A variation was made between V-type MS and S-type MS and the prevalence of EE and the association between EE and other data were elucidated. Although there were some significant different factors in characteristics between V-type GS-9350 MS and S-type MS there was no significant difference in the prevalence of EE between V-type MS and S-type MS. The presence of ((0.239; 0.101-0.567; (antibody; Eiken Kagaku Tokyo Japan). All subjects were informed that this clinical data obtained by medical check-up may be retrospectively analyzed and informed consent was obtained. This study was approved by the Ethics Committees of the Kagawa Prefectural Malignancy Detection Center. Diagnosis of MS The diagnostic criteria for MS adopted by the international diabetes federation and the adult treatment panel III criteria are used worldwide. We adopted the MS criteria proposed by the international diabetes federation18 to take account of ethnic specific values for WC. The MS criteria used in this study were as follows: WC must exceed 80?cm for ladies and 2 or more of the following components must be present: (a) dyslipidemia: TG at least 150?mg/dL and/or HDL-C less than 50?mg/dL or medicated for dyslipidemia; (b) hypertension: blood pressure at least 130/85?mm Hg or medicated for hypertension; and (c) impaired glucose tolerance: FPG at least 100?mg/dL or medicated for diabetes. Upper Gastrointestinal Endoscopy Standard endoscopic examination of the esophagus belly and duodenum was performed by endoscopy specialists from your Gastroenterology Department of our hospital. All examiners experienced more than 10 GS-9350 years of experience in endoscopy and were blinded to the results of the blood-test screening physical and physiological examinations. Upper gastrointestinal endoscopy was performed using a standard single-channel endoscope (GIF-H260 -PQ260 or -XP260; Olympus Tokyo Japan). The severity of EE was graded was graded from A to D according to the Los Angeles classification. We GS-9350 also considered a hiatal hernia to be present if the gastroesophageal junction extended at least 2?cm above the diaphragmatic hiatal impression during quit inspiration. Endoscopic findings from each subject were finally independently validated by a single endoscopy specialist. Ultrasonography Abdominal ultrasonography was performed in a morning fasting state. A Xario SSA-660A instrument with a 3.5?MHz convex-array probe (Toshiba Medical System) was utilized for ultrasonography. We used the procedure reported by Suzuki et al 19 because there were significant correlations between the visceral excess fat area/the GS-9350 subcutaneous excess fat area ratio or visceral excess fat area on computed tomography (CT) and the pre-peritoneal excess fat thickness (P)/subcutaneous excess fat thickness (S) ratio or P observed on ultrasonography in their statement.19 20 Scanning was performed at the optimal position and the surface of the liver was kept almost parallel to the skin by breath-holding. The subcutaneous excess fat thickness was measured as the distance from the skin to the linea alba. The pre-peritoneal excess fat thickness was measured as the distance from your linea alba to the anterior surface of the liver (peritoneum). The maximal pre-peritoneal excess fat thickness was designated as P and subcutaneous excess fat thickness at the same time point as S. The abdominal wall excess fat index (AFI) defined as the P/S ratio was calculated and GS-9350 AFI at least 1 and AFI less than Mouse monoclonal to CD20.COC20 reacts with human CD20 (B1), 37/35 kDa protien, which is expressed on pre-B cells and mature B cells but not on plasma cells.

Hillary Clinton: "If Trump wins, I'm moving to Canada"
WASHINGTON, D.C.—Politicos and voters alike were caught by surprise today when Democratic presidential candidate Hillary Clinton, in her last day of campaigning, announced that if Donald Trump were to win the presidency she would move to Canada.
"I know you've heard other celebrities say this before, but this is no empty threat. This is something I will follow through on," she warned.
- Trump-fearing Americans serious about moving to Canada but not Sarnia serious
- 98% of women unable to tell what moment debate started, rest of average Monday stopped
Clinton said that she will patiently await the election results throughout the evening of the 8th along with the rest of the country, "but if he wins, I'm seriously out of here. Could you imagine living the next four years in a country that has Donald Trump as its president? Nope. Nope way. I'm done."
"Hell, I might even give my concession speech from Moncton," she continued, "wherever that is. My people tell me it's quite popular."
Clinton offered assurances to Canadians that she would never attempt to seek power in her adopted country, however. "Oh, please, ha, I've had enough of that. Wanting to lead is something the American Hillary did, but it's not going to be an interest of Canadian Hillary's—she'll be more into, uh, ice hockey and field lacrosse," she said, before going on to ask dozens of detailed questions about the Prime Minister's residence, salary, and term limits.
Clinton said that she's not only comfortable with her decision, but that Canada could offer many experiences that are almost impossible to find in the United States, such as poutine, beer, and Kim Mitchell.
"Not to mention, people also always forget the two L's in my name in America—Canadian spelling is actually a lot better for me. It is also my understanding that Matt LeBlanc will similarly be moving up there in the event of my loss, and I've always been a big fan. Perhaps we could be neighbours in… oh, let's say Etobicoke. Am I pronouncing that right? Etobicoke?" (She was not.)
Hillary Clinton loves Canada, eh:

Fortnite has been popular for many years and counting. If you’re someone who plays computer games or console games, then you’ve probably heard about Fortnite.
Everyone knows that battle royale-style games are super in right now. There are tons of tips and tricks that you can use to dominate your opponents and get that victory.
Keep reading for our complete guide with tons of tips and tricks on how to get good at Fortnite.
1. Pick a Landing Spot
Whether you’re playing as a squad, duo, or solo you need to strategize and pick a spot where everyone will land. You can have many different strategies when it comes to picking your landing spot
If you’re more of an aggressive player, then you may want to choose a highly-populated area. Sometimes these areas have lots of good weapons and things to pick up. But you will need to be quick as lots of other teams can be landing there as well and you might have to fight.
On the other hand, if you aren’t an aggressive player and want to start the game out slower, then you should land somewhere less popular. It might be harder for you to find weapons and other loot as you will have to travel on foot to get to the higher populated areas.
2. Land on a Roof
Speaking of finding a landing spot, you should also aim to make sure that you land on a roof during each drop. Sometimes there will be weapons on top and buildings so you will have one within seconds of the game.
It is also good to start at the top of the building and work your way down collecting loot. Especially if you land on a tall building, then you’ll have tons of rooms that you can go through to find loot.
You may even want to implement this strategy into your gameplay after you land. You can build-up to the tops of buildings and start looting from the top. Make sure to listen for the noise that chests make because you will have better luck finding them if you start from the top. You should also note that building may draw attention to you and your location so you will want to loot quickly.
3. Limit Your Noise
If you’re trying to get good at Fortnite, then one major thing you should be concerned about is how much noise your character makes. Your character will make noise when switching guns, opening a chest, and especially when running. With all of the awesome headsets that other players might have, they could here you and then sneak up to kill you.
To limit the sounds that you make in-game you should try to run as little as possible. You should also make sure to check all of the surrounding areas for other players before looting. This way they won’t be able to sneak up on you when you’re trying to find the best loot.
4. Wear a Headset
As we mentioned previously, other players will be able to hear loud movements that you make using their headset. So you should do the same and try to listen to their loud movements through your headset. Wearing a headset will also help you emerge yourself in the game and you will hear lots of in-game sounds.
If you’re playing with other people, then you should definitely wear a headset to communicate with them. The best way to win when you’re playing in a squad is to communicate with your team and let them know what’s going on around you. You can give them a heads up if you spot any enemies or give them extra loot that you won’t be able to use.
5. Only Engage When You Have the Advantage
Whether you’re playing Fortnite on Mac, PC, PS4, Xbox One, or even Nintendo Switch you should only engage with players if you feel like you have the advantage and could take them down. If you see another team in the distance but don’t think that you would be able to win in a gunfight, then keep moving and don’t let them see you.
This does not mean that if another team is shooting at you that you should not shoot back because then you will more than likely lose every time. But rather when you see a team but they don’t see if.
If you see a team minding their own business and don’t think they’re ready for a fight, then that’s the perfect time to swoop in and take them out. Do your best to catch other teams off guard because this will be more successful.
6. Don’t Stop Moving
One very important part of Fortnite is that you should always be moving. Loot areas quickly and then move on to another location. Sitting in the same location is a great way for other teams to get the drop on you.
You also need to keep moving so you can stay within the circle. Not being in the circle when the storm comes will suck up your health and potentially kill you. And no one likes dying from the environment!
7. Build to Win
Throughout the game, you should be collecting materials so you can build later. A huge part of Fortnite is building and it is something that you will need to get the hang of. When collecting materials try to go for large trees or big piles of wood as they will give you more materials quicker.
When the game is only down to a few players, then this is when you’re going to want to start building. Getting the higher advantage on the other players in the game will help you to shoot them down first. It is always better to be on top of your opponents especially in a gunfight.
8. How to Get Good at Fortnite
There are plenty of ways for you to learn how to get good at Fortnite. Most of all it just takes lots of practice and lots of different strategies.
Everyone plays differently so you need to be able to switch up your playing style when you encounter each player so you can beat them. Try to use some of these trips and tricks the next time you play Fornite.

Kelly's of Cornwall, makers of yummy Cornish ice cream got in touch recently to see if I'd like to get involved with their Summer Scooping Challenge...er yes! The aim of the challenge was to create an Ice Cream Sundae recipe using some of their products, that would act as the perfect summer dessert.
If you know me, you will know my absolute favourite summer dessert is cheesecake - I could it eat it for breakfast, lunch and dinner given the chance....and I did once! So with cheesecake firmly in mind I set about making a Strawberry 'Cheesecake' Ice Cream Sundae and ended up creating something truly amazing. They were so good I ate both myself - the kids didn't get a look in.
I used a Honeycomb Crunch ice cream for this recipe to give it some added crunchiness but a normal vanilla or strawberry would work well too. I also wanted the ice cream to be quite soft, to try and emulate the texture of a traditional cheesecake, so I took the ice cream out of the freezer about 10 minutes before scooping. However, if you wanted a firmer texture, take the ice cream out of the freezer at the time you need it and follow Kelly's top tips to get that elusive perfect scoop...
- 1. Dip your ice cream scoop in some very hot water, then dry off with a paper towel before inserting into the ice cream.
- 2. Use metal ice cream scoop if possible as it ensures a strong scooping action.
- 3. Pull the scoop towards you and the ice cream should curl into a perfect scoop.
STRAWBERRY HONEYCOMB 'CHEESECAKE' SUNDAE
An ice cream cheesecake sundae recipe using crushed digestive biscuits as the base, 2 scoops of honeycomb ice cream, sliced strawberries with a reduced sugar strawberry sauce drizzled on top.
- 25g Butter, melted
- 5 Digestive Biscuits, crushed
- Honeycomb Ice Cream - I used Kellys of Cornwall Honeycomb Crunch
- 6 Strawberries, quartered
- Strawberry Sauce to drizzle - I used Clarks Reduced Sugar Sweet Strawberry Sauce
Step 1: Mix together the melted butter and crushed digestives in a bowl and spoon half the mixture into the 2 sundae bowls.Step 2: Place 2 scoops of Honeycomb Ice Cream into the sundae bowls. It's best if it's on the softer side so take out of the freezer about 10 minutes before using.Step 3: Place the strawberries over the top then drizzle with strawberry sauce. Finally sprinkle over the remaining digestives and serve.
Pin the Strawberry Honeycomb Cheesecake Sundae for later...
Disclosure: I received an ice cream hamper from Kelly's Ice Cream in order to take part in the challenge. All thoughts are my own.

New York, June 19 (IANS) Older adults who struggle to fall asleep and experience frequent night awakenings are at high risk for developing dementia or dying early from any cause, a new study suggests.The findings, published in the Journal of Sleep Research, indicated that people who reported routinely experiencing difficulty falling asleep had a 49 per cent increased risk of dementia.And those who often woke in the night and had difficulty falling back asleep had a 39 per cent increased risk of dementia, reports CNN."We found a strong association between frequent difficulty falling asleep and nighttime awakenings and dementia and early death from any cause, even after we controlled for things like depression, sex, income, education and chronic conditions," said researcher Rebecca Robbins from Harvard Medical School.For the study, the team analysed data collected by the National Health and Aging Trends Study (NHATS), which conducts annual in-person interviews with a nationally representative sample of 6,376 Medicare beneficiaries.Data from between 2011 and 2018 were examined for the new study, with a focus on people in the highest risk category -- those who said they had sleep issues "most nights or almost every night".Self-reported sleep difficulties by participants in the study were then compared to each participant's medical records.The study found that people who had trouble falling asleep most nights had about a 44 per cent increased risk of early death from any cause.Those who said they often woke in the night and struggled to return to sleep had a somewhat higher risk -- a 56 per cent increased risk of early death from any cause."These results contribute to existing knowledge that sleep plays a very important role, every night, for reducing our long term risk for neural cognitive decline and all-cause mortality," said Robbins.--IANSvc/sdr/
Ottawa, June 12 (IANS) The state-run Health Canada said that it will not use the 300,000 Johnson & Johnson Covid-19 vaccine doses which arrived in the country in April due to a possible quality issue."To protect the health and safety of Canadians in response to concerns regarding a drug substance produced at the Emergent BioSolutions facility in Baltimore Maryland, Health Canada will not be releasing the shipment," the government department said in a statement on Friday.The drug substance produced at the facility was used in the manufacturing of this shipment of Janssen vaccines, reports Xinhua news agency."The drug substance was manufactured at the time a separate batch of vaccines was contaminated by the components of a different vaccine. "Health Canada was unable to determine that this shipment of Janssen vaccines meets the Department's rigorous quality standards," the statement added.To ensure the safety of any future vaccine supply from this facility, Health Canada is planning an on-site inspection, expected to take place later this year."Until this inspection has been completed, Canada will not be accepting any product or ingredients made at this site," it said.The statement came after the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) said on Friday that Johnson & Johnson must discard millions of doses of its Covid-19 vaccine that were manufactured at the Baltimore facility.The FDA halted production at the Baltimore site after discovering that ingredients from AstraZeneca's Covid-19 vaccine also being produced at the plant at the time contaminated a batch of Johnson & Johnson jab.An FDA inspection also reportedly found sanitary problems and bad manufacturing practices at the plant.The AstraZeneca vaccine is no longer being made at the Baltimore facility, and Health Canada previously said that the 1.5 million doses it had imported from this facility were safe and met quality specifications. --IANSksk/
New Delhi, May 21 (IANS) The Coronavirus pandemic which started last year has taken a heavy toll on the working mothers in India with significant reduction in their average sleep time and more than two-fold jump in time taken to care for elderly in the family, a nationwide survey showed on Friday.
Working mothers in the country are now sleeping for only 5.50 hours per day as compared to 6.50 hours every day on average in pre-Covid era (before 2020), a reduction of about 17 per cent.
They are now spending 01.50 hours more taking care of the elderly/others in the family than in pre-Covid times, according to a survey carried out by market research agency Market Xcel Data Matrix covering 1,200 working mothers across the country.
The pandemic has also altered working mothers' routine and lifestyle -- their time of exercise and entertainment has also been reduced significantly.
Juggling between various responsibilities, they are struggling hard to finish their office work and are spending 08.55 hours to finish office work as compared to 06.50 hours earlier. Their household work has also gone up with the absence of housemaids in many cases.
Moreover, the working mothers are spending more time on their children's education now, with the absence of proper guidance in schools. Around 30 per cent women reported more household chores since the pandemic started and about 26 per cent said there were more childcare responsibilities.
As many as 30 per cent women also reported mental health issues since 2020 while another 26 per cent said they were having some kind of physical health issues.
"The present pandemic situation has had a ripple effect on everybody's life. The working mothers have especially been impacted who are burdened and stressed working round the clock fulfilling professional responsibilities and household duties," said Ashwani Arora, Senior Vice President, Market Xcel Data Matrix, in a statement on the Friday.
"Multitasking and playing many roles simultaneously is gradually becoming hectic. Working mothers have to compromise with their exercise and sleep. Managing office and home school (of kids) at the same time at the same pace is definitely not easy and we need to give some extra care for the caregivers," Arora added.
For the survey, 1,200 working mothers, aged between 25-45 were surveyed in 17 states across the country.
New York, May 5 (IANS) Stress levels of mothers with preschoolers soared during the Covid-19 pandemic, with twice as many of the mothers reporting loss of sleep during the virus outbreak than before it, finds a study.The study, published in the scientific journal 'Women's Health', supports the necessity of providing mothers with reliable, affordable childcare options and a clear path to maintain a healthy work-life balance."Moms of young children are already less likely to get the recommended amount of sleep and physical activity than women who don't have children. These shortfalls could raise the risk for obesity and poor health, and the lockdown worsened the situation by increasing the levels of stress and household chaos," said Chelsea Kracht, post-doctoral researcher in the Pediatric Obesity and Health Behaviour Laboratory at the Pennington Biomedical Research Centre in the US.Mothers who worked remotely during the Covid-19 shutdown reported more household chaos than those who were not teleworking. This is likely because the first group of mothers had to supervise their children's remote schooling and telework at the same time.Having fathers or other family members take on some of the childcare and housework would help the mothers balance the demands of their careers and personal lives, Kracht said."There are a number of ways moms can reduce stress, such as taking a break from the news and spending a few minutes unwinding before they go to sleep. But what moms really need is more support, from their family, workplaces and communities. They need systemic change," said Amanda Staiano, Associate Professor and Director at the Laboratory.The study looked at the relationship between household chaos -- disorder, noise, crowding stress, physical activity -- and sleep for moms. Researchers surveyed more than 1,700 mothers of 3-to-5-year olds during May 2020.--IANSrvt/arm
New York, May 4 (IANS) Mental health and sleep of nearly one in five older adults worsened since the coronavirus pandemic began in March 2020, according to a survey.More than one in four were found to be more anxious or worried than before the Covid-19 era, according to the National Poll on Healthy Ageing. The poll, conducted by University of Michigan's Institute for Healthcare Policy and Innovation in the US, involved more than 2,000 adults aged 50 to 80. The participants were surveyed in late January, when vaccination was just opened for the elderly.The older adults felt more depressed or hopeless (28 per cent), nervous or anxious (34 per cent), andA stressed (44 per cent). Nearly 64 per cent also faced trouble falling asleep or staying asleep at least once.However, the poll also revealed long-term resilience in many older adults. Over 80 per cent adults noted that their mental health is as good as, or better than, it was 20 years ago and about 29 per cent maintained that they have made a lifestyle change such as exercise, diet, and meditation to improve their mental health since the start of the pandemic."As we enter a new phase of the pandemic, with most older adults getting vaccinated, it's important to ensure adequate access to mental health screening and care to detect and address any lingering effects of this prolonged period of stress," said Lauren Gerlach, geriatric psychiatrist at Michigan Medicine."This is especially important to those who might have a harder time accessing mental health care, including those with lower incomes and worse physical health,"Gerlach added.Nearly 71 per cent also stated that they would not hesitate to see a mental health professional in the future, and 13 per cent said they had talked with their primary care provider about a new mental health concern since the pandemic began.--IANSrvt/sdr/
Toronto, May 3 (IANS) Health Canada is set to pause the first batch of 300,000 Johnson & Johnson Covid-19 jabs after learning that a part of the vaccine was made in the same US plant where millions of doses were spoiled, the media reported.The Candian government agency found that a "drug substance" needed to become the final J&J vaccine was made at the Emergent Biosolutions plant in Baltimore, Maryland, the globalnews.ca reported."The drug substance is the active ingredient that undergoes further processing before becoming the final product (i.e., the vaccine). The final Janssen vaccines were manufactured at a different site located outside of the US," the agency was quoted as saying in a statement.The plant has been in news for several violations, including cleaning and sterilisation as well as the potential for cross-contamination. The US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has since ordered the facility to stop making more J&J vaccines until it addresses the violations and manufacturing errors, which resulted in 15 millions of those doses being destroyed, the report said.Health Canada stated that it was working with Janssen and the FDA to assess the vaccines and they would only be released once they were deemed to be safe. The agency also maintained confidence that the 1.5 million AstraZeneca vaccines also delivered to Canada from that plant in late March were still safe and met "quality specifications", the report said."Since issuing our statement [on AstraZeneca], Health Canada has learned that a drug substance produced at the Emergent site was used in the manufacturing of the initial Janssen vaccines received on April 28 and intended for use in Canada," read the statement.--IANSrvt/ksk/

After learning some chords on the guitar, Justin began to write his own songs. 'I am drawn to country and bluegrass because of it's realism. There is energy above and beyond the notes that one hears, which allows me to sing from my heart and to express myself in ways that relate to people everywhere.' He writes a unique style of country music that demonstrates a mastery of many of the different forms comprising both the traditional and contemporary 'country sound'. Justin has since played different venues and songwriter nights around town and has collaborated on new songs. He has released his second album on September 5, 2003, titled a hint of bluegrass. This album encompasses Justin's own acoustic style, with a bluegrass flavor. He plays all the instruments on the self-produced album that he recorded in his home studio. He is also currently finishing a new twelve song record, recorded at Omni Studios in Nashville, due to be released in early 2007. This record is co-produced by Justin and Denis Kiely and contains original and collaborative material. The release of his first single from this album, Valentine's Day Blues, has also led to the creation of his first music video. 'Music will always be a big part of my life,' says Justin. 'I believe this is something God brought into my life so I can touch other people's lives. I will continue to put forth all of my effort to write and sing with the pureness of love He bestows upon me.' Some of his influences include: Merle Haggard, Alan Jackson, Patty Loveless, Hank Williams Jr., Clint Black, Randy Travis, Pasty Cline, Linda Ronstadt, Bill Monroe, Alison Krauss, Jimmy Martin, Osborne Brothers, and Ralph Stanley.

Javed Akhtar responds to fan who asked what music industry did for RD Burman when his career suffered: ‘I remained in his corner’
Javed Akhtar was asked on Twitter what he or the music industry did for RD Burman when the composer’s career was suffering.Updated: Jun 28, 2020 14:39 IST
Lyricist Javed Akhtar remembered legendary music composer RD Burman on his birth anniversary on Saturday. He shared a message on Twitter but it was not well received by a few.
“No wonder that the today’s generation of composers and musicians of popular genre are all great admirers of Pancham . Undoubtedly he was a genius and much ahead of his time . I consider my self fortunate that together we created so many song,” he wrote. Javed and Pancham Da worked on multiple films and movies together, through both their careers.
I have always been an admirer of pancham and remainder in his corner even when his career was going through a rough patch . 1942 A love story was our last album which proved to be a chart buster . Alas he was not there to enjoy its success.— Javed Akhtar (@Javedakhtarjadu) June 27, 2020
However, one fan of the composer asked Javed Akhtar why the music industry shunned him out in the later stage of his career. “Mr. Javed Akhtar, I’d like to ask of you. When Pancham was alive, who was there to offer him work? He was shunted out of the industry during his last years. No one acknowledged him as a genius then. In this industry, one often has to die first to be recognized for his true value,” they wrote.
Javed replied that he was always there to support Burman. “I have always been an admirer of pancham and remainder in his corner even when his career was going through a rough patch . 1942 A love story was our last album which proved to be a chart buster . Alas he was not there to enjoy its success,” he wrote. The fan later clarified that he wasn’t questioning Javed’s support for the composer. “Sir, my jibe was directed at the industry in general. I know you were one of the few who remained his confidante till the end which is to be admired. Strangely it was straight after Pancham’s demise that the industry and the music world awoke to his genius, not when he was alive.”
Another fan had similar accusations for Javed. “What did you do with him during 1986-92,” the asked. Javed replied, “Some or perhaps most of his last films were with me like Gardish , Gang , krodhi , 1942 a love story.” A tweet also mentioned that Ilayaraja is a better composer than RD Burman to which Javed said comparisons between the two will be in poor taste. “Of course Ilayaraja sir is a genius and so was RD Burman . We should admire and respect both of them and their work . Trying to compare them will be in extreme poor taste,” he wrote.
RD Burman was among the most sought after composers of 70s but suffered a downfall in the 80s. The films for which he composed music did not perform well at the box office. Old friends and filmmakers such as Nasir Hussain, with whom he worked in six films, dropped him from Qayamat Se Qayamat Tak. Subhash Ghai promised to take him for Ram Lakhan, only to pick Laxmikant Pyarelal later. RD Burman died of a heart attack at the age of 56.

One ommission: he doesn’t mention that John McCain is out on the campaign trail pushing the drilling uber alles policy as we speak.

Toronto-based Sherson Group, a longtime licensee of Jones’ Nine West footwear brand, has hired investment bank Avalon Net Worth to pursue an acquisition of the moderate footwear business, which includes Nine West, Bandolino and other brands.
“They’ve engaged us to get to Jones and see whether we’re able to extract that piece,” said Jack Hendler, president of Avalon. “They want to make sure it falls into the right hands.”
The licensee has some company in the wings. Delta Galil Industries Ltd. is also believed to be interested in buying the Gloria Vanderbilt business. And a source close to the situation said, “Every garmento in New York has come out of the woodwork” wanting a part of the company.

Upcoming shows you should check out
ROLLING STONES Wednesday, July 1, Carter-Finley Stadium, Raleigh, 919.861.2300
There’s a great quote in the film “Almost Famous” where Jimmy Fallon’s character is attempting to sell the band Stillwater on why they need a manager. He speaks about striking while the iron is hot, and more specifically notes that “if you think Mick Jagger will be out there trying to be a rockstar at age 50, you are sadly, sadly mistaken.” Since “Almost Famous” came out in 2000, it was obviously a joke because even then Jagger, Keith Richards, Ronnie Wood and Charlie Watts were still rockstars and they still sell out arenas and they still make women swoon. The lyrics are just as relevant today as they ever were, and per recent reviews of shows, it seems the act is pulling out all of the stops. A recent stop this past Saturday in Kansas featured Ed Sheeran coming out and belting the lyrics to “Beast of Burden,” and there was even a seven-piece band that featured renown saxophonist Karl Denson and Tim Ries. Both of those artists were part of a seven-piece band that supported the rock and roll act. It’s pretty safe to say that Jimmy Fallon’s character from that film was completely wrong because the Rolling Stones still have the same energy and fervor as they did when they were recording most of these songs back in the 60s, 70s and 80s. And 90s. “Tenured rock band” doesn’t even begin to describe the Rolling Stones, but timeless icons certainly can. The show is scheduled to start at 6 p.m. and tickets are still available through ThePNCArena.com with prices ranging from $69.50 up to $350, additional fees not included.
DARK WATER RISING AND THE MORNING AFTER
Friday, July 3, High Rock Outfitters, Lexington, 336.248.4444
One must give credit where credit is due, and in the case of Dark Water Rising, credit must be given to contemporary acts like Of Monsters and Men and Edward Sharpe and the Magnetic Zeros, two acts that have helped push the soulful vocal melodies of females to the forefront. Dark Water Rising, the Chapel Hill-based five-piece act, is following in the footsteps of those peer acts and taking it to the next level with personable, soulful lyrics melded with a southern rock feel. The result is a surprising combination that ends up sounding like it would be better suited for a smoky room, a glass of whiskey, Advance and the Tickets love of your @ life sitting right next you. Instead, they are taking to High Rock Outfitters, Lincolntheatre.com Lexington’s best secret that, per many local acts we here at YES! Weekly & Schoolkids Records have interviewed, All Shows All is the Ages best venue in the area.

To become a successful investor requires more than luck; it demands a strategic approach, continuous learning, and a resilient mindset. In this article, I guide you through the key principles, strategies, and practical steps to navigate the complexities of crypto markets and emerge as a successful investor.
Understanding the Crypto Landscape: Foundations for Success
1. Knowledge is Power
To thrive in crypto investing, education is paramount. Understand the fundamentals of blockchain, different cryptocurrencies, and the technology underpinning them. Stay informed about market trends, regulatory developments, and emerging technologies that could impact the space.
2. Define Your Investment Goals
Clarify your objectives—whether it's long-term wealth accumulation, short-term gains, or portfolio diversification. Establishing clear goals will guide your investment strategy and risk tolerance.
Building a Robust Investment Strategy: Crafting Your Blueprint
Spread your investments across a variety of assets. Diversification helps mitigate risks associated with the volatility inherent in crypto markets. Consider a mix of major cryptocurrencies, promising altcoins, and other blockchain projects.
4. Risk Management
Set clear risk parameters for each investment. Determine the percentage of your portfolio allocated to each asset and establish stop-loss levels. This disciplined approach safeguards your capital and prevents emotional decision-making.
5. Fundamental Analysis
Evaluate the fundamentals of the cryptocurrencies in your portfolio. Explore factors such as the project's technology, team, partnerships, and real-world use cases. A strong foundation increases the likelihood of long-term success.
6. Technical Analysis
Leverage technical analysis tools to identify potential entry and exit points. Analyze price charts, patterns, and indicators like moving averages, RSI, and MACD. Technical analysis aids in making informed decisions based on market trends.
Executing Your Investment Plan: Practical Steps to Success
7. Choose Reliable Exchanges
Select reputable cryptocurrency exchanges with a track record of security and transparency. Conduct thorough research, read user reviews, and prioritize platforms with strong security measures.
8. Secure Your Investments
Implement robust security practices to protect your digital assets. Use hardware wallets for long-term storage, enable two-factor authentication, and stay vigilant against phishing attempts. Security is a non-negotiable aspect of successful crypto investing.
9. Stay Disciplined During Market Volatility
Crypto markets are known for their price volatility. Develop the discipline to resist impulsive decisions during market fluctuations. Stick to your investment plan, reassess periodically, and make adjustments based on your predefined strategy.
10. Continuous Learning
The crypto landscape is dynamic and ever-evolving. Stay abreast of industry developments, technological advancements, and market trends. Engage with the community, read reputable sources, and consider joining forums or social media groups for insights.
Learning from Mistakes: The Path to Improvement
11. Embrace Failure as a Learning Opportunity
Successful investors view setbacks as opportunities for growth. Analyze failed trades, understand the reasons behind losses, and use these experiences to refine your strategy. The ability to learn from mistakes is a hallmark of a seasoned investor.
Crypto markets can experience sudden shifts due to regulatory changes, technological breakthroughs, or macroeconomic events. Successful investors remain adaptable, adjusting their strategies based on changing market conditions.
The Role of Patience and Emotional Intelligence
13. Patience in Investment
Crypto markets are characterized by both rapid surges and prolonged downturns. Cultivate patience, especially during market downturns. Successful investors understand that wealth accumulation in the crypto space is often a marathon, not a sprint.
14. Emotional Intelligence
Mastering one's emotions is critical in crypto investing. Fear and greed can drive impulsive decisions. Develop emotional intelligence to remain calm during market fluctuations and make rational decisions based on your well-thought-out strategy.
The Community Connection: Networking and Collaboration
15. Engage with the Crypto Community
Participate in crypto forums, social media groups, and attend industry events. Networking provides valuable insights, diverse perspectives, and potential collaboration opportunities. Learning from the experiences of others can enhance your own investment approach.
Becoming a successful crypto investor is a multifaceted journey that combines education, strategy, and emotional resilience. By understanding the foundations, crafting a robust investment strategy, and staying disciplined in execution, investors can navigate the crypto markets with confidence.
The path to success involves continuous learning, adaptability, and a willingness to embrace both victories and defeats as integral parts of the journey. Remember that success is not just about accumulating wealth; it's about mastering the art and science of navigating the ever-evolving landscape of digital assets.
May your journey be prosperous and filled with valuable lessons. Happy investing!

The British Raj and the India’s Caste System
The Indian caste system, known as Varnas, is a centuries old system of social stratification. It is a strict hierarchal system that determines a person’s occupation for them. It also determines what they can wear, who they can talk to, who they can marry. Those on the top of the pyramid have all the wealth, power, and prestige, while those on the bottom are treated no better than the trash that is thrown away. It consists of four Varna’s: Brahmins, Kshatriyas, Vaishyas, and Shudras. There is also a class outside the Varna’s historically called the untouchable’s. The caste system is an ancient cultural tradition that is so deep-rooted in the India cultural, and backed by historical and religious text. After the conquering Aryans established themselves as the ruling class, they adapted a caste system that would keep the Aryan’s in positions that would bring them wealth and prestige, and keep those they conquered subordinate to them. To strengthen their power, the Aryans were able to enforce their strict social rules through religious texts and the Hindu ideals of Varnas and Karma. It has been exploited and altered throughout the centuries by invaders, conquerors, and colonizers to prevent unification for their own benefit. Some may argue that the British created the modern caste system to benefit themselves, however, If anything, the British tried to alter a system they saw as unjust to give all Indians equal rights and equal opportunity. The modern caste system has its roots in the Islamic-Hindu era. Outside the ancient Hindu texts, The Bhagavad Gita, translated by Eknath Easwaran, I use mainly secondary sources to prove my thesis, that the modern caste system has its roots in the Islamic-Hindu era. I think history speaks for itself it the numerous studies done by scholars: such as the Wiser’s who studied the caste system in tribes virtually untouched by the British; and Brian Smith who studied how the ancient Aryan texts support the ideal caste system. It existed long before the East Indian Company landed on the shores of India, and I am proving that Nicholas Dirk’s argument that the caste system is the result of modern colonialism as invalid. Culturally, India has been very diverse; India culture varies depending on the location you go to in the beautiful and vast country. Even though there are many different ethnic groups in India with their own social and cultural identities—they dress differently, speak different languages, have different religions, and eat different foods—depending on the region they are from, they all have the same “temperament.” They share the same values and “common bond” that shows a national cultural identity. The lifeline of that common bond is the Varnas, which evolved into the Indian caste system. Despite what religion Indian’s follow, their cultural values are highly influence by the great Indian epics: The Vedas, the Ramayana, and the Mahabharata. Religious and spiritual thought has evolved from the Vedas, and reinforced cultural traditions. Many Indian Christians may still live by Hindu doctrines, such as the Doctrine of Karma, or practice meditation. These aren’t necessarily considered religious practices to all, but are cultural practices, or philosophies. The Indian cast system is so deeply embedded into this national cultural identity, and widely accepted as part of the Indian culture, that it is hard for Indians to escape it. As Nicholas Dirks says in his book Castes of Mind: Colonialism and the Making of Modern India” Caste defines the core of Indian tradition.” India’s rich heritage can be seen in their literature; through the great epics: the Vedas (3000 BC-1000 BC), the Ramayana (1500 BC) and the Mahabharata (1000 BC). The Vedas weren’t only religious texts, but a prototype that philosophers and religious leaders used seek their beliefs; or law makers used to create a social and political lifestyle, such as the case with the Indian...

The New York Times took a look today at the future of the East River Ferry, which was started in June and shuttles passengers between Brooklyn, Queens and Manhattan. So far, the news has been good for the city and the ferry company:
The ferry service that the city started in June has attracted twice as many riders as its planners had expected. On sunny weekends, it has been so popular with tourists and wandering residents that some boats have been too full to take on everybody waiting on the piers in Brooklyn.
Now, with service scheduled to be reduced for the winter on Nov. 1, the operator of the ferries, BillyBey Ferry Company, is worried about having to turn away more customers. But city officials do not want to pay the operator more than the $3.1 million annual subsidy called for in a three-year contract signed this year.
Now there’s a dispute brewing between the ferry operator, who wants the city to provide more financing to allow additional weekend runs, and the city, which is interested in developing the waterfront areas along Brooklyn and Queens.
Regardless, the ferry has become a surprise hit and is likely to stick around for the foreseeable future.

As expected, Sendai 89ers players, coaches and team staff left Sendai early Friday afternoon for a road trip to face the host and Eastern Conference rival Niigata Albirex BB.
The games were called off, however, along with the rest of the bj-league’s six other series this weekend, in the aftermath of Friday’s devastating 8.8-magnitude earthquake off the coast of Sendai that struck at 2:46 p.m. J. League matches, Nippon Professional Baseball exhibition games and other sporting events, including the Nagoya Women’s International Marathon, were also canceled this weekend.
Reached via e-mail, Facebook and Twitter, 89ers players and staff described what they experienced Friday and a day later, as well as emerging details about the rough road ahead as recovery efforts begin.
All-Star forward Mike Bell, fellow foreigners Mac Hopson, Terrence Woodyard, Chris Holm and Lee Hyecheon, as well as Takuya Komoda and Soushi Yasuda and a team staff member didn’t leave Niigata Prefecture on Saturday.
Instead, “Niigata team staff reached out and gave us a place to stay. We talked to and thanked the (Albirex) coaches,” Bell wrote in an e-mail Saturday afternoon.
There is speculation, Bell said, that some people believe the 89ers (24-12, second-best record in the seven-team Eastern Conference) may be unable to finish the 2010-11 season due to financial problems that may be compounded by local sponsors’ troubles caused by the earthquake.
Despite those concerns, the 89ers have the appropriate focus.
“Coach did say that we are not thinking about basketball right now,” Bell said, relying longtime bench boss Honoo Hamaguchi’s message. “This is a tragic situation and the first thing we need to worry about and think about is everybody’s well being. With that said, we have no idea how long we will be in Niigata.”
Holm maintained a similar mind-set. “Yeah, we are still out here (in Niigata), but we are fine,” the elite rebounder and polished low-post scorer added. “The guys with family in Sendai went back and hopefully everything is going to be all right and everyone will be safe.”
According to a source with many contacts on the team, the 89ers and team staff that left Niigata Prefecture headed east at around 12:40 p.m. Saturday to travel back to Miyagi Prefecture.
But Friday afternoon’s natural disasters will remained etched in the minds of the team’s players and staff forever.
“We were just leaving Sendai to go to Niigata,” Bell recalled. “After about 10 minutes, we stopped somewhere to eat and that’s where we were when the earthquake hit. Half of the team was in the restaurant eating and some of us were on the bus. I was on the bus as well.
“We all experienced four earthquakes the day before and it felt like one of those at first, but then the intensity kept getting stronger and stronger. I was reading at the time, but it felt like the bus was going to tip over, so I got off the bus with my coach (Hamaguchi) and trainer (Yuichi Kitagawa) and just watched everything that was going on in disbelief.”
Holm added a few insights about the traumatic experience, too.
“Hey, everyone,” he wrote on Facebook. “Just wanted to let everyone know I’m OK. Luckily we were on the bus and had left out of the city where it hit. Definitely a crazy day, but feel very fortunate my teammates and their families and I are safe. . .”
Kitagawa, the trainer, also passed along a few details in a Facebook post.
“Thank you, everyone, for your thoughts and prayers,” he wrote Saturday morning. “I, my wife, Yuko, and daughter, Utako, and all our team members (and) office members are all safe now, but Yuko and Utako are staying in an emergency evacuation area over night without electricity (in Sendai).”
Bell, who played college ball at Florida Atlantic and was one of the bj-league’s top five scorers and rebounders last season while suiting up for the Oita HeatDevils, acknowledged Friday’s road trip was hardly ordinary, stating that the typical four-hour trip took 11 1/2 hours.
After the initial earthquake, “We got back on the highway and had seen many aftereffects of the quake, including cracks on the highway forcing us to slow down and go over them very slow as if they were speed bumps. We also saw many people standing out of cracked houses and many other things.”
The 89ers spent the night in Nagaoka, Niigata Prefecture, experiencing firsthand horror of the numerous aftershocks.
Team members hope to reach the city of Sendai as quickly as possible “because many players and staff left families behind,” Bell said.
Before finding out if he and several other 89ers would remain in Niigata for an unknown period of time, Bell admitted, too, that he was worried he wouldn’t have a place to return to. Or as he put it: “Every report about our houses has been thumbs down. I will not be surprised when I get home and see my apartment completely destroyed.”

Collismycin A is a member of the 2,2'-bipyridyl family of natural products that shows cytotoxic activity. Structurally, it belongs to the hybrid polyketides-nonribosomal peptides. After the isolation and characterization of the collismycin A gene cluster, we have used the combination of two different approaches (insertional inactivation and biocatalysis) to increase structural diversity in this natural product class. Twelve collismycin analogs were generated with modifications in the second pyridine ring of collismycin A, thus potentially maintaining biologic activity. None of these analogs showed better cytotoxic activity than the parental collismycin. However, some analogs showed neuroprotective activity and one of them (collismycin H) showed better values for neuroprotection against oxidative stress in a zebrafish model than those of collismycin A. Interestingly, this analog also showed very poor cytotoxic activity, a feature very desirable for a neuroprotectant compound.

Without a doubt, the 2019 festival season is one for the books. Summer seems like a blur and a distant memory at this point. Especially for those of us putting in work along the party circuit. Looking ahead to the holidays, many of us shut it down for the winter. However, if you’re a true festival head, you always have to send the summer off with a bang. For anyone looking to squeeze every last drop out of summer, Imagine Festival has exactly what you need. As a result, the event’s growing exponentially and this year’s edition is the biggest one on record. Therefore, you need to check it out a.s.a.p. if you haven’t yet. Indeed, there are several justifications for believing this so here are the biggest reasons why you should hit up IMF now.
1. It’s Not A Typical Massive…Yet
Don’t be fooled by its 4-day stretch and hefty location. Imagine Music Festival isn’t another summertime massive just yet. In fact, one might argue that the sprawling grounds of the Atlanta Motor Speedway is one of IMF’s downsides. With a generous helping of the space inside the stadium seeing utilization, the trek between stages is borderline daunting. The September ATL heat isn’t much help either. Nevertheless, the copious amount of room is a huge upside. For one, none of the stages is ever cramped. Even the main stage allows for free movement from the back all the way to the rails. Additionally, noise bleed between the sound systems was almost non-existent. The same can be said of the campgrounds, parking lots, traffic, and entrance lines too. From this, it’s safe to say that size is one of the biggest reasons why now is the time to hit up IMF. It’s still in that sweet spot between being a smaller event and a huge, Ultra-like massive. Time is running out though as the party has grown quickly in its short tenure and is showing no signs of slowing down.
2. The IMF Party People
As with other events huge events, Imagine Fest isn’t being inundated with festival-douches. Easily, that’s one of the biggest reasons to cop your tickets to next year’s event. For starters, the event capitalizes on a distinct portion of the festival-goer market. Heads seeking to avoid the overcrowding and commercialization of the larger summer parties flock to events like these. Purists essentially, who want to enjoy the plethora of music a large festival brings without that large festival feel. Secondly, the crowd isn’t overflowing with people who are opportunistic or possess contradictory values. Being around like-minded people sharing a love for the music remains an integral part of the EDM community. Furthermore, the Georgia music market primarily focuses on hip-hop and R&B, so IMF draws fans from beyond the local scene. Indeed, that fosters a deeper sense of community and diversity for everyone within the festival grounds. Kiss that atmosphere goodbye once Imagine Festival inevitably explodes in attendance. Get in on it now while it lasts.
3. Fresh Autumnal Beats
Obviously, the beats are one of the biggest reasons why we all come to these gatherings, right? Moreover, the larger events allow us a chance to see some new artists alongside ones we may rarely get to see. Surely, the lineup and music are key to the success of the event. Alas, there are only so many bangers available to fill out that many DJ sets. So, throughout the summer, the music becomes painfully redundant. Producers ditch their studios for the tour circuit and “festival EDM” becomes rampant. This actually works in IMF’s favor in several ways. Namely, by the time fall rolls around, the summer bangers are going stale and new productions are hitting the airways. Plus, this may be the last major booking of the year for some. Consequently, an IMF size and type of crowd is precisely where artists look to try out some of their new stuff. If the music isn’t one of your biggest reasons for going to a music festival, you’re doing it wrong.
4. Vibes Are On Point
Last but not least, the ambiance at Imagine Music Festival is on point. It offers everything any upper echelon festival does. Is there an above-average size crowd treated with stellar production, and a first-class lineup? Check. How about huge festival grounds loaded with amenities, excursions, and ample dance floor space? Check. Beyond that, you definitely get that whole large camping-festival feel without the headaches that come with an EDC or a Tomorrowland. While that may be true, it isn’t the biggest reason to get to IMF now. It’s going to continue to grow, getting bigger and better every year because of the vibes and the energy that can be felt there. They’re the same feelings which EDC and Ultra got their boosts from. Above all, it’s the biggest reason we’re all drawn to EDM. That’s why you should hit up IMF now, and catch those vibes again while you still can.

This second instalment of the self-worth and work topic will focus on the people who are actively working on detaching their self-worth from their work. I have struggled with this task ever since I dipped my toes into freelance journalism in 2020. I am slowly unlearning this practice, and have been doing so successfully, much to the point when I file copy, I actively file the piece in my mind for structure.
My journalism consumed my life as the world shut down and we were forced to lockdown. It was by large the only thing that occupied me thus it came to define me. As soon as I’d wake up each day, work was at the forefront of my mind – even when I had days off. I was slowly heading towards burnout; I felt it each day and I still feel it sneaking up on me now. Mostly because of my love for work compounding all reason most of the time. I love what I do and that can be my biggest downfall.
I have found ways to manage this looming feeling of exhaustion and most importantly detach my self worth from my work. For example, I try not to let work bleed into the time I want to be around my family or friends. I have not experienced burnout because of how I separate my work life from my personal life. I understand the privilege that comes with finding work as a freelancer, but we simply cannot work every hour of every day — that is a wholly unrealistic notion which I believe the freelance industry perpetuates unknowingly.
I write this while I’m on my leave, ironically — I have not been working for three days and while it has been blissful, I still find my mind obsessing over the work I could be doing. I am reminding myself that I am not my work, my work does not define me and that I should aim to be more present. I am a work in progress but detaching myself completely from work when I am enjoying myself doing other things is what is helping. Sure, I check an odd email sometimes, but I am doing so less frequently.
Sravya is a freelance artist who has reckoned with similar feelings of attaching her self-worth intrinsically to the work she produces. Sravya suggest boundaries are key to her relationship with the work she produces.
“My mindset has definitely changed and has allowed me to be more professional, temper my emotions in the workplace and more importantly, ensure the client is completely satisfied with my deliverables.”
Criticism can be one of the hardest pills to swallow — especially as a freelance creative when we pour a lot of our own ideas into the work we produce, but Sravya’s view towards this element of work is refreshing. “Subjective critiques are a reality of a creative career path.” Constructive criticism is key to growth and development in any career — plus it can help you to build a better business. It’s best not to take such comments personally and see them as a driving force to create.
Sravya talks about the journey of her mindset changes. “I would find it hard to recognise that their comments were not a personal attack on my talents.”
This is a feeling that resonates with many in the freelance community — a process of unlearning these limiting beliefs must be practiced in order to build a business we find ourselves loving rather than simply surviving in.
Money, mindset and business coach Joseph James has been coaching freelancers for 2012 and says that he says attaching self-worth to work is a common pattern. “One of the most common things I see is undercharging and over delivering which often comes from a place of wanting to be liked and approved of.”
Joseph recommends embracing the mindset of “you deserve to be paid for your time and energy”. He continues saying that setting clear boundaries don’t only benefit you, but also your clients.
“Set clear money goals for yourself and your work,” is Joseph’s main piece of advice. He adds that as if you are self-employed, it is your responsibility to give yourself a pay rise — you deserve it.
Despite being our own bosses we sometimes feel crushed with the weight of responsibility. Our work should not define our self-worth, personal klaxons on Twitter announcing new job roles should not fill us with envy. We are moving at our pace and that is okay. We are no more less worthy if we’re not constantly on all the time.
This is something author of self-help book ‘From Narcissism To Nirvana’ that helps to directly tackle this issue, Esther Hunter talks about. “We can become jealous of people we actually love, simply because we believe they’re doing more of the things which will earn them the positive feedback we have unfortunately become reliant on.”
She says “a skewed sense of our value” could feed directly into the complex of attaching self worth to work. She adds “We think ‘doing’ more of what we were praised for early on, will ensure we keep experiencing positive emotion but likely this leads to burnout and lack of identity outside of what we ‘do’.”
Esther adds that knowing yourself and your values, equates to action based on passion and care for yourself — a type of care that cannot be categorised by metrics. “If you try to quantify your worthiness by external markers, you will suffer needlessly whenever whatever you’ve conflated your identity with changes in your life.”
Thus, positive changes must be made to break out of this cycle, changes that often equate to setting your boundaries and goals firmly and sticking to them. This will allow you to create a sustainable business and lead you on the path away from the dreaded burnout.
