In my mind, the validity of health trends is comparable to news articles found in US Weekly- meaning, I believe neither to hold much factual weight.
I took a few nutrition courses while attending Smith College. I learned a lot about how the body works and what it needs to function properly, but the big takeaway was when the teacher told us that these textbooks we were using would be moot in a few years due to the ever-changing landscape of the health and nutrition industry. Scientists are constantly experimenting, testing, researching, and hypothesizing. They do labs involving test subjects and statistics, which culminate into major claims about certain food or food products.
Bone broth, fats, turmeric, coconut water, collagen, lemon water, etc… have all had (or are having) their time in the spotlight. "Health" has become a trend in and of itself, which has prompted food stores, restaurants, and brands to incorporate these trending ingredients into their products and subsequent marketing of them.
That's not to say that science is always wrong. Consuming these trending health foods will probably not harm you in any way. In fact, the claims are sometimes correct. Healthy fat is good for you – the nutrients found in avocado, olive oil, coconut oil, and nuts have been scientifically proven to improve the quality of your hair and skin and lower your bad cholesterol, along with a number of other benefits. However, my concern comes from the claims that were founded through small study groups or outlandish hypotheses promoting the benefits of a certain food or food group. Usually, there are only one or two articles that come out if there isn't a lot of science to back up the claims, but with social media these days. Even the most minuscule piece of news can make its way onto the main stage of digital platforms.
Not everyone has the time or interest to look into every healthy trend that pops up. We want to stay healthy, so we do what those do around us. We eat the avocado toast with gluten free bread and hot sauce while sipping our bullet proof coffee because that's what the countless "health" bloggers are advising us to do. Because butter in coffee is proven to do what exactly? And what is the science to back that up? And has there even been enough time to prove what the longterm benefits of doing that are?
A few days ago, it came out in the news that turmeric has not actually been proven to do anything positive for our health or wellbeing (besides dye our towels and hands orange). And you know my thoughts on bone broth…
My point of this post/ramble is to be mindful and wary of trending ingredients or food items. Inform yourself, do the research, be particular and unique about what you choose to put into your body. I'm not saying smoothie supplements such as maca or pearl are going to harm you in any way, but you might as well save that $10 you're about to spend on bone broth and put it towards a whole roasted chicken because WE KNOW protein is good for you.
When in doubt, stick to the (Michael) Pollan way. "Eat food, not too much, mostly plants."

In the new Harvard Medical School (HMS) Center for Primary Care blog, Prime Time, Dr. Russell Phillips, William Applebaum Professor of Medicine at HMS and Director for the Center, states that recent tragedies have shed light on the United States' broken mental health system. He believes, however, that the recent expansion of access to primary care, as well as its restructuring can improve mental health care. He says:
"Primary care providers are patients' first and most frequent points of contact but often lack the resources to address mental health issues, despite the reality that more than 70 percent of primary care visits are related to psychosocial issues. Specialist mental health providers are a scarce resource and access is difficult for many struggling patients and primary care teams."
Innovations that can link psychiatrists and other mental health professionals to primary care are much needed. For instance, the patient-centered medical home incorporates care teams that consist of social workers in primary care. Studies show that positive outcomes such as improved health, reduced burn-out among primary care providers, and reduced health care costs result from integrating mental health care into primary care.

If you haven't heard of Bota Bota, you're missing out! Montreal's Old Port is home to one of the coolest spas: Bota Bota. It's on a boat docked in the Old Port, just waiting for you to climb aboard and treat yourself to an unforgettable experience. Here are five reasons to visit over and over again:
1. The Water Circuit
They offer an ongoing promotion during weekdays: $35 to do the Water Circuit either before 11:00am or after 6:00pm. This includes: multiple Nordic Baths of varying temperatures (from hot tubs to cold baths), a dry sauna, a steam room, two large swimming pools, and a silent hot pool at the front of the boat with a breathtaking view of the city's skyline. This circuit is the epitome of relaxation. Depending on what day and time you visit, the price can go up to $70.
2. Space Treatments
If you really want to get pampered, you can throw in an extra treatment or two. They offer: massages (therapeutic or relaxation), facials, manicures, pedicures, and mom-to-be treatments. These different additions cost anywhere from $10-$135. If you've had a long week and need a little rejuvenation, you know where to go.
3. Easy to Access Food and Drinks
When you arrive at Bota Bota you are given a robe, a towel, and a wristband with a FOB inside that allows you to walk around freely without having to carry any of your valuables. The FOB acts as a key to your locker as well as a personal ID number so that you can order food, drinks, and treatments that will then be charged directly to your card. Enjoy a refreshing Mojito, a delicious spaghetti squash salad or some seared salmon while takin in the sun on the deck.
4. Fitness Classes
For either $20 or $45 with access to the water circuit, there are pilates classes every Monday evening. Yoga classes are also on offer, combine it with the water circuit and you just might be the most relaxed you've ever been. An evening of fitness and relaxation at Bota Bota is the perfect detox, both physically and mentally.
5. The Atmosphere
You'll forget all about stress. Bota Bota is all about soothing the senses: the smell of essential oils, the sound of ambient spa music and the feel of comfy seating. There is also an entire floor where you can't speak.
Don't let stress get the best of you, go refresh! Bota Bota won't break the bank, so check out their water circuit and enjoy a treat from everyday life.

Where Is My Drive Space? 125GB Missing.
It is a big download as the installer also includes a 60mb boot disc. I tried to do just that but I was told there was insufficient space on my console. Under this situation, we had better decrease the space for page file or remove page file to save disk space. The smaller Max Usage is, the less space will be used for system protection. check over here
As far as anything being odd...not that I see, but certainly possible that I'm over looking something that would be obvious to others. I grabbed WD's diagnostic tool which shows a nice 250GB working perfectly, BIOS reports the drive correctly, and chkdsk finds no problems, on the 1/2 that it can see. There was absolutely no sign of where that missing space went (overly large files or strange partitions etc). I did this because I wanted a larger harddrive anyways. 0 Kudos Reply All Forum Topics Previous Topic Next Topic Forum Home Introduction Welcome & FAQs Community Spotlight Special Events Lenovo

Defense Logistics:
Plan to Improve Management of Defective Aviation Parts Should Be Enhanced
GAO-17-588R: Published: Aug 9, 2017. Publicly Released: Aug 9, 2017.
Additional Materials:
- Full Report:
(202) 512-5257
Office of Public Affairs
(202) 512-4800
What GAO Found
GAO's review of the Defense Logistics Agency's (DLA) management of defective aviation parts found that DLA's plan for corrective action partially addresses each of the four elements in the House report regarding deficiencies in DLA's management of defective aviation parts. These elements relate to: (1) coordinating and pursuing restitution; (2) searching inventory to identify and remove defective parts; (3) returning defective parts to contractors for replacement; and (4) tracking the status of returns and determining the appropriate form of restitution.
- The plan discusses coordination of efforts and restitution. Before restitution can be pursued, however, DLA needs to determine that the defect is the fault of the contractor. Information in the plan shows a large number of Product Quality Deficiency Reports (PQDR) with undetermined causes, but the plan does not explain how DLA will address defects with undetermined causes.
- The plan broadly discusses efforts for better identification of defective parts, but it does not explain how the search will result in the removal of defective parts from the Department of Defense (DOD) inventory.
- The plan broadly discusses processes that include the return of defective parts to the contractors that provided them, but it does not show how DLA will use these processes to aid in the replacement of defective parts.
- The plan discusses steps to improve coordination between entities responsible for the tracking of defective parts, and it addresses the tracking of the status of defective parts shipped back to contractors, but it does not specify how the appropriate form of restitution—replacement, repair, or refund—is to be provided.
DLA officials stated that they are continuing to refine and expand on their plan, and they provided documentation stating that management oversight now includes the review of metrics on the timeliness and completeness of actions taken by all review participants at DLA. Without having a plan that fully addresses noted deficiencies and recommended improvements, however, DLA management and Congress lack reasonable assurance that the appropriate corrective actions have been determined and can be effectively implemented, now or in the future.
Additionally, GAO found that DLA has taken steps since the issuance of the 2016 DOD Inspector General report to obtain restitution for defective parts and remove those parts from the inventory. Specifically, it has taken actions toward improving the way in which it documents and monitors the process for restitution. However, the results of these actions remain to be determined. DLA officials stated that these steps are relatively recent, they are aware of missing information, and they are working with the military services to gather the information.
Why GAO Did This Study
House Report 114-537 included a provision for GAO to assess whether the DLA plan ensures that DLA addresses each of the four mandated elements. GAO examined (1) the extent to which the plan addresses the elements in the House report regarding deficiencies in DLA's management of defective aviation parts; and (2) the steps DLA has taken since the issuance of the 2016 DOD Inspector General report to implement corrective actions to obtain restitution for defective parts and remove those parts from the inventory. For objective one, GAO reviewed DLA documents that officials collectively referred as the plan, and GAO identified and assessed the relevant parts of the plan relating to the four elements in the House report. For objective two, GAO reviewed DLA data on PQDRs closed from January 2014 through April 2016—including the data the DOD Inspector General recommended that DLA review for progress on obtaining restitution—and also reviewed open and closed PQDRs from September and October 2016.
What GAO Recommends
GAO recommends that the Secretary of Defense direct the Director of DLA to strengthen its plan to fully address all four of the mandated elements. These include: (1) coordination to pursue restitution, (2) inventory search, (3) return of defective parts, and (4) restitution in appropriate form.
For more information, contact Zina Merritt at 202-512-5257or email@example.com.
Recommendation for Executive Action
Status: Open
Comments: When we confirm what actions the agency has taken in response to this recommendation, we will provide updated information.
Recommendation: To help ensure that DLA has a plan that can effectively guide corrective actions relating to identified deficiencies in its defective spare parts restitution and removal process, the Secretary of Defense should direct the Director of DLA to strengthen its plan to fully address all four of the mandated elements. These include: (1) coordination to pursue restitution, (2) inventory search, (3) return of defective parts, and (4) restitution in appropriate form.

Radical Guide to Online Bond Investing: The Costs of Online Trading
Joseph Schumpeter, the great Austrian economist, once wrote this about small-scale retail shops (in our guide, retail bond dealers): "He (the small retail dealer) can never adapt himself to the methods of his competitors who can afford to sell at the price at which he buys."
As true as Schumpeter's words are for online equities trading commissions, his words are becoming more true for online bond trading. Competitive, online trading will place cost structures under the spotlight. Customer trades will tend to flow to the lower-cost bond provider --- namely, the dealer with the lowest inventory or search costs.
A recent study by Forbes could not say --- with any definitive statement --- which dealer is the cheapest on any bond product. In the nature of over-the-counter dealer markets, it is impossible to reach conclusions on best pricing. But generally, benefits to the customer from online trading are:
- In the online multidealer marketplace, retail dealers reduce spreads to remain competitive.
- Online bond trading has opened up poorly traded markets (mainly, below-investment-grade bond markets) to more trade flow and competition.
- Online bond trading creates an accessible audit trail. A small point? With this trail, dealers understand that verifiable market quotes matter. They have to put their best quotes forward; the SEC and NASD are watching the tape.
These retail platforms are now a fact in the retail bond market --- delivering real savings benefits to the retail investor.

I'm trying to set up my services in the IT Services area. It seems that the software doesn't really understand the concept of one vendor with multiple accounts. For example, I've got 3 different Verisign SSL Certificates. They each have their own expiration date. I can't set them all up as one service because there aren't multiple contract expirations. When I try to set them up as 3 separate services, I have to call them Verisign 1, Verisign 2, Verisign 3 because the name has to be unqiue.
Am I missing something?

Your right, at the moment Spiceworks doesnt know about mutiple accounts as B-C said you could use a better naming convetion.
If you really want this make a feature request and people will spice it up and it may get implemented in a future version.

One restaurant that has been getting a lot of PR lately is the brand new 99 Restaurant. I am not joking when I say; I practically saw a write-up or story about 99 Restaurant in all the print media I got my hands on in one week. With so much hype...we had to try it.
99 Restaurant is an in-house restaurant of a super duper upscale residence (all owned by a hi-so family) out on Patthanakarn...at first; I had to say 'where?'. It truly seemed like the restaurant was up-country. However; once we arrived, we were pleasantly surprised how lovely the place was.
The concept of 99 Restaurant is to serve Western & Thai comfort food developed by chef Ian Kittichai (one of Bankgok's celebrity chefs) who has made Hyde & Seek famous. The style of the food at 99 Restaurant is very similar to Hide & Seek.
99 Restaurant has a huge (I really really mean huge) tropical garden where there is out-door dining area but it was raining the evening we went so we had to eat inside. The long room is furnished with dark stained garden furniture; which is a smart idea to extend the concept from the outdoor garden to the inside decor.
The floor is covered with dark stone; the walls are covered with dark woods and the restaurant is surrounded by large glass windows. The lighting is strategically placed to give the restaurant a dark & somber ambiance.
The first starter was Organic new seasons green salad...kirk's hydroponics farm, poached egg, asparagus, creamy balsamic (220 baht).
The second starter was Crispy calamari...semolina crusted, zucchini, capers, garlic aioli (230 baht).
The first main dish was White fish of the day...pan-seared whole fish fillet, organic baby vegetables, seafood bisque (395 baht).
The second main dish was The first main dish was Salmon fillet...pan-seared Atlantic salmon, buttered sugar snap peas, safflower-volute (395 baht)..
The dessert was Hot green tea chocolate fondant...green tea creme anglais (120 baht).
Actually; after sitting in the dining room for a while, we realized that the dining room looked like a modern green house.
The entrance of the restaurant has a round wooden table show casing the desserts of the night. Very clever idea to temp us right away when people enter the restaurant.
Then entrance to the restaurant (my camera lens was fogged leaving the restaurant..but I liked the effect to the photo).
The large sign outside to let customers that they have arrived.
Overall; the restaurant had a nice atmosphere, ambiance and a certain charm to it (though it was freezing inside). The decor was well thought out for the lay-out of the place. The food was not the most sophisticated but it was honest comfort food with a twist. The raw ingredients were fresh and of good quality. The food was cooked well and presented well. The flavours of the dishes we had were well balanced and delicious. The prices were reasonable for such a hi-so place. And finally the service was friendly and efficient. All in all; with a combination like all that I mentioned; this was really nice & pleasant place to go. We are already planning to go back so that we can experience the garden dining.

My problem with the ending of Skyfall is that Bond fails spectacularly and yet some how gets to keep his job. It also tried to shoehorn in the status quo from the early movies without it making any sense (Fienes become M even though his previous position had more power than M and Moneypenny, despite being an excellent field agent, decides to work behind a desk).
Your criticism about the ending of Skyfall doesn't seem right to me.It's a reversal of the start where M is willing to sacrifice Bond. At the end she's willing to sacrifice herself by going along with Bond's plan.
I love Skyfall though, it's probably my favourite Bond movie.
Tried watching Spectre last night - completely lost the plot after he boned the Italian widow and just spent the rest of the film daydreaming between fight scenes. Juxtapose that with Skyfall, which hooked me instantly and was on board with the whole time.
I had a similar response. I watched Spectre until shortly after that point, with the car chase with Batista, then switched it off and went to bed. That was several weeks ago and I still haven't the interest to go back and finish the movie.
Except that his job is to protect M. His plan got the head of the British Secret service killed!
I had never thought of it that way, but yeah. I liked that at the end of the film Bond is surrounded by Kincaid and M - the person who taught him how to shoot and the person who gave him a target. The relationship between Bond and M is a sort of son/mother thing and reflected in her relationship to Silva. She gave Silva up and did the same for Bond. When it comes to it, Bond tries to save her. Silva comes to destroy her.
Just a random question from a dumb Yank: Do Brits feel a sense of patriotism in regards to Bond? I can't think of an American action franchise I would feel that way towards...like a "that's OUR boy!"
I think so.I feel more patriotic towards Bond than the country itself.
Captain America. I'm not a fan of Chris Evans, but an American has to play him.
Of course, Bond's been played by a Scot, an Australian and an Irish man. And while Scotland is part of the UK, Bond is frequently seen as quintessentially English, it's only with the advent of Daniel Craig that even half the actors playing the character have actually been English.
At the same time though, I think there would be a minor outcry if they cast an American in the role.
I mean, you can take these things too far, old boy.
I know exactly what you mean
Ha! I have to admit, that version was in my mind as I was typing my last post.
At least it's non-canon!
I've always thought it was funny that Roger Moore is pure Cockney. His RP accent came courtesy of Officers training during his National service and RADA.
Absolutely. I think that's the case now.
My in laws took a violent dislike to Skyfall because it didn't match up to their idea of what James Bond should be. People have a very certain view of what a James Bond movie should be. And a lot of that was stripped away with Daniel Craig, but I don't think that making him American would be acceptable. Not sure about him being played by an American though.
However Cubby Broccolli was apparently looking at John Gavin, Burt Reynolds and Adam West for Bond (for Diamonds are Forever I think...open to correction).
And Barry Nelson was the first actor to play "Card Sense Jimmy Bond" in the Casino Royale TV play back in the 50's (I once got into an argument at a pub quiz over the question about who was the first actor to play James Bond on screen Apparently Pub quiz organisers don't like a smart ass ).
Timothy Dalton was born in Wales. Only Craig and Moore have been fully English and played the role.
True. Although Bond is half Scots half Swiss, so there is that...but that was really just shoehorned in by Fleming in the later novels to give him a little bit of colour and make him seem as a bit different from the rest of the herd.
Keeping in mind that the novels came out in the post war austerity period. Bond drinks coffee rather than tea (which he calls mud and responsible for the fall of the British Empire). He drinks Bourbon rather than Scotch. All of that stuff was a bit aspirational.
Which wasn't really related to what you were saying at all...pardon me. Enthusiasm running away with me again.
Could you elaborate on what you mean by "what their idea of james bond should be"?
I actually find this very fascinating, because other than Steve Rogers, I can't really think of an American equivalent.
What qualities make this character beloved to your countrymen?
I should stress at the outset that I'm Irish and not British. James Bond is beloved by my countrymen, but probably for the same reasons that he's popular everywhere else.
Why did my in laws not like Skyfall? They are entitled to their opinion, and I think that they aren't alone in feeling this way, that the Bond movies got a bit too serious. They weren't fun any more. Bond was falling to pieces and not the suave adventurer that people know and love. Probably borrowing too liberally from Bourne to be honest. Kingsman is entirely built on that premise.
From my point of view, there are as many different iterations of James Bond as there are of Batman. There's the original Fleming Bond, Connery, Lazenby, Moore etc. etc. All of them riff on the original and do their own things. They all very much reflect the era that they came from.


text: Panama - Cultural Crossroad Panama is the wild west of diving in the Americas - a place where a sense of adventure thrives, and divers explore the brink of an untamed frontier. Come up for air and find much of the same raw character in endless tropical rainforests, on scores of palm-fringed islands laced by reefs, and in remote territories where local peoples like the Bribri and Kuna live as they have for centuries. But there's quirky contrast, too. Just a four-hour flight separates this Central American nation from Houston. Upon arriving, the ties to the States seem many: a modern central infrastructure thanks to Uncle Sam's canal, dead U.S. presidents on the official currency and a wealth of emigrant investors. And for expat hopefuls wanting to quickly assimilate, Panama provides a cultural crossroad where nationalities easily mix and an emerging hub for Americans looking to stretch retirement dollars or to invest in tourism trade - and realize a dream. Jim Kimball has made good on such a dream. After cashing out of his petrochemical career in Houston, he and his wife teamed with a business partner to scout the Caribbean in search of a remote location on which to build an eco-lodge. "We liked the Caribbean because we didn't want to go halfway around the world," he says. After a deal fell through in Belize in 1998, the Kimball clan pushed south. The next year they arrived in Panama and felt they'd stumbled upon paradise. "Bocas del Toro (a Panamanian province) was pretty raw then, but it had an airstrip and flights to Panama City. The diving and fishing potential is quite literally off the charts," he explains. With the surrounding 28,600 marine acres of Isla Bastimentos National Marine Park dedicated as a marine habitat, Kimball knew the area would stay relatively undeveloped, its reefs pristine. "So much of the marine park has never even been explored under the surface, and many dive sites are unnamed," he says. After five years of struggle - from finding decent workers and sourcing construction materials to installing a $10,000 generator and building a 150-foot-tall Wi-Fi antenna - his Tranquilo Bay eco-lodge opened on a private island several miles south of town. "I didn't pay bribes; I demanded inspectors follow the rules and got a good attorney who knows the law," Kimball recounts. Now, Tranquilo Bay sees divers and adventurers weekly. Kimball's family has grown to include two children - who have yet to discover the joys of TV, much less cable. No traffic, no war coverage. Nothing but an idyllic life on a Panamanian island. "It's all very liberating and frees up your mind, like stepping back in time," he says. "I can't imagine a better life." Quick Guide On a private island in the Bocas del Toro Archipelago, tranquilo bay (tranquilobay.com) eco-lodge provides guests diving at exclusive "no other divers in sight" locations within three to 15 miles.

Objective To compare the risk of ectopic pregnancy (EP) after embryo transfer on day 3(D3-ET) and day 5(D5-ET). Design Meta-analysis Patients Women with pregnancy resulting from in vitro undergoing in vitro fertilization (IVF) or intracytoplasmic sperm injection (ICSI) Result(s) Twenty-two studies were identified through research conducted using the PubMed, Embase, and Cochrane databases and ClinicalTrials.gov. All studies were conducted prior to October 2016. Adding the reproductive data from our center, a total of 143 643 pregnancies were reviewed(D3-ET: n = 62027,D5-ET:n = 81616). A lower EP rate was found in women undergoing D5-ET than in those undergoing D3-ET [relative risk (RR), 0.67;95% confidence interval (CI), 0.54-0.85;143643 pregnancies in 23 studies; I2 = 67%]. These results were validated in subgroups of fresh embryo-transfer (Fre-ET) cycles [RR, 0.78; 95%CI, 0.69-0.88; 91 871 pregnancies in 21 studies; I2 = 29%] and frozen-thawed embryo-transfer (Fro-ET) cycles [RR, 0.43; 95%CI, 0.36-0.51; 51 772 pregnancies in 10 studies; I2 = 33%]. After separating out the randomized controlled trials (RCTs), a significant difference was found in the retrospective studies in both subgroups [both Fre-ET (RR,0.78;95% CI 0.69-0.88);91182 pregnancies in 14 studies; I2 = 45%] and Fro-ET(RR,0.43;95%CI 0.36-0.51; 51751 pregnancies in 9 studies; I2 = 33%)], while the RCTs showed no statistical significance for Fre-ET cycles [RR,0.86;95% CI 0.32-2.26); 689 pregnancies in 7 studies; I2 = 0%]. Conclusion(s) The present study indicates that D5-ET reduces the risk for EP in cycles that use IVF or ICSI, compared with D3-ET. It suggests that D5-ET may be a better choice for decreasing the EP rate in assisted reproductive technology. Further high-quality randomized controlled trials are anticipated. © 2017 Zhang et al.This is an open access article distributed under the terms of the Creative Commons Attribution License, which permits unrestricted use, distribution, and reproduction in any medium, provided the original author and source are credited.

MicroRNAs (miRNAs) have been improved to regulate oocyte development in a cell- or stage-specific manner. In this study, we aimed to clarify microRNA-224′s (miR-224) role in cumulus cells (CCs), to find out whether a change level of miR-224 in CCs could influence the maturation of oocyte. We found that overexpression of miR-224 of CCs led to the impairment of cell expansion, along with a decrease in the gene expression associated with cell expansion and maturation of oocyte. The increased expression of miR-224 in CC interrupted oocyte cell cycle at the GV stage. The GDF9, BMP15 and ZP3 of the oocytes were also down-regulated. The following in vitro fertilization had yielded a lower number of oocytes from cumulus-oocyte complexes (COCs) overexpressing miR-224 when reaching the blastocyst stage. The suppressive effect of miR-224 in the maturation of COC is validated by the miR-224 knockdown model, where the expansion of cumulus cell was increased and oocyte was developed to MII stage. In addition, the expression of aromatase in CCs was down-regulated by miR-224, resulting in a decreased level of estradiol (E2). A further investigation found that miR-224 down-regulated the expression of protein and mRNA of Ptx3 by targeting its 3'UTR. Our study revealed that miR-224 regulates the gene expression and function of CCs, which influences the maturation of oocyte, at least in part, via targeting Ptx3. © 2016 Elsevier Ireland Ltd

Study Question Are there any correlations between the phenotypes of polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) and the genotypes of the PCOS susceptibility single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in THADA, DENND1A and LHCGR? Summary Answer The PCOS susceptibility genes, THADA and DENND1A, carry risk alleles that are associated with endocrine and metabolic disturbances in patients with PCOS. What is Known AlreadyPCOS is a heterogeneous endocrinopathy characterized by oligo-anovulation, hyperandrogenism and polycystic ovaries. In a previous genome-wide association study, the SNP variants rs13429458, rs12478601, rs2479106, rs10818854 and rs13405728 in the THADA, DENND1A and LHCGR genes were identified as being independently associated with PCOS. The aim of this study was to identify any additional correlations between the phenotypes of PCOS and genotypes of the five SNPs described in the previous study. Study Design , Size, DurationIn the present cross-sectional study, a total of 1731 PCOS patients and 4964 controls were enrolled. Participants/Materials, Setting , Method SPatients were diagnosed according to Rotterdam criteria. Clinical information was collected from the patients and controls. Endocrine and metabolic parameters were evaluated for phenotype-genotype correlation analyses. Main Results and the Role of Chance Using a recessive model, the AA group for rs13429458 in THADA was associated with increased luteinizing hormone (LH) (P < 0.01) and testosterone (T) (P = 0.02) levels in subjects with PCOS; the LH/follicle-stimulating hormone ratio was also higher in the AA group (P < 0.01). Also using a recessive model, the CC genotype of rs12478601, also in THADA, was associated with increased levels of low-density lipoprotein (P = 0.02). Using a dominant model, the GG + AG group for rs2479106 in DENND1A was associated with elevated serum insulin levels 2 h after a glucose load in the patients with PCOS (P = 0.02). All of the comparisons were adjusted for age and BMI. Limitations , Reasons for Caution The relatively younger age of the participants may represent a considerable bias when evaluating metabolic alterations as a function of different genotypes, as significant metabolic disturbances may emerge later in life. Furthermore, the sample sizes of several sub-genotype groups were relatively small; to some extent this limited the statistical power of the analysis. Wider Implications of the FindingsThe PCOS susceptibility genes, THADA and DENND1A, carry risk alleles that are associated with endocrine and metabolic disturbances in PCOS patients of Han Chinese descent. The findings have shown genuine heterogeneity, stratified on the basis of both clinical findings and genotypes. Replication of these results is expected in other ethnic groups.

study question: What is the direct genetic contribution of the polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) susceptibility single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs), identified by previous genome-wide association studies (GWAS) to the definitive clinical features of the syndrome? summaryanswer: Each single PCOS clinical feature had a specific genetic association, and rs4385527 in the chromosome 9 open reading frame 3 (C9orf3) conferred a particular risk to the three defined PCOS clinical features in this study, which suggested its fundamental role in the etiology of PCOS. what is known already: PCOS is a heterogeneous disorder characterized by anovulation (OA), hyperandrogenism (HA) and polycystic ovary morphology (PCOM). Two previous GWAS in China have identified 15 independent susceptibility SNPs related to PCOS (PCOS-SNPs). However, little is known about the candidate gene of each clinical feature. study design, size, duration: Case-control study. Three independent groups of women were recruited from 2010 to 2012: 746 subjects with OA only, 278 subjects with HA only and 536 subjects with PCOM only. A total of 1790 healthy women with none of the above pathological characteristics were also enrolled as control subjects during the same time period. participants/materials, setting, methods: All participants were women of reproductive age. Genotype and allelic frequencies of 15 PCOS-SNPs were determined in all subjects using direct sequencing and Sequenom Arrays. The allelic frequencies of each case group were compared with the controls. main results and the role of chance: After adjustment for age and BMI, variants in luteinizing hormone/choriogonadotropin receptor (LHCGR) (rs13405728), C9orf3 (rs4385527) and insulin receptor gene (INSR) (rs2059807) were strongly associated with OA (Padjust < 0.01,0.001 and,0.05, respectively); rs4385527 inC9orf3was strongly associatedwithHA(Padjust< 0.001); variants in the thyroid adenomaassociated gene (THADA) (rs13429458 and rs12478601), DENN/MADD domain containing 1A (DENND1A)(rs10818854), and C9orf3 (rs4385527) were significantly associated with PCOM (Padjust < 0.01,0.001,0.05 and,0.001, respectively). limitations, reasons for caution: The sample size of some case groups was relatively small, which therefore limited the statistical power of the analysis to a certain extent. wider implications of the findings: The present study indicates a potential common genetic basis of three PCOS clinical features. Other specific associated genes may play a synergistic role, leading to heterogeneous pathophysiological changes. Additionally, the increased frequency of PCOS-risk alleles in women with single PCOS clinical features suggests that these subjects have an elevated risk of developing the syndrome, although they cannot be currently diagnosed. study funding/competing interest(s): This research was supported by the National Basic Research Program of China (973 Program) (2012CB944700, 2011CB944502), the National Key Technology Research and Development Program(2011BAI17B00), the National Natural Science Foundation of China (81430029, 81201441, 81490743, 31371453), the Scientific Research Foundation of Shandong Province of Outstanding Young Scientist (2012BSE27089) and the Fundamental Research Funds of Shandong University(2014GN025).

BACKGROUND: Polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) is a complex endocrine-metabolic disorder. A previous genome-wide association study (GWAS) identified five single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) which were independently associated with PCOS in Han Chinese. To overcome population stratication, a family-based analysis was conducted to validate whether these five SNPs are associated with PCOS. METHODS: A total of 276 family trios (828 participants) having a proband with PCOS were included in the family-based study. The transmission disequilibrium test (TDT) was used to analyze the association between PCOS and five SNPs rs13429458, rs12478601, rs13405728, rs10818854 and rs2479106 in three susceptible loci 2p16.3, 2p21 and 9q33.3. RESULTS: A positive association was observed for the SNP rs13429458 (P 3.74 × 10 5). CONCLUSIONS: TDT confirms that SNP rs13429458, in the THADA gene, is significantly associated with risk of PCOS. This family-based analysis enhances our previous casecontrol GWAS and provides further support for the role of susceptibility loci in PCOS. © The Author 2011.

Following a previous genome-wide association study (GWAS 1) including 744 cases and 895 controls, we analyzed genome-wide association data from a new cohort of Han Chinese (GWAS 2) with 1,510 polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) cases and 2,016 controls. We followed up significantly associated signals identified in the combined results of GWAS 1 and 2 in a total of 8,226 cases and 7,578 controls. In addition to confirming the three loci we previously reported, we identify eight new PCOS association signals at P < 5 × 10-8: 9q22.32, 11q22.1, 12q13.2, 12q14.3, 16q12.1, 19p13.3, 20q13.2 and a second independent signal at 2p16.3 (the FSHR gene). These PCOS association signals show evidence of enrichment for candidate genes related to insulin signaling, sexual hormone function and type 2 diabetes (T2D). Other candidate genes were related to calcium signaling and endocytosis. Our findings provide new insight and direction for discovering the biological mechanisms of PCOS. © 2012 Nature America, Inc.

Our previous genome-wide association study identified LH/choriogonadotropin receptor (LHCGR) as a susceptibility gene for polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS). The objective of this study was to determine whether the genetic or epigenetic components associated with LHCGR participate in the pathogenesis of PCOS. The exons and flanking regions of LHCGR were sequenced from 192 women with PCOS, and no novel somatic mutations were identified. In addition, the methylation statuses of 6 cytosine-phosphate-guanine (CpG) sites in the promoter region of LHCGR were measured by pyrosequencing using peripheral blood cells from 85 women with PCOS and 88 control women. We identified 2 hypomethylated sites, CpG -174 (corrected P = .018) and -111 (corrected P = .006). Bisulfite sequencing then was performed to replicate these findings and detect additional CpG sites in the promoter. CpG +17 was significantly hypomethylated in women with PCOS (corrected P = .02). Methylation statuses were further evaluated using granulosa cells (GCs), and the region described was hypomethylated as a whole (P = .004) with 8 significantly hypomethylated sites (CpG -174, -148, -61, -43, -8, +10, +17, and +20). Transcription of LHCGR was elevated in women with PCOS compared with that in control women (P = .01). These findings were consistent with the decreased LHCGR methylation status associated with PCOS. The tendency of LHCGR to be hypomethylated across different tissues and its corresponding expression level suggest that hypomethylation of LHCGR is a potential mechanism underlying susceptibility to PCOS. Further studies are needed to evaluate whether a causal relationship exists between LHCGR methylation status and PCOS. Copyright © 2014 by the Endocrine Society.

Recurrent spontaneous abortion (RSA) is a health problem that affects approximately 1% to 5% reproductive age woman. Yet, in around half of these patients, the mechanism for RSA is unexplained. Recent studies have indicated that placental ischemia/hypoxia and endothelial dysfunction are important factors in miscarriage. Other studies have indicated that the level and expression of soluble FMS-like tyrosine kinase-1 (sFlt1) is increased under a hypoxic environment. However, decreased sFlt-1 in the maternal circulation during the first trimester has recently been proposed as a potential marker for identifying risk of pregnancy loss. In this prospective study clinical samples were obtained within a short time after the fetal death, protein expression and maternal serum levels of sFlt1 were assessed and compared to samples taken from those with normal pregnancies. Our results indicate that levels of VEGF and sFlt-1 are both increased in women during early pregnancy compared women that are not pregnant (p<0.05) indicating that VEGF and sFlt-1 are both associated with pregnancy. More importantly, we detected a significant (p<0.05) increase in sFlt1 and VEGF levels and expression in the RSA patients who suffered subsequent miscarriages compare to controls. These results demonstrate that there is likely a relationship between VEGF, sFlt-1 and RSA suggesting that the high levels and over expression of sFlt-1 and VEGF might be associated with the pathogenesis of RSA. © 2013 Pang et al.

Objective To investigate the effect of fibroids that do not distort the endometrial cavity on IVF/intracytoplasmic sperm injection (ICSI) outcomes and to identify certain fibroid subgroups that may be deleterious to fertility outcomes. Design Retrospective cohort study. Setting University-based reproductive medicine center. Patient(s) A total of 10,268 patients undergoing IVF/ICSI between 2009 and 2011 in our unit. Intervention(s) Transvaginal ultrasound and hysteroscopy; controlled ovarian hyperstimulation and IVF/ICSI; strict matching criteria. Main Outcome Measure(s) Cycle cancellation, clinical pregnancy, miscarriage, and delivery rates. Result(s) We included 249 patients with fibroids who underwent IVF/ICSI. Higher day 3 FSH levels were found in women with fibroids compared with in control subjects. No significant differences were found in IVF/ICSI outcomes between the two groups. Patients with intramural fibroids with the largest diameter <2.85 cm or the sum of reported diameters <2.95 cm had a significantly higher delivery rate than patients with larger fibroids. A significant negative effect on delivery rate was noted when intramural fibroids with the largest diameter greater than 2.85 cm were considered, compared with matched controls without fibroids. Conclusion(s) Our results suggest that although non-cavity-distorting fibroids do not affect IVF/ICSI outcomes, intramural fibroids greater than 2.85 cm in size significantly impair the delivery rate of patients undergoing IVF/ICSI. © 2014 American Society for Reproductive Medicine, Published by Elsevier Inc.

Jeep Wrangler
I think this version lends itself very well to being a good platform for a Gladiator.
interesting.....I like it. When I first heard "4 door Wrangler" I winced. I think they got it right though.
Your right Paul, you can definitely see how the Gladiator could be made from this.
scottsburg4 Posts: 1I have a 87' wrangler with a 4.2 liter 258. I believe the transmission is made by peugoet. Will the 2.5 L4 engine from that year fit the tranny? Thanks Brian
pblythe Posts: 1My 2006 TJ Sahara overheats whenever it is going uphill. I've replaced the thermostat, had it power flushed twice, and added a higher capacity radiator. Nothing seems to help. Any ideas?
Only uphill? If it is a 2006, I'd take it to the dealer and have them figure it out. Perhaps the coolant isn't cycling - water pump maybe? I dunno.
I believe the transmissions are different between the 4 and 6 cylinder engines. That said, I don't know if the mating points are the same. Mac would probably know though.
Why have you added a higher capacity radiator? The standard radiator is more than adequate and shouldn't need flushing on a new vehicle.
You possibly have a head gasket problem which appears under load, i.e. when going uphill. Let your dealer take care of it under warranty.
I have a 87' wrangler with a 4.2 liter 258. I believe the transmission is made by peugoet. Will the 2.5 L4 engine from that year fit the tranny?
I'm not sure, but probably not. The Peugeot BA10/5 was only used on the 4.2 from '87 until early '89, and I'm not aware of a bellhousing to suit the 2.5.
Why not do things a little differently. First, the Peugeot transmission is possibly the worst ever fitted to a Jeep. Next, the 2.5 isn't the greatest of engines in a Wrangler, and the fuel consumption is about the same as the 4.0. The 2.5 will also struggle with the gearing of your axles.
Just a thought, but why not consider dropping in a later 4.0?
randyace Posts: 96Hello, everyone.
Thought I'd share something I did to my dash. I wanted to do something to offset the stark gray interior, adding some contrast and a bit of customizing. Instead of getting a resin dash kit with pieces I don't want (at a big price), I used some leftover marine vinyl to make a few dash "inserts".
The pics show my first prototypes. After making a template and cutting them, I sprayed the back with spray-on adhesive purchased at WalMart. I simply pressed them in place and held in place for a minute or two.
The adhesive is semi-permanent, so they're removable if you get tired of them, or just want to change the design. I pulled one of the two pieces you see on the shift boot plate off 3 days after I put it on, and it removed easily. The slight adhesive residue left on the boot plate came off easily with a damp rag.
I know this isn't for everyone, but for someone like me who likes a bit of contrast to an all-gray (or whatever) interior, this is a very inexpensive..and fun...way to "change things up a bit".
Just thought I'd share!

Here's a closeup of the interior. I'll bet everyone on this forum will notice very quickly which lever is missing...

skyking49 Posts: 112I have an 06 Wrangler X. After a short drive I can hear a hissing sound coming from the front of the radiator. It it not overheating and may be normal...any suggestions or comments from folks that have heard the same sound?
wpowell Posts: 125Does this happen only after a short drive? It is likely coolant flowing from the radiator into the overflow jug. The coolant heats up after the engine is shut down which will often cause it to overflow. Then, as it cools down it is pulled back into the radiator. This is all very normal stuff. You aren't losing any coolant, right?
yjohn Posts: 32I'm looking for some advice on fixing rust out on my YJ. My main problem areas are on the sides, just below the JEEP stamp below the doors. I hear that many have this problem. Anyway, I was wondering what the best approach would be. I have seen that replacement panels are available from JC Whitney, but I wonder if it would just be better to weld in patches myself. If anyone has experience with this, I would really like some advice.
jimlw2 Posts: 122I wonder if that implies it'll have an AWD option or use a push-button to engage 4-Hi/4-Low rather than a transfer case lever?
salemny Posts: 2I have a 89 jeep with leaf springs and track bar. I've replaced the shocks but I'm getting a clunck when the jeep shifts weight from side to side.Like when pulling into a
driveway or parking lot. I can't firgure out what it is!!
Going down the road it drives fine. something is a miss though.. PLEASE HELP........... :sick:
Most likely, I'd bet that those interior pics are of a 2WD version. The 4 door version is available with 2WD only as an option (blasphemy IMO). 4WD will be available.
It really depends on your welding and bodywork skills. There's nothing with putting in a patch as long as the surrounding metal is sound. Make sure you do a stepped flange, rather than a butt or overlap joint. A small MIG welder is perfectly adequate for this kind of repair.
That sounds plausible. There appears to be a "dent" or hole where you would expect the transfer case shifter to be. That may mean that the shifter would be there on a 4wd model.
A 2wd Wrangler. Weird. Not since the DJ...
stever Posts: 52,572Here's the Edmunds blurb and pics:
Jeep Unveils Stretched 2007 Wrangler (Inside Line)

Steve, Host
2wd Wrangler :confuse: makes no sense to me.
"The Chrysler Group brand says the Wrangler Unlimited will feature hundreds of different top, door and windshield combinations..."
tidester Posts: 10,059hundreds?!?
You can accomplish that with as few as 7 or 8 options.
tidester, host
Do I also see that they call it a 5 passenger Unlimited? Isn't the current version of the Unlimited only a 4 passenger?
Very interesting.
The dial that changes heat/vent/air has stopped working on my '99 TJ(or so I thought). Heat/air is only blowing through the defrost slot, no matter what setting it's on.
I bought a new control panel, installed it, and to my dismay the problem is still there. Does this ring a bell with anybody. Any ideas what might be going on?
I think I found the answer. A TSB from '99 about the door vacuum actuator.
Heater & A/C - Will Not Switch To Panel Mode
GROUP: Heating & A/C
DATE: July 2, 1999
The Heating and A/C System will not switch to the instrument panel outlet mode.
This bulletin involves installing a panel/demist door vacuum actuator.
1999 (TJ) Wrangler
1999 (XJ) Cherokee
The heating and NC system may not switch to the panel mode. This could be caused by a leaking diaphragm in the panel/demist door vacuum actuator. This symptom could be intermittent and system could switch back and forth from the panel mode while driving.
Apply vacuum to the panel/demist door actuator using a hand actuated vacuum pump containing a vacuum gauge. The actuator should hold vacuum indefinitely. If the vacuum bleeds off, the diaphragm is leaking. Perform the Repair Procedure.
1 04864995 Panel/demist Door Vacuum Actuator
1. Disconnect and isolate the negative battery cable.
2. Remove the knee blocker from the instrument panel.
3. Unplug the vacuum line from the actuator (See Figure 1).
4. Insert a trim stick or other suitable wide flat-bladed tool into the actuator mount latch hole to release the latch and gently pry the actuator outwards to remove it from the mount (See Figure 2).
5. Rotate and tilt the actuator to as required to disengage the actuator link from the door lever. Remove the actuator.
6. Install the new actuator, p/n 04864995, by installing the link onto the door lever.
7. Install the actuator onto the mount.
8. Connect the vacuum line.
9. Install the knee blocker.
10. Connect the negative battery cable.

Yeeehawww! :shades:
A bunch more pics at Jeep.com, including a Rubi with half doors and hard top versions. Pretty sharp.
Nice. I like the half doors. I wonder if the uppers are cloth or if they just use sliders now...
I agree, Paul, I think the half doors look really good.
goducks1 Posts: 432Rather than pay $125 or whatever to quadtratec I made my own. Used it today. Nicked the wood from a construction site down the street (aka the 2x4 relay) and the berber carpet from a neighbor who was replacing hers. $10 were for the 4 wheels on the bottom from Home Depot, 2 fixed and 2 swivel.

Why NJ music fans are shocked, disgusted, confused about 'free' Ticketmaster tickets
It had been a banner week for music fans in New Jersey — what could be better than free Ticketmaster tickets?
On Monday, we learned many of us who attended shows over a 12-year span had codes for free shows or for discounts waiting in out accounts — the result of a class-action lawsuit. You didn't need to do anything special other than check your account and redeem the code.
But the company continued to find new ways of rankling those who've shelled out their hard-earned cash for tickets. Tuesday, a list of concerts eligible for free tickets went live, including summer shows at Holmdel and Camden venues.
Suddenly, customers reported trouble checking their voucher codes:
When a company like #Ticketmaster has the monopoly and all those fees, a website that can handle traffic isn't too much for public to ask.
— MarkSuppelsa (@MarkSuppelsa) June 21, 2016
No surprise that @Ticketmaster is rolling out #TicketmasterSettlement in the most broken, confusing way possible. pic.twitter.com/YFgJ4WDAig
— Ryan Dowd (@ryanphonic) June 21, 2016
By the time connections were sorted out, that list had changed. As of Wednesday morning, the Jersey venues were off, though some smaller shows in New York City and Philadelphia were made available.
And then, the first wave of free shows was taken down entirely.
Ticketmaster says it's already redeemed $5 million with of ticket vouchers, and more shows will be posted soon.
But among all the trouble, there's a new wave of disgust and frustration among music fans, in Jersey and beyond.
But I have to ask — are we shocked that a company settling a multi-million dollar lawsuit for "shady" fee disclosures, is changing the way these codes can be redeemed?
I have a feeling @Ticketmaster will be sued again, given how poorly they're handling the recent #TicketmasterSettlement
— Brian Lang (@BrianLangAuthor) June 21, 2016
@Ticketmaster still manages to screw fans even when they're being punished for screwing fans in the #TicketmasterSettlement
— Bryan Crabill (@Bhcrabill) June 21, 2016
Not shocked, but definitely upset. It's at least made for some amusing moments on Twitter:
Every time I try to put in my voucher codes Ticketmaster be like… #TicketmasterSettlement pic.twitter.com/G8OkaTJg64
— Stephanie Feldman (@Cloverbelle56) June 22, 2016

Me trying to use #Ticketmaster "free" vouchers #TicketmasterSettlement pic.twitter.com/hcXrfBHlTq
— Sarah (@UberGuber) June 22, 2016
For those who maybe don't have voucher or discount codes trying to sort through this mess — let's take a closer look at the legal jargon posted with each of them online:
"Potentially redeemable" certainly jumps out at me as rather unpromising! So does the phrase "limited availability."
It goes along with the terms laid out on that Ticketmaster settlement info page. That page refers questions to another Settlement site, where the question "Am I guaranteed free tickets?" is answered this way: "While all class members are eligible for qualified events, tickets will be redeemed on a first come, first serve basis."
So, that's a no then?
Truth be told, I'm not as angry as I would be about the "bait and switch" or "smoke and mirrors" or whatever shenanigans Ticketmaster is being accused of pulling, since I was able to use a free voucher on a Holmdel show before it was yanked.
So, go ahead, try to use your voucher on a New York City tribute to Rolling Stones or tribute to Guns and Roses. Both cover bands are on the list as of Wednesday. It might give you some "Satisfaction" before more list changes create further "Appetite for Destruction."

Does Cloud Drop eliminates file size limitations for e.g., file of size greater than 20GB/30GB etc? I have a file of size 20 GB or more but facing issues while uploading. By looking into the Cloud Drop App, I am presuming that Cloud Drop does handles that.
Is that correct?
Yes - with the help of Cloud Drop ST uploader tool, user will be able to upload file of any size for e.g., 20GB/30GB ...100GB etc. By default, user would be able to upload max file size of 5 GB. To upload file of size greater than 5GB, user needs to contact our Mansa support to enable ST uploader tool for their org.

Thursday, January 9th (pseudo rest day)
- Day 6 of January strength challenge (50 squats and 15 lunges)
- Evening yoga to wind-down and stretch out the soreness
Wake-up factor: 10. I slept in knowing I was only going to do my leg exercises.
Pre-workout & post-workout factors: N/A
Breakfast: Kashi Toasted Berry Cereal with almond milk.
Lunch: Sushi! Tuna gomae and a monkey roll (tuna, scallop and scallions topped with mayo and roe).
Parting words: My evening yoga session was just what I needed!! Focused on backbends and heart opening postures, including Rock Stars (quite apropos since I was listening to Drake.)
Friday, January 10th
- Boot camp
Wake-up factor: 5. Ugh. Friday? Finally? It's been a long week.
Pre-workout factor: 8. Let's do this!!
Post-workout factor: 6. So. Glad. Workout. Is. Done.
Breakfast: Black Americano and a piece of reduced fat banana bread with chocolate chips.
Lunch: Leftover Char Siu (Chinese BBQ) pork with rice noodles.
Parting words:
- The beginning of boot camp was so rough. I didn't feel as though as I had any energy. Thankfully, I fared better on our 2nd round of the circuit. By the end of it, though, I was very grateful about having to duck out 10 minutes to prep for my morning meetings.
- It's ok that I didn't do my daily leg exercises as I was running between floors getting ready for meetings this morning–in 4-inch platform peep toe booties.
- Tomorrow must be a rest day! I broke out a bit, from lack of sleep, I think. I will use Saturday to treat myself and catch up on my sleep, and treat my body to some gentle yoga.

3 Surefire Ways to become Great Photographer
Do you wish to be described as a professional photographer? Sometimes you may feel photography brings the most effective in you? From professional photography to nurturing a pastime, there is always room for improving what you love doing. If you are reading this article, you should love clicking photos. When somebody else appreciates what you see through that lens of yours, you need to be proud. Everyone can improve and also be better. There are a few tips which you can use because every famous photographer ever has done these. They are saying that https://www.amazon.com/Nikon-D3300-Battery/dp/B00KAF5RQ2 is just not a sprint, it really is a marathon. However cliché it appears, it is never late to start running.
Read and study Some More
In case you are reading this to know short cuts to become a better photographer, we are sorry to upset you. There are no easy methods to be great. You need to be educated in regards to the camera, the timing, lights and angles. No person can know all secrets on them in one day. You should follow and browse great articles which you will locate fairly easily online. Fighting for supremacy in social media marketing appreciation will not be the way. Read books about photography and enrich your knowledge base. Complete Portrait Digital Photography by Ben Long was it that helped me to after i began to gather intelligence. Discover the basics; follow them much like your life depends upon it. Good pictures may come floating.
Get a Mentor
Being self-motivated may be the most crucial thing to be successful in any field. Self-motivation brought you here to this particular article and let me tell you you need to follow someone easier to be much better. Find a mentor, be it a colleague, a neighbor, a colleague or someone you know. If he is prepared to head out along with a photo walk, you can learn a lot from him/her. It is the experience that they can give you. They will tell you where you stand wrong, when you ought to click for a 90dexmpky snap. You will understand about better equipment and technique. Learn from your mentor and respect their experience. You can expect to grow quicker than you can think of. Also you can utilize the Nikon D3400 Battery to get the best shots.
Click, Fail, Click Again
Like every skill known to humans, photography also needs your complete attention and dedication. You will certainly be criticized. You will end up laughed at. Will not look at the bad comments you receive. Keep learning from the mistakes and take an oath to create yourself better. Proceed to the initial step, learn then put it on. Your excellence in clicking is exponentially dependent on exactly how much you click. Click when you find yourself alone, once you see something interesting. I actually have seen shy people being the smartest photographer once the time comes. I have got seen them transforming once they get to click. Adore your camera and get acquainted with regarding the true potential from it. Use it for the fullest.
It is evident that exist guidelines but to be the best that one could be, you ought to be dedicated. Invest time in clicking and learning and you will surely turn into a photographer that everybody admires including you.

The food police in Britain and America said, in the 1970s, that butter was bad for human health. Food experts said that studies showed that butter contained large amounts of cholesterol and advised that the new low fat, soft margarines were far better for a healthy diet. We know now that most of them contained hydrogenated fats that is are basically fats whipped up with water. Americans are getting hysterical about trans fats, and have banned them in the States. Trans fats are contained within hydrogenated fats. However, the latest studies have shown that hydrogenated fats in their entirety are bad for human health; the body does not recognise these unnatural substances and cannot process them but lays them down as body fat unprocessed in the body. One wonders whether this is one of the myriad of reasons for the obesity epidemic in both Britain and America.
Yet, the danger is that the general public still believe the scare stories that were circulated in the seventies and are gaily eating these margarines, and forswearing butter, thinking that they are doing the healthiest thing. Something that has a chemical formula a few points from plastic and was formulated in a laboratory cannot possibly be better than a natural product made from milk.
The latest recommendation of the food "experts" is the Mediterranean diet. Olive oil, tomatoes, plenty of vegetables, some meat and fish. Indeed the French diet has always confounded the food police, butter, cream, wine, cheese and rich pates and sauces. They cannot explain how French people do not have hugely high levels of cholesterol. The French cook with large amounts of butter, although they rarely have butter on bread but you will find butter on your vegetables, in most of the delicious sauces and large amounts go into the pates of which they are justly proud. According to the "experts" The French should all be the size of houses and yet they are not. In the South West of France most of the people are slim even wiry and one only has to look in the clothes shops to realise that there are virtually none that cater for even, what would be in Britain or USA medium sizes (English dress size 14 or US 12).
Eggs were decreed to be bad for health at about the same time that butter was added to the "do not eat" list. Trouble is someone misread the data and misplaced a decimal point. It has also been discovered since that there are two types of cholesterol and that the one that eggs contain is the good one that we need to maintain our health besides all the other vitamins and minerals which are in eggs. The scientists scared a whole generation out of eating eggs and also they have been very wrong about so many other things. Scare stories come out every week, over three weeks recently one study said that a moderate consumption of wine was excellent for health, the next week, all alcohol including wine was implicated in Alzheimer's disease, dementia and strokes and the next week a study showing that one glass of wine per day was beneficial in keeping Alzheimer and dementia at bay. Which are ordinary people supposed to believe? Is there is another way?
Perhaps we should ignore all food experts entirely and go back to the old fashioned advice that our Grandmothers lived by, "eat a little of everything and all things in moderation". A little butter goes a long way. Butter gives flavour in cooking and in a sauce is the right medium for any thickening agent (flour, cornflour etc) to perform the chemical reaction which gives a beautiful smooth and tasty sauce, soup, gravy or stew. There is nothing like a slice of fresh crusty bread with real butter but you do not have to put half a pound on it neither do you need to eat the whole loaf. Diet anyway is only ever part of the equation, the other part is exercise so have a little butter, enjoy it, and go for a walk.
