The poor cost-to-coverage business scenarios result in low return on investment (ROI) for MNOs.

Hunt the cause.\nAs we are all aware. We are all connected. As a result, the cause or ‘driver’ of an injury can be at a site far from the location of pain. Whilst addressing the local site of discomfort may result in some relief, it often doesn’t address the reason it occurred in the first place. Injury prevention. It’s important.\nMost of the time, an area or tissue (muscle, tendon, bone) will become symptomatic if it is loaded adversely. Whilst the pain may be at the site of the tissue, there are many factors that contribute to why it may have experienced loading beyond what it is capable of managing.\nThese contributing factors can include: tightness; weakness; biomechanical variations; joint restrictions; individual anatomy; poorly designed training programs; discrepancies in strength between global and local muscle groups …the list goes on.\nIf these are not addressed, injury will likely reoccur either in the same or a different location.\nAt The Injury Clinic we will hunt the cause and not get distracted by the symptoms.

{"text": "Plano, Texas is part of the Dallas Fort Worth Metroplex. But as part of the greater DFW area, Plano is often overshadowed by its big-city neighbor of Dallas. I discovered that Plano is a great destination that has something for everyone. I recently took my granddaughter for a quick visit. Here is our ultimate guide to 48 hours in Plano.\nMust-See Sights in Plano\nI moved to Texas about two years ago. I've discovered since then that each city across the Metroplex has a distinct character. I'm eager to check out all of the cities, but I honestly wasn't sure what to expect when I accepted an invitation from Visit Plano to check out the city with my 8-year-old granddaughter.\nI'm thrilled to report that we were both impressed. We discovered a welcoming community with great family activities, upscale dining, impressive shopping, and outdoor entertainment all year round. Here are some of the must-see sights for the ultimate 48 hours in Plano.\nPlano is a great city with shopping, dining, and fun outdoor activities for all. Photo courtesy Visit Plano\nFamily-Friendly Activities in Plano\nSince we only had 48 hours, my granddaughter and I set out to discover the best family-friendly activities in Plano. We found plenty! Our top three were the Crayola Experience, Pinstack, and horseback riding at the world-famous Southfork Ranch.\nCrayola Experience in Plano\nBefore her visit, my granddaughter was so excited about the Crayola Experience. I was hoping it didn't disappoint, and it definitely did not. She's 8 years old and I think she's the absolutely perfect age for this activity. I must admit, I had a really good time there as well. So many crayons!\nThe Crayola Experience in Plano Texas is a child's fantasy, for kids of all ages who grew up loving those bright-colored crayons. Photo courtesy Visit Plano\nWe had such fun creating our own crayons, going through the hands-on activities, and animating our creations. We arrived first thing in the morning, so it was quiet and we had a chance to try out all the activities. She made a car out of wax for her big brother by choosing colors and watching the wax melt into a mold. She also had a chance to choose her two favorite colors (pink and purple of course) and creating spin art from melted wax.\nMy granddaughter used her favorite Crayola colors to create her own artwork. Photo by Susan Lanier-Graham\nWe spent a couple of hours at the Crayola Experience and I would suggest saving some time at the end to go through the gift shop. I may go back there to purchase Christmas presents this year. My favorite was the wall of hundreds of colors, where you can purchase your own colors in a box for a fixed price. The sheer joy of picking out exactly which colors you love the most doesn't diminish with age.\nThe wall of crayons! The pure joy of picking out your own color assortment! Photo by Susan Lanier-Graham\nPinstack Plano\nOur first evening, we headed over to Pinstack for an evening of great fun. To call Pinstack a bowling alley would be like calling Disney World a carnival. Pinstack is over-the-top fun for the entire family. We headed to the private bowling area, which is great for gatherings—from birthday parties to corporate team-building events. We had fun appetizers and desserts and all of us enjoyed bowling. Although my granddaughter had a hard time picking up the bowling balls. Never fear. Pinstack brought out a device just for kids that helped her get her bowling ball down the lane.\nBowling was only part of the fun at Pinstack Plano. Photo by Susan Lanier-Graham\nAfter our brief game of bowling, we headed out into the rest of Pinstack for even more fun. There's Laser Tag, Bumper Cars, a climbing wall and high ropes course, video games, and all of those fun carnival games that spit out tickets. My granddaughter loved the bumper cars and wanted to stay there all night. She was thrilled, however, to win a stuffed animal in the claw machine.\nHead to Pinstack in Plano Texas for some great food and fun for the entire family. Photo courtesy Visit Plano\nSouthfork Ranch\nFrom the moment I discovered I was going to visit Southfork Ranch, the theme song to Dallas ran through my head. Southfork Ranch, possibly the most famous ranch in the entire world, is actually in Parker, just east of the city limits of Plano.\nWhile visiting Plano, we had a chance to visit the famous Southfork Ranch, setting for the Dallas television series. Photo courtesy Visit Plano\nBefore our visit, I had to try to give my 8-year-old granddaughter some perspective. I was 14 years old when the Ewings came onto prime time television. I know my parents watched it and I remember watching it myself by the time the 1980 show aired about “Who shot J.R.?”\nRiding the grounds of Southfork Ranch outside of Plano makes for a fun afternoon outing. Photo courtesy Visit Plano\nI have to admit it was hard to explain the fascination with this show to a child. Even I was shocked to discover it aired on television until 1991. By the time we pulled up to Southfork, my granddaughter knew it was the set for a television show, but she was way more focused on getting to go horseback riding.\nMy granddaughter relaxed on her horse thanks to an amazing wrangler. Photo courtesy Dominick Miserandino\nWe took one of the one-hour trail rides and so enjoyed it. Southfork Ranch offers daily trail rides at four different starting times. You can book up to six riders at a time and our guide was fabulous with the kids. My granddaughter commented that the horses were “So big” and it was obvious she was a little intimidated. She had been on a horse once before, but this was her first time guiding her own horse on an open course. The wrangler found just the right horse and walked my granddaughter through everything. She was relaxed and had such a great time. And yes, so did Grandma Susan.\nHorseback riding at Southfork Ranch is a great activity for everyone. Photo courtesy Dominick Miserandino\nSouthfork Ranch also offers riding lessons at 8:00 a.m. each day. You need to make reservations at least 24 hours in advance. For those who want to discover everything Dallas-related (the television show), Southfork Ranch offers guided tours from the Visitor's Center each day. Tours depart every 30 to 45 minutes and are $16 for adults.\nOutdoor Activities in Plano\nI didn't have as much time to explore the outdoors as I would have liked during my 48 hours—I'll need another 48 hours—but there's so much great green space in Plano. In fact, there are about 4,370 acres across the city. There are more than 82 miles of hiking and biking trails.\nThere are miles of hiking and biking trails throughout Plano. Photo courtesy Plano Texas\nThere were a couple of other families on my trip with Visit Plano. While my granddaughter and I were out horseback riding, they went to Go Ape! This is an outdoor adventure filled with zip lines, tree-top ropes courses, and great thrills. The 3.5-hour Treetop Adventure has zip lines, Tarzan swings, and ropes courses up in the canopy. The experience is for everyone over 10 years of age, a minimum height of 4'7″ and a maximum weight of 285 pounds. This is $59 for those 16 and over or $39 for a youth 10 to 15, which must also have adult supervision.\nBook the 3.5-hour Treetop Adventure at Go Ape! in Plano. Photo courtesy Visit Plano\nDon't worry—you get an initial safety briefing and are fitted with a harness. Take the rope ladder up to the course, navigate bridges and more than 40 obstacles, and then zip line back down to the start. The longest zipline is 423 feet and the highest platform is at 28 feet. Go Ape! is in Oak Point Park & Nature Preserve in Plano. For those who want to explore the park, it has more than eight miles of trails along with kayaking and paddle boarding.\nGo Ape! is in Plano's Oak Point Park. Photo courtesy Visit Plano\nShopping in Plano\nI discovered some great shopping in Plano. It ranged from the fun and historic downtown to a luxury mall and an upscale outdoor shopping community.\nPlano's Downtown Arts District\nThe Downtown Plano Arts District is the quintessential charming downtown. Its brick-lined streets are an ideal setting for outdoor music, a farmers market, galleries, shops, and restaurants.\nDowntown Plano, Texas. Photo courtesy Visit Plano\nWe had dinner downtown at Hub Streat, which I talk about below. There was music on the corner and people strolling along the sidewalks. It felt like a true downtown. The Plano Station for the DART rail line runs right through downtown, making it easy to come to visit for the day.\nThe Shops at Willow Bend\nThe Shops at Willow Bend is a large indoor mall with more than 125 stores and restaurants. The Crayola Experience is located in Willow Bend. Shops are mostly well-known national and international brands. There is a broad range of offerings, from H&M and Skechers to Neiman Marcus, Bose, Brooks Brothers, and Louis Vuitton. There are a variety of entertainment events both inside and in the outdoor courtyards.\nThe Shops at Willow Bend in Plano, Texas. Photo courtesy Visit Plano\nValet parking is available at Willow Bend. Those 21 and over can experience Sip-and-Shop at Willow Bend. You start at the Ascension Annex where you can purchase beer and wine to sip while you shop. Willow Bend is off the Dallas North Tollway in North Plano.\nLegacy West\nWe stayed at Legacy West and I really enjoyed this urban space. Legacy West covers 250 acres and is off the Sam Rayburn Tollway within sight of the Toyota Motor North America Headquarters.\nLegacy West is a 250-acre urban shopping, dining, working, and living space in Plano. Photo courtesy Visit Plano\nLegacy West is ideal for families, or for an upscale visit to Plano. There are so many great shopping and dining options. During the day, many businesses operate out of the spaces above the retail shops. Then at night, the urban housing spaces fill up with residents that spill out onto the streets. Shops welcome those strolling past the water features and musicians set up on the corners. It feels like a touch of urban living here in the suburbs.\nWe enjoyed evenings at Legacy West in Plano. Photo courtesy Visit Plano\nShops range from personal care options like TruDerm and Venetian Nail Spa to retail options like Barnes & Noble Kitchen, Warby Parker, Tumi, and even a Tesla shop. My granddaughter and I enjoyed our walks out each evening to see everything happening in Legacy West.\nWe enjoyed strolling through Legacy West in Plano. Photo by Susan Lanier-Graham\nWhere to Eat in Plano\nWith more than 800 restaurants in Plano, it's obvious that you can't sample all the places to eat when you only have 48 hours in Plano. But, my granddaughter and I managed to eat our way across Plano.\nWow! Donuts & Drips\nWe both really enjoyed Wow! Donuts & Drips in Plano. This is definitely an “Instagramable” coffee and donut shop—it is such an adorable little shop with white subway tiles, glass display cases showing off beautiful donuts, and comfortable seating areas.\nWe loved the fun setting at Wow! Donuts & Drips but loved the donuts even more. Photo by Susan Lanier-Graham\nBut it's not just about the show. They offer amazing flavors as well. The coffee was great, but oh those donuts. It was my birthday, so thanks to Visit Plano, I received a fun birthday donut.\nOur selection of donuts was definitely a WOW moment. Photo by Susan Lanier-Graham\nThere are so many amazing flavors and each one is crafted as you order it. The displays are absolutely gorgeous and it's so hard to decide which donut to choose. So pick a couple. Some of the options include Twice Red Velvet Cake, Black Forest Cake, Apple Caramel, Maple Turtle, Nutella Kit Kat, Piña Colada, and Death By Chocolate. Wow! Donuts & Drips offered us some great wow moments for sure!\nLegacy Food Hall\nWe walked from our hotel through Legacy West to have lunch on our first day at Legacy Food Hall. I love a good food hall. They have been popular in Europe for years and are gradually making their way across the U.S. Legacy Food Hall in Plano is a great place for families, friends, and colleagues. There really is a little something for everyone.\nLegacy Food Hall is a great food spot in Plano's Legacy West. Photo courtesy Visit Plano\nWe each had a chance to pick out what we wanted, so it was a great choice. There is communal seating or more private tables both indoors and outside. Legacy Hall is a great blend of a food hall, beer garden, and craft brewery. The Box Garden is a great outdoor space built around reclaimed shipping containers. You can catch an event on the stage, watch the game or a movie on the massive outdoor screen, and order up amazing bites.\nEnjoy great food and events in the fun outdoor spaces at Legacy Hall. Photo courtesy Visit Plano\nThere's a great scene for kiddos, where they have family-friendly food, but completely fit for a grown-up appetite. I mean, who doesn't want chicken fingers—when they are fried in duck fat and sitting on a kale Caesar salad? That's exactly what we both ended up enjoying at local favorite Roots Chicken Shak.\nThere are bites and sips for every audience at Legacy Food Hall. Photo courtesy Visit Plano\nYou can find great sweets at SusieCakes and over-the-top desserts at Haute Sweets. Both were a huge hit with my granddaughter. And no need to worry—there is also a great selection of healthy options and vegan choices. They also offer a great happy hour and $5 mimosas every Saturday and Sunday.\nThe Boardwalk at Granite Park\nGranite Park is a master-planned community in Plano. It has office space, hotels, and great dining options. The Boardwalk ties together the retail, office, and hotel spaces.\nThe Boardwalk at Granite Park offers great entertainment and dining options. Photo courtesy Visit Plano\nIt's a fun place to sit and watch the water, listen to music, and grab a bite to eat. There are spots for the kids to play, or for the adults to get some adult beverages or a good coffee. The fire pits are ideal for cool autumn evenings and there are events for each season, from floral design classes and cooking demos to live music and a farmer's market.\nEnjoy outdoor entertainment along the Boardwalk at Granite Park. Photo courtesy Visit Plano\nMy granddaughter and I had dinner at Chip's Old Fashioned Hamburger. This is an additional location for a restaurant that has been part of the Dallas food scene for about 30 years. It's family-owned and the service is done with care. I had a bison burger that was amazing. Order it with the shoestring onions.\nMy other favorite is Edith's French Bistro. This feels like a little bit of France right here in Texas. They have an amazing pastry counter, serve high tea, and brunch is delicious. I had a Croque Madame that rivals those in Europe. For those who have never had one, it's either country ham or smoked turkey served on brioche with Gruyère cheese, Mornay sauce, and a sunny side up egg. They also have lovely crepes and fluffy omelets.\nHub Streat\nHub Streat is a fun eatery and the place to be in Plano if you happen to be a Green Bay Packers fan. Yes, here in the heart of Texas, Hub Streat is an official Packers Bar. We weren't there for football season, but it definitely has a great sports theme. It's a casual indoor/outdoor eatery in downtown Plano.\nHub Streat is a fun indoor/outdoor eatery in downtown Plano. Photo courtesy Visit Plano\nEven with such a fun, casual vibe, Hub Streat still serves up great food. They have tasty tacos, wood-fired pizza, gourmet burgers, and a selection of entreés. My granddaughter and I both ordered the Wood Fire Oven Cedar Plank Salmon. It was delicious—and my granddaughter wanted more. They do have a kids' menu as well, which includes pizza, sliders, and chicken tenders. Hub Streat also has a nice hand-crafted cocktail menu. I had a Mango Margarita made with mango purée. Other favorites with the adults in our group included the Hub Streat Honey Bee with Tito's vodka, strawberry, and housemade honey sour mix and the Hub Tiki Mojito with Cruzan strawberry rum, muddled mint, strawberries, and lemonade.\nI enjoyed my cedar plank salmon at Hub Streat. Photo by Susan Lanier-Graham\nAmorino\nOne of our favorite stops was at Amorino Gelato in Legacy West. This is some of the best gelato I've ever eaten—even comparing it to gelato I have eaten in Italy. The owners opened the brand in 2002 (although the Legacy West location just opened in December 2018). Each gelato flavor is created using organic and natural products.\nThe signature of Amorino is the rose-shaped cones of gelato. You can blend flavors to create your own Amorino rose.\nI chose the raspberry gelato for my Amorino rose. Photo by Susan Lanier-Graham\nWe ordered the classic and they were huge. You can even opt to add a lovely macaron to the top of your rose. My granddaughter opted for chocolate and salted caramel. She ate every last drop.\nMy granddaughter ate every bite of her chocolate and salted caramel Amorino gelato. Photo by Susan Lanier-Graham\nWhere to Stay in Plano\nPlano has some great hotels that meet a variety of budgets. From family friendly to luxury, corporate stays to extended stays, you can find a great hotel in Plano. The city has more than 6,800 hotel rooms.\nMy granddaughter and I stayed at Renaissance Dallas at Plano Legacy West. I really enjoyed the stay. The hotel is large, yet felt comfortable.\nRenaissance Dallas at Plano Legacy West. Photo courtesy Visit Plano\nThere is a unique blend of Texas cowboy charm and Asian features, a nod to nearby Toyota Motor North America, which you can see from the hotel. I loved the graphic behind the front desk. I asked about it and they explained it is a visual of the plane routes over DFW Metroplex.\nRenaissance Dallas at Plano Legacy West Front Desk. Photo courtesy Visit Plano\nI laughed that one of the bed pillows had the word “cowboy” on it while the other had the word “samurai” on it.\nI loved the pillows on our bed, blending Asia with Texas. Photo courtesy Visit Plano\nMy granddaughter's favorite feature was the Asian-inspired mood lighting in the bathroom. She chose to take her shower with the pink light setting.\nEach room at Renaissance Dallas at Plano Legacy West is comfortable with great bathrooms and views over Plano. Photo courtesy Visit Plano\nThe gorgeous rooftop pool and hot tub were also a huge hit. The views are fabulous from there. There are pool toys you can use or simply sit poolside and relax.\nRooftop pool and hot tub at Renaissance Dallas at Plano Legacy West. Photo courtesy Visit Plano\nI was thrilled on a hot summer day that there are seats in the shade as well as the sun. There are also fire pits for cool evenings.\nThe pool lounge on the rooftop of the Renaissance Dallas at Plano Legacy West. Photo courtesy Visit Plano\nThe hotel is in a great location at the entrance to Legacy West. This gives you so many dining and shopping options. You also have great dining options at the hotel. We had a delicious breakfast at OMA.

{"text": "Wednesday - 12/04/2013\nAttitudes are one thing, actions quite another. Surprisingly, the government's popularity (50 per cent of voters in the 1997 election) remains high despite the punishment it has administered.\nDeep cuts were made to health care, \"learning,\" and to the civil service through imposed buy-out packages.\nThe unkindest cut of all has been the technique of inducing fear in the electorate. We have experienced near-panic over the hyped deficit and seen real and threatened cuts to welfare recipients, the elderly, the disabled and people on AISH, and recently to mentally ill children.\nThis is not compassionate rule, let alone social justice.\nThe privatization of registries and other agencies has meant more money for a few owners and no savings for the rest of us. Excepting doctors' salaries, none of the cuts have been fully reinstated when inflation is taken into account.\nThere may have been some justification for austerity had the province been in the financial straitjacket claimed by Premier Ralph Klein.\nHowever, contrary, well-documented evidence in Kevin Taft's 1996 book, Shredding the Public Interest, and subsequent bloated budget surpluses have exposed that deceit.\nAlberta has scandalous abundance and a very high poverty rate (19 per cent in Edmonton). O'Neill is flatly wrong in stating that our poverty has different causes than that of Third World countries. The chief cause of poverty anywhere is lack of income in consequence of concentrated wealth.\nMeanwhile, corporate welfare continues unabated. Big business, as everyone knows but sometimes forgets, is a mighty determinant of public policy.\nWhen the Parkland Institute pointed out the shrunken middle class and the fact that here the rich are getting richer and the poor poorer faster than in any other province, the premier reacted.\nHe accused the institute of being \"anti-Alberta\" and wanted the University of Alberta to withdraw its funding. Who can be proud of assault on free speech?\nOne function of good government is to see that the conditions of life are tolerable, including freedom from fear. Its proper goal is social justice starting with policies that assure the fair redistribution of our wealth while protecting the environment.\nWhen Bishop Henry contends for \"the vigorous pursuit of the common good\" (as opposed to private gain), he is accused of having \"not a true understanding of our government's attitudes.\"\nThere are none so blind as those who will not see the injustices perpetrated in the name of democracy.\nIn a real democracy the citizens would control the government, not the other way around. Their role is to participate as much as possible in their own governance.\nThat means constantly debating issues to shape public policy for the good of all and not just at token \"summits.\" It means opposing the self-righteous attitudes and unjust machinations of any government and its accomplices.\nHow can you separate the two? My views on poverty, morality, education, economics, health care, etc., are all understood and seen through the eyes of faith and through my belief in God.\nYou cannot separate your life into spiritual and temporal divisions. For Henry, or any Catholic, to not speak out on all issues would make their faith simply empty words and meaningless.\nWe are compelled by our beliefs to speak out and act against injustice, inequality, and evil in society.\nI would like to commend Bishop Henry for his work in bringing issues into the public forum and making people aware of issues that affect all Albertans.\nKeith Johnson repeats some of it and adds more of his own making on July 12 (letters).\nBoth Moore and Johnson make the entirely unfounded assertion that a homosexual orientation is a matter of choice. Whatever else is established (and there's a lot that isn't), it has been quite definitely established that for a substantial number of people, it is not there by choice.\nThe official Catechism of the Catholic Church, states the situation as it presently is known succinctly and fully:.\"\nNo. 2359: \"Homosexual persons are called to chastity. By virtues of self-mastery that teach them inner freedom, at times by the support of disinterested friendship, by prayer and sacramental grace, they can and should gradually and resolutely approach Christian perfection.\"\nI would add that Johnson goes on to a second basic error: that homosexuality, by tendency or practice is addictive. If it is, so is heterosexuality. There is no evidence to his assertion and much that is against it.\nOf course, the great world seems to think that all sexuality is addictive, which is why it regards the Church's views on chastity and celibacy to be, if not impossible, then unnatural and unfulfilling. I am disappointed to see Johnson buying that argument in part.\nI had better quickly add that I'm not a homosexual, and that I do accept the Church's teaching on this topic . . . all of it.\nWhat better word to describe correspondent Keith Johnson (WCR, July 12). Yes, let us look at his \"facts.\"\nTo deny evidence of genetic, biological or physiological factors connected with homosexuals reminds me of the magisterium's denial for 400 years that the world is round.\nInnumerable scientific studies have verified such factors about homosexuals that are indisputable.\nTo quote Dr. G.J.M. van de Aardweg, of the Evergreen Society, as a scientific source regarding the non-existence of different genetic factors in the make-up of a homosexual manifests Johnson's ignorance.\nThe process Aardweg uses to convert homosexuals to heterosexuals through \"therapy\" is not only unethical, but also just does not work. Just ask a few homosexuals who went through such a demeaning process.\nAardweg's testimonials of successful \"conversions\" are selective, biased and far from scientific.\nTo equate homosexuality with necrophilia, pedophilia and sado-masochism is insulting, debasing and offensive to the estimated 10 per cent of the human race who are homosexuals and God's creation.\nTo hide under the cloak of the magisterium's letter to the bishops, misquoted gobbledygook, shows a serious lack of understanding of any sexual behaviour.\nI am thoroughly astounded that the WCR would print such a bigoted letter that only incites intolerance, derision, hatred and, often physical violence against homosexuals.\nIn a July 13 statement, the SSND's Baltimore province said Gramick helped people margin-alized by society \"live whole lives with human dignity.\"\nWith her province's support, it said she also helped \"foster the reconciliation of many gay and lesbian persons and their families with those institutions from which they are alienated.\"\nProvincial leader Sister Jane Burke announced establishment of a fund to support \"an individual in pastoral ministry to those who are gay and lesbian, standing firm in our commitment as women of the Church.\"\nCourageously, the SSNDs are upholding the church's time-honoured focus on \"the priority of the person.\" They also demonstrate how, in the face of absolute pronouncements, women religious continue to prophetically express hope and compassion in the midst of God's people.\nShortly after your news deadline, Justice Ged Hauko ruled that he was considerably narrowing the injunction which had gagged the media since April 30. It now prevents us only from naming or otherwise identifying patients and staff.\nAlberta Report had been agreeable to this restriction since breaking the story April 12, before we were taken to court. Under the order as it now stands, everything we published earlier we could publish again - unauthorized interviews with nurses, the nurses' allegation that victims of abortion sometimes survive and are left to die of neglect, the allegation that the CRHA's fetal diagnosis is often tragically wrong, and the allegation that nurses have been forced to participate in this odious business.\nThe only remaining restriction on publication is of the same sort that stops media from identifying minors charged under the Young Offenders Act, victims of sexual assault, children apprehended by Social Services, etc. We can live with this, and said from the outset that we would.\nIn short, the Calgary Regional Health Authority failed to get what it wanted: to prohibit media from publishing anything about \"patient experiences.\"\nThey were trying to expand the legal definition of medical confidentiality to an absurd breadth; so widely in fact as to make whistle-blowing by doctors and nurses legally impossible. That was their game. I'm pleased to report that they lost.\nOur mission: To serve our readers by bringing the Gospel to bear on current issues in the Church and in secular culture through accurate news coverage and reflective commentary."}

But it is important to keep in mind a pair of issues: the infield will need to make up a sizable gap that exists between this year’s Mets and both the ‘62 team and ‘93 team. And both of these teams lost well over 100 games, so just making up the gap with the infield is go get back to even with a pair of 100+ loss teams.\nAnd it is worth keeping in mind: the offseason’s inactivity means that injuries to any of the four infielders will result in a replacement level player at each position, or worse.\nJust to reiterate: this is not to say the 2013 Mets will be worse than the 1993 or 1962 Mets. But their outfield probably will be. And the very reason you don’t enter a season with such little talent is your Plan A is, attrition almost always forces you to find Plan B or Plan C during a long baseball season.\nAnd if you’d like to point out that the 2000 Mets went to the World Series with a limited outfield, Benny Agbayani (1.9), Jay Payton (1.9) and Derek Bell (1.5) rank near the top of this list. Lenny Harris, in 176 plate appearances, primarily as a pinch hitter, put up a 0.9 WAR, better than all projected 2013 Mets’ OF other than Cowgill.\nSo: not the same thing.\nI am well aware that this is a rebuilding season. I am shocked that, even by post-Madoff bankroll standards, the Mets haven’t done more to at least approximate a major league outfield."}

{"text": "A.\n“I think we should be alarmed,” said Penny Moore, associate professor at the National Institute for Communicable Diseases in South Africa and the senior author of the study.\n“Based on Penny’s data, it’s likely that the vaccine is going to be somewhat less effective, but how much less effective we don’t know,” said David Montefiori, a virologist at Duke University Medical Center.\nMontefiori added that this is the first study that gives him serious doubt about whether prior infection or a vaccine will protect against a new coronavirus variant.\n“This is the first time I’ve been concerned about a variant partially evading the immune response and partially evading the vaccine,” he said.\nBoth experts emphasized that people should still get the vaccine. It’s extremely effective against other forms of the virus and they think it likely will still give some level of protection against the new variant as well.\nThe study was posted on a pre-print server and has not been peer-reviewed and published in a medical journal.\nThis is one of the first reports to look at the variant’s effect on antibody potency. Labs around the world are furiously studying the issue and expect to report results within the next few weeks.\n“I worry desperately in the next six to 12 weeks we’re going to see a situation with this pandemic unlike anything we’ve seen yet to date. And that is really a challenge that I don’t think most people realize yet,” Michael Osterholm, an epidemiologist at the University of Minnesota and a member of President-elect Joe Biden’s Transition Covid-19 Advisory Board, told CNN’s New Day.\n‘A two-armed escape from the immune system’\nIn the study, Moore and her colleagues took blood from 44 people who’d had Covid-19. Nearly all of their cases were confirmed to have occurred prior to September, which is, and therefore had developed a stronger antibody response after their illnesses.\nThe culprits were mutations in two different parts of the spikes that sit atop the coronavirus. The vaccines work by targeting those spikes.\n“It was a two-armed escape from the immune system,” Moore said.\nMoore emphasized that these are results in the lab, and studies need to be done to see if people who’ve previously had Covid-19 get re-infected with the new variant.\nThe antibody assays did not measure other immune responses, such as T-cell responses, that are generated by previous infections and vaccines.\nWhat this means for the vaccine\nMoore’s.”\nMontefiori, the Duke virologist, agrees.\n“I don’t have any reason to think the results with people who’ve been vaccinated will be any different than with the people who had prior infection,” he said.\nFor several reasons, Montefiori thinks the vaccine will likely take a hit – but probably not a huge one.\nt\nFirst, the two vaccines authorized for use in the US work very well, so even if the new variant puts up a fight, the reduction in vaccine efficacy likely won’t be devastating.\n.”\nAlso, while surveillance in South Africa shows the new variant is becoming the dominant variant in the country, Montefiori points out that it’s been found only in small numbers in 13 other countries.\nThe UK, which has a very aggressive surveillance system, has found 45 people with the new variant, according to GISAID, an independent data-sharing initiative. Botswana has seen six cases; Japan has seen five; there have been four cases spotted in Germany; two each in France, Australia, Switzerland and Finland; and one each in Sweden, South Korea, Norway, Ireland, and the Netherlands.\nAlso, getting vaccinated might trigger a stronger antibody response than infection.\nMonday, researchers at Sheba Medical Center in Israel announced that an analysis of blood from 102 hospital employees who’d received two doses of the Pfizer vaccine showed their mean antibody levels were higher than those found in people who’d recovered from severe Covid-19. That study has not been peer reviewed, published or posted online.\nGet CNN Health's weekly newsletter\nSign up here to get The Results Are In with Dr. Sanjay Gupta every Tuesday from the CNN Health team.\n“That’s very good news,” Moore said.\nWhile scientists work out what effect the variant might have on the vaccine, experts advise that prevention, such as wearing a mask and social distancing, is the best course for bringing Covid-19 rates down – that and and getting a vaccine when you can.\nAmir Tal and Naomi Thomas contributed to this report"}

And so the software may be vastly different between companies, but all companies have similar goal in your ideas: develop quality software rapidly, on budget, which meets the client’s real needs.\nWhen the scope inside the project remains defined, the next factor is wonderful for that business analyst to collect complete needs. It becomes an essential project for a corporation analyst.\nThe organization analyst (BA) ‘s exercising how to locate the needs. Usually they’ll probably have material experts (SMEs) and/or those who use software to collect needs from.\nThe BA can also be accountable for defining the approach that they like for gathering the needs. They may possess a meeting within the conference room with everybody present, they might perform a combination of in-person by business call, or they might do several smaller sized sized sized sized sized sessions if folks are in lots of locations/timezones.\nThe BA must obtain detailed and take proper care of needs. This is a particular vague requirement: “Require opportunity to consider payments”.\nType of a more detailed requirement: “Require opportunity to consider payments via Master Card, Visa, atm cards, and checks”.\nWithin the above example, there’d be needs that will spin from that, but by identifying the greater detailed initial requirement, it can help the BA to understand other things to check out associated with accepting payments.\nThe BA can also be accountable for prioritizing needs. Some companies use similar to “Should Have, Nice to possess, Optional” even though some can use a numbering priority like 1-3 with 1 meaning should have the like lower next.\nYou must do that prioritizing step since it sometimes is important when thinking about scope within the project.

People either love this comic or despise it (and keep reading it in order to crap on other people’s opinions, oh Internet). I, shockingly enough, belong to the former group. Read more by clicking “read the rest of this entry.”\nIt’s different from the other comics I read. Simone’s style of writing is utterly drenched in characterization, subtlety, and nuance, and I absolutely love that. She spends a healthy amount of time in the heads of her characters, and she treats all of them with care (even the villains, 3 of which who’ve had touching backstories).\nIt’s also important to pay attention to detail. Sometimes, when I’m dealing with a freshly printed stack of comics, I rush through them. I did that with Batgirl #9 and finished the issue a bit confused. I went back and re-read a few words that I missed and inspected a few panels I overlooked and got chills immediately.\nIn short, it’s not a Michael Bay film. Which apparently makes some people angry.\nBatman, written by Scott Snyder with art by Greg Capullo\nMy approach to Batman (the character, not the comics) has always been that the Batverse is what’s truly interesting in Batman stories, not the character. His epic rogues gallery, Gotham City, and his legion of unique and quirky allies are far more interesting than Bruce Wayne. Whoopie doo, he’s a playboy billionaire who lost his parents and parades around in a tricked-out suit.\nSnyder’s take on Batman has reinforced my opinions on the former (that the Batverse is amazing) and challenged them on the latter. Batman, as a person, has had the crap beaten out of him in his storyline in a way that I’ve never seen before. And he shows weakness and emotional depth.\nIt’s like a Batman I’ve never seen before! Really.\nI’m not going to belabor how stunning this series is. Every comic book news organization/comics-fan-with-access-to-the-Internet has already done that.\nJust do it."}

{"text": "Homes are unaffordable in more American cities than any time since the recession began, and housing costs are rising far faster than incomes, according to a study released Thursday by ATTOM Data Solutions.\nDuring the third quarter of 2016, 24% of U.S. counties were less affordable than historic averages, up from 19% one year ago, the firm said; that’s the highest rate since the third quarter of 2009.\nIronically, affordability increased in the nations’s most-expensive areas, such as Northern Virginia and Brooklyn, N.Y. — probably because years of high price growth have finally started to level off, the report found.\nThe study uses an affordability index to measure whether homes for sale are more or less affordable relative to incomes. The index is based on the percentage of average wages needed to make monthly mortgage payments on a median-priced house with a 30-year fixed rate and a 3% down payment, including property taxes and insurance.\nThe report found that 101 of the 414 counties analyzed had an affordability index below 100. That means a median-priced home in that county was less affordable than the historic average for that county, as determined by ATTOM, the report said.\n“The improving affordability trend we noted in our second quarter report reversed course in the third quarter as home price appreciation accelerated in the majority of markets and wage growth slowed in the majority of markets as well as nationwide, where average weekly wages declined in the first quarter of this year following 13 consecutive quarters with year-over-year increases,” Daren Blomquist, senior vice president at ATTOM Data Solutions, said in a press release. “This unhealthy combination resulted in worsening affordability in 63% of markets despite mortgage rates that are down 45 basis points from a year ago.”\nThe counties whose prices are less affordable than their historic averages include:\n- Harris County (Houston), Texas\n- Kings County (Brooklyn), New York\n- Dallas County, Texas\n- Bexar County (San Antonio), Texas\n- Alameda County, California, near San Francisco\nMeanwhile, affordability improved in 153 counties (37%), including pricey spots like Marin County, California, in the San Francisco Bay Area and Arlington, Virginia (5%).\n.”\nBut that good news ends there. Any relief provided by improvement in household wages, as suggested by the recent Census report, was overwhelmed by housing price increases. “Annual growth in median home prices outpaced wage growth in 368 of the 414 counties (89%) included in the analysis,” the report said.\nThis is on trend: Since the beginning of 2012, median home prices nationwide have increased 60% while average weekly wages have risen just 6%, ATTOM said.\nBuying a Home\nProspective homeowners may have little control over housing prices in their area, but a substantial down payment can help you save over the life of your mortgage. So can a good credit score, since it generally entitles borrowers to the lowest interest rates. (You can see where your credit stands by viewing your free credit report summary, updated every 14 days, on Credit.com.) If your credit needs to be polished, you can improve your scores by paying down high credit card balances, disputing any errors on your credit report and limiting new credit inquiries until your standing rises. You can also potentially cut back on the costs of a home by negotiating a good price. You can go here to learn more about how to do so.\nImage: monkeybusinessimages"}

Air freight drives the world economy. The products that we carry represent 35 percent of the total value of goods traded internationally,” Bisignani said in a statement.\nAccording to Bisignani, in 2009, airlines carried 26 million tonnes of international cargo, which will increase to 38 million tonnes by 2014.\n“Transporting these goods safely, securely and efficiently is critical,” said Bisignani. He referred to crucial areas for cargo security like better supply chain, screening technology and digital data collection through E-freights.\nThe association is planning to lead a global effort to modernize the 40-year-old airport screening process with the next generation checkpoints.\n“Belts, shoes and shampoos are not the problem. We must shift the screening focus from looking for bad objects to finding terrorists,” said Bisignani.\n“To do this effectively, we need intelligence and technology at the checkpoint,” he said and suggested that governments should follow global standards on data collection and sharing of information.\n- Global air passenger traffic up 6 percent in February - Mar 29, 2011\n- Global air passenger traffic up 7 percent in May - Jun 30, 2011\n- Indian carriers to cut losses this year: IATA - Sep 23, 2010\n- JetBlue Airways adopts Kerala IT company's solution - Jun 21, 2010\n- All airline boarding passes now bar coded - Dec 16, 2010\n- Global aviation traffic up 8.2 percent: IATA - Feb 03, 2011\n- Middle East unrest upsets aviation sector - Mar 05, 2011\n- Air industry to earn net profit of $8.6 billion: Airline body - Mar 02, 2011\n- TSA Administrator visits Yemen, meets with security officials in Germany - Nov 04, 2010\n- India clocks second fastest air travel demand in June - Jul 28, 2011\n- Iceland volcano ash cloud: Governments must base decisions on fact not theory - IATA - Apr 19, 2010\n- India could be a market of over 4 billion passengers in near future : DG and CEO, IATA - Sep 23, 2010\n- Global air traffic up 8.2 percent in November: IATA - Dec 30, 2010\n- Aviation sector wants tax sops to lessen carbon emissions - Oct 23, 2009\n- IATA suspends Kingfisher from two more inter-airline transaction systems (Lead) - Mar 09, 2012\nTags: air cargo, air freight, air freights, air transport association, bomb plot, cargo security, checkpoints, director general, global effort, global standards, interception, international air transport, international air transport association, international cargo, nov 2, screening technology, security procedures, shampoos, total value, world economy"}

{"text": "I’m not really sure how I feel about ice fishing. I believe I have come to the conclusion that it is just what you do when you want to get outside and there is snow everywhere you look! I didn’t grow up ice fishing, but over the years many people have been willing to get me started on the basics. Last year was the hardest I had ever hit the ice fishing scene. I was graciously invited several times by Kevin Jones to go ice fishing with him and his family. Before this I usually just roughed it out on the ice with temperatures often times dipping below zero and the relentless wind howling at 25 mph! The first time I met up with Kevin on the ice he had what I considered to be beautiful, an ice fishing tent! The giant red Eskimo Quick Fish 6 posed on the ice like some camp from an arctic research team. When I entered the tent the warm air from the heater inside welcomed me. This was ice fishing! If i was going to be out fishing all day in the nasty winter conditions I was going to be warm doing it. I simply had to have one! Little did I know I would soon get my chance. Kevin and I fished pretty hard all day and caught many trout in the 14″ range. While sitting in Kevin’s “new that year” ice tent, I started to admire the new blades he had put on his ice auger. Sitting on a bucket, pole in a stand, I picked up the auger to get a closer look at the blades. Bad move! Kevin continued to fish as a looked the auger over, but when I went to put it back disaster struck. While I carefully and strategically went to place the auger back to its spot one of the blades barely touched the side of the tent! Ouch! Instantly a 4″ slit appeared in the tight wall of the tent. How do I fix this? Maybe Kevin won’t notice? There was no getting around the fact that I had just cut a hole in a $250.00 ice fishing tent. the only words that could come out of my mouth were, Kevin, I just put a hole in your tent. Kevin’s response, ya right, haha. As soon as his eyes met the light coming through the hole no words were needed. Uh………..that sucks. Interestingly enough Kevin shared the same thoughts I did. Well, I said to Kevin, looks like I’m getting an ice tent earlier than expected! I was not happy with myself that I had made such a dumb error, but it is a beautiful thing to have such a great excuse to give your wife about buying new gear! That day of ice fishing was one of mixed emotions and learning, but the important thing is that we got out and caught fish. Since my day of hard lessons learned I have used my “new” ice fishing tent to protect myself from the elements and I am happy to have it as part of my fishing arsenal. Make sure that when you go fishing that you keep your hands to yourself and to your own gear! Obviously these were some of my fathers words that fell on deaf ears.\nHere is a quick video of some ice fishing basics:\nI hope this information is helpful for anyone starting out with the sport of ice fishing, and I would also like to encourage you all to check out Earl's website at. Thanks Earl for letting me share your post."}
{"text": "Pakistan on lockdown as protests over anti-Islam film flare\nHundreds of Pakistanis have come together in the capital Islamabad to protest against the anti-Islam film that has sparked protest across the Middle East.\nThe vulgar depiction of the Prophet Mohammad in the American-made film has angered Muslims across the world, with many taking to the streets to rally against the film.\nThe protests came as France stepped up security at its embassies across the Muslim world after a French satirical magazine published crude caricatures of the Prophet. The latest issue of provocative weekly Charlie Hebdo, whose offices were firebombed last year, raised concerns that France could face violent protests.\nIn Pakistan, a crowd of more than 1,000 people tried to make their way to the US Embassy that houses government offices. Riot police used tear gas and batons to keep demonstrators away from the enclave, and hundreds of shipping containers were lined up to barricade the area.\nThe Pakistani government has since called a national holiday today so that people can demonstrate peacefully.\nThis decision drew words of praise from the Pakistani Taliban, who are usually at war with the government. A spokesman for the militant group said it welcomed the decision but also thought the government should expel all American diplomats.\nViolence over the amateur film, which portrays the Prophet as a fraud, womaniser and child molester, has left at least 30 people dead in seven countries, including the American ambassador to Libya. Two people so far have died in protests in Pakistan.\nThe US consulate in Medan, Indonesia shut its doors today for a second day because of demonstrations, while around 50 students from an Islamic university gathered in the country’s city of Makassar and forced a McDonald’s to close.\nIn Iran, hundreds of students and clerics gathered outside the French embassy in Tehran to protest at the French publication of the caricatures of the Prophet Mohammad. Protesters chanted “Death to France” and “Down with the US” and burned the flags of the United States and Israel.\nArab League chief Nabil Elarabi has called the French cartoons “provocative and disgraceful” and said their publication added complexity to an already inflamed situation. He said the drawings arose from ignorance of “true Islam and its holy Prophet”.\nA lawsuit was filed against Charlie Hebdo hours after the issue hit news-stands, the Paris prosecutor’s office said.\nThe French government has ordered its embassies, cultural centres, schools and other official sites to close today in 20 countries. The French foreign ministry has also issued a travel warning urging French citizens in the Muslim world to exercise “the greatest vigilance,” avoiding public gatherings and “sensitive buildings”.\nZanib Asghar\nYouTube\nRSS"}

The toy industry’s highest concern is the safety of children.\nDavid Hawtin, Director General of the British Toy and Hobby Association comments\nIt is typical of the environmental lobby to use expectant mothers and mothers with young children as targets in their efforts to draw attention to ’suspect’ chemicals or ’potentially’ dangerous chemicals in toys.\nThe reality is that the toy industry is strictly and comprehensively regulated - and has been for many years. Consumers should not be misled by concocted myths about ’suspect’ children’s toys. They are baseless.\nThe toy industry spends a lot of time and effort identifying materials that are safe. For this reason it supports the objective of REACH. However it is a direct contradiction of REACH to stampede manufacturers away from chemicals that have been risk assessed towards chemicals about which less is known.\nFor further information please contact Louise Uttridge on 020 7701 7271 or email louise@btha.co.uk\nNote to editorsa) The British Toy and Hobby Association (BTHA) members’ account for 95% of toys sold in the UK, working to generate consistently high standards of safety, quality and ethical behaviour.\nb) About toy regulations and standards\ni) Since 1990 toys have been subject to the EU toy safety directive.

They first looked at one company’s elevation masks that gym-goers are wearing, claiming to cut the time spent training by 2/3. It’s supposed to simulate high altitude, by creating pulmonary resistance, strengthening your diaphragm, increasing lung capacity, decreasing workout time, and so much more! Dr Rachael Ross argued that the masks would likely just make breathing harder. If nothing else, the masks are somply creepy looking, so you’re truly better off trying something else and letting this trend slide by.\nThe Doctors: Women & Children Banned From Homeless Shelter\nThe Doctors heard from a man who was literally dead for 12 minutes until lifeguards brought him back to life right there on the beach. (snowpeak / Flickr)\nThe Doctors then moved on to share that there are more than 550,000 people who are homeless on any given night in the United States. Thousands sleep and eat at local shelters, but recently, one shelter in Kentucky recently turned away women and children because the shelter was “primarily driven by male patrons” and there was a problem with patrons engaging in inappropriate activities. The problem is that the next closest shelter was 30 miles away.\nDr Travis Stork shared that he knew quite a bit about homeless shelters because, working in the emergency department, he often had to discharge patients to homeless shelters. If he didn’t discharge patients by a certain time, they wouldn’t get there. Kristen chimed in saying that the specific people who were breaking the rules should be asked to leave, rather than banning an entire gender. Dr Stork said because this shelter was government-run, they could really do whatever they wanted.\nWhat do you think was the right way for the homeless shelter to go about solving the problem?\nThe Doctors: Dead For 12 Minutes After Lightning Strike\nNext, in a Doctors exclusive, the family of a man named Bob shared his incredible story. Megan, Bob’s daughter, shared that July 27 the day started out like any other day. Eric, Bob’s neighbor, said it was a typical day at the beach, and Emily, another daughter of Bob, said there were a few clouds in the sky but it didn’t look like it was going to storm. Bob took Emily out into the water when all of a sudden everyone heard a loud crack. Megan saw a huge lightning bolt hit and Chris, a lifeguard, thought it sounded like a bomb going off.\nWhen Emily came-to after the strike, she was under the water. She started looking around and saw her dad floating on his back in the water, realizing something was wrong. She screamed for help and Chris sprinted to get Bob out of the water. Lifeguards repeated CPR over and over but Bob wasn’t breathing. Because of how long Bob hadn’t been breathing, the group began to realize that he was dead, but lifeguards continued to perform CPR, which led to Bob practically coming back to life. He walked out on set to join The Doctors.\nThe Doctors: Thankful To Be Alive After Struck By Lightning\nDr Bob Kilroy said he realized the importance of first-responders and CPR. Bob explained that he was wearing a wet suit which absorbed some of the shock from the lightning shock, but his feet weren’t covered so they’re still a little “numb and tingly.” He still swims and lifeguards with the L.A. county. Bob was actually dead on the beach for about 12 minutes, and credits his daughter Emily for saving his life. Emily was on the phone, sharing that she was given a great opportunity to help someone else in a way that is really special. Two of the lifeguards and first-responders that helped save Bob’s life were in the audience and they received loud applause.\nChris explained that if it seems like any storms are on their way, the L.A. county lifeguards will evacuate beaches completely to keep patrons safe.\n"}

The weekend has been changed to Saturday and Sunday, with Friday set as a half day.\nThe new system will be effective from January 1, 2022, in all federal government entities, and aims to align the UAE with global markets, reflecting the nation’s strategic status on the global economic map.\nThe new system of the working week will also include new official working hours. Public sector employees will work for eight hours from Monday to Thursday, starting from 7.30am to 3.30pm. On Fridays the work schedule will be from 7.30am till 12 noon, with possibility of flexible working hours and work-from-home (WFH) options. Friday sermons and prayers will be held after 1.15pm all year long in the UAE.\nWith this, the resource-rich UAE becomes the only country in the Gulf not to have a Friday-Saturday weekend, coming in line with the non-Arab world.\nThe longer weekends are aimed at boosting productivity and improve work-life balance."}
{"text": "Today.\nEven given the creationist stance that there could have been just 2000 pairs of animals on the Ark it is impossible. Looking at just 100 of the biggest animals gives us about 8 tons of excrement daily. 8 people could not haul 8 tons of shit up to the one little window the Ark had for ventilation every day for at least 150 days (it flooded 40 days and nights, but the waters were on the earth 150 days). Everything on the ark would have died from Methane and Amonia poisoing within a couple of weeks.\nNow that’s REALLY a bunch of shit! 😉\nThere also would not have been enough room even if using an aircraft carrier. Not to mention feed for the animals.\nThere’s a reason that it’s pretty easy to dismiss young-earther claims: they’re not biblical.\n@poppies: Ah yes, the classic “The Bible doesn’t say that” defense. If I had a dollar for every time I heard someone dismiss Biblical conflicts with some form of “you must translate the Bible yourself from the original Hebrew” I think I could afford to ignore the other 20 english language Bibles already out there and finally make the one “good” version with a my own translation. Right.\nSo you’re saying that it makes more sense because one article changes God’s command to gather “two of every kind of bird, of every kind of animal and of every kind of creature that moves along the ground” to “just mammals and livestock birds”? That’s pretty amazing since God did also seem to say he was going to flood the whole earth and kill all the animals. I know the Noah story doesn’t make any sense but your awkward reinterpretation of it leaves it making even less sense.\nSuper J, there are two possibilities I see as to why translation issues come up so often: either Christians are trying to evade explaining illogical texts, or it’s quite difficult to translate an ancient eastern language and conceptual framework into a modern western language and framework. As someone who has taken the time to study the Hebrew and Greek, you can guess which possibility I find more tenable.\nAs for the “whole earth” misunderstanding, check out.\nAnd finally, as for “my” reinterpretation making less sense, please provide specific examples of such; I’m more than happy to clear up anything that’s unclear.\nTo his credit Hugh Ross, Ph.D. sure does spend a great deal of time performing remarkable feats of theological gymnastics to try to make the Noah story sound plausible. Again, he clearly recognizes that the story is simply silly as written. In the previous article he uses alternate translations of Hebrew words to change the animals on the ark from 2 of every kind to just, well, mammals and chickens. Now in this article he’s resorted to limiting the overall scope of the flood to a strong rainfall in the suburbs of Mesopotamia.\nReally now, if he’s serious about all this I’m going to have to start to question the “omnipotence” of this so called God you’re peddling.\nNo offense poppies, but you’ve ignored a third possibility. The text everyone has been straining to translate into something vaguely coherent is in fact a collection of poorly written fairy tales from a a time long before science (and decent science fiction). Just my guess.\nJust curious poppies, why would a god destroy those not capable of sin? Even if you in any way show that this story had any validity, which it seems your link is more mere assertion, why would this god destroy that which isn’t capable of sin. Why not say, take the infants and small children?\n@Super J: I can totally understand how you would embrace the “third possibility” you mention. I assure you that while I haven’t mentioned it here, I certainly haven’t ignored it, and really, for most of my life, I thought of that as clearly the case with these stories. I considered them myths at best, and propaganda at worst.\nBecause of that background, I completely get where you’re coming from, and I really can’t imagine what I could possibly say or do to convince you to charitably consider the notion that the Bible is remarkably logical and explanatory when analyzed in light of Ancient Near East conventions. Anyone trying to convince my former self of this would have faced an impossible task, since it just seemed so obvious to me that these stories were the attempts of ancient nomads to explain that for which they had no scientific framework.\nMark Twain supposedly said “whenever you find yourself on the side of the majority, it is time to pause and reform,” and given that most people in modern culture view these stories as parables, myths, fairy tales (even the “religious”), it makes me tread carefully. In my studies of history, I’ve found that most of the biggest intellectual errors occurred as a result of someone toeing the line of their culture’s prejudices and unquestioned assumptions.\n@Barbara: It seems to me that the veil of true curiosity over your argument from outrage is so thin as to be invisible. I could be wrong, and if you really care to delve into the complex issues surrounding your “questions”, we can work out a forum.\n@poppies: I’m with you on the Twain quote however I find your (paraphrased) position that “the Noah’s Ark story is not a parable but perhaps a literal story but with limited regional impact” to be far more religiously apologetic than rebellious. Given that 90% of Americans proclaim an evidence-free belief in God, one might think the more Twain-esque reformative act would be to question that commonly held assumption rather than coming up with yet another way to rationalize the unbelievable.\nI don’t think the story is a myth because, like you, I think that there were ancient floods that these stories are based upon. I also don’t see it as propaganda because that has a very sinister tone and I’m not sure what real manipulation could be found in telling such an impossibly inflated tale.\nI think it’s just a story. A story that found its way into a number of religious books (it’s not just in the Bible) which by inclusion and exaggeration has been given clearly unjustified meaning.\n@poppies\nI see no hostility in my question.\nWhat I am addressing is the fact that god chose (and this is in many biblical stories) to include infants and children because of the “sins” of their fathers. Not their own sins. My question is legitimate. Dr. Ross points this out as I’ve added.”\nI am always surprised at reading apologetic writings. I would think that in defense of this type of action you would rather have the story read as parable rather than an actual historical event which shows a very angry and petulant god.\nMy question is:\nIf all “kinds” the animals traveled to the ark from all the corners of the world. How did they bring their food?\nKoalas eat eucalyptus leaves exclusively. Eucalyptus grows exclusively on Australia. Pandas eat bamboo exclusively. How did Noah and his family get enough eucalyptus and bamboo to feed those animals for 40 days?\nDid Noah store pounds of raw meat to feed the lions and tigers? Or did he bring extra livestock on board for such a purpose?\nAlso, the bible makes it quite clear ALL mankind and animals were destroyed except those on the ark. Where did the people that Noah’s grandchildren married come from?\nThis website attempts to explain the problem with the number of animals. Complete with a Doggie Incest Fact Chart that I just love.\n@Chris: What an awesome link! Check this quote out.\nI just love how they say “developed” and judiciously avoid the problematic (albeit more correct) “evolved”. That’s just awesome!\n@Chris: Holy crap (literally) that page is a gold mine! I was going to make another comment here but I absolutely need to make a completely separate post just to savor the nutty goodness of your link. Thanks again!\nMy pleasure. I often refer to that website when I need a quick laugh.\nOn a more sobering note, why do creationists constantly avoid obvious logical fallacies in their arguements?\nJust because the Holocaust is too horrible to believe and many of us weren’t there, doesn’t mean it didn’t happen.\n@April: What in the world are you talking about? I do wish you would consider reading the blog and the other comments before you post a comment.\nLOL…love the link. There was a lot of incest going on during biblical times. 😉\nOn that same site, he explains incest was okay during Adam and Eve’s time. It wasn’t until Moses that god decided to make it icky.\nBut maybe the whole thing was a science fiction parable-sorta like Jules Verne? They took totipotential stem cells of every animal and kept them in test tubes. THAT would make more sense. One of the “Bible Scientists” on the Christian Ayatollah Station even said that all the tectonic plate movements took place during and after the flood “the founts of the great deep.” There was WATER not Magma under the crust and Mount Everest did not exist prior to the flood so it was not inundated. ROFLMAO\nsay…maybe G-d used global warming! He injected nitric oxide and methane (both wayyy worse than CO2) in the air to melt the icecaps and glaciers. THAT would make a demented amount of sense! And Gondwana broke up Antarctica drifted South and absorbed all the water as ice. We DO know there are alkaline carbonates in the Himalayas that cooled the Earth by absorbing CO2 when the mountains were formed\nPS: the “Leviathins” (DInosaurs???) were mired in the mud of the Flood. If you wanna be Angel’s advocate, the aquatic turtles crocodiles alligators and frogs did NOT go extinct at the Jurassic-Creataceous junction, but the big reptiles did."}

I never thought that my dream of migrating to Canada could be turn into real with such an ease. Opulentus made it possible.\nRight from my schooling, I dreamt of overseas educational for higher studies. I always wished to become a successful business woman. In order to fulfill my goal I found the necessity to migrate abroad to study in a certified university or college. But I had no idea about the immigration process. I collected some information on Canada immigration process by browsing the net and applied for it with all required documents. But unfortunately it got rejected due to lack of details in visa application. I completely lost my hope of migrating to Canada.\nOne of my friends then suggested me to approach Opulentus team. I consulted Canada immigration team where members patiently answered all my queries and assisted me in my immigration process. They made a lot of efforts for successful visa approval. They regularly updated me about my visa status. The service provided by them is extraordinary and raised beyond my expectations. Visa process through Opulentus is quick and hassle free. Finally within a short period of time I got my Canada student visa.\nAt present I am pursing my MBA in one of the reputed universities of Canada. I am sure that soon my dream of becoming successful business women will also turn into reality.\nThanks Opulentus.\nOpulentus overseas career immigration and visa consultants are experienced and talented in the field of immigration from past several years.\nWhen I visited Opulentus, they gave me all the details and explained the entire process and guided me the throughout. Thanks to the entire and specially my case officer.\nI guess there’s no failure for Canada FSWP if processed through Opulentus. My brother’s visa was recently processed by them successfully. There’s a talk in the circles that Opulentus is expert at Canada FSWP."}

{"text": "Flashback Friday: Barbra Streisand’s Iconic Duet with Judy Garland\nDuring the last few years of her career, Judy Garland hosted The Judy Garland Show, a musical variety show co-starring Jerry Van Dyke. While Garland was popular with the critics, the show fell flat in the ratings and it was cancelled after just one season in 1964.\nThe show may have been short-lived, but Garland made that one season count with a star-studded guest lineup, including Nat King Cole, Tony Bennett, Bob Newhart, and Mickey Rooney.\nIn Oct. 1963, she welcomed a young up-and-coming singer, Barbra Streisand, to her stage.

{"text": ".\nPreviously, we have shown that collagen-related peptide (CRP), a triple-helical peptide containing a 10-fold glycine-proline-hydroxyproline repeat motif, when chemically cross-linked (CRP-XL), activates platelets specifically via GPVI.7,11,12 With CRP-XL, we have observed reduced responses in platelet aggregation with platelets from some individuals. We postulated that these differences may be associated with the presence of the different GPVI alleles.13 To address this question, we produced a high-resolution single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) map of the GPVI gene by sequencing the exons encoding the mature form of GPVI from 188 different chromosomes. This confirmed the earlier study13 describing 2 common alleles. We term these \"a\" and \"b\" and observed frequencies of 0.85 and 0.13, respectively, with the remaining alleles being additional rare alleles (N.A.W. et al, manuscript submitted, 2003). The 2 common alleles differ by 5 amino acid replacements, 3 in the stem (Ser199Pro, Lys217Glu, Thr229Ala) and 2 in the cytoplasmic domain (Gln297Leu and His302Asn), with allele \"a\" encoding amino acids SKTQH and allele \"b\" encoding PEALN. Genotyping of 1153 white blood donors for all 5 replacement SNPs identified 28 individuals homozygous for the lowfrequency \"b\" allele. We compared the level of platelet GPVI expression in donors homozygous for either of the 2 alleles and determined the functional responses to CRP-XL by measuring platelet aggregation, platelet activation (by whole blood flow cytometry), and thrombin generation. In addition, we studied tyrosine phosphorylation of platelet proteins after CRP-XL stimulation. In all assays, significant differences were observed between \"a\" and \"b\" homozygous donors. Similar trends were revealed in platelet adhesion to collagen under flow conditions both in a flowing whole blood model and in the platelet function analyzer100 (PFA-100) analyzer.\nSamples were obtained from donors at the Cambridge Blood Centre (United Kingdom) who either undergo regular platelet apheresis or donate whole blood. The apheresis donors have platelet counts exceeding 250 x 109/L and are biased toward A and O blood groups. In total, 1153 random donors were genotyped for the GPVI SNPs in order to identify adequate numbers of donors homozygous for each allele (N.A.W. et al, manuscript submitted, 2003). Homozygotes for the high-frequency GPVI allele (encoding amino acids SKTQH) are labeled \"aa,\" and for the low-frequency allele (encoding amino acids PEALN) \"bb.\" From these, a study group consisting of 29 (23 male, 6 female) donors, of whom 27 were platelet apheresis donors, was used. These donors were not selected on any basis other than their availability to donate and their GPVI genotype. All experiments were performed on paired (\"aa\" versus \"bb\") samples, freshly drawn with 19-gauge needles. An additional \"aa\" sample from one donor was used for calibration of the flow cytometry, platelet aggregation, and flow perfusion studies. The project has approval from the local regional ethics committee and is in accordance with the National Blood Service guidance for the use of donor blood for research. All the donors gave written consent, and none of them had used aspirin in the 5 days preceding donation.\nSNP testing for GPVI and GPIa (C52T, T807C) SNPs by TaqMan\nDNA samples from 1153 donors were genotyped for 6 GPVI SNPs (5 replacement, 1 silent T154C) and for 2 silent GPIa SNPs (C52T and T807C).14,15 Genotyping was performed by TaqMan as described by N.A.W. et al (manuscript submitted, 2003).\nAntibodies and other reagents\nThe following monoclonal antibodies (moAbs) or single-chain variable-domain antibody fragments (scFvs) were used: scFvs 1C3 and 10B12 against GPVI (P.A.S., et al, manuscript submitted, 2002), scFv 2D4 (antihuman leukocyte antigen A2 [antiHLA-A2]),16 scFv Fog-1 (antiRhesus D [anti-RhD]),17 and the murine moAbs NBS-P16 (CD49, anti-GPIaIIa)18 and 9E10 (anti-myc tag).19 Detection of platelet protein tyrosine phosphorylation in Western blots used moAb 4G10 (Upstate Biotechnology, Lake Placid, NY). The binding of scFvs to platelets was carried out as previously described in a 3-step assay using moAb 9E10 and fluorescein isothiocyanate (FITC)conjugated goat antimouse IgG (Dako, Cambridge, United Kingdom).16 The binding of the murine moAbs was assessed by a 2-step assay.18 Platelet expression of P-selectin (CD62P) and the binding of fibrinogen were measured with a FITC-conjugated anti-CD62P moAb (Pharmingen, Becton Dickinson, San Diego, CA), and a FITC-conjugated polyclonal rabbit antihuman fibrinogen (Dako), respectively. Phosphatidylserine expression on platelets was assessed by the binding of FITC-labeled annexin V (Molecular Probes, Eugene, OR). Phycoerythrin (PE)labeled anti-CD61 moAb (Pharmingen) was used to gate for platelets. CRP-XL was generated in our laboratory as previously described.20 Adenosine diphosphate (ADP) and GPRP peptide (an inhibitor of fibrin polymerization) was from Sigma Chemical (St Louis, MO). All the buffers for flow cytometry were passed through a 0.22-µm filter. Plasma von Willebrand factor (VWF) and fibrinogen levels were measured as described previously.21\nFlow cytometry for GPVI platelet surface expression\nSamples were tested for platelet surface expression of GPVI by the platelet immunofluorescence test,16 except that 150-µL test sample was used. For all experiments, antibodies were used at saturating concentrations. The following concentrations were used: scFv 1C3 at 20 µg/mL, scFv 10B12 at 50 µg/mL, scFv 2D4 at 20 µg/mL, moAb NBS-P16 at 1 µg/mL, and moAb 9E10 at 30 µg/mL. The median fluorescence intensities (MFIs) of 10 000 events were analyzed by means of a flow cytometer (Coulter XL; Luton, United Kingdom), calibrated daily with proprietary fluorospheres. The fluorescence for the negative control (moAb 9E10) obtained with each sample was subtracted from that obtained with each test antibody to give the corrected MFI (MFI Corr).\nWestern blotting for GPVI total expression\nSodium dodecyl sulfatepolyacrylamide gel electrophoresis (SDS-PAGE), Western blotting, and detection was performed as described previously.22 A rabbit polyclonal antiserum raised against recombinant human GPVI (residues 1-185) was used as primary antibody, with donkey antirabbithorseradish peroxidase (HRP) (Amersham, Little Chalfont, United Kingdom) as secondary. Blots were reprobed with monoclonal anti-actin (AbCam) and sheep antimouse-HRP (Amersham).\nPlatelet aggregation\nPlatelet-rich plasma (PRP) was prepared from fresh citrate (0.38% wt/vol trisodium citrate) anticoagulated whole blood by centrifuging at 1200 rpm for 12 minutes. PRP was adjusted to a platelet concentration of 200 x 109/L with autologous platelet-poor plasma (PPP) obtained from PRP by centrifugation at 7000 rpm for 10 minutes. Platelet aggregation was determined from light transmission in PRP (250 µL at 200 x 109/L) measured at 37°C in a PAP-4 4-channel aggregometer (Bio/Data, Horsham, PA) over 10 minutes. The results with each treatment were expressed either as the percentage of maximum aggregation (100% transmission) defined with the use of autologous PPP or as the maximum rate of aggregation or \"slope\" (calculated by the instrument). Platelet aggregation was induced by addition of either CRP-XL (0.01 to 2.0 µg/mL) or ADP (1.25 to 20 µM).\nPlatelet activation in whole blood with the use of flow cytometry\nWhole blood flow cytometry was used to determine platelet activation in whole blood by CRP-XL and ADP.23,24 Citrate (0.38% wt/vol trisodium citrate) anticoagulated whole blood (5 µL) was added to HEPES (N-2-hydroxyethylpiperazine-N'-2-ethanesulfonic acid)buffered saline (HBS) (145 mM NaCl, 5 mM KCl, 1 mM MgSO4, 10 mM HEPES at pH 7.4; final volume 70 µL) containing PE-labeled anti-CD61, CRP-XL (0.05 to 10 µg/mL) or ADP (1 to 100 µM), and FITC-labeled activation marker. Activation of GPIIbIIIa was determined from the binding of fibrinogen, analyzed with polyclonal rabbit antifibrinogen (2 µL per test). The extent of platelet degranulation was determined from expression of P-selectin with the use of anti-CD62P (10 µL per test). Surface expression of a negatively charged, procoagulant surface on the platelets was measured by the binding of annexin V (5 µL per test). After incubation for 20 minutes at room temperature (RT), the cells were fixed for 10 minutes with 200 µL 0.2% formaldehyde (BDH Laboratory Supplies, Poole, United Kingdom) in 0.9% NaCl. For annexin V staining, the HBS contained 1 mM CaCl2 and GPRP, and the samples were not fixed. Only CD61+ events (5000 to 10 000) were analyzed for a green fluorescence signal. Analysis was as reported before,24 and carried out with software Expo32 (Applied Cytometry Systems, Sheffield, United Kingdom). Data were expressed as the percentage of fluorescence-positive platelets.\nThrombin generation\nThrombin generation, initiated by CRP-XL, was investigated with the use of a modification of the method of Thomas et al (manuscript submitted, 2002). PRP was prepared from 30 mL blood anticoagulated with 15% vol/vol acid-citrate-glucose formula A (ACD-A), (70 mM sodium citrate, 40 mM citric acid, 120 mM D-glucose, pH 5.0) by centrifugation at 1200 rpm for 10 minutes. The PRP was acidified by the addition of 10% vol/vol ACD-A and centrifuged at 3480 rpm for 5 minutes. The platelet pellet was resuspended in defibrinated normal plasma (DNP) to 50 x 106/mL (platelet plasma). DNP was freshly prepared by thawing aliquots of frozen 6-donorpooled normal plasma at 37°C and defibrinated with 0.5 IU/mL ancrod (1st International Reference Preparation, 74/581, National Institute for Biological Standards and Control [NIBSC], Potters Bar, United Kingdom) for 20 minutes at 37°C. The fibrin was removed, followed by centrifugation at 3480 rpm for 5 minutes. To initiate thrombin generation, we added various concentrations of CRP-XL (at 25 µL) and 100 mM CaCl2 (at 175 µL) to 800 µL platelet plasma, maintained at 37°C by means of heating blocks (Techne, Cambridge, United Kingdom). The final concentrations of CRP-XL ranged from 0 to 5 µg/mL. Every minute, 30 µL platelet plasma incubation mixture was subsampled into the collection buffer (Tris EDTA [tris(hydroxymethyl)aminomethane] [ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid], pH 8.4) on a 96-well microtiter plate. At the end of each 32-minute time course, a chromogenic assay was used to measure the thrombin concentration of the subsamples in collection buffer. The chromogenic substrate S2238 (40 µL of 3 mM) (Chromogenix, Mölndal, Sweden) was added to each well, and after 3 minutes the reaction was stopped with 80 µL 50% acetic acid (Merck, Poole, United Kingdom). The optical density was read at 405 nm with the use of a Thermomax plate reader (Molecular Devices, Menlo Park, CA). The optical density data were converted into thrombin units by means of standard curves prepared with the 1st International Standard for -thrombin, 89/588 (NIBSC, Potters Bar, United Kingdom). As the biologically inactive thrombin-2 macroglobulin complex can still cleave this substrate, the data were then analyzed by means of a program that calculates and subtracts the amidolytic activity of this complex.25 The resultant data were used to create a curve of thrombin concentration against time, and the total amount of thrombin generated was quantified by calculation of area under the curve (AUC). The amount of thrombin generated by platelet plasma in the absence of CRP-XL was taken to be 100% for each assay condition. The differences between the time taken in the absence and in the presence of CRP-XL to reach peak thrombin generation (Tmax) was calculated as a ratio, with the shortening of the time represented by a ratio less than 1.0.\nTyrosine phosphorylation of platelet proteins\nPRP was prepared from citrate (0.38% wt/vol trisodium citrate) anticoagulated whole blood by centrifugation (1200 rpm, 12 minutes). After addition of 10% vol/vol ACD (39 mM citric acid, 75 mM trisodium citrate, 135 mM D-glucose, pH 4.5) and apyrase (0.25 U/mL), platelets were pelleted (2000 rpm, 12 minutes), followed by washing in 4 mL loading buffer (LB) (145 mM NaCl, 5 mM KCl, 10 mM glucose, 1 mM MgSO4, 0.5 mM EGTA [ethylene glycol tetraacetic acid], 10 mM HEPES, pH 7.36), 10% vol/vol ACD, and apyrase. Platelets were pelleted by centrifugation and resuspended in LB at 5 x 108/mL. Washed platelets were allowed to rest for 1 hour, before stimulation with CRP-XL at the appropriate concentration for the time indicated. Samples were stopped with the use of 2 x Laemmli buffer (130 mM Tris, 69.3 mM SDS, 0.37 mM bromophenol blue, 20% vol/vol glycerol, 10% vol/vol 2-mercaptoethanol, pH 6.8) and boiled for 5 minutes. Washed platelets for the maximum and basal standard samples were prepared from platelet concentrates as described previously.22 The maximum sample was stimulated with CRP-XL (10 µg/mL) for 90 seconds. Samples were analyzed by SDS-PAGE and Western blotting, followed by detection of tyrosine phosphorylated proteins with the use of antiphosphotyrosine (4G10) and visualization by enhanced chemiluminescence. Whole-lane tyrosine phosphorylation was quantified densitometrically by means of a Leica Q500 image analyzer (Milton Keynes, United Kingdom) and expressed as a percentage of the maximum sample to allow comparison between membranes.\nWhole blood flow perfusion under high shear rate on collagen type III surface\nThe flow perfusion experiments were essentially performed as described previously.21,26 Here, the blood was anticoagulated with 20 U/mL pentasaccharide (a generous gift from Dr D. Meuleman, Organon, Oss, The Netherlands) and 5 µM PPACK (Bachem, Budendorf, Switzerland). Thermanox coverslips (Nunc, Naperville, IL) were sprayed with human placental collagen type III (Sigma) solubilized in 50 mM acetic acid, and frozen at 20°C for not longer than 10 days. The whole blood was drawn through a minichamber for 2.5 minutes at 37°C at a constant shear rate of 1600 s1. Each sample was studied in parallel in 3 separate chambers. Platelet adhesion on the fixed and stained coverslip was quantified by means of a light microscope with 400 x magnification. We sampled a minimum of 20 distinct fields per coverslip, from which the mean surface coverage (percentage) was calculated.\nPlatelet function analyzer, PFA-100\nIn the PFA-100 method,27 platelets in citrate (0.38% wt/vol trisodium citrate) anticoagulated whole blood are exposed to high shear rate within a capillary that is coated with fibrillar collagen type I and either epinephrine (COL/EPI cartridge) or ADP (COL/ADP cartridge). Samples were tested in triplicate by means of both cartridges according to the manufacturer's instructions (Dade Behring, Marburg, Germany).\nStatistical analysis\nArithmetic mean, standard deviation (SD), and standard error of the mean (SEM) were calculated for most variables. The data are presented as mean ± 1 SD if not stated otherwise. The Spearman correlation coefficient was calculated, and the 2 test, 2-way analysis of variance (ANOVA), unpaired t test, or the Mann-Whitney U test was used when appropriate. The statistical analysis was performed by means of GraphPad Prism version 3.0a (GraphPad Software, San Diego, CA).\nExpression of GPVI on \"aa\" and \"bb\" platelets\nThe binding of the 2 noncompeting GPVI scFvs 1C3 and 10B12 and the anti-GPIaIIa moAb NBS-P16 was determined in 15 homozygous samples (8 \"aa\" and 7 \"bb\"; Figure 1). An additional \"aa\" sample was included in each analysis to control for interassay variation. The binding of both GPVI antibodies was significantly lower in the \"bb\" group than in the \"aa\" group (Figure 1). For 1C3, the \"aa\" and the \"bb\" donors had corrected MFIs of 8.0 ± 0.9 and 5.0 ± 0.6 (unpaired t test, P = .028; Figure 1A), respectively, and for 10B12, 6.7 ± 0.70 and 4.3 ± 0.50 (P = .0163; Figure 1B), respectively. A high degree of correlation between the results obtained with both GPVI antibodies was observed (Spearman correlation, P < .005, r = 0.92; Figure 1C). The binding of the anti-GPIa moAb NBS-P16 also varied over a 3-fold range (Figure 1D), but there was no significant difference between the 2 groups (P = .33; unpaired t test). There was no correlation between the surface expression of GPIaIIa and GPVI (Spearman correlation, r = 0.46, P = .09). When total GPVI levels were compared by Western blotting of platelet lysates (Figure 2A), we observed a significant lower density of the GPVI band in the \"bb\" group when compared with the \"aa\" group (Figure 2B; P < .001; unpaired t test) and a slightly faster mobility of the \"b\" over the \"a\" form.\nPlatelet aggregation induced by CRP-XL\nWe investigated the effect of the GPVI alleles on the aggregation response in platelets activated with CRP-XL or with ADP, agonists that use different activation pathways.28 A highly significant difference in the response to CRP-XL was observed between the 2 groups in platelet aggregation. The platelets from 8 \"bb\" donors required 3 times higher concentrations of CRP-XL than platelets from the \"aa\" donors to achieve maximum aggregation (2-way ANOVA, P < .0001; Figure 3A). This difference was also evident when the maximum rates of aggregation were measured in the same experiments (Figure 3C). Although there appeared to be a trend of greater sensitivity to ADP of platelets from \"bb\" donors, no significant difference between the groups was observed, either in the extent of aggregation (2-way ANOVA, P = .27; Figure 3B) or the rate (Figure 3D).\nGPVI allelespecific differences in platelet activation studied with whole blood flow cytometry\nMeasurement of platelet activation by whole blood flow cytometry showed similar attenuation of response in \"bb\" homozygotes relative to \"aa\" homozygotes. In the detection of fibrinogen binding, CD62P expression, and annexin V binding, the \"bb\" samples required higher concentrations of CRP-XL than the \"aa\" samples to achieve similar responses (2-way ANOVA, P < .0001; Figure 4). Interestingly, the pattern of annexin V binding was different from that of fibrinogen binding and expression of CD62P. Even at CRP-XL levels of 10 µg/mL, only up to 10% to 20% of platelets were annexin V+, whereas maximal fibrinogen binding and CD62P expression (70% to 90% positive) were achieved at 1 µg/mL CRP-XL (Figure 4). Further, even at 10 µg/mL CRP-XL, only a subpopulation of platelets became annexin V+ while the remaining cells did not show any binding (Figure 5). The baseline levels of platelet activation for 3 markers did not differ in the 2 groups (data not shown). The response to ADP resulted in dose-dependent changes in expression of all 3 markers, but there were no significant differences in the 2 groups (data not shown).\nThrombin generation evoked by CRP-XL\nWhen comparing thrombin generation in \"aa\" and \"bb\" donors, we observed the same profound difference. At the same platelet concentrations, the \"bb\" samples showed significantly lower thrombin-generating potential than the \"aa\" samples. Significantly lower AUCs were obtained with the \"bb\" than with the \"aa\" platelets (data not shown; 2-way ANOVA, P = .04). A significant delay in the time to reach peak thrombin generation, as indicated by the Tmax ratio, was observed with the \"bb\" platelets (2-way ANOVA, P < .0001; Figure 6).\nStimulation of platelets with CRP-XL leads to time- and dose-dependent tyrosine phosphorylation. The magnitude of tyrosine phosphorylation in response to CRP-XL was analyzed in 4 \"aa\" and 4 \"bb\" donors, and expressed as a percentage of the standard maximum sample. The dose-response curve of \"bb\" platelets was shifted to the right in comparison with \"aa\" platelets. In addition, the responses of \"bb\" platelets to CRP-XL were significantly lower than those of \"aa\" platelets (2-way ANOVA, P < .0001; Figure 7A-C). Platelets from \"bb\" donors showed delayed tyrosine phosphorylation in response to CRP-XL (at 5 µg/mL), and the response was significantly lower than that of \"aa\" platelets (Mann-Whitney U test, P < .0001). At 60 seconds, the tyrosine phosphorylation of \"aa\" platelets showed a characteristic decrease relative to that at 30 seconds. However, this is not observed in platelets from \"bb\" donors, perhaps suggesting a mechanistic difference in the tyrosine phosphorylation signaling (Figure 7D-F).\nCollagen-induced activation of platelets\nCollagen-mediated activation of platelets involves molecular pathways in addition to GPVI that are not mimicked by CRP-XL.29 We investigated whether the effect of the GPVI alleles was as pronounced when collagen was used for activation. We made similar observations when perfusing blood at high shear on pepsin-digested type III collagen or when testing for closure time in the PFA-100 in the presence of fibrillar type I collagen with ADP or epinephrine (Figures 8, 9). The thrombus formation under high shear rate after 2.5 minutes' perfusion appeared to be more pronounced in the 8 \"aa\" than in the 8 \"bb\" samples (45.6% ± 6.3% versus 36.9% ± 13.4%, respectively) although the difference did not quite reach statistical significance (Mann-Whitney U test, P = .065; Figure 8). In the \"bb\" group, 2 of the highest surface coverage values were obtained with donor samples with relatively high plasma VWF levels (26.4 µg/mL and 13.8 µg/mL). When analyzed in the PFA-100, longer closure times were observed in \"bb\" donors with both collagen/epinephrine (\"bb,\" 132 ± 41 seconds; \"aa,\" 117 ± 20 seconds) and collagen/ADP cartridges (\"bb,\" 111 ± 40 seconds; \"aa,\" 91 ± 24 seconds) than in \"aa\" donors although the difference did not quite reach statistical significance (unpaired t test, P = .061 and P = .084, respectively; Figure 9).\nWe genotyped 1153 volunteers for all 5 SNPs (alleles Ser199Pro, Lys217Glu, Thr229Ala, Gln297Leu, and His302Asn) and identified 755 (65%) homozygotes for the high-frequency allele, 28 (2%) homozygotes for the low-frequency allele, and 290 heterozygotes. The remaining 80 were examples of rare hybrid alleles (N.A.W. et al, unpublished data, 2002). Platelets from 15 individuals selected as homozygous \"aa\" and \"bb\" revealed a significant difference in membrane expression of GPVI (Figure 1). It is unlikely that this difference is caused by mutations in the antibody-binding sites. First, the 2 antibodies bind in a noncompetitive manner to different epitopes on the 2 immunoglobulin-like domains (residues 1-185) (P.A.S. et al, unpublished data, 2002). Second, when sequencing exons 3 and 4 of the GPVI gene in 188 chromosomes, we did not observe any replacement mutations except a single rare one at position 83. However, none of the 15 donors carried the rare form of this Leu83Val mutation (N.A.W. et al, unpublished data, 2002). We also determined the overall GPVI content by Western blot with a rabbit polyclonal GPVI antiserum (Figure 2A). These results were in agreement with those of the flow cytometry experiments and showed a significant lower GPVI content in \"bb\" platelets when compared with \"aa\" ones (Figure 2C). It also shows that the reduced GPVI membrane expression in \"bb\" homozygous platelets is not caused by differences in the compartmentalization of GPVI.\nOthers have used the lectinlike snake venom convulxin (CVX) to probe blots to estimate total platelet GPVI content.30 They concluded that 23 individuals showed a 5-fold variation in GPVI content. Furihata et al30 found that total GPVI content was positively correlated with GPIaIIa membrane expression levels. We found a 3-fold variation in surface expression of GPVI and a split in the overall GPVI expression levels related to the GPVI alleles. We were unable to show a correlation of GPVI levels with GPIaIIa even when analyzing \"aa\" and \"bb\" samples separately (Figure 1D). Similarly, Chen et al31 showed a lower variation in GPVI surface expression levels and no correlation with GPIaIIa levels. There are possible reasons for these differences. First, we and Chen measured GPVI membrane and total expression with antibodies while Furihata et al used CVX. Interestingly, the antibody 6F1 against the I domain of the -integrin does partially inhibit the action of CVX, raising the possibility that CVX is not entirely specific for GPVI.32\nAggregation of \"aa\" and \"bb\" platelets showed a 3-fold difference in the response to CRP-XL (Figure 3). This was highly significant, as was the difference in expression of markers of platelet activation by whole blood flow cytometry. In the latter experiments, activation of platelets was achieved with minimal sample manipulation by adding CRP-XL to whole blood. The binding of fibrinogen and the extent of -granule release were significantly greater in platelets from subjects homozygous for \"aa\" compared with \"bb\" (Figure 4). This was also the case for expression of phosphatidylserine (as measured by annexin V binding), previously shown by us and others to be attributable to GPVI activation.33 Interestingly, at saturating levels of CRP-XL, bound fibrinogen and CD62P were increased throughout the whole platelet population; however, only a subset of platelets (10% to 20%) bound annexin V. This observation is consistent with other studies showing a clear dissociation between the -granule release and annexin V binding.34,35 We and others have shown that CRP-XL and CVX alone do not result in the expression of phosphatidylserine detected with annexin V when gel-filtered platelets are used in suspension.33,34 In the present study, we showed subpopulations with annexin V positivity of 10% to 35% and 8% to 15% for \"aa\" and \"bb\" platelets, respectively (Figure 4). The most likely explanation for this is that during the time course of the experiment performed in whole blood, enough thrombin is generated to lead to the formation of dual agonized or collagen and thrombin (COAT) platelets.34,35 This is also compatible with the different plateaus of annexin V binding in the 2 allotypes. The lag time for thrombin generation in CRP-XLtreated platelets was delayed, and thrombin levels were reduced in the \"bb\" platelets when compared with the \"aa\" ones.\nMeasurement of tyrosine phosphorylation revealed clear differences between the \"aa\" and \"bb\" types in the platelet signaling response to CRP-XL, the dose curve for \"bb\" platelets being shifted 4-fold to the right (Figure 7). Interestingly, transformation of these data revealed logarithmic dose response (not shown), suggesting first-order kinetics of the activation process. Further, the 2 lines do not converge, indicating that the \"bb\" platelets are not capable of expressing the full signaling response to CRP-XL. The time course of activation of the \"bb\" platelets lacked the early wave of tyrosine phosphorylation seen in the \"aa\" platelets, attributed to a rapid activation of a subset of tyrosine kinases,36 possibly of the Src family.37 This might imply that specific activatory processes are lacking in the \"bb\" platelets.\nVarious mechanisms may account for the observed differences in response to CRP-XL. It is possible that the differences are due solely to variation in GPVI expression. However, structural changes can be expected to contribute to altered signaling. These may be made to the main polypeptide chain by Ser199Pro, by alteration of potential O-glycosylation sites at Ser199Pro and Thr229Ala, or by a charge reversal at Lys217Glu. From the Western blot, it may be concluded that the \"b\" form of GPVI has a reduced level of glycosylation. However, further study will be required to prove this. These changes could conceivably affect clustering of GPVI, which has been postulated to be important for ligand binding and signaling.38 Also, in the cytoplasmic domain, 1 of the 2 mutations flanks the class I polyproline motif (RPLPPLPPLP(Gln297Leu)T), which is a target for the SH3 domain of the Src family kinases.39 Recruitment of those proteins found to dock in this region10 may therefore be altered by this polymorphism. To what extent any of these proposed mechanisms contribute to the observed functional differences remains unanswered by this study. Experiments using the hybrid GPVI alleles uncovered in our high-resolution SNP detection study (N.A.W. et al, unpublished data, 2002) are currently being used to address these questions directly in human platelets.\nDifferences between \"aa\" and \"bb\" platelets were also observed in adhesion to type I collagen and subsequent activation in the PFA-100, and to type III collagen in a flow perfusion assay, although statistical significance was not reached (Figures 8, 9). This may reflect the relatively small cohort size in comparison with the inherent variability in these assays. The interaction of collagen with platelets involves several receptors and pathways other than GPVI, and each of these may compensate for reduced GPVI signaling. For instance, GPIaIIa is important in stirred platelet aggregation, as evidenced with GPIaIIa-deficient platelets and blocking antibodies.40 The GPIbIXV-VWF axis is known to be important for initial tethering of platelets to a collagen surface and subsequent thrombus formation.41 As platelet adhesion at high shear as well as recruitment of collagen to the cellular surface in stirred aggregation are known roles for GPIaIIa, there are other receptors, such as GPIV, with less well-defined roles in these processes.38 Interestingly, the 2 \"bb\" samples producing the highest level of surface coverage on collagen by flow perfusion were from donors with high VWF levels and high expression level of GPIaIIa. This is suggestive of molecular interplay between GPIaIIa and GPVI, which may need to be defined for each of the collagen types, since they may express different levels of receptor recognition motifs. We recently showed that VWF concentration is an independent factor in formation of thrombi when flowing blood is at high shear rate.21 In that study, we also confirmed the effect of GPIaIIa expression level on surface coverage. However, the number of samples that split on the GPIa SNP in this current study was too small to observe an effect of the GPIa alleles independent of the GPVI ones.\nOn the basis of the results in this study, we postulate that GPVI \"bb\" patients may be more prone to bleeding when their hemostatic system is challenged. Croft et al13 showed the GPVI \"b\" allele (defined in their study by one SNP, which encodes Ser199Pro) to be an independent risk factor for myocardial infarction in a subgroup of female patients who were older than 60 years of age and without a history of smoking. The relationship between this observation and our functional studies remains unclear. There remains the possibility that their observation was made by chance, as the power of the study is relatively limited.42\nPrepublished online as Blood First Edition Paper, January 30, 2003; DOI 10.1182/blood-2002-08-2591.\nSupported by the British Heart Foundation (P.A.S., R.W.F.); Medical Research Council (R.W.F.); National Blood Service R&D (L.J.-K.); Paavo Nurmi Foundation; and Finnish Association of Haematology.\nThe publication costs of this article were defrayed in part by page charge payment.

{"text": "SINGLE HIT CAR TAX MOOTED\nAnalysis of that headline-grabbing '£23K emissions tax'; guess what, there's more to it than that\nThe answer to the question above would depend on whether you buy new or used of course.\nThe closely argued 93-page report from government adviser Tim Leunig at CentreForum spells out exactly how it would work. Unsurprisingly it all comes down to CO2. If they embraced it, the government would figure out the average emissions of all cars sold new the previous year then charge a £50 purchase tax for every single gram per km the car emitted above a set amount.\nSo the Audi RS4 costs £54,925 now, but because it emits 249g/km of CO2 that would add an extra £7,750. The flipside is that over the course of a 15-year life and assuming VED rates don't move (which they would), the various owners would pay a total of £7,715 including the current first year hit.\nIt might even seem fair that guy paying the most shoulders the tax hit, and make the car more affordable to run for subsequent owners. The report argues that because of this, secondhand cars would be worth more, so handing more money back to the original buyer. The idea is that not only will the Government stop losing revenue, but that we're more likely to buy low-emission cars.\nThe price gap between a cheaper boggo 1.6 petrol Ford Focus and a 1.0-litre Ecoboost version is lowered, meaning more people will buy the (on paper at least) more efficient Ecoboost car. Presumably sales of performance cars would also be hit.\nIn the 2012 budget, the government said it would review the whole VED system. Now's your chance to let them know whether to embrace this suggestion, or dump it faster than a dead rat.\nPHers are already discussing this topic here."}

Our resolutions are put on the back shelve, and we are in the same position month after month, year after year.\nYou have all heard the saying “keep doing what you’re doing and keep getting what you are getting”.\nThis is such a true statement – how many people do you know who are stuck in the same rut – unhappy – spinning their wheels and still doing the same thing over and over.\nIt is not easy to reach your goals – if it were everyone would be successful. It takes determination, a specific plan, and doing what it takes every day. If you want a change you are going to need to change.\nYou need to set specific goals – the more specific the better. Goal setting is a powerful process when done right. By knowing precisely what you want to achieve and breaking it down into bit size chunks your ideal future will become a reality.\nI am a firm believer that nothing is impossible – if you change your thoughts, beliefs and how you talk to yourself, you will be amazed at how different life will become. When you truly believe you can achieve that goal and take these specific steps – you will achieve what you really want in this life.\nGoal setting made easy…\nFirst you need to look at the big picture – what is truly important in your life – where do you see yourself in 5 years. By really thinking about this and writing it down on paper you will be able to create a plan that will take you where you want to go.\n- Be very specific the more detail the better.\nThen you need to break it down – into smaller and smaller targets. Create a one year plan, six month plan, and one month plan of progressively smaller goals.\n- What are the things you can do today and tomorrow that will lead you in that direction?\nWhat actions do you need to take to make this a reality? Each of these steps should be based on the previous plan.\n- When you have broken it down – you need to make a daily “To Do List” of things you will do to make your vision a reality.\nYou may be saying to yourself – whew to much work for me or when will I have the time? This is your life and you can make anything happen unless you make excuses. You have the time if you will make it a priority.\n- Envision your goals, see yourself where you want to be – what will your life be like – how will you feel.\nIt is not easy – but it is simple when you follow your master plan. Don’t let your head get in the way – negative thoughts are your worst enemy. Don’t share you goals with people who will not support you in your dream. When you share your vision with people who are negative or don’t believe it can be done, you are opening yourself up for self-defeating thoughts.\n- Write down what you say to yourself – and change the negative into a positive.\nEveryone will have times when they run into obstacles, it is what you do with them that counts. This is the time when tenacity and belief in you will make a difference.\nPut together a vision board you can hang up – this may seem silly but it will really help cement your vision. When you start getting discouraged look at it and remember you can do what ever you are determined to do with a strong vision and a good plan you can become unstoppable\nI have a secret weapon it is like Rocket Fuel for Success.

{"text": "CHARL.\nThe MSHSAA (Missouri State High School Activities Association), the governing body of high school sports, uses a 13-point tiebreaker system to determine district champions in the event of a three-way tie.\nCurrently, on the strength of two wins by more than 13 points, the Tigers sit at +26. The Bluejays, with a 20-0 win over East Prairie and a four-point loss to Malden, are at +9. Therefore, a Caruthersville loss by nine points or more would leave the Tigers at +17, while a Bluejay win of at least nine points would total +18, enough for the district title.\nOf course, all those probabilities are moot should the Tigers defeat the Bluejays by any margin.\nMalden (1-1) and East Prairie (0-2), the other two District 1 competitors, are mathematically eliminated, although Malden can play the spoiler role of sorts by defeating East Prairie to stage a three-way tie and enforcing the aforementioned point system.\nShould Malden lose to East Prairie, Charleston can win the district with a victory against Caruthersville by any amount of points as the tiebreaker then goes to head-to-head competition.\nThrow out a 50-14 rout by Dexter and Charleston's defense has been solid, allowing 11.7 points per game. But the offense has been less than prolific at a 16.1 points-per-game clip.\nTo have any chance, the Bluejays must contain Caruthersville's all-state running back Kendrickus Reed, who leads the area with 1,898 rushing yards with 23 touchdowns.\nHowever, Reed is not the only threat the Tigers possess. Slotback Tristan Starks and wideout Rashad Fields are dangerous from any spot on the field. Starks has rushed for 564 yards with four TDs and Fields has 221 rushing yards and two TDs and leads the Tiger receivers with 14 catches for 182 yards and one TD.\nQuarterback Jake VanAusdall, a first-year starter, has proven himself to be a capable passer at times, hitting 32-of-78 passes for 333 yards and two TDs.\nThe Bluejays will rely on senior quarterback Justin Clark (47-of-104 for 586 passing yards with five TDs and two rushing TDs) and power back Jerquawn Sherrell, who has rushed for more than 600 yards with five TDs, to provide the impetus on offense.\nHobbled three-time 1,000-yard rusher Joseph Watts is still a factor. Bothered by a knee injury that will require surgery after the season, Watts has been unable to make the dime cuts he's so well known for, but has shown the heart of a champion just to play and contribute with about 300 rushing yards.\nCharleston stats do not include last week's totals.\nThe final outcome may well depend on the Bluejay defense, which must be at the top of its game.\nThe defense is led by a stout defensive line anchored by 320-pound senior nose guard Brandon Gillespie, senior defensive tackle Brian Cassell, senior defensive end Markale Kent and junior defensive tackle James Davenport, along with active linebackers Billy Butler, Garrison Eastman and Sherrell.\nMaybe not a deciding factor, but neither team will have a pure homefield advantage.\nThe Tigers have played their home games on Hayti's field all season, following the destruction of their stadium earlier this year by a tornado.\nGame time is Thursday at 7 p.m."}

{"text": "One of the world’s largest market-research sources recently announced the availability of the Global Forging Market 2016-2020 report. The four-year research study forecasts how the global forging market will perform exhibiting a healthy, 8% consolidated annual growth rate (CAGR) up until 2020.\nAnnually, forging suppliers are developing new die material interfaces and improving modeling software, and forging operations are applying an increasing number of new die designs. Additionally, the forging manufacturers are adopting controls and sensors to track the forging process to compensate and automatically sense for any changes in the process.\nBased on the report by PR Newswire, the aerospace and aviation industry is one of the top end-users in the forging market, as forged components are featured heavily to create commercial and defense aircrafts. In the coming years, there will be an increase in the demand for materials with high-level strength-to-weight ratios. Most of the forged components used by the industry now are for bulkheads, wheels, beams, brake carriers, and hinges.\nThe new report also highlights the leading forging suppliers, including: Alcoa, ATI, Bharat Forge, Nippon Steel and Sumitomo Metal, and ThyssenKrupp. Other prominent forging producers, such as Mahindra Forging, Aichi Steel, and KITZ, also will be seen actively making changes to revolutionize the industry.\nAlthough not as highly affected as other industrial sectors, the forging market has seen changes as a result of the instability regarding the price of oil and gas. Despite the oversupply in many OPEC nations, rehabilitation of gas treatment plants and power plants still are very much continuing, especially in the Middle East. Experts predict that the global crude prices will improve by mid-year.\nThe economic effect of the oil and gas prices in that case will continue to influence the automotive industry, which is the largest consumer market for forged parts. Thus, the sales of forged parts saw a decrease last year, forcing forging manufacturers to reduce their stakes in the automotive market.\nThe study is still ongoing and will cover plenty of relevant topics, such as:\n• Market drivers\n• Impact of drivers\n• Market challenges\n• Impact of drivers and challenges\n• Market trends\n• Vendor landscape\n• Key vendor analysis\nThe \"Global Forging Market 2016-2020\" report is available for purchase at, an online retailer of economic studies and forecasts."}

Though slacklining began in the 1970s, it is only in the past ~8 years that the sport has seen near exponential growth. A recent slackliner demographics survey received more than 1400 responses in two days and represents only a fraction of the community. Slackliners are often also yoga practitioners, climbers, skydivers, mountain bicyclists, etc. Our cross community nature makes us natural ambassadors. And, our photos are striking.\nWhat are our current initiatives?\nConservation and Access Management – Promoting a minimal impact slackline culture, minimizing the use of bolts, replacing poor quality bolts, and organizing cleanup events. Speaking on behalf of the slackline community and interacting with the Access Fund, BLM, National Parks Services, etc. to help develop and maintain access for slacklining in public lands. Gathering reports of access issues and assisting wherever possible.\nAt-risk-youth outreach – Slackline U.S. is currently organizing a new outreach initiative to bring slacklining to at-risk youth through cooperation with local organizations. For many slackliners, learning to slackline provided an escape from a drug culture or otherwise self-destructive lifestyle. We wish to help these people share that experience and promote slacklining as an alternative pastime for at-risk youth.\nGrants for members for exceptional projects – We want to encourage social slacklining and exploration. To do this, we’re offering grants to our members to fund unique expeditions and social impact projects.\nPublications – Scaling up the printing and distribution of slackline safety materials, safe practices guidelines, fliers advocating tree protection and conservation. Funding studies on tree health and slacklining, gathering accident and injury reports, publishing data.\nGeneral Management – Building up the infrastructure of the organization as we grow. Slackline U.S. is currently an entirely volunteer operation with a core network of 10 people and dozens more volunteers on a per project basis. Funding for part time staff, publication costs, and outreach budgets would greatly increase our reach and productivity.\nFor more information, contact us at info@slackline.us.\n"}
{"text": "ENTP Personality Type- Extraverted Intuition with Introverted Thinking\nThe ENTP personality type (as outlined by the Myers-Briggs Type Indicator® Test, or MBTI® Test) is the Extraverted Intuition with Introverted Thinking type. Individuals with the Myers-Briggs® test ENTP Type are animated, ingenious, visionary, and inspired. They are versed raconteurs, enjoying the rush that comes from constructive discussions. The ENTP Type has talents and passion for what interests them, as well as their love of life, makes them enjoyable coworkers and employees:\n- Always looking around for new potentialities and prospects to further ambitions and goals\n- Well-learned at recognizing hidden or simply less-obvious associations and arrangements, either in data or in relationships\n- Often so in-tune with what is going on in the world around them that they seem to have predictive talents\n- Proficient at dreaming up ideas and attacking them critically for a successful outcome\n- Have a knack for seeing and understanding the inner workings of people and businesses, and use this knowledge to achieve their (or their company’s) aspirations\n- The zeal and vivacity of the ENTP Personality Type makes people want to help them in achieving their goals.\n- Solve issues with wide-stretching resolutions\nThe Thrill-Seeking Ways of the ENTP Type\nAn MBTI Test -assessed ENTP individual searches for new potentialities, passions, and trials around every corner. They use trying situations to excite their interest, and then tackle these situations head-on with the knowledge that they can innovatively problem solve and react to actions quickly. Myers-Briggs test ENTP Types are speculative, inquisitive, and competent. Their eagerness to try new things makes them impromptu and flexible.\nMyers Briggs-assessed ENTP individuals are wonderful with words and are known for being witty and verbally dexterous, and they thoroughly enjoy commanding arguments and having discussions about what they believe. They benefit from a lack of organized rules and deadlines, and find ways to avoid the restraints associated with them.\nENTP and Personal Relationships\nIn regards to their relationships with others, those who exhibit the ENTP Personality Type surround themselves with those with similar levels of capability, aptitude, attention and expertise, both in the business world and in their personal lives. MBTI test-assessed ENTP Types are very intuitive and conscious about how others are feeling, what they will do, and how they will react to certain situations. Those with the ENTP Type preference use their newfound knowledge of their peers in order to excite them about various aspects of life.\nAn Internal Battle with Eagerness\nOn occasion, an individual with an Myers-Briggs Test -assessed ENTP Type can have their eagerness overwhelm themselves, and they can fail to accomplish a project before getting excited about and getting started on another project, which can lead some goals to fall through the cracks. This personality type may therefore only put in a certain amount of effort on some projects when something more exciting is on the horizon.\nSimilarly, an ENTP Personality Types desire for spontaneity and excitement may lead them to not base their decisions enough on present actualities or tangible ideas, choosing instead to listen to their own advice on the matter instead of allowing other information or advice to come into play. This can lead to hasty ideas that end up disappointing the MBTI test-assessed ENTP individual, because they cannot be attained.\nAnother problem that some individuals with the ENTP Type run in to is that others may find them too argumentative, even when no need for an argument exists. When this happens, others tend to feel as though ENTP Type Individuals are brazen, presumptuous, brusque, and deprecating. Coupled with this is the fact that those with the ENTP Type are often unaware of the consequences of their actions, and how these affect themselves and others. However, by being aware of these actions and working towards completing projects one at a time, the ENTP Types communication and completion skills will prove them to be exceptional workers.[Personality Type information was referenced from the following publication- (Isabel Briggs Myers, 1998, CPP Inc.)]\nIdeal Careers for ENTP Types\nAn MBTI ENTP Personality Types imagination and Socratic skills can make them successful in a wide range of careers. Often, those with the ENTP Type preference find that they work well in occupations involving using objects or things to create something tangible. These occupations could include architect, drafter, or art director. Another overwhelming trend seen by Myers-Briggs test-assessed ENTP Types is that they enjoy working with others, especially in positions of leadership or where they get to devise new projects and opportunities for the company. These titles often include the term “executive”, and can take place across a variety of fields—arts, sports, media, education, transportation, and sales. Those that exhibit the ENTP Type tend to have skills with people which can make them great industrial/organizational psychologists, while their affinity for looking towards the future helps them in roles such as cost estimator (Allen L. Hammer, 1993, CPP Inc.).\nTo be the best ENTP that they can, people with this personality type need to develop skills that will help them control their eagerness and excitement, so that they may complete all tasks equally and thoroughly. An individual with the ENTP Type could help themselves in this regard by creating long-term goals with clear direction, and by making these goals definite yet flexible. Furthermore, establishing precedence will help you not get engulfed in a sea of prospects.\nAlthough the people skills and talkative nature of the ENTP Type makes them a fun coworker, occasionally they may spend too much time looking for a conversation when they should be working. That being said, the best thing for an MBTI test-assessed ENTP Type to do is to make sure that all conversations are leading towards a goal while in the workplace, and try not to talk too much overall.\nWhen an Myers-Briggs tested ENTP Type has their focus match their drive and passion in a workplace, there’s little that can stop them from achieving their goals. To maximize this focus and stop yourself from getting distracted by other exciting endeavors, MBTI test-assessed ENTP Types should set personal and professional deadlines to make sure that they are not putting off projects or decisions. With these skills in mind, and their thirst for life at their fingertips, the ENTP Type can become everyone’s favorite office companion.\nClick on one of these corresponding popular ENTP Careers for detailed information including Career Stats, Income Stats, Daily Tasks and Required Education: Advertising Sales Agent, Economist, Financial Analyst, Food Scientist & Technologist, General & Operational Manager, Human Resources Manager, Industrial Health & Safety Engineering, Insurance Adjuster, Examiner, or Investigator, Insurance Sales Agent, and Landscape Architect.\nFurther Understanding ENTPs\nENTPs are highly aware individuals, who are also sensitive to patterns and connections in information and in their environments. They are quick to take advantage of opportunities when they are presented to them, and are highly resourceful in maneuvering even the most complex situations to achieve their goals. ENTPs are also highly innovative, easily mastering theoretical concepts or concerns and applying them in inventive, creative ways in unfamiliar situations. That said, they are also pragmatic and logical, keeping their ideas relatively realistic and functional in the real world. Others generally see them as lively and energetic, if perhaps somewhat disorganized – they often find it difficult to work within deadlines or hierarchies, which they find restrictive or even stifling. However, despite this apparent disorganization, many ENTPs are highly accomplished, and often end up in leadership positions within their organizations.\nThat said, ENTPs must be careful to develop all aspects of their personality – without their pragmatism, they may spend too much time jumping among different interests without actually implementing any of their considerable ideas. For this reason, they should also make an effort to develop their focus, as otherwise they risk becoming scattered, having too many interests and too little direction. Nonetheless, with a little effort and direction, ENTPs can become valuable contributors to any team or organization.\nENTPs’ Learning Style: Innovative and Active\nENTPs learn by exploring the world around them and considering how new concepts can be applied in different ways. Everywhere they go, they see possibilities, and they live their lives enthusiastically, focusing on the future and on becoming instruments of change. They extrapolate from what they see and observe, integrating information from multiple different sources and connecting ideas among which others may see little relation. This same flexibility also benefits them in the classroom, where they prefer to learn through open-ended discussions and a loosely-structured learning environment. They enjoy group work and active tasks, in which they are able to hear and consider new perspectives. This level of interaction also helps them combat their inherent restlessness, giving them opportunities to engage with others around them.\nLearn about The Myers-Briggs® ENTP’s Learning Style, Leadership, emotional outlook tendencies and more.\nIn general, Myers-Briggs® ENTPs are engaged by theories and models, and they prefer conceptual frameworks to strict or narrow loci of application. Instead, they enjoy exploring possible applications for themselves, hammering out the details when it becomes necessary to do so. As such, they value professors or instructors who emphasize exploratory learning activities, including brainstorming and open-ended discussions. They dislike having to focus on a rigid agenda, and may find it difficult to learn when forced to engage in a lecture-like lesson structure. When it comes to receiving feedback, they benefit most from having the gaps in their models or theories pointed out, though they may interpret discontinuities between their models and the real world as being overly simplistic or as having a lack of vision.\nWhen it comes to interacting with other learners, ENTPs often tend to enjoy asking questions and discussing ideas which may or may not be directly related to the topic at hand. This level of flexibility and free association can be frustrating for more focused, practical personality types, but it is nonetheless necessary for ENTPs for them to learn successfully. The more connections they can make, even if they are not directly relevant, the better and longer-lasting their learning process will be. If their learning environment does not provide opportunities for such exploration, ENTPs may seek study groups or similar opportunities outside the classroom.\nENTPs’ Leadership Style: Innovative and Visionary\nENTPs are visionaries—they almost always have a broad, holistic view of what they want to accomplish. They generally have a positive outlook, and tend to see problems or challenges as opportunities, inspiring others and creating momentum, moving towards their goals. All the while, they keep their endpoint in mind, using it as a source of motivation. However, they should be conscious of focusing too much on the future and not enough on the present – it is important to remain realistic about the investment necessary to achieve those goals and to consider the daily logistics of making progress. Otherwise, they risk stagnating, coming up with impressive ideas and long-term visions, but having little actual, material progress. While ENTPs love to brainstorm and explore possibilities, and then narrow their possibilities slowly, since this process can be enjoyable for them and may reveal options that would otherwise have been left unconsidered, they must keep in mind that it can also leave others feeling lost or alienated by the number of options and the effort of sifting through them.\nWhile ENTP Personality Types possess a considerable energy and admirable enthusiasm for encouraging others to meet any challenge, they should be conscious of squandering that motivation too early towards the start of a project. Otherwise, individuals, especially those who are more detail-oriented, may experience burnout. The intellectual playground that ENTPs find so engaging and stimulating may not be so for everyone. As such, they should make an effort to encourage and value the participation of others, even if it means that they should focus more on present rather than future initiatives or that they should ground themselves and consider the logistics of implementation.\nENTPs crave mobility and variety in their work. They are constantly looking for different ways to complete a given task, and they make a concerted effort to improve current techniques to streamline their efforts as much as possible. For this reason, they also encourage others to work as independently as possible, allowing them to fail and learn from their mistakes, but still giving them the opportunity to develop their own strategies and techniques. More pragmatic, detail-oriented personality types may find ENTPs’ lack of explicit instruction to be uncomfortably vague or even lacking direction, even though the reality, more often than not, is ENTPs trying to present others with the same flexibility that they value themselves. Nonetheless, ENTPs should make an effort to identify and understand the personality types of their employees in order to give them the support they need to excel.\nENTPs and Emotional Outlook: Spontaneous and Enterprising\nENTPs tend to be highly confident of their analytical ability and innovative problem-solving skills. They are competitive and creative individuals, who tend to have fairly spontaneous reactions to changing or dynamic situations. Because they absorb information and circumstances so easily, their ability to adapt is considerable. While they are less sensitive to emotional changes in themselves or others, they are extremely aware of changing risks in their environment, and make an effort to constantly improve their actions, reducing risk and increasing their chances of success. That said, as they continue to develop their emotional awareness, they should make an effort to become more sensitive to changing moods, since they can often indicate deeper problems that need to be resolved.\nLearn about The MBTI® ENTP’s Emotional Intelligence tendencies and Emotional Outlook, including tips and strategies on how to succeed.\nBecause ENTPs are so spontaneous themselves, they tend to have difficulty associating with others who may be more rigid or traditional, who do not adapt to changing circumstances as easily as they do, or who may not be as quick or resourceful in their adaptations. In order to make more structured individuals feel included, ENTPs should make an effort to explain their ideas more concretely, and solicit additional ideas for implementation, especially if this implementation hinges on the actions of a particular other individual. ENTPs excel in pushing limits, and use this dynamism as motivation. They enjoy being in control and taking initiative, and they bounce back quickly from challenges and setbacks. However, they should keep in mind that others may simply find these challenges stressful, and should make an effort to dissipate that stress however possible in the workplace.\nIn addition, ENTPs make an effort to solicit others’ points of view, encouraging them to articulate their positions and seeking to foster a constructive, egalitarian dialogue. They also demonstrate a great degree of patience and empathy for others’ beliefs and values, though when tensions and emotions run high they may have a tendency to respond competitively rather than cooperatively. At the end of the day, ENTPs like to win and they achieve a great sense of accomplishment from doing so. As such, especially those who are in leadership positions should make an effort to put the good of the team before themselves, and instead demonstrate greater empathy for others. This kind of self-regulation will make them even stronger and more influential in any leadership position in which they may find themselves.\nAs they continue to improve and grow, ENTPs may wish to make an effort to focus more of their time on factual, concrete information rather than lofty ideals, and develop a more realistic strategy for assessing their personal resources, as well as the material and personnel resources of their company. By managing resources more efficiently, they may be able to increase their efficiency and their output. Furthermore, they should make an effort to focus more on collaboration and self-regulate their competitiveness. While competition can be a great motivator in some ways, it also has the potential to destroy the collaborative spirit that makes many teams excel.\nLearn More About the MBTI ENTP Personality Type\nExplore additional information that delves deeper into the ENTP Personality Type by examining various personality and career based subjects:\n- How the MBTI ENTP Type relates to Innovation\n- How the MBTI ENTP Type relates to Project Management\n- How the MBTI ENTP Type relates to Emotional Intelligence\n- How the MBTI ENTP Type relates to Leadership\n- How the MBTI ENT)"}

{"text": "New Study Confirms Post-Abortive Women Have Increased Risk of Mental Health Disorders\nA new study published in July of 2016 confirms that abortion is consistently associated with increased risk of mental health disorders and substance abuse in late adolescence and early adulthood. Dr. D. Paul Sullins of the Catholic University of America released the results of an analysis conducted on data collected from 8,005 women in the United States who were followed over the course of thirteen years. The article was published in Sage Open Medicine, a peer-reviewed open-access journal, and can be accessed for free here:\nAbortion activists have repeatedly denounced attempts to link abortion with any adverse events. In medical schools across the country, students are taught that there are no long-term consequences of abortion, and that abortion is a safe procedure. However, these statements are misleading at best. One of the major problems with abortion statistics in the United States is that each state sets its own reporting laws, which means that some states, like California for instance, don’t require any public reporting of abortion statistics. So for starters, we don’t know what we don’t know. Additionally, of the states that do report abortion statistics to the CDC, not all of those states report the same amount of information. Furthermore, the private pro-abortion Guttmacher Institute has consistently reported much higher (as much as 30% higher) abortion rates than those listed in the CDC reports, which calls into question the reliability of state reporting. Another major issue is that only 16 states require reporting information on abortion complications, and only 8 of these states actually publish abortion complications in their public abortion reports. Only 4 states inquire about maternal mortality post-abortion, and only one state inquires about any follow-up care provided to post-abortive mothers.\nIf your head is spinning with these numbers, that’s understandable, because the conclusion is that it’s shockingly difficult to get any straight answers on nationwide abortion statistics. Why are we being taught that there are no long-term consequences of abortion if we don’t have reliable reporting systems with which to track this information?\nHere’s what you need to know about the Sullins study:\n- The Sullins study followed 8,005 women and tracked them across three average age time points: age 15, age 22, and age 28. All 8,005 of these women were examined at all three time points (the initial study had about a 20% dropout rate, but Sullins only included the women who completed all of the evaluations).\n- These data were from the National Longitudinal Study of Adolescent to Adult Health (ADD Health), which was funded by 18 federal agencies and was initiated in 1994 with the intent of being “the largest and most extensive study of the health-related behaviors of U.S. adolescents during the transition to adulthood.”\n- Extensive adjustments for possible confounding variables were made, including adjustments for age, race, region of origin, childhood family conditions, socioeconomic status, educational status of participant and of participant’s parents, history of abuse, and preexisting mental health conditions.\n-.\n- Table 5 from the Sullins study is shown below and lists the relative risks associated by category:\nAbortion, Substance Abuse and Mental Health in Early Adulthood: Thirteen-Year Longitudinal Evidence from the United States.

For sysadmins, this makes it easier to correct and harden server configuration.\nTo work, testssl.sh uses configuration files and regular expression to parse results and list all assets that are affected by a finding.\ntestssl.sh is Great. Why Do We Need IDontSpeakSSL?\nYeah, yeah, testssl.sh is a great tool that serves a very necessary purpose. But the truth is that the tool can be slow, and it is often difficult to use on projects with larger scopes. This ultimately doesn’t make the tool very efficient or ideal for larger projects.\nIDontSpeakSSL, on the other hand, allows a user to gather information on every asset impacted by a particular vulnerability. It speeds up the scan by running multiple instances of testssl.sh scans in parallel (in fact, the default setting sits at eight). It also relies on a queue system to keep track of all remaining hosts and to run a new scan as soon as another is finished.\nSo What Problem Does IDontSpeakSSL Solve?\nIDontSpeakSSL makes a good thing even better. This tool enables auditors or sysadmins to earn back some precious time and obtain a clear output of bad SSL/TLS configuration and certificate errors.\nLook below for some screenshots showing the tool in action.\nFigure 1 – Showing how an IDontSpeakSSL scan works.\nFigure 2 – An example of the report produced by IDontSpeakSSL\nSounds Good. Where Do I Find IDontSpeakSSL?\nYou can download the tool for use at the Bishop Fox Github. Feel free to tell us any problems you run into or any feedback on the user experience by contacting us on Twitter – (@BishopFox).\nFlorian Nivette (CEH, CHFI, CEI, GSNA) is a Security Associate at Bishop Fox, where he focuses on application and network penetration testing as well as in-depth OS-level security."}

Let the readers engage with the content, and it will make them feel that your site is a credible source.\n2. Understanding the what people are looking for\nThe content is a given because it needs to have sense and not just written for the sake that you have some information posted on the website. People also look for other things. The site performance is another thing that people consider. Is the site slow as a turtle? Do the tabs work? If nothing seems to be working or the site is too slow, people won’t spend time waiting for it to work.\n3. Avoid the things that readers don’t want\nThere are instances that keywords are overused in a website. People don’t want to see repetitive things. You should watch out for that. The website needs to be working 100%. Getting a bad feedback from your readers about the performance of your site is bad news.\n4. Know Your Target\nYou should not just focus on getting noticed.

{"text": "The Future Shore: Stretching the Horizon of Hope\nWe live in a world that encourages us to spend very little time in the present moment. We are usually focusing on the next thing - and so we often miss what is in front of our eyes, blazingly obvious and simple.\nLaurence Freeman will explore the future in the light of the further shore of human existence - our destiny which is always present. During his talks in Canada this Fall he will approach these pressing questions of spiritual knowledge and hope from different perspectives. He will be describing how we need a new, a recharged spiritual consciousness to solve our manmade problems and how we need to see hope as a way of embracing the present not avoiding it.\nFor this there is no simpler and more immediate aid than meditation. What does the Christian tradition of meditation, then, have to offer us as both a way of daily spirituality and global peace?\nSr. Mary Robertson - Email: mrobertson@fcjsisters.ca\nTime Frame:\n7 pm - 9pm"}
