Transparency Market Research Report Added "Hemostasis Products Market - Global Industry Analysis, Size, Share, Growth, Trends and Forecast 2016 - 2024"
Albany, NY -- (SBWIRE) -- 04/03/2017 -- The top four vendors operating in the global hemostasis products market, including Ethicon, Pfizer Inc., Baxter International, Inc., and CR Bard, Inc., accounted for a share of nearly 41% in the market in 2015, states Transparency Market Research in a recent report. In the seemingly fragmented market, where small- and medium-scale vendors accounted for over 59% in the overall market in the 2015, a large number of these players provided non-commercial variations of several hemostasis products, including platelet concentrate and frozen plasma. Therefore, in the case of purely commercially available products, the share held by prominent players is larger than what the regional players hold.
Rising investments in the research and development and strategies to expand businesses across untapped regional markets are some of the key strategies adopted by prominent vendors in the market. Some of the market's other influential companies are HemCon Medical Technologies, Inc., Abbott Laboratories, Grifols, S.A., CSL Behring LLC, Johnson & Johnson, Integra LifeSciences Corporation, and Medtronic plc.
Introduction of Technologically Advanced Products and Rising Number of Trauma and Surgery Cases Stimulate Market's Growth
The market for hemostasis products has substantially benefitted in the past few years owing to the vast research and development activities undertaken in the field of hemostasis technology, enabling the development of highly reliable hemostasis products for use in emergency situations. Extensive research activities in the field have also resulted in the development of a wide number of innovative products, which are being positively received by national and international approval agencies.
Obtain Report Details @
The vast global rise in the numbers of trauma cases and complex surgeries is another key driver of the global hemostasis products market. The WHO states that an estimated 1.25 mn people are killed in road accidents every year globally. Also, excessive bleeding or hemorrhage results in over one-third of pre-hospital deaths every year globally. The vast and alarming rise in the global population of people aged over 65%, a demographic which is vulnerable to chronic diseases and leads to an increased demand for a variety of complex surgeries, is also indirectly stimulating the demand for hemostasis products across healthcare setting.
Stringent Regulatory Scenario and Patent Expiries Boost Adoption of Off-label Products, Hinder Market's Growth
Strict approval policies adhered by the national and international approval agencies have led to an apprehensive competitive environment for hemostasis product manufacturers. The lengthy and cost-intensive approval procedures, along with the diverse dissimilarities in regulatory policies across different countries/regions are also discouraging manufacturers from introducing an increasing number of product varieties in the market. This factor is likely to hamper the development of the global hemostasis products to a certain extent in the next few years.
Patent expiries of some of the most prominent hemostasis product brands in the global market is also a key restraint to the market's overall profitability. Patent expirations in the healthcare industry are invariably followed by the introduction of substitutes and cheaper biosimilars, which in the case of the global hemostasis products market is expected to have a substantial impact on market's future revenue generation prospects.
Nevertheless, the market has a vast set of untapped growth opportunities, especially in emerging economies such as Asia Pacific and Latin America. Demand for effective healthcare facilities from the rising consumer base of middle class population and rising numbers of geriatric people in these regions will lead to the increased adoption of a variety of hemostasis products in the next few years. Transparency Market Research states that the global hemostasis products market will expand at a healthy 4.2% CAGR over the period between 2016 and 2024, and rise to a valuation of US$7.73 bn in 2024. The market was pegged at US$5.35 bn in 2015.
In terms of product variety, the segment of infusible hemostats presently leads, accounting for a 47% share in the market in 2015. Geography-wise, North America led, accounting for over 36% in the global market in 2015.

Important Details
Know before you go
Electricity on the Cayman Islands is 110-volt AC (60 cycles), so adapters or transformers are not required for U.S. appliances. Please turn off your television, lights and Air Conditioning when not in use to help us conserve power!
The water in the Cayman Islands is, for the most part, safe to drink. Two desalination plants on Grand Cayman supply good-quality purified tap water to the entire West End, including Seven Mile Beach. If you can determine that you're drinking desalinated water, then it's safe to drink. Just ask. Sunset House also relies on rainwater collected in cisterns, to water the lawns, plants and fill the pool. The toilets are supplied by the well at Sunset House. Please help us in trying to conserve water!
Etiquette & Customs
You should pay attention to dress code etiquette in the Cayman Islands, as it remains a "proper" British crown colony and its residents are often conservative in dress and manners. Avoid wearing bathing suits or scanty beachwear outside of beach areas and cruise ships. Cover up in public areas, especially on the streets of George Town. Visitors will want to wear smart casual tropical resort wear at most restaurants.
There is no need for visitors to exchange their US dollars into local currency. The US dollar is accepted throughout the islands. Major credit cards (with the exception of the Discover Card) and traveler's checks are widely accepted.
A government tourist tax of 13% is added to your hotel bill. A departure tax of CI$20 is also collected when you leave the Caymans; this tax is included in your plane fare. There is no tax on goods and services.
Drinking Laws
The legal drinking age is 18. Beer, wine, and liquor are sold at most grocery and convenience stores Monday to Saturday. It is legal to have an open container on the beach. Do not carry open containers of alcohol in your car or any public area that isn't zoned for alcohol consumption. The police can fine you on the spot. Don't even think about driving while intoxicated.
Free Sunset House Shuttle
Sunset House has partnered with Island Luxe to offer free shuttle service to George Town (around Bayshore Mall) twice per day in the afternoon. Leaves the hotel daily at 2pm and 4pm. Pick up is at 4:10pm and 6:10pm. Ask for information at the front desk.
Water temperature is around 85 degrees with weather between 83-87 degrees. Sea conditions are light-choppy and visibility is 60-100 ft.

Last we caught up with Brazilian techno producer and DJ ANNA, she was focusing on her musical instrument and electronic hardware collection. The collecting, though, only helps to build her musical acumen more, inspiring her to make music like the latest EP she dropped this week. Entitled Face Your Fears, ANNA continues on her pursuit of bending our perceptions and expectations when something is labeled "techno." While in some cases those unfamiliar with the dance genre's industrial and minimalist sounds, ANNA's music adds an experimental feel to her music that makes it almost welcoming, inviting us into a scene some might not otherwise adventure into. She's certainly made the title of her latest release attainable with her music.

Looking to Monitor Power Take-Off?
A power take-off (PTO) gives you the ability to utilize all or a portion of the truck's engine power to perform various tasks, usually through a switch. Combining this capability with a truck tracking system provides you with important data that helps maximize the efficiency of your trucks.
There are many advantages that come from monitoring power take-off through an advanced truck tracking system, like improving the accuracy of historical data in reports. By ensuring this accuracy, monitoring power take-off will allow you to provide proof of service, increase safety, and much more.
Let's look at a few use cases of power take-off and the benefits that can come from monitoring it through a truck tracking solution.
Snow Plows, Seatbelts, Doors, and More!
Here are some examples of power take-off or inputs that an advanced truck tracking system can monitor.
Plow Up/Down
Reverse Yes/No
Seat belt On/Off
Door Open/Closed
These are some of the most common types of power take-off that businesses want to track. If you have a safety initiative, then tracking whether or not your drivers have their seatbelts on makes sense. If you are in the food transportation business, then tracking when and how long your refrigerator trailer doors are open is important to track because the trailer cannot rise above or fall below a certain temperature.
The applications are endless depending on what type of power take-off you are looking to monitor.
What are the benefits of monitoring power take-off?
One of the most significant benefits to monitoring power take-off is the accurate historical data you will receive regarding idle time. Depending on what service your trucks provide, it can range from providing job completion to increasing driver safety fleetwide.
How Municipalities Provide Proof of Job Completion
GPS Insight customer, The City of Worcester, would field calls from citizens asking whether or not their streets had been plowed and had trouble providing proof of job completion. After implementing an advanced truck tracking solution that monitored their power take-off on their snow plows (going up and down), they could tell which streets the plows had been down and whether their plows were used or not.
How Waste Collection Businesses Improve Safety
If you have a waste collection business, it can be beneficial to know when the truck arm goes up to pick up a trash can. It will verify that they made all the stops that they were supposed to that day.
A waste collection company, Parks & Sons, used power take-off to monitor when their vehicles were put in reverse. The main goal they were looking to achieve using a truck tracking system was to increase their safety. By monitoring when and how often the vehicles were put in reverse with an input alert, they were able to correct this behavior and make the fleet safer and more efficient on their routes.

Release Date: Jul 22, 2014
Record label: Blackest Ever Black
Genre(s): Electronic, Pop/Rock
Dalhous make some of the brightest music you'll hear on Blackest Ever Black, but it occupies an uncertain footing between hope and pessimism. The upbeat timbres of their first album, An Ambassador For Laing, felt artificial—the musical equivalent of masking depression with chemical substances. Now the Scottish duo (Marc Dall on songwriting, Alex Ander on the engineering), who share an interest in mental health, sink deeper into melancholy with their second full-length, Will To Be Well.
Ever since Edinburgh's Marc Dall dropped the name Young Hunting and began working under the Dalhous alias, his recorded output has taken a more unassuming turn. Though his crepuscular inclinations still manifest itself in some of the music he makes under this new moniker, the aggression, hostility, and clanging signifiers of industrial music that populated that earlier work have largely vanished, supplanted with hushed keyboard swells and lazily clattering percussion. Over the course of one EP and two full-lengths, Dall and longtime collaborator Alex Ander have focused their efforts on capturing ominousness rather than agitation; on their new album Will To Be Well, they offer placidity in the wake of that disquietude.
Opacity is seductive as immediacy is deceptive. To look deep within ourselves is to confront blank passages and confusion, but to admit these obscurities without engaging their accompanying emotionality would be self-defeating. The slow, imprecise work to unpack, at least partially, what at first seems like empty space is how we uncover fragments of ourselves to be aligned and realigned.
Much of the writing about Dalhous to date has not dwelled too long on their stated primary influence, which in a way is not surprising. After all, it's hardly immediately obvious what bearing the work of RD Laing, the pioneering and controversial Scottish psychiatrist who passed away in 1989, might have on the group's ambient, instrumental electronica. By invoking a figure like Laing, though, Dalhous – now apparently the work of just one man, the Edinburgh-based producer Marc Dall – invite us, the listener, to imprint a whole set of charged associations on this otherwise veiled and cryptic music.

CrossFit: The World's Fastest Rising Sport
The sport of CrossFit has quickly become one of the fastest growing activities in the world. It is experiencing a lot of coverage as well as a cultural presence that hasn't been seen by any other sport.
However, despite this activity's relatively rapid emergence over the last decade, this sport's origin is surprisingly simple. The sport was created by a gymnast named Greg Glassman in the late 1990's.
Image Source
Glassman made his discovery during experimentation with different training methods when he started lifting weights to improve his strength for gymnastics.
He did this while also cycling with his friends to keep fit and for personal enjoyment. This mixture of activity bred an interest in Glassman for variety and a comprehensive means of getting fit. He felt that any one sport was insufficient for developing every element of fitness to its maximum potential.
Greg took his experimentation further by practicing circuits and High-Intensity Interval Training, or HIIT, in his garage gym. Considering this was also before HIIT training became popular, it showed Glassman's drive to find a new way to train.
One day, in his garage, he performed a circuit that included thrusters and pull-ups for 21, then 15 and then 9 repetitions. Glassman found this so intense it caused him to throw up.
This intensity also created a deep love of these types of workouts for a young Glassman that formed a basis for his future work as a trainer and pioneer of CrossFit. What followed was a series of events that led to the formation of the world-renowned sport that many know today.
The Evolution of CrossFit: From a Garage to ESPN
A personal touch
Glassman set up a gym in Santa Cruz, California. He began personal training and worked with a variety of clients on a one-to-one basis. It was here that began using his circuit-style workouts to improve their strength and fitness.
As he became more popular, he began to include multiple clients into a single session. This way he could train more clients and at a cheaper rate per person.
This led to an increased need for a method of training that could be taken on by lots of different people and could easily be made more or less difficult.
This caused the eventual conception of scaling workouts to keep the movements the same, but the intensity different. This "scaling" was dependent on ability. These movements included weight training for strength, running for endurance and power movements like plyometrics for speed.
Meanwhile, a different workout was given each day to offer a means of progressing a program. It also provided variety and began the "Workout Of the Day" practice. These practices then laid out the basic structure of what would become a CrossFit program.
Rising through the ranks
Glassman was gaining popularity as a personal trainer. But, a new clientele he gained would help bring this popularity to a new level. In 1995, Glassman was hired to train the Santa Cruz Police Department.
He began utilizing his training methods to train the police officers to perform better in their jobs. The news of these training methods then began to spread throughout the police community and in California.
This gave Glassman the notoriety, and the business, to turn his methods into something bigger than a simple gym routine. Thus began the formal creation of CrossFit as a global sport.
The creation and controversy of CrossFit
In the year 2000, Glassman and his former wife Lauren Jenai established CrossFit as a company. The gym in Santa Cruz was established as the first CrossFit gym and was set up as an affiliate-based organization.
This means that a gym who wants to carry the CrossFit logo needs to pay an affiliate fee. Coaches are also required to undergo a basic training course to be certified as a CrossFit trainer.
These gyms are allowed a large degree of freedom. This is because they are not required to conform to a set design or even a rigid practice. This greater freedom, compared to a franchised gym, allows for uniqueness in each gym.
But this form of affiliation also means that there is a reduced level of support and supervision from the parent company.
CrossFit has also drawn controversy due to its short training course for coaches. It is also reprimanded for the advanced exercises it includes in its routines.
These include Olympic lifts and plyometrics, which have a high risk of injury. But, this risk is brought about only when the exercise is performed incorrectly. Many of these injuries have usually come about through poor coaching rather than the methods themselves.
More criticism leveled at CrossFit is overtraining and issues like rhabdomyolysis. This is where excessive muscle breakdown of the muscles causes a chemical called creatinine to build up in the kidneys. This can cause kidney damage and may require a hospital visit.
Once again, though, this issue is often a problem with poor coaching and improper programming. Despite these criticisms, CrossFit has continued to grow. In 2005, 13 affiliate gyms were established.
As of 2014, this has risen to over 7000 worldwide. This has led many to ask how CrossFit evolved from a small business into a globe-spanning business.
The use of social media and the CrossFit Open
One of the biggest differences of CrossFit is its use of social media. This was done by online registration, workouts and scoring systems during early competitions like the Open.
The CrossFit open is a relatively new event. In 2007 the first annual CrossFit games took place for a prize of $500. Here, athletes were selected through registration and simple elimination in the tournament. This was a similar process to most sports.
But, as the sport got bigger, there was a need to filter the participants who were brought to compete at the games.
This led to the creation of the Open and Regional contests. In the Open, workouts are released once per week for five weeks. These workouts must be completed and recorded. The scores attained are then submitted online.
The Open is open to everyone and scores are ranked worldwide, with the best progressing to the regionals.
These competitions have been introduced and heavily promoted on social media sites. These include workout videos on Instagram, competitions live on Facebook, and even on Snapchat.
This new platform for promotion has created an unparalleled level of awareness. It also creates a larger interactive community, which encourages greater involvement and creates a great environment for athletes.
With this novel approach to communicating with athletes and scaling competitions, it should come as no surprise that CrossFit has risen to the popular sport it is today.
The rise to fame (and fortune)
As mentioned above, the first CrossFit Games took place in 2007 for a prize of $500 for the winners. This was supplied by the event creators. In 2016, the Games had a total prize fund of 2.2 million dollars, It was also sponsored by Reebok and was televised on ESPN.
Image Source
This immense rise in popularity has come from its open participation policy and high tech means of promoting its sport.
CrossFit was a fringe activity, and athletes were relatively obscure only a few years ago. But it is now a global sport and athletes have become icons. They have their own sponsors and a massive social media presence.
The sport also looks set to continue growing. It has a higher presence on social media and increasing viewership of the games. It also has a growing number of affiliate gyms joining up everyday.
This means that CrossFit could easily become a premier sport within the next decade. Despite the critics, it seems CrossFit is here to stay.
The Future of CrossFit: Where Does it go From Here?
The continuing growth of CrossFit leads to the question of exactly how this sport will develop over time. One area where the sport is beginning to emerge is in physical education curriculums in schools. Teachers are getting trained in the sport and bringing it to class to help fight obesity.
Along with this, the greater representation of outside nations will continue. At the moment, there are only five "regionals" to represent each continent. With a growing popularity in these continents, these regions are set to be diversified further.
So, for international athletes with a competitive streak, the depth of the open in your region may increase over the next few years.
Profiles and documentaries are also sure to increase. YouTube mini-documentaries and highlights are the extent of the current coverage of athletes.
But, these could be set to move to TV channels like ESPN over time. This will help further boost the profile of these competitors and bring in more young athletes.
With so many avenues for this sport to grow, it has the potential to attract further interest. Combining this with a passionate fanbase and increasing exposure makes for an ideal environment for CrossFit to grow in.

Haggling Picks Up Steam During Recession
LINDA WERTHEIMER, host:
Flash trading is one way to get the best price, but if you don't own a super fast computer our next story offers another way. In this recession, it seems more shoppers are haggling at stores.
NPR's Yuki Noguchi has this story.
(Soundbite of beeping of electronic devices)
YUKI NOGUCHI: Leah Ingram and I are at Roger's Electronics store in Flemington, New Jersey. Specifically, we're standing in front of a stainless steel, double-door refrigerator that's marked clearance. Ingram claims not to be impressed.
Ms. LEAH INGRAM (Author and Speaker): A thousand bucks. I was at Sears the other day and I saw a refrigerator that's like, twice that size, that was the same price. So, you know, even though this seems like a good price, it's like I could do better somewhere else. But, we'll see what we can do.
NOGUCHI: And it's game on. And as if on cue, store manager Harry Pursell walks over.
Ms. INGRAM: Is this on clearance because this is a floor model that you're selling?
Mr. HARRY PURSELL (Store Manager): Yes it is.
Ms. INGRAM: If I was able to get a truck today and take this out, what could you do for me as far as the price?
Mr. PURSELL: The price is where it's at, what you see.
Ms. INGRAM: There's no wiggle room, whatsoever?
Mr. PURSELL: No wiggle room whatsoever.
NOGUCHI: To me, this sounds like a set back. The opposing team's defense seems strong. But Ingram, who even finagles 10 percent off at the dentist, remains undeterred. Pressing Pursell harder, she learns about a tent sale going on outside.
While Ingram wanders off in search of better bargains, Pursell says he's not new to haggling. Within the last eight months, he says the number of people who might have never have questioned the sticker price now ask him for what Ingram calls wiggle room.
So, what percent of customers would you say are actually negotiating with you now?
Mr. PURSELL: I would say probably 40 percent, at least.
NOGUCHI: And about a year ago, where was that?
Mr. PURSELL: Probably about 10 percent.
NOGUCHI: Do you haggle yourself when you're a customer?
Mr. PURSELL: Yes, I do. That's just in my blood. If I go out and purchase, I will haggle with whoever I'm purchasing off of.
NOGUCHI: Now, I'll admit I'm a lame haggler. I feel powerless and also afraid to embarrass myself. Often, I'm not even aware there's any other price than the one on the label. So, I consulted Michael Soon Lee before shopping with Ingram. He's the author of a book called "Black Belt Negotiating." He immediately puts me to shame saying things like this:
Mr. MICHAEL SOON LEE (Author, "Black Belt Negotiating"): I save over $2,500 dollars a year, just on going out to dinner.
NOGUCHI: Lee talks his way into frequent buyer discounts in places most people couldn't imagine haggling — at gas stations, dry cleaners and at restaurants, he strikes deals where he gets money back for every $100 he spends. At other places, he might guarantee a certain amount of business, or shop on their slowest days. And he negotiates this apparently with Zen-like composure.
Mr. LEE: Before you ever go into the ring, you can't be afraid. Because if you are, you've already lost. And you've got to recognize, in haggling, there's really nothing to lose. If you don't ask for a discount, the answer is already no.
NOGUCHI: You tell a vendor what you're worth to them, he says, and then you ask what they can do for you. Then there's the hard part: you sit and wait.
Mr. LEE: The next person who speaks — loses.
NOGUCHI: Back at the tent sale at Roger's, Ingram has hit pay dirt.
Ms. INGRAM: Seven hundred dollars? How could you get a side by side, stainless steel refrigerator for $700?
NOGUCHI: She's looking flushed, elated. But without betraying her excitement, she still tries to negotiate the $75 delivery fee. Ingram fails on that count but gets Pursell's card because she plans to come back and parlay her refrigerator purchase into a possible package discount when she's ready to buy a microwave and stove.
As we wait for her payment to process, Ingram reminisces about victories past. Like the time she and her husband offered half the $2,000 price for two leather chairs at a discount store called The Dump.
Ms. INGRAM: And they said no. So, we said alright, you know what we're going to do? We're going to sit here. And it's like we had a sit in at The Dump. And we did not move from those chairs. And, you know, the sales guy kept walking back and forth, and finally he was like, okay, how's $1,200? We're like, great. Sold.
NOGUCHI: After leaving the store, we hit the sandwich shop next door and, without even thinking, I whip out my credit card and pay full price.

Singapore—July 6, 2012—FICO (NYSE:FICO), the leading provider of analytics and decision management technology, today announced that BDO Unibank (PSE: BDO) of the Philippines has selected FICO® Falcon® Fraud Manager to help contain fraud cases in its credit card business. BDO, the Philippines' largest bank in total resources, loans and deposits, aims to cut its fraud losses in half in the first year using FICO's industry-leading fraud technology. BDO is also the first bank in the region to purchase the new FICO® Merchant Monitoring Solution, which helps banks and acquirers (who process transactions for merchants) detect merchant non-compliance with payment association rules and potential transaction fraud.
Credit card usage in the Philippines has expanded significantly in recent years, accompanied by an increase in fraud. Criminals are known to target rapidly growing emerging markets where card usage is outpacing the implementation of effective controls. BDO selected FICO following a rigorous competitive review involving eight global providers. Of all the solutions BDO surveyed, only FICO's offered advanced neural networks capable of analyzing thousands of transactions against fraud profiles in a matter of milliseconds, as well as proven adaptive analytics – the ability to "learn" new fraud patterns as they emerge.
"We're committed to giving our customers the utmost protection every time they use their credit cards, whether it be via over-the-counter, mobile or online transactions. The FICO solution will assist us in doing that," said Rolando Tanchanco, BDO executive vice president for Consumer Lending Group. "And we believe the FICO Falcon Fraud Manager can best provide the needed solution to address one of our main business concerns – fraud detection."
"With the real possibility of a five percent increase per year in credit card losses, it's critical for Philippine banks to have the most advanced tools to thwart sophisticated fraud schemes," said Dan McConaghy, president, FICO Asia Pacific. "BDO is demonstrating a firm commitment to protecting its growing customer base from the threat of fraud."
FICO fraud solutions help banks around the world manage their enterprise fraud challenges. FICO® Falcon® Fraud Manager, the world's leading card fraud management solution, protects more than two billion payment cards worldwide. FICO currently works with five banks in the Philippines to manage credit risk, grow their portfolios profitably and mitigate fraud risk.
About BDOBDO is a full-service universal bank that provides a complete array of industry-leading products and services to the retail and corporate markets including Lending (corporate, middle market, SME, and consumer), Deposit-taking, Foreign Exchange, Brokering, Trust and Investments, Credit Cards, Corporate Cash Management, and Remittances. Through its subsidiaries, the Bank offers Leasing and Financing, Investment Banking, Private Banking, Bancassurance, Insurance Brokerage, and Stock Brokerage services.

Amazing Multivitamins for Women and Men
Feb 14 2019
Men's and women's bodies have different needs. This is where the concept of different multivitamins for women and men comes from. Multivitamins are used to provide vitamins that are not taken in through the diet. Multivitamins are also used to treat vitamin deficiencies (lack of vitamins) caused by illness, pregnancy, poor nutrition, digestive disorders, and many other conditions.
Vitamins are essential to your overall health. They perform many critical roles in your body, from producing energy to ensuring proper function of bodily systems.
Not getting enough of certain nutrients can negatively impact your health and even result in chronic diseases. If you take a multivitamin, it's probably because you want to do everything you can to protect your health.
It is clear that a multi-vitamin supplement has the ability to increase our wellness. Calcium and Vitamin D are proven to aid in bone health, Folic Acid is proven to reduce birth defects, B Vitamins are proven to increase energy and aid in neurological functions, Magnesium is proven to relax the body, antioxidants are proven to prevent certain cancers and both Vitamin C and Zinc are proven to increase immune function. These are just a few of the benefits a multi-vitamin has to offer.
Take it upon yourself to find the best quality multi-vitamin on the market today. Look for a multivitamin that is natural, purity tested, allergen free and made without fillers, artificial colors or additives. A high-quality multivitamin will be easy to swallow and have an above average bio-availability.
To ensure that you're getting the proper fuel to support an active, healthy lifestyle you might want to consider trying a multivitamin that is specifically formulated to meet a men or a woman's needs, to your diet.

It turns out Umar Farouk Abdulmutallab was not a picky would-be terrorist. The infamous Christmas 2009 underwear bomber would've liked to have blown up a plane above the skies of Houston or Chicago, the Associated Press reports. But he settled on a Detroit flight because it was the cheapest.
Abdulmutallab, who was allegedly armed with the thankfully malfunctioning improvised explosive by Al-Qaeda's Yemen branch, was discouraged from bombing a Chicago flight because of the "cost" and was considering bombing Houston where he attended an Islamic conference. Compare that to the three business class seats and two first class seats the FBI says the 9/11 hijackers booked on Flight 11 to Los Angeles.
The AP points out that "Al-Qaeda's Yemen branch does not share Osama bin Laden's desire to attack symbolic targets, preferring instead to strike at targets of opportunity." Meaning: it's a reminder that prominent American cities like New York, D.C., L.A., or Chicago aren't the sole targets of foreign terrorists, who appear to be looking to strike the most convenient targets--no matter where they're located.

First, it's great to hear that Future Stars of Wrestling (FSW) Boss Joe DeFalco is back home and I'm positive will be at the FSW Arena Friday for the go-home show before Survival of the Fittest August 17th at Sam's Town Live. He's never missed one in Ten Years at the Helm so don't expect that to change. It would be the Upset of the Year. Don't bet on it. Beat it Cal.
FSW confirmed three matches have been signed for Friday Night's Edition of High Octane at the FSW Arena. BELL TIME 7PM. Ice Williams will get his chance at revenge against the shovel wielding, "New York Legend" Remy Marcel, MMA Star Kyra Batara will face the Evil Vixen Mazzerati and Kyle Hawk battles Greg Romero.
After his near victory against the No Limits Champion Damian Drake the "self-proclaimed" No Limits Champ steps into the ring against the man that whacked both with a shovel two weeks ago. Ice Williams was irate on Social Media calling for Marcel's head in a video tirade soon after the attack. It was his first one-on-one shot against Drake for the Gold and as The FSW Boss put it, "Remy Marcel ruined everything." Now Marcel is one win away from that No Limits Title shot as no action was taken by the FSW brass. Will Ice be able to keep his head together, stay calm, and get the win? It's hard to bet against the talented rookie, and don't forget about Slime E. oops Sal E. who really is a difference-maker at ringside. What will Damian Drake have to say about all this? Regardless, the Daredevil has had one hell of a title reign.
The FSW Women's division has gotten a big boost with the recent return of Mazzerati who faces FSW newcomer and MMA Star Kyra "Mogwai" Batara. Mazzerati will need to use all her dirty tricks to pick up a win against "Mogwai." Batara boasts an 8-4 record in the cage and is coming off a three-fight winning streak. After taking a year off with a back injury "Mogwai" picked up a submission win when she returned to Combate Americas in April. She's a jiu-jitsu practitioner who's won three fights by submission and most everyone in attendance would love to see Mazzerati tap.
Greg Romero never got the No Limits Title shot against Drake one-on-one and with the Legend digging into the mix he's on the outside looking in. Now he's booked against Kyle Hawk who is looking for a big win and was awfully close to one last month. Hawk narrowly missed against "The Flip Artist" Matt Vandagriff at Beers and Bodyslams so collecting a W against the former No Limits Champ may push him into the No Limits Title conversation. The pressure is on Romero. He was a little "unlucky" I suppose, but he still had a chance at FSW10 (Didn't get pinned). A loss here could be tough to overcome with a jam-packed No Limits division sporting guys like Douglas James, Vandagriff, TJ Perkins, and of course Ice and Remy.

I was not prepared for what I got in this book. I knew it was a memoir, but it really does focus on asking and all ways we ask people for things and all the things we don't ask for until it hurts too much. It's a beautiful book and made me realize that I really need to work on asking more.
Rock star, crowdfunding pioneer, and TED speaker Amanda Palmer knows all about asking. Performing as a living statue in a wedding dress, she wordlessly asked thousands of passersby for their dollars. When she became a singer, songwriter, and musician, she was not afraid to ask her audience to support her as she surfed the crowd (and slept on their couches while touring). And when she left her record label to strike out on her own, she asked her fans to support her in making an album, leading to the world's most successful music Kickstarter.
Even while Amanda is both celebrated and attacked for her fearlessness in asking for help, she finds that there are important things she cannot ask for-as a musician, as a friend, and as a wife. She learns that she isn't alone in this, that so many people are afraid to ask for help, and it paralyzes their lives and relationships. In this groundbreaking book, she explores these barriers in her own life and in the lives of those around her, and discovers the emotional, philosophical, and practical aspects of THE ART OF ASKING.
Part manifesto, part revelation, this is the story of an artist struggling with the new rules of exchange in the twenty-first century, both on and off the Internet. THE ART OF ASKING will inspire readers to rethink their own ideas about asking, giving, art, and love.
I absolutely loved this book. I'll be honest, I hadn't actually heard of Amanda Palmer before seeing this book. I'm not as big into music as I am books and I've rarely gone to Kickstarter, so it's not much of a surprise either. I listened to her TED talk (and I do love TED!), which covers many of the same bases as her book. I'd consider it a really condensed version. Here it is:
The art of asking is really rather genius, though it's not exactly foreign to my life. There's a connection between what Palmer refers to as the art of asking and my husband's work in the church. Churches don't make people pay for their services, they ask. But churches are dying off and Kickstarters are getting more money every day. They seem to have lost the art to it. I have recommended the book to him and I hope he reads/listens to it.
I listened to it, which was definitely the way to go. Palmer narrates the book and she even sings a song between chapters occasionally. For me, it did just as promised in the blurb. It made me rethink some things, specifically what it means to ask instead of demand and to share the process of creating art with those around us.
I hate Twitter but I understand her love of it. I've never been good at starting conversations with people in front of me. I've never been good at being seen or letting others know that I see them. With these in mind, the book has created a degree of fear that I will never get to where I want to be. But then it always comes back in a haunting sort of way. I can get there, but I have to grow first and I have to do the things that need to be done.
Plus, I want connection when I get there, not adoration or whatever. It made me pay a bit more attention to the Twitter feeds of the artists I do admire. It makes me want to connect with them on some small level. I'm working up to it. I followed a few more since reading this, mostly comic creators that I love. Reaching out for connection is a little terrifying. But I think about standing on that box, trying to give someone a flower. I want to try something like that one day.
I loved that the book began with a introduction by Brene Brown. Some of you may recall my love for her and her work. Their messages share that connection can only happen after the risk of vulnerability. It only happens when we've reached out to someone who can reject us, but doesn't. If they are forced, it's not connection.
There were plenty of adorable anecdotes, but the meat of the book rests on just what the title implies. There is an art to asking. The book also dives pretty deeply into the art that can be present in giving. Some give, and some do so artfully. There is a difference. My mother has been one of those who give artfully. She has a way of not making the recipient feel shame, which is also important to connection. Palmer sums it up in "take the donut" or "take the flower". I love food, so I prefer "take the donut". I will also have to work on taking to donut in the future. I tend to be the bashful sort that prefers people keep their donut but totally appreciates the offer.
Has anyone else read this book? Did it make you take another look at asking, giving, receiving, connection, vulnerability…..?
I borrowed my copy from the library, but it's also available elsewhere. Follow the linked cover to the BookLikes page for options.

Richard Branson, the 67-year-old British entrepreneur, says he's in a closely-fought race with Amazon CEO Jeff Bezos to get the first fare-paying passengers into space.
Speaking to the BBC's "You and Yours" radio show, he said that Tesla CEO Elon Musk is doing "fantastically well" with rocket development and space transport for cargo. But, he added that ultimately the commercial space race was between himself and Bezos.
"I think we're both neck and neck as to who will put people into space first," Branson told the British broadcaster in an interview to be aired Monday.
"Ultimately, we have to do it safely. It's more a race with ourselves to make sure we have the craft that are safe to put people up there."
The serial entrepreneur, who owns the commercial space flight company Virgin Galactic, has invested in space travel since 2004 and was initially expected to go to space himself before April of this year.
Giving an update on his progress to the BBC, he said that there were "exciting times ahead" and his first trip to space would be "months away, not years away."
"I'm going for astronaut training; I'm going for fitness training, centrifuge and other training, so that my body will hopefully cope well when I go to space," he said.

Eden Interrupted
'Entertaining and addictive, this story of life, love and intrigue in the suburbs is a delight!'
(Gina Kirkham, author of the Mavis Upton series)
About Eden Interrupted
90s popstar Ben Wilde and his bride Lisa return from honeymoon to find a cuckoo in the nest and a surprise European tour in the diary.
Lisa befriends neighbour Rosemary, who is also home alone while husband Nigel travels for work. But will the women's grim suspicions be confirmed, or does absence make the heart grow paranoid?
In the village, Eden Hill's coffee shop is under new management with the arrival of divorced Mum, Chloe, and troubled teen son, Jake. But serving flat whites leaves Chloe feeling, well, flat until she meets Caleb, a widowed father of two; if only Jake and Caleb weren't at loggerheads.
New to Eden Hill are Jan and Martin Bevan, but a frosty reception leaves them wondering if they've made a huge mistake.
From the writer of Seeking Eden, Eden Interrupted is another sizzling slice-of-life drama where paths (and swords) cross, and misunderstandings abound. Perfect for fans of Fiona Gibson and Marian Keyes.

I flew to and from Salt Lake City within the last few weeks. As I planned, I got a window seat to take photographs; there I found an infinitely variable, ethereal subject. Clouds, the nice puffy ones that dotted the sky created beautiful shadows down below, and through the openings in between them I could see and photograph them, clouds and their shadows. Most of the time I used my Canon G7, modified for infrared, which gave even more penetrating views of both the clouds and the shadows they cast. I took altogether over 300 photographs during the flights, mostly cloud shadows but also great views of natural and man-made shapes, forms, textures, and the abstract, fractal-like world they created. At the end of this post, you will see a small collection of these photographs.
Shadows can be extremely powerful components of photographs, they evoke different feelings and convey different meanings. Philosophers from Plato on, perhaps even from the earlier time have used shadows as metaphors and written about them. They are indeed fascinating, now I am planning to acquire and read Seeing Dark Things by Sorensen. The more I thought about the cloud shadows the more special they have become for me. Cloud shadows are unlike any other shadow we normally see. In fact, photography is as much about the shadows as it is about the light reflecting off surfaces. Yes, sometimes the shadow may be so diffuse, so soft we may think that there is no shadow. Make no mistake about it, if light strikes an object it must cast a shadow, no matter how soft or diffuse. What distinguishes the cloud shadows from the shadows of most objects we see around us (including our own shadow of course) is their continual change and eventual disappearance. I do not mean the disappearance of the shadow only, but also, and more emphatically the disappearance of the object that casts the shadow along with the shadow.
Cloud formations have purely random patterns, size, shape, and density. Therefore, to begin with, the shadow they cast has a random shape. The surface upon which the shadow is cast, and thus becomes visible, also has random shapes, terrain, texture, and reflectivity. The intersection of these gives birth to infinitely variable shadow shapes. Additionally, the clouds constantly change, they move over terrain, grow, shrink, get thinner, and eventually disappear. It is this continual flux that makes the cloud shadows ethereal and special to me. Of course, in the long run, everything changes and eventually disappears, shadow and all. But we rarely get a glimpse of this phenomenon as it routinely occurs in the cloud shadows, often without anyone noticing and perceiving their special qualities. Now, they give me a wonderful feeling of seeing something magical, something fleeting, something joyous, something to celebrate.
Next time you see a cloud passing over, try to be aware of its shadow and fleeting nature. I think you will find it at least fun, if not outright wonderful.

text: Maxine 0 Posted January 22, 2008 Report Share Posted January 22, 2008 Well, I also have a cold and lack of sleep, but yesterday and today the gravity has been intense.I say gravity, because it feels like when you have been in a deep pool, and get out too quickly-----like you weigh 1000 pounds. Just very intense, and like I'm going to collapse----like a drop attack. Not actually passing out, but just intense gravity and weakness. I also feel light headed, and feel like I'm fighting to not pass out.We have a very happy occasion in our family----I have a new grand daughter, just yesterday. We were just at my son's for dinner Saturday night, and Sunday his fiance had the baby. They went in to the hospital at 4:00am, and our little one was born at 7:30. My husband and I watched Kaela who is the daughter of his fiance. She's three years old, and we are working hard to make sure she's doing OK with acccepting her new little sister ect. ect. Pretty stressful, but we are excited at the same time. It all happened so fast, and the day she was born, I was going on 2 hours of sleep, as little Kaela was picked up by my husband, and we had her for the last two days. She started a cold last noight, and I have one, but I think ours started at the same time.Last night when we were leaving the hospital, I told my husband that he better take Kaela with him to the car, and pick me up at the main door. I had so much trouble just sitting up, and when I stood up, the floor felt like it was coming up at me, and I felt horrible. When the Car pulled up, I had to shuffle like a 90 year old out to the car. Today the same thing kept happening. Last night I got about 8 hours sleep though. We all ordered Pizza, as this was the closest place to eat near the hospital-------the hospital food is horrible. I got so sick---bloated, bathroom stops, ect. Then tremors---and still struggling with those. That's why I'm still up, because I feel soooooooo miserable. I'm so upset that I feel so bad, and can't embrace the joy of our new addition to the family.I'm really struggling with all my health issues, and tonight-------more shuffling, as I feel the ground pull thing when I try to walk normally. I cried, and could barely talk to tell my husband the way I feel. My body and brain are tired, and I get tired of explaining myself. I'm just Glad he was off work yesterday and today, or I would have been sunk.Please pray my cold doesn't turn into much, as I think this would put me over the edge. I can't handle another thing, and I would like to feel at least half as good so I can enjoy my new grand daughter.Do any of you have this drop attack feeling?Take Care,Julie :0) Link to post Share on other sites
