Modulatory effects of ayahuasca on personality structure in a traditional framework
Nige Netzband, Simon Ruffell, S. Linton, W. F. Tsang, T. Wolff
Abstract: Ayahuasca is a psychoactive plant brew containing dimethyltryptamine (DMT) and monoamine oxidase inhibitors (MAOIs). It originates from the Amazon basin, where it is used primarily for ceremonial purposes. Ayahuasca tourists are now entering certain communities seeking alternative physical or psychological healing, as well as spiritual growth. Rationale: Recent evidence has shown that the similar acting psychedelic compound, psilocybin, facilitated long-term increases in trait openness following a single administration. Objectives: This paper assesses the impact of ayahuasca on personality in a traditional framework catering for ayahuasca tourists. Method: Within a mixed design, we examined the effect of ayahuasca on participants' personality (measured by the NEO Personality Inventory 3 questionnaire) across time (pre- to post-ayahuasca administration, and 6-month follow-up), relative to a comparison group (who did not ingest ayahuasca). Results: The results demonstrated significant increases in agreeableness pre- and post-ayahuasca administration and significant reductions in neuroticism in 24 participants, relative to the comparison group. Both of these changes were sustained at 6-month follow-up, and trait level increases were also observed in openness at this stage. Additionally, greater perceived mystical experience (measured using the Mystical Experience Questionnaire 30) was associated with increased reductions in neuroticism. Conclusions: These findings, which indicate a positive mediating effect of ayahuasca on personality, support the growing literature suggesting potential therapeutic avenues for serotonergic psychedelics.

Sleek, stylish and utterly captivating, the Geberit Smyle washbasin range positively screams modernity. The pure white basin sits in perfect juxtaposition with the gleaming silver of the tap and waste systems. The simple mixer, one tap column design is mirrored below the sink by the ultra-modern drainage system giving a sense of balance.
The Smyle washbasin design range amazingly combines sharp, straight lines and gorgeous swooping curves to give an unconventional styling that will entertain rather than challenge. This washbasin range comes in four sizes. The whole range is 16.5cm high and 48cm deep with a centre tap hole and overflow. While these dimensions remain the same, the width comes in 55, 60, 65 or 70cm. Your choice of washbasin width will not just be driven by the room available to you, but instead by the subtle changes in appearance that these small differences bring.


After my feast at Gwangjang Market, I was ahead of the game, but in need another few places to visit. As it was raining on Monday I thought it would be the ideal opportunity to give Pajeon a try as it is typically a rainy day food. Traditionally it was eaten by farmers on rainy days when they couldn't tend to their crops because it was easy to prepare and the stodgy food was nourishing for the mind and body. The sound of Pajeon sizzling in the pan also recreates the sound of the rain.
Traditionally Pajeon is served a long side Makgeolli , a traditional fermented rice alcohol. So I headed over to Damotori in HBC as they have such an awesome selection. One of the best things about Damatori is that they have a Makgeolli tasting set for only 3,000 won. Which allows you to try five different Makgeolis to let yo see which one you like best. My favourite was the 복술도가 but we decided to get a bottle of our second favourite instead because it was cheaper (7,000). So food number 5 was a drink, not technically my favourite alcoholic beverage but it is very Korean, and different to anything else you find in the world. So it had to be tried.
My sixth food was Pajeon, a savoury Korean pancake made with green onions. There are a couple different versions at Damotori, and as they were out of the most common green onion and seafood version, we ordered the onion and mushroom instead (14,000). Honestly I don't like seafood all that much, and I adore mushrooms so this was a plus in my box. The pajeon was cut into small pieces perfect for sharing. Though I thought the pancake itself was under-seasoned, with not a great deal of flavour by itself. The side dish of pickled soy sauce onions was very good, much better than the Gwangjang Market version. They added a nice salty and sour element to the dish, but a side of gochujang would have helped too. All in a a good meal for a rainy day though.
6/100 Korean foods eaten, 94 days remain! What would you like to see me try next? Check out the list below.
Damotori is located at 31 Sinheung-ro, Yongsan 2(i)ga-dong, Yongsan-gu, Seoul. To get there take a train to Noksapyeong Station and come out of exit 2. Walk straight to the end of the road, then take the road baring left and walk straight pas the Kimchi Pots.Keep walking straight along this road, you will see Damotori just ahead on the left hand side, after you pass Bonny's Pizza. For more information, you can call them on 070-8950-8362.

I would STRONGLEY AVOID Angels Car garage having found them to be dishonest and trying to rip me off by £160 for tyres I didn't need by saying they were bald and illegal to use. An official Ford dealer inspected my car as a second opinion and the tyres were all fine (basically brand new!). All my car needed was new coil springs and a puncture repair (total = £190 from the official Ford Dealer compared to nearly £400 from Angels!) When my car was recovered by the AA to Angels, I asked whether there would be a charge to inspect my car, the answer was no. This was a lie as I was charged £24 for an inspection. I decided not to use Angels as after they inspected my car, they lied about my car needing 3 new tyres saying they were bald and illegal to use, as well as charging to resolve the original problem of broken coil springs and a puncture. I knew my car didn't need 3 new tyres as they had only been changed a couple of months earlier by an official Ford dealer. Only 1 new tyre was needed to resolve the puncture. When I said I didn't want any of the work doing (because of them trying to rip me off charging over £160 for new tyres I didn't need) they then said £24 was due for them "inspecting" the car. I paid this as otherwise they wouldn't release my car, and then took my car to an official Ford Dealer. When the official Ford Dealer looked at my car, they said the tyres were fine and the puncture was simply repaired. I was given a written report (which was free!) which didn't match the report Angels had given me at all. Angels also said I needed realignment which I didn't!!! I went in to see Angels to discuss this and they were rude to me the minute I walked in. 2 members of their staff saw me waiting in the reception but left me there for over 10 minutes until they decided they would talk to me. I requested a written report from them (as the report they gave me just said "30 minutes labour") to which they replied "can't my garage see for themselves". My garage had already seen my car by this point but wanted the report Angels made written down to see their lies. Angels then lied that they ever said the tyres were bald – just low and wouldn't write that on the report. Well actually they weren't even low they still had the tread depth indicator on them and were only 2 months old. I would never use or recommend Angels to anyone unless you want to be ripped off and have things changed on your car you just don't need.
Jay and his staff are really friendly and helpful and will always try and accommodate their customers, one of the best workshops I've found.
I use them every year and they are trustworthy .
They have been servicing my car for the 2 years now. I find them a fair small business.

Reading my usual dose of Russian press, I stumbled on an interesting interview with a CEO of one of the largest SEO companies in Russia in Kommersant.ru. Although 90% of the interview is company's self-advertising, I found their evaluation of Russian market of SEO services quite interesting.
The CEO in question estimates that the value of the market of SEO services in Russia is somewhere between 16 and 20 billion Russian rubles (around 690 million USD), where 9 billion were spent on links and the other 7 to 12 billion – on service fees to agencies and freelancers. Apparently, large agencies (which are few) are responsible for only 20-30% of this amount. The rest of the money is distributed among smaller SEO agencies and freelance SEO specialists.
The CEO also says that with all the recent changes in Yandex ranking algorithm, SEO for Yandex became more complicated and more time consuming. Hence prices of SEO services increased, and in some cases doubled. An average Russian business is estimated to spend around 80-100 thousand Russian Rubles (2.7 – 3.5 thousand USD) per month.
I personally feel the numbers are blown out of proportions. I've seen prices 10 times lower than this. But that's an opinion.
I assume the changes will move towards more ethical practices as Yandex begins to penalise sites using older black hat tecniques. Is content still king in Russia, or is it still primarily backlinking that is used?
It depends on who you ask, I guess. In my personal opinion, the changes you mention have been happening for a while now. Quality content is very important, as well as a lot of factors related to user experience, but links still have to be built. I don't see links completely losing importance for any SE in the nearest future, including Yandex, but the kind of links that work will be different imo.
The traffic to my blog from Russia and neighboring countries has exploded over the past few months. I infer from that a huge appetite for SEO articles and resources that isn't being satisfied in native Russian resources.
Hey Michael! This might well be. I often see translations from English sources in Russian SEO press lately. Since Yandex SEO starts more and more resembling SEO for Googe together with the fact that Google in gaining market share in Russia, people start researching how it's done in the West, I guess. Btw, I love your blog!


France & Søn was one of Denmark´s greatest makers of furniture. Originally the company was called France and Daverkosen, after Mr. France moved from the UK to Denmark and met his business partner, cabinet maker Mr. Daverkosen. Later on (Mid 1950s) the company became France & Son as Julian France joined in his father´s footsteps. The company was later sold to Poul Cadovious in 1964 and continued under the name CADO.

The DT50 is another line of new, larger LED back lit LCD televisions from Panasonic. Prior to 2012 Panasonic kept larger sizes and top end features in their plasma line but they have introduced some high-tier larger LED TVs this year. The TC-L47DT50 is the second form the highest tier and contains most of the features of the WT50 though it lacks some of the social netowkring features and it has a different look.
The active 3D in the TC-L47DT50 shows a rich, detailed image with 3D content. Full HD Active 3D shows each eye twice (or more) than the resolution of passive 3D and this not only increases detail, it improves the overall depth and separation of 3D content.
With the Viera Remote app you can control the TC-L47DT50 with a smartphone or tablet. It supports use of the touch screen on your phone and the phone's built-in keyboard as well as displaying web pages and video from the TV to phone and vice versa.


We are now pleased to advise EdSmart is now integrated with leading Australian learning management system Schoolbox, for parents to view and complete their online forms.
Parent portals are an increasing part of a school's technology stack, it makes sense to concentrate a parent's online interaction with their children's school into a single point of contact. There's nothing calculated to drive parents up the wall more than telling them they need to register and sign into a plethora of web sites.
This is a major reason why EdSmart is not a 'destination' for parents. They might click our online form links, but we don't require them to create an account or sign in. Instead we see EdSmart as a piece of infrastructure a school can integrate with and deploy into their existing technology stack.
Schools love Schoolbox, and we do too. It's a fantastic Melbourne-made software-as-a-service LMS, built by a group of talented people who are determined to create the best possible set of tools for K-12 schools.
The integration set up is simple and there is no cost to your school. Parents can click a link in the Schoolbox portal and view a history of previously submitted forms, plus complete new forms. If you have our Admin and Enrolment Forms module they can even create their own new forms.
Don't forget, if you also have the EduApp by Digistorm, EdSmart integrates to that as well. It's a fantastic triumvirate – EdSmart + Schoolbox + Digistorm schoolApp. Terrific convenience for your parents, reduced workload for school staff.

Wacky tobaccy, cronic, dope... whatever you call it, an ever-growing wave of support for legalizing the recreational use of marijuana has been permeating throughout the United States of America recently.
Although "weed" has been well-baked into American culture, CNN's live coverage of party-going potheads toking it up aboard the haze-filled "Cannabus" on New Year's Eve in Denver--where recreational marijuana use is legal--seemed to give credence to the notion that this whole legal weed thing just may be catching on once and for all.
So, is America about to go up in smoke? Or are we just tripping? Take a deep breath and check out this week's Rasmussen Minute.

Rotmo was interviewed before the Vilks attack.
This interview shows how ridiculous it is to accuse anybody who criticizes Islam of being an Islamophobe. Here we have a guy who thinks Muslims will kill him if he dares say anything and that Muslims will take over Norway. Sounds like the very definition of Islamophobe to me. Should he criticize Islam in order to prove that he isn't?
Artist and social critic Hans Rotmo (62) incurred the wrath of Christians many times, but he doesn't dare take on Islam.
Musician and author Hans Rotmo doesn't dare show or put on plays that criticize Islam.
Rotmo, who in the past criticized Christianity, and released the Christian-critical Christmas album "Vårres jul" (1980), doesn't think Muslims are as tolerant as Christians when they're targeted.
"If I would have said what I actually think about Islam, I wouldn't be in this world for long, no," Rotmo told NRK.
Rotmo is currently working on recording a new Christmas album to follow up "Vårres Jul" 30 years later.
"When I released "Vårres Jul" and explained that Christmas is older than Jesus, many people were provoked. They wrote in the papers and were really bitter and were really hurt and sad," explains Hans Rotmo.
He doesn't think that will happen this time. To the question on how that's become of social-critic Rotmo, he admits he doesn't take chances.
"If I had created anything showing Muslim duplicity and such things, things would have been difficult."
He's certain that sooner or later somebody will make a "Vårres Jul" about Islam.
"But it won't be me. I don't dare do that. I know Islam quite usefully. It's a completely different mindset. We who don't believe in Islam are condemned to perish. It says so in every sura in the Koran."
"It will be dangerous if I will decide to do with Islam as I did with Christianity," Hans Rotmo told NRK.
He thinks it's harder to criticize Islam because he himself is not Muslim.
Q: Can't all religions be looked at critically?
"Yes, but I think they need to do that themselves, down in key areas. It will certainly not be perceived as especially informative if it comes from me. I will keep far away from that," says Rotmo.
Another reason for Hans Rotmo's fear to say his opinion about Islam is that he's certain that Islam will be the prevailing religion in Norway.
"Noway will be Muslims within 50 to 100 years," Hans Rotmo told NRK.
It's just a matter of time and the way before all Norwegian folklore and Christian culture becomes a relic, say the artist.
Q: You're convinced of that?
"Yes. Just extrapolate the curves in the population statistics. Sweden and France will notice this first.
Hans Rotmo has often been association with the political left in Norwegian politics. He admits that his statements will be linked by many to a completely different political direction.
"Yes, but wise thoughts can come from the strangest communities. This comes because all others are afraid. You can just look at Statistics Norway. They must be terrified that they don't dare tell how things will really be," says Hans Rotmo.

MODOK Possibly Revealed Via Marvel Studios' Ant-Man 3 Merch
Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania is only 5 months away, and public marketing for the long-awaited movie is picking up the pace. This year's San Diego Comic-Con featured its first promotional footage, and a new teaser was shown at Marvel's D23 Expo presentation. We have examined and made the audio transcriptions for the teaser here. Merchandise for this movie is on its way and alleged leaked merchandise featuring one of its villains, MODOK, has found its way to the internet.
Who Is MODOK?
George Tarleton aka M.O.D.O.K. (Mental Organism Designed Only for Killing), formerly M.O.D.O.C. (Mental Organism Designed Only for Computing), was a lowly American technician working for A.I.M. (Advanced Idea Mechanics). He joined the team to help develop the Cosmic Cube, but was mutated into a human computer by the Scientist Supreme. They grew his brain to give him a superhuman intellect, but with the side effect of a massive cranium which was too much for his frail body, meaning he needed to be placed inside a life support unit dubbed the "Doomsday Chair". The process also gave him a plethora of psychic powers along with an ego and ambition to match. He went on to use his new found powers to take control of the organization that had experimented on him.
via Fandom
How MODOK looked in the comics
Now, most of this is going to be changed in Quantumania, as they need to fit the character in with the collective story of the MCU (Marvel Cinematic Universe). MODOK is likely going to be Darren Cross, whom we last saw in Ant-Man.

MODOK's MCU Design Revealed……Or Not
Leaked merchandise for Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania has revealed a new peek at MODOK. Looking at the image, it is very obvious that Marvel has changed his design to fit his MCU adaptation, which they do quite a lot. His body is completely covered with armor, making him look vastly different when compared to the comics. This further proves that MODOK could indeed be Darren Cross due to his bug-like design.

A closer look at MODOK
However, some users have found a piece of fan art that is a carbon copy of the leaked merch. This was made by Instagram user lexx_177_ and was uploaded last month, predating the merch. Even so, we can't jump to the conclusion that the merch was faked. Theater chains and merch manufacturers are notorious for using fan art to promote upcoming titles. From Spider-Man: No Way Home to Thor: Love and Thunder, they have used fan art for marketing the movie. We also know that this art was based on descriptions of MODOK from the Comic-Con teaser. A simpler explanation would be that the art was very accurate to the movie's design. Our own sources have also backed this, stating that the merch was exactly how MODOK looks in the teaser.

When to travel and go on adventures in Bariloche Patagonia?
Here is a Month by Month description with highlights and season conditions regarding weather, terrain, what to do and expect in Patagonia all year round!
After many years living, working and travelling around Patagonia we decided to write this entry since we read a lot of opinions regarding our region and would like to help tourists with local knowledge and objective data.
September is still great for skiing and snow activities. The ski resorts are usually open till the end of the month. Backcountry skiing conditions are great and the snowpack more stable. High winter season for tourist has ended already so it feels very relaxed.
October in Northern Patagonia is quite slow, a short low-season when locals try to go for some fun snow Peak climbs if weather allows. Conditions can be rough and mountain huts are still closed except Frey Hut which never closes! Skiing is still ok in the Backcountry and some day hikes on lower terrain can be done with no snowshoes. Days are a bit longer but still feels like Spring hasn´t arrived.
November! Yes, now we can call this Spring! Tulips are blooming, some daffodils a bit latter, also native wild ground orchids will start popping up. The mountains slowly loose some snow and become friendlier for adventures. Rivers flow bigger and soon trout fishing season starts. It is a great time to explore and visit mountain huts that will be busy in January. Some snow peak climbs are at their prime conditions during this month. Down at the lakes, kayak touring is a must to enjoy the quietness and solitude. The cold mornings keep all mosquitos and flies asleep waiting for the summer.
December in Patagonia is our favorite! The forest is in full bloom, orchids, lupines, scot's broom decorate the roads and trails everywhere. It is so beautiful and warm, days get looonnngggeerrr! It is a great time for all adventures and tours. It is still slow in number of tourists so you can visit almost every place and feel the Patagonian solitude. The last week, during Christmas time is when Summer High Season starts and some hotels and restaurants get crowded mainly with foreigners. If you come during the last 10 days of the year, book ahead of time!
January, chaos is here! This is when most Argentineans go on holidays so except people everywhere, where it is somewhat easy to get too. It is not a problem to avoid the crowds though, you just need to know where to go and at what time. Same as in any country, crowds stay close to cars or busses, so get out and walk, paddle or ride longer! Guides will help you find that amazing quiet place you saw in the pictures. Since there is a lot more people, also be more careful for your belongings, sometimes burglars come from cities to "work the season" from careless tourists. Weather now is super nice, hot days, stable conditions and beautiful mountains with some snow left in the summits. Perfect time for hiking traverses and climbs. Rafting, paddling and water sports help cool the body from the strong summer sun. Ok, let's talk about horse-flies, black-flies and mosquitos since the season started! Patagonia is not as bad as Alaska but it can be annoying.
February brings new blooming of native flowers such as the colorful Amancay, a type of lily which covers the forest above 1200 meters of elevation. This time of the year is also perfect for all activities and you will find much less people around, even though it is still high season. The lakes are warmer so water sports and swimming in the shallow bays is the thing to do! This month visitors will meet a "new" host in Patagonia called Chaqueta Amarilla (Yellow Jacket) this carnivorous bee begun its reign in Patagonia in 1980 and since then it has been spreading South with a fast pace. It is believed as a result of the higher temperatures during the summer and early autumn. Just make sure you don't grab or bite one while having a picnic outside. They do not sting unless you really disturbed them.
March finds the mountains with no snow at all, by this time it all melted off. Also the horse flies left because some mornings get colder which is mostly appreciated. Certainly the high season for tourism is ending and traffic is back to reasonable. Rivers and lakes have lost a good amount of volume. Days are still hot and nice, some rain may come and locals will be thankful!
April fall… not really! Since it still feels like summer especially with all this Global Warming or Climate Change. Lately we have been having amazing Aprils with good weather and conditions to be outside adventuring. Now for sure you are Off-Season, little crowds are found and travelers can enjoy some autumn colors up in the mountains where the colder mornings star shedding the leaves of the Lenga trees.
May comes with rain! Oh yes, after an amazing summer it is time to hunker down! Usually May is the month when locals go on holidays (if possible) to a nice warmer place. Rainy season begins and weather in general is very unstable. The autumn colors are at its best so on nice weather, it is the most beautiful scenery. Great time to get up at higher ground to enjoy these. You will find discounts and promotions on many services and hotels who try to attract visitors. Mountain huts usually close by the end of May.
June… a month for movies & chocolate! Rain keeps falling, hopefully mixed with some snow fall up in the mountains. Summits begin to get covered with snow and people ready for the Winter season! A great activity to do during this time is to hike up to Frey Hut valley and ice skate on the alpine lagoon which is usually frozen by now. If the snow starts early and strong, some of the tours and activities for the winter will open early.
July is snowballs time!!! Yes, the "tirabolas" arrived to town and we welcome them! People from all South America come to enjoy the snow and the amazing scenery we have to offer. Also to eat a lot of hot chocolate, drink beer and have smoked game meat. There is a great offering of snow related activities such as snowmobile, snowshoeing, backcountry-skiing and hiking, mixed with big lunches for a fun winter family day. Also this is the time when schools and universities have their winter break so it does get crowded!
August time to ski! The snow pack is for sure looking good with enough snow. Snow quality also is at its best for Patagonia. The larger crowds have returned home and the mountains are all yours to enjoy! This is the best month for alpine skiing and backcountry. All snow related tours are fully operational too. Snow does sometimes get to the city but it does not stay long. The temperatures in Winter are not too low so it melts quickly. If you rent a car, avoid downtown driving after a snow storm or big frost, people have amnesia and forget how to drive in those conditions!
We hope this was useful for planning your next adventure, feel free to contact us for any info or questions. Cheers!

Artist Roster & Press Kits
Four 80 East
Four80East is the brainchild of producers Rob DeBoer and Tony Grace, also known internationally for their indie label/production house, Boomtang. Born in 1997 as a small indie UK release, "The Album" went on to revitalize the Smooth Jazz world the following summer when the first single, "Eastside", broke through in the US to became the seventh most-played track on Contemporary Jazz radio that year.
Their sound lies at the forefront of what has been called the nu jazz movement – taking the best of contemporary jazz and pop styles and aligning them to produce a improvisational dance-infused sound. This Toronto-based group draws from a variety of sources to make their music happen, including found sounds, field recordings and sound effects alongside their finely crafted studio recordings.
As with many so-called "acid jazz" groups, their music is not clearly defined as smooth jazz or any other type of jazz for that matter. Four80East operates on a plane that expresses their own stylized ability under an umbrella of electrified and funky vibes. They have a pronounced R&B influence that fills in the layers between jazz and soul. Improvisational by nature, their recordings are filled with club-inspired beats, exotic rhythms and soulful melodies, some of which are tied to interwoven vocals. A unique sound that can only be described as "Four80East".
Don't let the title of Four80East's latest album Off Duty fool you—after over 20 years, veteran Toronto based composers and remix producers Tony Grace (beats and percussion) and Rob DeBoer (guitar, keyboards) are busier than ever, finding colorful melodic and grooving new twists on their trademark Nu Jazz vibe. While the titles of their previous hit albums En Route (2007) and Roll On (2009) reflected a dynamic high energy dance element in the mix—a sound they fully captured in their huge, award winning hybrid hit single "Noodle Soup"–Four80East is kickin' back and chillin' this time around with a fresh update on the classic acid jazz influence that drove their earlier recordings in the late 90s.
Not that the two multi-talented musicians couldn't use a break like the New York City cab whose neon "Off Duty" sign (photographed by DeBoer) glows on the album cover. After working primarily in the studio for the first 17 years of their eclectic partnership, they've been hitting the road regularly since 2007, mixing it up onstage with some of contemporary urban jazz's most popular artists at festivals and venues across the U.S. Since the release of Roll On, they've also expanded their longtime audio production business to launch Ooya, Inc., which focuses on TV and film composing. One of their long term gigs has been doing the music for Income property, a home improvement show on HGTV that debuted in 2009. Longtime fans of the duo know that their history includes recording their own albums as The Boomtang Boys, and producing and remixing for a variety of pop stars over the years as they built their film scoring resume
The duo originally launched Boomtang in 1990 as a 12-inch label, releasing club singles to the U.K. Their production of Camille's "Deeper Shade of Love" single won a Juno award in 1995 for best dance recording and went on to become the second biggest single at radio for Sony Germany. They showed a knack for hopping between genres by simultaneously earning a Juno nomination in the best R&B/Soul category for their production on Charlene Smith's "Feel the Good Times." In the 2000s, their expansive work flow included remixes and additional material for projects with Carol Pope, Billy Klippert and Kayle; co-writing and producing the film score and soundtrack for the Bravo film "When Moses Awoke"; and writing and producing for Fessional ("Summer Vibes," which went Top 30 at CHR Radio), Colette Baron-Reid, Ash Lee Blade (an up and coming heavy metal artist), Simone Denny ("Cliché," which hit #4 on Billboard's Dance Singles chart) and pop legend Melissa Manchester.

Baby Born From Transplanted Uterus (First Time in U.S.)
First Uterine Transplants in US Set to Begin
First U.S. Uterine Transplant Unsuccessful
Kidney Donation To Son Delayed Due To Father's Arrest
Debunking Myths About Organ Donation
Top 8 Medical & Tech Innovations of 2017
By Jamie Wells, M.D. — December 4, 2017
A baby was born from a living-donor's transplanted uterus for the first time in the United States. After a few false starts within Baylor University's landmark clinical trial, having three of four uterus transplants requiring explantation, this delivery affirms the surgery can yield a truly functional uterus.
Following in the footsteps of Swedish success in leading the charge, this achievement provides great hope for those with uterine factor infertility (UFI). UFI is diagnosed when a woman is born without a uterus or it has been irreparably damaged. For these patients, the prior path to parenthood exclusively entailed adoption or gestational surrogacy. With uterine transplant currently showing such promise, the notion of a women with UFI carrying her own biological child is being realized. Though still considered highly experimental, the procedure is considerably changing the game.
A number of clinical trials are underway in the United States with respect to uterine transplant. This innovative infertility advancement has met with the most success in Sweden. As of 2015, 9 uterus transplants were performed there, with 5 pregnancies and 4 births. Many of the donors were first-degree relatives (e.g. mother, sister) and it seems no deceased donor organs were utilized. Getting to that phase involved years of research and surpassing the challenges of initial problems with organ rejection.
The process is quite involved requiring jumping through many hurdles (as per Cleveland Clinic):
Be eligible (have UFI). Fulfill the clinical trial age requirements, screening processes & likely unanimous approval after multidisciplinary evaluation.
In Vitro Fertilization. Endure the process --to freeze embryos for later implantation--which includes: medical stimulation of ovaries for egg retrieval, many procedures, risks etc.
Find a donor.
Start anti-rejection medications and receive donor uterus (after removal of own, if present). Lengthy surgery with complexity.
After 12 months, once totally healed and without rejection, embryo is implanted.
Throughout pregnancy, very closely monitored for signs of rejection by high-risk team (e.g. monthly cervical biopsies, continuous intake of immunosuppressive drugs)
Delivery by C-Section.
Goal is 1-2 pregnancies then removal of uterus to minimize exposure to anti-rejection medications.
It is quite extraordinary Baylor's dedicated team and patients made this incredible medical breakthrough possible. With this and early success of the artificial womb, the fertility landscape seems wrought with innovation. The latter, though demonstrating positive results to date in lambs (not humans), could theoretically one day reduce co-morbidities and mortality in premature infants. Each is challenging the idea that what was believed to be impossible, could very well become reality.
It is an exciting time with uterine transplantation. But, only with the passage of it will we have a better understanding of any drawbacks for the fetus when it comes to being exposed to such immunosuppressive medications in utero. Or, any others. Prohibitive nature of costs, bioethical ramifications down the line and so forth will become a more meaningful part of the narrative as the many considerations evolve. Great reward often requires much risk. Too soon to tell.

JACS: Green tea extract can prevent Alzheimer's disease
Categories:Industry information
(Summary description)Green tea is often considered a healthy drink for the brain. The antioxidant and detoxifying properties of green tea extract make it effective in relieving many serious diseases, such as Alzheimer's disease. However, scientists still do not fully understand the molecular mechanism of its action.
Green tea is often considered a healthy drink for the brain. The antioxidant and detoxifying properties of green tea extract make it effective in relieving many serious diseases, such as Alzheimer's disease. However, scientists still do not fully understand the molecular mechanism of its action.
Recently, researchers from McMaster University have made a new breakthrough in this problem. Preclinical evidence suggests that the green tea extract EGCG can interfere with the aggregation of toxic substances, thereby inhibiting the decline in cognitive performance in patients with Alzheimer's disease.
"At the molecular level, we think EGCG is able to coat the surface of toxic oligomers, changing the way they grow and interact with healthy cells." The article's author, Professor Dr Professor from the Department of Chemistry and Chemical Biology said.
The results, based on a decade of NMR technology, were published as a cover article in the Journal of the American Chemical Society. The results may lead to the development of new drugs and treatments.
Despite decades of work in this field, the pathogenesis of Alzheimer's disease is still not fully understood, and the means of treatment are very limited. "We all know that there is no effective treatment for Alzheimer's disease, so the best way to deal with it is to actively prevent it. This means that using green tea extract can have an effective preventive effect before 15 to 25 years."
Next, the researchers plan to modify EGCG to make it a regular food additive. For example, at present, EGCG is not stable under normal temperature conditions, so it is difficult to be directly absorbed by the body.

Ocala's justly earned titles of "horse capital of the world" and "horse country" rest on the quality and abundance of our vibrant equestrian communities. For decades, Ocala and wider Marion County have been home to some of the best equine neighborhoods in the nation, offering a home to all breeds and levels of horsemanship. Whether you're a hunter-jumper, barrel racer, thoroughbred breeder, or just want a relaxing, beautiful place to trail ride, Ocala has a horse-friendly community that's perfect for your needs. Read on to explore some of the area's diverse equestrian communities!
The Meadowlands typifies what it means to live in horse country: rolling hills, green pastures, and sprawling oaks comprise the deed-restricted neighborhood tucked away in north Marion County. This diverse equine community contains thoroughbred farms, paso fino farms, hunter-jumper farms, carriage drivers, even mini-brahmas! The nearby neighborhoods of Cardinal Hill, and Winner's Turf are also excellent equine communities and all have access to beautiful riding trails. There is even an underground tunnel that allows safe access to Ocala Downs across Highway 441. Winner's Turf and its adjacent neighborhoods are located only half an hour away from downtown Gainesville and are close to historic Cross Creek.
This gated community in the heart of Ocala horse country contains some of the most beautiful horse farms in the area. Locally known as "Millionaire's Row", Hunterdon boasts a wealth of equine amenities including a community barn, two riding arenas, and beautiful bridle paths. Homes in Hunterdon range from from 2500 to 4000 square feet and parcels are available from 2.5 to five acres. It's the perfect place to experience the luxury and privacy of Florida horse country living without sacrificing the big-city benefits of nearby areas like Gainesville and downtown Ocala.
A neighborhood that really lives up to its name! Via Paradisus is a gated equestrian community located just across the street from Florida Horse Park in south-central Marion County that features gorgeous, oak-shaded drives and serene bridal paths. Parcels in the community are from three acres and up and most homes are built on elegant, old-world designs. A unique feature of Via Paradisus is its access to the Florida Greenway. Residents can access the trailhead from two private entrances, one specially designed for horses and one for vehicles. The private trailhead features fenced trailer parking, tie-outs, round pens, a wash area for horses, and a picnic pavilion. Another noteworthy element of the neighborhood is its one-of-a-kind entrance gate: built to resemble opulent 18th century French designs and created by metal sculptor Jack Klahm, it stands over 20 feet tall at the crown and allows wide passage for horses and cars alike.
For a complete list of equestrian communities in Marion County visit our Equestrian Communities Page.
Whether you want a small getaway for you and your horses, or dream of running your very own thoroughbred farm, Ocala has just the equestrian community you're looking for. Contact us and we'll put our team to work for you. We'll help you on your way to calling Ocala home!

Sea People Tidbit: Polynesian Poetry
Between 1852 and 1872, the Reverend William Wyatt Gill worked as a missionary on the island of Mangaia, the most southerly of the Cook Islands. Gill was an energetic collector of traditional Polynesian lore and a great admirer of what he called the "natural poetry" of "the Polynesian conception of things."
Here is a sample of his translations of several common Mangaian words and phrases. In Mangaian, Gill writes, the word for "chief" means literally the eye that sees in the dark;
"violent death" is eternal deafness
"humility" is to creep like the roots of a tree
"old age" is a mountaintop yellow with the rays of the setting sun
"a widow" or "widower" is only a bone
"a childless wife" is a foodwaster
"trousers" are covering for the pillars
"dawn" is the dividing of the dark shadow of night
"a waterspout" is a whirling, whirling of the sea
"a cyclone" is a turning upside down
"a victor" is to be standing on your feet
words are said to be eaten and the stomach filled with them.

Sea People Tidbit: The Flood
Many of the Polynesian flood stories collected in the 19th c. have overtly Christian overtones—only one man and one woman survive, they take their animals with them to higher ground, sometimes they are explicitly being punished. But a few flood stories were recorded that exhibit a different logic. In one, recited by a Tahitian tahua (priest) to an English missionary in 1822, the deluge is caused by an ocean god named Ruahatu-tini-rau who becomes angry when a pair of fishermen drop a hook on his head while he is napping in his coral grotto.
The god gives the fishermen time to get their families to an islet where they will be safe, but warns them not to delay. "I am vexed with you for disturbing me," he says. "I will not only pluck the tips of the branches . . . All Ra'iatea shall certainly be destroyed." There follows a quite amazing description of the coming of the great wave and the destruction it leaves behind.
"The Deluge" by John Martin, 1834. Oil on canvas. Yale University.
The fishermen paddle out to the islet where they wait, some in their canoes, some on the rock. Everything is perfectly silent. "All the birds, spiders, and insects, shadows of the gods, were caught up by their respective deities into the skies, for the emergency."
When the surge comes, they hear "the murmuring of the sea, the crackling of the branches of the trees . . . and the rattling of coral and the rushing sound of the confluent sea which covered the reef." All night the sea advances until the island is completely submerged. In the morning when they awake, the sea is "gliding out to the ocean," as "unrippled as though it had not just been wildly tossing."
The people looked toward the land and saw that the branches of the trees were all broken and uprooted, and the sea along the shore was mixed with debris from the soil . . . they saw slimy rocks, branches of coral, and dead fishes and shells of Mollusca scattered over the shore. . . . There were no houses, the temples had fallen down; there were no birds flying about, no pigs uprooting the earth, no fowls crowing, no dogs running about, and there were no fruits upon the clumps of trees. All was desolate, all was swept clean.
The story concludes with a vivid account of the famine that followed, during which the people ate "red clay with fish." But, eventually, the trees begin to bud again, "and then every kind of food came in its season."(See Ancient Tahiti by Teuira Henry, pp. 448-452.)

A new book featuring the research of scholars from US, Europe, India, among others, have traced the presence of Tamil community in Singapore and other regions of Southeast Asia back to 2,000 years. Co-published by Indian Heritage Centre and Singaporean-baed think tank Institute of Policy Studies, the book, titled 'Sojourners To Settlers - Tamils In South-east Asia And Singapore' explores the lesser-known aspects of the community's history and heritage, as well as examines the evidence of Tamil connections with the region, The Straits Times points out in a report.
These include the inscriptions on the Singapore Stone, which some experts date back to the 10th century. It was located at the mouth of the Singapore River before the British destroyed it in 1843. "Our early Tamil pioneers helped to shape the Singapore identity and laid the foundations of contemporary Tamil culture and practice," Singapore's Minister for Communications and Information S Iswaran said at the launch of the book on Saturday at the Asian Civilisations Museum.
The phrase "kesariva", identified in the inscriptions on the Singapore Stone suggest it could part of the word "Parakesarivarman" - a title used by several Chola dynasty kings. This suggests a Tamil presence in the Singapore Strait dating back 1,000 years. Over its two volumes, the book discusses topics such as ports and maritime routes connecting Indian kingdoms with South-east Asia and the literary similarities between Malay and Tamil.
"Colonial Singapore was a microcosm of India's diverse cultural background and landscape - its vast, seemingly endless range of sub-ethnicities and linguistic groups," Iswaran said in his address during the launch. "Tamil Singaporeans, who constitute a majority of the Indian population in our nation, are a vibrant and diverse community, who continue to play an important role in shaping Singapore's future," he added.

Lufthansa launches daily route from Bristol to Frankfurt
Lufthansa's Bristol to Frankfurt
Lufthansa has strengthened its commitment to Bristol Airport, commencing a regular service from Bristol to Frankfurt on 2 August 2021.
Lufthansa has strengthened its commitment to Bristol Airport, commencing a regular service from Bristol to Frankfurt on 2 August 2021. The route provides business travellers with increased opportunity to trade in one of the world's leading financial centres and opens the door for multiple onward connections for leisure travellers.
Frankfurt is renowned for its world-class attractions, including the opera house, Goethe Museum and the Deutsches Film Museum; culture seekers in particular can now take advantage of the convenient new services. The Lufthansa service between Bristol and Frankfurt will strengthen the South West's accessibility to German markets.
"We are extremely pleased to announce that Lufthansa will be operating up to four weekly flights from Bristol Airport this summer, and up to seven weekly flights starting in September," said Heinrich Lange, who has newly taken over as the Lufthansa Group Senior Director Sales for Northern Europe. "We look forward to connecting our passengers in Southwest England with our main Lufthansa hub in Germany. As one of the largest carriers in Europe, with just a short stopover in Frankfurt, our customers will have access to hundreds of connections to numerous destinations within our vast, global network."
The Frankfurt service demonstrates Lufthansa's commitment to the UK market and will provide increased connectivity to long-haul destinations such as Tokyo, Cape Town and Singapore. Supporting the development of tourism and business links between both markets, the service will also create additional employment opportunities.
"This is an incredibly exciting day for Bristol Airport and the region," said Dave Lees, CEO Bristol Airport. "Lufthansa is a major global airline and this decision shows confidence in air travel returning to normal. The regular scheduled service between Bristol and Frankfurt opens up a wide range of European and worldwide connections to our customers. Frankfurt is a great city whether for business or leisure and the link between Bristol and Frankfurt allows us to promote the South West and Wales region to inbound visitors from Germany and beyond. Today's service is a strong indication of the confidence in the region. We see great potential for this service and will work with Lufthansa on other exciting route opportunities in the future."

This article deals with how to use a Steinberg MR816X/CSX as a slave device connected via ADAT to a master device.
In this scenario, a 'master' device is connected to the compute while the MR is used as a 'slave' stand-alone unit. We will use ADAT / TOSLINK cables to send the signal from the stand-alone MR device(s) to the master device.
Install the latest TOOLS for MR.
Proceed in the same fashion for all ADAT pairs and correspondent MIC inputs as per the colour code in the screen-shot below.
Once set up, please close the MixDspFx, the current configuration will be saved.
Now you need to create the proper VST Connections (F4 or Devices -> VST Connections) in Cubase.
Create the desired amount of input tracks and assign them as needed, the analogue MR inputs will be available as the master device ADAT In.
