The Application Of HP-Beta-CD In Natural Drug Preparation---Alkaloids
HP-β-CD & Alkaloids
Alkaloids are natural nitrogenous organic compounds.9 - nitro - camptothecin is topoisomerase Ⅰ inhibitors, pharmacological studies have shown that its antitumor activity higher than that of camptothecin, but its solubility in water is lower than 5 ug/mL (25 ℃) limits the clinical application, under the condition of physiological 9 - there is activity of camptothecin lactone ring and inactive hydroxy acid salt, the transformation between the thus enhance its stability and solubility is a research hotspot in recent years.Jiang et al. prepared 9-nitro-camptothecin hp-a-cd clathrates and evaluated them in vivo.In the research of 6 kinds of CD in HP - beta - CD solubilization, the largest is similar to 2.5 times the beta CD, at the same time, the HP - beta - CD inclusion compound of 9 - nitro - camptothecin lactone ring hydrolysis speed is far less than the free state of 9 - nitro - camptothecin.Rat plasma pharmacokinetic studies have shown that static note 9 - nitro - camptothecin clathrate AUC0 - up for (538.05 + 107.29) (ng h.)/mL is much higher than the free condition (538.39 + 127.32) (ng · h)/mL (P < 0.05), so after the inclusion has higher bioavailability.
Colchicine induces tumor cell apoptosis by destroying the alpha and beta subunits of the microtubule dimer.Because the structure contains a strong base, ionization leads to low bioavailability under physiological PH conditions.Chau-han et al. increased the solubility of colchicine in water by 1.75 times by preparation of colchicine HP- beta-cd inclusion.The dissolution curve showed that the dissolution of colchicine was increased under the physiological condition (PH7.4), and the inclusion form also prevented the ionization of colchicine.The study showed that the absolute bioavailability of colchicine was 1.82 times.H-NMR and ROESY confirm that the NHCOCH3 part of colchicine has entered the cavity of hp-beta -CD.

From horseback safaris in Africa to playing with monkeys in Borneo, there are so many wildlife holidays around perfect for you and your family to enjoy over Chinese New Year. Here are some of our favourite places to travel and witness so many animals in the natural environments.
SOUTH AFRICA – Go on safari tours, horseriding through the bush and guided bug walks whilst on holiday in South Africa. Watch the Big Five at home in their natural habitat and stay in some luxurious lodges along the way.
KENYA – With pristine beaches on the East coast and the great plains in the South, you should spend a few days on an exhilarating safari before lying back and relaxing on the coast.
SOUTH AUSTRALIA – Cuddle up to koalas and kangaroos when you visit Kangaroo Island- known as the 'zoo without a fence'. For the more daring in the family, try shark-cage diving off the Eyre peninsular!
BORNEO – Although the weather is not 100% reliable at this time of year, Borneo is still one of our most sought after destinations. Visit the conservation areas home to many orangutans and spend time exploring the wild rainforests.

Where do you go, restless soul?
Listen to the city at night.
Sounds like home, doesn't it?
Sounds like millions of innocent victims screaming.
At times easy to see –
The demon.
The real me.
And fresh blood –
A perfect night.
Some old poems from a series called AnOther Poems. I have written them "as another person", which means they are not really mine. It is my "second life", the second me that has existed very long and been a place to hide, a safe place for me through 20 years. After I moved out of my childhood home he disappeared for five years and returned in my chaotic phase (party, heavy drinking & prescription drug abuse, severe delusions and very strong manic and depressive periods, irresponsible behaviour, severe paranoia, beginning addiction of self-harm, insomnia, suicidal thinking) possibly due to the heavy alcohol and prescription drug abuse. It was odd, having another person inside of me that took over every now and then, but on the other side it felt good. It was like a free escape.
That time I started to write his diary, I wrote it only when it was safe to let him out. I could write hours, page after page about something that was in a way reality to me, even when I did not actually live it. I started also writing these poems, but after getting the medication against the bipolar mood disorder I completely lost the creative vein. I had a writing blockade but even after it broke I have not been able to continue to write poems. After I decided to move back here, and after actually moving here he disappeared quite intensively. I have very little connection to him. I guess it's because I have now much better working medication, I drink almost no alcohol more and use the sedatives very responsibly. And I have a life. I have things in my life that make ME want to LIVE IT. Before I didn't really want to live, I sought for escape. Now I have found new reasons to stay alive, I have my family of guns, my best friend who is a lovely person and I love and respect him very much. And I feel a sense of duty.
I have to take care of Maru, and I have to take care of my parents. I'm too tired to travel but I have to, I promised to visit them next week. They need me.
Don't get me wrong, it's just a duty. I'm not sure if I really care or not. I can make it look like I care, and therefore I have lost the sense of what is real and what is acting. Like, I can cry if I'm told to cry, I can fake any feeling. When I'm with them I concentrate fully on them and talk only about things that they can accept, things that are important to them. I give them my support, I agree with them, talk witty and present realistic looking theories which in fact have absolutely no ground, I create those at the instant I speak them out. I make sure I always agree with them in high amounts. Then I can allow me to make some odd-sounding comments from which they do not know if I'm trolling or just insane, which make them a little unsure, maybe they start wondering what's wrong.
This is a very typical way of action for me. My actions and words might differ highly. I'm friendly, open and helpful, and most of the time I talk with people in a way that makes them trust me. Then I say something like "I could murder someone for you, if you pay me enough" to someone who is seriously desparate and under heavy pressure, or "this country should start renting it's military knowledge and high standard training grounds for NATO and UN" to someone who is very peaceloving, anti-NATO, anti-military person and does not understand how this country would profit from joining NATO.
It's also my style talking about the absolute opposite than the person I'm having conversation with understands or accepts. Example: my mother is academic from nature and education, book loving, peace loving, simple person who wants everyone to live in balance, be humble and polite. I once talked to her about NATO and how we could profit from it. About the solutions I have for the "useless military" crisis, how to make money with military training, how to solve the economy crisis, about weapons and that they are not that bad as she believes. Well, that's complete opposite of what she can stand. That discussion kind of ended in a dead end because she did not get my point, which was not actually meant to happen. It was just my way of showing that my knowledge is beyond hers and she can not compete with me in political or economical opinions. I'm aggressive to get everybody accept my opinion and do what I say. Confusion is a way to win.
Does not sound very nice thing to do for your own parents. But confusion is a way to control. They need me, and I can get whatever I want with only a little effort.
This time, I'm going there to probably visit the vet with mum. She's unsure and doesn't want to go alone. Dad was in a cancer test this week and also needs some support. They are living on the edge of poverty and still try to be helpful and support me with money and food. I could live without that support. I don't need it and in a way I don't even want it. They don't need to give me anything. I'm fine with the feeling that I have control over them. That's enough. I'm fine with the knowledge that they will do (in minor cases) about anything I say if I put some effort in explaining why this or that would be a good idea. I have provided them with feline special diet food, some medicine for their cat and some anti-flea agent. If they travel somewhere I go look after their old cat.
Oh whatever, now I'm hungry again. Had the biopsy today, I hated it. I almost got a panic attack in the beginning, and can't eat anything warm cause they took samples from my stomach.
This is an old photo of Threedog (GR-16) in my bed beside my pillow. It's too large to be kept in that place, plus it's made of a type of plastic that works as a cat hair magnet. The best place would be on the wall in sleeping corner, I've planned to build there a wall for all of them, that can be covered with a sort of curtain. I just need to pull the curtain over them when I get unexpected guests or people who are very sensitive. I like to keep my guns at sight. I also clean them with vacuum cleaner when they get too dusty and look no dust can go into the barrel or inside the receiver or magazine, or the battery hole of AEG's.
That was probably the only time I had Threedog in that place. Normally it's very well enough for Seed (P90) or one of the pistols. I change them regularly to avoid getting stressed. I have vacuumed my place and still there are very much cathair atm. He sleeps sometimes in my bed and it's full of them, and my clothes too.
Have to get me something to eat. I miss those days when I could not eat anything. I have been bingeing food for four weeks at least. Since I was released from hospital. I have gained weight again and am in poor physical condition. The depression took all my eating controls, but I try to live healthier from now on. And I try to go out for a walk more often. When I get it cleaned up here, that is. Not much to do anymore. Guess I'll take me some frozen strawberries and go to bed and read some more of my brand new Word Bearers Omnibus. It's so great! I waited for it like I've not waited for a book that thick for 17 years at least.
To finish this, one more poem. It's from the first year I wrote these, 2005. Those were probably the best ones. They came from heart, they had soul, they had feeling. And this particular one is somewhat what I feel now too:
Dark path of water,
Ice covering the landscape:
I'm not welcome.
People like me are not welcome to this world. ;/ On the other hand it's sad, on the other hand I don't care. It's like balancing on the thin line of sanity: should I be sad about being feared and rejected, or confident and proud because I'm one of the really sick ones, one of those who are capable of murder, one of those with no empathy whatsoever, one without conscience?
With that question hanging in the air, I leave now. Be back whenever.
5 Responses to "Where do you go, restless soul?"
You are always welcome in this world. Who is it to say that you're not? You are here, you are entitled to life, one that is filled with things that you love to do. Don't ever feel sad or sorry for yourself. Because it doesn't matter to anybody else. Be confident and proud, not because you're one of the sick ones, but because you made it into this world. And that you are still alive to share your own experiences with others. I know that you are a kind person. And it moves me to read about your experiences because I can only imagine all the hardships that you have gone through.
You don't have to listen to anything that I say, and I totally respect that. But I also respect the amount of control that you have, especially reading through a lot of your posts. You have many weapons, many opportunities of doing something bad, yet you choose not to. And that is why I keep coming back. Because you are an example to me. You may have a lot of dark thoughts that plague you, but who doesn't? You're brave enough to share those and it doesn't bother me one bit. Yea, I may get worried every once in awhile of the things you write, but you are definitely a strong person and reaffirms what I had already known in the first place. Don't let anyone else think otherwise, ok?!
:) Thanks for your nice words. I have been too tired/hyper to think anything reasonable to answer. Past week with light mania and extreme mood changes. Today in a big family meeting but it went all ok. Thank god! Some surficial talk and people say things what everybody in the room know are just kind of lies, they tell each other that they care when they really don't. At least this one time I think my feelings were real and I really care for my grandma. She had her 90th birthday and she's still very bright in head.
I seem to have found a new connection to dad, thanks to my guns. He wants to try out mine. Maybe he lets me try out his… Next weekend there's a collection of fairs in Fair Centre, I'm going with a friend. He's mainly interested in the Photo&Camera part but I wanna see the hunting fair too and get info. I need to talk to people more, I like to communicate with people and inform myself. I need connections.
I didn't catch up with A this week and that makes me semi-worried. I hope he's alright.
I'm really thankful that you come here to read this mostly insane stuff. Most people are freaked out. :) This week should have been like a long weekend, but it was stressful. Fighting with mum for example. Their house is a house of lies. I was already stressed and flipped out when she kept nagging about food. Dad found my secret stash of airsoft magazine and my pistol that I always carry with me when travelling in homeland. Had my knife as well but really no need to show them around. Could have, but chose not to. Well, dad just wanted to make sure I won't let mum see those things cause SHE would freak out and call the police or first aid thinking I'm nuts. Heh, maybe I am, a little bit… ;)
No worries! Sorry for the late reply…but hopefully you're doing well. I was able to read your latest posts. And I know that you aren't comfortable with sharing your complete feelings. Which is totally fine. I understand…how can you trust somebody that you've never met in person?
I know for a fact that you are a good person. Just the amount of time and thought that you put into your comments shows that. Maybe I'm wrong and I'm being led astray…But overall I know that you have a good heart. Every time I get a reply from you , a sigh of relief escapes my breath because I know that you are still alright and that nothing bad has gone down.
I'm glad that your grandma is doing fine! I wish that my grandma was still around…never met the woman but I heard that she was a wonderful lady. Anyways, hope that you're doing well. I know that you are facing various struggles and that there are two sides pulling you apart. Maybe I'm wrong…but you know what they say "the side that you feed the most, wins".
And I know that you have something that makes you smile on the inside and not the dark stuff, but something on the inside that brings you a genuine peace of mind. Remember that and hold onto it with all of your strength. You are definitely a strong, kind hearted person and you don't deserve to be tormented by those voices anymore.
Hi, thanks for coming over. :) I've not been alright for a couple of weeks but today I seem to have made a small breakthrough. It confused me though, have to think about it but I will not need to do that all alone but can work on it with my psychologist and nurse. For some of my at times very antisocial behaviour there's a deep rooted reason, for some of it not..
In internet it's not about trust. It's not that I trust people, but strangers at distance are easier to control with telling them just certain things about me. Today I think I showed my psychologist a little bit of the "real" me inside. The person who is mostly totally passive about everything and just wants to have her peace. I think that you have catched a little glimpse of that too. It sometimes shows. And I'm truly happy that you have. That you see behind the curtain. Not all is lost yet. :)
Many have tried to kill her, even she has tried it herself, but maybe that friendly, happy little girl I once was has somehow survived. Even at the times when I look at my childhood photos I rarely smile in them, and must think if that person ever existed at all, all hope is not lost. If there's a way to overcome the memory blockades I might find out why I stopped smiling and the exact time when my insides turned black.
And thanks again for your kind words, they give me hope too! You're such a nice person. Wish you a good starting week!
p.s. i have lied before, just in this manner, told nice things to people because they wanna hear them, but i swear to all possible gods and everything that is holy to me that this time i'm not lying. i have no reason. i'm passive.
Absolutely. It's all a battle that everyone has, to some extent. Some have it harder than others. But it's one battle that we will take with us to the grave. I have definitely caught more than a glimpse of that passive, peace seeking, friendly person. Every comment you have replied with has always been filled with kindness. Another reason why I keep coming back.
I know you have more…way more to you than all of the gruesome things that you post. And of course that little girl is still there in you. I know since you haven't given up yet. And I can tell that through your posts, in the conflicts that you face. If you were totally gone, you wouldn't have any conflict since you would have just let one side win. But the struggle shows that you're keeping up the good fight against things so dark. I admire that. You are definitely a strong person. Don't ever give up!
Hope is never lost. As long as you have the will to fight, it will always be there. Even in the darkest, most frightening times…it will always be there :D

Summer Daydream is one of four new blends, from the newly released Seasons line from Tsuge. The Season's line is a collection of four (one for each season), aromatic blends. Released at the same time as the God Series, which is a non-aromatic lineup, but those are for another review. It's still summer down here, so i am going to see how this tobacco holds up.
Summer Daydream
Company: Tsuge
How Packaged: 1.76 oz. Tin
Style: Aromatic
Tobacco Used: Burley & Virginia
Casing/Topping: Vanilla
Cut: Ribbon
Bowls Smoked: 4
Date Purchased/Obtained: 8/18/15
Storage Method: Mason Jar
Pipe(s) Used: Drew Estate Tsuge
Price Point: $12.95
Purchased: From the CigFed Store.
Quick Note: To view the Pipe Tobacco rating system used, click here.
Tin/Jar Note: Nutty, sweet and pleasantly smooth.
Visual: A fairly moist looking, ribbon cut pile of darker tobacco, with the light colored Virginias throughout.
Flavors: Pretty straightforward. Sweet Virginia and nutty Burley tobacco notes, with a mild amount of vanilla.
Smoking Experience: It smoked nicely, other than needing a few relights. I didn't hit it too hard from that since it is an aromatic and with the humidity outside my tobacco only gets "wetter" as I have it out.
Tobacco Strength: Mild+
Body: Mild+
Room Note: Pleasant
Comparable Tobacco: Nothing specific comes to mind. This is similar to most of the vanilla aromatics I've had, except it seems to be the mildest one to date.
Conclusion: Good tobacco, nice sweetened profile. Only real drawback to me was the strength and body. A little too on the mild side for me. Even though this makes sense to me, because for those hot summer days you'd want something easy going and somewhat sweet. I would definitely rebuy, just sure I wouldn't need to keep too much on hand.
Rating: 3 Stars AKA "When it is on Sale" – Wouldn't pay full retail but would purchase it on sale.

LOS ANGELES – "Forever Marilyn," the 26-foot-tall statue of Marilyn Monroe that became a controversial fixture on Chicago's Michigan Avenue, has been getting final touchups since its arrival in Palm Springs, Calif., on Monday morning.
The 34,000-pound sculpture, which cost about $40,000 to transport, took a week to be trucked across the country. Passers-by have gotten a sneak peek this week as installers, and a few cranes, reassemble the statue at Palm Canyon and Tahquitz Canyon Way, where it will remain until June 2013.
"When we drove up to Palm Springs, we couldn't believe it," said Audrey Vernon, 67, of New Jersey, who was on vacation with her husband. "It was quite impressive."
The sculpture by Seward Johnson, the 80-year-old artist and Johnson & Johnson heir who's known for casting famous images into giant sculptures, re-creates the scene from the 1955 film "The Seven Year Itch" in which a drafty New York subway grate blows the sex symbol's skirt well above her knees.
The piece didn't receive the warmest reception in Chicago during its time there and was the target of more than a few vandals and critics. Some called the undergarment-baring pose sexist, while VirtualTourist.com dubbed "Forever Marilyn" the No. 1 piece of bad public art — ahead of a "Bewitched" statue in Salem, Mass.
Several cities lined up to host the massive Marilyn when its Chicago residency wrapped, perhaps because August marks the 50th anniversary of the Hollywood legend's death.
"We received many requests as far away as Tokyo and Madrid and cities in Brazil, and we really felt that Palm Springs has a special connection to Marilyn because it is the legendary play land for Hollywood," said Paula Stoeke, the director and curator of the Sculpture Foundation, an organization funded and run by Johnson.
In downtown Palm Springs, the city is busy preparing "Marilyn" for its May 24 debut.
"She's still being assembled – it's taking a while because it's been so hot, making the surface hot to touch," said Nona Watson, CEO of the Palm Springs Chamber of Commerce.
Alleged Kunis stalker in court today
LOS ANGELES – Prosecutors have charged a man with stalking Mila Kunis and violating a restraining order that was issued after he broke into a vacant condo owned by the actress.
Stuart Lynn Dunn, 27, is scheduled to be arraigned today in Los Angeles on two stalking-related felony charges. He is being held on $190,000 bail.
Dunn has been arrested twice this year for trying to contact and meet the "That '70s Show" and "Black Swan" star.
In February, a judge ordered Dunn to stay away from Kunis after he was found living in the vacant condo unit. He had repeatedly tried to contact her before that arrest, and he was arrested earlier this month outside her gym.
Gore surfaces swimmingly in dating pool
It's never easy to re-enter the dating pool after years away — probably especially so if you're one of the most famous men in the world.
But things seem to have worked out for Al Gore. The Nobel Peace Prize laureate and former vice president has a serious girlfriend.
Her name is Elizabeth Keadle — better known as Liz — a well-heeled Democratic donor from Southern California in her 50s with a background in science and a devotion to environmental causes.
The relationship is solid enough that she accompanied Gore, 64, and an eclectic group of experts and VIPs (Richard Branson, singer Jason Mraz, actor Tommy Lee Jones) on a trip to Antarctica in January to raise awareness of climate change.
Gore's office declined to comment on the relationship, as did Keadle.
It has been nearly two years since Al and Tipper Gore announced their separation.

A new study finds that nearly five percent of employees have high levels of psychological distress associated with a high likelihood of a mental disorder.
Led by Michael F. Hilton, Ph.D., of The University of Queensland, Australia, the study was based on a survey of more than 60,500 full-time employees of 58 Australian companies.
Workers anonymously completed the "Kessler 6" questionnaire, which asked how often they felt sad, nervous, hopeless, etc. Scores of 13 or higher (on a 24-point scale) indicated high psychological distress, with a high likelihood of a mental disorder.
Overall, 4.5 percent of the employees had high psychological distress. Another 9.6 percent had moderate psychological distress (score of 8 to 12), indicating a "possible" mental disorder.
Just 22 percent of workers with high psychological distress were currently receiving treatment for a mental health condition. Another 29 percent said they had a mental disorder but had never sought treatment, while 31 percent denied having any problem.
Workers in sales positions were at greatest risk of high psychological distress: 5.6 percent of men and 7.5 percent of women. Workers expected to work long hours (60 or more per week) also had high rates of psychological distress.
Another risk factor was working in "non-traditional gender roles"—for example, women who worked as equipment operators or laborers and for men who worked in clerical or administrative jobs. Marital separation and low education were also linked to high psychological distress.
Corporate occupational health and safety (OH&S) programs are increasingly taking an active approach to prevention, screening, and early treatment of physical health problems in workers. However, companies have been less proactive in identifying and providing treatment for workers with mental health problems.
Despite extensive evidence showing the high rates and costs of mental health disorders in the workplace, many employers have the perception that their employees are somehow "immune" to such problems.
The new study—using methods familiar to OH&S professionals and managers—demonstrates a high rate of psychological distress in the working population. The risk factors identified may help in targeting groups of workers at high risk of psychological distress and mental health problems.
"Employers need to focus health resources on a common, debilitating, largely untreated illness group that substantially reduces employee productivity at work, increases absences from work, and increases employee attrition," Dr. Hilton and colleagues write.
The study is reported study in the July Journal of Occupational and Environmental Medicine, the official publication of the American College of Occupational and Environmental Medicine (ACOEM).

ROCHESTER - Although Rochester employees can expect to get their take-home pay today, the borough doesn't have enough money to meet payroll tax deductions, a problem that could affect payday in coming weeks.
Because of the borough's ongoing financial predicament, Councilwoman Marlene Kislock, chairwoman of public administration, feared Thursday that workers weren't going to receive their regular paychecks today.
By Thursday evening, however, Rochester officials had come up with a new plan, and had arranged to have ADP, the company that does the borough's biweekly payroll, wire back the $20,000 payment the borough already made to cover half of the payday wages.
But before that decision was made, Kislock, chairwoman of public administration, said the money just wasn't there to compensate about 35 employees - police, fire, clerks and secretaries, the borough manager, crossing guards, council members, the mayor and the street department.
"When there's not money coming in, there's not money coming out," Kislock said.
The revelation wasn't much of a shocker to most employees, who are well aware that the borough is financially strapped.
Paul Butcher, code enforcement officer and street department foreman, said department heads were told Wednesday, but before he could share the news with his workers, word had somehow spread.
"I'm surprised we've lasted this long, and that's the truth," Butcher said.
Rich Mansueti, a road department worker, was more upset than shocked after canceling his direct-deposit arrangement last pay because his paycheck dropped three days late. Two automatic payments, including his mortgage, bounced because of it, he said.
"My wife and I both work. When one of those checks isn't there, it makes a world of difference," said Mansueti.
Council President Joe Glenn said the borough is manually issuing take-home paychecks to employees today. He estimated total payroll around $40,000, tax deductions included, but only about $20,000 is needed to issue handwritten checks to cover the employees' take-home pay.
"We won't miss anybody's paycheck at this point," Glenn said.
But whether enough funds can be pulled together to pay future wages is yet to be seen. Rochester has struggled in the past to meet end-of-the-year expenses, particularly salaries. The borough recently finished repaying money that was borrowed from the police pension fund in 2004 and 2005 to help cover salaries and other expenses.
Glenn said Rochester won't be borrowing from the pension again, but without the bulk of taxes coming until March, he foresees the next couple of months will be "bad for the borough."
"This time of year is when the borough struggles to make payroll," Glenn said.
The problem isn't mismanagement so much as it is less revenue and overspending, he said. Rochester lost a $120,000 contract with Freedom this year to provide police protection, and departments have overspent, Glenn said.
"We were trying to be nice, and that was our problem. We should have been tougher. Right now, absolutely no spending is allowed at all. There's absolutely nothing to be spent."
Borough officials previously thought employees would have to wait about a week to be paid, when the borough's $78,000 state liquid-fuels allocation arrived. Officials are still anticipating the money, which Glenn said will go directly into the general fund to help pay future wages and bills.
Solicitor Allen Andrascik said the borough is working with the office of Sen. Gerald LaValle, D-47, Rochester Township, to expedite the funding.
Jim Struzzi, PennDOT spokesman, said liquid-fuels money is provided to municipalities to maintain infrastructure, such as building or improving local roads.
The funding can be used for payroll, provided that the employees' duties are roadwork-related, he said.
"They can use their money to pay their employees, but only if that pay stems from road or bridge work," Struzzi said.
Christine Dixon, a researcher at the Pennsylvania State Association of Boroughs, said she has never heard of a borough using liquid-fuels money to cover payroll.
"I'm not going to say this hasn't ever happened, but it's unusual," Dixon said.
But with three weeks left before Christmas, the last nickname council members want to be tagged with is Scrooge.
"We're trying our best to do what we can to pay everybody we need to pay," Glenn said.

Built by Senator Nelson Aldrich in 1896, over two hundred craftsmen were commissioned to create the structure. Sixteen years after construction began the mansion was complete, with seventy rooms, multiple dining rooms, sitting rooms, a grand marble staircase, terrace, and more. As well as being a popular site for weddings and anniversaries, the Mansion's 20th century claim to fame comes from being used as the location for the movie "Meet Joe Black".
Chef Al Langeveld has been the Executive Chef at Aldrich Mansion for over 13 years. The Mansion keeps busy year round with catered events, and Chef Langerveld works hard to make each event a special memory.
|"We do forty to fifty weddings a year. This is a breathtaking location. People come from all over to be married here," said Chef Langeveld "Although we have a set menu, if the customer has a special recipe they want us to create we try and accommodate them."
Chef Langeveld became a ChefTec user in April of 2001, after seeing a demo of the software at the Northeast Foodservice & Lodging Show in Boston, MA. He then began using all three ChefTec PDA modules in July 2002.
|"ChefTec is the best thing since sliced bread! I made back my investment in 2 months and have dropped my food cost by 7%, said Chef Langeveld. "I have all three PDA modules, which help me with inventory, ordering and recipes. My office is offsite and I used to scribble recipes and notes on paper. Now, with PDA Recipes, I can write it on the PDA and then hook it to the computer and all my information is there. No more lost recipes!"
Chef Langeveld has installed ChefTec on his laptop computer. This has allowed him to take ChefTec home to create orders and production sheets for his staff. He remarks how his paperwork has been cut in half and his inventory is under control by using ChefTec PDA.

For men of substance, cufflinks are not just some decorative accessory, but reflect his sense of style and personality. It is true that these accessories are needed to fasten both sides of the cuff on a French or link cuff dress shirt. However, other than this basic function, cufflinks can also make a sophisticated and powerful statement.
Cufflinks for men evolved between the early 17th century to mid-19th century from ribbons of cloth, to buttons attached to one another, to aesthetically painted jeweled studs or diamonds that are connected by using ornate gold links. It was Prince of Wales, later King Edward the VII, upon donning colorful Faberge cufflinks who tacitly gave the stamp of acceptance to them. To the delight of many, the evolution of this accessory continues.
In keeping with your elite taste, byDCLA brings stylish cufflinks from the U.K. for your French cuff dress shirts. High density and innovatively designed, they will surely get noticed wherever you go. The careful attention to even the minutest details makes these accessories endlessly fascinating and enjoyable to wear!
How important is it to wear a pair of quality socks?
Consider this: the part of the human body that perspires the most are the feet. You need socks that can absorb and evaporate the moisture. It all depends on all the quality of the fabric, knitting and thickness of the socks.
Over the years, various fibers have been used for making socks such as silk, wool, and ever popular cotton. In addition to that, many innovative blends, including a unique blend of cotton and nylon are being used for manufacturing high quality socks.
We offer a wide variety of socks manufactured by top-notch brands like J. M. Dickens, Punto, and Penguin. We also have a signature collection of socks by designer label Robert Graham.
In addition to the above, you can pick luxury braces for men that are used (instead of a belt) to hold up (suspend) the trousers. Our vast collection of braces includes Limited Edition Silk Braces by Trafalgar, which are both elegantly expressive and highly collectible.
Explore our website to learn more about the unique accessories that we offer, or call us now, and our stylists can help you pick the essential accessories that are just right for you!

March Break Guide: Reading List
Ayelet Waldman is the author of Bad Mother, a book that presents the controversial idea that women should love their husbands more than their kids. One Oprah audience member got so mad about Ayelet's book that she tried to beat her up (Ayelet, not Oprah). But can someone who shares This American Life episodes with her kids truly be considered a bad mother? Depriving your kids of Ira Glass, now that's bad parenting. Here's Ayelet's March Break reading list for your bunch:
Our favorite books to read aloud or to play on audio during long car trips are often (though not always) books that my husband [Michael Chabon] and I enjoyed as children, and are eager to read again. Our kids run the age gamut from 6 to 15, so finding books that all can enjoy is a challenge. All the kids like fantasy, so we tend to be heavy on those. And we all love the audio of This American Life episodes. Not exactly a book, but perfect for the car.
Half Magic by Edward Eager
The Oz books, particularly Ozma of Oz, a favourite
A Wrinkle in Time by Madeleine L'Engle
The Earthsea Cycle by Ursula K. Le Guin
The Hobbit by J.R.R. Tolkein
The Golden Compass by Philip Pullman
The Tale of Despereaux by Kate DiCamill0
Virtually any This American Life episode.

Workcover. What?
Construction site - PNG style. Bare feet, thongs. Exposed reo. Occasional hardhat. Workcover in Australia would have an absolute fit.
This is the new multi-purpose centre building for IT and others. One of 4 new buildings going up at the moment. It is a EU funded project that - like most things here - has taken about 10 years to get off the ground.
This project is good from a development wise aspect, because just about all of the levels of involvment are local enterprises. Unlike some other Aid agencies that like to award contracts to companies owned by their nationals.
The only thing I am not sure about is if the EU would feel duty bound in case a construction worker happen to skewer himself on an exposed piece of reo bar. Probably not.

While hopping out of a friend's boat, I slipped on caught his leg on a hook used to tie the boat up. The thing that made this rather dramatic is that the hook wasn't sharp. It was blunt and so the injury was more of a tear. The doctor sewing it up said it was the nastiest injury today. While waiting for hours in the ER I had enough time to sneak in the bathroom and get a quick picture. Sorry it's not too clear but then again, you don't really want to click on the image below to enlarge.
(sorry they're blurry so you can't get the full effect, it's hard to take pictures under your leg while standing in a hospital bathroom, trust me):
I'm really sorry if this grosses you out. I'll work on my tan this summer and not have that gross pasty white skin by fall… I mean the season "fall" not the next accident.

The Bagpuss series was first aired on the BBC in 1974, and, although just 13 episodes were made, the films aired for 26 weeks a year for 13 years.
In 2010, the show was voted number one in a BBC poll of programmes which adults would most like the BBC to bring back, as well as the number three greatest kids' TV show in a Sky survey.
On top of this, Bagpuss has also been enjoying a resurgence in licensing activity – notably, the brand generated over £35 million in UK retail sales between 2001 and 2005. There are currently 20 licensees on board.
Fran Huxley, licensing consultant, tells Licensing.biz: "Plush continues to be a real hit in the marketplace with new lines being developed to fulfil demand. At Christmas 2010, the launch of the microwaveable Bagpuss plush by Intelex saw exceptional sell-through at 2,000 retail accounts in the UK, and Bagpuss was listed as the number one retro toy property by the Daily Mail. Retro t-shirts have proved time and again to be a hit with consumers via online retailers such as Play.com."
New products launching this year include nightwear, bags, greetings cards, more plush and gifts. Huxley also adds that new deals will be signed in toiletries and food, as well as further apparel and gift licensees.
So what's the secret to Bagpuss' longevity? "Bagpuss' innocence and gentle stories endeared audiences to the character in the 1970s and 80s, and so they have always had a place for him in their hearts," Huxley continues. "Wherever Bagpuss is available, the public's affection for the brand is triggered and his appeal is proven by the sell-through of merchandise.
"It is also the original audience introducing Bagpuss to their own children that is contributing to the brand's current popularity. He's just a saggy old cloth cat, but everyone loves him."
As is now becoming the norm, live performances are forming a key part of Coolabi's plan with Bagpuss going forward. The brand's debut stage show at the Soho Theatre during December 2010 and January 2011 was a sell-out, so The Birmingham Stage Company will be performing The Bagpuss Show for another season later this year. Dates have been confirmed in Edinburgh, Birmingham and, for the Christmas season, Canterbury.
In addition, a dedicated pop-up shop and exhibition is also being planned for October half-term in London. This will feature all of Smallfilms' original puppets and merchandise, with special events taking place throughout the period.
By the end of this year, Huxley is hoping to have grown the number of licensees, skus and retailers for Bagpuss.
"We have seen great momentum and significant growth in recent years, and the new products that were developed last Christmas sold out, so our aim is to give retailers even more of what they want this year and into next.
"Further success by continuing to re-establish Bagpuss with the generation who loved it originally and by introducing it in many fresh and exciting ways to a whole new generation. Bagpuss is here to stay."

"It Felt Like Anything Could Happen": The Menzingers And PUP Discuss Their Wild Years
"Whatever happened, you just rolled with it. It didn't matter if you played well or your gear fucked up, it was just about being there together."
"Whatever happened, you just rolled with it. It didn't matter if you played well or your gear fucked up, it was just about being there together."
"The northern lights were easy to write about for a few lines, but there's so much going on that you're mind gets clouded. But when there is just intense stillness, your mind can't focus on anything other than what you need to write about. I think the reason I wrote the most songs out in Iceland is because I hadn't felt nothingness for a long time."
"To some degree, where this record came from is really none of your business."
"His music doesn't need a genre to define it, and it doesn't need a generation to define it, either. It's everyday life."
Telling bands that they're on course to 'save' rock and metal is a needless burden, stresses Power Trip frontman Riley Gale...
"I'm prepared for the negative reactions, because I've been getting negative reactions my whole life in metal."
"I don't hate cops, I hate brutal cops. I don't hate people, I hate racist people."
"Metaphorically, the main theme of the album is how everything changes. We see ourselves as more and something lasting, but we're just a blip in comparison to the universe around us. We accept this change, but there's also this longing for something constant and definitive."
An exploration of the fan communities and lifestyles formed around particular bands, told through the accounts of five young mega fans.
A Scooby Doo-style investigation into Room 309, which lies at the center of Creeper's James Scythe mystery. A case of mistaken identity, goth punks and the incompetence of Ibis hotels.
"You need to realise that success gives you an opportunity to be good to the people who really need it the most."
"It's different generations trying to grasp the same thing, all thinking they've grasped it more and no one ever has! It's funny. We're civilised with technology, but we still don't know what the fuck's going on and we're all going to die. No one gets any closer to it."
"Even if it's not immediately autobiographical, these songs are definitely autobiographical of someone close to me. But if you put their life into your songs, you can maybe tell a more universal story."

Intentional Grace, Calling all Agony Aunts
14 comments:
I'll be praying for you, my sweet friend. Sometimes I don't understand women at all.ReplyDelete
Catherine. Hold on tightly to what you know to be right and true. Hold on. Yours is the marriage. You have nothing to apologise for or regret. This is a trying time, filled with the insecurities and wistfulness of others. Why do we look back on our first loves, and aspirations and dreams, and then measure up mature decisions and destinies against such fragile, experimental things? Let these women recapture their memories, and their mistakes- from photos and reunions and whatever else. But not on your solid, established, loved and loving ground.ReplyDeleteReplies
Dearest Mags..I am so grateful for your comment! I just so needed to hear those words. I have wrapped them around my shoulders & they have bought great comfort.Delete
I can also see in what you have said that I have allowed my own wistful review to torment me at times..seeing that first love in the untested perfection that it was not.
Ok, so the intentional grace...hold on tightly.
Thank you sweet friend. x0x0x
Ps Toad isn't really lost...i just made that up...for the story.
Although I have to say that they are all looking a little worse for wear at this point.
Pom's backing fabric has gone decidedly bobbly!!!
Hello Catherine,,gosh..... now then, first my lovely a hug for you,,then maybe a deep breath. now I am no expert, so please don't feel you have to take anything I say as concrete ok :-)ReplyDelete
How does Rob feel about all this? If it was me I would not want my husband to have anything to do with this person and I would like to think that as my friend, and knowing how much it was upsetting me, he wouldn't have another thing to do with her, and would send her packing....that is not too much to ask, you haven't needed her around for the past 18 years so she isn't exactly a friend is she?
secondly, she obviously likes the drama, as why bother? possibly not a terribly nice person, but of course I do not know her, so, I couldn't possibly comment on that one :-)
Thirdly, you stick up for yourself my lovely, it is your life, your home and you have a right to say who you do and don't want on your doorstep,
My advice therefore is next time she decides to stir things up,,, is to tell her ever so politely to B***er Offt xx
love Sophie xxxxx
and Keep smiling xxReplies
Oh Sophie, thank you. After more tears you've made me smile. I certainly did stick up for myself. I wrote a straight email to her the very next day & sent it via her husbands work email..that's all I had. I described my perspective & all the pain it had caused through the years. She said she was gob-smacked & didn't intend any harm. We have agreed to have zero contact & Rob is grateful I wrote. I'll save the B***er Offt just in case : )Delete
Just to add, one slightly creepy thing, she even knew about my blog so there had been some research done I think!ReplyDelete
Hello Catherine, Oh my dear - sending gentle but squishy hugs to you my friend :-)ReplyDelete
I am soo sorry to read of your pain & can feel it in your very words., The games people play eh . . .
I wholeheartedly agree with Sophie - you did the right thing contacting her - I have found from experience that to front up & say "I am not going to put up with your nonsense" kind of thing, to be the very best tactics, You & Rob are strong & will weather this I am sure. These kind of things come along & sweep us away sometimes when we are least prepared. I am certain you will find your intention & grace even in this trying time dear heart.
And yes that IS creepy that she knew about your blog.
You will make your way back to that girl skipping with her sunhat very soon - do not lose heart dear friend.
Sending love, hugs & positive affirmations your way, Julie Xoxoxox
Catherine, firstly I'm sending you a great big squishy hug.ReplyDelete
Some woman really can be horrible and the one you have been dealing with certainly sounds like she falls into that category.
She lands on your doorstep after all these years and expects what...friendship? After ignoring you whilst hugging your husband, I don't think so.
Have nothing to do with her, she has no right to expect entry into your precious life, home and relationship. She sounds very toxic to me. Oh and by the way, you can be as sensitive as you like. You are you and it's got nothing to do with anyone else how your choose to feel.
Don't waste your precious energy and time on thinking about this woman...she's not worth it.
You are a beautiful, loving, caring and compassionate woman who knows how to be a wonderful friend, wife and mother. Do not let those with insecurities undermine your confidence.
You take very good care of you. And all horrible woman can GET LOST!!
Have a wonderful weekend,
Anne xxReplies
Dear Anne, I realise as I read your comment that I have had a bit of trouble through the years trusting woman & perhaps that's why I needed to tell about this out loud. I have been so encouraged & feel so supported by everyone...arm & arm with my friends , who I find I do trust, gives me immense strength & courage to do what I need to do & come out the other side with greater self-assurance. Thank you!!! x0x0xDelete
First love today is just an imagination. Every marriage is hard work, not just a pleasure. Why do you have to apologize? She had her chance, now it's your life, your husband and your love. This kind of woman doesn't call. I think, she even didn't think that she does something wrong. Your really should not worry about her.ReplyDelete
(I'll hope, you understand what I mean, my English is still average).
So sorry to comment again Catherine but had been thinking about this "person" while awake in the wee small hours . . .ReplyDelete
think of it like you did with the suitcase in your post titled "chimidunchik" - as you bent to pick it up at the door, thinking "no thankyou I certainly dont need THIS baggage anymore - goodbye" - if you get my meaning.
Thinking/worrying for you dear friend.
LOVED Anias comments above also.
Julie XoxReplies
Dearest Julie..you have made me smile just in your apologizing! it is so incredibly kind of you to keep thinking of me & caring..I cannot thank you enough!! Something truly magnificent is happening here. As you & all these other lovely women have swooped in to support me & speak to this I have seen intentional grace come to life & it is profoundly beautiful! Yes Ania is so spot on! Dear Polish woman that she is. x0x0xDelete

A Haralson County sheriff's deputy and three others were injured Tuesday after a high-speed chase ended with a horrific crash at the Haralson-Carroll county line.
The crash happened after a man tried to avoid a traffic stop and sparked a chase on Ga. 113, the Haralson sheriff's office said in a statement. The stop was initiated after a Bremen police investigator noticed someone driving erratically and alerted Haralson authorities.
The driver was identified as John Adam Brown, 29, of Douglasville.
At one point during the chase, which reached speeds in excess of 75 mph, the man crashed into a patrol car and attempted to ram another patrol car, the sheriff's office said.

Brown was taken to Grady Memorial Hospital. His condition was not released.
His girlfriend, who was a passenger in his car, was taken to Atlanta Medical Center with serious injuries, the statement said.

The Southington Public Library will be holding a contemporary fiction discussion series with Patricia D'Ascoli.
Contemporary fiction normally focuses on giving readers a window into some corner of everyday experience and showing what it would be like to walk in someone else's shoes. Some of the stories may be politically motivated or designed to raise social awareness, while others exist purely for entertainment.
D'Ascoli is an award-winning journalist whose work has been published in Connecticut Magazine, News-Times, and Greater New Milford Spectrum. She publishes the Connecticut Muse which includes a calendar of literary events and information about new releases by Connecticut authors.
D'Ascoli earned her M.S. in English from Southern Connecticut State University and was a recipient of a graduate research fellowship and winner of the inaugural graduate commencement speech writing contest.
She works as an adjunct professor at Lincoln College of New England.
The books are available to borrow from the library. Registration is required. Visit the library website at www.southingtonlibrary.org, click on Calendar or contact the Reference Department at (860) 628-0947, ext. 5.
Here are the selections and dates for the discussion series:
The Paris Wife by Paula McLain: Thursday, Jan. 22, 6:15 p.m. A deeply evocative story of ambition and betrayal, The Paris Wife captures a remarkable period of time and a love affair between two unforgettable people: Ernest Hemingway and his wife Hadley.
The Pilot's Wife by Anita Shreve: Thursday, Feb. 19, 6:15 p.m. Who can guess what a woman will do when the unthinkable becomes her reality? Until now, Kathryn Lyons's life has been peaceful if ordinary: a satisfying job teaching high school in the New England mill town of her childhood; a picture-perfect home by the ocean; a precocious, independent-minded fifteen-year-old daughter; and a happy marriage whose occasional dull passages she attributes to the unavoidable deadening effect of time.
Close Your Eyes, Hold Hands by Chris Bohjalian: Thursday, April 23, 6:15 p.m. This is the story of Emily Shepard, a homeless girl living in an igloo made of garbage bags in Burlington, Vermont. A heartbreaking, wildly inventive, and moving novel narrated by a teenage runaway, from the bestselling author of Midwives and The Sandcastle Girls.

The quality of this video isn't great...but the albums....oh the albums, I cannot imagine having mine that organized. I am a HUGE fan of Quest Love. I've been listening to The Roots since college and love that they are now the house band for Jimmy Fallon.
If you aren't familiar with The Roots you can start here. Crank it up. This was the first album of theirs I bought...and by the looks of it I need to get caught up. I am pretty out of the loop on new music and find myself saying that "rap isn't the same as it used to be" all the time. I do believe that statement though, and feel like late 80s and 90s rap was the greatest of all time. Yup. I'm old.

ECHO PARK — One of Echo Park's last discount stores – E'pack Family Clothing – closed a few weeks ago, with restaurateur Gareth Kantner having previously announced plans to open a new restaurant in the space. But if there are any E'Pack fans out there, they can still get a glimpse of the Sunset Boulevard discount store in Kurt Vile's "Pretty Pimpin" video, which was released in July.
An Echo Park resident who recognized the store interior also noticed some brief shots of Echo Park alleyways and the palms of Laveta Terrace.

I do not often get to photograph maternity sessions, but when I do they are usually pretty special and friends or family that I am photographing for!
This time I photographed for an old friend from home who has moved here with her boyfriend also from home! Such a small world and so fun to catch up with Ashley and meet and learn more about Brian! Ashley and Brian brought sweet touches to the session, ultrasound photos, baby photos, mickey mouse, and onesies. I personally can't wait to meet baby will (mommy's little monster) and have some fun in the city with them! It was so great to catch up with them, and look forward to hanging out again soon! Merry Christmas and Safe travels!

Reasons for Compounding
There are several reasons why pharmacists are called upon to compound prescription medications. The reasons for compounding are noncompliance, unavailable drug and unavailable strength.
Noncompliance is an issue for many patients. The reasons for Noncompliance are often traced back to the medication or dosage form. For one reason or another many patients fail to take their medications correctly. Compounding can help.
Some dosage forms like tablets are hard for patients to swallow. Sometimes tablets get stuck in the throat. For this reason a patient may become non-compliant in taking their medications. Compounding allows the pharmacist to take a medication in a dosage form like a tablet that is hard to swallow and place it into a capsule for the ease of the patient.
Allergies to various excipients in a medication cause problems for sensitive patients. Because of this reason people stop taking their medications. Compounding allows a medication to be made without preservatives, dyes or other sensitizing components. Often a doctor will ask a compounding pharmacist to compound a medication to aid their patient.
Bad taste is another reason a drug may not be taken. Compounding allows a pharmacist to compound a sublingual troche or lozenge, a lollipop, or a transdermal gel. Compounding allows the pharmacist to flavor a medication to make it more palatable.
A drug that must be taken several times a day is another reason for noncompliance. A compounding pharmacist may be utilized to make such a drug into a sustained release capsule. This would allow the patient to take the medication one or two times per day thus increasing compliance.
A second reason a compounding pharmacist is called upon by a doctor to compound is that a particular drug is unavailable. Without the abilities of a compounding pharmacist the patient would be left without recourse. Some drugs that were previously manufactured have been discontinued, not because they were ineffective or harmful but rather because it was too expensive to conduct the required studies to keep it on the market. Pharmaceutical companies are in the business to make money. If a drug is only used by a few patients it becomes unprofitable to keep it on the market. For these reasons compounding pharmacists are helping to fill a medication gap caused by economic factors.
Thirdly a reason for compounding exists because a medication may not be available in a strength that is required. Have you ever asked why most drugs come in only one or two strengths? Common sense says that a 300 pound man should not take the same amount of a drug that a 90 pound youth. The reason most drugs come in just a few strengths is economics again. Each time a different strength is manufactured by a drug company the government demands studies, which are very expensive. Thus the one strength fits all philosophy becomes the norm in medicine. Compounding allows the patient to receive any strength of medication that is right for them.
There are many reasons for compounding but the most important reason is that compounding allows the physician and the patient to decide the correct medical decision based upon limitless possibilities rather than the finite. Compounding is helping patients all over the world. The reason we at Soderlund Village Drug compound is that we want the best for our patients. We have nothing against the drugs made by pharmaceutical companies... they are vitally needed. Rather compounding allows us to give our patients the best healthcare opportunities available.
Reasons for Compounding:
Compounding facilitates compliance
Compounding allows patients to receive drugs that are otherwise unavailable
Compounding allows a patient to receive a strength that is unavailable
Some examples of how compounding is used today:
Compounding natural hormone replacement therapy
Compounding pain medications
Compounding combination therapies like blood-pressure medications
Compounding beauty products
Compounding surgical medications
Compounding food supplements
Compounding male health medications
Compounding women's health medications
Compounding impotence medications
Compounding herbal remedies
Compounding moisturizing lotions
Compounding deodorants
Compounding preservative free medications
Compounding dye free medications
Compounding lactose free medications
The reasons for compounding are endless...

text: Last night I had two dreams in which I was being chased (once by a tour-de-france cyclist in Venice, once by a giant snake in a field, since you ask). I was thinking that being-chased dreams are probably my brain rehearsing escape behaviours – a night-time training programme built in by evolution. Thinking more on it, I realised that I have never had a chasing dream, only being-chased dreams. Is this because being-chased is more adaptive to rehearse, or because of something peculiar to my idiosyncratic psychology? Let's find out, please vote using the poll below:

In August 2016, I traveled to Mozambique. Here I found a different Africa than I had ever experienced. A coastline that looked like Hawaii, the turquoise Indian Ocean full of whales, vibrant fishing communities living off the sea and shore. It's these communities that are the heart and soul of our Spring 2017 Collection.
Our new baskets originate from everyday Mozambican pieces. Using ilala palm leaves that grow along the coast, these baskets typically hold the fresh catch of the day or market produce. Beautiful in their simplicity and the hands that masterfully weave them.

I have a matrix that looks like this:
pub struct Matrix<T> {
pub grid: Vec<T>,
/// constructor
impl<T> Matrix<T> {
pub fn new(data: Vec<T>) -> Matrix<T> {
Matrix { grid: data }
I need to be able to do something like this, something close to the
iloc of Python's pandas if you know what that is (Pandas Cheat sheet):
// m equals a matrix of type Vec<String>
// the matrix is 11 rows 4 columns. I dont want the first row
// because of headers or the first or last column.
// args {cols: Vec<?>||tuple(i64,str,i64), rows: Vec<?>||tuple(i64,str,i64}
let data = m.extract(vec![1,2], (-1,':',))
I have looked at those other libraries and they are great for what they do but I am working on something that these libraries do not accomplish.
The arguments for the extraction is
columns, rows, which I would like to take either a tuple or Vec, but if that is not possible I will settle for a vector. As stated this syntax is derived from python's pandas library which I posted a link to the cheat sheet with reference to the
iloc function. So
vec![1,2] would return me only columns 1 and 2 with index starting at 0. While for the tuple
(-1,':',), I would want to return all rows except the first. So if instead it was
(,':',-1) I would get all the rows except the last.
(1,':',6) would return rows 1-6 including all in between.
(,':',) would return all rows. Which
(0,':',0) and
vec![0] both give only the first row/column except the vector type cannot specify a range.
As for the data structure I want to return is a Matrix like the ones used in the other matrix libraries. A matrix type with rows, columns and data. I am reading in a csv file into a generic Matrix T which I should probably turn into just a String since I doubt I will ever change that. I need to be able to convert the data int the String matrix into f64 and then have a new matrix type hold that to work matrices math on. I still need to keep the
String matrix as a reference to create my own logic to communicate positive or negative feedback(true/false) on fields that contain things like country names by a match or with yes/no in columns.
How would I iterate over this matrix which will contain a
Vec<Vec<T>> to retrieve a specific matrix from it? I have headers, and I want all the data so I need to skip the index of
Matrix.grid[0] but none else.
Do I need to write an
impl Iterator and if so how would this be done? I have seen an example with a different format but do I need lifetimes to accomplish this? Is there anything I need to add the the struct or with a
impl to get the capability to copy, get a
mut ref to all values, a
ref to all values?
I am rather new to Rust and am very eager to learn more. I have read the whole Rust book, taken a course online, but still I find myself lost when dealing with a Matrix.

DH Corporation Shares Soar After Dividend Cut
DH Corporation Slashes Dividend By 62%
Dividend investors need to take notice of DH Corporation Com NPV (OTCMKTS:DHIFF), because the shares are trading seven percent higher.
The uptick in the stock price is due to the board of directors having announced plans to cut the dividend by 62%. The dividend will be reduced from $0.32 to $0.12 effective January 1, 2017. The reason for the dividend cut is the heavy debt load on the balance sheet. (Source: "DH Corporation Announces Reallocation of Capital and Reduction in Dividend to Further its Transformation as a Leading Fintech Company," DH Corporation Com NPV, November 21, 2016.)
DH Corporation originally printed checks for banking customers that is now a full financial technology (fintech) company.
In 2013, DH Corporation, a financial technology (fintech) company, acquired Harland Financial Solutions for $1.2 billion. The deal was done entirely in cash deal and mostly completed by debt. The acquisition gave DH Corporation access to the technology side of Harland's financial business. (Source: "Davis + Henderson Completes Acquisition of Harland Financial Solutions," DH Corporation Com NPV, August 16, 2013.)
How does the future look for DHIFF stock?
The total cost savings by cutting the dividend will be $85.5 million. The funds are intended to be used to reduce debt and focus on share repurchases.
Normally, dividend cuts are not great for dividend investors because they mean less money in investors' pockets. However, in this case, reducing the debt load is a great move, because the lifeline of any company is its balance sheet.
DHIFF stock will continue to satisfy needs for dividend investors and return money via share repurchases. The advantage of share repurchases is that they are a tax-efficient way of returning cash back to shareholders.
Lastly, the future of banking is going to be all digital, and DH Corporation is ready for this changing environment. Banking has become a lot easier over the years, and as new technology comes into play, it will become even simpler.

text: CSR LENDS VALUE TO CORPORATE COMMUNICATIONS Tezpur, April 26: "Public image of a company is in large measure based on how much concern and compassion it has for people at large." This basic ethos of corporate communications intertwined with the seed of Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) was stated by the Chairperson of the Public Relations Society of India (PRSI) Guwahati Chapter, Madhuchanda Adhikari. The seminar on 'Evolving Public Relations' held at the Tezpur University on April 26 was organised by the PRSI Guwahati Chapter in collaboration with the Department of Mass Communication & Journalism (MCJ), Tezpur University, as an extended programme of the National Public Relations Day held earlier on April 21. Addressing the MCJ Department fraternity, Adhikari read out a message from PRSI National President Ajit Pathak on the theme, 'Better PR for effective CSR.' Narrating anecdotes from her career as a Corporate Communication Manager, Adhikari also reiterated her firm conviction in JRD Tata's philosophy – 'No success in material terms is worthwhile unless it serves the needs or interest of the country and its people'. Laying out the finer attributes of corporate gifting as a relationship-building exercise undertaken by all companies, PRSI adviser Nurul I Laskar also stated how corporate gifting could help in the development and sale of our traditional handlooms and handicrafts as a part of company's CSR activities. PRSI editor Juhi P Pathak, who is also the author of a book on 'Media Laws & Ethics', threw light on the ethical aspect of corporate practices. She spoke on straddling the middle path between the PR practitioner's ethical values and the requirements of the company in today's world. PRSI Vice-Chairperson Hamad Berlashker spurred the future media professionals in the gathering to imbibe the nuances of a true leader to become a great communicator. Espousing Mahatma Gandhi's mantra of 'Be the change that you want to see', he drove home the point that communication encapsulates the basics of/ the truth of a message. Ruma Chakraborty, who is associated with a radio channel in Guwahati, spoke on the advantages of reaching out to the stakeholders of a company riding on speed and reach that new age media offers. She interspersed her talk with examples of how an organization can ingrain its CSR policy into its very tagline. Media practitioner Subhamoy Bhattacharjee substantiated his take on crisis management using the tools of communication, which helps as a connect between the community and the organisation. Television personality Chandrakala Choudhury noted the power of television as a mass medium. Citing examples from our day-to-day life, she claimed that television could transform the lives of its audience. Communications official Suchira Nandi Purkayastha spoke on the interdisciplinary attributes of corporate social responsibility and brand-building exercise of a company.Content courtesy: Chandrakala Choudhury April 27, 2015 by Editor Comments are off 2073 viewson Current AffairsShare this post Facebook Twitter Google plus Pinterest Linkedin Mail this article Print this articleTags: CORPORATE COMMUNICATIONS, CSR, GUWAHATI CHAPTER, prsi, TEZPUR UNIVERSITYNext: THE MILEAGE — MAY ISSUEPrevious: PRSI OBSERVES NATIONAL PR DAY WITH FOCUS ON CSR

The world is going to hell. So begins this book, pointing to the prevalence of apocalypse — cataclysmic destruction and nightmarish end-of-the-world scenarios — in contemporary entertainment.
In How to Survive the Apocalypse Robert Joustra and Alissa Wilkinson examine a number of popular stories — from the Cylons in Battlestar Galactica to the purging of innocence in Game of Thrones to the hordes of zombies in The Walking Dead — and argue that such apocalyptic stories reveal a lot about us here and now, about how we conceive of our life together, including some of our deepest tensions and anxieties.
Besides analyzing the dsytopian shift in popular culture, Joustra and Wilkinson also suggest how Christians can live faithfully and with integrity in such a cultural context.
Alissa is the Film Critic at Vox.com and an Associate Professor of English and Humanities at The King's College. Alissa and her husband, Tom, have been active members at our Clinton Hill location pretty much since its inception.
Please join us on November 3 at 12 p.m. for this lunchtime conversation with Alissa to discuss her book and her work. Lunch will be provided and there is a $10 suggested donation.
Please RSVP by emailing Kaytie Eaton at email@example.com.
