Where high fantasy and low-brow speech battle it out on the page.
Image; 28 pgs FC; $2.99
(W/A: Peter Bergting)
Deliverance (not the movie) and the restoration of balance seem to be the overarching themes of Peter Bergting's recent series, The Portent, which centers upon a prophesized warrior's arrival to an abandoned outpost in the middle of the deadlands in order to rescue a young woman, a soldier, and a group of wizened seers. Throughout the story, Bergting emphasizes the necessity of binaries, of good and evil in balance.
For Bergting, however, it looks like the evil spirits of writing have won out on this first installment. Chockablock with shoddy dialogue that wavers from a weird marriage of high fantasy and modern English to the juvenile back-and-forth-ings between the Portent and the young woman, one wonders if the real challenge of this story isn't the reading of it.
Rushed would be the operative word for this first issue, the story zipping through a basic lofty introduction about the dichotomy of man to his ancestors (read: spirits) before skimming over the Makkurkalve, some half-robot, half-spirit device that escapes, presumably to join the army that forms later outside the outpost. If readers are having trouble picturing this scene, just think of the Helm's Deep battle from Lord of the Rings: The Two Towers minus all the good guys but Strider.
Still, Bergting does leave readers on a cliffhanger, which might be the opportunity he needs to write himself out of the slump that is issue one. Aside from the occasional disproportionate character, the illustrations are generally moody and expressive. Bergting renders the characters interestingly within the grim landscape, often in warmer tones, which contrast the overpowering grays and blues of the deadlands. With the hope of finding out more about the Makkurkalve and just how the Portent will make his way out of his current predicament there are definitely some reasons to continue reading the story, but at this point, it's a coin-toss.

Sorry the blog has been quiet today. I've been in San Francisco since Thursday. I thought I would share a found image of Amoeba Records in Haight-Ashbury, a part of the city we spent some time in yesterday. We did lots of shopping, eating, walking and exploring yesterday. We also, of course, spent a good bit of time hunting around Amoeba Music and left with some excellent purchases!! We stumbled upon some incredible and unique shops. San Francisco is an amazing city! More to come…

Top Gun Over Moscow Trailer (2006)
"A close up look at the Russian Air Force's heart stopping aerial maneuvers." 23 October 2006 Factual 60 mins
Nova visits Russia for Nova: Top Gun Over Moscow, a thorough look at the sleekest and most powerful Russian jets. In a word, they are tough. These jets are engineered quite differently from their American counterparts. They function well in adverse conditions, able to take off from open dirt fields, and their continuous operation doesn't depend on regular maintenance. The U.S. jet is finely tuned, requiring more frequent upkeep, but definitely having a high-tech edge, particularly in the areas of radar and missile guidance. Interviews with pilots reveal a very different outlook between the two countries on training goals.

A Brief Overview of AO
The sport governing body for track and field in Canada, now called Athletics Canada, was established in 1889 and is one of the oldest affiliated bodies with the International Association of Athletics Federations (IAAF), fourth only to Great Britain (1880), New Zealand (1887), and the USA (1888). Athletics Ontario (formerly the Ontario Track and Field Association) is a branch of Athletics Canada.
Until 1974, Ontario was split into three governing bodies, Southwestern, Northwestern, and Central. However, there was an interest in establishing a more efficient means of developing the sport while maintaining a system which would still enable regions to have a voice regarding major decisions in the province. As a result a new provincial association, composed of six newly defined regions was formed in 1974, and in October 1977 the Ontario Track and Field Association became an incorporated body.
Today the regions of AO have been assimilated and, while they continue to operate locally and regionally, they no longer have direct representation on the Board of Directors. The AO President, Vice President and several others with specific portfolios, representing various facets of the sport, sit on the Provincial Board of Directors.
Every club may be represented at the AO Annual General Meeting and may vote if they have 5 members. A copy of the By-Laws of the OTFA is available on request, along with the Association Policy and Procedures Handbook. The main objectives of Athletics Ontario are:
- promote and encourage participation from the grass roots level through to the very highest level of proficiency
- assist coaches, officials and club executives in fulfilling their goals
- establish an authority which can voice the concerns and desires of members to the appropriate bodies
Track and Field Programs
AO sponsors programs for athletes from the beginner to the Olympian. The range of activities includes:
- Developmental competition to encourage participation at the grass roots level
- Developmental camps and clinics (offered by regions)
- Developmental programs like Fun in Athletics and Run, Jump and Throw
- Step Up to Excellence
- Summer invitationals and all comers meets
- Championships for the indoor season, outdoor season and cross country
- The Ontario Summer Games
- Access to travel and training camp grants
- Assistance for Ontario Team travel
- Accident insurance
Five levels are currently recognized for track and field coaches. Technical courses at Levels I, II and III are now available to any coach. Following successful completion of Technical Courses, coaches may apply for Practical Certification, which carries a coaching experience requirement. Coaches may concurrently take Theory Certification courses, which are sport-general courses administered by the Ministry Health Promotion.
Coaches registered with AO receive benefits including reduced fees for services, access to grants, reduced fees for courses and voting privileges.
An Accreditation program, consisting of five grades, is also available to officials. Officials achieve different grade levels by passing examinations, attending seminars and working under supervision at a prescribed number of competitions. Officials may work in a host of disciplines including Starter, Umpire, Throws Judge and many others. Officials who are members of AO also receive benefits including reduced fees, an Officials bulletin and assistance for travel to selected competitions.

Putting Quebec on the map! Dec 27, 2007
Diss america head north and come to quebec city! :)
Quick Facts:
1)Quebec is the only canadian province whose population speaks french. And no, our french is different from european french.. although they have similarities but they arent 100% alike. take american english to british english.. not really a good comparison but that will do i guess..its the slang/use of words that makes us different from european french.
2)Celine dion is our "idol".. we worship her like a god here. lol
( fiction) but shes from quebec.
3)The world's biggest meteor crater is located in Quebec. :)
the best time to come is before the leaf falls. Last Sunday of winter where trees in the yard starts to lose their leaves.. a sign of a waking gorgeous quebec. If you want to see a very nice scenery the good place is in Mount St-Hilaire it's near Montreal or a place that i love is Mount Tremblant, for me it's the best.
and for food my personal favorite is casse-Crepe Breton, located in 1136 rue Saint-Jean. cheap crepes, starting at about $5 (canadian dollars). and for chocoholics we have choco-musee erico its a small museum of chocolate, its all about chocolates and their history.. the best part is its free admission :)
there are only 2 ice hotels in the world and one is located here! :) starts january to 1st week of april. its a must seee! theres so much to say about quebec but so little time :) just mail me or something if you want more information. viva quebec!

Mix all of the ingredients together and store it in the fridge overnight. So very easy, or so I thought! When I woke this morning, all I could think about was that delicious pudding. Then, like a scene straight out of a horror movie, I discovered the pudding never set!
What had I done wrong? I'd followed the directions exactly! I decided it was time to do some research and learned two very possible reasons that it didn't set.
- I did not add enough seeds to the mixture.
- It needed room temperature ingredients and at least 20 minutes of constant stirring before it could be refrigerated.
While I'm extremely disappointed in my results, I've decided I'll try making this pudding again in the near future and hope for good results that I can share with my readers.

Watch your language. Couldn't you just say that she cursed. You know, some of the good things about Rick Riordan's writing is that he leaves it appropriate for all ages yet still keeps it entertaining for the older people. Honestly I thought you could write better than that. I know I'm gonna sound like some stuck up critic here but where's the action and I also know that it is too late for you to change any of the chapters and that you probably don't read your reviews this far after you've finished but for my sake I hope it gets better from now on.
| Haha Pseudonym chapter 8 . 11/3/2012
So did you bring up your B in Math? speaking of which a B isn't so bad do you usually get A's or something? i should get A's but my teacher decided to give A's out very sparingly which is kinda stupid since i rock so hard at math. So hard that I bea everyone in my year but got a B. Nice chapter you've put on this page

Wound Closure Products Market Research Report by Key Players Analysis
A new research report published by Transparency Market Research states that the global wound closure products market will grow at a CAGR of 6.30% from 2014 to 2020. According to the recent market research report, titled "Wound Closure Products Market – Global Industry Analysis, Size, Share, Growth, Trends and Forecast 2015 – 2023", the global wound closure products market was valued at US$8.7 bn in 2014 and is expected to reach US$15.2 bn by the end of 2023. This market will mainly be driven by the increasing number of surgical procedures across the globe.
Wounds that lead to infections and sepsis are common in the case of injuries, diabetic complications, and surgical procedures. Incorrect treatment of these or any other kind of wounds can lead to irreversible complications or even amputation. Another terrible outcome of wounds during surgeries and trauma is excessive blood loss, which can take a fatal turn if not treated properly and in time. Owing to these reasons, wound closure is given utmost importance in every situation and in every treatment unit.
Read Full Report: http://www.transparencymarketresearch.com/wound-closure-products.html
The most commonly used would closure products are wound closure strips, staples, sutures, hemostats, adhesives, and tissue sealants. Most of the acute wounds and post-surgical wounds use staples and sutures for closing the wounds. However, their market is fragmented in nature, as it has a huge number of local as well as international players. The only restraint for the staples and sutures segment is that they need surgical removal after the wound has healed. Companies are trying to overcome this obstacle by developing absorbable sutures, which will dissolve or degrade as the wound heals. The sutures segment is further segmented into the absorbable and non-absorbable sutures segments, wherein the former is responsible for the rapid growth of the sutures segment.
Download exclusive Sample of this report: http://www.transparencymarketresearch.com/sample/sample.php?flag=S&rep_id=5429
The newer types of wound closure products such as adhesives and tissue sealants are gaining popularity, as they considerably reduce the time taken for healing and would closure. This segment is inclusive of collagen-based sealants, polymer-based sealants, fibrin sealants, albumin and glutaraldehyde sealants, and cyanoacrylate-based sealants.
Out of the aforementioned, tissue sealants are used with staples or sutures in specific surgical procedures. Heart valve replacement procedures and bariatric surgeries are common examples of this kind of usage of wound closure products.
The wound closure products market report profiles some of the key players in this market, such as B. Braun, Covidien plc, Baxter International, Inc., Cryolife, and Johnson & Johnson (Ethicon). The report offers an insight into the company profile, financial overview, research and development activities, the list of existing products and those in the pipeline, marketing and business strategies, and investment outlook for the near future.

Shadows from My Past Trailer (2014)
29 August 2014 History, Factual, Family 86 mins
SHADOWS FROM MY PAST interweaves the tragic fate of one Austrian Jewish Family from Vienna. Letters written from 1939 - 1941 as they were trying to save their children and each other reverberate to today. SHADOWS features many face-to-face, unrehearsed interviews with contemporary Austrians and near past contemporary interviews including Simon Wiesenthal, Kurt Waldheim, President Heinz Fischer, Theodore Bikel, Jorg Haider, survivors and many others. SHADOWS interweaves the memories of Gita Kaufman's family with Austria's present perceptions with Austria's present perceptions of its role in the persecution and deportation of Jews during World War II. SHADOWS underlines the need for Holocaust memory preservation, tolerance education, and serves as a warning for today.

Cyber Arms Intelligence Report for July 13
Here is a look at what's going on in the Cyber Security world Today:
The White House plan to safeguard cyberspace
The plan to "reduce cybersecurity vulnerabilities and improve online privacy protections" floated in June by Howard Schmidt, the Cybersecurity Coordinator and Special Assistant to the President, is comprehensive and an important step in the right direction.
Apple ranks first in surging security bug count
The number of vulnerabilities in the first half of 2010 was close to the number recorded in the whole of 2009, security notification firm Secunia reports.
Zeus Version 3 – Target Spain, Germany, UK, and USA Banks
Zbot or Zeus bots are part of crimeware toolkit which is available for cyber crime operation designed to steal user's information and banking credentials. Zeus bot's malicious behavior is defined by its server-side configuration file which contains all the list of targeted financial institution and online services. In earlier versions, Zeus handles this configuration file in a way that security researchers can easily manage to reverse engineer and capture the actual full configuration content. This is no longer the case for the latest Zeus bot version 3, which is already in the wild.
Project Vigilant(e)
The word on the street is that a community of undercover counter-cybercrime professionals has stepped into light after a decade of covert operations. This group has secretly met in back alley chat rooms and exchanged information on specially secured forums. They have supplied our law enforcement and federal agencies with intelligence, technical support, and expertise that is only gained from years in the industry. Project Vigilant, as they're called, has been secretly working behind the scenes of the FBI, CIA, NSA and others in the ever-growing war on cybercrime.
Can Your Google Adsense Account Be Hacked?
Google Adsense is the #1 revenue sharing network that has more than 1 million publishers. However, the exact number of adsense publishers can possibly be much higher than what Google has announced. But, that is not what I want to share in this post. The issue that one and maybe many adsense publishers have experienced seems very serious related to adsense system security and it can lead to your account hacking.
What's This Mysterious White House Cyber Event About?
The Department of Homeland Security and the White House are putting together what people in the industry bill as some sort of a "major" event on cyber security on Wednesday, but the White House hasn't said word one about it to the press. So, from the Internet Security Alliance, here's a press release that helpfully fills in some of the details:
3 Responses to "Cyber Arms Intelligence Report for July 13"
Top-Secret cyber arms meetings? Hmmm sounds cool. I want in.
I cannot believe that the bad guys own the field in the cyber realm. More likely that their acts are just more in the open. From what I've been able to gather from various sources, America's cyber capabilities are well known and much feared throughout the world.
Good to see that we're being pro-active enough that our actions are starting to come into the light.
sadly not surprising. in a case like that one has to wonder whether there wasnt some intent there. like all the Ak's that went "missing" a few years ago in Iraq only to end up in the hands of turkish and iranian rebels….

Hungary > Overview
last update: May 2011
For many refugees and migrants Hungary is a transit country to Central and Northern Europe. Crossing the border (in the east via Ukraine, in the south from Greece via Serbia) a serious risk of illegal push-back ("refoulement") is given, even if a person applies for asylum. A high percentage tries to continue the journey after having been registered. Many are later deported back to Hungary under the Dublin Regulation. In fact, the recognition rates for single groups (in particular Somalis) tend to be high in comparison to other European countries. This is, however, contrasted by the harsh social conditions.
The government implemented a stricter new asylum legislation in December 2010. It includes an extension of the maximum length of detention from up to 6 months now to 12 months. Almost without exception all asylum seekers and Dublin returnees are detained. Since the beginning of 2010 the detention capacities increased from 282 to approximately 700 detention places. Massive protests broke out at all of these detention centres all summer 2010. All this went almost unnoticed by the public.
The social and economical conditions are harsh. Recognised asylum seekers are only entitled to accommodation for 6 months, which can be extended by a further 6 months. Afterwards they are likely to face homelessness. Jobs are very difficult to find. Hungarian is one of the most difficult languages in Europe, access to language courses and other kind of education is often not given. Refugees (and in particular, traumatised refugees) are often unable to find the means to survive. Furthermore family reunifications are made de facto impossible especially for Somalis by the non-recognition of Somali passports or any substitute documents.
Unaccompanied minor refugees have so far been accommodated in Bicske. In the future, they will be accommodated in ordinary children's homes, presumably in the "Children Village" in Fot. In some cases even minors have been (illegally) detained as well. In many cases their dates of birth were altered.

Any official word on whether we can still expect Jabba to go with his favorite decoration?
We got one of the final production samples in this week so I did a quick unboxing video of the new PG exclusive Han in Carbonite:

And the Gentle Giant Limited logo doesn't actually detract as I thought it would - which is good.
Just watched your coin removal technique... tut tut Dan. You could have got an artist scalpel blade to access the coin, instead of ripping it out like that.
In case it wasn't obvious I love the packaging as much as the figures themselves.
The engineering that goes into those bubbles is amazing when done well... I'm still in awe of my Power Droid bubble! Sad but true.
This HIC bubble is large enough for my only major "wanted" jumbo item remaining - Amanaman. Still, thanks for the video upload.

Hardware Drivers are very important for a computer system to run properly to its optimum limits. Real Gaming on Ubuntu would be possible only after Driver installation. This post will cover the basic methods of installing Hardware Drivers in Ubuntu. We will try to make things as simple as possible. When it comes to Laptops, Ubuntu has always configured the present external card easily and the install was just 1 click away and most of the times, the case is same with Desktops as well but sometimes, things dont work as they are supposed to. For that, we have some mitigation strategies so that your hardware driver installation is not halted because of some bug or the other 🙂
Fundamental Method
This method is the most basic method of installing Hardware Drivers in Ubuntu. This method works for all kinds of cards irrespective of tags (ATI/Nvidia). All you need to do after Ubuntu installation is –
- Connect to internet and wait for the pop-up to appear.
- Click on it and it will show "Available Drivers" for the present hardware configuration.
- Click "Activate" and the drivers will be installed easily. Then reboot the system.
If somehow, you donot see any popup or you loose it or cancel it, dont worry. All you need to do its to browse to System>Administation>Additional Drivers and click "Activate" and the available driver will be installed. After that reboot your computer and enjoy 3D effects Ubuntu as well. This method works 90% of times with most hardware. The images below will make you understand better –
Alter : Synaptic Method
Synaptic Package Manager can also be easily used to install Nvidia/ATI drivers in Ubuntu.
Open "Synaptic Package Manager" from System>Administration and search for 'nvidia'. Now select 'nvidia-current','nvidia-current-modaliases', 'nvidia-common', 'nvidia-settings' and mark them for installation. Apply changes and wait for the processed to complete. That should be it. Reboot your computer and its done.
Open "Synaptic Package Manager" from System>Administration and search for 'fglrx'. Now select 'fglrx','fglrx-amdccle', 'fglrx-modaliases' & 'xserver-xorg-video-radeon' and mark them for installation. Apply changes and wait for the processed to complete. Thats it. Reboot and done.
If the methods used above doesnt work for you, then the below are the best possible approaches to get things done. Be very careful while using them as you might land up in trouble.
Nvidia Driver Installation
Method I – PPA
A good news for all Nvidia card owners is that there is a PPA available that is regularly updated on launchpad. So you can directly use it to install your drivers, just type the following commands in sequence and its done.
sudo add-apt-repository ppa:ubuntu-x-swat/x-updates
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install nvidia-current nvidia-current-modaliases nvidia-settings
Reboot and enjoy !
Method II – Manual Install
There are some prerequisites for manual install and you need to be very careful while following these steps. First, make sure that your /etc/X11/xorg.conf is backed up.
sudo cp /etc/X11/xorg.conf /etc/X11/xorg.conf.backup
Next, download drivers for your system from the download page. Open a terminal, and run the following command:
uname -r
and now insert the output into the "uname -r" portion of this command (sudo apt-get install build-essential linux-headers-`uname -r`) carefully as done below:
sudo apt-get install build-essential linux-headers-2.6.38-8-generic
Now, we are ready. For Ubuntu, type
sudo /etc/init.d/gdm stop
OR for Kubuntu:
sudo /etc/init.d/kdm stop
First navigate from the tty to the directory where you saved the install file (I will use /path/to/installer), then set executable permissions on it:
cd ~/Downloads
sudo chmod +x NVIDIA-Linux-x86-270.41.06.run
You can start the install script with the following command:
sudo sh NVIDIA-Linux-x86-270.41.06.run
The installer will now walk you through the steps required. Afater comletion, you can now restart your X11 using:
sudo /etc/init.d/gdm start
sudo /etc/init.d/kdm start
Now you can now change settings for your video setup. In Ubuntu, go to Applications->System Tools->NVIDIA X Server Settings and set your desktop accordingly.
ATI Driver Installation
Method I – PPA
There is a PPA available for ATI users on Launchpad which can be used to install ATI drivers on Ubuntu –
sudo add-apt-repository ppa:xorg-edgers/ppa
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install xserver-xorg-video-ati xserver-xorg-video-radeonhd
and reboot your computer. We didnt had any ATI cards for testing so, we are relying on launchpad and google for this one. Any help would be much appreciated in this case.
Method II – Manual Install
Prerequisites -> Open the terminal and type –
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install libqtgui4
Download the drivers from HERE, and open the Terminal and type:
cd ~/Downloads
This is not necessary if you are running Kubuntu or have already installed the libraries. In the Terminal, to create the deb files, type:
sudo sh ati-driver-installer-11-3-x86.x86_64.run –buildpkg Ubuntu/maverick
To install the created deb files, type in the Terminal:
sudo dpkg -i *.deb
After that, type in:
sudo aticonfig –initial
Close the Terminal and reboot the system.
If all is right, the fglrx driver that corresponds to AMD/ATI Catalyst 11.2 will be installed and working on your system. To confirm the drivers are working open a Terminal and type:
and you will see your card info displayed. Reboot and enjoy your Ubuntu desktop to its maximum!
Ubuntu 11.04 Compiz effects ->
Unity 3D Workspaces ->
Thats it for now. We will be back with more later on. For any queries regarding Drivers or any other regarding Ubuntu, ask us here freely.
Njoy !

The Standard and Poor's 500 just finished lower for the fourth straight day.
This ends a streak of 264 trading days without four consecutive losing sessions, the longest such streak in 87 years, according to Chris Kimble of Kimble Charting Solutions.
In 2014, the S&P 500 didn't have a single four-day losing streak, the first year since 1928 that the benchmark stock index didn't see four straight days of losses.
Last week, we noted that the S&P 500 finished one year and began the next with losing sessions for the first time since 2008. Add in the loss of what was a really impressive streak, and it hasn't been the best start to the year for stocks.
Here's the table, via Kimble's Tumblr page, showing the longest streaks without four losing days:

intermittent wireless stalls
Sorry if the subject is cryptic but its about the best way to explain the issues.
basically, sometimes l could be browsing and for no reason l get DNS errors with both firefox and IE, at these times my router also becomes inaccessible when it happens.
before ppl ask it has happened with two different wireless dongles (one branded Zoom and the current branded Tenda) furthermore when it originally started l assumed it to be the dongle which is why lm using the Tenda USB adapter, the strangest part being that when it originally started l was using a different setup, lve since done a rebuild and the only things that have stayed the same is my storage hard drives (everything else is different).
now you may point fingers at my router however lm not so sure thats the culprit because l also have a laptop which doesnt suffer these issues which also connects wirelessly and l have experienced this problem while using my laptop where my system just sort of stalls wireless traffic, you may ask about security software which l shall add is pretty much the same (l use bitdefender and peerblock the only addition being there maybe a few more lists added to the affected system tho disabling doesnt seem to help when the issue occurs).
all l can say is in addition to browser issues with browsing, sometimes my IRC client will disconnect from the chat server l run (its usually open all the time) so l guess the timeout periods dont always kick in when it happens and also skype will have trouble staying connected. l have updated my drivers in the past week and it hasnt happened as much (touch wood) as it did before but its still happening what l can tell you is the adapter lm currently using is a W302U (which lve just found out is discontinued) and the driver lm using is for the chipset rather than from the makers site because l originally found it ran better than Tenda's own software as it lacked all the crap that came with it.
|My System Specs
|31 Jan 2012
Systems 1 and 2: Windows 7 Enterprise x64, Win 8 Developer
If you plug your pc directly to the router do you still have problems? In either event, go back to wireless for the next questions...
Are your Zoom and Tendra dongles both old (pre-Windows 7)? What are the specific model numbers?
If you try pinging an ip address, do you note dropped packets?
If yes to the ping question, if you ping your router do you have any problems?
If you boot into safe mode with networking, do you have intermittent internet problems?
|My System Specs
|31 Jan 2012
never been into safe mode and pinged.. however the fact that my laptop has no problems when it happens and lve happened to have it turned on seems to indicate a local problem. l admit lve not tried pinging my router when it happens.
tho l did notice now l think about it that occasionally when it happens l skype has been able to send and receive messages.. its only recently skype looses connectivity when it happens. l will admit the tenda is pre-win7 however the zoom adapter was purchased at the same time l got windows 7 because originally the hardware testing tool l had said the old card wouldnt work and considering the issue has affected two different systems it just seems strange.. tho in the case of my current adapter it feels like small stalls my zoom adapter was loosing the wireless connection which has never happened on my laptop.. in fact it seems to connect faster to the wireless than any of my systems do.
the model of the current is W302U for the life of me l cant remember what the zoom adapter was but l believe it used the same drivers.

Over the last year my main interest has been the study of synaptic potentiation from an animated, quantitative perspective (read: MCMC methods and simulation). Currently, I'm examining the membrane diffusion of neurotransmitter receptors and modeling how these particles swarm and potentiate synapses. It has been an interesting transition into these topics - prior to these projects I worked primarily with brain tissue and mice, but now I find myself spending most of my day programming, running simulations, and working with equations. I'm not sure why, but I find diffusion quite interesting. Stochastic diffusion, like that in Brownian motion, is a pure actuation of the basic properties of statistics - probability distributions in particular. Given that synaptic potentiation is directly mediated by stochastic diffusion and synaptic capture of receptors, it seem that neurons have evolved into innate statistical computers. The result of 100 billion of these statistical computers making 100 trillion connections is the human brain.
update: I'm back doing bench neuroscience and FLIM on the 2-photon :)
It is now generally accepted that many forms of adaptive behavior, including learning and memory, engender lasting physiological changes in the brain; reciprocally, neural plasticity among the brain's synaptic connections provides the capacity for learning and memory. Whenever I have to summarize my primary research focus using just a few words, they always include: "synaptic plasticity". Indeed, I feel that the key to fully understanding cognitive processes like memory formation is through studying neural dynamics at the cellular-network, synaptic, and molecular levels.
The study of actin dynamics is centrally important to understanding synaptic plasticity. Fortunately, actin research has provided a vast pool of experimental studies, and several quantitative models that provide excellent characterizations of actin polymerization kinetics. To simulate filament scaffolding in a dendritic model, I developed a stochastic 3D model of actin dynamics based on parameters from previously established in steady-state (Bindschadler 2004, Yarmola 2008), monte carlo (Halavatyi 2008) and stochastic (Mogilner 2006) models. The ability to simulate the evolution of actin networks in 3D makes this model unique. The media player is loading...
Brain Molecular Pathways Project
This project aims to provide annotated sets of molecular pathways involved in neural plasticity underlying learning and memory systems. In general, biological pathways display the series of interactions among molecules resulting in functional changes within cells and neural networks. Currently there are large scale projects dedicated to amassing pathway evidence via high-throughput methods. The goal is to translate this unwieldy biopathway data from several empirical databases into visually digestible material, by characterizing the features of molecular cascades most sensitive to an event of interest (e.g. fear conditioning or amphetamine addiction).
Brain Functional Connectome Project
A connectome is a comprehensive map of the neural networks within the brain. It details the efferent and afferent pathways within and between brain regions. Functional Connectivity refers to the function of a particular brain region and its information processing role within a distributed neural network. The goal of this project is to create a platform where users can jump into the connectome at any given brain region and visually navigate to upstream and downstream regions; along the way, users can learn about the functional role of each brain region. All information has been collected from empirical sources and scientific databases, in particular, the Allan Brain Atlas.

Of the seven species of sea turtles, six are found in American and Caribbean waters, and all are currently listed on the IUCN Red List of Threatened Species. Though causes of population declines vary slightly from species to species and between countries, a common thread is humans. People living in some coastal communities unsustainably harvest adult turtles and their eggs for consumption, cosmetics, jewelry, and other products, despite many national laws prohibiting it. Unsustainable coastal development can degrade or destroy sea turtle nesting sites and their coral reef habitats, and incidental capture in fishing gear kills thousands of sea turtles off the shores of the Americas and the Caribbean Islands annually.
Four sea turtle species have critically important nesting beaches in Central America: hawksbill (Eretmochelys imbricata), green (Chelonia mydas), olive ridley (Lepidochelys olivacea), and leatherback (Dermochelys coriacea). Conservationist Brad Nahill recently visited several of these nesting sites in El Salvador and Nicaragua to observe the work being done on a local level by marine biologists and nonprofit organizations to protect sea turtles. Nahill – a wildlife activist, journalist, and co-founder of SEEtheWILD, a wildlife conservation tourism initiative – has been working in sea turtle conservation, ecotourism, and environmental education in the Americas for more than 12 years.
Nahill's first stop was Toluca, a small village on El Salvador's central coast. Historically, El Salvadorians have consumed more than 95 percent of the sea turtle eggs laid in the country. In 2009, the country's Ministry of Environment and Natural Resources enacted a complete and permanent ban on the sale and consumption of sea turtles and their products, such as their eggs or jewelry made from their shells, which has had both economic and cultural implications.
In Toluca, Nahill met with Enriqueta Ramírez, the leader of a national sea turtle conservation organization called ViVAZUL. Ramírez is tackling the long-standing, male-dominated tradition of "turtling," where local men harvest eggs and sell them on the black market. Income earned from egg poaching often comprises a significant portion of household income – Nahill estimates that one turtle nest of 140 eggs is worth more than ten percent of the average monthly income in this area.
Nahill attended a meeting in which Ramírez spoke to an audience of about 50 tortugueros, as the egg poachers are called in Spanish, who are participating in a USAID-funded incentive program, where they are directly compensated for collecting turtle eggs and bringing them to hatcheries instead of selling them. Now two years old, the program has been a success – but Ramírez and other sea turtle conservationists in the area believe this approach is unsustainable over the long term. Besides the challenges of securing continual funding, the cultural aspects of "turtling" persist; for decades, tortugueros have met up every night for what they still describe as a "sport" or "pastime," and demand for the eggs on the black market remains high, partially due to the long-held belief that they are a powerful aphrodisiac.
In addition to managing hatcheries, ViVAZUL also brings local children to participate in sea turtle hatchling releases, hoping that the experience will instill in them a lasting affinity for sea turtles and a conservation ethic. This approach underscores a hope that the next generation will foster a shift in the perceived value of sea turtles and wildlife in general.
Traveling south along the Pacific coast, Nahill's next two stops were Jiquilisco Bay in El Salvador and Padre Ramos Estuary in Nicaragua. At Jiquilisco Bay, a UNESCO Biosphere Reserve and a RAMSAR site, Nahill joined an impressive team of fellow sea turtle experts: Alex Gaos and Ingrid Yañez, co-founders of the Eastern Pacific Hawksbill Initiative (ICAPO, for its name in Spanish); Jose Urteaga, the head of Fauna & Flora International's (FFI) sea turtle program in Nicaragua; Jeff Seminoff, director of marine turtle research at the National Marine Fisheries Service of the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA); and Randall Arauz, founder of Pretoma, a leading sea turtle conservation organization in Costa Rica.
Jiquilisco Bay and Padre Ramos Estuary have attracted interest from sea turtle conservationists in recent years due to groundbreaking new research on the critically endangered hawksbill turtle population conducted by Gaos, Yañez, Urteaga, and Seminoff, along with several other marine scientists. Before their study, it was believed that the eastern Pacific hawksbill population was functionally extinct – hawksbills in all other parts of the world dwell almost exclusively in coral reef habitats, and there were virtually no hawksbills to be found among the few coral reefs in the region. In 2008, the team made a breakthrough discovery with incredible ecological implications. Using satellite transmitters, they found a significant number of hawksbill turtles residing in coastal estuarine bays, particularly mangrove saltwater forests. Their 2011 report states that this discovery "probably represents a relatively recent adaptation and possibly a unique evolutionary trajectory for this population."
The turtles led them to Jiquilisco Bay, a mangrove-lined series of inlets and canals that is now known as a critically important hawksbill foraging and nesting site. A few years later, they found more nesting sites in the Padre Ramos Estuary Natural Reserve, a smaller but similar habitat located a few hundred miles south on the coast of Nicaragua. Together, Padre Ramos Estuary and Jiquilisco Bay comprise more than ninety percent of nesting habitat for the entire eastern Pacific hawksbill population.
ICAPO is managing the hawksbill conservation project at Jiquilisco, while FFI has taken the lead at Padre Ramos. Both organizations are working together to collect data on the hawksbills' life cycle and migratory routes and to educate communities to prevent further population declines. They are employing the familiar strategy of paying tortugueros (or careyeros, as they are called in Padre Ramos) to collect eggs and bring them to hatcheries, as well as organizing annual turtle festivals in their respective communities. At Jiquilisco Bay's hawksbill festival, Nahill joined hundreds of local schoolchildren, dignitaries, and community members as they celebrated turtles with a parade and other fun activities. The festival garnered a considerable amount of national media attention—reporters and cameramen accompanied the crowds of people gathered around ICAPO scientists as they placed satellite transmitters on three turtles and released them into the Bay.
Less than one week later, Nahill received the sad news that one of the three turtles had been killed by blast fishing—a practice in which fishermen drop homemade bombs into the water, indiscriminately killing everything within range.
"Blast fishing is probably the number one threat to the turtles in this area," said Nahill. "Not only is it extremely destructive to marine life, it's also really dangerous for the fishermen – they can lose limbs."
Though blast fishing is technically illegal, local politics, loopholes in regulations, and the manpower needed to effectively patrol coastal areas makes the ban extremely difficult to enforce. Organizations are trying to put pressure on the government to step up enforcement and regulation, though the main focus is working directly with the fishers. "These are very community-based organizations," Nahill emphasized. "They prefer to work directly with the local people."
ICAPO and EcoViva, another regional organization, are educating fishers about the dangers and harmful effects of blast fishing and more sustainable alternatives. They're also coordinating patrols of Jiquilisco Bay and providing assistance to local fishing cooperatives who switch from blasting to sustainable fishing practices. In Padre Ramos, FFI is working with fishers to combat incidental capture in fishing gear. Urteaga's team teaches them how to release trapped turtles when they find them in their nets and shrimp trawls and promotes more environmentally-friendly fishing gear.
At the Padre Ramos Estuary, Nahill and the rest of the group set up nets in the estuary in the hopes of catching a male hawksbill to fit with a satellite transmitter. According to Nahill, very little is known about male hawksbills, as they're much harder to catch than females, who are easily accessible when they come ashore to nest.
The final stop on Nahill's trip was the Paso del Istmo, a narrow 12-mile stretch of land between Lake Nicaragua and the Pacific Ocean, whose coastline is home to critically important green and olive ridley turtle nesting beaches. Nahill met with Liza González, who is the Nicaragua Country Director of the NGO Paso Pacífico. Paso Pacífico launched a coastal-marine research project in 2011 to contribute to the scientific understanding of sea turtle ecology and improve management practices. The project is divided into five components: habitat mapping, citizen science, sustainable fisheries, beach and reef ranger training, and community outreach and environmental education.
Paso Pacífico is also employing ecotourism to promote sea turtle conservation, as it is a sustainable economic incentive for communities to preserve wildlife and their habitats.
"I've seen a transformation take place in communities when people realize that tourists will come from far away to see their turtles alive," explains Nahill. "It helps to effect a change in mindset when they realize that preserving these creatures is a long-term investment that is beneficial for the development of their community."
A type of ecotourism called volunteer tourism, in which travelers volunteer in a foreign country, can provide an added benefit for conservation organizations. Nahill is the founder of a "voluntourism" project called SEE Turtles that connects travelers with sea turtle conservation projects in Latin America and the Caribbean.
"Sea turtle conservation is especially well-suited for volunteer tourism because you don't have to be a biologist to do it," said Nahill. "If you can do simple things like use a tape measure and write down numbers, you can be a huge help to these projects."
Many sea turtle projects are shorthanded because they lack the budget to hire staff. In particular, patrolling long, winding coastlines for egg poachers and blast fishers requires a considerable amount of manpower. Volunteers assist beach patrols as well as data collection, hatchling releases, and other activities. Since its inception in 2008, SEE Turtles has sent 10-20 volunteers each year to help organizations such as Paso Pacífico and ICAPO, and Nahill expects that number to increase dramatically in the next few years.
Nahill himself started out as a volunteer on a sea turtle conservation project in Costa Rica over a decade ago. He was inspired by the beauty of these creatures, and that short but profound experience ended up turning into a career.
"It's definitely not for everyone," said Nahill. "The work can be tiring, and some of these places are fairly rural and rustic. But for the people who can get past that, it can be life-changing."

XML or Extensible Markup Language defines a set of rules that are used for the purpose of encoding documents that are easily understood both by machines and humans. The very same XML representation when made in Lotus Notes is referred as DXL. DXL is used for designing Lotus Domino elements such as views, documents and forms as well. In other words, DXL can be defined as a version of XML that gives detailed description of the structure and the data residing in a Notes database.
Lotus Domino DTD (Document Type Definition) file defines the structure of DXL. This can be found at the location IBM/lotus/notes/xmlschemas. DTD contains definition of XML tags that are used to validate external XML documents that are converted to DXL or to validate data while converting DXL.
The primary elements of DXL are:
The entities which function as data types lie binary, hex, integer, Boolean, unid and notesid.
The entities which re referenced in other elements or entities are referred as common entities. They are levels, length, pixel, color, etc.
These are all the elements that belong to DTD. They define the type of data that is stored in the Notes database or NTF template.
DXL files need installation of Lotus Notes in order to give a preview of the data stored within them. This is the pre-requisite that is mandatory and needs to be fulfilled for accessing DXL data. However, installing Lotus Notes just for the sake of viewing DXL files is not a wise choice. The users might want an alternate way in order to access the DXL data without making investment in Lotus Notes.
However, for Outlook users, there exists a way by which the users can access DXL file without installing Notes. The users can convert DXL to MSG file, which can be later on imported in Outlook. This process can be performed with the help of professional tool like DXL To MSG Converter.
It is an effectual utility designed with the aim of converting DXL files to MSG format with ease. The software supports the conversion of bulk DXL files as well, the software retains the rich text elements of DXL file while converting them into MSG formats. The user can name the output MSG files with different names on the basis of Subject, Subject + Date, etc. The software offers three options in relation with the hierarchy of DXL file while conversion. Maintain Hierarchy option maintains the hierarchy of the DXL file. The Flat Hierarchy option does not maintain the hierarchy and the last option Store At Source Location option saves the converted files at the source location of DXL files.
Accessing DXL files in absence of Lotus Notes is an impossible task as far as the manual methods are concerned. However, with applications like DXL To MSG Converter, the users can easily access DXL files even in the absence of Lotus Notes.

intense, torrid, well written and better narrated
Everything. I love the storyline, characters and narrator.
When Kitty narrates this
I batted my lashes at him . "I believe I promised you something."
"What did you promise?"
"That you could do anything you wanted to my bum and my bare flower." Ashton's wicked grin reappeared.
"You did promise such. Am I to collect?"
"Bloody hell," he muttered. "You are not teasing me, are you?"
"Good," he said. "Because I have every intention of holding you to your promise with my cock." Then Ashton picked up my foot and kissed my toes. "And perhaps I shall also hold you to your promise with my tongue."
"Good," I replied. "Because my flower has missed your cock and your tongue, my lord."
i listened the first audiobook of this series narrated by Kitty and she jumped into my favorite female narrator ranking to the top and now she exceeds all my expectations. i was captivated by her voice, her french and british accents, the lustful in her voice. yes! that woman knows how to read erotic scenes and i don't feel shame admitting she made me feel aroused as she narrated a few scenes.
