Hello, Goodbye, Hello
It's been a busy three days filled with hellos, goodbyes and more hellos. Thursday John gave Keegan a bath in the laundry tub so he'd be spic and span for when his owners got home. All it requires is warm water, mild shampoo, bath towel and a hair brush and a pup who enjoys being pampered.

Values in Exchange: Ambiguous Ownership, Collective Action, and Changing Notions of Worth in Romanian Mutual Fund Industry
This paper analyzes the political disputes and legal contentions occasioned by the process of regulatory reform undergone by Romanian mutual fund industry. Stirred by Romania's accession into the European Union in 2007 and prompted by the numerous financial scandals affecting the market right from its creation in 1994, the reform is meant as a reconfiguration of the investment philosophy characterizing the capital market. My claim is that the uneasy reception of the new institutional arrangement is related to the shifting premises for the formation of value and the deeper changes in the prevalent conceptions of worth associated with Romania's economic transition.

The only real progress lies in learning to be wrong all alone. ~Albert Camus
On Friday, Kyle decided he wanted to go to the movies. He said, "It's a perfect day for the movies, isn't it Aunt Heather?" It wasn't that hot, but it was muggy and humid, raining off and on all day long. It was one of those days, a perfect time to spend sitting in a dry, dark, air-conditioned movie theater, at least that's what I was told. Yes buddy, you've got the ticket!
Movie of choice? Percy Jackson: Sea of Monsters, since Kyle was a fan of Percy Jackson & the Olympians: The Lightening Thief, he wanted to see the next serious in the novel set. Kyle made his choice with such conviction and without thought, I immediately knew he was planning on making that suggestion all day. Well, I was wrong! According to Aunt Nikki, Kyle was talking about that movie when he saw the trailer during 'Aunt Nikki and Kyle's Week of Fun.' I should have known.
OK, I'll bite. I asked Kyle to look up the movie times, as well as what other movies were playing, just so I could make the best choice. His answer? "Umm that's really about it." Doubt it, but I'll play along because I too wanted to see the movie.
After eating dinner with my parents we got ready to embark on a new adventure that includes Greek gods and popcorn. Once we got there, I changed my mind. Seeing the list of movies playing, I remembered what I wanted to see with Kyle, Wolverine! After making my argument, with all the enthusiasm I could muster, I was denied. Kyle wouldn't even hear of it, even thought he really wanted to see Wolverine too. Kyle had it in his head we were going to see Percy Jackson: Sea Monsters and that was that! Gotta respect someone who can make a solid decision in the face of choices and stick to his guns.
How did I get into this position in the first place? I wasn't planning on going to the movies, but what the heck, I missed Kyle and spending any time with him is a good time. So into the movie theater we marched.
As we made our way to our seats, we began a reoccurring argument, 'Where are we going to sit?' I prefer sitting more up high towards the back and Kyle insists on sitting low and close. The same crossroads we have come to since I can remember. Usually I put my foot down and make Kyle's choice for him and that's that. Usually.
This time was no exception, with an exception. ...
Reach how my heart was broken & put back together again Together Alone - Movie Night

It can take years as well. In the words of the UK Ambassador, Sir Ivan Rogers, who sang his swan song few days back saying that "Brexit negotiations can take up to 10 years." The elections in France and then afterwards in Germany and Netherlands also pose threat to the integration of EU subsequently affecting the economic health of the zone.
US dollar is in news of-late. It has surged to a 14 years high. This rally has pros and cons. More cons if we consider the plight of the countries that have to buy the commodities in US dollars. A strong dollar may prove detrimental for US companies as the demand for their products outside US becomes low. Last year when Federal Reserve Bank of America increased its interest rate by 0.25 percent the US Iphone giant---Apple Inc. suffered a loss of billions as its demand in China (which constitutes one third of demand for Iphone) plunged down. A strong dollar creates trouble for other countries as well. China, of-late, is fighting a 'capital flight'. Around $500bn of capital has fluttered from China and settled into US.
Crude Oil which was the most talked about commodity in 2016 (actually it has always been) has seen its best year after 2014. While touching $26 a barrel it now stands at $56 in the aftermath of the Vienna deal on November 30th. The OPEC and NOPEC oil producers have been successful reaching an entente which will take out 1.8 mbpd of supply out of the glut. The deal has been put into effect from 1st January and a meeting has been called for monitoring the results (too early) on 21st and 22nd January. Future of oil prices solely depends upon the cooperation between the OPEC and NOPEC members. Especially, Russia. Albeit, the history of cooperation in past is checkered this time the countries seem serious. And there is a reason for it. Saudi Arabia, who has taken the largest individual production cut, has suffered a lot from this war between Sheikhs and Shale. Russia is tackling a declining economy as it suffers from low oil prices and sanctions from the West. Venezuela is the worst of all. Not only economically but also politically. There is a referendum brewing there as well. The threat to the deal however comes from the countries that have been given exemption: Nigeria, Libya, and Iraq. Libya, few days ago, added 85,000 of barrels in production. The deal hinges on the whims of the leaders but the case should have been otherwise.
China economy is still in the process of shifting from Old to New. Chinese growth is expected to slow down from 6.7pc to 6.5 pc this year. A troublesome real-estate market, less investments and other structural issues further fuels the concerns. Russia's economy is expected to do well—but only slight—as the prospects of oil prices improve. Europe is preparing to embrace with a rightist flood and on-going refugee crisis. And we hope that it gets through with it. Middle-East especially Syria, is, of-late experiencing a truce but as it has always been, this peace is extremely susceptible and temporary.
The world in 2017 is full of challenges. It is up to us, now, either we deal with them or they with us.

Chinese Girls: How To Get Them Home
jWhat the world is missing out on is Chinese girls. With the hype being around Japanese and Korean girls, Chinese girls get left in the dust. For those reading this, you are in luck! The market is still left untapped and ready for you. From their cute smiles to kitchen skills, Chinese girls will have you falling for their traps and their country in no time.
Chinese Culture
Chinese girls are still upheld to the traditional feminine gender roles. Although more and more girls are getting jobs, the majority are still performing old school matriarchal duties. These duties are pretty much common sense; meaning that their roles include: cleaning the house, taking care of money and taking care of the children. The gender roles differentiate by which are of China you are traveling in. Chinese girls that come from the city may be more independent, as well as less conventional. Girls from the country tend to be more traditional.
Like most of of the country, Chinese girls have become increasingly fond of Western culture. This gives you an advantage while you are out hunting game. Being a foreigner in China is a HUGE plus when you are trying to get laid. Chinese girls just like white guys. If you are the typical tall, blonde hair blue eyed dude, you're going to be a celebrity (and get lots of Chinese girls). Be prepared. These women will try to make you a boyfriend.
What Are Chinese Girls Like?
Holding the traditional gender roles means holding femininity. Chinese girls are very girly, sweet and stunningly beautiful. hat differs Chinese girls from the rest of Asia is how sweet they are. In China, they are valued by these traits so they use this to their advantage as much as possible. The cutesy act (called sa jiao) is apart of women's culture and is used to have men do whatever they want.
There are tons of girls to choose from depending on where you are. They are not as niche and quirky as Japanese girls, however, you will be able to find a type you like. Physically, Chinese girls are attractive and have pretty good bodies. Money plays a huge role in how pretty girls are. Northern Chinese girls are tall and soft with rounder faces. Whereas Southern girls are a little bigger but still really sexy. Regardless of your province, Chinese girls have the biggest tits in Asia hands on… down.
Due to the traditional taboo revolving around sex, Chinese girls are generally less sexually experienced than you. This isn't a bad thing though. I've found that Chinese girls tend to be more flexible in bed and willing to try new things. Girl on girl play, toys, crazy positions. They are horny just like the rest of us and it shows once you get behind closed doors. They are curious and want you to feel good, which is always a good trait to have in bed.
Chinese Food!
One thing we had to bring up here is how good the Chinese food is that these girls make. Time to ditch the shitty take out you're used to and have a Chinese girl make some grub for you. You don't have to feel guilty either! Chinese girls are eager to please and enjoy making food for their man. Depending on what province of China they are from, you will taste food like you've never had before. This rule doesn't always apply to girls from the city. They tend to not be as good at cooking than their rural sisters.
Game in China
Getting a Chinese girl in bed is different than in the Western world. Chinese girls are usually hiding behind their feels and do not react to your smooth talk. Anything you would say or do to pick up a white girl, do the exact opposite for Chinese women. You can easily screw up and lose a potential lay if you say the wrong things.
Getting laid in China is a lot easier when you know Chinese. As foreigners, they don't expect us to speak Mandarin or Cantonese, so really blow them away when you use your funny white guy Mandarin while you are on a date. I used Rocket Chinese for the best free language learning before I went to Shanghai and Chinese girls loved it. They thought I was cute, but hey it did the job.
You Love China
I would say fake that you love China while you're on a date, but you will end up loving it anyway. Knowing some key China facts before you go will help. Learn about your favorite dishes, cool spots in the city you're going to be in, etc etc. 10 times out of 10 she will be smiling when you tell her how much you love her country. If you're really desperate, tell her you're settling into China and want her to teach you the way.
Compliments For Chinese Girls
Focusing on the good aspects of your date, and letting her know, will greatly increase your chances of getting her home. Different from white women, you can't just say, "You look beautiful" and expect an in. Chinese girls want to know what looks beautiful on them. They want to make sure you don't say this to just any girl. Feed her specific compliments like, "you look beautiful in that dress" or "your hair color looks beautiful on you."
Overdoing the complement is not a bad move here. Specifics, remember? Move away from the general complement and really be persistent. You can exaggerate and come up with the craziest complements and Chinese girls will love them. Talk about her personality. Find out what she does for a living, her education and most of all… tell her she's CUTE. As we mentioned, the culture of Chinese women is to express their cuteness and femininity.
The Do Not's
There are a few do not do's when you are attempting to pick up a Chinese girl. Never call her funny. The term funny for a girl carries a negative stigma in China, you're better off saying she's cute. Don't be overly funny with sarcasm and jokes. Sarcasm is not commonplace in China and Chinese girls won't take a liking to it. When they ask how many girls you've been with, flat out lie. Telling your truth will result in failure.
Dating Apps
There are plenty of dating apps to find Chinese girls in the mainland. The best I've used was ChinaLoveCupid for the hooking up with the hottest girls and easiest way to get started talking to them. Sign up for ChinaLoveCupid now and lock in your date before you get into town!

Just close your eyes and focus on your breathing, using your abdomen, take rapid breaths continuously. Repeat for 2-3 minutes and then relax. Repeat the procedure.
2. Shavasana: Lie down straight on your back and your arms by your side, palms touching the ground and feet facing the sky. Just leave your body loose and focus on your breathing pattern. Concentrate on yourself and make sure each body part is relaxed. Stay in the pose for 5-10 minutes.
3. Sukasana: Sit with your legs crossed. If you can't, for some reason, or if you are a beginner, place a rolled towel under your tailbone. Place your right hand on your heart and left hand on your belly and close your eyes. Breathe slowly and close your eyes and concentrate on your breathing. Be in the pose for 5 minutes and then relax.
4. Butterfly Pose: Sit with your soles joined together and your knees facing outwards, just like butterfly wings. Now, holding your ankles, pull your heels towards your hips. Again, concentrate on your breathing and fold your body forward. Count till 10, till you maintain the pose.
5. Bridge Pose: Lie flat on your back, with your arms parallel to your body. Now, bend your knees and bring your feet close to your butt. Like this, your feet are directly under your knees. Gradually, lift your butts up off the floor along with your lower back, and hands should be straight and chest should be expanding. Hold for 30 seconds to 1 minute. Concentrate on your breathing. To get back, get down slowly, taking care of your back and butt region.
6. Straddled Splits: Sit with your legs apart and heels flexed. Be firm in the position with a deep breath and raise your arms up. Now, as you exhale, fold your body forwards and get your hands in front of you. Count till 5 and maintain the pose.
By following these 6 easy poses, you can get away with your problem within no time and can let your lungs breathe freely as well, without using a puff. So, just relax and enjoy your daily YOGA sessions.

Max-Min SINR Coordinated Multipoint Downlink Transmission - Duality and Algorithms
This paper considers the max-min weighted Signal-to-Interference-plus-Noise Ratio (SINR) problem subject to multiple weighted-sum power constraints, where the weights can represent relative power costs of serving different users. First, the authors study the power control problem. They apply nonlinear Perron-Frobenius theory to derive closed-form expressions for the optimal value and solution and an iterative algorithm which converges geometrically fast to the optimal solution. Then, they use the structure of the closed-form solution to show that the problem can be decoupled into sub-problems each involving only one power constraint. Next, they study the Multiple-Input-Single-Output (MISO) transmit beamforming and power control problem.

I recently let you in on my favourite long term family travel blogs that I regularly follow. Here's the link to those travelling immortals if you missed it.
When I wrote that post I promised you a list of the single travellers I keep tabs on and here it is!
Imagine you can escape on a long term travel adventure and you only have yourself to worry about. Imagine going wherever you want, not having to ask permission, make allowances for anyone else and doing what you like. Imagine falling asleep in cafes while the weirdo Pedersens take your photo and use it in their blog posts!!
That's the freedom that single travellers have! No little people to worry about. Just their own wims to follow. I'm a tiny bit jealous!
So let's see who my favourite stalking victims are….
Unbrave Girl – Here's a girl after my own heart. She loves food and her couch (how could you not love her?) Sally has been teaching English in China and regaling us all with stories of being stared at and people wearing their pyjamas. Oh, and of chinese men falling madly in love with her – all of which she had to give up when she recently returned to the states. Culture shock posts are sure to follow due to the sheer volume of cheese in American supermarkets! (Check the link you'll know what I mean – who knew grocery shopping is a blood sport in China?)
The Expert Vagabond – How could you not love a blogger named Matthew? Everyone knows the Matthews in the world get into the most trouble and do the most outrageous things (my own Matthew at home is proof of this – though he has made it to 19!) If you click no other link on this whole page please, please, please read this one! Matthew had his computer stolen by prostitutes in Panama and the link is the story of the recovery. It's a truly priceless story. Complete with nose-pickers and porn – the stuff all the best stories are full of!! You can also buy prints of Matthew's travel photos – there are some great ones to choose from and the prices are super REASONABLE! If I had a house I would SO buy one!
Backpacker Banter – This blog is an unusual one for me to follow. I don't usually follow the (much) younger than me kids who like to party. But this one is a little bit different. This one has the gory party stories but with a teensy touch of sensible thrown in. Not a boring amount but enough to keep me interested in following! In fact I had trouble choosing which post to link to from Backpacker Banter – so I picked the 10 Worst Travel Stories post! This one has links to all my favourites. Like how Chris got stung by a stingray – not once but twice in a week! Or how he awoke to a hostel manager going bat-shit crazy!! Or that time he was in a nude movie in Australia to make more money to travel! Umm..yep…you can see the crazy attraction for me huh?
And that's it for the single kids! Not a very long list – I have to admit I don't follow a lot of the single travellers. We are kind of inhabiting different travel worlds. Although there are some great travel information posts on some of their sites, we all know I mostly follow blogs that make me laugh!
Are there any other single bloggers I should be following? Leave me a note in the comments below and I'll check them out!

Insulin resistance (IR) impairs vascular responses in peripheral arteries. However, the effects of IR on cerebrovascular control mechanisms are completely unexplored. We examined the vascular function of isolated middle cerebral arteries (MCAs) from fructose-fed IR and control rats. Endothelium-dependent vasodilation elicited by bradykinin (BK) was reduced in IR compared with control MCAs. Maximal dilation to BK (10−6 M) was 38 ± 3% (n = 13) in control and 19 ± 3% (n = 10) in IR arteries (P < 0.01).N ω-nitro-l-arginine methyl ester (l-NAME; 10 μM) decreased responses to BK in control arteries by ∼65% and inhibited the already reduced responses completely in IR MCAs. Indomethacin (10 μM) reduced relaxation to BK in control MCAs by ∼40% but was largely ineffective in IR arteries. Combined l-NAME and indomethacin treatments eliminated the BK-induced dilation in both groups. Similarly to BK, endothelium-mediated and mainly cyclooxygenase (COX)-dependent dilation to calcium ionophore A23187 was reduced in IR arteries compared with controls. In contrast, vascular relaxation to sodium nitroprusside was similar between the IR and control groups. These findings demonstrate that endothelium-dependent dilation in cerebral arteries is impaired in IR primarily because of a defect of the COX-mediated pathways. In contrast, nitric oxide-mediated dilation remains intact in IR arteries.

insulin resistance(IR) is a major and growing health problem and is associated with vascular dysfunction, arterial hypertension, coronary artery disease, and stroke (1, 2, 4, 7, 8, 21, 24). However, the mechanisms of vascular dysfunction in IR are little understood and appear to vary according to the vascular segment examined. In small resistance arteries from mesenteric and coronary circulations, for example, endothelium-mediated dilator responses involving synthesis and action of endothelium-derived hyperpolarizing factors (EDHFs) are reduced in IR rats (11, 13, 17, 18). In these same arteries, dilator responses to nitric oxide (NO)-dependent dilators or exogenous NO are intact. In contrast, in conduit vessels such as the common carotid artery and the aorta of rats, NO-mediated dilator responses are impaired in IR (5, 10, 22). Unfortunately, few data are available concerning other vascular beds such as the cerebral circulation. Although it is well accepted that control mechanisms in the cerebral vascular bed are distinct from those of other peripheral circulations, no previous studies have examined the effects of IR on cerebral resistance vessels, despite the fact that IR is an independent risk factor in stroke (1, 2). Impaired endothelium-centered dilator responsiveness may compromise the ability of cerebral arteries to respond to normal physiological stimuli and lead to neuronal cell injury or death because of a mismatch between blood flow and metabolic demand during conditions such as seizures. Furthermore, reduced dilator responsiveness of cerebral arteries may alter the extent of neurological injury after occlusive or hemorrhagic strokes.
The purpose of the present study was to examine the effects of IR on endothelium-dependent dilator responses in the rat middle cerebral artery (MCA) and to test the hypothesis that endothelium-dependent dilator responses of the MCA would be impaired in IR rats. We used a well-established model in which IR was induced by the feeding of a high-fructose diet. Fructose-fed rats within the conditions of the current study are characterized as having hyperinsulinemia but being normotensive and normoglycemic (12). In the cerebral circulation, the MCA is an important resistance vessel.
The experimental protocol was approved by the Animal Care and Use Committee at Wake Forest University School of Medicine. Male Sprague-Dawley rats were obtained at 6 wk of age and randomized into one of the following two groups: 1) control (n = 31) and 2) IR (n = 30) rats. Animals in the IR group were fed a fructose-rich diet containing 66% fructose, 22% casein, and 12% lard, plus essential vitamins and minerals (Teklad Labs, Madison, WI), whereas control animals received standard rat chow. After a 4-wk diet treatment, the rats (in a fasting state) were anesthetized with pentobarbital sodium (50 mg/kg ip) and anticoagulated with heparin sodium (500 U ip).
Biochemical measurements.
To confirm that fructose-fed rats were indeed insulin resistant, we measured plasma insulin and glucose levels after 12-h fasting with a rat insulin ELISA kit (Crystal Chemical, Chicago, IL) and Trinder reagent (Sigma, St. Louis, MO), respectively. Fasting glucose levels were similar between the two groups (115 ± 5 mg/dl for control rats and 132 ± 6 mg/dl for IR rats), whereas insulin was markedly increased in the IR rats (557 ± 97 pg/ml for control rats and 1,471 ± 272 pg/ml for IR rats; P < 0.05).
Determination of vascular reactivity.
After decapitation, the brain was removed immediately and placed in cold, oxygenated modified Krebs-Ringer bicarbonate solution (in mM: 119 NaCl, 4.7 KCl, 24 NaHCO3, 1.18 KH2PO4, 1.17 MgSO4, 0.026 EDTA, 1.6 CaCl2, and 5.5 glucose). With the aid of a dissecting microscope, both MCAs were carefully harvested beginning 3–4 mm distal from the circle of Willis. A section of the MCA (∼2 mm in length) was transferred to a vessel chamber and mounted and secured between two glass micropipettes with a 10-0 ophthalmic suture. The vessel chamber was transferred to an inverted light microscope stage coupled to a video dimension analyzer (Living Systems Instrumentation, Burlington, VT). The video dimension analyzer was connected to both a video monitor (for visualization of the vessel) and a strip-chart recorder (Kipp and Zonen) for constant recording of the intraluminal diameter of the vessel. Oxygenated (20% O2-5% CO2-75% N2) Krebs solution, maintained at 37°C, was continuously circulated through the vessel bath. In addition, the lumen of the vessel was filled with Krebs solution through the micropipettes and maintained at a constant pressure of 80 mmHg. Drugs were added into the bath solution, and only one concentration-response experiment was performed per artery.
After mounting and pressurization, the MCAs from either control or IR rats developed spontaneous tone by constricting to ∼70% of the initial diameter over the course of 1 h. However, to facilitate the analysis of dilatory responses, we added appropriate amounts of endothelin (ET)-1 to increase tone and constrict the arteries to ∼60% of the initial diameter. This provided a wider range for analysis of diameter changes during relaxation and provided a similar level of initial vascular constriction. There was no significant difference in the responses of control and IR arteries to ET-1, and we added roughly the same amount of ET-1 to both sets of arteries (control: 0.12 ± 0.04 nM; IR: 0.11 ± 0.04 nM). Experimental protocols were not initiated until the vessel diameter was stable over a 15-min period.
We tested endothelium-dependent vasodilation by performing concentration-response experiments with bradykinin (BK; 10−9–10−6 M) and calcium ionophore A23187 (10−9–3 × 10−8 M). Typically, MCAs were exposed to each dose of drugs for at least 6 min and maximal responses were determined. The relaxations induced by these drugs at these concentrations were mediated via the endothelium, because the dilatory responses disappeared after endothelial denudation with intraluminally applied air. However, doses of A23187 higher than 3 × 10−8 M caused variable responses even in the denuded vessels, including both constriction and dilation, so these doses were excluded from the analysis.
The roles of NO synthase (NOS) and cyclooxygenase (COX) in endothelium-dependent vasodilation to BK were evaluated by pretreatment of the MCAs with eitherN ω-nitro-l-arginine methyl ester (l-NAME; 10 μM) or indomethacin (10 μM) in separate sets of experiments. The presence of a possible non-NOS-dependent, non-COX-dependent mechanism was verified with the coapplication of these two drugs. Both l-NAME and indomethacin were administered after the development of spontaneous tone and 15 min before the beginning of measurements of concentration responses to BK. These doses of l-NAME and indomethacin were previously shown to be effective on isolated rat MCAs (15, 26). Because l-NAME pretreatment constricted the MCAs, enhancement of arterial tone by ET-1 was not necessary in these experiments.
For A23187, we examined the role of COX products in dilator responses. Thus 10 μM indomethacin was applied before A23187 application. Endothelium-independent relaxation was assessed by sodium nitroprusside (SNP; 10−8–3 × 10−4M) after the blockade of basal NO synthesis by l-NAME (10 μM).
BK, l-NAME, SNP, and ET-1 were obtained from Sigma, whereas indomethacin was obtained from Merck and A23187 from Calbiochem. Drugs were dissolved in Krebs solution, except for A23187, which was dissolved in DMSO and Krebs. The same concentration of DMSO alone had no effect on vessel diameter.
Data analysis.
All data are expressed as means ± SE. Amplitude of vascular relaxations was calculated as a percentage of preconstriction values. The concentration-response curves were evaluated at each concentration for differences between treated and untreated arteries from control and IR groups with analysis of variance followed by Tukey's post hoc test. The criterion for significance was P < 0.05.
Mean body weight was similar in the two groups of animals [326 ± 4 g for control and 330 ± 2 g for IR rats; not significant (NS)].
The maximal intraluminal diameter of the MCAs immediately after pressurization did not differ between the two groups [235 ± 2 μm for control (n = 49) and 232 ± 2 μm for IR (n = 44)]. Spontaneously developed tone was also similar: the MCAs constricted to 71 ± 1% and 69 ± 1% of the initial diameter in the control and IR groups, respectively.
Although BK induced concentration-dependent relaxation in both control and IR arteries, responses were significantly reduced in the IR group (Fig. 1). Maximum relaxation to BK was 38 ± 3% in the control (10−6 M; n = 13) and 19 ± 3% in the IR (10−6 M;n = 10) MCAs (P < 0.01). In denuded arteries, maximum relaxation to BK was 6 ± 2% (10−6M; n = 4).
Treatment with l-NAME potentiated the spontaneously developed tone similarly in both groups of arteries and constricted the control and IR MCAs to 51 ± 3% (n = 14) and 58 ± 2% (n = 12; NS), respectively, of initial diameter. Furthermore, l-NAME reduced the dilation to BK by ∼65% in the control arteries (Fig.2 A) and completely eliminated the already reduced dilator responses in IR MCAs (Fig. 2 B). Maximum relaxation to BK after l-NAME was 13 ± 2% in control (10−6 M; n = 8) and 1.6 ± 3% in IR (10−7 M; n = 6) arteries.
Indomethacin did not change the basal tone either in control or in IR vessels. Relaxation to BK in the control arteries was reduced significantly in the presence of indomethacin (Fig.3 A), whereas the dilation to BK in the IR arteries remained unchanged (Fig. 3 B). Thus maximum relaxation to BK after indomethacin was comparable in the control and IR arteries [22 ± 2% (10−6 M;n = 7) and 17 ± 3% (10−6 M;n = 8), respectively].
Coadministration of l-NAME and indomethacin almost completely blocked the BK-induced dilations in both groups of arteries (Fig. 3). The maximum relaxations were 6 ± 2% (10−7M; n = 9) and 4 ± 2% (10−7 M;n = 6) in the control and IR vessels, respectively.
Similar to BK, A23187-induced dilation was also decreased in IR arteries (Fig. 4). The maximum relaxation was 28 ± 2% in control (3 × 10−8 M;n = 6) and 10 ± 4% in IR (3 × 10−8 M; n = 8, P < 0.01) MCAs. A23187-induced dilation in control arteries was markedly inhibited either by pretreatment with indomethacin or by endothelial denudation. Maximum relaxation to A23187 (3 × 10−8 M) was 7 ± 1% (n = 4) in indomethacin-treated MCAs (Fig. 4) and 1 ± 2% (n= 4) in denuded arteries.
In contrast, dilator responses to SNP were virtually identical in control and IR arteries (Fig. 5). Maximum relaxation to SNP was 97 ± 1% in control (3 × 10−4 M; n = 6) and 97 ± 2% in IR (3 × 10−4 M; n = 6) arteries.
The major finding of this study is that IR impairs the endothelium-mediated dilation in cerebral arteries. BK-induced relaxation, mediated through the activation of NOS and COX, is reduced by 50% in IR arteries compared with controls. We found that the diminished vascular relaxation in IR arteries was due to a defect of the COX-mediated pathway, whereas endothelial NO-mediated dilation as well as vascular smooth muscle sensitivity to exogenous NO remained intact. Dilation to calcium ionophore A23187, mediated mainly by COX metabolites, is also reduced in IR MCAs, demonstrating that impaired endothelium-mediated dilation is not specific to BK.
IR has been shown to alter vascular reactivity in various peripheral circulatory regions, leading to impaired arterial relaxation (5,16, 24). Although the mechanisms by which the improper insulin signaling leads to diminished arterial dilation are not completely understood, it is clear that multiple regulatory mechanisms are involved and that these mechanisms vary depending on the specific vascular segment being investigated. For example, in small mesenteric and coronary arteries of IR rats, acetylcholine- and BK-induced relaxation is diminished because of the impaired EDHF-mediated dilation, whereas relaxation via NO-mediated mechanisms remains intact. In these arteries, cytochrome P-450 activity is reduced, resulting in decreased endothelial release of EDHF with additional dysfunction of EDHF-responsive K+ channels in the vascular smooth muscle (11, 13, 16-18). In contrast, in large conductive arteries, such as the carotid artery or the aorta of IR rats, the main cause of impaired dilation is a defect of NOS-mediated relaxation. Decreased NOS activity and elevated production of free oxygen radicals lead to lowered production and higher breakdown of NO (5, 10, 22). To reveal which mechanisms are responsible for the impaired endothelium-dependent relaxation of cerebral arteries in IR, we examined the two most significant endothelium-dependent dilatory mechanisms in the cerebral circulation, the NOS- and COX-mediated pathways. We found that, similar to other vascular beds, endothelium-dependent dilation of cerebral arteries is impaired in IR; however, the mechanisms leading to the vascular dysfunction are different.
In contrast to carotid arteries or aorta (5, 10, 22), but similar to mesenteric or coronary arteries (13, 17, 18), in the rat MCA both basal endothelial NO production and NO-mediated dilation remain intact in IR. The following evidence supports this statement. First, spontaneously developed vascular tone was similar in the control and IR MCAs. NO has an important role in regulating the basal tone of cerebral arteries (3, 6), and thus the lack of basal NO production would have led to higher vascular tone. Furthermore, treatment with l-NAME constricted the control and IR MCAs similarly, showing that tonic NO production was comparable in the two groups of arteries. The NO-mediated dilation to BK also remains intact in the IR arteries; moreover, this is the only remaining mechanism mediating BK-induced relaxation in IR. In control arteries pretreatment with l-NAME blocked ∼65% of the BK-induced relaxation, whereas in the IR MCAs response to BK was completely inhibited by l-NAME (Fig. 2). Furthermore, the finding that SNP relaxed the control and IR arteries equally shows that vascular smooth muscle sensitivity to NO is also unaffected by IR (Fig. 5). However, because our experiments were carried out without intraluminal perfusion of the arteries, it should be considered that although NO function in IR arteries seems to be intact to pharmacological stimulation, flow-induced endothelial NO release might be affected.
We found that in cerebral arteries vascular relaxation is impaired in IR because of a defect of the COX-mediated pathway. In control MCAs, indomethacin reduced the response to BK by ∼40%; however, in IR arteries, blockade of COX had no effect on the already diminished BK-induced relaxation (Fig. 3). Thus, in the presence of indomethacin, responses to BK were comparable in the control and IR arteries. It is not clear from our results, however, which parts of the COX-mediated pathway are affected. Decreased substrate availability to COX, decreased expression or activity of the enzyme, and decreased effects of COX products all can be the cause of vascular dysfunction. Activation of COX by BK results in increased endothelial production of prostacyclin, superoxide anion, and hydrogen peroxide, all of which are capable of acting like EDHF and relaxing cerebral arteries by opening ATP-dependent or Ca2+-activated K+ channels in vascular smooth muscle cells (9, 14, 23, 25). Thus one possible explanation for the impaired COX-mediated relaxation in IR is a similar dysfunction of K+ channels in the vascular smooth muscle cells of cerebral arteries that was found in mesenteric and coronary arteries. However, in the mesenteric and coronary arteries, the EDHFs are produced mainly by cytochrome P-450 and act primarily on Ca2+-activated K+channels (11, 13, 17, 18), whereas in the MCA, EDHFs mediating responses to BK are COX metabolites (i.e., prostacyclin, superoxide anion, hydrogen peroxide) and are able to activate both ATP-dependent and Ca2+-activated K+ channels (9, 14, 23, 25). Because the combination ofl-NAME and indomethacin completely blocked the BK-induced relaxation, it is clear that there is no main non-NOS-mediated, non-COX-mediated mechanism, which would play a significant role in the relaxation of rat MCA to BK. However, in smaller cerebral arteries, other mediators can also be involved in the mediation of BK-induced responses, and these might be affected differently by IR.
To confirm these findings with BK, we examined vascular responses to calcium ionophore A23187 and found that A23187-induced relaxation was also diminished in IR arteries. A23187 increases intracellular Ca2+ in the endothelial cells, which leads to COX-mediated vasodilation in the cerebral circulation (19,20). In accordance with these reports, we found that relaxation to A23187 was mediated mainly by COX, because indomethacin inhibited A23187-mediated dilations almost completely (Fig. 4). These results support the hypothesis that endothelial COX-dependent dilation is impaired in IR and indicate that this vascular dysfunction is not specific to BK-induced relaxation.
In summary, we conclude that endothelium-dependent vasodilation of MCAs from IR rats is markedly reduced compared with controls. It appears that impaired dilation is attributable to a defect in the COX-mediated pathway, whereas basal NO production as well as NO-mediated vascular responses remain intact.

Christian Values
In this world that is tossed to and fro, by every wind of doctrine,( Ephesians 4:14 ) by the philosophy, vain deceit and traditions of men, ( Colossians 2:8 ) as Christians, what are we to believe?
Jesus said in Matthew 4:4 " Man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word that proceeds out of the mouth of God." It's in God's word that we find stability, assurance, and a firm foundation on which to base our beliefs. To be sure, this will at times put us in direct conflict with the teachings of unregenerated man. Hopefully, this study course will give the reader a foundation, pertaining to earthly things, that involve our Christian way of life.
Matthew 7:24-25 Therefore whosoever heareth these sayings of mine, and doeth them, I will liken him unto a wise man, which built his house upon a rock
Vs.25 And the rain descended, and the floods came, and the winds blew, and beat upon that house; and it fell not: for it was founded upon a rock.
The Family
HEBREWS 13:4 Marriage is honorable in all, and the bed undefiled: but whoremongers and adulterers God will judge.
MARK 10:6-9 But from the beginning of the creation God made them male and female.
Vs.7 For this cause shall a man leave his father and mother, and cleave to his wife;
Vs.8 And they twain shall be one flesh: so then they are no more twain, but one flesh.
Vs.9 What therefore God hath joined together, let not man put asunder.
1. Duties of Husbands

PROVERBS 5:18-19 Let thy fountain be blessed: and rejoice with the wife of thy youth.
Vs.19 Let her be as the loving hind and pleasant roe; let her breast satisfy thee at all times; and be thou ravished always with her love.
ECCLESIASTES 9:9 Live joyfully with the wife whom thou lovest all the days of the life of thy vanity, which he hath given thee under the sun, all the days of thy vanity: for that is thy portion in this life, and in thy labor which thou takest under the sun.

1 CORINTHIANS 7:3-5 Let the husband render to his wife the affection that is due her, and likewise also the wife to her husband.
Vs.4 The wife does not have authority over her own body, but the husband does. And likewise the husband does not have authority over his own body, but the wife does.
Vs.5 Do not deprive one another except with consent for a time, that you may give yourselves to fasting and prayer....( NKJV )
Give Honor to Wife
1 PETER 3:7 Likewise ye husbands, dwell with them according to knowledge, giving honor unto the wife, as unto the weaker vessel, and as being heirs together of the grace of life; that your prayers be not hindered.

1 CORINTHIANS 11:3 But I would have you know, that the head of every man is Christ; and the head of the woman is the man; and the head of Christ is God.
EPHESIANS 5:23 For the husband is head of the wife, even as Christ is head of the church: and he is savior of the body.

Adorning of Wife
1 PETER 3:3-5 Whose adorning let it not be that outward adoring of plaiting the hair, and of wearing of gold, or of putting on of apparel;
Vs.4 But let it be the hidden man of the heart, in that which is not corruptible, even the ornament of a meek and quiet spirit, which is in the sight of God of great price.
Vs.5 For after this manner in the old time the holy women also, who trusted in God, adorned themselves, being in subjection unto their own husbands.
1 TIMOTHY 2:9-10 In like manner also, that women adorn themselves in modest apparel, with shamfacedness and sobriety; not with broided hair, or gold, or pearls, or costly array.
Vs10 But which becometh women professing godliness with good works.
Reverence her Husband
EPHESIANS 5:33 Nevertheless let every one of you in particular so love his wife even as himself; and the wife see that she reverence her husband.
A Virtuous Wife
PROVERBS 31:10-30 Who can find a virtuous wife? for her worth is far above rubies.
Vs.11 The heart of her husband safely trusts her;
Vs.12 She does him good and not evil, all the days of her life.
Vs.13 She seeks wool and flax, and willingly works with her hands.
Vs.14 She is like the merchant ships, she brings her food from afar.

4. Children
A Blessing of God
PSALMS 127:3 Lo, children are an heritage of the Lord: and the fruit of the womb is his reward.
PSALMS 127:4-5 As arrows are in the hand of a mighty man; so are children of the youth.
Vs.5 Happy is the man that hath his quiver full of them: they shall not be ashamed, but they shall speak with the enemies in the gate.
PROVERBS 17:6 Children's children are the crown of old men; and the glory of children are their fathers.
Correction of Children
PROVERBS13:24 He that spareth his rod hateth his son: but he that loveth him chasteneth him betimes ( promptly ).
PROVERBS 19:18 Chasten thy son while there is hope, and let not thy soul spare for his crying.
PROVERBS 22:15 Foolishness is bound in the heart of a child; but the rod of correction shall drive it far from him.
PROVERBS 29:15 The rod and the reproof give wisdom: but a child left to himself bringeth his mother to shame.
Correction not to be Unjust
EPHESIANS 6:4 And ye fathers, provoke not your children to wrath: but bring them up in the nurture and admonition of the Lord.
COLOSSIANS 3:21 Fathers, provoke not your children to anger, lest they be discouraged.
Correction must be done out of love, for the good of the child. Punishment, without love and because of selfish reasons, is abuse. Children must be taught right from wrong, not only by some form of correction, but also, by example.
Jesus said "Do unto others as you would have them do unto you" We must treat our children the way we would want to be treated.
Children are to honor their Parents
EPHESIANS 6:1-3 Children, obey your parents in the Lord: for this is right.
Vs.2 Honor thy father and mother; which is the first commandment with promise

TITUS 2:3-4 The aged women likewise that they be in behavior as becometh holiness, not false accusers, not given to much wine, teachers of good things;
Vs.4 That they may teach the young women to be sober, to love their husbands, to love their children.
LEVITICUS 19:32 Thou shall rise up before the gray head and honor the face of the old man.
1 TIMOTHY 5:1 Rebuke not an elder, but entreat him as a father.
PROVERBS 22:7 The rich ruleth over the poor, and the borrower is servant to the lender.
PSALMS 112:5 A good man sheweth favor, and lendeth: he will guide his affairs with discretion.
MATTHEW 5:42 Give to him that asketh thee, and from him that would borrow of thee turn not thou away.
Lend without usury

Paying Debts
PSLAMS 37:21 The wicked borroweth, and payeth not again: but the righteous sheweth mercy, and giveth.

PROVERBS 11:1 A false balance is abomination to the Lord: but a just weight is his delight.
ROMANS 12:17 Recompense to no man evil for evil: provide things honest in the sight of all men.
PROVERBS 16:8 Better is a little with righteousness than great revenues without right.
PROVERBS 21:6 The getting of treasures by a lying tongue is a vanity tossed to and fro of them that seek death.
PROVERBS 22:16 He that oppresseth the poor to increase his riches, and he that giveth to the rich, shall surely come to want.
PROVERBS 12:11 He that tilleth his land shall be satisfied with bread: but he that followeth vain persons is void of understanding.
PROVERBS 20:13 Love not sleep, lest thou come to poverty; open thine eyes, and thou shalt be satisfied with bread.
ROMANS 12:11 Not slothful in business; fervent in spirit; serving the Lord.
PROVERBS 24:30-31 I went by the field of the slothful, and by the vineyard of the man void of understanding;
Vs.31 And lo, it was all grown over with thorns, and nettles had covered the face thereof, and the stone wall thereof was broken down.
ECCLESIASTES 10:18 By much slothfulness the building decayeth; and through idleness of the hands the house droppeth through.
2 THESSALONIANS 3:11 For we hear that there are some which walk among you disorderly, working not at all, but are busybodies.
LUKE 6:38 Give, and it shall be given unto you; good measure, pressed down, and shaken together, and running over, shall men give into your bosom. For with the same measure that you mete withal it shall be measured to you again.
PROVERBS 22:9 He that hath a bountiful eye shall be blessed; for he giveth of his bread to the poor.
PROVERBS 28:27 He that giveth unto the poor shall not lack: but he that hides his eyes shall have many a curse.
Without show
MATTHEW 6:3 But when thou doest alms, let not thy left hand know what thy right hand doeth.
PROVERBS 3:9-10 Honor the Lord with thy substance and with the first fruits of all thy increase.
Vs.10 So shall thy barns be filled with plenty and thy presses shall burst out with new wine.
MALACHI 3:10 Bring ye all the tithed into the storehouse, that there may be meat in mine house, and prove me now herewith, saith the Lord of Hosts, if I will not open you the windows of heaven, and pour you out a blessing, that there shall not be room enough to receive it.
Beware of Covetousness
LUKE 12:15 And he said unto them, Take heed and beware of covetousness: for a man's life consisteth not in the abundance of the things which he possesseth.
1 TIMOTHY 6:10 FOR THE LOVE OF MONEY is the root of all evil: which while some coveted after, they have erred from the faith, and pierced themselves through with many sorrows.
Civil Duties
MARK 12:17 And Jesus answering said unto them, " Render to Caesar the things that are Caesar's, and to God the things that are God's."
TITUS 3:1 Put them in mind to be subject to principalities and powers, to obey magistrates, to be ready to every good work.
1 PETER 2:13-14 Submit yourselves to every ordinance of man for the Lord's sake: whether it be to the king, as supreme;
Vs.14 Or unto governors, as unto them that are sent by him for the punishment of evildoers, and for the praise of them that do well.
1 PETER 2:17 Honor all men, Love the brotherhood. Fear God. Honor the King.

Social Issues
1. Sexual Sins
( See Leviticus ch. 20 )
GENESIS 19:4-5 Before they had gone to bed, all the men from every part of the city of Sodom, both young and old, surrounded the house.
Vs.5 They called to Lot, " Where are the men who came to you tonight? Bring them out to us so that we can have sex with them. ( NIV )
2 PETER 2:6 And turning the cities of Sodom and Gomorrha into ashes condemned [them] with an overthrow, making them an ensample unto those that after should live ungodly;
JUDE 1:7 Even as Sodom and Gomorrha, and the cities about them in like manner, giving themselves over to fornication, and going after strange flesh, are set forth for an example, suffering the vengeance of eternal fire.
LEVITICUS 18:22 Thou
shalt not lie with mankind, as with womankind.
( See Leviticus Ch. 20 )
ROMANS 1:26-27 Because of this, God gave them over to shameful lusts. Even their women exchanged natural relations for unnatural ones.
Vs.27 In the same way the men also abandoned natural relations with women and were inflamed with lust for one another. Men committed indecent acts with other men, and received in themselves the due penalty for their perversion. ( NIV )
LEVITICUS 18:23 Neither shalt thou lie with any beast to defile thyself therewith: neither shall any women stand before a beast to lie down thereto: it is confusion.
EXODUS 20:14 Thou shalt not commit adultery.
PROVERBS 6:22 Whoso commits adultery with a women, lacks understanding. he that does it, destroys his own soul.
MATTHEW 5:28 Whosoever looks on a women to lust after her, hath committed adultery with her already in his heart.
1 CORINTHIANS 6:13... Now the body is not for fornication, but for the Lord; and the Lord for the body.
1 CORINTHIANS 7:2 Nevertheless, to avoid fornication, let every man have his own wife and let every women have her own husband.
2. Abortion
JEREMIAH 1:5 Before I formed thee in the belly I knew thee; and before thou camest forth out of the womb I sanctified thee, and I ordained thee a prophet unto the nations.
PALMS 139:13 For thou hast possessed my reins: thou hast covered me in my mothers womb.
LUKE 1:44 For, lo, as soon as the voice of thy salutation sounded in my ears, the babe leaped in my womb for joy.
PSALMS 106:37 Yea, they sacrificed their sons and daughters unto devils.
Vs.38 And shed innocent blood, even the blood of their sons and of their daughters, whom they sacrificed unto the idols of canaan: and the land was polluted with blood.
Children are still sacrificed, but to different idols. The idols of careers, pleasure selfish ambition and worldly pursuits; have replaced the idols of stone.
3. Capital Punishment
GENESIS 9:6 Whoso sheddeth man's blood, by man shall his blood be shed: for in the image of God made he man.
DEUTERONOMY 21:22 And if a man have committed a sin worthy of death, and he be put to death...
1 PETER 2:13-14 Submit yourselves to every ordinance of man for the Lord's sake: whether it be to the king, as supreme;
Vs.14 Or unto governors, as unto them that are sent by Him for the punishment of evildoers, and for the praise of them that do well.
4. Witchcraft
LEVITICUS 19:31 Regard not them that have familiar spirits, neither seek after wizards, to be defiled by them: I am the Lord.
LEVITICUS 20:6 And the soul that turneth after such as have familiar spirits, and after wizards, to go a whoring after them, I will even set my face against that soul, and will cut him off from among his people.
a. Divination
ACTS 16:16-18 And it came to pass, as we went to prayer, a certain damsel possessed with a spirit of divination met us, which brought her masters much gain by soothsaying:
Vs.17 The same followed Paul and us, and cried, saying, These men are the servants of the most high God, which shew unto us the way of salvation.
Vs.18 And this she did many days. But Paul, being grieved, turned and said to the spirit, I command thee in the name of Jesus Christ to come out of her. And he came out the same hour.
DEUTERONOMY 18:10-12 There shall not be found among you any one that maketh his son or daughter to pass through the fire, or that useth divination, or an observer of times, or an enchanter, or a witch.
Vs.11 Or a charmer, or a consulter with familiar spirits, or a wizard, or a necromancer.
Vs.12 For all that do these things are an abomination unto the Lord:
ACTS 8:9-11 But there was a certain man, called Simon, which beforetime in the same city used sorcery, and bewitched the people of Samaria, giving out that himself was some great one:
Vs.10 To whom they all gave heed, from the least to the greatest, saying, This man is the great power of God.
Vs.11 And to him they had regard, because that of long time he had bewitched them with sorceries.
From this sample of scriptures we can see that God Almighty does not approve of any form of witchcraft. At the present; we are bombarded every day with advertisements for the psychic hot line, horoscopes, palm readers, and all sorts of people who pretend to be used of God, to enlarge their bank accounts at the expense of peoples gullibility and ignorance of God's Word. Christians should stay away from the devils deceptions.
ACTS 19:18-20 And many that believed came, and confessed, and showed their deeds.
Vs.19 Many of them also, which used curious arts brought their books together, and burned them before all men: and they counted the price of them, and founded it to be 50,000 pieces of silver.
5. Our Speech

Wine Review: This ruby colored Sangiovese from Acorn is very good. It opens with an attractive mild blueberry and red cherry bouquet with a hint of oak. On the palate, this wine is medium bodied, balanced and smooth. The flavor profile is a tasty mild red cherry with notes of oak and hints of red plum and strawberry. The finish is dry and its moderate tannins are dusty and sticky. This Sangiovese from California would pair very well with Mario Batali's wild Boar Ragu served over Pappardelle. Enjoy - Ken
Winemaker Notes: Intriguing aromas of spicy oak and a rich mineral essence blend with light red fruit and traces of tobacco. The bright oak-edged entry quickly reveals the solid structure and wonderful characteristics of the wine. Mocha and spice dominate, while nuanced flavors of juicy cherry, plum, and hints of orange peel and minerality appear mid-palate and broaden in the lingering finish. Slightly chewy with youthful tannins, this Sangiovese is reminiscent of a Chianti Classico, and is an excellent match for almost any meal. The beautiful acidity is ideal for pairing with entrees like lasagna or pizza, and is equally well matched with marinated hanger steak served with mushrooms and a red wine sauce, or a leg of lamb with rosemary and garlic.
