The staggering figures around the litter collected during last year's Shoreline Cleanup, and the past 20 years, not only reflects the effective work of this program to date, but also the dire need that still exists for even more participants to join this year's cleanup efforts. Until we effectively eradicate the need for our campaign to exist, there is still much work to do. For example:
• During last year's cleanup, more than 57,000 Canadians cleaned over 3,100 kilometers of shoreline (the approximate distance between Vancouver, B.C. and Thunder Bay, O.N., or 75.5 marathons)
• Last year, more than 136,000 kilograms of litter (the approximate weight of 30 large school buses) was picked up on our shorelines
• During our 20-year history, approximately 1.2 million kilograms of shoreline litter – the approximate weight of 259 school buses – has been collected
• More statistics and information on Shoreline Cleanup, and full media kit, can be found on our website here
Registration for this fall's cleanup is easy; participants can sign up simply by visiting ShorelineCleanup.ca.
Weight of litter removed- 136,036 kg
Distance of shoreline cleaned- 3,102 km
Top 5 Litter Items
1. Cigarettes/Cigarette Filters 416,955
2. Food Wrappers 98,835
3. Plastic Bags 69,790
4. Caps and Lids 69,725
5. Plastic Beverage Bottles 38,202
Trash bags filled 12,895
Recycling bags filled 3,639
Tom and Kathleen Kjaersgaard
When we (an Ontario couple) both raised sailing on the Great Lakes and Lake Simcoe, decided to pack up and move our lives and careers to Cochrane, Alberta (minutes West of Calgary) in 2013, our rationalization banter went a bit like this:
"OK, considering that it's Alberta…not a boating paradise… let's just embrace the change. Sell the boat (our much loved Olson 25) and then we'll just move-on and pursue other hobbies. How about golfing more maybe? We've pretty much ignored golf for the last 15 years right? So we agree - we'll replace the boating with golfing and who knows what other Alberta adventures on the weekends."
Boat Reviews
David Schmidt
As a semi-recent transplant to the Pacific Northwest from New England's historic waters, I was thrilled to learn that the boating season here in Seattle is much longer than it is back East, provided, of course, that your boat is up to the task. While our summer months here at 48 degrees north are characterized by massive high-pressure systems that park-up over the Olympic Peninsula and Vancouver Island, delivering bluebird days that are void of any real breeze, our fall, winter and spring months offer plenty of pressure...

IED Numbers
9:55 AM, Jan 22, 2007 • By MICHAEL GOLDFARB
There's an excellent article in Salon today on the IED problem in Iraq. With the aid of a source at the Pentagon's Joint IED Defeat Task Force, Robert Bryce does an excellent job of capturing the scope of the problem--from the history of the devices, to the Pentagon's inept attempts at finding a technological solution, and finally to Iran's role in providing the insurgency with more lethal IEDs.
In May of last year, I was contacted by an officer serving in a counter-IED role with Multi-National Force-Iraq. He painted a similar picture of a military command that had thrown billions of dollars at the problem with little to show for it. My source emphasized the need for a tactical, rather than technological, solution, but his point was the same--were it not for the Pentagon's inability to counter the IED, U.S. casualties in Iraq would be far more tolerable, and the insurgents would be without any real means of attacking U.S. forces.
Below is a chart from Bryce's piece illustrating the devastating impact the IED has had on American forces. Bryce's source recommends the use of aerial surveillance to target insurgents setting the devices. The military is also sending more mine resistant vehicles and going after the Iranian networks that arm the insurgents.

Disney in Talks to Pick Up Children's Novel 'The One and Only Ivan' (Exclusive)
The book was written by Katherine Applegate, who also created the late 1990s book series "Animorphs."
Disney is in negotiations to acquire the screen rights to The One and Only Ivan, a Newbery Medal-winning book written by Katherine Applegate and illustrated by Patricia Castelao.
Allison Shearmur, who is one of the producers on Disney's live-action take on Cinderella, is on board to produce the adaptation.
PHOTOS: The Making of Disney's Animated Oscar Contender 'Frozen'
Published by HarperCollins in 2011, the book centers on a silverback gorilla named Ivan who lives in a cage in a shopping mall along with an elephant named Stella and a stray dog called Bob. Ivan does not remember life before the mall, but when a baby elephant enters and Ivan finds himself taking care of her, he begins to rediscover his previous life and concocts a plan to take the baby elephant away from their abusive owner.
Applegate, who also created the late 1990s book series Animorphs with her husband, Michael Grant, based the story on a real-life gorilla named Ivan who spent 27 years in a Washington mall before being transferred to the Atlanta Zoo.
The book has spent 60 consecutive weeks (and counting) on the New York Times best-seller list and has won several awards.
A search for a writer is underway to pen the script for what is intended to be a live-action movie.
Applegate is repped by Jason Dravis of the Monteiro Rose Dravis Agency. Dravis also reps Hunger Games author Suzanne Collins and originally met Shearmur when he was setting up Collins' book at Lionsgate. Shearmur was Lionsgate's president of production at the time.
Stephen Meinen, VP of Allison Shearmur Productions, will work on the project with Shearmur.

VIEWS: 10 PAGES: 6 CATEGORY: Synthetic Resins Or Natural Rubbers POSTED ON: 6/21/2010 Public Domain
The present invention relates generally to medical technology and to methods of tissue adhesion. Specifically the invention relates to adhesive formulations for use with living tissue and to a process for bonding eyelid tissue for the purposesof blepharoplasty.BACKGROUND ARTOurs is a society very concerned with image. Personal appearance is a major concern to nearly everyone. It is of sufficient import to many people that they choose to alter their appearance through cosmetic surgery.Cosmetic surgery can be used both to modify a person's natural attribute and to battle the aging process. "Face lifts" and "eye lifts" are relatively common procedures in this field. The procedure this invention is chiefly concerned with is theeye lift, more properly termed blepharoplasty.Blepharoplasty is the procedure used to eliminate ptosis, or droop of the upper eyelid. This is generally required when, as a person ages, the skin in the vicinity of the eyelid loses elasticity and begins to sag. The condition can have othercauses, but aging is the main culprit.Currently, blepharoplasty is performed by surgically removing a wedge of tissue from the mid-region of the eyelid, then stitching the exposed edges together. This process obviously entails trauma to the eyelid, enough so that a two to four weekhealing process is required. Naturally, one would like to be able to reduce or eliminate the healing time required. In order to accomplish this, another method of contracting the eyelid must be used.One alternate method is bonding epidermal tissue through the use of adhesives. One consideration inherent in the use of tissue adhesives would be the possibility of toxicity problems. Research indicates that this is not an insurmountableproblem for some adhesives, including medical adhesives used for other purposes. Additionally, the problem may be solvable by the use of some cyanoacrylates. See, e.g., "Synthesis and Bioevaluation of a Rapidly Biodegradable Tissue Adhesive: 1, 2
United States Patent: 5214093 ( 1 of 1 ) United States Patent 5,214,093 Nell , et al. May 25, 1993 Adhesive formulation for nonsurgical blepheroplasty Abstract A method of performing a nonsurgical blepheroplasty is provided which involves adhering opposing eyelid surfaces together to arrest ptosis or eyelid droop. Specific adhesive compositions are provided to permit oxygen permeability, long-lasting adherence and to be non-toxic with respect to the tissues involved. The adhesive is a mixture including an adhesive component, a thermoplastic elastomer component and a solvent component, with a midblock tackifier being an optional ingredient.

Description TECHNICAL FIELD The present invention relates generally to medical technology and to methods of tissue adhesion. Specifically the invention relates to adhesive formulations for use with living tissue and to a process for bonding eyelid tissue for the purposes of blepharoplasty. BACKGROUND ART Ours is a society very concerned with image. Personal appearance is a major concern to nearly everyone. It is of sufficient import to many people that they choose to alter their appearance through cosmetic surgery. Cosmetic surgery can be used both to modify a person's natural attribute and to battle the aging process. "Face lifts" and "eye lifts" are relatively common procedures in this field. The procedure this invention is chiefly concerned with is the eye lift, more properly termed blepharoplasty. Blepharoplasty is the procedure used to eliminate ptosis, or droop of the upper eyelid. This is generally required when, as a person ages, the skin in the vicinity of the eyelid loses elasticity and begins to sag. The condition can have other causes, but aging is the main culprit. Currently, blepharoplasty is performed by surgically removing a wedge of tissue from the mid-region of the eyelid, then stitching the exposed edges together. This process obviously entails trauma to the eyelid, enough so that a two to four week healing process is required. Naturally, one would like to be able to reduce or eliminate the healing time required. In order to accomplish this, another method of contracting the eyelid must be used. One alternate method is bonding epidermal tissue through the use of adhesives. One consideration inherent in the use of tissue adhesives would be the possibility of toxicity problems. Research indicates that this is not an insurmountable problem for some adhesives, including medical adhesives used for other purposes. Additionally, the problem may be solvable by the use of some cyanoacrylates. See, e.g., "Synthesis and Bioevaluation of a Rapidly Biodegradable Tissue Adhesive: 1, 2 - Isopropylidene Glyceryl 2 - Cyanoacrylate", Jaffe, et al., Journal of Biomedical Materials Research, vol. 20, pp. 213-217 (1986). It has also been shown that adhesive material can be used to effect a bond of the eyelid tissue. Harold D. Clavin, M.D., in his article "Nonsurgical Upper Blepharoplasty", Plastic Reconstructive Surgery, November, 1985, 76(5), pp. 784-787, disclosed a method using double sided tape and an applicator. In the Clavin method, a fold in the upper eyelid is secured by a segment of tape of appropriate size and shape. Originally, the Clavin method had been intended only to give prospective patients an idea of the results obtainable through surgical blepharoplasty. The idea was met with such enthusiasm that the tape is now being used as a temporary cosmetic enhancement. One drawback to the Clavin method is that its effect may be very short lived. The longest wearing time disclosed in Clavin's article is seven days. Patients desiring a more permanent effect are forced to undergo surgical blepharoplasty. There are currently no intermediate choices available. In view of this situation, it can be seen that there exists a need for a semi-permanent form of non-surgical blepharoplasty. DISCLOSURE OF THE INVENTION Accordingly, it is an object of the present invention to provide a method of relieving ptosis without the use of surgery, i.e. non-surgical blepharoplasty. It is a further object of the present invention to provide a method that is semi-permanent in nature. It is another object of the present invention to provide a method of blepharoplasty that can be performed easily in an office visit, or potentially by the patient personally at home. Briefly, the present invention is a method of nonsurgical blepharoplasty. The procedure involves simply taking a tuck in the eyelid, preparing the skin surface to be clean and dry, and securing the truck with adhesive mixture. The adhesive mixture must be selected to allow oxygen permeability. Since most adhesives do not allow oxygen transmission, the base adhesive component is an oxygen permeable polysiloxane (adhesive component) to insure that the eyelid tissue will receive oxygen. In the preferred embodiment, the adhesive mixture also includes a solvent which prevents the adhesive component from bonding permaturely. A proper ratio of the components must be maintained to provide the properties desired from the mixture. A balance must be struck between the desire for permanence of the bond and the need for the tissue of the eyelid to receive oxygen. Additional adhesive can be obtained with the use of tackifiers such as those of the polyterpene variety. The mixture is also adapted to be formulated and then dried so as to be relatively free of solvent and in solid form for some uses. The solvent is then reapplied at the time of usage to reconstitute (at least partially) the overall mixture. The preferred embodiment and the first alternate preferred embodiment utilize a medical grade silicone adhesive as the gas permeable component together with a thermoplastic elastomer to improve skin adhesion, and one or more organic solvents as the solvent component. The specific adhesive mixture of the preferred embodiments provides breathable long-term (believed to be up to six months) bonding of the eyelid tissues. A second alternative embodiment, which may also be acceptable but may be less suitable since the chemical components pose a greater hazard, is an adhesive mixture based on the cyanoacrylate family of adhesives. In the alternate embodiment of the adhesive mixture, a cyanoacrylate adhesive component is mixed with two separate silicon oil components which provide both lubrication and breathability to the skin surfaces. The cyanoacrylate does not require a separate solvent component, and the silicon oils provide both the gas permeability component and skin lubricants. In practice, a neutralizer will be provided with the adhesive mixtures of the present invention so that the mixture can be removed if desired. For the preferred embodiment and the first alternate embodiment the neutralizer is the same as the solvent while the alternate embodiment utilizes a cyanoacrylate-specific neutralizer. This can become necessary if a mistake is made, or if the patient/user is not happy with the results achieved. Since the mixture is a low cost item, the procedure can be repeated until the patient/user is completely satisfied with the results. An advantage of the present invention is that the patient can obtain the benefits of the blepharoplasty procedure without the normally attendant healing time. Another advantage of the present invention is that it is very inexpensive, particularly relative to standard blepharoplasty. A further advantage of the present invention is that since it is so simple and inexpensive, it can be repeated as often as the patient desires. These and other objects and advantages of the present invention will become clear to those skilled in the art in view of the description of the best presently known mode of carrying out the invention and the industrial applicability of the preferred embodiment as described herein. BEST MODE OF CARRYING OUT THE INVENTION The present invention relates to a group of tissue-bonding adhesives and specifically to the use of a tissue-bonding adhesive in a method for performing a nonsurgical blepharoplasty. The blepharoplasty procedure involves the tucking of folds of skin in the eyelid together in order to prevent ptosis or "dropping eyelid". The nonsurgical blepharoplasty is utilized as an alternative to surgically removing tissue, with the accompanying trauma and other disadvantages. The method of performing a nonsurgical blepharoplasty involves the determination by competent medical personnel that a blepharoplasty is called for in a particular patient. If the eyelid droop problem is occurring and the degree of the problem is not so great as to mandate a surgical procedure, then it may be determined that the nonsurgical blepharoplasty of the present invention may be appropriate. In the method of the present invention, the practitioner will select the particular portions of the eyelid which are to be bonded together in order to accomplish the appropriate degree of tucking of tissue so as to eliminate the droop. Once the opposing surfaces to be bonded together have been selected, they are prepared such that they are clean and dry and suitable for adhesive bonding. The practitioner then performs the step of applying a specialized adhesive mixture to one or both of the prepared surfaces and then causes the surfaces to come into contact, through the adhesive. Once the contact has been physically maintained by the practitioner, either through tissue clamping or by direct holding by the practitioner, for a length of time sufficient to allow the adhesive to dry and form a firm bond, the process is effectively complete. An alternate application method utilizes a "dry" form of adhesive. In this alternate method the adhesive is prepared and is then applied to a carrier surface. A preferred carrier surface is a release paper selected to be pliable, nontoxic and relatively nonabsorbent. The adhesive solvent is then evaporated to leave a dry residue on the release paper. This permits stable storage. The adhesive is then reactivated at the time of use. It is preferable that the carrier material be coated with adhesive residue on both sides and then cut into appropriately sized and shaped pieces to match the areas of tissue to be bonded. The practitioner then reactivates the adhesive by applying a quantity of a solvent, such as by swabbing the carrier surfaces, or the tissue areas, or both, and applies the carrier material to the tissue surfaces. The tissue is then held in place, as by clamping, for a sufficient interval for complete bonding. The carrier material remains in place for the life of the bond, usually three to six months. The adhesive mixture of the present invention is a very significant component in the success of the blepharoplasty procedure. Only an adhesive which (1) is nontoxic to the skin surfaces, (2) allows gas permeability so that oxygen may reach the skin surfaces and the tucked skin, and (3) may be removed without damage to the surrounding tissue, is acceptable for such a purpose. For the above reasons, the preferred adhesive mixture to be utilized include an adhesive component for actually bonding the surfaces together, a component which provides gas permeability (congruent in the preferred embodiment), a thermoplastic elastomer to enhance skin adhesion and to provide lubrication to the skin surfaces, and a solvent component for keeping the adhesive from prematurely bonding the surfaces before the practitioner has had an opportunity to make adjustments, and also to aid the adhesive mixture in maintaining its potency during storage, and an antioxidant to prevent degradation and discoloration. In the preferred embodiment, and also in the first alternate embodiment, the adhesive component is a commercially available chemical known as Dow-Corning DC-355 Medical Adhesive. This is a polysiloxane type of adhesive and belongs to the silicone family of chemical compounds. Although the DC-355 Medical Adhesive has been found to be the most effective for the purposes of the present invention, other possible substitutes which might be utilized include the Dow Corning Products Bio-PSAQ7-2920, X 7-3027, X 7-2684 and X 7 2960. These adhesives are characterized by providing good oxygen permeability as well as adhesion. Although the discussion below and the charts illustrated refer to unitary item, it is understood that this is not necessarily a commercial reality. The values referred to herein actually apply to the solids component (active ingredients) of the adhesive. The DC-355 adhesive is available in solvent carriers but, at the present time, not in hydrocarbons such as cyclohexane. The common solvent present in the DC-355 commercially available is trichlorofluoroethane (TCE). Accordingly, prior to incorporation into the mixture, the solids in the DC-355 adhesive are extracted from the existing TCE carrier solvent. The extraction is preferably performed using heat to evaporate the TCE, which is undesirable in eye contact usages. The elastomer component of the preferred embodiment, which provides enhanced adhesion, is a thermoplastic elastomer of the styrene-isoprene-styrene type and is commercially available as Kraton 1102. Kraton 1102 is a formulation developed by Shell Chemical which is fully miscible with the cyclohexane modified DC-355 solution and provides a true solution, thus aiding in uniform application of the adhesive mixture to the skin surfaces. Although the Kraton 1102 formulation is the preferred elastomer component, other substitute elastomeric components which might be effective in an adhesive mixture include Kraton 1101; Kraton 1107 and Kraton 1111 which are styrene-butadiene-styrene polymers, all commercially available from the same sources as Kraton 1102. In the preferred embodiment, and the first alternate embodiment, the use of a solvent component is desirable to support the other components of the adhesive mixture during storage, transport and application and also to maintain the wetness of the adhesive mixture for a length of time sufficient to allow fine-tuning and adjustment of the skin fold placement during application. In the preferred embodiment, the selected solvent component is cyclohexane (C.sub.6 H.sub.12). The cyclohexane, which is a parafinnic hydrocarbon, is considered a safe chemical for external human use which provides an effective solvent for the adhesive component and the elastomeric component while being quick-drying such that it is not necessary to hold the surfaces in juxtaposition for an excessive length of time before the bonding effect of the adhesive component is sufficient to hold the position indefinitely. In addition to cyclohexane, other solvent components which might be effective include hexane, octane, decane and naphtha type solvents. Parafinnic hydrocarbon solvents, such as these listed above, are particularly useful in solutions of this nature. In the preferred embodiment the components are combined by dissolving the solids in the solvent. An impellor device or a double planetary mixer such as those manufactured by Charles Ross & Son Company, is effective for this step. The ratios set forth below relate to those found most effective for obtaining a true solution. The ratio of the components in the adhesive mixture is of significant importance to the effectiveness of the mixture. Although minor variations from the preferred ratios are permissible while retaining effectiveness, it is desirable to have the components present in an approximate weight ratio in order to achieve maximum effectiveness. The presently preferred weight ratio of the preferred components is listed below in Table A-1, while an alternate weight ratio for the first alternate embodiment is listed in Table A-2. TABLE A-1 ______________________________________ Weight Weight Component Weight Ratio Percentage in Batch ______________________________________ adhesive solids 1 19.2% 50.0 g Dow-Corning DC-355 Medical Adhesive elastomer 1 19.2% 50.0 g Kraton 1102 solvent 3.2 61.5% 160.0 g Cyclohexane ______________________________________ TABLE A-2 ______________________________________ Weight Weight Component Weight Ratio Percentage in Batch ______________________________________ adhesive solids 5.41 51.7% 20.0 g Dow-Corning DC-355 Medical Adhesive elastomer 1 9.6% 3.7 g Kraton 1102 solvent 4.05 39.7% 15.0 g Cyclohexane ______________________________________ Tables A-1 and A-2, above, show the presently preferred compositions of the adhesive mixture. The middle column illustrates the preferred weight ratio among the components, with the elastomeric component providing the smallest fraction of the total. The weight percentage is simply another manner of expressing the weight ratio, and the far right column illustrates a typical batch of the adhesive mixture which will produce a total of 260 grams of the preferred mixture (A-1) and 38.7 grams of the first alternate mixture (A-2). Enhanced embodiments of the preferred adhesive mixtures include, as a further component, a midblock tackifier. The purpose of the midblock tackifier is to improve the degree of adhesion between the adhesive mixture and the associated tissues. In particular, the midblock tackifier enhances the quick stick properties and the 180-degree peel adhesion of the adhesive mixture. In the preferred embodiment, the selected midblock tackifier component would be in the nature of a styrenated terpene. The preferred styrenated terpene is Wingtack 95, commercially available from Goodyear Chemical. The styrenated terpene would be utilized with the formulations of Tables A-1 and A-2 in the similar quantities as the elastomer component. The solutions produced in accordance with Tables A-1 and A-2 are appropriate for immediate usage in applications such as blepharoplasty. However, as discussed above, a "dry" form of the adhesive mixture is desirable for shipping and storage. For such situations the adhesive mixture is applied to a release paper or similar carrier surface medium, preferably by a coating machine such as a roller coater or a knife coater. The mixture is then dried to leave an adhesive residue in solid form on the carrier surfaces. Subsequent contact with an appropriate solvent at the time of usage reconstitutes the mixture and allows proper bonding. The formulations for the enhanced preferred embodiment and the enhanced first alternate embodiment of the present invention are illustrated below in Tables B-1 and B-2, with the batch components in this case representing a total quantity of adhesive mixture of 301.25 grams in the preferred embodiment (B-1) and 42.4 grams in the first alternate embodiment (B-2). TABLE B-1 ______________________________________ Weight Weight Component Weight Ratio Percentage in Batch ______________________________________ adhesive solids 50.0 16.6% 50.0 g Dow-Corning DC-355 Medical Adhesive elastomer 50.0 16.6% 50.0 g Kraton 1102 solvent 160.0 53.1% 160.0 g Cyclohexane midblock tackifier 40.0 13.3% 40.0 g styrenated terpene antioxidant 1.25 0.4% 1.25 g hindered phenolic ______________________________________ TABLE B-2 ______________________________________ Weight Weight Component Weight Ratio Percentage in Batch ______________________________________ adhesive solids 5.41 47.2% 20.0 g Dow-Corning DC-355 Medical Adhesive elastomer 1 8.7% 3.7 g Kraton 1102 solvent 4.05 35.4% 15.0 g Cyclohexane midblock tackifier 1 8.7% 3.7 g styrenated terpene ______________________________________ It is expected that the enhanced embodiments according to the mixture of Tables B-1 and B-2 will provide a longer-lasting bond and one that is less susceptible to deterioration from normal movement and atmospheric conditions. The particular type of styrenated terpene to be utilized as the midblock tackifier is Wingtack 95, although other available tackifiers such as Piccolyte S115, Piccoltye S100 and Croturf 2 products from Crosby Chemical [a poly (beta) terpene resin] would also be acceptable. The use of the antioxidant in the preferred embodiment (Table B-1) prevents degradation of the mixture and such side effects as discoloration, a potential problem in a visible application, such as a blepharoplasty. The enhanced embodiments, including the midblock tackifier component, provide a much better peel strength than the uninhanced adhesives. In 180.degree. peel tests on leather substrates, the preferred enhanced embodiment of Table B-1 was found to have a peel strength of approximately 9 psi while the Dow Corning 355 adhesive alone produced a peel strength of 3 to 5 psi. The substantial difference between the presently preferred embodiment (Tables A-1 and B-1) and the first alternate embodiment (Tables A-2 and B-2) relates to storage life. Although both embodiments have been found to function properly in use, the alternate embodiment is not truly miscible and has a tendency to separate over a period of time. The preferred embodiment is a true solution and has been found to be stable in storage, and is thus preferred for purposes wherein a delay is likely between formulation and usage. The above examples of Tables A and B illustrate the manner of making substantial quantities of the adhesive mixture. In practice it is expected that an amount of adhesive mixture equal to 14 grams (0.5 oz) or 5 ml. (0.17 fl. oz.) will be sufficient to perform a standard blepheroplasty. Accordingly, it is presently expected that the adhesive mixture will be packaged in single application dose packets as well as in bulk, so that a disposable single use package will be available. Although the adhesive mixture has been primarily described as being adapted for use in the blepharoplasty procedure, its use is by no means limited to this process. It is expected that the adhesive mixture of the preferred embodiment will also be adaptable for use as a tissue adhesive in other body locations and may be usable for such purposes as wound closure. Any usage in which it is desirable to adhere surfaces of living tissue together will be appreciated for the adhesive mixture. It is also expected that there will be substantial viability for usage of the adhesive mixture in veterinary applications. Although the potential harshness of the adhesive component involved might limit the usage with respect to human tissue, a further effective second alternate embodiment of the present invention of the adhesive mixture is based upon the cyanoacrylate family of adhesives combined with silicon oils to provide suspension, lubrication and gas permeability. In the alternate adhesive mixture formulation, the base adhesive component is one of the family of adhesives known as cyanoacrylates. The silicon oils are polydimethylsiloxane ("PDS") and 3-methacryloxypropyltris (trimethylsiloxy)silane ("3-methacryloxy"). The proportions (weight ratios) of the components of the second alternate embodiment of the inventive adhesive mixture are 2:1:1, that is 50% cyanoacrylate, 25% PDS, and 25% 3-methacryloxy. The three components are miscible with each other, so that a homogeneous mixture is formed when the components are brought together. The three components can be mixed together before application, or applied serially. If applied serially, the PDS is applied first. PDS is very oily, and will penetrate the surface of the tissue to some extent. The 3-methacryloxy is then applied to further prepare the tissue surface. Finally, the cyanoacrylate is applied to bond the tissue surfaces together after the desired tuck is taken. It is envisioned that in the second alternate embodiment as well as in the preferred embodiments, the components of the adhesive mixture will be mixed before application. The mixture will most likely be dispensed from a tube. A further alternate embodiment would have the cyanoacrylate in one tube and the PDS and 3-methacryloxy in a separate tube. It is envisioned that the user could apply the mixture personally, although a simple medical office procedure would be utilized in at least the initial instance. In practice, the mixture is applied to the eyelid, and whatever size and shape tuck is desired may be taken. The mixture adheres in approximately five minutes and remains somewhat flexible during that time, so that after application the conformation of the eyelid may be adjusted to the user's satisfaction. Further, a neutralizer will be made available so that the procedure can be "erased" and started again from the beginning. Once applied, the adhesive will remain effective for an extended wear time frame, presently believed to be approximately three months. At that time, the practitioner/patient/user may simply repeat the process, if desired. Those skilled in the art will readily observe that numerous modifications and alterations of the device may be made while retaining the teachings of the invention. Accordingly, the above disclosure is not intended as limiting. The appended claims are therefore to be interpreted as encompassing the entire spirit and scope of the invention. INDUSTRIAL APPLICABILITY The method of nonsurgical blepharoplasty of the present invention is a simple alternative to surgical procedures. It will allow a user to eliminate any drooping of the eyelid tissue. The user can perform the procedure personally, as often as desired. The cost of the procedure will be only a fraction of the cost of surgical blepharoplasty and will produce no trauma. It is also evidenced that the present invention may be adapted for use in wound closure. That application would expand the potential market to include use in all surgical procedures and in treatment of injuries. For the above reasons it is expected that the method for nonsurgical blepharoplasty of the present invention will have widespread applicability. It is expected that the present invention will enjoy substantial commercial utility. * * * * *

Hello all C++ Experts,
It's me again. I will get straight to the point.
I've successfully got the bitmap image rgb colors pixel which is (blue - 178, green - 130 and red 131).
What I do want to do next is to loop through the pixels and make it such that the picture will be totally blue. (Eg. Blue - 255, green - 0, red - 0)
I did tried a couple of for loops but it does not work, therefore, requiring assistance!
/*for (int i = 0; i < test; i++)
But obviously it does not work, that was why i needed the assistance. To add it on, hfile was being initialized for other purposes so i did not think it was relevant. Appreciated all the comments, thank you.
Thank you! As below is the code.
P.S: Using Microsoft Visual Studio 2010 - Win32 application, not Console.
#include "stdafx.h"
#include "winmain.h"
#include "Resource.h"
#include <stdio.h>
#include <windows.h>
#include <iostream>
#include <CommDlg.h>
#include <stdint.h>
#include <string>
#include <WinGDI.h>
HANDLE hfile2;
DWORD written;
BITMAPFILEHEADER bfh;
BITMAPINFOHEADER bih;
RGBTRIPLE *image;
hfile2 = CreateFile(ofn.lpstrFile`, GENERIC_READ | GENERIC_WRITE, 0, NULL, CREATE_NEW, FILE_FLAG_OVERLAPPED, NULL);
//Read the header
ReadFile(hfile, &bfh, sizeof(bfh), &written, NULL);
ReadFile(hfile, &bih, sizeof(bih), &written, NULL);
// Read image
int imagesize = bih.biWidth * bih.biHeight; // Helps you allocate memory for the image
image = new RGBTRIPLE[imagesize]; // Create a new image (I'm creating an array during runtime
ReadFile(hfile, image, imagesize * sizeof(RGBTRIPLE), &written, NULL); // Reads it off the disk
get_pixel(bih.biWidth, bih.biHeight);
int test = bih.biHeight * bih.biWidth * bih.biBitCount;
RGBTRIPLE get_pixel(int x,int y)
// Image define from earlier
return image[(bih.biHeight-1-y)*bih.biWidth+x];

Driving Low Cost, High Value Business Intelligence
Analytics and business intelligence has moved back to the top of the technology priority list for CIOs, followed by mobile technologies and cloud computing, according to cio.com.au.* But while the intention to harness the beast that is BI and turn it into business gold is clearly high on the priority list, the question remains as to how it can be achieved cost effectively. Here we explore how emerging technologies and approaches can help in building a credible and convincing case to prove that BI is an affordable and compelling way to differentiate in tough competitive markets.

Morning hypertension in chronic kidney disease is sustained type, but not surge type
ABSTRACT We have shown that as renal function deteriorates, the circadian blood pressure (BP) rhythm shifts to a nondipper pattern and the duration until nocturnal BP decline [dipping time (DT)] is prolonged. We investigated whether or not morning hypertension (BP 2 h after awakening >135/85 mmHg) in chronic kidney disease (CKD) was sustained type with a prolonged DT.
Twenty-four-hour BP was monitored in 104 patients with CKD. Fifty-one of 104 participants (group A) did not exhibit morning hypertension. The patients with morning hypertension (group B, n=53) were classified into three groups: group C (n=23), participants who exhibited morning hypertension but did not meet the criteria for the surge or sustained type; group D (n=29), the sustained type (with no night-time BP readings <120/70 mmHg); and group E (n=1), the surge type (systolic BP rises >25 mmHg after awakening).
The night/day BP ratio and DT were compared among groups A, C, and D because there was only one participant in group E. Night/day ratio of BP and DT were both significantly higher in group D compared with groups A and C. The prevalence of nondippers tended to be higher in group D compared with the other groups (A, 65%; C, 57%; D, 86%, P=0.09). Creatinine clearance was significantly lower in group D compared with groups A and C.
Sustained elevation of night-time BP until the early morning and high night/day ratio of BP may contribute to the high frequency of morning hypertension, which is generally the sustained rather than the surge type in CKD.

ABSTRACT: Chronic kidney disease (CKD) affects approximately 20 million adults in the United States. Patients with CKD have an increased risk of cardiovascular (CV) disease. Ambulatory blood pressure monitoring (ABPM) provides superior BP measurements when compared to office BP measurements in normotensive, hypertensive and CKD patients. ABPM measurements are often abnormal in CKD, with CKD patients frequently showing an altered circadian rhythm with an increased rate of non-dipping and reverse dipping. The prevalence of non-dippers and reverse-dippers increases progressively as stage of CKD progresses. ABPM has been shown to be a better tool for predicting CV risk, CKD progression, end stage renal disease (ESRD) or death than office-based pressures. ABPM is also additive and adds prognostic value for predicting CKD and CV outcomes when added to estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR). Although ABPM is time consuming, it is worth considering, as the data demonstrates that information from ABPM can potentially impact future CV and renal outcomes in patients with CKD.Current Hypertension Reports 04/2013; DOI:10.1007/s11906-013-0339-2 · 3.90 Impact Factor

Moshe Dann: The Temple Mount and Jewish Sovereignty
Moshe Dann is a writer and journalist living in Jerusalem.
The Israeli Police are very meticulous about Jews praying on the Temple Mount, site of the First and Second Temples. The holiest place in the world for Jews, they are forbidden to pray there.
Although the Temples were run by cohanim (priests), anyone could bring a sacrifice. It was in fact the first universal religious site in history. The center of Jewish worship, it was inclusive.
Strictly enforced by scores of guards employed by the Wakf (Muslim Authorities) who maintain surveillance of visitors, their discriminatory policy is enabled and assisted by Israeli (Arab) policemen. Non-Muslim religious items are prohibited by the Wakf, including Bibles and prayer books, and visiting hours are restricted.
