text: Brazil was a colony of Portugal from the landing of Pedro Álvares Cabral in 1500 until its independence in 1822. When they land in Brazil for the first time the thought that was a Island then they called Island of Vera Cruz, after the first expeditions inside brazilian lands in the 16th century, the land was recognised to be a continent rather than an island. The name was thus changed to Terra de Vera Cruz. The country was subsequently divided for administration into the vice-kingdom of Brazil and that of Grão-Pará. When Portuguese explorers found trees of a deep red hue inside on the coast of South America, they used the name pau-brasil to describe them. Pau is Portuguese for "wood", and brasil is said to have come from brasa, Portuguese for "ember". This name had been earlier used to describe a different species of tree which was found in Asia and other places and which also produced red dye; but the South American trees soon became the better source of red dye. Then Because that first source of money the Portuguese Empire rename the country to Brazil. Formiga MG in Brazil

Cerulean Pharma Inc. (NASDAQ:CERU) has announced FDA Fast Track Designation (FTD) award for its drug candidate CRLX101, which is being developed as a therapy for recurrent ovarian carcinoma. It is worth noting that FTD is a dream of every drug developer but not everyone attains that important milestone.
In the case of Cerulean's CRLX101, the candidate also boasts Orphan Drug Designation (ODD) in addition to FTD. The FDA issued the candidate with ODD status in 2015 and the ODD regards treatment of ovarian cancer.
How does FTD help?
Drug candidates bearing FTD label enjoy accelerated review before the FDA. The idea behind FTD is to facilitate faster review process and ultimately development of a promising drug candidate. The FDA makes the extraordinary move to award FTD only where it is reasonable grounds to believe that a drug has potential to address unmet medical need. There is a huge gap to fill in the treatment of ovarian cancer and that is the target of Cerulean's CRLX101.
Because of accelerated review process, it might take Cerulean Pharma Inc. (NASDAQ:CERU) a shorter time to bring to CRLX101 market. A shorter than usual period of drug development also means reduced costs for the developer. Therefore, what you see is that Cerulean has multiple benefits to enjoy with the FTD tag on its CRLX101 candidate.
What's the target indication?
Cerulean is developing CRLX101 to treat platinum-resistant ovarian cancer. For that indication, the candidate is being developed as a combination therapy with paclitaxel. The candidate is presently in Phase 1b/2 clinical trial.
Does Cerulean Pharma Inc. (NASDAQ:CERU) have what it takes to bring CRLX101 to market?
With positive data from the early stage trial of CRLX101, the question is whether Cerulean Pharma Inc. (NASDAQ:CERU) has what it takes to complete the development of the drug. If you look at the company's balance sheet as of the end of last quarter, you see that it had more than $60.5 million in cash balance, which declined from more than $75.9 million in the prior quarter. But the available cash still looks adequate to fund the clinical studies.

Silver Stacking 101 – DON'T PANIC!
By Al Doyle for CoinWeek .....
If I was given a $1 bill for every lament I've heard from those who bought physical silver just before the spot price dropped once the purchase was made, I could fill a briefcase with portraits of George Washington.
So what if silver drops $1 or $2 after you bought a few ounces? The dip isn't going to make you homeless. While today's price might be lower than it was a week ago when you took the plunge, you still own a chunk of a valuable and historically proven commodity. Don't let your life be ruled by every dip and uptick in silver. Panic leads to a lack of logical thinking.
Why are there so many sad tales of people buying silver just before it drops, but fewer happy endings? Why are there so many "shoulda, coulda, woulda" tales when silver has been on a solidly upward path for seven years? Blame it on human nature.
Many buyers act more on emotion than calm thinking, and those types tend to buy as silver is rising. They fear (not always without reason) that the metal may be headed for an extended run, and they want to catch what could be the last train out. No bullish stock or commodity rides a straight road to the top, and there will be many dips, pauses and plateaus along the trail. A four-percent decline isn't the end of the world.
Funny how the same people who sing a sad tune when silver retreats tend to forget the times when the metal rose following a purchase. It's human nature in action again. Realistically speaking, those who have made frequent or periodic silver buys since 2007 are doing somewhat better than they would if the money had been spent elsewhere.
There is a contrast to the Nervous Nellie mentality. Despite its long-term worldwide popularity and successful track record, this method of silver accumulation attracts virtually no attention or publicity in numismatic and bullion buying circles.
Countless millions in America and throughout the world buy a little silver each week or month. Depending on the person's budget, "a little" could be anywhere from a few silver dimes or its local equivalent to 20 ounces per transaction.
It's that simple and mundane. If you like silver, buy it regularly. If prices seem high, sit on the money until a better opportunity comes along. People of even modest means have accumulated substantial amounts of the metal over time in just this manner. So why don't more people take this common sense approach?
Once again, human nature plays a role. Many people are allergic to the simple and logical. They'll jump all over some complex, convoluted scam while knocking the alleged lack of "sophistication" of those who take a practical approach to solving a problem.
Although some investors obtain silver in the hope of selling it for more paper dollars in the future, the true silver bug looks at the metal from a somewhat different perspective. To him or her, silver is real, honest money (as noted in Article 1, Section 10 of the U.S. Constitution) while the Federal Reserve note is a steadily depreciating item backed by nothing more than the empty promises of politicians.
There is a relative of sorts to those who whimper with each dip and decline in spot prices, and just about every coin or bullion dealer has dealt with this breed at some point. Meet the perpetually indecisive big talker.
This species can be spotted by their constant chatter or call ("I just inherited $75,000 from Mom, Uncle Pete, etc., and I want to spend it on silver!") combined with a complete lack of knowledge of the metal they allegedly want to buy. They'll ask countless questions without really listening to the answers, especially if those answers come from wise and rational sources.
Despite their lack of experience and understanding, many of these blabbers think of themselves as experts and expect to make a big killing in silver. They never do, because they never buy the metal. In numerous cases, the dealer who would stand to profit from a large sale advises the prospect to take a moderate approach and put 10 to 20 percent of their funds in silver before taking the plunge.
Call it paralysis by analysis or totally lacking the hard money gene (talk is cheap, but it come down to action), but all the noise and blather about silver ends without so much as a pre-1965 dime being obtained. Compare that to the quiet, nondescript guy who has been buying a few ounces at a time for years. The slow and steady approach wins the silver accumulation race hands down. Never mind that spot is down 45 cents an ounce since last Thursday. Keep building the pile.

I got drunk & had a fight with my almost boyfriend.
Now he says we are over & doesn't want to talk to me.
Should I leave him alone & see if he changes his mind after he's not as angry at me?
Most Helpful Guy
What did ya say? If it's bad enough he may not change his mind.00|00|0
He invited me to his after I went out but then he told me he was too tired and to call the next day. But I got upset about it.
I guess if you really freaked out he may have taken it as a sign of things to come, you could just send an apology text I guess and tell him when he wants to talk to let ya know.
We know each other really well & he already knows that I do get emotional but we have moved on from that. I sent a really long message earlier when I was upset, but have left it since.

Just like a football game, client building requires a solid strategy executed by a series of well-designed plays. While the ultimate objective of a sports team is to put points on the board, the plays are designed to systematically get the team into scoring position. The score itself - a touchdown, a goal, a home run - is the closing play. But you can't get there without great opening plays.
In the world of business development and sales, getting into scoring position means being in the room with decision makers and influencers - and that's what The Opening Playbook helps you to do.
Business development guru Andrew Dietz takes you step-by-step through the process of getting yourself into the ideal position to sell your services, whether you're a one-person operation or work for a major firm.
Taking on the role of your coach, Dietz shows you "game footage" of Sam Wentworth, a law firm associate on the cusp of becoming a partner. But first he has to prove himself on the field of play by demonstrating his business development abilities. Meanwhile, the play clock is getting close to zero. Throughout The Opening Playbook, Dietz stops the film at critical points, showing you where Sam succeeds and where he trips up. He provides the powerful opening-drive plays (best practices for establishing authentic business relationships), analyzes the defense (obstacles in the way of the success), and suggests audibles (on-the-spot tactical modifications to answer unplanned-for challenges).
The team with the best plan usually wins the day. Put yourself several steps ahead of the competition and develop winning business relationships with The Opening Playbook.

Excellent Playbook for Developing Business!
Concise, instructive, and entertaining
Learning to sell without selling by connecting with content.
Chandler does a nice job of narrating the book. At the beginning, he sounded somewhat like a television game show announcer, but once the book got underway, he seemed to settle into the characters and add some life to their stories.
The book underscored for me the importance of connecting with substance and delivering value in this 21st century busy economy.
What a wonderful book and resource, especially for younger professionals and those seeking to maximize their business development potential -- long term. This isn't a book about making a quick sale; instead, it teaches how to build long-term relationships by delivering value and content over time. At the same time, the sports analogies and vignettes keep the listener entertained and attentive. This isn't your typical professional development book that drones on an on -- it effectively teaches by example, making the content easier to retain.

A Hard Day's Night (Richard Lester, 1964)
I am the same age as Ringo Starr and was born only a little over a week before John Lennon, so I watch
A Hard Day's Night
with more than ordinary nostalgia, the kind that might make me say with Wordsworth, "Bliss was it in that dawn to be alive, / But to be young was very heaven!" except that I'd be lying. Still, if there was bliss to be had in that post-Kennedy-assassination, Goldwater-haunted, Cold War summer of '64, it was to be found in watching John, Paul, George, and Ringo larking about at the movies. It was a breath of optimism, a statement that youth could conquer the world. It didn't quite turn out that way, but it didn't for Wordsworth either: He was talking about the French Revolution, which proved not to be so heavenly. This is, of course, one of the great film musicals, packed with engaging songs. They may be more lightweight than the Beatles' later
, lifting the heart rather than stirring the imagination, but they're impossible to resist. It also slyly, cheekily makes its point about the generation the Beatles are trying to leave behind: the ineptly bullying managers (Norman Rossington and John Junkin), the fussy TV director (Victor Spinetti), the marketing executive (Kenneth Haigh) sure that he has a handle on What the Kids Want, the Blimpish man on the train (Richard Vernon) who tells Ringo, "I fought the war for your sort." Ringo's reply: "I bet you're sorry you won." Celebrity is closing in on them, epitomized by the wonderfully elliptical dialogue in John's encounter with a woman (Anna Quayle) who is sure that she recognizes him but then puts on her glasses and proclaims, "You don't look like him at all." John mutters, "She looks more like him than I do." Alun Owen's screenplay, written after hanging out with the Beatles, absorbing and borrowing their own jokes, was one of the two Oscar nominations the film received, along with George Martin's scoring. None of the songs, of course, were nominated. Neither were Richard Lester's direction, Gilbert Taylor's cinematography, or John Jympson's editing, all of which kept the film buoyant and fleet.

NOTE:This was written literally years ago by my "little sister" Cathy and me. We had the free time, we had the TKR obsession, we had the total lack of English skills.

TREK: I have kissed you, Erica. On your head. Remember that day?
DUKE: You're both nuts. I'm going to sleep. If you wake me up at midnight I'll kill you.
(DUKE walks away)
TREK: You do realize we'll have to wake him up?
ERICA: I'll help. He can't kill me, I'm a woman. I don't care what he does to you.
TREK: Thanks, Erica.
ERICA: You're welcome.
TREK: I hate you, Erica.
ERICA: I love you, too, Trek.

SETTING:Skyone, 1:20AM, that morning, Trek's quarters
ERICA: I don't think we should tell anyone about us.
TREK: Why?
ERICA: Because, Kyle wouldn't be too happy about it.

Hey All.
I was wondering if you only want 1 tier of a three tier cake to be real.....what do you use for the fake part? And does it matter which tier is real? Any recommendations? Do you use styrofoam?
I haven't done one that was a mix, but I have done one that was all sytrofoam. So I'm not sure how it will stack, but I think it kind of depends on how many people you have to feed as to what layer you do in real cake.
Is it actually cheaper for you to do it in styrofoam instead of making the other 2 layers real? I haven't calculated the cost but I know it's not super cheap to buy the styrofoam ones. You still have to cover them and decorate them so are paying the same costs there...
I want to make it very small. It is only to feed like 4o people, but I wanted to make the cake a 3 tier without all the left over cake.(but a small 3 tier) I thought it would be easier to stack using styrofoam. I really haven't looked at the prices for anything yet, I was just putting some ideas together.
You can use styrofoam, and you need to deside which tier should be real according to the number of servings. And I don't think you should reduce your price because two tiers are fake. It take the same amount of decorating and time as well.
Thanks! I appreciate the help! It is for a friend but I am sure she will pay me what ever! I just thought even a two tier wedding cake would be better than a 1 tier. But I know they don't need that much cake. I will have to run it past her. Thanks again!!
I would do a 6",9", and 12" cake with the bottom 12" being styrofoam according to my serving charts a 6" is 10 serv. and a 9" is 30 so that would be perfect for you. You can order dummies at dallas-foam dot com
To serve 40 you would need at least 2 tiers of real cake.
I suggest a 12(styro), 9,& 5 real cake which will yeild about 45 servings each 1x2x4.
if you want to do a small cake that serves around 40 you could do the bottom (10") styrofoam, and then real 6" and 8" above. According to the serving chart I have that would serve about 36 people, based on a round cake. Then it's not too big and you have 2 real layers with the styrofoam being the base (seems like that would be more stable to me).
best of luck
ok, that makes sense! Thanks so much!

CJ the German shorthaired pointer may've taken home top honors last night at The 140th Westminster Kennel Club Dog Show, but all of the entrants are winners in our mind. The spectacle of the perfectly coifed canines gracing the stage at the Show belies the hours (and hours) of hard work that the four-legged critters and their owners endure before stepping into the spotlight. These revealing photos show just what it takes to look great.

Directions See How It's Made
- Put the chicken legs into a saucepan and cover with water or chicken stock. Bring to a simmer and cook for 15-20 minutes, until tender. Leave to cool in the liquid.

- Put the chicken on a tray then leave to chill in the fridge for 30 minutes. Preheat the oven to 375°F.
- Heat the olive oil and garlic in a frying pan and fry the chicken legs until golden on all sides. Transfer to the oven and bake a further 15 minutes until the chicken is tender when pierced with a knife.
- Toss the cabbage, onions, carrot vinegar and oil together in a large bowl. Season with salt and pepper and moisten with the mayonnaise. Sprinkle over the chopped parsley.
- Serve the chicken legs on top of the slaw and accompany with roast new potatoes and a spicy tomato relish.

The changelog is filled with the operations BEFORE the transaction is committed, and its contents is part of the logical view, as far as node traversal is concerned. In other words, before the transaction is committed, you will be the only one seeing those changes, and after commit, everyone will. However, if JR crashes before the changelog has been saved to the RDBMS, the changelog will be lost, as it is memory-based. > If the XA includes Jackrabbit AND the RDBMS AND any other outside > participants that may be relevant, it could not be rolled back without > Jackrabbit knowing. I'm not sure I understand where Jackrabbit could > be "left out of the loop" on a rollback? I just have some concerns about the flow of control: what JR is supposed to do with its associated JDBC connection when a XA TX is prepared, committed or rolled back. Do I get your point here: instead of using a changelog, continuously write changes made by the client via XA capable JDBC connection to the database, using the fact that uncommitted changes are only visible to that user?

This must have been our fifth stay at the Inn. This weekend (March 15 & 16, 2013) we paid $175 a night. The little breakfast they used to serve has been discontinued. Sunday morning 7:15 a.m. office closed - no coffee and juice available. Tiny little piece of soap on sink (no bath soap). Noisy refrigerator and heater in room. Broken bathroom window. Difficult to operate shower mixing valve. We're getting far less for more money during this stay. Our last at this property, I'm sure.
