting 129 green buttonwood, 91 live oaks, 37 Medjool palms, 94 royal palms, and 57 pine trees as well as 220 sabal palms on the entry road and the front of the community.
"There will be many more trees and flowering shrubs added to individual home sites, common areas, and the community clubhouse to further enhance the beauty of the streetscape," Thirtyacre said.
Bonita Lakes offers 11 single- and two-story home designs ranging from 2,058 to 4,354 square feet of air-conditioned living space, with 10 of the designs featuring a first-floor master suite.
Each Toll Brothers home design has four elevation options and a choice of two- or three-car garages as well as an extensive list of luxury features included with each home. Structural and design options are available to provide homebuyers the opportunity to personalize their home. Prices range from the low-$300,000s to the $500,000s.
To reach Bonita Lakes from the south on Interstate 75, take Exit 116, Bonita Beach Road west. Go 0.7 miles to Imperial Parkway and turn right. Continue 3.7 miles and the entrance to Bonita Lakes is on the left. From the north take I-75 south to Exit 123, Corkscrew Road west. Continue approximately 0.4 miles to Three Oaks Parkway. Turn left and continue 4.2 miles. The entrance is on the right.

Beautifully packaged by Nature, coconut is a wonder food indeed. In Southern India, coconut is routinely picked off trees and used for preparing some exquisite dishes, the most popular among them being coconut chutney, best enjoyed with rice pancakes.
But here's one of my favorite ways to cook with coconuts. To me, few dishes rival fresh coconut meat paired with good quality basmati rice and served piping hot. This is truly a delicacy, which you can cook easily and quickly. Do try it at home:
Coconut Rice
- 1 cup basmati rice
- 1 tsp ghee + 1 tsp vegetable oil
- 1 cinnamon stick
- 1 cardamom pod, crushed, skin discarded
- 1 cup coconut meat, grated
- Salt to your taste
- 2 cups water
1. Heat the ghee and the oil together in a pan.
2. Add the cinnamon stick and crushed cardamom seeds; let sizzle for a few seconds.
3. Put in the grated coconut, and stir thoroughly.
4. Cook on low heat until the coconut begins to brown and gives off a delicate aroma.
5. In another pan, cook the rice and water together. When the water comes to a boil, lower the flame, cover the pan, and cook until the rice is soft and done.
6. Gently mix the cooked coconut with the rice while it's still warm, and enjoy it either on its own or with a spicy stew/lentils.

Crews have been working to relocate the endangered Columbian white-tailed deer from the Julia Butler Reserve. A dike built in the 1920s is eroding and the area may soon flood daily.
Dear friends,
Way too often I hear and read blatantly false statements about climate change, namely that it doesn't exist. It's very frustrating — and it makes me want to fight back and make sure we all hear the truth.
There's a new online tool called Reality Drop from The Climate Reality Project, along with Arnold Worldwide, built to spread the truth and destroy denial around climate change. This is the REAL information from scientists' decades of research, not government or corporations. Give it a try.
Visit Reality Drop and get started!
There are two things I'm passionate about: my music and nature. Therefore, I'm passionate we get it right about climate change so we may continue to enjoy music and our precious environment. Reality Drop is a way to respond to those who deny climate change and make sure our friends have access to the truth — and have fun while we're at it.

I was arrested, along with Sierra Club president Allison Chin and almost 50 other environmental leaders, activists, poets, ministers, farmers and scientists. The one thing we all shared was a conviction: President Obama must act to protect our climate and that means saying "no" to the Keystone XL tar-sands pipeline.
We have the momentum and we are gaining ground, but we cannot win the fight against climate disruption without your voice!
That is why I am asking you to stand with us by making a gift today.
In just the next few weeks we will launch major pushes to fight for a Coal-Free New England, combat the export of Liquid Natural Gas, and press for the declaration of some of the largest wilderness preserves in over a decade. But we need your help to make it all possible.
Big Oil, Big Coal, and all the other polluters who would trade a buck for our world's future are powerful foes. But we can beat them, we must.
The tide of public opinion on climate change has shifted decisively. We have a clear understanding of the crisis. We have solutions. What we don't have is time. We cannot afford to wait.

"I saw both the devastation caused by AIDS and the importance of the family in caring for the elderly. This project was a way to combine the two observations," said Kautz, a former Stanford undergraduate now pursuing a PhD in economics at the University of Chicago.
The researchers used data from the Demographic and Health Survey, a USAID-funded database that provides standardized information on maternal/child health, HIV and other health indicators in low- and middle-income countries. The survey covered 123,000 individuals over age 60 living in 22 African countries between 1991 and 2006.
The scientists found a very strong correlation between the rise in AIDS death rates in these countries and an increase in elderly individuals living alone. For every one-point increase in AIDS mortality rates, they found a 1.5 percent increase in elderly people left to manage on their own.
In the 22 countries, the estimates translated into 582,200 to 917,000 elderly people left unattended, the researchers found. About a third of them or as many as 323,000 were also caring for young children. These individuals were more likely to be women, uneducated, living in rural areas and poorer than their attended counterparts. The results suggest HIV/AIDS has had a disproportionate impact on elderly people of lower socioeconomic status, the researchers reported.
Kautz said he was surprised the figures weren't even higher. He said he believes there are many more older individuals who have been left alone as their children die of AIDS, but that these elders have moved in with relatives or neighbors. These individuals would not be accounted for in the study, he said.
Although HIV has generally reduced life expectancies in Africa, those who escape the epidemic are living much longer as a result of greater access to health technologies, the researchers said. So there is an increased need for el

PRLog - Dec. 20, 2012 - LONDON -- Magnetic field penetrates through the skin into the body cells and improves oxygen utilisation of the tissues. Furthermore, magnets placed on a part of the body can improve blood circulation. This can be very important in the healing and regeneration process.
Auris Magnetic Eye Mask
Since aging can slow down blood circulation, your skin can look dull and unhealthy. To increase blood flow and to reduce eye fatigue and strain, Auris suggests wearing the Juvelys® magnetic eye mask.
The neodymium magnets placed in the eye mask can also help reduce wrinkles, puffiness and dark aging lines. The Juvelys® eye mask fits perfectly to the contour of the eyes. The mask can be worn while being active, reading, watching TV or even while sleeping.
Have a young look !

Now that Robert Pattinson is a free man he can have ANY WOMAN HE WANTS! While Rob doesn't seem to have moved on with a new girl post Kristen Stewart, he has been plagued with all sorts of dating rumors.
Let's take a look at all the women he's supposedly been dating/hugging/flirting/driving in cars with/etc.
Katy Perry: Though this rumored pairing was shot down ages ago, Katy was the first non-Kristen female he stepped out with post-breakup. Unfortunately, Katy was just a shoulder to cry on and nothing more.
Riley Keough: Rob was spotted driving around LA with actress Riley Keough ONCE and then the tabloids all came forward with "sources" who claimed they were an item. Her rep shot down the rumors shortly after and she was never heard from again.
Sia: Rob walked out of the Beyoncé concert with singer Sia and of course, the headlines all read, "Rob cozies up to singer Sia." The photo looked pretty platonic and also Sia is gay. So…
Sarah Gadon: Sarah starred in Cosmopolis with Rob and they just finished filming Maps to the Stars. Even though there aren't any new photos of the two together or anything, they reportedly are "flirting" a lot! "When Rob and Sarah are on set, they hang out in each other's trailers and sometimes she sits in his lap," says OK! Magazine.
Caitlin Cronenberg: Caitlin is David Cronenberg's (Maps to the Stars director) daughter. Because Rob was spotted giving her a hug and a friendly kiss on the cheek, of course, it was assumed that they are hooking up.

South Carolina Operation Military Kids (OMK) is part of the national OMK initiative designated to provide support to the children and youth of families that are impacted by global contingency operations. This includes those served by Army installations, Air Force, Navy, and Marine bases, and those families, children, and youth who are geographically dispersed.
Building upon their past collaboration to support youth development programs, 4-H and its military partners are now placing special emphasis on the children and youth of National Guard and Reserve Solders.
Many National Guard and Reserves children do not view themselves as 'military' until their parent's deployment. Their parent has a civilian job and is a citizen soldier with a commitment to the military and our country. The situation created by a deployment places unique stress on the youth and their families.
Working together we can all have a strong impact on military families in our own backyard by:
- Creating community support networks for military youth "in our own backyard" when military parents are deployed.
- Promoting awareness of the public on the impact of the deployment cycle on military, families, kids and the community as a whole.
- Supporting military kids coping with the stress of knowing their deployed parents may be in harms way.
- Collaborating with schools to ensure that staff is attuned to the unique needs of military students.
- Delivering educational, recreational and social programs for military youth living in civilian communities. Becomes a part of the ongoing deployment support services for military children and youth.
- Building community capacity to support geographically dispersed military families and children.
