1 Introduction
|One of the first to describe differences in life span
according to month of birth was Ellsworth Huntington. In his book "Season of
Birth" [10] he presents data on longevity by month of birth based on
genealogical memoirs of families from different regions of the United States. For all
regions he found that people born in February or March live decidedly longer than those
born in July or August.
A study of Japanese males born before 1890 [14] found that those born between May and July have a lower life expectancy after age 70 to 75 than those born in other months of the same year. Recent research on babies born in rural Gambia indicates that those born during the dry season suffer higher mortality later in life than those born during the wet season [15] .
Huntingtons findings stimulated a long line of research on season of birth and the likelihood of mental disorders, e.g. schizophrenia (for a review of 250 studies, see [12, 16, 19, 21] ), Alzheimers disease [22] , and autistic disorder [3] . Most of these studies found significant differences in the risk of developing the respective disease according to season of birth. Findings on cancer patients have also revealed significant seasonality in life span according to month of birth [17, 24] .
Up to now studies about the relationship between month of birth and longevity have used comparatively small data samples. For example, Huntingtons results are based on genealogical information for about 39,000 persons. Some of the data samples were confined to selected groups: Miuras findings are based on graduates of the Tokyo medical school and on asylum inmates, each group numbering about 400 people.
In this study I use data for total populations to investigate the question of whether or not month of birth and life span are related. I employ two different data sources for two different countries: Austria and Denmark. The Austrian data are based on vital statistics. The exact date of birth and the exact date of death are known for each person who died between 1988 and 1996. Only deaths after age 50 are considered. For the years 1990 to 1997 the cause of death is also reported. The Danish data consist of the total population aged 50+ on 1 April 1968. These people were then followed until their death or until August 1998.
The result of this study suggests that life span and month of birth are in fact related. Having determined this, I then pay particular attention to the question of whether or not this relationship can be explained by factors that become active at the end of ones life. I consider two factors: first, the impact of the seasonal distribution of mortality on life span and, second, the "birthday-effect". The latter refers to the alleged tendency of people to die shortly after their birthday. I show in this study that neither factor can explain the relationship between month of birth and life span. Furthermore, I find cause to question recent results that found a correlation between birthday and the time of death (e.g. [5, 23] ).
The article closes with a discussion of possible mechanisms that may explain the relationship between month of birth and longevity.

Text 'CLAIM' to
We are solicitors with experience of personal injury claims
Some personal injury firms use unqualified people or "claims handlers" to have an initial look at your case and even go on to handle it for you. It is our view that personal injury claims require experience and advice from a fully qualified solicitor who is an expert in the field. We will match your case to the most suitable solicitor with experience of your type of claim.
We will not raise your hopes but will give you an honest appraisal of your case
It is important to be realistic about the prospects for success. It is all too easy to compare yourself to someone else who may have had a similar accident. We will never raise your hopes and will always be honest about whether your case is worth pursuing and the amount of compensation you can expect to achieve.
We offer a free, no obligation initial advice
We will always give you a free initial interview where we will assess your case and its prospects of success. If we think we can help you we will match your case to one of our solicitors. You are under no obligation to use our solicitors and we will never pressurise you to do so. You are free to seek the advice of other solicitors and even come back to us if you do not initially accept our services.
Your case is confidential?
We will never share the details of your case with other firms unless you agree to us referring you to another firm who we think would be better equipped to handle your case.
We operate a no win no fee system
We operate a no win no fee system (also known as Conditional Fee Agreements) for accident victims that gives everyone access to justice. This means that if your claim is lost you will not have to pay any legal fees or expenses. If your case is won you may have to pay legal fees and expenses out of your compensation but we guarantee this will not exceed 25% of the compensation you receive.
We will explain in detail how your case will be paid for.
At our initial meeting we will explain how your case will be funded in detail so you understand and are happy with the arrangements.
We are friendly and approachable and will explain everything to you in plain English.
We understand how stressful it is to deal with solicitors, particularly after you have suffered an injury. We have a friendly and approachable way of working with our clients and we will always communicate with you in a way that is easy for you to understand.

|Reviews for Monoculo's Mistake
| VAPX007 chapter 3 . 8/5/2010
No, Irual,
That's a perfect place to end a chapter! That inspires 'turn the page' enthusiasm from the reader, just like Scheherezade and the 1,000 Arabian nights.
I'm pretty amazed at how deep you've taken this, which is the single obvious reason as to why you have trouble keeping your chapters shorter.
I must say that you really do have a beautiful reading of Launchpad. I teared up in chapter 1. Good job!
I know you've had a thousand reviews, but anyway. I think it really is lovely, and I am excited to get to the next chapter!
But, I offer the input, Wikipedia actually spells it Macawber, as a play in 'macaw' and 'Macabre'. The first time I read it spelt like this, (I can't remember who's story, but it was Negaduck saying it) I thought it was just him playing with the idea of her being evil! lol.
And I'm a little concerned about the ghost's role in all of this. It kinda reminds me of the solution to Hamlet in four short words: "The ghost did it." And in explanation, "If it wasn't for the ghost coming back and meddling, nobody would have died" so was Morgana's mother really out to get Drake? Look at all the trouble the ghost has caused here! And DW has already fallen in the moat in this story, oh, I can see it getting a whole lot worse! Bring it on, yay!
Wow, but I can understand Moloculo's horror! Fancy all that, and his dead wife is standing by ... talk about getting ousted!
I hope there's a happy resolution at The?End, though. That includes Moloculo. I like the guy. In my opinion, he is just like DW, and deserves as much a chance of putting things right. Although, by the foreshadowing cast by the familiars, I can see he might not get a hand in the solution at all.
Thanks for the uploads!
Yours in writing,
| loonytunecrazy chapter 7 . 11/17/2009
Exllcent ending like how Gos tried to reveal herself with getting grounded and it seems Drake and Morg are going to becoming closer
| Cheezey chapter 7 . 4/29/2009
Nice ending to the story! Morgana standing up for herself was great. I could hear her lines in her voice as I read it and I always take that as a sign that the characterization is spot on. Great job. I'll be checking out Hexes and Vexes soon to see where this storyline goes.
| Cheezey chapter 5 . 4/29/2009
Still making my way through this story! I like the background you gave Morgana's father in this past chapter, and am enjoying your characterizations of Archie, Eek, and Squeek as well. Also, you get cool points for bringing up Magica DeSpell and her family. Nice job so far. :)
| Cheezey chapter 2 . 4/29/2009
I like how this story is developing. It was very clever to make Darkwing's distaste for Morgana's food actually be a hex from her father. I always thought his reaction was over the top given that the rest of the "normals" like those who went to her restaurant and the Muddlefoots were so easily won over once they tried it. I also like your take on Morgana's mother. She seems like a very sweet, wise lady, and her crossing over was very touching.
| Cheezey chapter 1 . 4/28/2009
This is the first of your continuity that I've read, and I like what I've seen so far. Your take on Darkwing and Morgana's relationship is compelling, and I'm curious as to what exactly her family cursed him with. (Since I haven't read your other story yet, that is still a surprise to me!) Also, I like your characterization of Launchpad quite a bit. He is such a sweetie. Drake is right, every hero needs a sidekick like him! Great job. I will definitely keep reading!
| loonytunecrazy chapter 6 . 2/21/2009
exllcent chapter here
| loonytunecrazy chapter 5 . 12/23/2008
Wonderful work here like Dw thoughts on Morandra and how he thinking to pop the question and nice jon on Morg dad you doing a great jb keep it up.
| loonytunecrazy chapter 4 . 12/19/2008
Yikes poor Darkwing and this is the reason why its never a good idea to tick off Morganda at least she trying to help Dw. Like the scenes between her and Father also nice work on her family keep up the good work.
| loonytunecrazy chapter 3 . 12/11/2008
Awsome chaoter here nice scenes betweeb Morgana , Lanchpad and Darking. Also with the familaras and Monoculo and exllcent fight Monculo and Darwking.
| loonytunecrazy chapter 2 . 12/3/2008
Great chapter here lovely scenes between Dw and Morganda , morganda's family particualr Envy and Spite and Sigumond the sea serpent. I liked the scene with Morganda's mother , so Monoculo's hex Dw has he I really keep reading.
| loonytunecrazy chapter 1 . 11/24/2008
Great start here so Dw been put under a spell has he keep up the good work.
| acosta perez jose ramiro chapter 7 . 10/15/2008
Another good chapter. Nice work.
If replying please do it via e-mail. Thanks.
Keep the good writing.
| pottersparky chapter 7 . 10/15/2008
Another well done chapther. Gos got off the hook with father for once. I think drake should had talk with her not walking off without worry the people care about her. I like how you clear up on the things that many fans ask about the show. I still like to know if drake will ever meet those monsters that stay at Mcduck's place in that one show? Will morgana's father ever learn what he did was wrong and try make it up to her and drake? I don't get that if morgana's father hates drake this much than why did he help him in the show hot spells? Will morgana's friends from the monster world ever meet drake and his family? Does herb and his wife know that drake and morg are dateing each? How did gizo and darkwing fine out who the other was when they were not being heros? I look forward to he next update to V. I do hope you do few long chathers in story before it is done. I like to learn more about morgana's mother's side of family to. As ever great job and keep up the good work.
| LADYMALLARD chapter 7 . 10/14/2008
Hi there, I am really enjoying the story. Morgana really told off her Father. Her Mother's spirit, is the most support she and Darkwing have, too bad she is only in spirit form. I thought it was fun, when Gos finally revealed herself, that was very clever, but she tripped herslf up, good thing Dark was just happy to see her safe. Many times a pre-story, will not exactly fit with an exsiting one, but I think this one melds well, with the begining of Hexes and Vexes. You've done great with both storys. I found this prequel very intriging. I really look forward to the next chapter for Hexes and Vexes. Keep up the great work.

Let us know when your receive great advice so we can thank our lawyers and point others with similar questions in the right direction.Got it!
My husband came to the us with a visa and i94 overstayed for 7 yrs then we voluntarily moved back to mx in 2008. In 2010 he crossed the board with his valid visa (the visa expired in oct 2010). He crossed legally about 7 times until stopped by immigration where they investigated his visa and canceled due to the previous overstay. He was not deported and wa told he could apply for another visa. But I want to fix his papers will I be able to?? I am a us citizen we have been married since 2005 and have 3 children. He has never been deported or crossed illegally. He has no criminal history.
You should hire an attorney to find out exactly what happened when his visa was cancelled. He might be able to immigrate but will need to apply for waivers. Speak to an experienced immigration attorney soon.Ask a similar question
When I went to immigration at the border where they took his visa I was told they had no record of what happened and they asked for the paperwork my husband was given. He wasn't given any paperwork so the officer told me its like a slap on the hand, a don't do it again you can get him another visa. I spoke to a lawyer (I think it was really an assist) who told me since my husband crossed after receiving a 10 year bar for the overstay and returning to Mexico ...that since he crossed with his visa he has a permenant bar and will not be able to ever get his residency.
Possibly. His unlawful presence may likely be an issue. Depending on the facts a waiver may be available. Do consult an experience immigration attorney for assistance.

Here's another one the sea couldn't have. Poon Lim, a Chinese-born sailor aboard a British Merchant Navy Vessel, which was torpedoed halfway to South America from South Africa in 1942.
He had enough time to grab a life-jacket and jump clear of the sinking ship. Although 11 of the 55-man crew were rescued, they somehow missed him, and he fought the water for two hours before happening upon a wooden life raft, well-stocked with water and survival rations.
The image up above is a reproduction from a U.S. Navy survival training manual. Lim was so awesome at surviving, his methods are taught by national navies.
The rations he had wouldn't last forever, so he adapted everything he had on the raft to make it easier for him to replenish his dwindling supplies. The lid of a biscuit tin was carved into a makeshift knife, fish hooks were made from nails and the nylon from his life raft was used to catch rainwater. He even managed to snag seagulls for extra meat.
At one point, he noticed the bloodied bird remains he'd tossed overboard attracted sharks that scared the fish away. No matter. Lim snagged one with a braided fishing line, hauled it aboard, bludgeoned it with a water bottle full of seawater, and dried and cured the remains.
It was still a hell of an ordeal, with the occasional storm washing over him. At one point, his painstakingly built-up stock of dried fish was washed overboard by waves.
Boat after boat passed him by without noticing him. A U.S. Navy plane dropped a locator beacon near him, but a storm blew him off course away from it before rescue could arrive.
Three Brazilian sailors finally found him and took him ashore. Despite having lost around 9 kg of body mass, he walked ashore unaided, after 133 days at sea, the longest anyone has ever spent cast away in a life boat or life raft.
He died in 1991, at the good age of 72. After defying the sea for 133 days and living to tell of it, he certainly wasn't going to go before his time.
Louis Zamperini
Some people would consider qualifying for the Olympic games as the highlight of their lives. Not Louis Zamperini.
After coming 8th in the 5,000 m race at the 1936 Olympics (you know, the one with Hitler), he joined the U.S. Air Force and found himself serving as a bombardier aboard B-24 Liberator bombers in the Pacific theatre of the Second World War.
Mechanical problems forced his plane from the skies and into the ocean while on a search-and-rescue mission in 1942. Of its 11 crew, only Zamperini and two others survived, and faced the ocean aboard a life raft.
Like others on this list, they survived on rainwater, birds and fish. Unlike others on this list, they had to put up with the occasional strafing run by the occasional Japanese plane (incredibly, they were never hit).
One of the trio died after a month at sea. Zamperini and the other survivor made it to day 47, when they reached the Marshall Islands. Only instead of helpful residents, they found the Japanese army, which immediately took them prisoner.
Former Olympian Zamperini was kept alive, but went through various internment camps and was singled out for torture by Japanese army officer Mutsuhiro Watanabe.
After two years of this, he was released at the end of the war, and went on to become a social worker and speaker. As for his captors, it seems Zamperini, who became quite religious in the years following his ordeal, forgave his captors, and even met with some of his former prison guards.
His chief tormentor Watanabe, who was never prosecuted for his crimes, never met with him, and even turned down a meeting at the 1998 Olympic Games in Nagano. He died in 2003. Zamperini, meanwhile, is not only still going, he regularly gives motivational speeches and his story will soon make its way to the big screen.
Captain Bligh
This one isn't famous so much as infamous, thanks to several VERY harsh portrayals of the man in the various film adaptations that have been made over the years of the famous Mutiny on the Bounty (watch below for all of Anthony Hopkins' best blow-ups as Bligh in the 1984 film "The Bounty"):
In reality, he probably wasn't much harsher than other captains at the time. The famous 1789 mutiny aboard the Bounty, on a science mission to the Pacific, was almost certainly motivated as much by the mutineers desire to remain in warm and sunny Tahiti with the local wives.
And regardless of what kind of taskmaster he was, he soon proved himself one of the best sailors of all time after the mutineers finally took over.
They crammed him and 18 loyalists into an open 7 m launch, gave him a sextant, some supplies and some cutlasses, and sent him on his merry way. We have no way of knowing whether the mutineers actually expected him to survive.
As it happens, the story of Bligh's voyage is way more interesting than the mutineers', in our opinion. With such meagre equipment, the captain somehow managed to get most of his men to safety in the town of Kupang, in what is now the western part of Timor in Indonesia.
It took him 47 days, during which he travelled 6,700 km. Casualty rate? Exactly one man, who was bludgeoned to death by residents of one of the islands the group stopped on for supplies.
Bligh had a pretty tempestuous career all told (he must have had some serious deja vu when he was deposed as governor of the Australian colony of New South Wales in 1808).
But whatever kind of person he was, it can certainly be said that there's no way he'd let a little thing like a mutiny AND being cast adrift thousands of miles from rescue get him down.

Kmart (sometimes stylized as K mart or kmart) is a chain of American discount department stores headquartered in Troy, Michigan, United States. The chain is currently owned by Kmart Corporation. The company was founded in 1962 and is the second largest discount store chain in the world, behind Walmart, with stores in the United States, Canada, Puerto Rico, the U.S. Virgin Islands, Eastern Europe, and Guam (which houses the world's largest Kmart). As of February 13, 2016, the company operated a total of 20,962 Kmart stores. In 2013 it had operated 16,221 in 50 states, Guam, Puerto Rico, Canada, Eastern Europe, and the U.S. Virgin Islands. Kmart's system includes discount stores, averaging 94,000 sq ft (8,700 m2), Big Kmart stores, which feature more produce and expanded pantry and Super Centers, averaging 168,000 sq ft (15,600 m2), and containing a full service supermarket in addition to a Kmart store's main services.
Kmart has become known for its "Blue Light Specials": they occur at surprise moments when a store worker will light up a mobile police light and offer a discount in a specific department of the store, while announcing the discounted special over the store's public address system. As Kmart's popularity has grown since the late 1970s, the phrase "Attention Kmart shoppers!" entered into the American pop psyche, appearing in films and other media such as Troop Beverly Hills, Six Days Seven Nights, Rain Man, Beetlejuice, Madea Goes to Jail and Dawn of the Dead.
Kmart's world headquarters are located in Troy, Michigan, in Metro Detroit. Kmart also exists in Australia and New Zealand (see Kmart Australia), although it now has no relation to the American stores except in name, after U.S. equity in the Australian business was purchased in the late 1970s.

Earlier this month, Coal India had replaced another Anil Ambani Group firm Reliance Infrastructure on the BSE's blue chip index Sensex
Mumbai: State-run Coal India (CIL) will replace Anil Ambani Group firm Reliance Capital in the National Stock Exchange's (NSE) Nifty index from 10th October, reports PTI.
Earlier this month, Coal India had replaced another Anil Ambani Group firm Reliance Infrastructure on the Bombay Stock Exchange's (BSE) blue chip index Sensex.
Shares of Coal India have been doing well since the company was listed in November last year and has become the third most valued firm after Reliance Industries and ONGC.
Apart from S&P CNX Nifty Index, there would be changes in CNX Nifty Junior Index, CNX 100 Index, S&P CNX 500 Index, CNX Midcap Index and sectoral indices among others.
The changes were announced on Thursday by India Index Services & Products (IISL), a joint venture between NSE and Crisil for managing Nifty.
Also, four other companies Bosch, Dabur India, Idea Cellular and Reliance Capital would be making their entry into CNX Nifty Junior Index from 10th October.
Entities that would move out of this index include Coal India, Patni Computer Systems, Punj Lloyd and Syndicate Bank.
The decision to revise constituents of various NSE indices was taken by the Index Committee of the Exchange during its periodic review.
Meanwhile, BSE also announced launch of futures and options (F&O) trading in Coal India with effect from 26th August.
BSE said in a circular that it has received approval from market regulator Securities and Exchange Board of India (SEBI) for introduction of F&O contract on Coal India.
Subsequently, F&O contracts of Coal India would start trading on BSE with effect from 26th August.
"The stock brokers and sub-brokers shall take adequate steps for redressal of grievances within one month from the date of receipt of the complaint. Failure to comply with the said requirement will render the stock broker liable for penal action," SEBI said in a circular issued on Thursday
Mumbai: Capital markets regulator Securities and Exchange Board of India (SEBI) on Thursday directed stock brokers and sub-brokers to redress investor complaints within a month of receiving them, saying that failure to do so would make them liable for penal action, reports PTI.
The direction comes a day after it announced that all investor complaints should be forwarded to it electronically through recently established, centralised database system, SEBI Complaints Redressal System (SCORES).
SCORES was operationalised in June to fast track the redressal of complaints against listed companies.
In a circular issued yesterday, SEBI said that it will also use SCORES to pursue grievances against stock brokers and sub-brokers with the concerned stock exchanges.
"The stock brokers and sub-brokers shall take adequate steps for redressal of grievances within one month from the date of receipt of the complaint and keep the investor/stock exchange(s) duly informed of the action taken thereon," it said.
The regulator added: "Failure to comply with the said requirement will render the stock broker liable for penal action."
It also asked stock exchanges to put in place a suitable mechanism to follow up with the stock brokers and sub-brokers on complaints redressal and devise a system to levy penalty on its members for any non-compliance with the requirements.
"... investor grievances received by SEBI against stock brokers and sub-brokers will be taken up electronically with the concerned stock exchange(s) through SCORES. The stock exchange(s) shall, in turn, take up the matter with the concerned stock brokers/sub brokers," SEBI said.
It has asked the exchanges to update the status of the complaints in SCORES at every stage, along with supporting documents.
SEBI has asked stock exchanges to make necessary changes in their rules and regulations to comply with the latest direction and send feedback on its implementation on a monthly basis.
Market intermediaries can view the complaints in the SCORES system by logging in with their user ID and password, which will be communicated separately by the regulator. SEBI will also send a daily alert on pending complaints at the e-mail ID registered with it for regulatory communications.
SCORES facilitates online movement of complaints to the concerned listed companies by enabling online upload of ATRs by these companies.
A motion will be brought to facilitate a combined discussion on the different versions of the Lokpal Bill. The discussion will be held under Rule 184 which entails voting, sources said last night
New Delhi: Going the extra mile to meet social activist Anna Hazare's major demand, the government will have a discussion in the Lok Sabha (lower house of Parliament) on Friday about the various versions of the Lokpal (anti-corruption) Bill, including the one brought out by Team Anna, reports PTI.
The discussion will be held under Rule 184 which entails voting, sources said last night.
A motion will be brought to facilitate a combined discussion on the Lokpal Bill, the Jan Lokpal Bill brought out by Anna Hazare as also the drafts prepared by activist Aruna Roy and Jai Prakash Narain, sources said.
While the exact wording of the motion is not immediately known, sources said the discussion could take place on the Jan Lokpal Bill in the shape of a 'document' and its salient features, after which the records of the debate are expected to be sent to the Parliamentary Standing Committee examining the Lokpal Bill.
A decision in this regard was reached during hectic parleys within the government and discussions held by finance minister Pranab Mukherjee with parliamentary affairs minister Pawan Bansal and law minister Salman Khurshid.

This may vary from database to database, but what does the following format mean and yield...
Today is "2013-08-01", and we are in the "21st century", so my understanding is that the above Date Format would yield...
[B]21[/B]13-08-01
If that is the case, then this definitely is NOT what my client thinks it means!!
It returns exactly what is says, centuryyear-month-day. For today, it would show 2013-08-01. We may be in the 21st century, but the numeric indicator is 20 (since the 1st century A.D. started with 0000)
I think Oracle is spot on.
Um, if you want to split hairs, the "Millenial Year" is "2", the "Century Year" is "0", the "Decade Year" is "1" and the "Year-Year" is "3" (i.e. 2+0+1+3)
So if you - not personally - want to be DIFFICULT, then why not have a new format like this...
M = Millenial
C = Century
D = Decade
Y = Year
YYYY has worked for the last 50 years, so why do we need a CCYY all of a sudden?! :rolleyes:
Personally, I think the whole "CC" idea is a asinine!! How many ways do you need to communicate something that already exists (i.e. YYYY = 4-digit year)?! :rolleyes:
Hmmmm....everything I've seen since the mid 90's has been CCYY - everything before that was YY (hence the chaos of the Y2K projects)
So use YYYY if it makes you more comfortable - it seems to be supported from what I can see......
Not trying to sound argumentative, but if everyone uses a 4-digit year (e.g. YYYY), then there would never be any issues, and introducing CCYY provides absolutely no additional value, right? (In fact, it creates a lot of ambiguity as we are discussing here?!)
I guess I have been away from databases for too long. Back when I was more into databases - including Oracle - in the early 2000's everything I ever saw was YYYY.
At any rate, as far as my client is concerned, my suspicions seem to be right, and we need to change the requirements, because saying CCYY is not what people want since we use Oracle!!
I wonder who came up with YYYY. It was always CCYY in all the references I saw back in the 1970s and 80.
CCYY is easier to distinguish from YY than YYYY is so back when two digit years were common there were good reasons for CCYY. Perhaps not so relevent now that all most all year fields use four digits (except for the Japanese ones that have a letter prefix on the year and so would presumably be ECCYY or EYYYY)

The Latest News On The API Economy
Searching: No Search Term , Filtered By API: "New York Times Congress"
How To Get The Most Out Of The New York Times API Suite
The New York Times API suite is most definitely among the top news APIs. In this post we will help you get the most out of these technical offerings from the newspaper.
Reporting with Data: How the New York Times Uses APIs
A couple of recent posts give great insight into how the New York Times uses APIs to enhance its news coverage. It uses its own APIs, both internal and open, to create responsive applications that can explain sports, politics and more.
NYTimes Shows How Civic APIs Should Be Built
Quick, what is your House of Representatives district? Many people don't know this number, or the member who represents them. The New York Times' new Districts API makes it easy for your application to answer the question for any point within New York City, though it could serve as a template for a nationwide--or even international--service.
The New York Times Upgrades Its Congress API - Lets You Compare Voting Records
The New York Times has announced that its increasingly popular Congress API has been upgraded to include additional features and data (more at our Congress API Profile).
The New York Times Enhances Congress API
The New York Times' (NYT) list of web services includes some impressive APIs that make it easier to access and track information about a range of interests, including best selling books, real estate, people, articles, and the United States Government. The NY Times development team has been incorporating feedback from users in order to make changes and improvements on a regular basis. Most recently, NYT developers answered a request from users to add information about bills and speeches to its Congress API:
New York Times API Recap
The tagline of the Times Open blog is "All the news that's fit to printf()", and that clever play on the paper's motto gains more credence with each new API released. In February the Times introduced the Newswire API, which "provides an up-to-the-minute stream of published items" from the paper of record, and the New York State Legislature API for tracking the political maneuverings in Albany.
The New York Times Releases Best Sellers API
Last month The New York Times released its own map mashup: Represent. This month the major media player has released a Best Sellers API, which provides developers with access to best sellers lists from several categories (view our new Times Best Sellers API profile).
US Congress Gets an API
The New York Times has just announced its new Congress API, which provides capability for developers to access to four sets of data about US Congressional representatives and their votes: "a list of members for a given Congress and chamber, details of a specific roll-call vote, biographical and role information about a specific member of Congress, and a member's most recent positions on roll-call votes" (see Congress API profile for details).

My friend Sabs from OnSugar is never without her camera, which is why she took this photograph outside of a beauty salon. She had no idea what the device was, and neither do I. My guess is that it's for weaving, braiding, or adding extensions to hair — but I could be wrong. It's a mystery to us; do you know what this is?
Join The Conversation
i mean, perming...
it is definitely a curling machine. i have seen it before.
haha Macgirl ... maybe for that you'd just use a waffle maker
The geek in me had to go google and see if the other type of perm was an analogue perm. ;-)
Oo, those work, then? Sorely tempted to try one, then! Then again it'd probably be beastly with my shorter hair.
Cool! I knew someone would know what it is. Sounds intriguing.
yeah it's a digital perm machine. my friend just got one and her hair looks great.
jrho is correct, it's a digital perm machine. lots of asian salons use it. it's not as harsh as a regular perm and give you nice and loose curls.
braid twister ?
i can't tell if those are cords or not, if they are, than it could be a machine for digital waves (perm for making soft loose waves).
maybe it a hair fusion machine?...that thing that fuses hair to each hair shaft..
At first glance I thought these were seaweed put there to dry. No idea!
Not a clue either, but this made me think of those little pink contraptions that were supposed to "braid" your hair.. I forget what they were called but essentially they would just twist your hair and occasionally get stuck or cause knots. The commercials were always on in the '90s.
No clue...

Over the hump
Thu Jul 13 2006
Not long ago, appearing in skin flicks shut off subsequent career options. But today, X-rated stardom is a better rsum builder than a Harvard M.B.A. To see what sorts of doors smut can open, TONY took a look at the not-so-naughty endeavors of four well-known XXX vets, ranking each on our vibrating scale of aprs-porn plausibility.—Ethan LaCroix
PORN STAR Heather Hunter
HORNY HIT FrankenHunter: Queen of the Porno Zombies, 1993
CROSSOVER MOVE New York native and AVN Hall of Famer Hunter—who retired from the bawdy biz in 1993—has recorded songs for Tommy Boy and Island. In June, she opened the gallery artcore-NYC (111 Front St, Studio 216, Dumbo, Brooklyn) to showcase her own and other artists' work.
PORN STAR Savanna Samson
HORNY HIT Where the Boys Aren't 16, 2004
CROSSOVER MOVE In 2005, Samson released the red wine Sogno Uno to surprising acclaim—it scored a 91 rating from influential wine critic Robert Parker. She followed up with the white wine Sogno Due last month; lines of olive oil and champagne are also reportedly in the works
PORN STAR Tom Judson (a.k.a. Gus Mattox)
HORNY HIT Michael Lucas' Dangerous Liaisons, 2005
CROSSOVER MOVE In addition to capping his porn career by winning the 2005 GayVN award for performer of the year, Judson (Gus Mattox is his porn alter ego) is a virtual Renaissance man. He's found success onstage (on and Off Broadway), composed songs for television and regularly gets work as a freelance writer.
PORN STAR Paris Hilton
CROSSOVER MOVE Perhaps best-known for her night-vision-lit performance alongside Rick Solomon in 1 Night, the widely reviled Hilton has also dabbled in acting, music and writing, and has launched various unimpressive products, including perfume and jewelry.

When Protein Breakdown Breaks Down: Bacterial toxin yields signs of Parkinson's
Certain compounds that hinder cells from destroying waste proteins can produce symptoms of Parkinson's disease in rats, researchers report. That finding could lead to a new animal model for studying the brain disorder. It also raises the possibility that environmental exposure to a class of compounds known as proteasome inhibitors explains some cases of Parkinson's in people.
In Parkinson's disease, neurons die in certain brain areas and abnormal proteins form clusters in other neurons there. Tremors, rigidity, sluggish movement, and balance problems mark the progressive ailment.
The majority of Parkinson's cases have no known cause, but some cases have been linked to genetic abnormalities that impair cells' capacity to break down proteins. Barrel-shaped structures known as proteasomes are part of the cellular machinery that normally disposes of molecular trash.
