December 25, 2016: Chris Stamey's Occasional Shivers Radio Musical (Director's Cut) — Plus ¡Batalla de las Bandas!
Chris Stamey Occasional Shivers This is the "director's cut" of an original radio musical produced under the aegis of WUNC that was created by Chris Stamey as a WFMU exclusive.
@Uncle Michael: This is Chris Stamey's one-hour radio musical, played as a special holiday offering.
I see what you are doing here Gaylord… Hello!
Will we be seeing a cast list for this?
Gaylord, I hope you had a pie free holiday.
Happy Holidays Gaylord! Glad to spend radio time with you, you're such nice company--Cheers!
Hi, Gaylord and friends. How nice that you got some quality time with Keili tonight, wasabi-free this time.
Hi Gaylord, I'm happy I'm around to hear this!
Happy day two of Hanukkah @Jake Gould! Today I saw a menorah made out of bacon strips!
@Chop Scott: Happy holidays to you and yours! I'm happy you're here to spend time with us!
@Fox (Rā-chul): Merry Christmas, my friend!
@Webhamster Henry: The world needs more radio plays.
@Ken From Hyde Park: Keili's time in Japan has rendered her immune to megadosing wasabi.
@Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Happy to clear the path with the WFMU machete.
If ANYONE EVER needs a voice actor for a radio play, CALL ME!!!!!
I wish WFMU had a show just for radio-plays.
That is a really terrific idea.
@Fox (Rā-chul): You have what it takes! Let's write one someday!
WFMU Playhouse is a great idea, whoever said that.
Only if they're good like this though.
No, I mean, a show that plays pre-existing radio plays. Like Suspense, or Strange Tales, or The Man in Black!
Love radio plays too and wanna do 'em. Special effects are fun. Hahaha whatabout Unshackled??
There's modern stuff too, like the amazingness of Big Finish Productions.
This is great Gaylord--I thank you!
Oh man, I just found out about George Michael. So sad.
@cosmic matrix: I used to really enjoy Unshackled, even though I'm a heathen.
@sugarwolf: I just broke the news to Therese without knowing I was breaking it to her.
@Chop Scott: It's really good, isn't it? I'm glad you're enjoying it.
just tuned in. so happy to hear a story tonight. Thanks Gaylord!! & Merry Christmas to you!!
@Linda Lee: Glad I could share this with you! Merry Christmas and happy other holidays to you!
@Fox, yeah, ones that exist already. Older OR newer, either way.
Nice holiday wind down Gaylord.
I think there are 'Old Time' streams that do it...BBC4Extra has had '7th Dimension' SciFi I've picked up on sometimes. DJ Stashu here had 'Switchboard Infinity' - serialized SciFi.
A Merry, Merry Christmas to all. And special thanks for the holiday treats, DJ Gaylord!
I'll post complete credits later.
@P-90: Merry Christmas, and it's my pleasure!
I think the Vassar College radio station used to have a show that played old radio plays and serials.
Looking online, it looks like they still do!
@sugarwolf: Thank you for that info!
@sugarwolf - Yes, I was going to mention that WVKR still does that at 6PM or something on Sundays. Their polka show overlaps with Stashu, too.
@LindaLee: Yeah - but it's not super imminent, as the law goes.
right, no. you have time. not a pleasant thing regardless.
i've been there too, but without the legal protection of a lease agreement.
Merry Christmas Gaylord & all!
howdy. merry christmas, and happy all other religious, pagan and non religious holidays.
@Michael Shelley: Merry Christmas to you and yours, and thanks for hipping me to this radio play!
This is so good, Merry Christmas Happy Chanukkah! Yaaah Gaylord! ....Unshackled...yup.
@glenn: Last week's Winter Soul-stice was for the pagans, but this show is a bit more ecumenical.
@cosmic matrix: Hats off to Mr. Stamey for creating this!
it's a good one, as sure as god's got sandals.
@Uncle Michael: You mean for Disney, right?
missed the Soul-stice show! shame on me!
@Linda Lee: It's waiting for you, if you do that archive thing.
oh my of course!! :-D definitely checking it out very soon!
@Uncle Michael: That's the way of 21st century broadcasting. I'll expect my new speakers to arrive in the mail shortly.
Pay to play is the way!
i'm running my analogue stereo system with old KLH speakers. probably early 70s vintage. they're just excellent.
KLH was created by audio designer Henry Kloss, brilliant man.
...Still waiting to stop being fascinated (if not fixated) by the 1960s & all their changes. This was when I was born - w/ the arrival of The Beatles.
Such rich appealing voices in this production - it really has a texture.
born mid 1960 here & have some very vivid early memories of art, music, style, color. fantastic.
beautiful memories of nyc then also.
Film would be good too, I think.
i have Manhattan Towers right here on 78 rpm!
The PBS American Experience episode about 1964 comes to mind: before that they could pretend it was still the 50s, but not after...I haven't seen Madmen - & Lynch's 'Mullholland Drive' is about showbiz (albeit creepily)...Who's seen 'God Give Me Strength' about Songwriters? 'Shivers'' title track here is stunning...feel like I just saw a film.
Mad Men is all about the style. the look. very clean, very precise. aside of the visuals it could be any time at all.
the clothes & furnishings are the stars of the series.
Los Shakers sound like the Dave Clark Five!
@Rabbit: are you thinking of Grace of My Heart? film loosely based on Carole King.
The real question: Who is sexier? The Ringo Starr of Uruguay or the Charlie Watts of Uruguay?
i'm sure it's El Charlie, Jake.
just checked their photos. Los Mockers were sexier all around.
@Linda Lee: We're about the same age. I was born the summer of 1960, and being a curious child living through that era has definitely shaped my cultural worldview.
Someone asked the Ringo of Uruguay if he was a Shaker or a Mocker and he said he was a Shocker.
oh my! i'm summer too! July 13. yes, absolutely.
Shut down this thread; Uncle Michael wins the kewpie doll!
singer's behind the beat on the Paint It Black Cover. otherwise very good!
This is clearly a toss up--they both sound great.
yaa Sopes Y Gorditas !
& a Happy Happy Christmas to you Gaylord and one and All !
- a South American reinterpreting a Londoner reinterpreting an African-American...it's a beautiful world.
I do could lean towards Los Mockers for name alone.
Los Shakers have the energy to win!
They are great bands! Great originals in the styles too! The Beatle melodies-composing-arranging & singing is not easy to emulate - nor the Stones' drive & ensemble rhythmic unity - & swagger. Compares favorably to a lot of U.S. Garage Rawk - in terms of proficiency anyhow...tho' these were apparently top acts there?
I'm not voting till I hear from the Gerry and the Pacemakers of Uruguay.
i vote for los honeycombs.
Mockers guy does a pretty fair Jagger.
@Mr C: Merry Xmas to you!
How do you do the upside down exclamation?
amen Gaylord,, another most enjoyable Sunday Evening most of all Thank you !
Brilliant! Thanks again for being here on Christmas, with special treats, no less! "See" you soon, Gaylord!
Your (Uruguayan?) machete was indeed keen & effective GF - I Thank thee.

You are here: Home / Essential Oils / St. John's Wort Oil: Can it really cure depression?
Used thousands of years ago to cast away apparitions, St. John's wort oil and extract is most often used to treat depression. Does research back the use of it?
Can a plant that in ancient times was used to ward off evil spirits battle depression?
The research on St. John's Wort says yes.
St. John's wort oil comes from the plant, hypericum perforatum. As an herbal remedy, use of St. John's wort dates back to ancient Greece. Famous physicians and philosophers of the day, including Hippocrates and Pliny the Elder recommended for a variety of ailments. This includes high blood pressure, worms, wounds, menstrual pain, even snakebites.
Over 2500 years later, St. John's Wort (SJW) shines as a treatment for burns, cuts and anxiety. But where it really stands out is in treating depression. At least mild to moderate cases.
Other research suggests there's other benefits of SJW. This includes fighting cancer. SJW can also help with inflammation-related disorders. It's also beneficial for treating certain bacterias and viruses. It may even help prevent or help improve cognitive impairment disorders.
More on the research behind SJW in a bit, but first….
Where does the name St. John's Wort come from?
Ancient people thought SJW possessed protective properties. Particularly from demons. The ancient Greeks used SJW to dispel evil spirits. In fact, the botanical name of SJW comes from this superstitious belief.
Let's take a look again at the botanical name of SJW: hypericum perforatum. 'Hyper' means above. 'Eikon' means something akin to a ghost or spirit. Thus, above or powerful over an evil spirit.
But how did SJW get its name? When mixed with olive oil, SJW eventually turns red. Legend has it the bloody-looking oil was discovered on August 29. This is the day St. John was beheaded by King Herod in ancient Israel.
Another theory suggests the SJW plant offers the most medicinal effects if harvested on Saint John's Day (June 24). Ironically, St. John's Day is around the time when the plant's blooming peaks.
Is St. John's Wort a popular all-natural remedy?
SJW is very popular in Europe. In fact, pharmaceutical companies there use it in some of their drugs. These drugs are taken by millions of people on the continent. However, in the U.S., SJW is more common in supplements than medications. But there's a caveat to buying SJW capsules.
In light of this, you might want to buy a reputable brand of St. John's wort essential oil. More on this below.
Still, despite the cautionary tale of buying SJW pills, sales of it are huge. In fact, every year, sales of products with SJW extract run in the billions.
Research on SJW has exploded in the last few decades. The plant contains several medicinal compounds. But two are especially popular with researchers. These are hypericin and hyperforin. Hypericin is the main anti-depressant compound in SJW. Want to avoid buying worthless SJW capsules? And want the health benefits of hypericin and hyperforin? Saint John's wort oil contains both these medicinal compounds.
SJW offers numerous health benefits. But it's treating anxiety and depression that gets the most attention. Newer remedies on the market contain several amino acids from SJW. These aminos include cysteine, glutamine, leucine, lysine, and GABA. GABA is known as the calming neurotransmitter.
There are dozens of studies that look at how effective SJW is for depression. Naturally, some show better results than others. Some of the studies compare SJW to placebo. While others compare it to antidepressants.
Also, research shows SJW kills some bacteria and viruses. Moreover, this study also shows it inhibits tumor cell growth. Also, SJW may help treat Parkinson's and Alzheimer's diseases, says this study. And this research suggests it can treat opiate withdrawal symptoms.
Other recent research shows SJW can decrease oxidative stress. Oxidative stress leads to premature aging. Furthermore, it may also prevent neurotoxicity. SJW may even treat digestive disorders and reduce inflammation.
If you are going to take a SJW capsule, how much to take? First, find a reputable brand that actually contains SJW extract! As for dosage, a European commission recommends 900 mg of standardized extract per day.
Taking St. John's wort oil? Most essential oils range from 0.05% to 0.9% concentration.
According to this research on SJW, there are relatively few adverse effects. Especially when it's taken alone at the recommended dosage. However, if you're taking medications, be cautious. Adverse interactions with SJW and pharmaceuticals can and do occur. And that adverse reaction is the pharmaceuticals become ineffective. What happens is SJW causes enzymes to remove the drugs from the body. Or, SJW can metabolize the drug before it acts. This causes the prescription drug to become inactive.
In light of this, talk to a health professional before you start taking SJW.
Originally indigenous to Europe, St. John's wort plant now grows in many parts of the world. It's also known as klamath, tipton, goat or enola weed. St. John's wort plants live at least two years (thus, it's a perennial). But only if you take care of it correctly.
According to this gardening website, St. John's wort plants are vigorous growers. They actually can be invasive. In fact, California and six other western states consider it invasive. However, SJW plants are also excellent for erosion control. They are also effective for rock gardens covers or border plantings.
The plant itself produces bright yellow flowers. They have prominent gold stamens from summer to the middle of fall. One positive about SJW plants is they are deer resistant. And once established, they can thrive in drought conditions and poor soils. Want to grow SJW plants? Do it in full sun or at most partial shade.
TheGardenHelper.com recommends planting them in soil that can drain well. The website also says to prune it back hard in the spring. This will maintain compact growth. SJW's kryptonite is rust infections. Also, SJW can damage from thrips and scale insects. But they are easy to propagate with softwood cuttings.
As for SJW seeds? Sow them in spring or summer. You can do so a couple months before the first frost of the year. The soil temperature should be about 70 degrees. It takes about a month for the seeds to germinate.
As you can read above, SJW offers many health benefits. If you suffer from the blues, consider taking it daily. But many SJW supplements do not contain enough extract. In fact, some contain none at all. In light of this, St. John's wort oil is an easy way to reap the benefits, without worrying about subpar quality. Still, it's best if you find a reputable company that sells St. John's wort oil. You can even learn to make your own St. John's wort oil.
St. John's wort oil is earthy in scent. In addition to the benefits above, there are others from St. John's wort oil. It can bring balance and comfort to skin. It can increase circulation and relax muscles. Moreover, St. John's wort oil can help with bruises and scars. You can add St. John's wort oil to a carrier oil or massage lotion for overworked and tired muscles.
Inhaling St. John's wort oil may increase your focus and concentration. But without feeling hyper. In fact, if you add St. John's wort oil to a diffuser, it may help calm you down.
However, be careful with applying St. John's wort oil to your skin. In fact, St. John's wort oil can damage your skin if the oil comes in direct contact with sunlight.
Please recommend a good quality SJW oil to buy. Thanks.
We've had good results with the Herb Pharm brand.

On May 24, President Obama announced his intent to nominate Greta C. Holtz as the next Ambassador to the Sultanate of Oman. The WH released the following brief bio:
Greta C. Holtz, a career member of the Senior Foreign Service, Class of Minister-Counselor, serves as Deputy Assistant Secretary of State for Public Diplomacy and Strategic Communications in the Bureau of Near Eastern Affairs. From 2009 to 2010, Ms. Holtz was Director for Provincial Affairs at the U.S. Embassy in Baghdad. Previous assignments in Washington include Director of the Middle East Partnership Initiative in the Bureau of Near Eastern Affairs (2006-2007) and Coordinator for the Organization for Security and Cooperation in Europe within the Bureau of European Regional Political-Military Affairs (2004-2006). Ms. Holtz entered the Foreign Service in 1985 and has served at U.S. Missions in Saudi Arabia, Yemen, Tunisia, Syria, and as Principal Officer in Adana, Turkey.
She received a B.S. from Vanderbilt University, an M.A. from the University of Kentucky, and an M.S. from the National War College.

Ms. Holtz speaks Arabic and Turkish. If confirmed, she would only be the second female chief of mission to encumber the US Embassy in Muscat (the first was Frances D. Cook, a career diplomat assigned to Muscat from 1996-1999). She will succeed career diplomat, Dr. Richard J. Schmierer who was sworn in as Ambassador to the Sultanate of Oman on August 20, 2009.

Officially In: Alexander M. Laskaris – from Erbil, Iraq to the Republic of Guinea
May 31, 2012 By domani spero in Ambassadors, FSOs, Nominations, Officially In Tags: AIP Vet, Alexander M. Laskaris, Guinea, Patricia Moller, Provincial Reconstruction Team, Republic of Guinea, US Embassy Conakry
On May 24, President Obama announced his intent to nominate Alexander M. Laskaris as the next Ambassador to the Republic of Guinea. The WH released the following brief bio:
Alexander M. Laskaris, a career member of the Senior Foreign Service, Class of Counselor, is Consul General at the U.S. Consulate in Erbil, Iraq, a position he has held since June 2010. Previously, he was the Team Leader for the Provincial Reconstruction Team in Mosul, Iraq from 2008 to 2009. Prior to serving in Iraq, he was the Deputy Chief of Mission at the U.S. Embassy in Kosovo (2006-2009) and Burundi (2003-2005). Previously, Mr. Laskaris was a member of the U.S. Secretary of State's Policy Planning Staff (2001-2003) and Advisor to the U.S. Mission to the United Nations (1999-2001). Other overseas assignments have included Political Officer in Luanda, Angola; Political and Economic Officer in Gaborone, Botswana; and Vice Consul in Monrovia, Liberia. From 1996 to 1997, he served as Desk Officer for Rwanda and Burundi at the Department of State.
He received a B.S. from Georgetown University and an M.A. from the U.S. Army War College.
In addition to Kurdish, Mr. Laskaris speaks Albanian, Greek, Spanish, French, and Portuguese. He was born in Monterey, California and lives in Takoma Park, Maryland. If confirmed, Mr. Laskaris would succeed career diplomat Patricia Newton Moller who was appointed chief of mission to Conakry in 2009.
We have often been struck by the prior assignments of some our diplomats nominated for ambassadorial posts. Some have been able to skirt the war zone posts, or able to get stuck in Foggy Bottom longer than most or move through inter-agency assignments within the beltway. Mr. Laskaris on the other hand is on his second tour in Iraq, his third year in that war torn country. His list of previous assignments is a run down of places high on hardship and low on cushy-factor. Conakry will not be altogether different from his prior assignments; post is a 55% differential post (25% COLA + 30% hardship).

Marcie Berman Ries. Ries, Marcie Berman (Photo credit: Wikipedia)
currently Deputy Assistant Secretary of State in the Bureau of Arms Control, Verification and Compliance. From 2008 to 2009, she was Principal Deputy Assistant Secretary of State for European and Eurasian Affairs. Previously, she served as Minister-Counselor for Political-Military Affairs at the U.S. Embassy in Baghdad (2007-2008), U.S. Ambassador to the Republic of Albania (2004-2007), and Chief of Mission at the U.S. Office in Pristina, Kosovo (2003-2004). She has also served as Director of the Office of United Nations Political Affairs in the Bureau of International Organizations (2001-2003) and as Political Counselor at the U.S. Embassy in London (1996-2000). Other overseas assignments include posts to the U.S. Mission to the European Union in Brussels; Ankara, Turkey; and Santo Domingo, Dominican Republic.
She received a B.A. from Oberlin College and an M.A. from the School of Advanced International Studies at Johns Hopkins University.
If confirmed, Ambassador Ries would succeed career diplomat James B. Warlick, Jr. who was appointed to the US Embassy in Sofia in 2009.
On April 12, New Europe Online citing local media reported that Sofia has received a request for agrément for a new Ambassador to Bulgaria.
According to the television sources, it is very probable that Ambassador Warlick will leave the country before the end of his mandate of three years. BTV also announces that the person to fill the post of US Ambassador in Bulgaria is expected to be a former representative of the States in Albania who is now a civil servant. The Bulgarian television also clarified that according to the webpage of the American Embassy in Teheran, there were only two women to hold the position of Ambassador in the last 10 years, namely Marisa Lino (1996-1999) and Marcie Ries (2004-2007).
Looks like these folks have excellent sources. Last week, Ambassador Warlick tweeted this:
Ambassador Warlick assumed charge of the embassy on January 21, 2010. By the time the new ambassador is confirmed by the Senate, his tenure in Sofia will be closer to 36 months.
A side note on this appointment – Ambassador Marcie B. Ries is one half of a former tandem couple who went on to become ambassadors: Ambassador Ries as then US Ambassador to Albania (2004-2007), and her husband, Charles Ries as then US Ambassador to Greece (2004-2007). Ambassador James Warlick is also one half of a current tandem couple serving as ambassadors. His wife, Mary Burce Warlick is the current US Ambassador to Serbia.

While I've been on job training, house maintenance, vehicle restoration, food production and science sabbatical, Tenuc and Roger A have started an interesting conversation on the suggestions thread. I had reached a point where I couldn't see the forest for the trees, and have taken time off to do practical work I'd neglected while the science mulls over. I've also been reading Miles Mathis book 'Un-Unified Field' closely and I'll be formulating a post about planetary mass and charge when I can find time. Thanks to all for keeping this blog alive while I'm wrapped up in other affairs.

CRITICS OF "A Place In The Sun"
Clift's mesmerising, tragic performance only deepens with time.
Hopelessly inadequate as a reading of Dreiser's great novel, and as usual Stevens seems too preoccupied with the story's monumentality to have much curiosity about its characters.
Observer (UK)
George Stevens's meticulously observed 1951 version of Theodore Dreiser's massive 1925 novel An American Tragedy ...
Not Coming to a Theater Near You
The power of A Place in the Sun's plot, and its most noirish element, is its ability to force the viewer to unquestioningly follow this dream logic.
London Evening Standard
Stevens's unsentimental characterisation and the pair's fine performances make this one of Clift's most memorable films.
A good example of the kind of soporific nonsense that won rave reviews and armloads of Academy Awards back in the 50s, while the finest work of Ford, Hawks, and Hitchcock was being ignored.
Typically slow and stately in the later Stevens manner.
Gripping from first to last.
Most of Dreiser's acrid social satire is smoothed away by Stevens' grandiose style, and it's all too stately to be affecting.
EmanuelLevy.Com
Though not as powerful as Von Sternberg's first version, it still merits attention for the strong perfromances of Clift, Taylor, and Shelley Winters--and that mega clos-up of a kiss, which broke records of erotic imagery at the time.
One of the great studio dramas of the period and one of this column's favourite films, with haunting performances from Elizabeth Taylor and Montgomery Clift.

To Protect Her Dogs, She Built a Business
By Emily Frazier
Hundreds of small boxes and empty goggle frames litter the living room of Aiden Doane as she flops down on the floor next to her two dogs, Tuckerman and Yaz. They've just finished up "a jog on the pass" – Teton Pass outside of Jackson, Wyoming, where Doane's daily running, biking, and backcountry ski trails start above 8,000 feet. She is barely sweaty, her sunglasses pushed back over her chestnut ponytail, her 5-foot-2-inch frame the perfect picture of Wester-US fitness.
"Camo came in today," Doane motions around the room, referring to the 300 empty camouflage goggle frames. At first glance, they look like funky ski goggles, but upon closer inspection, one can see the straps are too short for a human head, and there are small clips in odd places. They are Rex Specs, custom goggles developed for dogs by Doane and her boyfriend, Jesse Emilo.
"It's been a challenge for me personally to say I make dog goggles – dog goggles are ridiculous," said Doane, 31, as she told the story of what has become her business. "I laughed when I looked at other dog goggle options for the first time. I thought, we're gonna make our dogs wear these things?"
Her dogs are a better indicator than Doane that they just finished a 6-mile run up a big mountain pass. They lay sprawled sideways on the cool floor, tongues hanging out of their happy mouths as Doane scratches behind their ears. According to Doane, Tuckerman "Tuck" is a 95-pound German shepherd mix, but he looks straight off the set of "Scooby Doo" with giant, great Dane ears and gangly legs that seem to stretch halfway across the room. Yaz, Emilo's 50-pound Alaskan sled dog, has wiry, short fur and is still sporting a pair of the reflective goggles with a blue frame, a fashionable match for her all-white body.
But Doane and Emilo, 33, didn't develop custom goggles for their dogs because they look cool.
The journey of Rex Specs K-9 started in March of 2013 when one of Yaz's eyes was becoming continually inflamed. In a town that nestles itself 6,000 feet above sea level, being so close to the sun was giving her blue eyes a sunburn. "She would come home at the end of day and not be able to open her eyes," said Doane.
Around that same time, Doane took Tuck to the vet and was told he had Pannus, a progressive, inflammatory disease of the cornea. She was given a choice by the vet: protect your dogs' eyes or leave them at home.
For two people who do everything with their dogs from fishing to skiing to running, leaving them at home was out of the question.
"Initiall, we bought some other dog goggles, but they didn't work; the dogs would be running through the bushes and the goggles just kept falling off," Doane said. "So we grabbed a pair of old ski goggles and started cutting them up to make our own eye protection."
Jackson is a town of less than 10,000 permanent residents, but it serves a bustling tourist industry during both summer and winter for outdoor enthusiasts looking to visit Yellowstone and Grand Teton National Park. And most people who live there permanently share the same love for the outdoors as Doane and Emilo. Once the dogs started wearing the goggles out on the trails, Doane said they became a conversation starter with anyone they encountered. "We thought, jeez, maybe more people need these than just our dogs."
Pretty soon, they had multiple requests from locals to outfit their dogs. Doane, a native Vermonter, had just finished up grad school in Colorado for Business and was searching for a job, figuring she'd find something in operational strategy and supply chain work. She'd come back to Jackson after meeting Emilo, and it was starting to feel like home for the couple, but anyone trying to eek out a living in Jackson will tell you it isn't the easiest place to settle down. The town continues to struggle to provide enough affordable housing for seasonal and permanent residents, and in a place that doesn't have much of a growing season and is tourist-centered, other living costs aren't cheap.
"The only way to make it in Jackson is to create your own opportunity," said Doane, who, along with Emilo, has always felt pulled toward the entrepreneurial world. "The more we looked at Rex Specs, the more we thought this might be 'it' for us." After finding an initial investor and coming up with enough cash to create a prototype and get a patent pending, they put in their first major order for the product, 500 units.
When asked if they want to sell Rex Specs because they look cool on the dogs, Doane is firm in her answer. "We'll continue in the short term to focus on the military and working dogs, to prove the functionality of the product and develop it for those users first. We want to make sure we're developing the product for a need rather than accessory." This better explains the choice of camouflage lens frames – it was a specific request from the military and working dog trainers they've been testing with.
That gets back to her own challenge about telling people her business is selling dog goggles and saying it with confidence. "OR [Outdoor Retailer, an outdoor industry conference in Salt Lake] was great and exhausting because of that – some people are almost rude about it. It's easy online, but harder to see some people walk by and roll their eyes and scoff and not even give me time to explain what the product is." She shrugs. "But that's the reality of putting a product out there."
Doane and Emilo are so serious about making the best product for working dogs that they frequently do impact testing on the goggles, since military dogs often encounter shrapnel and gunfire. The first time they did this, they went out in mid-February and shot a 20-gauge shotgun at a batch of lenses from different distances. "We wanted to see how they took the blast," said Doane. "They did pretty well but started to shatter when the lenses got colder – but that's typical given the polycarbonate material." They are now working with a professional firm to do the testing, but this kind of thinking is what makes Rex Specs different. The two are always brainstorming new tests they can run to determine how to better protect the dogs and how to ensure their product will continually evolve over time.
Doane has been shuffling through the boxes as she talks – hopping around the room with boundless energy, checking each of the frames to make sure they're up to her standards. After she finishes that, she'll go through the hundreds of black-tinted lenses that also came in. Emilo has arrived home from a carpentry job and curls up next to the dogs for a few minutes, then joins Doane in the quality control check. They'll work like this until close to midnight before heading to bed, Yaz and Tuck running in their sleep beside them, content with warm bellies and another day chalk-full of big adventures.

Taxes in Austria
Since the corporate tax rate was reduced to 25 percent, Austria has been catapulted into the top ranks of the world's most business-friendly nations. In the spring of 2019, the government announced a further reduction step-by-step from 2020 onwards.
Among the EU-15, only a few countries offer more favorable tax provisions. But Austria also performs extremely well in comparison with the new EU member states that are enticing investors with major tax reductions.
Effective tax burden
A comparison of the effective tax burden compiled by BAKBASEL and the Center for European Economic Research (ZEW) concludes that Austria continues to boast extremely business-friendly conditions within the EU despite massive tax competition from Eastern Europe. With a total tax burden of 22.4 percent, the taxes paid in Austria are lower than in Italy (23.1%), Germany (29.3%) and France (34.9%).
Corporate tax rates
The capital duty was abolished on January 1, 2016. Companies operating in Austria are only subject to a unified corporate tax of 25%. Taxes commonly levied in other countries, such as the trade tax or wealth tax, do not exist in Austria.
Double taxation agreements
Austria has concluded double taxation agreements with numerous countries in line with the example set by the OECD Model Tax Convention. This is designed to avoid double or multiple taxation of the same income in two or several countries. These agreements regulate which contracting state has the right to levy income taxes on the respective income.

individuate (v.)
1610s, from Medieval Latin individuatus, past participle of individuare "make individual," from Latin individuus "individual" (see individual (adj.)). Perhaps modeled on obsolete French individuer. Related: Individuated; individuating.
Entries linking to individuate
individual (adj.)
early 15c., "one and indivisible, inseparable" (with reference to the Trinity), from Medieval Latin individualis, from Latin individuus "indivisible," from in- "not, opposite of" (see in- (1)) + dividuus "divisible," from dividere "divide" (see divide (v.)). Original sense now obsolete; the word was not common before c. 1600 and the 15c. example might be an outlier. Sense of "single, separate, of but one person or thing" is from 1610s; meaning "intended for one person" is from 1889.

The last day before the opening – you can start to feel the energy building – The press center was jammed all day with people getting set for their opening day assignments. One of our duties is to make sure that all the photographers using our gear have a full understanding of how it works. These are world class photographers and you might think they are above last minute training but they are also very smart people and know that all new products have slightly different characteristics. We were asked to do a training for the US Presswire Sports Media Group and USA Today staffs. Mark Suban gave them a complete rundown on the New D4's that they are using.
After a full very busy day it was off to the Nikon opening party. A tradition for many past Olympics. The party is open to all shooters – Nikon or otherwise and there were plenty of photographers there that shoot the other brand. A very nice addition to the party. All Nikon staff was banded so it was easy for the guest to find a Nikon host.
A fun evening with lots of time to meet and great old friends. Below is Sara Moosbrugger – our Pro Market Rep in LA , Amanda Mohammed from our Canadian NPS operation, and Mark Suban our Pro guy in Washington DC – working out the finer details of the banding process.
The Gallery that was selected for the party was a majestic location. The festivities covered several floors and was a great location – easy for everyone to get to.
It was very nice to see so many of our friends there having a great time. Below is Bill Frakes and our Peter Broden from one of our European offices. Old friends catching up.


Bob Saget marries Kelly Rizzo in a beachside wedding.
Almost a year after their engagement, The Full House star married the TV personality and blogger. Saget (62) and Rizzo (39) said their 'I do's' on Sunday at a ceremony in Santa Monica, California.
Saget opted for a classic black suit while Rizzo looked absolutely gorgeous in a sheer lace gown designed by Pronovias.
This is Saget's second marriage and Rizzo's first. The comedian shares three adult daughters with his ex-wife, Sherri Kramer.


Showers Of Mercy Ministries International is a Bible believing church headquartered in Leeds, West Yorkshire, United Kingdom led by Senior Pastors Watson & Memory Maravanyika.
We are also found in Kenya, Zimbabwe, India, Malawi and the Philippines. We continue to reach different nations spreading the good news about our Lord Jesus Christ as He opens doors for us to fulfill our calling.
Ephesians 4:11 points out: "It was he who gave some to be apostles, some to be prophets, some to be evangelists, and some to be pastors and teachers." That is just the beginning of the ways we might be used to carry out the ministry of God. Some people have their ministry in music, others with children, some to specific groups like to people struggling with addictions, the sick, the homeless or to prisoners, but everyone has a spot to minister.
For everyone, the objective of ministry is the same – to save as many as possible for the Kingdom of God before Christ returns. The Bible says it in many different ways, but the message is always the same. The objective of ministry is: God is not willing that any should be condemned to eternal damnation in hell, but that all should be saved and have eternal life in heaven!

which while not as nice looking fixes your problem.
A more complicated solution that leaves your bgp_summary untouched would be a small modification to your for loop.
Instead of checking every line like this:
range(len(bgp_peers_list_raw))

You could exclude the empty ones at the start and at the end like this:
#2 empty lines at the start
#1 empty line at the end
range(2, len(bgp_peers_list_raw)-1)

Shire Finds Big Value in Rare Diseases, and a Strong Growth Path for its Boston Unit
Arlene Weintraub
@arleneweintraub
On May 11, Shire (NASDAQ: SHPGY) CEO Angus Russell told a panel of journalists at the Reuters Health Summit in New York that the British drug giant is interested in pursuing gene therapy and stem cells. Those are two areas of science that have yet to prove they can produce effective, innovative new therapies. Still, over lunch later in the day in midtown Manhattan, Russell made a strong case to me that Shire is finding tremendous opportunities on the fringes of pharmaceutical development. "You can't tar us with making the tenth me-too drug and trying to charge a bazillion dollars a year for that," he says. "We're not in that game. I don't condone that."
As proof, Russell pointed to Shire's burgeoning Boston unit, which makes drugs to treat rare diseases. Shire plunged into the rare-disease field in 2005 when it bought Cambridge-based Transkaryotic Therapies (TKT) for $1.6 billion. The unit, which recently moved to a large campus in Lexington, specializes in drugs to treat enzyme disorders, and it is responsible for some of Shire's biggest hits, including idursulfase (Elaprase) for Hunter syndrome, velaglucerase alfa (Vpriv) for Gaucher disease, and agalsidase alfa (Replagal) to treat Fabry disease.
Shire got a huge head start in Fabry disease and Gaucher disease back in 2009, when competitor Genzyme ran into manufacturing issues. The FDA had not yet approved Shire's products, but the agency gave the company permission to market them anyway, to help address the shortage resulting from Genzyme's troubles. "It accelerated the growth of that business," Russell says. All told, products emerging from the TKT acquisition now account for 30 percent of Shire's sales—up from 4 percent when the companies first merged.
Russell said he's amazed by how many drug companies are now embracing rare, "orphan" diseases, which they used to shun as lacking in blockbuster potential. New York-based Pfizer (NYSE: PFE) is among the ranks of Big Pharma companies pursuing new therapies for orphan diseases. "Things have changed," Russell says. "The classic pharmaceutical model was built around economies of scale, reach, global presence, and sheer size. Everything was focused on getting that physician to write that script."
Russell believes the new economics of healthcare are driving the drug industry's flight to the orphan-drug market. "The world is much more holistic now," he says "We have to factor in payers, we have to factor in the patients being much better informed because of the Internet, and then we've got policymakers that are aggressively addressing issues of cost." As a result, he says, "We're seeing the shrinking of that mass-marketing model."
Certainly the economics of rare diseases have been positive for Shire. On April 28, the company announced that revenues in the first quarter jumped 19 percent year-over-year to $972 million. Replagal sales skyrocketed … Next Page »

ATATÜRK BULVARİ
Highway linking the Golden Horn and Fatih
Sliced through the old city during Henri Prost's redesign in the 1940s, Atatürk Bulvarı is a busy traffic thoroughfare that links the Atatürk Bridge across the Golden Horn at Unkapanı with the Fatih district passing right through the Roman-era Aqueduct of Valens.
Although the traffic is offputting this is a part of the city which is home to several interesting historic monuments as well as several under-remarked public artworks. Its most important monument, though, is probably the Zeyrek Cami which began life as the Byzantine Church of the Pantocrator and has just undergone extensive restoration.
From Atatürk Bridge to the Aqueduct of Valens (east side of street)
Günsür's Atlar, 1967Of no great aesthetic interest, the 477-metre-long Atatürk Bridge across the Golden Horn opened in 1940. It was the fourth bridge to provide a crossing from Unkapanı to Azapkapı. The first, the Hayratiye Koprüsü, was commissioned by Sultan Mahmud II in 1836.
If you cross the messy road junction in front of the bridge Atatürk Bulvarı heads straight uphill from it. On the lefthand side a quick detour down into the sunken area beside the main road that leads through to Küçükpazarı will bring you to a mosaic named Atlar (Horses) by Nedim Günsür (1924-94) that rarely merits a mention.
Walking uphill you will pass a succession of concrete blocks housing commercial premises, many of them dealing with either music or upholstering fabric.
When you reach the Third Block it's worth diverting past the grave of İstanbul's first mayor, Hızır Bey (1453-58), and walking out the other side where you will find, behind a wall, the Church of St Mary, better known to İstanbullus as the Ayın Biri Kilisesi (First of the Month Church) because it's only open to the public on the first day of each month. People flock here to petition the icons for good fortune and in particular for fertility. Rather than just praying to the icons, some of them grouped around an ayazma (sacred spring) in the basement, visitors buy a dilek anahtarı (wishing key) which they rotate in gaps cut in the glass protecting the images.
Shortly afterwards you will pass the Şebsafa Kadın (Zeyrek) Cami, built in 1787 with a sibyan mektebi (primary school) attached to it. Behind it there's a fine view of the Süleymaniye rising up on the city's Third Hill.
One more vividly colourful mosaic lurks amid the unprepossessing İMC buildings. Designed by the poet-artist Bedri Rahmi Eyuboğlu (1911-73), it defies its lack of a title to evoke the Bosphorus wending its langorous way past the mosques and palaces of the city on a sunny day.
As you near the top of the hill the traffic is funnelled through a remarkable monument. The most conspicuous reminder of İstanbul's complex ancient water-distribution system, the Aqueduct of Valens straddles Atatürk Bulvarı as it nears Fatih.
Dating back to 375, the aqueduct, a double-tier of arches, still runs for almost a kilometre, and would originally have been attached to a network of pipes that conveyed water from the Thracian forests beyond Edirnekapı, along the ridges of the Sixth, Fifth and Fourth Hills, then on to Beyazıt Meydanı. It continued in use right through until the 19th century which accounts for its astonishingly good state of preservation.
If you continue under the aqueduct and turn left you will come to Şehzadebaşi and the great Şehzade Cami. If you turn right you will be able to walk up the Fatih Cami. Continue straight ahead and you will come out near Aksaray tram stop.
From Aqueduct of Valens to the Atatürk Bridge (west side of street)
Starting back downhill towards the Golden Horn from the aqueduct you will come immediately to the newly restored and many chimneyed Gazanfer Ağa Medresesi that until recently housed a museum of cartoons and humour. Sadly, since its restoration you can only peer through the gates at the locked medrese commissioned by the last Chief of the White Eunuchs to rule the roost in Topkapı Palace in 1599.
A side turning beside the medrese leads to a square surrounded by shops and restaurants that specialize in the produce and cuisine of the part of southeast Turkey around Siirt and Bitlis. Perhaps inevitably it is nicknamed Little Siirt (or the Kadınlar Pazarı) although officially it is Fatih Pazarı (Fatih Market).
The odd half-hour or so spent browsing shops that major on different types of cheese and honey from the east as well as on curious doughnut-shaped loaves of bread that must be rehydrated before use will be a winner for anyone with the slightest interest in different foods.
The square is centred on the Hüsambey Tezgarçilar Cami which is always very busy on Fridays. If you walk in front of this and continue downhill through the market parallel to Atatürk Bulvarı you will come to the Çinili Hamamı (Tiled Hamam, not to be confused with the one of the same name over in Üsküdar) that featured in Ferzan Özpetek's award-winning 1997 movie, Hamam. Slated for renovation, it was designed by Sinan in 1546.
Returning to Atatürk Bulvarı and continuing downhill you will see the curvy brick wall of the Byzantine Zeyrek Sarnıçı (Zeyrek Cistern). Unlike its fellows dotted about the city, this particular cistern was built overground. It has just been restored.
Immediately beyond the cistern are a group of government buildings housing the Sosyal Sigortalar Kurumu (Social Security Dept) that will certainly not appeal to everyone but are an award-winning example of the style of architecture known as Second National that was championed by architect Sedad Hakkı Eldem (1908-88). Look at them more closely and you may be able to recognise the way in which the overhanging roofs and other features reduce Ottoman stylistic traits to their simplest form.
On the hillside above the main road looms the Zeyrek Cami that started life as the Church of the Pantocrator in the early 12th century. It boasts a magnificent location on a bluff overlooking the Golden Horn. However, until recently it stood in a very poor neighborhood and was in an advanced state of dereliction, its magnificent mosaic floor hidden away beneath shabby carpets. All that is about to change, though, as the entire complex of two churches and a chapel is currently undergoing restoration. Once the covers finally come off, the Zeyrek Cami is likely to atttract far more visitors.
Don't miss the chance to sample the food of a remote part of Turkey that receives few visitors in "Little Siirt".
The most unmissable menu items are buryan kebap, a pit-baked lamb kebab usually served on a bed of pide bread, and perde pilav, rice baked inside an inverted fez-shaped pot with shredded chicken, almonds and tiny currants. Great places to try them out include Siirt Şeref (tel: 0212-635 8085) and Sur Ocakbaşı (tel: 0212-533 8088). Avoid Friday lunches when every seat will have been taken by hungry worshippers from the local mosque.
Zeyrekhane. The views from this upscale restaurant immediately in front of the Zeyrek Cami are stunning although signs forbidding non-diners to snap them are hardly welcoming. Tel: 0212-512 2778
Many buses from Eminönü pass up and down Atatürk Bulvarı although it's also a pleasant walk through Tahtakale and Küçükpazarı if you get off the tram at Eminönü.

MOUNTAIN PODIUM FOR THE WEE WIZARD
Alastair Seeley's British Supersport Championship sprint race podium in third place, was the pick of the results for EHA Racing at Cadwell Park over the weekend. The former champion did also post a fourth place in Sunday's feature race, with team-mate David Allingham also working hard in the BSB class, finishing just outside the points in both of Sunday's races aboard the CF Motorsport prepared EHA Racing Yamaha R1.
Alastair Seeley:
"We simply just didn't have the pace of the front two in Saturday's race for a number of reasons, and on Sunday we got caught up in a Supersport and GP2 battle for podium places and lost out after some hard moves. We are still struggling in a number of key areas and despite holding third place in the championship standings, we do need to show more at the front in the final four meetings of the season. These are circuits where I came into the team last year and won races, so fingers crossed we can work together to get the package back in the same ballpark as twelve months ago, then challenge the two blue bikes at the front for the top step."
David Allingham:
"I thought we could get away with less horsepower at a track like Cadwell and when I was on my own doing laps in qualifying, yes for sure you can carry more corner speed and not be too far away if you can create that perfect lap. But when you get caught in a group and someone on a stronger package can stop in the corners and power out, it leaves you a little frustrated; that's why I made a couple of mistakes trying to make passes. It's BSB, it's not going to be easy and I don't want to make excuses, but we need to find a little but more from the package for the last few races and start working towards some more points' scoring finishes."
Gail Allingham – Team Manager:
"We can't be too over critical as we have continued our podium run, but we have slipped off the pace of the front two in the British Supersport class, so collectively we need to look closely at how we can recover that coming into the last few weeks of the season. David is also visibly struggling in a number of key areas in the Superbike class and again, we need to be looking to get him back into an area where he can challenge for points, just like he was doing early in the season. Thanks to every one as always for the big effort. Next up is Oulton Park which has been kind to us in the past, so here's hoping for some top step success."
The next round of the British Superbike and Supersport Championship classes takes place at Oulton Park on September 6/7/8.

One of the most common questions that we get at Atlanta Dental Spa is, "Do you accept my insurance?" The answer to that is yes. We do accept all insurance plans as long as your specific plan allows you to visit an out-of-network provider.
We are not in-network with any insurance companies, so you will want to make sure your plan, possibly a PPO plan, will let you go out of network and will pay out-of-network dental offices.
Atlanta Dental Spa is Here to Help!
While we don't know exactly how much your insurance provider will pay for your specific treatment, we are able to call your provider, get a breakdown of insurance benefits, find out what they've paid in the past for similar services, and create an estimate for you.
We are a fee-for-service office, so our patients pay upfront at the time of the visit, and then we submit the insurance claims for you. After we submit the claim, the insurance company will reimburse you directly for however much they cover on the treatment you've received. Our dedicated Insurance Coordinators work diligently to make sure you're reimbursed for as much as possible under your specific plan.
As with many medical providers, our fees may exceed the amount insurance carriers pay. Every dental insurance plan has different stipulations regarding access to care and payment for services rendered. Within the same insurance company, benefits may differ depending upon what type of contract employers negotiate with that carrier on an employee's behalf.
Don't hesitate to talk to your dentist about financial concerns. If you have limited insurance coverage and don't want to go too far above that coverage ceiling, your dentist can prioritize your dental work so that it fits your budget and your dental coverage. If you've got a limit per year, your dentist can schedule your needs based on that limit and could suggest the most cost effective treatments possible. For example, if you want smile improvements but can't afford porcelain veneers, your dentist might suggest tooth bonding or Invisalign.
If some or all of the services you want won't be fully covered by your insurance policy, ask about dental financing. Atlanta Dental Spa offers dental options including interest-free financing, reducing the burden by giving you a small monthly payment to make instead of a large lump sum. Click here to see our Dental Financing page.
Before having extensive work done, consider approaching your insurance company with your quote for dental work to find out exactly how much will be covered. There may be areas you're not sure of and your insurance company can confirm how much they will cover. This way, you won't be left with any unpleasant surprises.

In a roasting pan roast the beef in the middle of a preheated 400 oven for 25-30 min, or possibly till a meat thermometer registers 120 . Let the fillet cold completely and throw away the larding fat and the strings. Skim the fat from the pan juices and reserve the pan juices.
In a heavy skillet cook the mushrooms in the butter over moderately low heat, stirring, till all the liquid they give off is evaporated and the mix is dry, season them with salt and pepper, and let them dry completely. Spread the fillet proportionately with the pate de foie gras, covering the top and sides, and spread the mushrooms proportionately over the pate de foie gras. On a floured surface roll 1 lb of the puff paste into a rectangle about "20x12 inches , or possibly large sufficient to enclose the fillet completely, invert the coated fillet onto the middle of the dough, and fold up the long sides of the dough to enclose the fillet, brushing the edges of the dough with some of the egg white to seal them. Fold the ends of the dough over the fillet and seal them with the remaining egg white. Transfer the fillet, seam side down, to a jelly roll pan or possibly shallow roasting pan and brush the dough with some of the egg wash. Roll out the additional dough and cut out shapes with decorative cutters. Arrange the cutouts on the dough decoratively, brush them with the remaining egg wash, and refrigeratethe fillet for at least 1 hour and up to 2 hrs. Bake the fillet in the middle of a preheated 400 oven for 30 min, reduce the heat to 350 and bake the fillet for 5-10 min more, or possibly till a meat thermometer registers 130 for medium rare meat and the pastry is cooked through. Let the fillet stand for 15 min. In a saucepan boil the reserved pan juices and the Madeira till the mix is reduced by one fourth. Add in the arrowroot mix, the broth, the truffles, and salt and pepper to taste and cook the sauce over moderate heat, stirring, being careful not to let it boil, for 5 min, or possibly till it is thickened. Loosen the fillet from the pan, transfer it with 2 spatulas to a heated platter, and garnish it with the watercress. Serve the fillet, cut into 3/4 inch slices, with the sauce.


Both Derby and I overdid things early this week, and I ended up cancelling my lesson last night. My entire body was sore from an ambitious workout, and Derby was sporting a fresh cut on his leg and a sore back, both most likely the result of playing too hard.
Tonight we reported for duty, and we were both feeling better, though as we warmed up, I could tell that my leg muscles were still going to pose a challenge. My legs felt really tired and the muscles were burning just a few minutes into the lesson. After a few more minutes, I told Christy that I needed to get off the circle we were working on, because I just didn't feel able to sustain the bend and all the corrections and adjustments necessary.
I'll remember this when he tells me he can't sit into collection in a couple years.
Nothing was going particularly well, and then things actually got a little worse when Derby spooked at some activity in the aisle. It was completely rideable, making for some funny video stills. And I got a much better trot out of the deal.
It was also an opportunity for me to "sit up and ride" as I used to when Maddie lost her marbles. And, as these situations are, it was a reminder that riding more purposefully and assertively yields results.
Well, at least he's round.
Until he pulled that crap again.
When he spooked again, I stuck my spur into his side and kept him cantering. He actually picked up the wrong lead, so we went around and around and (*kick*) around counter-cantering. I was just hell bent on keeping him going, because, as Christy says, if you have the energy to spook, you have the energy to work. On a positive note, I supposed, Christy said the counter-canter was nicely balanced and he held it for a while. At this point, second level is light years away so I'm not too worried about this at the moment. We transitioned into a trot, and I kept him going some more.
He's like a drama-queen tween, intent upon looking good while making a scene.
At this juncture, we finally got some nice work. Derby was really on my aids, and was electric and forward. He felt fantastic. And despite the nonsense, I felt good and in control pretty much the whole time. He came right back to me after each bout of the stupids, which is the outcome I prefer.
However, at this point, I was about to slither from the horse. I was worn out – my leg muscles were completely shot. Not sure how I'll feel tomorrow – I'm taking some Advil and hitting the sack!
