Hi I'm looking for someone who can do music for my game and a trailer
The game will need about 4 tracks that need to be looping, I can handle the sound effects myself so it's only music.
I've included a video for you to get an idea of the game, the video is a bit outdated now but it will give you a basic idea.
when people ask me what the game is about I usually say "it's a mashup of my fav games I've played from when I was very little to now" and because it's my first game I'll finish (made about 7 non finished flash games) I'm not trying to innervate something new, just trying to learn the basic.
Music style I'm looking for.
Chiptune, 8 bit sort a music, it dosen't have to be 100% true 8 bit as long as it just have a good old feel to it im good ^^
and music for the trailer is just something that need to be rad, and fit the video i'm making ofc ^^
send me a note if you're interested in helping on the music part, and if you're I can also let you try out the game as it is so far, and all that jazz
thanks for reading!

Donna Perry: Another Shameful Session
Thursday, June 14, 2012
“What is so rare as a day in June? Then, if ever, come perfect days…” - American poet James R. Lowell’s often cited tribute to the month of Juneimmortalized our collective appreciation for the perfect weather conditions which can be experienced during this month of the year. Aside from the weather however, Lowell’s famous lines bear no resemblance to what this month has come to reallyrepresent in Rhode Island for far too many years now. Since June in Rhode Island is truly when far reaching public policy, and major public spending decisionsare set, perhaps it’s time to scrap the costs and burden of staging the previous five months.
The passage of the $8 billion dollar budget and handling of the more than 100 bills that moved through the RI General Assembly in the final days, represent a betrayal of transparent, accountable government in a litany of ways, but unfortunately it’s all how the June game is played.
Proper consideration of the centerpiece legislation connected to the state’s third highest source of revenue, casino gambling, that holds decades of impact, would seem to dictate that a greater opportunity for review was needed than what just occurred. But since the lobbyist constructed final bill intentionally only emerged Tuesday, legislative voices like House Minority leader Brian Newberry, who was correctly issuing concern over the comparatively low 18% rate set as the state’s take on the proposed table games, was drowned out in the flurry of final activity.
The Legislature’s treatment of public education initiatives was likewise the victim of the June treatment as a far reaching and ill-advised measure that willdownsize the scope of the public policy setting boards which oversee the state’s entire public education system from preschool through college only emerged within the past ten days with no chance for public input or substance based review. Though the governance of the Board of Regents and the Board of Governors for Higher Ed has hardly been without flaws, current day complexities dictate two separate and fully engaged Boards for grade school education and the college system and it is shameful that the Legislature has so carelessly, rapidly and with no public input, reconstituted them.
In the meantime, forward looking education reforms submitted months ago, like the solid bill from RICAN, (RI Campaign for Achievement Now)to move the pink slip date from March 1 to June 1 to avert unnecessary staff chaos in local schools, could not garner real traction and was abandoned for this year. The bright spot on education coming out of the session supposedly is the $33 million in education aid approved for local school districts, and it’s true the aid is needed. However, sending aid to cities and towns for the school districts but ignoring their pleas for legislative relief to their top budget pressure, the pension contribution payments, does not qualify as a session that helped local communities in an area where they critically need it. Once again, the dog and pony hearing show was staged over the winter and spring months but what really counted came in June and in the final tally, the meat of the Governor’s Municipal Relief and Pension Reform legislation was not acted on, and only marginal pieces, like year to year level funding were advanced.
But there was no greater insult to the state taxpayers than the Legislature’s failure to look at the elephant in the room. It is a failure of leadership that the session closed down with no visible, tangible General Assembly plan to seek accountability for the far reaching and staggeringly costly public-private misadventure between the EDC and 38 Studios. A legislative proposal that surfaced in the final days from Senator Nicholas Kettle to abolish the EDC in the immediate term while federal probes and a state police investigation into the financial practices of 38 Studios proceed, received little attention.
But meantime, the June game of favor granting to various General Assembly alumni or insiders played out. Former Speaker Bill Murphy’s lobbying for the loan shark styled Advance America cash loan operation succeeded in holding off interest rate changes which were being sought by a large, broad coalition of reform groups. Lifelong plum appointments to the court system were also squeezed in during the final rush as former Senator Charles Levesque was given a Family Court Magistrate post and John Flynn, legal counsel to Speaker Fox was doled out his, as Magistrate to the Drug Court, just to name a few.
In the coming months, as re-election season heats up, Rhode Islander scan expect to hear the refrain that you won’t achieve different results if you don’t change the people in the seats. But as recent days have proven, changing the faces without changing the process ---won’t really change much I’m afraid. A campaign mantra needs to emerge that will be aimed not just at changing some of the faces-- but will be aimed at changing the shame of June.

Polk Officials Split by Growth Plan Amendments
Published: Thursday, April 8, 2010 at 11:38 p.m.
Last Modified: Thursday, April 8, 2010 at 11:38 p.m.
BARTOW | County commissioners split Wednesday on growth amendments that involved major changes in the county's growth plan.
Commissioner Jean Reed dissented on three amendments involving major revisions of the county growth map, and said she wanted more details.
The amendments were the result of a periodic review of the county's growth plan that is required by state law.
The Polk County Planning Commission voted 4-2 last month to deny some of the proposed changes.
The next step will be review by the Florida Department of Community Affairs, whose comments should be available by early summer.
The growth plan changes return to the County Commission for formal adoption on Aug. 4.
The centerpiece of the change that was most controversial was the creation of a Transit Supportive Development Area, which replaced and expanded the county's Urban Development Area growth map category, in which the most intense residential development in unincorporated Polk County is allowed.
The main amendment was intended to encourage new development to locate along transit corridors and at key areas along those corridors by allowing development as high as 40 units per acre because the areas are projected to be served by transit, water, sewer and other urban infrastructure.
Under the current growth plan, the maximum is 15 units per acre.
Reed said she was uncomfortable with the extent of the growth map changes, arguing some of it is clearly unjustified.
In related action, commissioners voted to:
Approve a plan to approve the Gateway Special Area Plan that lays out general principles for future development along the State Road 60 corridor between Lake Wales and Bartow near the planned Winter Haven CSX rail terminal and industrial park.
Approved changes in the growth map totaling 265 acres for future residential development south of Crews Lake Drive.

The Sun and the Moon
By서희주Hee Ju Seo, Class 3-6
Once there was a mother. The mother sold rice cakes. One day the mother met a tiger. The tiger said, “If you give me a rice cake I won’t eat you”. So the mom gave him a rice cake but the tiger kept saying, “If you give me a rice cake, I won’t eat you.” But finally there was no more rice cake so the tiger ate the mom, so the mom died that night.
The tiger wore the mother’s clothes so he visited the mother’s house. There was a sister and a brother inside. The tiger wanted to eat them. So he looked like he was their mom, but the brother felt it was not their mother. They went outside and climbed the tree and they said to the sky “Please let a rope fall”. So a strong rope came down.
The tiger said “Please give me a rope too.” So a weak rope came down. The tiger fell down to the ground. The brother and sister became the sun and the moon.
By송명아 Myeong-a Song, Class 3-1
Once there were one good brother, sister and mother who lived in a town in the mountains. The mother went out to sell rice cake. The brother and the sister waited for her at the door. Suddenly someone knocked. However, through the door came a tiger’s paw. The brother and the sister were scared, but calmly went out into the backyard.
The brother and sister walked up to the top of the backyard trees. The brother and the sister searched for the tiger but the well was dry. The brother and the sister could not be seen in the tree they hid in. So instead of climbing the tree the tiger had slipped and fallen. The brother and sister watched and laughed a lot.
Then a rope from the sky suddenly began to come down. The brother and the sister climbed the rope quickly. Another rope came down and the tiger began to climb. But his rope snapped because it was weak. The tiger died. The sister, scared of the night, became the sun.The brother became the moon.

Hero MotoCorp is all set to launch its new 125 cc scooter, the Hero Destini 125, tomorrow, on October 22, in India. First revealed to us early this year in February, at the Auto Expo 2018 as the Duet 125, the new Destini 125 is the first 125 cc model to join the company scooter line-up and will take on the likes of the TVS NTorq 125, Honda Grazia, and the Suzuki Burgman Street 125. There is already a fair bit that is known about the upcoming Hero Destini 125, except for the pricing, which will be revealed only at the time of the launch.
We do have some expectations with regards to the pricing of the new Hero Destini 125. So, considering the regular 110 cc Duet tops out at ₹ 49,900 (ex-showroom, Delhi), in our opinion, the new Destini 124 will be priced in the range of ₹ 52,000 to ₹ 55,000 (ex-showroom). Hero is known to offer multiple variants for its scooters based on steel wheels vs alloy wheels and drum brakes vs disc brakes, and we can expect a similar variant classification for the Destini 125 as well.
Hero Destini 125 will be powered by a 125 cc single-cylinder, air-cooled engine
In terms of features, the Hero Destini 125 will include an optional front disc brake, Integrated Braking System (IBS), side stand indicator, service reminder, pass switch, external fuel filling and more. The Destini 125 has been completely developed in-house at the company’s Centre of Innovation and Technology (CIT) in Jaipur.
Powertrain wise, the new Hero Destini 125 will be powered by a 125 cc single-cylinder, air-cooled engine, which is essentially a bored out version of the 110 cc mill frim the Duet 110. The engine is likely to offer 8.7 bhp at 6750 rpm and 10.2 Nm of peak torque available at 5000 rpm, and has been tweaked to offer better low-end power for higher urban usability. Maximising fuel efficiency, the Destini 125 will be the first Hero scooter to get idle-start-stop-system (i3S system).

X Factor heart-throb Jay James Picton met his wife after he saw her presenting a late-night TV show and sent her a message online.
Former glamour model Victoria revealed the couple met in 2007 after Jay, who was serving in the Royal Navy, spotted her on a satellite TV show called Show Off UK.
Knowing he had to meet her, Jay, who is one of Simon Cowell's favourites in the ITV singing contest, sent her a quirky message via YouTube in a bid to win her heart.
And Jay's cause was helped as Victoria's late mum had come to her in a seance and predicted she would marry a man in uniform who was either Welsh or Italian.
Victoria said that - aside from his cheeky charm - Jay, from Saundersfoot in Pembrokeshire fitted perfectly with a cryptic description of the man who would make her happy that she had received from beyond the grave from her late mother.
She told Wales Online: "My mum died of cancer in 2005. It was the worst time of my life.
"I went to see a spiritualist that mum had been to see to have her cards read a few years before.
"Mum actually came through to me and said that in two years time all of my hurt was going to get easier.
"She said 'You are going to be the happiest you have ever been and you are going to meet the man of your dreams'.
"She said his name begins with J and he will be wearing a uniform'. Obviously J was in the Navy.
"She said he will be younger than you but he will be all man, he won't be just a boy."
But to cap things off the spiritualist said Victoria's suitor would be 'Welsh or Italian'.
"She gave a little wink," laughed Victoria.
"I literally thought to myself, then made a bit of a joke, that I've never really met a hot Welshman and I hoped he would be Italian."
Victoria, 35, was working as a TV presenter on a late-night satellite TV show when she first heard from Jay.
"It was quite an interactive show with people with sending their clips and as presenters we commented on them. At the time Jay was in the Navy. He and his friends had been watching and started to send in some funny stuff.
"In his words Jay said that it was my personality on the show that drew him to me. He said he loved that I was quick-witted, and thought 'wow she's really funny and really, really beautiful'."
After searching for Victoria on the internet to find out more about her, Jay come up with a way to try and grab her attention.
"He found me on YouTube and then sent me a really, really funny message on there. He signed off 'the Welsh hide and seek champion 1998'.
"I'd never received an email like that before. It was really funny and we just started to communicate with each other.
"I checked out his MySpace site and I thought 'wow he's funny and he's fit... and Welsh.'"
As Jay was in the Navy sailing to Norway at the time, it was two months before the pair met in person,
"When we were chatting something finally clicked, he said he was in the Navy his name is Jay and he was from Wales.
"I just laughed and said 'I've been told I'm going to marry somebody like you'."
But it wasn't just Victoria who had wedding bells in mind early on. During their first date in Portsmouth for a meal, Jay confessed he wanted to marry Victoria.
"After a few minutes of us being there - I didn't realise at the time - he'd gone to the toilet to ring his best mate to tell him 'I'm going to marry this girl'.
"From the first time we met it felt like we've known each other for years. It felt really familiar."
The couple married in 2010 and they now have a 13-month-old daughter Nova.
"For me it was just perfect I felt like mum and had a part in bringing us together, even though she's not here with me.
"If mum could've picked the perfect guy for me, I know that Jay would have been it. He is just everything that I could ever dreamed of, and I know that she would have absolutely loved him."
But Victoria's mum Jill, whose middle name was Nova, still had a part to play in the new family's life.
"When I fell pregnant we decided not to find out what sex the baby was. We wanted it to be a surprise but we had assumed it would be a boy.
"Halfway through the pregnancy I found a card from my mum, she'd signed it off at the bottom 'I love you my bright shining star'. I went to sleep that night and the next day I thought we better think of a girl's name.
"It was a no-brainer. I told Jay my mum's middle name was Nova and he loved it.
"I rang my dad to ask him how he felt about us naming the baby after mum, and he was delighted. He said 'do you know what it means?' His exact words were 'bright shining star', exactly what mum had put in her card."
But faced with bringing up a baby in the hustle and bustle of London, Victoria and Jay decided to move last year.
Having fallen in love with beautiful Pembrokeshire during visits home with Jay, Victoria liked the idea of moving there to bring up baby Nova, so they set up home in Saundersfoot in June 2013.
"It's such a lovely place and we felt it would be a better place to bring up Nova," said Victoria.
The X Factor continues tonight at 8pm on ITV.

Texas v. U.S., 2018 WL 6589412 (N.D. Tex. 2018)
A federal trial court has held that, beginning in 2019, the Affordable Care Act (ACA) is unconstitutional. Several states (including Texas) challenged the constitutionality of the ACA’s individual mandate after the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act (TCJA) reduced the penalty for failing to have minimum essential coverage (the shared responsibility payment) to zero beginning in 2019 (see our Checkpoint article). They argued that, based on the U.S. Supreme Court’s holding in National Federation of Independent Businesses (NFIB) (see our Checkpoint article), the individual mandate was unconstitutional unless permitted under Congress’s power to tax; because the mandate will no longer trigger a tax in 2019 when the shared responsibility payment produces no revenue, it cannot be sustained by the taxing power. They also argued that the mandate could not be severed from the rest of the ACA, so the entire ACA should be struck down. The federal government agreed with the challenging states that the mandate was unconstitutional, so other states were permitted to intervene. The intervening states argued that the individual mandate was still constitutional after the TCJA under Congress’s powers to tax and to regulate interstate commerce, and that it was severable from the remainder of the ACA.
The court held that the individual mandate is unconstitutional because it cannot be read as triggering a tax when the shared responsibility payment is zero. And according to the court, the mandate was an impermissible regulation of interstate commerce under the reasoning of NFIB. The court also held that the mandate could not be severed from the rest of the ACA, noting that the ACA’s text states multiple times that the mandate is essential and the keystone of the law. In addition, the court reasoned that under the U.S. Supreme Court’s decisions in NFIB and King v. Burwell (which upheld the ACA’s premium tax credit—see our Checkpoint article), the mandate was not severable from the rest of the law. Because upholding the ACA in the absence of its “signature provision” would change the effect of the law as a whole, the court declared the ACA’s remaining provisions inseverable from the unconstitutional individual mandate and therefore invalid.
EBIA Comment: Notably, the court did not issue an injunction halting enforcement of the ACA, and HHS has issued a news release cautioning that the decision is not a final judgment and that it “will continue administering and enforcing all aspects of the ACA.” Thus, the ACA continues in force as we wait for this case to work its way through the courts. For more information, see EBIA’s Health Care Reform manual at Sections I.D (“Judicial Challenges to Health Care Reform”) and XXIX (“Shared Responsibility for Individuals (Individual Mandate)”).

In long-term bull markets, there are often lulls.
For example, if you look at the Nasdaq bull market of 1982 to 2000, you will see that at its 1990 low, it had gone nowhere since its 1983 high. That is seven years of near-flat movement despite being in a long-term bull market.
Right now, we have seen a near yearlong consolidation in gold and a near two-year consolidation in the stocks.

However, I still think the long-term trend is to head higher.
If you look at economic slowdowns in India and China, the eurozone crisis and the looming debt crisis in the United States, there is little else for these countries to do but to cut interested rates and print money.
Smart money is doing this: Soros Fund Management LLC, founded by the 81-year-old billionaire, more than tripled its investment in the SPDR Gold Trust in the first quarter to 319,550 shares, now valued at $50.2 million, an SEC filing May 15 showed. It held as few as 42,800 shares last year and as many as 6.2 million at the end of 2009.
John Paulson has helped his GLD position in the first quarter.

Therefore, both are ignoring short-term weakness and getting ready for a huge round of money printing to come.
Gold stocks are a special opportunity because by certain valuation metrics, they are cheaper than their 2008 lows and are as cheap as they have ever been.
Therefore, with the big money still long gold and gold stocks cheap — this brings a unique opportunity in the gold sector.
I didn't think we would see as good as buying opportunity in gold stocks as we saw in 2000 and 2008. However, we have one yet again.
If you have missed out on the gold bull market, I would use the recent weakness to take advantage and get in.

Dhulabari Market at East Jhapa Nepal:-
JUL 16 - Dhulabari. A place many people remember as a one-time shopping hub, where they might have bought a radio, a pair of Levi’s jeans, decorative artifacts to hang in their living rooms or even some diamond jewellery. Established in 1977, the market was an icon of sorts this side of Jhapa, and often referred to as the “foreign goods market” by customers scouting for overseas-made products in the area.
But Dhulabari no longer remains the vibrant marketplace it was a decade ago. Though there still exist more than 400 shops in the 1 km-long shopping strip, the turnout of visitors is relatively low these days compared to the past. It used to be that Indian customers from nearby places like Siliguri, Darjeeling, Sikkim, and even Calcutta would come, lured by the Chinese and Thai goods available in Dhulabari. But now these Indian shoppers have dwindled owing to the availability of foreign products in their own markets after the Nathu La border—which connects Sikkim in India and Tibet in China—had been unblocked, allowing Sino-Indian trade to resume. Nathu La is one of three trading border-posts between the two countries. Sealed by India after the 1962 Sino-Indian War, Nathu La had been reopened in 2006 following numerous bilateral trade agreements.
As Chinese goods flowed into Indian markets unimpeded, the shopkeepers at Dhulabari began moving into India themselves. According to a member of Mechi Federation of Nepalese Chamber of Commerce and Industries (M-FNCCI), many thriving businesses like Manjushree Traders, Puja Stores and other local Dhulabari stores were soon shut down. Some have reportedly started business anew in Siliguri and Calcutta.
“There was a time when we’d have long queues of customers in our shops, but that rarely happens nowadays,” says Dhruva Oli, a shop-owner at Dhulabari, and one of the few who have stayed behind. Locals say that the parking area on the side of the road would have been jammed with vehicles brought in by Indian customers in the past, but at the moment, few such vehicles are seen on the road. “Even during the time of festivals, the market is very quiet. It’s a disappointing sight for all of us here,” adds Oli.
While certainly one of the driving forces, the reopening of Nathu La isn’t the sole reason for the waning of the Dhulabari market. “Currently, agreements between India and China limit trade across the border to 29 types of goods from India and 15 from the Chinese side, which is quite an insubstantial exchange if you consider the size of the market,” says a local entrepreneur. Instead, businessmen and the locals unanimously cite the lack of security in the area as a significant cause for the desertion of Dhulabari by traders. The decade-long Maoist insurgency, for instance—which affected Jhapa and nearby regions after 2001—had been a major setback for business in Dhulabari. It was only after the second Jana Andolan and the restoration of democracy in the country that the area had become relatively peaceful, and entrepreneurs had seen reason for hope.
Before long, however, their newfound enthusiasm was once again incapacitated by the insecurity that prevailed following the looting and killing in 2008 of Aatma Ram Agrawal, one of the more well-known entrepreneurs in the area. “Other minor lootings and thefts that occurred in the meantime also discouraged the businessmen,” says Prahlad Oli, the vice-chairman of M-FNCCI. According to Oli, more than a dozen shops were looted in the last month alone. “If this the way things are going to be, it will become impossible to continue our business here,” says Pawan Agrawal, owner of a business firm. The culture of bandas has been another deterrent. Jhapa has long-been a fertile breeding ground for different ethnic outfits, who frequently call bandas. According to Keshav Raj Panday, the chairman of M-FNCCI, “On these days, everything comes to a standstill. Entrepreneurs are understandably
frustrated with the uncertainty that’s come to rule their lives. You can’t blame them for wanting to move elsewhere.”
The above-mentioned factors have thus collectively affected the market in Dhulabari, a market that was once a veritable landmark in the area, and one known particularly for its selection of foreign goods. If the lax security situation is to continue, and if nothing concrete by way of protection is offered to shopkeepers and entrepreneurs, this little gem of a shopping strip could very well be on its way to becoming completely abandoned, reduced to nothing more than a blip in history.

Wide laboratory search was done to evaluate brick units in single, and test the prisms built from brick unit by use ultrasonic waves in non-destructive test. The results show that the pulse velocity increases with increasing compressive strength and time of construction. From this paper we can estimate compressive strength for building unit by find the equation of the curve ,then we can estimate compressive strength for building sample, for example bricks from pulse velocity of ultrasonic waves without need destructive test.

- The anarchist's myth: autonomy, children and state legitimacy

Philosophical anarchists have made their living criticizing theories of state legitimacy and the duty to obey the law. The most prominent theories of state legitimacy have been called into doubt by the anarchists' insistence that citizens' lack of consent to the state renders the whole justificatory enterprise futile. Autonomy requires consent, they argue, and justification must respect autonomy. In this essay, I want to call into question the weight of consent in protecting our capacity for autonomy. I argue that if we care about all of the preconditions for autonomy, then we have good reasons to leave the state of nature. This leaves the philosophical anarchist with a dilemma. If she truly cares about autonomy, then she must welcome the state. But if she wants to deny the legitimacy of the state because of the value of consent, then she needs to downplay the moral significance of autonomy in people's lives. If autonomy matters, the state does too. If it doesn't, then consent doesn't. The philosophical anarchist can't have it both ways.

Durable and impressively rugged, these Rocker Steps will enhance your Wrangler with unique lines and a textured finish for the aggressive look you’ve been seeking.
Durable Construction. These tubular side steps are crafted from quality steel for reliable, durability and long lasting strength. They feature a tough, textured black powder coat finish for aggressive styling that will also help prevent damaging rust and corrosion.

Application. These Barricade Extreme HD Rocker Steps will fit all 2007-2018 Jeep Wrangler JK 2 door models.
Jennifer K (verified owner) –
I replaced a pinch seam mounted rail with these steps. These mount to the body mounts (which are attached to the frame) so even if you use them off road, your pinch seam won’t get pushed in. I would say for an avid off roader, these will offer a mid grade level of protection and definitely offer much more clearance than a nerf bar or steps that stick down. If your Jeep is lifted, I would suggest grab handles because it is slightly harder to get in. Love the platform style step areas. They make it easy to access the roof and hood on a lifted Jeep. Very easy install!!!
Liz F (verified owner) –
This is a great, affordable pair of side steps and it is a very simple installation. My only recommendation would be to use a sealant if you’re planning to go offroading to ensure that the finish does not chip.
Derek (verified owner) –
It took me about 30 mins to install and that included prep time. 8 bolts. They look amazing, but now I have to upgrade something else.
Joshua B (verified owner) –
PROS: Looks good. Very sturdy product and the powder coat on it looks good. Would definitely recommend to anyone. Pretty beefy. Doesn’t flex at all when being stepped on.
CONS(not really cons, just being picky) Little bigger then expected, and having another person on hand to help with the installation would have helped the process.
Took about hour and a half to install
Anthony D (verified owner) –
Purchased these steps for my 2014 Wrangler 2-Door and installed them today. Installation was a breeze. The textured finish looks great and seems durable. The build quality is superb.
I have already recommended them to 3 of my friends!

Born in Chungking, China, Hailun spent her early childhood in mainland China. She traveled with her parents through Nanking, Shanghai and Hong Kong and finally settled in Taipei, Taiwan. She began her calligraphy training in Hong Kong when she was in the fourth grade. After high school, she continued her study of brush painting under the renowned masters Hwang Chun Bi, Fu Shin Yu, and Liu Shi.
In 1962 Hailun won first prize in an art contest sponsored by China News Week. She continued to serve as a representative of Taiwan for several art shows in Japan and Korea. After graduating with a BA in English Literature from National Taiwan University, Hailun continued her study of art in the United States at New York University, City College of New York and the Art Students League.
She received her MS in Mathematics in 1973 from the University of Bridgeport, Connecticut and continued to teach Mathematics there for several years. She also taught calligraphy and Chinese brush painting at the Chinese Language School in Stamford, Connecticut, and in her studio in Westport, Connecticut. From 1990 to 1998 she worked in Westport, Connecticut as a graphic artist for Popshots Inc. where she designed 3 dimensional greeting cards.
Hailun's art is founded solidly on her early training in Chinese calligraphy and brush painting. However, her subsequent experience with live model drawings and pastel and oil paintings at the Art Students League and NYU piqued her interest to tackle Western subjects and technique. It is the subtle fusion of East and West that inspires her to search and bring out the best in her vision of lyricism and beauty.

The most genuine activity in Lapland, rewarding also for the absolute beginner
Put on your wilderness skis and grab the ski poles, enjoy the ease of skiing across the thick snow blanket
More about wilderness skiing
Skis and skiing rank among the most fundamental things in Lapland. They are so much more than a fun activity. The local people have skied for several thousands of years for everything that really matters: hunting and fishing tours in the wilderness for survival, gathering and protecting reindeer from the predators, meetings other people in the sparsely populated region and exploring new areas, too.
The purest way of skiing is what we call wilderness skiing. Instead of following man-made ski tracks around the ski resort, wilderness skier heads in the forest, in unbroken snow. The latest equipment and qualified guiding make it easy to join the noble tradition – exploring the unbroken snowfields of large Taiga forest on skis in a peaceful and rather slow manner. It is not about the exercise, it is about encountering the nature, it is about joining the heritage of wilderness skiing in relaxed yet respectful manner.
Skiing equipment consists of skis and poles. The skis and are at the same time modern and ancient: the 145 cm long and 10 cm wide ski design is among the oldest ever discovered. Short skis are easy to maneuver in forested areas, and the wide design prevents the skier from sinking too deep in snow. An integrated synthetic climbing skin under the ski provides traction in uphill. It successfully imitates the original design of using a slice of elk or reindeer skin for this purpose and keeps the speed safe also in the gentle downhill sections in the forest.
Wilderness skiing poles could be telescopic or fixed. Most important is that they are long enough, roughly until the skier’s armpits, and the snow baskets need to be large to perform well in soft snow.
Wilderness skiing requires very little technique yet rewards significantly.
The whole of Pyhä-Luosto area makes a very rewarding environment for wilderness skiing. Pyhä-Luosto National Park could be the most appealing destination, though also for example Soutaja area, Lake Pyhäjärvi in Pyhä and Ahvenlampi area and Ukko-Luosto in Luosto make a strong location candidate, too. Don’t forget your camera at home, since wilderness skier tends to get to gorgeous places rarely seen people on foot or by car.
Do I need earlier experience?
If you’d enjoy entering the Arctic Taiga forest the peaceful, beyond-traditional way, wilderness skiing is for you. No skiing experience is required, the Bliss guides will be delighted to instruct you the safe and fun wilderness skiing technique.
Ski through the unbroken snow in forest like a local! The most genuine activity in Lapland, rewarding also for the absolute beginner. A guide will be delighted to instruct you the safe and fun wilderness skiing technique.
Head out to the true Arctic wilderness on Altai skis and let Mother Nature remind you what life is all about.
Our Altai skis require no groomed areas, no lifts, no tickets. In fact, they prefer it that way!
Explore the true Arctic wilderness on Altai skis, across the thick snowblanket of vast aapa bogs and through old-growth forest. Spend an unforgettable night in a real Finnish wilderness hut in the middle of nowhere, surrounded by the Lappish peacefulness.
Join an unique multi-day ski & snowshoe tour, explore the best of Pyhä-Luosto National Park and the Arctic nature and tradition. Spend magical nights in a winter tent under Lapland’s big skies, often lit by the Northern Lights!

Dr Rogers is the only doctor I can relate to at Harlestone Road. She takes the time listen and really tries to understand. She is the sort of doctor you can in to see, be at breaking point (mental health) have a full physical, come out feeling ten times better, but you don't have a prescription. She is the best doctor I have ever had.
Amazing Doctor. Ticks all the boxes of Good Medical Practice as advised by the GMC., some of them in bold. She has a very calming voice., puts you at ease., listens patiently., very helpful with personal circumstances when organising tertiary care. She has all the qualities of an ideal GP in a busy world.

I had a dream early this morning, long before dawn.
I was standing on a highway overpass, overlooking a city’s downtown on a gray and still day. Somehow, I knew this city was in Central New York, where I had spent my journalism years, but something was different. I was confused.
I had planned to walk into town, but I was overwhelmed with apprehension, a sense that I should remain on that overpass. So I did, and in that moment, the first building began to fall. It had been leaning slightly already, but the pressure was too great. It crumbled and crashed into the next building, which also collapsed.
The weight of the rubble broke a nearby dam and the highway below me became an instant river, turbulent and wide. I saw no one — no people fighting the current, no vehicles floating downstream, no bodies anywhere. I heard nothing — no crash of concrete and steel, no rushing water, no screams.
My decision had isolated and insulated me.
I was alone on the overpass, safe and alive and terrified.

This past week in training.... We found a bunch of adventurous bike paths in LA, met a cool guy on a bike named Joe, biked to Malibu,
hung out with some old NYC friends, and got stalked by a friendly dog.
We discovered several great LA bike paths, here's a quick review of each.
LOS ANGELES BIKE PATHS
Rio Hondo: A short bike path that goes through the Whittier Narrows Recreation Area, and ends at the Peck Rd park. Both of the parks have a beautiful lake in the middle of it. Lots of street exits along the way to get on and off the bike path. A nice ride I would recommend to anyone. The best part was at the end of the ride we were only a hop and a skip away from King Taco, where we pigged out on $2 quesadillas, $1 tacos and tamales, and a chocolate chip cookie. Biking has been awesome for our metabolism. We eat ice cream, tacos, and IHOP at midnight and are still getting skinny.
LA River: We biked from Monterey Park to Griffith Park and then biked along the LA River back to Downtown LA. Griffith Park has a very nice bike path with lots of trees and shade, and it's very scenic (the zoo and the ponies stables) it's an easy ride not too hilly, but the actual bike path inside the park is quite short. The Griffith Park bike path leads to the LA River bike path,which runs right along the 5 Freeway. The only thing separating the bike path and the freeway is a crappy old fence. Unless you enjoy getting high off of exhaust fumes, make sure you don't ride during rush hour traffic.
Upper San Gabriel River: We biked from Longo Toyota in South El Monte to Irwindale to get on the bike trail. This was probably my favorite trail. I felt like I was in an 80's movie as the teen from the wrong side of the tracks. It's a narrow elevated bike path that runs along the SG river. Biking along the route you can see a metamorphosis of the river from sludgey sewage, to swamplands, to pretty river bed with trees, to backdrop for Huck Finn. On this route we made a new friend Joe. A super nice guy, who breeds pitbull, once drove to Panama from California, and works in an assisted living home.
Joe: Hey, can I ride with you guys?
Joe: Do you guys know any bike tricks?
Deb: No, do you?
Santa Monica to Malibu: Most of the bike route along the beach is super flat and easy for cruising. If you're a serious biker don't come here especially on the weekends when it is packed full of tourist on dumb cruiser bikes wobbling around between both lanes. It made me feel a little bit like an asshole in spandex when I kept having to yell "LEFT" to all the tourists on their rental bikes. Great for a relaxing ride, not so good for training. Get off the bike path and get on PCH to Malibu, that's where the real training comes in. You not only have to concentrate on riding a very straight line so you don't get hit by speeding oncoming traffic, but you also have to do it on a very steady continuous incline. Check out Malibu riding in photo below. Debbie's Dangerous spandex outfit got a ton of cat calls and honks.
Note on catcallers in LA: Dudes in LA are chickenshit when it comes to hollering at girls. They only catcall girls from a moving car so they can make a quick getaway. One time Debbie and I caught up to a car full of boys that had just catcalled us and they looked at us like deer in headlights. All I know is, my homies in Harlem at least were man enough to step to me and ask for my number and invite me to dinner. Next time I'm going to bike up to a catcaller and scream, "You like this? Well you gotta take it out to dinner first. And we HUNGRY!"
Mid-San Gabriel River: One day we biked from Monterey Park to Norwalk in the mid-day sun. The bike ride was not as enjoyable as I thought it would be. I think we may have experienced beginning stages of heatstroke and we didn't eat breakfast that morning. I got really bored and then irritable, and then cursed at a woman driver for giving me the right of way on the road. I barely even remember the trail now. I think it was pretty boring and monotonous with few trees. Midway through Debs and I stopped at a Target and drank lemonade, and ate a loaf of bread, a bag of string cheese and a bunch of granola bars. We both felt a bit like we were from crazytown that day. Lesson learned, no more riding hungry in mid-day sun!
Because weekends are made for fun.... We gave ourselves a day off over the weekend and drove to brunch with some NYC expats. It was a beautiful day in Echo Park. We are going to stay with Walter (on the right) in San Diego. He is officially the first host on the Girls Gone Wildlife bike tour!!!! Thank you!!!
Later that day a really cute crazy dog named Oso stalked me and Debbie on our way back to our ride. Debbie wanted to take it on our bike tour. It followed us for blocks. I kept having to tell Debbie don't look at him, stop turning around. It was a little bit cute and sad. I thought we would have to throw rocks at him. "Get out of here you stupid dog. You're free! Run! Go!!!" like the White Fang, The Yearling and all that other Disney shit that makes children cry.

Robert Fulford won the Dorset Open GC Championship (Open Series)
Robert Fulfordby Jonathan Powe at East Dorset
28th July (GC - Championships)
After experiencing the heady heights of the Championship Series last year, the Dorset Open reverted back to the Open Series this year. It made little difference to the quality of the field, which included six players with handicaps of -3 or better. Robert Fulford joined us for the first time, as did Tim O'Donnell who has appeared near the top of the UK rankings after some impressive performances at Hamptworth and elsewhere in recent years. Many of the usual suspects were there again including Lionel Tibble, back after a year off in 2021, and Steve Leonard, fresh from his victory at the GC Veterans the week before.
As usual, sixteen entrants were split into two blocks of 8, which produced 8 quarter-finalists for the Knockout and 8 for the Plate.
There were a couple of surprises in the Block A. Both Paul Durkin (4/7 wins) and Les Heard (3/7) qualified at the expense of Steve Leonard (3/7) and Stephen Custance-Baker (3/7), Les making it through on net points. The other qualifiers were Fulford (7/7) and Tibble (6/7).
Block B ran largely to form. The qualifiers were Stuart M Smith (7/7), Tim O'Donnell (6/7), Jonathan Powe (5/7) and David Bell (4/7).
There were some interesting moments in the Championship Knockout. First, when Paul Durkin won the first game in his QF against Tim O'Donnell 7-4 and took the second game to the 13th hoop. Tim coped well with the pressure, running the 13th to level the match before winning the third 7-3. This set up a fascinating semi-final clash between Tim and Robert, which proved to be a long and very tightly-fought battle. Tim won the first game 7-3 and took the second to the 13th with some excellent tactical play and strong hoop-running, but Robert's class shone through in the final game, taking the match 2-1.
In the other half of the draw, Lionel Tibble made his way to the final with little trouble, beating Powe (7-4, 7-5) and Smith (7-2, 7-4).
In the Championship Final, Robert raced ahead in the first game winning 7-1. Lionel came back strongly in the second and took an early lead, but an excellent jump shot by Robert at the 5th hoop, followed by a 10-yard hoop at the 6th brought Robert back into the game. He then won the 7th and 8th hoops, giving him control of the game before eventually winning the Championship at the 12th.
Steve Leonard's form rallied on Sunday and he emerged as the Plate winner, beating Stephen Custance-Baker 7-5 in the final.
Plate Final: Steve Leonard beat Stephen Custance-Baker 7-5
QF1: Robert Fulford beat David Bell 7-3, 7-2

West Houston retiree finds life richest when he's serving others
Tax time among Colten's favorite times
Published 5:30 am, Wednesday, April 4, 2007
As far as Oscar Colten is concerned, one of the best ways to live a full life is to find ways to serve others.
"It's the most precious thing in the world to help others," the west Houston resident said. "You have to do what you can."
Colten, who will turn 95 on April 24, has made service a priority since he retired from Shell Oil Co. in the 1970s.
He spent 10 years as a reader for Taping for the Blind, and he volunteered in the labs at M.D. Anderson Cancer Center for about eight years.
But he devoted the longest stretch of time to the AARP Tax-Aide Program. He spent 26 years with that program, from 1980 to 2006, before retiring.
The Tax-Aide program provides free tax preparation for low to middle income taxpayers with special attention to those age 60 and older.
Colten worked with clients at the Treemont Retirement Apartments on Westerland Drive.
He also spent several years training other Tax-Aide volunteers.
"The 26 years went by like a week," said Colten, who is an independent living resident at the Parkway Place Retirement Home.
"Volunteering with the Tax-Aide program provides opportunities to give back to the community," said Dennis Rohlfing, a Tax-Aide spokesperson.
"You meet so many interesting and worthwhile people. And you don't have to be an accountant or engineer to do this. You just have to want to help people."
Before Colten became a volunteer, he was a chemical engineer for Shell Oil Company.
He started his career in the midst of the Great Depression, after earning his doctorate degree in physical chemistry from the University of Michigan.
Initially, Colten worked at the company's St. Louis offices.
"The founder said people are the most important part of the company," Colten said. "He told us, 'We expect you to stay with us, and we're with you.'"
Colten would spend the next 40 years with Shell, working from offices in St. Louis, New York, California and Houston.
During World War II and the Korean War, he worked with engineers from other companies to design aviation gasoline plants.
He spent two stints in Houston. He came here for the first time in 1938.
"Houston was a tiny town of 300,000," Colten said. "We would go off to movies in the evening and never even lock the back door."
He stayed here until 1941 and didn't return until 1970, when Shell moved its headquarters from New York to Houston.
Colten was one of the first to move into the new One Shell Plaza offices in downtown Houston.
"The building was not even complete," he said. "We walked up wooden steps."
Colten decided to remain in Houston after retiring.
Today, he has family throughout the United States. He has two sons, Dr. Harvey Colten and Richard Colten, along with five grandchildren and 9 great-grandchildren.
Colten's ex-wife, Zina, the mother of his two sons, died in 1999.
Colten says he has a great deal to be grateful for, including the opportunities he's had to volunteer.
"I cherish the concept of helping folks who need help," he said. "That's one of my philosophies."

Ice Dam Control in Fargo?
Ice Dam Mitigation Tips
Ice dams occur when there are fluctuating temperatures on a roof allowing some areas to freeze, the “ice dam” and other areas to remain in a liquid state. The water that is backed up behind the ice dam causes water to seep underneath the roof shingles and exterior roof barriers and can cause water damage to the roof and attic spaces inside the structure. SERVPRO® of Fargo has been mitigating water damage in the Fargo-Moorhead area for years and know that many forms of water damage can be prevented, including ice dam damage. Here are some short-term, immediate tips from the University of Minnesota Extension (UMN) to help control ice dams:
- Remove snow from the roof.
- In an emergency situation where water is flowing into the house structure, making channels through the ice dam allows water behind the dam to drain off the roof.
- Hosing with tap water on a warm day will do this job.
- Work upward from the lower edge of the dam.
- The channel is a temporary solution and will become ineffective within days.
Call Us Today!
When your Fargo home or business has a water damage emergency, SERVPRO® of Fargo has a team of restoration technicians on call to serve you 24-hours a day. Call us at 701-232-2455. We’ll restore your property damage, “Like it never even happened.”

Sparks flew long before Michael Wolber and April Hartley said, "I do."
But these sparks started a different kind of fire – the Two Bulls fire, which has burned about 6,800 acres of brush and timber in central Oregon by Tuesday morning, according to authorities. Suddenly, an outdoor wedding with immaculate views was threatened.
"Right as the bride was about to walk down [the aisle], a firetruck came in sirens blaring and told the bride we had to evacuate," said Josh Newton on his Facebook page, who photographed the wedding in Bend, Oregon. "In tears, her father announced to all the guests that we had to move the wedding. Incredibly, the fireman then told us we could have the ceremony and then had to leave."
The fire may have shortened the wedding ceremony to 15 minutes, according to Wildfire Today, but the new Mr. and Mrs. Wolber were still able to tie the knot.
(PHOTOS: The Most Stunning Natural Wonder in All 50 States)
Once the ceremony ended and post-wedding festivities were being prepared, Newton and the newlyweds snuck away to take some smoky photos with the Two Bulls fire serving as the backdrop. What resulted were some of the most unique wedding photos you'll ever see.
By Wednesday night, the wildfire was 55 percent contained, the Central Oregon Fire Information Center reported.
(MORE: Here's Why a Teen Walked 40 Miles with His Brother on His Back)
An evacuation notice for about 50 homes northwest of Bend has been lifted. No structures have been lost.
Fighting the blaze has cost about $4.3 million so far, fire officials said.
Information from the Associated Press was used in this report.

It has been almost a year since I began working in the tea industry and during that time, I have managed to persuade a few people to change their drinking habits. The most important person I have influenced is my wife. She is Mexican and was an ardent coffee drinker.
We import tea from some of the most prestigious tea gardens in the world, from India to Sri Lanka to Kenya. I drink four to five cups of tea a day, initially without the addition of sugar or honey. I then evaluate each invoice and enjoy another cup, this time with some honey. Generally I avoid adding sugar because all tea tastes the same once sugar is added; the same is not true when I add honey.
My wife now drinks five to six cups of tea each day; in fact, she even has a teapot in her office. She finishes her day with an astringent Assam. I feel elated talking with her about grades, flushes, body, taste, flavors, and level of astringency. Now she is becoming an amateur tea taster! Yesterday we tasted and evaluated a first flush Makaibari; from my wife, I learned that the tea has the flavors of biscuit, almonds, and roasted nuts, that it is medium to light bodied with a lingering finish, and that it has a near perfect first flush balance. My wife is an example of how a person can change.
However, my work is not finished here. A few days ago, I received a message from celebrated chef and author of Cooking with Tea, Mr. Robert Wemischner, who is also a T Ching contributor, suggesting a collaboration with a culinary arts school in Mexico. I have been in touch with the chef and director of Le Cordon Bleu in Mexico City, Mr. Patrick Martin. Our tea company is hoping to collaborate with Le Cordon Bleu and Mr. Wemischner to continue the transformation of the Mexican palate when it comes to tea. In addition to serving tea in restaurants, we look forward to introducing main course recipes that include tea as well as desserts that are infused with tea. We see this as a small step toward a new tea culture in Mexico.

Jim Gibbons (R)
Catherine Cortez Masto (D)
CARSON CITY, Nev. (Legal Newsline)-The Nevada governor has a news conference planned for tomorrow to discuss how his administration will move forward on a lawsuit challenging the new federal health care overhaul.
Republican Gov. Jim Gibbons had pressed state Attorney General Catherine Cortez Masto, a Democrat, to file a lawsuit challenging the constitutionality of the law signed this month by President Barack Obama.
Masto declined the governor's request last week, sparking outcry from Gibbon's administration.
Gibbons said last week that several private lawyers have come forward offering to challenge the law on his administration's behalf, at no charge to the Silver State. Gibbons is widely expected to take them up on their offer.
His press conference tomorrow is scheduled to take place at the governor's office in Las Vegas.
Declining to join a group of more than a dozen Republican attorneys general and one of her Democratic colleagues in challenging the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act, Masto said she believes their lawsuit challenging the law is without merit.
The lawsuit contends that the element of the health care law what will require Americans to have medical insurance or face financial penalties is unconstitutional.
"There is no practical reason for Nevada to join in the litigation, absent a clear and separate legal interest that Nevada has apart from those other states," Masto said. "We are not aware of such a reason and you have not directed our attention to one."
Gibbons had sent Masto a terse letter urging her to conclude her legal analysis of the law and file suit.
"The health care legislation presents a question of federal powers versus states' power -- this is a second-year law school analysis," Gibbons wrote. "I understand your concern about spending public funds for frivolous lawsuits. However, a lawsuit initiated by 14 other attorneys general is hardly frivolous."
The health care overhaul is the most significant expansion of medical care since Congress created Medicare in 1965 for the nation's elderly and disabled.

As Occupy Wall Street reaches its two-month anniversary, the protest — with 4,049 arrests, countless police raids and three deaths to its name nationwide — was raided by police early Tuesday morning.
Police entered Occupy Wall Street’s Zuccotti Park site, using zip-tie handcuffs, spraying fire extinguishers and evacuating the 100 or so occupiers present — because, police announced, the city had “determined that the continued occupation of Zuccotti Park poses an increasing health and fire safety hazard.”
In Philadelphia, occupiers are carefully monitoring City Hall for hints of a similar raid order from Mayor and 1979 Wharton graduate Michael Nutter.
Conflict over possible evacuation of Dilworth Plaza — the site of Occupy Philadelphia — for a city construction project has strained municipal relations with the protesters.
“We just got some news that they’re probably not going to raid tonight,” School of Social Policy & Practice assistant professor and Occupy participant Toorjo Ghose said. “But we have a vigil going on to make sure that the risk times — 2 a.m. to 4 a.m. — are covered.” Ghose said a few Penn students and faculty members were staying overnight at City Hall.
Stanley Joseph, an unemployed information technology professional active with Occupy Philadelphia’s information committee, met city officials with a group of occupiers Tuesday evening. “They said they’d give us adequate time” if a raid were to occur, Joseph said. “[The city’s] worked so hard to avoid an Oakland incident, I can’t see them rampaging through here [and messing all that up],” he added, referring to the coarse and violent relationship between the city and protesters at California’s Occupy Oakland.
While Joseph was optimistic about the city’s attitude towards Occupy Philadelphia, Ghose disagreed. “We suspect there was a coordinated push” by mayors across the country “to demonize the movement,” he said.
While Occupy Philadelphia struggles with its logistical future, curiosity and interest in the movement seems strong inside Penn’s campus. OccupyPenn, which hosts general assembly meetings and teach-ins outside Van Pelt Library every Wednesday and Friday, has more than 100 people on its email listserv.
The Wharton Politics and Business Association also hosted a well-attended panel event Tuesday night. Three Wharton professors, an Urban Studies professor and media spokesperson for Occupy Wall Street William Buster discussed the role of the Penn community in social movements and examined the root causes of the Occupy movement.
At the panel, Buster both evoked and addressed the big problem critics have with the Occupy movement: its lack of cohesive leadership and clear demands. “We’re weeding out the real workers from the ‘hanger-ons’” at Occupy Wall Street, Buster said. “What we need are real workers … and not [people who] just sit in tents and strum banjos and smoke what they’re smoking.”
But when he was pushed to answer how a movement could both be “all-inclusive” and still discriminate between real occupiers and ‘hanger-ons,’ he replied with a hypothetical. A building could be on fire, he said, and some would ignore it because it isn’t on an agenda. “I’m a doer, not a talker. It’s for the good of the movement.”
Ghose framed the protest’s vagueness as a core strength. “Every movement faces questions of legitimacy — who is a legitimate part of this movement and who is not,” he said. But, he continued, “this is a natural part of the movement.” Opposition to the Occupy movement would love to see differences tear the movement apart, but “just because there are differences doesn’t mean a movement has a rift,” Ghose emphasized.
“I’m looking forward to see how we’re [going to] make larger goals of [Occupy] applicable to local issues,” Ghose added. “We are now in the phase of Occupy Next.”

Once again, the current Federal Administration, not having any facts to support its actions, turns to the politics of character assassination:
The Huffington Post has learned the Bush administration recently asked high ranking military leaders to denounce Congressman John Murtha. Congressman Murtha has called for the Bush Administration to withdraw US troops from Iraq.
Congressman Murtha responds:
“Questions about my record are clearly an attempt to distract attention from the real issue, which is that our brave men and women in uniform are dying and being injured every day in the middle of a civil war that can be resolved only by the Iraqis themselves.”
I am not a great fan of Congressman Murtha. By and large, I disagree with most of his positions on most issues. I’m not even sure it is right to characterize what is happening in Iraq as a civil war–certainly it did not start without the help of the U. S. invasion.
Nevertheless, it is clear he has his standards and he is willing to take a stand for what he believes in, even if it may not be a popular position with his district.
He has served the country well, though quietly.
The Bushies, though, know only one tactic: Attack the character of anyone whose point of view opposes theirs.
Mr. Murtha has the courage to fight back. God be with him.

When considering neurotransmitters having an effect on immune function, GABA is not one that commonly comes to mind. Yet, recent research has determined that GABA, the most calming neurotransmitter in the central nervous system, does have an effect on immune function.
A recent article, published by Bhat and colleagues in 2010, found that when dendritic cells, macrophages, and T cells are activated, there is an increase in the production and secretion of GABA by these cells. GABA can inhibit the production of IL-1β and IL-6 from antigen presenting cells, and GABAergic agents also inhibit the production of IL-17 and IFN-γ, both of which are inflammatory cytokines. GABA plays a role in immune system modulation to affect cytokine secretion, cell proliferation, phagocytic activity, and chemotaxis. It also appears that GABA levels will increase during an inflammatory response.
When GABA is elevated on a neurotransmitter report, don’t forget to consider the possibility of an inflammatory response. It’s possible that GABA is elevated to modulate immune system activity and additional support for GABA may still be warranted in some cases.

By knowing how much carbon 14 is left in a sample, the age of the organism when it died can be known. This man-made fluctuation wasnt a natural occurrence, but it demonstrates the fact that fluctuation is possible and that a period of natural upheaval upon the earth could greatly affect the ratio.

These tests produced a median age of 11,788 ± 8 BP (2σ confidence) which when calibrated gives a date range of 13,730 to 13,550 cal BP. The results were summarized in a paper in Science in 1947, in which the authors commented that their results implied it would be possible to date materials containing carbon of organic origin.
We must also assume that the ratio of C-12 to C-14 in the atmosphere has remained constant throughout the unobservable past (so we can know what the ratio was at the time of the specimens death). Discovery of Radiocarbon Dating (accessed October 31, 2017).

Libby and his team of scientists were able to publish a paper summarizing the first detection of radiocarbon in an organic sample. He is credited to be the first scientist to suggest that the unstable carbon isotope called radiocarbon or carbon 14 might exist in living matter. The advent of radiocarbon dating may even have led to better field methods in archaeology, since better data recording leads to firmer association of objects with the samples to be tested. Radiocarbon ages are still calculated using this half-life, and are known as Conventional Radiocarbon Age.
