Republican People's Party (CHP) Chairman Kemal Kılıçdaroğlu has not ruled out forming an alliance with the pro-PKK Peoples' Democratic Party (HDP) in the 2019 general and presidential elections.
According to reports, Kılıçdaroğlu did not provide a thorough answer to a question about possible alliance efforts of his party with the HDP. Explaining that the CHP may make alliances with any party that comes together with his party around the same principles, Kılıçdaroğlu said: "You never know, we may come to terms [with the HDP] on some issues and we may not on some. "Therefore, every party determines certain principles and values in line with themselves. We will see later on what these principles are and which party would adapt them."
Kılıçdaroğlu also commented on CHP Deputy Chairman Öztürk Yılmaz's visit to imprisoned former HDP Co-Chair Selahattin Demirtaş. He said that he gave permission to Yılmaz and that he told the deputy chairman to convey his greetings to Demirtaş.
CHP spokesman Bülent Tezcan said in a televised interview on Monday that the CHP is currently not holding talks with other parties concerning certain figures. "Our chairman previously mentioned an alliance of principles. The principles must be determined first," Tezcan said.
Recent reports contend that the CHP is considering forming an alliance for a possible second round of the 2019 presidential election and will probably enter the general elections without an alliance. CHP sources have said that the majority of CHP deputies are in favor of forming an alliance for the second round of the presidential election if no candidate is elected in the first round.
Kılıçdaroğlu's remarks about not ruling out an alliance with the HDP drew fire from some. HDP politicians have long been accused of voicing support for the PKK terrorist group as well as glorifying suicide bombers, inciting violence and hatred and providing assistance to terrorists.
On Jan. 27, 2015, many grenades, radios, rifles, guns and bullets were found by police in searches conducted in a house in the Ceylanpınar district of Şanlıurfa province. It was found that HDP Şırnak Deputy Faysal Sarıyıldız had intended to send the weapons to the PKK's Syrian affiliate People's Protection Units (YPG) and had driven to Ceylanpınar in a vehicle he bought off two suspects and then registered it in his name.
Another HDP deputy, Tuba Hezer, attended the funeral on Sept. 1, 2015 of a suicide bomber who perpetrated a Ankara car bombing on Feb. 17, 2015 that killed dozens of people, most of them civilians, and wounded 61. Also, many HDP-run municipalities have been caught helping the PKK. A Municipality of Van truck, for example, was found carrying illegal materials used for bomb making bound for terrorists in August 2015. There are still nine HDP deputies in prison while dozens of HDP regional affiliate Democratic Regions Party (DBP) mayors have been imprisoned on charges of aiding and abetting the PKK.

Iron Maiden "The Trooper" Studded/Lace up Leggings
Another one of a kind pair of studded Iron Maiden rocker chick leggings I made using a Trooper t shirt...I decided to go with the red and blue theme of the Union Jack flag that Eddie is holding in the image as well as the text, so I added some panels of red fishnet and long lace up panels reaching from the ankle up to knees, lacing up in red and blue ribbon with lots of silver studs and another mini lace up panel joining the bits of text on the thigh, lacing up in blue. The main fabric is sexy black leather look lycra and the backs are plain black. They are one of a kind and still available to buy from the One of a Kind Rock Leggings part of my website.
Iron Maiden "Killers" Red/Black Studded/Fishnet Leggings
I also made this pair of "Killers" rock leggings with red lycra front and black wet look backs, Iron Maiden text on the right hip and large Eddie image on the left thigh. In keeping with the asymmetry, I added a long lace up panel on the left calf, studded with large silver studs and some panels of black fishnet on the other leg with some silver studded black faux leather in between. This pair have sold but I'm happy to take custom orders-I've already had orders for custom designs based around both these pairs!
Iron Maiden Black & Red Heavy Metal Studded Leggings
This pair is probably my favourite, and the most time consuming! I love the crossed guns logo so went with that on the thigh, fitting below an open lace up panel, showing a bit of skin and the Iron Maiden text on the other leg, surrounded by silver pyramid studs. I wanted to keep them mainly black and silver but also to tie in a bit of red to match the red of the text, so added a red lace up panel on the calf as well as a whole bunch more silver studs. To make them a bit more exciting at the back, I put in some long panels of red ribbon that lace up right to the top of thigh which I think looks pretty sexy. This pair is still available as a one of a kind design, view them on my website by clicking the image!
Custom Iron Maiden "Final Frontier" Studded Leggings
And lastly, here's a quick photo I took of a pair of custom leggings I made using a Final Frontier T shirt the customer sent me. She wanted them in the same style as the Fear of the Dark leggings I made a while ago, with the large "Iron Maiden" text going down one leg with a lace up panel stitching the writing together in the middle and images from the T shirt on the other leg, mixed in with some black lace and antique look pyramid studs. I loved how they turned out, hope she does too....and just as a recap, here's the original pair...

text: Went to the local Olympus company store where I purchased my E-M1 a year ago and got me the E-M5 Mk.II in black today. I haven't shot with it as it's now night time here in Seoul, Korea but spent the past hour going thru the menus and setting it all up in the same manner as I had my E-M1 set up. Initial impressions and random thoughts? - Love the slightly smaller form factor and the overall solidity and density. I shoot primes on m43 and the body size and form factor is great. In black with black lenses, it's a very stealthy setup for a street shooter and a great street camera with it's blazing AF speed and accuracy. However, for those who shoot with anything like a 12-40/2.8 or larger, IMO, the E-M1 is a better fit or at least one would have to put a grip on the E-M5 Mk.II. - With all of the complaints about the front dial being too easy to turn, I was expecting the very worst. In actuality, it's nothing to complain about IMO. Sure, it could have been a bit tighter to turn but nowhere near as bad as I would have thought. To be honest, if they would have made the turning force tighter, I'm sure there would have been an equal number of people complaining that the knob was too tight. For the most part, I shoot in aperture priority and so I have the front dial set to change the aperture with the back dial set to change exposure. - Personally prefer tilting screen vs articulating screen for faster tilt access. I don't do video and aside from very rare cases where I'm doing a portrait mode shot from very low or high positions, the articulating screen is a downgrade for my needs. - AF speed and accuracy is same as E-M1 with brief testing. In other words, blazing fast and very accurate. - I've read reviews stating that there are too many custom buttons but I've set them up and they're easy to find without having to look. I have the "movie record" button changed to "ISO/WB" to have quick and easy access to change those parameters without having to resort to the 2x2 switch. - Camera is smaller than what pictures on the net would have you believe. - The battery release with only a metal tab is a backwards step over the plastic orange tab. Not a deal breaker by any means but it requires more dexterity to release the battery. - The included FL-LM3 flash unit is a godsend for those times you don't want to carry around a dedicated flash unit. Not powerful by any means (GN9) but with it's ability to tilt and rotate along with it's minuscule size there's no excuse not to carry a flash. For a bundled flash it's a godsend and can be great for those times you need slight fill-in light or to serve as a master for an off-camera flash. Anyways, I'll be testing the camera out in the weeks to come and I'm already contemplating going on a 3 day vacation some time over next couple of weeks to have some fun with the camera. It seems every time I get a new camera, I go on a honeymoon vacation in order to get to know the camera. Wasn't able to get as great of a deal last year with the E-M1 where they threw in a HLD-7 grip, extra battery along with a bunch of other stuff. This year, they just gave me an extra battery. The included battery had a 2015 date while the extra battery had a 2013 date if that's of any interest to anyone. The store had a bunch of promotions going with bundled packages that included the 12-50 lens, either grips, 12-40 lens, etc... but since I had no interest in any of the bundled items, I ended up getting just the body. The E-M5 Mk.II along with my Fuji X100 and Ricoh GRD3 will be in my everyday bag. Next month I'll be picking up the Fuji X100T as well as possibly upgrading my Ricoh to the GR. These three cameras gives me nearly 95% of my shooting needs these days.

Brooklyn, one building at a time.
Name: Row Houses
Address: 201-249 Lexington Avenue
Cross Streets: Bedford and Nostrand Avenues
Neighborhood: Bedford Stuyvesant
Year Built: sometime between 1880 and 1886
Architectural Style: Neo-Grec with Queen Anne details
The story: We have a mystery here. The 1880 Bromley Atlas for the City of Brooklyn clearly shows elevated tracks along Lexington Avenue in Bedford. Yet a history of that elevated line states that the trains didn’t start running until 1885. Perhaps they were building them, or were going to start to build them back in 1880, so they put them on the map. Who knows? What is more interesting is the development on Lexington Avenue itself.
We know today that a street with trains rumbling by overhead is not seen as prime real estate, or having optimal living conditions, with noise, lack of sunlight and soot. But back then; this was new technology and new opportunities for public transportation. In 1880, the Bromley Atlas shows there was no development on the north side of the block of Lexington between Nostrand and Bedford. Not a single building. The south side had only one group of row houses, in the middle of the block. What a difference six years makes! (more…)

We had the good fortune of connecting with Alexandra Eldridge and we’ve shared our conversation below.
Hi Alexandra, can you walk us through the thought-process of starting your business?
Very little thought had to go into the making of my business and life. I have done art related jobs (ie. faux finish and murals) before making my art business of painting full time, 20 yrs ago.
A wonderful opportunity to create a tarot deck of 78 cards, The Radiant Tarot, with my collaborator Tony Barnstone, writer of the guidebook, resulted in it’s publication this past year. As an artist, one does not follow a straight and narrow path. The Muse takes you on journeys you never may have suspected.
Let’s talk shop? Tell us more about your career, what can you share with our community?
I am a painter of my dreaming life. I paint for revelation. My work is in the visionary tradition that deals with the imaginative reality of the inner world of feeling and idea. I was fortunate to be raised by artist parents. Watching their discipline and passion for creating their own vision (wrote and illustrated 27 children’s books, portraits, paintings) and being able to send all 7 of us to college gave me the knowledge that one can succeed as an artist.
I started an artist community with my ex-husband, based on the ideas of the English poet and painter, Wm. Blake. Here I came to know that the creative process could give me the possibility of a spiritual path. “Art is a conversing with Eternity.” Wm. Blake
Through the act of painting, my power to access the Imagination, the archetypal realms, had become the essence of my work as an artist.
I have been fortunate that the symbolic, archetypal language I have developed has led to over 40 solo shows. Paris, London, Belgrade, New York, California, and many other cities have hosted my work. This exposure has also led to
over 30 book covers, murals in the Place des Voges in Paris, being featured in many publications of note. Wm Hurt, Steve Buscemi, and Edie Falco are a few on my collectors.
This success has been hard won. I was a single parent and spent years doing faux finish work while I was raising my boys. I would paint every evening after the children went to bed. I had a fierce desire to keep my vision alive. Art remains my daily practice and demands constant attention and discipline.
My latest accomplishment has been the publication of The Radiant Tarot. I created a tarot deck of 78 cards. Animal, plant, and mineral kingdoms are celebrated throughout. The symbolic, archetypal nature of the tarot cards was a natural for me.
Shoutout is all about shouting out others who you feel deserve additional recognition and exposure. Who would you like to shoutout?
Harry and Wende Devlin were artists and writers and my parents. I was able to watch the utter dedication they give to their profession. My father began as a very successful illustrator and when photography took over that field my parents created a nationally syndicated comic strip and wrote and illustrated 27 children’s books. They also painted portraits and wrote and illustrated books on architecture. They changed with the times and demands in order to keep their lives as artists vital and successful!

In the early 1990s, Canada was facing a debt-to-GDP ratio of nearly 80 percent and federal spending had reached 23 percent of GDP. Our debt-to-GDP ratio has already surpassed 100 percent and federal spending has ballooned from a historic rate of 18 percent to around 25 percent today.
Canada was forced to make changes because rising interest rates caused their debt service to consume one-third of all federal revenue. We currently pay only about 6 percent of our federal budget to service our debt, as a direct result of the Fed buying over 3/4 of all newly issued debt and doing so at artificially low interest rates.
In fact, Bill Clinton recently warned that if interest rates were the same today as when he was president, debt payments would increase from $250 billion to $650 billion per year. He acknowledged that as the economy starts to grow, “interest rates will go through the roof, the cost of financing the deficit will be staggering . . .”
Estimates are that within four years and a return to the historic norm of 4.75 percent, interest will cost us as much as all discretionary spending, defense and non-defense combined. We have the advantage of being the world’s reserve currency and subsequently, the luxury of more time to either fix the problem or make it significantly worse.
Canada solved its fiscal problems by drastic reductions in government spending and personal and corporate tax cuts. The Liberal party, in power at the time, slashed the budget by approximately 10 percent over two years. According to Paul Martin, Canada’s finance minister during this time, it was not ideology that led the government to make these dramatic cuts; rather it was “arithmetic,” or, in other words, reality. Even health care spending was reduced and money was given as block grants to the provinces to limit federal risk.

Delhi Excise Policy Case: Deputy CM Manish Sisodia has urged the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) to postpone his questioning scheduled on Sunday in the Delhi excise policy case. Sisodia said that he is also the Finance Minister of Delhi and busy in preparing the national capital’s budget, reported PTI.
According to a PTI report, Sisodia told reporters, “It’s my duty as finance minister to present the budget on time and I have been working 24 hours for it.”
He said that he will appear before the agency by the end of February, whenever CBI summons him. “I have requested the CBI to allow me to come after the last week of February and answer all their questions.”
According to ANI, CBI is investigating at the request of Delhi Deputy CM Manish Sisodia.

— ANI (@ANI) February 19, 2023
Earlier on Saturday, Sisodia in a tweet said that he has been called for questioning yet again, and he would continue cooperating in the investigation. “CBI has called again tomorrow. They have used the full power of CBI, ED against me, raided my house, searched bank locker, but nothing was found against me,” he said. He added, “I have worked to provide good education of Delhi’s children and they want to stop it.” Sisodia added that nothing was found against him during searches.
सीबीआई ने कल फिर बुलाया है. मेरे ख़िलाफ़ इन्होंने CBI, ED की पूरी ताक़त लगा रखी है, घर पर रेड, बैंक लॉकर तलाशी, कहीं मेरे ख़िलाफ़ कुछ नहीं मिला
मैंने दिल्ली के बच्चों के लिए अच्छी शिक्षा का इंतज़ाम किया है। ये उसे रोकना चाहते हैं।
मैंने जाँच में हमेशा सहयोग किया है और करूँगा.
— Manish Sisodia (@msisodia) February 18, 2023
Reacting to the development, Delhi CM Arvind Kejriwal said, “No scam took place in the Delhi liquor policy case. This is a conspiracy against Manish Sisodia.”
The federal agency alleged that the now-scrapped Delhi government’s policy granted licences to liquor traders who favoured certain dealers who had allegedly paid bribes for it, a charge strongly refuted by the AAP. Lieutenant Governor VK Saxena ordered a CBI investigation into Delhi Excise Policy 2021-22 in November last year.
Amid allegations of corruption and irregularities in the drafting and implementation of the policy, the Delhi government reverted to the old liquor policy, blaming LG for the loss of revenue worth crores of rupees.
Sisodia, who also held the charge of the Excise department, was earlier questioned on October 17 last year and his home and bank lockers were also searched in connection with the case.
The agency said that it is now focused on the alleged influence of a “South Lobby” of businessmen and politicians in formulating and implementing Delhi liquor policy to swing it in their favour using middlemen, liquor traders, and public servants.

Time of Day of Vaccination Affects SARS-CoV-2 Antibody Responses in an Observational Study of Health Care Workers.
Wang W., Balfe P., Eyre DW., Lumley SF., O'Donnell D., Warren F., Crook DW., Jeffery K., Matthews PC., Klerman EB., McKeating JA.
The COVID-19 pandemic caused by severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) is a global crisis with unprecedented challenges for public health. Vaccinations against SARS-CoV-2 have slowed the incidence of new infections and reduced disease severity. As the time of day of vaccination has been reported to influence host immune responses to multiple pathogens, we quantified the influence of SARS-CoV-2 vaccination time, vaccine type, participant age, sex, and days post-vaccination on anti-Spike antibody responses in health care workers. The magnitude of the anti-Spike antibody response is associated with the time of day of vaccination, vaccine type, participant age, sex, and days post-vaccination. These results may be relevant for optimising SARS-CoV-2 vaccine efficacy.

Prime Minister defended his policies on schools and universities yesterday against charges that Labour is creating a two-tier education system.
Critics on the Left mistook uniformity as the only guarantee of equality, he said. "They claim that greater diversity, autonomy and choice generate greater inequality or elitism.
They see a conflict between extending excellence and extending opportunity, not just in schools but also in universities and other public services."
At the other end of the political spectrum are "unashamed elitists who do indeed want to limit opportunities to a minority, who argue that more means worse," he said.
It was time to "lay to rest" the "unfinished business of the controversy over selection, grammar schools and the future of the comprehensive", he said.
"The grammar schools provided excellent education but it came at a cost. Children were divided up at 11, far too young an age to be sure of ability. And secondary moderns were inevitably stigmatised," he said.
Mr Blair told a specialist school conference in Birmingham that they were a key part of his vision.
The Government was moving to "a post one size fits all" comprehensive era, he said, with diversity, different types of school and greater freedom to innovate "all with the goal of creating more good schools, in every community but without going back to rigid separation aged 11".
There has been widespread criticism in the education world of Mr Blair's "escalator" of schools under which some are given semi-independent status and others extra money to become specialist colleges whilst the majority remain comprehensives.
Mr Blair has also been accused of elitism over Downing Street's support for the deregulation of tuition fees in higher education which would allow colleges to charge more for some courses and permit leading universities to demand top up fees to reflect their status.
He told the conference that specialist schools were not a means of shutting deprived children out of excellence, but a means of giving them access to it.
"Our reforms are not about encouraging elitism, but about giving more children a fair chance. Reform is not the enemy of social justice and educational advance, but the route to it."
Since Labour came to power the number of specialist schools has risen from 181 to 1,007 and the Government has set a target of 2,000 by 2006. The requirement that schools raise £50,000 from sponsorship to qualify to the status has been difficult for some schools to reach.
David Miliband, the school standards minister, hinted that the rule is to be relaxed later this week for some schools.
The fact that the Government wanted to see more specialist schools did not mean it was going to "lower the quality hurdle", he told the Technology Colleges Trust conference yesterday.
Schools will continue to have to bid for the status and prove they were committed and able to raise standards.

Matthew McConaughey And Woody Harrelson are set to be Hollywood’s next Celebrity Power Couple as they team up to do a show together on Apple TV+. The two Oscar-winning actors are famous for teaming up in Season 1 of real detective, but their friendship goes way beyond that. Fans of either actor know that the two are good friends on and off screen. Woody Harrelson’s self-proclaimed “friendship tours” with McConaughey have become fun antics for the two and valuable opportunities for tireless paparazzi. Now the two plan to bring their friendship back to Hollywood in an unnamed comedy series.
Matthew McConaughey and Woody Harrelson begin this comedy series by noting that instead of playing characters, they’ll be playing representations of themselves and showing their real-life families coming together. Fans can expect the show to talk about some of the extra fun times they had off camera. Taking their real-life friendship and putting it on Apple TV+ for all of us to stream is sure to make for some amazing comedic moments. One can only wonder what wonderful energy the two actors will have now that they are bringing their story to a streaming series. Matthew McConaughey and Woody Harrelson are some of Hollywood’s favorite gentleman actors, and we can’t wait to see them together.
The McConelson Friendship
McConaughey and Harrelson are famous for playing somewhat similar roles. The two are older, attractive gentlemen capable of playing a range of characters from the slightly creepy David Wooderson in Dazed and confused (McConaughey) “Alright, Alright, Alright” or the charismatic but violent Mickey Knox in born killers (Harrelson) to McConaughey’s Oscar-winning performance in Dallas Buyers Club or Harrelson’s complex character in the recently Oscar-nominated film triangle of sadness. And these talented and nuanced actors have met on screen several times: in 1999 EDtv and 2008 Surfer, man. But they got the biggest spotlight when they starred together in their roles opposite each other in 2014 when they played a pair of troubled but bonded partner detectives in the first season of real detective. Since then, audiences are perhaps most fascinated by the harmony they create on screen. But few people knew about their friendship in real life.
Woody Harrelson explained how the two sometimes go on short trips. If you follow either actor on social media, every once in a while your feed will be graced with a sweetheart photo of the two kissing or smiling together on a fantastic getaway. People magazine quoted an episode of The Ellen DeGeneres Show when Woody Harrelson was back in 2019:
“I do a ‘friendship tour’ almost every year. I thought about calling it a ‘bender where I lick my rich friends’, but I was like, ‘No, you know, the friendship tour. ‘Friendship is better,'” he told the Times. “Come on, stay with them, drink unconscious. Great.”
The actors are obviously having a good time together. Apparently, their great relationship helps make them both better actors. McConaughey said in GQ:
“One of the things where (Woody) and I are good at comedy is where I start and he ends and he starts and I end and we really get a similar frequency and roll with it,”
Truly it’s a bromance for the ages. The fact that their personal and professional lives complement each other proves why they have such good energy together on camera. The actors will surely share some of the truth of this energy in this new project they have decided to collaborate on.
McConaughey and Harrelson are working on a comedy for Apple TV+
The two Hollywood stars eventually came together to create a project on their own terms. The comedy they’re working on for Apple TV+ doesn’t have a name, but fans are already excited about it. The actors will play themselves in a story about their families coming to live together on McConaughey’s ranch in Texas. It’s an interesting proposition, considering both actors are actually from the Lone Star State. It’s not so much fiction as it’s a story featuring fictionalized portrayals of both actors. That’s to say; they will play themselves. So if there ever was a time for their friendship to inform a character, it would be now.
They’re going for a kind of “odd couple” vibe, depending on how Apple TV+ describes the potential show. So you can expect to see these deeply complex and dramatic actors throwing themselves into silly sitcom hijinks for the first time. It’s a premise worth checking out, if only to watch these heavy hitters in light comedic situations. Moreover, it is a project that promises to show us the other side of these men. With their families joining them for this wild ride, Matthew McConaughey and Woody Harrelson are sure to provide audiences with a wholesome adventure with plenty of fun mishaps along the way.


GIS Day 2012: Discovering the World Through GIS
As we celebrate GIS Day today, it seems fitting that everyone’s attention has been on maps recently, especially with the election results last week and the devastation and recovery from superstorm Sandy. Perhaps without realizing it, everyone is taking advantage of the power of GIS. Geographic Information Systems (GIS) allow us to visualize vast amounts of data and information to better understand our physical world, political events, cultural changes, disasters, and much more.
GIS Day celebrates the use of GIS to analyze diverse topics in local, state, federal, and international applications. From the breakdown of presidential votes by county in the recent election to mapping shelters and storm recovery efforts, GIS is applicable in almost all situations. In fact, GIS has come a long way in being present in most news stories, organizational projects, and some corporate daily operations. As we celebrate 50 years of GISand how far the industry has come, GIS Day offers a forum to showcase the technology and how people are using it to better understand, be more efficient, and make more informed decisions.
Connected Nation uses GIS daily as an essential part of our mission to inform and advance the understanding and utilization of broadband services. We collect and process broadband coverage information from Internet service providers and then aggregate that coverage to create a comprehensive display of where broadband is and is not available. The resulting analyses of maximum download speed, density of unserved households, and others are created using GIS to enable decision makers. Additionally, Connected Nation continuously develops and refines tools such as the interactive My ConnectViewTM to share and demonstrate the value GIS has in discovering patterns, finding answers, or asking more detailed questions.
GIS will continue to be an integral part of what Connected Nation does to increase broadband access, adoption, and use. We are currently upgrading the interactive My ConnectView application to incorporate new enhancements and are also developing applications that can be viewed on mobile devices, including Apple and Android smart phones. As GIS looks forward to the next 50 years of technology evolution, Connected Nation will continue to embrace GIS in a concentrated effort to know where resources should be directed. It’s the power of GIS that helps us understand the current broadband landscape and use that information to make more efficient decisions, allowing more people the opportunity to realize the benefits of broadband."

And Now for some news ….
Neuroprotection by spice-derived Nutraceuticals
Numerous lines of evidence indicate that chronic inflammation plays a major role in the development of various neurodegenerative diseases, including Alzheimer’s disease, Parkinson’s disease, multiple sclerosis, brain tumor, and meningitis.
Why these diseases are more common among people from some countries than others is not fully understood, but lifestyle factors have been linked to the development of neurodegenerative diseases.
For example, the incidence of certain neurodegenerative diseases among people living in the Asian subcontinent, where people regularly consume spices, is much lower than in countries of the western world.
Extensive research over the last 10 years has indicated that nutraceuticals derived from such spices as turmeric, red pepper, black pepper, licorice, clove, ginger, garlic, coriander, and cinnamon target inflammatory pathways, thereby may prevent neurodegenerative diseases.
How these nutraceuticals modulate various pathways and how they exert neuroprotection are the focus of this review published in the journal Molecular Neurobiology.

Vitamin D and Insulin Resistance and Bone Loss
A study published in the journal European Journal of Clinical Nutrition looked at the association between vitamin D status and insulin resistance (IR) has been less studied among Asians, and it remains elusive whether calcium could modify such an association.
The authors of the study examined the association of serum 25-hydroxyvitamin D (25(OH)D) concentrations with insulin resistance markers and the potential effect modification by calcium intake among a Japanese population.
The study concluded that the authors’ findings suggest that low vitamin D status is associated with insulin resistance among Japanese adults.
In another Vitamin D study – The effect of vegan diet on bone loss has not been studied. The aim of this study was to examine the association between veganism and bone loss in postmenopausal women.
The study was designed as a prospective longitudinal investigation with 210 women, including 105 vegans and 105 omnivores. Femoral neck (FN) bone mineral density (BMD) was measured in 2008 and 2010 by dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry (Hologic QDR4500).
Among the 210 women who initially participated in the study in 2008, 181 women had completed the study and 29 women were lost to follow-up. Lower body weight, higher intakes of animal protein and lipid, and corticosteroid use were associated with greater rate of bone loss. There were no significant differences in βCTX and PINP between vegans and omnivores. The prevalence of vitamin D insufficiency in vegans was higher than in omnivores.
The study concluded that the Vegan diet did not have adverse effect on bone loss and fracture. Corticosteroid use and high intakes of animal protein and animal lipid were negatively associated with bone loss.
As always, discuss all Nutritional recommendations with your Qualified Health Care Provider.

Review of the Hypoalgesic Effects of Exercise
The purpose of a recent article in the Journal of Pain was to examine the effects of acute exercise on pain perception in healthy adults and adults with chronic pain using meta-analytic techniques.
Specifically, studies using a repeated measures design to examine the effect of acute isometric, aerobic, or dynamic resistance exercise on pain threshold and pain intensity measures were included in this meta-analysis.
The results suggest that all 3 types of exercise reduce perception of experimentally induced pain in healthy participants, with effects ranging from small to large depending on pain induction method and exercise protocol.
In healthy participants, the mean effect size for aerobic exercise was moderate, while the mean effect sizes for isometric exercise and dynamic resistance exercise were large.
In chronic pain populations, the magnitude and direction of the effect sizes were highly variable for aerobic and isometric exercise and appeared to depend on the chronic pain condition being studied as well as the intensity of the exercise.
While trends could be identified, the optimal dose of exercise that is needed to produce hypoalgesia could not be systematically determined with the amount of data available.
This article presents a quantitative review of the exercise-induced hypoalgesia literature. This review raises several important questions that need to be addressed while also demonstrating that acute exercise has a hypoalgesic effect on experimentally induced pain in healthy adults, and both a hypoalgesic and hyperalgesic effect in adults with chronic pain.

Master Hanz Cua Sees Hotter 2014, More Disasters
Here’s a fearless prediction by a known Feng Shui expert: 2014 will be a hot year as disasters will continue to devastate parts of the country.
“We will experience hotter weather this year. Rain will be less which will create havoc to the agriculture sector,” said Feng Shui expert Master Hanz. Still reeling from the effects of super typhoon Yolanda that devastated several provinces in the Visayas region last November and killed more than 6,000 persons already, Master Hanz forecast the possibility of another weather disturbance near the strength of super typhoon Yolanda to slam the country.
“It’s the Year of the Horse. The Wood and Fire elements will be dominant in 2014. And because it will be hot this year, water is expected to evaporate fast. It’s effect could trigger strong weather disturbances. Another super typhoon is not far-fetched. Later, we should expect heavy rains and more floods,” said Master Hanz.
Fire is one of the prevailing elements this year. With this, expect heated arguments, anger and ever war on the forefront. There will be tensions in the Middle East and Korea as well.
Master Hanz also foresee another disease of pandemic proportion that might hit the country sometime between April and September.
Sex scandals and love triangles will still heat up due to the appearance of the Peach Blossom Star. “Relationships will also be ‘hot.’ Many people will do everything for love,” Master Hanz said. Yet the year 2014 will be a good year to get married.
One of the good news in 2014 is that the Philippines will maintain good economic growth. It will rise in April, which he said, is a good month to invest in stocks. Master Hanz said that the lucky businesses for 2014 include telecommunications which belong to the Metal Element and restaurants under the Fire Element. Sectors deemed lucky are Southwest, South, West and Center. Northeast, East and Southeast are unlucky. Lucky colors this year are red, orange, yellow, and green.
This year, the Yellow Misfortune Star sits on the Northwest. “Every year, those who practice Feng Shui always take note of the Yellow Misfortune Star because that’s the area where misfortune will likely to hit,”Master Hanz said.
Last year, the Yellow Misfortune Star affected the center sector. “There were earthquakes and weather disturbances that hit the central part of the country.” In 2011, the Misfortune Star hit the East sector where a tsunami devastated Japan, an Asian country located on the east.
But Master Hanz, who is also into face reading, Chinese astrology, and tarot and palm reading, said that these problems can be cured with correct practices and enhancers. “With correct charms and practices, the problem can be cured 90 percent. We still make our own destiny.”
2014 is the Year of the Horse based on the 12-year animal cycle which appears on the Chinese zodiac sign. While the tradition originated from China, Filipinos have embraced the culture of Feng Shui for many years now. The Chinese New Year will be on January 31, 2014.
Master Hanz shares his reading and forecast at Level 1, EDSA Shangri-la Plaza Mandaluyong City or e-mail at firstname.lastname@example.org. Visit website atwww.masterhanzcua.com or contact 0922-8290382. Follow him on Tweeter @ masterhanz168, Facebook and Instagram Master Hanz Cua.

Nephrotic syndrome can occur with many diseases, including the kidney diseases caused by diabetes mellitus, but some causes are unknown. Prevention of nephrotic syndrome relies on controlling these diseases.
Treatment of nephrotic syndrome focuses on identifying the underlying cause if possible and reducing high cholesterol, blood pressure, and protein in urine through diet, medications, or both. One group of blood pressure medications called ACE inhibitors also protects the kidneys in diabetic patients.
Nephrotic syndrome may go away once the underlying cause, if known, has been treated. In children, 80 percent of nephrotic syndrome cases are caused by minimal change disease, which can be successfully treated with prednisone. However, in adults most of the time a kidney disease is the underlying cause, and these diseases cannot be cured. In these cases, the kidneys may gradually lose their ability to filter wastes and excess water from the blood. If kidney failure occurs, the patient will need dialysis or a kidney transplant.

Police in Stoke-on-Trent have warned the public to be wary of the dangers of cash machine fraud after seizing a suspicious device from an ATM in the Meir area of the city on Wednesday night.
Officers advised cash machine users to cover their PIN and be vigilant in case criminals target their cash.
Posting on Twitter just before 10pm, Staffordshire Police said: "Tonight officers have seized a suspicious device from an ATM in the Meir area . #coveryourpin #bevigulant."
Staffordshire Police have dedicated a section of their website to advising the public on how to take measures to ensure their security at cash machines, saying people should be aware of anyone standing close by when they use an ATM, and check whether it appears to have been tampered with before inserting their card.
Officers advise people of the tell-tale signs of ATM fraud: "Things to look out for are devices attached to the machine – some are more obvious than others. If you do see something suspicious contact the police and the bank."
And they warn ATM users to be wary of the tricks used by criminals: "Thieves will watch as you key in your PIN or distract you while you’re withdrawing cash. Be vigilant. Cover your PIN and keep an eye on your card at all times. If someone taps you on the shoulder or tries to speak to you, just ignore them.
"When you've left the ATM, put your card away immediately."

As you already know, sitting at the work computer can make me wish I was dead, an then take its time granting me this sweet release. But all of that changed yesterday, when we finally got a brand new Mac computer. I can't describe the feeling of opening a 10mb file and actually see it on your screen before it's time to go home. action, reaction. Just like god intended. It is such a religious experience that I find myself doubting my hate for apple. Can it be? do I like working on macs? Do I, dare I say it, LOVE working on macs? A tragic love story indeed.
It's not the first time I've been fighting these feeling. I had a vague memory of a strip I've done over two years ago, so I dived into the archive and found this. Hope you enjoy it


We all know the power of style: heels can make us taller in seconds, a dress can make us instantly lose (or gain) weight, and make-up can give us cheekbones, make our eyes bigger – the list goes on. However, many of us are so busy rushing from meeting to meeting or running around after the kids that matching our shoes to our bag can easily fall off our list of priorities.
Yet look around any mall in Dubai and you’re guaranteed to see hordes of perfectly groomed men and women going about their daily business. Ever wondered how anyone outside of Hollywood, with no team of experts to rely on, manages to find the time to look so perfectly coordinated? The truth is many of us need a little extra help – and that’s where a personal shopper comes in.
We met Kelly Lundberg, the brains behind local award-winning styling business Divine, to find out exactly what it all entails. Kelly starts with a home consultation, following it up with a shopping date and then the option of personal packages – with everything from wardrobe editing to shopping weekends on offer.
But what leads someone to choose a personal shopper? ‘A lot of women – and men – just get stuck in a style rut,’ explains Kelly, whose clients range from expat housewives looking for an image overhaul to high society types who can’t be seen in the same outfit twice. And nudging them out of that rut is her speciality. ‘Most of my clients come with an open mind,’ she says. ‘They expect to be pushed out of their comfort zone. The convincing happens when they look at themselves in the mirror and see someone they don’t recognise.’
That’s something we can all relate to. How many of us have found an outfit or specific style we were complimented on five years ago, and have stuck to it ever since? And it doesn’t stop at clothing – hair, make-up and jewellery can be equally daunting to alter. Kelly explains that when new clients try on an outfit and see themselves in the mirror for the first time, it can take some adjusting. ‘The brain needs time to register that the look, although different, is suited to them. There is no better feeling than seeing your client smile because they love what they see.’
But she tends to steer clear of any specific ‘style rules’, of the kind enforced with militant ruthlessness by the likes of British TV style duo Trinny and Susannah. ‘You can only advise,’ says Kelly. ‘If someone wants to buy an item that doesn’t suit them, they will do it anyway. Generally speaking, though, my clients trust my opinion and if I say it doesn’t work, they believe me.
‘When working with clients I focus primarily on their “style personality”, followed by their lifestyle and body shape,’ she adds. ‘Imagine two people with the same body shape, but while one carries the look off, it just doesn’t work on the other. This is because of their style personality.’
Her top tip? ‘Just try it on. You don’t know until you try it – and you might be surprised. When you look good, you feel good. And when you feel good, it affects everyone around you.’
Prices start at Dhs500 for a consultation, followed by Dhs350 per hour for shopping sessions. For information, visit www.divine.ae

The eventual new owner is mulling the idea of building a mixed-use development with a hotel, offices, and retail space, although development plans are in very early stages. The site, once home the Citizens Manufactured Gas Plant, is currently undergoing a remediation headed by National Grid. The plant’s last warehouse structure was demolished years ago. The Smith-Ninth Streets stop on the F and G trains is located a block to the south.

One of the greatest single engineering challenges currently under construction in New York City has risen above ground. That project is the supertall mixed-use residential tower 111 West 57th Street, located just west of Sixth Avenue in Midtown, and we can see the construction progress on the Billionaires’ Row building thanks to several photos posted by YIMBY Forums users.
The stunningly tall towers rising along 57th Street are taking the Manhattan skyline to a whole new level. Despite their relatively small footprints, some projects are actually replacing true architectural gems. Between the end of 2014 and the beginning of 2016, the LeFrak Organization and Vornado Realty leveled three pre-war buildings at 27-33 West 57th Street. Although the latest reports indicated a “seven star hotel,” final plans are still unknown. Given the site’s Billionaires’ Row location and proximity to Central Park, whatever gets built will most likely be very tall, and very expensive.
After the local community board shot down plans for a 30-unit condo at 111 Leroy Street in the West Village in February, Property Markets Group has scaled down the size of their project between Hudson and Greenwich Streets. The developer filed applications yesterday for a 10-story condo building and five townhouses.
Property Markets Group and the Hakim Organization have purchased the roughly 34,000 square-foot property at 42-50 24th Street, in the Queens Plaza section of Long Island City, for $69 million. The site boasts approximately 270,000 square feet of development rights that could go towards a mixed-use project. The property is currently occupied by a taxi company and their old single-story building, although plans for the future have not been disclosed, per The Real Deal. The same developers recently topped out their 44-story, 391-unit mixed-use project a block to the north at 23-10 Queens Plaza South.

The Toy World team joins the nation in offering our respect and gratitude to Her Majesty the Queen. In the words of Paddington Bear: “Thank you Ma’am, for everything.” The next few weeks will be very different to what we had imagined before yesterday’s events. The Entertainer has announced that its stores, head office and warehouse will be closed today as a mark of respect, while BLE organiser Anna Knight has been in touch to say: “We join our colleagues around the world in grieving the loss of a beloved leader. As we await further detail on the United Kingdom’s plans to memorialise Her Majesty, and any resulting impact on Brand Licensing Europe, our promise is to communicate as early and often as possible with you. Thank you for your patience and support.”
Below is the Friday Blog, exactly as it was written before we heard the sad news.
Now that the summer holiday season has pretty much drawn to a close, things are starting to get interesting again. A couple of days ago, I got a call from Gary Grant, who had broken off from his annual store manager’s conference to give me the heads-up that The Entertainer was about to announce a major new initiative.
A few hours later, an embargoed press release found its way into my inbox, revealing that the initiative in question was a deal with Tesco for The Entertainer to take over the running of around 35 of the grocer’s toy departments on a trial basis. One can only assume that someone at Tesco saw what The Entertainer did with Asda last year, very much liked the look of it and couldn’t believe their luck when Asda decided not to move forward with the arrangement.
Kudos to The Entertainer team for not adopting a ‘once bitten, twice shy’ attitude and being willing to enter into a dialogue with Tesco – and good to see that those discussions ultimately led to a deal. In Gary’s own words: “It’s a huge opportunity – we’re taking it very seriously.” And so they should; in its heyday (not all that long ago), Tesco really was a tremendous force in the toy market, driving huge sales for many suppliers and brands. Arguably, the sheen has come off that performance in recent years; the toy team that everyone knew and loved has moved on, while some suppliers have suggested that Tesco has become a little less pro-active and more reluctant to take on new ranges and suppliers. And even when it does agree to open a new account, I gather that it can take anything up to six months to complete the necessary admin – although to be fair, Tesco is not alone in that respect, it seems to be a challenge that toy suppliers are facing with all of the grocers. Inevitably, a combination of these factors may have resulted in some missed opportunities for Tesco in its toy aisles – and one of the real strengths of specialist toy retailers is their flexibility and speed to market.
So, if The Entertainer can bring what it does best to the partnership, it will have access to a huge number of consumers on a regular basis – that has all the hallmarks of a win-win arrangement. I understand that the aim is for the new stores to be open in the second half of October, in time for the all-important festive selling season. And I believe the in-store space given to the Tesco project could be up to three times greater than The Entertainer was allocated in the Asda trial, so it can really go to town with ranging and merchandising. If you add its new Tesco trial stores to its extended ELC footprint in M&S (the partnership will be growing from 10 to 30 stores in the coming weeks), The Entertainer really is strengthening its presence across the retail spectrum.
Of course, The Entertainer also still has its partnership with Matalan to manage its toy departments under the Totally Toys brand, but with the news this week that Matalan is reportedly working with advisors at Lazard to either find a buyer for the entire business or an investor to inject capital, who knows what may happen in the coming months. Matalan’s tribulations also challenge the assumption that value-driven retailers will all be in a strong position in the current economic climate – the truth is far more nuanced.

Redbird Rants co-editor Steve Ungrey offers his thoughts on the injury to St. Louis Cardinals outfielder Matt Holliday and how it could affect the team.
Earlier in the evening, I posted about the St. Louis Cardinals being one or two trips to the disabled list away from potential disaster.
This will teach me to open my big mouth.
In St. Louis’ 1-0 loss to the Cincinnati Reds on Wednesday, outfielder Matt Holliday suffered another quad injury, apparently in the same area that was affected before and cost the All-Star outfielder nearly six weeks.
More from Redbird Rants
- Cardinals Rumors: 3 pros and cons of signing Carlos Rodon
- What’s next for the St. Louis Cardinals after Contreras signing?
- Report: Cardinals Emerge As Mystery Team for Carlos Rodon
- Cardinals: Trade targets after signing Willson Contreras
- Reflecting on the 2013 Cardinals’ top 30 prospects
The Cardinals better hope the news is good, if not better, this time around.
Results of an MRI won’t likely be known until morning, but if there is another quad tear it could cost Holliday another several weeks and perhaps the whole season.
Which begs the obvious question: What would a team that didn’t look to hit the trade market with a vengeance have to do if one of its star players missed a good chunk of time?
The Cardinals need to have a big bat in the lineup. In the past two games the team hasn’t scored at all, and it has left many people wondering if the offense has finally hit a brick wall.
Sure, pitchers like Michael Wacha and Carlos Martinez are still producing. But the fact is they can’t have good games forever. Soon the bats have to warm up, or these pitchers will meet the fate of pitchers like Cleveland Indians star Corey Kluber.
There will be many sleepless nights in St. Louis Wednesday evening.
This may be the night the National League Central race turned in Pittsburgh’s direction.

The Cleveland Indians will begin the New Year with a new third baseman.
The Indians announced this afternoon at 1:30 that they have acquired infielder Mark DeRosa from the Chicago Cubs for minor-league pitchers Jeff Stevens, Chris Archer and John Gaub.
DeRosa, who played six different positions for the Cubs last season, is expected to play third base for the Indians. If that holds true, Jhonny Peralta will stay at shortstop and Asdrubal Cabrera will stay at second base. Last season, DeRosa, 33, batted .285 for the Cubs with 21 home runs and 87 runs batted in. He scored 103 runs.
DeRosa, who apparently is the missing piece to the Indians' infield situation, could bat second in the lineup.
As to why the Indians would put DeRosa at third when he spent most of his time at second base last season, a source close to the club said it would cause the least disruption. The source also said the Indians preferred to keep Peralta at short rather than move him to third. Peralta did play third base this winter in the Dominican Republic.
Stevens is the only pitcher the Indians gave up who is on the team's 40-man roster. Last season, Stevens went 5-1 for the Class AA Akron Aeros and 0-3 with Class AAA Buffalo. The 25-year-old has a career earned-run average of 3.52 during his four seasons in the minor leagues.
Archer, 20, had a 4.29 ERA last season while going 4-8 with the Class A Lake County Captains. He has played three seasons in the Indians' farm system.
Gaub, 23, also pitched for the Captains, going 1-1 with a 3.38 ERA.
DeRosa will make $5.5 million in 2009. Under terms of his contract, which expires after the 2009 season, he receives a $50,000 bonus for being traded. He'll be eligible for free agency after next season.
Among big league second basemen last season, DeRosa ranked third with a .376 on base percentage behind Philadelphia's Chase Utley at .380 and Baltimore's Brian Roberts at .378.
Besides playing 95 games at second, DeRosa appeared in 38 games in right field, 27 games in left field, 22 games at third base and 10 games each at first and shortstop. A source close to the Cubs said third base is his best defensive position.
"The acquisition of Mark DeRosa gives our club an experienced, high character infielder who complements our team perfectly with his professional, right-handed bat and defensive versatility," said GM Mark Shapiro.
The Cubs are a busy team. Before sending DeRosa to the Tribe, they signed infielder Aaron Miles today to a two-year $4.9 million deal to take DeRosa's spot at second base. They are also in negotiations with free agent Milton Bradley and in the process of trading right-hander Jason Marquis to Colorado.
Besides redoing their roster, the Cubs have played a big role in Shapiro's remodeling of the Indians this offseason. He signed former Cubs closer Kerry Wood just after the winter meetings to a two-year $20.5 million contract.
DeRosa could join new teammate Grady Sizemore on Team USA for the World Baseball Classic that begins in March. They have both accepted invitations to represent their country in the 16-team tournament.
Keep checking back today with cleveland.com/tribe for the latest on this deal and others.

Wales Ready to Prove There Is Light at the End of the Tunnel
Byline: By Andy Howell Western Mail
Wales ready to prove there is light at the end of the tunnel Wales look to bash the Boks
Andy Howell 2007-11-23T15:50:26 WALES rugby stars are vowing to put their World Cup misery behind them and usher in the start of a bright new dawn for our national game this afternoon.
WALES rugby stars are vowing to put their World Cup misery behind them and usher in the start of a bright new dawn for our national game this afternoon.
New skipper Gethin Jenkins leads our men into battle against world champions South Africa at the Millennium Stadium, hoping the new-look Welsh team can produce a shock result which makes the rugby world sit up and take notice.
The Welsh players accept that every single one of them is on trial today, with Six Nations places up for grabs and new coach Warren Gatland studying the match with interest on TV back home in New Zealand.
Gatland officially takes up the Welsh reins next Saturday, but his massive impact on the squad is already being noted by the players.
Jenkins and back-row star Jonathan Thomas admit the pressure is on Wales to deliver after the World Cup flop ... particularly with hard-nosed, no-nonsense winner Gatland waiting in the wings.
A victory over the Springboks in the Prince William Cup will come as a terrific fillip, with places up for grabs in the Six Nations opener against England at Twickenham on February 2.
Every player in Wales has taken note of the fact that there is a new coach coming in and everyone knows they have got to go out on the field to impress him, said Jenkins.
This is the chance for the 22 that are involved. We are looking forward to putting the jersey back on again after what happened at the World Cup and proving we can perform on the international stage.
We have got to try to think positively about the future and get back to where we were at our best.
If everything is in place, then we can definitely compete on the world stage.
Jenkins was backed in his assessment of what is at stake today by Thomas, who is ready to tangle with Shalk Burger and co in the key breakdown area.
Thomas accepts the Welsh stars are playing for their very futures at Test level, saying, If we are honest, we are a little bit uncertain of what the future holds for us.
We are the ones who have been given the privilege of wearing the red jersey this weekend and we are out to try and impress the new coach before he comes in. …

Nearly $11 billion of private sector investment was announced for U.S EV and EV battery manufacturing during Q2, and $60 billion of domestic investment has been announced since the signing of the Inflation Reduction Act (IRA). A notable investment we saw from this quarter came from a joint venture between General Motors and Samsung SDI valued at $3 billion. Together, the companies plan on manufacturing battery cells in Indiana beginning in 2026, creating approximately 1,700 jobs.
Additionally, North Carolina saw a hefty investment from Toyota. At the end of May, the company announced it will be investing an additional $2.1 billion in its existing North Carolina battery manufacturing plant to expand production of future Toyota EVs, including the company’s all-new three-row, battery-electric SUV.
The Federal Transit Administration awarded over $1 billion for zero-emission buses and bus facilities. Bolstered with new funding from the Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act, the Low- and No-Emission and Bus and Bus Facilities programs delivered another year of record funding for transit agencies. The FTA awarded $1.7 billion in total, of which $1.1 billion, or 65 percent, went to zero-emission projects, leading to the deployment of nearly 850 zero-emission buses. We highlighted these awards in detail in an earlier digest.
Xcel Energy filed $439 million transportation electrification plan in Colorado, the largest filing by a single utility outside of California to date. The plan includes $145 million to develop a network of up to 580 utility-owned public DCFC ports, $50 million for proactive distribution grid upgrades, and multiple V2X and battery energy storage pilots. The remaining funds are dispersed among a number of EV rebates, charging incentives, and more. Importantly, approximately 20 to 30 percent of the total investment will go towards equity and income qualified customers. The record plan was filed just weeks before Xcel’s decision to withdraw a similar $382 million proposal in Minnesota.
