By training, Prishvin was a specialist in agronomy. His interests, however, were much broader, encompassing ethnography, folklore, linguistics, and ornithology, all of which benefited from his many travels. His first published work was a collection of stories, In the Land of Unfrightened Birds (1907). Its emphasis on nature is characteristic of much of Prishvin's later prose. Prishvin is distinguished by his rich, colorful language. In this, as well as in his injection of ethnographic concerns into literature, he was close to his contemporary Remizov and part of the neorealist strain in early twentieth-century prose.

Japan Post outdid themselves with this package. He was shipped on March 6th and is in my hands TWO days later (the 8th)! I'm baffled that Amiami graded him B/B, because he honestly appears as if he was never opened at all. I'm certainly not complaining, though! Very happy to add him to my collection at last. Now to keep an eye out for his Champion version!


text: Names Ryan, been lurking for a little while now and I really enjoy this site so far. Not much to say about me... Love my guns, my wife, and my freedoms/rights (thank you troops). You won't find me starting trouble as I am pretty laid back. Anyways I look forward to wheeling, dealing, and good convo... thanks for having me.

My fiance and i checked in a little after midnight this past friday and as soon as we stepped in, we felt the warmth and comfort of the place from the very friendly front desk person and the atmosphere of the place. The rooms were clean, the beds were comfortable and the shower and toilet were in seperate rooms, which is very convenient. There was a nice flat screen tv along with a fridge and microwave in the room. There was also a nice sized couch and desk that was blocked from the bed. This can give you privacy if you need to conduct business. In the morning there was a breakfast buffet that offered eggs, turkey sausage, waffles and a selection of different cereals and yogurts. The design and furniture inside reminds me of an ikea showroom, it only adds to the allure of the place. There is a small exercise room and a pool inside. Overall i recommend this hotel to everyone. The downside to the place is that its a 10-15 minute drive to the nearest 7 eleven and they are redoing the streets , so the gps may not be accurate, apart from that everything was great!!

Hunter Is Home & Would Love Some Cards! UPDATE!
I am requesting cards for Hunter Rozier, a 17-year-old high school junior recovering from a very serious car accident. On April 2nd, he hit a tree on his way to work leaving him with a fractured skull, a broken scapula, a broken jaw, a fractured rib and a partially collapsed lung. Hunter is a home-schooled Christian young man who loves to learn and loves baseball.
If anyone would like to encourage Hunter and his family by sending a card, this is his address:
Hunter Rozier
199 Goshen Road
Cumberland, VA 23040
Hunter's family is requesting prayers for his complete recovery. This is his Caringbridge site:
CaringBridge / Hunter Rozier / Journal
APRIL 20TH - HE'S HOME! - The discharge plans are finalized and Hunter will be home on Friday afternoon. Praise God for what He has accomplished! God has been Hunters strength and help, and God has upheld him with his right hand (Isaiah 41:10). He has done the same thing for the rest of our family. It has been a three week period like no other in our lives, and we thank God that He has met us and provided faith at each stage. There are many steps that still need to be taken, but there is something special about being able to have your son at home and able to sleep in a regular bed (no more tubes, no more restraints, no more neck braces, no more vital sign checks throughout the night, no more heavy medications, and the list could go on). We have to pinch ourselves. This is really happening!
The last two days have remained busy with therapy, but now we also been busy having meetings and planning for the transition home. On Wednesday, we met with most all of the doctors and therapists involved with Hunters care. Hunter is able to do so many things that will be needed for him to function at home so that is an amazing blessing. He is able to walk and has been cleared to use our stairs with direct supervision. He is able to perform all the main activities of daily living such as dressing, eating, etc. that we all take for granted. On Thursday, he actually baked cookies in the Occupational Therapy kitchen. The speech therapist told us on Thursday that Hunter is functioning well on the assessments they gave him with his scores being indicative of the functioning level of a person who is 16 years and 5 months old. Hunter is 17 years and three months old. This is remarkable for the time period after his injury. The speech therapist says that he has most of the functioning he had before, but it has been depressed by the accident. With time, she believes it will all come back. She made the statement that it is likely that in two years we wont be able to tell he even had this accident. We would be grateful for that, but God seems to be working on an even faster time line. Whatever the time line, we believe that Hunter will be completely healed.
That being said, Hunter still does have memory and sight challenges from the brain injury, and he will still receive physical therapy, occupational therapy, and speech therapy on an outpatient basis.
We thank you all for your tireless prayers and petitions to our heavenly Father, and for the unity of love and purpose for the healing of our son.
The above CaringBridge post by Hunter's family really says it all. If anyone would like to send a card to Hunter while he continues his therapy, I know he would really appreciate it.
Thank you!
Bumping for Hunter!
Please consider sending Hunter a card to encourage him in his recovery.
Thank you!
Rita I would love to send him a card but I'm at a loss as to what to send. I don't have any stamps for a teenager. Any suggestions?
Thank you!
Thank you so much, Mary!
Blessings .... Rita
I will send Hunter out a card today!
Many Thanks!
~ Rita
Bumping for Hunter .... Please see the original post to learn how well Hunter is progressing. I know it would brighten his day to receive some happy mail!
~ Rita
Many apologies Rita, but I FINALLY got a card made and put it the post office box in the morning.
Mary .... thank you so much!
~ Rita
Are cards still needed?

Caye Caulker is Belize's most welcoming island for the independent traveler and a long-time favorite for visitors seeking tropical beauty in a relaxing setting. Originally a fishing village known for its bounty of spiny lobsters, the island has seen tourism gradually emerge as the primary industry. Although Caye Caulker now boasts a full range of restaurants, shops, and tourist activities, the temperament of the island remains friendly and easy-going.
Maybe Caye Caulker's outlook has something to do with the idyllic weather, cooled by a steady sea breeze. Or maybe it's the island's well-preserved serenity. To this day, there are no paved streets, no parking lots, and virtually no cars. You'll be able to walk barefoot just about any place you'd like to visit.
Our Tropical Island Escape allows you to maximize your time on Caye Caulker to fully enjoy this island paradise. Your tour begins at the Belize Tourism Village, the site at which all cruise ship tenders drop off their passengers. A few steps from your tender, you will meet our team and prepare to board one of our snorkel boats for the scenic ride to Caye Caulker.

Pulp gave the world the song "Bad Cover Version." But seeing as I'm a sonic optimist, I'm of the belief that there's more likely than not more good cover versions floating around than bad ones. Good Cover Version celebrates the good, and leaves all that bad and ugly stuff alone.
I must say, the more I listen to Mu's cover of "Running Up That Hill," the more I like it. The Canadian duo has given Madame Bush a frosty, synthy treatment, all the while keeping the fierce, feline ferocity of the original. The electro twist offers an unexpectedly awesome new lens with which to experience this truly classic song.

All authors, myself included, spend hours choosing just the right words. My Thesaurus and my dictionary are within easy reach of my computer and believe me, I'm constantly pulling one or the other of them out and looking for a definition or a synonym for a word. I've even been known to read the dictionary for enjoyment–seriously, there are so many words out there that I've never heard and probably will never use but I like knowing them.
Anyway, I've been seeing a lot of blogs this past week about the proper word to define an author who isn't yet published. Apparently, some writers object to the term "unpublished" and want people to start referring to them as "pre-published" instead.
Hmm…all I can say is I see nothing wrong with unpublished if that's where you are in your writing career. It's a simple statement of fact and I don't think it needs to be prettied up. Pre-published, to me, sounds pretentious and just a little defensive, but if that's how you want to describe yourself, fine, have at it.
I always liked "aspiring author" myself. Seems to me the important thing isn't whether you're pre-published, unpublished, waiting-to-be-published, unpublished-with-high-hopes-of-being-published, on-the-brink-of-being-published… or whatever–there's that word again!–as long as you're writing and doing your best to get your work out there.
What's in a word? (Part 1) can be found on my Cait-Tales blog.

Today we're going to have a look at an outstanding and particularly hardcore platformer called Bloody Trapland by developer 2Play Studios. This game has actually already been Greenlit by the community and for good reason, there's a lot to like here if you're a fan of games like Super Meat Boy, however, those with a low patience threshold need not apply. Featuring online and local co-op, I think there's going to be a lot of fun to be had here! Try it out yourself with a free demo on Desura if you want to get a feel for it before you pick up a copy.

One of the things that attracted us most strongly to this beautiful farm was the size of the farmhouse. It has seven bedrooms and three full bathrooms. We knew that it would provide space for the beginning of our hospitality ministry – primarily to children in need, as well as to guests and volunteers.
As yet, four of the bedrooms are partially finished, and three are still in the state we found them when we bought the house, which is to say that they are in need of total renovation. Two of the bathrooms are very nearly finished and the third has not yet been touched.
The Project::
This summer and autumn, we will need to begin constructing built-in bunk beds in each of three partially finished bedrooms and to install shelves and hanging bars in the closets for clothing storage. Floors need to be finished, and trim installed around baseboards and windows to help snug up the house and reduce our heating bills.
In order to make space for the two newest members of the Gadbois family, adopted from Bulgaria, we will need to begin the process of finishing the third floor bedrooms and bathroom. These will provide space for the Gadbois family's adult children who currently still live on the farm and help with the ministry. It should also provide an extra bedroom for guests and/or volunteers.
Walls have already been mostly demolished. Storage items will need to be removed to our storage rental. Insulation and new windows must be installed, as well as a new section of the heating system to service the upper floor. Plumbing has been roughed into the bathroom, and electric is stumped. The finish plumbing for the bathroom and electric to all rooms will need to be done as well as board, plaster, trim, and painting.
The Need::
- Muscle and know-how
- Board and plaster
- Insulation
- Electrician and plumber

These gluten-free, fudge-like brownies have a thin layer of delicate mint running through them . . . in the form of an After Eight Mint! Where have I been?
Well, it's five weeks today that my dad's been in the hospital. What should have been one week is now five, and it'll still be another few.
This was elective heart surgery that was going to give my dad a "new lease on life." His shortness of breath was going to be gone, and he'd be able to hike in his beloved Santa Monica Mountains again.
Ironically, his heart is doing great. It's the numerous complications that have been keeping him there. In the last couple of days though, it seems like things are finally beginning to turn around. Phew.
He's very weak, and his spirits are quite low. I'm working on turning that around, too.
My mom, who has her own set of health issues, isn't able to visit him, so it's the longest time in their fifty-two year marriage that they've been apart. It's both heartbreaking and lovely to see how much they miss each other.
I believe my dad will be back home with my mom soon, and a while after, I'm hoping he'll climbing those mountains again. In the meantime, there's not much like the comfort of chocolate, so I made brownies.
Not just ordinary brownies, either! Have you ever had an After Eight, Mint Chocolate Thin? They're quite special. Growing up, my friend Aimée's family always seemed to have these around the house — and I always seemed to be eating them!
These individually wrapped candies are a creamy mint fondant inside a crisp, delicate, dark chocolate coating.
Of course they're delectable on their own, but I thought it might be nice to have a thin layer of them in a brownie. So I made it happen.
You should too!
- 1 cup plus 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
- 4 large eggs
- 2 cups granulated sugar
- 1 tablespoon pure vanilla extract
- ¾ teaspoon sea salt
- 1 cup gluten-free all-purpose flour
- 1¼ cup unsweetened cocoa powder, sifted
- approximately 32 After Eight Mint Chocolate Thins (about 1¼ boxes)
- Preheat the oven to 325 degrees F and adjust a rack to the center.
- Melt the butter and set it aside to cool. Use the butter wrappers to grease the bottom and sides of a 9 x 13 x 2-inch baking dish. Set aside.
- In a large mixing bowl, whisk the eggs with the sugar, vanilla and salt until it's light in color and thick, about 2 minutes. (Use an electric mixer if possible.) Fold in the cooled, melted butter.
- In another bowl, mix the gluten-free flour with the sifted cocoa powder. Now fold this into the wet ingredients and mix until you no longer see dry spots and it's smooth.
- Add about half of the batter into the prepared baking dish and smooth it out with an offset spatula. Add one even layer of the After Eight Mint Chocolates directly on top of the batter. There should be no spaces between them, and you can cut some of them to fit into the corners snugly.
- Spread the remaining half of the batter on top of the candies evenly, and place the baking dish in the oven just until the batter is cooked all the way through and is set, about 40 minutes.
- Let the brownies cool in the pan for at least 45 minutes and then slice them into 2 dozen evenly sized pieces.
While I wish I could tell you Nestle sponsored this post, I'm just singing the praises of their oh-so-delicious After Eight Chocolate Mints because I love them. 🙂

Penguins-Avalanche Preview
Dealing with a slew of injuries hasn't slowed the Pittsburgh Penguins this season. Also not getting in their way are road games against Western Conference teams.
The undermanned Penguins look to make it five straight wins overall and continue an impressive run against the opposite conference Saturday night when they face the Colorado Avalanche.
Despite playing without superstar captain Sidney Crosby for most of this season, Pittsburgh (37-21-5) has remained among the league's best teams. Currently fourth in the conference, the Penguins may not be able to catch the East-leading New York Rangers, but they are closing in on a sixth straight playoff berth.
Pittsburgh overcame injuries to top defenseman Kris Letang (upper body) and forward Steve Sullivan (lower body) and continued its strong play with a 4-3 shootout win at Dallas on Wednesday. James Neal, Chris Kunitz and Pascal Dupuis converted in the shootout for the Penguins, who have outscored opponents 18-6 during their four-game win streak.
''It was back and forth,'' Penguins center Jordan Staal said. ''It felt a lot like playoff hockey - very tough, lots of hitting.''
Wednesday's win improved Pittsburgh to 10-0-3 on the road against Western Conference teams since a 3-2 loss at Anaheim on Nov. 5, 2010.
Letang, the team leader among defensemen with 31 points, is still experiencing what coach Dan Bylsma calls "symptoms" after taking a hit from Stars forward Eric Nystrom in the first period. Letang remains with the team and will be reevaluated after returning to Pittsburgh.
"He's got symptoms. Not dramatic at this point, but certainly going to get home and get evaluated by our doctors," Bylsma told the team's official website.
Sullivan, who has two goals and seven assists in his last six games, sat out the last two practices, but hasn't been ruled out for Saturday.
League scoring leader Evgeni Malkin extended his latest point streak to six games with an assist against Dallas. Malkin has five goals and five assists during that run.
While Malkin is a likely Hart Trophy candidate, goaltender Marc-Andre Fleury has also been a huge part of Pittsburgh's success. He's 14-2-1 with a 2.46 goals-against average in his last 17 starts and ranks second in the NHL with 33 wins. Fleury is 4-0-0 with a 2.22 GAA in his past four starts against Colorado.
Points are at a much higher premium for the Avalanche (33-28-4), who are on the outside of the playoff picture in the West.
A home matchup with league-worst Columbus on Thursday appeared to be a golden opportunity for Colorado to stretch its win streak to five, but the team failed to get any of its 33 shots past Steve Mason in a 2-0 loss. That was a particularly surprising result after the Avalanche went 7-3-2 in February - the franchise's best mark in the month since 2002-03.
''We had a nice string of wins together but tonight, for whatever reason, our execution wasn't sharp, especially at the start of the game,'' coach Joe Sacco said.
Steve Downie, acquired from Tampa Bay on Feb. 21, has two goals and five assists in five games with his new team. Gabriel Landeskog had a six-game point streak snapped in the shutout after he was named the NHL's Rookie of the Month for February.
Colorado, however, needs more from its best players. Captain Milan Hejduk has one goal in 14 games, Paul Stastny has three in his last 17 and Matt Duchene one in six games after missing 20 with a knee injury.

Maine (NEWS CENTER) Democrats and even Republicans are calling for attorney general Jeff Sessions to step down due to ties with Russia during President Trump's election.
The Justice Department has confirmed Sessions talked twice with Russia's ambassador to the United States during the presidential campaign, a seeming contradiction to sworn statements he gave to Congress.
As attorney general, Sessions oversees the f-b-i investigation of alleged ties between Russia and the president.
Both Republicans and Democrats are calling for him to either step down or recuse himself from the official investigation. A white house spokeswoman says Sessions meetings with Russian's ambassador were in AN official capacity and entirely consistent with his testimony.

About CompTIA foundation
In 1982 a non-profit trade association, The Computing Technology Industry Association (CompTIA), was created as as the Association of Better Computer Dealers, Inc. (ABCD) by representatives of five microcomputer dealerships. Over the course of a decade, ABCD laid the groundwork for many of CompTIA's initiatives and member benefits.
Later ABCD changed its name to the Computing Technology Industry Association to reflect the association's evolving role in the computer industry.
In 1990s the association broadened the scope of its activities to address the needs of the expanding computer industry.
CompTIA is a provider of professional certifications for the information technology (IT) industry.
Headquartered outside of Chicago, CompTIA have offices across the United States and in Australia, Canada, China, Germany, India, Japan, South Africa and the United Kingdom.
CompTIA in computer hardware and networking certificate
CompTIA is the leading provider of vendor-neutral certifications in the world. CompTIA offer 17 certification exams in PC support, networking, servers, convergence, training, Linux, security, IT sales, green IT and so on. CompTIA has been delivering certification exams for more than 15 years and is committed to continually improving the service they provide to the industry.
Thousands of companies depend on CompTIA standards to provide a reliable predictor of employee success. Additionally, dozens of companies with their own certification programs rely on CompTIA exams to provide an industry standard for foundation-level skills sets as prerequisites or electives in their certification programs.
In addition to professional certifications, CompTIA supports and leads the global IT industry through education, advocacy and philanthropy initiatives.
In January 2010 these ANSI/ISO approved certifications fundamentally had their conditions changed from lifetime certifications to certifications that will expire every three years. Current certificate holders will still have valid certs for life, but any new certifications earned after December 31, 2010 will expire every three years.

The hypothesis given by previously mentioned authors has been based on the assumption that the protons and electrons in certain conditions are capable to penetrate the Earth's atmosphere, reach the surface and in the contact with biomass cause the initial phase of fire. The satellite measuring of the flow of protons and electrons focuses the attention of researchers on the effects of their sudden influx. Namely, in such situations the question is when and where fires can be expected, that is, whether the absorption of particles will occur in the concrete case by increased air humidity and/or clouds or there are indications that they will be able to penetrate the ground (Radovanović, Stevančević & Štrbac, 2003; Radovanović, Lukić & Todorović, 2005, Radovanović, Milovanović & Gomes, 2009; Radovanović, 2010). Gomes et al. (2009) gave the theoretical model in which it has been explained how it comes to the propagation of particles towards the topographic surface.
Large number of fires was spreading from Italy over the Balkans, Hungary, Romania, Ukraine, Slovakia and Poland on March 26th 2003 (http://earthobservatory.nasa.gov/NaturalHazards/natural_hazards_v2.php3?img_id=8620)

The archive contains daily SIT Reports for the period May to October, which was used for the research. Period November to April was not taken into consideration because of the rare occurrence of fires in that period.
According to this source significant fires are those that exceed:
For X1, X2, X3, X4, X5, X6: http://www.swpc.noaa.gov/ftpmenu/warehouse.html
The presence of large databases and lack of linear relationships between input and output fields are the basis for the application of Data Mining methods. Classical math methods also didn't allow us to get answer about time lag between solar activity and the onset of forest fires. Therefore optimal in this case, as a previous analysis has shown, is to use the ANFIS (Adaptive neuro fuzzy inference system) models (Jang et al. 1997, Abraham 2005). For this task two training sets in the form of corteges were created:
where t – training set row index, L – lag, – normalized components of
Xi time series ( ), where – max and min
value of Xi.
Necessity of normalization of the input parameters values is caused by significant difference between the absolute values of the component input vectors that go somewhere 1011. Computer calculation without normalization can create big round mistakes. In this case it completely neutralizes the objectivity of the model (Amini et al. 2010; Soltani et al. 2010; Tan et al. 2011; Güneri et al. 2011; Bektas Ekici & Aksoy 2011; Talebizadeh & Moridnejad 2011; Mohandes et al. 2011; Yilmaz & Kaynar 2011; Özger 2011; Kurtulus & Flipo 2012; Shiri et al. 2013).
For determination of lag between the events 6 ANFIS models for small forest fires for ( ) were created. All input parameters were presented as linguistic variables. Each of them was identified by using 3 Gauss terms. Sugeno function of zero order was selected as a method of output fuzzy system. As a result of neural network training, productive knowledge bases that contained 6561 fuzzy rules for 24 linguistic variables terms were obtained.
Correlation analysis between time series and was provided for determination of time lag between the onset of forest fires and solar activity (Figure 1).
Figure 1: Dependence of correlation coefficient and on lag L
As it can be seen from the Figure 1, there is the sharp peak for lag 1. It means there is nearly 1 day and night delay from the solar activity and forest fires caused by it. Determination of this delay allowed us to create the analogue ANFIS model for large fires for one day lag and to prepare a sensitivity analysis for them.
RESULTS AND DISCUSSION on lag L
The investigation, mentioned above, was conducted on the basis of sun activity data during summer period 2004-2007 years. However spring and autumn months aren't informative as for the forest fires activity. Therefore the next step of investigation was to construct the analogue models for the summer months. But in this case the numbers of empirical parameters of models are less than capacity of training set. This makes it impossible to build the models. To solve this task the input factors were divided into 2 classes: high-energy elementary particles (X1-X5) and solar wind (X6-X8). As a result 4 ANFIS models for lag 1 were built:
Model (3) consists of 5 input linguistic variables that are described by three Gauss terms. Knowledge database consists of 243 production rules. Respectively, model (4) consists of 3 linguistic variables and 27 production rules.
Figure 2: The comparison of modeling results for a number of small (a) and large forest fires (b) with real data
The analysis of peaks in the Figure 2 gives us the possibility to make very interesting conclusions. In particular it is seen that the larger part of the real forest fires can be explained only by models (4) (85% of fires). The models (3) can explain only 65% of real fires. Taking into consideration the data of both models, enables to predict the 89% of little and 86% of large fires. These results are very similar to previous model. The sensitivity analysis has shown that the number of fires is basically dependent on (X1-X5) factors (Figure 4), but the results of model (3) are worse than such results of model (4). It means these input parameters are dependent on (X6-X8). Besides, it also is clearly visible from Figure 2 that in many cases models (3) and (4) can explain different peaks on the graph of real fires. Thus, fires may be caused either by factors or by their complex action.
Therefore, in case of insufficient data, it is efficient to construct (3) and (4) models which together may predict the major number of fires. Otherwise, it is reasonable to construct the complex models based on math expressions.
Next sensitivity analyses allowed establishing the following dependences (Figure 3a). In case of little fires for model (3) the most sensitive factor is X1. If this factor grows, the number of fires increases sharply too. X2 is the second most sensitive factor. The maximum growth of a number of fires is observed when X2 has its value between 0.2 and 0.8.
Figure 3: The sensitivity of small (a), (c) and large (b), (d) forest fires on Xi factors. (a), (b) – model (3); (c), (d) – model (4)
Absolutely different situation is observed for large fires (Figure 3b). The main factor of its growth is X3 factor. The number of large fires exponentially depends on this parameter.
The analogous analysis of model (4) for little fires allows establishing that fires are mainly dependent on X8 factor (Figure 3c). Its impact is almost similar as in absolute value as in the form of dependence to X1 factor of model (3). It should be noted that increase of X7 factor, on contrary, leads to a sharp decrease of a number of fires.
Absolutely different situation is observed for large fires in model (4) (Figure 3d). As sensitivity analyses showed, the decrease of solar activity leads to increase of a number of fires. On the other side, the absolute values of model are smaller than in Figure 3b. It means that model (4) for large fires isn't adequate. This confirms the conclusions of the previous analysis.
CONCLUSION (Figure 3b). The main factor of its growth is
The presence of nonlinear relationships between the onset of the forest fires and the solar activity has been proved. It gives the possibility to use nonlinear methods of Soft Computing for discovery and analysis of functional dependences between them.
It has been proved that between the solar activity and forest fires onsets there are the lags that consist of 24 hours. It gives the possibility to make the prognostication and the decision about prevention of this crisis situation.
The developed ANFIS models allowed predicting up to 90% of forest fires origins. These confirmed the accuracy of these models.
It has been established that the solar activity only in the thin energy range can lead to sharp increase of forest fires unlike the classical solar activity of wide energy spectrum.
It has been shown that in case of insufficient number of statistic data the creation of 2-classes of models with high energy elementary solar activity or sun wind data as input parameters are reasonable. They allow predicting up to 89% of little and 86% of large forest fires. It has been proved that these models can explain the different types of fires. The separate use of each of them can explain no more than 85% of little and 65% of large forest fires.

Tougher to get in than Harvard: The $100M Texas hospital where everyone wants to work
At first glance, it seems like a classic David-and-Goliath battle playing out in the Dallas-Fort Worth healthcare arena. In one corner is 100-bed Walnut Hill Medical Center, a new for-profit hospital that opened in April; and literally across the street is 900-bed Texas Health Presbyterian Hospital Dallas.
Except that Walnut Hill is only one of numerous small hospitals opening in the highly competitive North Texas region over the past several years; and Presbyterian is only one of several nearby hospitals.
"It is a very competitive market. We probably have at least seven hospitals within seven miles of us," Cory Countryman, Walnut Hill's CEO, told Healthcare Dive. That includes small physician-owned hospitals, big not-for-profits, and flagship hospitals for Hospital Corp. of America (HCA) and Forest Park Medical Center in Dallas.
By all accounts, North Texas has an entrepreneurial healthcare market that is in the midst of significant bricks-and-mortar construction alongside provider/payer efforts to create value-driven delivery models.
Yet Countryman said he is confident Walnut Hill will find a niche in the crowded field by offering "a fantastic patient experience, a fantastic physician experience, and a great place for people to work." Customer-first strategies from major companies are being used to try to make it happen: including Starbucks' relaxing ambiance, Apple's upfront use of customers' names, and Ritz Carleton's "15-5" rule in which staff smile at customers from 15 feet away and greet them at five feet.
There are many potential customers. Of Texas's 28 million residents, about seven million live within about a 30-mile radius of Dallas, said Steve Love, the Dallas-Fort Worth Hospital Council's president and CEO. This North Texas region "grows the city of Atlanta every five years," he said.
Population growth and a booming economy have led health systems in the area to add five to seven hospitals in the past five years or so—"what I'd call normal, organic growth given the demographic change," Love told Healthcare Dive. On top of that, he estimates "easily four, five or six" physician-owned hospitals have sprung up in the region in the past several years.
Initially, Walnut Hill was going to be a cardiology hospital, but it was accredited recently by the Joint Commission as a full-service hospital with a 16-bed intensive-care unit and a 10-bed emergency department, Countryman said. "We passed with flying colors on our first try," he said.
Most DFW hospital council members are "more traditional" community hospitals taking Medicare and Medicaid, and running Level 1 or Level 2 trauma centers, Love said. He termed physician-owned and -led hospitals as "more niche players, in my opinion, targeting certain types of surgery." Walnut Hill is "more of a niche player. I know they're full-service, but they seem to do a lot of cardiac," he said.
Texas is not a certificate-of-need state
Texas Hospital Association spokesman Lance Lunsford describes the state as "extremely healthy terms of economics, but you've got an unhealthy state in terms of physical health and well being...and one-quarter of the population doesn't have [health] insurance." Moreover, Texas is not a Medicaid expansion state; its Medicaid program limits coverage to children, pregnant women and disabled adults—and more than 1 million Texans have been thrown into a coverage gap under the Affordable Care Act.
Since Texas is not a certificate-of-need state, state regulators don't have to give their blessing before hospital projects begin. Get financial backing and it is possible to build new facilities—or expand with major capital improvement projects, as Parkland Health & Hospital System and others are doing.
Walnut Hill's construction took about one-and-a-half years, with a hefty price tag. "Between bricks and mortar, supplies and equipment, you could say it's a $100-million hospital," Countryman said.
But, he said, "As long as we take care of the patient the right way, the finances will fall in line."
Walnut Hill expects to become profitable within five years, he said, though there could be reasons for a longer wait. "You can take money and put it back in the hospital and that delays profitability," he said.
As for payer mix, the new hospital is taking Medicare and Medicaid, and it has "either contracted with or is about to sign with every [commercial] payer in the Dallas-Forth Worth metroplex," Countryman said. He anticipates that all major contracts will be in place by August, asserting that insurers are inclined to contract with Walnut Hill because of its "experienced, high-end" physicians. Walnut Hill also is starting the process of direct contracting with employers, he said.
"We take everybody except for OB patients. We don't deliver babies"—although in one recent case the hospital had to make an exception, he added.
Many factors make Walnut Hill unique, including the fact that it isn't owned by, or affiliated with, another hospital or health system, Countryman said. "It allows us to create our own culture [without] going through a big corporate office," he said.
Cardiologists came up with the idea and helped to design a building full of natural light with a healing environment, advanced technology for physicians and numerous amenities for patients and their families, he said. Included are valet parking, all private rooms, valet parking, free Wi-Fi and no visiting-hour restrictions. Operating rooms on the cardiology floor are audio-visual wired; Walnut Hill is slated to be one of several hospitals streaming live cases to a vascular medicine conference this fall.
Countryman said Walnut Hill's physicians work as part of the new hospital's management in a highly collaborative process: Administrators, physicians and staff talk regularly about patient care and the hospital environment. "We run everything past [the physicians]...to make sure we're all on the same page," he said. Yet physicians don't own Walnut Hill; non-physician investors based in Texas own it.
Tougher than getting into Harvard
"We had over 7,000 applications for people wanting to work here. It's tougher than getting into Harvard University," Countryman said. Currently, Walnut Hill has 350 physicians credentialed; and 201 staff members, including nurses and administrative staff.
Of Walnut Hill's credentialed physicians, 35 to 40 are cardiologists performing cutting-edge procedures and exploring relationships with national corporations and organizations, he said. A year ago, former president George W. Bush's heart surgery to clear arterial blockage was performed by Dr. Tony Das, an interventional cardiologist who is one of Walnut Hill founders, a board member and a physician leader. "He did it across the street [at Presbyterian] because we weren't open yet," Countryman said.
Walnut Hill is "taking baby steps," Countryman said. "We opened the first week of April, and we're just now inviting ambulances to come to the hospital," he said July 29. "We want to make sure we're doing everything right....We had our first open-heart surgery last week and it went very well."
North Texas's entrepreneurial market
"There are five major metropolitan areas in Texas and this [Dallas-Fort Worth] is probably the most entrepreneurial," healthcare economist John McCracken, Ph.D. told Healthcare Dive. In addition to community hospitals, he cited numerous physician-owned hospitals, retail and urgent-care clinics and freestanding specialty surgery centers, and strong growth among physician groups—with specialists dominating the market and driving hospital admissions in the area.
"So it's very entrepreneurial, specialist-driven, and financing is available for growth. It's possible we're growing beyond our needs...but there's a lot of experimentation," said McCracken, clinical professor of healthcare management at the University of Texas at Dallas.
New entrants, such as Walnut Hill, are trying to carve out a portion of the healthcare business, he said, and dominant systems are seeing some of their more profitable markets being taken over. Citing Walnut Hill's listed specialties—including cardiology, imaging, orthopedics and rehabilitation, he said: "They've chosen not to handle the unprofitable services. It's a carve-out of profitable services."
Big healthcare systems "are trying to lock up primary care physicians...and smaller facilities like Walnut Hill are trying to capture patients," McCracken said. "Who's going to be right? The jury is still out on that....I think it will be a decade or more before the market stabilizes" with team-based care organized around patient populations and disease states. He said Walnut Hill will keep watch on developments and align with the "winners"—physicians if they are in charge or health systems if they are leading the ventures.

Teemo Build Guide by Mr. Bigglesworth
Not Updated For Current Season

Teemo Build
Ability Sequence
Not Updated For Current Season
The masteries shown here are not yet updated for the current season, the guide author needs to set up the new masteries. As such, they will be different than the masteries you see in-game.
Spoiler: This guide is not going to be super in-depth or anything. I'll cover a few basics about Teemo, but he's an easy enough champion to get the hang of that I'm going to focus primarily on the build I use.
Second spoiler: This is the best Teemo build ever designed by a mortal man and is therefore immaculate and must not be altered on pain of death... JK! In fact, if anyone reading this (all two of you *sigh*) has some bomb-a55 ideas they want to share, please do. While this is the best combo of items and runes that I have personally found useful, I am all ears if any dudes have suggestions.
Third and Final spoiler: I almost always play bottom lane Teemo, so I have little to no experience with this build while playing solo mid or top. That being said, I cannot be held responsible if your Teemo gets butt-raped when you use this build while solo laning.
With these things in mind, read on friends!
Greater Glyph of Scaling Ability Power: If you're like me, your pvp games on LoL last an average of two days each, so you'll be reaching level 18 one way or another. This makes these Glyphs ultimately more useful in the long run than Greater Glyph of Ability Power, although I can still understand if you would prefer them, since they do give you a slight lead in AP early game.
Greater Mark of Magic Penetration: Unless if your enemies are packing some Magic Resist runes, having Magic Penetration from the get-go means you should be dealing almost true damage for the first few levels. This means it shouldn't be uncommon for your pesky Toxic Shot's poison to nom up any remaining Health on a fleeing champion you just lit up after coming out of Camoflague.
Greater Seal of Vitality: Since I have absolutely no health items in this build and Teemo can sometimes be considered squishy to a near suicidal degree, having 175 more health by level 18 can be the difference between "Still alive and poisoning *****es" and "Here lies a bloody pile of fur that once ressembled Teemo" in team fights. If you decide that having magic resist or armor would be more useful for your seals, go ahead... you can be DEAD WRONG if you want. I kid, I kid *chortle chortle laugh laugh*... or am I?
Greater Quintessence of Ability Power: Gives you a solid 15 AP to start off with, which makes me feel a little bit less nooby when I start off my items with Boots of Speed and pots instead of a Doran's Ring like all the MLG people seem to do these days.
Pretty standard 21/0/9 set-up with an emphasis towards AP. As far as the utility points go, just do whatever you feel you would benefit most from as long as you ultimately get
Runic Affinity
The reasoning for this is Teemo can be a really good jungler by level 6 once he has Noxious Trap (pop a mushroom in front of the Red Buff's walking path, Camoflague, then light him up until he reaches you. Then pop Blinding Dart and auto-attack that sona***** to oblivion).
NOTE: Don't be a furry ***** and nab every buff ever unless you first get the "KKZ" ("Okay" for you English speakers) from your teammates/jungler.
Also, make sure it's safe before you begin fighting your buff. Try to ward any brushes or paths leading to you with your Noxious Traps.
Nothing sucks more than almost nabbing that Golem only to have the opposing team's jungler catch you with your cute little shorts around your fluffy ankles. What oftentimes occurs from such unpleasant surprises will go unspoken due to its dark and sad nature.
Summoner Spells
Exhaust: Teemo's best friend. Can make an enemy burn a Flash only to die a horrible death from poison, or even give you the upper hand in a 1v1 fight with an AD Carry (NOTE: If such a fight does occur, just be ready to die with him. Cuz you hella squishy, man). You couple this spell with 5 ranks in Move Quick and you can chase down just about anyone as well.
THIS IS A MUST-HAVE ON TEEMO. The second Summoner Spell can be pretty much whatever, really. Imma stuff a few suggestions for that one down your throat anyway, cuz I'm a jerk :D
Mr. Bigglesworth's Top 4 Other Spells
Flash: When just being able to run like the dickens with Move Quick isn't enough to get you out of a pickle, blinking through a wall might be. One of the most versatile spells in your arsenal fo sho.
Teleport: This can turn Teemo into a ganking machine at later levels, because he can Teleport onto his Noxious Trap mushrooms. Super fun when it works, but because of the limited sight warding of your shrooms you can sometimes find yourself stuck in some not-so-fun situations.
Only use Teleport if you deem the occasional high-profile gank worth the risk of Teleporting into a shrubbery with a sexually-frustrated Alistar in it.
Heal: Since poor little Teemo is defensively weak against practically everything when his Move Quick and Blinding Dart are on cooldown, popping a much needed Heal here and there can boost his lane sustaining abilities vastly.
I find that, unless your foes are getting pretty darn fed, Heal isn't really too badly needed as long as you play Teemo like me: A cowardly vagina that spews as many toxins as possible at unsuspecting victims before booking it to the loving bosom of the nearest friendly turret.
Ignite: A very good offensive spell that can spell certain doom for a poisoned opponent, but I'm a bit leery towards having both my Spells geared towards attacking. If you aren't bothered by this, however, give it a shot.
I guess you could get Ghost on Teemo as well, but considering that your speed is already pretty high and Ghost won't do you any good once you're Exhausted or slowed, I would stick to Flash or Teleport.
Skill Sequence
(Q) Blinding Dart I like to put my starting point into this because it can really help out your laning partner (or yourself, if you're soloing) against any early-on problems with AD champions thanks to the blinding effect. Max this baby out by level 13, cuz it will be your main damage against champions and super-valuable in team fights.
(W) Move Quick: I don't put a point into this until level 4 because, while useful as an escape mechanism, I find it the least important of Teemo's skills. Rank it up last at 18.
(E) Toxic Shot: Teemo's bread and butter. This makes farming a breeze and laning champions wary of staying in range too long. Teemo's poison effects are powerful enough by rank 5 to straight up kill squishy competitors, and easily pick off any bulkier enemies running away with low health. I always get this to rank 5 by level 9.
(R) Noxious Trap: Poisonous, stealthed, and like a free sight ward in some ways. By far the most defensive and useful of Teemo's goodies. Make sure to spam them as much as humanly possible, and in as many bushes and important places (i.e. Dragon, Baron, Buffs, etc.) as you can!
Boots of Speed, 3 Health Potions: Great for lane control and sustaining, and makes second tier boots affordable within minutes.
Next Best Thing: Doran's Ring Gimme dat Health/AP, son!
1. Sorcerer's Shoes: That 20 Magic Penetration will give Teemo teeth early on, and almost completely negate the Magic Resist boosts of someone with Mercury's Treads.
Next Best Thing: Berserker's Greaves A decent Attack Speed modifier for early game.
2. Nashor's Tooth: Everything here is essential to a successful ninja squirrel attack. Cooldown Reduction and high Mana Regen means more Blinding Darts and Noxious Traps, while the AP means those things do more damage as well. The giant Attack Speed bonus makes sure your enemies' poison subscriptions are always to date, while that AP makes sure it stings more. Great item that is practically required on Teemo.
Next Best Thing: NONE. U HEAR ME?! NONE!!! O.o
3. Malady: Ability Power and Attack Speed is always welcome on my Teemo (did you not see the title of this guide?), but those things aren't the main appeal of Malady. The thing that makes Malady awesome is that the 20 bonus magic damage stacks directly onto Toxic Shot, and after just 4 basic attacks enemies will be forced to reckon with your poison stack with 24 less Magic Resist (with your runes and boots, that is about 52 Magic Resist you just ate! That is almost exactly proportional to an Abyssal Mask worth of protection you tore through).
Next Best Thing: Frozen Mallet This item is great if you are really feeling vulnerable with Teemo's squishiness and are getting ganked like a mofo. Having a hugely annoying and constant slow isn't bad either.
4. Deathfire Grasp: Some healthy AP as well as a wicked active that can be devastating when used to initiate a gank. Plus you'll be maxing out the Cooldown Reduction cap at 40%, meaning if the map isn't just completely swarming with mushrooms now you're doing it wrong.
Next Best Thing: Abyssal Mask AP, Magic Resist, and even more Penetration (insert immature giggle here) all in evil staff thingy. What's not to like?
5. Wit's End: Getting some Magic Resist by this time would be a good idea, considering you should be having team scuffles just about every damn minute (or whenever it's least convenient for you and your squishy brethren) in this stage of the game. If you have been getting all of the first items on this list, you will now be just on the brink of hitting the Attack Speed cap (2.5 attacks per second... lol), as well as 62 bonus magic damage from Wit's End and Malady combined. That is 107 bonus magic damage with Toxic Shot maxed out, even before AP is factored in! Add that to the fact that literally every attack you deal will cause dudes to lose Magic Resist while you gain some means you can squash individual mages. YAY.
Next Best Thing: Madred's Bloodrazor If you got Abyssal Mask earlier, then get this. You won't quite have the same shroom-spammage capacity since you don't have Deathfire Grasp, but the fact that you will be knocking off 4% of a foe's max health every hit is pretty impressive. Great for mopping up the resistance in team battles, but just remember that this 4% isn't immune to Magic Resist before you start a wild goose chase with a running champion.
6. Zhonya's Hourglass: 100 AP equals 14 more poison damage every second and 80 more points for you precious Noxious Traps. Not bad. Throw on some armor for survivability and an active that will save your butt and burn ultimates like nothing else and your Killer Teemo is complete! Happyface.
Next Best Thing: Rabadon's Deathcap If you're keeping the enemy AD dealers defanged with Blinding Dart to the point of them not even posing a threat, and/or don't see the end to this game in the immediate future (God rest your soul, you must be into your second week of playing to have had this much gold and still not see the end), get Rabadon's Deathcap to finally get your GG. When you have this much AP and speed with Teemo as you do now, the only way I can see you losing is if all your teammates were suddenly replaced with deformed babies and all the enemy champions turned into overfed Master Yi's. Seriously. Only way.
NOTE: I added a second build with all the Next Best Thing items, if u prefer that build.
Total Gold Costs
Killer Teemo Build: 13.6k Gold
Next Best Thing Build: 17.4 Gold
Daaaamn, datta lotta monay, son! Add on the fact that Next Best Thing's build doesn't have a Kage's Lucky Pick and you are going to need a ridiculously long and lucritive game to complete that item build. Just things to in mind, folks.
Well, I think that about covers it! If you have any questions, comments, or mindless troll hate to give me, please leave a little something something under the discussion thingamadoodle. Thanks for putting up with my criminally bad sense of humor and generally atrocious writing, and leave me a vote if ya feel like it ;)

Balconies aren't designed to hold such a load, he added, predicting that the trees would either blow off, landing on some innocent passerby, or the whole balcony would come tumbling down, tree and all. But common sense, I've found, is the phrase often used to mean a simplistic solution to a poorly defined problem. Bosco Verticale architect Stefano Boeri and his team of design professionals defined the problem very well. That team included Arup, the British-based multinational design and engineering firm, plus botanists and horticulturalists. Together the team figured out how to grow trees on balconies.
So the building was built, finishing late last year, and just last week Bosco Verticale was named the "2015 Best Tall Building Worldwide" by the Council on Tall Buildings and Urban Habitat, an international group of professionals dedicated to improving the design of tall buildings. The annual competition was pretty stiff. The council received entries representing 33 countries.
It narrowed things down this past summer by naming four regional winners representing the Americas, Asia and Australasia, Europe and the Middle East and Africa. From that group of four, Bosco Verticale, which translates as "Vertical Forest," emerged as the winner.
The jury lauded Bosco Verticale for its "extraordinary implementation of vegetation at such scale and height." The building supplants traditional cladding materials with screens of greenery so that the plants act as an extension of the tower's exterior envelope, creating a distinct microclimate. This "living façade," incorporates many trees of varying heights and more than 90 species of other plants, shrubs and smaller greenery. The result is a façade with an active interface to the surrounding environment, cooling and shading while scrubbing some of the pollutants from the surrounding air.
This is no small-scale experiment. Bosco Verticale stands 116 metres tall. It has 27 storeys above grade, with another three levels of underground parking. It's part of the rehabilitation of the historic centre of Milan, a city in northwestern Italy. The city was founded by the Celts in pre-Roman times. From those ancient roots, it has grown into a thriving industrial city of 5.3 million.
That many people in an industrial setting means that air quality is often poor, which is part of the rationale for the green façade. In all, the tower is sheltered and cooled by 480 large and medium-sized trees, 350 smaller trees, 5,000 shrubs, and 11,000 ground-cover plants. Taken together, they form the equivalent of an entire hectare of forest cover.
The building's performance is being carefully monitored. Researchers are assessing the façade's ability to improve air quality by filtering out dust and sequestering carbon, while it mitigates the urban heat-island effect and reduces noise pollution.
Already, a companion tower, just 76 metres tall, has been built on an adjacent property. With 18 floors, it only has about 350 trees, still an impressive number. The idea of growing vertically rather than horizontally means we're starting to see more things like vertical farms, in which entire buildings are devoted to growing vegetables. More and more rooftop farms are being built atop buildings that can sustain the additional weight involved. The concept of growing vertically is by now pretty well proven. What remains is to build them on a bigger scale and Bosco Verticale is an example of that. The realities of a warming world mean that such experimental buildings are sorely needed, as we try to find a way out of the global mess we've created for ourselves.

EDITOR'S NOTE: The media is supposed to be an impartial group of journalists and reporters who report the facts and let the people decide. But in this presidential election, the corrupt liberal media is working overtime to take down Donald Trump and elect Hillary Clinton. But guess what? Project Fear failed with Brexit in England, and it will not work here in America in November.
Following the leaked tape of GOP presidential candidate Donald Trump making lewd comments about women over the weekend, members of the Republican Party started to distance themselves. And NBC seemed quite giddy about it as they kicked off NBC Nightly News Monday with "Civil War" emblazoned across the screen. As if he was announcing the latest Marvel blockbuster Anchor Lester Holt declared, "With Donald Trump's fortunes fading over his lewd comments about women, a GOP civil war has broken out."
"Tonight, abandonment and astonishment as the country's top Republican walks away from the top of his ticket," hyped NBC's Hallie Jackson at the start of her report. She would go on to parade out naysayers to declare the GOP was in free-fall:
DAVID WASSERMAN: It's time for Republicans to hit the panic button, because trump could drag them into the political abyss…
BENJAMIN GINSBERG: Each member, each candidate is running for him or herself. And that may include embracing Donald Trump or not embracing Donald Trump.
Jackson even claimed, "Our new polling shows more voters want Democrats to control congress by the widest margin since 2013." The NBC reporter lied and stated that the Republican National Committee was "silent" on Republicans denouncing Trump's comment.
But according the CBS's Julianna Goldman that is far from reality, "One group that is sticking by Trump is the Republican National Committee, which also said today that it will still provide money and other resources to the Republican nominee." But Goldman's CBS Evening News report hyped the "GOP civil war" just as much as Jackson's.
Goldman seemed almost excited as she went into detail about how little Democrats needed to do to win back control of both Congressional chambers. "Democrats need 30 seats to take control of the House and just five seats to win back the Senate," she said, ignoring the historical difficulty of taking a seat from an incumbent Senator.
The CBS reporter touted how democrats were pouncing and running ads attacking Republicans for not ditching Trump sooner. She even went so far as to showcase an ad against Ohio Republican Senator Rob Portman crafted by his opponent Ted Strickland. "Where did you stand on Joe McCarthy? George Wallace? This is one of those moments," the ad said, "History will judge Rob Portman a coward," far from an impartial reporting of the ad campaign.
It is one thing to report that there is discontent within a party, but it's another thing to take pleasure in it. It is clear that the liberal networks take pleasure in the GOP's infighting because this is not how they report on Hillary Clinton's struggle to lasso Bernie Sanders' supporters. Back in May both CBS and NBC attacked Sanders supports' for protesting at the Nevada Democratic Convention after being steamrolled by party insiders for extra delegates. Both networks used party talking points to label Clinton's opposition as having a "penchant for actual violence." source

DiscussionAnother driver, though a minor one, for revisiting this subject, is the tremendous popularity of population genetics of coastal northern Africa in the so-called "west". People in the so-called "west" tend to have a bizarre fascination with coastal northern Africa, in contrast to enthusiasm greeted upon other areas of the continent, and in doing so, the people of the sub-region have been taken to "mystical" proportions, that is almost as ridiculous as speaking of extraterrestrial aliens transplanted into a new land where they would subsequently be cordoned off from preexisting inhabitants. With that said, as of this 2013 writing...
L1b and L2a subclades have tested positive for transition 16126C. L3 was earlier implicated (see older content of the main entry) in this mutation; examples for this, reportedly occur in the L3d, L3e (L3e2), and L3f clades [4].
Transition 16355T appears in subclade L5a, L2c, L2b, L2e [1], L1c3a1b, L3k1 [2], L4b2 [5] and L2d [3]. It's worth noting the presence of this polymorphism in the so-called L-type aforementioned clades, but also, that while it appears in the R sub-haplogroup of the L3N clade, the location of both transition 16126C and 16355T in 2 mutually independent sub-haplogroups of the R clade, which are in turn mutually independent of hg N sub-haplo-groups N1a1a and N11 [2], where 16355T again appears, whereas either polymorphism is rendered absent in other sub-haplogroups of hg R and hg N super-clades, suggests that these polymorphisms have independently emerged multiple times in distinct mtDNA organelles.
These sites are thus highly polymorphic compared to some other sites, and chance occurrence in mutually independent mtDNA clades is also quite high; in other words, these polymorphisms in on themselves, cannot reliably be used in absence of additional differentiating data to draw solid conclusions about haplogroup assignment with high confidence. Also helpful, is the possible necessity of not only solid reproduction of results in more than a single individual [e.g. polymorphisms 16126C and 16355T were pinned on a single individual], but as noted in the earlier passages, solid reproductions of results involving several different runs of DNA sequencing involving the very same individuals.
More examples of convergent mutations across different mitochondrial clades, recalling other earlier posted material: Take the aforementioned mutations at np 16298 rendering the mtDNA clade assignment into divergent super-clades; to this end, L3 was given as an example—add hg M7b or M8, as other exemplary alternatives.
Likewise, the transition at np 16179 (16179T) has been reportedly identified in L3 (xL3M, L3N). While it remains valid that the noted mutations at np 16179 and 16298 respectively occur in hg L3h1, it is important to note, and hence clarify, that they don't occur in a single haplotype, but two different sub-clades (L3h1b1 and L3h1a1 respectively [2]); better phylogenetic resolution of this clade over the course of nearly the last three years, i.e. since the main entry passages were posted, has now made it possible to pinpoint such specifics. On the other hand, no material yet available to the present author has shed light on occurrence of the 16179T mutation in hg V, the clade of Kefi et al.'s choice.
In the older passages of the main entry, it was mentioned that L1 could well be a relatively "distant possibility", or alternative to that which Kefi & co. preferred to associate with the alleged incidence of the 16179T; it appears that since then, further shuffling of the human mtDNA phylogenetic network has now rendered the initial sourcing, which had led to the drawing of that assessment, obscure. However, in lieu, new publication puts forward L0dx [6], which is reportedly defined by 16179T and is reckoned to be a possible subclade of hg L0d1, as a possible candidate for DNA-assignment consideration. Clades L4b (L4b1), L3d, and L3e (L3e1) happen to be yet other such candidates.
Mutation 16124T/C, as noted in the main entry, could allow for assignment into hg L3, with 16124T reported in L3b1a [2], and 16124C reported in L3e2 (L3e2a [4]), L3d and L3b, for example. The earlier notes of the main entry also briefly noted possible assignment into L3, with regards to the alleged transition to T polymorphism at np 16239; possible L3 candidates for this are reportedly L3d again, and L3e (L3e2 and L3e2b [4]), while the mutation is found across other L-type clades, namely hg L0 (L0f2, L0d1), L1b ( L1b2), L2a (L2a1c2 [2]), L2e and L4b (L4b1).
The aforementioned L3h1b1 clade had been implicated in the polymorphism at np 16179; however, the same clade had also been implicated in the earlier entry as a possible candidate for clade assignment for the polymorphisms at np 16172 (16172C) and np 16126 (16126C). With regards to the latter situation, it appears that DNA network reshuffling has—once again—now rendered the primary source for this observation either obscure or outdated, in contrast to what the situation was back in 2010. The subclade which may have had the necessary nucleotide attributes that fit these two latter polymorphisms under L3h1b may have been reassigned to some other position within the mtDNA network. As such, it's only fitting to look towards what currently available information suggests:
Citing from earlier posting, it was noted...
The positions "16172C" and the aforementioned "16126C" could place a specimen (Taf XXIV) in a rare L3h1b1 marker, and likewise, Taf V19E in either some L3h1b1 derivative, L1a subclade, or even M1 subclade, which all have variants bearing the 16172C mutation, assuming that Kefi et al.'s reports for either specimens doesn't involve exogenous mutations, and that homoplasic mutational events took place across hgs L3h1b1, L1a, U6, M1 and possibly, per Kefi et al.'s reckoning, JT in the HVR1 control region. - An Investigation into the "Mysterious" Mesolithic Maghrebi populations, 2010.
The earlier noting of 16172C location within Hgs M1, U6, and L1a still have merit, although it's worth noting that L1a has been re-assign in the network or treated as L0a in some publications. L1, L3e1, L3, and L4b2a2 (L4b2a2b) have all tested positive for 16172C polymorphism.
With regards to the 16174T mutation, also mentioned in the notes from 2010 (main entry), L0f1 clade has tested positive for 16174T [2], as did L3 [4], which is worth pointing out, as it appears that Kefi et al. treated that mutation [not to dismiss the record that it has been located in U6-identified DNA] as another primary identifying polymorphism for U6 consideration in DNA assignment, although it is otherwise rarely treated as such in many other publications. So, it appears that all three polymorphisms, namely 16126C, 16172C, and 16174T have appeared in L3 clades [4]; in other words, the DNA assigned to U6 by Kefi et al., could just as well be outright placed in L3.
To build on the last few observations, L3e2b clades (including L3e2b1a1, L3e2b3 sub-clades [4]) have tested positive for both 16126C and 16172C [4]. There is rarely, if any, publication that treats 16126C as a primary identifying polymorphism for U6, yet Kefi et al. has treated this mutation just as that.

The Market for Circulating Tumor Cells (CTCs) and Cancer Stem Cells (CSCs)
Sep 09, 2015, 20:19 ET from ReportBuyer
LONDON, Sept. 9, 2015 /PRNewswire/ -- Circulating tumor cells (CTCs) have tremendous utility in cancer research, aiding researchers in deciphering the complex processes leading to cancer metastasis and in developing more effective cancer therapeutics. Besides the research applications, the detection and analysis of CTCs has enormous potential in the diagnosis and management of cancer, as current tools, such as tumor tissue biopsy or imaging technologies, have numerous limitations. Although their biology and characteristics are still not entirely elucidated, CTCs are believed to detach from primary or secondary tumors, enter the bloodstream, and travel to distant organs. The majority of CTCs die in the bloodstream due to the harsh environment; very few of them are able to metastasize, and even fewer known as cancer stem cells (CSCs) can form distant tumors. Nevertheless, this small percentage of CTCs about 0.01% is sufficient to initiate and continue the blood-borne metastasis process, which leads to the progression of the disease and death.
The Market for Circulating Tumor Cells (CTCs) and Cancer Stem Cells (CSCs) is a detailed analysis of the potential opportunities for manufacturers of CTCs-based technologies, informing readers of the scientific basis of CTCs in an understandable fashion and constructing models of revenue opportunity based on several dimensions application area, cancer type and region that can assist with business planning efforts.

my son loves loves loves food. hes a very solid little boy. a lot of the time when his food is gone he fusses for more, i can not eat in front of him unless i share or give him something or he will throw a fit so i have to hide. he eats plenty! breakfast he gets six oz of milk one egg half a banana and sometimes half a piece of bread and will eat it all. lunch he gets half a sandwich some avocado and try to squeeze in a fruit and dinner usually just what we have. he still breast feeds and drinks water all day and gets a snack in between meals so he is not hungry. i have never seen a baby this obsessed over food. he has also mauled other kids who had food trying to get to their food. any advice on how to get him to not think about his taste buds all the time.
Re: suggestions......?
Wow, that's a tough one. Robby also loves to eat and he will "beg" (for lack of a better term) if we eat in front of him, too, lol. I probably wouldn't worry about it too much if the pediatrician hasn't said anything to you; he'll likely outgrow it. I know there are times when Robby eats more than I would think would possibly fit in his belly (it's usually a growth spurt), and other times when he isn't really interested in anything I offer him. It sounds like Zaiden is eating healthy food, so I wouldn't discourage him from trying new things and learning to enjoy all kinds of different foods! He'll develop other interests in time. When he gets bigger, you can all be active together and it'll burn off all the extra calories; for now, he's got lovable chub. :)
Re: suggestions......?
Winter Rose, too! If you are eating, she must also be eating even if she just ate! She's long and thin so I have no idea where it goes. she is pretty active at sometimes. Maybe just burning it off quick?
I sometimes have to put her in her highchair just so her sister can eat in peace!
Re: suggestions......?
im glad my son isnt the only one! i mean he does have an obsession with food and i will probably talk with the pediatrician about it.
Re: suggestions......?
Katara is the same she loves to eat and has to eat when anyone else is eating but she is tall and thin so I'm ok with it
Re: suggestions......?
yea i mean i would feel better if he wasnt getting so chunky. he throws fits if i say no and he always points to the kitchen he does not have a full button. food is the only thing that gets him upset

A controlled prospective comparison of automated and manual reading of cytology in primary cervical screening
|HTA Programme
Henry Kitchener, University of Manchester;
Rosa Legood, London School of Hygiene and Tropical Medicine
|Alastair Gray
Cervical screening by cytology (smear tests) has proved an effective means of reducing death rate from cervical cancer and the introduction of Liquid Based Cytology (LBC) will benefit both women and cytoscreeners.
The use of automated technology may bring further benefits by making identification of abnormal cells easier. Instead of scanning an entire slide the cytoscreeners will be directed to 15-22 locations on a slide by computerised software.
MAVARIC was a diagnostic accuracy study set up in August 2005 to compare two automated cervical screening technologies with manual screening. Samples from women undergoing primary cervical screening were read using one of two automated technologies and compared with manual screening. The economic component included the collection of data on the costs and productivity implications of automated reading and the extrapolation of trial results using a Markov model to estimate the long term cost effectiveness of this technique. A manuscript detailing the economic analysis has been submitted for publication.
