What is the City ministry program?
CMP is a training program to develop ministry leaders seeking practical urban ministry skills. Experienced urban ministry practitioners, including Tim Keller, deliver the program through a robust learning community.
The goal is to prepare leaders for urban ministry effectiveness rather than just academic knowledge. To enable this dynamic the learning experience and activities will not be traditional papers but will include reflection on mission experience, development of actual ministry products such as Bible expositions and sermons, ministry tools and plans, pastoral care notebooks, case studies, and so on.
Upon completion participants receive a certification of completion by Redeemer City to City.
The program is designed for those serving in a challenging assignment that requires the development of more skills, character and encouragement from seasoned urban practitioners.
The unique context of New York City with its diversity and complexity requires deeper learning, skill development and breadth of appeal in your ministry to reach your community.
Your training in seminary was not sufficient preparation to develop urban ministry skills. This program covers more extensively these ministry skills and also covers areas often not addressed – helping people integrate their faith & work, preaching persuasively in late modern culture, developing mercy & justice approaches for your community, etc.
What are the MINISTRY AREAS offered?
We help leaders develop in four areas of urban ministry—participants may study only one selected area over one or two semesters or complete all four areas in one to three years.
Preaching teaches how to present Christ persuasively that is faithful to the scriptures and compelling to the context. The modules draw on the vast historic and current resources of faithful biblical exposition, and builds skills in communicating Christ to complex, culturally varied, contemporary urban cultures. Emphasis is given to the skills of gospel-centered preaching, avoiding mere moralism or therapeutic inspiration. Participants preach several sermons that include feedback and coaching.
Mission is for leaders seeking to produce communities of practical gospel impact and covers how to do evangelism and apologetics in late modern culture. Effective urban leaders must intentionally engage with the poor and vulnerable, the skeptic and seeker, and those working in various vocations. This track provides not only strong theological convictions and ministry approaches for engagement in these areas, but the practical tools to lead church ministries.
Pastoral ministry builds the pastor's toolkit, and prepares them to be the spiritual shepherds of their church. Skills taught include depth in the use of scripture for everyday ministry, strategy in designing pastoral care systems for a church, gospel spirituality, pastoral ethics, and the pastor's spiritual life. Topics include the biblical foundations for worship in its design, creativity and cultural practice in a community. Students will learn counseling skills such as interviewing, listening, and assessing opportunities for Christ-centered guidance. Attention is given to leading congregants through crisis, grief, addiction, and other significant life events.
Leadership develops the skills necessary to shepherd the church as a maturing community and organization. The sessions seek to develop spiritual leaders that serve congregations on mission. Attention is given to biblical principles of strategic planning, setting goals, budgeting and financial ethics, building programs and evaluating ministry. Management style and gifting are explored as well.
If taking all 4 ministry areas, the full program cost is $8,000.
Financial need-based scholarships are available. If interested in a scholarship a completed scholarship application is required.
Each ministry area requires three hours a week of classroom learning and four hours of reading and assignments. A total of seven hours per week for each ministry area.
What does the overall schedule look like?
What are the 3 intensives that are offered?
A comprehensive treatment of how the gospel changes a person, church and community drawing upon the book Center Church. What does it mean to be the church today, in the great global cities of the world or wherever late modern western secularity and pluralization are dominant.
How ecclesiology and theology practically effects how we do ministry today. Realities of the church and ministry; perspectives, features, marks of the church and ministry; functions and objects of the church's ministry; church and models and ministry; church and culture; church and politics.
Biblical theology of the city; understanding NYC, understanding, engaging, and empowering a neighborhood; race, gender, and power; developing practices to thrive in ministry, non-western Christianity.
Completion of all intensive courses is required for the full City Ministry Program certificate - Center Church, Church & Ministry and Urban Ministry.
I still have questions. Can I talk with someone from the City to City team about this?
Of course! Send us an email, and we'll do our best to clear up any lingering questions.

Australian New Zealand News Operations
Operation Render Safe hits Solomon Islands
19/09/2016 26/09/2016 Posted by Brian Hartigan 6271 Views 0 Comments Operation Render Safe, Solomon Islands
Share the post "Operation Render Safe hits Solomon Islands"
The dangers posed by explosive remnants of war in the Solomon Islands will again be tackled with the commencement of Operation Render Safe 16 over the weekend.
The annual ADF-led Operation Render Safe deployment is Australia's enduring commitment to the removal of unexploded and abandoned World War II munitions, commonly referred to as explosive remnants of war (ERW), which continue to pose a danger to communities in the South West Pacific.
Operation Render Safe 16 is operating until 7 October, 2016, in three primary areas: Honiara (Guadalcanal Island), Tulaghi (Florida Group) and Yandina (Russell Islands).
Some 120 Australian Defence Force personnel are joined by 40 specialists from New Zealand, Canada and the United Kingdom, with the full cooperation of the Solomon Islands Government and in close partnership with the Royal Solomon Islands Police Force (RSIPF).
Commander Etienne Mulder, Australian Contingent Commander, said the operational deployment held special significance for the personnel involved as they were able to contribute to the safety of people.
"Operation Render Safe is an important real-time undertaking that removes the lethal potential of explosive remnants of war," Commander Mulder said.
"In the Solomon Islands we will achieve this through close cooperation and working side-by-side with RSIPF personnel who possess extensive ERW knowledge and experience.
"We will also be relying heavily on the local communities as they will be the ones with the local knowledge as to the location of ERW.
"Without positive interaction and community support, the mission becomes very difficult."
Commander Joint Forces New Zealand Major General Tim Gall said the Royal New Zealand Navy's diving and mine countermeasures support ship HMNZS Manawanui and an explosive ordnance disposal expert from the New Zealand Army would support the Australian-led operation to clear sites near the capital Honiara and in the nearby Russell and Florida island groups.
"The NZDF is making a significant contribution to the safety of the people in the Solomon Islands through its involvement in this operation," Major General Gall said.
"A similar operation in 2014 cleared 109 sites on the Papua New Guinea island of Bougainville of 2293 ammunition items containing more than 16 tonnes of explosives.
"It involved more than 500 personnel from Australia, the United States, the UK, New Zealand, Canada and the Solomon Islands."
Commander Mulder said ERW disposal went beyond contributing to a safer environment for communities.
"We also provide the opportunity for potential economic prosperity by enabling families and communities access to more land for food cultivation," he said.
"The use of mine-hunting vessels from Australia, a Diving Support Ship from New Zealand and clearance divers will allow us to undertake more underwater clearances, which in turn contributes to a safer maritime environment for activities like tourism and fishing."
This year the ADF is contributing the mine-hunter vessels HMA Ships Huon and Diamantina, and explosive ordnance disposal specialists from Navy, Army and Air Force will be supported by health personnel and logistic troops.
The Royal Australian Air Force will also provide strategic airlift with a C-130J Hercules..

Iain Robert Balshaw, MBE (born 18 April 1979) is an English former rugby union player who played on the wing or at full back for Bath, Leeds Carnegie, Gloucester and Biarritz Olympique. He won 35 international caps for England between 2000 and 2008, and three for the British & Irish Lions in 2001. He was a member of the England squad that won the 2003 Rugby World Cup.

Early life
Born 18 April 1979 in Blackburn, England, Balshaw was educated at the Jesuit Stonyhurst College in Lancashire.

Club career

Bath
At junior level he played for Preston Grasshoppers and joined Bath as a teenager in 1997. He made his senior debut in 1998, scoring thirteen tries in his first season.

Leeds Carnegie
After Balshaw's move to Leeds in July 2004, his game at club level flourished. Balshaw was out of action for the beginning of the season with a groin injury, but after three months of work with the Leeds medical staff he was back to fitness. He made his debut off the bench in the Tykes first home win of the season against Worcester Warriors. Balshaw's first start came away against Grenoble in the European Challenge Cup and he has featured in the starting line up for the Tykes subsequent games. After a run of five impressive starts Balshaw was rewarded with the captaincy for the Powergen Cup semi-final game against London Irish, and this performance saw him gain a recall to the England squad. He started the final itself, but he limped off injured early on in the game as his teammates went on to win the trophy.

Gloucester Rugby
Following Leeds Carnegie's relegation from the Guinness Premiership, in April 2006 Balshaw joined Gloucester Rugby. He made his debut against his old club Bath after making 106 Premiership appearances for Bath and Leeds scoring 38 tries.

Biarritz Olympique
Balshaw moved to Biarritz Olympique in 2009, as part of a large exodus of English players to the French Top 14.

On 11 July 2014, Balshaw announced his retirement from rugby with immediate effect after failing to recover from his knee injuries.

International career
Balshaw was picked on the replacements' bench for every one of Englands internationals in 2000. He won his first cap for England in 2000 at the inaugural Six Nations Championship match against Ireland, coming on as a substitute. In November 2000, he came on late in the England-Australia autumn International at Twickenham to give Dan Luger a last minute winning try.

In the following 2001 Six Nations he finally made the starting line-up for England at full back and stunned the Welsh in the opening game at the Millennium Stadium; England winning 44–15. He toured Australia with the British & Irish Lions in June 2001, winning three test caps as a replacement.

The 2002/2003 season saw him as a member of the England squad for the tour of New Zealand and Australia, before joining the party for Churchill Cup matches in North America. He scored two tries in a 'non-cap' international against Japan in Tokyo in June 2002, having recovered from shoulder surgery that restricted him to nine games in the previous eleven months for Bath. Problems with injury meant that his subsequent international appearances were few, despite criticism Clive Woodward retained faith in his ability and selected him in the 2003 World Cup squad.

Balshaw played in the warm-up match against France in Marseille and impressed in England's World Cup game against Samoa, when he caught a diagonal kick from Jonny Wilkinson to score a crucial try in the 70th minute. He was one of 19 England players who played during the final win over Australia in Sydney, coming on as a replacement in extra time.

In the 2005 Lions tour of New Zealand he was selected ahead of Kevin Morgan and Mark Cueto, but later ruled out with a torn thigh muscle.
Balshaw was selected for England in both Tests in Australia in June 2006.

He was also chosen in the first two Autumn Internationals in 2006. He played against New Zealand and then against Argentina where he scored an individual try.

He was England's first choice Fullback during the 2008 Six Nations Championship but received a lot of criticism from rugby pundits including George Hook. When Martin Johnson announced his first England squads in July 2008 following his appointment as manager, Balshaw was omitted from both the Elite and Saxon selections.

Personal life
Balshaw is married to Kate and they have three children. Balshaw was involved with www.rugbypigs.com, a rugby fanzine website.

Carl Alfred Erhardt (February 15, 1897 in Beckenham, Kent, United Kingdom – May 3, 1988) was an English ice Hockey player who captained the British national team to numerous international championships in the 1930s, including Olympic gold at the 1936 Winter Olympics in Garmisch-Partenkirchen.
Erhardt was a member of the European and World Championship teams in 1931, the World Championship team in 1934 and 1935, and the captain of the team which won the European and World Championships, along with Olympic gold, in 1936. Of the twelve members of the 1936 team, Erhardt was one of only two that had not either been born or learned the game in Canada. Thirty-nine years old at the time, Erhardt is the oldest man ever to win an Olympic gold in ice hockey. The British defeated the prohibitive favourites, the Canadians, in capturing Great Britain's first and only gold medal in ice Hockey.

Carlo Mattogno: The Real Auschwitz Chronicle: The History of the Auschwitz Camps
The most important historical-documentary source about Auschwitz published so far is Danuta Czech's Auschwitz Chronicle, first published in 1989 (German edition). However, the author, working from communist Poland, has given an extremely biased picture of the camp: It is limited to the alleged extermination of Jews and Gypsies, which is presented as virtually the sole purpose of Auschwitz. A separate study (volume 47 of the present series) has documented in detail that Czech's work is a mendacious conglomeration of assumptions, distortions, inventions and omissions.
The opening of Eastern archives after the collapse of the Eastern bloc has provided access to vast collections of sources, opening up immense historical horizons that require a complete revision of the communist propaganda view of history prevalent during the Cold War, which is attempted herewith.
This present work focuses on sources that were unknown or inaccessible to Czech, or that she intentionally passed over. The purpose is to provide the reader and researcher with a more-comprehensive historical picture of Auschwitz Camp activities. In the first, chronological part of the present study, the focus is on documents concerning the sanitary and medical situation and the planning and construction of the camp. They show, for example, that there were always tens of thousands of prisoners at Auschwitz who were not fit for work: "inpatients", "invalids" and "juveniles". Other documents show that a lot of effort was made to nurse sick prisoners back to health. These prisoners were therefore not killed, as Czech could falsely claim by hiding these documents from her readers, but they persistently appear in the documents as alive and kicking.
The only merit of Czech's Auschwitz Chronicle is the listing of deportation transports that arrived at Auschwitz. However, her approach is purely chronological, making it impossible to get an overall picture. Since compilations of overall figures are far more important than individual data, the statistical aspects of the history of Auschwitz have not been integrated here into the first, calendrical part, but are reproduced in tabular form in the second part. This also lists what Czech reprehensibly neglected: the occupancy rate of the camp as well as the verifiable mortality rates. This also finally provides a definitive answer to the question: How many prisoners demonstrably died in the Auschwitz camp? Moreover, the number of inmates transferred from Auschwitz to other camps in 1944/1945 is meticulously documented: about 280,500 witnesses to what happened at Auschwitz. The Germans had nothing to hide.

Jana & El Serty reach 1st final, Hania reaches her 3rd , & Asal yet to drop a game…
August 3, 2019	EGYPT
BEST OF EGYPTIAN PHOTOS
[1] Mostafa Asal 3-0 Lewis Anderson (Eng) 11-5, 11-5, 11-2 (28m)
[3/4] Mostafa El Serty 3-2 [2] Omar El Torkey 11-8, 6-11, 10-12, 11-8, 11-7 (63m)
[1] Hania El Hammamy (Egy) 3-1 [3/4] Farida Mohamed 11-8, 11-6, 4-11, 11-3 (54m)
[2] Jana Shiha 3-2 [3/4] Aifa Azman (Mas) 10-12, 14-12, 2-11, 15-13, 11-7 (64m)
Jana gets her revenge, Hania drops a game, while we have 2 Mostafa in the final!
What a match, what a performance. Young Jana, who is known for a lack of confidence, but hard working and determined beautiful soul, finally overcame her boogeywoman. Twice she had played the very streetwise Aifa Azman, in the British Junior U13 and U17, losing each time.
Jana lost the first game today, on a tie break, and she knew how crucial it was for her to take the second, and that she did, on her second attempt, again on a tie-break 14/12. The third, the Egyptian didn't turn up bless her, 5m game for the Malaysian, thanks Aifa said, walking off court leading 2/1 and looking the winner, 11/2.
The fourth is a battle for every single point, with the Malaysian getting three match balls, each time Jana saving the day with guts, to finally clinched that 4th 15/13. Did that affect the Malaysian mentally? I felt a bit of a drop in energy in the 5th for Aifa, the hard work produced by Jana patient lengthy rallies squash probably paid off in that decider.
Knowing Jana, I thought she might start doubting herself if she didn't take the match on her first match ball, 10/7. She must have felt the same, as she found another forehand killer crosscourt that her opponent couldn't reach. And Jana reaches her first ever World Junior Final…
"I was so many matchballs down but I managed to find a way to save them and somehow win the fourth game. It gave me a bit more confidence for the fifth game which was tense and I had to stay as calm as I could," said Jana.
"It feels really amazing to be in the final. Furthermore this is like a double revenge for me, having beaten Marina in the quarter-finals and now Aifa.
"Hopefully I can go on to win tomorrow. It is a pleasure to play in an all-Egyptian final and I'll definitely do my best."
Is Hania going to get her World Junior title? Finally? The 18 years old and WR15 – she'll be 19 in September – is playing her last world junior, was largely the favourite today against WR50 17 years old Farida Mohamed.
Still Farida never stopped trying and when she was down and out 2/0, she raised the pace, hit as hard as her sister Habiba & Nouran Gohar put together, and outpaced Hania who finally showed she is human, dropping her first game of the event!!!
At the start of the 4th, at 1/0, a little accidental stepping on Farida's foot from Hania stopped the game for a few minutes, but thank Heaven the Alexandria champ came back on court. Some good squash was played but the experience I feel made the difference in that one, and it's Hania closing the match down, 11/3 in 54m.
Mostafa El-Serty created the upset today it has to be said when he beat the #2 seed Omar El Torkey 11-8, 6-11, 10-12, 11-8, 11-7 in 63m. First game saw a few strange calls from the ref, seemed very harsh against Omar I felt, and led – along with pressure – with a couple of errors at crucial stages of the opener, 11/8 to the underdog.
Omar reacted very well, reassessed to take the next two, but Mostafa seemed to find the squash of his life in the next two, snatching the final away from Omar's racquet, and it's 11/8 and 11/7 to the underdog in 63m.
"It was such a hard game today, not only because Omar is higher ranked but also because he is one of my closest friend," said Moustafa.
"But I'm so happy to have gotten through to my first final. Its really a dream come true. I remembered when I was 9 and I knew I wanted to make the final one day too.
"Last year I only made the semi-finals of the world juniors and I was learning how to be one step better. I still have one more year of world juniors so to reach the final now is really good for me."
As for Ragging Bull, bless him, not sure any of his matches went over 30m mark…. Today, Giant Killer Lefthander Lewis Anderson hit the Bull wall. Both metaphorically and physically… At some point, Mostafa didn't exactly let a boulevard for his opponent to go to the ball, and the Englishboy made his opinion apparently clear to Mostafa. A few words were exchanged, nothing bad, but it led to a lovely image at the end of the match, as the English bowed to his opponent, Mostafa took the English arm to get the crowd to salute him.
Awhhhh…..
Previous Quarter-Finals : Aifa and Lewis join six Egyptians in the semis
Next Semi-Finals : What they Said
37m for Egypt to qualify for the Semis against England
Team Egypt: The Pools…
Hania finally, and Asal, still….
After a huge 20m first game, Asal didn't look back, while Hania finally gets her title on her third attempt... Fram reports...

N-acetyltransferase 2 is a polymorphic enzyme in humans. Women who possess homozygous polymorphic alleles have a slower rate of metabolic activation of aryl aromatic amines, one of the constituents of tobacco smoke that has been identified as carcinogenic. We hypothesized that women with breast cancer who were slow acetylators would be at increased risk of breast cancer associated with active and passive exposure to tobacco smoke.
We used a case-only study design to evaluate departure from multiplicativity between acetylation status and smoking status. We extracted DNA from buccal cell samples collected from 502 women with incident primary breast cancer and assigned acetylation status by genotyping ten single-nucleotide polymorphisms. Information on tobacco use and breast cancer risk factors was obtained by structured interviews.
We observed no substantial departure from multiplicativity between acetylation status and history of ever having been an active smoking (adjusted odds ratio estimate of departure from multiplicativity = 0.9, 95% confidence interval 0.5 to 1.7) or ever having had passive residential exposure to tobacco smoke (adjusted odds ratio = 0.7, 95% confidence interval 0.4 to 1.5). The estimates for departure from multiplicativity between acetylation status and various measures of intensity, duration, and timing of active and passive tobacco exposure lacked consistency and were generally not supportive of the idea of a gene–environment interaction.
In this, the largest case-only study to evaluate the interaction between acetylation status and active or passive exposure to tobacco smoke, we found little evidence to support the idea of a departure from multiplicativity.
The aromatic and heterocyclic amines are among the constituents of tobacco smoke that have been identified as carcinogens [1, 2]. These carcinogens require host-mediated metabolic activation to electrophiles, which readily bind nucleophilic DNA, to induce a mutation and, ultimately, cancer . Two pathways metabolize aromatic amines . First, aromatic amines can be N-acetylated in the liver by N-acetyltransferase-2 (NAT2) or N-acetyltransferase-1 (NAT1) . This is a detoxifying pathway. Second, aromatic amines and heterocyclic amines can be N-oxidized by P450 enzymes in the liver or in extrahepatic tissues . This oxidation competes with the hepatic N-acetylation for aromatic amines but not for heterocyclic amines. The product of the oxidation is then either O-acetylated by NAT2 or NAT1, a reaction that yields the activated electrophile, or detoxified by competing enzymatic pathways [4, 6]. The NAT2 enzyme therefore has a dual role: it detoxifies aromatic amines hepatically but may also play a role in activation of aromatic amines and heterocyclic amines in extrahepatic tissues such as the breast.
NAT2 is a polymorphic enzyme in humans [5, 7–10]. Those who possess homozygous wild-type alleles are classified as fast acetylators – because they have a higher rate of metabolic activation of aryl aromatic amines – and those who possess certain polymorphisms are called slow acetylators because they have a lower rate of metabolic activation of these amines [9, 11]. Depending on which metabolic pathway predominates at critical junctures of exposure and tissue susceptibility, fast acetylators may be at higher or lower risk of smoking-induced breast carcinogenesis than slow acetylators. Postmenopausal women who smoke and have a reduced ability to detoxify by-products of tobacco smoke, as measured by their NAT2 genotype (slow acetylators), have an excess risk of breast cancer [12–14]. In one of these studies, this excess risk was found to be limited to women who had smoked for 20 years or more . In another study, the postmenopausal women who were rapid acetylators were found to be at highest risk . In a fifth study, the association between smoking and breast cancer showed little dependence on acetylation rate .
Most epidemiologic studies that have examined the relation between active cigarette smoking and breast cancer have found weak or null associations [17, 18]. A meta-analysis of the studies that excluded from the analysis those women who had been passively exposed reported that the risk of breast cancer for active smokers was more than twice as much as that for women never actively or passively exposed to tobacco smoke . Studies comparing women who were passive smokers with women who had never been either active or passive smokers have also shown consistent elevations in breast cancer risk associated with smoking [20–23]. Recently, two case–control studies [24, 25] have reported effect modification by acetylation status for both active and passive smokers. Both studies found stronger associations between breast cancer risk and passive exposure to smoke among rapid acetylators. Though both studies also found an association between active smoking and breast cancer risk, the magnitude of the risk was greater among slow acetylators in the study by Chang-Claude and colleagues  and among fast acetylators in the study by Morabia and colleagues . Inconsistent findings have prevented any meaningful conclusions from being drawn about the interaction of acetylation status and exposure to tobacco smoke in the etiology of breast cancer.
We collected genetic and behavioral information from incident primary breast cancer cases arising in five different sites across the United States. We used a case-only design to examine the potential interaction between acetylation status – as assigned by NAT2 genotype – and self-reported active or passive smoking status. We hypothesized that slow acetylators would be at increased risk of breast cancer associated with both active and passive smoking, and that these risks would be more pronounced among women whose exposure began before their first pregnancy or at an early age. The case-only design is optimal for assessing multiplicative interaction when the genotype and environmental exposure are independent of one another. This investigation is the largest case-only study to examine the interaction between NAT2 acetylation status and history of tobacco exposure as it relates to the risk of breast cancer.
The cases of female breast cancer included in this analysis were identified as parts of two study populations [26, 27]. The first population included women with pathologically confirmed incident invasive breast cancer diagnosed between 1987 and 1993 among residents of eight towns on Cape Cod, Massachusetts, and that were reported to the Massachusetts Cancer Registry. The second population included women with pathologically confirmed, incident stage I, stage II, or stage IIIa breast cancer that were diagnosed from December 1996 to September 1999 at hospitals in Los Angeles, California; Rhode Island; Minnesota; and North Carolina.
Introductory letters were mailed to breast cancer patients in 2001 and 2002. A trained interviewer followed the letter with a telephone call to answer questions and solicit participation. Patients who agreed to participate were sent an enrollment package containing an introductory letter, summary information about the study, an informed consent form, instructions for submitting a mouthwash sample, a safety-sealed sample of mouthwash, and a wide-mouth sample-collection bottle. Participants collected the sample and returned it in a postage-paid box along with their informed consent form. Buccal cells were precipitated by centrifugation and stored at -70°C until a batch of 90 samples had been collected. Batches were sent by overnight delivery on dry ice to Qiagen Genomics (Bothell, WA, USA) for DNA extraction and genotyping.
Qiagen Genomics applied proprietary Masscode technology to measure Masscode tags, which are low-molecular-weight compounds linked to the DNA via a photocleavable linker. The tag is cleaved in flow into a mass spectrometer, and a Microsoft Access database converts the raw analytical data into statistically generated genotype calls. The assay has been validated in over one million genotypes. Existing primers were used to characterize NAT2 genotypes at ten single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in each buccal cell sample.
The Qiagen genotyping data characterized each participant as homozygous wild-type, heterozygous, or homozygous polymorphic at each SNP. Inferred haplotypes were estimated from the genotyping data using an expectation-maximization algorithm implemented in the software program SNPHAP http://www-gene.cimr.cam.ac.uk/clayton/software/, and the predicted haplotypes with the highest probability were used for the primary analyses.
Patients who were included in the study were interviewed on the telephone by trained interviewers using a structured interview to obtain information on demographic characteristics, history of active and passive exposure to tobacco smoke, and known or suspected risk factors for breast cancer. Patients from the Cape Cod study population were interviewed between March 1997 and March 1998. Patients from the second study population were interviewed approximately 40 months after their date of diagnosis to gather the variables primarily used in this analysis.
The literature on the expression of specific SNPs in the NAT2 gene guided the phenotypic assignments for each haplotype used in this study [11, 28–34]. We considered a woman a 'rapid acetylator' if she was homozygous for the NAT2*4a or NAT2*12 haplotype, an 'intermediate acetylator' if she was heterozygous for the NAT2*4a or NAT2*12 haplotype, and a 'slow acetylator' if she had any other combination of the NAT2 polymorphisms listed in Table 1.
-, any other haplotype yielding heterozygosity; NAT, N-acetyltransferase.
We considered a woman an active smoker if she reported smoking 100 or more cigarettes in her lifetime, and a passive smoker if she was not herself a smoker but reported living with someone who was a smoker. Women who were neither active nor passive smokers were considered separately. For women who reported having smoked 100 or more cigarettes in their lifetime or who lived with someone who smoked, information on the duration, intensity, and timing of exposure to tobacco smoke (active or passive) was also collected.
In addition to information about smoking, we collected information on health and behavioral risk factors, including alcohol use, body mass index (BMI), family history of breast cancer (yes or no), history of benign breast disease, and parity. BMI was calculated as weight divided by the square of height (kg/m2). A woman was considered to have a first-degree family history of breast cancer if she reported that her mother, sister(s), or daughter(s) had been diagnosed with breast cancer. We defined alcohol use according to the number of drinks a woman reported 'usually' having: nondrinker, ≤ one drink/month, few drinks/month, few drinks/week, almost every day, and unknown.
Ambrosone and colleagues  found that the rapid and intermediate arylamine N-acetyltranferase activity groups do not differ in their phenotypic expression (acetylation status). Based on this finding and others [35, 36], we collapsed rapid and intermediate acetylators into the group of rapid acetylators. We examined the interaction of acetylation status and exposure to tobacco smoke among the breast cancer cases available for analysis. We used logistic regression analysis in SAS  to quantify departure from multiplicativity. We generated odds ratios (ORs) and 95% confidence intervals (CIs) to estimate the departure from multiplicativity between smoking status and acetylation status (gene–environment interaction). We examined the ORs separately for active and passive smokers. Women who were fast acetylators and who had never been either active or passive smokers were the reference group for all analyses. We controlled for the influence of potential breast cancer risk factors including age at diagnosis of breast cancer, alcohol consumption, BMI, first-degree family history of breast cancer, geographic location (state where breast cancer diagnosis was made), and history of benign breast disease using multiple variable logistic regression.
We also evaluated departure from multiplicativity for variables describing the duration, intensity, and timing of active smoking or exposure to passive smoking. For active smokers, we examined the ORs in categories of the number of packs of cigarettes smoked per day, duration of smoking, age at onset of smoking, when a woman began smoking in relation to the first live birth of a child, and time since cessation of smoking. For passive smokers, we examined the duration of passive exposure, age when first passive exposure began, and when this first passive exposure occurred in relation to the first live birth of a child.
Among the Cape Cod population, 330 of 483 eligible women agreed to receive a sample collection kit; the remainder refused or could not be contacted. Of the 330 who received a kit, 272 returned a sample and 269 samples yielded DNA that could be genotyped. Among the second study population (from California, Rhode Island, Minnesota, and North Carolina), 372 of 410 eligible women agreed to receive a sample collection kit and the remainder refused or were unable to be contacted. Of the 372 who received a kit, 321 returned a sample and 233 had samples that yielded DNA that could be genotyped and had the requisite interview data. In both studies, 56% of eligible participants were genotyped and included in the analysis. The proportion of smokers among nonparticipants was not significantly different from that among participants in either study population. The mean age was greater among nonparticipants than among participants (mean ages 66 years versus 61, respectively, in the Cape Cod population, P = 0.0001; and 74 versus 73 in the second study population, P = 0.03), reflecting greater losses to follow-up among older women. Age was not associated with genotype among the participants. The proportion of participants who were slow acetylators, active smokers, and passive smokers did not vary significantly with their site of enrollment. Among the genotyped controls in the Cape Cod study, the OR for association of acetylation status (fast versus slow) with exposure to tobacco smoke (women who had ever smoked actively versus all the others studied) was 1.06 (P = 0.90). This finding is consistent with those of earlier studies [12, 14–17, 24, 25], in which acetylation status and active smoking were not significantly associated among controls.
Table 2 provides demographic and risk factor characteristics for the 502 breast cancer patients in the analytic sample according to acetylation status. The distribution of age, family history of breast cancer, and history of benign breast disease was nearly identical for fast and slow acetylators. There were small differences in alcohol consumption and BMI between fast and slow acetylators and a noticeable difference in the proportion of women who had had one to three live births (46% versus 61%, respectively). The great majority of the participants (97%) were white (data not shown).

We observed no substantial departure from multiplicativity between acetylation status and history of ever having smoked actively (adjusted OR estimate of departure from multiplicativity (AOR) = 0.9) or of ever having experienced passive residential exposure to tobacco smoke (AOR = 0.7) (Table 3, which also shows confidence intervals). The ratios of the upper limits of the intervals to their lower limits were about 3 and 3.7 for the crude and adjusted estimates of effect, respectively (Table 3). These ratios measure the precision of the estimates of effect and indicate adequate precision about these estimates.

Estimates for the departure from multiplicativity between acetylation status and the various measures of intensity, duration, and timing of active and passive tobacco exposure are presented in Table 4. For active smokers, we found estimates lacking consistent directionality. The AOR estimates for women in the categories with the highest intensity (packs/day) and greatest length (in years) of smoking were in opposite directions. For example, the departure from multiplicativity was above the null for women who had smoked two or more packs per day (AOR = 1.8) but below the null for women who had smoked for 40 or more years (AOR = 0.7). For the variables describing the age at which a woman began smoking, when she began smoking in relation to her first live birth, and the time elapsed since she quit smoking, we observed estimates of departure from multiplicativity both above and below the null.
aControlling for age at diagnosis, alcohol use, BMI, first-degree family history of breast cancer, history of benign breast disease, and parity. bLength of time lived with a smoker. -, not calculated; CI, confidence interval; OR, odds ratio.
The estimates for departure from multiplicativity between acetylation status and the measures of duration and timing of passive exposure to tobacco also lacked consistency. For the variable describing the duration of passive exposure to tobacco in the residence, we observed null and less than null associations with slow acetylation status: AOR = 1.0 for <20 years, 0.6 for 20 to <40 years, and 0.8 for 40+ years. We observed a departure from multiplicativity between slow acetylation status and passive exposure occurring exclusively before a woman's first live birth (AOR = 1.9), and a positive departure for women whose first passive exposure to tobacco smoke occurred between the ages of 12 and 20 (AOR = 2.4).
In this, the largest case-only study to evaluate the interaction between acetylation status and exposure to tobacco smoke, we found little evidence to support a departure from multiplicativity between acetylation status and a history of active smoking for women with breast cancer. There is some suggestion that women who were slow acetylators were at higher risk from passive exposure to tobacco smoke before their first live birth than women who had never been either passive or active smokers. A similar positive departure was observed for women who were first passively exposed between the ages of 12 and 20. The effect estimates observed in this study for measures of intensity, duration, and timing of exposure showed no consistent pattern and in some instances were statistically unstable.
Our study is one of only a few to assess the interaction between exposure to tobacco smoke and acetylation status in relation to breast cancer risk. Hunter and colleagues , in addition to examining the association between slow acetylation status and the risk of breast cancer, for which they reported a null association, found no evidence of an interaction between recent smoking status and NAT2 acetylation status among 706 postmenopausal women (cases and controls). Recently, two studies that removed passive smokers from the analysis of the unexposed group found suggestions of an interaction between tobacco exposure and acetylation status. Both reported a greater breast cancer risk among passive smokers who were fast acetylators [24, 25]. The findings among active smokers were not consistent, however. Morabia and colleagues  found that active smokers who were fast acetylators were at greater risk, whereas Chang-Claude and colleagues  found the greater risk from active smoking among slow acetylators. By parsing their cases into contingency tables (genotype by smoking group) and applying a case-only analysis, we obtained estimates of departure from multiplicativity for both studies very similar to ours, but with wider CIs.
In the only other case-only analysis, Ambrosone and colleagues  found a strong positive departure from multiplicativity between acetylation status and smoking at an early age (<18) and for smoking 20 or more cigarettes 20 years previously. Overall, we found departures from multiplicativity between acetylation status in relation to both active and passive exposure to tobacco smoke below the null. In subanalyses, we did find a positive departure from multiplicativity between acetylation status and smoking initiation between 14 and 15 years of age, and, separately, for first passive exposure to tobacco smoke between the ages of 12 and 20. Both findings are consistent with the hypothesis that environmental insults to developing breast tissue may increase the tissue's susceptibility to carcinogenesis, and thus may increase a woman's risk of breast cancer [38, 39]. However, the lack of a consistent directionality to our estimates for the other age-at-initiation categories (≤ 13 and 16 to 17 years) suggests that these may be chance findings.
To date, numerous polymorphisms on the NAT2 gene have been identified (Table 1), which has furthered our understanding of NAT2 phenotypes and improved our ability to assign acetylation status to the breast cancer cases in this study. The genotyping procedures employed in this analysis are more accurate than the PCR-RFLP (PCR–restriction fragment length polymorphism) techniques used in previous studies [12, 16, 25]. Consequently, the rates of misclassification of acetylation status in this study should be less than in those studies.
Misclassification of either the genetic or environmental variables involved in an assessment of interaction by case–control design can give rise to the appearance of interaction when, in fact, there is none . Our analysis of interaction using case-only data provides greater control over the impact of potential misclassification errors, because there are only two variables that are susceptible to misclassification – acetylation status and smoking status. If the misclassification rates are nondifferential, as one would expect, then the estimates of departure from multiplicativity will be biased towards the null . As discussed above, in the previous case–control analyses, the impact of misclassification is less predictable. It is therefore possible that findings from previous studies evaluating the interaction of acetylation status and exposure to tobacco smoke in relation to breast cancer risk may have generated spurious estimates of interaction, even if the misclassification was nondifferential. As discussed above, case-only estimates derived from these studies were similar to ours. The attenuation of the interaction after reanalysis using the case-only design further suggests that the published case–control results may have been more susceptible to misclassification. By genotyping more SNPs with a more accurate method and by implementing a case-only design, our analysis provides a more valid assessment of the multiplicative interaction between NAT2 genotype and exposure to tobacco smoke in relation to breast cancer.
Weighing against this advantage of the case-only design is the limitation that only departure from multiplicativity can be assessed. Many epidemiologists weigh departure from additive interaction more heavily, arguing that the additive scale corresponds better to the biologic meaning of synergistic effects . A further limitation of the case-only design is its reliance on the assumption that the genetic polymorphisms and environmental exposure are independent of one another . Violations of this assumption can substantially distort the estimates of interaction. However, NAT2 polymorphisms and smoking history were not associated among the genotyped controls in the Cape Cod study or among the controls in earlier studies [12, 14–17, 24, 25]. The absence of association supports the assumption of independence required to validly estimate departure from multiplicativity with the case-only design.
These results must be interpreted with the following additional limitations in mind. First, only 56% of eligible cases were available for analysis. Participation was not related to smoking status and although participation was related to age, age was not related to genotype. We expect that the selection of participants introduced no substantial bias, although we acknowledge that our study of breast cancer survivors may have influenced the estimates of effect in ways that we are unable to anticipate. Second, haplotypes were inferred from genotyping data by assigning the haplotype with the maximum probability to each case. Forty-one percent of haplotype assignments had probabilities of 100% and 91% had probabilities of 80% or better. Less than 5% had probabilities of less than 50%. We expect that the procedure used to infer haplotypes introduced little error.
This large case-only analysis is the first to be able to assign acetylation status on the basis of ten SNPs. No previous analysis assigned acetylation status on the basis of more than four. In addition, the study involved the largest number of breast cancer cases used to investigate the interaction between NAT2 acetylation status and exposure to tobacco smoke as related to breast cancer risk. The combination of the most complete genotyping data and the large case-only design provides important advantages, the results of which do not suggest any substantial interaction between acetylation status and exposure to tobacco smoke in the etiology of breast cancer. Weighing against the null result is the potential for an unanticipated bias towards the null to have arisen by selection of breast cancer survivors from among the incident cases.

Apolipoprotein E epsilon 4 allele distributions in late-onset Alzheimer's disease and in other amyloid-forming diseases.
The frequency of the allele for apolipoprotein E type 4 (epsilon 4) is increased in late-onset familial and sporadic Alzheimer's disease (AD). We have examined epsilon 4 frequencies in four distinct, normal, elderly control groups and, most importantly, in patients with amyloid-forming diseases whose epsilon 4 distributions were not previously known (Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease, familial amyloidotic polyneuropathy, Down's syndrome). There were no differences between any of these controls and published control series, cementing the relevance of epsilon 4 for late-onset AD. The increase in late-onset AD was confirmed in two new series.


A working farm with a 2km nature trail to explore,animals to say hello to and a community garden. Lots of special events are held throughout the year, from cookery schools to themed trails and holiday clubs. The Occombe Café and onsite farm shop feature the best of local food, much of it from the farm.
Special events may be chargeable, but general entry to the farm and nature trail is free.


Montiglio Piedmont, not far from Turin, is drop dead beautiful. Add to that the unbelievable but wonderful fact that you will be the only foreign tourist in town and clearly you have found a little private corner of paradise.
You'll probably be the only tourist from outside of Piedmont too– very few Italians even know of this place.
If you want completely undiscovered Italy then you can't do better than this little Piedmont hill town set in the rolling hills of Monferrato.
The town has it all, a stupendous setting, rich in history and full of magnificent architecture including a medieval castle.
Montiglio also has great food, ideal for the true gourmand looking for a taste of authentic Piedmont cuisine.
I am absolutely dumbfounded that such a gem has escaped wider notice and this can't last so make sure you get here soon. You will really feel smug having this wonderful village all to yourself.
Montiglio itself doesn't have anywhere that I'd recommend to stay at.
The absolutely gorgeous surrounding countryside is another story with many excellent hotels and bed and breakfasts.
My choice? The Locanda Antico Ricetto without a doubt.
The Locanda Anitico Ricetto is about five miles down the road from Montiglio and not only is this a great hotel but the restaurant's authentic Piemonte cuisine is wonderful too.
A great place to start a tour of the town is at the market (Fridays only) in Piazza Umberto. In the square itself you will find the little seventeenth Piedmont church of San Rocco.
Make your way to Piazza Regina Margherita and take via Roma until you get to Piazza Belly. Not named after someone's tummy but after a nineteenth century war hero of the same name. The eighteenth century church here with it's bell-tower and frescoes by Pietro Ivaldi is lovely.
Continue up via Roma until you get to piazza Umberto and the Castle of Montiglio built in 1300. The original castle walls were later extended and noble homes were built within the confines.
A must see within the grounds of the castle is the Chapel Sant'Andrea, built in 1340. The frescoes within are some of the most impressive examples of fourteenth century art in Piedmont.
Once you have seen the main the sights I would suggest walking around the town and exploring the little side streets. Savouring the atmosphere of centuries past and enjoying being in such a beautiful, authentic Piedmont town, among genuine Piemontese locals, people who have not yet been changed by tourism.
The castle can be visited all year round with a guide and by booking, but try to visit in June when it is always open and a series of musical concerts are held here, an absolutely moving and emotional experience.
The other good time – especially for gourmands of Piedmont cooking - is in October when the truffle festival occurs and the castle stays open over the whole period.

The Conservation Halton watershed has many natural spaces that support a rich diversity of natural features that include plants and animals, wetlands, streams, forests, significant geological formations and habitats, and important corridors for wildlife.
Many of our natural areas are considered environmentally sensitive areas and contain rare plant and animal species;
Much of our natural areas are under private ownership and therefore private stewardship of these areas is essential for their preservation and continued existence on the landscape for the enjoyment of future generations;
Other natural areas such as the Conservation Halton parks are under public ownership and provide unique outdoor experiences for adventure, exploring, learning, and family fun, including hiking, biking, canoeing, and other outdoor recreation and leisure activities;
We are fortunate to have some globally unique features in our watershed including the Niagara Escarpment, the Lake Ontario shoreline, and the glacial Lake Iroquois shoreline.
Some Benefits of Our Natural Systems
Create attractive, liveable communities by providing relaxing, walkable, and aesthetically pleasing neighbourhoods; help us to adapt to impacts of climate change; help prevent flooding and erosion; provide habitat for wildlife and birds; reconnect us with Nature.
Improve water quality; regulate water flow for drought and flood management; provide wildlife habitat; provide carbon storage; contribute to climate change adaptation; provide opportunities for recreational fishing and hunting.
Improve air quality; absorb carbon emissions; filter air pollution; improve water quality and soil; provide important wildlife and bird habitat; provide sources of materials for building and manufacturing; provide shade and block winds.
The Great Lakes
Provide for transportation routes, recreation opportunities, and the manufacture of goods and services, contributing billions of dollars to Ontario's economy; are a source of drinking water for eight million people; provide raw power and cooling water for the province's energy supply.
There are significant challenges to overcome and adapt to as we work to protect our natural spaces and ensure that the ecological needs of the environment are met. As we manage these spaces, we have to consider the needs of business and citizens while grappling with stressors that include:
Climate change;
Intensified urbanization and growth;
Pollution;
The introduction of non-native invasive species.
Impacts on our natural spaces are often transferred and connected to impacts downstream and cross municipal and other administrative borders. Therefore, managing and protecting natural spaces within traditional boundaries is not the best environmental management strategy. Conservation Authorities are the only environmental management agencies in Ontario that are organized on a watershed basis. This management structure positions conservation authorities well to work in partnership with the province, municipalities, and other stakeholders whose interests lie within these environmentally connected areas called watersheds.
Conservation Halton works with municipal, provincial, and federal governments, as well as landowners and other groups, to deliver sound, practical community-based solutions to a range of natural resource challenges. In support of the mission to protect the natural environment, Conservation Halton's vision is to sustain a healthy watershed with clean streams, diverse forests, abundant green space, and balanced growth that results in strong livable communities. Conservation Halton programs and activities are founded on some basic philosophies:
Healthy natural areas are critical for preserving and building local environmental resilience, and help us to adapt to climate change;
Conservation areas and education programs provide healthy outdoor activities and help people to learn about the importance of environment to their own health;
Watershed management programs provide tangible and measurable social, economic, and environmental benefits.
Much of Conservation Halton's efforts on protecting the natural environment include:
Using an approach called integrated watershed management to protect watershed health and contribute to the quality of life in communities throughout the watershed;
Water management programs that involve flood protection in high-flow periods, or low-flow augmentation in creeks during dry periods, as well as flood warning;
Planning reviews, fisheries, environmental monitoring, and natural heritage inventories by our ecology services group;
Managing more than 4,000 hectares of natural lands, including extensive forests. Our forest management efforts focus on the health and diversity of the forest ecosystem with restoration and tree planting programs;
Source water protection, which involves protecting water resources, such as lakes, rivers and groundwater, from contamination and overuse;
Encouraging private landowners to protect natural areas on their properties. This is done through the Hamilton-Halton Watershed Stewardship Program;
Our engineering and planning services that help ensure that environmental planning is an integral part of community development.
Enjoying and Protecting the Natural Spaces in Your Watershed
There are a number of ways you can get out to experience and learn more about the natural spaces in the Conservation Halton watershed. You can also get involved and support efforts to enhance and protect our natural heritage:
Visit Conservation Halton parks for exploring, adventure, learning, and family fun; eleven conservation areas, including one of the few downhill ski and snowboarding areas in Ontario, have been developed and received one million visits in 2017;
Go fishing in one of many areas known for fishing in the watershed;
Search for and identify many of the wild species in the watershed;
Optimize your garden for local butterflies and wildlife;
Sign up for Word on the Watershed, Conservation Halton's monthly newsletter;
Check out the events calendar to see new, exciting opportunities that are coming up;
Peruse the Education and Volunteer and Community pages, where you will find many opportunities (including children's programs) to learn, experience, and get involved;
Access the Conservation Halton Lands map to see the Conservation Halton watershed area and where certain features are located.
But Wait! There's More…

You can stop most telemarketing calls by adding your landline or wireless number to the National Do Not Call Registry (1-888-382-1222 or www.donotcall.gov), which is available for free and doesn't expire--you only have to enroll once.
The National Do Not Call Registry is managed by the Federal Trade Commission (FTC), the nation's consumer protection agency. It is enforced by the FTC, the Federal Communications Commission (FCC), and state law enforcement officials.
If you registered your number with the National Do Not Call Registry, the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) forbids commercial telemarketers from calling you, subject to certain exceptions. If you have added your number to the National Do Not Call Registry, be skeptical of any telemarketing robocall you receive.
Those exceptions include political campaigns; marketers with whom you have conducted business within the last 18 months; tax-exempt and non-profit entities; businesses contacting you about an existing debt, contract or payment; businesses that started within the past year; health or safety-related prerecorded messages or emergency calls; and organizations to which you have given prior consent.
Hang up the phone. Don't press number keys, as that may confirm to the source of the robocall that it has reached a valid number. That could cause you to receive more calls.
Don't provide or "confirm" financial or personal information, as the request may be fraudulent. If a person or recorded voice asks you to "verify" personal or financial information, hang up. Look up the phone number of the supposed source of the call on a recent financial statement and call to confirm the claim from the call.
You can request your phone provider to block the number associated with a call, though your provider may charge for the service. However, the source of the call may change its actual or "spoofed" number, thus defeating your caller-ID display and call blocking.
If you think a call has violated the law, write down the time, date, caller-ID information (if available), and a summary of the call. Save any recorded messages.
You can report Do Not Call Registry violations to www.donotcall.gov, or call 1-888-382-1222.
If you receive a call that is falsifying or missing required caller-ID information, you can report it to the FCC at www.fcc.gov/complaints or call 1-888-CALL-FCC (1-888-225-5322).

Why You Need To Start Paying Attention...
Why You Need To Start Paying Attention To Seth Meyers
May 10, 2016 by Liz Willcock
Above: Are you watching 'Late Night' host Seth Meyers? You should be...
There is a difference between comedy and satire. Comedy is funny, it's light, it makes you laugh and pokes fun, but never enough to harm. Satire on the other hand is defined by the the use of humour, irony, or ridicule to expose people's stupidity or vices and bring contemporary political issues to light. America is in dire need of some satire.
Look at US Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump. He's running rampant south of the border threatening to build walls, calling Mexicans rapists, and yet by some inexplicable miracle of God, still winning election support. In the past, as soon as a crazy person has gotten close to the White House, an iconic sketch (think Tina Fey playing Sarah Palin) has served to remind the American people that maybe they better say "nah, maybe not."
The problem is, all of the great satirists are gone. Ok, they're not gone, but they're definitely off the air. John Stewart left The Daily Show in August 2015 and Tina Fey hasn't appeared on SNL since December 2015 (despite our certainty that she would play an excellent Melania Trump.)
Cut to Seth Meyers. Meyers has been running the Late Night franchise on NBC since February 2014 when he replaced Jimmy Fallon. Although Late Night With Seth Meyers is still predominantly a talk show featuring celebrity appearances and sketches, Meyers has slowly turned the last part of the show into a short political sketch called 'A Closer Look.' Here, he regularly offers a small dose of what America needs to cure its political illness – satire.
If 'A Closer Look' seems familiar its because Meyer has a long history of political commentary. He was a regular on SNL between 2001 and 2014, hosted the "Weekend Update", and Tina Fey has credited him with the writing of the infamous Sarah Palin sketches during the 2008 Presidential elections. What makes the Late Night successful is that many of its writers followed Meyers from his post at Saturday Night Live and have crafted 'A Closer Look' into a well written political satire.
But, back to Donald Trump. In a recent interview with the Washington Post, Trump cited Abraham Lincoln as his favorite president because he "did something that was a very important thing to do, and especially at that time." Meyers pulls this quote up and asks "Why so vague? Did you forget he ended slavery or are you worried that some of your supporters are still bummed about that and are you tying not to bring it up?" This. This is why people need to start watching Seth Meyers. Because Trump seems to be supported by a strong contingent of voters who are swept up by his outrageous declarations and don't look into the logic behind them. Seth Meyers dissects these comments and uses satire to counterbalance the crazy. And Lord knows it's much needed.
Take a look at some of his best moments below:

Class 8thWest Bengal - Mathematics14. HCF and LCM of Algebraic Expression
5x(x + y), x3-xy2
Factors of 5x(x + y)=5×x×(x + y)
x3-xy2=x(x2-y2)
Apply the formula a2 – b2 = (a + b)(a-b)
=x(x + y)(x-y)
Factors of x3-xy2= x(x + y)(x-y)
GCD is the greatest common divisor, which is equal to the product of all the common divisors.
∴the GCD 5x(x + y), x3-xy2 is x(x + y)
