Same Day Abortion Pill For 3 to 4.5 Weeks Gestation
The Best Early Abortion Option Performed on the Same Day Using Only One Medication No need to wait 24 to 96 hours.
Did you recently have one or more episodes of unprotected intercourse within the past month and think it may be too late to take Emergency Contraception or if your period is not late or it is less than a week late and you may think that you are pregnant? If the answer is yes, and you are thinking of purchasing the abortion pill (RU486, Mifeprex, and Mifepristone) which can be prohibitively expensive, you'll be relieved to know there is a less expensive, safe alternative. RU486 is an anti-progestin that causes sloughing and necrosis of the blood vessels in the uterus leading to increase pressure, and uterine contractions. Misoprostol is a prostaglandin that prevents ulcers from occurring in the stomach when patients take non-steroidal anti-inflammatories. Misoprostol alone has been shown to work by itself in terminating pregnancy. It is less expensive but highly effective for women who are less than 4 weeks gestation. You take two sets of the Misoprostol tablets on your first visit and there is almost 100% termination rate for patients who are 4.5 weeks or less pregnant. If found to be more than 4.5 weeks pregnant the medical abortion can still be carried out with a combination of Methotrexate and Misoprostol, or RU486 and Misoprostol. If 4.5 weeks or less and only Misoprostol is used, the cost of the procedure is $350.00.
Several people have called or e-mailed me regarding getting ready to go to another office to have the abortion performed and told me that they were going to have to pay for and use both the abortion pill and Misoprostol in order to have their abortion performed. They were not told nor were they aware if they were less than 4.5 weeks the abortion procedure can and is carried out with over 99% success in completing the abortion process.
Hundreds of patients have now undergone the procedure and have noted how effective and safe the procedure is. There is minimal bleeding and pain associated with the early medical abortion procedure due to how early the patients are in pregnancy.
The medications are easy to take and the instructions are easy to follow. Usually within 2 to 4 hours patients experience mild crams and bleeding with most saying the worst cramps were no longer than bad menstrual cramps.
Pros: You can safely abort up to a 4.5 week pregnancy in the privacy of your home with or without your significant partner or friend and without the expense of taking the abortion pill (RU 486, Mifeprex, or Mifepristone) which is more expensive. After the sonogram confirms patients are 4.5 weeks gestation, two sets of Misoprostol are given to the patient with the first set taken immediately and the second set is taken in 24 hours after the first set. There is no need to have to wait normally 48 to 72 hours to have to worry about starting another set of pills. One just returns to the office within a week to have a repeat sonogram to assure that all of the pregnancy tissue has passed. There is also a savings of $125.00 for being 4.5 weeks or less pregnant.
Cons: Misoprostol is a very safe drug and so is the abortion pill (RU486, Mifeprex, and Mifepristone). It is generally safer to take one medication than two medications. The single dose regimen (Misoprostol alone) works as effective as the combination (RU 486 and Misoprostol) for patients who are 4.5 weeks or less pregnant shown by several studies in the literature. Paying $350.00 for the abortion rather $475.00 is a tremendous savings.
Conclusion: We are happy to offer only in our Orlando offices the Misoprostol only Medical Abortions where the pills can be taken on the first day of the office visit and will cause the abortion to occur generally 4 to 8 hours after starting the medication. . There is no 48 to 72 hour waiting period between taking the first and second set of medications. The tablets are easy to swallow and cramps and passing of blood general starts within 3 to 4 hours after taking the first set of Misoprostol pills. Side effects include cramps, bleeding, nausea, vomiting, abdominal pain, low grade temperature, diarrhea, retained tissue, and pelvic infection, incomplete abortion, continued pregnancy (rare), and heavy bleeding requiring blood transfusion (rare). There is over 99% success rate with this method if 4.5 weeks or less.

Although he was appearing before the Senate inquiry into banking competition on Tuesday, poor old Australian Competition and Consumer Commission chairman Graeme Samuel couldn't escape the continuing controversy about his investment in the Direct Factory Outlet business that ran into trouble last year.
Samuel was not amused and hit back. "I'm not sure if it means I'd be tougher seeking retribution for harsh treatment by the banks, or adopting a softer approach with a hope and a prayer," he snapped. And while complaining about one's ballooning mortgage repayments has become somewhat of a dinner party staple of late, it certainly isn't a topic to be raised around Samuel.
After noting that "it's interesting that my own financial affairs are a matter of apparent interest", Samuel went on to complain that it wasn't the case for other ACCC commissioners such as

The province of P.E.I. and the Mi'kmaq Confederacy of P.E.I. (MCPEI) have announced an economic development agreement that will significantly advance participation of the First Nations in the Island economy, said Premier Robert Ghiz.
Ghiz, who is the minister responsible for aboriginal affairs, says access to economic development opportunities is made possible by having stable funding, qualified human resources and equity. He said the partnership will put the key ingredients for success in the hands of the P.E.I. First Nations.
The four-year partnership agreement includes a secondment of an official to MCPEI to serve as its economic development officer, annual economic development funding, an equity contribution for economic development initiatives and a strategically located portion of Crown land.
"We are pleased w ith this agreement and appreciate the province's partnership as the First Nations strive to advance their economic development opportunities and initiatives," said Brian Francis, chief of the Abegweit First Nation and co-chair of the MCPEI board of directors. "Economically vibrant First Nations make a vital contribution to the economic well-being of the province as a whole."
The agreement was also welcomed by Matilda Ramjattan, chief of the Lennox Island First Nation and co-chair of the MCPEI board.
"We are fully aware that developing our own source revenues is critical in our goal to attain self sufficiency and to return to the prosperity that the Mi'kmaq of P.E.I. once knew," said Ramjattan. "This agreement is an important step in that direction."
The P.E.I.-MCPEI Economic Development Agreement was signed during the third annual Provincial Cabinet-MCPEI Board of Directors Forum, which was held recently on the Lennox Island First Nation Reserve. This annual gathering provides an opportunity to address matters of mutual concern and share information, and highlights the effort to further the partnership between the government of Prince Edward Island and the P.E.I. First Nations.

So, despite my concerns, I managed to put together a solid Week 1 with my picks. I only missed on one game, underrating a talented Nyack team.
With every school in action this week, things are about to get real fun. Below are the fives games I picked for the shortened week.
Like my predictions? Hate my predictions? Want me to pick a certain game next week? Leave a comment or drop me a line on twitter @Lohud_DeFran. Make sure you use the hashtag #GOTW so I see it.
Overall record: 4-1
Somers at Panas, 4:30 p.m.
Pick: Somers, 3-1. Panas has put together a couple of nice wins this past week against local rivals Yorktown and Lakeland to get its season started. Still, the Tuskers represent an entirely different animal.
Clarkstown South at Tappan Zee, 4:15 p.m.
Pick: Clarkstown South, 3-1. Both teams had nice wins on Saturday to open their season up. I think the Vikings deep senior class puts them among the elite in the section.
North Rockland at Pearl River, 4:15 p.m.
Pick: North Rockland, 3-1. The Class A sectional champions are back in action for the first time in 2013, but there are plenty of piece missing from last season, specifically 2012 Journal News Rockland Player of the Year Marissa Scognamiglio. The Red Raiders seemed primed to make a deep push this year in Class AA.
Scarsdale at Briarcliff, 4:30 p.m.
Pick: Scarsdale, 2-1. Opposite ends of the spectrum for these two. The Bears are 2-0 and proud owners of the Mount Pleasant Cup while the Raiders got manhandled 4-0 at Clarkstown South. I think the Raiders will bounce back with a nice win against one of the top teams in Class B.
Mamaroneck at Horace Greeley, 4:30 p.m.
Pick: Mamaroneck, 3-2. Here we have two Westchester teams that suffered big losses against Rockland teams on Saturday, but should be potential contenders in Class AA. I'll give the edge to the Tigers after their heartbreaking loss to Tappan Zee.

Smokers are three times more likely to develop age-related macular degeneration (AMD), the leading cause of blindness in Australians over 40 years old.
The Optometrists Association Australia (Vic) have sent a message to smokers that quitting early reduces your risk of developing macular degeneration in the long term.
A report released earlier this year by the Centre for Eye Research Australia, revealed that the likelihood of smokers developing AMD is tripled when compared to people who have never smoked.
The report also highlighted that AMD costs the Federal Government more than $2.6 billion dollars every year, a figure expected to blow-out over the next twenty years as the population ages.
President of the Optometrists Association (Vic), Ms Paula Monaco, said "AMD is responsible for almost half of severe vision loss in Australia and smoking is the only modifiable risk factor for the disease.
"Treatment success for AMD is limited so prevention by reducing risk factors, like smoking, offers the best hope."
"Recent research shows that in the long term quitting smoking can reverse the risk levels for AMD close to pre-smoking levels."
Ms Monaco said that the risk of developing AMD also increased dramatically for a smoker who also has a family history of the disease.
Quit Victoria and The Optometrists Association Australia (Vic) have recently collaborated to launch a new quit smoking referral pad for optometrists. The referral pad is designed to assist optometrists in talking with patients about smoking and the damage it causes to the eyes.
Deputy Director of Quit Victoria, Ms Suzanne Stillman, said the collaboration was an important step in reducing the devastating harm to the community caused by cigarettes.
"Optometrists have a fundamental role to play when it comes to helping those that smoke to quit, given they see over a million Victorians every year."
"They have a unique opportunity to motivate smokers and change their behaviour by offering encouragement, advice and guidance related to effects of smoking and benefits of quitting.'
"There is too much needless blindness in Australia - smoking just adds to the problem," said Ms Stillman.

What are the most common complications seen with mommy makeover? Exactly how common is it to have complications from a mommy makeover?
Mommy Makeover Complications
Doctor Answers 28
What complications are possible with a Mommy Makeover?
Hi there-
As Dr. Aldea has stated, the complications possible would largely depend on the individual procedures in your mommy makeover, as some consist of breast lift with tummy tuck, while others are breast augmentation with liposuction, etc...
Having said that, I can tell you that the risks across all Mommy Makeover patients is very low ( I cannot remember the last time I had a patient experience a complication that required anything but a little time to resolve on it's own- and now I'm knocking on some wood...). If you are a healthy person and have a healthy diet and lifestyle, and you are good about following postoperative instructions, your risk should be low.
The best way to understand the risks particular to your situation would be to visit with a Board Certified Plastic Surgeon for a consultation. Here's a little help finding one you can trust:
In a previous entry, I described how common it is for patients who contact my Orlando plastic surgery center to make the mistake of thinking that:
Anyone offering a plastic surgery procedure MUST be appropriately trained and certified to perform that procedure; this is, unfortunately, not the case.
All plastic surgery training is equal, and so shopping for the best price is the best way to choose a surgeon
In that previous entry, I explained how not all people offering plastic surgery are Board Certified Plastic Surgeons, and in fact, many are not even plastic surgeons! There are now many doctors in other specialties offering to perform plastic surgery procedures without the benefit of the years of training a plastic surgeon receives, convincing their patients that a few weeks of training is sufficient for them to learn what we learn in YEARS.
I explained the potentially dangerous error of choosing based on price.
Finally, I explained how to properly choose not only a surgeon, but also the importance of choosing the facility in which the procedure will be performed and also the anesthesia provider.
For today's entry, we'll assume a healthy understanding of these issues. Having done your homework, and ascertained that the surgeons you are considering are all plastic surgeons Board Certified by The American Board of Plastic Surgery, the facilities in which they operate are all certified by the AAAASF or JCAHO, and the anesthesia providers are all well-qualified, how do you make the final decision?
Here are my recommendations:
Consider the relative quality of the surgeon's medical school educations. While it is true that most medical educations will cover the basics, there is a reason that some institutions grow international reputations and perpetually fight for the best students.
A medical school education among these "Best and Brightest" students and educators could reasonably be expected to produce (and historically has produced) America's finest doctors and surgeons. Ranking lists of medical schools take these things into consideration and are a useful resource. The most respected list, from US News and World Report, can be found here:
Find out where the surgeon completed his/her Plastic Surgery Residency. This is the critical and years long process of going from a medical student to a qualified plastic surgeon, where we learn to do plastic surgery by gradually taking on more responsibility under the watchful eyes of other, already trained and experienced surgeons. Just like medical schools, not all training programs are equal in the breadth, intensity and quality of training offered.
Generally speaking, those programs associated with the best medical schools also provide the best training, as they will be able to attract and retain the best, most experienced and reputable professors of plastic surgery- and the quality of our training will depend on the quality of those training us. For example, I completed my own Plastic Surgery training at Washington University in St. Louis, one of the top 5 medical schools in the United States- and it also happens to be the birthplace of American Plastic Surgery.
It bears repeating that you should be absolutely sure that the surgeon you are considering is Board Certified by The American Board of Plastic Surgery. This is easily done at the Board's site:
Know that surgeons who claim to be "Board Eligible" in plastic surgery are NOT board certified. This may be because they simply have not taken the examinations- but this is doubtfully the true explanation, as The American Board of Plastic Surgery specifically prohibits claiming ANY status with The Board until and unless you have passed all examinations. Much more likely is that they were unable to pass the examinations (or simply never took them), but realize they may lose patients if they don't find a way to fool them into thinking they have status with The Board. Are you starting so understand that not all doctors have integrity?
Spend some time thinking about the interactions you have had with the surgeon and his/her staff. You should realize that having a plastic surgery procedure is NOT a singular interaction, like buying a new handbag, in which once the bag is purchased (or the surgery completed) the interaction can be considered to be complete. Rather, you are choosing to enter into a very important relationship with your surgeon, the critical portions of which should be expected to last at least a few months beyond the date of your surgery, as you recover and heal. This very important relationship should therefore be approached with the same care you would give any other... think about whether you think the surgeon will be responsive to your needs and concerns, whether your personalities will allow healthy interaction, the approachability of his/her staff, etc...
Remember- you don't only want to have achieved a great outcome when all is said and done... you want to have had an uplifting and positive experience you can look back on and smile! You can have this in the best practices.
Finally, never forget that what you are really looking for is the very best OUTCOME you can achieve. Sometimes when I'm asked by friends and family how to sort through all the claims some surgeons make of being the best choice because they (the surgeon in question) were voted "the best" by some magazine, or because the surgeon simply says they are "the best", I am reminded of the first Clinton presidential campaign, in which the slogan "It's the economy, stupid" helped Mr. Clinton win the White House. Once you've done the homework outlined above, it's all about the OUTCOME...
Ask to see photos of the surgeon's previous work- and ask yourself if you would be pleased if you looked like the photos they show you. Think about how many good photos they show you. Do most of the outcomes just look funny, with only a few that you think are attractive and natural, or are all of their results pleasing and attractive, even if every one may not be what you specifically want? If the surgeon can't show you at least a few outcomes you find attractive and pleasing, you should look elsewhere.
Be sure to ask directly whether the photos you are being shown are the surgeon's own work (believe it or not, some actually do try to attract patients by showing them the work of others!)
I also always recommend communicating with a few of the surgeon's prior patients who have had the same procedure they are recommending for you. You can ask the surgeon's staff for a list of patients who may have agreed to be called, or find testimonials online at one of the many plastic surgery websites now available. My favorite, because it is objective, free (surgeons cannot pay to be listed higher, so more credibility exists), and allows you to get a feel for the surgeon's manner and personality, is RealSelf:
I know it seems like a huge amount of work, but after you've read this (as well as my prior post) a few times, you'll have a great understanding of the best way to proceed, and it will feel very comfortable and natural to you. Use the resources I've outlined, and use your gut- there are many great surgeons out there- with these guidelines you should be able to attain the outcome and experience you desire.

Avoiding Complications with a Mommy Makeover
Only consider having a mommy makeover performed in a hospital or accredited surgery center with a board-certified anesthesiologist providing anesthesia. My preference is for patients to spend the night in my accredited OR to provide peace of mind for patients and their families.
This is not the time to look for a bargain. Low prices or discounts may mean hidden costs, or worse, compromised safety or quality.
This is also not the time to be shy about asking questions about experience, training, office staff or cleanliness. The sterilization of liposuction cannulas is certainly something to be concerned about, particularly since the techniques used both for decontamination (initial cleaning) and subsequent sterilization may vary widely between surgical facilities. Liposuctioncannulas have a long internal surface (hollow interior) that cannot be scrubbed and cleaned in the same manner as the exterior surface of thecannula. Some sterile processing departments merely flush the cannulas after use with water and/or detergent, then autoclave them ('autoclave' is the name of the sterilization machine). Flushing without pulsatile pressure does not ensure that all debris is removed from the inner surface of the cannulas.
This need for specialized handling of hollow instruments during sterile processing applies to all liposuction cannulas, both those used for infiltration of tumescent solution prior to fat removal and to the larger ones used for removal (aspiration) of fat. It is also of critical importance for procedures that use cannulas with very small diameters, such as those that are used for fat grafting.
· At The Plastic Surgery Center our Sterile Processing Department uses a cannula-flushing device called the Pure StationTM System made by Pure Processing LLC. One feature of this device is a built-in flushing pump which increases the productivity of syringe flushing of cannulas by about 70%. Pulsatile flushing has been shown to significantly more effective at cleaning internal cannula surfaces compared to constant-pressure flushing by hand. The Pure StationTM System provide a rapid pulsatile flow of chemical detergent/cleaning solutions that cannot be produced by manual techniques.
· The facility that your plastic surgeon uses to perform surgical procedures should be happy to share with you the details of their sterilization process. Simply request to speak with the Clinical Director (usually an R.N.) or Nurse Manager of that facility. It is perfectly reasonable to want some assurance about this important part of the surgery process.

Safety issues with mommy makeover
No mother would want to put herself at risk unnecessarily so your question about complications with the mommy makeover is a good one. The procedure typically includes a tummy tuck (mini or full), and a breast procedure (implants, lift, or both) so there isn't just one set of risks to consider. Fortunately the serious risks are rare. these would include blood clots embolizing to the lungs, but we use several measures to minimize the risk. The overall complication rate is small if the operation is done by an experienced plastic surgeon operating in an accredited facility.

Mommy Makeover Occasional Complications
The most common complications following Mommy Makeover surgery are related to small amounts of excess skin called dog ears at the ends of either your breast or abdominal incisions. Surgeons try to limit the length of the incisions relying on the patient's healing to redistribute some of the excess. At times, the patient's skin fails to redrape and small revisionary surgery is required. Patients also may be aware post-operatively of some asymmetry between the sides of their body. If the asymmetry is significant, then additional correction may be required. Serious but rare complications can include infection, bleeding, deep vein thrombosis and pulmonary emboli (blood clots to the lungs). Well trained surgeons are always vigilant about intra-operative and post-operative care to minimize any complications. Patients should always seek out a surgeon who operates in an Accredited Facility, is Board Certified in Plastic Surgery, and has experience in Mommy Makeover surgery.
Mommy Makeover Complications
Regardless of the surgery performed, a surgical scar can always result in 4 complications:
1. Bleeding or Hematoma (Blood clot under skin)
2. Infection
3. Wound Dehiscence or Breakdown
4. Poor Scarring
Scar tissue formation is multifactorial. It can result from poor surgical technique, genetic predispositon, tension on the wound, infection, or wound breakdown.
Regardless of the scar tissue formation, plastic surgeons can offer a variety of therapeutic options to improve poor scar formation.
Complications from a Mommy Makeover are rare in the hands of an experienced Board Certified Plastic Surgeon. Complications, although rare, can occur for the following mommy makeover procedures:
Complications of the Mommy Makeover
Specific to Breast Augmentation:
-capsular contracture (scarring around the implant)
Specific to Breast Lift
-nipple/areola sensation loss
-breast asymmetry
-partial or complete loss of nipple/areola
Specific to Tummy Tuck:
-seroma formation (fluid collection)
-belly button partial or complete loss
-partial or complete skin loss
Specific to Liposuction
- contour deformity
-prolonged swelling
Complications from a mommy makeover
A "mommy makeover" typically involves a breast procedure (implants and/or lift) combined with a an abdominal procedure such as a tummy tuck and/or liposuction. A patient must first have medical clearance by their primary care physician prior to undergoing this type of surgery to minimize and avoid complications. There are anesthetic complications such as unusual heart rhythms or pnuemonia which can develop during or after surgery. One well known complication is called a deep vein thrombosis (DVT) or a blood clot which can form in a patients legs which can become life-threatening if it migrates toward the heart and lungs. This blood clot formation has a tendency to develop during surgeries that are of a longer duration in time.
Other complications can develop from the surgery itself such as infection, bleeding, fluid collections under the skin (seromas), numbness, decreased nipple sensation, breast implant rupture, poor scarring or raised scars (keloids).
Please consult with a board certified plastic surgeon who is familiar with this combination of procedures and who can determine if you are a candidate for a "mommy makeover".
Safety needs to be the first priority whenever contemplating combination surgery.
Best wishes,
Dr. Bruno
Risks of Having Mommy Makeover Surgery
The Mommy Makeover is a combination of procedures to bring a woman's body back to the way she looked prior to pregnancy. Most commonly some variation of a #TummyTuck and #BreastSurgery are performed. Additional procedures can include liposuction, umbilical hernia repair. The most common #breastprocedures include #mastopexy or #breastlift, #breastaugmentation, or #breastreduction.
All surgical procedures carry some degree of #risk. Always discuss your issues and concerns with the Plastic Surgeon during and following your consultation. Information that you read online may not apply to your personal situation. The suitability of your procedures and any specific risks may be determined during you #consultation.
#Combining these procedures decreases anesthetics, costs, and recovery time. Most importantly, your procedures should be performed by a #PlasticSurgeon who is board-certified and has a great deal of experience specializing in cosmetic #surgery. You will then greatly improve your chances of getting the result you desire, and, without the need for a revision surgery. It is suggested that you look at before and after photos of the surgeons actual patients, and read patient reviews. Gathering all of this information will help you make a well-informed decision.

Mommy Makeover: Complications
Probably the most common "complication" seen is to have a stitch or two pop and have a little prolongation of the healing. Usually this necessitates a dressing on the incision a little longer, but usually resolves over time without any major intervention.Another common thing to have happen is to develop a fluid collection (or seroma) under the tissues. Surgical drains are frequently used to avoid these, but if they come out too soon or you are too active after they come out, then fluid can build up and delay or cause problems with healing. Adequate compression and closely following activity restrictions make this much less likely.
Less common problems with infection can occur.Your surgeon typically will give you IV antibiotics right before your surgery, and then oral antibiotics for 24 hours after surgery.Following this protocol greatly reduces the chances of having an infection.What you do after surgery can also influence infections and healing.Avoid dirty and dusty environments, no swimming with stitches, have clean sheets and towels after surgery, no sleeping with pets, and practice good hand washing policies when touching dressings or around incisions.Minor issues are relatively common, but major problems that worsen results or threaten your health are extremely uncommon.Remember any surgery, no matter how minor, has risks involved, but following instructions and using common sense can avoid the majority of problems.
Check out my video on Tummy Tuck Recovery to learn more!
Mommy Make Over complications
Although in general complications are uncommon when they do occur the most common ones would be associated with wound healing problems such as an infection or some degree of wound separation.Fortunately major complications are even less common. This would include such things as a blood clot leading to a pulmonary embolism and postoperative bleeding. An experienced an well-trained surgical team will evaluate you for all of these risks and take the necessary steps preoperatively to lessen your chances of a postoperative complication. Good luck

MultiBac Platform for Vaccine and VLP Production
The European Molecular Biology Laboratory (EMBL), Grenoble, France
MultiBac is installed at the Eukaryotic Expression Facility (EEF) at EMBL Grenoble. The EEF consists of a fully equipped cell culture facility including sterile benches, light microscopy, fluorescence microscopy, shaker platforms, incubators and tissue culture equipment. Protein purification equipment and facilities for protein analysis including SDS-PAGE, immuno-blot and state-of-the-art biophysical techniques are also provided. All MultiBac reagents, protocols and cell strains required are available at the host laboratory.
The MultiBac platform at the EMBL is the lead technology for eukaryotic multiprotein production (Berger et al, Nat. Biotechnol. 2004; Fitzgerald et al, Nat. Methods 2006; Bieniossek et al, TiBS 2012). MultiBac has been developed by the Berger laboratory, and is an advanced baculovirus expression vector system (BEVS) particularly tailored for producing multicomponent assemblies including VLPs and vaccines. Since its introduction it has been distributed to more than 500 laboratories (academic and industrial) worldwide and has catalyzed research in many areas of the life sciences, in structural biology, VLP vaccine production, gene therapy and more.
MultiBac ultilizes an optimized baculovirus that has been engineered in the Berger lab for high-quality protein production. A fluorescent marker has been integrated into the viral backbone to enable virus performance tracking and protein production. This virus is accessed by multigene constructs containing the DNA encoding for the protein complex produced. This multigene construct is generated from small synthetic precursor plasmid modules into which the genes of interest are inserted.
On-site access
The MultiBac platform has been part of consortia in FP6 and FP7, and has been accessed on-site by many scientists from Europe and world-wide for MultiBac training and for protein production. Visitors are supported in project planning and construct preparation prior to their visit, and intensively trained on a one-to-one basis during their stay at the EEF (usually 10 working days).

Is your university lecture or tutorial overcrowded? Let NTEU know
Overcrowdings of lectures and tutorials is a common complaint amongst university staff and students in the first few weeks of first semester. In fact, all staff have stories of trying to do too much with too little.
This year inadequate funding per student combined with the uncapping of enrolments is likely to make matters worse. This will means more crowded and increase workloads for staff.
As part of our Invest in Australia's Future campaign, NTEU has been asking university staff and students to report instances of overcrowding and under resourcing to the Union.
While we have got a lot of support from staff for the idea of the campaign, some institutions have raised privacy concerns in relation to our request to send us photographs of overcrowded university classes and/or tutorials. We are looking into the concerns that have been raised.
However, it is important for all staff to tells their stories if we are to affect the public perceptions of the sector. People care about these issues, and we are looking for your stories about your workplaces, tutorials, lectures, laboratories, and seminars where the resources you have are not sufficient to do the work you need to do. Whether you are an academic or general staff member, tell you tales. We will not reveal your details without your permission.
These can be posted on the NTEU's UniStories website or sent to the following e-mail: [email protected]
We will be posting a selection of stories on the NTEU's Invest in Australia's Future website and using them to generate media interest in the issue of university under funding.
Finally, the NTEU is also interested in know about any staff or students who are prepared to talk to the media about these issues. If you know of a particularly serious example of overcrowding or under resourcing and are prepared to talk to the media contact the Union's National Media Officer, Andrew Nette at [email protected]
Or don't hesitate to contact me if you have any questions or require further information.
Yours sincerely,
Matthew McGowan
NTEU Assistant National Secretary

Upcoming Events
The 24th Annual Social Issues Conference, Presents "From the Margins to the Center"
The annual social issues conference works in collaboration with individuals and departments from the campus community to bring speakers and programs that; increase awareness of social issues; instigate positive change through communication, advocacy, and activism; and embrace the value of respect, dignity, and compassion. Programming has expanded from a one-day conference to the idea of the semester as a conference in order to collaborate and support the numerous social issues related programming facilitated by members of the campus community.
This year's Social Issues Conference theme, From the Margins to the Center, reflects the need in our society to place our most vulnerable and marginalized peoples at the core of our concern as educators, organizers, and life-long learners. During the fall 2013 semester at USD, the university highlights the Catholic Social Teaching principle of Option for the Poor and Vulnerable. This principle challenges and encourages society to create conditions for marginalized voices to be heard and to work to securethat the dignity of all people is respected and protected. From the Margins to the Center, requires that central concerns transform community and community will stand together, side by side.
"Then we imagine no one standing outside of that circle, moving ourselves closer to the margins so that the margins themselves will be erased. We stand there with those whose dignity has been denied. We locate ourselves with the poor and the powerless and the voiceless." ― Gregory Boyle, Tattoos on the Heart: The Power of Boundless Compassion

Hi Andrew
You're right - SEO, professionally executed, is completely legitimate. The problem remains that not all "SEOs" are legit – in my experience, a good number simply adopt the title and the result is ... well, complex. As you say, many are only out to cheat the system, even after the carnage of Panda, Penguin, Hummingbird et al.
I guess in the end it depends on how you define "the SEO community". Include the self-anointed element and I stand by my statement; focus only on the professionals and I'm more open to being convinced otherwise. I wrote a post on my own blog a while back that tackled the issue full-on and was intended to encourage debate – take a look if you have a spare minute.
As you rightly point out, the SEO Grail should be the long-term effects of producing great content. Tools like Authorship should be in every content creator's armoury in order to boost reputation and encourage engagement, and I aspire to those outcomes wholeheartedly.
Thanks for responding - always good to have a constructive discussion.
Jan 5 Posted 3 years ago
Hi Mike,
No matter how you look at it, SEO is a legitimate, and largely beneficial, business process. Google is seeking to provide best quality service by giving people the search results they're after, rather than links to content that ranks well through an improper process. Most SEO practices work in accordance with Google and assist companies to improve their ranking, but there will always be those who seek to 'cheat' the system, which forces Google to re-evaluate and update their algorithms.
Definitely, the bottom line is that producing great content and increasing your online presence and engagement will ensure your brand profile ranks well, as designed. There will always be an element, or awareness, of SEO required in your processes, but you and Chris are correct - Google are not who you're battling against. Their rules encourage you to produce and engage, which, ideally, should have benefits extending father than just SEO, while also assisting them in providing the best service to their users.
Does the SEO community complicate those rules? I personally don't think so. Like anything, some are more reputable than others, and it also takes some time to test cause and effect for each change, so the answers aren't always available straight up.
Thanks for reading.

Interesting Andrew.
Do you not think it's the SEO community that is making SEO more complex rather than Google (or Microsoft for that matter)? Every man and his dog has an opinion about Google's latest pronouncement but no two offer the same advice, or so it seems to me. So where does the complexity arise? Not with Google, methinks.
BTW, I agree 100 per cent with Chris' comment - It's a fool's game trying to outwit the Google algorithm ...
Jan 2 Posted 3 years ago
Great article, Andrew.
Content curation for user engagement is another great way to work on the above points. If you think about it, one is already doing it on Twitter, Facebook and LinkedIn. However, if a platform like netcurate is leveraged and the contributor can express their viewpoint on the existing piece of content, that is a great value add showing your Thought Leadership, and I think this be the next phase of content engagement.
Thanks for sharing this article.

Asesome Post, Everyone knows Content is King but we still want readers to read our quality content and for that we need some Seo Tricks, And also social Sharin Etc.
Dec 31 Posted 3 years ago
In today's increasingly tech savvy world, search engines are wisening up to all of the sneaky little backdoor methods of increasing site traffic. The best policy will be (and should be) engagine content. I can't stress enough the importance of simply adding value for your customers. People don't have the time to engage with a site that is simply in it to sell.
There needs to be a relationship built; a trusting and engaging relationship between a business and its customers at every oportunity possible. Google's algorithm will always encourage and reward any behaviors which promote just that.
Dec 31 Posted 3 years ago
Nice piece Andrew. I'd go one step further -- the changes Google is implementing are a boon for quality content developers, not a problem to be managed. I work in the B2B/B2G space, where it's quality over quantity promotion.
It's a fools game trying to outwit the Google algorithm -- companies need to project their thought leadership in a compelling, interesting way. Do that well, promote appropriately through the social channels your prospects use and organic SEO will inevitably rise.
Simple to describe, definitely not simple to accomplish. For many of my clients this is a culture shift, and there is a significant time investment required by the approach you describe.
Merry New Year!
Dec 30 Posted 3 years ago
I believe engaging and evergreen content can be presented in the form of Infographics, for example they can look something like this http://infographicdesignteam.com/infographic-harm-of-bad-infographics.html. Infographics as a good example of visual content bring a lot of likes, shares and backlinks to the site where it was posted, thus improving your SEO.
Dec 30 Posted 3 years ago
Awesome comments and definitely hitting to the heart of the matter - people. One of my favorite quotes comes from Oprah Winfrey: 'The secret of my success is a two word answer: Know people'. In the end, people have an inherent sense of a message that is sales driven vs. useful content driven. I am just surprised people still do things that are so blatantly self-serving and think they will benefit from it.
Dec 29 Posted 3 years ago
This article contains very good suggestions for making content effective. I shared it with several groups.
Dec 28 Posted 3 years ago
Great post. I cant tell you how many times I've said it...Quality Content is the ONLY way to do SEO. All the other little 'tricks' (and they are tricks) will come and go but Quality Content will stay the key.
The reason is that Google wants to provide searches with great search results, help google with their task and they'll help you with yours. It's really just that simple.

Innsbruck, Austria (SPX) Jun 13, 2014
One of the most remarkable consequences of the rules in quantum mechanics is the capability of a quantum particle to penetrate through a potential barrier even though its energy would not allow for the corresponding classical trajectory. This is known as the quantum tunnel effect and manifests itself in a multitude of well-known phenomena.
For example, it explains nuclear radioactive decay, fusion reactions in the interior of stars, and electron transport through quantum dots. Tunneling also is at the heart of many technical applications, for instance it allows for imaging of surfaces on the atomic length scale in scanning tunneling microscopes.
All the above systems have in common that they essentially represent the very fundamental paradigm of the tunnel effect: a single particle that penetrates through a single barrier. Now, the team of Hanns-Christoph Nagerl, Institute for Experimental Physics of the University of Innsbruck, Austria, has directly observed tunneling dynamics in a much more intriguing system: They see quantum particles transmitting through a whole series of up to five potential barriers under conditions where a single particle could not do the move.
Instead the particles need to help each other via their strong mutual interactions and via an effect known as Bose enhancement.
In their experiment the scientists place a gas of Cesium atoms at extremely low temperatures just above absolute zero temperature into a potential landscape that is deliberately engineered by laser light.
This so-called optical lattice forms a regular and perfect structure constituting the multiple tunneling barriers, similar to a washboard. As temperatures are so low and thus the atoms' kinetic energies are so tiny, the only way to move across the washboard is via tunneling through the barriers.
The tunneling motion is initiated by applying a directed force onto the atoms along one of the lattice axes, that is, by tilting the washboard. It is now one of the crucial points in the experiment that the physicists control through how many barriers the particles penetrate by the interplay between the interaction and the strength of the force in conjunction with Bose enhancement as a result of the particles' quantum indistinguishability.
Very similar to a massive object moving in the earth's gravitational field, the tunneling atoms should loose potential energy when they move down the washboard. But where can they deposit this energy in such a perfect and frictionless environment? It's the interaction energy between the atoms when they share the same site of the lattice that compensates for the potential energy.
As a result, the physicists found that the tunneling motion leads to discrete resonances corresponding to the number of barriers the particles penetrate through.
It is left for the future to explore the role of such long-range tunneling processes for lattice systems with ultracold atoms in the context of quantum simulation and quantum information processing, or for different physical settings, for instance electronic quantum devices, molecular or even biological systems.

They had it 3 weeks last time, ended up replacing the throttle bodies, but that didn't help. They ran all the diagnostics and found nothing wrong. Ladies, I've been following your ride report and absotulely love it! I bought the Tiger to do trips exaclty like yours. I would hate for you to have to cut your trip short because of this issue. But Triumph does not have a fix for this, hoping you get home safe.

I found the following information
on a Meridith Hurt from the
Washington Co. - Wythe Co. area that could possibly be this Meridith.
Rogers Ancestors
The Hurts have been in Virginia since 1623. However, I am stuck here
with Zachariah - This File comes from Sally Hurt
From Revolutionary War Pension Files.
Hurt, Zachariah, wife Francis, R5434, Va line, sol m Frances "Fanny"
Mitchell on 8 June 1787 in Prince Edward Co Va
From DAR submission 118120 Zachariah served as private in
Robert Hughes company under General Lawson Virginia militia. He was
born in Powhatan County and died in Wythe Co VA
From the above we find that Zachariah Hurt had a brother named Meridith and one named George Washington, but as I read it no son by that name mentioned.
There is an entry in Lee
Count Marriage Register 2 transcribed by Elizabeth Carpenter
7-23-1858 M C Hurt age 46 widow b Wythe County Va parents S & H Hurt Helen M Cole age 37 single b Lee Co Va paents John & Lucy Kirk
This might indicate that Meridith Hurt born near 1811 could be the son of Stephen Hurt, a son of Zachariah.
|In the 1810 U.S. Federal Census for Wythe Co., Va we find:
Page 836.
Zachariah Hurt 3 males under 10, 2 males 10-1,5 one
male 10-25 and one male 45
and over. One female under 10 one female 10-15, one female 15-25 and
female 45 and over.
I have very little information on
the Hurt line.
I know the following about Meridith Hurt, thanks to Jeanne T. Hurt of Bristol, Tennessee. and a much more up to date comprehensive file from Betty Swanson in 2004.

Rootsweb on Benjamin HURT
1. Margaret HURT was born 1873 in , Lee County, Virginia.
2. Mary HURT was born 1875 in , Lee County, Virginia.
(3)Aunt Mariah Hurt married Benjamin Newby and after her husband's death lived in a small house at the corner of T.W. Stone's property, just under a large oak, that later became my parents front yard. She was said to have hidden a large amount of Confederate money in a knot in that tree during one of the battles that took place in Tazewell. The tree fell in Aug. 1980 and the first thing I did was look for all that money. Needless to say none was found. Well if the song, They Called the Wind Mariah ever had significance it was when that tree toppoled. I got over 50 loads of firewood just from the limbs and it left a 5 ton log laying in the yard of almost two years.
Harriet Lenora Hurt was the second wife of Thomas Wesley Stone
They were said to have adopted
Birdie May Stone.
If you have any information on the Hurt family please email me Joe Payne
Some interest in a Hurt Family DNA study has been given. You can find a post regarding this interest on the Hurt Family DNA Project along with lots of Genform Posts HERE

Man Loses Playstation Device to Armed Robber, as His Young Children Watch
Salt Lake police are searching for a well-tattooed, white male, who robbed a man of his Playstation system -- at gunpoint -- while the victim's three young children watched.
The incident occurred Thursday, in a parking lot on West Temple, at 13th South.
That's where the victim and suspect arranged to meet, after agreeing to a sales price for the video game equipment, on line.
Authorities say, when the victim pulled into the parking lot -- with his three kids in the car -- the suspect approached him, flashed his gun, took the equipment and left on foot.
Police say the suspect has several tattoos, including the numbers "801" on the back of his scalp.
There were no injuries.

My family of 3 was looking for a place to stay while we enjoyed the Disney parks. My sister in law recommended her family home and I could not have made a better decision to stay there. My family and my husbands cousin stayed for a week. The home is very spacious, clean, and great place to sit back and relax by the pool after those long hot days at the parks. The house has everything you could possibly need to spend a week away from your home from blankets, towels and laundry amenities. To grills to cook out, strollers and pool tools. All you need is you clothes! Literally! Also there is soo much to do in the area! A bunch of parks, shopping and 2 Walmart within 5 minutes from the house. I can't wait to go back!
I cannot say enough great things about the house! We have stayed at this home numerous times and it is always well maintained, beautiful and accomodating!! Thanks so much for sharing you Family home with My Family!!! I rave about this home to everyone I know!!!
My family of 4, my sister 's family and my brother and his wife stayed here Spring 2016. There were 9 of us and we all felt right at home with plenty of space and privacy. The house is set up so nicely and every spot is so comfy! We all enjoyed the heated pool, especially the kids! We enjoyed cooking and eating in screened in pool area and just lounging outside at night. There are lounge chairs and everything is set up to make you feel at home. There are books and board games/puzzles to entertain if the weather is bad. The location can't be be beat either. So close to all kinds of restaurants, flea markets, Target, and all the parks. The kitchen is fully equipped and being able to do laundry was a total life saver! We all can't wait to come back!
We have rented this property yearly for almost 5 years, except last summer. The house is always clean, the furniture is comfortable, and the pool is great to cool off.
Owners are easy to work with.
My family has stayed her 4or 5 times and we love it each time. The owners are an amazing family that want to make sure your stay is wonderful. We are a family of 5 and always had 2-3 extra guests with us and there is plenty of room. Extremely close to all of the parks and minutes away from shopping and family fun.
We have just come back from Florida where we stayed in this home. There were 8 of us. It is so much better than any hotel room, we actually had space and room to relax without bumping into each other. This house is immaculate and I would stay here again. Management is excellent and the staff that came to the house were wonderful and gave us great ideas for dinners and places to shop as we were avoiding the touristy things. I can not speak more highly of this house. Again, I will definitely stay here again and have been raving about this house to everyone.

During a Monday November 19 appearance at the University of North Carolina in Chapel Hill, CNN founder Ted Turner charged that the Bush administration has "turned a lot of our friends into enemies," as he contended that when President Bush came into office, "we were friends with just about everybody in the world." Turner remarked, as documented by Raleigh's newspaper the "News and Observer": "Making friends where there used to be enemies is a very important thing to do. ... That's why I'm so sorry about this administration. Because we were friends with just about everybody in this world -- the United States was -- when this administration came to power. Now, we've turned a lot of our friends into enemies. ... I think the country with the most friends is the one that wins in the end." (More quotes follow)
The CNN founder also repeated his contention that men have "screwed up" the world as they have been the dominant leaders for so long, and theorized that, with women in charge, "we would get big reductions in military budgets and big increases in education and health care." Turner: "I'm not saying men shouldn't be able to do everything else -- be able to run education, business -- just part from public office for 100 years. ... Let's let the women run the countries, run the world for a while. I know what would happen. We would get big reductions in military budgets and big increases in education and health care."
Turner also argued that his $1 billion donation to the United Nations was "an investment in the future of humanity," and charged that CNN is now "trivializing the news," and that he "doesn't like it as much as when [he] was running it." Turner: "I don't like it as much as when I was running it. ... I think they're trivializing the news. ... They still do some excellent programming, but I'm disappointed overall, particularly in the programs like 'Headline News' and prime time."
The complete text of the "News and Observer" article from November 20 containing some of Turner's quotes can be found here.

UNDERCOVER police will monitor arsonists across NSW to stop them using catastrophic conditions to cause havoc.
Police will use a comprehensive intelligence dossier of firebugs to mount a major surveillance operation to prevent fires being set across the state.
A total fire ban has been declared statewide and danger ratings have been raised to catastrophic in some areas, including the Illawarra, as record high temperatures combined with high winds create the perfect conditions to turn a small fire into an inferno.
The Bureau of Meteorology warned today was just the start of a series of heatwaves that would cripple the state for the rest of summer.
Arsonists caught lighting fires during today's total fire ban face a maximum 25-year prison sentence and fines of up to $110,000. Premier Barry O'Farrell urged the community to be on the lookout for arson activity and report any suspicious behaviour: "NSW is facing one of its worst fire danger days on record (and) sadly, some people may think this is a time to engage in criminal behaviour and recklessly endanger lives and property by lighting fires.
"Those who intentionally light a fire also face jail terms of up to 14 years, increasing to 25 years if someone dies as a result of the fire.
"People who are even momentarily tempted to light a fire should take note of these penalties and think again.
"Police will not hesitate to throw the book at those who want to put the safety of the community at risk.
"Our emergency services will have their hands full as it is - they don't need their jobs made even harder by people recklessly lighting fires."
Detectives from Strike Force Tronto, set up to counter arson and pursue firebugs, will closely watch known offenders today and throughout the remainder of the bushfire season.
NSW Police arson experts, Rural Fire Service and NSW Fire Brigade intelligence personnel held meetings yesterday to finalise strategies to tackle would-be offenders.
"The minute they head towards bush we will be on to them," police property crime squad head Detective Superintendent Ian McNab said.
Anyone who notices suspicious activity should call Triple-0 or Crime Stoppers on 1800 333 000

Clinton Township
'Special' season comes to a close
Clintondale boys basketball team wins MAC Silver title, falls in district quarters
By Jason Carmel Davis
Posted March 7, 2013
WARREN— The Clinton Township Clintondale boys basketball team won its first Macomb Area Conference Silver Division title since the 2008-09 season.
The Dragons won with defense, according to coach Rob Townsend. For the season, Clintondale allowed 46.9 points per game, using a variety of half- and full-court man and zone schemes to stymie opponents. That number is good for fifth in the 36-team MAC.
Clintondale — which went 12-2 in winning the MAC Silver, a title it shares with St. Clair Shores Lakeview — tallied 48 points per game. That average is the lowest of any league champion in the MAC in two years.
"Earlier in the year, I just said I'd be glad if we were in the race for the league title because of what Lakeview had coming back," Townsend said. "For us to win it is something special for the kids."
The Dragons weren't able to build on that success, however, falling to Warren Lincoln 62-52 March 4 in a Michigan High School Athletic Association Class B district quarterfinal. The setback ends Clintondale's bid to repeat as district champs.
The Dragons' 2012 district crown was the program's first since 1992.
"We started the season 2-3, and we were playing from behind all season," Townsend said.
"We got behind (against Lincoln), too. They could have folded, but they didn't. They fought hard, just like they have all year long."
The Dragons, which finished the season 14-7, went 12-4 after that slow start and never had a losing streak.
"(The district quarterfinal) was kind of like our whole season," Townsend said. "We were down in games at a lot of points, but we battled all year and we're division champs. We just dug too big a hole for ourselves against Lincoln."
Townsend, in his sixth year as Clintondale head coach, is optimistic about the future, as the Dragons next year will return five players.
The Clintondale coach said Semaj Richardson, Greg Robinson and Dominick Hallums would step into bigger roles next season, after seeing significant playing time this year.
"These guys are all-around players," Townsend said. "They can all do a lot of different things on the court.
"Our success this season shows you the type of character our players have. Most of them played football and won a championship there. To win a championship in basketball on top of that was incredible."

Fremantle players would have felt like it was Groundhog Day on Friday morning when they headed to Perth airport - but at least there was a happy ending.
The Dockers' preparations for Saturday's AFL qualifying final against the Swans at ANZ Stadium were thrown into disarray on Thursday after their 4pm flight to Sydney was cancelled.
Fremantle players spent two hours on the tarmac before being told to disembark after one of the plane's three critical computers failed.
The team's flight was rescheduled for 10am on Friday morning, ruining Fremantle's plans to arrive in Sydney two days before the game.
Players were in good spirits as they arrived at Perth airport on Friday morning, and their flight took off at 9.58am - two minutes earlier than expected.
Football operations manager Chris Bond said it was business as usual despite Thursday's flight drama.
"Once they realised the details of what happened, they grabbed their bags, got a good night's sleep, had a home-cooked meal, and were back here this morning," Bond said before boarding the rescheduled flight.
"We don't think it will affect (our preparations) at all.
"There'll be good recovery when we get off the plane, and also again tonight.
"We'll go have a look at the ground tomorrow morning for the usual walk and stretch.
"It's against the norm of what we do, but that won't be an excuse from our end.
"Tomorrow afternoon we'll be ready to go no matter what the situation."
Fremantle held their main training session in Perth on Thursday morning, but the flight drama forced them to move their walk-through session at ANZ Stadium from Friday to Saturday.
Bond said the sports science team, led by Jason Weber, had spoken to the players about what they needed to do in order to get themselves primed for game day.
"A lot of it is about hydration," Bond said.
"They're a very professional, experienced group. We've been doing this a long time.
"We've got a history of playing some big games interstate. We've got no doubt the boys are fully prepared.
"They'll be hydrated, they'll be well fed, so that won't be a problem."

Title:COMPARISON OF POTTING MIXES FOR MACADAMIA NUT TREES
Author:T. Thochoulias
pp: 608-611
Nine month old composted macadamia husks were tested with sand, soil and sawdust in a combination of potting mixes.
Sand and husks increased macadamia seedling height by 73% after one year in 10 containers while sand and sawdust depressed growth by 39% compared to soil and sand.
Dry weight of leaves, stems, tap roots and fibre roots at the end of the experiment showed high dry matter in the leaves (61%) compared to Pinus radiata (49%) The shoot to root ratio was 4.6 compared to 21 recorded for avocados.
The sand and husks treatment (11 v/v) would reduce the time for macadamia seedlings to reach graftable size by 9 months compared to sand and soil( 11 v/v).

While the cash rate might now be at the bottom of its cycle, the Reserve Bank governor,
The downside risks to the global economic outlook, he said, appear to have abated, "for the moment at least". But the truth is that no one can be sure how things will go in Europe or even in Australia.
The political instability in Italy and Spain is a reminder that Europeans are struggling to come to terms with the demands of a sustainable currency union. A setback in Europe could affect confidence and investment in Australia and the US.
Australia finished last year with a strong trade performance and an economy growing at about its trend rate. Even so, there is uncertainty about the profile of mining investment over the next 12 months.
Deloitte Access Economics, which conducts a detailed quarterly survey of the status of major investment projects, says business investment might go into gradual decline, with mining investment continuing at historically high levels, or it might drop off more sharply.
The main reason for the uncertainty is that final investment decisions for a number of large resources projects are due this year. The top 10 projects on that list, Deloitte Access says, are worth $126 billion.
Even in the event of a moderate decline, no one can be sure that Australia's housing, manufacturing and service sectors will seamlessly fill the gap in demand as mining investment peaks.
As Stevens warned in his interview late last year with The Australian Financial Review: "On business investment, my pretty strong recollection of quite a few cycles I've lived through is that you get to a point where the fundamentals of that investment look OK and you're wondering, why aren't they doing it? And eventually they will but, quite often, that is slower to show up than one would have ideally liked."
