A/N: omfg I missed writing to I wrote this. And secrets didn't have much Niam in it so here~ this is kind of drawn from personal experience but foaifej. I have literally lost the ability to tell what is quality and what isn't anymore so please tell me what you think :3
also just a small note, "I'm Sorry" got removed! TT_TT but if you still want to read it, It's up on my tumblr (niall-wh0rean) and that's also where I'll be posting the follow up. but I don't think I'll be posting it again here. ):
Everyone has insecurities.
The little voice in the back of your head that points out your flaws.
I've always been self conscious, I guess that means the voice is just a little louder for me. But I have something to counter it now. A much sweeter voice. Liam's voice.
Liam and I have been dating for just a few days but every time he compliments me I can hear the voice fade. Liam is mine. And he accepts my flaws. For now.
I hate the voice. Every time I'm around Liam it goes away. But somehow, his words are losing their meaning. Very slowly. And every time he tries to comfort me they become less effective.
But the voice. The worst part. When he's gone it's like the voice is always beside me. Speaking just loud enough so I can hear it. Always.
I can't ignore the voice anymore. It's there when Liam is with me and when he's away. Contradicting ever positive word he says. I told him about the voice and he thinks I should see a therapist.
"please, just go talk to somebody for me. I-I'm worried about you." he grasps my hand in both of his.
you piece of shit. Making poor Liam fuss over you. He has enough to deal with without you. "I'm sorry. I don't know if I'm quite ready for that sort of… Commitment yet." I mumble into my lap. "I'm fine. Really."
Liam's eyebrows knit together in concern. "Niall. I love you." he doesn't. "I just want you happy" even though you don't deserve it "we'll talk later, yeah?" he stands up and places a light kiss to my cheek.
"yeah." I say quietly as he walks from my bedroom. And then he shuts the door behind him. And I'm in hell.
he's never coming back.
He's just left forever.
He doesn't want you anyway, he's just with you so you don't go off yourself or something.
Maybe you should just kill yourself.
It'd be much better for everyone.
Do it. Do it!
"LIAM!" the cry escapes my mouth before I can help it. He's back in my room in less than a minute.
"what is it love?" he still looks so concerned. I make a mental note to punish myself later.
and for the 3rd time that week the most pathetic sentence tumbles out of my mouth. "c-could you stay with me tonight?" I feel a hot blush creep up my face.
He smiles. His warm, comforting smile. "of course." he crosses the room and sits back down on the bed with me, wrapping his arm around my shoulders. "it's nothing to be ashamed of." he whispers.
it is.
The voice is a scream now. Around everything I do, the voice is yelling at me. Especially around Liam.
you're not good enough!
They all wish you'd just die!
Just do them all a favor and kill yourself!
They wouldn't cry if you were gone!
You worthless piece of shit!
Liam's sleepovers are an every night occurrence. And every day I act like I'll be fine, but as soon as he leaves the room it takes all my strength not to slit my wrists or tie a noose or take every pill I can find. So he stays. And I wish he didn't have to.
I finally spoke with the therapist Liam has been telling me to see. It was even worse than I'd expected. Not because I couldn't talk about it. But because Liam wasn't there. And when Liam's not there, the voice is all I hear. Like a roomful of conversations, yet I can hear ever razor sharp word with perfect clarity.
I don't know how much longer I'll last.
Kill yourself.
That's all the voice tells me anymore. I've given up. No more insults. No more games. Just a pure longing to die. And I've decided it's time. Tonight will be the last time Liam sees me. Alive.
I've been in the hospital for 2 weeks. It's weird, without the voice here. It my desperate attempt at suicide, I'd only managed to kill the voice.
It was still there at times, but seeing how people worried after I'd taken all those pills has lessened it's bite. I'm so glad Liam found me. Who knows where I'd be now if he hadn't.
And maybe this had to happen. Maybe I needed this, if only to get rid of the voice. Maybe in the big picture the voice was good for me or maybe it was bad but all that counts is that it's gone. It's sharp words no more than a gentle tug at the back of my mind. And I'm getting better.
Because everyone has insecurities. Right?
A/N: oh my god what is quality I don't even. please leave me a review/feedback/prompt for another one shot. now that I'm on summer vacation I can write more often soo yeah :3

A case study summarising a two day path development and skills training event for Broadford and Strath Community Company at Broadford, Isle of Skye and feedback on its success.
Case study with health professional discussing promotion of walking to people with cancer.

This document has kindly been made available to PFA by the Stirling Walking Network, and permission has been given for the wider Scottish Walking for Health network to use the document.
Sunset Over Oban by Linda Anderson-Kerr taken July 2012
Walking and cycling proposals are often regarded as an add-on to more substantial transport planning proposals such as roads infrastructure or public transport proposals. There are a number of reasons for this. Firstly, existing transport models usually cannot sufficiently demonstrate the role of active travel modes. Secondly, cost-benefit analyses of a switch of mode, for example from car to bicycle, are currently generally unable to quantify welfare gain to the user, such as health benefit. Lastly, transport planning is often focussed on issues concerned with the movement of powered vehicles.
This failure to substantially consider the role of walking and cycling in transportation solutions is in contrast with the importance placed on these modes by the Scottish Government, which recognises the considerable health and environmental benefits that these modes can offer.
As for other modes, the Scottish Transport Appraisal Guidance can and should provide a useful framework to help authorities consider the costs and benefits of potential cycling and walking proposals.

2015 Is a Lusterless Year for New MMORPGs in Korea, Only 5 Survived
The first half of 2015
- Hearthstone
- ELOA - open beta on Jan 20 (NA version is published by Webzen, available now)
- Football Manager Online - open beta on March 12 (No NA/EU version)
- Azera - open beta on April 8 (No NA/EU version, 2nd CBT in China now)
Among them, only Hearthstone is from abroad with the rest three are all developed by Korean game companies. After ELOA entered into open beta, its best rank is in the 13th of the leaderboard, which is not bad but it only lasts for 6 months and then its rank started to decline. Football Manager Online is developed by SEGA Korean company. Though Football Manager is a famous single player game, the online version is about up to the average with a highest rank at 46 and disappeared from the charts in only 2 weeks. As for Azera, an adult MMORPG aiming for male players only stayed in the list for 11 weeks.

Peeps Oreos Are on Shelves For Easter
Ever since Oreo started ripping off tons of new, random flavors, some have been incredible and some have been unholy affronts to God himself. And their latest… well, I think it falls into that second category.
The very concept of a peeps oreo is so upsetting that I'm canceling easter.
— Desgardes (@Desgardes) October 10, 2016
Because just in time for Easter, Peeps Oreos have hit the shelves. They use vanilla Oreo cookies, plus a "marshmallow Peeps flavor cream." And that cream is pink, which is festive but looks pretty unappetizing.
The Peeps Oreos are on sale right now at Walmart and they should be available for the next few months.

Background: NADPH oxidases play an essential role in reactive oxygen species (ROS)-based signaling in the heart. Previously, we have demonstrated that (peri)nuclear expression of the catalytic NADPH oxidase subunit NOX2 in stressed cardiomyocytes, e.g. under ischemia or high concentrations of homocysteine, is an important step in the induction of apoptosis in these cells. Here this ischemia-induced nuclear targeting and activation of NOX2 was specified in cardiomyocytes. Methods: The effect of ischemia, mimicked by metabolic inhibition, on nuclear localization of NOX2 and the NADPH oxidase subunits p22 phox and p47 phox, was analyzed in rat neonatal cardiomyoblasts (H9c2 cells) using Western blot, immuno-electron microscopy and digital-imaging microscopy. Results: NOX2 expression significantly increased in nuclear fractions of ischemic H9c2 cells. In addition, in these cells NOX2 was found to colocalize in the nuclear envelope with nuclear pore complexes, p22 phox, p47 phox and nitrotyrosine residues, a marker for the generation of ROS. Inhibition of NADPH oxidase activity, with apocynin and DPI, significantly reduced (peri)nuclear expression of nitrotyrosine. Conclusion: We for the first time show that NOX2, p22 phox and p47 phox are targeted to and produce ROS at the nuclear pore complex in ischemic cardiomyocytes. © 2011 S. Karger AG, Basel.

Welcome comic fans! Thanks for coming back to check out the second part of my Dallas Comic Con write up. You can read about the convention and my experience there in the first part. Today is all about the cosplay! From Friday through Sunday there were lots of great costumes on hand, including some truly incredible builds. Friday was a small showing all around at the convention, but Saturday brought out the amazing hard work of some truly dedicated cosplayers. Sunday I joined in on the fun and mingled with some fellow DC characters. Anyway, that's all you'll find here. Though I did want to make one note that I forgot in my first article. There were some weird inconsistencies with weapons check. There was a "no metal" rule, which had some shield-wielding characters denied their main prop. Bow-and-arrow wielding characters who were not handled similarly. And times when no one manned the weapons check table at all. Some clear-cut, written out rules (particularly if offered ahead of time) would help a lot. Enough of that. On to the cosplay! Now, I took WAY more photos than I could possibly share, so I'm going to be posting my favorites here. If you want to see ALL of them, you can hit up my DCC 2014 album on Facebook.
Well, that's a wrap! Also, I tried to credit as many people as I could without listing personal names/websites, but if you want to be credited to your photo here, just give me the info and I'll add it in! Thanks for all the amazing cosplayers for coming out, and to North Texas Cosplay for the very useful Cosplayer Hideaway (and for helping me credit some of these fab creations). And, of course, to Dallas Comic Con!

So, it's almost the middle of November, which means that Christmas is just a little over a month away. Cue obligatory: "How did that happen!?" Yes, shocking, time moves forward. *Yawn*.
Anyway, this is also the time of year that everyone starts kicking their Christmas shopping into high gear. Twice today I got texts from family asking what I wanted for Christmas, and I have to say, I was a little stumped at first.
In case you didn't know, I'm a minimalist. No, I'm not one of those people who only owns 100 items, and I don't sleep on a futon on the floor. I just…don't like having a lot stuff around me. I enjoy empty space, and having too much stuff gives me anxiety. If given the chance, I would rather declutter my house than buy stuff for it. The downside of this is, of course, that it's tough for people to shop for me. First world problems much?
So, when my husband and my Mom texted me and asked me what I wanted for Christmas this year, I had a bit of trouble coming up with a list. I've thought about it extensively, and here are a few things that I think every minimalist will appreciate.
Minimalist Christmas Gift Ideas
Even if your friend is a minimalist, I can pretty much guarantee that there's at least one thing in their life that they'd like to have. For me, it was a new pair of slippers, a hot water bottle, and some candles. These three things encompass the three categories of acceptable physical gifts for a minimalist:
Replacing Something Old
I need new slippers. Mine are five years old and they've lost all coziness. They're mostly just indoor shoes at this point. So, I asked for a new pair to replace my old pair. I'm ok with this physical item, because it's replacing something that is old and needs replacing.
Something that Improves Their Life
My house is really cold in the winter time due to poor insulation, so having a nice and cozy hot water bottle would make my evenings infinitely better. I'm ok with adding this particular item to my inventory, because it would improve my enjoyment of life, while taking up almost no space, and costing little money. If there's something you could add to your minimalist's life that could make his or her days much easier, I say go for it.
Something Consumable
The last item, candles, is an example of a physical item that I'm fine with receiving as a gift for Christmas, because I'm not going to keep it forever. Candles are consumable. No, I don't mean I'm going to eat them (although some candles smell good enough to eat). I mean that I'm going to burn them, and then they'll be done and I can recycle the container. I'm not going to keep my candles forever, I'm going to use them and then be rid of them.
I love receiving consumable gifts. This can span to a bunch of different items including soaps, bottles of wine, and cheeses.
Other Gifts to Give a Minimalist
There are also other gifts you can give your minimalist friend, including classes, movie money, gift cards, food, and your time. You can learn more about those by reading last year's minimalist christmas gift guide. Buying for your minimalist friend doesn't have to suck! You can still get them an awesome gift while abiding by their personal convictions.
What're you getting the minimalist in your life this year?

I love Cheech and Chong as if they were uncles from my own family. One of my prized possessions is my 'Chong Bong' that was part of the Operation Pipedreams crackdown. It's on my bucket list to get it autographed by at least Tommy Chong, but preferably both of them. Below is a video that was recommended to me by YouTube. I figured I would post it for your viewing pleasure. Happy Friday!

We live in Chicago, on the second floor of a walk-up.
I don't have the time, to run my little Yorkie up and down those stairs
6 times a day! Nor do I want to, especially in the Winter!
Trixie arrived to us in the middle of Winter, 3 years ago. We knew as a newborn, we did not want to run her outside in the snow and cold to do her business. So we opted for pad training. Most of our home is hard wood floors. So we layed the pads directly on the wood. In one room we have plush carpet, so we bought a sturdy plastic tray to hold that pad.
Within 8 weeks, she was using the pads religiously! When Spring came, we decided it was much easier and way more convenient to just keep using the pads. Allowing her to go to bathroom whenever
she wanted without interupting our days.
she wanted without interupting our days.
The pads can be costly, when purchased from your local pet stores. But I discovered Med NET Direct online that offers THE BEST PRICES in the country! Shipped right to your door for FREE! Buy them by the case and save hundreds of dollars per year, over the pet store prices! They also have lots of other dog and pet products on their site worth checking out.

Nice pics.
What cam/lens?
D70s w/kit 18-70 lens
Very nice!
Looking good, it is one of the greatest.
Nice shots - nowhere near as nice as this hemisphere.
The foreground is a little dark imo.
In the first shot, the sun was about to go behind a mountain on my left, the tail of which you can see in shadow at the left of the picture.
Anyway, I don't have a tripod, so HDR is out of the question, but one day I'd like to give it a shot. I have some great locations where HDR would work nicely.

An IBEW website lists steps for its members to take to protest the approval of amendments to the Ontario College of Trades and Apprenticeship Act dealing with enforcement of scopes of trade, appeals of penalties and trade classification reviews, among other policies. The electricians are urged to keep up the pressure on the Ontario government until regulations are approved that finally implement the reforms.
Two different IBEW Twitter sites also posted photos of onsite protests apparently held in early January including one outside the Ottawa office of Ontario Infrastructure Minister Bob Chiarelli Jan. 6.
The amendments were included in Bill 70, which received third reading in the Ontario legislature and then Royal Assent on Dec. 9.
The IBEW and other members of the Progressive Certified Trades Coalition argue the reforms will permit non-compulsory trades workers to perform work that should be limited to compulsory trades, eroding safety. The Ministry of Labour has firmly denied the reforms have that effect.
"We will keep protesting until we see the premier paying attention to our concerns," said John Grimshaw, executive secretary treasurer of the IBEW Construction Council of Ontario, in an email sent Jan. 9. "We have made suggestions for a way forward but as of today have received no indication that our concerns will be addressed. All we get from this government is lip service."
The IBEW website encourages unionized electricians to contact their union local and ask how they can participate, non-unionized workers to contact their MPP, and all electricians to discuss the issues with colleagues, spread the word on social media and attend protests.
Grimshaw said IBEW members would be protesting at Labour Minister Kevin Flynn's Oakville office today (Jan. 13).

The Orioles' offseason took another nasty turn this afternoon.
The Office of the Commissioner of Baseball announced today that orioles left-hander Troy Patton has received a 25-game suspension without pay after testing positive for an amphetamine in violation of Major League Baseball's Joint Drug Prevention and Treatment Program.
The suspension of Patton will be effective at the start of the 2014 regular season.
Patton couldn't be reached for comment. Executive vice president Dan Duquette will issue a brief statement later today.
Patton, who was tendered a contract at the Dec. 2 deadline, was 2-0 with a 3.70 ERA in 56 relief appearances this season.
The Orioles acquired Patton, Matt Albers, Mike Costanzo, Dennis Sarfate and Luke Scott from the Astros on Dec. 12, 2007 for shortstop Miguel Tejada.
Patton's spot on the roster on opening day could be taken by another left-hander on the 40-man roster, a list that includes T.J. McFarland, Chris Jones, Mike Belfiore, Kelvin De La Cruz and Zach Britton.
In January 2011, Patton was arrested and charged with a DWI in Houston after police pulled him over for speeding and driving over a curb. According to police, Patton failed a breathalyzer test by registering a 0.14 blood-alcohol level, which is nearly twice the legal limit of 0.08 in Texas. He was released on $500 bond.
Update: MLB issues 25-game suspensions for a second positive test for amphetamines.
Duquette's statement is expected to be rather generic, since clubs aren't allowed to comment on suspensions. Most likely, he will offer support of the Drug Prevention and Treatment Program.

Ten things I think, I think after the Flyers' complete meltdown at Prudential Center at the hands of the New Jersey Devils, 6-2 (see game recap).
Obviously, the Flyers' wild-card hopes took a major hit when goalie Steve Mason exited with cramps after trying to make a save on Taylor Hall's breakaway goal in the third period.
Yet the effort in front of him even before the injury was appalling for a team that claims it wants to win the wild card.
Dave Hakstol's club showed more fight after the game than during regulation. That's inexcusable, even considering it was on the second night of back-to-back games.
1. This was a classic case of the Flyers' playing down to the competition a night after they kicked the Pittsburgh Penguins around the rink. The Devils, who aren't playoff-bound, were the hungrier team while the Flyers were too docile. New Jersey played with the kind of desperation that the Flyers should have shown given their place in the wild-card standings. Simply put, it's inexcusable and it's a reason why they won't make the playoff cut with 12 games left.
2. What is it about the Devils' penalty kill that simply frustrates the hell out of the Flyers? Hakstol's bunch is now 0 for 12 against New Jersey this season. After all, the Devils' PK units are just barely better than the Flyers' – 19th in the NHL. There's no rationale for the Flyers not scoring against them.
3. Hard to believe Harry, but John Hynes' Devils came into play having lost 10 consecutive games (0-8-2) and yet they came out challenging the Flyers. Truth is, this is a rivalry going back to the Meadowlands where New Jersey always showed up against the Flyers on home ice, regardless of where either team was in the standings.
4. The Flyers have had some issues this season with teams scoring off the faceoff against them. It happened recently at home against Columbus and it reoccurred against the Devils late in the first period when Travis Zajac won a faceoff from Valtteri Filppula. Kyle Palmieri came out of a pile in the high slot for a screen shot that Mason had trouble finding. That tied the game 1-1 when the Flyers should have gone into the intermission with a lead. Between the time the Flyers scored first and got their next shot, 11 minutes had elapsed.
5. Rookie defenseman Ivan Provorov has been the club's best defenseman this season. Like all young D-men, he makes mistakes. Most of them are turnovers. He had a bad one in the opening minutes against Pittsburgh on Wednesday and Mason had to make a save on Conor Sheary. Provorov made an uncharacteristic lazy-stick play in the second period behind his own net in New Jersey and the Devils' Adam Henrique jumped all over it for a go-ahead goal, 2-1.
6. The Devils' Joseph Blandisi scored a power-play goal for a 3-1 lead. New Jersey has 10 power-play goals against the Flyers' sagging penalty-kill units this season. Ten!
7. Zajac's line with Hall and Palmieri had a dominant game against the Flyers with two goals and two assists. The six goals by Jersey were a season-high.
8. The Flyers came back in the second half of the middle stanza to play better. Yet the fact that the Devils were outplaying them from the get-go is disconcerting given New Jersey is going nowhere and the Flyers are still mathematically alive in the wild-card chase. The Flyers had no shots through the first eight minutes of the third period. Where's the urgency?
9. Michal Neuvirth came off the bench when Mason got hurt and immediately was tested. This is where you need a save badly. Instead, Henrique put the game away at 5-2.
10. The total inconsistency of the Flyers with a brilliant effort against their most hated rival, followed by a tepid one against a team that is far below them, says volumes about their playoff aspirations or lack thereof.

Charlie Wilson's War is the untold story behind the last battle of the Cold War and how it fueled the rise of militant Islam. George Crile tells how Charlie Wilson, a maverick congressman from east Texas, conspired with a rogue CIA operative to launch the biggest, meanest, and most successful covert operation in the agency's history. In the early 1980s, after a Houston socialite turned Wilson's attention to the ragged Afghan freedom fighters who continued to fight the Soviet invaders despite overwhelming odds, the congressman became passionate about their cause and procured hundreds of millions of dollars to support the mujahideen.
Moving from the back rooms of the Capitol, to secret chambers at Langley, to arms-dealers conventions, to the Khyber Pass, this book is a detailed and brilliantly reported account of the inside workings of the CIA.
Why we think it's Essential: With shades of both Tom Clancy and Dr. Strangelove, Charlie Wilson's War is the incredible true story of a gregarious Texas Congressman, a shadowy CIA operative, and their campaign to fund the Afghan jihad against the Soviet Union. Christopher Lane's smooth narration compliments George Crile's well-researched chronicle...right through to a riveting coda that reminds us of the operation's very real ramifications. Ed Walloga
2004 Audie Award Winner, Unabridged Nonfiction
"Crile, a 60 Minutes producer, offers an absorbing, thoroughly detailed look at the largest and most successful CIA operation in U.S. history: the arming of the Mujahideen in Afghanistan." (Booklist)
"An engaging, well-written, newsworthy study of practical politics and its sometimes unlikely players." (Kirkus Reviews)
"Narrator Christopher Lane affects an even tone and pace, allowing the events of the story to carry the listener to the extraordinary highs and sickening lows of the flawed but heroic Wilson. Thankfully, Lane takes it easy on the accents and shines brightest when allowing a tinge of cynicism in his delivery." (AudioFile)
"Put the Tom Clancy clones back on the shelf; this covert-ops chronicle is practically impossible to put down." (Publishers Weekly)

Partial oxidation of toluene to benzaldehyde and benzoic acid over model vanadia/titania catalysts
Pure and K-doped vanadia/titania catalysts have been studied by transient response method and in situ DRIFTS during toluene partial oxidn. They were characterized by FT-Raman spectroscopy, TPR, TPD of pyridine and XPS. In order to elucidate the role of different vanadia species for catalysis, the study was carried out in aerobic and anaerobic conditions. Monolayer species (monomeric and polymeric) are responsible for the catalytic activity and selectivity. Bulk V2O5 present in the catalysts with high concn. of vanadia supplies oxygen for the monolayer species easily reducible by toluene. This oxygen is necessary for the products formation and desorption in the absence of gaseous oxygen. Potassium at low concn. diminishes the total rate of toluene oxidn. and suppresses deactivation provided by cocking. This is due to transformation of the polymeric species to the not active K-doped monomeric ones. [on SciFinder (R)]

I'm pretty easy-going, talkative (NO I won't talk your ear off I love getting to the action the same as you), smart, little bit of a smart-ass haha, I'm hot . I'll have wine, candles, soft music, all that good stuff.....

Climate change is global warming. The world is getting hotter, and we're accelerating the process. Recent decades have been the hottest on record the hottest on record, and whilst many sceptics will say the sun is causing the heat but the true fact is that the sun's heat and the climate have been going in opposite directions for over 35 years.
The issue though isn't the world killing us; it's us.
A rapidly warming climate will make some places wetter and others drier. This could affect the quality and quantity of available food on the table of every single person on the planet. Years ago, Russian president Vladimir Putin stated climate change would benefit Russia due to the high amounts of newly farmable land. To clarify, however, Putin later confirmed his fears that"Caused by global warming, hurricanes, droughts, floods and other anomalies are the source of economic damage."
We've all heard the facts that a hotter climate leads to the rising sea levels – glaciers are melting and adding to an already flooding arctic. Some theorise that this may be the year of the "Blue Ocean Event" The Blue Ocean would see the Arctic Ocean as practically ice-less.
So what can we do?
Well sorry to be dooming but there is very little. Turning off your high-powered electrical devices and using less power is a start. Ultimately, until everyone has enough money to eat better and drive electric cars, we're stuck and it's only going to get worse.

E-Health Systems: For Love or Money?
"Failure is not an option," said the VP of finance at a small hospital. "We must achieve meaningful use if we are to keep our doors open and to remain a viable business."
On the other hand, 89% of leaders say that e-health systems will improve quality of care industrywide within 10 years, and many talked about the benefits to patients and quality of care.
"The importance of knowing the patient's entire story outweighs 'competition,'" said the CNO of a midsized hospital. "It is also important to better aggregate statistical and demographic information for our area to better address and provide appropriate preventive care and education."

Dublin, March 9 (Reuters): Chart-toppers Westlife announced on Tuesday that singer Bryan McFadden was quitting the group, a move that could signal the beginning of the end for the Irish boy-band.
However, manager Louis Walsh insisted it was business as usual for the remaining four members, who are currently rehearsing for a mammoth world tour.
McFadden, aged 23, said he was leaving to spend more time with wife Kerry, the recent winner of the British hit television show Im a Celebrity...Get Me Out of Here! and their two young children. Its nothing to do with the guys, he told a packed news conference in Dublin, playing down any suggestion of a rift.
I havent been able to commit 100 per cent to my family or the band for a while. Its been unfair on both and I just felt now was the right time for me to stand back, he said.
McFadden said his surprise departure was unconnected to his wifes recent success in being hailed Queen of the Jungle. Kerry has reportedly since been inundated with offers to present television shows.
Westlife made history by becoming the first act to reach number one with their first seven releases after bursting onto the pop scene in 1999.
In total, a record-breaking 11 out of the bands first 13 singles including Flying Without Wings entered the chart at number one.
The remaining band members said they were devastated by McFaddens decision to leave but were determined to continue as a four-piece. Plans were already in motion to release their next album, a Motown duets collection on which legends Lionel Ritchie and Diana Ross have agreed to participate.
We feel weve got a lot of unfinished business left and we would hope that our fans stay with us as we need their support now more than ever, said a tearful Nicky Byrne, 25, who is married to one of Irish Prime Minister Bertie Aherns daughters.
However, fans both young and old who braved a bitterly cold day to wait outside one of Dublins plushest hotels for a glimpse of their heroes were unconvinced. The whole of my teenage life was spent with Westlife and they'll never be the same again, sobbed a distraught Hailey Thorpe, aged 20, clutching one of her favourite CDs by the band.

15 hi-tech trends in China
10 comments
SAN JOSE, Calif. - Market research house RedTech Advisors offers a glimpse at the key themes in China that will play out in 2011 and beyond.
RedTech a Shanghai-based advisory firm specializing in China's consumer, cleantech and medical hi-tech sectors. B. Michael Clendenin is the founder and managing director of RedTech Advisors. (For more information, contact firstname.lastname@example.com or email@example.com on this page.)
Here are 15 trends and commentary from the firm:
1) Telecom: Improving affordability
''China's 3G rollout will still be in its early phase in 2011, but the focus of attention will continue to shift away from expanding network coverage and toward increasing network affordability. 3G subscribers will hit ~47 million this year, up 3.5x over 2009. We expect subs to near 140 million in 2011.''
2) TV drivers: LED and Net-connected
''After a tough second half in 2010, domestic TV makers are looking to LED and Net-connected TVs to help them rebuild momentum. The former will do well, approaching 40-45 percent by the end of 2011 and helping to boost ASPs. Net TV is still more of a gamble. China's content regulator, SARFT, is being very protective of its role as the content traffic cop. Its wariness slowed the development of TV maker content portals in 2009 and 2010, but partnerships are beginning to firm up between content providers and the likes of Skyworth, TCL and others so 2011 should see faster development.''
3) Consumer electronics boom
''The China consumer electronics market is estimated at around $151 billion in 2010 and this is expected to increase to $219 billion by 2014, for a compound average growth rate of about 8 percent. In the near term, we still expect volume to grow faster than value as entry-level or low-end devices increasingly account for a greater portion of sales. Much of this has to do with the consumer base for electronics swelling to include rural residents and lower income workers from China's smaller cities.''
4) Tablet PCs
''Compared to notebooks, tablets are 50 percent of the price, 20 percent of the weight and 80 percent of the utility. To us, that is 100 percent disruptive. The Shenzhen tablet industry is kicking into overdrive, hoping ARM-based, Android-driven tablets will be a key driver in 2011 and 2012. IDC is expecting 2.5mn tablets will be sold in China in 2011 (and they usually low-ball the market by ignoring a lot of the shanzhai guys.)''
5) Cheap PCs
''To own a PC five years ago, an average urban Chinese consumer had to hand over two to three months' wages. But rising incomes and dramatic price cuts during the past several years have made new PC owners out of tens of millions of Chinese. China's PC industry recorded 20 percent CAGR from 2000-2010, and volume growth will remain in the 10-15 percent range through 2014.''
6) Online Video
''In 2011, all eyes will be on Baidu's online video JV, called Qiyi. Its CEO, Gong Yu, recently said the site should become profitable by Q4 2012, and remain so for all of 2013 with operating revenues of 300 million to 500 million yuan for the year. This will put more pressure on Youku and Tudou to perform. The good news is there's headroom for growth in ad rates, and advertisers are increasingly interested in the medium because it's a more powerful way to establish brand identity in a developing market.''
7) Social networking sites (SNS)
''The next hot Chinese tech IPO in 2011 will likely come from social networking site Ren Ren. There were about 210 million SNS users in China at the end of June, up from 175 million in December 2009. We've also heard that kids SNS game developer TaoMee wants to make an IPO run as well. So far, the SNS sector has developed in a vacuum, as foreign players like Facebook are usually blocked. That may change in 2011. Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg visited the offices of Baidu this week to see if Facebook can find more friends in China.''
8) Gaming
''Lots of hand-wringing over the online games market in 2011. Clearly, the market is maturing, as shown by two consecutive year-over-year declines in Q2 and Q3. There are still too many players in the market, cranking out games with little differentiation. Consolidation is needed, but you could say that for a lot of industries in China – hardly means it will happen.''
9) E-commerce
''Most people think Taobao when they think about e-commerce in China, but that's so C2C. The new action for 2011 will be in B2C, where scrappy, fast movers like 360buy.com will face off against online bookseller Dangdang as well as brick-and-mortar types like Gome and Suning that are seriously behind on developing a compelling online presence. Don't get me wrong: C2C will still far outdo B2C, but the faster pace of growth will come from the latter and we expect an IPO out of 360buy in late 2011 or early 2012. Not bad for an outfit that started out as a dingy booth in Beijing's Zhongguancun.''
10) Internet Incursions
''Baidu's move to open a B2C online shopping mall in partnership with Rakuten is just one of many signs of a shifting Chinese internet landscape. Until recently, there seemed a tacit understanding among China's Net oligarchs to respect each other's territories - almost like Mafia Dons. Those days are gone. A bloody turf war will unfold in 2011, as maturing businesses spur China's biggest Net players to covetously eye that which had traditionally belonged to his neighbor.
Baidu wants a piece of e-commerce and video. Alibaba is eying search; Sina and Sohu are too. Tencent wants it all. In this war, we don't believe a decisive winner will emerge. Rather, we see subtle shifts that will eventually have dramatic results.''
11) E-readers/E-books
''We can't resist saying that this is a hard market to read in China. The model here is so different from the West. E-readers are relatively pricey in China because e-reader vendors need to make money from the hardware since Chinese users resist paying for the content. That will change over time, possibly several years.''
12) Triple play
''Trials will continue in 2011, but we don't see any grand expansion that will result in the kind of numbers that the government is estimating. One of the key reasons is that the cable industry is still too fragmented to execute on triple play and the telecom industry is too distracted, trying to ramp-up 3G. These issues won't be resolved until late 2011 or even into 2012.''
13) Foundry: SMIC
''Pure coincidence that foundry SMIC comes in at No. 13. Yet we cannot ignore the huge amount of luck it will need to accomplish its 5/5 plan -- $5 billion in 5 years (2010-2014). Organic growth is out, but M&A might do the trick. Look for SMIC to flirt with becoming an IDM to hit its target. It has the support/interference of the government and a determined chairman.
Note that this is not our forecast, only a guide as to the type of growth the foundry would need to hit its target. The foundry industry will likely only see low double-digit growth during this period, with an aggressive expansion by both TSMC and Global Foundries.''
14) Long-Term Evolution
''It's ironic that after waiting forever and a day to launch 3G, China seems eager to push into 4G-based LTE. But hang on, MIIT recently said trials would begin in Q1-2011. Some of us are familiar with that unique dialect of gobbledygook that MIIT technocrats speak. For those who aren't: Trials = another five years of waiting. So far, Beijing-based Innofidei and ST-Ericsson are already testing TD-LTE chips with China Mobile, but we know Mobile would like to see some other options in the market. There's plenty of time for Spreadtrum and one or two others to get something out since we don't expect the first inkling of a TD-LTE ramp to even begin until 2012, which means the market won't be worthwhile until 2014.''
15) Cloud Computing
''Expect more announcements in 2011, mostly driven by government projects.''

The majority of pathogenic mutations in BRCA1 result in a truncated protein. Although most missense changes in BRCA1 are of unknown functional significance, a handful of deleterious missense mutations have been identified. The majority of these occur in splice sites or highly conserved protein domains. Previously, we developed a predictive model, VUS Predict, to classify BRCA variants of uncertain significance as neutral or deleterious. It uses evolutionary prediction algorithms together with clinical information from cancer pathology reports and BRCA genetic testing results. Because of the higher probability that missense changes occurring in conserved BRCA1 domains are of pathogenic significance, we identified all individuals in our cohort who had been tested for BRCA1 and BRCA2 mutations who had missense changes in the BRCA1 ring finger domain and sought to classify those changes. We applied VUS Predict to three previously uncharacterized variants and four missense changes known to be deleterious. Two variants, L22S and T37K, were predicted to be deleterious and one variant, K45Q, was predicted to be neutral by VUS Predict. The mutations C39R, C44Y, C44S, and C61G were confirmed as deleterious. © 2009 Springer Science+Business Media, LLC.

We synthesize multifunctional microbubbles (MBs) for targeted delivery of antivascular endothelial growth factor (antiVEGF) therapy with multimodal imaging guidance. Poly-lactic-co-glycolic acid (PLGA) MBs encapsulating Texas Red dye are fabricated by a modified double-emulsion process. Simultaneous ultrasound and fluorescence imaging are achieved using Texas Red encapsulated MBs. The MBs are conjugated with Avastin, an antiVEGF antibody for treating neovascular age-related macular degeneration (AMD). The conjugation efficiency is characterized by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA). The efficiency for targeted binding of Avastinconjugated MBs is characterized by microscopic imaging. Our work demonstrates the technical potential of using multifunctional MBs for targeted delivery of antiVEGF therapy in the treatment of exudative AMD. © 2010 Society of Photo-Optical Instrumentation Engineers.

Centrosome amplification (CA) contributes to carcinogenesis by generating aneuploidy. Elevated frequencies of CA in most benign breast lesions and primary tumors suggest a causative role for CA in breast cancers. Clearly, identifying which and how altered signal transduction pathways contribute to CA is crucial to breast cancer control. Although a causative and cooperative role for c-Myc and Ras in mammary tumorigenesis is well documented, their ability to generate CA during mammary tumor initiation remains unexplored. To answer that question, K-Ras G12D and c-Myc were induced in mouse mammary glands. Although CA was observed in mammary tumors initiated by c-Myc or K-Ras G12D, it was detected only in premalignant mammary lesions expressing K-Ras G12D. CA, both in vivo and in vitro, was associated with increased expression of the centrosome-regulatory proteins, cyclin D1 and Nek2. Abolishing the expression of cyclin D1, Cdk4 or Nek2 in MCF10A human mammary epithelial cells expressing H-Ras G12V abrogated Ras-induced CA, whereas silencing cyclin E1 or B2 had no effect. Thus, we conclude that CA precedes mammary tumorigenesis, and interfering with centrosome-regulatory targets suppresses CA.

Nucleosomes, the fundamental units of chromatin structure, are regulators and barriers to transcription, replication and repair. Post-translational modifications (PTMs) of the histone proteins within nucleosomes regulate these DNA processes. Histone H3(T118) is a site of phosphorylation [H3(T118ph)] and is implicated in regulation of transcription and DNA repair. We prepared H3(T118ph) by expressed protein ligation and determined its influence on nucleosome dynamics. We find H3(T118ph) reduces DNA-histone binding by 2 kcal/mol, increases nucleosome mobility by 28-fold and increases DNA accessibility near the dyad region by 6-fold. Moreover, H3(T118ph) increases the rate of hMSH2-hMSH6 nucleosome disassembly and enables nucleosome disassembly by the SWI/SNF chromatin remodeler. These studies suggest that H3(T118ph) directly enhances and may reprogram chromatin remodeling reactions. © 2011 The Author(s).

Epigenetics | Year: 2010
MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are short non-coding RNA molecules that regulate post-transcriptional gene expression. They influence a wide range of physiological functions, including neuronal processes, and are regulated by various mechanisms, such as DNA methylation. This epigenetic mark is recognized by transcriptional regulators such as the methyl CpG binding protein Mecp2. Rett syndrome is a complex neurological disorder that has been associated with mutations in the gene coding for Mecp2. Thus, we examined the possible miRNA misregulation caused by Mecp2 absence in a mouse model of Rett syndrome. Using miRNA expression microarrays, we observed that the brain of Rett syndrome mice undergoes a disruption of the expression profiles of miRNAs. Among the significantly altered miRNAs (26%, 65 of 245), overall downregulation of these transcripts was the most common feature (71%), while the remaining 30% were upregulated. Further validation by quantitative RT-PCR demonstrated that the most commonly disrupted miRNAs were miR-146a, miR-146b, miR-130, miR-122a, miR-342 and miR-409 (downregulated) and miR-29b, miR329, miR-199b, miR-382, miR-296, miR-221 and miR-92 (upregulated). Most importantly, transfection of miR-146a in a neuroblastoma cell line caused the downregulation of IL-1 receptor-associated kinase 1 (Irak1) levels, suggesting that the identified defect of miR-146a in Rett syndrome mice brains might be responsible for the observed upregulation of Irak1 in this model of the human disease. Overall, we provide another level of molecular deregulation occurring in Rett syndrome that might be useful for understanding the disease and for designing targeted therapies. © 2010 Landes Bioscience.

Objective: To address the mechanisms underlying hatha yoga's potential stress-reduction benefits, we compared inflammatory and endocrine responses of novice and expert yoga practitioners before, during, and after a restorative hatha yoga session, as well as in two control conditions. Stressors before each of the three conditions provided data on the extent to which yoga speeded an individual's physiological recovery. Methods: A total of 50 healthy women (mean age, 41.32 years; range, 30-65 years), 25 novices and 25 experts, were exposed to each of the conditions (yoga, movement control, and passive-video control) during three separate visits. Results: The yoga session boosted participants' positive affect compared with the control conditions, but no overall differences in inflammatory or endocrine responses were unique to the yoga session. Importantly, even though novices and experts did not differ on key dimensions, including age, abdominal adiposity, and cardiorespiratory fitness, novices' serum interleukin (IL)-6 levels were 41% higher than those of experts across sessions, and the odds of a novice having detectable C-reactive protein (CRP) were 4.75 times as high as that of an expert. Differences in stress responses between experts and novices provided one plausible mechanism for their divergent serum IL-6 data; experts produced less lipopolysaccharide-stimulated IL-6 in response to the stressor than novices, and IL-6 promotes CRP production. Conclusion: The ability to minimize inflammatory responses to stressful encounters influences the burden that stressors place on an individual. If yoga dampens or limits stress-related changes, then regular practice could have substantial health benefits. Copyright © 2010 by the American Psychosomatic Society.

Differential Identification using Mixtures Ensemble (DIME) is a package for identification of biologically significant differential binding sites between two conditions using ChIP-seq data. It considers a collection of finite mixture models combined with a false discovery rate (FDR) criterion to find statistically significant regions. This leads to a more reliable assessment of differential binding sites based on a statistical approach. In addition to ChIP-seq, DIME is also applicable to data from other high-throughput platforms. © The Author 2011. Published by Oxford University Press. All rights reserved.

DNA Repair | Year: 2013
There are six human RAD51 related proteins (HsRAD51 paralogs), HsRAD51B, HsRAD51C, HsRAD51D, HsXRCC2, HsXRCC3 and HsDMC1, that appear to enhance HsRAD51 mediated homologous recombinational (HR) repair of DNA double strand breaks (DSBs). Here we model the structures of HsRAD51, HsRAD51B and HsRAD51C and show similar domain orientations within a hypothetical nucleoprotein filament (NPF). We then demonstrate that HsRAD51B-HsRAD51C heterodimer forms stable complex on ssDNA and partially stabilizes the HsRAD51 NPF against the anti-recombinogenic activity of BLM. Moreover, HsRAD51B-HsRAD51C stimulates HsRAD51 mediated D-loop formation in the presence of RPA. However, HsRAD51B-HsRAD51C does not facilitate HsRAD51 nucleation on a RPA coated ssDNA. These results suggest that the HsRAD51B-HsRAD51C complex plays a role in stabilizing the HsRAD51 NPF during the presynaptic phase of HR, which appears downstream of BRCA2-mediated HsRAD51 NPF formation. © 2013 Elsevier B.V.

The [A] allele of SNP rs965513 in 9q22 has been consistently shown to be highly associated with increased papillary thyroid cancer (PTC) risk with an odds ratio of 1.8 as determined by genome-wide association studies, yet the molecular mechanisms remain poorly understood. Previously, we noted that the expression of two genes in the region, forkhead box E1 (FOXE1) and PTC susceptibility candidate 2 (PTCSC2), is regulated by rs965513 in unaffected thyroid tissue, but the underlying mechanisms were not elucidated. Here, we fine-mapped the 9q22 region in PTC and controls and detected an 33-kb linkage disequilibrium block (containing the lead SNP rs965513) that significantly associates with PTC risk. Chromatin characteristics and regulatory element signatures in this block disclosed at least three regulatory elements functioning as enhancers. These enhancers harbor at least four SNPs (rs7864322, rs12352658, rs7847449, and rs10759944) that serve as functional variants. The variant genotypes are associated with differential enhancer activities and/or transcription factor binding activities. Using the chromosome conformation capture methodology, long-range looping interactions of these elements with the promoter region shared by FOXE1 and PTCSC2 in a human papillary thyroid carcinoma cell line (KTC-1) and unaffected thyroid tissue were found. Our results suggest that multiple variants coinherited with the lead SNP and located in long-range enhancers are involved in the transcriptional regulation of FOXE1 and PTCSC2 expression. These results explain the mechanism by which the risk allele of rs965513 predisposes to thyroid cancer.

Cancer stem cells (CSCs) with enhanced tumorigenicity and chemoresistance are believed to be responsible for treatment failure and tumor relapse in ovarian cancer patients. However, it is still unclear how CSCs survive DNA-damaging agent treatment. Here, we report an elevated expression of DNA polymerase (Pol ) in ovarian CSCs isolated from both ovarian cancer cell lines and primary tumors, indicating that CSCs may have intrinsically enhanced translesion DNA synthesis (TLS). Down-regulation of Pol blocked cisplatin-induced CSC enrichment both in vitro and in vivo through the enhancement of cisplatin-induced apoptosis in CSCs, indicating that Pol -mediated TLS contributes to the survival of CSCs upon cisplatin treatment. Furthermore, our data demonstrated a depletion of miR-93 in ovarian CSCs. Enforced expression of miR-93 in ovarian CSCs reduced Pol expression and increased their sensitivity to cisplatin. Taken together, our data suggest that ovarian CSCs have intrinsically enhanced Pol -mediated TLS, allowing CSCs to survive cisplatin treatment, leading to tumor relapse. Targeting Pol , probably through enhancement of miR-93 expression, might be exploited as a strategy to increase the efficacy of cisplatin treatment.

We live in a super connected world. Facebook, emails, instagram, photos and videos…. these are all things we do with our phones every day… oh and taking calls too. Ten years ago traveling was something you could do to get away from it all, but now travelers are more connected then ever before. After all, social media is more fun when you are out having new and exciting experiences!
When we were road tripping through Europe I used my phone to update 5 different social media networks, check emails, take photos and video AND use as a GPS sometimes for hours at a time. And yeah….. my battery would drain pretty quickly.
When we were road tripping I at least could plug my phone into the car charger to give it a boost, but when we were traveling by bus or train I didn't have that luxury.
And that's why I LOVE this new product from Logitech. They call it case + energy and there's a good reason for it. The case actually charges your phone! The case + energy comes with a detachable energy pack which when in use can boost your battery up to 150%. That's just insane.
It's not all about the energy though. The case itself is really stream lined and stylish – not bulky like some other case chargers I have seen before. The slim metal plated case gives your phone loads of protection as well as style.
iPhones have a reputation for not having the best battery life, so a case that charges your phone is really a must for those times when you are really relying on your phone… like when you are trudging through a new city with a 20 kg pack on your back, using your phone as a GPS to locate your hotel….
So…. want one? We have three to give away! All you have to do is follow us on social media or answer a simple question in the comments. You can chose how you enter and how many times you want to enter. If you already follow us on social media, just click through the button for a free entry.

In the fashion industry, innovation is on display every year – on the catwalks of New York and the clothing racks of your local boutique. Canopy shares that spirit of creative innovation. We know beautiful things happen when you don't cling to last year's ideas and get creative.
Canopy already has successful collaborations with leading clothing brands and designers to help protect the world's endangered forests and the animals that call them home. We are working together to ensure that any fabrics made from tree fiber, such as rayon/viscose, lyocell or other trademarked cellulosic fabrics from endangered forests, don't make it into next season's designs. These early champions have:
- Developed sourcing policies to protect endangered forests,
- Are tracking where their fabrics originate,
- Are eliminating fiber and fabrics from forest hotspots globally, and
- Are supporting the development of fiber and fabric solutions.
Designers and clothing brands can be a driving force in reducing impacts on endangered forests and catalyzing lasting protection for the planet's rare ancient forest ecosystems.
Be part of the solution:
- Develop a policy to protect endangered forests
- Sign the CanopyStyle Pledge to join the campaign
- Donate to support CanopyStyle green the wardrobes of the world
Canopy has successfully worked to green the purchasing practices of more than 750 large printers, publishers and leading brands – from policy development, through implementation and driving supply chain innovation.
We can help you make a difference.
We know it can be done
Canopy is the organization behind the greening of the Harry Potter book series – the final book was printed on eco-friendly paper in 24 countries.
Canopy has championed straw-based papers with leading authors Alice Munro, Margaret Atwood and Yann Martel all printing special edition books on straw-based paper.
More than 440 ecopapers have been developed to meet the environmental demand of leading publishers and printers who developed policies with Canopy.
Greening the clothing supply chain is an ambitious endeavor. From our experience with publishers and printers and their supply chains, we look forward to brokering tangible solutions over the coming years.

Unanswered: dyn. DB View content
I need some assistance from you all to get this issue solved.
I have a table "ASSET_DATA" which contains a lot of devices with up to 10 attributes.
CINAME, Attr1, Attr2, ... Attr10
A secondary tool has to build a map on these assets. the map layout is based on 3 levels. Each of these 10 attributes can be on of these levels.
So I created a second table "LEVEL_SETUP"
Attr1, =, 'DE', Attr4, Attr5, Att7
Attr4, like, '1stL_%', Attr8, Attr,9 Attr10
I would like to fill the DB View fileds LEVEL1, LEVEL2, LEVEL3 dynamicly if the assets matches one of the criterias defined in "LEVEL_SETUP". If no match, da default level setup is choosen "Attr1, Attr2, Attr3".
I did some research but I am confused in the possibilities SQL provides.
E.g. is it required to build a sep. table which has per asset the levels which have to be used. Is there a possibility to fill the view dynamicly ...
Thanks for you help and sharing your best pratices with me.

I am confused regarding about what you have & what you desire.You can lead some folks to knowledge, but you can not make them think.
The average person thinks he's above average!
For most folks, they don't know, what they don't know.
Good judgement comes from experience. Experience comes from bad judgement.

Andy and Colin are joined by Traditionalist Youth Network's Matt Parrott to trawl through the choppy waters of global geopolitics in the wake of the Ukraine's remarkable revolution, one that was chiefly driven by forces from the right.
Up for discussion are Alexander Dugin's views that the Ukrainian nationalists who played a leading part, are merely "nazis" in a "Quentin Tarantino style circus" playing a proxy role for the West. Also considered is the prospect of the Ukraine breaking up, Putin's mindset, and whether America and Russia play symbiotically opposite roles.
