Ranking All The Fear Factory Studio Albums
ByLinda Giantino Posted on January 11, 2022 January 10, 2022 Updated on January 10, 2022
Fear Factory's story begins in 1989 when the original formation of the heavy metal band first rocked together out of Los Angeles, California. For the first year, the band was originally known as Ulceration but changed it when the band members at that time were inspired by an observation they made of an armed security team guarding a factory. The original lineup of Fear Factory was Dino Cazares, Raymond Herrera, Dave Gibney, and Burton C. Bell. Among the lineup, only founder Cazares still remains with the band today. Over the years, there were a number of lineup changes where Cazares did depart from the band in 2003 but returned in 2009 with a brand new lineup. The discographic portfolio of Fear Factory features the recording and release of ten studio albums, three compilation albums, five extended plays (EPs), a demo album, a remix album, and a video album. In total, there are twenty-one singles and fourteen music videos to the band's credit.
10. Transgression
On August 23, 2005, (Transgression) was released as Fear Factory's sixth studio album. It mostly met with negative and mixed reviews by the critics with the majority of the agreement citing poor production value was the leading cause why this was the case. It was also the second album Fear Factory recorded without its founding member, Dino Cazares, and it would be the last for the band's original drummer, Raymond Herrera. While one key positive change Transgression had in its favor was seeing guitar solos, the overall sound of the album seemed the least refined of all the material the band has ever produced. In 2016, Metal Hammer Magazine classified Transgression as Fear Factory's worst album.
9. The Industrialist
(The Industrialist), after it was released on June 5, 2012, received mixed reviews by Fear Factory's fans and critics between the four different editions of the band's eighth studio album. While the band's musical performance in the album was consistent, there wasn't anything innovative about the material, something of which both the fans and music critics had hoped for. In sales, it has so far been Fear Factory's least profitable album.
8. Soul of a New Machine
On August 25, 1992, Fear Factory released its debut studio album, (Soul of a New Machine), through the record label, Roadrunner. It was the first of four albums associated with the label, as well as the least successful. The critics from Rock Hard Magazine gave the album favorable reviews, as did Kerrang! and AllMusic, all of them recognizing Fear Factory were musical legends in the making. Originally, Soul of a New Machine was designed as a conceptual album that later defined the rest of Fear Factory's material as the band continued to produce music over the years. The album's third track, (Scapegoat), was used as the theme song for Extreme Championship Wrestling (ECW) star, Jerry Lynn.
7. Mechanize
For the most part, when (Mechanize) was released on February 9, 2010, the album mostly received positive reviews from Fear Factory's fans and critics. It was the band's seventh studio album release, and the first since the return of founding member, Dino Cazares. There were three singles that were released from the album, starting with (Powershifter), then followed in sequence by (Fear Campaign), and (Final Exit). The single, Final Campaign, saw Fear Factory's playstyle step out of the norm from their better-known material as it featured a guitar solo. Among the albums this band has released, despite the good ratings it received, it was among the slowest-selling. In the 1994 film, The Crow: City of Angels, the song, (Big God/Raped Souls), was among the songs included in the movie's official soundtrack.
6. Aggression Continuum
Released on June 18, 2021, (Aggression Continuum) is Fear Factory's tenth studio album, which produced the single (Disrupter). The single was regarded as the twelfth best metal song of the year by online magazine publication, Loudwire. In the UK, Aggression Continuum has become extremely popular as it was the second most popular, according to its Rock & Metal Albums chart.
5. Archetype
(Archetype) was Fear Factory's fifth studio album, as well as the first without founding member Dino Cazares. The single, (Bite the Hand that Bleeds) charted at number forty-seven on the US Billboard Hot 100 and was one of the songs used in the 2004 horror film, Saw. On the soundtrack of UFC: Beat Downs, Vol. 1, (Slave Labor) was included as one of its songs. Both the fans and the music critics favored the album, noting even without Cazares Fear Factory can still produce material that doesn't sound forced, nor materialistic.
4. Genexus
The brutal and abrasive album, (Genexus), was Fear Factory's ninth release, which came out on August 7, 2015. In reviews made by music critics, it was highly favorable, where the group was recognized as still having enough star quality to bring forth good metal music. It was also considered the most melodic compared to the group's previous work. Genexus was the final album featuring Burton C. Bell on lead vocals as he retired from the band in 2020. This left Dino Cazeras as the final original band member still with the group.
3. Digimortal
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CDVyK6mN–M
Fear Factory's fourth studio album, (Digimortal), was released on April 24, 2001, and was received with favorable reviews by the group's fans and music critics. (Linchpin) was the first of two singles from the album, but was the only one that earned chart success. On the US Billboard Mainstream Rock chart, Linchpin charted at number thirty-one and it was a number eighty-five hit on the UK Singles Chart. Commercially, Digimortal seemed to be a disappointment compared to Fear Factory's second and third studio albums, but this was due to the band's fans feeling put off about the music becoming too melodic and radio-friendly for their liking. Digimortal was the first album Fear Factory wanted to put more focus on refined music play as a personal preference as members of the band wanted to evolve their material. It was the final album founder Dino Cazeras recorded with the band as animosity between himself and fellow band members resulted in him taking an eight-year hiatus before he'd return in 2009.
2. Demanufacture
(Demanufacture) was Fear Factory's second studio album, which was released on June 13, 1995. In addition to becoming certified silver by the British Phonographic Industry (BPI) of the UK and certified gold by Australia Recording Industry Association (ARIA), it also put forth the band's first charted single. (Dog Day Sunrise) charted at number eighty-five on the UK Singles Chart. Among many of Fear Factory's fans, Demanufacture is their personal favorite. The album's entire storyline, played in industrial metal format, focused on mankind's struggle against a machine-controlled government. Much of the album's music has been featured in video games such as Test Drive 5, Mortal Kombat, and GameShark 2. Demanufacture was the second album in a row where many music critics cited Fear Factory as performers well ahead of the times where it was up to the rest of the music industry to catch up and follow.
1. Obsolete
Released as Fear Factory's third studio album, (Obsolete) first became available for the public on July 28, 1998. Among the European and Oceania nations, the album performed remarkably well. In the US, this was no exception as Obsolete earned a gold certification from the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA). It also became certified gold by Australia's ARIA. The album released five singles where three of them saw charting success. (Resurrection) appeared at number eighty-eight on the US Singles Chart, then it was (Descent), which charted at number thirty-eight on the US Billboard Mainstream Rock Chart. (Cars) was the most successfully charted single in Fear Factory's career as it climbed as high as number sixteen on the US Billboard Mainstream Rock Chart, and was a number thirty-eight hit on the US Billboard Alternative Airplay chart. In the UK, Cars charted at number fifty-seven. Gary Numan's 1979 original hit single, Cars, was performed by Fear Factory in 1996 as part of an encore performance when the band was on its European tour. Upon learning about his song played in tours, Gary Numan requested to perform it with Burton C. Bell. In addition to turning Fear Factory's version of Cars into a duet, Numan also performed a spoken narrative, by the band's request, for the album, Obsolete.

Attention all Patrick Demspey fans, our McDreamy will be starring in an upcoming Romantic Comedy entitled 'Made of Honor'.
The Hollywood Reporter says the film tells the story of a man (Dempsey) who is in love with a woman who is engaged to someone else.
When the woman asks Dempsey's character to be her 'maid of honour', he sets about trying to make her fall for him.
The 'woman' has yet to be cast (maybe it will be Ellen Pompeo? lol).

I decide to put here all the information (clips, photos...) that I find.
I wish that you enjoy this web.


InSphero compared 38 compounds for short-term (5 day) and long-term (14 day) toxicity. In this study, 17 out of 38 drugs did not show any difference between compound exposures, while 21 out of 38 drugs displayed lower IC50 values when exposed for 14 days. Thus, reducing the exposure period from 14 to 7 days (max.) allows quicker turnaround while retaining acceptable sensitivity for hepatotoxicants.


The U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) has fined Bank of New York Mellon (BNY Mellon) $14.8 million for bribery of foreign officials and failure to maintain adequate internal controls over the bank's anti-corruption program.
The SEC said that BNY Mellon bribed foreign officials of a Middle Eastern country's sovereign wealth fund (SWF) by providing the officials' family members with student internships at the bank. In addition, the SEC said that although the bank had an anti-corruption compliance program in place, its internal controls were insufficient to properly implement the program.
Specifically, the SEC found that BNY Mellon's provision of student internships violated the anti-bribery provision of the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act (FCPA), which makes it illegal for U.S. companies to offer or provide "anything of value" to foreign public officials in exchange for gaining or retaining business.
The SEC filed a cease-and-desist order against BNY Mellon that alleged the bank hired three interns related to senior officials of the Middle Eastern country's SWF following repeated requests by those officials. The order stated that the bank conducted internal discussions that resulted in the decision to hire the interns because those hires were necessary to retain the SWF's business.
The SEC also found that BNY Mellon failed to have the necessary internal controls in place to prevent the alleged bribery. Specifically, the SEC charged that the bank had no policy in place against the hiring of clients' relatives and that managers were able to make those hires without the proper review from human resources.
"Financial services providers face unique corruption risks when seeking to win business in international markets, and we will continue to scrutinize industries that have not been vigilant about complying with the FCPA," said Kara Brockmeyer, chief of the SEC Enforcement Division's FCPA Unit, in a press release announcing the fine.
BNY Mellon has agreed to pay $8.3 million in disgorgement, $1.5 million in prejudgment interest and a $5 million civil penalty to settle the FCPA violations allegations.

I know it got cancelled, it seems people always want cheap entertainment and not the serious highly intelligent one.
Yep its not (funny) enough for (deal or no Deal) viewers.
The first few episodes were solid but then the writers added too many romantic and mushy scenes I think.
It seemed every character was falling in love, obviously they tried to make the show more appealing to the average viewer who doesn't like to use too many brain cells watching TV.
Let's hope Aaron Sorkin next project is better than this one..although I should say, the Pilot and the Christmas show were really excellent.
Any news if they modify any of the laws?

The series is set in modern times. It is an fun action-adventure series very loosely based on real-life explorer Barry Clifford, an expert in salvaging sunken artefacts. The series has a supernatural element which adds to its appeal. The characters are based on a ship called the Vast Explorer which allows them to travel all over the world seeking adventure and lost treasure/artefacts.
Judson Cross (Michael Biehn), leader of a team of adventurers aboard his exploration yacht, Vast Explorer.
Mackenzie Previn (Karen Cliche), an independent and resourceful member of the team with a mysterious past and an unsettling knowledge of weapons and explosives.
Gabriel Patterson (Jesse Nilsson), 22-year-old electronics whiz - and son of a U.S. senator - determined to follow his own path.

T7513: Problem about calculating frequency of function in DB.
When the file DB was merged into the destination DB, the nb_occ of the widget functions was just incremented by 1 without taking into account if the function is always used or not. This led to always generate the function at the widget generation.
To fix this, we increment the nb_occ by the frequency (e.g 0.22 = nb_occ / wdg->nb_occ) instead of 1.
The result of calculation is 0 with type casting.
Eventually, max of the random function becomes -1, causing segfault.
Some int *_occ are using _Wdg_Function->nb_occ.
I think we need to check all the code that uses this.
Super right! :-) Good catch!
jsuya mentioned this in T7513: Problem about calculating frequency of function in DB..


The warmth, the coziness the yumminess of Buttermilk Biscuits. I swoon. Before making these I didn't think they would be so easy to whip up (uhhh knead?). But the lovely Sarah Carey from the Youtube Channel Everyday Food made them irresistible so I had to give them a try. Are they easy to make? Yes. Do they taste way better than any restaurant version you have ever tasted? I bet they do. That's all you need to know in advance, people.
This recipe comes form the Martha Stewart site but to make life easier and based on what I already had on hand I made some small changes. Since I didn't have any buttermilk I replaced it with heavy cream (yum). No food processor? No worries, most of us don't so use a blender. Yep, this will literally perform the exact same job. The only thing to keep in mind is to add the dry ingredients and the very (I mean, very, VERY) cold butter that has been cut into cubes, in small batches. This is to allow the blender to have space to properly perform the job that the food processor would have done. After all, we are adding flour with no liquid to help it do the "blending" with. As you would with the processor, pulse the mixture until it is the texture of course sand. Leave pea sized pieces of butter in there too. When the butter melts in the oven it helps with the layers and the flakiness of the biscuits.
To create those flaky layers another thing I did was roll the dough, fold it over, roll and fold over once more. I repeated this about 3 times. Of course, you want to work fast as we don't want the butter to melt yet. If it begins to do so, pop the dough in the freezer for 5-10 minutes then proceed once chilled.
I cut the rounds with a biscuit cutter, (you can use a cup, no special equipment necessary) and then put them in the freezer for 5 minutes because the dough should be very cold before going in the oven (and with the heat of the kitchen it was softening a bit). I then brushed them with melted salted butter for an extra layer of savoriness. My, did this make them taste incredibly decadent.
These biscuits are ideal to have during breakfast, to take on your next picnic (summer is coming along so loads of those coming soon, I imagine) and with coffee or tea. Here everybody loves them and with good reason. I do limit myself to making them once a month though.
Preheat oven to 450 degrees. In a bowl, mix flour, baking powder, baking soda, sugar, and salt to combine.
In a food processor or blender add dry ingredients and cold butter; pulse until mixture is the texture of coarse meal, with a few pea-size pieces of butter remaining. Add buttermilk (or heavy cream); pulse just until dough is moistened, 2 to 3 times.
Turn dough onto a lightly floured work surface; knead just to combine (do not overwork). Roll with a floured rolling pin (or pat with hands) to a 1-inch thickness. Fold once and roll again. Repeat this 3 times (working fast).
Cut out rounds with a floured 2 1/2-inch round biscuit cutter or cup.
Transfer to a baking sheet, 1 1/2 inches apart. (Reroll and cut scraps only once). Brush top and sides of rounds with melted salted butter. Bake until biscuits are puffed and golden, 15 to 25 minutes. Serve warm or at room temperature. Serve with jam or anything you want.

No Alien Signals Detected From Kepler's New Exoplanet
After pointing the Allen Telescope Array at a newly-found exoplanet discovered by NASA's Kepler space telescope, SETI reports there is no transmitting alien civilization. But the search continues...
SETI has pointed a powerful radio telescope array at the Kepler Space Telescope's most recent exoplanetary discovery in the hope of detecting an artificially-generated radio signal. Alas, the world is not transmitting, and probably isn't home to an extraterrestrial intelligence.
13 Ways to Hunt Intelligent Aliens
SETI, which stands for the Search for Extraterrestrial Intelligence, utilized the Allen Telescope Array (ATA), located in at Hat Creek Radio Observatory, 290 miles northeast of San Francisco, Calif., to study HIP 116454b, an exoplanet 180 light-years away in the constellation Pisces. The exoplanet, that measures 2.5 times the diameter of Earth (and is therefore defined as a 'super-Earth'), was the first discovery made by Kepler in its rebooted "K2″ mission.
During its primary mission, the Kepler suffered the breakdown of its second reaction wheel in May 2013. The loss of stability forced Kepler into an early retirement. Fortunately, NASA engineers were able to think up an ingenious new mission profile that requires only two of the four reaction wheels to be operational. And in December, K2′s first exoplanet discovery was announced: HIP 116454b.
HIP 116454b isn't, however, what we would consider to be 'habitable' in any way. The super-Earth has a rapid 9-day orbit around its host star and is therefore expected to be a roasted world, probably tidally locked (i.e. with one hemisphere of the exoplanet constantly facing its star).
NEWS: Kepler Makes First Exoplanet Discovery After Reboot
Why would SETI bother aiming the ATA at this unlikely target, searching for radio signals from a hypothetical alien civilization?
"...as centuries of experience have shown, observation sometimes trumps expectation, and that is why new exoplanets - whether they seem promising for life or not - are routinely observed by the SETI Institute with the Allen Telescope Array," writes SETI Institute Senior Astronomer and Director Seth Shostak.
In other words, just because we deem a planet too harsh for "life as we know it" to evolve, science has this wonderful habit for turning up results we didn't expect - so why not listen in on HIP 116454b?
Historically, SETI has listened focused distant stars in the hope of detecting narrow-band radio signals from technologically-advanced extraterrestrials. The logic is that humanity is constantly leaking radio signals into space, and we consider ourselves to be at least technologically proficient, so if we can detect similar signals from another star system, perhaps there's another civilization out there at a similar state of technological can-do as us.
ANALYSIS: No Transmitting Aliens Detected in Kepler SETI Search
But before the age of exoplanetary discoveries, SETI was uncertain whether the stars they were eavesdropping in on even hosted planets. But now, especially since the launch of Kepler in 2009, there are an abundance of stellar targets that are known to host exoplanets - many of which orbit in the habitable zones of their stars. Therefore, following up on these Kepler discoveries with the ATA has ushered in a new era of "directed SETI."
So far, the ATA has been looking for signals in the 1000-2250 MHz range emanating from HIP 116454b and Shostak reports that higher frequencies will also be analyzed. It seems that directed SETI will leave no exoplanetary stone unturned in its epic and sustained mission to seek out intelligent extraterrestrial life in our galaxy.

Cowboys & Aliens are Coming!
If aliens are going out of their way to kick up dust in the Wild West, as they do in the upcoming movie "Cowboys & Aliens," they must be coming from somewhere. Life could take root on a moon or a meteorite. But to nurture the kind of life that could destroy our saloons and harass our livestock, a planet might be the most suitable. So far, Kepler, a NASA orbiting telescope that searches for planets beyond our solar system, has detected over 1,200 exoplanets. Surely there must be a few candidates among this group that could meet some of the most basic requirements to host life? Explore some far-out worlds that could support aliens, be they cattle-rustling characters or a more peaceful people.
First, let's lay out some basic criteria. Kepler hasn't identified many rocky worlds and a solid surface is essential for life to take root. Size matters: The mass of the planet helps astrophysicists infer what it's made of. Some planets are Earth-sized. Others are several times the size of our planet. And then there are gas giants, which can range from "Neptune sized" to "super-Jupiters." Orbit: To support life, a planet must be in a stable orbit around its star -- no planets with wonky orbits that will eventually dump them into their star for a fiery death. Goldilocks Zone: This is a region not too hot or too cold that gives the planet enough distance from its parent star to have liquid water, key for life. Loner Stars: Single stars make better parents. In 2010, a pair of closely orbiting binary stars was spotted surrounded by what could be the debris of former planets. Unknowns: Some factors for life can't be confirmed one way or the other from the data available about extrasolar planets. These include: water, chemical compounds such as ammonia; a nitrogen-rich atmosphere; a magnetic field to repel solar and cosmic radiation; and more. BUT, some planets do have a head-start, beginning with Gliese 581D.
Gliese 581d
Located a mere 20 light-years away, practically our backyard in cosmic terms, Gliese 581d is situated on the "outer fringes" of the Goldilocks zone, orbiting a red dwarf star. The planet may be warm enough and wet enough to support life in much the same manner as Earth. It might also contain a thick carbon atmosphere. If we ever need a new Earth and have the means to get there, Gliese 581d may be our best bet for now.
Gliese 581g
When it was first detected and reported last year in Astrophysical Journal, Gliese 581g appeared to be the perfect candidate for a true "Earth-like" planet. Located in the same star system as Gliese 581d (and detected earlier), Gliese 581g seemed to be the right size and located within a habitable zone away from its parent star. Gliese 581g was said to have three times the mass of Earth, making it possible for the planet to hold an atmosphere. However, since its discovery, follow-up studies have alleged that Gliese 581g might have been a false alarm. In other words, the planet might not exist at all.
GJ 1214b
Dubbed a "waterworld" and located a mere 42 light-years from Earth, GJ 1214b orbits near a red dwarf star about one-fifth the size of our sun. What makes this planet unique is that it appears to be primarily composed of water, although GJ 1214b is 6.5 times the mass of Earth and 2.7 times wider, which classifies it as a "super-Earth." This planet also has a steamy atmosphere composed of thick, dense clouds of hydrogen, which, although it might not the case with this planet, could incubate life.
HD 209458b
Situated 150 light-years from Earth, HD 209458b is a planet that holds traces of water vapor in its atmosphere, and also contains basic organic compounds that, on Earth, foster the development of life. But there are two factors working against HD 209458b as a suitable habitat. The planet is very hot due to its close proximity to its parents star, and it's a gas giant, so no solid surfaces.
If Kepler-10b were located further from its parent star, it might have had a chance of hosting life. Kepler-10b was the first "iron-clad proof of a rocky planet beyond our solar system" back in 2001. It was even dubbed the "missing link" of extrasolar planetary research. When it comes to the search for life, though, Kepler 10-b is missing a lot of other ingredients -- just minor things like water or an atmosphere.
Project Icarus
When venturing to a new star system to explore the possibility of extraterrestrial life, trying a star that has already shown itself to nurture planets -- even if they're not the kind you're looking for -- could be a promising strategy. Project Icarus, an ambitious five-year study into launching an unmanned spacecraft to an interstellar destination, has identified two stars located within 15 light-years that might fit the bill: "epsilon Eridani, a single K star 10.5 light-years away, and the red dwarf GJ 674, 14.8 light-years away." Indirect evidence has also shown that epsilon Eridani may already hold smaller worlds scientists simply haven't detected yet. Also, red dwarf star systems generally may be a safe haven for life.
Taking into account the number of exoplanets that have been detected, as well as the vastly greater number that are estimated to be out there, some astrophysicists are convinced that extraterrestrial life is inevitable. After all, the Milky Way may be loaded with as many as 50 billion alien worlds. Some even think we'll find alien life by 2020. Others, however, say it may not exist at all. Recently, astrophysicists David Spiegel of Princeton University and Edwin Turner from the University of Tokyo suggested we might be alone in the universe, based on their interpretation of the Drake equation, a formula meant to determine loosely the probability of the existence of life beyond Earth. According to their analysis, just because life on Earth took shape early, endured and prospered doesn't mean the same process would naturally and inevitably occur elsewhere in the universe. Discovering life elsewhere, however, would be the only means of settling this debate. Unless the aliens find us first, of course.

Schafer, M., Schneider, T.R., Sheldrick, G.M.
Vancomycin and other related glycopeptide antibiotics are clinically very important because they often represent the last line of defence against bacteria that have developed resistance to antibiotics. Vancomycin is believed to act by binding nascent cell wall mucopeptides terminating in the sequence D-Ala-D-Ala, weakening the resulting cell wall. Extensive NMR and other studies have shown that the formation of asymmetric antibiotic dimers is important in peptide binding. Despite intensive efforts the crystal structure of vancomycin has been extremely difficult to obtain, partly because high-resolution data were unavailable, and partly because the structure was too large to be solved by conventional "direct methods'.

Share All sharing options for: Eddie Olczyk to make weekly appearances on ESPN 1000 with David Kaplan
Chicago Blackhawks Broadcaster Eddie Olczyk at the United Center, Friday, December 8th, 2017. | James Foster/For the Sun-Times
There's a familiar face that will now keep radio host David Kaplan company twice a week on ESPN's "Kap & Co."
Eddie Olczyk, the top TV analyst for the Blackhawks and NBC Sports, will be joining Kaplan as a cohost during the 9 a.m. to noon show on ESPN Radio WMVP AM 1000, according to Robert Feder. Olczyk, who is a Chicago native and former Hawks star, will be on two days a week — generally Mondays and Fridays, Feder reported.
"To work with Kap, who is a great friend and a media legend in our city, will be challenging and a lot of fun," Olczyk, 51, said in a statement. "I cannot wait to join him."
Kaplan tweeted that the feeling was mutual.
So excited to have Edzo with us! He is awesome! https://t.co/fyx8Awgv3k
— David Kaplan (@thekapman) June 19, 2018
The new gig brings a new start to Olczyk after he endured one of the hardest years of his life.
After being diagnosed with Stage 3 colon cancer last August, Olczyk underwent several rounds of chemotherapy, which kept him out of the broadcast booth for most of the season.
But at the end of his final chemo session in March, Olczyk told the Sun-Times he was ready to bounce back.
"I traded in six months of hell for 50 more years," Olczyk said. "I think I'd make a pretty good general manager if I can make that trade. And there's no cap restrictions on that."

DEAN: Well, you eat cute.
RORY: I do not eat cute. No one eats cute. Bambi maybe, but he's a cartoon.
Bambi is a 1942 animated film produced by Walt Disney, and based on the 1923 children's book Bambi, a Life in the Woods by Austrian author Felix Salten. Bambi is a deer, and the film shows him growing up from a newborn fawn to being the Great Prince of the Forest. As a fawn, he does indeed eat in a cute way. Although harshly reviewed by critics at the time, Bambi is now regarded as a classic and one of the best animated films of all time.
This is the second time in the episode that Rory has been compared to a Disney cartoon animal.

Gemfibrozil is classified as a fibric acid derivative and is used in the treatment of hyperlipidaemias. It has effects on plasma-lipid concentrations similar to those described under bezafibrate. The major effects of gemfibrozil have been a reduction in plasma-triglyceride concentrations and an increase in high-density lipoprotein (HDL) cholesterol concentrations. A reduction in very-low-density lipoprotein (VLDL)-triglyceride appears to be largely responsible for the fall in plasma triglyceride although reductions in HDL and low-density lipoprotein (LDL)-triglycerides have also been reported.
The effects of gemfibrozil on total cholesterol have been more variable: in general, LDL-cholesterol may be decreased in patients with pre-existing high concentrations and raised in those with low concentrations. The increase in HDL-cholesterol concentrations has resulted in complementary changes to the ratios of HDL-cholesterol to LDL-cholesterol and to total cholesterol. Gemfibrozil has successfully raised HDL-cholesterol concentrations in patients with isolated low levels of HDL-cholesterol but otherwise normal cholesterol concentrations.The Helsinki heart study assessed gemfibrozil for the primary prevention of ischaemic heart disease in middle-aged men with hyperlipidaemia. The usual dose, by mouth, is 1.2 g daily in two divided doses given 30 min before the morning and evening meals. Gemfibrozil is available as tablets for oral administration (Lopid: USP).

Gemfibrozil is the generic name for an oral drug used to lower lipid levels. It belongs to a group of drugs known as fibrates. It is most commonly sold as the brand name, Lopid. Other brand names include Jezil and Gen-Fibro.
Gemfibrozil was selected from a series of related compounds synthesized in the laboratories of the American company Parke Davisin the late 1970s. It came from research for compounds that lower plasma lipid levels in humans and in animals.[1]
Is an activator of peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor-alpha (PPARα), a nuclear receptor that is involved in metabolism ofcarbohydrates and fats, as well as adipose tissue differentiation. This increase in the synthesis of lipoprotein lipase thereby increases the clearance of triglycerides.[citation needed]
Reduce triglyceride levels [2]
Reduce very low density lipoprotein (VLDL) levels
Modest reduction of low density lipoprotein (LDL) levels
Moderate increase in high density lipoprotein (HDL) levels
Nontherapeutic effects and toxicities
GI distress
Increased incidence of gallstone
Hypokalemia (low blood potassium)
Increased risk of cancer
Hyperlipidemia (Type III): Gemfibrozil is the drug of choice for therapy.
Hypertriglyceridemia (Type IV): Gemfibrozil, though not as effective as niacin, is better tolerated.[citation needed]
Gemfibrozil should not be given to these patients:
Hepatic dysfunction
Gemfibrozil should be used with caution in these higher risk categories:
Biliary tract disease
Renal dysfunction
Obese patients
Anticoagulants: Gemfibrozil potentiates the action of warfarin and indanedione anticoagulants.[citation needed]
Statin drugs: Concomitant administration of fibrates (including gemfibrozil) with statin drugs increases the risk of muscle cramping, myopathy, andrhabdomyolysis.
Gemfibrozil inhibits the activation of the liver's Cytochrome P450 system, reducing hepatic metabolism of many drugs, and prolonging their half lives and duration of action.
Drugs metabolized by the Cytochrome P450 system include:
Many antidepressants
Many antipsychotics
Many antiepileptics
Theophylline and other methylxanthine drugs
Several anesthetic agents
Oral contraceptive pills
Gemfibrozil has been detected in biosolids (the solids remaining after wastewater treatment) at concentrations up to 2650 ng/g wet weight.[3] This indicates that it survives the wastewater treatment process.
The sodium isobutyrate (I) is metallated with lithium diisopropylamide, and the resulting compound is alkylated with 3- (2,5-dimethylphenoxy) propyl bromide.

A Right, Not a Luxury
'More people speak Polish than speak Irish', this is the attitude that former First Minister and leader of the DUP, Arlene Foster has towards the Irish language. It is also the attitude that a large portion of the North has towards the language. Many see it as a failed revival with only a small percentage of the population using it daily. However, this is not how I see it. I see it as a resistant language which overcame the anglicization of Ireland which persists to this day, with its numbers growing stronger daily.
Before the current political disarray facing the North, I never really saw the need for an "Acht Na Gaelige". I wore my fáinne daily with pride, using it as a conversation starter and as a way for other gaelgeoirs to identify me without the need for awkward Smalltalk beforehand. I felt content with my language and the attitude towards it. I knew of its treatment in earlier years, with the lack of funding towards Irish medium schools and a lack of faith in the future of the language. However, I thought those were issues of the past. Yet, this past year, the eyes of many have been opened to the true discrimination members of the Irish language community continue to experience. For many, it started with the removal of the Líofa bursaries, a scheme of £50,000 that aimed to allowed less fortunate children to attend Irish Language summer camps. Then came cuts for youth services, many of which being taken through the Irish medium. The Irish language community was angry and so was I. It was then the necessity of "Acht Na Gaelige" and the Irish Language's protection through legislation was clear to me.
However, despite these issues, many have begun to instil blame upon the Irish language community for the lack of an assembly, stating "Health is more important than the Irish Language" and "An Irish Language Act is too expensive" and understandably so. As in any other case of civil rights discrimination, often those who do not feel the iron fist of an oppressor see a necessity as a luxury . However, it is extremely important for those people to realise that for many, it is not a luxury. For many, language rights are human rights. For many, the lack of an Irish language act is discrimination on a constitutional level.
Another roadblock in the pathway to an Irish language act is the supposed republicanisation of its implementation. With many objectors claiming that it is a Trojan horse to a United Ireland, or that gaelscoileanna are nothing more than training camps for budding republicans. It is time this prehistoric notion is recognised as what it is. Prehistoric. Gaeilgeoirí are requesting nothing more than is already available in other regions of the UK.
The Welsh have a Welsh language act.
The Scottish have the Scottish Gaelic act.
Why is it so absurd that the North should have an Irish Language Act? Is this a problem deeper than discrimination? Is it time we reform the petition of concern? Is the aspect of our society that is supposed to protect minorities the very thing that is oppressing them?
And on the aforementioned cost of the implementation of an An Irish language act, Conradh na Gaelige have estimated that it would initially cost a one-off £8.5million to implement an Irish Language Act, with a further annual £2million cost. Is this too great a cost? According to the DUP, these figures are "reasonable", yet they continue to oppose this act. You would think that they'd be the main advocate for the act considering how often they preach that it was the "Presbyterians that saved the language from extinction." This once more is nothing more than the politicization of the language. An act of discrimination.
This discrimination is then reinforced when Arlene Foster, the leader of the largest party and former First Minister begins to belittle these rights and the overarching culture of Ireland stating, 'More people speak Polish' and that the language has become too politicised. Is this not a clear example of why an Acht is necessary? Should this ignorance be tolerated?
The Irish language community will take this no more. People are coming out in their masses to show that there is a demand and a need for an Irish Language Act. An Lá dearg, showed the people's support when thousands of gaelgeoirs flooded the streets of Belfast, with no particular political party at mind. With only a love for the language. It has been 16 years since the Good Friday agreement, 8 years since the St Andrew's Agreement, yet Irish language speakers are still being treated as second class citizens. In order to withhold the integrity of these agreements the Irish language community must be respected.
As a result, now my fáinne acts as a political magnet, attracting conversations on the future of the assembly and questions regarding my opinion on an Act. Arlene Foster was right on one thing, my language has been politicised. It was politicised by those who have continued to deny language rights and belittle the Irish language community.

Sawtell Church Redevelopment
Catholic Diocese of Lismore
The Parish of Mary Help of Christians, Sawtell Church Redevelopment project consisted of major alterations and additions to a building which was originally built as a Hall in the early 1950's.
The idea of the alterations and additions was to vastly improve the facilities for the congregation and the community at large whilst making the buildings purpose more identifiable.
Works included the remodeling of the western facade to provide a more welcoming entry, enhancement of the worship spaces, construction of a new bell tower and to ensure WHS compliance of the building.

I started a business this year but did not make any money. Do I need to report this on my tax return?
Answer: You should report any gain or loss you made on the business even if you did not make any money. In many situations a business loss can offset other income.
Example: A taxpayer starts a business in October 2004. The taxpayer spends $10,000 on different business expenses, but money only starts to come in during 2005. The taxpayer reports the $10,000 loss on his 2004 tax return and it lowers the taxes he would have otherwise had to pay on the money he made during the first part of the year.

Founded in 1962, ASM has been educating international students from more than 50 countries for more than 50 years. The school's mission is to provide a modern and rigorous education for international students to excel in the changing world of tomorrow.
ASM offers an American-style international program, preparing students for success in the International Baccalaureate Diploma program that begins in the last 2 years of our high school.
We provide a student-centered, American-style education that encourages children to develop their full potential, achieve personal excellence and become global citizens committed to lifelong learning. We embrace the IB learner profile along with our school values of accountability, respect and empowerment. Technology is a key focus at ASM and an integral part of student learning.
Learning at ASM starts with our Early Childhood program for 3 and 4-year olds. Students begin school at age 5 with Kindergarten and then continue elementary school through grade 5. Our middle school program covers grade 6-8 with students following an international or terza media track. High school is 4 years from grades 9-12, culminating with the IB Diploma program.


I felt unprepared for such a demonic attack on my grey matter. When you're on a quiz show, such as 'Who Wants To Be a Millionaire', they at least start you off with a simple question, such as "how do you spell 'moron'?", before moving on to questions of higher complexity.
The alternative option is for the shopkeeper to fold the wrapping paper. That's much more sensible, allowing me to easily fit it into my bag. However, when I go to wrap the gift, it's going to end up with great big folds in it. Still, if I have it rolled then it'll end up battered anyway. So, maybe it's the best of a bad bunch.
This is why i ALWAYS buy gift bags or boxes instead – never buy paper, it makes me cry at the till and long long queues form behind me.
that's a very good idea. The only problem is that I love to wrap stuff up so well that it takes the person 25 minutes to unwrap their gift (you know, increase the anticipation to the point where they want to throw the item in the bin in frustration).
LOL at the thought of you standing at the till crying. I might actually have to deliberately try that and see what reaction I get!


Taylor Swift is back, and yes she is the same old Tay Tay: new sound, same old obsessions. I downloaded Miss Swift's album before my flight from London to Madrid and had the chance of listening to all of her brand new 15 songs. Here's the ranking, from worst to best song on her new LP.
My personal least favorite of the the album, in which Taylor tries to describe what seems to be starting out as a one night stand that then turns into something else. Pretending not to care too much "honestly, baby who's counting", meeting in the middle of the night with a "magician", an "illusionist", Taylor describes a specific moment between her and this guy, how things evolve from her lipstick on his face, to having all the pieces falling right into one place.
There's just something about this next track that doesn't convince me at all. Is she trying to not be blamed once again for everything she's ever done, or using love as an excuse for it all? Is it a message for the media, or is it specifically addressed to someone? The sound and the rhythm are very good (even if it sounds too "churchy" at some point), I guess what I'm not genuinely convinced about are the lyrics.
Basically the new brand sassier version of Bad Blood and the pettiest song Swift has ever written. In 'This Is Why We Can't Have Nice Things', Taylor is the older annoying sibling who tells off the younger one, trying to educate him by giving him a lesson and blaming him for ruining the fun. Despite the annoying voice tone that comes across as a painful teacher we all had in high school, the rhythm of the song is fun and has a nice beat to it. Oh, and did I mention it includes a very evil laugh too? A whole new level, Tay.
The perfect pop song starts like a slow wave you see from very far away that slowly approaches the beach, until suddenly it's extremely close and it finally hits you, and you don't only want to sing along to it but you also recognize straight away the feeling it's been hiding in its water. We all have been loving someone in secret before, and it felt exactly like dancing with them with our hands tied. Queen of metaphors.
Definitely one of Taylor's biggest game-changers. She stepped out big time from who she used to be with this track. It's mysterious, it's dark, it talks about "things she dreams to do with this guy" and it has a pretty clear sexual hint. Whoever this guy is, Taylor really wants you to know that he was the best one in bed (and he changed her for good). Sorry to all the other exes.
This song was a pretty big statement when it first came out: the lyrics are brilliant, the video was even better, and the sarcastic irony that she put out on herself was absolutely magnificent. Like a beautiful phoenix, Miss Swift rises from the ashes, after being silent and locked in one of her spectacular houses around the world. The perfect single to redefine a new era and to try to kill the past one.
An anthem! The song expresses exactly what happens when you're finally free, happy, love yourself deeply and you're also pretty much happy with being single, and that is the exact moment when True Love comes around. The One. Taylor loves Alice in Wonderland references (she literally wrote a song called Wonderland for 1989) and King of my Heart is the male version of the Wonderland's Queen, but despite that, this is the literal sequel of Blank Space. I can already picture the video in my mind.
The most "Red" song of the whole album, at least lyrics wise. Taylor asks to the guy with "dark jeans and Nikes" to love her for who because her reputation has never been this bad before. Despite the cool font on the front of the cover, the Goth look, Taylor Swift is still a human and a woman and she asks herself things before jumping into things, if it's too soon, if it's delicate enough. Somehow it will remind you of Begin Again, like a new cooler updated sister of the song.
Haven't we all bought a dress at some point just because a certain someone could take it off of us? Taylor tries to make it clear that she doesn't want to be only friend with this guy (been there, done that!), she specifics that they met when they were not their best selves but still, she now wakes up next to him.
The only ballad on the album, which is kind of a shame, because those are the ones Taylor Swift writes best (hello, All Too Well). It will remind you of a cozy warm day spent in, after a massive party, celebrating the new year slowly and softly. It's like the beginning of a new relationship, and it happens to begin at the very beginning of the year, and it's magical, and it's romantic. Cheers, to new memories, new beginnings, and to a fresh new start.
Suddenly you're fifteen again, and all you can think about is your perfect crush. Raise your hand if as soon as GORGEOUS was released, your mind immediately thought of a specific person. This song is fun, the lyrics are cool, trendy and modern. How great does it make you feel when you jam in your car out to it?
I definitely didn't see this trio collaboration coming, but boy, oh boy, how genius is it? Sounds like nothing I've ever heard before, the lyrics float all perfectly into the song, and their three voices match together smoothly and in the right way. 'Reputation' sounds more majestic than ever in this specific tune, and the game is strong. We all always wanted to be the firsts, but how good is it to be their lasts?
Taylor is trying to be more badass than she's ever been. She claims she's done something very bad, yet it feels very good. She asks questions to herself, makes pretty strong threads, keeps blaming stuff on other people, and not on herself, but it sounds good, so we kind of pretend not to hear her out properly. It's a cool tune, probably the coolest of the whole album. It will make you kill that workout you've been postponing for ages.
Taylor's most 1989 track on the new album. The vibe is still the same we have loved on her previously LP and what we know best and we're used to expect from her. The classic image of a guy who is driving, with her, Bonnie and Clyde, revokes both "I Wish You Would" and "Style". The beat to it is simply perfection, it goes up and down like most relationships do. Swift loves the road, the cars, it's a classic image in the Taylor repertoire. She seems to be telling us: we were invincible but somehow we ended up losing anyway. I tired to get away, I cried, I fought, I was dying, but it didn't work anyway.
And last but not least, the absolute best song from Reputation, at least in my heart. I think this is the real change, the real victory. Not hiding once again being someone we are not. Being happy, being in love, not labelling anything. Being your true self, being full alone, not needing saving but wanting company. Because that's what a true/real/good/healthy relationship should sound like. They didn't complete your circle, you did it on your own, they just run away with you.
So here they are, the 15 brand new tracks Taylor Swift released on November 10th. This is Reputation, her Reputation. Despite the labels, the names, the judgments, or anything that's been ever thrown at her, I genuinely think the Old Taylor is still very much alive and she didn't kill her completely.

Lotus plans £2 million electric hypercar
Secret Omega project under way to create Bugatti-baiting EV; concept due in 2019.
By Mark Tisshaw, Autocar UK 06 Dec 2018 9322 Views Share -
Lotus' facility at Hethel
Lotus is set to stun the world with a new £2 million-plus (Rs 18 crore) electric hypercar that acts as a statement of intent under new owner Geely.
The new model will be built in strictly limited numbers, and will be the fastest, most expensive and most radical model made by Lotus in its 70-year history.
The project is shrouded in secrecy at Lotus's Hethel headquarters in Norfolk, but Autocar UK understands it has been given the codename Omega and development work is well under way, with a reveal of a concept version set for next year.
Further details are scarce at this stage, but Autocar UK can confirm the new model will use a bespoke all-electric drivetrain when it launches early in the next decade.
The £2m-plus price tag will propel Lotus into a rarefied league it has never gone near before; the firm has only recently started selling some variants of its models for more than £100,000 (Rs 90 lakh), including the Exige and 3-Eleven.
But while every Lotus since the Esprit has been a sports car rather than a supercar, the Omega project will see Lotus jump straight into the world of hypercar making. The model will be priced far in excess of the likes of previous electrified hypercars including the McLaren P1, LaFerrari and Porsche 918 Spyder, and close to the £2.5m Bugatti Chiron.
Lotus senses an opportunity with electric technology to reposition itself as the most cutting-edge of performance car makers. Its new majority shareholder, Geely, is keen to leverage Lotus as the halo brand for both technology and performance in its group, which also includes Volvo, Polestar, Lynk&Co, taxi maker LEVC, Proton and flying car maker Terrafugia.
Lotus has made its name creating lightweight models, so the adoption of electric power will pose a challenge to the Hethel engineers given the added weight of the batteries powering the electric motors.
To back up its price tag, Lotus will need some hefty headline numbers from its new hypercar – 1000 bhp plus is touted as one target – alongside some innovative, ground-breaking technology, through not only electric motors but possibly also next-generation battery technology to improve power density and reduce the amount of cells needed. This would help keep the car's kerb weight within the realms of the "simplify, then add lightness" philosophy embedded by Lotus founder Colin Chapman.
All-wheel drive through multiple electric motors will surely be a necessity to help get the Omega's considerable power and torque reserves to the road in an effective manner. As with most EVs coming now, a range of more than 250 miles will be needed, as will fast charging and a powerful energy recovery system to ensure any circuit running does not instantly deplete its batteries.
The only other such electric hypercar model to make production has been the Chinese-developed Nio EP9. The 1360bhp all-wheel-drive hypercar with a 265-mile range lapped the Nürburgring in 6min 45.9sec. (The fastest lap record is currently held by Porsche's 919 Hybrid Evo - 5:19.55).
With its current model range of Elise, Exige and Evora all rooted in ageing architectures, Lotus will use the electric hypercar to reposition itself as the most modern of performance car makers.
Lotus, perennially lossmaking and underfunded by a succession of owners over several decades, now has the world at its feet with Geely, which is planning to make the brand a force to be reckoned with on the world stage.
The new hypercar is not the only car in the works at Hethel, where Geely's majority stake is at 51 percent. The remainder is owned by Malaysian conglomerate Etika Automotive, which is fronted by billionaire Syed Mokhtar, who also owns Lotus's former owner DRB-Hicom.
Lotus will continue to be based at Hethel, where its sports cars will be produced alongside the engineering of all its models. But Lotus will also make use of a new Geely design centre in Coventry, and is recruiting designers and engineers across the organisation. What is currently unknown, however, is where the future SUV (also a major part of Lotus's plans) will be built. With limited capacity at Hethel, it is likely that Lotus will make use of Geely's numerous factories in places such as Sweden and the US.
Geely's presence is already starting to be felt around Lotus. While it develops the next generation of Lotus models, it is making a big play around the heritage of the brand to help with its global positioning ready for the launch of the new cars. To that end, it recently submitted planning permission for a new customer experience centre, heritage centre and museum to breathe new life into its Hethel site, where further redevelopments and upgrades are ongoing.
Geely has also installed new management at the firm, replacing Jean-Marc Gales, who helped stabilise Lotus and return it to profit. Feng Qingfeng, who is also in charge of Geely group engineering, is now CEO of Group Lotus, while former Jaguar Land Rover senior executive Phil Popham is CEO of Lotus Cars.
In response to Autocar UK's story, Lotus said it didn't comment on future product speculation. However, it added: "Lotus's development team is exploring numerous engineering projects, across multiple vehicle sectors, using several propulsion systems. As part of the development process, these projects undergo continual and stringent valuation and only the best will reach production."

John Ratzenberger Gives Kids the Tools to Build a Future
The actor wants to arm kids — with a hammer and a crescent wrench
by John Ratzenberger, AARP The Magazine, Oct/Nov 2016
Cody Pickens
John Ratzenberger offers shop class to young kids as well as reitrees.
En español | When I was growing up in Bridgeport, Conn., my friends and I played outside all the time. We dug holes, climbed trees, built tree houses and repaired our own bicycles. We grew up using tools to fix things.
Sign up for the AARP Leisure Newsletter — and get movie reviews, great games and more delivered to you every month
When I was 14, I decided that I wanted to learn how to build a house and everything in it, and I did. I've built two of my own homes.
Now we have a new generation that is tool illiterate. Most young people don't have any idea how to use a crescent wrench or even a hammer. It's going to affect society. It's such a shame that school systems took away shop classes. Kids graduate from high school now without the ability to read a ruler. If you can't read a ruler, how are you going to measure anything? If you can't measure anything, how can you get a job making anything?
I'm 69, and I always told my kids, "Make sure you have a skill that nobody can take from you." As long as you possess that skill, you'll never have to worry about getting a job. My daughter, Nina, was the only coed in her college with her own toolbox. She ended up fixing a lot of things in her dorm. My son, James, was an English teacher and is now a plumber making more money than he ever thought possible.
Teaching kids trade skills began for me after college. I went to London to visit a friend who was a social worker and wound up staying there 10 years. I made a living as a carpenter. We got involved with some kids from a poorer section of London, and I began by teaching them how to make a kite. Eventually I started teaching them carpentry, and they all wanted to build something for their mothers' gardens. They built trellises and benches, even though they lived in high-rise tenements and didn't have gardens.
John Ratzenberger teaches the kids trades.
Since then I've worked with plenty of kids, especially with Boys & Girls Clubs. At one workshop in Montana, we had planned for four hours, but were there for close to nine. The kids, who had never built anything before, didn't want to leave. When you build something from scratch, and can walk around it and show it off, that's real self-esteem.
About 10 years ago, I cofounded a foundation called Nuts, Bolts & Thingamajigs, and then I handed it over to another organization to run. It sets up summer camps to teach kids how to use tools. If you give kids a skill, they can do cool things.
Civilization was built by people who knew how to do things — people who got up in the morning and did something useful. Our job is to make the next generation self-reliant. You always want them to be smarter than you are.
— As told to Barbranda Lumpkins Walls
Actor-producer John Ratzenberger, 69, is building new shelves in his home — and teaching his two young grandchilden about tools.
Want to help kids learn about building? Here's where you can volunteer:
Boy Scouts of America: Help Boy Scouts snag merit badges for home repairs, plumbing, welding or woodworking. Volunteers must register as adult leaders with the BSA, as well as complete training in youth protection.
Maker Camp: Kids ages 7 to 12 gather to build projects hosted by more than 700 Maker Camp affiliates worldwide. You can apply to launch a camp in your own neighborhood. Approved affiliates will receive digital materials, training and projects.
Nuts, Bolts & Thingamajigs: This group offers summer camps for teens, who learn about careers in manufacturing. You can volunteer to speak about your manufacturing experience or host a tour of your workplace.
Exploring: Skilled trades is one of the 12 career fields of this Boy Scouts of America affiliate program, which provides hands-on learning opportunities for young people ages 14 to 20. You can volunteer to share your expertise and serve as a mentor.

Mothers who are obese or who have diabetes may be more likely to have children with neurodevelopmental disorders, including autism, research suggests.
Children whose mothers were obese were more likely to be diagnosed with an autism spectrum disorder (OR=1.67, 95% CI:1.10-2.56) or other developmental delay (OR=2.08; 95% CI:1.20-3.61) by age 5 years, Paula Krakowiak, MS, a PhD candidate at the MIND Institute at the University of California Davis, and colleagues reported in Pediatrics.
Krakowiak and colleagues enrolled 1,004 children aged 2 to 5 years in the Childhood Autism Risks from Genetics and the Environment (CHARGE) Study between January 2003 and June 2010, including 517 children with an ASD, 172 with a developmental delay and 315 controls with typical development.
Children were evaluated using the Mullen Scales of Early Learning (MSEL) and the Vineland Adaptive Behavior Scales (VABS) to assess cognitive and adaptive development. Mothers had three specific metabolic conditions assessed: obesity, hypertension and diabetes (type 2 or gestational) during pregnancy.
The researchers found that all three metabolic conditions occurred more frequently among the mothers of children with an ASD or other developmental delay. Combined rates for all conditions were 19.4% among mothers of typically developing children, versus 28.6% for mothers of children with an ASD and 34.9% for mothers of children with other developmental delays.
After adjusting for potential confounding factors, mothers with one of the three metabolic conditions were more likely to have a child diagnosed with an ASD (OR=1.61) or developmental delay (OR=2.35).
When the researchers looked at each metabolic condition separately, they found that maternal hypertension alone was not associated with either ASD or developmental delay. Maternal diabetes was associated with developmental delay (OR=2.33), but not ASD; whereas maternal obesity was associated with both conditions.
A "relatively small" association was observed between maternal diabetes and expressive language impairment among children with ASD, the researchers noted, and a wide rage of cognitive and adaptive developmental delays were observed among children without ASDs whose mothers had all three metabolic conditions.
The researchers emphasized that the study data are preliminary and do not prove cause and effect. Study limitations included the self-reported nature of medical conditions and the lack of data on glucose, insulin, lipid and immune biomarker measurements.

Team collaboration is a hot topic in business and leadership circles, for obvious reason. It's the foundation of "workplace culture", a sometimes ambiguous yet very real aspect of our professional lives. We can't always define what culture is, but we know it when we see it. We feel it, good or bad. Even if it's hard to measure or pin down, it's there, everyday. Some organizations even hire someone to be in charge of it.
But, it's not just for knowledge workers in cubicles or at tables in open office environments. Teams exist in every industry, and creative work, in all its forms, is a constant exercise in negotiation, both with new ideas and with the people all around those ideas. It's an imperfect art getting a collection of individuals to bring their unique perspective and skill to a project, yet function, in some way, collectively as a coordinated, intentional entity.
Take, for example, rock bands.
Tucked away at the end of this American Songwriter profile of The National is a look into their creative process and how they attempt to engage and involve all five members of the band in creative dialogue. (Emphasis is mine).
With the National back in the studio together in Hudson without any immediate deadlines or time crunches, the band was able to experiment and create more freely, and more collaboratively, than they had in years.
Devendorf characterizes the band's recording sessions as opportunities for each member of the band, "a five-headed monster," as he puts it, to constantly give each other feedback and advice.
For their most recent sessions, Berninger introduced a few gags to help lighten the mood and foster directness. He instilled "Honesty Hour," when the band would give unfiltered opinions about each other's creative ideas. He also embroidered a knit cap with the word "Producer," and whoever wore the literal "Producer's Hat" would get to make production decisions at that moment. "Matt wore it a lot," says Scott Devendorf. Indeed, Sleep Well Beast marks the first time Berninger receives an individual co-production credit on a National album.
Seven albums and 15-plus years into their career, the National are still finding ways to reinvent and fine-tune the way the band harnesses the talents of all of its individual members to write interesting songs and make lasting records.
This is some straight-out-of-design-school thinking. Interestingly enough, all five members of the band met through the University of Cincinnati's graphic design program in the early 90s.
Turns out, rock bands are just like companies. Some have of alot of turnover and end up being centered around 1 or 2 individuals. Others find a way to keep talented individuals together for years, offering them ways to explore and grow beyond job titles.

We want to keep the Hunting Ban in place. There have been a spate of moral panic stories about urban foxes on the rampage lately. You have to treat these stories with caution as what appears as news is not just perchance as it happens. It is often tailored to fit someone's agenda. The Conservatives want to bring back hunting and they will create hype about fox felonies to win the hearts and minds of the public.
