Boycott seafood to protect seals
Published: Wednesday, May 2, 2007 at 10:42 a.m.
Last Modified: Wednesday, May 2, 2007 at 11:18 a.m.
For those who care about animals, do you know that Canada is again slaughtering harp seal pups by the hundreds of thousands? Do you know that there is an ongoing boycott of Canadian seafood sponsored by the Humane Society of the United States and other animal-welfare organizations?
Many people are not aware of the heartbreaking killing of harp seal pups so their skins can be sold to European countries. Thankfully, the United States banned the import of all seal products many years ago, when the truth was learned about the seal hunt. Many countries in Europe, however, continue to import seal products.
The Canadian seafood industry is being boycotted because the hunters are seafood fishermen. They kill hundreds of thousands of seal pups over a period of several weeks every year. This year the quota is 270,000. This is not their main source of income; fishing is. The hope is that by boycotting their main source of revenue, we will be able to force them to stop killing seals.
Documentation of the seal hunt in the form of videos and photographs along with eye-witness reports can be found at www.pro tectseals.org and www.harpseals.org. These Web sites show the horrific and graphic truth about the seal hunt.
I just learned that this hunting was still going on a few weeks ago.
When I first looked at the videos and pictures, I could not believe the cruelty I saw. It is sickening to look at. Yet, Canada defends it and calls it a "harvest."
Seals are not fish, and they are certainly not vegetables; hence, "harvest" is not an accurate term to describe what is in reality a slaughter. The seals are friendly, peaceful animals that do not deserve to be clubbed so someone can wear a coat or boots.
This hunt is the largest killing of marine animals in the world. I have been doing research with the above organizations to learn about the hunt and what I can do to stop it. One of the things to do is to spread the word. That is the reason for this letter. So for those of you who believe that animal cruelty is wrong, please become informed about this. The two organizations protectseals.org (a special section of the humane society) and harpseals.org give you all the information you need to become involved and help make a difference.

|Dan R Byrne Jr (Leander, November 27, 2015)
|This biography basically catalogues the different aspects of holiness displayed by St. Francis. The language is somewhat dated and does not flow well which could be due to the translation. I preferred the G. K. Chesterton version of "The Life of St. Francis of Assisi."

Stephen: To stop this thing we're going to need all the help we can get, which brings us to tonight's Word: Define & Conquer: Folks, we all remember what Shakespeare so famously said: ("Taste the rainbow!") What's in a name, that which we call a rose by any other name would smell as sweet. Maybe. But would your true love really want you to give her a beautiful red taint blossom? ("You shouldn't have!") Of course not because words have power. They can hit like a fist, especially if you write them on your fist. And Republicans now this, they have always found just the right word. ("No") From limousine liberals to welfare queens to death panels, Republicans know that the right name can make any legislation sound as unwelcome as a turd in a punchbowl. (What they now call Michael Steele) And we all know that reconciliation is a gross abuse of Senate rules. (When Democrats do it) The problem is the word reconciliation sounds kind of nice, no matter how hard Michelle Malkin tries.
[Video: Steve Doocey: You're spelling reconciliation differently than the President is and his men.
Michelle Malkin: Yes, with a W at the front as in train wreckonciliation.]
Stephen: Ha ha ha. She is great. (G-R-A-T-E) Thank God for conservative pollster Frank Luntz. His company Word Doctor specializes in message creation and image management. Their actual motto: It's not what you say, it's what they hear. So instead of the estate tax, he gave us the death tax, and instead of offshore drilling he sold us deep sea energy exploration. (Instead of "Offensive Stereotype," "The Situation) Now, Luntz knows just what to call reconciliation.
[Video: Frank Luntz: How many of you believe the Democrats should try to get any healthcare through and accept 51 votes as being enough? It's called reconciliation. Who wants them to use the so called nuclear option?]
Stephen: See? They lowered their hands because no one likes the nuclear option. Except these people.
[Video: Reporter: Some call it the nuclear option….
Matt Laurer: The nuclear option….
Pundit: Nuclear option…
Reporter: Nuclear option…
Senator: …the nuclear option…
Nuclear explosion]
Stephen: Now I'm sure Frank would have a more positive name for actual nuclear bombs. ("Instant suntan") But even calling reconciliation the "nuclear option" may not sound evil enough. (I hear the name "Blackwater" is free) Because ultimately it seems people still like the idea of healthcare. And why not? Health plus care, those are just two positive words jammed together. (Like cheeseburger + Pringle) And people seem to like doctors because the word doctor sounds so comforting. But let's remind people, these guys sometimes stick their fingers up your butt. (Take two and call me in the morning) And ultimately couldn't breathing be oxygen addiction? (Or restless lung syndrome?) So let's all take a poll. Let's vote by applause: Who wants Obama to use reconciliation to push through his healthcare bill so you can see a doctor and go on living? Okay, now, who wants the Democrats pulling a legislative gangbang so rubber gloved ass probers can keep you from going to Heaven? You know what? We might need healthcare, because you people are sick. (Define & conquer)
And that's the Word.

My DH has a 7 yr. old daughter from a previous marriage and shares custody 50/50. I'm having a very hard time with her lately. She's very argumentative and refuses to do simple tasks. I get pretty angry sometimes because I know she knows how to do things on her own, yet everything seems to be a production. (I think she missed the boat when she was 3 and now consistanly asks "Why?" to everything we ask her to do...BEFORE her refusal.)
My DH gives in to her a lot and I am the complete opposite. I don't feel it's good to give in or reward a child that is acting out. I'm worried that our parently styles are a lot more different than I thought and that she will only continue to act out worse once the baby is born. I feel like I'm always crabby and frustrated when she is with us not only with her but with my DH.
What to do???

From Hag to Heroine
With two of its recent movies, Frozen (2013) and Maleficent (2014), Disney has made an attempt to portray its female villains in more nuanced ways. The former anti-heroines of the two fairytales, the Snow Queen and Sleeping Beauty, have become the new heroines, revealing their side of the story and rejecting the stereotypical Disney Villain's one-dimensional portrayal. My presentation will shed more light on the new heroines' characters and how they have come to be.

Disavowing Colonialism: Federal Government Reports and Statements about Missing and Murdered Indigenous Women
Through a Foucauldian-influenced discourse analysis of government reports and statements, this thesis explores the Canadian Federal Government's understanding and representation of the massive overrepresentation of Indigenous women in homicide and abduction statistics. Throughout the presentation, I will present some preliminary findings from my analysis in order to argue for better, more intersectional policy development on this issue.

Trans- Youth Matter(s): An Exploration of the 'Safe' Space Phenomenon
My research goal is to notice the ways the concept of 'safe' space gets talked about in relation to education, particularly by exploring its situatedness in the context of high school spaces in Ontario. Even though safe space is operationalized in school policy in particular ways and with specific intentions, it might mean something very different to the youth navigating actual high school spaces. To accomplish this goal, my thesis research will qualitatively map the spatial experiences of trans-identified youth (ages 19-24) who have recently attended high school in Ontario. Through a kind of critical unravelling of its meanings within the personal experience narratives of young trans- youth, I want to get at safe space with a below-the-surface examination.

Hegemonic Masculinities and Campus Rape Culture: Sexual Violence in Canadian Universities
My research is prompted by the current crisis in North America of campus rape culture. Grounded in the need to identify solutions to the rate of sexual violence occurring in university communities, I have set out to explore the complexities of modern masculinity. Through interviews with young male-identified individuals I hope to gain insights into the ways in which masculinities are being reproduced, challenged, and/or resisted. It is my belief that contestations of masculinity, when examined in the contact of sexual violence, hold insights for the creation of effective violence reduction programming, and the possibility of a future with significantly less sexual violence.

Lull in activities just about over for YMCA, fall season to start up soon
Published: Saturday, August 4, 2007 at 6:01 a.m.
Last Modified: Friday, August 3, 2007 at 11:24 p.m.
HOUMA The James J. Buquet Bayouland YMCA is currently experiencing the calm before the storm.
The YMCA is in a transition period as it has recently wrapped up its summer programs and has begun preparations for the fall programs.
With the fall season starting in September, the YMCA is ready to start registering teams for its youth soccer and flag football leagues and adult flag football leagues. Registration for all leagues begin next week and ends Aug. 31.
Pat Patterson, acting sports director for the YMCA, said the organization caters to many age groups, especially children under 7 years old.
We are the only program that recreate the young age groups, he said. We cater to the young age groups. Theres nowhere in this area where you can find that.
For the fall, Patterson said, children under 7 are eligible to participate in soccer and cheerleading. Children 7 and older can also participate in flag football.
The age groups are 3-11 for soccer and cheerleading and 7-11 for flag football.
Patterson said the YMCA has other programs available for younger kids later in the year. They can participate in various types of baseball leagues and a basketball instructional program taught by Houma Christian boys basketball coach Freddie Frye.
The main objective, Patterson said, is to teach the younger kids the fundamentals of each game.
Its hard to have a league with kids 5 or 6 years old, especially when a kids has trouble bringing a ball down the basketball court, Patterson said. Youre fooling yourself if you try to form a league with this age group because the kids are not fundamentally able to do certain things.
Because of that, Patterson said the YMCA does not focus on wins and loses. Instead, its goal is for the kids to have fun. Also, all kids that participate receive an award at the conclusion of each season.
Its not about wins and loses, he said. Its all about how you did today.
For the fall youth programs, the cost to participate is $30 for YMCA members and $70 for non-members.
Patterson said the YMCA has not forgotten about the adults, as it offers flag football and basketball. The YMCA may add an indoor soccer program in the future.
We tell everyone in our adult programs that they come out there for recreation, he said. The only game that matters is the last one you play because that is when we hand out the awards.
The cost to participate in flag football is $500 per team or $50 per player (individuals without a team will be placed on one).
Providing recreational opportunities for young kids and adults is something, Patterson said, he takes pride in. Prior to joining the YMCA in 2004, Patterson worked for the Terrebonne Parish Recreation Department for 16 years.
I dont care is its a YMCA program, parish recreation or private groups, but I take pride in this because the feeling about the kids I have is genuine, he said. You have to be willing to recreate the kids and not worry about the wins and losses. It has be genuine.
For information on any of the fall programs, call the YMCA at 873-9622.

Pumpkin Soup (edition 2005)
by Helen Cooper
Work details
Pumpkin Soup by Helen Cooper
No current Talk conversations about this book.
Different - though the main characters are just as cuddly and fuzzy as their counterparts in most typical picture-books, the story and the rest of the illustrations are richer, more complex, intense, and even a bit scary (though it's a fall story, not a Halloween story). One illustration even has the characters squabbling so heatedly that the symbols for cuss-words are floating about. I appreciated the intensity and recommend the story - but you want to read it before sharing it with your tiny ones. Oh, and be sure to buy a cooking pumpkin first, too, because the recipe looks oh-so delicious, and nutritious.
30 months - A story about pumpkin soup that's not a Halloween story. Very cute and O just loved it and wanted to read it over and over. When she was playing in her kitchen she'd use "a pipkin of salt" and make her own pumpkin soup. So cute books influence her play and expands her vocabulary.
This story shows you the true meaning of friendship. I love how even if they get angry with each other they forgave each other and didn't let anything get in the way of there friendship.
Pumpkin Soup is a cleverly told tale of a family of animals who all live together in the woods and have their individual responsibilities to take care of in order to make the household run smoothly, until, that is, one day when Duck decides that it should be his turn to make the soup, and leaves when not given the opportunity to do so. The illustrations are detailed, somewhat exaggerated, and richly colored, making the reader want to turn the pages to see what will happen next. This would be a great book to teach about the themes of loyalty, friendship, cooperation, fairness, and taking turns. I also enjoy reading it to my students during the fall.
It's easy to see why Helen Cooper was awarded the 1998 Kate Greenaway Medal - the highest British honor for children's book illustration - for this adorable picture-book! A delightful tale of three friends, their tradition of making pumpkin soup, and the contretemps which ensue when one of them demands that he be allowed to perform a different task, it is also a gorgeous work of art. An appealingly deep palette is used to create scene after scene of great charm, while expressive little details - like the faces the friends make, when arguing (or worrying), for instance - really enhance the emotional impact of the story.
Pumpkin Soup is apparently the first of a series of picture-books featuring this trio, followed by A Pipkin of Pepper and Delicious!, something I was glad to discover, as I'd like to see more of them! With lovely illustrations, and an engaging story, this would make an ideal autumn and/or Halloween selection, for the younger child that isn't ready for scarier fare.

Amazon.com Product Description (ISBN 0374460310, Paperback)
By the Kate Greenaway Medalist
Deep in the woods in an old white cabin, three friends make their pumpkin soup the same way every day. The Cat slices up the pumpkin, the Squirrel stirs in the water, and the Duck tips in just enough salt. But one day the Duck wants to stir instead, and then there is a horrible squabble, and he leaves the cabin in a huff. It isn't long before the Cat and the Squirrel start to worry about him and begin a search for their friend. Rendered in pictures richly evoking autumn, Helen Cooper's delightful story will resonate for an child who has known the difficulties that come with friendship. Included at the end is a recipe for delicious pumpkin soup.

#19371 closed Bug (invalid)
django.forms.DateTimeField does not properly handle aware datetimes as inputs
|Reported by:

|forms, DateTimeField, timezones
|Triage Stage:
|Has patch:
|Needs documentation:
|Needs tests:
|Patch needs improvement:
|Easy pickings:
If you have aware datetimes as inputs to a Form or ModelForm the cleaned values are localized to the local timezone discarding the timezone information that is part of the input data.
For a better understanding of the use case I have created a small test case (attached) to regress the issue.

comment:2 Changed 3 years ago by aaugustin
- Triage Stage changed from Design decision needed to Accepted
The forms fields aren't designed to handle aware datetimes. The input should be rejected as invalid, because it doesn't match any of DATETIME_INPUT_FORMATS. I don't why it's accepted without an error.

- Resolution set to invalid

On current master the test case attached to the ticket doesn't pass validation, as expected.
So I can't reproduce the behavior described in the report:
the cleaned values are localized to the local timezone discarding the timezone information.
I don't remember if I had verified it when I accepted the ticket; probably not.

Supporting this use case would require drastic changes. Currently Django attempts to parse the value with strptime for each format declared in DATETIME_INPUT_FORMATS (or its equivalent for the current locale). But strptime can't parse timezones:
>>> import datetime >>> datetime.datetime.strptime("2013-09-21 21:02:46", "%Y-%m-%d %H:%M:%S") datetime.datetime(2013, 9, 21, 21, 2, 46) >>> datetime.datetime.strptime("2013-09-21 21:02:46+02:00", "%Y-%m-%d %H:%M:%S%z") Traceback (most recent call last): File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module> File "/System/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.7/lib/python2.7/_strptime.py", line 317, in _strptime (bad_directive, format)) ValueError: 'z' is a bad directive in format '%Y-%m-%d %H:%M:%S%z'
Django's built-in DateTimeField doesn't expose time zone information to the end user.
If you want to expose it, I think you have to write a custom field. It isn't very hard.

Corporate Advocacy Program™
Business Alliance, Inc. joins Rip-off Report Corporate Advocacy Business Remediation & Customer Satisfaction Program. ..A long name for a program that does a lot for both consumers and business alike.
Rip-off Report Corporate Advocacy Business Remediation & Customer Satisfaction Program, ..A program that benefits the consumer, which assures their complete satisfaction and confidence when doing business with a member business.
As a matter of policy, when Rip-off Report is retained by a company to mount an independent investigation and to publish our findings, we examine the truthfulness of the consumer complaints using every bit of information at our disposal. Our process is systematic and highly effective because: 1) It takes place at the consumer level and 2) the company or individual in our Corporate Advocacy Program must commit to 'doing whatever it takes to make things right with their customers.' By working closely with the company or individual, Rip-off Report can track the footprints left behind when their promised level of customer service is actually followed by the solid ground of real behavior. Only then do we publish our findings
Rip-off Report cannot ever guarantee any product or service, but we can only report what we find, in order to help you get a better understanding of the company or individual we are investigating. That having been said, the conclusion Rip-off Report came to after our investigation, to the best of our knowledge, is that this company is a reputable firm, offering products and services of real value.
By Ed Magedson - Founder, Rip-off Report
B usiness Alliance, Inc. approached Rip-Off Report last month with the express purpose of resolving consumer concerns posted on Rip-off Report. Business Alliance noticed that some of the reports on the Rip-off Report website were from people who had not made contact with their customer support department. Business Alliance has and continues to maintain an in-house customer support team that handles ongoing Affiliate inquiries and requests regarding services. After a recent mailing to everyone who filed a Rip-off Report, it became apparent that Business Alliance is sincere in their commitment to remedy any and all customer concerns and/or misconceptions. Company executives stated to Rip-off Report that Business Alliance has now dedicated a portion of their customer service team to work exclusively on making improvements in the Affiliate service arena. These changes were implemented as a direct result of feedback they received from Rip-off Report.
Business Alliance is a franchise broker group with the largest selection of franchises that can be assembled by one franchise brokerage group anywhere. Business Alliance offers only those franchises for referral that meet our high internal standards of excellence, integrity and quality. One of the surprises that came from the Rip-off Report investigation was that the complaints had to do with misconceptions about Business Alliance. Business Alliance, Inc. understands the saying, "you will be judged by the company that you keep" so Business Alliance Inc. is working with their franchise partners to make sure they are held to high standards, and they will end relationships or eliminate certain business practices as necessary. Business Alliance has closely analyzed the services which caused negative feedback and has adjusted the processes which led to the reports. They assure us the changes they have made will prevent the recurrence of similar mistakes in the future. Such changes include carefully screening new franchise partners and business models for which they use their marketing expertise, in an effort to help Affiliates achieve success in business and which add value to its catalog of franchise partners.
STATEMENTS FROM Business Alliance
One top executive of the company stated to Rip-Off Report that Business Alliances corporate philosophy is based on the premise that they strive to provide the largest catalog of quality franchise partners of any franchise brokerage grouping the world, as well as full training and support of its Affiliates in a multitude of formats that are easily accessible to the Affiliates. In simpler terms, they are constantly looking for ways to make their Affiliates more successful by implementing cutting edge resources and backing them up with training and support. If an Affiliate has any complaints, is unhappy for any reason, has a comment, or has any unresolved issues, Business Alliance wants that Affiliate to contact their support department at 1-800-557-4850 X202. They guarantee that they will do whatever it takes to make it right and make that Affiliate happy.
STATED IMPROVEMENTS FROM Business Alliance
We have a new, dynamic intranet website where the Affiliates can access webinars, conference calls, online catalog of our franchise partners, calendar of upcoming events and a database with more than 2500 franchises. Recorded versions of the advanced training calls are also on the intranet website in case a call is missed. In sum, Business Alliance provides comprehensive training and tools, as well as an excellent ongoing support network for its Affiliates. So, please call our support department, and we will be more than happy to make sure that you are completely satisfied and that any issue is resolved to your complete satisfaction. Our support number is 1-800-557-4850 X202.
Business Alliance takes quality control very seriously. They have constantly put efforts into ramping up both their support team and client relation processes over the years. Currently Business Alliance goes so far as to provide initial, face-to-face training with its new Affiliates, focusing on critical areas such as marketing, operations, qualifying, presentation and other critical components of successful operation. They follow this up with a mentoring program. Ultimately Business Alliance strives to be proactive and avoid all potential issues, so they are doing everything in their power to manage any and all issues before they arise. For example, Business Alliance has added significantly to their Quality Assurance team and instituted new processes that allow them to identify and resolve issues more quickly.
Because of our investigation and the sincere efforts put forth by Business Alliance, Inc., Rip-off Report is confident in giving Business Alliance, Inc. a positive rating. All in all, the company implemented strategic changes to its Customer Service Department and they are working very hard at achieving total customer satisfaction by providing excellent service. This is made possible by a completely honest approach to looking within their own ranks and at their own processes to eliminate breakdowns and a commitment to taking good care of their customers.
Business Alliance executives understand that the only way to grow as a company is by first recognizing their potential breakdowns and then committing the resources necessary to fix the problems those weaknesses created. A Business Alliance executive stated, "Were not perfect, as no business is. We know that we have made mistakes, but with the changes weve made and the attitude weve instilled in our people, I assure you that we are 100% committed to resolving those issues and creating ongoing, lasting value for our Affiliates.
In spite of all such situations, Rip-off Report is confident you have a company that is ready to serve those who need more assistance and is willing to make things right if they seem to have fallen apart.
Rip-off Report knows there is no company or individual that is perfect Business Alliance, Inc. knows this also and demonstrates their need for continuing improvement - that is why Rip-off Report comfortably states that you can be completely confident, safe and secure when doing business with them as a member of Rip-off Reports Corporate Advocacy, Business Remediation & Customer Satisfaction Program.
As a part of the Corporate Advocacy Program - Rip-off Report sent an email to every client who filed a Report on Business Alliance, Inc. and I would now like to share the results with you.
The majority of clients stated that they appreciated our efforts and related how they had already been taken care of in a satisfactory manner. As usual, most customers asked if they could remove the Report they filed and we explained that unfortunately, it was not possible. It is Rip-off Report's philosophy that it is much more beneficial for the consumer to see how a company like Business Alliance, Inc. takes care of their mistakes. No company is with out its share of problems, however, there are many companies who continually sweep those problems under the rug and never achieve the growth that other companies such as Business Alliance, Inc. enjoys.
Rip-off Report feels Business Alliance, Inc. has learned from all those who have complained... and they even seemed to be thankful for those who have brought problems to their attention.
Business Alliance, Inc. shows leadership by joining the Corporate Advocacy Business Remediation and Customer Satisfaction Program.
Keep in mind, Business Alliance, Inc. has worked with many clients over time. What really is amazing that despite Rip-off Report appearing on most search engines right below Business Alliance, Inc., their complaint ratio is a fraction of a percent of their overall clients. Rip-off Report knows that this is significantly below the industry standard for the clientele that they work with. From our perspective, it is quite unusual for a company who has had so few complaints request on their own to be a part of the Corporate Advocacy Business Remediation and Customer Satisfaction Program. Business Alliance, Inc. provides a leadership model for other companies that care about their clients to follow.
While Rip- off Report does not endorse any company, including Business Alliance, Inc., overall, our research demonstrated to us that Business Alliance, Inc. is a solid, reliable company that stands behind its service.
Many companies that contact Rip-off Report make claims that the Reports about them are false, were filed by the same person or even a competitor. Yes, Rip-off Report knows this can happen from time to time; however, we know this is not true most of the time. From federal to local law enforcement agencies, most use Rip-off Report regularly. When Rip-off Report works with law enforcement to assist consumers, never once have we heard from any agency that the Reports filed had bogus contact information. These agencies include FBI, FTC, SEC, Homeland Security, US Postal Inspectors, Justice Department, IRS, Federal Prosecutors and local law enforcement in the USA along with government agencies in more than eight other countries.
Rip-off Report does not solicit its Corporate Advocacy Business Remediation & Customer Satisfaction Program. Any participation in this program is completely voluntary and at the request of the program member.
This program requires the Member Business to agree to satisfy all complaints - past, present and in the future, even when those complaints come to us by e-mail.
The Member Business must also state improvements they are willing to make to their business which benefits the customer to avoid the reported problems from happening again in the future.
Anyone contacting the following e-mail address will get immediate attention. (within 3-5 business days, usually with in 24 to 48 hours) We ask that you contact Business Alliance, Inc. Customer Service: email@example.com
..Consumers should feel confident and secure when doing business with member businesses.
..Remember, just because a company or individual is reported on Rip-off Report does not mean you should not do business with them. Use Rip-off Report information as a tool to your advantage.

Today's question comes from Ola and regards CLA, or conjugated linoleic acid. What is CLA? CLA is the "good" trans-fat that occurs naturally in meat [8] and dairy [9], especially from grass-fed animals [10]. In the stomach of ruminants like cows, sheep, or goats, millions upon millions of bacteria [11] help the animal digest its food. They also help convert dietary linoleic fatty acids into saturated fatty acids [12]. Well, that conversion takes several steps, and one of the steps is the creation of CLA, some of which never gets fully saturated [13] and instead shows up in the animal's body and milk fat. 28 different CLA isomers, or structural arrangements of the molecules, appear in CLA-rich animal fat [14]. It's very complex and quite different from trans-fat created by partially hydrogenating vegetable oils [15]. Those lab-created trans-fats [16] have definite negative metabolic and health effects, while the panoply of various CLA isomers from grass-fed dairy and meat seem to be beneficial. With that said, let's get to the question.
Thank you for this great and informative website. I have been primal for about a year now. I still don't seem to get rid of those last 5 lbs so I read a bit about CLA supplements. What is your take on them? You have commented briefly on them and promised to write a more detailed piece about supplements.
If you don't recommend CLA, what do you recommend for me? I lift "heavy things"/ push ups etc.. but I don't sprint as much as I probably should! Thank you!
Conjugated linoleic acid production is a booming industry with many players. You've got the new guys creating the stuff on a massive scale, getting their hands dirty in the lab, converting linoleic acid derived from safflower or sunflower oil [15] into various isomers of CLA. Then there are the stalwarts, those ruminant stomachs filled with microscopic bacterial sweatshops toiling away as they convert unsaturated fats to saturated fats and make various CLA isomers in the process. An isomer called cis-9, trans-11 (or c9, t11) isomer is the primary one. CLA with a trans-10, cis-12 isomer is also evident, but in far scanter quantities. Same type of molecules – different arrangement. In fact, c9, t11 CLA accounts for between 80-95% of the CLA in ruminant and dairy fat, with t10, c12 showing up in trace amounts. Supplement makers have the luxury of focusing on other isomers, of course, so they typically produce CLA supplements containing equal amounts c9, t11 and t10, c12.
Why would they try to improve on an impossibly complex and delicately balanced natural system millions of years in the making by messing with the ratios?
Heh. Do I really have to answer that?
It turns out that the t10, c12 isomer has performed well in some studies. T10, c12 can inhibit the growth of human colon cancer cells in vitro [17] (with c9, t11 having no effect). In another in vitro study [18], this time connective tissues isolated from human body fat, t10, c12 inhibited lipogenesis [19], or (something analogous to) body fat creation, while c9, t11 did not. It also showed promise [20] as a promoter of lean mass versus fat mass in humans.
In a totally unsurprising twist, however, results change when you start feeding the stuff to live organisms and paying attention to the full effects (beyond just "does it result in 2% more fat loss?"). Let's take a look at a few examples.
Healthy humans taking trans-10, cis-12 CLA supplements had increased triglycerides, LDL-HDL ratios, and total cholesterol-HDL ratios when compared to patients taking supplements based on cis-9, trans-11 [21]. In both wild-type and lab mice, the t10, c12 isomer stimulated mammary tumor growth [22], while c9, t11 isomers had a neutral effect.
As Stephan Guyenet points out in a blog post, CLA loses a head-to-head match [23] with safflower oil (!). The safflower oil group saw improved insulin sensitivity, higher HDL, and lower inflammation. The CLA was 50% trans-10, cis-12 and 50% cis-9, trans-11. In other words, it wasn't CLA as you'd get from grass-fed butter or pastured lamb shoulder chops. Stephan also cites two other studies using t10, c12 and c9, t11 at a 50:50 ratio that had similarly negative results – here [24] (t10, c12 supplements worsened metabolic syndrome in men) and here [25] (increased c-reactive protein and insulin resistance). If you can't beat safflower oil, you should probably just throw in the towel.
Another study found that while t10, c12 supplementation decreased fat mass, it also raised LDL, lowered HDL, and overall worsened the cholesterol [26] profile, as well as increased insulin [27] resistance, blood glucose [28] levels, and insulin. C9, t11, on the other hand, improved lipid metabolism [29] overall.
In post menopausal women, high t10, c12 CLA supplementation increased inflammatory markers and lipid peroxidation [30] when compared to CLA "supplementation" with milk (containing, remember, mostly c9, t11).
Mice fed t10, c12-enhanced diets experienced reductions in liver fatty acid oxidation and liver detoxification enzymes [31]. In short, t10, c12 CLA gave mice fatty liver and reduced the liver's ability to do its job. It had similar effects on hamster livers [32].
T10, c12 led to dysregulated glucose and lipid metabolism [33].
Are you noticing a pattern? Again and again, individual CLA isomers appear to be protective or beneficial in isolated studies, usually in vitro, but when you actually feed an animal or a human a CLA supplement with the same isomer ratios, the benefits either disappear or get counterbalanced by a negative effect. You might burn some body fat, but you'll also become insulin resistant. You may keep off the baby weight, but your breast milk will contain less fat as a consequence [34]. I'm a big supporter of supplementation [35], but in my opinion, CLA supplementation simply isn't worth it.
The right CLA supplement employing the right isomers in grass-fed ruminant-fat proportions could be helpful, but after taking an admittedly brief look at the top CLA supplements results on Amazon, I couldn't point you toward any that fit that description. They may exist. Heck, they probably do exist, but it's not obvious. I think you'd be better served simply eating grass-fed animal products: butter [36], cheese [37], and meat [10] with fat intact.
And as for what you should do to lose the last five pounds read this [38], this [39], this [40], and see this [41]. Grok on! [42]

There has been a temptation in policy discussions to think of development and the preservation of the environment in antagonistic terms... We have to move away from the limited – and limiting – idea that the environment is basically in conflict with development.
– Professor Amartya Sen2
Contracts and contract law are deeply integrated into ABS. To address them, this book is divided into two very separate component parts.
Part I focuses on the creation of ABS contracts, with particular attention to the factors and issues which cause such contracts to be very different from other types of contracts. Its goal is to provide a unified starting point from which those whose primary expertise is in commercial and contractual law and practice can gain an understanding of the ABS concept and the special concerns of contracts for genetic resources. At the same time Part I should allow ABS experts and bioprospectors to gain some insight into contract law and the reasons that ABS contracts adopted have later been discovered to be legally flawed and un-implementable as commercial instruments. Besides the difference, Part I also notes certain similarities which exist between ABS contracts and commercial contracts used in other fields.
The authors do not wish to suggest that a contract that does not meet basic legal standards is not valid. So long as there is good will among the parties to a contract, it does not matter whether its provisions are legally enforceable or not. In the current climate of uncertainty and in some cases distrust between providers of genetic resources and various types of users, however, it is important for all parties to find a way of clarifying the meaning and requirements of their contracts and ensuring that those documents are legally valid. Such certainty will enable all parties to avoid misunderstandings, litigation and other conflict.
Chapters 1 and 2 seek to provide a basis for approaching these two aspects of ABS in an integrated way. In Chapter 3, a more immediately practical discussion uses examples from a collection of actual ABS contracts, to provide some ideas for negotiators regarding some of the options available to them. While it does not attempt to identify 'best practices' or provide some standard or model for negotiation, Chapter 3 is offered in the hope that negotiations will be improved by a broader knowledge of the provisions actually being used.
Part I offers an analysis of, and lessons learned from, a wide range of existing ABS contracts and seeks to present these lessons in systematic form according to clearly defined categories of contractual issues which have been customized according to their relevance for ABS contracts.
Following this analysis Part II (Chapters 4–7) begins the books attempt to provide a better understanding of many of the possible scientific bases on which ABS contracts may be built. In this part, the objective was satisfied through first-hand accounts. In early 2005, key scientists and lawyers from three organizations involved in bioprospecting practices were asked to develop three in-depth reports (Chapters 5 through 7) about scientific issues associated with bioprospecting contracts. Specific issues that all of the experts were asked to discuss included:
Current science and technology applied by their organization and the manner in which this technology may influence the contract negotiation process.
Uses of microorganism, molecules, genes, and other substances identified by their organization in the context of bioprospecting agreements.
The impact that these scientific options upon contractual negotiating strategies and contents.
Chapter 4 provides an overview of science and technology in the context of bioprospecting projects implemented since the CBD came into force and presents a comparative analysis of key.
Finally, we note that this book includes statements and opinions from numerous different authors, which are not in all cases shared by all. In all cases, we agree that the most important aspect of this work is its ability to provide critical information of value to all parties and other stakeholders, and sincerely hope that it has done so.

NEW YORK TIMES & USA TODAY Bestselling Author Tina Folsom presents: Zane's Redemption (Scanguards Vampires #5)
The last thing vampire bodyguard Zane wants to do is to guard a hybrid, a half-vampire, half-human, whose father wants to keep her a virgin. Known for his violent temper and callous lack of compassion, Zane's out-of-control rage, born of the cruelty he suffered during the Holocaust, drives him to focus only on revenge. Trying to find the last of his torturers is his only goal in life.
Portia is a young hybrid with a serious dilemma: in a few weeks, her body will be set in its final vampire form. If she is to avoid having to live out her immortal life as a virgin, she must find a lover in that short time--something her father hires Zane to prevent.
The moment Portia and Zane meet, rules begin to bend, and a forbidden attraction bursts into flames hotter than the hell of Zane's past. But that past threatens to pull them apart unless they can overcome their prejudice, forsake hate for love, and revenge for forgiveness.

Clinical Gait Analysis – $225
It includes Initial Consultation, Functional Movement Assessment, Gait Video Analysis, Results & Treatment Plan and the first 4 weeks of the Functional & Technique Rehab program
Thereafter the Functional & Technique Rehabilitation Program cost – $150 per 4 week block which includes assessments follow up, 1:1 consultation, functional patterns re-training, training program, etc.
What is a Clinical Gait Analysis?
Is the process in which functional movements are evaluated, bio-mechanic gait characteristics are measured, abnormalities are identified and treatments are proposed. Our assessment was developed with experts in different fields such as biomechanics, soft tissue rehabilitation and physical therapy following the latest testing protocols/technology that will provide valuable feedback to enhance your injury rehabilitation.
Who Can Benefit From It?
Currently injured athletes with difficult to diagnose running, cycling or swimming related injuries for which traditional treatments such as rest, physical therapy or other have been unsuccessful and attempts to return to training/activity has been unsuccessful
How Does It Work?
It is a detailed assessment of the athlete's injury history. Followed by functional movement evaluation to identify mobility and stability imbalances. We continue with a gait analysis filming the athlete running* from different angles. Finally, our interdisciplinary team analyze the videos using specialized motion capture software and develops specific rehabilitation program.
* Cycling/Swimming related injuries can also get evaluated
The Interdisciplinary Assessment Team
Our expert team includes a physical therapy, a biomechanist and coach specialized in functional movement. Collectively, the team reviews all information collected, identifies potential causes and recommends treatments. These treatments may include physical therapy, soft tissue injury treatment, myofascial release technique, functional technique movement re-training or in most cases, a combination of some/all.
It Includes:
- Initial Consultation to discuss Injury history (20-30 min)
- Functional Movement Evaluation – (20-30 min)
- Gait Video Analysis (HD video) – (30-45 min)
- Interdisciplinary Team Assessment and treatment recommendations
- MPEG Video files for analysis
- Follow up meeting with coach to review all materials and discuss treatment recommendations
- Personalized Functional Strength Training program
- Initial Functional & Technique Rehab program
- 1:1 coached session
* Notice this service is different from our performance run gait analysis. Please keep in mind this service is recommended after an athlete has received professional advice, structural damage has been ruled out and the traditional treatments have been unsuccessful.

The Hoops manager at times conducted a verbal battle with some St Mirren supporters behind the dugout during a fast-paced encounter which saw Joe Ledley open the scoring in the fifth minute with a header before a mistake by Celtic left-back Emilio Izaguirre in the 13th minute allowed Esmael Goncalves an easy chance to level.
Anthony Stokes restored the visitors' lead in the 21st minute with a close-range header which, ultimately, was enough to put the Parkhead men into Monday's semi-final draw at Hampden.
"It was from the first whistle really, just a bit of banter really, nothing over the top," he said. "Nothing new there in Scotland. In fact, the timing of one of the boys' shouts was perfect.
"He said, 'Hey Lennon, you will get the sack in the morning' just as Joe Ledley scored, so it was marvellous. I am delighted, we deserved to win the game.
"The equaliser was a comedy of errors and we have to stop doing that. We were so much in control of the game, St Mirren did nothing to warrant them getting back into it and we gift-wrapped them the goal. But our recovery was excellent."
After beating Celtic in the Scottish Communities League Cup semi-final at Hampden in January, Saints boss Danny Lennon was looking for lightning to strike twice.
He said: "It didn't but we came close to it. I am very proud of the group of players.
"We got off to a poor start but to get ourselves back into the game was pleasing and then we lose another poor goal from another set-play.
"Graham Carey had a terrific free-kick and there was a save to match it and then Sam Parkin should have done slightly better and the ball fell to Lee Mair who hit the side-netting."

5.5.10 – Dr. Steve Katz To Give Talks in Europe This Summer and To Serve as Visiting Distinguished Professor at NC State This Fall
After delivering a paper on "Burke's New Body: The Problem of Virtual Material, and Motive, in a Post-Human Age" at the Kenneth Burke Conference at the University of Ghent, Belgium, the first Burke conference in Europe, Dr. Steve Katz, Pearce Professor of Professional Communication, will be traveling on to Germany, where, in addition to the visiting and talking with researchers in technical communication and the Holocaust at the Karlsruhe Institute of Technology, he has been invited to deliver a talk, and also conduct an all-day workshop for doctoral and post-doc students, at the Max Planck Institute in Hamburg-Plön. (They are giving him a house on a lake for five days!) The all-day workshop, entitled "Linguistic and Rhetorical Strategies for Writing Scientific Papers (in English Language Journals)," will be held on May 30, and will include the international doctoral and post-docs at the Institute, as well as from surrounding universities (primarily Kiel University). The talk, "Ethical Tensions in Scientific Communication: Negotiation of Conflicts in Writing and Publishing Research," will be given to the Institute's scientists and researchers on May 31.
Dr. Katz also has been invited by the English Department at North Carolina State University to be a Visiting Distinguished Professor for the Fall 2013 semester, where he will be filling in for Carolyn Miller, SAS Distinguished Professor, teaching one course and mentoring their MS and doctoral students. While at NC State, Dr. Katz and Ann Penrose will be revising the 4th edition of Writing in the Sciences: Exploring Conventions of Scientific Discourse, which Longman Publishing has requested. It is one of the few books from the Allyn Bacon series being retained and continued by Longman.
Dr. Katz will, of course, continue working with graduate students at Clemson University as well, and will return in January 2014.
