Summary Tissue engineering (TE) and regenerative medicine are progressively developed areas due to many novel tissue replacements and implementation strategies. Increasing knowledge involving the fabrication of biomaterials with advanced physicochemical and biological characteristics, successful isolation and preparation of stem cells, incorporation of growth and differentiation factors, and biomimetic environments gives us a unique opportunity to develop various types of scaffolds for TE. The current strategies for soft tissue reconstitution or regeneration highlight the importance of novel regenerative therapies in cases of significant soft tissue loss and in cases of congenital defects, disease, trauma and ageing. Various types of biomaterials and scaffolds have been tested for soft tissue regeneration. The synthetic types of materials have gained great attention due to high versatility, tunability and easy functionalization for better biocompatibility. This article reviews the current materials that are usually the most used for the fabrication of scaffolds for soft TE; in addition, the types of scaffolds together with examples of their applications for the regenerative purposes of soft tissue, as well as their major physicochemical characteristics regarding the increased applicability of these materials in medicine, are reviewed.

In the 1990s, Langer and Vacanti first defined the term “tissue engineering” (TE) (Langer and Vacanti 1993). TE combines the fields of cell biology, biomaterial engineering and medicine to produce new functional tissues. The three main components that are required for the reconstitution or regeneration of damaged or diseased tissue are as follows: i) harvested cells from donor tissue; ii) biomaterial scaffolds, which support cell attachment, proliferation and/or differentiation, as well as possess sufficient physicochemical properties; and iii) chemical signals, such as cytokines and growth factors. The scaffolds play a major role in TE strategies. Three-dimensional (3D) scaffolds have been usually used to provide a structurally stable environment for tissue regeneration. A scaffold serves as an artificial extracellular matrix (ECM). A native ECM is a 3D network whose composition and structure interact with the cells and provide structural support, transfer mechanical forces and allow the transport of chemical signals.
Scaffold materials can be based on natural or synthetic polymers. They can be degradable or non-degradable, depending on the specific use. Natural polymers were among the first biodegradable scaffolds, which were clinically used for TE purposes (Dhandayuthapani et al. 2011), preferentially due to their better overall interaction with various cell types and lack of an immune response (Nair 2007). Synthetic polymers are largely studied and applied for TE. They were discovered to be cheaper and more easily functionalized than natural polymers, despite the potential for immune

These types of polymers are highly useful in biomedical fields for their properties e.g. porosity, degradation time and mechanical characteristics. Desired properties can be tailored for specific applications. They can be produced under controlled conditions and in large uniform quantities. They exhibit predictable, reproducible, mechanical and physical properties such as strength, elastic modulus, and degradation rate. The synthetic polymer scaffolds are widely combined with natural polymers, naturally isolated proteins or peptides to improve, for example, hydrophobicity, cell attachment and biodegradability.
Materials for TE should have mechanical properties suitable for reconstructing or replacing damaged tissues. Moreover, the materials must be biocompatible, meaning that they are non-cytotoxic, do not cause excessive immune responses, must be capable of mimicking ECM, and provide an optimal support for cell adhesion and proliferation, facilitating cell-to-cell contact and cell migration. The materials should further be majorly bioabsorbable over the appropriate time frame, being necessary for replacement by growing tissue, and the materials must be adaptable to scaffold manufacturing techniques.
Soft TE has been developed as an advanced strategy to repair damage in soft tissue or diseased soft tissues in the case when the natural ability of the body to repair small or moderate sized tissue damage has failed, and the process of reparation remains the real problem. Soft tissue covers a variety of tissues, such as skin, tendon, muscle, cartilage, nerves, fascia, intervertebral disc or blood vessels. These tissues often have supporting or connecting functions of the body structures and organs. Frequently in everyday life, soft tissue damage caused by congenital defects, disease, trauma and ageing often leads to non-self-healable defects (Xu et al. 2014). Autologous implantation is the first method of treating the defects or disease. Unfortunately, it has been shown that autologous tissue can be easily absorbed, and only up to 60 % of soft tissue cells remain viable (Bauer-Kreisel et al. 2010). In this view, the TE has been used to develop new biological substitutes to overcome barriers of current clinical treatments for repairing and regenerating damaged or diseased of soft tissues and organs.
This review is focused on providing an overview of the synthetic biomaterials used for scaffold fabrication for soft tissue reparation, the classification of the most
prevalent type of scaffolds, their important physicochemical characterizations in regard to soft tissue engineering applications, and examples of experimental and clinical applications. Physicochemical characteristics of scaffolds
Scaffolds serve as an active instrument to provide guidance for the formation of new tissue. Through known physicochemical properties and biological functions of damaged tissue, the scaffolds should be fabricated. The required characteristics are as follows:
1) External geometry, which influences interconnectivity 2) Porosity and pore size 3) Mechanical properties 4) Degradation properties 5) Biocompatibility and susceptibility to hosting cells
Surface properties such as surface area, charge, and chemical modification External geometry
Scaffolds should mimic a natural ECM in damaged tissue in such a way as to provide structural support and tensile strength, offer an attachment site or cell surface receptors that later influence tissue formation, and finally initiate regeneration. The scaffolds are prepared from nano- to macro-scale structural geometry. In the geometry of scaffolds, the maintenance of highly interconnected porous fabrics of high surface density has to be addressed. This maintenance can favor the better infiltration of cells, growth and regenerative components of the scaffold. Porosity and pore size
Porosity is one of the major factors for the appropriate ingrowth of cells and vascularisation. Pore size, pore distribution, pore volume, pore interconnectivity, pore shape, and pore wall roughness have to be addressed during the design of the scaffold. These pore properties are crucial for the growth of new tissues and their reorganization, which includes building up the cellular network and interconnected pathways for nutrient transportation, cell signalling and proliferation. The optimum pore sizes for neovascularization were demonstrated experimentally and were 5 µm (Brauker et al. 1995), 5-15 µm for fibroblast ingrowth (Klawitter and Hulbert 1971), 20 µm for hepatocyte ingrowth (Yang et al. 2001), or 20-125 µm for regeneration of adult

mammalian skin (Whang et al. 1999). It is also crucial to ensure the cells are approximately 200 µm from the blood supply to provide sufficient oxygen and nutrient transfer (Yang et al. 2001). In addition to appropriate porosity, the mechanical strength of the scaffolds has to be retained. Mechanical properties
The biostability of many scaffolds relies on factors such as strength, elasticity, and absorption at the material interface and given the chemical degradation of the material. These properties have to encourage the regeneration of the tissue. The biomaterial scaffold should also temporarily resist and conduct the loads and stresses that the new tissue can ultimately bear. It is important to evaluate rheological parameters, such as i) elastic modulus – measured strain in response to a given compressive stress along th

Rezz is the moniker of Isabelle Rezazadeh, a Canadian DJ/producer from Niagara Falls, Ontario. Born and raised in the Ukraine by her Ukrainian mother and Iranian father, she and her family moved to Canada when Isabelle was young. She also discovered music at an early age, and fell in love with EDM when she snuck into Toronto nightclubs while still in her teens. Rezazadeh began DJing at age 16 and moved into making her own dark, minimal-inspired productions soon after, teaching herself the basics with online tutorials. After gaining a following from songs she posted online, Rezz attracted the attention of stars such as Skrillex and Deadmau5; in 2015, she released the Insurrection EP on Skrillex's Nest imprint, then signed to Deadmau5's Mau5trap label, making her debut with the single "Serenity."
A pair of 2016 EPs -- January's The Silence Is Deafening and October's Something Is Wrong -- paved the way for her full-length debut, Mass Manipulation, which arrived in August 2017 via Mau5trap. Her full-length follow-up, Certain Kind of Magic, followed in 2018 and featured collaborations with Deathpact, Kotek, and Fytch. Led by high-profile tracks like "Falling," which featured Underoath, and the solo cut "Dark Age," Rezz's fourth EP, Beyond the Senses, was released in July 2019.
February 2016 saw the release of Illenium's highly acclaimed debut artist album Ashes, which instantly shot up to No. 1 on the iTunes Electronic Album Chart and No. 6 on the Billboard Top Dance/Electronic Albums Chart, while still available as a free download on Soundcloud. It has landed three songs on Spotify's Viral 50 Chart to date. A story of rebirth "about losing something and being down, and being able to find hope and light in tough places," Ashes comes in at 12 tracks and explores a variety of styles. His latest release, a remix of The Chainsmokers' hit single "Don't Let Me Down," has racked up over 10 million plays in its first month. Illenium has over 40 million Soundcloud plays, several million plays across Spotify including more than 13 million on Ashes, and millions across YouTube. He has also earned 5 Hype Machine No 1's to date. Illenium's stunning productions come to life through a live performance that incorporates a keyboard and drum pad framed by cutting?edge lighting and visuals, creating an immersive experience that has captivated audiences across the country. Currently embarking on his first national headlining tour, Illenium has sold out most venues with additional dates added in multiple cities. He is scheduled to appear at Lollapalooza, Electric Zoo, Mysteryland, Summer Set Music Festival, Paradiso, Rowdytown V and more in 2016.

Ireland has been reported to be 'the most educated country in the EU'. This contrasts with a report which identifies Irish youth as the most underemployed in Europe. What does this mean for Irish youth who have invested in higher education with the promise of a better, brighter future?
A recent Eurostat report found that Ireland has the highest number of third level graduates in Europe with 51% of Irish residents holding a third level degree. At a time of economic depression, with the looming threat of the reintroduction of third level fees, this came as a welcome signpost that Ireland was heading the right direction in terms of overreaching EU targets and investing in the vital areas needed for growth and sustainable development. As Ireland enjoyed the momentary satisfaction of being marked out as 'the most educated country in the EU' there was an underlying uneasiness and unwillingness to address the fact that Irish graduates are also the most underemployed in Europe.
First off, as an Irish student who has been in higher education for the last six years, I can safely say that despite the Free Fees initiative, higher education in Ireland is not the beacon of free education that many hold it up to be. Irish students enrolled in a degree programme pay an annual student contribution charge. When I began my study in 2006 this charge was €900. Since then I have seen it rise on a yearly basis. It now stands at €2, 500 and will rise to €3,000 by 2016. In fact, we pay one of the highest rates in Europe. In addition, Irish students will generally pay for their own postgraduate study with an Masters degree costing between €5,000 and €6,000. Nonetheless, despite the challenges of being a student during a period of bleak economic austerity, Irish youth continue to invest in higher education study. After all, a university qualification is the key to greater job opportunities, job stability and higher earning potential.
Irish youth, 'the most educated in Europe' have put this theory to the test and the results are disquieting. The reality facing a majority of Irish graduates does not revolve around notions of opportunity or stability. Young Irish graduates line up to collect their dole on a weekly basis. They are emigrating at a mass level that Irish history has not witnessed since the Great Famine in the 1840's. Those that are lucky to get work are in positions that they are over-qualified to work in and many more are working in jobs that do not even relate to their qualification. To add insult to injury, Irish employers have taken advantage of the precarious position that young Irish graduates find themselves in by hiring unpaid interns with little chance or opportunity of being offered a full-time, paid position.
Irish youth are facing the grim reality that higher education may not be the key to a better, brighter future. Irish graduates have the highest level of third level qualifications compared to our European counterparts. Despite this we have the least chance of being employed. Regrettably, even the leaders and members of the 'most educated country in the EU' are struggling to figure out and deal effectively with this this oxymoron. Therefore, can we argue that Irish graduates have debunked the myth that higher education is a worthwhile investment? It's an uncomfortable theory. Nonetheless, it's an important question that we can no longer afford to shy away from.

Putting large amounts of decomposing organic matter on the surface may deplete the top soil of nitrogen.
Even if you are a strict recycler, all these things will be dependant on oil; if only due to transporting them.
Also, I can't be doing with all the paths. I just look at them and think wasted growing space.
There is some thought that walking on the soil destroys its structure. I cannot for the life of me go along with this. In any case plants will grow through concrete - how compacted is that? Plants still grew even with dinosaurs compacting the ground.
Plants need water which they obtain from the soil through their roots. Roots also obtain dissolved nutrients from the soil and they need energy to do this. To obtain energy they need to respire using oxygen. This means that plants need both water and oxygen in the soil. The more fibrous the structure, the better the relationship between these soil constituents. Walking on soil will squash out some of the air. Walking across wet soil will squash out some of the air and fill the pours with water muddying the soil.
However, needs must and sometimes you just have to work the soil in wet weather. Going over the ground that you have walked on with a fork restores the structure and allows air to enter the ground. However, common sense says trying to work muddied ground when it is pouring down with rain is pointless.
I would suggest that the structure of the soil is much more dependant on its organic and mineral content than whether it is walked on. I read somewhere that if you get the calcium and magnesium content of the soil just right you can park you car on the soil and still have a friable soil. I would like to try this out before I recommend it though - and that will never happen.
So I will continue to use larger areas, wider spacing, less watering and sharp tools to cultivate the soil and produce good harvests.
Having said all this my beds, which are about 15 foot by 25 foot, are all raised above the original ground level. One of the old blokes on the allotment site said why didn't I use old paving slabs on end to keep the soil from falling on the paths and track ways. This was a good idea and I have, over the years, put paving slabs around most of the beds.
The ground was raised by the addition of lots of organic matter. It didn't really matter to me what the organic matter was, it still got buried. I have buried old cotton shirts, leather handbags and shoes; leather belts; woollen jumpers and socks; tree and shrub shreddings; shredded paper; weeds except for bind weed and mares tail; tree trunks and branches; lots of tree leaves, muck and manures. I used to bury woollen carpets too until I found they put nasty chemicals on them to prevent them being eaten by moths and fungi.
All these additions to the soil were buried at least two spits down and mostly further than this. When I dig down now I find nothing except a darker stained subsoil. The nutrients and carbon locked up in the structure of organic material is slowly returned to the soil to increase its fertility.
Apart from vastly improving the drainage of the allotment and enabling me to use the ground year round, the raised bed is like a hot bed. The decomposing organic matter generates a certain amount of heat and this can warm the soil enabling seeds to germinate earlier - or that is the theory anyway.
To make the raised hot bed, I don't pile organic matter on the top of the soil. I bury it deep in the soil. I do this because I do not want it to deplete the top soil nitrogen. Putting organic matter on the surface of the soil may deplete the soil of nitrogen when it decomposes. I know there are many benefits of mulching but it needs to be done with understanding and more care than is often suggested. Piling on mulches is not a magic solution to all your gardening problems. It is just one more strategy in the armoury of methods you can use on the allotment.
So my beds are raised but they are much bigger than any other raised beds that I have seen.
There is nothing wrong with raised small beds done well but I can't be doing with them. They are too small for my way of gardening.
And this time of year I just like to go out and dig for an hour or so. Allotments are not just for growing; they are for fresh air and exercise too.

According to the Gazette, Maryland state planners are optimistic that private sector funding might help pay for the Corridor Cities Transitway. The Transitway is a proposed line north of Shady Grove along the 270 corridor, through some areas planned for high density commercial and residential development. A train line here would encourage human scale, energy efficient, walkable urban growth—if Montgomery County actually builds the line before the development. That’s not always what’s happened in the past; Montgomery County has a history of approving development, calling it “transit-oriented,” and then forgetting about the transit.
In the 1980s and 1990s, county officials approved development at the intersection of Briggs-Chaney Road and US-29, and also most of Olney, based on the hint of potentially, maybe, sort of, possibly, hopefully, you know, one day running a BRT line up Georgia Ave and US-29. They never did, and the “transit-oriented” development has no transit, nor is it so oriented. History could repeat itself with the Corridor Cities Transitway.
However, there are reasons to be optimistic this time around. When the county approved the Briggs-Chaney and Olney developments, Transit-Oriented Development was a new buzzword that was novel to the planners of the time. Both of those previous failures were doomed from the start, as both developments have car-dependent forms. Even if good transit someday connected to those places, they would still need a North Arlington style suburban-to-urban retrofit in order to function as true transit-oriented walkable urban places.
However, the Corridor Cities Transitway area map (PDF) shows promise. There are notable major employers such as the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST), the Johns Hopkins University Gaithersburg satellite campus, and the U.S. Department of Energy, shopping destinations such as the Rio (a faux “town center”-format mall at the intersection of I-370 and I-270), and existing population centers and local retail centers like Germantown and the Kentlands section of Gaithersburg. While “downtown” Germantown would need a little retrofitting with a walkable grid, Kentlands is a New Urbanist development that is transit-ready.
Frustratingly, some officials are already pushing for Bus Rapid Transit over light rail for the Corridor Cities Transitway. I’ve written previously about BRT’s shortcomings. The arguments for light rail on the Corridor Cities Transitway are similar to those on the Purple Line, and similar reasons: capacity, travel times, long term costs, and ability to induce TOD.
This project is a very different project than the Purple Line. The Purple Line will connect existing major job and population centers in the inner suburbs. It will also greatly increase regional mobility by filling in some gaping holes in our Metro system. In this respect, it is similar to the Silver Line through Tysons Corner, while the Corridor Cities Transitway is more akin to the Silver Line west of Tysons Corner: connect some sparse dots in Favored Quarter suburbia and focus future growth on transit-oriented walkable urban hubs.
Regardless of whether one likes or dislikes the form of car-dependent suburbia, it exists, and many millions of Americans currently live there. Our battle for energy independence and against climate change will partially hinge on whether we can retrofit our middle suburbs in a more transit-oriented manner. For this to happen, we have to build more transit. The Corridor Cities Transitway, built with light rail, will be a good step in the right direction.

The story concerns a town in Maine where a space craft is unearthed. It emits a dangerous gas that begins to transform all the town’s residents except for one man who is immune to the effects of the gas thanks to a steel plate in his head.
The Tommyknockers was previously adapted by ABC as a 1993 miniseries starring Jimmy Smits and Marg Helgenberger. It was executive produced by current rights holder Larry Sanitsky, who will produce the feature adaptation with Wan, Lee and their respective production companies Atomic Monster and Vertigo.
The package is currently out to studios, including Netflix, and we’ll see if a deal comes together before the holiday weekend. Interestingly enough, NBC announced it would try its own hand at an adaptation in 2013, but that small screen project now appears to be dead.
Stephen King adaptations have been all the rage of late between It, The Dark Tower, Mr. Mercedes and Hulu’s upcoming Castle Rock. The Tommyknockers even outsold It (and The Shining and Carrie) in its initial hardcover release. THR broke the news.

Allendale, Mich. - Not even the top two scorers in the GLIAC could find a way to solve the Grand Valley State women's soccer team's dominant defense. The No. 1 Lakers extended their shutout streak to 12 matches with a 7-0 victory over Findlay on Friday (Oct. 18) night.
The run of scoreless matches is now tied for the third-longest in NCAA Division II history. Abbey Miller continued an impressive streak of her own as well. The senior goalkeeper has now played 1127:57 consecutive minutes without surrendering a goal, which is a GVSU record. It is also the third-longest streak in the Division II record book.
After Findlay managed to pressure the GVSU defense in the opening minutes, the Oilers never had a legitimate scoring opportunity for the remainder of the match.
Once the backline stifled Findlay's forwards, the Lakers began to catch fire at the offensive end of the pitch.
In the 10th minute, freshman forward Kendra Stauffer broke the scoreless tie with a shot from the top of the box to beat the Oilers' keeper. Junior forward Jenny Shaba notched an assist on the play and followed it up with a goal of her own just 25 seconds later.
The quick-strike scoring was put on display late in the 37th minute, too. Redshirt freshman forward Olivia Emery drew the keeper out of the goal, which left Katie Bounds with an open net. Emery dished to Bounds for the easy finish. At the 38:33 mark, Shelby Humphries scored her fourth goal of the year to put GVSU up 4-0.
Humphries added another goal with just five seconds remaining in the half as she headed a corner kick past the Findlay keeper.
Freshman midfielder Marti Corby tacked on another goal in the 80th minute to cap the evening.
Once again, GVSU held a significant advantage in shots. The Lakers outshot Findlay 28-5 and only yielded one shot in the second stanza.
The victory also extended GVSU's streak of home matches without a loss to 57, which ties the second-longest run in Division II history.
The Lakers (11-0-1, 8-0-0 GLIAC) will attempt to keep all of the aforementioned streaks alive on Sunday (Oct. 20) when they welcome Tiffin to the GVSU Soccer Field. The match is scheduled to commence at 1:00 p.m.

Chamber Receptionist and Events Coordinator Kadence Gleason, says this event is an opportunity for the public to learn about all of the unique local businesses in the Sturgis area.
She says you can view sample merchandise, learn about their missions and visions and get to know our local business owners.
Gleason says this is a showcase event, meant to inform the public about products, missions, and the like, so they were asking businesses to refrain from making sales. Accepting donations, however, is allowed.
The chamber was expecting upwards of 40 businesses to participate in today’s showcase.

A Serial Dater Ranks the Best Hookup Apps
Apple approves 'only gay social app for ages 12 and up' - CNET
Dating is hard. That's just a fact. Dating while queer is often even harder. When you're a guy who's attracted to people of the same gender, there are simply fewer instances in which you can serendipitously meet somebody and experience that romantic spark.
The best dating apps for gay users, since meeting people IRL is hellish
A new app for gay men seeking connections with other gay men hit the market this summer -- but it's no Grindr or Adam4Adam. Mench'd , created by Justin Maxx, seeks to redefine the way gay men use online "dating" apps in order to make connections by setting a precedent for users: This app is exclusively for men seeking long-term romantic relationships. Maybe not so much. Many gay men have vocalized shared frustrations over interactions and connections established through Grindr or other location-based gay "dating" apps.

Director of Hayward Gallery
This onetime LA Weekly art critic and director of San Francisco’s CCA Wattis is now into his fifth year at London’s Hayward Gallery, and has done much to revive the gallery as one of London’s most popular venues for contemporary art. Enormous installation based group shows are now its stock-in-trade, overseen by Rugoff and chief curator Stephanie Rosenthal.
The sprawling tableaux and ‘artists do the craziest things’ exhibitions are starting to wear a little thin, however. The gallery has been refurbished recently, and now Project Space curator Tom Morton has his own spruced-up space upstairs, too. Along with the rest of England’s public spaces, however, the Hayward hangs on the tenterhooks of the government’s financial decisions, and it’s too early to say whether the public’s recent affection for the shows there will be a supportive long-term love affair that can sustain the gallery through meagre times.

The S910 is the only DISTO with Point to Point (P2P) capability built into the device itself. For close range interior measurements, just flip out the Smart Base, pick a measuring position and use the P2P function to take accurate measurements around a room from a single location. Measurements can be compiled in a DXF document for use in CAD.
This makes the S910 a favorite among installers who need accurate measurements (which can be fed to a CNC machine) to cut expensive materials like countertops or commercial glass.
For long range P2P measurements, use an FTA-S tripod adapter. The FTA-S unlocks the full potential of the S910 1000ft range and 4x zoom pointfinder camera. The S910 and the FTA-S are available together in the S910 P2P package, which are ideal tools for anyone who needs to get inaccessible measurements on outdoor job sites. The S910 P2P package is used by solar installers and by architects and engineers working on commercial projects.

Childhood Adversity and Cardiometabolic Outcomes
- Suglia SF, Koenen KC, Boynton-Jarrett R, et al.
- Childhood and Adolescent Adversity and Cardiometabolic Outcomes: A Scientific Statement From the American Heart Association. Circulation 2017;Dec 18:[Epub ahead of print].
The following are key points to remember from this American Heart Association scientific statement regarding childhood and adolescent adversity and cardiometabolic health outcomes:
- Childhood and adolescent adversity (hereby known as “childhood adversity”) includes broad categories of physical or emotional neglect or abuse, sexual abuse, household dysfunction, or more specific forms of adversity such as community violence, homelessness, peer bullying, poverty, discrimination, or death of family or friends.
- Cardiometabolic outcomes refer to obesity, hypertension, type 2 diabetes mellitus, and cardiovascular disease: the leading causes of US morbidity and mortality.
- In multiple literature reviews, childhood adversity has been associated with an increased risk of cardiometabolic disease. Childhood adversity may be affected by factors such as sex, socioeconomic status, race, ethnicity, and immigration status.
- Several studies suggest a dose-response relationship: more intense or severe adversity results in more serious adverse cardiometabolic outcomes. Some studies suggest a threshold effect, and one study identified a sensitive developmental period for the success of a therapeutic intervention.
- Mechanisms hypothesized to explain the relationship between childhood adversity and cardiometabolic disease include behavioral, mental health, and biological factors. These three factors can interact; for example, poor mental health may affect appetite and sleep.
- Behavioral factors include exercise or inactivity, diet, overeating, sleeping, and smoking.
- Mental health factors include substance use, development of post-traumatic stress disorder or mood and anxiety disorders that are associated with cardiometabolic disease, more persistent and treatment-refractory mental illness, the association of major depressive disorder and bipolar illness with accelerated atherosclerosis, and weight gain associated with some antipsychotic and mood-stabilizing drugs.
- Biological factors include stress-induced disruption of neuroendocrine, immune, metabolic, and autonomic responses. Activation of the hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal axis results in altered glucocorticoid metabolism and immune function. Childhood adversity is associated with increased biomarkers of inflammation and may be associated with epigenetic changes. Stress affects hormones regulating appetite and energy balance.
- Limitations of the existing literature include lack of agreement on definitions of childhood adversity, few truly prospective studies, and limited identification of causative mechanisms. Most research has been cross-sectional and retrospective, and limited research is available regarding timing of childhood adversity, peer bullying, environmental conditions, or mediation models.
- Future research should utilize longitudinal prospective studies and modern epidemiological methods. Research should focus on evaluating modifiable resilience factors, vulnerability factors, and causation mechanisms; developing effective interventions; and identifying methods to screen individuals and populations for such interventions.

When someone passes away in Florida, our probate laws work to protect that person’s property on behalf of their heirs, beneficiaries, and creditors. An “estate” is created and overseen by an administrator approved by a Probate Judge.
This administrator, or the “Personal Representative” (which most people recognize as an ‘executor’), has the job of making sure that every single asset is collected, protected, and inventoried. It doesn’t matter how big or how small: the decedent’s assets must all be located and protected for their distribution to the beneficiaries who are in line to inherit – or to creditors who are in line to be paid.
Some of these assets are easy to locate and transfer to the heirs. The cars, the furniture, the TVs, the real estate: these are easy to locate and list on the inventory.
However, for many probate estates, things can be tricky — they may have accounts receivable or debts owed to them. These are assets, too. And it’s the job of the Personal Representative to determine everything that is owed to the estate and make sure those debts are collected by the estate.
1. Variety of Debts Are Owed To A Decedent
Any debt owed to the decedent is an asset of his or her estate. If there is a handwritten I.O.U., then it’s an asset of the estate no matter how informal it might be. Written on a napkin, jotted down on a piece of notebook paper — if the Personal Representative determines it’s a valid debt, it’s included in the estate.
Other kinds of debts that may be owned by the estate include notes and accounts receivable. If the decedent ran an Etsy store, for instance, or worked for themselves refurbishing furniture or repairing cars, then they would have accounts receivable that the Personal Representative is required to inventory and collect. If there is a note for a car that the decedent sold to his nephew, then that counts as a debt to be collected by the Personal Representative, too.
2. Calculating The Exact Amount Owed to the Estate
The first step for the Personal Representative related to these debts is to determine the amount owed to the decedent at the time of the death (meaning, are there any outstanding payments due?). After reviewing the debt instrument, the Personal Representative calculates the amount due and owing and determines if there is a single amount due, or if there are periodic payments to be paid. If there is a payment schedule attached to the debt instrument, then the Personal Representative needs to keep track of that information.
Additionally, if there are any past due amounts, those have to be calculated along with any late charges that might apply. Some people may assume that if the person has passed away, then their debt has been canceled and they may stop making payments on their debt. However, a legally binding debt is not automatically “paid in full” when the debtor dies in most instances (meaning the debt survives the death of the note holder) which means the money still needs to be paid.
3. Notification to the Debtors
After the Personal Representative determines all of the outstanding debts owed to the decedent, then he or she must notify each of these debtors that the estate will be the new party responsible for collecting the payments. The name and current mailing address of each debtor will be collected and a formal written notice will be sent to each debtor informing them of the name of the new creditor to whom they should be making their payment.
Included with this notice should be confirmation of the decedent’s passing, and the date of death, as well as the formal demand by the estate that the debt be paid. The name and address of the Personal Representative should be included, as well as the Personal Representative’s itemization of the debt (amount owed, dates of payment, etc.).
4. Past Due Amounts at Time of Death
If there were debtors who were already behind in paying their debts to the decedent at the time of death, then the Personal Representative may have a duty to commence collection efforts. As a fiduciary to the beneficiaries as well as the estate’s creditors, the Personal Representative has the obligation to collect all monies due and owing the estate.
5. Accounting Principles Must Be Used for Debts Owed to the Estate
When the Personal Representative has completed all of his or her tasks in administering the estate, except for distributing the assets, then it’s time for the Final Accounting to be filed with the Probate Court. In the Final Accounting, the Personal Representative will list all the debts owed to the estate and how the payments made on those debts were tallied. The allocation of receivables may be either “principal” or “income.”
There are certain accounting principles that the Personal Representative must follow here. The failure of the Personal Representative to adhere to these accounting principles may be argued as a breach of her fiduciary duty; therefore, a prudent Personal Representative will work with an accountant or CPA (certified public accountant) to make sure that all their I’s are dotted and the T’s are crossed.
These allocation principles include:
1. If they were due, but not received or paid, before the death of the decedent they are to be considered as principal of the estate. Florida Statute 738.302(l).
2. If they didn’t have a due date, then they accrue from day to day before and after death. The amount accruing before the date of death is principal; after the date of death is income. Florida Statute 738.302(2).
3. If they were due after the date of death and they were paid, they are not prorated and are determined under normal principal and income accounting rules.
4. Any payments made on income-producing assets of the estate are considered income.
5. Net profit of any business that the decedent operated (sole proprietor or partnership) is considered income to the estate.
6. Corporate dividends payable before the date of death are principal; those payable after the date of death are income.
Obviously, the task of overseeing, collecting, and properly distributing the debts owed to the decedent at the time of death can be complicated for the Personal Representative. Moreover, how those debts are valued and accounted for in the estate may make a difference in the amount of inheritance received by a beneficiary; the answer a lot of times depends upon the language of the Last Will and Testament, the Trust Agreement or other governing documents, as well as the applicable probate laws.
Questions Regarding Debts Owed to Florida Estate
There can be many questions regarding what is owed and how it is collected and accounted for after someone passes away in Florida. A debtor should not assume that they get a windfall just because the person to whom they owe money has died. Who receives the payment stream and where the payments are to be sent can be confusing.
Debtors may need help in determining their legal rights in these situations, including confirming how much they owe, or don’t owe, and who they should pay when dealing with a creditor who has died.
Beneficiaries may also have concerns over debts owed to the estate, particularly if the decedent is holding a mortgage on an income-producing property (are taxes and insurance being paid) or held a Note related to an income-producing business. They may have concerns and questions, such as:
- If there was a corporation, partnership or other legal entity, then what happens?
- Is the Personal Representative doing what should be done regarding the debt?
- Who inherits the debt?
- Who shares in the income stream from that debt?
An experienced Florida probate lawyer can be very helpful in resolving disputes between beneficiaries, heirs, debtors, and the Personal Representative regarding money owed to the estate. Many may be surprised at how reasonable it may cost to get that attorney’s help — some of these questions may be answered in a single telephone conference. Others, however, may need more legal steps; some may require intervention in the form of a hearing before the probate judge.
A good piece of advice is to at least talk with a Florida probate lawyer to learn about your rights. Most probate lawyers, like Larry Tolchinsky, offer a free initial consultation (either over phone or in person, whichever you prefer) to answer your questions.

Arty, the honorary knight, Fumbelweed the imbalanced wizard, and Percy the talking horse walked into a bar.
‘Ow,’ they said simultaneously. ‘What is that?’ Percy looked down at his injured forward shins. An iron bar lay in their path, partially covered in Sand. ‘Ah,’ said the horse (Fumbleweed had made no comment about the talking horse. Arty was reluctant to ask him about this as he wanted to avoid conversation with a man he considered a door in a third-story abandoned building- highly unhinged). ‘This must be the start of the pantomime desert.’ The vast sandy landscape before them was a dead giveaway.
‘Great!’ Arty said, his shins were in better condition due to his ill-fitting armour, ‘now where is that bloody bird?’
‘Err, excuse me,’ came a voice just beyond a collection of smaller plants that Arty had never seen before. ‘That’s not what I would call politically correct.’ There was a clomp, clomp, as a camel emerged with reigns and saddle attached. Arty tried to look beyond the animal for the owner, but none materialised. ‘You see,’ the camel spoke, and all three companions jumped slightly, ‘we don’t refer to women as ‘birds’ anymore; it’s a rather outdated term.’
‘Well,’ Arty began to gather his thoughts after a few moments of stunned silence. ‘We are actually chasing a bird. It stole my sack of jewels.’
‘Look, I don’t need to know the sordid details. But I am going to compliment you on using a neutral pronoun; however, admonish you for using it to objectify the young lady.’
‘I’ve never met a politically correct camel before,’ Percy muttered.
‘Well, a talking horse,’ the Camel replied, ‘what a sight indeed! But I currently identify as a Dromedary.’
‘What’s your name?’ Arty asked, stalling for time and trying not to stare at the animal’s humps.
‘Derrick.’ The Camel stood taller, perhaps with pride.
‘Ok, Derrick. We really are chasing a bird. As in, wings, flying, took some valuable things, need to get them back. The whole deal.’
‘Ah,’ Derrick lowered its head, ‘my mistake. You’re probably after Rojer. He flew through here not long ago.’
‘Was he carrying a sack of some kind?’
‘He was, nothing unusual there. He’s often taking something that isn’t his,’ Derrick said indignantly.
‘Enough of this, you fluid humped creature,’ Fumbleweed interjected, his cloak flapping as his arms gesticulated beneath. ‘Do you know where this avian kleptomaniac resides?’
‘You are a rude man, err, person,’ Derrick replied.
‘Derrick,’ Arty held out his hands in the least aggressive way he could manage. ‘Could you please help us retrieve our things? I’m not exaggerating when I say that my life depends on it.’
‘Certainly. I am always happy to respond to a pleasant and respectful request that’s not ingrained in ignorance,’ Derrick seemed to frown at the wizard. ‘Unfortunately, you may not like what I tell you. You see, Rojer is, what you might call, a bit of a prick. He is unlikely to have kept the things he took and is likely to have scattered them all about.’ The three of them groaned.
‘If that’s the case,’ Percy muttered, ‘they would get picked up; those gems are valuable. They don’t stay out in the open. Their power is to draw beings toward them. Even unthinking animals can’t help but pick them up.’
‘Great,’ Arty bowed his head. ‘Can you at least point us to where we might start looking?’
‘Certainly. There is a city, Rearwards, not far from here. It is rather odd. However, if what you had was valuable, it almost certainly would have wound up there.’
The group moved on, feeling somewhat deflated.
‘This task is getting worse by the minute,’ Percy grumbled. ‘I’ve heard of this place. It’s all screwed up. Be ready for anything.’

IBM’s OpenPOWER Foundation, set up to build the POWER architecture ecosystem, has made a milestone announcement: it is to make the POWER instruction set architecture, along with key hardware designs and supporting technologies, available under an open source licence.
Announced along with the news that the OpenPOWER Foundation is to join the Linux Foundation, the release of the POWER instruction set architecture under an open licensing model marks a major boon for the free and open source silicon (FOSSi) ecosystem – while putting it in direct competition with relatively young upstart RISC-V.
“By moving the POWER ISA under an open model – guided by the OpenPOWER Foundation within the Linux Foundation – and making it available to the growing open technical commons, we’ll enable innovation in the open hardware and software space to grow at an accelerated pace,” explains OpenPOWER Foundation executive director Hugh Blemings. “The possibilities for what organisations and individuals will be able to develop on POWER through its mature ISA and software ecosystem will be nearly limitless.”
“We’ve heard in the past that developing a full featured core like POWER can be complicated – but that’s not necessarily the case. In fact, we believe the open source community can leverage the contributions made by IBM rather quickly. In addition to open sourcing the POWER ISA, IBM is also contributing a newly developed softcore to the community. In a very short time, an IBM engineer was able to develop a softcore on the POWER ISA, and get it up and running on a Xilinx FPGA. This softcore implementation is being demonstrated this week at OpenPOWER Summit North America.”
“As the chairman of the OpenPOWER Foundation Board of Directors, it’s an honour to share in such a tremendous moment with our community,” adds Artem Ikoev. “The opening of the POWER ISA and alignment of the OpenPOWER Foundation with the Linux Foundation is a reflection of our mature, sustainable and growing ecosystem. These changes will result in more consortia-driven initiatives and allow more diverse, innovative products and solutions to be brought to market.”
As well as the ISA itself, IBM has contributed reference designs for OpenCAPI and the Open Memory Interface (OMI). More information is available from the official announcement.


Blogger Alexander Russo says the 2010 documentary "brought enormous, but short-lived, popular attention to the challenges facing public education."
The scrappy education newspaper and Web site covers a school system that is never short on budget shortfalls and other controversies.
The newspaper details how the Microsoft billionaire got involved with the national education standards movement and what he thinks about the growing opposition to it.
The conservative think tank says the site will be a legitimate news operation. One of its inaugural topics for sustained coverage is the Common Core State Standards.
The show is an easygoing look at one-room schools, which once numbered some 200,000 in America.
The public radio network's new site aims to focus on topics such as the Common Core State Standards, technology in the classroom, and changes in higher education.
The new documentary looks at the recognition and rise of an influential age group, not just in the United States but in Britain and Germany.
Longer stories and a deep investment of time are still good tactics for telling the complex story of education.
Education publications are reaching out with live chats, community events, photo contests, and other tactics to engage their readers.
At the Education Writers Association conference, two reporters describe how Twitter has become invaluable for covering the schools.


Vietnam: Christ calls, Asians Respond
As a young Buddhist, Tran Thi Ha Ngan often wondered what motivated her Catholic friends to help people who were abandoned due to physical disabilities, leprosy or HIV/AIDS, regardless of their religion.
“I would often visit Catholic websites to look for what inspires them to take care of patients whom other people close their eyes to,” recalls 31-year-old Ngan, who was born into a religious Buddhist family in Hue, the ancient capital in central Vietnam.
As she read more about Christianity, Jesus Christ’s command to “love your neighbor as yourself” and Francis of Assisi’s prayer “For it is in giving that we receive” left a deep impression on her.
This was sometime in 2009 when she was working on a climate change project along with some Catholic volunteers who later became her close friends.
Back then Ngan wouldn’t have ever thought of embracing a religion that is considered Western.
“I enjoyed a close working relationship with my Catholic friends, who gave me books on human values and life, and Christmas cards. I also attended their birthday parties and Christmas dinners,” she said.
Ngan would also join them in offering food to poor patients at local hospitals and taking care of HIV/AIDS patients at their homes.
“One time, I was deeply moved by the desperate plight of a Buddhist woman who was all skin and bone, confined to her bed and surrounded by an awful smell. The Catholic volunteers washed her hair, body and clothes, cleaned her house, and talked with her as if she were a family member,” she recalled.

In recent years, the removal of wisdom teeth has become a rite of passage of sorts for young adults. It’s an experience that many, if not most of us share, and it’s a practice that literally spans generations. According to a 2007 study published in the American Journal of Public Health, around 5 million people undergo oral surgery to remove their wisdom teeth EVERY YEAR—that’s at least 10 million teeth extracted!
But, My Wisdom Teeth Don’t Hurt…
Just because your wisdom teeth aren’t actively causing you pain, doesn’t mean that there’s nothing wrong. Wisdom teeth generally start making their appearance between the ages of 17-25. Often, these teeth can get stuck—or impacted—on their way out. That means that for whatever reason, your wisdom teeth aren’t able to break through your jaw and into your mouth with the rest of your molars.
For some patients, this happens because their mouth is too small to make room for your wisdom teeth. For others, the teeth could also be growing at an angle that can damage the surrounding molars. Waiting for pain to appear before addressing these potential issues could result in problems after surgery including heavy bleeding, fractured teeth and in some extreme cases, loss of feeling or movement in your jaw.
Show Me the X-Ray
X-rays are an excellent tool that allowS your dental care professional to examine the growth of your wisdom teeth as they help dentists identify potential issues with keeping your wisdom teeth.
Other reasons your dentist might recommend wisdom teeth removal
- Damage to other teeth: the extra set of molars can push against your other teeth, causing mouth pain and bite issues
- Jaw Damage: Cysts can form around the new teeth before they’ve broken through your jaw. If left untreated, these cysts can hollow out your jaw and even cause nerve damage.
- Sinus Issues: Problems with wisdom have also been linked to sinus pain, pressure, and congestion.
- Inflamed Gums: Tissue around the area where your wisdom teeth are coming out can become inflamed, swollen, and difficult to clean.
- Cavities: Swollen gums create pockets between teeth that help bacteria grow and cavities to form.
- Alignment: Impacted wisdom teeth can cause your other teeth to shift and result in the need to straighten your other teeth.

Students Flocking to Polls for 21-only Vote in Iowa City
By Greg Hennigan and Jami Brinton, Reporters
IOWA CITY, Iowa – Students are being pulled to the voting booth to voice their opinion on Iowa City's controversial 21-only ordinance.
"I came to work out," said Teresa Albright, 18, a freshman at the University of Iowa. "Then they had early voting. I knew what I wanted to vote for. "
Albright, like 19-year-old Hilary Heugh from Elgin, Illinois wants to repeal Iowa City's minimum bar entry age.
"I'm here for the 19 ordinance to change the bars back to 19," Heugh said.
A long line of students waited to vote at a satellite location set up at the University of Iowa's new recreation and wellness center Wednesday afternoon.
As reported in Wednesday's Gazette (you also can read the story here), students are expected to be a force to be reckoned with in the 21-only vote.
Early voting statistics are backing that up.
On Tuesday, 1,319 people voted at Burge Hall, a dormitory on the University of Iowa campus. That's the most votes ever at a satellite voting location in Johnson County, breaking the old record of 945, also at Burge, in the 2007 election, according to the Auditor's Office.
Incidentally, the 21-only issue was on the ballot in 2007. It was defeated 58 percent to 42 percent with the help of strong student turnout.
"I think it's clear that students are driving the early, in-person voting here in Johnson County," said county Auditor Tom Slockett.
Any Iowa City voter could have cast a ballot at Burge on Tuesday, so it's not as if every vote came from a student. But Slockett said Wednesday the majority of all those who have voted so far in this year's election have been of the student-age population. (There were 340 voters at the UI's Phillips Hall on Monday.)
Early voting will continue up until Election Day, Nov. 2. Most of the satellite sites are on or near the UI campus due to a record number of student-driven petitions to place satellite voting locations on campus.
"Since the students are turning out at the sites we've had so far, we don't have any reason to believe that they won't continue to turn-out at other university locations," Slockett said.
Pro-21 only supporters say they aren't surprised by this record young voter turn-out so far this election; in fact, they say they expected it. They believe the satellite locations scheduled for late October will attract a more diverse voting population that will swing statistics in their favor.
Under the 21-only ordinance, which went into effect June 1, people younger than 21 are not allowed in non-exempt establishments with liquor licenses after 10 p.m. The minimum age previously was 19.

Skip to comments.The Nobel Peace Prize may recognize Arab Spring
Posted on 09/28/2011 9:21:35 AM PDT by SeekAndFind
OSLO - The 2011 Nobel Peace Prize may recognize activists who helped unleash the revolutionary wave that swept through North Africa and the Middle East during the Arab Spring.
Wael Ghonim, an Egyptian Internet activist and Google executive, Egypt's April 6 Youth Movement, one of its founders Israa Abdel Fattah, and Tunisian blogger Lina Ben Mhenni could therefore be among those in line for the award when it is announced on Oct. 7.
"My strong sense is that this (Nobel) committee and its leader want to reflect the biggest international issues as defined by a wide definition of peace," said Jan Egeland, a former Norwegian deputy foreign minister.
"Following that logic, it will be the Arab Spring this year. Nothing comes close to that one as a defining moment of our time," he told Reuters.
A record 241 candidates, of which 53 are organizations, have been nominated for this year's award, worth 10 million crowns ($1.5 million). The five-strong prize committee will meet for the last time on Sept. 30.
Demonstrations and protests in 2011 involving hundreds of thousands of people have challenged the grip on power of autocratic rulers across the Arab world.
Zine al-Abidine Ben Ali in Tunisia, Hosni Mubarak in Egypt and Muammar Gaddafi in Libya have been removed from power while opposition movements in Syria and Yemen, among several other countries, are attempting to bring about political change.
Egeland's view was shared by Kristian Berg Harpviken, head of the Peace Research Institute Oslo. "The Arab Spring will be very high on the agenda of the committee's internal deliberations," he told Reuters.
(Excerpt) Read more at jpost.com ...
Among the known nominees this year are:
* WikiLeaks and its leader Julian Assange,
* Israeli conductor Daniel Barenboim,
* Afghan human rights advocate Sima Samar,
* the European Union,
* Former German Chancellor Helmut Kohl.
MORE NOMINEES UNDER CONSIDERATION:
* Cuban dissident Oswaldo Paya Sardinas,
* Russian rights group Memorial and its founder Svetlana Gannushkina,
* Bradley Manning, who allegedly leaked secret U.S. cables to WikiLeaks,
* Congolese doctor Denis Mukwege.
I HAVE TO SAY WTF to Bradley Manning, but given that we have had — Yaser Arafat, Kofi Anand, Jimmy Carter, Al Gore and Barack Obama, I’m not surprised anymore
My gawd, man, the prize is a joke.
Add all three IQs and you’d still fail to get to triple digits.
That thing is as worthless as a White House press release and therefore will be a perfect fit for a Muslim “democracy” movement.
So much for any hint of credability.
Winning a Nobel Prize is almost as honorary as being a finalist in the Publisher’s Clearing house Sweepstakes. Obama won just for being elected, on the hopes of what he would do.
Many fools do not know when they have humilated themselves; the Nobel Prize committee is apparently compromised of fools on a global scale.
They should give it to Obama again.
Better hurry up and give it to them before World War III starts.
It matters not. The Nobel ANYTHING prize is based on politics period. After the Omoron rec’d his the award is worth exactly NOTHING.
They give the "Dunce prize" to those who are the most destructive. It's the opposite of what it used to mean.
Today, if you're given this "prize", you're one of the worlds biggest failures.
This just in: The Nobel prize will be awarded to a steaming pile of dung!
Ohhhh!!! That would be classic. The drive by’s would be peeing themselves in ecstacy celebrating their first ever twofer, and no one else will care.
Seriously. His great triumph in Libya should win it for him, easy.
(“Arab Spring...manly, yes, but I like it too.”)
The Nobel Peace Prize is comic relief, a toast to fools.
RE: Will those who sexually assaulted Lara Logan, or rebels who murdered women raped by Libyan troops get awards too? How about those freedom fighters who crossed from Sinai into Israel to murder IDF troops?
Let’s not forget those who attacked Israel’s embassy in Cairo. Given how most of the world hates Israel, that would surely count for a prize..
As with Obummer’s Peace Prize, it’s way to early to make the call that the Arab Spring is a good turn for humankind. The overthrow of some dictators alone is not enough to call it a good development — how it ends is still unknown and may well be so nasty that we will miss those dictators as their replacements could be worse devils.
As to the prize lists, the prize committee must be dominated by Marxist socialists of the Stalin variety as the choices are not those that a humanist would applaud. It isn’t worth a trip to sunny and happy Oslo to pick up the prize.
If the Arab Spring wins, I think the blonde reporter who was so peacefully roughed up by the Egyptian mob should cover the story, with personal reflections on the merits of the award included.
Brings to mind the joke from an earlier time:
Two guys talking when one says “Did you hear that George hass been nominated for a Nobel Prize?”
To which the other replies “I didn’t even know he WAS a communist.”
Sounds like the Nobel folks have opened things up to include tyrants of all stripes.
Now war really is peace.
Orwell would be proud of the Nobel folks.
