Isolation and Activity Assay of Secondary Metabolites of Aspergillus niger in-Habiting in Termite's Queen Nest Macrotermes gilvus Hagen., on Enriched Media
The Fungus is a group of the microorganisms that produce secondary metabolites and may be changed in different media. Secondary metabolites from Aspergillus niger in habiting in termite's queen nest Macrotermes gilvus Hagen are disappeared gradually in artificial media. It was the reason to enrich the media with termite's queen nest. The purpose of this research was to obtain the similar secondary metabolites of A. niger as it grows in their habitat. Enrichment was done with the experimental method. It used three concentrations of nest 0.25; 0.75 and 1 g/mL Sabouraud Dextrose Agar (SDA) media. Isolation was done by chromatography method. The antibiotic activities against Pseudomonas aeruginosa ATCC 27853 and Enterococcus faecalis ATCC 10541 were performed by the diffusion method. Results showed that enrichment of nest 1 g/mL media gave the best growth of fungus and it obtain the similar secondary metabolites as it grows in their habitat. Three pure compounds, EG-13-31-2, EG-13-34-9, and EG-13-44-2 were obtained. Based on physicochemical data, all compounds were terpenoid class and one of them (EG-13-34-9) contain the phenolic group. All compounds have activity against P. aeruginosa ATCC 27853 and E. faecalis ATCC 10541 the bacteriostatic category.
Stability Indicating UPLC Method for The Degradation Study of
Ketorolac Tromethamine
Mohammad N. Uddin, Md. Al-Amin, Md. Nazmul H. Mijan, Suman
UPLC stability indicating method was developed for determining ketorolac tromethamine in its degradation study at different conditions. An isocratic mobile phase composition of 60:10:30 (v/v) containing CH3OH, CH3CN and 5mM NaH2PO4 and C18 column were used at a flow rate of 0.20 mL min-1. Satisfactory retention time was found 2.13±0.05 min at 320 nm when monitored by DAD detector. Forced degradation studies of ketorolac tromethamine was also performed at the following conditions: acid and basic hydrolysis, heat (50-70°C for 1 hr), photolytic (UV and sunlight for up to 3 hr), oxidation (3% hydrogen peroxide for 1 hr). Forced degradation study revealed that ketorolac degraded significantly under thermal conditions. In 1N acid and base hydrolysis, degradation was moderately significant and comparable. It was degraded marginally in 0.1N acid-base hydrolysis which was comparable to oxidative conditions. But in photolytic condition ketorolac shows insignificant degradation. Method was also applied to pharmaceutical formulation.
Performance Evaluation of Molecularly Imprinted Polymer using Propanol as Porogen for Atenolol Recognition in Human Serum
Meilia Suherman, Ike Susanti, Driyanti Rahayu, Rimadani Pratiwi, Aliya N. Hasanah
Atenolol is a cardiovascular drug that has a narrow therapeutic index with long-term use and it's often used as doping. Atenolol has a small concentration in human body and it's in biological matrix (serum) so in the testing need a selective extraction so the analyte can be pra-concentration and removed from matrix. Two molecularly imprinted polymers (MIPs) on propanol as porogen have been made with two different methods i.e. bulk polymerization and precipitation polymerization. The polymer was made using atenolol as a template, methacrylic acid as a functional monomer, and ethylene glycol dimethacrylate as a crosslinker. Performance evaluations showed that polymers from bulk polymerization provide better performance than polymers from precipitation polymerization when tested against standard solution. However, this sorbent has low recovery percentage after applied into serum sample and could not be used as alternative for atenolol extraction in human serum.
Antibacterial Activity of Extract and Fraction From Shitake Mushroom (Lentinula edodes) Against Acne Bacteria
Ika K. Sukmawati*, Ari Yuniarto, Widhya Alighita, Ade Z. Jamaludin
Acne is an inflammatory disease in the skin triggered by the bacteria. Acne treatment can be done by using natural materials such as shiitake mushrooms (Lentinus edodes). The aims of this study were to determine the antibacterial activity of extracts and fractions of shiitake mushrooms with broth microdilution method, determine the value of equality of shiitake mushrooms with antibacterial comparator and determine the morphological changes of bacteria after test samples exposure with a Scanning Electron Microscope (SEM). The antibacterial activity conducted against Propionibacterium acnes, Staphylococcus epidermidis and Staphylococcus aureus at concentrations of 1, 2, 4, 8, 16, 32, 64, 128, 256, and 512 ppm. The best MIC value obtained in fraction of ethyl acetate and n-hexane against the test bacterium at a concentration of 256 ppm. KBM value of the n-hexane fraction against S. aureus at a concentration of 512 ppm and ethyl acetate fraction against S. aureus and S. epidermidis at a concentration of 512 ppm. Value of equality is obtained 1 mg of ethyl acetate fraction of shiitake mushrooms equivalent with 5.346 x 10-2 mg of tetracycline. SEM test results showed the presence of antibacterial activity which is indicated by a change of cell morphology, their lumps and their cell wall frown on P. acnes were exposed to ethyl acetate fraction.
Quantification of Formaldehyde Residue in Wet Noodles Marketed in Indonesia using RP-HPLC Derivatization Method
Mutakin Mutakin, Renyiska Yula, Ida Musfiroh, Nuraeni Nuraeni, Nurdjanah Azinar, and Jutti Levita
Illegal practices of formaldehyde as preservatives in wet noodles have been proven in West Java, Indonesia. Formaldehyde can cause a decrease of blood pressure, coma, acidosis, and acute renal failure. In this study we proposed a quantification method using high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC). A simulation was carried out as comparison. This simulation comprised of formaldehyde- spiked fish then the process was continued by washing, frying, and distilling the fish in a closed-system distillation. Similar condition was applied onto wet noodles samples. Method used was RP-HPLC derivatization method based on the reaction of formaldehyde carbonyl with two different reagents DNPH (2,4-dinitrophenylhydrazine) and Nash (acetyl acetone, ammonium acetate and acetic acid) reagents. Result showed that formaldehyde residue was detected and quantified in all wet noodle samples with a range of 21-59 ppm. In conclusion, this method can be used for routine analysis to control illegal practices of formaldehyde in wet noodles.

91514 Gleaning Disturbing The Beast
by amongthenumberedsaints
CIA Director John Brennan Refuses To Tell Congress Who Authorized Senate Spying
Brennan reportedly went so far as to raise his voice at the California Democrat during a heated exchange.
According to CIA spokesman Dean Boyd, Brennan refused to answer the questions on the grounds that doing so could compromise a CIA-sanctioned investigation into the matter headed up by former Indiana Democratic Sen. Evan Bayh. Brennan instead referred the questions to CIA IG David Buckley.
"Nobody in the executive branch should get away with not answering questions to a legitimate legislative inquiry," Levin said in the report. "It may or may not be appropriate for the (CIA) IG to answer, but it's not appropriate for Brennan to refuse to answer. If he doesn't know the answers, he can say so."
^^^The CIA Director should be in prison and hung for treason, after his teeth are drilled to his own CIA standard.
Controversial DHS Adviser Let Go Amid Allegations of Cover Up
Elibiary let go after extremist rhetoric, claims he improperly used classified docs
Elibiary, for instance, came under fire in June for tweeting about the "inevitable" return of the Muslim "caliphate." His tweets were later praised by affiliates of the Islamic State of Iraq and Levant (ISIL) and potentially used to recruit extremist followers.
Elibiary also has maintained that America is "an Islamic country with an Islamically compliant constitution" and argued that the Muslim Brotherhood poses no threat to the United States.
Egypt sentences Muslim Brotherhood leader Badie to life in jail
Mohamed Badie, top leader of Egypt's outlawed Muslim Brotherhood, was sentenced to life in jail along with 14 others on Monday on charges of murder and inciting violence during clashes near Cairo last year.
What is the nature of the intelligence behind the controlling power structure of the earth? How and for what purpose does it manipulate world commerce, currency and foment war? The subtle but formerly missing pieces of information gathered along the path that answers these questions will surprise many.
…and they that dwell on the earth shall wonder, whose names were not written in the book of life from the foundation of the world, when they behold the beast that was, and is not, and yet is (Rev. 17:8)
In the writings, the Master of Masters, Hermes Trismegistus is identified as Idris (prophet) the infallible Prophet who traveled to outer space from Egypt, to heaven, where Adam and the Black Stone he brought with him when he landed on earth in India,[26] originated. According to ancient Arab genealogists, Muhammad the Prophet, who also is believed to have traveled to outer space on the night of Isra and Mi'raj to the heavens is a direct lineal descendant of Hermes Trismegistus. Ibn Kathir said, "As for Idris…He is in the genealogical chain of the Prophet Muhammad, except according to one genealogist..Ibn Ishaq says he was the first who wrote with the Pen. There was a span of 380 years between him and the life of Adam. Many of the scholars allege that he was the first to speak about this, and they call him Thrice-Great Hermes [Hermes Trismegistus]".[26] Ahmad al-Buni considered himself a follower of the hermetic teachings and his contemporary Ibn Arabi mentioned Hermes Trismegistus in his writings. The Futūḥāt al-Makkiyya of Ibn Arabi speaks of his travels to 'vast cities (outside earth), possessing technologies far superior then ours'[27] and meeting with the Twelfth Imam, the Ninth (generation) from the Third (al-Husayn the third Imam) (Amiruddin referring here to the Masters of Wisdom from the Emerald Tablet), who also ascended to the heavens, and is still alive like his ancestor Hermes Trismegistus".[28].

If the above was happening in Iran, there would already be American bombs dropping on Tehran. Our foreign policy is a total joke and the whole world knows it.
The average world citizen is getting dumber while our means of doing harm are increasing. This trend is clearly not our friend.
Why Worry? The Two Scariest Charts In The World
In the recently proposed budget for fiscal year 2015, the Japanese government earmarked 31.7 trillion yen for social security, welfare and health spending. This is the largest item in the budget, consuming 31.2% of all planned government spending. And it's only getting larger.
It doesn't help that Japan is essentially already bankrupt.
Bizarre Japanese "Respect Old People Day" Holiday Is Sign of The Times
The second largest item in Japanese government's budget is interest. While social security, welfare and health spending has increased by 3% from the current budget, debt servicing is up by 11% and now amounts to 25.8 trillion yen, or an incredible 25% of Japan's budget.
So just between pensions and interest, they're spending 57.5 trillion yen. Last year they only collected 50 trillion in tax revenue.
So before they spend a single yen on anything else in government… anything at all… they're already 7 trillion yen (about $70 billion) in the hole. They have to borrow the rest.Bear in mind, this is coming at a time when interest rates for 10-year Japanese bonds are 0.5%, and even closer to zero on shorter notes.
If interest rates rise to just 1%, which is historically still very low, Japan will spend almost all of its tax revenue just to service the debt!
You can't make this stuff up. It's a screaming indicator that this system can't possibly last.

So here is a news flash for the Fed's financial stability monitoring committee. The combined beer companies today have about $60 billion of net debt. The merger deal in question would thus double the new company's debt in order to destroy several thousand breadwinner jobs.

Petrodollar Panic: EU Officials Admit Buying Oil From ISIS
We recently explained how ISIS remains so well funded but what was unclear was who exactly what purchasing their 'recently-provisioned' oil reserves? The assumption being some desperate third-world nation or some scheming offshore hedge-fund arbitrageur; however, as Sott.net reports, a senior European Union official has revealed that some EU member states have purchased oil from ISIL Takfiri militants despite their rhetoric against the group. The official declined to disclose any names but Turkey remains a front-runner (having already shunned President Obama) and potentially France (after their recent anti-Petrodollar comments)..

UK Hints At Next Reserve Currency, To Issue Chinese Yuan-Denominated Bond
Osborne described this dialogue outcome as "a historic moment" and a statement of British confidence in the potential of the RMB to become "the main global reserves currency".
"And let me be clear, as China becomes a bigger and bigger part of the world economy, their currency is going to be used around the world. We here in Britain understand that, and we want us to be the first country in the west to seize the opportunities that it will bring," declared Osborne.
Meanwhile, the issuance of Chinese currency bond means jobs and investment in Britain, which the government's long-term economic plan is all about, noted Osborne.

In the tradition of all "good" blogs I suppose I should provide some sort of introduction/bio of sorts. Gladly, I do try and keep it up to date.
My name is Sara. I am an Anaheim, California native, now currently living in Rancho Cucamonga, CA. I lived in the same house I grew up in and had slept in every bedroom (not just slept, but actually placed my stuff and lived in.) I am married (May the Fourth Be with You!) and have two WONDERFUL puppies name April & Scout (husky mix and husky respectfully) and one son. I always describe myself as a so-cal girl with a midwestern twist. I have family from both Ohio & Indiana, went to school for 4 years in Evansville, IN and sometimes my midwestern roots show a little too much 🙂 (leave me in a southern-speaking state and I might come back with a horrible drawl.)
School wise I currently have Bachelor of Arts in Theological Studies from the University of Evansville, which I obtained in 2005. I recently graduated from Fuller Theological Seminary with a Masters in Arts in Theology with a Biblical Studies emphasis and one day hope to complete a Ph.D. in some type of subject involving Theology and Language and how the interact (claiming copyright NOW to any ideas that I type in regards to this.) I also have a certification in Dog Training from Animal Behavior College and I currently have an Associate in General Insurance (AINS) which is important for my job as a Claims Adjuster. What can I say–if "professional student" was a career, I'd make a fortune.
Spiritual Life Wise: I am a follow of Christ. I try to live up to what I think we are called to be but fail miserably at most of the time. But thankfully I believe in a merciful God who gave us a Savior and Scripture as a means of trying to understand it (I might also add I don't think ANY of us will ever get there here in this life…its more like a Revelation, next life in the Kingdom of God thing.) I am also moving towards a more liturgical, traditional meaning of the church–what it means to be in community with other who are also trying to follow Christ. If this means I'm a little weird…so be it! Tradition in the church lived on for generations–so something had to be enticing about it all so why not live in a neotraiditonalist world. It doesn't mean it has to be boring, unrelated or lack significance.
I also have polycystic ovarian syndrome and are exploring myself as autistic. There are multiple posts about these two subjects and the emotional/psycological/mental stress of these two things. My son also is special needs with autistic behaviors and a speech delay. I have recognized as an autistic blogger on "An Autistic Observer" and participate frequently with pcos discussions with pcos diet support.
If you ever want to talk, chat, question, or just say something along the lines of "what's up?", please contact me on my Facebook…just be sure to tell me where you found me or if I don't recognize you, you may not get a response: https://www.facebook.com/JambaAnya

When Audrey visited me on the set of Marco Polo in Malaysia last year, she often rehearsed dialogue with Benny, the actor who played Kublai Khan. Audrey would read all the other characters to help Benny memorize his lines. Did the acting bug bite her then? I was surprised when Audrey expressed her interest in acting this week and sent in an audition tape to a young director who is shooting a short film in April. I told her that she can do it if the shooting happens during spring break. I have never wanted to involve my children in acting. The profession can be a treacherous one because hard work doesn't correlates with success. There is too much uncertainty and not enough security in this business. But I guess it's no use telling her how acting is a bad profession when I do it myself. I have long learned that you can't teach your children by telling them things. What you teach is what you are.
We will find out in a few days if Audrey will do her debut role in Las Vegas during spring break. Should I keep my fingers crossed for her?
If there is "beauty sleep," is there beauty food? I think the salad I made for dinner comes close to "beauty food" if there ever is one.
Beet Salad with Avocado and Grapefruit
3 small cooked beets
1 avocado
1 large pink grapefruit
Salt and Pepper to taste
This simple salad is it's own dressing. With the oil in the avocado and the citrusy juice from the grapefruit, all you need is a little salt and pepper if anything. I used organic cooked beets from Love Beets. It took me less than 10 minutes to make this delicious and satisfying salad. Give it a vigorous toss before serving to mix the flavors of the three ingredients.

This paper analyzes Lu Xun's, "Diary of a Madman", written in 1918 response to China's feudalistic society that was still hanging on since ancient times despite the Revolution of 1911. In particular, the paper discusses Lu Xun's use of cannibalism as a symbol for the ancient ways because the history of China was filled with it. The paper relates that Lu Xun's story exposes the cannibalistic feudal society of pre-revolutionary China and concludes that Lu Xun felt that if the people of China could get past tradition and fear, there could be hope for a new social norm.
From the Paper:"China was filled with it. He tells of a traditional ceremony where a son of an ill parent "should slice off a piece of his own flesh, boil it, and let (the parent) eat it" (41). There were also passages about eating human flesh in ancient medical texts and historical books (34). One ancient "medical" cure for tuberculosis was to eat a bread roll that had been soaked in human blood (38), a treatment that yielded few survivors. In one historical text the meat of a human infant was mentioned as being a delicacy (38). Also, stories have been documented in that famines in China have caused villages to resort to cannibalism in order to survive. Just prior to the revolution, a fellow member of Lu Xun's hometown of Shaoxing, Xu Xilin, was executed for a revolutionary-based murder of a Qing official. When he was captured the bodyguards of the official cut out Xu Xilin's heart and liver and ate them (38). "

The Rise of Airbnb: How Hotels Can Fight Back
10 years ago, the world was dealing with one of the greatest economic downturns in modern history. For much or 2008 and 2009, hotels were simply focused on surviving. At the same time, a new company was emerging; one that would go on to disrupt the entire hospitality industry. That start-up was Airbnb. Now located in over 190 countries, Airbnb has altered the way in which travel shoppers research and book accommodation, and hotels are feeling the effect. Hoteliers need to understand why Airbnb is succeeding and how to adapt their digital strategy to compete. Download this eBook to learn what Airbnb is doing differently to win over traveler shoppers, and 4 best practices to improve your hotel's digital experience and win more bookings.
Chapters In This Resource
Ch. 1: The Rise of Airbnb
In 10 short years, Airbnb has exploded in popularity to become the second most valuable accommodation provider behind Marriott.
Ch. 2: Airbnb's Secret Sauce
What's fueling Airbnb's success? We narrow it down to 3 main things.
Ch. 3: Airbnb Means Business
Airbnb has big plans for the future that include corporate travel. See how much this market segment has grown for Airbnb in just 2 years!
Ch. 4: How Travelers Shop for Airbnb Rentals
Airbnb's platform is based largely on creating local authentic experiences, while hotels are still focused on price and availability. This presents an excellent opportunity for hotels to compete directly with Airbnb in ways never thought possible.
Ch. 5: How to Win Against Airbnb
See our 4 best practices for how to create a winning digital experience that rivals Airbnb and connects with travel shoppers.
"For many travelers, Airbnb is viewed as a breath of fresh air in the hospitality industry; a solution for all tastes and budgets that provides a unique experience every time. Hosts are given the freedom to tell their unique story – something that chain hotels are challenged to do on their respective brand.com websites.
Hosts can inject their own personality, upload their own images, describe the neighborhood, and even provide a digital guidebook of the area. Airbnb relies on guest reviews to validate what it being said by each host. This all contributes to the authenticity of Airbnb, and builds trust in the minds of travel shoppers.

FlightPlan for Liver
Case 1
Case 2
Case 3
Fast Facts
- 1st commercialized solution2 that compensates for involuntary respiratory motion artifacts on Interventional CBCT.
- Physicians estimate that up to 40%3 of CBCT acquisitions are unusable due to involuntary respiratory motion artifacts.
- In up to 25%3 of CBCT images affected by involuntary respiratory motion, Motion Freeze, by potentially reducing the need to repeat CBCT acquisitions, may help minimize radiation dose and contrast media injection.
- 39% (1.9 billion) of the world adult population is overweight (BMI<25) or obese.4 These patients may have more difficulties holding their breath during the intervention. Motion Freeze provides an additional option for physicians to use CBCT even if they are affected by involuntary respiratory motion artifacts.
- Facilitate access to advanced solutions such as FlightPlan for Liver, delivering results up to: 97% improved sensitivity in identifying tumor feeding vessels, 30% less mean number of DSA, 11% reduction in procedure time for a single TACE session5 and ~68% complete tumor response versus DSA alone (36%)6 .
*The improvement related to Motion Freeze depends on the acquisition conditions, table position, patient, type of motion, anatomical location and clinical
practice. Motion Freeze is an optional feature of 3DXR (part of GE vascular systems IGS 5, IGS 6 and IGS 7 or IGS 7OR). 3DXR cannot be placed on the
market or put into service until it has been made to comply with all required regulatory authorizations including the Medical Device Directive requirements
for CE marking. Motion Freeze cannot be marketed in countries where market authorization is required and not yet obtained. Refer to your sales representative.

A local area network (LAN) is a computer network covering a small local area, like a home, office, or small group of buildings such as a home, office, or college. Current LANs are most likely to be based on switched Ethernet or Wi-Fi technology running at 10, 100 or 1,000 Mbit/s.
The defining characteristics of LANs in contrast to WANs (wide area networks) are: their much higher data rates; smaller geographic range; and that they do not require leased telecommunication lines.
source - Local area network. (2006, August 26). In Wikipedia, The Free Encyclopedia. Retrieved August 31, 2006, from http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Local_area_network
In a typical Hautspot design, the WLAN (Wireless LAN, or hotspot or hotzone) runs in parallel with any existing LAN. Sputnik's firewalling technology keeps public WLAN traffic walled off from the private network (LAN), while enabling the sharing of a single broadband internet connection. In addition, SSID Client Isolation technology keeps individual WLAN clients separate from one another, as an added security feature.

By Marcus Richardson: Amir Khan could fight undefeated WBA interim welterweight champion Diego Chaves (22-0, 18 KO's) next on December 15th. In an interview at Ole.com, Chaves said that he'd been contacted by Khan's people about a fight with him. Chaves doesn't know how much he'd be getting and when the fight would take place if he agreed to take the fight. He's just thinking it over to decide whether he wants to take the fight.
Chaves would undoubtedly be asked to move down to 140 to take the fight with Khan, because Khan has made it clear that he doesn't plan on moving up in weight right now and who can blame him. Khan has lost his last two fights and his career is on the brink of being finished. Chaves is a risky fight for Khan, because this guy can punch and is in the same class as former Khan conquerors Breidis Prescott and Danny Garcia in terms of power.
The fact that Chaves is being asked to take the fight seems to suggest that Khan's promoters at Golden Boy Promotions need to find a guy with a good record and some ability before HBO will agree to take him for Khan's next fight in December.
It's been rumored that HBO has already said no to two opponents offered up for Khan – Joan Guzman and Humberto Soto. Chaves doesn't have as much mileage on him as those two fighters and he's a legitimate welterweight. If he gets forced to move down to 140 to make the fight happen, it could weaken him enough to where Khan would have a better chance of beating him than if Chaves were at full strength and not weakened from weight loss.
Khan needs to end his two fight losing streak because it's starting to get dire now. It seemed like it was only yesterday that Khan was talking about wanting to get Floyd Mayweather Jr. in the ring to try and prove who the best fighter in boxing is pound for pound. Now it would be an absolute joke to consider Khan in any kind of pound for pound category.
If Khan is forced to fight Chaves we could see Khan take a third consecutive loss because this guy is a pressure fighter in the same mold as Marcos Maidana. Chaves likes to throw a lot of uppercuts. In fact, that seems to be his favorite punch and you can expect he'd throw it a lot with Khan if he tries to get in close and grab him around the back of the head the way that Khan was grabbing Lamont Peterson in their fight last December.
It's more than likely that Golden Boy will look to find a weaker puncher than Chaves for Khan to fight because this guy is too dangerous. The last thing that Khan needs is a fighter like Chaves looking to take his head off with every punch. Anyone that faces Khan at this point will be swinging for the fences knowing how vulnerable he is to big shots.

We still have around 10 days left before we hear anything officially from HTC about their big announcement that surrounds the upcoming HTC One M8, but more and more leaks seem to just keep springing up. The amount of leaks at this point has reached epic proportions and some have argued or speculated that this was all a plan from HTC to shove the thoughts about the new flagship device into our minds. At this rate it seems like the M8 has more leaks than any phone in history combined, with some of the latest being a leaked image showing the ChinaMobile branding on the back, and now this one today of the sign from a popular British retailer showing the phone coming on the 25th, with a message to register and be the first to get it.
The sign is actually fairly clever in the way that they tease the new phone. An image of what seems to be the HTC One M8 is pixelated out of focus, along with a message that says The best gets better, accompanied by the announcement date. Thus far we've haven't seen any advertisements go up stateside about the new device yet, or perhaps we just haven't noticed any. The very first ad for the One M8 was actually placed outside one of London's high-end department stores, but without an actual picture of the device. While this sign posted outside of Phones4U isn't really a leak, it does seem to play with consumers who may be excited with and intrigued over the new phone to come.
When added to the rather ridiculous amount of leaks that out there which includes the infamous 12 minute demo video that we saw just a week or two ago, this stunt from the phone retailer seems only an attempt to get customers even more excited and get people to register and purchase the phones at their establishment. The days keep counting down until March 25th, where we'll see big announcements at a special event in both New York and London for the HTC One M8, and even though it seem we know all there is to know about the device we can't wait to see if HTC has held anything back.

We went through the process of storyboarding and drawing each cell for each character and then layering it on the various backgrounds to move the characters around.
In the past it took 4-5 years and 2-3000 artists to make a movie since you need 24 scenes for each second of the movie but now everything is digitalized. In this movie, they used a new process to make the characters seem more human.
Directed by Dorothy McKim, Produced by Stephen Anderson and based on the book A Day with Wilbur Robinson by William Joyce 'Meet the Robinsons' is a fun 3D animated movie that is not just for kids. Everyone can learn the lesson of the movie Forget the Past, Keep Moving Forward.
Lewis,( Daniel Hansen) the hero of the movie but not the hero of the book, is a baby left at the steps of an orphanage by a mother who truly loved him. The orphanage woman who takes care of him, Millie is Angela Bassett, Lewis longs for a family and then focuses on finding his mother. A brilliant inventor, even at his young age of 12, Lewis decides to build a memory scanner to access the areas of the brain that hold memory so that he can see what his mother looked like and find her.
On his way to the science fair, he is waylaid by a boy, Wilbur Robinson,( Jordan Fry) who claims to be from the future. Lewis does not believe him that some man in a bowler hat is coming to hunt Lewis. Alas, that is the truth as the bald villain and his bowler hat named Doris reduce the memory scanner to rubble.
Once again Will shows and tries to get Lewis to fix the scanner. He shows Lewis the truth by taking him forward' and getting stuck there.
At the Robinson's house, he is introduced to numerous members including Wilbur's mom who trains frogs to sing and a robot named Carl ( Harlan Williams) a relative it would seem of R2D2 from Starwars. Carl is very upset that Wilbur has brought this future boy home and Wilbur tries to hide the
fact that Lewis is from the future. Mrs. Fran Robinson ( Nicole Sullivan), falls in love with the young Lewis and finding out he is an orphan wants to adopt him but then learns that he is from the past and tells him he must go back. She also points out that no failure is every a failure because you learn from it.
Meanwhile Bowler Hat man and Doris ( Ethan Sandler - who plays a number of roles) have returned to the future to try and capture Lewis. They made a mess of trying to sell the memory scanner to the invention company and realize that they need Lewis to show them how it works.
Capturing Lewis, Bowler Hat man is just about to sell the invention when Lewis, seeing the future in his memory scanner, realizes that Doris the hat is up to no good. He stops Bowler Hat man just in time and learns that this was his old roommate at the orphanage who held a grudge all these years because he was never adopted. He meets his older self, Cornelius Robinson ( Tom Selleck) Lewis realizes that the choices are his entirely on how he wants to deal with the past and the future.
At the science fair, Lewis shows everyone how the memory scanner really works and it is instantly bought by the invention company. All the relationships fall in place as Lewis realizes that he is really Wilbur's father. Lucille, Laurie Metcalf, the caffeined up science lady becomes his aunt. Lewis still longs to learn about his mother and he does' but he realizes then that if he confronts her, the future will not be the same. He has let go of the past and keep moving forward.
A worthwhile movie for the kids and adults, too. Experience the future as Disney imagines it and hear Adam West as the notorious Uncle Art, Tom Kenny as Mr. Willerstein the science teacher.
In conjunction with the movie, games for all the various platforms are being put forth.
These games for PlayStation 2, Nintendo DS, Game Boy Advance, Xbox 360, Game Cube, and PC will feature not Lewis's adventure alone but will go into Wilbur's future and the adventures they and other family members have to explore.
The key of these games is the large scale environments that go beyond the move universe and fully explore the Robinson's Home with all it's new gadgets as the Chargeball Glove, Disassembler, Scanner, Family Album, Havoc Gloves and Levitation Ray; the science fair, and Lizzie's Aunt Underworld. Play Charge Ball, the sport of the future.
The games allow the players to travel to past and future and alter events. Characters from the movie as well as new characters will be introduced. Upgrades are hidden and accessible only upon completing the current mission or interactive puzzle.

The following article was published February 9,2015, by the New York Public Library. I have re posted it here because it best describes my blogging's purpose, reasons, and experiences. The information I've gathered, the places I've been and the very kind people that I have come into contact with through my research and writing adventures has been phenomenally rewarding! If you have ever entertained researching and writing about your family's history, then this may be just the push you need to help you decide to simply jump in and do it!

If you have done any family history research, such as looking for records on Ancestry.com and FamilySearch.org or conducting interviews with older family members, you may have pondered writing about your genealogy research. Here are 20 reasons why you should cease pondering and start writing:
You'll feel wiser.
From Ancestry.com, Global Study of Users, 2014, one-third of online adults used the Internet to learn more about their family history:
- 67% said that knowing their family history has made them feel wiser as a person.
- 72% said it helped them be closer to older relatives.
- 52% said they discovered ancestors they had not known about.
First person narratives and family histories are important historical documents.
From The Story of You: A Guide for Writing Your Personal Stories and Family History, John Bond, 2014:
- "You are doing a service by leaving a legacy, no matter how small or large."
- "The interesting stories in your life have become familiar to you… The novelty of these stories is most apparent to someone hearing them for the first time."
You are an important person. You have things to pass on, to your children, to your local history society, to unknown future generations.
"The entire story of mankind has come to us from individual voices from the past." Family Focused: A Step-By-Step Guide to Writing Your Autobiography and Family History, Janice T. Dixon, 1997
You and your family are important to somebody, probably many somebodies.
"Just watch… 'It's a Wonderful Life' to see how many ways one life touches so many others. The few families on the Mayflower probably produced more than 20 million descendants."
The Story of You: A Guide for Writing Your Personal Stories and Family History, John Bond, 2014
Family trees are abstract. Stories add depth.
"It makes names into real, live people. Family stories help you and your family become more than a birth and a death date."
The Story of You: A Guide for Writing Your Personal Stories and Family History, John Bond, 2014
Memories over time become fragmented and distorted. People may not remember the things you told them but did not write down.
"I am not famous or rich, but I still want to be remembered."
Family Focused: A Step-By-Step Guide to Writing Your Autobiography and Family History, Janice T. Dixon, 1997
Writing your family history gives you the chance to depict your ancestors how you see fit.
"You cannot write our story. You have no right."
In 2004, Native Americans react to depictions of their ancestors in documents about Lewis & Clark.
History News, Summer 2014
There is a need for diverse family histories about those who have not been represented well in history texts.
"For members of marginalized groups, speaking personally and truthfully about our lives plays a small part in erasing years of invisibility and interpretation by others."
Writing the Memoir: From Truth to Art, Judith Barrington, 1997
There is a need for more family histories documenting female lines.
"The traditional descendants-of genealogy usually begins with the immigrant and follows descendants for some number of generations. Often they have a paternalistic bent and follow only male descendants who bore the surname….In the future we hope to see less short-changing of maternal lines and collateral lines in published material."
Producing a Quality Family History, Patricia Law Hatcher, 1996
There is a need for more family histories about families who are not affluent.
"Genealogical publishing [in the past] was accessible primarily to the affluent…. Modern genealogists are researching ancestors who are relatively recent immigrants, landless, illiterate, living on the frontier or migrating. There seems to be a trend away from idealizing our ancestors."
Producing a Quality Family History, Patricia Law Hatcher, 1996
Family histories humanize the people you know or knew and remember for those who did not know them.
"The generations slipped away as I shared her grief for a moment. In reading her words I felt closer to my grandmother than I ever have."

Information raises questions. Genealogy research has brought new facts into your life.
"They research and write down when and where mom and dad were married. I don't want to say accurate facts aren't important, but I do question priorities here. The facts, or at least the important facts, of mom and dad's marriage were not where and when it took place but what they made of it."
For All Time: A Complete Guide to Writing Your Family History, Charley Kempthorne, 1996
It may help you understand your current family dynamics.
"I spent a year writing my story which is also my mother's story and the story of our family. It was a most enlightening time for me, one I treasure, because it forced me to look at my life, re-shape it in many ways, and to laugh at things that I had taken so seriously before. I matured in many ways and became more tolerant and caring. It also freed me from some of my doubts and fears."
Family Focused: A Step-By-Step Guide to Writing Your Autobiography and Family History, Janice T. Dixon, 1997
It will help you build or solidify a sense of family.
"I suggest that family history is more important than any other history simply because family is the fundamental, rock-bottom unit of society."
For All Time: A Complete Guide to Writing Your Family History, Charley Kempthorne, 1996
Writing is reflective. Writing is investing in yourself.
"In writing your personal history, you put perspective and purpose in your life. You begin to understand yourself better than you ever have."
Family Focused: A Step-By-Step Guide to Writing Your Autobiography and Family History, Janice T. Dixon, 1997
It can be therapeutic.
"Studies show that writing about oneself and personal experiences can improve mood disorders, help reduce symptoms among cancer patients, improve a person's health after a heart attack, reduce doctor visits and even boost memory…. Writing — and then rewriting — your personal story can lead to behavioral changes and improve happiness."
New York Times, "Writing Your Way To Happiness," Tara Parker-Pope, January 19, 2015
Don't take for granted that the lives of your ancestors are lost. Evidence of the people they have been exists somewhere and is discoverable.
"Virtually all my finds have been made from old manuscripts in public repositories and have been of the family moving, not in the company of celebrities…, but among people as little known to fame as themselves."
How to Write a Family History: The Lives and Times of Our Ancestors, Terrick FitzHugh, 1988
"It will have a wider impact than you might imagine."
After publishing some of her family histories and donating to libraries and archives, author Penny Stratton heard from other researchers that they had found leads and data in her writings.
American Ancestors, Spring 2014
Family members and even distant cousins may become more forward in contributing documents, photos, and stories for your genealogical research.
"It's cousin-bait."
Genea-Musings, "Why Do You Write About Your Personal Research?" Randy Seaver, January 2015
You will be encouraged to archive and preserve the documents on which your family history research is based: certificates, letters, diaries, etc.
"These documents function within the family in the same way that important documents of our common history function within the nation."
For All Time: A Complete Guide to Writing Your Family History, Charley Kempthorne, 1996
Writing Your Family History is a class offered by the Milstein Division of United States History, Local History and Genealogy. Please check our website for upcoming dates. If you have a family history that you would like to donate to libraries, consider the New York Public Library (details on our FAQ) and the Library of Congress.

Paper for "Nature Climate Change" warns negative emissions must remain secondary to severe reduction of greenhouse gas.
There are significant constraints to large-scale deployment of negative emissions technologies in the future to reach climate change targets, according to a new study, including research of Jan Minx and the Mercator Research Institute on Global Commons and Climate Change (MCC).
Published today in Nature Climate Change, it demonstrates the potential environmental, economic, and energy impacts of negative emission technologies for addressing climate change. The study comes at a time when UN climate negotiators currently meet in Paris at the world climate summit COP21 and emphasizes that greenhouse gas emissions must be reduced aggressively and immediately.
"At the current state of play in climate diplomacy, negative emission technologies will have to be part of the policy solution. Therefore, we need to study them much more carefully", said Jan Minx from the Hertie School. "The more successful we are in the short-run to reduce global greenhouse gas emissions, the less we will depend on their risky large-scale deployment in the long-run. So all eyes on Paris, really."
Negative emission technologies aim to remove carbon dioxide (CO2), a major driver of climate change, from the atmosphere. They include relatively simple options like planting more trees to lock up CO2 as they grow, or crushing rocks that naturally absorb CO2 and spreading them on soils so that they remove CO2 more rapidly. Other higher-tech options include using chemicals to absorb CO2 from the air, or burning plants for energy and capturing the CO2 that would otherwise be released, then storing it permanently deep below the ground, called bioenergy with carbon capture and storage (BECCS).
The study confirms and warns that future use of negative emissions should not be interpreted as a fall-back option. This would be risky, as continuing to cumulate emissions would entail lower chances of stabilizing climate change at less than two degrees Celsius. "Plan A" must be to reduce greenhouse gas emissions aggressively now. A failure to initiate such aggressive emissions cuts may leave us with no "Plan B" to stabilize the climate within the two degree target, as the deployment of these technologies will likely be limited due to any combination of the environmental, economic or energy constraints examined in the study.

Lamu, March 30, 2017
We wish to clarify media reports that the Energy Regulatory Commission (ERC) has not granted a license to Amu Power for the proposed 1,050 MW coal power plant in Lamu County. Rather, the ERC published a response to Save Lamu's objection to the issuance of a license to Amu Power. This does NOT mean that a licence has been granted.
The dismissal was published in the Kenya Gazette notice, no. 1256 of 24th February 2017. The ERC dismissed Save Lamu's objection on several broad claims, namely that: the communities affected by the project do not object to the license, that all economic, environmental and social issues have been addressed in the Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA), and that Kenya needs coal power. However, the ERC are still deliberating and a decision has yet to be made on the granting of the electricity generation license.
To make the above decision, the Commission claims to have held a public hearing in Lamu to hear the community's complaints. While the ERC sent commissioners to Lamu on 6th December to hear Save Lamu's objections, Save Lamu insists that a fair hearing was not given.
The hearing was to be held in Lamu town with members of Save Lamu and representatives of Amu Power, but on the eve of the hearing, the ERC changed the venue and moved the hearing to the proposed coal plant site. The drastic change of venue gave inadequate time for complainants to mobilize. Furthermore, the site is 20 kilometers away from Lamu, in an area inaccessible to most community members, especially affected fishermen. To access the area, members would have to use boat and boda boda at a cost of Ksh 3,500 per person.
As a result, the only participants able to attend the hearing were the ERC, Amu Power representatives and landowners, who have a conflict of interest in the matter, as they will be receiving compensation for their land. Fishermen, tourism operators, and other project affected persons were excluded.
Save Lamu sent a letter to the ERC requesting them to hold another hearing in a more accessible location, where the majority of affected people would be able to attend. The ERC never replied to our request. Instead, on 24 February 2017, a gazette notice from the ERC discounted Save Lamu's objections, without holding a fair public hearing, and intentionally excluding those opposed to the project.
Save Lamu maintains its objection to the issuance of a license to Amu Power. The objection focuses on three main areas: technical, environmental and economical. The issues raised have yet to be adequately analysed, thus creating major gaps in Amu Power's assessment of the coal power plant, which need to be addressed sufficiently.
If fully addressed, Save Lamu believes that a licence will not be issued. Alternative forms of renewable energy can cost-effectively provide the desired power without damaging the health and environment of the community. We also argue that the cost of coal will be higher than anticipated and Kenyan taxpayers will pay the price.
Considering that a license is yet to be issued, Save Lamu remains optimistic and will continue to pursue any legally available means to ensure it remains that way.
Save Lamu is a coalition of over 35 community groups who have long been advocating on sustainable development in Lamu. Save Lamu's aim is to engage communities and stakeholders so as to ensure participatory decision-making, achieve sustainable and responsible development and preserve the environmental, social and cultural integrity of the Lamu community. Save Lamu is currently partnering with other national and international partners under the banner of "deCOALonize" to campaign for alternatives to coal and embracing clean energy in Kenya.

On the Internet, traffic has always been valued at a premium. For good reason too.
Without traffic ecommerce sites would fail to turn a profit and PPC sites would just be a waste of cyberspace.
Traffic is what powers sellers and provides hope for burgeoning marketers. With a reliable source of traffic, anyone can make a profit.
It's obvious why traffic is placed at such a premium. Without customers, any business wouldn't succeed, and on the Internet, customers come in the form for traffic. With statistics playing such an important role in the productivity of a website, if you can maintain a consistent conversion rate, more traffic directly results in more sales which means more money.
With such an importance placed on traffic, driving traffic has become an obsession for Internet marketers. Those marketers who can drive more traffic wield more power and those who can't are continuously seeking traffic shortcuts.
There are many different kinds of traffic shortcuts that exist, mostly in the form of a traffic exchanges. A traffic exchange is a website that will guarantee any website traffic in exchange for the owner flipping through a list of websites himself. The exchange is fair, usually tying the amount of traffic guaranteed to the number of pages the website owner surfs. For example, if I want traffic to my website, I'd be given a list of websites to visit. In a simple scenario, if I visit 100 sites, I'm promised 100 users to my site.
Traffic exchanges can be effective, but most marketers find the traffic garnered from such exchanges fairly useless. Shortcuts are usually shortcuts for a reason. If they worked well, everyone would be using them and they would become the standard way to drive traffic.
A more effective way to shortcut your way to driving traffic is with an ad exchange. An ad exchange is an agreement made with two or more websites where each party agrees to exchange ads on each other's site. It's generally a straight forward agreement and in a simple exchange, every website should be receiving as many visitors as it is giving.
Unfortunately, not all ad exchanges are simple and most marketers feel cheated by these types of exchanges. The general feeling with such exchanges is why trade a customer before you know his worth. If you hope a user clicks on a banner, why not make that banner profitable instead.
There is one kind of traffic shortcut that is receiving a lot of notoriety lately. It's called an exit ad exchange and it's based on the ad exchange concept, though with one major difference. Exit ad exchanges work the same exact way that a normal ad exchange works, except that it is shown only after a customer leaves your site.
The beauty behind such an idea is that if a customer has already left your site, then you know exactly what his value is to you. If a user isn't going to click on anything on your site, he's a perfect candidate to trade to another site where he might click on something that is more to his liking. So each visitor is given the option of continuing his surf of the Internet on a related site and in exchange, the forwarding website will receive a customer in return.
Since exit ad exchanges are very new and require specialized software, only a few exchanges currently exist. If you want to see how well an exit ad will work on your site, I recommend going to http://www.ExitPollAds.com/1285 to see ExitPollAds.
ExitPollAds is a free membership site that not only will provide you with an easy way to increase your traffic, but it has an integrated exit poll built in so you can find out as much information as possible about your customers.
If traffic is the lifeblood of your business, then you should always be looking for effective shortcuts. If more people start using exit ad exchanges, though, then sooner or later, they won't be considered a shortcut anymore.

I Am Currently In The Military And Have Been Having Severe Knee Pain For The Past 2 - 2 1/2 Years. It Is Extreamly Painfull To Run, Hike, Squat/kneel, Or Walk Up Stairs. In Early 2007 I Ran Out Required Physical Fitness Test Which Was A 3 Mile Run. The Day After I Couldn't Bend My Knee, And It Killed Me To Walk, But I Did It.
During This Time I Have Gone To My Local Military Doctor. At First They Diagnosed Me With Pfps, Treatment Motrin. I Returned About A Week Later With The Same Pain, And Again Diagnosed With Pfps Treatment Motrin. This Went On For About 6-8 Months. I Went Back In And They Finally Ordered X-rays, And They Said They Were Normal. Sence Then I Have Had 5 X-rays And Agin All Is Normal It's Pfps, Motrin. Well In 2007 After Our Physical Test I Went In But To A Different Doctor, And They Ordered X-rays. The Doc Came In Hey Your Knee Cap Is Broken. So He Orders An Mri And For Me To Go To Physical Therapy. The So Called Physical Therapyst (this Is The Military) Said It's Not Broken It's A Bipartite Patella And You Were Born With It. Oh And There Is Nothing We Can Do. What The Heck / Before The Military I Was A Fulltime Firefighter, And Before That I Was A Detention Officer At The County Jail. I Never Had On Single Issue With My Knees. I Have Seen 3 Different "specialists" And The Last One Said Well You Shouldn't Do Things That Hurt And When You Get Out Get A Job That Doesn't Require You Be Physical.
Has Anyone Else Had This Problem? Or Anyone Have Any Suggestions Beside Beating The Crap Out Of The Doctors????

CMBA Meeting Notes
At our May 13 meeting, we heard from Lisa Mentesana and Mary Metheny, Beaverton School District's Homeless Liaison Specialists. They told us about the many ways that students at Sunset High and other area schools can become homeless, and about the challenges that they face. They discussed ways that CMBA members can help.
At the end of the meeting, several members of our Community Outreach Committee met with Lisa and Mary and decided that CMBA will support the Birthday Club, a program where the kids will receive a card and gift certificate on their birthday. We are also going to participate in "mock interviews," which helps kids gain job interview skills by meeting with business people.
We also held a roundtable discussion of collection methods. Becky Jarvis, Electronics Unlimited, provided a handout, and attorney Dean Shade discussed Oregon law.
The Membership Committee will be producing a CMBA brochure, and then making personal visits to area businesses to encourage membership. We have set a three-year goal of 100 members. We ended last year with 59 members, and this year we're already over 50 members. With added benefits and more community involvement, we feel it's a reachable goal.
The Downtown Enhancement Committee announced its first Adopt-A-Landscape event on Saturday, May 10. The event was a great success and even with a small group, on one of those very hot days in May, we cleared all the weeds and trash from the overlook area on Cornell. The county doesn't maintain the landscaping they put in as part of the Cornell road project, so it's up to us, the people who care about keeping Cedar Mill beautiful. You don't have to be a CMBA member to participate. The next weeding party will be on Saturday, June 28 from 9-10:30. Bales Thriftway is offering a free barbecue lunch to all participants. Contact Virginia Bruce at 503-629-5799 or firstname.lastname@example.com to volunteer.
The Program Committee came up with a great list of topics and speakers for the coming year. We're looking forward to relevant and interesting topics.
The Publicity Committee circulated a signup sheet for businesses that want to man a booth at the Farmers' Market. The CMBA will be there at least once a month throughout the summer, promoting individual businesses and the organization.
The next meeting is on June 10, noon at the Leedy Grange, 835 NW Saltzman. (The library meeting room is unavailable for the summer, so we're meeting across the street at the Grange Hall.) Kathie England, Time for Success Inc., will be presenting a program on Office Organization Strategies for small and home-based business. Free pizza as always!

It was not that long ago that I actually thought it was illegal to own a handgun in Canada. I knew all kinds of people with shotguns and rifles, but I had never heard of anyone owning an actual handgun. Then a deranged and jealous man shot his ex-girlfriend and her boyfriend a short drive from my house with a legally purchased handgun. A few days ago someone was convicted of first degree murder for shooting his girlfriend in St. John's with a legally purchased handgun. I find it surprising that so many Canadians look at Americans as being a bunch of gun nuts but yet it is extremely easy to buy a handgun in Canada.
People have shotguns and hunting rifles for hunting. Hunting, particularly on the island of Newfoundland, is a good thing. Aside from providing healthy food for people, it helps control the moose population, which in turn lowers the risk of dying by crashing into a moose on the highway. The reason that people have handguns is that they really like shooting handguns.
As I understand it, people with handguns are only allowed to use them at shooting ranges. If you apply for a license to own a handgun and state that the reason why you want one is to keep it under your mattress so you can shoot intruders you would no doubt be turned down, but yet people who like shooting at the range are allowed to keep a handgun and ammunition in their home. If you are granted a permit to use a handgun at a shooting range then it would seem reasonable that the handgun should stay at the shooting range. You should have some kind of locker there and not be allowed to remove it or the bullets from the range.
I understand that there are background checks and if you have some kind of conviction for a violent offence you probably cannot own a handgun. The one blind spot in these regulations is that men who abuse women often do not have convictions for violent assaults. They are too cowardly to pick a fight with a man so they tend to seek out vulnerable women who won't report abuse, and so they never end up with a violent conviction, not until it is too late. There may be people out there right now who are not leaving an abusive relationship because they know their partner has a loaded handgun in the house and has threatened to use it.
If you are the type of person who really enjoys shooting handguns, I don't think you are the type of person who should have a handgun in your house. Think about it, if you have a neighbour whose favourite hobby is shooting off handguns, would you feel comfortable with him having a loaded handgun in his house? I suspect you would feel much safer if the person had his gun locked up at the shooting range a 30 minute drive away on the Trans-Canada. Why would a responsible handgun owner have any objection to storing his guns at a licensed shooting range?
