South Ayrshire set for first new Council houses in decades
South Ayrshire Council has marked the official start of construction work on the first new Council houses in the area for more than 30 years at a special ceremony in Ayr.
[Pictured: Marking the official start of the construction work at the Thornyflat site are (left to right): Kenny Leinster, Head of Community Care and Housing, South Ayrshire Council; Councillor Nan McFarlane; Councillor Bill McIntosh; Councillor Douglas Campbell; Councillor Tom Slider; Councillor Ian Cavana; Scott Cameron, Scottish Government; David Anderson, Chief Executive, South Ayrshire Council.]
A total of 42 new Council houses will be built at Thornyflat in Ayr as part of a £4.5 million project funded by South Ayrshire Council in partnership with the Scottish Government.
The development – comprising two, three and four bedroom houses – will offer a significant boost to the number of affordable homes in the areas and provide tenants with modern, accessible and environmentally-friendly homes.
The design of the new houses was influenced by local residents who put forward various comments and suggestions on how the houses should look and the features they should include such as level entry for all houses and downstairs bedrooms.
The construction project is being managed by Ayrshire Housing on behalf of the Council and the houses are scheduled to be completed by December 2011.
To mark the work at Thornyflat, the Leader of South Ayrshire Council, Councillor Bill McIntosh, was joined by local Councillors and representatives from the Scottish Government, Ayrshire Housing and other organisations involved in the project to cut the first 'sod', allowing the construction of the buildings to get underway.
Councillor McIntosh said: "It's appropriate that we celebrate this landmark moment – the start of the first project of its kind in this area for a generation – on such an important day, Robert Burns' birthday.
"Just like Burns, we are making history here and I am very proud that, with our partners in the Scottish Government, we will create 42 fantastic new homes for the people of South Ayrshire. I look forward to seeing the houses take shape in the coming months."
Housing and Communities Minister Alex Neil said: "Scottish Government funding is helping local authorities to reverse the decades of decline in council house building.
"South Ayrshire Council is playing an important part in that nationwide revolution, which is good news for families in the region that want access to high quality, affordable homes."
Councillor Douglas Campbell, South Ayrshire Council's Portfolio Holder for Housing, added: "There is a huge demand for good quality rented accommodation in South Ayrshire and these new homes will be very popular.
"They are well designed, energy efficient and located in an attractive setting overlooking the golf course.
"This is one step in meeting the ever increasing need for housing and the Council is very conscious that we need to do more to help those on our waiting list have the chance of their own home."
South Ayrshire Council is a founder member of the Elite Ayrshire Business Circle.

Mafiz Ali (pictured above)
After an absence of two years, Mafiz Ali has returned to the restaurant where in a relatively short time he built up an enviable reputation throughout Ayrshire and beyond for serving the finest Indian cuisine. He is joined by his cousin and fellow chef Shahed Ahmed.
Mafiz Ali has many claims to fame over the past two decades.
In 1993 he first made headlines by making a takeaway delivery across the Atlantic to New York.
Having been asked to prepare a replica of the banquet he had prepared for the 50th birthday of the then British Prime Minister John Major, he decided to market this novel concept and put together a team of experts at his London restaurant to deliver to record companies and the X-Factor, amongst others, in a venture that proved extremely successful.
Mafiz Ali subsequently catered for Cliff Richard, Damage, the Sugar Babes, Gabby Ross, Soul to Soul, Chaka Demus, Rustie Lee, Anthea Turner and many others. His food has also been sent to Australia, Japan and the US - Atlanta as well as New York.
Another of his original ideas saw him included in the Guinness Book of Records, when he teamed up with an engineer to create the world's largest curry pot. This pot contained 4.5 tons of chicken masala, and helped to raise awareness of his favourite charities.
In 1998 Mafiz Ali launched the British Curry Awards, and various other culinary competitions, designed to bring together chefs of all ages, both amateur and professional, to compete for recognition of their skills and to promote Bangladeshi cuisine in the UK.
His charitable activities have seen him extend his generosity to the Save the Children Fund, Pat Kerr's Orphanage Ordinance Fund and the War Child Charity Trust, holding charity parties at his restaurant.
Two years ago he also started similar activities in Ayrshire, and now hopes to build on them in the future.
Mafiz Ali's outstanding cuisine has placed him in the media spotlight, and he has made 67 television appearances on channels such as GMTV, Big Breakfast TV, Channel 4, as well as his own TV programme on Bangladeshi TV and double that amount of broadcasting time on radio. He has also contributed numerous articles to the printed media, including newspapers like the Sun, Daily Mirror and the Times.
When asked why such a distinguished chef would want to return to Minishant, Mafiz Ali replies simply: "I like it here. It is a beautiful place, which is peaceful and far removed from the stress of city life."
Ayr Racecourse looks forward to another successful year in 2011
THE profile of Ayr Racecourse has never been higher, thanks to back to back wins in 2009 and 2010 for Frankie Dettori in the William Hill (Ayr) Gold Cup, and also Merigo, trained by Alan Parker and owned by Raymond Anderson Green, becoming the first Scottish trained horse in 28 years to win the Coral Scottish Grand National.
Crowds at Ayr during 2010 were very healthy and up on the previous year, and confidence is high for another positive 12 months.
With three meetings in January, a further three in February and two more in March, the team at Ayr will head into April well prepared for the Coral Scottish Grand National Festival on Friday 15 April and Saturday 16 April.
The richest jumps race meeting in Scotland will again feature some of the top horses, trainers and jockeys in the sport, and all these ingredients combine to make this one of the spectacles of the entire National Hunt season in the UK.
The Friday action features the Hillhouse Quarry Handicap Chase which has produced some notable winners over the years including Three Mirrors from the Ferdy Murphy stable and the highly rated Jim Goldie trained Stormin' Exit. This race also features one of the longest running sponsorships at the track dating back more than 17 years.
Coral Scottish Grand National Saturday remains the best attended single fixture of the year at Ayr Racecourse, and is one of the most fabulous spectacles in sport. Up to 30 runners thunder round the track for over four miles and the scenes in the Winners Enclosure afterwards are befitting of such a historical event.
For the first time the 2011 Scottish National will feature some portable fences, as Ayr Clerk of the Course Emma Marley has invested in three such fences - two in the back straight and one in the home straight - which will replace other obstacles, and 27 fences will still be jumped.
And although it is difficult to predict anything this far out, there could well be another Scottish trained winner with Lucinda Russell's Silver By Nature, owned by Geoff Brown, chairman of St Johnstone Football Club, being trained with the race very much in mind.
As ever, the Coral Scottish National Festival brings the curtain down on the National Hunt season at Ayr, and come May - the 25th and 26th to be exact, the flat season will kick off with a two-day fixture.
[Pictured: Alan MacDonald, Chairman of Ayr Racecourse.]
In 2011 there will be 16 flat fixtures at Ayr with more than a few highlights on the way. In recent years one of the fastest growing meetings at the track is the Saints and Sinners Racenight and Scottish Sun Raceday coming on the evening of 17 June and the afternoon of 18 June.
More than 16,500 attended the two-day fixture in 2010, and while Alexandra Burke's appearance after racing at Saints and Sinners was memorable, the highlight was undoubtedly the racecourse debut of the Richard Fahey trained Wootton Basset in the Real Radio EBF Maiden Stakes on the Scottish Sun Raceday.
Little did anyone realise then that this horse, which won at 11/4, would go onto be one of the best juveniles of the season, land a Group 1 race at Longchamp, and pick up more than £500,000 in prize money during the season.
It remains to be seen if the Scottish Sun Raceday 2011 produces another equine star, but one thing is certain it will be once again one of the best Saturday afternoon fixtures of the summer, and one of three fixtures during the year that is shown live on Channel 4 - the others being the Coral Scottish Grand National Saturday and the William Hill (Ayr) Gold Cup Saturday.
A new fixture on Monday 11 July now means there will be three Monday meetings in July on the 11th, the traditional Glasgow Fair Monday on the 18th and also on the 25th. There then follows Ladies Night on 6 August and a Tuesday afternoon fixture on 9 August.
The three-day William Hill (Ayr) Gold Cup Festival running from Thursday 15 September until Saturday 18 September is the showpiece of the flat seasion at Ayr with some fabulous races over the three days.
This meeting, as with the Coral Scottish Grand National Festival, attracts enthusiasts from all over the UK and Ireland to enjoy top quality horse racing and entertainment.
One of the longest established fixtures in the horse racing calendar dating back to the early 19th century, the Festival oozes class combining some of the best horses in the land with the top jockeys and trainers.
The opening day of the Festival features the williamhill.com/bonus25 Handicap for the Kilkerran Cup, while the two main races on Friday are the William Hill (Ayr) Bronze Cup over six furlongs for horses who failed to get into either the Gold or Silver Cups, and the Harry Rosebery Stakes for the South Ayrshire Cup, a Listed Race for two year olds.
There are seven races on Thursday and Friday and eight on Saturday, when the highlight is undoubtedly the William Hill (Ayr) Gold Cup over the straight six furlongs - Europe's richest sprint handicap with £150,000 in prize money.
The William Hill (Ayr) Silver Cup is also run on the Saturday - about an hour before its big brother - and two other outstanding races on the Saturday are the williamhill.com Doonside Cup, a Listed Race, and the Laundry Cottage Stud Firth Of Clyde Stakes.
Upwards of 22,000 people flock to the William Hill (Ayr) Gold Cup over the three days, and there is a truly terrific atmosphere not just at the track but all round town.
Racing returns to Ayr Racecourse on Monday 31 January for the January Jumps Raceday featuring seven races, with the action commencing at 1.15pm.
The first race on the card is the Bet Live At Victorchandler.com Novices' Hurdle over two miles, followed by a two mile four furlong Novices' Hurdle at 1.45pm.
Feature races on the afternoon are the Best Odds Guaranteed At Victorchandler.com Novices' Chase and the Play Casino At Victorchandler.com Handicap Chase at 2.15pm and 2.50pm respectively.
Final race on the card is the Bet Now At Victorchandler.com Standard National Hunt Flat Race at 4.30pm.

Published on Aug. 14, 2018 | Updated 7:33 a. m.
Republican U.S. Senate candidates Leah Vukmir, right, and Kevin Nicholson debate in Milwaukee on July 26. Nicholson, running as an outsider, is running against Vukmir, a 15-year veteran of the Legislature who had the state GOP endorsement. The Republican primary battle for a Wisconsin U.S. Senate seat pits two loyalists to President Donald Trump who agree on most of the issues.
MADISON, Wis. — Democrats are fighting to beat back Republican gains across the Midwest as the 2018 primary season roars through Wisconsin and Minnesota, two states where President Donald Trump's appeal among working-class voters threaten to upend decadeslong political trends this fall and beyond.
Tuesday's primary contests for governor, the U.S. Senate and the House will test the strength of Trump's fiery coalition against the energy of the Democratic resistance. At the same time, accusations of domestic violence involving the Democratic National Committee's second-in-command could undermine the blue wave in Minnesota, a state still healing from scandal.
In all, four states will host primary elections Tuesday as the 2018 primary season nears its final chapter. All but 10 states will have picked their candidates for November's general election by the time all votes are counted in Wisconsin, Minnesota, Vermont and Connecticut. While the full political battlefield isn't quite set, the stakes are clear: Democrats are working to topple Republican control of Congress and governors' offices across the nation.
Walker's strong anti-union policies made him a Democratic villain long before Trump's rise. State schools chief Tony Evers, who has clashed with Walker at times, enters the primary as the best-known of the eight Democratic candidates.
Once a target of Trump criticism, Walker gained the president's endorsement in a tweet Monday night, Trump calling him "a tremendous Governor who has done incredible things for that Great State" on the eve of the primary. But Trump's persistent attacks on Wisconsin-based motorcycle maker Harley-Davidson put Republican candidates on their heels in recent days, Walker among them.
"By attacking Wisconsin workers to cover for failed economic policy, President Trump took a page right out of Scott Walker's playbook," said Mahlon Mitchell, one of the candidates and the head of the state firefighters union.
Trump also stars, informally at least, in Wisconsin's Senate primaries as Republicans try to deny Democratic Sen. Tammy Baldwin a second term.
Tuesday's primaries serve as a test of Democratic enthusiasm in the upper Midwest, a region that has long been associated with liberal politics but has been trending red. Trump won Wisconsin by less than 1 percentage point in 2016, becoming the first Republican presidential candidate to carry the state since 1984.
It's much the same in Minnesota, where Trump lost by less than 3 percentage points in a state that hadn't backed a Republican presidential contender since 1972.
Rep. Keith Ellison, the Democratic National Committee's deputy chairman, was expected to capture his party's nomination in the race to become the state's top law enforcement official. That was before Ellison's candidacy was rocked by allegations of domestic violence over the weekend amid a broader national outcry against sexual misconduct by powerful men in business, entertainment and politics.
Allegations of misconduct are still fresh in Minnesota, where Democratic Sen. Al Franken resigned in December after multiple allegations of unwanted sexual touching. His replacement, Democratic Sen. Tina Smith, is on Tuesday's ballot as she seeks her first full term. She's facing Democrat Richard Painter, a former George W. Bush ethics lawyer.
Former two-term Republican Gov. Tim Pawlenty may be the biggest name on Minnesota's ballot, however.
He's the leading Republican candidate in the high-profile race to replace outgoing Democratic Gov. Mark Dayton. Having lost his own short-lived bid for president in 2012, Pawlenty spent much of the last six years serving as a top corporate lobbyist.

SKU: FC-LS. Category: One Handed Swords. Tags: shield, sword.
The long sword is a made to reach out and touch someone. The long sword is great for line fighting and is best paired with a shield.
Bought the Long Sword (Wilson Wrap + Stabbing Tip) from Forged Foam approx 3-4 years ago. Its a great weapon! Most commonly used amongst my friends. However the stabbing tip of my weapon has been degraded and now the fiberglass core sticks out rendering it unusable. But a reblade kit can hopefully fix that! Aside from that, 4 out of 5! Definitely recommend for new players!
The Long Sword is one of the most versatile option for those seeking an all-comer blade. It can be comfortably wielded one-handed, one and a half, or two handed (though those with bigger hands might opt for the long handle). It can comfortably out range lesser sword options whilst retaining the ability to use shields effectively. It can also be dual-wielded with other weapons for those who like to use a long blade and another weapon.
For those who are of the smaller stature, this definitely can be a two-handed weapon!
Keep in mind that you probably want to take some of the options available to offset some of the downsides to such a versatile sword: a weighted hilt WILL help keep this thing from being top-heavy. My wife has one on hers and it makes a monumental difference in handling. It's also nice to upgrade with a new grip as the rope can be rough on people with softer hands. Crossguards are nice and also help offset the weight imbalance. This awesome blade will be one of my flagships for a very long while!
Not really much else so far!

Володимир Ігорович Арнольд (   — , ) — російський математик, академік РАН.

Життєпис
Син відомого математика-педагога Ігоря Володимировича Арнольда.

Володимир Арнольд закінчив Московський університет (1959). У 26 років він доктор фізико-математичних наук, а через рік професор. Багато років працював у Математичному інституті ім. В. А. Стєклова РАН і в IX Паризькому університеті.

Відомість у світі математики Володимир Арнольд здобув будучи студентом третього курсу механіко-математичного факультету МДУ, коли йому вдалося довести, що будь-яка неперервна функція декількох змінних може бути подана у вигляді суперпозиції скінченного числа неперервних функцій двох змінних. На основі рішення Арнольда його вчителю Андрію Колмогорову вдалося вирішити тринадцяту проблему Гільберта. Давид Гільберт припускав, що не кожна функція трьох змінних може бути зведена до суперпозиції функцій двох змінних.

Спільно з А. М. Колмогоровим опублікував низку важливих статей з проблеми стійкості динамічних систем, за які вони у 1965 році отримали Ленінську премію. Зокрема є співавтором так званої теореми Колмогорова-Арнольда-Мозера, що є однією з основних в теоріях динамічних систем та хаосу.

Основні праці ученого стосуються диференціальних рівнянь, функціонального аналізу, теорії функцій дійсного змінного, теорії особливостей гладких відображень і теоретичної механіки. Багато його робіт заклали основи для цілих напрямків в математичній науці, наприклад К-теорії. Станом на 2009 рік Володимир Арнольд був найцитованішим російським вченим у світі.

Автор низки монографій і навчальних посібників.

З 1986 року Володимир Ігорович починає працювати головним науковим співробітником Математичного інституту імені В. А. Стєклова РАН. Через чотири роки, стає академіком АН СРСР.

У 1995—1998 посідав посаду віце-президента Міжнародного математичного союзу. Після чого два роки очолював Московське математичне товариство. Арнольд був заступником головного редактора журналу «Функціональний аналіз і його застосування».

You're not stupid, I think it just isn't real clear right now which page offers up the new homes since they're all taken and don't show as an option. It should be this page: https://land.secondlife.com/en-US/lindenhomes/land-selection.php Oh, and the new houses show up as the first option when they become available.
What can I use get the turret to not shoot the owner or the house, but only the target? Something that will make the turret stop shooting on the timer.
Oh shoot. My bunny pic is for use in the magazine too!
You are right though, its now over 12 hours later and the grid status has not been updated with the all clear.
Interesting project. I did at one point consider trying to mesh and texture some books off of those I make in my workshop, but it never really got anywhere. I'm not particularly good at meshing though, so, actually making a real French half-leather binding comes easier than trying to make a virtual one.
It's rocks, nothing but a bunch of rocks. At least it was the other day when I went to look...now they have gone for me too. Perhaps when they did the airstrip they took them away.
Compare these new homes, the layout and the shared areas to the original Linden Homes - what a difference! I can actually see people using the shared areas and all that open water! Wow I may have to consider opening a bar for all those thirsty day trippers!
I'm concerned about declining performance, too. Does anyone run a benchmark in LSL occasionally? One big problem is that scripts doing nothing use script time. Not much, about 0.003 ms/frame. But if you have 4000 scripts, there goes most of your script time.
Buy a plot for $X Sell it for $Z But only after you've also paid $Y in tier... As for the land barons - a lot of them work by using donated or bought excess tier... - Buy a 512m plot, but premium actually gives you 1126m after the 10% group bonus... so you've got all this extra tier... somebody else offers to pay you a tiny amount to donate that extra to a group... - That's what makes it very hard to compete with the Land Barons. They can afford to wait on that plot a lot longer. As for abandoned land - you put in a ticket for it, odds are the response is that it goes up for auction. And abandoned land tends to usually come in one of two formats: a very bad location, or too large of a cut. Lindens have a habit of then joining it together into even larger pieces before putting it up for auction in response to your request. You CAN ask them to cut a small piece and auction that separately... and if you get lucky you might win that auction (I have done this).... But to outright buy abandoned land usually requires having land next it already, or getting lucky with your choice of Linden that responds to the ticket (at least back in the old days when things were a little wild - no idea if this would work these days).
If there is nothing underwater then judging by its shape I think it safe to say it looks like a large boat was moored there for a few hours. Possibly with a boat keeper Alt, possibly an aircraft carrier serving as a destination for a flight or flights to Jeogeot. You sometimes get similar big boats temporarily on Blake Sea maps being used as part of a groups activities as a destination for pilots or sometimes as a rescue ship for air lifted ship wreck survivors. If I am right it will vanish in a few days.
This is not your fault. This is Linden Lab's fault. They do not know how to check identities in China. You showed them copies of your ID card and your household registration book. That should be good enough. Linden Lab needs to use a service which can validate those documents. Like this one. Or this one. This is a common problem with companies in the United States which do not do enough business in China.
I agree, but: Is there really a need to get triggered that fast? He just talked about about a stereotype. And that stereotype is just one in a thousand. -Recently someone asked me, if i use that typical dress what is well known about my country/state. Is that sexist or even racist? Should i be mad? -Months ago i asked my workmate, if thats couscous in his food, because i knew he is from north afrika. Do you think he got offended, because it also could have been rice? No. He just nodded, told me the way to prepare it and offered me some. Close your eyes and take a deep breath... Its a wonderful world.

It also dispenses with the need to remove rubber-like sealant surrounding the studs. A practical tool for placing trim retainer clips over headed studs welded around the body window shields.


Alice van Duuren is a nonbinary writer who used to hate both reading and poetry. Admittedly they were 13 at the time and hated just about everything. Since then, they have studied English Literature, Tourism, and Screen Production and in 2016 will at last be studying Creative Writing. In their free time, Alice likes to daydream about dragons, cuddle with cats and dogs, and have ice cream for breakfast more than they probably should. Based in New Zealand, they are proud of say they live with both a cat and a dog. Whether the cat and dog are proud to be living with them is still up for discussion.

Please use the menu below to browse the subjects.
The SHSAT (Specialized High School Admissions Test) is a standardized test developed by the New York City Department of Education and administered for entrance into the New York City Specialized High Schools. The eight Specialized High Schools that require the SHSAT as their sole criterion for admission are Bronx High School of Science, Brooklyn Latin School, Brooklyn Technical High School, the High School for Mathematics, Science and Engineering at the City College of New York, the High School of American Studies at Lehman College, Queens High School for the Sciences at York College, Staten Island Technical High School, and Stuyvesant High School. (One other Specialized High School, Fiorello H. LaGuardia High School of Music & Art and Performing Arts, does not require the SHSAT but requires an audition or studio presentation.)
Students who are New York City residents and currently in grade 8 (applying to grade 9) or currently in grade 9 (applying to grade 10) are eligible to take the SHSAT. The majority of students who take the test are in grade 8, but students may take the test again in grade 9. To initiate the admissions process, students must submit a New York City Public High School Application to the Department of Education indicating their preference for a Specialized High School. Applications are given to all New York City Public School students early in the fall of grade 8 and are also distributed to independent and parochial schools. The test is given in the fall, in either late October or early November (students in grade 8 and grade 9 take the test on different dates), at locations in all five New York City boroughs.
The SHSAT is a multiple-choice test divided into two main sections: English Language Arts (ELA) and Mathematics. The ELA section is divided into two parts: in the first, Revising/Editing, students demonstrate their ability to recognize and correct language errors and to improve overall quality of writing; in the second, Reading Comprehension, students demonstrate their ability to understand, analyze, and interpret texts. The Mathematics section consists of word problems and computational questions in either a multiple choice or grid-in format. It includes questions in arithmetic, algebra, probability, statistics, geometry, and (for grade 9 students) trigonometry . If students are not sure of a correct answer, they are advised to make an educated guess, since there is no penalty for an incorrect response. Students may take the test only once in grade 8 (and, if they so choose, once in grade 9), so an effective preparation strategy is crucial early in the application process.
For each of the two main sections, English Language Arts and Mathematics, students receive a scaled score out of 400 points. The formula that converts raw scores (the number of correct answers) into scaled scores is known only by the Department of Education and changes annually based on overall student performance. Students also receive a composite-scaled score out of a total possible 800 points, the sum of the Verbal and Mathematics scaled scores. Testers are then rank-ordered by their composite scores and assigned, one by one, to their highest preference school that has available slots until all available places in each of the selective schools are filled. The cut-off score for each school is not an absolute number: it is determined by the results of all students who took the test in a given year and the composition of their school preferences.

How many toxins must conquer the body until it falls towards disease? Decisive for health is the system of basic regulation, that is, all the little processes around the cells. Another big center of the immune system is the bowel.
Chronic diseases, to which cancer belongs, can rarely be related to linear-causal contexts. Rather, in most cases the emergence of the disease as well as the therapy is a multidimensional evolution. Biological systems do not show linearity, but are heavily cross-linked and subject to a biological floating balance.
Decisive for health and disease is the condition of the basic regulatory system. That is what we understand as the unit of terminal vessels, endothelial cells (cells at the inner cardiovascular walls) and the nerve ends as well as the extra cellular fluid. Attached are the lymphatic vessels and lymph organs. The extra cellular fluid nourishes the cells and forwards waste products to the lymphatic vessels and lymph organs. It regulates the 'cell chemical environment system' and at the same time it is in the center of all inflammatory and defensive action.
Living in the extra cellular space, the basic substance is connected 1) to the hormone system by capillaries (thin terminal vessels) and 2) to the nervous system by peripheral vegetative nerve fibers that end here. Both systems are connected to each other in the brain stem. That is why a therapy of the extra cellular space can also treat the superior ruling centers. There is no system that demonstrates better entireness and cross-linking than the system of basic regulation.
In this context the so-called transit line is of great importance: from a biochemical view, the basic substance consists of a mesh work of highly polymeric sugar- and protein complexes. These make up a molecular sieve with oxygen and nutrition being passed to the cell and in return waste products of the cell metabolism are removed. This molecular sieve is called 'the transit line'. Here it is decided which substances are brought to the cell and which are removed. Molecules from a certain size or electric charge can no more pass the molecular mesh. The result is a disturbance of the very sensible electro-static tonus that reacts on any change in the basic substance by altering the electric potential. These alterations are transferred to the cell membrane and can provoke diverse reactions, e.g. pathologic enzyme reactions. They, in turn, can lead to gene activation and changes in the DNA, which may be the signal for the emergence of a disease.
The basic regulation so to speak, is the basis on which diseases may arise and flourish, or, by restoring its function, we can regain lost health.
That makes clear why in a holistic oriented tumor therapy aka biologic cancer medicine, diverting and detoxification, respectively, is of such decisive importance. Sebastian Kneipp himself answered the question about the major three therapies as follows: '1st detoxification, 2nd detoxification, and 3rd detoxification'. In other words: A insidious intoxication and permanent excessive demands of the basic regulatory system are in fact the causes for many chronic degenerative diseases, for example cancer.
How does the Indigious Intoxication Happen?
An insidious intoxication of the organism may be caused by a normal metabolism. This is called autointoxication. However, endogenic toxins, so toxins emerging from the body, only become the reason for diseases when the excretion organs are surcharged, or rather when the excretion does not work sufficiently. But not only metabolism, also immune reactions for developing diseases may create such toxins which can cause enormous problems in a pre-stressed body.
Nowadays, additionally to metabolic disorders, we face a plethora of environmental toxins that our body has to deal with on a daily basis. Environmental toxins have increased to a frightening extend, thus making detoxification more than ever a central theme in biological cancer medicine.
By now, we find environmental toxins everywhere. Pesticides, heavy metals, sludge, radioactivity or pharmaceutical residue pollute our drinking water and our food. Amalgam from the teeth, root filled teeth, granuloma, chronic inflammations, housing toxins and poisons from vaccinations all put a strain on the immune system. Gene manipulations lead to unmanageable disorder in the biological balance. Exhaust emissions and ozone pollute our breathable air, while noise and electric smog, for example caused by a chronic use of mobile phones, wear down our nerves. Any given critical values conform to the industry only protect the consumers in a way that they do not instantly faint from the daily toxic cocktail. It is indeed remarkable that we are still alive, partly still healthy and live that long. We owe this to the abilities of our own detoxification and basic regulation. But when enough is enough, disease appears.
The appearance of intoxication, most notably by environment toxins, is a creeping process and therefore in many cases non-specific. Often they are even not perceived as the cause of a disease and the person concerned is named a hypochondriac or a hysteric, because despite elaborate diagnostics no specific cause can be determined.
The alteration of sleeplessness with drowsiness and/or depression with hyperactivity is typical. Many people suffer from distinctive weather sensitivity. Eye-catching is that the discomforts are mostly chronic and continuously increase or reoccur in ever shorter intervals.
A change of place often leads to a relief and therefore could be an indication for toxins at the residence, such as housing toxins. An intolerance for medication is typical as well.
Environment toxins may block our self-regulatory mechanisms in a way that no more according reactions can take place. Environment toxins disturb the metabolism of the cells and the inter-cellular communication.
Now the self-healing forces hardly function which can be especially problematic for a biologic treatment. A detoxification therapy consists of a series of entirely different substances such as vitamins, minerals, micronutrients, phyto-therapeutics etc.
Reaction is often blocked by allopathic medication. There is strong evidence that many allopathic drugs cause an altered reaction in the body.
Antibiotics, cortisone and anti-rheumatics are not really remedies which eliminate the cause of the disease, they are just symptomatic drugs. They suppress, relocate or disguise symptoms. Amongst other things, this can be recognized when diseases or symptoms search for other ways during such a treatment, or when side effects of allopathic drugs create new diseases, e.g. acne, osteoporosis or gastric ulcer, etc.
Can the Body Make it Alone?
Not in all cases the body needs help for detoxification. Unless the detoxifying organs are not weakened too much (by infects, aging process or the growth of cancer), it can exercise detoxification itself.
Detoxification mostly happens at the surface of the body. This is the reason why there, because of the high concentration of toxins, symptoms such as bladder cancer , kidney cancer or prostate enlargement occur. In the sense of humoral medicine sweating, vomiting, diarrhea, inflammations and alteration of the skin and others are the body's attempts to free itself from toxins. Pain mostly occurs in regions of pathological acidity of the tissue.
The removal respectively suppression of such self-healing mechanisms is not always appropriate, but on the contrary may lead to serious diseases in the long run.
The self regulatory mechanisms are best supported by detoxifying procedures that are simply copied from nature. The excretion of toxins happens from inside to outside from the classy organs to the non classy ones. This is the basic idea of humoral medicine. Especially 'noble' are the inner organs, above all the brain, liver, pancreas, lungs, kidneys and the heart. 'Ignoble' on the other side are the mucous membrane, bowel, bladder and skin, which means the boundary surface. Numerous chronic diseases, such as mycosis, allergies or cancer, occur especially in those places by accumulation of environment toxins. Toxins are being stored here and sometimes not completely discharged.
Practice has shown that a stimulation of the discharging actions, especially in the liver, pancreas, bowel and kidney, can support the endogenous toxin discharge effectively. A drainage through the liver, pancreas, bowel and urinary tract proves to be effective. Traditionally medicinal plants are used: cholagoga, laxanties, diuretics, minerals, vitamins and antioxidants. Modern medicine often mistrusts this old knowledge about a consequent detoxification: it is believed that old knowledge is out of date. Despite this, scientific researches mostly prove the traditional experiences.
Heavily disturbing factors of the system are heavy metals or wrongly stored metals such as iron or copper. They produce free radicals which in turn may trigger a chain reaction of pathologic processes. Free radicals are an essential cause for the aging process and chronic degenerative diseases.
The life expectation of a human can be prolonged if the formation of free radicals is limited, or the capacity of antioxidative defense processes is increased. But if the antioxidative capacity is used up, heavy metals can disturb the balance and cause diseases.
Free radicals harm the DNA of the mitochondria which leads to a reduced ATP synthesis and a detraction of ATP dependent processes (ATP = bio-chemical energy source of the body). The resulting loss of energy of the body's cells leads to a progressive cell aging and a functional loss of the single cell.
Moreover, free radicals can also damage the cell's nucleus and the function of repair enzymes and thus contribute to the deterioration of cells. The intense impact of heavy metals and free radicals can lead to the damage of whole organ systems and the whole organism as such. Depending on the question which heavy metals are stocked in which organ systems and how fast the local and systemic antioxidative defensive processes are exhausted, various discomforts and diseases may occur.
The storage of iron in the brain may lead to early aging processes of the central nervous system. By damaging the Substantia nigra this can also contribute to the formation of Parkinson disease.
In the breast area iron ions may initiate the development of free radicals and lead to a damage of the DNA, thus boosting the risk of breast cancer.
Lead, mercury, nickel, chromate, cobalt, copper and tin stimulate the growth of human breast cancer cells.
Metallic mercury reduces the number of natural killer cells and compromises the chemotaxis of polymorphic leucocytes. This may disturb cellular immunity.
A chronic lead pollution leads to a reduction of B- and T-leucocytes and the natural killer cells. Lead in the aorta, the heart or the kidneys however, inactivates the beta receptors as well as the renin-angiotensin aldosterone system, which leads to high blood pressure.
Non-organic mercury, by creating free radicals, may cause high blood pressure and diseases of the heart, the lungs and the kidneys.
A chronic low intake of copper can lead to an increase of free radicals in the bowel and is considered a possible risk factor for bowel cancer.
21 benign and 23 malignant brain tumors have proven an increased concentration of cadmium, mercury and lead.
The prostate as well has become a waste deposit of heavy metal, therefore we find here increased levels of cadmium from the environment and mercury and palladium from dental fillings.
The repair of the DNA damages may already be blocked by low-dosed water- soluble nickel, nickel-oxide and cadmium, thus damaging fundamental repair mechanisms.
These few examples clearly demonstrate the harmfulness of heavy metals. Discharging substances like chelates in the first place can create some relief. However, with the great number of heavy metals, it is a problem to prove which metal exactly is responsible for which disease. The great number of possible substances and their interaction make it usually impossible and thus restrain a strict medical prove of cause and reaction.
In any case an increased level of heavy metals in the urine can be observed after the administration of chelates. This may be used as a diagnostic means. Even the WHO (World Health Organization) assumes that heavy metals play an important role in the development of diseases. These can be disturbances of the blood circulation, cancer, diseases of the nervous system, auto immune diseases as well as damages of the fetus.
Therefore, in holistic medicine, the diagnosis and removal of heavy metals and other toxins are important factors. Besides the chelation therapy with EDTA, DMPS and DMSA, we also use Desferral and other substances to cope with this problem. As for the herapy, the chronic application of spagyric drugs has proven itself.
A spagyric detoxification therapy promotes the removal of heavy metals as could be demonstrated in an application study. Changing every three days we give silybum spag., solidago spag. and urtica arsenicum spag. as well as thuja lachesis spag. continuously.
Besides those diverting drugs that detoxificate the basic tissue, the liver and the kidneys, it is of great importance to detoxificate the bowel. as well Therefore we recommend, besides an analysis of the stool, a treatment or correction of the symbiosis e.g. by regular application of prebiotics and probiotics. Highly approved is, besides the hydro colon therapy, the cleaning of the bowel with volcanic zeoliths such as chabasit and klinopthilolit.
With zeoliths, the focus lies on the adsorption ammonium ions, fermentation- and digestive gases as well as the absorption and adsorption of diverse toxins, heavy metals and radio active nucleotides (caesium and strontium). Equally important is the neutralization of free radicals before damaging the cells.
The gut micro-flora with its physiologic bacteria strains finds a perfect milieu after the cleaning. The immune system, as well as the liver and the kidneys highly benefit from a cleaned gut micro-flora. As toxins are already disposed of via bowel, liver and kidneys are relieved. The liver can return to its main issue which is the transformation of fat into energy. As zeolith provokes the excretion of ammonium ions, degradation products of nutrition rich in protein, the kidneys are supported as well. If now enough water is taken in, the liver does not have to support the kidneys for a lack of fluids. The connective tissue is relieved and cleaned, because usually toxins are lead through the intestinal wall into the tissue and stored there. The toxins then create free radicals which damage the body and the cells. With zeolith toxins are already bound in the bowel and excreted.
Thus, together with other products that restore the bowel, the flora can be strengthened. This in return has a positive influence on the immune system.
There is a tight relation between hyper acidity and waste products in the connective tissue on the one hand and the bowel as an excretion- and immune system on the other.
I have already pointed out how important the basic regulatory system is and that it is more than just a support- and filter tissue. Its tasks are regulation as well as nutrition and it is the facilitator between vessel and nerve functions. That is why remote effects from one system to the other are possible. That indicates that diseases not only flux the connective tissue, disturb the acid- base household and damage the digestive system. It also indicates that a disturbance of this system creates a variety of chronic diseases, among them also cancer.
Unfortunately, in conventional medicine, symptoms but not causes are treated and therefore this context is often lost sight of. A balanced acid-base and a healthy intestinal flora are strong pillars of our health.
The ancient doctors knew: death sits in the bowel. Under normal condition, the bowel's mucous membrane is a tight mesh net that does not allow big molecules to pass through. With a false bacteriologic settlement though, the mucous membrane being stressed continuously, the meshes become bigger so that gradually bigger molecules can pass the net. Thus, via the bowel's mucous membrane, undigested protein and waste products of bacteria, e.g. acids from fermentation processes, reach the bloodstream and other parts of the organism. The bowel has, in the true sense of the word, several leaks like a sinking ship. We call this a 'Leaky Gut Syndrome'. Additionally, a leaky gut can't produce a sufficient number of immune cells. The consequence is a degradation of the immune system. A vicious circle begins.
An analysis of the stool discloses the constitution of the intestinal flora. A reduced IgA and an increased alpha-1-antitrypsin point to a leaky gut syndrome.
Besides a mal-colonized intestinal flora, there are numerous other acid sources. Our organism is literally flooded with acids. A great part we take in with nutrition.
Minerals – which are bases – are rare in our food, even if one tries to feed himself consciously. Our organism requires bases in order to be able to mobilize and neutralize settled acids. Particularly suitable are basic minerals.
But as our own mineral reserves are eaten up by acids and moreover our food contains increasingly less minerals, they have to be additionally supplied from outside. Basic mineral supplements are most suitable for this purpose.
Food rich in minerals, such as vegetables, herbs and fruits are base builders. In contrast, animal protein is being processed acidly, thus making food from animals strong acid builders.
Many chronic diseases are based on a series of recognizable and ever reoccurring reasons. As our life-controlling systems are networking and influencing each other, the state of the basic regulatory system is essential for health and disease. It nourishes the cells and disposes the waste products. It regulates the 'cell milieu system' and is at the center of all inflammatory and defensive processes, thus involved in almost all diseases.
Step 1. Mobilizing and neutralizing stored acids by basic minerals.
Step 2. Supporting acid waste product disposal.
Step 3. Supporting neutralization and disposal process and stabilizing the metabolism with zeoliths (volcanic minerals).
Step 4. Reconstructing and fortifying the intestinal flora with prebiotic and probiotic bacterial cultures.
Step 5. Dietary supplementation with vitamins, minerals, trace elements, and phyto-chemicals.
Step 6. Eliminating environmental toxins with chelation.


A Follow Spot: New in November!
A few years back, I was lucky enough to see a Broadway production of The Homecoming that helped me see, at long last, what people see in Pinter -- and certainly why actors enjoy doing him. The cast members I recall, all superb in their various ways, are Ian McShane, Eve Best, Michael McKean, and Raúl Esparza.
That's the one that was reviewed in the link I gave. (Not in New York, but in Dublin, before it came to New York.) The reviewer felt it was the best possible production of "a loathsome, limited play." Not my cuppa, that's for sure.


The future of the Government's pound;15 million centre for maths teaching looks uncertain after a spate of resignations, including the departure of director Professor David Burghes.
The upheaval will come as an embarrassment to the Department of Education and Skills which launched the centre little over four months ago to boost recruitment and exam scores in the subject.
Two assistant directors, Dr Ted Graham and Rob Smith, have left the project, as has Steve Knight, a former senior director at Tribal, the project's backers.
The resignations follow months of dispute with the department over the centre's role. Several regional coordinators are also reported to be considering their future. The National Centre for Excellence in the Teaching of Mathematics was launched in June as part of a response to the damning 2004 Smith Report, which highlighted the plummeting teacher numbers and branded maths GCSE "not fit for purpose".
But the centre appears to have been in limbo for four months, after a clash of visions between Professor Burghes, a maverick figure who is not afraid of criticising the educational establishment, and the Government. "The centre has done next to nothing since it opened. Frankly it's a shambles,"
"hands-on" approach which involved being out of the office, collaborating with teachers.
"There was a feeling that he wasn't spending enough time on strategy. The DfES said that it had begun searching for replacements.
Feb 2004 Professor Adrian Smith recommends creating a pound;92m National Centre for Excellence.

I declare that we have officially entered the era of cloud computing. Instead of programming directly to operating systems that run on a single machine, we write code that runs on any number of machines. This is a huge shift. Even the web era was usually about a single machine. You had one web server, unless you were a large website, in which case you would have more than one web server behind a load balancer. Even if you had a handful of web servers, you probably still only had one database… as big a machine as you needed to fit your data. Only a few companies needed more than one database. Most companies don't necessarily need more than one database, but if they suddenly do, there was a lot of work to be done.
Now, with Google App Engine, and (I think) Microsoft's Azure, you write code, but then don't know (or care) how many physical machines it actually runs on. This is great because no longer do application developers have to worry about how many machines their are. No longer do developers have to worry about how to scale. Even with Amazon EC2, you have to care about how many machines you have. If you don't have enough, either you or your software has to detect that and get more machines. You pay per machine per hour, whether or not you are actually using the compute cycles. At least with Google App Engine, the level of granularity is dropped down to the number of compute cycles you use, instead of the number of machines you have.
This is a pretty exciting time. There is a lot of ground to cover still in the area of cloud computing. I think there will be a lot of innovation in the coming years in this area. My next post will talk about the differences between the different clouds. As of now, Amazon has a cloud, Google has a cloud, and Microsoft has a cloud. There are also other less well known companies offering cloud-like services such as Slicehost which was recently bought by Rackspace, Joyent, GoGrid, and Media Temple. There's even some companies poping up that will offer telephony services in the cloud such as Twilio.

List of Bokurano characters
This article depicts the characters from the manga series "Bokurano", including those exclusive to the anime and the light novel based from it.
Kokopelli (Garaku)
* Grade: 7th
* Height:155cm
* Blood Type: B
* Chapters: 4-5
* Pilot Order: Second (Manga & Anime)
Waku was an energetic and confident young boy who acted like a stereotypical shōnen main character. He was previously a talented soccer player and is considered popular. He wanted to become a professional player and his friends thought he had the talent for it. However, he found out that his salary-man father was a soccer player just like him in his youth and even played at the national level. The fact that someone just like him didn't make it shook Waku's resolve and he stopped playing soccer. If he had not quit the team he wouldn't have been at the summer class and become a pilot. He was chosen to become the first pilot of the children. After the battle with Bayonet, they celebrated on Zearth's shoulder. When Ushiro patted Waku on the back he fell off the side into the ocean. They thought that Ushiro accidentally pushed him but he actually died a moment before when his time as a pilot ended. His chair was a simple plastic folding chair. In the manga the number of casualties is unspecified, but in the anime there are 2,343 casualties.
Waku is featured as a character in "Bokurano Alternative".
Masaru Kodama
* AKA: :
A weird creature who calls itself "Dung Beetle" and becomes the children's tutor after Kokopelli's disappearance. It is able to communicate verbally, and is usually very sarcastic. It responds to the children's call, including Jun even though he secretly hadn't entered the contract. It is able to teleport the children, as well as others from the outside world to the cockpit, and vice-versa. However, it cannot teleport directly between two places, and must go through the cockpit beforehand. Between battles, it can be seen conversing with an unknown entity; it can be assumed both in the anime and manga (as of chapter 48) that this is his younger sister Machi.
In the anime, is revealed that Coemushi was actually a human from another Earth who also participated in a series of battles to protect it. He tried to amuse their guide in order to become the successor, thus being able to survive, but in the end, another child was chosen. He then begged for a chance to survive and the guide decided to accept his request, by transforming him into his replacement.
In the manga, Coemushi's attitude towards the children is mostly sarcastic, sometimes sadistic; in the anime he ends up being much more cruel, especially when he tries to convince Jun to let Kana sign the contract. When Jun declines his request, he tries to make Kana sign the contract by force, and ends up being shot to death by Machi using the gun Jun gave to her.
Coemushi is also featured in "Bokurano Alternative". His appearance in this installment is not too different from the original, save the fact that he now sports a red bandana. His personality, however, is markedly more polite.
Mr. Sasami
One of the SDF officers who was to supervise the children. He has a number of fingers severed after threatening Dung Beatle at gunpoint during their first encounter. Due to his injuries and Dung Beatle's enmity towards him he does not take a role as one of the children's caretakers. It is revealed in a later chapter that his fingers have been successfully reattached.
Shouji appears only in the manga with his role as the one who threatens Dung Beatle being taken by Masamitsu Seki in the anime.
Tamotsu Sakakibara
An anime-only character. A convicted Yakuza who recently left prison after carrying a 10 year sentence and works for Jun's grandfather. He was also friends with his father to the point of feeling himself responsible for his death in part. By Misumi's request, he assumed the task of aiding her to protect the children from harm. He also knows about Jun's connection with his employers, but hides the truth from him, despite sometimes accidentally calling him "bocchan" ("little boss").
Mayako Makishima
* AKA: Maya (マヤ)
* Grade: Unknown
* Height: 150cm
* Blood Type: A
Exclusive to the light novel "Bokurano Alternative". A mysterious girl wearing black clothes in gothic lolita style, and one of the new pilots.
Tsubasa Hiiragi
* Blood Type: AB
While in the anime and manga, Tsubasa's role is limited to her connection with Moji, in the light novel she is one of the pilots instead of him.
Kozue Kurasaka
* AKA: Kozue (コズエ)
Another light novel-exclusive character. A handicapped girl in a wheelchair, and also a pilot.
Maria Ichinose
* AKA: Maria (マリア)
* Blood Type: O
Deeply tanned and tall for her age, she is another pilot exclusive to the light novel.
* Bokurano
* List of Bokurano robots
Analogue terrestrial television in the United Kingdom
