Luke 10:25-37 My Neighbor
There was a scholar of the law who stood up to test Jesus and said, “Teacher, what must I do to inherit eternal life?” Jesus said to him “What is written in the law? How do you read it?”
What must I do? What is written in the law? A woman I know recently witnessed a horrible accident. It occurred in a pretty famous water park parking lot. Two crewmen were preparing to tow a car. One guy was driving the tow truck. The other was directing him. Something went seriously wrong and the tow truck began to push the disabled car into another car; the man directing the entire thing was nearly crushed by the two cars.
The woman who witnessed it went over to the water park employee and said to him, “Maybe you should let the owner of the damaged car know what happened. Maybe you could announce the license plate over the PA system.” The young man said, “I’m sorry ma’am but we’re not allowed to do that.” The woman couldn’t believe what she was hearing. “Why?” she asked. The young man said, “Well, we don’t want to give anyone the impression that we are responsible for what happens in the parking lot.”
I’m not breaking any laws. I’m doing what I’m told to do. I’m good.
Let the Lord be your neighbor, and only then will you be a good neighbor to everyone else.

Dallas, Texas 08/06/2014 (FINANCIALSTRENDS) – DryShips Inc. (NASDAQ:DRYS) best known for its bulk cargo transport services, this overseas-based player reported disappointing second quarter earnings report, on August 5.
Why Disappointing quarter?
Though, the disappointment was inline in previous quarter’s surprise negative earnings of 300%, this quarter too some of the core reasons appeared to roll over from previous quarter. The first of these was the tremendous pressure of operating on spot market rates. The management pointed out in its earnings call, that as a large part of its shipping contracts are currently operating on the volatility of spot market rates, the earnings weighed-in.
Spot Market Rate Uprised In Q1 Earning Call
The management of DryShips Inc. (NASDAQ:DRYS) had declared in its first quarter earning’s call about the sport market scenario to be in the region of 36% in 2014, 21% for 2015 and 15% in 2016.
The element of surprise in the drastic dip in the first quarter was therefore missing in the second quarter earnings as the top-line continued to fluctuate.
New Drilling Contract
In the second quarter, DRYS had adopted several strategies to optimize revenues including commencement of new drilling contracts. The company announced in the first week of June a new contract with Ocean Rig to use Eirik Raude rig. At the time of announcement, the estimated length of the contract was for a period not exceeding 260 days.
Competitors’ Sale Through In Q2
However, there have been other cargo transports that have been able to stem the international market trends to report positive trends as well. These include Nordic American Tankers Ltd, (NYSE:NAT) reporting ESP of +41.18%, KNOT Offshore Partners LP (NYSE:KNOP) reporting ESP of +9.38%.
DryShips Inc. (NASDAQ:DRYS) has a market capital of 1.11 billion and operates from its headquarters in Athina, Greece.

Genting’s World Dream started its ‘Super Seacation’ sailings on Friday.
Cruise operator Genting Hong Kong said it plans to resume service in mainland China by the end of the year with “cruises to nowhere” from Sanya city.
The company has been in discussions with the government of China’s southern Hainan province about the cruises, said Kent Zhu, the president of Genting Cruise Lines, which is a part of Genting Hong Kong. “We have submitted the necessary documents to the ministry of transport for approval, and aim to resume cruises by the end of the year,” he said.
The move comes after a period of misery for the industry. Thanks to the coronavirus pandemic, about US$50 billion in economic activity, 334,000 jobs and US$15 billion in wages were lost between mid-March and the end of September, according to Cruise Lines International Association.
Carnival Corporation, the world’s largest cruise operator, reported a net loss of US$2.9 billion from June to August. Genting, meanwhile, recorded US$742.6 million in losses for the six months ended on June 30.
The company resumed service in Singapore, after World Dream, a cruise ship under its luxury Dream Cruises brand, started its “Super Seacation” sailings on Friday. About 1,400 passengers embarked on the inaugural trip. The company is offering two-night and three-night cruises on the open seas.
World Dream was operating at 50 per cent of its capacity, and all crew members and passengers aged 6 months and above were required to take a Covid-19 testing.
In recent months, some cruises have indeed set off from some countries, but on board infections led to a rethink over a full-fledged resumption. Some governments are still cautious about lifting bans on cruising – Canada, for instance, extended its ban on cruises through February 2021.
But Genting said it viewed cruises to nowhere as a temporary answer before a Covid-19 vaccine became available, with cruise travel bubbles the next step.
“Since the no-destination sailings will not have any ports of call, this means that those who have embarked on a cruise ship are in a safe cruise bubble at sea throughout the journey, in which everyone has already tested Covid-19 negative,” Zhu said.
Hainan wants to boost the local cruising industry as part of efforts to develop the province into a free-trade port and free-trade zone. The government has permitted some cruises to nowhere as the pandemic has been brought under control in China.
Genting has also completed more than 35 sailings out of Taiwan, with no infections found during the trips, since cruising restarted there on July 26.
The company has been in discussions with the Hong Kong government as well, and has been exploring ways to resume business for months. A target of restarting services as early as August was hindered by the city’s third wave of Covid-19 infections.
That, in turn, worsened the company’s financial status, forcing it to halt all payments to creditors in August. The company said on Sunday that the payments were bank “fees and charges based on pre-existing terms”,which it had, in fact, settled the same month.
Zhu did not reveal details of the company’s debt and finances, but said Genting had not implemented further cost-control measures, adding that its priority was to recover business as soon as possible.
“We will also be meeting the secretary of commerce to push forward the next steps to reopening domestic cruising in Hong Kong,” Zhu said.
The best way to predict the future is to create it.

Member firms in 17 countries around the world have contributed and, drawing upon their in-depth understanding of the local jurisdiction and cultural political and geographical challenges, the report provides a unique overview for the insurance industry.
Jim Sherwood, Chairman of Global Insurance Law Connect commented: “Since our first report on the impact of COVID-19 in July 2020, we have seen changes in the way we live and work and have begun to understand the challenges for businesses and economies around the world. Our GILC members here highlight the common themes which are emerging from coverage to regulatory change, and well as focussing on country specific issues.
“For example, disputes concerning business interruption have triggered challenges in numerous jurisdictions. Our members also look at the claims to come, not least in D&O where several members focus upon the likely increase in bankruptcy procedures leading to legal actions and claims under credit insurance. How are the courts adapting and what regulatory changes do you need to address? A recurring topic is the change in working practices and business environment, while the acceleration in digitisation has seen the industry move several years’ forward in just a few months.”
The latest edition of the Covid report also contains contributions from two new member firms in Turkey and the Netherlands.

German automaker Mercedes-Benz has recalled more than 147,000 station wagons and mid-sized cars due to a fire hazard.
Mercedes-Benz announced the recall of about 147,224 CLS-class and E-class vehicles, made between 2013 and 2015, in the United States.
A recall notice of the U.S. National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) said that affected cars have a rubber lining at the back of the engine bay, which may temporarily get stuck to the top when it is opened. The rubber seal may fall into the engine when the hood is closed and cause a fire.
The affected Mercedes-Benz cars are 2013 to 2015 models of E400 Hybrid, E350, E63 AMG, CLS63 AMG and CLS550. The 2013 and 2014 models of E550 and the 2015 model of E400 (non-hybrid) and CLS400 are also affected due to the recent recall. The automaker revealed that the E-class convertibles and coupes are not affected.
Mercedes-Benz USA has also issued a stop sale order for its vehicle dealers in the country.
"Effective immediately, a stop sale is required for Model Year 2013-2015 E-Class and CLS vehicles," read the stop sale order. "The affected vehicles that are in dealer inventory, or may be arriving at your dealerships from the VPCs, must be held, and not dealer traded, or used for loaner or demonstration purposes until further instructions are provided."
Mercedes-Benz has also announced that dealers in the U.S. will start notifying affected car owners from mid-March. The dealers will fix four additional clips to retain the rubber seal so that it does not fall off and cause a risk. Customers will not be charged for fixing the problem.
It has not been long since the car maker recalled about 149,000 vehicles in Europe and China over similar issues.
Mercedes-Benz is not the only car maker to be hounded with vehicle recalls due to defective components. Other well-known automakers such as Land Rover and Jaguar recently had to recall some cars over light and brakes issues. In January, Nissan also recalled about 768,000 cars worldwide over faulty hoods that could cause a fire.

As we know that the water is essential nutrient for bird metabolism and nutrition.
Water consumed by the bird is essential for nutrient transportation, enzymatic
and chemical reaction in the body, temperature regulation, lubrication of joints and organs.
If you running poultry you need water for birds to
drink, evaporation of cooling pad, fogging system and for cleaning purposes. Water consumption by chicken is limited when water contaminated with excess minerals. Their
water and food consumption rate are interdependent. When water intake rate is reduced by chicken their food intake rate also reduce, and it affect their metabolism. so Mineral content in water should check regularly from water testing laboratory.
Same way pH, microbial contamination, Alkalinity, water Hardness and temperature also affect the water quality. A pH range of greater than 8 could cause reduced water consumption.and hard water contain minerals such as magnesium, Iron, Sulfur, Sodium and copper can causes bitter test and it reduces the intake of water by birds.
Bacterial count is also major factor in poultry farm. Total coliform, E.coli bacteria are found in water and coliform bacteria are of special concern & coliform are found in animal digestive track And it hazardous to their health.
For better precaution the person who running poultry farm should test their water on regular basis for bird health.

Here it is, folks, the song that Taylor Swift co-wrote with theatre maestro Andrew Lloyd Webber for Cats, the film. “Beautiful Ghosts” is the second new thing that Swift has shared this week after a remix of the title track from her new album, Lover, that featured Shawn Mendes.
“Beautiful Ghosts” is apparently the only new song that was composed for the movie. While Swift sings the version that’s being released as a single today, it’s actually sung by Francesca Hayward in the film, who plays a cat named Victoria, and is later reprised by Judi Dench. This version will play over the movie’s end credits.
Listen to it below.
UPDATE (11/19): And here is a new Cats trailer:
Cats hits theaters on 12/20. Swift recently took to social media to accuse Scott Borchetta and Scooter Braun of preventing her from performing her old songs. Thankfully, the Cats song is safe from their claws.


(Steve Hilton – Fox News) If you’ve been living your life rather than following the latest circus in Washington, you may have missed the fact that the Swamp’s chief scribe has a new book coming out. Or maybe you’re unaware that some anonymous, arrogant Trump administration staffer who no one voted for has written in The New York Times about how he or she feels entitled to overrule a president elected by the American people according to the Constitution.
It turns out Bob Woodward doesn’t have a flattering view of President Trump. It also turns out that there really is a deep state conspiracy to thwart President Trump’s agenda, organized by his own administration’s appointees. Stop the presses! I think we knew that already.
What’s more illuminating than Woodward’s gossipy, exploitative book or the pompous, self-important preening of a presidential aide is the D.C. media and political establishment’s obsession with covering its own pathetic palace intrigue.
It certainly reminds us of the very worst of Washington – the focus on style over substance, the personal over policy. But it’s even more serious than that. Political appointees (or civil service bureaucrats, for that matter) who actually take pride in subverting the democratic will of the people exemplify the frightening authoritarianism we face at the hands of an entrenched ruling class determined to cling to power regardless of who wins actual elections.

On Saturday, Nov. 15, Tampa Theatre will host a sinister celebration of the Bay area’s own creature feature, SATAN’S CHILDREN: a devilish 1970’s era thriller filmed in Tampa. It has never enjoyed a proper cinematic release… until now!
In the spring of 1974, WTVT-FOX producer/director Joe Wiezycki assembled a determined coven of Tampa TV crew and an ensemble cast, chiefly from the University of South Florida. Together, they filmed a shocking and exploitive tale of brutal revenge, bizarre unholy rituals, hedonistic hippie culture, weird sex and the seductive spell of Satanic cults.
In other words, the film that has been called “a sensationally sick, twisted and depraved doozy of a low-budget ‘70s drive-in horror flick” is grindhouse horror movie heaven!
The so-bad-it’s-good schlock film never saw a proper theatrical release, and it seemed doomed to obscurity, even during the popular VHS era of the 1980s. But this fall, Fangoria Magazine, The Sunscreen Film Festival, and Fandomonium in Tampa Bay will give the devil his due with a SATAN’S CHILDREN 40th Anniversary Cast & Crew Reunion Screening at 10 p.m. Saturday, Nov. 15.
For the first time ever, original cast and crew members will reunite on stage and discuss the making of this underground drive-in classic with local historic appeal. The special hometown screening will include a post-film Q&A with Stephen White (“Bobby Douglas”), Rosemary Orlando (“Monica”), John Edwards (“Joshua”), John Mocsary (special make-up effects), Bill Dudley (sound recordist), and more. The cast and crew will be available for autographs, and DVDs and commemorative SATAN’S CHILDREN posters will be available for purchase.
“This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to experience SATAN’S CHILDREN at the glorious Tampa Theatre with the original cast and crew in attendance!” said event organizer Andy Lalino, who will also be documenting the screening in the pages of Fangoria Magazine, the horror industry’s most popular periodical since 1979.

Casting Updates: Taken 3, The Whole Truth, Marvel & xXx 3!
Fresh off the wire as this week's festivities move forward for the European Film Festival in Berlin, Deadline confirmed that director Olivier Megaton will return to the director's seat once again for the Liam Neeson actioner, Taken 3. Neeson is expected to reprise his role with much of the main cast, namely actress Maggie Grace who plays his daughter, in addition to the film's newly annouced cast member, Forest Whitaker.
The film marks the third installation of EuropaCorp's surprise franchise success that began with Neeson starring as former CIA operative Bryan Mills trekking through France's seedy underworld of Albanian sex traffickers to hunt down his daughter's kidnappers in the Pierre Morel-directed 2008/09 film, while the 2012 sequel pit our hero against their blood thirsty family members hungry for vengeance as they stalk Mills and his family through Istanbul. As for the third offering, no plot details have been made, although Luc Besson and Robert Mark Kamen are back to treat the script.
Neeson will appear in his second film opposite director Jaume Collet-Serra for the high-flying hostage thriller, Non-Stop, set to release in North America on February 28, 2014.
Variety is also reporting that actor Daniel Craig is lined up for a new role in a courtroom thriller titled The Whole Truth. Nicholas Kazan, who wrote director Michael Apted's 2002 domestic violence action drama, Enough, and Michael Karbelnikoff's 1991 prohibition-era gangster crime drama, Mobsters, is providing the screenplay, while Richard Suckle and Courtney Hunt will produce and direct respectively.
Craig is currently returning to his fourth stint as the iconic MI6 agent, James Bond in the tentatively titled Bond 24 with Sam Mendes back to direct for a November 6, 2015 release.
In Marvel news, while Tom Hiddleston's previous efforts to nab the role of Marvel superhero Thor eventually segwayed into that of his adopted brother, Loki, actor Chris Hemsworth will no doubt return for the role with Hiddleston in the pending release of Thor 3 as per the slate of films within the Marvel Cinematic Universe. Thor: The Dark World's executive producer Craig Kyle and writer Christopher Yost will be penning the script, which might center around the cyclic death and rebirth of the Asgardian gods, otherwise known as the Ragnarok story arc.
Meanwhile, reports also suggest that a writer is still being sought for the third Captain America film, but now the directors of the upcoming April 4, 2014 release of Captain America: The Winter Soldier, Anthony and Joe Russo are now on board to direct the third film, with actor Chris Evans reprising his role.
Marvel has three dates slated for untiltled new films between now and 2017, which could mean Thor 3 may land one of those dates. In the meantime, Hemsworth and Evans are rejoining the principle cast for The Avengers: Age Of Ultron, in addition to new actors, including South Korean local actress Kim Soo-Hyun who has been newly cast as another villain. The film bows on May 1, 2015.
Last but not least, Marvel's Guardian Of The Galaxy voice-over co-star, actor Vin Diesel continued to correspond with his #Vinbook community with viral videos and posts on Facebook accompanied by the tunes of singers Beyonce and Katy Perry. Reports suggest that Universal Pictures is granting last year's successful theatrical release of Riddickwith a sequel, which was reported in previous headlines to begin exploring 'The Underverse'. In addition further news highlights the completion of the script treatment for the long gestating development of the tentatively titled xXx: The Return Of Xander Cage following Diesel's role in the 2002 film with actor Ice Cube replacing him in the 2005 sequel.
Marvel's Guardians Of The Galaxy release on August 1, 2014, while Diesel continues to complete the epic production of Fast And Furious 7 slated for April 10, 2015.
EXCLUSIVE: Japanese action star, actor Tak Sakaguchi will share the floor as a guest panelist among other headliners for this year's sophomore entry of the Iron DragonTV ActionFest. Submissions are now underway for the upcoming event which will be held at the Galaxy Highland 10 Theater in Austin, Texas from August 10 through 12.
The humble Ishikawa native is a naturally well-known fan favorite credited for such films as Battlefield Baseball, Versus, Alive, Samurai School, Yakuza Weapon and Sono Sion's Why Don't You Play In Hell? to name a few. His latest action-packed starring role now sees him carving and beating armies of villains to a pulp for longtime friend and film partner Shimomura Yuji's second directing effort, Re:Born, which has since been subject to a raft of critical praise from the festival circuit since last year.

Still, it's nice to know that a Blu-Ray/Digital HD release of the new tournament martial arts thriller, Boyka: Undisputed, is well on its way with an August release, while it's even nicer to know that the film's star, actor and martial artist Scott Adkins wants to do a fifth.

Coffee-table books on rock bands usually fall into one of two categories; either they're chock-full of great visuals with very little textual information, or the book looks like the U.S. tax code with a few snapshots thrown in. Thankfully, music journo Sutcliffe got it right both ways with this work, a must-have under the tree for any Queen fans on your list. Though utilizing mostly previously published interviews, Sutcliffe offers a detailed and comprehensive history of the band from their early days (when three-fourths of the classic lineup was known as Smile) up to their appearance during last season's American Idol finale. In addition, rock scribes and stars alike chime in on the band's albums, music, and impact. Not surprisingly, the late flamboyant and mercurial Freddie Mercury leaps off the pages both in stories and photos, a born performer if there ever was one (though in one magazine questionnaire reproduced here, he lists "Liza Minelli" as his own favorite performer).
A complete tour itinerary shows that Her Majesty's Legions played Houston a total of four times in their career (2/26/77 at the Sam Houston Coliseum, and 12/11/77, 8/10/80, and 8/20/88 at the Summit).
The real treat of Queen, though lies in the 500+ photos of the band in action and memorabilia including vintage backstage passes, T-shirts, record sleeves from around the world, and posters. Ironically, many of the tour laminates - designed by Mercury himself - feature scantily clad or nude women, many of them (of course), fat bottomed girls.

RANCHO CORDOVA, Calif. — While Rancho Cordova has only been an incorporated city for a handful of years, it’s been a community rooted in growth dating back to the 1950s.
According to City Councilmember Linda Budge, who has roots in the city going back 50 years, the name “Rancho Cordova” is based on the Cordova Vineyards.
“When they began to build houses out here and wanted to give the community a name with the U.S. Postal Service, they wanted to call it Rancho Cordova in honor of the Cordova Vineyards, ” Budge said.
The vineyards were founded by Roland Federspiel’s family in the late 1800s, and, according to Budge, wine from that vineyard was even served to Teddy Roosevelt in the White House. The Cordova name itself is a reference to the Cordoba Region of Spain.
Prior to being Rancho Cordova, the city was known as the community of Mills. Budge noted that the name was a reference to the mills John Sutter had built along the American River.
Why did people come to Rancho Cordova?
Modern day Rancho Cordova dates back to the 1950s. Budge said there was a trend of young people coming back from World War II who needed homes. This helped spur the city's development.
Due to wine not being as popular during that time as it was before, Budge said people decided to build houses for new people coming into the community who were making the change from the inner-city to the suburbs.
“Rancho Cordova began because of that trend,” Budge added.
Part of the origins of Rancho Cordova were also tied to Mather Air Force Base. Budge noted that, due to the Cold War seeing escalation, the need for the base continued, and most of the Airmen had to live off base.
At the same time, Aerojet General Corp. came up from Los Angeles and brought with them thousands of people who wanted to work for them.
The third group of people to settle in Rancho Cordova were ultimately the service providers, everyone from doctors and pastors to principals and salesmen.
"Those three people were the founders of Rancho Cordova in the 50s and 60s," Budge said.
Despite its origins stemming back decades, the City of Rancho Cordova was incorporated somewhat recently on July 1, 2003. Initial efforts were made back in 1960 and 1961, however the incorporation didn't come into fruition until the city started a 20-year effort toward cityhood.
The effort paid off in 2002 when the matter of cityhood for Rancho Cordova was placed on the ballot and approved by 78 percent of voters.

While in town to visit family, we decided to give this place a try. It was a mistake. The service was not only slow but the server had 0 personality. It took 15 minutes to get our drinks and there were only 2 other parties in the whole place. (It was 3 in the afternoon.) It took 25 minutes to get our food.
The food: The crab/lobster bisque had so much wine in it, it was VERY overpowering and a total disappointment. The shrimp and grits was the worst I have ever eaten. The grits in this dish should be smooth and creamy. These were lumpy and hard on the bottom. My son had a shrimp po-boy and it was made with tiny fried salad shrimp. Never in my life have I seen a shrimp po-boy made with salad shrimp. They were tiny, dry, hard and tasteless. My husband had a grilled chicken sandwich and the chicken tasted like vinegar.
The back page of the menu lists those items as coming with rice and a vegetable but this is not true. The server said only a couple of the items listed there come with rice and a vegetable. Well, then why not remove the items from that page that DON'T come with it?????
We had to ask for napkins, salt, pepper, sugar, crackers AND drink re-fills.
This is not an inexpensive restaurant. One expects (and should expect) more for their money. We will not return and would never recommend this place to others.

Phoenix - Curtis Joseph
Anaheim - Ilja Bryzgalov
On Friday night, the Phoenix Coyotes fell to their Pacific Division rivals, the Anaheim Ducks by the score of 6-2.
In the opening minute of the game, the Ducks were able to force the puck deep into the Coyotes zone, including a shot on goal by Anaheim's Teemu Selanne. However, Goaltender Curtis Joseph, who was making his first start in nine days, was sharp in net and kept the game scoreless.
The Coyotes brought the play back into the Anaheim zone as the period continued where veteran center Jeremy Roenick registered Phoenix's first shot on goal when he took a feed from Ladislav Nagy along the left-hand boards and blasted a one-timer on goal. Matching his counterpart at the other end of the ice, Anaheim netminder Ilja Bryzgalov made the save from deep in his crease.
Phoenix would get the first power play of the game when Shawn Thornton was sent to the penalty box at 5:47 of the first for slashing. The Coyotes tried to establish an offensive threat with the extra skater, but before they could take full advantage of the penalty to Thornton, Phoenix defenseman Ed Jovanovski was assessed a tripping penalty at 6:24 of the period.
Throughout the four-on-four action and the brief Duck power play, neither club would be able to take the early lead as the period approached the halfway point, still knotted at 0-0.
Anaheim would return to the box at 11:56 of the opening frame when Francois Beauchemin was called for hooking. Just as it had in their first opportunity, the Coyotes power play made an all-out assault on the Duck net including a pile up the forced Bryzgalov onto his back, leaving the puck at the top of the crease. Despite the consistent offensive attack and the opportunities provided by the Ducks, Phoenix was unable to find the back of the net and capture the first lead of the game.
Late in the first, the Ducks were granted their second man-advantage of the period when Coyotes defenseman Derek Morris was called for interference with 3:05 to play. Anaheim would use just eight-seconds of their power play as Selanne ripped a shot on goal from the slot that Joseph was able to turn aside, sending a rebound to the right side of the net where a waiting Chris Kunitz flipped the puck into the net for a 1-0 lead.
Nagy nearly tied the game with less than two minutes to play when his shot from just inside the blueline seemed to fool Bryzgalov, forcing him to make an awkward save on the Coyotes sniper.
The first period would come to an end shortly after Nagy's late scoring opportunity, sending both teams to their respective locker rooms with Anaheim holding a one-goal lead.
With just over a minute gone in the second period, the Coyotes came within inches of tying the game as Yanic Perreault, who was playing in first game since joining the Coyotes, snapped a wrist shot from the left side of the Anaheim goal that beat Bryzgalov and ricocheted off the crossbar and out of play.
The Ducks would increase their lead to 2-0 at 2:07 of the second when center Dustin Penner was allowed to enter the Phoenix zone and fire a slap shot from the top f the left face-off circle that beat Joseph to give Anaheim a two-goal lead.
The action began to pick up with 13-minutes to play in the period when Anaheim's Shane O'Brien made a hard drive at the net, only to be stopped on the doorstep by Joseph. Moments later, the Ducks capitalized on a Phoenix turnover and created a three-on-one rush into the Coyotes zone. Following a quick cross-ice pass, Selanne tried to snap the puck into the goal from the left side, but "Cujo" made a great play to slide across the crease and kick out the puck, keeping the Anaheim lead at two goals.
Just seconds after Joseph's highlight save on Selanne, Phoenix forward Oleg Saprykin was hammered at the Anaheim blue line by Francois Beauchemin, sending Saprykin to the ice and then to the bench. Even after absorbing the heavy hit, Saprykin remained on the bench and took his next shift on the ice.
Roenick took exception to the hit on Saprykin and tried to rally to his teammates defense, but as a result, was assessed a minor penalty for roughing at 7:42 of the stanza. Anaheim continued to take advantage of the extra attacker as Selanne blasted a slap shot from the top of the left circle that found a hole through the legs of Joseph, putting the Ducks on top 3-0.
Anaheim blueliner and former Coyote Sean O'Donnell made it a 4-0 game at 14:13 of the period when he blasted a drive from the left side that reached the back of the net for his second tally of the season.
The Coyotes were given their fourth power play of the game at 16:49 of the second when Shawn Thornton made his second trip to the penalty box, this time for cross-checking. Unfortunately, the man-advantage would only last for 35-seconds as Mike Comrie was whistled for tripping at 17:24 of the second. The open ice created by the four-on-four play, would lend itself to Anaheim's favor when forward Andy McDonald broke in on the phoenix goal with just under two minutes to play. However, before he could get his shot off, Joseph tried to poke-check the puck away, but in the process, lost his grip on his goal stick, resulting in a penalty shot for the Ducks. McDonald took the honors and fired a low snap shot to the strong side, which beat Joseph and gave Anaheim a 5-0 lead as the season period of play came to a close.
Phoenix began the third period by making a change in goal as David LeNeveu took over for Curtis Joseph.
Just 1:10 into the final period, the Coyotes were able to make their first dent on the scoreboard when Patrick Fischer's wrist shot from the slot beat Bryzgalov, to make it a 5-1 game. Fredrik Sjostrom recorded the only assist on Fischer's second goal of the season.
At 3:31 of the third, Derek Morris took his second penalty of the contest when he was sent to the box for hooking. The Ducks elite power play unit feature Chris Pronger and Scott Niedermayer went on the attack, blasting shots the Phoenix net. The pressure would lead to the Ducks sixth goal of the game at 4:2 0 of the third when Pronger one-timed a feed from Ryan Getzlaf at the point, through the legs of LeNeveu for Anaheim's third power play goal of the contest.
With just under 11-minutes to play in the third, the Ducks nearly scored again when a scrum in front of the Phoenix net resulted in a loose puck sliding through the crease and striking the right goal post before the Coyotes defense could clear the zone.
Mike Comrie cut the Ducks lead to 6-2 at 10:39 of the third on a rush that saw a trio of Coyotes forward contributing on the play. The rush was started by Saprykin, who fired the initial shot on goal; once Bryzgalov made the first save, Owen Nolan followed up with a shot of his own that was stopped but provided a rebound for Comrie, who tapped the puck past the outstretched leg of the Anaheim goaltender for his fourth goal of the season.
The Coyotes and Ducks would trade offensive rushes over the final minutes of the game, but neither netminder would allow another goal. As a result, the Coyotes were unable close the gap as they fell to the Anaheim Ducks by the final score of 6-2.

What is “workation” and why is it gaining popularity worldwide?
Tired of working from the office or home? Need a break? Want to take your work to a beach, a resort or maybe to another city? "Workation" could be the solution that can provide a much-needed break without making you miss that work deadline.
The concept of workation is not brand new. Digital nomads have been working remotely — seizing the chance to take their work wherever they go, provided that place has good Wi-Fi service.
The pandemic has changed the employment landscape, giving a huge boost to remote working. A recent survey by GlobalData showed that people want to spend less time in the office post Covid-19.
According to a report published in BBC, there's no sign of workcations slowing down as firms are still allowing remote work policies. Last year, a whopping 85% of 3,000 Indian workers said in a poll that they took a workcation in 2021.
WHAT IS WORKATION?
Workation merges the words "work" and "vacation". A workation involves an employee taking a short or long vacation but still giving full output.
A workation could be a few days or even a few months long, and the employee could be in their own country or any other.
It's a more structured version of planned activities often in amazing locations.
Taking a workation is only possible thanks to dozens of tools and communication platforms like Microsoft Teams and Zoom, and smooth Wi-Fi connection available at the location.
WHAT ARE THE BENEFITS?
Workations can be a win-win for employers and employees. There are a number of ways changing a work environment can be beneficial. Research shows that travel and exposure to various environments can change the brain's neural pathways and make people think more creatively.
Flexible working hours increase productivity as employees escape from their usual commitments and since there is no daily commute and no external distractions.
As studies and surveys suggest, workations are popular because remote work offers adaptable ways to increase employee productivity and job satisfaction.
Workations give employees a chance to escape the routine of the workplace. The monotony of working in the same place every day is broken.
Workations can help employees create free time and reduce burnout.
Workations allow employees to spend their free time on interests and activities for which they typically have little time while in the office. The idea is that the employee won't stay chained to their workstation the whole day, preventing burnout.
CHALLENGES OF A WORKATION
Studies have shown that not all employees prefer working remotely. Some workers prefer the office environment where they perform their duties as they interact with other employees.
Workations can occasionally backfire, especially if you spend more time in leisure than working. Workations may also lead to a loss of work-life balance.
While workations might save time and money associated with commuting, they come with additional expenses. Traveling, food, accommodation, and additional living costs can quickly pile up. And that's why, workations can be expensive.
Thus, the success of a workation is largely determined by how well you manage your time.

Here`s another great article:
My 5 month old puppy, an Indian breed, started biting when she was around 3.5 months. She is very sweet and lovely, but bites a lot. I have tried yelping and withdrawing my hand, leaving the room for a few seconds when she bites a little too much, distracting her, giving her something to chew on etc. Iave consistently done this for almost two months and there is no improvement. Me and my family get hurt a lot especially in the hands and ankles. People tell me she will grow out of it, but I see no signs. Also some people suggest we beat her, which I am dead against and something I will never do. Help me please. Am I doing something wrong? It's difficult to even train her or pet her when all she wants to is to bite. Thanks.

Alder Biopharmaceuticals Inc. (NASDAQ:ALDR) Q3 2018 Earnings Conference Call Transcript
Nov 06, 2018 • 05:00 pm ET
Good afternoon, and welcome to the Alder BioPharmaceuticals Third Quarter 2018 Financial Results Conference Call. At this time, all participants are in a listen-only mode. Following the formal remarks, we will open the call up for your questions. Please be advised that the call is being recorded by the company's request.
At this time, I'd like to turn the call over to Michael Schaffzin of Stern Investor Relations. Please proceed.
Thank you, operator. Good afternoon, and thank you for joining us. Just after today's market close, we filed our Form 10-Q for the third quarter of 2018 with the Securities and Exchange Commission and issued a press release reporting on our third quarter 2018 financial and operating results, both of which are available in the Investors section of our website at www.alderbio.com. You may listen to a live webcast and listen to a replay of today's call on the Investors section of the website.
Today in our call, we have Bob Azelby, CEO; Dr. Eric Carter, Interim CMO; and Larry Benedict, EVP and Principal Accounting Officer; as well as Elisabeth Sandoval, Chief Commercial Officer and EVP of Corporate Strategy.
(Forward-Looking Cautionary Statements)
With that, let me pass the call over to Bob.
Thank you, Michael, and welcome, everyone, to our call to discuss Alder's third quarter highlights and results. As we approach our anticipated BLA filing for eptinezumab in the first quarter of 2019, we recently announced positive results for our PK comparability study, which demonstrated the comparability of epti between our clinical trials and commercial supply. Eric will discuss the results in more detail, but in short, we are pleased with the outcome. Importantly, these results, together with our chemistry, manufacturing, and controls and clinical data packages, puts us in a position to prepare a robust, high-quality BLA. Additionally, we have had constructive engagement with the FDA during our pre-BLA meetings and remain encouraged by the strength of our data package.
Now I'd like to provide an in-depth look at why we think epti is uniquely positioned to capture a distinct segment of the market, if approved by the FDA. To start, of the 13 million patients who are migraine prevention candidates, it's estimated that only 3.5 million are currently receiving treatment, which equates to an approximately 25% treatment penetration rate for a highly symptomatic and debilitating disease. It's been estimated that prior to the launch of anti-CGRPs, despite the many treatment options available, only 40% of prophylactically-treated patients were satisfied with their current treatment plan.
Based on these dynamics, there is clearly a large unmet need for preventative therapies, and we believe both migraine treatment penetration and anti-CGRP class share will grow significantly over the coming years. This has been further validated by the recent anti-CGRP launches, with prescription data from the first few months of launch suggesting over 100,000 patients have already been prescribed an anti-CGRP. Taken together, these factors reinforce our confidence and in the potential size of the prevention market and the market opportunity for epti,


It’s really funny how things that make perfect sense to a roomful of bureaucrats make no sense whatsoever to most other people. I’m supposed to to bridge that gap, so to speak, because my job involves studying the logic of the bureaucrats and translating it into the vulgar language of Noah Webster.
Today I noticed that our free-spirited sister paper, the Marin Independent Journal, had a column that cuts to the very core of that disconnect.
Here’s the bureaucrat’s logic:
1. We don’t have enough money to pay for our existing infrastructure, to say nothing of building new infrastructure.
3. The easier and cheaper it is for people to drive to work in congested urban areas, the more they’re likely to do it. Charging a congestion fee (translation: toll) for using main arteries into the urban core and higher peak-time parking rates will help people understand (and pay for) the true costs of driving to work.
4. Bush Administration officialshave allied themselves with the enviros on this concept, and they’re putting their money where their mouth is.
5. The administration has picked San Francisco as one of the proving grounds for this idea. San Francisco needs a new Doyle Drive viaduct leading to the Golden Gate Bridge, so let’s charge this newfangled congestion fee for bridge users.
As the column by Dick Spotswood explains, this line of thinking impacts one group of commuters disproportionately more than any other:
A Doyle Drive toll is a commuter tax. Worse, it’s a tax that will only be levied on North Bay motorists.
No corresponding toll is planned to pay for the Bay Bridge’s new approach in the city used by East Bay commuters.
Nor would the toll be levied on those San Franciscans traveling on Doyle Drive from the Marina to the Richmond District.
And here’s something else to think about: Those other folks, especially those traveling from the East Bay to San Francisco, have the option of squeezing onto BART in addition to the buses and ferries enjoyed by North Bay commuters.
Right now, the Metropolitan Transportation Commission and the San Francisco transportation people are hoping that the Golden Gate Bridge, Highway and Transportation District, which collects and spends the current tolls on the bridge, will agree to collect another one or two bucks from bridge users.
The only other way to do that would be to get state legislative dispensation and set up separate electronic toll collection facilities. At the moment, the Golden Gate people are mulling the idea.
If such a charge were levied on the Bay Bridge, which has seen tolls quadruple since the Loma Prieta Earthquake, I wouldn’t bet my FasTrak transponder that it would be greeted with such enthusiasm by the members of the MTC.
Still, ordinary logic would seem to dictate that if you want to levy a congestion charge, it ought to be done first on the people who are most likely to avoid the congestion.

From: Simply Recipes
2 cups milk
2 whole cloves
Pinch of cinnamon
4 egg yolks
1/2 cup sugar
1 cup cream
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 teaspoon freshly grated nutmeg
2 Tbsp each of rum and bourbon or brandy, or to taste
In a large bowl, beat the eggs until they lighten in color (can use a mixer for this or use a whisk to do by hand). Slowly beat in the sugar, whisking until fluffy. Combine milk, cloves, cinnamon in a thick-bottomed saucepan. Heat on medium heat, slowly heating mixture until it is steaming hot, but not yet boiling. Temper the eggs by slowly whisking the hot milk mixture into the eggs. Pour the mixture back into the saucepan. Cook on medium heat, stirring constantly, until the mixture reaches 160°F, and it begins to thicken slightly (helps to have a candy thermometer, but not necessary). Do not allow the mixture to boil, or it will curdle (if this happens you might be able to save it by running it through a blender). Remove from heat and stir in the cream. Strain to remove the cloves. Let cool for one hour. Mix in vanilla extract, nutmeg, and bourbon and brandy (can omit for kid-friendly eggnog). Chill.
Optional: Beat egg whites to soft peaks. Add a teaspoon of sugar and continue to beat until stiff peaks. Fold into eggnog. Makes 1 quart. Serves 4-6.

For specialists, training is by necessity focused on a narrow area of the body or a particular organ system. I believe, however, in treating patients and their neurological problems in a more wholistic way, recognizing that healing is often best achieved through multiple approaches. When possible, I recommend non-surgical care and prefer minimally invasive techniques over more invasive ones. I work closely with other local physicians, therapists, pain management specialists and other caregivers to provide the best combination of treatments for each individual I see.
A native of the Rocky Mountain West, our family moved to Colorado in 2021. Outside of the hospital and clinic you can find me backpacking, skiing, biking, sailing or playing golf in the mountains, lakes and fairways in the area, often with one or more of my kids sharing in the adventure.

Welcome to the World, Kosovo
Posted by jonathanfryer on Sunday, 17th February, 2008
There was jubilation on the streets of Pristina today, following the parliament’s declaration of Kosovan independence. Thus Europe gets its newest nation, born out of years of often violent tension between ethnic Albanians and Serbs. EU and other international institutions will continue to play a role in Kosovo, not only to help protect its territory, but also to try to ensure security for the Serbian minority, most of whom opposed the state’s quest for independence. There have been angry demonstrations in Belgrade, and Russia has decried Kosovo’s move. Some commentators in Moscow are portraying it all as a dastardly US-led Western led plot, in language reminiscent of the Cold War.
Tomorrow, in Brussels, EU Foreign Ministers will be discussing how to react, though alas, once again as in the recent history of the Balkans, they are unlikely to present a united front. Whereas countries such as Britain, France and Germany are likely to offer early recognition to the new country, at least three — Cyprus, Romania and Slovakia — are said to oppose this. Cyprus, of course, worries that the Turkish-occupied north of the island could see an independent Kosovo as encouragement to pursue its so far unsuccessful attempt to persuade anyone other than Turkey to recognise the self-styled Turkish Republic of Northern Cyprus. Amd many Romanians worry about the possiblity of Hungarians in Transylvania pressing for secession. Slovakia’s situation is a little more complicated, as it actually pressed for its ‘velvet divorce’ from the Czech Republic, leading to the break-up of Czechoslovakia.
From the EU’s point of view, the important thing now is to limit any fallout from the Kosovan declaration. And it will be trying to work with democratic forces in Serbia, including the recently re-elected president, to ensure that Serbia pursues its own EU vocation. Before the end of the decade, in principle, the whole of the Western Balkans could achieve EU membership. Solving regional differences should in principle be easier inside the EU than outside.

Look inside a multi-grade classroom and you’re likely to see small groups of children working on different aspects of a bigger project. You might also see them working together at stations to solve problems. Sometimes you’ll see older children teaching younger peers, and other times you’ll see them grouped into age levels. Any time you look, what you’ll see is classrooms set up to empower the students to do a lot of the work of the classroom, and to do it in flexible groups.
The concept of mixed-age classrooms certainly isn’t new. It was the norm in one-room schoolhouses across the country where children of all ages were taught in a single classroom. Schools now take a more strategic approach to the concept, choosing to have only two grades together, or combining certain grades and leaving other classrooms as single grades.
There are many advantages to multi-grade classrooms. Younger children benefit from modeling by older children, who get to be leaders and helpers. It expands academic opportunities; if children are taught in ways that work for different learners, then it’s possible to group students together to work on different skills. This has practical advantages; a third grader with great reading skills can get the benefit of fourth grade-level reading but is still in the right place for their social emotional health.
A less tangible advantage is that multi-grade classrooms support a culture where grade levels aren’t that important. Children develop friendships in all grades. They become accustomed to being with and working with people of different ages — a skill they’ll need throughout their lives.
The Friends School uses a combined approach where all elementary school classrooms after kindergarten are comprised of two grades. One advantage of this, says Nell Sears, Director of Studies at the school, is that students are able to stay with the same teacher for two years. "In any class, it takes a while for students and teachers to get to know each other,” Sears explains, “but that relationship is a prerequisite for deeper learning. Staying with a teacher for two years achieves that prerequisite but still allows for changes to keep the learning experience fresh.”
Mixed-grade classrooms work best when they are thoughtfully designed, intentional, and built with input from the school community. It can be tricky to juggle different developmental levels in one classroom. Schools must be ready to support students with learning challenges who enter classrooms as the younger grade, or they can become stressed by comparing themselves to the older kids. “Multi-grade classrooms require teaching in a certain way,” Sears says. “The social aspect is a really important part of a teacher’s job.”
The trick, says Sears, is to be flexible and thoughtful about structuring combined grades. When her school considered expanding, says Sears, “we realized that we could go to traditional grade levels. But the faculty was very clear that we wanted to continue to commit to this model because of the advantages.”
“Academically, there’s more flexibility,” explains Nowak. “A first grader working at a high level in a subject can join second graders and be challenged. Or, conversely, if a second grader needs more time to work on a skill, then can work with others — first graders — who are still practicing that skill.”
She points to the social and transitional advantages, as well. “About half the class already knows the routine and class culture so it makes it a lot easier to settle into the new year. And kids who have a hard time with transitions or take a while to adjust to a new room and teacher have a much easier time settling back into their second year in a classroom, rather than starting fresh every year.”
Sears says that schools considering multi-grade classrooms should start with a clear process that drills down to see what the purpose of transition is and what the benefit would be; a sort of cost-benefit analysis. The needs, design, and experience will be different for different schools, but adaptability and open communication among faculty are essential, Sears says, adding that when considering a move to multi-grade classrooms, schools would be wise to see how the model works — and doesn’t work — in other schools. The most valuable advice, she says, is to get out and see how mixed age classrooms work in many different settings.
It’s really interesting to see how some previously shy first graders start second grade and carry themselves really differently because they're now the older kids, the leaders in the group. They really embrace this role and take it seriously and I think it helps them grow and gain confidence.

Just before Jackie returned indoors, she witnessed a violent altercation between two robins in a hebe. One was sent packing. We hope it wasn’t Nugget.
This evening we dined at Lal Quilla where the greeting was as friendly and the food and service as excellent as ever. My main course was king prawn Ceylon; Jackie’s was chicken Hariyali; we shared a plain paratha, mushroom rice, and Tarka Dal; and both drank Kingfisher.

An Albuquerque woman accused of killing her husband won't spend time in jail before her trial.
A District Court judge ordered Amy Herrera Friday to wear an ankle monitoring bracelet.
Herrera is accused of shooting and killing Air Force Major Marc Herrera at their Albuquerque home in July.
The incident occurred at a party for foreign exchange students.
KOB Eyewitness News 4 spoke with Marc Herrera's mother after the hearing.
"It isn't exactly what we wanted," Marian Herrera said. "We would have felt much better for ourselves as well as the citizens of Albuquerque if she would have been remanded into custody, but this is the next best thing we could have hoped for."
Police said Amy Herrera told officers her husband shot himself, but investigators later said she admitted to friends that she had shot him.


For Use Between Each Filtration - Wine
Please note: When storing media in a liquid solution, make sure the media is either purged with nitrogen (see lenticular operating instructions) or recirculate the solution through the media before removing it and storing in the same or fresh solution. The 16” media in particular has a large amount of surface area (5m2) and placing a wet, unpurged module in a storage solution can dilute the storage solution to the point where it won’t sufficiently protect the media over time.
Some of the things we love about the Seitz Supradisc II® Lenticular Filters by Pall are that they are back flushable, hot water and steam sanitizable and storable between uses. This means you can use them over and over again without the media warping until they are full of solids or when a regeneration procedure doesn’t bring the differential pressure back down.
In this excerpt, we will discuss the solutions for storing your modules correctly between uses to ensure a longer lifespan and higher total throughput. They are easily stored in a liquid solution and shouldn’t be allowed to dry out as this will cause turbulence during filtration and premature fouling or bypass.
You can either store your modules inside the housing – Pall recommends steaming or hot water sanitizing them after a regeneration (backflush followed by the forward flush procedure) and then placing the drained housing under at least 1 bar (14.5 psi) and up to 1.5 bars of pressure with a food-grade gas like nitrogen. You can also use CO2 but take into account that CO2 is a soluble gas and it will take longer to build up the proper pressure. As long as the pressure does not drop below 1 bar, the media can be stored like this for months. This only works if your seals are sound so that pressure cannot escape over time. Keep in mind that many housings are not pressure rated for gas pressure, only liquid pressure, so for safety sake, don’t pressurize a housing without that certification in hand.
The most common storage method is to store the modules in the housing or in a suitable container with a lid where they can be weighed down to keep them fully submerged in the storage solution. For storage in a solution for longer than two days, we recommend removing the silicone gaskets or O-rings on the modules, otherwise, they will stretch, become brittle and break up into little pieces. A brew fermentation bucket that is not tapered is suitable for the 12” modules whereas food-grade plastic trash cans or Rubbermaid totes with lids are suitable for the 16” modules.
Make sure you that the strength is at least 40 proof but not higher than 135 proof at which point you can start to prematurely age and crack the module cage or storage container over time. This storage solution is good for weeks to months and can be reused multiple times.
When choosing this method, be aware that your module should be purged with gas before storage to ensure that little to no dilution of the alcohol takes place. Remember to bring the backpressure up to 3 - 5 psi when purging to force the gas into all the pores to get most of the liquid out.
If the alcohol % of the vodka is under 20%, you will likely see spoilage organisms start to grow inside the module. Therefore, we only recommend this method for 12” modules. We see a poor distribution of the alcohol, and subsequent spoilage within the depth of a 16” module, unless the ethanol is circulated first. This requires impractical amounts of ethanol.
The manufacturers of cellulose filter media advise against using phosphoric acid or nitric acid solutions or long-term contact with oxidizing sanitizers like peracetic acid. These acids tend to break down the resin that binds the cellulose media together and that can lead to a premature breakdown of the cellulose structure, which in turn can lead to the filter media landing up in your filtered product as well as inconsistent filtrate quality. Running these chemicals through the media just before filtration is acceptable but contact time longer than recommended is detrimental to the media. Some of them can also break down over time, change color and cause off-flavors in the media at which point bacteria can easily start to grow again.
Acceptable acids to store media in include citric and tartaric acid but for the long term, it has to be used in combination with potassium metabisulfite (KMBS) to keep spoilage organisms from metabolizing these bio-essential acids over time. This method is commonly used in the wine industry and modules are stored this way in the long term. Periodic additions of SO2 have to be maintained to keep the modules from spoiling.
These solutions are not recommended, not even at your own risk. Ozone will destroy the media within minutes, as well as Iodophor, which will permanently stain the media. Caustic soda is also not recommended for a contact time of more than 6 cumulative hours, as it is difficult to remove/neutralize and it will also start to break down the cellulose structure after this amount of time.
Whatever storage solution you choose, make sure that you regularly inspect the solution to make sure that your modules are properly submerged, that the gaskets have been removed, and that your solution is still sanitary.
Here is a quick reference guide as a summary:


The all-new 2022 Acura MDX earned the highest possible safety rating from the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety (IIHS). The MDX qualified for the SAFEST CHOICE + (TSP +) by obtaining a high score of “GOOD” in all crash resistance tests, “SUPERIOR” for the Crash Mitigation Braking System (CMBS ™) that is part of standard AcuraWatch ™ driver assistance and safety technology, and “GOOD” for your headlights as standard. The MDX is the brand’s third model to earn the Institute’s highest rating in its 2021 awards program, joining the RDX and TLX,
All sedan and SUV models feature the AcuraWatch ™ driver assistance and safety system as standard equipment, including Crash Mitigation Braking System (CMBS ™), Adaptive Cruise Control (ACC) with reduced speed ranges and Lane Departure Mitigation System(RDL). The 2022 Acura MDX comes equipped with Acura’s Advanced Compatibility Engineering (ACE ™) body structure, designed to enhance passenger protection and break-away compatibility in frontal collisions with a network of connected structural elements that distribute power more evenly across the front of the vehicle and reduce the forces transferred to the passenger compartment. Thanks to Acura’s JewelEye ™ LED headlights, the MDX achieves top marks.
To earn the SAFEST CHOICE + recognition, a vehicle must score well for crashworthiness in all test modes, including the challenging Passenger Side Small Intrusion Test. You also need to have frontal collision avoidance systems (standard on mdx, RDX and TLX) that score advanced or higher in both vehicle-to-vehicle and vehicle-to-pedestrian tests and headlamps with a standard score of good or fair.

Background: Asian patients undergoing kidney transplantation (KT) generally have better renal allograft survival and a lower burden of cardiovascular disease than those of other racial groups. The KNOW-KT aims to explore allograft survival rate, cardiovascular events, and metabolic profiles and to elucidate the risk factors in Korean KT patients. Methods. KNOW-KT is a multicenter, observational cohort study encompassing 8 transplant centers in the Republic of Korea. KNOW-KT will enroll 1,000 KT recipients between 2012 and 2015 and follow them up to 9 years. At the time of KT and at pre-specified intervals, clinical information, laboratory test results, and functional and imaging studies on cardiovascular disease and metabolic complications will be recorded. Comorbid status will be assessed by the age-adjusted Charlson co-morbidity index. Medication adherence and information on quality of life (QoL) will be monitored periodically. The QoL will be assessed by the Kidney Disease Quality of Life Short Form. Donors will include both living donors and deceased donors whose status will be assessed by the Kidney Donor Risk Index. Primary endpoints include graft loss and patient mortality. Secondary endpoints include renal functional deterioration (a decrease in eGFR to <30 mL/min/1.73 m 2), acute rejection, cardiovascular event, albuminuria, new-onset diabetes after transplant, and QoL. Data on other adverse outcomes including episodes of infection, malignancy, recurrence of original renal disease, fracture, and hospitalization will also be collected. A bio-bank has been established for the acquisition of DNA, RNA, and protein from serum and urine samples of recipients at regular intervals. Bio-samples from donors will also be collected at the time of KT. KNOW-KT was registered in an international clinical trial registry (NCT02042963 at) on January 20th, 2014. Conclusion: The KNOW-KT, the first large-scale cohort study in Asian KT patients, is expected to represent the Asian KT population and provide information on their natural course, complications, and risk factors for complications.
Bibliographical noteFunding Information:
We thank all patients who participate in the KNOW-KT, and all the colleagues who contribute to the operation of the study. This research was supported by a fund (2013E3301601) from Korea Centers for Disease Control and Prevention after peer-review by Korea Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.

The Forward MovementMore Like This
Tragedy, abrupt to my very soul,
that left me far from whole.
The withered memory born unto my dreams again,
refreshed and once more binding me by chain.
The reopening scars I once upon a time, thought healed,
gape wide to open for the flood gates, red and revealed.
My witnessing eyes bleed out old tears from a rusted well,
Attempting again to put back out the fires of this age old Hell.
The rising waters find my feet and climb,
the two floods meet, where their cause is rhymed.
My heart from which the blood and tears flow,
now at where the pain does ever grow.
Close these outpouring wounds, build back up the walls...
Make for my feet, the forward movement from where my future calls.
Once again I will shed my skin,
leaving behind the marks of where I've been.
