New System for Citizens' Preparation for Military Service
According to the Decree of the Government of the Russian Federation from February 3, 2010 No 134-r "Concept for the federal system of citizens' preparation for military service in the period of up to 2020" has been approved. As it is stated in the document, one of the reasons of the concept adoption is "a considerable increase in the requirements to the quality of citizens preparation for the military service", caused by transfer from two-year service to one-year. The "creation of conditions for the guaranteed recruitment of the RF Armed Forces, other kinds of army, military units and bodies by citizens prepared for this both physically and morally, motivated to carry out military service" is claimed to be one of the goals.
According to the Concept, the basic factor defining the ability of a citizen to do a military service is the "condition of his physical development and health", moreover the "low indices of citizens' health" have a negative impact on the level of combat readiness and strength of the military units. That is why in the period of up to 2020 it is suggested to intensify the work on involving the youth into sport, physical education, and improvement of health care of the citizens. Military and patriotic education is recognized as an important factor in recruiting to the Russian army.
The Concept suggests modernizing the whole system of preparation of the citizens to the military service. For instance, the system of the pre-conscription training of the citizens is supposed to start in schools, and physical development and patriotic and military education – in pre-school age. Besides, an identification card will be made to every citizen that is to be conscripted – an e-passport, in which "main parameters defining his real preparedness for military service are reflected". Starting from 10 years and annually the monitoring of citizen's health, physical and psychological development will be carried out. The state bank of the citizens to be conscripted will be formed.
One can only hail the fact that the RF Government has drawn attention to bad health of citizens and is taking measures to improve it. Introduction of e-passport can also be regarded positively. According to the chairwoman of the Union of soldiers' mothers committees such a passport will allow a quick check of the conscript's health and his readiness for military service. Intensification of patriotic and military work will also be beneficial for motivating young people to serve in the army. However, in our opinion there is one more factor influencing the decision to serve in the army.
The Concept mentions "low level of moral and psychological conditions of the majority of citizens connected with the lack of conscious motivation to do military service". It is the social surveys that can give an answer to the question on the "lack of conscious motivation".
According to the data of Levada-centre2, over the last ten years the proportion of people that want their sons, brothers or other close relatives to serve in the army went up from 13% to 34%. At the same time, starting with 2006 it is the violence against younger conscripts in the army, acts of harassment among servicemen, violence in the army that head the list of reasons why the military service is undesirable. One can hardly blame young people for the desire to avoid аn inadequate and uncontrolled thug for whom there is no justice. Besides, future conscripts are not only scared of a possibility to perish or get injured in a military conflict which is only natural but also the deprivation of rights and humiliation from outrank servicemen. This, together with scanty monetary allowance of a conscript, difficult living conditions (which are quite unnecessary for а combat training there being no war), makes clear that such a service cannot suit even a healthy young man.
The conviction that "years spent in the army are lost" is characteristic for no more than 10% of the surveyed and takes only the 7th place among the reason of why the service is not desirable.
Thus, it is obvious that the problem of army recruitment concerns not only the health improvement and sport training of conscripts-to-be, but also in the improvement of conditions of their service and, what is the most important in our opinion, the respect to the conscripts' human dignity. The military service is aimed at improving the defense of the country not at the humiliation of the youth. And it is this very apprehension that instead of doing combat training they will be a toy for an old-timer or lose a year building country-houses for generals for free that p[lay the most important role in forming of reluctance of the young people to do a military service and not the difficulties combined with it. Is not it better than to try to reinforce some order in these issues and make the service more attractive for conscripts as well and not to introduce a choke hold for the growing male population of the country? This would be a guarantee for recruitment of the army.

[Closed] Windowed mode?
Thu, 15 Jul 2004 12:49:47
With me IRC'ing and MSN'ing almost all day, Windowed mode is a must as i'm a MAD multitasker.

I don't see anywhere to set the video to windowed mode anywhere, not in the launcher or anywhere, anywhere. I looked everywhere, unless i'm stupid and it's in an obvious place I missed.

Or maybe it's not implemented?

8-year-old Orlando boy donates bone marrow to his older brother, sister, saving their lives
When a patient needs a bone marrow transplant, it can take some time to find a match.
For one family in Central Florida, a matching donor was right in their own home.
Only on WESH 2 News, Amanda Ober has the heartwarming story of three siblings and a rare gift one of them gave to the other two.
The Aihe family is especially tight-knit, and for good reason.
The youngest of these siblings, 8-year-old Stefan, donated his bone marrow to his big brother, 22-year-old Kingsley, and his sister, 13-year-old Vanessa. The older children were born with sickle cell disease, a deadly illness that decreases blood and oxygen flow throughout the body and can be excruciating to live with.
Kingsley received Stefan's bone marrow through a transplant last November, and is now cured.
"It's kind of a bit of a miracle, in my opinion," Kingsley said.
Vanessa was given a transplant from Stefan a few years earlier and is also cured. Stefan is a young man of few words, but his mom says he was thrilled to donate to his siblings.
"I feel like God did it for us, so we were blessed," his mother said.
Dr. David Shook said a bone marrow transplant is the only cure for sickle cell disease and has a 95 percent success rate.
When the Aihe family decided to pursue the procedure, the doctor said he was stunned to learn young Stefan was a match for both his older siblings..
"It's incredibly rare to have the same donor give to two different siblings. It's uncommon, but it's not impossible," Shook said.
The Aihes and Shook said they want people to know there's a cure for sickle cell disease, and also to encourage everyone to consider becoming a registered donor.
Like young Stefan, you may end up saving a life.

"Working with Jenny was a breath of fresh air in my life. I have been a health nut for years, but on the emotional/spiritual side of health is where Jenny knew where to focus with me. Discussing the relationships in my life, where I can focus more good energy towards and different ways through journaling I can ask my body what It needs to be in optimal health. I am a very spiritual person, and the guidance she gave me around journaling and for listening to my body at this time and giving it what it needs really helped me. Jenny is very knowledgeable about the mind, body and soul and I would recommend her to anyone that needs some nourishing in any and all of the above. "

Maintaining total home comfort during the winter months is one of the biggest concerns for a lot of people. Sure, you'd like that to extend year-round, but when winter gets its coldest, it feels a bit more essential. The scenario typically unfolds like this: your local Wyandotte weatherperson is predicting the coldest day of the year and your furnace decides to start acting up. Now there's no need to panic and call a furnace technician quite yet. There are a few things you can check on your own before calling them.
The other switch to check looks just like a light switch, which could be the root of the problem. It's your furnace switch and should be in the Up, or On, position. Because of its resemblance to a light switch, it can be easily mistaken for one. Once On, give the furnace a few moments to kick on as many systems operate with built-in delays.
Following these few steps before contacting your local Wyandotte technician can help you eliminate the easy things, and if there is still a problem, it allows you to pass on pertinent information to the technician if they end up coming out. Troubleshooting your furnace doesn't have to be difficult, but ensuring you stay within your comfort zone is important too. There's no need to take any gambles and potentially do more damage to your furnace, so once you start feeling a little unsure, give your local furnace technician at Gee & Missler Heating & Air Conditioning in Wyandotte a call.

The Lord is coming as a thief in the night. This is a very important aspect of Christ's coming. It is so important it is mentioned 5 times in the New Testament by Peter, Paul, John and Jesus Christ Himself (Matt. 24:43, 1 Thes. 5:2, 2 Pet. 3:10, Rev. 3:3, 16:15).
The charge here is to watch and be ready (Matt. 24:44). The question is, how do we make ourselves ready (Rev. 19:7)? We first need to ask why Christ would compare Himself to a thief.
In John 10:10 Jesus contrasted Himself to a thief coming to steal, kill and destroy and said that He came to give us life. Jesus isn't contradicting Himself by later calling Himself a thief. He's giving us an awesome picture into what it means to give us life.
This "life" is Christ Himself growing and maturing in us. It is so precious to us, even more precious than our own life. By denying our life, He is able to give us more of His life. This is part of being watchful and it also makes us precious in His sight. See Transformers: More Than Meets The Eye and Gemesis for more on becoming a precious stone 🙂
We now need to ask, "what is precious in the Lord's sight?" One person we can learn from is Daniel. He is very precious to the Lord. He is called a man of preciousness (Dan. 10:11,19). He's even called preciousness itself (Dan. 9:23). What made Daniel precious? There are three characteristics about him we can learn from.
Number 1, he had companions his whole life long. They stood against the tide of that age and stood out from among the rest from their youth. They refused to eat the king's choice food and worship the king's idols.
Number 2, he read the Bible which at that time was the prophet Jeremiah. Particularly, the prophecy about Israel being released from captivity in Babylon and returning to Jerusalem after 70 years. He was alive and well during this part of history and even made history
by his prayer which brings us to…
Number 3, he prayed, every day, at least three times a day. What did he pray for? He prayed what he read. He prayed Jeremiah's prophecy into being. What we learn from this is that God needs man to pray. This is how God moves. Similarly, we have Christ's prophecy that He will return. He isn't lying, He will return, He's just waiting for us to pray, and read, and pray and read some more with more companions.
Why not start right now? Pray "Lord Jesus, I am tired of living for myself and my own interest! Lord, I give myself to You for Your interest! Open Your word to me! Show me what You're interested in! Remind me to read! Remind me to pray! Teach me to pray Your word back to You like Daniel did! Give me companions like Daniel! Make me a man of preciousness like Daniel! Lord Jesus make me precious enough to steal!"

When Michelle Obama paid a visit to "The Late Late Show With James Corden" Monday night, it started out just like the usual Carpool Karaoke segment, with the host sitting behind the wheel and thanking his esteemed guest for helping him get to work.
But when Obama asked about their drive-time tunes, the ride suddenly changed course.
Corden declared that they didn't need any music, which left the former first lady wondering if that's because she outshined him the last time they went for a singalong spin. However, he dismissed her theory on the grounds that the British can't be beat.
There was only one way to settle the USA v. UK bragging rights battle that followed: on the dodgeball court!
Obama assembled her team from an array of talented American big-screen stars, including Allison Janney, Mila Kunis, Melissa McCarthy, Lena Waithe and Kate Hudson.
"You would not believe how easy it was to get people to do this," she said in an aside to the camera. "All I had to say is, 'You're going to throw a ball at James Corden.'"
While Corden had a little more trouble assembling Team UK — he even ended up with one less member than the competition — eventually he hit the court with Harry Styles, Benedict Cumberbatch, John Bradley and his own not-at-all-British bandleader Reggie Watts.
Before the balls took flight in what was billed as a showdown between "the red, white and blue versus ... also the red, white and blue but with a different pattern," Obama gathered her group of actresses together for one of her trademark inspirational speeches.
"Strength is not measured on how you throw the ball," she said. Then putting one hand over her heart, she added, "It is measured in here. When they go low, we also go low — because that's how dodgeball works!"
The women of Team USA appeared to know exactly how it worked as they whittled down the competition quickly in the first set, leaving Styles as the last man standing (or "gone solo all over again," according to the announcer) — that is until Obama took him down with a dodgeball to the groin (or "right in the 1D," according to the same announcer).
The men rallied in the second set, so it all came down to the fierce faceoff in round three.
The Brits started off strong, with Cumberbatch taking out the former first lady with a hit so hard he looked like he feared a visit from the secret service.
But before long, the rest of the ladies cleared the court of the British invaders, and it was all over.
"At the end of the day, what's important is we showed kids that exercise can be fun. That's the big thing," a defeated Corden said.
But the woman behind the Let's Move! initiative pointed out the bigger takeaway of the hilarious day, "You lost. We won."

So, if you decide to be taught guitar or keyboard or drums it does not imply you have to quit bass. I took classes years ago and can learn music however I am out of form and by no means really felt snug enjoying the regular guitar. Music will all the time be a hobby, since I just don't suppose I actually have a natural capability.
When Karen Bass Went To Work In Castro's Cuba
In addition, it provides depth and low-end to the sound. Without the bass, music would sound skinny and lifeless. Unfortunately, the bass guitar is underrated by individuals who don't totally understand its significance. You can apply both bass and guitar without an amp.
In fact, while average bass gamers could also be content with taking a backseat, a good bassist is aware of that his or her job is to hold the band. They provide … Read More

In Xian, the difference between a common peasant or laborer and a person of substance generally comes down to the ownership of real estate. Ordinary workers live in rented rooms and most peasants crop land owned by a distant scholar, serving as tenants on his farms. Artisans may grow very wealthy, and even peasants might be able to store away a few gold coins against trouble, but true acceptance into the better classes requires the ownership of land- and the more of it, the better. Even an adventurer with a backpack full of dwarven gold is no more than a transient gambler until he can point at some estate and call it his own. Those who own no property of their own are considered "landless", while those who do- along with their spouses, offspring, and household family members- are considered "landed".
This distinction between the landed and the landless is an important one to Xianese society. To be without property of one's own is not particularly shameful, but it signals that the landless one is by nature a servant or a retainer of someone else. As a society fundamentally based on agriculture, those who own the greatest expanses of farmland are perforce the wealthiest and most powerful individuals.
This drive to own land is one of the major forces which keeps the population of Xian in flux. Artisans and commoners who are able to put aside some gold often choose to trade the security and wealth of Xian for a hardscrabble existence in some western border village, all so that they can claim some field as their own. The prestige of such ownership is such that even a Xianese magistrate will naturally presume that a landed peasant from south of Highgate is the social superior of a rich city trader who lacks any plot of his own.
There are few formal legal benefits for land ownership but a host of implicit social ones. Entry into the scholarly class of Xianese society is never offered to the landless, nor is any consequential post in city government. The landed automatically receive a certain degree of deference from Xianese officials, and they can expect to take precedence over the landless in official business. The landless are almost never treated as more than tradesmen in their dealings with officials, as hirelings to be bought and dispatched with little consideration for their own desires. Landed sorts, on the other hand, are more often treated as allies to be handled with courtesy and care.
Most scholarly families hold estates or farming villages outside Xian's walls, with ownership passing down through the eldest male offspring. Most also possess their own townhouses or towers within the city. The wealthier members of the princely class often draw a substantial income from large real estate holdings inside the city itself, along with vast swaths of land and farming hamlets elsewhere. The Mandarin himself owns the choicest real estate in Xian and most other major cities, and his personal purse is greatly fattened by the rents.

Each week and for the duration of the season, The Washington Informer will feature our choices for the top five high school basketball programs in the greater Washington area, specifically the District of Columbia State Athletic Association (DCSAA) and Washington Catholic Athletic Conference (WCAC), for their efforts based upon win/loss record, strength of schedule and winning streak:
1. Wilson (33-9) (DCSAA)
After dropping Theodore Roosevelt 71-59 to win the DCIAA championship on Feb. 21, the Tigers went on to defeat private school powerhouse St. John's (Washington, D.C.) 66-64 in a double-overtime thriller on March 3 to win the DCSAA championship as well.
Four Tigers scored in double figures, with senior point guard Ayinde Hikim leading the charge with 21 points.
Wilson junior guard Jay Heath Jr., senior guard Ricardo Lindo, and sophomore small forward Dimingus Stevens all averaged over 13 points per game during the regular season, making Wilson unquestionably the best high school basketball squad in the district.
2. Theodore Roosevelt (29-8) (DCSAA)
Wilson narrowly slipped past Theodore Roosevelt 80-78 on Feb. 28 during the DCSAA quarterfinal match. The Roughriders also fell to Wilson in the DCIAA championship this year, but 29 wins is nothing to scoff at, and it was a successful season nonetheless.
3. DeMatha (26-5) (WCAC)
The Stags are on a roll after defeating Gonzaga 54-53 in the WCAC championship game on Feb. 26.
Sophomore guard Earl Timberlake led the Stags with 14 points while junior guard Justin Moore and sophomore center Hunter Dickinson combined for 23 points. DeMatha is now riding a six-game win streak and is currently competing in the 2018 Maryland Private School Championship.
4. Gonzaga (27-8) (WCAC)
Despite losing to the Stags in the WCAC championship game and to Wilson 66-63 in the DCSAA semifinal on Feb. 1, the Eagles put together a solid season.
Sophomore forward Terrance Williams averaged more than 16 points per game while senior forward Myles Dread pitched in more than 14 points per contest.
5. Friendship Tech Prep Academy (26-4) (DCSAA)
The Titans fell to Maret (Washington, D.C) in the DCSAA quarterfinal match 70-59 on Feb. 28. Senior guard Malik Miller led the way with 28 points while senior guard Kenneth Tyree and freshman combo guard RaSheed Dupree both scored 15 points.
The Washington Informer Top 5 is strictly based upon the opinions of The Informer sports division.

Davis wrote a great recap for another game not a single person got to see and covered a lot of the unusual stats for the game (terrible 3 point shooting, horrible assist margin, horrible free throw shooting, and Granger's 40 minutes). Now, for your stat of the game: 0 games, as in preseason is over. We are now on the final stretch to seeing our Spurs compete for real. I emphasize the seeing part since Stern has mismanaged the viewing of the preseason to no end. Some more after the jump.
Preseason for our Spurs is done, and we finished with a respectable 4-3 record. I say respectable because Pop is apparently the only coach who understands what the preseason is for. Nice 18 point margin of victory in the preseason, Orlando, you really showed us....
So what to take from the preseason:
1. I had lowered my expectations for Blair because he is a rookie. He shattered them. He was the leading rebounder per 48 minutes for all of preseason at 21.3 caroms. Sure, a lot of vets aren't playing as hard or as long as the regular season, but its impressive nonetheless. Griffin was 29th with 13.9 rebounds. Thabeet was 56th with 11.9. Rebounds for Blair translate to points, but he is there to rebound so I won't go too much into his other achievements just yet. How many of us could have imagined a 28 point performance on the road for him going into preseason though?
2. RJ, Ratliff, and Dice all showed value at different points in the preseason. In the home games, I saw Bogans play some good D too.
3. Hill might be able to compete for the most improved player award if he gets 20 minutes a game or so. His transformation is amazing. His shot is so smooth. He can finish in the paint and get to line. He was 12th in efficiency for all guards with players like Kobe, Chris Paul, Wade, and Kevin Martin above him. That is some impressive company for a backup point guard in his second season.
4. Duncan's new knee brace seems effective and his slimmed down body looks ready for the regular season. Some people weren't happy that he lead in assists last night. Get over it. Duncan will average over 4 assists per game this season. He has so many weapons that he can just pick teams apart if they try to cheat off their man.
5. Manu looks ready to compete. It may take a few games for him to get his sharping and shooting as crisp as we are used to, but he highlight reeled quite a few plays this preseason showing all of instincts are still there.
6. Oh yeah, our top 5 point guard, Tony Parker, showed up for a couple games and took some teams apart. He is going to kill teams this year.
7. Finley, Mason, and Bonner are 3 of the best roleplayers the Spurs have ever had. Sure, they aren't the best defenders, but any one of them could lead us in scoring on any given night. That is scary good on offense for the team.
Sorry, I devolved this into a preseason wrap-up but not getting to see the Pacers game made this a somewhat noneventful game. Someone might want to write another real wrap up, but I promise the season will focus more on true stats with these posts when Fred and I can watch the games. 4 days away.....Go Spurs Go!

In Barcelona Spain a group that tracks social trends has released a statement that over the last two years, the popularity of poker with younger adults is waning. They go on to say that the poker hit its peak in 2005 and is now in a steep slide. Citing decreasing ratings for televised poker as well as fewer online poker sites due to UIGEA, they go on to say that poker has just lost its luster.
The owner of the social trends website, Jane Collier says: "Poker is a classic American game with deep traditions in the United States, but younger people these days seem more interested in video games, cell-phones, and television". She continued by stating: "On the surface, playing poker was the trendy thing to do for many people - that trend has gone away."
Right. Apparently Jane hasn't been to Full Tilt Poker or Poker Stars lately. The latter site just shattered the record for the largest online poker tournament with the Poker Stars WCOOP Main Event with a staggering $10.925 million dollar prize pool and 2,185 entries to the event. Yes, online poker is certainly losing steam.
For many people, their perception becomes reality and poker is not immune to this. There will always be opponents and proponents of the game but to say that interest is waning? The numbers don't lie and by almost all accounts, the game of poker is still very much alive and kicking.

As I meander down today's literary path, my mind's in a poetic place. The catalyst to these notions yours truly's inability to shake the refrain The Way We Were from my neurological corridors.
The Alan Peterson/Marilyn Peterson/Marvin Hamlisch Academy Award winning collaboration currently repeat playing in my cranial jukebox. The tune, mooted as resurrecting Barbra Streisand's career, penned for the 1973 eponymously named movie.
The refrains mood, pace and narrative underpinned with a melancholy borne from the capricious relationship played out by Streisand and Robert Redford's characters. Words talking of memories and what might have beens; beautifully and emotively sung by the New York born diva.
What actually catapulted these song lyrics into my conscious mind is uncertain. However, I suspect the notion was partly driven by housesitting my marital home for the last week. A domain where I'd lived for twenty three years prior to, fourteen months ago, escaping a toxic marriage; moving out to live at my mothers abode.
Despite that toxicity and lingering negativity, I've many happy memories of this place, which I'm currently housesitting at the request of my estranged wife. Episodes which metaphorically brought cheese, wine and a container of salt & vinegar flavoured Pringles.
This a house that was never short of laughter. Although the frequency diminished somewhat after the kids fled the nest. My (now) estranged wife's cancer diagnosis and me trying to usurp her misery by suffering a heart attack quite understandably reigned in the residence's brio levels.
It'd be fair to say Karen and me were never enjoyed a loving, affectionate marriage. Our idea of a date night indoors was to load the dishwasher together. Although occasionally the romance took to a higher plateau in the shape of emptying it after the wash'd concluded.
I'm not bitter, though….. Ok then, I clearly must be a bit bitter. After all, I'd not be sharing such candid revelations if I was fully over the situation.
I've no memories of a loving marriage, but I have a plethora of recollections of happy times despite being party to this mismatched betrothal. Top of that list the two fantastic children we raised.
Things definitely weren't all that bad. After all, her mum and dad hardly visited, which was a boon. Their daughter suffering from incurable cancer at 44 couldn't even send them the 90 miles down the A1 to visit their stricken offspring our their grandchildren……Nah, I'm not bitter!!
Right, yours truly is feeling romantic, I'm off to fill the dishwasher with my breakfast pots…… I'll leave you with the aforementioned emotive lyrics of Peterson/Peterson & Hamlisch's refrain, The Way We Were………..
Light the corners of my mind
Misty watercolor memories
Of the way we were
Scattered pictures
Of the smiles we left behind
Smiles we gave to one another
For the way we were
Can it be that it was all so simple then
Or has time rewritten every line?
If we had the chance to do it all again
Tell me, would we? Could we?
May be beautiful and yet
What's too painful to remember
We simply choose to forget
So it's the laughter
We will remember
Whenever we remember
The way we were
The way we were

Bank of Spain reports 40'000 foreclosures, 2'400 evicitions in 2012
Earlier this week members of the Platform of People Affected by Mortgages (PAH) occupied the head offices of Banco Popular, in Barcelona, in protest over the bank's refusal to renegotiate mortgages where the foreclosure process in already underway.
The spokesperson of the organization Ada Colau, said that they are dealing with 650 cases of unemployed workers which lost their jobs because of the economic crisis, and now are facing evictions. It is a "political" matter, she noted, adding that the practice represented "a massive violation of human rights".
Another spokesperson of PAH referred to a similar situation in Bank of Spain. She said that, although there was a written agreement with the bank, signed on February 28, to start talks about refunding mortgages, extending payback periods, and lowering interest rates, the bank failed to honour their agreement.

A recent study by the Bank of Spain has reported how 2,405 families were forcibly evicted from the homes last year, with a further 39,167 properties changing hands as a result of foreclosures. Of these, 22,000 were voluntary evictions as previous owners have abandoned their houses to the banks not being able to meet their obligations. The remaining cases had to be discussed in the courts and were the result of a judicial order.

The same report was also at pains to emphasise how this situation is not reflective of the entire Banking system for the country.

Motherhood Dementia: Hormonal Brain Baths
by admin
Has your brain gone down the hopper? Many women wonder if they've developed adult onset ADHD at some point during motherhood, but the cause often differs depending on age. Here are the most common reasons that attention can wax and wane before age thirty-five (on average):
1. Multitasking—Forget it. Multitasking divides your attention and makes everyone less focused and therefore, less effective. Women are capable of multitasking thanks to our unique ability to use several different parts of our brain at once.
2. Anxiety—Anxiety makes our thoughts jump around and promotes divided attention. Relaxation techniques, exercise, and meditation are the best, healthy ways to decrease mild anxiety.
3. Sleep deprivation—Research has shown that sleep deprivation can cause lapses in attention and impaired judgment similar to alcohol intoxication. Snooze to improve your higher cognitive functioning skills.
After Age Thirty-Five: Perimenopause/Menopause
Our brains are dipped in varying amounts of hormones during different life stages. Female hormones have obvious roles in reproduction, but many women don't know that these hormones significantly affect mood and concentration. Here's how:
Estrogen: This hormone has antidepressant effects and promotes concentration and attention.
Progesterone: This hormone has mood stabilizing, calming effects. It lowers anxiety and irritability. As noted on The Oprah Show yesterday, an excess of progesterone can also cause depression. Too little can promote high anxiety and irritability.
Testosterone: Increases sex drive, motivation, and initiative. Young women who model and are below healthy weight can develop relative testosterone surplus due to decreased estrogen and progesterone levels. This can cause aggressive behavior, a boy lie figure, hirsutism (hair in places you don't want it), and other health concerns.
Hormonal imbalances should be considered if you feel unusually blue, anxious, or scattered. Consider this possibility if you feel you fit the above descriptions and see a physician.

Dark Matter Fans Rally to Find New Home for Season 4
The Raza took a massive hit on Friday, September 1, when it was announced that Dark Matter would be ending its run on Syfy and Space Channel after three seasons. The TV Junkies have made it no secret that we're big fans of the series, especially this past Season 3, so to say we were disheartened by the news is a bit of an understatement.
However, in true Dark Matter fashion, fans immediately began a rallying cry for the show to be picked up by another network. Not long after a campaign for Netflix began to emerge, leading to a very Three-esque hashtag to become a trending topic on Twitter in Canada Wednesday night.
#ItsBubbaTime at Number 1 in Canada! pic.twitter.com/LK9wwVULGm
— Joseph Mallozzi (@BaronDestructo) September 7, 2017
Unfortunately, time is limited in getting Netflix on board. Co-creator Joseph Mallozzi has been very candor on his blog regarding the reasoning behind Dark Matter cancellation, and the likelihood of it being picked up by another network. He has confirmed that the fan response has gotten the attention of network decision-makers, but there's still a ways to go in convincing them.
"At this point, the biggest thing we've got working against us is time," Mallozzi wrote. "The longer this goes, the more likely we are to lose some of our greatest assets."
Those assets are the cast and crew, who can only go for so long without lining up new jobs, and the set, which will be too costly to rebuild if the time comes to take it down. This means there's a very limited window for it to be picked up.
So what can fans do to convince the powers that be? Here's what you need to know:
There is a major Twitter campaign scheduled for Friday, September 9, led by user @DarkMatterFTL, at 9 p.m. ET/6 p.m. PT. A special hashtag will be provided to use during the one-hour period, and fans are encouraged to tweet gifs, art, witty remarks using that hashtag (and only that hashtag, since tweets with multiple hashtags won't be tracked). Trending topics are the best way to get attention from networks and speed along any major decisions.
In the meantime, fans with a Netflix subscription can stream the first two seasons if available in their regions. Continuing the conversation on social media remains a big help.
Bottom line? Carry on the rally cry for Season 4 and keep your voices heard.
Are you a fan of Dark Matter? Sound off in the comments below why you believe the series deserves a Season 4.

Several turtles in Japan are in constant danger every year as they get stuck in train tracks as they slowly cross the railways. Some of them were able to survive while others are crushed by train or by the railway's mechanism when they get stucked between the rails and when they are not able to climb it. Unfortunately, this occurrences are not only dangerous for these turtles, but also for humans who are on the train. These may also cause a delay or malfunction on the train's mechanism.
Due to these reçurring events, the West Japan Railway Company, coordinated with Suma Aqualife Park in Kobe, Japan and organized and implemented a new and safer way for turtles in crossing these railways. The newly assembled and set-up little channels or escape ditches are placed underneath the train tracks.

Tamil Nadu finally got a representation in the Union Government with the swearing in of state BJP president L. Murugan on Wednesday. The biggest loser, however, was the BJP's staunch ally -- the AIADMK-- as none of its representatives figured in today's Ministerial list.
The most disappointed AIADMK leader would be former Deputy CM O. Panneerselvam since he was fervently hoping that his son O.P. Ravidranath, the lone Lok Sabha MP from the AIADMK front, would be made a Minister of State.
O. Panneerselvam, who is the coordinator of the AIADMK, issued a statement affirming his party's faith in the leadership of Narendra Modi. "Considering the interest of the nation and the welfare of Tamil Nadu, the AIADMK-BJP alliance will continue and there is no second opinion on this," he had asserted.
Panneerselvam's observation came as a retort to former Law Minister C.V Shanmugam who had blamed the alliance with the BJP as the reason for the AIADMK's defeat in the recent Assembly elections. Shanmugam had, during a party meeting, alleged that the AIADMK lost the minority votes due to its alliance with the BJP. However, OPS was quick to refute that line to state that the alliance with the BJP remained intact and would continue. Despite that assertion by OPS, the non-inclusion of his son or any AIADMK Rajya Sabha MP in the Central ministry would rankle the AIADMK. The party has not had a union minister since it walked out of the Vajpayee-led NDA government in 1999. In 2014 though it had won 37 of the 39 Lok Sabha seats, Modi, in his first term, did not need the AIADMK's support as the BJP had a comfortable majority.
The BJP has, however, rewarded its Tamil Nadu state president L. Murugan for having helped the party re-enter the state Assembly with four MLAs after nearly twenty years. Murugan himself lost narrowly to the DMK candidate in the Dharapuram constituency. The BJP had contested twenty seats as part of the AIADMK led front. The 44-year-old lawyer belongs to the very backward Arunthadhiyar sub-sect of Scheduled Caste and was a surprise choice to lead the state unit. His elevation is also aimed at undoing the image that the BJP was dominated by forwarding communities.
Murugan had successfully spearheaded the BJP's Vel yatra in the state after a rationalist outfit had demeaned "Kanda Sashti Kavasam" a Tamil hymn in praise of Lord Muruga. The BJP leadership now has to accommodate Murugan in the Rajya Sabha from some other state, since all the three present vacancies from Tamil Nadu will be taken by the DMK. And it also needs to find a new state chief for Tamil Nadu.

DuPont Sees Meeting Estimates
(DD) - Get Free Report
said its third-quarter earnings should be in line with Wall Street's estimates, but that's before charges of about 42 cents a share the company expects to record.
Analysts surveyed by Thomson First Call are looking for a profit of 29 cents a share with revenue of $6.1 billion in the quarter.
The Wilmington, Del., chemicals firm said it will repatriate about $9.4 billion of cash from foreign operations by the end of the year under the American Jobs Creation Act. DuPont will record an accrual for the associated taxes of around 32 cents a share in the third quarter.
DuPont also noted that five of the company's operating sites were in the path of Hurricane Katrina. Three had minimal damage and have resumed operations. No significant structural damage occurred at the two remaining sites, but electrical systems and instrument controls were extensively affected.
The company had nine manufacturing sites in Hurricane Rita's path, but seven incurred little or no damage and have resumed operations. Two were more seriously damaged, but both are structurally sound and environmentally secure.
DuPont is estimating that third-quarter costs will amount to $150 million, or 10 a cents share, for clean-up, restoration of manufacturing operations, lost inventory and humanitarian assistance. In addition, the company believes it will need to make capital investments of around $115 million to restore or replace damaged equipment.
