The descent of ethnic Europeans into panda-like sterility isn't something which merits further analysis. We know the facts well enough. Numbers and statistics can be summoned quickly from the internet. Few measures can now be implemented to reverse the decline, and no energy is apparent to mount an effort anyway.
What can still be said of value then, must leave the domain of facts and enter the zone of speculation. Let's construct (for the sake of amusement) a dystopia and see what options will be available to liberal Europeans (and by this I include all European-born non-Muslims), in the projected near-future.
Position your imagination the following way: It is 2030. London by this time is 60% Islamic and riddled with all the 'enrichments' of the faithful. Asian populations formerly limited to East London now stretch imperiously into Essex and Kent. Those believers based in Croydon are claiming ground southwards into rural Surrey and Sussex.
White refugees from most of the English inner-cities are moving en masse to old-age retirement colonies along the southern coastline. Younger White families are moving to rural Wales and Cumbria.
In America, the levers of cultural and political power lie firmly in the hands of an African-Hispanic coalition. Elderly Whites are dying off in their tens of thousands. Increasing temperatures and rates of crime make urban environments impossible terrain for the over fifties, meaning that every city of national importance is now under minority rule.
Every week a new 'White terrorist' is arrested after plotting gun rampages against immigrant communities. Al-Qaeda is a distant memory. White men over fifty are now public enemy number one.
As all media bends eventually to the force of money, the post-Murdoch Fox News Network, once so firmly allied to the White male, now deals only in racially neutral issues like abortion and local government. Most of its presenters are Hispanic.
Mexicans cross the Southern border at their leisure, while in the north, Canada beefs up its own border security, concerned at the illegal entry of American Whites.
The population of Russia is significantly smaller than what it was in the year 2000. One third of Russia's population is now Islamic, and Muslims enjoy increasing influence upon its national and foreign policy…..
There. That should cheer you up.
I'm afraid that not one of these dystopian predictions is infeasible. Indeed, the worst-case-scenarios of experts far exceed the ideas above. Consequently, it is well worth asking the question sooner rather than later:
What will you do in such a world? Where will you go?
A bizarre consensus has developed on the internet (especially in the context of the Islamisation of Europe) according to which the only sanctuary in which Western Civilization can survive the coming upheaval, is not to be found in Europe, Asia, or North America… but Australasia.
Time and time again when chatting to like-minded people on Facebook, I find the closing comment on a long thread to be a variant of the following: "Well, whatever happens. There's always Australia. We can ultimately move there."
Perhaps it's not intended as seriously as I take it, but this nevertheless seems a very depressing strain of defeatism. Australia is a beautiful country, wonderfully diverse (and I use that word in its original naturalist sense), teeming with optimistic, talented and pleasant people. But is that really the answer?
It seems, for thousands of Brits, that yes it is. Increasing numbers of English, Scottish and Welsh families are choosing to expose themselves to the notoriously stringent examinations of the Australian Immigration Board every year, and that number is projected to climb consistently for the foreseeable future.
Other than Australia, some people predict an exodus of Europeans to Canada: an even vaster landmass, and one with a more European climate. Others suggest New Zealand. Some even point to the vast ice-fields of Greenland.
Personally, I don't believe that these are the natural options at all, or at any rate those which will be pursued by progressive youth when the time comes.
In 2030, I will be 46 years of age. Still a young-ish bloke then, with at least the physical and emotional fitness to leave a sinking ship. If the predictions of the great 'Islamophobes' (Mr Steyn, Ms Geller etc…) prove correct, and if the liberal West fails to mount an effective resistance in the meantime, my plan is to migrate to Latin America: the vastest cultural territory in the world to remain free of Islamisation, and one of the last and greatest hopes for the survival of European(ish) culture.
Still, maybe all this speculation is fanciful. Our elites might see the light sooner than we imagine. But when I hear that Robert Spencer and Pamela Geller are being denied entry into my country on the grounds of 'cultural cohesion', and at the same time read reports of local soldiers not going out on their own at night to 'avoid being beheaded', I can't help feeling we're already too far down the road to hit reverse.

As a white American of European ancestry, I am not optimistic but continue to fight. Australia has a Muslim problem too and it is becoming worse there under Guliard, Australia's Obama. Canada has a major Muslim problem too but Harper gives me hope. I think there are areas of Latin America that may be a sanctuary for us, but we will never be a majority in any nation again. Even there, the Muslims are busy little bees. You got to give a hand to the Japanese. Even though their population is shrinking, it will survive, their culture, their identity will survive. They never bought into the diversity is strength, multiculturalism enriches us all propaganda. The 'experts' were predicting their collapse. They have their problems for sure, but the Japanese will survive and the decline in real numbers will level off. That is better than having your culture, your civilization wiped off the earth.
Defend the Modern World said:
I have a feeling you're correct about Japan. They have prioritized very wisely, and a shrinking population is a good thing in a small country. In fact a shrinking of the European population would be a good thing in some cases. It's only because of the Muslim invasion that demographic issues matter at all.
Thankfully Ms Gillard is no longer in charge as of today. : )
Yes I read that. Ruud is not any better. My hope is that he is defeated in the cpcoming elections.

"I'm afraid that not one of these dystopian predictions is infeasible. Indeed, the worst-case-scenarios of experts far exceed the ideas above."
Could you show experts forecasting that in 2030 "The population of Russia is half of what it was in the year 2000" and "One third of Russia [population is] Islamic"?
14% of Russians are currently Muslim. This can be found out via google. I'm on my phone now, but I can send links. There are no definite figures for the future make-up of Russia and I was clear that this is speculation. Given that most of Russia's population growth is from the 'Caucasus' region (largely comprised of Muslims), a third in 2030 seems intuitively very reasonable, especially given the well-documented decline of North-West ('European') Russians.
As for the 'Population of Russia is…" fact, my error, I misread an article which posits the Russian population to halve by 2050. I shall go back and correct it now.
"14% of Russians are currently Muslim."
It vary among sources. For example, http://www.pewforum.org/future-of-the-global-muslim-population-russia.aspx claim 11.7% in 2010 (and forecast 14.4% in 2030).
"There are no definite figures for the future make-up of Russia and I was clear that this is speculation."
Actually, you wrote that "not one of these dystopian predictions is infeasible. Indeed, the worst-case-scenarios of experts far exceed the ideas above."
"Given that most of Russia's population growth is those from the 'Caucasus' region (largely comprised of Muslims), a third in 2030 seems intuitively very reasonable, especially given the well-documented decline of North-West ('European') Russians."
I don't know what you are talking about.
Thank you. That's better now.

Hello, always i used to check blog posts here
early in the morning, since i love to learn more and more.
Could you show experts forecasting that in 2030 "One third of Russia [population is] Islamic"?
That all depends what you mean by 'experts'. There is a great diversity of opinion on this matter. I would recommend for a start books such as "The Death of the West" by Pat Buchanan.
You must understand that the growth of 'Russian' Muslims may not be driven by 'natural increase' alone. As the non-Muslim population ages and begins to die, cheap labour will be imported from the Caucasus. Given that the question of how much labour will be imported is dependent on the policies of the Russian government from now until 2030, no-one can make concrete predictions. The 'worst case scenario' is far more than a third. It depends upon the policies of Moscow.
"Paul Goble, an expert on minorities in the former Soviet Union….
'Within most of our lifetimes the Russian Federation, assuming it stays within current borders, will be a Muslim country. That is it will have a Muslim majority and even before that the growing number of people of Muslim background in Russia will have a profound impact on Russian foreign policy. The assumption in Western Europe or the United States that Moscow is part of the European concert of powers is no longer valid. … The Muslim growth rate, since 1989, is between 40 and 50 percent, depending on ethnic groups. Most of that is in the Caucuses or from immigration from Central Asia or Azerbaijan.'
Goble notes the exponential growth in Islam since the demise of the Soviet Union: Russia had about 300 mosques in 1991 and now there are at least 8,000, about half of which were built with money from abroad, especially from Turkey, Iran and Saudi Arabia. There were no Islamic religious schools in 1991 and today there are between 50 and 60, teaching as many as 50,000 students. The number of Russians going on the hajj each year, has jumped from 40 in 1991 to 13,500 in 2005. He quotes a Russian commentator predicting that within the next several decades there will be a mosque on Red Square."
– http://www.danielpipes.org/blog/2005/08/predicting-a-majority-muslim-russia
Indeed, it depends of the meaning of "experts". This is an other motive that you tell who you read or heard forecasting that in 2030 "One third of Russia [population is] Islamic". If you wrote "According to expert Pat Buchanan…", a reader may disagree that Pat Buchanan is an expert in the field, but at least this reader would know who your source is.
Please notice that, if Paul Goble's 2006 forecast depend of premise that "the Chechen and Ingush communities are averaging 10 children per woman", then it is not accurate since fertility rate in Chechnya and Ingushetia are lower than 4 since 1999 according to http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Demographics_of_Russia#Total_fertility_rates .
I should just add that I'm not a fan of Pat Buchanan. It's just his book "Death of the West" is a good source of statistics.

As a Londoner who has already jumped from the sinking ship, I can heartily recommend Latin America to you. I chose the Yucatan peninsula in southwest Mexico which proved to be a sound decision, but there are other excellent options, most notably in Chile. My only qualification is that you don't wait till 2030. By then all the best properties in Latin America will have been snatched up by others who came here before you and the prices will have risen. Also, you probably won't be able to sell your property in the UK for very much and will probably have to leave a lot of your belongings behind as you 'flee' the country. If you'd like to know more about the Yucatan, please feel free to ask!
That sounds like a great place to live. You were very wise. Mexico is a beautiful prospect viewed from grimy, overcrowded London. My only hesitation with Mexico specifically is the drug-war problem. Is that only active on the US border or do you find it to be a violent place where you are?
Chile is another good idea. Argentina also seems to have a very European-esque culture. I certainly plan to leave Britain sooner if the opportunity arises.
The drug war is a major factor in the north but the Yucatan is one of the safest places in the world to live. It's almost a separate country when it comes to things like crime. Also, the land is cheap, there's plenty of opportunity, it has 250-odd miles of Caribbean coast, a rich cultural history (Maya & Spanish) and is well-located with regard to the rest of the world when compared to places like Chile. Also, they welcome foreigners and documentation is relatively straightforward. Next time you're wondering where to go on holiday, try Cancun and check the place out for yourself. I'd be happy to show you round.
Thanks, I'll try and read up on it.

Why are you talking about leaving your ancestral home? You flee an 'invading force' and you simply get labelled a coward…stand up for what is yours. Simple.
To be honest, it's only the people that matter to me and the people are leaving in droves. I don't feel a sentimental attachment to the land. British culture is what matters and it's going to die as this mass emigration continues. Without that culture, there is no Britain. Who'd want to live in a Sharia Britain?

You're wrong on your assessment of over 50s in the U.S. It isn't that they are fleeing the urban areas — just the opposite. They are fleeing the rural "retirement" colonies and moving to or staying put in urban areas. It is rural America is emptying out. Over 50s need to continue working and jobs are in urban areas not in "the sticks". Medical care is also in urban areas not in the outlying countryside or the mountains in Montana. As far as minority rule in urban areas, I don't know. Los Angeles just replaced a Latino mayor with a white, suburban raised man. I'm not filled with optimism but I think you're jumping the gun as far as the U.S. is concerned. Cities like Detroit are finished, and there is no doubt that all of the US cities are in big trouble financially but I'm not ready to throw in the towel just yet. If you want to concentrate on bad news, I just saw a video of the police arresting the head of the EDL for walking in a Muslim neighborhood. An accompanying video from 2009 showed the London police clearly on the run and the Muslims chasing them and calling them cowards (which they clearly were). All I could think was that I was watching Western societies in Europe willingly and enthusiastically surrendering to barbarians. It made me sick. But the situation in the U.S. is not as dire — at least not yet. The British need to take responsibility for this insanity. It couldn't happen without their approval and consent. Watch the videos on fights started by Muslim gangs in British restaurants and bars — the white, Christian Brits sit there and do nothing while their buddies get pummeled.
The 'retirement colonies' referenced were places in Britain like Eastbourne and Cornwall. Perhaps it's more a British phenomenon than a universal one. I'm glad Americans aren't ready to throw in the towel just yet.
And I agree that the video of police fleeing Muslims is disgraceful. Americans must think we're crazy.
I don't know about other Americans but, speaking for myself, I was stunned. WHY? And the videos of fights breaking out in bars and restaurants, fights started by Muslim gangs beating on an individual Brit and the other Brits sitting there watching, DOING NOTHING to intervene or to stop it is sheer insanity. The Brits look bored — like it's an everyday occurrence – no big deal. You are handing over your country to barbarians with not a bit of resistence. WHY? Only the EDL fights back, and they are demonized for doing so. You know what? The EDL are the English equivalent of the Israeli "Settlers." And when they go down, guess who is next in line? The white urban professionals.
I should also clarify that i don't view the increase in Hispanics as a negative phenomenon. My worry is that America will become more divided.

Personally, I wish that every young Brit and American who is worried about this problem would find a spouse and have lots of babies, not flee. There are pockets of these societies that are re-focusing on childbearing — at church last Sunday I saw families with 5 and 6 children apiece — and It would be good if that movement grows. Where there's life, there's hope, but if there is no next generation, then truly there's nothing that can be done. I'm now too old to act on my own advice, but I hope I'll eventually find some way to be helpful to some younger people who are raising the next generation. (There are a lot of middle-aged people who didn't think about these things when we were younger; it seems as if there ought to be some way we could make ourselves useful nonetheless. In the heavily Jewish neighborhoods of New York I've seen stores that sell groceries and other items at lower prices for large families; I don't know if the community takes up collections to help fund that or what. But that's the kind of thing I mean — there might be ways that childless members of the community could help those who take on the job of raising a large brood.)
I agree. I think that maybe Mormons have the right idea about large families. If you look at the birthrate figures for Western Europe, it's depressing stuff. Almost all of the demographic increase in the last few years has been down to Somalis and Poles. While there's nothing wrong with Polish migrants, most of them go back to Poland when they have made enough money, which will leave the Christian/Muslim ratio even worse than before they came. Most new Churches are specifically constructed for Polish congregations.
As to how we revive British fertility, I would agree that subsidy and financial inducement is the way forward. In Russia, the government awards huge advantages (and even medals) to Women who have large families.
And every Western country could learn a thing or two from Jews. Jewish communal spirit is very much lacking in other populations.

So I'm told, Halloween at the McWilliamses is the house-holiday. Overpowering all the others in pure decoration power many times over. It has been this way since memories were born, and shows no signs of slowing down.
This year in fact, has been one of most intense years as any of the others, and I'll say that I have never in my life seen a house more decorated where they weren't charging admission.
I have no idea either. This was like October 15th. They probably charge admission.

Microsoft releases Visual Studio 2012 Update 5, get your update now!
Over the years, Microsoft has developed a reputation for its long-standing support for much of its software and services. Even as the company introduces new technologies, it typically supports older or legacy products for some time.
Last month, Microsoft launched Visual Studios 2015 and encouraged developers to grab the new download either through visualstudio.com or MSDN subscriber downloads. Visual Studio 2015 brings improvements in C++, productivity enhancements Node.js Tools for Visual Studios and host of other recent technologies. A few days ago, Microsoft also pushed out an update to its older product, Visual Studio 2012. The recent update found on the Microsoft servers is listed as Update 5 for Visual Studio 2012. Based on its details page, the update is mainly a bugfix release for Team Project Rename with support for Local Workspace features.
The lack of 'new features' is not all that surprising as Microsoft indicated that Update 4 for Visual Studio 2012 would be the last patch the tool set would receive.
With Visual Studio 2013 and 2015 simultaneously receiving engineering attention, it would be safe to assume that Update 5 may be among the last updates the four-year-old development tools will gain.
Are you still using Visual Studio 2012 or have you upgraded to newer versions?

Store Feature: Fort Saskatchewan
Located along the North Saskatchewan River, in a city called Fort Saskatchewan, you will find a Spiritleaf store owned and operated by a local entrepreneur. Spiritleaf has created a modern retail model that offers legitimacy, reputability, professionalism and a feeling of confidence.
The fort was originally established in 1875, by the North-West Mounted Police (NWMP). Then in 1905, the Canadian Northern Railway established the transcontinental rail line, bringing new opportunities for the area. Fort Saskatchewan wasn't declared a city until 1985. The city features Fort Heritage Precinct which is among some of the most historic places in Alberta to see and comes complete with a historical village.
With a current population that is approaching 30 thousand, its economy mostly relies on commercial, heavy industry and some retail. Oddly enough, many influential people came from this area including several NHL hockey players, an astronaut and even a famous actress. This city offers an extensive system of paved trails and provides access to several natural areas and national parks.
Find out about the store owner's background in the trades and about what attracted him to the Cannabis industry. Read this brief interview below to learn about Jason:
Who are you and what is your background?
I'm Jason Faichney and I have worked 25 years as an inter-provincial Red Seal Journeyman TIG Welder. Specializing in Inconel, stainless steel, 5 & 9 chrome, super duplex and many other exotic alloys and metal applications. In the last 15 years, I have worked on almost every major project in Alberta. Holding positions ranging from welder to foreman to general foreman and superintendent. I have worked at 300 feet in the air, in weather of -45c to +45c. I specialized in vessel, tower and hydrogen reactor repairs and construction. Boilermaking is not for the faint of heart. As we are often in confined spaces or working at extreme heights with only a 6″ beam to stand on. We also work in pulp mills in the oil and gas sector, fertilizer plants, electric power plants and nuclear reactors.
Where is your store located?
This store is just a short drive northeast of Edmonton. The address is 103, 10010 86 Ave Fort Saskatchewan Alberta.
Call the store, 587-285-4444 or email them directly at fortsaskatchewan@spiritleaf.ca.
Why did you choose to open a Cannabis retail store-front?
It's cannabis, who doesn't love cannabis? lol. It was an opportunity to be a business owner in a new industry that has nothing but room to grow, spreading it's seed and pollinating the world with its cannabis vibes.
What attracted you to Spiritleaf?
The fact that it was an Alberta company and a franchise business that offered an opportunity to the 'little guy'. It was the vision of what a cannabis retail location could be that attracted me. With an atmosphere which is friendly, welcoming and not pretentious. Spiritleaf provides high-end quality, that meets just about every budget level.
Other interesting facts about you that the public should know?
I'm just an average Canadian trying to make it!
Our goal is to be Canada's most knowledgeable and trusted source of recreational cannabis. Find a Spiritleaf nearest you by clicking here to search the locations page on the website.

Before Flying The Drone, Check India's New Drone Rules 2021
Drones will definitely play a big part in the future and they can be used for almost any task. This year, the Indian Government's Ministry of Civil Aviation or MoCA published the Unmanned Aircraft Systems or the UAS rules for the application of drones in our country. However, the rules published by the MoCA were extremely restrictive and involved a lot of paperwork. This is the main reason why the Indian government has revised these rules and published a liberal version of the same. The types of fees included are now 4, down from 72 whereas the number of new rules has been decreased from 25 to 5.
Quoting our country's Prime Minister, Mr. Narendra Modi, "The new Drone Rules will tremendously help start-ups and our youth working in this sector. It will open up new possibilities for innovation & business. It will help leverage India's strengths in innovation, technology & engineering to make India a drone hub."
Post the release of these rules, the government is also planning to publish an airspace map on the interactive digital sky platform that clearly indicates the red, yellow, and green zones within the next 30 days. The green zone refers to airspaces with a vertical distance of up to 120 meters or 400 feet. However, in areas located within 8 to 12 kilometers from the boundary of an airport, the green zone is restricted to 200 feet or 60 meters. If you want to fly your drone in the green zone, you do not need any permission from the government.
Additionally, the yellow zone has been reduced from 45 KM to 12 KM from the airport perimeter. The government has also eliminated the need to have a remote pilot license for operating a micro drone or a nano drone. Additionally, the fee for procuring a remote pilot license for a large drone has now been fixed at Rs. 3,000 whereas it is Rs. 100 for other drone categories. The license would be valid for a duration of 10 years from the date it is issued.
The Indian government has also increased the coverage of drones to 500 kg from the previous 300 kg. The maximum penalty for violating any rule has been fixed at Rs.1 lakh and any accident involving a drone should be reported within 48 hours.

A SpaceX Falcon 9 rocket launched from Vandenberg Space Force Base on Thursday, Oct. 27, carrying 53 Starlink satellites into orbit and providing a stunning light show for anyone who looked toward the sky.
The launch went off at 6:14 p.m. and the glowing, gracefully arcing rocket was seen widely in the Los Angeles area, and the bright orange rocket flames during takeoff reportedly could be seen at least 100 miles away, from the San Fernando Valley to Arizona and Sonora, Mexico.
The launch used the company's Falcon 9 rocket. The first-stage booster was used before, to launch the Sentinel-6 Michael Freilich, Double Asteroid Redirection Test and five other Starlink missions, according to SpaceX.
After separation the Falcon 9's first stage will return to Earth and land on the 'Of Course I Still Love You' drone ship, which is waiting in the Pacific Ocean.


In October 2007 Ray Gravell, a man who for many embodied what it is to be Welsh, passed away after succumbing to complications resulting from contracting diabetes. He was 56 years old.
Known to millions for his legendary exploits on the rugby field, 'Grav' was and is so much more than that. An actor, a cultural icon, a father, a husband, a man with a life packed full of stories that deserve to be heard once more.
Gareth J Bale reprises the role of 'Grav' in this remarkable one-man show exploring the life and times of one of Wales' most loved sons, Ray Gravell, written by Owen Thomas.
With the blessing of Mari, Ray's widow, and contributions from his Welsh and British Lions team mates, this one-man show will explore the life of a man who was as fascinating away from the rugby field as he was on it.
Directed by the Torch Theatre's Artistic Director Peter Doran, 'Grav' will remind the you once more of a unique life well lived and of a man who did so much more than eat soft centres.
Raymond 'Ray' William Robert Gravell was a Welsh rugby union centre who played club rugby for Llanelli RFC.
At international level, he earned 23 caps for Wales and was selected for the 1980 British Lions tour to South Africa. Ray later became a well-respected English and Welsh language broadcaster and actor.
During his film career, Ray starred alongside Peter O'Toole in one of his most notable performances in 'Rebecca's Daughters', a comedy film directed by Karl Francis, based on a story by Welsh poet Dylan Thomas. Ray was also an active supporter of the Welsh National Eisteddfod and held the ceremonial position of Grand Sword Bearer.
Ray's passing in 2007 marked exactly 35 years to the day after the Scarlets won their famous win over New Zealand.
His death was mourned by people throughout Wales and beyond, but his legacy lives on through his family and through the Ray Gravell Charitable Trust.
The Welsh academic and historian Hywel Teifi Edwards wrote, 'Stories will be told about him with gusto in years to come by people who never met him, and I'm quite convinced that stories were fashioned with Grav in mind centuries ago'.
"He displayed great courage and equally great resilience on the rugby field and he showed those exceptional qualities off the field in recent months following his illness" – Gerald Davies, Former British & Irish Lion and WRU Director.
As a rugby player, Ray forever showed a huge degree of respect towards his opponents but never stepped back against anyone on the field of play.
Grav is a one man show starring Gareth J Bale that pays tribute to one of Wales' most loved sons, Ray Gravell. After meeting Gareth back in 2011, the Torch Theatre's Artistic Director, Peter Doran offered his full support in producing and directing this show. Since then, they haven't looked back.
and, in 2018 played in both New York and Washington DC.
The show has now been seen by thousands, including a number of Ray's team mates and rugby legends: Sir Gareth Edwards, Phil Bennett, Delme Thomas, Gareth Jenkins, Scott Hastings, Jim Renwick, Rupert Moon, all of whom have given their seal of approval.
Grav has the full blessing of Ray's wife Mari and his daughters Manon and Gwenan, who travelled with the team to see the show in New York.

Just wanted to pass along a project I recently finished. It's a 6 song project called Brief Pack Vol. 1: Dealings of the Heart. It's basically songs about life, love, and the lost.


Heart bypass without surgery ?
Coronary artery disease, the number one killer world-wide, restricts and ultimately blocks blood vessels, and cuts off oxygen supply to the heart. A study published on August 11 in the open access journal PLOS Biology reports that treatment with AGGF1, a protein which promotes angiogenesis (the growth of new blood vessels), can successfully treat acute heart attacks in mice. The therapeutic benefits depend on autophagy, a normal breakdown process that removes cellular structures that are damaged or no longer needed and recycles their molecular components.
Therapeutic angiogenesis is an experimental treatment that uses the body's own factors to grow new blood vessels, which in turn can serve as endogenous bypasses of blocked older vessels. Qing Kenneth Wang from Huazhong University of Science and Technology in Wuhan, P. R. China and the Cleveland Clinic in Cleveland, USA, and colleagues study the potential of AGGF1, an angiogenesis-promoting protein present in mice and humans, as a therapeutic agent.
Blood vessels are formed by endothelial cells, and the researchers initially examined the effects of AGGF1 on human endothelial cells. One of the earliest responses to AGGF1 exposure, they found, is the induction of autophagy. Autophagy was detected by molecular markers as well as characteristic changes to the cellular morphology. When the researchers looked at the hearts of mice treated with AGGF1, they found that not just endothelial cells but also other cells types in the heart respond with autophagy.
To examine the connection between AGGF1 induction of both autophagy and angiogenesis, the researchers used drugs that inhibit autophagy. Treatment of endothelial cells exposed to AGGF1 with these drugs, they found, blocks blood vessel formation at the earliest stages, suggesting that autophagy is required for AGGF1-mediated angiogenesis.
When the researchers created mice with mutations in either one or both copies of the Aggf1 gene, they found that mice that don't have any AGGF1 die as embryos. About 60% of mice that have one intact copy, however, survive to adulthood, and those mice have reduced levels of autophagy in their hearts.
The researchers then turned to a mouse model of myocardial infarction (MI). They found that AGGF1 levels increase in the injured heart tissue heart after MI, and that this is likely mediated by hypoxia, i.e., the lack of oxygen, in the affected tissue. Treatment with external AGGF1 following MI increases the number of mice that survive two and four weeks later. It also substantially improves parameters measured by echocardiography as well as other cardiac functions in the treated mice.
Looking at the mechanisms, the researchers report that AGGF1 induces autophagy and angiogenesis, increases the number of cardiac cells that survive, and reduces scarring in the heart compared with mice that had an acute MI but did not receive AGGF1. The researchers also identified a key molecular regulator called JNK that mediates the induction of autophagy by AGGF1; drugs blocking JNK prevent the induction of autophagy by AGGF1. And blocking autophagy by drugs or mutations in genes required for the process abolishes the ability of AGGF1 to promote angiogenesis and cardiac repair after MI, demonstrating again an essential role of autophagy in mediating the beneficial effects of AGFF1.
Acknowledging that it is not yet clear how autophagy activates angiogenesis, the researchers conclude that their data nonetheless "uncover new fundamental molecular mechanisms underlying autophagy and therapeutic angiogenesis and provide a novel treatment strategy for [coronary artery disease] and MI, the leading cause of sudden death worldwide".

Q: Play framework set download file name I'm returning a file from a controller, via play.mvc.Results.ok(file). However, the file downloads as "download", without a specific file name. Is there a way I can set the name for the download (i.e. image.png)?
Thanks

A: The magic for this in Scala (Play 2.4.x) is
def myAction() {
    ...
    ok(file).withHeaders("Content-Disposition" -> "attachment; filename=image.png")
}

Notice that it's plural, its a map and you can have multiple values if needed.
Of course the next thing you'll want to do is make it an actual download which is done like so:
def myAction() {
    ...
    ok(file).withHeaders(CONTENT_TYPE -> "application/x-download",  CONTENT_DISPOSITION -> "attachment; filename=image.png")
}

Notice there are CONSTANTS for most headers defined in Controller  https://www.playframework.com/documentation/2.4.0/api/scala/index.html#play.api.mvc.Controller

A: In order to define a specific filename, you have to set a Content-Disposition header in the response before returning the ok(file) Result.
Here is a sample code :
public static Result myAction() {
    ...
    response().setHeader("Content-Disposition", "attachment; filename=image.png");
    return ok(file);
}

Flu Shots: It's Not Too Late!
Feb 01, 2017 08:30AM ● By Jason Huddle
Although it is usually recommended that people be vaccinated for the flu in early fall, "as long as the flu virus is still active and causing illnesses, it's not too late to be vaccinated," according to The Centers for Disease Control (CDC).
George Veltri, director of immunization programs and a pharmacist with Cannon Pharmacy, agrees. "We are still seeing several patients coming into our stores with prescriptions for the flu vaccine," he says.
"Over the years, I have asked a number of our patients who come in with the flu why they did not get a shot. The major reasons are, no. 1, I am afraid of needles; no. 2, The flu shot that I had in the past gave me the flu; and, no. 3, I had the flu in the past and the symptoms weren't that bad."
Veltri says the needles used today are very thin, and most of his patients report "hardly feeling a thing." He also says it is a myth that the flu shot can cause the flu. "The CDC has repeatedly proven this," he explains. "It is an inactivated, dead, vaccine…it can take up to two weeks for the antibodies in the flu vaccine to become effective."
According to Veltri, it is more likely that some patients wait until several people they have been in contact with become sorely ill, then they come in for a shot. Two days later, they come down with the flu and then blame the shot. "I always say, 'It's not the shot that gave you the flu, it was Harry at work who is to blame.'
Finally, Veltri says that many of those who say they had the flu in the past and it "wasn't that bad" most likely had a bad cold or upper respiratory infection. "Ask those who have really had the flu and they will tell you, 'It's the same as a bad cold, times 10,' " he says.
While influenza virus symptoms are severe, the CDC reports that less than 50 percent of Americans got the flu vaccine in 2016.
While most consider the flu as an inconvenience, it kills thousands each year, especially the very young and elderly. Veltri stresses, "I urge you to come and see us and get your shot – it's not too late.

ldd Vmware-vPostgres-client.rpm doesnt help much and returns
'not a dynamic executable' which is expected
I tried adding the path in the /etc/ld.so.conf file
include  lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libc.so.6
I also tried setting the LD_LIBRARY_PATH to the specified file but of no use.
ldd --version shows

Can anyone help me out where exactly does it searches for the file?

A: You can try the package alien to convert it to a deb package and then use sudo dpkg -i packagename.deb or GUI based GDebi Application Installer to install it. They should report you package-wise unmet dependencies.

Worcester State Gallery Exhibiting First One-Person Show
More than 70 guests signed into opening night for the "Terri Priest: Inspiration, Creation" show at The Gallery in the Ghosh Science and Technology Center, where they met special guest, the artist herself, Terri Priest.
In Worcester State's first-ever, one-person show, Gallery Director and Visual and Performing Arts Professor Catherine Wilcox-Titus snagged Worcester native, Terri Priest. A February 3 private opening, which was also a fundraiser, resulted in additional financial support for The Gallery to improve fixtures and exhibit space. Priest is also donating 30 percent of each work sold during the show to The Gallery. The first piece sold on the first night.
"Terri Priest: Inspiration, Creation" runs through Thursday, March 14. Gallery hours are Tuesday through Friday from 11 a.m. to 5 p.m. and Saturday from 1 to 5 p.m. The Gallery is free and open to the public.
The show features Priest's Vermeer series, which fairly pop off the wall with the clean lines and colors that so define both Vermeer and Priest. In appropriating Vermeer's artwork into her own, Priest also appropriated the works of Georgia O'Keefe, Roy Lichtenstein and Mary Cassatt. Priest said that she combined these artists' work with her own to tell a story and to allow viewers to determine their own narratives as they stand in front of the work.
Walking into The Gallery and stopping right inside the doors, or even peering through the windows, a panoramic landscape of Priest's Vermeers greet the eye. Scanning from one painting to the next proves a delight of sensory perception and engulfs the viewer into the world of Terri Priest.
After smiling over the humor and humanity Priest infuses into her Vermeer pieces, guests encounter a different side of Priest's art in her angel series. This series shows the angels as they hover on the precipice of the dark and the light. Priest created these images as she reconciled her own grief stemming from her sister's illness and untimely death.
Priest's career charts the history of art in the latter half of the 20th century—from abstract art to realism and as a presence in contemporary art. She ran the Fletcher Priest Gallery for contemporary art in Worcester, and she taught on the faculty of the College of the Holy Cross. Her Vermeer series garnered international attention. In prints, paintings, drawings, and collage, Priest's work exhibits a broad range of interests and talents. This show celebrates her work and her contribution to the cultural fabric of Worcester.

WSU the Only State University Named a 'Best Value College'

Seems there are no available parts for the Winchester 1873 according to some, while others have ordered and received all the parts they need. So, somewhere in there is the truth. Unfortunately, the only real way to know is call Winchester and ask them. As far as I know most people shooting Winchesters are not needing parts.
How do you know they don't have the replacement parts? Because someone said it? Call Winchester yourself. If they are short on parts its not because they break often its because they don't. If they don't have the part how long is the wait to get it? I've have and have had both and there is no comparison, hands down the Winchester is of better quality inside and out. Its a Ford Chevy and Ram thing, whatever you own you are loyal to. The only reason aftermarket manufacturers make parts for Uberti is plain and simple, we need better parts than Uberti makes or is able to make. One other thing, the Winchester comes from the factory short stroked, almost as short as allowed by SASS rules. Miroku has re-engineered some of the weaker parts to make the rifle bullet proof. Uberti is still using the same old designs from the 1800's. Soft pins and low quality springs are a thing of the past with Miroku guns.
Check the depriming pin for a round point. When they get sharp they will do that.
" $11750.00 shipped and insured to your ffl" I think you need to proof read your ad.
It appears that Winchester has 4 different links available for their 73's I'm not real sure what the length difference is between them, I guess I could measure the ones I have which are stamped "with 2 stars and 4 stars" If I remember right the 4 stars were longer than the 2 but not much maybe .003" The lockup is perfect from Winchester. They could have just made the links that were a little sloppy and one size fits all.
I installed the SS kit in my 73 38/357 without a problem. I also installed the kit in my 45 Colt just to see if it would work and it did. I removed the 45 kit so I could play with 2 Winchesters one with and one without the kit. Bottom line, it may have a lot to do with who is installing what kit in what gun. My take on the kits is they are a little tight and that is a good thing, it allows me to fit the parts, not some sloppy dropin that feels almost warn out from the get go.
I have 2 Winchesters, one is short stroked and the other is not. There's not a great deal of difference in them. The Winchester comes from the factory with a very short stroke and is good to go right out of the box. Little to no machine marks on the rifle anywhere unlike the Uberti that is rough to say the least. The round barrels swing much better than the ones with the flats, something to do with wind resistance and a sail effect of the flat spots when being moved fast. Actually its more to do with how long the barrel is. PS: parts are not hard to get and the spec's are not changing. The short stroke kits are drying up mostly because Winchesters are short out of the box and a little shorter just ain't worth the bucks.
Because copper corrodes, so use them or loose them.
Winchester first, Winchester second and no third.
I see a couple things here that could be addressed. First the parts availability, then the quality of the rifle. Uberti 1873 rifles have a great gunsmith following plus unlimited aftermarket parts. That begs the question why. Winchester does not have a gunsmith following nor does it have much in the way of aftermarket parts availability. Uberti factory parts are less than desirable as evidenced by the shear number of aftermarket parts. The fit and finish on these rifles is lacking as compared to most sporting rifles made today. Yet they have a following. Why? Because they have been around a long time and the gunsmiths like them. The base rifle can be used to build a fine cowboy competition rifle from all it takes is money. Winchester may not be as true to the original design as the Uberti but then everything can be improved upon. I haven't heard of any first hand complaints of Winchester parts shortage. The rifle is current production so why would there be a shortage, I do know the 38/357 is in short supply, could be because they are selling well. I having owned all of them and believe the Winchester is of much better quality both in fit, finish and materials used to produce the rifle. The coming years will sort out what people think of the rifles.
Anytime you are playing a game you are always looking for some sort of an advantage. Cowboy action rifles are all pretty good out of the box, not to say that everyone is but most are. However we all think the other guy has a better gun than we do thats the only reason their times are better than ours so off to the gunsmith we go. Mr Stevens made a video of himself shooting a box stock Winchester 73, very few shooters could beat his time with their "smooth as glass wonder gun". Before you deside, time yourself with your stock 73, load and cycle 10 dummy rounds thru your stock rifle, do it 100 times. Take a close look at the times from #1 to 100 and you will see some improvement. Now send it with a blank check to "billy makes them purr" for the treatment. When you finally get it back do the exercise again and study the results of both tests. So what do we really need? Maybe practice makes perfect is the way to go. But then how an I going to brag about my wonder gun?
Great, I do see the drop down menu now.
I talked to Joe earlier this week he has a few 38/357 kits no 45. They are not going to continue making the kits. I bought the last 45 kit they had.

La seigneurie d'Aumelas était une juridiction féodale centrée sur la cité d'Aumelas, près de Montpellier.

Elle était possédée en fief par les vicomtes de Béziers et elle est passée à la vicomté de Carcassonne. Après 1034 le comte Pierre II de Carcassonne a donné en fief la seigneurie à son frère Guilhem I. Il semble qu'elle soit restée en possession des vicomtes de Béziers, et la vicomtesse Ermengarde l'a inféodée à Guilhem V de Montpellier vers 1093.

Guilhem V de Montpellier va en disposer dans son testament en faveur du frère de Guilhem VI, Bernard d'Anduze, de la part de leur mère commune Ermessende, mais en fief des vicomtes de Béziers; ce testament n'entra pas en vigueur puisqu'en 1121 il la lègue à son second fils Guilhem le jeune, connu comme Guilhem d'Aumelas, avec également les villes de Popian, du Pouget et de Montarnaud.

Baronnie d'Aumelas
Guilhem le jeune fut protecteur de l'abbaye d'Aniane de Saint-Benoit; il se marie en 1126 avec Tiburge I comtesse héritière du Comté d'Orange (fille du comte Raimbaud II); il effectue un pèlerinage en Terre sainte. Son héritier est son fils Raimbaud III le troubadour, comte d'Orange et baron d'Aumelas. Raimbaud va hypothéquer le domaine à son cousin Guilhem VII de Montpellier en 1168 et après (1171) à son beau-frère Aimar de Murviel, marié avec la sœur de Guilhem appelée Tiburge II. Mais il va mourir sans descendance en 1173, et laisse Aumelas à sa sœur et/ou à son beau-frère et/ou à leurs fils. Un de ces fils, Ramon Aton, en fait donation à Guilhem VIII de Montpellier en 1187 et les filles de Ramon Aton lui vendent également les droits en 1197. Pendant ce temps, le comté d'Orange passe à Tiburge III (décédée en 1184), sœur de Raimbaud III, mariée avec Bertrand des Baux (décédé en 1181), qui va fonder une nouvelle dynastie à Orange (les Baux) qui vont s'appeler princes. Aumelas reste lié à Montpellier, et avec cette seigneurie passe à la Couronne d'Aragon et après à Jacques I et à la Couronne de Majorque.

Vicomté d'Aumelas
En 1327, la baronnie d'Aumelas commence à être nommée Vicomté d'Aumelas et le roi Jacques III de Majorque la cède en 1330 à son frère Ferran de Majorque. Elle fut occupée par la France en 1341, mais pour peu de temps. En 1344 elle est une des possessions (avec Montpellier et la vicomté de Carlat) de Jacques III de Majorque quand il perd son royaume au profit de Pierre IV d'Aragon. Alors Jacques vend la vicomté, ainsi que Montpellier, au roi de France. Pierre le Cérémonieux y renonce en 1351.

I had a question about one of my favourite car games, Card Game. What was the most expensive car they offered on both the daytime and Million Dollar Spectacular?

Re: Card Game question
The most expensive Card Game car I know of was a $24,790 Dodge Challenger played for just a couple of weeks ago.
I don't think it's ever appeared on the Specials.

Laila: "How much do I weigh? Give me your bid."
Marco: "Er...without going over?"

Why does Drew never emphasize that the ace as a Wild Card, can be held for play at a later time, like Bob did? Was thee a rule change that says you have to play the ace immediately?

Card Game was played for a $66,225 Land Rover during Dream Car Week in 2014.

He does say it can be used later, and does allow the contestant to keep playing after the Ace is used.
Cause it's kind of a confusing rule, and I don't blame Drew at all for wanting to simplify his description. He usually does allude to it though.
Even when Bob did it, he explained that you could play the ace later, but even for years and years it never entered into my mind why anybody would want to play it later.
Apparently Roger believed that it's easier for a contestant to hear "Go on" or "Stop" from the audience than it is to make out all of the different prices they're shouting. So if they wanted to keep getting audience feedback and continue trying to slowly zero in on the price with the audience's help instead of pulling a price out of thin air by themselves, they could.
I don't think it's a strategy that would occur to your average contestant though.
"It's the greatest challenge in the world to invent a new game. For every one you see, every concept that is ultimately refined and developed, a dozen are worked on and not worked on, or almost worked on, or dropped because they don't read any more. We test and hammer and test and hammer...
When you finally get it down so that it looks very very simple, that one has had the most complicated amount of work." -Mark Goodson

Double Prices is the BEST game.
While we're here, can somebody answer this: Can an ace be used for a price below the amount showing? Example: The contestant's current bid is $22,000. If an ace is subsequently drawn, can it be used to bid, say, $18,000, then stop?

Bob, it seemed, preferred contestants using the ace right away, and this could lead to some issues with the game. I'm reminded of the January 17, 2007, playing of Card Game. A contestant drew an ace and Bob urged her to make a final bid for the car. However, the contestant was unsure what to bring her bid to, so she put it aside. Bob questioned why she wanted to do that since she could end the game right there with a final bid for the car. Eventually, Bob let the contestant hold the ace.
Later on, Bob reminded the contestant she had the ace to use, so she set a bid for the car. However, she immediately wanted to increase her bid a little more, but Bob effectively told her she finished bidding (even though she was allowed continue drawing). The contestant lost by $5, and many of us wondered how the show continued without acknowledging Bob's mistake and giving the contestant the car.
Unless I'm mistaken, by the time Card Game's current set came out, the "hold the ace" rule was dropped; contestants are now forced to give a final bid or a positive dollar amount for the ace.

Do you all realize you're responding to a 10 year old thread?
Quote from: goldroadfanatic on May 10, 2019, 09:37:47 PM
Good gravy, what a trainwreck. Did nobody in production want to correct Bob? How on earth did they get away with that?
I dunno... I seem to remember Drew saying something like "Aces are wild, you can even end the game on an Ace if you want to." Which would imply that you can choose to not end the game on an Ace if you don't want to.
But it makes sense to not explain the Ace rule in full unless one comes up. There's already enough of an info dump going on without it. Unless a contestant specifically WANTS to hold on to the ace, there's no reason to even bring it up.
IMO in an era where the smallest possible range is $1000 it makes absolutely no sense to try to hold an ace and fine tune your bid later. That rule is a vestigial organ clinging on decades after it would have been needed, so it wouldn't surprise me if it were axed. But it never seems to come up, so I dunno for sure.

International Speaker - Randy Oliver owns and operates a small commercial beekeeping enterprise in the foothills of Grass Valley in Northern California. He and his two sons manage about 1000 colonies for migratory pollination, and produce queens, nucs, and honey. He has over 40 years of practical beekeeping experience, plus holds B.S. and M.S. degrees in Biological Sciences. Randy researches, analyzes, and digests beekeeping information from all over the world in order to not only broaden his own depth of understanding and knowledge, but to develop practical solutions to many of today's beekeeping problems, which he then shares with other beekeepers through his various articles in bee magazines, his speaking engagements worldwide, and on his website: www.ScientificBeekeeping.com.
International Speaker - Dr Yves Le Conte is currently the Director of the French National Bee Lab (l'Institut National de la Recherche Agronomique, INRA) at Avignon. He has been a keen observer of honeybees throughout his life. The INRA lab is one of the top honey bee research groups in the world, and foremost in Europe for combining basic and applied research. His lab has collaborated with others to define the natural resistance of bees to pathogens and mites, especially varroa. Studies have included in-depth analyses of the chemical ecology within the hive including the interactions between bees and the varroa mite. Dr Le Conte has also contributed greatly to the development of COLOSS (prevention of honey bee Colony Losses), an international, non-profit association headquartered in Bern, Switzerland that is focussed on improving the well-being of bees at a global level.
International Speaker - Simon Williams. PhD candidate, University of the Sunshine Coast Simon began working with Mānuka honey as an undergraduate student with Associate Professor Merilyn Manley-Harris at the University of Waikato. Simon gained a Masters degree with First Class Honours after conducting the first survey of the Mānuka honey activity precursor Dihyrdoxyacetone in the nectar of Mānuka trees around New Zealand. He found that there was significant variation between areas in New Zealand and also between individual trees within a sample site. The work also indicated the ability to predict honey activity based off the sampled nectar. After a brief hiatus as a Visiting Scholar in America and in commercial analytical testing, Simon has returned to the world of honey. He is currently working on his PhD as part of the Oz honey project at the University of the Sunshine Coast. His thesis involves measuring the activity of the different leptospermum species of Australia and how they compare to the honey that is produced.

Once, I was a princess. I had long yellow hair and I lived with a man I was mad about. I loved him ardently. I would do anything for him—and I mean anything; I gave him everything he wanted. But, me, I was never quite sure if he loved me back. Because he wouldn't tell me—and he said he didn't know what love was. Turned out, it was just the chemistry he loved—my body, my scent, the way that I grooved—it was pheromones and fairer moans, the ecstatic delights of the flesh.
Me, I'll tell you now, I'm no princess no more. I hacked off my locks and locked up my heart. I threw everything away. The tale was told that the beast turned into a prince when you kissed him—but this prince, it was the other way around, he turned into the beastly wolf, big and bad as you like. The truth was, when I opened my eyes and finally admitted his dark heart, it was too late: he was carrying death in his arms. Death to me. To us. Death to love.
I saw the truth. He looked at me.
And before all that, a long time before, I used to be an angel, can you believe? I used to be my Poppa's girl. I was born that way and I stayed that way til I was four. My Poppa, he was an angel too. We gloried in our shining light. Perhaps you wouldn't remember those tiny toddling years, but, me, I remember every bit of them…until, in one foul swoop, I was angel no more. Poppa left and there was no one else willing to uphold so much heaven.
I suppose I waited all my life for the hole he left behind in my heart to be filled once more with love. And me, as you see, I was fooled by a wolf in man's clothing.

Commerce, Health and Safety Benefitting From Spectroscopy
Recent research reveals spectroscopy's potential impact in commercial food production facilities and in the surgical suite.
JUSTINE MURPHY, SENIOR EDITOR, [email protected]
For decades, spectroscopy has been used in the life sciences, pharmaceuticals, and even cosmetics and forensics applications. Now, researchers are finding new applications for this noninvasive technique in a broad and growing market.
New technique allows pre-hatch chicken gender reveal
Optical spectroscopy is proving that it just might be okay to count your chickens before they hatch. This method is providing hatcheries with a noninvasive, nondestructive way to accurately determine the sex of a chick within four days of an egg being laid.
Optical spectroscopy is providing poultry hatcheries with a noninvasive, nondestructive way to accurately determine the sex of a chick before it hatches.
A team from the Technical University Dresden in Germany and Vilnius University in Lithuania found that optical spectroscopy essentially picks up on differences in the fluids contained in an egg from which a cockerel will develop, compared to one from which a hen will hatch.
Using a laser that emitted at a wavelength of 785 nm, the researchers investigated 27 eggs for up to 11 days after being laid. Within just a few days after incubation, sex-related differences were already evident in the near-IR fluorescence spectrum. According to the researchers, further analysis showed that the blood of male eggs demonstrates a specific fluorescence band located at ~910 nm. The researchers then looked at whether these fluorescence characteristics could be used to classify if a hen or a cockerel will develop, when coupled with changes in the wavelength of light. Tested on nearly 400 eggs, the technique was accurate in 93 percent of cases.
"In ovo sexing based on spectral analysis is noninvasive, does not require extraction of egg material and does not use consumables," said Roberta Galli of TU Dresden, a lead author on the study that was published in Analytical and Bioanalytical Chemistry (doi: 10.1007/s00216-016-0116-6). "The method is applicable during the fourth day of incubation, before onset of embryo sensitivity at day seven, and is therefore in agreement with animal welfare."
This optical spectroscopy technique could lead to more ethical practices in the poultry industry. Specifically, it could prevent the annual culling of billions of day-old cockerels worldwide, which have much less economic value than hens, the researchers said, noting that the current global demand for eggs totals about 68.3 million tons per year.
NIR spectroscopy: A developing food science innovation
NIR spectroscopy was first used to monitor food quality in the 1970s when Canada began to replace the very targeted "chemical-requiring and cumbersome Kjeldahl analysis" method to evaluate the protein content in cereals. Kjeldahl specifically measures protein content in food; nitrogen content is also measured with this method and then equated with the protein content.
"We have known and developed [spectroscopy] methods … and they have become better and cheaper over time," said Soren Balling Engelsen, a professor at the University of Copenhagen's Department of Food Science (FOOD), and a co-author on a study published in the journal Current Opinion in Food Science (doi: 10.1016/j.cofs.2016.08.001).
NIR spectroscopy is the future of food testing, according to the Copenhagen researchers, but it must be used more broadly in order to be widely effective.
"Even though [NIR spectroscopy] is widely used in the food industry, it can be used far more," said Klavs Martin Sorensen, a postdoctoral researcher at Copenhagen, and co-author of the study. "It will become more attractive to use [NIR spectroscopy] at production sites, where you previously wouldn't have been using advanced measuring equipment."
Nontargeted methods of analysis could better detect food fraud — defined by the U.S. National Center for Food Protection and Defense as "the deliberate and intentional substitution, addition, tampering or misrepresentation of food, food ingredients or food packaging; or false or misleading statements made about a product for economic gain" — than those currently employed.
Near-IR spectroscopy is proving a key tool in detecting food fraud. Courtesy of Sorensen et al./University of Copenhagen.
"The problem is that the food analyses which are predominantly used today are only spot checks and they are typically targeted toward a single kind of food fraud," Engelsen said. "When you want to detect food fraud and food adulteration, you are not looking for a single substance. [You] have to look broadly."
The Copenhagen study cited a 2008 case in which the targeted Kjeldahl method unwittingly allowed manufacturers in China to add melamine — an industrial synthetic substance containing 66 percent nitrogen — to milk powder for infant formula. They falsely claimed to consumers that this provided more protein; instead, adding melamine resulted in six deaths and illness in an estimated 300,000 children. This contamination was able to essentially trick the Kjeldahl method, according to the researchers, as it detected more of the protein. Engelsen said NIR spectroscopy, with its broader, nontargeted analysis, cannot be fooled.
With NIR spectroscopy, light is sent into the food and measured when it comes back, taking a nontargeted physicochemical fingerprint of the food. This offers higher, more comprehensive accuracy than Kjeldahl and other techniques. According to the researchers, the fingerprint obtained will often contain "1000+ spectral variables that each relate to the physicochemical composition of the food in their own unique way."
NIR spectroscopy can also be used to examine large quantities of raw materials, detecting fluctuations in many different ingredients at once. Such monitoring allows inspection of close to 100 percent of the ingredients and raw materials that go into food production, subsequently reducing manufacturing errors and potential low product quality.
Engelsen said increased use of nontargeted NIR spectroscopy "will definitely be able to save us from many forms of food modification that could be of more or less serious kinds — from receiving lower-quality products to becoming seriously ill."
Light-reflectance spectroscopy evaluates surgical margins
Emerging as a formidable tool in the life sciences, light-reflectance spectroscopy could enable real-time tissue analysis during prostate cancer surgery, as well as more accurate distinction between malignant and benign tissue.
A team from the University of Texas Southwestern Medical Center, in a study of patients with intermediate- to high-risk disease requiring radical prostatectomy, employed a novel light-reflectance spectroscopy probe to evaluate surgical margins on radical prostatectomy tissue specimens and correlate the findings with pathological examination. Light-reflectance spectroscopy analysis was performed on 17 prostate gland specimens, of which a total of 11 histologically positive and 22 negative surgical margins were measured. The optical probe predicted positive surgical margins with 85 percent sensitivity, 86 percent specificity and 86 percent accuracy.
Light-reflectance spectroscopy measures light intensity backscattered from tissues. In prostate cancer patients, a radical prostatectomy — a procedure that entails removal of the prostate gland and some of the surrounding tissue — is often recommended. But due to the amount of time involved with traditional techniques and the lack of proven clinical usefulness, analysis to determine removal of all cancer surrounding the visible tumor's edges is not routinely performed during surgery.
The benefits of the light-reflectance spectroscopy procedure, once fully qualified, could include highly accurate surgical removal of all cancerous tissue, the researchers said, as well as the ability to spare more healthy tissue, thus minimizing the likelihood of cancer recurrence or need for additional treatment. Further study is required, however, according to UT Southwestern professor Dr. Jeffrey Cadeddu, "to determine whether such analysis may be used in real time to improve surgical decision-making and decrease the amount of tissue surgeons need to remove."
The emission of light or other electromagnetic radiation of longer wavelengths by a substance as a result of the absorption of some other radiation of shorter wavelengths, provided the emission continues only as long as the stimulus producing it is maintained. In other words, fluorescence is the luminescence that persists for less than about 10-8 s after excitation.

Being of a non-poetic sort of disposition, I'm not qualified to speak at length on the merits of Tennyson or make comparisons between the writers. I must leave the heavy spade work to others, such as Inge Leimberg, who has written a detailed comparison of Plum's A Damsel in Distress and Tennyson's Maud in an excellent piece entitled: Across the pale parabola of Joy": Wodehouse Parodist.
My own favourite Wodehouse 'tribute' to Tennyson is 'Trouble Down at Tudsleigh' (in Young Men In Spats), in which Freddie Widgeon attempts to impress the beautiful April Carroway by brushing up on his Tennyson. The story is littered with Tennyson references, which have been helpfully documented in the ever-brilliant Madam Eulalie annotations. The story was delightfully adapted for television as part of the Wodehouse Playhouse series (further evidence that Wodehouse can be successfully adapted for screen) with John Alderton giving a memorable performance of Freddie Widgeon quoting Tennyson: 'de-da de-da, de-da de-da, the Lady of Shallott' .
The first line is reminiscent of both Psmith (who addresses everyone 'comrade') and Aunt Charlotte's rousing 'A-hunting-we-will-go' in The Mating Season.
But tempted though I am to wade deeper into Tennyson's work in search of Wodehouse, I find my eyes glaze over and my pulse grows weak. Upon discovering a 'jaundiced eye', in about the two-hundred and thirty eighth stanza of Locksley Hall, I am a mere shadow of my former self, incapable of even a whispered 'Ho!' Now, more than ever, I feel the pathos of Freddie Widgeon's ordeal in 'Trouble Down at Tudsleigh', traversing that fine line between comedy and tragedy.
Brilliant. An excellent tribute to both Wodehouse and Tennyson!
Thanks old sport. I appreciate it. Are you a Tennyson fan?
One merely aspires for that exalted status.
I enjoyed your last poem.
Burnishing the dove is just one of the phrases which comes under the investigative lens of Plumtopia in this poast.


H. l. washingtoniensis (named by Audubon, 1827) is the northern subspecies. It is larger than the southern kind, leucocephalus. It is found in the northern United States, Canada, and Alaska. The bald eagle looks a lot like the Eurasian white-tailed eagle. These species both have white heads of the same size, although the white-tailed eagle has a more pale feather color. The pair probably parted into two at the North Pacific. The white-tailed eagle is in Eurasia, and the bald eagle is in North America.
The bald eagle flies very fast. It can move at speeds of 56–70 kilometers per hour (35–43 mph) when gliding or flapping its wings. However, when it is carrying fish, it flies about 48 kilometers each hour. Its dive speed is 120–160 kilometers per hour (75–99 mph), though it does not dive a lot. The bald eagle is usually migratory, which means that it travels (migrates) between homes which are very far away from each other. In some places, bald eagles are not migratory. If a bald eagle's territory has water near by, it will remain there all year. But if the water where it lives freezes in the winter, it must migrate to the south or to the coast to find something to eat.
