Abstract Multiview representations reveal the fundamental attributes of the studied instances from different perspectives. Some common perspectives are reviewed by multiple views simultaneously, while some specific ones are reflected by individual views. That is, there are two kinds of properties embedded in the multiview data: 1) consistency and 2) complementarity. Different from most multiview learning approaches only focusing on either consistency or complementarity, this paper proposes a novel semisupervised multiview learning algorithm, called partially shared latent factor (PSLF) learning, which jointly exploits both consistent and complementary information among multiple views. In PSLF, a nonnegative matrix factorization (NMF)-based formulation is adopted to learn a compact and comprehensive partially shared latent representation, which is composed of common latent factors shared by multiple views and some specific latent factors to each view. With the learned representations of multiview data, we introduce a robust sparse regression model to predict the cluster labels of labeled data. By integrating the NMF-based model and the regression model, we obtain a unified formulation and propose a multiplicative-based alternative algorithm for optimization. In addition, PSLF can learn the weights of different views adaptively according to the reconstruction precisions of data matrices. Our experimental study indicates different multiview data that contains consistent and complementary information in different degrees. In addition, the encouraging results of the proposed algorithm are achieved in comparison with the state-of-the-art algorithms on real-world data sets.

This is a true story
Published by admin under Companies,Europe,Top Stories
Every blog about SA business people in Europe has to report this story.
It's a true story about a man and a team. Check it out.
It's the IAM story.
Two SA asset managers to work for charity
Two SA-born asset management companies are among a group of twelve asset managers which have banded together for charity.
Investec Asset Management and Old Mutual Asset Managers have joined forces with Artemis, Aviva Investors, Axa Investment Managers, BNY Mellon, F&C, Ignis, Invesco Perpetual, JP Morgan, Martin Currie and Threadneedle to launch a unique multi-manager vehicle, called Invest & Give Fund, and which will donate a proportion of the management fee it earns to charity.
The annual fee of the fund is 2.25% and 0.6% of this will be donated to The Prince's Trust, a youth charity which has given 600,000 young people the skills and qualifications to find a job since its launch in 1976, reported Portfolio-Advisor.com.
The fund is the first of its kind to be eligible for Gift Aid, which equates to an additional 28p for every £1 that the charity receives from investors in the fund.
The responsibility for managing the fund fell to North Investment Partners' John Husselbee. He will invest across asset classes and regions with an aim to achieve long term capital growth, wrote Portfolio-Advisor.com.
Former Conservative cabinet minister The RT Hon the Lord Young of Graffham, president of The Prince's Trust Patrons Network and chairman of the Invest & Give Advisory Committee, said: "For the very first time Invest & Give will align the interests of the City, individual investors and the community in an endeavour that will produce, over and above the usual returns because it will help young people back to work through the work of The Prince's Trust. Invest & Give is setting a challenge to the financial community by creating a socially responsible investment and I hope that this will be but the first of many such funds in the years to come."
The fund will sit in the IMA Balanced Managed sector. The standard initial charge is 2%, though an offer period – with the initial charge discounted to 1% – will run until 17 August. The minimum investment is £1,000.
By the short and curlies…
…that's where Orsu Metals Corporation and Central African Gold (CAG) seem to have Investec Bank and Investec Asset Management, if I understand the facts right.
Both mining companies owe Investec money, both are in default and both seem to be putting pressure on their moneylenders for better terms and/or more money (going by the statements on their websites). At least one "threatens" liquidation, if Investec doesn't "cooperate".
The banks and Orsu haven't yet come to an agreement on the way forward. Read all about that here.
Investec Bank, Investec Asset Management (IAM) and CAG have found a "potential solution", ie. the placement of shares**. And they've found potential takers. Should something go wrong at the last minute (eg. at the shareholders' meeting), Investec can throw more money at the problem, or lose what it's got in the company (IAM holds 13.5% in CAG and Investec has an outstanding loan capped at $5 million).
The shareholder meeting is scheduled for 20 April. That's when we'll know whether CAG has let go of the short and curlies…
** More background info comes from the CAG website (warning: it's in Legalese):
The Board announced today that, subject to Shareholder approval, the Company proposes to raise approximately £5.7 million, before expenses by issuing 565,970,992 new Ordinary Shares at a price of 1.00 penny per share.
The net proceeds of the Placing will enable the Company to satisfy its remaining obligations to repay Investec Bank and, together with the funds anticipated to be received from the proposed disposal of the Malian assets, provide the working capital necessary for the Directors to enhance the value of the Company's remaining assets in Zimbabwe and Botswana.
In the event that the Malian assets are not sold, the Board will have to explore alternative sources of funding and/or review the level of investment in Zimbabwe, in order to fund the payment to Investec Asset Management and ECP Africa under the New Loan Agreements.
The Directors expect the working capital provided by the Placing and the sale of the Malian assets will be sufficient to fund the restarting of gold production in Zimbabwe, so far as is appropriate given prevailing Zimbabwean economic and political considerations, and to evaluate the prospecting projects in Botswana, after the repayment of the Investec Bank Debt.
On 8 July 2008, the Board announced that, in addition to $6.94 million raised from ECP and Investec Asset Management in the form of convertible loans, the Company required a further $10.0 million of funds, which it intended to raise via an equity placing to be undertaken in August 2008.
However, on 25 September 2008, in the Interim Results Statement of the Company for the period ended on 30 June 2008, the Board announced that, as a result of the general market turbulence, including a volatile gold price and weak and deteriorating equity markets, the Board had decided to conduct a more wide ranging review of funding options, including examining options for a capital injection aimed at maximising shareholder returns.
Unfortunately, the Board was unable to identify a suitable option and, on 12 November 2008, the Company's shares were suspended from trading on AIM pending clarification of the Company's financial position and the requirement for further short and medium term funding to enable the Company to continue operating. The Company's shares have remained suspended from this date.
Following this announcement, Greg Hunter, the then Chief Executive of the Company, resigned and the role of Chief Executive was assumed by Roy Pitchford, one of the then Non Executive Directors, who had served on the Board since January 2004.
On 4 December 2008, the Company announced that, in common with a number of other mining operators in Zimbabwe, its subsidiaries had ceased all operations in Zimbabwe due to the adverse political and economic climate, but the Group would continue to maintain its assets there, to the extent practicable.
On 14 January 2009, the Company announced that its then 100 per cent. owned subsidiary, CAG Ghana, had received a notice of default (the "Notice of Default") from Investec Bank regarding the non-payment of monies due on the Investec Bank project loan facility agreement (the "PLFA"), and the non-payment of monies due under various gold forward transaction agreements (the "HFA") with Investec Bank.
The Notice of Default required that CAG Ghana repay the full amounts outstanding under the PLFA, which totalled approximately $20.92 million, and the monies due, if any, under the HFA. In addition, Investec Bank invoked a power of attorney, which it had been granted by CAG under the terms of a charge entered into between Investec Bank and the Company on 30 January 2007 as part of the agreement to secure the funding for CAG Ghana under the PLFA. The charge was created over the entire issued share capital of CAG Ghana and therefore, once Investec Bank had invoked the power of attorney, it was able to transfer all 90,000 CAG Ghana shares in issue and held by the Company to Investec Bank.
Consequently, Investec Bank became the legal owner of the Bibiani gold mine through its holding of the entire issued share capital of CAG Ghana.
In November 2007, in order to secure an additional facility amount for CAG Ghana, CAG had entered into a guarantee with Investec Bank (the "Guarantee"). On 15 January 2009, the Board received notification from Investec Bank that, under the terms of the Guarantee, it sought to recoup from CAG all of the outstanding monies due from CAG Ghana, save for those monies due under the HFA which were not covered by the Guarantee. However, it was the Board's view that CAG was liable for no more than $5.0 million (plus any capitalised interest which may be due to be paid) to Investec Bank under the PLFA and the HFA.
On 10 February 2009, the Company announced that it had entered into a legally binding agreement with Investec Bank under the terms of which any liability which it had towards Investec Bank would be capped at $5.0 million. The Company undertook to pay Investec Bank this sum by 18 March 2009 (the "Payment Deadline"), but as at the date of this announcement, has not done so.
As a result of the time required to arrange the proposed Placing and the necessary EGM notice period, the proposed Placing is expected to be completed on 22 April 2009, a few weeks after the Payment Deadline, after such date any outstanding amount of the Investec Bank Debt shall incur cash pay interest of three per cent per annum above LIBOR. This means that an additional amount of interest of approximately $17,000 will also be due to be paid to Investec Bank under the terms of the agreement.
The Board has decided that the Placing is the most expeditious route by which the necessary funds can be raised in order to meet the remaining liability to Investec Bank and, together with the sale of the Malian assets, to provide the Company with sufficient working capital to maximise the value from its remaining assets for the benefit of Shareholders as a whole.
Details of the Placing
The Company has conditionally placed 565,970,992 Placing Shares with ECP Africa and HBD at the Placing Price to raise net proceeds of approximately £5.7 million, before total costs of approximately £0.5 million.
ECP Africa is a Mauritian public company limited by shares which makes investments in companies operating in Africa. ECP Africa is managed by ECP Manager LP, a limited partnership organised under the State of Delaware which has offices in Tunis, Casablanca, Abidjan, Lagos, Douala, Johannesburg and Washington District of Colombia).
ECP Africa currently holds the beneficial interest in 17.91 per cent. of the Existing Ordinary Shares. Following completion of the Placing, ECP Africa's expected holding in the Enlarged Share Capital will be 42.56 per cent. On completion of the Proposals and Admission, ECP Africa's expected holding in the Resulting Share Capital will be approximately 50.02 per cent.
HBD is a private investment company, whose shares are beneficially held by an individual shareholder, registered in the Isle of Man and has no current shareholding in the Company.
Following completion of the Placing, HBD's expected holding in the Enlarged Share Capital will be 38.41 per cent. On Completion of the Proposals and Admission, HBD's expected holding in the Resulting Share Capital will be approximately 28.18 per cent.
The City Code does not apply to the Company. Therefore, while the number of shares held by each of HBD and ECP Africa following completion of the Placing will be greater than 29.99 per cent. of the Company's issued share capital, there will be no requirement for HBD or ECP to make a mandatory offer to all other Shareholders, as would be the case if the City Code applied.
The Placing Shares will, on Admission, be credited as fully paid and rank pari passu in all respects with the Existing Ordinary Shares, including the right to receive all dividends and other distributions declared, made or paid on the Ordinary Shares after that date.
The Placing Shares represent approximately 331.27 per cent. of the Existing Ordinary Shares, 76.81 per cent. of the Enlarged Share Capital and 56.37 per cent. of the Resulting Share Capital. Application will be made to the London Stock Exchange for the Placing Shares to be admitted to trading on AIM. It is expected that, conditional upon the passing of the Resolutions at the EGM, dealings in the Placing Shares and the Conversion Shares will commence on 22 April 2009. Also, on this date the Suspension is expected to be lifted. An announcement will be released, via RNS, to confirm that this has occurred.
On Admission, the Company will have a market capitalisation of approximately £10.0 million, based on the Placing Price of 1.00 penny per Ordinary Share, assuming no exercise of warrants or options between the date of this announcement and Admission, but assuming that the Conversion takes place.
Reasons for the Placing and Future Strategy
As stated above, the primary reason for the Placing is to raise sufficient funds to meet the Investec Bank Debt and, along with the proceeds from the sale of the Malian assets, to provide sufficient working capital for the Company to continue to enhance the value of its assets in Zimbabwe and Botswana.
If the Placing is not successfully completed, the Board believes it is highly likely that the Company will become insolvent, and insolvency proceedings, such as administration or liquidation, will be commenced.
IAM sees potential in currencies
Investec Asset Management (IAM) has strengthened its currency fund range. Read all about it here.
By actively managing currency, IAM seeks to generate returns of 2-3 percentage points above what investors would receive on money funds – an attractive proposition in this declining interest rate environment.
"Investors who have recently divested a portion of their portfolios and are currently sitting in cash may look to make their money work a little harder by using our GSF Currency Alpha Fund," said David Aird, managing director for UK distribution at IAM.
IAM "brother" ready to pounce
Now, where have I heard this song before? From today's Wealth Bulletin:
Steve Elliott, chief executive of Rensburg Sheppards, one of the UK's listed wealth advisers with around £10bn of assets under management, has signalled his interest in making acquisitions. Investec owns 48% of Rensburg Sheppards.
Ahh, here. And then the water got a little choppy.
Two SA managers conquer Europe
I missed this bit of news early in November. Should nevertheless be on my blog and no better time than now.
It's about awards for management excellence won by two South African managers in Europe. Go here to see who I'm talking about.
IAM targets Japanese investors
Shinsei Bank, a bank in Japan, will help Investec Asset Management (IAM) market the IAM managed rand-denominated money market fund called The Horizon Trust in Japan.
According to this report, the Japanese might be attracted by the high interest rates earned by money market funds in SA (relative to what are on offer in Japan).
Japanese investors will be exposed to the currency risk, however. Let's hope they don't read my blog.

The Britlift telescopic spreader beam is the perfect solution for quick adjustment! Built to order.
Slightly heavier than a modular equivalent, a telescopic spreader beam allows for quick sliding adjustment between lengths and adjustment points can be as little as 50mm apart giving a huge amount of flexibility. This spreader beam is ideal for projects/users where multiple and regular size adjustments are required and saves time over the modular (bolted) equivalent.
Adjustment holes can be drilled anywhere you like, between 50mm – 1000mm apart for maximum flexibility.
Please contact Britlift for a quote and/or if you requirements fall outside of the above parameters.


Keep up-to-date with the latest conditions on the Trail.
to be prepared for the unexpected.
BE PREPARED FOR WINTRY CONDITIONS IN SPRING ON THE A.T.
Although the calendar marks the first day of spring in late March, spring lags far behind in the Appalachian Mountains, especially at higher elevations.
Periods of snow, ice, and sub-freezing temperatures can occur well into April almost everywhere on the Trail. Sometimes these conditions occur after a period of warm, sunny days. Substantial snowfall, which makes hiking, camping and even navigation considerably more difficult, is possible in the South at the highest elevations in April.
Access roads at high elevations may be impassible to passenger cars. Other roads, such as Skyline Drive or the Blue Ridge Parkway in Virginia, may be closed.
Temperatures can drop below freezing in May as well. In New Hampshire and Maine, snow can linger at the highest elevations until June. Remember that elevation has a powerful effect on weather and climate. For more information on these and other environmental considerations on the Appalachian Trail, click here.
Recent storms and hurricanes that included ice, high winds, or heavy and prolonged rains have created hazards from damaged or unstable trees due to saturated soils. These will remain a concern in many areas for some time. Dead and diseased trees and limbs can be present under any conditions. Campers need to be extremely vigilant about inspecting overnight sites for trees and limbs around and above them that could fall, even in completely still conditions. Be vigilant about your surroundings and stay safe.
Improper food storage can lead to human/bear conflicts on the A.T. Carry a bear-resistant personal food storage container to reduce negative human/bear interactions and keep you, your food, and bears safe when camping on the A.T. For more information, visit our black bear page. Please use the Bear Incident Report Form form to report any bear incidents. Your report will help reduce human/bear conflicts on the A.T.
Although trailhead areas are generally safe, vandalism or car break-ins can potentially occur at any remote trailhead. Never leave valuables visible in your vehicle. Recent incidents and areas with ongoing problems are noted below. For more tips and a list of areas with known incidents for the last several years, visit the vandalism section of our Transportation & Parking page.
This link provides listing of changed or new services for hikers along the Trail or in A.T. communities since the 2019 A.T. Thru-Hikers' Companion was published.
See below for a state-by-state listing for more details and updates.
A U.S. Forest Service rule requires an approved bear-resistant canister for overnight camping on a 5-mile stretch of the A.T. in the Chattahoochee National Forest between Jarrard Gap and Neel Gap, between March 1 and June 1 each year. This stretch is located between points 26.7 and 31.7 miles north of the southern terminus of the A.T. at Springer Mountain, Georgia, and includes Woods Hole Shelter, Slaughter Creek Campsite, and Blood Mountain Shelter. Bear canisters should be used to store food, food containers, garbage and toiletries. Canisters must be commercially made and constructed of solid, non-pliable material manufactured for the specific purpose of resisting entry by bears. For more information, see the Supervisor's Order here or call the Chattahoochee - Oconee National Forest at (770) 297-3000.
Alerts for the Nantahala National Forest portion of the A.T. (from the Georgia/North Carolina border to the Great Smoky Mountains National Park can be found here.
Due to a number of close and serious bear encounters in Panthertown and along the Appalachian Trail, the Nantahala Ranger District is strongly recommending that backcountry campers use bear-proof containers for all food and scented items.
(Updated 10/01/18) While most areas with hurricane damage have been cleared, hikers are advised that hazards will remain even if all the blowdowns have been cleared. It takes a long time for conditions to stabilize after the serious weather events we've seen this year. Be very careful in choosing places to camp, including at or in shelters. Look up and around out to a couple of tree lengths in distance to be sure your shelter or campsite is not threatened by broken limbs, widow makers or leaning or damaged trees.
Monitor updates on the park's Alerts Page. For a full list of road and facility closures and warnings throughout the park, click here. Weather-related road and facility closures may change throughout the day. For updated road and weather information please call (865) 436-1200. Once you hear a voice, dial extension 631 for road information or extension 630 for a weather forecast.
Every year problematic bear activity has been reported at some overnight sites and trailheads in the park. Hikers must use the food storage cables provided at all backcountry campsites in the park. Plan ahead to avoid closed campsites or shelter sites and always store food and smellables properly. Click here for more information about bears in the backcountry.
A backcountry permit must be obtained for overnight stays before entering the Great Smoky Mountains National Park, and a $4 per person fee will be required for each night in the backcountry. Backcountry permits can be obtained up to 30 days in advance. Hikers who meet the definition of an Appalachian Trail thru-hiker (those who begin and end their hike at least 50 miles outside the park and only travel on the A.T. in the park) are eligible for a thru-hiker permit of $20 (valid for 38 days from the date issued for an up to 8 day hike through the Park). Permits are available at www.smokiespermits.nps.gov. You may also obtain a permit in person at the park's Backcountry Office (at the Sugarlands Visitor Center near Gatlinburg, TN) or over the phone; with permits issued by fax, mail or email. Hikers staying overnight in the backcountry are required to have a printed copy of the permit.
For more information, visit www.nps.gov/grsm/planyourvisit/backcountry-camping.htm or call (865) 436-1297.
Do not park overnight: This location has a history of vandalism and car thefts. Park at Big Creek Ranger Station in seasons when rangers are present.
Hikers should use caution near Watauga Dam as bears are active in this area; hikers should be alert for and keep a respectful distance from bear(s) with cubs.
Watauga Lake Shelter closed to all entry due to bear activity.
No picnicking, lingering or overnight camping. Hiking the Appalachian Trail only. BEARS ACTIVE IN THIS AREA. Please continue through the area without stopping. Camping Closure Order: National Forest System lands Oliver Hollow Rd. to Wilbur Dam; closed to camping until further notice.
There is a long-standing recommendation by the local A.T. maintaining club to avoid parking at this location.
(Revised 10/2/2018) The USDA Forest Service has reopened the portions of the A.T. in the Mt. Rogers NRA High Country (Elk Garden/VA-600 to Fox Creek/VA-603, mile 494.3 to 511.3) that had been temporarily closed to camping due to bear activity. Since the time of the closure on August 30, the Forest Service and partner agencies have monitored the area and have seen no further issues with black bear activity and human encounters. However, habituated bears may still be active in the area, so visitors should remain alert.
All campers should carry and store their food in bear canisters or store their food in established bear boxes or electric fences out of bears reach. Bear boxes are located at Thomas Knob Shelter, Wise Shelter, and near the A.T. just west of Rhododendron Gap on the Crest Trail. Electric fences are located near Rhododendron Gap. Additional bear boxes will be installed soon.
Visitors are advised to use all precautions to avoid attracting bears during their visit. This is especially important during the fall season when bears are in search of food to prepare for winter.
The Forest Service is continuing to work with the Virginia Department of Game and Inland Fisheries, Grayson Highlands State Park, the National Park Service, the Appalachian Trail Conservancy, and Mount Rogers Appalachian Trail Club to evaluate options to address the human-bear conflict issue.
The Trail between Damascus and VA Rt. 16 at Mt. Rogers NRA Headquarters has a long history of vehicle break-ins and thefts.
Blue Ridge Parkway Real Time Road Open-Close Status (this does not necessarily correlate with trail conditions for A.T. sections in the vicinity).
Blue Ridge Parkway Facebook Page - Check here for additional updates. A.T. conditions may differ from the nearest parkway conditions.
A 0.7-mile section of the A.T. has been temporarily relocated due to damage to the lower Brown Mountain Creek bridge. The relocation is blazed and signed at both ends. The relocation is approximately 0.1 shorter, on an old roadbed. The bridge is expected to be replaced in 2020.
(6/29/18) A.T. hikers should be alert for construction-related activity in the vicinity of Pocahontas Road (mile 640.9) and Symms Gap Meadow (mile 648.3), on Peters Mountain north of Pearisburg, VA. The Appalachian Trail will remain open during construction of the Mountain Valley Pipeline. Parking at the junction of Clendennin Road/Va. 641 and Pocahontas Road (mile 640.8) is more limited than usual, and hikers may be approached by a security guard with information about construction activities.
(Updated 4/22/19) The historic wayside, located at Skyline Drive Milepost 51, A.T. mile 926.2 from Springer Mtn. (0.9 east of the A.T.), which offers meals, groceries, and other services, is undergoing comprehensive renovation and rehabilitation.
The campstore at the Wayside is now expected to open the second week of May. For thru-hikers and campers in need of camping supplies and groceries, the Lewis Mountain campstore, located 7.8 miles south of Big Meadows (by trail) is currently open for the season. Due to delays caused by winter weather, other services such as meals provided at this facility (which was scheduled to re-open March 29) could remain closed as late as May 15, 2019. The gas pumps will still be accessible but no parking will be available. Additional info can be found here.
(4/22/19) Skyline Drive is currently open in the north and central districts and the south district through Skyline Drive Mile 80. Be mindful that winter weather can still persist well into April and additional closures are possible. The best way to check on the status of Skyline Drive is to call 540-999-3500, option 1, option 1.
(4/22/19) The Skyline Drive in the South District from mile 80 to mile 105 has remained closed since November due to downed trees on the roadway; be aware that rescue efforts will be severely impacted by the 25-mile road closure of this section of the Drive that will likely remain after snow and ice melts and other sections of the Drive re-open. For more information on park alerts and updates, click here.
(Updated 12/10/18) About one mile of the A.T. has been temporarily relocated in the southern section of the park due to construction in a powerline right-of-way. Starting approximately 1/4 mile north of the Calf Mountain Shelter side trail (mile 870.7) and rejoining the A.T. where it crosses dirt Jarmans Gap Road (mile 871.7) this detour uses two dirt roads and is signed at both ends and at several places along its length. Hikers are urged to stay on the detour as a portion of it crosses private property. Hikers may be delayed for up to 15 minutes at both boundaries of the right-of-way corridor for safety reasons during construction activities. The detour is expected to be in place until May of 2019.
There has been increased bear activity reported in the park, especially at lean-tos (called "huts" in Shenandoah National Park) with a heightened potential for encounters with wildlife. Habituated bears have sometimes learned to associate tents and backpacks with food, so if you do stay there, be especially diligent about properly storing food and toiletries with scents, leaving no crumbs or wrappers in your tent or backpack, and do not leave your pack unattended.

(10/26/2018) Sandy Hook Road (which provides access to trailhead parking for the Maryland Heights Trail near the A.T./C&O Towpath Junction across from Harpers Ferry) has re-opened. Debris removal from a landslide that occurred above the road this spring has been completed, but slope stabilization will still be required. People traveling on the road adjacent to the landslide area should exercise caution. More information can be found at www.nps.gov/hafe/learn/management/md-hgts-landslide.htm.
(4/22/19) The PA Game Commission plans to conduct a 272-acre prescribed burn on a portion of state game lands 305 this spring sometime between late April and mid-May, 2019. The burn location is adjacent to the Appalachian Trail in the vicinity of Center Point Knob and Alec Kennedy Shelter approximately 3.5 miles south of Boiling Springs, PA. The A.T. will remain open, however hikers in the area at the time of the burn will likely experience smokey conditions.
(4/22/19) The PA Game Commission plans to conduct a 726-acre prescribed burn on state game lands 211 between late April and June 1, 2019. The "Beaver Dam" burn unit is located directly adjacent to, and northeast of, the A.T. near Rausch Gap Shelter, approximately 4.5 miles south of Swatara State Park. The A.T. will remain open, but due to the close proximity of the burn, hikers will likely experience smoky conditions.
(4/8/2019) The store, located in Pine Grove Furnace State Park, re-opens on weekends for the season on 4/11/2019.
(updated 4/22/19) The Antietam Shelter (mile 1073.5 from Springer Mtn., GA) is now slated to be removed sometime in early May.
(1/24/19) The branch of the Susquehanna Trail (just north of the Susquehanna River) that follows an old logging road onto private property adjacent to the A.T. corridor has been closed to public access. Hikers should remain on the shorter branch that starts above the Clarks Ferry Bridge and rejoins the A.T. about 1/4 mile south of the Clarks Ferry Shelter.
(Re-confirmed 4/22/19) Due to an unrepairable leak, the hydrant at the ATC Scott Farm Trail Work Center, adjacent to the Conodoguinet Creek Bridge (mile 1133.0) has been shut off and no public drinking water at this location is available.
(10/18/18) The footpath along Conococheague Creek was damaged by recent flooding and is currently closed. Please follow the marked detour.
(Updated 10/22/18) While some trails remain closed due to recent storm damage, portions of Swatara State Park have re-opened. Long-distance hikers should be able to follow the A.T. through the park. For more information, click here.
(6/11/18) The footpath approximately 9/10 of a mile north of Rausch Gap Shelter has flooded due to beaver activity on Haystack Creek. About 150 feet are under water - hikers should expect to wade here for the foreseeable future.

(4/9/15-present) Remedial activities associated with the revegetation of Blue Mountain are currently being conducted near the A.T. between Lehigh Gap and Little Gap as part of the Palmerton Zinc Pile Superfund Site. The Appalachian Trail and blue-blaze Winter Trail will remain open during these activities. Occasional truck traffic will occur on the administrative access road that parallels the A.T. Hikers are advised to stay on the A.T. and not use the road.
Fluorescent Orange Requirement Nov. 15 - Dec 15: On state game lands in Pennsylvania (much of the A.T. between the Susquehanna River and Delaware Water Gap--roughly the northern 2/3 of the state), all hunters and non-hunters are required to wear at least 250 square inches of fluorescent orange material on the head, chest and back combined, or a fluorescent orange hat, from Nov. 15 to Dec. 15 (except on Sundays). The orange material must be visible from all angles (360 degrees). For more information about hunting safety along the A.T. visit www.appalachiantrail.org/hunting.
Camping Regulations: Only thru-hikers (defined as those "walking the Appalachian Trail from point of beginning to an exit, which is not the place of beginning") may camp on Pennsylvania Game Commission lands, and these hikers must camp within 200 ft of A.T. and at least 500 ft from a spring, stream or public access area.
(3/31/19) The Delaware Water Gap National Recreation Area is planning a series of prescribed fires in the coming weeks. Because certain conditions are necessary for these to take place, it isn't possible to precisely schedule them. The areas to be burned include approximately 40 acres of grasses, shrubs, and woodlands on the New Jersey side of the Recreation Area along Mountain Road near Walpack Center. Smoke from these fire will likely be visible from the A.T. in the north end of the Recreation Area and the south end of Stokes State Forest.
(5/6/16 to present) Hikers are urged to obey the No Parking signs on Rt. 517. Parking along 517 is very limited and cars parked in the No Parking zone have been ticketed recently.
(Updated 12/20/2018) The well at this campsite has been closed due to microbial contamination and will remain in effect until further notice.
(12/4/2018) A car break-in was reported at the trailhead parking area at Ct. 55 (mile 1,457.6) around 11/10/2018.

The Shaker Campsite (mile 153.3 north of Springer) sees regular bear activity. The bears have not been aggressive, but are not frightened away by human activity. Hikers are advised to immediately place their food and other odoriferous items into the bear box at the campsite upon arrival, and to prepare and cook food away from their tents.
Hikers are asked to avoid hiking the A.T. in Vermont and other states in northern New England during April and May, when trail conditions are poor and trails are very susceptible to damage. For more information, see our Mud Season page, and visit the Green Mountain Club's blog post Mud Season Has Arrived! Help Protect Fragile Environments. During mud season, follow the Green Mountain Club Facebook page for updates.
Long-distance hikers who cannot change their plans are asked to walk in the middle of trail through the mud to avoid damaging the fragile edges of the Trail and widening the footpath. Snowshoes and traction devices may still be required in some areas. Tips on hiking in winter conditions that may still be present during this period be found here.
(4/18/2019) The Kennebec River is the most formidable unbridged crossing along the entire A.T. Do not attempt to ford the river. Please use the ferry service.
• The Kennebec is approximately 400 feet wide with a swift, powerful current.
• As a result of water releases from multiple hydro facilities on the river, the depth and current of the river surge quickly and unpredictably. You cannot cross faster than the water level rises!
• Even at the lowest water levels, slippery rocks and strong currents make fording dangerous. • Arrive early in the time period to ensure a safe and enjoyable crossing.
• If, in the judgment of the ferry operator, river or weather conditions make the crossing dangerous, the service will be discontinued until conditions improve.
• Hikers are required to complete and sign a release form, wear a life jacket, and follow instructions.
• Groups of 6 or more – call or email the Ferry Operator to schedule a crossing. Arrive early!
• Pending availability, service outside of the regular season (see above dates) may be arranged for a $50 fee per crossing (1 or 2 hikers). Please call or e-mail in advance to make arrangements. • No service will be available between November 1st and April 30th.
For more information and a schedule, view the Maine Appalachian Trail Club's Kennebec River Ferry page or download a flyer here.
(Updated 7/30/18) Everyone is welcome. Long-distance hikers are able to obtain information about the 2018 Baxter State Park hiker permit. Staff are available to help plan logistics for the 100 Mile Wilderness and Katahdin. Trail conditions posted daily. Community and day hike information also available.
(Updated 7/30/18) 2018 Appalachian Trail Long Distance Hiker Permit: A free A.T. long distance hiker permit will be required of all long distance A.T. hikers: Northbound Thru-Hikers (Nobos), Southbound Thru-Hikers (Sobos), Flip-Flop Thru-Hikers and Section-hikers.
Long distance A.T. hikers must obtain a permit card in person at Baxter State Park Headquarters or Katahdin Stream Campground when the A.T. (Hunt Trail) opens for hiking. Once hikers obtain a permit card they will need to have it stamped at the Katahdin Stream Ranger Station.
The number of AT-Hiker Permit Cards for 2018 are limited by a Baxter State Park quota: 3150 A.T. hikers. If all available permit cards have been issued for 2018, "The Birches" long distance hiker campsite will close for the year. Hikers may complete their hike by obtaining a Day Use Parking Reservation (DUPR) or campground reservation (cannot be processed via smartphone) and enter the Park through the Togue Pond Gate.
Hikers staying overnight within the park boundary must camp at designated sites; reservations are necessary for overnight sites for all hikers except those who have arrived on foot walking more than 100 miles. (Southbound thru-hikers should plan on making reservations for at least the night following their climb of Katahdin, and possibly the night before). All overnight hikers must pay a camping fee whether a reservation is obtained in advance or not. For more information about camping in the park and climbing Katahdin, visit www.baxterstatepark.org and the Baxter State Park Facebook page.
It is being repaired only to the last house which is 3 miles short of the trailhead.

Hello Make it & Love it readers! Crystal here, from Stitched by Crystal, and today I am sharing a tutorial to sew a doll ring sling for your kids! Almost 3 months ago (has it really been that long?) we welcomed our third child. I was a bit worried about how my three year old would handle the transition, but she has done great! She is such a little helper and she went from playing superheroes and monster trucks with her big brother to playing with dolls overnight.
As a new mom of three, I stay pretty busy. I have found that baby carriers and slings are about the only way I can actually get things done around the house. When my three year old saw me carry my son in a ring sling for the first time, she wanted one immediately…"Mommy, you have that thing to snuggle brother in? I want one for my doll!" So, I made up a simple, smaller version of my ring sling for her.
She loves this thing! And it is so cute to see her toting her dolly or teddy around the house in it.
And the best part of baby (or dolly) wearing, is you are totally hands free. This means she can still play superheroes or monster trucks with her big brother if she wants, while still tending to her doll.
This sling works great for dolls, teddy bears, stuffed dogs, you name it! And it is really portable, too. The first few weeks with our new baby in the house she wanted to bring her doll stroller everywhere with us, now we can toss the ring sling in the diaper bag when she wants to bring her doll to Target (which she does every time we go)!
Want to make a ring sling for the little mommy or daddy in your house? Great! Let me show you how!
½ yard of fabric for the sling, both sides of the fabric will be visible so I chose this gingham that is the same on both sides. I used the whole piece of fabric which is 44" wide, this made a great length for my 3 year old's sling, but for a bigger child, you may want to choose a fabric that is 60" wide to make a longer sling.
Two 2"-3" rings. Round rings would work best, check the bag making section for rings or grab some metal binder clips, but in a pinch large D rings like I used will work too!
As I mentioned above I used the entire ½ yard cut of my fabric, it was 18" x 44".
Start by hemming one of the short ends of the fabric. Fold the end down ½" then another ½" and sew along the folded edge.
Next, hem the 2 long edges. You should now have three sides hemmed.
Fold the remaining unfinished edge over ½". Draw a line 3" from the fold as shown below.
Thread the end through both rings, line the folded edge up with the line you just drew.
Sew along the folded edge, I find this is easiest to do without pinning the fabric and just straightening out and sewing a couple inches at a time.
Sew a second row of stitches 3/8" from the first row.
Put the ring sling on your child just like an adult ring sling, with the rings over their shoulder and the sling behind their back, bring the tail through both rings then back down through just the bottom ring, get the doll in place and then tighten the sling a bit. To loosen the sling, lift up on the bottom ring.
Ta-da! Your sling is ready for doll carrying!
Love this! So cute! My girls love to play mommy and I'm sure will have tons of fun with this! Thanks for sharing!!
Thanks, Meg! I hope your girls love it!
Sorry for my english by I am a french creatrice. I didn't think this project cute. A girl is not born to be a mother.
I totally agree! This project is great for little boys OR girls. I encourage my daughter to play however she wants, she love trucks as much as dolls! She sees me being mommy an wants to be one too, so I encourage her imaginary play!
love this! thank you! sorry no caps. holding sleeping baby. his sisters will love this!

Speech in Symposium on "Infrastructure Development in Transport Sector in Nepal."
I am very honored to be invited in this symposium and pleased to learn about N-JAA, Nepal JSPS Alumnai Association. Since the members of this association have already had post-doctoral research experience in Japan, I can see the scholarly role this community can play in Nepal. I am also happy to note that members of NJAA, as I am personally aware of, have already made meaningful contributions in their respective field of expertise to build a New Nepal. I would like to extend my sincere gratitude to the organizer for this opportunity to be part of this important event.
I had been to Japan recently. Every time I have been there, the first thing that struck me is the world class infrastructure and services. The roads in Tokyo are clean; Japanese trains are known worldwide for their quality of services including punctualness. Bullet train was first introduced in Japan, which inspired other countries to follow. In my school days, we were taught about the devastation of Japan during the Second World War. It was quite amazing and inspirational too for developing countries to see Japan as one of the most advanced economy in the world. Japan is also a leader in technological innovation.
We know that rising up from the rubbles of War devastation was not an easy task. Japan is not endowed with natural resources rather is one of the countries with high vulnerability for natural disaster. All sections of Japanese society must work had to overcome these challenges. One of the strategies Japan followed is develop and utilize human resources. For this purpose education, research and innovation is most important. Here I can see the important role that an institution like Japan Society for Promotion of Science (JSPS) must have played in building modern Japan. I am in particular very happy to note that this event is being sponsored and supported by JSPS. I think this is a valuable opportunity to learn and get inspired from Japanese researchers and scientists. Let me express my personal gratitude for the goodwill and generosity of Japan towards a developing country like Nepal.
I am also happy to note that the theme of today's event 'development of transport infrastructure in Nepal' is very relevant both academically and practically. Given our diverse and difficult geographical terrains and vulnerable geological conditions, our engineers do not have a luxury of just following university text books or standard manual to resolve technical issues we confront in the process of building transport infrastructure. In recent years, loss of precious human life from road traffic accidents has remained as regular news in the newspapers. Just last weeks, we lost our former chief secretary and home minister in an unfortunate road accident. The following day, we have another sad news about public bus accident killing 20 peoples. There might be several factors responsible for such accident, but the poor road condition is obviously one of the major causes.
Japan has very similar terrain condition like ours; just about 15 percent of plain land, rest is hilly and mountain terrain. However, Japan is successful to build much safer roads even in hilly terrains. I am aware that this was possible only after big efforts made by Japanese engineers, researchers and scientists. They have been able to innovate special techniques and methods suited for local condition. Such as SABO, an indigenous Japanese technique for slope stability and land slide prevention, has significantly contributed to build safer and reliable roads. Here, our engineers and researchers can learn much from Japanese experience on such innovative techniques and methods.
I noticed that the technical session includes presentations from Japanese and Nepalese scholars on Tunnel technology. I am really impressed with the organizers for their thoughtfulness in choosing such a relevant sub-theme, the Tunneling. Though I do not have specialized knowledge on Tunnel Engineering, but as a student of Engineering, I can see the paramount role of tunnel science in building our infrastructure. All major infrastructure building works have to face, in one or other way, our difficult terrain. Roads, railway, hydropower or water supply projects need tunnels. But the tunnel engineering may need a bit advance knowledge beyond the conventional civil engineering. I believe Japan is a leader in tunnel engineering with valuable past experience on innovating techniques and institutionalizing them. I think we can learn much from Japanese experience in this area too. I am aware that first tunnel road project (Thankot tunnel) is under preparation with JICA assistance. I hope it will be successfully completed soon. In the process of building this tunnel, our engineers and experts will certainly enhance their technical know-how. NJAA and JSPS could be useful channel for promoting technology transfer related to tunnel engineering and other techniques for infrastructure techniques.
As a promoter of Naya Shakti (New Force) for building a prosperous Nepal within our own lifetime, I believe that development of transport infrastructure will play a decisive role in this historic mission. For this we will have to build a network of world class transport infrastructure along the East-West and North-South dimensions of the country. This will need latest technologies and technical manpower.
I wish that the event will run successful session and be successful in making contribution towards enhancing our knowledge in building transport infrastructure including tunnel engineering.

While America struggles to accommodate the tide of vehicles on the roads, the Dutch have a different problem entirely. Rather than worrying about road rage, they are worrying about lane rage as they deal with too many bicycles on the streets. While it sounds like a nice problem to have, it does raise real questions about how to accommodate bike traffic in a country where the number of bikes outnumbers the number of people.
In Amsterdam alone, nearly a half million people cycle every day, according to numbers released by the city council. The result is a number of traffic jams, lack of parking and, yes, even lane rage problems. In the Hague, 2,400 illegally parked bicycles have been confiscated by the city since August.
The Dutch have a long history of bicycle use, which fits naturally with The Netherland's flat landscape. Their network of bike lanes cross over 21,000 miles of road and includes its own system of traffic lights and road signs. While the system is great, it is also decidedly inadequate for the vast number of bicycles and mopeds using it.
The problem has resulted in everything from bicyclists losing track of their bike in a sea of parked bicycles to arguments and even accidents. A quarter of all deathly accidents in the Netherlands involve a bicyclist. Leaders convened in Utrecht to discuss solutions, which involve more parking spots and additional bike lanes. All told, it's a problem we'd be happy to have here in the US.
With Millions of Bikes on the Road, Dutch Cyclists Deal with Gridlock, Scarce Bike Parking and "Bike Rage"

L. Simpson, Bruce Albrecht and the Online Distributed Proofreading Team at http://www.pgdp.net THE PIRATES OF ERSATZ BY MURRAY LEINSTER Sometimes it seems nobody loves a benefactor ... particularly nobody on a well-heeled, self-satisfied planet. Grandpa always said Pirates were really benefactors, though.... Illustrated by Freas I It was not mere impulsive action when Bron Hoddan started for the planet Walden by stowing away on a ship that had come to his native planet to hang all his relatives. He'd planned it long before. It was a long-cherished and carefully worked out scheme. He didn't expect the hanging of his relatives, of course. He knew that they'd act grieved and innocent, and give proof that they were simple people leading blameless lives. They'd make their would-be executioners feel ashamed and apologetic for having thought evil of them, and as soon as the strangers left they'd return to their normal way of life, which was piracy. But while this was going on, Bron Hoddan stowed away on the menacing vessel. Presently he arrived at its home world. But his ambition was to reach Walden, so he set about getting there. It took a long time because he had to earn ship-passage from one solar system to another, but he held to his idea. Walden was the most civilized planet in that part of the galaxy. On Walden, Hoddan intended, in order (a) to achieve splendid things as an electronic engineer, (b) to grow satisfactorily rich, (c) to marry a delightful girl, and (d) end his life a great man. But he had to spend two years trying to arrange even the first. On the night before the police broke in the door of his room, though, accomplishment seemed imminent. He went to bed and slept soundly. He was calmly sure that his ambitions were about to be realized. At practically any instant his brilliance would be discovered and he'd be well-todo, his friend Derec would admire him, and even Nedda would probably decide to marry him right away. She was the delightful girl. Such prospects made for good sleeping. And Walden was a fine world to be sleeping on. Outside the capital city its spaceport received shipments of luxuries and raw materials from halfway across the galaxy. Its landing grid reared skyward and tapped the planet's ionosphere for power with which to hoist ships to clear space and pluck down others from emptiness. There was commerce and manufacture and wealth and culture, and Walden modestly admitted that its standard of living was the highest in the Nurmi Cluster. Its citizens had no reason to worry about anything but a supply of tranquilizers to enable them to stand the boredom of their lives. Even Hoddan was satisfied, as of the moment. On his native planet there wasn't even a landing grid. The few, battered, cobbled ships the inhabitants owned had to take off precariously on rockets. They came back blackened and sometimes more battered still, and sometimes they were accompanied by great hulls whose crews and passengers were mysteriously missing. These extra ships had to be landed on their emergency rockets, and, of course, couldn't take off again, but they always vanished quickly just the same. And the people of Zan, on which Hoddan had been born, always affected innocent indignation when embattled other spacecraft came and furiously demanded that they be produced. There were some people who said that all the inhabitants of Zan were space pirates and ought to be hung and compared with such a planet, Walden seemed a very fine place indeed. So on a certain night Bron Hoddan went confidently to bed and slept soundly until three hours after sunrise. Then the police broke in his door. They made a tremendous crash in doing it, but they were in great haste. The noise waked Hoddan, and he blinked his eyes open. Before he could stir, four uniformed men grabbed him and dragged him out of bed. They searched him frantically for anything like a weapon. Then they stood him against a wall with two stun-pistols on him, and the main body of cops began to tear his room apart, looking for something he could not guess. Then his friend Derec came hesitantly in the door and looked at him remorsefully. He wrung his hands. "I had to do it, Bron," he said agitatedly. "I couldn't help doing it!" Hoddan blinked at him. He was dazed. Things didn't become clearer when he saw that a cop had slit open his pillow and was sifting its contents through his fingers. Another cop was ripping the seams of his mattress to look inside. Somebody else was going carefully through a little pile of notes that Nedda had written, squinting at them as if he were afraid of seeing something he'd wish he hadn't. "What's happened?" asked Hoddan blankly. "What's this about?" Derec said miserably: "You killed someone, Bron. An innocent man! You didn't mean to, but you did, and ... it's terrible!" "Me kill somebody? That's ridiculous!" protested Hoddan. "They found him outside the powerhouse," said Derec bitterly. "Outside the Mid-Continent station that you—" "Mid-Continent? Oh!" Hoddan was relieved. It was amazing how much he was relieved. He'd had an unbelieving fear for a moment that somebody might have found out he'd been born and raised on Zan—which would have ruined everything. It was almost impossible to imagine, but still it was a great relief to find out he was only suspected of a murder he hadn't committed. And he was only suspected because his first great achievement as an electronic engineer had been discovered. "They found the thing at Mid-Continent, eh? But I didn't kill anybody. And there's no harm done. The thing's been running two weeks, now. I was going to the Power Board in a couple of days." He addressed the police. "I know what's up, now," he said. "Give me some clothes and let's go get this straightened out." A cop waved a stun-pistol at him. "One word out of line, and—pfft!" "Don't talk, Bron!" said Derec in panic. "Just

How To Simplify Your Big Move Without Sweating The Small Stuff?
So you have finally gotten that job that you have been trying so hard to get.
That is great news, but it also means that you will have to move across the country.
The only way to get everything moved and in time for you to start your new job you will need to hire a professional moving company.
They will lift the heavy burden of moving off of your shoulders.
Many people think that it costs more to hire a moving company, but in many cases, it doesn't.
This is especially true when you are moving across the country.
If you were to move alone, you would have to make multiple trips to fit everything into your vehicle and if you're moving a great distance that can get very expensive.
Gas prices are not cheap, and those miles can really add up.
If you have small children, you may even have to pay for a babysitter to watch your kids while you're packing and moving.
When you hire a moving company, you also get a lot of extra help, and you don't have to hire anyone to move the big and heavy items such as your piano or entertainment center that seem to be made of lead.
A moving company will supply workers who are skilled and trained to maneuver large items through narrow entryways, and they are also equipped what all of the necessary moving equipment such as ramps and dollies.
If you were to move on your own, you would have to either rent or buy those tools, and that can get pretty expensive.
It can really take the stress out of your move and especially if you are trying to get moved by a certain date.
You have enough to worry about, and there seems to be an endless list of things to do such as utility hookups and disconnect, change of address, and so on.
You don't have to worry about getting enough boxes or packing material or being physically able to handle the exhausting job of moving.
A moving company will often offer full service moving packages that will cover everything from packing to moving to unloading.
They are also going to be very careful so that you don't have to worry about your belongings getting broken.
They often offer some coverage in case anything were to break on the move.
If you were to move on your own and break something you get zero coverage.
You can also continue to work up until the day of the move, and you won't have to take extra time off of work which can get expensive.
You will also be able to fit everything into the van that Allied Van Lines provides in one go, and they will also handle the driving.
You don't have to worry about the hassle of renting a moving truck or having to figure out what size of truck to get.
You also don't have to worry about driving a huge truck through the city when you are used to driving a car.
Hiring a moving company can save you a lot of time and a full service moving company can also offer storage solutions so you can store your belongings for you.
You may need this service if you are going to be staying in a temporary place until you can get moved into a more permanent location and will save you a lot of time and hassle.
It's important to stay organized, so keep a master list of all of your belongings so that you will be able to find everything once you get moved.
Label your boxes to the rooms they need to go to and also keep items that you will need right away in your personal vehicle so they are easy to find.

Moffitt Doc Targets Cancer With Unique Radiation Therapy
Theresa Woods | Tuesday, January 31, 2012
Only heart disease claims more lives in the United States than cancer. The American Cancer Society estimates that in 2011, more than 1,500 people died each day from the disease. With these grim numbers in mind, researchers often work tirelessly at finding new treatments to give cancer patients a fighting chance.
Dr. Michael Tomblyn of the Moffitt Cancer Center is one of those researchers. At Moffitt, his reputation is growing for strategically tackling cancer on a patient-by-patient basis with the development of Systemic Targeted Radionuclide Therapy treatment.
Instead of attacking the entire body with chemotherapy as many cancer treatments do, this liquid radiation therapy attaches radiation to an antibody which then seeks out specific proteins on the surface of tumors to deliver a very targeted radiation. These radioimmunotherapy agents bind to the cancerous cells and release low-dose radiation to the area to decrease tumor size and eventually eradicate cancer in the body.
Unlike traditional chemotherapy and broadly delivered radiation, radioimmunotherapy has minimal side effects. There is no hair loss, and the nausea and fatigue experienced with the initial treatment generally decreases as the weeks pass.
With a new treatment that offers survival rates greater than standard chemotherapy as well as pain relief and manageable side effects, Tomblyn's new treatment may soon become a top choice for many cancer patients.
Individualized Treatment
"There are a number of different forms of liquid radiation,'' Tomblyn says. "The types that we use depend on the types of cancer that people have.''
Different drugs called "agents'' are used to deliver the radiation directly to the cancer site. There are agents that deliver radiation to solid tumors such as those found in prostate and lung cancer.
"We have patients with metastatic prostate cancer'' who experience extreme pain after failing with chemotherapy, Tomblyn says. "As long as they're on this drug, their pain is managed.'' Blood counts increase toward healthy levels, and side effects are reduced.
"People are living longer after this therapy, and they're also managing pain.''
Tomblyn says researchers are working toward radioimmunotherapy treatments for ovarian and breast cancers.
Lymphoma requires different treatment. Since lymphomas are multifocal, radiation must be delivered to multiple sites in the body. Radioimmunitherapy and agents like Zevalin and Bexxar are the best ways to target multiple sites, Tomblyn says.
For lymphoma, Tomblyn deems this treatment to be "extraordinarily effective. It's the most effective treatment for lymphoma, and yet it is drastically underutilized.''
A Survivor Speaks
Nancy McDougall of Zephyrhills, age 69, can testify to the effectiveness of radioimmunotherapy with Zevalin. Following a diagnosis of follicular lymphoma, she was given Rituxan treatments that kept her lymphoma-free for nearly a year and a half. After developing a node by her left ear, however, she was taken in for a biopsy and told that the cancer had returned.
"I was given two options,'' she says. ''The radiation, or a case-study.''
After Tomblyn explained the benefits of radioimmunotherapy, McDougall was convinced. The following week she was taken in for treatment.
"It was a one-time only infusion, and then I had blood work for only 9 weeks,'' she says. Initially McDougall was scheduled for weekly blood work for the entire 12-week course of the treatment, but after 9 weeks, her results showed such substantial improvement that the final three sessions were unnecessary.
"At 12 weeks, they did another CAT scan, and I was clear. I was declared lymphoma-free.''
The radioimmunotherapy treatment is expected to keep McDougall cancer-free for the next 5 to 10 years.
During the course of the treatment, McDougall experienced side effects that would be considered negligible by most chemotherapy patients.
"I did have some nausea for a couple weeks, but that subsided,'' she says. "Initially the main thing I experienced was severe fatigue. It got better as I went along. That was the main side effect.''
Now, McDougall is back to doing what she loves -- volunteering at a Christian school with 1st and 2nd graders.
"I have my life back. I have my strength back now.''
2012 could prove to be an excellent year for both Tomblyn and cancer research as a whole.
"A new drug called Alpharadin should be approved by the FDA this time next year,'' Tomblyn explains. "This is the first type of liquid radiation that not only gets rid of people's pain they have from cancer that has spread to the bone, but also targets the cancer.''
FDA approval would allow Tomblyn to offer Systemic Targeted Radionuclide Therapy as a primary treatment rather than a trial.
Over the next year, research will continue as Tomblyn searches for ways to target different types of cancer.

EPO validation
European patent validation: EPO signs pact with Tunisia
Jeremy Friday, July 04, 2014 No comments:
In a press release issued by the European Patent Office (EPO) and received by this blogger just five minutes ago, the EPO announced that its president, together with Kamel Ben Naceur, the Tunisian Minister for Industry, Energy and Mines, have put their signatures to an agreement on the validation of European patents for Tunisia.
Under the terms of the agreement,
"European patent applicants and proprietors will be able to validate the legal effects of their European patents and applications on Tunisian territory, even though Tunisia is not an EPO member state. Validated European patent applications and patents will have the same legal effect as Tunisian national applications and patents, and will be subject only to Tunisian patent legislation. The agreement has to be ratified before it can enter into force".
The media release adds that co-operation between the EPO and the Tunisian Patent Office (the National Standardisation and Industrial Property Institute, or INNORPI) goes back over ten years and has intensified since 2011. The chief co-operation activities are the training of INNORPI examiners in prior-art searching and in drafting written opinions on the patentability of applications filed directly with INNORPI. The EPO and INNORPI also co‑operate in the field of Tunisian patent document publication.


"Absolutely brilliant bag, after a week. The leather closures were very tight at first, but they have loosened up now. I've used several brands, and until this Domke were my favourite, so i'm looking now to get the Small Pro. They are expensive, but worth the price, and Castle Cameras had the sage one in stock, and it was £10 cheaper than anywhere else! It's my local camera store, and I feel very lucky!"

Раджас () або раджа-гуна — одна з якостей (гун) матеріальної природи в філософії санкх'ї, однієї з шести шкіл філософії індуїзму, гуна пристрасті або гуна діяльності. Якщо індивід чи елемент проявляє велику активність, пристрасть або збудження, така особистість чи елемент перебуває під впливом раджасу. Раджас протиставляється з одного боку  тамасу або тамо-гуні - якості бездіяльності, темряви, неуцтва й ліні, а з іншого боку якості саттви або саттва-гуні, яка характеризується чистотою, благочестям і умиротворенням.

Раджас проявляється в наступному:
 Діяльність, спрямована на результат
 Зміна, зміни
 Пристрасть, збудження
 Народження, створення

Пристрасть це почуття, яке часто асоціюється зі створенням чогось нового. Раджас вважається більш піднесеним якістю, ніж тамас і менш позитивним ніж саттва. Хоча раджас характеризується пошуками насолод, і на своїй початковій стадії приносить певну частку задоволення, його кінцевим результатом є страждання.

Людина в гуні пристрасті розвиває в собі жагу матеріальних задоволень. Вона жадає насолоджуватися і бачить у цьому сенс життя. Для задоволення почуттів людина повинна мати певну пошану в суспільстві, щасливу сім'ю, матеріальний достаток. Такі продукти раджа-гуни. Доти, доки людина бажає цього, вона змушена тяжко працювати, оскільки будинок, сім'я, престиж потребують постійної підтримки. Діяльність людини в раджа-гуні спрямована на досягнення результатів. Людина заробляє стільки, скільки може, і витрачає це на благі цілі. Іноді вона витрачає гроші на будівництво лікувальних установ, займається благодійністю тощо, щоб підняти свій престиж і статус у суспільстві. Таким чином, сучасний матеріальний світ більшою чи меншою мірою перебуває під впливом саме цієї гуни, але вважається, що колись у ведичному суспільстві переважала саттва-гуна.
