Mistletoe can Slow Cancerous Cell Growth without Side Effects
Research has found that mistletoe, the same plant we stand underneath to get a kiss from someone we adore, can fight cancer – slowing and halting growth of cancer tumors. According to numerous peer-reviewed medical publications, this natural immune booster has killed cancer cells in lab experiments repeatedly. It has effectively treated colon cancer using the Fraxini species that often grows on Ash trees, as well as breast and other common cancers found throughout the world.
"The extracted mistletoes are composed of many biologically active substances. The principle of the mistletoe phytotherapeutics can be considered as combined cytotoxic and biological response modifying activities that result from the activities of the plant lectins and other biologically relevant substances (Zarkovic et al, 2001)"
This particular type of mistletoe, Fraxini, was found to be more effective than chemotherapy at treating cancerous cells in the colon, but other varieties have been known to treat a host of cancers:
Read: 4 Cancer Fighting Foods
"Cancer sites included breast, lung, stomach, colon, rectum, head and neck, kidney, bladder, melanoma, glioma, and genital. Among these studies, statistically significant positive outcomes were reported for survival (n=8), tumor remission (n=1), overall quality of life (n=3), and quality of life in relation to side effects during cytoreductive therapy (n=3) (Kienle et al, 2003)."
The tradition of hanging mistletoe, a shrub with small red berries, might turn out to be worth saving. Although the mistletoe that many of us hang is Phoradendron flavescens, the North American version, multiple varieties of mistletoe, including Viscum album, may live up to the mystical powers that the Greeks once assigned to the plant. This aphrodisiac was once considered to bestow life and protect an individual against poisons, but now we know about mistletoe's ability to slow and halt cancer cell growth.
"Our laboratory studies have shown Fraxini mistletoe extract by itself to be highly effective at reducing the viability of colon cancer cells. At certain concentrations, Fraxini also increased the potency of chemotherapy against the cancer cells.
"Of the three extracts tested, and compared with chemotherapy, Fraxini was the only one that showed a reduced impact on healthy intestinal cells. This might mean that Fraxini is a potential candidate for increased toxicity against cancer, while also reducing potential side effects. However, more laboratory testing is needed to further validate this work," Health Sciences student Zahra Lotfollahi says.

7 responses to "Mistletoe can Slow Cancerous Cell Growth without Side Effects"
Research, clinical observations and patient reports indicate that mistletoe therapy has a range of potential benefits.
These include:
Improved quality of life
generally feeling better
increased appetite and weight
less tired/more energy
reduced pain
better sleep pattern
felling more hopeful and motivated
reduced adverse effects from chemo and radiotherapy
reduced risk of cancer spread and recurrence
increased life expectancy.
What does mistletoe therapy do?
Mistletoe extracts have been shown in studies to:
stimulate the immune system
cause cancer cell death
protect healthy cells against harmful effects of radiation and chemotherapy.
WARNING: Mistletoe is highly toxic and may kill you if consumed. If handled with bare hands, wash your hands immediately.
You know, recycling this old news and STILL REFUSING to warn people is downright stupid. What an incredibly disgusting, reckless act on your behalf. You know very well that the gullible on this site will attempt to consume this plant.
How do you sleep at night??
Mistletoe has small white berries and small round or oval leaves about the size of a dime, found as a parasite in tops of oak trees. The picture shown looks to be holly with its waxy, shiny, thorny leaves and red berries.
You are correct.
hummm this is the second time that have the same article about this plant. I know they use it in Germany to treat Cancer, still I don't think is the same plant we know here or the make the extract removing the toxicity. It will be nice to know more about it before people start getting poisoned and die.
Iscador is one of the makes/brands you can buy. Mistletoe therapy can be given in a variety of ways:
injection under the skin (subcutaneous)
infusion through a drip (intravenous)
injection into the tumour (intratumour)
orally (by mouth). The berries from the tree are toxic however
Since a rifle or shotgun is needed to harvest tree top high, parasitic mistletoe the alternative meds bill would be even higher! For a representative pic it must have been no effort to pick a holly bushes branch with red berries. Sounds promising like a proper alkaline Ph level.

AR House 2016 finalist: an 'off-grid' home in Arizona defers to the land and the light
On the fireplace ledge of the Casa Caldera is the bleached skull of a javelina. The client of the 100m2 house found the remains on a walk around his property, about 20 miles from the border of Mexico in the San Rafael Valley. The skull reflects the lawless beauty of this landscape: the remoteness, heat, and aridity.
Driving to the house, two hours south of Tucson, is a trek that ancient Native American cultures must have experienced, save for the US Border Patrol SUV parked on a parked slope. For miles, the only sights are rolling hills dotted with oak and cottonwood trees and grassland bounded by distant mountains.
Conceived and constructed by DUST, a Tucson-based design build firm founded in 2007 by Cade Hayes and Jesús Robles, Casa Caldera doesn't emerge from this landscape until you are almost upon it, through a gnarled grove of trees. Set into a hill, the rectangular, flat-roofed, one-storey structure is made of a board-formed concrete blended with a lightweight volcanic aggregate called scoria. Because the client was adamant that he wanted mass and no air conditioning or electricity (in the end, the architects had to wire the house and connect it to a portable PV array for insurance purposes), Hayes and Robles struggled to arrive at a scheme. 'It was scary as we had the architecture and the construction liability,' says Robles. 'We were held to the fire to make this thing perform for human comfort. You're in Arizona, dude!'
'From the start, the theme of the house was vulnerability'
The architects found their solution in the zaguán, an urban prototype that spread north across Mexico's border. Its defining feature is a wide central hall – the zaguán – that connects the entrance with a rear courtyard, a terrific means of natural cross ventilation. For Casa Caldera, DUST fabricated weathered, bifold steel doors with leather-wrapped handles at either end of the zaguán, which can be closed off or opened to control the temperature. 'We had originally designed sliding doors, but after seeing the walls there was an intuitive feeling that you can't attach anything to this, it needs to be pure,' says Hayes. He adds that rented board forms cut down on waste and provided the rough, imperfect texture to the scoria that he and Robles wanted. Its shimmering, silvery surface changes with the light.
Site plan
The architects partly wrapped the zaguán in termite and rot-proof reclaimed sassafras wood. To the north of the corridor is a living room/kitchen enclosed with a custom steel-framed window wall with a transom and floor-level steel kicks that open out into the zaguán to help circulate air. The private southern volume contains two bedrooms and a bathroom. For shade, operable windows are set back into the 450mm-thick, insulated and rebar-reinforced scoria.
Casa Caldera's owner grew up visiting his grandparents' ranch in the San Rafael Valley, and the desire to have a retreat here was partly sentimental. When the ranch was divided and sold, he purchased roughly 50 acres. A wine-maker by trade, he maintains a small vineyard on the property and hopes to hunt quail and return to another passion, falconry. 'It was a long process,' says the client. 'I talked to a lot of different architects. I thought about containers for a while.' The far-flung location and the client's tight budget and off-the-grid demands were a deterrent to designers, until he met Paul Weiner, a respected architect and builder in Tucson, who passed the project on to Hayes and Robles. The two had been renting office space from Weiner and working with him on various projects. 'Paul is one of our elders that we lean on and learn from,' says Robles.
The skull reflects the lawless beauty of this landscape: the remoteness, heat, and aridity
Hayes grew up in New Mexico, Robles was born in Fort Huachuca, Arizona. Friends since their days at Texas Tech College of Architecture, the pair have a brotherly rapport. When Casa Caldera's client approached them, the architects had what amounts to a smash hit with their first built project, an award-winning 400m2 rammed-earth house in Tucson – an unusual feat of craft and sensitivity.
Hayes and Robles could be seen as the newest generation of the 'Arizona school', a phrase coined about 15 years ago by Reed Kroloff, an architect and former director of Cranbrook Academy of Art and Art Museum. Kroloff identified a lineage of architects in the state who designed and continue to design in deference to the land and light, with a scrappy industriousness, and in honour of Arizona's complex cultural traditions. These include Frank Lloyd Wright, Al Beadle, Paolo Soleri, Will Bruder, Jack DeBartolo Jr and his son Jack DeBartolo 3, Wendell Burnette, Judith Chafee, brothers Eddie and Neal Jones, and Rick Joy – for whom Hayes and Robles used to work. 'The Arizonistas can bow to a dramatic site or abstract an environment in a provocative pose – both are legitimate and dramatic additions to the landscape if they're done well,' wrote Lawrence W Cheek in the May 2002 issue of Architecture.
Casa Caldera is an example of the former. From the start, the theme of the house was vulnerability. The valley was formed by calderas, volcanic craters that created the canyons where Apaches once roamed and now 'the narcos are using', says Robles. 'The land here seems important, in reading it and relating to it.' Protecting the house from the shadow of that subculture, as well as migrant traffic, was DUST's first consideration. It determined the house siting: low enough not to be seen from a southern forest road, but high enough to have a view of the horizon. The steel doors and horizontal steel louvres on the windows add a subtle layer of fortification. A tradition of defensive architecture here – from the elements and from attack.
'For miles, the only sights are rolling hills dotted with oak and cottonwood trees and grassland bounded by distant mountains'
Next, the architects had to determine a cost-effective and strong building material. While adobe might have been cheaper, it wasn't as streamlined as scoria, which was used for the 800mm footers and the walls and could be poured with a three to five-person crew (adobe would have required concrete footers and a team of 10 to 12). The drama of the structure's location hit home once construction started. What should have taken six months took two years. A broken scoria mixer was a setback. There's only one, developed by the scoria aggregate creator Paul Schwam. Hayes and Robles described a harrowing scene of dumping buckets of the mixture by hand until they negotiated to have the machine fixed. Then there was the problem of getting supplies and contractors to such a remote location. Robles recalled seeing their first concrete shipment pass by, heading to Mexico. A map reading something like 'turn at the cows, take a left at the windmill' wasn't always interpreted correctly. In the end, the architects say the prolonged construction was to their and the client's benefit. 'We really got to question each moment. It stretched us,' says Robles.
Part of that was figuring out power and water. The house is fed by a natural well. A septic system has a leech field that will benefit vegetation. The standing seam roof funnels water to trees to shade the house, and a propane tank heats water. While he's only come to Casa Caldera a few times, the client is happy with the results and hopes to make his visits longer. 'It's nice to see how the light comes through the openings at different times of the day and year,' he says.

US Prosecutors have dropped a manslaughter charge against a woman whose unborn baby died after she was shot in the stomach during a fight.
Marshae Jones, 28, was indicted by a grand jury in Alabama last week after it concluded she intentionally caused the death of the foetus by initiating a fight, knowing she was pregnant, news agencies reported..
District attorney Lynneice Washington announced she was dismissing the case and no further legal action would be brought.
"After reviewing the facts of this case and the applicable state law, I have determined that it is not in the best interest of justice to pursue prosecution of Ms Jones," Ms Washington said.
"This is truly a disturbing and heartbreaking case. There are no winners, only losers in this sad ordeal."
Ms Jones was five months pregnant when 23-year-old Ebony Jemison shot her in the stomach outside a general store in Pleasant Grove in December, 2018, during what authorities said was an argument over the unborn baby's father.
Ms Jemison was initially charged with manslaughter, but a grand jury failed to indict her after it was determined Ms Jones had started the fight, and Ms Jemison had ultimately fired in self-defence.
Meanwhile, Ms Jones was indicted by the same grand jury and arrested.
Ms Washington said grand jury members made "what they believed to be a reasonable decision," believing someone needed to be held accountable for the death of the foetus.
Ms Jones's attorney, Mark White, said the decision to drop the charges would "help Marshae continue to heal from this tragic event and work to rebuild her life in a positive and productive way".
Mr White argued the state had used a "flawed and twisted rationale" that "ignores the law and ignores reason".
The arrest sparked outrage across the country, with women's rights advocates calling it another attempt to charge women for crimes related to their pregnancies.
Legal scholars said the arrest raised questions about what other scenarios — such as driving a car or swimming in a pool — could constitute putting a foetus in danger.
The wife of Dubai's ruler and owner of last year's Melbourne Cup winner Cross Counter has reportedly fled the United Arab Emirates with their young son and daughter and sought asylum in London.
According to the BBC, Princess Haya Bint al-Hussein is said to be "afraid for her life", while a person close to the family told The New York Times that she fled to Britain several months ago and was seeking a divorce.
It follows the departure from Dubai of one of her husband's daughters last year.
Dubai's ruler, Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, who is also Prime Minister and Vice-President of the United Arab Emirates, has not officially commented but recently posted poems about heartbreak online.
Beyond his political power, Sheikh Mohammed is one of the world's richest men and owns the thoroughbred breeding operation Godolphin which won the 2018 Melbourne Cup with Cross Counter and the 2019 Diamond Jubilee Stakes in England with Blue Point.
Princess Haya, 45, is the half sister of Jordan's King Abdullah II.
She studied philosophy, politics and economics at the University of Oxford, is a former Olympic show jumper (she was Jordan's flag bearer at the Sydney Olympics), was appointed a UN messenger of peace in 2007, and established her own foundation, Tkiyet Um Ali, to deliver food aid in the Arab world.
As the wife of 69-year-old Sheikh Mohammed (reportedly his sixth), she has championed the cause of improving health care, particularly for children.
Princess Haya and Sheikh Mohammed married in 2004 and have two children, aged 11 and seven.
A two-year-old boy has become the latest suspected victim of an influenza outbreak across WA that has seen the disease reach levels that dwarf previous years.
A GoFundMe page has been set up to help the Karratha toddler's family with medical and funeral costs.
WA's Department of Health said it could not confirm that a toddler died from the influenza virus until it received a report from the coroner.
Elijah David Huynh died in Perth Children's Hospital on Tuesday after being flown from his Pilbara home town for treatment, according to the GoFundMe page.
"The virus spread like wildfire overnight and without any warning signs," the family said.
"A valiant effort by the crew of the Karratha Health Campus, Royal Flying Doctors and Perth Children's Hospital kept him around long enough for his immediate family to be with him, but in the end there wasn't anything … that could have saved him.
"Although his life was cut short at just over two years old, the memories he gave us will be cherished for a life time.
"His beautiful cheeky smile will be missed by his mum Bec, dad Dave and how much he adored his new sister who entered into the world a few months ago."
More than $17,000 has so far been raised for the family.

Their bodies are speckled with both black and white dots that provide an absolutely stunning contrast. Much like their cousins the Corydoras paleatus, these catfish exhibit very interesting and often playful behavior. They are fairly small (they grow to a maximum of about 2-1/2 inches), so they are perfect for home aquariums.

The Akashic Noir Series does two things brilliantly: it honors the short story, literature's most powerful purveyor of succinctly captivating creativity; and, it introduces readers to the noir genre in a uniquely "local" way.
The first in the series, Brooklyn Noir was published in 2004. It was edited by a lifelong - indeed, generations long - resident of that borough. This "know every dark corner" editorial approach to selecting perfectly suited stories led to a simple realization. What worked for one city might work for others in the United States and abroad.
As it turns out, this assumption was correct. This summer, twelve years after Brooklyn Noir's release, Brussels Noir, Mississippi Noir, and St. Louis Noir joined Akashic's now-long list of titles.
Those familiar with the genre know that noir is a bit like a fisherman's net. It pulses with movement. There are too many species to count. Its abundance depends on who's counting.
No one can truly "define" noir. Certainly, there are widely accepted conventions: it builds on menace, characters seem hell-bent on self-destruction, and there are no happy endings. Apart from these similarities, each writer wanders off on his or her own path. Akashic's series recognizes this, and it is both an homage and an experiment.
The introductions to these volumes are a must read. Do not disregard them as frivolous text or you'll miss a personal and evocative glimpse into the culture from which these stories spring. Likewise, we suggest also reading the "About the Contributors" section before starting in on the stories. You'll see that these authors are not "best-guessing" their content. They're not regurgitating second-hand research. They are opening their artistic veins and spilling their angels and demons onto the printed page. They are bleeding their knowledge of their government, neighborhoods and people and they don't care if you see the wounds.
Many authors chosen for these anthologies are well-known. There are Edgar winners, Pushcart Prize recipients, Ellery Queen Award winners, and honorees of Shamus and Anthony Awards. In truth, all writers in the series are worthy of recognition, even if they haven't yet received it.
The books' editors likewise deserve special commendations. Without their uncanny ability to sniff out fine storytelling, this series might be little more than random collections of short narratives. Instead, the works selected capture the very essence of their cities. In New Orleans Noir, for example, the book begins with nineteenth century offerings including O. Henry's Whistling Dick's Christmas Stocking. It progresses chronologically through Katrina and beyond. Jesus Out to Sea by James Lee Burke manages to pull off the astounding task of marrying a mob story with eloquent, terrifying details of the hurricane's aftermath. It's an experience the reader won't soon forget.
Start your journey with the three August 2016 releases mentioned above. Or, go the whole way back to 2004 and begin at the beginning. Choose titles based on cities in which you've lived. Use the series as a means of vicariously experiencing places you've always wanted to visit. There is no right way to travel through the Akashic Noir Series.
Each book in the series features peculiarly experiential fiction that, albeit dark - after all, it is noir - portrays social structures and norms unfamiliar outside of their geographic boundaries. And, of course, they are also crime stories either on conscious or sub-textual levels.
Prose 'n Cons™ highly recommends the Akashic Noir Series to new or long-time fans of noir, or anyone who appreciates the deceptively difficult and satisfying art of short story writing. For more information, visit the publisher at Akashic Books.

"The news that Vion intend to sell their UK business will be a worry for the employees of the company at Brydock and for the wider agricultural economy.
"Colleagues in the Scottish Government have been involved in detailed discussions with Vion for some months regarding their plant at Broxburn, and despite continued asking about the future of the Group, this is the first time the company has said anything about this sale.
"I will be contacting the company as a matter of urgency in order to seek clarification on their disposal intentions for the Brydock plant and its dedicated workforce.

First Google Assistant Smart Display from Lenovo
The first Google Assistant smart display of Lenovo will start shipping during the current week. It has been considered the beginning of a new range of products that might add some strong competitors of Echo Show. The smart displays of Google offer a way to communicate with the voice assistant of tech giant in a visual pattern. New devices were presented at CES during the current year and these devices impressed participants with their ability to display maps and send them to phone. The assistant will offer a step-by-step visual aid for recipes you look up and you can follow on screen. The device will also present a visual summary of the weather. It will provide a way to create and organize to-do lists. You will find audio tracks to listen rather than randomly playing a tune.
This new innovation will obviously sound more attractive than smart speakers. Users will also be able to ask Assistant to stream cooking videos or anything else you need to watch hands-free. People will get 3-months free with their purchase if they never subscribed to YouTube Premium. The display will also stream live or recorded YouTube TV shows, YouTube Music, Google Play Music, HBO Now, Pandora, and Spotify. If you need a video call to a friend on a screen larger than your smart-phone, you just invoke Duo on the device, say "Hey Google, call (friend's name)". You can also use the display to listen to podcasts, and audio-books if you never had a Home speaker. Google-powered smart display of Lenovo will be available in 2 sizes and colors. 8-inch HD model will cost you 200 U.S dollars and 10-inch full HD at 250 U.S dollars.

Coudersport, PA's Eliot Ness Fest Celebrates Famous G-Man and More
Jul 31, 2018 02:22PM
By Vanessa Orr
Laying down the law during the Eliot Ness Fest.
Pennsylvania is home to a lot of unique festivals, and the Eliot Ness Fest, held for the first time this July in Coudersport, PA, is now one of them. Located about 3-1/2 hours northeast of Pittsburgh, this town of roughly 2,500 people has until now best been known for its ice mine—but that may be about to change.
The festival, held in honor of the 'Untouchable' who took down Al Capone, cleaned up the Cleveland police force and later moved to the town of Coudersport, attracted people from across the country as well as the region. But it's the locals that make this a go-to event; from the sequined flappers serving drinks in the Hotel Crittenden, to the fedora-wearing men shooting tommy guns during a truck hijacking, to the young lady in full newsboy regalia hawking papers on the street, the spirit is contagious.
There were scheduled events, including a sit-down pasta lunch with Al Capone, (who at times wields a baseball bat while talking about teamwork), a speakeasy dance where everyone comes out in their 1920s finery, a bootleg liquor raid, and the aforementioned shoot-out. But it was also just fun to mosey along Main Street, which is lined with immaculate collector cars from the 1920s and '30s—including a bulletproof 1924 Rolls Royce once owned by the publisher of the Chicago Tribune—while listening to music being played from a hand-cranked Victrola in the background.
The fest itself was a mix of Eliot Ness fans and scholars, as well as people in the area to enjoy the outdoors, and families who appreciated an affordable, fun way to spend a weekend. All of the lectures and movies are free as is an Eliot Ness walking tour, and a shuttle to takes riders around to see where former speakeasies were located.
A large number of vendors are set up in the park along Main Street for those who prefer shopping to shooting, and there's also a kids' area and numerous food truck options, so even non-Nessophiles can turn it into a fun weekend.
Other Area Attractions
Part of the PA Wilds, Coudersport's biggest claim to fame before now has been the ice mine—a natural wonder that forms ice in the hot summer months, which then melts in the winter. Located behind a plain wooden door, the mine showcases a natural mystery that even the Science Channel, when they visited in 2017, couldn't quite explain.
According to the guide, Native Americans from New York state used to come to Coudersport to trade, and always arrived bearing silver. Locals thought that there must be silver in the mountain, so they dug for it, and later dynamited the land, and never found the precious metal. What they did find, after going back a year later to an area that they'd previously opened up, was the formation of ice in the middle of summer—a novelty that attracted people for years. The mine was closed in the late 1980s, but reopened in 2014—and now visitors can once again enjoy this cool (pun intended) attraction.
Coudersport is also adjacent to Cherry Springs State Park, which is the only gold level 'Dark Sky' park on the East Coast. This designation is given by the International Dark Sky Association, and is awarded to areas possessing "an exceptional or distinguished quality of starry nights and a nocturnal environment that is specifically protected for its scientific, natural, educational, cultural heritage, and/or public enjoyment." The park is the perfect place to view stars as well as the Milky Way Galaxy—you might even see the Northern Lights, which are visible 18 days a year. Stargazers flock to this spot where you can camp overnight to take in nature's full glory, or just drive up any night to view the stars. Visitors can also register to take any of the Dark Sky programs, which the park puts on during the summer months.
If you prefer a proper roof over your head, there are many places to stay in the area, including the Nob Hill Motel in Galeton, a 1950s-era landmark that takes you back to an earlier time. I love vintage hotels, and the motel's six rooms and four cabins include stoves, fridges, and super comfy beds that make it easy and affordable for families to stay in the area while enjoying all of the attractions—I was snug as a bug in a rug while riding out a massive thunderstorm during my stay. And before you worry about the kids complaining—they do have A/C and WiFi. The Perma-Stone Inn, located right next door, offers a bar menu featuring massive portions, so if you don't want to cook or pack a cooler, you can eat for days on one meal.
If you prefer to dine in Coudersport, about a half hour away, there are many choices, but I definitely have to give a shout-out to the Hotel Crittenden, where Eliot Ness and Oscar Fraley met to write his book about his days taking down Capone and cleaning up Cleveland. The hotel hasn't changed that much since Ness' day, which makes it the perfect place to wax nostalgic and get in the festival mood—or to eat at any time of year to enjoy the feel of a bygone era.
The festival was such a success in its inaugural weekend that a second festival is already being planned for next year with a wealth of new events. Make plans now for the third weekend in July, and learn more at www.eliotnessfest.com and www.visitpottertioga.com.

Cascade Lakes Relay
Cascade Lakes Relay
July 31st & August 1st, 2020
Registration Opens October 1st, 2019
Oregon's most challenging running relay course starts in the Cascade Mountains at Diamond Lake Resort, travels through the Oregon Outback and rural agricultural country, and winds back to the Cascade Lakes Highway, around Mt. Bachelor and into the resort community of Bend. You'll see more cows than semi-trucks and smell pine trees instead of exhaust. If you are seeking an adventure where you can push your limits and rediscover your senses, then this is the event for you and your team.
Countdown to Race Day - July 31st, 2020
Preview the Race
About CLR36
The Cascade Lakes Relay is a 216.6 mile overnight race. Teams of 12 (or even 6 or 8) runners take turns running "legs" – shorter segments of 3 to 9 miles that link together at exchange points. A total of 36 legs comprise the Cascade Lakes Relay, so for a team of 12, that means you will run three times. Total mileage for each runner averages around 18 miles. Ultra teams, or those with less than 12 members, will run anywhere from 4 to 6 legs. Most teams take about 32 hours to complete the 216.6 miles, which means that teams run through the night. Running in the dark often proves to be a new relay runner's favorite experience.
About CLR24 & Walk Relay
We also offer a shorter running relay, CLR24 and a Walk Relay, which both follow the 132 mile version of the race that begins in Silver Lake and finishes in Riverbend Park. CLR24 and the Walk Relay use the same course as the run, but begin with Leg #13 at Silver Lake. The Walk Relay teams start on Friday morning and join the runners on the Cascade Lakes Hwy. CLR24 teams start in Silver Lake on Friday early evening merging right into the excitement and pack of CLR36 running teams. CLR24 and Walk Relay teams are comprised of a minimum of eight members and a maximum of twelve. A 12 member team will each run/walk two legs during the course of the race, while an eight person team will each have three legs to cover. Legs range from 3 to 9 miles in length so that a runner/ walker will do an average of 12 miles over the course of the race. Participants receive all of the same swag as the CLR36 participants, including a CLR finishers shirt, medal and beer at the finish.

The maintenance crews at Trump Ferry Point in the Bronx, New York, may have to do a little less landscaping this Spring.
According to local reports, two men, armed with a chainsaw, jumped an eight-foot fence near the 15th hole and ripped through several trees on the course Tuesday. The vandals downed four trees before the maintenance workers chased them off. The chainsaw was left behind.
Each tree was about 20 to 30 feet tall. The course manager told CBS that this wasn't a first-time occurrence. Trump Ferry Point did not immediately respond to GOLF.com's request for comment.

CM17 Sho Sho is officially back from the dead with his newly released mixtape "Burial Season Volume 1", his first mixtape since the spin-off series of "Dreams To Be Realised"!
Taking nothing from nobody, this mixtape finds CM17 at his most angriest and volatile; with supersonic rhyming and breathless syllabic wordplay (Speed Demon & Speed Demon II), his harsh choice of words for what he thinks about the government (F*ck The Government), opinions on the grime scene and where he stands (Real Talk) and other notable freestyles that will likely have the listener either being unable to stand still or take extreme offence to what has been said.
With production ranging from Chris Mandiangu (the founder & CEO of Sho Sho Kudo Music), Eminem, Mobb Deep and the legendary grime producers Maniac & Lolingo; no instrumental on earth can send CM17 Sho Sho off the edge than this lethal selection of beats!

text: EDEN PRAIRIE, Minn. - Matt Cassel will start at quarterback for the Minnesota Vikings against Carolina on Sunday. Coach Leslie Frazier confirmed Friday what was widely expected, keeping Cassel in the lineup after he helped the Vikings get their first victory of the season with a solid performance in London against Pittsburgh. Christian Ponder sat out that game because of a broken rib. Ponder was cleared to play this Sunday against Carolina. Despite Fraziers earlier insistence that Ponder was the starter when healthy, the Vikings decided to make the former first-round draft pick the backup the same week they signed ex-Tampa Bay quarterback Josh Freeman for still another option. The Vikings also listed kicker Blair Walsh as questionable for Sunday due to tightness in his hamstring.

The CFLs leading rusher kept adding to his gaudy numbers this season and scored the winning touchdown with just over two minutes to play. The New Westminster, B.C., native plowed three yards into the end zone for the last score of a heated, see-saw battle between the two teams with the best records in the CFL. But Calgary (14-3) secured first place in the CFLs West Division with a game remaining for the right to host the division final Nov. 17. "Thats why you work so hard throughout the regular season and when you get close you want to clinch the deal," Stampeder head coach John Hufnagel said. "This wasnt a must-win situation for us, but we did want to win it in front of our home fans." The Roughriders (11-6) get the division semifinal Nov. 10 against the B.C. Lions. The winner advances to face the Stampeders at McMahon with the division winner earning a berth Nov. 24 in the Grey Cup in Regina. With Calgary trailing 15-10 after the first half because of turnovers, Hufnagel replaced starting quarterback Kevin Glenn with Drew Tate, who completed 11-of-16 passes for 181 yards. Tate also ran for a touchdown and his 37-yard pass to wide receiver Jeff Fuller in the fourth quarter was the play preceding Cornishs TD. "We were having a little bit of problems with our offensive line," Hufnagel said of his halftime decision. "I had guys who werent 100 per cent healthy after the first couple of series and we wanted more mobility at that position." Calgary concludes the regular season on the road against the Lions on Friday, while the Roughriders are at home to the Eskimos. With Tate, who spent much of this season managing an arm injury, back in the mix, it renews the question of which quarterback will start in the post-season. Hufnagel said following the game it is possible Glenn, Tate and Bo Levi Mitchell will all take snaps against the Lions. Cornishs 109 yards padded his own single-season rushing record for a Canadian running back to 1,721 this season. Saskatchewans Kory Sheets, the leagues No. 2 rusher behind Cornish, had 42 yards on 11 carries. Glenn and Cornish each fumbled the ball twice in the first half. Glenn completed 11-of-17 passes for 120 yards and threw a touchdown pass to Anthony Parker before he was replaced by Tate. Stampeder kicker Rene Paredes made his three field-goal attempts in front of an announced 33,671 at McMahon Stadium. Darian Durant threw a touchdown passs to Taj Smith that gave Saskatchewan a temporary lead in the fourth quarter.dddddddddddd The veteran quarterback also ran for a TD for Saskatchewan in the game. Roughrider kicker Chris Milo was 4 for 4 in field-goal attempts. "We squandered it," Durant said. "The defence gave us plenty of opportunities to put some points on the board. "Were not going to win kicking field goals. Its always a dog fight when we play these guys and tonight was no different." Sheets and Calgary defensive end Charleston Hughes had traded social media barbs via Twitter heading into the game because Sheets had declared himself that best back in the league. Hughes collected three and Cordarro Law two of Calgarys seven sacks in the game, while the Riders registered three. Hughes took over the league lead in sacks with 18. Saskatchewans Alex Hall didnt register one in the game to remain at 15 and one ahead of Law. "There was a lot of talk throughout the week," Hughes said. "I wanted to back it up. "It was something like a statement game. For one, that I am the best defensive end in this league and for two, the second-best defensive end in this league is right next to me. Cordarro Law." Roughrider defensive back Dwight Anderson, a Stampeder for three seasons before heading to Saskatchewan, had a direct message for his former team. "Were the better the team anyway," Anderson said. "Calgary sucks." The Roughriders are under considerable pressure to participate in the Grey Cup hosted by their province. A win Saturday would have extended the race for first place in the division to the final week of the regular season, although a Stampeder victory over the Lions on Friday would have put it out of Saskatchewans reach. Saturdays game may have been a preview of the division final, which would pit the top offences and defences in the league against each other again. "Saskatchewan is a great team, great defensive line, great linebackers, great offence," Cornish said. "Its one of those things you know youre going to have to play them again and I think were a little bit better prepared now that weve played them simply because we know we cant make mistakes. "I was just trying to do my part for the teams win. There was a lot of hype and build up to this game. Maybe it affected me a little bit. I think thats the first time the balls been falling out of my hand." Notes: With 84 receiving yards, Calgary receiver Marquay McDaniel reached a season 1,000 for the first time in his career . . . Saskatchewan lost its seventh in a row at McMahon and are 3-10-1 there since 2005.

5 to 4 are far more than simple math numbers. They have and soon will become the norm for the SCOTUS vote on any profound game changing court case. That 5 to 4 vote has spelled deep peril for millions of Americans. Trump's SCOTUS pick will virtually encode that in present and future SCOTUS decisions for years to come.
Trump and the GOP bank on that. For three decades GOP political and judicial activist groups have ruthlessly pulled out all stops to enshrine a 5 to 4 conservative majority on the high court. They bankrolled court watchdog and lobbying groups to the tune of millions. They railed against liberal activist judges. They compiled and vetted dozens of rigidly conservative ideologue judges for the appellate courts and the SCOTUS. They made sure GOP senators and GOP presidents demanded a hard-nosed ideological litmus test for prospective judges on union rights, voting rights, corporations, campaign financing, federal powers, same sex marriage, and of course the conservative's number one pet peeve, abortion.
They topped their relentless drive to control the court with their greatest coup of all. They absolutely refused to hold a single hearing, let alone a vote, on then President Obama's SCOTUS nominee Merrick Garland. Then when they got the ideological compatible SCOTUS nominee they hungered for in Neil Gorsuch, they rammed home the "nuclear option" that cut off all debate and then got their man in on a simple majority vote.
Even before the Gorsuch pick and the new prospective SCOTUS judge to be, Thomas and the late Antonin Scalia virtually turned the number 5 to 4 into a fine art. They reflexively voted against any and every Obama administration position, initiative, or piece of legislation that wound up before the court. It was a judicial war against him that was almost unprecedented. The five ruled multiple times that Obama had allegedly badly abused his constitutional authority in decisions, appointments, and court appeals. Their rulings had nothing to do with executive abuse since many of the cases were routine appeals. They were open, no-holds barred, ideological war against Obama.
The five ruled against him in most of cases that had his administration's fingerprint on it. Invariably the vote against him was 5 to 4. The assault had little to do with the law, and everything to do with politics and ideology. Their decisions against him were blatant partisan political pandering. Thomas and the other four justices were appointed by Republican presidents. The other four justices that almost always backed the Obama administration in their votes on court cases were appointed by him or other Democratic presidents.
The tip-off that the conservative five would vote their ideology rather than the law came from George W. Bush. On the presidential campaign trail in 2000, Bush was asked if elected what kind of judge he'd look for and nominate. He didn't hesitate. He pledged to appoint "strict constructionists" to the court and specifically named Thomas, Antonin Scalia and William Rehnquist as the judges that perfectly fit that description. Trump may have badmouthed Bush and the GOP establishment during his presidential campaign, but he quickly latched onto their template for packing the court with ultra-conservatives to cement their majority. He stumbled over himself to practically coronate Scalia as the second coming of Moses the lawgiver. He repeatedly vowed that his nominees would be Scalia clones.
Gorsuch was the first. He was the much vaunted and cherished fifth and deciding vote on Trump's Muslim travel ban, ripping apart public employee unions, upholding the right of faith-based crisis pregnancy centers to counsel against abortion, to torpedo a key labor protective provision of the National Labor Relations Act, to tighten the screws on prisoner law suits, sanctioned discrimination against gays, and to upheld Ohio's voter purge law.
The rulings have far reaching and damaging public policy consequences for gays, minorities, women, and labor. The beauty of it for conservatives is that they were all decided by the 5 to 4 majority that they worked so painstakingly hard to put in place on the court.
The problem with retiring judge Anthony Kennedy was that he was not and would never be the dependable fifth vote. Gorsuch just filled the spot of Scalia, so that was a gimme vote anyway for conservatives. However, Trump's replacement for Kennedy changes the SCOTUS ball game completely. This will be the encased fifth vote that guarantees that anything that hits the court that evenly remotely touches on voting rights, affirmative action, prisoner rights, corporate and property rights, and union and environmental protections can almost be mailed in; the majority decision against will be that predictable. The horror of this is that the four liberal and moderate judges can do nothing more than voice impassioned dissents that will have absolutely no force of law behind them.
Trump and the GOP know this, and the playbook they used to sabotage Garland and fast track Gorsuch through will be used again. Get used to 5 to 4 this will be the SCOTUS's standard number from here out.

Do you want a website that works for you 24/7?
To wake up every day with new sales?
Do you want a website that works for you even while you're on vacation, spending time with your loved ones?
Affiliate marketing combined with a website is how you achieve these goals and today I'm going to show you how to get there.
Affiliate Marketing Process Explained
1. Create a website
Your website is your foundation, your empire that holds all your content and everything in place.
This is the starting point of an online business.
2. Add content
Content is king. Content brings you visitors, clicks and sales. Without content, there is no business.
Adding content is the next step and one of the most important steps because it's going to bring you the PEOPLE that are going to buy and make you money.
3. Add affiliate links
Adding affiliate links to your content is how you get paid.
People come to your website via search engines and social media, they read your content, enjoy it and click the links.
When they make a purchase, you make money.
No really, there is no step 4.
Here's an even clearer breakdown of the process.
-Content brings people to your website.
-Affiliate marketing makes you money.
And when you have enough content and enough affiliate links sprinkled strategically throughout your website, you have a business that makes you money around the clock.
And the only way to attract people is to add high value content.
The Type of Content to Create
Content will always be king because without content, you have no business.
So what type of content should you be creating?
Well, to create content that Google loves and ranks, you need to understand the audience of your niche and be as helpful as possible.
This means creating list articles, best of, review, top 10, top 50, how to, etc.
Just be informative as possible and be different with every article, do not sound like a robot.
The best way to get an article ranked is to answer a specific question, and cover the entire topic in your article.
That way you're providing a solution to someones problem and that's what Google wants on its front page.
Create enough content like this and you'll be ranking in no time.
Content Length
How long should your content be?
Sorry to break it to ya but there is no magical answer.
Yes, content length is a ranking factor but not the only factor.
If you only stick to the same amount of words for every article, you're going to achieve negative rankings because you'll only sound like a robot.
Remember, Google doesn't like robots, Google rewards websites with variety in their content and aren't afraid to step out of the status quo.
Feel like doing 500 words today? Then do 500 words.
Feel like doing a 3000 word article? Then do one.
At the end of the day, content length isn't the biggest ranking factor but it is definitely one you should be aware of.
Google is steering more towards content with lots of words, so don't be afraid to write 2000-4000 words every so often, in addition to your 500-1500 word articles.
Do this and you'll look natural in Googles eyes and out rank people that are constantly trying to "cheat" the search engines to try and get big rankings.
Where to Add Affiliate Links
Below I talk about the dangers of adding affiliate links to every article, so your first step is to avoid doing that.
You should add affiliate links wherever it's going to be USEFUL to your reader and actually help them.
If you're mindlessly adding links just for the sake of hoping they will click and buy something, you're going the wrong way about it.
You can add them to your review articles, best of and even list articles.
Just don't overdo it with every article. You'll only be seen as a spammer in Googles eyes and it'll be difficult to rank.
How Long Does It Take to Make Money?
This is the most common question people want to know when trying to start an affiliate marketing business.
Here's the simple answer.
Treat it like a real business and it will reward you nicely, over and over again.
Treat it like a little side hustle and expect to make money here and there.
Basically, you get out what you put in.
So how long does it take to make money?
It can take anywhere from 1-6 months to make your first $ through affiliate marketing.
But let me tell you this.
Once it starts, it doesn't stop.
So after the initial first commission, another one usually follows, then another, and another, and before you know it you're making money on the daily.
But the only way to get there is to never give up.
You only fail if you stop trying, so go hard every single day and your money making empire will be here before you know it.
Niches (Broad or Laser Targeted?)
There are so many misconceptions about niches these days.
Should you go broad, should you go laser targeted or somewhere in between?
In my experience, and thousands of others running successful online businesses, the best ones are in between.
Not broad and not laser targeted, but between those two.
Essentially you're creating a balance with enough growth to never run out of content to create.
Plus you don't look like you're trying to "game" the system in Googles eyes.
And might I add that micro niche websites are getting penalized more and more (it makes complete sense to stay away from them).
6 Common Misconceptions About Affiliate Marketing
1. You need hundreds of high quality backlinks to rank
This couldn't be any further from the truth.
Yes, it's proven that quality backlinks will rank high and get you lots of traffic, however, it's not the ONLY ranking factor.
There are much more factors involved, and if you're focus is on getting backlinks, you're going to fail before you even start.
Because purposely creating backlinks is against Googles ToS.
If it looks unnatural, you'll be penalized and probably not get any rankings.
That's why you should never focus on creating backlinks, but high quality content instead.
Eventually people will start linking to you themselves and it'll be much more natural.
2. You need lots of money to buy traffic
Again, not even close.
Buying traffic is ONE way to get people to your website but not the only way.
Often times buying traffic is a recipe for disaster because you don't know the quality of the traffic and if they're going to purchase your product or not.
The biggest online mistakes I've made is spending thousands of dollars on traffic that wasn't targeted and losing all my money.
Even if it is targeted, you don't know the quality and how qualified they are to purchase your product or service.
That's why you should get this misconception out of your head right now that you need to buy traffic in order to become successful.
That is wrong!
3. The online space is too competitive
Many people don't even TRY to get involved with affiliate marketing and ranking a website because they simply think it's "too competitive".
There is more than enough space on the search engines for people to rank and bank my friend, and the only thing holding you back is your belief that you can't outperform the thousands of other websites.
The good news is that the top searches are packed with hundreds of thousands of dead websites.
And all it takes to outrank them is an active website full of valuable content, which is your golden ticket to getting traffic and sales.
I'll show you how in just a second.
4. Affiliate links aren't good for SEO
Affiliate links do not kill your SEO game and it has been proven over and over again to be false.
Search engines understand what they are and KNOW most websites use them.
Google are a lot more kind to affiliate links nowadays because even top websites use them.
However, it becomes a problem when all you're doing is providing low value content and adding affiliate links to every article.
This is called a "thin content" website, and Google hates them.
Add affiliate links to every page along with bad quality articles and you're on a surefire road to getting no rankings and a website hated by Google.
5. You need more than one website to make good money
Nope, one website is all you need to create a successful affiliate marketing business that makes you money around the clock.
Actually one website is more recommended since focusing on one is going to be easier than trying to build up multiple businesses at a time.
Creating diversity can come later, what's important in the beginning is getting your first website off of the ground and making money.
Because the sooner you make money, the better. You'll be motivated to keep going and before you know it you'll be waking up to new sales every day!
6. You need to get in one of the good niches
What I love about websites and affiliate marketing is that the world is literally your oyster.
All niches are profitable, and I really do mean all niches.
Well, at least 99.99% of them.
As long as there are products to promote in your niche, it can become extremely profitable.
And if you're unsure of what niche to pursue or how you're actually going to start your affiliate marketing business, we teach everything over at Wealthy Affiliate.
Why a Website Beats Any Other Online Business
A website is by far my favorite way to make money online.
You don't get anything in return for your time or money invested at the start, but later on, you get paid dividends over and over again.
That's the beauty of combining affiliate marketing with a website.
You build it up at the start and when your website ranks, you gain traffic and sales on a daily basis.
It's exactly like a snowball.
First it starts off small, then when you add more and more snow, even if it's a little, eventually it gets LARGE.
Now that's exactly how affiliate marketing + a website works.
You start off with no content and no traffic, until you add little bits of content each day and week, everything picks up.
You add more content, you start to get traffic and make a sale here and there, but after a lengthy period of time, money will be made around the clock.
Where Do You Even Start?
Do you start with a free blogger blog or go all out on a hosting platform?
Do you purchase a website or start brand new?
So many questions and so little time.
I say you start at none of that.
You start by RECEIVING THE RIGHT TRAINING.
You need to have the right training in order to become successful online.
You can't fake it till you make it, contrary to popular belief.

A Closer Look at the Comet Assay opens with a discussion on the clinical applications of comet assay. Comet assay is rapid, simple method which able to assess DNA damage in different samples like blood, cells and tissues.
Following this, the authors examine comet assay usage in occupational toxicology studies. Isolated lymphocytes were the most used cell line in these studies, but exfoliated cells such as nasal and buccal cell, liver, kidney and sperm cells may be used.
Comet assay may also be used to detect nanoparticles-associated DNA damage. As such, this compilation assesses potential limitations due to the interaction of the nanoparticles with the method.
Next, to shed light on the mechanisms of the DNA track formation, the authors apply an original approach based on the kinetic measurements in the comet assay, arguing that in neutral conditions at low levels of DNA damages, the comet tail is formed by extended DNA loops.
New applications of the comet assay are described for the detection of aberrant DNA methylation, which is a promising marker in cancer diagnosis and follow-up.
The authors go on to describe and analyse the results of in vitro treatment of lymphocytes with insecticide using comet assay under alkaline and neutral conditions, testing the commercial product Calypso® 480SC and its active agent thiacloprid at concentrations of 30; 60; 120; 240 and 480 µg.ml-1.
In one study, Helianthus annuus (sunflower) seedlings were irrigated with Hoagland solution containing different concentrations of AlCl3. Morphological parameters such as germination rate and stoma number are evaluated.
Additionally, the genotoxic effects of endosulfan pesticide at different times and in different concentrations in wheat leaf samples are analyzed in two-week old wheat seedlings in an effort to demonstrate that endosulfan is a genotoxic agent causing DNA breaks in wheat.
In the closing chapter, the correlation between the comet assay parameters, cell viability, and hydroquinone concentration is explored. The relationship between comet assay and remaining hydroquinone after fungal treatment is also investigated in order to evaluate its biodegradation efficiency.
