Barney Corkhill's 'A Tribute To...' series moves to boxing. In this series, I'll look at the true greats and legends of various sports.
Today's tribute is to the man who revolutionised boxing. He was, and still is, the most well-known boxer ever, and he is one of the most popular as well. His combination of speed and power made him a fearsome competitor, and his charm, wit, and confidence only added to his legend.
I speak, of course, of the great Muhammad Ali.
On January 17, 1942, Odessa Grady Clay and Cassius Clay Sr. celebrated the birth of Cassius Marcellus Clay Jr., who would later become known as Muhammad Ali.
He was brought up in Louisville, Kentucky, and from a young age, it became evident that he was something special. His speed and reactions were such that he often challenged his younger brother, Rudy, to throw rocks at him, all of which he dodged.
In October 1954, Clay had his bike stolen. The 12-year-old found a police officer, Joe Martin, who decided to re-direct Clay's anger at losing his bike, and desire to gain retribution, into the boxing ring.
Martin trained young boxers at a local gym and invited Clay to come along. It wasn't long before Clay was in the ring, and he was immediately found winning ways, beating his first ever opponent, Ronnie O'Keefe, by a split decision.
While Martin was still training Clay, he soon found himself another, more experienced trainer, while still working with Martin. He did this to improve his boxing skills, but also to keep the $4 a fight he was earning from Martin.
In 1956, Cassius Clay Jr. was becoming a very effective light-heavyweight. He won the novice Golden Gloves Championship in that year. In 1959, after more years of climbing up the ranks, Clay won the Golden Gloves Tournament of Champion, and the National AAU light-heavyweight championship.
Clay was becoming a major name in amateur boxing. In 1960, he was confirmed as part of the USA team for the Olympics. Still fighting at light-heavyweight, Clay only just got to Rome.
His fear of flying almost prevented him going to the Olympics, but he was eventually persuaded. He still wasn't 100 percent sure, however, and actually brought a parachute onto the plane with him.
It proved to be well worth it. He won gold in Rome, beating Polish fighter Zbigniew Pietrzkowski in the final. His personality was beginning to get noticed as well. His dominant persona and confidence earned him the nickname "The Mayor of the Olympic Village," despite being 18-years old.
Despite this, however, Clay was refused service in a segregated restaurant back in USA, and so he reportedly threw his Olympic gold medal into the Ohio river.
Not to be deterred by this, Clay soon turned professional and won his first pro bout against police chief Tunney Hunsaker.
Clay was beginning to get noticed, due to his unorthodox fighting style, which relied on quick feet to avoid punches rather than good defence to block them. As he fought a few more bouts, he was beginning to get noticed for his mouth as much as his hands.
He often made up rhymes about his opponents or fights, and sometimes, including in his first ever overseas fight against Henry Cooper, he predicted not only that he was going to knock his opponent out, but said what round he was going to do it. He was rarely wrong.
By 1964, Clay has amassed a record of 19-0 and was set to face the dangerous Sonny Liston for the heavyweight championship.
Before the fight, a war of words emerged between the two. This led Cassius Clay to say the now immortal phrase "I will float like a butterfly and sting like a bee, your hands can't hit what your eyes can't see".
Clay won the fight after Liston failed to answer the bell for the seventh round.
It was after this fight that Cassius Clay announced that he was a member of the Nation of Islam, and was changing his name to Muhammad Ali. This caused controversy around the champion, as Americans viewed the Nation of Islam with suspicion.
In 1966, the U.S. Army revised the tests needed to conscript people into the army. These revision made Muhammad Ali eligible for the Army, whereas before he wasn't. Ali, however, claimed that, being a member of the Nation of Islam, he wasn't allowed to fight in the ongoing Vietnam War.
He continued to fight in the ring, and continued to win, beating Americans, British, and Germans along the way. His fight against Cleveland Williams in 1966 has been described as Ali's greatest performance.
In 1967, the prematch war of words turned ugly when Ali's opponent Terrell called him "Clay." The resulting fight was a brutal punishment, summed up in the words of Tex Maule "It was a wonderful demonstration of boxing skill and a barbarous display of cruelty."
After being ordered to attend an induction ceremony for the U.S. Army, Ali refused to step forward when his name was called. He did this a further two times, committing a felony punishable by five years imprisonment. Ali didn't move.
As a direct result, Ali was stripped of his championship and banned from boxing for three-and-a-half years. He was originally sentenced to five years in prison as well, but after numerous appeals, that decision was overturned.
Three years after his ban, Muhammad Ali made his much anticipated comeback against Jerry Quarry. Ali knocked him out in three rounds. Oscar Bonavena followed for Ali, and he stopped him in the 15th round.
That paved the way for a super-fight against the undefeated champion Joe Frazier. It was dubbed "The Fight of the Century". Both were undefeated, and both felt they deserved the title.
It was Joe Frazier who ultimately came out on top, winning on a unanimous decision, and, in the process, dealing Ali his first ever professional loss. Still, he bagged a record $2.5 million for the fight, which exceeded even the hype that surrounded it.
He didn't give up after that loss, however. In fact, he came back stronger, winning his next 10 fights before he faced Ken Norton. In something of a surprise result, Norton beat Ali, to inflict his second professional defeat. Ali bounced back again, however, beating Norton in a re-match just a few months later.
In 1974, Ali faced Joe Frazier in a re-match of the Fight of the Century. Frazier was no longer the champion, having been beaten by George Foreman. Ali v Frazier II wasn't quite as big as their first one, but for Ali it provided some revenge, as he triumphed on a points decision.
Next came the fight against George Foreman. Foreman was the clear favourite going into the fight, having knocked out both Frazier and Norton, the two men who had beaten Ali, within two rounds. The fight was dubbed "The Rumble in the Jungle."
Foreman was a notorious big hitter and was younger than Ali. Few gave the self-proclaimed "Greatest" a chance. However, Ali shocked the world again. His tactics were perfect, as he first attacked Foreman, then used his "rope-a-dope" tactics to tire Foreman out physically and mentally.
Against all the odds, Muhammad Ali had climbed back to the top of the mountain. Many challengers wanted to knock him down, but none could.
Eventually, he came back up against Joe Frazier. It was a much anticipated battle between two of the all-time great heavyweights. Ali v Frazier III (dubbed "The Thrilla in Manilla"), was one of the best battles in the history of the sport.
Ali had expected an easy fight, but Frazier gave him everything. The fight eventually ended when Frazier didn't answer the bell for the 15th round, as his eyes were swollen shut, giving Ali the win.
Over the next few years, Ali continued to fight, amid growing speculation and concerns about his welfare and health. People were worried what the long-term effects of continuing to box would have on Ali.
But he kept on fighting, and won his next six fights after the Frazier fight, including the third of a trilogy against Ken Norton.
In 1978, Ali took on a young Leon Spinks. It was a veteran against a relative newcomer, but Ali lost through a split decision. Still refusing to quit, Ali took on Spinks again seven months later, this time winning, in the process becoming the first ever three-time heavyweight champion.
In June 1979, Muhammad Ali retired.
Despite continued fears over his health, Ali returned to the ring in 1980 to face Larry Holmes. The result was hard to watch for anyone who remembered Ali in his prime. Holmes destroyed Ali in a one sided fight, and it was described as an "execution, not a fight."
He still wasn't done, however, as he took on Trevor Berbick in 1981, again losing. After this fight, he once again retired from boxing, this time for good.
In his illustrious career, Ali was named Fighter of the Year by Ring Magazine more than any other fighter, and was involved in more Ring Magazine Fight of the Year than anyone else.
He has been named as the Sportsman of the Century by both Sports Illustrated and the BBC.
His overall career stats are 61 fights, 56 wins (37 by KO), and five losses.
A true great of boxing, and of sport, this has been a tribute to Muhammad Ali.

Kayaking the St. Johns river
Michelle Thatcher heads out on the St. Johns river near Geneva on a kayak. Although the St. Johns was one of the very first rivers in North America to be explored by Europeans, very few, if any, people have paddled the entire length of it in modern times. Over the last few months, Thatcher has navigated the river from its headwaters to its ocean confluence by herself in a 14-foot kayak.RICARDO RAMIREZ BUXEDA, ORLANDO SENTINEL

Filmmaker turns to kickstart.com to raise money for editing, post production of 'Finding Sandler'
"We decided to go to Adam's hometown in Manchester, N.H. to get more information about him for the film," Cohen said. "After that, once I heard he was coming to L.A. for the 'Chuck and Larry' premiere, my friends and family helped raise and contribute money so I could film meeting him. I had a meeting set up with his agent, but that was cancelled, although I did have a brief conversation with him in person, but never did get that drink," Cohen said.

AbstractThis paper analyzes the educational impact of the OpenOrbiter Small Spacecraft Development Initiative, a CubeSat development program underway at the University of North Dakota. OpenOrbiter includes traditional STEM activities (e.g., spacecraft engineering, software development); it also incorporates students from non-STEM disciplines not generally involved in aerospace engineering projects such as management, entrepreneurship, education and fine arts. The value of the program to participants is analyzed quantitatively, in terms of improvement related to five key learning objectives.
Keywords: problem-based learning; experiential learning; small spacecraft development; interdisciplinary education

High Frequency Ultrasound (HIFU)
Dear OncoLink "Ask The Experts,"
I have recently heard about HIFU treatments for prostate cancer. What can you tell me about this?
Richard Whittington, MD, Associate Professor of Radiation Oncology at the University of Pennsylvania School of Medicine, responds:
This technique uses focused ultrasound to heat small segments of the prostate. Hyperthermia units with similar heating effects were tried in the past and failed, but this new approach may be better.
In the US, there has only been one completed Phase I trial investigating whether or not this technique is safe. A Phase II study to evaluate the effectiveness of this treatment has not yet started. The Japanese and European reports look good, but they both excluded patients that didn't "heat well", which happens in about 5-10% of patients in most series. The studies don't score these cases as treatment failures, even though they started the procedure and the patient wasn't cured -- which in my mind is still a treatment failure. The study researchers also needed to take half of the patients back for a second procedure, but they don't count that as treatment failure either, even though the first procedure did not cure the patient.
With all of this, the median follow-up of survivors in most series is less than 18 months, which is too short to evaluate long-term control of the tumor. The HIFU company claims that this technique works best in stage T1c or T2a tumors, with poor results in T2b and T2c cancers. There are also somewhat better results with a PSA <10 as opposed to PSA >20. There did not appear to be a Gleason score effect on outcomes. The toxicity in most series is low. However, prostate cancers typically arise in the periphery of the gland, so the ultrasound has to heat to that distance without burning the tissue 1 or 2 mm further out. It may play a role in recurrences after radiation therapy or cryotherapy, but its role in primary therapy is unproven as of yet.

DJ Jones
Click for larger image
The offers for DL DJ Jones of East Mississippi JC continue to roll in with Clemson and Georgia the newest. Clemson's offer came Monday from defensive coordinator Brent Venables.
"He said they are losing six defensive linemen and I can come in and have a chance to play," said Jones who grew up a Clemson fans while attending Wren High School. But the Tigers didn't recruit him in high school.
Despite getting that offer, Jones said he wasn't tempted to commit quickly. "It was more happy than to pull the trigger," he said. "I know to keep them in my top five, my top ten whenever I go down the list."
Jones also has offers from USC, Alabama, Tennessee, Florida State, Ole Miss, Southern Cal, Mississippi State, Oklahoma State, Kentucky, Arkansas and LSU. Jones plans to take in some spring practices when he gets home for his spring break next week.
He plans to formulate his top ten soon and he expects Clemson and USC to be on that list. There are no favorites at this point.
Jones had 49 tackles with 8 sacks last season.

Around 1712 the Tuscarora tribe settled in the northern part of the town. Their fortified village, Ouaquaga, was an outpost of the British Colonies. Colonial forces destroyed the village in 1778. Outsiders first settled the region around 1785. The Town of Windsor was formed in 1807, the year following the formation of Broome County. The town was reduced in size by the formation of two other new towns in 1821: Sanford and Colesville. In 1851, a small part of Windsor was used to help form the Town of Conklin.

It was a beautiful June afternoon. The weather was perfect, and the town was unusually busy. People were roaming the town's numerous shops, and children were playing baseball in the middle of the square. But to Claudia, the day was just as any other, one where she would continue to suffer. And one where she would continue to search for something that may not even exist.
Claudia is a werewolf. She has been for nearly ninety years. She lives with the burden every day, and she cannot escape it. Since she was turned, she has traveled in pack with two companions, Peter, the man who turned her. And Jon, a man that Claudia had turned in a fit of anger during a brief vampire war over 40 years ago. Together they voyage the country, searching out and running from certain evils, such as vampires and other ungodly kinds of the world. She hates what she is, but she has no other visible option.
Claudia stepped out of the shower and wrapped a towel around herself. She was finally getting used to the old, leaky apartment. They had been in Riverview for nearly a month. The town was in Pennsylvania, coincidentally very close to where she grew up as a child over one hundred years ago. The town is completely different then it was, she was surprised to hear that it still even existed. She got dressed and went into the kitchen to make coffee. That is when she heard a sound. It was a very low banging sound; she was surprised she even heard it in the first place. She first thought that it was her neighbors. Then she heard it again, louder this time, and coming from the wall facing outside.
She stepped into the living room, and just as she entered, she saw a gloved hand smash into the window. The glass shattered like an explosion; and she couldn't see what happened next until it was too late. A man promptly jumped through the broken window and kicked her onto her side. She was caught off guard; she wasn't prepared for a personal attack. She quickly got herself up and tried her best to think through all of what just happened. The intruder wasted no time, he went for another kick, but she caught his leg and pushed him back into the lightwood coffee table. She directly went for the floor lamp next to the doorway; she tried to swing it downward but he grabbed the lamp and yanked it from her. Confusion overwhelmed her, and she didn't know what to do. She ducked when he swung the lamp at her as he was getting up, he swung it again and missed; she then kicked him in his stomach, and fell back again. Exhaustion was setting in on the man.
She urgently ran into the kitchen and stood next to the doorway. She waited for what seemed like decades, but was only seconds. All she could think about was Peter; he should be here by now. As the intruder stepped in, she kicked him on his side with immense force. She still didn't feel like she could do any of this, but somehow she managed. He stumbled back, and quickly composed himself for battle. He swung a kick and barely missed her as she jumped up and away from him. She came around him fast and jammed her elbow into his gut.

We are looking for a 14U pitcher and catcher that is wanting more time on the mound. Over the last few years we have been a "All-Star" team comprised of our best 12 from the Scott County league. With the changing of the NSA and lack of tournaments for 'Rec" teams, we ended up playing in all travel tournaments last year and did well. We need another pitcher and catcher that can play another position if needed. The player will need to sign up in our league at www.scgys.com and be 13/14 years old. We have great coaches and a great group of kids moving up from last year that are good players. Get more experience by playing in our league.

South Canterbury cancer patients are being sent to Dunedin
for treatment because of pressure on the Christchurch
radiation service.
Canterbury District Health Board chief executive David Meates
said eight South Canterbury patients had been referred to
Dunedin for radiation treatment since November.
Growing demand for cancer treatment in the upper South
Island, reduced Ministry of Health waiting times and more
sophisticated treatments had increased pressure on the
Christchurch facility.
Southern District Health Board patient services director
Lexie O'Shea said the new linear accelerator installed last
year at Dunedin Hospital allowed the service to absorb extra
She said the Christchurch facility signalled late last year
it was ''unable to meet their current demand'', and the flow
of patients would continue until about 2018.
The hospital was also receiving a trickle of patients from
Australia, for a rare form of eye melanoma radiation
treatment, because of an equipment breakdown in Melbourne.
Since last August, three patients had been referred from
Australia to Dunedin, which was one of only six centres in
the world to perform the treatment.

Strawberry Angel Food Cake
- Yield: Makes one 10-inch cake
Source: Martha Stewart Living, July/August
- 1 1/2 cups sifted cake flour (not self-rising)
- 12 large egg whites
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 1/2 teaspoons cream of tartar
- 1 3/4 cups sifted granulated sugar
- 1 1/2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
- 1/2 teaspoon pure almond extract
- Macerated strawberries, for serving
Preheat oven to 275 degrees with rack in center. Sift flour four times. In the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with the whisk attachment, or with a flat wire whisk, beat egg whites and salt until foamy. Add cream of tartar, and continue beating until soft peaks form.
With machine running, add sugar in a slow, steady stream, beating until fully incorporated and stiff glossy peaks form. Add vanilla and almond extracts, and beat to combine.
Remove from mixer. Gradually add flour, gently but thoroughly folding it into egg-white mixture until fully combined. Pour into an ungreased angel-food-cake pan. Cut through batter with a knife to remove air bubbles. Bake 30 minutes. Increase temperature to 325 degrees. Bake 30 minutes more. Cool, inverted, 1 hour before removing pan. Serve with macerated berries.

Description: Mickey Prohaska is a small-time insurance agent looking for a way to jump-start his business, reunite with his estranged wife and escape the frigid Wisconsin weather. This self-proclaimed master of spin believes that salesmanship is about selling a story - all he needs is a sucker willing to buy it. He hits pay dirt with a lonely retired farmer who is sitting on something much bigger than an insurance commission. But Mickey's attempt to con the old man spins out of control when a nosy, unstable locksmith with a volatile temper dramatically ups the stakes, trapping him in a madcap spiral of danger, deceit and double-crossing.

Rhetoric vs. ideas
Published: Monday, January 30, 2006 at 9:46 a.m.
Last Modified: Monday, January 30, 2006 at 9:46 a.m.
When Public Service Commissioner Foster Campbell recently launched his radio ad commercials, it was probably the unofficial commencement of the 2007 gubernatorial campaign. Campbell has made no secret of the fact that he wants to be governor. He is spending a relatively small amount of money on radio in an attempt to goad the incumbent governor into including a huge oil and gas processing tax in her Call for the Special Session that will soon begin.
Campbell has fashioned his political career after that of Huey Long, right down to his election to the Public Service Commission. His obsession with a huge oil and gas tax is also right out of the Kingfish's playbook. Interestingly, in the last governor's race, Buddy Leach used the processing tax as a central theme in his campaign. He spent not $50,000 promoting the idea, but $10 million. It didn't do him much good. Leach found out that promoting a huge tax on one of the major job-producing sectors of our economy flies in the face of the public's concern about having enough jobs to keep our young people from moving out of state. Leach didn't fare too well in his campaign filled with big tax and anti-business themes. Campbell obviously hasn't learned from Leach's experience.
Unfortunately for Campbell, he is a one-note singer. His whole focus is on "taxing foreign oil," because that is a great demagogic sound bite that doesn't withstand economic scrutiny. What is his plan for education reform, tax reform, the red ink of the state retirement systems, Medicaid and Charity Hospital reform? The answer is always the same from Foster Campbell: Pass the processing tax, and that money alone will solve our problems. He gives no vision for correcting systemic problems and deficiencies in state government, only the lame claim that targeting a major job-producing industry with a smothering tax will be the salvation of Louisiana. Some have asked Campbell, if his processing tax is such a good idea, why haven't other oil and gas producing states done it? The feeble response he gives is that the other states are waiting for Louisiana to take the lead on the issue.
There are several problems with Foster Campbell's "salvation" for Louisiana. First, the processing tax would not "tax foreign oil." The tax is only applied once there is some "processing" of the oil or gas inside Louisiana. Venezuela and Libya aren't going to get a tax due notice from the Louisiana Department of Revenue. Only those who consume the oil and gas after it is processed to some extent in Louisiana would have to pay the tax. That means any hydrocarbon product taxed under Campbell's "vision" will be at a competitive price disadvantage with similar products from other states.
Campbell tends to dismiss legal arguments against the constitutionality of the tax, arguments that strongly question whether the courts would allow the pass-through of the tax to consumers in other states. But there is one place where Campbell's huge tax absolutely could be collected, and that is inside the confines of Louisiana. If the tax ever would pass, it would ensure higher energy prices for Louisiana consumers and businesses, and higher feedstock prices for our manufacturers-not at all what our devastated economy needs for recovery.
Foster Campbell is a master of rhetoric. Unfortunately, Louisiana doesn't need rhetoric. We need a leader with a vision for creating jobs, not driving them away in droves. Campbell's obsession with a multi-billion-dollar tax is a recipe for more misery, not economic salvation.
Dan Juneau is president of the Louisiana Association of Business and Industry

Thoughts on Saints' scrimmage
Published: Tuesday, August 6, 2013 at 10:00 a.m.
Last Modified: Tuesday, August 6, 2013 at 10:12 a.m.
Want to know how popular the New Orleans Saints are in southeast Louisiana?
All you needed to do was drive down Airline Highway in Metairie on Saturday morning. Thousands of Saints fans were lined up at the Saints' training camp in the early morning hours for a chance to catch a glimpse of their heroes in the Black and Gold Scrimmage.
In all, 5,123 fans attended the scrimmage, and my dad, Larry, and I were in that number.
After last year's disappointing season, I was anxious to see how the Saints looked heading into the 2013 season.
As one would expect after only eight days of practice, the Saints did some good things, but they also did some bad things.
Here are a few observations from Saturday's scrimmage:
n After sitting out the 2012 season due to his season-long suspension for the team's bounty scandal, Saints coach Sean Payton looked rejuvenated on the sidelines. He seemed back at home calling plays and barking out orders. He walked the field with a swagger, which was something the Saints sorely missed last season.
n The running game appears ready to take a step forward after struggling throughout the 2012 season. Payton has previously stated that the Saints will be committed to running the ball this season, and that was evident on Saturday. Pierre Thomas and Mark Ingram ran with authority during the scrimmage, and all signs are pointing to big seasons for both running backs. Rookie free agent Khiry Robinson showed the necessary skills to become the latest find for the Saints.
n While the running game looked improved, the same can't be said for the Saints passing attack. Quarterback Drew Brees looked sharp early on, guiding the Saints to a touchdown. But after that, he struggled at times as the defense applied lots of pressure. Backups Luke McCown and Ryan Griffin couldn't get into a rhythm, while Seneca Wallace sat out with an injury. But Saints fans should not worry because passing game will get back on track for the first game of the season.
n The Saints' much maligned defense looked vastly improved. In Rob Ryan's new 3-4 defensive scheme, the Saints were able to record five sacks and three turnovers (two interceptions and one fumble recovery), which were problem areas last season. The defense also limited the offense to two touchdowns in 12 possessions.
n Several players appear to be grasping Ryan's new 3-4 defensive scheme, especially linebacker Junior Galette, defensive lineman Akiem Hicks and rookie safety Kenny Vaccaro. All three made big plays during the scrimmage by either recording sacks, turnovers or playing a physical brand of football.
Are the Saints where they need to be? Far from it, but at least they are heading in the right direction. With four preseason games and many practices ahead, they have the time to correct any problems and work out any kinks.
I'm confident the Saints will be ready for their Sept. 8 season opener against the Atlanta Falcons.

An Econometric Analysis of Intergenerational Reliance on Social Assistance
This paper examines the intergenerational transmission of participation in Québec's social assistance program. The analysis takes into account two sources of intergenerational transmission: one that is due to a causal link between parents' and children's participation and one that is due to a correlation between individual or environment-specific characteristics across generations. Our data come from the records of Québec's Ministère de la Solidarité Sociale and cover 17,203 young people who were 18 years old in 1990 and whose parents were recipients of social assistance during at least one month between 1979 and 1990. Our results reveal that, on average, a one-month increase in the parental participation during the youth's pre-adult years (age 7-17) raises the youth's participation by about 0.15 month during early adulthood (age 18-21). Moreover, this impact is stronger during the early stages of childhood (age 7-9) and late adolescence (age 16-17).

The insurance industry has carved its own niche within the business sector. And within this industry, there is a scarce breed of people who has helped in the growth of the insurance industry. They have become ambassadors for insurance, which is now available to more people rather than being limited only to the wealthy ones. With the help of a Perth insurance broker, or brokers in general, it is now accessible to more people who need the protection that insurance provides for them.
What Do Insurance Brokers Do?
Despite the fact that insurance brokers at Oracle Group have been quite widespread, there are a lot of consumers who have no idea what they do. One of the most common misconceptions that people have about brokers is to assume that they work on behalf of insurance companies. For this reason, a lot of people refuse to work with brokers thinking that they are "selling" the insurance to them on behalf of an insurance company.
However, this could not have been closer to the truth. In fact, a Perth insurance broker works for the consumer, the client. Their aim is to become the middle man between two parties: you (the client) and the insurance provider (the company). Their goal is to provide you with the information you need to make an informed decision on which insurance coverage will give you highest amount of protection based on your needs and priorities.
They also help consumers gain better understanding about how certain insurance policies work. To the average consumer, you might assume that all insurance policies are the same. But to these brokers at Oracle Group Insurance, it could mean a world of difference in terms of the benefits you can enjoy.
Helping Insurance Companies Too
Even though a Perth insurance broker is not working on behalf of the insurance providers, they can indirectly promote the industry as well. By providing more information and insight into the insurance policies available to them, it will help consumers understand the value that insurance can offer to them. It therefore benefits both parties. The consumers are protected with the right coverage while insurance companies are able to stay afloat by earning a steady stream of clients.
There are also several types of brokers as there are plenty of insurance coverage types. It does not matter if you are a business owner looking to obtain insurance for your business, or a parent wanting to secure your family's future with a life insurance, a broker is available to help you out. Insurance brokers also have their own specialized fields wherein most of them are dedicated to gathering insurance information for clients looking for a specific type of insurance.
The world of insurance is complex. Therefore, the services provided by insurance brokers at http://www.oraclegroup.com.au are invaluable. They bridge the divide between consumers and insurance provider. Insurance brokers help both parties benefit off of each other. In that way, they have contributed to the insurance industry in a major way as these two are also the backbone of the industry.

"Really loved the easily personalized cards and the envelopes were good quality as well. My order arrived well before the promised date - an added bonus."
"Card will touch your heart! Perfect Sentiment and the affirmations on the reverse side are reminders to make everyday count! I loved the card and most of the recipients either texted or e-mailed they loved it too! :)"
"I really liked the layout on this card and it worked well with a photo that I had taken. The colors were nice and different from other holiday cards. Editing was fairly easy and they were shipped promptly. In fact, they came so quickly that I didn't even have my labels printed yet. The paper quality is excellent with Tiny Prints which is why I use them."
"This card came in a couple color options which I thought was great to correspond with the picture I picked. The quality of this paper was exactly what I expected it was thick like card stock and not like a photo which I enjoyed so it didn't bend. I was also able to write nicely on the back without it showing or making engravement type markings on the front side. The picture came out great and was not distorted or different color quality than the original which was my worry when ordering. I am so happy with this product."
"Loved everything about this card. The rounded corners and soft colors made this year's holiday greeting feel even more special."

Can Cod Liver Oil Help Prevent Diabetes?
Sept. 22, 2000 -- It tasted awful, but according to mothers everywhere, cured everything. It's cod liver oil derived from, obviously, the liver of cod. Its history as an old wives tale is giving way to science, which is now looking into some of the potential benefits of this legendary fish oil.
Now, researchers have found that babies of mothers who took cod liver oil during pregnancy are less likely to develop type 1 diabetes in childhood, according to a Norwegian study. The researchers, whose work is published in the September issue of the journal Diabetologia, say the big question now is how and why it works.
"I think it is a very interesting study," Marc Hellerstein, MD, PhD, tells WebMD. "I think it is something that has to be explored aggressively, but it is pretty much a preliminary result." Hellerstein, a professor of nutrition at the University of California, Berkeley, was not involved in the study.
Type 1 diabetes, sometimes called juvenile diabetes, is a disease in which the insulin-producing cells in the pancreas are attacked and destroyed by the body's own immune system. Because insulin regulates blood sugar, type 1 diabetics must carefully monitor their blood sugar levels and take insulin shots several times daily. Although scientists are unsure of the exact causes and triggers of diabetes, both genetic and environmental factors are believed to be at fault. Some studies have suggested that several of these factors are at work during pregnancy.
Cod liver oil is an excellent source of vitamin D, which affects the immune system in several important ways and may be tied to the development diseases such as type 1 diabetes. In one study, children who took vitamin D supplements during the first year of life had a reduced risk of developing type 1 diabetes, and some animal studies have shown vitamin D has a protective effect as well.
To explore the association between cod liver oil, vitamin D, pregnancy, and type 1 diabetes, the researchers invited the families of children diagnosed with type 1 diabetes to answer a questionnaire, and 85 responded. They also sent the survey to families with children of the same age, selected at random from the general population. All the families lived in Norway.

Drafting linen
Has anyone made sails from drafting linen? I'm wondering if there is a way to take advantage of the "starch" that keeps the sheet stiff. Is it possible to cut the sail panels and sew them together before washing out the "starch"? Also, is there another word for whatever it is that turns the fabric into a sheet?
Re: Drafting linen
Wow, drafting linen, it's been years since I've seen the stuff. I guess mylar was better and of course, in these days of computer drafting, even mylar has pretty much disappeared.
Do you have a stash of linen that you don't know what to do with?
I believe you're correct, the linen is essentially a reinforcing mat in a starch based paper that, as I remember it, looked a lot like mylar. I also seem to remember that it might deteriorate if allowed to become wet.
All that said, was the linen weave fine enough to stand in as a sail? My memory is that it was a fairly course weave and stripped of its binding starch, would look more like a net than a sail. Still, if you have access to the material, what's the harm in making a try. There can't be much demand for it as a drafting medium.
Give it a shot and let us know how it comes out. You may have a ground breaking modeling concept.
Re: Drafting linen
I read somewhere that drafting linen was a choice material for model sails. When I washed the starch out of a small sample piece, what was left was a very thin, very supple, very tight weave. So, I think the linen does have potential to make good sails.
I've never made sails before, so I'd have a hundred questions about sailmaking with any fabric. The linen is interesting in that it is so stiff before washing that I was wondering if cutting and sewing might happen before I wash out the starch. It would sure make keeping seams aligned alot easier.
Re: Drafting linen
I had a summer job a long time ago delivering photostats and blueprints. One of the machine operators gave me scraps of drafting linen and told me to wash them out and make handkerchiefs. I had my mother do that and put a hem on them and they came out as the finest looking handkerchiefs imaginable. But she did the sewing after washing out the sizing - I don't know how it would have worked if she had tried to do the sewing before. If you have the material it would pay to try it before washing to see what happens.
Richard :coffee:
Re: Drafting linen
How did you wash the binder out of the linen? Just a regular washing machine that you normally use for every day clothing?
Re: Drafting linen
Yes, for the most part "Drafting linen" makes good sails. I say for the most part because it seems the sizing in the linen by various manufacturers is not the same. Prior to retirement (As an Architect) I salvaged several yards of linen. These were taken from the end of rolls which had maybe 2 to 3 yards left on them. What I did was throw them in the washing machine when my wife was doing a load of white things. Sometime I would have to recycle them 3 or 4 times and most of the time they came out very useable. A cople of pieces however defied losing the sizing and remained rather stiff. The material that I deemed useable was made into sails as follows; First, on a piece of paper I drew and cut out the sail pattern wide of the drawing and pinned it to the cloth. I then cut the sail and pattern together. After separation I drew the hem lines. You must be careful doing this cuz the cloth want to creep under the straight edge. After the hem lines are drawn I spray starch the edges so that I can fold the cloth. Then I stitch the hem using a fine stitch on the sewing machine. In my opinion if you can get the right linen it makes very good sails. Almost forgot All the drawing on the cloth was done with a pencil and after the sail was made and washed the pencil lines washed out.
One final note, I don't believe that making the sail before the sizing is washed out will work. I think there is a slight shrinkage when washing the sizing out.

Android L On Galaxy S5!
Samsung Galaxy S5 is still the OEMs flagship device and this time around Samsung is facing pressure from everyone regarding their lousy approach to Android updates.
SamMobile has got an image from Samsung which is an early leaked build and the aim was to see how far and wide Samsung has gone to abide by the material design guidelines – and as it turns out – everything looks just the same. Yes, Samsung keeps its TouchWiz UI ahead of all and it is really hard to see Material Design in action over here.
The lockscreen does see the new notifications but everything else is just the same – animations aren't working yet, the "sense of depth" that Google spoke about is yet to be seen from TouchWiz. Initial responses from S5 owners also depict the same amount of dissatisfaction for this.
While it's great to see Samsung work well to stay on the dates, we hope Samsung unleashes all theyve got to offer very soon!

It would also carry an IP certification for some waterproofing. There is a press conference on the 8th at New York where the company is expected to unveil this!

Beautiful top, but does not run true to size. the XXL fits more like a M. I have wider shoulders and a larger chest and it could not fit past my chest. Very disappointed.

Beautiful top, but does not run true to size. Will work for smaller people but if you have any sort of curves or shoulders like I do, it does not work. Could not get it past my chest.
