|Official Title:
|Intensive Trial of OMics in Cancer (ITOMIC) - Intensive Longitudinal Monitoring in Subjects With Triple-Negative Breast Cancer
- Incidence of adverse events resulting from performing multiple biopsies measured by the presence of biopsy-related complications, graded according to the National Cancer Institute Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events version 4.03 [ Time Frame: Within 1 week of biopsy ]The frequency of adverse events associated with multiple repeated study-related biopsies (or leukapheresis runs) will be determined using simple statistics.
- Infrastructure for acquiring, storing, retrieving and analyzing panomic data from clinical tumor specimens in a clinically relevant timeframe from participating sites [ Time Frame: Up to 2 years ]Findings of potential clinical significance will be included in the reports provided to subjects and oncologists. Similarly, as new information becomes available, information of significance to understanding a subject?s tumor or germline genomes may become apparent.
- Change in subject perceptions regarding panomic data and its application to cancer treatment assessed by Intensive Trial of OMics in Cancer baseline and follow up questionnaires [ Time Frame: Baseline to 2 years ]Subject perceptions regarding the value of panomic testing in predicting the optimal treatment for subjects with cancer and for predicting the risk for developing other inherited diseases will be collected.
- Develop process improvements [ Time Frame: Up to 2 years ]The yield of successfully performing various types of analyses from clinically indicated- and study-related biopsies and leukapheresis specimens as well as the time frame necessary for returning reports will be monitored.
- Development and improvement of infrastructure for storing and working with data from subject biopsies [ Time Frame: Up to 2 years ]Data from subjects will be used to test the infrastructure being developing and identify areas that need to be improved.
- Methods required to analyze and integrate data across subjects and with data from the public domain [ Time Frame: Up to 2 years ]Methods and software that can facilitate comparing data from subjects with that deposited in the public domain will be developed.
- Molecular changes associated with treatment response or resistance [ Time Frame: Up to 2 years ]A number of statistical approaches will be used. Will be evaluated by comparing biopsies taken from the same subject pre- and post- anti-cancer treatment, and relating these changes to each subject?s outcome.
- Number or frequencies of biopsies or leukapheresis runs [ Time Frame: Up to 2 years ]Safety and feasibility data will be analyzed and the frequency, nature, and severity of adverse events will be summarized.
- Removal of any unnecessary biopsies or generation of redundant data [ Time Frame: Up to 2 years ]Data across biopsies taken from the same individual at the same time point will be compared to assess the need for multiple biopsies.

Range has successfully mobilised drilling rig (Rig 8) and rigged up on the drill pad on Canari North exploration well on the Guayaguayare Block onshore Trinidad.
The contractor was required to carry out a number of upgrades and tests on the rig, which were successfully completed on 10 July 2015. Final inspection documents for the rig will be submitted to the Ministry of Energy and Energy Affairs during the current week, as part of formal approvals to commence drilling operations.
The well is expected to spud during the week commencing 27 July 2015, following the required regulatory approvals, drilling the well on paper (DWOP) meeting and pre-spud meeting with partners, contractors, service providers and regulatory agencies associated with the well.
The Canari North well will be the first exploration well to be drilled by Range in Trinidad, and any success with the well is expected to de-risk the Moruga sub-basin and could result in material potential upside in the Guayaguayare block with multiple follow-on prospects and leads to be tested by further exploration drilling in 2015 / 2016.
The planned drilling programme is for a vertical well to be drilled to a target depth of 5,000 ft., and is expected to take approximately 50 days. The well will test for the presence of hydrocarbons in the Gros Morne reservoirs.

You play as Queen Bebe, a rather large Queen Bee who has specific abilities that she can use to travel through worlds. She can fly, climb or pollenate whilst balencing her 3 meters out, if they all drop, her energy will slow down leading her to be much more vulnerable for a Game Over. Where a player would then have to restart a level for from one of the 3 checkpoints assorted around the course.
In total their are 6 worlds to roam each with different missions to complete inside different levels.
|Icy Valleys
|Well looks like you've really been washed away. You'll need to toughen up here with the cold temperatures so it's a great way to learn how to use your powers wisely.
|Desert Plains
|Dry Deserts have sandstorms and little life but are a tricky place to navigate with affecting your stats too!
Enemies will appear randomly as they are categorized to certain worlds.
|How it's defeated
|Baby Penguins who will peck at you easily. They can slide on their bodies or by waddling to get you.
|Icy Valleys
|Scab Beetle
|A scab beetle will try to ram into you.
|Jump on them.
|Desert Plains
|Slow, old stick insects who will blend into the surroundings and then attack upon surprise.
|Freaky Forest
- The game was originally for the NES, but updated for the SNES due to it being out and popular and it's better graphical update.
- The game was originally called Queen Bee Bee and the Return to Home, but changed due to a more suiting and shorter title being favoured.

Senator Kabiru Marafa of the Unity Forum has revealed that the All Progressives Congress, APC can make Senate President, Bukola Saraki's forgery case disappear.
Speaking to HERALD, Marafa said that Saraki's travails can only end with an instruction from the APC. The lawmaker said, "We didn't go to court because we didn't like the face of those that emerged, but this is the will of our party.
"During the 7th assembly, we accorded the ruling party at that time the utmost cooperation and we knew the committees that we were given that time. But now, we are in power it is our own time and we should be accorded all the necessary cooperation.
"We should be seen to respect the party. If the party says withdraw the case, we will on to withdraw the case."

How Are We Doing? Gathering of Syrian Refugee, Sponsoring Groups, and Service Providers on November 12, 2016
On Saturday, November 12, 2016, AWO brought together over 300 people to share their experiences of settling in Canada as refugees, of sponsoring Syrian families, and of supporting Syrians' settlement process. This was a unique occasion for individuals from the refugee community to share their knowledge and learn from each other's experiences in Greater Toronto Area and Mississauga.
Participants were delighted with the traditional Syrian welcome, Arada, performed by Sooriana (click here to see video), that opened the afternoon's events and a first viewing of the video, How Are We Doing?: A Snapshot of How Syrian Newcomers Feel in Their New Homes (click here to see video). AWO's President, Asma Faizi and Executive Director, Adeena Niazi, welcomed the crowd. Remarks from Premier Kathleen Wynne were followed by greetings from local MPs, Yasmine Ratansi (Don Valley East), Rob Oliphant (Don Valley West), and Salma Zahid (Scarborough Centre).
Prior to the event, AWO had collected information from sponsoring groups, settlement organizations, and refugees to understand the current opportunities and challenges within the settlement sector in Ontario. Highlights from the data collection were presented and further discussion on lessons learned, and the challenges and successes of Syrian newcomer settlement were fleshed out during a panel discussion which opened up to include participants in the audience. The information collected has been compiled into the How Are We Doing? report. Click here to download a copy. AWO would like to thank all who participated and helped make this event an enjoyable celebration.

The Last Showing (2014)
Written & Directed by Phil Hawkins
Those familiar with the Horror genre (and most not) surly know the name Robert England. Or rather his alias, Freddy Krueger. Over the last three decades Robert has been a staple in the horror genre, maintaining the same aura that Vincent Price once held over his audience. No matter the amount of scary flicks you catch them in (despite the context) the one things that sticks out is how mesmerizing they are capable of being. Completely giving whichever role their all and always sure to entertain. For a man far deserving of any success obtained throughout his life, I'm glad I can say first hand how gracious and giving as a person he is. With so many films (in general) able to get under the radar, it was in passing that he stated how particularly proud he was of this film that made it stand out for myself.
The story revolves around Stuart, a proud projectionist who'd been fired recently due to the refusal of taking a necessary training course. Something he felt was quite unnecessary in that he didn't need explanation on how to 'push a button.' Distressed at the further thought of film going digital and the lack of respect for ratio that went into displaying the film. He's ultimately downsized to shoveling popcorn for any future 'eager' movie goers; deciding to take matters into his hands by aspiring to create a movie on par with his own standards. Coercing the Manager Clive (Malachi Kirby) to let him stay for the midnight movie as the chosen couple Martin (Finn Jones) and Allie (Emily Berrington) soon find themselves at the mercy of one mans good old-fashioned revenge.
Beginning the night by rearranging the cameras to his favor, Stuart slipped a sedative into Allie's drink before they made their way to the empty theater. Giving Clive a similar treatment though cast aside for a later time which allowed for other strategies to carry through. As Allie felt light-headed and ran off to the bathroom, Martin was left to wonder how but more importantly why the theater began closing down around him. Stuart speaking to him via the multiple screens used throughout a typical cinema, making clear that there wouldn't be a choice in his participating in the matter. He had put entirely too much thought into the next several hours and had great expectations. All the while following pre-written note cards having laid out for himself, crossing off each one as they unfolded.
Though we briefly catch up with Clive, he's choked out with a reel of film before released so he can run into Martin. Arguing as to his involvement in the nights events, they scuffle and the one bullet accounted for is used. Handing over any chance of coming out the victor with necessary proof to pit Martin as the villain. Told to take the man's cash before he's able to locate Allie, she's quickly convinced that her boyfriend is the one behind these unexplained events. The complete lack of trust hopefully due to being a semi-new relationship. But Stuart comes back into play as he announces over the intercom that Police were on the way and he'd witnessed what was done to Allie. Instantly gaining her trust, yet swooping in to save her and play more cat and mouse games. He instructs her to phone the Police while showing the playback of Clive's death just before the power is cut to the entire building. Arranging matters so that the 'ending' took place on the roof, its Martin's inability to keep his composure that allows Stuart to finish his film the way he saw fit.
England naturally dominated the role, evenly displaying the meek and naive persona that allowed himself to be overlooked yet also the cunning puppet master in control at every turn. Despite being relatively new to acting, both Emily Berrington and Finn Jones did amicable jobs of entertaining accordingly. Though the lack of actual information provided for them as a couple made me more inclined to root for Stuart. Yet it also felt like the Director and Cinematographer were really able to come forth and play with the shadows/hues of blue tones throughout; red and green to also compliment at times. In the scene where Martin and Clive fight, Ludwig van Beethoven's sonata no. 14 (Allie's ringtone) narrates in a most beautiful way. Because it doesn't try to be loud and in your face. You're following these people through what will be the most confusing night for them, seemingly indefinitely. We even hear a speech (or two) on the lack of originality in Horror films as of late. So it was nice to see these people put in a position where the antagonist come out the victor and at that, a possibility left for a sequel. Hinting at framing Officer Collins (Keith Allen), who had noticed the slight smile on the roof right before shots were fired. Finding a single piece of evidence that indicates something out of the norm had gone on that night. With Stuart's finished product playing alongside the credits and you're simply left wanting more.

Birding Tour To Papua
Indonesia's unwilling easternmost region, Papua occupies the western half of New Guinea, the World's second largest island. Along with its independent eastern neighbour Papua New Guinea, Papua is home to an incredible diversity of flora, fauna and cultures. The rugged terrain and the relatively late coming of the outside world to the island has helped to preserve the unique biological and cultural diversity here better than probably anywhere else in the tropics. It is also home to the largest tracts of remaining rainforest outside the Amazon basin, and much of the varied fauna found here is unique to the island. Mammals include several species of tree kangaroos and cuscuses, but the birdlife is even more fascinating: colourful cockatoos and parrots share the forests with such unique species as cassowaries, crowned pigeons and the most famous and spectacular of all feathered beings: birds of paradise. High above the jungle-clad lowlands, the central highlands are home to alpine landscapes and even snow-capped peaks, plus the closest glaciers to the equator. More accessibly, the coastal areas, especially around the off-shore islands, boost some of the finest coral reefs in the world.Hence, without any doubt birdwatching in Papua (Irian Jaya) is on many people's dream wish list.
IT Nature Club will be organizing a birding trail led by India's well known birder and naturalist Mr. Sujan Chatterjee from 2nd July 2017 to 11th July 2017.

Ofc, it happens... in most cases if your body is healthy and looks good your face will look good and if your body is shit your face will most likely be shit... this is a very dumbed down explanation, but it does somewhat work like that.
totally agree, the naysayers of the internet wouldn't agree though thats why i am eager to hear the comments

These funds, like the broader DGF stable, tend to target equity-like returns (most commonly cash + 4-5%) with a volatility much lower than that of equities.
Risk Attribution
The process of attributing certain portions of total risk to various sources such as inflation risk, credit risk, equity risk, etc.
Risk Parity
An investment approach wherein the underlying assets - equities, bonds and commodities - are weighted not by capital invested/market exposure but by risk contributed to the overall portfolio. The purpose is to, through continuous rebalancing and leverage to target a desired return/risk balance, ensure that risk exposure is evenly spread across the different risk factors.
Roll down
A term used to describe the fact that the yield curve typically has a slope to it and, as time passes, a 10-year security will become a 9-year maturity, then an 8-year maturity, and so on with different yields. Thus the passage of time alone will produce returns – roll down returns.
Short-dated Instrument
Contractual-type asset (such as bonds) with a relatively short time horizon to maturity, usually a year or less.
Smart Alpha
The excess returns a quantitative manager can generate over smart beta benchmarks.
Smart Beta
Wide term that applies to alternative index construction (includes styles such as value, size and momentum), designed to outperform traditional benchmarks.
Stress Testing
A tool used to assess a portfolio's exposure to large – but plausible – shocks.
Style Beta
A quantitative measurement of relationship between the returns of a portfolio and an underlying style index.
A swap contract is an agreement between two parties to "swap" one set of pre-defined future payments for a different pre-defined set, over an agreed period. The most frequently used example for pension schemes is interest rate swaps where floating payments are exchanged for a final fixed payment.
Swap Rate
The rate of the fixed portion of a swap as determined by its particular market,usually referring to an interest rate swap.
Swap Spread
The difference between the swap rate and the gilt yield of corresponding maturity.
True Alpha
The excess returns a fundamental manager can generate over smart alpha.
An investment style that seeks stocks that the market may have undervalued.
A measure of variability that is used as a common metric for risk. It represents the value of a one standard deviation change in the value of an asset's or portfolio's return. Under certain assumptions, we are able to use this measure to calculate the probability of a given change in the value of the asset or portfolio.
Annual return in percent you can expect from a credit asset if you hold it until your investment is paid back. The yield allows for an easy comparison of the return that can be expected from different credit assets.
Yield Curve
A graphical representation of the relationship between the maturity and yield of a set of financial instruments.
Zero coupon swap
An agreement between two parties in which all payments of the swap are based on an agreed notional amount. The floating rate payer may make floating-rate payments based on a benchmark. The fixed-rate payer accrues interest at a fixed rate for the life of the swap but does not make payments. At the maturity of the swap, the fixed-rate payer pays all of compounded interest in one large payment.

First I'll be mostly working for Uni, writing papers and stuff. But my family has a vacation house on the Balearic Islands (Spain) and that's where I will go with my girlfriend for a few weeks in August. I've been going there with my family since I was a tiny baby and I really love it. The house is in a small village, very close to the sea. There are two reeeally long beaches where you can go swimming or just enjoy a long walk (one of them is about 15 miles long but I've never walked the whole length of it). The village doesn't have much... a few restaurants, one bakery, one small grocery store, a pharmacy, a doctor's office and two or three hotels. But this peacefulness is exactly what I love about the place. At home, there's always so much going on and it can be very stressful and it feels so relieving to be somewhere where clocks seem to run much slower. And of course it feels especially nice because my girlfriend and me have a house for ourselves, instead of just having a hotel room. This means we can cook for ourselves occasionally and sit out in the garden, enjoy the hot sun and read a good book. Theoretically, there would be some cool or beautiful places to visit on other parts of the island but for that we'd need a car and none of us is allowed to drive. My girlfriend doesn't have her permit yet and I'm not allowed to get a permit because I'm almost blind. So we're basically stuck in that village. But for us, that's totally okay because that means we have lots of time for each other and for ourselves, just doing nothing. I think of it a little bit like the type of vacations English aristocrats in the 19th century took, when they went to their countryside estates in Yorkshire or Cumbria ;-). The whole holiday will just be filled with sleeping in, eating lots of good food, having long afternoon sex, having romantic walks along the beach, reading good books, or simply lying on the couch in the living room, watching the blades of the fan go round and enjoying the fact that I can be bored (most modern people tend to hate boredom but it can actually be some really nice, productive... I feel like our society kind of forgot how to enjoy true idleness).11|00|0

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 grandmother, when living in NJ years ago, had an attorney draft a will. She died a year ago in China. Almost all her assets are in China. The named executor lives in China. She had one son and three daughters, all of whom except one daughter lives in the NY/NJ area. The will is very ambigously worded. The son claims that he is to receive almost all of the assets, while an alternative interpretation gives him just 25%. He has refused to even sit down to discuss the matter. What legal actions can be taken in the US, e.g. will construction, a declaration whether the English or the Chinese version of the will controls?
You will need to file 2 separate probate actions: one in the United States and one in China. In the United States action, you will need to ask for a declaratory judgment interpreting the ambiguity of the will.
You also to file for probate in China because that is were assets are located.Ask a similar question
The problem I see is that nothing you do in the US may be binding in China, where most of the assets are. I think you need to follow the money and have someone in China assist you.
You might try to have the attorney sign an Affidavit as to what the intent was, when the Will was drafted. That way, if something ever happened to the attorney, that testimony would be preserved. It might have an impact in China, as well.

I am slightly confused about how many wills exist since you are stating that there is English version or Chinese version. The last will, presumably, the Chinese version would be controlling will. I need to know if Grandmother was living in NJ for sometime prior to going back to China. If she was not a resident of New Jersey, I believe that your only course of action would be to file a probate action in China. Did the son in China probate the Chinese-verison of the will? I am not familiar with Chinese probate law and their notice requirements that may or may not be required son notice potential beneficaries (since the will does mention the three sisters I presume.) I think filing a New Jersey probate action will not be successful.Ask a similar question
The attorney drafted the English and Chinese version simultaneously without specifying which controls and which is a translation. The Chinese version appears to be a rough translation with discrepancies. The will declared that Grandma was a resident of NJ. The son, who lives in NJ/NY, has been avoiding the whole thing. My question was more about the full range of legal actions that can be taken in the US where most of the beneficiaries are and the laws more predictable.

Cosmetic surgeon talks 'mummy makeovers'
11 November 2013Losing baby weight can be a long process for many mums, for whom cosmetic surgery is increasingly being seen as a means of getting back their pre-baby body shape. As a result, the so-called 'mummy makeover', a mixture of procedures designed to restore a woman's body after childbirth, is becoming a widely-accepted phenomenon. "Full and mini tummy tucks are the most common type of post baby surgery," said a surgeon who is a member of the British Association of Aesthetic Plastic Surgeons . "A full tummy tuck removes fat and excess skin from the whole tummy and tightens up the muscles.?"A mini tummy tuck does the same but just for the lower tummy skin. During pregnancy, women can experience whats known as diastasis recti which is when the tummy muscles stretch apart so much that they form two columns with a gap in the middle. Although this condition can be improved with exercise, much of the damage is irreparable without surgery. Other common post-baby surgical procedures include Breast Lifts and Breast Enlargements, to regain the shape of the breasts, and Liposuction. Additionally, many new mums decide to undergo stretch mark revision, a non-invasive fractional laser treatment which improves the appearance of stretch marks. The author of the article on the website Sofeminine.co.uk advises, however, that surgery should be left until at least six months after giving birth, and only undertaken after the new mum has restarted an exercise regime and resumed eating a healthy diet in order to get back to a stable weight.

text: FITZGERALD, Ga., July 23, 2010 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Colony Bankcorp, Inc. (Nasdaq:CBAN), today reported net income available to shareholders of $171,000, or $0.02 per diluted share for the second quarter of 2010, up from second quarter 2009 net loss available to shareholders of $6,747,000 or $(0.94) per diluted share, while net income available to shareholders for six months ended June 30, 2010 was $505,000 or $0.06 per diluted share compared to net loss available to shareholders for the comparable period in 2009 of $5,984,000 or $(0.83) per diluted share. The increase in net income for both periods is primarily driven by the reduction in loan loss provisions. "Though first half 2010 earnings are below our historic standards, our pre-tax, pre-provision core earnings continue to provide strong support for the credit-related expenses needed to address our problem loan assets. We expect problem assets and charge-offs to continue to be elevated above historical levels, but it is encouraging that the pace of problem loan formation has slowed from prior periods. We are beginning to see slight but positive signs of economic recovery, but loan demand remains stubbornly weak and is the weakest that many bankers have seen in their careers. We have said for some time that we are committed to reducing our non-performing assets to an acceptable level in a timely and prudent manner and returning to our accustomed earnings standards. That commitment continues and, though we still have much work to do, we have made significant progress," said Al D. Ross, President and Chief Executive Officer. Colony continues to maintain a favorable capital position to be categorized as "well-capitalized" by regulatory benchmarks. At June 30, 2010, the Company's tier one leverage ratio, tier one and total risk-based capital ratios were 8.65 percent, 13.45 percent and 14.73 percent, respectively, compared to 8.30 percent, 11.79 percent and 13.07 percent, respectively, at December 31, 2009. Regulatory benchmarks to be categorized as "well-capitalized" for tier one leverage ratio, tier one and total risk-based capital ratios are 5.00 percent, 6.00 percent and 10.00 percent, respectively. During first quarter 2010, the Company strengthened its capital position by accepting subscriptions of several accredited investors in a private placement stock offering. The offering was closed on March 30, 2010 with proceeds realized of $5.08 million.

Electromagnetic Embossing machine project
Electromagnetic Embossing machine project
Abstract Electromagnetic Embossing machine
Conventionally in many manufacturing industries, embossing operation is carried out manually using jigs and fixtures or by means of a machine. These machines are mechanical, pneumatic or hydraulic. These machines are costlier for manufacturing, installation and for maintenance also. Along with the running cost of these types of machines is also high. An electromagnetic embossing machine proves itself better against these machines in respect with above said points. This project is about building a working prototype of above said electromagnetic embossing machine. In this machine embossing operation is carried out in project work on very thin aluminum sheet or other soft material. In the machine there's an electromagnet which incorporates a plunger passing through it.
The plunger is allowed for vertical motion through electromagnet. The plunger carries an iron core fixed to its upper end, and to the lower end of the same a tool holder is attached, this tool holder holds an embossing tool that is used for cutting the pipe. The plunger is hanged with the help of springs. A working material is placed just bellow the embossing tool. Entire assembly is fixed into some kind of housing or body. Whenever electromagnet is made on it pulls the iron core toward it the plunger is forced into downward direction, which pushes the embossing tool against the work (raw) material, thus embossing is carried out, after making the electromagnet dead the spring pulls back the plunger into its original position making it ready for another working stroke, meanwhile the embossed piece of material is retracted.

Officials from the Office of Management and Budget directed DOD leaders to start assembling a framework to deal with the $500 billion in automatic defense cuts that will begin next year unless Congress passes legislation to stop them.
"We don't have all the specifics yet," DOD Press Secretary George Little said during a briefing at the Pentagon.
"This really just has begun. We don't have specifics on programs or personnel actions," he added, according to media reports.
The planning effort represents a major break from the Pentagon's policy to not take any action in response to the sequestration threat.
In September, DOD officials told The Hill that they had not taken sequestration into account when planning for the department's upcoming budget proposal for fiscal year 2013, and President Obama has long said that the cuts — which were set in motion by the debt-ceiling deal last year — should not happen.
"As we have said before, we are not planning for sequestration to take place, and that includes our work on the [fiscal] '14 budget," she told The Hill.
But with less than a month to go before the massive budget cuts go into effect, the White House's decision to order DOD to begin the planning process does not bode well for efforts on Capitol Hill to come up with a plan to duck sequestration.
The defense industry has lobbied tirelessly this year to prevent sequestration from taking effect, but is running out of time to prevent the first installment of the cuts — around $55 billion at the Pentagon — from being triggered on Jan. 3.
"We may not get a grand bargain in the next 28 days," Northrop Grumman CEO Wes Bush said during a speech on Tuesday.
However, the defense industry chief said there was "no reason" the White House and Congress could not come together and draft the framework to stop sequestration.
Developing that framework before the January deadline would allow Congress to "meet their obligations to us and the [American] public … to restore fiscal order" to the country, Pratt & Whitney President David Hess added during the same Tuesday speech in Washington.
Bush of Northrop Grumman said having a rough outline in place for a sequestration deal would also go a long way to alleviating the uncertainty in the defense sector about military spending and contracts.

The announcement that was made by our Prime Minister Narendra Modi and taken a hard decision on the demonetization of 500 and 1,000 notes in order to curb the scourge of Black Money became a talking point for more than a week.
Some have praised the daring move while others talk about the inconvenience it has caused to the common man but PM Narendra Modi's move to withdraw high-end currency notes of Rs 500 and Rs 1000 has been regarded a greater move in the benefit of the country and a large share of the population supports PM on this decision. Sonu Nigam is one of them and he conveyed it through a video narration.
In the video, the singer requests fellow countrymen to have patience as the future is bright. He begins by saying how music resides on a piece of paper (the video shows him reading a musical notation), how paper is vital for education, history resides on paper, wealth (Goddess Lakshmi) too resides on it and how paper helps spread the news.
Demonetization may not be an easy step but it is the first step towards a better tomorrow.

No Cook Fresh Tomato Sauce With Anchovy
Recipe by karen in tbay
Unfortunately I did not include where I copied this recipe from when I wrote it out on a scrap piece of paper. Probably out of a magazine in somebody's office. I have not tried yet since our tomato crop past harvest was almost nil.
Top Review by Ilysse
Good dish. I used whole wheat spaghetti, anchovy fillets, dried oregano and probably a little more EVOO than called for. We enjoyed it although next time I will try kalamata olives to give it some more flavour. Maybe some sun dried tomatoes and artichoke hearts too. I just found this a little too bland as it is. It is a nice light dish tho and good for a side dish as is. Thanks for poting.

Im 21 black male never had a girlfriend still a virgin and still feel lonely. Im on the fence on whether or not I should approach girls again. I work near a mall and at the mall there are always a lot of attractive girls there that I would like to approach but it doesn't necessarily have to be in a mall I just picked the mall cause I know that's the best place to go to find a lot of girls especially since its close to my job. I haven't approached any girls for a while and the reason why I stopped was because of constant rejections over and over again. I always feel like im not good enough or attractive enough to get a girl and when I approach them I do feel very nervous and I get shy sometimes too and usually I don't know what to say and I get too afraid that I may say the wrong thing and she will get turned off by it. It feels like when im trying to get a girls to like me back its like pulling teeth especially talking to girls who I find the most attractive. Im not sure if I want to go through this again cause I feel like if I approach girls again I will go back to getting my feelings hurt again constantly and its just not worth it. Recently I found out someone I know who also couldn't get women he ended up finally getting a girl and it made me feel worse cause I felt like he was better than me and there isn't any hope that I will get a girl. The reason I may sound so pessimistic is because I have always had bad luck with girls. I've never gotten a yes and its miserable to always get rejected constantly over and over again. When I approach girls I don't come off too strong cause im too nervous to do that anyway. Its hard for me to even say hi to a girl most of the time that's how bad it is for me. Should I keep trying or just give up in hopes that a girl will come when I least expect it which I doubt
Most Helpful Girl
well, i mean, how bad do you really want a girl? i wouldn't give up if i were you. but you may have some things to work on. confidence is key when it comes to us girls. we are pretty heartless sometimes (when it comes to rejection) but i think it's easiest to be that way towards timid and nervous men. we are all about ourselves at first... we like to be swept off our feet and most of us dont want to feel like the dominant ones in a relationship so a shy and nervous guy is literally an immediate turnoff. my suggestion to you is to work on building some confidence. i don't know if this works for guys too but i used to be on the same boat, timid and nervous and shy, but i started trying really hard to see good things in myself, i started dressing nicer, started to not compare myself to others, and this sounds so ridiculous but it worked: i hold my chin up when I walk in public. it gives me confidence, when i literally hold my head up high. girls are more attracted to a confident man than one who hides from girls. they don't want to do the work in initiating a relationship. in all honesty we expect way too much out of men but you'll never please a girl or get a girl if you hide from her and from yourself. don't be shy. no matter what you tell yourself, you're better and there IS a girl out there for you who will love everything about you. once you stop comparing your luck with girls to other men's, you'll realize that the girls who dont even do so much as give you one little chance are missing out. tell yourself that. i tell myself that. :) it really works. in the meantime, it never hurts to try making friends first. establish some strong friendships with lots of girls if you're comfortable with that because girls aren't so picky with their friends, and that way they can get to know you without feeling like they have to date you. if they see you for who you truly are in a friend perspective, there's no doubt that feelings could easily be developed. just don't give up. no girl will ever come prancing to you when you least expect it, and if they do, they're probably very desperate and that's not the girl you want. good luck, and sorry this was such a stinkin long opinion.00|00|0

Do we know what we're fighting for?… I fooled everyone and now what will I become? I have to start this over… There must be something more.

This year marks the 100th birthday of the helicopter, but it is actually difficult to be sure who deserves the title of "first to fly a manned rotorcraft." Frenchmen Louis Breguet, Paul Cornu and Maurice Léger all achieved some sort of takeoff in 1907, but in reality this branch of aviation began more than a century before. In his book, Hélicoptères–La genèse, de Léonard de Vinci à Louis Breguet, journalist and historian Bernard Bombeau documents a story that started much earlier than many imagine.
When talking about helicopter forefathers, many think of Leonardo da Vinci. One of the Italian genius's most famous sketches is that of a propeller that looks like a vertical helix and has a diameter measuring close to 65 feet. Da Vinci's sketch appears closer to a screw than a rotor with blades, and you can see it on the homepage of Agusta Aerospace's Web site, www.agusta.it. Eurocopter is also marking the helicopter's centenary at its Web site, www.eurocopter.com.
In 1754, in Russia, Mikhail Lomonosov tested a machine based on two four-blade contrarotating rotors. It was powered by a clockwork system. Lomonosov used it as a ground testbed that proved the spinning rotors elevated the machine. He even wrote about the lower and higher pressure above and below a blade, respectively. However, his "aerodromicheskaïa" never got off the ground.
Then in 1784, a French naturalist called Launoy and a physicist named Bienvenu presented an object to the Royal Science Academy in Paris–two contrarotating rotors made of two bird feathers each. One is attached to a bow; the other is attached to a stick positioned like an arrow. The bow's string is elastic and is winched around the vertical stick. When released, this sort of scientific toy literally jumped to the ceiling, Academy members reported. Launoy and Bienvenu performed public demonstrations, but the invention remained largely ignored. At the time, in the science of flight, the focus was definitely on balloons.
In 1784, Alban and Vallet built a hybrid aircraft composed of a hydrogen balloon and a sort of vertical, four-blade propeller. They reported vertical movements "without using gas or ballast"–the pilot's muscles powered the propeller.
In 1843, an Englishman also had an idea for a compound helicopter. George Cayley's "aerial carriage" had a sort of boat hull as a fuselage. Two pairs of contrarotating rotors provided lift. A horizontal-axis propeller, mounted at the rear, supplied thrust. Cayley built a model but could never find a suitable engine to test it.
The first mention of "helicopter" dates back to 1861. A Frenchman who patented his invention in London wrote about it in English. Gustave de Ponton d'Amécourt, a former sailor and a novelist, tested a small spring-powered model of a helicopter, with two contrarotating rotors. Later, in 1863, he tried the first steam-powered version but was able to record minimal elevation.
Imagining the Future
Paradoxically, designs that now appear as a possible future for helicopters were conceived before the now-conventional configuration–main rotor plus tail rotor. In 1861, in New York, inventor Mortimer Nelson patented a project dubbed "aerial car." Two pairs of four-blade contrarotating rotors were mounted on pylons that could tilt and thus provide lift when vertical or thrust when horizontal. This study, however, never made it off the paperboard.
Similarly, in 1876, Alphonse Pénaud in Paris patented another sort of tiltrotor. Two propellers could tilt. When their shafts were vertical, the lifting propellers were spinning inside a cutout in a wing. Pénaud found someone to manufacture the aircraft, but it was never built.
Enrico Forlanini in Alessandria, Italy, achieved some significant success. His 10-pound model, powered by a simplified steam engine, took off in 1877. It reached 43 feet and the flight lasted 20 seconds.
In 1893, American Charles Parsons managed to fly a small steam-powered model. It reached a height of 13 feet, but Parsons was too busy with other activities in the U.S. and dropped aeronautics.
A number of European countries have been involved in the early ages of helicopters.
For example, between 1895 and 1898, in Austria, Wilhelm Kress built a few small helicopters. One lifted off thanks to an electric powerplant on the ground. Two German researchers, the Achenbach brothers, were the first to come up with the idea of a tailrotor to counter the main rotor's torque, rather than two contrarotating main rotors. But the 1874 idea stayed on paper.
The short takeoff and vertical landing version of the F-35 Lightning II had a precursor as early as 1895. In Russia, Konovalov's project featured two main rotors in tandem configuration. The horizontal thrust from the two four-stroke engines' exhaust pipes was to help the aircraft taking off. However, pioneer Nikolaï Joukovski discouraged the country's minister of transport from funding the project. Konovalov dropped the idea of building his helicopter.
In France, Charles Renard helped helicopter theory advance when, in 1904, he obtained small liftoffs with his twin-rotor model powered by a three-horsepower Anzani internal combustion (IC) engine. It featured hinged rotor blades, which combined flexibility and stiffness.
Helicopters tried to compete with balloons before airplanes did. Nevertheless,
in the early 20th century, the success of airplanes may have deterred promoters
of vertical flight. For example, there was no full-scale helicopter at the Paris 1905 aviation competition.
Wilbur Wright once said that he and his brother Orville had a first glimpse at aviation thanks to small wooden helicopters, built from Cayley's and Pénaud's models. "But we quickly understood there was no future in such designs," he insisted.
In the late 19th and early 20th centuries, IC engines benefited from a sharp increase in power-to-weight ratio. Swiss brothers Henri and Armand Dufaux in 1905 used the 10-pound, three-horsepower engine they had designed for a moped. They succeeded in powering a small helicopter model.
That same year, Brazilian pioneer Alberto Santos-Dumont realized his helicopter was underpowered. After some rig tests in Paris, he stopped building it. If nothing else, the tests proved that the 24-hp Levavasseur Antoinette engine was too weak.
Léger, one of three 1907 newsmakers, had his first success in 1905. That year, he lifted a 220-pound payload, including a passenger, in Monaco. He based the aircraft on two contrarotating rotors, powered by an electric motor on the ground.
Cornu was born in a family of inventors. In 1904, with his father, he had built a small car powered by two single-cylinder IC engines that reached 47 mph.
Cornu realized he had been too optimistic about the theory of vertical flight when building a small prototype. This made it hard for him to set some key parameters, including blade pitch and rotation speed. But he succeeded and performed controlled (albeit unmanned) takeoffs in 1906. The aircraft had two seven-foot rotors and one two-horsepower IC engine. It weighed 30.5 pounds.
The French pioneer's full-scale helicopter was trickier to manufacture. The inventor had a hard time solving problems with skidding transmission belts. Finally, although witness reports somewhat conflict, in November 1907 Cornu took off in his aircraft, reportedly reaching a height of four feet.
The third 1907 helicopter newsmaker was Louis Breguet. A methodical character, Breguet started testing rotary wings on a testbed. In September 1907, his four-rotor, 50-horsepower "gyroplane" took off. Engineer Maurice Volumard was at the controls and the aircraft reached a reported two feet.

Fantasic theme + Lollipop colors Thank you for this awesome Layer ( theme ). I am running this on my Nexus 6 ROM AOSiP, and I love how you still kept the colorful look of Lollipop, but just changed the background to black. I don't like other dark themes that make everything white and black and no colors. You did it right. May I please request that you also apply this to Google Messenger, which is the SMS app I use, not the AOSP MMS, and Chrome browser if possible ? There is an issue running this Layer with Chrome. I can't see my settings or menu at all, it is totally white out, like invisible
Ray McGrath
AMAZING Incredible work! Thanks!

Looks great Please add play store and YouTube and it will be perfect...

It's Gary Good This theme is refined and elegant...it'll turn the disgusting white that Google seems hellbent to thrust upon their customers into a beautifully dark, masculine theme. This theme is exhilarating, and very Gary, in a totally new way...first class all around. Not flamboyant at all.

●~~None More Black~~● Fantastic theme! This is the look Google should have gone with in Lollipop....

Awesome Now that's called Dave's work

Framework needs some updates. The layer theme is awesome, however some white menus like nova settings and whatsapp message forwarding messags shows white text over white background. Haven't seen more apps showing behaviour like that but it can be the case. Just wanted to let you know.
Chris Harrington
Awesome for Amoled Few gripes like the settings page is white with white text so can't be read, but mostly everything else looks great

Juve duo going nowhere
By Nadia Carminati
Last Updated: 01/01/70 1:00am
Juventus duo Gianluigi Buffon and Zlatan Ibrahimovic want to stay at the club.Juventus duo Gianluigi Buffon and Zlatan Ibrahimovic have pledged their futures to the club.
The pair have been linked with possible moves away from Turin with Real Madrid believed to be keen on signing both players.
Italian international goalkeeper Buffon has no plans to leave Juve and has set his sights on helping the club win the UEFA Champions League.
"I want to stay in Turin and win the Champions League," said Buffon.
"I haven't had contact with Real."
Ibrahimovic echoed the sentiments of Buffon and he is also determined to win the Champions League with Juve and the European Player of the Year award.
"I'm fine here. Only staying in Turin will I have the possibility to win the Golden Ball," said Ibrahimovic.
"Our objective next year is the Champions League."
Meanwhile, Juventus general director Luciano Moggi insists the club will not sell Alessandro Del Piero.
The Bianconeri skipper has been linked with a move from Juve with the forward thought to be unhappy at being constantly substituted by Fabio Capello this season.
However, Moggi revealed the club have never thought about selling Del Piero.
"We have never thought about selling Alex," said Moggi. "He is a champion and you don't sell champions.
"He is a great player who has given a fundamental contribution to this season's scudetto success."

The threshold is a separation between areas. A typical threshold separates the exterior from the interior of your house at a door. If the threshold is broken down, it may allow water and air to penetrate your home and can cause damage to your laminate floors. When this is the case, the do-it-yourselfer can remove the old threshold and replace it with a new one that will seal out the elements from your home.
Things You'll Need
- Tape measure
- Circular saw
- Utility knife
- Putty knife
- Pry bar
- Scrap piece if wood
- Metal hack saw
- Jig saw
- Silicon adhesive
- Caulk gun
- Screw gun
Remove The Threshold
Purchase the new threshold before you remove the old one. You do not want to leave your home exposed to the elements. Use a tape measure to gauge the proper size.
Remove the old threshold. Most exterior thresholds are aluminum with a rubber gasket. Many times the gasket can be replaced. If this is not the case, adjust a circular saw depth of cut to 3/8-inch deep. This will allow you to cut the threshold without damaging the floor. Cut the threshold into two pieces.
Cut any caulking that is between the threshold and the door jamb and casing. This will make it easier to remove the threshold. Use a sharp utility knife and a putty knife.
Pry out the old threshold from the center where you cut the threshold in two. Use a pry bar and a scrap piece of wood for this. Many times the threshold will have an adhesive holding it in position.
Install new Threshold
Clean off the subfloor where the new threshold will be installed. Scrape off any glue or silicon adhesive with a heavy-duty putty knife. Measure the opening for the new threshold. This is the width you will need to cut the new threshold to fit. Use a tape measure to measure the door opening where the threshold will be installed.
Cut the new threshold to length using a metal hack saw or a jig saw with a metal blade. Dry fit the threshold into the opening to check the fit.
Remove the threshold and apply a silicon adhesive to the subfloor. Use a caulk gun for this. Put the new threshold in place, making sure the back of the threshold is pushed back against the laminate flooring so no gaps are visible.
Use a screw gun to screw the threshold in place with the supplied anchors.
Caulk with a caulk gun a good silicon between the door and the threshold.
Tips & Warnings
- Wear knee pads to protect your knees while working on the floor.
- Wear safety glasses when operating power tools.
