Combination checkpoint blockade before surgery (neoadjuvant therapy) produced a high response rate among patients with high-risk stage 3 melanoma, with nearly half having no sign of disease at surgery, but a high incidence of side effects caused the trial to be closed early.
The phase II study was led by researchers at The University of Texas MD Anderson Cancer Center.
Results of the study, the first randomized neoadjuvant clinical trial of immune checkpoint blockade for melanoma patients, are reported in Nature Medicine.
Patients received either the PD-1 inhibitor nivolumab or the combination of nivolumab and the CTLA-4 checkpoint inhibitor ipilimumab.
Each drug blocks a separate off-switch on T cells, freeing the immune system to attack cancer.
All patients received nivolumab after surgery.
On the combination arm, 8 of 11 (73 percent) patients had their tumours shrink, 5 (45 percent) had no evidence of disease at surgery (pathological complete response), and 73 percent had grade 3 side effects, causing dose delays in 64 percent and delaying surgery for some.
There were no grade 4 side effects.
In the nivolumab arm, 3 of 12 (25 percent) had their tumours shrink and had pathological complete response, only 8 percent had grade 3 side effects.
Two patients progressed to stage 4 metastatic disease before they could get to surgery.
"In this trial, treatment with single-agent anti-PD-1 was associated with modest response rates, and we were concerned that two patients on that arm progressed and could not go to surgery," said co-first author Rodabe Amaria, M.D., assistant professor of Melanoma Medical Oncology. "Treatment with combined checkpoint blockade was much more effective, but at the expense of significant toxicity. It is clear from this trial that we need to further optimize this treatment approach."
All of those who achieved pathological complete response in either arm remain without evidence of disease recurrence.
Overall survival was 100 percent at 24 months in the combination arm and 75 percent in the nivolumab arm.
"The advantage of a neoadjuvant approach in this setting is that it enables an interval evaluation of the tumour cells after therapy to determine the extent to which those tumour cells responded to the therapy in real time and predict which patients are likely to experience durable responses going forward. It also provides us the tissue resources to determine why tumours may not respond to therapy and thus tailor therapies going forward as we learn more about resistance," said co-senior author on the study, Michael Tetzlaff, M.D. Ph.D., associate professor of Pathology and Translational and Molecular Pathology.
Checkpoint blockade has been effective against metastatic melanoma and in reducing the risk of relapse after surgery for high-risk stage 3 disease.
However, there is evidence in preclinical models that treatment before surgery may be superior to giving these agents in the adjuvant setting (after surgery).
Amaria and senior author Jennifer Wargo, M.D., associate professor of Surgical Oncology and Genomic Medicine, launched the investigator-initiated trial through MD Anderson's Moon Shots Program™, a collaborative effort to accelerate the development of scientific discoveries into clinical advances that save patients' lives.
Due to the results of this study, the team re-designed the study to explore the safety and efficacy of nivolumab plus relatlimab, an inhibitor of the LAG3 immune checkpoint, a combination that Amaria notes thinks may be more effective than nivolumab alone with a better side effect profile than treatment with combined CTLA-4 and PD-1 blockade.
Identifying biomarkers of response and resistance
"This presurgical platform provides an ideal setting to study biomarkers of response, mechanisms of resistance, and differential effects of these two commonly used treatment regimens," said co-first author Sangeetha Reddy, M.D., instructor in Cancer Medicine. "In this study we confirmed known biomarkers of response and observed novel biomarkers of therapeutic response that we are now studying further".
Analysis of biopsies and blood samples taken at multiple time points during the trial revealed:
This trial was performed in parallel to a trial co-led by Christian Blank, M.D., Ph.D., and Ton Schumacher, Ph.D. of the Netherlands Cancer Institute - who tested the use of neoadjuvant versus adjuvant (post-surgical) treatment with combined CTLA-4 and PD-1 blockade in a similar patient population.
"The findings in their trial are provocative, demonstrating that a higher number of tumour-resident TCRs expanded in the peripheral blood of patients receiving neoadjuvant as opposed to adjuvant checkpoint blockade - supportive of what was seen in preclinical models - and suggests that the neoadjuvant approach may be superior." Wargo said.
This MD Anderson-led team is now working with others worldwide in an international neoadjuvant melanoma consortium to harmonize these efforts.

Tuesday, June 12, 2018
US bank Citi has warned that it could shed half of its 20,000 tech and ops staff in the next five years due to the rise of robotics and automation.
The prediction was made by the president and chief executive of the bank's institutional clients group, Jamie Forese, who was interviewd by the Financial Times (FT).
The 20,000 operational staff account for more than 40% of the bank's total employees and are "most fertile for machine processing" according to Forese.
He is not the first to forecast mass job losses as a result of automation. Deutsche Bank boss John Cryan issued a similar warning in 2017, suggesting half of its workforce could be replaced by robots. Meanwhile a 2016 report from the World Economic Forum predicted that advances in automation will lead to the loss of over 5 million jobs in 15 major developed and emerging economies by 2020.
Forese's comments though represent a more dramatic forecast of potential job losses than in the past. According to research from the FT, 60,000 jobs were lost to automation at eight of the top ten investment banks between 2007 and 2017.
Forese's comments were echoed by other banking leaders interviewed by the FT. "There are so many functions today that technology has already replaced and I don't see why that journey should end any time soon," said Richard Gnodde, head of Goldman Sachs International.
And Barclays injvestment bank chief Tim Thorsby added that anyone whose job involves "a lot of keyboard-hitting" is "less likely to have a happy future".

Wars Update: Perspective
January 1, 2011: Worldwide violence continues to decline, but most people are unaware of this because the mass media will feature whatever wars and disorder they can find. This is an old journalistic technique, and it's good for business. But not so helpful if you are trying to keep track of what's really happening out there. Oddly enough, the most bloody conflicts (like Congo) get the least media coverage. Reporting tends to be distorted by how accessible wars are, as well as how easily your viewers could identify with the combatants. The media also has a hard time keeping score. For years, Iraq was portrayed as a disaster until, suddenly, the enemy was crushed and the war was won. Even that was not considered exciting enough to warrant much attention, and that story is still poorly covered. Same pattern is playing out in Afghanistan, where the defeats of the Taliban, and triumph of the drug gangs, go unreported or distorted. If you step back and take a look at all the wars going on, a more accurate picture emerges.

NYC Restaurant Week® Basics
NYC Restaurant Week is the highly anticipated—and often imitated—twice-yearly celebration of dining throughout New York City. With prix-fixe meals at over 360 of the City's finest restaurants (two-course lunch, $26; three-course dinner, $42), the program invites diners to sample the incredible array of eateries that make up NYC's culinary culture.
NYC Restaurant Week Winter 2020 runs from January 21 through February 9. To book your table, visit the official NYC Restaurant Week page, the only place to find a comprehensive list of NYC Restaurant Week menus. Browse by neighborhood, cuisine, meal (lunch or dinner), or search for your favorite restaurant. Make your reservations starting January 8.
Tips for NYC Restaurant Week
Here's the inside scoop on the best ways to enjoy the program's gourmet goodness:
1. Score a top table
Having trouble getting a table at one of the City's popular restaurants? Try booking for lunch: many sought-after eateries participate in the program only for the midday meal. Alternatively, make a reservation for Sunday night, when there's usually more availability—and when many restaurants still serve their NYC Restaurant Week menus. (Check in advance.)
2. Check your calendar
Come back for seconds (and thirds and fourths and…you get the idea). Many diners reserve tables only during the first five days of the program, but NYC Restaurant Week actually runs for three weeks—leaving many opportunities to recover from your food coma and book again.
3. Know before you go
See what's on offer in advance at nycgo.com/restaurantweek—the only website to feature a comprehensive list of NYC Restaurant Week menus. That way you can find out if your favorite dishes are available—or whet your appetite for something new.
4. Explore new cuisines
Speaking of trying something new, every NYC Restaurant Week is a chance to expand your palate with a novel cuisine. The participating restaurants serve up excellent dishes from around the globe—a delicious way to experience the City's famous diversity.
5. Drink it all in
Thirsty? Some restaurants pair beverages—wine, specialty cocktails and the like—with their meals, typically for around $15–$25 extra. It's one more way to make an evening memorable (or afternoon, sure; who are we to judge?).
6. Let Instagram be your guide
Check #nycrestaurantweek on Instagram to see what dishes and restaurants are trending. Pro tip: Search the geotags of participating restaurants to see what looks delicious before you book. When you dine, post your own photos and tag them with #nycrestaurantweek!
A Taste of History
NYC Restaurant Week is the City's original culinary celebration—and the world's first-ever Restaurant Week. The program debuted in 1992, when it was developed as a one-time culinary event to welcome the Democratic National Convention (DNC) to the City. Though it was created to appeal to delegates and other DNC attendees, the program—with 95 participating restaurants—also found a strong following among residents excited to dine at some of the City's top restaurants.
Over the past 27 years, NYC Restaurant Week has grown tremendously, yet has remained committed to giving visitors and residents the opportunity to experience the quality, variety and hospitality that embody the NYC dining experience.

Did Dwight from The Office have Autism ?1 respuestaComedyhace 3 meses
Does anyone else think the characters on The Office are a little autistic?
I don't say this to be rude as someone who has the condition. Here are my suspects and possibly more. Dwight, Michael, Erin, Andy, Meredith, Creed, Jim, Kelley, Kevin, Holly and Ryan. There could possibly be more but these are the most likely and maybe Toby. They all show traits of autism. Such as socially awkward, no self awareness, and many other behaviors that are traits of autism. Kevin obviously is one with more mental challenges but is still able to do his job and is sort of underestimated but does definitely have some challenges. Andy is socially awkward, meltdowns, impulsive behavior, and sometimes lacks self awareness. Michal has outbursts, shut downs, impulsive behavior, socially awkward, no self awareness, and a inability to read others. Dwight also very impulsive, lacks self awareness, delusions, among many other things. I put Jim on this list Jim has high functioning autism he seems like the guy who you would never guess he had it but I can just kind of tell. Holly is a bit less the Michael but she definitely has many of the same behaviors. Erin seems to have many symptoms too. Kelly is very impulsive, lacks self control, has meltdowns, and has limited self awareness. Creed is also you can tell has many autistic symptoms. It really explains a lot because Micheal hires people who are more in tune with him who he can relate too as well as more normal people are either old and stuck there or leave the job quickly.

1972 Triumph Tiger 650
For your perusal, a Triumph Tiger that would make either a great frame-up restoration, or the beginnings of a great cafe racer project. It is relatively clean with (claimed) numbers matching.
Since this is mostly a stock bike (that exhaust looks very JCW), there isn't a lot to say about what has been done to it. Cosmetically, it is a clean starting point for anything that might be done to it. I look at it as kind of a blank slate; what you do with it is up to you…

At the low end of the spectrum are branched chain amino acids – only 1% of their content is utilized by the body with 99% resulting in waste. Whey and soy proteins – only 18% or less of their content is utilized by the body. Food like beef, fish and poultry fare a bit better with 32% being absorbed. Eggs are the winners in the regular food stakes with 48% being utilized. Now compare those numbers to PerfectAmino – a massive 99% is put to work by the body.
Almost everyone is protein deficient without realizing it – it plays out as a nagging injury that won't heal in the athlete, brittle bones in the menopausal women or constant colds in the child. Protein deficiency is very often something you are aware of, but you just can't identify and neither does your doctor. Not getting enough protein may mean lowered hormones, lowered immune system, or risk of disease or cancer. This is the foundation of BodyHealth, to supply a perfect source of perfect aminos to make the perfect protein for your body.

Protein is incredibly important when it comes to losing weight.You need to take in fewer calories than you burn to lose weight.It's well supported that eating protein can increase the number of calories you burn by boosting your metabolic rate (calories out) and reducing your appetite (calories in).A high protein intake also helps you build and preserve muscle mass, which burns a small number of calories around the clock.

French is a difficult language to master. The name for instance of a size of a sink or a type of fish may have numerous expressions which are seemingly unrelated. Blogger David Lebowtiz uncovered during his kitchen renovation that the description of sink in English translated to at least 5 different words in French. Cod fish for instance in French is cabillaud, whereas salt cod is morue. Why not "cabillaud sel"? "Ou sel cabillaud? As such, you can never assume that adding an adjective to the noun will translate properly.
Salt cod or "brandade morue" is a dried product, which needs to be rehydrated in water and desalinated. However rather than use traditional morue in this lesson we used fresh filet of cabillaud and applied a cure of salt for about 20 minutes. Ergo the "new style" label. Once cured it was skinned and the heart of the fish filet was removed, which is the nicest piece, and sliced into portions with the remaining trimmings poached in cream and few spices. I say few because there is not really a ton of flavor imparted.
The poached cod is blended with mashed potatoes, chives and garlic cream. This mixture was then piped into a baked brick pastry shell. I decided to make a cone shaped shell and enlisted Chef Cotte to help me construct it. Luckily he is a master pastry chef so it was little challenge for him. Once the cone was constructed I was to place the opening end on the baking sheet with the point up. My oven grill was not set up properly so I made a different choice and laid it on it's side – for which he lambasted me (okay that's a bit tough but a fun word so let's use it). My idea worked anyway, as you see in the photo, the cone did not collapse but sometimes you need to follow your own path.
We also made a little fritter of the cod mash mix with whipped egg whites and baking soda, which made for cod brandade 3 ways. The fritter was a light in texture with the addition of egg whites and gives me pause to think whether this could translate to another type of fritter as this one is absolutely gluten free. Not so many fritters have that claim to fame!
The most interesting garnish on this dish for me was the red pimento coulis. The coulis is made from piquillo peppers which I absolutely adore. If you've never tried these peppers, you simply must. They are one of the few items that I buy that only come in a can.
Prior to canning they have been roasted, their skin stripped, and the internal white veins and seeds have been removed. The taste is sweet, as would be a red bell pepper, but they have more smoky depth of flavor which must be from the grilling.
The peppers are warmed with a little chicken stock and then simply pureed. You hardly need any seasoning! This coulis would be amazing with grilled chicken or tuna steaks.
What does New Style have over Old Style Code Brandade? Only thing I can think of is Piquillo Pepper Coulis!

Another day, another apartment-complex fire for area authorities to fight:
RELATED: A fight may have sparked a fire spreading to multiple rooms in a Houston motel
Early Sunday morning, police reportedly responded to a destructive 2-alarm fire at an apartment complex on Ella Boulevard in north Harris County.
Dispatchers said they sent several units to the scene around 5:30 a.m.

Hannover Messe 2019 is happening at a time of extreme change in the industrial landscape. The pressures of an uncertain economic background alongside increasing global competition, customization, smaller batch runs, shrinking labor pool and energy resources mean that manufacturers are increasingly looking to technology to ensure they can remain competitive in the future.
The digitization of any company's operation is fraught with many risks. Chief amongst those are choosing and sequencing the right technology projects, the effective selection of partners, grounding projects in real world key performance indicators (KPIs), and driving organizational alignment.
This webinar from ABI Research will explore these issues and help attendees understand what are the most compelling technological developments that are expected to be seen at Hannover Messe and how they should maximize their potential.
Our webinar will also cover these questions:

How you make excuses in order to maintain your beliefs
Without realizing it, you sometimes apply a double standard to the things you love, believe, and consider crucial to your identity.
If you do this while arguing, it is sometimes called special pleading. You search for exemptions and excuses for why a rule or a description or a definition does not apply to something that you hold dear while still applying those standards to everything else.
You also use special pleading to explain away how something extraordinary failed to stand up to scrutiny, or why there is a lack of evidence for a difficult-to-believe claim that you personally think is credible.
One of the tools used by special pleaders is called moving the goalposts. Whenever your opponent eliminates one of your claims, you alter your claim just a smidge so that it remains right outside your opponent's rhetorical grasp. When they do it again, you move your claim a bit more.
In this episode, listen as three experts in logic and reasoning dive deep into the odd thinking behind the special pleading fallacy and how you move the goalposts to keep from seeming incorrect.

Muhammad Ali, RIP
Muhammad Ali, three-time world heavyweight boxing champion and cultural icon, died today at 74. He was the greatest. From the New York Times:
Ali was the most thrilling if not the best heavyweight ever, carrying into the ring a physically lyrical, unorthodox boxing style that fused speed, agility and power more seamlessly than that of any fighter before him.
But he was more than the sum of his athletic gifts. An agile mind, a buoyant personality, a brash self-confidence and an evolving set of personal convictions fostered a magnetism that the ring alone could not contain. He entertained as much with his mouth as with his fists, narrating his life with a patter of inventive doggerel. ("Me! Wheeeeee!")
Ali was as polarizing a superstar as the sports world has ever produced — both admired and vilified in the 1960s and '70s for his religious, political and social stances. His refusal to be drafted during the Vietnam War, his rejection of racial integration at the height of the civil rights movement, his conversion from Christianity to Islam and the changing of his "slave" name, Cassius Clay, to one bestowed by the separatist black sect he joined, the Lost-Found Nation of Islam, were perceived as serious threats by the conservative establishment and noble acts of defiance by the liberal opposition.

Relationships are incredibly personal things that shape people's lives and characters in ways many of us don't even realise. That's why there are a lot of people out there who avoid getting into them; they are well aware that hurt at the end of relationships has the ability to overpower all of the good that happened during the relationship. And they are smart enough to realise that such hurt can change them in ways beyond their control.
That is why emotionally immature people should not be involved in romantic relationships. Those who are emotionally immature cannot offer themselves truly and completely to another, which is what a relationship is supposed to be like. If you're emotionally immature, then you often can't meet the needs and wishes of a partner and, this hurts – especially if your partner is more emotionally mature than you are.
Boy and Girls are Different
In fact, this is the case all too often in relationships, particularly among young people. In many of my friends' relationships, they want or expect more from their partners than they get. And this is because they are on completely different wavelengths and are in totally separate timezones. It's unfortunate, but it is the way things are. In my own dealings with the opposite sex, the same thing has happened twice, and it's made me conclude that emotionally immature people should steer well clear of romantic relations, even if you're not officially boyfriend and girlfriend (or any alternative combination).
I have to say also that there is a particular problem with boys when it comes to being emotionally immature in heterosexual relationships. It is a well-known, scientific fact that girls mature faster than boys. Girls' brains can begin to develop at 10, while some male brains do not mature until they are 20-years-old. This stark contrast in maturity and emotional development, then, shows why a lot of girls and young women end up disappointed and dissatisfied in their relationships. They are on different wavelengths compared to their partners.
The Importance of Identity
It is only cruel for emotionally immature individuals to get involved romantically. They are well aware they either can't step up to what's required of them, or well aware that they don't want to provide what's necessary to make things work. Regardless, it's selfish. To take and take and take from someone without being able to give them something truly meaningful in return is selfish, and that's how disappointment strikes in so many young relationships. Not to mention the fact that being attached at the hip to somebody when you're both emotionally immature means you never truly form your own identity.
Forming your own identity is crucial in life. Without it, you can never be truly self-sufficient, and you will always be looking outside of yourself for reassurance, instead of inside of yourself. Being in a relationship when you're emotionally immature is just not healthy at that stage, and it shouldn't be a thing. Pessimistic though this may be, it's true.
Being single rather than with someone who is emotionally all over the place is a better option. Having time to become your own person, rather than being in an intense relationship when you're both too young, is also much better. There will be fewer tears in the end that way.

Say cheese!
Entry posted by Capulet ·
409 views
For the last two or three years, I've gotten the holiday cards with a blank framed slot in the front for the 4x6 photo insert to go into; that's usually the time of year when I have to literally threaten the removal of any and all electronic devices from my kids' possessions until they agree to take a photograph that I can have 20+ copies made of.
They'll protest, still...even if I threaten to change the wi-fi password until they comply. And I'd probably change it to something SO silly, something like, "cheese," JUST to annoy them even more once photos had been successfully obtained and I've freed them. Once the holiday decorations have been put out, (and today, we've finally finished decorating the house, inside and outside!) I'll whip out the camera and tell them to get in front of the tree, it's 'holiday card picture time.'
"But Mahhhhh.....we're getting too old for this..." The moaning and groaning starts. From both of them, even though they SHOULD know better, by now. It happens EVERY. SINGLE. YEAR. The son will attempt to retreat into his room after I'll have warned him earlier in the day that a photo shoot was planned for the evening. Daughter will say she's having a bad hair day. Or she'll say she has a rash on her teeth. Anything but pictures!
"No, you're not too old!" I'm doing all sorts of head acrobatics as I'm nudging the both of them into the direction I want them. "Move to the left. No, not you...your sister. Now, bring your heads closer together. Now, smile....(snap...snap...) Would you STOP giving me that look?"
Let me add that the daughter thinks that smirking is smiling. To a sixth grader, maybe. But for a Christmas picture, it's just not appropriate. We're sending these cards to people we actually like.
"Listen," I finally said to both of them after many failed attempts at good photos, due to closed eyes, smirks, deadpan looks..."If you two don't want to take a picture, then fine...just know that I am not opposed to finding the nearest JC Penney's portrait studio. I'm still a member of the portrait club and being a member, I get free sittings. If it means I have to drive forty miles away to get a free sitting, you bet your asses, I will do that. And you'll have to be dressed in your Sunday best clothing, your hair will have to actually be combed, you'll (I point to the son) have to shave that mess you call a the beginnings of a beard, find a button-down shirt and tie...and YOU (I point to daughter) will have to actually detangle your mop of hair, which requires a heavy brushing by yours, truly (I point to me now, with a big smile on my face). Then of course, you'll have to get a nice pair of pantyhose...the nicer the pair of tights, the more itchy it is...or maybe you can wear the ugly Christmas sweater you got last year from Aunt So-and-so in Kissimmee. (We don't have one of those, but you get the idea) Then, once we get to JC Penney's, you two can drive the photographer crazy, and I'll make sure she takes out every single stuffed animal prop she owns and I'll tell her that it's the only way to get you both to smile properly. Either way, if I have to go through all of that to get a decent picture of both of you ungrateful brats, then so help me, lord, I will. Or you can smile right now, cooperate, say 'cheese,' and this can be over in five minutes."
The two of them exchange a look. They look at me again, mouths hanging. I stand there with my camera in one hand, the other hand on my hip. My eyes are saying that I'm dead serious.
"So, you want us in front of the tree, yeah?" The son was always the smarter one. He's now nudging his sister, who's nodding frantically. I must say, the thought of having to sit through a hair-brushing was what did it. Her hair is very much like Hagrid's from Harry Potter. Just PICTURE trying to run a brush through that. It's certainly not worth all the smirking she had been doing!
"Correct." Camera's at the ready, I'm delighting at their change of heart.
"And...oh, we'll pretend we're giving each other a gift?" He bends and pulls a box out from under the tree, then smiles as he hands a gift to his sister, who, in turn, smiles nicely. "Like this?"
(snap, snap)
Mission, accomplished.
I didn't really want to have to go to JC Penney's, but it's good to know that threat still works.

When you look for the origins of heavy metal music, you'll always find Led Zeppelin as part of the conversation. For all the sweet acoustic ballads and experimentation the band did over the years, the constant on every album was music that got heavy and very loud.
Just ask Geezer Butler, the bass player of metal pioneer Black Sabbath. "Zeppelin paved the way for us," Butler said. "They were the heaviest thing, up until we came along. They very much started the genre."
On Zeppelin's first album, you got several different types of heavy. On "Dazed and Confused," it was the ominous type that became so popular later. Then there was "Communication Breakdown," which looked ahead to both metal and punk thrashing.
Led Zeppelin II got even heavier, and the band never shied away from the thunder on subsequent albums. But with Presence, the record that featured almost none of the keyboards and acoustic stylings of the other albums, Zeppelin had its most metal moment.
'Presence' contained the metal assault of 'Achilles Last Stand' and 'Nobody's Fault But Mine.'
You don't find tunes like "That's the Way" or even "Babe, I'm Gonna Leave You" on Presence. In fact, you don't find John Paul Jones on keyboard at all. Jimmy Page, who wrote the majority of the album's material with Robert Plant, mostly kept his acoustic guitars in their cases, too.
By this point in the band's life (late 1975), Led Zeppelin had already delivered masterpieces like "Stairway to Heaven" and "Kashmir." They'd also closed the book on heavy blues interpretations with "In My time of Dying."
With "Achilles Last Stand," you got what the title promised: a seasoned warrior not leaving the battlefield before thrashing almost everyone in sight. It was a full metal attack.
Between Jones's heavy bass, Page's crushing riff, and the thunder of John Bonham's drums, there was no mistaking "Achilles" for anything short of metal. Plant's vocals are the only thing you could describe as subdued here, and by the end he too gets loud.
Then there was the unbridled assault of "Nobody's Fault But Mine." On this tune, Plant joins the party in style with full-throated wailing and a sinister harmonica part. Bonham's vicious drumming on these tunes heavily influenced drummers like Metallica's Lars Ulrich (see: "One").
The first record from 'Physical Graffiti' is also among Zeppelin's heaviest offerings.
Led Zeppelin didn't go all-metal for a reason: They considered their music far bigger than that. They never wanted to thought of as one-dimensional. You get a good look at the band's philosophy on Physical Graffiti, the group's only double album.
Five of the six tracks go straight at the listener, with Page and Bonham going in for the kill on every song. The exception is "Houses of the Holy," which obviously came from sessions for the previous album. Had you replaced that "The Wanton Song," it would be as heavy as Zep ever got.
Of course, the second disc from Physical Graffiti dulled the blow considerably with its acoustic tunes and "Boogie With Stu." That was the point. And even with monster rockers like "Custard Pie," the funkiness of Bonham's drumming stands out.
Put it this way: Led Zeppelin went metal on several occasions (especially on Presence), and metal never got that good again.

To the East, the Mediterranean warms Spanish shores from the Pyrenees to Gibraltar. For thousands of years, this inland sea has been a source of food and wealth, a place of danger and a highway for the circulation of goods, peoples and information (Braudel 1966; Roque 1989; Horden and Purcell 2000; King 2001; Abulafia 2004; Tabak 2008). Peoples along its sunny, dry, but productive coasts have developed agriculture and industry through cosmopolitan connections with Phoenicians, Greeks, Romans, Arabs and wider worlds.
An unsuccessful Winter Olympics bid for Jaca and the world's fair in its capital, ExpoZaragoza 2008, focused on water and sustainability, highlight Aragon's claims to global recognition. Along the Atlantic coast, the Basques are concentrated in a tiny autonomous community in and across the Pyrenees. Euzkadi or País Vasco/Comunidad Autonoma Vasca (Basque Country) occupies 7,324 square kilometers (2,828 sq. ) of green land with a population slightly over two million. Like Catalonia, Euzkadi constitutes a strong, "model" nationality against which other autonomous communities have defined themselves.

The Rally Fighter was unveiled at the Las Vegas SEMA Show in in the "Making Green Cool Zone". The Off-Road Racer is aggressive, sleek and inspired by old War Birds, and has the heritage of legacy with fresh appeal.
The story of this vehicle is in its revolutionary yet simple development process – it was designed and developed by a community of car enthusiasts.
Now home to over 4,000 car designers, engineers and enthusiasts, the Local Motors community is the only to bring a new car to market.
The Rally Fighter offers an authentic off-of-road experience, and is custom designed and built for the deserts of the American Southwest.
It was designed by community member Sangho Kim while many Local Motors' members participated in the open development process.
Together with the company they helped collaborate on body design details, side vent creation, interior and even accessory design.
The Rally Fighter is powered by a BMW 3.0 liter twin-turbo clean diesel delivering 265 hp and 425 pound-feet (576 Nm) of torque at only 1750rpm that are transferred to the rear wheels through a 6-speed automatic transmission.
The Rally Fighter is lightweight at only 3,200 pounds (1,450 kg) which allows for great performance and efficiency.
The car is debuting in SEMA sponsored "Making Green Cool Zone". At 30-36mpg (12.8-15.3 km/l) , the Rally Fighter is competing for most efficient in its desert off-road class.
In addition, Local Motors utilizes a sustainable build methodology and builds cars "Just-In-Time". This process creates little or no waste, and allows customers to actually participate in the build process of their own Rally Fighter.
Local Motors builds cars with customers in regional Micro-Factories which double as service stations. The first Micro-Factory is in Wareham, Massachusetts, and the second will be built in Phoenix, Arizona in 2010. Local Motors plans for 50 Micro-Factories around the country.
This enthusiast experience continues as Local Motors allows customers to host "Custom Car Skins" Competitions on local-motors.com.
Local Motors designers compete to create custom graphics to for Rally Fighter owners based on desired specifications- every outcome is unique.
The graphics are applied with vinyl, not paint, which is lightweight, customizable, and recyclable.
Rally Fighters are now available for reservation at www.local-motors.com/rf.
Early builds will begin this Summer, 6/8/10.
At this years Business Innovation Factory, Local Motors CEO, John Rogers gives insight into his company and how to fix the American automobile industry.

Four-time MotoGP World Champion Marc Marquez has admitted he doesn't have many friends within the Yamaha MotoGP team. While being interviewed on Italian television, the Repsol Honda rider suggested that it's not just Valentino Rossi who's not a fan – but also Yamaha's Race Boss, Lin Jarvis.
With his fifth MotoGP World Championship on the way and his understanding of the Repsol Honda better than ever – it's unlikely that Marquez is any rush to transfer to another team. But according to an interview on Italian television, he reckons his options are fairly limited after he was vetoed by Yamaha back in 2016. In the interview on Sky Italy during the British GP at Silverstone, Marquez said: "Lin Jarvis has said that he is not going to see a Marquez on Yamaha and he had already told me personally in 2016. I respect and accept him."
Of course, it's not just Jarvis – Marquez's relationship Yamaha's main man Valentino Rossi has been continuously fraught since the Spaniard first proved himself on the world scale. And considering Rossi's future commitment to Yamaha, including his VR46 Moto2 and Moto3 teams, it seems fairly obvious why Marquez is convinced he's not likely to get an offer from Yamaha anytime soon.

Happy 8th of July!
I hope everyone enjoyed their lonnnggg weekend; here in Detroit it was a consistent 90+ degrees outside so my weekend was HOT to say the least.
For the first time ever, I have an actual backyard where I can grill all summer long.
I had my first teeny tiny BBQ on the 4th of July where I made burgers & hot dogs (Typical holiday fare).
But I was super excited for the drink situation! At first I was thinking about making frozen margaritas, but there's something so backyard BBQ-Party appropriate about Sangria to me.
And since parties can be a little hectic, I am here to give you the perfect party cocktail in with three easy ingredients!
Check out how I made it here:
1.5 L of Moscato Sangria
1 cup of Peach Brandy
36 ounces of frozen peaches, strawberries and mangoes (I used a Target brand mix!)
In a chilled pitcher, combine all of the ingredients then let it rest for about 10 minutes before serving.
That's it!
Easiest recipe ever!

I have a Theory.
For me I believe when we are born the brain runs a programme in each of us that makes us learn to walk, communicate, and socialise etc. What if something we consume blocks that process? Remove what is causing the block too late and the brain has formed too far the wrong way. Remove it early enough and the brain will revert back to the original programme and develop the correct way.
There is no consistent study that shows all autism is caused by something in our DNA.
Parents with no family history of autism have children with autism.
Children with autism often have bad guts. Why is it not more logical that something we consume causes the bad gut and therefore impacts on that programme of development rather than the less logical explanation that something in the brain is causing something to occur in the gut.
Just wanted to introduce the idea and see what people think.
The scientists want to find a way to prove their theory so they explain the lack of history by telling us we did not simply realize people in our family had it. There is no doubt there is an explanaiton…
So stop comparing yourself to nt's. It's like a rabbit comparing itself to a lion, it will always feel inferior if it does that. You're not lacking in anything, who wants to fit into the crazy nt lifestyle…
Please. This is not about whether Autistic people are good or bad or right or wrong. I need help because I believe that I understand what is going on so let me begin to explain.
The brain runs an automatic…
The brain runs an automatic programme that shapes the phyiscial wiring of the brain. This happens in all babies.
The problem is that in Autistic Children actually their programme is interrupted by both *** and Dairy Milk.
The reason that the results of diet change are inconclusive is becuase of timing. The key here is, that it is not changing the diet that will fix things but rather when you change the diet. It is all about timing.
So if you change the diet after the brain is physcially wired for example in a 4 year old then it will not make a difference in the outcome apart from the symptoms associated with the gut will be corrected i.e wind, constipation etc.
If you change the diet early then you allow the programme of brain development to resume and then you can limit the affects of autistic behaviours because the brain will begin to develop normally.
People think early intervention i.e speech therapy and aba is at play but often people make dietary changes too ie they provide gluten and dairy free diets to their young ones.
Studies are inconclusive because people are making diet changes at different ages and often too late. The studies focus on observing a diet change in autistic chidren of different ages.
To prove my theory you have to make the changes to the diet of toddlers exhibiting symptoms no later than 15 months of age. Then you will see marked improvements in their joint attention skills, eye contact and general engagement. You will see a transition of interest away from objects to people.
I can prove my theroy if toddlers present typcial red flags i.e lack of eye contact, flapping and parents are willing to make the diet change no later than 15 months. I believe in this case that all children will improve and not remain on the autistic spectrum at all.
The toddlers would all have to be given the same diet and all at the same age. As the toddlers will no longer be having milk they would need to be provided with a balanced diet and vitamins.
What evidence do you have that leads you to the conclusion that dietary changes would have the effect you describe?
What is it about children's diets, what foods and what is it the foods contain, that you see as causing the child to remain (or develop further down the path?) of autism?
If I've understood the above correctly, what was it that made the child START down the path of autism? Was that, the starting point, a predisposition to Autism (as in a genetic or gestational cause)?
Finally, what is the alternative diet that you are proposing?
P.S. I do not know what you mean by *** and Dairy Milk. Please explain.
Ok. In a nutshell my son appeared normal in that he exhbited no symptoms apart from gut issues. He then developed but very slowly and then appeared to regress. We saw specialists, he had a hearing test to check his hearing and he had speech therapy but things were getting worse not better and this made no sense. We were losing him. He would ignore us and walk past us like we did not exist. He also exhibited the traditional autistic behaviours like tip toeing, flapping and anger tantrums. My wife was very upset and I felt helpless. I researched and decided to change his diet at the age of 14 months not expecting much to happen and he transformed. The changes were observed by the speech therapists and are documented. We are talking about dramatic changes. He began to make sounds. He began to look at people instead of looking at objects. Instead of sitting alone he began to sit with people. He looked at people instead of through them. He responded to his name. It was like he awoke from a coma. That is how dramatic the changes were. The flapping went, tip toeing etc. People do not believe the level of transformation that took place. It was impossible. This happened over a period of just 5 weeks.
1. All foods containing Gluten and Dairy were removed. As a subistitue we used organic coconut milk for night feeds.
2. We gave him a multi vitamin for children and fish oils at breakfast time.
3. No pre prepared foods.
Diet as follows
Organic Oats with Coconut milk at breakfast
Blueberries, Banana
Fish, Potatoes, Quinoa, Chicken at meal times
Total of 4 meals plus cocount milk for night feeds.
You see I believe that it is something that is present in both the milk of the mother and dairy that causes the blocking of the brain development. Looking at the make up of both if I had to point the finger at something I would say Casein but I cannot say for certain but I believe it is milk based on my experience. I do not think it is anything to do with Gluten because in my opinion the symptoms of Autism can be seen in very young babies when only milk is present in the diet. I do not think it is vaccinaiton based for the same reason.
You see the reason there is no patterns in the research being conducted is because researchers are lost. They are looking in the wrong places because their defintion of autism is wrong. Autism is a disturbed delveopmental programme caused directly by something we consume but that does not effect all people becuase of genetics. It is not genetics that makes you Autistic.
You see I believe you could have an allergy to Milk but you will not be Autistic.
It is only Autistic people that react specifically to Milk in this way. It interferes with that crucial development of the brain early on.
Now it is important to understand that changing the diet after this critcal age once the brain is formed will not have the reversal effect. You have to do it early on but the child must have a balanced diet to compensate for the lack of nutrients they will not get from Milk.
This does sound interesting, I hadn't seriously considered any causes other than purely genetic because that appears to be where mainstream ASD research is heading.
So something (a genetic predisposition or something [generally thought to be high levels of testosterone] the fetus is exposed to) causes ASD but it isn't 'activated' until exposure to, possibly, casein?
Before being able to properly discuss this I'd need to do some research of my own to understand exactly what effects / constituents milk has. Have you attempted to present your thoughts about this to someone more qualified in food science / chemistry?
I'd also need to know more about studies taking account of environmental factors, as I'm sure there must be some, and which specific aspects of diet have previously been considered as contributing to ASD - if indeed any have. Have you accessed any such studies?
How long did you stick to the diet you listed for your son? Did it consist of anything else? What age is he now and does he now consume milk and / or dairy products? Am I correct in assuming that he now shows no signs of ASD whatsoever?
Sorry if these questions are too personal, you do not have to answer them of course but it would be of use in assessing the effectiveness of such a diet change if I knew the answers. Of course, I am neither a food scientist nor a chemist but I am interested and would like to look into this in more depth. (It would of course be more useful to you if you were able to contact a professional but it's an interesting theory and one I'd like to find out more about.)
While I can agree with Former Memberand @Evan, in that personally I too feel fine nowadays with how I am, I also feel sympathy with those trying to cope with some of the more difficult aspects of lower-spectrum diagnoses. To that end, and as a parent myself, I can understand the want / need that's out there to seek a 'cure' or at least limiting of some of the more severe effects of ASD. Research at the moment does seem to be primarily focused upon coping with or limiting the effects of lower-functioning ASD.
As for why I personally am interested in looking into possible causes, it's purely because it's interesting. Why not? I've looked into the effects upon the human body of space travel but I'm not planning on travelling into space at any time! I'm not seeking a 'cure' for being me either.
It seems there have been some studies done into diet and various other environmental causes of ASD, none conclusive as yet.
(2014) - Impact of Maternal Diet on Human Milk Composition and Neurological Development of Infants - https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/24500153/ re. fatty acids implicated in infant neurological development (DHA, AA, Linoleic Acid) and the link with the levels of Casein in cows milk as compared to human milk (twice the level in cows milk).
also https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC4882692 re. Glutamine and it's role in providing Ketoglutaric Acid which appears to have a dual role as both a neurotransmitter and is involved in the development of intestinal cells. I thought this was interesting because it shows a dual link to the brain and the gut, from this one amino acid alone (so how many others may be implicated dual-ly like this?), and relates to the link between ASD and gut problems which i've seen mentioned many times around here!
(2010) - dryhman.com/blog/2010/12/09/breakthrough-discovery-on-the-causes-of-autism/ which discusses a similar case to that of your son but the child involved was 6-years old at the time of the diet changes and he apparently now shown no signs of ASD.

Former UNO Music student Darren Hoffman and partner Kristen McEntyre have been named one of the 2014 top "People to Watch" by New Orleans Magazine. While at UNO, Darren began developing an interactive music learning software, the Tutti Music Player, that allows students to interact with top musicians and customize the learning process. Darren filmed much of the initial core program in the UNO Music Department's Studio 103 with musicians including Shannon Powell, Roland Guerin, Lucien Barbarin, Jason Marsalis, Ed Petersen, and Steve Masakowski. He later added Jason's older brother Wynton to the mix and worked closely with Jazz at Lincoln Center to refine the educational software and support its use in JALC educational programs. Todd Stoll, vice president of education for Jazz at Lincoln Center, told the Times-Picayune that the Tutti program is "basically one of the most transformational uses of technology I've ever seen."

The instruction of the missionaries did not stop at giving people academic knowledge about the catechism and who Jesus was, but Eugene insisted that they were to teach them that Jesus was their Saviour and aimed at inviting them to conversion:
It is not enough to assemble a lot of people in the church, one must instruct them, one must move them in a manner that they will be converted.
Letter to Jean-Baptiste Honorat, 27 January 1824 in O.W. VI, n. 127
In 1818 Eugene had written these words in his first Rule:
Preaching, indeed, has no other end than to lead sinners to the pool of salvation.
1818 Rule Part 1, Chapter 2, §2
Thirty years later he is found still hammering home the same foundational truth:
Insist on making Jesus Christ known and loved. Speak often of this Divine Saviour and of all he has done to save mankind. Make them resolve never to spend a day without praying.
Letter to Jean Viala, 17 January 1849, O.W. IV n. 4

robvulcan posted a topic in Ready for Inspection - AircraftHi all here are a few fun photos I've taken of some of my builds grouped together with the appearance of one smaller pre build item for photography sake. Ive started to appreciate more diorama modelling and forced perspective photography. all these photos are on my coffee table in an area less that 1 ft square. B2 Bluesteel opens the taps in the background. left to right Vulcan B2 and 2 B1 aircraft. XA912 taxis. And turns in to the end of the run way. Then waits for clearence. B2 Xl321 lands and taxis off the runway. B2 XH533 trials aircraft taxis for takes off. Followed by B2 XH535 with the new larger ECM cone on display. Later on a B1 and B2 wait on a dispersal pad on the far side of the airfield. Two B1 Vulcans await their next flight. A valiant tanker lands and taxies these are getting to be a rare sight now. (Diecast shhh) This one is just a bonus a ficticious what if. Cosfords B1 XA900 waits to take off as XH558 rolls by having just done it's display in an alternate timeline around 1999. Haha if only. And finally .. scramble ! cheers Rob

I've noticed that it's possible to create multiple folders with the same name in a folder using
{ "name":"Deutsch", "description":"Deutsch", "parentId":"<someParentId>" }
When I use https://mapp.hexagongeospatial.com/api/v1/search.json I get multiple results with different id's but the same name.
When I use the M.App Chest webinterface however there's only 1 instance visible, so I cannot manage these folders except through scripting.

Hi Arjen,
When I create a folder in M.App Chest it actually uses different endpoint: https://mapp.hexagongeospatial.com/api/v1/folders
POST body:
{ "name": "FolderName", "title": "FolderName",
"description": "Item Description", "parent": { "id":"e18b0308-47c3-42ef-a9a9-fabf56ceda19_2c9180815308d44e01530e7a7b090189" } }
Please try with above.
oh, this is unexpted :-) Now I can create a folder, put an image in it, retrieve the image. All successfully. Except neither the folder nor the image are visible in M.App Chest???
ah yes, apparently the title isn't stored somehow, so now I've got items in my chest without a title that won't display
Hello Arjen. It sounds like Jan has already provided you with the necessary information, but I'm not sure if you're still having problems. I apologize for the documentation pointing you to /api/v1/datasetopts/folder, that is an older API that should no longer be used. I'll file an appropriate bug report to remove it, both from the software and from the documentation, and add the new API to the documentation.
As you've probably noticed, the catalog items have both name and title attributes. We use title exclusively in M.App Chest, what you see as the name/title of an item is the title attribute, and that is what you can edit in the Properties panel. I'm not sure what would happen with items that have no title, but I can try out that workflow and look into it if you're still having problems. The items will need a title for them to display properly in M.App Chest though.
Let us know if you're still having problems.
Hi Jan,
I notice that the return code of the POST folders/ is a JSON string that still needs to be parsed. That is not consistent behaviour with the other API calls
