, is one of Frank Slodysko's most recent editorial narrative documentaries. Premiered at Sundance, and more recently at Cannes, Monsterpalooza in Pasadena, and soon The World's Steampunk Fair in Piscataway,NJ, the feature length doc may be categorized as a psycho-fantasy-narrative documentary. In recreated scenes the film captures the world of the "absinthe circles" of the European literary, and cultural scene of the late 19th Century, including a remarkable scene of Oscar Wilde's last moments. The history covers how the myth of the absinthe induced hallucinations came about, and the REAL reason why absinthe was banned.
From a technical standpoint, the film was edited in Premiere, After Effects and Audition –the entire editorial process was done strictly within Creative Cloud. iZoptope plugins were used to clean up some of the production audio–no ADR was done on this film.
The special effects were done in Nuke. The music was composed in Ohio by Jerome Dillon, former drummer of Nine Inch Nails, using ProTools. Color was done at Technicolor in Los Angeles.
The film was made for about $250,000, but when people guess, they estimate no lower than 1.5 million.
Born in Virginia Beach, Virginia, Frank moved to San Francisco in 2002 to study film at the Academy of Art University, lasting all of three semesters before dropping out and starting freelance work. Since then, Frank has worked with many other filmmakers in all different avenues, and now continues honing his art while living in the city. A multiple award-winner not just for editing but also for sound design, Frank is currently promoting his latest feature, The Green Fairy, while preparing to edit a new nature film from Richard Grieco, currently in production, all while also supporting a local event webcasting company, known for producing TedX events, with media management, video archival methods, and livestream consulting.

The Ambassadors of European Values - CARMEN RAAL - 12 months EVS in Bordeaux, France - Article in English - Noored Ühiskonna Heaks!
My name is Carmen and this is a story of my year in France Bordeaux. So for the beginning I am going to tell you how I ended up as a volunteer in the first place. When I was 15 years old, I had my first youth exchange and after that I fell in love with travelling and meeting people all over the world. Ever since then I have taken part of 6 exchanges. Fast forward to 12th grade when everyone was thinking about universities and what to study next but my head was elsewhere – my dream was to work as a volunteer, and because of that I ended up taking a gap year and going to France to be an "Ambassador of European Values" for the House of Europe in Bordeax.
So, on 3rd of September I found myself in the capital of wine. We started off things easy. Our organization gave us time to settle in and meet the city. We were staying in a student residence apartments where I shared my flat with a Romanian girl. All together there were 14 EVS people from six countries and in addition to that our organization had recruited ten civil service volunteers..
Since our main tasks where to talk about European Union and everything that concerns it we had to go through educational lectures/workshops made by professors and other specialists. This prepared us very well for the future jobs and made us more professional.
After the preparation, it was time to start working. We were all divided into groups of three people. Our daily job included going to different schools where we made interesting workshops for kids on European matters or about our countries and culture in general.
Besides working in schools, we got to do other exciting activities. For example, collaborating with Unicef to organize a day for kids packed with exciting activities. Working with the local town hall to help organize an international energy conference, and the luckiest ones got to go to Wales for a study visit.
But the most anticipated and perhaps scariest moment for me and my fellow Estonian volunteer was February or should I call it the month of Estonia. Our mission at that time was to prepare a cultural night with Estonian food and presentation made entirely in French. Doing something like that generally does not scare me but the problem was the language. I went to France without knowing the language and at that point it was still not good. In addition to our presentation we had to cook Estonian foods. It was a struggle to find black bread but other than that our efforts paid off and the food was delicious. In the end the hard work paid off and everything went smoothly.
My year as a volunteer was not only work and no fun. I managed to do a lot of travelling around France and also abroad. I met so many new people from all over the world with who I connected and am staying in contact even though I am back in Estonia.
In conclusion, my year as a volunteer was so much more then just working in France, It was a growing experience that shaped me into a person I am today. I am far from finished being a volunteer and I hope that while in university I find other projects where I can contribute to the society. Once a volunteer, always a volunteer!

Beef is making a comeback.
After decades of diners shunning steaks and burgers for healthier protein options such as chicken and turkey, Americans will eat an estimated 54.3 pounds of the red meat this year—the first increase since 2006 and almost a half-pound more per person than in 2015, according to data from the U.S. Department of Agriculture.
Cheaper prices are spurring discounts and new menu items at restaurant chains, including Chili's and Wendy's Co. Protein-centric diets such as the Paleolithic, or Paleo, and Autoimmune Protocol that eliminate grains and sugar also are fueling the shift.
"Certainly there's been a big push toward eating more meat and more meat proteins," said Altin Kalo, an analyst at Steiner Consulting Group, an economic and commodity-trading adviser. Increased beef production also is contributing to the rise, he noted.
At the start of 2014, U.S. cattle supplies were the lowest in more than six decades after years of drought in the South and Southwest. The shortage sent beef prices surging to records. Since then, ranchers have been able to raise more cattle, and the latest USDA numbers show herds at a five-year high.
That's helping to drive down prices. In February, a pound of uncooked ground beef retailed for $4.38, about 7 percent below a year ago, according to data from the Bureau of Labor Statistics.
Even with the lower cost, beef consumption is well below historic levels: Americans ate as much as 94.3 pounds per person in 1976. Chicken has outpaced it since the early 1990s, and diners are projected to eat more than twice as much chicken, turkey and pork this year.
Restaurant chains are trying to shift their preferences, using the cheaper prices to promote special menu items. Some Texas Roadhouse Inc. locations are advertising a "Wild West Wednesdays" special with an 8-ounce sirloin steak and two side dishes for $9.99. The Louisville, Kentucky-based company has said it expects to pay 1 percent to 2 percent less this year for food than in 2015, mainly because of lower beef costs.
Wendy's is selling more beef after starting a 4-for-$4 promotion, which includes a cheeseburger, in October. It also has revamped its Dave's hamburgers with a new bakery-style bun and bolder-flavored mayo. Eleven million more customers visited one of its restaurants in the fourth quarter compared with a year ago, according to Kurt Kane, chief concept and marketing officer for the Dublin, Ohio-based company.
Consumers are drawn by discounts, and the lower beef costs help make them possible, Kane said. Promotions also have played a large role in boosting beef sales, he added.
"People have really responded well and are not buying just more of our Dave's burgers, but across our whole line," he said.
Fancier eateries are coming up with even more exotic variations. The Burger of the Month for March at Kuma's Corner, with restaurants in Chicago and Indianapolis, is a 10-ounce beef patty with deep-fried mozzarella sticks, house-made puttanesca sauce and hot capicola—an Italian pork cold cut—"topped with a basil chiffonade," according to its website. Another burger comes with pancetta, brie and a bourbon-poached pear.
Chili's is offering less-expensive beef in its new line of steaks, which are part of its 2-for-$20 dinners. The casual-dining chain, owned by Brinker International Inc., now has a citrus-chili avocado sirloin, as well as a steak topped with honey-chipotle shrimp.
So far, customers like the new sirloins, which took about a year to develop, said Edithann Ramey, vice president of marketing.
"Beef is going to continue to be a big part of Americans' diets," she said.

Breaking down Kentucky football bowl projections after Louisville loss
LEXINGTON, Ky. – Back-to-back blowout losses to close the regular season did nothing to improve Kentucky's bowl stock, but the Southeastern Conference's bowl selection process may diminish the impact of that poor finish.
At the top of the league, Auburn's win over Alabama helps Kentucky because it increases the chances of the SEC getting three teams — Auburn, Alabama and Georgia — in the College Football Playoff or other New Year's Six bowl games. That scenario would make LSU, the league's only nine-win team after a victory over Texas A&M, the most logical selection for the Citrus Bowl, which has first pick of SEC teams after the New Year's Six.
Mississippi State (8-4), South Carolina (7-4), Missouri (7-5), Texas A&M (7-5) and Kentucky (7-5) would then be available to the league's "pool of six" bowls: Outback, TaxSlayer, Music City, Liberty, Texas and Belk. One of those bowls could be forced to pick a team outside the SEC since six-win Ole Miss is ineligible due to a self-imposed postseason ban and five-win Florida finished a win shy of bowl eligibility after its September game against Northern Colorado was canceled because of Hurricane Irma.
The SEC works with bowls and universities to pick its side of the "pool of six" matchups. Avoiding repeat trips and matchups are among the factors considered, as well as distance to the game.

Related:Off-field distractions and discipline mark Kentucky's subpar showing in loss to Louisville
Where will Kentucky land? Here is the latest look at the Wildcats' most likely postseason destinations:
THE HEAVY FAVORITES
Music City Bowl – Kentucky fans love going to Nashville, and thanks to the poor finish to the season that trip might be the only one where the program could feel relatively confident about attracting a decent traveling group. The Dec. 29 date creates a conflict with the men's basketball game against Louisville, but the 4 p.m. kickoff (three hours after the 1 p.m. basketball game) means the television audience should still be good. There's no obvious competition for the bowl from a geographic standpoint for UK either with Tennessee and Vanderbilt failing to reach bowl eligibility.
Liberty Bowl – Liberty Bowl executive director Steve Ehrhart has expressed an interest in bringing Kentucky back to Memphis for the Liberty Bowl for the first time since the 2008 season. The game represents the second-closest drive from Kentucky as well, but UK's poor finish means the other SEC teams relatively close to Memphis might be more appealing. Missouri, Texas A&M and Mississippi State could all be in play here.

Texas Bowl – Mississippi State falling into the "pool of six" after its loss to Ole Miss gives the Texas Bowl a chance to pick an SEC West team like it has in its three years as one of the league's bowl partners. Texas A&M played here a year ago, so the Aggies will almost certainly go to a different "pool of six" bowl. If the Texas Bowl did take an East team, Missouri would make the most sense. Kentucky is technically in play though.
Belk Bowl – South Carolina makes the most geographic sense for the Belk Bowl, but flights to Charlotte are readily available from Kentucky and many other SEC states. The 1 p.m. kickoff on Dec. 29 — the same time as the Kentucky-Louisville basketball game — would cut significantly into the game's television audience. There are too many other appealing options here to put much stock in Kentucky's chances of heading to Charlotte.

College Football Playoff – Can Alabama get in the playoff even without playing in the SEC title game?
New Year's Six – If Alabama isn't in the playoff, the Crimson Tide will certainly be here. The SEC champion will go to the playoff, but the loser of Georgia and Auburn has to feel good about its New Year's Six chances as well.
Citrus Bowl – If the SEC title game loser falls out of the New Year's Six it will go here. Otherwise, LSU is the obvious pick, though the Tigers did play here a year ago so there's a chance the bowl would go with Mississippi State or South Carolina.
Outback Bowl – Yes, the Outback Bowl holds equal footing with the SEC's other "pool of six bowls," but it retains a higher profile thanks to its Jan. 1 date and status as a Florida bowl. Kentucky likely ended its chances of returning to Florida for postseason play with the Louisville blowout.
TaxSlayer Bowl – UK played here a year ago. The Cats won't be back in Jacksonville.
Birmingham Bowl & Independence Bowl – Not enough bowl-eligible SEC teams for the league to reach its contracts after the "pool of six" this season. There are enough bowl-eligible teams from other conferences to prevent any bowls from having to take a five-win team this season.

*This projection leaves the Liberty Bowl without an SEC team. It is unclear how the league would pick which "pool of six" bowl didn't get an SEC team under this scenario though.

Pope's pronouncements making trouble for Republican Catholics
Francis may be popular with the general public, but key GOP primary constituencies are wary.
By Ben Schreckinger
May 24, 2015	8:00 pm
Catholic Republicans are developing a pope problem. Earlier this month, Francis recognized Palestinian statehood. This summer, he's going to issue an encyclical condemning environmental degradation. And in September, just as the GOP primary race heats up, Francis will travel to Washington to address Congress on climate change.
Francis may be popular with the general public, but key Republican primary constituencies — hawks, climate-change skeptics and religious conservatives, including some Catholics, are wary of the pope's progressivism. Some, pronouncing themselves "Republicans first and Catholics second," even say they would look askance at a candidate perceived to hew too closely to the bishop of Rome. This internal conflict flips a familiar script, in which Democrats like John Kerry and Joe Biden were labeled "cafeteria Catholics" when their stances on social issues like abortion and gay marriage differed from those of the church.
"In northwest Iowa, we are discussing this a great deal, and sometimes it's hard for us to reconcile the pronouncements we read from the Holy Father with our conservative principles," said Sam Clovis, a Catholic and political activist who's run for US Senate and state treasurer in Iowa.
Jeb Bush — who praised the pontiff in a commencement speech at Liberty University this month — could lose out in the Iowa caucus, said Clovis. "It's going to cause a lot of problems for Jeb Bush, because Republicans are simply not going to take him seriously," he said.
Bush declined to address whether his admiration for the pope might affect how religious conservatives view him. In his speech at Liberty he said, "I cannot think of any more subversive moral idea ever loosed on the world than 'the last shall be first, and the first last.'
"It's a voice like no other," he continued, "seen in the example of Francis the saint, or of Francis the pope."
The other Catholic Republicans in the presidential conversation have taken their own wary approaches to Francis.
Louisiana Gov. Bobby Jindal, who often touts his religious conservatism, has also embraced Francis but sidestepped his apparent differences of opinion with the pope on matters like evolution and the Big Bang. Francis has said that both theories are compatible with Catholicism. But Jindal would not say when asked last year whether the pope's statement altered his support for a bill that would allow Louisiana schools to teach creationism.
Florida Sen. Marco Rubio and former Pennsylvania Sen. Rick Santorum, meanwhile, have worked to draw a distinction between the pope's authoritative declarations of Catholic belief, which they would feel compelled to follow, and his mere opinions, which they don't consider binding. Earlier this month, Rubio said that as a political leader, he had a responsibility to oppose a diplomatic thaw with Cuba, even though the pope had signaled his support for it.
In January, Santorum said he was agitated by the pope's "off the cuff" remarks about Catholics not needing to "breed like rabbits" but that he would continue to heed Francis when "he speaks as the leader of the Catholic Church." New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie has remained uncharacteristically quiet on Francis, though one of his closest political allies, Catholic billionaire Ken Langone, has complained publicly about the pope's statements on capitalism and inequality.
As the pope prepares to launch a global lobbying campaign in favor of climate action and a tour of the US that will include an address to Congress made at the invitation of House Speaker John Boehner (R-Ohio), Catholic Republicans have some advice for their fellow Catholics in the GOP field: The candidates can continue to honor Francis' religious authority while safely disregarding his "political opinion."
"If I were Jeb Bush, I would say, 'Look, I don't think we need to have governmental action to solve this problem. This is a problem, and individuals can make their own decisions to reduce their carbon footprints,'" said conservative Catholic economist Stephen Moore, a fellow at the Heritage Foundation and critic of Francis' views on climate change and capitalism.
"As a Catholic, you always read what the pope has to say, but this would not have to do with faith and morals," Rep. Peter King (R-N.Y.) said of Francis' looming push on climate change. "This would be a political opinion by the pope, or even a scientific opinion. … The pope is no more qualified on that then he is when he says you have to recognize the Palestinians."
But the distinction between the pope's moral authority and mere political opinion will get harder to draw this summer when Francis' forthcoming encyclical is expected to make environmental protection and shielding the poor from the effects of climate change a matter of church doctrine.
"Obviously, when it comes to science, the pope is not infallible. Galileo proved that," said Thomas Reese, a Jesuit priest and Washington-based analyst for the National Catholic Reporter, though he noted that Francis did earn a master's degree in chemistry before entering the seminary. "When it comes to, however, the question of the impact of climate change on humanity, this is a moral issue. We're talking about death and destruction on an apocalyptic scale."
Reese said the optics of the pope's congressional address could get awkward. "I think it's going to be hilarious," he said. "What's going to happen when Pope Francis says, 'You should welcome the immigrants. You should take care of global warming.' I mean what are the Republicans going to do? Because the Democrats are going to jump and applaud. Are the Republicans just going to sit on their hands?"
Mike McCarron served as executive director of the Florida Conference of Catholic Bishops during Bush's tenure as governor and Rubio's tenure as speaker of the Florida House. "It would be my expectation that both of them are going to have a lot of respect for Pope Francis. Both of them regard their Catholic faith very seriously. When I interacted with them, it was very clear that it was important to them."
And while Rubio has always maintained a respectful tone, he criticized the pope's support for the US' diplomatic rapprochement with Cuba, saying in December: "I would also ask His Holiness to take up the cause of freedom and democracy." "The pope is a shepherd of a faith. … He's not a political figure," Rubio said at the Council on Foreign Relations earlier this month. Santorum has been even blunter, remarking in January, "It's sometimes very difficult to listen to the pope and some of the things he says off the cuff."
But Bush has praised the pope's style of public engagement. The former Florida governor told National Review last month that Francis' attitude could "absolutely" help Catholics in public life. "I do think he can help change the conversation. Because right now, it's just full of land mines," said Bush.
Like so much else about Bush, his embrace of Francis places him in sync with a majority of Americans but at odds with large swaths of the Republican primary electorate. Seventy percent of Americans view Francis favorably, as do 90 percent of American Catholics, an approval rating that rivals his now-sainted predecessor John Paul II, according to a February survey by the Pew Research Center.
Clovis, for one, predicts that as Francis becomes more visible in American politics, his fellow conservative Catholics will put party above church. "Rather than being Catholic Republicans, they're going to be Republicans first and Catholics second," he said. "If Bush vocally and loudly aligns himself with the pope, that's a general election strategy, that's not a primary strategy."
But for Bush, a devout convert, it may not be a strategy at all. "That's the thing about Jeb Bush," said Moore. "This wasn't a political calculation for him. I think there's a heartfelt belief that this pope is really spreading Catholic faith around the world."

Though there are many similarities when it comes to raising boys and girls, not everything is the same. This is definitely true when it comes to bedwetting, boys are more likely to wet the bed than girls. This article goes through the key differences when approaching bedwetting with a boy.
Though there are many similarities when it comes to raising boys and girls, not everything is the same. In the bathroom, of course, there's the obvious difference that boys stand to pee and girls sit. And boys often take longer to potty train than girls—it's just the way things are!
The same holds true for bedwetting, where boys are more likely to wet the bed than girls. Parents know that maturity and time are the keys to getting through this period in your little boy's life. Know that, like many childhood milestones, all-night dryness will happen and you'll all sleep better and through the night soon.
The National Association for Continence (NAFC) notes that bedwetting can occur from a delay in learning two things: the signal from the brain to the bladder to relax it and hold more urine, and the signal from the bladder to the brain that it is full, alerting the body to wake up.
For kids, learning to use the bathroom before they go to bed may be able to reduce their nighttime wetting. Encourage your son to develop this habit, just as you would encourage him to brush his teeth and wash his hands. Even if he forgets, products like GoodNites® NightTime Underwear provide targeted coverage for bedwetting so he can still sleep soundly.
Wetting the bed can be a source of embarrassment, anxiety, and stress. As a parent, you feel you should make sure your son doesn't feel bad about his bedwetting. It's a developmental phase of childhood that he shouldn't be worried about as he's enjoying growing up.
When accidents happen, parents can quickly change the bed, try to not make a big deal of it, and advise their other children not to make fun of their sibling. But what about friends or peers who may not be aware of the night wetting?
Kids can be notorious teasers, and your son may feel ashamed if he's mocked by his peers for wetting the bed. Some boys may avoid sleepovers or overnight trips because of it, even though they are a rite of childhood that he would likely love being a part of.
There's no need for him to skip the fun if you make some advance preparations. Laura Richards, the Massachusetts mother of a longtime bedwetter, had a great idea for helping her son when she couldn't be there to assist.
Laura says her son struggled when sleepovers started for his peer group. "He would panic about them and often decline invitations or skip the sleepover part," she says. That all changed when, with her son's permission, she enlisted his best friend's parents to help.
But if your son doesn't want other people to know about his nighttime wetting, there are other ways you can show your support. You may have him put an extra pair of GoodNites® at the bottom of his sleeping bag or somewhere in the bathroom for a quick change, just in case.
Try to spend less time worrying about nighttime wetting, and shift focus to the joy of watching your boy grow up instead. GoodNites®, the #1 nighttime underwear, are there to keep him dry as he continues to develop.
• HealthyChildren.org, powered by the American Association of Pediatrics (AAP), states that in two population studies, boys were about 6 months behind girls when it came to potty training. This may influence boys' likelihood to wet the bed.
• Know that, for most children, bedwetting gradually stops as their bodies mature. Almost all kids have outgrown bedwetting by the time they're teens.
• Try to show your support and love rather than frustration when it comes to your son's nighttime wetting. Remember: he's not bedwetting on purpose!
• Be patient; this too shall pass.

Sports The Road to Rio: Clearing Barriers, Cabral '12 Aims For Strong Olympic Performance
By Dave Hunter '72
Published in the May 11, 2016 Issue
After a strong 2015 season, Donn Cabral '12 is a leading Olympic-team contender in the steeplechase.
Kirby Lee/USA TODAY Sports
For promising track and field collegians, it is often difficult to make a transition from attentive, multi-faceted university support to the often-solitary existence of a professional athlete. On the track and off, the better athletes ultimately make the necessary adjustments.
Donn Cabral '12 has been one of those better athletes — though the path has not always been smooth. Few Ivy League athletes have had careers that compare with the spectacular résumé Cabral built while at Princeton. As a senior, the nine-time All-American was named the Outstanding Male Competitor at the Penn Relays after he anchored the Tigers to come-from-behind victories in two key relays. He also set an NCAA 3,000-meter steeplechase record at 8:19.14; captured the NCAA title in the same event; earned a steeplechase berth on the U.S. Olympic team; and reached the steeplechase final at the London Games, finishing a very respectable eighth.
But after the Olympics, the newly signed Nike athlete confronted some challenges that thwarted his ongoing improvement. His move to Washington state to pair up with his former high school coach resulted in a drastic lifestyle change that left him feeling alone and unsupported. "I had no thesis to write. I had no paper to study for. I had no meetings to go to," Cabral explains. "It was just 'run fast, work hard, and recover.' That was all I did. And I kind of went stagnant a little bit mentally."
Cabral later developed a mysterious illness, finally diagnosed as Lyme disease. After regaining his health, he new he had to make a change. "I realized that I was unsatisfied and a little bit unhappy where I was," he says. "And once the running was gone, I just realized that I needed to do something different."
Cabral moved back to the East Coast to join the New Jersey/New York Track Club in the fall of 2013. His return gave him teammates, training partners, and the support system he had lacked — and that proved to be the missing ingredient for his renewed success. After finishing third in the outdoor national steeplechase final the next summer, Cabral returned to the nationals in 2015 and finished second while setting an eye-catching personal best — 8:13.37, a mark that ranks him as the seventh-fastest American ever in the event. "That 6-second improvement was the first time I had [set a personal record] in the steeplechase since May of my senior year," Cabral notes.
His restored progression has rekindled his optimism about this Olympic year. "The best approach for me is to call upon my really good ability to focus intently on something for a long period of time," says Cabral, who clocked an indoor flat 3,000-meter personal record of 7:47.18 in February's Millrose Games.
"I am now clearly ready to commit myself fully to be an Olympian again," he says. "This year I don't want to just survive. Olympic years happen only once every four years, and nothing is guaranteed. So I have to do a better job of taking advantage of it. I want to be able to go escape and put in a ton more training and really have two big periods of focus: Qualify for the Olympics, and do something really big there."

Be-Bop Deluxe war eine britische Progressive-Rock-Gruppe der 1970er Jahre. Der Stil der Band reichte vom Glam Rock über Pop bis hin zum Heavy Metal.

Geschichte
Be-Bop Deluxe wurde 1972 vom Gitarristen Bill Nelson in Wakefield, West Yorkshire, gegründet. Die weiteren Gründungsmitglieder waren Gitarrist Ian Parkin, Bassist und Sänger Robert Bryan und Schlagzeuger Nicholas Chatterton-Dew. 1974 erschien ihr Album Axe Victim, dessen Stil mit David Bowies Glam Rock verglichen wurde. Wenig später löste Nelson die Gruppe auf, um sie mit anderen Musikern neu aufzubauen.

Die neue Besetzung bestand neben Nelson aus Paul Jeffreys (Bass), Milton Reame-James (Keyboard) und Simon Fox (Schlagzeug). Jeffreys und Reame-James verließen die Band jedoch bald wieder, und es kam der Bassist Charlie Tumahai. Diese Formation nahm das Album Futurama auf. Zur anschließenden Tour kam der Keyboarder Andy Clark dazu, mit dem die Gruppe auch die weiteren Alben aufnahm, die alle in den britischen Charts erfolgreich waren. Die höchste Position erreichte 1977 das Live-Album Live! In The Air Age – es stieg bis auf Platz 10. Im Jahr zuvor hatte die Band mit Ships in the Night auf Platz 23 eine überraschende Hit-Single. 1978 löste sich die Band endgültig auf.

mmmmmm....... is it time to unwind my head....NOW??????
shall I send myself to unwind by the waterfall????
orrrrrr.... pretend angel by the beach????
......for me to go for another unwind trip before I really go crazy and do things I am not suppose to do????
yeah! decided.... after next 2 weeks will be going for extreme sport adventure!huhuhuhu i am so ambitious!
hi rina, how are you, have a great time by the sea.. happy swimming too. i am back to blogging.
welcome back! oh not yet wan... i will be going off in 2 weeks time...hohohoho can't wait!


The most exciting of these is our very first excursion to London. We'll be playing alongside The Makeshifts and B.O.Y. at Bar Wotever on Tuesday 29th May. Come along for a queer old time!
We've also added some new photos and a couple of live recordings (with more hopefully to come).
There are now actually things to see and do on this site! We've updated the "live" page, added pictures and videos, and tentatively launched the beginnings of a directory of active riot grrrl acts in the UK. Expect a couple of live recordings (of considerably better quality than the videos) and the first issue of our zine to follow soon.


A few weeks ago, I wrote a post called "Google is Shaking Things Up" where I reviewed some of the major changes Google has implemented in 2010, including the new focus on local search. Google's furious pace of changes is being easily matched by Facebook, as the two tech titans are squaring off in an epic battle that will be one to watch, the missing gmail import skirmish perhaps a taste of things to come.
2010 is the year that Facebook came out from its walled garden, it's no longer just a destination site that you hang out in, now Facebook is out and about in the wild. It started with the April announcement of a partnership with Yelp, Pandora, and other sites to share your data with those sites via a feature called "instant personalization". Later I started noticing that you could use your Facebook login details to log into meetup.com, among other sites.
But what really got Facebook out into the Internet wild was the "Like/Recommend" buttons that was a hit with many websites. Corporations rightly realized this was a way to get site visitors to spread the word about their messaging and web content among their friends and the buttons were adopted like wildfire. The premise is core to the basic Facebook philosophy, in that people trust referrals from friends above all else. Contrast this with the Google philosophy, which is about discovering what is popular and authoritative in the websphere and getting that in front of the searcher.
If you are interested in adding the "Like" or "Recommend" Facebook buttons (there is no difference between the two), first read through this problogger post that might help you decide whether they are right for your website. The post pushed adding the Facebook like button to this blog further down my todo list as testing showed that tech topics tend to do better on Twitter than on Facebook.
The latest from Facebook is Facebook messaging. Facebook users have always been able to message one and other privately, the new feature takes that one step further with the addition of an externally available email address that matches your username, and also by interweaving your chats and texts into one central place . This is a shot across gmail's bow (even with the recently introduced "priority" feature) and it could be a category killer impacting yahoo and hotmail as well. I wonder what it will mean to the email marketers, as facebook messaging prioritizes messages from your friends above any emails you get by being on a list.
Have you registered for your @facebook.com email account yet? It's being rolled out in phases, but you can register now at: www.facebook.com/about/messages/. (I wonder, will having a gmail account delay or hasten the time I get my invitation?) Otherwise you can wait until a "Claim Your Facebook email" link shows up in your Messages view.
I love this — it is war!! Goliath Google against David-esque Facebook….I am excited to see what else is up their sleeves??
I find all this very exciting too. I've had the like button on my blog for a while and it gets used quite a bit.I have registered for the email account as Facebook is by far my favorite social networking site but I have gmail too so I'll be interested to see if they roll those out early to entice us away – hehe.
I'm still a little bit confused by the Facebook email. Is it simply a tool to consolidate all things Facebook, or is it one more email to manage that replaces a yahoo or hotmail account? Oh well, I'm sure I'll figure it out. Informative blog.
It appears to be "one more" email account to replace yahoo or hotmail. The difference is that you can have chats and texts interweaved with email in your inbox (similar to gmail chat), and that your friends get priority treatment. Hope that helps, we will find out more when we can get our hands on it!.
WOW– Thanks for the info and comparison! This is all so interesting to me. I'll register as well for my facebook messaging and see if gmail accounts do in fact get put on the back burner;)Facebook is my social media of choice as well for both personal and business.
sigh, oh my! For me I definitely do not want a facebook e-mail account….but I do like the idea of the "like" button on my blog site. I'll have to check it out for sure. I use like all the time to let people know I stopped by and like something they posted with out having to take the time to leave a comment. Does liking a blog post help position the blog the same way comments do on google?
Sounds as though Facebook is hijacking the entire internet. I really do not want yet another email account to manage. Thanks for the info.
I have to say I am a little perplexed and confused by all the changes going on in the internet world, and hope someone can sit me down and explain and help me know what I should use and what I don't need! So glad people like you are up on all of this and can share it with the rest of us that wouldn't know otherwise!
Liking a blog post doesn't help with ranking with Google, at least not directly, but it does drive more traffic to that blog. And some of that new traffic might link to the blog which does help.
Thanks for telling me that what I write helps! The challenge with technology is that there are usually multiple ways to get something done. Here's how I approach it: Always start with a business reason for what you want to get done … that fits in an overall strategy .. then look for the technology solution that fits!
Totally educational both your post and the comments. Not sure I would want a facebook e-mail account I'm overwhelmed with the one I have already.
Sigh, I'm with Irene. I'm so sick of facebook. I really don't like posting personal things on it, and I don't like the closed system it's trying to hook us into. I have a fan page mainly because I'm told I have too. I like being out in the big google blog world much better. I won't use facebook email.
Line me up with the people who don't want another e-mail and wish there weren't such a moving target with all the changes. I do appreciate learning more about the Like button, which I want to add. But I'm not rushing to do messaging or anything else grand with Facebook. Of course, ultimately we all will have to be willing to adapt and change, because that's the nature of the social media world!
I do get the feeling that FB is trying to be all things to all people, which could be a mistake. You can't blame them for trying, tho.
I loved this post. It's great to have this ready comparison in an easy-to-understand manner. I'm gradually working my way through things, trying them out and enjoying having little successes here and there. Thanks a lot!
I definately don't need another email account, I have my main one and then a gmail account for when I have to register with an account, or any time I have to provide an email address that is not connected to my main business. I check my gmail account much less frequently, but it keeps my main mailbox free of clutter which I greatly appreciate. It has been a great time saver.
I always look forward to new Facebook applications and capabilities. How far I have traveled from that day nearly two years ago when I reluctantly signed up for Facebook — and now I am completely addicted. Great to hear about what is around the bend!
Not really seeing the necessity of the FB email…it does really "feel" like FB is "out in the wild" and they ARE wild. It takes me awhile to wrap my head around things, so I'll wait and listen then decide.
I love all the exciting energy involved in new creation and design no matter the medium. Google has to make way for the new kid on the block, its the wild web wars. I like the like button and all the advantages therein. I will probably land up with facebook email since it makes sense when connecting with people on facebook.
Email is almost a dinosaur at this point in many ways.
Fierce over 50, lover of travel, blogging, the internet, beer & wings and Life!
I'm one of those rare individuals that doesn't use gmail or yahoo for email. I can see the opportunity Facebook has to expand it's influence by integrating email but don't really understand how it is any different than the direct messages. It will be interesting to see how it all unfolds. Thanks for keeping track and reporting back.
Yes, I thought about mentioning that, FB is definitely planning to take on Google with it's search (which is already there, look at the top of your page). Each "like" whether inside or outside of facebook gets noted by FB search so that it can provide search results tailored to your interests.
BTW, did you notice the new draggable FB button you can put on your browser bookmark bar?
This is so much fun being an observer while everyone is coming up with all these brilliant ideas. Whether they work or not is always a question, but what fun watching it all unfold.
Thanks Kathy Alice for another great explanation of the world of the internet. What do you personally think? Are you going to use the new email? For what purpose? At some point, will it ever stop?
Initially I am not planning to use facebook email extensively.
However I go where my clients and audience go, so if is a big success, then I will be there as well.

Leader of DDoS-for-Hire Gang Pleads Guilty to Bomb Threats
A 19-year-old man from the United Kingdom who headed a cybercriminal group whose motto was "Feds Can't Touch Us" pleaded guilty this week to making bomb threats against thousands of schools.
On Aug. 31, officers with the U.K.'s National Crime Agency (NCA) arrested Hertfordshire resident George Duke-Cohan, who admitted making bomb threats to thousands of schools and a United Airlines flight traveling from the U.K. to San Francisco last month.
One of many tweets from the attention-starved Apophis Squad, which launched multiple DDoS attacks against KrebsOnsecurity and Protonmail over the past few months.
Duke-Cohan — a.k.a. "7R1D3N7," "DoubleParallax" and "Optcz1" — was among the most vocal members of a group of Internet hooligans that goes by the name "Apophis Squad," which for the better part of 2018 has been launching distributed denial-of-service (DDoS) attacks against multiple Web sites, including KrebsOnSecurity and Protonmail.com.
Incredibly, all self-described members of Duke-Cohan's clique were active users of Protonmail, even as they repeatedly attacked its servers and taunted the company on social media.
"What we found, combined with intelligence provided by renowned cyber security journalist Brian Krebs, allowed us to conclusively identify Duke-Cohan as a member of Apophis Squad in the first week of August, and we promptly informed law enforcement," Protonmail wrote in a blog post published today. "British police did not move to immediately arrest Duke-Cohan however, and we believe there were good reasons for that. Unfortunately, this meant that through much of August, ProtonMail remained under attack, but due to the efforts of Radware, ProtonMail users saw no impact."
The DDoS-for-hire service run by Apophis Squad listed their members.
On Aug. 9, 2018, the attention-seeking Apophis Squad claimed on their Twitter account that flight UAL 949 had been grounded due to their actions.
"In a recording of one of the phone calls which was made while the plane was in the air, he takes on the persona of a worried father and claims his daughter contacted him from the flight to say it had been hijacked by gunmen, one of whom had a bomb," the NCA said of Duke-Cohan's actions in a press release on Sept. 4. "On arrival in San Francisco the plane was the subject of a significant security operation in a quarantined area of the airport. All 295 passengers had to remain on board causing disruption to onward journeys and financial loss to the airline."
The Apophis Squad modeled itself after the actions of the Lizard Squad, another group of e-fame seeking online hoodlums who also ran a DDoS-for-hire service, called in bomb threats to airlines, DDoSed this Web site repeatedly and whose members were nearly all subsequently arrested and charged with various cybercrimes. Indeed, the Apophis Squad's Web site and DDoS-for-hire service is hosted on the same Internet server used by a handful of other domains that were tied to the Lizard Squad.
Unsophisticated but otherwise time-wasting and annoying groups like Apophis Squad are a dime a dozen. But as I like to say, each time my site gets attacked by one of them two things usually happen not long after: Those responsible get arrested, and I get at least one decent story out of it. And if Protonmail is right, there are additional charges on the way.
"We believe further charges are pending, along with possible extradition to the US," the company said. "In recent weeks, we have further identified a number of other individuals engaged in attacks against ProtonMail, and we are working with the appropriate authorities to bring them to justice."

Keep up the great work Brian!
And some great credit to the excellent Google Project Shield team for helping you to keep doing what you do.
I also greatly appreciate your work and literally stop my work just to read yours every time I see a new post in my inbox. Thanks for all you do!

Bomb threats, now that always works to seek the wrong type of attention for yourself. LOL

I don't know what's up with these child hackers these days. Brian literally wrote the book on this stuff, he seems like the last person you'd want to taunt.
One thought I had when I saw the taunting Twitter(?) posts at the top of the story: It is nice when the shoe is on the other foot. That is, when the good guys only have to get lucky once but the bad guys have to get lucky every time or else they get taken down.
Good story, but a question about the last paragraph:
Extradiction of a UK citizen from the UK to the US?
A quick google on these keywords only shows people that won appeals in court not to be extradicted. Committing internet crime from the uk is a fellony as well and he probably will get convicted for that, UK prisons are not known for their "hospitality", so spending a few months or years in there sounds like a good enough punishment
I hope they mean once the UK government is done with him, they'll extradite to do the time for the US crimes.
I highly doubt the U.S would work to extradite someone already being prosecuted in U.K. Among other things, it messes with international relationships.
What's the point, after all?
It does happen. Roger Alan Giese [1] was extradited to the US. The query [2] that ended up baring fruit in case you want to find others (I went through a couple of variations).

Brian, is the "Apophis" reference in their squad name directed toward the 'Stargate' baddie (or his real-world Egyptian-god persona) for any particular reason within their particular screed or raison d'être?

Young talent wasted, we can only lament and keep watching with shields up.

I'm not sure I'd call DDoSing or prank phone calls "talent".
I wouldn't say any of these attacks are skilled.
I would say that If someone finds a particular way to conduct an attack that is DIFFERENT then they are skilled or say they find a way to do it on a large scale etc.

"British police did not move to immediately arrest Duke-Cohan however, and we believe there were good reasons for that."
What good reasons could those be?
Collecting more evidence?
I don't know specifically but it is a tactic that can be used in cyber cases.
There's more to this story than DDoS-ing websites, and that aspect of it has not been mentioned in the UK reports of his arrest and court appearance.
George Duke-Cohan appeared in Luton Magistrates Court on September 3rd and pleaded guilty to three counts of issuing hoax bomb threats. One of those charges related to the United Airlines flight to San Francisco. He will be sentenced on the 21st at Luton Crown Court, so he can expect a prison sentence of more than 12 months – the maximum he would have received if sentencing had been passed at the Magistrates Court.
Two of those three charges against him were for bomb hoaxes sent to a large number of schools in the UK, and one charge also covers hoaxes sent to schools in the US. Unless further charges are brought against him on the 21st before he is sentenced, the issue of attacking websites is being ignored. Now that, perhaps, leaves open the possibility of the FBI making a request for extradition either before he starts a prison sentence in the UK, or on his release.
What is incredible about this saga is that when he was arrested on August 31st for the airline bomb hoax it was the third time the police here had had him in custody. He has been under some sort of surveillance since the end of March, and must have known it. Since April this young fool has been banned from accessing the internet or using mobile phones – "using digital technology" – but he still carried blithely on with his disruptive behaviour, presumably while being monitored by the police.
The first reported wave of bomb hoaxes to schools – all in the UK – were on March 19th. At the time the Sun newspaper reported having spoken to Duke-Cohan, who said that the bomb threats had sprung from a feud between Minecraft users and that he expected to be arrested soon. He was, two days later, but was soon released on bail.
Less than a week later came another wave of bomb threats to schools in the UK – and also this time in the US – and Duke-Cohan was arrested again a few days later for sending these threats. This is when he was banned from using any digital devices.
There were more waves of bomb hoaxes sent to UK schools on 13th April, 8th May and 26th June. There were similarities to Duke-Cohan's previous hoaxes but these later episodes were not included in the charges against him so I leave that one open to speculation.
There is also here the question of "Apophis". Supposedly this is a collective, and the UA bomb hoax was claimed in the name of Apophis. But the third of the charges against Duke-Cohan implies that he alone was responsible, and he has certainly pleaded guilty as the person solely responsible. The Apophis Twitter account also went dead at the time he was arrested. So are there more members of Apophis? If so I would expect more arrests to have followed by now; I haven't seen reports of any more.
What I did see was a report that after the March bomb hoaxes three people were arrested. I haven't seen anything more than that – no names, no follow-up. There were also reports at the time that suggested someone in the US was involved in sending the hoaxes, but again there's been nothing more said.
We're left with a few questions. Why didn't the police move more quickly against Duke-Cohan in August? Perhaps they were waiting to get evidence against other people. Why didn't they charge him for sending the March bomb hoaxes after arresting him twice? That looks as if they were using him as bait to catch bigger fish, but if that's what were hoping for it seems to have failed. And was Duke-Cohan behind the April, May and June bomb hoaxes and if he was, why wasn't he charged with them?
A rather unsatisfying conclusion to this one. I bet his lawyer pleads autism or Asperger's or bi-polar disorder and gets a reduced sentence. They all seem to try that one now, and it usually works – even when extradition is involved.
LeeHamm
Some good details, here. I would say be careful when using the 'Sun' and 'newspaper' in the same phrase.
That's the upsetting thing about this whole saga. The UK is so lenient on cybercriminals with alleged autism that they let them out over and over again, and they re-offend. And they will ignore complaints from companies like Protonmail until this kid attacks a plane and they can't ignore it any longer.
Get your fucking act together, UK. If you want to be compassionate, fine, but this is not compassion.
And I'll bet there will be the same contingent of activists campaigning to prevent this ass hat's extradition to the USA too. Lauri Love 2.0, anyone?

GREAT work Brian! I love your posts!
"Duke-Cohan — a.k.a. "7R1D3N7," "DoubleParallax" and "Optcz1""
DoubleParallax is a different person.
Why targeting Protonmail ?
Mahhn
I suspect since they were customers themselves, it was to throw the trail off of themselves. Who would attack their own mail source – an idiot lol
For the same reason that kids vandalize their own schools and religious buildings: familiarity with the target and a challenge to what they consider authority.
I recall the Protonmail attack. However, there was an easy workaround for those with Tor, Brave, or other browser capable of accessing onion sites. Use Protonmail's onion site at https://protonirockerxow.onion/login. For some reason, onion sites are not susceptible to DDoS attacks. I don't understand why Protonmail and others did not advise users to do this during the attack. After all, that was one of the reasons Protonmail created the onion site in the first place.
Because some tor end nodes are compromised and these could lead to a loss of security.
It wouldn't matter if an end node is compromised. The session is end to end encrypted. And if you are using 2FA, it would be doubly impossible to compromise your account using the onion site. The only thing a compromised end node would see is that an intermediate node is connected to Proton Mail. They would not see your session, your IP address, or anything else of value. Moreover, if there was a chance that an onion address could be less secure, Proton Mail wouldn't even offer it.

Ignorance and arrogance will always get you into trouble…
Interesting read. A smart young man, trying to bully others for no reason. Sounds familiar. No moral compass. Durn. But, trying to get noticed by someone for a reason. Like others, I am interested in the why did he do it? Attention, fame, or money?
Asside from it being a crime, there usually is no monetary fine to be paid to the victiums. And the victiums have lost value by service interruptions unknown to them. A sale delayed, is business lost. A ad not seen is business lost, a ad delayed, the same. I would wonder, how long till enforcement considers that in the punishment?
Like I said elsewhere, those who laugh last, laugh best. Good job!
The Times has published a picture of Mr. Duke-Cohan being arrested. It is a treasure. The picture was provided by the National Crime Agency so the letters NCA figure prominently in the foreground and Mr. Duke-Cohan in the background.
No knowledge in these guys what so ever. All they did was use public sources to obtain power that any other stresser can do. I dont understand why you would waste your time writing an article on a bunch of nonsense no brained kids. If you truly want to write a good article message @SlayKings.io

I thought TeOz rooted them all and exposed them all ages ago?

Lol @ BK hyperlinking himself in his own article.
🙂 nicely done
Thank you! I lost a day of work because of these attention seeking clowns. I didn't have any high hopes as such cases often end up with blaming russians and nothing more (turned out he was not Russian even), knowing that he's already is arrested is actually very satisfying. Justice won. Very good work! Thank you!
Why someine with this kind of skills and knowledge will do this ?? Why people waste their time talent and skills to do some nonsense actions ?? With this skills and knowledge you could much better and legit things !!
Now the big question is why people with high skills and knowledge do all the grazy things ?
Why they commit so much evil ? Why not use their knowledhe and skills for good purpose for the world??
All this botnet makers they just waste their talent time and their lifes ! Eaither way they will be busted one way or other.
Even if they use cryptocurrency since its internet everything can traced, and law enforcement will threat the exchangers to give up information about abusers.
There is no hiding in this world everyone know what everybody doing. Your actions are so visible and there no privacy at all. Never had and never will.
To continue if you use cryptocurrency you either way have to transfer this funds to somewhere, so claimed private exchangers will not risk with the prison the law enfircement will knock they door and ask to give information.
If they dont cooperate then they will be the ones who will take punishment. Its 100% sure thrre is no way you can commit crime without leaving any trace !!
The law enforcement will catch you always even if you hide in russia or china no mattter !!
They will get you anyways i still dont undestood how people can be so stupid to do stupid things and they feel they vant be touched !!
Brian this is your job to tell criminals the same what i tell here.
Do not commit crime !!
Its illusion of wealth or money money will be taken from any criminal from the proceeds of crime !!
If you choose to lounder your money in some dirty business then your money will be taken from other criminals.
This is truth !!
IA Eng
two words for the good guy(s) : Great job !
two works for the bad guys: Script Kiddies !
The only issue I have with Brian's account of this case is his categorization that Duke-Cohan is a "19-year-old man". His actions clearly indicate his is still a child.
You must be a child as well for not knowing proper grammar.
Masta Yoda
i wonder why little teenie-boppers would try to hit such a hardened target as Krebs. Isn't it obvious they're guppies playing around with the leviathan that's going to gobble them up. Crazy!!!
Amateur hour. He must have realised he would be caught surely?


Another great success for RECARO Automotive Seating: For the fifth time in a row the brand won first place at the renowned ETM-Verlag readers' choice "Best Brand 2017". Around 11,400 readers of the magazines "trans aktuell", "lastauto omnibus" and "Fernfahrer" made a clear decision.
With more than 50 percent of votes and an amazing 51 percentage lead over second place this year's results are the largest winning margin of the past ten years for RECARO Automotive Seating. That is a great display of trust in in the premium products of the commercial vehicle seat manufacturer.
According to the motto "The fascination of classic cars" more than 200 vehicles, including motorcycles and commercial vehicles, are on display all around the city center of Kaiserslautern. A special highlight will be a city tour in the original bus of the football world champions of 1954. On the area of TÜV Rheinland there will also be a tractor exhibition.
As a part of the event the 6th "ADAC Rallye-Trifels-Historic" will give the opportunity to see the polished and restored gems in action. Starting June 16th already, about 160 vehicles are participating. The three-stage, 250-kilometer route will run through Germany's Western Palatinate region. First stop: the Technical Center of RECARO Automotive Seating on the Hertelsbrunnenring in Kaiserslautern, where a time-stamp station and the RECARO Automotive Seating promotion vehicle will await the racers. There they will get their stamp as well as a small give-away. Highlight: at the time-stamp station there will be the original RECARO O.N.S Porsche 914/6 GT on display. In 1972, RECARO equipped the O.N.S. Safety Team car with an array of safety systems and a fire-extinguishing device and offered it as "the world's fastest fire engine". The fundamental idea was to save the lives of drivers involved in accidents right on the racetrack through rapid fire fighting and immediate rescue and medical treatment.
At this year's European Truck Racing Championship, RECARO Automotive Seating is supporting Team S.L. Trucksport 30. With mother Silvia Lenz as its leader and son Sascha at the wheel of the 1,000-horsepower MAN truck, the team is a true "family business". Thirty-year-old Sascha Lenz has been competing in European championships since 2015. This year, he is enjoying the support of RECARO Automotive Seating for the first time, seated in a Pro Racer SPG racing shell.
He has a quick answer for what fascinates him about truck racing and what drives him: a passion for racing, the incomparable atmosphere on and off the track, and, of course, the incentive to become European champion. It's an ambitious objective that the amiable chap from Germany's Eifel region is keen to pursue together with his team. His goals for this year's EM are thus to finish among the top five and perhaps even take the team title with Stephanie Halm. The second weekend of racing in Misano, which put them second in the team ranking, is an indication that they may be on course to accomplish the latter goal.
Shortly before the race, the tension is rising. One thing Lenz needs then is, of course, a kiss from wife Kristina. And second: Rammstein or AC/DC good and loud just before the start. But, for the sake of a happier mood, Helene Fischer tunes are permitted in the workshop. When asked for an insider tip, and about his formula for success, Lenz made an important point: It's all about team spirit. "When the work you do is no fun, you won't like doing it. And if you don't like doing it, you won't give it your all," he remarked.
For Sascha and his team, giving their all means already planning mentally for the next race while packing up after a weekend of racing. What can we do better? What are our weaknesses? "Once you catch this fever to win, you never lose it." Said like a true-blooded racer.

Artificial blood vessels developed from jatropha
by piotr | Jun 11, 2010 | General | 0 comments
Artificial Blood vessels from Jatropha? After bio-diesel, this humble tropical weed could now help Indian researchers to indigenously develop blood vessels.
A biodegradable polymer recently developed from Jatropha has attracted researchers from IIT-Madras to work towards a project in this direction. The IITians are not alone. A Thiruvananthapuram-based medical institute Sree Chitra Tirunal Institute for Medical Sciences & Technology (SCTIMST) and a Belgium-based multi-national company have also evinced interest in the polymer developed by a Gujarat-based national research institute.
The Central Salt Marine Chemicals and Research Institute (CSMCRI) located in Bhavnagar district of the state has hit upon a process by which biodegradable polymers can be developed at almost zero-cost using one of the byproducts of Jatropha — a drought-resistant perennial plant that grows even in sandy and saline conditions.
"The technique to create bio-degradable plastic from the recently dis-covered polymers may not remain limited to making bio-degradable polythene bags. The Indian Institute of Technology-Madras has now evinced interest in collaborating with us in developing artificial blood vessels," said Pushpito K Ghosh, director of the institute. The institute has so far been offering its expertise to a number of Indian and foreign automotive manufactures like DaimlerChrysler, General Motors and Mahindra & Mahindra to develop efficient vehicles that run on bio-diesel sourced from Jatropha.
It has also been doing pioneering work in developing bio-diesel from Jatropha. The scientists, however, continued to experiment with one of the by-products crude glycerol and discovered this biodegradable polymer which is believed to have multiple uses in the field of medicine including the development of artificial blood vessels. Such artificial blood vessels generally comprises of a woven, braided or knitted fabric structure. They are tubes made from synthetic (chemically produced) materials to restore blood circulation. "The polymer could be used in spinning thin hollow fibres which could act as a substitute for blood vessels," Mr Ghosh said.
The polymer was a "relatively inert material" and is biodegradable when left in soil. "The long term degradation of this material is a matter of careful study," he added. A leading cardiac surgeon in Ahmedabad, Dr Apoorva Kanhere says that any material that is being developed as an artificial blood vessel need to be inert and supple. "It should not be thrombogenic (meaning it should not aid the clotting of blood) and it should also be able to withstand the blood pressure," he said.
Synthetic grafts in humans are often required in various vascular by-pass surgeries. Such surgery is done to open blocked arteries in one part of the body by using a vessel from elsewhere in the body. How-ever, up to 40% of patients (especially those who are diabetic) don't have a vessel suitable for the procedure. In such cases, surgeons use synthetic grafts or artificial blood vessels.
While IITians are looking to develop artificial blood vessels, a Kerala-based institute is also looking at possibilities to develop nano particulate systems which could be used in developing medical instruments for targeted delivery of drugs.
The new discovery has also caught the attention of a Belgium-based firm which is looking to jointly collaborate with CSMCRI to commercially develop the bio-polymer on a PPP (Public-Private Partnership) basis. "If negotiations work out, then a joint collaboration with this firm can be forged, Mr Ghosh said. "This will help the discovery to be taken to the second phase which will involve scaling up the production of the polymers from a few grams to kilogram," he added. Eventually, according Mr Ghosh, the third phase of the project at CSMCRI will involve scaling up the production to the tonne-mark.
"We have sent a few grams of the polymer to both the institutes (IIT-Madras and SCTIMST) for preliminary tests," Mr Ghosh said. The success of the polymer has also attracted the country's Department of Science and Technology which has floated a proposal to fund 70% of the project cost, provided the institute has an industry partner who can fund the remaining 30% of the cost.

Frankfort fire under careful watch
Crews continue to stay on the scene of a Frankfort fire as smoke is still emerging.

FRANKFORT, Ind. (WLFI) — Crews continue to stay on the scene of a Frankfort fire as smoke is still emerging.
The Chief of Frankfort Fire Department says they could be out there for days watching over it carefully.
"Out of 37 firefighters we had 35 of them fighting this fire," said Chief of FFD John Kirby.
Flames first started to engulf a garage on the side of the building housing T & R Pet Grooming at 55 W. Washington Street, which is a total loss.
Typically eight firefighters from the Frankfort Fire Department respond to calls, but since this one could have gotten out hand the volunteers were called in and so was the Lebanon Fire Department.
"I mean they helped us tremendously and I can't thank them enough for their helped and their efforts," said Kirby.
Lebanon's efforts were able to keep the structure from falling over. Its ladder truck was able to provide more water to the fire and assist in extinguishing the back of the building.
Other buildings housing two families, a sports club and a mural titled the "History of Frankfort" have also been lost after the morning fire. Officials said it started around 9:30 a.m. Tuesday.
The American Red Cross was dispatched shortly after fire crews arrived. Its job is to alleviate any pain people may be suffering from emergencies.
In this case, two apartments caught fire, but the people living inside did not know to use the aid of the Red Cross.
"We were just standing out here looking at the fire and this gentleman I struck up a conversation with says 'I live there' and I said 'oh well,' so the American Red Cross can obviously help in those situations when anyone has had a fire," said the disaster program specialist Kristina Chapman
The fire quickly spread through the building housing T&R Pet Grooming to the vacant second floor and as firefighters worked to contain the fire, it continued to spread to the next building over. During which, one firefighter was injured and taken to the hospital.
Firefighters on scene said the firefighter who was hurt was Greg Miller, a 30+ year veteran of the department. The firefighters said he was released from IU Health Arnett and is at home recovering after falling through the floor.
"We got in there and we got him out very quickly and our guys did a good job," said Kirby "I'm just really proud of everyone's efforts."
Red Cross also provided financial assistance to the five people without a place to live and it gave water, coffee, snacks and towels to the firefighters.
"It's always great to help our first responders," said Chapman. "It's always great to help the families. Anytime someone needs us we really want to make sure that everyone knows the call the Red Cross."
The nonprofit added neither apartment had a smoke detector even though it does install them for free. More than 4,000 have been installed in Frankfort over the last four years.
While firefighters were able to stop the spread of the flames from reaching the third building, everything in the first and the second are considered losses.
All Frankfort Fire Department shifts were called in to fight the fire.
Indiana's state fire marshall, the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives (ATF) and Frankfort Fire Department are all assisting into the investigation which is currently ongoing.
