First ever "Personalized Medicine" for the treatment of Cancer.
US-based Morderna Therapeutics, headquartered in Cambridge, Massachusetts, is one of the biggest biotechnology startups in the U.S. Since its 2010 founding they have attracted $1.9 billion from investors, partnered with drug giants. Traditional protein-based biotechnology medicines are grown in vats and harvested from living organisms, a tedious and expensive process. The company wants to make it possible for a patient's body to make its own medicine using strands of genetic instructions called Messenger RNA, or mRNA. The Company says that mRNA can hijack a cell's protein-making mechanisms to create a drug within the body. If it works, mRNA might well have many applications in infectious diseases, cardiovascular disorders and rare disease.
However, the technology is unproven, as it is difficult to deliver mRNA to the right cells without the immune system destroying it. Critics of the company said it has a one-size-fits-all strategy."At Moderna, it's like the answer is mRNA," says Andrew Allen, CEO of rival Gritstone Oncology, which is planning to begin a trial of a competing cancer vaccine next year.
Today, "personalized medicine" is biotech's biggest buzzword. The expense of sequencing a whole genome has fallen to about $2,000, from millions in the early 2000s, unlocking new insights on how diseases work. Cancer drugs now routinely come with diagnostic tests and are given only to patients with the right genetic features.
Moderna's software produced a set of 20 protein targets specific to the type of cancer patient has. Then the researchers assembled DNA building blocks to generate the recipe for the patient's treatment. Those DNA templates were delivered to Catalent Biologics in Madison, Wisconsin, where these were transcribed into mRNA and packed as a string of instructions into the glass vial.
Scientists believe that some cancers spread because the immune system doesn't recognize malignant cells as foreign. Moderna's vaccine would teach the body how to recognize protein targets that appear only on the cancer cells.
The company expects initial results by the end of 2018. It's too early for the company to say what price it will seek for its labour-intensive product, but the more personalization is involved, the more cost and logistical challenges—so the result has to justify the extra effort and expense to do it," says Ronald Levy, a professor of medicine at Stanford University.

Thankful for the warm jacket I am wearing

Question… why does it take being unemployed to be thankful for that which most of the world doesn't have?
Question… why does it take being unemployed to be thankful for those who love you most?
If you are unemployed… this is the next step to the rest of your life. Embrace this and suddenly… life becomes… as it should.
If you are employed… it's not too late to start. Use what you have around you to make a difference in a world that knows not what you have around you.

Good memories of the New York Fashion Week
On the NY Fashion Week in February, as I wrote in my previous article, I collaborated with designer Susan Cianciolo to have a fashion stage. In addition, we were invited to attend various shows by several fashion brands. I had chances to see some of them from February 10th to 17th, from 9AM to 9PM, both on the weekdays and weekend.
I went there in my kimono almost every day. When I entered each venue in kimono, many people asked me to take photos. When I wore the kimono and watched the fashion show for formal dresses during the New York Fashion Week, I realized that the kimono has a strong power as fashion and/or as a formal dress to create an extraordinary atmosphere.
The duration of the fashion show is only 10minutes. Every Designer tries to express all his/her creation, all things including fashion, within these 10 minutes. Zang Toi tried it and succeeded to express his world on his stage. We were certainly able to see "his designed" dress and "his created" fashion world.
I appreciate all the designers to invite me to their stages; Norman Ambrose, Perry Ellis, Rebecca Taylor, VENEXIANA, GENERL IDEA, Vivienne Tam, Mik Cire, Toni Francesc, CUSTO BARCELONA, Zang Toi, tibi, Sergio Davila. Thank you very much again. I am looking forward to seeing you on the next stage.

Dr Weber very courteous and took the time to make me feel comfortable with my decision. I just wanted a little botox to help me look more rested. I want to look natural and I always feel more beautiful after a treatment with you.

Walmart could be the new maker of Twinkies and HoHos. According to Bloomberg, there are about two dozen companies bidding on Hostess' assets, including Walmart and Kroger Co.
Some of the bidders are reportedly interested all of Hostess' assets, while others are only interested in specific brands like Twinkies. Overall, the liquidation could bring in as much $1 billion for the company's creditors, according to one financial advisor's calculations.
Other first-round bidders include Grupo Bimbo SAB and Alpha Baking Co., according to the Journal. C. Dean Metropoulos & Co., the private-equity firm that owns Pabst Brewing Co., is also planning to submit a bid.
The current bankruptcy isn't Hostess' first. Back in 2009, Hostess emerged from bankruptcy as a private company after Ripplewood Holdings LLC bought a controlling interest in the company.
The most recent bankruptcy was filed in January. A shift toward healthier eating caused the company's profits to suffer. Hostess filed for Chapter 11, hoping to restructure and become profitable again. In order to cut costs, Hostess tried to renegotiate its labor contracts.
That led to a standoff between Hostess and its bakers' union. The Bakery Confectionary Tobacco Workers and Grain Millers International Union went on strike last month, after the bankruptcy court approved labor contracts the union opposed.
Hostess gave the union an ultimatum: Return to work, or the company would be forced to lay off its workforce and liquidate its assets. The union refused, and liquidation became the new plan.
More than 18,000 workers will be let go as a result of the liquidation, some immediately and others in the upcoming months.

Our group of eight was about ready to give up the search for permanent shelter as the glaring sun beat down on our sweat-drenched bodies. Almost out of food and water, we sat under a Yellow Poplar to gather our strength and to try and salvage what little hope we had left.
My brother Troy and I left our home in Maine when word came to us through a mutual doomsday prepper. A member of the military, he was privy to information most civilians couldn't even wrap their minds around. For instance; all over the world, men in high places in every country were preparing deep underground bases big enough to contain thousands. With this information in our hands, we did a little research with some very talented hackers and by deciphering encrypted messages, found out information that left us stunned beyond belief. It was one word: WORMWOOD. The great star that would fall to Earth as predicted in Revelation 8:10-11. That great star, though, wasn't a star. It was a planet. Some called it Nibiru, other's, Planet X. Its orbit carried it around our own sun every 3,634 years and as it passed, brought with it space rocks and meteors that would rain down on our little Earth, wiping out three quarters of all life on it.
When it came, those who weren't deep underground at the time of its passing, died instantaneously as the space rocks and debris trailing in its wake pelted Earth without mercy. Those in the know survived, but as the masses became suspicious of the disappearances of the Elite, groups were formed to find out the exact locations of the bunkers. From this knowledge they were able to overtake and conquer. But not us. Our group was well prepared far in advance, and once the signal was given, we disappeared as well. Deep into the government-made bunker we set up months in advance of Planet X's appearance in the night sky. The takeover was swift, violent, and successful.
But of course, nothing lasts forever, not even safely tucked below the Earth and out of harm's way. Food ran out, tempers flared, but mainly, curiosity soon became too much to bear. We had to know. But when we reached the surface, we wished we could have unseen the new Earth before us. Total devastation. Not a living creature in sight nor one building standing. Great craters peppered the landscape, some miles wide. As us seven adults and one child of ten surveyed the land, our hearts sunk, for all that we'd ever known lay before us swallowed or mangled beyond recognition. Holding hands, crying on shoulders, knees giving out, we stayed like that far into the night. Mourning life, home, and trying to except this alien landscape before us.
"Think there's others?" I asked my brother, "We can't be the only survivors."
"No, of course we're not," Tory assured me, "a lot of bunkers were dug. The race now is for new shelter, so lets get moving."
Kendra, our botanist expert, tested the soil, shaking her head.
"Not good," she told us, "It's like everything's been flash fried. We have to keep moving, it's going to be morning soon, I hope."
We trusted Kendra. Before Nibiru's space junk slammed into Earth, she was a nationally renown Botanist, famous for her missionary work in Pakistan. If anyone could find life, it was she.
"Let's keep moving, guys," Troy announced, "We have a lot of ground to cover before nightfall, and hopefully we'll find shelter before then."
Lacy and her husband, Chad, were the oldest of the group, and the worst whiners. Their former lives was that of entitlement and they complained about everything. Next, a strange girl named Raimie, about twenty or so. A loner, she never wanted to stay with the group, choosing instead to walk ahead or linger behind. Also traveling with us was nineteen year old Christopher and his ten year old brother, Gavin. Always competing or arguing, they were sometimes amusing.
The landscape confused us. Looking more like someplace in Death Valley instead of the lush, green rolling hills of the New York. Looking at the destruction brought me back to the terror of impact as the earth was hammered by space rocks and debris. We could feel the planet literally rock and shudder as we waited to die. It was the most terrifying moment of our lives.
"Hey!" yelled Raimie, "I found something!"
She was standing up on a high, rocky ridge, looking west.
We ran up and looked in the direction she was pointing, gasping at the huge gorge in front of us. With high cliffs that ran around half of the abyss-like space in front of us, trees and lush, green fauna grew below. But what caught our eye, near the waterfall that tumbled over the cliffs, was the large, dark opening of a cave. Shelter.
"I know what this is," Raimie told us softly, "This is Thatcher Park. I used to go here with my parents when I was a kid. Over there is a walkway that goes down and follows around the cliff to the waterfall. Indian Ladder, it was called. I can't believe it's still here! It looks virtually untouched!"
"Well, lead the way, my friend!" Troy laughed, "I guess it's true what they say about still waters running deep. Looks like our girl, here, found us a piece of paradise."
The area around the cave was everything we hoped for and more. Fresh water pouring over the cliffs like our own personal faucet, fresh greens and a deep stream for fishing. The cave itself was huge inside with rooms that went fairly deep to keep warm for the winter. If we even had a winter anymore. Laughing with joy, we hugged Raimie, much to her embarrassment and delight. We were going to be okay. Now, we just had to protect it from others. We would survive.

We are both super Heroes and normal people when we are needed. He fights crime, I fight cries.
We both wake-up and get ready for our day, as usual, complete with checking our awesome selves out.
We both end up with things on our hands and wonder where it came from
We both think that he is awesome.
So where will you be on May 3rd? You can find me at the movie theater seeing Iron Man 3.

Oct. 24 — A federal appeals court judge Oct. 24 raised the possibility that MetLife Inc. might be able to raise a second challenge of sorts even if the Financial Stability Oversight Council's systemic risk label is reinstated ( MetLife Inc. v. Financial Stability Oversight, D.C. Cir., argued 10/24/16 ).
At issue in the U.S. Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit is the FSOC's appeal from a March ruling that rescinded the FSOC's designation of MetLife as a risk to U.S. financial stability.
Judge Patricia A. Millett, one of three judges on a panel that heard arguments in the case, asked whether Federal Reserve Board regulations that apply to designated companies could themselves be challenged.
Justice Department attorney Mark Stern, who argued the case for the FSOC, said those regulations could be subject to challenge.
Among other points, MetLife Counsel Eugene Scalia of Gibson Dunn in Washington said the FSOC's December 2014 determination was "garden-variety arbitrary and capricious," saying the FSOC's refusal to consider relevant data that had a bearing on the case.
"It's not that the government had bad arguments, "Scalia said. "It ignored us."
It's not clear when the D.C. Circuit will issue its decision, but it may not be the last word in a case that could be on a path to the U.S. Supreme Court.
Judge Sri Srinivasan, frequently mentioned as a candidate for a U.S. Supreme Court nomination, asked Scalia whether the Dodd-Frank Act's $50 billion threshold for labeling systemically important banks suggests that the FSOC's designation of MetLife, a nonbank, has a solid basis.
No, said Scalia, because banks are more connected to the economy and because banks face a different kind of risk by being exposed to runs by depositors.
"Banks and insurance companies are different," Scalia said.
And Judge A. Raymond Randolph asked both lawyers whether a Clinton-era executive order that requires cost-benefit analysis in rulemaking applied to the FSOC's analysis in this case.
Scalia said he doesn't know, while Stern said the FSOC's action is different from that contemplated by the executive order.
"This is a determination," Stern said. "It's not a regulation."
But Randolph pressed the point, saying the FSOC's guidance to MetLife during its assessment amounts to an interpretation of FSOC rules, and that the FSOC's final determination was an interpretation of its guidance.
The argument stretched well beyond the half-hour originally scheduled. The bulk of the extra time involved questioning of Scalia.
The D.C. Circuit released audio of the argument within hours or the hearing.

In October, Lila Kims at The Cheapskate Bibliomaniac nominated my blog for the 2017 Liebster Award. I accepted and had every intention of writing the post.
Five days later, Mary Katherine from Sarcastic Scribblings nominated my blog for the 2017 Liebster Award. Again, I accepted, and increased the urgency level for writing my post.
Come December, and The Temperamental Writer at All Things Trivial and Insignificant nOMINATED MY BLOG BECAUSE GUESS WHAT I HAVEN'T WRITTEN THE POST YET.
*slaps self*
I'd done a Liebster Award post before, back in July, but there was a bit of confusion about what that actually meant, and it got treated basically like a tag. This time, however, there were lovely clear lists of rules/guidelines in the posts:
1. Thank the person who nominated you, and post a link to their blog on your blog. Try to include a little promotion for the person who nominated you. They will thank you for it and those whom you nominate will also help you out as well. (Or, as MK put it, gush about how wonderful the person who nominated you is.)
2. Display the award on your blog – by including it in your post and/or displaying it using a "widget" or a "gadget". (There are lots of options for pictures if you go here!)
3. Write a 150-300 word rave about your favorite blog that is not your own. Explain why you like the blog, provide links.
4. Nominate 5–11 blogs – who have less than 200 followers – that you feel deserve the award.
5. List these rules in your post.
6. Inform the people/blogs that you nominated that they have been nominated for the Liebster award and provide a link for them to your post. (They might not have ever heard of it!)
7. Post a comment in the comments of the award post so your post and blog can be viewed. (This... was only open until mid-December... oh well ;)
Additionally, some included the rules:
1. Answer the 11 questions that the blogger gives you
2. Give 11 random facts about yourself
3. Give the bloggers you tag 11 questions to answer
...this is going to be a long post. xD
Lila Kims blogs about books and writing (including as a Rebellious Writing member-admin-person!). She's writing a fairytale retelling that sounds awesome and you should check it out... and she's also moving to a new blog, the address of which I don't know yet. xD
Mary Katherine runs a blog called Sarcastic Scribblings and that's EXACTLY the content she provides (with a little fangirling thrown in - mention the Lunar Chronicles! ;) and this is 81.4% of the reason I follow her because sarcastic scribblings are the best. She's also writing a superhero story with an amazing duo of lead characters, and I can't wait to read more about it!
The Temperamental Writer - well, read her about page and then tell me I'm wrong for hitting follow straight away xD Humour and fangirling. I'm in. (The only awkward thing? Typing "The Temperamental Writer" when I want to address her by name. ;P Do you have a preferred nickname, Temperamental Writer??)
And a blog that I've come to love very much for its depth and inspiring words is Jessica's Apples of Gold. I didn't realise just how much it meant to me until a few posts brought out quite an emotional reaction. (See Dear Girl Who Feels Deeply and A Call to Follow God's Will.) Jessica writes about living our faith and loving others, and does it beautifully. Thank you for being amazing, Jessica. <3
Mary Katherine's questions:
1. What is the most extreme thing you have ever done?
I don't know, off the top of my head, but it was probably something to do with socializing.
(I'm not likely to have done anything physically extreme like jump off cliffs into the ocean or something. Although I know people who've done that.)
2. What is your favorite post you have ever written?
Um... the meet my family post was fun! And the ideas from Pinterest series is great. You should all go check them out if you haven't read them already.
(...yeah, I make a terrible salesman. Sorry. Don't mind me, I'm just being awkward here.)
3. When was the last time you laughed? (Was it because of this post?)
Nooo, it wasn't because of your post, sorry MK... but that's because it's been a looong time since your post, because I am a Master Procrastinator. I definitely did laugh when I read your post, particularly your admission that you remember me as "the Australian girl with the owl picture".
(There are worse ways to be remembered??)
4. What is a book you would recommend to anyone?
The False Prince (+ the other two in the trilogy), by Jennifer Neilsen.
(I may have raved about this book before?? sorry??)
5. Who would you want to be stranded on a desert island with?
The American president. Not because I'm a huge fan, or because I want to talk to him or anything? because I don't think we have many common topics of interest... but I figure the chance of being rescued by the huge manhunt is pretty high. ;)
(I'm proud of this answer - although my original thought was "a boat-maker". Second thought was "the Doctor", but I figured that if he's stranded he mustn't have the TARDIS anyway... we'd get rescued, but it would take the whole episode and I might end up dying and being the angst factor??)
6. Favorite fast food chain?
I am superhealthy and eat fast food like never.
(Actually I hate salad so it's a good think my mother raised us to avoid fast food, or else I'd definitely be super unhealthy. I do like Domino's pizza...)
7. What would be the perfect date? (April 25?)
Wait. What's on April 25th?? *googles* ANZAC Day? I don't- what??
(I don't get it?)
8. Cat or dog person?
Dunno. Either. I used to be a real cat person, but just the other day I found myself saying "Oh, look at you, you're such a boofy floofball, aw, who's a good boofy floofball, yeahhh, you are!" at a random dog. So.
(I mean, uh, that wasn't me. Of course not.)
9. Favorite dessert?
I like chocolate self-saucing pudding... among many others. Which we sadly don't eat often.
(Although I think the last time I had chocolate self-saucing pudding was the afternoon before my family all came down with some sort of tummy bug involving vomiting. Good memories.)
10. Favorite desert? <3
We just- did- WAIT no. Okay. Desert. Um. Australia has lots of deserts? but I somehow can't remember any of their names?
(Who has a favorite desert anyway. That's my excuse.)
11. A family tradition you love?
My family typically spends Christmas morning at home together, lunch with my mum's family, and tea at the beach with my dad's family. We're blessed to be able to see [almost] all of our family for Christmas.
(Plus we stay in a beach house literally just across a small road from the ocean.)
The Temperamental Writer's questions:
1. If you could time travel, would you go to the future or the past?
Did Doctor Who/The Flash + Legends of Tomorrow/every superhero comic EVER teach you nOTHING?? I would stay right where I am! because the opportunity for creating a paradox/changing my reality is far too high. I don't want to return to my timeline and find out that, I don't know, half my family doesn't exist?? or the Cold War never ended?? or Australia has been taken as an American colony??
(...nothing personal, you guys... but that would be terrible xD)
Unless I went into the past and just saw how people lived... still, the chances I wouldn't change anything are almost nonexistent. And I wouldn't go into the future because my brain simply couldn't handle it the implications of knowing xD
2. What's more important, plot or characters?
Characters. If I love the characters, I don't care if I'm reading fluff. Probably a plot is usually needed to make me fully invest in the characters, though? How about BOTH because it's like saying do you need your heart or your lungs more??
(I need my lungs more, by the way. For, like, singing and stuff. Who needs a heart anyway.)
3. What is your favorite blog post that you've written?
...see #2 of MK's questions, above!
(My recent Australian Culture (Mostly the Food) post is also good! *poke poke* You should read it! *poke poke*)
4. If money was no object, what would your ideal vacation be?
Not a travelling holiday... I like to have a base and focus on an area instead of spending long periods in a car. I did enjoy Hobart, Tasmania (despite the cold!), but I haven't planned out an "ideal vacation". Is that something people do?
(Somewhere with a library, would be nice, I'm thinking??)
5. If you could be the sidekick of any protagonist in a book/movie, who would it be?
I actually did this question, in a depth that was not required or (I'm thinking) wanted, here! (Q6 of the Sunshine Blogger tag, or search "sidekick".)
(Or, if you like, I can start up the discussion again? You'd like that, right? Right? Why are you running?)
6. What's your favorite time of day?
Dunno. Early morning's nice? but I'm not usually up then. ;P
(You know that weird feeling at night when everyone's in bed and you wander around in the dark and look at the lights of cars driving past? That's pretty cool.)
7. DC or Marvel? (Or neither?)
DC comics, Marvel movies.
(Although Marvel does have some good comics too.)
8. What is something you wish people knew about you without telling them?
In real life? TALK TO ME FIRST OKAY. I will be happy to talk to you! but I will not go and speak to you eVEN IF YOU'RE WEARING A HAWKEYE SHIRT AND A BATMAN CAP AND A BRACELET THAT SAYS "MAE GOVANNEN" because I apparently have no priorities and would rather stand alone against the wall than walk up to a stranger and talk.
(N.B.: I'll be happy to talk to you... unless I'm holding a book, in which case go away or you take your life in your hands. Reason #57 why internet-talking is less stressful than real-life talking - I can just answer you when I'm finished reading.)
9. What is a book that emotionally destroyed you?
I am too strong to be emotionally destroyed.
(Just joking. Actually I just avoid books that might emotionally destroy me because I know I'm weak. ;P)
10. What would your superpower and superhero/super-villain name be?
Pretty sure I'd pick invisibility. But I'm TERRIBLE at thinking up names. (I'd be a hero, though... or chaotic neutral... not a villain, anyway. But probably chaotic, now I think about it.) Any suggestions for a name??
(I would not pick flight. Unless... actually, being able to fly might make me less scared of heights?)
11. Why is a raven like a writing desk?
According to Lewis Carroll: "Because it can produce a few notes, though they are very flat; and it is nevar put with the wrong end in front!"
(Honestly I didn't even know this HAD an answer until I googled it.)
Annnd I'm not going to nominate anyone. Because there are so many amazing blogs! and you're all special in different ways and I love you all. But mostly because this is the 2017 Liebster Award [obviously why I'm publishing it in 2018], and I figure there's a new one. Or something. But YOU ALL DESERVE TO BE NOMINATED BECAUSE YOU'RE AWESOME. *confetti and lamingtons for you all*
...Also, happy new year? *more confetti*
Do you follow Lila and MK and the Temperamental Writer because you should, they're awesome. How much of a procrastinator are you? What are you looking forward to in 2018? (Did you stay up until midnight?) Is there anything in this post that you want to chat about? I'm up for all the chatting!

George Will: Some children face a tough road
Various figures denote vexing social problems. They include 10,000 (the number of new baby boomers eligible for Social Security and Medicare every day), 10.2 percent (what the unemployment rate would be if 1.2 million discouraged workers had not recently stopped looking for jobs), $9.9 trillion (the Government Accountability Office calculation of the gap between the expected revenues and outlays for state and local governments during the next 50 years), $76.4 trillion (the GAO's similar estimate of the federal government's 75-year fiscal shortfall).
Remedies for these problems can at least be imagined. But America's tragic number — tragic because it is difficult to conceive remedial policies - is 70 percent. This is the portion of African-American children born to unmarried women. It may explain what puzzles Nathan Glazer.
Writing in The American Interest, Glazer, sociology professor emeritus at Harvard, considers it a "paradox" that the election of Barack Obama "coincided with the almost complete disappearance from American public life of discussion of the black condition and what public policy might do to improve it." This, says Glazer, is the black condition:
Employment prospects for young black men worsened even when the economy was robust. By the early 2000s, more than a third of all young black non-college men were incarcerated. More than 60 percent of black high school dropouts born since the mid-1960s go to prison. Mass incarceration blights the prospects of black women seeking husbands.
Because changes in laws and mores have lowered barriers, the black middle class has been able to leave inner cities, which have become, Glazer says, "concentrations of the poor, the poorly educated, the unemployed and unemployable." High out-of-wedlock birth rates mean a constantly renewed cohort of adolescent males without male parenting, which means disorderly neighborhoods and schools. Glazer thinks it is possible that for some young black males, "acting white" — trying to excel in school — is considered "a betrayal of their group culture." This severely limits opportunities in an increasingly service economy where working with people matters more than working with things in manufacturing employment.
Now, from the Educational Testing Service, comes a report about "The Black-White Achievement Gap: When Progress Stopped," written by Paul E. Barton and Richard J. Coley. It examines the "startling" fact that most of the progress in closing the gap in reading and mathematics occurred in the 1970s and '80s.
This means "progress generally halted for those born around the mid-1960s, a time when landmark legislative victories heralded an end to racial discrimination."
Only 35 percent of black children live with two parents, which partly explains why, while only 24 percent of white eighth-graders watch four or more hours of television on an average day, 59 percent of their black peers do. Black children also are disproportionately handicapped by this class-based disparity: By age 4, the average child in a professional family hears about 20 million more words than the average child in a working-class family and about 35 million more than the average child in a welfare family — a child often alone with a mother who is a high school dropout.
After surveying much research concerning many possible explanations of why progress stopped, the ETS report says: "It is very hard to imagine progress resuming in reducing the education attainment and achievement gap without turning these family trends around — i.e., increasing marriage rates, and getting fathers back into the business of nurturing children." And: "It is similarly difficult to envision direct policy levers" to effect that.

The Dose Response
The Cornerstone of Toxicology and
Challenges for Risk Assessment
National Capital Area Chapter - Society of Toxicology
Spring Symposium
Maryland STAMP Student Union
University of Maryland
College Park Campus
May 16, 2002
NCAC-SOT Spring Symposium
The goal of this symposium is to generate discussion about one of the central tenants in toxicology the dose response relationship. As was stated so long ago by Paracelsus it is the dose that makes the poison. Or is it? As our approaches to measuring various toxicological responses become more sensitive, questions can be raised as to whether a change from a control response is truly an adverse change. As our understanding progresses regarding the body's physiological mechanisms for response to toxic insult, what appears to be a toxic effect may actually be a compensatory mechanism with no adverse outcome. In contrast to the traditional perspective of a linear dose-response relationship, evidence exists for varying responses at low versus high doses. All these complexities need to be considered and factored into interpretation of the data for risk assessment purposes. This series of presentations will take us from traditional study designs and treatment of data into the current world of mechanistic risk assessment where the lines become blurred between cancer and non-cancer assessments, quantitative vs qualitative approaches, threshold vs. nonthreshold events, including such phenomena as discontinuous dose response and U-shaped dose response curves.

Bridget Jones's Diary quotes25 total quotes
And that was it. Right there. That was the moment. I suddenly realised that unless something changed soon I was going to live a life where my major relationship was with a bottle of wine... and I'd finally die, fat and alone, and be found three weeks later half-eaten by Alsatians. Or I was about to turn into Glenn Close in Fatal Attraction.
Shazzer, journalist. Likes to say "****" a lot.
(Answering phone) Bridget Jones, wanton sex goddess, with a very bad man between her thighs... Mum, hi.
At times like this, continuing with one's life seems impossible... and eating the entire contents of one's fridge seems inevitable. I have two choices: to give up and accept permanent state of spinsterhood and eventualy be eaten by alsatians... or not, and this time i choose not. I will not be defeated by a bad man and an American stick insect! Instead, i choose vodka. And Chaka Khan.
Now, these are very silly little boots, Jones. And this is a very silly little dress. And, um, these are- **** me, absolutely enormous panties. ~Daniel
Daniel: If walking past my office was attempt to demonstrate presence of skirt, can only say that it has failed parlously-- Cleave.
Bridget: Shut up, please. I am very busy and important. P.S. How dare you sexually harass me in this impertinent manner?
Daniel: Message Jones. Mortified to have caused offense. Will avoid all non-P.C. overtones in future. Deeply apologetic. P.S. Like your tits in that top.
Bridget: Shut up, please. I am very busy and important. P.S. How dare you sexually harass me in this impertinent manner?
Daniel: Message Jones. Mortified to have caused offense. Will avoid all non-P.C. overtones in future. Deeply apologetic. P.S. Like your tits in that top.
Bridget: Wait a minute, nice boys don't kiss like that.
Mark: Oh yes, they ****ing do.
Mark: Oh yes, they ****ing do.
It all began on New Years day, in my 32nd year of being single. Once again I found myself on my own and going to my mother's annual turkey curry buffet. Every year she tries to fix me up with some bushy-haired, middle-aged bore and I feared this year would be no exception.
My mum, a strange creature from the time when a gherkin was still the height of sophistication.
Resolution number one: Obviously will lose twenty pounds. Number two: Equally important, will find sensible boyfriend to go out with and not continue to form romantic attachments to any of the following: alcoholics, workaholics, commitment phobics, peeping toms, megalomaniacs, emotional ****wits or perverts. And especially will not fantasise about a particular person who embodies all these things... Unfortunately he just happens to be my boss, editor in chief Daniel Cleaver, and for various slightly unfair reasons relating to this year's Christmas party I suspect he does not fantasize about me.
Tom, 80's pop icon who only wrote one hit record then retired because he found that one record was quite enough to get him laid for the whole of the 90's. Total poof, of course.
Major dilemma. If actually do, by some terrible chance, end up in flagrante surely these would be most attractive at crucial moment. (holds up thong) However, chances of reaching crucial moment greatly increased by wearing these scary stomach-holding-in pants very popular with grannies the world over.
(rummaging through her fridge) Where the **** is the ****ing tuna?
(imitating her line on TV) This is Bridget Jones for Sit Up Britain searching for the tuna.
Don't be silly, Bridget. You'll never get a boyfriend if you look like you've wandered out of Auschwitz. ~Mother

These new pictures show the aftermath of this week's big 'EastEnders' reveal, which will see the truth about Michelle Fowler's relationship with Preston discovered.
And the timing couldn't be worse for the family, as Michelle's niece Bex recently began a relationship with the teen.
As these pictures show, Stacey is left picking up the pieces when the devastating news is revealed:
At present, Sharon Mitchell is the only one who knows that Michelle's relationship with the teenager was the real reason for her decision to leave Florida, and when he later arrived in Walford, they resumed a physical relationship.
Meanwhile, an obvlious Bex began to get closer to Preston, eventually becoming his official girlfriend.
As Stacey does her best to comfort her step-daughter, can Michelle do enough to earn her family's forgiveness?
Next week's 'EastEnders' episodes are set to be unmissable, and last week, bosses stated that the affair revelation will kickstart a devastating chain of events. Watch this space to see what happens…
These 'EastEnders' scenes air from Monday 27 March. Catch up on all the latest soap news and spoilers here.

We recently partnered with local professionals in the community to hold an event titled "Navigating Parkinson's at the Hospital" in Charlotte, NC – to focus on the importance of being prepared for a hospital stay as a person with Parkinson's. Blake Tedder, MSW, is the Community Development Manager for the Parkinson's Foundation in NC and he spoke on the Foundation's Aware In Care Kits – which were designed to help people with Parkinson's disease (PD) get the best care possible during a hospital stay. These kits are FREE and can be ordered online or requested by calling the Parkinson Foundation at: 1-800-4PD-INFO (473-4636)
We handed out a survey to those in attendance to get an idea of how many people experienced issues as a Parkinson's patient in the hospital. We plan to share these results with local neurology and Movement Disorder offices and centers to see if some sort of protocol can be put into place. The more survey results we have – the better. If you have spent time in the hospital after being diagnosed with Parkinson's – please complete this short survey to share your experience. No names will be shared when sharing information.
Thank you for your feedback!!

Given the linkage between theory and research, science is limited to statements about natural and material reality – about things that are at least in principle observable. Hence, there are entire realms of discourse that science is unable even to address, including such matters as the existence of God.
(p.305, How the West Won, Rodney Stark)
Few things are directly observable. Rather, what we observe are the effects that things have on other things. For example, we don't observe gravity directly, but rather observe gravity's effects on various objects.
So, is God observable? If he has effects on other things that in turn we can observe, then yes. Most Christians believe God does have such effects, and in an on-going way. Therefore, the investigation known as science is applicable to at least certain effects of God. Since evidence for God's effects is evidence for His existence, the matter of the existence of God is – at least to some extent – something that science can address.

As I'm about to become a mom for the second time, I am feeling so many things. I'm definitely excited to meet little baby boy. I can't wait to see him- see what he looks like, discover his little personality and teach him so many things.
But with the excitement is fear. I'm scared for the labor and delivery- it's an unknown how it will all work out. I'm scared that something could go wrong with me or the baby. Nothing can go wrong for me- my guys need me. And everything has to be perfect with this baby. He may not be here yet, but he is my child and I will do all I can to protect him.
But most of all, I'm scared for Jack. I know that someday these two will be best buds and do everything together. But for now, I worry about how the dynamic will change with the new baby in the house. It won't be all about Jack, and he's so used to that. He will have to share his time with someone else and won't have his every demand met immediately (he *may* be a little spoiled). Yes, there are two adults so we can make it work, but I think it will take some time for us to fall into a new routine.
Perhaps I'm overreacting and being silly. I just love Jack so much- I think he's the greatest thing ever and I want him to be happy. One thing I don't worry about is how I will love two as much as I love one. I know how much the heart can grow, and it's absolutely impossible to love Jack any less so loving them both won't be a problem at all.

The Power of setting goals.
3 Vacations in 3 months.
I have this whiteboard at home.
I've wrote down on the board that I wanted to take 3 vacations.
Now I didn't think i was able to achieve all these goals, but I wrote them down anyways.
These were my goals:
1. Florida for Christmas,
2. Vegas in Jan.
3. Punta Cana in February for my birthday.
I didn't think it would happen, I didn't have the cash to afford all of that.
Once I wrote down my goals, Things started to happen…
I made a mental commitment to try to make enough money to do it.
I ended up earning alot of cash, but not enough money for all 3 trips.
So other things happen.
Vegas ended up being almost free. I turned it into a business trip,
plus had friends spiting the cost. Which saved money allowing me
to afford my Punta Cana Trip. Which ended up being the BEST TRIP EVER!
So Why Do You Care?
Write down your goals; and stick to them.
You will be amazed on how much you actually get done!
"Aim for the moon, and if you miss you'll end up among the stars"
It doesn't matter what it's for; poker, im, blogging, ppc.
Just Write Them Goals Down!
That's it for now. Go and enjoy the rest of your day!

Arbors are synonomous with roses, but there are several other plants that can create an equally appealing look, depending on the style of your landscape and the style of the arbor you choose. A simple arbor can create a welcoming entryway when placed over a walkway.
A well-designed pergola can be used to create a new "room" for your home. When placed on a deck or patio, with the right furniture and some exterior fabric your landscape instantly becomes additional living space.
A garden trellis as a stucture will serve as support for any climbing plant or vine. Additionally, if placed in a certain area of a landscape, it creates a wall for privacy or a blank canvas for adding color with flowering plants. With a variety of shapes and construction materials, there's a trellis available to match any home.
A vine pole is one of the easiest ways to train a flower vine that needs support, particularly a very fast growing species.

Wedding in Florence, Italy
Florence has always been one of the most favorite destinations for lovers coming from every corner of the world on the occasion of their honeymoon, and it is only starting from a few years ago that many loving couples have chosen Florence as their favourite place where to get married.
What are the reasons for choosing a wedding in Florence? Well, it is an incredibly romantic city.
Florence is a charming city, marked by a history which through the centuries left important proofs in both fields of art and culture. In Florence you can marvel at the most beautiful cathedrals in the world, besides buildings, villas and gardens which are the ideal scenery for a special occasion like your wedding day.
Picture in your mind for a moment to get married in the famous cathedral (Duomo) of Florence and to celebrate your love in one of the most important monuments in the world, which, as few, is able to create an atmosphere sacred as much as magical.
Otherwise, think about having your wedding celebrated in the Basilica of Santa Croce (Basilica of the Holy Cross), in the Basilica of San Lorenzo or in one of the many ancient churches of the Renaissance Florence.
In the case that, rather than a church, you would like to celebrate your wedding in the ideal scenery of one of the historical and stunning villas placed of the Tuscan rolling hills...you will be spoilt for choice then!
Wonderful villas surrounded by wide and green gardens could be the real witnesses of your most important day.
A wedding in Florence also means to have your wedding rings created by one of the most prestigious jewelries of the famous gold masters of Ponte Vecchio, it means to choose as souvenir for your guests the refined handmade creations by Florentine craftsmen and give yourself a wedding banquet rich of all the traditional specialties of Tuscan cuisine.
But your wedding day will never be forgotten especially thanks to the city itself. The romantic and charming atmosphere in fact is maybe the most important reason in choosing to get married in Florence.
And in addition, in a few years, when you will watch your wedding day photographs, you will remember to have celebrated your most beautiful day in a wonderful city...where it's really easy to fall in love!
Weddings are a once in a lifetime thing.
A professional wedding photographer is an essential element in order to make your wedding in Florence unforgettable. In the future, you will have the opportunity to flip the pages of your wonderful photo album and clearly remember all the special moments of your perfect day.
Duccio Argentini is an Italian professional wedding photographer based in Tuscany. He shoots weddings in a contemporary style, a mix between photo-journalistic/reportage and traditional style.
Duccio is a skilled photographer with years experience who will make your dreams come true: your wedding photos in Florence just as you have always imagined them. As a matter of fact, Duccio's talent will help the beautiful Tuscan landscapes to make your photos even more special.

Remember your Special Day with Wedding Photographer Duccio Argentini
Can you imagine a more romantic country to get married in than Italy?
With nothing but Green luscious hills, olive groves, Cyprus trees and unimaginable views as far as the eye can see.
If you are thinking of getting married abroad, Tuscany really is the place to do it. The agency Con Amore (meaning "with love" ) is a small team of creative and passionate wedding planners who have been organising weddings in Tuscany for a number of years.

Running Injuries
More and more people are taking up running. It's great for your cardiovascular and mental health, it lowers your risk of diabetes and obesity and keeps you alert and fit.
It's logical to think that pounding your joints causes them to wear but actually the scientific evidence suggests this is not the case.
There are plenty of long-term studies of runners to show that, as long as your joints are healthy to start with, running does not substantially increase the risk of developing arthritis, even if someone jogs into middle age and beyond.
So if exercise is good for you, then why do the press knock it? Well lets be absolutely clear, it's not exercise that is bad for you, it is INJURY that is bad for you and sadly as you age you are at increased risk of injury.
Why are you at increased risk of injury as you age?
Well, as you age your ligaments become less elastic or less stretchy. This means that they are less adaptable to changes in foot position and so ligament injury is common. In fact a million people a year attend A&E with an ankle sprain so its one of the commonest injuries people suffer.
What is an overuse injury?
An overuse injury occurs where the forces put on the body exceed the ability of the body to handle them and soft tissues such as tendons, ligaments or bones can fail. This presents with conditions such as tendon problems (tendinopathy or tendon tears), ligament sprains, and even stress fractures.
What tips can you give to someone looking to take up jogging?
- Make sure you have a Good Pair of trainers that must be well fitting and comfortable
- Build up gradually and slowly. DON'T overdo it or you will get an overuse injury
- If you are not used to running and are starting afresh, get a personal trainer or physiotherapist to assess your running style and give you advice on injury avoidance.
And if you are very overweight or have pre-existing arthritis you may wish to consider different or modified activities such as walking in water, cycling or cross training which put much less strain across your joints but can give you an equally good cardiovascular work out.
This article relates to a feature on the BBC Radio Gloucestershire Breakfast Today programme hosted by Steve Kitchen, standing in for Mark Cummings on the 16th April 2014. You can listen here.

More of our customers tell us how much they love our products!
Read even more testimonials!
(1) (2)
I just wanted to take a moment to say thank you for your help with our order. I had several of my horse friends participating in this order and I have attached a photo of us with our smiling faces and bale of Guardian Bedding.
In addition I would like to tell you that every member of your team that I dealt with was outstanding. The customer service was great and I can assure you we will be back in the spring.
- Kim Hardin
Today I went to a feed store and purchased
your pine pellet bedding. I went straight to the barn,
stripped his stall and put your product in. I started with 4
bags and was so pleased. It looked great, smelled better and
got a great review from my horse.
I can't tell you how happy I am that the horse is happy and no
longer has to stand in his own urine and smell the ammonia
I appreciate your help and am happy to tell you that you now
have a new customer. . . a happy one!!
Thanks again,
New Brunswick, NJ
Ron Stone and Trouble
USEA Area IV
I first saw the pellet bedding in Troubles stall a couple of
years ago, I was skeptical. But, for the first winter since
Ive had him, we did not experience thrush or abscess. The stall
stays dry, clean and comfortable. Trouble is a big horse, but
with the Guardian bedding, we do not have hock or pressure sores.
Thanks Guardian!

Saves money and time! Guardian Horse
Bedding is awesome! I have 3 horses in my barn and a pallet
of Guardian pellets last me almost 5 months. My manure pile
is manageable and I have more room for hay. I love this bedding!
Guardian Horse Bedding:
I borrowed some of your bedding from a friend. I have been using
pelleted bedding for some time now and I was impressed with your
product. My stalls have cement floors and I have found when
using your product, the time between stripping my stalls has
increased at least 2 weeks over comparable products.
The Pony Place USA
Ottawa, Illinois
The doctors at AVS Equine Hospital chose Guardian Horse Bedding because with our large in hospital case load we needed a bedding product that is clean, dust free, economical and labor friendly. Guardian Horse Bedding covers all of those needs. Our barn staff can quickly and easily clean a stall since the swift pick shavings are easy to spread around the stall and they allow the stall to be kept very clean.
Since we are providing bedding for our hospitalized patients, mares that foal out here and for our horses in training, it is of utmost importance to have clean and dust free shavings for both long tern and short term health of the horses.
An added bonus is the people at Guardian Horse Bedding are very easy to deal with and very dependable.
Kim Seversons Event Horse Mighty says "thanks for keeping me dry at Paradise Horse Trials" where he placed 3rd in the Open Training on a 24.1. Kim, Mighty and the Severson Eventing Team are Guardian Horse Bedding fans and were Team Severson fans. Guardian wishes all of you the best of luck and thanks for spreading the word!
Hi. I just wanted to write to let you know that I love your horse stall bedding. I use the pine pellets in my house rabbits litter box. The pine is dried and the pellets are much less dusty, which is important for sensitive respiratory systems. Your pellets control odor better than anything else I have tried and it is easy to scoop out wet areas so the fresh litter is not wasted. The rabbits took to this litter immediately and I recommend it to all my other house rabbit guardian friends.
Thank you so much for an incredible product,

Day after day has been employed upon this senseless task, and yet it is not half accomplished. The shade of each departed day falls upon our graves, and the worm exults as he beholds it, to know that we are hastening thither.
-- Charles Dickens
Some thoughts, not fully formed... it was nice to take a break from answering questions this Sunday. Nice enough to make one think of taking a break for more Sundays. May not have more online sessions for a while yet.
If I'm not answering your emails, it's probably because I'm not answering many emails these days.
Peace :)

Another unique feature of Acadia is the extensive system of carriage roads. Built in the first half of the 20th century by the Rockefeller family for use by horses and carriages, these roads traverse Mount Desert Island and offer unparalleled access to the its interior. These are possibly the most scenic bike paths anywhere. Due to its length of more than 45 miles, the carriage roads are best experienced on a bicycle. This is the activity that we've done most often and I'm happy to say we've biked most of the carriage roads here (some are outside the park proper and off-limits to bicycles).
We sometimes bring our own bike, but our preference is to rent a tandem bike from Bar Harbor Bike shop. Not only is it more fun, the tandem makes going up hill much easier. From the shop, some people take their bikes to the park on an Island Shuttle. The shuttle, which can accommodate regular (not tandem) bikes on a rack mounted on the front, is a free and convenient way to get around the park. We prefer to bike directly to the park via Duck Brook access road. We typically make a half-time pit stop at Jordan Pond to have lunch and recharge before making the journey back. This time we also take a detour to Day Mountain, which is the only mountain whose summit is reached by a carriage road.
Here's a map of the route we took.

Outpost ("OP") Restrepo. Korengal Valley, Kunar Province, Afghanistan. 2008. A film still from the documentary RESTREPO by Tim Hetherington and Sebastian Junger. Image © Outpost Films
"Restrepo," a feature-length documentary, is as exciting and suspenseful as any summer blockbuster out there. More than that, it's important that it be seen. The film follows a platoon of U.S. soldiers stationed in a 15-man outpost on a war-torn cliff in one of the most dangerous regions of Afghanistan in 2007. (See the trailer here.)
The 94-minute film is the experience of one platoon assigned the task of securing a hilltop combat outpost as part of the Army's offensive in Kunar province, near the Afghan/Pakistan border. In the words of Captain Dan Kearney, "the road ends at the Korengal outpost and where the road ends, the Taliban begins." The title "Restrepo" has two meanings. It is named after young Pfc. Juan S. Restrepo, a medic who was killed early in the deployment. The second meaning is the name of the outpost that his fellow soldiers built in his name.
Although it may lack the predetermined melodrama of other war narratives on film, "Restrepo" is the most intimate experience of war I've seen on the screen. The two filmmakers, writer Sebastian Junger (author of The Perfect Storm) and photojournalist Tim Hetherington, hunkered down with the soldiers for many stretches of a 14-month deployment.
No doubt the Hollywood establishment will have frustration dealing with the success of "Restrepo." Chances are they will view it as just the latest in some seemingly endless glut of war documentaries about troops in the second Gulf War. That it is a film without advocacy on the matter of the U.S. presence there makes it unlikely that the media will know what to do with it. Instead it has the subtle effect of letting the viewer conjure up their own questions and process the information through their own intellectual and emotional lens.

In a bold move, the BBC only yesterday asked, "What happened to global warming? The globe's temps have been falling since 1998 and the pius members of the international global warming religious movement cannot believe it. Their best response in the face of the facts are: while it may be getting cooler, the next few years will be heating-up faster than ever, breaking those 1998 records! These same people admit that while 98% of the Earth's heat comes from the sun, it has NO meaningful effect on the planet's temps. That's when they lose me.
I've never been opposed to the idea that the Earth's temperature fluctuates, but I have been skeptical of the level of human contribution to those fluctuations, or that reversing the Industrial Revolution will even make a noticeable dent. You realize that while the Earth's temps have been dropping this decade India, China, America and all the other major "polluters" have been generally increasing the amount of CO2 being pumped into the atmosphere. That's odd especially in lieu of the fact that more Indians and Chinese drive cars now than at anytime in history and that their industrial economies are raging more than ever!
After the Berlin Wall came down, many of the lost and dejected commies traded in red for green and continued their assault on capitalism, free markets and nations who've been materially successful. It's all about international socialism, especially since the hallowed Kyoto Protocol excluded India and China, the biggest potential polluters of all! Only the rich countries were targeted to save the planet. You know what? Until Panama disappears and the Atlantic and Pacific Oceans can hug again around the Equator, we're caught in an unstoppable cycle of ice ages, which would be considerably more dangerous to civilization than longer summers and greener crops from a minute temperature shift over the next 100 years.

While I am waiting to hear back from a few surprise guest, I have a confusion. I was born and raised in a small town in Indiana. Why am I telling you this you might be asking yourself. I am telling you this because I thought you might like some perspective on what it's like for someone not from here.
Let's start off with the obvious. I am from a small town. I had never seen a crane building things before. How is that possible you might ask? Go back to my opening statement about living in a small town.
Seeing buildings being built quickly baffles me.
Being minutes away from a big city like Toronto took a lot of getting used to. Concerts from big named bands closer than I have ever imagined.
I work in a mall where in a day there is same amount of people from my small town in it. How is this possible?
A few holidays are different here. You don't have independence day. They do have Canada day it's celebrated on July 1st. Every month in the summer has one long weekend in it. They even have a family day in February. The one that throws me off the most is Thanksgiving. I was used to having Thanksgiving in November. Where it would be cold and sometimes snowy.
In Canada Thanksgiving is in October. The weather could be a lot like this.
I hope you all have enjoyed this little blog. I hope to have a few surprises guests soon. I hope you all enjoy your time with your family and friends.

From an email:
The Friends of the Soldiers Home hosts a free 4th of July Fireworks viewing party on the grounds of the Old Soldiers Home in Washington, DC. The party is at an elevated spot on one of the highest hills in Washington, DC and is a superb place for watching the fireworks. Our events are a way to support the veterans of the home and the local community through entertainment and fun."
