Reading, Pa. (Apr. 8, 2019) – Women's Golf senior Emily Gilbert and Baseball senior Nathan Sides were named Alvernia Athletes of the Week for their performance during the week of April 1 – April 7.
Gilbert earned two low-medalist honors on the week, tying, and then breaking, her own school record in the process. At Alvernia's home invitational on Wednesday, Gilbert tied her own single round record with a score of 76 to earn low medalist at her final competition at Alvernia's LedgeRock Golf Club. She then shot a record-breaking round with a 1-under par 72 performance at day two of York College's Spartan Invitational. She birdied five or her first seven holes to stand 5-under through seven and settled for the 1-under par finish. Gilbert shot an 81 on in her opening round on Saturday and finished with a two-day total of 153 to earn low-medalist honors and finish four strokes ahead of the second place finisher.
Sides batted .565 in a 3-2 week for Alvernia, including a 2-1 week in MAC Commonwealth play. Sides went 13-for-23 at the plate with two doubles and two triples, collecting nine RBIs. He went 4-for-4 on Monday against Keystone with a double and a triple. He then drove in four runs on a 4-for-6 day against Susquehanna on Wednesday. In a doubleheader split against Messiah, Sides went 4-for-8 with three RBIs, and then drove in two in a 8-7 win over the Falcons on April 7.

L'État du Perlis (Jawi : ڨرليس), (Perlis Indera Kayangan) est le plus petit état de Malaisie. Il est situé à l'extrême Nord-Ouest du pays et est bordé au nord par les provinces de Satun et Songkhla dans le sud de la Thaïlande.

La capitale est la ville de Kangar, tandis que Arau est la ville royale. Padang Besar est la principale ville frontalière.

Population

Environ  en 2000, dont  (78 %),  (17 %),  et .

Histoire
Le Perlis faisait partie du Kedah, soumis à la suzeraineté du Siam et du sultanat d'Aceh. La conquête du Kedah par les Thaïs en 1821 inquiéta le colonisateur britannique installé dans l'État voisin du Perak. Aussi, en 1826, un traité entre les deux puissances finalisa la reconnaissance de la souveraineté thaïe sur ces États malais.

Il fallut attendre 1842 pour que le sultan vassal accepte cette domination. Les Siamois séparèrent le Perlis du Kedah, en y installa un roi (raja) de la famille du sultan du Kedah.

Le traité anglo-siamois de 1909 força la cession par le Siam de ses deux États malais à la Grande-Bretagne.

Économie
L'agriculture domine avec la riziculture, l'exploitation sucrière et les vergers. La pêche est une ressource traditionnelle.

You really can use it for everything
by Jonathan Wright, MD
Q: Okay, how do I get rid of this unsightly wart on my finger?
Dr. Wright: One of the best treatments I have found for removing warts is one that doesn't actually involve any vitamins, herbs, or other nutrients. In fact, all it involves is duct tape.
Several years ago, Dr. Dean Focht, a medical resident at Madigan Army Hospital in Tacoma, Washington, had 51 individuals, ages 3 to 22, use either standard liquid nitrogen freezing therapy or "duct tape therapy" for wart removal.
Of the 25 individuals using duct tape, 85 percent had their warts disappear, usually within a month. In the 26-member liquid nitrogen group, only 60 percent of the warts went away.
The therapy itself is fairly easy: Just cut the duct tape to the size of the wart and stick it on for six days. Then remove the tape, soak the wart in water, and buff it with pumice or an emery board. Twelve hours later, apply new tape. Repeat this cycle until the wart disappears.
If you find that the duct tape keeps falling off, or if you just want to disguise it, the easiest solution is to put a band-aid over the tape.

Some nutritional supplements provide real food for thought
By Janet Raloff
Science News February 26th, 2011; Vol.179 #5 (p. 26)
On his third consecutive evening of air combat, a military pilot closes in on the night's quarry, a suspected Taliban fuel depot in Afghanistan. Fatigued, his alertness flagging, the pilot throws some chewing gum into his mouth. Laced with caffeine, it's the cockpit alternative to a cup of coffee.
This pilot would probably suspect that the gum is just a perk-me-up. But several caffeinated military rations — including this relatively new one — do more than stave off sleepiness. Emerging data indicate that these rations boost not only attention but also cognitive performance, features that do not necessarily climb in lockstep.
The U.S. Department of Defense has been investigating such supplements to improve the ability of U.S. armed forces to maintain sustained periods of intense vigilance and focus, explains Harris Lieberman, a psychologist at the Army Research Institute of Environmental Medicine in Natick, Mass. Another hope, he notes: These dietary aids might minimize the risk of "friendly fire."
Army researchers at the institute, including Lieberman, are at the forefront of a small but growing cadre of investigators exploring how to boost what they call mental energy. This rather fuzzy phrase embraces wakefulness, but also includes mood, motivation and the capacity to perform key mental tasks.
Increasing mental energy is important for those enervated because of a lack of sleep or for those whose jobs, like those of fighter pilots, require vigilance even in the face of sleep deprivation. Compounds that keep you awake, it turns out, can also boost other aspects of mental performance. Improved cognition is emerging as a quantifiable side benefit of many of these substances — in some cases, even for those folks who aren't sleepy to begin with.
But the data can be hard to interpret, primarily because no test exists to directly measure mental energy, explains Patrick O'Connor of the University of Georgia in Athens. It must be inferred from other indicators. Still, it is fair to view fatigue and mental energy as anchoring opposite poles of a common spectrum, he says.
Similarly, caffeine anchors the stimulatory end of a spectrum of natural products exhibiting promise in hiking or sustaining cognitive aspects of mental energy. Others include L-theanine in tea, guarana, cocoa constituents and ginseng.
Learning how these compounds work, at what doses and under what circumstances, is important, argues O'Connor, because "mental energy underlies everything in our lives." It's key, he says, to achieving goals at home and work — and even to the success of the economy.
Perky brews
More data has emerged on caffeine's role in promoting mental energy than on any other dietary constituent. The stimulant blocks the activity of adenosine, a molecule that slows heart rate and induces drowsiness. Caffeine perks people up, Lieberman says, "by blocking something that normally slows you down."
At the Experimental Biology 2010 meeting in April in Anaheim, Calif., he described how, some 25 years ago, his team found that as little as 32 milligrams of caffeine — equivalent to what's in a 12-ounce can of cola or less than a cup of regular coffee — improved attentiveness for auditory and visual cues.
People had thought that any improved performance from caffeine might be limited to people who were tired. Here, though, the young men in the study were well rested, suggesting broader benefits.
Lieberman's more recent work has tested caffeine's effects on tasks especially relevant to the military. For instance, a study conducted during the training of 68 Navy SEALs assayed the effects of caffeine after 72 hours of sleep deprivation and round-the-clock exposure to cold and other stressors. The men were taking part in a weeklong test of endurance known as Hell Week.
Not surprisingly, the exhausted trainees didn't do nearly as well on tests of vigilance and other measures of cognitive performance three days into Hell Week as they had before the training marathon began. But those who got between 100 and 300 milligrams of caffeine an hour before a battery of mental tests made fewer mistakes and responded more quickly.
One task asked SEALs to scan for faint images that appeared for a couple of seconds on a computer monitor. Trainees who got no caffeine scored an average of 7.9 correct hits out of 20, while those given caffeine averaged between 10.6 and 12.2 correct responses. Caffeine recipients also had nearly 30 percent shorter response times. Scores on several other tasks, including a test of marksmanship, were unaffected.
Other scientists have been exploring caffeine's impacts on the brain. Andrew Smith of Cardiff University in Wales, for instance, asked 118 students to watch a computer screen where three-digit numbers appeared at a rate of 100 per minute. When two consecutive numbers matched, participants were to note it with a keystroke. Before the tests, 84 students were given chewing gum; roughly half (41) got gum laced with 40 milligrams of caffeine.
Students reported feeling substantially more alert after chewing the caffeinated gum. They also performed better on some tests, including the one in which they had to identify repeated numbers. Those given caffeine were 4.4 percent faster than those who worked gum-free and 4 percent faster than noncaffeinated-gum chewers. The stimulant also appeared to speed up people's ability to learn new information, Smith reported in the April 2009 Human Psychopharmacology.
Tea's bonus
Tea, which people worldwide drink more of than any other beverage except water, is a major dietary source of caffeine. Unlike coffee, it contains another potentially powerful ingredient for brain activity: L-theanine, an amino acid that can alter alpha brain wave rhythms, inducing wakeful relaxation.
In 2008 in Nutrition Reviews, Janet Bryan of the University of South Australia in Adelaide observed that alpha wave activity has been linked to "increased performance under stress and improved learning and concentration" and reduced anxiety. L-theanine seems to enhance caffeine's mental benefits, she noted.
Unilever, which owns Lipton, is actively investigating L-theanine's effects. Neither caffeine nor tea's caffeine-theanine combo augment performance on all types of mental tests, says Eveline De Bruin, a cognitive neuro scientist with Unilever's R&D facility in Vlaardingen, the Netherlands. The biggest impacts, she says, are in enhancing what's known as executive function — the ability to perform complex tasks that rely on planning or decision making.
For instance, in an upcoming issue of Appetite, De Bruin's team reports that tea brings boosts in executive function that increase with dose. On each day of a two-day study, 26 volunteers drank either strong tea or a tealike placebo before testing. One test asked participants to listen to rules on how to respond to sounds or images on a computer screen — and the rules changed every few seconds during each five-minute session. The men and women responded correctly in the auditory test almost twice as often (around 15 to 20 percent of the time versus 8 or 9 percent) after drinking tea rather than the placebo. Participants were also marginally — but reliably — more accurate after tea on a test that looked at the ability to plan and execute decisions (see "Switch test").
Switch test
Used to assess some cognitive impacts of food supplements, this test asks participants to hit a computer key when either of two combinations appears on-screen. Screens refresh once a second for five minutes, and target combinations may switch during the task. The example here prompts participants to respond when they see a letter and an even number (but only if green) or a number and vowel (but only if orange). L-theanine-rich tea boosted scores on this task, which measures one aspect of attention: the ability to plan and execute decisions.
While Unilever has demonstrated that tea enriched with triple the normal amount of L-theanine improves attention, De Bruin says Lipton has no plans to market such a product. "It is an interesting idea," she concedes, "but at present Lipton is proud of producing an all-natural leaf-tea product that is unmodified yet capable of noticeably improving attention and alertness."
Sweet paradox
Thinking, calculating, planning, learning, remembering — such mental tasks consume plenty of energy. Because glucose, better known as blood sugar, fuels body and brain, it might seem that a good dose of something sweet would be just what Mother Nature ordered to kick-start your neural hardware. Yet people with diabetes and high blood sugar levels can suffer from cognitive impairments.
Studies have begun probing this seeming contradiction. Two papers in August in Psychopharmacology, for instance,report a boost in mental performance when healthy people down a drink fortified with at least 50 grams of glucose (about 10 teaspoons worth) following a 12-hour overnight fast.
Christine Gagnon of the University of Quebec at Montreal and colleagues showed that in 44 people age 60 and up, drinking the glucose 15 minutes before the start of testing led to better scores on some tests than did the sugar-free alternative. Those on a sugar rush performed faster and accrued fewer errors when asked to quickly read a color name or name the color of words (even if a color word, such as green, appeared in a different color, say red). Glucose appeared especially beneficial in tasks that required switching and dividing attention, the researchers observed.
Among 90 undergrads, a sugary drink improved immediate recall of words, not faces, compared with a sugar-free one, reported a team led by Lauren Owen of the Brain Sciences Institute at the Swinburne University of Technology in Melbourne, Australia. Recall of large numbers that had appeared in earlier math calculations also improved.
Doses given in each study were high and would be ill-advised for people with trouble controlling their blood sugar, such as those with diabetes or metabolic syndrome. But David Benton of Swansea University in Wales has shown there may be a way to get the benefits of a glucose burst without overdoing sugary drinks. At the experimental biology meeting, he presented data indicating that for mental performance, it's actually better to deliver glucose parsimoniously. He does it by giving subjects foods containing carbohydrates that digest slowly.
In an early study, Benton's team gave cereals, breakfast bars or biscuits with roughly equal calories to 106 undergraduate women. The main difference between the meals was their glycemic index — how quickly the carbs break down into glucose.
Thirty minutes later and at regular intervals thereafter, the women took memory tests. Those who got the low-glycemic breakfast performed progressively better than those eating the rapidly digested meals. The difference was most dramatic for a later testing, 3.5 hours after breakfast, Benton says.
His group ran a similar test in rats, feeding them either quickly or slowly digested carbs. The rodents exhibited a similar improvement in learning when they got the slowly digested chow.
In a follow-up test, Benton's group administered breakfast to kids in an elementary school class for four weeks. Kids got a meal with high-glycemic carbs on one-third of the days, low-glycemic foods on another third, and carbs that broke down at an intermediate rate on the remaining days.
On various days throughout the trial, hidden cameras recorded the 19 children while they were supposed to be working independently on a reading or math assignment. The behavior of each child was recorded over a 30-minute period and scientists later logged what the youngster had been doing: working, looking around the room, talking to others, fidgeting, acting out or moving around the room. On days when the kids had eaten the low-glycemic breakfast, they were much more likely to remain on task — 26 percent of the time versus 18 percent or less on the other days.
The kids also took simple memory tests and played with a video game that was rigged to be frustratingly difficult to master. On days they had eaten the slow-to-digest breakfast, kids exhibited more initial patience with the game. Their recall was also better — "about 10 percent better," Benton says. It's a small difference, he acknowledges. "But if your child came home with 10 percent better scores on a test, would it matter to you? Most parents would say yes."
Herbal therapies
Tea and coffee aren't the only natural stimulant-laced plant extracts to show energizing as well as brain-boosting attributes. There's also guarana. Seeds of this Amazonian plant are an especially potent source of caffeine, which can constitute 5 percent of dried extracts. But guarana may have more than caffeine going for it.
At the experimental biology meeting, David Kennedy of Northumbria University in Newcastle upon Tyne, England, described cognitive benefits in young adults given small amounts of guarana — more benefits than when those volunteers received high doses. Indeed, Kennedy noted, guarana amounts needed to boost test scores and mood contained just 4 to 9 milligrams of caffeine. "That's only about a tenth as much as you'd find in a cup of coffee," Kennedy points out. "So guarana was doing something that wasn't attributable to its caffeine" — although his team doesn't yet know what.
He and colleagues have also been investigating other natural products that might elevate energy, attention and mental performance. Among these: Chinese ginseng (Panax ginseng). Young adults scored better on a battery of mental tests — including serial subtraction of numbers in their heads — and exhibited less mental fatigue after getting this herbal supplement rather than a placebo.
How Chinese ginseng may improve performance is unknown, but Kennedy suspects the effect might have to do with ginseng's ability to moderate blood sugar levels. At least at the 200-milligram dose used by his group, this supplement caused a drop in blood-glucose levels one hour after consumption.
Researchers report that American ginseng (P. quinquefolius) also shows promise. Compared with a placebo, all doses improved some aspect of cognition, Swinburne's Andrew Scholey and colleagues report in October in Psychopharmacology. One difference: This herbal supplement had no effect on blood glucose.
The Northumbria researchers are also exploring the idea that some natural products bolster brain function by affecting blood flow. For instance, if they dilate vessels, the products might allow more fuel — glucose — in to power brain activities. Kennedy and colleagues tested the idea by giving 30 students a cup of cocoa on three mornings. Each day's formulation contained a different amount — 46, 520 or 994 milligrams per serving — of cocoa flavanols, natural agents that have antioxidant and sometimes heart-healthy properties.
The cocoa packages used in the study were prepared by Mars, a candy company that has been exploring health attributes of some chocolate products.
Both higher-dose formulations, especially the middle one, improved performance during mentally challenging tests involving math and the visual processing of information, the scientists report. At the same time, the college students receiving the middle dose reported a reduction in mental fatigue. Maximum benefits showed up two hours into testing, which roughly corresponds to the expected peaks in concentrations of flavanols in the blood and in blood flow to the brain, Kennedy's team reported in the October Journal of Psychopharmacology.
The concept of mental energy is hardly new; recognition of it, on some level, dates back to Aristotle. But only during the last two decades has a steady trickle of studies begun quantifying how various dietary constituents battle fatigue and the fuzzy thinking that may accompany it.
The food industry has paid rapt attention to study findings (and, as is the case with Unilever and Mars, has even helped pay for some of the research). Indeed, O'Connor observes, hundreds of new products claim to boost mental energy. And their appeal is understandable since mental energy helps motivate people not only to work but also to stick with it when the going gets hard.
"Unfortunately," he adds, product claims "rarely are supported by compelling, unbiased scientific evidence."
Michael Falk and colleagues at the Life Sciences Research Organization in Bethesda, Md., recently conducted a major review of supplements and ingredients (other than caffeine) that purport to boost attentiveness and mental performance in people. The researchers identified 265 research reports in the scientific literature that met certain criteria.
Falk's team focused on 35 dietary constituents or factors, such as meal timing and the number of calories consumed. Promising data exist for ginkgo, ginseng, glucose and a few others, Falk says. But overall, his team concluded, for most "insufficient evidence is available to evaluate mental energy claims."
Much of the problem may reflect how the testing was conducted, he points out. For about three-fourths of the substances, there were no more than 10 qualifying studies; for more than half, there were five or fewer, the team reported in the December 2010 Nutrition Reviews. And for any given nutrient, Falk notes, different trials often applied different tests to assess mood, motivation and mental prowess — which made comparisons difficult.
Many of the reports also tested very different populations (young adults in some, the elderly in others), had different criteria for whether subjects were healthy, and failed to establish baseline measures of mood and mental proficiency before administering a potential brain booster. Further complicating the picture: "You're looking at what are relatively small effects and hard to measure," he says. "And these are against a background of high methodological and statistical noise." Such variations "undermine our ability to make strong conclusions."
But Falk suspects that may change fairly soon. Researchers have been investigating what to measure and how to do it. And they've determined that agents with promise don't always point to common benefits. Some may aid memory. Others may sharpen mental focus or speed up reaction times. Still others might make decision making easier.
When scientists begin standardizing tests, "I'm betting they'll come out with stronger, more narrowly focused and more [scientifically] supportable conclusions," Falk says. Findings that he says should point to whom these dietary supplements will benefit — and under which real-world conditions.
On the mental menu
Recent work suggests dietary substances such as caffeine and glucose may boost mental skills. Evidence for others ("Emerging substances") is preliminary.
Increases visual and auditory vigilance; speeds reaction times, improves accuracy and limits false positives on vigilance tasks; and increases learning and short-term memory on computer tests that require keystroke responses.
Increases speed and accuracy of pattern recognition that switches arbitrarily over time, increases relaxation, boosts accuracy of processing of rapidly delivered visual information and reduces susceptibility to distracting information during memory tests. May improve aspects of cognitive performance when delivered with caffeine, as in tea.
Enhances memory of recent words or images, increases verbal fluency, improves pace of some types of serial subtraction, speeds decision times, enhances facial recognition and, among children, limits vulnerability to distraction when working alone.
Increases alertness and the ability to recall words and images at a later point in time.
Emerging substances
Improves pattern recognition and sustained attention, enhances delayed recall and memory of faces, and improves pace of serial subtraction and executive decision making.
Chinese ginseng
Enhances speed of recall, improves performance on simple arithmetic tasks and decreases false alarms on tests that require rapid processing of visual information.
Cocoa flavanols
Increase processing of rapid visual information and improve the ability to count backward (though have led to more errors in some serial subtractions).

Cancer Fighting Berries
Different berries, similar cancer-fighting effects
Animal tests suggest esophageal and breast cancer might be targets of several types of berries • Sciencenews.org July 17th, 2010; Vol.178 #2
Garden-variety berries provide about the same cancer-fighting punch as more exotic ones, a study of rats with esophageal cancer shows. A separate study finds a potentially protective effect against breast cancer as well.
Cancer biologist Gary Stoner of Ohio State University in Columbus and his colleagues tested seven berry types against cancer of the esophagus in rats —black raspberries, red raspberries, blueberries, strawberries, noni berries, açai berries and wolfberries (also called goji berries).
The scientists injected the animals with a carcinogenic chemical and gave some of the rats normal food, while others got similar chow containing 5 percent of one of the berries in dehydrated form.
While nearly all of the rats fed normal chow developed tumors rapidly, only about two-thirds of the berry-supplemented rats did. Overall, these rats had about half as many tumors as the others, the researchers report in the June Pharmaceutical Research. The berry-fed rats also had lower concentrations of interleukin-5 and a rat version of interleukin-8, inflammatory proteins implicated in esophageal cancer.
Earlier work by Stoner's group found that black raspberries contain ample amounts of the two cancer-fighting compounds ellagitannin and anthocyanin. Ellagitannins also show up in nuts, pomegranates and other berries, while anthocyanins give many berries a red, purple or blue color.
But the new work shows that a berry need not have large concentrations of either compound to be a cancer fighter. For example, blueberries and açai berries are high in anthocyanins but low in ellagitannins. And wolfberries are low in both, Stoner says.
"There may be different things in different berries that are providing these [anticancer] effects," says Ramesh C. Gupta, a cancer biologist at the University of Louisville School of Medicine in Kentucky. "It's a good thing," he says, since availability varies by region.
In the other study, Gupta and his colleagues induced breast cancer in female rats by implanting estrogen in the animals. Some animals received a diet comprising 2.5 percent dehydrated blueberries or black raspberries and others got food without berries. Those getting berries showed less tumor growth, the researchers report in the June Cancer Prevention Research. The berries also decreased activation of two genes implicated in breast cancer, CYP1A1 andCYP1B1.
Although the various berries tested in these studies differ from one another in chemical composition, they have things in common, such as an anti-inflammatory effect, Stoner says. They also contain cellulose, lignin and pectin. These fibrous compounds "may be the common denominator," he says, because in digesting these fibers, the body makes butyrate, which previous research has shown may have anticancer properties.
"It could be the presence of more conventional antioxidants such as the carotenoids, or more likely vitamin C, which was not measured in this study," says Susan Duthie, a nutritional biochemist at the University of Aberdeen in Scotland.
In any case, the potent anticancer effect of berries shown in lab-dish and animal studies has yet to be replicated in people, she cautions. A huge European study reported earlier this year found only very modest protection against cancer from a diet high in fruits and vegetables. "There is stronger protective evidence for berries and the compounds in them against heart disease and cognitive decline in humans," Duthie says.

ACUPUNCTURE, KNEE PAIN, ARTHRITIS, OSTEOARTHRITIS
– Acupuncture, Traditional Chinese Medicine, Physical Therapies
"[Clinical study on the treatment of knee osteoarthritis by acupuncture plus manipulative regulation of knee muscle]," Sun K, Bao XM, et al, Zhongguo Gu Shang, 2010 Dec; 23(12): 895-8. (Address: Acupuncture-Moxibustion Hospital Affiliated to Anhui College of Traditional Chinese Medicine, Hefei 230061, Anhui, China. E-mail: sunyk@sina.com ).
In a randomized study involving 121 patients with osteoarthritis of the knee, treatment with acupuncture plus manipulative regulation of knee muscle balance was found to significantly reduce symptoms of osteoarthritis, as compared to a control group who received treatment with diclofenac sodium sustained release tablets.
Patients were divided into a treatment group (n=63 cases involving 83 knees, 47 females, 16 males, average age: 60 years), and a control group (n=58 cases involving 73 knees, 45 females, 13 males, average age: 58 years). Appraisal scores of symptoms and physical signs index in the treatment group reduced from 39.81 to 9.69 (compared to 39.89 to 13.62 among controls), the numerical scale of pain reduced from 7.61 to 2.17 (compared to 7.55 to 3.34), joint function reduced from 1.47 to 0.61 (compared to 1.33 to 0.93), and joint swelling reduced from 1.23 to 0.42 (compared to 0.97 to 0.58 in the control group).
While both groups experienced reductions in symptoms, those in the acupuncture plus manipulative therapy group were found to have a better therapeutic effect in terms of scores of symptoms and physical signs index, numerical rating scale of pain, and joint function.
After the treatment period, 12 patients in the treatment group were considered "clinically cured," as compared to 5 in the control group. 48 patients in the treatment group were found to have "remarkable effects" as compared to 31 in the control group, 19 were found to have "good" effects, as compared to 34 in the control group, and 4 were found "ineffective" as compared to 3 in the control group.
When the patients were followed up with three months post-treatment, these numbers were 8, 42, 27, and 6 in the treatment group, as compared to 5, 21, 37, and 10, in the control group.
The authors conclude, "Acupuncture plus manipulative regulation of knee muscle balance can effectively improve the clinical symptoms and knee joint's motor function of patients with knee osteoarthritis, and can avoid the further development of disease. It is a proved effective method for knee osteoarthritis."
Improve Vision
Improve your vision by up to 30% in just two months
From Robert J. Rowen, MD in SecondOpinionNewsletter.com
You probably already know that certain plant flavonoids can protect your eyes. I've told you in the past about bilberry, grape seed extract, and other flavonoids. Now there's a way to increase the protection – and improve your vision.
In 46 diabetic patients with mild to moderate eye disease, Pycnogenol dramatically helped. Pycnogenol is a water extract from the bark of the French maritime pine. The participants took it for three months. Compared to a placebo group, the Pycnogenol reduced retinal edema and improved retinal thickness.
Better still, Pycnogenol increased retinal blood flow in the central retinal artery (measured by Laser Doppler) significantly. The increase went from 34 to 44 cm/s. That's a big jump. On the Snellen visual acuity chart, 18 of the 24 patients had significant improvement. And they saw the benefits after only two months. Because of how it works, this extract ought to help protect your eyes from glaucoma as well.

I just discovered a new article/interview by Kirk Hamilton about Juice Plus+. I have been taking it for over fifteen years…(and I never get a cold)
Randomised, Double-Blind, Placebo-Controlled Trial,"Br J Nutr , 2010 Aug 23;1-5; [Epub ahead of print]. 48189 (11/2010) "Reduction Of Common Cold Symptoms By Encapsulated Juice Powder Concentrate Of Fruits And Vegetables
Kirk Hamilton: Can you please share with us your educational background and currentposition?
Stephanie Roll: I am a statistician working at the Institute for Social Medicine, Epidemiology andHealth Economics at the Charité University Medical Center in Berlin, Germany. I received my Ph.D. atCharité University doing research about Health Services, Epidemiology and Health Related Quality of Life in Patients with Cardiovascular Disease.
KH: What got you interested in studying the role of an encapsulated juice powder concentrates(Juice Plus®) on the common cold?
SR: There was evidence from previous studies indicating the effects of Juice Plus® on the common cold, but these were explorative results. Thus, we wanted to conduct a study on the symptoms of the common cold as our primary research question.
KH: Where did you come up with a daily dose of four capsules per day? How was it taken? Withmeals or away from meals? In a single dose or divided dose? Why did you choose this particular juice powder concentrate?
SR: A daily dose of four capsules is the recommended dosage for this retail product. In our study,participants were required to take two capsules in the morning with breakfast, and two capsules in the evening with dinner. This intervention was chosen to further investigate published findings from groups in Graz, Austria and Florida, USA.
KH: Were blood levels of any components of the juice powder concentrate or other biochemical markers taken before, during or after the intervention? If so did they correlate with symptoms of the common cold?
SR: In out trial we considered patient relevant outcomes (like symptoms or days with common cold), and did not take blood samples.
KH: Can you tell us about your study and the basic results?
SR: We conducted a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled trial that included healthcare professionals (mainly nursing staff) from a large university hospital in Berlin. Over the winter period, 529 healthy participants took four capsules of Juice Plus® or matching placebo daily for 8 months. Regarding the number of days with moderate or severe common cold symptoms over 6 months, after a two month run-in, which was our primary outcome, we found a mean of 7.6 days in the Juice Plus® group and 9.5 in the placebo group, indicating a 20% reduction in duration of symptom days with Juice Plus® use.
KH: Were there any side effects with the juice powder concentrate therapy? How was the patient compliance?
SR: We did not find side effects or adverse events. The compliance in the study was high in bothgroups (96.0% in the Juice Plus® group and 96.5% in the placebo group). No side effects were reported.
KH: Who is a candidate for this therapy? Everyone since everyone gets a common cold? Who?
SR: In this study, we did not use Juice Plus® for therapy. We included healthy participants to assess any preventive effects of the product. Anyone who can eat fruits and vegetables might want to consider adding Juice Plus® to their diet. We did not expect an immediate effect, which is why we had all subjects on a two month run in with their study capsules before the six month period of interest.
KH: Could you get this same kind of effect by just eating a lot of fruits and vegetables?
SR: That is an interesting question. We have not done research on this topic, so we cannot say. JuicePlus® is not intended to replace eating fruits and vegetables, but seems a reasonable addition to the diet reported by the subjects in this project.
KH: How can the public or health professionals use this information? Do you have any further comments on this very interesting subject?
SR: Since our study was the first randomized, double-blind trial regarding common cold symptoms in healthcare professionals, further long-term studies should aim to assess similar effects in different populations.

Resveratrol is a plant compound produced by several plants when attacked by bacteria or fungus. Many studies show its beneficial effects in yeasts and lower animals, suppressing inflammation and oxidative damage. A new study shows that resveratrol also has these same benefits in humans. Two groups of 10 subjects were given either a placebo or 40 mg of resveratrol for six weeks and blood samples were taken at one, three, and six weeks. (Ghanim H, et al., An antiinflammatory and reactive oxygen species suppressive effects of an extract of Polygonum cuspidatum containing resveratrol. J Clin Endocrinol Metab. 2010 Jun 9. [Epub ahead of print]
In those taking the active supplement, the blood specimens revealed the reduction of numerous markers of inflammation, including TNF-alpha, interleukin-6, and C-reactive protein (CRP). It also lowered all of the markers that they evaluated that reflect oxidative stress. They noted that these markers were also associated with the development of insulin resistance and diabetes, so reducing them could have widespread benefits, lowering the risk of stroke, diabetes, and heart disease, and slowing the aging process.
In lower animals, resveratrol has been shown to extend life, but this kind of study is difficult to do in humans (as it would take an inordinate amount of time). However, resveratrol increases the activity of the enzyme telomerase, which helps to preserve DNA length during cell division. This has been associated with decreased cell aging and prolongation of life in all the animals studied.
Resveratrol is found in the skin of red grapes and (perhaps more famously) red wine. It is also found in peanuts, blueberries, cranberries, and mulberries. Per ounce, peanuts have about half as much resveratrol as red wine, but some Concord grape products can have quite a bit more than wine. Most supplements are derived from Japanese knotweed. You would have to drink unhealthy amounts of wine to get therapeutic levels of resveratrol, so other sources and supplements are better. (I take 75 mg per day of trans-resveratrol.)
Resveratrol has wider potential for health benefits. It is an activator for a group of enzymes called "sirtuins." In laboratory and animal studies these enzymes appear to slow the aging process, and new evidence shows that they promote memory and brain agility. The molecular effects of these enzymes are similar to the benefits of caloric restriction in protecting DNA and promoting longevity (without the discipline required and the other sacrifices involved when reducing your food intake).
SIRT1, the mammalian form of this enzyme, plays a role in cardiac function and DNA repair, in addition to its effects on the brain. Activation of SIRT1 improves the plasticity of brain synapses (the connections between neurons) and the formation of memory. In addition to memory and longevity, SIRT1 has a direct role in maintaining normal brain function. (Gao J, et al., A novel pathway regulates memory and plasticity via SIRT1 and miR-134. Nature. 2010 Jul 11. [Epub ahead of print]).
Weight loss (if you haven't seen me for the past six months I have lost approximately 30 pounds by using the product below)
A weight loss trial was conducted at the Canadian Center for Functional Medicine using SlimStyles Meal Replacement Drink Mix with PGX from December to February, possibly the most difficult time of year to lose weight. In spite of the holiday season, participants were able to continuously lose body fat and achieve their weight loss goals. Most diets fail because they cause you to lose lean muscle and body water, slowing your overall metabolic rate which increases fat retention and increases the likelihood of gaining that weight back.
The researchers found that participants using the SlimStyles Meal Replacement Drink Mix consistently lost up to two pounds per week, which was primarily made up of body fat. In addition, the SlimStyles weight loss program maintained lean muscle mass and did not affect body water levels.
PGX is a blend of naturally-occurring water-soluble polysaccharides (fibres) that can absorb many times their weight in water. It is the result of years of intensive clinical and laboratory research at Canadian universities in collaboration with Canadian Center for Functional Medicine.
It was found that a certain soluble fibre could stabilize blood sugar levels, reduce blood cholesterol levels, regulate appetite and help people lose weight without feeling deprived, a key to life long weight management. PGX has an even greater effect on appetite and weight loss as its water-binding capacity is 5 times greater than the fibre studied, and 10 to 20 times greater than other soluble fibres such as psyllium or guar gum. This means that smaller doses of PGX can have greater beneficial health effects than other fibres, as well as supporting safe, sustainable weight loss.
The SlimStyles Meal Replacement Drink Mix with PGX is initially a smooth appealing texture. Once ingested, the PGX absorbs water causing it to thicken and expand for a few hours afterward. This expansion helps to prevent overeating, food cravings and snacking, making healthy weight loss possible. It is important to drink lots of water with PGX to ensure proper absorption. PGX helps your appetite under control for hours and provides a sense of fullness.
Promotes healthy weight loss
Curbs appetite and prevents food cravings
Keeps you full and satisfied for hours
Provides high nutrition with low calories
Balances blood sugar levels
Supports healthy cholesterol levels
SlimStyles can be ordered through Emerson Ecologics, see the instructions at the top of this email. Slim Styles is available as a meal replacement drink or as capsules which are to be taken before a meal to enhance the sense of fullness and satiety.

Memory Enhancement
The Secret of the Ancient Rishis from: www.SecondOpinionNewsletter.com
Thousands of years ago — before the written word — people passed on their knowledge and wisdom from generation to generation through exhaustive oral histories.
In ancient India, this task was entrusted to the Rishi holy men. The Rishi were famous for their ability to perform epic poems at will…and for days on end.
They could reel off hours of Hindu prayers and recite epics completely from memory, without pausing. One famous oral history, the Rig-Veda, contained 1,028 hymns — each one taking eight hours to sing! Another classic poem, the Mahabharata, took several weeks to recite in Sanskrit.
When finally translated to written form thousands of years later, some of these epics contained nearly 9,000 pages of text. But the Rishis were able to recite them word-for-word!
How Did They Do It?
The Rishis attributed their amazing memory to a special tea brewed from a wild herb that grew along the sacred River Ganges. This humble plant was so prized for its memory-enhancing power, they named it Brahmi, after the Hindu creator god.
Thousands of years later, modern scientists began to study the plant, known as bacopa monnieri. And what they found shocked them: 14 separate studies found that bacopa really works!
For example, one clinical trial in Australia tested 46 volunteers on reasoning skills, memorization, and learning ability.
After 3 months, nearly everyone in the bacopa group improved their ability to grasp new information without forgetting it a few days later. They were also able to speed up decision-making and think more quickly on their feet.
In a separate study, people were divided into two separate groups. Both groups were taught to perform a specific task, but the difference was that one group took bacopa and the other did not.
Result: While the people in the control group took an average of 10 days to learn the task, the people taking bacopa took only 6 days to learn the same task! That's a whopping 40% increase in learning ability.
Sound good so far?
It gets even better. Bacopa can also help protect you from stress.
You already know that excessive stress is bad for your health. But did you know it's also bad for your brain?
For one thing, it impairs short-term memory. It also affects concentration, which is why you become inefficient, forgetful and accident-prone during stressful times.
Happily, bacopa helps your brain manage the rigors of stress. People who take bacopa regularly say it gives them a sense of calm and peace without making them feel tired or groggy.
In one study, bacopa helped lower anxiety levels in patients by about 20 percent. What's more, participants said they didn't tire as easily, and enjoyed better short-term memory. Plus, physical symptoms of stress overload — like headaches, sleeplessness, and irritability — were also relieved.
Emerson Ecologics carries this product plus many other formula with Bacopa. See the link at the top to order.

When you buy an apple at the grocery store, you know what that little sticker is for. It gives the cashier a code to ring up the sale.
But that sticker also has a secret to share with you – something that doesn't concern the cashier at all.
According to the website Fruit Sticker (fruitsticker.com), the code reveals some very useful information:
Conventionally grown produce has a four-digit number on the sticker.
Organic produce gets a five-digit number that begins with a 9.
And produce items that are genetically modified also get five digits, but they begin with an 8.
So the produce aisle, more than anywhere else in life, is where being a 9 makes you MUCH better than being an 8!

Remember….
You should get a treatment minimally, at least 4 times a year. Being in pain should not be the reason to seek treatment.
By the time you are in pain, your body is far down the road of dysfunction. Pain is generally the last thing to appear and the first to disappear with any problem.
If you have ever had a blister you know that by the time it hurts the damage is done. This is true for all aspects of the body. Pain appears last.
Pain disappears first……..When you get a cut…the pain lasts for a few days but you can see clearly that the area isn't fully healed for many days or weeks after. With more severe injuries this is even more so the case. Some injuries may take up to a year and a half to heal to maximum capacity. During the healing time treatments and nutritional/herbal supplements can accelerate the process and neutralize any compensation for the injury.

Neal Adams returned to Batman with 2010's Batman: Odyssey . With it he created an all-new Batmobile, primarily based on the classic C3 Corvette but with a few upgrades. These included flight capability (with hover jets, propulsion jets, and retractable wings) and hydrofoil capability (with retractable wheels and a sealing hull) along with the standard Batmobile items like ejection seats and an on-board computer. Also notable is that this is the first Batmobile to use a turbocharged engine fueled with biodiesel.


"It means a lot," said Clijsters, who spent last year's US Open watching her then-fiancée, Lleyton Hewitt, from the Friends Box with a cast on. "If I look back now, I think everything that happened there, happened for a reason. Maybe that's why I'm sitting here now, with this trophy next to me. I definitely think it all worked out very good for me."
After failing in her first four attempts to win a Slam crown, Clijsters showed none of the nerves that shook her in the 2003 US Open final when she was straight setted by Justine Henin-Hardenne. The 22-year-old beat Pierce from every angle of the court, serving more accurately, gunning her forehand and outrunning Pierce in nearly every extended rally.
"It's the best thing that can every happen to her finally," said her coach, Marc Dehous. "When we saw the draw and saw she had to beat Venus and Sharapova and then Pierce, that was like winning three finals in a row. She was mentally very tough."
Clijsters didn't always spank the ball, but slid into splits along the baseline and made Pierce overplay time and time again. She committed only 19 unforced errors in the match, whacked 16 winners and won 79 percent of her first serve points. Pierce tried to penetrate her with her big groundies, but Clijsters kept relentlessly retrieving.
"She's quicker than all the other girls that I've played so far,"' Pierce said. "She got another ball back every time. And even when I would hit a good shot that usually would either win a point or set up a winner for the next shot against other girls, Kim would hit another ball back and I'd know I'd just made a mistake. There are fast girls out there on the tour as well, but Kim is just solid. She gets real far behind the baseline and she slides, even on hard courts, and gets balls back. And not just get them back, but hits a fairly decent shot, and deep. I would definitely say that that is probably her strength."
With the victory, former No. 1 Clijsters notched her sixth title on US Open hardcourts, winning the US Open Series and with her victory in the final, collected a cool $2.2 million.
Pierce knew from the opening game that she was in deep trouble, when she missed a backhand on break point. Clijsters broke Pierce again to 4-1 when she forced her into a forehand error, but double faulted in the next game on break point.
But the Belgian remained solid while Pierce couldn't buy a swing volley and lost control of her down-the-line game. Clijsters broke Pierce again to win the first set when the Frenchwoman missed another backhand.
Pierce had her sore thigh wrapped in between sets, but it may no difference, as Clijsters stepped on the gas again, breaking Pierce again to 2-0 with a backhand swing volley.

Joseph J. Benincasa, As Administrator Ad Prosequendum and General Administrator of the Estate of Frank Pelletere, Deceased, Plaintiff-appellant, v. Leonard Saia, Defendant-appellee, 238 F.2d 561 (3d Cir. 1956)
U.S. Court of Appeals for the Third Circuit - 238 F.2d 561 (3d Cir. 1956) Argued October 4, 1956
Decided November 9, 1956
Harry Chashin, Paterson, N. J. (Marcus & Levy, Paterson, N. J., on the brief), for appellant.
George W. Connell, Newark, N. J., (Shaw, Pindar, McElroy & Connell, Newark, N. J., on the brief), for appellee.
Before McLAUGHLIN, KALODNER and STALEY, Circuit Judges.
McLAUGHLIN, Circuit Judge.
This suit arises out of an intersection automobile accident which occurred in Paterson, New Jersey, about 7:30 A.M., December 27, 1952. A taxicab, operated by appellant's decedent, Pelletere, was proceeding north on Auburn Street which at its right angle intersection with Van Houten Street is a "stop street". Appellee, Saia, in a 1948 Oldsmobile convertible was driving west on Van Houten. The cars collided somewhere within the intersection of the two streets. Pellettere died January 1, 1954. On December 17, 1954, appellant filed his complaint in the district court. Alleging diversity of citizenship and jurisdictional amount in controversy, the complaint charged that the accident was Saia's fault. Appellant as general administrator sought damages resulting from his decedent's personal injuries together with the latter's expenses and loss of earnings in connection therewith. In that first count he alleged that Pelletere had died as a result of the accident. In the second count appellant, as administrator ad prosequendum on behalf of the next of kin, sued under the New Jersey Death Act, N.J.S.A. 2A:31-1 et seq. The answer, inter alia, denied negligence on the part of the appellee and denied that Pelletere had either been injured or had died as a consequence of the collision. The case was tried on the issues indicated by the pleadings. The jury gave a verdict of five thousand dollars in favor of the plaintiff as general administrator. On the death claim there was a verdict of no cause for action. The general administrator judgment was paid and cancelled of record. From the judgment entered in the ad prosequendum count this appeal was taken.
Appellant's first point is that the determination of the negligence and contributory negligence issues by the jury in the general administrator action is not binding on the administrator ad prosequendum claim.
These were two different causes of action arising out of the same wrongful acts. In both claims plaintiff charged that Saia's negligence occasioned the collision. In the general administrator count damages were sought for personal injuries to Pelletere and for his consequent losses and expenses. As administrator ad prosequendum the plaintiff, asserting that Pelletere's death resulted from the accident, asked for damages on behalf of the next of kin. The same defenses were presented to both actions and included that of Pelletere's contributory negligence.
The court correctly instructed the jury as to negligence and contributory negligence. Coming to damages, the court, first with regard to plaintiff as general administrator, said:
"The plaintiff is under a burden to prove by a fair preponderance of evidence a causal connection between the injury and the accident. If you determine that the injury for which compensation is here sought was not related to the accident, there can be no compensation. There must be causal connection between the injury for which claim is here made and the accident, itself, which the plaintiff alleges resulted in the injury.
"If you determine that the plaintiff is entitled to a verdict in his favor you will award him such sum as in your judgment will fairly and justly compensate him for the injury or injuries sustained and the consequent damage which resulted therefrom."
Taking up the death claim the court charged:
"The burden is upon the plaintiff to prove likewise here, not only that the deceased Pelletere died, but that his death resulted from injuries caused in the accident. There must be proof by a fair preponderance of evidence of a causal relation between his death and the injuries sustained in the accident. If you determine from the evidence and the inferences of which the evidence is reasonably susceptible that the decedent Pelletere died from causes not related to the accident, the defendant is not answerable in damages.
"Now, it becomes important here because I foresee a situation in which you might — I am not suggesting that you shall, I am not intending to imply that I entertain any opinion about it — you may come to the conclusion that the deceased suffered some injury from the accident for which he is entitled to compensation, and if all the other elements of proof have been met — and I don't want to go through them again — then he would be entitled to a verdict on that claim alone. You may determine, in view of the posture of the testimony and the conflict of the medical testimony of the doctors, that the death, ultimate death of Pelletere had no relation to the injuries sustained in the accident. In other words, you then have to return a verdict for the defendant."
Early in the charge the judge had advised the jury that two separate claims were involved and that a verdict had to be returned on each. He repeated this at the end of his instructions and for a guide gave the jury a sheet of paper with the caption of the suit appearing on it. The verdict was returned through the foreman. The transcript of this reveals the jury's complete understanding of and compliance with the court's instructions. It reads:
"The Clerk: Ladies and gentlement of the jury, have you agreed upon your verdict?
"The Foreman: Yes, we have agreed upon a verdict and I as the Foreman shall speak for the jury.
"The Clerk: Mr. Foreman, how say you?
"The Foreman: I say that we find for the plaintiff, Joseph Benincasa, general administrator, that there is just cause for the claim.
"The Court: The amount of the damage is how much?
"The Foreman: The claim for personal injury, your Honor, we don't find the last portion, the claim for death.
"The Court: What do you find on the first? What is the amount of the damage?
"The Foreman: $5,000, your Honor.
"The Court: $5,000. And on the death claim no cause for action?
"The Foreman: No cause for action, your Honor.
"The Court: All right.
"The Clerk: Ladies and gentlemen of the jury, harken to your verdict as the Court shall order it recorded. You say you find in favor of the plaintiff on the first claim and assess the damages in the sum of $5,000, and so say you all.
"The Jurors: So say we all.
"The Clerk: And on the second count you find for the defendant, and so say you all.
"The Court: No cause for action, so say you all.
"The Jurors: So say we all."
This is a diversity suit and New Jersey law controls. Following the general principle, that state, in the sort of situation confronting us, holds "In order to support an action there must be not only the negligent act, but a consequential injury which is the gravamen of the charge * * *." Ochs v. Public Service R. Co., E. & A. 1911, 81 N.J.L. 661, 662, 80 A. 495, 496, 36 L.R.A.,N.S., 240. And see Murphy v. Terzoko, 1951, 14 N.J.Super. 254, 261, 82 A.2d 1.
There were no exceptions to the above quoted portions of the charge nor were there any sound reasons for complaining of the law as stated by the court which was on all fours with the New Jersey doctrine. So what we have here is a jury accurately advised as to the law of the case and alerted to the necessity of passing separately on each claim with respect to its damage features. Following that, verdicts were returned. By those verdicts the defendant necessarily was held guilty of causing the accident and the plaintiff innocent of contributory negligence. Just cause was found for the injuries' action and five thousand dollars was the amount of the award on that count. No cause for action was found on the death claim. The reason for this, in accordance with the explicit instructions of the court, had to be that the jury, after considering the evidence, found no causal connection between the collision and Pelletere's death. There is no contradiction between the jury verdicts on the two counts of the complaint. They clearly express the jury's decision reached under the guidance of the court's instructions.
Appellant next asserts that the evidence compelled a finding of causal connection between the accident and Pelletere's death. He urges that his motion for judgment included this contention. Assuming that it does, the evidence demonstrates that denial of the motion was mandatory. Dr. Sporer, licensed to practice medicine in New Jersey since 1946 and who has specialized in urology from that time, testifying on behalf of the plaintiff did say that "I think by aggravating the condition of the right kidney indirectly it led to the ultimate death by accelerating [it]." Dr. Levine, practicing medicine since 1917 and attending urologist at the Paterson General Hospital since 1935, was a defense witness. In his opinion the inflamed condition of the right kidney in February, 1953 had no causal connection with the collision and there was no such connection between the collision and the November, 1954 uremia of the left kidney which resulted in the death of plaintiff's intestate. In the light of the substantial evidence given by Dr. Levine directly opposed to plaintiff's theory of the death, the trial judge had no recourse but to leave the issue to the jury which he did in the concise language above quoted. The verdict of that tribunal rests upon testimony competent to sustain the inference implied in that finding that the jury concluded that Pelletere's death was not causally connected with the accident and is conclusive. Hager v. Weber, 1951, 7 N.J. 201, 210, 81 A.2d 155.
Because the question of negligence was resolved by the jury in favor of the plaintiff any problem arising from the police officer Johnson's challenged testimony is academic.1 Even if it were not, the compelling inference is that Saia's statement was given in the presence of the deceased under the circumstances above outlined and within close to ten minutes of the accident. From the facts the trial court may well have considered it part of the res gestae. Further, Saia, who had been called as a witness in plaintiff-appellant's case, was asked on direct examination, "Did you ever state to anyone that Mr. Pelletere had not come to a stop at the Stop sign?" He answered, "I don't remember." In the situation the Johnson evidence of what Saia said was admissible without reference to the truth of the matter to show that he had actually made the sort of statement regarding which he had been interrogated. And the Hearsay Rule had no application. Wigmore on Evidence, 3rd Ed. § 1766.
Appellant's argument that his request to charge, amounting to a direction of verdict on the negligence phase of the suit, should have been granted is also disposed of by the verdict in his favor on the question of fault. However, it might be well to state that the record reveals sharply conflicting testimony as to who was to blame for the accident. The resolving of that issue was clearly for the jury.
The judgment of the district court will be affirmed.
The radio policeman, Johnson, with his partner, arrived at the scene of the accident about ten minutes after it had occurred. He talked with both drivers. He was not asked if this was in the presence of each other and he did not specifically so state. However, on cross-examination by plaintiff's attorney he did outline his practice on such occasions saying, "We get both drivers together, where one can hear the other one, we ask, whoever is No. 1, what happened, he explains, whatever he says we write down; we ask No. 2 what happened, exactly what he says we write down." (Emphasis supplied). On direct examination, without objection, the witness said that Pellettere told him "* * * he slowed down at the intersection but No. 2 (Saia) came down Van Houten St. and hit him." The officer testified that Pelletere did not say anything to him about stopping at the Van Houten intersection.
Plaintiff objected to the officer giving Saia's version of the collision on the ground it was hearsay. The court permitted the testimony. The officer stated, "Mr. Saia, which is No. 2 said that No. 1, Mr. Pelletere, came through the Stop street about thirty miles an hour and hit him."
of Third Circuit opinions.


Fasting is the act of going without food for a certain amount of time. What is it and why do we do it?
First of all, let's define fasting. Here is a generally accepted definition of fasting among Christians over the centuries. "Fasting is a temporary renunciation of something that is in itself good, like food, in order to intensify our expression of a need for something greater; namely, God and his work in our lives."
Now defined like that, fasting is not explicitly commanded in the Bible for Christians. But even though there is no command to fast in the New Testament, nevertheless there are indications that it was normal and that Jesus expected it would happen among his followers.
So several things stand out in that passage. One is that Jesus says, "When you fast," not "If you fast." That is what I mean when I say it seems that He expects that His followers will be fasting. But even more clear in this passage is that Jesus insisted that our fasting not be for the sake of impressing other people.
In fact, we should go out of our way, he says, as much as possible — washing our face, combing our hair — to keep other people from knowing that we are fasting. And that gives fasting for Christians a radically Godward focus.
And in that sense fasting is a great test and confirmation that God is real to us, since in many situations God is the only person who knows you're fasting. And the practice of fasting can't impress anybody, and all it can do is test whether you and God are really in a relationship.

While everyone else in Boston was impressed by the "statue" stunt put on Thursday in Harvard Square by Shaquille O'Neal, the center's Celtic teammates weren't exactly floored by the event. Take Rajon Rondo for example.
Had he seen Shaq's stunt?
Had he heard about it?
Did he know what was going on?
"I'm not surprised," said Rondo, who's already all too familiar with his teammate's bizarre brand of showmanship. "But no, I didn't hear about it."
"I don't even know what you're talking about," said O'Neal's coach, Doc Rivers, when asked Friday about O'Neal's stunt.
Maybe the Celtics aren't yet ready for the Shaq spectacle. They've had a lot of great players here in Boston over the last few years, but none quite like Shaq in terms of generating interest away from the basketball court.
"He brings that," Rivers said. "He brings us something to talk about off the floor, probably as much as any player we've had. I'm good with that, as long as he brings that same interest on the floor. I'm hoping that he will."
This preseason has been a tremendous success for O'Neal — not only because of his 9.0 points and 4.8 rebounds per exhibition contest, but also in the heightened celebrity status he's gained in Boston in such a short time.
"That's good," Rivers said. "Shaq gets it in a lot of ways, you know. He loves his job, he plays the game, but he also understands that it's not so serious that you can't enjoy life and have fun with people. The people are the ones who pay to watch the games. I would say that he gets that as much as any star."

Macomb: Connecting Our Brand
Trending upward on the shoulders of a re-energized automotive industry, Southeast Michigan has plotted a fresh move forward. What does this forward movement mean to each of the communities and are we truly connected as a region? How do all of our individual strengths come together for an even stronger combined unit? Macomb County is a proud member of the Detroit Region and has stepped up its game as a critical piece of the region's economic ecosystem. Reinvigorating its own identity, Macomb has made itself more competitive with a greater focus on manufacturing capabilities, enhanced quality of life and making sure that our institutions are educating the workforce of today and tomorrow. This has been instrumental in a much-welcomed upsurge in economic, social, and environmental activities in Southeast Michigan.
Communities can be successful operating separately, but operating in concert with other entities creates more leverage, a bigger brand and better opportunities across the board. Cohesiveness adds more efficiency and effectiveness by utilizing fewer resources and increasing the diversity of inputs. A single brand for our region makes manufacturing stronger, our automotive industry base stronger and our total economy stronger. Together, there is not another place in the world that has the collective capability we have in manufacturing, mobility, automotive, production technology and – an affordable quality of life for our residents.
This region has a long history of resiliency, transforming itself with each transition in industrial advances. The current evolution of technology and manufacturing has brought on another rebirth. Tech and human thinking have transformed how we learn, how we live, what the market demands are, and how we create products for that market. The resiliency in Metro Detroit comes from a variety of factors. It's the ubiquitous culture of rolling up our sleeves and working harder and smarter. It is also the diversity of our population and communities – ranging from urban to rural – that yields variegated perspectives and new ways to approach success. While the connection of industry and a central geography brings us together, we still need to deliver our unique diversity under a single brand.
The numbers give a clear view of where we are now. Southeastern Michigan Economy Gaining Strength, a recent article from Drawing Detroit, shows the region's economic health in raw metrics. These numbers are giving us reason to be excited about the future. The Purchasing Manager's Index tells us that the economy in Metro Detroit is not only doing well, but in fact surging ahead.
The Purchasing Managers Index (PMI) provides a great view because it uses five indicators of economic activity: new orders, production, employment, supplier deliveries, and inventories. A PMI above 50 is indicative of an economy that is expanding. Southeast Michigan's PMI is considered strong due to a 67.2 reading in October of 2016. This reading is an increase of seven points from the prior month. It has remained above 50 since June of 2014 demonstrating the resurgence of the auto sector in the region.
As further evidence, according to the Standard and Poor's Case-Shiller Home Price Index for the Detroit Metro Statistical Area, the average price of single–family dwellings sold in Metro Detroit was $109,660 in August 2016. This is an increase from $103,750 in August of 2015, which was also an increase from $98,720 in August of 2014.
The Michigan Department of Technology, Management and Budget employment figures show another strong indicator – employment. Between September of 2015 and September of 2016, there was a total increase of 10,012 employed City of Detroit residents. In Macomband Oakland, employment levels are the highest they have been in fifteen years. People are busy and working with new energy and a fresh mindset.
Metro Detroit has adopted a permanent focus on sustainability. It has developed an increasingly diversified portfolio of emerging industries that include many of the biggest blue chip companies known worldwide along with an exciting startup culture. From the massive redevelopment of downtown Detroit to the continued growth along the Woodward corridor, from the new energy and vitality in local neighborhoods to the double-down investments in Macomb in automotive and defense.
Dan Gilbert has said, "Momentum breeds momentum and that's what we've got going here, I think the best stuff is still to come." There's a new energy downtown that reverberates throughout the region. It's not just the companies that are rethinking their position in this local, regional, and growing global economic neighborhood. It's the communities themselves that are engaging on a daily basis with each other and with employers. They are going through repurposing and revitalization to become better partners with each other. These economic dividends of connectivity are real and are the bricks that will build our bridge to the future.
With the goal of creating a new benchmark, it all equates to economic success, inclusion and quality of life in Macomb's local communities.
Although we are proud of the strength that Macomb County can bring to the table, we know that this strength should cultivate greater importance and weight in a regional context. As with each of our regional neighbors, Macomb County is anchored by a robust infrastructure and a surging capable workforce with innovative companies in the mobility, aerospace, defense, and tech industries. Macomb offers attractive community characteristics that establish it as a globally-critical location for engineering, research and development and advanced manufacturing businesses. With over 18,000 businesses, Macomb is also home to a tremendously motivated and potent entrepreneurial spirit.
A strong presence and accessibility of technical educational programs support the manufacturing sector and its associated industries – automotive, defense, robotics, materials production and medical devices. Seated at the center of the county, Macomb Community College is a partner that leads by advising, nurturing, and educating its surrounding communities and beyond.
According to Professor Jonathan Silberman, Economics and Director of Southeast Michigan Economic Data Center at Oakland University, "The Southeastern Michigan economy in 2016 continues its economic advance, growing at an annual rate of 2% led by the automotive industry. The labor market in Macomb County showed sustained strength in December 2016. Employment is up 4.1% from a year ago, and the unemployment rate of 4.8% is the lowest rate since March 2001. The employment gains are widespread across Macomb County with all cities in the county experiencing gains in 2016 with Sterling Heights and Warren both registering employment gains over 2,000."
As Christopher Leinberger, non-resident senior fellow at The Brookings Institution and former professor and founder of University of Michigan's graduate real estate development program says in Urbanizing Metro Detroit's Suburbia, "The concept of city versus suburbs: drop it. It's obsolete," followed by "We need a new lexicon." Further equating it to a baseball team, "The idea that if Northville prospers it will hurt downtown Detroit, it's counter-productive," he says. "You're wasting energy. There will be the occasional pop balls that either the shortstop or the pitcher could get, but you need to offer both kinds of products for the team to succeed."
Embracing a more connected global economy starts locally. The gains in Macomb, progress in Detroit and new developments in Oakland are stronger leveraged under a single brand or a single economic snapshot. That is our commitment – a better Macomb County that yields better things to come at home and across the region.

Covid-19 Vaccine: Pfizer's Vaccine Approved in Britain, But Why Delay in America?
December 4, 2020December 4, 2020 adminadmin 0 Comments
Covid-19 vaccine: Angry Americans want to know why Pfizer's Kovid-19 vaccine has been approved in the UK and not in the US, while all of its work, especially from the making, has been funded in the US. On Wednesday, the British health authorities said that they have approved the use of the vaccine and soon the work of delivering the most needy patients will begin. The German company BioNotech's vaccine was made in the US but first got approval in the UK.
Why is the Pfizer vaccine not approved in America yet?
American company Pfizer provided funds to develop the vaccine. In the US, the Food Drug Administration says that neither Moderna nor Pfizer will have a meeting to consider approving emergency use of the vaccine by December 10. FDA chief Stephen Han has stated that it is taking longer to approve them because it will be determined by looking at the raw data than by relying on the conclusion of the drug company.
President Donald Trump has pressured the FDA to launch the vaccine rapidly. Sources say Trump and other White House officials are angry that the vaccine has been recognized abroad before being cleared on American soil. A source says that it is foolish to imagine that the European Union or Britain can allow a vaccine developed in America?
US administration angry over delay in Kovid-19 vaccine
Doctor Han was called to explain to the White House why it is taking time to get the vaccine approved so far. He did not say anything on the question of meeting the President at the White House on Tuesday. When asked about the pressure on the vaccine from the Trump administration, he just said, "The conversation was fantastic."
He said that different groups of scientists are currently engaged in testing Pfizer's raw data. Some scientists will test the safety, other scientists will detect the effect. On December 10, scientists of all the groups will gather together to consider their conclusion and present it to the advisory council.
Han did not criticize the British authorities but suggested that the agency was taking much larger steps to test the data. Pfizer says that his vaccine is 95 percent effective and Moderna has declared his vaccine to be 94 percent safe. Another brand, AstraZeneca, has considered its vaccine to be 70 percent effective. Operation Warp is being run in the US to arrange for the manufacture and distribution of the Kovid-19 vaccine. Operation Warp Speed aims to achieve 300 million doses of the effective and safe vaccine of Kovid-19 by January 2021.

Modernizing Cambridge Technology
Cambridge Technology's (CT) unparalleled talent and commitment to customer service makes it the premier partner for customized attention and long-term success. Even as a leader in the beem-steering industry, the company needed a brand update to reflect their specialized products and collaborative services. Cambridge Technology partnered with Mower to modernize the look and feel, as well as updating all platforms the brand touches. Mower guided Cambridge Technology through every aspect of marketing, from messaging to the design of their new streamlined website.
Cambridge Technology is the established leader in photonics and the inventor of galvanometer-based scanning technology; however, legacy alone is not enough to continue moving forward. Competitors seek to press their advantages on several fronts, claiming superior engineering talent, better quality equipment or lower costs. These threats are real and credible. In addition, issues — some real, some perceived — impact Cambridge Technology's reputation in the market.
A refreshed brand is not the solution to these challenges; rather, this initiative is the outward reflection of internal changes to the organization. Updating the brand recognizes and communicates CT's renewed commitment to leading the industry, resulting from aggressive alterations made in the last two years, including an expanded product line, improved manufacturing, enhanced consultative approach to solve application engineering challenges and new talent acquisition.
Mower created a new brand identity for the Cambridge Technology logo that is immediately recognizable and an aspirational representation of the company, its people and its brand.
The color palette intentionally diverts from the dark, heavy hues of the former brand in favor of a lighter, cleaner feel. Blues and grays are dominant, which exemplify the reliability and truth that clients can expect from Cambridge Technology. The cool hues are balanced by pops of warm yellow and orange.
Cambridge Technology's new brand has been applied across all platforms. The innovation, reliability and quality they bring to the industry is represented in everything from the color palette to the PowerPoint layout. Cambridge Technology was effusive in their praise of Mower's work and its contributions to building the business.
