Taxanes, which are widely used in treatment of numerous cancer types, are well-known to induce hypersensitivity reactions (HSR), especially in the case of paclitaxel. Although the cause of the HSR is commonly thought to be a non-immunological direct effect of the diluent which is used to dissolve paclitaxel, some reports suggest the possibility of the presence of an immunological reaction to the common taxane structure. The aim of this study was to establish a method to determine the presence of anti-taxane antibodies in body fluids of patients who have previously received paclitaxel, in order to estimate the risk of the occurrence of HSR to other taxane compounds, such as docetaxel. To prepare an enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) plate for determining taxanes, 10-deacetylbaccatin III (DAB) was first succinylated by use of dimethylaminopyridine and succinic anhydride in dried pyridine. After the succinylation reaction, three different products were obtained, and these were confirmed as 7-succinoyl DAB (7-DAB), 10-succinoyl DAB (10-DAB), and 7,10-disuccinoyl DAB (7,10-DAB) by (1)H-NMR analysis. Each of these three products was conjugated with bovine serum albumin (BSA), and adsorbed on an ELISA plate. By using a commercially available anti-taxane monoclonal antibody as a model antibody, the detection limit of the anti-taxane antibodies on the 7-DAB-BSA-, 10-DAB-BSA-, and 7,10-DAB-BSA-conjugated ELISA plate was estimated as 0.3, 1 and 10 ng/ml, respectively. The ELISA system established in this study may therefore be useful for estimating the risk of HSR to taxanes in a patient prior to the use of these drugs.

Frank Spiteri on the days final climb. Photo by Loren Henry.
“A stage for the sprinters” is how Columbia Hills Road Race, Stage 1 of the 2011 Mt. Hood Cycling Classic was advertised to us. As soon as we hit the first climb of the day, it was obvious that this was not going to be the case. With me sitting at 12th overall after the prologue, and Jesse Miller-Smith our obvious choice for GC leader, the two of us went into the stage as the protected riders. The team did a great job cover attacks, helping each other bridge across any missed splits, and some even sacrificing themselves as water carriers. A few miles before the final big climb of the stage, some riders countered a move by Lunner and I jumped on. I did what I could to drive the pace of the break to establish a sizeable gap before hitting the base of the climb. We hit the bottom of the climb with a 1:20 gap on the chasing field. Nearing the top of the 7-mile climb, Nate English, who had attacked out of the peloton, caught and passed our group like we were sitting still. At this point, I knew Jesse would be coming from behind shortly. Once I was able to see Jesse from behind, realizing he wouldn’t be able to make it onto the back of our group before the top of the climb, I dropped off the back of the lead group and waited for Jesse’s group to catch me. As soon as he made contact, I drilled it as hard as I could on the descent to bring Jesse up to the leaders. Finally by the bottom of the grade, we were on the front group which was now about 30 riders. Our split was able to stay away to the finish line, where I was able to sprint for 5th place on the day. For me it was more exciting to cross the line knowing that our tactics had worked, and we had placed two riders in the front split, including our team GC leader Jesse.

The World Bank (WB) has projected Nepal’s economy growth at 4.7 percent for fiscal year 2016-17, which is 1.8 percentage points less than the government projection and 1.1 points less that the aid agency’s own forecast in January.
The WB reduced its forecast for the global economy on Wednesday, the second time this year, bringing it down to 2.4 percent from the 2.9 percent estimated in January.
Stubbornly low commodity prices, sluggish demand in advanced economies, weak trade and diminishing capital flows have been attributed for reduction in 2016 global economic growth.
In January, the WB forecast for Nepal’s economic growth stood at 5.8 percent. The WB downgraded the projection due to political risk and under-execution of projects with public investment.
“Political risks are high in Nepal along with Afghanistan, Burundi, Democratic Republic of Congo and Haiti,” said the aid agency, citing protests by Madhes-based political parties after the promulgation of new constitution.
Nepal’s growth projection is the second lowest in South Asia compared to Bangladesh, Bhutan, India and Pakistan, according the World Bank.
Despite the WB projection of 5.8 percent in January, the government in its budget tabled on May 28 had projected economic growth for 2016-17 at 6.5 percent, which economists had termed too ambitious.
Jagadish Chandra Pokharel, former vice-chairman of the National Planning Commission, said that even in normal conditions, 6.5 percent growth is too mammoth a task to achieve. “If government’s capital expenditure remains over 80 percent, the country witnesses a normal monsoon and reconstruction activities pick up pace, then we can expect growth up to, maybe, 5.5 percent next fiscal,” he said. However, failure to spend development budget has been a perennial problem in the country and the situation aggravated this year due to the quakes and Indian blockade for more than four and a half months.
Pokharel, however, said he is expecting relatively higher growth next fiscal year, arguing that current fiscal year remained extraordinary and situation of this year could not be made the basis for next year’s growth projection.
Former NPC member Posh Raj Pandey said that the WB’s growth projection could be achieved in the context of normal monsoon, but the government’s target is highly ambitious. “The government has not identified the growth driver,” he said.
The new budget says that the allocation of significant amount of budget in reconstruction, agriculture, physical infrastructure, energy and the social sector would inspire high economic growth and sustainable development.
However, Pandey said investment in the infrastructure sector would take some years to yield economic results and the payment labourers will get for working in these projects would not have big synergy impact on the economy.

Many people who have been infected with HIV display no signs and symptoms of the infection. The only way to confirm an HIV infection is by doing an HIV test. HIV testing can be done in Sexual health clinics (Genito Urinary Medicine Clinics), contraception and young people’s clinics, or antenatal clinics for pregnant women.
An HIV test requires the collection of a blood sample from the individual under test. Though the HIV test can be done using a saliva or urine sample, a standard blood test is a must for confirmation of the infection.
HIV test results must be confirmed with a follow up test to avoid the chances of false positives as well as false negatives.
Once an individual gets exposed to an HIV infection, he may take a few weeks to a few months to develop antibodies. This period is called the window period. During this period, an HIV test shows negative results for antibodies even when the patient has an HIV infection. It is important to remember that patient can transmit the virus to others at this stage.
ELISA is a test that detects the presence of antibodies, which are developed by the immune system to fight against HIV, in the blood (serum). ELISA is a highly sensitive test i.e. it detects the antibodies even if they are very few in number. But there are chances that the test might a give false positive result. This makes it necessary that a positive ELISA test be confirmed by another HIV test like the Western Blot or Indirect Immunofluorescence Assay.
During the window period of the infection, the test gives negative results. For this reason, in case of a negative result the first time, the ELISA test should be repeated after 1- 3 months before ruling out the infection.
Western blot is an HIV test similar to ELISA. It detects antibodies in the serum sample. It is used to double check the results of a positive ELISA test. In this HIV test, HIV proteins are separated and immobilized. If the patient’s serum has anti-HIV antibodies, they bind to the immobilized antigen. This indicates a positive test result that can be visualized in an electrified slab of gel.
PCR detects the genetic material of HIV. A PCR test gives a positive result sooner than an antibody test, usually within two to three weeks of infection. It is expensive but more specific or definitive. Reverse Transcription Polymerase Chain Reaction (RT-PCR), branched DNA (bDNA), and Nucleic Acid Sequence-Based Amplification assay (NASBA) are some of the PCR tests that measure HIV viral load in the blood.
The basic principle here is to detect HIV using DNA sequences that bind specifically to those in the virus. This test is also used to monitor treatment. The viral load test should be done two to four weeks after starting treatment, then every four to eight weeks. If the treatment is effective, the viral load should decrease to undetectable levels in the blood. This test is highly reliable during the early stages of exposure to HIV, around the time the antibody tests appear negative.
This test is used for diagnosis as well as monitoring treatment.
An antigen of HIV named P 24 is detected by ELISA Techniques, using monoclonal antibodies (synthesized antibodies) that bind specifically to P 24. The antigen detection test is not generally used for diagnosis as it is not very sensitive and is effective only before the patient starts developing anti-p24 antibodies.
Rapid tests detect antibodies in the blood or saliva much faster than other tests, often within 20 minutes or so. They work on the same principle as other antibody tests. It is important to remember that the results of rapid tests have to be confirmed with a different follow up test.
The U.S. Food and Drug Administration has approved a home test called the Home Access Express Test (the Home Access HIV-1 Test System). This test requires you to prick your finger with a special needle, put a few drops of blood on a collection card, and mail the card to a laboratory. In about a week, you can get the results of the test by calling a toll-free number specified by the USFDA.
This test is used to measure the count of CD4 cells in the blood. HIV destroys CD4 cells during the course of the infection. When the cell count falls below 200, HIV progresses to AIDS. CD4 count ranges from 500 to 1000 cells per cubic millimetre of blood, in a normal healthy individual. If the CD4 cell count is below this range, it could indicate an HIV infection.
This blood test is used to determine whether the HIV strain is resistant to the anti-HIV medications that are prescribed. It also helps the physician decide which medication may be more effective for treatment.
When HIV has progressed to AIDS, the doctor might recommend certain tests to check for other infections or complications, including tuberculosis, hepatitis, sexually transmitted diseases, toxoplasmosis, urinary tract infections, and liver or kidney damage.
The home HIV test has been approved by the US Food and Drug Administration.
In addition to the tests listed above, here are some of the other tests that are used to monitor the health of the patient.
Complete Blood Count Test – It is performed to measure the count of white and red blood cells, hemoglobin, and platelets and to check for anemia and other blood-related conditions.
Blood Chemistry Tests – They are used to measure the levels of sodium, potassium, creatinine, blood urea nitrogen, and albumin in the blood.
Urine Tests – These are done to check for abnormal kidney function and for infections.
Diagnosing an HIV infection at its early stages is very important to start medication. This can delay the progression of HIV to AIDS (Acquired Immune Deficiency Syndrome). For this reason, an HIV test must be done at the earliest when an HIV infection is suspected.

DMK MP Kanimozhi and 4 others were granted bail by the Delhi High Court on Monday 28 November in the 2G spectrum case.
This was Kanimozhi's fifth attempt at bail. It has been six months since she was arrested.
The court heard the bail pleas of former Telecom Secretary Siddharth Behura, filmmaker Karim Morani, DMK-run Kalaignar TV MD Sharad Kumar and private firm Kusegaon Fruits and Vegetables Pvt Ltd director Rajeev Agarwal and Asif Balwa of DB Realty.
All four, except Sidhharth Behura, were granted bail on Monday. Behura's plea was opposed, saying being a public servant he misused his position.
Former telecom minister, A Raja said that he would not ask for bail. He says he wants to demolish the court case against him. Two others who are still in jail are R K Chandolia, former telecom bureaucrat and Shahid Balwa, a promoter of Swan Telecom. Of the 14 people being tried for charges from criminal conspiracy to forgery, 10 have now been granted bail.

Witness the making of time with the skeleton design of the Montabello mechanical wood watch. This self winding mechanical watch offers a clear face, allowing you to see the inner workings of the watch from both sides.
The stainless steel casing is complemented by a wooden bezel with the genuine leather band adding to the stylish appeal. The design of the ‘Montabello’ takes into consideration the larger size with the winder being positioned lower than most watches. This prevents the winding knob from sticking into the back of the hand, allowing for a more comfortable fit.

VIENNA (AFP) - The top diplomats from Russia, the United States, Saudi Arabia and Turkey will hold talks on the war in Syria on Friday (Oct 23), after Moscow thrust itself into the heart of the conflict with its bombing campaign in support of President Bashar al-Assad.
The envoys from Washington, Riyadh and Ankara - all of which back groups battling against Assad - will look to sound out Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov in Vienna after the embattled Syrian strongman made a surprise visit to Moscow to meet President Vladimir Putin this week.
On Sept 30, Russia launched air strikes in Syria which have shifted the dynamics of the brutal four-and-a-half year war - allowing Assad's battle-weary forces to go on the offensive and overshadowing a US-led coalition bombing the Islamic State in Iraq and Syria (ISIS) group.
The US and its regional allies have decried Russia's strikes, insisting Moscow is not mainly targeting ISIS as it claims, but other groups battling the regime in Damascus, and that the Kremlin's intervention will only prolong the fighting.
Ahead of the talks in the Austrian capital, Assad's fate remains a major a stumbling block and, after years of failure to stop the bloodshed in Syria, there was scant hope of any major breakthrough.
Washington and its regional allies have long insisted Assad has to go for there to be any chance of a political solution to fighting that has cost more than 250,000 lives, but Moscow says it must first help him defeat ISIS and other "terrorists" before talks can start on any reforms.
"The aim of the US is to get rid of Assad, probably that is so, our aim is to defeat terrorism, to battle terror, and to help President Assad claim victory over terror," Putin said on Thursday in the Black Sea resort of Sochi.
"In this way, we can then create the conditions for the start and, I hope the successful reaching of a conclusion, of the political process to find a settlement."
Meanwhile, US Secretary of State John Kerry said in Berlin that while all sides agreed on the need to find a political solution and battle ISIS only "one thing stands in the way... a person called Assad - Bashar al-Assad".
Assad's surprise visit to Moscow on Tuesday - his first known trip abroad since the start of the Syrian conflict in 2011 - has now placed the Kremlin as the key link to the strongman.
Putin - who has been isolated by the West for some 15 months over the Ukraine crisis - went on a diplomatic blitz in the wake of the visit by Moscow's long-standing ally, calling the leaders of Saudi Arabia, Turkey, Jordan and Egypt.
While all sides seem entrenched in their positions, analysts say some Assad opponents seem to be softening their line and conceding that he could remain in power temporarily, while Moscow does not seem wedded to the strongman long-term.
Another staunch Assad ally that will not be at the table in Vienna - due to objections mainly from Saudi Arabia - is Iran, but even officials in Tehran say they would not work to keep him in power "forever".
While Syria is set to dominate in Vienna, Lavrov and Kerry will also hold talks with representatives from the European Union and United Nations on the latest round of Israeli-Palestinian violence.
The talks - to include the EU's foreign policy chief and UN head Ban Ki Moon via video-link - are part of a flurry of diplomatic activity seeking to end weeks of violence that has raised fears of a new Palestinian intifada, or uprising.
Kerry on Thursday expressed "cautious optimism" about defusing the crisis after a four-hour meeting with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu in Berlin.

Today, we are facing a serious global challenge wherein everyone should be aware of climate change. It affects you, me, our loved ones and the future generations. We only have one planet to live in, one home, which caters all our needs. Certainly, it is a privilege to be in an environment accurately conducive to live in; thus it should not be taken for granted.
Do you realize that it starts with you? The more we go about our daily lives trying to compensate for the damages brought about by the greediness and ignorance of mankind, the more lives we save! If you believe we have the responsibility to protect our home, share it to people. With being aware, we learn and start participating in protecting the environment at the expense of gradually changing our daily activities. One of the simplest ways to fight climate change is to start raising awareness about the global issue. Raising awareness will influence other people in choosing to protect and love the earth.
The big question is how. “How do we raise awareness about climate change? How do we capture the hearts of people to help protect and love the earth?"

Gov. George W. Bush, who recently advocated DNA testing to "erase any doubts" from some death penalty cases, said yesterday he would probably delay the looming execution of a convicted killer whose attorneys are fighting for new DNA tests.
Lesson 4: Pronouns take the place of nouns. There are several different kinds of pronouns, two of which are personal pronouns and relative pronouns. Subject forms of the personal pronouns are I, you, he, she, it, we, and they; object forms are me, you, him, her, it, us, and them; and possessive forms are my, mine, your, yours, her, hers, his, its, our, ours, their, and theirs. The possessive forms function as adjectives and are diagrammed as such (more about this when we discuss modifiers). There are only five common forms of the relative pronoun in English: who, whom, whose, which, and that. A relative pronoun has an antecedent in its sentence, that is, a noun or pronoun that precedes it in the sentence and to which it refers. In Mr. Babineck's sentence, the relative pronoun who has as its antecedent Gov. George W. Bush, while the antecedent of the relative pronoun whose is killer. In a sentence diagram, a broken line is drawn between a relative pronoun and its antecedent.
Apologia pro descriptione mea: 1. The word death is a noun functioning as an adjective modifying a noun functioning as an adjective, penalty. If death penalty is considered the equivalent of a single word, then it can be diagrammed on a single line as an adjective modifying cases. I chose not to do this when I was unable to find death penalty in Webster's Unabridged. 2. The x at the top of the diagram shows that the expletive that has been omitted before the indirect statement.

Scribe, known by the colophon of a manuscript preserved in the archives of the Tortosa Cathedral, who has been frequently considered by the historiography the author of these manuscript illustrations, despite there are no further evidences to suggest that his work went beyond the scripture. Apart from the nature of his activity, the interest of the manuscript illustrations and the fact that it is not clear its place of execution, it might be necessary to find out the place where he worked. Even considering bergedanus as an indicative of his origin (Berga, Catalonia), yet it is not for sure, this anthroponomy does not bring much light about this issue since it does not indicate anything else than a possible birth place and not where he developed his activity. The possibility that his work was developed in Berga should be dismissed, besides there is no evidence that makes credible the production of a manuscript of this nature in that place. The possibility that it was made in Tortosa and therefore, that Nicolaus developed its activity there, it is not sure either, although cannot be excluded. In any case, it should be noted that the bishopric of Tortosa is of later creation (the Christian conquest was in 1148) and it is well-known that, at least initially, the Tortosa bishopric got manuscripts from other provenances. This hypothesis leads to suggest other possibilities for the execution of the manuscript, including the option of Sant Joan de les Abadesses (DALMASES-JOSÉ 1986: 294). The style of the illustrations, which entail a difficult filiation - perhaps by the internationality that characterizes much of the examples around 1200 - does not clarify the issue. So that, we can conclude that scribe Nicolaus Bergedanus worked on a manuscript even if it cannot be asserted that he also illustrated it. He worked in the Catalan territory, may be in the north (Ripoll? Cuixà?) or in the recent scriptorium of the Tortosa cathedral. Whoever was the author of these illustrations, he should have known Northern Catalan previous models, which he might translate into the typical figurative language around 1200.
Despite the fact that Nicolaus Bergedanus in the colophon of the De civitate Dei of Tortosa does not say anything else that he wrote between May and September, the interesting illustrations of the said manuscript have been often attributed to him, even if he has been considered from Berga (Catalonia). However, it has also been questioned that the final manuscript notebook, where the colophon is placed, was initially a part of the original codex (AINAUD 1961: 84) and, consequently, that it has no relation with the illustrations.
The illustrations of this manuscript do not give light of the place where they were made. There have been pointed out different relationships with another dispersed works. That is to say, from iconographic formulas of some illustrations produced in Ripoll (IBARBURU 1984: 265-272, 1997: 128-129), and also in Cuixà (ORRIOLS 1996: 37-38); to stylistic features and illustrative formats (lack of colour) which are found not only in other Catalan manuscripts from the Romanesque period (BOHIGAS 1960: 83) but also in Spanish (BOHIGAS 1974: 41) and central European examples (DOMINGUEZ BORDONA 1930: 48, 1962: 95). In addition, it has also been outlined his Byzantine character (DALMASES-JOSÉ 1986: 294) that is also common in the Northwest Catalan panel painting in those same dates (IBARBURU 1985: passim, 1997: 129-130).

The Jeep's power brake system was "boosted" by a typical vacuum booster unit that worked off the vacuum of the Internal Combustion Engine. With the I.C.E. gone, an electric vacuum pump will provide the neccesary vacuum to operate not only the brake booster, but also the climate control system ducts. The pump itself is made by Gast, and is a self contained 12 volt pump. There is also a vacuum switch, in this case made by Square D, utilized in the system. The switch turns off the pump once around 23" hg vacuum is pulled. If the vacuum falls below ~15" hg (such as the brake pedal being depressed), the switch re-energizes the pump. Good Plan!
The Vacuum Pump and Vacuum Switch.
Before I knew where I would end up mounting the vacuum system components, I temporarily mounted the vacuum pump and switch to the front driver's side of the engine compartment. I hooked everything up and it worked, just as I suspected!
Once the front battery racks were made, I soon realized just how much free space there was under the battery racks, especially battery rack #2. Luckily, free space + solid metal nearby = an easy way to weld and mount things. First, I bought some 1/8" flat steel. Next I cut and welded pieces of it to the under side of the battery rack's lower tray to provide mounts. For the vacuum pump, I welded two long pieces and one short tab to the bottom of the tray. Next, I drilled three holes to match the three pre-threaded holes in the bottom of the vacuum pump.
welded to the underside of battery rack #2.
The vacuum switch was attached to the bottom of battery rack #2 in the same way as the vacuum pump, and right next to it. It only required one piece of flat steel, and mounted to it using two bolts.
Another necessary component of the vacuum system is a vacuum reservoir. The vacuum reservoir stores vacuum for use, so that the vacuum pump doesn't need to turn on for every little use of vacuum, but instead can run less frequently. Most vacuum reservoirs are made out of plastic. I decided to make a vacuum reservoir for the Jeep out of lengths of 2" Class 200 PVC pipe. I chose Class 200 PVC because Class 200 has thinner walls than Schedule 40 PVC, and thus has more volume for than an equally sized length of schedule 40 PVC.
I bought 2" blank cap ends to close off the sections of PVC I would use as the vacuum reservoir. I then drilled holes in each cap end to accept a threaded metal barb fitting for the vacuum hoses to attach to. The first tube of the vacuum reservoir has one cap with a 5/16" Inner diameter hose barb (input) and one cap with a 1/4" barb (output). The second tube of the reservoir has both caps with a 1/4" barb in them. The last tube of the vacuum reservoir has a 1/4" barb in one cap (input), and both a 1/8" and a 5/16" barb in the other cap (output). The metal barb fittings are screwed in tightly. I then put silicon around them to make a vacuum tight seal.
screwed into 6 2" PVC caps for the vacuum reservoir.
Once the caps were made, it was time to attach them to the three lengths of 2" diameter PVC I had cut. I used the purple primer to clean the pipe and caps. Then glued them together with the blue (quick drying) PVC cement. The last step was I spray painted the vacuum reservoirs white to hide the lovely combonation of purple and blue stains which had been left by the PVC chemicals. I then connected 1/4" hose between each of the three sections to form one big reservoir, and installed the new vacuum reservoir underneath front battery tray #2, between the vacuum switch and power steering pump.

once the front battery racks were made, i soon realized just how much free space there was under the battery racks, especially battery rack #2. luckily, free space + solid metal nearby = an easy way to weld and mount things. first, i bought some 1/8" flat steel. next i cut and welded pieces of it to the under side of the battery rack's lower tray to provide mounts. for the vacuum pump, i welded two long pieces and one short tab to the bottom of the tray. next, i drilled three holes to match the three pre-threaded holes in the bottom of the vacuum pump.
welded to the underside of battery rack #2.
the vacuum switch was attached to the bottom of battery rack #2 in the same way as the vacuum pump, and right next to it. it only required one piece of flat steel, and mounted to it using two bolts.
another necessary component of the vacuum system is a vacuum reservoir. the vacuum reservoir stores vacuum for use, so that the vacuum pump doesn't need to turn on for every little use of vacuum, but instead can run less frequently. most vacuum reservoirs are made out of plastic. i decided to make a vacuum reservoir for the jeep out of lengths of 2" class 200 pvc pipe. i chose class 200 pvc because class 200 has thinner walls than schedule 40 pvc, and thus has more volume for than an equally sized length of schedule 40 pvc.
i bought 2" blank cap ends to close off the sections of pvc i would use as the vacuum reservoir. i then drilled holes in each cap end to accept a threaded metal barb fitting for the vacuum hoses to attach to. the first tube of the vacuum reservoir has one cap with a 5/16" inner diameter hose barb (input) and one cap with a 1/4" barb (output). the second tube of the reservoir has both caps with a 1/4" barb in them. the last tube of the vacuum reservoir has a 1/4" barb in one cap (input), and both a 1/8" and a 5/16" barb in the other cap (output). the metal barb fittings are screwed in tightly. i then put silicon around them to make a vacuum tight seal.
screwed into 6 2" pvc caps for the vacuum reservoir.
once the caps were made, it was time to attach them to the three lengths of 2" diameter pvc i had cut. i used the purple primer to clean the pipe and caps. then glued them together with the blue (quick drying) pvc cement. the last step was i spray painted the vacuum reservoirs white to hide the lovely combonation of purple and blue stains which had been left by the pvc chemicals. i then connected 1/4" hose between each of the three sections to form one big reservoir, and installed the new vacuum reservoir underneath front battery tray #2, between the vacuum switch and power steering pump.

The course covers topics from the recent developments in high-frequency econometrics.
We will review the econometrics of non-parametric estimation of the variation of asset prices. This very active literature has been stimulated by the recent advent of complete records of transaction prices, quote data and order books. The interaction of the new data sources with new econometrics methodology is leading to a paradigm shift in one of the most important areas in econometrics: Volatility measurement, modeling and forecasting using high-frequency data.
Careful data cleaning is one of the most important aspects of volatility estimation from high-frequency data. The most challenging problem in this context is dealing with various forms of market frictions, which obscure the latent price from the econometrician. We will characterize types of statistical models of friction and discuss how econometricians have been attempting to overcome them. The main data focus will be on the TAQ data base.

Hi Lindsay! I can understand why you would want to have something familiar for a stroller for your child but you must also think about what will make your life easier. You don't want to add stress especially when traveling with a child so young. My own daughter will be bringing her 8 month old in November and we are working on every detail to make it as easy as possible.
Disney Transportation includes buses, boats, and monorails. All are complimentary but there are specific rules for each. Strollers are allowed to be kept open on Monorails and some of the boats. The smaller boats will require strollers to be folded completely. Your most used type of transportation on property will be the Disney buses. By law all strollers must be folded completely on all buses. This obviously would not work with your stroller from home and it would make getting around very difficult.
There are several stroller rental companies in the area that many guests use for their vacation. Check out the three Disney authorized Stroller Rental Companies and check to see what they can offer. They will deliver and pick up from the resorts making it as easy as possible and allowing you to have a stroller inside and out of the parks.

When the news broke on Jan. 10 that Sequoia Capital, one of the most influential venture-capital firms in Silicon Valley, had invested $37 million in Stella & Dot, more than a few eyebrows were raised.
A brand is more than a company name. It’s more like the company’s heartbeat.
In this month’s Executive Connection, Direct Selling News Publisher and Editor in Chief John Fleming speaks with Ryan Blair, Founder and CEO of ViSalus Sciences, about leadership, inspiring distributors and the challenges facing the direct selling industry.
“We create the environment that enriches your life.” That’s our new tagline here at PartyLite, and it’s working beautifully for us.
When someone has four children under the age of 4, it’s hard not to think about kids all day long.
According to the Chinese calendar, 2011 is the year of the Rabbit, which means a year in which one should strive to be creative and compassionate. For the direct selling industry, 2011 might well be the year of focusing on a continued and diligent commitment to ethics. During his address at the Annual Meeting several years ago, Direct Selling Association (DSA) President Neil Offen challenged our industry to be both creative and compassionate by redoubling efforts to make direct sellers the envy of other industries by “walking the walk and talking the talk” on high ethical standards and consumer protection. DSA companies responded in earnest to this challenge with renewed vigor and commitment to raising the bar on ethics on a variety of fronts.
In December 2010, Nordstrom Inc. announced that November 2010 revenue from its stores that had been open at least a year rose 5.1 percent, surpassing Wall Street’s expectations. Nordstrom indicated that its best-selling items included jewelry and women’s and men’s shoes.
Also in December of last year, JCPenney announced the launch of a Facebook e-commerce application, which gives the more than 1.3 million people who “like” the retailer the chance to purchase product directly from JCPenney’s Facebook page. According to the retailer, only selected product categories—including jewelry, shoes and handbags—are now sold on Facebook.
In this highly competitive, oversaturated marketplace, establishing and maintaining brand equity is crucial to differentiating your products from the pack and ultimately assuming a leadership position. According to businessdictionary.com, “brand equity” is defined as “a brand’s power derived from the goodwill and name recognition it has earned over time, which translates into higher sales volume and higher profit margins against competing brands.” In other words, it’s a company’s value based on consumer perception. In the world of direct selling, brand equity not only lets consumers know what a brand stands for and what they can expect, but can also instantly open doors and start conversations for the salesforce with potential customers and prospects.
Founder and CEO Ryan Blair says that he and his two co-founders spent the company’s first five years learning what not to do. Now that they have found the formula, they’re celebrating a year of 500 percent revenue growth.
Researchers are known for their methodical approach to problem-solving. Direct selling is known for enthusiastic persistence. Combine the two, and you get a company that successfully provides dream fulfillment and outstanding health supplements, with a level-headed approach to product development and expansion. You get Syntec Nutraceuticals.
