Minimum Car Insurance Requirements in ND
The state of North Dakota requires all motor vehicle operators to have proof of insurance available in the car at all times. It accepts both written and electronic documentation.
The minimum bodily injury liability insurance requirements in North Dakota are:
Bodily injury coverage protects you by paying for the injuries of anyone you harm in an accident. The minimum coverage limits that North Dakota state law requires are $25,000 for the injury or death of a single person involved in a car accident and $50,000 for the injury or death of multiple persons. Insurance providers list this coverage at 25/50, stating the limitations of each minimum. In an accident, liability coverage protects you up to the policy limit. Damages above the policy limit of $50,000 are your responsibility.
The minimum property damage liability insurance requirements in North Dakota are:
Property damage liability coverage pays for any property that you damage in an accident. The state of North Dakota requires $25,000 for the minimum. You'll see the collective state minimum listed at 25/50/25. The second 25 refers to the property damage liability. Once again, any damages above the $25,000 are your responsibility.
$30,000 personal injury protection (PIP) per person per accident
North Dakota is a no-fault state, so Personal Injury Protection (also called no-fault insurance) is mandatory coverage for all drivers. North Dakota PIP covers you, your immediate family, and your passengers for economic losses, medical costs, and death benefits regardless of fault. The state sets $30,000 for the minimum coverage requirements.
What happens if someone hits you, and they do not have insurance or enough insurance to pay for your damages? Consider that the Insurance Information Institute reports 6.8 percent or just over one out of fifteen, North Dakota drivers have no insurance. The state requires uninsured motorist coverage and underinsured motorist coverage:
$25,000 uninsured/underinsured motorist bodily injury per person
$50,000 uninsured/underinsured motorist bodily injury per accident
Uninsured motorist bodily injury pays your medical expenses if you're injured by a hit-and-run driver or one who has no insurance.
Underinsured motorist bodily injury pays your medical expenses if you're hit by someone who does not have high enough policy limits to cover your costs.
Fargo Car Insurance Rates by Driver Age
While insurance rates are highest for young drivers in Fargo, rates typically decline as you get older—as long as you keep a clean driving record. Because of their limited driving exposure, younger drivers pose the most risk on the road, and insurance companies charge them accordingly. The difference in insurance rates between a teen and someone in their 50s is remarkable. While teen drivers pay an average of $282 for their monthly premiums, a skilled driver in their 50s pays just $89.
50s $90

Fargo Car Insurance Rates by Driving and Accident History
Driving in North Dakota's most populous city gives motorists all the more reason to keep their eyes on the road. Costly tickets aren't the only consequence of running a red light in this town. Those who have driving violations on their record pay more for insurance than those who don't. Why? Because driving behavior is a clear indicator of risk. The higher the risk you pose, the higher your insurance rates. Drivers with no violations in Fargo pay an average of $113 per month for insurance. Drivers ticketed for running a light or who have an at-fault accident to contend with pay $145 and $158, respectively.

Fargo Car Insurance Rates by Credit Tier
Accident history and age aren't the only things that determine individual insurance rates. In most states, car insurance companies use a person's credit-based insurance score as well. Why? Studies have shown that your ability to manage money can also be an indicator of risk. How much money you have isn't a factor, and there are laws in place that prevent discrimination. In the case of credit-based insurance scores, your risk is related to things like outstanding debt, length of credit history, and whether you pay your bills on time. A driver with a good credit score in Fargo can expect to pay an average of $122 per month in car insurance premiums.

Q: .htaccess rewrite url not working I am trying to use the rewrite feature of .htaccess in order to rewrite the following url
http://just-for-testing.com/index.php?type=hello
to
http://just-for-testing.com/hello
So I have the following index.php file
<!doctype html>

<meta charset="utf-8">
<title>Untitled Document</title>

hello

And also the .htaccess file
Options -MultiViews
RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteRule ^([^\.]+)$ $1.php [NC,L]

However, it is still not working, the url is still link to
index.php?type=hello

could anyone give a help ?
Thanks

A: You misunderstand how url rewriting works.
Your rule allows you to open both pages pages:
http://just-for-testing.com/index.php?type=hello
http://just-for-testing.com/hello

Where the second one will be rewritten to the first one so that your index.php page gets processed by the server (with the query variable available) and the result gets sent to the browser.
To be able to use that, you should not use your original link in any place, but only use the new urls:
hello

The Center for Economic Development and Business Research (CEDBR), part of the W. Frank Barton School of Business at Wichita State University, collected these predictions from business professionals across Kansas following the Kansas Economic Outlook Conference on October 5, 2017. The resulting winner will be announced at next year's conference and will receive a complimentary registration to that event. Overall results of all the predictions are shown below and at www.SP500.cedbr.org.
The contestants in CEDBR's S&P 500 Prediction Challenge each gave a prediction for the value of the S&P 500 stock market index on August 31st, 2018. As of November 5th, 2017 the closing date for entries into the Challenge, the S&P 500 index was valued at 2,587. The median prediction among the contestants for the S&P 500 Index is 2,663.58 points. On average, contestants predicted that the S&P 500 will increase by 3 percent over the next ten months, after the index increased by 14.6 percent this year to date.
For the Second Annual Center for Economic Development and Business Research S&P 500 Prediction Challenge, WSU students provided predictions of the value of the S&P 500 stock market index on August 31st, 2018. As of March 1st, the closing date for entries for the challenge, the S&P 500 stock index closed at 2,677.67 index points after increasing 12.3 percent in the past year. The average prediction by the WSU students for August 31st was 2849 index points, an increase of 6 percent over six months.
Almost 70 percent of the entries forecast the index to increase in the next six months, ranging from predictions of increases of 1.4 percent to a 30.7 percent. The entries forecasting a drop in the index ranged from a 3.1 percent decline to an 11.5 percent decline. The median prediction of the students was for the index to rise 212 points in the next six months, for an increase of 7.9 percent. On average, the student entries were more bullish in their predictions for the market than analysts at major banks such as Goldman Sachs, Citibank, and Bank of America; the consensus 2018 forecast among analysts was for the market to grow approximately 4 percent over that six month period. The entry closest to the actual closing value on August 31st, 2018 will be recognized on stage at the 2018 Kansas Economic Outlook Conference on October 4th, 2018 at the Century II Convention Center in Wichita.

Star of the Show: Against the Backdrop of Pandemic, Pacific Office Automation Still Defines Greatness
In another life, Doug Pitassi would've been the host of a TV game show or perhaps "Dancing with the Stars." Relatable and genuine, self-deprecating with a touch of deadpan humor, the president and CEO of Pacific Office Automation (POA) adds a showman's touch of personality to a leadership role that often requires a larger than life persona.
Pitassi spends more than enough time dealing with the Xs and Os for a company that has scaled the office technology dealership mountain, with sales that eclipsed $365 million for 2019. He's earned the right to take a break and front the Beaverton, Oregon-headquartered firm's annual sales kickoff meeting in fine style, whether it's "parachuting" into the opening ceremony, doing his best KISS imitation or performing other popular parodies.
POA President and CEO Doug Pitassi "parachutes" into annual sales kickoff meeting
Don't be fooled, however. It's not mere entertainment; there's method behind these presentations. There's a high level of expectations that come with working for the largest dealer in the country. When the "Uncomfortable Choir" sang about getting out of the comfort zone at their annual business meeting earlier this year, there was a crystal-clear message to be absorbed. Status quo doesn't carry a company to the precipice of $400 million, and there are no sacred cows. MFP sales may keep the lights on, but managed IT, telephony and other serviced-based offerings are the path forward. And at a time when COVID-19 threw a wrench into everyone's plans, Pacific Office Automation sounded the pivot bell, sourcing personal protective equipment and temperature-reading kiosks to address the new normal clients are facing.
Full Arsenal
Founded in 1976, POA is certainly built for speed, augmented by 1,150 team members in eight states and 24 locations. The company represents virtually every major manufacturer in the industry, serving the needs of a laundry list of verticals led by health care, legal, education, government and SMB. Beyond MFPs, copiers, IT and phones, the company offers wide-format and production printers, scanners and faxes, security cameras, visual communications (video conferencing, interactive whiteboards), shipping and mailing, to name a few. Managed services (print and IT), data security and software are also a significant aspect of POA's arsenal. The company's "relationship wheel" ensures sales reps walk clients and prospects through the complete breadth of its offerings.
We sat down with Pitassi to learn how COVID-19 has impacted business and POA's approach, and to get a sense of the opportunities the market will bear as the country navigates the pandemic and embarks on returning to some sense of normalcy.
How was business in 2019? What were the keys that dictated your success?
Pitassi: It's interesting, because we had growth in every category across four different regions. Displacement is an important strategy, because we're in an industry in which print is flat to declining. That doesn't apply to large-format printing or high-end production, and not necessarily printers under contract. The growth has to be by retention of the client and adding more customers at a higher rate.
We had a lot of new takedowns; we added 11,000 printers under contract, which is up from the previous year. We call it relationship sales, and what we track is how many services our salespeople sell into beyond copiers and printers. Whether it's telephony, IT services, mailing, high-end production, software-as-a-service, or security, we focus on the relationship and sell within the client. Our IT business represented about $29 million of our overall revenue. That includes unified communications, a part of our business that is growing in 2020 as well. Even though it's a small portion of the overall revenue, it's still very encouraging.
What sets POA apart from the competition?
Pitassi: There's nothing really magical about POA; I wish I could say we have some secret sauce. But I think we have honor in work. We wake up early, work a full day and want to outwork our competitors. Our true competition is really growth; if we can grow, we're winning. Our people are very prideful about that aspect. Personally, I learn a lot from other dealers and their experiences. While people may view other dealers as competition there really is a strong network of collaboration which has assisted POA immensely. That collaboration is more important than ever in light of the events occurring in 2020.
So if there's no "secret sauce," what catapulted POA to the top of the sales ladder?
Pitassi: Organic growth is much bigger and much healthier (than acquisition growth), in my opinion. We see what is happening in our industry, and the growing private equity. They're growing with that money, and it enables them to grow quite quickly. At POA, we're conservative in our approach to growth. We try to grow by winning the business inside a territory. We'll grow by one acquisition a year and it won't be a big company. But you need a market foundation. We're not currently in Sacramento, San Diego, Las Vegas or Reno. There are some cities that make sense for us, so finding a dealer to acquire—with trained technicians and a local understanding of business—can provide that infrastructure. But overall, we're much more geared toward organic growth than acquisition.
You enjoy spicing up POA's sales kickoff meetings with memorable, out-of-the-ordinary opening performances. What was the catalyst behind it?
Pitassi: Motivating people is one part of it. But it's important for people to feel as if they're part of something bigger than any one person, group or market. There is always room for improvement, but I'm very excited about POA and the pure pride and loyalty surrounding what we have built. POA has created something that's pretty cool. I want to motivate people and articulate to them continually that we're a business that provides for our families, provides for our extended families and provides for the community. If we can be good in all aspects of that, then we absolutely matter.

It's not about how many copiers we sell. It helps to sell copiers, but that in itself is kind of boring. Who wants to talk about copiers and printers? There's not a lot of sizzle. It's really important to articulate success, and do it in a way that's a lot of fun. We like to celebrate our success and kick off our goals in fine fashion, so that everybody understands expectations. Everyone understands their role as part of a team. It's also important to brand your culture. It defines who we are, what we do and how we do it. We have 10 culture words, including accountability, passion and trust—all terms that mean something to us.
During your sales kickoff at the start of the year, the topic of conversation was the drive toward the $400 million mark. Tell us about your business in the three-month lead-up to COVID-19, and how you've readjusted goal setting.
Pitassi: The kickoff meetings play a huge role in starting off the year on the right foot. We review the previous year, talk about successes, and kick off our goals for the New Year. Our 2020 goal was "Take the Leap," to figure out how to get to the $400 million mark. The January and February run rate had us on track for that goal, but that's not going to happen now.
POA Founder Terry Newsom (center, holding plaque) is surrounded by new employees who have just completed their sales training
In March, when the virus happened…it challenged all aspects of everyone's personal and professional state of mind. I have a lot of sympathy for people and what they're going through due to the pandemic, and POA is trying to be understanding and supportive. But on the other side, though, we're working hard to maintain the business, which goes back to us providing for so many people and their families. We've refocused on selling during a pandemic, and we got aggressive about promotions and helped a lot of clients with refinancing their current contracts. We brought on new products that might help clients get through what could well be a prolonged ordeal. I think this new normal is going to be with us for a while. I feel strongly that companies will embrace some of the technologies that we're selling.
Tell us a little about some of these products you've pivoted to, from temperature-scanning kiosks to hand sanitizer and personal protective equipment.
Pitassi: A key word we have tried to instill in our staff during the pandemic is offset, and that ties into the other products POA has pivoted to. We believe in, and want businesses to think of, POA as an all-encompassing office equipment solutions and service provider. Whether that be a copier or, in these days, the equipment and services a business will require in order to now operate under the current circumstances. With that in mind, POA has added temperature-scanning kiosks, personal protective equipment, back-to-work safety kits and additional home office solution packages.
Drummer Doug Pitassi and the rest of The Denominators jam during the Morrison Child and Family Services bike race
The temperature kiosk is just one way of helping offices reduce the risk. This is relevant to all businesses when they are determining how best to welcome back their workforce safely, but it is especially relevant to the hospitality business, assisted living/nursing homes and health care facilities. We're seeing some pretty good success right out of the gate. There are a lot of technologies that use different methods for taking a temperature. We're not sure what direction it might go, but we're invested in it. We have to be ready to see how the market shakes out.
We'll also be rolling out personal, back-to-work safety kits—large, medium and small—that include many different types of PPE in them. But again, it's all about that word, offset. Our people who were selling chargeable supplies, such as toner, are also selling gloves, disposable face masks, hand sanitizer, those types of things. Customers are appreciative that we can get them the supplies they need, and I think it could be a reorder business.
As you have facilities in eight states, each of which have various phased-in degrees of business resumption, tell us a little about your coordination initiatives and efforts to get back to some semblance of normal.
Pitassi: This is a big challenge for all of us. Health and safety always come first at POA, and there are a lot of mixed feelings about the threat of the virus. Part of the challenge we face is that there are positions in our company—technical staff, deliver drivers, warehouse—where we are supporting essential businesses. So, the thought process cannot just be about how we make our own buildings safe, but also how we protect our employees when they are visiting a customer's location. We created an internal task force, and trained employees on the best practices and taking precaution, including producing a training video on technician safety precautions.
POA hosted a competition for Arizona State University students who are interested in going into sales. The winners are given checks and offered a paid internship at POA
For employee positions that may not rely on coming into a POA office, we've left it up to the employee. Whether it's a salesperson, a contract biller or an IT support desk person, all of these jobs are working from home company-wide. We have to balance two things. One, for anybody with pre-existing conditions that could put them at a higher risk, we want to work with them on their entry back into the office when it makes sense for them to return. The second part, it's currently a personal choice for employees. That could change by market. It could be that in a few months, we will say that if you're a sales person, we want you back in the office. But we're not there yet, and I'm going to hold out as long as I can. As long as we're productive, we can continue to assess the health and safety risk factor. We know that ultimate return date is a moving target. I don't know if it's two weeks, two months or 10 months from now, but there will be a day when most people will need to come back to work.
Considering the experiences of the past two months and the aftermath of COVID-19, what might your playbook for 2021 encompass?
Pitassi: As a dealer, you can either stay put and be a victim to what has happened because of COVID-19, or you can finally pivot to the other services, such as IT, telephony, etc. This business is 10 times the opportunity of print and copy. We're in the infancy of the IT world, and this just forces us to get into that business at a much higher level. So, 2021 for me is going to drill down to the territory level, determine what we might have lost in services from print and copy, and seek to get it back by selling the other services.
"You wanted the best, you've got the best!" Doug Pitassi and his KISS crew entertain the sales kickoff
If a portion of billing is by usage, you're going to have a pretty big downturn. As the volume comes back, will it return to 100% of what it was in terms of print and copy, which is the core part of our business? I don't think so. By July 1, I'm estimating a 20% downturn. It's just a math problem. The service part, our aftermarket, is a monthly recurring number. It's broken down into revenue and profitability. I want to drill it down to the field level, to the rep. They need to determine how much their revenues are down, and then we need to devise a six-, 12- or 18-month goal of getting back to the rep's previous revenues. So, whatever the downturn, we need to incent our sales team to sell services.
The Uncomfortable Choir preaches the virtues of stepping outside of one's comfort zone
Prior to COVID-19, as the trend of prints per machine were challenged and became flatter, we wanted to replace that revenue by offering other services. Now, COVID-19 caused (the decline) to be abrupt, so we need to be just as abrupt in pivoting to other services. I think we'll be back fine in 2021. The scary thing is, will we have another outbreak in a bigger way, from November through January? That's my biggest concern.
What does "getting out of your comfort zone" mean to your employees and POA?
Pitassi: It is an interesting thought process, but it's tough to do. It's challenging people to do the uncomfortable, and making that the habit. If I only sell to mid-sized companies, I don't sell any big deals. Or "I only sell copiers, I don't sell IT." Technicians that are break/fix have to pivot to fixing computers. These are self-imposed boundaries that a person refuses to push past. In the comfort zone, fear is the first obstacle. Once you get past fear, there is the learning zone and the growth zone. Complacency is a big part of it. A lot of people are in their comfort zone because they don't want to take the chance, they don't have the confidence. Maybe they don't want to be a manager or don't think they could be one. Our "Uncomfortable Choir" did a great job of articulating that in their performance at this year's sales kickoff.
Doug Pitassi (right) and his executive team will go to any offbeat lengths to deliver a message to employees
Do you anticipate being active in the M&A landscape in the near term?
Pitassi: As mentioned earlier, POA believes in organic growth over time. COVID-19 will thrust some companies that don't pivot and change technology into a tough spot. Frankly, they might be challenged losing the services that were paying the bills, prompting many companies to sell. I think there are going to be opportunities there, and POA will examine those closely while still adhering to our focus on organic growth.
Post-acquisition, do you rebrand companies to POA?
Pitassi: It's all subject to the situation. Some will benefit greatly from us putting some structure in, that POA flavor. We also like decentralization and allowing companies to have autonomy. For example, in Idaho Falls, we still answer the phone as Yost, because the local community identifies with that name. So we're open to being flexible with the branding. With some acquisitions, we insert our culture and expectations in a strong way on day one. But if something is working, there's no reason to break it.
Doug Pitassi, the executive team and the Uncomfortable Choir "testify" to the audience at a sales kickoff meeting performance
What do you like most about your job?
Pitassi: I like developing and mentoring hard-working people and being an ingredient in their success. It's gratifying seeing them flourish, whether that is financially, career related or personal success and growth. It's all about the development of people in a career and not a job. It's a huge reward for me to see people succeed in life.
POA sponsored a bike race hosted by Morrison Child and Family Services
Outside of work, what do you do for fun?
Pitassi: I'm a wannabe drummer and play in a rock-and-roll band called The Denominators. We play classic rock cover songs. I'm good in my own mind, but I'm the lowest common denominator. If you put a band of really talented people around you, you can actually be pretty good. I'm having a lot of fun. I have to hire myself because sometimes we don't get any gigs, but that's OK. I love to play.
I have one grandson, Mason, and it's all about him. He just had his second birthday, and it's so fun being a grandparent. He's the best.

The Ministry of Justice of Azerbaijan is preparing to use blockchain technologies and SMART contracts in the housing and utilities sector, the Chairman of the Azerbaijani Internet Forum (AMF) Osman Gunduz told Trend Oct. 30.
Gunduz noted that a meeting was organized Oct. 30, where information was provided about systems and electronic services provided by various structural units of the ministry.
"The agency currently provides over 30 electronic services, and also there are about 15 information systems and registries. The registers of "electronic notary", "electronic courts", penitentiary service, the information systems of non-governmental organizations, the register of population, etc. can be mentioned. The planned project entitled as "Mobile notary office", which provides for the accumulation of all notarial documents in one case, has seemed interesting," Gunduz said.
The chairman of the AMF noted that the ministry's plans include, among other things, the implementation of a project related to notarization of an electronic document.
"Especially the fact that the ministry is interested in the introduction of the blockchain technology attracted attention. It was announced that in the future, the SMART contracts will be introduced in the field of public utilities (water, gas and electricity supply). That is, this refers to the switch-over of existing contracts of citizens for utility services to SMART-contracts, which will ensure transparency and will allow to suppress the cases of falsification in this area. The citizens themselves will be able to independently control all these processes," Gunduz said.
In world practice, the chairman of the AMF said, the blockchain technologies is successfully used wherever a registry is formed.
Most of the services of the Ministry of Justice (registries and databases of the population) are based just on such technologies, the chairman added.
Gunduz noted that there are industries where the use of blockchain technology is particularly important.
"This refers to "electronic courts". So far, the work in this direction is very weak. Taking into consideration that the project itself has been implemented for almost five years, nevertheless the e-government is used in just a few judicial instances yet. According to my estimates, even more support is needed here. As for notarial institutions, a certain progress is observed here. For example, the extracts from the register related to real estate have already been integrated into the online environment," Gunduz said.

High levels of iron in the brain could increase the risk of developing Alzheimer's disease and hasten the cognitive decline that comes with it, new research suggests.
The results of the study, which tracked the brain degeneration of people with Alzheimer's over a seven-year period, suggest it might be possible to halt the disease with drugs that reduce iron levels in the brain.
"We think that iron is contributing to the disease progression of Alzheimer's disease," neuroscientist Scott Ayton, from the University of Melbourne in Australia, told Anna Salleh at ABC Science.
"This is strong evidence to base a clinical trial on lowering iron content in the brain to see if that would impart a cognitive benefit."
Alzheimer's is a devastating disease that researchers suspect "begins when two abnormal protein fragments, known as plaques and tangles, accumulate in the brain and start killing our brain cells," explains Fiona Macdonald for ScienceAlert.
It starts by destroying the hippocampus – the region of the brain where memories are formed and stored – and eventually damages the region where language is processed, making it difficult for advanced Alzheimer's patients to communication. As the disease's gradual takeover continues, people lose the ability to regulate their emotions and behaviour, and to make sense of the world around them.
But previous studies have shown that people with Alzheimer's disease also have elevated levels of brain iron, which may also be a risk factor for the disease.
"There has been debate for a long period of time whether this is important or whether it's just a coincidence," Ayton told ABC Science.
The long-term impact of elevated iron levels on the disease outcome has not been investigated, the researchers say.
So Ayton's team decided to test this, examining the link between brain iron levels and cognitive decline in three groups of people over seven years. The participants included 91 people with normal cognition, 144 people with mild cognitive impairment, and 67 people with diagnosed Alzheimer's disease.
At the beginning of the study, the researchers determined the patients' brain iron levels by measuring the amount of ferritin in the cerebrospinal fluid around the brain. Ferritin is a protein that stores and releases iron.
The researchers did regular tests and MRI scans to track cognitive decline and changes in the brain over the study period.
They found that people with higher levels of ferritin – in all groups – had faster declines in cognitive abilities and accelerated shrinking of the hippocampus. Levels of ferritin were also a linked to a greater likelihood of people with mild cognitive impairment developing Alzheimer's.
Their data contained some other interesting takeaways: The researchers found higher levels of ferritin corresponded to earlier ages for diagnoses – roughly three months for every 1 nanogram per millilitre increase.
They also found that people with the APOE-e4 gene variant, which is known to be the strongest genetic risk factor for the disease, had the highest levels of iron in their brains.
This suggests that APOE-e4 may be increasing Alzheimer's disease risk by increasing iron levels in the brain, Ayton told ABC Science.
The researchers say their findings, which were published in the journal Nature Communications, justify the revival of clinical trials to explore drugs to target brain iron levels.
In a study carried out 24 years ago, a drug called deferiprone halved the rate of Alzheimer's cognitive decline, Ayton told Clare Wilson at NewScientist. "Perhaps it's time to refocus the field on looking at iron as a target."
"Lowering CSF ferritin, as might be expected from a drug like deferiprone, could conceivably delay mild cognitive impairment conversion to Alzheimer's disease by as much as three years," the team wrote.

Protein Treatment Staves Off Alzheimer's Disease Symptoms
Posted by Trevor K on April 14, 2015
Protein Treats Alzheimer's Disease
Alzheimer's disease is the sixth leading cause of death in the United States, with over 1,200 individuals developing the disease every day. A new paper in the Journal of Neuroscience from lead author Dena Dubal of the University of California, San Francisco describes how manipulating levels of a protein associated with memory can stave off Alzheimer's symptoms, even in the presence of the disease-causing toxins.
Klotho is a transmembrane protein associated with longevity. The body makes less of this protein over time, and low levels of klotho is connected to a number of diseases including osteoporosis, heart disease, increased risk of stroke, and decreased cognitive function. These factors lead to diminished quality of life and even early death.
Previous research has shown that increasing klotho levels in healthy mice leads to increased cognitive function. This current paper from Dubal's team builds on that research by increasing klotho in mice who are also expressing large amounts of amyloid-beta and tau, proteins that are associated with the onset of Alzheimer's disease. Remarkably, even with high levels of these toxic, disease-causing proteins, the mice with elevated klotho levels were able to retain their cognitive function.
"It's remarkable that we can improve cognition in a diseased brain despite the fact that it's riddled with toxins," Dubal said in a press release. "In addition to making healthy mice smarter, we can make the brain resistant to Alzheimer-related toxicity. Without having to target the complex disease itself, we can provide greater resilience and boost brain functions."
The mechanism behind this cognitive preservation appears to be klotho interacting with a glutamate receptor called NMDA, which is critically important to synaptic transmission, thus influencing learning, memory, and executive function. Alzheimer's disease typically damages these receptors, but the mice with elevated klotho were able to retain both NMDA function and cognition. Part of the success also appears to be due to the preservation of the NMDA subunit GluN2B, which existed in significantly larger numbers than the control mice. The mechanism and the results of this study will need to be investigated further before developing it into a possible treatment for humans in the future.
"The next step will be to identify and test drugs that can elevate klotho or mimic its effects on the brain," added senior author Lennart Mucke from Gladstone Institutes. "We are encouraged in this regard by the strong similarities we found between klotho's effects in humans and mice in our earlier study. We think this provides good support for pursuing klotho as a potential drug target to treat cognitive disorders in humans, including Alzheimer's disease."

Alzheimer's as Type 3 diabetes
Posted by Trevor K on September 20, 2012
Alzheimer's could be reclassified as Type 3 diabetes:
Alzheimer's could be reclassified as Type 3 diabetes
Growing evidence that Alzheimer's is primarily a metabolic disease has led some researchers to propose reclassifying it as Type 3 diabetes, according to the Guardian. Such a revelation could have profound implications on the role that the junk food industry plays in causing Alzheimer's. Today an estimated 35 million people suffer from Alzheimer's disease around the world, and as many as 346 million people suffer from diabetes. Both numbers are expected to rise exponentially over the next several decades — rises that also happen to be correlated with increasing obesity rates. The correlation is so uncanny that many scientists are investigating a causal relationship between all three epidemics, with staggering results. Type 2 diabetes has already been strongly linked with obesity and diet as well as with dementia and Alzheimer's. For instance, Type 2 sufferers are two to three times more likely to get Alzheimer's than the general population. The link between Alzheimer's and obesity has been studied less, but a growing cacophony of research is filling that gap. For instance, studies have strongly linked midlife obesity to Alzheimer's. Fitness and a better diet have also been linked to a decreased occurrence of dementia. Now new studies are suggesting a link even more profound: that Alzheimer's may be caused directly by the brain's impaired response to insulin. A 2005 report found that levels of both insulin and insulin-like growth factors in the brains of Alzheimer's patients were lower than normal, with the lowest levels being found in the brain regions most devastated by the disease. Meanwhile, a report released just last year found that an insulin spray helped improve memory skills in people with Alzheimer's. Insulin has a well-defined role in the brain's chemistry. It helps regulate the transmission of signals between neurons. It's not difficult to begin connecting the dots at this point. A causal relationship between Alzheimer's and the brain's insulin regulation isn't difficult to imagine and detail. Of course, more research needs to be done to know for sure, but if Alzheimer's and other kinds of dementia are proven to be another form of diabetes, then the obesity epidemic — and the junk food industry that fuels it — could have consequences on public health that are even more profound than previously realized.

This guide provides information on the reasons many men are sensitive to their deodorants. We look at the chemical ingredients in many high street men's antiperspirants and deodorants which can cause irritation and at the organic men's deodorants free from these ingredients.
Green People for Men offers 2 roll-on deodorants which have strong and effective antibacterial properties, derived from natural ingredients like Potassium alum, Zinc ricinoleate derived from castor oil, and essential oils.
These offer natural control of body odour without suppressing the vital function of perspiration.
Sensitive to conventional men's deodorants?
Our natural and organic men's deodorants are ideal if you have sensitive skin as they do not contain any harsh, irritating ingredients.
Many men can find that they are sensitive to high street brands of deodorant or antiperspirant, suffering red, itchy, irritated or stinging armpits. Armpits are also a particular hotspot for eczema, leaving those affected needing a gentle deodorant suitable for eczema.
Aerosol antiperspirants are a particular risk for those with sensitive skin, as they often contain highly volatile chemicals that have potential for irritation.
" Aerosol antiperspirants are a particular risk for those with sensitive skin. "
The first is aluminium chlorohydrate (or aluminium zirconium chlorohydrate), which in fact is used in antiperspirants rather than deodorants. It is this ingredient which stops you sweating.
It works by reacting with the protein molecules present in perspiration, entering the pores in your skin and turning into a gel. This blocks the pores and stops sweat from being secreted.
These ingredients are known to cause contact dermatitis in people with sensitive skin and have also been linked with other health risks.
Many men's deodorants are strongly scented with artificial fragrances. These are often labelled 'parfum' on the label but actually consist of a complex blend of chemicals, many of which may cause reactions in individuals with sensitive skin.
Fragrance allergies affect around 4% of the population and research from Denmark shows that men are particularly likely to suffer an allergy to the fragrance in their deodorant.
The last ingredient used in men's deodorants which can cause sensitivity is alcohol (ethyl alcohol/ethanol). This strong irritant is often added to deodorants but can be drying to the delicate skin on your underarm and may lead to reactions.
Our customer care team is happy to help with any questions you may have about our organic men's deodorants. Please call us on 01403 740350 or leave a comment or question below.

Marvel Studios' Days of Lying to Fans Are Over Thanks to New Court Ruling
Misleading trailers no more.
By Bri Constantino

We've long established that the Marvel Cinematic Universe is one colossal hype machine and since its inception, it has consistently piqued the interest of fans. On the other hand, however, Kevin Feige's billion-dollar empire has also been notorious for misleading many folks over the years through the theatrical trailers they've released.
Credit: Sony Pictures
A prime example is 2018's Avengers: Infinity War where the trailer blatantly tricked fans into believing that Hulk was part of the blockbuster's final battle when it was just Bruce Banner utilizing Tony Stark's Hulkbuster armor.
One of the more recent occurrences of the studio "lying" to the MCU fandom is through Spider-Man: No Way Home's first official trailer which edited out Tobey Maguire and Andrew Garfield's massive cameos. Now, it looks like their days of misleading fans are over, thanks to a new court ruling.
As per a report from Variety, film outfits can now be legally sued for false advertising and presenting deceptive material about the appearances of actors in a movie trailer. The new court ruling came from U.S. District Judge Stephen Wilson.
This is in relation to a 2019 lawsuit filed against Universal regarding the trailer for the film Yesterday. The Beatles-inspired flick's theatrical teasers originally featured Ana de Armas in them but the then-rising star was nowhere to be found in the film's actual final cut, leaving many quite dismayed.

Of course, Marvel Studios can easily dodge any form of trouble this new ruling might bring by presenting more accurate trailers compared to their previous practices. And let's be real here, we'd rather see a film trailer that is straight to the point than something that will end up getting all of us disappointed.
Meanwhile, the MCU's Phase Five opener, Ant-Man and The Wasp: Quantumania hits cinemas on February 17, 2023.

Burnt and damaged houses, traces of artillery shells and bullet ricochets on the walls of the buildings that line the streets of Karaleti in South Ossetia since August 2008, when Russia invaded the village.
behind – those who could not or would not leave their houses. Although the residents of Karaleti returned to their homes soon after the brief armed conflict, they now face extreme social and economic hardship.
Four year-old Christine Sukhitashvili, with her eleven-year-old sister, lives in Karaleti, in a cottage that turns out to be too small to accommodate a family of six. That is a reason why grandparents decided to live next to the cottage, in a burnt house of their own, damaged during the war. They started repairing the house with the money allocated by the State – USD 10 000, but with that sum they could repair only a single room: the kitchen, where the elderly couple now lives.
There are numerous issues that the inhabitants of Karaleti now face. "Unemployment is the main problem for the village. It is next to impossible to find a job", Christine's mother, 32-year-old Tamar Chokhrokize remarks. She is unemployed. Her husband has an occasional job at a market in Tbilisi, but this work is unstable. The actual income for the family is the grandmother's salary. She works at a bakery.
44-year-old Venera Baduashvili left her house during the war. To her disbelief Ossetian soldiers burned only her car while she was away. "I was watching CNN when I suddenly saw our inflamed car. Then in the background I saw our house that was still standing. 'We are saved!' I shouted. The house was not damaged." She returned home, but soon after her husband's health quickly deteriorated and he died because of the lack of the means to treat him appropriately. She is now the only person who supports her family financially by working at a church, receiving GEL 30 per month.
"These people cannot yet adapt to their new lives, different environment, which is unusual for them - with no cattle or fruit gardens that used to make their living before the war broke out. Now the source of income for many of these people is the State assistance for each refugee family amounting to GEL 22 a month", Nona Kurdovanidze, a member of Georgian Young Lawyers' Association says, "And it is the Government's obligation to assist them in integration".
Koba Subeliani, Minister of Internally Displaced Persons (IDP) from the Occupied Territories, Accommodation and Refugees of Georgia, explains to Georgian Journal: "We have a strategy regarding the matter. Now, when 25 000 refugee families are provided with permanent accommodation and decent living conditions, we started to work on making these people self-employed and thus lessening their dependence on state assistance. That is why we supply them with different goods from apple seedlings to cattle".
The policy of self-employment coincides with the action plan 2011 of UN High Commission for Refugees (UNHCR), which states: "Regarding the IDPs, UNHCR will shift from providing direct assistance, such as shelter construction and income-generating activities, to protection monitoring, advocacy and standard setting".
"Our Ministry along with international donors and partners exert everyday efforts to improve the living condition of the people who have suffered as a result of the war", Koba Subeliani stresses.
Furthermore, the final verdict shall be announced by the European Court of Human Rights, where Georgia accuses Russia of ethnic oppression, inhumane treatment, violation of children's rights and all other European regulations. Georgia is in anticipation while thousands of Georgian refugees are trying to build new lives.

A £50m rescue package offered by the Premier League to clubs in the bottom tiers of the EFL has been rejected
ByLuke Cawdell

The Premier League rescue package offered to Gillingham and others in the bottom two divisions of the Football League isn't enough, says the EFL.
A package worth £50m, made up of grants and interest-free loans "falls some way short" of what the EFL and their member clubs need to survive.

That proposed package was on top of £27.2m solidarity payments already advanced to League 1 and 2 clubs this year, making a total of £77.2m.
The 20 Premier League clubs had agreed a rescue package to help the likes of Gillingham, having come under pressure to help out those in the lower-leagues who are struggling without gate receipts, both from the end of last season and the current campaign. The government made it clear they felt the PL should be the ones offering a bailout rather than coming from public funds.
Following a meeting of the 72 clubs below the Premier League on Thursday, the offer was rejected and a statement from the EFL released.
It said: "The need for continued unity across the membership base was fundamental to discussions across all three divisions, and therefore there was a strong consensus that any rescue package must meet the requirements of all 72 clubs before it can be considered in full.

"The League has been very clear in its discussions of the financial requirements needed to address lost gate receipts in 2019/20 and 2020/21, and while EFL clubs are appreciative that a formal proposal has now been put forward, the conditional offer of £50million falls some way short of this.
"The EFL is keen to continue discussions with the Premier League to reach an agreeable solution that will address the short-term financial needs of all of our clubs and allow us the ability to consider the longer-term economic issues in parallel that specifically look to achieve a more sustainable EFL for the future."

10 Life-Changing Days in Korea. Welcome to Mosaic.
"The Mosaic Tour will be one of the most memorable times of your life. Go for it!"
The Mosaic and Mosaic Hapa Tours bring adult adoptees back to Korea for 10-day tours to learn about their roots, research their past, and discover more about themselves through meaningful connections with Korean people and communities. The purpose of each tour is to help adult adoptees "fill in the blanks" in their own cultural and personal history by exploring Korea through its people.
The Mosaic Tour includes an afternoon with a Korean host family, teaching a cultural lesson at a Korean elementary school, community service alongside the Angels' Haven orphanage, along with other unique cultural experiences based in Seoul, Paju, and the city of Pohang.
With similar activities, the Mosaic Hapa Tour has a unique focus on the historical and social context surrounding the overseas adoption of thousands of mixed-race children, and interaction with Korean people who welcome Hapa adoptees with an open heart.
Importantly, each tour provides the opportunity to visit a "meaningful place" for each adoptee, which could be a birthplace, orphanage, or place where the adoptee was found. Each piece of information and history enables the adoptee participants to add tiles to their own colorful mosaics, which continue to be beautiful works in progress.

Shura Kitata Tola and Vivian Cheruiyot take Frankfurt Marathon titles, sub 2:10 debut for Welshman Dewi Griffiths
Shura Kitata Tola of Ethiopia and Kenya's Vivian Cheryuiot won the top prizes at the 36th edition of the Mainova Frankfurt Marathon. Kitata chopped almost two minutes off his personal best in difficult conditions while Cheruiyot, the reigning Olympic 5,000m champion but now concentrating on road racing, improved her best for the marathon to 2:23:35 after her distance debut in London this April. Kitata ran 2:05:50 to win the men's title and his compatriots Kelkile Gezahegn (2:06:56) and Getu Feleke (2:07:46) ensured a clean sweep for Ethiopia. The Ethiopians Yebrgual Melese (2:24:30) and Meskerem Assefa (2:24:38) finished second and third behind Cheruiyot in the women's race. The women's champion had been on course to improve the course record of 2:21:01 but was slowed by strong winds in the closing stages.
Frankfurt Marathon plans to turn up the heat
The Mainova Frankfurt Marathon has been a springboard for a number of promising marathon runners in the past. The most prominent example is Wilson Kipsang, who won in Frankfurt with 2:04:57 in 2010 and then returned a year later, missing the world record by only four seconds and his time 2:03:42 remains the course record to this day. Two years later Kipsang broke the world record in Berlin. Back in 2008 Robert K. Cheruiyot came to Frankfurt to run his first race outside Kenya. He broke the course record with 2:07:21 and then won the Boston Marathon with a course record of 2:05:52 in 2010. "The Mainova Frankfurt Marathon is an immersion heater for elite athletes," said Race Director Jo Schindler during a press conference before the 36th edition on Sunday.
VIDEO: Vivian Cheruiyot eyes fast race in Frankfurt
Vivian Cheruiyot is ready to run fast in Sunday's Mainova Frankfurt Marathon. "I am grateful to have been invited to run my second marathon in Frankfurt," said the reigning 5,000 m Olympic Champion during a press conference in Frankfurt on Thursday. "I have prepared for this race for three months and my shape is the same as it was before my debut in London in April. My aim is to run a personal best. I know that this is a fast course and I believe that Frankfurt provided the best opportunity for me this autumn. I go into the race with a good feeling." When she ran her debut in London Vivian Cheruiyot placed fourth with 2:23:50.

Mainova Frankfurt Marathon on October 29: Getu Feleke and Feyse Tadese added to elite field
Getu Feleke is top of the charts in build-up for Frankfurt - Getu Feleke is the man with the fastest credentials going into the Mainova Frankfurt Marathon on October 29. The 30-year-old Ethiopian has a highly impressive best of 2:04:50 and also ran a superb course record of 2:05:41 in the 2014 Vienna City Marathon. His compatriot Feyse Tadese is the fastest starter in the women's field with the world class time of 2:20:27. The Mainova Frankfurt Marathon has been adding to its elite field in recent weeks and the full field has now been announced. In total the organizers expect around 14,500 participants for this IAAF Gold Label Road Race.
Nationwide Children's Hospital Columbus Marathon & ½ Marathon
Following were highlights of the day:
* Approximately $1.2 million AND COUNTING was raised for Nationwide Children's Hospital during the 2017 event; for a total of approximately $7 million raised since the partnership with the event started in 2012;
* Last year's female ½ marathon winner, Susan Jerotich, had a repeat win, but in the full marathon
* A field of approximately 18,000 participated from 47 different states and several countries
* 24 Nationwide Children's Hospital Patient Champions and their families were along 24 miles; one mile was the Angel Mile and was dedicated to the angels of Nationwide Children's who have already run their race; and one mile was the Encore Mile for the more than 100 Patient Champions from previous races.
Galen Rupp takes the Chicago Marathon with precision
Galen Rupp wanted to be "invisible" in the race until after 22 miles. "And in the last four miles, you know, anything can happen."
And it did.
Between 35 kilometers and 40 kilometers, Galen Rupp took the field apart. The early pace was modest, as the field hit the half marathon in 1:06:11. The men just spent too much time watching each other and not enough trying to break the key players. Galen Rupp purposely did not lead early in the race. His attitude was as if this were a championship event, and for Galen Rupp, winning a World Marathon Major event was, and is a championship event.
Lots can go wrong over 26.2 miles. If one prepares with precision, then, one cuts down the number of things that can go wrong. Galen Rupp told us about a 25 mile run where he ran the first 20 at good pace and the final five at 4:30 per mile pace. "That gave me great confidence," noted Galen Rupp in the post race conference.
The 35th kilometer was run in 2:50, and the field of ten dropped to four, with Rupp, Lemma, Sambu and Kirui. Then, the race got intense. It was beautiful to watch.
As Abel Kirui, two time World champion, defending Chicago Champ, tried to control the race, Galen Rupp felt his opportunity. A 4:31 mile was followed by a 4:30 mile, which had been preceeded by a 4:36 mile. That 5k of 14:25 was the fastest in history on the course.
Galen Rupp ran his fastest kilometer, between 40-41 kilometers, with a blistering 2:38, and he ran to his first marathon win!
Galen Rupp was the first American male to win the Chicago Marathon since 2002! He has also won his first World Marathon Major in a exciting finish!
Now, it's off to the Field Museum for the Rupp family to check out some dinosaur bones.
Bank of America Chicago Marathon 2017
Reflections on Jordan Hasay & Her Race Well Run in Chicago
The 2:20:57 run by Jordan Hasay in Chicago on Sunday, October 8, 2017 was historic. Jordan Hasay ran 2:23:00 in her marathon debut and shocked many. Truth is this, Jordan Hasay was made for the marathon, and Alberto Salzar knew that. Jordan Hasay is one of the guttiest runners I have ever seen, and she does not give an inch. In college racing she had great races and not so great races. She was not a happy camper when she did not do well, but that is okay.
As a professional athlete, Jordan raced over 5k and 10k, and she battled in every race. In 2016, she began her evolution into road running, but one wonders if that was Alberto Salazar's plan for the entire time.
In Houston in January 2017, Jordan ran 1:08:45 and opened many eyes. Her build up to Boston continued and her run there was flawless. I was happy to see her focus at the end of the race, against the world's best, and her gutty finish. And then, her summer of training prior to Bank of America Chicago Marathon.
Jordan Hasay is one of the kindest athletes to interview. She thanks media for their support of her story. She speaks well and thoughtfully.
But remember this, Jordan Hasay is a marathon gladiator. In the fine line of Joan Benoit Samuelson, Deena Kastor, Kara Goucher, Tirunesh Dibaba, Mary Keitany and Edna Kiplagat, these women dig in and fight for each and every meter. I recall running the 1980 Cascade Run Off, and getting absolutely dusted over the last 3k by Lorraine Moller, who gave the guys with her a lesson in downhill running, cranking 5:08 and 5:05. It opened my mind to just how amazing women distance runners were and are.
Jordan Hasay showed guts running 2:18:20 pace through half way, with Tirunesh Dibaba, who is moving her focus from the track the roads, in the lead. Jordan ran 2:20:57, the finest time by an American woman ever in North America, and breaking Joan Benoit Samuelson's 1985 American course record of 2:21:21.
What is Jordan Hasay's secret? Her amazing focus, her beliefs in herself? her support structure?
Jordan's Instagram account shows the detailed workouts that Jordan and Galen [Rupp] did for this race. That attention to detail, the core work, the long runs, the long temp runs, the work on the track all summer long gives these athletes a quiet confidence that they have done EVERYTHING to prepare for the race.
Jordan Hasay was happy and confident in her presser post race.
She has many more great races to run!

Anton Bruckner 'Symphony No. 7': For 'The Master'
Published by Alex Burns on 2nd January 2019 2nd January 2019
Anton Bruckner: Symphony No. 7
Anton Bruckner (1824-1896) composed his ever-popular Seventh Symphony between the years 1881-1883. It was then subject to further revisions in 1885. The premiere was given by the Gewandhaus Orchestra under the baton of Arthur Nikisch in Lepizig in December 1884. The symphony bought the composer great success, and at the age of sixty, this was the most public fame that Bruckner had experienced. The standing ovations that followed the finale movement of the Seventh Symphony reportedly lasted a whole 15 minutes. Interestingly, this later in life fame shocked critics who were excited by this 'mature talent'. One wrote: "How is it possible that he could remain so long unknown to us?" Although admired by his contemporaries, including his close friend Gustav Mahler, Bruckner's infamous indecisiveness and habit of reworking all of his works, especially his symphonies, made him less in the public light. Known as one of the most insecure of composers, Bruckner often went large periods of time without composing anything due to writer's block. These inconsistencies also played towards his standing in the classical music sphere at this time. However, after the premiere of his Seventh Symphony, Bruckner never again enjoyed the success like this work. Although, Bruckner's works were henceforth paid much more attention to, and certainly demanded the attention from critics and audiences alike. Often lurking in the background, Bruckner started to become a household name like his contemporaries Johannes Brahms, Gustav Mahler and Richard Wagner. Once Bruckner had found his successful symphonic voice, his large-scale form and musical content began to knit together much more easily than before. Known to be the first composer to tackle the Wagnerian language into instrumental music, Bruckner's output into the world remains popular and important today. Bruckner's large-scale symphonic structure consisting of a big first movement, a gloriously spacious adagio, a peppy scherzo and a grandiose finale became his namesake. The Seventh Symphony was the most performed symphony of Bruckner's during his lifetime, with that perhaps also being the case now in the modern day.
The Orchestration
The Seventh calls for the largest orchestra Bruckner had ever used. One of the most notable parts of the orchestration is Bruckner's use of Wagner tubas. Invented by Wagner himself for The Ring of Nibelung, unlike the name suggests, they are not actually tubas. Wagner designed them to bridge the gap between french horns and trombones. Using horn mouthpieces, they are more often than not played by horn players. Bruckner used the Wagner tubas in the second and fourth movements of the Seventh Symphony, as well as the Adagio of the Eighth Symphony and in the unfinished Ninth Symphony.
I. Allegro Moderato
The epic first movement begins with a noble melody emerging from the shadows. The idea of a drawn-out opening movement melody became something Bruckner revelled in. The opening theme became one of Bruckner's most distinctive ideas throughout all of his music. The music develops in unexpected ways, however the underlying E major arpeggio remains at the core of this movement. Bruckner's shaping of phrases becomes seamless, with variations sounding like natural progressions. The music slowly builds to a chirpy Allegro section which can be read as three main themes, a developmental section and an extensive coda. The E major tonality rings true throughout most of the work, with the bass end of the orchestra often keeping the music firmly rooted in the key. The climatic ending of this epic 22 minute opening movement is accentuated by the fanfaring brass and frantic string movement.
II. Adagio: Sehr feierlich und sehr langsam
The even longer Adagio second movement sees some of Bruckner's most sensitive and emotionally-driven writing. The composer famously wrote a letter to conductor Felix Mottl saying that he had been troubled by premonitions of Wagner's death: "One day I came home and felt very sad. The thought had crossed my mind that before long the Master would die, and then the C# minor theme of the Adagio came to me." His thoughts became a reality in 1883 as he was still writing the Adagio when Wagner died on February 13th. After hearing the news, Bruckner wrote the heart-wrenching coda for the second movement, which he always referred to as "the funeral music for the Master". The movement is opened by the Wagner tubas and the melodic movement is built up from there. Once the music reaches the first epic climax it is in C major, which is a highly surprising and impressive destination for a movement of music that was firmly planted in C# minor. During the climax the percussion add to the overall drama by utilising instruments such as the cymbal, triangle and snare drum. The extensive coda written in memory of Wagner, can be likened to some of the later works by Brahms, Wagner and Mahler. This is where Bruckner's mature style is at its best, with heart-wrenching string writing and highly calculated harmonic movement, the Adagio movement is perhaps the highlight of the whole symphony.
III. Scherzo: Sehr schnell (A minor) – Trio: Etwas langsamer
With a dramatic change in character to the movement previous, the quirky scherzo and trio movement is brilliantly colourful and full of life. Dominated by an unrelenting string ostinato, the melody is first dominated by a trumpet. The theme is passed around the brass and this bouncy music leads to a contrasting trio section which emphasises Bruckner's pastoral writing. Using melodic material from previous movements, the trio goes through different emotions before reaching the recap section. The brass proclaim the melody as the music builds up to the finale movement.
IV. Finale: Bewegt, doch nicht schnell
Back in the home key of E major, the finale movement begins much like that of the opening movement. With a slower beginning that is ever-changing, the music builds to a 'not too quick' tempo. The epic sounds later on are led by the brass once more, and the symphony's first theme is embraced one more in the form of E major fanfares. The symphony ends in true Bruckner style with full forces playing that amounts to a spine-tingling finish.
Just before Bruckner completed his iconic Seventh Symphony, Bruckner visited Bayreuth in August 1883 to visit Wagner's grave. The composer paid his respects to 'The Master', a man whom he owed so much. Bruckner returned home and completed the finale of the Seventh Symphony.

After a thorough check of game film over the weekend, Old Mill football coach Mike Marcus announced that his prize running back, Brashaad Mayweather, set an Anne Arundel County single-game rushing record on Friday at home against Arundel.
In the No. 4-ranked Patriots' 41-26, season-opening victory, Mayweather, All-County last fall as a junior, ran for 342 yards on 30 attempts and tied the school record for touchdowns in a game with five.
Old Mill first reported that Mayweather had run for 320 yards, but then announced that he broke the county record of 340 set by St. Mary's Jason Lilly against Calvert Hall in 1994.
"We first had it at 320 and I couldn't believe it was that high," said Marcus.
"So, I went back and re-tallied everything myself off the film and he actually had 342 yards. I went over it two or three times and did it because I thought he would have less."
The state single-game rushing record is 446 by Hancock's Sam Hess against St. James in 1998. Mayweather's 342 yards put him 12th all-time in state history.
Mayweather, a transfer from Texas, ran for 242 yards against Arundel (41-12) in his debut for the Patriots last season. Now, he's broken the school record of 276 set by Kelvin Collins against North County in 1999.
The 342 figure also surpassed the county public school mark of 336 set by North County's Frank Brown against Chesapeake in 1992.
Mayweather is the eighth player in county history to run for 300 or more yards in a game.
Three of the metro area's top seven boys soccer teams will be in action this weekend in the two-day Severna Park tournament set to start Friday.
Archbishop Spalding will take on No. 7 South River at 5:15 p.m., with No. 3 Calvert Hall going up against the host No. 5 Falcons at 7:15.
Severna Park's annual alumni game will kick off Saturday's action at 3 p.m. Any interested alumni should arrive at the school at 2:30 and notify Falcons coach Don Gregg.
South River will then meet Calvert Hall at 5:15, followed by Spalding vs. Severna Park to close out the tournament at 7:15.
The four teams competing are a combined 9-1 this season.
This year's 13th Knights Invite cross country meet set for 4 p.m. Friday at Baybrook Park in Brooklyn/ Brooklyn Park has a special meaning.
"This is the 40th year of cross country at Baybrook, where part of the 3-mile course is in the city [the Brooklyn portion] and the other part [Brooklyn Park] in the county," said North County coach Ed Harte, whose Knights host the always quality event and who provided some little-known historical facts.
"Brooklyn Park High opened in 1961 and their first cross country team ran in 1962 and won a boys state title in 1964. The Bees ran meets at Baybrook until 1989, when the school merged with Andover to form North County. And I've had the North County team since 1990."
Frank Flaging was the Bees' first coach and had the job until Jerry Snyder took over in 1968 and held the first Brooklyn Park Invitational, which Harte says "was similar to our Knights Invite."
Snyder coached the Bees until 1986, when one of his proteges, Mike Cashen, who ran at Brooklyn Park in the late '60s and is now the Old Mill coach, took over. He was the Bees' last coach.
Harte has another talented field this year, including The Sun's No. 1-ranked boys and girls teams from C. Milton Wright, the No. 4 Westminster and No. 10 Spalding boys teams and the girls teams of No. 4 Broadneck, McDonogh and Notre Dame Prep.
C. Milton Wright, with Patrick Bailey, is the boys defending champion while NDP is the girls defending titlist. Bailey won with a time of 15:31 last year and has his sights set on the meet record of 15:26 set by Spalding's Dusty Lieb in 2000.
Broadneck's Lauren Centrowitz is the girls favorite.
