Skill Level Beginner
While we're modifying our Slide Master, we're going to slap our logo on there to establish our company branding on every slide. We've inserted photos before, and this process is going to be exactly the same. In fact, the only difference is that we're going to be editing the Slide Master. You recall that I can edit the Slide Master by choosing the View tab, and then clicking on Slide Master. I'll confirm that I have the very first Slide Master selected. And then, from the Insert tab, I'll choose Picture.
From our Assets folder, scan around and look for the TwoTrees-RoundedGreenLogo. Select it and insert it, and there it is. Notice how it appears in the same position on every single layout used in the Slide Master. When I move it, it moves on every single layout. I'm going to go ahead and move it to the lower right-hand corner, right about there. I think it needs to be just a little bit smaller, so I'll use the corner handles to resize it.
Let me zoom in and show you something. Do you notice the white edges around the rounded edges of our logo? That's typical for a logo. We don't want it there. We want it to show the background behind the logo. Remember, the background removal tool. We can use that again here. With my logo selected, I'll use the Picture tools Format tab to select Remove Background. Remember, in this process, I'm selecting the region that I want to keep, which in this case is everything.
Then I'll use the Mark Areas to Keep tool, and I'll create a very long line across almost the entire logo. That gets pretty much everything except for some letters, and I think I'm done. I'll click on Keep Changes. Now I have the logo I want without the white around the edges. At this point, with my logo selected to make it look a little bit nicer, I'm going to select it, choose Picture tools Format.
Under Picture Effects, there are two features that might work here: a Shadow, to make it look, for example, like that, or a Glow. I'll hit Undo Ctrl+Z, and choose Picture Effects > Glow, maybe some purple. Let's zoom away and see how the entire slide looks. Not bad. Finally, to make the Slide Master really stand out, I'm going to add one more graphic. Do you remember that other background that we looked at that was just a little too busy, Background 1? Let's go ahead and add this in. It's too big, yes, and it covers everything up, but we're just getting started.
First, I'm going to use the cropping tool. I'm going to crop out about half of this picture. Notice the new shape is more of a horizontal stripe. You'll recall that our slide background has a Wave theme going through it. I'm going to apply that Wave theme to this current stripe that I've got selected and cropped. From the Crop menu, I'll pull it down and choose Crop to Shape, and one of these shapes happens to be a Wave, which I'll select, so I can see the results.
Here is my new wave background. With my arrow keys or the mouse, I'm going to bring this to the very bottom of our slide, right about there. With my photo still selected, from the Picture tools Format tab, I'm going to click on Send to Back to put it behind the logo and any text that might be there. To finish it off, under Picture Effects, I'm going to add a little bit of a dhadow. There is my new Slide Master. You can see how it's affected every single layout in that Slide Master.
I'll hit Close Master View, and now I can see how this looks overall, with actual content for my presentation. A few things need a little adjusting, but for the most part there has been a significant step forward in the format of my presentation. Also take note that other slide masters remain unaffected. If you happened to notice Slide 8, where we have hands that look like they're now floating around, don't worry, because remember that the presentation slide ends right here. Imagine a horizontal line going across.
In fact, just make sure, we can click on Slide Show, and view show From the Current Slide. There it is. I'll press Escape to return back to Edit mode. We're almost done, but I want to make one more minor adjustment, something that I didn't quite notice until I ran this presentation fullscreen. If I zoom in to the lower right-hand corner, I can see that there is a little bit of artifact where the background shines through the logo.
This is an effect caused by the background removal tool that I showed you earlier. Unfortunately, it was little too aggressive and removed a little bit of my lettering. We're going to go ahead and fix that, real quick. From the View tab, I'm going to go back to my Slide Master, back up to the Slide Master itself, and here is that logo. I select it. Choose Picture Tools Format and Remove Background again. Notice how it brings us exactly back to where we were before.
I can continue to mark new areas to Keep, or Remove, or Delete Marks that I've already created. Let's try adding a new one right across these letters. That looks like it took care of it. I'm going to go ahead and Keep these Changes, and I'm all wrapped up. There were a lot of little steps in this video that brought together what we've learned from past videos, including some new stuff like Send to back, which I will discuss again a little later. When you start to customize your next Slide Master, I hope you put some creativity into it, like I've shown here, and have fun with it.
But never forget two things: that your audience must be able to read your content, and that the design you use must never distract your audience, confuse them, or in any way lead them away from your goal.

Travis Brotze (Pensacola )
Bought this for my 13 Ultra Limited. I love to ride with my backrest installed and with my wife on the back, the backrest would dig into her legs and stomach. With this, she disappears on the back. She has more room to wiggle around therefore increasing our ride time. I haven't had it on long but if you got an ole' lady riding with you, highly recommend. My only concern is how much weight or pressure it can handle but time will tell.
Dan (Oakdale )
What wiring needs to be changed?!
Douglas (Wantage )
Product did the job it was meant for. Thought it was too expensive for what it was but did the job I needed it to do.
Andy (Windsor )
These were easy to install, and once zip-tied, my bags had good clearance from my pipes. I put them on a 2006 Honda Shadow 1100, and the ones sent specifically for my ride fit perfectly. They are very sturdy and the chrome finish looks very professional. As with other reviews, it takes longer to open the package then it does to install them on the bike. Not sure what that's about, but it's still a great product.
Frank (Brandon )
I love the look. Quick easy ordering. Got the product in a few days. Installation was less than 15 minutes.
Michael (Winnipeg )
Looks great. As unfortunately expected, as with most Universal Fit Items, a slight modification had to be done to get it to fit properly. Good investment.

The 21-year-old Brazil international has started all four of the Blues' matches so far this season, scoring in their opening Barclays Premier League fixture at home to Hull.
Mourinho has seemingly put his faith in Oscar despite signing the likes of Marco van Ginkel, Andre Schurrle and Willian, with Kevin De Bruyne also returning to the club after a spell out on loan.
Former Internacional man Oscar is looking to build on an impressive first season in English football and believes he will benefit from the managerial prowess of Mourinho.
"It's been great to work with Jose Mourinho," he told the club's official magazine, Chelsea FC.
"He is one of the best coaches in the world. We have seen he has already had a lot of success at Chelsea and I am just really happy to have the opportunity to work with him.
"You can already see the influence he has had on us during the first few games and I hope the team will be able to continue to grow under him as I will also be able to grow as a player.
"As early as pre-season we could see the belief with which he works. We could see the confidence he has with us as players but also the confidence within his own work. It is clear to us that he is a great coach."
Oscar, who is likely to feature in Brazil's upcoming friendlies against Australia and Portugal, played in Chelsea's 2-1 Europa League final success against Benfica at the end of last season and has the taste for more success this year, with personal targets also in place.
"It's all down to confidence," he said.

Early parental death is associated with lifelong tendencies toward depression and chronic stress. We tested the hypothesis that, early parental death is associated with higher risk for Alzheimer's disease (AD) in offspring.
A population-based epidemiological study of dementia with detailed clinical evaluations, linked to one of the world's richest sources of objective genealogical and vital statistics data.
Home visits with residents of a rural county in northern Utah.
4,108 subjects, aged 65-105.
Multi-stage dementia ascertainment protocol implemented in four triennial waves, yielding expert consensus diagnoses of 570 participants with AD and 3,538 without dementia. Parental death dates, socioeconomic status and parental remarriage after widowhood were obtained from the Utah Population Database, a large genealogical database linked to statewide birth and death records.
Mother's death during subject's adolescence was significantly associated with higher rate of AD in regression models that included age, gender, education, APOE genotype, and socioeconomic status. Father's death before subject age 5 showed a weaker association. In stratified analyses, associations were significant only when the widowed parent did not remarry. Parental death associations were not moderated by gender or APOE genotype. Findings were specific to AD and not found for non-AD dementia.
Parental death during childhood is associated with higher prevalence of AD, with different critical periods for father's vs. mother's death, with strength of these associations attenuated by remarriage of the widowed parent.
Parental death during childhood is often a significant stressor affecting long-term emotional, cognitive, social, spiritual and physical well-being. Bereaved children and adolescents are at increased risk for psychiatric disorders (1) including major depression and posttraumatic stress disorder (2) and alcohol or substance abuse (3) after parental death. Childhood stressors such as early parental death and divorce have been shown to extend into adulthood with increased risk for poorer cardiovascular health (4), pulmonary disease (5) and premature mortality (6). Another, less studied association is between early life adversity and late-life cognitive health and risk for Alzheimer's disease (AD).
Emerging biological evidence suggests that psychological stressors are associated with detrimental effects to brain structures also affected in AD. In animal studies, physical and psychological stressors in rats have been shown to cause death of hippocampal and cortical cells (7). In other animal studies, excess glucocorticoids (and stress) reduced neurogenesis of cells in the dentate gyrus of the hippocampus whereas adrenalectomy increased the proliferation of these cells (8). Human studies have demonstrated that HPA axis dysregulation may be a risk factor for poorer cognitive performance in older persons. Prolonged exposure of older, nondemented individuals to stress is associated with poorer memory performance (9), and increased levels of glucocorticoids are linked with poorer cognitive function (10) and hippocampal atrophy (11).
Such physiological changes from chronic stress undergird psychological experiences that may influence late-life health outcomes via lifelong patterns of emotion regulation and stress responsiveness (12). In a recent review of early-life risk factors for AD, Borenstein and colleagues (13) suggest that neurodegenerative changes may begin decades before clinical disorder and that emergence of AD results from complex interactions between genetics and environmental exposures experienced throughout life.
Childhood parental loss is an early-life stressor that may exert effects throughout the lifespan, as evidenced by its association with increased risk for adulthood depression (14). Such non-normative and traumatic events typically pose the greatest adaptive challenges, especially for individuals with inadequate social and emotional resources to adapt (15). Even with living parents, socioeconomic adversity early in life has been associated with a 2-fold higher rate of AD (16) in offspring. With parental death, socioeconomic adversity may compound with emotional challenges, increasing risk for adulthood depression (14), which has in turn been associated with increased risk for AD (17).
In a sample of elderly Swedes, a 6-fold increase in dementia risk was observed among participants experiencing a parental death before age 16 (18). Similarly, we recently reported a 3-fold increase in dementia risk among participants in Cache County (Utah) who reported paternal death prior to age 5, with a non-significant effect for early maternal death (19). These results are limited by possible survival bias among those who survived and participated in the third study wave, the cross-sectional design, and an unknown degree of recall bias in reported dates of parental death.
With the recent linkage of clinical data from the Cache County Memory Study (CCMS) to the objective Utah Population Database (UPDB), we now report a re-examination of this effect. As was done in a smaller study of 239 AD patient registry cases and matched controls (16), we removed the potential problem of recall bias common in retrospective self-reports of early-life stressors. Sample size more than doubled to over 4,000, extending study of all-cause dementia to an examination of effects on Alzheimer's disease (AD) and non-AD dementia, in order to determine the specificity of early parental death effects. We hypothesized that effects would be stronger for AD dementia than for non-AD dementia, because of evidence linking elevated glucocorticoid levels to hippocampal damage, implicated in the neurodegeneration of AD.
Linkage with the UPDB also permitted the opportunity to test our hypothesis that the effects of early parental death would be robust after adjustment for childhood socioeconomic status. We further hypothesized that the deleterious effects of early parental death would be reduced if the widowed parent remarried when the offspring was still a minor. We also investigated the moderating effect of the e4 allele of APOE, as it has been shown to have a role in other studies of psychosocial stress and AD (11, 16).
In 1995 we asked all elderly (age 65 or older) permanent residents of Cache County to participate in the first wave of the CCMS 5,092 participants (90%) consented. In primary analyses of AD, we excluded 294 cases of non-AD dementia and 189 subjects where cognitive status could not be determined. Additionally, there were 501 subjects with missing data, for a final sample of 4,108 participants, 570 with a diagnosis of AD and 3,538 without dementia. Another 294 subjects were diagnosed with non-AD dementia, 266 of whom had no missing data and were included in secondary analyses to examine specificity of effects. 202 of the 570 AD cases were prevalent and 368 were incident, while 94 of the 266 non-AD dementia cases were prevalent and 172 were incident.
Subjects were 57.4% female; 29.8% had one and 2.7% had two ε4 alleles at APOE. Average (SD) age was 75.7 (7.1) years, and average education was 13.3 (2.9) years.
The CCMS utilized a multi-stage dementia ascertainment protocol described elsewhere (20), repeated in four triennial waves, beginning in 1995. Screening began with an in-person interview that included the Modified Mini-Mental State examination (3MS; 21) and, for those whose 3MS score was below 60 out of 100, also the Informant Questionnaire for Cognitive Decline in the Elderly (22). Participants who screened positive for possible dementia completed an in-depth clinical assessment (CA), as did a 19% sub-sample of "designated controls." Specially trained nurses and psychometric technicians administered the CA, which included a brief physical evaluation, a detailed history of medical and cognitive symptoms, a structured neurological examination, and a one-hour battery of neuropsychological tests.
A geriatric psychiatrist and neuropsychologist reviewed these data; subjects with a working diagnosis of dementia (per DSM-III-R(23)) were selected for psychiatrist examinations and laboratory studies including neuroimaging, and an 18-month follow-up CA. A consensus panel of experts in neurology, geriatric psychiatry, neuropsychology, and cognitive neuroscience reviewed all available data and assigned final consensus diagnoses. Alzheimer's Disease (AD) was diagnosed according to NINCDS-ADRDA criteria (24). Of the 570 diagnosed cases of AD, there were 64 AD cases that were comorbid with vascular dementia (VaD; per NINDS-AIREN criteria (25)), and 25 AD cases that were comorbid with other dementia.
To determine specificity of effects for AD, we also tested associations with non-AD dementia in an additional 266 subjects (not included in the above sample of 4,108) diagnosed with non-AD dementia, 107 with VaD only, 155 with other dementia, and a small group (number suppressed per CMS privacy policy) with a combination of VaD and other dementia.
Time of dementia onset was defined as the year in which a participant unambiguously met DSM-III-R criteria for dementia. The reference category was no dementia (n=3,538), either after CA or negative screening. Because the exposure of interest was immutable and occurred in childhood decades prior to AD risk period, we include here both prevalent and incident AD cases.
Informed consent was obtained for each interview. All procedures were approved by the Institutional Review Boards (IRB) of Utah State University (USU), Duke University, and Johns Hopkins University. UPDB usage was approved by the IRB of USU and the University of Utah, and the Utah Resource for Genetic and Epidemiologic Research.
The UPDB is one of the world's richest sources of linked population-based information for demographic, genetic, epidemiological, and public health studies. It provides access to over 14 million records or documents representing over 7 million individuals (for more details see http://www.hci.utah.edu/groups/ppr). The central component of the UPDB is a vast set of multigenerational Utah family histories. Genealogy records have been linked to cancer records, birth and death certificates, driver license records, and census records.
Parental death dates from the UPDB were extracted from genealogical records and death certificates and compared to subject's birth date, with subject age at paternal/maternal death grouped as: age 0-4 years (birth to preschool), 5-10 years (early childhood), 11-17 years (adolescence), and age 18 or older or subject's father/mother still living (reference category). Using remarriage dates from the UPDB, the 4-level exposure variables were redefined with separate levels depending on whether widowed parent remarried prior to subject age 18 years.
Subject's age, gender, and education were included as covariates. APOE genotypes were determined from buccal DNA using polymerase chain reaction (PCR) amplification and a restriction isotyping method described by Saunders and colleagues (26).
Childhood socioeconomic status was based on "usual occupation" on the father's death certificate, using a methodology developed by Nam & Powers (NP-SES) (27). This method uses Census-wide information about the association between education and income, as they relate to individual occupations. Higher NP-SES has been found to be negatively associated with mortality risks for both men and women (28). Because a large number of subjects had missing NP-SES scores, we coded SES into four discrete categories, including farmer (the most common), NP-SES score: lower SES than farmer, greater SES than farmer, or missing. An alternative SES measure used mean imputation for missing values.
Because later motherhood has been associated with mitochondrial DNA dysfunction and higher risk of Alzheimer's disease in offspring (29) and later fatherhood associated with decreased learning capacity in offspring (30), reduced fetal viability in offspring of older parents is a potential confound. Therefore, we separately examined maternal and paternal ages at subject's birth.
Logistic regression analyses examined associations between early paternal death and early maternal death and AD, considered singly then together, after adjustment for covariates. Differential effects by participant gender and presence of the e4 allele at APOE were tested with two-way interaction between exposure, and gender and presence of e4 allele, respectively. A second set of models investigated effects of remarriage of widowed parents. A final model included both expanded parental death variables and all covariates. In secondary analyses, similar models were run to examine effect of early maternal and paternal death on risk for non-AD dementia. Secondary analyses were also conducted including only prevalent, then including only incident cases.
The final sample of 4,108 participants included those experiencing early maternal death at age 0-4 years (n=87), 5-10 years (n=99), 11-17 years (n=108), while early paternal death included participants who experienced paternal death at age 0-4 years (n=69), 5-10 years (n=122), 11-17 years (n=174; Table 1). Subject's education, mother's and father's age at subject's birth, and AD diagnosis in late life were associated with early maternal death and early paternal death, with subject's age at baseline interview associated with early maternal death (Table 1).
In an initial model, older age, female gender, and one or two copies of the APOE e4 allele were associated with greater risk for AD, while education was non-significant (Table 2). After covariate adjustments, the overall association between early paternal death and AD diagnosis in late life was marginal, with paternal death before subject age 5 linked to a doubling in prevalence of AD. Mother's death during adolescence was likewise associated with more than double the prevalence of AD. The final model adjusted for (categorical) Nam-Powers SES, which was not significantly associated with AD. Further, after SES adjustment, associations for both mother's death and father's death were virtually identical (similar results for SES adjustment using mean imputation, not shown). Additional models (not shown) adjusted for number of siblings, where associations for both mother death and father death were likewise virtually unchanged.
In separate models (not shown), participant gender was tested as potential moderator of mother's death and father's death associations with late-life diagnosis of AD. Gender did not moderate either association (Wald=4.22, df=3, p=.239; Wald=2.651, df=3, p=.449, gender interactions, respectively). Similarly, presence of the e4 allele did not moderate these associations (Wald=1.98, df=5, p=.851; Wald=8.06, df=6, p=.234, respectively). In models including only incident cases, and then only prevalent cases (not shown), results were essentially unchanged. Mother's death and father's death were not associated with non-AD dementia risk (models not shown; Wald=3.01, df=3, p=.391; Wald=3.97, df=3, p=.264, respectively, full model). Thus, associations between early parental loss and dementia were specific to AD.
We explored lifetime history of major depression as partial evidence that childhood bereavement may generate stress with lasting emotional, developmental and physiologic impacts. Subjects with maternal death during adolescence had lifetime prevalence of major depression of 30%, while those exposed at ages younger than 11 years and those with maternal death in adulthood each had major depression prevalence of 23%. This association did not reach statistical significance (χ2=2.645, df=2, p=.266).
Separate models (not shown) were computed to examine older parental age at subject's birth, potentially resulting in heightened risk for chronic diseases such as AD later in life. In simple bivariate models, both maternal age (OR=1.02, Wald=5.71, df=1, p=.017) and paternal age (OR=1.01, Wald=5.46, df=1, p=.019) at subject's birth were associated with higher rates of AD. However, when tested for their association with AD net of maternal and paternal death, both maternal age (OR=1.01, Wald=.699, df=1, p=.403) and paternal age (OR=1.00, Wald=.00, df=1, p=.966) at subject's birth were no longer associated with AD. However, the associations between mother death during subject's adolescence (OR=2.27, Wald=10.218, df=1, p=.001) and father's death before subject age 5 (OR=2.10, Wald=5.32, df=1, p=.021) with AD remained robust after adjustment for parental ages at subject's birth.
In additional models, we tested the seven-category exposure variable (paternal death and maternal death with/without remarriage of widowed parent during remaining years of subject's childhood). In the final model with this expanded exposure variable, paternal death was no longer associated with AD (Table 3). However, maternal death during subject's adolescence was associated with a higher rate of AD when the widowed father did not remarry.
Our sample included a small number (n=27) of subjects whose mother and father both died during subject's childhood. In exploratory analyses, orphanhood was not associated with higher rate of AD (OR=1.59, Wald=0.78, df=1, p=.378).
In this population-based study of Alzheimer's disease, we capitalized on a rich genealogical and vital statistics database to re-examine associations between parental death during childhood and risk of AD during late life. The use of the vital statistics data base removed recall bias as a potential confound. Mother's death during offspring adolescence was uniquely associated with more than double the risk of AD, with attenuated effects if the widowed father remarried, with equivalent correlations for sons and daughters. Controlling for socioeconomic status at the time of the parent's death did not attenuate the association. A similar result was found for father's death during the first five years of life, but this was marginal with overall effect not reaching statistical significance after covariate adjustments.
Our findings were specific to AD, with no association between parental death and non-AD dementia. Clément et al (31) reported significant associations between childhood, marital and work-related life events and all-cause dementia status, but found no differences in reported histories of these life events between dementia subtypes of AD, frontotemporal dementia and vascular dementia, however, this study had few cases (n=25, n=17, and n=12, respectively) Other studies focused entirely on AD (12, 13) or on all-cause dementia (16, 17), so AD vs. non-AD effects were not presented. While others have reported that associations between early life socioeconomic adversity (i.e. unskilled laborer occupation and large family size) and AD were significantly greater for e4 positive individuals (12, 13), we found no interaction with APOE genotype.
While childhood maternal death can be traumatic and potentially have long-term consequences regardless of its timing, our key finding is the correlation between mother's death during adolescence and AD. Adolescence is a period of physical and psychological turbulence and adolescents with ready emotional support and coping strategies generally experience healthier bereavement outcomes (32). Adolescent self-esteem has been shown to be a significant mediator between parental bereavement stress and internalizing and externalizing mental health problems (33). Bereaved adolescents may also experience feelings of being alone and alienated, even if support from others is not actively sought (34). Born in an era and living in a community that may have held to more traditional gender roles, maternal death would have deprived the adolescent of the parent with primary role in childrearing and emotional support. However, the mechanisms by which this association operates are likely complex, given the multiplicity of effects of maternal (and paternal) death on contextual factors such as the immediate and broader environment (e.g. nuclear family, extended family, school, church and neighborhood supports) as potential moderators.
The association we observed between paternal death in the first five years of life and AD is consistent with the observation that this is a period of extraordinary development that may be sensitive to such dramatic loss events. Another potential mechanism for higher levels of perceived stress and ultimately greater physiological burden is through fear of abandonment, shown to mediate the relation between child stressors and subsequent mental health problems in parentally bereaved children (35).
Early parental death may impact socioeconomic status (SES) due to income loss (and possibly higher medical expenses incident to the deceased parent's condition). These in turn can affect offspring nutrition, quality of housing, access to medical care, all of which may have implications for later adulthood health outcomes. We therefore adjusted for childhood SES and found that associations between early parental death and AD were robust. This suggests that these associations were not entirely mediated by early life economic losses. However, our SES adjustment was limited by a large proportion of subjects with missing SES. Rather than remove these cases, we analyzed them as a separate group, in addition to using mean imputation (the latter performed better than more sophisticated imputation methods in a recent study by Paul et al (36; page 20). The majority of respondents were farmers, so results might differ in populations with more SES heterogeneity.
Another limitation of the study is the lack of information on subjects who were lost to follow-up or developed dementia before age 65 and therefore were not part of the study. Because early parental death is associated with increased mortality risk (6), our results may be a conservative estimate of effects. Similarly, the lack of data on parental causes of death does not allow an examination of a potential contribution of familial/constitutional factors other than stress such as cardiovascular health.
We examined lifetime depression history and found a slightly higher (though non-significant) depression rate in subjects exposed to maternal death during adolescence, compared to maternal death at younger or older ages. Given that anxiety and personality factors may also provide evidence of stress, similar comparisons would have been desirable, however, such data were not available.
Strengths of this study include the use of a large, population-based sample, which has been shown to have less selection bias than clinic-based samples where participants are seeking treatment (37). Clinical evaluation for dementia, and many years of follow-up, are additional strengths. The high participation rate also helps reduces non-responder bias (38). One of this study's greatest strengths is elimination of exposure recall bias through use of objective records.
The present study provides further evidence that the traumatic event of parental death during childhood is associated with higher rates of AD in late life. Of particular note is the finding that the strength of association between mother's or father's death and AD depends on timing within childhood of the parent's death, and that effects are stronger when the widowed parent does not remarry. This finding extends our prior work by demonstrating that this association is specific to AD, and argues for additional studies of mechanisms.
Depression--one indicator of maladaption to stressors--has been associated with a doubling in risk for dementia (39). Thus, depression and other distress proneness indicators, may have independent modifying effects on the stressor/dementia association. Future studies should investigate interactions between early life stressors and depression (before and after stressor exposure) on subsequent dementia risk. In this sample, the modestly higher rate of major depression is insufficient to infer that this early life event precipitated chronic stress universally across all persons so exposed. Indeed, acute and chronic stressors are not experienced uniformly by all persons. Since there is wide variation in the subjective interpretation of stressors and on coping resources across individuals, future studies of the associations reported here should investigate subjective stress, a potentially modifiable variable, as a moderator.
The present study does not provide evidence about possible physiologic mechanisms, nor does it clarify whether these associations derive from post-developmental injury or early-life dispositional styles. Future research should examine stress-related biomarkers to determine which biological pathways most strongly mediate stressor/AD associations observed here.
Although early-life parental death, is not easily modifiable, establishing a clear link between psychosocial adversity and increased vulnerability to AD in critical stages of development (40) will aid in the identification of at-risk individuals for more targeted interventions. Effective interventions may reduce the perception of stress and the intensity of the body's physiological stress response and vulnerability to neurodegenerative diseases such as AD.

Washington Fair 1963 was 50 long years ago but after some thought not too long ago since time has a knack of being fleeting. Memories of the 1963 Fair can be restored. We took a look at the 1963 Missourian to refresh our memory, and a lot of what happened returned to our recall.
That was the Fair that received negative publicity in the St. Louis Post-Dispatch. The newspaper reported that a race riot occurred. It was a gross exaggeration. There was a slight incident involving some whites and blacks. It didn't amount to much. There were no arrests. No one was hurt. It was as minor as they come. Yet the newspaper expanded it to call it a riot. In a front page editorial, The Missourian called the published story "irresponsible reporting," and harmful to journalism in general.

The nonlinear distortions of a directly modulated laser diode applied to AM-VSB lightwave CATV systems are studied from the viewpoint of rate equations. A simple method for calculating composite second-order distortion (CSO) is proposed, which is called the quasidynamic approach. The contribution to nonlinearity from fiber dispersion and laser chirping is also discussed. The dependences on the variations of parameters of rate equations are investigated to determine the dominant factor for CSO degradation. This approach explains quite well the experimental results and suggests a method for constructing a predistortion circuit with at least 10 dB improvement

BABYSECUR, Seguridad para tus niños
At BABYSECUR we understand that your loved one's safety is your biggest concern
That is why we have developed a system that is 100% adaptable to any pool fencing situation without compromising safety, pool access or landscaping requirements. Our factory trained technicians will assist you to determine the safest and most convenient layout for your fence.
Your children's safety is BABYSECUR's biggest concern too.
Removable pool fences were developed in the USA 40 years ago to address the risks for toddlers, young children and pets that a fast expanding residential swimming pool market posed.
Available in 1mt and 1.22mt hight as CTE requirements.
We offer several heights and colours to fulfill any safety and landscaping requirements.
Our Textilene ® mesh offers a transparency that almost matches glass, so the fence is unobstrusive and pleasant to look through, allowing the supervision of children from outside the fenced area.
Swimming pools are fun they but also pose a big risk for small children. In this section you will find tips on how to prevent domestic accidents and how to respond should one happen.
Swimming pool fences are the safest measure to prevent drownings for they are a physical barrier between the patio or garden and the area of risk.
BABYSECUR offers the safest fencing available and it is also the most convenient.
It is easily removable and allows unrestricted access the pool while being visually pleasant too. In the last 15 years we introduced many improvements that make our fences safer, more convenient and simpler to operate than any alternative fencing products.

We are sometimes at a loss to know why difficulty is permitted in our lives; however, God has not promised us lives of ease. As a matter of fact, God allows such things to happen that we might be awakened to our need to live in greater dependence upon Him, and in due time God will reveal His greater purposes in our lives.
We trust you will allow these trials to be a means of leading you to make a personal commitment of your life to Christ as Savior and Lord (Romans 4:5, Ephesians 2:8-9, and John 1:12) or of drawing you closer to Him. Then you will find that His comfort and love will more than meet your need; read Ephesians 3:20.
Never feel that God has forsaken you, for He is unchanging in His love and grace. The Bible says, "Never will I leave you; never will I forsake you" (Hebrews 13:5b). Remember, His love is constant and everlasting, as God has revealed to us in the gift of His only begotten Son, Jesus Christ. May your faith be grounded in Christ Himself that you may know His will (James 1:5, 3:17).
Why does God seem to hate me. Please do not tell me He does not, because if He did not, he would have helped me by now. I have prayed and prayed and prayed and I keep coming up empty handed. I just need some kind of light of hope, but thtat is gone. My life is so horrible, I have contemplated just ending it all. I have lost everyone of my family. I am now about to lose all the material things: car, apartment, health insurance, everything. I am being left with nothing, because He took my parents away, and now because of that I have lost my job. I have prayed and prayed for some kind of financial miracle and nothing. In the meantime He blesses people with millions and millions. To be quite honest there really is no point in living.
People Think I should be grateful for the things I have, which I am grateful for. But being grateful doesn't make me happy and that's why people are calling me selfish. I don't have anything compared to my friends, and that's why I'm in this constant miserable state.
Thank you for helping me help others God bless all of you
I know that Christ loves me – that's what makes it harder to understand when things go the wrong way.
Please help me Pray for Strenght.
thank you Lord Jesus, I praise you and call out to you to hear my prayers
Am blessed
Lord I need strength to believe. My faith is weary.

East German anthem with English translation
The sudden fall of the Communism in Eastern Europe caught Western leaders and the CIA off guard . As late as 1988, West Germany's chancellor, Helmut Kohl, said he doubted he would see German Unification in his lifetime and $151 million had been spent on a new parliament building in Bonn, begun only in 1986. By the late 80s, East Germany and Romania were the last of the hard-line Socialist states. The intrusive nature of the secret police, with 1 in 7 adults being a government informer, special privileges for the party elites and the obvious material wealth and freedom beamed from West German tv stations and growing economic stagnation , Gorbachev's renunciation of the Brezhnev Doctrine and Glasnost reforms were some of the major factors leading to East German collapse by 1989.

Miracle Berry: How Sweet Is It?
What can you tell me about the "miracle fruit"? Does it help with weight loss or food cravings?
Answer (Published 9/8/2008)
Miracle fruit is a longtime favorite of mine. It is a berry from a shrubby tree native to West Africa, now widely cultivated in Florida that has the effect of making sour foods taste sweet. It can make lemon juice and water taste like lemonade and is enjoying a burst of popularity as a novelty at parties in New York and San Francisco.

Weil Vitamin Advisor for Supplements and Herbs - If you are interested in supplementing your diet, and want to take the mystery out of choosing vitamins, try the Weil Vitamin Advisor. Visit today for your free, personalized recommendation.
The scientific name of miracle fruit is Synsepalum dulcificum, and its effect is due to a protein - miraculin - that binds with sweet receptors in taste buds to make them respond to sour acidic foods.
You just have to suck on a single berry to get the effect, which can last up to an hour. But it can be a costly experience - one berry can cost $2.50, and according to the New York Times, 30 of them shipped overnight from Florida will run you $90. If you buy 30, you've got only a short time to invite all your friends to a tasting party, since the berries do not keep. They quickly turn brown and unappealing.
The unique effects of miracle fruit have been known to westerners since the 18th century, when a French explorer came across them in Africa and saw natives eating berries before they dined on gruel and drank palm wine.
I always thought it would be great to make a lozenge out of miracle fruit so you could cut down on sugar. Unfortunately, efforts in the United States to convert the fruit into a powder and a tablet ceased in the 1970s when the FDA decided that the product was a food additive that would need years of testing before it could be marketed. No such limitation applies to the fresh berries.
In 2005 the Guardian, a British newspaper, reported on a café in Tokyo that served bland dietetic foods plus miracle berries. Reportedly, the results were delicious, if pricey, low-cal treats.
