So many people I talk to about oil cleansing will admit to not fully understanding the concept, let alone have tried it! So I am hoping to fly the little “oil cleansing” flag and try get some new friends for this amazing cleansing method that could work wonders for your skin. What is the oil cleansing method? Well oil cleansing is just that, it is a method of cleansing the face using oil or at least oil based products.
And I know that even just the description will have some people saying “oh no, no, not for me I have oily skin that’s the last thing I need!” but this is not the case my friend, not the case at all.
So just to put a bit of background to the story! A lot of the time mainstream cleansers play a role in stripping the natural oils from our skin, which then can make the skin feel tight, and cause the skin over-produce natural oils to counterbalance the initial stripping of the natural oils. It can tend to be a viscous cycle and leaves your skin feeling dehydrated not long after cleansing, but then a follow up of feeling like you have a build up of oil on your face over time. Not cool!
The concept of oil cleansing is an ancient tradition, which existed before soap became commercially available. It works on the method that oil is used to cleanse the skin by entering the pores, dissolving any oil hardened by impurities like dirt and bacteria, a hot face cloth laid over the face then creates steam which draws out and removes the oil. So, basically like attracts like! Acne.org explains the science bit very well! “The best way to dissolve a non-polar solvent like sebum/oil, is by using another non-polar solvent similar in composition”.
The method itself centres around massaging oil into the skin for at least 2 minutes, then using a warm face cloth to remove & cleanse away excess oil and impurities. Oil cleansing method in conjunction with double cleansing is the way forward! Using a Cleanse Off Mitt to do an initial cleanse (you have to read the Skin Nerds blog on this and you will never look back!) and then using a suitable oil-based cleanser to definitively remove any excess make up, sunscreen, sweat or dirt will ensure that your skin is well and truly squeaky clean! Our Peachy Aloe Vera Based cleanser is in fact an aloe vera and oil-based cleanser. We use a blend of oils low on the comedogenic scale (meaning the they do not clog your pores) to nourish and moisturise your skin while providing a thorough cleanse.
I feel like I’m always quoting the same fact, but it is true that we absorb up to 60% of what we put on our skin. And that means it goes into our bodies, and sometimes the ingredients of products can have a lasting, damaging effect.
So, because we are basically living in the costa del Ireland at the moment, which has been A MAY ZING!! I have been getting a few questions about the danger of sunscreen and the benefits of maybe choosing a natural alternative!
The active ingredients in sunscreen can be mineral based or chemical based, chemical based means it has the potential to enter the blood stream (which makes me shudder even writing that). Mineral sunscreens contain things like zinc oxide (non-nano) and titanium dioxide and they create a physical barrier to protect the skin from the sun. You know when you see cricket players or surfers with their noses covered with a thick layer of “cream” – usually zinc oxide! It physically blocks/diverts the rays of the sun.
Chemical sunscreens do as they say on the tin, they use chemicals. The Environmental Working Group (EWG) say chemicals in sunscreen can be classified as endocrine disruptors, estrogenic and can interfere with thyroid and other hormone processes.
But we are lucky we live in Europe, as we have the Scientific Committee on Consumers Safety (SCCS) which provides recommendations on the safety of cosmetic products. As sunscreen is something that comes into contact with our skin it is considered a “cosmetic product” and falls under the SCCS. The committee makes some guidelines in relation to the standard of sunscreen and the UVA and UVB protection including the minimum allowed = SPF6, UVA protection must be 1/3 of UVB (Pirotta G, 2015) .
We now have good access to mineral sunscreen which protects against UVA and UVB and in the most do not penetrate the skin barrier or act as hormone disruptors. In the US they are still waiting for some of these less toxic options to be regulated and made available…. insert eye roll here!
I think what most people are concerned about is an ingredient called oxybenzone. Oxybenzone is one of the most common ingredients in chemical sunscreen available in the US – pretty worrying when it has been linked to hormone disruption and mentioned in links to endometriosis in women. Oxybenzone is one of the reasons you see warnings against children or pregnant breastfeeding women using sunscreens with it as an ingredient!
Overall, in my opinion, there are some great natural mineral based sunscreens out there and they really do work! Some don’t have it just right yet, they are very heavy in the physical barrier element and can be difficult to rub in and can leave that pasty look, others can split meaning the oil-based element comes apart from the other ingredients so make sure to give the tube a good shake before dispensing! Regular reapplication is also very important.
So, if it is a possible option for you then maybe give one a go! All sunscreen serves a purpose, a very important purpose, but sometimes we should really be aware of the consequences of that purpose. Asking questions like will It cross the skin barrier? Will it have hormone disrupting properties etc, are sometimes genuinely worth asking.
My Low Tox Journey ..... so far!
Ok so, I started making a conscious effort in January of this year. I had wanted to do something like this for a very long time. Over the years I was just becoming so aware of the potential affect the ingredients in our skincare can have on our health (hence Peachy!). I started to read more and more papers/articles highlighting the potential affect of plastic on our health, and I just thought, ok I’m going to give this a go!
One of the first changes I made was with my little boy, most days we head off for walks around our home town and I always bring a little food bag with some fruit, water and a little sandwich. I used to use plastic sandwich bags for storage, but then I made the switch to using little paper bags. Very small change but it was a start none the less! And so on from there it went.
Listen, I don’t want to get all technical and “sciencey” on you about the effect of plastic in food alone for example, other than to say quite simply, the containers do not just “hold” your food for you. The type of plastic the food is held in has the potential to leach into the food product, and when ingested, this chemical is not exactly an ideal thing to have in your body. I’ve put some links to some articles and papers at the bottom if anyone is interested in reading into it in more detail. Some of the newspaper articles are a little scare mongering, this is a relatively new area of research, so read with an open mind.
I am always amazed each week at how so much of our food is provided in plastic containers, fruit, veg, sliced ham, cheese, pre packed meats …..you get my drift! When we do a “big shop” I remove all the plastic packaging from the food, and transfer the different items into either glass/wood or stainless-steel bowls. We changed from plastic cooking utensils to stainless steel, one of my first steps was to bin all the plastic ones! So many changes can be made, to reduce chemicals even making your own antibacterial sprays for the kitchen and bathroom see www.facebook.com/peachynaturalskincare for recipes! There are biodegradable toothbrushes out there! Made from corn starch no less or bamboo! For little man Peachy we use Jack and Jill corn starch toothbrush and they also have a natural toothpaste all available on www.earthmother.ie. Even buying fruit and vegetables from smaller grocers where there is little to no packaging helps, and making your own sugar/salt scrubs at home to try to avoid microbeads are all small steps that make big changes!
Don’t get me wrong, I’m not milking my own cows out the back garden or anything, but I’m just trying a more natural approach. I do believe it all makes a difference somewhere along the way and sure it’s not hurting anyone! And listen there are times when I still end up having to use plastic, we haven’t thrown out all of the plastic Tupperware just yet ….. Mr. Peachy is holding firm on that one lol. But my point is I believe in this approach, I am doing what I can to make it work for our day to day life, and I just wanted to share the journey! There has been a positive response so far, with a good few people also trying to make changes now too!

Microbeads - it's not us.... it's you!
Recently there has been an awful lot of kerfuffle about these teeeeeeny tiiiiiiny little chaps called microbeads. Sure, if they are so small what harm can they do I hear you say? Well let’s just say safety in numbers does not apply here.
In most cases the little things you feel on your face and body when you exfoliate? They’re microbeads. A microbead is a piece of plastic, less than 2mm in size, that you will find in most every day personal care products including wait for it ….. toothpaste!
One of the main problems is that these little guys are not biodegradable, meaning they cannot be broken down by environmental or bacterial factors and so they become a pollutant to the environment. Its estimated that 100’s of 1000’s of them go down the drain each time you exfoliate in the shower, or brush your teeth. They have also been known to absorb toxins, meaning they can be potentially harmful to humans and wildlife depending on where they end up in the environment.
According to GreenPeace, around 8 million tonnes of plastic enters the ocean every year. I find this figure staggering, this is HUGE! And what is worse, is the plastic ends up being ingested by marine wildlife putting them all at risk. Have you ever seen that video of the turtle that had a straw stuck in its nostril? It sounds funny …… it’s not, it’s terrible & had he not been rescued he would have died. The BEAT THE MICROBEADS campaign is fantastic, and has led the good fight in this problem resulting in a large number of multintational companies promising to end their use of microbeads within the next few years….. which is a pretty long time no?
Here is a link to a clip that gives a good idea of the impact of microbeads on the environment.
Natural Skincare and me …..a love affair to last a lifetime.
Growing up I didn’t have the most amazing skin on the block but I didn’t have the worst either so I figured I faired ok. I think someone looking down felt sorry for me enough I already had glasses, braces & thought it was uber-cool to slick my hair back each day with Dax wax ….. yep, the male hair product…. I’m just going to let that hang there for a second.

Several years ago when I was working in Ballston, I remember the novelty of the lone Pupatella food truck that people would line up around at lunchtime. Today, with nearly 200 food trucks roving the DC-Metro area, the competition is fierce. On any given weekday around DC, rolling restaurateurs stake their claim (my favorite mobile food court is Farragut Square) to feed the hungry buttoned up masses. Now, some of DC’s favorite food trucks are getting creative and heading west to wine country. As the weather warms up, several wineries are hosting these roving gourmets, allowing them to offer customers more than the usual fruit and cheese platter and encouraging them to linger longer and drink more wine. For the food trucks, this brings in additional revenue and builds a fan base on the weekend that can carry over during the workweek when people head back to the city.
This year, food trucks will play a prominent role at Vintage Virginia, one of the largest wine tasting events in northern Virginia. They even have a food truck called the Rolling Vineyard which will carry charcuterie, smoked salmon, and mezze platters to compliment the unending supply of wine at the event. Be sure to check out Captain Cookie and the Milkman which is one of my favorites – their homemade ice cream sandwiches are to die for!
What I love about this is unlike the weekday where I’m usually a grab-n-go kind of gal, I can actually bring a blanket, sip a glass of wine (or two), and enjoy dining al fresco.

Those of us who just filed our taxes, or paid our bills, or calculated our monthly expenditures know the importance of having a solid base of financial literacy. For students, it's just as important to have this base knowledge to prepare them for the real world, so in observation of Financial Literacy Month, here are a few resources to get those fiscal gears turning.
The new BetterMoneyHabits.com is the result of a partnership between Bank of America and the Khan Academy. While the link between behemoth bank and startup nonprofit might seem a strange marriage of company cultures, the combination of the former’s reach and credibility with the latter’s experience developing online video resources makes logical sense.
So far, the site features a 13-video selection on topics more likely suitable for high school and college students (and even adults), including creating and managing your own personal budget, understanding interest, understanding mortgages, digging yourself out of debt, and preparing financially for unpredictable tough times.
Visa’s financial literacy program features what has been a growing number of free online game titles accessible to a wide range of student ages. The simplest include a drag-and-drop game where players select which coins to deposit into a piggy bank to build up the most money, and puzzles that challenge players to assemble pieces on a screen into paper currency.
Among the more complex titles, "Financial Football" and "Financial Soccer" are geared toward sports fans ages 11 and up, where players assume control of their favorite teams or countries in a simulated game where the outcome of each play is decided based on how students answer finance-related questions. Then there's “Countdown to Retirement,” which might remind some of the time when Cliff gave Theo a financial lecture about being one of the "regular people."
This series of five fiscally driven online games comes from the Doorways to Dreams Fund, a nonprofit organization with the stated mission of helping low-income Americans use their limited resources more wisely through the development of new products and policies. Players help a vampire nightclub owner invest his profits and save for retirement in "Bite Club," try to reform the wasteful habits of the rich and famous in "Celebrity Calamity," and prepare for the inevitable but unpredictable famines, droughts, and other disasters in "Farm Blitz."
The series has actually been the subject of relatively recent academic research that has found, at the very least, that young adults who were exposed to such games are capable of learning better fiscal habits as a result. The series actually targets young adults, but should be understood by high school-age students as well.
For those parents or teachers who want a more structured and deeper delve into the subject of fiscal literacy, PricewaterhouseCoopers offers a nine-unit curriculum free online, with most units offered in separate formats for upper elementary, middle, and high school students.
While the bulk of the curriculum's reading lessons, worksheets, and assessments comes in PDF form, there are also 11 streaming videos, with about half of those directed toward students in grades 3-5. Units range from basic subjects like credit and debt, and savings and investment, to more specialized pursuits like home buying and paying for college.
For those of you looking for more financial literacy help, the Jump$tart Coalition for Personal Financial Literacy's website can offer some direction. Its most helpful feature might be its online clearinghouse, which allows users to search for fiscally based education resources (print, digital, and audio/visual) by title, keyword, provider, grade level, or even appropriateness for special-needs students. Not all resources in the clearinghouse archives are free, but many are.
The site also offers web links to national standards on financial literacy and survey data on the financial acumen of American high schoolers and young adults, though both documents date back to the latter portion of the last decade.

SpannedGridLayouManager is a layout manager that will resize and reorder views based on a provided SpanSize.
IMPORTANT: as the goal of this LayoutManager is to fill all gaps if possible, views may be placed in an order which may not be related to their positions. That is, if View #9 can fill a gap before View #8, it will be placed in an previous position, ignoring the normal ordering.
An Orientation: Orientation.VERTICAL or Orientation.HORIZONTAL.
The span count to divide the layout.
If the logic needed to calculate this values is very complex, they can be cached by setting spanSizeLookup.usesCache = true or spanSizeLookup.setUsesCache(true). If you need to invalidate them, just call spanSizeLookup.invalidateCache().
As this LayoutManager may change the order in screen of its items, it has some issues with restoring scroll position when the sizes of the items change drastically. To work around this, restoring the scroll position when recreating this LayoutManager is disabled by default.
Just use the new SpanLayoutParams instead of generic RecyclerView.LayoutParams.
Sadly, due to more limitations of the initial design and bugs, most of the LayoutManager's layouting and recycling process had to be re-written. This depended on some breaking API changes since otherwise there would have been lots of unnecessary recycling of views and performance loss when the spans are calculated.
Because of this, while you would set the SpanSizes using SpanLayoutParams, these are no longer needed. You can safely delete those from your adapter.
Instead of that, you must use the SpannedGridLayoutManager.SpanSizeLookup like you would do with a GridLayoutManager. You can find more info on the Usage section.
Use setHasStableIds(true) in your adapter.
Override getItemId method to return a stable id - that is, it won't change for the same position.
Use adapter.notifyDatasetChanged() to trigger the layout process.
This library uses Rects to find the empty gaps and choose where a view will be placed. The underlying algorithm is explained in this paper.
Initially, there will be 1 free-space Rect (0, 0, spanCount, Int.MAX_VALUE) for Orientation.VERTICAL or (0, 0, Int.MAX_VALUE, spanCount) for Orientation.HORIZONTAL.
When a view must added, it will search for the free rects that are adjacent to the view's Rect or that intersects it.
For each of that subrects, if none of the previously stored adjacent free rects and none of the rects in the list of free rects intersects with it, it will be added to this list as a valid free rect.
You can see this code in SpannedGridLayoutManager's subtract(Rect) method.
They aren't that bad, but they're also not great for huge amounts of items and could cause performance issues if you have infinite scrolling. I will try to improve this and calculate rects by batches, although this might not give exact results in the placement of the views.

sadly, due to more limitations of the initial design and bugs, most of the layoutmanager's layouting and recycling process had to be re-written. this depended on some breaking api changes since otherwise there would have been lots of unnecessary recycling of views and performance loss when the spans are calculated.
because of this, while you would set the spansizes using spanlayoutparams, these are no longer needed. you can safely delete those from your adapter.
instead of that, you must use the spannedgridlayoutmanager.spansizelookup like you would do with a gridlayoutmanager. you can find more info on the usage section.
use sethasstableids(true) in your adapter.
override getitemid method to return a stable id - that is, it won't change for the same position.
use adapter.notifydatasetchanged() to trigger the layout process.
this library uses rects to find the empty gaps and choose where a view will be placed. the underlying algorithm is explained in this paper.
initially, there will be 1 free-space rect (0, 0, spancount, int.max_value) for orientation.vertical or (0, 0, int.max_value, spancount) for orientation.horizontal.
when a view must added, it will search for the free rects that are adjacent to the view's rect or that intersects it.
for each of that subrects, if none of the previously stored adjacent free rects and none of the rects in the list of free rects intersects with it, it will be added to this list as a valid free rect.
you can see this code in spannedgridlayoutmanager's subtract(rect) method.
they aren't that bad, but they're also not great for huge amounts of items and could cause performance issues if you have infinite scrolling. i will try to improve this and calculate rects by batches, although this might not give exact results in the placement of the views.

LUNGDON by Edward Carey will be published by Hot Key Books on 11 August 2016. LUNGDON is the gloriously ghastly climax to Carey’s gothic IREMONGER TRILOGY. The first book of the trilogy, HEAP HOUSE, was a Kirkus Reviews ‘Best Teen Book of 2014’ and a New York Times Book Review Editor’s Choice.
The Iremongers are a sinister family dynasty who have made a fortune from a city’s junk. Now they are at large in London, the ruins of Foulsham left burning behind them. They need a new home and they intend to find one. Londoners are beginning to notice bizarre happenings in their city – loved ones disappearing, strange objects appearing and a creeping darkness that seems to swallow up the daylight. The Police have summoned help, but is their cure more deadly than the feared Iremongers? What role will our hero Clod play: returning son or rebel? What of the flame-haired orphan Lucy Pennant? And where are all the rats coming from…?
The Iremonger trilogy is published in thirteen countries. Edward Carey has recently visited the Auckland Festival in New Zealand and toured Italy to talk about his acclaimed trilogy. In Italy he has also had exhibitions of the Iremonger characters and at the Milanesiana Festival he was awarded the Fernanda Pivano Prize, previously won by Joyce Carol Oates, Michael Cunningham, and Michael Chabon, among others. See some images here.
‘IREMONGER torques and tempers our memories of Dickensian London into a singularly jaunty and creepy tale of agreeable misfits. Read it by gas lamp, with a glass of absinthe at your wrist and a fireplace poker by your knee.’ – Gregory Maguire, author of WICKED.
‘Channels Dickens crossed with Lemony Snicket... a Gothic tale in turns witty, sweet, thoughtful and thrilling—but always off-kilter—and penned with gorgeous, loopy prose. Suspense and horror gradually accumulate into an avalanche of a climax… magnificently creepy.’ —Kirkus Reviews.
Edward is a novelist, visual artist and playwright. His debut novel OBSERVATORY MANSIONS (with his illustrations) is sold in 14 countries and was described by John Fowles as 'proving the potential brilliance of the novel form'. Born in England, he teaches at the University of Austin, Texas.

Three people were injured in a traffic accident September 3 at the corner of East Broad Street and Central Avenue, when their car struck two trees near the side windows of The Gap clothing store.
The 1990 Buick, driven by Frank Burns, 80, of Linden, was traveling westbound on East Broad Street when he attempted to turn onto Central Avenue at 10:16 a.m., authorities said.
According to Detective Sergeant John Parizeau of the Westfield Police Department, Mr. Burns failed to yield to eastbound traffic and clipped a 1994 Chevrolet Wagon operated by Linda Messina, 43, of Westfield as he made the turn. She was not injured.
The Buick traveled up onto the sidewalk, knocking down a small tree before coming to rest against a larger tree several yards away near the curb on Central Avenue. The impact demolished the front of the vehicle. No one on the sidewalk was injured.
Mr. Burns and his two passengers, Rita Eisenkerch, 74, and Susan Eisenkerch, 41, also of Linden, sustained head injuries in the accident and were transported to Rahway Hospital by the Westfield Volunteer Rescue Squad.
Rita Eisenkerch had been sitting in the passenger seat of the vehicle, while Susan Eisenkerch had been riding in the back seat, Sergeant Parizeau said.
Mr. Burns and Susan Eisenkerch were treated and released that day, according to Colleen Delaney, Public Affairs Manager at Rahway Hospital. Rita Eisenkerch was admitted to the hospital and was discharged on Sunday.
Sergeant Parizeau said no charges had been leveled against Mr. Burns. He confirmed that there was not a police officer directing traffic at the scene when the incident occurred.
The busy intersection, in the heart of Westfields downtown, has been the site of several recent traffic accidents. In June, a pedestrian was struck by a vehicle as he was crossing the Central Avenue crosswalk. The driver was issued summonses for careless driving and failure to yield to a pedestrian.
At that time, police said that an officer is assigned to traffic duty at the intersection when manpower is available, but there are times when the department is unable to station someone there.

Despite the weather in Scotland I promise it is actually the middle summer. After just having an amazing time in Croatia, I'll soon be heading to Yaughal, a seaside town in Cork,Ireland. Not quite Croatia but I'm hoping for some similar weather.
No matter where we're going or staying we want a to feel comfortable enough to show some of our body off during the summer months.
I'm always on the lookout for summer essentials to keep toned and to help with the anti ageing process. I was very kindly sent the ageLOC Galvanic Body Spa to try out. The reviews for this product are absolutely amazing, with some impressive before and after images of happy customers. It is a system that works along side the ageLOC Body Shaping Gel to achieve a more firmed, toned, younger looking body and it can be used on the legs, arms and stomach. Theres also a similar product to be used to the face to combat wrinkles.
The Galvanic Trio comes with the Body Spa, ageLOC Body Shaping Gel and ageLOC Dermatic Effects. It is really simple to use, you apply the body shaping gel to your arms, I used a 10p size piece of the shaping gel as it does go a long way, as soon as you apply it, it is cooling and will instantly reduce any puffiness in your skin.
The optimized pulsating technology helps to stimulate your skin, it will help to purify and refresh your skin, as well as helping to reduce the visible signs of aging. It will also help to enhance the features of your ageLOC Shaping Gel for up to 24 hours. Stimulating the skin also helps it to glow, instantly making you feel better and more radiant. You can see from some of the images how you can really feel the pulsating technology work. The machine beeps every ten seconds to let you know how far into your treatment you are which is really helpful.
The pulsating technology helps to stimulate the skin to purify and refresh your skin, therefore reducing the visible signs of skin ageing and celulite. The ageLOC Body Spa is grooved in shape so that it goes over your skin easily and it helps to get the ingredients of the shaping gel to work into your skin. The Body Spa will beep as it goes over your skin, this means that it is working and you have a good connection between the skin and the Body Spa. You can really feel it work which exactly what you want from a high end product like the Galvanic body spa.
The Galvanic body spa trio is perfect for all ages and seems to be working incredibly well for me on cellulite, I'll post a follow up review on how it's worked over a two month period so you can see exact results.
It has been well over a month since we got back from Croatia and the holiday blues are hittin me hard. The weather in Edinburgh is not helping at all. It's basically the middle of July and it has been raining non stop for the past few days. Great craic altogether.
I've been looking up holidays every second day even though I know it's not even a possibility.
Luckily for me I'm heading to the Emerald Isle at the start of August and Lost Village festival at the end of August both with Lewis. That gives me just over a month to plan some absolutely mad outfits for Lost Village, the style at it is out of this world.
I'll no doubt be taking this orange maxi skirt with me, it's from boohoo and is amazing quality it's a really heavy fabric and I've been wearing it everywhere despite it being quite extra.
I wore it with this Zara top that I've also been wearing to death and don't plan on stopping anytime soon.
I hope your holiday hasn't past and is yet to come!

The images indicate a diagnosis of spermatocytic tumor. This tumor is rare (0.61 percent of all testicular germ cell tumors) and most commonly affects men in their fifth and sixth decades. It presents as a painless, usually unilateral testicular mass. Serum tumor markers are typically negative, and gross examination is characterized by a homogeneous, pale grey, solid, soft-textured tumor confined to the testis. Areas of necrosis, edema, lobulation and hemorrhage may also be present. Until recently, these tumors were known as spermatocytic seminoma. However, there is no association with seminoma or germ cell neoplasia in situ (GCNIS) and, in the absence of sarcomarous change, they are benign. For these reasons, spermatocytic seminoma has been renamed spermatocytic tumor.
Three morphologically distinct cell types are noted on microscopy: small cells with hyperchromatic nuclei and scant cytoplasm resembling lymphocytes; medium (intermediate)-sized cells with round nuclei, granular chromatin, and dense eosinophilic cytoplasm; and large, mono-multinucleated cells with round, indented nuclei and lacy chromatin. Mitoses are common and include atypical forms. The intermediate cells are often predominant and the other cell types may only be recognized when examining additional sections. GCNIS is absent and fibrous stroma, granulomas, and lymphocytes are not features of spermatocytic tumor.
The tumor cells do not demonstrate intracytoplasmic glycogen on PAS staining and are negative for most immunohistochemical markers characteristic of other germ cell tumors. c-Kit may be expressed in up to 40 percent of spermatocytic tumors. The lack of a lymphoid component, as demonstrated by the absence of staining with CD45, further underscores the diagnosis in the case presented here. Gain in chromosome 9 is the most consistent cytogenetic abnormality, in addition to gain of the X chromosome.
Prominent nucleoli and marked nuclear pleomorphism reminiscent of embryonal carcinoma, including bizarre multinucleated cells, are considered anaplastic change. Undifferentiated and differentiated sarcomatous elements indicate sarcomatous change and are more likely to metastasize. Sarcomatous change incurs a worse prognosis due to metastatic potential, whereas anaplastic change does not (1,2,3).

Serious question Marvel Dalmatian Dalmatianvengers shirt. I’ve been looking for a good Dalmatian for years. Always wanted one. If anyone knows where I can find one in the Texas, Arkansas, or Louisiana areas, please let me know. I had a Dalmation I inherited with a farm I rented she was going to be put down when the owners moved away. She went on to live a long happy and loved 19 years with us! I’ve owned 5 damatians in my lifetime and still have two. All from reputable breeder who shows, and does numerous dog sports including obedience and scent training. Puppy mills produced bad bred dals. They need love and training from their owners. Will never have any other breed. Love my dals but you need to be committed to them. For everyone that just wants one because they are beautiful.
Do your research FIRST. We didn’t. Marvel Dalmatian Dalmatianvengers shirt very laid back and didn’t realize Dalmatians are a working breed. Please have room for them to grow and time for you to train them. It’s a lot of work. I just love dalmations! Thought about getting one before I ended up settling on my second Border Collie. I’m an absolute Border Collie lover! Maybe one day I will get a dal. Beautiful breed! I grew up with a male Dalmatian puppy. Then we acquired my brothers girlfriends female and had 8 puppies. We ended up keeping one of the puppys. They were never a problem in the house or with anyone. Absolutely love them! Coming from a vet tech of 16 years: Number one breed to bite. Tough to train to be a house dog, they need a job, which is why they were used as firehouse dogs to control the horses way back in the day.

text: The isolation of a new thermophilic bacterium, Thermus aquaticus gen. n. and sp. n., is described. Successful enrichment requires incubation at 70 to 75 C, and the use of nutrient media relatively dilute with respect to the organic components. Strains of T. aquaticus have been isolated from a variety of thermal springs in Yellowstone National Park and from a thermal spring in California. The organism has also been isolated from man-made thermal habitats, such as hot tap water, in geographical locations quite distant from thermal springs. Isolates of T. aquaticus are gram-negative nonsporulating nonmotile rods which frequently form long filaments at supraoptimal temperatures or in the stationary phase. All isolates form a yellow cellular pigment, probably a carotenoid. A characteristic structure formed by all isolates is a large sphere, considerably larger than a spheroplast. These large spheres, as well as lysozyme-induced spheroplasts, are resistant to osmotic lysis. Deoxyribonucleic acid base compositions of four strains were determined by CsCl density gradient ultracentrifugation and found to be between 65.4 and 67.4 moles per cent guanine plus cytosine. The growth of all isolates tested is inhibited by fairly low concentrations of cycloserine, streptomycin, penicillin, novobiocin, tetracycline, and chloramphenicol. Nutritional studies on one strain showed that it did not require vitamins or amino acids, although growth was considerably faster in enriched than in synthetic medium. Several sugars and organic acids served as carbon sources, and either NH4+ or glutamate could serve as nitrogen source. The organism is an obligate aerobe and has a pH optimum of 7.5 to 7.8. The optimum temperature for growth is 70 C, the maximum 79 C, and the minimum about 40 C. The generation time at the optimum is about 50 min. The possible relationships of this new genus to the myxobacteria, flexibacteria, and flavobacteria are discussed.
