The Senate canceled a scheduled vote on temporary spending bill at 1:00 am ET, delaying it to be held at noon.
The deadlock stems from the Democrats' resentment over the Republicans' immigration plan, which they sought to be negotiated with the bill.
The Senate's procedural rules require 60 votes to get the bill passed in the 100-member chamber.

table. </s> Iris yellow spot tospovirus (IYSV) (genus Tospovirus, family Bunyaviridae), transmitted by Thrips tabaci L. causes an economically important disease in both onion bulb and seed crop in the USA and other onion-growing regions of the world. Onion thrips as a pest alone can cause up to >60 % crop loss. Besides Allium spp, several weeds were found to be hosts of IYSV. IYSV isolates collected from different states in the USA were evaluated to determine the existence of biologically distinct strains. On the basis of the ability to cause systemic infection, disease severity, senescence and death of the inoculated plants, isolates were delineated as mild or severe isolates. Since the genome structure of only the small (S) RNA of IYSV was known, the large (L) and medium (M) RNAs of the virus were sequenced. The L RNA was 8,880 nucleotides in length, coding the 331.17 kDa RNA-dependent RNA polymerase in the viral complementary (vc) strand. The M RNA was 4,817 nucleotides long coding the movement protein (34.7kDa) in the viral sense and the glycoprotein precursor (128.4 kDa) in the vc strand. An ELISA protocol was developed for detecting IYSV in single adult thrips using a polyclonal antiserum produced against the nonstructural protein (NSs) coded by the small (S) RNA. The approach enabled estimating the proportion of viruliferous thrips among the field-collected thrips. This will help better understand the epidemiology of IYSV. To understand the molecular basis of the emergence of new tospoviruses, a system was developed to study virus-virus interactions. It was found that two distinct and economically important tospoviruses, IYSV and Tomato spotted wilt virus (TSWV) complement each other to overcome host defense. The small RNA expression profiles of IYSV and TSWV in single-and dually-infected datura plants showed that systemic leaves of dually-infected plants had reduced levels of TSWV N gene-specific small interfering RNAs (siRNAs). This identifies a new role for the viral gene silviruses and underscores the important role of virally-coded suppressors of gene silencing in virus infection of plants. </s> Introducing . </s> Df.
What is the thing itself? In Zen Buddhism we call it suchness. That which is before perception. It has no name, desires no name. It is vast emptiness manifest. Emptiness refers to lack of substance, lack of permanence. Some might "name" this "God."
At some point in our spiritual development, such devices not only lose their value but become actual hindrances to our growth. To understand God as a noun is to miss His true existence entirely. To understand God as a verb also misses the mark. So if not a noun and not a verb, then what? God and Vast Emptiness are beyond our ability to name them.
Here's the thing: there is no place where God is not. When we attain this then we see clearly. There is no thing that God is not. There is no voice that is not God. Not one place where God is not.
In Zen Buddhism, we practice to realize such things, regardless of whether or not we are theists. The reality of God is not important. In whatever His form, He is, or is not. Like the universe itself, we can take His existence for granted or not, it changes nothing except in ourselves. Call it universe, call it God, but appreciate it fully.
The point of Zazen is to blow the lid off. Blow the lid off until we realize there is no box, nor a lid to blow, nor a blowing itself. There is just this.
It is *this* that is *suchness*.

Under federal discrimination laws, weight is not a protected class, which means that, for the most part, your boss can refuse to promote you, can harass you, and can fire you due to your weight. However, there are some ways that you might be protected under the law if you are overweight.
Here are the top ways you might be protected against discrimination if you're overweight:

No state in the union has passed a law against bullying, despite several attempts to do so in many states. That means your boss and co-workers can be jerks, bullies and can taunt you about your weight. However, if you are in one of the protected categories above, that all changes. You can't be harassed due to a disability, your gender, or for taking Family and Medical Leave.
There is no law against discrimination due to your appearance. Your employer can impose dress and appearance codes as long as they are applied equally. That doesn't mean men and women must wear the same clothing and have the same hairstyles, but there can't be appearance standards for women and not men, or vice versa. Appearance standards must accommodate religious requirements and disabilitiesthem. If your doctor says you must wear loose-fitting clothing, a heart monitor, or a medical alert bracelet, your employer probably has to grant you that accommodation.
Even if you believe it is a choice, we already have laws protecting certain personal choices, don't we? What's a more personal choice than religion? Yet we have laws protecting against religious discrimination. It's time to treat people with weight problems like they..

So, you know, one should separate work from play and all that, but, as it turns out, there’s a wireless network I can hook onto from my condo here in Bermuda (thanks “blackfalcon,” whoever you are), and I had already brought my laptop for other reasons, and, well, OH MY GOD OH MY GOD OH MY GOD ANNA IS INFERTILE AND MARGO IS INVOLVED IN SOME SORT OF BABY-SELLING SCAM HOLY CRAP! and so I really felt like I should say something.
Of course, Mim could just give her baby to Anna and Dr. Brian — problem solved! Also, maybe it’s just me, but the whole “do ya think one of my virile little sperm successfully fertilized your succulent, feminine egg last night?” discussion doesn’t seem particularly romantic. Or sexy. Or even pleasant. The woman sitting behind them feels the same way, I think. </s> Introduction / History

this connection, we again confirm that women's positive attitude to political institutions stems from their emotions and likings. Of the female respondents, 31.8 percent say that their choice of a political party was significantly influenced by the image of its leader. Meanwhile, 22.0 percent of men emphasize that this image has no influence on them.
Practically, both gender groups are equally ready to participate in elections.
We will summarize the results of our recent study (2014) and briefly compare them with the data of the previous years.
In 2011–2013, 63.2 percent of men and 67.3 percent of women were ready to take part in elections. Remarkably, at present these figures have considerably increased—78.0 percent and 83.1 percent, respectively. These data and the enhanced political activity of both genders testify to the general rise of social confidence and trust during Putin's third term. People think this period of Russia's development is more stable compared to Medvedev's presidency.
Some parameters inevitably change with time. They do not depend much on male and femalFor this reason, they fall under the influence of certain factors: a political context, social conditions, state policy and its effectiveness, and so on. These parameters refer to human needs.
Our previous studies indicate that safety has, for a long time, been the strongest need among men. This need is connected with their political perception: they considered authorities unable to ensure social order and defend their citizens. At the same time, male respondents have been concerned with self-realization.
Only in 2011–2012 did these male needs occupy a secondary role. Meanwhile, material needs assumed primary importance. Interestingly, in our last studies, men again started to assign dominant significance to safety. This fact suggests that men are dissatisfied with authorities and expect positive changes from them.
Some parameters undergo insignificant changes with time. This is because they are tightly connected with the biologThese parameters include:
• The cognitive complexity of women's answers.
• The way of describing authorities. Women normally give their own evaluation thereof. They do not seek to communicate facts. Rather, they are eager to express their attitudes. Conversely, men build their judgments on facts and historical events. They are more inclined to describe objects and their characteristics.
• The emotional charge of answers. Men's evaluations of authorities vary from sharply negative to absolutely positive ones. At the same time, women's answers are more neutral.
• Men's higher readiness for political action: participation in rallies and running for competitive elections.
Women pay much more attention to politicians' personal qualities. They take into account psychological, moral, and other personal features. At the same time, men focus mainly on politicians' activity (and, hence, professional qualities) and its results.
Also, women's evaluations of authorities are more emotional.
The list of unchangeable parameters can also include the following additional items: women's higher loyalty to incumbent authorities; higher personification of authorities; and greater dependence on the influence of a leader's image.
We have been receiving similar data within all these invariable parameters since 2000.
In conclusion, we should once more emphasize that the images of authorities in both gender groups are well-formed. However, they are exposed to significant gender differences. These are manifested in (1) the respondents' interest in political power and authorities as such; (2) evaluations of its institutions and leaders; as well as (3) expectations and behavioral intentions with regard to authorities. Remarkably, men's images of authorities are more dynamic or changeable. This is because male respondents are more interested in current events, including politics. Meanwhile, women's images of authorities are more static or unvarying. Also, women evaluate authorities more positively and display loyalty to political leaders. This is a natural consequence of higher emotionality underlying their evaluations of political objects. Men are more critical, radical, and independent in their answers. They do not trust "the ruling party" as much. At the same time, female respondents are not at all inclined to support CPRF and the left values in general. They are more conservative in their political evaluations.
5.2. Contemporary Russian Authorities in the View of Different Generations
One of the most important subjective factors in the contemporary political perception of Russian citizens is age. This is most relevant in the post-Soviet generation, because they underwent political socialization after the collapse of the USSR. They have grown up exposed to new formnew generation receives information from the Internet more often than the older generation does. The Internet is independent of authorities, which is manifested in the data it offers.
We analyzed the images of authorities existing in the minds of different generations during Putin's third term. To that end, we employed the data of the survey held in 2013–2014.
The classification of generations, identification of their numbers, and description of their peculiarities are actively explored by scholars, with no unambiguous solutions available so far. The majority of researchers prefer to split a society into quite a large number of generations. In our study, however, a complex division would be superfluous. This is why we singled out only three age groups in contemporary Russian society: eighteen to thirty years old; thirty to fifty-five years old; and over fifty-five years old. Within our studies, a political generation implies a community of people of the defined age whose notions about politics and authorities were formed and whose primary political socialization occurred under the influence of a common historico-political context.
Thus, the younger generation underwent their primary political socialization during the post-Soviet period. Therefore, many of them cannot remember anything about the Soviet political system, the perestroika, or even the fall of the USSR. The oldest representatives of this age group were only seven or eight years old during the USSR's collapse. Hence, their political world began forming under Boris Yeltsin's leadership; for the majority it began with the transfer of power from Yeltsin to Vladimir Putin in 2000.
The political views of the middle age group were formed during Leonid Brezhnev's, Yury Andropov's, and Konstantin Chernenko's leadership. (Brezhnev's period was regarded as stagnant.) This time was marked by the weakening of beliefs in communist values. Some citizens still trusted state propaganda. They honestly believed that they lived in the best country. However, most adults were exposed to political resocialization due to the change in the country's socioeconomic system. As a result, dominant political values were reconsidered. By 1991, the youngest representatives of the middle age group had formed a certain cynicism about politics and distrust of everything connected with politics. People continubut only because it was a common formality. They did not cling to its ideology anymore.
The third age group (i.e., the elderly) comprises the World War II generation and the post-war generation. Their political socialization has its own peculiarities. These people were brought up during Nikita Khrushchev's leadership. At that time, the state actively indoctrinated citizens with socialist beliefs. Youth organizations played a special role in raising the political awareness in the public. Practically every citizen consequently joined each of the following organizations: Little Octobrists, Young Pioneers, and Komsomol. Furthermore, many people became the members of the Communist Party. The representatives of this age group were used to stable living conditions. For this reason, the turbulent events of the 1980s and of the 1990s were particularly hard for them.
The differences in political views between generations are determined by the peculiarities of their political socialization.
To find out the psychological attitude to obedience to authorities, we posed the following question: who do you think is entitled to have authority over you?
About 90 percent of respondents in each age group share the view that the law has a universal role as an institute that should regulate social relations. Meanwhile, the state is rated second and thus considered less important than the law. In this case there is a slight difference in views between the generations. For instance, young people do not respect the state as much as middle-aged and elderly citizens do.
The authority of bosses ranks third. Of the respondents, 70 percent in each age group acknowledge the bosses as important. This is explained mainly by the peculiarities of Russian political culture. People are ready to recognize the power of their superiors (bosses), because it is important for their every

Critical Essay by Sam Bluefarb Finkle, the young rabbi, is forced to turn to the doubtful services of Pinye Salzman, whom he has discovered advertised in the back pages of the Forward, the Yiddish daily newspaper.
The entire story is an almost stenographic record of the relationship that grows up between Leo and the marriage broker. Meanwhile, Salzman furnishes the rabbi with seemingly hundreds of likely—and unlikely—candidates: photographs, descriptions, specifications, glowing verbal pictures. But no matter how attractive they seem to be, either in personal qualities or in their ability to fit into the niche of a rebitzen, a rabbi's wife, upon further questioning on Leo's part, something invariably turns up to spoil the prospect: one candidate is five years older than the twenty-seven-year-old seminary graduate; another, though young, intelligent, even beautiful, turns out to be "a little lame on her right foot [as Pinye puts it] … but nobody notices on account she is so brilliant and also so beautiful." Another candidate, who almost turns out to be, perhaps, the most likely—she is only a mere two years older than Leo—has, herself, been completely ensnared by the broker's rapturous, though totally false, picture of the rabbi: Salzman has pictured Leo as a zealous servant of God, a prophet, even a saint. Needless to say, he is anything but. Could the small photograph that one day slips from Salzman's briefcase be another candidate? Leo is interested. But Salzman does his best to discourage him. The picture turns out to be that of Salzman's own daughter ("my baby, my Stella, she should burn in hell!") who, so Salzman tells Leo, is "not a bride for a rabbi." But Leo insists, and Salzman finally, reluctantly, brings them together. What turns into a promise for Leo, becomes disaster for Salzman, who, at the moment of the meeting of the two, stands at a street corner not far from the trysting place, chanting prayers for the dead. Again, the Kaddish, the mourner's prayer. Like Kessler [from Malamud's short story "The Mourners"], the marriage broker has his own "dead" to remember.
From Marriage Broker filled with the optimistic myth of hope, love and fulfillment as a sales pitch, Pinye Salzman becomes a creature of his own dark illumination. From Cynical Trader in Dreams, he has himself become the cracked vessel of his own broken dreams.

A person with many virtues is hard to find. A person with two Masters Degree from distinguished American Universities, a great paying job in hand and the courage to take a year long break to go solo backpacking is harder to find!Our quest for such an individual came to an end when we met Mauktik!
Mauktik: Yeah, an ongoing journey if I may say!It is a pleasure to share it with you!
Ghumakkar: So, did you just join work after the Masters?Am sure many big companies would have offered you a job!
Mauktik: Interestingly, no!
Ghumakkar: Definitely!What was the next thing planned?
Mauktik: Nothing clearly planned. But, during those four years, I somehow wrote a book on my solo trip titled 'A Ghost of Che.' I then did my second solo trip. I quit my job and was planning to move back to India. Before moving back, I decided to travel around the world for a year!
Ghumakkar: I like the twists and turns in the journey..A plan to go around the world for a year?
Mauktik: Thank you!
Ghumakkar: Fun is an understatement, Mauktik!I feel it is a fascinating journey!Countable few would have a life this entrancing!
It is called Burj-al-Barajneh and it is one of the earliest refugee camps set up in 1948. The two girls were planning to do some paint job and I said why not?
Ghumakkar: That is some adventure during the last leg of a journey!I understand why you treasure it. Can't wait to know what the second one is all about!
Ghumakkar: That was quite a journey so far!Amidst so much studying, traveling etc. tell us, how you stumbled upon writing?Was it a passion or did it all happen as unplanned as some of your trips?
Ghumakkar: You just finished authoring your second book "Packing Up Without Looking Back". And, it is just published. Congratulations!How does it feel?
Mauktik: Haha. I have no idea. Extensive traveling has opened my mind to all kinds of possibilities in life. Hence the foray into film making. It's just another medium of story-telling, right?
Ghumakkar: I am sure life will take you a long way and to different altitudes of success, Mauktik. Good luck for all your endeavors in life and Congratulations once again for being such a distinct traveler!
Well then. That was our tete-a-tete with Mauktik. Quite an inspirational individual for us travelers, isnt it?Like they say, travel has two sisters – writing and photography. Together, the trio are bound to make a journey worth a million dollars!Mauktik's journeys followed by his perseverance in writing and then filming (motion photography if you can call it that way!) have begun his epic journey in the world of travel and writing!
Thanks for covering the ongoing journey and my adventures in writing. It's been a roller coaster ride that seems to get better as time goes on. Nice to be a part of the Ghumakkar community as well!
Thanks, Muskan, for your kind words. There is still a long list of un-travelled countries!
i read the piece,first time, at one go without really knowing where one,in Peru or middle east. Once I got the idea of the vastness of the canvas "mauktikk(How is it pronounced,Sir?
Are these books from "pothi.com" or amazon. personally signed by you?
Very interesting read. Mauktik, I got to know about you from a post on Devasmita's timeline. Yours is an inspiring journey!
You are prudent beyond your years for sure. I am full of admiration of your decision to follow your instincts and back out of the wall-painting plan. I can imagine how crazy it would be once you cross the Arctic circle in summers. I was in the north of UK a few years back and there was sunlight for almost 20 hours in a day. Sun would start rising barely 2 hours after it had set. Even birds would get confused at times. And then your adventure in an airplane that went for a nosedive several thousand feet up in the air. OMG!
And you are probably the only writer I know who isn't plagued by procrastination. Great going!

Trenton Koser is a senior on this year's team. His father, Kevin, was on the 1989 team that won a state championship.
DENVER, Colorado — The last time Thomas Jefferson High School won a state football championship (or any DPS school did) was back in 1989.
Trenton Koser is a senior on this year's team and is a star player as a wide receiver and free safety. He rotates into quarterback from time to time as well, because he's an athlete.
Kevin Koser, Trenton's dad, was on the 1989 state championship team at TJ.
The legacy father and son are looking to both earn state championship victories for the neighborhood school and community.
"What more could a father ask for," Kevin said to 9Preps Reporter Scotty Gange before the state title game.

a refresher. We need to be defensive. But we should be proactive. We need to rethink what it means to call yourself a music fan.
He knows about the crossroads. He knows Little Richard. And CBGB. And at least one probably apocryphal story about Stevie Nicks. Wikipedia is your friend.
A music fan knows immediately when Amazon's "If you like this..." algorithm has it all wrong.
YOUR PUBLIC RADIO DJ > PANDORA
Fact: A basic sustaining membership at your public radio station costs less than a year of Pandora. Pandora's pretty great though.
Plus, record store clerks know what song you're talking about when you hum them a few bars. See how that goes with Siri. Or a Starbucks barista.
Only we can stop record stores from becoming record museums.
A music fan recognizes that escapism isn't real culture. Culture is a commitment. Beatlemania was commitment. And say what you will about Deadheads and Juggalos, but you have to respect the commitment. Hitting "Like" on a Facebook fan page isn't commitment.
We hope @questlove never quits Twitter.
Rule of thumb: Every time a friend posts a cat video on your page or comments on an Onion article like it's a real piece of news, post two pieces of music.
Imagine a concert where everyone keeps their phones in their pockets. Imagine a flying car. Same likelihood. But it doesn't make the guy shooting photos with an iPad in front of you any less annoying. And yeah, iPad. Jeez.
The Dead had the right idea with taping sections. Cell phone sections are the inevitable next step. So are yet more blurry pictures and shitty videos.
Your memory of seeing jay z will always be better than the picture you took.
It doesn't take a trained eye to look at the thumbnail of a YouTube video and know whether the rest of it's going to be shaky and distant. Every time you click on bad video is a vote for more bad video.
A music fan believes that every heckler thrown into the street headfirst by a bouncer got what was coming to him.
Red Rocks, The Hollywood Bowl, and Madison Square Garden are holy places.
Tall music fans to the back of the room.
They'll change the way you listen to a song. And never for the better.
Some of the most dedicated music fans we know are anglophiles. They read Mojo. They listen to the BBC. They watch Top of the Pops. These days, the answer to "What's next?" can often be found first across the pond, because the UK has more music influencers — DJs, television hosts, and journalists — than we have. They've prioritized music in the culture the way we used to. And with the Internet, it's all accessible to us, too.
People who say "I don't like hip-hop" are like people who say "I don't watch television." They are immediately suspect.
A music fan stops for buskers. He puts in the guitar case twice as much for an original song as he might have for "Me and Bobby McGee." Three times if it's being banged out on pickle jar drums.
Most of what we know about hip-hop terminology we learned from Rap Genius.
We've never learned anything about music from TMZ.com
Music fans are patrons.
Music fans never find their names on guest lists. Instead, music fans have stories of how they've grossly overpaid scalpers. Or got scammed on Craigslist.
$5 to see a lineup of hometown bands was, is, and will always be a bargain.
$125 to hear Paul McCartney sing Beatles songs is also a bargain.
"Pay what you want" should be read as "pay what you want over fair market value."
The best place to buy music: direct from the artist's merch booth at a concert. The worst: any site with a URL that ends in .ru
A music fan recognizes crowdfunding as a necessary evil in the face of the collapse of the traditional music business. But a music fan only buys from a Kickstarter campaign what he would have bought anyway — the new album, a t-shirt, a remix. It's okay not to pledge, too, to remind a musician how capitalism works.
The exception: David Byrne. He can really write.
House concerts are brilliant. And intimate. No shady promoter. No bouncers. The musician leaves with money nobody is taking a cut of. It's among the best things you can do with your house. And a few shades safer than pitbull rescue.
A music fan can separate the artist and the music, except when misogyny, racism, or homophobia seep into the music itself. But music fans also believe in second chances. And redemption. For everyone but R. Kelly.
A music fan never so much as thinks

He said that the course is designed to be a simple introduction to meditation and to introduce the students to the techniques of meditation.
“The most important thing for us is that we make the course accessible to everyone,” Crouch said.
For meditation teachers, the course offers a few more tools.
For example, it teaches students how to prepare a meditation practice with a vegan meal or snack, how to make vegan cookies, and how to create their own vegan recipes.
The next step is to create a meditation meditation mantra, which is also a very important step.
Crumbs meditation mantra will be a list of 10 questions that he asks the students.
The questions and answer format can be found in the course’ description.NAPA’S TAKEAWAYSOn the plus side, the company offers a free online meditation course for teachers.
However, the lesson has no set price.
Crouch hopes that meditation teachers will use the course to learn about meditation and also to practice their meditation practice at home.
The course is available to download from the Napa website, but Crouch does not have a pricing schedule yet.

Rodina (family) What chore did you last help your mother? I help her every day. Last I helped her with tiding our flat. I washed up the dishes and I vakuumed and I went out with our dogs. And I looked after my little brother. Actually this is the worst chore. My family is quite big and very crazy. We have a lot of fun together. I live just with my mother and my little brother. My dad lives in Český Dub with her new wife. But we are happy. My mum and dad don´t argue. And I have grandparents too. One grandma lives in Liberec and second lives in Semily. And I have got just one granddad, he lives with grandma in Liberec. And I have one great aunt. She is a nurse in hospital in Liberec and she is very smart and funny. She has got two daughters, they are my cousins. One of them lives in Swiss and second lives in Liberec and she works as a waitress. Do you have a pet? If yes, then describe it. Yes I have got 2 dogs. One of them is a quite bigger. Her name is Mája. She is black and she´s cute. I usually go for a walk with her. And second dog is smaller and brown. Her name is Bety. She’s quite old but she is still active and crazy. Both of them lives with us in our flat. How much pocket money should a student of your age get? Why? We should get minimum 200 crowns a month. Because we have to pay a lot of things. For example bus, or snacks or books to the shool. But I think that optimal pocket money is 500 crowns. Because we can also save some money for a christmas gifts or someone’s birthday and we don´t have to ask our parents every week for another money. What are some (dis)adventages of being an only child? I think it’s very big advantage. Parents have all of their time for you and you get all what you want. And you don´t have to look after younger siblings. And you don´t have to listen to older siblings. But disadvetage is that you are more guarded because your parents have only you. And you can´t ask your sibling for a advice or you can´t play with her. If you could describe your ideal partner, what would he be like?(vlastnosti, co musí mít rád) He has to be nice and friendly, he must be funny, he has to know how to make me laught. He has to love me and he has to like my family. we have to have the same dreams. Definitly he has to be handsome. It doesn´t metter what colour of hair or eyes will have.

We were recently afforded some interview time with Korn guitarist James “Munky” Shaffer and took the opportunity to chat about the band’s Grammy nominations/wins over the years. The multi-platinum (and two time Grammy Award-winners) were up for 2016’s “Best Metal Performance” with their song “Rotting in Vain” off their Nick Raskulinecz-produced album The Serenity of Suffering.
A kind and mellow Munky discussed Grammy Awards, his favourite Korn song ever, how Jonathan Davis thinks Korn is not a metal band, their Hollywood fan in Brad Pitt, Tomb Raider and much more!

your treatment. Side effects are often caused by the conditioning treatment you have to get your body ready for the transplant.
The side effects will depend on the type of conditioning treatment you had. People having a reduced-intensity transplant may have less severe side effects. Your transplant team will tell you more about what to expect.
When you go home after the transplant, you may still have side effects. You will be given drugs to prevent or reduce side effects. You will see your specialist doctor or nurse regularly. If you are worried about anything, contact them on the 24-hour hospital phone number you have been given. Always let them know about the side effects you have. There are often ways they can be controlled or helped.
You may be restricted to only a few visitors each day. The ward nurses will tell your visitors how to help protect you from infections. People should not visit you if they feel unwell or have an infection.
This t and short of breath. You may need blood transfusions until your body starts to make enough red blood cells again.
This treatment reduces the number of platelets in your blood. You are likely to need platelets as a drip (infusion) to reduce the risk of bleeding or bruising. Any platelets you have will be treated with radiation (irradiated).
The nurses will give you anti-sickness drugs (anti-emetics) ey canWe have more information about feeling sick.
We have more information about sore or dry mouth and ulcers.
During treatment, it is important you don’t lose too much weight. Try to eat small meals and snacks regularly, even if you do not have much appetite or if food tastes different. Your nurses and dietitian will give you advice.
Try to dday. Some people may need to have fluids through a drip until the diarrhoea improves. Let the nurses know if it does not get better, or if the skin around your bottom gets sore.

Because your immune system is not working well, you are more at risk from infections caused by different viruses. Some viral infections you had before may become active again. Your doctors will check for certain viruses that may cause more serious problems.
Before your transplant, you and your donor are checked for CMV. If you are CMV negative, doctors try to match you with a donor who is the same.
After your transplant, even if you have not had CMV, you have regular blood tests to check for it. People who have not had CMV may catch it after a transplant.
Most people have EBV at some time during their lives, but it can become active again after a transplant. If EBV infection gets out of control, there is a very low risk it may lead to developing another cancer after a transplant. Because of this, you have regular blood tests to check for EBV and treatment if needed. Your doctor will tell you more about this.
HEV is usually a very mild infection that goes away by itself. But if your immune system is weak, it may not be able to get rid of it. So over time it may lead to liver problems.
After transplant, the aim is for total chimerism (100%). This is when all your blood and bone marrow are from your donor.
Mixed chimerism means some of your own cells are still there. This is more likely if you had reduced-intensity conditioning.
Sometimes mixed chimerism gradually improves on its own. If it does not get better, doctors can treat it by giving you white blood cells (lymphocytes) from your donor. The aim is to increase the chimerism level to 100%.
The main risk of a DLI is that you might develop a condition called GVHD.

Staring out the window earlier this winter I thought it was a particularly cruel trick that it should be so cold without snow, which would make it at least aesthetically appealing to be outside. For those of you who, like me, question the wisdom of going out in the cold more often than necessary, the Daily presents a list of movies you can watch at home. Now, you could write your own list, but it seemed more fun and educational to get several different perspectives. Any list like this is apt to be incomplete, and the list makers frequently grumbled: “Why can’t we give you our top 20?” Alas, though the lists could go on and on, the line was drawn at five. Also note that some of the contributors included comments themselves, while for others comments were added by the author.
Sam Mendes’ huge hit exposes what everyone fears: that we’re wasting time running in the rat race. Superbly acted, funny and disquieting.
Another biopic, this time about an unlikely hero giving up profits to save lives in Nazi Germany. A moving film all around.
Both feature all-star casts and big names behind the scenes and both will have you feeling better about the potential of perseverance to actually pay off. They also work nicely as date movies as they’ll give you plenty to talk about.
Cassavetes once commented that this was an “.” Frequently cited as a key element in bringing cinema verité into Hollywood pictures.
Vittorio de Sica won an Academy Award (one of his four) for this movie before the “Best Foreign Picture” category had been invented. Widely regarded as one of the all-time classics, this is a tragedy with real heart-breaking power.
Revolution is all over in this film, and the film itself was nothing less than revolutionary. Silent, violent and way ahead of its time.
A documentary about the homeless living under the subways of New York. Not only did this film leave me speechless but the filmmaker knew nothing about cameras, film or lighting when he filmed it, so it’s also a miracle that it even exists.
The two best-worst movies ever. They are grouped together because neither can be considered a whole film and they both have the same plotline. For the truly masochistic: view the “Glitter” DVD with audio commentary on.
This film is part of our social fabric. It’s also scientifically proven that roughly 25 percent of our day-to-day conversations are comprised of quotes from this film.
A gripping movie about a Kurdish family’s journey to a better life in Switzerland; from open to close, the viewer is captured by the father and his family.
This is Dustin Hoffman’s first classic. In 1967 we all fantasized about life’s choices, as presented, and “The Graduate” gave us the vehicle. As memorable as any movie.
Titled “Atanarjuat” in Inuktitut, the main language used in the movie, this is a fabulous depiction of the Inuit people inhabiting the Canadian Arctic region. The backdrop is an intra-tribal conflict which allows all of the nonprofessional actors to shine.
Given my predilection towards fun and funny, and the then likeable Shirley MacLaine, this gets my final vote. In 1963, my friend Larry and I ducked into the theatre, hoping no one saw us, and sat through one of our greatest fantasies.
A punk rock cult classic. Full of everything a growing kid needs, glowing car trunks, weird and totally low-budget special effects, alien intrigue and more pinecone air fresheners than you can shake a stick at.
A funny, sad, intelligent movie from acclaimed Hong Kong director Wong Kar-wai. Two stories investigate life in Hong Kong and life in general through two cops and their private lives.
Just as the title suggests, this movie is a blend of Kung Fu and soccer. As the title also suggests, this movie is a hilarious send up of sports movies and martial arts/action flicks. “The Matrix” style visual effects along with the over-the-top caricatures make this a hugely entertaining comedy.
Incredible Michelle Yeoh stars as a village woman who discovers strength comes from embracing everything that you are, and that you can still kick a lot of butts while wearing pink.

Do you need to create PDF reports from PL/SQL?
Anton Scheffer wrote a PL/SQL package called AS_PDF3 that covers all the basics: Different fonts (including TrueType), images, and tables.
There's the commercial PL/PDF package that has more features, such as the ability to use existing PDF documents as templates for new documents, compression, encryption, and more. There's also an extra Toolkit component which allows you to extract pages from existing PDFs, combine multiple PDFs into one document, manipulate document metadata, and so on.
Using the above solutions, the PDF document must be generated via (your own) PL/SQL code. If you are looking for a visual report editor, check out PL-JRXML2PDF from Andreas Weiden.
There's a nice video of PL-JRXML2PDF in action over at Vimeo.
Generate PDF Reports for Free in Oracle Apex Using PL-JRXML2PDF and iReport Designer from Paul the Hermit on Vimeo.
Also, if you are using Apex 4.2 or later with the Apex Listener (aka Oracle REST Data Services), you can output report regions to PDF, and customize the layout via XSL-FO templates as explained by Mark Sewtz in his blog post.

Private viewing of 200 year old colonial-era drawings & watercolours
Mitchell Librarian, Richard Neville shares his passion for watercolour with Alison at a private viewing of the most significant acquisition of colonial-era drawings since the 1930s. The $7.1 million purchase, of six albums containing 741 exquisite watercolours, were sold to the State Library by the Earl of Derby whose forebears had kept them in the family seat of Knowsley Hall, near Liverpool, UK, since 1842. The watercolours are of the colony's birds, fish and plants, some of which are now extinct. ''Drawings were a critical part of how 18th-century naturalists understood the natural world,'' Mr Neville says. ''They were considered more authentic than skins. People were keen to classify things, put nature into some kind of order which made sense.'' Reading Room, State Library NSW. 27 March 2014

Thorpe addresses continuing gay rumours
David Alexander — July 12, 2012
Australian Olympian Ian Thorpe has again defended his sexuality and denied rumours he is gay in a new documentary to be screened on ABC1 this Sunday, July 15.
The documentary, Ian Thorpe: The Swimmer, takes a look at the unsuccessful sporting comeback by the five-time Olympic gold medallist earlier this year for the London games, after a four-year break from competitive swimming.
“I was down,” he says. “I call it the dark times.”The 29-year-old continues to deny that he is gay.
“Being asked about (being gay) gets annoying,” he says. “an’t define exactly what I am.”
Thorpe retired from the sport in 2006 after a decade spent competing with and dominating the world’s best. At the time, he indicated he would use his free time to study psychology and pursue other business interests.
After the failed attempt to make Australia’s swim team for the London Olympics, it is expected Thorpe will appear as a commentator at the Games starting in late July.
Ian Thorpe: The Swimmer airs on ABC1 at 7.30pm, Sunday.

urance). When I requested the generic; the doc told me the generic could be 20% less effective than the brand name because of the different suppliers. Is this true?
OMG…great topic. You forgot about my personal favorite. The md checks the label box and expects brand. On several occasions, I asked the pt if they did it after the fact and they said no, but who knows…
Another fav…the diltiazem er’s. OK which one? Did you ever call an mdo on that one for a new pt? They have no idea. It doesn’t really matter, but if you’re prescribing the drug, know it. Verapamil is another issue altogether. You really should call if you get verapamil sr 120 1 qd. Granted the tabs s/b bid and the caps qd, but there are exceptions. And again…you can see the blank stare over the phone.
I completely agree on Synthroid and Coumadin…doesn’t really matter, but whatever brand you start on, stay on it. The problem is that you can’t be sure unless you DAW the rx. To make things simple, DAW Levoxyl – it’s cheap anyway but Levoxyl’s a generic and usually cheaper than Synthroid as a rule. DAW Coumadin and I’d add Dilantin too in the list of frequently prescribed drugs.
As far as the 99.9% of the other drugs, there are RARE cases where a pt has a rxn to an excipient, but far away the exception rather than the rule. This rash of new authorized generics (for those of you who don’t know, often when the patent is lost, the brand company sells the brand product as a generic – EXACTLY the same thing) has proven that beyond a shadow of any doubt. We were dispensing the auth generic for Protonix – EXACT same tab, even said Protonix on it. I even called the mfg and they confirmed that it came off the same presses – NOTHING different and yet we had patients who SWORE it didn’t work but the brand Protonix did. Fine…you might as well throw dollar bills out the window, but that’s your choice! I’m just glad I’m not on your ins plan b/c I don’t want my premiums jumping up b/c of your stupidity!
I have a patient whose endocrinologist is unwavering in his demand for DAW-1 on Syntroid and Gulcophage, but doesn’t seem concerned at all about the 30 days supply lasting 40 days between fillings. It is hard to take his DAW-1 seriously.
I don’t know if other states have similar ‘rules’, but in Washington, if prescribers register with the state to be an authorizing prescriber (meaning they authorize substitution by the pharmacy of a formulary drug for all state insurance plans – Medicaid, L&I, and state employees) then they can sign DAW-1 to override the formulary restrictions. Example – patient has script for Diovan HCT. Dr is registered, but signs substitution permitted. The pharmacy substitutes lisinopril and HCTZ (of course, they review the patient’s history and make sure it’s appropriate) which are covered. If Dr is registered and signs DAW-1, then the Diovan HCT is covered. If the Dr isn’t registered, then the pharmacy has to go through the calls to change the script or to get prior auth.
In some cases, this system works well. In others, it’s just encouraged the Drs to sign DAW-1 for everything.
you know, not to sound all pro DAW-1…but the way things are going with reimbursements on generics (almost literary giving it away for free with people on some insurances) there is probably a better profit margin on dispensing brands ..albieit a very low profit margin…
thats how bad things are getting
what about lamictal? is that one that shouldn’t be switched? we have and there were no problems but i was just wonderin what you all thought. what i hate is when guests want a generic that DOESNT exist yet. and they argue that they have seen it online so it MUST be commercially available and then dont believe me so i have to get the rph to explain to them what i just blathered on to them about
Today I got a script for a DAW-1 Aerochamber. It provided us with a good laugh. 🙂
Have the people who created Prozac (or at least, bought the rights to the name “Prozac”) come out with some new study they’re blowing up the asses of gullible MD’s everywhere that says brand name Prozac releases better than the generics, Because in the past few weeks I’ve gotten two new scripts from two different doctors for Prozac 40 mg DO NOT SUBSTITUTE. I haven’t dispensed brand name Prozac in over two years and then that was to some yuppie who wanted brand name everything.
Doctors shouldn’t feel compelled to write DAW-1 on a prescription just because their patient wants them to. If the patient wants us to fill with the brand name, all they have to do is say at the drop off window is “I don’t want a generic, I want the brand name” and we will fill the brand name (even if the Rx is written for “Doxycycline 100 mg”.)
Sure it may cost a lot more and they may have to wait a couple of days while we order it, but thats just tough cookies for them.
Honestly – I think your fear is that you will be stuck with the remainder of the brand name instead of making the patient purchase etc. It has nothing to do with how the drug metabolizes in a patient. But with your cost that sometimes you are left with a balance of an expensive medication.
I am really struggling internally with not allowing myself to print this and fax it to every fucking doctor in my town who DAW’s everything, which by my count, is about 8 of them.
No it is not 20% less effective. See the following explanation:
Article; Pharmacist’s Letter; July 2008; Vol: 24
These assumptions are wrong.
The “20% rumor” originates from a lack ofshow bioequivalence.
The important point is that these results can’t vary much for the confidence interval to fit within the 20% range.
Keep in mind that generics are tested against the brand…NOT to each other. In rare cases this could mean slightly more variation amongst different generics.
For some very delicately controlled patients on narrow therapeutic index drugs, such as antiepileptics and warfarin, try to stick with the same generic manufacturer for each refill. View Detail-Document
My only other comment is about the NTI drugs mentioned. There was a study a couple of years ago that was conducted by the makers of Synthroid that attempted to prove that Synthroid was better than the generics. The results that the difference in bioavailability between Synthroid and the tested generics was equal to the difference between different lots of brand Synthroid. Of course they tried to keep these results as quiet as possible. Also, remember that either Maxzide or Dyazide was created because one was supposed to be the generic of the other (I can’t remember which one came out first), but had statistically significant better bioavailability than the current brand and couldn’t make less bioavailable to match the other so they decided to market their own brand. Just food for thought.
Danielle: Like someone else said above, generics can be slightly different than the brand name but the margin of difference is the same for different lot numbers of the brand name product. In general I think seizure drugs are iffy and one class of meds you’d be more willing to stick with brand name (if you’re using it for seizures, I

This is a large region, and the diversity is huge. In Queensland, the Great Barrier Reef, a World Heritage site, is a huge draw. But where to go to enjoy it?
If you don't want to be on a boat for an extended length of time, then staying at an island right in the heart of the reef is a perfect choice. Lizard Island is along the stretch of the Ribbon Reefs and within reach of the famous cod hole. Guests can snorkel right off the beach, and diving and snorkeling trips are offered to the inner or outer reefs. Or just laze on the beach, play tennis, enjoy other water spots, have a spa treatment and indulge in the gourmet food and wine. How can you go wrong?

Annex I Arc (2619 A.D.) Michelle is first seen together with Shokichi in Bangkok, Thailand, going to an underground arena looking for Akari, following their investigation. She was surprised that the underground arena was actually existing. They witnessed Akari fighting against a bear, and Shokichi explained that he is the same as Michelle, a Post-Surgery born, which surprised her. After Akari defeated the bear with his transformation, they confirmed that their information is correct and left the arena. They went to see Akari backstage, where they saw him beating some guys and asking them about Yuriko. The guy told him that they have sold her to Shokichi, and pointed at him. After Shokichi was able to convince Akari to join them, on their way out of the building, seeing both Akari and Shokichi crying for their lost love, she commented that this was kinda cute. Later Michelle visited Akari in the hospital after his surgery. She explained to him that they knew that his surgery would be success, even through the success rate is not very high. She also told him that they got around 100 people for their mission, which was a surprise for him, since the success rate was so low.

Daphne van de Bongardt cautions this result saying, “the meta-analysis included only 10 studies that examined peer pressure, and they varied considerably in the way in which peer pressure was measured (e.g., number of items, source and focus of the pressure). Overall, the literature could be clearer about what “peer pressure�? entails, and how it can best be measured. More research is needed to get more insight into adolescents’ own definitions of peer pressure, and the subtlety in which peer pressure may operate in adolescents’ interactions with peers.�?

BOY SCOUTS – VEGAN FOOD AT CAMP AND EAGLE CEREMONY
Times are certainly changing. When my son started scouts, the first year at camp he had to help prepare the regular troop meals, and then prepare all his own vegetarian food. The last several years he struggled to keep up his weight at camp as he ate around the 1950’s style food still being served. This year, amazingly, each night the camp had a tray of food using a meat alternative, as well as a primitive salad bar. My son and the scoutmaster who is now eating vegan feasted and my son actually came home not losing any weight. They were the only two vegetarians in the troop, but we’re guessing there were probably a few others staff or scouts at the camp who are vegetarian. Thank you to the chef who instituted these changes, as well as the food company which made the meat analogs, the food service distributor willing to carry the vegetarian options, and everyone who has spoken up in a positive way over the years.
Also, this month we did the food for an Boy Scout Eagle ceremony, so it happened to be vegan. Thank you to Whole Foods in Baltimore, which did a great fruit platter. Their fruit is always fresh, and they are always dependable. Also, thank you to One World Café in Baltimore which made a vegan cake with the Eagle Insignia, as well as three types of vegan cupcakes. We also served hummus with crackers and carrots, juice, carbonated fruit juice beverages (not the regular soda), and other treats. Though we and the scoutmaster are the only vegans and only one other person is even close to being vegetarian, the scouts and adults enjoyed the food and several asked for the source of the cake. It was especially joyful to watch one young boy who is lactose intolerant be thrilled that this was the first time he could have a piece of the cake at an event. Again, thank you to everyone who helps make change in a positive way.

I've never bought any jump rings before, but I've had a look and there are different metals and sizes. Could someone advise me please? Would 5mm be OK size wise? How about silver plated? Are they open jump rings?
Which sort of jump rings do you guys use?
PS I have little square seal-able plastic bags that I keep my small beads and charms in. Will it be OK to send each charm in one of those if I put a card in with my name?
oh, I love a good charm swap! Please sign me up.
chaosatlanta - Thanks so much for siging up!!! Have fun!!!!
Good morning. I have a picture of my charm in my gallery if you want a peek.

Woot Woot! Cheeka is in the house!
Well I've been limiting myself on swaps but mine is almost finished and the other swap i was in is done completely so it's time to do some ART. I love charms, the possibilities are endless. Has anyone ever made a catarpillar bracelet? I might with my charms!
cheeka- what is a caterpillar bracelet?
Some combination of these will be heading your way as soon as Phrixy finishes hers. I like the Nile goddess image for playing with too--she's great for theming on.
icekat, what are those made of?
icekat - Your charms are awesome!!!! Thanks for posting!!!!
I mailed mine a week ago.....yikes!!...hope they are there soon!
monarch...actually I haven't mailed my charms out yet (sorry!:unsure:)...things got hectic and they kind of got pushed to the side but I am ready now!!
Sorry, I've never done a swap with anything bigger than an ATC!
I'm getting worried about my charms. I can't remember when I mailed them but i'm sure it was 2 weeks ago.
Everyone's charms are so wonderful!
I mailed them off this morning.
The charms in this swap are incredible! I wish I had made more! I want one of everybody's!
Mine are already mailed...I think it was yesterday.
i love the mermaid one!
ceedee - Your charms came the other day....I dont't know where they have been but you had a wrong zip code off 58509 instead of 58059......................Anyway, thanks a bunch for the extra charm and for playing in this swap!!!!
adifferentstory - Your charms are finally here........ Thanks a bun!!
chronata - Your charms are here....Thanks so much for the fantastic prints that you sent me and for playing in this swap!!!!!!
Can I join? I have my charms all ready.
monarch...are you playing in the swap too?
Oh wow, I am blown away by the charms you guys are making!
I got inspired and finally made charms. I will scan and upload pics tomorrow evening as I am too tired at this time and have to work Saturday. Most were made with some paui shell (New Zealand abalone) chips I had. I am not sure how the scans will work, but they are irridescent and pretty.
Sometomato, I think your charms look really cool based on the scan!
Tiaragoth, are yours on bottlecaps? The pics are a bit small to tell. Looks like there will be some really great returns from this swap again!
timeinmyhands - Your charms are here....Thanks so much for playing in this swap!!!!!
chaosatlanta - Your charms are here....T!
knesi07
wowsa everyone - i better get busy! actually, I plan on working on my charms tonight!
Mailed mine off today, monarch! 10 for 10 and two for you, your choice.
Carol, I will be sending out my charms on Monday...bottle caps are not too large for this swap, are they? I have some scrabble tiles as well.
tiaragothOkay, my bottle caps are NOT going out today. I went to pack them up and they were all cloudy. I don't get it! They were almost dry and clear Saturday, then I leave them to cure all the way and they turn to mist...I've posted asking for advice in the forums (added on to someone else's question about diamond glaze) trying to figure out what I am doing wrong!
Polycrilic spray is working!!! Mine will be in the mail once they cure. YAY!!!!
My charms were mailed today! Several scrabble tiles, two bottle caps, and a few made using paper and UTEE beads. I hope you guys like them!
I will be packing mine up today and have them in the mail tomorrow.
Mine will go in the mail in the morning.
Mine did not turn out like I invisioned. Hope they will be ok.
I did polymer clay in the shapes of hearts, T-bears and stars.
sending mine out tommorrow !
Showed my charms were delivered to you on June 8th with my delivery confirmation but I haven't heard anything from you about it.
Mine are definitely, finally, absolutely on their way as of 1pm today. :) Leave it to me to wait until the last minute.
Would someone mind PMing me Carol's address? (I swear, I should know it by heart now, she hosts so many great swaps!) I sent her a PM requesting it this weekend and haven't heard back. She's probably busy, I just don't want to send them any later than they already are!
My charms have been mailed out, they should arrive on time says postal agent!
Ava , sent you the addy.
Thanks, mine went out yesterday. Forgot to take a pic, but I made scrabble charms using the techniques I learned from the queen of scrabble tiles, Joni. Can't wait to get the returns!
Some people who are good at soldering will wrap the edge of the tile in soldering foil, and solder a ring into the edge.
Lately I have been trying different ways to make the charms easier for the recipients to attach them as wanted, and have been trying out little clasps on the jump rings.
I have just found another diamond glaze and am comparing the two.... One is definitely thicker and more durable. No cracking with either though.
I did some research, and apparently I bought part of a bad batch that was bottled in November. I mailed it back to them because the website offered a replacement, so maybe that was my only problem!
I thought the deadline was the 20th?
Mine should be there by now too.
We've heard from Monarch - life got in the way, as it sometimes does. She's ok, and we should see her posting again shortly. Thanks for your patience, all!
Thanks for the update, Jean.
Thanks for the update Jean! So when do we get our much-awaited returns for this swap?
Thank you!! I also PMed Jean yesterday about the MIA swap hostess and charms but haven't gotten a reply yet.
According to the members list, monarch last visited the site on 7-8-2009 so I am not sure why she didn't reply to the thread?
She did update the 10 themed inchies swap. Jean probably didn't reply as i'd told her i'd left a message on here that i'd sent monarch a pm. Not heard anything back yet.
Do you suppose our charms are lost for good? I just want to know so I can move on and quit thinking about them!
monarch...if you are reading this...please post or PM someone and let them/us know what has happened. What ever it is, I'm sure we can find a solution if we work together! Please don't take advantage of the people here who trusted you...do the right thing!
i'm more concerned she's ill? sit tight, i'm sure we'll find out soon!
Has she?? I wasn't sure as I only just joined in February! I really hate to think such things...I mean, I don't normally think that way and try to see the goodness in all but you just never know ies on the internet!
I hope no one holds that against me...I just want to know what happened and when we can expect our returns or whatever?? I also would hate to think something awful has happened to her...but without any info...the mind begins to wander, ya know?
Carol, whatever you're going thru right now, know we're here to help any way we can.
I spoke to Carol this afternoon. She is ok, and she will post to the thread re: mailing the charms out.
Good to hear everything is okay, life gets to us all sometimes.
icekat - Thanks so much for the extra ones!!!!..
glad to see you're ok. monarch. no worries here.
avaelizabeth - Your chatms are here................Thanks so much for playing in this swap!!!!
I noticed several times in the last couple of days that you have logged in to the site, uploaded pics and are even hosting a swap on the Illustrated ATCs site and keeping upt to date on that. Why could you not do the same for this swap and the members here?
Monarch, We understand if you do not feel up to swapping them out but if you do not have a swap out date please send mine back also, No problems... just would rather not make it any more complicated for you.
lavenderlizarrd _ Your charms are here....Thanks
Thanks, Carol! I'm glad you're okay!

The Beatles – What's The New Mary Jane 1969 UK UNRELEASED ACETATE HEAR IT !
It's different because there is more cowbell, more screaming, more people joining in the chorus, and that french horn (?
Really, what bootleg is it on?
My Goodness…'bin glossing over many 'White Album ' sessions as of late…many which I'd never had the pleasure of before…but I've come to the conclusion that there's been few that rival this one in the Eternal Search for The "right" Sound…just when I've thought that I've heard every possible version available (on Earth!) someone points me into the direction of an entire recording session consisting of several unheard takes?This is gonna take some time to ponder…the 'White Album ' just took on a whole new meaning for me…perhaps its inclusion on the 'Anthology' project was a case of, "either this one or 'Carnival Of Light '?" and the latter likely pales in comparison…absolutely LOVE the version where Yoko is more prominent here…excellent…
While the bed tracks are from Take 4…There's multiple versions with clearly different vocal takes and noticeable differences in the overdubs…There's a misconception that John & Yoko did a bit of drugs and simply recorded whatever happened but they, in fact, worked real hard on this one…and apparently still didn't capture the right version which resulted in it being left off of the album…The best version I've heard so far is the one where Yoko sings considerably more than on the others…The recording I have consists of several versions (6-7?) but they're not in the form of separate takes…It's one long mp3 clocking at well over a half hour…didn't think that I could handle this song after hearing it only once but I listened to the entire session twice yesterday…I'm still in awe…
This looks to be from a little known business venture that fell at the last hurdle…There were stories that the next Beatles' single following the release of 'Abbey Road ' was to be 'You Know My Name (Look Up The Number)' as the A-Side with 'What's The New Mary Jane ?' on the B-Side…I believe that it was a legal snag with the B-Side that prevented it from going out…we ended up getting the A-Side for the 'Let It Be ' single instead…there are rumoured to be a limited amount of "unreleased" copies in circulation…
As nonsensical as it is, it's a fascinating song that quickly sticks on your brain then keeps on looping in your head. And the genius behind it was just noodling …
The real annoyance, though, which I must herald out loud, is that I just saw two separate commercials using a very amateur & polluted version of this song in the background . One was paid for by "vote.org" and within minutes the 2nd ad was a Facebook sponsored ad promoting 'voting' (while ultimately promoting themselves) with both ads, despite the noble cause, blatantly ripping off JL's ditty note for note and then looping it repeatedly. Roll over John. I was appalled•••• maybe I'm wrong and they paid Northern Songs?but maybe this one got thru the cracks. Then again, so what, look what they've done to my song!
Welcome to the forum!Here is a thread about Beatles songs being used in commercials that might interest you. https://www.beatlesbible.com/f…

There's a lot of promise but too much ground covered and too delayed a reward in this boarding school drama turned eerie fantasy. Set in debut author Healey's native New Zealand, the narrative follows snarky 17-year-old Ellie Spencer as she works on a production of A Midsummer Night's Dream with her asexual best friend, while stalking Mark, an enigmatic crush, and worrying about a string of recent murders. What starts out as a simple whodunit soon morphs into a surprising blend of magical realism and ancient Maori mythology involving a magic mask, Mark's mind-controlling charm bracelet, and beings of “weird ageless beauty” who live in the mist, shaking up Ellie's view of the world. While Healey's prose is skilled and her characters well-formed (Ellie is an especially charismatic heroine), minor plot threads drop off—such as Ellie's mother's cancer—and the process through which the deeper story is revealed (a battle for survival between a small group of human warriors and the “fairy people,” also called “patupaiarehe”) feels frustratingly drawn out. By contrast, the thrilling last third of the novel, dedicated to the climactic battle, seems underdeveloped. Ages 12–up. (Apr.)

WManufacturers in Crewe and Nantwich have expressed very real concern about the lack of progress in this area. Does the Minister accept that committing to a newU would resolve this issue, allow deals with all major global markets while allowing us the ability to strike our own deals for trade in services, which make up the vast majority of the UK economy?
I am grateful for the way in which the hon. Lady continues to press the importance of this issue; it is a view that I share. We set out in our legislation that we would publish the text at the point of signature, not at the point of initialling, and that is what this House ultimately voted for. We also said that we would publish the explanatory memorandum, and that we would set out differences between the original agreement and any changes in a statement, given that the original agreement was already scrutinised by this Parliament when it was introduced as an EU agreement. The hon. Lady raises an important point, however, about future trade agreements that were not covered in the Trade Bill; and following the completion of the Government consultation, I will set out the processes by which we will get active and real-time scrutiny of the future trade agreements.
The UK Government would probably leave DFS with a full-price sofa. Ministers have already indicated that giving up our protected geographical indicators would be a price worth paying for trade deals, wilfully damaging Scotland’s competitiveness in world markets. What guaranteed protections will the Secretary of State’s trade deals offer Scotland’s precious food and drink sector to compensate?
Ministers have always promised that these trade agreements will mirror the terms that these countries have with the EU and which the UK currently enjoys. Has the Secretary of State achieved this in the provisional agreements with Norway, Iceland and Liechtenstein, and how does he propose to achieve it in respect of Turkey’s trade relationship with the EU?2e

Miami Heat must break their own Turnover Chain
After 14 games the Miami Heat are again off to a slow start, sitting at 6-8. They have been in a lot of close games and with the injury to Rodney McGruder, Coach Erik Spoelstra is still tinkering with rotations to find the right mix. One issue that has plagued the team so far is turnovers. At the moment the Heat are averaging 16.6 turnovers per game and are giving the ball away on 15.3% of their possessions which is 27th in the NBA.
Dion Waiters has been a main culprit leading the team in turnovers per game at 3.3, which is well above his career average of 1.9. At times he has forced the issue and made ill advised passes on the break, at other times he has driven the ball into the teeth of the defense and given it up. His decision making must improve and this should be an issue that can be resolved quickly.
Next on the list is James Johnson who is second on the team in turnovers per game at 2.8, which is double his career average. Johnson has more ball handling and distributing responsibilities than your typical power forward so this may be part of the problem. If he is surrounded by other capable ball handlers, especially when he is leading the second team, he should be able to play off of the ball more and cut down on the turnovers. Johnson is one of the most important players on the Heat and his unique skill set make him very valuable. His other statistics have been very solid, and if he can fix this one issue he is poised to have another great season.
Obviously so early in the season this is not the time to panic, and once Spoelstra can find consistent and productive rotations this will likely lead to fewer turnovers. In any offense the distributors have to know where everyone else on the court is going to be, right now due to their unfamiliarity with each other this is not the case.
There is a long way to go in the season and Miami has a top coaching staff which is surely breaking down the film and working on a solution. Once there are consistent rotations established and poor decisions are cut down, the Heat can be an above average offensive team. In the weak Eastern Conference there is plenty of opportunity to figure it all out.

Those are the Top Four. And, not to brag, I have finally gotten to the point of saying my prayers daily and reading the scriptures daily. (After a decade or so!) Does writing a blog count as a journal? And I did lose 30 pounds 2 years ago, but have gained back 20 of it. Sniff. Sniff. Do I smell a repetitive New Years Goal in the making?

IMPLICATIONS: Neither intrathecal nor IV milnacipran, a monoamine reuptake inhibitor, inhibits an acute visceral pain response induced by colorectal or uterine cervical distension.
In contrast to this experience with chronic pain, systemic and intrathecal (IT) injection of amitriptyline fails to inhibit responses to acute somatic nociception in healthy animals, although it potentiates other analgesics (12,13). There are many differences in physiology and antinociception between somatic and visceral pain; the latter has only recently received much attention, and the effect of monoamine reuptake inhibitors on acute visceral pain has not previously been examined. Milnacipran, an antidepressant drug similar to amitriptyline, has a dual action on monoamine transporters, with equivalent inhibition (14). Milnacipran exhibits a minimal affinity to postsynaptic adrenergic, muscarinic, and histamine receptors and therefore produces fewer side effects related to other drugs in the same family (11,14). In addition, in the rat formalin test (a model of persistent somatic pain), milnacipran showed a moderate antinociceptive effect (11).
IT catheters were insertedns. In brief, animals were anesthetized with inhaled halothane (2%3% in oxygen) with spontaneous ventilation, and an incision was made in the dorsal skin of the neck, followed by blunt dissection of paraspinal tissue. A small nick was made in the dura at the atlantooccipital interspace to allow the insertion of custom-made polyethylene tubing caudally, with the tip located at the T10-12 region. Catheters were flushed daily with 10 µL of normal saline, and any animal that showed signs of neurological deficit was excluded from study. A minimum recovery of 5 days was allowed before any experiment.
The detailed method for colorectal distension (CRD) was previously described by Ness and Gebhart (20).(2%5%) in oxygen with spontaneous ventilation. Leftinserted under direct vision, and a tracheotomy was performed for mechanical ventilation. A custom-made 6-cm-long latex balloon was tied onto Teflon tubing, one end of which was connected to a manual pneumatic inflation device. The balloon was inserted into the descending colon and rectum through the anus.
For UCD stimulation, an 87.5 x g distending force was applied to the cervix for 10 s with an interstimulus interval of 5 min. On average, five to seven stimulations were required to reach a stable UCD-evoked EMG response. Therefore, this same distending force was applied for 10 s every 5 min until the end of the experiment. For IT injection, milnacipran or saline was administered via a microdialysis infusion pump in a cumulative dose manner, with doses separated by 15 min. The response just before the next dose was used as the effect of the previous dose, because preliminary experiments in other models showed a peak effect at 15 min. The experimenter was blinded to treatment groups. For IV injection, animals were given a single IV injection of milnacipran (10 mg/kg) or saline in a volume of 300 µL followed by UCD at 5-min intervals for up to 60 min. The injection solutions were prepared by a person not performing the experiment to maintain blinding. As a positive control, other animals received cumulative IT clonidine 0.13 µg in the same manner as milnacipran.
CRD stimulation was performed by manual inflation of the balloon, and the inflation pressure was monitored by a force transducer. Each stimulation was applied for 20 s, with a 5-min interval between stimuli. An initial stimulation response was obtained, and only animals with a stimulus-dependent EMG response from CRD in the 20100 mm Hg range were included for study. For IT injection, a single dose of either saline or milnacipran was administered in a volume of 10 µL followed by a 10-µL saline flush via a microinfusion pump over 3 min. CRD stimulation was thereafter conducted every 5 min for 60 min. For IVinjected, with CRD stimulation for 60 min as described previously. To determine the effects of chronic administration, ani(SC) saline or milnacipran (10 or 20 mg; n = 5 per group). Injections were administered twice a day for 5 days. On Day 6and spontaneous ventilation, and a stimulus response for CRD from 20 to 100 mm Hg was performed.
Milnacipran was provided by Cypress Bioscience Inc. (San Diego, CA), dissolved in normal saline, and prepared freshly on the day of the experiment. For a single IT injection, 10 µL of either milnacipran solution or saline was injected, followed by a 10-µL flush of saline. For cumulative injections, a freshly prepared milnacipran solution was administered in a 5-µL volume through a microinfusion pump, followed by a 10-µL saline flush. For IV injection, a volume of 300 µL was administered, followed by a 100-µL saline flush. On the basis of pilot experiments, which demonstrated that IV milnacipran 30 mg/kg produced significant hypotension and bradycardia, a dose range of 320 mg/kg was chosen for study. Halothane was obtainClonidinata are expressed as mean ± SEM. EMG data were analyzed by using a chart recorder with the rectified, integrated values but are expressed in figures for clarity as a percentage of baseline response to the submaximal stimulus. Stimulus response and cumulative drug dosing were
Submaximal UCD stimulation produced reliable evoked EMG responses, similar to those in previous studies (16,21). Neither IT (Fig. 1) nor IV (Fig. 2) milnacipran inhibited UCD-evoked EMG activity, although there was a numeric decrease in EMG response at 15 min with IV milnacipran (P = 0.064). In contrast, IT clonidine produced a dose-dependent inhibition, which was statistically significant (Fig. 1).
The role of monoamine reuptake inhibitors in enhancing spinally-released norepinephrine and serotonin to treat acute pain is uncertain. In general, these drugs are effective in chronic inflammatory or nerve injury conditions but much less so against acute nociception. For example, milnacipran produces a moderate inhibition of formalin-induced pain behavior (11). However, we have reported that IT amitriptyline did not produce antinociception alone, but it did enhance the analgesic effects of IV morphine in rats; in humans, systemic amitriptyline produced no pain relief from capsaicin-induced allodynia (9,12). This study is in agreement that milnacipran may have a limited role in the treatment of acute pain, whether it is visceral or somatic.
2-adrenoceptors in the spinal cord (21,24,25). These results indicate that the response to acute visceral stimulation can be inhibited by stimulation of the spinal
In summary, milnacipran produces no significant antinociception to either CRD- or UCD-induced acute visceral nociception, which suggests that milnacipran probably has a limited clinical application for the treatment of acute visceral pain.

One of the determining factors ofA pillow provides the comfort you need to fall asleep and offers head and neck support while ensuring your cervical curvature is aligned.
When choosing the right pillow, many people opt for memory foam pillows because of their contouring nature and incredible comfort.
But are memory foam pillows better than regular pillows? Memory foam pillows are better than regular pillows if you need good support to avoid and/or relieve back, shoulder or neck pain. Memory foam are also hypoallergenic, which are good if you struggle with allegies and/or asthmapillowinstead of a more regular pillow. So, read on to learn more about these pros and cons.
Memory foam is a polymer known as polyurethane. This type of bedding material softens due to pressure and heat from your body. This means it contours around your head, neck, and body, providing optimum comfort and support.
While memory foam pillows are a tad more expensive than regular pillows, the level of comfort and support memory foam provides is completely worth it. Memory foam pillows are designed exquisitely to improve your quality of sleep and alleviate any pain that occurs due to the misalignment of your cervical curve.
The biggest selling point memory foam pillows have is that they mold to fit each person’s body by responding to pressure and body heat. This means your head and neck are supported according to their needs, and this retains the natural curvature of your body and spine.
As you toss through the night, the pillow conforms to your positions and gives you the necessary support as needed. Unlike regular pillows where you have to adjust or plop up the pillow when you turn, memory foam adjusts and adapts quickly to your new position and sleeping posture.
Still on the issue of conforming and contouring, memory foam pillows go back to their original shape and form once you get up. The foam is resilient, strong, and will last a long timeIf you have used regular pillows in the past, you will appreciate the fact that memory foam pillows don’t turn flat even after several years of use.
Memory foam pillows are manufactured using hypoallergenic materials. They are especially recommended for asthmatic people because they prevent the growth of bacteria and allergens.
Memory foam pillows provide supportalso keeps your neck, head, and shoulder in the proper position, alleviating any tension or pain.
People n benefit significantly from using memory foam pillows. Sometimes the pain could be from the bad posture in the office and the car or strenuous activity, but proper alignment in your sleep helps restore your body to normal.
According to Nature’s Sleep, most pillows make your head tilt upwards and close off the airway. The result of this is snoring unless you sleep on your side. Thankfully, memory foam pillows allow your head to remain aligned with your neck and spine, so your air passage stays open, alleviating snoring.
Most people know the benefits of memory foam mattresses in relieving pressure points. This occurs because the mattress distributes your weight all over. A combination of memory foam mattress and pillow is the perfect remedy against pressure points that occur because of putting too much weight on specific areas of your body.
The conforming nature of memory foam helps relieve acute or severe neck and head pain caused byarthritis, degenerative spinal conditions, and disc disease.
Last but not least, memory foam is a consistent substance without annoying lumps. Even after years of use, the pillow remains as smooth and as firm as ever, which increases your comfort.
Chemical off-gassingf the chemicals used to make memory foam. Memory foam pillows are mostly wrapped in plastic at the end of production, and this chemical smell can get trapped inside until you unwrap the pillow after buying.
More often than not, you will notice a pungent chemical odor during the first days of using a memory foam pillow. Fortunately, the chemical smell dissipates within a few days to a week, unless you have a high sense of smell.
Until recently, the chemical smell was the least of your worries, as those chemicals were deemed poisonous and even carcinogens. However, manufacturers have stopped using toxic chemicals in the manufacturing of memory foam.
Memory foam is designed to be verybody heat. This means the pillow is bound to get hot and retain the heat the more your body produces heat. Not all foam pillows are created equal, though.
Somallows better airflow and maintains a cool environment. Be sure to check for information on breathability before buying a memory foam pillow, as it can get quite hot and uncomfortable.
As noted earlier, memory foam is greatly affected by temperature, and this includes external temperature. So if it’s a scorching day, the pillow can get quite soft and hot. Similarly, the pillow will become too firm if it’s freezing outside, which could mean you need to warm it up before you sleep.
Because memory foam pillows are made to be firm and compact, they can be a lot heavier than their down or fiber counterparts. This is only a problem if you carry the pillow, but it won’t affect you if you leave it on the bed.
Memory foam pillows are excellent for back sleepers as they offer the best back and neck support while aligning your spine. However, if you are a front or side sleeper, the support may be too rigid for you, and front sleepers find it difficult to breathe through the contouring.
Of course, we wouldn’t end the drawbacks without mentioning the high cost of these pillows. While you can get a regular pillow for under $10, an ordinary memory foam pillow will set you back at least $30. This is not the most expensive pillow, though, some pillows such as latex latex pillows cost way more than that.
Pediatricians do not recommend pillows for infants and toddlers under the age of two because they could suffocate the baby in their sleep. However, memory foam pillows are even more dangerous because of the way your head and neck sink into the foam, so it’s easy for a baby to suffocate, especially when sleeping on their tummy.
You are sensitive to chemicals. Memory foam is made with a lot of VOCs that produce an awful odor in the beginning. While airing the pillow for 24-48 hours helps, some people will still smell the chemicals and get affected.
You are allergic to chemicals. If you suffer from several allergies, it might be prudent to avoid memory foam. Visco-elastic foam is a petroleum-based polyurethane foam that a lot of people are allergic to. In addition, some memory foam pillows contain volatile organic compounds such as polyol, silicone surfactants, and TDI, which can affect your breathing system.
You sleep hot. Memory foam is not a breathable material, and it can get quite hot when you are asleep. If you are somebody who sleeps hot or sweats a lot in their sleep, choose a more breathable and cool material like fiber, latex, and gel.
While memory foam provides the best head and neck support, it only does this well for back sleepers and sometimes side sleepers. Front sleepers will still suffer from spine misalignment leading to neck pain, headaches, and back pain because foam is firm. Front sleepers also struggle to breathe well through the non-breathable material that is memory foam.
Having looked at what’s good and what’s not so good with memory foam pillows compared to regular pillows, what type is best for your sleeping style?
Side sleepers require extra support to ensure their head doesn’t sink to the level of their shoulders. This will put tension on the neck and aggravate pressure points. With that in mind, side sleepers should consider pillows with a higher density and a bit more support. We recommend latex, dense memory foam, or organic cotton pillows.
Memory foam pillows are the best for back sleepers for good reasons. The shoulders of a back sleeper rest on the mattress while their head is on the pillow. This means the neck and spine can lose alignment if the pillow is too dense. Back sleepers need to take the weight off their head and should consider a low loft memory foam or Down pillow.
Stomach sleepers suffer the same neck and head pain if their pillow is too lofty or dense. A stomach sleeper requires the lowest loft to keep their head at near mattress level.
This will ensure the neck aligns with the spinal cord. In addition, stomach sleepers suffer from waking up hot because their face is placed directly against the pillow. To reduce this problem, they should consider a very soft, low loft pillow that’s highly breathable. We recommend Down pillows and Down alternatives.
Combinations sleepers tend to change sleeping positions severally throughout the night. This calls for a good mix of loftiness, density, and breathability. That said, combination sleepers need to consider what they do to their pillows when they are asleep.
If they fold it over when sleeping on their side, they need something soft like a Down or fiber pillow. If they push it back, it might be because it’s too dense, hence they should find something softer. Memory foam and latex are the best for combination sleepers.
If you usually get neck and back pain, it’s probably because of the misalignment of your spine. The secret is to determine your sleeping style and find a pillow that promotes your head, neck, shoulders, and back alignment.
More often than not, people with back pain require a pillow with medium density and adequate support. We recommend memory foam and latex pillows because they are supportive and a bit dense.
If you weigh 200 pounds plus, it’s likely you are dealing with joint issues and overheating at night. The secret is to find a pillow that’s breathable yet dense enough to support the weight. Also, consider that the pillow will depress to a degree, so you have to compensate with one that has a high loft. For heavy people, we recommend buckwheat and high-density cotton pillows.
Are memory foam pillows better than other pillows? It depends on several factors, including your sleeping style, your weight, and other biological factors. Memory foam pillows have many benefits over regular pillows, such as being hypoallergenic, durable, adjustable, and incredibly supportive. However, they fall short on breathability, coolness, ease of cleaning, and cost.
With so many things to consider, the ball is really on your court to decide which pillow is best for you. Whichever choice you make, ensure you buy a breathable cover for the pillow to keep it clean. Instead of cleaning your pillow often, all you have to do is clean the cover so the pillow can last longer.

“We need to make the EU less of a science and more of a feeling” – EC VP Margaritis Schinas – Visualising, Analysing and Learning about EU Studies
by Nikitas Koutsoukis · July 12, 2021
The VisuALEU 2021 Summer School started today, with an insightful keynote by the European Commission Vice President for Promoting our European way of life, Mr Margaritis Schinas.
Following an introduction by the Academic Coordinator of the Jean Monnet Centre of Excellence, Associate Prof. Nikitas-Spiros Koutsoukis, and a warm welcome from the Rector of the University of the Peloponnese Prof. Athanassios Katsis, the European Commission Vice President, Mr Margaritis Schinas talked to the summer school participants and the audience about the “European Way of Life: A Europe that protects, a Europe that empowers“.
He was then joined by Professor Nicolas Demertzis (University of Athens; National Center for Social Research) and Professor Konstantinos Hazakis (Democritus University) framing the discussion by posing some challenging questions about how the European Way of life can be effectively realised. The panel session was moderated by Prof. Antonios Klapsis (University of the Peloponnese) from the Jean Monnet Centre of Excellence.
Set against a backdrop of an EU that is pondering about its future, a number of key messages were highlighted during this opening keynote and the discussion that followed; each just as important as the next. However, if we must choose three of them to recite in this post, it would be hard not to mention the following:
First, the European Way of life is more about being part of the “European family” and less about uniformity or establishing a “Homo Europaeus” per se; there cannot be a “one-size-fits-all” European culture.
The european way of life is not a bulldozer, it’s a mirror; it reflects who we are and who we want to be
MARGARITIS SCHINAS, EUROPEAN COMMISSION VICE PRESIDENT — PROMOTING OUR EUROPEAN WAY OF LIFE
Second, Europe has conquerred its own “Corpus Europaeum” of values and principles that are shared throughout Europe, reflecting the way of life in Europe as it stands and as the Europeans would like it to be when looking into the future and the future of Europe in particular.
Our best asset, our best leverage for the future, (…) is this Corpus Europaeum of values, around issues that we all care about, around a model of society that reflects the way we live and the way our children and grandchildren want to live
Third, and taking into consideration the ongoing Conference on the future of Europe, the future of Europe needs to be defined at the people level, by the Europeans themselves. To quote the Vice President, the [discussion for the] future of Europe should “(…) get out of the boundaries of those who think they master it (…); we need to make the European Union less of a science and more of a feeling“.
We need to make the European Union less of a science and more of a feeling
Margaritis Schinas, European commission Vice President — Promoting our European Way of Life
Looking back at this opening keynote, we, at the Jean Monnet Centre of Excellence “Visualising, Analysing and Learning about EU Studies” are profoundly honoured and deeply motivated by the Vice President’s keynote. Unexpectedly, perhaps, this last message is the very same challenge that we are striving to address through the activities of this Jean Monnet Centre of Excellence. Our goal, in “visualising, analysing and learning about EU Studies” is to capture the gist of the trend-setting European Union and of the community studying it, and relay its ‘feeling’ with less conventional and more novel, intuitive and insightful ways. This is marathon, of course but indeed we are looking forward to it.
Thank you Mr Vice President, for the honour to open our 2021 Summer School.
Mr Schinas’ keynote session was the first installment in the centre’s “VisuALEU Encounters” activity where we seek to engage and interact with politicians at the highest level, to get an insider’s view of how EU policy is made. The next “VisuAELU Encounter” is on Thursday, 14 July 2021, and is organised in collaboration with the European Parliament former Members Association; we will interact with fMEP Ms Marietta Giannakou and discuss about the role of citizens and parliaments in shaping the future of Europe. All VisuALEU Encounters’ sessions are open to the public and you can join us by registering here and be part of the next VisuALEU Encounter.

I read with great interest the editorial on Dec. 5, “Finding and fighting the enemy within.” It was a well-defined and educated piece, to say the least.
As a Korean War veteran, the editorial was well understood and appreciated. It spoke volumes on the subject of PTSD – post-traumatic stress disorder.
Tyler Curtis of Livermore Falls, a veteran of the war in Iraq, demonstrated signs of PTSD. I have no doubt that he experienced the mental pain associated with PTSD. There also is no doubt in my mind that the eternal God, supreme commander of us all, has welcomed Curtis home, where there will be no more sorrow or pain.

Helen Horton, Chief Research Officer, recently joined Touchlight from her role as Senior Scientific Director of Vaccines at Janssen and is leading the preclinical development of the vaccine at Touchlight: "Protection from the virus that causes COVID-19 will likely require strong, broad mucosal as well as systemic immunity. The plans moving forward at Touchlight, in collaboration with world renowned experts, should help to address these challenges."
Garth Rapeport, Visiting Professo previous CEO of Pulmocide and Respivert has joined the Touchlight nasal vaccine development team: "Mucos are known to play a critical role in the first line defence against respiratory viruses such as SARS-COV-2. We are excited by the potential of novel nasal DNA vaccines to induce highly protective local immunity compared with other delivery routes."
Jill Makin, Chief Development Officer, brings 30 years vaccine development experience to the program: "Touchlight's DNA is already being used in the development of drug products by ourthe synthetic production process lends itself to much more rapid and straightforward scale up and scale out in response to newly emerging viral pathogens than conventional biologics, it makes perfect sense to apply our technology to protecting against COVID-19. DNA vaccines can be simply formulated and are amenable to freeze-drying so offer the best solution to a stable and user-friendly dosage form."

In 2018, the gut is king. Poor gut health is linked to a new terrifying prognosis almost by the day. Depression, acne, digestive upset, and even chronic stress can arise from unhealthy gut microbiota. The abundance of inflammatory foods, toxic pesticides, and artificial colors and sweeteners have wreaked havoc upon our collective gut microbomes, and this has forged a whole new area of research and market of products meant to help fix the problem.
PEScience, most commonly known for their incredible protein products (as in Select Protein, Vegan Select Protein, and Select Protein Bars) as well as workout supplements (such as the Alphamine "athlete's energy drink") has tackled this issue with an exciting new product: Symbiont-GI.
The history of this supplement is selfish. Symbiont-GI arose as a personal supplement, as PEScience's formulators devised it for their own digestion issues. However, it was so successful for their GI issues that they had to release it to the marketplace. Now that it's been a couple of months since its release, we're told that it's been working so well that PEScience's customer support team are receiving all kinds of fun success stories from happy customers.
Symbiont-GI is an aggressive, full-spectrum supplement since they're not targeting a specific gut condition. Instead, they're focusing on general gut health, but with many ingredients that target a few specific conditions (like ulcers and IBS). While ththere are ingredients that certainly have promise.
Symbiont-GI covers a lot of bases, but first we need to discuss why they need such a powerful form of zinc!
PepZinGi is one of the most expensive forms of zinc ever produced. Structurally, it's a novel crystalline chelated compound complex comprising of L-carnosine (N-β-alanyl-L-histidine) and zinc. While zinc supplementation itself is already healthy, including a chelated form of zinc may allow it to interact with the cells of the stomach lining. This is likely due to including L-carnosine slowing down the dissociation of zinc in the stomach. Quite a brilliant ingredient.
When we get away from even just gut health, PepZinGI provides insane health marker improvements. It has been shown to help muscular dystrophy, wound healing, hepatitis, and even sensory disorders![8-11] Zinc and l-caronsine together are also potent anti-aging ingredients, mostly due to a strong inhibition of the glycation process.
So all of this sounds great, right? The main selling point of this ingredients are great, but when you look at the mechanism… it could just be a fancy form of zinc. Does it have much advantages over zinc supplementation itself? The current literature hasn't compared the two just yet. While PepZinGI compares well against a control drug… we haven't seen it compared to just elemental zinc!
So for now, we can't yet call PepZinGI a "holy grail" until a zinc comparison goes down. But for now, it's very promising, and anyone with gut health issues should really look into this research and ask if they need more zinc in their life. And if you do — then why not get a high-quality, chelated form like this one?
When we see expensive ingredients like this, we know that the brand means business. Anyone who's ever had digestive issues or ulcers knows that they want the absolute very best as soon as possible, and right now, PepZinGI seems to be it in terms of a zinc / carnosine complex.
Slippery Elm Bark is an ingredient we don't get to see at play often. Known as the "oldest stomach soothing herb" around, slippery elm bark should complement the PepZinGI present in Symbiont-GI well. The benefits from slippery elm bark likely come from its mucilage content. Regardless, supplementation should help those that suffer from IBS and constipation reliably.
The research on slippery elm bark is shallow, however. It's a unique inclusion, and even just one successful IBS / constipation study is enough for any sufferer to give it a shot. PEScience inspires copycats, so maybe research will pop up as the ingredient is used more often.
As we can already see, this is a multi-faceted product that's covering a slew of common digestive issues.
For instance, alpha-galactosidase supplementation is good at reducing gas produced by wheat and vegetable consumption. Our collective issues with wheat have only gotten worse over time (is it the wheat getting worse, or us? Or both?!)… so this is an ingredient nearly anyone should look into, unless you've already ditched wheat completely, which is always a smart move on the GI front these days.
And if you're reading this, gas is probably a part of the problem, causing some serious social distortion amongst your friends and family. Any amount of help to curb our gas production is a welcome addition to our lives. To top that off, PEScience even threw in lactase, which is a great bonus for those that suffer from milk sugar sensitivities (lactase breaks down the milk sugar lactose).
Meanwhile, there are several other ingredients, such as amylase (for breaking down starches), protease (for breaking down proteins – this includes the peptidase ingredient), lipase (for hydrolyzing fats), and getting back to the carbs, we have invertase to digest sucrose (table sugar), glucomylase (breaks starches down to simpler sugars like amylase does), as well as acid maltase to assist with glycogen.
As far as we can tell, there's no research on Bioscore Optimal in its current form, but we've covered the research on these individual ingredients and they all play major roles – some more important than others depending on what you're not producing enough of. This is strictly a digestive enzyme complex, and it looks like a superb one.
The future is looking bright for these blends. UMich, one of the best medical schools in the US, even recommends digestive enzyme supplementation . That's huge, and t the point that sufferers are silly to ignore supplements like these anymore.
LactoSpore is a shelf stable probiotic with some emerging research behind it!
LactoSpore is a new and patented probiotic complex featuring Bacillus coagulans MTCC 5856. Probiotic supplementation has become huge the last few years. If bacteria in the gut is so important, we need to get the good bacteria to win the war. Research on probiotics is indeed in its infancy, but scientists have uncovered some amazing benefits. More recently, an article showed that probiotic supplementation can even have antidepressant and anti-anxiety effects on those that may suffer from such conditions! The gut is far more important than we ever wanted to believe!
So this one may take some time to "kick in", but the research for IBS patients is very promising!
While the other ingredients are for the "short game" of getting you going immediately, LactoSpore plays the long game in getting your gut healthy for the future, and this might make it the "best" ingredient of Symbiont-GI as a whole for your actual long-term health… but it's the aforementioned ingredients you'll be feeling success from earlier on.
Symbiont-GI is one of our favorite creations. We made it for ourselves, and figured we'd share with the masses after everyone in the company saw such great results from it. Tons of people have GI issues but it's one of those things that's kept on the hush because it's an embarrassing topic. Now that people have been on Symbiont for a month plus, our CS team gets to hear all the lovely GI success stories! The reviews we have seen come into our website confirm the success people are having.
"Symbiont-GI" was the name we went with because our goal was to make a product that could have everyone's GI tract working in symbiosis. From one end to the other, we want that intestinal flora to work its best.
Three capsules a day for 90 days is the dose behind the LactoSpore research, and will keep you at 100% zinc needs!
Take 1-3 capsules daily, best with meals (we suggest "at first bite" to get the digestive enzymes ready to go sooner than later.
The max dosage of three capsules will make the bottle last a month, and that's probably the best way to start. If you've had success, you may be able to "cruise" with one or two capsules daily after that first month or two… but don't mess with success too much!
We love it when sports nutrition brands branch out and crush it in alternate markets where "normal" folks hang out. PEScience has some master formulators, and it shouldn't only be athletes who get to benefit from their brains.
Symbiont-GI has us excited for the future of gut health products. Only a few years ago, the research on probiotics and digestive enzyme products was "Mad Max" in nature. As the medical field realizes the importance of a healthy gut and enteric nervous system, we will see the dietary supplement industry take on this new frontier. For now, PEScience may rule supreme in the gut health arena with this product – and this is a brand that's not yet known in the "general health" realm. We'll take our sports nutrition experts against those from other market niches any day of the week.

← Wrong electoral system…
Giving evidence or theorising ?
An argument in favour of full time Members of the Upper House?
Did I really just hear Lord McNally, answering a question in the house, say that the 2010 general election cost 50% more than the 2005?Even allowing for compound inflation and the last government's casual attitude to fiscal rectitude is there some explanation for the rise – postal voting and/or anti fraud checks?
Is it the Lords' format that no one could pose a supplementary because I'm sure many people listening – and please some of those in the chamber!– did a double take at hearing the figures!
"Most areas are already holding elections so the additional cost is limited."
With the figure of £73.2 million for the last election, knowing we have years of cutbacks to get out of this black hole, how much extra will AV be to implement ?
If we are to have the AV system will the EU also be on the ballot sheet or is there no democratic choice there ?
"The man in the street would like a referendum on EU membership more than a system of voting."

I'm feeling it for the strawberry growers. The fruit is not ready and they can't afford to lose the crops now.

The garden will recover and life goes on. Of that I am certain.
I know it is disheartening to see a freeze come to your area. All of those tropical plants will protest. I hope it isn't as bad as predicted. Best of luck.
I hope you suffered no losses Meems. It didn't get as cold as predicted down here, and I've not ventured outside yet to see how things fared. At least the wind has died now. It sure was blustery yesterday. It is supposed to start warming back up again, let's hope so.

LifestyleHealth & FamiliesHealth News Health: I don't want to go bald ...
Male hair loss is not necessarily hereditary, or incurable. With luck, it may be reversed without surgery or expensive lotions, writes Simon Grey Simon Grey
Monday 4 August 1997 23:02 BST
Undeterred, I tried a treatment that I'd seen advertised in the papers: a solution applied directly to the scalp. The first shock was the price: if used every day, as recommended, it costs about pounds 50 a month. The manufacturers state that you should apply it for at least nine months before expecting to see results. I applied it for a year, shelling out about pounds 600. My bald patch steadily grew.
I was getting desperate. My pathetic attempts at hiding the bald spot - combing the remaining hair sideways - were causing amusement at the office. My girlfriend's attempts at reassurance - she pointed out that Sean Connery was bald, and said it added to my character - were having the opposite effect. I decided to try contacting a hair clinic advertised in the back pages of a men's glossy.
The clinic oozed luxury: an immaculate receptionist, soothing Muzak, plush furniture, flowers everywhere. I was given a free consultation, in which the surgeon impressed upon me the wonderful results that could be obtained by "painless" surgery. He showed me a gruesome-looking piece of equipment that would be used to pull out hairs and follicles from the back of my head and replant them on the bald bit (the same piece of equipment would have made a welcoming hole in my scalp). My replanted hair would continue to grow as normal. When I asked him whether I would not simply be relocating the bald area, he seemed uncomfortable, but only briefly: he then explained that he would spread out the hair "plugs" or follicles evenly to minimise thinning. If I continued to lose my hair, further surgery would be required.
"What happens when I have no hair left to transplant? Won't I look a right pillock?" I asked innocently. "Not at all," was the crisp answer. "We can reduce the size of your scalp by cosmetic surgery and hence reduce the size of the bald area." This is effectively a face-lift: an area of skin is removed from the top of the scalp and the two sides are sewn back together. But I was 31 - I didn't want to start thinking about face- lifts. The cost for the initial treatment was pounds 3,000; further treatments could cost more. I retreated as politely as possible. I did not wish to spend several thousand pounds having my scalp relocated.
At this point, it struck me that although I had been trying for 18 months to reverse my hair loss, at no point had anyone actually bothered to establish what the cause of it was. Why do some men start balding in their early twenties, while others have full heads of hair in retirement? I remembered being told by a doctor that it was something to do with the genes; but wasn't there more to it than this? I decided to read up on the subject.
However, there was a problem: for the punter, there is almost nothing written about male hair loss. Despite the fact that 50 per cent of men are balding by their 40th birthday and many are depressed about it, it is extremely difficult to buy a decent book on the subject. Maybe this is because men don't buy books about their health.
I therefore began to do my own research into male hair loss in the hope that not only would I understand why I was losing my hair, I would also learn what treatments would be effective and be able to spot when I was being conned. I contacted doctors, hair clinics, hair-care manufacturers and several trichologists, and I read just about every specialist book on hair that has been written, almost all aimed at student hairdressers.
In the past two years I have discovered that although most male baldness is caused by hereditary factors, hair loss, in men as well as women, and some are simple to treat. The reasons for my own were eventually explained to me by a trichologist: my diet (damaging my scalp); a habit of nervously twisting my hair (pulling it out); and poor hair care (rubbing in shampoo vigorously and rubbing my hair dry with a rough towel).
I started to watch my diet and treat my hair more gently (I bit my nails instead). After six months, my hair started to grow normally. I now have a full head of hair; not thick, but certainly covering the top of my head.
It is not always as simple as this - I was fortunate in that my hair loss was not hereditary. But as with any other condition, it is important to establish what the cause of the problem is before rushing into expensive treatmentsn
The writer's unpublished guide, `The Male Hair Loss Report', is available by mail order, pounds 14.95 inc p&p (from tomorrow, 01904 673944). The Institute of Trichologists (01625 862679) will provide a list of specialists in different areas. More about:

You didn’t address my point that if God is so big and powerful why he can’t make sure nobody steals these crackers or, even better, soothes the frayed nerves of his frightened sheep who see cracker thieves in every shadow, looking to disrupt services by putting crackers in their pockets, which I guess makes a very loud sinful noise when done during Mass?Something very loud and frightening?Sky turns red with blood?
And a history lesson isn’t really an attack. I just think we should see this in perspective. You know, the group that was responsible for the crusades, the inquisition, all of that fun stuff can’t handle one missing cracker?

The treatment the editors of InStyle call “the Ultimate Photofacial” targets sun damage, age spots, spider veins, rosacea, freckles, port wine stains and other vascular lesions and imperfections. The result is a radiant, clear complexion and younger, brighter appearance in just one or two sessions.
Approved by Health Canada, Lumecca is the most powerful Intense Pulsed Light treatment available for pigmented and vascular lesions. Non-invasive, it can be used to treat all parts of the body, most commonly those most décolletage, legs and arms. Check out the video!
We use Intense Pulsed Light (IPL) to spot-treat skin conditions with photo-thermolysis. This is a process in which a specific type and strength of light is delivered by direct heat. The heat draws unsightly and unwanted pigment to the surface of the skin, where it is absorbed by the body or simply flakes off.
During treatment, a bright flash of light will feel like a light elastic band snapping the skin. The contact-cooling system we use makes a Lumecca treatment a painless procedure. Redness and slight swelling are normal, and usually subside within an hour. Results are usually seen two weeks after the first treatment, with multiple sessions providing better results. Patients should avoid direct sun a month before treatment.

Government to adopt four broad themes to tackle challenges
Government said on Thursday that it would adopt four broad themes by which to tackle the challenges confronting the national economy in line with its social democratic agenda to promote “Better Ghana”.
Presenting the 2009 budget to Parliament, Finance Minister, Dr. Kwabena Duffuor said job creation would require the expansion of infrastructure, investing in
the country's human capital and providing transparent
He said the economy had to contend with lardi.
Besides there is the problem of low levels of productivity in agriculture, industry and manufacturing, among others.
Despite this, he said, the government was nevertheless committed to its pledge of providing improved social services to uphold the living conditions and dignity of the average Ghanaian.
Dr Duffuor said the policy thrust of the 2009 budget was therefore .
He said the main strategies to be used would include enforcement of fiscal discipline, significant reduction in unproductive recurrent expenditure and improvement in revenue generation (including dividends from state owned enterprises).
Infrastructure development in the roads, energy and water sectors will be accelerated and expanded whilst providing security and justice for all.
“These measures will be pursued within a process of monitoring and evaluation of all MDAthe achievement of objectives and set targets.”
There will also be attention on key expenditure in the budget in an effort to rationalize them and infuse some level of efficiency and value for money.
Some measures will include a critical look at the wage bill administration, the management of statutory funds, and the profitability, financial situation and relevance of state-owned enterprises and subvented organizations.
“In that regard Madam Speaker, Ghanaians should expect a significant change in the management of the economy. Managers of government institutions, especially state-owned companies, will be held to a high level of accountability,” Dr. Duffuor said.
The Finance Minister said government would also partner the private sector to provide the necessary enabling policy environment and incentives for both enterprise growth and believe that these strategies will lead to the delivery of improved and better social services within a secure environment for the people of Ghana,” he added.

Omission of Identification Confirmation on Currency Exchanges Under 1 Million Won. March. 31, 2005 23:49. by Chi-Young Shin |||EMAIL_ADDRESS||| From the second half of this year, when you exchange sums of money less than 1 million won, you dont have to undergo identification confirmation through passports and other identification cards.
Additionally, starting from the fourth quarter (October to December) of this year, the margin of insurance discounts for accident-free drivers and premium increases for accident-prone drivers As a result, consumers will have a wider range of selection in purchasing insurance.
On March 31, to reform Koreas financial environment for its development into the financial hub of Northeast Asia, the Ministry of Finance and Economy (MFE) has decided to relax 43 financial regulations before the end of this year.
The following are the principal regulations that will be alleviated.
Starting this July at the earliest, when you exchange less than 1,000,000 won you do not need identification confirmation.
The MFErevising the real-name financial transaction law ordinance and will be ready to institute the amendments by July.
Non-life insurance companies are now allowed to determine the discount and premium increase margins on car insurance autonomously. Presently, the Korea Insurance Development Institute decides such margins based on the annual standards reported to the Financial Supervisory Service, and as a result nearly all car insurances have a similar discount and premium rate.
Currently, investors may only hold Equity Linked Securities (ELS) issued in won or foreign currency ELSs issued by domestic companies. However, in the future, investors may acquire ELSs issued by foreign companies in foreign markets.
If this change takes place, investors may select foreign ELSs with higher returns than domestic ELSs.
Regulations concerning the operation of Money Market Funds (MMF) are also to be alleviated. In the future, MMFs with maturities of less than three months may be invested in Certified Deposits (CD) with maturities of less than one year. For the present they have be invested in those with maturities of less than six months.
Accordingly, the returns on MMFs are expected to increase.
The government plans to decide on the schedule of alleviation of regulations for 32 mid- and long-term projects by 2007.
First, the allowing of insurance companies to take on bank subsidiaries that specialize in sales of insurance products and consumer loans (assure banking) is under consideration.
It will be considered whether to allow possession of up to 15 percent of the equity of bank subsidiaries by insurance companies that are affiliates of conglomerates, like Samsung Life Insurance. Currently, industrial capital may possess only up to four percent of a banks equity.
Additionally, decreasing the small-and-medium-business loan rate of domestic banks to the level of foreign bank branches and relaxing the regulations on speculation areas Loan to Value (LTV) rates are also under mid- to long-term consideration.

Tim and I greeted our students: Simon and Bronwyn from Oregon and Matthias from France. How incredible of a small world is it that we traveled all the way to Indonesia to meet people from Corvallis, Oregon – less than 3 hours from our home town?
We helped our students select gear. I had forgotten that it isn’t apparent how it fits together. As a newbie, it’s easy to accidentally put your wetsuit on backwards.
After selecting gear, Tim and I did a demonstration of how to set up your tank with BCD and regulator, and then we all wore our heavy jackets to the pool. We set up the gear so that it was easily accessible to the students on the side of the pool so all they had to do was get into the shallow end, and walk over to their tank, slip their arms in their BCD and put it on. I learned later that there is an even better way, but this was my first time assisting, and it worked.
Our three students were doing a Discover Scuba Diving (DSD) course. This is a quick class that teaches just enough information for someone to know how the gear works, how to recover their regulator and clear it, how to clear their mask if it floods, and the basics of buoyancy. And then, almost immediately, we walk out to the boats, load the gear and head to the dive site. The experience is a few hours at most – a little taster to help a person determine if they will enjoy scuba diving or not. The price of a DSD course is applicable to an Open Water Course if students decide to go forward and become certified to dive.
Working as an assistant with the DSD course, I remembered some important things that will make me a better teacher in the long run. For example – I saw again firsthand how overwhelming it can be to have all this information thrown at you, and then to suddenly be out in the open water rolling off the back of a boat and descending in the big blue ocean. It’s intense when you are new. So Tim and I worked hard to anticipate the needs of our students anan interesting task, as the needs are always changing. Someone may need to remember deep breaths so they do not panic, or they may need to let air out of their BCD so they do not rise to the surface when the rest of the group is on the bottom, or they may need to add air in because they are not aware that they are sinking deeper than the rest of the group. During a DSD, the instructor and assistants need to be right next to their students so they can be close enough to handle problems and keep the student divers safe.
Our students were wonderful – Simon, Bronwyn and Matthias. They all had a great attitude, even when it wasn’t easy. Matthias was a born natural, and the diving concepts came easy to him. Simon rolled off the back of the boat the first time and came up with an awesome grin from ear to ear. And Bronwyn’s ears gave her a tough time because they did not equalize easily beyond 2 meters. Every body is different, and some bodies don’t do well with the pressure of more than one atmosphere. Similar to Yoga – some people go into it like the human bendi-doll, able to flex and stretch to the floor. Others may practice for years and still not be able to touch their toes because their bone structure is different and physically keeps them from stretching as deep. These are the most determined of yogis – for they have farther to go just to touch the floor. I was proud of all of them, and especially Bronwyn because she had more to overcome than the others, and still completed all of the underwater skills and managed to have a good time. I was very impressed with her positive attitude, Simon’s intellect and passion and Matthias’ aptitude.
They enjoyed the DSD so much that they decided to go on and take the Open Water Class. It felt less like a class and more like introducing new friends to the world of diving. Our instructor was very busy conducting three classes at once, so I made myself available to do log books, answer questions and study with the students during our time above the water.
During our time under the water, I assisted the instructor as the students completed the skills, being directly behind them and within reach when they removed and replaced their mask – to remind them not to kick and rise up blindly. Behind them during the fin pivot, holding their fins to the sandy bottom so they didn’t drift in the surge or rise too high if they added too much air into their BCD. But the part I enjoyed most was being there for them – being a watchful knowledgeable buddy, a reassuring friend, and a link between the students and the instructor.
“A squid.” I told him.
“Not really.” I said, smiling.
Our Open Water Class restored the newness of the sport for me. It really is an incredible world under there! The fish I see daily and barely examine now are fascinating to the beginning diver.
I remember being so enthralled with diving on one of my first trips to Cozumel that I wanted to photograph everything. I wanted to tell everyone how beautiful it was beneath the surface in the Turquoise Room! I wanted to know the name of every fish that swam by, wanted to learn the species of corrals and memorize their patterns. Assisting with this Open Water class brought back some of that magic, and I have my three wonderful students to thank for that.
Thanks to Sara Bartlemay for the underwater photos.
