THE Combat Academy have once again taken a large number of medals, this time at the English Contact Karate Association (ECKA) National Championships in Coventry.
The 11 strong team competed across the three disciplines of the competition, semi contact, light continuous and free-form, claiming a total of 20 awards.
Craig Huttel, 13, took the double claiming golds and the national titles in both semi contact and light continuous, while his mum Lisa Huttel took also took home awards.
She took a gold in in Adults Red - Brown Belt Freeform, Silver in Ladies -60kgs Beginner - Purple Belt Light Continuous and Bronze in Ladies -60kgs Beginner - Purple Belt Semi Contact.
Despite already having a hamstring Injury, Chelle Banes secured silvers in both Adults Red – Brown Belt Freeform and Ladies -60kgs Beginner - Purple Belt Semi Contact, but was forced out of the Light continuous due to her injury.
However her success was not finished.
This competition was also the final event in the ECKA Grand Prix ,a series of two ECKA closed competitions and three open competitions held around the country.
Banes’s two silver medals had given her enough points to storm clear and be claim one of the four awards on offer and be crowned the ECKA Adult Novice to Purple Belt Grand Prix Champion.
Following in her mums footsteps, 10 year old Charlotte Banes reached the final of the Girls -5ft Open Grade Semi Contact, but faced an older more experienced opponent and had to settle for the silver.
Kay Parker’s category was merged with the higher grades due to lack of numbers.
Although only being a green belt, this did not deter her or stop her as she managed to defeat a black belt in the early rounds and claim silver medals in both semi contact and light continuous.
The Combat Academy’s Tiny Taz Junior coach Josh Small put in a sterling performance across both semi contact and light continuous disciplines.
He claimed the silver in Boys -5ft Purple – Black Belt light continuous and, after a three-way final ending in a draw in the semi contact, a count back on points still showed a draw and a fight off was forced.
Small was pushed into third place though and had to settle for the bronze.
He was one of only four people selected by the ECKA to fight in a kick light exhibition bout.
Kick light is a non stop kickboxing fight in where combatants use controlled techniques similar to that of light continuous, but are also allowed to deliver kicks to the legs.
After a a very close two round contest against a much older and larger opponent, the fight was declared a draw.
Max Day also secured double silver in both Boys -5ft 4 Beginner - Green Belt semi contact and light continuous divisions, while his father Simon Day took silver in Mens +80kgs Beginner - Purple Belt Semi Contact.
Jamie Baker, competing in the Adults 1st kyu - Black Belt Freeform, took a bronze medal adding to the tally.
The Combat Academy had two teams taking part in the team events and the - 5ft boys and girls team consisting of Josh Small, Craig Huttel and Charlotte Banes defeated the team from Coventry with ease to reach the final.
But a much tougher team from Kingsthorpe were in their way and after a 2-1 loss they claimed the silver.
The Ladies team of Chelle Banes, Kay Parker and Lisa Huttel, also in the final, came up against the team from Bletchley for the title.
Despite Blethley being a much higher graded team with a couple of black belts, Hereford still claimed a win thanks to Lisa Huttel.
But two other victories for Blethley meant Hereford had to settle for a silver medal.
Elsewhere, Theo Day and Williams Richards lost to eventual medallists in their first fights.

Paris Fashion Week is now in full swing, with Saint Laurent, Lanvin and Clare Waight Keller's final collection for Chloé among those to have presented their autumn/winter 2017 collections so far.
Anthony Vaccarello's second collection for Saint Laurent was one to watch; the souped-up shoulders and slinky satin cocktail dresses that have become a Vaccarello signature delivered a resounding sense of fierce femininity.
At Stella McCartney's show this morning, models wore utility fabrics in easy silhouettes with many of the looks recalling a modern take on The Queen's Balmoral wardrobe.

The 2018 Motor Sport Hall of Fame sees the introduction of a new category - Racing car - celebrating the most impressive racing machines from across the history of motorsport. To mark the new addition, two of the inaugural six nominees will be on display at Race Retro, held from 23-25 Feb at Stoneleigh Park.
The Audi Sport Quattro S1 was introduced at the end of 1984 as an update to the Audi Sport Quattro. The car features an inline five-cylinder 2110 cc engine and produces an officially quoted figure of 470bhp, however the turbocharger utilised a recirculating air system, with the actual figure in excess of 500bhp. Weighing only 1090 kg, it can accelerate from 0-60 mph in just 3.1 seconds.
Twenty years after the cancellation of Group B, the Sport Quattro S1 was still widely regarded as the most powerful rally car ever fielded in international competition, with the final factory machines of 1986 rated at an incredible 591bhp.
This particular car E2 competed in the 1985 RAC rally driven by Walter Rohrl but crashed out during the event forcing retirement. The car then went on to become a development vehicle for the double clutch ‘PDK’ gearbox. It was acquired by Audi UK in the late 1990s who have kindly loaned it for display.
Joining the Audi is the Ford Cosworth RS500. This particular model, owned by Paul Linfoot, is one of only nine RS500s to carry a works Ford chassis number- this being 99266.
The car was run by Ringshausen Motorsport for the 1988 through to 1990 DTM series for Ford motorsport in the Lui Magazine and the famous Texaco livery, driven by Manuel Reuter in 1988, Volker Weidler in 1989 and Ford works driver Piere Dieudonne in 1990.
The car is totally original and in outstanding condition, still sporting its 1988 Lui livery.
Both of these stunning cars can be seen in the Motor Sport Hall of Fame Live alongside other racing and rally legends.
The inaugural Racing Car nominees are the Porsche 917, Williams FW14B, Jaguar XJR9, Audi Quattro, McLaren MP4/4 and the Ford Cosworth RS500.

In many African countries, 이천호텔 출장 , 해적바둑이주소 and other 광양김해 출장 샵 made of elephant leather are offered for sale. The WWF advises tourists not to buy these products.
In Namibia and South Africa trade in elephant leather and hair products has been allowed since 2004.

Every now and then you just need a little “somethin’ somethin'” to spruce up an area…you know, to add a little festive flair without going over the top. Today’s DIY Mini Burlap Banner project is very simple, very cheap and does exactly that!
So, here we go. I took a strip of burlap (mine is 2.5 in) like this, and then I cut one side at an angle.
After cutting the top left side at an angle, I simply took my scissors and cut up from the bottom and made triangles!
Then, I placed them side by side!
Already lookin’ cute! All I did next was just take my twine and thread it through the top, attaching them all together! I left some extra twine at both ends so that I could tie it onto my grapevine wreath!
THEN….because this was for Valentine’s Day…I took my paintbrush and white paint and made some cute little hearts. Nothing perfect. Nothing over the top. Just simply took my brush and hand painted some little white hearts. I wanted neutral. It turned out super cute! You can probably even stamp the hearts or whatever design if you wanted!
Isn’t this adorable and SO SUPER SIMPLE???
You see my little Valentine’s tree in the background?? I am sharing that this week too! Whoo hooooo!

DETROIT – A proposal to divest stock in protest of Israel's treatment of Palestinians is moving forward at a national Presbyterian meeting.
A committee at the Presbyterian General Assembly approved a resolution Tuesday that would direct the church to liquidate its holdings in three companies whose products are used by the Israeli government in the occupied territories. The full General Assembly will vote on the proposal later this week.
The General Assembly is the top legislative body of the Presbyterian Church (U.S.A.). Delegates are meeting through Saturday in Detroit.
The targeted companies are Caterpillar, Motorola and Hewlett-Packard. Presbyterian holdings in the companies are valued at about $21 million. But divestment would hold greater symbolic value. It would be the broadest endorsement of divestment to date by an American religious group protesting Israel.

Every man has a different vision of his ideal garage. For example, a mechanic might dream of a black-and-white checkered floor strewn with engine parts; an electrician might grow giddy at the thought of an entire wall of circuitry.
Regardless of your fantasies, however, a few tools are universally handy. Here are just six essentials for the modern garage.
You can’t do anything in your garage without being able to see, so your first order of business is the installation of high-powered florescent lights. It doesn’t matter if they come in bulbs or light bars as long as they’re strong and spaced evenly throughout your work area.
Workbenches should be more than just counter tops. As the centerpiece of your garage, they should also represent platforms of productivity, offering everything from adjustable levels to rolling mechanisms to take your project with you as you move from one tool to the next. Don’t cut corners when it comes to a solid workbench.
A good snap-on air compressor is one of the staples of the well-stocked garage. Though they’re available for as little as $100, it’s worth the investment of a more advanced brand for a model that will last for years. Shop sites like Toolsmith Direct to learn more.
Unless you’re Superman, you’re going to need a hand to elevate your car during mechanical work. This is where lifts will make all the difference. Hydraulic floor jacks are good enough for most purposes, but if you’re a serious tinkerer, you might want to splurge for a two-post lift.
If you’re tired of your greasy, unsightly floor, or if it’s gotten so slippery that it’s actually starting to cause accidents while you work, it’s time to tear up the old and make way for the new. Look for something with epoxy coating that will resist stains and grime.
From hanging hooks to wall mounts, good organization is absolutely critical to a well-maintained garage. Not only will it keep you from misplacing your tools or accidentally slicing your finger on that random blade, but with everything you need right at hand, you can also complete projects quickly and much more efficiently.
These are six essentials for building or even just contemplating the ideal “man cave.” If you’re ready to transform your workshop into a bustling arena of ingenuity and design, it all starts with a list of supplies.

As the first Sedai Corner of 2014, the whole Sedai Project team wishes you a Happy New Year – 明けましておめでとうございます! Here’s to another year packed with discoveries, memories, and meaning.
Sedai would like to thank our most recent Sedai interviewee and contributor, Joanne Sugiyama. The stories and memories of each individual are invaluable and irreplaceable as unique pieces of the community mosaic. Many thanks for your time and consideration during the holiday season, Joanne!
This year, as part of the JCCC’s annual Sakura Gala, the JCCC would like to highlight and honour the contributions of the Jewish Canadian community, who showed great humanity and greatness of spirit to many Japanese Canadians resettling east of the Rockies following WWII. For those who endured the hardships of forced relocation, internment, Ghost towns, and POW camps, building a new life in a new part of Canada with the few possessions they still owned was an incredibly daunting and frightening proposition. Many Japanese Canadians who found themselves in these dire circumstances were turned away from housing and employment, for reasons often based on lingering racism and discrimination.
However, many Canadian Nikkei were given the chance to start their lives afresh with the assistance of Jewish Canadian business and property owners, who offered employment and shelter above the common prejudices of the day. This aspect of the narrative common to many Japanese Canadians who experienced postwar Canada has gone largely unacknowledged on a community scale – many Canadians in and outside of the Jewish Canadian population have little knowledge of this time period nor this historical gem of Canadian multicultural acceptance.
Here is where you can play a part! Did you, or someone you know, find assistance (eg. employment or housing) through members of the Jewish-Canadian community, following the war? Or do you recall any business names or names of individuals, who you believe should be recognized for their support of Japanese Canadians during the postwar period of discriminatory injustice? If so, Sedai would love to hear from you! All inquiries regarding this history, as well as regarding interviews, can be directed to Elizabeth Fujita, Sedai Project Coordinator, at elizabeth.fujita@jccc.on.ca or 416 441 2345 ext 303.

There is a variety of alternative names for syngas which has been produced from specific sources e.g. ‘woodgas’ is made from wood, whilst ‘coal gas’ and ‘producer gas’ are made from coal and coke. Sometimes waste gases from industrial processes can be converted into syngas which gives the dual benefit of getting rid of them and also providing energy.
Engines running on syngas can have oxidation catalytic converters fitted, the purpose of which is primarily to oxidise carbon monoxide. Prior to specifying a catalytic converter however it is necessary to identify and quantify any toxins which will damage the catalytic converter, for example sulphur, lead and siloxanes. It is also essential to quantify any reduction in methane emissions required since the catalytic oxidation of methane requires special catalytic coatings.

TROY, N.Y. — The stories of our life are not linear. Yes, we’re born, and eventually we die. But not everything in between is understood as a straight line.
For instance, something that influenced us as children can, at times, only make sense once we are adults. Even the more mundane experiences need context. Often, we don’t understand all the interactions at a cocktail party until we’ve left the party.
Certainly, it’s true that we cannot understand the whole history of an era while it is happening. We need time for the bits and pieces of information to form a whole. Understanding history helps to figure out today.
In this sense, “The Prohibition Project: Illium Was,” a new theater work being offered by Troy Foundry Theatre at Collar Works this weekend and next, is a history play. Set in Troy during the prohibition era, it hopes to take moments from the past in order to illuminate the present.
The production is a collaboration between Die-Cast, a theater group located in Philadelphia and Troy Foundry, a local professional theater company. Both are dedicated to producing theater in unique and non-traditional spaces.
Collar Works is a not-for-profit arts space located at 621 River Street in Troy. The building was once, not long ago, a decrepit structure that was built in a more prosperous time. Now it is a flourishing apartment complex and an arts incubator.
It seems the perfect location, and almost a metaphor for a group trying to use the past to tell a story about the world in which we live. For this piece, Troy Foundry has configured the space to resemble a 1920s speakeasy.
Coleen Corcoran is a cast member who acts and resides in Philadelphia. This is her second time performing in this area with Troy Foundry. She insists the performance which is set at the end of the 1920s, is as much about today as it is the era in which it is presented.
She describes “Prohibition” as “a theater piece, composed of vignettes that tell an intriguing story to capture a moment in time and history.” She explains that the work is offered through a number of scenes that take place at the same time.
Corcoran admits that initially they might not seem connected to the same story.
“It’s not A, B, or C,” she says. “The audience will be in control of what moment they want to experience, and in the order in which they want to experience it.” Indeed, she admits that it is unlikely any audience member will have time to experience them all.
Indeed, “The Prohibition Project” seems all about timing. It takes place in the 1920s and is about a country that is divided by moral causes and political divisiveness. And, if Coleen Corcoran’s hopes are met, you will leave Collar Works feeling you never left the United States of the 21stcentury.
Adult tickets are $18. They are available at brownpapertickets.com and at the door night of performance.

In July 1654, right after Alessandro Algardi’s death, his pupils Ercole Ferrata and Domenico Guidi were already working on a model of a scene in low-relief intended for the main altarpiece in Sant’Agnese. According to Carlo Cartari, Guidi’s biographer, the latter’s work in the church was hindered by someone, probably by Ferrata. And indeed, in 1660, Ferrata managed to achieve a position of absolute authority in the yard of Sant’Agnese, personally assigning commissions for altarpieces destined to the piers under the dome. The chosen artists, of average standing, had all gravitated around Algardi or still around Ferrata, but Guidi was clamorously banished from that assignment. Certainly, Ferrata always aimed to accomplish the great low-relief for the main altar, already commissioned from Algardi in 1654, and when, between 1671 and 1672, Guidi finally managed to obtain the coveted commission, Ferrata left the yard and started a lawsuit against the Pamphilj.

I know how to reset the Track Markers and Pause once I resize a selection in the Project window, but is there a way to set a preference to do that automatically? While I understand the desire to have the option to edit these independently, most of the time it simply makes what was a once 'no step' process a minimal three step process.
There is currently no automatic way to make track markers follow the size of a track selection. This is a side effect of the other new features in the Project Page timeline. That is not to say that what you ask for cannot be added at some later point, but to our knowledge it doesn't currently exist in 3.5.1.

I’m not a minion just following Christ because he’s the biggest, badest dude. I am a follower of a God who is involved in my life, who cares, nurtures, laughs and cries with me. One who is moved with grief that we struggle so deeply with our depressed state. He is a God who comforts. Seems to me that a God who came off his throne, took on our flesh, limited himself to eat, drink and go fishing with us, would want his disciples to do the same.
Discipleship is messy. It means that we can’t keep our distance, it means that our sin marked scars will be exposed, and it means that we can’t be counting the numbers. Jesus went after the one who was lost, even if he had a crowd of followers. He helped the child destroyed by demonic forces. He healed the sick, he dined with tax collectors. He dined with Pharisees. God dined with me! I am that lost sheep that Jesus pursued. I am that one that he said was worth dying for. Anyone who wants to be a fisher of men has to be in the pool where the fish are biting. There is no formula, sharing the gospel is as individual as our fingerprints.
Discipleship starts with following Jesus.
Seeing the needs of those around you.
Acting on those needs now, the harvest is ripe.
Discipleship is not complicated, it is actually rather simple. In fact, many of our idols have “groupies” that make decisions on wardrobe, hair and behavior based upon the person they have plastered on their wall. Who are you studying? Who is it that you moves you to action? We all follow something or someone. I follow Christ and therefore my words are meant to draw you closer to the one who changed me!
There is nothing like witnessing God’s love catching fire in the bosom of another. I get a front row seat to God’s unfolding plan in your life! I am in constant prayer as I speak to you, asking for discernment. Many of you are struggling with deep heart and soul pain, as well as physical. I don’t always say the right words and that used to bother me. But, sharing grace isn’t about perfection, it is about presence!
May I be a light, present in the darkness. True discipleship is sharing the reality of Christ’s active role in my life, I carry a cross, not a silver spoon! Life has not been easy for me; I have many sorrows. I am learning to the depth of my being that my contentment comes from Christ alone, my hope is in him, and my joy is in that in his realm we are raised from the dead! For the past year I have been discipled, even as I disciple others. I was guided to scriptures that refresh my weary soul and speak truth over my circumstances when I find myself wanting to believe lies. I was strengthened by being in community with another, further along in her journey.
Participating in the Out of the Darkness Community Walk on Sunday I was deeply burdened and hopeful as I turned another page on suicide. So many men and women walked with me, deeply wounded by depression and suicide, just like me! I want to offer hope and discipleship gives me the opportunity to share through relationship. At times it feels like I’m attempting to hold back a tidal wave, but by God’s love, grace and discipline, I continue to stand in the darkness and cry out NO MORE! I cannot offer you anything less than what sustains me in my grief. Disciples of Christ do not stand alone, the Spirit stands with us. He lit the candles of the first disciples, and they lit many candles after Jesus, all the way to this present moment. Discipleship is lighting a candle, then another, and another until the world isn’t so dark any more.
← Out of the Darkness Walk: Who Will Walk With Me?
Beautifully written. Love to see how God is healing you and using you to share His love and light. Discipleship at its best. Love you.

Jacksonville State had the top offense in the conference in 2016 averaging 434 yards per game. The Gamecocks also had their league’s top rushing offense (250.6 yards per game).
Dunn earned a second straight first team all-Ohio Valley Conference nod as a senior.
The Hewitt-Trussville High School alum joins his brother Riley and sister Courtney on the Plains. Dunn, who graduated with a bachelor’s degree in manufacturing engineering, played at Jordan-Hare Stadium in 2015 when JSU almost upset Auburn in overtime.
Dunn’s presence could mean Auburn is hoping to move Austin Golson back to tackle. Golson has spent much of the past two seasons at center, but spent the first four games of 2016 as the team’s starting left tackle.
Auburn has a mixed track record with recent grad transfers.
Blake Countess was named the team’s defensive MVP last year as a grad transfer from Michigan two years ago.

Background: MEOX1 is a homeobox transcriptional factor, and plays essential roles in regulating somite development. Our previous study indicated that MEOX1 is a critical molecular target in mesenchymal-like cancer cells in PTEN-deficient Trastuzumab resistant breast cancer. Despite the potential implication of MEOX1 for the cancer progression, no previous studies examined its level and clinical significance in lung cancer tissues. In this study, we aimed to detect the MEOX1 expression and correlate its level with clinical outcome in non-small-cell lung cancer patients (NSCLC).
Methods: MEOX1 gene expression in lung cancer was examined by using the Oncomine database. MEOX1 protein levels were evaluated by IHC using the corresponding primary antibody on two different commercial lung cancer tissue arrays. siRNA knockdown was used to elucidate the function of MEOX1.
Results: Analysis of the Oncomine datasets identified that an elevation of MEOX1 in gene amplification in lung cancer tissues in comparison to normal lung tissues. Immunohistochemistical analysis demonstrated that MEOX1 was localized predominantly in the nucleus, and positive rate was 67.3% (111/165) in NSCLC samples. Statistical analysis revealed high levels of MEOX1 significantly correlated with Lymph Node Metastasis and Stage. Kaplan-Meier survival analysis showed that high levels of MEOX1 were significantly associated with unfavorable survival in NSCLC patients, and MEOX1 nucleus staining had worse survival, than did patients with overall expression in lung squamous cell carcinoma patients. Multivariate Cox's regression analysis found that MEOX1 was an independent poor prognostic predictor for patients with NSCLC. Silencing of MEOX1 by specific SiRNA significantly inhibited H460 and H1299 cell proliferation and sphere formation in serum-free medium.
Conclusions: Our results firstly indentified that high levels of MEOX1 especially nuclear staining was an independent prognostic factor for NSCLC, and it served a essential roles in the regulation of cell proliferation and colony formation in vitro. It may represent a potential target for the NSCLC treatment.
Lung cancer is one of the most common cancers with highest mortality rate in China. Comparing with other pathological type, Non-small-cell lung cancer (NSCLC) accounts for approximately 80-85% of lung cancer cases. Despite great improvements in treatment over recent decades, the outcome of patients has not significantly improved. Therefore, it is necessary to identify the novel therapeutic targets for lung cancer treatment.
MEOX1 is a critical homeobox transcriptional factor, which could affect the somite formation. Several studies have proved that dysregulation of MEOX1 is associated with cancer progression. In ovarian cancer, MEOX1, as a PBX1 cofactor in, mediates the cellular growth signal. In Triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC), MEOX1 was overexpressed in mesenchymal stem-like subtype cancer cells, which were sensitive to NVP-BEZ235 and dasatinib treatment . Our previous study identified that MEOX1 was overexpressed in breast cancer tissues and played key roles in developmement of trastuzumab-resistance and epithelial to mesenchymal transtion. In addition, down-regulation of MEOX1 could decrease mammosphere and colony formation in vitro, and inhibit the tumor growth and breast cancer stem cell frequency in vivo. Although MEOX1 might play an important role in carcinogenesis, no previous studies investigated its expression, clinical significance and function in lung cancer.
In this study, we not only demonstrated that MEOX1 was significantly elevated and closely associated with poor prognosis of NSCLC patients, but also regulated cell proliferation and sphere formation in vitro for the first time.
Oncomine was used for the analysis of MEOX1 level in lung cancer (http://www.oncomine.org). Gene expression was evaluated by comparing lung cancer and normal patient datasets. The analyzing procedure was performed according to previous studies.
Two different commercial lung cancer tissue arrays were constructed by Shanghai Biochip Co. Ltd. as described. Briefly, lung adenocarcinoma tissue array contains 90 cases of patients, and lung squamous cell carcinoma tissue array contains 75 cases respectively. Both of them contained the correspondent adjacent normal tissues. For all the specimens, clinicopathological factors and survival status were available.
The MEOX1 protein levels were evaluated by standard Avidin-biotin complex peroxidase immunohistochemical staining. Briefly, after deparaffinizationin xylene and graded alcohols, heated antigen retrieval was done in citrate buffer (10mmol/L pH 6.0) by water-bath kettle heating for 30min. Endogenous peroxidase was blocked in 0.3% hydrogen peroxide for 10 min. Nonspecific binding was blocked by incubation in 10% normal animal serum for 10min. Sections were incubated at 4°C for 24 h with primary antibodies against MEOX1 (HPA045214, Sigma-Aldrich). We employed semi-quantitative scoring system in considering the staining intensity and the percentage of positive cancer cells, which has been widely accepted and used in previous studies[6, 9]. Tissues with no or faint staining were rated as 0, with moderate staining as 1, with strong staining as 2. The percentage of positive cells was scored as follows: 0 (0 to 25%), 1 (25%-50%), 2 (>50%). The results were determined using the following formula: overall score = positive percentage score × intensity score. The staining were defined as negative (from 0 to 2), and positive (>2).
SiRNA targeting human MEOX1was purchased from Qiagen (validated FlexiTube siRNA). Lipofectamine® RNAiMAX was used to transfect cells. As a negative control, a non-targeting sequence siRNA was employed (Qiagen, 1027281). Knockdown at mRNA level was confirmed by real-time quantitative RT-PCR. MEOX1 Primer: Forward primer, 5-GAAACCCCCACTCGGAAGG-3, Reverse primer, 5-GGGTGCTGCTCAGTGAAGAT-3.
Cancer cells were seeded at a density of 2,000 cells per well in 96-well plates. Cell growth was determined by MTS assay according to manufacturer's instruction by measuring the absorbance at 490 nm on a Synergy 2 plate reader (Biotek).
Mammosphere culture was done according to MammoCult™ Human Medium Kit (05620, STEMCELL Technologies Inc.) supplemented with Heparin and Hydrocortisone. Single cells were plated in six-well ultralow attachment plates (Corning) at a density of 500 cells/ml. After 14 days of culture, the number of mammospheres was counted on a Nikon Eclipse TE2000-S microscope and the photos were acquired with MetaMorph 7.6.0.0.
The SPSS 15 software package (SPSS, Inc., Chicago, IL) was used for statistical analysis. The association between MEOX1 expression and clinicopathologic features was analyzed by using χ2-test or two-sided t-test as appropriate. Kaplan-Meier analysis and log-rank test were used to evaluate the overall survival (OS) of patients with lung cancer according to the expression of MEOX1. Cox's proportional hazards regression model was used for multivariate analysis of survival in lung cancer patients. All comparisons were two-tailed, and p-value of < 0.05 was considered statistically significant.
By using Oncomine datasets, we investigated the MEOX1 gene expression in lung cancer. The results showed that MEOX1 gene copy number in lung cancer tissues was higher than in normal tissues in TCGA and Weiss Lung datasets (Figure. 1A, 1B). Moreover, up-regulation of MEOX1 was also found in Squamous cell lung carcinoma with distant metastasis (M1 stage) in compared with ones without distant metastasis (M0 stage) in TCGA dataset (Figure 1C). Taken together, these data indicated that MEOX1 was highly expressed in lung cancer tissues especially in NSCLC, which might play essential roles in lung cancer progression.

We evaluated the expression of the MEOX1 in Human NSCLC tissue arrays by immunohistochemistry. The results demonstrated that MEOX1 was positive in 111/165 primary tumors (67.3%), but there was no or weak staining of adjacent normal tissues. Moreover, MEOX1 was predominantly localized to the nucleus (Figure. 2). Statistical analysis revealed that whether cytoplasmic or nuclear MEOX1 staining was significantly associated with Lymph Node metastasis and Stage. Furthermore, MEOX1 expression was more frequent in adenocarcinoma than squamous cell carcinoma (P = 0.000). However, no statistically significant correlations were identified between the expression of MEOX1 and other clinicopathologic characteristics (Table 1).
Kaplan-Meier analysis showed that the overall survival time of lung cancer patients with high levels of MEOX1 was markedly shorter than those with MEOX1-negative expression (Figure. 3A, 3B). Further analysis indicated that MEOX1 nucleus staining had worse survival, than did patients with overall expression in squamous cell lung cancer patients (Figure. 3C). Then, we performed Cox multivariate regression model to test the independent value of each variable predicting overall survival. The results revealed that MEOX1 nuclear staining level (HR=3.304; 95% CI: 2.115-5.161; P=0.000) and Stage (HR=1.750; 95% CI: 1.030-2.972; P=0.038) were statistically independent predictive factors of poorer prognosis for lung cancer (Table 2).
To study the function of MEOX1 in lung cancer cell line, we employed siRNA knockdown to study the effect of MEOX1 on cell proliferation and self-renewal ability in vitro. Silencing of MEOX1 significantly reduced its mRNA as determined by quantitative real-time PCR. The results showed that inhibition of MEOX1 dramatically suppressed the mammosphere formation number by 89.1% and 79.6% in H1299 and H460 cells over 14 days. And, mammosphere size was significantly decreased as well (Figure 4A). MTS assay indicated that knockdown of MEOX1 in H1299 cells grew at a rate 71.2% slower than control cells. Consistently, inhibition of MEOX1 also attenuated lung cancer cell H460 proliferation, and the inhibitory rate was approximately 51.2% (Figure 4B). Together, these results showed that MEOX1 might play important roles in lung cancer progression.
Lung cancer is a leading cause of cancer death worldwide. Approximately, non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) accounts for 85% lung cases, which is typically classified into two subtypes including adenocarcinoma (AD) and squamous cell carcinoma (SCC) [7, 11]. Although novel treatment strategies have been developed, the lung cancer death rate still remains high[12-14]. Therefore, it is necessary to identify other novel targets for clinical practice.

The growth of H1299 and H460 cell following MEOX1 knockdown as determined by MTS in comparison with parental or Nc-control cells.
MEOX1 is a critical homeobox gene, which is essential for the development of somite formation. Mutations in MEOX1 are associated with Klippel-Feil Syndrome. It has been reported that aberrant expression of MEOX1 might involve in cancer progression. In ovarian cancer, MEOX1 was identified as a direct target gene of PBX1 involving in cancer cell growth. Moreover, it has reported that MEOX1 was overexpressed in mesenchymal stem-like subtype cancer cells in TNBC . Our previous study also demonstrated that MEOX1 might play key roles in mesenchymal-like breast cancer cell proliferation and BCSC self-renewal ability. Moreover, suppression of MEOX1 by sulforaphane (SF) was able to effectively inhibit bulk tumor volume and reduce frequency of BCSCs in an orthotopic xenograft mouse model of breast cancer Immuunohistochemistry assay showed that the expression of MEOX1 was specifically elevated in breast cancer tissues, and nuclear protein localization of MEOX1 was correlated with poorer overall survival, an advanced tumor stage, and the presence of lymph node metastasis. Despite the potential implication of MEOX1 for the cancer progression, no previous studies have examined its level and clinical significance in lung cancer.
In this study, we firstly evaluated MEOX1 expression levels by using Oncomine datasets. We found that MEOX1 gene copy number was higher than in normal tissues in TCGA and Weiss Lung datasets. Interestingly, MEOX1 levels were higher in Squamous cell lung carcinoma with distant metastasis (M1 stage) than in ones without distant metastasis (M0 stage) in TCGA dataset. It is plausible that MEOX1 might contribute to lung cancer progression. Then, we detected MEOX1 protein level in human NSCLC tissue arrays by using IHC. The results showed that MEOX1 was highly expressed in NSCLC cancer tissues, with a positive rate of 67.3%.
We do find the MEOX1 cytoplasmic staining in lung cancer tissues, and the positive rate was 16.0% (12/75) in lung squamous cell carcinoma tissues and 11.1% (10/90) in lung adenocarcinoma tissues, respectively. As a transcriptional factor, we found that MEOX1 staining was predominantly localized to the nucleus. Clinical relevance analysis showed that positive expression of MEOX1 in NSCLC tissues was significantly correlated with Lymph Node Metastasis and Stage. Kaplan-Meier analysis indicated that lung cancer patients with high levels of MEOX1 had significantly shorter time than those with MEOX1-negative expression. Moreover, Cox multivariate regression model revealed that MEOX1 nuclear staining level and Stage were statistically independent predictive factors relating to poorer prognosis for lung cancer.
According to the MEOX1 level in lung cancer tissues and its clinical relevance, it is plausible that MEOX1 might promote tumor progression. Then we employed the SiRNA to knockdown its level in lung cancer cell line to assess its effects on cell growth in vitro. The results demonstrated that down-regulation of MEOX1 led to a significant reduction in lung cancer cell line H460 and H1299 proliferation and mammosphere formation in serum-free medium. In the future, we would further identify its downstream target genes, and determine the related molecular mechanism in lung cancer progression.
In conclusion, our study firstly demonstrated that over-expression of MEOX1 was significantly associated with poor survival in NSCLC. MEOX1 could be used as a potential novel target for human NSCLC.

Eleven US, NATO, and Afghan troops and an interpreter were killed in a helicopter crash in southern Afghanistan today. The Taliban have claimed credit for shooting down the helicopter, although the cause of the crash has not yet been determined.
The Taliban claimed they shot down a helicopter in Zirtali in the Shah Wali Kot district in Kandahar province in a statement released on their website, Voice of Jihad, late Wednesday night, before ISAF confirmed the crash. The spokesman for Kandahar’s provincial government confirmed that a helicopter was shot down in the province, according to Khaama Press.
The Taliban said they shot down the Chinook with a rocket-propelled grenade, or RPG, while the ISAF and Afghan forces were conducting a raid.
The Taliban claimed the helicopter “was set ablaze in the air and fell to the ground,” and that 33 troops were killed. The Taliban routinely exaggerate the casualties caused by their attacks.
Although not stated by ISAF, the helicopter may have been used for a joint Coalition and Afghan special operations raid. US Forces-Afghanistan personnel include US special operations forces troops, and are used to conduct the targeted “night raids” against key nodes of the Taliban, Haqqani Network, al Qaeda, the Islamic Movement of Uzbekistan, and other allied terror groups operating throughout Afghanistan. Additionally, the composition of the forces – US and Afghan – conducting a raid at night in an area known to serve as a Taliban haven, indicates this may have been a combined special operations raid.
The Taliban have shot down special operations forces helicopters in the past using RPGs. The two largest shootdowns resulted in the deaths of dozens of US special forces and Afghan troops. On Aug. 6, 2011, the Taliban shot down a US Army Chinook helicopter in Sayyidabad. Thirty-eight US and Afghan troops, including 17 US Navy SEALS from the Naval Special Warfare Development Group, were killed in the crash.
In July 2005, the Bara bin Malek Front, a Taliban subgroup operating in Kunar, shot down a US special operations Chinook helicopter. The US team was attempting to recover a four-man team of Navy SEALs who disappeared during Operation Red Wings. Three of the missing SEAL team died in an ambush and another 16 US personnel — eight SEALs and eight members of the 160th Special Operations Aviation Regiment — were killed when the Taliban shot the helicopter down with a salvo of rocket-propelled grenades.

Like many of my constituents, we received an offer of a primary school place for the youngest of our three boys this week.
- almost 96 per cent of offers were for a school that parents' had expressed some preference for.
It's great to see that the Council is coping with the rising demand for school places (I have been working hard to ensure they get sufficient funding from the Government to provide the extra places needed) and that more parents are getting a place at a school of their choice. But there are still about 190 parents that have been offered a place at a school they didn't apply to. If you are one of my constituents, find yourself in this positon and want to appeal, please get in touch.

PICK/Prediction ***OVER 182.5 *** Bet NOW at BetUS!
Over is 6-2 the last 8 head to head meetings. Game 3&4 in Houston clogged the paint while allowing the 3 point shoot. Portland shot 46% from 3 point land and was a perfect 17-17 from the charity stripe. Houston scored 89 despite shooting 39% from the floor going 14-22 FTM 63.6%. A few extra free throws and the Total would be over 183. Portland is down 3-1 and will have to try something more drastic if they are down. The Blazers have limited their use of small ball and Rudy Fernandez because of the impact of Yao. Expect a more wide open game and the use of small ball to create mismatches and pressure.

Read my review on Wet n Wild megalast catsuit matte liquid lipstick in Coral Corruption ..
Packaging - The Wet n Wild lip liner is in pencil form with a transparent plastic cap.. The pencil is long and sleek and bigger in size from the regular lip liners.. There is no sharpener with the liner which is a drawback I guess... They should provide one.. Some information is written on the pencil... There is no ingredients list..
The shade Plumberry is a very pretty plumy mouv-ish kind shade.. The texture is very creamy and soft on lips.. It glides very smoothly on lips without tugging or pulling... The liner is completely matte . The shade is very pigmented on lips.. Here in the below pic, I have applied this on my whole lips and it gives a nice opaque finish.. The shade is not transfer-proof ..It is not waterproof though... But I haven't any issue with that, as it is a liner and I can apply a transfer-proof lipstick over it.. It stays alone 3-4 hours on my lips with very light snacks.. After started fading, it leaves a nice stain on lips which also I love.. Along with lipstick the staying ability is more obviously .
The shade will go with most of the darker shades like berry shade, burgundy shade, purple-ish shade, etc.. And with few neutral mauvy kind shades as well. I would love to try out few other shades of this range.. It is super affordable according to the quality and quantity. These are really a good deal for all lipstick lovers... Why are you waiting now, just grab few shades and enjoy the perfect pout lips ..
nice review. i like that the texture is nice and not harsh/tough to apply.
This is such a pretty shade. I was longing to buy something from this brand. Seems like a must try.
shade is beautiful and looks preety. I am yet to try wet n wild products.
Nice colour and sound like good product. Want to try it once.

By John Hagel III and originally published on typepad.com in edgeperspectives.
We all want to be lucky, but we generally feel there’s little we can do about it. I’ve long challenged the conventional view that luck is just something that happens to us and that there’s little we can do other than be prepared for it when it happens.
On a very different front, I’ve been exploring for years the power of narrative and, as it turns out, one of the reasons narratives are so powerful is that they can shape serendipity. Let me flesh this out a bit.
First, I’ll address the concept of shaping serendipity.
I’m focusing on a specific form of luck – the luck of unexpected encounters with others that leads to new insights.
I focus on connecting with others because it’s the gift that keeps on giving – rather than a one-time win like winning a lottery or finding a parking spot, meeting others can lead to a stream of insights, rather than just one new idea.
As I’ve written in the past, we can increase the probability of that kind of serendipity through a wide range of choices and actions. For example, we could choose environments that increase the likelihood of unexpected encounters that result in valuable new insights – e.g., we’re much more likely to have those unexpected encounters in a large city than a small village.
Once we’re in those environments, we can adopt a set of practices that will attract the attention of people who turn out to have great insight relative to our interests. And once we have those encounters, we can adopt practices to increase the likelihood of surfacing the most valuable insights that lead to new discoveries.
For me, stories are self-contained – they have a beginning, a middle and an end. Stories are also about the story-teller or about some other people, they’re not about you, the listener. In contrast, for me, narratives are open-ended – there is no resolution, yet.
There’s some kind of opportunity or threat out in the future and it’s not clear whether it will materialize or not. The resolution of the narrative hinges on you, the listener – the resolution will depend in part on the choices you make and the actions you take. So, a narrative is a call to action directed at the listeners, stressing the role that they can and need to play in resolving the narrative.
Narratives play an important role at many levels in our lives. We all have individual narratives (rarely made explicit), institutions have the potential to frame a narrative of their own (but surprisingly few do) and there are a variety of broader social and political narratives. Narratives can shape serendipity at all three levels.
For reasons that will become apparent below, I’m going to focus in particular on opportunity-based narratives, rather than threat-based narratives.
So, how can narratives help to shape serendipity? It’s simple – they harness the power of pull. Effectively framed narratives are designed to inspire and motivate others to come together with us to accomplish something that none of us could fully accomplish on our own.
Serendipity is shaped in part by the ability to attract others – to draw people to us that we never knew existed and that we had no idea could contribute some really valuable insight in some area of interest to us.
How can we harness that ability to attract others? We need to frame an opportunity that will motivate people to seek us out. That requires an opportunity that’s deeply meaningful not just to ourselves, but to others well. It’s also important to identify an opportunity that can be shared by others – it’s not just about something that will benefit me, but something that we can all benefit from.
It would be even more powerful if the opportunity grows as more and more people join the quest to achieve the opportunity. That way, we’re not just sharing a smaller and smaller piece of a fixed pie, but the pie is growing as participation grows. This provides a powerful sense of shared interest – the more who join us, the bigger and more attractive the opportunity becomes.
There’s another key element of attraction in narratives. As mentioned, narratives are a powerful call to action but they’re also a plea for help. Narratives represent an acknowledgement that we, the crafters of the narrative, are unable to achieve this opportunity on our own – we need the help of others.
That’s in part why the narrative is unresolved – until and unless we receive that help, the opportunity is unlikely to be realized. That acknowledgement helps to build trust – we’re admitting our own limitations and asking for help. So, not only are people motivated to seek us out and find us, they’re more likely to share ideas with us because there’s a level of trust that invites this sharing.
There’s a third element of narratives that helps to enhance the potential for serendipity – they encourage new ideas. Narratives frame an opportunity at a high level, with enough specificity to be credible and inspiring, but they don’t develop the opportunity in such detail that there’s nothing left to be said.
The most inspiring narratives are those that invite exploration of the full richness of the opportunity and co-creation of the opportunity as it emerges and evolves.
Narratives also leave a large open space regarding the detailed actions required to achieve the opportunity – there’s an invitation to join in crafting approaches that can have greater impact in achieving the opportunity and learning from the experiences to date.
Talk about increasing the potential for serendipitous encounters!
Narratives have the potential to attract people we never knew, brimming with ideas about an opportunity that’s meaningful to us and with enough trust to be willing to share those ideas during a first encounter. More fundamentally, they also have the potential to build deeper, long-term relationships where we will not just gain unexpected insight from an initial encounter, but a continuing stream of insights as we join together to pursue that inspiring opportunity.
There’s another, perhaps even more fundamental, way in which opportunity based narratives can help us to shape serendipity – they nurture the emotions that increase luck.
Research by Richard Wiseman and other psychologists and sociologists has shown that we tend to be “luckier” if we’re not driven by anxiety or fear. These emotions tend to reduce our openness to unexpected events. Well, opportunity based narratives help us to overcome those kinds of emotions and tend to nurture optimism and hope, emotions that help us to be more open to those unexpected events.
But the key is that we need to be willing to frame a narrative that can be a true catalyst for such serendipitous encounters. That has many challenges.
We need to be willing to invite others to join us on a journey to address an opportunity that extends beyond our narrow self-interest. We need to acknowledge that we alone cannot achieve that opportunity and that we alone don’t have all the answers. We need to be willing to ask for help.
Narratives indeed have the potential to shape serendipity. But we need to harness that potential. We need to step back and reflect whether, at an individual level, we have crafted a narrative that has this potential. Most of our individual “narratives” are about us, rather than about opportunities that are bigger than us.
They’re backward looking, helping us to rationalize how we got to where we are today, rather than forward looking, driven by an opportunity that’s out in the future. They’re about what we are doing to achieve even more, rather than representing a call for help and support from others in achieving an opportunity that’s meaningful to them as well.
Even if we have an individual narrative that has the potential to shape serendipity, we need to then ask if the institutions we’re part of have narratives that have that same potential. Few institutions today have that kind of narrative.
We have the opportunity to evolve narratives at an institutional level that can significantly amplify the potential for serendipity.
I’ve written elsewhere about the need to ensure that narratives at multiple levels – individual, institutional and social and political – amplify and reinforce each other. That applies to the goal of shaping serendipity – we’re likely to be far luckier if we’ve aligned our narratives on these various levels.
The power of attraction can be significantly undermined if there’s a divergence or inconsistency in the narratives that define our context.
Of course, lack of alignment should not be an excuse to give up. We should still seek at a minimum to craft an individual narrative that will increase our ability to shape serendipity for ourselves. All I’m suggesting is that we should consider how aligned our individual narrative is with the institutional and social and political context we find ourselves in. Where feasible, we should seek to influence these broader narratives or consider moving to other institutions or areas that have narrative more aligned with our own. We’ll become even luckier if we can find ways to align narratives at multiple levels.
So far, I’ve been talking about the potential for narratives to shape serendipity as an opportunity. It is a significant opportunity.
But, it’s not just an opportunity, it’s an imperative. In a world of exponential change, where the need is to learn faster throughout our lives, those of us who are “luckier,” those of us who can significantly increase the probability of unexpected encounters that lead to new insight and faster learning, will be the ones to truly thrive and create far more value for ourselves and for others.
What will you do to shape your serendipity?
Stories and narratives – I’ve explored this distinction at greater length here (as well as in many subsequent Edge Perspectives blog posts).

Objectives This is an early feasibility clinical test of mitral loop cerclage annuloplasty to treat secondary mitral valve regurgitation.
Background Secondary mitral regurgitation is characterized by cardiomyopathy, mitral annular enlargement, and leaflet traction contributing to malcoaptation. Transcatheter mitral loop cerclage applies circumferential compression to the mitral annulus by creating a loop through the coronary sinus across the interventricular septum, protecting entrapped coronary arteries from compression, and interactive annular reduction under echocardiographic guidance. This is the first human test of mitral loop annuloplasty.
Methods Five subjects with severe symptomatic secondary mitral regurgitation underwent mitral loop cerclage, with echocardiographic and computed tomography follow-up over 6 months.
Results Mitral loop cerclage was successful in 4 of 5 subjects and aborted in 1 of the 5 because of unsuitable septal coronary vein anatomy. Immediately and over 6 months, measures of both mitral valve regurgitation (effective orifice area and regurgitation fraction) and chamber dimensions (left atrial and left ventricular volumes) were reduced progressively and ejection fractions increased. Two with persistent and permanent atrial fibrillation spontaneously reverted to sinus rhythm during follow-up. One subject experienced a small myocardial infarction from an unrecognized small branch coronary occlusion. Another, experiencing cardiogenic shock at baseline, died of intractable heart failure after 6 weeks.
Conclusions In this first human test, mitral loop cerclage annuloplasty was successful in 4 of 5 attempts, caused reverse remodeling (reduction in secondary mitral regurgitation and heart chamber volumes), and suggested electrical remodeling (reversion of atrial fibrillation). Further evaluation is warranted.
Mitral valve regurgitation despite normal leaflets, also known as secondary or functional mitral valve regurgitation, is a common complication of left ventricular dysfunction that contributes to heart failure symptoms (1). It results from annular dilation and papillary traction causing leaflet malcoaptation. Percutaneous leaflet repair to relieve leaflet malcoaptation relieves symptoms (2,3) and produces favorable “reverse” left ventricle (LV) remodeling (4). Numerous alternative or adjunctive transcatheter strategies are under development (5).
Transcatheter mitral annuloplasty through the coronary sinus is attractive in its simplicity, but has been criticized because of the likelihood of compression of entrapped circumflex branch coronary arteries, because of the discordant rotational orientation of the mitral valve commissures in relation to the coronary sinus, and because of nonoverlapping planes of the mitral annulus and coronary sinus (6–8). To address these limitations, we developed transcatheter mitral cerclage annuloplasty, which incorporates an arch-like device to protect entrapped coronary arteries against compression, which delivers circumferential annular tension that enhances leaflet coaptation irrespective of rotational orientation of the mitral commissure in relation to the coronary sinus, and which accomplishes septal-lateral apposition irrespective of high atrial variants of the coronary sinus (9). Thereafter, we reported preclinical results of a new “mitral loop cerclage” catheter system (10). Herein we report the results of the first human test of mitral loop cerclage.
This open-label, single-arm, prospective, first-in-human feasibility study was approved by the Korea Food and Drug Administration and by the institutional ethics board of Pusan National University Yangsan Hospital (NCT02471664).
All subjects for this feasibility study consented in writing and were selected by the institutional multidisciplinary heart team. They were eligible to participate if they had New York Heart Association functional class III or IV heart failure with severe secondary mitral valve regurgitation despite ≥3 months of guideline-directed optimal medical therapy (1). Severe secondary mitral valve regurgitation was defined as effective regurgitant orifice area of ≥0.20 cm2, regurgitant volume of ≥30 ml, or regurgitant fraction of ≥50% (1). Key exclusion criteria were primary or degenerative mitral valve regurgitation, left ventricular ejection fraction of <25%, concurrent aortic valve disease, eligibility for surgical revascularization and concurrent mitral valve surgery, concurrent pacemakers, cardiac resynchronization or defibrillator devices, advanced atrioventricular node conduction block, or severe primary tricuspid valve disease.
This single-center study was sponsored and funded by Tau PNU Medical Company, Ltd., Pusan, Korea, and was designed by the first and senior authors (Y.H. Park, M.K. Chon, and J.H. Kim).
The purpose-built mitral loop cerclage catheter system (Tau-PNU Medical Co, Ltd, Pusan, Korea) has been described previously and has 4 implanted components (Figure 1) (10). One is a cerclage tension element made of stainless steel (previously described as a “cerclage rope”). The tension element contains an arch-like coronary artery protection element. The 2 free ends of the tension element are connected through a bifid coronary sinus tricuspid bridge device (previously described as the “CSTV”) that straddles and protects the septal tricuspid leaflet and coronary conduction system. The bridge extends to the left subclavian vein where it maintains tension. An adjustable extravascular lock connects the tension element and the bridge subcutaneously in the left subclavicular fossa. The lock allows post-procedure readjustment of tension during echocardiography, if desired.

To ease targeting and snaring of the guidewire traversing the interventricular septum from the anterior interventricular vein into the right ventricle, a homemade transfemoral target capture device was prepared using a Wallstent system (18 × 60 mm, Boston Scientific, Marlborough, Massachusetts). The distal tip of the Wallstent was sutured to its delivery catheter, and the Wallstent delivery catheter was placed in the right ventricular outflow tract (RVOT) in tandem with a loop snare (Amplatzer Gooseneck 6-F, Medtronic, Minneapolis, Minnesota) prepositioned around its shaft. Configured in this way, the Wallstent serves as an over-the-wire RVOT snare (Figure 2B, Online Video 1).

Mitral loop cerclage procedure overview.
Under moderate sedation (n = 3) or general anesthesia (n = 2), 19-F × 15-cm introducer sheaths (Oscor, Palm Harbor, Florida) were placed both in the left subclavian vein (via a pacemaker-like pocket) and a femoral vein. This allowed the operator to stand at the right groin. Transesophageal echocardiography (TEE) or transthoracic echocardiography was used under anesthesia or sedation, respectively, to adjust tension interactively to reduce MR. Heparin was administered to achieve an activated clotting time of >300 s. A balloon-tip coronary sinus guiding catheter (Cello, Medtronic) was placed from the left subclavian vein into the great cardiac vein and a pressurized contrast venogram performed. Through the coronary sinus guide, a dual-lumen 0.014-inch microcatheter (Crusade, Kaneka Medix, Osaka, Japan) was positioned in the basal septal perforator coronary vein over a soft 0.014-inch guidewire (Whisper, Abbott, Chicago, Illinois) and then used to direct a stiff-tip 0.014-inch peripheral guidewire (Astato XS 20, Asahi, Japan) to traverse the interventricular septum into the RVOT (Figure 2A). A transfemoral balloon wedge end hole catheter was advanced across the major tricuspid orifice into the pulmonary artery and then used to exchange for the Wallstent/snare combination in the RVOT to serve as a target and capture system (Figure 2B). Once inside the RVOT, the traversing guidewire was snared and externalized through the femoral vein. The tension element was connected using heat-shrink tubing (polyether block amide, Cobalt Polymers, Cloverdale, California) to the guidewire and then pulled through the coronary sinus and interventricular septum into position (Figure 2C). The distal tip of this guidewire was transferred from the femoral to the subclavian sheath using a loop snare. Next the bifid coronary sinus tricuspid valve bridge device was advanced over the 2 free ends of the tension element. Diagnostic coronary arteriography allowed fine positioning of the incorporated coronary artery protection element (Figure 2D). Tension was applied interactively during transthoracic echocardiography or TEE to achieve the intended reduction in mitral annular dimension and mitral valve regurgitation (Figure 2E). Finally, the tension was locked in the left subclavicular pocket and the skin incision closed (Figure 2F).
Imaging was performed at baseline, 1, 3, and 6 months after mitral loop cerclage. Contrast-enhanced gated cardiac computed tomography (CT) used a 128-detector dual-source system (Somatom Definition Flash, Siemens Healthineers, Erlangen, Germany). Chamber volumes measured using semiautomated contours on a dedicated CT workstation (Aquarius iNtuition, TeraRecon Inc., Foster City, California).
Echocardiographic parameters were recorded according to guidelines (11) by experienced sonographers with a transthoracic echocardiography system using an iE33 ultrasound system equipped with S5-1 transducer (Philips Medical Systems, Andover, Massachusetts). Tricuspid regurgitation was graded integrating multiple parameters according to American Heart Association/American College of Cardiology guidelines (1).
Mitral loop cerclage used transthoracic echocardiography or TEE and concurrent fluoroscopic coronary arteriography to guide positioning of the coronary artery protection element and measure annular dimensions and mitral regurgitation during interactive application of tension.
The primary efficacy endpoint was change in mitral regurgitation severity after 1 month follow up. The primary safety endpoint was freedom from major adverse cardiac events after 1 month, defined as death, myocardial infarction, cardiac tamponade, device-related cardiac surgery, stroke, and new conduction disorder requiring permanent pacing. Other adverse events are classified according to the Second Valve Academic Research Consortium guidelines (12).
Additional outcome measures at 1 and 6 months include: 1) change of mitral regurgitation severity by regurgitant volume and effective regurgitant orifice; 2) change in mitral annulus geometry (septal lateral dimension); 3) change in mitral valve regurgitation; 4) change in left ventricle volumes; 5) change in New York Heart Association heart failure symptom classification; 6) procedural technical success rate; 7) serious adverse events; and 8) major adverse cardiac events.
Eight patients were screened. Three were excluded because of unwillingness to participate in one, clinical deterioration requiring heart transplantation in another, and spontaneous improvement after medical treatment in the third.
Five subjects underwent attempted mitral loop cerclage. Baseline characteristics, procedure success, and complications are detailed in Table 1. All patients had marked LV enlargement (Figure 3), but 2 had overall preserved LV systolic function. The procedure was successful in 4 of the 5 attempts. It was aborted in 1 subject who had atypical coronary venous anatomy. In retrospect, baseline CT angiography identified a suitable septal perforator vein—not attempted—that arose from an anterolateral branch (Figure 4). Dual antiplatelet agents (aspirin 100 mg and clopidogrel 75 mg) were used for ≥3 months in subjects after successful mitral loop cerclage (Table 2).
Left ventricular end-systolic (LVESV) (A), end-diastolic (LVEDV) (B), ejection fraction (EF) (C), and left atrial (LA) volumes (D) all improve over time, suggesting reverse remodeling. Data are presented as in Figure 5.
(A) A good septal vein in Patient #1. (B) A less suitable septal vein in Patient #2.
Procedures were performed using moderate sedation and transthoracic echocardiographic guidance in 3 and general anesthesia and TEE in 2. The total fluoroscopy time was 79 ± 20 min, time required to cross the interventricular septum with a guidewire was 43 ± 35 min, and the total procedure time was 169 ± 40 min.
Mitral loop cerclage tension was applied interactively during echocardiography. Progressive tension application consistently reduced mitral regurgitation to a minimum; further tension exacerbated mitral regurgitation in the 2 subjects. The lock device was applied to fix the tension associated with minimum mitral regurgitation.
Tables 3 and 4 and Figures 3, 5, 6, and 7 show echocardiographic and CT findings during the 6-month follow-up period. Mitral loop cerclage significantly reduced annular dimension. The post-procedure septal lateral dimension was reduced from 44.2 ± 5.2 mm to 37.9 ± 4.1 mm (average 14.2%) by echocardiography.

(C and D) Multiplanar reformatted computed tomography (CT) shows left atrium in diastole before and after mitral loop cerclage. (E and F) Surface rendered CT shows positioning of arch-like coronary artery protection element at baseline and 6 months (arrows = compromised small branch).
Mitral loop cerclage imparted a sustained reduction in mitral valve regurgitation (Figure 5). Both regurgitant volume and effective regurgitant orifice area decreased immediately and continued to decrease during the 6-month follow-up. After 6 months, regurgitant volume and effective regurgitant orifice area reduced about 66% and 76%, respectively (Figure 6). Mitral loop cerclage imparted a significant reduction in left atrial and both systolic and diastolic left ventricular chamber size (Figures 3 and 7), decreasing an average 34% (left atrium), 31% (LV end-diastolic), and 39% (LV end-systolic) after 6 months. Accordingly, the LV ejection fraction did not deteriorate (48.1 ± 14.5% to 55.2 ± 14.9%) (Figure 3). In addition, mitral loop cerclage was associated with a significant and sustained reduction in tricuspid regurgitation (Table 3).
Mitral loop cerclage temporally corresponded with restoration of sinus rhythm in this early feasibility study. Two subjects with persistent and permanent atrial fibrillation at baseline spontaneously reverted to sinus rhythm immediately and 3 months, respectively, after mitral loop cerclage. Figure 8 shows the return of atrial mechanical contraction.
Baseline (A and C) and 3 and 6 months (B and D) pulse-wave Doppler shows atrial fibrillation followed by restoration of sinus rhythm and atrial contraction after mitral loop cerclage in Patient #3 (A and B) and Patient #4 (C and D).
One additional subject had reported irregular tachypalpitation at baseline. She had brief paroxysmal atrial fibrillation and identical tachypalpitation 1 week after the procedure. Neither atrial fibrillation nor tachypalpitation recurred during the 6-month follow-up.
The primary safety endpoint of freedom from major adverse cardiac events was met in 4 of the 5 subjects (80%). One subject experienced a focal myocardial infarction (akinetic area was 1.6% of LV mass assessed by CT) related to unrecognized entrapment of a small obtuse marginal branch (Figures 7E and 7F).
No subject experienced atrioventricular block. One subject developed new right bundle branch block attributed to traction against the interventricular septum from the coronary sinus tricuspid valve bridge device. This subject reverted from atrial fibrillation to sinus rhythm at the 3-month follow-up. In this subject, CT showed the right ventricular limb of the coronary sinus tricuspid valve bridge device to be too short, and as a result the tension element was tightly apposed to the interventricular septum.
In 1 subject, the coronary sinus tricuspid valve bridge device spontaneously migrated on post-procedure day 2 and caused recurrent mitral valve regurgitation. The subclavicular pocket was opened and tension reapplied with mitigation of mitral valve regurgitation.
One subject, who was in cardiogenic shock at baseline requiring mechanical circulatory support, and who had a severely dilated left ventricle (left ventricular end-diastolic dimension of 84 mm) died of refractory heart failure at 6 weeks after the procedure, and he did not undergo autopsy.
Other procedure-related adverse events include sustained Valve Academic Research Consortium-2 acute kidney injury grade 2 in a subject who required multiple iodine contrast exposures, and a small catheter-induced retrograde coronary sinus dissection that had no clinical sequelae. There were no infections.
This was the first human application of transcatheter mitral loop cerclage annuloplasty. The procedure was successful in 4 of 5 subjects and aborted in 1 of 5 because of unsuitable coronary vein anatomy. Mitral loop cerclage reduced immediate and progressive 6-month reduction of mitral valve regurgitation, and favorable (“reverse”) remodeling of the left atrial and left ventricular chamber volumes. Remarkably, mitral loop cerclage seemed also to induce electrical remodeling of the atria manifest as spontaneous reversion so sinus rhythm among the 3 subjects with paroxysmal, persistent, and permanent atrial fibrillation, respectively.
Complications were few, and included otherwise clinically inconsequential failure to cross the interventricular septum in 1 subject with seemingly unsuitable coronary vein anatomy. Another experienced a small procedural myocardial infarction from an unrecognized small branch coronary occlusion. Another subject, who experienced cardiogenic shock at baseline, died of intractable heart failure after 6 weeks, despite a technically successful mitral loop cerclage procedure.
Mitral loop cerclage accomplished the immediate goal of reducing mitral annular dimensions, for example, the septal-lateral diameter, by 14%. Later reverse remodeling may contribute to further MR reduction. This compares favorably with 6% achieved using Mitralign transcatheter annular plication (Mitralign, Tewksbury, Massachusetts) (13), and Coapsys (Myocor, Inc., Maple Grove, Minnesota), 16% (14). These geometric changes are less pronounced than after surgical ring annuloplasty. Moreover, our subjects had greater baseline LV dimensions (7.5 ± 0.8 cm) compared with 6.3 ± 0.9 cm (Mitralign) and 6.1 ± 0.6 cm (Cardioband, Valtech, Or Yehuda, Israel); greater chamber dilation predicts poorer response to surgical annuloplasty (15).
Most interesting was the mechanical remodeling detected even in this small cohort. Mitral loop cerclage, by virtue of circumferential application of tension and of discordant annular and cerclage planes, seems to reduce cardiac dimensions even early, as it did in animals (9). In experimental animals with ischemic mitral regurgitation, undersized Paneth mitral annuloplasty sufficient to abolish mitral regurgitation led to reduced global and regional LV dimensions and modestly increased end-systolic elastance (16). In patients undergoing undersized surgical mitral annuloplasty for secondary mitral regurgitation, both pre-operative and post-operative global end-systolic myocardial wall stress predicted clinical improvement, suggesting that reduced end-systolic stress achieved by annuloplasty may contribute to reverse remodeling (17), and may interrupt the vicious cycle of mitral regurgitation and progressive ventricular dysfunction. Remarkably, there was also a suggestion in our experience of electrical remodeling (reversion of atrial fibrillation to sinus rhythm in 2 subjects), as a possible functional correlate of the geometric remodeling (18).
Mitral loop cerclage addresses shortcomings of other coronary sinus annuloplasty approaches, also known as “indirect” annuloplasty. First, our subjects may not have been eligible for the only marketed coronary sinus annuloplasty device (Carillon Mitral Contour, Cardiac Dimensions, Inc., Kirkland, Washington) because of likely compression of major coronary artery branches underneath the coronary sinus. In the largest published experience using that device, 17 of 53 subjects were excluded because of unsuitable anatomy (19). Second, mitral loop cerclage delivers annular tension circumferentially along a plane slightly discordant from the mitral annulus (Figure 1D) in a way that may compensate for coronary sinus anatomy running high along the left atrial free wall (9). By comparison, the planar relations of the compressive vectors seem to be different between the ARTO device (MVRX, Inc., Belmont, California) (20) and cerclage because cerclage pulls against the interventricular septum, whereas ARTO pulls against the interatrial septum. Accordingly, and similar to mitral loop cerclage, the investigational Coapsys device accomplished mid or basal extrinsic compression of the left ventricle, and reduced or abolished mitral regurgitation with an average septal-lateral reduction magnitude of 16% (14). We observed that cerclage enhanced leaflet coaptation in our small study (Figures 6A and 6B). Nonsurgical tension readjustment, as in subject 3, seemed to be a useful and desirable feature.
Annuloplasty including cerclage may have value as an adjunct to mitral leaflet repair. Standalone surgical edge-to-edge leaflet repair has shown unsatisfactory long-term results (21). Both Carrilon (22) and Cardioband (23) transcatheter annuloplasty devices been used to treat recurrent mitral regurgitation after Mitraclip (Abbott) procedures. Moreover, annuloplasty such as cerclage may provide a useful “landing zone” to implant transcatheter valves in native mitral valve disease. These concepts warrant further investigation.
Limitations of this study include the small sample size of an early feasibility investigation, absence of a matching control cohort, and only a 6-month follow-up. Limitations of standalone annuloplasty in general includes high recurrence rates of secondary mitral regurgitation (24) and no direct therapy of concurrent subvalvular pathology, such as leaflet tethering. That said, we witnessed reverse remodeling even in this small study that effectively reduced leaflet tethering in follow-up.
In this small feasibility study, mitral loop cerclage annuloplasty was successful in 4 of 5 attempts, reduced mitral regurgitation severity, and caused reverse geometric and possible electrical remodeling. Further clinical evaluation is warranted.
WHAT IS KNOWN? Secondary mitral regurgitation is caused by annular dilation and leaflet traction causing malcoaptation. Mitral cerclage annuloplasty is a transcatheter technique that applies circumferential tension around the mitral annulus.
WHAT IS NEW? In this first-in-human application of mitral loop cerclage annuloplasty, mitral annular geometry was reduced, mitral regurgitation reduced, and during a 6-month follow-up there was evidence of reverse remodeling and restoration of sinus rhythm.
WHAT IS NEXT? Additional clinical experience will provide further insight into the safety, value, and mechanism of benefit of mitral loop cerclage annuloplasty.

Mike flies back to Australia today and it has been brilliant to see Teigh and him so excited to see each other again after 7 months. They were able to catch up as if they had never been apart, play the fool as they used to and of course go riding together again. Once again I left my apron behind and took the boys off to Dirt Bronco with their KTMs and all their gear and they had an awesome time at the track. Even standing in clouds of dust to take photos of them riding was great fun for me as it was a pleasure to watch these 2 friends having the time of their lives on their bikes.
Mike loves to eat with our family and again it was a pleasure to have him at our dinner table as his antics and stories are something we have really missed since he left for Australia. We won’t forget your joy Mike at eating the creme-caramel and the crazy cake pop you popped on top of it and you now officially hold the record for the fastest cupcake eater I have ever seen – witnessed when you devoured these bike cupcakes I made for you and Teigh. Have a safe trip home and see you on your next visit!
Mike has to have the naughtiest face I have ever seen! Such a nice guy – our boys are so entertained by him and will miss him.
So true Michelle and his antics always have everyone around him smiling. He said he can’t wait till December to be back again!

How to use Word Roots to Upgrade your Vocab Power?
Word Roots are nothing else but the basic building blocks of words. Essentially you can break down every word into its constituent parts. These parts are stand for a certain meaning and when multiple parts are combined to a form a word, we have a new word with a new meaning. Essentially word roots are like the game of Lego. You can combine different building blocks in Lego to make a structure; similarly, you combine different word roots to arrive at the meaning of words.
Where do these Word Roots come from?
English is an amazing language: it has literally borrowed from every language on the planet and build words these assimilations from different languages. The two most common language sources for word roots in English are Greek and Latin. The reason for this is also obvious. These were the original languages of communication in the Western world and the foundation of English is built on these languages.
Bibliotics: Examination or analysis of manuscripts in order to verify or authenticate the source of origin.
Bibliographer: A learned person who is an expert in compiling bibliography.
Bibliopolists: A monger of rare second hand books which are usually rare.
Bibliolatries: Extreme inclination and likings to books especially Bible.
Bibliographic: A compilation of various information such as edition, authorship, issue date and various such information.
Bibliomaniacs: A person who has a strong desire and extreme fondness to collect books.
Bibliolatrous: Having faithful attachment to books, especially extreme devotion to Bible.
Bibliotheca: Collection of books or library.
As you can see from the example above, multiple words have been based on a single word root.
What is the power of Word Roots?
You can see from the example above that Word Roots possess the ability to teach you multiple words using a single source or association. Effectively, roots help you learn words related to a common theme and narrative. By learning the root of a particular word, you not only learn the word but also open up the possibility of learning multiple words using the same word root. This is the true power of word roots. If you use this well, you can build your vocabulary in the quickest possible time.
How should you learn using Word Roots?
Well, we have this problem sorted for you with our Word Roots section. In this section, we list word roots with their meaning and origin. Along with this, each word root article highlights the common words based on that particular root. You can use this section to expand your vocabulary and build on your word root knowledge.

Prepared by LIA's Chief Economist Dr. Pearl M. Kamer, the report measures the economic impact of the Island’s educational sector, offering an optimistic outlook of its potential to boost our region’s economic expansion.
According to its findings, the educational sector, including primary, secondary and postsecondary schools, injects $17.4 billion annually, either directly or indirectly, into Long Island’s economy, amounting to nearly one-quarter of Long Island's gross regional product of about $137 billion.
As we emerge from what Kamer terms a “transformational” recession into a knowledge-based economy, the findings further indicate that educators on Long Island face the challenge of equipping students to meet new demands of higher achievement. If successful, Kamer pointed out, the Island will be poised to create well-paying jobs that will enhance the region’s economic development.
LIA President Kevin S. Law notes that most jobs created in the coming decade will require at least some post-secondary education and that student achievement in primary and secondary grades must be improved in order to ensure college success.
Findings issued on January 31, 2013 by The Long Island Regional Advisory Council on Higher Education, certainly bear that out. They indicate that New York's four-year high school graduation rate is 74% overall. However, the percent of students graduating that are college and career ready is significantly lower.
Despite the fact that U.S. News & World Report last year ranked four L.I. schools among the top 100 in the nation in preparing their students for college success, the Advisory Council’s findings show that while the high school graduation rate for Nassau County is 88 percent, only 56 percent of students are college and career ready at graduation; and in Suffolk County, where the graduation rate is 87 percent, only 48 percent of students are college and career ready at graduation.
Furthermore, the percentage of new students needing remediation at Suffolk County Community College rose from 48.7% in fall 2002 to 61.3% this past fall. Data compiled by the College also shows that the more remedial courses students take, the less likely they are to graduate.
At Nassau Community College, the percentage of students attending college for the first time who required remediation was between 71% and 72% for fall 2008 through fall 2011.
The LIA supports a longer school day and a longer school year as measures to bolster primary and secondary grade achievement, pointing out that while children in the U.S. spend only 30 hours per week in school, they spend an average of 53 hours per week using electronic media.
LIA also supports Career Academies and Early College High School, initiatives that would incorporate college courses into high school curriculum in order to improve student outcomes.
Statistics clearly indicate that if we are going to meet the challenge of preparing our young people to succeed in those businesses by using “college and university resources in pursuit of regional economic development,” as the LIA proposes, we are going to have to target primary and secondary educational outcomes in our schools, working to fundamentally and significantly improve them.

I love afternoon naps. I mean really LOVE them. I love catching a quick 40 winks while the momma gets din din ready. It is when the food smells enter your dreams and make them better.
The thing is... I don't like falling asleep alone. I like to have my belly rubbed as I fall asleep. And getting the momma to stop doing her "doings" long enough to rub my belly so I can nap is almost impossible. The woman does not understand how important forty winks are. And THEY ARE IMPORTANT! It is during my forty winks that I get the best ideas.
And, if you catch a ray of sun and fall asleep in that ray of sun. you get golden dreams!
Now you know who is a great napper? Daddy. Dowi. Even the Adam. But momma.... nop.
But the upside to OCD momma are those food smells I mentioned before.
There you are, sleeping. That soft pillow, that comfortable sofa, that ray of sun, all hugging you into surrender to sleep. And from that deep sleep, your nose catches a whiff. Oh yuh. A single note at first. Mhhh, duck. Mhhh... liver? ohhhh I smell duck gizzards. Sweet potato... delicious... Lamb, grilled... yum.
And in my dreams I am a princess at a long table surrounded by servants and being spoon fed the most delectable royal meal.
I am reclining on fat comfy pillows, all around me a hubbub of activity. Everyone doing for me!.
All the benefits of Sadie Sadie without the liabilities of married lady!
If my mouth did not leak so much, I would mind waking up. But then , when my mouth starts leaking... my belly starts grumbling and who can sleep with that racket going on?
Just the same, forty winks on any given afternoon are AWESOME! Try it.
I wish you golden dreams and yummy wake ups!

Alibaba will continueto take the top spot of retail e-commerce sales with 58.2% share of the marketin China, but facing increasing competition, according to the latest report byeMarketer. eMarketer has released its forecast ranking of the top 10ecommerce retailers in China, which highlighted that Alibaba will continue todominate the e-commerce market, followed by JD.com with 16.3% share.
Over the past fewyears, the dynamic marketplace in China has welcomed some new players that areoffering branded products, which are popular among consumers. The reportreveals that the two giants are facing soaring competition from smaller, morespecialist players which can offer “authentic” goods.
Pinduoduo, or PDD, aGroupon-style retailer that mixes in social buying, will secure the third placebehind Alibaba and JD.com this year with a 5.2% share. Started by a formerGoogle engineer in 2015, PDD allows consumers to buy direct from wholesalersand factories at competitive prices. A key factor in PDD’s success to date isthat it has targeted Tier 3 and Tier 4 cites in China, thus attracting newprice-conscious e-commerce customers.
“China’s smaller citiessuch as Tier 3, Tier 4 and lower are less urbanized than Tiers 1 and 2, butthey are growing rapidly in ecommerce participation as digital buyers in thosecities begin to seek out the benefits of more affordable yet genuine productsonline,” said Monica Peart, eMarketer’s senior director of forecasting.
She added, “Smallere-commerce players such as relative newcomer Pinduoduo have benefited from thistrend as buyers in lower-tier cities have been less tolerant of the higherprices found on large players such as Alibaba and JD.com, but they are quick toseize upon the relative deals found on Pinduoduo’s platform,”she said.
There are othercompetitors such as electronics retailer Suning and online discount fashionretailer Vipshop, which will account for nearly 2% and 1.8% of retaile-commerce sales respectively, report stated.
Suning has beenexploring multichannel integration over the past few years. This approach hasproved profitable so far, while Vipshop benefits from the flash sales andpartnership with Tencent and JD.com.

I chose Hearty Design because they sent me along an idea of what they had in mind. Tey was prompt and adhered to the timeline which was one day. They have ideas that were crisp and clear and they was open to my suggestions. They sent me designs in multiple colours and that are ready to use.
We are a charity and were in need out updating our publicity material. We attended a working party called Eight Hours Over Programme. There we were fortunate enough to meet Adela who set about providing us with new publicity material which has improved our profile enabling our charity to become more visible. We would strongly recommend Adela if you are looking to improve the profile of your company. She has excellent creative skills and is both professional and reliable when meeting deadlines. We will definitely be contacting Adela in future.
I was lucky enough to see Adela discovering her passion for graphic design and see her growing and constantly searching for new challenges. Only that this time she challenged me to update my blog’s logo. I had nothing particular in mind, since changing my logo wasn’t quite my goal. Being friends, she knew my personality and managed to create a simple, yet elegant logo that captured both my personality and my blog’s image. Proud I accepted her challenge.
Adrian was great. He understood what I wanted and delivered work very quickly- he’s also just a nice and helpful freelancer to work with. Thumbs up!
Adrian was very helpful, he made many copies and every change I requested he did. His communication was great and he finished the project quickly.
You can get a lot of graphic design agencies to create logos. But most aren’t bringing any creative thought process to a project. Well Hearty is totally different. Hearty brings creative insight and perspective to a project. They really understands the creative process. I’ll definitely be using them again!
I was just starting my make-up business idea on the internet. I was looking all day and all night on the internet, thinking that I will find something nice or maybe somebody to help me with my logo. Unfortunately, I didn’t found anything and I dropped my searching. Later on, Adela, shows up from nowhere. She proposed to help me with my logo. She made it very fast and not only. She also created my cover and my business card. I couldn’t wish more. She made exaclty was I looking for.
Crisp and timely work, adhering to our requirements. Thank you!
I had the privilege to be Marketing Manager on a european project – SIMPRACT 2015. I can say that I’m proud of my entire team, but most I was impressed by my team mate, Adela, her devotion and interest was unmatched. She worked on all the marketing materials: flyers, roll-ups, covers, booklets, logos, etc. Her professionalism made us won a prize at the final stage of the project. I want to thank and congratulate you for your constant activity inside the marketing department. You are very energetic, conscious and organised and you encouraged us throughout the project. Adela, what can I say, besides what you already demonstrated? You are ambitious and you strive for perfection. I know for sure that all the companies wants a designer like you. I wish you stay forever the same.
Hearty Design was a joy to work with. They were proactive, sending in the first phase of the project at least a dozen sample logos to start the project. They was very timely, responsive and professional. Communication was excellent. I will definitely be working with Hearty Design again in the near future!
I was unable to find the best logo idea for Boemia. I worked on few sketches, but I wasn’t pleased with them. A luckily fact made me to find my ideal logo and later on my business cards. The design exceeded my expectations. This fact was possible with a creative mind, an elegant esthetic sense and with an imagination that has no limits. Thanks, Adela, for your contribution towards my dream.

Labouring jobs, particularly temp labouring jobs, are a great way to earn a little extra money, gain valuable experience and hone your skills, all within your busy schedule. However, sometimes it can be difficult to stand out amongst all the other candidates and get your foot in the door. In this blog post, we have compiled a short list of our top tips to help you get noticed and land that job!
When you're applying for a particular labourer position, it is important that you display how the skill sets you possess are best suited to the role that is being offered, as well as how you would prove to be an asset to the company as a whole. For example, if you're going after a forklift driver position, aside from all the formal requirements, such as a forklift licence, White Card and PPE, it is important that you include terms in your application that were used in the job description, as well as from the company's mission statement, values, etc. This will help to align you with the role, as well as the company's image. Doing your research helps to make sure that you are targeting a position that is right for you so that your application is relevant to the employer and doesn't just get lost in the pile.
Another way to rise to the top is to showcase the unique skills and attributes you possess that other candidates may not display. This may be additional qualifications, such as first aid training, relevant experience in the industry, apprenticeships, TAFE certificates and so on. The key is to display the qualifications, skills and attributes that are less common, but still relevant and will complement the labour role you are applying for. Also, according to Entrpreneur.com employers are also placing greater value on soft skills. 77% of employers that participated in a CareerBuilder survey stated that they wanted and were drawn towards potential employees who possessed a range of soft skills, such as, problem solving skills, initiative, ability to work in a team, and so on.
To effectively cut through the crowd and gain a position as a labourer, you can also use the services of a labour hire/recruitment agency. These companies can help connect you directly with a job that is best suited to your skills and qualifications. Using a labour hire/recruitment agency also has the added advantage of adding credibility to your application, as these agencies know what the employers are looking for, and aim to ensure that the candidate that they are putting forth will fulfill the needs of the position.

Is INVISIBRA a New Generation Seamless Bra?
What are your concerns about wearing an adhesive bra? Share your doubts and commeants!
We’ve all experienced the dreaded conundrum of figuring out what bra to wear with that backless dress or slinky gown. Exposed bra back bands can turn your elegant evening wear from sophisticated and classy to grungy chic at best. However, wearing an adhesive bra is often saved as a last resort; from uncomfortable designs to poor quality sticking, not to meantion looking somewhat less aesthetically appealing, the adhesive bra has definitely earned itself a bad reputation.
Thanks to designer Lavalia, there is now a new and improved seamless bra on the market. The INVISIBRA is the latest invention in the world of the adhesive bras. The bras come in a variety of sizes and cute designs, from sassy leopard prints to bras with feminine lace overlays. This new backless and strapless bra is made from a unique, high grade silicone that conforms to your breasts, providing the shaping and support that most other adhesive bras lack. According to its manufacturers, the secret of the bra lies in the special front clasp.
Unlike other adhesive bras, the INVISIBRA boasts the ability to enhance your cleavage and give you that push-up style boost, without any straps or back. Made with a special adhesive imported from Germany, the bra can be hand washed up to 100 times, and redevelops its stickiness with each wash for repeated use and wear. Since its debut, the new bra has been winning over women everywhere. Some previously skeptical wearers have even become complete converts after trying out these adhesive cups. According to some ladies, this new bra is so comfortable, there’s no need to save it for special occasions only, avoid straps, backs and seams everyday. Whether it’s a wedding, party or a normal day at work, the INVISIBRA will keep you feeling supported and looking stunning.

It's yet another sign of the times that, these days, there's no better Vatican leaker than the Secretary of State, himself.
In an interview with the Turinese La Stampa published at the weekend, Cardinal Tarcisio Bertone SDB announced that Benedict XVI will undo the arrangement of March 2006, when the Pontifical Councils for Interreligious Dialogue and Culture were both entrusted to a single cardinal-president (Paul Poupard), with an eye to the eventual consolidation of the two.
The department's return to its former status occurred as Catholic-Muslim dialogue is still suffering the negative effects of Benedict's Regensburg speech last September in which he appeared to equate Islam with violence.
Catholic and Muslim officials on Monday hailed the decision as a positive step that could help improve relations.
Vatican Secretary of State Cardinal Tarcisio Bertone said in Italy's La Stampa newspaper at the weekend that the Pontifical Council for Inter-religious Dialogue would again become "a separate department."
Benedict downgraded the office in March 2006 by putting it under joint presidency with the Vatican's culture ministry and removing its president, Archbishop Michael Fitzgerald, a Briton.
"This would be a very positive thing for Muslims," said a senior Muslim official active in inter-faith dialogue who asked not to be named. He said Muslims had seen the council's downgrading as a sign Benedict was not very interested in Islam.
"I think it's a great idea," said Father Tom Reese, senior fellow at Georgetown University's Woodstock Theological Center and a world-renowned Vatican expert.
In France, home to Europe's largest Muslim minority, the priest in charge of relations with Islam said the change would help him in discussions and debates with Muslims.
"This is a sign, to Muslims and people of other faiths, that the policies of Pope John Paul will continue," Father Christophe Roucou said, noting Muslims respected the late Polish-born pontiff for his pioneering openness towards other faiths.
Vatican sources said Bertone's comments meant the department would soon get its own head again.
The restoration of a full-time head at Interreligious Dialogue would likely coincide with a new president of the Pontifical Council for Culture -- Poupard is over a year beyond the mandatory retirement age of 75. Other senior curialists who've passed that mark include Cardinals Ignace Moussa I Daoud, prefect of the Congregation for the Oriental Churches, Jose Saraiva Martins CMF of the Congregation for the Causes of Saints and Sergio Sebastiani, the Holy See's economic guru.
In the coming months, however, a flood more will join them, including the Major Penitentiary Cardinal J. Francis Stafford, who turns 75 in July, Cardinals Renato Martino (Justice and Peace/Migrants and Itinerants) and Francis Arinze (Divine Worship) in November.
In 2008, the over-75 group of curial heads increases even more with the superannuations of Cardinals Javier Lozano Barragan (Health Care Workers) in January and Walter Kasper (Christian Unity) in March.

It all starts with two Fabric Interconnects. From now on known as FI’s. FI’s are based on NX-OS software. FI’s play an upmost important role, and they can be considered as the braincenter of the entire UCS platform.
Two FI’s are configured as an high-available active/active cluster. They are interconnected with 2x 1GbE, which acts as the management plane. There is no data plane between the FI’s. The first FI is configured as so called ‘Fabric A‘, and the second FI as so called ‘Fabric B‘, which can be referred to as the ‘left side’ and ‘right side’. Once they are configured you can connect uplink switches, storage devices, UCS Fabric Extenders and UCS Servers.
As you may understand, this is one of the reasons why so many network and storage device can be connected, which makes UCS highly scalable. This doesn’t neccesairly mean you have to connect your storage devices directly to the FI’s. It is still common (and probably best-practice) to uplink other switches (such as Nexus or Catalyst switches) to the FI’s. In fact, that is exactly what we do; we have an uplink with two Nexus 5548UP switches, which acts as a network and storage switch.
As described in part 1 Cisco UCS Manager runs on top of the FI’s which controls the entire compute platform. All configuration an even (remote) monitoring is done through UCS Manager. UCS Manager provides you an intuative GUI (web console), and a CLI. There is also a PowerShell Toolkit available, which can be quite useful for automation.
So for instance, if you want to make changes on one or more UCS servers, such as BIOS settings, or add a VLAN to vNICs, you use the UCS Manager GUI. You use PowerShell against UCS Manager. If you want SCOM (System Center Operations Manager) to monitor all compute devices, you let SCOM connect with UCS Manager. There is also an SCVMM Add-in available. If you want to use a KVM on physical servers, you use UCS Manager GUI. Simple and at the same time very powerfull.
Ain’t that cool or what? 😮 Of course the number of UCS servers you can connect (whether they are Blade Chassis or Rack Servers) depends on the number of Server Ports you use to connect them. You might ask, what are Server Ports? I will explain that in a moment.
NOTE: If you want to manage multiple UCS Domains in one GUI, which for instance are located in multiple datacenters; you have the option to implement UCS Central. But for this blog UCS Central is out-of-scope.
Once you have configured two or more Unified Ports on the FI’s as Server Ports you can connect UCS Blade Chassis or UCS Rack Servers. UCS Manager will automatically detect the hardware and considers it as compute resources. Those UCS based compute resources are then fully controlled and managed by UCS Manager.
The Blade Chassis we use have four 16A-2500W hot-swappable PSU’s (Power Supply Units) and eight Cooling Fans. These redundant PSU’s can be independidly configured, shutdown and put into stand-by mode. You can even put a maximum power cap (limit) to prevent you from getting above a certain power grid of your datacenter environment.
Backplane Ports: Each I/O Module has four fixed 10GbE ‘Backplane Ports’ which are directly connected to the I/O Adapters of each Blade Server. With two I/O Modules each half-with Blade Server has effectively a maximum of 8x10GbE backplane connectivity (depending on the type of I/O Adapter that is used in the Blade Server).
Fabric Ports: Each I/O Module has eight 10GbE (SFP) ‘Fabric Ports’ available that can be connected with 1x, 2x, 4x or 8x10GbE (SFP) to an FI. With two I/O Modules each Blade Chassis has effectively a 2x, 4x, 8x or 16x10GbE connection to the FI’s.
Each I/O module can be connected with 1x, 2x, 4x or 8x 10GbE SFP (per Fabric). So as mentioned, the number of Blade Chassis you can connect depends on the number of Server Ports (Fabric Ports) used to connect them. Based on workload requirements you have to decide how much bandwidth you want to have available on each Blade Chassis. Please refer to the Cisco documentation for more detailed information.
We have connected our Blade Chassis with 2x 10GbE on each Fabric, which is quite common. With both Fabrics (A and B) this results in 4x 10GbE of total bandwidth with FI’s. When needed, we can connect more Fabric Ports to increase the bandwidth. Because it is a converged infrastructure this does not require any modifications or re-configuration on the physical Blade Server. vNIC’s and vHBA’s are used on top of the connectivity.
NOTE: The Cisco UCS 5108 Blade Chassis is future-ready for 40GbE standards. But that would requires you to replace the I/O Modules and FI’s.
Our Blade Servers have no local disks, because we implemented boot from SAN. This offers so called ‘stateless computing‘. With stateless computing you have the option to move the entire configuration of a UCS servers to another server without re-installing the Operating System.
All our Blade Servers are equiped with a Cisco VIC (Virtual Interface Card) 1240 and a Cisco Port Expander for VIC 1240 (Mezzanine Adapter).
A Cisco VIC 1240 is a ‘CNA (Converged Network Adapter)‘ that supports both Ethernet and Fibre Channel (over Ethernet). A CNA allows you to create vNIC’s (virtual Network Interface Cards) and vHBA’s (virtual Host Bus Adapters). vNIC’s and vHBA’s are presented to the Operating System as PCI-Express adapters.
Personally I am a very big fan of CNA’s. Because they offer a lot of flexibility for Hyper-V Servers. As you know, a Hyper-V Cluster has a few requirements in terms of network interfaces. You need quite a few. At the same time you want to utilize certain network optimization features (such as RSS, VMQ and maybe SR-IOV) and offer failover capabilities (such as Fabric Failover and MPIO). With a CNA you can have all that, and only with a few cables.
A Cisco VIC 1240 + Port Expander allows you to create 256 vNICs/vHBA’s. And it supports many network optimization features, such as RSS (Receive Side Scaling), VMQ (Virtual Machine Queuing) and SR-IOV (Single I/O Root-Virtualization). You might ask, why on earth do you need 256 vNIC’s? Well, there are scenario’s where this is usefull. For example, in VDI solutions where you want each VDI session to have its own vmNIC with SR-IOV enabled. And these 256 also define the maximum number of VMQ queues that are avaialable per Blade Server. When you configure eight vNICs you still have 248 queues available for VMQ. You can spread those queues across the vNICs that have a vSwitch configured. I am not going into detail about VMQ right now, but it is certainly a winner.
This Rack Server functions as our Backup Server, hosting SCDPM (System Center Data Protection Manager). There are two enclosures available; a 12 LFF (Large Form Factor) or 24 SFF (Small Form Factor). The M3L is the LFF version.
A C-Series server can operate in either ‘Standalone Mode‘ or ‘UCS Domain Mode‘. In Standalone Mode the Rack Server is managed by the built-in software, known as the ‘CIMC (Cisco Integrated Management Controller)‘. In UCS Domain Mode the Rack Server is fully integrated into the UCS Domain, the CIMC does not manage the server anymore. Instead it is managed by UCS Manager. And you can take advantage of all Cisco UCS features; like creating vNIC’s/vHBA’s, Fabric Failover, moving or modifying Service Profiles and much more.
As you can imagine, UCS Domain Mode is the preferred option because it offers much more flexiblity. Our Rack Server is operating in UCS Domain Mode. The Service Profile configuration is not really special, just a bunch of disks and one vNIC with Fabric Failover enabled.
Our UCS Rack Server is equiped with a Cisco VIC (Virtual Interface Card) 1225. Its a PCI-Express 16x adapter, with two 10Gb (SFP) Unified Ports. These Unified Ports can be configured as Ethernet or Fibre Channel, and it supports FCoE. A VIC 1225 supports 256 vNIC’s/vHBA’s.
NOTE: We have connected the VIC directly to the FI’s, one port to each Fabric. In the past it would require a Fabric Extender to connect a C-Series Rack Server, like a Blade Server has an I/O Module (Fabric Extender). But since UCS software version 2.2 a feature called ‘UCS Direct Connect‘ is supported, which allows you to directly connect a C-Series Rack Server to the FI’s.
Cisco UCS plays a big part in terms of networking for the compute platform. But you still need more network devices to implement an entire environment, like a L3 switch and a firewall.
As mentioned, although the FI’s can do local L2 switching, it is certainly not a switch. The FI’s are part of the compute system, that have to connect with your LAN (Local Area Network) and SAN (Storage Area Network). It is not uncommon to use separate switches, one for your LAN and one for your SAN. A Cisco FlexPod reference architecture includes two datacenter switches (from the Nexus family) that are used for both LAN and SAN. Of course you can select any type/model that suits your requirements.
As part of a Cisco FlexPod reference architecture we have implemented two Cisco Nexus 5548UP Switches. Nexus switches are based on NX-OS software. These switches are very powerfull and we use them as Access Switches for both LAN and SAN.
A Cisco Nexus 5548UP has 32 Unified Ports (SFP) and one expansion slot. Each Unified Port can be individually configured to support line-rate, low-latency, lossless, 1/10Gb Ethernet, 2/4/8Gb Fibre Channel (FC) or 10Gb Fibre Channel over Ethernet (FCoE). Whatever the usage, each port is either configured as Ethernet or Fibre Channel. There is a management plane and data plane between the switches. We have connected our Fabric Interconnects, Core Switches and NetApp Storage Controllers to our Access Switches.
Unlike the Catalyst family, the Nexus family switches are not stackable. They operate as active/active but standalone switches, each with its own configuration. Although they support ‘vPC’s (virtual Port-Channels)‘ and other advanced features which make them very suitable.
When I was desiging our infrastructure, we thought about using the Nexus switches as L3 Core Switches. But there as some reasons why we finally decided to use Cisco Catalyst switches instead. By default they are Layer 2 switches. We had the option to add a so called ‘Doughter Card‘ with a software license, which upgrades it to a Layer 3 switch. But we also needed VRF support. This required an additional license. This would make them much more expensive. And all Unified Ports are 10Gb (SFP). Which of course is nice, but we needed to connect multiple 1GbE (RJ45) network devices; like our firewall and many management interfaces. You need an SFP module for each RJ45 cable. This would make the price per port costly. We were also thinking about DCI (Data Center Interconnect) in the near future. That might require other L3 switches at a later stage. You cannot re-use a daughter card without the switch itself. So we finally decided to implement Cisco Catalyst switches (with 10GbE uplink ports) as our L3 Core Switches. So when one day we need to migrate those L3 switches, they are easly replaceable and reusable.
NOTE: Please keep in mind this may not be the case for everybody, this is just a typical decision that fits our need.
We have implemented two Cisco Catalyst 3850-24T-E Switches. Catalyst switches are based on IOS software. We use those switches as Core Switches for our LAN.
A Catalyst Catalyst 3850-24T-E has 24x 1GbE (RJ45) and 4x 10GbE (SFP) ports. We use the 1GbE ports for connectivity with our firewalls, private lines and management interfaces. And we use the 10GbE ports for uplink connectivity with our Access Switches (Nexus).
The Core Switches are stacked using Cisco StackWise technology. They act as a single switch, with a single hostname and IOS configuration. This provides many benifits and significantly simplifies the configuration.
We have specifically chosen for the E software version, which supports L3 switching with IP Services. IP Services supports a feature called ‘VRF (Virtual Routing Forwarding)‘. We use VRF for Secure Multi-Tenancy. You might ask, what is VRF? I will explain VRF in part 3.
We have implemented two Cisco ASA 5512-X firewalls. These firewalls are based on IOS software. We use them as our Front-end Firewalls.
These firewalls are security appliances, that supports three high-availability modes. Our security appliances are configured in so called ‘Multiple Context Mode‘. With Multiple Context Mode you can partition the appliances into multiple virtual firewall instances, known as ‘Security Contexts‘. Each security context is an independent device, with its own security policy, network interfaces, and administrators. Although Multiple Context Mode is described as an active/active solution, in reality it is an active/passive solution using load distribution, not load balancing. Whereas each security context runs active on one appliance and passive on the other appliance. So for example, when you host three security contexts, you can have two active on the first appliance, and one active on the second appliance. Of course with failover capabilities between the appliances.
Storage is not my main expertise. And because the length of this blog, I don’t want to go into detail about the storage.
i deployed a solution very similar few months back and i read your blog to have a feel before that.
my design was very similar to yours in infrastructure (except for the asa and my core was cat 4500) while the OS was similar, hyper v with fail-over clustering with scvmm and ucs director integrating with all the devices.
Thanks. Good to hear your are enthausastic about it. Indeed it is greate hardware.
I am new to UCS. I have tried number of videos and Documents to make good understanding with UCS, but all in vain. Even with Cisco documents I am not able to understand why we are using UCS. But after doing lot of struggle your Blog come to rescue me. Its completely thoroughly and give you complete understanding what purpose of What. Thanks Boudewijn Plomp for writing such wonderful information.
can i use a brocade san switch and a cisco ethernet switch separately connected to FI or should i use just Nexus ?
I haven’t tried it myself. But I cannot imagine why that shouldn’t work. Although I’m not sure if it is supported.

When deciding to undertake further studies, the question on how to maintain a healthy work/life/study balance is one of the biggest factors to consider. Mark Wagenaar is an SAE Master of Creative Industries student and he talks to us about how he navigates studying online while running his own business Storyfully media.
Why did you decide to study a Master of Creative Industries with SAE?
After a long and illustrious career of over 30 years in various corporate senior IT & finance positions, I decided that 2018 would be the year for a complete seachange. Firstly, I started working for myself extending what was once a passionate hobby in photography and videography to a full time business called Storyfully Media.
For me it was all about genuine visual storytelling. I've always been a creative and in some respects wish that I'd pursued that area when I was much younger, so as a word of advice, follow your dreams and your passion especially if you're a creative… or if you really want to be an accountant that's fine too, I won't hold it against you!!
Being self-employed I needed to find ways to be motivated to really embrace my business goals and embarking on some study and ensuring the grey matter remained challenged was going to be an important part of that focus.
After doing some research as to options, I decided on SAE’s Masters in Creative Industries. This course of study was not only relevant to my new career directions, but also flexible in that it provided opportunities to combine real life work projects into the units. Not only that, engaging with SAE is so much easier than other institutions.
You mentioned that you run your own business, have you noticed tangible benefits to your career from studying the course content of the Masters degree in real time?
The MCI degree has been great so far. It has really challenged me to think about lots of different aspects of working in the creative space and it's certainly helped stretch me into areas of thinking that I would otherwise never have considered.
The lecturers have all provided invaluable feedback to projects and assessments that have in turn translated into real time improvements to both my photography and videography projects.
Maintaining a balanced work/life/study lifestyle can be a worry for those looking to undertake postgraduate studies, what are your top tips for creating a balanced lifestyle?
As the saying goes, it's not about having enough time, it's about using your time effectively. So whether it's the discipline of good productive work habits or study habits, in the end it's about good time management.
For me (and probably for most creatives), I need to structure my week with intentional block of study time. It's even more crucial when you're studying online as you need to take control of your study routine.
How does SAE help students feel supported while studying online?
One of the great advantages of SAE is that the lecturers and Dr Jens Schroeder, the big kahuna of the MCI study program, are so accessible. They're all genuinely interested in you as a person and your field of work. And they're all just a video conference or email away if I get stuck.
The Trimester structure is fantastic. The units are conducted in 6 week and 12 week bursts, that makes study milestones far more achievable and helps generate the feeling that you're achieving real progress through the course of study.
How do you stay motivated while working and studying concurrently?
The suitability of the MCI program to my work and vice versa makes is a great fit. When the two are so complimentary the lines between study and work seem to just gel really well.
What is your advice to those thinking about taking the plunge and undertaking postgraduate study?
If you want to challenge your thinking and grow in your understanding of what it means to work and achieve in the creative industries space, then the MCI program is definitely worth undertaking. The good bit is that regardless of whether you're working in photo, video, sound or game development, the MCI program will most certainly help you.
And finally, how do you like to relax in your downtime?
The biggest reason I work is so that I can enjoy spending time with my family, wife and I have three wonderful grandchildren (so far) who bring much joy and delight to our lives. (And yes I know what you're thinking - how can someone who looks so young be a grandfather!) Having said that, relaxation time still seems to bring out a camera of some sort!
Thinking of taking your career to the next level?

The three-year-old will be ridden by Kerrin McEvoy in Saturday's Group One race at Flemington with the colt trained by his uncle Tony.
"We've had a few opportunities along the way, not so many recently, but it's always great to team up with the uncle and see if we can win a big one." he said.
A two-time winning jockey in the Melbourne Cup, that luck hasn't been afforded to McEvoy in the Derby.
He's finished second four times, the first of which was in 2002 when beaten in a photo aboard Hydrometer by Helenus.
As stable rider for Sheikh Mohammed's Australian team of horses, that later became Godolphin, he finished second on Induna in 2011 and Complacent in 2013.
"Obviously the Derby is a race that's eluded me having had four close seconds, so hopefully we can tick that box.
"Not only would it be great to win for myself, it would be Tony's first Derby as well."
"I'm happy with the barrier draw and this horse put up a brave effort at Geelong after doing a bit of work early," McEvoy said.
"They've all got to pass that test (2500m) but he galloped out strongly and another 100 metres he would have won the race.
"That shows he's got some staying powers."

Simple machines are tools we use to help make work easier. There are six types of simple machines (inclined plane, wheel and axle, pulley, screw, wedge and lever). You can make a model of any of the six simple machines for a fifth-grade science project by following a few simple steps.
An inclined plane helps us move heavy objects by pushing or rolling them up at an angle rather than lifting them straight up. Fifth-graders may be familiar with skateboard ramps, which are a type of inclined plane. Demonstrate an inclined plane by stacking several books on a desk. Lean a piece of plywood against the books and roll a pencil or slide a box of crayons up the plywood.
You can demonstrate a wheel and axle by making a pinwheel. Find a square piece of paper and fold it in half diagonally. Open the paper and fold it diagonally in half again in the other direction. Unfold the paper to find creases that form an X. Cut along each crease up to an inch away from the center. Gently fold the right corner of each cut section toward the center. Push a pin through the center, puncturing each corner you have folded in. Place a bead on the pin and then hammer the pin into a wooden skewer. Demonstrate by blowing on the pinwheel or using a fan.
A pulley helps us lift heavy objects by pulling down on something rather than lifting up. To make a simple pulley, cut the bottom center of a hanger with wire cutters and slide a wooden spool onto one side. Tape the hanger closed. Hang the hanger securely on a hook or bar. Tie one end of a string to a light object such as a paperclip, and wrap the string over the spool. Demonstrate by pulling on the free side of the string. As the spool rotates, the object will lift.
Essentially, a screw is an inclined plane wrapped around a pole or post that allows us to hold materials together or lift and object. Using a screw-type wine bottle opener, demonstrate how the screw can be inserted into a cork and turned to penetrate deep into the object. The cork can then be easily pulled out.
A wedge is like two inclined planes back to back. Wedges can be used to cut materials. For instance, a wedge can be hammered into a log to split wood. A wedge can also stop something from moving. Show your class how a wedge works by sliding a doorstop under a classroom door to hold it open.
A lever is like a seesaw. It is used to lift heavy objects. To make your own, put a can on its side. The can acts as a fulcrum, or the pivoting point for the lever. Tap a grove in the center of the can and lay a ruler across the groove. Place an object on the side of the ruler that is touching the ground and push on the side of the ruler that is up in the air. Show the class how the lever helps you lift the object. You can make a larger-scale lever with a stack of books and a yardstick.

At Swihart Industries, Inc., we can provide precision CNC lathe machining to industries such as: medical, security, logistics, and energy. Our ISO 9001:2015 and TS16949:2009 certifications allow us to be highly proficient in manufacturing aluminum, cast iron, or stainless steel motor housings for AC/DC motors and generators. The primary function of these motor housings is to hold the generators inside of the motor in frames of x-ray’s, forklifts, and air conditioners. For this part, we machined this piece with overall part dimensions ranging from 2" to 24" round (5.08cm-60.96cm). The part had in process testing with a precision CMM touch probe with a tightness tolerance of +/- .0003" the bearing bore. The part is completed once it is given a material finish of 16 RMS. The motor housing can be shipped anywhere throughout North American and can have a volume size ranging from 10 – 10,000 lot size.
Our customer chose us for this part because they could not get the quality part they required from any other manufacturer. The customer gave Swihart industries a two-week time constraint to complete the part to meet their deadline. Swihart refocused resources and built special tooling all while getting the porosity and casting approval from the customer. The part made it past the PPAP (Pre-Production Approval Process) and was shipped to the customer before the two-week deadline. The customer said “Swihart hit a home run" and was happy they could perform in such a short amount of time. Because of this, the customer did not lose orders and has been a returning customer ever since. For more information about this custom CNC lathe machining project, see the table below, or contact us directly.

Nicole Jeffries is founder and president of the Community Service Interact Club at Hemet’s Western Center Academy. At weekly meetings she posts volunteer opportunities for club members and provides information about upcoming events while logging projects they have completed.
A community service club is among the options that Western Center Academy students in Hemet have thanks to senior Nicole Jeffries.
As Western Center Academy’s high school was developing, students were asked to create clubs on campus to bring students together for positive purposes.
“I have always wanted to do something more for my community and my mom helped me come up with the idea of a community service club,” said Nicole, 18.
She started volunteering at the Western Science Center, the museum that is connected to academy, when she was 15. She soon branched out to Therapeutic Horsemanship Equestrian Center, or T.H.E. Center, in Hemet, because she wanted to work with animals.
She serves in a variety of capacities at the equestrian center. During student lessons, she is a sidewalker – the person responsible for ensuring a rider keeps his or balance. And during therapeutic riding lessons, Nicole has served as a horse leader, during which she ensures maximum safety.
“Working with the horses and preparing for my future career as a veterinarian is just a bonus,” she said.
During the past three years, Nicole has logged nearly 300 volunteer hours by organizing and participating in activities such as beach cleanups through Surfrider Foundation, making greeting cards for seniors at ManorCare Health Services in Hemet and working at Calicinto Ranch in San Jacinto.
After merging with Rotary International’s Interact Club, the group is now called the Community Service Interact Club and has more than 25 members.
“I get students interested in joining by going around to every single classroom in the beginning of the (school) year and explaining what events we do and why they should join,” Nicole said.
She is working to ensure the project-based club doesn’t go away when she graduates by interviewing candidates for next year’s president, who will shadow her for the rest of the school year.
The club’s adviser is school counselor Tamara Su’eSu’e, who was approached by Nicole in the summer of 2014.
Western Center Academy offers students a letter in community service, which Nicole has earned and hopes other students will be motivated to do.
Nicole recently received the President’s Volunteer Service Award that is presented to Americans of all ages in appreciation and recognition of their commitment to strengthen our nation and communities through volunteer services, according to a news release.
Notable: She started a community service club at her school so others could experience the joys of volunteerism.

“With the successful introduction of the Secomea solution for remote service and programming of the fur robots, we have not only reduced travel costs but also improved the quality of our services, and the SiteManager is expected to be a standard component for a wide range of our new machines“.
Jasopels provides products and services to the international fur breeder industry. Solutions includes everything from sheds to feeding- and skinning machines. Jasopels is based in Denmark with production facilities in Poland.
Products such as the fur robot is sensitive to uptime, especially in the high season where they run constantly 24/7 for 3-4 weeks. In the past, remote service was accomplished by 96k modems, but with introduction of more advanced equipment and requirements for increased productivity, faster speed and higher stability was needed.
Today the fur robots at the breeders, have a Secomea SiteManager installed, which provides fast and easy access to both Ethernet and Serial based Mitsubishi controllers.

I would want to store localized versions of the title and description. I could have up to 10 languages, so I want to design this smartly. My initial thought is to break out the title & description fields into a separate translation table with the ID and the local as keys.
When querying, I would always pass in the locale, join the tables etc etc.
Is this the general approach that most others use? It makes sense in my head, but if there are other examples or some DNN API stuff I should take advantage of, please comment.
Full disclosure - GS-F is a friend of mine...and I still think it 's a good book!
a) either separate the localizable properties into a dependent table using parent key + locale and use an inner join and filter by locale.
Benefit: there is always at least one language available, but there might be a value for same language in base and translation table. You would need to use (slower) left JOIN.
c) if there is not always same initial language you may store initial language in base table as well. Benefit nearly same as b), a little bit more flexible but difficult to retrieve.
d) same base table as b) or c) and a central translation table with key (keyObject, keyID, keyproperty, language) key. you just need a single central table, but it is difficult to implement integrity, as it is not supported by SQL.
Thanks for the input. Option A makes the most sense to me.
Any other insights from the DNN community?

SubjectLeadership Series: "Work for Fun - Gaming Industry"
The CDC held another lecture from their Leadership Series on Wednesday, October 31st. This time, GSIS was graced with the presence of Young Mok Park, the CEO of Nchant Interactive. He gave a lecture called “Work for Fun - Gaming Industry.” The room was completely full with some students even standing to hear about the gaming industry in Korea and the world. “The future is uncertain so you might as well do what you love,” said Mr. Park. He told the attendees about the gaming market and how the game platform has changed from the past. Those in attendance learned a fun fact. The console market is very small in Korea because parents didn’t want to buy consoles that would distract from their children’s education so they bought computer instead. This led to the surge of PC gaming in Korea. Mr. Park said the industry is growing and has a lot of potential money in it with opportunities for GSIS students interested in the industry. He finished by saying, “Don’t worry. You don’t have to be good at gaming or whatever interests you. Just try and your opportunity will come.” Thank you CDC for bringing GSIS another great speaker.

Gazer ACG225 ultra-compact GPS module is designed for connection to a dual channel Gazer F225 DVR. By connecting this accessory, one can significantly expand the DVR functionality: video records will show the vehicle’s current speed and location as well as date and time of recording; Speedcam alert function will also be available.
Gazer ACG225 portable GPS module is designed specifically for connection with compatible Gazer Dashcam DVR’s. The module uses a built-in GPS antenna to receive satellite signals and then transmits the acquired data via a USB cable to the DVR’s central processing unit where they are processed by a powerful processor. By connecting this accessory, one can significantly expand the DVR functionality: video records will show the vehicle’s current speed and location as well as accurate date and time of recording.
With the optional Gazer ACG225 GPS module connected, compatible Gazer DVR acquires the Speedcam proximity alert function. Speedcam object database contains coordinates of various objects, events and important points on the route: location of speed cameras, stationary and portable radar guns, speed limit signs, speed bumps, pedestrian crossings, traffic police checkpoints, dangerous road sections and other important places and events.
Whenever the vehicle approaches such points, the DVR will automatically activate the alerting system: graphical messages will be displayed on the monitor along with voice prompts from the speaker built into the GPS module. When the distance to the object is 500 meters or less, the information about its type and the distance left will be shown on the video with the same information delivered by means of voice prompts. In addition, the DVR screen will constantly show the vehicle’s current speed and the speed limit on a specific road section.
Moreover, you will always be able to type in the coordinates of your own important points on the route by creating your personal (alternative) database. For detailed instructions and recommendations regarding the alternative database creation and installation, please, refer to Gazer F225 DVR user manual or “Information” section at gazer.com.
Another important feature of Gazer ACG225 GPS module is its built-in speaker with adjustable volume that can be disabled in the DVR menu. Speedcam voice prompts are issued by the module itself, while its miniature size makes it possible to mount the device at any spot convenient for the driver. This allows you to place the DVR (to which the module is connected) as far away from prying eyes as possible, e.g. hide it in the glove box. All this makes Gazer F225 dual channel DVR coupled with Gazer ACG225 GPS module a full-fledged security system that neither blocks the driver’s vision nor draws unwanted attention.

You can make it yourself with butter, icing sugar and a little milk, or buy it ready made. Whichever suits you and the time you have.
Preheat oven to 170 °C. Line x 6 8 inch cake tins with wax paper.
In a jug add 9 tablespoons of whole milk and mix in the vanilla essence.
Have 6 bowls ready to go. Into each one place 1 1/2 tsp milk in each bowl. Add a few drops of colour paste into each bowl and mix with the milk. Set aside.
In a stand mixer add the butter and sugar and mix for 7 to 10 minutes on low speed until the mix is almost white and very fluffy.
Lightly whisk the eggs and on low speed, add a little at a time making sure it is incorporated before adding more until all gone.
Add the sifted flour and gently fold through (if the mix starts to curdle whilst adding the egg, just add a little flour after each egg pour).
Weigh the cake mix and divide into 6 equal portions, then place in the 6 pre prepared bowls with the colours in. Mix to combine then bake for 25 minutes or until the skewer comes out clean. Remove from the oven, leave in the tin and cool completely.
Once cooled, use a cake saw or knife to remove the top of the cakes so you have a flat surface. Keep the discarded cake tops for later. Repeat until all 6 cakes are the same. Place the cake onto your cake board.
Layer the cake using buttercream making sure it is level. Add buttercream around the cake then remove the excess to flatten and place in the fridge to harden a little for an hour. Repeat this step until none of the cake is visible. Place back in the fridge for 30 minutes. Now you can pipe onto it, whatever pattern you like.
Blitz some of the cake tops to create crumbs.
Add the cake crumbs on top.

"Now when they had gone through Phrygia and the region of Galatia, they were forbidden by the Holy Spirit to preach the word in Asia. After they had come to Mysia they tried to go into Bithynia, but the Spirit did not permit them" (Acts 16:6-7). One of my favorite letters written by Paul, is that to the church in Philippi. It is incredibly encouraging, uplifting and filled with reminders of God’s blessings. I also love the letter, because of how the church came about in the first place. And for that, we travel back to the book of Acts, chapter 16.
Paul so badly desired to preach the gospel in Asia...yet the Lord had a different plan. Acts 16:6-7 tells us that Paul tried, not once, but twice, to get into Asia, to preach the Word. However, these verses tell us that the Holy Spirit did NOT permit it. That seems strange if you think about it for a moment. Why would the Lord NOT want the Word to be preached? Why would God close such a great door of opportunity, rather then open it? Doesn’t He desire that, “...non should perish, but ALL come to repentance” (2 Peter 3:9). Yes He does, but the bible also tells us that His ways and thoughts are not our ways and thoughts (Jeremiah). Solomon also wrote that, “as a mans heart plans his ways, the Lord directs His steps (Proverbs 16:9).
Back in May of last year, it seemed like God had opened a tremendous door of opportunity. Everything was lining up, for us to begin caring for some 40 orphans, from an orphanage in Creel, as the current orphanage would close down. God brought together a great relationship between the director, Ray Wilson, and myself. He and his wife have been a great encouragement to Jackie and I. As you all know, we faced some serious difficulties (closed doors) that were very frustrating. God had orchestrated everything so smoothly up until September...why the challenges now? Why did it seem like more doors were CLOSING then OPENING? To be honest, I don’t know. BUT...what I do know, and want to encourage you today in, is what the Lord has been teaching me. God has shown me in a tremendous way, how to love, appreciate and EMBRACE, closed doors of opportunity. Just as much as you would an open door of opportunity.
You see if we believe that Jesus knows all things, created all things and has our best interest in hand...should we really be discouraged when we come up against a closed door? Even though we may think, or others, think it would be best opened, God may not think so. I have also learned that when God does close a door, its only because he has something BETTER for us. Yes, something better, like we see later on in Acts chapter 16. Because the Spirit forbade Paul to enter Asia, he got the call to go to Macedonia...and as a result of that, a woman named Lydia and her household were saved, a demon possessed girl was saved, the philippian jailer and his household was saved, and the church in Philippi was birthed.
Think about that...no matter how exciting it seemed, to preach the gospel in Asia, God had something bigger and better in store. Often times we look at something through a tiny magnifying glass...when God wants to pull us back a step and show us the bigger picture, through HIS lens. Though we had thought that once the orphanage building was finished, we would begin caring for those children in Creel, that door has closed.
Ray, sent out a wonderful letter to his supporters that I have included in this post. He does an excellent job explaining the new opportunities God has provided. Saints, I am just as encouraged as I was back in May. In fact, even more so, because though we face a closed door that once seemed open...I anxiously await the new door of opportunity that God DOES open, to care for those in need.
There has been a new development in our Creel Mexico “Aljaba” Children’s Home that I can hardly wait to tell you about! We were recently approached by an organization of Mexican churches that have a concern, as we do, for the Tarahumara Indian orphans in the mountains around the Creel area. They had the desire to open a Children’s Home in that area, but had not found a suitable location. This group of churches has helped us periodically with food and supplies there for several years.
We discussed several options with them and together we arrived at a decision, a proposal, that they took to their organizational leaders and I took to our Board of Directors for approval. I am pleased to say that both their leaders and our Board have given unanimous approval! So, we are now entering into a partnership with this church organization and them with ours, to fund the continuing day to day expenses of caring for, housing, and educating the 40 children that live at our Children’s Home in Creel! And though we will continue to substantially fund the Children’s Home there, our new partners are taking on the bulk of the financial responsibilities!
This has been a matter of prayer since we first opened this Children’s Home in 1994. It has always been my father, Black Buffalo’s calling to start new ministries where others, for one reason or another, had not done so. He has had, and always will have, a “pioneering, we can do this” kind of spirit and outlook. I like to say about him that he has “boldly gone where no man has gone before!” It has always been his prayer that a Mexican organization would someday rise to the occasion and begin taking care of the orphans in their country. That day has come!
They will be providing local leadership, and coordinating volunteers and workers to oversee and assist our current staff, which includes our directors, Lino and Lupe Balderas, who have been with us for the past seven years.
We will continue to raise support and receive contributions here in the States and use those funds to help with the day to day expenses, as well as with construction and maintenance projects around the buildings and property.
We will continue to support the ministry there by taking Mission Adventure Teams to the Children’s Home on a regular basis.
This decision enables us to pursue the opening of our third Children’s Home in Retalhuleu Guatemala, where we already have an organization of 11 churches that are ready and able to take on the day to day operation and partial funding of caring for the children! We also have plans to open our second Leticia Colombia Children’s Home in 2014. We opened our first one there in 2004 and it continues to minister to and care for 75 children with funding from the Orphanos Foundation.
Please don't hesitate to email me OR give me a call if you have any questions. Thank you all for your prayers and support!

The Mexican Zone of Silence has, by far, been one of the most mysterious areas in the world. This Mysticurious article attempts to shed light on the mystery of this curious region.
The largest meteorite ever found on the Earth is known to have crashed in the Mexican Zone of Silence. Known as the Allende meteorite, it fell on February 8, 1969, and weighs about eight metric tons.
From savagery to civilization, man has come a long way. There is absolutely no doubt that we have made an immense advancement in the field of science and technology. We have also been able to find satisfactory answers to numerous, seemingly mysterious, and complicated questions. However, we cannot deny the fact that there still exist a large number of mysteries around us, and that despite our efforts, spanning several long years, we haven't been able to figure them out completely. According to scientists, there exist an enormous number of natural mysteries, almost everywhere in the world. Furthermore, there are also several things that the human mind simply cannot comprehend.
One such mystery lies in northern Mexico in the scorching, and often hostile, Chihuahuan Desert. The mysterious patch in the desert is the famous La Zona del Silencio, also known as the Mexican Zone of Silence or the Mapimí Silent Zone, just about 400 miles away from El Paso, Texas. Numerous researches have been going on with regard to what exactly happens in this region, and why suddenly all the communication devices, such as mobile phones, and walkie-talkies cease to function.
The Mexican Zone of Silence has long been famous as the place where the radio signals cannot be received. This means that this is a zone wherein, one cannot communicate with the world via phones or emails, cannot watch TV, and can't listen to the FM Radio. In short, if you are in or passing through the Mexican Zone of Silence, you are completely cut off from the world, until you have crossed the region.
This unusual property of the zone came into the public eye in the 1930s. A Mexican pilot, named Francisco Sarabia, became the first person to have officially reported his experience, while passing through the patch. According to his report, his radio suddenly stopped functioning, as it could not receive any more signals. Thus, Sarabia became the first-known "victim" of the Zone of Silence. Around the same time, some farmers from nearby habitations had also witnessed what they described as "hot pebbles falling from the sky." Furthermore, in 1970, an American missile crashed in the Zone of Silence, and there has been no plausible explanation to it till date. There have also been reports of several other such mishaps in and around the region, all of them being equally inexplicable.
Owing to the unusual and mysterious properties of the region, it is quite obvious that it is not suitable for human habitation. Though the zone is known to have been inhabited during the prehistoric period, it seems to have been abandoned by the humans later on. Today, the settlement nearest to the zone is some 25 miles away from it, and is that of Ceballos in the Mexican state of Durango. Even in Ceballos, the radio signals cannot be transmitted at the normal frequency, and it may be, indeed, shocking to know that there are, to this date, no televisions in the settlement, simply because they don't work there.
Scientific theorists have reportedly noted that the region lies to the immediate north of the Tropic of Cancer. Moreover, it has also been stated that the zone also lies just to the south of the 30th parallel. This kind of location of the Zone of Silence, places it in apposition with some other earthly mysteries, such as that of the Bermuda Triangle.
For years, several reports have been coming from and around the region with regard to the various UFO sightings, and some really close extraterrestrial encounters. People have reported the rather friendly behavior of the "supposed" aliens, most of the time. In 1975, Ernesto and Josefina Diaz were reportedly helped by two "giant" aliens, when their car got stuck into the muddy terrain. Travelers and locals, who tend to cross the zone on a regular basis, have reported seeing strange light balls floating in the air during night. These balls of light, according to some reports, also tend to change colors at times. Ufologists have often found the scrub vegetation being burned down at locations from where they got such reports. Does this, in some way, affirm that the region may indeed be visited by extraterrestrials?
One of the most interesting reports of alien encounter in the region comes from a local ranch, which as the story goes, was often visited by three strange people, dressed in a funny way and speaking flawless Spanish. They went to the ranch, in order to ask for water, which they would, in a very polite manner. Moreover, when asked where they had come from, they would only smile and say, "from above." This may be a myth, but certain ufologists, owing to the description of the aliens, claim that they might be the ones of the "nordic" type-humanoid extraterrestrials with European features. Many more stories of alien encounters come from the region, wherein people claim to have seen, and in some rare instances, even interacted with them.
Despite the fact that a number of people claim to have seen UFOs and aliens, there hasn't been confirmed evidence of any such sighting as yet. However, the claims of so many people, which come from one single region, are difficult to dismiss. We are aware of the fact that such claims take time to find a substantial basis; however, thorough researches are going on regarding the same.
The Mexican Zone of Silence, apart from being a region of mystery, is also a region of wonder. Despite the fact that the region hasn't been inhabited by humans for hundreds of years, ancient ruins of an unknown structure have been found in the area. Archaeologists have not been able to estimate the date when the structure may have been constructed yet. Moreover, they have also not been able to understand exactly, what the structure may be or for what purpose it may have been erected. Some claim it to be a part of an ancient observatory; however, this does not possess any substantial basis.
Another interesting remain in the region is that of a man-made platform, which is as much as six miles in length. There is also a man-made pyramidal hill in the area, the purpose of which is also unknown as yet. Alongside these structural remains, several stone statues of animals have also been found.
In 1976, virtually everybody in Ceballos saw a rectangular UFO passing over the settlement. Reportedly, it landed right on the man-made pyramidal hill in the Zone of Silence. Can the ancient ruins then, be some kind of landing ground for the UFOs?
Some ufologists, owing to the huge number of instances of UFO and alien sightings in the Zone of Silence, consider it as the "Mecca for UFO activity." For the purpose of attempting to decode the area's mystery, the Mexican government has established a research facility, right in the heart of it. Known as the Biosphere, the facility attracts scientists and researchers from around the world. We hope that the mystery will be solved in the near future, and humans will be able to make yet another advancement in the field of science.

Two years ago, Sue thought her life was going nowhere. Today, she is accomplishing things she never thought possible.
The person I was two years ago is not the person I am today. At 16-years-old, I found out I was pregnant. That changed my life. I knew I had to give up the life I was living. It was tough to give that life up, but it’s just something that happened naturally because of this mother’s instinct I have.
I heard about Eastside Academy from a friend, but I thought it was just another alternative high school. This school has helped me so much. I like how we are a family here. All of us support each other, and when I don’t understand something, having a smaller classroom is really helpful for me.
Right now, it’s just my daughter and me, and I’m trying to be a good role model for her. We don’t live in a good neighborhood, and I don’t want my daughter going to school where we live right now. My goal is to get us out of this neighborhood as soon as possible.
Seeing the students change because of this school, it’s a great thing for all of us. I never thought my life would go anywhere, and it made me depressed. I knew thinking like that was wrong, but I didn't believe I could accomplish the things I am doing today. I am so grateful for Eastside Academy!
Will you help Sue stay in school and graduate with her diploma?

Saint Peter, was sitting behind a desk on front of the gates of heaven, getting ready to start his day.
"Hello, Saint Peter." said the first person.
"State you name and tell me how you spent your life." he said.
"Oh Saint Peter, I am a nun, who spent her life helping those in need, and serving the Lord."
"Here is a golden key, it will open the Gates of Heaven."
And off the nun went.
"Next." said Saint Peter. "How did you spend your life."
"I spent my life like a normal human being." another woman said. "I told some lies, white lies here and there. But nothing serious."
"Here I give you a Silver Key. It is for the Pulgatory. You may go now." he said. "Next. Tell me, how did you lived your life?"
"Oh Saint Peter, my life was spent on parties, with a different man every day. I loved a good dance, drinking, and having a different man every night. You might call me a creature of the night." said a beautiful Girl.
"Here is a key made of Copper." he said.
"Is that the key to Hell?!"
"No, thst is the key, for my apartment."

I always thought that the Justice card was male, but then I did some research and found that it’s based on Athena. If you look at the card – there is NO water. This is a bit unusual for tarot cards, particularly in the Major Arcana. No water? No emotion. This card is about being critical and impartial. There is no room here for empathy. Squishy, emotional types like me get very uncomfortable when this card comes up. It’s cold, objective and very, very fair. it doesn’t care if you had a bad day or if someone bent your feelers.
Everything in this card is even. The robes are symmetrical, the pillars, and the balance of the sword straight up and the scales hanging straight down. I have a feeling that she would pull a Solomon without hesitation and cut that baby in half. If you look, you can see that her foot is sticking out under her robe. She will fly up as soon as she makes her decision and carry it out. Justice is about action. That’s why social justice groups are always marching around and making things happen. They’d be called social idea groups otherwise.
The Tarot MixTape selection for Justice is "Give Peace a Chance" by John Lennon. Wouldn't that be nice?
