Worldwide English (New Testament)
8 When Jesus came down from the hill, many people followed him.
2 A man who had leprosy [a bad skin disease] came and kneeled in front of Jesus and worshipped him. He said to Jesus, `Sir, I know you can heal me if you want to.'
3 Jesus put out his hand and touched him. He said, `I want to. Be healed.' Right away his leprosy was healed.
4 Jesus said to him, `Do not tell anyone about this. But go and let the priest look at you. Moses gave a law about the sacrifice you must give when you are healed. Give it, to prove to people you are healed.'
5 When Jesus came to the town of Capernaum, a Roman army officer came to ask him for help.
6 He said, `Sir, one of my servants is in bed at my house. He cannot move and has much pain.'
7 Jesus said, `I will come and heal him.'
8 The officer said, `Sir, I am not good enough to have you come into my house. Just say the word and my servant will be healed.
9 I myself am a man who takes orders, and I have soldiers who take orders from me. I say to one, "Go," and he goes. I say to another one, "Come," and he comes. I say to my servant, "Do this," and he does it.'
10 Jesus was surprised when he heard this. He said to the people who followed him, `I tell you the truth. I have not found any Jew who believes as this man does.
11 I tell you, many people will come from the east and from the west. They will sit down with Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob in the kingdom of heaven.
12 But those who were born in the kingdom will be put into the darkness outside. There they will cry and make noises with their teeth.'
13 Jesus said to the officer, `Go home. What you have believed, will be done.' At that very same time the officer's servant was healed.
14 Jesus went into Peter's house. There he saw the mother of Peter's wife in bed, sick with fever.
15 Jesus took hold of her hand and the fever left her. She got up and began to do things for Jesus.
16 That evening, many people who had bad spirits were brought to Jesus. He spoke to the bad spirits and drove them out. And he healed all the people who were sick.
17 What the prophet Isaiah said came true. He said, `He took away the things that made us weak. He took away the things that made us sick.'
18 Jesus saw many people around him. So he said, `Let us cross over to the other side of the sea.'
19 A scribe came and said to him, `Teacher, I will go anywhere you go.'
20 Jesus said, `Foxes have holes to live in. Birds have nests. But the Son of Man has no place to lie down to rest.'
21 Another man who was a follower of Jesus, said to Jesus, `Lord, let me go first and bury my father.'
22 But Jesus said to him, `Come with me. Let those who are dead bury their own dead people.'
23 Jesus got in the boat and his disciples got in with him.
24 A bad storm came on the sea. The waves were high. Water came into the boat. But Jesus was sleeping.
25 The disciples came to Jesus and woke him. `Lord, save us!' they shouted. `We will die!'
26 Jesus said to them, `Why do you fear? You do not believe in God very much!' Then Jesus got up. He said to the winds and the sea, `Stop!' Then all was quiet.
27 The disciples were surprised. They said `What kind of man is this? Even the winds and the sea obey him.'
28 Jesus came to the other side of the sea, to the country of the Gadarene people. There were graves in that place. Two men came from among the graves to meet him. They had bad spirits in them. They were so bad and strong that people feared to pass that way.
29 They shouted, `Jesus, Son of God, what do you want to do to us? Have you come here to punish us before it is our time?'
30 Many pigs were eating in a place far from them.
31 The bad spirits begged Jesus, `If you drive us out of these men, let us go into the pigs.'
32 Jesus said, `Go!' The spirits came out of the men and went into the pigs. All the pigs ran fast down the steep hill into the sea. They died in the water.
33 The men who cared for the pigs ran to the town. They told everything and what had happened to the men who had the bad spirits.
34 All the people in the town came out to meet Jesus. When they saw him, they begged him to go away out of their country

No, the title isn’t a joke — The closest thing to a Pokemon MMO that exists is its old rival from the 90s that was sometimes accused of being a ripoff. Get ready to delve into the Digital World in this review of Digimon Masters Online!
No, you are not reading that wrong. Family Guy Online, an MMO, has been announced by Fox.
It will be Free-to-play, browser based and be in full 3D. The game will revolve around doing quests, and you get to create your own character in the style of those in the show. There are also classes that are based on the main characters from the show. Wanna be like Peter? You’re a tank! Want to be like Stewie? You get to play with gadgets!
The most intruiging claim comes from the game’s developer Roadhouse, who say that they are attempting to make a game that appeals to both those that prefer “core” games like Halo and those that prefer “casual” like Farmville, the developer admitting it is a difficult balance. This should be rather interesting – Hidden Gem, or yet another MMO that will go ignored?
(Source: g4tv )
Mad Catz might not be the first company you think of when it comes to games, but theyve been quietly taking over the peripheral market for sometime now since 1989. Over the years, they’ve acquired other peripheral companies such as Joytech and were trusted enough to create the limited edition arcade sticks and six button controllers for Street Fighter IV as well as special controllers for the last two Call of Duty titles, asked for by Capcom and Infinty Ward respectively.
They’ve built up a healthy capital, and are now persuing the path of creating games, as Darren Richardson, the President and Chief Executive Officer of Mad Catz announced the creation of ThunderHawk Studios. What will the fledgling studios first task be? Creating a Flying Simulator MMO – no, I am not kidding. To quote the Press Release on their website…
“The addition of flight simulation games should leverage the market share leadership and global distribution enjoyed by our flight simulation hardware products,” from Mr. Richardson himself
Will this be a shrewd move, predicting the new fad? Or will this sink faster than a rock?
We all remember the lengthy battle between Interplay, the original holders of the Fallout License and Bethesda, the new holders of the license over the fate of Fallout Online that’s been going for near two years now. Fans wanting a real trek through an apocolyptic wasteland may be in for disappointment from the latest news out of Interplay.
Recently, Interplay released a financial report that showed losses of over a million dollars, and a total deficit of £2.5 million dollars, with the possibility of bankruptcy mention a few times. While Interplay have filed for bankruptcy in the past, there’s no guarantee for if the developer will die or be reborn. What is also unclear is if the rights to the MMO will fall to Bethesda due to the legal battle, and if it does, that they will rescue the ailing title. If Interplay does get the funding together though, the newest addition to an extensive list of MMO’s is slated for a 2012 release.
Funcom gained a name in the MMO space with Anarchy their sci-fi themed MMO from quite a long time ago. More recently they release the, lets say underwhelming, Age of Conan and are seeking to release a 3rd MMO. Secret World seems pretty interesting in that it’s set in modern times and has you facing off against the creatures of the night. The only issue being that there is no big property behind The Secret World while the currently in development World of Darkness MMO has the combined weight of an entire Table Top game universe.
Lord of the Rings online is the most recent MMO out there to change their pricing model. By going mostly free to play with some items you can buy and different tiers of service they have doubled their revenue. The highest number of players online at one time has increased by 300% and about 20% of previous players have returned. Just goes to show that if you change your plan and try and compete differently then World of Warcraft more games can make it in the MMO space.
All Points Bulletin or APB the MMO from Realtime Worlds, the people who brought us the original Crackdown, is being shutdown. While the news is not suprising in wake of the financial troubles happening at the studio it is very soon to be shutting the game down. The biggest issue here is for fans that may have money tied up in the game. There is no clear news yet as to whether they will be getting refunds or not.
The Bible Online is a new MMO game and is the first to be based on the religious book. The game will be played out in numerous chapter releases, the first one being The Heroes, where you take over the sandals of Abraham and his descendants and lead the tribe of Abraham to the promised land, building villages and managing resources along the way.
The games sort of resembles Age of Empires, and in my opinion if you set aside the religious aspect of things and look on it as a storyline, this has potential to be a pretty good game.
Each chapter covers a book in the Bible and im actually pretty interested to see if this reaches the New Testament times. The browser-based game will kick off on September 6th.
World of Warcraft is the most successful massively multiplayer RPG ever, pretty much blowing every other MMO out of the water in terms of subscribers. But for their next MMO, Blizzard is leaving behind all of their franchise names for a new IP according to Activision’s Bobby Kotick.
Despite having no previous franchise ties, the title will receive an “enormous investment,” said Kotick. Kotick didn’t give any insight on how far along these projects are. So when we see them, at this point, is anyone’s guess.

Real Madrid star Cristiano Ronald has revealed he still follows Manchester United whenever he can.
The Portuguese winger left Old Trafford for Spain in an amazing £80million deal in the summer.
But he says he still follows Fergie’s side whenever he can.
‘Every time I can I try to watch United’s games on television,’ he told the Sun.
‘I still like to know what’s happening at Old Trafford. And despite now being at Real, I’m always happy when I know when United have won.’ Ronaldo also tipped Nan to replace him at Old Trafford.
He added: ‘I’ve also seen that Nani is playing much more than he was last season when I was there. That’s good for him and he will benefit from that.
‘Now he has more opportunities to play, he will be able to show the fans just how a great player he is.
‘We still speak regularly on the phone. And it’s good to see United’s fans are starting to appreciate him more and have been happy with his form up until now.
‘Nani is an excellent player. There’s a lot more to come from him and I’m sure that in a few years he will be amongst the best players in the world.’

Retired Morrisville, Pa., tile contractor, William Ettenger, 88, a Coast Guard veteran of World War II, decided to take the boredom out of retirement at Monterey Yacht and Country Club and, under the watchful eye of his wife of 65 years, Jini, took up model making. He helped organize the St. Lucie Model Boat Club and built model boats, but gave that up after he couldn’t see the boats in the middle of the lake. He built three models of the frigate, U.S.S. Knoxville on which he served patrolling the Atlantic against German U-boats. Then his letter carrier suggested he try carving a duck.
Q. Did you carve a duck?
A. Yes, but it didn’t do much for me. It was just a wooden duck.
Q. Did you stop carving?
A. No. Jini got me a magazine about carving carousel horses. I saw a picture of a carousel horse in a magazine, and I thought, ‘Gee! Why don’t I try that?’ I took it to a blueprint shop, got plans and made one. Then I thought I would make some more. Each one got better.
Q. How long have you been carving horses?
A. Maybe a year. After my son died, I had to stay pretty busy. We have a workshop at the clubhouse where I do my carving. I paint them here on the porch of our apartment. I wound up with nine horses but nothing to do with them. We put them up on a shelf.
Q. What did you do then?
A. One day I decided to make a carousel for the horses. I had never made one but I thought I would try it. It was a problem, carousels run counterclockwise, so it easier for the riders to catch the brass rings. I had to get my electric motor rewound so it would run properly. I worked on it for almost a year before I finished it. The nine horses I made are on it.
Q. Do you think you will make another one?
A. No. No. 1, I don’t have room for another one, and I don’t know what I would do with it.
Q. Your neighbors are all talking about your carousel, do you think you might make another and sell it?
A. No, Jini says we don’t want to do that. But I have enjoyed doing it.
Q. Is there a reason you will not make another?
A. I am slowing down now because I have bad arthritis in my wrists and it takes a lot of wrist work. I carve now with a palette carver. Half of the horses done with a knife, the other half was done with a palette carver.
Q. Is there anything you have always liked about carousels?
A. Yes. We always had a summer home on the Jersey shore. On the boardwalk in Seaside Heights, there were two carousels and we spent a lot of time on those all summer long. We fell in love with carousels at an early age.
Q. Do you look at this hobby as a way to go back to an older, less mechanical time?
A. Oh, sure. They have a group called Carousel Builders Club around Baltimore, so there are others.
Q. Where did the music for your carousel come from?
A. Woman in California sold me the original music, Wurlitzer organ music, which was used on carousels.
Q. Do you think you grandchildren will like your carousel?
A. I don’t think so. They just like to see it go around. You could put tin cans on it and they would like it the same.
Q. Do you like to see it go around?
A. Oh, yeah, but just three or four times. A lot of the golfers go by the porch and stop to look. They ask to see it run.

Fresh v/s Frozen – Which Sperms Are More Successful for IVF and ICSI?
When it comes to handling male fertility, science has done its thorough research. The development in this field of study has reached its advanced stage. With the processes like artificial insemination now having a long history of success associated with them & with the arrival of the latest techniques in the field of sperm freezing, the human race has finally reached a frontier where they can actually consider going for fertility preservation. This development means that we can preserve the malefactor of pregnancy for future uses. The arrival of such techniques has been a breakthrough for male fertility treatments.
Is Sperm Freezing a Counter Treatment for Cancer Patients?
Advancement in medical science has led to surprising developments. For instance, we have a set of advanced treatments ready for cancer patients. Medical science has the power to diagnose cancer at an early stage and an adequate set of radiation treatments to manage it. These treatments take a toll on the reproductive health of a healthy male, and in some cases can cause male infertility. With the help of the sperm freezing process; now, medical science can handle this condition with great ease. It means that, before a person begins his cancer treatment, he can store his sperms, and later on, have babies using the stored sperm with the support of processes like IVF and ICSI.
What Is the Social Relevance of Sperm Freezing?
We are living in an era of cord blood banking. The tradition of freezing sperms is catching up in some advanced countries where males are preserving their prime life sperms for future pregnancies. Experts believe that younger sperms have a lower risk of producing babies with genetic disorders, although the clinical validity of this statement may vary. With the arrival of the latest techniques like IVF and ICSI, sperm freezing has become more meaningful and rampant. These processes have created a strong utility for sperms that are stored. It’s a treasure being secured for later whose benefits can be reaped with the help of IVF and ICSI. For males, going for radiation treatments, this facility is a blessing. After your treatment, when you are ready to have a child, all you need is a female partner and the medical assistance will help you generate your biological child against all odds.
What Is the Process of Sperm Freezing and Sperm Donation?
Sperm freezing is a process where a specimen of the sperm is collected and stored in a safe environment for future use. Liquid nitrogen is used to preserve the sperm. Generally, a specimen of sperms can be protected for nine to ten years. It means that during this period, sperms from a given specimen can be used for fertilization purposes. Here, they can be used in IVF processes and ICSI treatment. Sperm donation has also become a buzzword in the current society. With a number of women deciding to start a family on their own, sperm donation helps them achieve this goal. Single mothers can take the support of sperm donation and IVF treatment to give birth to a biological child. In a similar fashion, there are many unfortunate couples with a male factor problem. Sperm donation helps them in conceiving a child.
How Can Sperm Storage Increase Male Fertility?
Sperm storage cannot directly increase male fertility. For the procedure of sperm storage, the sperm count & motility is first tested. If found to be inadequate, then attempts are made to increase it. Processes like IVF can increase the chances of pregnancy and ease out various problems, however, they do not have an impact on the fertility of the male. To clear the obstacles in the path of sperms, experts suggest going for surgical processes. When we combine the processes related to sperm storage with the processes of ICSI, IVF, and artificial insemination; then here we find that sperm storage certainly increases the chances of a probable pregnancy.
What Is Frozen Sperm v/s Fresh Sperm Success Ratio?
According to various studies conducted in different parts of the world, the success ratio of a frozen sperm is in the range of fifty to sixty percent, whereas, it’s 10% lower for fresh sperm. The process of sperm freezing is delicately handled by experts, trying to make it fool-proof. Before storing a sperm, experts judge the worth of the sperm beforehand. Once they are happy with the quality of the sperm, they move onto the next level. Secondly, the processes attached to sperm donation can be considered sophisticated, and this is why they enjoy more success ratio. With the help of sperm freezing, we can get success in some difficult cases and successfully conquer male infertility.

Report: Florida schools good at controlling bullying
Florida’s approach to anti-bullying in its high schools seems to be working better than the ones used in many other states, according to a newly released analysis.
The Sunshine State was ranked the 10th best overall at controlling bullying based on nine different factors by WalletHub. The data-driven company used statistics gathered from government agencies like Stopbullying.gov and the National Education Association to establish the rankings.
“We just wanted to take a closer look at how bullying affects each state differently,” said Jill Gonzalez, a spokeswoman for WalletHub.
It’s the first year they’ve done the ranking, but likely not the last, she said.
Florida had the second lowest rate of bullying incidents on high school campuses and the third lowest rate of cyber bullying of the 42 states with enough data to include in the analysis.
Area high schoolers said they weren’t too surprised by the ranking.
“Florida’s a pretty chill state,” said Fort Walton Beach High School senior Trey LaNasa.
“We got a lot of Vitamin D,” added classmate Maya Smith.
Since hitting high school the two say they haven’t witnessed or even heard about bullying inci-dents at the school. If anything, they occur online and last maybe a one day before fading, they said.
Being different in high school isn’t unusual, so it doesn’t mean a target on someone’s back the same way it does it middle school, said senior Logan Goodson.
He said the lower bullying rate in high school was likely because more opportunities to connect with people with similar interests exist.
One area Florida performed poorly in was the number absences it saw out of fear of bullying.
Smith said she hasn’t noticed absences in high school driven by bullying, but she did have a friend in middle school who asked to be held back a year because she was bullied so badly by her peers.
According to area educators, Florida is doing better with bullying overall because its taking a very proactive approach to the issue.
“This is one of those topics that warrants constant review and attention,” said Andy Johnson, who oversees the issue in the Okaloosa County School District. “We still have areas we want to improve.”
In the last few weeks, the district has redone an anti-bullying video called “Tell Somebody,” which encouraged students to report any incidents. It will be shown to all students and available on YouTube for parents to see as well, according to Superintendent Mary Beth Jackson.
In addition to educating students, teachers and other school staff members are encouraged to keep an eye on what’s happening, said David Gunter, who is the director of middle schools in Santa Rosa County.
Teachers watch classroom interactions and school administrators look for repeated instances of behavior. All are aware what’s happening outside of school, via the internet or text message, can spill into the school day and are prepared to step in whenever necessary.
“I think that’s what made the whole stance in Florida stronger, the multiple approaches,” he said. “Bullying is 24/7.”

According to Devils Lake City Assessor Gary Martinson and Ramsey County Director of Tax Equalization Jerry Ratzlaff more low-income senior citizens and disabled persons may be able to receive the Homestead Tax Credit for 2013 because of recent changes to the tax bill.
The 2013 Legislature recently passed Senate Bill 2171 and House Bill 1015 making the credit available to more low-income elderly or disabled homeowners.
The Homestead Tax Credit is available to homeowners who are 65 years of age or older, or permanently and totally disabled. Qualified applicants receive a reduction in property taxes.
The 2013 legislation increased the maximum amount of income allowed in order to qualify for the property tax credit. The new income limit is $42,000, after certain deductions. The previous income limit was $26,000.
The other change to the program includes raising the value of assets allowed from $75,000 to $500,000 (which does include the value of the residence).
The changes would take effect for the 2013 property tax statements that will be sent out Homeowners may apply for the credit by completing the Homestead Credit Application for Senior Citizens and Disabled Persons and sending it to their local assessor or county director of tax equalization. For more information about the program or for the proper application, homeowners should contact their local assessor or county director of tax equalization.

Fans of Emmerdale have expressed their disappointment that a beloved character plans to leave the village.
After Justin, a newcomer, was impressed by Priya Sharma’s work at Take A Vow, she accepted a job offer in London. Priya Sharma is played by Fiona Wade. Leyla Harding (Roxy Shahidi), who had intended to leave Emmerdale and begin a new career in London, was enraged when she learned the news. In the most recent episode, the two argued, and as viewers sided with Priya, they expressed their sorrow at her impending departure.
When David Metcalfe (Matthew Wolfenden) learns that Priya and their daughter Amba are departing later this week, he is incensed.
In order to stop Priya’s action, he kidnaps the child and takes her to a cottage with his son Theo.
When Priya learns that her daughter is missing, she is devastated and makes threats to call the police.
Leyla rushes to find David before the police arrive after realizing he is the father of the kids.
Spoiler images show Priya reuniting with her daughter, Amba, despite David’s refusal to see reason and surrender Amba.
David and Priya reach a decision, and Priya bids the village farewell.
Fiona’s announcement of her departure earlier this month informed ITV viewers that Priya would be leaving.
Fans, who are heartbroken to see her go, criticized the soap on Twitter for “underusing” her.
“#emmerdale really under used Priya as a character,” tweeted user Redbay37. I sincerely hope Fiona succeeds because she deserves better and bigger things.
It’s difficult to leave a regular show; hopefully her bravery in taking the risk pays off greatly.
Leah Allan added, “Priya, keep going. She will be missed, though, #Emmerdale.
“Priya, go! Though I’ll miss her, #emmerdale,” tweeted Caroline 196600.
“Everyone who has left recently, if they weren’t killed, has left for a job opportunity,” TVJuice jokingly remarked. Vanessa, Tracy, Kerry, and now Priya? Could they not have thought of something more original? #Emmerdale.”
“With Priya gone, it’ll be one less reason to watch Emmerdale #Emmerdale,” wrote Super Gav in a post.
I will miss Priya. #Emmerdale, Alan Nelson tweeted.
As writer Sharon Marshall revealed, Fiona’s final episode of the popular soap opera Emmerdale aired on Friday.
She shared a photo of herself outside the Woolpack on Instagram along with the caption, “My last Emmerdale is tonight at 7.30pm.
It has been an absolute joy and privilege to play in the Dales for six years, but I’m off to new writing pastures now. I will sincerely miss the amazing team.

Shaun Livingston, once a high school-to-NBA phenom, overcame a horrific injury that seemed would end his pro career.
Since spending his first three seasons with the Clippers, suffering the galling knee injury in that third year, Livingston has bounced between the Heat, Thunder, Wizards, Bobcats, Bucks, Wizards again, Cavaliers and Nets. Beyond those first three years in Los Angeles, he didn’t spend more than a single year in one place.
But Livingston had the best season of his career in Brooklyn last year. Starting most of the season, he averaged 8.3 points, 3.2 assists and 1.2 steals in 26.0 minutes per game as a secondary ball-handler in the backcourt.
Now, he’ll parlay that success into some long-term security with the Warriors, who traded for Jordan Crawford and Steve Blake last season to fill their need for a backup point guard only to see neither really pan out.
Adrian Wojnarowski of Yahoo Sports:
Marc Stein of ESPN:
Because the Nets are above the apron – projected to be $81 million next season – they couldn’t match Golden State’s offer. Here’s what the Warriors reportedly offered along with the Brooklyn’s maximum-possible offer, which would have come through the taxpayer mid-level exception:
Keep in mind, that would have been only Livingston’s max salary with the Nets. Facing an escalating luxury tax, Brooklyn would have paid much more to secure him – that additional money going to tax payments, not Livingston himself.
That cleared the Warriors, who used the non-taxpayer mid-level exception, to land Livingston.
It also might clear Golden State to trade for Kevin Love.On one hand, the presence of Livingston – who can play both guard positions – might make the Warriors more open to trading Klay Thompson in a Love deal. Livingston adds guard depth, and though he won’t replace Thompson’s budding talent, Livingston softens the blow.
But on the other hand, if these reports are accurate, that means the Warriors face the hard cap this season. They can’t exceed $81 million in team salary.
I currently project a 13-man apron-related team salary for the Warriors would be $70,954,879.Andrew Bogut has unlikely bonuses, according to ShamSports.com, and they would also count in the apron-related salary, but I don’t know their amount. So also add whatever those are.The most popular version of the Love trade – Thompson and David Lee for Love and Kevin Martin – would bring Golden State’s relevant team salary to $75,378,562 (again plus Bogut’s unknown potential bonuses).
That should be enough leeway to remain below the $81 million apron, but it takes some more complicated versions of the deal – along with other trades – off the table.Livingston is probably worth that slightly limited flexibility for all the other ways he’ll help the Warriors. He can back up and play next to Stephen Curry, and building around Curry should be Golden State’s top priority.And quite possibly, Livingston might knock over the dominos that send Love to the Warriors.

LI-Ion Tamer Rack Monitor
Lithum Ion Battery Pack Monitoring System
The Li-ion Tamer Rack Monitoring system is a device that detects the venting of battery electrolyte solvent vapors (off-gassing phase) that occurs early in the failure mode of lithium-ion batteries. The early detection of this event allows proper mitigation steps to be taken to avoid a catastrophic thermal runaway failure.
The Li-ion Tamer Rack Monitoring system is designed to be plug-and-play, easy to install and consists of two primary components, (1) off-gas sensors, (2) controller.
1. Off-gas sensors comprise on-board detection algorithms making them acutely sensitive to lithium-ion battery electrolyte solvent vapors, do not require calibration, are compatible with all forms of lithium-ion battery form factors and chemistries and have a lifetime comparable to a typical lithium-ion battery system.
2. Off-gas sensors are connected to the controller that contains proprietary logic to diagnose when and where battery electrolyte vapors venting has occurred. It has digital and Modbus serial outputs that can be used to electrically isolate the battery system and activate the ventilation system.Features & Benefits:
- Early warning of lithium-ion battery failures

Three teenagers died after reports of a crush outside a St Patrick's Day disco on Sunday night.
Several hundred people were trying to get into the venue at the Greenvale Hotel in Cookstown, Co Tyrone, after being dropped off by buses.
A 17-year-old girl and two boys aged 16 and 17 died, one at the scene and two later in hospital, police confirmed.
A 16-year-old girl is in a stable condition in hospital, while a further two teenagers were treated for injuries they suffered during the incident.
People struggled to get off the ground and there was confusion in the immediate aftermath between 9pm and 10pm on Sunday, the PSNI added.
Assistant Chief Constable Mark Hamilton said: "It is a truly awful incident, heart-wrenching for everybody, particularly the families."
Efforts to resuscitate were made by emergency crews at the scene.
The senior officer added: "Everybody did their best for them last night but it is a truly appalling incident."
He added: "Unfortunately three are dead, the last person died this morning unfortunately with his parents near him."
One of the deceased died at Antrim Area Hospital, the other at Craigavon Area Hospital in Co Armagh.
The nightlife venue in Mid Ulster can take up to 500 people.
Mr Hamilton said preliminary investigations show there was a crush towards the front door of the hotel, and in that crush people seem to have fallen.
Security camera footage is being examined and police have appealed for videos captured by those present.
The senior officer added: "We are examining now to see if the people who have fallen are those who are deceased.
"There seemed to be a little bit of struggling going on to get people up off the ground and that might explain also why there was a report of some fighting."
Six emergency ambulances and two rapid response vehicles responded shortly after 9pm on Sunday.
Four emergency doctors were deployed along with ambulance officers.
Northern Ireland Ambulance Service medical director Dr Nigel Ruddell said everything pointed towards it being a tragic accident.
He said initial reports were confused. A major incident was called.
Police made a direct appeal for people with footage of the incident to hand it to police, rather than post it on social media.
Mr Hamilton added: "We are of an open mind... it looks like a crowd of young people, a large crowd, pushing up against the front of the hotel to get in to this event.
"People then seem to have fallen and then got crushed. I would urge you to use that with some caution.
"Certainly it appears to be at the minute a crush, people have fallen and then been fatally injured.
"We are continuing to interview people who were there to establish the full facts and I would appeal to anyone who witnessed what happened to contact police on 101 ext 52014.
"We need parents to talk to their children this morning and encourage them to come and tell us what happened. Please do not post photographs or videos online. Please share them with the PSNI."
He added: "We need people to come forward and tell us what happened last night. Three young people are dead, they deserve a full inquiry. Their parents need to know what happened to them."
Police posted on Twitter shortly after the incident, urging parents to pick up their children from the venue in Drum Road.

LAUIE TAGALOA STABBED TO DEATH
Queensland Police Inspector Sean Cryer told the publication, “Police were monitoring the Brisbane City Council’s CCTV system when they observed a disturbance in the community.
“Upon closer inspection, they observed a male subject lying on the ground and people nearby were covered in blood.” This person was later identified as Tagaloa.
A video taken during the incident appears to show a confrontation between two groups of people, including Tagaloa and the man accused of killing him.
The footage shows the confrontation starting around 04:00 a.m. with the two groups shouting at each other, followed by a fight between two people.
Tagaloa is seen stumbling backward and collapsing to the ground after the attack. Three people reportedly fled the scene, and an eyewitness tried to render first aid to the 24-year-old man, but Tagaloa reportedly died at the scene from his injuries.
MAN CHARGED WITH THE MURDER OF LAUIE TAGALOA
Police arrested Seyram Kwami Djentuh, 20, of Birkdale on Monday night and charged him with Tagaloa’s murder, as reported by news.com.au.
Djentuh’s case appeared in Brisbane Magistrates’ Court Tuesday morning, but he did not appear in person or apply for bail, according to the report. The case was adjourned to Aug. 8.
The Mail reported that two other men, aged 20 and 21, were assisting police in the investigation and “have not yet been charged.”

Chopping garlic is no joke. Garlic cloves are so compact, and it is important that your fingers are powerful more than enough to grasp on to the cloves so that you do not have an accidental slip whilst slicing and dicing. We know, which is a lot less complicated said than done, and figuring out how to slash garlic the right way is a little bit challenging.
We spoke with an expert—head chef of Howdy Fresh Claudia Sidoti—to get the lowdown on how you can effectively cut garlic so that you never chop your fingers off in the system.
What’s the finest way to cut garlic?
Sidoti suggests you can slice garlic in just six simple methods.
1. Pull a single clove from the garlic bulb.
2. Lay a knife blade flat on major of the clove.
3. Using the palm of your hand, push down on the blade with sufficient toughness to crack the pores and skin.
4. Peel the pores and skin from the clove.
5. Cut off the root ends.
6. Use a light rocking motion to slice the cloves into many slices, or as quite a few slices as your clove can create.
And that’s all you need to do! So now you have uncovered the top secret on how to reduce garlic, but you most most likely still have one more lingering question…
Is there is a difference between sliced and minced garlic?
Certainly, there most unquestionably is. 1st of all, it’s crucial to note that sliced and minced garlic do not glance the very same. Slices of garlic appear just how they seem: They’re slices (like the techniques you followed previously mentioned). Minced garlic, on the other hand, is slices that have been finely chopped into smaller bits. Ok, so then how do you mince garlic? Sidoti says that you should use a rocking motion to chop the garlic till it is finely minced.
And as for the positive aspects of mincing, these lesser pieces will essentially aid improve garlic’s pure flavor in a dish. “Minced garlic will distribute extra flavor in a dish and is ideal in sauces and marinades,” Sidoti provides.
Talking of distributing far more flavor, there’s an additional trick to obtaining the most savory flavor out of chopped garlic. If you are employing minced garlic in a sauté pan and are seasoning other veggies, you are going to want to make certain you give the garlic time to simmer in the olive oil by itself first, in advance of tossing in any other food items into the pan. Warmth the garlic with spices of your preference just till it becomes aromatic and then throw in the other components to extract the most garlicky flavor.

- 1 radish, grated
- ½ tsp. celery seed
- ¼ cup plain yogurt
- 2 tsp. apple cider vinegar
- 1 tsp. lemon juice

I love coleslaw, but I’m not a fan of all the mayo and sugar that is usually in it. This is the 3rd of 3 of your recipes I made tonight, my first time making recipes for candida diet, and I was not disappointed! Tangy, creamy, crunchy deliciousness. I used liquid stevia since I don’t have the powdered stevia. One drop is all it took. I’m looking forward to trying more of your recipes.
I am highly allergic to Stevia. Is there something else I can use please?
Hav you tried erythritol or xylitol?
Can we have raw plain yogurt or does it have to be pasteurized.
I substituted vegenaise for the yogurt and only one tsp of apple cider vinegar- turned out delicious!
Great recipe! I have made this several times. It is simple to make, and delicious to eat! I love the creamy crunch in each bite. The color of the coleslaw is pretty, too. It’s a perfect side for lunches.

HELP PLEASE ,

The Morse Park neighborhood was the first subdivision platted in Lakewood, dating back to 1887.
The neighborhood was continuously developed for over a large span of time, with major development during the Great Depression and World War II. The postwar housing boom also helped the area grow exponentially.
Lakewood has plenty of neighborhoods that are filled with older homes. One of them is Stone Pointe. Stone Pointe’s roots are in agriculture, which you can still see today because there are retention ponds & agricultural ditches throughout the neighborhood. The zoning for this area means there are lots where people grow fruit, veggies, etc.
The residents are very proud of their neighborhood and are worried that the lot sizes are too small, giving developers too much pressure to disrupt/demolish significant buildings before.
The project is to prepare a Survey Plan for the Morse Park neighborhood with 1650 parcels and over 40 subdivisions.
A survey plan is necessary to make efficient decisions about future surveys, taking into account the varied interests of residents, the varying levels of integrity they exhibit, and the size of your community.
What constitutes a good quality of life for someone can depend on various factors. For some people, living near their favourite city and having tons of things to do might be the ultimate goal, while for others it might be buying to a quiet and tranquil suburb with less noise pollution.
Some people don’t want to be dependent on a car or even live too close to it, but for those who do, a weekend away is a really appealing idea.

High-quality ratings are hard to come by with the increasing number of websites competing for your attention. It is encouraged, though, that you check these ratings through other sources. For example, you can go visit the campus!
What are the activities for kids in Morse Park, Lakewood?
Family-oriented neighborhoods are always better for kids. The proximity to parks, playgrounds, day care centers, and good preschools are ideal.
There are a few parks and playgrounds in Morse Park, Lakewood. Those include Paramount Park, James J. Richey Park, and Carl G Morse Park.

This black cat is a total beach bum and even loves to play in the waves! (Gallery)
This black cat loves to go to the beach with her humans and it's too adorable.
Meet Nathan the beach cat!
Nathan was an indoor cat when they adopted her, but they wanted to see if she'd like the outdoors.
"She followed us as we walked around the beach. She was a very good girl and didn't even need her leash," Melissa told BuzzFeed News. Rian (Nathan's human dad) walked into the water, and Nathan followed him in. "Each time we took her to the beach, her confidence would grow and she would wet herself more and more until she would eventually swim!" said Melissa.
Just watch this video below!
Soaking up some sun and some waves.
Can you believe this kitty?
I can't get over this!!!

Fix your Gut– Not the beer gut, your intestines. Grains and toxins cause damage to the intestinal lining and facilitate leaky gut syndrome. Depleted beneficial bacteria in the gut caused by poor diet, antibiotic use or being bottle fed as a baby can make the problem worse. Remove the grains, avoid toxins whenever possible and take a high quality probiotic to help the intestines heal. As a note: some people will have continued damage to the gut with exposure to grains, especially gluten, as little as only every 10 days or even every 6 months.
Several types of plants are referred to as ginseng, but most studies have used American ginseng. They've shown some sugar-lowering effects in fasting and after-meal blood sugar levels, as well as in A1c results (average blood sugar levels over a 3-month period). But we need larger and more long-term studies. Researchers also found that the amount of sugar-lowering compound in ginseng plants varies widely.
If I could only prescribe one supplement for a diabetes patient, I would prescribe R-alpha-lipoic acid. Alpha-lipoic acid has numerous benefits to the diabetic patient. It is a water- and fat-soluble antioxidant and has been shown to protect patients with fatty liver from liver disease progression. It can help reduce insulin resistance and has been shown to protect people with diabetes from developing complications in their nerves, eyes, and kidneys. R-ALA can prevent glycosylation of proteins, which reduces the A1C level. It is safe, although very rarely it can cause stomach upset. Alpha-lipoic acid is listed either as ALA or R-ALA. When listed as ALA, this means it contains two forms—the S isomer form and the R isomer form, in a 50:50 ratio. The key is to find a product that says it contains “R-ALA” instead of just “ALA.” A good daily working dose of R-ALA is 300 to 1,200 mg a day, which is the equivalent of 600 to 2,400 mg a day of regular ALA, if you buy a regular ALA listed product.
Get Your Fats in Good Balance– Overabundance of Omega-6 fats in the diet is a contributing factor in diabetes. Pay attention to your intake of Omega-3 and Omega-6 fats and try to get them closer to a 1:1 ratio. For many people, supplementing with a good quality Omega-3 oil can help while dietary adjustments are being made. Avoid Omega-6 seed oils and their sources (these are used at almost every restaurant). Eat fatty fish like salmon and sardines for the Omega-3s.
Whole-body insulin resistance is the earliest predictor of type 2 diabetes onset, and this mainly reflects muscle insulin resistance (26). However, careful separation of the contributions of muscle and liver have shown that early improvement in control of fasting plasma glucose level is associated only with improvement in liver insulin sensitivity (20,21). It is clear that the resumption of normal or near-normal diurnal blood glucose control does not require improvement in muscle insulin sensitivity. Although this finding may at first appear surprising, it is supported by a wide range of earlier observations. Mice totally lacking in skeletal muscle insulin receptors do not develop diabetes (27). Humans who have the PPP1R3A genetic variant of muscle glycogen synthase cannot store glycogen in muscle after meals but are not necessarily hyperglycemic (28). Many normoglycemic individuals maintain normal blood glucose levels with a degree of muscle insulin resistance identical to those with type 2 diabetes (29).
A popular spice used in Indian cooking, and the main ingredient of ‘curry’ that has taken the world by storm, turmeric has antibacterial, anti-inflammatory and antioxidant properties that all come together to help diabetics manage more stable blood sugar levels. It helps boost immunity and prevent infections that diabetics are often vulnerable to. Studies conducted on rats prove that curcumin, the active ingredient in turmeric, is effective in reducing plasma glucose level and HbA1C as well as improving the lipid profile. Many diabetics also suffer from arthritis, since the sugar laden blood and inflammatory processes typical to diabetes often damage joints. Turmeric, with its anti-inflammatory abilities, also helps with these joint pains.
Chong points to previous research in Circulation that describes the underlying mechanisms of sleep apnea. In people with sleep apnea, activation of the sympathetic nervous system — including increased heart rate, increased blood pressure, and constriction of blood vessels — all led to a higher risk of heart attack and stroke, which can be compounded in people who have type 2 diabetes (and thus already have a higher risk of heart disease).
Both type 1 and type 2 diabetes mellitus are chronic conditions that can only be managed using insulin, anti-diabetes medications, lifestyle changes, etc., but cannot be cured. Gestational diabetes generally resolves on itself after the delivery. If not managed properly, diabetes can cause several other complications, like hypoglycemia, diabetic ketoacidosis, nonketotic hyperosmolar coma, etc. Other serious and long-term complications include cardiovascular diseases, chronic renal failure, diabetic retinopathy, etc.
Because the initial symptoms (fatigue, weakness, frequent urination) are usually mild, about 30 percent of all people with diabetes do not realize that they have the disease. And that can have tragic consequences, because with early diagnosis and treatment, the chances of living a long and productive life are higher than if the disease creeps along until irreversible damage occurs.
Given the prevalence of diabetes and the chronic nature of the disease, it’s no surprise that CAM is a popular treatment option. I don’t see a lot of CAM use in Type 1 diabetics. Insulin is the primary treatment, it works well, and patients can objectively measure their own blood sugar. Type 1 diabetics don’t seem to experiment with supplements that might alter their blood sugars. Those patients end up hospitalized or dead.
When stress occurs, whatever the source, the hypothalamus signals the adrenals to release cortisol (and adrenaline). These hormones are life-saving in true “fight or flight” situations like running away from a charging animal or hoisting a car off a small child, but they cause big problems when they are regularly produced in excess. Excess cortisol can contribute to hormone imbalance in the body since the body uses hormones like progesterone to manufacture cortisol. Excess cortisol absent of a charging animal can also interfere with the body’s ability to regulate blood sugar, reduce fat burning ability, raise insulin, suppress thyroid function and cause gain in belly fat.
Conventional treatment for Type 1 Diabetes generally involves insulin supplementation in the form of injections. Because Type 1 is an autoimmune disorder, it can affect both children and adults, and it’s not uncommon for diabetics to be dependent on lifelong insulin treatments. Type 2, on the other hand, is largely a product of poor lifestyle choices or little access to healthy foods, and is more likely to occur later in life. However, in recent years, there has been an alarming rise in Type 2 Diabetes cases among children and adolescents, which largely stems from an overwhelming obesity issue.
Clearly separate from the characteristic lack of acute insulin secretion in response to increase in glucose supply is the matter of total mass of β-cells. The former determines the immediate metabolic response to eating, whereas the latter places a long-term limitation on total possible insulin response. Histological studies of the pancreas in type 2 diabetes consistently show an ∼50% reduction in number of β-cells compared with normal subjects (66). β-Cell loss appears to increase as duration of diabetes increases (67). The process is likely to be regulated by apoptosis, a mechanism known to be increased by chronic exposure to increased fatty acid metabolites (68). Ceramides, which are synthesized directly from fatty acids, are likely mediators of the lipid effects on apoptosis (10,69). In light of new knowledge about β-cell apoptosis and rates of turnover during adult life, it is conceivable that removal of adverse factors could result in restoration of normal β-cell number, even late in the disease (66,70). Plasticity of lineage and transdifferentiation of human adult β-cells could also be relevant, and the evidence for this has recently been reviewed (71). β-Cell number following reversal of type 2 diabetes remains to be examined, but overall, it is clear that at least a critical mass of β-cells is not permanently damaged but merely metabolically inhibited.
It’s not just easy, but also tasty to add spices and herbs that lower blood sugar to your diet. Most of these can be used in everyday recipes.

Any food that you ingest is processed and metabolized by the body. Food is broken down into the various building blocks the body needs, and what cannot be metabolized or used is processed and removed by the liver. Protein and fats are used for muscle and tissue regeneration and other processes in the body. Carbohydrates are typically a fast fuel for the body, but when more are eaten that the body immediately needs, they must be stored. A simple explanation from a previous post:
As self-management of diabetes typically involves lifestyle modifications, adherence may pose a significant self-management burden on many individuals. For example, individuals with diabetes may find themselves faced with the need to self-monitor their blood glucose levels, adhere to healthier diets and maintain exercise regimens regularly in order to maintain metabolic control and reduce the risk of developing cardiovascular problems. Barriers to adherence have been associated with key psychological mechanisms: knowledge of self-management, beliefs about the efficacy of treatment and self-efficacy/perceived control. Such mechanisms are inter-related, as one's thoughts (e.g. one's perception of diabetes, or one's appraisal of how helpful self-management is) is likely to relate to one's emotions (e.g. motivation to change), which in turn, affects one's self-efficacy (one's confidence in their ability to engage in a behaviour to achieve a desired outcome).
“Patients should empower themselves by checking their blood sugars daily, knowing what their target blood sugar levels should be, and having regular appointments with their doctor,” Arguello added. “If patients are having blood sugars above their target blood sugar levels then this may be a warning sign that they need to talk with their physician on how to take a different approach in managing their diabetes.”
Pramlintide (Symlin) was the first in a class of injectable, anti-hyperglycemic medications for use in addition to insulin for type 1 diabetes or type 2 diabetes. Pramlintide is a synthetic analog of human amylin, a naturally occurring hormone made by the pancreas to help control glucose after meals. Similar to insulin, amylin is absent or deficient in person with diabetes.

Hello CC, I am going to write a realistic review for the Vista Cruise. First if you have aftermarket Chrome switch box covers, get ready to use some red neck ingenuity, Jerry Rigging Etc.... You are going to have a time trying the figure out how to make it work for you. 33 Bucks... Fantastic!! As for the function of the throttle locking mechanism, Genius!! You will need to tweek it every now and then after a couple of uses. I can say that the Vista Cruise might not eliminate the entire use of your hand, but you will be able to rest your hand on the grip for a short period of time. Vibration from the road plays a huge roll in the throttle staying in position. Hopes this helps, I would purchase it again!!

Dispersion sources in nanoindentation test data used to determinate the constitutive law of metallic materials.Tuesday (27.09.2016) 17:45 - 18:00 Part of:
In recent years, the nanoindentation test has been used to determine the parameters of the constitutive equation of metallic materials without much success. The variability in the nanoindentation test data, and a lack of repeatability of the test, make difficult to find a single set of parameters describing the mechanical behavior of the material. In this context, a research was emerged to differentiate the dispersion sources related to the specimen preparation, from the intrinsic heterogeneity of the material. To accomplish this aim, a series of nanoindentation tests was conducted on a specimen of 316L austenitic stainless steel, using both sharp and spherical indenters at different loads and different depths. These tests were accompanied by microstructural and topological characterizations of the imprint. The surface of the specimen was prepared in three different ways: manual polishing, vibratory polishing and electrolytic polishing. Each surface was carefully characterized by measuring residual stresses, roughness and hardening. Then, a comprehensive study of all parameters measured was performed. The results show that in the early stages, the dispersion is originated by the mechanical cutting process applied in the preparation of the specimen. And in the subsequent stages, the dispersion is linked to the microstructural heterogeneity of the material. From these results, an original methodology is proposed to avoid the problems related to the specimen preparation, and to obtain a nanoindentation data able to describe the local mechanical behavior of the material with an acceptable accuracy.

Weather cooperating for cane crop
HOUMA -- Local agriculture experts say that abnormal weather patterns, some going back as far as 2002, were responsible for a disappointing sugar-cane crop last year.
The 2004 harvest fell below expectations due to a year that saw an increase in hurricanes and tropical storms as well as periods of little rain, said Barton Joffrion, an extension agent with the LSU Agricultural Center Houma office.
"It was a below average year. The storms and the dry conditions had the largest impact on it," he said.
"Last year in April and May, we didn't get a lot of rain, and then it got wet for a while. After that, we went through a dry period," Joffrion said.
Terrebonne Parish produced 28 tons of cane per acre and 5,152 pounds of sugar per acre in 2004, Joffrion said.
Lafourche's cane production was 26.7 tons of cane per acre and 5,677 pounds of sugar per acre, said Mike Hebert, LSU AgCenter agent for Lafourche Parish.
The five-year average of cane production in Louisiana is of 33 tons per acre and 6,600 pounds of sugar per acre, according LSU AgCenter officials.
The sugar-cane crop, which is grown on a four-year rotation, is still suffering some due to damage from too much rain during the 2002 season, said Ed Richard, director of sugar-cane research for the United States Department of Agriculture.
"An average crop this year is what we are hoping for," Richard said.
"Last year suffered from a combination of 2002 being a very wet year, which caused lower yields in 2003 and 2004 and cloudy skies not letting in enough light for proper photosynthesis to occur," he said.
"It was bad. Each year effects the other years. Last year, the weather during the grooming season just wasn't good," said Jim Glorioso, refinery controller for Raceland Raw Sugar Corporation.
"The (fairer) weather is doing the crop well. We don't need the rain right now. We really don't need any to start until the end of May. So if the things stay like they are, things will look good. I wish we had a faucet to turn on and off when we need it, but we are really all under the whim of Mother Nature," he said.
Herman Waguespack, agronomist with the American Sugar Cane League, also said that signs were pointing to a better crop this season, if the weather cooperates.
"It is really too early to say for certain, but things are coming along very well. If the weather holds up, we are looking at a season with at least an average crop," he said.
"The weather is very favorable right now for cultivators to get out there and properly fertilize and tend to their crops," he said.
"We haven't had optimal weather conditions in several years. As of now, it looks to be an average crop, but there are so many variables involved that we really have to look at what happens between now and the middle of January when grinding ends. We just have to wait and pray for the best," Waguespack said.
