I finished a baby quilt last night for a coworker who will go on maternity leave soon. It was a delightfully simple block arrangement of scrappy four patches and one patches in charming fabrics from Moda. I truly loved sewing it and my mind meandered happily as I worked. I thought of the enumerable baby quilts I've made over the years for friends and family, and how touched the recipient always is to receive such a heartfelt gift.
And I remembered the first quilt I ever made in the late '80s, when my dearest friend and I were both pregnant with our first children. I thought a quilt would be the perfect gift for her and her baby, even though I'd never made one before. I saw quilting lessons advertised at a local fabric shop promising my quilt would be finished (or well on its way) by the end of the day. And it was! (I think choosing a small quilt was the key because I'm not a particularly speedy sewist!)
The quilt was a Trip Around the World in primary solids plus a print with a white background and happy, childlike designs in the same primary colors. (I was all about everything matching back then.) There were six fabrics in the top and I used a royal blue for a wide border. The quilt was tied with embroidery floss. I used a polyester batting and a solid white fabric for the backing--which I wrapped up and over. (For those of you who don't know what that is, it's a technique of "binding" with your backing fabric. After the tying is complete, you trim the batting flush with the quilt top but trim the back about 1" LARGER so you can fold in 1/2" and then fold the other 1/2" onto the quilt top and edgestitch it down.) Mercifully, I do not have a photo to share.
Now, in case you missed it, I just told you the backing was solid white so, yes, my first quilt had a white binding! And it was for a baby!! None of this struck me as odd at the time but I wailed with laughter when, about 10 years and many successful quilts later, my friend pulled out the old quilt to show me. It's encouraging to note your progress by looking back at early work.
As quilters, we all start somewhere and I still have a fondness for simple block designs and arrangements for many of my projects.
Which brings me full circle to my latest quilt. This quilt might not earn any awards in a show, but it received the greatest accolades at the baby shower--a sincere thank you and a big hug. So, how did you decide to start quilting? Go back to the time when you made your first quilt, and share your story. And, by sharing your story you have a chance to win big! That's right.

WiMAX - Summary
This tutorial teaches you most of the basics of WiMAX. This tutorial should be your starting point and you have lot of things to refer to become a master in WiMAX. So, please check WiMAX Useful Resources chapter of this tutorial for more information on WiMAX.
I am summarizing few points related to WiMAX:
WiMAX is based on a very flexible and robust air interface defined by the IEEE 802.16 group.
WiMAX is similar to the wireless standard known as Wi-Fi, but on a much larger scale and at faster speeds.
The WiMAX physical layer is based on OFDM, which is an elegant and effective technique for overcoming multipath distortion.
The physical layer supports several advanced techniques for increasing the reliability of the link layer. These techniques include powerful error correction coding, including turbo coding and LDPC, hybrid-ARQ, and antenna arrays.
WiMAX supports a number of advanced signal-processing techniques to improve overall system capacity. These techniques include adaptive modulation and coding, spatial multiplexing, and multiuser diversity.
WiMAX has a very flexible MAC layer that can accommodate a variety of traffic types, including voice, video, and multimedia, and provide strong QoS.
Robust security functions, such as strong encryption and mutual authentication, are built into the WiMAX standard.
WiMAX defines a flexible all-IP-based network architecture that allows for the exploitation of all the benefits of IP.
WiMAX offers very high spectral efficiency, particularly when using higher-order MIMO solutions.
WiMAX Forum™ is an industry-led, non-profit corporation formed to promote and certify compatibility and interoperability of broadband wireless products.

Selwyn has entered into a sale transaction with Chihong Canada Mining Ltd. to sell its 50% interest in Selwyn joint venture project in Yukon and Northwest territories, for CAD 50.0 Million. The transaction was approved by the Selwyn shareholders at the April 22, 2013 Special Meeting and is expected to be closed in early June 2013 together with the payment of the remaining CAD 40.0 Million.
Selwyn acquired ScoZinc Ltd in 2011 for CAD 10.0 Million and with a plan to re-start operation and join the "Producer group". The time required to resume production at ScoZinc is approximately 9 months, with an estimated production of 2,500 tpd (Zinc and Lead) mine and mill operations. The Selwyn Board has indicated that it wishes to have the funds from the sale of its interest in the Selwyn Project to fund the restart of ScoZinc mine if warranted and grow of the company as a new base-precious metal producer.
Selwyn Resources up on initial agreement with Kaska communities in Yukon
Selwyn Resources (CVE:SWN) said Thursday it has inked an interim agreement with Ross River Dena Council and the Liard First Nation on behalf of all Kaska communities, in an effort to establish a relationship as it advances its flagship project in the Yukon.
The Kaska First Nation communities in the Yukon include Daylu Dena Council, Kwadacha, and Dease River First Nation.
The Selwyn project in the Yukon is being developed by Selwyn Chihong Mining, the joint venture company formed by Selwyn and Chihong Canada Mining in August 2010 to develop the property.
The project is located in eastern Yukon, straddling the border with the Northwest Territories.
"Selwyn Chihong is encouraged by this significant step forward in our relationship with the Kaska," said Selwyn's vice president of environment and community affairs, Justin Himmelright.
"The Interim Measures Agreement establishes the framework for SCML and the Kaska to work to advance the project through final feasibility, permitting, and into construction."
Selwyn said that it expects to begin negotiations of a socio-economic participation agreement very soon, which will help guide their relationship for the operations phase of the project - adressing environmental and social concerns as well as Kaska involvement opportunities.
"This Interim Measures Agreement is an important first step in terms of the relationship," said the Liard First Nation Chief, Liard McMillan.
"It governs how the Kaska will be engaged during the exploration and feasibility discovery phase of the Project."
In January 2007, Selwyn completed a preliminary economic assessment (PEA) for the Yukon project, which considered an open pit plan of mining at 20,000 tonnes per day.
Since the initial PEA was prepared, however, there have been significant movements in exchange rates, as well as in metal prices and capital and operating cost assumptions, rendering the PEA no longer viable.
Earlier in May, Selwyn announced an updated mineral resource estimate for its XY West deposit at the project, highlighting the expansion of its inferred category resources to 12.75 million tonnes grading 4.42% zinc and 1.40% lead.
The updated NI 43-101 report included drill results from the 2010 and 2011 definition drilling and exploration work programs at the XY West deposit.
Selwyn noted that the XY West deposit is a key component due to its close proximity to the adjacent XY Central deposit, which has an inferred mineral resource of 44.11 million tonnes grading 4.10% zinc and 1.29% lead.
The updated 12.75 million tonne inferred estimate for XY West used a base case 2.0% zinc cut-off grade, and includes 3.27 million tonnes of higher grade zinc-lead mineralization grading 7.71% zinc and 2.23% lead at a 5% zinc cut-off grade.
Since acquiring the Selwyn project in 2005, the company said it has made nine major deposit discoveries that are potentially amenable to open pit and/or underground mining methods, with all of the deposits remaining open for expansion.
The total indicated mineral resources at the Selwyn project are 180.69 million tonnes grading 5.25% zinc and 1.83% lead for a metal content of 20.91 billion pounds of zinc and 7.30 billion pounds of lead.
The inferred mineral resources have increased to 226.88 million tonnes grading 4.44% zinc and 1.37% lead for a metal content of 22.23 billion pounds of zinc and 6.84 billion pounds of lead.
Selwyn also released additional drill results from the Don Connector target at its Selwyn project in May, including hole DON-233, which intersected 27.85 metres true thickness, grading 6.09% zinc and 1.87% lead, including 10.87 metres grading 8.95% zinc and 2.62% lead.
Shares of Selwyn increased 5.88 per cent to 9 cents Thursday afternoon.

Movie Review: A Home at the End of the World
Rated R for strong drug content, sexuality, nudity, language and a disturbing accident; 96 minutes; opening today at the Broadway Centre Cinemas.
Colin Farrell stars as Bobby, a sweet-tempered Cleveland boy with quite a life history: trying LSD in the '70s, making out with his best friend Jonathan in the '70s while also charming Jonathan's mom (Sissy Spacek) into smoking pot, then becoming the fulcrum of a love triangle with the adult Jonathan (Dallas Roberts) and Woodstock refugee Clare (Robin Wright Penn) in the '80s. First-time director Michael Mayer and author Michael Cunningham (The Hours), who adapted this script from his own novel, believe in the healing power of Bobby's blissed-out sexual charm - and Farrell's magnetism is almost enough to sell the idea. But the story devolves into a contest to see which character can be the most selfish and eccentric. With these folks in the room, the end of the world can't come soon enough.

It was a heck of a turnaround, but all good things must come to an end.
The Fruitport varsity baseball team, which at one point during the season was just 7-10 before finishing with a flourish, lost to East Grand Rapids in Division 2 regional action at Hope College on Saturday, 8-2.
"I'm depressed that we didn't go any farther than we did, but we did win districts and we made it to regionals," said Fruitport senior Mitchell Reyes. "I'm happy with that, I'm happy with the team that we have. I love everybody that I've been playing with … We've got nine seniors, and I've been playing with all of them since I was 5 years old."
Saturday started out as a close contest, before the Pioneers pulled away midway through the game.
Fruitport catcher Kolin Lakatos poked a single into left field at the top of the fourth inning, bringing home Andrew Slocum, and tying the score at 1-1.
The fourth was kinder to EGR. Several well-placed hits, coupled with several Trojans' errors, led to a 5-1 lead for the Pioneers.
"We gave them five or six outs that inning. You can't do that against a good team," said coach Nick Reed.
A groundout in the fifth inning by Carmean brought Alex Bowen home to make it 5-2, but once again, the bleeding continued for the Trojans at the bottom of the inning. The Pioneers found home plate twice more, to take a 7-2 lead.
Travis Grimm replaced Austin Curtis part way through the inning, holding EGR to only one more run the rest of the way, but the Fruitport bats could not manage another score.
"We put up a fight. We hit the ball," Lakatos said. "We put the ball in play and they got the outs. We just couldn't finish. We had some struggles. We had some mental errors out in the field. That's kind of what made the runs on their team, that's kind of what helped them out."

"Big Nanny" creates gas bubble
Viv Forbes
Five silly government initiatives have created "The Big Nanny Gas Bubble".
The first foolish policy forced electricity suppliers to generate a proportion of their electricity from gas. This increased the demand and price for gas.
Naturally, gas producers applauded.
The second silly gas policy promoted and subsidised the replacement of electric heating appliances with gas appliances.
Naturally, gas producers applauded again. So did appliance retailers.
The third bad idea from Big Nanny was a law mandating 20% of electricity be generated from "renewable energy". The perverse consequence of this policy will be to force the construction of a parallel universe of gas fired power stations to prop up the green generators when the sun don't shine or the wind don't blow. This will create more demand for gas and further increases in gas prices.
Naturally, gas companies applauded again. So did Green Energy speculators and Chinese manufacturers.
The Fourth gas wasting scheme is the Ration-N-Tax Scheme from Big Nanny in Canberra. This scheme penalises production of one "greenhouse gas", carbon dioxide, but not the main one, water vapour, which comprises more than 90% of all so-called greenhouse gases. This policy punishes coal more than gas, even though they both are hydro-carbon fuels which produce the same two greenhouse gases when burnt.
Naturally, gas companies applauded again.
Every one of these actions increased the costs of electricity and gas. Consumers did not applaud.
The fifth stupid gas policy attempts to hide the effects of the other four by proposing export embargos and price controls for domestic gas.
Suddenly, gas producers did not applaud.
Governments should repeal all these destructive interventions and allow producers and consumers to discover that combination of fuels and technologies that best satisfy their values and needs.
Keep Big Nanny out of the energy china shop.

About Me
We had just moved into our new house in Katherine and I remember sitting on the corner of our street waiting for my sister to get off the bus from school. She walked along the street on one side followed closely by two guys on the other side. That was the first time I laid eyes on my husband.
I wasn't interested in boys back then and it wasn't until a few years later when he came back from a year in Italy that I stopped and took note of that day on the curb and what was in front of me the whole time. We were boyfriend and girlfriend in high school but we are not high school sweet hearts.
Nowadays we live in Darwin and our lives are insanely messy, exhausting and a daily struggle but it is also filled with so many wonderful, amazing adventures. I've been blogging since 2006 and Hello Owl is a true reflection of my life, of where I am at right now and where I have been in the past. It is filled with the good stuff, the bad stuff and most of the the time the crazy stuff.
I blog for myself, I blog for my husband, I blog for my children and I blog to meet like minded people like you. In my spare time {believe there isn't much} I'm a photographer and my work can be found here. Sometimes this space is quiet but you can always find us over on instagram at @danielleandreoli

(Detroit Free Press) Metro Airport's McNamara Terminal was put on security lockdown late Thursday after a man slipped through a security checkpoint without being screened, according to an airport spokesman.
"A passenger, who was already on the secured side of the screened checkpoint, exited through the line and made the decision to turn back around and go through the secured side without being screened again," said Brian Lassaline.
Lassaline said the man was soon found and was being questioned late Thursday. He said the security breach occurred around 8:45 p.m.
"They've sweeped the terminal," he said. "They won't start re-screening until the investigation is complete."
However, scattered reports on Twitter indicated some security barricades were reopening around 10:25 p.m.
Earlier, a line of cars outside the terminal stretched the length of the terminal and three lanes deep. Baggage from flights from about 8:45 p.m. were still sitting on the baggage carousels. Police were seen standing inside closed doors in front of escalators, leading down to the baggage area.
James Geiger, a pediatric surgeon at CS Mott Children's Hospital, said his flight from Phoenix landed around 8:55 p.m. and he said everyone was placed under a lockdown shortly after that.
"They lowered the gates where no one could go into the terminal," Geiger said. "It looks like they're not letting any flights board or leave."
Geiger said he saw multiple TSA agents searching the perimeter.
"They looked like they were looking around or looking for someone," he said.
Mary Coleman had already been waiting for more than a half-hour for her nephew to get off his flight from New Orleans.
"He's texting me and saying the concourse is completely shut down in between the gates and the baggage area," Coleman said. "He said they aren't being told what's going on."
On Twitter, dozens of travelers shared their ordeal. Tweeted Michael Siegel: "Looks like TSA is working really hard to find the guy who breached security" -- along with a photo of TSA workers standing at a checkpoint.
Scott Warheit said he's sitting in a car outside of the airport waiting for his parents to exit the building.
"They are in a Delta terminal, caged in and unable to leave or get to baggage claim," Warheit said. "I'm parked outside baggage claim. There's lots of traffic."

'G.I. Joe 3' already in the works at Paramount
Surprise, surprise: Paramount is already planning a third "G.I. Joe" movie.
Following the successful launch of "Retaliation" over Easter weekend (the film grossed more than $50 million in its first five days of U.S. release and north of $130 million worldwide), the studio has decided to move forward with a third installment of the Hasbro franchise, according to Variety.
Paramount's decision is a no-brainer: "G.I. Joe: Retaliation" is expected to outperform its predecessor, 2009's "The Rise of Cobra," by a considerable margin at the global box-office. Initially slated for release last June, the sequel was delayed by nine months when the studio decided to convert the film to 3D - a move that appears to have worked wonders commercially.
Are you interested in seeing another "G.I. Joe" movie? Sound off in the comments.

We are only 16 years shy of 100 years since Herbert Hoover, in his 1928 campaign for president of the United States, promised "a car in every garage and a chicken in every pot" if he were elected.
The American voters of the day bought that line, and today there are still many Americans who don't have a chicken, a pot, a car or a garage.
One studying in business school would learn the business name is one of the critical factors for consideration. Some businesses thrive with names that do not seem to have anything to do with the business. However, when one has the opportunity to come up with a name, it should be done thoughtfully and with intent.
As election day grows closer, the polls show the race is a close one.
The selection of our next president may very well determine the future of our country. Those whose vote will be motivated by race, entitlements and the need to show an integrated government – think about it.
In 2008 a president was elected with no economic or military experience. He is the product of Chicago politics, a community organizer, a first-term senator. His cry was one of "change." The economy? Employment? Tax reform?
Jesus said if your hand offends you, cut it off. Edmund Burke (we think) said you don't bite the hand that feeds you.
The Columbia County Exchange Club just had both experiences, and got slapped for their trouble.
Charities have benefited greatly over the years from the club's concerts at the Imperial Theater featuring Ed Turner and Number 9.
This year's performance brought a new twist, however, and what appears to be an end to the relationship.
The members of the Senate Ethics Committee have finally settled ethics complaints filed against one of their fellow lawmakers, state Sen. Don Balfour, R-Snellville.
Balfour had a habit of filing reports claiming reimbursement from taxpayers' money for expenses he allegedly incurred as a legislator. The only problem was, on some of those days when he said he should have been reimbursed for expenses, Balfour was out of town being wined and dined by lobbyists.
Barring some miracle hidden in a recount of Tuesday's primary runoff or in overseas military absentee ballots still counted through Friday, Lee Anderson is the Republican nominee for the 12th District congressional seat. He'll now plow ahead to the November election against Democratic incumbent John Barrow.
"It is not the man who has too little, but the man who craves more, that is poor."

Admittedly, I grew up in the Stone Age. At least that's what it sounds like to my grandchildren when I describe my life two generations ago. A succession of rented, poorly built homes with few amenities, or whatever my father could afford, were a far cry from what these young ones deem normal today.
Just what we need: An intense sheriff's race in Augusta between a black Democrat and a white Republican, and a race between a black Democratic president and a white Republican challenger.
After the results Tuesday night set up that scenario, the jokes started flying – though all of them carried a serious, cautionary undertone.
"Anyone need an agent to put their Augusta house on the market?" asked one Realtor – who added, "Never mind; who'd buy it?"

PASADENA, Calif. -- A team of researchers at the California Institute of Technology (Caltech) has devised a new method for making complex molecules. The reaction they have come up with should enable chemists to synthesize new varieties of a whole subclass of organic compounds called nitrogen-containing heterocycles, thus opening up new avenues for the development of novel pharmaceuticals and natural products ranging from chemotherapeutic compounds to bioactive plant materials such as morphine.
The teamled by Brian Stoltz, the Ethel Wilson Bowles and Robert Bowles Professor of Chemistry, and Doug Behenna, a scientific researcherused a suite of specialized robotic tools in the Caltech Center for Catalysis and Chemical Synthesis to find the optimal conditions and an appropriate catalyst to drive this particular type of reaction, known as an alkylation, because it adds an alkyl group (a group of carbon and hydrogen atoms) to the compound. The researchers describe the reaction in a recent advance online publication of a paper in Nature Chemistry.
"We think it's going to be a highly enabling reaction, not only for preparing complex natural products, but also for making pharmaceutical substances that include components that were previously very challenging to make," Stoltz says. "This has suddenly made them quite easy to make, and it should allow medicinal chemists to access levels of complexity they couldn't previously access."
The reaction creates compounds called heterocycles, which involve cyclic groups of carbon and nitrogen atoms. Such nitrogen-containing heterocycles are found in many natural products and pharmaceuticals, as well as in many synthetic polymers. In addition, the reaction manages to form carbon-carbon bonds at sites where some of the carbon atoms are essentially hidden, or blocked, by larger nearby components.
"Making carbon-carbon bonds is hard, but that's what we need to make the complicated struct

Designer Doo-Ri Chung is leaving her eponymous label after nine years.
WWD reports that Tharanco Group, which owns the Doo.Ri brand, is looking into new strategies for the brand. There's speculation that the label will be sold or broken up via a licensing model.
While the reason for Chung's departure is unclear, it's safe to say it's not a reflection of Chung's work. The designer was featured in Douglas Keeve's documentary Seamless, has several CFDA accolades under her belt, dressed Michelle Obama for a state dinner, and has collaborated with Macy's. So yeah, she kicked ass at her job, and this exit seems sudden and unexpected.
Also, this feels quite similar to the situation with Simon Spurr earlier this year. Spurr left his own label (and his company is continuing to use his name), but details remain murky. Will this happen to Chung as well? We'll keep you posted.

Wallace was agreeable, but the arrangements became complicated and the effort bogged down. Related correspondence was published as part of a summary of the discussion in the August/September 1873 issue of The Zetetic and Anti-Theorist (a "cosmography" journal edited by one of the chief flat-earth proponents, known as "Parallax"). Some twenty-three letters were printed; following are Wallace's five contributions to the discussion, written over a period of about two weeks in July 1873.
This transcript originates from Charles H. Smith's The Alfred Russel Wallace Page website (http://people.wku.edu/charles.smith/index1.htm): See http://people.wku.edu/charles.smith/wallace/S228A.htm

Nissan's DeltaWing scores an impressive result at Petit Le Mans
Nissan's fan-favourite DeltaWing racer scored its first ever race finish, taking fifth place overall in the gruelling 1000-mile Petit Le Mans race at Road Atlanta this past weekend, despite starting from the back of a 42 car grid. The DeltaWing enjoyed a relatively quiet race compared to the drama of the preceding days. In practice the car was taken out by a GTC class Porsche, momentarily knocking the DeltaWing onto its side, fortunately driver Gunner Jeannette was unhurt in the incident.
The race was on to fix the car in time for further practice sessions on Thursday, and in true endurance style the Nissan DeltaWing was soon back in action and ready for Petit Le Mans. "What I am most pleased about is that while the car obviously passed all the virtual and actual FIA crash tests prior to running at Le Mans," said Nissan's Darren Cox. "We've unfortunately tested the car in real world incidents twice now and in both cases the car has done its job in protecting the driver. We'd rather not do it again but we've certainly shown the concept works and it is very safe."
Despite qualifying with a time fast enough for the top ten, the DeltaWing was relegated to the back of the grid for the start of the race. Organisers deemed that the car should start from the back as it was an unclassified entry. Read the rest of this entry »
Disappointment for Audi & McNish at Petit Le Mans
Allan McNish's run of atrocious luck in this year's Intercontinental Le Mans Cup (ILMC) continued this weekend at Petit Le Mans.
McNish, together with Tom Kristensen and Dindo Capello, retired his Audi R18 TDI on safety grounds with 90mins to run in the 1,000-mile race – the penultimate round of the ILMC.
The McNish/Kristensen/Capello car started from fourth place on the capacity 53-car grid with McNish aiming for a fifth personal Petit victory and Audi's 10th in the annual 394-lap race around the undulating 2.54-mile Road Atlanta circuit.
But Kristensen lost a lap, and dropped to 41st after 37mins into the race following an unscheduled pit-stop to replace the front nose bodywork section and a punctured left tyre following contact with a GT car. Read the rest of this entry »
Aston Martin secures second consecutive podium at Petit Le Mans
At the final round of the American Le Mans Series, and the penultimate Intercontinental Le Mans Cup round, Aston Martin Racing scored its second consecutive podium as it finished third overall, and the best-placed petrol car at Petit Le Mans. The 007 LMP1 car finished just one lap behind the 2nd placed diesel car.
Despite a strong entry that included five competitive diesel racers, the petrol-powered V12 DBR1-2 ran flawlessly throughout the 1,000 mile race to dominate the unofficial petrol category with a clear four-lap margin to the nearest challenger.
Mexican ace Adrian Fernandez powered the Aston Martin Racing machine over the finish line more than nine hours after the race got underway to score the team's second consecutive podium result in the series, adding to its outright victory at Laguna Seca two weeks before.

McNish & Audi aim for more success at Petit Le Mans
Allan McNish is hoping for an upturn in fortune when the Scotsman returns to a previous happy and successful hunting ground in Road Atlanta and the annual Petit Le Mans race, which marks the American début of the Audi R18 TDI.
The Dumfries-born racer bids for his fifth and Audi's 10th victory in the annual 1,000-mile race on Saturday (1 Oct) – the penultimate round of the Intercontinental Le Mans Cup.
McNish has endured a difficult season to date, having posted a third (Spa), two fourths (Sebring & Imola) plus a seventh (Silverstone) from the previous five races.
The double Le Mans 24 Hour race winner is partnered by Tom Kristensen and Dindo Capello, in what is the third longest race of the ILMC that concludes in China in November. Read the rest of this entry »

If you do exercises regulary than L-carnitine an dother popular "fatburners" are fine. However, you will never be able to get a six-pack if you can't maintain the calorie deficit ( X < aerage calorie/day ). You can do this in two ways: 1, calculate your daily calorie intake and gradually reduce it. 2, if you can bear starving then try to get used to eat less and keep up minimum 3 weeks and check the results.

This species is considered Critically Endangered because it has a tiny occupied range of c.3.5 km2, within which its montane forest habitat has been severely fragmented and continues to decline in both extent and quality.
Taxonomic note
Turdus olivaceus (Sibley and Monroe 1990, 1993) has been split into T. helleri on the basis of its highly distinct plumage pattern, and reportedly different voice (following Collar and Stuart 1985), T. ludoviciae on the basis of its extremely distinct plumage pattern following Collar et al. (1994) and T. olivaceus (with species limits accordingly revised).
20-22 cm. Medium-sized thrush of montane forest. Dark upperparts, head and breast. White underparts. Rich rufous flanks. Bright orange bill and eye-ring. Voice Thought to resemble Olive Thrush T. olivaceus. Hints Shy, keeps well hidden in dense thickets and undergrowth, where spends much time foraging in leaf-litter.

Determination of the full-genome sequence of hepatitis E virus (HEV) SAAS-FX17 and use as a reference to identify putative HEV genotype 4 virulence determinants

Virology Journal 2012, 9:264 doi:10.1186/1743-422X-9-264Published: 8 November 2012
Four major genotypes of hepatitis E virus (HEV), the causative agent of hepatitis E, have so far been recognized. While genotypes 3 and 4 are both zoonotic, the disease symptoms caused by the latter tend to be more severe. To examine if specific nucleotide/amino acid variations between genotypes 3 and 4 play a role in determining the severity of hepatitis E disease, the complete genome of one swine HEV genotype 4 isolate, SAAS-FX17, was determined and compared with other genotype 4 and genotype 3 genomes to identify putative HEV genotype 4 virulence determinants.
A total of 42 conformable nt/aa variations between genotype 3 and 4 HEVs were detected, of which 19 were proposed to be potential disease severity determinants for genotype 4 strains.
One potential determinant was located in each of the 5'-UTR and 3'-UTR, 3 and 12 within ORF1 and ORF2 respectively, and 2 in the junction region.

A kissing disease is mostly thought to be caused among teens but toddlers to adults can get it to. Since the EBV is spread through saliva, a person can get mono through more than just kissing. Drinking after someone and using the same tissue can also spread the EBV. Prevention is simple; avoid kissing and sharing utensils with someone who has the kissing disease. There is sure to be a grin on your face once you get to read this article on Mononucleosis - How to treat Mono naturally. This is because you are sure to realize that all this matter is so obvious, you wonder how come you never got to know about it!
Avoid junk foods because they weaken the immune system. Some herbs like astragalus and Echinacea are helpful. These are available as teas, tinctures, or capsules. Milk, dandelion, and thistle herbs can help prevent the liver being affected. These self-care tips should not be construed as a cure for mononucleosis, however they can help hasten recovery and ease symptoms.Go ahead and read this article on Mononucleosis - How to treat Mono naturally. We would also appreciate it if you could give us an analysis on it for us to make any needed changes to it.Because mono is a viral infection, antibiotics are ineffectual. They will only be prescribed by a doctor if you develop a secondary bacterial infection like strep throat. Don't play sport or lift heavy objects. Impact, over-exertion, and strain can rupture a swollen spleen. You will also get exhausted which will make it harder for your immune system to fight off the virus.The more readers we get to this writing on Mononucleosis - How to treat Mono naturally, the more encouragement we get to produce similar, interesting articles for you to read. So read on and pass it to your friends.Kissing burns calories, 2-3 calories a minute and can double your metabolic rate. Research claims that three passionate kisses a day (at least lasting 20 seconds each) will cause you to loose an entire extra pound! It's time to start that kissing diet!Young adults are often affected and the severity and duration of symptoms varies from no symptoms, to developing breathing difficulties (because of swelling at the back of the throat) and other complications requiring hospitalisation. Symptoms can last for months (it is a risk factor for chronic fatigue syndrome). Symptom relief and rest are commonly recommended treatments.Reading is a habit that has to be cultivated from a small age. Only if one has the habit of reading can one acquire more knowledge on things like Mononucleosis - How to treat Mono naturally.The motive no one is able to fully explain how people get chronic fatigue syndrome is since so many things result chronic fatigue. Many, more situations, inadequacy and illnesses wear down and impair the immune system.It would be hopeless trying to get people who are not interested in knowing more about Mononucleosis - How to treat Mono naturally to read articles pertaining to it. Only people interested in Mononucleosis - How to treat Mono naturally will enjoy this article.
The symptoms of Mono kissing disease vary from person to person, but they all come close to what is typically seen in individuals who have this disease. One of the symptoms is feeling like you have the flu. Another common symptom for people who are younger is a sore throat. The glands that are in the throat area have become swollen. Rapid weight loss is another sign that you might have been exposed to the disease. Not having an appetite is another sign that should also be taken seriously.eventually, when you kiss your partner, you do not need to jam your face into her. You need to be gentle. Forget about those manhandling kisses that you see in the pictures. The single thing they're good for is breaking your partner's neck. You would like to be mild about the entire thing. This will bring about the most satisfactory results.We worked as diligently as an owl in producing this composition on Mononucleosis - How to treat Mono naturally. So only if you do read it, and appreciate its contents will we feel our efforts haven't gone in vain.In general, mononucleosis and CFS are problematic viruses as there is a risk of misdiagnosis owing to their cold and flu-like symptoms that are so similar to that of other diseases that often, doctors don't give it them the right attention, even though early detection and treatment are so vital for a full recovery.A lot of imagination is required in writing. People may think that writing on Mononucleosis - How to treat Mono naturally is very easy; on the contrary, knowledge and imagination has to be merged to create an interesting composition.The Center for Disease Control or CDC explains that CFS is an incapacitating disease wherein the worst condition is manifested with "an all-encompassing fatigue that results in a dramatic decline in both activity level and stamina."3 The Center further explains that CFS can easily be "misdiagnosed or overlooked because its symptoms are common to many other disorders."3 This means that mononucleosis can be neglected because symptoms like fever, sore throat, and fatigue or exhaustion can be mistaken for the common cold or flu. 2Warren Neel 13/TB11/18/58

Mark Vanhoenacker asks:
In terms of balancing America's most cherished values, no other American memorial marking a terrorist act has struck anything like the "balance" New York has. The Oklahoma City memorial, the Flight 93 memorial, even the Sept. 11 memorial at the Pentagon: None require advance names, photo ID, or airport-style security, let alone all three. The outdoor Oklahoma City memorial—open 24/7 year-round—seems more concerned with helping visitors find nearby doggie daycare than burdening them with byzantine rules and regulations. Abroad, access to highly urban memorials in freedom-loving countries better acquainted with terrorism—Spain, the United Kingdom—is unfettered. Neither the memorial to the London July 7, 2005, attacks nor the Madrid station bombing memorial require preregistration, ID, or security checks.

This was the home of one of Scott's best friends, Marie Hersey. Scott fell in love with her cousin, Ginevra King, when he was eleven, and he kept in contact with both girls through college. When Scott and Zelda were first married, Scott objected to Zelda's fluffy Southern style wardrobe. He asked Marie to help Zelda choose clothing more appropriate to New York City.
Go one block to:

The Queene Anne style house pictured at left was Mrs. Porterfield's boarding house. Scott visited several other young authors here while he was revising his novel. One of them, Donald Ogden Stewart, later wrote screen plays in Hollywood with Scott. Across the street, at 516 Summit Ave., pictured at right, lived Sinclair Lewis. He was supposedly writing a book about James J. Hill, but it was never published.
Go about one block to:
593/599 Summit
Scott's family had moved to this Romanesque brownstone building while Scott was away at school. They lived in two apartments here, 593 and 599. His grandmother had died, leaving an inheritance to pay for Scott's education at Princeton. Scott did poorly in college, but his participation in writing and acting in plays made him popular. He got sick one semester, either with malaria or Tuberculosis, and dropped out. When he returned to class his poor grades made him ineligible for rejoining his favorite clubs. Unhappy at school, he joined the Army just as World War I began. He partied and danced well, but he was a poor officer. He met Zelda when he was stationed near her home in Alabama. Each thought the other was rich, but neither was. When Scott got out of the army and got a job as a poorly paid copywriter in New York, their romance cooled. Unable to afford New York city, Scott returned to his parent's home in this building, which he described in a letter as "A house below the average on a street above the average." Here he rewrote his novel, hoping to win Zelda's love back by getting a book published. In 1919, when he received word that the publisher accepted it, he ran up and down Summit Avenue, stopping traffic to tell drivers of his success. He and Zelda were married shortly after the publication of "This Side of Paradise", but they had many unpaid bills. Scott bought a huge ledger to start keeping better track of his money. He used that same ledger until his death at 44, carefully recording his novels, magazine stories, expenses and brief summaries of each year.
Continue to the corner.
623 Summit
Turn right onto Dale Street.
25 North Dale
As you walk two blocks to Holly, notice the Academy Office Building across the street with a new Fitzgerald statue created by Aaron Dysart. The building was formerly St. Paul Academy, the private school Scott attended.
Turn right at Holly.
586 Holly
Go one block to:
509/514 Holly
When Edward lost his job out East, the family returned to the safety of Grandmother McQuillan's money. They lived in three different houses on this block. One has been torn down. The five years Scott lived on this block were important because he later wrote about his childhood activities in the magazine stories that he sold to Scribner's and the Saturday Evening Post. In the 1910 census, the family lived at 514 Holly, pictured at right. Edward was 56, Molly 48, Scott 13, and Annabel, 8, with one servant living in their household. They also lived in the apartment pictured at left, 509 Holly.
Go one block to:
472 Holly
This sturdy brownstone house is the home of Scott's grandmother, Louisa McQuillan. Her husband, Philip Francis McQuillan, died in 1877 at the age of 43, twenty years before Scott was born. Mr. McQuillan began as a bookkeeper in a wholesale grocery business. He soon owned the company and also the tallest building in downtown St. Paul. Mrs. McQuillan's brother, John H. Allen, had been a partner in the business. He eventually assumed control, and built a large home at 335 Summit Ave. 472 Holly is one of Mrs. McQuillan's smaller houses. The largest house was downtown on 10th Street, where 500 guests could be entertained. The McQuillan's also maintained a winter home in Washington D.C., which is where Edward Fitzgerald and Molly McQuillan were married in 1890.
Continue on Holly to Western. (Stop sign.)
Commodore Hotel
Turn left. Go two blocks.
Angus Hotel
W.A. Frost
Scott may have had cokes and ice-cream sodas here when this was the neighborhood drugstore instead of a restaurant. The tin ceiling inside has been preserved.
Turn left on Selby. Walkers: Walk through or around the Blair Arcade building to the parking lot. Cut through the parking lot to Arundel, to Laurel, past 481 Laurel, back to your car.

That's the truth! Wow!

Having an inquiring mind, I find myself asking, are those really nuns? I haven't seen any Roman Catholic nuns wearing that type of habit in years.

This is good news. I think every woman needs to know how to defend herself. A good self-defense class is valuable, but a real karate class is much better. I took Karate for years and did very well.
Right Truth

Abouna, they are in some foreign country, not sure where?
Debbie, great advice, but the classes around here are sooo....expensive. I wish I could take them, though. There have been 11 brutal rapes in our area and that sick scum bag is still roaming the streets.

I enjoyed watching that. I studied self defense as well for 8 years. Although I haven't done it in a while you still never forget some essential techniques,plus it makes you very aware of your surroundings. Where we went there were contracts. You paid each time you went .
I agreee with Debbie it should be a requirement for all women.

Nice. Cube has a valid point.

Reverend: They still do dress like that in other countries. I've seen them in habits in Germany and Latin America.
Martial arts are a great way to learn self-defense and stay in shape.
- October 5, 2011 at 6:46 AM
- Leticia said...
Lisa, I also agree. Women need to learn how to defend themselves. It would be nice if that had martial arts or karate as part of gym class.
MK, right!
Silver, yep they do.

Go Nuns! That was awesome.
A good number of the conservative orders wear those type of habits. Its the good for nothing lib nuns/sisters who have abandoned the habit and now wear whatever they want to wear.

I like the idea of having that as part of school curriculum Leticia?
do you live in the NY area? I would be happy to teach you a few pointers.

Bab Al Salam, Azaz, Syria
This iReport is part of an assignment:
Photo essays: Your stories in pictures
Over 12,000 refugee's in Bab Al Salam
- sarahbrowngb, CNN iReport producer
In the camp there are more and more people arriving to find safety from the War within Syria, due to their homes being bombed and losing family members. The majority in the 'camp are children which is around 60%', the camp doctor said. There are a lot of different diseases rife in the camp due to bad hygiene and facilities, such as the families living in the tents burn plastic to keep warm which is toxic, creating problems with the lungs. On top of this PTSD is common with many people and children in the camp especially suffer with this due to the tragic events unfolding in front of their eyes. The international aid is sparse going into the camp and the organisations who are there can not cope with the big influx of IDPs.
