Absolutely right this is what we are fighting for in our individual capacity. Same to you bro i always fight for Army on social media, But then you would soon see that people is blaming to Pak Army for interfering in politics. for me if not the whole establishment but some one from top is really cooking something behin... |
We will never forgive if anyone ever try to give some breathing rooms to the corrupts. |
According to some people on sm, a deal is in process and silence of NS and Maryum is due to a mutual agreement between PMLN and a powerful institution. NS had agreed to pay $5 billion and his bail along Maryum was granted by Islamabad High Court but later, his sons asked not to pay a single penny more than $2 billion a... |
And then the narrative changed all of a sudden from accountability of corrupt politicians to PAC chairmanship, and I think a deal is given with NS in hospital, SS as Chairman PAC and Hamza Shahbaz in London to get the looted money back(may be not). |
Sooner or later, a bail will be granted to NS on medical grounds and he will be in London to spend his rest of life without getting involved in Pakistani politics. |
If army decides to supports corrupt or sign NRO, Imran should come on TV, resigning immediately and tell people who supported whom and what happened. |
But PMIK is in charge. It is up to him, and not the Army, to offer or approve an NRO. The elected PM is above the COAS by virtue of the Constitution. He should keep that in mind, unless he is just another puppet who must acquiesce to what the Army decides. |
I've been saying since day one there will be no NRO because IK said so.... our garbage media and khota khors like @Tameem and @Champion_Usmani keep bringing it up. |
PM Imran Khan message to corrupt Media. |
PM Imran Khan, A messiah has arrived!! |
Turkey has warned Israel that it faces growing isolation in the region, as Turkish Prime Minister Recep Erdogan heads for Egypt. Both countries have experienced a rapid change of attitude towards Israel recently. |
The Turkish leader is to meet Egypt’s top brass and the head of the Arab League there. They will discuss the regional tension and the situation in Palestine. |
Turkey cut all military and trade ties with the Jewish state after it refused to apologize for killing nine Turks in a raid on an aid flotilla last year. |
Amidst the conflict, Ankara increased its Navy presence in the Mediterranean and has vowed to convoy future humanitarian fleets going to Gaza. |
Turkey also said it will sue Israel in the International Court in The Hague over its blockade of Gaza. |
Tel Aviv may offer its support to Kurd and Armenian minorities in Turkey, if the conflict gets worse, Israeli media reported. |
The Jewish state has recently found relations with Cairo also strained, after rioters there ransacked the Israeli embassy. The ambassador was recalled to Tel Aviv after the incident. |
Anger swelled in Cairo after Israeli forces, responding to a cross-border militant attack, mistakenly killed five Egyptian police officers last month. |
Earlier Israeli Major General Eyal Eisenberg warned that a regional war may soon erupt in the Middle East and urged the Jewish State to be prepared for it. The statement was later rebuffed by Defense Minister Ehud Barak. |
“Under the [Israeli Prime Minister] Netanyahu government, the world and the Arab world do not believe Netanyahu is interested in peace and as a result we are seeing more tensions, more anger and more isolation of Israel,” author and editor Yigal Walt from Tel Aviv told RT. “It is not certain whether Palestinians [are]... |
And Yaakov Lappin, national security correspondent at the Jerusalem Post, expressed concern that Israel is now losing favor with Turkey after losing friends with Egypt. |
“It is a dangerous game and I hope that it does not pass the point of rhetoric. But certainly we are seeing a dramatic shift in relations with Turkey and it is a source of great concern, there is no denying it whatsoever,” he said. |
“Israel has little influence on what is happening at the moment. Of course, good relations are the aim, but one of the problems is, first of all, who our neighbors are. If we have signed a peace treaty with a government or a representation, and that government falls, we have to wait and see who is going to replace the ... |
Professor Vehbi Baysan of Yeditepe University believes that Israeli foreign policy has always stressed that the country is surrounded by enemies. But it will do a lot more if it adopts a more peaceful stance towards its neighbors. |
“So I think if Israel, first of all, or the Israeli government takes peaceful actions with their neighbors and tries to build and establish better relations, I am sure there would not be much problem. But it is not an easy step for both sides One day this will actualize and both sides should not take it or stretch it o... |
A study by the Translational Genomics Research Institute (TGen) and Van Andel Research Institute (VARI) has stressed that combination drug therapy may be needed to combat non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). |
The study, "STAT3 is Activated by JAK2 Independent of Key Oncogenic Driver Mutation in Non-Small Cell Lung Carcinoma," was published online today, Feb. 2, 2012, by the Public Library of Science (PLoS) ONE. |
The study found that in NSCLC — the most common form of lung cancer — that the STAT3 gene is activated in some NSCLC cell lines by the JAK2 protein. This signaling can play a crucial role in tumor-cell behavior that may not be effectively inhibited by drugs that selectively target these mutations, the study concluded. |
"This suggests that there may be a potential role for combination therapy, so you have a better chance of knocking out select NSCLC tumors driven by STAT3-JAK2, or keeping it at bay," said Dr. Glen Weiss, Co-Unit Head of TGen's Lung Cancer Research Laboratory and Director of Thoracic Oncology at Virginia G. Piper Cance... |
The JAK2 protein can activate the gene called STAT3, part of a family of genes that provide instructions for making proteins that are part of the essential chemical signaling pathways that control growth and development in cells. STAT3 has been found to be overactive in cases of several types of cancer, including breas... |
In laboratory tests involving seven NSCLC cell lines, the TGen-VARI study found that STAT3 was activated in some cell lines by JAK2, independent of key oncogenic, or potentially cancer-causing, genes. |
"JAK2-STAT3 signaling plays crucial roles in tumor-cell behavior that may not be effectively inhibited by drugs that selectively target these mutations," said Dr. Jeff MacKeigan, Head of VARI's Laboratory of Systems Biology. VARI is TGen's affiliate in Grand Rapids, Mich. |
This study, funded by a TGen-VARI integration grant, should benefit future lung cancer research because of the study's clinically annotated tissue microarray, MacKeigan said. |

If you thought that electric cars were just teeny, tiny little things like the G-Whiz which look like they’d turn over if you blow on them, then think again. The latest crop of electric vehicles (and we’re not talking hybrids here) are proper cars that look – but don’t sound – like the real thing. |
Last month, we checked out the Volvo C30 which won’t go into production until 2013. This month it’s the turn of the Nissan Leaf which is going to be available, albeit in small numbers, from next spring. Like the Volvo C30, the Nissan Leaf looks like an ordinary gas guzzling car, and houses a huge Lithium Ion Battery un... |
It’s available in various user friendly colours (black, red, silver, grey) but we took out a metallic blue model from Nissan’s Bedfordshire HQ – a left-hand drive sample for Europe and currently the only one in the UK. As you might expect the price of the Leaf is quite steep at just under £24K (£23,990 to be precise), ... |
Until then demand will be met by Nissan’s Japanese factories. “We’re not expecting the Leaf to take over the road from day one,” explains Gabi Whitfield, Communications Director, Nissan GB. However, those wanting to pre-order a model for next Spring can do so from Nissan’s website here. Be warned though the website is ... |
Driving a car these days it seems is more like booting up a computer and so it is with The Leaf. Obviously there aren’t any gears to contend with, it’s just a case of flicking a switch and putting your foot on the gas – sorry electric – pedal. Nissan claims it can go 100 miles on a single charge but this will vary acco... |
There is an Eco Mode but this will reduce your speed in order to maximise distance between charges. Top speed is 90 miles per hour but on the mean streets of Milton Keynes (or thereabouts) I didn’t get close to that. Instead I reckon I got the car up to around 50/60 miles per hour, but I’m sure it can go faster. |
What’s very odd about electric cars generally I find is how quiet they are, like something out of a sci-fi movie. Nissan have got round this problem for hard of hearing folk and those who generally don’t look when they are crossing roads – people like me in other words – by actually introducing noise at lower speeds. |
Up to 30 miles per hour the Nissan Leaf emits a whistling turbine type noise. Faster than that the noise of the tyres going around is loud enough to alert you to the fact that a car is approaching. Apparently there isn’t yet a standard that manufacturers of electronic vehicles have to follow, but Nissan’s idea of intro... |
While driving the Nissan is a pleasant enough experience (its low centre of gravity perhaps makes it feel a little more sporty than it really is!) what’s really good about the vehicle is its in car entertainment system. |
I’ve had to make do with a CD changer for years now, so I’m easily impressed with a car that has MP3 input jacks, USB sockets and so on. But the Nissan Leaf doesn’t just stop there. It also boasts a large colour Satellite Navigation system complete with a map showing the nearest charging points – unfortunately there ar... |
And apparently the vehicle will even interface with your mobile phone, telling you if it needs charging before you take it out and allowing to put the heating on in the vehicle before you set off on a cold winter morning. |
So would I buy the Nissan Leaf? Well at £24K not a chance. I can see that some show offy types with loads of money might splash out on one – in the same way as Hollywood types have been photographed with their Toyota Pious, sorry Prius. But really when you can buy a top end 3 year old petrol car for half the price, it’... |
Even though you do make a saving on the congestion charge and on petrol, it’s still going to take some time to make your money back considering the massive premium – even if you travel into central London every day. |
Then again, once mass production starts in 2013, prices fall, and there are charging points all over the UK then it does become a serious proposition. Whether electric cars are that much better than petrol cars for the environment is of course a massive issue (because obviously the energy needed to power them still nee... |
in ALL weather conditions and I might consider one. |
just overall enjoy on those grounds is what gives the car character. |
Electric cars just lose that character. |
I think Nissan leaf is perfect car. Today’s fuel prices increase day by day. Now, most of automaker concentrates electric cars, because it’s have many advantage. Nissan leaf is electric, but it’s a new version of electric car. New technology implemented in Nissan leaf. Which satisfied consumer form this car. |
looks stylish and cozy!! but the author hasn’t mentioned its price. |
The seventh annual First Responders Recognition Day event is today, Sunday, Oct. 11 at West Palm Beach Fire Station 7, on Okeechobee Boulevard between State Road 7 and Jog Road at Benoist Farms Road, 1.8 miles east of State Road 7. |
The event startsat 11 a.m. Firefighters, police officers, paramedics and Florida Forestry firefighters will be recognized as first responders. |
Police and firefighting vehicles, as well as antique and collectible vehicles will be displayed. A presentation of recognition will be made followed by refreshments for all present, courtesy of the West Palm Beach Association of Firefighters. |
When you're single but old enough that most of your friends are settling down, furniture shopping is as emotionally fraught as retail can get. |
Last weekend I bought something from Room & Board for the first time. Room & Board, if you’re not familiar, is like a pricier, classier, and infinitely sturdier version of West Elm. It’s one of those places where grown-ups shop, and I’ve dreamed of owning something from there since my late twenties, when I first starte... |
On the continuum of furniture stores, Room & Board sits somewhere between West Elm (Ikea quality, priced for people who feel they've outgrown Ikea) and Design Within Reach (exactly whose reach I'm not quite sure). My first Room & Board purchase didn’t even come from one of its stores: It was a used R&B bed frame I got ... |
The frame is made of white powder-coated steel and has a few minor blemishes. It’s full-size because I don’t really have the room for a queen. Like every bed frame I’ve bought secondhand, it was on sale because its owner graduated to something bigger. But it still felt like a milestone. |
I lived alone, in a basement, albeit a pretty nice one. I wasn’t supposed to be buying things like this. |
During a particularly interior-decor-obsessed period of my 29th year, I made frequent pilgrimages to Room & Board’s store in Washington, DC, imagining a life in which I might own a 76” André sofa in ink blue ($1699). The other people in the store — almost always couples, it seemed — could have actually purchased it, pe... |
When you’re single, and have reached the age where a lot of your peers are not, furniture shopping is about as emotionally fraught as a retail experience can be. What size do you need? How long are you going to be in this place? Is this your real life yet — furniture-wise, and otherwise? |
Recently a friend and I were sitting at my dining table. It’s midrange as far as Ikea goes — a $200 solid wood four-top — not the cheapest stuff they sell, but not their nicest either. I bought it because I needed a table, not a table. It was a little small for my dinner party ambitions, I told him, and maybe I should ... |
“I guess I probably won’t get a new table until I’m married,” he said. |
He’s 35, and not engaged or anywhere close. I told him he could get a new table whenever he wanted. But I knew exactly what he meant. |
The better furniture stores are full of couples for a good reason. People buy nice things when they feel settled: You invest in a comfy new couch when you’ve found someone to stay in with on Saturday nights. You upgrade to a bigger, better mattress because you’re sharing it with a partner now, and you can justify the e... |
It can feel selfish, or foolish, or bittersweet, to invest in “setting up home” as a single person, especially if you don’t own your place. Even if you can afford it, nicer furniture — whatever feels spendy to you, whether that means a $500 sofa or a $5,000 one — can feel off-limits until you’ve built a life that can s... |
There are plenty of practical reasons to avoid buying things and stick with the hand-me-downs and Ikea. Good stuff isn’t cheap, you may be moving around a lot, you might be living in a space you’ll outgrow, and maybe the big-ticket items are best picked with a partner later on. Maybe you just don’t care about end table... |
But if you feel ready to own some grown-up furniture, it shouldn’t be your single status that holds you back. |
There are more single people now than ever, but there’s still an assumption that you’re not really an adult until you’re married or have a mortgage, and preferably both. There’s “adulting,” as the young people and the brands who chase them put it — negotiating a job offer, doing your taxes on time, learning what the wo... |
Most of us hit a point where we feel some version of I thought I’d have that figured out by now. I thought I’d be further along in my career. I thought I’d be married. I thought I’d have a house. My mother had two kids when she was my age. Not everyone wants all, or even any, of these things, even though we’d probably ... |
Without those traditional markers, you can feel adrift. It’s hard investing in physical symbols when it seems, either to you or to the people around you, like you’re still waiting for your real life to begin. Maybe 30 really is the new 20 — so when do you get the nice couch? |
I’m single, and I’ve moved around a lot, and the first time I bought new, non-Ikea furniture was surprisingly stressful: I’d never spent so much money on anything before, and I worried about screwing it up. Only a few years earlier I’d gone to the suburbs with my roommates to pick up a free Craigslist loveseat, which w... |
Since then, and two moves later, I’ve sometimes felt guilty spending good money on furniture that’s not going in a “forever home,” or even a five-year home. Mostly I love making my rented one-bedroom apartment look and feel exactly mine. But sometimes, when I’m contemplating a bigger purchase and the woman standing nex... |
The gap between the life you thought you’d have and the one you’re in can be freeing, lonely, or sometimes both. |
I’m secretly a little thrilled every time I visit the home of a married couple who, like me, are in their thirties, and realize that they don’t actually have 100% grown-up stuff. That the status society confers on your wedding day doesn’t come with automatic knowledge of appropriate window treatments (seriously, why do... |
Right now, I watch TV, read, work, and eat a lot of my meals on a 78” Ikea Stocksund sofa. It cost $599 and arrived in a gigantic box. I screwed the legs on myself. It’s pretty cute, and I find it neither particularly comfortable nor uncomfortable. For now, I live vicariously by suggesting Room & Board whenever someone... |
But I love my simple, airy Craigslisted R&B bed frame. After assembling several Ikea beds over the last few years — without the assistance of another adult — my mind was blown when I found that this one took literally two minutes to snap together. It has steel slats instead of those wooden ones that always clattered to... |
When I was debating if it was prudent to pay this much for a full-size bed — a single person’s bed — and maybe a new mattress too, I thought: Maybe in a few years, I’ll have a guest room, and it can go there. Or maybe I’ll resell it on Craigslist — people will always want secondhand Room & Board. It’s OK to spend all t... |
THE chief of south-west Queensland's hospital and health service will face court tomorrow charged with fraud. |
Graem Kelly, South West Hospital and Health Service CEO, will appear in Roma Magistrates Court on three counts of fraud and five counts of making a false claim as an official. |
The charges are believed to be related "insignificant entitlements like cab charges and meal allowances", the Western Star reports. |
Health Minister Lawrence Springborg has described the charges as "not overly significant". |
Board chairwoman Dr Julia Leeds has stood down temporarily while the matter is investigated. |
Bonang didn't let things go in 2018. |
This year fans were introduced to a different side to Mzansi's media darling, Bonang Matheba. |
Everyone knows that Twitter is infested with trolls who are constantly on the prowl and ,in the past, Queen B either used the block button or ignored. |
However, this year Bonang seemed to be gatvol and unleashed her inner clapback queen. |
B swiftly showed a troll the exit when he implied that she had become friends with Cassper after her break-up with AKA. |
That time a follower questioned B about being 30 with no baby. |
When Somizi apparently threw shade at B over her tax debacle at the Feather Awards. |
This follower who rattled off about her ex-boyfriends was never ready. |
This follower quickly learnt that trying to be smart on B's TL is asking for trouble. |
3 money moves Bonang Matheba is already cooking up for 2019! |
Nearly 450 residences are being developed near Interstate 40 and Highway 46 just outside the City of Dickson limits. |
The development, Woodland Hills, has been discussed with homeowners in the area by the project developers in recent months. |
The engineer for Woodland Hills is Dewey Engineering. The property owner is Johnna Watson, who is vice president of Dickson-based Benefits Inc. |
Watson is also the owner of Cambridge Estates, which neighbors the new Woodland Hills development. |
Watson said the property has been in the family for more than 30 years. |
