US scientists have developed an experimental blood test, which can detect cancer early and also to identify where on the body the tumor begins to grow.
The test, if improved and clinically applied, it can help to reduce the invasive procedures such as biopsies. Researchers at the University of California-San Diego, led by Professor Zhang Kun biomechanics, made after publication in genetics journal "Nature Genetics".
Conventional genetic blood test for cancer detect the DNA released by the tumor cells. But they are not able to give an indication of where the cancer grows in the body. But the knowledge of the tumor location is critical for the timely and effective treatment.
The new test uses a new type «DNA signature" that can both detect cancer cells in blood, and to identify their position. When a tumor begins to grow in an area of the body, compete with normal cells for nutrients and space, gradually destroying them.
As healthy cells die, they release DNA in blood and depending on the "signature" of each genetic material, can be measured by what part of the body it comes from. Each of the body tissue can be identified by a unique "signature"
"We made the discovery accidentally. Initially we followed the conventional approach and we were looking just for cancer cells signals, trying to understand where they were coming. But simultaneously we saw signals from other cells and we realized that if we unify the two groups of signals, we could actually identify the presence or absence of a tumor and where he develops, "said Zhang.
As said before the test used in clinical practice should be improved in cooperation with oncologists.

For the second year in a row, B.A.S.E. daycare students in the "Supporting Children as Leaders Through Play it Fair!" program identified an issue they would like to work on in their school community and used new leadership skills to complete their Play it Fair! Community Action Projects (CAPS).
These projects focused on creating iMovie trailers and photo slideshows that would encourage others in their daycare community to make the school environment more caring, inclusive and safe for all.
Some 200 B.A.S.E. students from Gerald McShane, Michelangelo International and John Caboto Academy created six community action projects with the help of nine Vincent Massey Collegiate high school students who led and mentored the students during the entire school year.
Above is the opening slide of the Gerald McShane photo slideshow CAP project. To view the slideshow click here.

How one cancelled train can ruin the whole system
After my blog post about how maths means trains seem more frequent than they are, here's another even more irritating rail-based maths problem.
From Germany, I've been feeling quietly smug watching the chaos on the UK Northern and Thameslink lines over the past few days. Well, joke's on me, because I got my own transport chaos this morning. One tram didn't show up this morning, which was mildly annoying. But they're frequent – every five minutes or less at peak times – so I wasn't too worry. Five minutes later, along came the next tram, but it was so full up that no-one could board. Another five minutes, and another totally packed tram arrived. By the time I managed to squeeze my way onto a tram, I'd missed my train to work.
How could this happen? How could a well-trafficked route, which doesn't normally run anywhere near capacity, completely collapse with a single cancelled tram?
What is the top-heaviest country?
This post is based on an interesting Twitter thread about country populations! In particular, this pair of tweets from Josh Fruhlinger:
(2/3 of the US population is in the top 15 states, which is fewer states than i expected but still a lot less topheavy than the EU)
— Josh Fruhlinger (@jfruh) March 15, 2018
It's an interesting thing – how top-heavy is a country or federation? In other words, how much of the population is concentrated in its largest constituents?
Frankfurt Sneak Statistics IV – Sne4k
Here we are again.* A year of Frankfurt movie sneak previews, in statistics! You can see 2014, 2015 and 2016, now without further ado, here's 2017!
Why we need more continents
In any group of geography nerds, one of the biggest peeves will be "Europe's not a continent". From this perspective, Europe is just a peninsula of Asia, and the listing of Europe in the seven traditional continents (Africa, Antarctica, Asia, Australia/Oceania, Europe, North America, South America) is just a result of Eurocentric bias.
This isn't an unreasonable view – "continent" doesn't really have a set definition, but a common one is "large area of land surrounded by water". By this definition, Australia and Antarctica definitely fit and North and South America nearly do, as does Africa. Asia and Europe are then the weirdos, since they share a long, indefinite land border somewhere in the Urals. So you redefine this as one big continent, Eurasia, and then everything just about works.
But there's another problem. By population, the continents are uneven. There are about 1.2 billion Africans, 750 million Europeans, 600 million North Americans, 400 million South Americans and 40 million Oceanians. That adds up to just about 3 billion people. The other 4.2 billion people on this planet all live in Asia. More people live in Asia than live in all the other continents combined. Adding Europe to the mix gives Eurasia a total population of 5 billion, or around 70% of the world's population. What's the point of dividing the world into continents if you're going to have one continent with almost everyone?
In fact, what's the point of dividing the world into continents at all?
Did Wikipedia hint at the Labour surge?
Fair to say, most people did not predict the result of the election. A few pollsters were correct – Survation and YouGov, take a bow – but most thought that even if May didn't get the landslide she wanted, at least she'd gain and Labour would lose, right?
Then came shocks as safe-safe-safe Tory seats like Kensington and Canterbury, which have been Tory for decades, fell to Labour. The result was a hung parliament. Who saw it coming?
Maybe, Wikpedia.
Frankfurt Sneak Statistics III – Sn3ak
Here we are again. Another year of OV Sneak Preview – the showing of a random new movie each week at Frankfurt Metropolis cinema. In 2014 and 2015, I collected all the statistics of the films we saw and did a bit of maths. Now, let's do it all again. This time, we also have statistics for how many films passed the Bechdel test, provided by the lovely Dove.
Some Eurovision 2016 statistics
Today, 200 million Europeans wake up with a banging headache, an empty liquor cabinet and almost no memory of any of the music they heard last night. Yes, it's Eurovision time!
In the interests of openness, Eurovision makes all the results available in a convenient Excel format, and this means I get to have some fun. Here are a few of the more interesting results to come out of the night.
Regional voting happens… but mostly in the phone vote
The voting system used last night wasn't actually new – there's been a 50/50 phone vote and jury split since 2009. However, previously, these results were merged into one before the results were given. This is the first time the votes have been given individually, which helps us see exactly where Eurovision's much touted regional bias comes from.
Frankfurt Sneak Preview Stats – The Sequel
Another year, another… year of films? Anyway, here are some stats about the Sneak Preview films we had at Frankfurt Metropolis Cinestar. You can see last year's here, and compare with what happened this year. Get ready for some movie statistics!
Frankfurt Maths 4: Sneak Preview
Every week, the Frankfurt Metropolis Cinestar cinema shows a "Sneak Preview" of a random upcoming English film. We attend every week, which means that over the course of the year, we get to see a good selection of everything Hollywood and Pinewood have to offer.
And, as Dove suggested, it might be fun to look back over the year of films and do a bit of stats. Sneak seems to be loaded with gritty thrillers, but how many are there, really? How many films go on so long that we miss the last train?
Let's see!
Frankfurt Maths 3: The S-Bahn to St Ives
After weeks of work, the S-Bahn is running properly once more! To celebrate, here's one of my favourite little maths problems. It's something I first noticed during the torturously long wait for a Merseyrail train before the timetable improvements. I haven't a clue whether it has a real name, so for now, let's call it the S-Bahn Paradox.
Suppose you want to go from Frankfurt West to Frankfurt Süd (this was the limit until the building work ended). Well, there's a train precisely every five minutes during the day, and the journey takes almost exactly 15 minutes (more like 16, but let's say 15). As you travel, you'll pass trains travelling in the other direction. Supposing you leave just as the next train is coming in, how many will you meet along the way (including the ones at the start and end stations)?
15 minutes, a train every five minutes, that means that there are three five minute periods, and (not forgetting the train you meet at time zero), you meet four trains altogether, right?
Well, not quite.
Let's do this the easy way, with pictures. Here's our train line, straightened out and with the stations removed (as well as trains that don't travel the full distance between West and Süd). Our train is on the left hand track, facing south. Each tick represents the distance that the train can travel in one minute. (It doesn't matter that this distance may vary as the train speeds up and slows down – all that matters is average speed)
As you can see from the number on the right, we've just met one train, and there are three more waiting for us. The four theory's looking pretty good right now. Let's see what happens if we bump the clock along by one minute.

North Texans bundled up and furnace repairmen kept busy as temperatures dropped Monday morning.
"It's very, very cold," said Sean Regan, of Grapevine. "I wasn't expecting it to be this cold. But it could be worse -- it could be snowing."
Not yet, anyway.
Weather Connection
Connecting you with your forecast and all the things that make North Texas weather unique.
But the sudden cold snap did get the phones ringing at heating and air-conditioning companies across North Texas. After running the A/C for so long, many people suddenly had to switch on their furnaces to cope with the cold.
"They know it's getting time to turn it on so they want to be safe," said Ismael Moreno, of Berkey's Heating in Southlake. "Everyone wants to know that they're safe."
Moreno spent the day performing annual tuneups on furnaces to get them ready for the heating season ahead.
Workers putting up Christmas decorations in Grapevine welcomed the change in the weather.
"(It's) better than the heat," one said.
Known as the "Christmas Capital of Texas," Grapevine has 1,400 holiday events planned during more than 40 days.
With the change in the weather, it's not only starting to look like Christmas in the Northeast Tarrant County city, it's beginning to feel like it too.

Great football teams are never simply made of a group of men in uniform. Teams are groups of individuals who share the passion for football. The passion is what drives them to become better each and every day; the information below will help you to become better too.
Be aware of what your teammates have to say. You will probably disagree on a lot of things but always remember that you are a team and that winning is your common goal. The input you receive from them may give you some good ideas about how to skunk the other team.
Weight training is imperative for football players. A solid regimen must be followed year round. Basic lifts combined with heavy weights should be used to build speed and strength. You will find both skills an absolute necessity for being a successful player.
If you come up with a few trick plays that work well, try to only use it sparingly. You opponent will learn your next move rendering the play ineffective if you use it often.
There are many techniques to learn when it comes to football. By being the smartest player, you can outwit your opponents. Mentally beat them, if you can't physically do it.
You have to be able to intuitively tell what's next by the opposition's formation. Receiver placement can give you a lot of information about a play before it happens. Watch pro games and come up with a playbook of the different plays.
You must support your fellow teammates. There aren't as many sports where teamwork matters as much as in football. You will ride the ups and downs of the season together. Never think of just you, think of everyone in the locker room. Make your teammates more confident by supporting them. When you are a confident team, winning will come more easily.
A great football tip if you're a runningback or receiver is to perfect the art of using the stiff arm. The stiff arm can block your opponent and it allow you to get extra time and yards. You just straightly stick out your arm.
You should have a good work ethic if you want to be in the game often. Even though natural talent helps, work ethic is more important to be a true success. Your coach would prefer a hardworking player over player that has natural abilities and is lazy.
Score touchdowns. That is the main goal. To score one, one player needs to carry the ball across the other team's goal line, or they need to catch a pass while in the end zone. When the ball passes the goal line with the player holding it, a touchdown is scored. Each touchdown is six points.
Your teammates can help you shine or pull you down. If you keep working to hone your abilities, those on your team are sure to follow suit. Share this article with them and they might learn something as well.

Alaska Heli Ski Guides, Gear & Safety
The ultimate powder experience begins with the guides
And when it comes to Alaska heli skiing guide experience Ours are the most accomplished of all the outfits in Alaska.
Each guide has at least 15 years of experience with hundreds of runs cataloged in the Tordrillo Mountains. They have a keen awareness of the constantly changing environment and how to mitigate potential hazards.
As your hosts for the week, you will quickly come to understand the TML difference when it comes to exceptional guiding. Every week, heli ski guides scout new mountain terrain, often taking guests to claim first descents.
Our team blends the art and science of snow safety, our extensive experience with Alaska topography and winter conditions, and applies that knowledge to the terrain we ski. We also match each run with a skier's ability, confidence, and desire to take on new challenges. Each heli ski guide must have current medical, technical, and snow science training, and all certifications and required guidelines of the Guide Associations.
See Dates & Reservations and Book Your Alaskan Adventure!

Heli Ski Equipment & Gear
Bring your favorite powder skis or snowboard, or just your boots, and we'll take of it from there. We can outfit you with the essential heli board and heli ski equipment, including the latest fat boards for deep powder and all-mountain conditions. Our heli ski guides explain the features of the different gear and make recommendations based on what you are comfortable riding, then adjust the settings and wax them for your use.
Avalanche rescue gear provided includes a BCA probe and shovel, an ABS flotation pack and Pulse Barrivox transceivers. In addition to the heli ski equipment, each trip starts with guides explaining the technology and potential scenarios in the event of a search and rescue resulting from an avalanche. Our heli ski guides are trained in group leadership and terrain management. Before each outing, they will discuss dangers to be aware of so that exposure to the risks of traveling in avalanche terrain is reduced.

Semiconductor vendors are constantly on the lookout for the market dislocations that will provide the opportunity for product innovation and subsequent sales and revenue growth. Market dislocations tend to be anticipated and debated long before they come to fruition — echoing the old adage that invention is 10 percent innovation and 90 percent perspiration. Today, the healthcare industry is on the cusp of a market dislocation that promises to change the way healthcare is administered.
The pressures to reduce medical costs are driving the need for devices that provide healthcare in the home. These devices provide 24/7 real-time monitoring of:
- Vital signs (outpatient ECG monitoring, temperature, blood pressure, etc.);
- Physical well being (fall prevention and detection, weight, and calorie control); and
- Cognitive behavior (to aid in diagnosis of the onset of a medical condition)
This is just a very short list of home-based devices, but it gives an idea of how out-of-hospital patient monitoring can help reduce healthcare costs and improve personal health. Reducing the time a patient stays in the hospital for "observation" by transitioning to effective remote "observation" will inevitably reduce costs. Employing these devices to aid in the area of preventative healthcare will also make a significant contribution.
These motivations are driving companies — both traditional manufacturers of healthcare equipment as well as those not familiar with this market — to focus attention on developing devices for this emerging space. However, as with most market dislocations, there are a number of challenges that need to be addressed before a ubiquitous out-of-hospital patient care program can be fully realized. Geoffrey Moore's bestselling book, Crossing the Chasm, aptly describes the situation in which the healthcare industry will soon find itself.
Moore suggests that the diffusion of innovation is precipitated by the use of that innovative technology by early adopters. Therefore, it is of vital importance that there is a strong acceptance of out-of-hospital medical devices in the early stages of their introduction. Currently, home monitoring and diagnostic devices (Fig. 1) are successful at monitoring vital signs (such as blood pressure and temperature) and testing for glucose levels, but have still not created the paradigm shift in healthcare that is necessary to take us across the chasm.
How Do We "Cross the Chasm"?
Notwithstanding all the other factors that will influence change in the future of healthcare (government programs, insurance, economic climate, regulatory rules, etc.) the product challenges for companies targeting this market are quite significant. These include trying to develop products that are:
- Able to provide the level of patient monitoring that will have the desired effect (outlined above) and prove to be useful to the patient and the healthcare system;
- Low enough in power that they operate for long periods without needing to be charged;
- Low enough in price for mass adoption;
- Able to communicate with remote servers;
- Ergonomically acceptable to be part of our everyday lives; and
- Designed to be error-free even for untrained users
This is no easy task, especially since the business models behind these products are still being defined. Ultimately, those driving this change in paradigm should not lose sight of the problem by becoming obsessed with one or two of the elements listed above. For example, fixating on "low cost" while neglecting "effective monitoring" runs the risk that the product never moves past the gadget category. Of course, there is no question that product affordability is vitally important, but it should never compromise the fundamental reason why out-of-hospital monitoring devices are needed. Credible solutions that address the critical need for patient monitoring outside of the clinical environment are one of the key factors that will enable the healthcare industry to evolve. Achieving the ultimate goal requires acknowledging the key role technology plays in securing the support of not only the early adopters but also the early majority that will take healthcare across the chasm.
For out-of-hospital monitoring to become part of everyday life, an effective return on investment (ROI) must be achieved — that is, there must be assurance that a tangible benefit is gained from being monitored. In the clinical environment, ROI is pretty evident. Being monitored while in the hospital is accepted as a matter of course and gives patients peace of mind throughout the duration of their stay. People tend to take for granted that hospital monitoring equipment is of high quality, comprehensive, and expensive. As such, should it not also be expected that out-of-hospital monitoring devices need to carry the same level of expectation? Once again, advanced technology is the key to achieving this.

class=Carden-Loyd , Cited from ebay page by McKee Models:
The Vickers Carden Loyd Tankette was developed by Englishman, J. Carden and was a two man, lightly armoured vehicle armed with one Vickers 0.303 machine gun. The tankette was a popular export and was sold to 16 countries. The chassis was modified for different roles. Effectively the tankettes were armoured cars on tracks and were best suited to providing infantry with covering fire or reconnaissance roles rather than being used as tanks.
Forty of these vehicles on order for the Netherlands army were taken over by the War Office in 1939 and used for training British Army units. Unofficially they were known as 'Dutchmen' by the British.
This vehicle depicts a 1937 Pattern vehicle fitted with a 40mm gun. This may well represent an export variant, Commercial Light Tank Vickers Carden Loyd 4 ton where the Model 1937 was armed with a 2 pounder/ 40mm gun. This was built for the Latvians and 6 were delivered.

Within ten minutes of "Beauty and the Beast" 2017. I wanted to rise from my seat and applaud. Within twenty minutes I had laughed, gasped, and been wowed. I can't say "go see it." You will see it. It's going to be a classic.
I saw a ten a.m. matinee, thinking that I'd avoid the crowds. No way. The theater was full. Some little girls were dressed in fairy tale gowns. In spite of the film's length, I didn't see anyone bail – no one left the theater and never returned. When the film ended, the audience broke out in applause.
I love watching lots of money and talent explode on every inch of my visual field. "Beauty and the Beast" slathers on the money *and* the TLC. Someone took the time to paint roses on the lintels of a cottage, and to costume Belle in bloomers so she can ride a horse, and to wrinkle the noses of the CGI wolves when they growl.
"Beauty and the Beast" feels very much like a fairy tale. It has the plot conventions and morality of a fairy tale. The wolves menace when menacing wolves are needed to move the plot along, and they are nowhere to be seen when Belle needs to ride through that forest without being interrupted. This is how fairy tales work. They have their own logic. A peasant crone entering a rich man's house, begging for alms and being refused – that is the classic spark of a witch frenzy, or a curse.
Watching Emma Watson delighted me just as watching Julie Andrews in films like "Mary Poppins" and "Sound of Music" once did. Watson is an intelligent, dignified, decent human being and that comes across in her every move. She's never the dumb blonde, never the shrinking violet or damsel in distress, never the flirtatious coquette who has nothing to recommend her but her curves. She inhabits the role of a smart, inquisitive, integral human being.
Twinkly-eyed old pro Kevin Kline is a favorite. Ewan Macgregor somehow manages to turn on the charm even as he is nothing more than a CGI candlestick. Emma Thompson imbues a "there, there now" maternal instinct into a Cockney teapot, Stanley Tucci, Audra MacDonald, and Ian McKellan are more jewels in the cast.
You can practically smell the testosterone coming off of Luke Evans as Gaston. He's both funny and menacing, just handsome enough and just oily enough.
The few complaints I have with this film I had with the animated version as well. I wish there were more time spent building a relationship between The Beast and Belle, and less time spent on chase and fight scenes, but I recognize that this is primarily a film for children and kids don't want to watch the kind of subtle interaction and tender moments that Jean Cocteau depicted in his live action, adult-oriented 1946 "La Belle et la Bete."
I do think that Gaston is an anti-male character. Gaston is not just a bad guy. He's an indictment of traditional masculinity. But that's a whole 'nother essay.
I do wish we had had more time with The Beast generally. Dan Stevens is a very good looking man. I wanted more of him, both before and after transformation, and more of The Beast. But you can't have everything. For that, there's fan-fiction, and there's a lot of it on the web.
About the protests. LeFou casts yearning glances in Gaston's direction, and there is a very brief shot of him dancing with another male character. And … that's it. *All* the movie does is remind us that there are gay people among our friends, neighbors, and fairy tale characters. There is nothing graphic or inappropriate for children. In fact, most children won't even notice LeFou's orientation. I'm not even sure I would have, had I not read articles about protests before going to see the film.
Too many Christians are willing financially to support violent, misogynist, and graphic films, TV shows and video games. If you liked the violent movie "Logan," if you voted for a man who speaks about grabbing – ahem – if you laugh at contemptuous humor, and yet you protest this lovely film, you need something that this movie provides – a magical mirror. Not so you can see far away, but so you can see yourself.

- Latest News
- Hits: 1261
The sixth annual Junior Tour de Naperville, presented by Russell Martin, is coming to Commissioners Park on Saturday, Aug. 11.

Last August, my Bradford Pear tree lost a large limb, leaving the top weak and spindly. I called Handy Feller Tree Service, they came out promptly, gave me an estimate of $350 and told me it...
Had them out yesterday Lon and the crew did an amazing job removing one tree and trimming another. Very detail oriented would highly recommend
First time using this business; Lon was extremely professional. We had tree shaping done and some tree removal, price was very fair. Very well done. Job was completed as promised within time frame given at estimate. Impressed with how equipment is cared for. Very neat - not rag tag.
They have been trimming some trees of mine for the past 2 years. Always on time, and very professional. Highly recommend. Little odd to have to talk to a machine most of the time, but they always call back. That is the only reason I gave them a 4 instead of a 5.

Butterfly eyeshadow for Singaporeans
So I wanted to try (since I have all the freedom in the world, somewhat) butterfly eyeshadow colors eye make up next week, and as we know Google is our Best Friend. But Singaporeans are so judgmental, so there's somewhat an invisible line to toe?
Back to to the point. No creds for the photos because I'm writing this entry from my phone, and they're all from Google.
There you have it! Two possible looks to wear in Singapore!
blog update! :)
yay, the problem is I didn't use the eyeshadow primer :X
But this combination uses dark blue to frame The Eye liner (Eyeliner game strong), light blue shimmer on the outer creases of the lids, and yellowish shimmer on the inner lid. Probably for tanner skin should have used stronger colors to make it pop. Sad :(
Cheers to another day, and another try at butterfly eyes. <3

If you're like many Prevention readers, multivitamins have been a key part of your daily routine since... well, forever. As recently as 2002, no less an authority than the Journal of the American Medical Association recommended that "all adults take one multivitamin daily." We at Prevention have suggested them to you dozens of times over the years as well. And many doctors and nutritionists still urge a multivitamin to any "less-than-perfect eater" to compensate for dietary shortfalls.
But today, a tsunami of scientific data has resulted in a reversal in thinking among many experts in the health and nutrition community, including Miriam Nelson, PhD, director of the John Hancock Research Center on Physical Activity, Nutrition, and Obesity at Tufts University. "The multivitamin as insurance policy is an old wives' tale, and we need to debunk it," she says.
The sea change is supported by two massive studies. The first, a review of 63 randomized, controlled trials (the gold standard research method) on multivitamins, published by the Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality, found that multis did nothing to prevent cancer or heart disease in most populations (the exception being developing countries where nutritional deficiencies are widespread). In the second paper, published last year, scientists at the Fred Hutchinson Cancer Research Center followed 160,000 postmenopausal women for about 10 years. The researchers' conclusion: "Multivitamins failed to prevent cancer, heart disease, and all causes of death for all women. Whether the women were healthy eaters or ate very few fruits and vegetables, the results were the same," says the lead author, Marian Neuhouser, PhD.
Maybe you never expected your multi to prevent breast cancer or head off a heart attack. Maybe you just felt that taking one would make you healthier by boosting your immunity or energy level. But research on those benefits is equally discouraging, especially in specialized groups on which you'd expect them to have an impact. For instance, a British review of eight studies found no evidence that multis reduced infections in older adults. Another study found that the vitamins didn't improve fatigue among breast cancer patients undergoing radiation therapy. And inner-city schoolchildren who took a multi did not perform any better on tests or have fewer sick days than students who didn't take one.
"There is even a small body of evidence that may suggest harm from a multi," says David Katz, MD, MPH, director of the Prevention Research Center at Yale University School of Medicine. A 2010 study of Swedish women found that those who took multivitamins were 19% more likely to be diagnosed with breast cancer over a 10-year period than those who didn't. A 2007 paper in the Journal of the National Cancer Institute found that men who took multivitamins along with other supplements were at increased risk of prostate cancer. And other research has linked excessive folic acid intake to higher colon cancer risk in people who are predisposed. "In terms of a risk-benefit ratio," says Dr. Katz, "why would you accept even a tiny risk if you're not getting any benefit?"
Buyer beware
It still shocks people that the FDA doesn't regulate supplements, including vitamins, minerals, and herbs, the same way it does for drugs. Supplements don't have to go through any safety testing before they hit stores. Despite 2007 legislation that marginally increased the FDA's authority, health and safety critics say the FDA doesn't have enough resources to oversee the industry.
Some new bills proposed in Congress would give the FDA more oversight and enforcement muscle, but in the meantime, these aisles are truly buyer beware zones.
Protect yourself: Choose products with seals from quality-testing companies like United States Pharmacopeia (USP) or NSF. Supplement companies pay to have their products evaluated according to these more rigorous protocols, which check for contaminants and ensure products contain exactly what their labels say.
You can also subscribe to ConsumerLab.com, an independent testing organization, for reports on specific supplement groups, like omega-3s. Finally, don't take any supplements without talking with your doctor. Many interact with medications or can worsen health conditions.
So why were earlier researchers so wrong? One reason is that they were studying the wrong people. It's now well known that people who take vitamins tend to be some of the planet's healthiest to begin with. Researchers have shown that vitamin takers tend to be leaner, more affluent, and more educated. They drink and smoke less; they exercise and go to the doctor more. In other words, they're healthy despite their use of multis.
12 Myths about breast cancer you should ignore.
In addition, the very concept of a multivitamin as nutrient delivery system is limited. We now have a much better understanding of how well whole foods deliver their nutritional benefits. A typical multi contains 10 to 25 isolated nutrients, but fruits and vegetables have hundreds of active compounds with a long list of health properties. "The vitamin C in a multivitamin is likely just not as effective as the vitamin C in a citrus fruit, where it's also surrounded by fiber and flavonoids and carotenoids. All these nutrients working together is what really keeps you healthy," explains Dr. Neuhouser.
So even when you're not eating the healthiest diet, there's no proof that a multivitamin is the right tool to fill in the gaps. "And it doesn't make up for the main disease-fighting nutrients the average American woman is missing, like fiber, omega-3s, and vitamin D," says Dr. Katz.

More women opting for preventive mastectomy - but should they be?
Rates of women who are opting for preventive mastectomies, such as Angeline Jolie, have increased by an estimated 50 percent in recent years, experts say. But many doctors are puzzled because the operation doesn't carry a 100 percent guarantee, it's major surgery -- and women have other options, from a once-a-day pill to careful monitoring.

For his part, Dr. Katz no longer recommends multis to most of his patients, nor does he take them himself. Neither does Kathleen Fairfield, MD, associate chief of medicine at Maine Medical Center and coauthor of the 2002 JAMA article that recommended multivitamins as a prudent health measure. Many Prevention advisors who specialize in cancer or nutrition research recently told us they've stopped taking and recommending multis as well.
Story: You're Eating More Vitamins Than You Think
So should you quit cold turkey? It's true that the average American woman—whether a healthy eater or not—probably won't benefit from a multivitamin. But the supplements are still recommended for certain groups, based on eating habits or lifestyle. And most women do still need a few strategic supplements to make up for certain dietary gaps.
To help with your decision, Prevention interviewed more than 10 nutritionists, doctors, and supplement experts and examined USDA, FDA, and other government data. The chart below reveals how their advice applies to you.
If you are... And your daily diet includes these foods... Do you still need a multivitamin? ... Prevention recommends these supplements
1. 50 years old or younger
Vegetables: 2 ½ c
Fruits: 1 ½ c
Milk/dairy: 3 c
Meat/beans: 5 oz
Grains: 6 oz (half whole grains)
Vitamin D: Up to 800-1,000 IU daily (less if you live in a year-round warm climate and get 15 minutes of unblocked sun every day). Get it from a separate pill or with calcium.
Omega-3: Up to 1,000 mg daily if you don't reliably eat fish such as salmon 2 or 3 times a week.
Calcium: Up to 1,000 mg total from food and supplements. If you don't eat 3 servings of milk/dairy, take the equivalent in a supplement that contains vitamin D.
12 Minor changes that can boost your health instantly.
2. 51 years old or older
Vegetables: 2 c
Fruits: 1 ½ c
Milk/dairy: 3 c
Meat/beans: 5 oz
Grains: 5 oz (half whole grains)
No. But adults over 50 may absorb less of certain nutrients, such as vitamin B12, from food. If you don't eat a lot of dairy or meat, talk with your doctor about B12 supplements.
Vitamin D: Up to 800-1,000 IU daily (less if you live in a year-round warm climate and get 15 minutes of unblocked sun every day). Get it from a separate pill or with calcium.
Omega-3: Up to 1,000 mg daily if you don't reliably eat fish like salmon 2 or 3 times a week.
Calcium: Up to 1,200 mg total from food and supplements. If you don't eat 3 servings of milk/dairy, take the equivalent in a supplement that contains vitamin D.
Vitamin B12: 25-50 mcg if your doctor recommends it.
The best supplements for women.
3. Pregnant
Vegetables: 2 ½-3 c
Fruits: 1 ½-2 c
Milk/dairy: 3 c
Meat/beans: 5-6 ½ oz
Grains: 6-8 oz (half whole grains)
Yes. During pregnancy, requirements increase slightly for a number of nutrients, including vitamin C, folic acid and other B vitamins, and iron. Choose a prenatal formula with at least 600 mcg folic acid and 27 mg iron, or ask your doctor to prescribe one.
Ask your doctor whether you should take an extra vitamin D, omega-3 (some Rx prenatal vitamins contain omega-3s), calcium, or iron supplement. Never take an iron supplement unless your doctor specifically recommends it. (If you're not anemic, too much iron can be harmful.)
4. Vegetarian (You don't eat meat, poultry, or fish.)
Same as #1 if you're 50 or younger; same as #2 if you're 51 or older. Eat the meat equivalent in beans, legumes, and nuts.
No. As long as you eat dairy and plant-based protein and leafy greens, you're getting a wide variety of nutrients. If not, ask your doctor whether a multi is recommended.
Same as #1 or #2 depending on your age. Buy a plant-based omega-3 supplement.
5. Vegan (You don't eat any animal products, including dairy or eggs.)
Same as #4. Milk/dairy servings convert to plant-based fortified milks.
Yes. It can be challenging to get nutrients such as vitamin B12, calcium, and iron from a vegan diet.
Vitamin D: Up to 800-1,000 IU daily, including the amount in your multi. Get the rest from a pill with calcium, below.
Omega-3: Up to 1,000 mg daily. Buy a plant-based omega-3 supplement.
Calcium: Up to 1,000-1,200 mg total (depending on your age) from food and supplements, including the amount in your multi and in a combined D supplement.
6. Dieting (around 1,200 calories a day)
Vegetables: 2 c
Fruits: 1 c
Milk/dairy: 2 c
Meat/beans: 4 oz
Grains: 4 oz (half whole grains)
Yes. Such a restrictive diet makes it difficult to get optimal vitamin and mineral levels.
Vitamin D: Up to 800-1,000 IU daily, including the amount in your multi. Get the rest from a pill with calcium, below.
Omega-3: Up to 1,000 mg daily if you don't reliably eat fish like salmon 2 or 3 times a week.

Two ingredients and mighty tasty. You know that thing where you go out to dinner at a great Vegas steakhouse (in this case, Brand at Monte Carlo) and they give you a whole, fresh batch of Parker House rolls to take home with your leftovers? Yeah, well, it's cool when that happens.

Jane Campion is a hugger. The Oscar winner, who punctuates every other sentence with a loud, earthy laugh, is so into physical affection that she won't let a reporter from Variety leave an interview without dragging him onto a couch to snuggle with her and her "Top of the Lake: China Girl" co-director Ariel Kleiman. It's definitely an unusual way to end a grilling by the press, but Campion claims this kind of emotional openness is one of the things that separates female filmmakers from their male counterparts.
"There's a different ethos," she says. "We're always cuddling and carrying on. I was with Andrea Arnold last night and we were cuddling. Then Uma (Thurman) came along and we were all cuddling."
Not that "China Girl" should be mistaken for something light and fluffy. It's a hard-edged mystery that delves into the world of sex trafficking, prostitution, and illegal surrogacy. It follows Det. Robin Griffin (Elisabeth Moss) as she tries to figure out who murdered a sex worker and stuffed her body in a suitcase. Warm and cuddly, it decidedly is not.
Campion and her collaborators believe that the two seasons differ thematically. "Top of the Lake" was about a commune of women who set up camp in a town dominated by men, whereas Season 2 is about motherhood and parenting. As she tries to solve the mystery, Griffin is also grappling with the guilt she feels over giving up her daughter for adoption.
"The first series was about the matriarchy versus the patriarchy," Campion said. "This one's more internal and maternal. Guys go to war, women have this drive to have babies. Very often they are dealing with death. Miscarriages are common and quite private, really. There are dramas that go on in every woman's life that not many people know about."
The second season of the award-winning series had its premiere at this year's Cannes Film Festival, earning raves and a standing ovation, but also some pearl-clutching from traditionalists upset that television has invaded an event for cinephiles. "China Girl" isn't the only series getting the red carpet treatment. Showtime's "Twin Peaks" revival is also screening at Cannes. "China Girl" will air on Sundance, but Campion maintains it's not a television show in the purest sense.
There are very sequences of Griffin interviewing suspects or piecing together clues. The series plays more like a tone poem than a posher version of "Law & Order."
"I'm not interested at all in procedural police work," Campion said. "I'm interested in how the themes of the story weave together."
It was this interest in creating an atmosphere of loss and foreboding and that led Campion to tap Kleiman ("Partisan") as her co-director.
"I really connected to these characters," Kleiman said. "Jane and I are tonally driven filmmakers."
Campion has been a barrier-breaker throughout her career, becoming the second woman to earn a best director nomination and having the dubious distinction of being the first (and, so far, only) woman to win the Palme d'Or. Both honors were for her work on 1993's "The Piano." When told she's an icon, she laughs, quipping that it means people are just saying, "she's still doing this!" But she acknowledges that not much has changed since "The Piano" landed on screens. Women comprised just 7% of all directors working on the 250 highest-grossing domestic releases in 2016, a decline of two percentage points from the previous year. Moreover, only two other women, Sofia Coppola and Kathryn Bigelow (who won), have nabbed directing Academy Awards nominations since Campion broke into the club.
"We're a long way from really understanding the female experience of being in the world," Campion said. "There's not enough female storytellers out there. We've been brainwashed a bit by the patriarchal experience of the whole way of being in the world."
Campion says she's been approachd by Maren Ade, the director of "Toni Erdmann," about starting a "wonder woman" film school with other prominent female filmmakers. It's an idea she thinks has promise.
"It's all about turn your aprons into capes," Campion said. "If all of us ladies that have done something strong and good got together, I think it would give the issue some focus."

Late last night I got an email that boggled my mind, in a good way.
It came from a young man named Kazuki Kinoshita. Kazuki is currently living amidst the devastation in Japan after the earthquake last Friday. I've heard the stories and watched the videos, but one thing I didn't consider was that many of the businesses were wiped out as well.
That means people don't have jobs or any way to make money.
Kazuki mentioned in his email that all they have are their mobile phones and internet is limited. They need to make money quickly so they don't have time to learn new skills. Then he asked, "How will you make money if you are in the same situation as them?"
So this morning I asked my Facebook friends what they would do, and I think we have some solid ideas for how the Japanese can make money today. Kazuki, I hope this at least gets your gears turning.
What you can't do…
Whenever someone asks me how they can make quick cash, I tell them to provide a service for someone they know. But that's not really an option for you or anyone else in Japan. I imagine the government and foreign aid programs are paying people for cleanup, but I'm sure those jobs are in high-demand.
So, a simple service isn't the best idea for your situation.
You also asked about somehow documenting your experiences (photos, videos, eBook) and selling that, but that's a fair amount of work and there's no guarantee that you'd get paid. There are so many reporters and journalists there now that global media isn't starved for content. Then taking the time to write an eBook without knowing exactly how to sell it is risky.
There's a chance it could spread across the internet, but it's a small chance.
What you should do…
Providing a service is still the best way to make guaranteed money quickly. With that said, my friends Kerwin McKenzie and Allen Duck both recommended offering Japanese translation services.
Really, any service that you can provide digitally to someone abroad is the way to go. That might be transcription, graphic design, web development, data entry, or even small tasks like clearing someone's email for them (as King Sidharth suggested).
Here's how to do it…
You'll find plenty of freelance and odd-ball jobs on the best freelance sites.
- Elance – It's the biggest freelance job posting site in the world. When I searched, "Japanese Translation" I found 11 active jobs.
- oDesk – oDesk is a growing site for outsourcing jobs. Here I found 50 active jobs for "Japanese Translation."
- Freelancer – I found 8 more active jobs here.
- Fiverr and Cashcrate – Both of these sites pay you small amounts of money to do small things. But my friend Eddys Velasquez said it takes 3-4 weeks before you get paid.
In addition to the translation jobs, you'll find over 50,000 other jobs that people have posted right now.
I'm not sure about how long it takes to get paid from those sites. If you find that it's too long, find another service that you can provide to someone who has money to pay you today.
Let us know how we can help…
This may not be the answer you were looking for or even something that possible considering you're situation. But I hope we at least opened some doors for you or inspired you to think about entrepreneurship in a new light.
Kazuki, thank you for reaching out to me and I hope this helps. I'm honored to have an opportunity to make a small impact on what's going on in Japan.
If you guys have any other ideas for what they can do, leave them in the comments below. Kazuki is going to spread this post to other people in Japan who are desperate for your ideas. Thanks!

"Your vision will become clear only when you can look into your own heart" - Carl Jung
I don't have a vision lately, a focus, a goal. Trying to find one! I took a bunch of jewelry tags and attached them to cover the entire page. Then used acryllic paints to show details. I filled the heart with some recipe pages from my great grandma. I tried to use gel medium to transfer the quote, it didn't work too well. It was supposed to be clear. But it ended up having a white tint...so I just put more white paint/gesso down to make it more obvious. Black outlines with India Ink. I'd like to find inda ink in more colors...probably have to order online.

Dashing Santa smells citrussy, zingy and uplifting and he'll be dashing around your bath like a good thing as soon as you plop him into the water!
The Holly Golightly bubble bar just makes me happy with the amount of glitter it has! Yes, it will get everywhere and yes, it'll be a pain to clean your bath afterwards but look at it... You can get a couple of baths out of this and it smells warm and spicy. I can't wait to try this one.
The Drummers Drumming reusable bubble bar is so cute and bright and will be a winner if you like uplifting scents with it's bergamot notes. I much prefer this scent to the Magic Wand bubble bar and you need to go investigate it!
It's glitter glare with the Star Light, Star Bright silver bath melt that leave your skin feeling so soft (albeit covered it glitter, but it's Christmas so you can get away with that). And please take a look at the Snow Angel Bath Melt.
Equally glittery, fans of marzipan scents will love this and it has cocoa butter which will leave your skin feeling soft as a snow angel.
I'm not one for soaps really but this one, Yog Nog, smells incredible! Yes, I might have wanted to lick it to see if it tasted like it's caramel scent and no, I didn't actually do it. Joanne stopped me thank God but I think I want some of this to just sit and smell because it smells like a festive Starbucks drink. The end. It's fab.
As always, Lush have Christmas gifts sorted this year, with pre wrapped goodies for every budget. If you're looking for a stocking stuffer or secret Santa present, then head in and try to pick just one thing out, but don't be afraid if you see something for yourself too... You're totally allowed to treat yourself. Fact.
I have a million photos of every Christmas treat that Lush has this year, but do yourself a favour, head in yourself and watch some of the products in action, give everything a sniff, cover yourself in glitter and go shopping!
What's your favourite Christmas Lush product? I think mine has to be the Christmas Eve bubble bar because the scent of jasmine can knock me out like nothing else. Oh and a special mention has to go to the Golden Wonder bath bomb because it's the gift that keeps on giving!

The Dallas Mavericks and Detroit Pistons were tied with seconds to go in the Orlando Pro Summer League championship game. The Pistons inbounded, but Luis Montero stopped anyone from getting a good look inside. Dwight Buycks ended up with the ball with just seconds to play. He looked up court. A summer league championship was free and clear!
Unfortunately, Mavericks coach Mike Weinar had called timeout. Dallas didn't score on its final regulation possession, so the game would head to overtime, where, fortunately for them, Johnathan Motley broke an 81-all tie with a last-second jumper and the Mavs won anyway.

HERSHEY, Pa., November 8, 2019 – Hershey Area Playhouse has announced an exciting schedule of theater for its 2020 season.
The Playhouse will kick off its 2020 season with Love, Loss and What I Wore on February 13-16 and 20-23. The play, written by Nora and Delia Ephron and based on Ilene Beckerman's 1995 book of the same name, consists of monologues and ensemble pieces about women, clothes and memory covering all the important subjects—mothers, prom dresses, buying bras, hating purses and why women only wear black. The show, directed by Jennifer Feldser, is a great alternative to the usual February romantic fare, whether for ladies' night or for mothers and daughters to share.
Next up is The Unforgettable Big Band, on May 8 and 9. Directed by Lindy Mack, the tribute to Les Brown and Doris Day means two amazing nights of big band music.
Also in May, When We Were Young and Unafraid, directed by Michael Ritter, will take the Playhouse stage from May 14-17. Set in the early 1970s, Agnes has turned her quiet bed and breakfast into one of the few spots where victims of domestic violence can seek refuge. As the drums of a feminist revolution grow louder outside of Agnes's tiny world, Agnes is forced to confront her own presumptions about the women she's spent her life trying to help.
Set in the late 1980s, Rock of Ages, directed by Jasmine Bucher, will rock the Playhouse from July 16-19 and 23-26. Aqua Net, Lycra, lace, and liquor flow freely at one of the Sunset Strips last legendary venues. But the rock and roll fairy-tale is about to end when developers sweep into town with plans to turn the fabled Strip into just another capitalist strip mall. Can the rock n roll gang save the strip–and themselves–before it's too late? Only the music of hit bands Styx, Journey, Bon Jovi, Whitesnake, and more hold the answer.
The fall show, You Can't Take It With You, is set for October 1-4 and 8-11. This Pulitzer Prize-winning show, directed by Larry Sheaf, focuses on the unusual Sycamore family. At first the Sycamores seem mad, but it is not long before we realize that if they are mad, the rest of the world is madder.
Rounding out the Playhouse's anniversary season will be the Christmas show, A Gift to Remember, with performances December 3-6 and 10-13. Directed by Lois Heagy and based on the Debbie Macomber novel Can This Be Christmas?, this heartwarming story takes place on Christmas Eve, during a snowstorm, where a group of strangers get stranded on a train due to the weather. They take shelter in a small depot in New Hampshire. Understandably disappointed and dispirited, they try to make the best of things with little success at first but eventually coming to understand the true spirit of Christmas.
All performances will take place at Hershey Area Playhouse, 830 Cherry Drive, Hershey, Pa. Discounted season tickets are available by purchasing at least four shows; individual tickets are also available. Dark Night Series tickets are not included in season tickets. For tickets and more information, please visit www.HersheyAreaPlayhouse.com.

Jag Health and Wellness Day
The Student Health Center's Jag Health and Wellness Day (JHWD) is an annual event that is designed to encourage students to live a healthy lifestyle, to become more involved in their healthcare and to "Be Jag Healthy." JHWD takes place during the fall semester of each academic year, and all of our students are invited to participate. Students receive free physicals, health screenings, a tour of the clinic, learn about health insurance and immunizations, as well as meet the experienced Student Health staff. In addition, students receive t-shirts, prizes and food during their visit in the department.
The Jag Tran provides continuous shuttles, throughout the day, for students who need transportation. Students are shuttled from the Dining Hall (near Residence Hall).
Student Health collaborates with various University and community partners to make this event a success every year. Collaborative partners for this event include LabCorp, Aramark-USA Dining Services, Athletics, College of Nursing, Counseling and Testing Services, Faculty Senate, Internal Medicine, Jag Tran, Pat Capps Covey College of Allied Health Professionals, Housing and Residence Life, Student Recreation Center and Student Affairs.

NGC and PMG Are Here for You >
The NGC Universal ID is a four digit alphanumeric that groups coins based on a unique combination of date, mintmark, denomination and striking process (MS, PF, or SP). These IDs are a simple organization of all coins prior to variety attribution and grading.
Several well-known gold rarities were produced at the Philadelphia mint in 1875 and, among non-gold issues, the Trade dollar from this year is certainly the most difficult to acquire. A relatively small population out of the modest mintage of 218,200 coins has been spared from melting or impairment (cleaning, chopmarks, etc.), and a few dozen mint state pieces apparently survived, including a handful of very choice examples.

Why Buy a Lifetime Boat Lift?
Aren't all boat lifts pretty much the same?
While all boat lifts will lift your boat, as in any product, there are also features, safety factors and other considerations that give you the full picture of what you are purchasing for your investment. It is prudent to research the products before deciding on your purchase. The boat lift components (top beams, bottom beams, cables, bolts and bunks) differ in size and the power hoisting systems vary greatly.
The most obvious choice difference begins with choosing between a galvanized or an aluminum boat lift. The galvanized lifts generally have a one year warranty. When the beams and components rust it is very difficult to disassemble them for repairs. Once the lift rusts extensively, it is impractical to repair.
All LBL boat lifts are constructed from marine grade aluminum and have a 10 year structural warranty.
Compare our components:
- Top Beams – 7″ to 10″ (Upgradeable)
- Bottom Beams – 5″, 6″, 8″, 10″ 12″
- Cable Winders – 3 1/2″ O.D. Marine Aluminum
- Drive Pipe – 2 3/8″ O.D. Galvanized or Stainless Steel
- Cables – 5/16″ min. Stainless Steel
- Piling Brackets – 3/8″ Thick Marine Aluminum with 1/2″ SS Bolts
- Grease Fittings – Stainless Steel
- Bolts – 1/2″, 5/8″ and 3/4″ all Stainless Steel
- PVC Guide Poles – 3 1/2″ O.D. X 10' Long Schedule 80 (Heavy Wall)
- Bunks – All Marine Aluminum
- LBL uses a bottom beam bracket assembly that utilizes the entire bottom beam structure to lift your boat instead of only using the top flange)
