Since its initial publication, Beyond Basic Dog Training has achieved well deserved recognition as an innovative, unique guide to obedience instruction. Obedience authority Diane Bauman's proven training philosophy asserts that the time has come to go beyond training dogs and start teaching them to please us. This has made a vital difference for those who use her method-and for dogs taught by it to succeed in competitive canine sports.
In this new, updated edition, Bauman presents the most current knowledge on canine learning patterns. Believing that dogs learn by trial and error, Bauman provides a novel approach that encourages dogs to learn by removing corrections for incorrect responses. As a result, dogs do not fear failure and are taught to exercise options in a quest for the desired behavior.
Bauman shows you how to become a "thinking handler" who can train the "thinking dog." Her remarkable ability to view training from the dog's perspective translates into an invaluable tool for building effective communication between you and your dog.
The instruction in this authoritative guide is behind Gaines "Superdogs," numerous obedience trial champions, and a host of other canine successes. If you want your dog to be happy, confident stimulated, and secure in the obedience ring, Beyond Basic Dog Training is the book of choice.

As a lifelong rule follower, this represents a BIG departure for me. Although this book is volume 3 in a series of novels by Laila Ibrahim — I started with this one. And enjoyed it, without feeling I was missing much. Awarded four stars on Goodreads.
It’s a novel with many layers, about the confluence of civil rights and women’s rights. At the center is the complex relationships among a group of women, about thirty years (1894) after the end of the American Civil War. Some are white, some are black. A few are former slaves.
Mattie, her daughter Jordan, and Jordan’s daughter Naomi help to tell the story of Black Americans at this period. Having left a plantation, moved to Virginia, then Chicago and later to Oakland — their story is one of nascent freedom — with the external world still limiting their choices and threatening their safety on a daily basis. At the novel’s beginning, Mattie is ill and approaching death.
Lisbeth and her daughter Sadie are white, though that does not guarantee happiness. Sadie is married to an affluent German immigrant with a controlling nature and is dealing with a history of failed pregnancies.
It’s the interweaving of all these stories that Ibrahim does so skillfully. All the relationships are multi-dimensional — full of love and loyalty, resentment and envy, dependence and ignorance. Yet these women wind up forming their own kind of family, across racial lines. One where they support one another during intense challenges.
There are a few historical figures and events that are part of the narrative — Sojourner Truth, Frederick Douglass, Susan B. Anthony, and the Pullman train strike. And many of the women in the story become deeply involved in the struggle to give women the vote. We, of course, know that winning this fight is still a generation away.
I found this a decidedly feminist book. Not so much because of the suffrage movement — but because, at its heart, it’s about the strength women have when they unite with and support one another. Yes, there are some male characters. But while we learn about additional dimensions of of a racially-divided society from them, they feel much less central.
My primary criticism of the book came near the end, where there are some “speeches” made by several of the main characters (both black and white), It felt to me like these characters I had come to know and love were suddenly standing on soap boxes in a public park pontificating. It felt clunky and obvious, like the author needed to be sure we got her points and just didn’t feel like it was true to the characters.
Overall, what you get from the novel is a sense of what the racial reality was at the end of the 19th century in the United States: how much (or how little) Black Americans had achieved with emancipation, how and where they were “allowed” to live and work, and the many ways in which white Americans continued to use their power to enforce segregation.
My recommendation would be to read the entire series. But unlike me, start from the beginning. I will probably go back to Ibrahim’s earlier books in this series, to learn more about this interesting and rich collection of characters.

China wants to send 60 Jilin-1 video satellites by 2020, according to Chang Guang Satellite Technology Co. Ltd., the developer of Jilin-1 satellites. The company revealed the information at an ongoing legislative session of northeast China’s Jilin Province, according to the Xinhua News.
So far, China has sent 10 Jilin-1 satellites into space. In October 2015, Chinese space agency sent four Jilin-1 satellites into space using a Long March 2D rocket. The 450 kg Jilin-1A satellite is capable of still imaging at a ground resolution of 72 cm.
In January 2017, Jilin-1 Video 03 was sent into space through the inaugural Kuaizhou-1A mission. In November 2017, three Jilin-1 Video satellites (Jilin-1 Video 04, 05 and 06) were put into orbit using Long March 6 rocket.
On January 19, 2018, Jilin-1 Video 07 and 08 were also launched by the Chinese space agency. These satellites will send remote sensing and Earth observation data to government agencies as well as to the commercial market, with application in areas such as resource exploration, forecasting and mitigation of natural disasters, and monitoring tasks.
— China Xinhua News (@XHNews) January 19, 2018
The January 2018 launch was conducted from the Jiuquan Satellite Launch Center in northwest China. A Long March-11 rocket carried these satellites into space and put them in designated orbits. This was the 100th aerospace launch mission by the Jiuquan launch center and the 264th mission of the Long March rocket series.
Jilin-1 is a high-resolution optical remote sensing satellite developed for commercial use. The funding for this project has been provided by the Jilin province with an aim to accelerate a local satellite production capability. The project is supported by The China Academy of Sciences, the Harbin Institute of Technology and different contractors delivering satellite components for the project. The aim is to establish an Earth observation system using satellites with high-resolution still- and video-imaging capabilities.
With eight video satellites in orbit, Jilin-1 is already halfway to its initial goal of a 16-satellite constellation in space. The agencies are planning to complete expansion to 16 constellation members by 2019.

China escalated its campaign against Taiwan yesterday by offering rewards of more than $2 million in gold to Nationalist chinese air force and navl officers who defect to the Communist mainland.
It was the first time in 14 years that Peking had made such an offer, indicating the new vigor and variety of its psychological war against the Nationalists and its willingness to use even methods with capitalist overtones.
Peking provided a list of rewards for equipment defecting officers might bring from Taiwan, ranging from about $2 million for a U.S. made F5E fighter to $5.7 million for a navy destroyer. The appeal came three days before the convening of China's fifth National People's Congress, which is expected to endorse a noholds bared campaign to win over taiwanese and perhaps establish a cabinet-level department of overseas Chinese affairs to oversee the effort.
The Ta Kung Pao, a pro-Peking Chinese-language newspaper here, carried the offers of bounties to Taiwan pilots and navy officers on its front page. The story by the China News Agency, a Communist news service that seems especially aimed at overseas Chinese, said the offer came in a circular from the Chinese army command in Fukien, the strategic province just across the straits from Taiwan.
"It is a patriotic and righteous act for Chiang's military officers to revolt," said the announcement, referring to Taiwan Premier Ching Chingkuo. "The people's government will give them useful work, and take care of them and their property . . . if two or more come in the same plane they will receive extra rewards apart from those stated."
Analysts here said available records indicate that no defecting Nationalist pilots have flown across the straits since the early 1960s, when Peking ended its broadcasts advertising an earlier reward program. One pilot in the Nationalist air force who flew to the mainland in 1963, Hsu Ting-che, has since won several promotions in the Communist air force and was mentioned prominently in a TaKung Pao commentary that accompanied yesterdayhs article.
In 1974, the official New China News Agency reported that a Nationalist naval officer defected to the mainland in a rubber raft, bringing with him a heaby machine gun, two pistols and a radio transmitter. tr for ad one
Analysts here said the new reward offers seem principally motivated by Peking's decision to step up the propaganda war against Taiwan. Peking recently vowed to change its often suspicious attitude toward the 40 million Chinese who live outside the mainland and warmly welcome any who choose to move back to China.
But a Ta Kung Pao columnist also suggested yesterday that the rewards signal Peking's new, casual attitude toward using cash incentives to get results in their socialist society. The late chairman Mao Tse-tung often frowned on such rewards. At the moment there are few luxury items for anyone blessed with new wealth to buy on the mainland.
"It would be nice if they'd give you an exit permit along with the gold so you could come to Hong Kong and spend it," said one Western analyst.
The mainland rewards seem to dopy an inducement campaign for defectors that Taiwan has been advertising for years. Last summer the Nationalists scored a major propaganda victory when Chinese air force pilot Fan Yuan-yen flew his MIG19 to Taiwan and received $800,000 in gold as a reward. He was the fifth communist pilot to defect across the 90-mile-wide strait. His arrival brought favorable headlines for Taiwan around the world at a time when the Nationalists' diplomatic fortunes had sunk to a new low
In an interview in October, Fan said he tried to refuse the reward or give it to charity, to prove that he defected because of communist oppression and not because of the money. But he said the Nationalist government insisted he keep it to encourage other mainland pilots and forestall any suggestions that he had been forced to give it up.
Peking on the other hand, publicly praised Hsu for turning back much of the reward he was paid for his defection in 1963.
Yesterday's Fukien announcement gave detailed advice on compass bearings to reach Mainland airfields.
"If you fly in during daylight, please wag your wings as you pass the coast. Cut your speed and lower pour landing gear and you will be guaranteed safe landing," the announcement said.
A dispatch from New China News Agency, released yesterday as an apparent park of the same anti-Taiwan campaign, jeered at the Nationalists for their growing diplomatic isolation.
"Still more dismaying to the Chiang gang is that in 1977 more influential American personages openly advocated severance of diplomatic relations," the agency said.

Smok Novo 2 – The Best Vaping Product to Date
The Smok Novo 2 is a great new vaporizer from Vaporesso. This makes it a great value for the price. The first version of the vaporizer was a huge flop. The reason being that it just couldn’t keep your vapor quality on track. It was all over the place. Vaporesso has really gotten it right this time with the Smok Novo 2.
The biggest change from the very first variation to the second is the large upgrade in battery power, going from the old 450 as to the brand new 800 mah. Double typically the battery power means twice the performance. Increased air-intake capacity does mean more vapour production from your own device. And, of course, the standard charging methods with regard to the novo a couple of pod system allow for fast getting times.
But, it’s not just the upgraded efficiency that really impresses the user. The biggest change is in the form of the pods themselves. Instead of being like the older ones where they will had to be replaced frequently, the particular new ones have a much extended lifespan. There is no need to be able to go through the trouble of constantly changing a dry pod and then waiting for the replacement to be able to arrive. The fresh Smok Novo a couple of pods last up to two days between replacements.
The upgraded design also comes with a nothing else upgrades as well. The exterior shell regarding the device will be a lot thicker compared to the older models and it also does have a little bit more drag. This makes for the better clean since the excess move helps to pull the e-liquid into the coils. That procedure can take longer if the novo two is full of e-liquid. Thus, those looking for an easy to be able to use camera might want to consider the upgrade here.
Beyond that, the novo 2 has outstanding battery life. I have had a number of slow chargers, but with the opportunity to swiftly charge into a full charge, I’ve in no way needed to change them. The high wattage battery enables for plenty of everyday charging and also a super fast battery-life for someone of which might run out regarding juice while actively playing their favorite movie. That should provide you plenty of options when playing upon the go.
There are several pod choices with the Smok Novo 2. Smok offers both air and water holding chamber devices. You may get the best of both sides by combining your own camera with the best of JUUL Pods the two worlds with the particular air chamber edition. Smok uses the patented design of which allows for optimal performance and longevity of your device and then boosts it using the normal water chamber. The result is the very efficient nova chip that offers you with the particular highest quality vapour experience.
Smok also offers two different varieties of battery alternatives. The first is their standard acer battery. The second is their own new microprocessor controlled acer battery which can also be pre-installed in typically the Smok Novo 2 kit. I discover the new sort to be the bit more reliable and longer enduring however the price level may be a bit higher for the ease of getting the novo pod version with the particular kit. It’s simply a personal preference and something which could not work with regard to you. In either case the particular Smok Novo 2 is a great little kit in order to have to your electronic devices.
Overall the Smok Novo 2 is a good electronic device that will will offer you several hours of great electric vapor experience. If you are after a very portable little vaporizer that furthermore performs well and it is very reliable. You might want to consider the Smok Novo 2 vaporizer/cooktop combination. You’ll find that it heats upward fast and you can cook almost any food that you would like to cook.

Going Coastal is a collection of short stories set in Lake Superior’s three surrounding states, about the unique people who inhabit this region.
Contributing authors include Theresa Allison-Price, James Brakken, Judy Budreau, Eric Chandler, Phil Fitzpatrick, Maxwell Reagan, Evan Sasman, Johnna Suihkonen, and Marie Zhuikov.
Zhuikov spearheaded the project by organizing a contest in 2016. “I was talking to the former manager of the Bookstore at Fitger's, and she said a lot of people, especially tourists, used to come in looking for Lake Superior short stories.”
Internet research turned up a smattering of short stories about the North Shore. “Obviously, a group of Lake Superior writers should do a thing like that. At the time, I was helping to organize a contest. Why don’t we do a contest like that and focus in on Lake Superior, then try to get the stories published?”
The Lake Superior Writers Group tapped their pool of established writers, plus a few new ones, to take up the challenge of writing the best short stories.
“The Urge for Going” by Phil Fitzpatrick (a former writer for this newspaper, who authored the About Town column in 2015-16) follows Cisco Two Feathers as he drives home from a decades-long sojourn in St. Paul, where he shared his Native American heritage. Two Feathers closed out that part of his life and decided to leave that world behind. Time and location are woven into the narrative as his life is explored through flashbacks. The fun is getting there; once Two Feathers gets home, the curtain closes. Is there any hope of his adventures being expanded into a novel?
In “The Painting,” Evan Sasman has his portrait done by the “Popcorn Lady” of Ashland, Wisconsin, while she tells childhood stories of growing up on an Indian Reservation along the South Shore of Lake Superior and Michigan’s Upper Peninsula. “The Painting” highlights the clash between modern life and ancient traditions. I felt like I was there.
“Water Witch” is the aqueous antagonist who slides through the story by Marie Zhuikov. Zhuikov weaves key moments of the title character’s life with a watery entity that skillfully remains in the shadows. The imagery is just right. Zhuivhev tells a good story without a lot of visible craft or too much explanation.
“I watched hues of green streak my window like rain on a spring morning,” and other vivid images paint the canvas of “What a Fire Weighs” by Johnna Suihkonen. This brief entry is mysticism at its finest. Suihkoven makes every word count, with analogy that adds to the collective stew.
“On My Head” is Theresa Allison-Price’s first published literary work. She takes the bold step of making Lake Superior a living, thinking character in order to explore the question: What does the lake think of those who visit her?
Maxwell Reagan also debuts his publishing career with “The Lake Effect,” a swashbuckling story of survival on Lake Superior that offsets the intellectual journeys offered elsewhere in the book.
Eric Chandler’s “The Heart that Lies Under the Lake” describes a catastrophic event in Two Harbor’s past, delving into the physics of the lake’s seiche activity, a phenomenon that occurs in any enclosed body of water when water builds up on one side and depresses on the other, causing it to slosh back and forth. Chandler’s scientific narrative skirts away from being dry by tying it to an unsuspecting group of people nestled near the pier, awaiting their fate.
In James Brakken’s “The Light,” a walk on Madeline Island goes off the path and stays there...or does it? Any more would give it away, but the hook transports you to Lake Superior as night encroaches. It’s an example of the brevity of the form at its best.
Chemistry runs through the veins of “Superior Mordant” by Judy Budreau. The main character, Grams, has a unique hobby that is leading to her demise. Told in flashbacks that allude to her impending endgame, it veers into a twist, just like in real life. Budreau’s style leaves enough density for a reread to catch the bits you missed the first time through.
Two Harbors photographer Christian Dalbec provided the cover art for Going Coastal—a piece of stop-action artistry that graces the book with a classic look and the perfect invite to sample what lies within.

Many health insurers have been establishing themselves as nonprofit companies since the Depression era, but they may have to make some changes if they hope to continue competing in the current health insurance market, reported Marketplace.
"They've never been that kind of warm and friendly, small mutual-type health insurance," Tom Baker of the University of Pennsylvania Law School told Marketplace. "They were set up as nonprofits as a way of justifying their monopoly power, making doctors more comfortable with the idea that they might be deciding whether to pay for things or not."
Now, nonprofit insurers are under increased scrutiny. Blue Shield of California recently lost its tax-exempt status because its operations weren't exclusively for civic betterment or social welfare. State auditors also pointed to the fact that the insurer boasts more than $4 billion in "extraordinarily high" surpluses, FierceHealthPayer previously reported.
But some industry experts aren't critical of their decision to stash money. In fact, Jill Horwitz at UCLA School of Law doesn't think nonprofits like Blue Shield of California that are holding onto cash for business reasons are necessarily violating their nonprofit mission.
"I would have been more concerned if we saw a lot of spending on atriums and big bonuses and offices and things like that," she said. "But what we're seeing is cash in the bank being held, and that doesn't strike me, on its face, as such a bad thing."
And given the consolidation trend among big insurers, including the recent Aetna-Humana deal, nonprofit insurers may have to consider mergers and acquisitions to stay competitive.
They could need the M&As to expand their business lines to compete for more contracts with providers and streamline operations, Steve Zaharuk, senior vice president at Moody's Investors Service, told Marketplace.
Perhaps that's one reason why Blue Shield of California is acquiring Monterey Park-based nonprofit insurer Care1st.

Raegan Lindsey had 10 digs and 5 assists
Oct. 12, 2013
Northern Arizona dropped the first set and trailed 24-22 in the second, but the Lumberjacks rallied and then cruised to a 23-25, 26-24, 25-17, 25-17 victory over Montana Saturday night at the West Auxiliary Gym in Missoula.
Northern Arizona (12-5, 6-2 BSC) hit .313 and out-blocked the Big Sky Conference's top blocking team to pick up its first league road win of the season and remain in a three-way tie for second in the Big Sky behind unbeaten North Dakota.
Montana (7-10, 4-4 BSC) could have pulled within a game of second place with a win, but the Grizzlies hit just .126 in the final three sets after using some clutch blocking to pull out a tight win in the opener.
With the first set tied 21-21, senior Brooke Bray and junior Kelsey Schile teamed up to block NAU's Janae Vander Ploeg. One point later, Bray and senior Kortney James did the same thing to Vander Ploeg, and Montana went on to a two-point victory.
In the second set Northern Arizona used the block to come back from a 24-22 deficit.
Facing two set points, the Lumberjacks blocked senior Kayla Reno to pull within 24-23, then blocked redshirt junior Natalie Jones to draw even. After a Montana timeout, NAU put down back-to-back kills to stun the home crowd, not to mention the home team.
"I think it was obvious that wasn't the end we had in mind for that set," UM coach Jerry Wagner said. "Certainly you can point to that as not instilling as much confidence going forward as it could have.
"We only passed well enough during that sequence to create one legitimate opportunity to put the set away."
Northern Arizona, which hit .387 in the third and fourth sets, used unanswered runs to pull away in both of its one-sided wins. Montana led 10-6 in the fourth set, but the Lumberjacks scored eight of the next nine points to take control.
NAU finished with a 14-8 blocking advantage, and when the Lumberjacks weren't blocking, they were digging the Grizzlies. Northern Arizona had 21 more digs in the match than Montana.
"They kept themselves around with some timely blocking and some very good defense," Wagner said. "Then the difference in the third and fourth sets was that they controlled the ball better than we did in our own house.
"That was the final straw. It was going to be a tight match all night if our level of ball-handling was better than a visiting team, but it didn't turn out to be that way."
Sydney Kemper had 19 kills on .361 hitting and six blocks to lead Northern Arizona. Schile had 13 kills on .290 hitting and Bray added five blocks and a career-high three service aces for Montana.
The loss negated what was one of Montana's best serving matches of the season. The Grizzlies had a season-high eight service aces. Senior Megan Murphey matched Bray with three.
Montana will face a pair of important matches upcoming. The Grizzlies will travel to California and take on Sacramento State (9-10, 4-4 BSC) next Friday night. The two teams are currently tied for fifth in the Big Sky standings.
A week from Monday Montana will close out the first half of its league schedule with a home match against a resurgent Montana State (5-14, 3-5 BSC) team. The Bobcats, who beat NAU in five sets on Friday, won their third straight Big Sky match Saturday night with a 3-1 victory over Southern Utah.

Home price growth is decelerating nationwide, but of course housing is a regional story.
And in Southern California, the market is still exploding.
In L.A., June prices were up 2.3% MOM and 19.9% YOY ; San Diego, 2.8% and 19.3% respectively.
In his latest video blog, San Diego-area real estate guru Jim Klinge, aka "Jim the Realtor," tours a 1,800-sq-.ft. home in Rancho Santa Fe that in March was bought for $745,000 but whose owners are now trying to sell it for $1.24 million — a 66% increase.
The home next door sold for $875,000 last October.
That should be setting off huge alarm bells, he says:
Buyers are paying crazy prices. We have become detached from the comps — logic, reasoning, all the ways we used to spend a lot of brain power on figuring out the right price, it just doesn't do you any good. In fact, it's a detriment to be too smart and try to be a buyer in this market — it's the least informed buyers making the market, just paying whatever it takes. I know it's always been like that, but it's a lot worse than it's ever been.

Nevertheless, a noticable difference in Graves’ disease could be anticipated in the next fifty percent of gestation because of the dropping titre of thyroid-stimulating antibodies and perhaps the current presence of thyroid receptor-blocking antibodies . also needs to be advised from the need for thyroid monitoring in the post-partum period. solid class=”kwd-title” KEY TERM: Being pregnant, Graves’ disease, Counselling, Pre-conception, Lactation, Iodine, Thionamides, Radioiodine, Medical procedures Launch Maternal hyperthyroidism is normally reported that occurs at a regularity of around 0.2% . That is to become contrasted using the prevalence of antithyroid peroxidase antibodies which take place in 10% of females when assessed at around 12 weeks of gestation. On the other hand, TSH receptor antibodies possess a prevalence of around 0.01%, but neonatal hyperthyroidism occurs in 30% of TSH receptor antibody-positive women . Span of Graves’ Disease during Being pregnant Deterioration in the scientific top features of Graves’ disease in the initial trimester of being pregnant may occur because of stimulation from the thyroid both by Naringin Dihydrochalcone (Naringin DC) individual chorionic gonadotropin and thyrotropin receptor-stimulating antibodies [3,4,5]. The markedly elevated thyroid hormone-binding capability from the serum (because of Naringin Dihydrochalcone (Naringin DC) high thyroxine-binding globulin) could also donate to the deterioration . Nevertheless, a noticable difference in Graves’ disease could be anticipated in the next fifty percent of gestation because of the Naringin Dihydrochalcone (Naringin DC) dropping titre of thyroid-stimulating antibodies and perhaps the current presence of thyroid receptor-blocking antibodies . As a result, although RGS5 hyperthyroidism is normally uncommon in being pregnant fairly, its results may be substantial . Which means that thyroid function ought to be controlled not merely in the pregnant girl with Graves’ hyperthyroidism but also in her fetus. Elements Affecting Being pregnant in Graves’ Disease Dangers and Complications The potential risks of neglected or badly treated Graves’ hyperthyroidism in being pregnant may be observed in the mom as well as the fetus [8,9]. Maternal dangers include increased occurrence of miscarriage, placental and pre-term delivery abruption. Moreover, neglected disease may be connected with congestive center failing, the increased incidence of pre-eclampsia and even thyroid storm. Fetal risks of poorly treated Graves’ disease include fetal hyperthyroidism as well as neonatal hyperthyroidism. Important complications also include prematurity, intrauterine growth retardation and fetal death or stillbirth. There is also an increased incidence of fetal abnormalities. The risks of Graves’ hyperthyroidism in pregnancy are further illustrated in table ?table1,1, where it is seen that this untreated or inadequately treated disease leads to complications in the mother, complications in pregnancy and fetal and neonatal adverse effects. Even if the mother is usually on antithyroid drugs, the fetus may develop hypothyroidism or goitre and the neonate may have transient hyperthyroidism. If the mother has previously been treated with surgery and is on levothyroxine therapy, she may develop hypothyroidism and both the fetus and neonate are at risk of hyperthyroidism due to the continuing presence of thyrotropin receptor-stimulating antibodies. A similar situation occurs if the mother had previously received radioiodine and is also on levothyroxine therapy. If the mother has had previous treatment with antithyroid drugs she may be at risk of relapse.

Adapted from Laurberg et al. . Iodine Requirements In the case of all pregnant women, with or without thyroid disease, it should be remembered that this recommended iodine intake during pregnancy and lactation should be 250 g/day (table ?(table2),2), which corresponds to a urinary iodine concentration of approximately 150 g/l . Although there has been a significant increase in the use of universal salt iodisation in the last 20 years, some countries, including for example the United Kingdom , are still iodine-deficient.

Mice injected with ~8?MBq of 177Lu-m11B6 showed a tumor accumulation of 22??4.2 %IA/g at 72?h ( em n /em ?=?3) and 30??8.2 %IA/g at 168?h ( em n /em ?=?3) (Fig.?2b). Distribution of 177Lu-m11B6 in LNCaP, DU 145, and pre-dosed LNCaP xenografts showed that uptake was significantly higher in LNCaP than in the control groups, with em P /em ?=?0.003 for DU 145 (4.9??1.6 %IA/g at 72?h) and with em P /em ?=?0.008 for pre-dosed LNCaP xenografts (8.3??1.9 %IA/g, 72?h) (Fig.?2c). This indicates that there is a specific uptake of our labeled radioimmunoconjugate in the non-pre-dosed LNCaP xenografts. There is also a high uptake in the submandibular glands that is not significantly reduced by pre-dosing (Fig.?2c). Dosimetry In Table?1, the calculated absorbed dose per activity unit (Gy/MBq) for 177Lu is displayed based on both the biokinetics of 111In-m11B6 and of 177Lu-m11B6. It was first assumed that an administrated activity of 20? MBq of 177Lu-m11B6 would approximately correspond to the absorbed dose of 12?Gy to the d-Atabrine dihydrochloride bone marrow in mice carrying LNCaP xenografts. This gives an absorbed dose to the tumor of 98?Gy. However, the dosimetric calculations, based on both 111In- and 177Lu-m11B6 biokinetics, showed that an administrated activity of approximately 27?MBq, would correspond to 12?Gy to the d-Atabrine dihydrochloride bone marrow and give an absorbed dose to the tumor of 132?Gy, based on 177Lu-m11B6 biokinetics. This shows that the use of pre-therapy planning calculating the absorbed dose d-Atabrine dihydrochloride for determining the activity to be administered can be useful. However, the assumption that 111In-m11B6 and 177Lu-m11B6 exhibit similar biokinetics appears justified only at the early time points, and at 1?week post-injection, 177Lu-m11B6 displays a different curve shape for LNCaP xenograft uptake with a later and higher maximum value  resulting in a doubling in absorbed dose per unit activity (Gy/MBq) to the tumor. Estimated absorbed doses for the tumor and some normal organs, where the submandibular glands have the highest calculated absorbed doses, for the administered activities are given in Table?2. It is interesting that there were no observable adverse effects in the group, administrated with 36?MBq of 177Lu-m11B6, considering a theoretical absorbed dose in the order of 16?Gy to.

Boeing is preparing to deliver a proposal to the U.S. Army to build 155 CH-47F Chinook helicopters as part of a multiyear procurement deal.
The helicopters purchased under the pact will include some newer features not installed in the current CH-47F fleet.
"Those aircraft will include a series of small design changes primarily driven by fielding requests," Patrick Donnelly, Boeing's director of domestic Chinook programs, said during an Oct. 12 interview at the annual Association of the U.S. Army convention in Washington.
One modification is a new floor that includes embedded rollers - similar to the ones used in U.S. Air Force's C-17 cargo planes - that make loading pallets easier. Today, some Chinooks use an optional pallet-roller system that is not integrated.
The proposal is due by Nov. 1, however contract award is not expected until January 2013, Donnelly said.
The multiyear order "will essentially complete" the current CH-47F program of record, Donnelly said. Army production is expected to wrap up at the end of the decade.
The Army awarded Boeing a $4.3 billion multiyear pact for more than 180 CH-47F aircraft in August 2008.
The Chinook replacement, the Joint Multi-Role Heavy, is not expected until the 2030s. Boeing is looking to keep the existing Chinook fleet flying for decades to come.
"I think right now our goal would be to do another [service-life extension] where we will increase performance, as the primary focus [and] increase lift," he said.
Boeing is developing a new rotor blade that will give the helicopter about 2,000 more pounds of lift, without degrading forward flight performance, Donnelly said. The system is not scheduled to deliver with the first aircraft in the multiyear procurement deal.
"We have a critical design review coming up in January and we've already started to build flight ballistic test specimens and other things to qualify it," he said.
Still in the Hunt
Boeing is still closely watching the Air Force's HH-60 recapitalization program and has responded to requests for information and has provided the service cost and production data, according to Donnelly.
"We are still very much engaged," he said.
The company does not plan to bid on the Air Force's UH-1N replacement program, dubbed the Common Vertical Lift Support Platform. That program is in limbo as the Pentagon prepares to cut $450 billion in planned spending over the next decade.

There is someone who controls your every move. There is someone who decides whether you will succeed or fail, whether you will persist or give up.
There is someone who tells you when to get up in the morning, what to eat and what to wear. There is someone who determines what career you’ll follow, who your friends will be, and what you’ll do with your time.
That person is you. The control you have over your own thoughts and actions can be one of your most valuable assets.
The way you’ve controlled yourself in the past has brought you to where you are this moment. More importantly, the way you control yourself now, and in the days to come, can take you any place you wish to go.
With all your many commitments, pressures and obligations, it’s easy to forget that you’re in control of what you think, what you say, what you do. By consciously exercising that control you can surely and steadily move positively forward, no matter what the outside circumstances may be.
Whatever you decide to do, to experience, to become, is within your reach when you point yourself consistently in that direction. Use the control you have to make the very most of the person you are.

RALEIGH, N.C. (WNCN) — Former President Donald Trump and Lt. Gov. Mark Robinson maintain commanding leads in their respective races ahead of North Carolina’s March primary, according to a new poll of Republican voters released this week.
The conservative John Locke Foundation found Trump dominates the field of presidential candidates, with 52 percent of likely Republican primary voters supporting him. He’s maintained roughly the same level of support since another poll in April as he faces multiple criminal indictments.
The poll also shows that since the spring, Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis has lost support as 12 percent of primary voters back him. That’s down from 22 percent in April. Former U.N. Ambassador and South Carolina Gov. Nikki Haley has gained support, with 11 percent of Republican voters backing her now.
“Trump still has a hold on North Carolina Republicans,” said Locke CEO Donald Bryson, in a statement accompanying the poll. “With a lead like this, it is hard to imagine what would be required for another Republican candidate to pass him in the polls to win North Carolina’s GOP delegates.”
The pollsters asked Republican voters whether they consider themselves “more of a Trump Republican” or “more of a traditional conservative Republican” and found that Republicans were almost evenly split on that question.
In the gubernatorial race, Lt. Gov. Mark Robinson has a commanding lead similar to Trump. The two are supporting one another in their respective races.
Robinson leads the Republican primary field with 49 percent of voters backing him. The next closest competitor is state Treasurer Dale Folwell, who has 5 percent support. Former U.S. Rep. Mark Walker is the choice for 4 percent of Republican voters. At this point, about 41 percent of voters are still undecided.
“Everyone else is trying to scratch to get a handful of percentage points,” said Mitch Kokai, senior political analyst at the John Locke Foundation. “Even if they all decided we’re just going to have one anti-Robinson candidate, it doesn’t look like they have on their own enough of a chance to get to 50 percent plus one.”
Walker spent much of the summer trying to rally opposition to a proposal to legalize more casinos, including in Rockingham County, which is home of Republican State Senate leader Phil Berger.
Berger ultimately abandoned the idea of including the gambling proposal in the state budget as he faced resistance from some in his own party.
WhileRobinson declined to state his position on the issue publicly during that process, the poll indicates there’s been no significant change in the dynamics of the race. Once Berger announced the casinos would not be included in the budget, Robinson said in a radio interview that he opposed the plan, according to WGHP.
“Walker has kind of gone somewhat on the offensive in this campaign calling out Mark Robinson, but that hasn’t really helped him,” said Kokai.
NC General Assembly
The people who were surveyed were also asked several questions regarding the state legislature.
The General Assembly has been in session since January. Republican leaders have indicated they think they’ll wrap up substantive work this month if they enact new maps of North Carolina’s Congressional and state legislative districts.
The pollsters informed people taking part in the survey that North Carolina is among 11 states with no specific limit on the length of its legislative sessions.
When asked about that issue, 51 percent of Republican primary voters say they would support a limit while 15 percent oppose that. The rest said neither or were unsure.
A large majority said they support the idea of term limits for the leaders of the legislature.
House Speaker Tim Moore (R-Cleveland) is in his fifth term and is the longest-serving Speaker in state history. He has announced he will not seek re-election in 2024. While it’s long been rumored he’ll run for Congress, he has not said definitively what his plans are.
Berger has led the Senate since Republicans took the majority in 2011.
In the survey, 86 percent of Republican voters said they support term limits for those positions.
“Basically everyone thinks that there should be a limit on the amount of time that people serve in these leadership positions,” said Kokai. “That really is dependent on the lawmakers themselves. It’s not going to be something that voters are likely going to force them to do. They will have to decide on their own.”
While Moore and Berger wield significant power in the state given their time in office and the veto-proof supermajority their party has, most Republican voters don’t have strong opinions about them.
A combined 65 percent said they either had no opinion or had never heard of Berger. As for Moore, 71 percent said they had no opinion or had never heard of him.

Book examines the history of West Grove fire stations02/03/2015 02:35PM ● By Steven Hoffman
R. Scott Steele spent more than a decade carefully researching and writing “West Grove Fire Company: A Century of Protection.”
Steele said that he was asked to write the history of fire stations 22, 12, and 32 for the fire company’s centennial in 2004. The resulting 300-page book traces the fire company’s history from the earliest efforts to organize fire protection for the town to the 2013 dedication of Station 32 in London Britain Township.
Steele was particularly interested in how the West Grove Fire Company came to be, in part because it took several attempts to accomplish the goal, and in part because many of the people who were responsible for starting the fire company also played pivotal roles in West Grove’s development.
“The group who helped start the fire company is a who's who of West Grove pioneers,” Steele explained.
In late 1887, a fire struck in Avondale, prompting residents in neighboring West Grove to consider establishing a fire department to serve the community. A group of West Grove's most prominent citizens gathered in November of that year to discuss the matter, and there was enough support to schedule a second meeting. Within a month, twenty-five residents came together and signed a petition to support the charter for a fire company. A five-member board of trustees was formed. And then, for reasons that have been lost to history, the effort never came to fruition.
Three years later, when a blaze broke out at 11 o'clock at night at the Jefferis & Wright General Store at the northeast corner of Exchange Place and Evergreen Street, residents banded together to form a bucket brigade to put out the fire before it destroyed the building. The sight of a fire in the center of town once again prompted a call to start a fire company. But It would be another decade and a half before West Grove would have a fire company of its own.
In 1904, town leaders gathered on the second floor of the bank building on Exchange Place to talk about establishing a fire company. That meeting took place in August. On Sept. 2, 1904, the fire company was officially established, with Robert Pyle serving as the first president of the fire company. Organizers set out to acquire apparatus and a home for the fire company.
In March of 1905, a four-wheel, horse-drawn chemical engine truck rolled into town. Then, in 1906, a new building was built at the corner of Prospect and Walnut.
Steele details how the fire company went about the routine activities of the day, raising money to help offset costs, acquiring apparatus, and responding to emergency calls. As each year passed, there were more and more fire calls.
“I read all the meeting minutes from 1904 to 1913,” Steele explained.
In some instances, the meeting minutes simply listed the date and time of an emergency response, but that would be all that Steele would need to look up more information from other sources.
“Sometimes, in researching, it's about connecting the dots until you find the end of the trail,” he explained.
1928 would turn out to be a fateful year in the West Grove Fire Company's history.
On May 21, 1928, West Grove firefighters joined eight other companies when a fire swept through a feldspar grinding mill and adjacent lumber and coal yard in the village of Toughkenamon. A West Grove firefighter, Raymond Walker, was killed by being crushed under a falling chimney of the lumberyard building. Two firefighters from neighboring company's were also injured.
1928 was also the year of the largest fire in West Grove history. In the meeting minutes from Nov. 5, 1928, there was a simple report of the firefighters responding to a blaze at the West Grove Millwork company that took place on Oct. 11, 12, and 13. The millwork company produced kitchen cabinetry, custom millwork, stair moldings, garden archways, and porch benches. Approximately 150 people were employed at the company at the time.
On the evening of Oct. 11, the three-story, 18,000-square-foot building went up in flames. It would later be determined that the fire started in the paint shop on the third floor. Piles of semi-finished woodwork in the building provided fuel to the fire.
Twenty-six fire companies were called in to help fight the out-of-control fire, as homes on Jackson, Murray, and Walnut were evacuated. Most of the millwork property, including the building, equipment, and inventory, was lost during the fire. Only a shift in wind direction helped spare some of the neighboring homes. The fire company kept watch over the smoldering ruins through Oct. 13.
Steele, a local history enthusiast who grew up in West Grove, was surprised to learn of the extent of the fire.
While 1928 was a difficult year for the local fire company, most of the time the organization was involved in events and activities that improved the West Grove community. The fire company had a band for entertainment. The fire company worked hard to finance the operations of the Roselyn Theatre.
Steele said that he was surprised at the amount of success that the fire company had at holding fundraisers to pay for its operations.
“They had really large carnivals from 1909 to 1925,” he explained. “They were making $3,000 with the fundraiser, and at that time that was half the cost of a new truck.”
Steele also wrote about the various apparatus that the fire company acquired through the years.
“I love the stories about buying the equipment,” he explained.
While Steele focused on the historical developments, he was assisted by Lawrence and Amy Coppock, who compiled the list of apparatus and company officers.
The book includes about sixty photographs from the fire company's collection, which is quite large.
Steele said that he was honored to be asked to write the history of the fire company, and the one thing that he will always remember about the project is learning about the enormous dedication of the men and women who have volunteered to protect the community. He closes the book with a tribute to those who served the West Grove community.
The book is available for purchase at the West Grove Fire Company website (wgfc.org) or by emailing Steele at [email protected].

Berlinale Talent Press, August 25, As such, its main goal is to become a show-reel for its makers, a little exercise in teamwork, through a creative and original usage of the craft. Of course, to some extent the film uses a worldview that we have seen many times in movies that celebrate youth or youth subcultures.
One of the interviewees is Final Destination creator Jeffrey Reddick, and we jumped at the chance to get the writer on the phone.

Pro-North group says South coerced defectorAs both Seoul and Pyongyang remain tight-lipped about Thae Yong-ho, the North Korean diplomat who defected from the London embassy earlier this year, an unofficial mouthpiece of the North was said to have accused the South Korean government of “bribing or coercing” Thae into making the escape.
The London-based newspaper the Telegraph cited Kim Myong-chol, executive director of the Center for North Korea-U.S. Peace, a pro-North Korean group based in Japan, as saying that Thae’s defection is a “typical operation of South Korean intelligence services and part of a plot to bring down North Korea.”
The South Korean government and President Park Geun-hye, Kim reportedly claimed, is “trying to seduce North Korean diplomats around the world with money or women.”
“It’s also possible that they abducted his children and held them hostage until he agreed to go to South Korea,” said Kim.
In a press briefing on Friday, Jeong Joon-hee, a spokesman for the South’s Ministry of Unification, brushed off the accusation, saying Pyongyang has no better way to explain such a senior diplomat voluntarily leaving the regime.
The core motivation for Thae’s defection, he stressed, was his “longing” for South Korea and the “free world.”
Pyongyang has yet to make any official statement about Thae. When asked whether Seoul has any clue why this is the case, Jeong suggested that the North could be “cautiously observing the situation” out of concern it may rattle the internal leadership.
As for why the South Korean government has been reluctant to release further details about Thae, the official said local authorities were weighing various aspects, including Thae’s personal safety and international ramifications.
Jeong also declined to confirm local media reports indicating there are at least four more cases of defection by North Korean diplomats to South Korea this year: one from Bulgaria, another from Russia and two from Southeast Asian nations.
According to multiple sources who spoke under the condition of anonymity, Thae physically met an official from the South Korean government in mid-July at a tennis court in Britain and said he wished to defect with his wife and two sons. The family realized that plan late last month, traveling directly from the United Kingdom to South Korea.
That rendezvous at the tennis court was the first time Thae had ever opened up to a South Korean official about his desire to defect, the sources said.
Steve Evans, a South Korean correspondent for BBC, wrote in an article published Tuesday that he has pleasant memories” with Thae and that “the signs were there” that the diplomat thought about defecting to South Korea.
“I recall he asked me about life in Seoul,” wrote Evans. “I told him it was a mega-bustling city, a world away from Pyongyang.”
While foreign media suggested Thae might have defected to the South chiefly for money, highlighting the fact that North Korean missions abroad are financially broke, a recent study published by a Seoul-based research group state that diplomats do, in fact, tend to work on short budget.
According to a research paper issued in January by the Korean Association of North Korean Studies, which is composed of former and current officials in the National Intelligence Service, a North Korean ambassador is paid between $700 and $800 per month. A counselor earns $600 to $700, while a secretary-level diplomat earns $500 to $600.
Some $2,000 to $3,000 is earmarked every year for each North Korean embassy, but most of the amount is allocated for the annual birthday receptions of former leader Kim Jong-il and his father, Kim Il Sung.
All cooking is done by the diplomats’ wives, and there are no chefs. Short on cash, most diplomats smuggle money out of their home countries through illegal channels, according to the report. The study was based on the testimonies of a former North Korean diplomat stationed in Ethiopia, who defected to the South last year.
The embassies that are most economically stabile, the source said, are the ones stationed in China and Southeast Asia.

The Importance of the Gluten-Free Label
Gluten comes in many forms in our processed food, but it is rarely named explicitly in product ingredient lists. It can be a hidden additive in another listed ingredient. For example, gluten is often present in ingredients listed as vegetable proteins and starch, modified food starch and malt flavoring, including maltodextrine or dextrine. The listing of “natural flavoring” on an ingredient list can also camouflage the presence of gluten.
Unfortunately, there is no specific US law requiring the listing of the gluten content of products on their label. Even close inspection of the ingredients listed on a package may not reveal whether or not it is gluten-free.
For these reasons, many people who are gluten-sensitive will not buy any processed food whose label does not explicitly state that it is gluten-free, or bear the widely recognized GF symbol. This is much like many kosher consumers who will not buy any processed food product which does not bear a recognized hashgocha.
The FDA has proposed a rule requiring that any product which advertises itself as “gluten-free” on the label must contain less than 20 parts per million of gluten from any source, including cross-contamination.
According to Kimberly Ullner, Founder and President of 1-2-3 Gluten Free, “it is imperative that consumers who wish to purchase gluten-free foods do so from reputable companies. Products produced in dedicated gluten-free facilities and/or certified as gluten-free give consumers added confidence that they truly are gluten-free.”
The Challenge of Preventing Cross-Contamination
The problem of cross-contamination is a serious one. Considerable care must be taken to prevent cross-contamination in both commercial and home food preparation. In a food factory, even a tiny amount of wheat flour left on the equipment can cross-contaminate an otherwise gluten-free product, and those trace amounts of gluten can often trigger symptoms in those with gluten sensitivity.
Cross-contamination can also easily occur in the home kitchen. Gluten is a sticky substance which is hard to remove, and it comprises about 12% of ordinary wheat flour. During the usual preparation for baking, very fine wheat flour dust is released into the air, where it can linger for more than a day. During that time, that flour dust will contaminate any gluten-free foods being prepared in the same kitchen, even if the surfaces have been thoroughly cleaned. It is also very difficult to prevent accidental cross-contamination at the table during buffet-style meals in which both gluten-free and gluten-containing foods are being served.
As a practical measure, households with a family member who is on a gluten-free diet often find it much simpler to simply ban all non-gluten-free products from the kitchen and home because of the high risk of accidental cross-contamination. These households frequently report that others in the home also benefit from the switch to a gluten-free diet, even though they had not been previously diagnosed as having a gluten sensitivity.
The Gluten-Free Kosher Connection
Research has established that celiac disease and other manifestations of gluten sensitivity, such as Crohn’s disease, have a strong genetic component. Since Crohn’s disease, is very prevalent among the descendants of Jews from Eastern Europe, there has been a proliferation of gluten-free products with kosher supervision and “heimishe” brands aimed specifically at the kosher market.
Not too long ago, someone looking for kosher gluten-free food products had to seek them out in health food stores, or on specialized websites catering to Jews with Crohn’s disease, but today such products are readily available from local supermarkets which maintain clearly designated “gluten-free” shelves and freezer cases.
In addition, some popular national brands have begun to prominently identify those of their processed food products which are “gluten-free” on their packaging, such as certain varieties of Chex cereals produced by General Mills.
Gluten-free food products have to use a variety of substitutes to provide the qualities normally supplied by gluten-containing ingredients. For example, the flour used in gluten-free baked goods is typically made from almonds, rice, sorghum, corn, soybeans or other kinds of beans to provide the dietary fiber and protein normally provided by wheat. Acceptable sources of starch for those on a gluten-free diet include potatoes and tapioca.
Gluten-free diets are typically heavy in fresh fruits, starchy vegetables, legumes, meats, eggs and many kinds of dairy products. Those on gluten-free diets should be careful to make sure they are getting sufficient amounts of iron, Vitamins B12 and D, magnesium and dietary fiber. Note that gluten-free foods are not necessarily low-calorie or low in sugar, further complicating the gluten-free challenge for those with diabetes or who are seeking to lose weight.

In a representative study by the market research institute Forsa concerning the most popular brand names amongst Germans, Demeter has made it into the Top 50. Demeter is on par with Coca Cola as the third most popular food brand and landed at No. 27 overall. Demeter is only surpassed by Alnatura and Mars. The Demeter Partner Alnatura came out top in the food sector and is ranked 12th overall. Demeter and Alnatura are the only two organic brands that have made it into the Top 50. "We are proud that the work of our farmers, processors and distributors in Germany is being recognised," Demeter CEO Alexander Gerber said about the results.
"2014 is the year of the break through for organic products," says brand expert Andreas Pogoda of Brandmeyer Market research who commissioned the study "The fact that they are at the forefront of the list of favourite brands this year for the first time shows that it is far more than hype. The Germans have come to appreciate particular brands for years now and do not want to be without them. "
Demeter stands for top quality products produced by the Biodynamic method.
As a pioneer of organic husbandry, Demeter has succeeded in developing into a modern and sustainable form of agriculture, now regarded as the most sustainable form being practised. It ensures that the humus content in the soil is continuously increasing. This is confirmed by independent research which investigated the differences between conventional, organic and biodynamic methods over more than 20 years. This is of particular importance in view of climate change, because humus binds large amounts of carbon dioxide, which helps counteract the greenhouse effect.
(With an unprecedented co-brand strategy, Demeter guarantees biodynamic quality to the consumers, while the manufacturer’s trade name offers the assurance of careful, gentle processing.
In Germany around 1,400 farmers on 68,000 hectares farm biodynamically. Demeter e. V. also includes about 330 Demeter processors, as well as contracted licensees from the natural and health food wholesalers sector.)
