Brain cancer is doubly difficult to treat as most chemotherapeutics are cytotoxic and uptake to the tumor is poor due to the blood-brain-barrier. Recently, researchers at Yantai University (China) used PLGA-PEG-Mal (Polyvivo AI020) from PolySciTech (www.polyscitech.com) to generate targeted nanoparticles for treating glioma. This research holds promise for improved therapy of brain cancer. Read more: Hua, Hongchen, Xuemei Zhang, Hongjie Mu, Qingqing Meng, Ying Jiang, Yiyun Wang, Xiaoyan Lu et al. "RVG29-modified Docetaxel-loaded nanoparticles for brain-targeted glioma therapy." International Journal of Pharmaceutics (2018). https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S0378517318301753
"Abstract: Gliomas are the most common malignant brain tumor, but treatment is limited by the blood–brain barrier (BBB), especially for chemotherapeutic drugs. Although some chemotherapy drugs can pass through the BBB, many of these agents are toxic to normal brain tissue. To maximize therapeutic effects, chemotherapeutic drugs must accumulate at the glioma site. In this study, a specific ligand (the RVG29 peptide) that can combine with acetylcholine receptors was conjugated to polyethylene glycol-modified poly-(D,L-lactide-co-glycolide) (PEG-PLGA) to develop a targeted carrier; preparation of the targeted docetaxel nanoparticles (DTX-NPs) was performed by the nanoprecipitation method. The NPs were approximately 110 nm and had smooth surfaces. Enzyme-linked immunoassay results showed that the amount of receptor on the surface of glioma cells was 2.04-fold higher than that of nonmalignant cells, which may promote accumulation of RVG29-modified NPs at the targeting site. NPs showed targeting properties for glioma cells compared with the non-targeting NPs in an in vitro cellular uptake test. Targeted NPs also showed better BBB penetration in an in vitro model. In vivo tests indicated that RVG29-PEG-PLGA-NPs could selectively accumulate in intracranial glioma tissue. In conclusion, these results indicated that the RVG29-modified NPs have potential efficacy for glioma therapy. Keywords: Brain-targeting; glioma; RVG29; blood–brain barrier; Docetaxel"

Whether you hire knowledgeable designer or not, before starting a kitchen remodel it is crucial to develop a design plan to comply with. This fashion, you do not have to install more cupboards right into a small kitchen and lose space. Your kitchen remodel should not be about the instruments, however the design and functionality of the whole kitchen. There's no one-measurement-matches-all ROI for kitchen remodeling. For these after customized vary hoods, then plan for the $2,000 and $8,000 range.
Finances needs to be a home-owner's primary concern when planning a reworked kitchen. Renovating your kitchen can get expensive very quickly, particularly in case you have dreams of customized cupboards, quartz counters and spacious islands. On an average remodel, plumbing costs are about the identical at $800.
I'm a contractor which receives HA leads, most people don't even read the articals a lot less spend the time to find out the actual challenge prices in our space and are shocked to find out the actual prices that are of their attainable funding ball parks.
Preliminary consultations with workers designers are typically about two hours and finished by appointment, with company inspired to do as much in advance as attainable, together with a phone dialog with the designer and sending any detailed data such as dimensions or floor plans, authentic blueprints you probably have them, photos of present bogs and kitchens, and new components you want from residence design websites like Houzz.
You can too get a better warranty with custom cupboards. As a way to minimize the danger of a kitchen transforming journey turning into a disturbing experience you by no means wish to relive; it is very important do some fundamental homework earlier than the challenge is begun.

Police have set up a mobile facility in a Melbourne suburb as part of ongoing patrols following a "youth gang fight" between two Sudanese groups earlier this month.
Officers will be based near Lonzo Park in Taylors Hill between 3pm and 7pm and are encouraging locals to drop by and voice any concerns.
On August 8, the two groups of about 20 to 30 people met at a local shopping centre, where the fight over 'girlfriends' broke out.
A number of projectiles believed to be rocks were thrown before police moved in on the youths as they fled on public transport.
A large-scale police response unit was called, including the Operations Response Unit and the Public Order Response Team.
Roads were also blocked and residents told to stay inside as the groups were dispersed.
The Crime Investigation Unit has since spoken to a range of people as part of investigations into the incident, including residents, schools and community leaders.
North West Metro Region Commander Tim Hansen said the group were primarily school-aged youths and included a significant number of females.
"It is clear that people were fearful of the youths' activities on the night, which is why we have committed significant time and resources into our investigation," Commander Hansen said.
"As part of our inquiries, we have spoken to two persons of interest and also identified a number of causal factors that contributed to what occurred in Taylors Hill and these have been incorporated into what has become a complex, ongoing investigation.
"Police have also widely canvassed the Taylors Hill area, speaking to residents to review initial complaints of brawls and damage to bus shelters in the area.
"We have not identified any people who directly witnessed these incidents or in a position to provide a statement that we can verify."
Apart from the damage to a police vehicle on the night, there were no further issues, injuries or threats to community safety in the area.
The community is being assured that police in the area are well-resourced and prepared to respond to any issues that may arise.
No-one has been charged over the incident.

Lucas di Grassi says that he is going for the win this weekend at the Buenos Aires ePrix.
The Brazilian has had a strong start to the season, and is currently in second place in the driver's championship.
However his Abt Schaeffler Audi has looked comfortably off the pace of the Renault e.dams, with Sebastien Buemi currently having won both races so far and holding a 22 point lead over di Grassi.
Despite this de Grassi is unequivocal about what his goals are for this weekend, and is confident that the work the team has put in over the break in the calendar has benefitted the car.
"The goal is clear: we want to go for the win in Buenos Aires and get as many points as possible," di Grassi said.
"The circuit should suit our car well, and our engineers have not only rested in the winter break, but have developed many details as well.
"Buenos Aires is something of a home race for me. So I'm looking forward to a lot of support from family friends and, of course, our fans."
Abt's Sports Director Thomas Biermaier was also optimistic about the team's ability to make gains over the winter, and despite Formula E rules meaning much of the car is homologated, he said they had been concentrating on developing the car's software.
"The Formula E regulations don't leave much room for changes, since the entire hardware is homologated and therefore fixed," Biermaier said.
"With the software it's different, so detailed work and improvements are always possible. For all teams, Buenos Aires is like a new season start after the long break.
"This means we have to manage all the processes and procedures perfectly again and crack on."

Tips for Visiting Disney with Little Kids
Visiting Disney World for the first time is such a magical experience for small children. They get so excited to see their favorite characters and go on fun rides with mom and dad. However, it can also be overwhelming with the heat and all of the people. If you're not prepared, it can end in a complete disaster. To make the experience the best it can be for your little ones, try following some of these tips for your trip to Disney World (including renting a vacation home near Disney!):
Choose the right time of year
If you can, try to avoid the crazy summer crowds that can be really overwhelming and even scary for young kids. Go during a time when most kids are in school like the winter and you will also get to experience some fun holiday festivities.
Bring changes of clothing
Kids can be cold in the morning and then hot later on so you'll want them to dress in layers. It's always a good idea to bring an extra set of clothes in case of an accident or if kids get wet on a ride and want to change out of wet clothes.
Security tag
With such large crowds, it can be really easy for little ones to wander off and get lost. Make a security tag with their name and your cell phone number on it to sew inside their clothes or put in their pocket just in case they get separated from you.
Buy souvenirs before the trip
This may sound silly but you can save a lot of money by buying Disney toys from a dollar store or party store and bringing them with you on the trip to give to your kids as souvenirs rather than buying overpriced merchandise in the gift shops. Your kids will never know the difference!
Bring a stroller
Even if your child has outgrown the stroller bring one anyway because they will get tired of walking but will be too heavy for you to carry around. Plus you can use the storage space to hold snacks, water, and souvenirs.
Plan for naps
If your kids are used to taking naps, don't skip them! Get an early start at the parks in the morning, go back to your hotel or vacation home rental in Orlando, Florida near Disney in the afternoon for a nap to recharge, and then you can head back to the parks again afterwards feeling refreshed and energized.
Comfy shoes
Even if your kids will be in a stroller, have comfy shoes for them anyway. Don't buy them new shoes to wear for the first time at the park – make sure they are broken in before the trip. Comfy shoes are key for walking around and standing in line for many days.
Don't forget to pack your own snacks for the trip! Your kids will get hungry from all the walking around and Disney food can be expensive. Bring fruit, crackers, cereal and then go ahead and buy a popsicle during the hottest part of the day so your kids can cool down.

The kidneys filter the blood and aid get rid of wastes and extra fluid from the body. The kidneys also assist manage the body's chemical balance.
The kidneys are part of the urinary system, which likewise consists of the ureters, bladder, and urethra.
Muscle changes and changes in the reproductive system can affect bladder control.
Kidney Disease in Older Adults
As you age, your kidneys and bladder modification. This can impact their function.
Modifications in the kidneys that occur with age:
- Quantity of kidney tissue decreases.
- Variety of filtering systems (nephrons) decreases. Nephrons filter waste material from the blood.
- Blood vessels supplying the kidneys can end up being hardened. This causes the kidneys to filter blood more gradually.
Modifications in the bladder:
- The bladder wall modifications. The elastic tissue ends up being difficult and the bladder becomes less stretchy. The bladder can not hold as much urine as before.
- The bladder muscles weaken.
- The urethra can end up being obstructed. In women, this can be due to weakened muscles that cause the bladder or vagina to fall out of position (prolapse). In men, the urethra can become obstructed by a bigger prostate gland.
In a healthy aging individual, kidney function remains normal. But disease, medications, and other conditions can affect kidney function.
Also read: Prolapsed (Fallen) Bladder: Causes, Symptoms and Treatment
Aging increases the risk of kidney and bladder issues such as:
- Bladder control issues, such as leakage or urinary incontinence (not being able to hold your urine), or urinary retention (not having the ability to totally empty your bladder)
- Bladder and other urinary tract infections (UTIs)
- Chronic kidney disease
Also read: Urinary Tract Infections During Pregnancy
Call your healthcare company right away if you have any of the following:
- Signs of a urinary tract infection, including fever or chills, burning when urinating, nausea and vomiting, extreme exhaustion, or low back pain
- Very dark urine or fresh blood in the urine
- Difficulty urinating
- Urinating regularly than usual
- Unexpected have to urinate (urinary urgency)
As you get older, you will have other modifications, including:
- In the bones, muscles, and joints
- In the male reproductive system

When interviewing a job candidate for his/her technical skills in Excel, most interviewers ask, "Can you do a VLOOKUP?" One more skill set that they should be asking for is "Do you know how to do nested logic?" With these skill sets, an analyst can do amazing things with Excel. In this course, we will go over examples of each of these skill sets, as well as introduce you to spinner buttons. Spinner buttons are rarely used but are very easy to set up and use, particularly when you want to see immediate changes in your spreadsheet when changing variables. Even if you are not the one building these analyses, you should know of these capabilities in Excel.

Our concept is that anyone can learn the easy things, but the people that have exceptional skill sets are the ones that will shine. And to get such an exceptional skill set takes work -- a lot of work and study. We're not going to tell you that this course is so easy that a six-year old can do it. We've designed the courses that way to teach phenomenal skills, not just ordinary skills.

We discuss issues arising in fitting theoretically derived nonlinear models with complex coefficients to data from surface Second Harmonic Generation (SHG) experiments conducted at the air/liquid interface. We explore different parametrisations for the complex parameters and show that the Enter (magnitude and phase angle) parametrisation is preferable to the real and imaginary parts parametrisation, both theoretically and empirically. We emphasise the importance and value of diagnostic plots for evaluating the quality of model fit. We derive approximate standard errors for the parameter estimates and discuss issues of making inference about ratios of parameters. We consider approximate confidence intervals (using the approximate standard errors), profile likelihood intervals, Fieller's method and bootstrap intervals. Fieller's method (and the bootstrap intervals) provide useful information on the value of the simpler approximate confidence intervals. We also propose and implement a likelihood ratio test to assess whether a common model can be fitted to several independent data sets. Finally, the methods are applied to data sets obtained from SHG experiments on L-phenylalanine at the air/water interface and toluene.

Hands-On Preview: Mugen Souls
Mugen Souls may be a name you've never heard of, and I wouldn't blame you. I hadn't heard of it, either, until NIS America announced that they were bringing the game to the West. I received a preview copy a little bit ago and got a bit of a chance to play around in the first couple hours of the game.
As you'll first notice when you start up the game, it's done in a very vibrant anime style, reminiscent of other NISA titles like Disgaea. In fact, that same sense of humor pervades the game – at least the portion I've played so far – so if you're a fan of that, you'll definitely want to check this title out. What I wasn't prepared for, however, was how completely outrageous this game is – and I mean that in a good way. Outrageous characters, outrageous settings, outrageous vehicles, outrageous colors, outrageous dialog – you name it, everything about this game (that I've seen so far) is outrageous.
The game puts you in the shoes of a goddess, Chou Chou, who gets it into her head that she is going to travel to the seven worlds in the galaxy and make them all bow down to her and do her bidding. Simple enough premise, right? I mean, this chick is cray-zee, in the strongest sense of the word. She has some angels to help her, as well, and they fit your standard anime archetypes. The idea is to go around creating peons in the form of these strange (and sort of creepy) bunny-like creatures that then go around doing Chou Chou's bidding, whatever that may be. I'm also quite sure PETA may have issues with how much she verbally abuses her bunny-creatures, but, then again, that's the fun of it, right?
The battles in Mugen Souls contain some of the most interesting mechanics I've ever seen in an RPG, most notably the "Moe Kill" system. The idea here is to turn enemies into these minions of yours, except to do this, you have to align Chou Chou's current mood or temperament with that of the enemy. If you do that correctly, the enemy gains affection with you and, eventually, transforms into a little creepy bunny rabbit thing. If you mess up, the enemy could become enraged, which makes them even more difficult to defeat and, of course, poses a larger threat to your party.
To travel around the universe, Chou Chou and her posse have a rather flamboyant ship called the G-Castle to fly around on, which seems to act as your home base and includes basic services – shopping, saving and the like. Part of the game also includes G-Castle battles, which are ship-to-ship battles vaguely reminiscent of the ones we all remember from Skies of Arcadia (you just got all hot and bothered, didn't you?). The first hour of the game walks you through both a ship battle and a ground battle, so you get the gist of all these mechanics – especially the rather complex "Moe Kill". But, after a few fights it isn't too hard to pick up the basics.
On a personal note, I think I had a smile (or at least a smirk) on my face the entire time I was playing the game to try it out. I'm not quite sure why, but just the characters and the general premise of the game are, once again, so outrageous that it just makes you smile. In addition to that, I had my wife sitting next to me while I was playing, and we passed each other rather awkward glances as a sequence played near the beginning of the game where Chou Chou announces she's going to take over all the things…via song. With fan service galore, we watched, our mouths probably hanging open, not sure quite what to say or what to expect next.
All I have to say after my initial experiences with this game is that I hope the rest of it is as outrageous as the first hour. If so, I'll be a very happy camper. It isn't every day a game comes along that just has fun with itself, and Mugen Souls seems to be a game that does just that. It's set to release exclusively on the PS3 in October, and we'll definitely have a full review for you closer to launch.

What are 3D virtual tours?
We create beautiful high-resolution presentations and 3D models of existing spaces by collating images and data captured on site using the Matterport cameras and platform. These 3D Virtual Tours work seamlessly across multiple devices (phones/tablets/desktop) and are compatible with most VR platforms. Each captured space gives the user the flexibility to move around the property to get an accurate reflection of what the place is actually like.
Here is a short example to give you a feel.
Who is this for?
This way of presenting survey data is ideal for architects, project managers, contractors and developers during a project to document key construction milestones, providing transparency throughout the process, whilst effectively communicating progress to all project stakeholders.
Additionally, 3D Virtual Tours can be commissioned when a project has been completed, to showcase the building and attract new clients. Designed for everyone the tours are perfect for embedding into a project page or digital marketing material or even uploading to Google Streetview.
Why Matterport?
Best online pharmacy for lisinopril have developed a market leading UI and platform to build and view the 3D Virtual tours. The tours look and feel better than typical 360 tours as a much larger number of camera placements are used in order to create the 3D data. The interface features multiple navigation points. Additional information and media can be embedded within the tours to highlight key points.
The Matterport camera records light and depth data to rapidly generate an accurate photo-realistic 3D scanned model of a space. The scans are created by moving the device to successive positions around a building, with each scan rotation taking under a minute.
When complete, the raw scan data is uploaded to the cloud and generates a 3D model, which can either be downloaded as a point cloud file (the same output as laser scanner) as a coloured texture map mesh file, or viewed in a web browser.
How is this different from other 3D scanning products?
This is a product designed to be viewed by the end user and was originally developed in the US for the Real Estate market. Which means incredibly easy to use, beautiful presentations that can be viewed by anyone with a decent internet connection. The tours are hosted on Amazon Web Services so there is zero downtime and the products are being continuously improved so old jobs can be added to.
How much do 3D Virtual Tours cost?
Let us know the details of your project including the survey extents. We will then contact you to discuss the specification of works and the purpose of your survey.
However, 3d Virtual Tours may not be the best solution to your measurement needs. Acheter orlistat pas cher for a no obligation chat.

In 1904 the giant naval base of Port Arthur is nearing completion as well as a revolutionary new transport route that will enable the evil Russian emperor to project power near Japan as never before. The rebellious Japanese decide they prefer to go down fighting rather than to give in, even though they have little hope: they aren't white, let alone European!
The result is a thrilling prequel to the First World War showcasing all the terrible industrial efficiency of modern weaponry on land and on sea.
After one and a half year of hard fighting the Japanese army and navy have won every battle. Two Russian fleets are resting in peace, the Japanese army has captured southern Manchuria including the base at Port Arthur and is poised to sever the transport route!
However: the costs of all these victories was higher in men and material than the rebel forces can allow! The Japanese army is exhausted after loosing ten of thousands of men and the navy is severely weakened. The Russian Empire may have lost more troops but they are only beginning to transfer their huge army to the East. The new transport route is finished and they are almost ready for the next round!
Can anyone help the Japanese rebel forces to overthrow the old order?
Not required.
The usual rules apply.

States woo California dairymen with less regulation – Yahoo! News
via news.yahoo.com
Dairy farmers flee California due to regulations? Great. Now they can release all the methane produced by their herds and feed GMO corn to the cattle. (No mention of pasturing their herds.) Nice. Thank you to all the dairy farmers who don't care about the environment or the quality of their dairy products. There is a cost for doing things the right way.

Club builds satellite to launch
Members collaborate by utilizing skill diversity, knowledge rather than relying solely on research
November 27, 2017
Cougs in Space received a grant from NASA last year and now focus their mechanical efforts on the launching of a space satellite. The satellite is set to launch sometime between May 2019 and 2020.
Last year, Cougs in Space applied for NASA's educational grant, allowing them some flexibility in creating a satellite not specifically meant for research purposes, said Cody Sigvartson, vice president and senior mechanical engineering major.
The educational grant also helped speed up the application process because the other option, a research grant, would require a detailed written plan for collected data, Sigvartson said.
"We're focused on building the satellite to NASA's standards and just launching something into space," Sigvartson said, "which would be huge for WSU."
Once the club received the grant, Sigvartson and President Kenneth Eversole divided the labor involved in many complex aspects of building a satellite. They split into six groups: systems, structure, thermal, control and communications, power, and one focused on satellite orientation, Sigvartson said.
Each "team," as Sigvartson referred to them, has a leader responsible for the group's tasks.
Members work on how the communication processing systems send and receive messages from other parts of the satellite once it is in space, Sigvartson said. Understanding the complex components of the satellite is vital to its stability.
Club member Alex Lambert, a junior mechanical engineering major, is a part of the thermal team and said space is a violent, radiation-heavy environment so the inside of the satellite has to remain completely stable.
"Our team learned a lot about how powerful radiation is," Lambert said, "and then we went from there to figure out what works as far as protection for the satellite."
The thermal team works alongside the other club teams to perfect the internal communication so when radiation does reach the satellite, they have a plan in place to combat it, Lambert said. This also highlights the importance of teamwork within the club.
Jared Strand, a junior majoring in computer science, is a systems team lead and said one of the largest challenges for them to overcome was accepting the skill diversity within the group.
"Everyone has different areas of strength," Strand said. "Since a lot of what we do is based on trial and error, micromanaging all those skill sets can be really stressful."
Planning for the satellite's launch also requires an intense utilization of available resources, especially when the club mostly uses knowledge at their disposal without relying on the internet, Strand said.
They have developed contacts within WSU's Department of Physics and Astronomy and even contacted a NASA official by the name of Matt Sorgenfrei, Strand said. This type of assistance will help them develop a plan for the project over time while paving an easier road for incoming members once seniors graduate.
"This project has been such a long time in the making, that all we want is to know it's up there, know that what we did actually worked," Sigvartson said. "If we could get even a picture from space back to earth, we would be stoked."
Cougs in Space meets at 5:30 p.m. every Wednesday in Spark, Room 223. They also hold occasional meetings on Sundays, as directed on their Facebook page.

New Latin American resto in Alabang transforms into a feisty bar at night
Chichario is by the people behind Lan Kwai bar in Katipunan
- Chichario
- South American
- Molito Lifestyle Center, Muntinlupa City
- 11 a.m. to 2 a.m.
- ₱P800 (for two)
- @chichariomnl
It's hard to miss Chichario, the new South American restaurant and cocktail bar, while walking around Molito Lifestyle Center in Alabang. Bursting in colors, it's sandwiched between the muted facades of The Perfect Pint and Ralph's Wine and Spirits. It's inviting, like it announces that you'll have a great time here—and owner Marco Baluyut, together with his partners (of Lan Kwai Speakeasy and Hong Kong Cuisine), ensure this.
The interior is interesting and is easily an Instagrammable space, giving off a strong Brazil vibe—the walls are adorned with murals, even the steps that lead to the bar upstairs are embellished à la Escadaria Selarón, the renowned steps in Rio de Janeiro.
The food, on the other hand, is as full of character as the interiors and boy, do they not skimp on spices and sauces. The restaurant's specialty is piri-piri chicken, a spicy dish that gets its kick from the chili peppers of the same name. They marinate the chicken in their homemade piri-piri rub for 24 hours before cooking it on a charcoal grill. A half-chicken can feed two to three persons.
For your beef fix, try chipotle baby ribs, their slow smoked baby back ribs, which is brined in South American spices and herbs, with smoky and sweet chipotle barbecue sauce. Another must-try is carne asada, their take on the smoked tender and flavorful hanger steak.
Can't leave a restaurant without feasting on rice? Try their filling breakfast paella topped with breakfast staples like a fried egg, chorizo, bacon, and fried banana slices.
They also have your usual bar chow, like cheese quesadilla (with cheddar and cilantro pesto sauce salsa inside) served with garlic aioli dip; a mountain of nachos with chipotle pulled pork, sour cream, cilantro salsa, mozzarella, and cheddar; and soft taco carnitas, with chipotle pulled pork, cilantro salsa, and garlic aioli dip as well.
And these dishes are best paired with Engkanto beer, which Chichario serves on tap (lager and double IPA), or their signature cocktails, Mojito de Janeiro and El Chichario. Their mojito is unlike the classic—it's made from house-made grilled pineapple infused rum, white rum, guyabano juice, and lime juice.
El Chichario, on the other hand, falls on the sweeter side of the cocktail spectrum. All we can say about it is that it's sweet and easily addicting (because Baluyut are being protective of their baby and we get it).
At night, the restaurant transforms into a bar (don't forget to go upstairs, too, where the bar and DJs are at, where all the fun is) and offers promos like Buy One Take One on tequila shots and other cocktails. On Saturdays, they have DJs to take care of the spunky night (attention, yuppies). To make sure what you're getting into if you plan to spend your late nights there, constantly check their social media pages.

One Nation Under Drugs – Why I Abandoned The Pharmaceutical Industry
As a medicinal chemist, I ignored my suspicion that an insidious and deliberate push to get each and every American hooked on drugs, while at the same time bankrupting them, existed between Big Pharma and the Food and Drug Administration (FDA). I enjoyed my work. Drug design paid well and kept me comfortably isolated in a high-tech lab, fully equipped to help me bend and twist matter at will. The last thing I wanted to think of was a plot designed to sabotage health and wealth—while causing untold ecological damage—using my chemistry skills. But over time, experience confirmed my suspicion as fact and revealed something even scarier.
Deadly Profiteering
My passion for drug design arose from the miracle of emergency medicine, one of humankind's greatest scientific achievements. Sadly though, medicine is no longer exclusive to emergency use. Today, outside of emergency medicine, it's being used in a deadly game of profiteering, as heavily documented in my latest book, Over-The-Counter Natural Cures. Herein lies a story of deceit and a chemist's abandonment of modern medicine.
My doubts about modern medicine began while I was employed by Eli Lilly to design a new generation of Hormone Replacement Therapy (HRT) drugs, a class which includes tamoxifen and raloxifene. Initially, they were thought to block estrogen receptors and thereby halt breast cancer. As time progressed, it was learned that they were also capable of activating estrogen receptors and boosting cancer growth. The Journal of the American Medical Association recognized this trend and published, "Our data add to the growing body of evidence that recent long-term use of HRT is associated with an increased risk of breast cancer and that such use may be related particularly to lobular tumors."
My task was made clear: Design HRT 'knock-offs' that are effective without causing cancer. My attempt to design safer alternatives began with small alterations to the two-dimensional structure of tamoxifen. It was unsuccessful. All chemical cousins acted as cancer fertilizer and after one year, the project was ended. Access to tamoxifen and other HRT meds however, was not. Despite its ability to inflame cancer, tamoxifen continued to be used as the Gold-Standard in breast cancer treatment. As a young naïve chemist, I was determined to learn how such a dangerous drug could get through the prestigious FDA approval process.
Checkbook Science
Tamoxifen was developed by British company Imperial Chemical Industries (ICI), whose pharmaceutical division was later spun off as Astra Zeneca. Knowing that "demand drives drug approval," ICI established—in partnership with the American Cancer Society–National Breast Cancer Awareness Month!
Fueled by fear, women worldwide began pushing for more choices in cancer drugs, and in Big Pharma language, that means more drug approvals. Tamoxifen demand was successfully created and expanded every subsequent year thanks to ICI's self-serving pink ribbon campaign. But, how did tamoxifen sail past the protective blood-brain barrier of the FDA? A quick lesson in statistical contortionism shows how.
Just like chemists manipulate the properties of matter, Big Pharma manipulates studies using "checkbook science." This allows them to pay for the design and interpretation of clinical trials. Tamoxifen studies were conveniently stopped at five years, the minimum amount of time required for cancer to develop. This successfully hid its cancer causing problem. But just like their pink campaigns, there's more stink.
In 1992, tamoxifen evangelist Dr. Bernard Fisher, working for the National Cancer Institute (NCI), received $68 million in federal money to assess whether the drug could prevent breast cancer. In an effort to make tamoxifen appear safe and effective, Fisher failed to report falsified data and enrollment fraud to the NCI, casting further stench over the study and resulting in his termination as director. The smoke and mirrors showed that tamoxifen reduced breast cancer by 50%. In reality, it was an insignificant 1.3% absolute difference.
Checkbook science isn't illegal by FDA standards. It's been going on for over 20 years. Known as the Bayh-Dole Act, US law was amended in 1980 to permit flagrant conflicts of interest, ones that allow the industry to design drug trials and hire experts to conjure up favorable results at will.
Once demand was created, and checkbook science in place, the FDA only needed one study to approve tamoxifen in record time–30 days. They did this by hiring advisors with Big Pharma financial ties to sit on its review committee. Failing to do their homework, only ten percent of the case reports from women enrolled in the tamoxifen trials were reviewed by the committee. But, most alarming to me as a chemist, it was still given a green light as a preventive cancer treatment for healthy women!
Aiming for wealth, not health, Big Pharma hit the financial bull's eye. As the Gold-Standard for breast cancer treatment today, generic tamoxifen rakes in billions every year with few noticing its "little cancer problem," as it became known in our lab.
Drug Lobbying – Buying the US Govt.
I thought I was getting paid well as a new drug chemist; I was driving a brand new PT Cruiser (which my wife hated), had $15,000 in stock options and was offered a $10,000 incentive to buy a new house. Heck, if I was really good, I would get a $4,500 dollar raise after a year, which equated to a weekly burrito at Chipotle, with guacamole (which is extra), Mountain Dew included. A closer look at the real drug profits however, revealed I wasn't even making pennies on the pharmaceutical dollar and neither were the biology researchers.
Obscene amounts of drug profits were going to the pharmaceutical titans, their shareholders—and even to the FDA. That's right, rather than being funded solely by taxpayers, our drug administration is being paid by the very industry it's supposed to regulate. This is legal—courtesy of the Prescription Drug User Fee Act. Today, the Center for Drug Evaluation and Research at the FDA is dependent on drug companies for nearly half of its funding.
Drug lobbying is another slimy practice that greases the "FDA revolving door," and blurs the line between the drug industry and the US government. According to a report by the Center for Public Integrity, congressmen are outnumbered two to one by lobbyists for the pharmaceutical industry. And many are later put onto the government payroll and vice versa. Total pharmaceutical lobbying in 2009 came to a whopping $267,893,947, enough to feed 502 million starving African children. Instead, it pays to grease the drug approval pipeline via 450 lobbying organizations, 1,743 lobbyists, and 1,113 revolvers (congress and senior congressional staffers who revolve in and out of the private and public sectors).
Medical Ghostwriting
Doctors can't keep up with safety and efficacy of tamoxifen or any other drugs being used today. But this hasn't changed their prescribing habits. Medical ghostwriting, the slimy practice of hiring PhD's to crank out drug reports that hype benefits and hide negative side effects, has successfully brainwashed most physicians into thinking that "the benefits of drugs outweigh risks."
Once completed, drug companies recruit doctors to put their names on the reports as authors. These reports are then published in respected medical journals. The dangling carrots for this deceitful practice are money and prestige. Ghostwriters earn up to $20,000 per report and doctors receive the acclaim of being published. Ultimately, patients get bad drugs disguised as good medicine resulting in carnage like the Vioxx™ body count–88,000 people died from taking "the safest pain killer," as it was lauded in ghost written articles.
As deplorable as medical ghost authoring sounds, it's more common than you might think. Dr. Jeffrey Drazen, editor for the New England Journal of Medicine, insists that he can't find drug review authors who don't have financial ties to drug companies. Dr. Richard Smith, the editor of the British Journal of Medicine admitted that, "We are being hoodwinked by the drug companies. The articles come in with doctors' names on them and we often find some of them have little or no idea about what they have written."
The Real Profits
Dealing drugs pays beyond most people's wildest dreams. Annual global drug profits, if stacked in cash, would occupy two thousand stacks of bills, each one as high as the Empire State Building. In 2009, global revenues from prescription drugs topped $837 billion, and the United States took the largest bite out of the pharmaceutical pie, consuming $300.3 billion in prescriptions. Big Pharma, with the collusion of the FDA, is now half way to its goal of marketing the entire country into drug dependence. According to a government survey released in 2010, 150 million Americans are taking one or more prescription drugs per month, with 37 percent of those over 60 years old taking five or more.
If John Galt—the noble, fictional scientist in Ayn Rand's novel, Atlas Shrugged —symbolizes the power and glory of the human mind, FDA approval is his biggest threat. Sloppy FDA standards have created a corporate drug leviathan that is robbing every man, woman and child in its path of life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness. This profit-pulling monster has no checks or balances, which makes it almost impossible to fight and scary as hell to witness through the eyes of a chemist.
In most cities, there are more pharmacies than there are Starbucks. Drugs are being dished out like vitamins. Women, adorned in pink ribbons, are asking for tamoxifen by name thanks to cancer "awareness campaigns" founded by the drug's maker. Men are being herded into taking cholesterol lowering drugs that are proven ineffective and cancerous. Children as well as our military troops are being erroneously labeled with psychiatric disorders so our tax dollars can get them hooked on drugs even faster. Athletes are being poisoned with drugs disguised as artificial sweeteners like aspartame and sucralose courtesy of energy drinks and sport bars. And soccer moms are unknowingly compromising the health of their families by buying synthetic drugs disguised as "multivitamins." And all of this is occurring under the "watchful" eye of the FDA.
The Environmental Impact
Even those of us not seduced by ubiquitous media drug advertisements or misled by doctors who over-prescribe medications are at risk of exposure to dangerous pharmaceuticals. Just as non-smokers can have their health impaired by second-hand smoke, so too can non drug users be negatively impacted by "second-hand drugs." And it all happens silently and invisibly through our drinking water.
A 2008 Associated Press investigation discovered that the drinking water supplies of at least 41 million Americans are laced with prescription drugs. The report revealed these shocking facts:
More than 100 different pharmaceuticals have been detected in lakes, rivers, reservoirs and streams throughout the world….Pharmaceuticals also permeate aquifers deep underground, source of 40 percent of the [US] water supply… Over the past five years, the number of US prescriptions rose 12 percent to a record 3.7 billion, while nonprescription drug purchases held steady around 3.3 billion, according to IMS Health and The Nielsen Co. 'People think that if they take a medication, their body absorbs it and it disappears, but of course that's not the case,' said EPA scientist Christian Daughton, one of the first to draw attention to the issue of pharmaceuticals in water in the United States. Some drugs, including widely used cholesterol fighters, tranquilizers and anti-epileptic medications, resist modern drinking water and wastewater treatment processes. Plus, the EPA says there are no sewage treatment systems specifically engineered to remove pharmaceuticals.
The Bottom Line
As a drug chemist, I had to face the cold, hard facts: Western Medicine has become a billion dollar empire not out of keen science, but rather deceit. The end result has been one nation under drugs, with slavery and sickness for all. This subjugation has set a standard of health in America that is sick care disguised as health care.
Every year, prescription drugs (used as prescribed) kill an estimated 105,000 people —more people than the Vietnam, Afghanistan and Iraq wars combined. And the trend of increasing prescription drug deaths has been going on for about 35 years according to researchers writing in The Journal of the American Medical Association.
Those who profit from prescription drugs should hold some sort of record for having the most reckless disregard for human life. If the FDA and Big Pharma onslaught is allowed to continue it will silently kill more people than all of the historical conspiracies combined—and perhaps one day, all of the wars as well. The tally of those injured and sickened by pharmaceuticals is even higher. And now, thanks to the explosion of prescription drug use, even those of us careful not to purposefully put prescription drugs into our bodies are being dosed against our will each time we drink water from a poisoned aquifer.
Ironically, the entire prescription drug debacle continues through voluntary compliance. With the exception of children, our biggest threat to health and wealth is fueled by artificial demand created by drug ads, insurance and government funded programs that are designed to dish out drugs at breakneck speeds. Without this demand, the entire system – pushing drugs as vitamins – crumbles. Say no to prescription drugs. If I can, so can you.

Media Release | Westside Circus | Monday 25th May 2015
Government cuts clown around with Westside Circus' future
Westside Circus is a successful Youth, Community and Social Circus in Brunswick.
Today, it faces significant impact from Federal Minister for the Arts Senator George Brandis, announcement that a there is to be a $110M reduction in funding for the Australia Council.
The measures revealed in the 2015 federal budget will mean close to a 30% reduction in funding from the Australia Council for individual artists and small to medium companies.
Westside Circus CEO, Simon Clarke said " We are deeply concerned after spending the last week trying to make sense of these moves".
"For Westside Circus, existence is never 'easy'. What we deliver and the community engagement we achieve is often surprising considering the resources we have available.
"We might have a small engine, but we generate an awful lot of torque", says Clarke.
The Australia Council, the Government's Arts and Cultural Advisory Body established over 40 years ago, last week announced a $110 mill funding reduction over four years, with major arts organisations and services quarantined from loss of funding. This leaves only $62mil to support individual artists and small to medium sized companies in the 2015/16 allocation.
"We make really powerful community connections here and there's no doubt that the new budget will risk all of this at some level. In the end, it's about the kids, and our community fabric.'' says CEO Clarke
In 2014 Brunswick based Westside Circus delivered events and activities for young people with disabilities and culturally linguistically diverse communities, filled 23,000 workshop places, provided quality circus experiences for 3500 young people and employed nearly 50 artists.
Despite the Budget threatening the excellent work of companies such Westside Circus, they are still finding reasons to celebrate.
On June 20 at 4pm, Westside Circus will throw open its doors to families and friends for a WINTER SHOWCASE.
Our annual Showcase is an opportunity for young circus artists to challenge themselves in front of an audience and put their learning into action.
Said Clarke; "We want the community to see us in action and help us to beat the budget cuts by supporting us and getting involved.'
At this year's showcase, we will have performances from a whole age range of our ongoing workshop program, including:
- Circus Family (3 to 5 yr. olds and a parent partner)
- Primary Circus (Prep to 8yrs)
- Pre‐teen Circus (9 to 12yrs)
- Teen Plus (13 to 18yrs), and
- Westside Circus Performance Troupe
There will be soup, performances by professional circus artists and the Westside Circus Staff ukulele band!

ARLINGTON, Texas (CBSDFW.COM/AP) — Arlington Police said an officer who shot and killed a black driver during a traffic stop September 1 has not provided a statement to detectives in the criminal investigation.
Police on Friday identified Bau Tran as the officer who shot 24-year-old O'Shae Terry.
The department had previously withheld his identify over safety concerns.
A department statement says the agency has completed its criminal investigation into the shooting and given the case to prosecutors.
"As of October 17, 2018, the Arlington Police Department has completed a thorough criminal investigation regarding all details surrounding this incident and has provided the case to the Tarrant County Criminal District Attorney's Office. Throughout the criminal investigation, the involved officer did not provide a statement to the investigating criminal detectives, which is allowed by constitutional law. No affirmative findings have been reached at this stage as the Arlington Police Department awaits the Tarrant County Criminal District Attorney's Office's decision to present the case to the full review of a grand jury," the statement said.
The news release says Tran is in a "restricted duty status" until the end of an administrative investigation.
Tran had responded to the traffic stop as backup.
Police video footage shows him grabbing onto the passenger-side window and the SUV moving away. Then gunshots can be heard.

Mauritius in August.
I'm going to Mauritius in August with my nanny family and I want to know what the weathers like then.
4 Answers
We will be as well at Mauritius in August, I am very curios to share infos with you.
Hope a lot of people will give useful hints and infos. over 7 years agoAnswered by holunder via WorldNomads.com
Holunder, I guess nobody know about Mauritius! Lol about 7 years agoAnswered by Tracy Lee via Ask a Nomad iPad app
Hi mauritius is great place to visit. I can help if you want over 5 years agoAnswered by Mauritian via Ask a Nomad iPad app
Best Time to Visit
Mauritius enjoys a relatively mild climate. Although temperatures are rather moderate throughout the year with occasional rainfall, the most pleasant times to visit the island are between the months of April and June and between September and December.
As Mauritius is located in the southern hemisphere, the summer and winter months are opposite to seasons in Europe.
Summer: November to April
The weather is hot and humid during these months, with peaks in temperatures occurring in the months of December, January and February.
Rainfall is abundant, especially on the central plateau. The highest rainfall normally occurs in the months of February and March.
Daylight hours typically run from 5.30am to 7.00pm.
This is the best time for scuba diving – especially December through to March – and for deep-sea fishing.
The cyclonic season extends right the way through from November to April. Most of the time, the cyclones manage to avoid Mauritius because of the small size of the island. However, if they come close enough, the bad weather may affect vegetation and certain wooden buildings. Please rest assured that beach resorts have been constructed in such a way as to be able to resist strong cyclonic winds.
Winter: May to October
The temperature is cooler during this season, and prevailing winds tend to blow over the island from the east and south-east.
The lowest temperatures are felt in August (20°C on the coast). Daylight hours typically run from 6.45am to 5.45pm.
This is the best season for surfing (June to August).
On the central plateau, which is some 600 metres above sea level, the average day temperature is between 20°C in August and 26°C in February.
On the coast, the temperatures are higher by about three to five degrees.
The northern and the western parts of the island are warmer and drier than the eastern and the southern regions. over 5 years agoAnswered by carlsoletraveler via Travellr.com

Chaya Venice Sushi/Restaurant/Lounge has it all plus high quality food (5/07)
If you're looking for a restaurant to go for food, drinks, and atmosphere then Chaya Venice is the place. Located in the heart of Venice, California this lively restaurant and sushi bar delivers on all fronts.
Chaya Venice is a casual, yet gourmet restaurant. They specialize in sushi and seafood and have an extensive wine list. The eclectic atmosphere features hanging fixtures, artwork, a huge flower centerpiece and a unique painted ceiling. Offering lunch specials, happy hour, price fixed dinners and late night suppers this trendy place has something for everyone. Conveniently located on Main Street in the heart of Venice, this is an ideal place to meet for drinks and sushi in the bar or for a delicious meal in the main dinning area.
The menu has a wide variety of creative and Innovative Asian inspired dishes that are certain to please anyone's palate. Chef Yuichi Natori is a master in the kitchen using many of his own recipes which include tantalizing sauces, dips and side dishes. He has been working with Chaya Executive Chef Shigefumi Tachibe for more than 12 years. There are pastas, paella, seafood, sushi, steaks and vegetarian plates. You can even get a cheeseburger if your heart desires.
We asked our server for an assortment of appetizers to start. The Cajun fried calamari with curry mayonnaise was delectable. We also recommend the seared scallops over Thai green papaya salad with ginger garlic vinaigrette. And we had the tuna tartar on crispy won ton chips with avocado wasabi mayo and the seared yellow fin tuna with mixed greens. You can also get something very unique like a lobster enchilada with cilantro cream sauce or shrimp and blue crab jalapeño fritters served with homemade guacamole.
Some of the specialty entrees include the grilled Ahi Tuna with a ginger soy sauce stir-fried vegetables and wasabi potato puree; The Miso-Marinated White Sea Bass that melts in your mouth on a tower of Steamed Rice with Baby Bok Choy; The Fish of the Day when we visited was the spicy, delicious white fish "Escolar" with grilled veggies & rice cake and a rich, tasty sauce. If you are in a meat kind of mood, the Kobe Beef is one of a kind. You can cut it with a fork as it is lightly marbled throughout so the big time flavor stands out and the port wine sauce is amazing.
The daily Bento Box which is always available and includes fresh daily selections, sushi and your choice of soup of the day. A couple other entrees suggested include the delicious paella with mixed seafood and a half Maine lobster and the sautéed sea scallops wrapped in sliced New York steak. There are a wide variety of wines to perfectly accompany your meal. Ask the knowledgeable servers for suggestions.
A must when coming to Chaya is to have the sushi. Do not leave this restaurant without ordering some. The yellowtail dissolved in our mouths as we savored every ounce of it. The seafood roll has yellowtail, tuna, spicy mayonnaise, arare (which gives the roll a unique crunchy texture), avocado, cucumber and onion. We had to choose from the menu to find other delectable sushi rolls or specials. Some of their lunch specials are Tuna, Tuna, Tuna, Dragon Rolls, Chirashi Sushi and Sushi "Omakase".
Is there any room left for dessert? Try the Banana, Banana, Banana Tart, which has banana ice cream, berries and a frozen chocolate banana or the warm Chocolate Chip Bread Pudding (not to miss).
Chaya has a very lively atmosphere. It is a great place to come to have a drink, sit at the sushi bar, or enjoy a long dinner talking with friends and meeting people. People are friendly here and outgoing. It's not a place for a quiet romantic dinner; it's loud, it has a heartbeat, and more than anything it has great food which tops it all off for a very memorable evening.
Chaya is located at 110 Navy St. in Venice, California. (310) 396-1179. Lunch is served Mon.- Fri. from 11:30-2:30. Dinner starts at 6 pm. and sushi happy hour is from 5 pm – 7 pm

As per tradition, the White House was expected to host the NCAA football champions for a dinner with the president this week. But there was one problem: Because of the partial government shutdown, most of the White House kitchen staff had been furloughed.
So President Trump came up with a grand idea! He ordered, and paid for thousands of dollars in McDonald's, Burger King, Wendy's and Dominoes fast food, then invited the Clemson Tigers to toss aside their weight watchers diets and dig in to a fast-food feast served on silver platter White House trays.
One table was covered in trays of various fast-food burgers, while another was slathered in pizza and fries (can't make this up.)
Asked whether he preferred McDonald's or Wendy;'s, Trump insisted that "I like it all" and that "it's "great American food."
"Because of the shutdown, as you know, we have the great Clemson team with us," Trump said. "So we went out and we ordered American fast food paid for by me. Lots of hamburgers, lots of pizza, I think they'd like it better than anything we could give. And so, we'll have a little fun."
"I like it all. I like it all," Trump said. "It's all good stuff, great American food."
Trump added that he ordered more than 300 burgers for the dinner. During remarks to the players, Trump congratulated the team on its victory, and joked that he'd rather feed them burgers than salads prepared by the First Lady (humorous this one.)
The players seemed happy!
As usual, the business man himself will do anything to pump AMERICAN companies and as such don't be surprised if McDonald's gets a Trump bump in the next Q.
