Ethereums Taylor Gerring Says Blockchain Is The Way Forward
Taylor Gerring currently works with Ethereum Foundation, a Switzerland-based nonprofit focused on the development, education, and adoption of decentralizing technologies like blockchain.As a founding member, he helped establish the infrastructure enabling for a globally-distrusted team to develop a common blockchain platform and is currently focusing his efforts on education as he tries to explain the many use cases for decentralized ledgers.
Why blockchain is the way forwardI spoke with Taylor Gerring, asking about the relevance of blockchain beyond digital payments and why IoT professionals should be taking note of the digital ledger technology.
One of the most exciting parts of working in the blockchain industry is that we're continually discovering new ways to apply this technology beyond simple value transfer, Taylor begins.
While cryptocurrency is a critical aspect of any public system due to tragedy of the commons, this core piece of technology turns out to be the least interesting to most people. Once you've made the mental leap that value can be natively transmitted over the internet without financial intermediaries, all sorts of new applications become possible.
"If instead, devices were programmed to "speak blockchain", they could benefit from the uninterrupted service that blockchains have enjoyed since their inception." Taylor Gerring, Ethereum Foundation
The Ethereum Foundation champions the cause of cryptocurrency it will live or die based upon how successful blockchain ultimately is. I asked Taylor whats so important about blockchain that makes it worth risking everything on.
"In the end, building advanced blockchain applications is about enabling better communication and coordination to the benefit of us humans, he explains. Some people see this as an opportunity to flex their creative muscles. Others see ways to streamline otherwise value-subtracting administrative overhead.
More still see this as an intermediate step to enable improved governance and digital rights around the world. This is where a blockchain platform like Ethereum excels, since it provides a landscape for future developers to program whatever they feel passionate about.
Those of us working on creating these new platforms have all the incentives to make these platforms easily usable by developers around the world, since the whole point of creating this technology was to use it ourselves.
How blockchain benefits IoTSo what benefits can blockchains bring to the internet of things specifically? Blockchains represent an entirely new layer of functionality atop the internet which simply wasn't possible before 2009, Taylor says. Up until Bitcoin was released by Satoshi Nakamoto, no one had solved the problem digital uniqueness without relying on a central authority.
If you're a manufacturer of IoT devices, it might seem like a ludicrous suggestion that you're not in authoritative control of all these devices, but the reality is more nuanced. Indeed, device manufacturers or owners can retain full and total control over device, but now, all these devices can use a shared protocol to talk to one another without being dependent on some licensing fee or standards body.
And although some companies have been pushing integration solutions (such as IFTTT or Apple's HomeKit), we are actually presented with another single point of failure in a precarious chain of interoperability. If instead, devices were programmed to "speak blockchain", they could benefit from the uninterrupted service that blockchains have enjoyed since their inception.
Since the ledger is distributed amongst thousands of peers across the internet, it requires only a single copy to be online. In this way, the mesh resilience of peer-to-peer networks becomes a huge benefit.

He may be passionate about the positive aspects of using digital ledgers for online security, but Taylor Gerring isnt blind to the disadvantages, nor does he deny them. We asked him words he had for the naysayers who criticise blockchains lack of anonymity and other weaknesses.
I'd say that naysayers are right! he says. But that doesn't mean we can't accept this as a challenge to improve blockchain platforms so they better meet the needs of IoT.
For example, there has long been great interest in keeping parts of this distributed ledger limited to only the transacting parties. And while some of this work has focused specifically on the value transmission aspect, increasingly we're seeing research prove that we can do much better.
One of the best examples of this is Zero Cash, which aims to integrate zero-knowledge proofs into the blockchain, allowing for the details of a transaction to remain private between the two parties transacting and no one else.
Moving forwardAnd, of course, were in the very early days of blockchain application for online security, just as were in the early days for the IoT itself. Taylor has some advice for how we might be able to take things forward:
I don't think we're quite yet at the point of seeing blockchain create a more secure operating environment for IoT, however everything is being built at internet scale. That is, the protocols are being designed to exist in a fully open environment with the assumption that powerful adversaries may lurk around any corner to do something malicious.
Today, we too often hide behind the veil of security through obscurity. Asking engineers to run their code in the open is a great way to build the bridges to a more secure operating environment, but there is no single silver bullet.
My favorite part about Ethereum specifically is how open and welcoming the community is to developers and non-developers alike, Taylor concludes. This is evidenced by watching the continual growth amongst real-world meetups across the entire world.
Although computer clubs have existed for decades, since the advent of the internet, geeks have primarily flocked to online socialization as physical meet ups languished in obscurity. Today, theres a huge renewed interest in face-to-face meetups like computer clubs of yore and already, there are more than 75,000 people registered to over 400 meetups across six continents.
The coolest part? It feels like we're entering an age where the stigma of being a technologist is ending and instead it looks like blockchains may push developers to the forefront of geek chic.We've secured a generous 20% discount to attend IoT Security Summit in Boston for all IoT World News readers!

Savvy Savings Tips
If you're saving for a mortgage an extra €3,000 a year would probably go a long way to reaching your savings goal. If you focus on what you're spending and make a few adjustments it can really make a difference to your bank balance - Maurice McGee
Most of us don't think we have the time to compare all the companies that provide us with gas, fuel, TV, insurance, electricity, broadband and mobile phone services. But it's actually easy (and not very time-consuming) to do it all online with special websites that make comparing and switching easy.
And then all you have to do is be a bit more organised about your expenses. Then pour all the money you save (plus whatever else you can afford) into a regular savings account. In a year, you could be mortgage-ready!
Read on for a few tips to get you going.
Kill bills
Shopping around for the best gas and electricity prices can save you €321 a year, according to Bonkers.ie. And the same site reckons you can cut another €300 off your bills for broadband/TV deals.
Potential annual saving: €621.
Waste not
The average household literally chucks €700 in the bin every year.
That's the amount of food we throw out because it's left over or past its sell-by date. Four fifths of this is avoidable waste. So we can save €560 a year - and help the environment - by being a bit more careful in how we cook and shop.
Check out the Safefood.eu for lots of tips on how to cut your food bills.
Potential annual saving: €560
Car costs
Cut your petrol costs by smarter driving and shopping around for fuel. Even an average car would burn up around €2,000 a year over 30,000km.
But we can save 5c a litre just by shopping around for petrol, according to the National Consumer Agency. That would knock €127 a year off our bills.
We can easily save another 10% - or €200 - by smarter driving. That's how much simple driving-efficiency tips saves the average motorist, according to research by the Automobile Association.
It found that some canny drivers even managed to cut their fuel bills by up to a third - potentially saving over €600 every year.
The tips are can be found in full on the AA website.
Potential annual savings: €727
Insure savings
A 25-year-old driver could save €625 a year on motor insurance, a 2013 survey by the National Consumer Agency found. Make a note of when your insurance is up for renewal and start comparing prices online a month earlier. In some cases you can save money on your insurance if you included a name driver on your policy. Also make sure you are not over estimating the resale value of your car as this could drive costs up.

Dr. Harsh Vardhan has been under fire since the last week because of his opinion regarding spreading more awareness about fidelity than the use of condoms. This week he has expressed another of his views on his personal website regarding sex education. He said that the government must ban sex education from schools and make yoga compulsory. These views of his were published in the context of the Delhi elections 2013 when Harsh Vardhan was running as the BJP's chief minister candidate.
The multi-point document advocates a "strong emphasis on exposing students to India's cultural traditions". The website further adds that, "Musical training to be encouraged along with dance and drama. Kothari Commission (1967) recommendations on patriotism, health care, social consciousness and spirituality ("four pillars") will be made part and parcel of Delhi's school education system".
The spokesperson of Delhi BJP Sanjay Kaul, said, "The issue of banning sex education in schools has not been discussed on the party forum. We have no comment to offer". As for now, neither Harsh Vardhan nor the current government has called for a ban on sex education in schools. But, such views are reflective of the mindset of the ministers in Modi's cabinet.
When Harsh Vardhan was faced with widespread criticism of his remarks on condom, he said that he was wrongly represented. He said, "Any experienced NGO activist knows that condoms sometimes break while being used. That is why government campaigns in India, whether through the National Aids Control Organisation or the state governments, should focus on safe sex as a holistic concept which includes highlighting the role of fidelity to single partners." He also added, "Through misleading headlines, an impression is sought to be created that I have misgivings about the efficacy of condoms or that I have a moral problem with condoms. For the past two decades, I have been stressing the need for safe sex using a combination of condoms and discipline which is in line with the Abstinence-Be Faithful-Condom (ABC) line of UNAIDS that has yielded great success in Uganda and forms part of the anti-AIDS campaigns of several countries."
The Union Health Minister is currently unavailable for comments because he is in the US.

General surgery workloads and practice patterns in the united states, 2007 to 2009: A 10-year update from the American Board of Surgery
Valentine R.J.,University of Texas Southwestern Medical Center |
Jones A.,American Board of Surgery |
Biester T.W.,American Board of Surgery |
Cogbill T.H.,Gundersen Lutheran Medical Center |
And 2 more authors.
Annals of Surgery | Year: 2011
Objective: To assess changes in general surgery workloads and practice patterns in the past decade. Background: Nearly 80% of graduating general surgery residents pursue additional training in a surgical subspecialty. This has resulted in a shortage of general surgeons, especially in rural areas. The purpose of this study is to characterize the workloads and practice patterns of general surgeons versus certified surgical subspecialists and to compare these data with those from a previous decade. Methods: The surgical operative logs of 4968 individuals recertifying in surgery 2007 to 2009 were reviewed. Data from 3362 (68%) certified only in Surgery (GS) were compared with 1606 (32%) with additional American Board of Medical Specialties certificates (GS+). Data from GS surgeons were also compared with data from GS surgeons recertifying 1995 to 1997. Independent variables were compared using factorial ANOVA. Results: GS surgeons performed a mean of 533 ± 365 procedures annually. Women GS performed far more breast operations and fewer abdomen, alimentary tract and laparoscopic procedures compared to men GS (P < 0.001). GS surgeons recertifying at 10 years performed more abdominal, alimentary tract and laparoscopic procedures compared to those recertifying at 20 or 30 years (P < 0.001). Rural GS surgeons performed far more endoscopic procedures and fewer abdominal, alimentary tract, and laparoscopic procedures than urban counterparts (P < 0.001). The United States medical school graduates had similar workloads and distribution of operations to international medical graduates. Compared to 1995 to 1997, GS surgeons from 2007 to 2009 performed more procedures, especially endoscopic and laparoscopic. GS+ surgeons performed 15% to 33% of all general surgery procedures. Conclusions: GS practice patterns are heterogeneous; gender, age, and practice setting significantly affect operative caseloads. A substantial portion of general surgery procedures currently are performed by GS+ surgeons, whereas GS surgeons continue to perform considerable numbers of specialty operations. Reduced general surgery operative experience in GS+ residencies may negatively impact access to general surgical care. Similarly, narrowing GS residency operative experience may impair specialty operation access. © 2011 by Lippincott Williams & Wilkins. Source

OBJECTIVES: To determine if laparoscopic colectomy is safer and more effective than open colectomy in patients older than 80 years of age. METHODS: An operating room database of all colectomies performed on patients >or=80 years, from January 2002 to September 2007, was analyzed retrospectively. Data reviewed included type of operation, type of resection, length of procedure, length of stay (LOS), estimated blood loss, American Society of Anesthesiologists (ASA) grade, diagnosis, complications, mortality rates, and discharge destination, with p-values <0.05 considered significant. RESULTS: One hundred thirty-nine patients underwent open procedures (Open group) during the study period versus 150 patients who underwent laparoscopic procedures (Lap group). Of the Lap group, 15 patients were converted to open cases. Forty-four patients from the Open group were excluded from the analysis as they were treated emergently, leaving 95 patients in the Open group. The mortality for open procedures was significantly higher at 9/95 (9.4%), compared with 3/150 (2%) following laparoscopic procedures (p = 0.0132). LOS was significantly longer for open procedures (11.16 days) versus laparoscopic procedures (7.11 days), p = 0.0001. Open procedures were associated with an increased risk of postoperative ileus (p < 0.02). The Open group had a higher likelihood of discharge to a nursing facility (43/87) than the Lap group (33/147), p < 0.0001. There were no significant differences in the length of procedure, estimated blood loss and postoperative complications. CONCLUSIONS: Laparoscopic colectomy is a safer option that offers an improved outcome compared with open colectomy in elderly patients. Significant improvements in LOS, mortality rates, and discharge destination were observed. Copyright (c) 2010 Association of Program Directors in Surgery. Published by Elsevier Inc.

The Pennsylvania nurse | Year: 2013
As the primary contact in the health care system, nurses can play a role in combating this crime and assisting the victims. Assessment for abuse, neglect, trauma, recurrent sexually transmitted infections (STIs) and fear of a controlling partner is critical. Following up on "red flags" and understanding methods of safe questioning can make the difference between slavery and recovery for victims. Nurses must also know the professional referrals in their areas once a potential victim has been identified. This may be a very dangerous undertaking and must be handled by experienced personnel. Referrals to forensic nurses or physicians, domestic violence professionals or law enforcement may be indicated. Initially, a nurse may want to consult with the agency social worker for guidance. Human trafficking is a human rights crime. Unfortunately, it is more prevalent in all types of communities than most people suspect. Nurses can be heroes to the victims through understanding of this crime and vigilance in the assessment and care of all people they encounter in their practices.

By the nature of their career choice, surgeons are leaders at a variety of levels. The rise to leadership positions in surgery often requires scaling a steep pyramid. Many young surgeons are poorly prepared for what is frequently a competition with their peers. Some of the qualities young surgeons must possess to ascend the leadership pyramid are summarized by the "HOPES" of leadership: Honesty, recognition of Opportunity, having a Plan, knowing your Environment, and Self-assessment. © 2014 Elsevier Inc.All rights reserved.

This workshop will focus on strengthening and healing the foundation of our energy system - the root chakra. We will explore various ways in which we can connect into it through journaling, art, meditation, yoga, and play!
A healthy root chakra helps us to create a strong foundation in our lives as it allows for us to feel supported and safe. Finances, family relationships, food disorders, and addictions all have a relationship with this energy center. Understanding and reinforcing it allows us to create fundamental change in our lives.
This event includes a one hour yoga practice and a light lunch.
$45 after March 22
$250 entire 7 workshop series if paid in full. Taking the entire series is useful for you but not necessary. While the workshops will naturally build upon each other just as the chakra system does, they are each independently valuable as well.

Sacral: April 26
Solar Plexus: May 24
Heart: June 28
Throat: July 26

by Brooke Bobela, Greenheart Travel School to School Exchange Teacher in Spain
It was another interesting day in Segovia! The school we are visiting only has 700 students, is a private, catholic school and has all grades from 3 years old up to 17 years old! Today was a big day – they had a celebration of the 100 year anniversary of the "birth" of their school! The entire building was transformed into a fair- the older students set up rooms for the little ones to have their faces painted, they were making balloon animals, they had kareoke and fortune tellers, a haunted house and the best part was the assembly that they prepared. Since there are all ages, 3 different assemblies were prepared by the 11th and 12th graders. Los Americanos were included! (that's us…haha)
They asked us if we could do some sort of musical performance, typical of the U.S.A., for the assembly. As you can imagine, the pressure was on- but the group handled it beautifully! They decided on "Cotton Eye Joe" and had about 20 minutes in total to practice. As you can see from the video- it was AWESOME! They had to perform 3 times, for each age group and it turned out fantastic. The kids were all clapping and screaming with excitement- and Luke even donned a cowboy hat and painted a mustache on especially for the occasion. It was so much fun to be included in such a large and very important event at the school.
The evening ended with a Verbena (a dance) at the school for grades 7-12. Everyone got out on the dance floor and really enjoyed themselves- different, but great! I think that's what everyone is learning- differences are just that- different…we are really lucky to have this experience! Thanks to Pedro, once again, for organizing a fun filled day. We are off to Salamanca, Spain tomorrow!

Kali Mist by Serious Seeds is, with her 90% Sativa genes, one of the most attention-grabbing Sativa strains on the market at this moment plus a favorite of numerous professionals.
After receiving the Hydro Cup during the Cannabis Cup in 1995 she has been improved in the year 2000 and received the Seed Company Sativa Cup.
She evolves quite high with beautiful resin covered flowers and has a surprisingly significant yield. This yield can be so big simply because she doesn't grow so many leaves and then the sun's rays can reach the nugs on the lower part of the plant and because she is quite mold tolerant.
Kali Mist by Serious Seeds has earned its prominent place in the hierarchy of Cannabis seeds and is even preferred by many women that have claimed that Kali Mist is the ultimate smoke to fight menstrual pains.
Kali Mist is a very pleasurable smoke with a extensive energizing high.
Cannabis Cup:
Kali Mist from Serious won the first prize at the Cannabis Cup in 1995 (hydro) and again a 1st prize at the Cannabis Cup in 2000 for 'Best Sativa'.

Toddler Bib
My favorite item is one of the first I created for my own children, the toddler bib. Meal times had become so messy because my 8 month old wouldn't keep a bib on, or when she did, the bib was too small to catch her mess. I created a bib that covers a toddler from waist to neck and shoulder to shoulder and now even has a snap up pocket on the front. To conquer the issue of pulling off the bib, I fastened it with a snap at the neck. No Velcro® to itch their neck, get stuck to everything else in the washer and then after a few washings lose its stickiness anyway! The most recent addition to the toddler bib is snaps to create a pocket on the front of the bib. If you prefer allowing the bib to hang on the child's lap, then you don't need to use them, otherwise, they create a pouch to catch the "run-away" pieces of food. The snaps also allow for thorough cleaning at the waste basket and again in the wash.
My 8 yr old still wears the bibs when we are having a really messy meal (shhh, don't tell her I said it or whe will never wear one again). I love that I can use fabrics to reflect each child's taste and interests; it makes it easier to convince them to wear a bib!

This week is your first chance to take advantage of the free flu vaccine which will hit doctor's offices, local public health units and community immunization clinics.
Those wishing to be pro active and better protect themselves against the flu virus and stay healthy can take advantage of the approximately 2,600 pharmacies across the province as an alternate option, providing they are five years of age and older.
The flu can be serious as the respiratory infection that can lead to hospitalization and even death.
"Anyone can get the flu. So we're reminding Ontarians to get the flu shot as soon as it's available." said Ontario's Minister of Health and Long-Term Care Dr. Eric Hoskins. "Especially those at a high risk of serious complications from the flu, such as young children, pregnant women and seniors. Getting the flu shot is free, easy and the best way to protect yourself and your loved ones."
#Flu shot season is here. Health Minister encouraging Ontarians to get vaccination. @StevensGlobal pic.twitter.com/ONDZrRGbsg
— Christina Stevens (@StevensGlobal) October 24, 2016
Children under five, pregnant women and seniors are especially at risk of getting seriously ill from the flu. The vaccine is very safe and helps to protect against the most common strains of the virus.
The immunizations are a part of the government's 'Patients First: Action Plan for Health Care', which provides patients with faster access to care at home and in the community.
In 2015-16, approximately 2,500 participating pharmacies administered more than 869,000 doses of publicly funded influenza vaccine.
The flu vaccine is offered free of charge to anyone over the age of six months who either lives, works, or goes to school in Ontario.

Restoration Ecology | Year: 2015
Degradation of ecosystems is ongoing in Latin America but there is also a strong upswing in conservation and restoration efforts. SIACRE - the Ibero-American and Caribbean Society for Ecological Restoration - is playing a key role in coordinating and promoting this trend at international, national, and subnational levels. In October 2014, SIACRE members organized the first national seminar on ecological restoration in Chile, with participants representing both academic and non-academic sectors. This seminar served as the catalyst for this essay and was an historic event at the national level. Much work has been underway in the science and practice of restoration in Chile, but until now it has been fragmented. This first national seminar enabled helped the principal strengths and challenges that Chile has and must face in the transdisciplinary domain of ecological restoration. Since 2004, various meetings have been organized in the region, in order to communicate the importance of restoration, especially in Mexico, Cuba, Colombia, Brazil, and more recently in Chile and Argentina. Here we trace the history of national and subnational restoration networks in Latin America and the Caribbean, and of SIACRE, and then outline some goals and challenges for the coming years. © 2015 Society for Ecological Restoration.

Frontiers in Plant Science | Year: 2014
While there is a large consensus that plant-plant interactions are a crucial component of the response of plant communities to the effects of climate change, available data remain scarce, particularly in alpine systems. This represents an important obstacle to making consistent predictions about the future of plant communities. Here, we review current knowledge on the effects of climate change on facilitation among alpine plant communities and propose directions for future research. In established alpine communities, while warming seemingly generates a net facilitation release, earlier snowmelt may increase facilitation. Some nurse plants are able to buffer microenvironmental changes in the long term and may ensure the persistence of other alpine plants through local migration events. For communities migrating to higher elevations, facilitation should play an important role in their reorganization because of the harsher environmental conditions. In particular, the absence of efficient nurse plants might slow down upward migration, possibly generating chains of extinction. Facilitation-climate change relationships are expected to shift along latitudinal gradients because (1) the magnitude of warming is predicted to vary along these gradients, and (2) alpine environments are significantly different at low vs. high latitudes. Data on these expected patterns are preliminary and thus need to be tested with further studies on facilitation among plants in alpine environments that have thus far not been considered. From a methodological standpoint, future studies will benefit from the spatial representation of the microclimatic environment of plants to predict their response to climate change. Moreover, the acquisition of long-term data on the dynamics of plant-plant interactions, either through permanent plots or chronosequences of glacial recession, may represent powerful approaches to clarify the relationship between plant interactions and climate change. © 2014 Anthelme, Cavieres and Dangles.

Spatial Structure Facilitates Cooperation in a Social Dilemma: Empirical Evidence from a Bacterial Community

Cooperative organisms are ubiquitous in nature, despite their vulnerability to exploitation by cheaters. Although numerous theoretical studies suggest that spatial structure is critical for cooperation to persist, the spatial ecology of microbial cooperation remains largely unexplored experimentally. By tracking the community dynamics of cooperating (rpoS wild-type) and cheating (rpoS mutant) Escherichia coli in well-mixed flasks and microfabricated habitats, we demonstrate that spatial structure stabilizes coexistence between wild-type and mutant and thus facilitates cooperator maintenance. We develop a method to interpret our experimental results in the context of game theory, and show that the game wild-type and mutant bacteria play in an unstructured environment changes markedly over time, and eventually obeys a prisoner's dilemma leading to cheater dominance. In contrast, when wild-type and mutant E. coli co-inhabit a spatially-structured habitat, cooperators and cheaters coexist at intermediate frequencies. Our findings show that even in microhabitats lacking patchiness or spatial heterogeneities in resource availability, surface growth allows cells to form multi-cellular aggregates, yielding a self-structured community in which cooperators persist. © 2013 Hol et al.

Biological Invasions | Year: 2010
There is a strong bias concerning the regions of the globe where research on biological invasions is conducted, with notably lower representation of developing countries. However, in developing countries, effective management strategies to control invasions could be more beneficial in conserving global biodiversity since these countries tend to have larger, highly diverse natural habitats. Lower levels of development are seen as an obstacle to tackling biological invasions, but little thought is given to the advantages of developing countries in dealing with invasive species. We analyzed differences between developed and developing countries regarding the problem of invasive species and their historical and current patterns of international trade, disturbance levels and land use, research and monitoring, control and mitigation, and social awareness. Developed nations have some advantages, especially in levels of social awareness and means for controlling and studying exotics, but developing nations also enjoy important advantages given their lower levels of international trade and the availability of low-cost labor. Also, there is evidence that the process of economic development, which results in more efficient ways to transform landscapes and increases international trade, is strongly associated with increasing rates of biological invasion. Differences in data quality and availability between developed and developing countries make comparative analyses of biological invasions a difficult task. Thus, these differences creates a challenge in forming global strategies to deal with invasions. There have been calls for creating international plans to deal with invasive species, but we believe that it is important first to acknowledge the challenges and understand both the advantages and disadvantages of developing countries. © 2009 Springer Science+Business Media B.V.

A sulfated galactan with antioxidant capacity from the green variant of tetrasporic Gigartina skottsbergii (Gigartinales, Rhodophyta)

Carbohydrate Research | Year: 2012
The water soluble polysaccharide produced by the green variant of tetrasporic Gigartina skottsbergii was found to be composed of d-galactose and sulfate groups in a molar ratio of 1.0:0.65. 1H and 13C NMR spectroscopy studies of the desulfated polysaccharide showed a major backbone structure of alternating 3-linked β-d-galactopyranosyl and 4-linked α-d-galactopyranosyl units, and minor signals ascribed to 3-O-methyl-substitution on the latter unit. Ethylation analysis of the polysaccharide indicated that the sulfate groups are mainly located at position O-2 of 4-linked α-d-galactopyranosyl residue and partially located at positions O-6 of the same unit and at position O-2 of 3-linked β-d-galactopyranosyl residue, and confirmed the presence of 3-O-methyl-galactose in minor amounts (4.4%). The sulfated d-galactan presents a similar structure to λ carrageenan but with much lower sulfation at position O-6 of the α-residue and at position O-2 of β-residue. The antioxidant capacity of the sulfated d-galactan was evaluated by the peroxyl radicals (ORAC method), hydroxyl radicals, chelating activity, and ABTS + assays. Kinetic results obtained in these assays were compared with those obtained for the commercial λ carrageenan. The antioxidant activity toward peroxyl radicals was higher for commercial λ carrageenan, this agrees with its higher content of sulfate group. The kinetics of the reaction of both polysaccharides with hydroxyl and ABTS + radicals showed a complex mechanism, but the antioxidant activity was higher for the polysaccharide from the green variant of tetrasporic Gigartina skottsbergii. © 2011 Elsevier Ltd.

An idea for an update to the existing Apple Store app icon, which is a little bit outdated in my opinion.
It is the center of the famous glass staircase that you can find in the larger Apple Stores. It is surrounded by the steps. This is what you would see when you would watch down from the top, although I made the stair 'infinite' since and ending or beginning would distract from the Apple logo.

Rice Salad- Recipe
What wine with that?
What wine to serve with your salad? There are two factors at work here; one what are the ingredients of your salad and two, what dressing are you using?
Vinegar and wine are not friends so if you salad requires a vinaigrette dressing then hold the wine until later. However, if the dressing is not a vinaigrette then there are some possibilities.
Now if salad is the main course does this mean that you cannot serve wine? No. Consider creating a salad that has chicken, cheese or seafood as a main ingredient you then open up your wine options.
You can also select a dressing than is not as acidic as vinegar and eliminate the competition that exists between the meal and the wine. For example, chardonnay may compliment a Caesar salad or a Roquefort dressing.
A salad is so much more than some green in a bowl and can easily become a meal all by itself. There is little that cannot be added to your salad and it all depends upon what you like.
Roast beef, chicken and seafood are standards. Apples, grapes and tangerines add zest. Pasta and rice make great salads.
Rice salad recipe:
1 cup rice (cooked)
½ cup chopped green onions
¼ cup chopped fresh parsley
1 cup halved cherry tomatoes
1 yellow pepper sliced thin.
Sea salt and black pepper to taste.
Olive oil
Lemon juice.
Put all ingredients except oil and lemon juice into a bowl, mix well.
Drizzle with olive oil and lemon juice, salt and pepper to taste mix and enjoy.
This makes an ideal side dish with cold chicken or can be a meal all by itself. I often make extra rice when I am cooking it so that I can set some aside for a salad or a stir fry dish later in the week.
Cooking a little extra when you are already doing the work makes it easier to prepare a healthy and tasty meal on those evenings when you just do not have enough time to prepare supper from scratch. It will save you both time and
