Dreams of Eroticism Trailer (1977)
18 November 1977 89 mins
A timeless and titillating tale of the immoral private lives of the royal court's high officials. All the bed and body hopping is not exclusive to the family, either. Their maids and servants get involved as well, leading to flesh, fibs, and suicide, among other things. Taken all together, this is an all-time classic of sumptuous sexuality.
Watch the official Dreams of Eroticism 1977 trailer in HD below or find more Dreams of Eroticism videos on Vidimovie.

This groundbreaking history of the Panama Canal offers a revelatory workers'-eye view of the momentous undertaking and shows how it launched the American century.
Less interested in the now fabled engineering feats of the project, [Greene] instead emphasizes the human dimensionthe daily lives of the thousands of workers and family members who journeyed to the Canal Zone from all parts of the world seeking adventure, better wages or simply a fresh start…The real strength of The Canal Builders lies not in floating big theories, but in recreating forgotten lives. It is history from the bottom up, and it speaks for 60,000 anonymous people who helped build what President Theodore Roosevelt grandiosely called "the greatest work of the kind ever attempted."

Huawei has brought its design chops to Google's Nexus 6P, its Mate series of phablets, and, more recently, the P9 and P9 Plus. Now the company is at it again with yet another pair of premium mobiles, only this time, their price tags are low enough to dip under the flagship radar.
Meet the Nova and Nova Plus, two new form factors that borrow much of their industrial designs from Huawei's previous and most celebrated works.
The smaller Nova resembles a mini version of the Nexus 6P, but with curved sides that give the illusion of a leaner frame and ensure a more secure grip; the Nova Plus, on the other hand, is a Frankenstein's creation made from Huawei's latest offerings.
The latter stands taller with its 5.5-inch diagonal, while the Nova offers 5 inches of screen space in full resolution.
The phones come with a fingerprint ID system on the back, as well as the latest reversible Type-C connector (regrettably, Huawei hasn't said anything about quick-charging support). Huawei is claiming you'll be able to get two days of "common usage" out of the devices.
Both run a custom, Android Marshmallow-based interface on a Qualcomm Snapdragon 625 system-on-a-chip with 3GB of RAM and 32GB of expandable storage as standard. These specs are comparable to those of the ASUS ZenFone 3 and Huawei's own G9 Plus.
A software update to Nougat is coming soon, but the phone maker isn't committing to a release date at this point.
The ability to produce quality images is a key distinction for Huawei's past devices, and the same rings true today. The Nova and Nova Plus share the same 8-megapixel front-facer with an f/2.0 aperture lens, whereas their rear cameras offer a bit of variety in terms of megapixel count and technology.
The former packs a 12-megapixel shooter with large pixels; the Plus version boasts a sharper, 16-megapixel camera with image stabilization.
The Huawei Nova and Nova Plus will cost €399 and €429 in Europe, respectively. Pricing in other markets has yet to be decided. You can look forward to their arrival in October.

text: Got my Captivate from Let's Talk on July 21, and today is the final day for me to return it if I want a refund. While I'm overall happy with the phone, I'm wondering if any of you other Captivate users - knowing what you know now about the Captivate - would buy a different phone if given the chance to do it all over. Put another way, out of all of the Android phones out there, across all US carriers, what would be your top choice - Captivate, or something else? Not sure yet whether I am going to return it or not, but thought it would be interesting to get your feedback!

Barry Bonds has been ordered to meet with U.S. Probation Department officials to discuss terms of his 30-day house arrest.
A federal judge ordered Bonds to meet with the officials to work out the details of his sentence after he lost his appeal of his felony obstruction of justice conviction. The order was dated Monday and made public Tuesday.
A jury convicted Bonds in 2011 and he was sentenced to home confinement, two years of probation and a $4,000 fine. The sentence was put on hold while Bonds pursued his appeal.
Now that he lost, Major League Baseball's career home run leader said he would like to immediately begin serving his sentence. Bonds said he still plans to pursue his appeal. He could ask the 9th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals to reconsider his appeal or petition the U.S. Supreme Court.

What a fantastic room that has been created by Loftplan!
I would just like to express my sincere thanks for the splendid job.
After doing a lot of research and having 3 quotes from different companies I decided to go with Loft Plan. The first contact through to the after sales was first class.
Loftplan drew up a rough idea of what the room would look like on their first visit. It was fantastic being able to visualise the room in an instant and the designer was very realistic in his approach. The first fix, Mark and Ben, really couldn't do any more for you, assisting me in making decisions and explaining their every move. Mark was so accommodating and would always go that extra mile. His attention to detail was second to none and his knowledge was brilliant.
The end result is a beautiful master bedroom with an ensuite and the most amazing views over the roof tops. It has totally transformed my home.
I really can't thank Loftplan enough for their professionalism, their kindness, their speed and their overall result.
Thanks again
Dear Loftplan,
I'd like to take the opportunity to thank the whole Loftplan team, who did a fantastic job delivering the build with a really high quality finish. Both my wife and I are thrilled with the new extension, not to mention how happy the kids are with their new rooms. Everyone we met from the team at Loftplan was very friendly, polite, professional and hard working. They went out of their way to minimise the disruption caused by the building works and to ensure we were happy client throughout. I'd highly recommend Loftplan to anyone thinking of converting their loft and will happily act as a reference if any customers have questions or want to see our finished conversion.
Thanks again,
Dear sirs,
We are delighted and pleased with the service that Loftplan has provided to our home. The attention to detail and the careful explanation from design, to the loft conversion work was excellent.The loft teams are a credit to the business, they truly understand customer service. We must make a special mention of these employee's who from the very first day that they turned up were very helpful and friendly indeed.
They provided excellent advice on designing our cupboards, which was an addition to the contract and when they built them they turned out even better than we could have imagined.Great work and customer service.
We have recommended you to many friends and colleagues and have seen your banner at several of our neighbours property's on the Heath.
Keep up the good work!
Thank you
Mr and Mrs Patel
Dear James,
From the very beginning your team of supervisors and fitters worked hard and beyond in helping us plan and create such a specialised Cinema room.
In particular Jim and Rob's work ethic and "Nothing is a problem attitude" during the structural stage made such a task that much easier. The finished product is a testament to the high levels of skill employed by your staff in all the stages.
Thanks to all at Loftplan,
Steve and Lorraine Oliver
We are thoroughly impressed with the service that we have received from Loftplan and would not hesitate to recommend them to others. All of the staff that we have come into contact with have been punctual, friendly, knowledgeable and helpful. We thought it might be quite stressful having building work done, but it was not like that at all. The on-site workers were extremely hard working and got the job done in as much as a non obtrusive,efficient, clean and tidy way as possible.
The supervisors and office staff were very responsive and answered all our questions promptly. The whole process from initial design to completion of the structure has been hassle free and we are delighted with the change to our house and the extra space that we have gained.
We wish that we had this done a long time ago!
Thanks again
Dear loftplan,
I would like to thank you and your team for our beautiful loft conversion that you recently installed in our property. We are very pleased with the end result and and would like to put forward the following recommendation.
We are very pleased with our loft conversion and all the people who worked on it. Dan and luke who were the main fitting team were always very helpful and have been good humoured, professional and very easy to deal with. We had a main point of contact in the office and always had some one on hand to guide us throughout the project. We would highly recommend anyone who was looking for a reliable team to build their Loft Conversion to a high standard.
Wishing you all the very best
Kind regards
Dan and Joan
A few words for a review of the work carried out on our property….
Loftplan have made our house into a home. We are truly over the moon with the 'play/cinema room' they have helped create in our new loft. We found both the office and the builders to be extremely knowledgeable, helpful, professional and put us at ease with any concerns.
Both Ben and Mark, the builders did a stunning job. They were neat and tidy, had a great work ethic and were only satisfied when we were happy. The finished product was delivered to a high standard and we as a family are loving spending time up there!
We would definitely recommend Loftplan – a super job all round!
Thank you
Harry and Rav Sandhu
Hi Becka,
Just wanted to confirm that I have made the final payment by bacs this evening and I look forward to receiving the 10 year guarantee and approval documents in due course.
I would like to say that both Hayden and I have been extremely pleased with the quality and finish of the works carried out on our loft conversion- it has totally transformed our house and it is a complete pleasure to come home to. We have recommended you to many friends and will continue to do so to anyone who asks. As well as the the loft you rearranged the first floor rooms which was much better than moving house.
Thank you
Dear Sirs,
Now that the summer holidays are out of the way I have a few minutes in which to sit down and drop you a line. Margret and I wanted to let you know just how thrilled we are with the loft conversion that you have done for us. We knew that our house had potential, but we never thought that the finished work would be quite so superb.
From the moment we came into contact with your firm we knew that we wanted you to do the job-to be honest building companies do not have the best of reputations , but everything that Loftplan agreed to undertake was done and well within budget. Moreover, your flexible approach to adding the 'little touches' as the work developed was a breath of fresh air and has undoubtedly added to our pleasure at the finished work.
Your teams of workers are to be congratulated- not only did we suffer very little disruption, but when unavoidable mess was made they cleaned up every night and left us in a liveable state. Their thoughtfulness was much appreciated. In addition to that they were a really great bunch of people! They kept us well informed as to the progress and their quality of work is undeniable.
Now we have finished the decorating and the loft conversion is in full use- how did we ever manage without it? When I sat down and worked out the figures I realised it would have been madness to move house, which was on the agenda at one point. The mark of a good job has to be how well the work blends with the original house. Without fail everyone who has seen the changes to the house over the last few months has remarked on how well the new has been integrated with the old. You would never believe that the house had not been built with a converted loft! That is due in no small part to the careful thought that your team put into the planning stages and to the evident knowledge that Loftplan has in this specialist field.
In conclusion I would like to say that we would be very happy for you to show this letter to any prospective customers and show them around should they like to see the finished work. I only hope the standard of our decorating matches that of Loftplans workmanship
We wish you all the best.
Yours sincerely
Mark and Margret Rawlings, Reading
Dear Loftplan,
Just a quick note to say thanks for the wonderful work carried out on our loft. The change is quite spectacular, and we find it hard to believe when we are lying in bed that the room was once a loft full of junk and cold water tanks.
The bedroom and shower room are a source of great conversation with our neighbours and several have asked to view so you may get some more business soon ! The bedroom is now finished with the carpet laid and it does look really sumptuous and much is bigger than we expected,and the built in wardrobes are the icing on the cake.
Please thank all the team for their skills and we would like to say that they are a credit to your company.They kept the house and garden tidy and were always friendly and helpful and respectful of our home.
A great job, thank you.
Jenny and Richard Payne, Old Windsor, Berkshire

A Diet Might Cut the Risk of Developing Alzheimer's
Researchers spent two years developing the MIND diet, which includes many brain-healthy foods like berries and greens
Researchers successfully tested a special diet they designed that appears to reduce the risk for developing Alzheimer's disease.
The study compared the so-called MIND diet with the popular, heart-healthy Mediterranean diet and the DASH diet, which is intended to help control high blood pressure. The MIND diet borrows significantly from the other two, and all are largely plant-based and low in high-fat foods. But the MIND diet places...

The Comix Trailer (1999)
"Did Someone Say Strip?" 25 October 1999 80 mins
The well-regarded creator of a highly successful comic strip, "Little Annie Often," actually has little to do with the strip--his staff does all the work and he takes the credit (and the money). He also cheats on his wife and treats everyone else like dirt. One day the artist who actually draws the strip dies, and "Little Annie Often" comes to life, determined to prove to the world what a fraud the supposed "creator" is.

This is a lovely hearty salad with great flavour and doesn't take a huge amount of prep.
The ingredients I used made 2 decent sized salads.
4 bulbs of beetroot chopped into quarters and roasted at 200 for 30 minutes.
150g goat's cheese sliced and crumbled.
Tomatoes, I used a few yellow cherry and a standard red.
Toasted pine nuts.
3 chopped spring onion.
½ bag of lamb's lettuce.
Crispy bacon pieces.
While the beetroot is roasting firstly roast the pine nuts in a dry frying pan until brown. Then you can crisp your bacon in the same pan. Once you have everything prepped then assemble. As easy as that.
I dressed the salad with a sprinkling of good virgin olive oil and the same with balsamic.

|Letter to the Governor
|Letter to the Premier
|Suggested Sections of the 2009 Constitution for Review
On 14 October 2014 the Constitutional Commission sent the following letter to Her Excellency the Governor, the Honourable Premier, the Honourable Leader of the Opposition and the Joint Team Leader of the Overseas Territory Directorate in the Foreign and Commonwealth Office.
"Following on from our previous correspondence, the Constitutional Commission wishes to take this opportunity to inform you that it has completed its review of the Constitution by examining it section by section. In addition, while it has not engaged in a public consultation on the subject the Commission has included comments received from various other parties.
During its review the Commission identified several sections which are sufficiently important to warrant being considered for amendment. There are various reasons for the identification of these sections, including, without limitation, ambiguity or uncertainty.

Tetrapod limbs are serially homologous structures that represent a particularly interesting model for studies on morphological integration, i.e. the tendency of developmental systems to produce correlated variation. In newts, limbs develop at an early larval stage and grow continuously, including after the habitat transition from water to land following metamorphosis. However, aquatic and terrestrial environments impose different constraints and locomotor modes that could affect patterns of morphological integration and evolvability. We hypothesize that this would be the case for alternative heterochronic morphs in newts, i.e. aquatic paedomorphs that keep gills at the adult stage and adult metamorphs that are able to disperse on land. To this end, we analysed patterns and strengths of correlations between homologous skeletal elements of the fore- and hindlimbs as well as among skeletal elements within limbs in both phenotypes in the alpine newt, Ichthyosaura alpestris. Our results showed that metamorphs and paedomorphs had similar, general patterns of limb integration. Partial correlations between homologous limb elements and within limb elements were higher in paedomorphs when compared to metamorphs. Decrease in partial correlation between homologous limb elements in metamorphs is accompanied with a higher evolvability of the terrestrial morph. All these results indicate that environmental demands shaped the patterns of morphological integration of alpine newt limbs and that the observed diversity in correlation structure could be related to a qualitative difference in the modes of locomotion between the morphs.

Organisms with complex life cycles are characterized by a metamorphosis that allows for a major habitat shift and the exploitation of alternative resources. However, metamorphosis can be bypassed in some species through a process called paedomorphosis, resulting in the retention of larval traits at the adult stage and is considered important at both micro- and macroevolutionary scales. In facultatively paedomorphic populations of newts, some individuals retain gills and a fully aquatic life at the adult stage (paedomorphs), while others undergo complete metamorphosis (metamorphs), allowing for a terrestrial life-stage. Because facultative paedomorphosis affects trophic structures and feeding mechanism of newts, one hypothesis is that it may be maintained as a trophic polymorphism, with the advantage to lessen intraspecific competition during the shared aquatic life-stage. Here, we tested this hypothesis combining stomach content data with stable isotope techniques, using carbon and nitrogen stable isotopes, in facultatively paedomorphic alpine newts Ichthyosaura alpestris. Both stomach content and stable isotope analyses showed that paedomorphs had smaller trophic niches and were more reliant on pelagic resources, while metamorphs relied more on littoral resources, corresponding to a polyphenism along the littoral-pelagic axis and the extension of the population's trophic niche to otherwise 'underused' pelagic resources by paedomorphs. Interestingly, stable isotopes revealed that the trophic polyphenism was less marked in males than in females and potentially linked to sexual activity. Although paedomorphosis and metamorphosis are primarily seen as results of tradeoffs between the advantages of using aquatic versus terrestrial habitats, this study provides evidence that additional forces, such as intraspecific trophic niche differences between morphs and trophic niche expansion, may play an important role in the persistence of this dimorphism in heterogeneous environments. Moreover, the different patterns found in males and females show the importance of considering sex to understand the evolutionary ecology of trophic polymorphisms.

The hydroperiod of breeding habitats imposes a strong selection on amphibians and pond-breeding species usually exhibit a high degree of plasticity in the duration of larval period. However, the potential for phenotypic plasticity in fast developing species was investigated only in a small number of anurans, and the specific response to environmental cues such as low water versus decreasing water level, as well as the effects of such cues on particular developmental stages, are even less understood. In this context, we investigated the plastic response to pond desiccation in a neotropical species (Ceratophrys stolzmanni) by raising tadpoles in three water level treatments: constant high, constant low and decreasing. The growth rates were the highest reported for amphibian tadpoles (up to 0.3g/day) and the time to metamorphosis was short in all treatments, with the fastest developing tadpole metamorphosing in only 16 days after egg deposition. Individuals from the constant high water level treatment had a higher growth rate than those in the other two treatments, whereas decreasing and constant low water levels had similar effects on development, speeding up metamorphosis. In turn, this involved a cost as these tadpoles had a lower body size and mass at metamorphosis than the ones raised in constant high water levels. The final stages of metamorphosis, when tadpoles are the most vulnerable, were shorter in tadpoles exposed to a decreasing water level, allowing them to leave water quickly. Our experiment demonstrates that phenotypic plasticity is maintained even in environments devoid of permanent aquatic habitats. Ceratophryd tadpoles are able to shorten their developmental time when they perceive a risk of desiccation and react similarly to cues coming from the two unfavorable water conditions showing their adaptation to ephemeral and unpredictable breeding habitats.

A linear oscillator simultaneously subjected to stochastic forcing and parametric excitation is considered. The time required for this system to evolve from a low initial energy level until a higher energy state for the first time is a random variable. Its expectation satisfies the Pontryagin equation of the problem, which is solved with the asymptotic expansion method developed by Khasminskii. This allowed deriving closed-form expressions for the expected first passage time. A comprehensive parameter analysis of these solutions is performed. Beside identifying the important dimensionless groups governing the problem, it also highlights three important regimes which are called incubation, multiplicative and additive because of their specific features. Those three regimes are discussed with the parameters of the problem. [less ▲]Detailed reference viewed: 78 (24 ULiège)

The genetic era has revolutionized our perception of biological invasions. Yet, it is usually too late to understand their genesis for efficient management. Here, we take the rare opportunity to reconstruct the scenario of an uprising invasion of the famous water frogs (Pelophylax) in southern France, through a fine-scale genetic survey. We identified three different taxa over less than 200 km2: the autochthonous P. perezi, along with the alien P. ridibundus and P. kurtmuelleri, which have suddenly become invasive. As a consequence, the latter hybridizes and may now form a novel hybridogenetic complex with P. perezi, which could actively promote its replacement. This exceptional situation makes a textbook application of genetics to early-detect, monitor and understand the onset of biological invasions before they pose a continental-wide threat. It further emphasizes the alarming rate of amphibian translocations, both at global and local scales, as well as the outstanding invasive potential of Pelophylax aliens.

Paedomorphosis is an alternative process to metamorphosis in which adults retain larval traits at the adult stage. It is frequent in newts and salamanders, where larvae reach sexual maturity without losing their gills. However, in some populations, larvae overwinter in water, while remaining immature. These alternative ontogenetic processes are of particular interest in various research fields, but have different causes and consequences, as only paedomorphosis allows metamorphosis to be bypassed before maturity. It is thus relevant to efficiently identify paedomorphs versus overwintering larvae. In this context, the aim of this paper was threefold: firstly, to perform a meta-analysis of the identification procedures carried out in the literature; secondly, to determine the effectiveness of body size to make inferences about adulthood by surveying natural newt populations of Lissotriton helveticus and Ichthyosaura alpestris, and thirdly, to propose easy guidelines for an accurate distinction between large larvae and paedomorphs based on an external sexual trait, which is essential for reproduction — the cloaca. More than half of the studies in the literature do not mention the diagnostic criteria used for determining adulthood. The criteria mentioned were the presence of mature gonads (10%), eggs laid (4%), courtship behaviour (10%), and external morphological sexual traits (39%) including the cloaca (24%). Body-size thresholds should not be used as a proxy for paedomorphosis, because overwintering larvae can reach a larger size than paedomorphs within the same populations. In contrast, diagnosis based on cloacal external morphology is recommended, as it can be processed by the rapid visual assessment of all caught specimens, thus providing straightforward data at the individual level for both sexes.

The 'male escape hypothesis': sex-biased metamorphosis in response to climatic drivers in a facultatively paedomorphic amphibian

Paedomorphosis is a major evolutionary process that bypasses metamorphosis and allows reproduction in larvae. In newts and salamanders, it can be facultative with paedomorphs retaining gills and metamorphs dispersing. The evolution of these developmental processes is thought to have been driven by the costs and benefits of inhabiting aquatic versus terrestrial habitats. In this context, we aimed at testing the hypothesis that climatic drivers affect phenotypic transition and the difference across sexes because sex-ratio is biased in natural populations. Through a replicated laboratory experiment, we showed that paedomorphic palmate newts (Lissotriton helveticus) metamorphosed at a higher frequency when water availability decreased and metamorphosed earlier when temperature increased in these conditions. All responses were sex-biased, and males were more prone to change phenotype than females. Our work shows how climatic variables can affect facultative paedomorphosis and support theoretical models predicting life on land instead of in water. Moreover, because males metamorphose and leave water more often and earlier than females, these results, for the first time, give an experimental explanation for the rarity of male paedomorphosis (the 'male escape hypothesis') and suggest the importance of sex in the evolution of paedomorphosis versus metamorphosis.

Understanding the way species with similar niches can coexist is a challenge in ecology.The niche partitioning hypothesis has received much support, positing that species can exploit available resources in different ways. In the case of secretive species, behavioural mechanisms of partitioning are still poorly understood. This is especially true for fossorial frogs because individuals hide underground by day and are active only during the night. We investigated the nocturnal activity and tested the niche partitioning hypothesis in two syntopic fossorial spadefoot toads (Pelobates fuscus and P. syriacus) by examining interspecific variation in emergence from the soil. We employed a night vision recording system combined with video-tracking analyses in a replicated laboratory setting to quantify individual movement patterns, a procedure that has not been used until now to observe terrestrial amphibians. Most individuals appeared on the surface every night and returned to their original burrow (about 60% of the times), or dug a new one around morning. There was a large temporal overlap between the two species. However, P. syriacus was significantly more active than P. fuscus in terms of total distance covered and time spent moving, while P. fuscus individuals left their underground burrow more frequently than P. syriacus. Consequently, P. fuscus adopted more of a sit-and-wait behaviour compared to P. syriacus, and this could facilitate their coexistence. The use of night video-tracking technologies offered the advantage of individually tracking these secretive organisms during their nocturnal activity period and getting fine-grain data to understand their movement patterns.

The spatial distribution of organisms in patchy environments can be determined by the relationship between habitat quality and animal behaviour. In species with complex life cycles, such as pond-breeding amphibians, the selection of a suitable wetland is crucial. While the traditional view of amphibian ecology suggests strong site fidelity and low vagility, more recent research highlights mechanisms involving active site choice through avoidance behaviour and bet-hedging strategies in heterogeneous environments. The introduction of fish to the aquatic environment is one of the factors that may alter site selection and lead to local dispersal. In this context, we investigated the habitat choice of Alpine newts, Ichthyosaura alpestris, in networks of fish (Carassius auratus) and fishless aquatic patches. Using a laboratory design consisting of aquaria divided into two water tanks connected by a terrestrial platform, we assessed newt distribution and movement between patches. During the breeding period, we compared the reproductive success of individuals in two types of networks. We found that newts escaped fish by rapidly changing aquatic patches and then aggregating in safe aquatic patches that were free of fish. In the fish network, newts maintained reproduction, but the high local abundance resulted in decreased sexual activity and egg production and increased use of the terrestrial habitat. However, in the fishless network, newts moved between aquatic patches several times, exhibited more courtship behaviour and laid more eggs than they did in the fish networks. Our results showed both adaptive habitat switching due to environmental risks in the fish network and habitat supplementation (i.e. use of alternative resources) in the fishless network. Such studies on movement behaviour and habitat selection have conservation implications in showing that the persistence of native species in invaded networks depends on the rescue effect, with immigration to fish-free habitats potentially preventing local extinction.

Do sex reversal procedures differentially affect agonistic behaviours and sex steroid levels depending on the sexual genotype in Nile tilapia?

In Nile tilapia Oreochromis niloticus, phenotypic males and females with different sexual genotypes (XX, XY, YY) have particular behavioural and physiological traits. Compared to natural XX females and XY males, XY and YY females, and XX males expressed higher level of aggressiveness that could be related to higher levels of 17β-oestradiol and 11-ketotestosterone respectively. Our results suggest that the presence of a Y chromosome increases aggressiveness in females. However, since the same relationship between aggressiveness and the Y chromosome is not observed in males, we can hypothesize that the differences in aggressiveness are not directly dependent on the genotype but on the sex reversal procedures applied on young fry during their sexual differentiation to produce these breeders. These hormonal treatments could have permanently modified the development of the brain and consequently influenced the behaviour of adults independently of their genotype. In both hypotheses (genotype or sex reversal influence), the causes of behavioural modifications have to be searched in an early modification of the brain sexual differentiation.

For amphibians, optimal size at metamorphosis is determined by a trade-off between opportunities for growth and risks of mortality in aquatic and terrestrial habitats, and many species show a high degree of plasticity in time and size at metamorphosis that allow them to adapt to unpredictable environments. We used as model a neotropical anuran species, the Pacific horned frog, Ceratophrys stolzmanni, that inhabits the Tumbesian dry forests of southwestern Ecuador, and lays its eggs in lentic habitats of variable size and unpredictable duration. We investigated (i) how tadpoles time their metamorphosis in order to escape a rapidly drying aquatic habitat, and (ii) the consequences of metamorphosis plasticity on the immediate and mid-term fitness of individuals. We conducted two experiments; in the first one we exposed 36 tadpoles to one of three water levels treatments: constant high, decreasing and constant low. Tadpoles that were raised in decreasing or low water level metamorphosed on average 13% and 10% faster than the ones from constant high water level, but at a lower body size and mass. Growth rates were among the highest recorded for tadpoles and individuals from the constant high water level treatment grew at a much faster rate than the others. In a second experiment, we sampled 72 freshly metamorphosed (Gosner stage 45) C. stolzmanni individuals of assorted sizes (SVL between 23.8 and 47.9 mm, body weight between 1.2 and 11.9 g). From this spectrum of sizes, we selected the 21 largest and 22 smallest individuals and evaluated the effects of body size at metamorphosis on trophic and locomotory performance parameters. We determined their growth rate and survival over the course of an activity season (i.e., two months). Our results show that bigger size at metamorphosis is correlated with better survival chances and performance. Larger individuals were more mobile, had bigger gape width and better survival rates (95% compared to 64% for small individuals). Growth rates were not correlated with initial size, and small individuals were capable of increasing their size at a higher rate. This indicates that, although size at metamorphosis has an immediate impact on fitness, smaller individuals are able to compensate with an increased growth rate.

Malignant histiocytosis - a rare disease that occurs due to the proliferation of histiocytes.It features a high mortality rate.Manifested lymphadenopathy, malaise, fever.Patients often lose weight.During examination revealed typical malignant processes of bone marrow lesions.
classification of malignant histiocytosis
Now cases of malignant histiocytosis are often classified as positive anaplastic large cell lymphoma Ki-1, often not true histiocytic and T-cell origin.For the treatment of disease using a program designed for malignant lymphomas, respectively individually set the type of tumor.
Integrated diagnostics detect malignant histiocytosis includes:
- submicroscopic method;
- cytology;
- histology;
- immunohistochemical method;
- cytochemistry.
Tumor cells are characterized by polymorphism.Accepted provide three types of tumor cells:
- cells with vacuolization and basophilic cytoplasm;
- cells with eccentrically located nucleus, having an elongated shape;
- large cells with phagocytosed particlesto erythrophagocytosis.
disease occurs disease in different age groups, from two months to 90 years of age.At the age of 15, girls and boys can develop them with equal probability.Adults, young and middle-aged men are 2.2 times more likely to suffer from this disease than women.
Onset of the disease manifests itself acutely.Symptoms:
- progressing fast weight loss;
- high temperature;
- increasing weakness;
- jaundice;
- shortness of breath;
- diarrhea;
- generalized lymphadenopathy;
- splenomegaly and hepatomegaly.
Many patients with early lesions are detected in the lymph nodes.The second scene of the first frequency of the lesions is the skeletal system.On radiographs near the sprout zones in tubular and flat bones revealed small focal destruction.Macrofocal destruction is flush character is found in the bones around it stretch, or, like multiple myeloma, as multiple lesions.
The skin abnormality occurs in 10-15% of cases.This pathology is similar to that seen with histiocytosis X, but malignant tumors deep layers of skin are affected more clearly how and subcutaneous tissue.Formed knotted or blyashkovidnye purple or brown infiltrates, which are often at the center of ulcerate and disintegrate, especially in the generalization.You may experience papular rash with the same characteristics.
diagnostic complexities
diagnose malignant histiocytosis is very difficult.In half the cases the diagnosis can be verified by a bone marrow puncture, in which found total or partial infiltration of immature atypical histiocytes.Used liver biopsy, skin, spleen.The affected tissues contain proliferative in the skin appear patchy infiltrates located perivascular and perifollicular.
in different tissues detected tumor cells of different sizes, with polymorphic nuclei and broad eosinophilic cytoplasm, nucleus often bean-shaped, the edge position in the cell.The cytoplasm may contain phagocytosed material.Can be found cells with ugly, lobed nuclei, there are giant multinucleated.Figures
different dividing cells including atypical.Infiltrates can include eosinophils, neutrophils, lymphocytes, plasma cells.Often there are necrosis.Subcutaneous tissue is affected panniculitis with characteristic focal lipogranulemami.
peripheral blood can be characterized by the presence of pancytopenia and atypical gistiomonotsitarnyh cells, usually in the terminal stage.
treatment of this rare disease is very complex, with little chance of success.Mortality of malignant histiocytosis - the highest.Used combined intensive chemotherapy.It allows you to prolong the patient's life up to 46 months.

Wouldn't it be nice if we could take our awesome home theater-surround sound system with us on the road, especially if we're frequently traveling or carry the family along?
Sure, it costs a little more for the best in-car sound systems direct from the factory, but isn't the pure enjoyment worth it? For the audiophiles among us, it definitely is. Here we take a look at some 2012 and one 2013 family cars with the best sound systems.
Could you pay more? Undoubtedly you could, but there's really no need, unless, of course, you've just hit the Lottery or come into an unexpected windfall.
2013 Lexus GS 350
Unveiled at the 2011 Pebble Beach Concours d'Elegance and available in February 2012, the 2013 Lexus GS 350 five-passenger mid-size luxury sport sedan will offer an available 835-watt 17-speaker Mark Levinson audio system. The system provides 7.1 Surround Sound through 10 channels using a new class Digital amplifier and luxury-first Green Edge speakers that are more energy-efficient, lighter and have less distortion. Lexus says the new system produces almost three times as many watts per channel over the previous generation.
2012 Honda Odyssey

2012 Honda Odyssey
Carting the family around in an eight-passenger 2012 Honda Odyssey can be more than a little less distracting with the Touring Elite trim's standard 650-watt AM/FM/CD premium audio system with twelve speakers, including subwoofer and 5.2 Surround Sound Theater mode. Note that this is a big step up from the 229-watt system with five speakers standard in the base LX model, or the same 229 watts and seven speakers standard in EL and EX-L, or even the 246-watt, seven-speaker system standard in the EX-L with Navigation and Touring trims. But then, you get what you pay for, and the 2012 Honda Odyssey Touring Elite is pure comfort and technology on wheels, along with great audio entertainment. The 2012 Honda Odyssey Touring Elite begins at $43,675.
2012 Hyundai EquusEnlarge Photo
2012 Hyundai Equus
As Hyundai's luxury large sedan, the four-passenger 2012 Equus should have all the bells and whistles to appeal to the most discerning audiophile. Does it deliver? The proof is in the enjoyment of the Lexicon 7.1 Discrete Surround Sound Audio System with 17 standard speakers. That's more speakers than you'll find standard on BMW and Mercedes-Benz. In addition, the Lexicon 7.1 Discrete Surround Sound system includes a 13-channel digital amplifier that produces 608 watts of distortion-free music. What the system promises: the ability to experience true audiophile quality with an audio system that delivers higher highs, lower lows, and rich mid-range sounds. The Lexicon 7.1 Discrete Surround Sound system also has XM Satellite Radio with over 170 digital channels, HD radio technology, and iPod/USB and auxiliary input jacks. The 2012 Hyundai Equus, available in Signature and Ultimate trims, is priced from $58,750.

2012 Infiniti EX
Optional on the 2012 Infiniti EX35 Journey and Journey AWD luxury crossover as part of the $2,700 Premium Package is the Bose 11-speaker Premium Audio system, including AM/FM/CD with MP3 playback capability, radio data system (RDS) and speed-sensitive volume control. The Premium Package also includes Infiniti Hard Drive Navigation with touch-screen display, lane guidance and 3-D building graphics, Infiniti voice recognition for audio, navigation and vehicle information systems, XM NavTraffic and XM NavWeather with real-time information, Zagat Survey restaurant guide, Around-View monitor with front and rear sonar systems, streaming audio via Bluetooth wireless technology, advanced climate control system, and aluminum roof rails.

Hezbollah leader Sayyed Hasan Narallah congratulated Iranian president-elect Hassan Rouhani Sunday on winning the nation's presidential elections.
"As we congratulate you and ourselves, too, on this decent and wonderful election, we turn to God Almighty ... to bless you and support you and make you able, through a government of hope, to achieve all the hopes," Nasrallah said in a message to Rouhani.
"We in Hezbollah-Lebanon, and with us all the Mujahideen [fighters] and this resistance country, offer our blessing on the occasion of winning deservedly the confidence of the great nation," Nasrallah added.
He said Rouhani's election has made the wish of Iran's Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei come true.
"As this political saga revived, by your blessed election, the hopes and aspirations of the people of our beloved Iran, it also renewed hopes for all your friends and beloved brothers from the oppressed Arab and Islamic peoples," Nasrallah said.

Description: However, even though may seem promising, it would be best to look for other and better alternatives for your beard care needs. Followers are Beard Czar most often submissive while leaders are assertive in their stance. It is instinctive for humans to associate facial hair as being an attribute of leaders. This is due to males only growing facial hair when they turn from boys to men, it is also what instinctually attracts women to men with facial hair. Even in recent times, it was the kings and emperors that were permitted by custom to maintain facial hair but it was forbidden for their followers to do the same. http://drozforskolin.org/beard-czar-reviews/

Do I meansure the hole itself?
A quick learner from St Peters, MO says:
October 21, 2012
Am I measuring the hole in the window? The weep holes are 1 inch by 3/8 inches. So is 26-216 what I need?
Tom from SWISCO responded:
October 22, 2012
Thanks for posting! Yes, you would measure the hole. However, the 26-216's prongs measure only 1/8" high. Are you sure it's only 1" wide? Would the 26-348 work better?
A quick learner from St Peters, MO says:
November 23, 2012
They worked. Thanks!!

Rolling Stone #541 — December 15, 1988
Nelson, Lucky, Otis, Charlie T. Jr. and Lefty Wilbury, a.k.a. George Harrison. Bob Dylan, Tom Petty and Roy Orbison, respectively, released their debut album as the Traveling Wilburys. The project was conceived when Harrison, Petty, Lynne and Orbison were having dinner together in L.A. and Harrison mentioned he needed a new song for the B side of an upcoming single. The following day, they all gathered at Bob Dylan's house, where they wrote and recorded "Handle with Care." The rest is history.
Traveling Wilburys: Volume One | Wilbury/Warner Bros.
Rolling Stone #541 — December 15, 1988
Anyone remember the Masked Marauders? Nineteen years ago, in these very pages, there was a review of an album by a twenty-four-karat supergroup of that name featuring Sixties rock gods Bob Dylan, John Lennon, Paul McCartney, Mick Jagger and George Harrison getting down and dirty on songs like "I Can't Get No Nookie" and "I'm the Japanese Sandman." The review, of course, was a fraud, and the Marauders didn't exist. (A phony Marauders record later made to capitalize on the prank wasn't half as funny.) Anyways, the Traveling Wilburys are a kind of '88-model Marauders, a mysterious supergroup playing for fun and laying it down for posterity. Except this time the Wilburys are real and there is no mystery as to who they are — Dylan, Harrison, Tom Petty, Roy Orbison and Jeff Lynne. Also, the record is real good, as these things go. Dylan is in finer voice than he's been on his own records of plate; his wicked parody of Springsteen in "Tweeter and the Monkey Man" is quite a hoot, too. Orbison, who's never been in anything less than fine voice, turns the tear ducts on full blast in "Not Alone Any More," while Petty, the junior Wilbury, more than holds his own with the Big O in "Last Night." The spotless Lynne-Harrison production belies the homey tone of the project, but there is more than enough good singing and writing to suggest the Traveling Wilburys may be onto a good thing here. Long may they roam.

Rochester, Minn.
A variety of liver insults lead to pathological changes in liver architecture that culminate in cirrhosis. While invasive liver biopsy was required to detect cirrhosis, the development of magnetic resonance elastography (MRE) has revolutionized our ability to detect liver fibrosis through non-invasive means that involve measurement of liver stiffness. However, a number of pathological findings occur in liver in response to various insults that precede cirrhosis and are clinically important to identify such as steatosis associated with NASH, inflammation associated with viral hepatitis, and congestion associated with cardiac hepatopathy. Detection of such entities provides essential diagnostic, prognostic, and treatment information but yet is not available non-invasively. Recent murine studies from this group of investigators has identified that MRE technology can be adapted to non-invasively detect these conditions. Implementing this into the practice will transform it by obviating the need for invasive liver biopsies in patients suspected of having such forms of suspected liver disease. This will differentiate Mayo from other institutions where such technology is not available.
An additional aim of this study is to examine the impact of obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) on the pathogenesis of nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD), both common comorbidities of obesity. Recent evidence indicates a potential link between OSA and severity of NASH and fibrosis, but the mechanisms of OSA- associated hypoxia on liver disease progression in NAFLD is unclear. This study offers the unique opportunity to analyze this association, as the study population will undergo routine evaluation for OSA, as part as the preoperative work-up prior to bariatric surgery.
The purpose of this study is to assess changes that occur in the intestine microbe environment of obese people as they perticipate in a structured diet and lifestyle modification.
The purpose of this study is to see why the ability of fat cells to respond to insulin is different depending on body shape and how fat tissue inflammation is involved.
Scottsdale/Phoenix, Ariz.
This study is being done to better understand the relationship between inflammation and insulin resistance in your Adipose (fat) Tissue .
A prospective, multicenter, open-label, post-approval study of the safety and effectiveness of ORBERA™ as an adjunct to weight reduction for obese adults (22 years of age and older) with a Body Mass Index (BMI) of ≥ 30 kg/m2 and BMI ≤ 40 kg/m2
Investigators are doing this research study to find out the effect of T6 dermatomal electrical stimulation (delivered by a Transcutaneous Electrical Nerve Stimulation (TENS) unit) on appetite and weight loss.
La Crosse, Wis., Albert Lea, Minn., Eau Claire, Wis., Mankato, Minn., Scottsdale/Phoenix, Ariz., Jacksonville, Fla., Rochester, Minn.
This randomized phase III trial studies whether weight loss in overweight and obese women may prevent breast cancer from coming back (recurrence). Previous studies have found that women who are overweight or obese when their breast cancer is found (diagnosed) have a greater risk of their breast cancer recurring, as compared to women who were thinner when their cancer was diagnosed. This study aims to test whether overweight or obese women who take part in a weight loss program after being diagnosed with breast cancer have a lower rate of cancer recurrence as compared to women who do not take part in the weight loss program. This study will help to show whether weight loss programs should be a part of breast cancer treatment.
This research study is being done to evaluate the reliability and reproducibility of an infrared 3D scanner and an iPad app in measuring body measurements in participants.
The main objective of this study is to establish a national pediatric obesity registry known as POWER (Pediatric Obesity Weight Evaluation Registry). This registry will contain clinical data from individual comprehensive pediatric weight management programs around the United States for overweight and obese youth.
The overall goal of this study is the prospective evaluation of children with severe combined immunodeficiency and related disorders who are treated under a variety of protocols at multiple participating institutions. The study aims to identify variables contributing to the best outcomes for stem cell transplant as treatment for severe combined immunodeficiency disorder.
