FOLIC ACID and Generations to Come
Recently an article by Ms. Mae Chan entitled, “Folic Acid Deficiencies May Impact Up to Five Generations Later” was recently published in Cell.com © (October 6, 2013). The entire article is stated below my article. The aspect of the impact of epigenetic risk markers for a deficiency of folic acid is very true, but remember if you eat the proper foods rich in folic acid, reduce body exposure to hazardous materials, heavy metals and other toxicants and keep up a good abundance of glutathione rich foods and natural sources, the body will become over-joyed with its ability to protect and nourish your temple – the HUMAN BODY.
Folic acid has been recognized as one of the B vitamins necessary for good nutrition. Its chemical formula is C19H19N706 and it is slightly soluble in water and easily oxidized in acid and sunlight. It helps in the growth of a healthy blood system and aids the intestinal tract to stay healthy. It has been indicated that up to three milligrams daily would be an adequate amount. The bacteria in the intestines will ordinarily work to combine or synthesize various elements together to form folic acid. When one is exposed to pesticides, heavy metals, mold and their mycotoxins and may other toxic substances this natural process will become interrupted and the loss of natural gut flora will follow. As more natural gut flora is lost the more symptoms of ill health one will have over time, which will lead to chronic disease patterns.
A deficiency of this B vitamin may have serious results for the expectant mother. The condition of a congenital fissure or split in the roof of the mouth, known as cleft palate may be the result of a deficiency in folic acid substances. This is also found in spina bifida and children born with no eyes as found in the early cases of exposure to a pesticide known a benomyl in the late 1980’s and early 1990’s in the USA. The pesticide inhibited AMOG enzyme as a result of reduced folic acid and vitamin B12 levels with acetyl cholinesterase activities. Also, although it is not certain, this deficiency may contribute to other conditions of the newborn child such as horseshoe kidneys (union of the kidneys at the lower ends) a, hydrocephalus (fluid within the cranium), harelip, and heart and brain defects.
Anemia is one of the conditions that may result from a deficiency in folic acid. Individuals taking such drugs as aminopterin, streptomycin and the sulfa drugs or exposed to carbamate pesticides (Example: benomyl or methomyl) must be warned that these drugs destroy folic acid.
The condition known as sprue, where there is a sore mouth, ingestion and diarrhea, may also result from the lack of folic acid. There may also be the result of a shortage of the large red blood corpuscles, the condition known as megaloblastic anemia.
M. Ebbing, et. al., “Cancer incidence and mortality after treatment with folic acid and vitamin B12” (2009) in the Journal of American Medical Association evaluated the effects of treatment with B vitamins on cancer outcomes and all-caused mortality in 2 randomized controlled trials. During the study treatment, median serum folate concentration increased more than 6-fold among participants given folic acid. The results were mainly driven by an increased lung cancer incidence in participants who received folic acid plus vitamin B-12. Vitamin B-6 treatment was not associated with any significant effects. Ebbing, et.al.’s conclusion in this study was that treatment with folic acid (plus vitamin B-12) was associated with an increased cancer outcomes and all-cause mortality in patients with ischemic heart disease where there is no folic acid fortification of foods in Norway.
It is very important to note that the Edding, et.al. study at the Haukeland University Hospital, Bergen, Norawy did not address the interaction of the enzyme B-transferase, which is needed for the metabolism of the B vitamins. Lack of enzyme B-transferase will cause reduction of B vitamin absorption and reduced oxygen levels that may give additional rise to superoxides. And, the study did not identify if the participants in their study did not have the mutated gene of folate/folic acid absorption, which does not allow the vitamin to be metabolized quickly, but slower, thus causing an accumulation within the blood as illustrated in their study. Lack of Vitamin B-6 does cause arteriolsclerosis in humans and other mammals.
It is found abundantly in spinach, watercress and the greens of mustard, beet turnips, parsley, carrots, broccoli and generally in almost all green leaves of vegetables and herbs. It is also found in mushrooms, soybeans and wheat germ. For non-vegetarians it is also found in liver and milk.

Folic Acid Deficiencies May Impact Up To Five Generations Later
Folic acid has been found to boost male fertility, vascular function and even prevent cancer. Writing in Cell, a research team revealed that epigenetic risk markers for disease caused by folic acid deficiency can be passed on up to five generations and could have an impact on developmental risk factors and later risk of disease.
“Although our research focused on genetic mutations which disrupts the break down and metabolism of folic acid, we believe that folic acid deficiency in the diet would have a similar multi-generational impact on health,” explained Dr Erica Watson from the University of Cambridge, who led the study.
The researchers found that when either the maternal grandmother or the maternal grandfather had a specific genetic mutation (known as Mtrr mutation) that caused a folic acid deficiency, their genetically normal grandchildren who did not have the genetic mutation and did not suffer from folic acid deficiency were still at risk of a spectrum of developmental abnormalities.
“It surprised us to find that the great, great grandchildren of a parent who has had a folic acid deficiency could have health problems as a result – suggesting that the ‘sins of your maternal grandparents’ can have an effect on your development and your risk for disease,” said Watson.
“More importantly, our research shows that disease in general can be inherited through epigenetic means rather than genetic means, which has huge implications for human health. Environmental factors that influence epigenetic patterns — e.g., diet, epigenetic disruptors in the environment such as chemicals, etc. – may also have long term, multigenerational effects,” she said.
Folic Acid Fortification
The detrimental effects of folic acid deficiency on development are quite well known, and can include developmental problems such as spina bifida, heart defects and placental abnormalities. However, until now, very little was known about how folic acid deficiency caused the diverse range of health problems in offspring.
As a result, many countries have implemented folate fortification programmes which require folic acid to be added to cereal products.
“Fortification programmes may have reduced the risk of health effects but not eliminated them completely,” said Watson. “Based on our research, we now believe that it may take more than one generation to eliminate the health problems caused by folate deficiency.” Folate is a very important B vitamin, and low levels may be involved in certain carcinogenic processes. If more people could supplement their folate intake from fruits and legumes, rather than from a folic acid supplement it could condition the population to regulate from a natural source as synthetic fortification is far inferior to natural sources of folate. These foods have other cancer-fighting properties and can help protect against other chronic diseases. Inherited Epigenetics
Through another experiment which involved transferring the embryo from the third generation into a normal healthy female mouse, the team discovered that the developmental abnormalities seen in later generation were not passed down genetically.
Instead, the serious defects were the result of epigenetic changes which had been inherited, said the authors.
Epigenetic inheritance refers to the passing of these epigenetic marks from one generation to the next – despite the epigenome, for the most part, being ‘wiped clean’ after each generation, explained Watson.
The team suggested that, for a yet unknown reason, some of these abnormal epigenetic marks caused by the Mtrr mutation, or indeed dietary folic acid deficiency, may escape this normal eradication and are inherited by the next generation.
If these abnormal epigenetic markers that regulate genes important for development are inherited, then subsequent generations may develop abnormalities as a result of the wrong genes being turned on or off, they said.

ACETAMINOPHEN & PARACETAMOL and THEIR REACTION TO GLUTATHIONE
Recently, I co-authored a paper that is being published by the National Registry of Environmental ProfessionalsTM, Glenview, IL for their Professional Journal. The paper is entitled: “Glutathione and Its Role in the Biotransformation of Toxicants.” The paper is a must read paper for anyone who has been exposed to industrial solvents, venoms, hazardous materials, medications and other toxic chemical substances. The paper did not address a primary study that was conducted by J.R. Mitchell (1973) which specifically addressed the protective role of glutathione upon induced hepatic necrosis from exposure to the compound acetaminophen (paracetamol, the international nonproprietary name) an active ingredient in the medication Tylenol®.1, 2, 3a,b
The paper discusses the role of Xenobiotics and their metabolites. A xenobiotic is a chemical which is found in an organism but which is not normally produced or expected to be present in it. It can also cover substances which are present in much higher concentrations than are usual. Specifically, drugs such as antibiotics are xenobiotics in humans because the human body does not produce them itself, nor are they part of a normal diet.
Natural compounds can also become xenobiotics if they are taken up by another organism, such as the uptake of natural human hormones by fish found downstream of sewage treatment plant outfalls, or the chemical defenses produced by some organisms as protection against predators.
However, the term xenobiotics is very often used in the context of pollutants such as dioxins and polychlorinated biphenyls and their effect on the biota, because xenobiotics are understood as substances foreign to an entire biological system, i.e. artificial substances, which did not exist in nature before their synthesis by humans. The term xenobiotic is derived from the Greek words ξένος (xenos) = foreigner, stranger and βίος (bios, vios) = life, plus the Greek suffix for adjectives -τικός, -ή, -ό (tic).4 a, b
Free reactive electrophilic intermediates of xenobiotics can produce damage to important cellular consitituents. Reduced gluathione and the glutathione S-transferase protect cells from this damage by capturing reactive electrophiles before they react at nuceleophilic sites critical to cell viability.5
The metabolism of acetaminophen, an analgesic that at high doses can produced hepatic necrosis, serves as an example of this protective system. A large body of work has shown that one of the principal ways in which acetaminophen produces its hepatotoxicity is via the reactive intermediate, N-acetyl-p-benzoquinone imines shown in Figure 1. This intermediate is apparently a soft electrophile that reacts readily with the strong, soft nucleophile glutathione. As long as the amount of glutathione present at the site of activation of acetaminophen is sufficient to bind the reactive intermediate, no toxicity ensues. However, as was demonstrated in a classic study by Mitchell et al.6, when glutathone is depleted by pretreatment with diethylmaleate, the benzoquinone imine covalently binds to tissue proteins resulting in tissue necrosis. Mitchell et. al.6 were among the first to propose that glutathione plays a fundamental role in protecting tissue against electrophilic attack by xenobiotics.7
Since these early studies demonstrating the protective role of glutathione, many compounds have been shown to form conjugates with glutathione. The protective interaction of glutathione and its primary sulfur dependent enzyme, glutathione-S-transferase play a major role in hormonal regulation of substrate supply to the small intestine. Insulin, glycogen, and catecholamines are the most important hormones that regulate the supply of glucose, fatty acids, and ketone bodies in most tissue. Early studies by W.C. Hulsmann concluded that the direct effect of these hormones on small intestinal epithelium may be modest or negligible, while interaction of streptozotocin-diabetic rat, showed the vascularly profused small intestine diminished glucose utilization. This, however, is probably due to the glucose sparing action of fatty acids and ketone bodies upon intestinal energy metabolism, because of the observation that in diabetes the rate of lactate formation is not decreased.8 a,b, 9
It is very important to note that glutathione plays a major role in detoxification, walling up the toxicants and adding a chain of beneficial mechanisms need to protect one from the chronic effects of hormones, such as thyroid hormones and glucocorticoids that are further stimulated or inhibited upon exposure to thiols/mercaptans.10

Researchers from Liverpool John Moores University and Britain s Health Department studied 1,489 rock, pop, punk, R&B, rap and New Age stars who gained fame between 1956 and 2006, from Elvis to the Arctic Monkeys. The study suggests that the infamous rock n roll lifestyle may not be entirely to blame. has been a sharp spike in serious injuries since the summer, when the regime began bombing rebelheld areas from the air, and doctors say a majority of the wounded they now treat are civilians.

The skulls weren t the only inheritances left by the ancient civilization that have been making waves this week: The supposed end of the Mayan long-count calendar on Friday prompted a wave of doomsday speculation across the globe. This is not the end of the world, this is the beginning of the new world, Johnsen-Moser said at a gathering in Merida of hundreds of spiritualists. It is most important that we hold a positive, beautiful reality for ourselves and our planet Fear is out of place. The supposed 5 a.m. Friday doomsday hour had already arrived in several parts of the world with no sign of the apocalypse. The social network Imgur posted photos of clocks turning midnight in the Asia-Pacific region with messages such as: The world has not ended. Sincerely, New Zealand.

In Russia, a Moscow museum offered salvation from the world s end in Josef Stalin s underground bunker for 1,500. (AP) ANPF-CHEN JIANSHENG/AP cosmic dawn began with a fumbling of the sacred fire meant to honor the calendar s conclusion. Gabriel Lemus, the white-haired guardian of the flame, burned his finger on the kindling and later had to scoop up a burning log that was knocked onto the wooden stage. Still, the white-clad Lemus was convinced that it was a good start, as he was joined by about 1,000 other shamans, seers, stargazers, crystal enthusiasts, yogis, sufis and swamis at a convention center. It is a cosmic dawn, Lemus said. We will recover the ability to communicate telepathically and levitate objects like our ancestors did. Few here believed the world would end Friday; the summit is scheduled to run through Sunday. Organizers of Yucatan s broader Mayan Culture Festival saw the need to answer the now-debunked idea that the Maya, who invented an amazingly accurate calendar almost 2,000 years ago, had somehow predicted the end of the world. The Maya measured time in 394- year periods known as baktuns. Anthropologists believe the 13th baktun ends around Dec. 21, and 13 is considered a sacred number for the Maya. But archaeologists have uncovered Mayan glyphs that refer to dates far, far in the future, long beyond Dec. 21. All of it amused Deyanira de Alvarez, a tourist who snapped a photo of the countdown clock in the Merida international airport showing a little more than two days left to the galactic alignment. My grandmother says that people have been talking about [the world ending] ever since she was a little girl, De Alvarez said, and look, grandma is still here. MARK STEVENSON (AP)

Every Thursday in Express. 173b 2x.5 NEW VERSION! Pepper Assault You probably think you ve experienced an epically bad commute. You won t feel that way after reading Andy Goodwin s story. Two Mondays ago of course it was a Monday Goodwin glanced up from the Express crossword puzzle and saw two cops board his Red Line car at Forest Glen to confront a disoriented-looking man. Just as Goodwin decided to get out of the way by dashing to the doors, he says, the officers released pepper spray. It missed their target, but the 56-year-old Aspen Hill resident got quite a mouthful, and as he stumbled into the next rail car, the symptoms kicked in. My whole throat reflexively clenched, and there was a stabbing pain in my eyes, Goodwin says. His fellow passengers instructed him to use his newspaper as a tissue to mop up my ongoing cascade of tears and mucous. (Side note: Yet another reason to pick up Express!) When it became clear he wasn t recovering, someone called the operator and helped him get off at the next stop, where the station manager gave him water to wash out his eyes. About 90 minutes after the incident, Goodwin could see, speak and breathe normally again, and he continued on the train to his Rosslyn office. The only lasting effects were puffy eyes and some pain caused by clenching his upper body for so long. But his questions from that morning linger, including the biggie: What had that man done that would justify the use of pepper spray in an enclosed space? According to Metro Transit Police deputy chief Ronald Pavlik, the individual in question had been trying to enter an emergency stairwell at the station. The officers tried to get him to stop, but he wouldn t listen and started to get physical. He wanted to go hands-on, NOW WITH RUSH PLUS! DOWNLOAD OUR FREE APP FOR iphone AND ANDROID DEVICES NOW AT THE APP STORE OR GOOGLE PLAY STORE. BEN CLAASSEN III says Pavlik, who explains that there s no set policy for when to use pepper spray. It s based on the circumstances and the size of the suspect and the size of the officer. Although Pavlik says an indirect misting takes only a few minutes to wear off ( It s no different than eating spicy foods, he says), the police do consider who else nearby might catch a whiff. Even the officers themselves can be affected, Pavlik adds. That s why Metro Transit Police use pepper spray only once every three to five months, he estimates, and almost always on platforms or mezzanines rather than in trains or buses. So it s possible Goodwin just had awful luck. It s also possible the officers were a little trigger-happy with their pepper spray. From what Goodwin saw, the individual in question didn t look like much of a threat. And, according to Metro, he was evaluated and sent to a hospital, not jail. I get that pepper spray is a critical tool for officers trying to maintain order while avoiding physical confrontations, and I d much rather hear about errant aerosols than stray bullets. But it d be nice to know there were real guidelines, so we could brace ourselves for a blast of pepper spray during the morning commute. Until then, Goodwin s sticking with his new Red Line routine. You know some of the cars have little Plexiglas partitions? I m probably better off there than where I was, Goodwin says. Those are my seats from now on.

Every parent wants to raise happy kids—and we sometimes inadvertently spend a lot of moments measuring our success as parents by our children's happiness.
We want our kids to experience a joy-filled life. We want them to get the things that they want—more often than not. We want to see the smiles on their faces when they get the new tablet they've been begging for or when they finally get a bike for their birthday.
Supplying our children's physical wants (and of course their needs) plays a big part in satisfying them. But happiness is something that goes far beyond what you give your children—it lies in how you raise them.
What if I suggested that creating deep and lasting happiness for your kids is about much more than gifts? I'm sure a lot of parents would agree with me, but wonder just how to raise happy kids beyond material things.
If you want to raise happy kids, try these 5 things:
1. Give them experiences
Experiences are a way of building and shaping your child. And honestly, they don't always have to be grand expeditions across the country or abroad (though they certainly can be). Experiences start from within—like having them help you cook dinner for the holidays or signing them up for horseback riding or drama club.
Experiences are as simple as introducing them to something they've never done before and making that moment a lasting imprint that they will carry forever.
2. Make memories
As a child, I hold nostalgic memories of building forts in the living room for family movie night, playing hide-and-seek with my siblings and parents, neighborhood cul-de-sac barbecues and so much more.
My memories hold truth of quality time spent with family and loved ones—and that was my parent's key to raising happy kids. They made an effort to spend time with us, to be present in the moments that would eventually become memories.
3. Encourage relationship building
As parents, we have to acknowledge that we will not be our children's only source of happiness. The totality of their happiness will come from many sources combined, so encourage them to build meaningful relationships with others—family and friends alike.
Make an effort to get to know their friends (and the parents), set up play dates for them and encourage their chances to spend time with other family members.
4. Be happy yourself
Your children study you and oftentimes imitate the behavior you display. If you are knowingly unsatisfied or unhappy a lot of the time, your kids will know. And sometimes, they might even blame themselves for your unhappiness.
The state of your emotions has a huge impact on your children's emotions. So how can you be a happier parent? Don't strive for perfection. Make time for yourself. Go on dates with your spouse. Spend time with friends. Do the things you love. Trust me, your kids will appreciate a happy parent—and it'll boost their own happiness along the way.
5. Acknowledge that sometimes they will be unhappy
Out of all of the emotions in the world, happiness is only one of them. In order to help build your children's happiness, you have to acknowledge that sometimes they will be unhappy, too. And you have to let them.
You have to let them have other feelings. You have to let them process their emotions. You have to let them learn how to overcome hardships and find their way back to happiness. You have to be that place of emotional safety for them, a space where they feel they have complete permission to unfold and feel their emotions.
I know that as parents, we don't want to see our children hurt, sad, anxious, broken or stressed. But we have to understand that sometimes, it is beyond our control. And the most we can do in those moments is be there for them, not try to manage their emotions or rush past the unhappiness.
Because by brushing off their other feelings or making them believe that they're not allowed to feel a certain way, it's doing more harm than good—even if your intentions are pure.
There are many ways to raise happy kids that are beyond gift-giving, and while these are just a handful, they're a great start. Raising happy kids can be work, but it's so worth it to see them content and satisfied in life. And remember, the goal is not momentary happiness—it's lasting happiness.

When doing the cross stiches on garments the waste canvas is used.
Baste the waste canvas onto the right side of the regular fabric. Work the cross stitches through both layers of fabric. When all the stitching is done, the waste canvas is cut away around the design. Soak the design in water. This will disolve the starch that holds the threads of the waste canvas together. What is left of the waste canvas can then be pulled out from under the stitches, one thread at a time, with a pair of tweezers.
Material Type: Aida Generic White
Sewing Count: 14/inch or 55/100mm
Design Size: 471 x 215 stitches
Sewn Design Size: 33.6 x 15.4 inches or 855 x 390 mm
Suggested Material Size: 39.5 x 21.3 inches or 1005 x 540 mm
Stitch Style: Cross-stitch Using 2 strands
Plastic / fabric canvas – This is another medium on which cross stitching is done.
This is used for doing beautiful cross stitch designs on homedecor and accessories. The canvas used here is an open mesh. Fabric canvas is more finer than the plastic canvas. You may need to apply interfacing to the back of fabric canvas to use it for anything functional.

In the search for old blogposts worthy of "repurposing" I found this one- which a fellow author (who is also my publisher now) had suggested was so nice, I should use it for my author bio on my website when I became published. I'd TOTALLY forgotten about it until I saw it and so I went to my website and added it on my About Me page as an "introduction before my current Bio.
Once Upon A Time...
In a land far, far away....
The grass shimmered with a hint of blue in the countryside of a little town in Kentucky. Horses and mules whinnied and munched on oats and molasses, hay and licked the salt block.
Amidst the quiet clucking of chickens as they pecked the ground and the breeze caressing her, a young redheaded girl curried the mane of her favorite horse. The massive creature was almost solid black with a white star on her forehead. Midnight Lady, the girl had named the horse.
The sky was pale blue with soft white clouds like pillows, wisping across and the young girl had not a care in the world. All she cared was that she was with her horse, whispering a fairytale in the horse's ear, of riding off into the sunset someday.
Her ideas were simple. She dreamed of having a home and a husband, children, pets and horses. She also dreamed of being a writer. It filled up her lazy summer afternoons, thinking of stories that she could write that might be interesting enough to be published or read by others. She read a lot but she also daydreamed about how wonderful her future would be if she could just have all those elusive things she imagined would make her happy.
Now grown, she has the husband, the children, a pet, no horses of her own, but she can look out the window down behind her house in the country and see the neighbors horses.
And as for writing, well, she's still working on that. Still thinking up stories, still daydreaming it into reality...still chasing that elusive butterfly of her heart.


A 14-year-old girl was raped and left unconscious by a man who splashed petrol over her and then set her family home alight in an attempt at murder, police allege.
Police today charged the man over the Caroline Springs house fire that left the girl fighting for her life with burns to 70% to 80% of her body and in danger of losing a foot.
The 24-year-old accused, from Tarneit in Melbourne’s south-west, was also severely burned on the lower legs after spilling petrol on himself, police allege.
He was refused bail at a closed court hearing at his hospital bedside today, during which police said he had earlier admitted attacking and trying to kill the girl.
"The accused stated he poured petrol onto the victim in an attempt to kill her and destroy evidence," a brief of evidence tendered to the court said.
Police told the out-of-sessions hearing the man was known to the girl, and had visited her home with food and alcohol yesterday morning.
The court heard the pair had watched a movie, listened to music and had taken photos of each other.
The accused then allegedly told police he had a ‘‘memory gap’’ and found himself naked on top of the girl, who was also completely undressed.
The man then dragged the bleeding girl from her bed into a bathroom, where he left her lying on the floor, police told the court.
The man then allegedly drove to a local service station, where he filled a petrol can.
He returned to the house, turned a gas stove on and poured petrol over the girl and throughout the house before lighting the fire, the court heard.
The severely burned girl was found unconscious in the upstairs bathroom about 2pm by firefighters after patrolling police spotted smoke pouring from the house.
Police tracked the alleged offender to an address near Hoppers Crossing train station after speaking to the girl’s friends and family and examining her Facebook account.
The man, who was charged with attempted murder, criminal damage by fire, reckless conduct endangering life, intentionally/recklessly cause serious injury, rape, sexual penetration of a child under 16 years of age and aggravated burglary.
The girl remains in a critical condition in the Royal Children's Hospital. She is in an induced coma and may lose her right foot to her burns.
He was refused bail and remanded in custody to appear at Melbourne Magistrates Court on August 27.

Finnish Embassy seeks to introduce ‘baby box’ for expectant mothers in vulnerable communities
The Finnish Embassy in Namibia seeks to undertake a maternity package known as the ‘baby box’ for expectant mothers in vulnerable communities, according to a statement issued this week.
The baby box is a starter kit containing everything an expectant mother would need for the baby from clothes, sheets and toys and it can also be used as a warm bed for the baby.
Baby boxes have been provided for new parents in Finland since the 1930s, now they are also offered to pregnant women in Scotland and parts of England.
The envisaged move was discussed during Finland’s Ambassador to Namibia, Pirkko-liisa Kyostila courtesy to Namibia’s Prime Minister, Dr. Saara Kuugongelwa-Amadhila, the statement said.
According to the Kyostila the ‘baby box’ project is doable in Namibia through Public Private Partnerships.
Meanwhile, during their discussions the Ambassador also briefed the Prime Minister on various existing business, health and educational projects in Namibia and those that the Embassy plans to undertake in Namibia in the near future.
In terms of education, the Ambassador also informed the Prime Minister that the University of Turku has established the first ever satellite Finnish campus abroad at the University of
Namibia were interested locals can obtain their Master Degrees in Software Engineering.
The Prime Minister and the Ambassador further reminiscence at length about Finland-Namibia’s pre- and post-independence bilateral relationship.
Kuugongelwa-Amadhila said the cooperation between Namibia and Finland dates back more than a 100 years ago when Finnish missionaries arrived in Namibia, adding that most Namibians received their education through missionary support.
She said although bilateral relations between the two countries has experienced adjustments over the years, the relations continues to grow from strength to strength.


Raman microscopy enables a sensitive, label-free molecular imaging of cells. Employing deep-UV (DUV) light for Raman excitation allows selective measurement of nucleotide bases and aromatic amino acids in a cell, without spectral overlapping of components with a large quantity (i.e. lipid, peptide), because their Raman scattering are specifically enhanced due to the resonance effect. To implement DUV resonance Raman imaging of cells, I previously established a home-built Raman microscope equipped with a DUV laser (λ = 257.2 nm). Raman image representing the distribution of cellular nucleic acid can be reconstructed with the intensity of a Raman band selectively assigned to adenine and guanine. Unfortunately, DUV resonance Raman imaging of cells is severely hindered by molecular photodegradation that occurs after a molecule absorbs DUV light during Raman measurement, precluding a high signal-to-noise ratio and repetitive measurement. To address this issue, I developed a technique for molecular protection under DUV exposure; the trivalent ions of lanthanide group including terbium, europium, and thulium could significantly suppress the molecular photodegradation by relaxing the DUV-excited molecules. The buffer solution containing any of these lanthanide ions with the concentration of 100 µM or higher could provide less destruction of the cellular structures, including nucleotide bases, than the one without the ions, under DUV exposure. Utilizing such protective effects of the lanthanide ions, I successfully achieved a twice higher signal-to-noise ratio and repetitive DUV Raman imaging of cells.

Obstetrics and Gynecology Breastfeeding—All pregnant women should be counseled to breastfeed their babies for at least three months after delivery.
Neural Tube Defects—All pregnant women should be counseled to take folic acid to help prevent certain types of mental and spinal retardation conditions from occurring. Social Tobacco Cessation—All tobacco users are to be provided with tobacco cessation counseling. Physical Activities—All individuals are encouraged to engage in physical activity several times per week to improve fitness.
That’s right, with all that can go wrong with our health, with all the diseases, disorders, and dysfunctions that can occur, currently, these are the only federally mandated general counseling standards that your health care provider is directed to talk to you about according to the USPSTF. This is the health counseling that your providers are as certain about as they can be.
You can follow a doctor’s counseling recommendations or not. Not doing so, though, could harm your health. If your physician and his or her staff aren’t counseling you on these subjects, they’re not practicing to the “National Community Standard.” Additional counseling standards exist for three groups: non-pregnant females, pregnant females, and both men and women.

Cool! I had never before heard of this IITPW-theory. That could be just the gravitational anomaly I was looking for. Thanks!
About such a mechanism causing a mass extinction, I fear I got more than I bargained for. Shifting the climate bands like that, would kill of lots of plant life (for instance the Russian pinewoods and Congo basin both lying smack in the middle of desert bands,) release lots of carbon, basically resulting in a kind of "clathrate gun," similar to the PT-extinction. Flooding the atmosphere with such massive amounts of carbon, uses up the oxygen, killing even more life, making it possible for free methane to flood the atmosphere, resulting in a run-away greenhouse effect, killing of more life, releasing even more carbon.
Though I may have a safety net: Some of the tropical rainforests, especially the Amazon, are left in place. The carbon left by the clathrate gun actually stimulates plant growth, while the lack of oxygen takes away large herbivores and the danger of wild fires. So the jungles have a field day! Similarly the algeal blooms in the subpolar regions may regenerate quite quickly. So after an initial global suffocation follows a global oxygen injection, reducing the methane and returning everything back to normal.
Just two things:
1: I have no idea how long this mechanism would take to unfold.
2: I have no idea how severe it would be and how it would effect the human species and its domesticates.
(Scary thought: Isn't this clathrate gun exactly what is going on right now in the real world?)
By the way, you're saying this geography will bust up the thermohaline circulation. Could you elaborate that further?
I have a gut feeling you are right, you see, but I'm still unable to rationalize it.
I think I may be able to finish the continental shelves today, so I'll pbb post a new map this evening.

Start by thinking about the shade of your vehicle, on the off chance that it’s dark, you can search for the best wax for dark vehicles.
Set up your vehicle for waxing
Since you have the correct wax for your vehicle, the following thing is to prepare your vehicle for the application. Start by washing the vehicle. This should be possible effectively by utilizing some gentle cleanser and water. You ought to also utilize a delicate and a spotless towel to do as such. Before you apply the wax, ensure your vehicle is incredibly spotless in light of the fact that wax struggles sticking to soil and residue. After your vehicle is perfect, at that point take it to a carport or some other spot away from direct daylight.
Spot some wax onto the froth tool

FXCM, Effex Capital face more related cases in New York Southern District Court
The number of cases against FXCM and Effex Capital continues to grow, with the legal action launched by Arthur Cardi and other former customers of the broker accepted as related to the case filed by Vantalie Nguyen.
While Effex Capital and its CEO John Dittami are busy contesting claims made in the National Futures Association complaint against FXCM and allege damages including ones suffered as a result of the case filed by Vantalie Nguyen, the volume of legal actions against the broker and Effex is growing. Moreover, a new case filed against FXCM and Effex at the New York Southern District Court has just been accepted as related to the one brought by Nguyen.
According to today’s court filings, the case captioned Cardi et al v. FXCM, Inc. et al (1:17-cv-04699) was accepted as related to case# 1:17-cv-02729, that is, the Nguyen case. The attorneys for the plaintiffs had earlier submitted a statement saying that both actions are securities/commodities/exchange actions with a similar fact pattern and the same defendants. The latest case has seven defendants, including Global Brokerage Inc (NASDAQ:GLBR), Forex Capital Markets LLC, Global Brokerage Holdings, Drew Niv, William Ahdout, Effex Capital and John Dittami.
Is the court decision about the case relatedness important? Well, it may lead to consolidation of cases. Another case, that filed by Doris Murrah, has also been accepted as related to the Nguyen case. Usually, as the number of related cases rise, the assigned judge may review a motion to consolidate them.
We have already seen an example of consolidation of cases against FXCM. In May, four related cases against the broker were consolidated in one “mega lawsuit”. These Securities Class Actions were consolidated for purposes including, but not limited to, discovery, pretrial proceedings and trial proceedings.
Last week, the plaintiffs in this “mega lawsuit” filed an amended complaint against the broker and 18 other defendants, including directors and senior employees at the brokerage accounting department. The plaintiffs had purchased FXCM securities and claim to have been damaged when the February announcements were made by US regulators resulting in the collapse in prices of these securities. The plaintiffs are seeking an award of compensatory damages in an amount to be proven at trial.
The Cardi and the Nguyen cases are brought by former customers of FXCM who claim to have suffered damages as a result of the misleading claims concerning its “No dealing desk” model.

Sarah Burton took on a long journey, figuratively but also not, in search of inspiration for this Fall 2020. She found in Wales ancient stories of garments made with waste and recycled materials. Lee McQueen himself did something similar, so Burton created a collection that followed the traces of these unique stories: recycling, past history and heroic figures intertwine in the autumn of Alexander McQueen and create a unique collection. Tailoring on the one hand, the folkloristic past of the United Kingdom on the other, both have an aftertaste of times gone by, where things were studied in depth and treated in detail, where nothing was left to chance. The references to Wales and its traditions are many.
The strength of the collection is the treatment to which fabrics have goon through. The workings are exceptional, among them the dégradé, which changes the consistency of the fabric in the same panel, combining thickness and finesse, strength and fragility in few centimeters. Prints and geometric shapes, especially in the leather garments, are very interesting. In general, the whole collection is a symbol of strength. The cuts, the bodices, the belts tight at the waist and the rigorousness of the suits seem to create the figure of female warriors.

Learning how to draw clouds that look nice and fluffy can easily be done using a few basic tips. Indeed, you don't necessarily need to add tons of complex digital effects to reach your goal. Using only simple lines and plain colors, it is possible to draw a nice cloud filled with fun patterns that will look amazing.
Clouds are large mass of liquid droplets suspended in the atmosphere. They can have many shape and are even used to predict simple things like the weather. Clouds can be high in the sky on closer to the ground. Of course, they are quite visible when it's raining. In the wonderful world of cartoons, they are usually depicted with a blue or gray color. Near a sunrise or a sunset, clouds can be orange or yellow.
Let's see how we can illustrate a simple cloud filled with basic shapes using the lesson found below ...
The first step below is probably the most important one. Read the following tips carefully. Cartoon clouds can usually be contained in a shape that looks like a diamond. The left and right ends are narrower and located slightly towards the ground. The top is large and made from perfect curved lines.
Near the bottom of the cloud, a few bumps are added in the middle of the illustration. It's also important to use a mix of short and long curved lines. Once the silhouette of the cloud is completed, you can erase the green lines used to create the diamond.
Now that the subject is drawn, you can add plain colors inside this one. A light blue color is a perfect alternative. You can also use a dark blue color for the outlines. Black lines could also do the trick, but working with colorful lines is always more appealing. Nice! This lesson on how to draw clouds is already progressing nicely.
The real fun begins! Near the bottom of the subject, you can add a darker color using more simple curved lines. These new additions are following the path of lines already created on the bottom. Only two small bumps can be seen on top of the new shape.
One in the middle of the cloud and the other one on the right of the illustration. These bumps are important since they are adding more depth to the image.
Now that darker colors were added to the bottom of the cloud, you can sketch a brighter shape on top. Just like we did in the previous step, it can be a good idea to create small bumps on the bottom (and near those created earlier). You can see the new shape below (with a temporary pink outline).
Inside the subject, you can draw a few more curved shapes as shown in the illustration below. The new additions can be darker on the bottom and brighter on top. These simple lines can help make the cartoon cloud fluffier.
You can see the final illustration below. All steps required to create this image are also depicted below the largest cloud. It's now time to use these tips to create more amazing clouds. You can draw larger subjects, use more lines and add simple textures too. Just be creative and try to come up with new angles and new patterns.
Now that we are done learning how to draw clouds using simple shapes, why not try more fun lessons from this site below? A few more clouds are accessible and you can easily incorporate more clouds into the various landscapes available. Remember to practice often and have fun with these additional tutorials. :)

In a surprising turn of events, considering what regularly happens in the games industry, the release date of a game has been changed. It's not that the game has been delayed, oh no! This is the twist. Metro Exodus, which was originally delayed and scheduled to be released on the 22nd of February, will now be released on the 15th of February for the PC, PlayStation 4 and Xbox One.
February is a highly competitive market, though it's starting to seem that the market is almost always competitive now. Metro, had it stuck to the 22nd, would have found itself competing with Anthem. Now, releasing on the 15th, it will find itself launching alongside Dead or Alive 6, Far Cry New Dawn and Crackdown 3.
Despite this, I have high hopes for Metro Exodus. I've played and previewed it twice now, having previewed both the E3 build and then the Gamescom build. I've specifically found it to have a strong mixture of open areas while narrowing the focus when necessary to push forward the story or introduce you to a core new element.
If my previously linked previews don't give it away, I'm looking forward to Metro Exodus. Likely a little too much as it's one of, if not my most anticipated game for 2019. All I can say is roll on February 15th where we get to explore a more expansive, immersive, post-apocalyptic Russia.
