This entry was posted in Comic Art and tagged Change width Manga Studio Tutorial on December 14, 2009 by Mario.
After sharing with you the first results of my experience with Manga Studio in my previous articles, I think it's time to explain one of my favorite features. You could say that this is going to be my first Manga Studio tutorial.
First let me explain the following image.
I was designing a first draft of Lynn's eyes (I will come back to her in 2010, I guess). Her left eye as you can see in the image above. I love inking with Manga Studio and I love the tools that help me fixing the problems that occur whilst being creative.
The problem I found with this image was that the lines of the eyes were to thin. You know that this will catch your attention at the moment that you are zooming out to see the whole picture. The lines can be so thin that they nearly disappear.
This is annoying and in the first place you would be tempted to draw a thicker line over the thin one. In other words: doing the work twice. For an eye this is not that time consuming, but think about a complete drawing. This can be a s..t load of work. However, for the purpose of this demonstration I took an eye as an example.
As You can see in this little image above you find a tool called Change Width in the toolbar. I marked it with a awkward red arrow to make sure that you find it quick and easily.
If you click on it (and you do click on it) you see the options like in the image above. I can literally see you looking for it and getting confused because you can't find it. Just hit F3 and it will appear, so you don't have to curse. I know how frustrating tutorials can be that end up with users who don't find the described function and stop following the stuff altogether. I'm not an exception on this.
OK, take a look at the options. Under Effect Extension I chose the Polyline. Marked with a red arrow (You know why).
Under Change Width I leave the setting at 0.10 mm. The button beside it indicates with the plus-sign that it will thicken your line work with the setting you have chosen.
…the result is shown in the image above. If I would decide that the line is still too thin I could repeat the process and/or choose another thickness. I think this example shows pretty much how the tool does its work and makes the change fast and easy.
On this last image above you see the result when I did the same process to the other lines around the eye.
Is it just me or do you think as well that the upper eyelid could have been drawn less shaky? You bet it could! Maybe it's time to write a second tutorial on the correction feature of Manga Studio. But for now I have to say good night.
PS: I would love to read your comments or hear from you if you run into a snag. I also like to learn from you when it comes to my English skills, though they seem to get better.


Spontaneously localised excitations may either be pinned to the crystal lattice--known as discrete breathers--or alternatively may travel, and are then referred to as solitons or spontaneous solitary excitation waves. To further clarify the differences between the two types of excitations, the authors developed a computer simulation. They relied on the direct integration of their dynamics (using an approach known as the standard Runge-Kutta methodology), following a strong initial external pulse on a single lattice unit.
The authors focused on the relative influence of the forces leading to these excitations as a result of on-site and inter-site vibrations (corresponding to individual lattice units and relative displacements of units, respectively). Under certain conditions, they found that the discrete breathers evolve into a genuine soliton, moving at supersonic speed within the lattice.
These findings confirm that solitons can be used as natural carriers of energy, matter or electric charge--in the latter case, by transferring the soliton-like motion to the charges, allowing them to 'surf' on the soliton wave. Meanwhile, discrete breathers are natural energy traps for energy and can also be used as electric charge carriers under certain conditions.

Meet 'The Name': Dubai's New Instagrammable Hotspot
Guest Submissions
by Yousha Surjiani
'The Name' opened its doors in the Dubai Design District this year. It has established itself as a "creative hub for people to relax and refuel in a modern and vibrant environment." This means that you can grab a coffee or a bite to eat in a uniquely designed and funky place with a concept store.
he Name features finely crafted interiors and a homestyle outdoor space for al fresco dining. The basic approach allows everyone to imagine their own creative flair, from the café's decor to the colorful Pantone cups and utensils.
The Woman's Guide ME team visited the place recently and experienced all that 'The Name' has to offer.
Hearty Mediterranean-inspired dishes with a Levantine touch are served at the café. Breakfast, lunch, and dinner menu items include smoked pastrami and cheddar sandwiches, as well as freshly baked flat bread with spicy black Angus beef.
There is a large assortment of excellent coffee beans that have been specially sourced. Customers can enjoy their coffee in a variety of colorful Pantone mugs to match their mood. A superfood smoothie is available for health-conscious guests.
Our personal favorite is their classic chicken burger, which has the juiciest meat with a range of specialty sauces and vegetables.
Chocolate peanut butter cake, almond orange pudding, and Rice Krispies chocolate waffles are available for individuals who like something sweeter. We tried the tiramisu, and it was so appetizing that it melted in our mouths.
Showroom and Products
Lexon, Pantone, Pitaka, Korin, Lund London, Gingko Design, Sol, and Hugo Boss are among the eight brands that call The Name home. T-shirts and hoodies (in over 40 colors), Bluetooth speakers, umbrellas, imaginative lights, reusable coffee cups, and water bottles are among the quirky items created.
You can customize any of the things you see there. They can create your initials, a brand, or a logo for you. Their plan is to rename it to 'Your Name' from 'The Name.'
You can even sip your hot beverage from a mug of your choice, as The Name provides a large selection of Pantone-colored cutlery. It's the only place we've found where your clothing can match your cup of coffee.
The owner feels that by merging the concepts of a cafe and a shop, The Name may serve as an outlet and a welcoming area for creative people in the UAE. He describes it as a "hub where you can make your own art."

Environmental clines such as latitude and depth that limit species' distributions may be associated with gradients in habitat suitability that can affect the fitness of an organism. With the global loss of shallow-water photosynthetic coral reefs, mesophotic coral ecosystems (similar to 30-150 m) may be buffered from some environmental stressors, thereby serving as refuges for a range of organisms including mobile obligate reef dwellers. Yet habitat suitability may be diminished at the depth boundary of photosynthetic coral reefs. We assessed the suitability of coral-reef habitats across the majority of the depth distribution of a common demersal reef fish (Stegastes partitus) ranging from shallow shelf (SS, <10 m) and deep shelf (DS, 20-30 m) habitats in the Florida Keys to mesophotic depths (MP, 60-70 m) at Pulley Ridge on the west Florida Shelf. Diet, behavior, and potential energetic trade-offs differed across study sites, but did not always have a monotonic relationship with depth, suggesting that some drivers of habitat suitability are decoupled from depth and may be linked with geographic location or the local environment. Feeding and diet composition differed among depths with the highest consumption of annelids, lowest ingestion of appendicularians, and the lowest gut fullness in DS habitats where predator densities were highest and fish exhibited risk averse behavior that may restrict foraging. Fish in MP environments had a broader diet niche, higher trophic position, and higher muscle C:N ratios compared to shallower environments. High C:N ratios suggest increased tissue lipid content in fish in MP habitats that coincided with higher investment in reproduction based on gonado-somatic index. These results suggest that peripheral MP reefs are suitable habitats for demersal reef fish and may be important refuges for organisms common on declining shallow coral reefs.

OV Homecoming Festival & Craft Fair set for this weekend
Thursday, May 12, 2016 - 10:03am
Coastal Point • File Photo: Kids climb the rock wall that was present during a past Ocean View Homecoming event.This weekend, the Town of Ocean View will host its annual Homecoming Festival & Crafts Fair.
Homecoming will take place on Saturday, May 14, from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. in John West Park. The free event features a wide variety of activities for kids, including a rock wall, inflatables and carnival rides.
"The mayor will open the event with the national anthem before we raise the flag and welcome everyone to the event," said Ocean View Town Manager Dianne Vogel.
Vogel said that, along with a D.J. providing musical entertainment, there would be more than 40 crafters attending this year's festival.
"They're very diverse this year, so we're very excited about that," she said.
Mr. Softee ice cream will be served, while Hocker's BBQ will be on site, selling its foods.
"Hocker's is very excited to be the solo food vendor this year. He will be providing crabcakes, barbecue and many different things that we haven't done in the past."
The event was originally started in the early 1900s, as a way for townspeople to come together and reconnect with those who left town. The event took a sabbatical of sorts in intervening years but returned in 2010 with the help of the Ocean View Historical Society, and is now a Town-organized event.
"The Ocean View Historical Society will be in attendance, with the historic buildings open, and have planned several activities as well," added Vogel.
The event is sponsored by Fulton Bank, Lyons Companies, Morris James Wilson Halbrook & Bayard LLP and the Sussex County Council.
Free shuttle service from parking at Mariner's Bethel, Ocean View Church of Christ and Ocean View Presbyterian churches will be provided to attendees who choose not to walk to the park.
Vogel said the Town hopes the community attends the family-fun event and enjoys the company of their neighbors.
"We hope the sun will be with us this Saturday for Homecoming," she added.

Quarterman: I just didn't realise how cut-throat pro cycling would be
By Daniel Benson
British rider with 'a point to prove' after he was released by Trek-Segafredo

Charlie Quarterman is waiting on a last-minute deal to fall into place as he looks to keep his WorldTour career alive, but after two years at Trek-Segafredo, the 23-year-old has been left frustrated by the manner of his departure from the American team.
Quarterman signed with Trek-Segafredo for 2020 and was seen as one of the most promising young riders on the WorldTour circuit after an impressive 2019 that included a U23 British time trial title, and two top five results at the Baby Giro.
However, the next two years failed to pan out as Quarterman and the team had hoped. The global COVID-19 pandemic truncated the 2020 season into just a matter of weeks and during his first race of 2021, Quarterman suffered a concussion in a heavy crash at Omloop Het Nieuwsblad. By the time he was able to return to anything like his best, the season was almost over, at which point Trek-Segafredo decided to move on.
"I think that I lost my place in Trek mostly due to politics and secrecy, which makes it more complicated to find a new team," Quarterman told Cyclingnews in a phone interview.
"There's always lots of stuff going on in the background and as a rider you only hear about 20 per cent of the story, I think. Maybe what I think is secrecy and politics is a lack of communication but either way, there's more to it."

While Quarterman readily admits that he learned a huge amount in the last two years and that he would have happily re-signed with Trek-Segafredo on new terms, the main issue comes down to a lack of clarity when it comes to his departure from the team.
The American outfit has tried to revamp their team in recent years with a string of younger signings but Quarterman expected a greater degree of loyalty.
"With Trek I'm still not sure on the reasons as to why I wasn't renewed. I've been told that the development just didn't come fast enough and that there were market forces with too many young riders that they wanted to sign.
"So I've been pushed out, after two years with quite a lot of stuff happening, but also after two years of loyalty. I'm surprised by their decision. I think that there's more to the story. It's a shame to be leaving the set-up because I would have been very happy to re-sign and build. It was a good environment for that."
Despite the difficult 2020 debut season, and the injuries, he sustained earlier in the year, Quarterman was still expecting a contract extension from Trek-Segafredo and pointed to his value as a domestique within the team.
"Everyone plays the game and managers are always saying I'll give you a response next week or I need to check a few things out first. Everyone is thinking that they might get a better option so they're hesitant to say what the real situation is. It's why looking for a team can take such a long time," he explained.
"I wasn't expecting an upgrade but with last year being hit by COVID-19 and everything compressed, and then this year, starting with the concussion and having two months off after my first race, I just didn't realise how cut-throat it would be. I thought they'd give me another year to show what I have but pro cycling and sport can be like that and there's nothing you can do.
"Unless you do a job that's recognisable on the television and you get recognition for it like a Tim Declercq then it's only between your teammates that it's noticed. Relying on the gratefulness of a professional sports team isn't always the most reliable thing."
When asked if he would have done anything differently during his time at Trek-Segafredo, the British rider paused before providing a detailed and honest answer.
He pinpointed that he could have been more selfish at times and that he could have ridden for himself rather than supporting the team's ambitions.
"The fact that I'm not sure where I've gone wrong makes it difficult to answer really," he said.
"I think I'd have gone straight into panic mode right after I started racing again. But at the same time, I was coming back from a concussion, and you can't really rush these things.
"I don't think that there's a huge amount I could have done other than taking more opportunities and being confident in myself from an early stage. It was only from around September before I jumped at chances if the leader wasn't feeling great. Before then I was waiting more and helping whoever I was told to help. I think that's part of being a teammate though."
The last few months have certainly taken a toll on the rider's spirits but he is entirely determined to carry on with his racing career. There is a contract option from another team on the table but it requires sign-off from a sponsor in order for the deal to be ratified.
At this point in the season, Quarterman is itching to get his future sorted.
"It's been such a long few months actually," he said. "Trying to be in the best shape possible while watching my phone all day, every day, and waiting for a message that says I can relax and focus on my riding. It's been quite tiring.
"I definitely have a point to prove. The last couple of months have made me realise that no matter what team I'm at next year I still have a lot to prove. I've seen a lot of development in the last two years with the work I've done for other people and with how the racing has gone. I just need to force myself to get into situations where I can show it. I'm determined to fight back."

Everyone in South Africa should consider where they can save water and actively contribute to reducing water shortages by considering rain water tanks for rainwater harvesting as well as other water conservation systems. Depending on the area, size of roof and rainfall, rain water tanks could supply a household's entire water needs.
We could run out of clean water if South Africans do not work to conserve it, said Water Affairs Minister Edna Molewa.
"If we continue with this trend of using water as if it is an infinite resource, we may find ourselves in some form of trouble," she said at a New Age breakfast briefing.
She said that water shortages are a possibility if South Africans do not help to prevent it.
"We are, however, confident… because our water strategy and our plans for the future are all geared towards sustainability and security of supply," Molewa said.
She said the Department of Water Affairs was dealing successfully with the problem of Acid Mine Drainage (AMD) in the Witwatersrand area, Gauteng.
"The cynics have previously told us that Johannesburg will drown in a sea of mine water and that government is folding its arms while the future of the people of Gauteng hangs in the balance," Molewa said.
She said the department had successfully stopped the "uncontrolled decant" of Acid Mine Drainage in the western basin.
"We are currently busy with the second phase of upgrading the Rand Uranium plant which will further increase the capacity to treat AMD in that basin," Molewa said.
Acid Mine Drainage is the flow, or seepage, of polluted water from old gold mining areas.
Depending on the area, the water often contains toxic heavy metals and radioactive particles, or is acidic. Contact with it can affect the health of humans, fauna and flora.
Molewa said infrastructure development remained vital part of the government's plan.
"As Water Affairs, we have conducted a study from which a wide infrastructure plan has been developed," she said.
She called on the private sector to invest in the plan.


I remember a time, when as a young man, I was staying in India. I can't even remember which city I was in when a friend remarked: "wow, it looks like a sea of people." This was over thirty years ago, yet India was a crowded place then, beggars were sleeping in the streets to such an extent that there was no room on the pavements and many were sleeping between two lines of traffic in the road. Indian society was very polarised and poverty was rife (still is). I remember seeing men, women and children living in the streets while rotting with disease; but now the population is booming, getting even more out of control.
Things aren't looking too good for the Third World generally, but the way things are going, this is the future of our children too. By 2050 the world population is expected to reach nearly ten billion, nearly all of this growth is expected in the Third World; an extra three billion people in thirty-four years.
Many immigrants that I have spoken to, from places like India are just desperate to get away and come to the West for a better life. But how many immigrants can we absorb? The invasion that is happening in Europe at the moment is just the tip of the iceberg. You can see from the above chart that if we were to allow another billion migrants into the UK and Europe, the population of the Third World would still be out of control. In spite of the rantings of so many deluded do-gooders, we can't even begin to help the Third World by allowing ourselves to be dragged down to their level. It is interesting that the above projections (from reputable sources) were made before the migrant crisis started; the reality is likely to be very different because of this. The flood of migrants into Europe will turn, if not stopped, into a Tsunami.
The world's scarce resources are getting scarcer and will not be sufficient for such a booming world population. This scarcity is inevitably going to lead to conflict in the world, but it's not a battle we needed to fight on our own streets, as will now happen.
With the migrant crisis, thousands of Jihadis are known to have been allowed into Europe. I look outside of the controlled mainstream media for information and I am disturbed by how many very large arms seizures have been made in Southern Europe. It appears that now Europe is full of military age men from the Middle East, the weapons are starting to appear too. Time will tell, but I believe that the terrorist attacks that we've suffered recently are just a warm up exercise: future attacks will be far more extreme.
Given Angela Merkel and the European Union's determination to Islamise Europe, perhaps we should call it the European Islamic Union (EIU). The EIU has not only failed to defend its and our borders, it seems to have actively encouraged this migrant invasion, an invasion that will soon turn into a very dangerous Tsunami. The United Kingdom may not be part of the Schengen agreement, but you would have to be extremely naïve if you believed, that we would be able to resist further immigration if we vote to remain within the EIU. It won't be long before Germany's migrants have German passports and will be able to walk into the UK anyway.
We are in grave danger of being consumed by the Third World. I have always been keen for us to help develop the Third World, but allowing it to drag us down with it will solve nothing, our first duty is to ourselves. There was a time when we could carry the weight of half of the world on our shoulders but those days are long gone; we need to worry about our own survival. The Third World is a place where it is common for children to be maimed in order to provide them with promising careers as beggars or daughters sold into prostitution: is this what you want for our children?
The European Union, or should I say EIU, is a ruthless Totalitarian organisation in the making, it feigns altruistic intent, but in reality it is about power and control. The EIU cares not about our culture and way of life, that has taken centuries of struggle and innovation to develop, we have seen it throw whole countries to the wolves in pursuit of its objectives.
The world as a whole is going to face some very difficult times and we need to survive within it, in order to do this, it is vitally important that we regain control of our borders: we can't do this as part of the EIU. The future I have painted here may seem bleak and violent, but all of my information is available from many sources and is verifiable. When you can look beyond all of the deceit, lies, rhetoric and propaganda; this is the reality that we face, all summed up with a few simple numbers.
We will fight the first battle in the coming conflict on June the 23rd, it is a chance we must not miss to leave the EIU, probably our last chance.

Hyperbolic Reflex? Not the Right Angle.
Thank you for a very interesting article; I fully support your concerns – and was familiar with the gumball video which illustrates the problem so clearly – when we consider that the populations of countries in the Middle East have mushroomed from a manageable size to 4- or 5-fold of what they were in the 1950s (Syria for example from 4 million to now around 18 million) in lands that because of their aridity and the instability of their culture, due to its lack of industrialisation until relatively late (and this is mirrored elsewhere) have leapt into the pleasures of the hi-tech world without learning any of the lessons of industrialisation, have benefited from investment in their natural resources and milked profits fuelling rapid but unsustainable growth, follow creeds that advocate expansionism and supremacism, without any of the concomitant rationalism and love of reform or respect for individual differences, you are left with a truly appalling prospect; out-of-control population growth tied to a financial mechanism based on quick profits; where there is no recipe for the longer-term evolution of the people or protection of their land assets but magical belief in the possibilities of the modern age as if they came from nowhere and that are deserved as a right. I fear so much for the future generations; these islands need to be protected from the catastrophe that is on the horizon.
The Commonwealth did this. It conferred respect and freedoms onto the peoples of the lands it covered combined with measured advances and sensible education. It was brought down by the growing tide of International Socialism and the cabal of globalist collectivism, two ugly bedfellows that the Fabians like HG Wells predicted would usher in by these two high-road and low-road elitist channels, a "New Global Republic" based on enlightened thinking by scientific elites, resisted by the middle classes but swept away by necessity to have a "Utopia".
Our politicians actually Believe this kind of rubbish. They actually believe that utopian planning on a global scale can achieve harmony and shared wealth, when the evidence is everywhere that it brings only corruption, war, the eradication of freedoms, the destruction of indigenous cultures (like ours) and the annihilation of the lessons of the past by indoctrination. They are creating a neo-feudal system where their "dream" is only workable through totalitarianism and people treated as slaves.
Well said. It's too depressing for words isn't it. There's not much hope for the people of many of these countries: it"s just a case of whether we allow them to drag us down with them. We're not the ones doing the breeding, so it's hardly our responsibility.
Sometime relatively soon the credit bubble will burst and that will be the end of forty years of credit induced growth in the West. I fail to see how we're going to support ourselves, let alone millions of unemployable immigrants. I hate to be so doom laden, but that's the reality. We're being governed by maniacs! The EU will be the death of us, fingers crossed for an out vote before there really is blood on the streets.


For new parents, welcoming a child into the world is a celebration of new life. We do all we can to provide financial protection for our children as long as we can. As parents we opt to purchase life insurance policies on ourselves, so that our children are financially supported in the event we die. Another way to provide financial protection for our children is with a Juvenile Life Insurance plan. A juvenile life insurance policy is permanent life insurance that accumulates Cash Value and is offered to infants and young children; the child is the insured. In addition to insuring the life of the child, the plan serves as a lifelong financial planning tool and the Cash Value serves as a savings vehicle for the child. Allow us to share how this plan provides financial protection for your child.
Ensuring their future insurability: Age and health factors determine life insurance premium; the younger and healthier an applicant is, the lower the premium. For healthy children, this is the period of their life when they will be offered the lowest premium. If a child develops an illness later in life, he or she may not be insurable, or will have to pay exorbitant rates to obtain coverage. For that child with an existing Juvenile Life policy, if a change in their health profile were to occur, the coverage and premium rates on the Juvenile policy would not be affected. By the time he or she gets married and starts a family, there will be a meaningful amount of coverage in place from that Juvenile policy.
Guaranteed Increase of Death Benefit: Another great feature of this type of policy is the option to increase the death benefit with a special rider. This rider, known by some carriers as the Guaranteed Insurability Rider, allows the insured, in the future, to increase the death benefit without being subjected to a medical exam. This rider can be added for a minimal fee.
Parents have complete control over this asset: The Juvenile Life insurance policy is often owned by a parent, so the child has no access to the cash value. The parent, as the owner, can choose to gift the policy to the child by transferring ownership to that child.
Great teaching tool for children to develop good savings habits: If the parent decides to transfer ownership to the child, the parent can continue paying the premiums or have the child take on the responsibility of making the payments. This policy becomes a fantastic tool to teach the value of savings. For example, a 25 year old male that starts paying the $50/month premium on his $100,000 life policy that was started in his birth year, could see his cash value grow by $1,300/year!** In the same example, the death benefit could have also doubled to $200,000 by the time he reaches age 38 which places him in a financially secure position for a future family. There's nothing like seeing your money grow, to incentivize someone to develop a life-long habit of consistent savings!
Accumulating Cash Value: Juvenile life insurance is written as a Cash Value Whole Life policy that accumulates cash value over time. In addition to providing a death benefit, the accumulated cash value can be accessed without restriction. This is helpful for funding the child's college education, or even as down payment on their first apartment.
If you are about to have a new addition to your family or have a young child and would like to find out more about this coverage please contact us. Remember, this is a great way to secure your child's financial future, and it is a useful tool to help your child learn money management.

Do you dream of having your YouTube channel? Or do you already have it but want to improve its appearance?
Besides being the second most important platform on the Internet, after Facebook, with more than a billion users, YouTube is also the second most important search engine after Google.
"We have seen the evolution, of how the audience stopped being a massive viewer to becoming the protagonist of the content they want to see. YouTube is the people's television, made by the very people and available throughout the world", said Alberto Ciurana, during his presentation "The Future of Television" at the "Imaginativa Conference – La Semana de la Televisión" celebrated last November, in the Dominican Republic.
This is the first of many tips I will be sharing, on how to improve your content and optimize your social networks, including your YouTube channel. In this first article, let's start optimizing the branding aspects of your YouTube channel.
First of all…What's the difference between the icon and the channel art? Let's use one of my favorite YouTube channels as an example, FLAMA.
Learn how to edit your icon and channel art with this YouTube tutorial!
What aspects do you need to consider when choosing the icon of your channel?
The picture format must be JPG, GIF or PNG.
It is recommended to use a picture of 800 x 800 pixels.
Pay attention to details, taking into account that it should be seen clearly from the distance.
Remember that the picture in your icon is visible in both your channel's homepage and in all of your videos. Also, it is linked to the profile picture you have on your Google+ account.
Consider these other aspects for the channel art!
Remember that the channel art will be used on all platforms and will look different according to the device (desktop, mobile devices and TV screens).
To obtain the best results on all your devices, it is recommendable to upload just one 2560 x 1440 picture.
Minimum width: 2048 x 1152 pixels. This is the "safe area," where text and logos are guaranteed not to be cut off when displayed on different devices.
Maximum width: 2560 x 423 pixels. This means that the "safe area" is always visible; the areas to each side of the channel art are visible depending on the viewer's browser size.
Can I recommend a tool?
When designing, not only for YouTube but all social media outlets, I love to use the Canva application. This tool is available f0r use in your computer and in the recently released mobile version. Check out this link, where you'll be able to find countless templates for your YouTube channel, that you can download and customize to your taste.
Finally, I want to share some examples with you for reference. These brands and YouTubers have done an excellent job with their YouTube channel's branding. Look at their icons and channel art!
Do you have a question about YouTube? Do you have a channel you would like to share with us? Leave it in the comments!
Great post Alex. I also am a lover of Canva for so many things. Definitely sharing this.
This is a very good piece of info to create my youtube blogging channel. Thanks for taking the time to share!
This is really useful. I don't post a lot on YouTube but a logo would definitely be a plus.
Thanks, that helps a lot, Youtube channel art is one of the most important part of your channel. No doubt!


In 1981, Forbes editor Jim Michaels called associate editor Harold Seneker into his office. "It was a Friday afternoon," Seneker recalls. "The time reserved for firing people." What he heard instead was arguably worse. His next assignment was an idea that came from Malcolm Forbes himself: Compile a ranking of the wealthiest people in America, the first-ever Forbes 400 (a nod to Caroline Astor's fabled ballroom, which could fit only 400 swells).
Most staff members didn't think it was possible to do such definitive calculations. Granted, you could get public holdings from the Securities and Exchange Commission. But what about private businesses? Homes, yachts, art collections? Michaels told Seneker to do his best.
Next came the interviews with potential Forbes 400 members themselves. Most preferred not to be listed, and some simply hung up on reporters, but others were eager to talk about themselves or—more often—about everyone else. Subjects might not confirm their own holdings, but they were happy to sell out a competitor's silent partners.
A select few even lobbied for a lower or higher spot on the list. These days you have to be worth $1.7 billion to land on The Forbes 400, but back then it was a mere $100 million. One mogul caught wind of that figure and pleaded that he was surely worth less. It was almost convincing—until he agreed to sell a portion of his massive ranch for $500 million. And, Greenberg recalls, in a failed bid for a higher ranking, Donald Trump faked phone calls from his father and a buyer interested in one of his buildings during a meeting.

Giving the Gift of Safety
We've all been there; in a situation that makes you feel just a little bit uneasy. Sometimes it's walking to your front door at night — darkness can play some scary tricks on you. Other times it's in bright daylight, when that stranger walking toward you gives you an unwarranted stare that throws your sense of comfort a little out of whack.
Well, "About Us" is really about you. It's all about your education, safety and peace of mind; things that every young girl and woman should have and hold dearly. T.A.K.E. Defense Training provides girls and women of all ages with unique reality-based, hands-on self-defense training. Such training provides safety awareness that everyone needs and deserves.
Your T.A.K.E. training, an integral element in the comprehensive safety awareness program, will take place in a two-hour session held at various facilities. When you attend a class, you'll receive priceless awareness education and practical application of the skills demonstrated and learned in the session. We will also cover internet safety, community safety, home safety, safe travel and much more. It's our goal to give you the advantage if you're ever in a situation that makes you question your safety.
So whether you're in search of that advantage to feel in control of everyday situations, or you want to make sure a bad experience is never repeated, take part in T.A.K.E Defense Training. Power: You have it in you.
A Name That Says It All
The name Alexandra means helper of mankind or compassionate one. And Alexandra Kemp — Ali to everyone who knew her — was all of that and more. A stunning 19-year-old girl inside and out, Ali was murdered while working at a neighborhood pool in Johnson County, Kansas.
Ali is still living up to her name. Through the T.A.K.E. Defense Training program established in her memory, her story has inspired and encouraged women all over the country to take a stand. She has given them the power to stand up for themselves.
Ali truly was a shining star of her generation. Excelling as an honor student at both Blue Valley North High School and Kansas State University, she was involved in many other activities. Soccer, volleyball and basketball satisfied her thirst for athletic competition. Ali exemplified selflessness as a caring volunteer, giving her time and talents generously to her church, community and at Kansas State University, where she had just finished her freshman year as a member of Pi Beta Phi sorority.
Most importantly, though, Ali made the most of a life taken far too soon. She excelled in life as an astonishing person, daughter, sister and friend to everyone she met. In a special testimony to her life, over 1,400 of Ali's friends and family members came to her funeral. And she has touched, and will continue to touch, thousands of other women who have been impacted by her story and life. While she will always be missed, Ali will forever be a compassionate helper of mankind.
A bright future. A heart to care and help. A smile to melt worry away. All of these were taken away from Roger and Kathy Kemp when their daughter, Ali, was murdered.
So what did they do to fight back? They created a program to forever carry on Ali's legacy and ensure that what happened to her doesn't happen to another. The program is called T.A.K.E. Defense, an acronym for The Ali Kemp Educational Foundation.
T.A.K.E. Defense was established in 2005 by the Kemp family in partnership with Johnson County Park and Recreation District and in cooperation with Blue Valley Recreation Commission and Leawood Park and Recreation. Over 70,000 girls and women ages 12 and older have been trained with free hands-on self-defense training. T.A.K.E. Defense carries its message and training across the United States each year to colleges and universities. Examples of universities include Kansas University, University of Missouri, Kansas State University, University of Miami, Vanderbilt University, Southern Methodist University, Texas Christian University, University of Wisconsin and more. T.A.K.E. Defense Training has been featured on America's Most Wanted, ABC's "20/20" and CBS Prime Time along with numerous local and regional news casts. Our goal is clear, as said by Mr. Kemp at each program, "If we can save one life out there, I don't care what it costs; this whole program will be worth it."
So join the thousands of women who have experienced T.A.K.E. Defense Training, and experience the empowerment of personal protection.
Roger Kemp, Ali's FatherPresident, The Ali Kemp Educational Foundation
Roger Kemp passed away March 1st, 2022 leaving a Legacy of perseverance, a deep commitment to his family and community saving the lives of tens of thousands of girls and women through his work. He will long be remembered for his strong work ethic, innovative entrepreneurship, and his passion for justice. He led with a kind demeanor and a strength to not be denied. He worked tirelessly to bring his daughter's murderer to justice, and it was through this pursuit that he, alongside LAMAR Advertising, created a billboard campaign which focused upon finding her murderer. This initiative prompted law enforcement agencies, both locally and on a national scale, to adopt the same concept which resulted in the apprehension of hundreds of murderers. The Kemp's founded The Ali Kemp Educational Foundation and fostered the creation of the critically acclaimed T.A.K.E. Defense Program. Throughout the past 20 years, the foundation and the self-defense program have worked in conjunction to successfully train over 70,000 girls and women across the United States ranging in age from 12 to 90 years. Roger is a past board member of the Ad Hoc Commission Against Crime, as well as a past committee member of three (3) administrations of the Kansas Attorney General's Office who reviewed and awarded grants to shelters and homes for victims of abuse. Roger was nominated by the two U.S. Senators from Kansas for the Presidential Citizen's Medal. In a slate of over 6,000 nominees from across the United States he was one of only thirteen Americans chosen to receive the medal and to be honored at the White House. The Presidential Citizen's Medal is one of the highest civilian awards given by the President solidifying him in history as a true national treasure. John Walsh, formerly of America's Most Wanted, had this to say about the Kemps in the forward of the book Ali Was Here: Kathy and Roger didn't let Ali's killer claim another victim. They took their hurt and anger and turned it into something positive and helpful to others. Roger's faith in the American justice system; his belief that 99 percent of the world is good, his powerful love for his daughter Ali and sons Tyler and Drew and his deep dedication to wife Kathy drove him every day, fighting the good fight, to make our world a better place. Roger founded the Ali Kemp Educational Foundation with the mantra that "I don't care what it cost to do this program, if we save one life out there it's worth it".

12 Facts About View Of Delft By Johannes Vermeer
November 22, 2021 September 16, 2020 by Art-Facts
It's one of the most popular paintings by one of the most famous Dutch painters of all time, and in this post, you'll discover the ultimate list of facts about View of Delft by Johannes Vermeer.
1. It's one of his larger paintings
Johannes Vermeer was known to be a very meticulous painter who worked very slow. This resulted in the fact that he only created a few paintings every year.
His eye for detail, especially when it comes to lighting, is virtually unmatched, so enormous paintings can't be found in his oeuvre. A View of Delft by Johannes Vermeer has dimensions of 96.5 × 115.7 centimeters (38.0 × 45.6 inches), which makes it one of his larger paintings.
To give some reference, his largest painting is called "The Art of Painting" and has dimensions of 120 × 100 centimeters (47 × 39 inches), which is just slightly larger than this one.
2. It depicts his hometown from across a river
Delft was the hometown of Vermeer and the painting depicts the view over this city in the 17th century. One of the most remarkable facts about View of Delft by Johannes Vermeer is that it was painted in a period that cityscapes were not that popular.
If you look at just about all of his other paintings, they usually depict domestic scenes or so-called "tronies," faces of people such as his most famous painting "Girl with a Pearl Earring."
3. It was painted from an elevated position
The painting was created from an elevated area, looking down on the quayside of the River Schie. This means that he probably set up his easel on the second floor of a building located in this area.
Apart from the prominent churches, not many buildings in the foreground still stand as you can see from a picture taken in about the same location that the people on the quay are walking in the painting.

4. It's 1 of his 3 paintings of Delft
Another one of those remarkable facts about View of Delft by Johannes Vermeer is that it's only 1 of 3 paintings of his hometown that he ever created!
The second one is called "The Little Street" and is now located in the Rijksmuseum in Amsterdam, while the third is called "House Standing in Delft," but has been lost through the centuries.

5. It depicts a scene in the morning
It's uncertain when exactly the painting was created. Most historians agree that it was painted between 1659 and 1660 and that it was painted after "The Little Street" because of his use of pointillism in the work.
What is certain is that it depicts a scene in the morning, mainly because we can see that the lighting reflects from the southeast, considering that the view is facing towards the north.
What makes this clear is the reflection of the light on the buildings on the right side of the painting.

6. One element in the painting gives away an approximate date
So how can we be so sure that the painting was created between 1959 and 1660?
One of the main reasons is the absence of the bells in the belfry of the Protestant "Nieuwe Kerk" ("New Church"). These bells were placed in the year 1660, so this suggests that the painting was created before this construction.

7. Did researchers from Texas State University uncover the mystery?
In July 2020, researchers from the Texas State University conducted thorough research on the painting to discover the exact date it was created.
Armed with Google Earth and astronomical information from the 17ty century, they traveled to Delft and studied the exact location that the painting was created.
They found out that the only astronomical possibility of the lighting, in combination with the leaves on the trees, was September 3, 1659 (or an earlier year).
They also discovered that the time on the hand of a clock of one of the buildings in the painting suggests a time near 8 a.m in the morning, which is consistent with what historians have always assumed.
This pretty much solves the mystery!
The clock points toward 8 a.m. / Wiki Commons
8. The church where William the Silent was buried is in the painting
One of the most famous people in Dutch history is referred to as "William the Silent," but in the Netherlands, this man is best known as "Willem van Oranje" (Willem of Orange).
He was the main figure in the revolt against the Spanish which started the 80 years' War, a period that would eventually lead to the so-called Dutch Golden Age.
Willem of Orange is buried in the "Nieuwe Kerk" ("New Church") which is depicted right to the center of the painting.

9. It also depicts a church with a crooked tower
Less prominent is a church that is even older than the Nieuwe Kerk, fittingly referred to as the "Oude Kerk ("Old Church"). This church's tower can be found on the left side of the painting, behind the tower of a now-demolished building.
What's remarkable about this church is the fact that its tower actually leans about 2 meters from the vertical, but isn't visible enough in the painting to be clear.

10. It's possible that Vermeer used an optical device to paint View Of Delft
It has been suggested by many art historians that Johannes Vermeer used a visual aid such as a camera obscura to paint the domestic scenes.
To capture the details of View of Delft, it's likely that he used a similar device or even a telescope.
11. His painting technique is what makes this a masterpiece
One of the most fascinating facts about View of Delft by Vermeer is that he didn't use an extensive variety of pigments for this painting. He mainly used calcite, lead white, yellow ochre, natural ultramarine, and madder lake.
What makes this such a masterpiece is his meticulous eye for detail when painting. Research has shown that he even mixed some grains of salt to create a certain texture to match the real scene.
12. The painting is located at the Mauritshuis in The Hague
So where can you admire View of Delft?
Little is known about the painting after Johannes Vermeer passed away but it's assumed that it as in the collection of Jacob Dissius. It was auctioned in 1822 and sold for 2,900 guilders to the Dutch Royal Cabinet of Paintings, which was established at the Mauritshuis in The Hague.
Up until today, the painting has been in the collection of this museum!

Structure of the Cube
In the Content Branch Graph I have a 3-dimentional Array of Transform Groups into this Transform Groups I have a 3-dimentional Array of Stones. The Stone-class I have create on myself. It draws a square wiht a Quad Array.
At the moment I select the stones based on the array of the Transform Group. Afer the rotation I reorder the Transform Group into the array.
Here is what I've done so far :
void rotateWhiteFace()
{
    Transform3D rotate = new Transform3D();
    rotate.rotZ(Math.toRadians(angel2));
    for (int x = 0; x < stoneTransform.length; x++)
        for (int y = 0; y < stoneTransform.length; y++) {
            stoneTransform[x][y][2].setTransform(rotate);

Family atmosphere fuels Hawks' success
January 15, 2019 - Sports, Swimming - Tagged: Hawks, Swimming, Woodland - no comments
by Kyle Brennan, Citizen's News
BEACON FALLS — Greg Aldrich has been through the highs and lows of the boys swimming program at Woodland over the last four years. Now, starring in his senior season, he can't believe the way the Hawks have swum so far this winter.
"I'm a little surprised how well we're doing this year," said Aldrich, who's led Woodland to a 4-1 start and a 4-0 mark in the Naugatuck Valley League. "I knew we'd be good because we had a lot of freshmen, but we're doing really well. It feels like every year I've been here, we keep growing. We keep having more opportunities to put more guys in different events."
The sizable roster — more than two dozen for the first time in coach Tom Currier's tenure — has even posed a problem for the coaching staff, albeit a good one.
"I'm sitting doing lineups with (assistant coach Mike) Magas, and it's hard because we have a lot of good kids," Currier said. "You definitely have more options. You can allow your big guns to try different stuff. It's good for them so they don't get bored mentally and physically. When you do the same thing two times a week, you don't see much change. When you can do something different, you see bigger drops (in times) and it fuels the fire."
Aldrich has been the star for the Hawks in the pool so far this winter. In a Jan. 8 victory over Crosby-Waterbury Career, Aldrich won the 100- and 200-yard freestyle events and also swam on the winning 200 free relay squad. It wasn't the first time this season that Aldrich has been part of three victories in a single meet.
"I feel really good," Aldrich said. "I swam in the offseason for the first time this year and it's paying off. I've dropped my times a lot, even from my tapered times last year."
Aldrich hasn't been the only standout in the pool. Riley Clark, the two-time defending NVL diving champion, is breezing through his dual-meet competition. Jeff Varesio has returned from an illness and Currier said he expects Varesio's sprinting to improve. In Varesio's absence, sophomore Noah Scott picked up the slack in the sprints.
"Noah Scott is sprinting like a champ," Currier said.
Currier also pointed to the efforts of sophomores Pat Zieba and Cameron Heeman as well as freshmen Tyler McDowell, Tyler Cyr and Jake Arisian.
In the Hawks' 97-65 win over Crosby-WCA, Varesio claimed the 200 IM, Arisian took the 100 butterfly, and Jackson Bradley won the 100 backstroke. Woodland also claimed two relays: the 200 medley (Zieba, Ryan Curtin, Zack Arisian, Joe Flaherty) and the 200 free (Aldrich, Zack Arisian, Scott, Aiden Kennedy).
The Hawks followed that meet up with a 94-68 win over Kennedy last Friday. Aldrich (200 freestyle, 100 freestyle), Jake Arisian (200 IM), Varesio (50 freestyle), Zac Arisian (100 butterfly), DJ Mulligan (diving) and Aiden Kennedy (500 freestyle) all won individual events.
Aldrich thinks part of the reason the Hawks have been so successful in the early part of the season has been the atmosphere in which the team practices and competes.
"I've done other sports and clubs at this school, and this feels like more of a family," Aldrich said. "We don't just hang out at practice; we hang out outside of it. I don't really know how to explain it, but it feels like my second family."
Woodland will visiting Seymour on Tuesday before hosting Sacred Heart on Friday.
Editor's note: This article has been updated from the version published in the Jan. 17 edition of the Citizen's News to include information from meets swam played after press time.


To accurately describe the Frankfurt Book Fair, one word cannot be avoided: "overwhelming." The numbers alone are daunting: nine show halls, more than 7000 exhibitors, publishers from 100 countries, and a stunning average of 280,000 attendees. Historically, Foreword's booth has been across from Random House, assuring fantastic traffic. The following books will be on display: Albatross: Birds of Flight – Book One, The Prince: Lucifer's Origins, Future Prometheus: The Series, Intelligent Design: Revelations to Apocalypse, and Time is for Dragonflies and Angels.


Because I don't Google stuff and don't have a law degree. If you are acquitted of a murder charge, then admit you did it, does that count as double jeopardy? Or is your admission considered new evidence that can be brought in a second trial against you?
it's double jeopardy. new evidence only matters if you were convicted.
The state can't charge him again. Someone correct me if I'm wrong, but I think he could be charged on the federal level. (No chance of that actually happening.) However, it would take a federal level offense. If someone else committed the murder and had completely solid proof that OJ hired them to do it, they could get him for that.


Pokemon: Sun & Moon: Ultra Adventures Episode 12 English Dubbed English dub streaming online. The Professors' New Adventure! (Thank You, Solgaleo! You are Our Hoshigumo!!) Now that Lusamine has been rescued and the threat from Ultra Space has been removed, it's time to celebrate. However, Ash doesn't feel like celebrating because immediately after their return Solgaleo mysteriously disappeared. After a very heart-to-heart talk, Professors Kukui and Burnet have something very important to tell Ash... something that delights not only him but all the others (especially the girls!). The spreading of the good news causes various reactions among the Alolan grown-ups as well. That night, Gladion tells Ash that he is leaving to go on an Island Pilgrimage in order to grow stronger. The next day, Professor Kukui is unceremoniously awakened to a stunning surprise - a beach-side wedding prepared and attended by everyone and presided over by Principal Oak! The lady who actually catches the bride's bouquet is a total surprise, and Ash is finally able to say thank you and goodbye to Solgaleo.

Q: MS Access Subform HWnd Reference Iam building a basic database for a friend oriented to have a simple and intuitive GUI.
For this purpose I have a main form with a Tab control in which each page has two subform controls.
In the first subform a single form with buttons is loaded to serve as a sidebar while in the second subform loads a requested continuous form or report.
I have noticed that when I load a report to the second subform and apply a filter to it I cannot reference functions that reside within the single form that serves as a sidebar.
This is reflected also to a textbox control on the sidebar included for search purposes that loses its value in the time the filter is applied.
What I have managed to track down is that when the filter is applied to the subreport the subform control with the sidebar Hwnd property changes.
Any ideas why this happens ?

There's not even been an Indian Summer. When they flip the switch they really flip the switch these days. We went straight from 80's plus to the teens. We warmed up a bit before Christmas but that was after a near blizzard on the first of December. I really thought I was shut out of the cornfield until spring.
Last spring we came out of winter into summer quite the same way we exited summer. Like they flipped a switch somewhere and presto chango we were warm. They're going to have to do a little better job of camouflage or the plebs will catch on. DJ will call it a national emergency …….
I heard the talking heads say that we could be in for an unprecedented seventh year of record crop yields. I say it's not unprecedented. I say it happened long ago. Back then the Lord sent signs and saw to it someone could interpret those signs. Oh, Joe where are you now?
It's cold but it's January. 'Sno denying.
See ya then, see ya there.
Missed it by that much. The undone corn run. Ground to a halt by the December storm. Snow. Concrete like. Stucco like. Fuckoed like. After maybe an inch of rain on top of a few quick hard inches of wet thick sticky snow. Freezing rain. On muddy ground fell a large deposit of more wet heavy sticky blowing and wind driven snow. Then a week of below freezing temperatures. That's how much I missed it by on that last hundred plus acres of what's been a good corn run. As corn runs go.
Moved on to the fourth. It's all corn. Then there's only the fifth. It's all corn too.

Victoria secret has a quite a range of some of the most amazing fragrances in the world it's a house of beauty where women of all ages can make them look alike Victoria secret models. Victoria secret basic purpose is to make women happy by providing them with the most amazing products it's all about beauty from inside to outside. Women feel confidence after wearing their products.
They have quite a good range of lovely mists especially from their fantasies garden collection range which is quite famous I myself thought of giving a try to the most raved Pure Seduction Mist.
I was quite excited when I received it for the first time and was wondering it won't cost me much so let's see if its serves the purpose fingers crossed.
As soon as I opened the packing and press the bottle an amazing, strangely yummy, feels to be addictive, refreshing, sensual smell with warm notes strike my brain and I was like Ahhh! What I have just smelled is it real?
Then I again press the bottle to make sure what I smell was right and again the feeling was really tempting.
It's pretty hard to explain this smell, to me it smells like fresh strawberries and some other barriers from the heaven crushed which have a musky hint to it. Something out of the world it's kind of classy, that uplifts the mood, sweet totally made for women. Not very mature smell, teenagers can also wear it.
-250 ml bottle is a great quantity in just dollar 14 or you can even buy on deals and offers.
-Staying power could be the issue. Stays for a while on skin however stay for more than 24 hour if sprayed on clothings.
Again I like to recommend you ROUGE for all sorts of Victoria Secret Shopping.
I suggest you spray it first on your skin then on your outfit, it will do the layering. It's not always necessary to use other products of the same range if your don't have them then I suggest the above tip will work for you the best.

Secret Origin!
Posted on April 25, 2020 September 2, 2019 by spiderdewey
A cover that'll make you go "…Is that Taskmaster? Why is his face… like that? Is it him?" Anyway, the cops are at Peter Parker's place to investigate Mary Jane's disappearance, and they're lead by Sgt. Michael Tork, for some reason. Tork's a "play by his own rules," "loose cannon," "other cliches" tough guy cop who's appeared in a lot of places around the Marvel U (Including earlier issues of ASM), and doesn't seem like the guy you want on this case.
Feel the 80s comin' off that page! When the cops leave, Peter beats himself up in his usual fashion, sure someone has figured out he's Spider-Man and kidnapped MJ in a bid to get to him. Unbeknownst to him, she's elsewhere in the same building, being held captive in Jonathon Caesar's specially designed prison apartment. I mean, I get that he's crazy, but this doesn't seem terribly well thought out.
So, yeah, dealing with a real crazy guy here. He keeps talking about how he's learned to manipulate people over the years, then about how he's been hoping to kidnap her ever since he first saw her on a magazine cover, and thus made sure she & Peter were able to get a place here. After talking about how they'll be happy in their new life together, he and his goons leave her alone in what we're told is a soundproof room with an unbreakable window. Meanwhile, Spider-Man is out shaking down crooks trying to get a lead on her. One informant says he might be able to bring back some info in 24 hours. The next day, Peter's not doing too well. His publicist Ginny is with him, trying to help, but who could? He wants to cancel is book signing in in Queens, but then Aunt May calls to say how proud and excited she is, and he decides to go through with it.
Well, that's not entirely true, caption. MJ may not know Felicia's back in town and looking for Peter, but they've met a couple of times. Later that night, Spider-Man is in a "derelict graveyard" in Brooklyn, having been told by his guy that someone out for revenge on Spider-Man is based here. He thinks he's been played until a bunch of goons show up and start shooting. He has no trouble with them, of course.
Keith Pollard has been slighted by these tombstones! McFarlane's take on Taskmaster is only slightly less weird inside than on the cover. Taksy wants to explain his whole supervillain deal, as they tend to do, but Spidey's not in the mood, slinging a tombstone at him and demanding to know where MJ is. But Tasky vanishes, and Spidey has to force one of his goons to tell him their base in a fortified mausoleum across the way. He smashes his way in demanding Mary Jane Watson-Parker. TM says he's never heard of her, but Spidey's in time to help him train a bunch of new recruits.
Not that all his fancy moves help him. So Tasky sets off a flare in the room, which is full of munitions, and runs for it, once again saying he doesn't know about MJ, and if he did, he'd be rubbing Spider-Man's nose in it. Spidey realizes that's true, and this has all been for nothing. He escapes the exploding base, waits for the fire department to show, and then dejectedly heads home, never guessing MJ is in the same building. Will our hero find his missing wife? I mean… probably. But how? When? Come back next time.

Researchers at RCSI, along with international collaborators within the ANGIOPREDICT research consortium, have discovered that chromosomal instability (where whole human chromosomes or parts of chromosomes are duplicated or deleted) may predict which patients will receive most benefit from a key drug used to treat colorectal cancer (Avastin). By knowing in advance which patients would not benefit from Avastin, individuals could be spared the side-effects of the drug, and are more likely to receive optimal treatment with a minimum of delay, while reducing cost of care.
The study, led by researchers at RCSI (Royal College of Surgeons in Ireland) and the VIB-KU Leuven Center for Cancer Biology in Belgium is published this month in the prestigious international journal Nature Communications. It marks a further important advance in the global effort to move towards a more personalized treatment approach for colorectal cancer patients.
According to the World Cancer Research Fund, colorectal cancer is the third most common cancer worldwide with nearly 1.4 million new cases diagnosed annually. In 2014, almost 153,000 people died from colorectal cancer in the EU equivalent to 11 per cent of all deaths from cancer. Half of colorectal cancer patients develop metastatic cancer, where the cancer spreads to other parts of the body, for which Avastin is a key component of therapy.
"As always, our overall goal is to improve the standard-of-care for colorectal cancer and to make sure that patients only receive drugs that will work specifically in the setting of their own disease. This will reduce side-effects, treatment costs and improve patient outcomes", added Professor Lambrechts (VIB-KU Leuven Center for Cancer Biology).

BREAKING: Donald Trump is facing multiple fraud charges.
This is a nice illustration of how Trump has hacked the political media's election coverage protocols:
Which is also to say it's weird that the (multiple!) pending fraud charges against the GOP nominee play no role in the campaign.

The Atlantic's Adam Serwer observed earlier this week "the public hears about Hillary's emails week after week, and that Trump says offensive things sometimes maybe." That's a slightly hyperbolic but basically fair distillation of Gallup editor in chief Frank Newport's findings.
If Mr. Trump talks about Muslim parents and their son who was killed in action, that's what the public remembers. If he goes to Mexico or Louisiana, that's what they recall reading or hearing about him. If Mr. Trump calls President Obama the founder of the Islamic State, "ISIS" moves to the top of the list of what Americans tell us they are hearing about the Republican candidate.
What Americans recall hearing about Mrs. Clinton is significantly less varied. Specifically — and to an extraordinary degree — Americans have consistently told us that they are reading and hearing about her handling of emails while she was secretary of state during President Obama's first term.
The fact that Trump's ethical, legal, and moral failings dwarf Clinton's just isn't breaking through all this. It's not for no reason that Trump routinely trounces Clinton in polls measuring things like truthfulness and transparency. If there's a silver lining here it's that Trump occasionally says something so offensive that it damages him. But then sometimes he calls Muslim refugees a "cancer from within," comparing them to "a Trojan horse" and to poisonous snakes, and nobody seems to notice.
We're gonna feel pretty dumb if our weird obsession with State Department email practices and relative disinterest in fraud, bribery and self-dealing ultimately leads to ethnic cleansing.


At their recent meeting, the bishops of the Episcopal Church were joined by the Primates of Papua New Guinea and Central Africa. After participating in the Holy Eucharist, Archbishop Bernard Malango of Central Africa said that he was interested in the way we in the American Church pass the Peace: "The Peace of the Lord be always with you." He found this meaningful, but also shared with the other bishops something that happens in his country. There, he told them, the custom is to take the hand of the person next to you, to look in that person's eyes, and say, "I love the face of Christ I see."
Many days at my job we get frustrated by 'the system'. Take that as you will, but it is a collective term for nursing being difficult, aides not wanting to do their jobs, phlebotomists that come in and wake residents by poking their arms, corporate nonsense, and the mass amounts of paperwork we have to do. This is true of every job (in different ways) and in no way do I claim that I have it worse than elsewhere in dealing with said system. It is always difficult in every job where you deal with many people on a daily basis. I'm aware of this.
Bridget (my twin because we share a birthday) frequently is heard to say 'You're doing God's work'. She's right. We are. We are trying desperately to do as best we can for every person who we treat. It is hard sometimes because of that system. It makes us feel badly and worn down. But her reminder, it gives me a boost whenever I hear her say it.
I'm making her a CD with a lot of songs on it. Lots of MJ and 80's tunes and also a couple of songs that I think echo the words of loving each other. Love each other or perish. (-Wystan Hugh Auden). No other way. Live love. Be love.
