False Creek Granville Island engagement pictures fun.
Feeling each other and do not mind that I am around with my camera? That is the best you can do for your engagement and wedding pictures. Living a moment is the key. Ricardo and Hiyasmin came to have a great time and they did. It is in their blood stream, it pulses such a great way that in one minute you have the romance, the other beauty and then it all runs as wild leopard through jungle. These two are something and trust me they will have a freaking awesome wedding pictures. They felt no fear at e-shoot which is not easy for some couples to be in front of a camera. Absolute sweethearts to each other and very genuine couple to be around. I simply loved everything about this late evening portrait shoot. We had fun running across False creek in Aquabuses, we walked through famous Granville island and finished with sunset at First beach. Guys waked on the rocks bare feet, laughed so much we were for sure point of interest for many and simply were in love. What else can one get as wedding photographer? I am so looking to photograph them at their Hart House wedding this year. This is going to be an epic story! If you love dramatic portrait pictures filled with raw emotions and fun, send me a message in the bottle, or email will do just fine :) My name is Jozef and I am a photographer.

HAUSSTAN – (February 12, 2019) – Laser-induced Crap (LIG), an imperfect carbon atom-based foam, has many interesting properties, but gets new forces as part of the composite.
Rice James Tur's chemistry laboratories and Christopher Arnous, Professor at Benguion University in Negjev, Israel, have introduced a batch of LIG composites in the American Chemical Society magazine. ACS Nano which put the capabilities of the material into more stable packages.
By infusing LIG with plastic, rubber, cement, wax or other materials, laboratories produce composites with a wide range of possible applications. These new composite materials could be used in carrier electronics, thermal therapy, water treatment, anticorrosion and anti-icing work, anti-microbial surfaces, and even the creation of random access resistive devices.
The Tour Lab made the first LIG in 2014 when it used a commercial laser to burn the surface of a thin sheet of plain plastic polyimide. The heat of the laser transformed the piece of material into scales from an interconnected graphene. The one-step process has done much more material, and at a much lower cost than traditional chemical deposition.
Since then, Rice's lab and others have expanded the LIG's investigation, even by releasing the plastic to make it with wood and food. Last year, Rice researchers created graffiti foam to sculpt 3D objects.
"LIG is a great piece of material, but it's not mechanically stable," said Tour, who co-authored a review of the laser-induced graphon in the Accounts of Chemical Research magazine last year. "You can bend it and bend it, but you can not rub your hand through it. He will stumble. If you do what is called a scotch tape test, a lot of it is removed. composite structure, it really stiffens.
To make the composites, the researchers poured or hot-pressed a thin layer of the second material onto a LIG attached to the polyimide. When the liquid hardened, they pulled the polyimide from the back for reuse, leaving the built-in, graphene flakes attached at the back.
Soft composites can be used for active electronics in flexible clothing, Tour says, while tougher composites make excellent superhydrophobic (water-evasive) materials. When tension is applied, the 20 micron layer of LIG kills surface bacteria by making hardened versions of the material suitable for antibacterial applications.
Composites made with liquid additives are best at maintaining the LIG flakes. In the lab they heat up quickly and reliably when stress is applied. This should allow the material to be used as a coating for de-icing or thawing, such as a flexible heating pad for injury treatment or clothing that is heated upon request.
"You just pound it and now you're transferring all the beautiful aspects of the LIG into a material that's very healthy," Tours said.

This is a fairly recent photo. It's a studio photo of Katia Carranza and Renato Penteado of the Miami City Ballet in Balanchine's Symphony in C second movement. Simply breathtaking!!
It's a very dramatic photo, but I just can't help noticing that the 180 degree line only runs from the top of the toe of the working leg to the knee of the supporting leg. That last segment skews forward on a slant and the knee is caved in.
So instead of a 6 o'clock image you have something more like a 5 o'clock image with the hour hand bent part way from the center.
This kind of distortion takes away from the other, much more lovely aspects of the photo

I have so many copies of great photos that I can't ever really choose a "favorite". And that would disrespect many photographers doing excellent work. Here is one I ran into recently that is a great pose, though as the notes say, this was caught mid-rehearsal. Farrell and Martins in their prime:

A recent photo of the Paris Opera Ballet corps all lined up as wilis from Giselle... I believe it was a promotional for the recent US tour.
And really...any photo of Tanaquil Leclerq. Her face and form is so photogenic... I can't think of another dancer that is as uniformly stunning in photos. I know this isn't quite what the thread is asking for but I really couldn't pick...

I ran across this unreleased photo by the great Robert Doisneau - from the looks of the round window it was taken in a POB practice room. One of my new favorites.

Wow -- the image is so dense, until you look at the bottom and it's just her foot!

Recent news cycles have turned to the durability of remote work and life: as of June 2020, one in five remote workers in Canada expect that they’ll be working from home indefinitely. Telework, however, is an opportunity afforded by broadband access, and the CRTC suggests that less than half of rural and remote households have access to high-speed internet. In June 2020, First Nations Technology Council (“Technology Council”) CEO Denise Williams sat down remotely with ICTC's analyst Faun Rice to talk about the impact COVID-19 has had on Indigenous peoples living in BC. Immediate impacts on First Nations communities extend far beyond the ability to work remotely and include access to education, healthcare, and benefits.
What kind of policy response or support from British Columbians would you like to see in response to these challenges? Any measures that people in BC should be taking to prevent the spread of COVID-19 to Indigenous communities or offer support in another way?
I think that a lot of communities have closed, and it’s important to be mindful of community safety. At the Technology Council, we’ve stopped all travel into communities for a year and will likely continue to do so until there’s a vaccine, just because of the population density on reserves, crowded homes, numerous generations of individuals who may have underlying health concerns, and healthcare access issues. It’s important to support communities’ right to manage who comes in and out.
Beyond that, we’d like to see immediate access to cellular coverage across the province. We’d like to see the cost of internet go down, especially during this period and during recovery. We recognize that infrastructure-building takes time and money, but something that can happen immediately is better affordability, and more subsidization for all British Columbians and specifically for First Nations communities. I also think that the data caps that are in place — for example, a connected community may only be able to buy a certain amount of bandwidth — should be removed. I’d like to see communities being given full access to whatever internet access they can get, and for that to be subsidized. Those are some things that can be done today.Read more...

text: Abstract Pharmaceuticals and vaccines made by genetic engineering are well accepted all over the world. In contrast, there are many people, particularly in Europe, who are worried that food, made by the same new technology, may harm their health or cause damage to the environment. This is despite the growing evidence that genetically modified crops have the potential to improve world food security and the fact that there have, as yet, been no adverse results of their use in the food chain. Because of these worries and the mechanisms of politics, agricultural biotechnology has become the target of concerns about food safety (BSE, Foot & Mouth Disease), along with globalisation and the power of multinational companies. These concerns will, hopefully, be overcome by a more open and well-informed dialogue between scientists, opinion leaders, educators and the public. If judiciously applied, genetically modified crops will help increase sustainability and the fight against hunger in the world.

THE SECRET CATASTROPHE
Most German doctors think twice before being treated in a German hospital. With reason: every year, around a million patients in Germany contract diseases in hospital, from which up to 40,000 people die – because the bacteria they have picked up are resistant to antibiotics.
Microbiologists and hygienists have been sounding the alarm for years – but so far no one has managed to halt the spread of hospital infections. Instead the danger is being played down; patients are left to cope on their own, while potential counter-measures are held back. This film tells the story of a medical catastrophe that’s being kept under wraps.

CHSRA reveal draft environmental document for Palmdale to Burbank section
Posted: 8 September 2022 | Elliot Robinson (Editorial Assistant - Global Railway Review) | No comments yet
A draft environmental document for the more than 30-mile Palmdale to Burbank section has been released by the CHSRA.
The California High-Speed Rail Authority has released the draft environmental document for the more than 30-mile segment between Palmdale and Burbank in Southern California.
“The release of this draft environmental document underscores the momentum taking place with this transformational project,” LaDonna DiCamillo, Southern California Regional Director, said. “We have environmentally cleared 422 of the 500-mile Phase 1 system between the Bay Area and Los Angeles/Anaheim. We look forward to hearing from residents and stakeholders during this public comment phase as we work to deliver a clean, fast, and safe transportation network for all Californians.”
The draft environmental document is available for California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) and National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) public review through November 1. The project section is between 31 and 38 miles long and will connect two key population centres in Los Angeles County, the Antelope Valley, and the San Fernando Valley, by linking future multimodal transportation hubs in Palmdale and Burbank.
The draft environmental document addresses traffic, air quality, noise, vibration, and aesthetics, and evaluates the impacts and benefits of six build alternatives:
- Refined SR14
The Preferred Alternative is SR14A Alternative, which would avoid crossing Una Lake and minimises impacts to nearby wetlands.
Related news you will enjoy:
Trains operating on the Preferred Alternative alignment would be fully underground through the community of Acton, the Angeles National Forest, and the San Gabriel Mountains National Monument. The SR14A Alternative is also underground where it crosses the Pacific Crest Trail, avoiding impacts to the trail. Through the northern portion of the San Fernando Valley, the SR14A Alternative is in a tunnel, emerges near the Hansen Dam Spreading Grounds and then follows the Metrolink/Union Pacific rail alignment almost entirely within the existing corridor to Burbank.
With the release of this Palmdale to Burbank Project Section Draft EIR/EIS, the CHSRA is on track to complete environmental clearance for the full Phase 1 California High-Speed Rail System from San Francisco to Los Angeles/Anaheim by the end of 2024.
In conjunction with the public review period for the Draft EIR/EIS, the CHSRA has invited the public to participate in an online open house and an online public hearing. The open house meeting will provide the public an overview of the environmental document, opportunity for attendees to review and ask questions about the Draft EIR/EIS, and information on where to access the environmental document and how to participate in the public comment process. The public hearing will provide an opportunity to submit comments on the Draft EIR/EIS.

Chronic inflammation is killing millions and almost nobody is talking about it. I recently read an article regarding chronic inflammation that I think does a very good job of summarizing the effects of chronic low grade inflammation. Chronic inflammation is often asymptomatic, you have no idea that it is at work inside you until you develop disease unless you get checked. More and more studies are coming out linking chronic inflammation with heart disease, diabetes, cancer and early onset dementia. Here’s a quick summary in case you don’t have time to read the article.
Half of all heart attacks happen in people with normal cholesterol levels. It is chronic inflammation which destabilizes plaques in the blood vessels and leads to heart attacks. This is also a likely mechanism leading to strokes.
Higher levels of inflammation increase your risk for developing diabetes. Central adiposity or Belly Fat releases inflammatory molecules which increase your risk for diabetes as well as many other diseases. We used to think that fat was inactive but we now understand that it is quite active and is like a sack of poison hanging around your mid-section. Elite Health Hawaii can help you get rid of as much of this belly fat as possible not only to help you look better but to decrease your risk for heart disease, cancer, strokes and dementia.
Chronic inflammation has been associated with cellular damage which can lead to cancer. It has also been linked to the development of precancerous colon polyps as well as esophageal cancer.
Alzheimer’s disease is associated with chronic activation of brain cells that lead to inflammation. Research suggests that aspirin and fish oil, both anti-inflammatory substances, may be useful in preventing dementia.
At Elite Health Hawaii, we not only assess your level of inflammation but we also give you the means to reduce the inflammation. Chronic low grade inflammation is the common thread among multiple diseases and the importance of reducing this inflammation can not be overstated.

12,000 years from now, aliens from the Omega System on planet Omega — the third from its Sun, called Alpha Omega — are now entering their Space Age. Taking to the great unknown, 26 astronauts from across the globe will venture to their frozen neighboring planet of Ozal, where they will discover the true history behind their planet and solar system.
Stripes has confirmed that the "26 astronauts" will be the main characters, comprising 5 5-person squads and their leader.
- On June 28, 2014, the movie was first announced during Stripes's Summer Fanon Con 2014 presentation as a miniseries. The then-series was confirmed as coming "soon."
- On July 7, 2014, Stripes confirmed that Expedition: Ozal had been transformed into a full-length movie (to rival previous project Ben 10: Alien Universe Unleashed in length). August 31, 2014 was also set as the deadline for the completion and release of the movie.
- On July 10, 2014, the movie was confirmed to be 10 parts in length, with a release set for August 2014.
- On July 14, 2014, the movie's production was said to be in full swing as the outlines were complete and the first and final versions of the movie were underway. The August release was also reaffirmed.
- On July 21, 2014, a mature version of the movie was confirmed for MBTFF.

According to the Press Gazette survey, 50 government departments and quangos were asked for information, which the public is entitled to under the Code of Practice on Access to Government Information.
But results showed only 11 departments replied "quickly and willingly", 25 responded only "adequately", some giving information after being prompted to reply, and 11 failed to comply with the code by providing "wrong or inadequate" information. Some did not give any information in their responses and three refused to reply at all.
The Code of Practice was introduced in 1994 when the Government resisted calls for a Freedom of Information Act.
Press Gazette reported that those organisations which showed good practice included the Foreign Office, the Department of the Environment, Oftel and the Department of Trade and Industry.

Having come from a large family living well in the suburbs, I came from plenty however it wasn’t enough for me.
I figured having less however cherishing everything would bring the peace plus happiness I couldn’t get from our costly lifestyle! My neighbor kept reading about living large in a tiny apartment plus every time I caught him doing that it piqued our interest more plus more.
This curiosity led myself and others to attend a tiny apartment convention with lots of commercial HVAC for sale plus from there I was hooked. Spoke to our dad about it plus I picked a befitting tiny apartment worth $34,000; Having made a rush decision, I did not guess a lot of things, a single of them being how to manage energy saving tips in a tiny house. I hastily realised I needed to learn more about a/c plus also engage the a/c repair of a local repair provider to take myself and others through our heating system/heater installation needs. The apartment was powered from a grid fastenion so the previous owner did not need too much air ductâ€¦ But since I was planning to go off-grid, I needed a lot of a/c repair plus renovation. To begin with, the seller had installed a commercial a/c single break plan which I did not need. The nice thing is that he sold myself and others the small watt furnace he had although I soon turned it into a furnace for sale because the central A/C overhaul I planned would suffice separate from portable A/C units, however luckily, I found a way to incorporate a new ductless mini break plus took a few tutorials on how to troubleshoot heat pump repair if i ever needed to do so however for now things were looking up thanks to a helpful a/c representative fastenion from our dad.

The voice. It reels you in. Unvarnished and natural. Slowly you begin to notice the surroundings. An acoustic guitar weaving through the multi-hued tones of a rich, sonic canvas. All in support of the song. Sincere lyrics crafted with pure emotion. This is Jamie Varley. Whether you see him perform one-on-one with his acoustic guitar in an intimate setting or leading an extraordinary band in a packed house -- Jamie's enthusiasm is infectious. He reaches out to you. To each and every person present, Jamie bares a piece of his soul. "You Ride" is the first solo release by this San Diego songsmith, and it melds style and artistry into a journey that is immediately comfortable and refreshing. The infectious, elementary school synth pop of the opening tune "Waking Up" touches on introspective wisdom before transitioning into "Sunshine," an epic love song that blossoms as it builds from a clean and pure acoustic guitar/vocal to a wall of sound that is enveloping but never overbearing. "Runaways" spins a sorrowful tale of damaged relationships while "New Love Song" begins with a lonely solo organ churning as the band rides into view along with the realization of a new love. "Silver Bird" is a haunting story of loss delivered through a heart-wrenching live solo performance of mesmerizing acoustic guitar and vocals torn with emotion. This leads to the buried treasure of the record, "Little Child," a vibey lullaby that swims through your subconscious and embeds itself deep within your soul. "Flooded Heart" kicks in the afterburners with it's blazing rock chorus and settles into the energetic piano pop of "Awakening." The album comes to a close with the mrDSP remix of "You Ride," a captivating blend of organic and electronic, elevating this title track to new levels of artistic sophistication. Pure. Genuine. Relaxed. Something everyone can identify with. Jamie Varley, "You Ride" -- it will take you wherever you want to be.

There is an increase in respiratory rate and a decrease in oxygen saturation. The temperature is slightly elevated, which is a common finding post-surgery. The temperature remained stable over the 90-minute period.
The changes in the above vital signs suggest hypovolemic shock, particularly in the context of recent abdominal surgery. Hypovolemic shock is a life-threatening condition that occurs with significant fluid loss such as blood. As part of diagnostic reasoning, healthcare providers recognize the indicators of hypovolemic shock as a decrease in blood pressure and an increase in pulse. The change in the respiratory rate is a compensating mechanism for blood loss and decreasing oxygen saturation: physiological factors stimulate increased respiratory rate to meet the oxygen demands of tissues as a result of decreasing blood pressure.
2. What should the healthcare provider’s next actions be?
This condition is a medical emergency that requires immediate intervention.
- Notify the most responsible provider (if you are not the most responsible provider).
- Anticipate fluid rehydration and continue to monitor the client closely.

Spotted: Chinese internet company, Tencent, who own Chinese messaging service WeChat, has unveiled the concept for a 22-million-square-foot car-free district in Shenzhen. Urban development will prioritise pedestrians and green spaces.
Designed by NBBJ – an architecture firm with work with Google, Samsung, and Amazon under its belt – Net City will be roughly the size and shape of Midtown Manhattan and powered by solar panels. The project will be completed in three phases over the next seven years.
The development will include offices, homes, parks and entertainment venues. Terraced buildings between one to 30 stories will overlook the coast. Once complete, the area should be able to accommodate up to 80,000 residents and workers.
There will be no roads for cars; instead, residents, commuters and visitors will connect to Shenzhen via subway and travel through Net City on foot or by bicycle. Ferries will provide public transport along the waterways.
NBBJ also plans to plant mangrove trees along the shore to act as a natural flood defence and sensors will be used to track flooding. Net City will form part of China’s Sponge City initiative for new urban zones with more environmentally friendly types of flood defences and water management.

That hurdle, in a nutshell, required the Borough of Emmaus to become the applicant on the $500,000 state Redevelopment Assistance Capital Program grant being used to help fund the renovation, taking the place of the Emmaus Main Street Partners.
This more significant role for the borough, Pepe stresses, does not increase its financial risk at all. It simply means more work. For him.
“I am the grant compliance officer now,” Pepe says. “I have to deal with all the paperwork now. Our role has significantly increased as far as what we thought was going on versus what our commitment has to be now.
“We are no more financially liable, there’s just more work
now,” he says.
The story of what brought things to this point starts four years ago when the EMSP applied for the RACP grant and reaches its critical point last Friday when Pepe got a call from the EMSP’s attorney telling him that the RACP grant was in jeopardy because the state had suddenly deemed the Main Street Partners an illegal grant applicant.
Without the RACP grant, project developer Village Centre Properties would not receive its expected $500,000 reimbursement -- which equates to 50 percent of the total project cost, Pepe explains. With the building being about one month from completion, the developer has basically spent its anticipated $1 million in upfront costs, he says.
In threatening to yank the grant money, the state said that a municipality was an eligible grant applicant, so Monday night Emmaus Borough Council voted to assume the grant applicant role in the place of the Main Street Partners.
“[Monday] evening, council was frustrated, with good reason,” Pepe says. “We did everything we were supposed to and now all of a sudden we are the applicant for the grant.
“In the end,” Pepe says, “council voted to do it because it was what was best for Emmaus.
“Shame on the Commonwealth for waiting until the project is 2/3rds of the way completed to start making decisions. They are the ones who should be held accountable for this,” Pepe says.

Today, we are discussing the top 10 most popular and common lies that narcissists tell. We all know that narcissists are pathological liars, and they lie about almost everything. In fact, many times, they lie about things that don’t even matter. But there are some standard lies that you will typically hear from a narcissist. So today, I’m going to shed some light on what I think are the top 10 most popular and common lies that most narcissists use.
1. They will lie about their education and the accolades associated with it.
For example, they may lie about their grades, claiming to be straight-A students or on the honor roll when, in reality, they barely passed. They might falsely claim to have a degree or exaggerate their qualifications. They could lie about their sports achievements, pretending to be star players when they were not involved in sports at all. Additionally, they may fabricate stories about being the captain of the football team or the cheerleading squad when they never played any sports. These lies extend to their academic accomplishments, like falsely stating they graduated summa cum laude with a near-genius IQ. They might also lie about attending prestigious Ivy League colleges when they actually went to community colleges. Many narcissists lie about their education and school achievements.
2. Narcissists lie about being Christians, highly religious, or deeply empathetic individuals.
They aim to portray themselves as saints with strong character. While they may attend church for appearances, they often do not genuinely practice or believe in the teachings of their religion. They use their spirituality or Christianity as part of their fake facade. This can be effective in lowering the guard of others who automatically assume that no one would lie about something sacred. It’s crucial for empaths not to take anyone’s word at face value until actions and words consistently align.

Local background on sex ed curriculum change
Editor's note: The legislation explained in this column, SB 5395, is subject of Referendum 90 on this November's ballot. This column, from three Kitsap residents involved in the bill's origin, is intended to explain some background efforts that led to the legislation. The column was written and submitted prior to the referendum qualifying for the ballot.
When we became policymakers – on the school board and in the state Senate – we made a promise.
We promised to listen to our community and elevate their priorities, to ask our neighbors for guidance and to get things done together. Our approach to establishing a statewide, comprehensive sexual health education (CSHE) standard for our K-12 public schools was no exception. It was only after dozens and dozens of conversations over the course of many months that the state Legislature took a vote to implement standardized CSHE.
We talked to teachers, who said that CSHE gives them the resources they need to teach critical themes like affirmative consent and individual empowerment.
We talked to students, who have been asking for a robust education that gives them and their peers the tools they need to take care of their bodies, from adolescence into adulthood.
We talked to parents, who want what’s best for their kids – whether they’re kindergarteners or seniors in high school.
And we talked to one another – school board members to senators – about how CSHE provides attainable standards by which to implement this important material, and the freedom to design it in a way that suits their district’s needs.
We heard that folks want age-appropriate, medically accurate information about healthy bodies and relationships. They asked for the concept of consent to be taught to students earlier than “never” so that young children and teens can recognize inappropriate behavior and their right to reject it. They asked for the right of parents to review and inform the curriculum and opt their children out of any portion of the instruction. They asked for a curriculum that is already being taught in most school districts throughout the state (including in Bremerton, Central Kitsap, South Kitsap, and Peninsula) to be available statewide.
SB 5395 incorporates parent, student, and expert voices, but some intentionally misleading information being promoted about this bill leaves all of that out. These untrue claims stoke fear and give the impression that we don’t care about children or their parents. Nothing could be further from the truth.
The truth is that we supported SB 5395 because it establishes obtainable standards for evidence-based, community-informed curricula that can help to address current problems. The truth is, the CDC estimates that young people ages 15–24 make up just over one-fourth of the sexually active population, but account for half of the 20 million new STIs that occur in the United States each year. Around ten percent of 8th graders, 10th graders, and 12th graders report being harassed in the span of a single month because of their sexual identity. One in every four seniors in high school – and one in three female-identified seniors – report having been forced into nonconsensual sexual acts.
The truth is that adults who experienced trauma as children tell us that a better sexual health education would have helped them when they needed it.
It’s our job to address these heartbreaking facts. We need to do what we can to equip our students with the information they need to stay safe – a standardized CSHE policy will be part of the solution.
Our community is home to school districts that are already using CSHE curricula – in high school, middle school, and elementary school – which meet the criteria established by SB 5395. If you are happy with what your students currently learn, let your school board know! We never want to make changes without parent and student input, and we always welcome your engagement when we build the best possible educational experience for your child.
Our community is also home to so many advocates in this conversation, and we are grateful for the outpouring of voices we’ve heard. Every Washingtonians’ voice matters and we are thankful for every single person who uses theirs to help shape policy.

Faeries by Isaac Asimov
Leah on the Offbeat. Albertalli continues her reign with Leah on the Offbeat , a semi-sequel to her previous Simon vs. Leah on the Offbeat picks up near where Simon left off, with Leah and her friends on the verge of senior year. Leah struggles with her confidence as her friend group shifts around her. Though she projects a sarcastic and self-assured nature--Slytherin to the bone--Leah feels unsure and unworthy of everything.
She doesn't know how to share she's bisexual, even to her best friend, Simon, who is gay. She doesn't think her art is any good, doesn't know how to handle potential crushes that she may have. Albertalli renders Leah beautifully--her fears will speak to many teen readers as she and her peers navigate the space between being high schoolers and college students. Leah on the Offbeat feels worthy of the mantle left by Simon, a perfect story for any teen and a necessary story for queer ones.
Leah finds hope, strength, joy, and surety; the reader will, too. Andersen, Hans Christian. Canterbury Classics. A Demon creates a magic mirror that reflects negative thoughts and when one of his minions steals the mirror and it breaks, shards of glass fall all over the lands. People that come in contact turn mean and Kay, Gerda's, best friend is a victim.
The only way to save Kay is to get him back from the mean and horrible Snow Queen. In the beginning of the book there is an introduction telling when the story was originally published along with some of the background history that Andersen used to write his tale of adventure and love.
The illustrations are soft with a gothic feel to them and compliment the story line quite well. Again, liberties have been taken, but overall fans of Hans Christian Andersen will enjoy this classic tale. Anderson, Laurie Halse. Speak: The Graphic Novel.
When Speak was first published in , it was groundbreaking. It addressed rape and its aftermath in a way that no other YA book had.
Almost 20 years later, it has not become dated and its conversations and concerns are still relevant today. Drawn in stark, black and white, the book is haunting.

Will $1trillion coin fix US debt crisis? Government may mint platinum currency to pay to itself
- Politicians are considering minting a $1trillion coin
- It would then be paid into the Treasury's own account
- Plan is to help cancel some of US's $16.4trillion debt
American politicians are considering creating a $1trillion platinum coin which the US Treasury would pay to itself with the aim of reducing the country’s monumental debt.
Treasury Secretary Timothy Geithner has the authority to mint platinum coins in the denomination of his choosing, and experts say the idea is being taken seriously in Washington.
The proposal would involve the Treasury minting the coin and depositing it into its own account at the Federal Reserve, allowing the government to write down or cancel $1trillion of its $16.4trillion debt.
Almost 5,000 people have signed a petition for the Government to mint the special coin to help pay off its huge debt
The coin would be paid into the Treasury's own account at the Federal Reserve
The idea was first raised last year and is gaining momentum.
A formal petition has been started asking the White House to take the measure to avoid another high-stakes ‘fiscal cliff’ battle to raise the debt ceiling.
Economist and Nobel prizewinner Paul Krugman, one of those backing the idea, said the time had come to use any economic tools available to the Government.
Economist and Nobel prizewinner Paul Krugman has backed the plan but says it is a 'gimmick'
Writing in his blog on the New York Times website, Mr Krugman said: ‘This is all a gimmick – but since the debt ceiling itself is crazy, allowing Congress to tell the President to spend money then tell him that he can’t raise the money he’s supposed to spend, there’s a pretty good case for using whatever gimmicks come to hand.’
The petition on the White House website – launched by someone who posted his name only as Graham K – has attracted nearly 5,000 signatures.
It needs to get 25,000 by February 3 to get a formal White House response.
It says: ‘With the creation and Treasury deposit of a new platinum coin with a value of $1trillion, we would avert the absurd yet imminent debt ceiling face-off in Congress in two quick and simple steps!
‘While this may seem like an unnecessarily extreme measure, it is no more absurd than playing political football with the US – and global – economy at stake.’
Financial analyst Cullen Roche said the idea is being taken seriously in the White House.
The Treasury has two months to solve its financial crisis as the fiscal cliff deal reached in Congress gives politicians until the end of February to raise the debt limit before the country defaults.

2. The Story of Abraham
3. What do we know in the narrative of Abraham
4. A simple parallel between the narrative of Abraham and the narrative of Joseph in Antiquities.
We can suppose that Josephus is influenced by Hellenistic narrative style through the words and narrative techniques. Thus Thakeray suggested that he employed the assistance who is well known about ancient Geek literature. But Attridge said it is more plausible to suppose that Josephus himself introduced into his narrative various vocabulary items and turns of phrase which he had gleaned from his reading of the classics.
Attridge said there are some elements of Hellenism in the book, Antiquities.
First, it is dramatic style. It is the technique which develop the narratives rather than the technique which interprets the narratives. We can say the style as Greco-Roman novel. Especially, some narratives were employed in Greco-Roman Erotic narratives.

Global Scar Treatment Market Overview:
The scar treatment market is anticipated to grow by about 9.8% over the forecast period from 2018 to 2023. Any burn injury or other trauma, including surgery, can cause a scar. The appearance and treatment of scar after injury depends on multiple factors that reduce scars but don’t remove them completely. Its market is motivated mainly by road accidents, burn injuries, technological development, and aesthetics. Based on geographical analysis, North America is anticipated to maintain dominance due to a strong demand for aesthetics, early implementation of sophisticated techniques, and social awareness.
Increased road accidents and burn injuries drive primarily Scar Treatment Market:
Road accidents lead to some of the most common injuries like burns and lacerations, often leading to a scar. The scar creates long-term inflexibility and harsh painful times. According to the Safe International Road Travel Association, about 3,290 fatalities happen every day, worldwide, from road accidents. About 20-50 million patients between 15-44 years get wounded or handicapped with the age group. Additionally, road accidents in low-and middle-income nations cost about $65 billion annually. In the US, road accidents are a single significant cause of healthy citizen’s death. In developing economies like India with an enormous population, drunken driving is one of the major causes of road accidents. Higher hospital admission rates due to road accidents and burns are among the main causes of the scar therapy market growth. Other driving factors include technological advances in skincare and growing aesthetic concerns, especially in developed markets.

Laser-based products high cost acts as a major barrier for the Scar Treatment Market:
Laser scar treatment does not make a scar disappear but is intended to make it look less noticed around by others. Developed countries like the US and UK suffer mostly from expansive laser-based treatments. This often causes families to migrate across Western European countries for medical tourism choices or emerging Asian markets. Thus, countries suffer from technical expertise, technological failures or delays in advanced products to be available in hospitals/clinics in that region with affordability and demand. Treatment costs about USD 500 to USD 5000 depending on the treatment and physician. Additionally, laser treatment-related complications such as wave lasers can cause significant collateral heat harm and necrosis, post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation, among others. Thus, it is one of the main barriers to scar therapy market growth.
North America is expected to Retain Dominance in Scar Treatment Market:
North America is the main scar therapy market region for the 2018-2023 forecast period. Increasing demand for esthetic processes elevated disposable income of general people on personal care products and increasing investment by biopharmaceutical businesses on innovative esthetic processes drive this market mainly in North America. Moreover, North America’s population is highly stressed with inappropriate food habits including fast foods and excessive stress along with hormonal imbalances that strongly influence the development of scar therapy in this region.

The pooled awareness, specificity, PLR, NLR, andDORwere 0.674 (95%CI: 0.517C0.800), 0.935 (95%CI: 0.888C0.963), 10.307 (95%CI: 6.167C17.227), 0.348 (95%CI: 0.226C0.537), and 29.582 (95%CI: 4.582C60.012), respectively. The AUC was 0.93 (95% CI: 0.90C0.95). The meta-analysis shows that recognition of EGFR mutation by cfDNA can be of sufficient diagnostic precision and cfDNA evaluation is actually a guaranteeing screening check for NSCLC. Non-small cell lung tumor (NSCLC) may be the most common kind of lung tumor, accounting for approximately 80% situations of lung malignancy, & most NSCLC individuals are in advanced stage when diagnosed1. Epithermal development element receptor-tyrosine kinase inhibitors (EGFR-TKIs), such as for example gefitinib and erlotinib have already been utilized as targeted therapy in NSCLC. Nevertheless, only an integral part of NSCLC individuals with feminine gender, by no means smokers, adenocarcinoma and Asian ethnicity are practical to EGFR-TKIs2. In ’09 2009, the landmark medical trial, IPASS (Iressa Pan-Asia Research) exhibited that gefitinib demonstrated better success in NSCLC individuals with activating EGFR mutations3. From then on, many medical trials verified that selecting EGFR-TKIs ought to be predicated on EGFR mutation position not on scientific features4,5,6. EGFR mutation position is a practical and dependable biomarker for the responsiveness to EGFR-TKIs7,8. The deletion in exon 19 and stage mutation in exon 21 (L858R) anticipate great response to EGFR-TKIs8, as the stage mutation in exon 20 (T790M) signifies level of resistance 377090-84-1 supplier to EGFR-TIKs and poor prognosis9. Additionally, it had been discovered that chemotherapy could influence EGFR mutation position, and sufferers whose EGFR mutations turned from positive to adverse after chemotherapy got a better incomplete response10. Thus, recognition of EGFR mutation position is crucial for the use of EGFR-TKIs and monitoring chemotherapy response in scientific practice. Since many NSCLC sufferers are diagnosed at advanced stage, medical procedures is no more possible which is hard to obtain sufficient 377090-84-1 supplier Rabbit Polyclonal to ATP5I tissue for molecular tests. Alternatively, for real-time monitoring of EGFR mutation position, repeat biopsy can be impossible. Thus, it really is necessary for a feasible and delicate 377090-84-1 supplier biomarker for the recognition of EGFR mutation. Circulating free of charge DNA (cfDNA) continues to be proposed alternatively strategy for the recognition of EGFR mutation11,12. Many studies have looked into the diagnostic efficiency of cfDNA and an array of the concordance prices between cfDNA and tissue have already been reported13,14,15,16. With accumulating proof, varied results increase concern about the diagnostic worth of cfDNA for the recognition of EGFR mutation. To handle this matter, we performed this meta-analysis and organized review to evaluate the diagnostic precision of cfDNA to tissue for the recognition of EGFR mutations. Strategies Books search This meta-analysis was performed and reported based on the guide about diagnostic research17. Potentially relevant research were determined by looking PubMed, EMBASE, as well as the Cochrane collection. A organized and extensive search was performed for the 3 directories using mix of key term and medical subheadings: lung neoplasms or lung tumor, Epidermal Growth Aspect Receptor or erbB1, serum or plasma or circulating, and mutations. Substitute spellings and abbreviations had been also considered. To recognize additional studies, guide lists of included research and relevant testimonials were also personally searched. The books search was executed without any restrictions as well as the last search was performed on March 3, 2014. Addition and exclusion requirements Information retrieved from directories and guide lists were initial screened by game titles and abstracts and full-text content of relevant research were retrieved for even more review. Eligible research were selected based on the pursuing inclusion requirements: 1) all NSCLC sufferers involved ought to be diagnosed histopathologically or cytologically; 2) EGFR mutation position should be discovered by circulating free of charge DNA; 3) EGFR mutations had been verified by recognition of tumor tissue; 4) enough data to create the diagnostic 2 2 desk. Studies met the next criteria had been excluded: 1) tumor tissue and cfDNA weren’t matched; 2) EGFR mutation position were not confirmed by recognition of tumor tissue; 3) inadequate data to create the two 2 2 desk; 4) duplicate reviews from your same individuals (the most recent or the main one with most NSCLC individuals had been included). All information were examined by two writers individually and reached consensus at each qualified research. Data extraction The next data had been extracted by 2 writers individually: name of writer, 12 months of publication, nation where the research was carried out, percentage of feminine, percentage of ever-smokers, histological type, TNM stage, options for EGFR.

- Allow the potatoes to cool for a few minutes before taking them off the pan/baking dish. Handling them too early will not allow the parmesan crust to stick completely.
- Do not overcrowd your baking dish. You want to leave enough room so that the potatoes crisp up while they soak up the buttered parmesan from the bottom of the baking dish.

Firstly, this hotel is NOT "just on the Cliffs" as the brochure implies - it is a long way from the sea (15-20 minutes walk).
The area is ABSOLUTELY TERRIBLE with adjacent properties full of low-cost bedsits, the occupants of whch were quite intimidating. We actually witnessed drug dealing practically on the street and the noise was terrible up to 4am on one night. This is also the centre of the Gay district and if you are not comfortable with same sex couples frolicing in the street, be warned!
As for the hotel itself, it is tatty and dated and the staff are quite rude. We were given a TIMED APPOINTMENT (8.15am SHARP) at which to have our breakfast. I have never heard the likes of such a regimented way to treat your guests! But don't worry, when the breakfast came, it was practically raw and inedible anyway.
On top of all of the above, there was no external area to the hotel in which to sit and enjoy a drink (or smoke) if the weather should be nice. It was overall extremely disappointing and there are far better places to stay in this resort for far less money which provide a decent, honest service. You have been warned !!!!!!!

Bastille cable car route Grenoble
Print the map and set off on the trails of the Bastille for an orienteering race made up of 14 markers.
Apprentice guidance counselors, it's up to you!
This course will allow you to take height and to observe the three massifs and the city of Grenoble through different points of view, the whole to the sound of the birds and in the shade of the trees!
The objective of the orienteering race is to find your bearings thanks to natural and artificial elements (isolated tree, rock, panel...) in order to find the markers symbolized by a red circle; the start is symbolized by a red rod. The order of search is imposed, however you are free to choose your path to reach it.
At each marker found, punch your map with the red clip embedded in the wooden post.
All along your route, check that the pictograms on your plates correspond to the punches of each beacon.
Always confirm your position by identifying on the map elements that you can observe around you: buildings, roads, copses, signs, crossings...
This project was developed in partnership with the Master "Leisure Environment Sport and Tourism" of UFRASTAPS of Grenoble.
All year round.

Being the You That You Were Born to Be
Do You Know Who You Are?
Seems like a straightforward question to ask. Yet this straightforward question can lead to an uncomfortable thought and feeling because it requires us to actually ask and then think about who we really are. I will admit it’s not something we often talk about at dinner parties or social events. In fact, I have found that this question is usually avoided at all costs. We just don’t want to think about who we are and if we do, we definitely don’t want to share it…with anyone…like ever.
So it seems to me that the unwillingness to examination one’s self is buried deep in fear. It’s as though our version of who we are has been so tainted by life’s experiences that we have shut off self-examination and therefore self-awareness.
Now ask a five-year-old to tell you who they are, and they will go on for a minimum of twenty minutes. They know who they are and what they are going to be when they grow up. They tell you this in detail because the five-year-old still trusts what they know about themselves. They then focus that trust on what could be. You could say that a five-year-old is more focused than the average adult when it comes to answering the question “Do You Know Who You Are?”
How do I know this? Well I was once five and I remember knowing that I could be or do anything. I also remember that my belief was feared out of me by the time I was fifteen. Fear combined with environmental “shoulding” left me with the inability to focus or trust my inner knowing.
Fast forward to today and I am just now understanding that I am the most trustworthy person I know. For years I chose the cloak of fear that made it possible for me to mistrust me. It was the cloak of fear that led to seeking others for expert advice on me. I had a PhD in going without. In fact, I spent so much time and money on all the experts’ advice that I could have paid for a PhD.
Why did I do this? That’s simple. I didn’t trust myself enough to ask me who I was or what I needed. I kept looking to others to tell me who I was because if I asked me, I might actually realize I didn’t need the “expert” opinion. If I asked me, I might really find the answer and then I would have no choice but to trust it and where would that lead? To mayhem and debauchery for the status quo.
The most interesting thing about knowing who you are is that it freaks people out. It freaks them out because knowing yourself requires others to see that there is an option. That there is a whole new way to look at life and that’s scary because it will require them to see you and themselves differently. Knowing who you are makes you visionary.
So, the next time someone asks you who you are, remember your five-year-old self and tell them exactly who you are and who you came here to be.
Welcome down the rabbit hole of Knowing Who You Are.
