Greg Kinnear for "Stuck on You"
Friday, November 28th 2003 5:00 pm
Greg Kinnear knows how to be intensely dramatic [Auto-Focus], comically romantic [Sabrina] or just deeply human [As Good As It Gets]. But as Matt Damon's co-joined brother? Well here's a side of the unpredictable actor we haven't seen before. Paul Fischer caught up with the ex-TV journalist in New York.
Question: TELL US HOW YOU MET MATT DAMON?
Kinnear: Well, Ben Affleck and I go way, way back. He and I are bestest friends, so whatever you've heard about Matt [Damon] and Ben, forget about it. It's me and Ben.
Question: HOW DID YOU DECIDE WHICH OF YOU WOULD PLAY WHICH TWIN?
Kinnear: I wanted to play Cher and they wanted to go with her. Cher. No, they kind of came at us with the notion of me being Walt and Matt being Bob.
Question: MATT SAYS IT'S BECAUSE YOU'RE OLDER.
Kinnear: Here we go to the age thing. Huh? Just like that. Can't help yourself, can you?
Question: WERE YOU BORED DURING THE HOURS OF MAKEUP?
Kinnear: We watched a Tom Green movie one morning. Nothing to do during this time. And played video golf.
Question: WHEN YOU WERE SITTING THERE FOR 12 HOURS, WAS THAT THE POINT WHEN YOU WONDERED WHAT YOU WERE DOING?
Kinnear: We kind of knew how good it would like and how important it was for the movie, you know, and so we were excited about it, like, boy I hope they get this right. But yeah, we did it six times and by the fifth and six times we had to sit for that process, then we were going, man, I'm not looking forward to tomorrow morning. And the point is, those aren't our hairy backs.
Question: FAKE BELLY BUTTON TOO, RIGHT?
Kinnear: Crazy huge belly button, right? Like weirdly large.
Question: DO YOU DO RESEARCH FOR SOMETHING LIKE THIS?
Kinnear: On any serious, important film that's being considered for an Oscar nomination, I do research. You know, I was actually working on another movie right before this, when this happened, and only had a few before, I went from that to this. Usually I do give a great deal of forethought and zone in on characters and all sorts of things like that. Never before have I just stuffed something away in the back cupboard of my brain more than this, because it was just such a crazy concept, and I just kind of felt like, at least for me, this is going to have to be discovered through the process, not before. And I'm kind of glad it worked out that way, because much of what ended up in the movie in terms of tonally, what the relationship is between Don and Walt, what our characters are, and the story, and a lot of the good jokes that are in it, happened while we were making it.
Question: CAN YOU TALK ABOUT HAVING WORKED WITH JACK NICHOLSON ON 'AS GOOD AS IT GETS'?
Kinnear: Well, at the risk of promoting his movie, if it's opening the same day as ours…Jack, he's a remarkable guy. I was humbled to work with him. There's nothing I can say, to add to the Jack Nicholson equation of mythology. He really is a brilliant actor, he faced some stiff Oscar competition the year that he won for 'As Good As it Gets,' but there can only be one winner. We've been dueling it out, we both had a had in each other's worlds that year, actually. No, I got nothing but great things to say about him. He's amazing, he's really coming into his own.
Question: WERE THERE ANY JOKES YOU WOULDN'T DO?
Kinnear: See the movie, you can see there's pretty much nothing we refused.
Question: WHY NO TOILET SCENE IN THIS MOVIE?
Kinnear: We did a lot of toilet scenes but they ain't in the movie. You put this harness on and you're kind of, you've got your dance partner for the next 12 hours. So we just had to work through a lot of personal issues. I like the tone of the movie, it's different than a lot of their other films. In some ways it's similar, but I just really responded to what the story was about and thought it would be kind of an interesting exercise. I knew when it was over, and when it was done, you can't say this about a lot of movies. There was no risk of people sitting there in the theater and saying, 'oh, not one of these films again.'
Question: DID YOU SEE MATT DAMON ON 'WILL AND GRACE'?
Kinnear: That was the best guest episode of a sitcom, maybe, one of the best ever. I didn't give you a handclap for that. Brilliant!
Question: CAN YOU TALK ABOUT YOUR 'TALK SOUP' SHOW DAYS?
Kinnear: It was an incredibly fresh environment. There was no show like it when we started, and I really, it was a great experience for me. I felt like we really could do anything, and everything was possible, and yet nobody was watching the show for the first two years it was on so it was kind of in a vacuum, and even when they were watching it, it was just on E!, it was so small. It was really a cool environment, I had a great group of people that I worked with. A lot of the comedy in that show was provided by Geraldo Rivera and Jerry Springer, so I didn't have to do much.
Question: WAS THERE ANY COMPUTER ANIMATED GRAPHICS IN THIS?
Kinnear: [laughing] Sorry, that was all CGI. But what we're doing to duplicate, to make the CGI look like it actually works, was by us.
Question: THE STUFF WITH FLIPPING THE BURGERS?
Kinnear: No, no, that's real. [laughing]
Question: SO NONE OF THAT STUFF WAS REAL?
Kinnear: There is a great deal in that kitchen stuff that's us, and mixed in with that, very nicely, by the way, are a few CGI tricks that really make it work. But, you know, we needed the help with that, but we do do a lot of it ourselves.
Question: WHAT ARE YOU DOING NOW?
Kinnear: I did a movie with Robert De Niro. Bob De Niro, maybe you've heard of him. It's called 'Godsend,' it'll come out in March. In terms of what I'm doing next, I don't know, I just had a baby, so I'm being a dad. No, not personally. I didn't personally have a baby. Indirectly I had a baby.
Question: WAS IT FUN WORKING WITH CHER?
Kinnear: Cher's great, she's incredible, we both came to know her and love her. She is an enormous, enormous star, who goes anywhere and crowds fall her and people follow her, and yet she's a disciplined actress and she's down to Earth and cool. I can't say enough good things about her.
Question: DO YOU HOPE TO DO MORE SINGING?
Kinnear: I don't know. It depends on the project, I honestly hadn't done a lot of singing, and Pete had this crazy nothing that that song belonged at the end of the movie somehow, and gave me the CD and said, 'you should learn this song. Or else it'll be stupid.' So I just kind of played around with it. It's a Billy Stewart song. I listened to it, and then went and recorded a version of it, and we got an up and coming actress, Meryl Streep, to come in and work with me. She learned a lot. I don't know, she's amazing. It was great, it was absolutely great. I got to do a scene with Meryl Street and musical theater and Bonnie and Clyde, man. I'm done. I could be done.

Home /How Your Dog Can "See Through His Nose"?
The dog's superhuman sense of smell is much fabled and very well known. Especially in comparison to human beings, the sheer number of smells a dog remembers and the remarkable accuracy with which it can differentiate between them, even when they are cluttered or far off, is amazing. It is put to use in several human endeavours, most famously of course, in the case of police dogs.
The significance of the sense of smell in a dog's life takes a wee bit of effort to understand from the point of view of a human being. Sight is our primary sense, in that it is the one which most shapes our experience of reality and helps us formulate a response to it. We see things as they happen and this fundamentally shapes the way we act and the way we store and recollect memories. For a dog however, the sense of smell is a much more primal one and is definitely most useful for survival.
Dogs, just like us, smell through specialised oflactoreceptor cells which are located in their noses. While they are completely analogous to the olfactoreceptors we've got, an average human being has only got 5 million of them to say, a bloodhound's 300 million. In addition, the centre of the brain that is responsible for processing these olfactory signals is also proportionately much larger in dogs. This enables them to store and recgonise a lot more olfactory signals. The difference this variation in biology makes is staggering: If you can pick up and discern a scent clearly, a dog can pick the same scent up with a thousandth of the quantity in a packed football stadium located 2 miles away. In addition, if it recognises the components, it can distinguish them as well.
This phenomenal capability of dogs has several applications and manifestations in every day life. The more famous image that this conjures in most of us is that of the universally revered police dog. While law enforcement is an area where this sensory gift of dogs finds wide application, it does manifest itself in other more overlooked areas. For instance, let's take the apparent emotional compatibility of dogs with humans. It's the stuff of legends. This, many experts argue, is the result of a dog getting a whiff of the hormonal shift that precedes a substantial emotional shift. i.e they can literally smell our anger or happiness! What more, dogs have also been shown to be able to discern small biochemical changes that accompany cancer and are being used to arrive at diagnoses.
Furthermore, when dogs are at a place, they are capable of constructing a complex olfactory image that interlaces the recent past with the near future and the present using residues of smell, left behind by events and people. In a way of speaking, they can smell the future coming.


3Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ! According to his great mercy, he has caused us to be born again to a living hope through the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead, 4to an inheritance that is imperishable, undefiled, and unfading, kept in heaven for you, 5who by God's power are being guarded through faith for a salvation ready to be revealed in the last time. 6In this you rejoice, though now for a little while, if necessary, you have been grieved by various trials, 7so that the tested genuineness of your faith—more precious than gold that perishes though it is tested by fire—may be found to result in praise and glory and honor at the revelation of Jesus Christ. 8Though you have not seen him, you love him. Though you do not now see him, you believe in him and rejoice with joy that is inexpressible and filled with glory, 9obtaining the outcome of your faith, the salvation of your souls.
10Concerning this salvation, the prophets who prophesied about the grace that was to be yours searched and inquired carefully, 11inquiring what person or time the Spirit of Christ in them was indicating when he predicted the sufferings of Christ and the subsequent glories. 12It was revealed to them that they were serving not themselves but you, in the things that have now been announced to you through those who preached the good news to you by the Holy Spirit sent from heaven, things into which angels long to look.

JERUSALEM (AP) — Gaza's militant Hamas rulers and Israel appear to be honoring a cease-fire that ended two days of an intense flare-up in violence amid efforts by neighboring Egypt to negotiate between the two sides.
Israel's military said on Friday that no rockets were fired from Gaza at Israel overnight and it conducted no airstrikes. Israel's government hasn't confirmed the truce.
Hamas's Al Aqsa TV reported late Thursday that an Egypt-brokered deal had taken hold "on the basis of mutual calm."

Paytm Inbox Gets Live TV, News, Cricket Scores, Videos And More

Paytm is already a leading digital payments platform of India that offers you access to all banking services, flight or bus ticket bookings, recharges, bill payments and more. But, the platform is now gunning to become a one-stop shop for everything. Paytm has announced today that users will have access to live TV, news, cricket updates as well as entertainment videos via Paytm Inbox.
Yes, you're reading it right. Everyone's trusty digital payments wallet is soon going to be cluttered by a host of content or games through the existing 'Paytm Inbox' section.
Paytm Inbox, for those unaware, is an in-app messaging service that was launched earlier last year to allow users to chat and send or receive money from their friends/ family at the same time. The feature is, however, now being expanded to a full-stack service and will be bringing the content at no extra cost.
For the content, Paytm has partnered with the likes of Hungama, UC News, and Yupp TV, among others. Live TV, on the other hand, can be streamed via Aaj Tak, India Today, Zoom, 9XM, ETNow and other regional channels.
Talking about the revamped Paytm Inbox, Paytm's Senior VP Deepak Abbot said, "We will now be offering various kinds of content from news to live TV to entertainment videos and Games to further strengthen our relationship with customers. Paytm has fast emerged as a super-app for India and we will continue to add more offerings to our portfolio, giving our customers one more reason to use Paytm every day."
The primary aim of this expansion is that Paytm wants to encourage its users to spend more time using the Inbox feature, which had been lost among other popular features of the app. The app currently has close to 120 million MAUs but it now wants to grow the number of sessions and time spent on the app with these new features.
The updated Paytm Inbox has been rolled out to iOS users and can be expected to reach Android devices over the next week. So, are you excited to see live content in the Paytm app? Let us know in the comments below.

3 Arizona Coyotes Trading Partners for Shayne Gostisbehere
Despite a valiant effort to begin the season, the Arizona Coyotes have fallen to the bottom part of the standings and are firmly in the Connor Bedard race. That is no surprise, of course, as they are in the very early stages of a rebuild and were thought by many to have entered the 2022-23 season with the worst roster in the entire league.
Related: Coyotes' Bjugstad Building Trade Deadline Value
While their current roster may not be very strong, however, things are looking up for them when it comes to the future. They have a number of solid young prospects in the pipeline, and have a surplus of draft picks in both 2023 and 2024 thanks to helping opposing teams offload contracts. Those picks should increase even further in the near future, as they have a number of players they will be looking to move ahead of this year's trade deadline.
Free Standard Shipping Until Jan. 18
One of those players is Shayne Gostisbehere, a defenseman whom the Philadelphia Flyers offloaded to the Coyotes during the 2021 offseason. After struggling during his final years with the Flyers, the 29-year-old has revived his career in the desert, and currently sits second amongst his teammates in scoring with 28 points through 42 games. While his defensive play won't wow anybody, there will still be plenty of interest in him given his puck-moving abilities. Here are three teams that would make for great fits.
At the time of writing this, the New York Islanders hold down the final wild card position in the Eastern Conference, but the Pittsburgh Penguins are hot on their tail. In order to try and solidify their opportunity for a postseason berth, Lou Lamoriello needs to find a way to add offense to his lineup, and Gostisbehere would certainly help do just that.
Shayne Gostisbehere, Arizona Coyotes (Amy Irvin / The Hockey Writers)
The Islanders' 133 goals scored this season ranks 21st amongst all NHL clubs, proving the fact that they need some help when it comes to offensive productivity. Up front, players like Mat Barzal, Brock Nelson and Anders Lee are doing their part, but aside from Noah Dobson on the back end, there hasn't been much blue line production from this club.
Also working in the Islanders benefit here is that they have the space to trade for Gostisbehere's full $4.5 million cap hit if they wish to do so, which would lower the price for Lamoriello. Given the veteran defenseman's struggles in his own end, he could likely be had for a third-round pick, which could prove to be a bargain for the Isles if he were to continue his current rate of production.
All season long, the Calgary Flames have been searching for a top-nine forward to help contribute to their offense. That remains their big interest, though they have yet to find a team willing to engage, and may soon need to change their path of direction. If they do indeed decide to fill a different void, adding Gostisbehere could make plenty of sense.
Latest News & Highlights
While the Flames do have plenty of defensive depth, they have missed Oliver Kylington's creativity on the back end this season. The 25-year-old has yet to play this season due to a personal matter, and appears less and less likely to return at all in 2022-23 as each day passes. If Brad Treliving is confident that he indeed will not return, bringing in Gostisbehere as his replacement for the remainder of the season could make some sense for this Flames group.
Unfortunately for the Flames, they are not in the same position as the Islanders when it comes to cap space, as they currently have just over $1.9 million to work with. This means that they would have to find a way to move a bit of money out, though the Coyotes would have no problem retaining 50 percent of his contract. That said, the dollars retained would force the Flames to give up more than the Islanders, likely raising the cost to a second-round pick instead of a third.
Though the Detroit Red Wings sit six points behind the Islanders for a wild card position, they also have three games in hand, meaning that they are by no means out of the race for a playoff spot. There were hopes that this team could be playoff caliber in 2022-23, though it isn't exactly a high-pressure situation for Steve Yzerman given that he is doing a great job of setting them up for long-term success.
Because of the long-term picture in Detroit, there is no reason for Yzerman to make a huge deadline move in order to try and give his team the push they need to get into the playoffs. That said, the way they have played this season is deserving of some help, and bringing in a player like Gostisbehere who won't require a heavy cost could be an option they consider.
Much like the Islanders, the Red Wings have struggled to find the back of the net this season, having done so just 127 times in their 41 games. Part of that is due to their power play, which ranks 20th in the league. Adding Gostisbehere to the mix could help with that, and could serve as potential insurance for Filip Hronek who has been banged up in recent weeks.
Potential Bargain Addition
As mentioned throughout the article, Gostisbehere won't be a player that costs a ton for interested teams to acquire. While by no means a top-pairing defender, he is a fine third-pairing option who is one of the better puck movers in the entire league. Because of that great puck-moving ability, he should be able to ink himself a nice deal this offseason. The price of that contract could go up even further if he is able to produce like he can for whichever team pulls the trigger on a trade for him before the deadline.

How to Withdraw Money From Mutual Fund?
Home > Direct Mutual Funds > How to Withdraw Money From Mutual Fund?
A mutual fund is considered one of the best wealth creation and investment vehicle that can be adopted by the predominantly middle-class Indians. It not only provides a way in for us to get involved in stock trading but also alleviates the risk associated with share markets. When we have a dedicated mutual fund manager to identify the best stock to pick based on our respective wealth building objectives, things get a lot simpler.
One of the biggest advantages of a mutual fund is its liquidity. Unlike other forms of investments, mutual funds come in handy in case of urgent emergencies. However, we need to time the mutual fund withdrawal well, so that we are able to extract maximum performance from our investments.
The Securities and Exchange Board of India (SEBI) regulate mutual funds. Because of this, there are well-established norms about the withdrawal of mutual funds. At a very high level, an investor needs to apply to withdraw certain units from the existing fund (or withdraw the entire amount). In the application, the investor will need to specify a bank account to which it needs to be deposited. Once the processing for redemption is finished, the withdrawal amount specified will be transferred to the investor's bank account in three working days.
1 – Fill in important details like folio number, scheme name, number of units to redeem, and the unit holder's name in the redemption request form.
4 – You can even visit the websites of registrars like CAMS (if they service your AMC) to carry out the redemption process.
It is important to note that the NAV (Net Asset Value) determines the fund value applicable. This is declared every working day once the trading session is over for that day. Therefore, you need to time your redemption request submission so that you can utilize the current day's NAV (usually up to 3 pm on a trading day) before your mutual fund withdrawal.
After the request for mutual fund withdrawal is submitted, the AMC needs time to verify and process the request. This typically takes around 3 working days. The amount will be credited to the unitholder's bank account in this duration.
Your mutual fund withdrawal will have implications in the form of taxes and exit loads. You would need to check on these before you raise the redemption request.
a. Withdrawal before 1 year is complete – 15% short-term capital gains tax is applicable on such withdrawals.
The typical investment horizon is 1-4 years for such funds.
a. Withdrawal before 3 years are complete – Profit on the withdrawn amount will be added to your taxable income as per applicable slabs.
When NOT to Withdraw Mutual Fund?
In case the market is fluctuating wildly then it is a common tendency to get out and sell the mutual funds. However, experts recommend that this is not the best course of action. A mutual fund helps you purchase more units when the market is in a downturn. Even the risk is minimized as market corrections would definitely happen in quick time and reverse the downward trend. In addition, there may be temporary factors like upcoming elections that might affect the movement of mutual fund NAV. However, these are not permanent and hence should not be a reason why you exit a mutual fund.
Hi, you are right in the observation. It was a mistake on our end. We have updated the article. Thank you so much for your vigilance! Please keep visiting us and interacting with us!

Madonna, Bless Us
August 2, 2017 /0 Comments/in The Savvy Cyclist /by Karen Karabell
Madonna, bless us!
I'm not Catholic, but I'm white-on-rice for blessings. Favorite bumper sticker: Bless everyone, no exceptions.
The Savvy Cyclist launches today on a weekly publication schedule. We'll take all the blessings we can get. We've never done anything like this. It feels scary and exciting at the same time, like a big commitment.
When you make a commitment, do you seek validation? I do! I want proof and evidence that I'm on the right path (which is why I'm such a fan of CyclingSavvy, but more about that another time).
What I want to tell you about today is St. Louis' first annual "Blessing of Bicyclists" and its immediate connection to CyclingSavvy.
The connection was right at the top of the program:
Blessing of Bicyclists. Wow. I felt like crying. At that moment I realized how profoundly blessed I've been as a bicyclist. Savvy cycling has made my riding infinitely easier than I ever imagined it could be.
Thanks to CyclingSavvy, I live in a Bicyclist-Friendly Universe. Road rage is never an issue. (OK, almost never. When road rage does happen, it's always a surprise, because it's so rare. I mainly feel sorry for the perpetrator. I think: "Sorry you're stuck in your car, buddy! I wish you knew how easy it could be to choose bicycling.")
I know that sounds hard to believe. But I'm not the only one. Successful cyclists are everywhere, with amazing stories to tell. Might you be one? I coordinate the editorial calendar for The Savvy Cyclist. Email me if you're ready to share your journey.
Here's a preview of upcoming posts: Why Having No Plan Is The Best Plan. Cycling In Suburbia. What It Looks Like When Your City's Transportation Director is a CyclingSavvy Instructor.
All kinds of people showed up to our town's Blessing of Bicyclists. People in street clothes, the spandex-clad, little kids, and bike cops. The event was a testament to the impressive diversity of bicyclists and their bikes.
"We're here today to recognize the inherent goodness and holiness of cycling," the Reverend Jon Stratton said in his welcome to the assembly. Bicycles were everywhere in the sanctuary, even on the altar. Reverend Stratton sprinkled holy water on them, and on us.
First Annual "Blessing of Bicyclists" at St. Louis' Trinity Church
Inspiration for this event came from Madonna del Ghisallo, named the Patron Saint of Cyclists by the Catholic Church in 1949. Cyclists still make pilgrimage to a shrine on an Italian hilltop, near where the Virgin Mary was said to have miraculously saved Count Ghisallo from robbers during medieval times.
As I watched the ceremony, I was filled with gratitude for the miracle of bicycling. I also am well aware that it will take a miracle to make bicycling normal in America. That doesn't mean we won't try.
Meanwhile, a toast! Let's celebrate the weekly launch of The Savvy Cyclist:
Here's to Bicyclist-Friendly Communities, Everywhere.
Bless Everyone. No Exceptions.

In 2006 we consecrated several projects to the enforcement of necessary changes in the energy sector, not only at the local Czech level. We pushed for modification of the Nuclear Act, but in spite of a first favorable vote and a positive standpoint of the Environmental Committee deputies of the lower chamber of the Czech Parliament finally rejected it just before the general elections. We tried to contribute to the public debate with conceptual arguments raised at the international conference "Economic aspects of the nuclear energy" organized together with the Movement DUHA. Together with this association we continued our support to the population of villages concerned by plans of construction of a deep storage site of burned-out nuclear combustible. We helped to open a discussion on this topic at candidates' forum before the general elections in one of the selected localities. In order to support public discussion of a new proposal of the European Energy Policy in the Czech Republic, we elaborated our own suggestions and a web page with the possibility to send suggestions to this document directly to Brussels office. We finished the international project CER2 "Central European Regions Cluster for Energy from Renewables", to which since 2004 apart us participated fourteen partner organizations from Central Europe.
We participated to the organization of South-Bohemian Renewable Energy Day with a graphic contest "Clean Energy for the Blue Planet" for elementary schools and presentation of energy documentary films in the KOTVA cinema in Ceske Budejovice. We gave a number of lectures on renewable resources at high schools and universities and also to the general public. Together with the association Jihoceske matky we organized an exhibition of the photographer Vaclav Vasku reminding the twentieth anniversary of the Tchernobyl nuclear plant accident. We organized a training of ecologic consultants in Ceske Budejovice and also an excursion to a new Czech wind-power plant. We were very busy as energy consultants, too. Thanks to the participation in the South-Bohemian consultancy network the demand of consultancy considerably increased. Only on the energy issue, we received 266 questions.
Thanks to the support of the EU project "Protection of South-Bohemian Nature - citizens issue" granted through the intermediary of the Civic Society Development Foundation (NROS) we continued our activities linked to our direct participation in authorization and decision-making processes. We fully resumed the monitoring of long-term causes and campaigns. Thanks to the projects oriented to nature conservation in the military area of Boletice and against the construction of a winter sports center we obtained that peripheral parts of the military area of Boletice were released for soft tourism. Exceptionally successful was a two-days workshop with an excursion to Boletice.
Every month we actively participated in approx. 20 selected authorization and decision-making processes on ministerial, regional and local levels within the framework of the project "South-Bohemian Nature - with and for people". Depending on the importance of the issue, we were entering into the processes of environmental assessment for the constructions following the Act Nr. 100/2001 Sb. (EIA) and we tried to improve the involvement of general public and to attract more public attention to those processes. We were collaborating on this issue with other NGOs for which we organized a workshop on the issue of public participation in administrative processes, including the use of legislation on the right to information.
Further on we developed an expert program for the protection of sandpits with a valuable natural environment. Thanks to the support of the Ministry for Environment of the Czech Republic - the program Transition Facility, of the company Telefónica O2 and of private donors we succeeded to map the sandpits in South-Bohemian region and created an extensive database of localities with a photographic archive. We organized two lectures on gravel mining and protection of sandpits, one of these lectures resumed the long-term activities of Calla association in the protection of a nesting area of sand martins in Trebec sandpit, where we managed to get an important terrain permitting us to create a land owners association. In November, Calla organized the workshop "Importance, exploitation and protection of South-Bohemian sandpits" that had a great success among officials, miners and scholars.
The project KRASEC supported the number of cultural, information and educational events. Among the most successful was the exhibition "The Nature of Boletice", accompanied by topical lectures in different locations. Green Thursdays oriented to the protection of nature were traditionally met with interest from the general public. The care for the Brouskuv Mlyn National nature reserve focused on the organization of a weeklong student participation and cleaning of the water sources by members of the association. Thanks to the support of "large" projects we managed to publish several didactic and information materials, of which in particular the brochure The Nature of Boletice had a great success not only at exhibitions, but equally as a background material for the organization of celebrations of opening of the Bird Area of the Year.
Ecology Consulting of Calla Association - Advisory service for you!
Thanks to our partnership in the project of the South-Bohemian Regional Network of environmental centers KRASEC we strengthened and improved ecology consultancy capacity of the Calla association. We provide common ecology consulting, while specializing in two fields - nature and environment protection and sustainable energy. Part of the activities of the KRASEC network is also publishing of a quarterly bulletin consecrated to regional topics and environmental issues. The project will end in 2007, but a civic association KRASEC is being created, that will resume the existing consultancy network cooperation.
We publish the e-magazin "Ďáblík" which provides information about our activities and projects. It contains opinions, topical essays, invitations, advice and other important information. Information is also available on our Internet homepage. With the co-operation of the ROSA association we hold regular workshops called "Green Thursdays", with interesting guests discussing various topics concerning the environment. We regularly take part in ecological markets, with a stand with educational and advertising materials.


Welcome to Carol's Corner. Sorry it's been so long since my last edition. Was gone for a week and just haven't had time to get one started again. I wanted to share this amazing picture of my husband and myself at a Pre-Inaugural Ball on the 18th in DC, where we attended the Welcome Concert on the 19th and the Inauguration on the 20th. This is my most favorite picture EVER of the two of us, in all our 43 1/2 years of marriage. At some point we plan to have this made into an 11×14 picture that looks like a canvas. Everyone that sees this, tells me I look like a movie star in it. I adored this gown and felt really beautiful wearing it. It will always be my most favorite gown I have ever owned.
I was worried about not being able to exercise while we were there, but no worries. Both that Thursday and Friday I logged over 7 miles each day. And when we went to our daughter's in Pa, the weather was such that I got some outdoor walking in along with my walking workouts . I almost always take workouts to do down in their basement. I had almost decided to ditch my FitBit while on our trip. Glad I changed my mind because I made or exceeded my workout goals every day of our trip. Every trip we go on, I manage to find ways to walk or do workouts. It can be done, but you need to make a conscious decision to do so. It is something I never regret and gives me great satisfaction. Wearing my FitBit 24/7 makes me aware at all times where my activity level is at. I encourage all of you to invest in some kind of activity tracker. It really makes you more aware of how active you really are. I need to stay physically active for a number of health reasons. I can't even remember the last time I actually took a rest day ( except when I fractured my foot and ankle). I'll say I'm going to, but in the end I can't bring myself to do it. I can't wait till winter is over so I can resume my outdoor walking. Sometime this next week I have to find time to register for the Silver Sneakers Program through The United Health Care Medicare Advantage Plan, that Verizon has us enrolled in this year. It's kind of a nice perk, and I can enroll in both places in town that participate in it.
Just a little video clip to inspire you to get moving. Make time every day to do something, even if it's only 15 minutes. My motto these days is,"Use It Or Lose It"!
This brings me to the serious topic I would like to discuss with you. I'm going to start with these questions. Do you tend to dismiss or ignore for as long as you can, your bodies warning signs that something is awry? Do you think that if you ignore or pretend that nothing is wrong , that the signs are just going to miraculously disappear? I implore you not to do so. The importance of of not doing so, was brought home to me with a call from a friend of mine ,while we were recently gone on our DC trip. She called to talk to me from the hospital ,and informed me she had cancer. Not just any Cancer , but Stage 4 Liver Cancer. They told her she probably has had it for 6 months to a year. The thing is, she ignored all the signs that something wasn't right. She didn't tell her doctor everything that was going on inside her body. She just never took the time. If she had ,how much different would things be? A doctor can't know something is terribly wrong if you don't tell them. You need to be pro-active when it comes to your health. You need to be aware of your body on a day to day basis. No one knows it better than you. Have regular check ups and let your Dr know anything you think is unusual for you. Be as specific as you can. Get whatever routine bloodwork or tests your Dr suggests you need. Have screenings at intervals suggested by your health care providers ,such as Mammagrams and colenoscopies. They may just save your life. Because of my friend I am having a few things checked out myself. I had my thyroid nodules checked and they remained unchanged since last year. Don't have to go back for another year. One thing off my mind. Waiting on some test results to make sure I'm not developing kidney stones. Of course finally went to talk to the doctor about some intermittent pain I've been having , and the day of the test the pain stopped.But after finding out about my friend, I won't ignore anything I think is not quite right. I am going to post some links for you to read on important health tests that may just save your life. Please take time to read them. I also would love feedback from you, my readers. Let me know if there is a certain topic you would like to see me blog about.
I hope you will take this to heart and not end up like my friend Elsie. I have shed a number of tears over this and know there will be many more . Be pro-active when it comes to your health and well being. Your very Life could depend on it. But while you do that, remember to live each day to the fullest. Till next time, as always, God Bless.

Does the NFL Pay Taxes?
Steven WestLast Updated: September 24, 2014
A CNN report by Sean Kennedy and Drew Griffin attempts to answer the question of whether the National Football League (NFL) made a $10.5 billion profit in 2013, paid $44.2 million of it to its CEO Roger Goodell, but paid nothing in taxes to the US government.
Although the NFL pays taxes on revenue generated through its NFL Ventures and NFL Properties, it does not pay any taxes from its league headquarters located in Manhattan. This is because, according to an IRS ruling of 1942, the NFL with its 32 teams is a trade organization and therefore does not need to pay taxes. In 1966, the NFL was merged with the American Football League (AFL), and Pete Rozelle, the then commissioner of the NFL, confirmed that the league office would always be exempted from paying taxes.
Brian McCarthy, a spokesman for the NFL, says that taxes are paid on every dollar that the NFL earns from TV rights fees, tickets to games, sale of jerseys, and national-level sponsorships. But Senator Tom Coburn, a Republican from Oklahoma, does not agree. He says that individual teams and their owners pay taxes, but there is nothing to stop them from pooling their finances at the NFL as a nonprofit organization, adding that this "means they're not paying taxes like every other business that would be in a trade business like they are."
The NFL made over $326 million in 2012-13, and Goodell would be one of the top 20 highest paid CEOs for public companies in the US.

Silent Halloween
Around 1925. Bebe Daniels is one of the most popular stars of the silent era. Cecil B DeMille has pestered her into signing with Paramount Studios, who issued this photo and for whom she makes over 50 movies. She's in her mid-20s when she poses for this shoot and will go on to transition successfully to the 'talkies'. By the time she retires from movie-making, she will have over 230 movies to her credit.
According to IMDb, while Bebe Daniels was making a personal appearance at a Chicago hotel, several thousand dollars' worth of jewelry was stolen from her hotel room. Gangster Al Capone, a longtime Daniels fan, heard about it and put out the word that whoever stole the jewelry had 24 hours to return it "or else." The jewelry was returned the next day.

The Polish government has reduced the number of vehicles that can qualify for the lower tax rate charged for a commercial vehicle.
In the past, all a car owner had to do to get the tax break was add a metal screen between the passenger seats and cargo area.
"The formula for calculating commercial and passenger cars keeps changing and this tinkering has only brought in instability," said PricewaterhouseCoopers partner David Green in Warsaw. "If this trend continues, only the Smart ForTwo will qualify as a business car under the new law."
Polish industry groups have been pushing for an annual car tax for all car owners that would be based on variables such as engine size and vehicle age.
"We should be trying to stabilize the market," said SAMAR head Wojciech Drzewiecki, "not create barriers."


According to the National Association of Home Builders/First American Improving Markets Index (IMI), the number of housing markets considered "improving" surged by 76 to a total of 201 metros in December, according to IMI data released today. The index also shows that the number of states represented on the list by at least one metro increased from 38 in November to 44 (plus the District of Columbia) in December.
The index identifies metropolitan areas that have shown improvement from their respective troughs in housing permits, employment and house prices for at least six consecutive months. A total of 84 new metros were added to the list and eight were dropped from it this month. Newly added metros include such geographically diverse locations as Atlanta, Ga.; Bloomington, Ill.; Ann Arbor, Mich.; Seattle, Wash.; and Green Bay, Wis.
"The dramatic expansion of improving markets at the end of this year should help encourage consumers who may have been on the fence about a home purchase that a housing recovery is now firmly underway," added Kurt Pfotenhauer, vice chairman of First American Title Insurance Company.
The IMI is designed to track housing markets throughout the country that are showing signs of improving economic health. The index measures three sets of independent monthly data to get a mark on the top improving Metropolitan Statistical Areas. The three indicators that are analyzed are employment growth from the Bureau of Labor Statistics, housing price appreciation from Freddie Mac and single-family housing permit growth from the U.S. Census Bureau. NAHB uses the latest available data from these sources to generate a list of improving markets. A metropolitan area must see improvement in all three measures for at least six consecutive months following those measures' respective troughs before being included on the improving markets list.

As the cost of digital advertising and CPI continues to rise, game developers have to explore new marketing tactics to promote their games and acquire users. Leveraging influencers and KOL has become an evolving trend. However, for most game developers, especially those who target oversea users, it's hard to find the right influencers or KOL who match with their games given culture difference. Even after finding the right influencers, it's hard to engage with them effectively so they can sustainably help your game promotion, as each influencer has a different audience and a different style. In many cases, game publishers just throw money into YouTube, Facebook, and Twitch influencers, without measuring the performance of influencer marketing.
One way to do influencer marketing is to outsource to third party influencer agencies, which help to save time and cost of sourcing influencers. While the biggest problem of outsourcing is, agencies will use the same set of processes to deal with all games. It's hard for popular influencers to pay enough attention and customize their promotional effort for each game. Also, for different countries and regions, forms of cooperation are not the same. Influencer agencies in Asia usually are more good at influencer resource integration and have stronger impact in local markets, while in Europe and the United States influencers tend to be more independent and prefers direct collaboration with games companies.
A more reliable approach is for game publishers to reach out to and establish collaboration with influencers directly, as most appropriate influencers/KOL may not be in agency's list. Also, agencies may not understand the game as well as publishers, therefore may not be able to select most suitable influencers. It is difficult to maximize the performance of influencer marketing.
Then, how can game developers or publishers find the most suitable influencers/KOL to work with?
First, game publishers should understand the demographic information of each influencer's audience, as well as historical cases and performance of influencers. Based on that, game publishers can narrow down the list of influencers for collaboration.
Many influencers and KOLs have their own style and game category to work with. A common mistake is reaching out to influencers one by one based on their number of fans, and see who respond. A better approach is to know your game and your goal in each market, and also know influencer's area to decide the match rate, and then come out with an appropriate list. An influencer with 10 million fans may not be able to achieve best promotional effect for a game. Instead some influencers with only 200K fans may bring much better performance if they fit with your game.
Investigate influencer's fan base and past successful cases is time consuming. Leveraging influencer analysis tool can help game publishers to get these insights accurately and fast, therefore make the right decision quicker. SocialPeta is such an influencer marketing insights tool. You can clearly see which influencer has promoted what game and how the promotion performs. For example, Markiplier, is a popular Youtube influencer for horror games. From SocialPeta's insights tool, you'll see that almost 60% of his commercial video has horror theme. And his fans are mostly in United States and United Kingdom, therefore he is a perfect influencer for horror games in US and UK.
With a narrowed list of influencers, the next important thing for game publishers is to ensure that their marketing content style is similar to influencer's style. Don't expect influencers to accommodate to the style of your game or marketing content, as influencers are known for their specific style and that's why they became influencers. Some game companies do not fully understand the situation. They produce content for influencers (eg. a cartoon video) and require "no violence, insult and offensive content". However, foul language and violence might be the style of the influencer. SocialPeta helps game publishers to understand influencer's past cases and determine whether it's a good content match in advance.
Measurement of performance of historical promotion is a key factor in sourcing the right influencers. Different from advertising, which is measured by CPI and number of installs, # download is only one of the measurement metrics for influencers. The key goal of influencer marketing is to engage with users. SocialPeta also shares engagement metrics of influencer's each event, including interaction and conversion of an event.
For example, Garena's new MOBA game "Legend of Duel" has partnered with many showgirl influencers in Taiwan. These Showgirls have lots of male fans who are potential targets of the game. The Aries, for example, has about 140,000 fans on Facebook. She made two videos for the game and each brings around 265 downloads for "Legend of Duel".
Last but not least, game publishers should leave enough time for their influencers to play the game, so influencers fully experience and understand the game before promote it. Only in this way influencers can create most realistic, authentic, and attractive marketing content to attract more users.

How the Hope for Haiti Now Telethon Came Together
MTV's CEO tells PEOPLE she thought the surprise call from George Clooney was a prank at first
By Liza Hamm
Credit: EP/WUF/Splash News Online
Nobody helps a charity event come together quicker than George Clooney.
Two days after the devastating earthquake in Haiti, Judy McGrath, the CEO of MTV Networks, was starting to plan a benefit for the devastated nation when her phone rang. "My assistant said, 'George Clooney is on the phone,' " she tells PEOPLE. Her reaction? "That's just Brad Grey [CEO of Paramount Pictures] fooling around.
But the call wasn't a prank. Clooney was on the line offering his help. "He jumped in with such incredible commitment," says McGrath. "And he had already spoken to Bono, Wyclef, Sting and Bruce [Springsteen]." The result? Hope for Haiti Now – a star-studded two-hour telethon airing Friday that will feature musical performances from Los Angeles, New York City and London, plus live reporting from CNN's Anderson Cooper in Haiti.
"We've all seen that music plays a role in horrible times," says McGrath. "It's healing and mobilizing. If we bring the music and George brings his incredible advocacy and all his relationships, we'll have something really strong."
For the last few days, the group has been working around the clock to put together a great show with special performances by Springsteen, Shakira, Justin Timberlake, Alicia Keys, Jennifer Hudson and Taylor Swift among others.

Proceeds from the telethon will be split evenly between The Clinton Bush Haiti Fund, United Nations World Food Programme, Oxfam America, Partners in Health, The Red Cross, UNICEF and the Yele Haiti Foundation.
"I won't feel right about this unless we raise tons and tons of money," says McGrath.
The show will be the most widely distributed telethon in history and will air on more than 25 networks.

Bird of prey: county man behind white tailed sea eagle reintroduction project hopes they come to Limerick
Donal O'Regan
THE LIMERICKMAN behind the rare white tailed sea eagle reintroduction project is hoping they will breed in Limerick.
Dr Allan Mee, Ballyorgan is the manager of the project that hopes to restore the extinct bird to the Irish countryside. And as a Limerick man he would be delighted to see a pair or two nesting and breeding in his home county.
He says the Lower Shannon, taking in the Mulkear catchment, Lough Gur and the Shannon Estuary are all good nesting habitats.
"The white tailed sea eagle is a fish eater. It is one of the few eagles that can fish, most of the prey animals that are brought to the young in the nest are fish.
"Because of their dependency on fish they are very much tied to water. You won't get them in farmland miles from water. They need to have suitable trees or cliffs for nesting and be on the coast or close to a sizeable water body like a lake or a good sized river," said Dr Mee.
In 2007, the Golden Eagle Trust, in collaboration with the National Parks and Wildlife Service, released 100 white tailed sea eagles in Killarney National Park.
"We have released 100 birds in the wild over the five year period. Of the 100 we have recovered 19 dead. There has been a fair bit of poisoning, nine were confirmed. Some would be natural causes.
"We are hoping in the next couple of years we have enough birds alive to begin to breed," said Mr Mee.
As it takes five years for the eagles to reach maturity Mr Mee says they are hoping for the first breeding in the wild this year.
"They are just getting to the age where they can breed now," said Mr Mee, who would love to see them settle in his native place.
"The birds will choose themselves. It's totally up to the birds and hopefully it would be nice to see a pair or two in Limerick," he adds.
Some of the eagles have satellite transmitters and one bird paid a flying visit to Limerick around Christmas 2010.
"It was there for several weeks. He roosted around Shanagolden and near the tunnel," said Dr Mee.
At one time the white tailed sea eagle was fairly common in Ireland.
"The last documented breeding in the wild was in 1898 in Kerry. The last individual bird was shot in 1910. For breeding they've been gone about 110 years.
"There was a lot of big Victorian estates at the time and they employed gamekeepers. There was a lot of sport shooting in the estates - deer, pheasant, grouse - so birds of prey were generally persecuted. It was that type of mentality and the arrival of poison in the 19th century was a critical factor in wiping out birds of prey," he explains.
Mr Mee is speaking at one of four talks organised by MulkearLIFE commencing on February 6. Dr Mee's talk, entitled white tailed sea eagles on the lower Shannon – a dream or a possibility? takes place at 8pm on February 20 in Inland Fisheries Ireland Office, Dock Road.

Press TV takes revolutionary steps as the first Iranian international news network
Teargas flies as Yellow Vests hit Paris for 15th week
Police teargassed and clashed with Yellow Vest protesters who had taken on Paris streets on Saturday.
Clashes unfolded as protesters arrived at the Eiffel Tower where at least one person was arrested by the police.
This marks the 15th week of demonstration against French President Emmanuel #Macron's economic policies. According to #France's Interior Ministry, a total of 41,500 people took part in #protests throughout the country on the past Saturday, a clear decrease on the 282,000 peak during the beginning of the movement.
Organizers of the marches, however, state that the number of participants is considerably higher.

A Convoluted Rollercoaster Ride!
Posted on June 2, 2022 June 2, 2022 by Gaslamp Foundation
Sterling Hardware Building
Architectural Style: Victorian Commercial/ Commercial
Architect: Unknown
Contractor (1924) – W.E. Kier
From the first sale in 1867 of Lot I on Block 083/96, from Alonzo Horton to Jacob Lehr for $150, this modest property has been a whirlwind of activity. To say that numerous and complicated title transfers are recorded would be an understatement! The title passed back and forth and through 19 owners from 1867 until 1978.
Early on it passed from Horton to Lehr, from Lehr to W.H. Ormerd ($1,200), and from Ornerd to August Michaelson for a paltry $5.00! That was quite a loss! However, Ormerd recovered the property the next day for the same $5.00, and managed to hold onto it until 1881, when he sold it to Jeremiah Browell for $500, but once more recovered it for $250. Through 1883, the lot remained vacant, but sported a sidewalk at the front of the property, as Ormerd was a paver by trade. This series of convoluted events was enough to make one's head spin!
But wait – by 1887, Ormerd had built a one-story, shingle roofed, 20' x 20' frame dwelling on the south side of the property. The north half remained empty but was leased to H.F. McGarvie and James Tenbrooke for $100 monthly. By 1889, Ormerd had regained control of the north walk of the lot, constructed a building on the site, and leased it to Ramona Wolf. Mrs. Wolf was rumored to be the same woman used by novelist, Helen Hunt Jackson, as her model for Ramona, the fictionalized account of the eviction of the Temecula Indians from their land in east county. The building was referred to as the Standard Theater building. Unfortunately, in 1889, the Standard Theater reported an "unrehearsed event" when a trapeze artist made a leap from the upper bar, but missed the waiting hands of the "catcher" on the lower bar. The Standard was forced to close and regroup. Upon its re-opening, the Standard suffered more bad luck. The promotor, Peter Johnson, brought in a huge crowd with a brass band parade, but then tried to hop a train with the money bag of theater revenue, which was supposed to have been used to pay the performers. He was caught just in the nick of time!
After re-grouping yet again, the theater was reopened by H.L. Leavitt, a well-known theatrical manager, who was to "refit and refurbish" and provide an opening show replete with a complete company of Eastern performers. Once again, the building was packed to the doors, and this time Lady Luck was with the Standard, and an excellent opening was recorded.
The refurbished building was now 25' X 100", with two interior balconies running lengthwise along the sides, with a short, curved section where they met about 20' from 6th Street. Stairways on either side provided entry to the brick-faced, frame, two-story structure. Mr. Ornerd then sold everything to George Goodwin, who promptly sold it to John Kastle.
Not to be outdone, Kastle sold the south half of the property two days later to Lyman Weed and John Watawa. Two weeks later, Watawa bought out Weed. Meanwhile, John Kastle sold the north half of the property to Moritz Trepte, a general contractor. Trepte used the area between the balconies in front of the stage as his carpentry area. By 1970, the San Diego Union referred to him as "one of the Pacific Southwest's leading contractors." He ultimately retired to Point Loma, where a street is named after him.
While Trepte toiled in the Standard Theater building, Watawa, a carriage maker, continued his trade next door. By 1906, Mr. Trepte sold his half of the lot to Lemon G. Hine, who immediately sold it to Carl Alex Johnson. During 1906, Trepte had built a three-story brick building on the adjoining lot for Johnson and Lucille Forman. Mrs. Forman retained her interest until 1907, when she sold it to B. L. Willliams. It then became the headquarters for the C. Holle Company, purveyors of "all kinds of glasswork."
Back to the north half of the property – Mary Hine, now a widow, sold her half of the lot to Frederick Fenning in 1919, and he transferred title to the W.E. Kier Construction Company in 1924. Kier had also purchased the south side of the property from the Bank of California National Association, who had gotten the property by way of a public auction. Finally – the entirety of Lot I was under one ownership. At last – no more confusion!
Shortly after Kier's purchase, he began construction on a building, the "Sterling Company," which would cover the entire lot. It was a one-story brick structure, 50' x 100' with a 16' ceiling supported by wooden posts throughout the interior. Glass doors and display windows opened onto a wood plank floor. Non-opening glass windows with wooden trim were featured above the windows and doors. The Sterling Company provided new and used plumbing supplies, hardware and secondhand goods for many years.
In 1949, Kier transferred the property to his son-in-law and daughter, William and Ernestine Kier Norgren. They, in turn, sold the property in 1962 to John C. and Myrna B. Jarvis for $20,000. By 1979, the Jarvis' had sold the property to Robert Sinclair of La Jolla. The saga continues!
By 1996, Wayne Donaldson and his wife, Nancy, were listed as owners of the structure. Mr. Donaldson is a noted architect and preservationist in the area.
The Sparks Gallery, present day owners, now call this well-traveled building their home. The spacious gallery features original contemporary artwork, jewelry and vintage collectibles, and additionally serves as a venue for art shows and events.

Sleep apnea symptoms not only impact your quality of life, but also, over time, may contribute to more serious health risks like heart disease, stroke, Type 2 diabetes, and high blood pressure. The medical sleep community recognizes sleep apnea as a condition that can be effectively managed but not cured.
If you think sleep disordered breathing might be an issue for you, fill out our online sleep apnea evaluation form, and talk to your family physician about the screening program available at Pacific Sleep Care.
Diagnosing sleep disordered breathing conditions begins with becoming aware of typical sleep apnea symptoms. Start with an online evaluation to see how the most common symptoms of sleep apnea might be affecting your day-to-day activities.
If the initial evaluation confirms that you are experiencing sleep apnea symptoms, the next step is to establish if you do, in fact, have sleep apnea. We will provide you with a portable home monitor at no cost to measure your breathing patterns while you sleep in the comfort of your own bed.
Pacific Sleep Care follows the Canadian Sleep Society protocols for home monitoring. A Registered Polysomnographic Technician will read and score your results, which will provide the information needed for a sleep apnea diagnosis.
The cause of sleep apnea can be physical, neurological, or both. Diagnosing sleep apnea involves finding the cause of the apnea, which determines treatment. The most common cause is a blockage to the upper airway, a condition called obstructive sleep apnea or OSA. In most cases OSA is successfully managed with CPAP or oral appliance therapy.

Case Studies in Immunology, Seventh Edition is intended for medical students and undergraduate and graduate students in immunology. It presents major topics of immunology through a selection of clinical cases that reinforce and extend the basic science. Each case history is preceded by essential scientific facts about the immunological mechanisms of that specific disorder. The cases demonstrate how immunological problems are deconstructed in the clinic and each one is followed by a concise summary of the clinical finding, key questions, and discussion points. The book includes a total of 55 cases and can be used as either a stand-alone text, review aid, or as a companion to Janeway's Immunobiology, Ninth Edition and The Immune System, Fourth Edition. Six new cases have been added to this edition: DOCK8 deficiency, activated PI3K delta syndrome, increased susceptibility to candida infections, LRBA deficiency, T cell signaling defects, and channelopathies.
The immune system is central to human health and the focus of much medical research. Growing understanding of the immune system, and especially the creation of immune memory (long lasting protection), which can be harnessed in the design of vaccines, have been major breakthroughs in medicine. In this Very Short Introduction, Paul Klenerman describes the immune system, and how it works in health and disease. In particular he focuses on the human immune system, considering how it evolved, the basic rules that govern its behaviour, and the major health threats where it is important. The immune system comprises a series of organs, cells and chemical messengers which work together as a team to provide defence against infection. Klenerman discusses these components, the critical signals that trigger them and how they exert their protective effects, including so-called "innate" immune responses, which react very fast to infection, and "adaptive" immune responses, which have huge diversity and a capacity to recognise and defend against a massive array of micro-organisms. Klenerman also considers what happens when our immune systems fail to be activated effectively, leading to serious infections, problems with inherited diseases, and also HIV/AIDS. At the opposite extreme, as Klenerman shows, an over-exaggerated immune response leads to inflammatory diseases such as Multiple Sclerosis and Rheumatoid Arthritis, as well as allergy and asthma. Finally he looks at the "Immune system v2.o" — how immune therapies and vaccines can be advanced to protect us against the major diseases of the 21st century. ABOUT THE SERIES: The Very Short Introductions series from Oxford University Press contains hundreds of titles in almost every subject area. These pocket-sized books are the perfect way to get ahead in a new subject quickly. Our expert authors combine facts, analysis, perspective, new ideas, and enthusiasm to make interesting and challenging topics highly readable.

We Have Appeared In
BLACK UNICORN FACTORY CRACKS THE UNICORN STARTUP CODE
Black Unicorn Factory In Los Angeles Specializes in Building Unicorn Startups using an unorthodox strategy to create billion-dollar status LOS ANGELES – A new African American startup Accelerator has created a game-changing new way to transform any startup into a profitable, valuable and indisputable startup.
Black Unicorn Factory is a launched African-American Accelerator program that is capable of creating rapid growth, adding value and revenue to any tech startup when applied. "Many startup gurus believe that growth is about product improvements, but in reality, it's more about the crowd.
"We have mastered something called "Crowd Catching", says Stewart, Founder, and CEO of the Black Unicorn Factory. "It took us 8 years and four months to come up with a formula to create valuable and profitable businesses", says Stewart.
The Black Unicorn Factory has a new business model that is completely superior to what is taught by others. A test was recently conducted on 68 startups. In less than six weeks each of those startups using the Crowd Catching strategy grossed over 7.5 million in revenue and have an average valuation of over $100 million after being appraised by an accredited business valuation expert.
"Most schools of business are teaching students how to fail 90% of the time they were taught. We have a new approach that makes startups failure resistant and disruption resistant. It's like having insurance against failure and disruption. The Black Unicorn Factory has found a new game-changing way to not only make companies disruption and failure resistant but to create 25 additional streams of income within a startup using this new Crowd Catching formula. Most Startups only have one or two forms of income, and we can add 25 streams of additional income to a startup's bottom line", Stewart added.
"Almost One trillion dollars is invested in startups per year and 90% of investors' money will be lost because of the 90% failure rate. If you could prevent even one percent of that you would be saving hundreds of millions of dollars. Most startups fail at a rate of 90%, we have found a way to cut that down to 9%. We intend to take the US Startup market by storm with our new game-changing accelerated growth strategy for small businesses. This enterprising new development program, now commonly referred to as an 'accelerator' has recently raised a Series B round raising over $420 million and now has a valuation of 6.1 billion". he added.
"This is historic for many reasons because currently, only 1% of all startups receive funding Angel investors who pitch their ideas, and of that 1% on Black startups receive less than 1% of that 1% which is just about saying almost nothing is invested in Black Startups. 1% is closer to 0% than it is to 100%, that's going to change, and it's already started," says Stewart.
To date, this is the first and largest investment ever made in any African American lead Technology startup. Currently, there are over 500 Unicorns in the world but only three are owned by African Americans.
Johnny Stewart, the CEO of this new startup talked confidently about the potential of this new accelerator platform "This is a real game-changer in Venture Capital Investing. This is the first time that a startup can become a Billion Dollar company without using traditional funding sources." He continues by saying, "We are revolutionizing venture capital investing. Startups now have a choice in venture capital funding. Only 1% of all Startups seeking venture capital today receive venture capital funding. African American Startups receive 1% of that 1% of venture capital funding, that's horrible!! But that's all about to change," Stewart concluded.
The Black Unicorn Factory specializes in turning normal small startups into Unicorns. Someone might be thinking, what do they mean by a unicorn? Well, the name unicorn refers to a tech company with an evaluation of one billion dollars or more. In essence, the Black Unicorn Factory is helping startups to achieve this level of success. The new symbol of business success today is a Unicorn, but there aren't any African American Unicorns in existence.
The Black Unicorn Factory has gained a reputation for being one of the nation's best groups of growth hackers. With an estimated combined experience of over one hundred years, they can transform any tech startup into a profitable Billion Dollar company.
John Stewart also discussed how they were able to get to this point. "This was thought by many to be impossible, but we have now shattered that belief. We have been beta testing our system for eight years now and I am delighted to say that we have now perfected the process." It does indeed appear that all other Venture Capital backed startups have competition now! This startup claims that their Unicorns are going to be Bigger, Faster, Smarter, and Stronger than other Unicorns.
They also have a new app that will soon be released "Follow Me For Equity". After downloading this app everyone can follow the company on its social media platform and they can "Earn Equity" in that company which will become a unicorn. This means millions can now invest in Billion-dollar tech startups without having to invest a single dollar.
The Black Unicorn Factory's target market is "Indigent Investors". Indigent investors are those in society who would like to invest but can't afford to. As already alluded to, they are targeting people who once believed that if they didn't have any money they couldn't invest. In doing so it will change the way everyone thinks about investing.
There are over 50 companies in the Black Union Factory, and all of these companies are on a clear path to going public in 12 months. Their exit strategy gives the investor a way to cash the stock that they received for following a Pre IPO company on social media. Black Unicorn Factory's program also teaches those new to investing the process of investing and evaluating companies.
In conclusion, this is a landmark moment in the history of African American startups in the tech arena. What this company has been able to achieve is remarkable and when everyone considers the historical context of their achievements, it only makes it more impressive. The average American is never invited to invest in unicorn companies before they go public so this does present a fantastic opportunity.
The CEO of this company Johnny Stewart has Over 30 years of experience in building Startups, he can be described as a serial Entrepreneur, Activist, Author, Investor, Philanthropist, speaker, and mentor.

PayPal recently acquired the mobile payments provider, Zong, for $240 million, and has set their sights on changing the world.
According to PayPal, the year 2015 will be the end of the wallet. "As the trend toward digital currency continues to gain momentum, we are focused on delivering solutions that are not just new and different, but better than what is currently the norm today. We believe that by 2015 digital currency will be accepted everywhere in the U.S. – from your local corner store to Walmart. We will no longer need to carry a wallet," PayPal President Scott Thompson said.
PayPal is even going as far as conducting a study to see how things will be like with no wallets. Five Bay-area residents are being required to use their mobile phone to pay for all their purchases. "How confident are we in achieving this goal? So confident that we've asked five Bay area employees to embrace a digital lifestyle and use only digital currency to pay for all of their purchases. The five lucky winners will be announced at an employee event on July 11th," Thompson added.
Just recently, Google introduced its Google Wallet service, a near field communications (NFC) payment system that will turn an Android device into a mobile payment system.


Clyde's Under 13 youth team competed in the Helensburgh Bi-Centennial Tournament held on the Bank Holiday weekend from Friday 31 May to Monday 3 June at Helensburgh Rugby Club. By the end of the week-end they had won a trophy.
The other teams in Clyde's Group A were Leven Thistle, Giffnock S.C., Clyde Centre and a strong represenative side from Canada, B.C.Soccer (British Columbia Soccer Association). After a 2-2 draw against Leven, Clyde faced a strong BC. Soccer team who were not only stronger but quicker to the ball than Clyde and B.C. Soccer won 4-1.
Clyde could now only finish second in their group and needed two good displays with plenty of goals to boost ther goal average which they duly did by winning 14-0 against Giffnock and 9-0 against Clyde Centre. These results meant they finished second in the group and would play the winners of Group B in the semi-finals, which was a Mid-Wales league select.
With the rain pouring down it was decided to play the match 15 minutes each way. Clyde were on top for most of the game but were unable to find the net and the game went to penalties. Clyde scored their five penalties with goals from Raymond Inglis, Nicky Johnston, Allan Dallas, John Telfer and David McNaught. Trialist goalkeeper Sam Goldfarb. who has since signed for Clyde, saved a penalty and Clyde won 5-4. In the other semi B.C. Soccer defeated Livingston B.C. 4-2.
The Clyde team and coaches were looking forward to again playing B.C.Soccer as it was felt they had not done themselves justice in the group match. The team changed their system and played 5-4-1. This change and an inprovement in the players' attitude saw the Bully Wee boys deservedly and comfortably win 1-0 with a first half goal from left back John Telfer who hit a low angled shot past an excellent B.C. Soccer keeper.
This was not only an excellent win but a chance for the Clyde coaches to see three trialist players all of whom they signed. The successful squad was 1-Chris Hanley, 2-Gary McDevitt, 3-John Telfer, 4-Tony Stevenson, 5-Alan Dallas (pictured and captain) 6-Nicky Johnston, 7-Steven Cusik, 8-Mark Gallagher, 9-David Ferrie, 10-Paul McLean, 11-Raymond Inglis, 12-Willie Duncan, 14-David McNaught, 15-Piero Quintiliani, 16-Stephen Donnelly, 17-Sam Goldfarb.
