Titan to the rescue
No sooner had they arrived back at the other end of the street, or Titan's cell phone started to ring. Titan quickly got off his board and answered the call. One of the officers had called him, and told him that there was a large fire in an apartment complex which was a few blocks away from where he was.
"Hey guys, I have to go back to work. I need to help out with a fire. Can you watch my skateboard for me?" Titan asked the boys.
"Sure, we'll watch your board for you…" Jesse replied.
"Thanks… I'll be right back!"
Then Titan pushed himself into the air and quickly disappearing over the horizon, leaving the four boys behind. All of Titan's new friends stared at the sky as the mighty hero streaked over the DC skyline.
"Dude! What are you going to do with his board?" Erik asked Jesse.
"I'm gonna paint it. But, don't tell him when he comes back. It'll be a surprise!" he replied.
"What if he comes looking for it?" Nathan wondered. "What are we supposed to tell him?"
"Dude… This guy is really strong! You don't want to rip off his skateboard!" Ethan added. "I wouldn't mess with him if I were you!"
"Don't worry… All you need to do is stall him… Trust me, it'll be worth it!" Jesse replied.
"I don't like this…" Ethan sighed.
"You don't want to get a dude like Titan ticked off at you…" Erik added.
"Don't worry, you guys… Just keep him busy! Ask him to show off his powers and stuff… Leave everything to me…" Jesse said, as he took Titan's board under his arm and walked into the garage at his house, closing and locking the door behind him.
"Come on, you guys…" Ethan said. "Let's go to my house… I'm getting thirsty…"
Ethan, Erik and Nathan then got on their boards and skated on to Ethan's house. There, Ethan turned on the TV set, where they watched the news, hoping to catch a report on the fire which had broken out. Maybe they would see their hero in action on TV?
Moments later, and barely four miles away, Titan had landed at an apartment complex, where the room on the fifth floor had caught on fire due to an electrical short. The wiring was old and worn out, and a short had caused a flame to ignite, leading to the roof of the small room to catch on fire. The fire alarm in the building had gone off, and someone had called the police and the fire department had also been dispatched to the scene.

Squamous cell carcinoma of the lungs is one form of non-small cell lung cancer. Non-small cell lung cancers account for about 80 percent of lung cancers, and of these, roughly 30 percent are squamous cell carcinomas.

Overview

Squamous cell carcinoma begins in the tissue that lines the air passages in the lungs. It is also known as epidermoid carcinoma. Most squamous cell carcinomas of the lungs are located centrally, usually in the larger bronchi that join the trachea to the lung. Squamous cell carcinomas are linked more strongly with smoking than other forms of non-small cell lung cancers and are more common in men than in women. They tend to be slow-growing, and due to their location are often found earlier than other forms of lung cancer.The incidence of squamous cell carcinoma of the lungs has been decreasing in recent years, whereas another form of lung cancer, adenocarcinoma has been increasing. It is thought by some that the addition of filters to cigarettes allows smoke to be inhaled more deeply into the lungs where adenocarcinomas tend to occur.

Symptoms

Common symptoms of lung cancer include a persistent cough, coughing up blood, and wheezing. Since squamous cell carcinomas tend to be located near the large airways, they often cause symptoms earlier than other forms of lung cancer. Obstruction of the airway can lead to infections such as pneumonia, or collapse of part of a lung (atelectasis).

Squamous cell carcinoma is the most common cause of something known as Pancoast syndrome or superior sulcus syndrome. Pancoast syndrome is caused by lung cancers that begin near the top of the lungs and invade structures nearby. Symptoms often include shoulder pain that radiates down the inside of the arm, weakness or prickly sensations in the hands, flushing or sweating on one side of the face, and a droopy eyelid (Horner's syndrome).

Individuals with squamous cell carcinoma are also more likely to experience an elevated calcium level (hypercalcemia) which can result in muscle weakness and cramps. Hypercalcemia is one of the symptoms of paraneoplastic syndrome and is caused by a tumor secreting a hormone-like substance that raises the calcium level in the blood.

Diagnosis

Squamous cell carcinoma of the lungs is often first suspected when abnormalities are seen on an x-ray. Further evaluation may include:

Chest CT Scan

Sputum Cytology – Since squamous cell carcinomas often extend into the airway, a sample of sputum can sometimes detect cancer cells

Bronchoscopy

PET Scan - a test designed to look for actively growing tumors

Endobronchial Ultrasound

Depending upon the results, your doctor will usually want to obtain a sample of tissue (lung biopsy) to confirm the diagnosis and will order further tests to check to see if your cancer has spread.

Staging

Squamous cell carcinoma of the lungs is broken down into 4 stages:

Stage 1 – The cancer is localized within the lung and has not spread to any lymph nodes

Stage 2 – The cancer has spread to lymph nodes or the lining of the lungs, or is in a certain area of the main bronchus

Stage 3 – The cancer has spread to tissue near the lungs

Stage 4 – The cancer has spread (metastasized) to another part of the body

Doctors also use another, more confusing way to decide upon the stage of a lung cancer. In this they look at the size of the tumor (represented by a T), whether nodes are affected, where and how many (represented by an N), and whether or not the tumor has spread (metastasized) to regions of the body outside of the lungs, or to the other lung (represented by an M). For example, your doctor may describe your lung cancer as T3N2S0. This is explained further in the following article:

TNM Staging of Lung Cancer

Understanding the Stages of Lung Cancer

Causes

Squamous cell carcinoma of the lung is strongly associated with smoking, but other causes can contribute as well.

Occupational Causes of Lung Cancer

Genetics and Lung Cancer

Treatments

Depending upon the stage of squamous cell carcinoma of the lungs, treatment may include surgery, chemotherapy, radiation therapy, or a combination of these. Many clinical trials are in progress looking for new ways to treat this cancer and to help decide which treatments are most effective.

Surgery

When lung cancer is caught in the early stages, surgery may offer a chance to cure the disease.

Chemotherapy

Chemotherapy may be used alone, in conjunction with radiation therapy, or following surgery for lung cancer. Squamous cell carcinoma of the lungs responds somewhat differently than other lung cancers such as adenocarcinoma to chemotherapy medications. Common medications used initially with this type of cancer include Platinol (cisplatin) and Gemzar (gemcitabine). For those who respond to treatment, continuous (maintenance treatment) with Tarceva (erlotinib) or Alimta (pemetrexed) may be used.

Radiation Therapy

Radiation therapy may be used to treat cancer or to control symptoms related to the spread of cancer. Radiation may be given externally, or internally (brachytherapy) in which radioactive material is delivered to a precise area of the lungs during a bronchoscopy.

Targeted Therapy (Anti-EGFR Antibody)

You may have heard about the use of targeted drugs to treat EGFR mutations in lung adenocarcinoma. EGFR, or epidermal growth factor receptor, is a protein involved in driving the growth of a cancer. Squamous cell carcinoma of the lungs may also be treated by targeting the EGFR pathway, but by a different mechanism. Instead of targeting EGFR mutations, anti-EGFR antibodies are a class of drugs used to bind to EGFR on the outside of cancer cells. When EGFR is thus bound, the signaling pathway which tells the cell to grow is halted. Portrazza (necitumumab) was approved in 2015 to use along with chemotherapy for advanced squamous cell cancers.

Immunotherapy

 In 2015 a new treatment was approved for people with this disease. The medication Opdivo (nivolumab) is a form of immunotherapy, and can be thought of simplistically as a treatment that enhances our body's own immune system to fight cancer. If may help to think of your immune system as a car. The "brakes" are controlled by a protein called PD-1. Opdivo in this analogy works to block PD-1-- the brakes--allowing the immune system to fight against the cancer without interference--in essence, taking the brakes off the car. The treatment is currently approved for people with metastatic squamous non-small cell lung cancer whose cancer has progressed during or after standard platinum-based chemotherapy. (Platinum-based chemotherapy refers to a chemotherapy regimen including Platinol (cisplatin) or Paraplatin (carboplatin).

Subtypes

Squamous cell lung cancers are further divided into 4 subtypes by what they look like under a microscope and how they behave. These include:

Primitive

Classical

Secretory

Basal

We know there are survival differences between these subtypes but are just learning about how each type may respond differently to different drugs. Most subtypes respond to at least one of the commonly used chemotherapy drugs. An exception may be secretory squamous cell lung cancer. This subtype is less sensitive to commonly used chemotherapy drugs because it tends to be slower growing (and chemotherapy is often most effective on fast-growing cancers since it targets dividing cells).

Prognosis

The overall 5-year survival rate for lung cancer is sadly only about 15%. For early-stage disease, especially when surgery can remove the tumor, the survival rate is much higher.

Lung Cancer Survival Rates by Type Stage

Coping

A diagnosis of squamous cell carcinoma of the lungs is frightening and you may feel very alone. Allow your loved ones to support you. Many people have no idea how to react towards someone who is diagnosed with cancer. Letting people know specific things they can do to help may ease their anxiety, as well as fill your need for extra support at this time. Ask questions. Consider joining a lung cancer support group either through your cancer center or online. Talking with others who have "been there" can make the world seem a little smaller.

Another NightMature
In the morning, I felt a lot like I did when I'd cheated on Hadley.
And hung over.
I could smell food, but my stomach wasn't having any of it. Clearly I wasn't gonna be eating any time soon.
"You finally awake?" I heard a chuckle, but in my head it turned into a booming cacophony of evilness. I looked up at him and he handed me a glass of water and some painkillers. I took them, cocooning myself in his duvet and he laughed. "Want anything to eat?"
"I will throw up if I see food," I groaned at him.
"I'll hide while I have lunch then."
"Thank you." He went off to hide and have his lunch, but apparently it wasn't enough. While I was throwing up I became all too aware of the ache in my butt. Had it really been that long? Once the guy... Ash, was it? Once Ash had finished eating, he came into the bathroom to find me sprawled across the bathroom floor, half hugging the toilet.
"My ass hurts. My head and my ass both hate me," I whined, feeling sorry for myself. He hugged me, and I rested my head on his shoulder, trying to ignore my brain throbbing angrily against my skull. He planted a kiss on the top of it. "Was I really stupid last night?"
"No. Why?"
"I feel like I was, but I don't remember."
"You weren't. I don't think you were, anyway."
"'Kay. M'sorry if I was. And if I was crap in bed."
"You weren't," he smiled. I would've smiled back, but I might've been sick again if I did anything other than sit there leaning on him
"I can see why someone married you," he chuckled.
"Can you?"
"Well, you're very good looking for a start. And you're not too shabby in bed, even when you're too drunk to remember much." My face started to heat up at that, and I hummed a little as he kissed me on the cheek. I was too hung over to be dealing with the weird feelings of betrayal and liking the company I had and whatever else was going on in my head. He snuggled up to me and I laughed a little, staggering to my feet. If we were going to snuggle, we could at least snuggle on the sofa, instead of the floor in the bathroom. He tilted his head a little. "What's so funny?"
"I dunno. I was snuggling on the bathroom floor of someone I barely know, butt naked and hung over like a bitch. It's just been a long time since I've done that." He laughed. I snuggled back up to him now that we'd moved to the sofa and kept on rambling. "Now I've thrown up, though, you're more than welcome to have me again before I sober up enough to feel weird about sleeping with a stranger," I grinned.
"Only if you want me to," he said, laughing again.
"As long as you use more lube than last night," I giggled.
"Sorry about that," he kissed me on the forehead and scurried off to get the lube.
"Don't be sorry, I just haven't had sex in forever."
"Me either."
I smiled, unbuttoning his shirt, "Be gentle with me and my hangover."
"Yessir." For the record, he was perfectly gentle, and if my emotions weren't being fucking stupid, I probably would've stayed another night.

Controversy Over Decision to Call Off Rap Concert
April 4, 2014
North Carolina State University called off a rap concert scheduled for tonight, and student organizers are criticizing the decision, ABC 11 reported. University officials cited student safety as the reason, saying that they had seen reports that Migos, one of the groups slated to perform, had been involved in a shooting incident in Florida last week. Black students are planning a rally tonight in place of the concert, charging that their events are held to a higher standard, and that there was no need to cancel the event.

Fan Sleeps In Stands During Yankees / Red Sox Game, Then Sues League And ESPN
This New York man was shown sleeping during a Yankees-Red Sox game broadcast on ESPN has filed a defamation lawsuit against the League, The Yankees, ESPN and commentators Dan Shulman and John Kruk, claiming defamation and intentional infliction of emotional distress for the comments you'll hear below on the video. He's seeking $10 MILLION in damages.
I've been in radio since 1981, starting on Cape Cod, and in Boston, Massachusetts where I grew up. (when The Sox and Patriots both broke everyone's hearts, and the Celtics ruled. Funny how things change.)
After 3 years in Las Vegas in the late 80's, early 90's I was looking for work and luckily found myself here in Cleveland in 1991, through some mutual radio friends. I got to play the hits as Jammin 92's Night guy until 1999, and met Britney Spears back when she wasn't making people gag.
After watching my former company screw up the Jammin' Oldies thing for a couple of years, I came to Majic in 2001, the best decision I ever made!

Hintz placed first in the event, which featured some of the top girls pole vaulters in the state, finishing with a pole vault of 12 feet. Warrior head coach Scott Lindsay said it's a "great feeling" for Hintz to make the 12 foot mark early in the season and said she's focusing on improving her pole vault heights as the season goes on. Today, junior Taylor Duncan will take part in the boys pole vault, while senior Michael Worsch will compete in the 400 hurdles and senior Rachel Cink will take part in the 400 hurdles. Senior Rebecca Cink will compete in the disus. The Stanford Invitational is considered one of the top events in the region and is by invitation only. (Photo courtesy of David Cink).

A teacher has been forced to resign after her second career as an online porn star was uncovered by a pupil.
The teacher – who has been named only as Georgiana D – lost her job after a 14-year-old pupil found explicit images and videos of the 27-year-old, reports The Mirror.
The teenager, who is a pupil at the same Romanian school in which Georgiana was working, apparently 'stumbled' (yeah, okay) across the graphic videos of the teacher having sex before sharing them with friends.
Inevitably, the school soon became aware of the material, leaving Georgiana with no choice but to resign.
School principal, Mariana Catrina, has launched an investigation into the matter, saying:
We were shocked. We couldn't imagine that a teacher at the school would do such a thing.
When I confronted her and showed her the pictures, she said that the images were faked.
In my opinion, it is a very serious situation because it goes against the moral and legal principles of the school. It has caused a lot of damage.
Georgiana had been teaching at the school for two years before the scandal emerged, returning to her home town after gaining a degree in geography.
One parent said:
It's not normal. If she thinks she can earn more money with that sort of career, she has the right. But she definitely has to quit teaching.
Georgiana could still be hit with a lifetime ban from teaching as education officials continue their investigation.
Magda Andreescu, an education inspector, said:
The inspectorate will take further action in order to forbid her from teaching in the future.
Even though she took part in these activities in her private life, we consider that they are not suitable for someone who is supposed to be a role model.
Porn and teaching just don't really go hand in hand do they…

| Persephone Lupin chapter 1 . 8/28/2005
Although you have a point with the mention of the Draught of the living Death and Hagrid, I don't believe that Dumbledore is still alive. I don't think there would be a picture of him in the headmaster's office in that case. We'll see in a few years. However, I fully agree with your theory that Snape acted on Dumbledore's request and is not a traitor (see also my story 'Amoris Infinitas', LOL). I was also kind of confused about when Snape began to spy, in GoF it seems to have been before Voldemort's downfall, but in HBP it sounds more that it was afterwards, although I would prefer him to have turned to the Light before that fateful night, your explanation sounds reasonable.

Author response to review by duj on 8/25/05:
I'll admit duj, that your review had me in a bit of a tizzy this morning. I couldn't believe that I'd actually forgotten such an important piece of canon!
A little bit of research later and I've concluded that Dumbledore does no such thing. In Goblet of Fire, during the pensieve scene when Harry sees Karkaroff give up Snape as a Death Eater, Dumbledore assures Harry that Snape works for good now, but is no more specific than that. (I don't have my books with me for page numbers & whatnot.)
You don't actually have to take my word for it - the HP Lexicon (the definitive and accepted source for such information) has a time-line for Snape that lists his going to Dumbledore as being *after* James and Lily are killed, not before.
Thanks for reading!
| duj chapter 1 . 8/25/2005
In an earlier book Dumbledore tells harry quite clearly and explicitly that Snape had been spying for them BEFORE Voldemort's death therefore before the potters died. Harry's just too stupid to remember that when he gives his interpretation in HBP of why Dumbledore trusted Snape.

whoa, you obviously spent a lot of time and did a lot of thinking for this.
it explains so much and is very well written.

Jack Stott asked the Naked Scientists: Dear Dr Chris.I have plucked up the courage to write to you with a question from a colleague of mine which I can't answer.I have no idea why he wants to know this ( I think he reads too many science fiction comics or watches too much 'Star Treck' ) but here goes :-If an object of negligible size & mass is launched from a standing start in a vacuum, and is subjected to an acceleration force of 1 G - how long will it take to reach the speed of light.Hope you are able to provide an answer, or even a formula to calculate an approximate result when and if you have the time.Best RegardsJack Stott BSc(Hon) Elec Eng ScienceWhat do you think?
All that relativity garbage is just that. Garbage. As you aproach the speed of light nothing changes.
There is some weirdness that happens close to the speed of light. I read an article recently about two ships traveling close to the speed of light attached by a rope....does it break or no. Length contraction and other effects.
I didn't quite understand it, it was a bit involved...just thought id add that in.
From the speedy travelers perspective there appears to be no upper bound or speed limit. You keep on going faster and faster. Time dilation effects, you can travel anywhere in the observable universe in a short space of time, by your watch anyway.
It's easy to understand once it's properly explained. Consider two spaceships which start out from rest in the inertial frame S. Connect them with a piece of string which is strung taught. Let each of them accelerate at the exact same rate so that as measured in S they maintain the exact same distance apart. Since the string also undergoes acceleration its speed is constantly increasing. Therefore its length must undergo a Lorentz contraction.
All that relativity garbage is just that. Garbage.
As you aproach the speed of light nothing changes. It doesn't take any longer to accelerate the last half of the way to the speed of light as it does the first half. When you acheive the speed of light nothing happens , nothing changes. If you keep accelerating at 1G twice as long as that then you will be going twice the speed of light.
Since you haven't invented a spacecraft that can accelerate constantly at a 1G acceleration you automatically assume
Why do you mathematical types persist at this nonsense.
Shut up all ready you have no proof for all that hogwash.
Lorentz contraction in which frame of reference? Not in S, since "as measured in S they maintain the exact same distance apart".
It does, as long as we give a 'inertial' preference to the ship under Pete. But what happens if we define the ship above as being 'inertial' too, at rest in a gravitational field? And if we assume the ship above to be at rest, with the ship under going for it at , ahem, full throttle (one constant uniform G acceleration) it becomes really intriguing Then again, what about the contraction you observe, relative a distance measured in front of you. The ship 'under' should also see the space contracted in front of it, including the space between the ships as I think? What about the ship above, looking back, at the ship 'below', would they agree to it being a same distance between them? As they are defined as being 'at rest' with each other? What would 'at rest' mean there? Different constant distances?
Think so You're defining the ship 'under' as being 'at rest', presenting a uniform gravitational field, aka a 'inertial object' (loosely expressed a planet of some mass). You then go to define the other ship as constantly accelerating in that gravitational field.
Quote from: lightarrowLorentz contraction in which frame of reference? Not in S, since "as measured in S they maintain the exact same distance apart".Lorentz contracted in the frame in which the string is moving. When the string tries to Lorentz contract it breals because in its own istantaneous frame the spaceships are moving apart. I explained all that above.
Where does it say that "as measured in S they maintain the exact same distance apart"?
The distance between the spaceships does not undergo Lorentz contraction with respect to the distance at the start, because in S it is effectively defined to remain the same, due to the same acceleration of both spaceships.
If they maintained the same distance apart, the string wouldn't broke.
Quote from: lightarrowWhere does it say that "as measured in S they maintain the exact same distance apart"? The fact that the ships accelerate at the same rate and thus remain the same distance apart is the entire point of the paradox. In fact thats what the paradox is all about.Please read it again because it statesQuoteThe distance between the spaceships does not undergo Lorentz contraction with respect to the distance at the start, because in S it is effectively defined to remain the same, due to the same acceleration of both spaceships.I dont understand what the problem your having is. Its very simple. As measured in an inertial frame S (in flat spacetime) if two ships accelerate at the exact same rate then they must remain the exact same distance apart at all times as measured in frame S. If you dont know that they you dont know the problem at hand because this is what the problem is all about.Quote from: lightarrowIf they maintained the same distance apart, the string wouldn't broke.That's quite wrong. Consider a string whose proper is L0. The proper length of an object is defined to be the length of the object as measured in the frame in which the object is at rest.In the inertial frame S string is moving parallel to its length. In S the string has undergone a Lorentz contraction and as such it will be shortened to the length L = L0*sqrt(1 - v2/c2). Since the ships accelerate at exactly the same rate the remain the same distance apart in the frame S. Therefore after the acceleration has ended and theyre moving at constant speed the distance between them as measured in S will be greater than they were before they started moving. This means that they will be further apart than when they started. Since the properties of the string never changed the string had to break because the ends were moved apart. QED Any questions now?
Any questions now?
I don't understand something. The way this article appears listed it seems as if lightarrow posted last in the thread. When I looked at it when I read the thread it no longer appears that way. What's going on here?
Quote from: Pmb on 07/07/2013 00:54:53I don't understand something. The way this article appears listed it seems as if lightarrow posted last in the thread. When I looked at it when I read the thread it no longer appears that way. What's going on here?It's a relativistic thread. Observers don't necessarily agree on which posting event comes first.
Now for what we actually want to discuss: your acceleration and speed with respect to the world around you. We must take relativistic effects into account. For example, the distance in front of you will CONTRACT the faster you go with respect to those objects. This means that while you traveled, say, 5000 light years according to Earth, from YOUR frame of reference you might have only moved 5 meters (because, again, the distance in front of you contracts-btw to get that to happen, you'd have to have reached about 99.9999999999999999999999999999999999999933 times the speed of light according to Earth's reference frame). What's your speed if you moved 5 meters in however many years? Not even close to c. But again, you're at rest in your frame anyway (and feel an artificial gravitational field). (note: it will look like 5 meters once you hit that speed, but don't lose track of the fact that the faster you go, the more contracted things will get, which means the slower you were, the LESS contracted things were; this post is a vast oversimplification).
It will never reach the speed of light. It would take an infinite amount of energy. This results from Einstein's theory of Special Relativity. However, from the perspective of anyone travelling on this craft, they will experience a contraction in the distances in their direction of travel. So although they can never get to 186,000 miles per second they can (theoretically), nonetheless, achieve a speed such that they can travel a distance that they may initially have measured (before accelerating) as 186,000 miles in less that 1 second as measured on their clocks. If I remember correctly this turns out to be the same time (to get to this speed) as would be calculated by Newtonian mechanics - I would need to check this with some maths to be sure. There are some unfortunate consequences of travelling this fast resulting from time dilation so that should return at some point you would find the earth you left having aged considerably compared to yourself.

Wauwatosa Health Department officials expect long lines of people hoping to get a vaccine to protect against the H1N1 virus, also called the swine flu, during its clinic today from 3 to 6 p.m. at City Hall.
"We're asking that people be patient," Heath Officer Nancy Kreuser said. "There will probably be long waiting periods."
She cautions people to dress appropriately as the waiting line could extend outdoors for long periods of time.
Because large crowds are anticipated, city staff has set up a traffic flow plan. Drivers should enter the City Hall parking lot from Wauwatosa Avenue and exit onto North Avenue.
Kreuser also is asking the public to understand only certain population groups will qualify for the vaccine at this point. Those people who do not fall into the target groups will be turned away.
"Right now we're trying to protect the most vulnerable, and that seems to be the younger population," she said.
Vaccines will given to the following people: pregnant women; health-care workers with direct patient contact; children ages 6 months to 4 years old; children 5 to 18 with medical conditions that put them at high risk for flu-related complications; and people who care for infants 6 months and younger.
"These are the people that are being hit the hardest," she said.
Many seniors have asked why they are not yet eligible for the swine flu vaccine. The older population seems to not be at high risk for complications, possibly due to some form of contact and immunity built during their lifetimes, Kreuser sad.
But eventually their will be enough vaccine for every resident who wants a dose, she said. So far, manufacturing delays have resulted in limited supply, but the Health Department expects shipments of additional doses on a weekly basis.
For H1N1 clinic updates, call the city's flu message line at (414) 479-8938.

How ESS is helping largest Ecommerce shopping cart provider on web.
Hi Everyone.
I am overwhelmed with so much appreciation we are getting from customers all around and I am about to share this amazing testimonial given to ESS by one of our customer.
This customer is the leading shopping cart solution provider on web and they love ESS. Want to know why? Read yourself
Managing multiple projects across several different teams is no easy task, just ask anyone charged with juggling such duties. 3dcart, a leading eCommerce shopping cart provider, has been able to master the art in their Internet marketing division by enhancing the power of their project management system, Basecamp, with the ESS Basecamp plugin which is yielding results.
"We've used Basecamp to manage our projects since we launched our marketing division two years ago," says Joe Palko, chief marketing officer at 3dcart. "I manage several different teams with dozens of employees and I needed additional visibility into their performance and other key metrics that Basecamp doesn't provide. By adding the ESS Basecamp plugin, I now have access to reports and data that helps me make my teams more productive."
The ESS Basecamp plugin provides additional levels of reporting not found in Basecamp including, charts and filters for reports that detail the businesses key performance indicators (KPIs), a better organized list of to-dos, individual user reports that focus on performance and "smart insights" into projects that allow users to uncover areas leading to productivity loss.
"The small price we pay for the ESS Basecamp plugin each month is easily recouped many times over on a daily basis," added Palko. "We've really been able to maximize our level of productivity thanks to ESS."
For more information on 3dcart and the services they provide for eCommerce merchants, visit their website at http://www.3dcart.com. For information on the ESS Basecamp plugin, visit http://startess.com/
We are happy to share this with you all and we hope you will find ESS more and more useful in coming time. This is to all 200+ clients for making this possible for us. We are loving it and we are not stopping
Share what you love about ESS in few words and we will cover your story on our blog.
Stay Productive
Raghav Shandilya
Chief at ESS
Only when it works for you, it is really working.
Hey Everyone,
How is the month of may coming up for you? It is real hot here in our city, not joking really its hot, temperature outside our office walls is 40 degrees and that is in Celcius
But a small yet supercharged team is working 16 hours a day to make ESS the best reporting and insight integration available for you and best not only in features but best in price too. Because if you can not afford it then it is no use for you.
That is why we believe in, " Only when it works for you, it is really working."
This last week we added several new customers into premium list and they are loving ESS and the ease which comes along.
Want to share about ESS with someone you think is really in need of good reporting and insights for their project management system?
Share our website link with them http://startess.com, and there is a good chance that person might be buying you dinner or a beer at-least
Stay Productive
Team ESS

Pet owner ignorance is fuelling the illegal online sale of POM-V products and vets hold the key to help solving the problem, according to the VMD.
Simon Hack, head of the VMD's Enforcement Team told Veterinary Times "a major percentage" of illegal POM-V products they now identified online were being sold not through deliberate criminal activity, but by ordinary pet owners who were ignorant of the law.
Legal advice
Mr Hack suggested UK companion animal owners and, to a lesser extent horse owners, were responsible for advertising unused POM-V medicines purely to recoup money, without knowing it was illegal to do so.
He said he was sure most of the activity was through ignorance and appealed to all UK vets to start advising clients of the law every time they issued a prescription-only product.
No sale
He said: "It's as simple as explaining to your client that they cannot sell-on that product. If they do have anything left over, they need to know that if they try to sell it then they are in breach of Veterinary Medicine Regulations.
"If they don't know what to do with it they can ask the vet to dispose of it safely, or they can contact the VMD for advice."

Haruto: A shadowMature
Us three were sitting near the lamp post when Vlad got up and walked away. I'm guessing he didn't want to be here when the police came. I didn't want to be here either. I bid my farewell to the girl who I didn't know the name of. "By the way? What is your name?"
The girl replied, "It's Xenia. And you are?"
"I'm Haruto."
"Cool name. Say how about we leave because I don't want to be here when the cops come."
"I agree. Let's go follow that boy."
We walked the same direction as the boy and we saw him talking to a girl. Then they walked in different directions. We walked up to the girl and talked with her.
"Hi. Did you see a boy, ye high. Also did you find a dead person? because from the looks of it, it seems so." I saw an ambulance. Xenia stared at a building
"Yes I did. How did you know?" The girl asks.
"There were two reported back that way" Points from where we came from.
"Oh. Were you with Vlad?"
"Vlad?" I talked to Xenia, "Was he the boy that was with us?"
"Yes I do believe so." Xenia answered.
Starts talking to other girl. "Ok, so I think it was him? I didn't catch his name."
"Oh. Ok? Well he started walking that way" She points to a building.
"Hmm. Ok, well thank you for you time." I smile.
"No problem." She says.
Xenia and I walked towards the building. "Xenia? Are you sure we should be going in there? Like there were just 3 murders."
"I thought I saw something earlier. It looked like a person."
"Well I think we sh-" I saw a shadow. It looked like a person.
"Haruto? What, did you see something?"
"Y-yes. C-can we g-go?"
"Well I suppose." She sounded annoyed.
"I'm sorry. I am scared of dark places."
"Well, that's ok. When I was your age, I was scared of dark places too."
"Really. *phew* That's a relief."
I looked back and I saw the shadow except it was more clear. I saw a glimpse of his face. He had something on one of his eyes, probably an eye patch. He also at a scar from the bottom side of his left eye to down to his chin. I got the chills.
"Xenia. Let's hurry." I was scared. We quickly walked away. I think she was scared too. Unless she didn't want to go in? I don't know. She seems like a hard person to read.

District leaders revise spending strategies to cope with strains of Affordable Care Act
Some school employees face getting the short end of the stick as district leaders work to comply with new Affordable Care Act requirements while juggling tight budgets.
Many education stakeholders, including teachers unions, supported the ACA and ensure all students have access to health care. Research shows health is positively linked to academic performance, attendance and graduation rates. The ACA also provides grants for school-based health centers, community-school health partnerships, and services for pregnant and parenting adolescents.
But many superintendents say the cost burden is being placed on districts that are already cash-strapped. Some superintendents are reducing teacher health benefits and slashing the hours of part-time staff to avoid tax penalties and the high costs of insuring all employees. And such cuts could indirectly hurt the students.

In issuing the final regulations for the Affordable Care Act yesterday, the Obama administration announced that organizations with 50 to 99 full-time employees will now have until January 1, 2016, to provide affordable coverage under the Employer Mandate. These organizations will still be required to report on employees and coverage in 2015, but penalties will not apply until 2016.
The administration also announced that employers with 100 or more full-time employees are required to offer coverage to just 70% of full-time employees in 2015, followed by 95% in 2016. Employers with fewer than 50 full-time employees are still not required to provide benefits. Read more here: U.S. Treasury press release.
November 15, 2013
President Obama announced yesterday that insurers can offer customers the option to renew their current plans for 2014, even if those plans don't meet the new health care reform requirements. This extension was added to address the number of Americans who have received cancellation notices from their insurance companies if those plans were non-compliant with the ACA.

Intrinsic membrane properties are important in the regulation of motoneuronal output during such behaviours as locomotion. A conductance through L-type calcium channels has been implicated as an essential component in the transduction of motoneuronal input to output during locomotion.

University of the Witwatersrand, Johannesburg, South Africa
PURPOSE: We have recently demonstrated that clarithromycin, at sub-MIC concentrations, attenuates the production of pneumolysin, the most important virulence factor of the pneumococcus, even in isolates with high-level macrolide resistance. We wished to determine whether clarithromycin also interfered with the growth of these microorganisms.
METHODS: We studied ermB-expressing strains of S. pneumoniae (macrolide MIC > 256 ug/ml), which were exposed to sub-MIC concentrations of clarithromycin, from the outset, or 6 hours after initiation of culture. In one representative strain, growth was also studied in the presence of catalase or CSP-1, and measurements were also made of ATP concentrations, evidence of protein synthesis, and gene expression.
RESULTS: Exposure of the test strains to sub-MIC concentrations of clarithromycin from the outset of culture resulted in transient suppression of bacterial growth for 10-12 hours. Exposure at 6 hours resulted in an abrupt halt in growth followed by recovery. Inhibition of growth was associated with a marked decrease in ATP production (72.3%) and of protein synthesis (92.3%), but was not prevented by prior inclusion of catalase or CSP-1. Inhibition of growth was overcome by prior culture of the strains in clarithromycin. A four-fold increase in ermB expression was detected within 15 minutes of exposure to the antibiotic.
CONCLUSION: Exposure of pneumococci expressing high-level macrolide resistance to clarithromycin, at sub-MIC concentrations, resulted in transient suppression of growth.
CLINICAL IMPLICATIONS: If operative in vivo, the transient inhibition of pneumococcal growth and the accompanying attenuation of pneumolysin production may explain why the addition of a macrolide to standard beta-lactam therapy is associated with improved outcome in patients with severe pneumococcal infections, even with strains expressing macrolide resistance.

My First Mission
We ran when we heard a scream. Earlier that day I had just been doing the only thing that kept me busy when I wasn't doing anything else. Practicing my swordsmanship. Then Percy came over and said that he and Annabeth were going on a mission and that they wanted me to come. So here we were now running toward the place where we heard the scream. We arrived and saw a minotar running toward a girl who wasn't much younger that we were.
"Alright then. Annabeth you get the girl to safety." Percy began giving out orders "Jenna you distract him while I go in for the kill." I nodded nervously pulling out my sword. My sword was sort of like Percy's pen only it was the charm on my bracelet that my dad had given me. (My real dad). I ran in front of the girl and said "Hey you! I'm right here come and get me!" I ran after that and thankfully (well not really but at least it got him away from the girl) he followed me. The minotar began to catch up and I thought I was a gonner until Percy charged off to the things right and got it. It evaporated and we saw Annabeth farther down the road with the girl next to her.
"Are you guys okay?" Percy asked once they made if over us.
"I think so." I said still shaking Percy smiled
"Don't worry about it. You did great." he said and I had to smile.
"So what's your name?" I asked the girl who looked up at us warrily "Don't worry your safe now." I new exactly what she was feeling. I think we all did.

Telling Touch
The passion is dead.
The lightning is cold and cries Winter in Summer's hea[r]t.
The telling touch of his fingers
Is gossip between sharp teeth and serpent tongues--
With each night passing,
They grow darker and more inside themselves,
Not each other.--
The words stick.
The kisses stop.
The heartbeat halts...
And continues on.

Fortified Bike Light
To prevent theft, 80% of bikers frequently unclip their lights and forget them at home. Even more infuriating for cyclists, 1 in 3 riders have had bike lights stolen at some point. As a result, we're forced to cycle home in the dark - an incredibly dangerous pursuit that should not be risked by anyone. But cycling in the dark can now be a thing of the past because the good chaps at Fortified have designed a light to put the control back in our handlebars.
The Aviator and Afterburner lights lock to your handlebars and seat post with custom security bolts and are theft proof so you never need to take them off! They are also damage and weather proof and are guaranteed to last forever - if they're ever stolen, broken or water damaged, Fortified will replace them for free! Note that the anti-theft guarantee only covers Fortified gear, so if your non-Fortified bike is stolen, the guarantee will not apply. But Fortified encourage you to still get in touch - they have made a sport of catching bike thieves.
Easy-to-remove, rechargeable USB batteries can be swapped out on-the-go so you'll never be left cycling in the dark. 150 lumens in the front perfectly illuminates city streets, while 30 lumens in the rear keeps drivers alert. If you're looking to fully illuminate the darkest suburban paths and urban alleyways, try the Boost version with 300 lumens in the front and 60 lumens in the rear to keep drivers at a distance.
The great anti-theft design of these lights will leave you with peace of mind when leaving your bike in busy urban areas.

[caption id="attachment_10976" align="alignnone" width="640" caption="Photo courtesy of Kendrick Lamar Facebook"][/caption]
When Hive caught up with Kendrick Lamar last month after the release of his critically acclaimed new album Section 80, the fledgling California rapper discussed the mindset that contributed to the album's dark tone. "That's just the space I'm in now," he said. "I wanted to speak on the people that are growing up in the world today. [As] a generation I feel like we're all lost at some point and time in our lives and I just wanted to talk about that." This disillusionment extends to this new video for "A.D.H.D.," eschewing the song's drug theme for a more substantive and relatable tale of youthful ennui.
Directed by Va$htie, who's helmed videos for Jadakiss, Kid Cudi and Theophilus London, "A.D.H.D." shows Lamar and his crew biking aimlessly around Los Angeles before messing around in an abandoned office building with swivel chairs and coat racks. For Lamar, any lack of discernible external stimulus sparks, rather than stifles, creativity. "The focus isn't the drugs," Va$htie told Life + Times. "But rather, that basic human experience of apathetic youth." In other words, dark days are dark days ... but in this case, with dirt bikes. [Watch the video for "A.D.H.D." on Life + Times.]

Cromemco Bytesaver
The Bytesaver, introduced by Cromemco in 1976, was the first programmable memory board for the MITS Altair and S-100 bus microcomputer systems. The Bytesaver had sockets for 8 UV-erasable EPROMs providing up to 8 Kbytes of storage. The EPROMs could be programmed by the Bytesaver, or read as computer memory. In the history of microcomputer systems, the Bytesaver was the first viable alternative to the use of punched paper tape for storing programs, and has been called "a great advance in microcomputer technology".[1]
The MITS Altair microcomputer, which began the personal computer revolution, was introduced in January 1975 with no hardware or software support for floppy disk or hard disk storage. When Paul Allen famously travelled to the MITS factory in Albuquerque, New Mexico to demonstrate what would become Microsoft Basic, he brought with him a punched paper tape of the code that he and Bill Gates had developed. According to Allen, the 7168 byte program took 7 minutes to load from an Teletype Model 33 paper tape reader.[2]
To reduce the time required to load software, and to support a more convenient storage medium than paper tape, Cromemco developed the first programmable solid-state storage system for the Altair microcomputer. Cromemco called it the "Bytesaver" and introduced it in the February 1976 issue of Byte Magazine.[3] With the Bytesaver the time to load Microsoft 8K Basic was reduced from 7 minutes to less than one second.[4]
The Bytesaver used solid-state UV erasable EPROMS that provided up to 8K bytes of program or data storage. The original Bytesaver could support either the type 2704 or 2708 EPROM. The Bytesaver came with one 2704 EPROM containing a program called "Bytemover" to facilitate EPROM programming. The EPROMS to be programmed were selected from the front panel switches of the Altair computer.
A switch on the Bytesaver card was used to turn on or off the EPROM programming voltage. With this switch off there was no chance for accidental programming of the memory. Once programmed the information was retained in the EPROMS, but the memory chips could be erased by removing them from the Bytesaver and placing them under an ultraviolet light.
Cromemco also offered a 3K Control Basic interpreter, developed by Li-Chen Wang. This very compact Basic was supplied on three 2708 EPROMS that could plug into the Bytesaver.[5]
Product family[edit]
The original Bytesaver, introduced in 1976, was called the 8K Bytesaver since it could store up to 8K bytes of information using eight 2708 EPROMS. One limitation of early S-100 bus microcomputer systems was the 64 Kbyte address space. Cromemco introduced the concept of bank-switching to the S-100 bus which allowed memory to be place in one of 8 banks of 64 Kbytes, thus expanding the effective address space to 512 Kbytes.[6] The Bytesaver II succeeded the 8K Bytesaver in 1978, and supported memory bank switching.[7]
For applications that required a ROM memory card, but did not require the ability to program the EPROMS, Cromemco also introduced a 16K ROM card. This card was named the 16KPR and was introduced in 1977.[8]
When the 2716 EPROM was introduced, with twice the storage capacity of the 2708, Cromemco designed the 32K Bytesaver to support that chip. Unlike earlier Bytesavers that had 8 EPROM sockets, the 32K Bytesaver had 16 sockets to provide up to 32K bytes of programmable memory.[9]

Seimitsu 'The Natural' Massage Balltop (Arcadeshock Exclusive)
Once in a while, there's a product that simply awes you. One of main goals bringing out new products to the market is to create that unique user experience beyond the aesthetic aspect.
Introducing what we consider one of the most unique products to hit the FGC. The Seimitsu 'The Natural' Massage Balltop.
When we first laid hands on this ball top, we instantly knew it was special and we wanted it, no matter the cost. Seimitsu was hesitant to have this made as the molding process didn't quite turn out the way they wanted. The sample we received was created from the 3D printing process and after attempting to mass produce this without success, Seimitsu was back to square one.
Our suggestion, "make more using the 3D printing process." Their reply was "are you sure, because it's going to be very costly." To us, everything is about experience, so we didn't hesitate or flinch when they threw a number at us. We immediately "approved, let's do this."
So to justify the cost, we needed an explanation of why it was, not for our purpose as we have made much more expensive items as samples, but moreso, for you, the buyer. So here are the features of this unique balltop:
- 100% Acrylic Material Used (much more durable and heavier than the common materials used for 3D models). The acrylic material also allows the balltop to be translucent, giving it a more attractive look
- Each balltop takes the 3D printer about 50 minutes to produce (unlike the traditional process where hundreds can be made in the same time period)
- An additional 2 hours per balltop is require to wash and smooth out the surface by hand
- The insert screw is then added as the final touch
- The color is natural as chosen by Seimitsu (no paint or gloss coat on this)
- Limited to 60 Balltops Worldwide (Seimitsu x Arcadeshock World Exclusive) 30 Sold at EVO, 30 Sold Online - No more will be produced after these quantities are fulfilled
The result? Truly a balltop that does what it's advertised as "massage" the hand. A little over the top for a balltop? Perhaps, but up to this point, it is the first balltop that goes beyond just aesthetic appeal.
What you do with this is none of our business. We're just here to bring out the coolest FGC products we can.


text: From your cold eyes, To your bruising hands. I hide in the corner, Hide my pain from all others. I want too fix you, but you seem to broken to fix. Take your pain out on me, if it helps. I can no longer watch you suffer. You are my nightmare, My ending.

Religion, Power and Violence: Expression of Politics in Contemporary Times
The 17 original essays that comprise this volume examine various aspects of socio-religious and political problems that have been sparked by the terrorist attacks of September 11, 2001. They study the use of religion to evoke mass hysteria and demonstrate how liberalization, globalization and privatization go hand-in-hand with the rise of religion-based politics. Among the issues discussed include: the educated elite's use of religion to cushion a possible underprivileged uprising; NRI funding of identity-based organizations; conversions; and the Hindutva strategy of simultaneously oppressing and attempting to mobilize sections like tribals, Dalits, workers, women and minorities.

Four states are going to the elections this summer and talks are mostly on how the BJP will fare in these tests. But why are elections in Assam, West Bengal, Kerala and Tamil Nadu so important for the saffron party?
Extending party's base in East and South
The first reason is that all these four states are significant in the BJP's scheme of things to have a more national impact. Despite Narendra Modi's presence, the BJP has not been able to make any permanent inroads in the eastern and southern parts of the country.
Yes, the party has seen temporary successes (like its share went up to 17 per cent in Bengal in the 2014 Lok Sabha election) but the latest opinion polls have predicted little hope for the party except in the state like Assam. It even lost the state of Bihar, another key state in eastern India, last November.
Numbers in Rajya Sabha
But more than geographical, the East and South have an arithmetical significance for the BJP. The party although has a brute majority in the Lok Sabha, it has a weak position in the Upper House or the Rajya Sabha.
And this is where the state elections become extremely important. The state legislatures elect representatives to the Upper House where the BJP-led NDA's inadequate numbers have put up an obstacle before Modi's economic reforms. In fact, the shortage of numbers has become a big concern for the Modi government for it knows how fast time and patience are running out.
BJP alliance has just 64 seats in 245-member Rajya Sabha
The BJP and its allies have just 64 seats in the 245-member Rajya Sabha while the Congress-led UPA has 71 seats. The remaining 110 seats are occupied by various regional parties that are not alligned with any of the alliances led by the two national parties.
The ruling parties in the states that are going to polls this summer, namely, the AIADMK (of Tamil Nadu) and Trinamool Congress (of West Bengal) have 12 seats each in the Rajya Sabha. The BJP leadership, hence, is not in favour of annoying these parties much, no matter what happens on the ground and what it says on the face of it in election campaign rallies. The aim is just to get as close to 123 (halfway mark in the Rajya Sabha) as possible.

Tourism Holdings is buying US campervan rental and sales business El Monte Rents to expand its operations in the world's largest recreational vehicle market.
The $US65.3 million acquisition, for an enterprise value of $93.5 million including transaction costs, will be funded through $82.2 million of debt from its existing lenders and through the issue of 3.4 million Tourism Holdings shares.
Tourism Holdings will also invest $US6m in North American road travel app Roadtrippers USA, which will acquire its existing Geozone travel app business, and expand its online Mighway rental platform in the US in the first quarter of calendar 2017.
For Tourism Holdings, the acquisition of El Monte will elevate it to the second-largest RV rental operator in North America behind rival Cruise America without increasing overall fleet numbers which could dent prices.
El Monte allows Tourism Holdings to develop a broad-based RV rental and sales business in the US, similar to its New Zealand business, and its mix of international and domestic customers and older fleet is complementary to Tourism Holdings' smaller and more premium Road Bear operation in the US.
"This is a much lower risk strategy than trying to grow to an equivalent market share from the Road Bear platform," said Tourism Holdings chief executive Grant Webster.
Tourism Holdings estimates it will have a 28 per cent share of the RV rental fleet market after the purchase, compared with Cruise America's 52 per cent.
Tourism Holdings said the purchase of El Monte means it is well positioned as the global leader in RV rentals, as it reorientates further towards the northern hemisphere.
"We are making the right steps to be truly global in our platform," Tourism Holdings chair Rob Campbell said. "We still see opportunities in other operating markets, such as Europe, at the right time."
The purchase of El Monte is due to settle on January 6, and Tourism Holdings said the business will post a loss during the first six months, primarily due to the low season.
It will release its first-half earnings in late February, and expects net profit to rise to $11.1m from $8.2m in the year earlier period, ahead of its October forecast for $9.5m.
For the full year, Tourism Holdings expects to post a profit of $27m, down from its earlier forecast for profit of $27.5m-$28.5m, which reflects the impact of the transactions. It has set a goal for annual profit to reach $50m in 2020.
