With increasing attention on the developmental causes of neuropsychiatric disorders, appropriate animal models are crucial to identifying causes and assessing potential interventions. The common marmoset is an ideal model as it has sophisticated social/emotional behavior, reaching adulthood within 2 years of birth. Magnetic resonance imaging was used in an accelerated longitudinal cohort (n = 41; aged 3-27 months; scanned 2-7 times over 2 years). Splines were used to model nonlinear trajectories of grey matter volume development in 53 cortical areas and 16 subcortical nuclei. Generally, volumes increased before puberty, peaked, and declined into adulthood. We identified 3 milestones of grey matter development: I) age at peak volume; II) age at onset of volume decline; and III) age at maximum rate of volume decline. These milestones differentiated growth trajectories of primary sensory/motor cortical areas from those of association cortex but also revealed distinct trajectories between association cortices. Cluster analysis of trajectories showed that prefrontal cortex was the most heterogenous of association regions, comprising areas with distinct milestones and developmental trajectories. These results highlight the potential of high-field structural MRI to define the dynamics of primate brain development and importantly to identify when specific prefrontal circuits may be most vulnerable to environmental impact.
Developmental epochs in the life of the marmoset with broadly homologous periods in the human lifespan for comparison.
Growth trajectory modeling using total intracranial volume (TIV) for illustrative purposes. The effect of subject is modeled as an additive constant to the growth trajectory which is fitted with B splines. Raw data (A) is shown with subject effects (i.e., the mean of each subject trajectory) removed (B) and the fitted spline in (C). The basis functions for this curve are shown in (D), each is adjusted to best fit the data. As each adjustment is local, it only has an effect in its vicinity or "knot." The spline derivative is shown in (E), highlighting the rate of change of TIV. Vertical lines shown in (C) and (E) indicate how a zero in the derivative corresponds to a maximum volume (6 months) and how the minimum of the derivative curve (at 15 months) coincides with the greatest rate of volume loss in (C). The functions used here were based on a penalized spline calculated with a constant smoothing factor. Gradient descent with linear least squares minimization was used to fit the additive model, iteratively updating subject offsets and spline coefficients to minimize the squared errors.
(A) Ages of each marmoset scanned. (B) Total body mass. (C) Intracranial volume. (D) Total grey matter volume. (E) Total white matter volume. The solid vertical line marks the mean age of puberty in the animals for reference.
Sections from mean templates of animals produced at regular intervals from 3 to 21 months, from prepuberty, through puberty and postpubertal stages from left to right. With the imaging parameters chosen, WM yields the darkest intensity, followed by GM and then CSF yields the brightest. Changes in WM are apparent at each age point: not only does it appear markedly thicker, but darker with time. Visually it appears to increase in volume at the expense of surrounding GM. Marked increases in white matter include that within the prefrontal cortex (coronal sections: top row), internal capsule (middle row 2) and corpus callosum (bottom row) and the anterior commissure (horizontal sessions: top row) and visual cortices (bottom row). Changes with age are readily appreciated visually with the simulated development movie (). Coronal sections are taken at 14, 6, and -2 mm from the intra-aural line, horizontal sections at 0 and 3.5 mm from the AC–PC line, indicated at the 12 m template. Scale bar is 5 mm.
Tensor-based morphometry results showing regions where volume increases or decreases between different stages are not explained by TIV changes. The color bar shows Student's T-score and all changes shown are significant at an adjusted threshold for P < 0.05 (false-discovery rate; 2-tailed). The scale bar shows 5 mm. The top row of each timepoint shows coronal sections (slices progressing anterior to posterior) and the second row shows axial sections (superior to inferior).
Growth trajectories from fitted splines for primary visual cortex and orbitofrontal area 13 to illustrate milestones of development. The shaded region shows the 95% bootstrap confidence interval for the curve. The initial growth peak I) is the first maximum seen and the plateau end II) occurs when the 95% confidence interval for the rate of change no longer includes zero. The maximum rate of change following the growth peak defines stage III). These features can be seen most clearly in the first derivative curves, which display the rate of change of volume as a function of age. The first difference of note in the growth trajectories is the time at which each region reaches its greatest volume (milestone I); 4.98 months for V1 and 6 months for area 13. In V1, there is only a short period of approximately 1 month, before the onset of volume decline at 6 months (milestone II). In contrast, the peak volume of area 13 remains unchanged for approximately 6 months before starting to decline at 12 months. 3D reconstructions show the age at which these features occur for each cortical and subcortical region.
Cortical clustering by trajectory. (A) shows 6 clusters found by k-means clustering. (B) The clusters are well-differentiated when considered in a 3D space formed by the milestone markers of Figure : the age of peak grey matter volume, the age at onset of grey matter volume decline, and the age at which the volume loss is a maximum. (C) the mean trajectory for each cluster is shown, with the shaded region indicating a 95% bootstrap confidence interval.
Alluvial plot showing how clusters evolve from k = 2 to k = 6 and k = 10. At k = 2, the cortex is subdivided into one large predominantly prefronto-temporal family of areas (cluster 1: areas which have relatively delayed onset of peak growth, a more prolonged plateau period before the onset of volume decline, and a later age at maximum volume loss), and one large predominantly occipito-sensorimotor-parietal family of areas (cluster 2). Greatest heterogeneity in terms of distribution across clusters is seen among the prefrontal cortical structures (marked with *). Coloring depicts the k = 6 cluster solution. Pale blue (6): lateral and inferior temporal lobe. Green (5): ventrolateral PFC, polar, operculum, and insula cortices. Purple (4): orbitofrontal, dorsolateral and ventromedial prefrontal cortices. Yellow (3): auditory‐visual. Orange (2): somatomotor. Dark blue (1): visual and cingulate cortices: Note that the 2 prefrontal clusters (green, 5 and purple, 4) split into 3 additional clusters between k = 6 and k = 10 such that at k = 10 prefrontal/cingulate regions contribute to clusters 2, 4, 6, 7, and 8.

About Theatertreffen Open Calls The 10 Selected Productions Jury
Stückemarkt International Forum Theatertreffen-Blog
Team Partners Publications
© Eike Walkenhorst
There's no fake new here! Selected young arts journalists, photographers, video journalists, bloggers and radio journalists cover the Theatertreffen on www.theatertreffen-blog.de.
The Theatertreffen-Blog
Days will turn into nights and nights into days for the editorial staff of the Theatertreffen-Blog. Five to seven young arts journalists with various fields of expertise and focuses will provide swift and critical on-site coverage of the Theatertreffen with the support of experienced mentors. They are not only busy writing reviews and keeping a critical eye on the festival from a wide range of angles, but also concerned with developing new formats, working together as a close-knit editorial team and honing their own journalistic skills. Potential participants can apply to take part in the Theatertreffen-Blog following an open call which is posted at the end of each year.
Relocating the festival newspaper – which was produced from 2005 to 2008 in cooperation with the Berliner Zeitung – to the internet expanded the reach and transparency of the festival's coverage: discussions on the productions invited to the festival could be followed independently of time or place, and audiences were able to contribute their views via the comments section. The expansion of the call for submissions to include not only German but also English-speakers participants led to a more international tenor in the debates. And not least of all, requiring participants to have their own blog produced a selection of contributors who were already active online.
The TT-Blog has developed into its own independent digital brand, and was linked by Guardian Online, nachtkritik.de and the feminist blog maedchenmannschaft.net, among others, as an original source. The TT-Blog's media partners include the "Berliner Zeitung", "EXBERLINER", 3sat/Kulturzeit, kultiversum.de, "Theater der Zeit", ZEIT ONLINE and blogger Mary Sherpe from http://stilinberlin.blogspot.com as well as Johanna von Stülpnagel from http://redenswinger.de/blog. These partners have given staff support to the blog editorial team and its work by releasing journalists from work to act as mentors, media support in terms of linking, and content support through their own reviews and postings.
From 2011 to 2015 the TT-Blog was funded by the Rudolf Augstein Foundation. Since 2016 the TT-Blog has been funded by Stiftung Presse-Haus NRZ.

Why did they get rid of the Agape, CC Cafe and Upper Room chat rooms?
You would have to ask Robo that question directly..
Keep in mind the entire site, chat rooms included, are still being caught up since the move. So not Every change is set in stone.
But if the room changes are permanent it's likely due to a lack of use of the rooms. Its an old problem. Provide various rooms and the majority of all users stay in the same few rooms and ignore the rest.

The subversive spirituality of Dylan in the '80s
John J. Thompson • May 2, 2014
The multi-artist tribute album Bob Dylan in the '80s revisits a Dylan changed by faith, yet determined to keep speaking truth into the culture.
When done well, multi-artist tribute albums can be revelatory, inspiring and fun. Such is the case with Bob Dylan in the '80s: Volume One, which pairs contemporary hipster artists with the least hip era of Dylan's career.
This may be perceived by some as just one more example of postmodern irony, but for those with ears to hear, the majesty of the master's songs comes ringing through. As has so often been proven true, in the end Dylan wins.
Dylan entered the 1980s as a firebrand Gospel singer, but he eventually rediscovered the subversively spiritual voice that had served him so well prior to coming to Jesus. Too many rock critics and historians refer to his "Christian phase" as lasting from 1978 to 1982 and encompassing only three albums. It has long been my opinion, however, that a subtle but tenuous thread of faith permeates all of his '80s material. T-Bone Burnett, who played in Dylan's Rolling Thunder Revue band in the 1970s as Dylan was embracing Christianity, once said that as a believer one could sing about the light, or about what he sees because of that light. Dylan did the former for three albums - and many of those songs are featured on this set - and he did the latter from that point forward. Songs from throughout this transformation are represented here.
Standout cuts include the sublimely chilled-out version of "Covenant Woman" by Hannah Cohen, an emerging folk artist I will certainly be listening to more of this year. There's also a predictably solid rendition of "Pressing On" by Glen Hansard (The Frames, Once, Swell Season). The album kicks off with a rollicking shuffle through "Got My Mind Made Up" by Langhorne Slim & The Law and an excellent take on one of my all-time favorite Dylan tunes, "Jokerman," by indie stalwarts Built To Spill. Craig Finn of The Hold Steady zeroes in on the heart and guts of "Sweetheart Like You," a song I always suspected might actually be about the Bride of Christ. Blitzen Trapper uses what sounds a lot like a recycled and inverted sample from their latest single, "Shine On," as the backbone for their version of "Unbelievable."
I have long identified with this version of Dylan: changed by faith and yet determined to keep speaking truth into the culture.
There are some weird moments too. Irreverent musical comedian Reggie Watts completely messes up "Brownsville Girl," turning it into a barely recognizable dancehall reggae experiment. Aaron Freeman and Slash send up "Wiggle Wiggle," removing the snarl completely. Why this song, from 1990's Under the Red Sky, made the cut while there is nothing from Dylan's amazing 1989 record, Oh Mercy, is a mystery. Yet even the songs that don't really work on their own succeed in demonstrating that although Dylan's production choices in the '80s may have been dubious at times, his songwriting remained transcendent, inscrutable and thoroughly engaging.
The more I listen to Bob Dylan in the '80s the more I like it. I have long identified with this version of Dylan: changed by faith and yet determined to keep speaking truth into the culture. There's plenty more material lurking in his '80s catalog for today's audience to discover, too. Here's hoping a Part Two is around the corner – a song-by-song meditation on Oh Mercy, perhaps?

Rare thing, true grit is. What I mean to say is that people willing to play for blood are few and far between. Not you though. There ain't a drop o' blood you ain't willing to wager with. Yours, mine, anyone that get's in the way. Me either. I'll sure as all hells miss you when you're dead. Now, fill your hands!
The Doyle gang are the most notorious group of killers in the borderlands. They've defied every lawman, bounty hunter and Ram's men sent after them so far. In fact, the only authority they do bow to is Bart Stark and only until they can work up the mettle and the firepower to challenge him as well.
Spirel has been waiting for a Hero bold enough to finally take up the cause and hunt Bohannan Doyle and his gang down. The Doyle's have been terrorizing the borderland townships near Iron Reach for weeks now and somewhere up in that frozen wasteland is where they can be found. A final confrontation needs to take place and it can end only one of two ways. With another dead hero or Bohannan Doyle in a coffin. Spirel prays for the latter but that prayer has been unanswered thus far.

Breaking News: Another heavy death toll from a conflict in eastern Ethiopia
Addis Abeba, September 01/2017 – Intense fighting between the Ethiopian Somali and the Oromo ethnic groups in the eastern Ethiopia has left "more than 30 people", including "more than a dozen army members", dead and several others injured, Addis Standard learned.
According to three residents of Mieso town, west Hararghe zone, who contacted Addis Standard late this evening, today's fighting in and around the town was between several members of local residents and heavily armed members of the "Liyu Police". "We couldn't take the killings our men, the raping of our girls and the lootings of our cattle by bandits openly supported by the Liyu Police," wrote Abdulatif Kererro, a resident of the town in his message. A similar attack has left seven civilians dead last week in Chinakson in east Hararghe and its environs.

Addis Abeba, August 30/2017 – At a day-long forum held at the UN conference center on Tuesday August 29 under the theme "Ensuring Creative Innovative Spaces for Youth Engagement in Ethiopia", three 17 year-old student innovators who traveled from Kombolcha, about 255 Km North–East of Addis Abeba, became the unexpected spotlight of the show. The three young creative (and curious) students: Nuru Jamal, Anwar Wudu, and Fikir Legesse, have showcased their hand-made products that include, among others, a solar operated water pump, FM broadcaster, a helmet with a fan, a spy robot, a traffic jam censor (and yes, a web browser that doesn't recognize Facebook!), to a roomful of applause and admire.

Q: super.init en Swift Estoy aprendiendo a hacer herencias de clases, y hay algo que no entiendo.
Primeramente, os enseño el código.
class Persona {
var edad : Int
var nombre : String
var telefono : Int
init(edad: Int, nombre: String, telefono: Int) {
    self.edad = 0
    self.nombre = nombre
    self.telefono = 123456789
  }
}

class Cliente: Persona {
var credito : Int
init(credito: Int) {
    self.credito = 0
    super.init(edad: <Int>, nombre: <String>, telefono: <Int>)
  }
}

Pues bien, al escribir en la subclase el super.init, Xcode me avisa de que tengo que darle los parámetros, cosa que quisiera dárselos al crear un objeto de la subclase. Si lo intento crear:
var unCliente = Cliente(credito: Int)
sólo me deja darle el parámetro crédito y no los parámetros de la clase madre Persona.
Entonces mi pregunta es la siguiente: ¿debo darle los parámetros al crear la subclase?
¿Es posible hacer lo que intento?

A: En el init de la clase Persona, a menos que quieras tener un valor por defecto creado con esos datos o lo puedes cambiar a:
init(edad: Int, nombre: String, telefono: Int) {
    self.edad = edad
    self.nombre = nombre
    self.telefono = telefono
}

Cuando creas un objeto de tipo Cliente y quieres inicializar la super clase, debes agregar los parámetros en el init de la clase hija:
init(credito: Int, edad: Int, nombre: String, telefono: Int) {
    self.credito = credito// Le cambié por = 0
    super.init(edad: edad, nombre: nombre, telefono: telefono)
}

Ahora veamos como funciona:

*

*Creamos un objeto de tipo array de Personas:
var persona: [Persona] = []

*Creamos dos objetos de tipo Cliente:
let cliente = Cliente(credito: 10, edad: 36, nombre: "Juan", telefono: 955)
let cliente2 = Cliente(credito: 20, edad: 26, nombre: "Pedro, telefono: 789)

*Como cliente hereda de persona, podemos agregar los clientes en el array de persona porque ya inicializaste la super clase en el init de la clase hija:
persona.append(cliente)
persona.append(cliente2)

*Si imprimes los nombres tanto de los objetos de Persona y Cliente puedes comprobar que son los mismos:
print(persona[0].nombre) //Juan
print(persona[1].nombre) //Pedro
print(cliente.nombre) //Juan
print(cliente2.nombre) //Pedro

Si no quieres tener el init en Persona, puedes agregar los valores de la super clase al momento que la inicializas en la clase hija.
class Persona {
    var edad : Int = 0 //Defines valores porque la clase no tiene inicializador
    var nombre : String = ""
    var telefono : Int = 0
    init() { }
}

Puedes llamar a esos atributos desde la clase hija después de inicializar la super clase con:
super.nombre_del_atributo

Quedando así la clase hija:
class Cliente: Persona {
    var credito : Int
    init(credito: Int, edad: Int, nombre: String, telefono: Int) {
        self.credito = credito
        super.init()
        super.edad = edad
        super.nombre = nombre
        super.telefono = telefono
    }
}

El resultado es el mismo que en el numeral 4. de arriba.

Q: N-channel jfet fixed bias with high gain = 200

simulate this circuit – Schematic created using CircuitLab
I would like to know if it is possible to produce an n-channel jfet connected in fixed bias configuration with a high gain of 200. If so, can you please give me a part number or a circuit diagram? The criteria are as follows:
Amplifier type:FET n-channel
Configuration: Common source fixed biasing
frequency range:100Hz-1MHz
Input signal:35mV,Rs=2kohm
midband gain:200

A: The forward-transconductance of the JFET defines how many amps flow through the drain for each volt you input to the gate. The 2N3819 it has a typical value of about 4000 but, according to the Fairchild data sheet this can be as low as 2000 or as high as 6500.
Using the 4000 figure, this translates to 4000 uA/volt or 4mA per volt. If you bias your amplifier appropriately for quiescent dc conditions and you apply a small input voltage to the gate of (say) 0.1V p-p, the drain current will move up and down by +0.2mA and -0.2mA from its nominal quiescent dc value. Because your circuit shows a 10k drain resistor, this current modulation converts to a voltage of 2Vp-p hence you have a gain of about 20.
But you see a gain of 30 and this means the transconductance is closer to the top figure of 6500.
Supposing you made the 10k drain resistor 100kohm - this would translate to a voltage gain of 200. This sounds OK but will it work at 1MHz? The answer is "no" because, the jfet has parasitic capacitances that will severely take advantage of such a high value resistor in the drain. The 2N3819 is quoted as having a reverse transfer capacitance (on the Fairchild data sheet) of 4pF and this will cause the amplifier to have a 3dB point at about 400kHz.
But, running the JFET at these extremes is really difficult in terms of board layout and interfacing. Imagine connecting your oscilloscope to the output - immediately you have added a few more pF and suddenly your bandwidth is 200kHz. However, this isn't the end of the story....
Output Conductance is quoted at 50 micro-siemens and when translated to output resistance this is 20k ohm. Here's another limiting factor - no point going much above 20k in the drain because the inherent slope of the drain voltage versus drain current is 20k ohms.
I'd like to see what simulation results predict for the 100k drain resistor - I'm just doing some simple math on numbers from a data sheet and there may well be other factors I haven't considered. I normally simulate so I'm a bit rusty on this type of exercise.
BF513 has a low capacitance of 0.3pF and a Gm of 7000 so maybe this is a better choice BUT... it has an output conductance of 90 uSiemen or 11k ohms.
You have to interface the output to a circuit that will add a "load". The load will likely hurt the circuit performance above 100kHz but the biggest problem I think you face is finding a JFET with an output conductance of less than 5 uSiemen (equiv. to 200kohm)

A:
I would like to know if it is possible to produce an n-channel jfet
  connected in fixed bias configuration with a high gain of 200.

For your circuit, the product of the small-signal transconductance and drain impedance at the operating point set an upper bound on the voltage gain.
Using the numbers @Andy aka provides:
\$A_v < 20k\Omega \times 6.5 \frac{mA}{V} = 130\$
Since your drain resistor and load are in parallel with the small-signal drain impedance, your circuit gain must be less than this upper bound.
So, as a first step, you must select a transistor with maximum possible voltage gain quite larger than 200.

A: In your criteria list, you say Rs=2K.  If this is the series resistor (not shown in your schematic) in the source leg of the JFET, then the circuit will be biased OK, sort of.  The output (drain) will be at ~10V DC.  The gain will be dominated by the ratio of the load to source resistors, or 10k/2k = 5.  The simple way of getting more gain (not sure that you can get >100) out of a single stage is to use two series resistors in the source leg to GND.  The sum of the two will be 2k to keep the DC bias the same.  The mid point of the resistors should have a cap to GND.  The cap impedance at 30kHz should be low relative to the upper (gain setting) resistor. Suppose top resistor is 200 ohms and bottom is 1800. Then the gain is 50.  1uF might do.

Media Personnel And The Psychological Effects Of Disaster
Journalists are certainly no strangers to disaster, as many have witnessed floods, fires, earthquakes, car and plane wrecks, and wars-the horrors of Bosnia, Cambodia, Rwanda (to name a few). Having a front-row view of the ravages of Mother Nature or the cruelty that can overtake human beings in the midst of warfare often takes its toll.
The word "disaster" is derived from Latin and translated, means "the stars are evil". And if, indeed, the stars are evil, how are we to live in a world where evil rules? Our normal senses of self-esteem, personal control, and optimism about the future may flounder in the face of a disastrous event, as does our sense of coherence in a meaningful world.
When the disaster results from a terrorist attack, an act of man rather than an act of nature, the sense of purpose in life that is necessary for health and well-being dissipates. For Americans, and in particular for broadcast crews deep in the center of the horror, the attacks on the Pentagon and the World Trade Center, with their exposure to an unprecedented level of human suffering, have been particularly devastating. The enormous amount of damage and loss of life is something that, before September 11, happened in other countries. The attacks, taking place on our own soil and targeted at symbols of American might and commerce, have shattered our assumptions about life and shaken the sense of security that most of us take for granted.
Disaster trauma is the state of severe fright that we experience when we are confronted with a sudden, unexpected, life-threatening event over which we have no control and to which we're unable to respond effectively no matter what we do. States of helplessness and powerlessness are sometimes unbearable, especially for people in professions such as broadcasting, whose jobs often depend on staying calm, controlled, and level-headed in difficult circumstances, or for people who may become retraumatized if they grew up in dysfunctional, abusive homes in which powerlessness, fear, and helplessness were daily experiences.
Some people begin to unconsciously assume that because they could do nothing about the traumatic event, they can do nothing about other life events. They lose the capacity to appreciate the connection between their actions and their ability to shape the world to get their needs met. The latest diagnosis "de jour" in the psychological community is PTSD (Post Traumatic Stress Disorder). It was the term initially applied to the particular emotional symptoms experienced by many Vietnam vets and, since then, has been applied to describe those suffering severe emotional distress from a panoply of harrowing events-rape, sexual abuse, airplane crashes, physical abuse, family alcoholism, and others. Although arguably, more than in any other profession, members of the media are often witness to the most intense forms of human tragedy and atrocity, there has not been much research in regard to this group's susceptibility to PTSD. PTSD has a distinct series of symptoms that include hypervigilance, exaggerated startle response, sleep disorders, difficulty with concentration, sexual dysfunction, irritability, recurring and distressing recollections, nightmares, flashbacks, grief, and survivor guilt. Depression, sadness, diminished interest in significant activities, social withdrawal, and numbness/denial can occur. Increased use of alcohol and medications is not uncommon. Family life can suffer as irritability and anger are displaced onto loved ones. As a clinical social worker, when I run groups in companies that allow employees to discuss their feelings, the most common comment is that one can't connect to the meaning that life once had for them. Their sense of mastery and their ability to form attachments to others are threatened.
If you are experiencing any number of these symptoms, the most important thing to keep in mind is that they're temporary. You WILL return to your old self. You haven't gone crazy and you don't necessarily need to see a therapist, unless the symptoms last longer than one or two months. But there are things you can do to expedite the return of your psychic equilibrium:
Force yourself to get plenty of physical exercise. The endorphin release and the deep breathing will mitigate the anxiety that underlies PTSD symptoms. And sorry folks, but stay away from the booze. Drinking may feel relaxing in the moment, but in the long run, it exacerbates anxiety and depression.
If you don't already have one, learn a relaxation technique. Yoga, yogic breathing, martial arts, and meditation classes are great ways to begin. Meditation teaches us to live in the present moment and view anxiety as existing only in the past and in the future. It's a great antidote for worry and fear. It also provides a sense of control over thought processes and emotional reactions.
Establish some sense of reasonable mastery (don't overdo it). Even if your job seems meaningless for a while, a job well done provides a sense of competency. Learn a new hobby or take up a new intellectual pursuit. Clean out that closet you've been meaning to organize for the past three years. n Most people know about the endorphins released through strenuous exercise, but few know that endorphins are also released through spending time in a caring community. More than ever, spend time with extended family, religious communities, 12-step groups, and your golfing buddies. Make an effort to form new, caring attachments. Isolation during emotionally difficult times is ill-advised. n Make use of colleagues to talk about feelings at appropriate times. If you're having trouble setting priorities and feel overwhelmed, ask for help from your supervisor. Focus on one task at a time. If necessary, ask management for a counselor to come in to help the group vent and share feelings.
Make use of this experience to re-examine your basic values and belief systems. Call upon any spiritual orientation you may have. Personally, I have a Buddhist bent. As I stood in New York's Sheridan Square on that Tuesday morning and watched the Twin Towers tumble, I had an odd reaction. One of the teachings of the Buddha was that all phenomena are impermanent and that human suffering results from attachments, craving, and desires for those things that by their very nature will vanish. Watching the Twin Towers crumble reminded me of human mortality, vulnerability, and the speed with which life passes. Amidst my feelings of horror and disbelief, I also felt a new appreciation for the value, preciousness, and beauty of living life in the present moment.

2004: Year Of The Bank
After struggling through the last two years of a recession, the television industry could use some good news. And, thankfully, there is some good news...really good news!


The Democrats have emphatically won a state House seat in a Kentucky district where Donald Trump defeated Hillary Clinton by 49 points in 2016.
Linda Belcher's victory in Bullitt County, where she polled more than two-thirds of the vote, is thought to be the Democrats' 37th gain since the presidential election and is the latest sign of the party's momentum ahead of pivotal midterms later this year.
She defeated the widow of a former Kentucky Republican lawmaker who killed himself last year after facing child sexual assault allegations.
Rebecca Johnson had denied the accusations against husband Dan Johnson, claiming he was a victim of "an assault from the left." However, they were backed up by an on-the-record interview from the victim, plus pages of police documents that were published by the Kentucky Centre for Investigative Reporting.
Voters in the rural district just south of Louisville voted overwhelmingly to replace Mr Johnson with Ms Belcher, a retired teacher and former Democratic state politician who had lost the seat by fewer than 200 votes in 2016.
Ms Belcher won 68 per cent of Tuesday's vote, with Republican candidate Ms Johnson polling 32 per cent.
The result will boost confidence among Democrats ahead of crucial midterm elections two years into Mr Trump's presidency.
The Democratic Legislative Campaign Committee said Bullitt County was at least the 37th contested seat the party had taken from Republicans since Mr Trump's inauguration.
It may also be the strongest pocket of Trump support where the Democrats have triumphed since he took power.
The Republican billionaire won Kentucky's 49th House district in 2016 with more than 72 per cent of the vote, compared to defeated Democratic candidate Ms Clinton's 23 per cent share.
"Congratulations to Representative-elect Linda Belcher on her victory in today's special election, which flipped yet another Republican-held seat from red to blue in a district that Trump won easily in 2016," said Democratic National Committee Chairman Tom Perez.
Ben Self, chairman of the Kentucky Democratic Party, said: "The results here show that if we can win in this district, we can win anywhere.
Earlier in the day, county election officials discovered residents in a particular subdivision were incorrectly listed as not living in the district.
Bullitt County Clerk Kevin Mooney said the problem was subsequently fixed and poll workers were instructed to send affected voters to another precinct.
He said even if everyone affected had voted Republican and their votes were all lost, it still would not have changed the outcome.
It is the third time voters have elected the Democrat. She was first elected in 2008 when she replaced her husband on the ballot after he was killed in a car crash.

Follow the adventures of Bertie Wooster and his gentleman#xE2;#x80;#x99;s gentleman, Jeeves, in this stunning new edition of one of the greatest comic novels in the English language. When Aunt Dahlia demands that Bertie Wooster help her dupe an antique dealer into selling her an 18th-century cow-creamer. Dahlia trumps Bertie's objections by threatening to sever his standing invitation to her house for lunch, an unthinkable prospect given Bertie's devotion to the cooking of her chef, Anatole. A web of complications grows as Bertie's pal Gussie Fink-Nottle asks for counseling in the matter of his impending marriage to Madeline Bassett. It seems Madeline isn't his only interest; Gussie also wants to study the effects of a full moon on the love life of newts. Added to the cast of eccentrics are Roderick Spode, leader of a fascist organization called the Saviors of Britain, who also wants that cow-creamer, and an unusual man of the cloth known as Rev. H. P. "Stinker" Pinker. As usual, butler Jeeves becomes a focal point for all the plots and ploys of these characters, and in the end only his cleverness can rescue Bertie from being arrested, lynched, and engaged by mistake!

Q: Как в oxyplot сделать несколько графиков Есть несколько графиков и надо что бы они находились на одном plot.
Возможно ли это сделать?
И как можно сделать в oxyplot сетку так же как в пример?
Заранее спасибо!

Вот часть кода
void Graf_fi(float[] F_x, Brush Brush,float x_max,float x_min, float y_max, float y_min)
    {
        var pm = new PlotModel();
        var ls = new LineSeries() { Title="", MarkerStroke=OxyColors.Black };
        int N, i;
        float dX,x1,x2,y1,y2,x0,y0;

Lehigh Valley High School Football
Colonial-Schuylkill football: Old-school style carrying Southern Lehigh, Palisades, Saucon Valley, Bangor
By Tom Housenick
There is confidence in the Palisades, Saucon Valley and Southern Lehigh locker rooms thanks to each putting together consecutive wins after season-opening losses.
But that confidence was brewing long before the Pirates, Panthers and Spartans donned the helmets and shoulder pads.
"The offseason was awesome," Southern Lehigh coach Phil Sams said. "The kids hit the weight room right away. We've probably had the most 225-pound benchers and squatters we've ever had here. Those kids put the time in during the summer.
"When we hit two-a-days, these kids already knew the playbook. We just started sprinkling new plays in from there."
Southern Lehigh gave up more than 400 yards and 42 points in a Week 1 loss to District 1 Class 6A neighbor Quakertown, but trailed only by six points in the fourth quarter.
The Spartans fought until the end, then went back to work. Southern Lehigh never led the following week at Notre Dame-Green Pond until a two-point conversion late in the fourth quarter gave Sams' bunch a one-point win.
The Spartans followed that up by leading from start to finish against previously unbeaten Bangor.
Palisades has a new head coach and a healthy roster after being decimated last year by injuries. It lost its opener to a more seasoned Bangor team, but responded with a convincing win over Wilson and rallying to beat previously unbeaten Palmerton.
"What I love about this team," coach Bobby Smith said, "is that they came in Sunday after [the Bangor loss] and there was no breaking of spirits. We set a goal every day to beat the day. That's the goal every week.
"Sometimes, you hit it; sometimes, you don't. But if they give it everything they've got, I can't be mad at that. These guys really put in the work during the week and are believing even if stuff doesn't go their way. They just keep on chugging."
Southern Lehigh visits Palisades on Friday night, with one team leaving Walter T. Rohrer Stadium with a three-game winning streak and the other facing another gut check.
Saucon Valley hosts Bangor, also Friday, with the winner exiting Montford E. Illick Stadium with a 3-1 record and the other working to get back on track.
All four teams have solid running attacks led by gritty running backs. Solid tackling and defensive discipline will go a long way in determining the outcomes.
"[Southern Lehigh] limited Bangor's big plays offensively, made them earn it," Saucon Valley coach Brad Trembler said. "They made them put together long drives, forced them to sustain it and not let [quarterback Eric] Striba loose. He's a scary dude.
"Bangor's defense plays hard. They fly around. They are pretty good at the end spots, do some things schematically with their ends that we haven't seen and will have to be prepared for."
Palisades, which doesn't have a large roster or a lot of size, will have its grittiness tested by Southern Lehigh's standout skill players and bigger offensive line.
"This will be a game of all games so far for us," Smith said. "Palmerton was great, but was totally different from Southern Lehigh. Palmerton was more finesse, quick. Southern Lehigh is fast, but big and strong.
"In two weeks, we'll see two completely different styles. Southern Lehigh will run the ball right at you, try to beat you up. [Cade] Sawyer is a hard runner, not too many jukes. He's going to put his shoulder down. It will be an old-school football game."
Bangor senior Ashton Kluska, 3, has three touchdowns and three tackles for loss. (JANE THERESE / Special to The Morning Call)
Colonial-Schuylkill League football Week 4 capsules
BANGOR (2-1) at SAUCON VALLEY (2-1)
When/where: 7:05 p.m. Friday at M.E. Illick Stadium, Hellertown
Last meeting: Bangor won 49-14 on Nov. 4, 2021, in the Eastern Conference championship game
Series: Saucon Valley has won eight of the last 10 meetings, including last year's regular-season meeting
What to look for: The team that is able to establish its running game will have the upper hand. Both have capable receivers in the passing game — Bangor's Greg Campbell; Saucon Valley's Alex Magnotta, Jared Rohn and Jack Robertson. But big plays in the running game could be the difference.
Prediction: Bangor 22-21
SOUTHERN LEHIGH (2-1) at PALISADES (2-1)
When/where: 7 Friday at Walter T. Rohrer Stadium, Kintnersville
Last meeting: Southern Lehigh 35-6 on Sept. 20, 2019
Series: Southern Lehigh has won 10 of the last 11 meetings. Palisades' only victory in that time was during its 2017 District 11 championship season
What to look for: A fast game if both sides find any success in their respective running games. It should be a headbangers' ball with Spartans hard-nosed RB Cade Sawyer, who is first in rushing yards among the 17 league teams in the Morning Call coverage area, and Pirates bruiser Steven Lilly, who is third. Southern Lehigh's other playmakers, including QB Avery Koser and WRs Jack Inglis, Tyler Rizzuto and Andrew Olesh, could spell the difference.
Prediction: Southern Lehigh 35-20
PEN ARGYL (1-2) at NORTHWESTERN (2-1)
When/where: 7 Friday in New Tripoli
Last meeting: Northwestern 43-14 on Sept. 22, 2017
Series: Northwestern won three of the last four by a combined 125-20 score
What to look for: The Tigers to develop consistency in their passing game. Cade Christopher's athleticism may be enough most weeks, but they will need to be better balanced when the calendar gets closer to playoff time. The Green Knights' running game has struggled the last two weeks. They'll need that to change to have a chance to play keep-away from the Tigers.
Prediction: Northwestern 41-14
JIM THORPE (1-2) at PALMERTON (2-1)
When/where: 7 Friday in Palmerton
Last meeting: Jim Thorpe 17-14 on Sept. 3, 2021
Series: The teams have met only once
What to look for: How the Blue Bombers handle the Olympians' size will be key. Coach Chris Walkowiak's club also must avoid mistakes, which cost them in last week's loss to Palisades. Coach Mark Rosenberger's team got its first win last week over Salisbury, thanks to a solid running attack. The Olympians are capable of stringing together a bunch of wins if they can repeat that formula.
Prediction: Jim Thorpe 42-28
TAMAQUA (1-2) at NORTH SCHUYLKILL (2-1)
When/where: 7 Friday at Spartan Stadium in Ashland
Last meeting: North Schuylkill 2-0 (forfeit) on Nov. 2, 2021
Series: North Schuylkill has won eight of the last 10 meetings
What to look for: The Blue Raiders are going to need to find ways to score against the Spartans, who have posted consecutive shutouts after a Week 1 loss to Mount Carmel. Coach Sam Bonner's club also will have to shore up its run defense after yielding 312 yards last week in a loss to Notre Dame-GP. Tamaqua must somehow contain the speedy Joey Flail in North Schuylkill's passing game.
Prediction: North Schuylkill 28-7
MAHANOY AREA (3-0) at CATASAUQUA (0-3)
When/where: 7 Friday at Alumni Field in Catasauqua
Last meeting: Catasauqua won 14-6 on Oct. 1, 2021
Series: The teams have met just once the last two decades
What to look for: The Rough Riders have had a brutally rough start to their season with injuries and an 0-3 record capped by last week's 12-7 loss at Marian Catholic. The Golden Bears have taken care of business in their three games in which they've been favored. If Catasauqua can't establish a more consistent offense, it will be hard-pressed to rely on stopping Colm McGroarty, Ben Manley and Co.
Prediction: Mahanoy Area 14-13
PINE GROVE (1-2) at NORTHERN LEHIGH (3-0)
When/where: 7 Friday at Bulldog Stadium, Slatington
Last meeting: Northern Lehigh 53-6 on Nov. 14, 2014
Series: Northern Lehigh won the only other series meeting in the last 20 years in 2004
What to look for: Northern Lehigh staying focused and not looking ahead to next week's showdown with North Schuylkill. The Bulldogs' evolution offensively will be key to their success the rest of the season. The Cardinals are coming off a 38-0 loss to North Schuylkill.
Prediction: Northern Lehigh 41-14
NOTRE DAME-GP (2-1) at SALISBURY (0-3)
When/where: 7 Friday in Salisbury Township
Last meeting: Notre Dame-GP 48-0 on Sept. 10, 2021
Series: Notre Dame-GP has won 10 of the last 12 meetings
What to look for: The Crusaders' run game, which exploded in the second half of last week's win at Tamaqua, will give opposing defenses another concern. The Falcons have struggled scoring points so far this season, so their defense will be pressed to at least slow down coach Phil Stambaugh's versatile offense.
Prediction: Notre Dame-GP 36-7
MARIAN CATHOLIC (2-1) at LINE MOUNTAIN (0-3)
When/where: 7 Friday at Glenn Ressler Field in Herndon
Last meeting: Marian Catholic 35-19 in 1981
Series: Marian Catholic leads 3-0-1
What to look for: The Colts are finding ways to win games. A blocked punt late in the fourth quarter led to the game-winning touchdown against Catasauqua. Coach Stan Dakosty's team will need to do the same against the Eagles, who nearly took down Tri-Valley in Week 3.
Prediction: Line Mountain 21-13
SHENANDOAH VALLEY (0-3) at PANTHER VALLEY (1-2)
When/where: 7 Thursday at Panther Valley Stadium, Nesquehoning
Last meeting: Shenandoah Valley 28-21 on Oct. 8, 2021
Series: Panther Valley won six of the previous seven before last season
What to look for: The Blue Devils have managed only 406 yards offense in three games, including just 77 on the ground. If the Panthers can keep them in check and find a way to move the ball, they will be in good shape. Coach Mark Lavine's club has struggled in the passing game.
Prediction: Panther Valley 20-14
LEHIGHTON (0-3) at WILSON (0-3)
When/where: Noon Saturday at Wilson's Smith Field
Last meeting: Wilson 42-21 on Sept. 10, 2021
Series: Lehighton leads 3-2
What to look for: The Warriors' offense has not found its rhythm yet this season with 276 yards and four touchdowns (one on special teams, one on defense) in three games. That will need to change against the Indians, who have had trouble on the other side of the ball.
Prediction: Lehighton 27-7
Last week's predictions: 7-3
Season: 27-11

Last Call For French's Disconnection
I didn't think it was possible, but Bill Kristol managed to fail so badly he might have pegged the needle on the maximum allowed negative integer and flipped it around positive.
Two Republicans intimately familiar with Bill Kristol's efforts to recruit an independent presidential candidate to challenge Donald Trump and Hillary Clinton have told Bloomberg Politics that the person Kristol has in mind is David French -- whose name the editor of the Weekly Standard floated in the current issue of the magazine.
French is a veteran of Operation Iraqi Freedom. According to the website of National Review, where French is a staff writer, he is a constitutional lawyer, a recipient of the Bronze Star, and an author of several books who lives in Columbia, Tenn., with his wife Nancy and three children.
Reached in Israel late Tuesday afternoon, Kristol declined to comment on his efforts to induce French to run. The two Republicans confirmed that French is open to launching a bid, but that he has not made a final decision. One of the Republicans added that French has not lined up a vice-presidential running mate or significant financial support.
So, David French is a pundit.
A National Review pundit running for President.
A pundit who, as of a week ago, was asking Mitt Romney to run for president.
The American people need the chance to make a better choice. Given the stakes of the election, to simply leave the race to Hillary Clinton and Donald Trump is to guarantee a terrible presidency marked by incompetence and cronyism. There is just one hope — however slim — of avoiding this national disaster: America needs a third option.
And at this point, Mitt Romney is the only man who combines the integrity, financial resources, name recognition, and broad public support to make a realistic independent run at the presidency. He's conservative, he's got an enviable record in business and government, and he's demonstrated a unique capacity for turning around failing enterprises. Oh, and there's one other thing: Romney has been proven right.
It's like Kristol went to the National Review staff meeting and said "Hey, do any of you guys want to run for President?" And everyone else backed up a step because David French was checking his phone and playing Angry Birds: Donald Trump Edition. and didn't see, and now you guys he's gonna run for president and stuff.
Sure. This is going to be great.

The Company Store Is Now The Company Bank
One of the reasons why barely-paid restaurant workers continue to get screwed by giant chains in the name of profits is because these restaurant chains have enough leverage to force their workers (some undocumented) to remain poor, and Wall Street banks are more than happy to sell the rope to hang these workers with.
Workers at Darden Restaurants chains are routinely told they must accept prepaid debit cards instead of paychecks, according to a new report from the worker organization Restaurant Opportunities Center (ROC) United. A quarter of workers surveyed said they asked to be paid some other way and were told the cards are their only option.
The practice helps the company, which came under intense pressure to cut costs from dissatisfied investors a couple years back. But it puts an expensive barrier between workers and their money.
The restaurant conglomerate has roughly 148,000 employees in the U.S. Half of those workers get payroll cards in lieu of standard paper checks. Each card shaves about $2.75 per pay period off of the company's overhead, saving Darden as much as $5 million per year.
Darden's bottom-line bliss means pain and chaos for those 70,000-plus workers. The cards come with a litany of fees: 99 cents for using it to pay utility bills, 50 cents if the card is declined at a cash register, $1.75 to withdraw money from an out-of-network ATM and 75 cents just to check the card's balance. If a worker loses her card, she'll pay $10 to have it replaced.
As Darden cuts its administrative costs, the banks that provide the cards rack up significant income on the back end. Federal Reserve Bank of Philadelphia researchers put median bank earnings at $1.75 per card per month back in 2012. That suggests Darden's financial partners are pulling down about $1.5 million a year.
So yes, remember the next time you're at Olive Garden, Longhorn Steakhouse or the Capital Grille that half the employees there are forced to used high-fee "payroll cards" rather than direct deposit, so they can nickel and dime their employees to death, and a great many of these low-paid employees are women.
And eventually, these low-paid full-time employees end up on some sort of government assistance while working 40 hours a week or more, because their employers refuse to pay them a living wage.
I know, I've had employers in the past that tried to user these payroll cards to pay me, saying they were a "great deal" for workers and saved hassle and were very convenient right up until you read the fine print and realize that it would cost you hundreds of dollars in fees a year to use the card.
But that's how we now treat workers in America.

Wow, talk about "contempt prior to investigation'. I hope by now that you've actually seen "The Imitation Game" and discovered that -- contrary to your assumption that the film glosses over Alan Turing's homosexuality -- the film shows head on how he was forced to stay closeted, how the police hounded and persecuted him, how a court sentenced him to chemical castration, and how the drugs and his despair drove him to suicide.
Fair enough, I understand your assumption -- Hollywood has a century of history of ignoring, or mocking, or demonizing LBGT characters. But you had an opportunity to applaud a movie that doesn't do any of those things and you just crapped on it instead.

Jacob and Mary Kaufman were prominent citizens of Kitchener, Ontario from the late 19th century to WWII. Jacob Kaufman and Mary Ratz married in 1877. Jacob began his career in the lumber industry but switched to rubber, forming the Kaufman Rubber Company in 1908. Jacob and Mary Kaufman were active in civic and community life, supporting causes such as The Children's Aid Society, the Kitchener-Waterloo Orphanage, the Women's Christian Temperance Union, the YMCA, the YWCA and the Kitchener-Waterloo Hospital. Together they had four children: Emma Ratz, Alvin Ratz, Milton Ratz, and Edna Louise.
Emma Kaufman dedicated her life to the Young Women's Christian Association, serving for thirty years in Japan and Canada. The Emperor of Japan presented her with a memorial cup in 1965, the 60th Anniversary of the YWCA in Japan, and in the same year she received an International Cooperation Year medal presented by Cardinal Leger in Montreal.
Alvin ("A.R.") Kaufman ran the rubber company started by his father and became well known as a local philanthropist, supporting many of the same causes as had his parents. He is primarily remembered for his activities in support of the YMCA, YWCA and of family planning and birth control.
Edna Kaufman married Albert William Augustine (1890-1972) Aug. 22, 1918. They had three children, Albert Jacob (1923-1990), John Ross (1927- ), and Mary Caroline (1931- ).
Mary Caroline Augustine married James Milton Ham (1920-1997), who was President of the University of Toronto from 1978-1983.
Albert Benjamin Augustine, a school teacher from Racine, Wisconsin, marred Caroline Margaret Barbara Breithaupt in Berlin, Ontario on August 3, 1887. Together they lived in Racine and had three children: Albert Augustine, Laurine Catherine and Grace Melvina Louise. Following Albert Benjamin's death in 1909, the family moved to Berlin. Albert became an industrialist, Laurine taught at what would become the Kitchener Vocational Institute and Grace pursued a career in academia after obtaining a PhD at Columbia University.

Q: 2 column layout with column heights that stick to the footer I have a basic layout with 2 columns and a footer that behaves according to the height of which column is longer.

                Extends with content

                Extends with content

        Relative behaviour when the content of either columns is long enough. Sticks to the bottom when there is not enough content.

Full code with CSS: http://jsfiddle.net/TNRqL/

What would be an elegant solution to make the columns with the same heights, but that also stick to the footer?
Such as: http://jsfiddle.net/xJ6Cv/ (I used min-height on left and right columns)
I found in another question a solution to make columns of the same heights regardless of which one is longer, but it doesn't make them stick to the footer.
.row {
    overflow: hidden;
}

[class*="col-"] {
    margin-bottom: -99999px;
    padding-bottom: 99999px;
}

A: If you're OK with around 80% browser support, then you can do this elegantly with the Flexbox CSS3 module. You define the overall page to have a minimum height, and then mark your columns as "flexing" to fill the available space. There's a demo here, though due to the nesting of your elements it won't be quite as simple.

Global warming is not just a theory in Torres Strait - it is lapping at people's doorsteps.
The phenomenon is a visible reality as rising sea levels threaten to erase centuries-old island communities.

Two Strong Earthquakes Strike Sakhalin, East Russia
Two strong earthquakes, one of magnitude 6.2, struck near Sakhalin Island in eastern Russia today, the U.S. Geological Survey said. Two people were killed and Japan's government said a small tsunami hit Hokkaido.

The quake's depth was 5 kilometers. The second quake, of magnitude 6.1, occurred at 4:22 p.m. eastern Russian time in the same area with a depth of 21 kilometers.

'Dead Zone' Returns to Oregon Coast
Mon, 30 Jul 2007 10:28 UTC
The return of oxygen-depleted water off the Oregon coast is a sign of a warming climate, which could have ill effect on populations of sea creatures, scientists said Monday.
It's the sixth year the water, known as a dead zone, has formed.
''It does, indeed, appear to be the new normal,'' said Jane Lubchenco, professor of marine biology at Oregon State University. ''The fact that we are seeing six in a row now tells us that something pretty fundamental has changed about conditions off of our coast.''

Nadezhda Stepanova: "Sometimes we are surrounded by people who make us suffer a lot. And these people may be our nearest and dearest. It makes the pain unbearable. Maybe in reality they suffer even more than you do. If they cause you this pain it means they feel themselves even more hopeless. I am sure of that. The only way out is to change yourself, to have a fresh look upon yourself. It was important for me to say this".
The story of Tanya, who is suddenly hit by a feeling that her existence is hopelessly devoid of meaning, is set in St. Petersburg. The city landscape provides the backdrop for Tanya's ups and downs as she takes drastic action, gets into scrapes and grows up as a result of the trials – both deliberate and accidental – that she faces. Despite our heroine's inner crisis, this is a cheery and touching film. Through chance encounters and goodbyes, old emotional ties, solitude and the discovery of sources of internal support in specific actions and circumstances, our fragile heroine grows stronger. In terms of genre, the film is a heart-wrenching, incisive confession: Tanya alternates between writing a diary and prose. Tanya 'knows how to knit' because she tries, not without success, to weave together the threads of her past and her future – or even her fate.
In 2010, Tatyana Bogatyreva's script for I Know How to Knit came third in Iskusstvo kino magazine's Lichnoe delo [A Personal Affair] scriptwriting competition.
This is director Nadezhda Stepanova's debut feature-length film.
Knitting is a metaphor for life. If there's a mistake it has to be unraveled. 20-year-old Tanya uses her hospital stay to unravel her life.
Debuting Nadezhda Stepanova has set her main character in a mental hospital —a stage for many Russian authors. The young woman has tried to take her life and from the hospital bed she gets the opportunity to unravel the quandary of life. From there the viewer is taken on outings to home and work environments and even to old boyfriends. In the notebook her mother gave her she writes a novel about her life as we get to experience it. The film has a pace and a tone that makes it easy for the viewer to breeze in and become one with the main character. It's poetic without being turgid. An added bonus is that it's hard not to be enchantged by the images from Saint Petersburg.

Dehydroepiandrosterone, or DHEA, is a steroid hormone produced by the adrenal glands which is then converted to steroid sex hormones like testosterone and estrogen in the body 1. Levels of DHEA peak between the ages of 20 and 30 years old and decline with age. DHEA is manufactured and used as hormonal replacement therapy, according to Columbia University's Health Services. Proponents of DHEA believe it has several health benefits, ranging from increasing energy to possibly helping with Alzheimer's disease. Always consult with your physician before taking new supplements or undergoing alternative treatments.
When 50 to 200 mg of a DHEA hormonal supplement are taken daily, it may improve energy levels in people with chronic fatigue syndrome, according to the University of Maryland Medical Center. The University of Michigan Health System reports that women with true adrenal insufficiency who have low levels of DHEA may see an improvement in energy and sense of well-being when 50 mg of DHEA supplement is taken each day.
According to the NYU Langone Medical Center, DHEA may help older women with osteoporosis 1. DHEA treatment may help fight osteoporosis in women over 70 and is helpful in preventing osteoporosis in women with anorexia. The Saint Louis University reports that when a DHEA supplement is taken with both vitamin D and calcium, it significantly improves spinal bone density in older women. A two-year University of Saint Louis study was conducted and found that the female study subjects' bone density increased by 2 percent. This study was limited to spinal bone density and did not include other bones in the body.
DHEA supplementation may help women with menopausal symptoms, according to the University of Michigan Health System. It may effect mood symptoms associated with menopause by improving the repsonse in the brain to endorphins, the brain chemicals involved in pain and pleasure sensations. Check with your physician before taking DHEA supplements for hormonal issues.
People with high cholesterol levels may benefit from taking DHEA, according to NYU Langone Medical Center 1. DHEA may reduce cholesterol levels in blood and reduce plaque formations. However, DHEA may also cause further problems in people with cardiovascular disease; consult with your physician prior to using DHEA supplements if you have a history of heart or cardiovascular issues.
