By the evening, the weather had truly taken a turn for the worse. AS we were driving to see the Haruru Falls near our accommodation, it started truly hammering it down with rain. We saw a number of people in tents, I can't tell you at that point how relieved I was I wasn't one of them. I have been that person and I can tell you right ...

Memorial Held For Hit-and-Run Victim
Friends said they feel lucky to have known her
SANTA BARBARA, Calif. - Yellow balloons, roses and ribbons stood out at the memorial for Mallory Rae Dies.
Dies, 27, was fatally injured by a suspected drunk driver in a hit-and-run accident Dec. 6.
Five days later, she was taken off life support. Her organs were donated to save other lives.
Dies' boyfriend Landon Wurst said the family received a warm thank you letter from a 27-year-old father of two who received her liver.
Wurst said it helps to hear things like that.
He said Mallory would have loved the memorial overlooking the ocean.
He said she had compassion for humanity and could bring a smile to anyone she came into contact with.
Mallory's father said she got her fearlessness from her two brothers. He said the friends she made in Santa Barbara were like extended family.
A former roommate said when a bartender gets killed by someone who has had too much to drink, it sends a message not to drink and drive. He asked people in the crowd to raise their hands if they knew someone who did and he asked them to tell them or text them and tell them not to do it again.
The only suspect in the case is an Iraq War vet and ex-congressional aide with two prior DUI convictions in Ventura County.
Raymond Morua, 32, will face a second-degree murder charge when he appears in court Wednesday.

Hico, WV – Honda's cars are one of the most preferred vehicles in the present era. Buyers can seek online assistance to acquire details about the 2013 Honda Civic invoice prices. HondaReview.com is the best source which offers buyers the catalog of resources for receiving quotes from reputable businesses. The website however, is not a Honda car dealer, nor is it associated with a dealership or a manufacturer. It has been created to help car shoppers find useful buying information such as the prices and rebates.
Honda is a dedicated manufacturer of vehicles and its sales have only soared through the years. They have spent a lot of time and money in exploring advanced technologies to make their cars safer. In addition, even their research and development programs have been strengthened for generating technologies that would reduce vehicle related accidents. Hence, investing in this brand seems feasible for many consumers. However, with multiple dealers selling Honda vehicles available in the market, it becomes important to find a resource that gives them good value for investment.
HondaReview.com is the only website on the internet that breaks down the Civic price to dealer cost, which is lower than the published dealer invoice prices. By getting detailed information on the 2013 Honda Civic dealer cost, consumers can gain an advantage while making negotiation with the respective dealer. This way, the consumers will know what the dealer paid for the car and accordingly they can negotiate from the lowest cost.
Consumers considering investing in the 2013 Honda Civic must know that the invoice price has hidden profit included and it is not the true dealer cost. Hence, it becomes vital to determine the cost that the dealer actually paid for purchasing the car, which in turn helps them negotiate the cost. The negotiated deal can be closer to the cost and that may result in better savings. Most individuals negotiate from the MSRP down, which results in them spending more than the actual rate.
Shopping for a car requires individuals to understand all components of the deal. Obtaining insight on aspects like the invoice price, dealer invoice, rebates, etc. is essential. Following the guidelines mentioned on this website will help buyers to accurately calculate the 2013 Honda Civic prices. Car dealers and advertisements have their own language when it comes to selling cars in the market. In-depth details on them can be found by logging on to http://www.hondareview.com/2013-honda-civic-invoice-prices/.
Wade Murdock is author of this article on 2013 Honda Civic Invoice Prices.

(Received 20 November 2003; accepted in final form 26 March 2004)
Ferromagnetic interlayer coupling through a semiconducting spacer has been studied in epitaxial layered structures . The coupling strength has been determined as a function of temperature and interlayer thickness using magneto-optical Kerr effect magnetometry. A strong rise of the coupling strength with increasing temperature has been observed in the temperature range, where is paramagnetic. The observations match the theoretical description of interlayer exchange coupling between two metallic layers mediated by the electronic states in a semiconductor. Near the Curie temperature of , long-range ferromagnetic coupling is observed, that is related to ferromagnetic order inside the layer.

A club crossover classic from The Rolling Stones – a track that surprisingly got the group onto the dancefloor in the late 70s, but which still held onto most of their best elements! Although sometimes panned as a cheap disco cash-in effort by some, the tune is actually pretty darn great – a gritty little tune that relies on heavy vamping, rolled-out guitar parts, and one of the catchiest vocal hooks that Mick Jagger had sung in years. Harmonica completes the sound, and the whole thing's got a bluesy undercurrent that's totally great! (In the printed Stones sleeve.) © 1996-2017, Dusty Groove, Inc.
We realize that there are many different interpretations of the standard grades used for pre-owned vinyl record albums & CD, so we thought we'd offer you the ones that we are working with, so you have an idea what we mean when we give the grade for a non-new item on our pages.
Below are stated conditions for a used vinyl records at Dusty Groove. Grading for the cover should be assumed to be near (within a "+" or "-") the grading for the vinyl. If there is significant divergence from the condition of the vinyl, or specific flaws, these will be noted in the comments section of the item. However, please be aware that since the emphasis of this site is towards the music listener, our main concern is with the vinyl of any used item we sell. Additionally, please note that all of our records are graded visually; considering the volume of used vinyl we handle, it is impossible for us to listen to each record. If we spot any significant flaws, we make every attempt to listen through them and note how they play.
The following grading conditions apply to the vinyl component of an album or single:
If something is noteworthy, we try to note it in the comments — especially if it is an oddity that is the only wrong thing about the record. This might include, but isn't limited to, warped records, tracks that skip, cover damage or wear as noted above, or strictly cosmetic flaws.

Dermal fillers are substances that are injected under the skin to help fill in wrinkles, lines, acne scars and other depressions in the skin, as well as add volume to cheeks, lips and other areas that have lost natural volume due to aging. In addition to providing immediate results by adding volume, today's dermal fillers provide long-term results by stimulating the production of natural collagen to help skin look and feel firmer and more resilient over time. Many fillers also contain hyaluronic acid, a substance that occurs naturally in skin and helps it retain moisture for a firmer, plumper appearance.
First, the treatment areas will be carefully evaluated to determine the best locations for filler administration. Areas will be determined during your consultation visit, and will be based on your own personal objectives as well as the doctor's experience in filler application. Once the treatment sites have been determined, the injection sites will be cleansed and the filler material will be injected into the area, sometimes using multiple injections sites to ensure the material is evenly distributed. In some cases, a topical anesthetic may be used to reduce discomfort. Once the treatment is complete, you may have some mild swelling or redness at the injection sites, but these effects will quickly resolve.
You will notice results as soon as any swelling resolves, and you can expect your results to last for six months or longer, depending on the type of filler used and where it is injected. Routine touch-up treatments can help your results last even longer.
Yes, many patients opt to have both dermal fillers and Botox® to treat multiple areas of the face for an all-over rejuvenated appearance without the need for cosmetic surgery.

A new arrival at Briarcliff Manor claims to be Anne Frank. She stabbed a man who made an anti-Semitic remark. When she sees Dr. Adler, she accuses him of being a doctor who worked at Auschwitz. Sister Jude is at first dismissive but soon begins to believe her. Adler gets help from a most unexpected source. Meanwhile, Kit tells Grace what Dr. Adler has been doing to him and she in turn tells him why she is in the hospital. She was accused of butchering her father and her stepmother after her stepsister accused her of the crime. Lana tells Dr. Thredson about their attempted escape and he offers to help her. She agrees to aversion therapy. Thredson also tells Kit that he sees no useful purpose in having him executed and is prepared to lie for him - provided he's prepared to face the truth.

SEO has grown up. This year saw the graduation of SEO from its version 1.0 focus on the "meta things" like optimized tags, site structure, and links (internal and external) to something much bigger and more influential. Some of this growth has been spurred by the search engines and their evolution to include new elements of influence like social signals to provide a better and more relevant user experience. Other growth in this field has been spurred by humans and our need for mobility with the ability to access content of all types while on-the-go, whenever and wherever we are.
When we look at North Asia, zooming in on Japan and Korea, I believe SEO in 2012 will be focused on three core trends and developments: 1) the influence of social and how this affects our search experience, 2) the development of mobile and its impact on SEO, and 3) the growth of local and the behavioral shift of how people are searching.
Social Influencing SEO
Taking the top five social media properties in Japan, the usage growth this year in these platforms has been an astounding 30 percent according to comScore. And in Korea it's grown by 10 percent. Facebook alone in Japan has seen 150 percent growth since January. Yahoo Chiebukuro, Japan's version of Yahoo Q&A currently has the highest global reach of all Yahoo Q&A markets with a 40 percent reach in Japan. And in Korea, Naver's KnowledgeIn network is currently the second most popular feature on the portal and features right below the top listings on the search results page because of its prominence as a social platform. Google isn't dominating in Korea (29 percent), but in Japan occupies a 58 percent share and growing. So the introduction of Google+ certainly had an impact on that market.
Advertisers who pay attention to the social developments in these markets and make concerted steps to integrate these social signals into their SEO program, site structure, and general marketing plan will do well next year.
Redefining With Mobile
The continuing rise and adoption of smartphone usage in both Japan and Korea will lead to an ever increased focus on mobile SEO. Currently the smartphone audience in Japan makes up around 14 million people or 11 percent of the population. In Korea this number is slightly higher at 20 million subscribers (40 percent of the population). The mobile app market is exploding in both markets, with "application usage" being the second most popular activity on mobile after search. In Japan, 2011 saw more mobile-focused startups open business than any other year ever. In Korea, smartphone users report an average of 42 apps downloaded on their phone, according to Google. This is the second highest number of any country they have results for.
2012 will see even more explosive growth in mobile, particularly in Japan as the subscriber base is smaller there. We will start to see the ramp up in development of both smartphone friendly and smartphone dedicated sites, particularly on the corporate side as they start to realize the power of a dedicated mobile site. As more mobile content gets produced there will be a need to optimize these pages for SEO. Especially in markets like Japan and Korea where the percentage of searches on mobile is higher than PC. Also, revenues from mobile commerce will increasingly take center stage, and with it, SEO will be recognized as a key figure, if not the key figure in achieving ROI.
Behavioral Shift to Local
The third key trend in SEO will be the increased focus on optimizing for local search. Today in the U.S., just about 40 percent of all queries have a local intent, meaning searches now include any combination of city, state, neighborhood, Zip code, or other "local qualifiers" in their query. In Japan, search queries on Google Places this year has more than doubled as people have increased their on-the-go search. With Naver in Korea, the search query volume of Naver Map, the premier map and local search platform has also doubled in the past 12 months, coinciding with the surge in mobile usage in that market.
Already local search results show users a different search results page depending upon their IP address location. With mobile phones it's much easier for Google to know the exact location of the user and serve her very targeted local search results. This will be a huge opportunity next year for local businesses of all shapes and sizes to optimize their content for SEO and pull in this potential local audience.
SEO has grown up. It started this year, and will continue in 2012 to be much more influenced by the social, mobile, and local movements. Companies that successfully address, understand, and act on these movements will have a head start next year in the race for SEO excellence in Asia.

Go Mad for Mod Men
The Rebelle by Tootsies salon is sending a love letter to our women clients tonight by hosting a mens fashion and hair show. The fashions are from Boss Vintage and Fancy Tiger, and theyll be hanging on models hand-picked by house barber Jordan Weinstein, who promises, My standards are pretty high in terms of male aesthetics. In other words, these guys are hot. Mod Men will also allow Weinstein, who arrived from L.A. six months ago, to showcase his talents, which include hot shaves and other traditional barber services. The concept for the show, which looks at 1960s mens fashion comes from Weinsteins desire to put old-school mens grooming in a contemporary context.
A bit of burlesque featuring instructors from Tease Studio will follow the fashion show, so theres eye candy for everyone. Doors at Rebelle, 3921 Tennyson Street, open at 7 p.m.; Hotmixology.com will be slinging cocktails to round out the early-60s Mad Men theme.

Asian Dub Foundation are an English electronica band that plays a mix of rapcore, dub, dancehall and ragga, also using rock instruments, acknowledging a punk influence. Their distinctive sound also combines indo-dub basslines, searing sitar-inspired guitars and traditional sounds, shot through with fast-chat conscious lyrics.
Asian Dub Foundation is a group that arose from a community education organisation. The different forms of music include toasting, dub, funky guitars and many other African instrumentals.[1] "Their distinctive sound is a combination of hard ragga-jungle rhythms, indo-dub basslines, searing sitar-inspired guitars and 'traditional' sounds gleaned from their parents' record collections, shot through with fast-chat conscious lyrics".[2] The band was formed in summer 1993 as an education workshop run by Aniruddha Das aka Dr Das (bass, programming) assisted by Pandit G(Decks) and attended by Deeder Zaman. This early line-up released the sound-system based Conscious E.P. in late 1993 on Nation Records. Guitarist /programmer Steve Chandra Savale was invited to join in early 1994 and ADF became edged towards more of a band format.NME.[3] Sanjay Tailor, also known as Sun-J, joined the band as live midi/programmer and DJ soon after. This completed the full live line-up of the band and their debut album Facts and Fictions was released in late 1995 having won widespread acclaim for the 1995 single "Rebel Warrior" .Initially shunned in the UK which was submerged in the Britpop movement the band honed their skills in Europe and gained a substantial following particularly in France where their (French-only) release RAFI sold 100,000 copies. In early 1997 the band was signed by London records and their British profile was upped considerably by the support of Primal Scream with whom the band began to tour regularly. Their second album Rafi's Revenge (1998) was nominated for a Mercury Prize combining a unique combination of punk energy with a jungle/reggae core. The single "Naxalite" was an ode to the militant Naxalite movement in India. Tours to the United States, with the Beastie Boys, and Japan followed to wide acclaim. Their following album, Community Music, developed their sound further and received a coveted 10/10 review in NME.[3] Also in 2000, ADF played a choice slot on Glastonbury's Pyramid stage to a rapturous reception. At the end of 2000, Deeder Zaman announced his plans to go solo, his last gig being at Alexandra Palace alongside Primal Scream and Ian Brown. Their first project of 2001 was an ambitious attempt to create a live rescore of Mathieu Kassovitz's classic film La Haine at the Barbican's "Only Connect" festival in London (also featuring Ennio Morricone and Ornette Coleman). The gig was a sellout and received much critical praise, particularly from Max Bell and Steven Wells. They did the piece again by invitation of David Bowie at his South Bank Meltdown festival in 2002. In attendance was Kassovitz himself, who was seen jumping, shouting and applauding wildly, proceeding to congratulate the band after the show. In 2001 ADF then went to Brazil to collaborate with community activist giants Afro-reggae with new additions MC Aktarv8tr, Rocky Singh (drums), Spex MC, and Prithpal Rajput on Dhol. In 2002, Pandit G was awarded the MBE for "services to the music industry" in relation to his work with Community Music. He declined the award, however, stating:[4]
|I personally don't think it's appropriate. I've never supported the honours system. If you want to acknowledge projects like CM, the work that these organisations do, then fund them. There's no point in giving an individual an accolade to bring people into the establishment; [it] won't actually help the organisations!
"If you want to acknowledge the work of these organisations, prioritise funding so they can grow and expand and do the work that they do (in) creating new music, giving people the opportunities to make music, develop new musicians and create pathways where they can go out and establish themselves in the music industry.
In 2003, they released Enemy of the Enemy, which became their best-selling album and contained the track "Fortress Europe", a stinging attack on European immigration policy, along with "1000 Mirrors", a collaboration with Sinéad O'Connor about a woman serving life for killing an abusive husband. In 2003, they played their biggest gig in front of 100,000 people at Larzac in France at a celebration of José Bové, a radical campaigning farmer. For 2005's Tank, they were joined by On-U Sound collaborator Ghetto Priest on vocals with the Help of Adrian Sherwood .
The band continued performing "La Haine" around the world for the next five years. They developed this approach in 2004 with the film The Battle of Algiers, first performing the piece at the Brighton Dome on the same day that photographs of torture in Abu Ghraib were released.[citation needed]
In 2005, they won "Best Underground" at the UK Asian Music Awards.[5]
Bassist Dr Das announced his intention to retire in May 2006 to resume teaching and produce his own music. He was replaced by Martin Savale, a.k.a. Babu Stormz, who also plays bass with British-Asian electro/grunge/hip-hop band Swami.
In September 2006, the dub/punk opera "Gaddafi: A Living Myth", with music by Asian Dub Foundation, opened at the London Coliseum. In Spring 2007, Asian Dub Foundation announced the release of a best of compilation '1995-2007 which included a bonus disc of rare remixes and live tracks, featuring Chuck D, the lead rapper of American hip-hop group, Public Enemy. The album also featured a new track recorded with former vocalist Deeder Zaman. In May 2007 Asian Dub Foundation performed a radio session and interview on the Bobby and Nihal show on BBC Radio 1 where they performed three new tracks: "Climb On", "Superpower" and "S.O.C.A.". In June 2007, they were the only Western act to perform at the Festival of Gnawa music in Essaouira, Morocco playing to a crowd of 60,000 people and collaborating with traditional Gnawa musicians.[citation needed]
In August 2007, Asian Dub Foundation started playing with two new vocalists, Al Rumjen (previously and subsequently with King Prawn) and Aktarv8r, who returned after MC Spex was asked to leave the band due to he's personal issues affecting the band.[citation needed] In November and December 2007, Asian Dub Foundation recorded a new album, Punkara, with The Go! Team producer, Gareth Parton, on one of the tunes. It was released in March 2008 and followed by an extensive tour of Europe and Japan.
In 2009, Asian Dub Foundation contributed to the Indigenous Resistance project after having met up with the Atenco resistance movement in Mexico. Asian Dub Foundation started work on their new album, provisionally entitled "A New London Eye", which would feature Ministry of Dhol, Nathan "Flutebox" Lee, Chi 2 and Skrein. The album eventually came out as "The History of Now" and the band toured extensively to promote it. The cover contained many fantasy iPhone "Apps" intended to parody the contemporary age.
In May 2012 the band was asked by immersive pop-up subversives Secret Cinema to revive their live soundtrack to La Haine at Broadwater Farm, scene of riots in 1985, and also performed the piece in Paris the night of the French elections. Later that year ADF were rejoined by Dr. Das, Ghetto Priest and Rocky Singh. They recorded a Japan-only album, The Signal and the Noise, and headlined a series of festivals including "Bearded Theory" and "Asigiri Jam" in Japan.
In 2014 the band debuted their latest live soundtrack to THX 1138, George Lucas's first feature-length film. George Lucas and his legendary collaborator Walter Murch gave his personal blessing to the project and it was performed at the Brooklyn Festival in Prospect Park which led to an Arts Council Sponsored Tour of the UK in 2015. ADF signed a label deal with Believe records in 2015 and released More Signal More Noise on their own ADF Communications imprint, enhanced version of the 2013 Japanese release. They were joined in early 2015 by ex-Prodigy drummer Brian Fairbairn and have since toured Italy with a revived version of La Haine, an Arts Council sponsored tour of THX 1138, recorded a BBC Radio 6 session for Tom Robinson and played headline slots at WOMAD and Boomtown festivals in 2016.

University Hospital of Heraklion, Crete, Greece
Interstitial pulmonary fibrosis (IPF) is a devastating disease for which current therapy is minimally effective. Colchicine, an inhibitor of collagen synthesis and secretion, promotes collagenolytic activity, and suppresses the release of some fibroplast growth factors by alveolar macrophages. Interferon gamma 1-b (IFN-γ), an attractive therapeutic candidate, it regulates both macrophages and fibroplast functions. Transforming growth factor β1 (TGF-β1) antagonizes all antifibrotic actions of IFN-γ and connective-tissue growth factor (CTGF) is the major mediator of TGF-β1. The level of transcription of IFN-γ, TGF-β1 and CTGF genes before and after treatment with IFN-gamma-1b or Colchicine in patients with IPF was evaluated.
Two groups of patients were studied. The first 6 patients was treated with IFN-gamma-1b, while the second with Colchicine, 4 patients. Open lung and transbronchial biopsy specimens were obtained before treatment and after 6 and 18 months of therapy. Total RNA was extracted from all patients at all three time points (0,6,18 months) using reverse-transcription polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) assay we compared the transcription levels of TGF-β1, CTGF, and IFN-γ genes in both groups of patients.
Before treatment, all patients exhibited marked mRNA_expression of TGF-β1 and CTGF, but no transcription of IFN-γ. After treatment all patients presented decreased TGFβ1 mRNA expression. In the IFN-γ group three patients (50%) showed transcription of IFN-γ gene at 6 (1 patient) and at 18 months (2 patients) after treatment. Two patients (50%)in the Colchicine group presented expression of IFN-γ mRNA. The expression of CTGF gene remained almost stable (non noticeable differences) before and after treatment in both groups. ELISA analysis of bronchoalveolar lavage fluid (BALF) for these molecules is underway.
Both treatments give evidence of inhibiting mRNA expression of TGF-β1 and enhancing of IFN-γ transcription.
IFN-gamma (IFN-γ), whose production is impaired in IPF, could be a promising novel treatment in patients with IPF.

Coral Princess arrived in LA today with 71 out of the 1,958 passengers aboard experiencing norovirus symptoms of vomiting and diarrhea.
The CDC (Centers for Disease Control and Prevention) reported that the noro-infected travelers comprised 3.63% of the total number of passengers on the Princess Cruises' ship. 6 crew members (out of 881) were also infected.
The CDC determined the gastrointestinal outbreak was norovirus but was unable to conclude where it came from: shipsick galley worker, contaminated cruise ship water or food, or brought aboard by sick guests and then spread because of poor cleaning procedures or inadequate hygiene.
Time magazine titled last year "The 13 Worst Norovirus Outbreaks on Cruise Ships" and the overall winner of top 13 list was Princess Cruises whith 5 outbreaks on its brand: Coral Princess (Feb 2009, 271 ill); Crown Princess (Jan 2010, 396 ill); Crown Princess (Feb 2012, 363 ill); Sun Princess (Jul 2012, 216 ill) and Ruby Princess (Mar 2013, 276 ill).
Coral Princess has been one of Princess Cruises' vessels most likely to be infected. Princess and Holland America historically have the sickest ships in cruise industry.

The story of the only Irishman to coach Manchester United, and his power struggle with father figure of the club - Sir Matt Busby. Frank O'Farrell played for West Ham United and Preston North End as well as earning nine international caps, and in 1971 he agreed to take on the job at Manchester, a role he kept for 18 months before being sacked. With contributions by David Meek, Peter Shilton, Wilf McGuinness and Eamon Dunphy.
Just watching it now and Busby isn't coming out of it too well, it has to be said. Attempting to get O'Farrell for a salary of £12,000 per year when he knew full well that £15,000 was what the club was offering, for starters.
But on the whole, is the revelation that Matt Busby wasn't a saint or a perfect human being significant at all? Is it not something that most people would have suspected anyway?
Jesus, Paddy Crerand won't have a bad word said about Busby, will he? That's twice now that he's responded negatively ("... and if anyone says otherwise, they're lying") to suggestions that Busby still had a hold over some of United's senior players during Farrell's reign.
Did the programme discuss Frank O' Farrell's Catholicism? It's impossible to understand the man without knowing how his religious faith worked within him.

Ever taken a photo with your mobile phone in the heat of a moment (because it was the easiest thing to get your hands onto) and realized…. that the photo actually looks okay, but with a bit of editing you can imagine it looking a million times better? I have. I do…everyday. And I will keep doing that until the memory on my Velocity 4G runs out. Even then, I will transfer them to my computer or get more removable memory (SD card), because if you're like me, once you're a mobile photographer – everything looks better on your palm sized mobile screen and you… just. can't. stop. won't. stop.
Lets rewind a bit. I mentioned a bit of editing. This may sound hard to you, but trust me it's not.. and I really mean it, it takes a-b-i-t of editing, not a lot. I'm going to give you a quick 10-seconds to check out this link right now instagr.am. Welcome back. So you see, this app lets you snap pictures, choose a filter and then share it. Best part about it is that it's made for mobiles. So whether you're in the 80% of the population (Survey not reflective of the population and is purely based on my train-ride into the city everyday 😉 ) or have an Android like me – you, your mum, even younger siblings can take fantastic photos.
With 17 alternative filters to choose from, you can opt to make your photo look like a high-contrast vibrant photo, a classic Polaroid, a photo from the early 1900's pr heaps of other unique styles and effects.. all at a touch of a button. Don't forget the auto-brightness/contrast button too, which truly fine-tunes photos at the press of a button to highlight the subjects in the photo. Secondly, like me, you too can connect instagram to your social media accounts. Twitter, Facebook, Foursquare or even Tumblr, as soon as you take an instagram photo, you can set it up so that it will automatically upload to your social media accounts.
See, I recently just got back from a 5-week holiday to the United States of America, and instead of writing status updates telling people what I did, and, all I did was take instagram photos and uploaded them with keywords and #tags and just told my "fans" to check them out. This means my trip was made available for all to see in a series of some really beautiful photos. You will see below my favorite photo from my 37-days abroad. This has to be one of the most magical moments in my life for me. I was at the top of the Empire State Building in New York City, standing there with this gorgeous girl I just met and as I was about to leave at 12:45am it started to snow. Yes, pure white snow, and for someone who hasn't seen snow before it was just amazing – to even see snow, let alone 86 floors above the ground in the most populous city in the US, so what better way to keep that moment then to 'freeze time' and take a photo.
Having originally used it on my iPhone, Instagram truly was an instant hit with my new HTC too. So make it yours. If you want to see more of my trip, I invite you to check out my instagram – username: RawBerry
P.s. Believe it or not the best way in USA to meet people of the opposite (or even same) sex, is to ask for their instagram. Phone numbers are so 2008.
Happy Snapping.

Mathematical Theory in Periodic Plane Elasticity

Bisher € 123,99
Lieferbar innert 2 Wochen
Juli 2000
BeschreibungPresenting the mathematical theory of period problems in plane elasticity by methods of complex variables. The most general formulations of such problems are proposed under the assumption that the stresses are periodic and the displacements are quasi-periodic. The general expression of complex displacements are illustrated. Periodic welding problems are studied by reducing them to periodic Riemann boundary value problems. Various periodic problems of the elastic half-plane (fundamental problems, contact problems) are treated and solved by reduction to Riemann-Hilbert boundary value problems with discontinuous coefficient. Periodic crack problems are investigated which are transferred to singular integral equations whose unique solvability is guaranteed.

81 Year Old Woman Builds A Website
Ruth Adams of Bellevue, Washington has had RA for most of her life and intends to help others with disabilities to discover the Joy of Gardening. She has developed a website to aid others in their passion for gardening with ease of use tools.
June 25, 2012 - PRLog -- Ruth Adams of Bellevue, Washington has had RA for most of her life and intends to help others with disabilities to discover the Joy of Gardening. She credits gardening with improving her health, strength and mobility. There were times in her life when she could only garden from a wheelchair in pots on her patio. She also discovered that growing flowers and vegetables in a raised bed was something that was manageable.
She has always loved to garden. As a child she was fascinated by a tiny seed becoming a beautiful flower or something edible. She states that during the Second World War when everyone was growing Victory Gardens her garden supplied the whole neighbohood with produce as everything at the store was either unavailable or rationed. She participated in 4-H Clubs and won many prizes for her labors in the garden. Until she left home for college she grew flowers and designed a brick patio and paths through the landscape.
She designed the landscape in her present home and has enjoyed her garden though RA had presented her with many challenges. Creating raised beds, rockeries, and natural areas of planting she has been able to garden into her 80's. She has used many of the tools on her website for more that 30 years and she is proud to say they are made in the USA.
Gardenateaseshops.com offers Florian Ratchet Pruners, Ratchet Loppers, and other ergonomically designed tools for folks with limited hand and arm strength. The sight also list many items to beautify your landscape and home, like bird feeders, mail posts, and seasonal items like snow roof rakes, a greenhouse, and cedar storage bench. There is an assortment of gardenwear, including gloves, hats, and aprons, to offer protection from sun and weather.
She claims gardening can be done from a wheelchair in raised beds or just pots on the deck or patio. She encourages other with disabilities to experience the Joy of Gardening and find as she did that it is so good for the body, mind, and spirit to get outdoors and create something useful and beautiful. At whatever comfort level you can establish, gardening can be fun and rewarding.

Survival in the digital age
With a turnover of EUR 2.6 billion in 2015, online retailer Zalando is one of the digital winners. The recipe for success: completely customer-centred, simple ordering, fast delivery, uncomplicated service and always available. myTaxi has turned the taxi business completely upside down. With a market share of 40 percent in Germany, almost half of all taxis use an app in the place of a traditional telephone switchboard.
However, traditional companies have also made the leap into the digital future: Otto, the world's second largest general distributor after Amazon, optimizes its demand forecast every day for more than 100,000 items. Or Nike, which has transformed itself from a sports supplier to a lifestyle company and now offers a broad range of products, from customizable trainers right up to data-based fitness advice.
Digital Readiness
How fit are German companies – especially classic market participants? The neuland experts illustrate this using the Digital Readiness Index for different sectors – from the automotive industry, through the insurance sector right up to the pharmaceutical industry. An indication of the future viability of companies.
The losers include well-known companies such as Neckermann, Praktiker, Quelle, Financial Times Germany and Agfa – more will follow. Analyst and forward thinker Brian Solis actually expects that around 70 percent of the "Fortune 1000" companies will be replaced by others in the coming years.
Zero Distance!
Flash is not available.
Yesterday a start-up, today a giant with revenue in the billions. For decades, it was the market leaders. Now, it's the online leaders. While dinosaur retailers such as Neckermann are filing for bankruptcy, the likes of Zalando and Otto are thriving in the online market. They've come forward with business models that are radically customer-centered.
Zero Distance – the answer to digital Darwinism
In order to survive in the face of fierce competition companies have to achieve closer proximity to people. Appeal to their customers with their brands in a more unique and direct way. Use the available information for better, faster decisions. That's because customer requirements have changed considerably. Companies can achieve this goal with the appropriate use of disruptive technologies such as cloud computing, big data, social media and mobility. According to the analysts, "If they appear focused, they have the power to change our traditional business world radically". Plus, they create a radical new proximity – "Zero Distance".
Best Practice Cases
The success of Zero Distance is proved by best practice cases such as SureNow from Allianz: Holiday makers can easily get customised insurance via the app, even on the way to their destination. Or Runtastic – the company serves over 25 million mobile users with its fitness app. And the smart, trackable BAG2GO suitcase, developed by Airbus and RIMOWA together with T-Systems. It saves fuel and doesn't get lost.
IT as a growth driver
The transformation of the IT of Africa's biggest glass producer Consol shows how digitising a traditional company supports its growth targets: A doubling in volume of glass production in just four years as well as 16 percent savings in IT costs in the first year.
T-Systems as a digitization and transformation partner
With around ten years of cloud experience, a provider of end-to-end services and with a comprehensive portfolio, T-Systems makes startups industry-capable, supports firms with digital pilot projects and enables the IT transformation of traditional companies. We assist you in the development of your digital vision, an appropriate strategy and its subsequent implementation. With customised workshops, T-Systems will guide your company on the way to the digital future.

TOKYO (The Japan News/ANN) - The number of "antenna shops," or stores run by local governments to sell local products and promote tourism, is increasing in Tokyo.
Tokyo's popularity among domestic and foreign tourists makes it an ideal place to understand consumers' needs and identify items that might become the next hot product.
With the Tokyo Olympics and Paralympics approaching in 2020, more such stores are expected to open in the capital.
Nagasaki Prefecture's antenna shop in Chuo Ward — called Nihonbashi Nagasakikan — held a tasting and sales event for local specialties in December.
Many people showed up to sample jellies and sweets made with local fruits like strawberries and pomelos. The goods were being sold under the prefecture's signature brand, "Nagasaki Shiki Batake."
Nagasakikan opened last spring and stocks about 1,500 different local foods and traditional craft items.
"We want to show what is special about Nagasaki, and inform our producers back home about what products sell in the Tokyo area," said Hagemu Muranaka, deputy chief of the prefecture's Tokyo office.
The Nihonbashi district is home to multiple antenna shops. In addition to Nagasakikan, there are stores run by Yamanashi, Yamaguchi, Nara and other prefectures, all trying to sell their own version of hometown charm.
Some people come to Nihonbashi just to visit all the antenna shops, and each store's efforts to draw in more customers have created a synergistic effect.
The popularity of cuisine made with local products has boosted the growth of antenna shops in Tokyo.
There were 55 antenna shops in Tokyo as of April 2015, according to the Japan Center for Regional Development, a group based in Chuo Ward that supports local efforts nationwide.
That is about a 50 per cent increase from the 36 stores in fiscal 2008.
The stores concentrate near Tokyo Station, such as in the Gina, Yurakucho and Nihonbashi districts. Many of them also have restaurants that prepare dishes with local ingredients, according to the centre.
When the Olympics and Paralympics come to Tokyo in four years, there will be more chances to sell to tourists from overseas. Because of this, Tokyo is expected to get even more antenna shops.
About 10 months from now, Shiga Prefecture plans to open a shop in Nihonbashi that combines products for sale with opportunities to learn about local history and culture.
"We want to tell the whole country about how nice Shiga is," a prefectural official in charge of the matter said.
Among localities already promoting themselves, Tottori and Okayama prefectures jointly manage a store near JR Shinbashi Station in Minato Ward. This month, they are planning an event at which paying customers can enjoy local sake from Okayama and snacks from the Seto Inland Sea.
The event is part of an effort to attract new customers.
"With the Olympics coming, we are getting a never-ending stream of calls from local governments thinking about opening a shop," said Chizuru Hatada, head of the public relations office at the Japan Center for Regional Development.
It looks like the competition over local pride is only going to get hotter.

SPC: Verse47
Verse47's entry into the Summer Prose Competition 2010
Challenge #1
The wind blew in Scott's face as he raced across the cobblestone bridge, floating just high enough over the splashing waves to keep him dry. He ignored the feeling of the ocean's relaxing spray in his hair as he swiftly continued down the bridge. When he reached the half open door, he sped right through, hoping to reach the top of the palace as quickly as he could. He traveled up ten flights of winding stairs before finally bursting through the corridors to the throne room and kneeling on the vertical, crimson carpet, now sweating uncontrollably.
"Hello, Dear," began the queen, his mother, "Explain your tardiness immediately."
"I'm sorry, Mother, I was just in the village-"
"Stop there." She snapped back at him, "Remind me again what I've told you about your little visits to the village."
"They aren't allowed..." he bluntly replied.
"Correct," she hissed as she stood up from her golden throne and began pacing, "so why have you disobeyed me, Scott?"
"I-" he began before being cut off by her once again.
"Don't answer that, Scott" she shouted abruptly, "because I already know."
He lowered his blushing face, trying to avoid her piercing stare.
"Get up!" she snapped, "You have a meeting to attend."
Without another word, he jumped to his trembling feet, exited the room as quickly as possible, and headed to his chamber to change out of his sweaty clothes. When he was clean and prepared, he emerged from the gloomy wooden doors and anxiously marched to the conference chamber. He quietly eased the double doors open and slid his head in for a quick peak, only to find every eye in the room glaring at him. He saw that his mother had gotten there before him, and joined in with the rest of the council in staring at him.
"Err.. Sorry I'm late, everyone.." he nervously apologized. The awkwardness seemed to rush upon him as he spoke those words.
The faces simultaneously turned and directed their attention back to the front of the room, as if rehearsed to do so. Scott found his red cushioned seat and joined them.
"Back to business," one of the elderly councilmen began.... The rest of the meeting is a blur to him, simply because he didn't pay a bit of attention, as usual.
He awoke the next morning as sunlight streamed through the windows in his chamber. He had full intentions to take a trip to the village today, despite his mothers unreasonable orders, so he readied himself for the brief journey and snuck out of the palace on one of the small wooden rafts that he'd crafted himself for when he wanted to escape from his dull palace life.
The coloured leaves crunched under his feet with each step he took. The crisp Autumn air wrapped comfortably around him, forcing him to crack a smile, despite his grouchy mood. The walks to the village just might've been his favourite part of visiting if it weren't for her, his love, Annabelle. She was the reason he sacrificed his honor and escaped the from palace regularly. He loved her. He was sure of it, and the only way to see her was to visit her at the village, for he knew his mother would never grant her permission to visit him in the castle, for she was only the daughter of a farmer. This was one of those moments that he lost himself in thoughts of her, but she sadly left his mind when a scream of terror pierced the silent air..

Control saprolegniasis on channel catfish eggs and improving hatch rate by chemical means (Mitchell and Straus). Subobjective 2C. Evaluate caprylic acid to control streptococcosis in sunshine bass (Darwish). These objectives are designed to address current research concerns of stakeholders and will help in the ultimate goal of better treatments for disease epizootics resulting in higher profits for producers.
Objective 1. An infection method will be developed for white bass and sunshine bass to produce consistent mortalities similar to a natural infection of the bacterial disease columnaris caused by F. columnare. Resistance to columnaris will be characterized in families of sunshine bass and white bass, and maternal and paternal effects will be determined. The expression level of the putative virulence genes (identified by sequence comparison) in F. columnare will be characterized to provide insight into bacterial pathogenesis. Reverse-transcriptase real-time PCR methods will be developed and used to profile the transcript level of selected genes in isolates of high and low pathogenicity. Objective 2. The efficacy of CuSO4 against columnaris will be tested in vitro using micro-dilution assays and in vivo by using four treatment levels of CuSO4 against a columnaris disease model simulating a natural infection. The scenarios used to expose channel catfish to CuSO4 prior to bacterial challenge based on previous work will consist of either pre-exposure to CuSO4 dissolved in the water or pre-exposure to CuSO4 incorporated in feed. Research will be designed to improve the effectiveness of CuSO4, H2O2, and formalin to fungi on channel catfish eggs and on the hatch rate of these eggs. A new aquaculture therapeutant (peracetic acid) will be used to treat saprolegniasis on intact channel catfish eggs in hatching troughs. The concentration of caprylic acid that inhibits the bacteria S. iniae will be determined in vitro and its potential efficacy will be assessed against an experimental S. iniae infection in sunshine bass.
