A C E supplements are potentially harmful.
According to the late Victor Herbert www.victorherbert.com Vitamin C and Vitamin E and betacarotene are failures as supplements. Antioxidants don't necessarily stop free radicals as the most potent free radical generator is iron- a reductant not an oxidant!. Vitamin C recharges Fe3+ back to Fe2+ which can then release another electron. This explains the poor performance of C in trials. Also C enhances digestion of iron and thus severely aggravates haemochromatosis which is an archetypal oxidative stress disease. If you are one of the large portion (about 10% of White and African populations) of the population who are a carrier for a haemochromatosis gene then Herbert indicates the Vitamin C dosages over 75mg per day will increase iron absorption to the same amount as being a full sufferer of haemochromatosis (homozygote with 2 haemochromatosis genes not one). Perhaps Vitamin C supplements over 75mg should carry a warning or be on prescription only!!!!!
I can't find any body of evidence to show that CoEnzyme Q10 or alpha lipoic acid are harmful. Personally I recommend taking a wide variety of fruit and vegetables, and root vegetables (Red sweet potatoes, turnips, swedes).
Nobody has researched the antioxidant capacity of root vegetables, last I looked, and this is probably because turnips aren't glamorous.
Also note that bilirubin is a major antioxidant, possibly one of the most important. Many people have genetically high bilirubin (Gilbert's syndrome) and this may give them some protection. The only paper I found on heart disease showed a significant reduction with Gilberts, but probably needs more research.
On the other hand Folic acid, B12 and B6 seem very benefical except for one silly trial that involved intravenous B12 loading dosage.
McCord J The evolution of free radicals and oxidative stress. Am J Med. 2000 Jun 1;108(8):652-9.
This was an introduction to a series of about 6 articles which are very high powered covering various organ systems etc. You can follow up other editions of the journal for the few weeks after to get the papers (online via academic subscription). The others are mainly by different authors.
McCord & Fridovich discovered superoxide dismutase (SOD) in the 60's so he's one of the leading authorities. Much antioxidant power is enzyme derived and SOD is the classic.
Of course, Paleolithic Diets are so rich in vitamins A C and E that there is no point in supplementing them anyway!

is a volcanic, deserted island located in the Philippine Sea approximately  off the coast of Aogashima, near the southern end of the Izu archipelago, Japan.

Geography
The island is a basalt and olivine pillar with sheer sides, the only visible portion of an active submarine volcanic caldera extending south of the island with a circumference of approximately . The above sea-level portion has a height of . The island is estimated to have been created by a volcanic eruption around 20,000 years ago. In the immediate vicinity are numerous exposed and awash rocks. Due to its shape and heavy seas it is difficult to disembark on the island, although at times fishermen are known to have landed. The abundance of fish in the surrounding waters have made it attractive for both sport and commercial fishing.

History
The island has been known by Japanese fishermen and mariners from an early time. In 1870, a submarine eruption was recorded NNE of the island, resulting in the formation of a new islet, named , with a height of . The islet has subsequently sunk beneath sea level due to erosion. From 1974 to 1977, a series of underwater eruptions have been recorded, discoloring water in the area. In November 1991, a fishing vessel reported that a large section of the island's northern face had collapsed, resulting in a significant change in its profile. Further changes to the island's profile were recorded after 1992 earthquakes.

Sumisu-tō is administratively part of Tokyo Metropolis.

Dominican Scholar - Scholarly & Creative Works Conference 2019: Does He Wear the Halo: Cognitive Bias When Perceiving the Personality of a Man.
Does He Wear the Halo: Cognitive Bias When Perceiving the Personality of a Man.
The Halo Effect is a type of positive cognitive bias that occurs when interpreting an individual's personality because we are influenced by their physical appearance and/or interpersonal attraction. Within this study, undergraduate students at a liberal arts university in Northern California ages 18-35 will be asked to look at an online survey and accompanying photograph. In the online survey participants will be randomly assign to look at a photo of a male surrounded by women who have been dressed to look as stereotypically attractive as possible or at a photo of the same man surrounded by the same women that have been dressed to look stereotypically unattractive and then complete a Big Five personality survey of the man in the photo (Goldberg, 1992). In the beginning of the survey, there will be questions to draw the participant's attention to the women in the photo, guaranteeing that the participants notice the women in the photo rather before interpreting the personality of the man. Previous research shows the effects of physical and vocal attractiveness on impressions of politicians (Sarawski & Ossoff, 2006), where both vocal and physical attractiveness were equally important in determining an impression. Other research investigating judgments made about teachers who are being accused of criminal sexual contact with their students, when gender and attractiveness are manipulated, suggest that attractiveness-driven halo effects are not ubiquitous, but rather relate to the gender of the perpetrator and their attractiveness (Austin et al, 2013). Participants did not believe a sexual offense was committed when they were assessing whether to convict an attractive male teacher, but strongly believed that attractive female teacher should be convicted. The research in the present study is examining whether a male observer will have a significantly higher positive cognitive bias of extraversion, social success, agreeableness, and openness when perceiving another man who is surround by attractive women rather than the same man surrounded by the dowdy women, where as women will not.


The European cyclo-cross championship will take place from 2 to 4 November at the Autotron Rosmalen (The Netherlands) site. During this European Championship, the Simac logo will be clearly in the picture as one of the main sponsors. All European top cyclists will appear at the start, such as Marianne Vos, Mathieu van der Poel and the Belgian world champions Wout van Aert and Sanne Cant.
Under the guidance of former world champion Richard Groenendaal, a course will be created for the European Championship at the Autotron. One of the most spectacular parts will be a huge sandbox where participants have to go through every round. The decoration of this sandbox will be entirely in Simac colors. And also in many other places on the course the Simac logos come back. The Simac logo, for example, is put back on 350 meters of banner and on various large LED screens.
The competitions of the Elite ladies and gentlemen will be broadcast live on television in several European countries. It is expected that in the Netherlands and Belgium more than three million people will watch the men's fight and one million go to the ladies. Since both countries are important markets for Simac, this European Championship offers a great opportunity to work on brand awareness. Moreover, it is a good opportunity to receive various relationships as a VIP guest during this event.

Short Stories about Painting
Dennis, Jeffrey (2005) Short Stories about Painting. [Show/Exhibition]
Show/Exhibition
Dennis, Jeffrey
The project explored the hypothesis that meaning, within contemporary painting practice, is embedded in physical undertaking, working methods and materials. It drew upon my practice experience, and how that was informed by films such as Painters Painting, 1973, by Emile de Antonio, documenting the New York art scene in a series of studio conversations.
Twenty artists, writers, researchers and critics participated. The project manifestations as a whole comprise a coherent triangulation of experience, scientific research and mythology in: an exhibition; filmed interviews with artists; a book of interviews and stories, fictional and factual; a symposium; and a website. The Painting Conservation Team at Tate Britain collaborated on the ethical and physical challenges of restoring and preserving internationally important artefacts of painting.
As well bringing a spectrum of approaches to bear on the subject, from scientific research (e.g. the microscopic examination of paint cross-sections, and the formulation of chemical formulae for new materials that artists' work demands), through new historical insights from the analysis of and reflection on particular paintings, to absurdist, revelatory humour, the project sought to record the often overlooked, casually exchanged insights about painting practice that occur in artists' studios.
The symposium, with speakers who had contributed to various aspects of the project, enabled some of our findings to be shared directly with the artistic research community, as well as the wider public. It also provided an opportunity to test whether this form of conversational exchange may elicit insights from the artists that would remain outside normal forums of exchange.

I'm interested in investigating gravity driven instabilities, both in rock and in icy media, in order to predict the occurrence of (catastrophic) Rock Slope Failures (RSF). To do so, my current research interests range from the use of high resolution techniques and methods for 3D experimental data collection (remote sensing techniques, Structure-from-motion, new dynamic sensors, etc.), to the development of innovative algorithms for the characterization, monitoring and modelling of progressive failures, including the influence of external forces (precipitation) on the dynamics of the phenomena. I'm fluent in different languages (English, French, Spanish and Catalan) and highly motivated in learning and developing new 4D research methods and techniques. Also, I love outdoors sports, photography, nature and most importantly, I am married with a wonderful woman and our family is growing up… that's great ! ^^

The politics of the European university are a perennial theme for higher education institutions although most of the time people understand this to refer to the organisation of power inside academia: what structures can help universities to be more effective in meeting their instructional and investigative ambitions and how can individuals - professors, administrators or students reach consensus or find their way to common achievement? The problem focuses on developing a community of purpose among university members. This is not the approach proposed in the 2006 yearly event of the Magna Charta Observatory.
The politics of the European university can also be understood as the ways academia integrates the society it is part of: what is the role public authorities expect universities to play in developing the polis, how should this supportive social function be encouraged, monitored or steered? The question is about the dialogue between the university and its supporting group, that is the definition of common purposes for the better future of a community the institution belongs to. This is the approach to European politics of higher education the organisers proposed in 2006.
Hence the need not to limit the debate to intra-university considerations but to open the discussion to a wide group of social partners, in particular the politicians who determine the conditions and constraints defining the scope and means of academic teaching and research. And such a definition of higher education functions has a long history in Europe: universities in the Middle Ages were to train those professionals organising people and society, not to say people in society: they were the physician, the jurist and the cleric who had been formed in the major faculties (Medicine, Law or Theology) after a preliminary training in the Arts, the minor faculty that offered shared references in language, on the way to personal expression, and in mans place in the cosmos, thus setting obligations to the persons natural and cultural environment. At the Renaissance, universities fought for specific understandings of mans humanity, taking side for the Reformation or the Counter-Reformation and becoming political tools for transforming society to new ideals. In the 19th century, universities were understood as the shapers of national belonging, the centres where people could learn and share a common view of existence that made sense of group identity.
Who are we in society and how does collective belonging influence each individuals growth? Is the university the crucible where to debate the reproduction and the renewal of the community or is it the forum where to imagine the future of wealth and invent the technologies leading to material and intellectual development? These perennial questions, political by nature, were also asked after World War II - as they are posed today. That is why the Observatory commissioned a historian of institutions, like Anne Corbett from the London School of Economics and Political Science, to put in long-term perspective the expectations governments and officials have had of universities as partners in European integration. It also offered as background material the recommendation which the Parliamentary Assembly of the Council of Europe voted on 2 June 2006 on the needs for academic freedom and institutional autonomy in todays Europe. That is also why political figures with a strong interest in higher education were given the floor in the 2006 Bologna event, be they MPs (Morten stergaard from Denmark) or former Ministers of Education (Luigi Berlinguer in Italy or Jaak Aaviksoo in Estonia) or former Prime Ministers (Garrett FitzGerald in Ireland) not to speak of the present Deputy Secretary General of the Council of Europe in Strasbourg (Maud de Boer-Buquicchio).
From these points and counterpoints should grow the image of a European university with political rights and obligations, an institution committed to the long-term transformation of society. This is not necessarily the functions academics would like to take up but societys changing hopes and intellectual ambitions certainly represent constraints and conditions for the development of their institution in Europe. The addresses and interventions made in Bologna in September 2006 (see below) should help determine what is, for today and tomorrow, the most relevant identity of a truely political asset for our societies, the university- in its European integration context in particular.

History of Texans Numbers
Breakfast: Top 5 QBs the Texans will face in 2016
The Texans start the season a scant 51 days from today, when the Chicago Bears come to NRG Stadium for the first time since 2008. On that day, the Texans will square off against Jay Cutler.
Is he one of the top five quarterbacks the Texans will face in 2016?
Here are the top five quarterbacks that the Texans will face in 2016, all things considered and known at this point in the off-season.
5. Andy Dalton, Bengals
66.1% completion
3,250 yards, 25 TD and seven INT (in only 13 games)
Had Dalton not gotten hurt late in the year, there's no telling what Cincinnati could've done in the playoffs with him in charge. The Texans held him in check on Monday Night Football last year, but he picked them apart with the short passing game here at NRG Stadium in 2014. The man has loved playing in this building since his days at Katy High School.
4. Philip Rivers, Chargers
4,792 yards, 29 TD and 13 INT
Good 'ol boy Rivers can still sling the rock as evidenced by his numbers in 2015. He'll take chances at times and can make awkward off balance throws with the best of them. He's so smart and that manifests itself in the way he can pick apart a defense early and often in 60 minutes of action. With Keenan Allen in tow, he has a definite threat on the perimeter that could allow for big numbers through the air each and every week.
3. Derek Carr, Raiders
The more I thought about this list of top five quarterbacks the Texans will face, the more worried I got thinking about Carr. The former Clements High School grad was outstanding in only his second season and he has weapons, including a star in second year wideout Amari Cooper. The Texans faced him in only the second start of his career in 2014 and he showed glimpses of what he could be two years ago. His progress will be seen front and center in Mexico City in late November.
2. Andrew Luck, Colts
Injured for much of 2015
55.3% completion1,881 yards, 15 TD and 12 INT
The Texans didn't see the Colts franchise QB either game in 2015, but he's been a thorn in the Texans side for years. He's at No. 2 in large part because he has been so good against Houston in the years that he has played against them and he is probably the biggest worry in the AFC South.
1. Aaron Rodgers, Packers
3,821 yards, 31 TD and eight INT
With Tom Brady presumably suspended for the first four games of the 2016 season, the narrow difference between he and Rodgers is eliminated. He didn't have the kind of season in 2015 that Packers fans, coaches and players have grown used to seeing him have. But, wide receiver Jordy Nelson returns and that should give Rodgers a tremendous boost in 2016...unfortunately.

SAINT-GOBAIN CANALISATION, thanks to its knowledge of the water cycle and an ambitious product development policy, has designed and perfected a complete range of products for sewerage.
DPI Plastics product manager, Mike de Villiers, says that the newly launched Durolok internal restraint joint for PVCU and PVCM pipes can make it easier for municipalities to repair reticulation and drainage pipes that may have been damaged by recent floods, even if they are in still waterlogged ground. "A major challenge facing municipalities at present is that permanent repairs to infrastructure damage can generally only take place after the water levels have subsided and the moisture content of the soil has returned to an acceptable level," says de Villiers.


The European Union has slapped import duties on Cambodian bicycle exporters it charges with flooding the European market with cut-rate, Chinese-sourced bicycles.
The 48.5 per cent duty expands the scope of anti-dumping duties on bicycles from China passed in 2013 to bikes from Cambodia, Pakistan and the Philippines, countries that have been used to circumvent the duties in China.
Cambodia, which benefits from a zero-tariff agreement with the EU under the Everything But Arms scheme, saw its bike exports to the EU almost triple from 2011 to 1.4 million in the period between September 2013 and August 2014, the European Commission's report said.
Although part of the increase was due to a rise in exports from "genuine" manufacturers, much of it came from exporters who had "no economic justification [to be in Cambodia] other than the duty", the report said.
Nevertheless, three of the five Cambodian companies who cooperated with the commission's investigation are exempt from the duties as they had either demonstrated an absence of ties to China or a lack of circumvention motive.
The European Commission began investigating the issue based on a 2014 request from the European Bicycle Manufacturers Association (EBMA).
Although the report stated that Cambodian authorities provided some information about Chinese bicycle imports, they "do not carry out cross checks between the Chinese export statistics and respective local import statistics".
The Ministry of Commerce did not respond to a request for comment.

So, yesterday and today I was at the office to have meetings with the aere team on the releases of the CHANGE collection (first #aereCHANGE release coming this Monday)!!, doing a post-mortem of sorts on aere's Singapore Fashion Week show and trunk show concluded just recently, working on the next aere's international fashion show coming up verrryyy soon THIS YEAR (guess where), and also working on aere's Eid collection too! It's all so exciting!
I'm actually supposed to be on leave now because of a personal family matter or since last week but there are just so many things going on so I've been working from home non stop at the same time juggling being a mom, work, blogging and family but I had to step into the office to get things done and plan for the future. As always, when there are a lot of exciting projects coming up, it also means a lot (and I mean a frigging LOT) of preparation and hard work to get things done on time. Thank goodness for my hard working team members, who really deserve a lot of credit for aere's growth this past year. They are amazing!
Anyways, I've just changed my phone and its all thanks to the husband for surprising me that midnight on my birthday. He knows me too well! Something I've been eyeing coz before this I've always brought my humungous DSLR everywhere I go. So now I'm trying to just use my phone instead so we will see how it goes.
So far, I'm loving it! This is my first OOTD using the phone and it was captured by Hazimah near the office just before my meeting on Eid 2018.
So here's me today wearing aere's NAENIE multi layered cropped top. If I tuck in the inner layer it looks like a cropped top, but without showing skin. One of the things that I love so much about being able to do aere is to hand pick my own fabrics. I still remember the exact moment a few months ago when I first laid my eyes on this gorgeous and soft Japanese fabric. I knew aere had to order it right there and then because it was just love at first touch and sight!!! Anyway, as I was rushing to the office I grabbed a pair of ripped jeans from FV Basics to match it with this top. Also wearing Dida Cosmetics Liquid Matte Lipstick in Hollywood.
This top has received a lot of compliments and comments when it was previewed on the recent KLFW show and when I wore the other design using the same fabric during KLFW in August - and will be released very soon - so keep your eyes out for it! That's right..

Granville woman faces breast cancer head on
Emily Maddern
emaddern@newarkadvocate.com
Editor's Note: Granville resident Stacey Heath was diagnosed with breast cancer in June. In hopes of encouraging more women to get mammograms, Heath has invited The Advocate to follow her journey. This is the first in a series of stories on her diagnosis and treatment.
GRANVILLE – Stacey Heath lounges casually on the couch in her living room, leaning against her husband with a smile on her face.
It's just another Thursday evening at home with her family. She reminds her daughter, Anna Kate, not to forget to
put the butter in the macaroni and cheese she's making in the kitchen. She remarks on the chaotic state of the house, a side effect of the full-scale renovation going on inside.
Heath's thoughts could mirror those of any mother or wife, except for one thing. Her thoughts are more than just thoughts; they are a protective strategy: Keep your mind busy, it's the only way not to think about it.
It being the breast cancer Heath now knows had been slowly growing in her left breast over the past year.
"The hardest part was saying it for the first time, 'I have cancer,' " Heath said. "Cancer is such a roller coaster. One minute you're on top feeling great about things, and then you find yourself going down the hill through a dip in the road. ... But you can't abandon your life."
So despite the fact that her life has changed dramatically in the past two months, some things are the same. Heath has kept to her routine, hanging out at the ballpark to watch her son Noah play baseball and shuttling her daughter to ballet workshops at Ballet Met.
All the while, she just kept telling herself that everything would be OK.
The C word
Heath admits she's one of those people who isn't a fan of going to the doctor. There is something about the experience that gets her a little unnerved, so when it came time for her annual mammogram in May, she couldn't help but feel dread.
At 45, this was only her fourth mammogram. She had been through the process before and lived, but it wasn't one she looked forward to. Heath entertained the thought of canceling the appointment and rescheduling it, but that little voice inside her head told her she should just go and get it over with.
So she did. Clothes off, gown on, some routine questions, a few uncomfortable pinches and that was that.
"I didn't even think anything about it," Heath said, remembering how carefree she felt when she walked out the door that day.
It was a few days later when she heard back from Licking Memorial Hospital. There was something on the scan the doctor wanted to get a better look at. There weren't any alarms going off in her head quite yet; Heath had known plenty of women who had gone in for a second look and it turned out to be nothing.
Back to the doctor's office she went for more intensive scans. Again she walked out feeling calm and reassured that nothing was wrong.
Heath had just made it to the traffic light at Cherry Valley Road on her drive home when her phone rang. It was her gynecologist. She needed Heath to come to her office to talk about the latest scan.
That was the first time Heath felt a sense of unease. She drove home to make plans for her kids, wondering what kind of news she would be getting in the next hour.
The news was that she needed a biopsy. The doctor drew a diagram of the breast and showed Heath where the scans had revealed clusters of calcifications that would indicate cellular activity, a.k.a. cancer. There was a 30 percent chance the calcifications were cancerous, to be exact.
"I'm a school teacher, so I'm thinking there's a 70 percent chance I'm fine, that's a C. It's average but to me not all right," Heath said. "I never felt any lumps or bumps, nothing. This totally caught me off guard. Then she asked me if I had a breast surgeon. Of course I didn't — I never needed one."
Her doctor made some recommendations for surgeons in the area. On her way out, Heath called a friend, Brett Yates Jump, who had gone through breast cancer hoping she could provide some comfort and advice on what the road a
head looked like. The friend told Heath what to expect with the biopsy, which calmed her nerves a little.
When she first laid down on the biopsy table, though, the nerves came back with a twinge of embarrassment. Imagine laying face down on a massage table, the ones with padded holes cut out at the top for the head to lay into. That's what the biopsy table was like, except instead of a hole for her face there were holes for her breasts, Heath said.
It made her feel uncomfortable and ridiculous. It was over quickly, and although it was a bit painful the doctor told her there was only a 20 percent chance she had cancer.
Heath was up to a B, bringing back some of her earlier reassurance that all would be well.
It was short lived though. Her doctor called a few days later, on June 2, and confirmed Heath's worst fear: She had breast cancer.
"When you hear the word cancer, it's a shock for sure," Heath said. "I told him I didn't have any history of breast cancer in my family, and he looked me straight in the eye and said most younger women who get breast cancer don't. I had no idea, and that's when it really hit me."
Out in the open
In those first few days, Heath broke down. The news was overwhelming and she gave into her emotions and just cried.
How was she going to tell her family? Her friends? She was already having trouble swallowing the "I have cancer" pill herself, how could she possibly force that on the people she loved?
After breaking the news to the family she gathered up the courage to "come out of the cancer closet," as she called it. Heath took to social media, sharing her story on Facebook for anyone who would listen.
In it she spoke openly about her diagnosis, how it made her feel and what would come next. She thanked the many people who had showered her with love and support, especially the many women who came before her.
Being open with her story meant having the chance to spread awareness, and that was something Heath wanted to take full advantage of.
"I feel I have been given this incredible gift of early detection. I am not going to bog you down with all the details but the bottom line is this ... a mammogram could be what has saved my life. I intend to pass my gift along to all who will listen," she wrote in the Facebook post.
Since then she has taken on the role of mammogram police, asking all of her female friends if they have had their annual mammogram.
Pretty soon people are going to see her coming down the street and turn away and run in fear of her interrogations, Heath said with a laugh. But that won't stop her. She is determined to make sure every woman she knows is getting her annual mammogram, no excuses.
At home the focus is different. There, being open is about not keeping secrets from her children, about making sure everyone in the family is on the same page.
Eleven-year-old Anna Kate has always been intuitive, Heath said, so the last few months have been somewhat difficult for her. Heath keeps telling her daughter that she has nothing to be worried about, but Anna Kate still is, at least a little bit.
"I try hard to stay positive, but sometimes it's all kind of confusing and frustrating," she said. "It's kind of hard because she has a lot of doctor appointments. ... I know what's going on but it's hard to wrap my mind around it."
Anna Kate's brother, Noah, has gone through a lot of emotions. But the 13-year-old exudes nothing but confidence when he talks about how he is getting through it.
"I just have faith that it's going to work out," he said matter-of-factly.
Faith has been a source of strength for everyone in the Heath family. They have said many prayers together and received countless others from friends and members of their church, Spring Hills Baptist Church in Granville. All those prayers and words of encouragement have surrounded the family with love and support, the likes of which they had never seen before.
It has made coming to terms with everything much easier, said Darin, Heath's husband.
"There's no question, what has made this so easy for me is the outpouring of support. There are people who could relate to her in a way that I couldn't," Darin said. "Since then I haven't really been that worried about it. We didn't realize on the front end what it was going to be, but I've felt pretty peaceful."
Heath has found a similar peace. After the initial dark days, when the shock was still setting in, she realized something. Two choices lay before her. The first was to let this cancer eat away at her, give up, curl up in a ball and stay in bed all day. The second was exactly the opposite, to get up and face the cancer head on.
She chose the latter and turned to her faith to guide her, and it was there in the presence of God that she found peace.
Heath tackled the biopsy and MRIs like a champion, never letting fear get the best of her. Her husband has been her rock throughout it all, cracking jokes when she needed it and reassuring her that no matter what she chose for the surgery that he supported it 100 percent.
And then her doctor told her exactly what she needed to hear.
"In my last consult, my doctor was on his way out of the room and he turned around, his hand was on the doorknob and he said, 'Stacey, you're not going to die from this, but you might lose a breast.'And that was it for me," Heath said.
For her treatment Heath elected to get a mastectomy on her left breast followed by a DIEP, deep inferior epigastric perforator. After her breast is removed surgeons will take fat and skin from her abdomen to form the breast shape.
Heath will go under go surgery Monday. The hardest part has been waiting, Heath said. The closer the date gets the more real it seems.
She is doing everything she can not to let her mind go to the dark places. It would be easy to give in to that, but she won't. The way she looks at it, she is prepared for the worst but expecting the best.
"I think about how blessed I am. If I had let this go and canceled my appointment, I don't know what would have happened but I can tell you it wouldn't have been good," she said. "Now all I want to do is share that with women, that a mammogram is not this horrible process and it could save your life. It saved mine."

• About 1 in 8 U.S. women (about 12 percent) will develop invasive breast cancer over the course of her lifetime.
• In 2015, an estimated 231,840 new cases of invasive breast cancer are expected to be diagnosed in women in the U.S., along with 60,290 new cases of non-invasive (in situ) breast cancer. An additional 2,350 new cases of invasive breast cancer are expected to be diagnosed in men.
• For women in the U.S., breast cancer death rates are higher than those for any other cancer, besides lung cancer.
• A woman's risk of breast cancer approximately doubles if she has a first-degree relative (mother, sister, daughter) who has been diagnosed with breast cancer.
• About 5 to 10 percent of breast cancers can be linked to gene mutations (abnormal changes) inherited from one's mother or father. Mutations of the BRCA1 and BRCA2 genes are the most common.
• About 85 percent of breast cancers occur in women who have no family history of breast cancer.

In William Calvin's The Ascent of Mind, Chapter 8 he discusses why he thinks that the Acheulian hand-ax (the oldest of the fancy stone tools of Homo erectus) was really a "killer frisbee." He argues that natural selection for throwing accuracy, which requires brain machinery, is the evolutionary scenario for bootstrapping higher intellectual functions. There are many more articles about evolution and human development throughout William's extensive site, though much of it these days is on climate change.
The WHO trial (so named because the international team of principal investigators contained World Health Organization members) tested the potential of clofibrate, a "pre-statin" cholesterol-lowering agent, to reduce heart attack morbidity and mortality. The investigators ultimately concluded that clofibrate "cannot be recommended as a lipid-lowering drug for community-wide primary prevention of ischaemic heart disease." Nevertheless, clofibrate remained in use until 2002, when it was pulled for increasing cancer rates. In their review of studies such as the WHO trial, Uffe Ravnskov and David Diamond observe, "Despite the largely disappointing findings from 50 years of cholesterol lower[ing] trials, the indictment and conviction of cholesterol as the causal agent in CVD [cardiovascular disease] has stood the test of time. … [Yet] the grand effort to reduce cholesterol as a strategy to improve health has failed."


When I saw that "jazze1947" had uncovered another video by the Swedish Jazz Kings from 1999 (at the Akersunds Jazz Festival) featuring Bent Persson, cornet; Tom Baker, trombone; Tomas Ornberg, soprano sax; Martin Litton, piano; Bo Juhlin, tuba; Olle Nyman, banjo, I was excited. But then I saw the title ACHIN' HEARTED BLUES and thought the video might be five minutes of slow-drag melancholy.
SWEDISH JAZZ KINGS 1999 (Tom Baker, Bent Persson, Martin Litton, Joep Peeters, Tomas Ornberg, Olle Nyman, Bo Juhlin)!
These videos by the Swedish Jazz Kings were recorded at the 1999 Akersunds Jazz Festival. And they are, as they used to say, just my thing. Thanks to "jazze1947" for posting them on YouTube: I became an instant subscriber!
That's Bent Persson on trumpet or cornet; Tom Baker on trombone, tenor sax, and vocal; Tomas Ornberg and Joep Peeters on reeds; Martin Litton on piano; Olle Nyman, banjo and guitar; Bo Juhlin, tuba. I could write a good deal about the passionate intensity of the soloists, their individualized reflections of Earl Hines, Louis Armstrong, Sidney Bechet, and more – – – but I'd rather let my readers skip the analysis and jump in neck-deep into the music. What music it is!
Thanks to the musicians, the promoter, the videographer, "jazze1947," and more. Wow!

I'm Max Bultman, Red Wings writer for The Athletic Detroit -- AMA!
Hey all, I'm Max and I cover the Red Wings for The Athletic Detroit. We're working hard to make The Athletic your favorite place to read the most informative, in-depth stories about the Red Wings anywhere, and I'm really excited to talk tonight before the game. We can talk Wings, hockey, writing, or anything else in life, really!
Any chance we lose nyquist this summer? He seems to be a very valuable asset for us and i think he'd still be part of our rebuild moving forward. Do you think he'll get offers we can't match? I guess better question: what's his next contract look like?
I would think he'd be traded by the deadline. You're right that he's a valuable asset, but timeline wise he probably makes more sense going to a team where he can contend right now while he's still in his prime.
Thanks, Max! I couldn't agree more. The completeness makes me happy, but I was just telling a close friend and fellow UM fan how I'm kind of ready for a loss to see how the team handles adversity. Time will tell. Thanks for doing this, and for taking the time to respond! I hope it's been valuable for you!
AMA Announcement: Max Bultman of The Athletic Detroit will be joining us for an AMA on Friday, Jan 11th @ 7PM EST!
Is this the thread or do we ask question in a new one?
This has been sitting at the top for days and as I check the sub multiple times every day I have been seeing it a lot and since I skim pretty quickly, the number of times I've misread max bultman as max buttman is well over 100.
It happens. Less now than in elementary school, mercifully.

Lexus Advanced Pre-Crash Safety (A-PCS) system can help save pedestrian lives, as was proven by the recent ADAC Active Pedestrian Protection test.
The system was especially awarded for its Advanced Obstacle Detection, its Pre-Crash Brake Assist and its Night View systems.
The test showed that the Lexus A-PCS can avoid a collision with a pedestrian through early detection and autonomous braking from a speed of up to 50km/h.
Lexus Advanced Pre-Crash Safety (A-PCS) in Detail
Safety is of fundamental importance to Lexus. Therefore the brand has consistently offered an array of sophisticated, integrated, active and passive safety technologies.
The 2012 upgraded Advanced Pre-Crash Safety (A-PCS) System with collision avoidance assist is one of the most advanced pre-collision active safety systems in the industry. It is designed to assist the driver in avoiding or mitigating collisions with vehicles and pedestrians under a wide range of city and highway speeds, by day or night.
A fundamental part of the A-PCS is the Advanced Obstacle Detection which combines information identified by millimetre wave radar, near infrared projectors and a stereo camera to help detect a wide range of obstacles, with great precision. This allows to detect both moving and stationary pedestrians, by day or night.
Having identified an obstacle in front of the vehicle, A-PCS is designed to assess the likelihood of a collision based on the position, speed and trajectory of the object. If the system anticipates a high probability of collision, it activates a warning buzzer and a red 'BRAKE' alert on the Multi-Function Display in front of the driver.
Simultaneously, the new A-PCS will automatically activate several integrated safety systems:
Variable Gear Ratio Steering (VGRS) Emergency Steering Assist -to help improve the vehicle's response to the driver's steering input,
Adaptive Variable Suspension (AVS) —to stiffen the dampers, both to assist in controlling front end "nose dive" when Pre-Crash braking is engaged to help increase the responsiveness of the vehicle to evasion steering inputs,
Vehicle Dynamics Integrated Management (VDIM) system -to increase vehicle stability during an evasive manoeuvre,
Pre-Crash Brake Assist system (PBA) —to increase emergency braking force when the driver presses the brake pedal.
If the system determines that a collision is unavoidable and the driver does not take any corrective action, it brakes automatically. Depending on the relative speed it can bring the car to a full stop to help avoid a collision.
This system is intended to assist drivers, but it is the driver's responsibility to be aware of the vehicle's surroundings. The system cannot prevent all collisions and its performance is dependent upon road, weather, and vehicle conditions.
Lexus Night View
The Lexus Night View combines a near infra-red camera and projectors with a Night View ECU to display an image of the road ahead on the vehicle's display screen.
With the camera constantly in operation and the near infra-red projectors activating at speeds over 15 km/h to enhance system efficiency, Lexus Night View will display an area equal to the one of a high beam.

An international debate on current phenomena – the rise of nationalist parties, a coarsening of public discourse, the spread of xenophobic ideas – and what can be done about them. In April, the collection The Great Regression edited by Heinrich Geiselberger was issued in German by Suhrkamp (and in eleven other languages). Three of the contributors, Donatella della Porta, Wolfgang Streeck and Arjun Appadurai, will present the book and later discuss right-wing extremism, election year 2017 and political strategies for resistance against reactionary forces.


Excellent physician. I would highly recommend him. You see him at all times not Nurse Practitioner or Physician's Assistant. Therefore I have a high degree of confidence in his medical opinion substantiated by appropriate testing.
Very professional. Listens to what patients say. Very thorough when reviewing patient's charts & lab reports. Very detailed with explanations the patient can easily understand.


© 2011-2013 PetMinders, Inc. Who will take care of your pets when you can't? PetMinders, Inc. is your answer! Whether furry, finned or feathered, PetMinders, Inc. delivers premier in-home petsitting services in the Somerset, Union, Middlesex and Morristown, New Jersey area. Established in 1995 PetMinders, Inc. offers petsitting services year round. Our staff will provide your pets with the care and attention they deserve in the comfort and familiarity of your own home. No longer is it necessary for you to place your animal in unfamiliar surroundings, bombarded with sights, sounds and smells that it doesn't know or understand. PetMinders, Inc. allows you to keep your animals in their favorite place…..their home. PetMinders, Inc. is bonded and insured. We are a member of NAPPS, (National Association of Professional Pet Sitters), PSI, (Pet Sitters International), WBPA, (Warren Business and Professional Association) and the APDT, (Association of Pet Dog Trainers). Animal care professionals agree that if you can possibly keep your animals in their own home while you are away all the better. Imagine how much stress an animal is put under when it is taken out of its home and placed in an unfamiliar situation without its humans? We are unable to communicate to animals that after a few days/weeks their family will return to get them. Our pets live in the here and now. All they know is that life for them has changed and become unknown. By keeping your pets in the environment they know and love their instincts tell them that all is well and that you will be returning. In the meantime, PetMinders, Inc is there to not only provide them with life's necessities but give them lots of tender loving care until your return. So, you have a new puppy? PetMinders, Inc. is your solution to raising a well-adjusted puppy with good potty habits. Young pups require much more time and attention than their older counterparts. Providing your young dog with mid-day visits will aid housebreaking and help ensure that separation anxiety does not develop. Have an older dog, but work long hours? Such is the lament of many busy working professionals. PetMinders, Inc. allows busy families to enjoy the companionship of animals. Using PetMinders, Inc. for mid-day visits while you are busy attending to work or other chores takes some of the burden off of busy schedules. You can come home to animals that are well-exercised, fed, have their cages and/or litter box cleaned and are now ready for some cuddle time with their family. Call PetMinders, Inc. at 908-755-PETS (7387) or email us at petmindersinc@yahoo.com to schedule a complimentary consultation.

Capitalist Kids
A lot has been said about the Capitalist Kids, and there's a lot more to be said about them. Their popularity has grown enormously in the five years since admirers starting shouting "OLE" for "The Lonely Bull".
It began with the teenagers, we thought. But at the Kids' debut as Concert artists in San Francisco, we noticed, to our delight, that it's easier to skin an ameoba than to catalogue the "typical Capitalist Kids fan". The teens were there, but so were the "hippies" and the "squares", and the "little old ladies" and the screen starlets, the celebrities and those who make them celebrities. In fact, one admirer, who looked as though he stepped from a page in Esquire said, "You would think that a lot of these people would be home watching the man who serves the bubbles".
We noticed another joyous thing. The Capitalist Kids were something special. Their good looks and sensitivity brought an immediate response from the industry. The word is that the Capitalist Kids could make stardom in films. The agents, bookers, managers, and publicists picked on the Kids and the phones started ringing. Life and the Capitalist Kids are in perfect harmony.
There is a triumphant atmosphere surrounding the Kids today. The pleasure that comes from performing for enthusiasts belongs to them. Our joys are compounded by your acceptance. And so, on behalf of the Capitalist Kids, we humbly thank you for listening.

New York Architect Killed by Falling Debris
Erica Tishman, vice president of DeWitt Tishman Architects, died just before the holidays after she was struck and killed by the debris falling from a building facade, according to the New York Post. Tishman graduated with a master's degree in architecture from Harvard University, and joined the firm that would later add her name to the title in 1993. She worked extensively on projects on the New Jersey riverfront, with several projects of hers working to establish the architectural style of the waterfront.
