Pharmacokinetics of ibuprofen following a single administration of a suspension containing enteric-coated microcapsules.Arzneimittelforschung. 1995 Aug; 45(8):886-90.A
The relative bioavailability of ibuprofen (CAS 15687-27-1) was investigated following a single administration of a suspension containing enteric-coated microcapsules (A) in comparison to a rapid-release film-coated tablet (B) and a sustained-release tablet (C). The study was carried out in a three-way crossover design in 9 healthy male volunteers. Each formulation contained 800 mg ibuprofen. Plasma concentrations of ibuprofen were determined with a specific HPLC method. A mean relative bioavailability of 0.96 (B) and 1.01 (C) was determined for the test formulation. Since the corresponding 90% confidence intervals were within the recommended limits, bioequivalence for the extent of bioavailability of the test formulation can be concluded. Differences in pharmacokinetics were observed for the rate-dependent parameters. For the test formulation, the highest mean maximum plasma concentration (54.3 micrograms/ml) was measured with a corresponding tmax of 1.9 h. For the reference formulations, mean peak plasma concentrations of 45.2 micrograms/ml after 2.6 h (B) and 25.7 micrograms/ml after 5.6 h (C) were observed. Despite the enteric coating of the microcapsules, a very short lagtime of 0.03 h was determined for the suspension. For the other rapid release formulation (B), the lagtime was in a similar magnitude (0.11 h), while the absorption from the sustained-release tablet was clearly decelerated (tlag = 0.97 h). In comparison to the other rapid-release formulation (B), significant higher amounts of the drug were absorbed from the test formulation (A) within the first hour.

Researchers have launched a new report digging into the potential for black holes devouring hundreds of stars as they develop. The astronomers say rising black holes look like following a violent path to develop their weight. The researchers printed a paper on their current findings in The Astrophysical Journal.
Growing black holes are violently demolishing hundreds of stars as they pack on mass
A brand new survey of over 100 galaxies has uncovered indicators of rising black holes devouring hundreds of stars of their neighborhood. Ultimately, 29 of the galaxies that astronomers noticed utilizing NASA’s Chandra X-ray Observatory confirmed proof of black holes close to their facilities.
The group launched photographs of 4 of these galaxies, NGC3344, NGC 6503, NGC 1385, and NGC 1566. Each picture was captured by the Hubble Space Telescope after which overlayed with imaging from Chandra. The result’s a collage of galaxies with rising black holes outlined in blue. Most of those galaxies include a number of black holes, too. At the least, every galaxy has a black gap at its heart.
The astronomers say that the outcomes from the observations present a “violent path for at least some of these black holes.” The path it’s referring to is one in every of destruction, which the researchers say has led to the rising black holes devouring hundreds (if no more) of stars to chunk up.
According to the brand new examine, the rising black holes chargeable for this destruction are stellar-mass are fueled by what astronomers name “runaway growth.” Essentially, stellar-mass black holes are the smallest kind found to date. They are normally 5 to 30 occasions the mass of the Sun. However, after they undergo from runaway progress, the astronomers imagine they change into “intermediate-mass black holes”, or IMBHs.
These IMBHs are the rising black holes that proceed to rain destruction on close by clusters of stars. While bigger than stellar-mass black holes, the astronomers say they’re smaller than the a lot greater supermassive black holes. Supermassive black holes sometimes stay on the heart of galaxies. In truth, we have now one on the heart of our galaxy. Scientists even imagine it could possibly be leaking.
The astronomers imagine the runaway progress of stellar-mass black holes provides delivery to IBMHs. These rising black holes proceed to eat away at close by stars. However, the astronomers appear to imagine it solely applies to sure kinds of stars.
According to the report, one of many keys to creating an IMBH could also be its setting. The researchers carried out theoretical work that exhibits solely star clusters of a excessive sufficient density look like affected. As such, some star clusters are capable of move by the rising black holes with out difficulty. However, if the cluster is above a threshold worth, a stellar-mass black gap on the heart of the cluster might bear fast progress because it razes the celebrities and ingests them.
The researchers additionally say that this course of can have an effect on black holes anyplace within the universe, at any time. That means there may have been intermediate-mass black holes forming way back to proper after the Big Bang.

Yeap! I'm still alive and kicking. Just felt that....errmmm I lost my momentum in blogging. That's why you don't see me blog hopping and updating my 3 blogs. So what's up you say?
I have completed a few projects of mine. First was this pressie for a lil one.
If only I can drag my lazy Asz to go to a nearby post office to mail it out! (opss notice that the J is lack of a dot...need to add a dot) This project took me so long to accomplish cos, first I used my MIL's sewing machine. And then I destroyed it with come ugly embroidery alphabets. Then I took it all out, redo and then improvised here and there Taddaaaaaa! No, if you're wondering if I sew the T, nope. I bought the white top and decorated it abit. I know how to use the machine and sew tops like this but I can't get materials like this to sew clothes. Haha..
Then my lunch yesterday...My first meal after Sunday night. I was sick on Monday , vomiting and diarrhea again. Gesssh . So I had a good nap on Monday day + night and by Tuesday, I woke up and zapped the entire house. Water are flowing in my pond..fish are swimming..Flowers are blooming (dammit forgot to water em this morning), Mozzie died cos I
killed made them fainted with the insect repellent, changed the bed spread, what else? Forgot edi.

An Autorefractor Keratometer (ARK) is a medical device used to measure the refractive power of the eye and the curvature of the cornea. It is used to detect vision problems such as nearsightedness, farsightedness, astigmatism, and presbyopia. The ARK is also used to measure the size of the pupil and the shape of the cornea. This information is used to determine the best type of corrective lenses for the patient.
The ARK is a non-invasive, computer-controlled device that uses light to measure the refractive power of the eye and the curvature of the cornea. The device is typically operated by an ophthalmologist or optometrist. The ARK is a relatively quick and painless procedure that can be completed in a few minutes.
The price range for Autorefractor Keratometer equipment varies depending on the manufacturer and the features included. Prices can range from a few thousand dollars for a basic model to tens of thousands of dollars for a more advanced model. Some of the major manufacturers of ARK equipment include Topcon, Nidek, and Zeiss.

Carlos Carrasco has earned the final spot in the Indians' rotation, the 27-year-old right-hander said he learned this morning. Carrasco said he hasn't been told if he will be the Tribe's fourth or fifth starter.
The Indians completed their roster decisions by adding right-handers Scott Atchison and Blake Wood to the bullpen. Both said they learned the news Monday.
Asked why he didn't tell the local media, Wood said, "You never asked."
Right-hander Josh Tomlin, competing with Carrasco, learned he was being sent to Triple-A Columbus. General manager Chris Antonetti said Tomlin took the news like a professional. The Indians considered keeping Tomlin in the bullpen, but did not think that would be fair to him.
Carrasco was worried that a rocky outing March 19 against the Oakland A's might hurt his chances, so he came out aggressive Monday against the Cincinnati Reds.
"I feel happy to make the team,' Carrasco said.
Carrasco regards 2014 as an important year, especially after undergoing reconstructive surgery on his right elbow in August, 2011. Last season Carrasco spent time at Triple-A Columbus. With the Indians he went 1-4 with a 6.75 ERA and was more effective late in the season out of the bullpen.
"Last year I didn't have a good year," he said. "I think this is going to be a big year for us, and for me, too."
It will be the first time Wood, 28, has been on an Opening Day roster. He had right elbow surgery in March, 2012 when he was with Kansas City and was claimed off waivers by the Indians that November.
"It's given me perspective on a lot of things, knowing how special it is being on a big-league squad," Wood said of coming back from surgery. "Not that I ever took it for granted in the past. Coming back from what I did is really fulfilling.
"For them to pick me up when they did, five months out of surgery, you're not really for sure if a guy is even going to come back at that point. For them to believe in me and rehab me and help me go through this process, it's definitely for this year and beyond."
Atchison, 38, signed a minor league free agent contract with the Indians in January. He pitched for Tribe manager Terry Francona in 2011 with the Boston Red Sox.
"They hinted a couple days ago, Monday afternoon maybe," Atchison said. "They still had some things they needed to sort out and we weren't 100 percent sure. At that point you take a deep breath, I guess. It always is (a relief). You come in without a guarantee on anything and you never know what's going to happen. I felt like I threw the ball well all spring and I was rewarded for it."
General manager Chris Antonetti said converted catcher Carlos Santana will play "some" at third base, but he's not sure how much. Santana was told that this season he would back up catcher Yan Gomes and be the regular designated hitter, but he wanted to be more involved.
"We need to make sure we keep Yan fresh, so it will start with how much he needs to catch," Antonetti said. "From there we'll see. He'll play some third. How much remains to be seen and based upon how different guys are doing and a variety of other things."
Antonetti said the Indians did not pay a $100,000 retention bonus to designated hitter/first baseman Jason Giambi. Signed to a minor league free agent contract, Giambi and the Indians decided to forego the bonus so he could be placed on the major league disabled list instead of the minor league list and make the season-opening trip to Oakland.
"We thought it was important for us to have Jason with us on Opening Day and be part of the team," Anonetti said. "He's a big part of what we do, so we wanted to make sure he was there."

The Acting Inspector General of Police, Muhammed Abubakar, has vowed to sack more policemen found to be corrupt in the discharge of their duties.
Abubakar said this Monday when he visited the Governor of Lagos State, Babatunde Fashola at the State House, Ikeja, Lagos, Southwest Nigeria.
The police boss said he was ready to change the face of the police force, saying that during his tenure, corruption would be a thing of the past.
“I have told my officers, those willing to go with the new change, qualitative service, zero tolerance to corruption will remain the hallmark of our duties..
“Anybody not willing to go with the change will fall by the road side,” he said.
Abubakar disclosed that 50,000 policemen were on the verge of being retrained as part of capacity building for police officers.
He added that 15,000 of those to be retrained would be trained on intelligence policing while 10,000 others would go for detective training.
“In any country in the world, you cannot achieve anything without intelligence gathering and this, we want to take seriously. I will do my best and I promise to change the police force,” he added.
Abubakar decried the poor welfare of police officers, saying there was no way they could perform better under such condition and promised that things would change.
He also disclosed that 300 patrol vehicles had been released for the police to monitor major highways in the country to foil incessant robbery attacks and other crimes

Kenny Jackett reflects on Wembley triumph over Sunderland as Portsmouth prepare for start of EFL Trophy defence
Kenny Jackett reflects on Pompey’s EFL Trophy triumph last season and addresses his side’s ambitions in the competition this season.
It was a fantastic day at Wembley for us and our supporters.
Undoubtedly, we will be prioritising the league again and we did last season as well.
But as we developed during the competition, Wembley got closer and the game against Sunderland made the occasion what it was.
It ended up being a fantastic journey. It was a long competition and as we got closer to a big Wembley appearance it got more important.
I’m pleased we saw it through because it was a fantastic day and one we will never forget.
Right now, we have a derby against Southampton coming up in the Carabao Cup and the league so the EFL Trophy does go down our priority list slightly – as it generally does with everyone.
We were proud of what we achieved last season – very proud.
By the end of the competition, we obviously thoroughly enjoyed it and it was quite unique.
But if you look at the start of competition, we can’t sit here and say it will take a big priority.
We used the competition if a different way. As we got into the semi-finals and the game was live on Sky Sports against Bury, it is different then.
It was an opportunity to play at Wembley.
I don't think there’s a pressure being holders. You have to use it for what’s right for you.
Looking at the Crawley game, it’s in context with no game against Southend on Saturday.
We’ll be stronger than we would have been if the Southend game was going ahead.
Similarly, everyone who needs to play against Crawley will do for match minutes.

There’s adolescent memories that swirl around Grammy-nominated Beth Hart’s influence behind covering Led Zeppelin’s “Black Dog.” From her young years of hearing the song waft into her living room from her neighbor across the street, she knew there was something special there.
Fast forward to the present and Hart is now signed under the same label that introduced the hardcore rock band, Atlantic Records. So with her cover of “Black Dog” fans can expect the passion every tribute is backed by. The cover anchors and opens her upcoming album release A Tribute To Led Zeppelin out February 25.
Hart sings her soul out in her “Black Dog” tribute, beginning with the classic guitar cadence intermediated by “Hey mama said the way you move, gonna make you sweat gonna make you move.” Hart follows this same rhythm in her own boisterous way and even keeps the massive electric guitar solo that follows. The original version is no doubt a “masculine” feel to the cover, but the cover excludes the subdued “woo hoo’s” that accompany the original’s guitar solo.
Hart brings the same invigorating energy the original brings as she stands in its essence, unwavering from the initial sound too much. Her voice, with a higher pitch, pairs well with chords that make you bob your head. It’s a refreshing twist to the classic Zeppelin favorite.
American singer-songwriter, Beth Hart announced her tribute album to Led Zeppelin around the fall of last year, according to mxdwn, at what point she also debuted her first cover of Zeppelin’s 1969 classic “Good Times Bad Times.”

By guest author Tom Palmer:
Friday, May 29th, 2009, would have been Jack Kamen's 89th birthday. Sadly, he is gone, passing last August 5th, 2008, this is my recollection of Jack and the enormous impact he had on me and my career.
I met Jack Kamen by answering an ad in the Sunday New York Times placed by a small advertising art studio on 40th and Madison Avenue in NYC looking for a freelance board artist.
It was a serendipitous moment, arriving at the studio for an interview and being introduced to Jack, I got lost in conversation with him about comic books and almost blew the position interview. Jack was at the studio as a freelance artist doing illustrations for his clients and the studio he had space in.
Jack left EC Comics and the field a decade earlier and had built a very solid career in advertising art.
I can only describe myself as young, idealistic, enthusiastic, and clueless about this new world I had entered into. I was going to art school at night and my only experience in the field was a short stint in a big advertising studio next to Grand Central Station where I was the classic apprentice and "gopher". I would "go for" lunch and "go for" job pick ups, but never had enough time in to be given a board to work at. I did pick up enough to understand how to do a "mechanical", a mainstay in ad production at the time, and I left the studio shortly after with enough knowledge to go out and secure a studio job. It was at this moment when I walked into the studio on 40th Street and met Jack Kamen.
Jack and I hit it off immediately, I was a wide-eyed fan who could not believe that I met a celebrity, a real life comic book artist, and for Jack, I was a gushing fan in a field where advertising illustrators were a commodity and his recognition was more from an art director's appreciation for good work on time, usually without credit in print, but Jack was a very successful illustrator by any other description.
Jack Kamen and I were kindred spirits in many ways, we were both enthused fans of illustration and illustrators past and present, only he had a much bigger cache of knowledge on artists I had never heard of, and in a personal way, our early lives were similar in that we both lost our fathers when we were young. That was ultimately our true bond, he saw himself in me and I found a surrogate father.
My time in that advertising studio on Madison Avenue was spent with my drawing board just six feet from Jack's, we spent our days talking, mostly me listening, and when I had a chance to break, I got up and looked over his shoulder as he worked. He did his share of small line drawings for his advertising clients, but he also worked on very large color pieces that I considered paintings but really were Jack's multi-media works of art that rivaled the best in the field. All the time I was being exposed to skills and knowledge that would surpass those skills I was acquiring in art school, not to diminish the latter, but I've found that artistic ability can go undefined without survival skills.
Jack started me on my illustration career while in that studio, passing along some of his small clients that he had outgrown. He was my mentor and guiding light at a time when I needed it the most, a good friend and always my surrogate dad until his passing in August, 2008.
In the last year of Jack Kamen's life I had the good fortune to interview him by phone at his home in Florida about that time we spent in the studio. Prompted by Leif, who thought it a worthy subject for his illustration blog, little did I know that our unfinished discussion would be our last with many more questions to be asked and now that opportunity forever gone.
That initial interview with Jack Kamen is presented here where he discusses his unique approach to painting those magnificent large scale illustrations for Mack Truck and other well known clients.
Jack Kamen mentioned years later that his painting method was an unorthodox hodgepodge of mixed media and the use of an electric eraser to create his paintings.
Jack: "Did you know I used Prismacolor pencils along with an acrylic paint wash to create my paintings? I would use a smooth illustration board and apply my basic color in a very watery wash of acrylic, and after it dried I would start rendering with Prismacolor pencil. Then I would take an electric eraser, with a particular eraser, that when you erased anything, before you got down to removing color, you could mix the color pencil very, very smooth, almost like an oil painting."
"For instance, I would mix a puddle of acrylic paint flesh color and put that down as a watercolor wash. As soon as it dried, I would add all the details in colored pencil. In areas that needed correction I would paint opaque white acrylic and then go back and do color pencil again. The electric eraser blended all the pencil into a smooth look."
"If you look at a painting of Santa Claus, the beard is opaque white acrylic, put down as a watercolor wash, then the shading and gray tones were added in color pencil, the electric eraser gave the fuzzy look to all that."
When prompted, Jack said he heard of another artist doing something similar but had forgotten his name. He tried it with modifications and it suited his approach to painting. He said he hated painting in oil in art school, found acrylic more enjoyable, the addition of Prismacolor pencil with it's wax base, and his application of that electric eraser after, his personal painting method. Looking at the illustration samples, who would have known!
Many thanks to Tom Palmer for sharing his recollections of Jack Kamen with us. I have always had the greatest admiration for Mr. Kamen's work, and its a privilege to have hosted Tom's personal story of his friend and mentor here on Today's Inspiration.

IBM claims that it has made a noteworthy development in computer processors by creating a 2nm chip in its test lab.
The company says its test chip can improve power efficiency and increase performance by 45% over current 7nm commercially available products. The breakthrough also shows the data of increasing in energy efficiency while using 75% less energy to match current performance, IBM said.
The nm is the measurement of the size of the transistor and with a lower number usually indicates a leap forward. The computer chip industry used to use nanometres which are one billionth of a metre. This measurement is to measure the physical size of transistors. Today, the smaller transistor- a lower “nm” number, is widely seen as a promotion term to describe advancements of new generations of the technology, and a promise to better performance and lower power.
Today’s potential desktop chips are based on the 7nm process and became available worldwide until 2019 – which is four years after IBM declared it had cracked the 7nm process.
There are many possibilities with 2nm such as the tech could “expand” mobile phone battery life four times, and future phones might only need to be charged every four days.
With this breakthrough, the world could see another performance knock for computers in the coming years.

Abstract: During a serosurvey of domestic dogs in Botswana, an immuno-enzyme technique (ELISA) was used to measure rabies antibodies in dogs. Serum samples were collected from the dogs at their visits to three small animal clinics, in and around Gaborone. Overall, 148/276 (54%) of the sera samples were positive with antibody levels 0.5 IU mL 1 indicative of effectiveness of protection against rabies challenge. Where vaccination history was available 90 dogs, 47/90 (52%) serum samples demonstrated 0.5 IU mL 1 with 43/90 (48%) having antirabies antibodies < 0.5 IU mL 1. Dogs that had history of two, three and four successive rabies vaccinations showed better responses with 63, 66 and 100%, showing levels 0.5 IU mL 1, respectively, as compared to only 46% of dogs with a history of only one vaccination being positive. It is recommended that the practice of vaccinating of dogs against rabies annually be continued since multiple vaccinations appear to give effective protection against rabies in dogs.

What a year ’twas 2011. Amazingj highs… painful lows. And now 2012? Only the good Lord knows.
I have been blessed over the past many months to have been allowed to grow stronger as a person. Strength has come from realizing how deep some of my capacities really are, especially when it comes to love. The complex state of being known as love can bring amazing experiences as well as painful existences. Which is where I find myself today… on the back-end of love. And since this is an impromptu post via QuickPress, I am unsure of where to go from here as relates to what I’m saying. My most important thoughts right now are strength, hope, faith, growth, compassion, emptiness (as in the hard to grasp Buddhist concept of emptiness), perseverance and self-preservation, and of course *love*. And what a love it was (passionate too!), and no doubt still is – minus the act of passion. Even though I cannot be with the one that I love anymore, I shall treasure the time that we were together and honor the growth that I have been allowed as a result of being with such an amazing individual.
As a Christian-Buddhist, I know that though all things are transient, they always remain the same. 1 Cor 13 (NKJV) declares a treatise of love, and I would never have imagined that I would be able to experience so many of those qualities that I most certainly have. The mere fact that one relationship has shown me such excellence is miraculous in itself. Though the relationship has come to an end, I have hope and faith that when the time is right I might be able to give (and receive) the same powerful (if not stronger) love that I have experienced over much of 2011.
With my current desire for healthy mindsets, I feel not grief but yet joy that my life was allowed to become enriched as a result of having been in that relationship. Of course there is sadness and longing, but the Samsaric process of attachment would only further (and deepen) suffering. That I must remember. As well as such, I must consider the seeming-phenomenon that I was able to enrich the life of another… was able to brighten another’s life, eyes, spirit, mind , heart and soul. Those truths I should keep in my heart because of my inferior quality of keeping a low self-esteem and always being quick to downgrade my actions/abilities/accomplishments. However, I do not wish for my soul seeds to be in vain. I feel deep concern for the one that I was with and the path that she will take after we go our ways. I will never allow the ways that her soul moved mine to be lost on me, no. My wish is for her to feel the same and to grow stronger after our separation of being. Though it was a very (verry) complicated relationship, my wish is for the continual seek of bright happiness (for both of us)… even if it must be experienced as separated halves of one whole.
Wow. What a healing that turned out to be. I never imagined for this post to morph into was it essentially has.
Writing is so very healing – a healing that is priceless – a healing that should be encouraged and exercised. But gosh do I still love her… and that is one promise that could never change.

I really like shadows. Shadows can transform an object into something all together different from its’ definiteness. Shadows can lend depth to a structure or mystery to a scene. It is possible for shadows to incite fear into our psyche due to the familiar morphing into the unfamiliar… but shadows are also capable of turning boring and dull objects or locations into enhanced, more beautiful versions of themselves. The eye is a window to the mind… and shadows are manipulators that expand on our views of the world around us.
I’ve become horrible at keeping this blog up-to-date. I sincerely appreciate the good-hearted folks who have read my writings and viewed my artwork… and even if I’ve not replied to some comments doesn’t mean that they were ignored, no, because I take every word to heart. I hope to one day soon go back and properly acknowledge the time that has been generously spent by the readers and commenters(word?) of my work. Oftentimes, my writings are emotionally charged, and depending my level of personal investment, it can sometimes be difficult to go back and reface some topics.
Photography and art are my releases from the stresses of this world, so please forgive me if I don’t communicate so much in the written format. It’d be nice if there were a tool that would allow thoughts to automagically manifest into typeface, but alas there is not (yet). Putting thoughts into words can be tough at times, especially when there are too many to single out.
I’ve been lucky to find a great group of people to communicate with… and though it might not seem like it at times, I do think about all of you. Thanks for being there.
I feel as if I’m not being very productive as of late… which is too bad. But I have been busy surfing the web and finding lots of great new tools! Twitter has become somewhat of a thing for me, and I’m not sure what a cost-benefit-analysis would reveal regarding my time spent there vs the “stuff” I glean from it. Knowledge is power, so for now I’ll just be content with absorbing new information.
Just so you don’t feel cheated by reading this post, I’ll share some links with you:
http://www.newsmap.jp aggregates news stories and displays the headlines in boxes. The size of the box represents the story’s popularity, and the different shade of the color represents the story’s “freshness” as it were. Stories are color-coded depending on genre, and there are tabs that will filter which stories you want to have represented on the page. You can also filter your news by region and country. Check it out.
http://www.qwiki.com/ is totally not what you might think. Qwiki is a new type of search engine that reads out loud to you. Think back to 1984 and imagine what you thought the future would be like, and Qwiki comes close to that vision. Scarily, it is even reminiscent of George Orwell’s Nineteen Eighty-Four and the idea of the information being feed to you while using Qwiki’s site. I do recommend this new website, but the information isn’t as in-depth as could be gained by manual searching. Qwiki does hold true to it’s moniker in that it is a quick dose of info, with pics to boot. Here is my Tweet about the site: @Qwiki Your site reminds me of Neo in The Matrix in how he would “learn” everything by plugging into a computer. Great concept and interface.
Regarding the title to this post, I take it from The Beatles and their song Eight Days a Week. It seems like my Post-A-Week has become a Post-A-Eight-Days… hehehe. Oh well.
Artists lead a tortured life. Most of the torture is self-inflicted but it is torture nonetheless. Not that I care or anyone else does either, but I am late with my at-least-one-post-per-week quota. Fark. I was going to end this post right here, but instead I have decided to insert a poem I wrote about month or so ago. I wanted to forgo the opening line and its slightly crude aspect, but then the emotion would have become diluted.

Ever since joining Red Bubble, my heightened awareness for all things Australian has become deliciously inquisitive. Often I am pulled into a refreshingly vibrant wilderness or an example of a seeming otherworldly urban landscape, leaving me enthralled yet glum to the stark reality of a “mere viewer, removed”. How curious it all seems to me though, and to quote a book title from Dr. Seuss: Oh, the Places (I’d) Go! I might be in a romantic state of bliss, but Australia is admirable and it has turned into a good romance for sure.
Today there was a link in my Twitter feed, which led to a page titled Minimal Melbourne on the Behance Network. There are lots of great pictures around, and here I found a handful more. What I like about this particular series of shots is the focus on new-age architecture. There is a great mix of authentic history so obviously embraced. Many of the flavors of architecture I’ve seen from Oz feels unparalleled here in the States.
I am not widely traveled but much of what I see in America is bland and utilitarian. While there are examples of artsy-architecture (I know no terms), much of it is pointedly concentrated yet sparse in dispersement. Does anyone have a Read more…
Yesterday’s blogging topic from The Daily Post was “Share something that makes you smile”. I didn’t sign up for the Post-A-Day-2011 Blog Challenge “Writing Event Extravaganza Unlimited“, no. I signed up for the Post-A-Week because my non-linear mind will undoubtedly interfere with consistent daily posts… but no less than one per week is ok. I wasn’t even going to bite on the ‘Smile’ topic, but after reading another blogger’s post I decided that I would.
ART is what makes me smile. There is nothing better than something painted, something drawn… a photograph shot, a digital work created… a paragraph engineered, a line in a poem. There have been countless times where I have found myself smiling, and the funny thing is I have no control over it. When a work of art speaks to me, deeply, all bets are off. There have been times I have felt so taken aback when a grin stretched across my face and morphed into a full-blown beam. There have even been some Eureka! moments elicited as my mind would enter an osmosis-state… neurotransmitters from the Artist’s work syncing up with the neuro-transceivers in my physiological brain. The real fun comes when the antimatter morphs into matter and takes my digital mind on a roller-coaster ride. Digital isn’t just for computers you know. Humans can operate in this way as well… just think about it.
I no doubt throw terms around loosely, and even make up a few, but the case is this: We are in control of our own minds. The physical brain is mass and matter… lots of chemicals even. But the mind is digital… the mind is infinite. If ever there is something that captivates me, I let it, and then I explore where it might take my mind. Profound things have happened to me as a result of viewing some piece of artwork or reading some poem or prose. Friendships have even blossomed due to art. Communication plays a big role here, but it doesn’t have to, because art can touch sans words. What it all boils down to is a vibration… an excited current of ones and zeros pulsating through the digital channels of our minds… and often Art is the exciter.

Scientists from the University of Liverpool are working with computer modelling specialists in India to predict areas of the country that are at most risk of malaria outbreaks, following changes in monsoon rainfall.
The number of heavy rainfall events in India has increased over the past 50 years, but research has tended to focus on the impact this has on agriculture rather than the vector-borne diseases, such as malaria and Japanese Encephalitis.
The University’s School of Environmental Sciences is working with the Council of Scientific and Industrial Research’s (CSIR) Centre for Mathematical Modelling and Computer Simulation (C-MMACS), Bangalore, to develop technology that will help decision makers and planners target areas that are prone to large scale climate variability and malaria epidemics.
The number of malaria cases in India has dropped from two million a year to 1.5 million in recent years, but the percentage of the more dangerous form of the disease, P. falciparum infection, has increased in some areas. The model could help inform early intervention methods to prevent the spread of malaria at key points in the seasonal monsoon cycle, reducing the economic and health impacts of the disease.
Dr Andy Morse, from the University’s School of Environmental Sciences, said: “We already know that an anomalous season of heavy rainfall, when heat and humidity are high, allows insects such as mosquitoes to thrive and spread infection to humans. In order to prepare health services and prevent epidemics we must have a way of predicting when these events are likely to occur in areas that are not accustomed to annual outbreaks of malaria.
“Liverpool has developed human and animal disease models that can be integrated into seasonal forecasting systems to give a picture of what the climate impacts on disease risk will be like in four to six months time.”
Dr Prashant Goswami, from C-MMACS, India, said: “We are rapidly developing our computer modelling capabilities using technology that can address the impacts of climate variability on agriculture and water systems. This knowledge, together with the Liverpool models of vector-borne diseases, will help us develop systems to predict when changes in the monsoonal rain may occur and which areas are most likely to see an increase in malaria.
“Health authorities in India are already very successful at controlling malaria cases, but this new research should support decision makers in keeping ahead of the more serious occurrences of the disease, which is starting to increase across the country alongside the changing climate conditions.”
The work, funded by the UK India Education Research Initiative (UKIERI), forms part of the University’s Global Health research theme, which brings together experts in infectious disease, reproductive health, and mental health from across the institution.

Future Foods, Volume 5, June 2022,
Cow's milk is considered a staple in many diets due to its high nutritional value. It contains almost every nutrient that the human body needs. Milk is consumed as a beverage, poured on several foods, and added to coffee, tea, and smoothies. Furthermore, many food products are produced from cow's milk, such as ice cream, yogurt, cheese, butter, cake, desserts, and others. However, it is not a suitable option for everyone for reasons, including lactose intolerance, milk allergy, dietary restrictions, and potential health risks. Plant-based milk substitutes are good options to meet the current demand for non-dairy beverages similar to milk. Also, the production chain of plant-based milk is environmentally friendly and promotes lower carbon emissions compared to dairy products. In this regard, this review discussed the current status of using innovative technologies (ultrasound, high-pressure processing, pulsed electric field, supercritical CO2, ultraviolet radiation, microwave, and ohmic heating) for manufacturing plant-based milk substitutes and their impact on nutritional, sensory, and safety aspects of these emerging beverages.

The Press of Atlantic City today published my view on the Governor’s plan to raise tolls and bring the State further and longer in to debt. Here is what I wrote:
Just repudiate New Jersey debt
Gov. Jon S. Corzine has asked if anyone has another plan to solve the state’s financial woes. Here is a plan:
Repudiate the state’s debt.
All debt contracted without voter consent is both unconstitutional and illegal. Therefore, the state should just repudiate the large share of the debt that was not approved by voters, cut spending in the budget and lower the tolls.
JESSE O. KURTZ
Tell Governor Corzine to abide by the law. Attend the Taxpayer Townhall meetings with the Governor. Check http://www.state.nj.us/townhallmeetings/listing/ for location and time. The Governor should also be reached through phone and mail, Office of the Governor, PO Box 001, Trenton, NJ 08625, 609-292-6000. Then, contact the legislature. http://www.njleg.state.nj.us/districts/districtnumbers.asp has a district-by-district breakdown, with information for your legislators.

The Honolulu Pain Management Clinic LLC can develop coping strategies for stress as well as pain.
Coping Strategies – Psychological coping mechanisms are commonly termed coping strategies or coping skills. The term coping generally refers to adaptive (constructive) coping strategies. That is strategies which reduce stress. The focus a coping mechanism is to change the meaning of the stressor or transfer attention away from it. Typically, people use a mixture of several types of coping strategies, which may change over time. The effectiveness of the coping effort depends on: the type of stress, the individual and the circumstances. Coping responses are partly controlled by personality (habitual traits), but also partly by the social environment, particularly the nature of the stressful environment. Coping strategies can be developed for stress as well as pain.

As Indians are waiting for the Budget to be presented in the Parliament, here’s a look at a brief history of India's budgets:
1. The word Budget is derived from the Middle English word 'bowgette', derived from 'bougette', which means a leather bag in the French language. According to Article 112 of the Indian Constitution, the Union Budget is a statement of the estimated receipts and expenditure of the government for that particular year.
(Image Courtesy: Indiatimes)
2. The tradition of carrying a Budget briefcase can be traced back to the British, who carried a 'Budget box' on every Budget Day since 1860.
3. On 7th April 1860, India’s first budget was presented by James Wilson of East India Company to the British Crown.
4. The first ever Union Budget of India was presented by the first Finance Minister of India RK Shanukham Chetty in 1947. The documents were printed in Hindi for the first time during 1955-66 Budgets.
(Image Courtesy: Twitter)
5. Jawaharlal Nehru, Indira Gandhi, and Rajiv Gandhi are the only Prime Ministers who have also presented Budget inside the Parliament.
6. There is a legendary ‘Halwa ceremony’ at North Block, which houses the ministry and officials. Halwa is prepared by the Minister and distributed among all officials. After this ceremony, all Government officials concerned with the budget preparations are locked in an undisclosed room without mobile or internet. They only come out once the Finance Minister is ready to start the presentation.
(Image Courtesy: Indiatimes)
7. Former Prime Minister of India and then Finance Minister Morarji Desai had presented the maximum number of Budgets, which is 10 and an interim budget between 1959 and 1964.
8. Until 2000, the ritual was to present Budget at 5 PM on the last working day of February, which was changed for the first time by Yashwant Sinha when he started the presentation at 11 AM during 2001 Budget.

Increasing numbers of patients are being referred to specialised palliative care (SPC) which, in order to be beneficial, is recommended to last more than three months. This cohort study aimed to describe time to end-of-life after initiating SPC treatment and to explore potential regional variations. We used national register data from all Danish hospital SPC teams. We included patients who started SPC treatment from 2015–2018 to explore if time to end-of-life was longer than three months. Descriptive statistics were used to summarise the data and a generalised linear model was used to assess variations among the five Danish regions. A total of 27,724 patients were included, of whom 36.7% (95% CI 36.2–37.1%) had over three months to end-of-life. In the Capital Region of Denmark, 40.1% (95% CI 39.0–41.3%) had over three months to end-of-life versus 32.5% (95% CI 30.9–34.0%) in North Denmark Region. We conclude that most patients live for a shorter period of time than the recommended three months after initiating SPC treatment. This is neither optimal for patient care, nor the healthcare system. A geographical variation between regions was shown indicating different practices, patient groups or resources. These results warrant further investigation to promote optimal SPC treatment.

JEFFREY SCOTT JOSLIN II
#JSJII is a man of many talents. He plays the guitar, bass, keys and drums — and he writes, produces and performs his own music. Originally from Tennessee, he spent the beginning of his music career in Nashville where he honed his songwriting skills and learned his way around the production studio. New opportunities led him to Atlanta, GA and ultimately to Los Angeles where he lives today. His third self-produced album, entitled ‘30’, was released in 2016. The upbeat tempo of his music is both rhythmic and soulful. He is currently working on a new concept album set for release in late 2018.
While not creating music he spends his time drawing, painting and designing. He is also a proud husband and father.


The BMA annual representative meeting in Brighton this week heard from doctors about ‘ludicrously complex’ tax rules that are pushing doctors away from the front line when they are needed more than ever.
BMA eastern regional SAS committee chair Balendra Kumar (pictured above) explained how some members had reduced hours, stopped doing extra work or cancelled their pension contributions ‘due to the harsh tax treatment’ they received.
He demanded doctors be able to assess their tax liability in line with the remedy made in the 2021 McCloud judgement, which found the 2015 public sector pension scheme ‘unlawfully discriminated against younger members’ whose decisions ‘would not have been made’ otherwise.
Surrey GP Christine Clayton stressed how tens of thousands of doctors faced recalculating seven years of pension contributions, with many paying ‘significant amounts of annual allowance tax they may no longer be liable for’.
She said that, without certainty on current levels of pension benefits, they ‘cannot make informed decisions about their retirement plans or whether they need to limit their working hours’.
‘Many doctors took decisions based on being subjected to this discrimination, some retired early, some opted-out or reduced hours,’ said Dr Clayton. ‘Every month that goes by without progress simply adds to the uncertainty and doctors cannot make informed decisions.’
BMA pensions committee chair Vishal Sharma said: ‘The Government broke the law. They discriminated against younger members. They really must fix this and must do so quickly.’
He said an October 2023 deadline is ‘slipping’ and criticised the Government for being ‘silent’ on how they are going to address how doctors made decisions based on the previous changes.
Consultant orthopaedic surgeon Devender Khurana noted how doctors’ pay had eroded in recent years and that pension taxation has provided ‘a big financial strain’.
He spoke of the ‘postcode lottery’ doctors have on employer contributions to their pensions as trusts can offer between 0 and 16 per cent with a ‘huge variation’ in what is offered in different regions.
Mr Khurana called for a uniform, UK-wide policy allowing pension recycling, where an individual reinvests either their tax-free cash or pension income back into a pension scheme.
‘We shouldn’t let our experienced colleagues be left in a financially worse situation because of government apathy on pension taxation,’ he said.
Alan Robertson, a member of the BMA pensions committee, said the ‘ludicrously complex’ tax set-up had ‘decimated’ the value of the NHS pension scheme with doctors ‘unfairly and unjustly hit with massive tax bills’.
He said doctors have tax relief removed three times – through the contribution structure, annual allowance and lifetime allowance, which is ‘just not fair’. He wants a tax-unregistered scheme, such as that handed to judges from April this year, to be implemented.
While he accepts that would be a ‘big piece of work’ which ‘could take some time to achieve’, Dr Robertson called for urgency because, in the meantime, coming out of the pension scheme is ‘the only way [doctors] can manage their tax bills’ but means they lose ‘a core part’ of their employer benefits.
Dr Sharma added: ‘It is utterly crazy we still have limits of how much work we can do when we have the biggest waiting lists on record.’
He wants a long-term solution were people pay ‘the right amount of tax without having these limits on working’. In the short-term he wants to see ‘shameful’ employers made to offer pension recycling.


"'It was unbearable, twenty-four seven, as though my hand were in a clamp,' he says. Since the last thing he vaguely recalls about his accident is his hand clutched in a vise as he reached out toward the mechanical press that crushed it, it seems that his mind had continued to feel that final moment, like a clanging bell that is the last thing remembered, and still heard on his hospital bed, by the victim of a train accident. His hand is so much there from the brain’s point of view that the brain may be creating the pain it thinks the hand ought to be feeling, the last tactile sensation it can recall. This kind of phantom pain in amputated limbs is a widely observed phenomenon, but for a long time it was thought to be a response to trauma of the 'cauterized' nerves in the residual limb. One of the things that Dustin Tyler’s project in Cleveland has helped confirm is that it is also a cognitive phenomenon, placed much 'higher up' in the system. After the sensors in Spetic’s arm were stimulated, his pain diminished, and then vanished. Reassured that the hand had moved on, that the trauma had passed and was no longer in need of response, the brain released it from the emergency state of feeling pain."
From "Feel Me/What the new science of touch says about ourselves," by Adam Gopnik.

“There is no beating grief. There is no getting over it. Yet, the beauty of grief is that it stretches your emotional bandwidth. Joy, happiness, love, compassion: The degree to which you can feel them is directly proportional to the amount of pain, grief, sadness, and devastation you have felt.” This is a quote from Beautiful Grief, a book I read recently. It came into my life at a time when I was experiencing more than my fair share of grief. I’m trying to focus on this idea of letting my grief expand my capacity for joy. Baking is where I often find joy.
One of the reasons I am grieving is the loss of my dear friend Susan Russo. I met her in the early days of blogging. She was a terrific writer and recipe developer but mostly just a wonderful person. I am trying to hold on to my happy memories of her and celebrate her with one of her recipes, Traditional Italian Almond Biscotti.
The cookies are chock full of toasted almonds, scented with vanilla and orange. The recipe makes a big batch, so there are plenty to keep and to share.
I associate many recipes with Susan—Italian American dishes of course, and ingredients like fennel and olives. Her two blog posts, one on Kitchen Window and another on her blog about biscotti capture so much of what I loved about her—the way she shared her heritage, humor, and warmth, all while caring for others. I hope these cookies bring you, and anyone you share them with, some joy.
The recipe is from Susan Russo’s mother, I’ve adapted the instructions.
Makes 36 (3/4 inch-wide cookies)
3 cups whole raw almonds
1 cup granulated sugar
1 cup light brown sugar
1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
2 teaspoons baking powder
2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
3 jumbo eggs (if you don’t have jumbo eggs, use 4 medium eggs)
1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
zest of 1 large orange (about 1 -2 teaspoons)
1 egg, lightly beaten for brushing the tops of loaves
Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Line two rimmed sheet pans with parchment paper.
Place almonds in a single layer on a baking sheet and toast in the oven for 10 minutes. Remove and let cool.
In a large bowl, stir together the toasted almonds, sugars, cinnamon, baking powder, and flour.
In a small mixing bowl, combine 3 jumbo eggs, vanilla and orange zest and whisk until well blended. Add the wet ingredients to the flour mixture. Work the batter together with lightly floured hands. The mixture will be very sticky. Squeeze the dough and once it comes together, form a ball. Divide the ball into four equal pieces.
On a lightly floured surface place one piece of dough, and roll into a log approximately 8 inches long, 2 inches wide, and 3/4 of an inch high. Repeat with the remaining three pieces of dough. Place two logs on each baking sheet. Brush the tops of the dough with the beaten egg.
Bake for 35-40 minutes, or until the tops of the loaves are shiny and deep golden brown. Remove from the oven and transfer to a rack for about 20 minutes before slicing. Place a loaf on a cutting board, and using a large serrated knife, slice cookies 3/4 of an inch thick on the diagonal. If the slices crumble, then let cool a few more minutes before slicing. Place slices on their sides back on to the baking sheets; place in the still warm oven with the temperature off and the door closed for 30-60 minutes. The longer they stay in the oven,the harder they will become. Remove from oven and cool completely before storing up to one month in a tin or another air tight container.

You’ll have to admit – people looked pretty cool when posing for photos 100 years ago.
From the 1918 Baylor University Round Up yearbook, courtesy of the Baylor College of Medicine Archives, we see an amazing collage of young men and women striking poses and mugging for the camera.
Some of the photos look like they could be hip hop album covers. Others would look perfectly in place on a Facebook feed, with the right Instagram filter. The fashions are different (not many students wear suits daily in 2016), but the styles and expressions are timeless.

The Ford Pinto Case Study - Guild 12
Sometimes the practices of some businesses may result in negative consequences for the consumers; this phenomenon is recognized as an abusive business practice and is addressed by consumer protection law Consumer Rights — Consumer Protection Law , To be more precise, consumer protection laws are designed specifically to hold the manufacturers and sellers responsible for actions that victimize the consumers via the unethical pursuit of profit. The consumers may become easy targets for such unlawful practices due to their lack of information or the power to bargain Consumer Rights — Consumer Protection Law , As a result, many individuals were harmed and killed.
Tort law is specifically designed to provide protection to the parties that become injured as a result of a harmful act of another party; that way, the loss of the harmed party becomes the liability of the responsible party Tort , n. In other words, the damages suffered by the injured party can be paid back by the initiators of harm in monetary form. In the case of the Ford Pinto, the losses of the consumers affected by the fires and explosions of the flawed vehicles were covered by Ford; such losses involve the loss of income due to sick leave or disability and the cost of medical treatment.
The character of the Ford Pinto case in relation to the free market issues was discussed by Milton Friedman in one of his lectures given in the s. Dry and emotionless calculation of monetary costs and benefits of selling cars and the loss of human lives taken objectively to find the right solution led to multiple lawsuits and risks for the organization.
At the same time, at the moment when the cars were sold, the consumers were not in danger. Basically, the law of time was not breached by Ford as the effects of their decisions were not the reality at the time, and neither were the laws violated in the collisions Returning to the Pinto Case , Also, it is possible to say that the consumers should have learned about the advantages and disadvantages of the cars before purchasing them, making the buyers partially responsible; however, this approach does not remove the fault from the manufacturers Returning to the Pinto Case , Practically, the calculated social costs of the potential car accidents were not outweighed by the costs of waiting for the release and making improvements. At the same time, the costs calculated by Ford can be recognized as arbitrary for instance, how can one calculate the value of pain?
Also, by making that calculation, the researchers dismissed the fact that the release of the cars would lead to the deaths of people, thus committing an ultimate act of immorality. To sum up, the Ford Pinto case is one of the clearest examples of consumer rights abuse by a manufacturer. The most disturbing aspect of the case is that numbers and calculations were used as the basis for a decision that was supposed to rely on legal and ethical rules.
As you can see driverless cars will be driving us into the future of driving. For the good or ther bad we will have to accept the fact that driverless cars will massilvy affect how we will be driving in the next few years or even decades. These cars could change they way we see the world we live in. With fear of hackers, geting connected with family members and hand signals for driving could very much change the world we live in.
A few years ago, one of my family members got into a car accident by not paying attention because a truck hit him, and he had no idea. Many people get killed from car accidents all the time and that should not be happening. Car accidents can happen to anyone and cannot be planned. Driverless cars will be an appropriate fit to our future because driverless cars are much safer than regular cars, they are easier to use, and they can help save money.
And yet, it takes years to get people to believe in the danger of drunk driving and consciously give up drinking-driving decisions. Hence apart from raising self-consciousness, some people assert that by making clarity and improvement in the relevant laws and regulations, and setting a more strict level of punishment, will contribute to prevent a lot of people from taking the chance. In this case, the wise men have figured out adaptive products and services to reduce the social damage.

Although strides are being made across the globe when it comes to LGBT rights and representation, hate and homophobia are still very much a part of the social landscape. Recently, such feelings of hate tragically culminated in the death of a young Russian man who was raped and tortured to death in an apparent hate crime.
According to Agence Free Press, a spokesperson for regional investigators revealed that the 23-year-old victim’s battered and naked body was found in the courtyard of an apartment building in the southern city of Volgograd on Friday morning.
The young man was brutally attacked and suffered several injuries, especially to his genitalia and he was apparently sodomized with several beer bottles.
“He was raped with beer bottles and had his skull smashed with a stone,” said Natalia Kunitskaya, a spokeswoman for the Volgograd region branch of the Investigative Committee, to AFP.
Two men, ages 22 and 27, have been detained in connection with the murder. Investigators say that the victim was drinking with the two men while celebrating Victory Day on May 9. However, things turned violent after the victim revealed to the men that he was gay.
The disturbing murder comes amid reports of rising homophobia in Russia as President Vladimir Putin seeks to play up traditional, homophobic values in a move to gain support for his third term in office.
Although Putin has denied violating LGBT rights, the Russian parliament is considering passing a controversial national law banning “homosexual propaganda” among minors, with the wording for the law being extremely vague, if passed, it may open the door for the homophobia to go from just culturally acceptable to legally acceptable as well.
Hopefully, Russia will soon enough begin to combat it’s homophobic culture lest another innocent person become a victim to a violent hate crime. Sadly, this is not the first time such a crime has happened. Check out some other famous hate crimes below. –nicholas robinson
