The Atlantic Council, a leading Washington, DC-based think tank, will bring together energy leaders to discuss the sector's most pressing issues at the inaugural Atlantic Council Global Energy Forum in Abu Dhabi this week.
The event, taking place on January 12 and13 at Four Seasons Hotel Abu Dhabi at Al Maryah Island, marks the first time the Atlantic Council will host an event in the GCC.
Held under the patronage of HH Sheikh Mohammed Bin Zayed Al Nahyan, Crown Prince of Abu Dhabi and Deputy Supreme Commander of the UAE Armed Forces, and in partnership with the Ministry of Energy, Abu Dhabi National Oil Company (Adnoc), Mubadala, IPIC and Masdar, the two-day event will bring together approximately 350 leading energy voices from the region and around the world.
The forum will become an integral part of Abu Dhabi Sustainability Week, preceding key events including the International Renewable Energy Agency's Annual Assembly and the World Future Energy Summit. It will help set the 2017 energy agenda in order to strengthen understanding of energy markets, encourage breakthrough technologies and foster sustainable development.
The forum will focus on three key themes: the implications of the US elections for the global security and energy space; the emerging new oil and gas market order; and breakthrough energy technologies in the context of energy sector transformation and climate change. This partnership was formalised by the MoU signed between the Atlantic Council and the Ministry of Energy earlier this year. The Atlantic Council is grateful for the support of its partners, including Crescent Petroleum and Dentons, who are platinum sponsors of this year's Global Energy Forum.

You are only granted a 30-day visa upon landing by flight into Thailand. If you plan on travelling though Thailand before or after your retreat we advise our students to obtain a Two-Month tourist visa from your local Thai Consulate in your home country. If you intend to stay even longer you can extend this two-month visa by 30 days on Koh Samui. If you intend to stay even longer, you can obtain another two- month visa by making a trip to Penang, Malaysia or cross one of Thailand's borders.
When filling out your Thai visa application form, you can put Bamboo Huts, Koh Phangan, Thailand for your guarantor/and or place to stay in Thailand. When you apply for a 2 month tourist visa state on your application form that you are visiting as a tourist. It is best not to mention that you're doing a Yoga Retreat here, otherwise you will have to apply for a special visa that is difficult to obtain and involves so much paperwork and each Thai embassy has their own right to reject your application form if they don't feel you have the exact paperwork that they see fit!!!
The local currency is the Thai Baht and it is the only currency that is accepted in Haad Yuan, and the rest of the local bays here. There are no ATM's, or ability to use visa or traveler's cheques here, so each person should get whatever money they need in Thai baht beforehand (for example at the airport or Had Rin) for the entire length of the yoga retreat. You may store your cash safely, in the safety deposit at Bamboo Huts or wherever you are staying for the duration of your stay.
Of course it is both easy and possible to take a 5-10 min boat taxi to Haad Rin to take out money, but it does involve more time and money to do this exchange. In the bay area of Haad Yuan and Haad Thien, many of the places often run a tab, of which you can pay off at the end of your visit- for any extra stuff you may want to purchase during your time here.
You can exchange cash, traveler's cheques, and use your debit card and visa in Had Rin through ATM's, exchange centers, and banks or in Bangkok- I would recommend getting whatever you need for the time you are here in terms of Thai baht in Bangkok or Haad Rin.
The temperature on Koh Phangan tends to remain fairly constant and warm year round and are characterised by bright shining sun and clear blue skies, though there can be some rain year-round.
Southern Thailand has 2 seasons: wet and dry. The wettest month tends to be in November, although depending on the monsoon. December can be quite wet as well. The dry and hot season tends to be from April – May.
The most touristy times of year tend to be December, January, February, and August, while the low-seasons of September and October are the best kept secret and perfect time for a more quiet beach holiday, with sunny blue skies and calm seas.
There is internet and WIFI in Haad Yuan at Big Blue, Pariya Resorts, & Bamboo huts, and in Had Thien at the Sanctuary Resort. The nearest post office is in Haad Rin (the internet is also readily available there). You can make calls on Skype via the internet, at Big Blue Resort in Haad Yuan, or at the Sanctuary in Haad Thien. Also you can call with a phone card at a local telephone booth, from your cell phone or from the travel agents or internet stores in Haad Rin.
The local language is Thai, and although most people speak English, and Burmese, the Thais love it when we try and greet them in their own language.
For any shots and vaccines, you can consult your local travel clinic to see what they suggest. It is really up to the individual for what they choose and what they feel comfortable with.
There is no need to bring iodine tablets or purification liquids, the water is safe to drink in Thailand. However, the bottled water is even better and is sold everywhere. You can refill your bottle with purified water at Bamboo Huts and other Resorts.
The nearest medical facilities are located in Haad Rin, a 10 minutes boat ride away. There you will find a few medical facilities and pharmacies/chemists. A larger state hospital is located in Thong Sala although if you need further medical treatment we would recommend going to Koh Samui, our neighbour island which hosts a few excellent medical facilities including several large hospitals.
We highly recommend that you purchase an international travel insurance for your trip.
Included in your package is one massage with Pam (below Bamboo Huts) who offers awesome Thai and Oil Massage for 300 baht/hour.
The Sanctuary Resort has a spa offering massage, waxing, manicures/pedicures, and facials. In low season they often have daily "half off" discounts. Check with The Sanctuary for more details.
Thai Massage can also be found at Stone Bar (Haad Yuan), Barcelona (far end of Haad Yuan beach), Nok at Lovelip (behind the Sanctuary in Haad Thien), and the Thai Massage Mammas (far end of Haad Thien beach).
Big Blue. We affectionately refer to this as the Big Blue Mall as it has all the basics; toiletries, medicines, hangers, coffee, snacks, clothes and inflatable water toys to name some.
The Sanctuary offers some clothing items, natural beauty products and other gift items.
You can drop your laundry at Bamboo reception. They charge 60baht/kg.
Join the Free Talk Sunday at 3pm to hear about current offerings from international healers and therapists. Check the chalkboards for updated info on movie screenings and events outside the restaurant or besides the Tea Temple.

We analyze
all of the forces acting on a place in order to present a cohesive design vision and a complete understanding of the:
Client's desires
Existing and planned architectural elements
Landscape context of the site
Ecology and climate of the site
and of the region
Influence of the regional character

We value collaboration
within our office, with other design professionals, the contractors that will realize our designs, and foremost with the client. We leave no voice unheard, or insight ignored.
Our proposals

From conception to completion
our oversight ensures a personal attention to each garden, providing continuity of communication and vision throughout.
Justine Lovinger
Justine Lovinger brings a depth of understanding to her projects as a result of over 20 years of practice, teaching, and extensive travel and study of the cultural landscapes and gardens of the world, all of which have contributed to an innate and accessible sense of proportion and timeless beauty. As a third generation Oregonian, she is also deeply rooted in her local community and the unique qualities of the Oregon landscape. Justine is a graduate of the University of Oregon (BLA 1991), and Harvard University's Graduate School of Design (MLA 1996). She is a registered Landscape Architect in the State of Oregon.
Jackie Robertson
Jackie Robertson fell in love with Oregon in 1975, and has lived and gardened there almost continuously ever since. She was inspired to study Landscape Architecture after beginning to design the landscape for her personal rural and deer plagued paradise, which she now maintains as a demonstration garden for the firm. She earned her degree at the University of Oregon (BLA, 2006), is a registered Landscape Architect in Oregon, and has been practicing with Justine since 2003. Her prior 30-year career was in aviation, culminating in 18 years as a domestic and international pilot for United Airlines. During those travels, she was fortunate to have visited many of the world's most famous gardens and urban public spaces, bringing home a wealth of understanding of style and scale. The combination of her work and studies has melded invaluable skills in project and resource management with artful design for a creative and practical approach to landscape transformation.
Miranda Hawkes
Miranda Hawkes joined Lovinger Robertson as an Associate in 2015. As the daughter of a career Forest Service employee working throughout the Northwest, she grew up with a deep connection to natural environments. Miranda first became interested in design during the five years she spent working seasonally at a nursery and greenhouse. She gained hands-on experience in garden composition, as well as a love and knowledge of plant varieties that is strongly evident in her professional skills and interests. Paired with her love of the outdoors, Miranda's affinity for structure and engineering led her to earn her undergraduate degree in Architecture (B.Arch 2011), followed by a Masters in Landscape Architecture (MLA 2015) from the University of Oregon. She has a particular passion for designs that exercise both her degrees, in which the built environment and outdoor spaces enrich and support each other.
Arica Duhrkoop-Galas
Arica Duhrkoop-Galas came to Eugene to study landscape architecture at the University of Oregon (MLA, 2005) and quickly found a sense of community here. Arica joined the Lovinger Robertson office in 2018 with 15 years of experience in small firms, bringing project management, cost estimating, and construction documentation skills to the team. She teaches part time for the UO Landscape Architecture department and enjoys the balance of educating and practicing, feeling that both pieces strengthen and inform the other; constantly refreshing knowledge and insights. With her rich understanding of construction methods and her observant and creative mind, she is an effective designer and a nimble problem solver. Her attention to details, materials, and finish bring a polish to the scale and harmony in her designs. Arica encourages sustainability through the use of long-lived materials that are locally sourced and through a consideration of drought resistant plants that still feel like they belong in the Northwest palette.

Matchmaker Eric Bottjer gives Boxcino overview
New Town, ND (March 26, 2014)– This Friday night at the 4 Bears Casino & Lodge in New Town, North Dakota, The Boxcino 2014 lightweight tournament semifinals will take place with 8-round bouts featuring Petr Petrov (33-4-2, 15 KO's) fighting Chris Rudd (13-1, 8 KO's) and Fernando Carcamo (16-5, 13 KO's) taking on Miguel Gonzalez (23-3, 16 KO's).
The fights will be broadcast live on ESPN, ESPNDeportes+ and WatchESPN beginning at 9 PM ET.
The tournament has been a critical success with the viewers and is the talk of social media.
One of the men responsible for identifying much of the talent that has been on display is Banner Promotions matchmaker Eric Bottjer.
Bottjer has been one of the most distinguished boxing men for the better part of two decades as he signed and developed many world champions.
Bottjer gives his overview of the quarterfinals and he breaks down what to look for in the semifinals.
"Petrov and Rudd were both big surprises because most people picked their opponents (Fedor Papazov and Yakubu Amidu respectively) to win in the opening fights," said Bottjer.
"Both guys now face opponents with completely different styles than what they faced in their opening matches, so the key to their fight is who can make the adjustment. They both capitalized on fighting very aggressive fighters. Now they are each fighting more accomplished boxers."
"Carcamo is the biggest puncher of the whole group of lightweights in the tournament and Gonzalez is the best boxer. It is no secret on how each of them is going to fight."
"The fights in the first round were very good. The semifinals will be at that level if not better. The guy who wins this tournament would have defeated three good fighters on national television over a three-month period. Whoever wins the tournament will establish himself as a world-class fighter and title contender," finished Bottjer.

It is interesting to see what appears to be a natural progression among many artists from representational artwork to the more abstract. Many masters during the past have gone that route - Picasso and Munch come immediately to mind.
You hear about the desire to paint "more loosely." To me it is more a matter of painting less tangible subjects - ideas, feelings - or focusing on the surface and medium - or working with design, color, texture, etc. I still paint more representationally when a sense of place or character is a major part of the subject.

Interesting artwork. Chose this one as it represents to be anyway, migraines that i have.To me then, somehting that i consider negative you have made visually positive.

– As per the order of the unmodified Court, the Insurance Regulatory and expand Authority of India (IRDAI) has mandated for every the general insurance providers of India considering National Car Insurance Company to have enough money multi-year third-party insurance to the vehicles that are sold after September 1st of 2018. In additional words, we can say that rather than offering single year third-party insurance policy, the insurance providers will have to offer three years insurance coverage to the cars and five years insurance plot to the two-wheelers.
Option two: You can purchase a gather together insurance plan for three years, which will be utterly expensive and not recommended.
Option three: You can buy sum up insurance policy for one year with three years third-party liability insurance. This is one of the most recommended options.
Even while you get not have a substitute than paying more premiums on your vehicle insurance due to this multi-year insurance policy, but this rule in addition to has some benefits. allow us discuss them.
No-Need to hurry for the Insurance Renewal every Year: Even while you have to pay more premium but you are paying it collectively for three/five years. This means you realize not have to pay the premium of your third-party insurance policy for three to five years depending upon your vehicle. in the past you have paid the premiums in advance, you compulsion not worry roughly renewing the insurance policy all year. every you have to do is to pay the premium taking into account and acquire the forgiveness from the renewal of your policy for three to five years as per your vehicle.
You Can Easily harbor Your Insurance Provider: Taking an insurance scheme for three or five years does not set sights on that you have floating every the hopes to modify your insurance provider for this tenure. This find or scheme gives you full flexibility for porting your insurance provider to get better coverage and the best deals subsequently the deals offered upon National Insurance Car renewals.
A third-party insurance policy for vehicles offers lid for damages and losses caused to the moving picture or property of any third-party because of the vehicle that you own. Therefore, it offers financial protection to you adjoining the losses caused to a third-party.
It in addition to provides you protection neighboring legal liabilities incurring because of the death, injury, or broken caused to a third-party.
A third-party insurance policy for combination years is more affordable and cheaper than purchasing the similar plan every year.
It must be clearer to you that a third-party insurance cover does not give any tutelage to your own vehicle and for the same you have to purchase a combined insurance plan.
Since the acquit yourself has mandated third-party insurance cover for giving you financial tutelage next to any accidental expenses occurred to third-party, thus for covering your own vehicle against any loss or damage you must consent a amassed insurance plan. For this, you can opt for any of the above-mentioned options.
The premiums of the collect plans depend upon various factors such as make and model of your car, safety devices installed in your vehicle, set sights on of your car/ bike, and the area where you are staying.
So, if you have any plans of purchasing a other car or bike, subsequently be ready to shed some extra allowance in taking multi-year third-party insurance in the manner of your vehicle. while many of you would argue or disagree over the requirement of this move, but it will categorically append the total of insured cars and bikes plying upon the roads of India.
The biggest winner in the car donation process is usually the donor and not the society recipient. But if you say yes your time, ignore the quick and simple television appeals, and locate a reputable, high-performing organization that will make the most of your donation, subsequently you can maximize the amount that actually gets to organization and minimizes your risk of an IRS audit.
If at all possible, avoid the for-profit intermediary organizations that advertise appropriately pervasively to handle your car donations. By finding a work that handles the transaction themselves, you can ensure that 100% of the profits remain at the charity. It's viable that the charities you already preserve have a car-donation program that you don't know about. Check gone them first. If not, complete a tiny research, and find a high-performing group that does the nice of produce a result you like, in the region you wish to target, and does that performance well.
While many organizations can affirmation non-profit status, donations to 501 (c) (4) organizations are generally not tax-deductible. These are diplomatic organizations as soon as access to lobby our government; bearing in mind Disabled American Veterans or the National Rifle Association. make certain your intended recipient has 501 (c) (3) public charity status.
Otherwise, you can deserted deduct the amount that the activity sells the car for at auction as indicated on the written receipt the society sends you.
. Additionally, if your car is worth more than $500, you must unlimited section A of the IRS Form 8283 and adjoin it to your once a year taxes. Furthermore, if your car is worth over $5,000, subsequently you must have an independent appraisal and fill out Section B of IRS Form 8283.

Q: Require key file by path in Google Cloud Function I have the functions for Google Cloud Function that needs to require json key file.
For example:
const SERVICE_ACCOUNT_EMAIL = 'your_service_account_email@developer.gserviceaccount.com';
const SERVICE_ACCOUNT_KEY_FILE = require('./path/to/your/service_account.json');

const jwtClient = new google.auth.JWT(
    SERVICE_ACCOUNT_EMAIL,
    null,
    SERVICE_ACCOUNT_KEY_FILE.private_key,
    ['https://www.googleapis.com/auth/androidpublisher'],
    null
);

How I can get access for SERVICE_ACCOUNT_KEY_FILE? Where should I upload the file and how next do I will find its path?

A: This is a key from the private/public key pair that you create. It will be wrapped inside a JSON (at least that is the common usage). See examples here and documentation here. Never share your private key, but you can freely share your public key (in fact it is required that you share your public key). And don't put your private key into a source control (git repo).
You can find a lot of good information about asymmetric asymmetric cryptography (public key cryptography) online.
In case you are wondering where to add the key file, it should be here: https://www.npmjs.com/package/google-oauth-jwt#creating-a-service-account-using-the-google-developers-console
UPDATE:
Where should you add the file to be able to access it:

One of the best practice is to put the file in a bucket, to allow the function service account (the default one or a specific identity) to read this bucket and to load the file at runtime. One of the main reason is that you don't have to commit your security file, you just have to keep a reference to a bucket.

Models of note are the attack bike and speeder. I like the attack bike itself, but always hated how the passenger sat and gun position. So 10 years ago I modeled a standing Marine with weapon. I gave the passenger hair now though, lol.
On the speeder I've altered the weapon load out, changed both heads and change the gunners pose a bit. Again I never liked the gun/gunner positioning on the basic model.

When my first child entered elementary school, knowing I was a journalist, she began asking me: "What stories did you work on today, Dad?" At the time the Iraq war was in full swing. I was in charge of CNN's Weapons of Mass Destruction beat. I had very little to share with her. I wanted to figure out a way to combine my role as father and journalist -- to create a space where parents can find stories they want to share with their children or with each other. I call that space NewsDad.
My father was a professional standup comic. Does that make me funny? It didn't hurt.

The Roman Empire is a raider region dedicated to fighting defenders, natives, and other enemies and traitors of the raider cause. We greatly value the concepts of camaraderie and community, and commit ourselves to spreading the ideas of raiding throughout the game. This empire has been reforged from a previously broken community, and prepares itself to seize greater victories and triumphs in the future. Long live the Roman Empire, long live the Emperor!

The Roman Empire, if you haven't noticed, has separate applications for military and citizenship. Participating in a Roman-themed UCR would be pretty cool. No one gives two shits about Dragon Age. And that's completely beside the point, we're happy to have raiders in our own Discord, because it's fun, and we get along. The purist stench emanating from TRE seems to fly in the face of a simple rule: be cool.
I think people with common sense tend to have a problem with that, given what Cormac said, and what I've seen come out of Gest. Does he text his mother with that keyboard?

If you haven't noticed, I wasn't talking at all about their applications. I was addressing your ridiculous point of "this reeks of purism... the region and its strong cultural background [is] to exterminate defenders." It doesn't matter that you allow raiders into your discord (do you though?), it's still an idea that the Grey Wardens have literally built themselves on. Clearly you can't handle a little propaganda.

I don't like the kind of propaganda that twists people's minds and turns them against any and all defenders and 'moderates' like this rotten ideology does so I'm sure as hell wary of any sign of purism. I see this region as more than just raiders, it seems like a good UCR culture in the making, unlike the Wardens which is a defender organization and nothing more. So try considering that for a moment before you accuse me of hypocrisy from atop your high horse.

Ooooo a new raider org. Spicy. I look forward to sniping your raids very soon
I'll be honest. Putting myself in a raider's shoes I perfectly understand the nature of "fighting defenders." That's what raiders do. It should be a given. Raiders and defenders have been fighting each other as long as this game has existed and I don't necessarily see the purism in a raider organization coming out and saying that. That being said, Ike is absolutely right. The line is crossed when a glimmer of hope is squashed by a proverbial mountain of vitriolic raider chest-beating. Not only is that no fun but it's a little dangerous, for obvious reasons. Both to raiders and defenders. To me that is part of what bred all the cheating. But i recognize that this is probably not the time or place to have that discussion. Propaganda is cool. A little lighthearted trolling is cool. So I'll withhold judgment for now. I hope it doesn't turn into what Cormac or Ike have rightly expressed concerns about.
I'll be a defender as long as I play this game but I don't hate raiders. Y'all can be really cool. But please, please, for the love of God don't suck the fun out of it with more vitriolic crap. What goes around comes around, friends.

Plenty of raider groups that have never had any ties to TBR/DEN/Cora/Gest/(whatever everyone is expected to turn into gibbering idiots about now) have explicit ideals about trying to get rid of defenders. This isn't some new thing to get horrified about, you're just fishing for something to get upset about because you don't like the people involved. Members of Roman Empire would do well not to engage in this thread at all.

Does being a defender justify the fact that the Grey Wardens use that same propaganda? (Of course, replacing "any and all defenders and 'moderates'" with "invaders"). Nah. If you can't handle a bit of propaganda, I haven't the slightest clue how you manage to stay still there. The "purist" mindset has been around for a long time, even before Cora's devastation of the phrase. This isn't really new.

I don't know about that. Maybe so, if you also include that they spread the exact same ideology (defender purism, whatever you want to call it) that is harboured by the Grey Wardens. Honestly though, this doesn't surprise me. You'll be raiding by next week.

To be clear, I didn't have a problem with The Roman Empire being a region "dedicated to fighting defenders." Because duh. I also didn't have much of an issue with them including natives, because while I personally don't agree with griefing and thus obviously prefer raiders who are relatively neutral in their effect on natives, plenty of other raiders unfortunately engage in griefing and it's not at all unusual since regional influence was implemented.
Where I most felt Gest's influence was in the phrase "other enemies and traitors of the raider cause." This sounds like a reworded version of the "moderate traitors" The Black Riders and DEN went on and on about, which led to the kind of anti-Moderation extremism that certain delete-on-sight former players and 94 Block embraced. Gest was still spouting that nonsense just a few months ago (and probably still is) on The Invaders' Discord server to anyone who would listen, which was why I bailed from The Invaders in a hurry shortly after joining them, and it's disappointing and a little alarming to see ambiguous "enemies and traitors of the raider cause" mentioned in The Roman Empire's inaugural post in Gameplay. I would prefer not to see The Roman Empire and who knows who else caught up in another one of the rule-breaking scandals Gest's extremism generates. Don't end up like The Black Riders and DEN.

Such an original line.
Last I checked, the Grey Wardens aren't defender purists of any sort, and we gladly welcome all former raiders to the flock. Regardless of how long it's been around or how much propaganda you think it is, purism isn't any less cancerous a belief and a practice. The idea that TGW, its leadership or its membership, demonizes the character of present or former raiders simply for the way they do R/D, labelling them traitors and judging them negatively for it, is a complete falsehood and based entirely in fiction. In fact, a decent bulk of our ranks are comprised of former raiders of some sort. We very much enjoy the #madbantz that the raiders in our Discord give us, especially in VC.

So, after recent actions by Censor Thorn1000 that occurred earlier this morning, I've got to say that it seems my faith was misplaced. What assurances, if any, do we have at this point to believe that the toxicity that has consumed previous regions in that sub-section of the invader circles isn't going to consume this place. The aforementioned actions, in addition with keeping folks like Gest and Attero around, don't really inspire much faith in this region anymore.

The basic problem is that toxicity spills. It is an absolutely horrid idea to let the views and words of people like Block and Gest proliferate, not because it has to do completely with your region, but it affects ours as well. It's a community thing. Toxicity spreads. Not just about raiding and defending, but the division being sowed in NS and the kinds of people who relish that kind of thing. The head needs to be cut off. Tolerating people who have said and done things like they have, and I hope to God I don't have to point to logs for you to get the point, is unhealthy for everyone in the community and only enables further toxicity.

Background: Infection with cytomegalovirus (CMV) remains asymptomatic in most immunocompetent hosts, but is the leading cause of congenital viral infection worldwide and can be life-threatening in immunocompromised individuals. We aimed to assess CMV seroprevalence in a nationally representative sample of adults in Germany and to identify sociodemographic factors associated with CMV seropositivity. Methods: Blood samples from 6552 participants (18–79 years) of the "German National Health Interview and Examination Survey 1998", a population-based sample of the adult population in Germany, were tested for the presence of CMV antibodies using an Ig-multiplex assay. Weighted seroprevalence was calculated and weighted binomial regression was used to identify factors associated with CMV seropositivity. Results: Overall CMV seroprevalence was 56.7% (95%CI: 54.8–58.7%), with a higher seroprevalence in women (62.3%) than in men (51.0%). Seroprevalence increased with age: from 31.8% to 63.7% in men and from 44.1% to 77.6% in women when comparing the 18–29 with the 70–79 year age-group, respectively. CMV seroprevalence in women of childbearing age (18–45 years) was 51.7%. Factors significantly associated with CMV seropositivity were age, country of birth, smoking status, education, living in northern Germany and number of household members. In addition, having attended child care was associated with seropositivity in men, and number of siblings and living in East Germany in women. Conclusion: Our results indicate that half the women of childbearing age were susceptible for primary CMV infection during pregnancy. CMV screening during pregnancy and informing seronegative women about CMV risk reduction measures could prevent congenital CMV infections with its serious consequences.

Home Case Studies & Stories Scientists identify gases unique to rotting pigs and human bones
Scientists identify gases unique to rotting pigs and human bones
After we die, our rotting bodies release specific types of gases into the environment. When a body goes missing, dogs can sniff for these gases to track it down. But forensic scientists are still trying to nail down the exact "smell of death" that is unique to humans. Now, a team in Belgium has identified seven compounds that only pigs and people produce late into decomposition.
When a body first begins to decompose, enzymes dissolve the cells from within. Next comes bloating and putrefaction, giving the corpse a greenish tinge. Active decay starts when the skin breaks and the corpse begins to liquefy. Soon, only shreds of flesh cling to the body. By the end, only hair and bones are left. Figuring out which chemicals our bodies release at these different stages would allow cadaver dogs to be trained to find bodies at specific points in their decay.
In the new study, scientists examined a menagerie of remains from six humans and 26 animals that included pigs and other other animals that included pigs and other mammals, fish, frogs, turtles, and various birds. The team sampled the gases surrounding the remains at 9 and 12 months of decomposition.
Previously, the scientists had investigated the corpses at 6 months of decomposition, and came up with 8 compounds only released by human and pig bodies. The new work confirmed that 7 of them are still hanging around later in decomposition.
"This means that these 7 human and pig specific markers can be used in the development of training aids for cadaver dogs during the whole decomposition process," wrote the authors who published their findings in Forensic Science International. The other compound, diethyl disulfide, could be used to detect bodies at the beginning of decomposition.
When the team sampled bodies after 6 months, the bodies had already passed into advanced decay. After 12 months, the corpses had not yet dried out, so it's not yet certain whether the bodies still release these compounds very late in decomposition. The remains also stayed tucked in glass jars, so scientists will have to investigate whether changes in moisture or temperature that occur out in the open influence which chemicals are released.
Currently, cadaver dogs are trained on the stench of compounds such as cadaverine and putrescine. But dogs sometimes fail to pick up on real body parts, indicating that these training scents do not capture the full complexity of the real decomposition odor.
"A human specific marker can be used to train cadaver dogs more efficiently and therefore win time to locate a body," the authors wrote in their previous report. "Moreover, when a human specific marker is found, it might be possible to develop a portable device that is sensitive enough to locate human remains."

Deirdre who likes herself to be called Dre is currently a Senior in High School. She is Associate Editor of her school's weekly newsletter.
Gretchen found herself lost; physically as well as mentally. For the umpteenth time she washed her face and as her head lifted to take in the grayish bags that added a new depth to her eyes she felt her head flip over with unsorted thoughts. Skipping a class of Math did not matter to her as much as having the washroom completely to herself did. The throbbing in her head soon got too much for her to bear. With hands that seemed to tremble every time she lifted them, she wiped her face that was drenched not as much with tap water as with her own sweat. Lifting her head, she stared once again at the face that seemed to be the very embodiment of the fear that enveloped her heart. She took a deep breath and left the restroom in a hurry. She neither knew nor cared if the people she passed by were staring at her or not. The end of classes that day saw Gretchen being the first one exiting the building and trudging back home in a gait that spoke of her anxiety louder than words. Fear's fingers were ice cold as they slowly closed around her neck while she made her way through the silent deserted road. The darkness that descended this time didn't bring her the calm she had hoped for.
She gasped as she closed the door behind her. She hurried and locked herself inside the room. Thankfully neither of her parents came to check on her and this gave her the much needed moment with herself. The cold water that streamed through the shower relaxed her. She lay on her bed and got herself comfortable and soon drifted off into a deep sleep. The next morning she awoke to the sound of birds chirping. It was quiet at the breakfast table since both of her parents had left early for work. Gretchen decided not to go to class and went for a long quiet walk on her own. Evening had fallen and Gretchen had fallen asleep on the bench of the park in the neighborhood. She went home through the same dark abandoned lane. She increased her pace as she walked and half ran as she almost reached home. Her heart beat in a rush as she ran to her room and took a shower. As she lay on her bed that night, she saw a dream.
Gretchen was back on that same forlorn path. Unlike reality, she walked confidently in her dream. She was smiling at some random thought which was interrupted by footsteps. More footsteps joined in making her conscious as ever. Her heartbeat rose like intense drumbeats as a sudden rush of panic jolted her. She could feel her pace increasing with her own heart beat; the footsteps behind her refusing to stop. Then she could feel it; the weight of four big burly men on her, their hands finding a way on her body. Gretchen couldn't escape what felt like her worst nightmare. She squirmed as tears rolled down her eyes; her screams lasting an entirety. The pain took over her as she lost the will to struggle and the will to live. She just wanted it to end.
She woke up gasping as her dream ended. Only this time, she found herself lying on her grave.


We all know people who smoke cigarettes and have tried to quit. Some have success quitting cold turkey, others use the patch or gum, but a trend that has helped more people quit is the electronic cigarette.
Kirk Henry; Founder of Clean Smoke, was a smoker for over thirty years. He quit successfully after using electronic cigarettes and e-liquids. Having that kind of success inspired Henry to help others by opening his first Clean Smoke Electronic Cigarettes & E-Liquids store November 2011 in Sarasota, FL., "It helped me, I thought it could help anyone." Since then, he has opened four stores in the surrounding area and two more in Miami, FL with several more planned.
Clean Smoke is introducing a premium line of USA made Organic Liquid in April 2014. "Some people find the Organic VG (vegetable triglyceride) vs PG (propylene glycol) is easier on the throat, smoother and it producers a denser thicker vapor," Henry says,"People vape it because they are trying to be health conscious. They don't understand that PG is not bad for you either." What flavor is Henry's favorite, "Black Cherry, but I am a tobacco guy, my employees like Cinnamon Red Hot." Pricing is a bit more at $9.99 compared to the non-organic at $7.99, still less expensive than the normal pack of cigarette.
Clean Smoke Founder, Kirk Henry.
What separates Clean Smoke from their competition is their commitment to the customer. Quitting isn't easy and is a scary process, Clean Smoke employee's take the time to ask each new customer questions that will help them decide what liquid and starter kit is right for them. Each customer is given attention needed to make them comfortable, there are even How To Videos on their website http://www.CleanSmoke.com that instruct them through setting up their starter kit, cleaning the equipment, trouble shooting and more.
Recently Clean Smoke has been given the green light to start franchising, "it's a turn-key operation," says Henry, "With several inquiries from across the country, people see the potential in this billion dollar industry." Yet, there is more that goes behind a successful operation; like countless hours on the phone skyping with manufacturers, but Clean Smoke has bottled it and made it available for those wishing to capitalize and share in their success.
Many customers come into the store and quit right away with the e-cigarette, and other use it as an alternative to help ween them off cigarettes. Although they haven't been approved by the FDA yet, they have helped thousands of people live a healthier lifestyle.
If you want to make the switch, Clean Smoke products can be found locally in gas stations, convenient stores and in any of their store fronts in Bradenton, Brandon, Sarasota, North Miami Beach and South Beach Miami. You can also purchase products online through their website www.cleansmoke.com shipping anywhere in the USA.
Find Clean Smoke on Twitter, Instagram, Google +, Foursquare, Facebook and YouTube.
