So a cute box arrived our doorstep one time and it says "Cloud Cosmetics"
After checking out the packaging, I originally thought it was a Korean made beauty products but after doing my own research, learned this is a Proudly Filipino Brand!
I personally applaud their new look!
Today, I am focusing my first Cloud Cosmetics review on their Baby Pores Powder Emulsion (Php499.00).
This primer is specifically designed to cover, blur, and minimize pores and skin imperfections. It glides on as a cream and quickly transforms into a fine powder leaving a matte, silky smooth finish. It instantly hides your imperfections like magic! With SPF 30.
Has a light powder scent.
Has a lightweight feel, non-greasy.
Can blur some lines and pores at a certain extent.
The area applied with product feels smoother.
15ml product won't last super long if you use a lot.
Makeup doesn't last extra long with this.
A nice pore lessening primer that works like Benefit POREfessional Balm (not exactly the same but has the same concept).
Use as a day cream, primer or seamless foundie for a natural look! Best if applied after Pore Gelly moisturizer.
Apply with patting motion on areas that pores are obvious.
Let it sit for a couple of minutes before you top with your favorite foundation or base makeup.
Best to apply only on areas needed so as to not finish up the product in less than a week!
Best to apply on the sides of the nose to help reduce redness (from friction).
Best to tap on top of obvious pores to lessen the look of enlarged pores.
Can also be applied on the laughline areas on forehead and above the lips.
No as I do not need PORE control because I have very dry skin.
Users with obvious lines and pores. Users who have oily and combination skin.
At BeautyMNL and Cloud Cosmetics website priced at Php499.00.
I appreciate the clearly printed Expiration Date.
It has a light beige color like that of a light BB cream.
Since I have very dry skin, even I have a hard time blending my swatch. It sits on my dry areas easily.
Don't worry if you think the shade is too light for you, given a couple of minutes, it will settle and look more natural.
Have you heard about Cloud Cosmetics?
Do you want to give this new product a try?
I have oily skin but it's kinda expensive for me as a primer. But it's great that it is a locally made product.


And that wasn't the season finale? My word, I have no idea what to expect now. Let me say right away that this episode is going to be hard to describe. Seriously, I don't think words can do it justice. This was an amazing, thoroughly amazing, episode. I have given four episodes this season so far top marks (which as we know, doesn't mean perfect, but it means it's one of the best). To be quite honest, I don't think any of them touch this. I am just gobsmacked. This one episode could quite easily be the culmination of not just the season, but also the series as a whole.
"Wolf in Sheep's Clothing" just works on so many levels. It ties up the entire season so far – many of the smaller plot threads (such as what are Crais' true ambitions), and of course, the driving arc of the season, wormhole technology. Yet, while the wormhole story is sufficiently wrapped up here, questions could still be raised as to where the story of wormholes is going. It's not that they may be forgotten, quite the contrary, but in the context of how the story has panned out this season so far, we've kind of seen the culmination. In addition to plot threads being wrapped, we also have numerous questions left unanswered, and, it has to be said, leaving you wanting more!
Rockne O'Bannon's writing is just awesome in this episode. Absolutely awesome. The script just works on so many levels, with the characters back to their core, true selves (none of that occasionally uneven writing displayed at times this season), with John making plenty of pop culture references, Crais coming full circle, Rygel coming off as more than comic relief, and just the characters sounding perfect in general. This is the kind of script us fans just yearn for (well, I do, anyway!).
The two new stories introduced in Part 1 are fairly promptly brought to a close. The Aeryn/Henta story concludes, as Aeryn is forced to watch her friend die, in the face of death herself. This short subplot has really shown one thing - how far Aeryn has come since she left the Peacekeepers. She is no longer like Henta herself, although she once was. She has evolved, and become much more open-minded, knowing that much of what the Peacekeepers do is wrong. And of course, she has learnt how to really care for others, and in a way has become a lot softer at heart. Her scene healing the girl, and Henta's reaction, clearly illustrate the difference between what the old Aeryn would have probably done (force the girl to carry on), and what the Aeryn three years on would do (heal her). I found the parallels quite astounding, for the simple reason it kind of hits you over the head just how much Aeryn has changed since the first episode.
Crais on the other hand has to say goodbye to Lt. Larell, his former flame, in his own way. He knows that if anyone found out she knew anything about his plot with Moya's crew, it'd cost her career. So, in public, he struck her to make it look as if she had no idea he was even conspiring against Scorpius, hence she could not then be charged with any crime, as no one would think to suspect her (and if they did, the witnesses could say what the saw). It's actually a very sweet thing for Crais to do, if only because it means he has to sacrifice his chance to say goodbye.
But the episode leaves us with two big questions. Big question 1: Is Crais dead? To be honest, I don't know, but I don't see how they could get out of this one, since he was adamant Talyn would be destroyed. If he is, this would be a beautiful exit. As it is, it's a wonderful character moment. He has finally come full circle. He was forced out of command, and here he gets his long awaited revenge on Scorpius. It's something that you just know has been building ever since they last met on the Command Carrier (in "Family Ties"). Crais' command meant everything to him, and as he tells Scorpius, he stole his life from him when he forced him out of command, but finally, Crais has the opportunity to take away the one thing that means everything to Scorpius – his wormhole research. Additionally, his experience of wormholes has shown him that he needs to do this, as the power of wormholes is just too dangerous, and with only Talyn left as his "family", he makes a sacrifice, the two of them, together. The short speech in which Crais told Talyn his plan, was brilliantly written, and it'd be hard to find fault with either of their decisions. Regardless, it's a lovely thing for him to do, and there was so much buried emotion in there it was very sad to watch. Yes, we think he's sold out at first (and it was skilfully played), but he didn't. It was all part of his masterful plan. One thing that was intriguing was his final scene with Aeryn. All that was seen was Aeryn with her hand on his cheek, saying, "now you go". It'd be very interesting to see what was said between the two before that (it's extremely unlikely that was all that was said), and it will likely come out eventually. But regardless, Crais and Aeryn have always had chemistry, and something of a special bond, coming from the same background and all, and it was very touching to see even this small fragment of their goodbye. This was just a beautiful exit, for a burdened man.
Then there's big question 2: Scorpius' fate. Is he dead? It's doubtful. He's probably done something with Braca (since he told Braca to go with him), like escape. But his final scenes were just masterful, and hats off to Wayne Pygram for playing them to perfection. Throughout the season, we've been exposed to some of his vulnerabilities, and we've found out exactly what drives him. We still think he's evil, and know it, but we know it's for a purpose, and in some ways, a part of us empathises with the character and what he wants to achieve (since we know why). And to watch his one purpose for living be destroyed, was actually a very sad moment. His final goodbye with John, and the build up to it as the Carrier was falling apart, felt like the end of an era. They are finally apart. Although John still has wormhole knowledge, will Scorpius still come after it? Possibly. But we realise that Scorpius' entire significance (at least in his eyes, for the time being) is lost, with the destruction of all his research. It was a bittersweet end, in that Scorpius now feels the Scarrans have won, and it's just a matter of time before they take over, but we know that John has stopped him for the time being. John has won. It's unlikely we've seen the last of Scorpius, and as such, it will be interesting to see what his motives will be once he does return.
Much of the episode, understandably, focused on John's exploits. He is now closer than ever to finally unlocking wormhole secrets. In fact, he's likely already there (since he flew successfully with Scorpius). But seeing his goodbye to Pilot and Moya (even though it wasn't goodbye in the end) was heart warming. The puppeteers managed once again to pull so much emotion out of Pilot, and the interplay was beautiful. His scenes with Scorpius were superb, with Ben Browder and Wayne Pygram allowing their chemistry to reach unimaginable levels. They just bounced off each other wonderfully. Their trip through the wormhole was again very well done. It gave Scorpius the taste of what could have been; in his first ever trip through a wormhole, and in retrospect will remind him of just how close he came to completing his research.
Even John's scenes with Strappa were excellent, in which you got the feeling that all Strappa had lived for is this one discovery, a major scientific discovery, but even he in the end had his dream shattered when he was forced to realise that it just could not be; wormhole weapons just have to much power. But John did not erase his knowledge, and so is still vulnerable, he still knows, and Scorpius could still come after him, as could the Scarrans, and Commandant Grayza, and any number of other enemies he's managed to amass. But John has lost something in all of this – Scorpius, and you can see that he feels he's losing a part of him. In a sense, he is. He still has Harvey in his brain, Scorpius has been in pursuit of him for such a long time, and they've actually been through a lot together. For so long their fates have been intertwined, and for now it's over. John knows it is a bittersweet end, as it's likely not the end of his wormhole ordeal, as he still has the knowledge.
One of the greatest things about Farscape is that actions have consequences. As such, previous events are never forgotten, and so it was nice to see that Rygel and Crais didn't forget that they saw wormholes themselves, and witnessed their awesome power. Both mention that wormhole technology is something that should never be allowed to be harnessed by anyone, and in saying so they just make us even more aware of what is at stake.
The destruction of the carrier/escape scene was wonderfully done. From the final look at Crais and Talyn, to seeing the Peacekeepers escape, to the looming view of Scorpius realising what has happened, it was just perfectly done. The music throughout the episode was great, but the orchestral score during this scene was just magnificent, awesome, and perfect. It really added to the feel of the scenes, and helped it feel like the end of an era, which in terms of the series, it was. One of the driving stories for the over two thirds of the series – Scorpius and his pursuit of John for wormhole technology – is now seemingly at an end.
In terms of the remaining characters, we didn't get to see that much. D'Argo's ship was again put to good use, and there were a few nice scenes with them as a group, but if there's one minor niggle I had with this episode it would be that the rest of the crew don't get all that much screen time. But given how much needed to be crammed in, that's easily overlooked when you realise how effective the rest of the episode was. Much like last year, the crew are once again ready to split up and go their separate ways, but the question is will they, and what will they do and who will go if they do? I suspect something will bring them back together, but at the moment it does feel like the end. Quite where things will go from here is anyone's guess, but there's no denying that Farscape will never be the same again; the events in this episode have changed the shape of the show forever.
The direction, production values, effects, everything about this episode was awesome. It really did feel like the end. Most shows would not even attempt an episode that coveys such emotion and story as this, especially as it's not even the season finale. Like I said earlier, I do carefully think about my scores, and maybe in retrospect a couple of the other fives handed out this season shouldn't have been, but this one should. It was an emotional, moving, well written epic, and just awesome in almost every way. A bona-fide Farscape classic, and quite possibly knocking "Die Me, Dichotomy" off the top of my list as my favourite episode ever. I really can't recommend it enough, but I have to pose the very first question again; if this was the penultimate episode, what on Earth could be in store for the season finale?

Commandant Grayza's return is repeatedly foreshadowed throughout this episode.
Rygel says that the Command Carrier is over a metra long, implying a distance akin to a mile or more, although all previous mentions of the word "metra", and the description in the Official Farscape Illustrated Companion, refer to a metra as the equivalent of one metre.
John is back to making a plethora of pop culture references in this episode. One of the most notable: When his module experiences turbulence, flying through the wormhole with Scorpius, he tells Scorpius, "Flyin' through wormholes ain't like dusting crops farm boy!" - a reference to Han Solo's line in Star Wars.
If StarBurst is attempted within a confined space, where the energy is not allowed to dissipate, the Leviathan will be destroyed.
Crais and Talyn are now presumed dead, having StarBurst inside the Command Carrier.
John and Scorpius successfully flew through a wormhole, despite instabilities.
Scorpius reveals that he won't seek vengeance against John by going to Earth – the only vengeance he cared for is no longer within his grasp.
The code to unlock Scorpius' I-Yensch bracelet was to hold two lights and press "911", the telephone number for Emergency Services in the USA.
Once again, much like at the end of last season, the bulk of the crew are contemplating where to go from here. Chiana would likely go looking for her brother and the Nebari resistance, Rygel would probably return to Hyneria to depose the Dominar and Jool wants to go home. But what will they do, and what circumstances can keep together?
Crais: [Over comm., to whole ship] "Scorpius, I am just making my final goodbyes. I am standing in your heart, and I'm about to squeeze. [...] You are the most repellent of creatures, Scorpius. You weren't born into Peacekeepers; you weren't conscripted, against your will. You chose to be one. [...] The last time I left this ship, my ship, I did so under a veil of secrecy. You forced that situation. You took away my command. You stole my life from me! Well this time, Scorpius, I am not leaving quietly!"
Scorpius: "Somebody find that fool, and get him out of that ship! [Carrier starts to rumble] Somebody, get that traitor off that ship!"
John: [to Scorpius] "I suggest you hang on to something."
John: "We were close. [Pause] If we're going to get off this boat, now would be a good time."

New Stingless Bee Bacterial Species Discovered by Adelaide Researchers
PhD candidate Scott Oliphant and Professor Vladimir Jiranek's Wine Microbiology group at the University of Adelaide have discovered the first Australian novel lactic acid bacteria in the family Lactobacillaceae.
Lactic acid bacteria are associated with many benefits including suppression of spoilage agents in food and pathogenic organisms in animals. These are versatile microbes that can be utilised in many ways including producing probiotics, sour dough bread, cheese, sour beers, and contributing to the fermentation of wine and ciders.
Considering the broad use of lactic acid bacteria in both the food and medical industries, the opportunity to em-ploy new strains or species could improve existing fermentations or enable new processes.
"We were amazed that no Aussie microbes in this family have been published yet, as the unique geography and isolation of Australia should make it a host for very unique species"
Through the generosity of Dr Tim Heard of Sugarbag Bees, Dr Scott Groom from The University of Adelaide was able to collect samples from Brisbane-based native beekeepers (including from Tim himself) following the Australian Native Bee Conference that year. Dr Groom had previously called upon Tim's expertise to investigate the susceptibility of the stingless bee Tetragonula carbonaria to exotic bee diseases, so knew who to turn to for this interesting request.
Field samples of bees and honey cells were taken back to the Jiranek lab, where their native microbes were isolat-ed. After purified microbes were obtained, long read whole genome sequencing was used to determine the taxonomic status.
"Since bacteria are so small, morphological characteristics are not terribly helpful at determining if they are unique."
The corbiculate bees, which includes honey bees and stingless bees, have been shown to harbour an abundance of lactic acid bacteria and share a suite of core species between them.
But the microbiome of Australian stingless bees is especially varied reflecting their diverse environment and the resources they use.
This discovery is the first description of lactic acid bacteria found in stingless bees in Australia. These bacteria were found to be abundant in the bee and their honey.
The potential benefits of these microbes need to be further investigated, but it is possible that these microbes may provide protection. In honey bees, such microbes have been shown to play an important role in food preservation and host defence against pathogens.
"We know that honey bees have an intimate relationship with their microbes, and it would be very surprising if stingless bees didn't benefit from theirs"
What was quite notable about these bacteria is the very complex nutritive requirements they needed to grow properly. "The bacteria were isolated on apple juice containing agar, which has many vitamins, ions, and sugars that could be beneficial to microbes. We were surprised at how needy the two species of Bombilactobacillus we discovered were with regards to specific vitamins and nucleosides (the building blocks of DNA and RNA). This is probably why no one has isolated them until now".
"This really is just the start. The methods and information on how our strains were cultured will certainly help researchers in the future unravel what additional species are intimately tied with these bees"

Pośredni Harnaski Staw (słow. Vyšné Sesterské pleso lub Sesterské pleso) – staw położony na wysokości 1972 m n.p.m., w Dolinie Staroleśnej, w słowackich Tatrach Wysokich. Przez Józefa Nykę w przewodniku Tatry słowackie nazywany jest Niżnim Stawem Staroleśnym. Jest to jeden z 27 Staroleśnych Stawów w tej dolinie. Pomiary pracowników TANAP-u z lat 60. XX w. wykazują, że ma on powierzchnię 0,311 ha, wymiary 125 × 55 m i głębokość ok. 1,3 m.

Pośredni Harnaski Staw jest jednym z grupy pięciu Harnaskich Stawów (leży najbliżej Schroniska Zbójnickiego), pozostałe to Wyżni Harnaski Staw, Niżni Harnaski Staw, Wyżnie Harnaskie Oko i Niżnie Harnaskie Oko.

Jest to trasa jednokierunkowa; przejście dopuszczone jest tylko w opisanym kierunku.

Nazewnictwo stawu, zarówno polskie, jak i słowackie, nie jest ugruntowane. Na nowszych mapach najczęściej spotyka się nazwę Sesterské pleso, na starszych stosowano nazwę Zbojnícke pleso (obecnie jako Zbojnícke plesá oznaczane są najczęściej Zbójnickie Stawy).

In a bid to thank God for the peace and bumper yields the country has realized in the 2016 to 2017 harvesting season, the Maseko Ngoni have donated assorted items to Ntcheu Hospital.
The Ngoni performed this charity work on September 2, on the sidelines of their annual festival Umhlangano wa Maseko Ngoni that is held every first Saturday of September at Gongolo grounds at Nkolimbo Village in Inkosi Kwataine's area in Ntcheu.
"We surveyed and found out that there are great challenges in the children's wing mostly due to malnutrition ailments, hence this donation today," said Andrew Kamlopa Chisale, Chairperson for the Lilongwe Maseko Ngoni.
According to Kamlopa they performed this charity work to role model the Ngoni youngsters to grow up with a giving spirit as that shows love, unity and Godliness as advised by paramount chief Gomani.
"We brought a few cartons of soap, soya pieces and a bag of rice just to cushion the suffering of our beloved children here," he added.
Richard Mofolo, the organizing chairperson of the event told Mana that the items were valued at not less than K100, 000 as proceeds from the big walk they had on August 26 in Lilongwe.
Speaking after the donation one of the nurses who received the items on behalf of the hospital, Martha Perekamoyo said the gesture was timely and asked others to emulate from the ngoni's giving spirit.
"There is a need for food warmers in the kitchen to help us give patients warm food. We need more of such kind of assistance here because most patients come without some daily needs like soap as well as food for the guardians," Perekamoyo said.
She said malnutrition diseases were very common in the children's ward which she attributed to undernourishment and lack of knowledge on how people can use the local food produce to meet the recommended six food groups.
The surprise donation gave happiness to many sick persons and guardians at the hospital.
"This is good for me. I was really in an awkward situation; I had no tablet of soap for laundry or bathing. More importantly the relish and rice will assist us a lot," Wickson Katelele one of the guardians said.

Specialists Boost HCV Treatment Rates in Veterans
By Dave Levitan
NEW YORK (Reuters Health) Nov 23 - HCV treatment rates are low among veterans, but consultation with a specialist can drastically increase the likelihood of therapy.
"The study supports previous findings of low treatment rates reported in single or few centers in the VA, and extends the findings to the entire national VA system," said the new study's lead author Dr. Jennifer Kramer, of the Michael E. DeBakey Veterans Affairs Medical Center in Houston, in an e-mail to Reuters Health.
Dr. Kramer and colleagues used retrospective data from the Veterans Affairs hepatitis C virus Clinical Case Registry to evaluate 29,695 patients diagnosed with the virus between 2003 and 2004. Overall, only 4,213 patients (14.2%) received treatment. The study's results were published online ahead of print November 9th in the American Journal of Gastroenterology.
Several patient, provider and facility-related factors influenced whether or not a patient received treatment. Black patients had an adjusted odds ratio for receiving treatment of 0.52 compared with white patients (p<0.0001). Patients older than 65 also had a significantly lower chance of being treated (OR, 0.32; p<0.0001) compared to those under 45 years, as did male patients (OR, 0.53; p<0.0001).
Patients with cirrhosis were significantly more likely to receive treatment (OR, 2.11; p<0.0001), and those with alcohol or other drug abuse, anxiety, post-traumatic shock disorder or severe depression were less likely.
"According to our findings, seeing a specialist consultant was the most important predictor for receipt of hepatitis C virus treatment," Dr. Kramer said, with an OR of 9.34.
"Clinical reminders for timely referral and the availability of adequate capacity of trained specialists are some of the basic needs for managing this disease."
Dr. Kramer said that the generally low treatment rates in the VA system could be improved by interventions targeting factors that are considered as barriers to treatment; these include depression and alcohol abuse. Her group is in the early stages of a new study of a "collaborative depression management" program in four VA hospitals that Dr. Kramer hopes will help remove one of the modifiable barriers to hepatitis C treatment.

Induction Immunosuppression Improves Long-Term Graft and Patient Outcome in Organ Transplantation: An Analysis of United Network for Organ Sharing Registry Data
Transplantation. 2010 Nov 4. [Epub ahead of print]
Cai J, Terasaki PI.
Terasaki Foundation Laboratory, Los Angeles, CA.
BACKGROUND.: Induction agents have been shown to reduce the rate of acute rejection. They have not been clearly shown to improve graft and patient survival. METHODS.: United Network for Organ Sharing registry data were analyzed to show the status of induction therapy in the United States and to determine the effect of induction therapy on long-term graft and patient survival. RESULTS.: Since establishment of the United Network for Organ Sharing renal transplant registry, there have been three distinct eras of induction regimen: (1) the low-induction, old antibody era, 1987 to 1993, when antilymphocyte globulin and muromonab-CD3 were the major agents; (2) a high-induction, transitional era, 1994 to 2002, when basiliximab (1998), daclizumab (1998), and rabbit antithymocyte globulin (rATG; 1999) replaced antilymphocyte globulin and muromonab-CD3, with maintenance agents also used; (3) the high-induction, modern antibody era, 2003 to present, with most patients receiving rATG, basiliximab, daclizumab, or alemtuzumab (2003). Induction recipients had higher graft and patient survival rates than nonrecipients in all categories of organ transplant. The improvement was statistically significant in kidney, liver, and lung transplants, although liver and lung recipients had a lower percentage of patients receiving induction than did kidney patients. Kidney transplant recipients on alemtuzumab with steroids had the lowest risk of graft failure, followed by those on alemtuzumab alone, rATG with steroids, rATG alone, and then basiliximab with steroids. Improvement was not statistically significant with daclizumab (alone or with steroids), basiliximab alone, or steroids alone. CONCLUSION.: Induction immunosuppression improved graft and patient outcome for most organ transplants. Depleting agents (alemtuzumab and rATG)-especially in combination with steroids-seem to be more efficient in preventing renal graft failure than nondepleting agents (basiliximab and daclizumab).

Uncorrected Proof
Background & Aims
We sought to study receiver-operating characteristics (ROC) of the European Association for the Study of the Liver (EASL), Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors (RECIST), and World Health Organization (WHO) guidelines for assessing response following locoregional therapies individually and in various combinations.
Eighty-one patients with hepatocellular carcinoma underwent liver explantation following locoregional therapies. Response was assessed using the EASL, RECIST, and WHO. Kappa statistics were used to determine inter-method agreement. Uni/multivariate logistic regression analyses were performed to determine the variables predicting complete pathologic necrosis. Numerical values were assigned to the response classes: complete response=0, partial response=1, stable disease=2, and progressive disease=3. Various mathematical combinations of the EASL and WHO were tested to calculate scores and their ROCs were studied using pathological examination of the explant as the gold standard.
Median times (95% CI) to the WHO, RECIST, and EASL responses were 5.3 (4–11.5), 5.6 (4–11.5), and 1.3months (1.2–1.5), respectively. Kappa coefficients for WHO/RECIST, WHO/EASL, and RECIST/EASL were 0.78, 0.28, and 0.31, respectively. EASL response demonstrated significant odds ratios for predicting complete pathologic necrosis on uni/multivariate analyses. Calculated areas under the ROC curves were: RECIST: 0.63, WHO: 0.68, EASL: 0.82, EASL+WHO: 0.82, EASL×WHO: 0.85, EASL+(2×WHO): 0.79 and (2×EASL)+WHO: 0.85. An EASL×WHO Score of 1 had 90.2% sensitivity for predicting complete pathologic necrosis.
The product of WHO and EASL demonstrated better ROC than the individual guidelines for assessment of tumor response. The EASL×WHO scoring system provides a simple and clinically applicable method of response assessment following locoregional therapies for hepatocellular carcinoma.

Received 23 January 2010; received in revised form 8 July 2010; accepted 17 July 2010. published online 26 November 2010.
A single nucleotide polymorphism (rs12979860 C/T) 3kb upstream of the interleukin 28B (IL-28B) gene was shown to be associated with hepatitis C clearance. We verified whether this association also translates into a different genotype distribution at the end of the disease trajectory.
A RFLP-PCR technique was used to genotype 412 patients with cirrhosis due to hepatitis C (n=199), hepatitis B (n=75), alcohol (n=110) and other causes (n=28), of whom 256 underwent liver transplantation (OLT). Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) was demonstrated in the native liver of 85 OLT patients, 52 with viral cirrhosis, and 33 with non-viral cirrhosis. A group of 292 patients (235 HCV and 57 HBV positive) with mild chronic hepatitis and 344 healthy subjects served as controls.
A significant difference (p=0.0005) was observed in IL-28B rs12979860 genotype frequencies between patients with viral cirrhosis (C/C=99, C/T=137, T/T=38) and those with non-viral cirrhosis (C/C=72, C/T=58, T/T=8). Patients with HCV related cirrhosis carried more frequently the T/T genotype in comparison to mild hepatitis C or HBV-related cirrhosis. IL-28B rs12979860 genotype frequencies were C/C=23, C/T=50, T/T=12 among OLT patients with cirrhosis complicated by HCC, and C/C=79, C/T=78, T/T=14 among patients with cirrhosis not complicated by HCC (p<0.005).
IL-28B rs12979860 C/T polymorphism T allele is more prevalent in patients with viral cirrhosis due to HCV in comparison to other aetiologies and to patients with mild chronic hepatitis C. Among OLT patients, carriage of this allele seems to augment the risk of developing HCC.

Transient elastography (TE) has gained popularity for the non-invasive assessment of severity of chronic viral hepatitis, but a comprehensive evaluation of the factors that might account for discrepancy in diagnostic accuracy between TE and the standard of care liver biopsy (LB) is still needed.
Patients with chronic hepatitis-B (HBV, n=104) or -C (HCV, n=453) underwent percutaneous LB concomitantly with TE (FibroScan®; Echosens, Paris, France). Liver cell necroinflammatory activity (A) and fibrosis (F) were assessed by METAVIR. Perisinusoidal fibrosis was rated with a 0–3 score. Determinants of TE results were investigated by a linear regression model whereas discordance between TE and LB results was assessed by logistic regression.
Fibrosis (p<0.0001) and liver cell necroinflammatory activity (p<0.0001) were independently associated with TE results in both HBV and HCV patients, whereas steatosis (p<0.0001) was independently associated with TE in HCV only. Fibrosis overestimation was predicted by severe/moderate necroinflammatory activity in HBV and by older age (41–60 or>60years vs.<40), >2 UNL AST and>2 UNL GGT, as well as severe/moderate necroinflammatory activity and severe/moderate steatosis in HCV. In the latter patients, however, moderate/severe necroinflammatory activity and steatosis were the only independent predictors of fibrosis overestimation.
Fibrosis and necroinflammatory activity are the main determinants of TE in chronic viral hepatitis. Since TE staging of Fibrosis is influenced by necroinflammatory activity and steatosis, a diagnostic LB is deemed necessary for a reliable intra-patient TE monitoring of the course of viral hepatitis.

Corboy & Demetrio Founding Partner Thomas Demetrio has obtained a jury verdict of $1.2 million on behalf of the families of two Japanese students who were killed when the Cessna twin-engine plane they were flying on crashed into the Grand Canyon.
The two young women, both 22, were killed when the Cessna crashed shortly after taking off from the Grand Canyon National Park Airport in July of 1980.
The verdict came after a three-week trial, which included testimony that the plane was manufactured and sold in a defective condition because it did not have a fuel injection system.
The verdict was against the manufacturer of the plane, the Cessna Aircraft Co., and Scenic Airlines, Inc., which operated the sightseeing service.

Claire Harman began her career in publishing, at Carcanet Press and the poetry magazine PN Review, where she was co-ordinating editor in the 1980s. Her first book, a biography of the writer Sylvia Townsend Warner, was published in 1989 and won the John Llewellyn Rhys Prize for 'a writer of growing stature' under the age of 35. She has since published biographies of Fanny Burney and Robert Louis Stevenson and edited works by Stevenson and Warner. Jane's Fame, a study of Austen's authorship and reception, was published in 2009 and her new biography of Charlotte Bronte will be published in October 2015. Claire has taught English at the Universities of Manchester and Oxford and creative writing at Columbia University in New York City.
'The Mighty Hudson' – shortlisted for the 2015 Forward Prize for Best Single Poem – began with a sweeping comment from an American friend showing her the view over the Hudson river in upstate New York: the phrase "The Mighty Hudson" set her thinking. "I thought what a great name for a strong man that would be, and I suppose that, and the place-names along the drive and the look of the blazing autumn leaves all lodged in my mind somehow."
"The story of the poem emerged quiet effortlessly but is entirely made up. I was very impressed by how plausible it seemed, so made up the epigraph from the newspaper – and the newspaper – to give it some actual credibility. And I had a sense of the rhythm before any of the story, even: that long thrumming line seemed to be there in advance, appropriate and anticipatory. There's something inherently deadpan about it."

Simple is better.
So if you've been following me for a while you've probably heard of my comic Apple Pi love. Originally I wanted to do a lot with it... but I think I need to really scale back the idea and simplify it in order to make it a more tangible and real thing.
Originally the story was going to take place in a real world much like our own, but also an MMORPG called "the world". This game was supposed to be the game everyone played it was so big and popular but very self contained. The World was literally its own universe filled with many many deep rich characters. The online portion of the story focused primarily on one theme; independence. Originally the game was run by two very powerful guilds and in order to be successful you had to bend to the will of one of them. Apple Pi E Love (our heroes) goal was to prove that you didn't need to be a guild member in order to be successful. Its a neat idea but how do we really define success? Become rich? Run a successful guild? Control territory? Monopolize a trade? My issue with this particular plot line is it was the basic idea was just too open. The world was much much to big for something I did when I was a full time father and full time employee.
So I decided to scale back the online portion of the story a huge amount and make the game a sort of fighting game. Again those of you who know me well and have been following the blog and my YouTube know I'm a huge fan of competitive games. I was a very competitive smash brothers player. and I try to get into League of Legends and do work when ever I get the opportunity as well. So I wanted to make a game for my comic that mimicked these.
Could a deep world exist in a game like this? Sure, but the game's story didn't have to be so rooted in the mechanics of the game to the point where it was the plot. I can get away with JUST explaining mechanics in the comic quickly, and not have people confused or lacking information to the overall plot or rules of the world. And ironically this also gives my story more focus. How do you become successful in a fighting/arena game? You win your matches. So the plot can be much more focused; win a championship, win a local tournament, win a match. These are all very obtainable and definite goals where as "being successful" In a virtual sandbox is much harder for a reader to quickly grasp and understand.
So now instead of a plot summary reading some thing like.
Pi and E set out to prove that as independent unguilded players you can a successful"The World" player. While outside of the game Pi balances his real world responsibilities with his duties in the game and to the mysterious E a female gamer he has never even met!
It can be more like:
Pi and E set out to become the worlds top ranked doubles team in the popular arena game "The World". While outside of the game Pi balances his real world responsibilities with his duties in the game and to the mysterious E a female gamer he has never even met!
Hmm... It may not seem like much of a change but its gonna save me days of back stories and world creation. I look forward to doing more posts like this one. Keeping you guys informed on changes within the story.
As always guys thanks for reading. I know it was a bunch this time. If you have any comments questions or suggestions on this piece or future ones please leave them below for me. As always God bless, be safe.


The coal mine represented even more than a fashion of constructing a residing to the miners of Thurber, Texas, within the past due 19th and early 20th centuries-it represented a lifestyle. Coal mining ruled Thurber's paintings existence, and miners ruled its social existence. the big immigrant inhabitants that crammed the mines in Thurber represented greater than a dozen countries, which lent a distinctiveness to this Texas city. In 1888 Robert D. Hunter and the Texas & Pacific Coal corporation based Thurber at the website of Johnson Mines, a small coal-mining village at the western fringe of North relevant Texas the place Palo Pinto, Erath, and Eastland counties converged. for nearly 40 years the corporate mined coal and owned and operated a city that by way of 1910 served as domestic to greater than 3 thousand citizens. Marilyn Rhinehart examines the tradition of the miners' paintings, the demographics and social lifetime of the neighborhood, and the advantages and constraints of lifestyles in a firm city.

This booklet examines the commercial ecology of 2 hundred years of ironmaking with renewal strength assets in northwestern Connecticut. It makes a speciality of the cultural context of people's judgements approximately know-how and the surroundings, and the slow transition they effected of their land from commercial panorama to pastoral nation-state.
In the 1870s and 1880s, native whites and northern and western Europeans, most of them highly skilled and familiar with union organizations, filled the industry. 26 In the Southwest, mining companies transported the first mine workers by special train from Pennsylvania and the Midwest. From 1895 through the turn of the century, however, southern and eastern European immigrants, whose numbers entering the United States reached high tide by 1900, poured into southwestern coal mining centers like Thurber.
Born in South Wales in 1869, he emigrated to the United States at age eleven with his parents, Thomas and Eliza. Thomas Gower, a coal miner by occupation, first settled his family in Illinois in 1880, but in pursuit of more steady work moved them to Indian Territory and then to northern Texas, where a son-in-law dug coal. 6 His memories of Thurber in its infancy as a "Bull-Pen" (the town Page xvii probably reminded him of a cattle pen where people were treated like animals) and of the protest activity of "underground patriots" indicate in the simplest of terms that adverse working and living conditions there produced a protest movement with far-reaching consequences.
Considering that the closest commercial coal resources were 625 miles away in Indian Territory, the existence of those reserves assumed an even greater significance. 2 The railroads, so anxious to see the development of the state's coal reserves, apparently even offered rewards for the discovery of coal along their lines. Jay Gould's Texas and Pacific Railroad demonstrated a particular interest in coal resources in Erath, Palo Pinto, and surrounding counties by 1880, when management extended the line west of Fort Worth into the sparsely populated Texas frontier.

So its the last day of October and its time to explain what exactly all this excitement is about!
Well, I have been invited by a blogger whose style I absolutely adore, Jojo from iCurvy, to join in her challenge. And the challenge involves creating a capsule collection, something I have always been interested in. As a stylist I think this is an extremely useful way for me to demonstrate how best to pick great pieces that will take you a long way in terms of outfit planning.
So quickly to shed some light on the rules- I have to pick 30 and only 30 pieces of clothing including tops. bottoms and outerwear AND shoes (yes, you can imagine my misery!) to wear over the next 30 days. All outfits will have to be created making combinations out of the pieces chosen to form this capsule collection. Handbags, scarves and jewellery are exempt.
I had to strike a balance between the corporate and the casual pieces including the shoes. I also tried to pick some pieces that might be interchangeable between these two. Another factor was having enough versatile neutral yet not making it too boring. I've added a fair bit of pattern (dots and stripes) and some colour to make outfits livelier although this can be done by addition of accessories too!
I will be attending a religious workshop on 22nd and 23rd November and have an Indian dress code for those days. So I will not be following the rules for that period.
To see my daily style ideas follow along on Instagram and Facebook. I will also be doing weekly round ups here on the website.
I'm excited to be taking on this challenge with you. Great selection of items! Hello stripy goodness.
I love that you've got a fair amount of pattern. Me too! My wardrobe wouldn't be mine if it didn't, though it would be so much easier without. Can't wait to see what you do with it all.
Oh my! I saw the outfits on Instagram and didn't quite understand the challenge. Now I do! It's an amazing challenge. I can't wait for your posts now.


Djiti's Production is a fairly new model company from France, specializing in 1/35 scale resin figures and AFV accessories/conversions. Djiti's Production latest figure releases depict French ISAF troops, a fresh theme in the figure modeling world... The first in the series is French ISAF Soldier (35005), a figure depicting a French soldier inspecting an old Lee Enfield rifle confiscated from an enemy weapon stash.
The parts are cast in grey resin and are mostly clean of casting imperfections; I did notice two thin seam lines along the legs of the figure and one seam line going along the bottom of the Lee Enfield rifle... not very pronounced but those still need to be carefully removed. I also noticed couple of minor air-bubbles which can be easily filled with putty. Be careful while cleaning the weapon parts as those are very delicate. The assembly of the figure is quite straightforward and the fit of the parts is quite good. The only thing I don't really like is the fit of the confiscated weapon to the hands of the figure... the grip is too loose and no matter how I positioned the arms, the rifle seems to be "floating" on the hands. The description on Djiti's homepage states the modeler can use different confiscated weapons (ie RPG) with this figure, and I think this was the idea behind this kind of figure break-up.
The figure depicts a French ISAF soldier inspecting an old Lee Enfield rifle probably discovered in a hidden Taliban weapon stash. I managed to find a photo album of French ISAF troops with confiscated weapons and perhaps those were used as an inspiration for sculpting this figure. The figure is wearing new style OPEX Guerrilla combat shirt and uniform trousers with privately purchased Magnum boots. Much more comfortable than the old F2 uniform and with low IR signature, Guerrilla is the new standard uniform issued to French troops in Afghanistan. The new combat shirt eliminates bulky fabric from the chest/back areas and is constructed from a special fabric blend which reduces the severity of burn injuries and helps protect against flash fires, but also breathes, wicks away moisture, and dries quickly. Designed to be combined with body armor, the shirt pockets are displaced to upper sleeves.
The most prominent features of Guerilla pants are an adjustable belt, reinforced seat and knees, 2 front slash pockets, 2 back pockets and 2 large cargo pockets. The figure is also wearing Releasable Assault Vest (RAV) by MSA Paraclete. RAV features single-point release, full PALS webbing, sewn-on drag strap, integrated drink tube and communication channels, zip-off back panel and full modular system of add-on accessories. Several different MOLLE modular pouches are sculpted on the vest. As for the headgear, the figure sports TC F helmet made by MSA Paraclete. TC F is the new helmet issued to French ISAF troops; it replaced older style Spectra helmet.
The figure is armed with the latest version of FAMAS, a bullpup assault rifle designed and manufactured in France by MAS. FAMAS is the standard rifle of French military and the weapon portrayed in this kit features extra forward grip and an additional Aimpoint Red Dot scope mounted on the handguard.
All the equipment is very nicely executed in scale and it is obvious the sculptor did his homework as I found an excellent match to the references I gathered on French ISAF. The details on the Guerilla uniform are finely rendered with the folds well defined. Both RAV body armor and TC helmet look great, too. The FAMAS is particularly nice, a weapon shape not easy to reproduce realistically in scale... with the latest gizmo's like additional optic scope and forward grip, the FAMAS really looks amazing.
This kit is a very nice addition to the growing list of non-US modern figures. The anatomy of the figure looks good and it is sculpted well with lots of details. The cast is good although I did find some minor molding flaws. All the equipment looks spot on. I'm really looking forward to seeing more in this French ISAF figure series from Djiti.
Highs: Unique subject, well researched and very nicely executed in scale.
Lows: Some minor casting imperfections.
I agree with the argument about the hands. How much more difficult would it be to open up the thumbs? As is, I'd cut away the thumbs and scratch a new pair. A little scuply or epoxy putty would take care of this problem.

Q: SpringBoot @Scheduled random delay between every two executions I'm fairly new to SpringBoot, and trying to use @Scheduled to execute a certain task with delays.
I know there is fixedDelay parameter that can set to have a fixed delay between two executions in a row.
What I need is, is there anyway to set a random delay between every two executions? (I mean every delay is randomly set, but not having a random delay set to fixedDelay)
What I can come up with is, use a fixedDelay, plus a random seconds of Thread.sleep() inside the execution, but feel like there should be a more correct way to do this.

A: Seems like there is no way to make this happen by using spring's api.
I ended up with making 2 schedules with 2 different fixedDelay and both of them execute the same task, e.g: first one with delay of 27 sec while the second has 43 sec, so it looks like the target task being executed with a random delay rather than a fixed one.

Grasp regulatory issues and the principles of public utility pricing...Start with basic theory; learn what multiple functions public utility rates are designed to perform; understand the four primary functions rate regulations must perform; examine what constitutes fairness of rates; and wrap it all up with the criteria for judging a sound rate structure.
The revised manual contains new material reflective of isses and changes in this evolving water industry. The manual provides guidance and recommendations on choosing rate structures and setting water rates, fees, and charges which will cover utility costs and future needs. The manual covers all types of rate structures, such as block rates, uniform rates, conservation rates, surcharges, and many others.
A Practical Guide to the Retail Rate Setting Process for Regulated Electric and Natural Gas Utilities. This book explains how the traditional rate-setting process is commonly done for energy utilities. This book includes a discussion of revenue requirement, rate base, cost of capital, expenses, revenues, rate-making objectives, cost of service studies, rate design, the rate case process, tariff policies, metering, service quality and other types of cases affecting rates. The book concludes with a numerical example showing the calculation steps from revenue requirement to rate design.
Accounting for Public Utilities provides a comprehensive analysis of accounting for public utilities, bringing into focus all the special types of accounting rules, situations, and adaptations that are essential in this highly specialized industry. Highlights include: • Discussion of ratemaking concepts, including styles of ratemaking, determining utility rate base, cost allocations and normalization • Analysis of regulatory accounting and reporting requirements • Explanation of accounting for taxes, public utility regulation, management accounting systems, pricing and depreciation Don't miss this essential guide, packed with insightful analysis and discussion and custom designed for anyone who needs an accounting reference for public utilities.
This book synthesises the vast literature on economic regulation into a coherent overview of regulatory theory and practice.
Industry Structure and Pricing: The New Rivalry in Infrastructure extends current economic models by incorporating effects of actual and potential rivalry in markets outside the markets of immediate interest. Focusing on the contestable model, the author shows how diverse patterns of actual and potential rivalry, called multilateral rivalry or MLR, affect the appropriateness of many regulatory policies. It is specifically shown that many conclusions of the contestability literature are overly generous to firms that might want to protect or extend their monopoly positions. While this book's refinement to existing economic theory gives strong results, it is still based on static production functions and demands - integrated to provide a dynamic view of multilateral rivalry.
The relationship between competition and trade policies, and the development of an effective competition policy for an integrated world economy, is one of the most important and challenging issues policy makers currently face. This book examines the current debates around competition and trade policy interactions, and discusses the need for new policy initiatives in an international context.
The idea for this book came from my decision to update an article by Roy C. McCullough entitled "Insurance Rates in the Courts" published in the June and July 1961 issues of the Insurance Law Journal. When this project began, the intention was to produce a similar journal article surveying insurance rate litiga tion between 1960 and the present using basically the same organization followed in the seminal article. However, the volume of reported cases during the last twenty years was much larger than anticipated and the issues being litigated had expanded dramatically. The project grew as my study progressed, and the resulting book surveys more than three hundred disputes involving insurance ratemaking and insurance rate regulation. The fruition of this project would not have been possible without the consistent encouragement and criticism of Roy McCullough, and it is with gratitude that I acknowledge his continuous and valuable assistance to me in this effort. Once an initial draft was prepared, a number of my associates cooperated by reading and commenting on the manuscript. I would like to give special thanks to Michael J. Miller and James F. Perry who unselfishly shared their time and knowledge to improve this work. Needless to say, none of those who read the manuscript is responsible for any errors in concept or detail that may remain.
This new edition consolidates and updates information from four earlier rate manuals into one easy-to-use resource. Basic principles of water rates, fees, and charges are covered, along with specifics such as the determindation of costs of water service by customer class, connection and service charges, wholesale rates, and more.
Principles of Public Policy Practice was written with policy makers, concerned citizens, and students of public policy in mind. Striving to avoid technical language, the author introduces a new paradigm that starts from the commonality of human nature and the assumption that public policy should be impartial. Rather than playing the interests of one group versus those of another, he argues convincingly that public policy should aim at enhancing the ex ante welfare for everyone if everyone did not know the position or the identity one would assume. Using this conceptual device of the representative individual, the analysis readily leads to policy implications that are both reasonable and concrete in diverse areas ranging from health care, crime and punishment to macroeconomic and financial market stability. The book concludes with a chapter summarizing the various principles of public policy practice that will meet the challenges of the new millennium. These principles, certainly of interest to academics in social sciences who are studying public policy, political economy, international financial systems, and capital markets, should appeal equally to practitioners, including public policy makers, consultants, advisers, administrators, and public service trade unions.

Julio Jones Trade Marks Sad Day for Atlanta Sports
Posted on June 6, 2021 June 6, 2021 Author Dave Holcomb Comments Off on Julio Jones Trade Marks Sad Day for Atlanta Sports
The Hawks won Game 1 of the Eastern Conference Semifinals to take an early-series lead against the Philadelphia 76ers. The Braves defeated the Los Angeles Dodgers, 4-2, to win two of three over the reigning World Series champions this weekend.
Sounds like an all-around wonderful sports day for Atlanta. Instead, it wasn't because the Falcons reportedly came to terms on a trade agreement to ship two-time All-Pro wide receiver Julio Jones to the Tennessee Titans.
Full terms:
The #Falcons get a 2022 2nd round pick and Atlanta gets the titans 4 in 2023 and they give back their 6 in 2023.
The Titans get Julio Jones.
— Ian Rapoport (@RapSheet) June 6, 2021
The #Titans deal for Julio Jones:
— The #Falcons get a 2022 2nd rounder and a 2023 4th rounder.
— The #Titans get Julio Jones & a 6th rounder in 2023.
— The #Titans take on Jones' salary of $15.3M in 2021 and the rest of the deal.
— #Falcons have $7.75M in dead money this year.
It's probably a bridge too far to state it doesn't matter what the Falcons received in return for Jones. Obviously, getting a second-round selection is better than a third-round pick. Had a team offered a first-rounder, that would have been even better for the Falcons.
But no compensation changes the fact Jones, arguably the greatest player in franchise history, will no longer be playing in Atlanta. Call me and the upset section of the Falcons fanbase nostalgic all you want. Even in an era where few players finish their careers with the teams that draft him, that's sad.
Jones made it abundantly clear in his phantom interview on Skip and Shannon: Undisputed that he didn't want to be in Atlanta anymore. Whether it was the contract, Matt Ryan's arm strength, or wanting to play for a 2021 Super Bowl contender, Jones did not want to be part of the Falcons anymore.
So a deal was necessary. Even still, that doesn't make it any less sad.
Headlines will read that the Falcons new regime failed to acquire a first-round pick for the team's best player. You can be upset about that too, but considering the position Jones placed the organization in following that interview, his injury past (Jones missed five of the last six games in 2020) and age (32), the package the Falcons received was about the best they could have hoped for this offseason.
Whether you agree with me on that point about the compensation received or not doesn't change the fact this is a sad day for Atlanta sports.
Before agreeing to a new contract extension with Jones before the 2019 season, Falcons owner Arthur Blank said the wide receiver would be a "Falcon for life." Less than two years later, Jones will no longer wear black and red.
In a way, Blank's statement will still be true. Jones left an undoubtable mark on the Falcons and Atlanta sports. He led the NFL in receiving twice while posting seven 1,000-yard receiving seasons. Jones departs ranked first in receptions (848), first in yards (12,896) and second in touchdowns (60) in Falcons history.
For that and all the memories, no tribute video is worthy of saying goodbye. But Sunday, the Falcons released one anyway, and it will surely cause a few tears to weld in the eyes of Atlanta sports fans.
Because of you, 11 will always mean more. pic.twitter.com/SJQaT4URNX
— Atlanta Falcons (@AtlantaFalcons) June 6, 2021
But that's a tribute video that Atlanta fans wanted to see when Jones was ready to retire. Not before a season where the Falcons are hoping to retool on the fly to make another run at the postseason with a 36-year-old quarterback.
Even if the Falcons had managed to land a first-rounder in this deal, because the trade is happening during June instead of in April, the Falcons won't reap the full benefits of it for at least a year if not two or three. Sure, they opened salary cap space now, but by the time that 2023 fourth-round pick the Falcons will reportedly receive from Tennessee is ready to make an impact, Ryan could be turning 39.
There will be plenty of time to analysis and debate compensation for Jones later. For now, it's just sad that it's the end of a terrific era for the Falcons.

Q: Magento: How to edit the admin panel sales order listing table? I was wondering if someone could help me as I'm really confused and spent around 2 days so far on this.
I was wondering how I can edit/add columns/manipulate the data in the admin sales order table, eg the list of orders in the admin panel..
What template file controls the formatting of this table?
I would like to do so without editing the core aswell.
Any help or advice would be much appreciated!
Many thanks

A: I suggest you have a look at the EnhancedGrid module: http://www.magentocommerce.com/magento-connect/enhanced-admin-product-grid.html
You can download the source code here. This module also modifies the sales grid (with all the orders). It's possible that you achieve what you are looking for by just installing this module ;)

A: I would like to recommend you some articles regarding to this question. One of them is mine:

A: <--Enable Template Hints for Admin-->
app/code/core/Mage/Core/etc/system.xml

Find Template Path Hints  Around Line 517 change 0 to 1
Find Add Block Names to Hints  Around Line 526 change 0 to 1
This will allow you to view the Template Hints and Block Names for the Admin Panel. You will then be able to figure out which file to edit.
System->Config->Developer->Debug (must be in Default Store)
Best practice is to move this into a Community or Local folder before edit, but for some reason this does not work with system.xml files. So I just have this as a step in my upgrade process.
I know this was an old post but just in case someone comes across this, it may help them out.
