text: TGF-beta, a multifunctional cytokine, plays an important role in embryogenesis and in regulating repair and remodeling following tissue injury. Many of the biological actions of TGF-beta are mediated by widespread effects on deposition of extracellular matrix. TGF-beta stimulates the synthesis of individual matrix components including proteoglycans, collagens and glycoproteins. TGF-beta also blocks matrix degradation by decreasing the synthesis of proteases and increasing the synthesis of protease inhibitors. Finally, TGF-beta increases the synthesis of matrix receptors and alters their relative proportions on the surface of cells in a manner that could facilitate adhesion to matrix. All of these events have largely been demonstrated in vitro in cultured cells. In an experimental model of glomerulonephritis we have shown that TGF-beta is responsible for the accumulation of pathological matrix in the glomeruli following immunological injury. Furthermore, all three of TGF-beta's actions on extracellular matrix--increased synthesis, decreased degradation and modulation of receptors--have now been documented to be involved in matrix deposition in vivo in this model. Administration of the proteoglycan decorin suppressed TGF-beta-induced matrix deposition in the nephritic glomeruli, thus confirming a physiological role for decorin as a regulator of TGF-beta. Inhibitors of TGF-beta may be important future drugs in treating fibrotic diseases caused by overproduction of TGF-beta.

Hi friends! Just popping in real quick to share a set of cards I made for my Etsy shop! I really like how these cuties turned out! The inspiration came to me when I was straightening out some of the embellishments in my stash yesterday, and I came across these cherry brads from Doodlebug. This morning, I saw the Clean and Simple sketch, and the cherry brads popped right back into my brain and I knew I had to make a set of cards based off the sketch:
I went through my 6x6 pads and pulled out some papers from different Lime Twist collections by My Mind's Eye. I combined some sentiments from Paper Smooches stamps and die-cut the banner with a Clear and Simple Stamps die. I think the pink cardstock is from Michaels but the brown is Dark Chocolate from Papertrey Ink.
That about sums up this set... it's still available for sale if you're interested! :) Hope you enjoy it, thanks for stopping by!
-Suzanne :O )

I’m a little concerned about something and am considering going to a different dentist. I had a tooth that needed a root canal and crown. I wanted a CEREC, but my dentist doesn’t have that machine so I just stuck with the basic old traditional crown. He placed a temporary crown and then I left town on business. I was only gone one day when the temporary cracked and came off. I called the dentist and he told me not to worry about it. If I was careful the tooth should be fine. Well, it wasn’t fine. My tooth broke the next day even though I tried to avoid it. I went back to my dentist’s office as soon as I got back in town. He said the tooth was too brittle to be saved and I would have to have it extracted. Now I’m out all this time and money and I’m losing what I felt was a decent tooth. If he’d given me a CEREC crown like I’d asked, would that have helped? Should I go somewhere else to see if the tooth can be saved?
Missy L. – Missouri
Something seems fishy to me. It’s very unlikely the tooth would have turned brittle after a root canal that quickly if it were healthy, viable structure. I think it would be a good idea to get a second opinion as to whether the tooth can be saved.
Your dentist shouldn’t have allowed the tooth to remain exposed after his temporary crown failed. That puts extra stress both on you and the tooth nub. It would have been much better if he’d had you go to an emergency dentist to get the temporary repaired and re-bonded. It’s not good for your tooth to be left that exposed.
Yes, a CEREC crown would have prevented this because even if the tooth was more brittle than normal, the crown would already have been in place. CEREC crowns leave less risk to the tooth than traditional crowns, though there are still times when a traditional crown makes more sense. All-porcelain crowns look better on your front teeth.
And while, yes, a CEREC crown is technically an all-porcelain crown, they’re milled from a single block of porcelain. This can make the color look flat. Traditional crowns can be done in several layers, allowing an artistic cosmetic dentist to create it as beautiful and varied as your natural teeth.

So much for helping the middle-class
Once again, Justin Trudeau makes it way too easy to pick on him.
I try to change up my columns, but every week, he comes up with a new, fresh way to grind my gears that little else - except perhaps the re-dub of one of my favourite shows that few here would understand - has managed to surpass. It has nothing to do with his party or where they sit on the political spectrum; it has everything to do with his hypocrisy.
I suppose I can understand why he continues to use it - saying one thing and doing another has been somewhat of an effective tool for him, and those who fail to do their own research eat up the accolades and numerous pats on the back he’s given himself. He said he’s done all this great stuff, so he must have actually done it. What a great person we have leading our country.
He promised to act on missing and murdered Indigenous women “unlike the previous government,” and “unlike the previous government,” lowered taxes on middle-class Canadians. I don’t know how many times I’ve heard him laud his party for the latter in particular, but I feel like he’s playing tour guide with Canadians - showing us all the highlights and hot spots of a destination while conveniently neglecting to show us the real story.
Sure, the tax rate for the second-lowest federal tax bracket was lowered from 22 per cent to 20.5 per cent, but that 1.5 per cent decrease means nothing when it was accompanied by the elimination of the child fitness tax credit and income-splitting, tax-free savings accounts, increase to CPP and, of course, the imposing of a carbon tax if the provinces fail to put one in themselves.
What a way to help the middle-class.
Now, Trudeau’s off to play hero again, saving Canadians from those mischievous tax shelters known as small businesses by eliminating tax incentives, “income sprinkling” and more.
“We’re doing more for the people who need it and doing less for the people who don’t,” Trudeau said to reporters in Saskatoon last week. The response, from someone who has implied on more than one occasion that small businesses - Canada’s wealthiest, according to him - reap unfair rewards that no one benefits from, is hardly surprising.
What it is, however, is out of touch.
It sounds great - taking from the rich to lessen the burden on the poor (at least, that’s the spin he’s trying to sell). Except, it isn’t at all what he’s actually doing.
Small businesses are the backbone of the Canadian economy. Small businesses are even the backbone of local economy. When I look at the businesses here in Lacombe, I don’t see tax evaders - I see family businesses just trying to provide a service to the community. I don’t see them rolling around in cash or driving up in cadillacs. I see owners pitching in to help their employees, not steal from them to make an extra few dollars. I see an incredibly giving community who pitch in to help others however they can, whether it’s donating time, or any extra money they have to charities and non-profit organizations to help those less fortunate and in need.
Trudeau and his right hand man on the issue, Finance Minister Bill Morneau, however, are intent on portraying these businesses as being operated by greedy tax cheats.
Morneau even had to hold a conference call to deal with Liberal backbenchers on the issue and combat what he believes is “rampant misinformation” on what the proposed changes (put into motion while the House of Commons was not actually in session) actually entails.
The only rampant misinformation out there, though, seems to be coming out of both his and Trudeau’s mouths - that income grabbing from 3.5 million Canadians is an attack on the rich.
What do either know about helping the middle-class? Both were born into wealth. Both don’t understand the gravity of using one’s house as collateral to open up a small business, or the strains owning and operating one can put on an entire family. They don’t understand the risks, or clearly what a small business even is or these changes would not have been put forward at all.
Honestly, I feel like Trudeau and the entire Liberal caucus need to be on some special edition of Undercover Boss where they’re forced to work at a variety of small-businesses alongside middle-class workers, learning how changes like this truly affect them. They need to really understand what drives the economy, and how these businesses truly work and how completely ignorant they’re being of the middle-class they laud themselves for helping.
Maybe then I’ll actually get some new fodder for my columns.


Today the House passed by a 1 vote needed majority a Health Care revision law which must now go to the Republican controlled Senate for its approval. There is some question that there will be enough Republican objections to defeat the bill in its present form.
My opinion is that there will be a substantial premium increase for those that need insurance the most; the elderly who can least afford high insurance costs, as well as those with chronic or congenital disorders. The elderly on fixed income may have two choices; (1) no supplemental insurance relying on Medicare with its restrictions on providers and services, or (2) accepting a “cheap” policy with also limitations on providers (panel members only) and treatments. Costs will be contained by these patients not seeking or receiving the care they need. That includes skipping medications.
Here are the key measures in the House bill: (From NBC News)
- Mandates: It guts the IRS requirement in Obamacare that people with purchase health insurance or face a fine.
- Tax credits: The bill replaces subsidies for people to purchase insurance in the individual market in the Affordable Care Act based on income with refundable tax credits based on age. The impact is that it will provide more people with assistance but with fewer dollars, especially for the older Americans.
- Medicaid: The Medicaid expansion is frozen immediately and in two years the states can start to adopt either a block grant for the program or a new formula based on population instead of need. In an attempt to make the bill more conservative, work requirements have been added for most able-bodied recipients who aren't pregnant or caring for a child under 6.
- High risk pools: The bill provides $130 billion to states over ten years for high risk insurance pools to cover the most expensive to insure. A new amendment by Rep. Fred Upton of Michigan adds an additional $8 billion to assist people with pre-existing conditions.
- State waivers: States can obtain waivers so insurers don't have to offer robust benefits packages that include maternity care and mental health coverage. Waivers can also be obtained to charge sicker people and people with pre-existing conditions more. Those people would most likely then go into the high risk insurance pools.
- Taxes: It repeals every Obamacare tax including the .9 percent tax on couples making more than $250,000 and a 3.8 percent tax on investment income.
- Health Savings Accounts: The measure increases the allowable contribution limits of Health Savings Accounts
- Other: It keeps the Obamacare provision that people under the age of 26 can stay on their parents' insurance.
Other comments about this plan;
· "Trump care eviscerates essential health benefits," such as maternity care and prescription drug coverage, said House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi, D-Calif., "... and guts protections for people with pre-existing conditions."
- · The current House bill would not fully repeal the 2010 Affordable Care Act, but it would kill major elements of that Democratic law. For example, the American Health Care Act would nix the requirement that most Americans purchase insurance, but it would keep in place a provision allowing younger Americans to stay on their parents' health plans until age 26.
- · The Republican proposal would repeal the ACA’s tax credits, which are based on income and the cost of health insurance in their local market, and replace those with less generous tax credits based on age. The bill would also phase out Obamacare's Medicaid expansion starting Jan. 1, 2020.
- · The most contentious element centered on how to deal with patients who have pre-existing conditions, such as cancer, asthma, or diabetes. The Affordable Care Act bars insurance companies from discriminating against those with pre-existing conditions. The GOP bill would weaken that protection by allowing states to seek a waiver for insurance companies to charge people with pre-existing conditions higher premiums than other consumers.
The greatest fault with “Obama Care” was that it turned a people friendly profession into a “for profit" oriented business dominated by insurance carriers and conglomerate hospital and provider enterprises. Although I could not “practice” under ACA this iteration will be worse.

Stabbing in Etten-Leur
A man was seriously injured after being stabbed on Friday evening in the North Brabant town Etten-Leur near Breda. He was likely stabbed by his acquaintance near a property at the Johan de Wittlaan in the Brabant town, according to De Telegraaf. (Jumpcoach/Wikimedia) The wounded man drove his car a few streets away to the residence of a family at Van Zuylenhof. The family then contacted authorities. Police arrested a 31-year-old woman, but investigators still do not know the exact relationship between the woman and the man. What had happened before the stabbing is also unclear. The 28-year-old man is now hospitalized, De Telegraaf reports. His condition is serious.

Hello and welcome to the Watcher’s Council’s ‘Weasel Of The Week’ nominations, where we award the famed golden plastic Weasel to a public figure who particularly deserves to be slimed and mocked for his or her dastardly deeds during the week. Every Tuesday morning, tune in for the Weasel of the Week nominations and check back Thursday to see which Weasel gets the votes and walks off with the statuette of shame!
Here are this weeks’ nominees…
Democrat Congressman And Illegal Alien Grievance Monger Luis Gutierrez!
Gutierrez, a true Marxist revolutionary and a committed racist is celebrating the defeat and coup of the Republic. For that, I brand him a treasonous weasel. Is that constructive enough?
Cleveland City Councilmen And Bathroom Monitors Matt Zone And Joe Ciperman!!
The Independent Sentinel: My weasel of the week is the Cleveland City Council especially councilmen Matt Zone and Joe Cimperman who suggested we have to get used to people of any gender using any bathroom.
Businesses and individuals who voice concerns or express discomfort will be subject to a $1000 fine. This is to please the less than 1% of the population who call themselves transgender.
“This is common sense legislation, and it’s long overdue,” Zone asserted, noting that the ordinance does not mandate businesses to provide separate restroom or locker room facilities or signs warning unsuspecting visitors. “We’re in the 21st century, and it would allow Clevelanders to feel comfortable in their own environment and to use facilities that they’re most comfortable with.”
El Presidente Y Jefe Barack Hussein Obama!!
Rhymes With Right: Barack Hussein Obama, who by executive decree has declared the Constitution, and with it the principle of separation of powers, is null and void and that therefore all powers granted to Congress shall instead reside in the hands of the President in the event he does not approve of their decision not to pass laws that he demands be passed.
The P5+1 And Particularly Secretary Of State John Kerry!!
JoshuaPundit: For allowing Iran to play them for even more time in ‘negotiations’ while Iran gets closer to having a nuclear weapon. The latest deadline (giggle) ended November 24th, with the Iranians still refusing even basic concessions like reducing the number of centrifuges, changing their heavy water reactor at Arak to a light water one incapable of increasing plutonium, ceasing all ballistic missile activity or even disclosing info on their program, or even a reliable verification program.
Kerry’s reaction? After a year of sheer horse manure that has accomplished nothing except to dismantle the sanctions regime and give badly needed billions to this fascist regime, Kerry and the P5+1 are begging Iran to continue the talks for another 7 months, until July 2015. They’ve caved on everything. The weakness this projects to the Iranians can only be imagined and it’s weaselness that threatens both our country and the peace of the world.
Well, there it is! Are these worthy weasels or what? Check back Thursday to see which Weasel walks off with the statuette of shame!
Make sure to tune in every Monday for the Watcher’s Forum.
And remember, every Wednesday, the Council has its weekly contest with the members nominating two posts each, one written by themselves and one written by someone from outside the group for consideration by the whole Council. The votes are cast by the Council and the results are posted on Friday morning.
It’s a weekly magazine of some of the best stuff written in the blogosphere and you won’t want to miss it… or any of the other fantabulous Watcher’s Council content.

Mrs Omolewa Ahmed, Kwara Governor’s Wife and the National Orientation Agency (NOA) on Friday in Ilorin collaborated on health awareness campaign against cancer for ministries across the state.
In his opening address, Mr Lanre Bello, the Executive Director of the Life Empowers Anchors Hope (LEAH) foundation belonging to Ahmed, said the foundation also organized free cancer screening for 150 principals in NOA.
Bello said the foundation has been active in its campaign against breast and cervical cancer across the 16 local government area of the state.
According to him, since commencement of the campaign for the last five years, new cases were being encountered everyday.
He said it is possible to eradicate the disease through extensive campaign for both women and men to go for screening.
Earlier in his welcoming address, Mr Olusegun Adeyemi, Director of NOA commended LEAH foundation for the free breast and cervical cancer screening for principals of his agency.
He pointed out that the agency is saddled with responsibility of enlightening and sensitizing the citizenry on important issues affecting their live and vice-versa reporting back to the government.
Adeyemi told participants on the need for them to enlighten people outside to take action and go for screening, adding that cancer is a burden to the country’s development, the family and society as a whole.
Also in his lecture, Prof Adegboyega Fawole, Gynaecologist with the University of Ilorin Teaching Hospital (UITH) explained that in the World Health Organization report of year 2000, about 6.2 million people died of cancer.
The expert warned that by year 2020, there will be 10 million new cases of the disease which translates to 50 percent increase.
“Africa has the highest cancer cases in the world because people have no culture of check-up and screening for the disease.
“While this disease has reduced in the western world,” he said.
Fawole lamented that about 60 percent cancer cases only get reported in the hospital when it is already advanced and at stage three or four.
The Gynaecologist urge people to save their lives and their loved ones by going for screening, adding that there is also immunisation against cervical cancer.

school's out, work's done, and it's time to play. i'm loving the rain....lord knows california needs it.
I am still messing around w/ the blog and learning a few tricks about html on the way. i know i have a lot of blogs missing on the links section. i lost them all somehow, so i'll have to add them one by one if i can find/remember them all. but overall, i like what i have so far...it seems a lot less cluttered.
here are some pictures of some goodies my sister brought back with her from norcal a few months back...(which also shows you how far behind I am in some of my posts...)

I SAID, ahhhgawddddddddamnnnnnnnnnnn
Sorry everyone. I know that I've been neglecting the blog lately, but I'm still alive. Life has been quite busy, and this week is no exception w/ finals coming up. So here's a quickie on my past Thanksgiving.
I decided to step it up this year and attempt to make two pies, crust and all. Sprinkles and that cupcake craze? Nah kid. Pass me the pie son cuz I got five on it. Gimme a fatty slice, and you better make sure to put on some of that freshly made whipped cream too FOOL.
The first pie I chose to make was Uncle Richard's sweet potato pie, recipe courtesy of Homesick Texan's beautiful blog. I had actually made it the week before as a trial run and because I had never had a spp before. It turned out well, so for Thanksgiving, I decided to tweak the ratios of the ingredients. Baking that pie made me feel confident, but I got too big for my britches because I should have just left it as it was. The first pie wasn't too sweet, had a good sweet potato taste, and went well w/ whipped cream. But this pie oh deed on the spices and ended up tasting very close to pumpkin pie although you could tell that the texture and taste were slightly different. Lesson learned. Also, I don't know what I did wrong, but on both pies, there was a paper thin layer of some white froth after it was done baking (you can see it in this picture too). Any suggestions/ideas? Oh, and a holla to my sister who made the crust. It was a little bit too thick, but certainly better than the frozen stuff you can buy.
The second pie I made is a favorite of mine: banana cream pie. I got the recipe from my dad's manager, an excellent cook and baker from the east coast(she makes an apple pie for us every year, and i'd put my bollocks on the table to say that it is the best apple pie I've ever had).
The graham cracker crust was easy to make: crumbs, sugar, and butter. And yes, I am well aware that I could take a few classes on presentation, but I tried damnit! When I read the recipe, I was surprised that bananas didn't actually go into making the cream/pudding. I layered the bottom with bananas before I put on the pudding and found that the flavor had infused overnight. It was pretty fun making it, especially whisking the liquid and feeling sweet satisfaction as I felt it getting thicker. I had to skip the end part, which called for putting the pudding through a mesh sieve. I didn't have a clean one, so I didn't want to do it. Overall, I thought it tasted good, and next time, I will make a thicker crust because it came out a little too thin for my liking. I will also get some nilla wafers and put them on top too.
I'm out folks. Going up to SF once I finish my tests, so see ya in a few.

Sen. Mazie Hirono (D-Hawaii) was asked on Sunday if Democrats should be concerned about the abuse allegations made against one of their own — Rep. Keith Ellison (D-Minn.), who is now running for Minnesota Attorney General.
Ellison’s former girlfriend Karen Monahan has accused him of domestic abuse. Monahan said she has even released records from her therapist, to whom she explained her alleged suffering.
Hirono, a member of the Senate Judiciary Committee, has sided with Christine Blasey Ford, saying she believes Ford’s allegations against Judge Brett Kavanaugh, whom Hirono said she considers less than credible.
CNN’s Jake Tapper, host of CNN’s “State of the Union,” asked Hirono on Sunday: “Wouldn’t the concern about Kavanaugh and Professor Ford be more credible if Democrats were also condemning similar charges against Democrats in their midst, including Congressman Ellison?”
“I have been very clear that I make no excuses for anybody who engages in this kind of behavior,” Hirono responded. “And, as far as Keith Ellison, these allegations need to be investigated, and appropriate action taken.

Jasper police, school district, investigating list of 12 students
They're not calling it a "hit list", but Jasper police and the school district are investigating a list containing the first names of 12 students to determine if there was no intent to hurt anyone.
Someone found the list Friday in a second floor bathroom at the junior high school in Jasper.
The superintendent called Jasper police and he told KFDM News the district believes it knows which student wrote the list.
The superintendent said administrators don't believe there was any intent to hurt students.
The district will follow its code of conduct. And plans to discipline the student who wrote the names.
Monday the administration sent letters to parents explaining what happened.

AOC Gaming Q27G2S / EU: New gaming monitor
With the AOC Gaming Q27G2S/EU, is a new gaming monitor. It comes with a 27-inch IPS panel, 10-bit color depth, a refresh rate of 165 Hz and the "QHD resolution"
Photo Credits: aoc
AOC Gaming Q27G2S / EU is the name of the latest monitor from the Agon by AOC range. According to the manufacturer, it is aimed at gamers who are upgrading from Full HD but still want to achieve high frame rates. The 27-inch screen, therefore, does not deliver 4K, but the so-called "QHD resolution", i.e. 2,560 x 1,440 pixels. The IPS panel also offers a 10-bit color depth with 1.07 billion colors and a refresh rate - if connected via display port - of 165 Hz.
The manufacturer specifies the response time as 4 (GTG) or one (MPRT) milliseconds and the viewing angles as 178 degrees. While the brightness is 350 nits according to the product page, Agon by AOC states a dynamic contrast ratio of 80 million to 1. The static contrast ratio, on the other hand, is 1000: 1. The AOC Gaming Q27G2S / EU supports adaptive sync with a sync range of 48 to 165 Hz - G-Sync compatibility is also on board.AOC Gaming Q27G2S / EU: The gaming monitor costs around 360 euros
Users can tilt, swivel, and adjust the height of the AOC Gaming Q27G2S / EU. If you need more flexibility, you can also position the screen using a VESA bracket (100x100). There are two HDMI 2.0 ports and one Displayport 1.4 on the plus side. There is also a headphone output. The gaming features of the Q27G2S / EU include "Dial Point" (crosshair overlay), "AOC Game Color" (to increase/decrease the saturation), and a frame rate counter. On top of that, there is a low blue light mode for the nightly gaming session.
As the manufacturer reports, the recommended retail price for the Q27G2S / EU is 359 euros.

Popular food delivery service "Just Eat" offers now Bitcoin payment for his service.
Bitcoin, being a universal coin that is currently accepted by the vast majority of the global crypto population, its integration with Just Eat business will be a huge welcome.
Although having its business operations in greater Europe and other parts of the world, France is perhaps its testing ground before rolling out the service to other places. Besides, it has a huge customer base in France where cryptocurrency regulations are not against the move.
“Just Eat is a major player in the delivery of meals in France; this initiative could help to democratize the use of cryptocurrencies among the general public,” Gregory Raymond, writer for French publication Capital.fr
It is a good step. There are no fees added to Bitcoin payments. Read the full article here.

The population approach to falls injury prevention in older people: findings of a two community trial
1 Accident Research Centre, Monash University, Melbourne, Australia
2 Queensland University of Technology, Brisbane, Australia
3 North Coast Area Health Service, Lismore, Australia
4 Queensland Health, Brisbane, Australia
5 Injury Prevention and Control (Australia) Ltd, Brisbane, Australia

BMC Public Health 2010, 10:79 doi:10.1186/1471-2458-10-79Published: 19 February 2010
There is a sound rationale for the population-based approach to falls injury prevention but there is currently insufficient evidence to advise governments and communities on how they can use population-based strategies to achieve desired reductions in the burden of falls-related injury. The aim of the study was to quantify the effectiveness of a streamlined (and thus potentially sustainable and cost-effective), population-based, multi-factorial falls injury prevention program for people over 60 years of age.
Population-based falls-prevention interventions were conducted at two geographically-defined and separate Australian sites: Wide Bay, Queensland, and Northern Rivers, NSW. Changes in the prevalence of key risk factors and changes in rates of injury outcomes within each community were compared before and after program implementation and changes in rates of injury outcomes in each community were also compared with the rates in their respective States.
The interventions in neither community substantially decreased the rate of falls-related injury among people aged 60 years or older, although there was some evidence of reductions in occurrence of multiple falls reported by women. In addition, there was some indication of improvements in fall-related risk factors, but the magnitudes were generally modest.
The evidence suggests that low intensity population-based falls prevention programs may not be as effective as those that are intensively implemented.

The number of homes sold dipped by 8% last month to 46.
Rose Linda Gonzales, a Realtor with Dilbeck Real Estate in La Cañada Flintridge, said potential buyers are facing healthy competition in the market, sometimes from investors who are willing to make all-cash transactions.
She said some buyers, particularly first-timers, can get frustrated when they get knocked out of the purchasing game multiple times. However, she tells them that this is the time to make an investment for the future.
“The buyers are realizing they had better hop on it and buy something,” she said.
The key, Gonzales said, is that more homes are priced reasonably, compared to last year.
It's much of the same in Burbank, where demand also is far outstripping supply, Realtors report.
There were 119 single-family homes for sale last month compared to 202 in June 2011, according to statistics compiled to the Burbank Assn. of Realtors.
At the same time, the median price in Burbank jumped to $550,000 from $505,400 in June of last year. Likewise, the number of homes sold climbed to 49 last month.
There were 12 condominiums for sale last month, compared to 21 in June 2011. For the 11 that sold last month, the median price rose by almost 15% to $310,000.
Bank-owned homes made up about 33% of total sales of single-family homes and 36% of condominiums sold.
In Glendale, there was an even more drastic drop in available condos.
Fifty-three condos were on the market last month, an almost 58% drop from the 125 in June 2011.
The number of condos that did sell slid by two to 32, with the median price edging down to $282,000.

You can’t have a cartoonish attitude toward cartoons any more.
They still can be funny. For example, that’s the point of Rocket Monkeys, a new Canadian animated series that debuts Thursday, Jan. 10 on Teletoon.
But as was pointed out by well-known Canadian comedian Sean Cullen, who is the voice of Gus on Rocket Monkeys, cartoons have come a long way since he was a kid, both creatively and technologically.
“When they used to make Scooby-Doo in the ’70s, kids would see it once and then they’d never see it again,” Cullen recalled. “Now you get it on DVD and watch it 100 times in a row, so it has to be better quality.
“It can’t just be, ‘Oh, it’ll go by so quickly that no one will know that Scooby’s foot disappeared.’ I used to watch Rocket Robin Hood. Every once in a while, someone’s arm moves. It was very basic.
“I watched a lot of cartoons when I was a kid, but they were quite stilted, and stiff, and the stories were quite predictable. These days some of the best writing for comedy and for speculative fiction is in animation. Some of the people we work with on Rocket Monkeys are some of the most talented writers in Canada.”
Besides Cullen’s Gus, Rocket Monkeys also features voice work from Mark Edwards (Wally) and Mark McKinney (Lord Peel). The series follows the cosmic exploits of primate siblings Gus and Wally, who inexplicably have been charged with carrying out important missions in space.
Cullen’s real-life face can be seen regularly these days on Match Game, which airs on the Comedy Network. On that show, Cullen is one of six panelists. But Cullen’s character on Rocket Monkeys is the one in charge. Just ask him.
“Gus is kind of the boss, if there is a boss of either of them,” Cullen said. “He’s the more bossy, pushy one.
“He’s the hero, or he sees himself as the hero, telling everybody how to behave. I kind of model his voice on Charlton Heston. Everything is so dramatic.”
Of course, Charlton Heston had a love-hate relationship with apes. But that’s a much darker tale (not a much darker tail).
Rocket Monkeys is all about fun, and sometimes the best fun can be had by taking something seriously.
“I think humour has taken leaps and bounds in the last 20 years, and animation has benefited from that,” Cullen said. “You realize how much more sophisticated humour has become. For example, The Flintstones (which first aired in primetime in the early 1960s) was aimed at the same kind of audience that in recent years has watched The Simpsons.
“The fact is, when adults take an interest in animation, it becomes better. It’s not just something for your kids to watch and to take up their time.
“And also, people finally have clued in that there’s a lot of money to be made with programming for kids.”

Conditions of American intervention land operation of the 21st century in the reconnaissance aspect
The article presents technological conditions of changes in conducting future land operations in the American armed forces. After the dissolution of the Warsaw Pact and the fall of the Berlin Wall, the Europeans started to use fully the new peace. In the military aspect it meant armed forces reductions and limiting of the defence expenditures. Contrary to Europe, America followed a completely different route and continued the technological modification process of the armed forces. The disproportion in defence programmes funding lead to a technological gap between the United States forces and European armies. The new land operation concept of the US armed forces, apart from the technological advantage, assumes also a technological one. In the new war concept soldiers will be supported in attack by robots. Some new models of warrior robots have already been tested in Afghanistan. The Americans plan that in future, unmanned land vehicles will be able to deliver more reconnaissance information than current unmanned aerial reconnaissance vehicles commonly used in military operations nowadays. It is predicted that in the second decade of the 21st century a standard Future Combat System brigade will be ready to perform its tasks and it could be transported in C- 130 aircraft to any place in the world within 4 days in order to be deployed in a land intervention operation.

The Pittsburgh Steelers are back at Saint Vincent College for the first time since 2019, and fans have descended on Latrobe, PA in hopes of catching a glimpse of the 2022 team.
What went down during the latest training camp practice? That is where this article comes in. Check out all that was said, as well as photos and videos from the day’s workouts.
Here we go...
The Pittsburgh Steelers have a lot of questions marks across the roster, and it will take every practice and preseason game for the coaching staff to find a way to get answers to those questions. There were a lot of storylines to come out of Tuesday’s practice, and we highlight some of those below:
There are many who are concerned with Calvin Austin III and his injured foot. After seen sporting a boot the last few days, Austin was back on the practice field at least catching passes. A positive sign for the explosive rookie receiver.

Calvin Austin looks like he’s starting to work back. No boot on anymore. That’s a great sign. pic.twitter.com/sgGCmSUmXF— Nick Farabaugh (@FarabaughFB) August 16, 2022
Shades of The Program
Jaylen Warren was the lone player to fumble vs. the Seattle Seahawks Saturday night, and it looks as if the coaching staff took a page out of the 90s hit The Program and are making Warren tote a football around campus.

Devin Bush speaks, but maybe he shouldn’t
Devin Bush doesn’t speak to the media much, and there might be a reason why. It seems every time Bush is open he ends up saying something people deem to be controversial. Bush spoke about everything from his recovery from ACL surgery, to whether he thinks he’ll be with the Steelers after 2022.

Chase Claypool excited about the WR corps
Steelers fans haven’t seen much of Chase Claypool this training camp due to suffering two separate injuries. Nonetheless, Claypool is excited about this receiving corps, and had some interesting comments about his new teammate Gunner Olszewski.

“I figured if it’s a little white guy playing receiver, he’s got to be a pretty shifty guy.”
Players returning/still out
Here is a list of players who were back in uniform Tuesday, and also some who haven’t been back at practice yet.
Marcus Allen doing some work on the far field. Looks like he's getting close to a return.— Dale Lolley (@dlolley_pgh) August 16, 2022
Tentative injury report they I have:— Nick Farabaugh (@FarabaughFB) August 16, 2022
Snell, Green are back.
Adams, Allen, Austin; Watt, Highsmith are out.
No surprises from what I see. Team is getting healthier.
Miles Boykin is back at practice with the Steelers after missing a day with a rib injury.— Joe Rutter (@tribjoerutter) August 16, 2022
The Steelers offense finally won a 7 Shots drill, but it came with a caveat...meaning it wasn’t a live drill.
Mason Rudolph finds Tyler Vaughns on a stick route. Offense wins convincingly 5-2.— Nick Farabaugh (@FarabaughFB) August 16, 2022
Offense handily wins 7 shots, 5-2 or 6-1, depending on if Tomlin calls a false start against a tackle on one of Trubisky’s reps— Brooke Pryor (@bepryor) August 16, 2022
Trubisky: 2/3, plus a sneak
Pickett: 2/2 (Throws to McFarland and Connor Heyward)
DLine almost intact
For those fans who were upset about the Steelers’ run defense vs. Seattle, help is on the way. Almost the entire defensive line, outside of Alex Highsmith, were back at practice Tuesday, and they were dominating.
Steelers entire DL minus Highsmith working today in team run. Alualu, Ogunjobi, Heyward, Watt— Nick Farabaugh (@FarabaughFB) August 16, 2022
Larry Ogunjobi is destroying this drill. Two tackles. Steelers first team OL hasn’t gotten much push. This DL looks good.— Nick Farabaugh (@FarabaughFB) August 16, 2022
Big Press Update
There haven’t been a lot of updates about the specialists, especially second year punter Pressley Harvin III. The man labeled ‘Big Press’ by the writers/podcasters here at BTSC, has trimmed down this offseason, and it seems to have paid off. Harvin put on a show for the spectators at Saint Vincent Tuesday afternoon.
Pressley Harvin just BOOTED a ball to the moon. Went from the end zone to the opposing 25. What a punt.— Nick Farabaugh (@FarabaughFB) August 16, 2022
Pressley Harvin is putting on a show here. This is the best punting session I’ve seen from him in a Steelers uniform.— Nick Farabaugh (@FarabaughFB) August 16, 2022
Harvin has 3 kicks over 60 yards with great hang time in this session. Sheesh.— Nick Farabaugh (@FarabaughFB) August 16, 2022
Pressley Harvin is kicking the heck out of the ball today in this special teams period. He had one from the back of his own end zone that landed at the other 25 and then rolled into the opposite end zone. Ridiculous hang time on all of these kicks.— Dale Lolley (@dlolley_pgh) August 16, 2022
The crowd here clapping after that punting display. It was impressive.— Dale Lolley (@dlolley_pgh) August 16, 2022
Team Passing Drill
Some updates from the Steelers’ team passing drill Tuesday.
First two plays of the team pass period are 15+ yard throws to Diontae Johnson and Chase Claypool— Nick Farabaugh (@FarabaughFB) August 16, 2022
Kenny Pickett has worked with the 2nd team all practice. No flip flopping. Would guess he’s the 2nd QB against JAX on Saturday.— Nick Farabaugh (@FarabaughFB) August 16, 2022
Kenny Pickett was with the starters for the two-minute drill, and Mason Rudolph was with the backups. This is a sign of what to expect on Saturday night, Pickett running with the 2s, and here is how it went down:
Pickett on the field with the 1s for what looks like a two-minute drill.— Dale Lolley (@dlolley_pgh) August 16, 2022
Before folks read too much into that, Pickett has not passed Trubisky. This says that Pickett will play at the end of the first half in Jacksonville. I'm guessing Rudolph will take the next set of reps because he'll finish the game.— Dale Lolley (@dlolley_pgh) August 16, 2022

For more details on the itinerary, here’s the page with the details on where we stayed and what we covered each day.
My favorites from the trip are:
Besides night markets, we also went to various restaurants around the city to try out the dishes these places specialized in.
These are just a few spots that we got to while here..
Hot star fried chicken – Personally I thought it was okay but not a standout (still prefer KFC), but there are consistently long queues of both locals and tourists lining up to try this.. The chicken is huge and juicy and the skin is crunchy.. But what makes them different from other fried chicken is the flavor of their seasoning sprinkled outside the skin of the chicken.. And I appreciate that unlike other fast food shops, you see them cook it on the spot as you order… This is a well known street food in Taiwan, so have this as part of your must do when here!
Yong Kang beef noodle soup – Nothing weird or fancy, just simple comfort food that gives you a warm, fuzzy feeling of home cooking..
Din Tai fung – famous for their dumplings, particularly the dumplings with soup inside called Xiao long bao. Make sure to come here before lunch time if you want to avoid the long queues. Din Tai Fung is already available in other Asian countries, but of course we still had to try it out from the original country it came from..
Mango snow ice from Smoothie house.. I still say nothing compares to fresh mangoes from the Philippines, but the standout is the texture of the snow ice.. It’s not chunky and was smooth and melt in your mouth..
A photo log of all the random sights we saw around the city of Taipei..
Restaurant with snake meat in their dishes…
More than any tourist attraction, my favorite places to look for in a country is towns/villages or streets that preserve their old way of life or local culture..
While searching the internet for any such places in the city, I saw mention of Dihua street. It was exactly what I was hoping to see with all the old style buildings, signs and shops.
Similar to a lot of Asian countries, Buddhism is a major religion in Taiwan. As such there is a lot of temples scattered all over the city.
Since both me and my cousin have seen a lot of temples already from other countries, we didn’t really have seeing temples in our must do list.
But since this is one of the main touristy things to do while here in Taiwan, I picked one temple to go to for our itinerary… Longshan temple..
Honestly, if you have seen temples before, this won’t be very much different.. But if you haven’t travelled much around Asia before, the color and architecture of Buddhist temples is a worthwhile sight to see..
(Sept 15, 2015)
Besides food, we also covered some of the typical tourist spots here in Taipei.
One of them is Chiang Kai Shek memorial, a national monument in former memory of the former president of China.
Here’s pictures of our visit here
Taiwan is best known for street food.. and the best place to get that is in night markets!
Here’s a quick peek into the night markets we got to go to and the sights along the way..
Shilin night market
you can’t skip out on drinking milk tea when in Taiwan..
fried milk! I wasn’t sure if I would like this but I ended up buying more after 😀 😀
(Sept 14, 2015)
Because we’re a fan of all things cute, we went to the National Taiwan Science Education Centre for their temporary Moomin exhibit!
It’s just a small exhibit and easily done in less than 2 hours, but fun for photo ops !
(Sept 14, 2015)
Last year I wanted to fit in a short travel trip to an Asian country while I was visiting relatives in the Philippines. Taiwan is a good option since the travel time from Phlippines isn’t long, it’s not an expensive place to travel to, and 4 days was enough time to go around.
This time around the itinerary we had planned was mainly focused on food (which Taiwan is known for), with sightseeing (and maybe some shopping) in between.
First food place we went to was a seafood market/food hall called Aquatic Addiction Development. When my cousin first suggested it and I heard it was a seafood market, I was expecting a wet market with smelly seafood all around..
So I was surprised to find the market looking like a posh food hall..

RIDGEFIELD, Conn. -- Ridgefield Public Schools once again posted high scores on the state’s annual “report cards” -- with one school honored for distinction and another showing marked gains with high needs students.
But the state's results still show achievement gaps for students with disabilities in town in some of the town's schools.
The Connecticut State Department of Education (CSDE) released its annual Performance Reports for all public schools in the state Thursday afternoon. The reports take into account scores on standardized tests and high school graduation rates to grade each school’s performance.
“These reports demonstrate that there are bright spots and best practices as well as areas in need of review and improvement in districts and schools across the state,” Education Commissioner Stefan Pryor said in a press release.
The reports give each school a Student Performance Index (SPI), which ranges from 1 to 100. The reports also track student groups based on race, economic standing and special needs, and identify potential achievement gaps for schools and districts to correct. Each school and district is then given one of six classifications: Excelling, Progressing, Transitioning, Review, Focus, or Turnaround.
The state’s goal is for all schools to have an SPI of 88 or higher, but the annual reports assign each district a goal score that would mark an improvement over the previous year. The state’s report says that more than half the schools in the state reached their target scores for the 2012-13 school year.
Most Ridgefield schools were classified as “Progressing,” which means that SPI scores are over the state’s goal of 88. The schools were Ridgefield High and Barlow Mountain, Branchville, Farmingville, Ridgebury and Veterans Park Elementary.
Scotts Ridge Middle School, East Ridge Middle School and Scotland Elementary School were classified as “Excelling.”
East Ridge was also named a school of distinction for highest overall performance on the Connecticut Mastery Test.
Also, Veterans Park Elementary School was honored for meeting expectation and exiting the classification of "Focus" due to improvements in closing the achievement gap between students with high needs and their peers.
Veterans Park had been placed in that category using 2010-11 data that showed it had one of the lowest performing subgroups of high needs students in the state.
All Focus schools were required to design a plan to improve student outcomes. To exit Focus status, Veterans Park demonstrated two consecutive years of improvement in the high needs subgroup.
However, in the year's report, the district was still cited for high achievement gaps among students with disabilities and high needs compared with their peers in some schools.

Erich Martens To Be New Executive Director11/20/2017
The Minnesota State High School League’s Board of Directors on Monday approved a selection committee’s recommendation to hire Erich Martens as the seventh executive director in the 101-year history of the organization.
Martens, currently the principal at Sauk Rapids-Rice High School, was approved in a roll-call vote after a selection committee’s recommendation to the board of directors.
“The Minnesota State High School League is a very respected organization and provides outstanding opportunities for students in academics, arts, and athletics and I am thrilled to move into the executive director role and support students, coaches, athletic directors, and administrators as they continue to pursue their passions and learn through their participation,” Martens said.
Martens has served as the principal at Sauk Rapids-Rice High School since 2004. Previously, he was the principal at Sauk Centre High School from 1999-2004. He began his career in education in 1988 as a mathematics instructor and coach with positions at Sauk Rapids-Rice High School, Cosmos High School and Mitchell (S.D.) Middle School.
A graduate of St. John’s University in Collegeville, Minn., Martens has held numerous leadership roles, dating to 2005. He served as president of the MSHSL’s board of directors during the 2015-2016 school year and has had leadership roles with the Minnesota Association of Secondary School Principals.
“I am extremely proud of the work done by the selection committee,” said board of directors president Dave Swanberg. “The work was thorough, intentional and professional. Erich Martens was selected because of his growth mindset, calm demeanor and his ability to bring people together to work toward a common goal.”
Martens will take over for Dave Stead, the longest-serving executive director in MSHSL history. In August, Stead announced he will transition to a senior staff role. The start date for Martens is to be determined.
"I believe it is imperative that the League continue the traditions on which it has been built, and at the same time be intentional about innovation and creativity,” Martens said. “We need to continue to work with our member schools to provide great opportunities and look for ways to grow new programs and also increase the diversity of leadership within our organization to reach all schools and represent all students."
Committee Recommends Erich Martens as MSHSL Executive Director11/18/2017
After an extensive selection process, a selection committee has strongly recommended that Erich Martens be hired as the next MSHSL Executive Director. Longtime executive director Dave Stead has announced that he will transition to a senior staff role on Feb. 1. Martens, a former high school coach and MSHSL Board of Directors president, is the principal at Sauk Rapids-Rice High School.
The selection committee said in a statement: “Erich Martens’ credentials are impressive as his interviews. We strongly believe he is an excellent choice to lead the MSHSL. He has been offered the position of Executive Director subject to full Board of Directors approval, and he enthusiastically accepted the position.”
Martens was named Minnesota High School Principal of the Year in 2013 by the Minnesota Association of Secondary School Principals and was named Central Minnesota's Principal of the Year in 2012. Martens attended St. John's University and St. Cloud State University. He worked as a math teacher before becoming an administrator. He's been the principal at Sauk Rapids-Rice High School for more than a decade.
The Board of Directors will hold a Special Meeting at the MSHSL office in Brooklyn Center at 9 a.m. on Monday, November 20, 2017 to act on the recommendation of the Selection Committee to hire the next Executive Director of the MSHSL.

Cranberry Cherry Mint Sauce recipe (yields about 4 cups)
By Julie Sews - 10:35:00 AM
|image from Life's Ambrosia|
Tea can add a great uuummm.. what is that? quality to many other recipes I encourage you to experiment with it. It's also a great way to use the mint we grow every year. Before I made this with Aveda's tea which is really just peppermint and licorice tea. It is so good. So if you happen to have that anyways.... Most people don't though and it is quite expensive so I started subbing mint tea. I always make this a day or two ahead of thanksgiving so the flavors have time to develop in the fridge and so I don't have so much to do on Thanksgiving day.
- 1 cup honey
- 1 pound fresh organic cranberries, approximately 4 cups
- 1/2 lemon juiced
- 1 cup of mint tea brewed (peppermint or spearmint would be fine to sub)
- 1/4 cup of dried organic cherries
- 1/4 cup of organic frozen raspberries (defrosted)
Wash the cranberries and discard any soft or wrinkled ones. Brew 1 cup of mint tea.
Combine the honey and tea in a large saucepan and bring to a boil. Add the cranberries and raspberries return to a boil, then lower the heat so that the liquid simmers. Add the dried cherries and lemon juice, and cook for 10 to 15 minutes. Remove the pan from the heat and let the sauce cool.


Kelly Clarkson with Vince Gill — “Don’t Rush”
No longer content with slight traces of pedal steel and fiddle, country-leaning American Idols have taken to teaming up with traditionalists: Carrie Underwood with Randy Travis, Scotty McCreery and Josh Turner and, now, Kelly Clarkson and Vince Gill.
Credit goes to Clarkson for pairing up with one of the genre’s best, right on the heels of her last duet with one of its biggest. Gill is a country star of a different caliber than “Don’t You Wanna Stay” partner Jason Aldean – less buzzy, to be sure, but no less busy. Since his last Top 20 mainstream radio hit in 2002, Gill has flexed his creative muscles on three studio albums, include 2006’s 43-song These Days, and collaborated with a range of artists.
On “Don’t Rush,” Gill takes on a lesser role than Aldean’s standard partnership, combining his trademark harmonies with Clarkson’s famously powerful vocals. Both sound at ease as Clarkson plays with phrasing, polishing off lyrics like “Stopping every minute just because you’re in it/Wishing everyday was Sunday, you’re right next to me/It’s how it’s supposed to be/Just hanging on every touch” to a groovy, easy-listening rhythm reminiscent of Crystal Gayle. But just as “Don’t Rush” starts to shimmer, it fizzles.
Once the novelty runs out through the first chorus, the song fades off and into a more beige and less brazen version of James Otto’s “Just Got Started Lovin’ You.” It’s pretty but boring, perfect background music for a romantic comedy’s scenic introductory sweeps through New York City in the fall. Without Clarkson’s trademark bite from modern pop classics “Miss Independent” and “Since U Been Gone,” the song slips safely into neutral and coasts on Clarkson’s vocal chops.
As her second solo offering to country music, listening to “Don’t Rush” should do little to soothe naysayers still bewildered by Clarkson’s surprising Country Music Association nomination for female vocalist – but they’ll probably forget about it shortly after, anyway.

Pàgina 289 - For at the window of my house I looked through my casement, and beheld among the simple ones, I discerned among the youths, a young man void of understanding, passing through the street near her corner ; and he went the way to her house, in the twilight, in the evening, in the black and dark night: and, behold, there met him a woman with the attire of an harlot, and subtil of heart.

Democratizing Global Media explores the complex relationship between globalizing media and the spread of democracy around the world. An international, interdisciplinary group of journalists and scholars discusses key and often contentious issues such as the power of media, the benefits of media globalization, and the political role of media. More than a critique, Democratizing Global Media offers positive alternatives, from peace journalism to popular movements toward democratizing media and public communication.
A substantial introductory chapter gives a landmark review of the state of the international communication field, discusses· the "democratic deficits" of media in major regions (China, India, United States, Eastern Europe, Africa, Latin America), explores the interaction among media, politics, and culture in sites of global contestation (Israel, Iraq, 'transition' societies, global policy institutions), and examines emerging civil society movements to democratize media globally.

This was an amazing encounter for me and my friends during our dives in Sipadan Island, Malaysia. Our Dive guide called out to us when he first saw the Female Shark, thinking it was dead as it was lying upside down with her white belly exposed and not moving like she was in a state of tonic immobility (http://simple.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tonic_i...). The Male Shark was not seen right away even though he was biting the tail of the Female, as it was upright, their brown body with black spots was good camouflage among the coral rubbles. Then, the Male makes nibbling sort of bites on the tail of the Female and she started to move. The Male Shark did not let go of his bite at all throughout the whole encounter. I spent nearly 5 minutes observing them as they swam away and actually 'fall' down the wall. Fortunately, there was a ledge at around 45 meters and I was able to stay a while more to enjoy this encounter :) There can be some confusion with the name of this specie as the official name is Zebra Shark but they look more like a Leopard with the brown body and spots on their body. However, this confusion is due to the Juvenile phase of the specie, where they will look more like a Zebra with black stripes instead of spots. The zebra shark (Stegostoma fasciatum) is a species of carpet shark and the sole member of the family Stegostomatidae. It is found throughout the tropical Indo-Pacific, frequenting coral reefs and sandy flats to a depth of 62 m (210 ft). Adult zebra sharks are distinctive in appearance, with five longitudinal ridges on a cylindrical body, a low caudal fin comprising nearly half the total length, and a pattern of dark spots on a pale background. Young zebra sharks under 50–90 cm (20–35 in) long have a completely different pattern, consisting of light vertical stripes on a brown background, and lack the ridges. This species attains a length of 2.5 m (8.2 ft). Zebra sharks are nocturnal and spend most of the day resting motionless on the sea floor. At night, they actively hunt for molluscs, crustaceans, small bony fishes, and possibly sea snakes inside holes and crevices in the reef. Though solitary for most of the year, they form large seasonal aggregations. The zebra shark is oviparous: females produce several dozen large egg capsules, which they anchor to underwater structures via adhesive tendrils. Innocuous to humans and hardy in captivity, zebra sharks are popular subjects of ecotourism dives and public aquaria. The World Conservation Union has assessed this species as Vulnerable worldwide, as it is taken by commercial fisheries across most of its range (except off Australia) for meat, fins, and liver oil. There is evidence that its numbers are dwindling.
The zebra shark occurs in the tropical waters of the Indo-Pacific region, from South Africa to the Red Sea and the Persian Gulf (including Madagascar and the Maldives), to India and Southeast Asia (including Indonesia, Malaysia, the Philippines, and Palau), northward to Taiwan and Japan, eastward to New Caledonia and Tonga, and southward to northern Australia. Bottom-dwelling in nature, the zebra shark is found from the intertidal zone to a depth of 62 m (210 ft) over the continental and insular shelves. Adults and large juveniles frequent coral reefs, rubble, and sandy areas. There are unsubstantiated reports of this species from fresh water in the Philippines. Zebra sharks sometimes cross oceanic waters to reach isolated seamounts. Movements of up to 140 km (87 mi) have been recorded for individual sharks. However, genetic data indicates that there is little exchange between populations of zebra sharks, even if their ranges are contiguous
The location of this Spotting shows it is in Indonesia but it should be in Malaysia Pic#1, #3 & #4 shows the Male Shark biting the tail of the Female Shark Pic#2 shows the Female resting on the bottom as the Male Shark still clings on to her tail. The video shows when we newly saw the pair of Sharks.

Yes, @Desmond, this was an awesome encounter with the Leopard Sharks :)
The tail biting is part of the courting ritual before the act of mating.
You are welcome, @andrew.
Hope you get to see them in one of your dives in the near future :)
Thanks Albert for the information. Amazing video and amazing spotting!
@andrew - I think the tail biting by the Male puts the Female into a trance, like tonic immobility. You can see in the video, at times, she is like motionless.
Why do you think that the male was bitting the tail of the female?
