Expert Level
Start DateAugust 23, 2013
The Job:
The contractor will work configuring an android environment on custom hardware. This will require standard embedded software challenges such as working with and modifying open source boot loaders, the linux kernel, and custom driver software. In addition, the contractor will work with custom android libraries and applications to develop a framework for processing video data.
We will send you an Media Processor development board, which consists of a various video inputs (we'll focus on HDMI), and a Mstar Media Processor/Arm with a MaliX2 GPU, with an attached LCD display, and software bundle. The software bundle contains:
1) MStar's custom boot loader, MBoot, which is a combination of U-Boot and sboot. This will include pre-compiled binaries which will load the android OS onto the development board.
2) A build of the linux kernel, along with source code, that contains driver support for the MStar platform.
3) A build of Android ICS, along with source, that runs on the MStar platform.
4) An android library and application which allow an end user to drive an HDMI source to the LCD display, and manipulate the displayed video data in some minor capacity through the built in functions of the Media Processor.
Your task will be to develop the software libraries required for a custom android application to perform image processing algorithms on the video input using the Media Processor's on board GPU.
-----An example processing algorithm, and the ultimate goal for the contractor, would be to process every frame of video and count the number of white pixels in every frame, and then the number should be printed to the screen every frame.-------
The largest challenge this project faces is a lack of documentation and support.
- Advanced knowledge of bringing up Android on custom embedded platforms
- Knowledge of video and video processing is very helpful
- Advanced knowledge of the Android architecture and file system
- Bootloader experience
We really need this task completed. So we're looking for someone who can commit full-time to this task. Bonuses will be applied the faster the job gets done. There is also potential for long term contract work after this task is completed if the applicant is qualified and does a good job with this particular task.

Tubipora is a genus of octocoral that lives in colonies of soft coral polyps embedded in a matrix, hard calcium carbonate external skeleton with a structure that resembles organ pipes. Some sources recognize a single species in the genus, T. musica (Wikipedia 2014; Catalogue of Life 2014) although others suggest caution stating that in many regions unidentified species may be confused with the commonly identified T. musica (Australian Biological Resources Study 2013). WORMS references five Tubipora species (van Ofwegen 2014).

Build Your Own Villa in the Dominican Republic: Lots of Options
One of the most frequent questions we get is, "Can I build a house in the DR?" Absolutely! Here in Cabarete/Sosua, you have excellent options that range from multiple designs within a fully gated community, to custom construction on your own plot of land. This suite of choices covers many price ranges and can be situated beachside or up in the hills with panoramic views.
Today I will discuss four different approaches and give you an idea of the different styles and locations you can choose. Obviously this is meant to be an introduction only and a trip here to meet with Sally and me as well as with different developers is a crucial step, so let's get started.
Option One: Beachside Villa. This dream is one many of us share but it requires a little insight. This north coast real estate area is a "part time residency" location as well as tourist destination for wind and water sports, so both beachfront condos and beachside villas have become mainstream option for people looking to get out of the North American and European winters.
Located on 30 acres on the ocean and with direct access to the best surfing spots on the island, one developer has cracked the code for the ultimate in tropical living. Gorgeous custom homes on spacious, affordable lots create the allure, but the quality of construction takes this opportunity to a whole new stratosphere of value. Lots begin at $85 a square meter and you can build now or wait until the kids are out of college while feeling comfortable that your hand picked lot will be waiting for you. One condo/apartment building also exists beachfront where you can stay and monitor your home's progress. Here is a representative house; price depends on lot and size of structure of course:
Option Two: A lovely home in the hills five minutes from beaches and town: In this north coast residency area there are two outstanding European developers offering very different choices. One is modern, sleek design with lots of glass and stone and an elegant look that makes you want to call Architectural Digest to come down and take pictures. The other is more traditional villa design but also with that modern European flair and lifestyle oriented floor plans as well as progressive energy-saving technologies.
Modern Utopia – Five different models ranging from 165K (plus lot) to 375K (plus lot); here is just one option:
This is a smaller development of only 19 building sites where prices range from $46 m2 to $70 m2 currently, so it has that intimate feel. Contact Arthur for a "Catalog of Homes."
Tropical Utopia – The second option in the hills is even closer to town and is now opening a gorgeous new phase of lots. This developer also offers a "Fly and Buy" program for serious buyers. Homes here range from 212K up (includes lot, house, pool, landscaping) with the average home price (which includes lot, house, pool and landscaping by the way) being around 300K. A very attractive rental guarantee option also exists for the first two years. Again, ask for a "Catalog of Homes" and you'll see the amazing value.
Option Three: Build your Own Villa on your own lot. Some people just want a little more space and also want the autonomy they find in securing their own property and building their dream villa on it. There are some great building lots around, many in gated communities that don't have a mandated builder restriction. Take a look at this building lot, a full acre, gorgeous ocean view, five minutes from several public beaches, and half way between Cabarete and Sosua, the perfect spot to live so you have easy 5 minute access to either town's restaurants, beaches, and services:
Here's another acre sized lot that is beachfront:

Planning a Visit: So, as you plan your retirement or firm up those dreams for a Caribbean villa of your own, remember, you've got excellent choices we are here to help. Come visit and let's take a look. Your tropical dream villa is closer at hand than you might have realized!
We look forward to seeing you soon, and please feel free to contact Sally or me anytime on Remax Dominican Republic real estate.
Looking for a great business opportunity? This Cabarete property has 4 separately titled villas that can be sold individually, or if you prefer, create the perfect tropical B&B – live in one villa and rent the other three. All 4 villas surround a beautiful tropical pool and gardens. Each has a very private back yard and garden area, one with its own spa/plunge pool. Includes 2 car garage, gym, large storage/work room, caretakers bedroom/bath. Visit Cabarete real estate for more property options in this area.

Carnival Cruise Lines Announces Construction of Two Cruise Ship Docks just Outside Puerto Plata
Tourism and the Condo/Villa Residency Market on the North Coast Just Got a Huge Boost:
Talk about big news for Cabarete, Sosua, and Puerto Plata, Carnival Cruise Lines in mid-August inked a deal that will significantly enhance the visibility of the "Part Time Residency" tsunami that in recent years has attracted such an interesting mix of expats from Canada, The United States, and Europe. Long known as a favorite destination to enjoy the year round wind sports such as kite boarding and wind surfing, the north coast (Cabarete and Sosua) has for years steadily identified itself as a premier real estate value for retirees and vacation home buyers who want to spend a few months in the tropics out of the cold weather in their home countries.
Tourism minister Francisco Javier Garcia announced that the new cruise ship port would be open before the end of 2014, less than a three year window. Carnival Cruise lines plans a $65 million dollar (US) two-berth port facility in the Bay of Maimon just minutes west of Puerto Plata and only five minutes from the Ocean World tourist attraction that has become one of the best Dolphinarium facilities in the world. This area also has a modern boat marina as well as Las Vegas style hotel/show/restaurant.
Gloria Israel, Carnival's VP of Port Development said Dufry (duty free shops) would be a joint developer partner. Though financed entirely by the Carnival/Dufry group, port executives anticipate non-Carnival controlled ships utilizing the facility as well further increasing familiarity with this important Dominican residency/tourism market increasingly being sought out my North Americans looking to escape the grind.
Dredging of a cruise ship channel into the bay will precede construction and land purchases have recently been completed for the deal to proceed as planned.
Carnival Cruise Line is the world's largest cruise ship operator with ten cruise lines that own over 100 ships that visit over 169 ports world wide, an ever expanding universe of connections. The lines include Carnival Cruise Lines, Holland America Line, Princess Cruises and Seabourn. Carnival and sister ship line Costa each dock at the La Romana port. Construction begins in 2012 and the first cruise ship arrival is scheduled for summer 2014.
Carnival will build and operate the cruise terminal and is expected to have complete control over the ship scheduling, passengers and arrival area. Parking and facilities for the taxis and tour buses will be provided under the terms and procedures set forth by Carnival to maintain an efficient cruise ship port operation. This development is expected to be a significant financial boost for the Puerto Plata region with the construction itself generating numerous jobs that later will be supplanted by new jobs generated to service the ships and visiting passengers.
The port will be prepared to receive two ships with around 2,000 passengers and 500 crew members each at the same time.
Re/Max Coral Bay currently sees a window of opportunity for securing high value low cost properties before natural market forces drive prices higher. Now is the time to look at properties to suit a variety of retirement, second home, and rental investment need and this opportune timing is made even more appealing by the recent expansion of the best gated new villa complex on the north coast, only 15 minutes east of the Puerto Plata airport and located between the two charming towns of Cabarete and Sosua.
For a "Catalogue of Homes" or a copy of "The DR Welcome Guide" contact Arthur or Sally. We will be happy to schedule an appointment for you to find your piece of paradise while it is still so amazingly affordable. Contact us today.

I went into this movie with fairly vague expectations - however I am a fan of scary movies, and not to mention a big fan of Jennifer Carpenter, could be good times. so lets go.
This movie was horribly fantastic! It was a ride, a very scary, very stressful ride, but an awesome one. True, this flick does not stray far from the typical zombie flick concepts, but I thought the execution was above par. The 1st person views, the sense of confinement/hopelessness, and the great acting (especially ms carpenter, extremely believable job of someone going hysterically frantic) One of the key things about this horror is the scares never let up, there is rarely a "breather scene" where you get to relax for any amount of time, it just keeps hitting you and hitting you.
haha, phew. I truly enjoyed. check it out. cheers

Horror / Sci-Fi / Thriller
A television reporter and her cameraman are assigned to spend the night shift with a Los Angeles Fire Station. After a routine 911 call takes them to a small apartment building, they find police officers already on the scene in response to blood curdling screams coming from one of the apartment units. They soon learn that a woman living in the building has been infected by something unknown. After a few of the residents are viciously attacked, they try to escape with the news crew in tow, only to find that the CDC has quarantined the building. Phones, internet, televisions and cell phone access have been cut-off, and officials are not relaying information to those locked inside. When the quarantine is finally lifted, the only evidence of what took place is the news crew's videotape.

I went into this movie with fairly vague expectations - however I am a fan of scary movies, and not to mention a big fan of Jennifer Carpenter, could be good times. so lets go.
trying to review this without comparing to the original
I have to say, this whole hysteria of America ruining foreign films is laughable. Yes, there are some really bad remakes, but that does not effect the original film. You cannot ruin a film by remaking it as the original film is still the same. If you are angry, you are angry because you feel that people who really deserve the fame and recognition are not getting it. This is a justified reason to be angry, but don't go saying the film has been ruined because that defies all logic of possibility.
I must say it's hard for me to review this film without thinking about the original, mainly because it is nearly a shot for shot remake. Obviously this takes away from the suspense and overall fear factor of the film. If you have seen the original, don't expect to experience the same level of terror that you had the first go round. You're going to know what's coming for the most part. If you haven't seen REC, this movie will probably scare you. If you actually have the option of seeing REC first, I would do it because I feel that it is still the superior movie. Of course, if you live in America your local video store won't have it and you'll have to download it illegally, so I guess you're stuck between a rock and a hard place.
I actually thought the acting was quite good for the most part. Jennifer Carpenter does a great job playing hysterical women. She did a good job being hysterical in the Emily Rose abomination and she did a good job being hysterical in Dexter. She does a good job being hysterical in this movie as well, so kudos to the producers/directors for making a logical choice to cast her. Her dialogue outside of being chased down by rabid tenants is laughable, but this actually makes sense when you consider the fact she's a reporter for a show no one would watch anyways.
The main difference between REC and this movie is the cause of the deranged building tenants. Surprisingly, I thought they made the story work and it played more on "American" fears such as government distrust, terrorism, and viral warfare. The only thing I think they failed on was the choice to use higher quality production. Part of what made REC really scary was the grittiness which gave you the feeling that what was happening was real. Although the camera work is choreographed well, the Hollywood quality takes away the grit and leaves you feeling like you've had a few too many before watching.
Overall, I think this is actually a decent remake. The producers and director realized that the story was already awesome and they didn't try to change it. I think if people would calm down and put aside their national pride and cultural elitism, they would realize that these kinds of remakes only help foreign films. How many people knew about REC before this movie, outside of a small demographic of people (imdb is not the 'norm')? How many people know about that great movie now? Lots of people visit these websites looking for reviews, and seeing "REC" pop up everywhere is only good exposure. Hell, if this movie does well you might actually find copies of REC in your local video store, and believe me, I'd be the first in line to buy a copy.
Not quite as strong as the original, but still very good.
There must have been comedians in the projection booth the night that some friends and I went to see a family friendly film. These particular friends tend to watch only light-hearted material and get upset for weeks whenever they see horror films or intense thrillers. They were totally unprepared for a 'Quarantine' trailer and it shocked them all so badly that we nearly had to leave and get our money back. Maybe it was because of their strong reaction that my interest in the film has stayed so high for the past several months.
This week I have seen both 'Quarantine' and 'Rec' the film that 'Quarantine' is a remake of. 'Rec' is not without flaws but it is a very solid and chilling horror film. 'Quarantine' is able to expand on several of the strengths in 'Rec' while falling into a few pitfalls of it's own. Both films are about a TV news crew taping a show about what a night in the life of a fireman is like. A seemingly routine call turns out to be something much more and the news crew is trapped in a quickly quarantined building.
Giving credit where it is due, 'Quarantine' kept me on the edge of my seat for most of the movie. It lures you in with a very relaxed opening ten minutes but once you reach the building and the cop in charge asks why the camera crew is there, the whole tone of the movie changes. The fun and games, the light-hearted banter is gone. We only realize how serious it is though when they enter the apartment of an injured old woman. For me the tension starts with the entrance to the apartment and never lets up. Each new segment that the TV crew starts filming holds potential terror. The set design and the lighting are terrific and 'Quarantine' walks a careful tightrope of character action. So often in horror films the audience is yelling with frustration at what characters on the screen are doing because it all goes against common sense. There is a little bit of that early on but 'Quarantine' does a better job of playing to the characters and their panic. Characters die not through naivety or stupidity as much as they do from inevitability and inescapability. The key performance comes from Jennifer Carpenter.
The film's greatest strength and weakness at the same time, Carpenter is the focus of the camera because of her role as the reporter and it isn't an easy part to play. She is solid for the majority of the film but terror essentially overwhelms her with ten minutes to go and she is reduced to a sobbing, shrieking, shivering bowl of jello. Would I or anyone else be any better in the situation that 'Quarantine' creates? Hard for me to say but probably not. The problem is that there were three primary acting choices for her to make in the final ten minutes: she could play it as a hysteric (which she does), she could play it as numbing down her fear like the cameraman does in order to try and escape, or she could have been so overwhelmed by her fear that she becomes a functional catatonic working on autopilot. Carpenter's choice is probably the 'truest' choice for how people would react. That doesn't mean that it is going to make for good drama. Her transformation from confident and outgoing to hysterical jabbering is so jarring that it feels forced instead of real. The camera man keeps telling her to calm down when they've reached a potentially safe room but she is far beyond the calming down stage and well into the years of therapy one instead. I found it to be just too much and actually pulled me out of the horror and towards comedy instead.
'Rec' felt a bit more organic and gritty than 'Quarantine.' The performances are decent in both but you feel less of a connection to the characters in 'Quarantine.' Many are clearly there to serve as fodder with no attempt to seriously develop them. 'Rec' does a much better job, particularly when the reporter interviews each of the buildings residents. The five minutes spent in filming those sequences gave more of a stake to the audience into the well-being of those characters. That never really takes off in 'Quarantine' and I regret that they didn't follow the lead of 'Rec'. One thing that I thought 'Quarantine' did a much better job of was in plot clarity and how they provided information. The clues to the source of what is going on are much more explicit and come very early in the movie. 'Rec' dropped a few hints for the viewer to put together but relies on the final five minutes to give the major clues about patient zero. What patient zero is spreading is clearer in the remake and I thought the clarity benefited the plot. Of course by the time you find out about patient zero, Carpenter's character is beyond being able to help provide the audience with anymore real analytical power. Don't blink or you'll miss everything you need to know.
I give the slight edge to 'Rec', but certainly recommend 'Quarantine' to horror fans. It's problems aren't severe enough to detract from a very decent effort.

Hi all,
I am new to launching on the adventure of going primal and I have a quick question. Is Mayonnaise ok or should I steer clear?
Hi all,
I am new to launching on the adventure of going primal and I have a quick question. Is Mayonnaise ok or should I steer clear?
Depends on the ingredients. If you make it yourself, using eggs, olive oil, lemon juice, salt, then it's fine.
I would stay the hell away from store bought mayonnaise unless you plan on making it your 20%.
Ingredient list of a popular store-bought mayonnaise: SOYBEAN OIL, WATER, WHOLE EGGS AND EGG YOLKS, VINEGAR, SALT, SUGAR, LEMON JUICE, CALCIUM DISODIUM EDTA, NATURAL FLAVORS.
F 28/5'4/100 lbs
"I'm not a psychopath, I'm a high-functioning sociopath; do your research."
eggs and oil, what's to argue with?
edit: as above, that's homemade stuff i'm talking about
I make my own and it is delicious.
Definitely avoid any store bought mayo. It's easy enough to make on your own if you have a food processor or immersion blender. It might take you some time to get used to the different flavor of the homemade mayo, but eventually you will lose your taste for the store bought stuff.
I make my own, but have found I like to substitute sour cream for mayo in most things ... it's a lot easier.
One of the very few non-Primal things lingering in my house is mayo. I use the olive oil kind, but it still has some soybean oil in it. I consider it my 20%, but I do need to get into the habit of making my own. I don't use mayo that often anyway, occasionally I plop a bit into dips/dressings to mellow out the sour cream or yogurt tang a bit. I've found that using avocado in tuna/chicken salads is much tastier, and I don't do sandwiches very often anymore since making paleo/primal bread is an event. Once this jar is gone, it stays gone.
Great idea! Thanks for the avocado idea. Today my husband and I made an egg salad and used avocado and a bunch of veggies with a little bit of a spicy mustard. It was yummy!
It's easy to make mayo. Olive oil - make sure it's not the strong flavor extra virgin kind, egg, egg yolk, lemon juice and Dijon mustard.
The store bought kind, definitely a no no. I have seen Spectrum offering mayo made with canola oil, which is definitely not Primal but still a step up from soy bean. I have no idea if it's any good taste wise though.
ah mustard! that's what i'm missing!
Made mayo three times so far and yes it's a different taste to storebought (less sweet by far!) but it still feels like it's missing something. I will try mustard next time.

Wide open spaces for pets and people!
Enjoy the beach and downtown fun from the privacy of this unique 2 bedroom 2 bath home, just 3 blocks from Atlantic Ave and 8 blocks from the beach.
Lush native plantings, open floor plan living area, gracious courtyard and back porch make this a wonderful space for entertaining and relaxing.
Bikes and beach pass provided.
Plenty of room in the driveway for trailered boat or multiple cars.
Single car garage also available.
Pets will have room to romp in the huge fenced back yard, and can make new friends at our famous dog park just 7 minutes drive away.
A well appointed home where everything possible will be provided to ensure a comfortable and memorable vacation in Delray Beach.
Living in Delray 23 years, I'm an artist and sailor from the Northeast who also stays on Cape Cod.
I look forward to sharing the fun-filled town of Delray, and this special house, with you.
Helen purchased this house in 1993
I fell in love with this house immediately, and so do many others.
Built in 1960 and renovated in 2006, it has original pine ceilings and terrazzo floors in the old section, and a modern loft-style concrete floor and wood ceilings in the new part. The entry courtyard sets a relaxed mediterranean mood. High ceilings and garden views from every window allow plenty of breathing room and privacy. I love the abundance of nature on the property as a contrast to the bustling activity downtown.
I could easily just cut and paste the owner's description here. This rental is truly a bright, airy sanctuary in a great location, near everything. The home is clean and spacious and easily accommodates four adults with its large bedrooms and two bathrooms. The master bedroom has a functional office space, which unfortunately we had to use frequently during our vacation. The kitchen is well appointed with up-to-date appliances. Everything we needed to prepare our meals was at our disposal. If I have one minor complaint, it would be the lack of a chef's knife.
What drew me to the house initially was all the options available for dining, entertaining and relaxing. If the weather permits, the outdoor courtyard is perfect for morning coffee, afternoon cocktail or just reading a book. If rain is in the forecast, as it was virtually our entire stay, the screened-in patio is the next best thing. The backyard is like a tropical rain forest, lush, green and begging to be explored. A few ripe mangos fell off the tree, practically into my lap and onto the breakfast table.
The location of the house couldn't be much better. Nestled into a quiet street, the house is only two blocks or so from Atlantic Ave making it a short walk to the heart of Delray Beach and a variety of restaurants and shops. Head three or four blocks north and you're at Publix Market and Walgreen's drug store. You're also a quick bike ride or car drive to the public beach. A beach pass is provided for the use of an umbrella and two chairs. That'll save you $40 in rental fees.
We only stayed 4 nights here, but I would love to come back for a week or more. Helen is an excellent host who made sure that if we needed anything we could call for assistance. I highly recommend this Delray Beach gem.
This home has the "beach house" feel. It's lovely! The landscaping is tropical, and we found ourselves exploring it every day. It is a close walk to restaurants and the beach. The little details made our stay perfect! We cooked, barbecued, sat in the screened I'm patio, and generally enjoyed every part of the home!
We've been to Delray Beach many times over 28 years and had never stayed near the beach until this trip.
We loved this house and how close it is to everything. The photos are a really good representation of the property.
The owner has made sure that anything you could need is available from cooking supplies to beach tags for chairs to bikes.
The house was spotless and well maintained and the owner left us notes and a phone number in case we had questions.
There are lots of great restaurants within walking distance, and galleries, and shops. A short car ride away are nature preserves with birds galore.
We were in Delray mainly for business, but we tried to take advantage of everything in the area. And we really enjoyed sitting in the courtyard just relaxing.
The home has lots of interesting art on the walls, and CDs and movie DVDs…nothing was lacking. We'd stay again without hesitation and highly recommend it.
Beautifully decorated with personal touches. Impeccably clean. Piano and guitar available for musicians. Gorgeous tropical garden. Old Delray Beach charm. Can't wait to come back every year to make this our Florida vacation escape.
What a wonderful home ! Our visit to Delaray Beach was improved ten fold by choosing the unique , clean and comfortable home. As stated convenient short walk to restaurants , shopping , beach and every possible convenience but nesseled into quiet, quaint and safe neighborhood which felt miles away. The private large and sunny court yard with water feature was heavenly. Lush tropical garden and comfortable and beautiful screened in patio doubles as living space with comfortable seating and dinning area. The home had every possible necessity and then some. The owner was so helpful and responsive to any and all questions, concerns and available to help with suggestion on any number of inquiry's . The entire experience was a pleasure , we hope to repeat.
This is a very cute, very well maintained house. Kitchen is very well equipped and the beds are great. Two patios make the house great for the Florida weather.
But the best feature is the location. Walk to beach, walk to town and restaurants, walk to grocery store and drug store. Beach pass and bikes were provided with the property. Owner is responsive and pleasant. I would highly recommend this property.

The science behind UX.
I am a product of the David Carson era, which I believe made my transition to UXD an obvious and easy one. Having been through the often incommunicative, highly illegible, over worked designs, I have a profound respect for information architecture, data visualization and providing the user with a solution that feels as through it's natural and anticipates their next step or thought.
I'm southern born and raised, cajun educated, north western trained and mid-western planted. I find joy in the process of solving the problem.

So the away-goals rule—implemented by UEFA in 1965—could well be done away with.
Praise be.
As the regulation's many critics have pointed out in recent years, it is both illogical and counterproductive to persist with away goals as a tie-breaker, and while the rule may have served a purpose at one time, its usefulness has long since expired.
On Thursday, at a gathering of internationally renowned coaches in Nyon, Switzerland, former Manchester United manager Sir Alex Ferguson confirmed that away goals had been discussed at length.
"There was a bit of a debate about whether it has any significance today," he remarked, as per The Guardian. "Some think it is not as important as it used to be."
Count Arsene Wenger among that set.
"The weight of the away goal is too heavy, too big and is not justifiable anymore," the Arsenal boss said last December, according to The Telegraph. "I think it is a problem in the modern game."
He's right, and over the next few slides we'll examine why.
Here are five reasons why UEFA's away-goals rule should be scrapped—ASAP.

Treatment Protocol 1: SIBO
SIBO is a medical condition where a person has too many bad bacteria in their small intestine. This is usually caused by both a poor American diet and long term use of a PPI drug (Proton Pump Inhibitor). Long term use of PPI's causes bacteria that would normally be eliminated by stomach acid, to survive and flourish in the small intestine. Also the American diet of fermenting carbohydrates causes the bacteria to thrive and produce lots of excess gas. The lack of stomach acid also causes food proteins to be partially undigested which causes allergies to develop and this causes even more gas to build up.
The bacteria also make protective biofilms (one of the most common examples of a biofilm is the "film" found on your teeth when you don't brush for awhile) which make eradication with antibiotics very difficult. The biofilm protect the bacteria from antibiotic treatment, bactericides, and probiotics. To destroy the opportunistic bacteria you have to also destroy the biofilm that it is hiding behind. This can be obtained by either breaking down the biofilm itself using systemic enzymes or by chelating the Iron out of the biofilm to break it up by using either Calcium Disodium EDTA or NAC.
The main symptoms of SIBO are indigestion, lots of gas, and horrible smelling deification, burps, and flatulence. Most people with IBS are walking around with SIBO as their main cause of their problems. Other symptoms of SIBO include abdominal pains, constipation and/or diarrhea, food allergies, and low grade fever. One of the biggest correlations between a condition and a disease are Rosacea and SIBO. In one major study 96% of Rosacea patients were in remission or cured for at least 9 months after taking Rifaxmin to treat their SIBO.
A hydrogen breath test is used to diagnose SIBO. It is a non-invasive fasting test done in which a doctor has you breathe into a machine that monitors the excess hydrogen or methane that is released by the extra opportunistic bacteria in your small intestine. You are either given glucose, dextrose, or lactulose and results are collected at twenty minute intervals for at least 3-5 hours. If you produce at least 20 ppm of hydrogen or methane then you are positive for SIBO (but even a result of 12 ppm should be treated at the very minimum). Lactulose is the best to use because it isn't absorbed by the intestinal tract itself. Glucose is easily absorbed by both the bacteria and the intestines. This means it can give a false reading because at least 17 ft of the small intestine will not be tested because of the quick glucose absorption.
Are Opportunistic Bacteria The Main Cause of Leaky Gut?
The excess bacteria in the small intestine can wreck havoc with your health and lead you digestion into a vicious cycle. The more opportunistic bacteria in your small intestine, the more food they consume which can lead to nutrient deficiency of B 12 and Iron, which then leads to the patient developing anemia. The bacteria also consume more nutrients that are now unabsorbed by the gut which leads to both more bacteria and gas production. This leads to abdominal bloating, pain, and flatulence.
The bacteria then start to decrease fat absorption which leads to stool problems with color / fat content and this also leads to deficiencies in vitamins A and D. The intestinal lining further degrades and eventually can't digest larger food particles which cause food allergies and sensitivities (gluten first, then usually followed by fructose problems, then lactose digestion problems).
Bacteria then enter the bloodstream from the loss of integrity in the intestinal wall and start an immune reaction that causes fatigue, systemic pain, and elevated liver enzymes. Finally, the bacteria start to excrete acids that cause neurological and cognitive problems like brain fog and memory problems. The cycle then continues as the body's Immune system tries to kill of the opportunistic bacteria which at the same time poison the body with acids and toxins. The vicious cycle then repeats itself in the patient, who becomes sick for a very long time.

Also depressing me, as I'm not that far from eligibility.I suspect that the cuts will be aimed more at doctors, hospitals, and patients than the powerful pharmaceutical industry, but even they may be hurt a bit. Oncology drugs in particular are mostly used by the over-65 population.
You underestimate the Lobbyist that actually determine policy.I wish us all the best on the future of Medicare.
I think when all is said and done -- meaning when the planned "bipartisan commission" reports in late November and its recommendations are most likely (not that I wish it, though they've created a Hobson's choice) adopted -- they'll mostly cut payments to providers and maybe increase premiums and copays for patients, with payments to pharma surviving mostly unscathed. But in the meantime, I think the uncertainty as to where the cuts will fall will hurt biotechs.

The offensive line took some hits with the losses of Calvin Darity and Garrett Reynolds, and the depth there is pretty thin. What steps can UNC take to shore up this area during fall camp, or is the plan to try and get through this year while younger talented players get acclimated?
Don: Due to the lack of depth, I wouldn't be surprised to see a couple of the incoming freshmen in the two-deep. Travis Bond, for example, already has the required size, he just needs to work on his technique and learn UNC's schemes.
Greg: While I think offensive line depth issues are typically blown out of proportion because those statements are made assuming injuries, losing Aaron Stahl in addition to Darity and Reynolds means that UNC departs with over 90 starts along the line. Mike Ingersoll received the bulk of the snaps at right tackle in the spring, but the staff has raved about red-shirt sophomores Carl Gaskins and Kevin Bryant, as well as red-shirt freshman Jonathan Cooper, for two years now. It's time for those players to live up to the expectations and give the Tar Heels a legitimate 7-to-8 man rotation.
Mark: To be honest this is my biggest area of concern on the offensive side of the ball. Losing Garrett (Reynolds), Calvin (Darity) and Aaron (Stahl) will be tough. Garrett was the hardest working player I have ever been around. Calvin had a lot of experience and Aaron played valuable minutes the last two seasons. Losing Richard Quinn at tight end is also a huge loss because of his outstanding blocking ability. That being said, we have Alan Pelc, Kyle Jolly and Lowell Dyer coming back who have played and contributed. I look for this group to continue to get tougher, more physical and in better shape, because we are very thin behind them. The inexperience and depth is concerning. Jonathan Cooper and Mike Ingersoll will probably round up the starting five and have no true playing time between them. Look for Coach Pittman to try his best to develop as much depth as possible for the opener, and try to get guys in the game to gain experience.
Buck: If Travis Bond has to play as a true freshman, the wheels have fallen off the wagon. What I will look for is what the staff and other players say about the progress of players like Greg Elleby, Kevin Bryant, and Cam Holland. I look for Kyle Jolly to play left tackle and back up right tackle, with Carl Gaskins the first guy off the bench at tackle. Alan Pelc will play right guard while Jon Cooper should be fine at left guard, but the depth there is a concern. I keep hearing good things about Elleby's progress, and it would be huge for the line if he can be a legitimate reserve at guard. How well Coach Pittman can shuffle the deck to develop some depth at offensive line will be one of the most important offensive storylines of fall camp.
For T.J. Yates to have a stellar junior year, what area or areas does he need to concentrate on during fall camp?
Mark: Stay healthy, develop a solid running game, and consistent pass protection would be a start. Then bringing along the receivers as quickly as possible is the next step. T.J. is the leader of the offense and he has got more talent than many people give him credit for. T.J. will manage the game like he has always done, but his success or lack thereof will lie on the shoulders of the O-line, receivers' and running backs. I think he is one of the best QBs in the ACC, but this is a team game and he is the leader, but will need a supporting cast to help him lead this team to week in and week out success.
Don: Yates needs to focus on preventive measures to stay healthy this season. While there are plenty of areas of his game that need work (i.e. accuracy and velocity), it won't make a difference if he finds himself on the training table with an injury. Also, behind Yates, UNC has a lot of question marks.
Greg: This one's easy – stay healthy. While he recovered from shoulder surgery following the '07 season, Yates locked himself in the film room. After fracturing his ankle against Virginia Tech last fall, the red-shirt junior learned from the sideline and then worked diligently in the offseason on his footwork and quickness. Yates has all of the tools, including leadership capabilities. Now he just has to stay healthy enough to showcase those talents to the college football world.
Buck: Maybe I am seeing the glass half full, but it is not as though Yates doesn't have some of the necessary pieces around him for a successful offense. Draughn and Houston were, at a minimum, adequate last year and should be improved. Greg Little has some experience, and there is a lot of talent, albeit unproven, among the wide receivers. Yates has a solid safety valve in Zach Pianalto, who could be in for a big year. Put another way, I'd be far more concerned about the offense if the Tar Heels were starting a red-shirt freshman at quarterback and had more experience at wide receiver. I see this one as pretty much all about the offensive line. If they can help establish the run even more and do a decent job in pass protection, Yates could have a monster year.

Q. Can you use '80s when referring to the 1880s? Thanks.
A. Yes. But if you want people to know what you're talking about, and your context hasn't already made it clear which century you're in, then no.
Q. While copyediting several scientific research papers in different fields (mathematics, chemistry, physics, medicine, etc.), we encounter some uncountable nouns used in countable forms (with plural s and preceded by an or a). Some of these words may be used across the paper more than a hundred times, and correcting these may require rephrasing some parts. The authors of the papers complain that this is how they use these terms. Is it possible to use these uncountable nouns in the countable forms if this is how they are used in the scientific field? Also, should I question every single noun used in the research paper and check whether it is countable or uncountable?
A. Without examples, it's difficult to know how to advise you, but normally it is the copyeditor's job to render prose in standard English and query unfamiliar usages, especially if they dominate in a given text. (It's the unglamorous side of editing!)
Q. My question is about this sentence construction: I'm bigger, stronger, and I know more about it. In narration, I would change this to "I'm bigger and stronger, and I know more about it." But when it appears in dialogue in novels, I'm inclined to leave it as is. What's Chicago's take on this construction? Am I right to be fixing it in narration? Thank you!
A. It's a judgment call. But by editing only the punctuation, you can eliminate the infelicity and retain the original language: I'm bigger, stronger. And I know more about it.
Q. In mathematics it is common to refer to an important construction or theorem due to several authors by joining their names together with hyphens. For example, one often refers to the Cartan-Eilenberg spectral sequence for the spectral sequence of Cartan and Eilenberg. There seems to be room for confusion when an author's name is already hyphenated. For example, some authors refer to the conjecture of Birch and Swinnerton-Dyer as the Birch-Swinnerton-Dyer conjecture, whereas others write the Birch and Swinnerton-Dyer conjecture. Is there a style which you recommend?
A. Since using two hyphens (or an en dash and a hyphen) would be confusing, use and instead.
Q. Should the sound (i.e., pronunciation) of a parenthetically included word be factored in when deciding between a and an? "Patent holders may wish to consider a (preliminary) injunction" or "Patent holders may wish to consider an (preliminary) injunction." Lots of Internet discussion on this one, but I can't seem to find any definitive answer in style manuals or grammar books.
A. A definitive answer would be hard to find, but the reader can't skip over the word in parentheses, and either choice is problematic. In most cases like this, there's little to justify having parentheses in the first place. Removing them is the easiest solution.
Q. Hello. I wonder where in the CMOS might lie hidden the answer to the following question: should I refer readers to "Table 1, in contrast to Tables 2 and 3," or to "Table 1, in contrast to tables 2 and 3"? In other words, should all items in a numbered series such as tables, sections, chapters, etc., be capitalized in such references? A minipoll among colleagues has yielded mixed results; hence my appeal to the Ultimate Authority in Such Matters.
A. We have very sneakily hidden it under section 3.51 ("Numbering tables"). It is also hidden in the index under "Tables > numbering of, 1.55, 2.26, 3.51–52, 3.54."
Q. I edit academic papers in Canadian Press style, which uses per cent rather than percent. However, I am always told that while the text must be Canadian Press, the footnotes must be Chicago style. Since it looks odd to have per cent in the text and percent in the footnotes, is it permissible to alter that word to Canadian Press style in footnotes? The same would go for the problem with Canadian Press style: colour, behaviour, etc., in the text as opposed to color and behavior in the footnotes.
A. Anyone who asks an editor to use Canadian Press style in the text and Chicago style in the notes is begging for inconsistencies in all the ways you mention and more. And if you're able to use two style guides simultaneously without mixing things up, you deserve double pay! However, given the possibility that you are taking the instructions too literally, you should run this by your supervisor. Once made to see the issues, your supervisor might clarify—e.g., that you should use Canadian spelling throughout.
Q. I'm editing a translated interview transcription for publication by a university press. The sentence in question reads as follows: I asked, "Mr. agent, why don't you do me a favor." The speaker is addressing an unidentified agent of a Colombian paramilitary. The uncapitalized agent looks strange following the title of address, but then of course agent isn't an actual capitalizable name. Should I go with "Mr. Agent," or would "Mister Agent" take some of the formal edge off, or is "Mr. agent" preferable?
A. "Mister Agent" or "Mr. Agent" would both follow the customary capitalization. I agree that there is little precedent for "Mr. agent."
Q. What is the proper way to punctuate or structure a bulleted list of items that ends with "and much more!"? Thank you!
A. "And much more" can be the last item in the list, or it can be the first words of a paragraph that continues after the list. Punctuate the items as you would a list in running text. For guidelines on punctuating different kinds of lists, please see CMOS 6.123–25.
Q. Dear CMOS experts, I'm in a debate with my thesis advisor regarding using years or decades as time-stamp adjectives. For instance, I might write: "Fitzgerald's 1925 novel The Great Gatsby" or "influenced by 1950s rock and roll." However, my advisor says this is wrong. It should be "Fitzgerald's novel from 1925 The Great Gatsby" or "rock and roll from the 1950s." Who is right?
A. You are right, but your advisor is following a zombie rule that won't die, and there may be no point in arguing. You might ask your advisor to point you to the rule in an up-to-date style manual. You can also point to CMOS 5.82 as support for your own view.
Q. I'm writing this with tears in my eyes, my family and I were mugged at the park of the hotel where we stayed all cash, credit card and mobile phone were stolen off us. It would take me 5 working days to access funds in my account, our flight will be leaving in less than 8-hrs but the hotel manager won't let us leave until we settle the bills, i promise to make the refund once we get back home.I need about $1,940. You can have the cash wired via Money Gram transfer, thank God i have my passport ID as identification to pick up the money. John Brewer, 54 Boulevard Chave, 13005 Marseille, France. Let me know if you are heading to the Money Gram outlet now.
A. Don't worry! We sent $3,000 (for good measure) to John Bowen, Montpellier, France (eek—is that right? Hope so!). Meanwhile, let us help: you have a serious problem with run-on sentences; Chicago normally spells out numbers up to and including one hundred; there is no need for a hyphen in "eight hours"; periods need a space after; and the personal pronoun "I" should be capitalized. Good thing you wrote!
Q. I wrote a report at work, and whenever I wrote a sentence such as "Most businesses pay taxes monthly, however, some small businesses pay taxes quarterly," the sentence was changed to "Most businesses pay taxes monthly. However, some small businesses pay taxes quarterly." Is this correct?
A. It's fine to use however in the middle of a sentence ("In the morning, however, I like to have coffee"). But you used however to join two sentences: (1) "Most businesses pay taxes monthly" and (2) "some small businesses pay taxes quarterly." Your editor was correct to separate them properly. The editor could also have chosen to join your sentences with a semicolon or dash: "Most businesses pay taxes monthly; however, some small businesses pay taxes quarterly." Please see CMOS 5.207 and 6.55.
Q. When tables are double enumerated (3.1, 3.2, etc.) is a full stop placed after the number and before the space separating it from the table title?
A. This is usually a design decision rather than an editorial one. You can see examples of it with and without the period at CMOS 3.52 ("Table titles").
Q. I'm editing a Regency-era romance, and there are several references to the Secretary of Foreign Affairs, shortened to Foreign Secretary in some places and Secretary in others. I'm aware of Chicago's preference for lowercase in such circumstances. I find myself using lowercase for the prime minister with ease, but the secretary is giving me pause. I'm worried about creating confusion with the modern idea of clerical secretaries.
A. In a Regency-era romance where the full title and partial title of the secretary of foreign affairs appear in several places, you can probably trust readers to understand that this character is not an administrative assistant in the office of a modern start-up. (If not, capitalization should be the least of your worries.)
Q. I'm editing a dissertation that quotes letters and interviews and other private documents. I understand that authors' names in the bibliography do not include clerical titles such as Father, Bishop, and Archbishop. Does that apply to footnotes as well? And should the clerical titles be omitted for the recipients of the letters? Given that the dissertation concerns all manner of ecclesiastical matters, it includes many references to clergy at all levels of the hierarchy.
A. You were right to inquire! In scholarship, it's much more important to include information that is relevant to the work than to follow a style guide's preferences. Style must accommodate the work, not the other way around. As you suspect, in a dissertation concerning ecclesiastical matters, the titles of people can be very important, indicating their place in the clerical hierarchy, their manners, their viewpoints, or their power relative to the addressee. If the writer included them, they should not be removed without consultation, and the writer's wish to keep them should take precedence over a style preference.
Q. In the first example in 8.158, the word than is capitalized: "Mnemonics That Work Are Better Than Rules That Do Not." This does not seem to be in keeping with your general principles of headline-style capitalization. We'd be grateful if you would clarify.
A. Than is a conjunction in that title and therefore capped (see 8.157, point 1; but see point 4 for some conjunctions that are not capped). When than is a preposition in a title ("Younger than Springtime"), Chicago style lowercases it. (Check the examples in a good dictionary to figure out which part of speech a word is.)
Q. I am writing a long research paper, and in almost every page the footnotes take up nearly half the page. Most of my sources have URLs with them; am I allowed to take out all of the URLs in the footnotes if they are included in my bibliography?
A. You should ask your instructor what's allowed, but as far as Chicago is concerned, footnotes may consist of short citations (author, short title, page number) when there's a bibliography to provide full citations. Please see CMOS 14.18.
Q. Is it permissible to modify the verb tenses in a quotation to fit the grammatical and/or aesthetic structure of a sentence, presuming that the meaning of the original is not otherwise altered?
A. This is not permissible unless you show your changes in brackets:
Sherman asked whether he could alter the verb tenses "presuming that the meaning of the original [was] not otherwise altered."
You can read about this use of brackets at 13.12 and 13.58. (For other kinds of permitted changes to quotations, see CMOS 13.7–8.)
Q. Many online journals are switching from continuous pagination of their articles to assigning each article a number. I'm working with a company that wants to incorporate these article numbers in their citations. Where would the article number go in the citation?
A. Since CMOS is silent on this, it's up to you, but logic would suggest that article numbers come after volume numbers.
Q. I took typing in 1967 and was taught the two-space convention and have used it ever since. That is, until one of those pesky millennials complained and slapped me with your website. When did the convention change?
A. I'm afraid we can't pin this one on millennials! The convention changed quite a while ago. (Our Q&A has covered the topic more than once, and you can read more about it at Wikipedia.)
Q. I'm editing a biography of a WWII pilot. Would bomber training and fighter training be capitalized because they are referring to specific types of planes?
A. Fighters and bombers are not actually specific types of planes; they are general categories. Specific types of fighters would be (for example) the Grumman F-14 Tomcat, the McDonnell Douglas F-15 Eagle, and the Lockheed Martin F-22 Raptor. You can find a list of WWII fighters and bombers here.
Q. A friend and I are debating over the proper use of as in this sentence: "You are as unique as your style." My friend believes the sentence requires a verb at the end such as "You are as unique as your style is." We cannot figure out which construction is correct.
A. The verb is is implied; it's not necessary to state it.
Q. How would this be punctuated correctly? "The AZ Group of Companies', comprising ABC Machine Company, DEF Machine Company, and GHI Corporation, mission is to provide . . ." or "The AZ Group of Companies,' comprising ABC Machine Company, DEF Machine Company, and GHI Corporation, mission is to provide . . ."? I'm writing a brochure and can't find it anywhere online.
A. Forgive the bluntness, but you will never find this online, because no one would ever write it either way. Please rewrite it—there are many better ways. Here are two suggestions:
The mission of the AZ Group of Companies, comprising ABC, etc., is to provide . . .
The mission of the AZ Group of Companies (ABC, etc.) is to provide . . .
Q. Is there a rule I can point to in self-defense to justify the following hyphenation of compound nouns: "in private- and business life"? Business life is an unhyphenated compound noun in this sentence, but the first term, private, is hyphenated by virtue of being separated from the second term of its compound form, life. Does that sound right?
A. Not quite. Private life and business life are simply two adjective-noun combinations (not compounds), which you compacted a bit in your example by not repeating life. Think of similar constructions that you probably wouldn't even consider hyphenating; yours is no different:
in big and small matters
through textbook and online instruction
at public and private venues
Q. In a graph with two labeled y axes, where the left axis label is turned counterclockwise so that it is read from down to up, what direction should the right label be turned: clockwise or counterclockwise?
A. Both axes should face the same direction so they can be read at the same time without any need to turn the book. Your readers' necks will thank you.

With all eyes on the Republican convention this week, it seems important to ask: What role did journalists play in launching the candidacy of Donald Trump? A huge role, according to a new study from Harvard's Shorenstein Center on Media, Politics and Public Policy. You can read the report here. It concludes:
"Trump is arguably the first bona fide media-created presidential nominee. Although he subsequently tapped a political nerve, journalists fueled his launch."
The journalists at Round Earth aren't covering the campaign directly (our mission is to report from outside the US or in the US on issues like immigration that have an international connection).

60 seconds with Allan Conway on emerging market volatility
Schroders Head of Emerging Market Equities Allan Conway discusses why he remains optimistic over the outlook for emerging markets despite recent volatility induced by worries over China.
7 September 2015
Opportunities emerge in wake of volatility
There has been a huge amount of volatility in markets triggered by concerns over China and Emerging Markets, but looking at the longer-term fundamental arguments there are reasons to be optimistic.
- Emerging Markets are counting for 60-70% of global growth for the foreseeable future.
- Countries like India and China are still growing in excess of 6%, with 2.5billion people who are getting richer and consuming more. That's having a dramatic impact on global trade patterns.
- The economic fundamentals in these countries generally is very positive; they are growing well, debt levels are broadly lower, and reserves are high.
Because of the sell off in these markets, and their underperformance, we believe that valuations are increasingly supportive, while investors remain relatively under-exposed to the region.

News and commentary from the Pro-Life Action League
I was dismayed to read the letter released by Bishop Patrick Zurek of Amarillo, Texas, advising his fellow bishops that he is calling Fr. Frank Pavone back to the diocese, effectively stopping his work as head of Priests for Life.
I have known Fr. Frank personally since he was appointed by Cardinal John O'Connor as director of Priests for Life 20 years ago. I have frequently appeared with Fr. Frank at pro-life conferences and have participated in myriad projects with him. I can honestly say that I have never met a more dedicated, passionate and hard-working pro-lifer, priest or layman.
I know for a fact that Fr. Pavone never charges a dime for a speaking engagement. He travels wherever he is invited and pours himself into his mission to motivate Catholics and faithful Christians to join the fight against abortion, to reach out in compassion to troubled and desperate pregnant mothers and to lead post-abortive women and men to healing in Jesus Christ.
I have heard Fr. Pavone speak dozens of times. Each presentation is unique, thoughtful and rooted in the Gospel. I have spent time with Father in between workshops, driving to airports and even on a morning fishing expedition on Lake Michigan. I can testify to the fact that Fr. Frank Pavone does not relax. He works full time. Not eight hours a day, but more like eighteen hours a day. He desperately wants to spread the Gospel of Life, to make people understand the urgency of the mission to restore the sanctity of life.
As a lifelong Catholic, I have tremendous respect for the hierarchy of the Church. But I am very sorry that the bishop, himself a strong advocate for life, has taken the tone and the action that he has. I have no doubt that a review of Fr. Pavone's oversight of Priests for Life will reveal that all donations to the organization are spent prudently and with due stewardship in keeping with the mission of protecting the weakest of our brothers and sisters.
I offer my prayers and support to Fr. Frank and pray that this controversy with Bishop Zurek will be swiftly and amicably resolved.
Note: Visitor comments do not necessarily reflect the views of the Pro-Life Action League.
When Bishop Zurek attacks Fr. Pavone the Bishop attacks all of us pro-lifers. Let the USCCB know that we're watching how each and every bishop responds to Zurek's libel of Fr. Pavone.
Please, please include my name,
Marianna Trzeciak, Esq. of Texas
Fr. Pavone story is so obvious that we are all missing it. Politics. No, not Church Politics, National Politics. In 2008, Fr. Pavone was outspokenly anti-Obama. In 2010, Fr. Pavone paticipated in the protest against Obama speaking at Notre Dame University. The Presidential election is next year. Right now, Obama's poll numbers keep sinking. Obama needs every vote he can get to get re-elected. So how does this look to Obama and his people? Fr. Pavone needs to be taken out. This is National Politics, Chicago-Style. Where does Bishop Zurek come in? According to Huffington Post columnist Father Alberto Cutie (Episcopalian), Sept. 19: "His bishop in Amarillo is certainly much more progressive than he is, so there could be some ideological clashes there…" Okay, do these "ideological clashes" translate into the Bishop's Democratic associations? Those associations include a relationship with former Mayor of San Antonio, Ed Garza. Garza appointed Bishop Zurek to serve on his Committee on Integrity and Trust in Local Government for the city of San Antonio. Ed Garza, sharing the Democratic leanings of other Hispanics in Texas, endorsed Obama in 2008, saying: "Senator Obama's unique ability to bring people together and bridge partisan divides make him the best candidate to bring change we can believe in." I don't want to suggest that Bishop Zurek himself is being a party to a 'dirty tricks campaign' against Fr. Frank Pavone, but the possibility exists that circumstances around the Bishop have been manipulated, with an agenda in mind.
