Background: Pulmonary function testing is an integral part of evaluating patients who are being considered for cardiac transplantation. The accurate measurement of diffusing capacity (Dlco) and alveolar volume (VA) is dependent on a 10-s breath-holding maneuver that may be difficult for patients with congestive heart failure to perform. The intrabreath (IB) technique is not dependent on a breath-holding maneuver and may provide more accurate pulmonary function testing results in chronically debilitated patients.
Methods: Seventy-five patients performed maneuvers with IB and single-breath (SB) techniques during evaluation for heart transplantation and at 3 and 12 months following transplantation. The Dlco, VA, and total lung capacity (TLC) were compared using Pearson correlation coefficients, a Student t test, and intercorrelation coefficients.
Results: The Dlco and VA, when determined with the IB technique, had excellent correlations to the SB technique over all ranges of Dlco values. VA values that were determined by the IB technique were greater than those determined by the SB technique and more closely approximated the TLC values. The satisfactory correlation between the two techniques was maintained when Dlco was corrected for VA. However, due to the lower values for VA as determined by the SB method, the corrected measurements were consistently higher for the SB technique.
Conclusion: Pulmonary function can be measured accurately in a population of patients with long-standing congestive heart failure, both before and after cardiac transplantation, using the IB technique. Furthermore, the IB technique may provide a more accurate measurement of VA.

Self Conclusion
The Box.
The person you were, That look in your eye
That beat in your heart, Thought I'd never cry
So I handed you that box, filled to the brim
The pieces of me, everything I was, pushed up on the lid
You kept it safe, promised it all
With a sharp push you watched me fall.
As the ground dissappeared from beneath
I reached, and I grasped for the box at your feet.
A loud crash was heard as I quickly fell
My heart, and the box smashed, the first broken spell.
From the bottom I watched myself fall apart
The box mangled me, who I'd been at the start.
Your feet kicked away shattered pieces of me
There was not one piece that you wanted to see.
You stepped away, and said "I'm sorry"
I'm lifeless at the bottom, End of story.

: to assail by words or arguments : oppose or attack as false or lacking integrity
The group has launched a series of negative campaign ads impugning the character of leading candidate.
"It is true that the more ammunition the defense has to impugn the general believability of the complainant, the more difficult the prosecution's job." -- From an article by Jeanne M. Hauch in The Washington Times, July 22, 2011
Did You Know?
When you impugn, you hazard repugnant pugnacity. More simply put, you risk insulting someone to the point where he or she wants to sock you. The belligerent implications of "impugn" are to be expected in a word that derives from the Latin verb "pugnare," which means "to fight." In its earliest known English uses in the 1300s, "impugn" could refer to a physical attack (as in, "the troops impugned the city") as well as to figurative assaults involving verbal contradiction or dispute. Over time, though, the sense of physical battling has become obsolete and the "calling into question" sense has predominated. As you might expect, "pugnare" also gave English other fighting words, including "repugnant" and "pugnacity."

The UNCW men's basketball team will play its first two Colonial Athletic Association (CAA) games at home for the first time in 14 seasons and battle James Madison in a nationally televised game on the NBC Sports Network (NBCSN) in mid-February.
The CAA office released the 2015-16 slate early Monday and the 18-game league schedule will have all 10 CAA teams facing each other at home and on the road. This year's docket has the men playing on Thursday and Saturday.
The Seahawks, 18-14 overall and 12-6 in the CAA last season, are coming off one of the top turnaround seasons in the NCAA Division I ranks. Second-year Head Coach Kevin Keatts and his staff steered the team to a four-way share of first place in league play and advanced to the postseason for the first time since 2006.
"I'm excited about the conference schedule being released," said Keatts, the 2015 CAA Coach of the Year. "There are no advantages and no disadvantages to it. We just know that we'll be going up against some very good CAA competition and we're excited about showing everybody what we can do."
The CAA schedule opens for the Seahawks on New Year's Eve when the Seahawks ring in 2016 with a matchup against Drexel. UNCW then takes on Northeastern on Saturday, Jan. 2, in the second of two straight home games to christen the new season. The last time UNCW played two home games to kick off the CAA schedule came during the program's third championship season in 2002-03.
"I like the fact that we'll be playing our first two games at home," Keatts added. "Our students may not be here, but I know the community will be behind us. Anytime you play home games, and especially in this conference, it's important. We have a very challenging schedule with so many new faces."
Following the tip-off with the Huskies, the Seahawks hit the road for three straight road dates at Towson, Delaware and Elon. UNCW then returns home to entertain William & Mary and Delaware before leaving again for Drexel and James Madison.
UNCW and regional rival College of Charleston play the first of two games on Saturday, Jan. 30, before the Seahawks travel to Hofstra and Northeastern.
UNCW has a favorable home schedule down the stretch, playing four of their final six conference games at Trask Coliseum. The Seahawks entertains Elon (Feb. 11) and James Madison (Feb. 13) and wraps up the regular season with home games against Hofstra (Feb. 25) and Towson (Feb. 25). Sandwiched in between is a pair of away trips to William & Mary and Charleston.
The NBCSN matchup with JMU on Saturday, Feb. 13, represents UNCW's regular season debut on the network. NBCSN will provide national television coverage of CAA basketball for the fourth consecutive year. The network, which is available in nearly 85 million homes, will air six regular-season contests along with the semifinals and finals of the CAA Men's Basketball Championship. All NBCSN games are also available online through NBC Sports Live Extra.
The non-conference schedule for the Seahawks, along with game times for all of the games, will be released in the coming weeks.

Stereolithography (SLA)Starting from a 3D image, a part is built slice by slice from bottom to top in a vessel of liquid polymer that hardens when struck by a laser beam.For Mastars, it started in 1998 with the RP technology stereolithography. Stereolithography is now one of the most widely used rapid prototyping techniques for plastic models.Starting from your STL file, the required supports for overhangs and cavities are automatically generated in the model under construction. The support and model files are then "cut" into thin horizontal slices and programmed into the stereolithography 3-D Printing machine.This machine then uses a computer-controlled laser to draw the bottom cross section onto the surface of a liquid polymer that hardens where struck by the laser. The part is then lowered to a depth corresponding to the section's thickness and the next cross section is then drawn directly on top of the previous one. This is repeated until the part is finished. The supports are removed manually after the product is taken from the stereolithography machine.TolerancesSLA and SLS models typically have layer thicknesses of + .3mm with a lateral deviation of + .1mm. Better tolerances than this can easily be achieved with post machining per customer requirements. Please see here for more information on the tolerance guide for plastic materials.

Behavior: Contextual Data Supplement to the 1976-1987 National Survey
of Children
The data set, Antecedents of Sexual Attitudes and Behavior: Contextual Data Supplement to the 1976-1987 National Survey of Children, was created to examine the contextual predictors of adolescent sexual intercourse and teen attitudes about sex. Data from the 1976 and 1987 National Survey of Children (NSC) and other sources were assembled to assess neighborhood- and state-level demographic, economic, social, cultural and policy factors that influence adolescent sexual behavior. Zip code-level data were obtained from the NSC and the 1980 U.S. Census. State-level data were obtained from a variety of sources, including, the U.S. Census, State and Metropolitan Area Data Book, the Handbook of Labor Statistics, the National Center for Health Statistics, and the Alan Guttmacher Institute. Contextual variables included in this data set span the following categories: population; family structure; income and poverty; labor force participation; education; religion; marriage and divorce; voting behavior; substance use and crime; housing; teen deaths; women's status; birth rates, pregnancy, and abortion rates; neighborhood quality; and mobility. This data set contains information on 842 variables for 1,194 respondents.

Shani K. Collins: Without Regard to Age, Income or Education Level, Domestic Violence Can Happen to ANYONE
By Shani K. Collins
Domestic violence is a serious matter. It has existed for years, but often goes unaddressed because of the immense stigma, fear, and shame surrounding the issue. The National Coalition Against Domestic Violence (2007) defines it as the "willful intimidation, physical assault, battery, sexual assault, and/or other abusive behavior perpetrated by an intimate partner against another." The Coalition reports: "it is an epidemic affecting individuals in every community, regardless of age, economic status, race, religion, nationality or educational background. This violence against women is often accompanied by emotionally abusive and controlling behavior, and thus is part of a systematic pattern of dominance and control. Domestic violence results in physical injury, psychological trauma, and sometimes death. The consequences of domestic violence can cross generations and truly last a lifetime."
Recently, I attended a sorority function, and heard the powerful testimony of a very attractive, middle-aged, upper-middle class African-American woman who was a victim of domestic abuse while married. After sharing her story of leaving her husband, and a $300,000 mansion, she said: "Sisters, don't think that because we are college-educated women that domestic violence can't happen to us–it can." She was absolutely right. Domestic violence is often thought to occur among women who are under-educated and from low-income backgrounds; however, this is not entirely true. In fact, 1 in every 4 women will experience domestic violence in her lifetime; 85% percent of domestic violence victims are women; and women between the ages of 20-24 are at greatest risk of non-fatal intimate partner violence. Unfortunately, most instances of domestic violence are never reported to the police (NCADV, 2007). Factors such as fear, embarrassment, and religious beliefs about dating/marriage may prevent a woman from reporting violence, but not taking action to stop domestic violence is never the best option.
Time after time, we are sadly reminded of the victims of domestic violence—women whose bodies were maimed by things like rape, and alcohol, acid, cigarette and gasoline burns, or by gunshots and physical assaults. More frequently than not, we are reminded of the many women whose lives were taken away too soon. Latasha Norman is one such example. A native of Greenville, MS, Latasha was described as a beautiful, bright, energetic, fun-loving, spirit-filled, family-oriented young woman. However, during her junior year Jackson State University, the 20 year-old accounting major was murdered by her ex-boyfriend, Stanley Cole. After an intensive search, her badly decomposed body was discovered in a wooded area near historic Tougaloo College. Was Latasha's life not worth more? Certainly, it was.
There are many Latasha Normans walking around on college campuses each day. They are college-educated women who are involved with men who may be physically, verbally, sexually, and emotionally abusive. There are many female college students who know they are involved a very bad relationship, but feel powerless to change their circumstances. In fact, the cycle of domestic violence is like being trapped in a revolving door: it is hard to get escape. The cycle begins with: abuse: the abusive partner lashes out with aggressive, belittling, or violent behavior; guilt: after the abuse, the victimizer feels guilt, but not over what he's done; excuses: the abuser rationalizes what he has done; normal behavior: the abuser does everything he can to regain control and keep the victim in the relationship. He may act as if nothing has happened, or he may turn on the charm; fantasy and planning: the abuser begins to fantasize about abusing again; he spends a lot of time thinking about what the victim has done wrong and how he'll make her pay; and the set-up: the abuser sets the victim up, and puts his plan in motion, creating a situation where he can justify abusing her (Help Guide, 2012). This cycle goes on and on.
As humans, it is important for us to safeguard one another, and to look for the signs of domestic violence among our female relatives, friends, and family members, especially among college-aged women who are at highest risk of abuse. The signs are not always visible, but they are there. The key signs of a dysfunctional intimate partner relationship include: intimidation, which involves the victimizer making a victim afraid with looks. It continues with emotional abuse: putting the woman down; and isolation: controlling what she does. After that, the minimizing/blaming cycle starts: this involves the victimizer blaming the woman for the abuse, or saying she caused it. This phase is followed by using her children to relay messages or threatening to take them away. Other signs of domestic violence include: economic abuse—taking away a woman's money; using male privilege—the victimizer treats the victim like a servant; and threats—the victimizer threatens her, threatens to leave her or commit suicide if she leaves the relationship (Help Guide, 2012). The cycle of violence continues on and on until it reaches a breaking point. Usually, the breaking point is defined by serious injuries to the woman, or death as a result of violence.
Domestic violence is a serious problem among women, particularly college-aged women. Being silent about domestic violence is not helpful. The best way to prevent it is to take immediate action to eliminate the abuse. This includes removing oneself from a harmful relationship. Also, prevention starts with being informed of the issue, and to knowing how to and when to reach out for help. If you or someone you know is involved in a domestically violent relationship, please reach out for help by calling your local police headquarters, and by going to a domestic violence shelter for safety. You may also seek anonymous and confidential support by calling: 1.800.799.SAFE (7233).
In closing, we are all human beings, created to fulfill a larger purpose on this earth. Domestic violence robs us of our purpose; thus, it serves no purpose at all. For more information on domestic violence, please visit the National Coalition Against Domestic Violence at: www.nacdv.org.

Hand-coloured engraving, showing an itinerant showman carrying his peepshow. It is taken from the 1711 edition of the 'Cries of London'. This image is believed to represent Old Harry, a 17th century showman who, with his trained hedgehog, was seen throughout London's streets with his show.
A peepshow is a closed, or partially closed box with one or more viewing holes. Interchangeable images are placed within the box for viewing. There were basically two types of peepshow boxes produced. Horizontal boxes had their viewing holes at one end, and relied on the lens of the viewer and depth of the box to create perspective. Vertical boxes (boite d'optiques) also used the lens of the viewer, but in combination with an angled mirror to redirect the gaze, or to create an illusion.
Peepshows have their origin in the study of perspective during the 15th and 16th centuries. Whilst originally the preserve of the educated, scientists and artists, by the 18th century peepshows had become a feature of popular street entertainment. Itinerant showmen travelled the towns and fairs, attracting people by the use of their voices, musical instruments and sometimes an accompanist. The mysterious and magical peepshow was but part of the total show which relied strongly on the showman's story telling abilities. The showman would also at times create movement by manipulating the images within by use of strings and hooks. Some types of images allowed the viewer to see the picture as by day, and then as by night through the use of back-lighting, provided by the sun or a candle. Popular themes for the peepshows included foreign countries, historical events and nature. Small, domestic versions of the peepshow were also produced. During the 19th century peepshows were also sold as souvenirs. These could be as diverse as alabaster peep eggs, to sheets of paper pasted together to form a concertina shaped perspective view of a scene. Peepshows were popular in many parts of the world and went under several different names: in England and the U.S.A., peepshow; in France, boite d'optique; in Italy, mondo nuovo, in Holland, optiques; in Germany, guckkasten. They were also popular in China and Japan.
This engraving is part of the Francis Collection of pre-cinematic apparatus and ephemera, acquired by the Australian and Victorian Governments in 1975. David Francis was the curator of the National Film and Sound Archive of the British Film Institute as well as being a co-founder of the Museum of the Moving Image in London, which was operational between 1988 and 1999.

Second try on solo Die Rise proved to be more fortuitous but still didn't end ideally.
Worked my way towards having the following by round 16
AN-94 Pack a Punched
PDW Pack a punched
Ray Gun pack a punched
Monkey grenades
trample steam
All 6 perks (knife/trample fling/punch only on the jumper round to get a free perk)
Quick revive and Who's who are pretty much your key to success on this map. I revived myself with who's who twice before I ever even needed to get a second bottle of quick revive (which I never managed to get anyway.
Got stuck in a tight corner on round 27 zombies coming at me from both side decide to start blasting away but the combo of hits and splash damage took me down. Cleared most of the chain with the mustang and sally as I was getting revived so I assumed the round was over other than the crawler I left. My mistake because as I was running up the ramp to go get quick revive again, a zombie shows up, I turn around, there's two more right behind me. Instead of throwing a monkey I thought it was a good idea to put a claymore down. Wasn't a good idea. Game ended on round 27 because of the final fringe runners.
Some hints that I've picked up through my 10-15 or so games
-Memorize the map. It may seem big, but once you get the routes down and you remember which elevator shafts take you where, you realize there aren't many different routes to take and it's not so hard to go back and get what you need
-Free Juggernog. Well...actually persistent juggernog. It's not permanent but it sticks around for a while. It's just weaker than actual juggernog but it's very useful on a map like this. instead of two hits to go down, I believe it's 3 hits to get a red warning screen, or maybe it's just 3 hits to go down, either way, just to be safe, only allow yourself to be hit twice. To get it, you start up a solo game and die before you even kill one zombie. Sounds lame but I found it on accident, wasn't paying attention, game over, but before I died, I saw the trademark green glow burst.
I may have that wrong though, the youtube video I just watched says you need to be hit 6 times and then go down without getting one kill. Maybe the youtube vid has it wrong though.
Free deadshot-Makes your headshots stronger. I think what you need to do is manage to get 2 headshots with one bullet. Basically the easiest way to do this is to just keep spraying into a swarm while aiming at the head.
Free quick revive-This can carry over from Tranzit but basically 14-17 revives in one game. If it was me, I'd do it in Tranzit.
Yeah that's all I got for now. Going for 35 next time.

Overfeeding a baby often causes the baby discomfort because he or she can't digest all of the breast milk or formula properly. When fed too much, a baby may also swallow
air, which can produce gas, increase discomfort in the belly, and lead to
crying. An overfed baby also may spit up more than usual and have loose stools. Although
crying from discomfort is not
colic, it can make crying more frequent and more
intense in an already colicky baby.
Babies give cues during feeding that indicate how hungry they are.
Pay attention to these cues to help determine when your baby has had enough to
The amount of food each baby needs varies. Young babies usually
do not take more breast milk or formula than they need. In general, your baby
should seem healthy and happy and have good muscle tone, healthy skin, and good

An agent must be a natural person who has attained 18 years of age. A person is ineligible to be an agent if they have been convicted of an offence prescribed by section 130G(3).
For information about what agents must do and what they may do, visit our Obligations of an agent page.
Who needs an agent?
All registered political parties must appoint an agent. If all members of a group have been endorsed by a registered political party, the party's agent is the group's agent.
A candidate, Member of Parliament, group of unendorsed candidates, or third party may appoint an agent.
If a candidate or Member of Parliament does not appoint an agent, they are their own agent.
If a group of unendorsed candidates does not appoint an agent, then the candidate whose name appears first on the ballot papers is the agent for the group.
If a third party does not appoint an agent, and the third party is a natural person, then they are the agent. In any other case, each member of the executive committee is the agent.
How to appoint an agent
The agent must be appointed in writing by the person or body. The appointment must include the name and address of the proposed agent and a signed form of consent and declaration by the proposed agent that they
are eligible for appointment. The Electoral Commissioner will provide agent appointment forms.
Terminating an agent's appointment
A registered political party may only revoke an agent's appointment if they also give a notice of appointment of another agent.
A candidate, group or third party may revoke an agent's appointment by giving the Electoral Commissioner notice in writing.
An agent may resign from their appointment as an agent by giving the Electoral Commissioner notice in writing. The appointing person or body must, without delay, advise the Electoral Commissioner in writing of an agent's resignation. In the case of a registered political party, they must also provide a notice of appointment of another agent.
An agent's appointment is terminated if, subject to the appeal process, the agent is convicted of a prescribed offence. If the person is the agent of a registered political party, the party must give notice to the Electoral Commissioner of the replacement agent within 28 days of the conviction, subject to any appeal.
If an agent dies then the appointing person or body must advise the Electoral Commissioner in writing within 28 days. In the case of a registered political party, they must also provide a notice of appointment of another agent.
For more information, see section 130I of the Electoral Act 1985.
Forms to give notice of revocation of an agent's appointment, or the resignation, conviction or death of an agent, will be provided by the Electoral Commissioner.

Do you truly understand your leadership capability and culpability to know how your hiring trends and how your leadership style impacts your team? To illustrate what I'm talking about, we simply need to look at Willy Wonka, Gru and Olivia Pope and their teams to see how teams are built with leadership trends and leadership styles.
No one will be celebrating this, but 2016 marks the hundredth birthday of one of the most vicious show business gossip magazines ever published, edited by a Canadian named Stephen G. Clow. On his death, the US newspaper columnist Westbook Pegler called him "the originator of Saloon journalism." His colourful life can be used as a direct origin for the modern state of tabloid and celebrity journalism. So why don't more people know his story?
Planned Parenthood supports abortion, yes, but this is not newly divisive. So, what could it be? Why specifically now would Planned Parenthood donations diminish? This a question they would rather let fade into obscurity -- A group calling themselves the Center for Medical Progress began releasing an investigative sting operation into the practices of Planned Parenthood south of the border. Two actors posing as buyers of organs for research purposes got undercover video allegedly showing that Planned Parenthood in the USA engages in the sale of fetal hearts, livers, kidneys and heads ("calvarium") for profit.
Nigel Wright didn't have a personal obligation to pay Duffy's debts, as he proclaimed. His personal obligation was to serve Canada and to maintain the integrity of its political institutions. We should be repelled by any notion that we should admire -- and excuse -- an incredibly rich individual who goes into public service and then uses his private financial resources to make political problems (and possibly crimes) disappear.
Don Meredith's fall from grace is seen as a collective one, because there are a lot of black people who see his presence in the Senate as a collective achievement; he's seen as "one of us who made it to the top." We are so eager to see black faces in positions of power that we get caught up in the "excitement" of seeing someone who looks like us on the political stage, and we fail to pull back the curtain.
Last week, FIFA took centre stage in the world media for all the wrong reasons. This week, the beautiful game will rely on its most beautiful players to re-focus attention on the sport itself. That means eyes of the soccer world will be on Canada for the entirety of the 2015 Women's World Cup, which starts on June 6 with a pair of matches in Edmonton and culminates on July 5 in Vancouver.
Tales of government waste make for excellent news headlines. Bev Oda's infamous $16 orange juice probably got more media attention than the $45 billion F35 procurement debacle. Part of the reason is that people understand the value and cost of orange juice. Rather than focusing on waste, analysts and the media should instead focus on getting more value for money from governments. We need to pay less attention to tens of dollars and more attention to billions.
Soccer, cricket, NBA and other sports followed by millions of fans around the world are, today, subject to ongoing revelations concerning corruption, match-fixing and other fraudulent types of sports betting. On the eve of the soccer World Cup in Brazil, we learned that at least five games for the preparation of previous World Cups had been manipulated. Often seen as just associated with wealthy teams and organized crime but does this influx risk jeopardizing the long-term existence of sport?
James Franco recently came under fire for allegedly flirting with a 17-year-old Scottish girl, via Instagram. "I'm embarrassed, and I guess I'm just a model of how social media is tricky," explained Franco."It's a way people meet each other today, but what I've learned...you don't know who's on the other end." Except that in this case, Franco knew exactly who was on the other end. The girl readily admits to being only 17.
So somebody's taped you. Doing something. Say, smoking crack cocaine. Maybe having sex. Maybe having sex while smoking crack cocaine. Regardless, the tape in question was for your eyes only, and now here it is, hanging out in public, without any permission from you. What do you do? What can you do? Well, you can learn from the leaked tapes of celebrities past.
The daily, international circus that Rob Ford is circumventing so disastrously right now demonstrates why it's so important to have a Crisis Communications Plan and stick to it. In every crisis there is an opportunity to learn and to grow and to become stronger. Here's hoping that this week is a little quieter for Ford.

from Professor Dr. Heinrich Schmutterer
Professor Dr. Heinrich Schmutterer, Wettenberg, Germany, world renowned scientist, entomologist, Neem expert and researcher, author of the book "The Neem Tree", he is called "Father of Modern Neem," formerly with the Institute of Phytopathology & Applied Zoology, Justus-Liebig University, Giessen, Germany, now retired, contributor to the book "Neem: A Tree For Solving Global Problems." – His biography you can see here –
Klaus Ferlow, a well-known and highly respected master herbologist from Canada, has recently published a very remarkable new book, entitled "Neem – Natures' Healing Gift to Humanity". It is a true mine of valuable information about this unique plant, especially on the medical properties of the tree's ingredients. A lot of interesting old and new knowledge of Neem has been compiled in a attractive form, allowing it easy and effective utilization. K. Ferlow became a fan of Neem since the extracts of this outstanding tree had cured himself from severe psoriasis. Hopefully, this attractive new book will find a wide distribution and at the same time facilitate the use of Neem to the benefit of mankind.
from Dr. Ramesh C. Saxena
Dr. Ramesh C. Saxena, world renowned scientist, entomologist, Neem expert and researcher, Chairman of the Neem Foundation, Bombay (Mumbai), India – Information about Dr. Ramesh C. Saxena check here –
The recently published book "Neem: Nature's Healing Gift to Humanity", authored by Klaus Ferlow of Canada, is a milestone in itself and splendid account of the miraculous healing properties of the Neem tree. Azadirachta indica A. Juss (Meliaceae), for the benefit of humankind.
His book is an excellent succession to an earlier publication "Neem – A Tree for Solving Global Problems" (National Academy Press, Washington, DC, 1992).
Since ancient times, Neem has been used in India for relieving sickness and its medicinal uses are well documented in Ayurveda. Every part of the tree has some medicinal uses. Mr. Ferlow's personal experience in treating his own chronic skin rash and psoriasis problem with Neem is an excellent example confirming Neem's potential for healthier living. The very name of the Neem tree, "Nimba" in Sanskrit language, denotes its medicinal properties and is synonymous with "Arishtha", meaning the reliever of sickness. "Pichumarda." another name of Neem in Sanskrit means the destroyer of leprosy and healer of skin infections. Mr. Ferlow's book will stimulate further research across the globe to explore Neem's potential for providing affordable and lasting solutions to challenging human health problems. I am sure this book will be widely read all over the world.
from Professor Dr. Vaidya Suresh Chaturvedi
Professor Dr. Vaidya Suresh Chaturvedi, Bombay (Mumbai), India, world renowned Ayurveda doctor, Neem expert and researcher, writer, lecturer, author of over 25 books, received in 2000 from the Government of India one of the highest civilian awards "PADMASHRI. -Information about Dr. Vaidya Suresh Chaturvedi check here –
Mr. Klaus Ferlow's book " Neem – Nature´s healing gift to humanity" is a unique and excellent book for herbal scientists, environmentalist and for all those who are interested in nature, Ayurveda and traditional medicine.This book deals with the power of herbs as well as various trails on herbs. This book also highlights the importance of health values of neem along with its cosmetic and scientific details and its multiple
usages commercially.
I can say that the author has tried to cover various facets of this great plant "Neem" in his book for the benefit of science as well as the society.
from Dr. Neem Hakim
Dr. Neem Hakim, PhD, Dhaka, Bangladesh, Permaculturist, Permatherapist, Herbalist, Neemologist, Chairman Bangladesh Neem Foundation & Neem Organic Ltd, Member, Global Neem Action Group (GNAG)
The book NEEM-Nature's Healing Gift to Humanity by KLAUS FERLOW is not only a treasure of popular knowledge on Neem but also covers technical and scientific evidence. No doubt this effort will help researchers, development catalysts, Neem lovers and activist a lot. The writer's long time contribution and personal experience on Neem as Master Herbalist is an added advantage of the recognition of Neem's healing property by the global community.
from Robert Verkerk
Robert Verkerk, PhD, Surrey, United Kingdom, Founder Alliance for Natural Health International
In a world in which ever larger numbers of people are recognizing the limitations of new-to-nature, highly targeted pharmaceuticals, multi-target botanicals are increasingly embraced. But even in nature's treasure trove, Neem has few rivals. I struggle to think of anyone better qualified than Klaus Ferlow to present the case for Neem as a botanical panacea for today's health challenges.
from Vicki Parsons
Vicki Parsons, Neem Tree Farms, Brandon, Florida, USA.
The first comprehensive book on Neem in nearly 20 years covers the latest research from a personal perspective by an author who has been formulating Neem products since 1994. A fabulous resource for anyone thinking about trying or growing Neem including an outstanding list of international growers and manufacturers.

Ask a Lawyer and Get Answers to Your Legal Questions
Thank you for your question. Please permit to respond and assist you with your concerns.
This is a situation where I am forced to provide unwelcome news, so kindly do not blame the proverbial messenger. A this time state and federal law do not see a poor credit report as 'injury'. Since a lowering of the report is not 'injury', there is no injury to sue or based on the error of the bank. I agree that this is a loss of opportunity and additional expenses, but unless you can either prove that this was done with intent and malice (so as to create a claim for intentional interference with your business interests), or it was negligent to the level of criminal neglect, there is simply not enough to file. The logic of the current law (which I personally disagree with) is since the creditors are free to voluntarily disregard your credit rating and still choose to enter into a contract, the report is only one voluntary factor that is not mandatory to transactions, and it is therefore possible to potentially convince the creditors to set aside the terms. In real life that is not usually the case, but this is a situation where the law did not yet catch up to reality.
I am sorry.
Thanks for your response, even though unhappy. While I understand it is not your fault, I am about to loose not only the $1000 deposit, but out the expense of $ 450 in fee's paid & now I have to find another place to live. Is the reckless actions of someone at US Bank not responsible ? I fully don't understand and appreciate your comments.
For it to be 'reckless' you have to show that they had no standards in place about false or incorrect reporting, or in case of malice, that the targeted you intentionally. If the error was not intentional, and the error was likewise not caused by a systemic breakdown, it is likely not reckless. It is still negligent, but negligent has a bit of an informal scale that denotes serious violations--while this is serious, it is likely not to the point that it was criminal and would therefore not create a potential cause of action.
I am sorry!

Skulls trojan targets Symbian smartphones
A new trojan on the internet attacks the Nokia 7610 smartphone and possibly other phones running Symbian Series 60 software.
This Article Covers
Risk management
A new trojan on the internet attacks the Nokia 7610 smartphone and possibly other phones running Symbian Series 60 software.
"We have located several freeware and shareware sites offering a program, called Extended Theme Manager, that contains a trojan," said Mikko Hyppönen, director of antivirus research at F-Secure. "The virus writer is going by the name Tee-222."
Jargon-buster guide to GDPR
The 10 most important things you need to know about GDPR, and a jargon-buster explanation for some of the key terminology.
By submitting your personal information, you agree that TechTarget and its partners may contact you regarding relevant content, products and special offers.
You also agree that your personal information may be transferred and processed in the United States, and that you have read and agree to the Terms of Use and the Privacy Policy.
The malicious code, called Skulls, deactivates all links to Symbian system applications, such as e-mail and calendar, replacing their menu icons with images of skulls. Hyppönen said that users of affected phones could only send or receive calls.
Hyppönen said Extended Theme Manager looked "pretty convincing" as a freeware maintenance tool and that many sites had not bothered to verify it or even try it out. Most monitored sites have since removed the program.
When installing the file "extended theme.sis", Symbian phone users are informed by the OS that the software is not Symbian Signed - a trusted program initiated by Symbian - and asked if they want to continue.
"This is definitely a good warning," said Hyppönen, "but the problem is that any advanced PC user who downloads software regularly sees this kind of warning 99% of the time and simply clicks OK."
One way to correct the problem, Hyppönen said, was a hard reset, which restores affected phones to their default factory setting. Unfortunately, all private data, such as phone books and calendars, is lost in the process.
Earlier this year, the Symbian OS was the target of the Cabir virus, which, like Skulls, transmits a .sis file. But unlike Cabir, which scans for accessible phones within Bluetooth range and makes a copy of itself, Skulls is not self-replicating.

Governor Sean Parnell today announced that the State of Alaska is officially submitting a plan for seismic exploration activities in the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge 1002 Area, pursuant to Section 1002(e) of the Alaska National Interest Lands Conservation Act (ANILCA).
"The 1002 Area of ANWR holds enormous promise for Alaska and for our nation," Governor Parnell said. "Federal law provides clear direction and mandates a number of actions that the Interior Secretary must take upon the submission of a 1002 Area exploration plan. We look forward to Interior Secretary Sally Jewell's prompt review and approval of this exploration plan."
On May 18, with support from North Slope Borough Mayor Charlotte Brower and Arctic Slope Regional Corporation President and Chief Executive Officer Rex Rock, the State of Alaska submitted a detailed 1002 Area exploration proposal and offered to help finance seismic studies in the 1002 Area. In late June, Interior Secretary Sally Jewell completely rejected the State's proposal and offer of funding support. Therefore, the State is submitting a formal exploration plan and special use permit application for the 1002 Area.
"ANILCA requires the Secretary to take formal action on this exploration plan," said Natural Resource Commissioner Dan Sullivan, noting that the U.S. Department of Interior approved 1002 Area exploration plans in the 1980s and that the law does not contain a sunset provision and therefore is still on the books.
"This 240-page, world-class document meets all the statutory and regulatory requirements for a 1002 Area exploration plan contained within the Code of Federal Regulations and in ANILCA. If an exploration plan meets all of these requirements, the Secretary is required by law to approve it."
The exploration plan and accompanying special permit application builds upon the detailed proposal the State submitted in May. The plan will take advantage of current technology, which will have significantly less environmental impacts than the exploration activities approved and conducted in the 1002 Area during the 1980s.
The 1002 Area is thought to be one of the most prolific regions for undiscovered oil in America. The State seeks to conduct low-impact, three-dimensional surveys across the 1002 Area from 2014 to 2017. This work will only be done during the winter, with very limited impact to tundra, fish and wildlife.
"I am renewing my pledge to seek support from the Alaska Legislature during its 2014 session to fund a 3-D seismic program for the 1002 Area," Governor Parnell said. "If this plan and permit application is promptly reviewed and approved as required by ANILCA, I will request a minimum of $50 million to execute this plan."

More Newtons: Origins Of Great Marvel Comics Heroes
Published mid-to-late 1975.
Contents: The Fantastic Four by Stan Lee & Jack Kirby (Fantastic Four #1)
The Coming Of The Hulk by Stan Lee & Jack Kirby (The Hulk #1)
The Coming Of The Avengers by Stan Lee, Jack Kirby & Dick Ayers (The Avengers #1)
The Origin Of Daredevil by Stan Lee & Bill Everett (Daredevil #1)
The Origin Of Captain America by Stan Lee, Jack Kirby & Syd Shores (Captain America #109)
Iron Man Is Born by Stan Lee, Larry Lieber & Don Heck (Tales Of Suspense #39)
The Mighty Avengers: Thor The Mighty by Stan Lee & Jack Kirby
The Mighty Avengers: Giant Man by Stan Lee & Don Heck
The Mighty Avengers: Captain America by Stan Lee & Jack Kirby
The Teen-Brigade by Stan Lee & Jack Kirby
The Origin Of Dr. Strange by Stan Lee & Steve Ditko (Strange Tales #115)
The 'Mighty Avengers' stories were one to two page origin stories that were lifted from the pages of various Avengers comics. The rest of the book was filled with origins of the mainstays of the Marvel universe and as they were short pieces probably wouldn't have fitted into their regular books (the Dr Strange title, as published by Newton, was at that time reprinting the Englehart/Brunner series, not the Lee/Ditko stories).
There is a rare variant copy of this comic in existence. Due to a production problem several issues were printed with a distinct blue and yellow hue. None of these issues were recalled though and several have made their way out onto the open market where they can be found today.

Thanks much! I have the original run of the series and refuse to part with it. Seeing the Newton version was very special. You'll have to tell us more about the history of this company.

Hi Daniel - Continuing to scroll through your site, when I came across your listing/index for 'Origins of Great Marvel Comic Heroes', which has caused me to doubt my already 'shaky' memory of these old Newton Comics titles from my childhood.
I do recall owning a Newton Comics title, with this same (or very similar) cover design showing the FF flying through space. But the version I recall had a very different two-tone/duotone colour, with lots of blue & purple shades, which lent the artwork a really strange appearance. I can't recall if the actual wording of the title was the same, though!
(I seem to recall it being labelled Newton Triple Action, or something along those lines - but like I say, don't get me to swear on a stack of bibles about this one!)
My other recollection of this comic was that it had a single page/b&w poster featuring Ka-zar, but it was pretty grisly - it was a shot of Ka-zar getting an arrow through his neck! (It would have to have been taken from one of Marvel Comics' 1970s b&w 'adult' magazines, and not their regular comic book editions)
Did Newton Comics use this same cover artwork with the FF on any of their other reprint titles? That would explain why the one I recall had a different colour scheme to the one seen on 'Origins of Great Marvel Comic Heroes'.
If anyone out there can shed any light on this, it might clear the matter up - or raise yet another Newton Comics mystery!

Kevin, your memory is correct. My copy of the Origins of Great Marvel Comic Heroes is indeed in a weird dark blue / dark purple colouring.
The printers must have run out of yellow/red/orange at some stage, not that anyone noticed and just kept the presses running.

Neil, these are not UK Oldham's reprints. You're getting confused with another comic line. Trust me, these all originated from Australia.
And a lot of the information on the Australian Reprint site was taken from this blog, in regards to Newton Comics.

Tropos: An Agent-Oriented Software Development Methodology

Our goal in this paper is to introduce and motivate a methodology, called Tropos,1 for building agent oriented software systems. Tropos is based on two key ideas. First, the notion of agent and all related mentalistic notions (for instance goals and plans) are used in all phases of software development, from early analysis down to the actual implementation. Second, Tropos covers also the very early phases of requirements analysis, thus allowing for a deeper understanding of the environment where the software must operate, and of the kind of interactions that should occur between software and human agents. The methodology is illustrated with the help of a case study. The Tropos language for conceptual modeling is formalized in a metamodel described with a set of UML class diagrams.

BRUSSELS: European Union (EU) Members of the Parliament (MEPs) on Thursday approved three candidates to head the newly established EU financial services watchdogs.
Steven J. Maijoor, of the Netherlands, was voted in with 530 votes to head the Securities and Markets Authority; Gabriel Bernardino, of Portugal, received 434 votes to head the Insurance and Occupational Pensions Authority; and Andrea Enria, of Italy, received 530 votes to head the Banking Authority.
MEPs gave a green light after having favorably assessed the written commitments received from the Commission and the Hungarian Presidency on guarantees regarding transparency, independence of staff selection procedures and budgets.
Following Wednesday's plenary debate, which saw the Council roundly criticized by many EP political groups, a written commitment was sent to MEPs that the Council was fully supportive of the Commission's declaration, which had itself already been deemed acceptable by MEPs.
After the 2008 financial crisis, the EU created the regional financial watchdogs to regulate and supervise banks, insurers, and markets throughout the area.

I bought an AudioStrider 600 Elliptical for my wife for Christmas this year. It was new in the box and I purchased it from a store locally. After I assembled it, there was a grinding noise and the machine locked up on the first use. I called NordicTrack and they said that the place I bought it from (still brand new in the box from NordicTrack) was technically the "Original purchaser" and therefore I was then the second purchaser and my warranty was void. Bear in mind this is only AFTER they determined that the replacement part I needed was over $400. I asked if I could speak to someone else and the customer care representative told me, "No. They will tell you the same thing." I would also like to add the that what they wanted to charge me (after telling me my warranty didn't count) for that one part was more then the cost of the entire machine itself.

While Miley Cyrus is busy touring overseas and freestyling about her DJ on private planes, there was some bad news on the home front for the "Wrecking Ball" star. According to the Los Angeles Police Department, Cyrus' North Hollywood home was hit by burglars on Friday.
CNN reported that thieves scaled a fence and reportedly broke into Miley's house and made off with some jewelry and other property, as well as Miley's $102,000 2014 Maserati Quattroporte. While no arrests had been made at press time, police said the suspects were a man and a woman. This is the second time in eight months that Miley's home has been targeted by thieves.
Cyrus hadn't directly reacted to the news at press time, but she did tweet about feeling homesick and sad.

With its versatility, reputation for reliability and value for the dollar, it's easy to see why the Acura MDX is a bestseller among 3-row luxury SUVs. Acura's flagship crossover SUV upped its game just a few years ago when it entered its third generation, offering impressive interior space and semi-autonomous driving features. Now, the 2017 MDX is significantly refreshed with new exterior styling, a host of safety and driving aids, and a forthcoming hybrid model. The MDX continues to employ a powerful V6 engine, but we found last year's move to a 9-speed gear-shifter not the smoothest compared to the transmissions in rivals like the Audi Q7, Volvo XC90 or Infiniti QX60. That issue aside, the Acura MDX offers even more to like for 2017.
A host of updates for the 2017 Acura MDX includes the standard AcuraWatch suite of safety and driver-assist technology, restyled exterior including a new grille, and luxurious 6-passenger seating in top-line MDX Advance trims. The Acura MDX Sport Hybrid is set to join the lineup later in the model year.
Acura has wasted no time in updating its best-selling SUV. The 2016 Acura MDX offers up a new 9-speed automatic transmission, a new all-wheel-drive system, and a new suite of active safety features known as AcuraWatch that includes camera-based Road Departure Mitigation, and the pedestrian-sensing collision mitigation and braking system.
Fresh from its 2014 redo, the 2015 Acura MDX luxury crossover SUV cruises into the new year with no major changes.
Now in its third generation, the Acura MDX is all-new for 2014.
There are no major changes for Acura's MDX for 2013.
There are no major changes for 2012.
There are no major changes for 2011.
The 2010 MDX see major changes in the area of design, power and technology. Acura's largest SUV sports a new front and rear end, a host of interior upgrades and a new Sequential SportShift six-speed automatic transmission. Improvements have been made to the rear suspension, as well as to the navigation and audio system. A new option this year is the Advance package, which offers a revised Active Damper System and larger 19-inch wheels.
he biggest change for 2009 is the availability of a power rear liftgate on models equipped with either the Technology or Sport packages.
In its second year of production, the redesigned MDX stays true to the formula that netted sales success in 2007---its 300-horsepower V6, performance-enhancing all-wheel-drive system and sharp sheetmetal continue to offer a sporting take on people-hauling.
While the all-new, second-generation MDX is even more family-friendly than its predecessor, a new 300-horsepower V6, performance-enhancing all-wheel-drive system and sharp sheetmetal team up to empower the SUV with newfound attitude and ability.

Many Facebook users are not satisfied with the social network, which could spell trouble for the 750-million strong company now that popular rival Google+ is on the scene.
According to the 2011 American Customer Satisfaction Index (ACSI), Facebook has an index of 66 - a rating that not only puts the company at the bottom of the rung in the report's social networking category but also makes it the lowest-scoring site of all measured companies.
The survey was conducted in June by ACSI in partnership with customer experience analytics firm ForeSee Results, before Google launched its Google+ service. Despite Google+ not featuring in the survey, ForeSee believes the social network could easily siphon off Facebook's disgruntled users.
"We don't know yet how Google+ will fare, but what we do know is that Google is one of the highest-scoring companies in the ACSI and Facebook is one of the lowest," said Larry Freed, president and CEO of ForeSee Results. "An existing dominance of market share like Facebook has is no longer a safety net for a company that is not providing a superior customer experience."
User-contributed online encyclopedia Wikipedia takes the top spot in ACSI's Social Media category with an index of 78. YouTube is second with 74.
Google is king when it comes to the Search Engine and Portals category, jumping up 4 percent from last year's rating to 83. Microsoft's Bing is not far behind (82) and has made impressive gains in consumer satisfaction, jumping up 7 percent since 2010.
"Anything over 80 is generally considered an excellent score," notes the American Customer Satisfaction Index.
Google+ has
reportedly hit 18 million users in just a few short weeks of launching.
"The viral growth of Google+ has slowed somewhat over the past few days," said self-proclaimed unofficial statistician and Ancestry.com founder Paul Allen, "but my new-and-improved 1,000 surname model shows that more than 750,000 people joined the site on Monday, bringing the total user base to just under 18 million."
In the first 24 hours of launching in Apple's App Store, Google's Google+ iPhone app shot to the top of the US-based free apps list ,and it continues its reign at the top.
While recent statistics from Experian Hitwise show that Google+ had around 1.8 million US-based visitors last week, rival social network Facebook had more than ten times that figure.
