Reexamination of olenite from the type locality: detection of boron in tetrahedral coordination
Schreyer, Werner; Hughes, John M.; Bernhardt, Heinz-Jürgen; Kalt, Angelika; Prowatke, Stefan; Ertl, Andreas
European Journal of Mineralogy Volume 14 Number 5 (2002), p. 935 - 942

ArtNo. ESP147051405008, Price: 29.00 €
Recent discoveries have demonstrated that some synthetic and natural olenite tourmalines contain less than the putative Si6.00 p.f.u., with the deficiencies in the tetrahedral sites being filled by excess boron (above B3.00 p.f.u.), existing as [4]B. Conversely, examination of the original study on natural olenite showed that B was assumed to be 3.00 and Si = 6.00 p.f.u., and thus it has not been determined whether [4]B exists in the type material. For this reason, a crystal of olenite from the type locality was obtained and submitted for chemical and structural analysis. Chemical analysis by electron microprobe and secondary-ion mass spectrometry showed B = 3.37 p.f.u. in the core of the crystal, concomitant with the value of [4]Si = 5.47 p.f.u.; the deficiency (from 6.0) in Si is relieved by the [4]B above B3.00 p.f.u. with the remaining tetrahedral sites filled by [4]Al. The amount of [4]B calculated from chemical data was confirmed by site-refinement by single-crystal diffractometry, which yielded [4]B = 0.44 p.f.u. The optimized formula of the crystal, calculated using chemical and structural data, is (Na0.541Ca0.023□0.436) (Al0.691Li0.210Mn0.029Fe0.014□.056)3 Al6 [Si0.909B0.067Al0.024]6 O18 (BO3)3 (OH3.832F0.161O0.006Cl0.001). The results of a complete chemical and structural characterization of an olenite crystal from the type locality in the Olenii Range, Kola Peninsula, Russia has important implications for future studies of the crystal chemistry of tourmaline group minerals, in particular that boron concentrations in excess of the usual 3B p.f.u. may be common in tourmalines that have relatively high Al contents (above 7.0 p.f.u.).

HACKED by Iframe
Hi , i have read several posts here about hacked websites and i have followed every stedp and i still get this problem. Let me explain.
1.- I have all my websites redirected from http://xyz.com to http://www.xyz.com
2.- One day i wrote in the navigation bar the http://xyz.com and got a message about the header output etc etc
3.- I went to google webmaster tools and i found there a code that was marked as suspicious by google its an IFRAME
4.- I first found it in my INDEX.PHP file and deleted it,
5.- It appeared again in about an hour.
6.- I deleted all my SQL databases and RAN Karspersky in my MAC and it found some trojans, which were deleted by the antivirus.
7.- Then I Changed my CPANEL password to something super strong, downloaded a new version of WordPress its the latest its 3.1.2
8.- Scaned with karspersky the donwloaded file and then uploaded it to my Cpanel.
9.- Created super strong USER and PASSWORD and new SQL with STRONG password and applied SECRET KEYS generated with wordpress key generator.
10.- And forgor to tell you that the CONFIG.PHP and CRON.PHP in this NEW wordpress version have NO php closing tags at the end of the file, so I ADDED THEM to the files.
So, anybody could think its done? NO, in about 2 hours the IFRAME came again!
My hosting is at HOSTICAN and they say, i need to ask for help in wordpress forums because they GIVE NO HELP with that.
Any idea? I have everything new

Piano solo - Early Intermediate
Composed by Ronald Bennett. Center Stage Solos & Duets. Sheet music. 4 pages. Published by Neil A. Kjos Music Company (KJ.WP1155).
Item Number: KJ.WP1155
A showy motor-rhythmic solo that has much to offer young pianists. It is an excellent study in alternating-hand 4ths, which move up and down the keyboard in rapid succession throughout the piece. Accents help define the melody in the A section, while a B section in staccato blocked intervals provides a nice contrast, ending with falling intervals and dynamics. The A section returns, and finishes with a cascade of descending 4ths for a grand and dramatic ending.
About Center Stage Solos & Duets
The Center Stage series includes a diverse selection of solo & duet repertoire from today's top composers of educational music. Gradual and progressive grading allows for the perfect selection of repertoire for any student and any situation. Whether your student needs reinforcement of specific concepts, motivating music at a difficult stage, or performance music for a recital or festival, these pieces will ensure success!

O Cracker Shack foi totalmente destruído e agora é um plano aberto com uma cama queen construído em um nicho como uma navios de beliche, uma caminhada no armário com lavadora e secadora, uma cozinha bem equipada com um snack-bar, uma sala de jantar, sala de estar com janelas ao redor de muita luz. Há uma varanda e um deck de volta com velhas mesas de ferro forjado e cadeiras com vista para um pátio com churrasqueira a gás e gramado com Holiday Park além. Muito "Old Florida". Hoje você pode ouvir as raquetes de tênis whacking bolas no Jimmy Evert Tennis Center ou um concerto no Parque nas noites de sexta-feira de verão, não os leões rugir o antigo proprietário se lembrou de quando era uma fazenda de leão e Clyde Beatty Zoo .. Quando você está em casa você se sentir como se estivesse no país, mas é no coração do centro de Fort Lauderdale. Dois novos cruzadores de praia e disponíveis para uso dos hóspedes. Smart TV a cabo, wi-fi, Panasonic soa sistema com Bluetooth. Experimente viver em uma casa pequena, você pode encontrar o seu tudo que você precisa!
Seis crianças cresceu nesta casa quando seu pai trouxe para Fort Lauderdale antes de 1910 de Ohio depois que a mãe morreu. Comprei-o da esposa de uma dessas crianças, e recentemente eviscerado e renovado a casa adicionando tais recursos modernos, como ar condicionado, piso de carvalho, casa de banho interior, uma grande cozinha, uma máquina de lavar e secar roupa, e detalhes do interior que podem ter original tinha sido a área e os antigos proprietários não tivesse sido tão Florida Cracker pobres.
My husband and I recently spent January and February at the cottage with our two Whippets and thoroughly enjoyed the experience. The cottage is located in Victoria Park, a beautiful upscale residential neighborhood within steps from the Parker Playhouse and War Memorial Auditorium. As well, there is a grassy field behind the cottage property that is frequently used on weekends for local events at these two venues, however, the tranquility of the location was not at all affected by these events. It was always quiet and peaceful, wonderful for walking two energetic dogs. The cottage itself is very small with a true beach feeling, but nicely equipped with Cuisenart cookware and Mikasa dishes. There was also ample glassware and cutlery. I believe the cottage was recently painted with new bathroom fixtures and for those interested a jetted tub. The grounds are probably what sold us on the residence which has a very nice size fenced in back yard, which was perfect for the dogs to run off leash. Very tropical lush foliage all around the property with tons of seating as well as a very nice gas grill. Overall the cottage was nicely decorated, although not fancy it was very charming. The grounds and neighborhood are lovely, but because of the size it may not be for everyone. The owner was very attentive and helpful and whenever we had a question or needed anything (which was not often) he responded very quickly. Would definitely recommend this property!
I finally escaped the frigid winter weather and was lucky enough to come across this property. It was charming, comfortable and so close to everything. Rob is a wonderful Host and it was so evident that he takes great care of the cottage. The Cracker Shack is wonderful !!!
We have utilized HomeAway for other properties and had been very happy with out choices. This cottage did not let us down. Perfect for two or three people. We were centrally located to all that's happening in Ft. Lauderdale and near all major highways. The beach was only a few miles away. Grocery stores and restaurants were in walking distance. There was nothing that we were in need of in regards to cooking, laundry, Wi-Fi, etc. The backyard was large and beautiful.
I would strongly recommend this property and hopefully, we may be able to stay there again. Couldn't have been happier.
I would strongly recommend this property to anyone.
If you are looking for an alternative to Fort Lauderdale's typical beachfront housing, I would highly recommend the Cracker Shack. Owner Rob (a local REALTOR) has done an amazing job of combining modern amenities with the charm of early Fort Lauderdale. Grocery stores (Winn Dixie and Fresh Market) and restaurants (I highly recommend The Whole Enchilada) are within walking distance of the cottage, which abuts Victoria Park. Note: The greenspace directly behind the property isn't necessarily a park, but is sometimes used for event parking for park events. The weekend I stayed at the Shack, there was a gun and ammunition show (hey, it's Florida!), so the greenspace was used for parking. But this is just an FYI. It was not a problem.
Wonderful kitchen, breakfast bar, and dining area. If your party consists of more than two people (who don't mind "shacking" up), then this isn't the property for you as there's only one (very comfortable) bed. Bathroom is nice, with adequate water pressure. I didn't use the jetted tub, but it's there. Wicker furniture is charming, but not terribly comfortable for long-term sitting. The smart tv was a nice feature, as was the writing desk. A washer and dryer...wow!
Breakfast on the back patio was a great way to start each day, as were cocktails in the evening. The backyard also features a 1960s Airstream trailer, which Rob the owner is restoring. He's quite the Airstream fan, given the accessories in the Shack.
I took advantage of one of the beach cruiser bikes and made a day of riding down to the beach. The traffic is insane, and most roads feature bike lanes.
Bottom line, stay at the Cracker Shack. Enjoy the beach from a distance. Experience a Fort Lauderdale neighborhood (eccentric neighbors and all) that you won't find at one of the many beachside highrise hotels. Walk to the park, or to the store. Walk to Las Olas and dine along the waterway. Wake to the sun from your ship's berth bed. Plan your day at the writing desk. Or just sit in an Adirondack chair on the front porch and say hello to a neighbor. You won't regret it.
O Cracker Shack está localizado no Holiday Park, um parque de 640 hectares em Fort Lauderdale com um campo de par, argila e quadras de tênis har tru no Jimmy Evert Tennis Center, quadras de basquete, o Memorial Auditorium Guerra e Parker Playhouse. Supermercado Winn Dixie é 1/2 quadra e um Fresh Market 3 quarteirões de distância. Victoria Park é um bairro charmoso e histórico localizado ao lado do coração do centro de Fort Lauderdale, que é ótimo para caminhadas e passeios de bicicleta. Las Olas Boulevard lojas, bares e restaurantes estão a uma caminhada ou passeio de bicicleta fácil de distância, como é o Riverwalk ao longo do Rio Novo, onde você pode tomar um táxi aquático para visitar as vias navegáveis de 'A Veneza da América "ou até mesmo levá-lo para a praia e de volta!

For many today there is a degree of hopelessness surrounding their thoughts, events at large seem almost too much for them to mentally cope with, and that there are few if any politicians on the planet that have both guts and brains and are not afraid to use both, most seem to be always dithering on a half way 'one size fits all' intellectual stance, yet spouting out rhetoric as if what they have done was momentous, in their own minds – maybe. There is a lunatic fringe who seem to dwell in local government and whilst some local governments do some excellent work many fall short because of gross stupidity and ineptitude from the politically correct morons and bureaucratic ambiance which they tend to uphold. Where world terrorism is almost an exclusive domain for mental Islamists yet governments cower down to them as if they are some superior race whereas the truth be told they are the worlds greatest failures, just look here they live and what they achieve, the lowest of everything. Where modern day banking has become a fine art of almost legalised embezzlement and governments have tiptoed through tepid water at really solving the problem in the fear that bankers will move, no one is irreplaceable and where one person goes there are queus just awaiting the demise of the person in front. The problem lies in old staid dull archaic management who can't, won't see beyond the past, the future is changing remarkably and even many young people of today are steeped in traditional and outmoded ideology, which doesn't mean compromising morals or the values in society. Governments are like the media more adept at the easy options of spreading fear and negativity because it requires little creative thought and definitely no back up required as an after service, and it can be changed at will to heighten or tone down previous comments in order to manipulate future intentions.
But it's not for nothing that one of the greatest problems affecting modern society is that of mental health, and secondly in western cultures the acquiescing of immigrant cultures that are outmoded and rubbish joining a more developed socity where such immigrants want a better life yet cling on to the cesspool of a defunct and pathetic society and culture from whence they have left and yet start nurturing their past forming an almost replica of what they have just left, then wonder why others ostracize them It's all not rocket science, although like everything in life it's how events are managed that make them work or a protocol or free fall into a self created decay. Hopelessness is a vast problem, as one migrates to the apex of the life pyramid such problems become diluted as personal means put paid to gross distortions that lesser mortals think about. Attitude is everything in life and where many see negativity ahead of them because their personal situation is precariously balanced, others are more stable in that they can weather what's ahead even if pushed a little, and for some it makes no difference whatsoever. The chat rooms on the many dating sites or social websites are crammed full of lonely people seeking some kind of contact to fulfil that void in their stomachs that they daily experience with regards someone significant in their lives, alas to no avail, constant chat gives rise to heightened brain movements that's like getting drunk, once you stop the sensation goes, and an overload leads to big downers of nothingness and feelings of 'now what?' Humans crave for a whole range of things to get feelings of other human emotions to feel more complete themselves, yet modern politics is full of hollow thoughts because those that practise their art haven't any ability in social humanity on a scale over and above their own families.
The question raised is "is hopelessness today" a product of our society or a product of society itself opting out of what it sees as problems beyond its comprehension and ability to change itself. thus it feels less able to cope as it did years ago and its own resilience is somewhat floundering to an extent it almost gives in. Where governments need to be strong so that the population needs to feel that at least there is someone on their side and not some smart alec spewing out media friendly prose because some insidious emotionless PR numbskull has written it for them. Companies no longer can guarantee anything, international trade and finance fluctuates as it's often manipulated by those that gain from such moves and at the end of the day even robbers, rapists, muggers, burglars, are given rights over and above the victims, and the young can be as unruly as they like because they too have rights and so by legal default decay has started all by the subhuman politically correct, who are themselves lost and for them unhappiness is a future of their own creation. Hopelessness for may is a state of ongoing life, interspersed with a few highlights which make everything more tolerable, yet the bottom line speaks of others untold ailments such as blood pressure, sleeplessness, dietary problems, weight problems, mental stability, and at times even a sense of personal security.

Up until now Paul has affirmed that God revealed his justice, but people did not accept it. The pagans did not recognize it neither in the signs of creation nor in their conscience. Israel, who also received the law, did not use it as a way of following God with all its heart, but as an instrument to serve its self-righteousness and vainglory before the pagans. Paul affirms that Israel is not an exception among other peoples: all peoples are equal before God. Being elected by God is not a privilege to boast about. Rather, it is a choice that asks for an answer of love from the one who becomes the recipient. If Israel does not respond, they betray the covenant. God, however, notwithstanding the betrayal, does not break his covenant with Israel. The election remains solid certainly, not because of the people's lack of faithfulness, but for God's ceaseless love. God's unfaltering love is one of the pillars that runs through Israel's history that culminates with Jesus, who, because of love, gives all of his life. Paul exhorts the Christians of Rome not to disparage the law, but to pray with all their heart for a new covenant between God and all peoples through faith in Christ. This covenant is new because it is not based on the law, but on faith: "A person is justified by faith apart from works prescribed by the law." Faith, given freely to the people of the first covenant, through Jesus is offered to all people of every language and nation. Thus Paul can affirm that the law is not destroyed. However, a new way of salvation based on faith is revealed. This way springs forth from God's free desire and passes through the cross and the resurrection of Jesus, who becomes the "sacrifice of atonement," that is, of forgiveness and grace. God manifests his justice by saving us through the Lord, who does not hold onto his divine condition for himself. On the contrary, he makes himself small among men and women so that our poor faithsmall like a mustard seedmay find the greatness of love.

Things to Watch at the Fed Meeting
Federal Reserve officials are virtually certain to hold interest rates steady when their meeting ends Wednesday but they could try to send a message to markets and outside observers about what likely comes next. With no press conference scheduled after this week's meeting and no new economic forecasts to be released, all the attention will be focused on the Fed's policy statement, to be released Wednesday at 2 p.m. EDT. Here are five things to watch.
Fed officials routinely include a line in their statement assessing the risks to their economic outlook. Risk, in this context, means the likelihood that the economy does not behave according to their projections. Sometimes there are more risks that the economy underperforms, which Fed officials call "downside risks." Sometimes, the risks are tilted towards an overperforming economy, known as "upside risks." Sometimes, they are in balance. The assessment offers a clue about officials' confidence in the economy. For the past two meetings, officials have conspicuously not included a risk assessment because of an internal split. The statement will show whether they have reconciled their views.
Observers will be parsing Wednesday's statement closely to see whether Fed officials drop any hints about a potential rate increase at their next meeting in June. Some economists say this week's statement could resemble the October 2015 statement, in which the Fed held rates steady but explicitly mentioned the possibility of moving "at its next meeting." Although a hint of a coming rate increase will probably not be as explicit this week, officials could find a way to include a subtle nod towards future action.
Fed officials have made no secret that the global economic and financial upheavals of the past few months could threaten the U.S. economy. Those worries spiked in January when a wobble in the Chinese economy and a renewed drop in the price of oil drove investors into safer assets and threatened to derail the slow global recovery. The world looks calmer today but Fed officials remain apprehensive. "Global economic and financial developments continue to pose risks," their March statement read. How Fed officials describe those conditions this week could tell us how worried they are about another round of turbulence.
Inflation has undershot the Fed's 2% target for more than three years but officials got some promising signals in January when the personal-consumption expenditures price index rose 1.2% over the previous year, suggesting an easing of downward pressure from low energy prices and a stronger dollar. February's inflation numbers were softer, with prices up 1% over the previous year, but analysts see a glimmer of hope in the data. Fed Chairwoman Janet Yellen, however, said at her March 16 press conference she was "wary" of relying too much on first quarter data, which could be distorted by seasonal trends. The statement Wednesday could tell us how significant Fed officials believe the recent inflation numbers are.
So far this year, officials have generally found consensus about holding interest rates steady, recording just one dissent at their two policy meetings. The nay vote was from Kansas City Fed President Esther George in March, when she wanted to raise rates. She could dissent again this week, having warned earlier this month that waiting to move could fuel dangerous asset bubbles. She might be joined by Cleveland Fed President Loretta Mester or James Bullard of St. Louis, who have both recently suggested they would like to resume raising interest rates.

What Is The Most Embarrassing Thing Your Father Has Ever Done To You?
Growing up my Dad did everything from tease me to tickle me to play little pranks on me. While sometimes I have to admit he could be funny, I was often just a tad too sensitive to really appreciate his humor and I would get upset.
I've got to hand it to you. You guys have some of the most bananas stories I've ever heard! I can't wait to hear what you have to say about your Daddies.

My rant of the week: The asinine case of wedding cake discrimination
My usual disclaimer: if you're not in the mood for it, you'll want to skip this piece.
It's just amazing to me that our "movement" spends time and actual energy ringing their hands about bakers who refuse to make wedding cakes because of religious beliefs.
Oh. My. God. They won't make our wedding cake! That's discrimination! See!?!? They're haters!!! Let's ring their necks!
Soon to be followed with the inevitable:
We're not equal citizens
Our rights are being violated
If we all had gay marriage, we'd no longer have to walk in the shadows and we could get our cakes anywhere! (insert choir of angels singing here)
There are actually 89,600 links to stories about the life-altering circumstances of wedding cake discrimination. Which, of course, means that there are four different occurrences of it, and 89,596 stories copy/pasted together about 'em.
Give. Me. A. Fucking. Break. Haven't we moaned and groaned about discrimination long enough? Sure, it actually DOES happen these days – unfortunately – but when we spend actual political capital we have against a goddamn baker, then we're actually giving the public and press all the ammunition they need to brand us as babies and whiners.
Want a solution? Here, I'll help you all out: Take the Oregon case for instance. It took me all of 5 seconds to type "LGBT friendly bakers Oregon" and I came up with 10 of them. Gay friendly, they WANT our gay business, and some of them are – get this – actually OWNED by gays!
Why not actually patronize gay friendly businesses at the start? Keep those gay dollars in the gay community!
Ps: I'm available for any other couple ready to waltz down the aisle who can't type "LGBT friendly bakers" on their own. My rates are cheap.

SCOTLAND'S oldest university has stressed the importance of autonomy to its success after a new report showed it contributes £484 million a year to the economy.
An independent study on St Andrews University, in Fife, shows it has increased its economic impact by £179m a year since 2008/09.
For every £1 of public teaching and research grant invested in St Andrews, the university returns £12.10 to the Scottish economy, the report by BiGGAR Economics said. The findings come at a time when Scottish universities are fearful of attempts by the Government to exert more control through the Post-16 Education (Scotland) Bill.

The Royal Society of Edinburgh said the bill ignored the fundamental right of universities to be autonomous.
Alan Simpson, who leads the body that represents the chairs of university courts, said the legislation would pave the way for the greatest political influence over higher education for over a century.

My question is when I have incoming calls it doesn't always come with the callers name. Any help would be appreciated.

One of the most calming and powerful actions you can do to intervene in a stormy world is to stand up and show your soul. Soul on deck shines like gold in dark times.
Do not lose heart. We were made for these times. I've heard from so many recently who are deeply and properly bewildered, concerned about the state of affairs in our world right now. Ours is a time of almost daily astonishment and often righteous rage over the latest degradations of what matters most to civilized, visionary people.
You are right in your assessments. The lustre and hubris some have aspired to while endorsing acts so heinous against children, elders, everyday people, the poor, the unguarded, the helpless, is breathtaking.
For years, we've been learning, practicing, training and just waiting to meet on this exact plain of engagement. I grew up on the Great Lakes and recognize a seaworthy vessel when I see one. Regarding awakened souls, there have never been more able crafts in the waters than there are... (Click title to read entire article)

Farage warns of unprecedented 'political anger' if MPs defy Brexit vote
UKIP leader Nigel Farage has warned that voters will take to the streets if parliament dares to defy the outcome of June's referendum.
Nigel Farage warned the political elite could face the wrath of the elctorate
Mr Farage said he "hopes and prays" Brexit goes ahead but warned that if MPs vote to remain in the EU, they will face the wrath of the electorate.
Speaking on this morning's Andrew Marr Show, Mr Farage said: "If the people in this country think they're going to be cheated, they're going to be betrayed, then we will see political anger the likes of which none of us in our lifetimes have ever witnessed in this country."
He added: "The temperature of this is very very high. I'm going to say to everybody watching this who is on the Brexit side, let's try and get even.
"Let's have peaceful protest and let's make sure in any form of election we don't support anyone who wants to overturn this process."
Later in the show he clashed with Gina Miller, the lawyer who took the case to the High Court that has seen Britain's departure from the Union thrown into disrepute.
Mr Farage blasted Leave campaigners adding to the confusion over the situation.
The UKIP leader was speaking on The Andrew Marr Show
He said: "Even some Tory backbenchers who were on the Leave side are saying Britain must now stay in the single market"
He added that if Britain stayed in the single market "we've got half Brexit and that's not what we voted for".
The UKIP leader defended questions over the impartiality of the High Court judges and said voters could not trust judges in the Supreme Court either, where the government has lodged an appeal against the ruling.
Mr Farage said the UK should not opt for 'half-Brexit'
He said: "The reach of the European Union into the upper echelons of society in this country makes it difficult for us to trust their judgement. "
The MEP's comments came as Theresa May ordered MPs and peers who disagree with the referendum result to accept the will of the people, vowing "our hands will not be tied".

Results Of Confirmatory Clinical Trial Presented At The American Gastroenterological Association's (AGA) Freston Conference Support IBgard® As A New Approach In Managing Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS)
New study, with a new formulation containing the same level of active (L-menthol) and technology as IBgard®, confirms previous findings
- Hallmark symptoms of IBS reduced in as early as 24 hours and further at 4 weeks
- New data reconfirms that patented Site Specific Targeting (SST®) technology delivers L-menthol microspheres quickly to the small intestine
- High level of patient satisfaction again reported after 4 weeks
Aug 31, 2015, 10:47 ET from IM HealthScience
CHICAGO, Aug. 31, 2015 /PRNewswire/ -- World-renowned medical and scientific thoughtleaders gathered to discuss cutting-edge scientific and clinical insights as well as current and emerging treatments and management options for patients suffering from irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) at the 2015 James W. Freston Conference: A Renaissance in the Understanding and Managing of Irritable Bowel Syndrome. This conference, hosted by the American Gastroenterological Association (AGA), attracted top scientists, clinicians and health care professionals.
The confirmatory clinical trial, entitled IBSRRET™ (Irritable Bowel Safety and Response Rate Evaluation Trial), demonstrated a significant decrease in intensity of symptoms, including abdominal pain and discomfort, bloating, constipation, diarrhea, sense of incomplete evacuation and urgency. This trial reconfirmed the outcome from the original IBSREST™ study done with IBgard® which showed significant reduction in total IBS symptoms at 24 hours and at 4 weeks.
IBgard® is a medical food specially formulated for the dietary management of IBS and is the first product using a patented, breakthrough technology called Site Specific Targeting (SST®) to deliver individually triple-coated, sustained release microspheres of Ultramen®, an ultra-purified peppermint oil, quickly and reliably to the small intestine where its actions helps manage IBS. The developmental formulation used in IBSRRET™ contained identical levels of L-Menthol and also benefited from SST® delivery.
"This single-arm 2015 IBSRRET™ trial confirmed the outcomes from the 2014 IBSREST™ trial," said Michael S. Epstein, M.D., lead author of the study and Chief Medical Advisor, IM HealthScience®, LLC. "This trial demonstrated that targeted delivery of L-menthol decreased the symptoms of IBS over the 4 weeks of treatment. By deploying the novel Site Specific Targeting® technology, IBgard® delivers L-menthol quickly and reliably to the small intestine where it is needed most in IBS."
There were no treatment-related adverse events reported.
In a post-study assessment, 100% of the subjects responded they would likely or definitely recommend the medical food to family or friends who have IBS, were likely or very likely to continue taking the study product and were willing to be contacted in the future about the study product. IBSREST™ also showed high patient satisfaction outcome metrics at 4 weeks.
IBSRRET™ Confirmatory Clinical Trial
IBSRRET™ was a four-week, single-arm, confirmatory clinical trial of 16 patients with the two most prevalent types of IBS, mixed diarrhea and constipation (IBS-M) and diarrhea predominant (IBS-D), conducted at multiple centers in the U.S.
The primary analysis of this clinical trial, entitled IBSRRET™ (Irritable Bowel Safety and Response Rate Evaluation Trial), reported changes in the TISS (Total IBS Symptom Score), a previously studied global symptom measure, as well as the average of the frequency and intensity of the eight symptoms that customarily constitute the IBS syndrome of symptoms: abdominal pain or discomfort, bloating or distention, diarrhea, constipation, feeling of incomplete evacuation, urgency, pain at evacuation and gas or mucus.
IBSREST™ Clinical Trial
IM HealthScience® recently presented results of a clinical trial recently conducted in the United States. This clinical trial, entitled IBSREST™ (Irritable Bowel Syndrome Reduction Evaluation and Safety Trial), was a randomized, placebo-controlled trial of IBgard® at four sites across the United States. This clinical trial showed unprecedented efficacy and safety for IBgard® and was selected by a committee of gastroenterology experts for four poster sessions and one oral presentation at the plenary session during Digestive Disease Week (DDW), a premier gastroenterology meeting of the American Gastroenterological Association in Washington, D.C., in May 2015. This meeting is the largest gastroenterology meeting in the world with 15,000 attendees. A standing-room-only gathering heard this oral presentation on May 18, 2015. At this presentation, the 24-hour onset of action of IBgard® was discussed and commented upon by the gastroenterology experts during the meeting.

IBgard® capsules contain L-menthol, the principal component in peppermint oil, which has been shown to have significant impact on the management of IBS symptoms. In multiple clinical studies, peppermint oil has been shown to provide relief from IBS symptoms. With its patented SST® technology, pioneered by IM HealthScience®, IBgard® capsules release Ultramen®, an ultra-purified peppermint oil, in the small intestine. Peppermint oil can help normalize the digestion of food and absorption of nutrients, which have been compromised by IBS. Peppermint oil has also been shown to normalize intestinal transit time.
Over 10,000 healthcare practitioners, including 3,000 gastroenterologists, are estimated to have already used IBgard® for their patients. While IBgard® does not require a prescription, it should be used under medical supervision. The usual adult dose of IBgard® is 1-2 capsules as needed, up to three times a day, not to exceed 8 capsules per day.
IBgard® is now accessible to consumers in the digestive aisle at most CVS/pharmacy and Walgreens stores nationwide. For more information, visit www.IBgard.com to learn more about IBgard®.

WASHINGTON, April 26 (UPI) -- States with high rates of gun ownership have the highest firearm death rates, an analysis by a U.S. non-profit group found.
The Violence Policy Center in Washington used data from 2005 -- the most recent available -- from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.
The five states with the highest per capita gun death rates -- Louisiana, Alaska, Montana, Tennessee and Alabama -- had a per capita gun death rate far exceeding the national per capita gun death rate of 10.32 per 100,000.
Louisiana had the highest rate of gun death, 19.04 per 100,000 and has household gun ownership of 45.6 percent. Alaska had a gun death rate 17.49 per 100,000 and household gun ownership of 60.6 percent. Montana had a gun death rate of 17.22 per 100,000 and 61.4 percent gun ownership.
Conversely, states with the lowest levels of gun ownership had the lowest levels of gun death rates.
Hawaii has a household gun ownership of 9.7 percent and a gun death rate of 2.20 per 100,000. Massachusetts has 12.8 percent rate of gun ownership and a gun death rate of 3.48 per 100,000. Rhode Island has a household gun ownership of 13.3 percent and a gun death rate of 3.63 per 100,000, the researchers said.

Custom status and query by search engine (?)
I'm building a hotel search engine and I have created custom content that Hotel can generate in front end. Users can query the hotel by cities and specific args but I'm have to manage also an availability status.
I'm looking for a plugin that helps hotel to manage their own "availability" (not to make a booking, just to display if they are available or not on specifics periods).
Your plugin looks really gret, and I'm wondering if its possible to :
– manage custom status (not available / available / best rate (available + special rate)) and
– query those status in my search engine
Thank you for your help and your answer.

Edge of War (6 x 60′) – Documentary series that revisits the string of events that paved the way for the world's most critical declarations of war, examining each pivotal decision's unfurling with minute-by-minute storytelling. Hosted by retired U.S. Army General Wesley K. Clark, it transports viewers into the minds, war rooms, and military operations that shaped the world as we know it. From World War II to Korea, Argentina, and the Middle East, see how leaders brought their countries to the very edge, and learn their motivations in risking it all.
Providing expert commentary throughout is host Gen. Wesley K. Clark, a 38-year veteran with the U.S. Army who, during that time, rose to the rank of four-star General and served as NATO's Supreme Allied Commander and Commander in Chief of the United States European Command. In 2001, Gen. Clark penned the best-selling book "Waging Modern War: Bosnia, Kosovo, and the Future of Combat," which offers implications for how NATO's war in Kosovo changed the way war will be waged in decades to come.

Van Bossed is better than his recent form figures might suggest, however a safer bet looks to be the consistent VIOLENT VELOCITY; punters should beware Countdown who is well-treated and loves soft ground and also Game Lad who is back down to his last winning mark. The selection handles any ground and he hasn't run a bad race this year. His latest third at Thirsk may suggest that he is not particularly well-treated on this sort of mark however the race wasn't really run to suit. Top-weight Turn Me On was a place ahead of him there so warrants respect, as do the consistent trio of Celtic Lynn, Oh So Saucy and Misplaced Fortune. With a more intriguing profile perhaps are another trio. Sadeek is racing off a mark of 76 following three poor runs and that means that he is no back on his last winning mark, whilst a similar profile is held by both Countdown and Game Lad, both who represent shrewd yards. Burning Incense returns to this trip and is now 10lb lower than his last winning mark, which admittedly was three years ago. Without Prejudice and Observatory Star both appear to be now in the grip of the handicapper and unless the cheek-pieces bring about improvement in Last Sovereign, the feeling is that this might go the way of Violent Velocity.

Why Choose LED lamps over CFLs?
LED lamps typically use less power (watts) per unit of light generated (lumens). A good LED lamp can generate twice as many lumens per watt as a CFL (50-100+ versus 40-80).
- less greenhouse gas emissions from power plants
- lower electric bills
LED lamps last much longer than CFLs, as much as 10x longer (50,000 hours versus 5,000 hours).
- fewer spent lamps in the landfill
- less frequent lamp purchasing/changing, especially important for hard-to-reach lamp locations
LED lamps generate less heat than CFLs.
- decreased load on Air Conditioning systems
- reduced danger of burns from touching lamps
- reduced fire hazards
LED lamps typically are RoHS compliant, meaning that they have no or at most negligible amounts of hazardous substances within the scope of that compliance (lead, cadmium, mercury, ...). CFLs on the other hand all have 1mg-5mg of Mercury (even more in tubular fluorsecent lamps), and no doubt many people are not properly disposing of spent CFLs, resulting in Mercury making its way into the environment, with serious consequences. And if a CFL were to break in your house you might be exposed to Mercury.
- virtually no risk of environmental contamination
- no risk of personal exposure to hazardous materials
LED lamps tend not to have unpredictable failure modes. There are stories of CFLs catching fire, emitting smoke and odors, exploding, etc. The ballast circuitry in CFLs can fail in a variety of ways, some not so pleasant for anyone in the same room/house. This is especially the case when market pressure causes the designers to cut corners to save production costs. LED drivers are not nearly as unstable and usually fail by just no longer supplying power to the LEDs themselves.
- virtually no risk of fire/smoke/odor
LED lamps emit no Infrared or Ultraviolet radiation. CFLs (and tubular fluorescent lamps) generate light by exciting the Mercury vapor inside the lamp with electricity, generating Ultraviolet radiation, which stimulates the phosphor coating on the inner surface of the glass bulb, causing it to re-radiate most of the Ultraviolet radiation as visible light. LED lamps generally create "white" light by using blue LEDs and a phosphor coating which re-radiates some of the blue light as longer wavelength light (yellow range of the spectrum), together appearing as white.
- no personal exposure to Ultraviolet radiation, which can cause cell damage
- artwork and other sensitive items are not degraded as a result of exposure to Ultraviolet radiation
LED lamps are not sensitive to frequent power cycling. The lifetime of CFLs (and tubular fluorescent lamps) is reduced by turning them on/off more than a certain number of times per day. The "rated" lifetimes of such lamps are usually based on assumptions that they will be left on, say 3-4 hours, each time they are turned on, rather than having that 3-4 hours be spread out over many on/off cycles. The actual lifetime of a fluorescent lamp will suffer compared to its "rated" lifetime if this "on-time" assumption is not adhered to. This can lead to people thinking they should not turn off their lights as often as might be best for energy conservation purposes, leading to wasted energy.
- no concern about how often you turn on/off your lights
LED lamps have better control over the direction(s) in which their light is emitted. This is advantageous in applications where you only want the light to go in one general direction (unidirectional) rather than in all directions (omnidirectional). Think of recessed ceiling lighting where any light not directed downward is wasted. LEDs tend to generate light in one direction. By using lenses in the LED lamp, this light can be spread out to achieve various specified beam angles. To do that with incandescent or fluorescent light sources, which emit light in all directions, a reflector must be used (the 'R' part of 'PAR38' for example), and these reflectors are never perfect, causing some light loss in the process. This further increases the efficiency advantage of LED lamps over traditional light sources.
- less wasted light
LED lamps turn on instantly (reaching full brightness immediately). CFLs tend to have a warm-up period which may range from a few seconds to over a minute. During this warm-up period they are not as bright as they eventually become. This can lead to problems ranging from having to wait for light levels to increase to a useful level, wasting your time, to turning the lights on before you really need them, in anticipation of the warm-up period, wasting electricity.
- no wasted time or electricity
LED lamps can be used in colder temperatures than CFLs. Most CFLs will not turn on or will only emit very low levels of light in the cold (near freezing). I have not heard of a low-temperature limit for LED lamps although there may be one, but I'm sure it's much lower than that of CFLs.
- effective in cold temperatures
LED lamps are typically far more robust than CFLs. CFLs, with their thin glass tubing, are easily broken, such as by dropping them on a hard surface from just a few feet up. LED lamps are solid-state devices, and as such can handle impacts with far less risk of breakage/damage.
- much less easily broken
Why Choose CFLs over LED lamps?
LED lamps are still quite expensive compared to CFLs of similar light output ($50-$100+ versus $5-$10). This initial expense is not as bad though, if you consider both the extended lifetime of LED lamps over CFLs, and their efficiency advantage, allowing them to generate more light from less electricity. I have developed a formula that takes all those factors into account and can give you a cost-per-million-lumen-hours number for any lamp for which you have all the necessary specifications (and the cost of electricity). Recently I ran the numbers on some newly-introduced LED lamps and it is getting closer and closer to being able to justify the use of LED lamps over CFLs purely on the basis of total cost of ownership, without even considering any of the other advantages listed above.
LED lamps are still not as bright and/or small (for their brightness) as you can get CFLs. This means that some applications simply will not have a bright and small enough LED lamp available to fit them (when the lamp must fit in an enclosure).
Very few LED lamps currently available are dimmable. There are dimmable CFLs on the market now, at a somewhat higher price than their non-dimmable versions.
LED lamps are not as commonly available for omnidirectional applications (the classic "light bulb" shape). Due to the unidirectional nature of the light emitted by LEDs, it is a more difficult design challenge to build an LED lamp that can emit light in all directions.
LED lamps do not tend to emit so-called "Full Spectrum" light. Incandescent light by its nature is full spectrum, fluorescent light can be made to approximate full-spectrum light by appropriate use of different phosphors (at increased cost). This approach to achieving full-spectrum light could also be used for LED lamps, but I have yet to see it. People generally cannot see the difference between full-spectrum light of a given Correlated Color Temperature (CCT) and more narrow-spectrum light of that same CCT. Our eyes just average out all the frequencies of light they see and arrive at a single color, whether that color was achieved through many small levels of widely-spread-out frequencies of light (bell-shaped curve) or a couple of large spikes.

Controlling Education has been a dream of the Incrementalists since the days of John Dewey. Kevin Baker generated some fine commentary over a couple of books dealing with Incrementalist education since the beginning of the last century. That prompted me to recall something in more depth that I've only mentioned in passing here and elsewhere.
What follows is the lesson I learned from an incident I witnessed close to 50 years ago. My readers deserve to hear my report (that you won't find anywhere else) on my own site. I surely hope you guys can help this "agnostic" follow through with his conclusion. I'm pretty sure Kevin would not agree with that conclusion. I didn't even think of that portion while I was posting at his blog. That thought came to me overnight.

Who doesn't want to given Cereal Samples for Free or any Healthy and Yummy Food Freebies? Everyone loves Freebies especially the samples because we can try the products we want for FREE. When there are some Sales Promotion Girls in the Mall, I always walk toward them and hope she will give some Free samples for Me.
However, with internet, we don't need to get near the SPGs to getting The Free Samples of Products. Because Now Quality Health offer some nice Free Cereal Sample if you join them.� When I go to their page, they show the Kellogs Corn Flakes samples which I usually consume almost everyday. However, I still LOVE to get The Cereal and Breakfast Freebies. However, it may change with other brand, and I trust Quality Health only Offer the Healthy Samples.

Reports from Huddle for Haiti show its importance
The Huddle For Haiti team (pictured above) of CFL players, people from WestJet and Oxfam and media types touched down in the country Saturday and started their work. Around the one-year anniversary of last year's devastating Jan. 12 earthquake, the people involved are travelling around the area to examine the local conditions, help with reconstruction projects and run sporting activities for local children. They've also already run into some pretty staggering stuff, as TSN's Dave Naylor describes:
For nearly two hours our van rumbled through the broken streets of Port-au-Prince, surrounded by 360 degrees of desperation.
Tent cities on both sides of the road, thousands packed into dense space without the benefit of plumbing or electricity.
Raw sewage flowed onto the streets, piles of garbage stacked on top of curbs, all adjacent to where vendors were selling their wares.
"It was the worst thing I've ever seen in my life," said Winnipeg Blue Bomber Chris Cvetkovic, one of seven CFL players on this trip to mark the one-year anniversary of the Jan. 12, 2010 earthquake. "It was a two-hour car ride that didn't feel like two hours. I was just in awe. It made you feel guilty for everything you have."
"I'd see something that was so bad and then the next block it was worse. Then the next block was worse than that."
Naylor goes on to describe the shocking amount of visible damage that remains (some of which is pictured at right), and he calls the odour "the most foul smell I've ever experienced". It's not just his perception, either, as Rob Vanstone, covering the trip for The Regina Leader-Post and Postmedia News, wrote "I have never seen, or smelled, such a mess."
It's pretty amazing to think of such horrible conditions only a short trip away and still remaining in place so long after the initial disaster, but that perhaps illustrates the importance of this trip. The earthquake last year drew tons of media coverage from around the world, but much of that understandably went away as time passed. Some organizations, like The Globe and Mail, have kept reporters on the ground to cover the rebuilding efforts, but the Haitian disaster has largely passed out of sight and mind for many thanks to more recent tragedies around the world.
This project's a great way for the CFL players involved to not only accomplish things on the ground (like the reconstruction project the Eskimos' Graeme Bell is pictured observing at right in one of Naylor's photos), but use their own profiles to raise awareness of what conditions remain like in Haiti. In a way, it reminds me of the impact Tony Proudfoot made by taking his fight against ALS public. By doing so, he used his profile as a CFL legend to raise over $500,000 for research into the disease and alert many people to its dangers. Similarly, plenty of people have gone to Haiti to help with the reconstruction efforts, but few of them have the profile of CFL players; that's why it's great to see the players' association on board with this and so many of their members taking part. What they accomplish on the ground will certainly be valuable, but the most important part might be what their trip does to raise awareness of the struggles the country still faces.
It also says something about this league's players that they're choosing to do this during their offseason break instead of lounging by the pool, and it's perhaps notable that all the guys involved are blockers to some extent. The group of seven CFL players involved includes fullbacks Rolly Lumbala (B.C.) and Yvenson Bernard (Winnipeg), long-snapper Cvetkovic (Winnipeg) and offensive linemen Jason Jimenez (Hamilton), Kelly Bates, Aaron Fiacconi and Bell (all from Edmonton). They're used to doing the dirty work in the trenches on the gridiron to help others out, and that's exactly what they're doing this offseason as well.

You know how much I love flea markets, and last Sunday I happened to stop by the one in Piazza Santo Spirito, which for some reason I had never visited before.
The market is every second Sunday of the month and here you find a little bit of everything. Old books, clothes, furniture, records, jewelry and much more. There are also a few sellers with handmade things such as jewelry.
The market seems to be a mini version of the one held every third Sunday near Fortezza da basso. They sell more or less the same things but the market in Santo Spirito is smaller yet a lot more cosy. Piazza santo Spirito never disappoints. It's probably the most charming piazza in Florence.
Here are some quick iPhone snap shots from Sunday.

These cupcakes not only taste wonderful but are truly works of art. As far as taste they are light and flavorful with obviously very high quality ingredients. Unlike a lot of cupcake places around the frosting isn't sickly - it's fabulous and flavorful with chocolate tasting like CHOCOLATE (not artificial like so many do). The hummingbird cupcake is my personal favorite or maybe it's the coca cola one..or maybe it's the banana chocolate...ugh oh....guess they're all amazing!
