HCG is a hormone that helps the body to regulate metabolic processes. When introduced into the body in conjunction with a low-calorie diet as part of a medically supervised HCG Diet plan, HCG can stimulate the metabolism to burn fat stores for energy to make up for the low caloric intake as part of an HCG Diet plan which can be limited to as few as 500 calories per day. Even while taking in so few calories per day, patients participating in an HCG Diet plan feel little or none of the adverse side effects of hunger or fatigue as their bodies are metabolizing fat to provide the energy needed to function normally.
the quickest and safest way to lose that stubborn outer layer of fat that frequently is the hardest to lose.
How do HCG Diet plans work?
After medical tests are conducted to determine the unique needs of your body, an HCG diet specialist will design a low calorie diet and determine a daily HCG dosage that will maximize your weight loss results. HCG diet plans are usually conducted in 30 to 40 day courses and require patients to adhere to a strict diet supplemented with daily doses of HCG hormones. HCG hormones have been safely used in both men and women, burning fat stores to preserve muscle integrity and energy levels, whilst preventing the negative side effects of hunger.
This is what sets the HCG diet plan apart from other diets, the HCG hormone allows the body to obtain the sustenance required to maintain normal daily function and prevent muscle loss by burning fat stores as a source of energy and protein. For this reason, most patients that lose weight using an HCG diet plan are able to keep the weight off. They are losing fat, not muscle, and throughout the process developing healthier eating habits and a rejuvenated metabolism.
If you are unhappy with your body image, have a BMI over 20%, or have been diagnosed with clinical obesity, contact Blue Med Center today.
Yes, it is very safe. The amount of HCG used in weight loss programs is small compared to what is naturally released in pregnancy. The only exceptions involve patients with hormone-related cancer, an allergy to HCG, or extremely early puberty.
The average weight loss is a whopping 10 to 25 pounds in three weeks. But the closer you are to your body's ideal weight, the slower you will lose weight. The slowest loser usually loses about 1/2 a pound a day.
Does weight loss slow down after the first month?
Most people lose weight quickly in the beginning, and then begin to level off. This does not mean they stop losing weight, only that they are losing it more slowly. Some patients opt to do a second round of HCG. During this time, they can have another large drop in weight, followed by a slower rate.
Will the low-calorie diet cause my metabolism to slow down?
Not at all. The normal response to a low-calorie diet is to store fat and slow the metabolism to ensure survival. When HCG is used in conjunction with a low-calorie diet, the body's excess fat reserves are burned as energy to support its needs. So, the body figures it's getting the nourishment it needs, therefore you are not as hungry.
If I eat a very low-calorie diet without HCG, will I lose the same amount of weight?
No. Without it, your body goes into "starvation mode" and tries to store fat. Your metabolism slows down. It's almost like a bear going into hibernation for the winter.
Will I get hungry on this diet?
Each of us is different. Some people get hungry; some don't. Hunger is the body's way of telling you "feed me!" HCG stimulates your body to burn fat as energy, so your body's energy needs are being met. This will help reduce hunger in most people, because the body has plenty of energy to use.
Will I be depleted of vitamins and nutrients?
Not at all. First, this diet is short. Second, every time you lose a pound of fat, which will happen almost daily, only the actual fat is burned. All the vitamins, proteins and minerals are fed back into the body. That's good news for us all!
Will HCG interfere with any medication I am taking?
HCG does not interfere with any medications, including birth control. There will be no side effects.
Will my menstrual cycle change while I am taking HCG?
Patients should not experience any changes in their menstrual cycle because the amount of HCG being used is very small.
Why don't pregnant women lose weight?
The body must go into a starvation mode for HCG to work. Most pregnant women are well nourished and do not fall into this category; therefore, they do not lose weight. Instead they gain weight appropriate for the growth of the baby. For weight loss, we use a very low-calorie diet to stimulate HCG to help rid the body of fat.
What blood work do I need beforehand?
We run basic blood work. Our friendly and expert medical staff will discuss this with you.
Can men use the HCG Weight Loss program?
Don't worry, men – HCG will not make you more feminine. Or women more masculine. HCG's actions are identical in men, women and children. Men can safely use the program as long as they do not have a hormone dependent cancer (such as prostate cancer).
Who create the HCG Weight Loss program?
The HCG diet plans offered by Blue Med Center are based on the research of Doctor Albert T.W. Simeons, and have been providing dramatic weight loss results for men and women for over 60 years. Doctor Simeons uncovered the potential of the HCG hormone to help obese patients lose weight while conducting medical research in India. In his research, Doctor Simeons began to notice something particularly amazing in observing impoverished pregnant women who worked long hours and could afford very little food. These women were somehow able to give birth to healthy, full-weight infants despite the general malnutrition in their own bodies.
After much study and research, Doctor Simeon concluded that the Human Chorionic Gonadotropin (HCG) hormone, produced naturally by a woman's body during pregnancy, was responsible for preserving the health of these infants born to the poverty-stricken, hard working women. The HCG hormone is activated in the woman's body in conditions of starvation or malnutrition, targeting fat stores to be metabolized in order to supplement an inadequate daily caloric intake. This fat that had been stored by the body was converted into the energy and nutrients the fetus needed to develop fully.
Doctor Simeon took these findings and began to use HCG hormone supplementation in conjunction with a low-calorie diet to effect drastic weight loss results in many of his patients suffering from obesity and weight loss resistance. In 1954, Doctor Albert Simeons published his findings in his book entitled "Pounds and Inches – A New Approach to Obesity" in which he discusses his work and research with obesity and treatments using the hormone Human Chorionic Gonadotropin.

How Egregious Can You Get?
The gold price didn't do much when trading began at 6:00 p.m. EDT in New York on Sunday evening. That all changed at 9 a.m. China Standard Time on their Monday morning — and two hours later it was down about seven bucks. It got dropped another two bucks shortly before 9 a.m. in London — and at precisely 1:00 p.m. BST/8:00 a.m. EDT, the rug got yanked out from under the gold price once again, with most of the price damage coming by a few minutes before 9 a.m. in New York. It didn't do much from there until the 1:30 p.m. COMEX close — and edged a few dollars higher in the thinly-traded after-hours market.
The high and low ticks in this precious metal were reported by the CME Group as $1,208.00 and $1,186.00 in the December contract.
Gold finished the Monday trading session at $1,187.50 spot, down $15.20 on the day — and a goodly distance away from its 50-day moving average. Net HFT volume was very heavy at just over 309,000 contracts — and roll-over/switch volume was 11,625 contracts on top of that.
Except for the odd squiggle here and there, JPMorgan managed the silver price in a similar manner up until around 8:35 a.m. in New York. It chopped quietly lower from there — and its low tick of the day appeared to come at the 11 a.m. EDT London close. It then traded pretty flat for an hour, before edging higher until around 3 p.m. in after-hours trading — and didn't do much of anything after that.
The high and low ticks in this precious metal were recorded as $14.70 and $14.285 in the December contract.
Silver was closed in New York yesterday at $14.35 spot, down 28 cents from Friday. Net volume was pretty chunky at just over 86,000 contracts — and there was only 3,037 contracts worth of roll-over/switch volume in that precious metal.
The platinum price followed the silver price pretty closely on Monday, complete with the engineered price decline at 8:00 a.m. in New York — and the 8:35 a.m. low tick thirty minutes later. Both sharp rallies after that were hammered lower. Shortly after Zurich close, the platinum price crawled quietly higher for the remainder of the Monday trading session. It was closed at $818 spot, down 3 bucks from Friday.
The palladium price was sold mostly lower starting at 9 a.m. China Standard Time in Far East trading on their Monday morning — and the Zurich low came about ninety minutes after their open. It rallied a bunch from there in very short order — and then traded sideways until 8 a.m. EDT. Like platinum and silver its low was set shortly after 8:30 a.m. in New York — and it chopped unsteadily higher for the rest of the day. It was actually allowed to close up on the day at $1,074 spot, up 5 bucks.
The dollar index closed very late on Friday afternoon in New York at 95.60 — and really didn't do much of anything when trading began at 6:00 p.m. EDT on Sunday evening. That all changed starting a few minutes before 8:15 a.m. China Standard Time on their Monday morning. It began to 'rally' rather sharply at that juncture — and the 96.03 high tick was placed a few minutes before 9 a.m. in New York. It was a choppy down hill ride from there until a minute or two before 2 p.m. EDT — and it edged very unevenly higher from there into the close. The dollar index finished the Monday session in New York at 95.76…up 16 basis points from Friday.
If you can lay mentally lay the precious metal charts on top of the dollar index charts below, you'll find that there's little, if any, correlation. All the price decline/price capping operations were of the engineered variety in the precious metals, with the coordinated sell-off at the 8:00 a.m. EDT in New York being the most egregious of several. Here's the 1-day U.S. dollar index.
And here's the 3-day chart, so you can see the goings-on from the start of trading at 6 p.m. EDT in New York on Sunday evening.
And here's the 1-year U.S. dollar index chart — and the delta between the close on it — and the intraday chart above, was 32 basis points.
The gold shares gapped down a bit over 2 percent at the open — and their respective lows were set a few minutes before the 11 a.m. EDT London close. They began to head higher from there — and actually popped into the green in the last few minutes of trading on Monday afternoon in New York. The HUI closed up 0.28 percent!
The silver equities gapped down just about 2 percent at the open — and their respective lows came around 11:40 a.m. in New York trading. Then, like the gold stocks, they began to head higher as well — and were in the green by an hour and a bit before trading ended at 4:00 p.m. EDT. Nick Laird's Intraday Silver Sentiment/Silver 7 Index closed up 1.22 percent! Click to enlarge if necessary.

Despite the carnage in the precious metals, or maybe because of it, there were some very serious buyers out and about yesterday.
The CME Daily Delivery Report showed, for the third day in a row, that zero gold and zero silver contracts were posted for delivery within the COMEX-approved depositories on Tuesday. I thought that two days in a row with zero gold and silver deliveries was highly unusual…but three days? I'm lost for words…especially gold deliveries. The link to yesterday's Issuers and Stoppers Report is here.
The CME Preliminary Report for the Monday trading session showed that gold open interest in October fell by 26 contracts, leaving 2,122 still around. Friday's Daily Delivery Report showed that zero gold contracts were posted for delivery today, so that means that 26 more gold contracts just vanished from the October delivery month. Silver o.i. in October rose by 1 contract, leaving 5 still open. Friday's Daily Delivery Report showed that zero gold contracts were posted for delivery today.
There were no reported changes in GLD yesterday, but an authorized participant took 563,821 troy ounces of silver out of SLV.
The folks over at Switzerland's Zürcher Kantonalbank updated their website with the goings-on inside their gold and silver ETFs as of the close of business on Friday, October 5, 2018. For the second week in a row, there were declines in both. Their gold ETF dropped by 15,878 troy ounces — and their silver ETF fell by 48,966 troy ounces.
There was no sales report from the U.S. Mint on Monday.
There was no in/out movement in gold over at the COMEX-approved depositories on the U.S. east coast on Friday.
It was a very busy day in silver, as 1,723,615 troy ounces were received — and 1,551,403 troy ounces were shipped out the door for parts unknown. In the 'in' category, there was a truck load into both Brink's, Inc. and HSBC USA…608,430 troy ounces — and 599,973 troy ounces respectively. And a smaller truck load ended up at JPMorgan's vault…515,212 troy ounces. In the 'out' category, there was one truck load each out of CNT and Canada's Scotiabank…602,904 troy ounces — and 595,402 troy ounces respectively. There was also 245,665 troy ounces that departed Brink's, Inc….plus another 107,431 left HSBC USA. The link to all this activity is here.
There was a bit of activity for the last day of China's 'Golden Week' over at the COMEX-approved gold kilobar depositories in Hong Kong on their Friday. They received 443, but shipped out only 130 of them. This activity was at Brink's, Inc. — and the link to that, in troy ounces, is here.
Here are the usual two charts that Nick sends around on the weekend. They show the weekly transparent gold and silver holdings in all known, depositories, mutual funds and ETFs as of the close of trading on Friday, October 5. The worlds' gold ETF shed 742,000 troy ounces — and in silver that number was 3,054,000 troy ounces. The 'click to enlarge' feature helps with both charts.
Donald Trump promised to "make America great again," but he might make America Great Britain. To re-industrialize the U.S. economy, President Trump must avoid the mistake that de-industrialized Britain: Namely, he must end the dollar's role as the world's chief reserve currency.
A century ago when Britain began to lose its place as the world's leading power, it was suffering economic maladies today's Americans will find familiar: declining exports, large government deficits, and a huge amount of foreign debt. The British pound's role as the world's chief reserve currency was a major driver of this economic decline.
John Maynard Keynes promoted the British pound's use as the world's reserve currency, writing in 1913 that replacing gold with foreign-exchange reserves was a step toward "the ideal currency of the future." But it didn't take long for the markets to prove that currency reserves are not a foolproof form of savings. The monetary system Keynes recommended was established throughout Europe after a 1922 conference in Genoa, but it collapsed in 1931 at the onset of the Depression.
French economist Jacques Rueff described the fatal weakness of foreign-exchange reserves in a 1932 lecture. He explained that when a monetary authority accepts dollar or sterling claims for its official reserves rather than gold, purchasing power "has simply been duplicated," so that, for example, "the American market is in a position to buy in Europe, and in the United States, at the same time." In other words, when a foreign nation accepts repayment in U.S. dollars it increases its money supply without diminishing the U.S. money supply, allowing both countries' central banks to lend in dollars.
This credit "duplication" is not only inflationary in the reserve-currency country and any country whose currency is tied to the reserve currency; it also necessarily causes the average price of goods to rise faster in the reserve-currency country than among its trading partners. This is why Britain's and America's manufacturing industries lost their competitiveness as exporters, resulting in deindustrialization.
This so-called Triffin Dilemma, though first described by Rueff, was named around 1960 for the Belgian-American economist Robert Triffin, who described the post-World War II unraveling of the Bretton Woods gold-exchange system. Under the gold standard, the worldwide increase in monetary gold equaled the world's net exports. The problem of the Triffin Dilemma is that every additional dollar of foreign-exchange "reserves" must be matched by an equal deficit in the reserve-currency country's net exports—that is, by net imports.

The USMCA also requires Mexico to pass legislation recognizing the "right of collective bargaining." In other words, this so-called free trade agreement forces Mexico to import U.S.-style compulsory unionism. If the Mexican legislature does not comply, the US and Canada will impose tariffs on Mexican goods.

This brief 4-chart Zero Hedge item, which is worth a few seconds of your time, appeared on their website at 12:25 p.m. EDT on Monday afternoon — and another link to it is here.
Over the weekend, we laid out the latest analysis by BofA's Barnaby Martin who showed that whereas U.S. junk bonds remained at near record tight spreads despite mounting volatility across most other asset classes, the European junk bond bubble appears to have finally burst.
Specifically, and in stark contrast to shrinking U.S. spreads, European high-yield spreads have blown out by 70bp, with total returns just +13bp, a far cry from the average annual returns of +11% observed over the last decade. Putting this unexpected reversal in context, at the start of the year Euro HY spreads were 80bp tighter than U.S. spreads. Now they are 35bp wider, in large part due to the deterioration in the Italian backdrop, concerns about the end of the ECB's QE and the recent deterioration in the European economy.
While we noted several key conclusions one could draw from this inflection point, one notable observation is that it was just a matter of time before the HY weakness spread higher in quality, to Tier 1 bank debt, the corporate investment grade sector and elsewhere.
Today, as validation that contagion from Europe's junk bonds may be spreading, Bloomberg reported that Europe's primary bond market suffered the latest blow when Dutch lender Van Lanschot Kempen became the fifth issuer to pull a euro-note sale in little more than a week.
Last week, Volksbank Wien also delayed an AT1 sale – one of two deals postponed the same day – as concerns about Italy's budget, Brexit and a recent spike in U.S. Treasuries yields have started to erode investor appetite for higher-yielding debt. Still, demand for investment-grade euro notes has been less affected, with Dutch gas distributor Nederlandse Gasunie NV getting orders for almost six times its €300 million deal size on Monday.

India will defy U.S. sanctions and continue importing oil from Iran after a November 4 deadline, easing concerns over the country's energy security but setting up a possible showdown with Washington.
Petroleum Minister Dharmendra Pradhan said two state-owned oil refiners, Indian Oil Corporation and Mangalore Refinery and Petrochemicals, had signed contracts to import 1.25 million tonnes of Iranian oil next month, Mint newspaper reported.
Reuters said that Indian Oil would buy six million barrels of oil and Mangalore Refinery and Petrochemicals three million barrels.
The Trump administration reimposed an initial tranche of economic sanctions on Iran in August, and will implement a second tranche in November. Last applied from 2012 to 2015, the sanctions are in retaliation for Iran's supposed nuclear proliferation program.
Secretary of State Mike Pompeo said on a visit to India in September that some waivers from the sanctions might be granted to countries buying Iranian oil, but only if they agreed to cut their imports to zero. Pradhan admitted Monday he was not sure India would get a waiver.

The long-running speculation whether Pakistan will follow in Argentina's footsteps and demand an IMF bailout was answered this morning.
As a reminder, following a July 12 report from the Financial Times that senior Pakistani finance officials were drawing up options for Pakistan's new prime minister Imran Khan to seek an IMF bailout of up to $12 billion, U.S. Secretary of State Mike Pompeo warned against providing an International Monetary Fund bailout for Pakistan's new government that includes funding to pay off Chinese lenders.
In an interview on CNBC on July 30, Pompeo said the United States looked forward to engagement with the government of Pakistan's expected new prime minister, Imran Khan, but said there is "no rationale" for a bailout that pays off Chinese loans to Pakistan.

President Trump may have been too quick to praise North Korea following Secretary of State Mike Pompeo's visit with Kim Jong Un over the weekend. Because in what will be remembered as a brutal snub, Chinese President Xi Jinping refused to meet with Pompeo during his visit to Beijing on Monday, while China's foreign minister said in no uncertain terms that the U.S. shouldn't expect China's help with denuclearizing North Korea.
In what The New York Times and WSJ described as a "tempestuous", "public confrontation" where "the customary veneer of diplomatic niceties during public remarks" was stripped away, Pompeo and Chinese Foreign Minister Wang Yi traded barbs in public during a press conference as the two men blamed one another for the near-confrontation between U.S. and Chinese naval ships in the South China Sea last month, while China criticized the U.S. for perceived incursions on Chinese territorial sovereignty and the U.S.'s willingness to sell arms to Taiwan (while providing support in other ways). Wang also blamed the U.S. for "ceaselessly elevating" trade tensions in a way that "cast a shadow" over their relationship.
This is not very reassuring. Pompeo got what he richly deserved, but when you see diplomatic cracks like this one show up in public between the biggest dogs in a fight, one should be very concerned.

The Chinese central bank announced that it would reduce the reserve requirement ratio by one percentage point for the fourth time this year, in hopes of freeing up a total incremental fund of 750 billion yuan (US$50.989 billion), The Paper reported.
From October 15 onward, The People's Bank of China will reduce the RRR for large commercial banks, joint-stock commercial banks, city commercial banks, rural commercial banks and foreign banks.
On the same day, the above-mentioned banks will use the funds released by the RRR cut to repay the Medium-term Loan Facilities of the central bank where they borrowed.
The total funds released by RRR cut is slightly more than the amount banks needed to repay their MLF.
The central bank uses monetary tools, such as the MLF and the standing lending facility, to manage short- and medium-term liquidity in the banking system.
Another desperation move to inject liquidity into a banking system that is always on the verge of total collapse. The above five paragraphs are all there is to this story that was posted on the Asia Times website at 5:37 a.m. Hong Kong Time on their Monday morning, which was 5:37 a.m. on Sunday afternoon in New York — EDT plus 12 hours.

The July 2017 idling of the Escobal silver mine in southeastern Guatemala displaced more than 850 workers and endangered the livelihoods of thousands more whose jobs are indirectly supported by the project. The loss of family income has harmed communities in the municipality of San Rafael Las Flores and in some cases sent the unemployed north to look for work in the United States.
Nature can be cruel in underdeveloped countries. Yet it wasn't fire, flood, mudslide or volcano that served this economic gut punch. This is a man-made travesty, courtesy of Guatemala's Constitutional Court. It is a saga worth recounting because it goes to the heart of the country's intransigent poverty.
The mine is owned by Minera San Rafael, or MSR, a Guatemalan subsidiary of Nevada-based Tahoe Resources. Tahoe spokesman Edie Hofmeister told me that since 2010 MSR has invested $1.7 billion in the "development and operation" of the mine. "This includes more than $136 million paid to the Guatemalan government in taxes, royalties and voluntary payments" as well as "$66 million in salaries" and "$600 million spent on local suppliers," Ms. Hofmeister said last week.
Tahoe put more than $10 million into "social investment and economic development programs," including "community education, health and nutrition, infrastructure, capacity development, entrepreneurship and local governance initiatives," Ms. Hofmeister said. One notable project was a vocational training center into which it invested more than $1 million.
Then came a legal complaint filed against the government's Ministry of Energy and Mines at the Supreme Court by the Center for Legal, Environmental and Social Action, an anti-mining nongovernmental organization known in Guatemala by its Spanish acronym Calas.

South African gold miners have literally dug themselves into a hole, with the world's deepest mines threatening the safety of workers and the companies' ability to make money.
Powered for decades by the cheap labor of apartheid, the country's deepest gold mines plunge almost 12,000 feet below the earth's surface — and have provided nearly half the gold bullion and jewelry ever produced.
But as miners have dug ever deeper to retrieve what remains of the world's largest gold deposits, they have faced an economic and moral conundrum: Gold at these depths is costlier and more dangerous to mine.
South Africa's three largest gold miners by market capitalization reported collective losses of about $543 million last year, as global gold prices remain some 40 percent below their 2011 highs. Costs of mining an ounce of gold in South Africa are high compared with the global average. And the human toll is mounting too.
The rest of this Wall Street Journal story is hidden behind their subscription wall — and the above five paragraphs are all that was posted in the clear in this GATA dispatch. Chris Powell correctly points out that…"but none of them questioned gold price suppression by governments and central banks." The actual headline to this story reads "South African Gold-Mining Companies Pay High Price to Keep Digging" — and the link to the story on the WSJ website is here.
It was a decent enough day on Saturday, although overcast, to make a quick dash out to the pond. I wasn't overly optimistic about finding anything, as the fall migration for anything other than ducks and geese is pretty far advanced. But I did get lucky. I discovered this lesser yellowlegs scouring the shoreline for whatever it could find, before resuming its journey south. I took 33 photos — and kept only five, as the weeds and grass kept getting in the way. Here are the first three — and it's pretty easy to see how it came by its name. Click to enlarge.
This third shot, obviously taken from the rear, shows its wings spread as it caught its balance. I only got this one picture, as I did not have the camera set on the high-speed frame rate, just single shot. I won't make that mistake again. Click to enlarge.
It was another clear case of a dollar index 'rally' being used as cover to bash the precious metals on Monday. This was particularly true at 9 a.m. China Standard Time on their Monday morning, which was 9 p.m. Sunday night in New York — and then again at precisely 1:00 p.m. BST/8:00 a.m. EDT, as the dollar index wasn't doing much of anything at either time, but all four precious metals moved sharply lower starting at those exact moments.
It's obvious to me, at least. But if you read the usual drivel from the so-called precious metal "analysts" out there, you'd never know that. I'll make the assumption that you're over twenty-one years old, so you can make up your own mind.
Here are the 1-year charts for the Big 6 commodities — and as you already know, JPMorgan pushed silver and gold a safe distance below their respective 50-day moving averages yesterday. On the other hand, it could just as easily have been Ted Butler's raptors…the 31-odd small Commercial traders other than the Big 8…ringing the cash register at the expense of the Managed Money traders once again. Whatever the cause, it was not accidental. The 'click to enlarge' feature helps with all six charts today.
And as I type this paragraph, the London open is less than ten minutes away — and I note that the gold price traded sideways for an hour once trading began at 6 p.m. EDT in New York on Monday evening. It rallied a couple of bucks over the next hour — and then traded more or less sideways until 2 p.m. CST on their Tuesday afternoon. It began to crawl lower at that point — and is up $1.80 the ounce. Silver was up 4 cents by noon CST — and is still up 4 cents. Platinum was up 7 bucks by shortly after 1 p.m. CST, but that gain wasn't allowed to last…as it's only up 3 dollars at the moment. The palladium price crawled sideways until around 1:30 p.m. CST — and then it shot higher from there — and was up 5 dollars by minutes before 2 p.m. But at 2 p.m. CST it was sold down hard — and is now down 4 dollars the ounce.
Net HFT gold volume is coming up on 48,000 contracts — and there's only 212 contracts worth of roll-over/switch volume in that precious metal. Net HFT silver volume is around 12,800 contracts — and there's only 228 contracts worth of roll-over/switch volume on top of that.
I was happy to see all that buying in the precious metal shares yesterday. Not all of them were involved, as the silver juniors didn't do particularly well, but some of the 'Big 7' certainly did. It will be of interest to see if that buying continues during the Tuesday trading session in New York.
And as I post today's column on the website at 4:03 a.m. EDT, I see that the gold price continues to edge quietly lower — and is up 70 cents the ounce at the moment. The silver price hasn't done much — and is up 4 cents. Platinum is up 2 bucks. The palladium price has recovered a bit since the Zurich open — and is down only a dollar currently.
Gross gold volume is coming up on 59,000 contracts — and net of what little roll-over/switch volume there is, net HFT silver volume is 58,500 contracts. Net HFT silver volume is around 16,300 contracts — and roll-over/switch volume in this precious metal is still only 456 contracts.
The dollar index dipped a few basis points during the thirty minutes leading up to the London open, but has resumed its rather unsteady 'rally' as of exactly 8:00 a.m. British Summer Time. It's now up 14 basis points.
Today, at the close of COMEX trading, is the cut-off for this Friday's Commitment of Traders Report — and I'll have something to say about what the numbers might show in my Wednesday missive.
That's all for another day — and I'll see you here tomorrow.

The bill, put forward by Katter Australia Party's Shane Knuth, looked at introducing classification zones. The bill was voted down 71 to 6 votes, however many MPs spoke in support of introducing laws to protecting children from seeing sexualised images on billboard advertising.

Our stem cell treatments leverage the natural healing power of stem cells and deliver them in high concentrations to damaged cartilage, ligaments, tendons or tissues in the body. Stem cells reduce inflammation and speed up the body's healing process, giving it the potential to heal itself naturally. Our team utilizes image-guided injections via ultrasounds or fluoroscopy, so the stem cell treatment is administered in as precise a location as possible.
Lipogems is our leading innovative stem cell therapy option that employs a precisely engineered device to create an injectable tissue made from your own adipose tissue reserves that provides remarkable cushioning and structural support benefits. The FDA rigorously reviewed the Lipogems System and has authorized the sale and clinical use of the product in the U.S. since 2014.
We also employ alternative procedures to harvest stem cells from the patient's own bone marrow or other ethical sources including amniotic fluid from consenting mothers delivering by C-Section (allograft).
Our stem cell therapies are outpatient procedures, and patients return home the same day.
Find out if stem cell injections are right for you. Answer a short questionnaire and a member of our team will be in touch with you.

I have been absent from my blog again and I also find once again I am weeks behind with reading all of your blogs.
Sadly my mother passed away on Friday night after a fairly short illness and I have been away from my home and computer for most of the last two or three weeks. Add to that my husband's father had a severe stroke on Sunday night and we are working through the implications of this and supporting his mother who also lives out of town.
I have to say it has not been a great year for us.
To my Christmas Swap partners I will be back home this weekend and I will get your swap gifts finished and posted. I really apologise that your gifts are likely to arrive a little late for Christmas but these were unexpected circumstances.
My Mum was also a miniaturist back in the 1990s and had some lovely miniatures tucked away which I have inherited. I look forward to showing you some of these in future posts.
I am so sorry to hear of your loss, Sharee. My thoughts are with you in this difficult time. I hope your Father-in-law recovers quickly. And here's hoping for a better New Year, filled with love and time for minis.
Lo siento. Debe ser muy dura la muerte de una madre.
I am so sorry to hear about your mum, Sharee. My thoughts and best wishes are with you and your family.
I'm so sorry to hear of your family troubles Sharee, sending wishes and hopes that things even out for you. Also wishing you a Happy Christmas with special familt time.
So sorry about your mother. I wish you and your family to know no more sorrow.
Let us pray for better times and for your father in law's full recovery.
I am so sorry, Sharee. You are in my thoughts and I pray for your father in laws recovery.
I'm so sorry for your loss Sharee. My condolences.
Don't worry for the swaps. I hope that my gift for you arrives soon.
I am so sorry to hear about your mum, Sharee. My thoughts and best wishes are with you and your family. I'll pray for your father in laws recovery.
Hi Sharee! I am sending my sincere condolences to you and your family as you work through this time of mourning. I certainly agree that this past year has been a difficult one for a great number of people that I know, but for you to have it end with the loss of your mum, and a devastating illness for your father in law, is such a heart-breaking way to say good-bye to the year.
Know that I am thinking of you and praying for you for healing through all the hurt and the pain.
Oh Sharee, I am so sorry for you and your family honey. Please share in the love and support of your family and think on the good memories in life.

· Stephen Hawking moves in the wheel chair as he is a patient of a motor neuron disease related to Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) . He lost the vitality of his body and speaks only through a computer voice. He is considered as a living legend in the field of science.
Q. 4 Answer the following questions.
1. Did the prospect of meeting Stephen Hawking make the writer nervous?
Ans- Indeed, the writer was nervous and tensed. He was about to meet the world famous scientist Stephen Hawking. This feeling will make any human nervous. Stephen Hawking, the great astrophysicist of the world is not an ordinary person to meet. Besides, the writer was nervous because Stephen Hawking achieved the great height in spite of the paralyzed body which was a matter of awe and admiration.
ii) Did he at the same time feel very excited? If so, why?
Ans- Yes, undoubtedly the prospect of meeting Stephen Hawking made Firdaus Kanga excited. The writer was about to meet someone who is world famous in spite of the fact that he is confined in the wheel chair because of a motor neuron disease. As he was also confined in wheelchair, Firdaus Kanga was excited to behold Stephen Hawking who is a living inspiration and encouragement as he did not submit to his physical deficiencies.
Q.2. Guess the first questions put to the scientist by the writer.
Ans.- As we come across the text, it can be assumed that the writer might have asked Stephen Hawking at first if he had been brave to reach where he had.
Q. 3 Stephen Hawking said, "I 'have had no choice". Does the writer think there was a choice? What was it?
Ans.- The writer perhaps considered the choice which common people go for. Common people with this kind of physical disabilities go for leading a life of hopelessness, dejection and devoid of any positive activity. Likewise he could stepped on the path of the common people, but he thought otherwise and established himself with a great difference.
Q.4 "I could feel his anguish". What could be the anguish?
Ans.- This is the anguish of Stephen Hawking. He has a disintegrating physic which does not allow him to function smoothly. His mind is filled with buoyant thoughts, but his physic is like a dead corpse which does not allow him to communicate with others naturally.
To express his thoughts, he needs to depend on the computer. Communicating through computer often turns out to be a futile effort. Whenever he fails to expand his thoughts through the machine, he feels anguish.
Q.5 What endeared the scientist to the writer so that he said he was looking at one of the most beautiful men in the world?
Ans. - Both of them shared their views about different aspects of being disabled and churned inspiration. Mesmerized at Stephen Hawking's greatness, Findaus Kanga questioned him if he got annoyed if anyone disturbed him. At this Stephen Hawking smiled and immediately the writer witnessed the most beautiful person of the world. This beauty is not the physical beauty. This is the beauty of that master who showed humanity true intelligence, a reflection of greatness and satisfaction of high attainments. This is the beauty of the mental strength which does not know surrender, which does not learn to confine in the physical limitations.
Q.6 Read aloud t he description of the beautiful' man. Which is the most beautiful sentence in the description?
Ans.- According to me the most beautiful description lies in the following sentence –
"You look at his eyes which can speak, still and they are saying something huge and urgent – it is hard to tell what."
Q- 1) i) If 'the lantern' is the man, what would its 'walls' be?
Ans. - If the lantern is the man, then walls should be the body of the man.
ii) What is housed within the thin walls?
Ans. Within the thin walls there is the incandescence or inner glow of man.
iii) What general conclusion does the writer draw from this comparison?
Ans. Body is not important for a person's success in life. Body is just an accessory and is irrelevant to one's internal spirit. It is like a case of shadows which has to do nothing to what we mean as success. Soul is what matters. If you are the strongest and bear indomitable spirit success is yours. No physical trouble can stop you.
Q.8 What is the scientist's message to the disabled?
Ans. Unique and significant was the thought of Stephen Hawking when he talked about disabled. According to him a disabled should concentrate on their strength. He said that the disabled should concentrate on what they are good at.
Q.9 Why does the written refer to the guitar incident? Which idea does it support?
Ans.- While discussing about disabled, Firdaus Kanga agreed to Stephen Hawking's opinion. He gave his own example to justify the statement. Once he tried to have mastery over Spanish guitar which was larger than him. Out of resentment one day he unstringed it and was very happy. Through this he wants show his support to the opinion of Stephen Hawking i.e. the disabled should concentrate on what they are good at.
Q.10. The writer expresses his great gratitude to Stephen Hawking. What is the gratitude for?
Ans. The writer here shows his highest obeisance to Stephen Hawking for Stephen Hawking had been a constant source of inspiration for him. He considered him as an embodiment whom he believed and moved towards. He finds his bravest self in Stephen Hawking. If he had been brave, like Stephen Hawking, he would have achieved great success.
He expressed his greatest gratitude for he could realize that in this disabled state even he realized what great achievement he could attain.

THE FRONT BOTTOMS
Trinity Centre, Bristol
Trinity Centre, Trinity Road, Bristol, Avon BS2 0NW
Doors open at 7pm
Confessional, demanding, reflective, and direct from Brian Sella's ribcage straight into yours, New Jersey's Front Bottoms have spent the past seven years becoming one of the most vital names in punk rock.
Releasing four studio albums and a string of strident EPs, they announce new record Back On Top due for release this autumn, their first on the Fuelled By Ramen label. First track HELP is an irresistible offering showcasing their innate talent for telling stories with a naive poetic charm.
Well known for the kind of live sets that whip a crowd with passion and ferocious intent, this is a show you need to be at whether you're an old fan or a new listener.
Presented by DHP Family.


Wake to a day full of possibilities, every day!
Let me and my horses help you discover your best life and the "you" you want to be.
Horses are uniquely gifted at showing you exactly what you need in order to move forward towards your best life. They help you find that "aha" moment and see clearly what are your roadblocks and barriers – real and perceived.
They aren't magicians, but simply intuitive animals that have lived thousands of years in a hierarchical herd, dependent on their awareness, relationships and nonverbal communication for their very survival – much the same as people.
Over the years, humans have lost much of that awareness, mindfulness, intuition and our own inner wisdom – the very things that guide us towards happiness and success. If you are looking to make some positive changes in your life, come for some equine coaching sessions and see how quickly you can learn how to be present in the moment, pay attention to your inner wisdom and come up with the answers to create lasting transformation.
Sessions are upon appointment and are on a year round basis. Horse experience is not required for participation in coaching sessions. I'm there to guide you and facilitate the process of discovery and learning.
Adventure-based Equine Guided Coaching and Teambuilding Extravaganzas: ½ day, full day and multi day equine guided learning, coaching and teambuilding sessions.
Taking time away from daily life to be out in nature with the horses and one another is a wonderful way to find balance, discover new insights about yourselves and take in the beauty of Southwest Colorado. Come play with and learn from the horses, and spend some quality time getting inspired and reconnected with yourself, one another and nature.
Whether you want to have an adventure-based horse trip in the mountains or desert of the Four Corners, a weekend of mindfulness-based activities at the beautiful ranch in Durango or a combination of the two, I can work with you to design an experience perfectly tailored to you and your group.
½ and full day equine facilitated learning, teambuilding activities and coaching experiences at Morningstar Ranch in Durango.
One full day of programming including 4 hours of equine guided coaching and teambuilding activities at Morningstar Ranch and a 2-hour trail ride at Rapp Corral.
2 days of horse experiences including one full day and one half day of equine guided coaching and teambuilding activities at Morningstar Ranch and a 2-hour trail ride at Rapp Corral.
2 full days of equine guided coaching with a deep dive into self-discovery.
A 3 day deep dive into equine guided coaching and teambuilding activities. This is a custom planned horse experience tailored specifically for your family, business or group. Indulge in the comfort, serenity and beauty of the Morningstar Ranch while your group enjoys a program specifically developed for you. Food, lodging and horse activities will be provided for the duration of your time with us. Maximum of 8 participants.
Backcountry riding, camping out, adventure and exploration while actively processing group dynamics and personal roles. Many trips available in the mountains and deserts of the Four Corners. We will work with you to develop the right trip for your group. Food, kitchen gear and horse experiences will be provided for you for the duration of the trip. If you need personal gear such as tents, sleeping bags and pads, we can provide those at an additional cost.

JAZZING IT UP: Jeff Goldblum's first album has drawn good reviews.
Here's your chance to win Jeff Goldblum's new jazz album.

The Capitol Studios Sessions is a highly anticipated album from jazz pianist Goldblum, who has been playing the piano since he was a child.
When he's not filming, the accomplished actor hosts a weekly jazz variety show at Los Angeles' Rockwell Table and Stage.
The album is described as living in that magical area where artists and audiences meet – in how Goldblum speaks to his fans, how he accompanies guest singers and soloists.

The Food and Drug Administration's Center for Tobacco Products (CTP) oversees the implementation of the Family Smoking Prevention and Tobacco Control Act, H.R. 1256. Among its many provisions, section 907(a) of the Tobacco Control Act banned the use of characterizing flavors, specifically excluding only tobacco and menthol flavors from the ban. According to section 907(e)(2), "[n]ot later than 1 year after its establishment, the Tobacco Product Scientific Advisory Committee shall submit to the Secretary the report and recommendations required pursuant to [menthol]," which, according to section 907(e)(1), is "the issue of the impact of the use of menthol in cigarettes on the public health, including such use among children, African-Americans, Hispanics, and other racial and ethnic minorities." The inaugural meeting of the Food and Drug Administration's Tobacco Products Scientific Advisory Committee (TPSAC) was held March 30–31, 2010 in Washington, DC. In preparation for this meeting, CTP reviewed peer-reviewed literature on menthol and tobacco as indentified by the National Cancer Institute's "Bibliography of literature on menthol and tobacco", and seven scientific presentations were made, including the use of menthol cigarettes (epidemiology), smoking topography and sensations associated with menthol cigarettes, marketing of menthol cigarettes, menthol cigarettes and initiation of smoking behavior, menthol cigarettes and nicotine dependence, menthol cigarettes and cessation of tobacco use, and the health effects of menthol cigarettes as compared to non-menthol cigarettes.
Following this initial presentation, additional information was collected through FDA investigation, as well as recommendations from the public, research community and tobacco industry, resulting in comprehensive reviews. Thus, this supplement brings together the extant peer-reviewed information on these seven topics.
DISCLAIMER: These articles reflect the views of the authors and should not be construed to represent FDA's views or policy.


Manifesting Destiny got a fair review in February's InD'Tale.
Brynnde was made a finalist in Books & Benches' cover art contest.
Got a lot done (just not any writing).
I'm feeling pretty overwhelmed these days, actually. There is a lot going on in my life and with my family, and then on top of that is everything going on politically—it makes for a lot of stress. I know the answer is not to bury my head in the sand; that's what they're hoping we'll do, it's why they throw things from every side so we don't know which way to look. They want to scatter our energies and exhaust us. We're tired, all right, but more than that, we're angry, and we outnumber them by a lot.
More auditions for my audiobook. I'm just so excited about this project!
Minerva (one of the cats) came to stare at me this morning. You'd have to know Min to know how amazing that is. We rescued her last October, and she doesn't like or trust me because I've had to chase her and stuff her into a carrier a couple times. So the fact she made herself visible to me at all is astounding. Most of the time she hides if she knows I'm around.
My book went on pre-order! Yay!
People are actually pre-ordering my book! Yay!
Got some more work done on my WIP.
Received a really great audition for my audiobook project. So excited!
Got rid of old furniture. Felt really good to literally kick it to the curb.
Started a new project—a tarot book I'm writing for a friend who wants to learn. I'm going card by card. Maybe I'll publish the manuscript later.
Starting getting auditions for the audiobook I'm hoping to release. I'm so excited! I've wanted to do this for a long time. Squee!
Another fun evening with my writing group.
Fatted Calf beef jerky and Christopher Elbow chocolates.
1. Nice phone chat with a friend.
. . . That's about it, really. It's tough to find good things these days. Yesterday was cold and I exhausted myself with running around getting stuff done, but didn't manage to get any actual work done. I guess I can put "productive" as a good thing, even if I wasn't productive in the way I wanted to be.
No rain, so I got a nice walk in.
Car stuff taken care of. Didn't love sitting in the waiting room for 2.5 hours, but at least I had my computer.
Good news from the doctor.
I beat the hail storm home.
The formatting for my new book looks fantastic.
Facebook chat with a dear friend.
Relatively quiet day spent mostly at home.
My youngest (the one with the cast) has figured out how to get himself to and from the bathroom and up and down the stairs. On one hand, this is a great relief. On the other, my arms were looking really good from all the lifting. Also, I do get a bit nervous about him on the stairs so still need to spot him.
New white noise machine in my office works great.
Got my retainers. I'm so glad they're the clear kind (sort of like my Invisalign) rather than the kind I had in 7th grade. I don't mind being a nerd but I don't need to advertise quite so obviously.
A nice get together with friends in which I made new friends. Yay for being social!
My oldest came back from a week at camp. He was wet, tired, and hungry and was losing his voice but seemed to have a great time.
Amethyst fingernails and sapphire toenails.
Youngest has now been fitted with crutches and can begin practicing using them in small, supervised outings.
Was able to sleep a little later than usual.
A quiet day without any errands or appointments.
Doctor says my son's leg is healing nicely. He can switch the long cast for a shorter one in two weeks and then begin using crutches.
Special lunch with my little guy after the doctor visit.
Yummy dinner made possible by the fact our oldest is away at camp and we're able to cook things he won't eat.
It was kind of a down day, actually. Nothing bad, but nothing of note either. I guess I can count traffic not being too terrible as a good thing? And we had a nice dinner of deli plates that we all really enjoyed. It was somehow both light and filling.
A walk with my daughter.
Have managed to lose 5 lbs.
Beautiful day for my son's baseball tryouts.
Nice lunch out, and kind strangers gave up their table for us.
Orthodontist removed the attachments from my teeth. Is weird to see the flat surface of my teeth again after so long, but nice!
Treated myself to a special lunch as celebration for having my teeth back.
Getting back to my walks and routine.
Cleaning out some of my office and closet. I don't usually enjoy doing that, but every now and then it feels really good.
Got a good walk in ahead of the rain.
Trip for groceries was short and direct. Over and done.
It was actually a really busy day. I had to split my normal volunteer time at the school library with taking the cat to the vet and then had to go pick him up again later.
The kids had good days at school.
Iced chai with white mocha.
Everyone back to work and school.
Getting a walk in before the rain.
Really nice breakfast out with people whose company I mostly enjoy.
Hot bubble bath on a rainy day.
Golden Globes were . . . mildly entertaining?
Yay for not leaving the house? Seriously, I was totally lazy.
Getting back to a writing project I'd put aside.
Signing up to have a table at the Bay Area Book Festival in June.
Moana. What a great movie!
Sent ARCs to my advance readers. Yay!
Good writing group and they mostly liked the piece I brought to share.
*This* close to done with the manuscript I'm working on.
Very nearly done with my orthodontia. They'll take the attachments off my teeth next week and I'll get my retainers the week after that. Yes, it's like being a pre-teen again!
Home-baked cookies and joke time around the dinner table.
Also, Tiny House Hunters showed up on my DVR again.
A nice, quiet New Year's Eve.
My son did well in his first fencing tournament.
. . . It has been a relatively quiet couple of days. I've been feeling a little sad, though I'm not sure why. I continue rewrites on my current novel and think I may nearly be done. I'll be happy again once I'm able to send it to advance readers/reviewers.
I wish you all Many Good Things for 2017.


With kickoff just under three hours away, the players know the starting lineup and their responsibilities for the night as the Galaxy look to close out 2008 with a victory over the Oceania All-Stars.
But before we get to the lineups, just a reminder that the game starts at 10:30 p.m. (PT) on Fox Soccer Channel and 11 p.m. on Fox Soccer en Espanol. There are no penalties at the end if the games ends in a draw and each team will be given unlimited substitutions, though, once a player is out of the game he cannot re-enter.
Lastly, you may have noticed a lack of videos and photos over the last couple of days and we can say that we're as disappointed as you likely all are. However, do not fret as we will have a wealth of audio, video and photo options for you once we're back in the States. The "high-speed" Internet is not quite as pacy as the name would lead us to believe. As a result, the typically short process of upload all of this to the site is significantly more difficult and time consuming, so our apologies and you'll have plenty to look forward to upon our return.
Now on to the lineup.
Subs: Saunders, Randolph, Roberts, Griffin, Munoz, Allen, Jordan, Bowen.
I very much liked the starting line-up that Bruce & Dave fielded. For one, the starting players had loads of confidence and energy to go after opposing players and their posession (be it being very short & limited). But, most of all - the ball movement up & down, plus side-to-side was soemthing I have not seen in the LA Galaxy since Ruud left. I think Bruce & Dave are finally getting the time & emphases they must have with the players. And, the starting 11 have plenty of playing experience, also. The first half was very good to see. Action with purpose and finish!!!

You are here: Home / St. Joseph County / Colon / Colon tripped up at Bellevue
Colon tripped up at Bellevue
September 14, 2013 By Wes Morgan
Bellevue stomped on the gas and never let up in a 54-16 home victory over Colon Friday night. Beginning with a safety early in the first quarter, the Broncos (2-1) made the most of their 315 yards to hand the Magi (2-1) their first loss of the year.
Colon rushed for 95 yards and threw for 34 in the effort. See full box score here.
"It was a rough one for us tonight, but you know what, I'm going to give Bellevue all the respect they deserve," Colon coach Darrin VandenBerg said. "They have a real nice senior class. You can tell they've been working in the offseason in the weight room and summer conditioning workouts and those sorts of things. Bellevue deserves the win hands down. I just hope some of the younger guys that were there on the sidelines and were able to see it will let that sink in a little bit and build a fire inside their guts for summer offseason workouts to make us better."
Bellevue was better in every statistical category, but the gap wasn't as wide as the final score might indicate. Colon struggled on third down, converting just once on seven tries. The Magi were 2-for-2 in the red zone, but the Broncos simply made bigger plays. Tyler Lane rushed for 154 yards and three touchdowns for Bellevue, including a 57-yard run. Four other players ripped off ground gains of at least 11 yards.
Colon junior quarterback Ryan Napier ran 12 times for 56 yards and a TD and completed 4 of 12 passes, but they totaled just 16 yards with an interception thrown in the mix. Daniel Alva completed one pass for the Magi for 18 yards. Colon gave up 23 yards on a pair of sacks and lost two fumbles.
"We made our fair share of mistakes, no doubt about that," VandenBerg said. "Often times we were right there to make a play on defense. But we'd miss a tackle here, miss a tackle there and they'd bust a long play. We had some bad breaks, but I was proud of the kids. They stuck together as a team. It's a nice group of kids we have and we learned a lot tonight."

After updating the firmware to r22 I can no longer connect to WEP128. I have been unable to figure out how the MAG needs to be configured to allow access. I have contacted Infomir but they have not responded and their website is lacking in specific documentation. I am sure it is a step I have missed. Can someone share what they did to make this work?
are you saying radiosity use to work but after the update it stopped working?
When I drop encryption on my wireless router, Radiosity works fine, in fact much better than that F'ing Roku. The problem is with my understanding on how to configure the MAG254w1 for WEP128 encryption. MAG worked with WEP128 until I updated the firmware on the MAG box. The menus are different now and I have been unable to figure out the exact configuration on the new menus to make it work with WEP128. I am stuck with WEP128 since a few of my WiFi boxes do not use better encryption. For now, I have added another WiFi router with no encryption so I can watch TV for now but need to resolve the WEP128 at some point. Than you for the quick response.

Environmental ancient DNA – a game changer in paleo sea ice research?
Reading a biology paper five years ago, paleoceanographer Stijn De Schepper got an idea. If sea ice contains DNA from algae, what happens when the ice melts? Could DNA in ocean sediments tell of ancient ice conditions? The first article on this has just been published, with DNA going back 100,000 years. This is Stijn De Schepper's own account.
Written by Stijn De Schepper, Research professor at the Bjerknes Centre and NORCE. First published at Nature Research Microbiology Community.
Reconstructing sea ice change is one of the most challenging topics in paleoceanography. By applying techniques from molecular ecology, we are developing novel tools for documenting past sea ice evolution. This will allow us to better understand what is driving sea ice change in the Arctic.
As our planet has been warming over the past decades, Arctic sea ice has been retreating rapidly. Model projections show that we, and certainly the generation of our kids, will experience an Arctic without summer sea ice. This is already transforming the Arctic region drastically and new Arctic shipping routes have already been used.
Looking into the past
But it is very likely that Arctic sea ice will disappear even more rapidly than projected, because most models underestimate the trends we observe over the past decades. This shows that we do not fully understand sea ice in the climate system.
It is thus essential that we get a better understanding of Arctic sea ice and its role in climate change. This can be achieved by looking into the past, beyond satellite and historical records, where major climate shifts are documented in the geological record. To investigate the past sea ice cover, we rely on proxies or physical evidence of past sea ice stored in sediments. While the currently used sea ice proxies like microfossil assemblages or biomarkers provide crucial insights in sea ice evolution, they still have limitations.
How to use DNA
Here, the idea to exploit DNA stored in marine sediments as a new proxy can significantly advance the field of paleo sea ice research.
The idea to apply molecular ecology for sea ice reconstructions originated from reading a paper on sea ice biology one rare sunny afternoon in Bergen in 2014. The study showed that the DNA signature of sea ice is unique and that the DNA of individual sea ice organisms such as diatoms or dinoflagellates could be detected in sea ice.
Being a paleoceanographer, I remember thinking that if these signatures could also be detected in sediments, there is a huge potential for developing environmental DNA in sediments as a sea ice proxy.
Challenges for the coming years
So, by combining the expertise of paleoceanographers and molecular ecologists, we set up a pilot study. We were lucky to get fresh material from the Ice2Ice cruises in the Greenland Sea in 2015 and 2016. We selected one sediment core to test whether we could use environmental ancient DNA to detect sea ice changes.
We employed metabarcoding and quantitative PCR on marine sediments from a the Greenland Sea and found diverse DNA signatures and paleodiversity shifts back to circa 100,000 years ago. We identified several taxa that were never reported from the fossil record before and detected the sea ice dinoflagellate Polarella glacialis. Together, these are the building blocks for a new sea ice proxy.
Our challenge for the coming years is to take this proof of concept to the next level and test the applicability of ancient DNA for sea ice reconstructions on a wider scale in the polar regions. Our first results show that techniques from molecular ecology can make a possibly game-changing difference in sea ice and paleoclimate research.

Since every year starts you'll have to dispose of your old calendar and get a new one. As we say, out with the actual, together with the new. Calendars are already indispensable to most people since they were first used. They assist in keeping tracks of appointments and special dates. For businesses, they are able to reveal calendars thus to their customers each and every year as part of their marketing strategy. Nevertheless, some businesses are anxiety about the cost of printing a calendar especially if it demands a lot of color.

Q: How to evaluate integrals of complex valued functions of a real variable I'm trying to calculate the integral $\int_{-\infty}^{\infty}e^{-(1-i)x^2} dx$, without invoking some sort of complex integral identify such as erf (ie as elementarily as possible)
I'm thinking to solve this similarly to solving $\int_{-\infty}^{\infty}e^{x^2} dx$, where we can call in a second variable $y$, convert to polar, and take the square root of the result to get $\sqrt \pi$.
My attempt at this is to consider $\int_{-\infty}^{\infty}\int_{-\infty}^{\infty}e^{-(1-i)(x^2+y^2)} dxdy = \int_{0}^{\infty}\int_{0}^{2\pi}e^{(1-i)(-r^2)} d\theta dr$. Normally, as in the case of $e^{-x^2}$, the limit is easy to compute, and we simply get something in terms of area of the unit circle. However, in this case, I'm not sure what to do with the imaginary term.
Am I on the right track? How can I continue?

A: I should not suggest to use polar coordinates.
Consider instead
$$\int_{-\infty}^{+\infty}e^{-ax^2} \,dx=\frac{\sqrt{\pi }}{\sqrt{a}} \quad \text{if} \quad \Re(a) >0$$
$$a=1-i \implies I=\frac{\sqrt{\pi }}{\sqrt{1-i}}=\sqrt{1+i}\,\sqrt{\frac \pi 2}$$

Am I allowed to write to the EPO about a patent application filed by another company concerning a product developed by our company?
How can I submit observations about a published application or granted patent?
May I raise objections against an international patent application?
How do I send observations via the European Patent Register?
Can I file third-party observations by email if the online form is not working?
What is the file size limit for third-party observations?
Why have I not received a confirmation copy of the observations I submitted?
I have been trying to file third-party observations using the web form but I get a "please wait" message that remains on the screen and does not allow me to file my comments. What should I do?
How can I submit a larger number of attachments than the maximum allowed in the third-party observations form?

What should I do if, when I click on the preview tab, I can only see a blank and am not able to submit the form?
Which browsers are supported for filing third-party observations using your web form?
I have Internet Explorer 11 as browser on my computer, but I still have problems with filing third-party observations. What can I do?
I'm trying to submit third-party observations, but I'm unable to upload my documents. What should I do?
Yes. Under Article 115 EPC, any third party may file observations concerning the patentability of an invention claimed in a published European patent application. They must be filed in writing in an EPO official language (English, French or German), and must state the grounds on which they are based. There is no prescribed EPO form for this. The person submitting the observations is not a party to the patent grant proceedings, and is therefore not informed by the EPO about their further outcome.
The observations are communicated without delay to the applicant or proprietor, who may comment on them. If they call into question the patentability of the invention in whole or in part, they must be taken into account in any proceedings pending before a department of the EPO until such proceedings have been terminated, i.e. they must be admitted into the proceedings. If the observations relate to alleged prior art available other than from a document, e.g. from use, this should be taken into account only if the alleged facts either are not disputed by the applicant or proprietor or are established beyond reasonable doubt. Observations by third parties received after the conclusion of proceedings will not be taken into account and will simply be added to the file (see Guidelines for Examination, E-VI, point 3 and Rule 114 EPC).
using the EPO's online form.
via the European Patent Register.
Since 2 July 2012, third parties have been able to submit observations to the International Bureau about prior art in published PCT applications if they believe that the invention claimed lacks either novelty or inventive step. They can do this as from the date of the international publication and up to 28 months from the priority date. They can use WIPO's ePCT system or the Patentscope search system.
As explained in WIPO's FAQs, observations are transmitted to any competent International Searching Authority, and/or International Preliminary Examining Authority involved in the processing of the application during the international phase, if the International Bureau has not yet received the international search report, supplementary international search report or international preliminary report on patentability (Chapter II of the PCT) respectively. To the extent that the observations are received by those Authorities in time to be taken into account in drawing up their respective reports, any prior art referred to in the observations should be considered, provided that either a copy of the prior art is included, or it is otherwise immediately available to the examiner. The observations are also transmitted to the designated Offices promptly after the expiration of 30 months from the priority date. The designated Offices are, however, not obliged to take them into account during national processing.
Open the application by entering the application or publication number, then click on "Submit observations" at the top of the page.
Procedural acts cannot be performed by email. If the dedicated web-based form is not working you can always file your observations by post, fax or on Form 1038 within the Online filing software or CMS.
To receive a copy of your third-party submissions, you must actively tick the box on the submission form. This is deliberate, and intended to enable third parties to remain anonymous if they so wish.
You should be able to get round this problem by using a different browser or a different PC.

It's been nearly a year since I published a new image from one of my favorite lost towns of the West, Jay Em. I try to make it back at least once or twice each year, because I always find new images waiting for me in the recesses of its silent buildings. I'm going back again in July of this year, but in late May I made my first visit of 2013, and made a new set of images to tide me over for a few months. This is my favorite.

Q: Need some clarification on JSONP with JQuery/WCF Goal: Expose a simple WCF service that would take as a parameter a string that was a username and see if it already existed. This service would be used on the registration page of the site I'm working on so when a user typed a username it would automatically check to see if it was taken.
I've actually gotten this functionality to work, but I had to enable crossDomainScripting for the WCF service. My question is "why?"
To the code!
My WCF service is hosted within my MVC3 site (I originally had it in a separate site but to remove any and all concern about cross site scriptiong I moved it local.)
Interface for WCF Service
    [ServiceContract]
public interface IMembershipServices
{
    [OperationContract]
    [WebInvoke(Method = "GET", ResponseFormat = WebMessageFormat.Json,
        UriTemplate = "IsUsernameAvailable/{username}",
        BodyStyle = WebMessageBodyStyle.Bare)]
    MembershipUserAvailability IsUsernameAvailable(string username);

    [OperationContract]
    [WebGet(UriTemplate = "helloto/{name}", ResponseFormat = WebMessageFormat.Json)]
    string Hello(string name);
}

Implementation:
    [AspNetCompatibilityRequirements(RequirementsMode
    = AspNetCompatibilityRequirementsMode.Allowed)]
public class MembershipServices : IMembershipServices
{
    #region IMembershipServices Members

    public string Hello(string name)
    {
        return String.Format("Hello:{0}", name);
    }

    public MembershipUserAvailability IsUsernameAvailable(string username)
    {
        if (String.IsNullOrWhiteSpace(username))
        {
            throw new ArgumentException(username);
        }

        MembershipUser membershipUser = Membership.GetUser(username, false);

        var membershipUserAvailability = new MembershipUserAvailability
                                             {
                                                 UserName = username,
                                                 IsAvailable = membershipUser == null ? true : false
                                             };

        return membershipUserAvailability;
    }

Jquery to imlement call:
$(document).ready(function () {

var usernameTextbox = $('#username');
var usernameUnavailableRow = $('#usernameUnavailableRow');
var availabilityMessage = $('#availabilityMessage');

usernameTextbox.blur(function () {
    if ($(this).val()) {

        $.getJSON('/Services/MembershipServiceHost.svc/IsUsernameAvailable/' + escape($(this).val()), function (results) {
            if (results.IsAvailable) {
                if (usernameUnavailableRow.is(':visible')) {
                    availabilityMessage.html('This username is available.');
                    availabilityMessage.addClass('usernameAvailable');
                    availabilityMessage.removeClass('usernameTaken');
                }
            }
            else {
                usernameUnavailableRow.show();
                availabilityMessage.html('This username is already taken!');
                availabilityMessage.addClass('usernameTaken');
                availabilityMessage.removeClass('usernameAvailable');
            }
        });

    }
});

});
Now this all works great. I can type a username into the textbox on my registration form and when I leave the field the onBlur event fires and calls the WCF service returning results as expected...but only if I have crossDomainScriptAccessEnabled="true" in my web.config. This puzzles me. Perhaps it's a lack of understanding of JSON and JSONP (entirely possible. I'm fairly new to working with JSON) but since the service is hosted in the same domain why would I need this set?
I took a look at what Fiddler was sending:
GET /Services/MembershipServiceHost.svc/IsUsernameAvailable/Tim?callback=jQuery1510988704698288691_1302393437642&_=1302393485350 HTTP/1.1
And there's the callback parameter that I see mentioned in the JQuery docs.
http://api.jquery.com/jQuery.getJSON/

If the URL includes the string "callback=?" (or similar, as defined by the server-side API), the request is treated as JSONP instead. See the discussion of the jsonp data type in $.ajax() for more details.

Does this mean the simple act of having an on success callback will force GetJSON to utilize JSONP?
Any input appreciated.

A:
Does this mean the simple act of
  having an on success callback will
  force GetJSON to utilize JSONP?

The simple answer is yes.
If you add in the parameter or set the type to jsonp, jQuery will auto-magically do all the hard work for you.  You also need your service to be smart enough to wrap the data in a function call before it sends it to you -- but .net does this if given the parameter.
There are a number of other answers on SO that talk about how to use jsonp via jQuery.


People selling houses in Hastings have been making at least 10 per cent more pure profit than vendors in neighbouring Napier, a new report shows.
The latest Pain and Gain report from data analysts CoreLogic shows Napier property owners banked $14.4 million from property sales in the final three months of 2017.
That produced a median profit from sales of $157,400.
Sellers in Hastings banked a combined $10 million more of profit over the same period.
The report revealed the median profit from sales in Hastings was $161,000 – slightly higher than the median profit from sales in Napier.
Considering the median house price at the end of last year was $390,000 in Hastings and a $508,000 in Napier, people selling houses in Hastings, on average, made a 41 per cent profit (from time of purchase to sale), while those selling houses in Napier made about 30 per cent profit.
The median "hold period" for those achieving profit on sales was 8.6 years, the report said.
Nationally, the CoreLogic report showed that Aucklanders snapped up the greatest median profits per sale in the country at $370,000, up from $360,000 in the previous quarter. Queenstown Lakes followed at $357,000, up from $339,000 and recorded no loss making sales at all during the quarter.
The proportion of properties sold at a loss dropped slightly from 4.3% to 4% nationally, with gross losses of $13.9 million. Small increases were seen in Auckland (up 0.3%) and Hamilton (up 1.2%) during the quarter, but there was a substantial decline in Tauranga (down 2.5%).
Nationally, properties sold at a loss during the quarter had been owned for a median 4.2 years. This is slightly less that 4.5 years in the previous quarter, and likely driven by market fatigue in which owners question scope for future capital gains.

Studying a creative course allows you to dive into your passion and get the results you want with subjects you love.
Get organised: At the start of each trimester, look through your unit outlines and make a note of when each assignment is due on a calendar or planner, to give yourself a "bird's eye" view of the trimester. When allocating time to complete assignments, be realistic about how long you will need and give yourself a little bit of wriggle room in case something unexpected arises. JMC highly recommends starting assignments early, and working on them in stages over a number of weeks. This will not only make the assignment less stressful, but it will give you time to develop your ideas, and create more meaningful work.
Prioritise: If you find that there are not enough hours in the day, it is time to start prioritising. Make a list of all the things you hope to get done in the week. Order that list from most essential, to the least essential. Schedule times for the most important tasks first, and forgive yourself if you don't get to the less important items on your list.
Your teacher or Department Head can assist with any of the more challenging aspects of your course work or assignments. The best way to approach your teachers is to either talk to them during class, or email them and schedule a meeting. Don't forget, your Academic Support Officer is also trained to help you in all aspects of academic work including writing and research, and can help you learn effective study skills and time management techniques. JMC has a counsellor on every campus, who can teach you strategies to destress.
Reaching out for help is not a sign of weakness; it is a skill that will help make your journey through higher education smoother and more successful.
