Plans for C. Everett Koop Medical Science Complex Announced
Hanover, NH—Dartmouth Medical School, in partnership with Dartmouth College and Dartmouth-Hitchcock Medical Center, has announced plans to develop the C. Everett Koop Medical Science Complex, a visionary new translational and clinical research facility, on the campus of Dartmouth-Hitchcock Medical Center (DHMC) in Lebanon, N.H.
The naming of the planned complex honors the former US surgeon general, a 1937 graduate of Dartmouth College who is the Elizabeth DeCamp McInerny Professor of Surgery and senior scholar of the C. Everett Koop Institute at Dartmouth Medical School.
The naming was formally announced Nov. 2 by Dartmouth President James Wright, Dartmouth Medical School Dean Stephen P. Spielberg, Acting Mary Hitchcock Memorial Hospital President Nancy A. Formella, and Dartmouth-Hitchcock Clinic President Thomas A. Colacchio.
Connected to the existing Borwell Research Building on the south side of the DHMC campus, the complex will bring together important research and exceptional academic programs in close proximity to clinical and patient care areas in specially designed environments intended to foster collaboration and discovery. Construction of the complex is planned to begin in late summer 2007, with initial occupancy in fall 2009. The project is expected to cost approximately $140 million and encompass 283,085 gross square feet. The medical school, college and medical center are currently working to raise $50 million to support funding for the complex.
"The new Koop Complex represents our view of a key element of the future of biomedical science and health care delivery. It is our goal to create an environment to speed the conversion of basic discovery to change in health care practice," says Spielberg. "The design follows its function. It provides a space for close, physical juxtaposition of research, education and patient care, and this will hopefully lead to a new era of more thoughtful flow of knowledge from the bench to the bedside to the community and back."
DMS recently received a Clinical and Translational Science Award planning grant from the National Institutes of Health that will help fund a clinical and translational research center and support the vision of the Koop Complex as a whole.
The Koop Complex is comprised of two wings. One wing, a new translational research building, will house an expanded scientific investigation effort, with an emphasis on multi-disciplinary problem solving in areas including neuroscience, cardiovascular science, immunology, infectious diseases and other evolving areas. Open laboratories will bring together investigators from different home departments. The second wing will house Dartmouth's renowned Center for Evaluative Clinical Sciences, where investigators analyze health care delivery, looking to optimize care at the national and local level, and will evaluate new interventions by interacting closely with bench scientists.
The wings will connect to Borwell through LeBaron Commons, a multi-level atrium designed to create informal and organized spaces for valuable interactions between people and educational space for teaching and learning. The commons is named for Francis E. LeBaron, a 1931 graduate of the Massachusetts College of Osteopathy and a 1934 graduate of the Middlesex College of Medicine and Surgery who was a self-taught researcher with a passion for learning and innovation. His son, Dean F. LeBaron, provided a $5 million gift for the facility. Dean LeBaron is a venture capitalist who splits his time between living in the Lake Sunapee Region of New Hampshire and the Walensee region in Switzerland.
Spielberg adds, "We want to position Dartmouth as a leader in designing the future of health care through excellence in science at all levels. The new facilities are crucial to attracting and retaining the best faculty and students, and positioning Dartmouth Medical School as a leader in clinical and translational sciences."

do the alexander trade first that is awesome for you
also id keep rice galloway and staley you have enough depth at WR especially if you pick up KJ "owens, moulds, KJ, rice, galloway"
and at RB with "williams, henry, staley"
if anything give the rice galloway and staley combo for another elite RB and then go after some solid FA WR that would still be available just for depth. sonsidering owens had his bye already you really wouldnt need anyone else there but its good to have a backup plan. also by trading that combo for a top RB youd have a stellar lineup at RB and WR with brady at the helm and then youd be set

If you’re thinking about creating a living trust but haven’t made up your mind yet, your decision is probably resting on an important question: “What is this going to cost me?” After all, if working with an estate planning lawyer to establish a trust was free, almost everyone would do it.
This question is a good one since it’s always smart to consider the cost of any estate planning solution in addition to the financial value and peace of mind it creates. In this article, we’ll help you decide whether a living trust is the right option for you by giving you some information about the costs and benefits of working with an experienced estate planning attorney in West Michigan to create a living trust.
Trusts Cost More Than Wills — At First
Since every person’s estate planning needs are unique, it’s difficult to estimate exactly how much it will cost to create a living trust for you without knowing anything about your circumstances.
In general, though, it almost always costs more up front to create a living trust than it does to draw up a simple will. The documents that establish a trust are much more complex than a will, and if your lawyer has advised you that a living trust is the best option for you, it probably means that your estate is a bit larger and more complicated than the average person’s or that you have specific needs for your estate that a simple will cannot fulfill.
All of this means that it will take your attorney more time to learn about your situation and craft the details of your trust than it would to create a will. At Phillips & Santana, we always respect our clients’ time and money, and we work hard to keep costs down and deliver affordable and efficient estate planning solutions, including living trust documents.
Still, there’s no getting around the fact that creating a living trust requires a bit more initial investment than drafting a simple will.
Why Create a Living Trust if It Costs More?
You might have noticed that we said it costs more up front to create a living trust compared to a will. However, in the long term, a living trust can actually save you money. That’s because a living trust allows the assets in it to avoid probate, and probate comes with plenty of its own monetary costs, not to mention the time investment and headaches it often involves.
When you decide to go with a simple will, the cost of probate in Michigan will often amount to 5 or 10 percent of the total value of your estate. That means if the overall value of your estate is $500,000, the costs for probate could add up to $50,000, which is much more than the cost of creating a living trust.
Besides the monetary cost, probate also takes up time and creates a lot of stress for your loved ones. Most probate cases take months to wrap up, and some can drag on for years. During that time, your loved ones won’t have any access to the assets that are going through probate, which can create significant financial hardships for some families.
Can I Save Money on a Trust by Creating It Myself?
Since most of the cost of creating a trust comes from your attorney’s time, you might entertain the idea of creating and filing the trust documents on your own. There are lots of books and online services claiming they can help you create a valid living trust for very little cost, and these can seem very appealing to the budget-conscious person.
The problem with many of these services is that the documents they offer are just boilerplate forms that don’t account for your unique circumstances or needs. Unless you choose the forms very carefully, they may not even reflect Michigan law.
Not only that, but you’ll often find that the advertised price for these services is just a marketing ploy. Once you start creating your trust documents, you’ll see that the website or service will offer you all sorts of “optional” add-ons and upgrades that are actually necessary to successfully create a living trust.
The cost of all these “extra” features adds up quickly, so you’ll usually end up paying much more than the advertised price to use these DIY trust services. In addition, if you’re not working with an attorney, there’s no one who can examine the documents and make sure you’ve done everything right, and if something goes wrong, you won’t have anyone you can turn to for help.
These are just a few of the reasons why setting up your own trust without help from a lawyer is usually a bad idea. Don’t take our word for it, though. Just read the disclaimer that comes with almost every service that offers to help you create your own trust. They all say some variation of the same thing: “This information is not legal advice and is not a substitute for legal advice. For legal advice, consult an attorney.”

First off, how exciting is it that we need fat? Super exciting.
The lower body fat that we all have in vast amount (around the world), feeds our babies’ brains. This is, by far, the most interesting fact in the book I just read, entitled, Why Women Need Fat, by William D. Lassek, M.D., and Steven J. C. Gaulin, Ph.D.
I told my husband about it like this:
“Hey, honey, you know how you loved my butt when we were dating, and even moreso when I got pregnant, and then it went away a bit?”
“Yeah,” he said. “Shame about that.”
“Well, that’s because it went into making the twins’ brains!”
He laughed. “Buttheads,” he said affectionately.
But it’s true. The DHA used to line our heavier, bigger human brains is stored in our lower body fat as women.

Leisure charges imposed by Midlothian Council are to increase from August 1.
The cost of hiring pitches, halls and pavilions, Vogrie Golf Course charges and Tonezone memberships will all be increased - with some of the increases being capped at 50 per cent.
Earlier this year the local authority carried out a consultation of its sports and leisure services, which included a benchmark exercise. This compared Midlothian’s charges with those levied by neighbouring authorities.
At last week’s full council meeting, members agreed to a four per cent rise in Tonezone membership costs from April next year. In the meantime, users will be encouraged to switch to a direct debit package while charges remain the same.
How will the changes affect you? See full story in this week’s Advertiser, out now.

Founded in 2014 by Dr. Leonard Guarente, Elysium Health is a company committed to transforming the health sector through science and innovation by coming up with scientifically sound health products using compounds found in nature. Consumers of these products will, therefore, be investing in proactive lifestyles to support their health in the long run. A significant part of the Elysium Health team comprises of world-leading scientists committed to a comprehensive evaluation of the research and development needed before commercializing any of the company’s products.
Basis is made up of two major ingredients—nicotinamide riboside and pterostilbene—among other more minor ingredients, such as microcrystalline cellulose, vegetable magnesium stearate, and hypromellose. Nicotinamide riboside is a precursor for NAD+, which is a compound needed for major processes in the body such as metabolism, maintaining the integrity of DNA, and regulating circadian rhythm. Despite contributing to major cellular processes within the body, the body’s levels of NAD+ tend to reduce with age. Pterostilbene, on the other hand, is an activator for the production of sirtuin proteins. A combination of the two major ingredients found in Basis work to build up NAD+ levels in the body, for proper functioning of the mentioned bodily processes.
That’s where Basis comes in. The supplement boosts the levels of NAD+ at the cellular level to positively impact cellular health in the long term.
To ensure the legitimacy of the firm’s premier product, Basis, Elysium Health conducted in-human clinical studies on the efficacy of the drug. In the results of the clinical study, it was observed that the levels of NAD+ increased by 40% by week four in individuals who took two capsules of the drug for one month. These levels were maintained so long as the subjects continued to take the drug. However, in individuals who were placed on a placebo drug, NAD+ levels did not rise.
In addition to these results, Elysium Health went to great lengths to guarantee the credibility of the study. The study conducted was both randomized and double-blind. The findings of the study were also crucial in confirming the safety of Basis since they showed that none of the ingredients used for making the drug were harmful. None of the ingredients had a negative effect on full blood count, liver and kidney function, and electrolyte levels within the body.
Basis Subscription Plans
Elysium Health offers you the benefits of Basis through various delivery and subscription plans. A one-off bottle of the drug is available for $60 dollars. However, to save you money, the company offers you monthly, quarterly, bi-annual, and annual programs for drug delivery. The drug is available at a cost of $50 on a monthly basis. However, the most popular plan is the 6-month subscription, which comes at a cost of $270. To get the drug using an annual subscription, you will part with $480 per year. Elysium Health is currently working on other innovative products in microbiome, skin, stem cell, muscle, cognitive, and cellular health.

I came upon this restaurant while I was doing research on excellent Californian restaurants - that wasn't a chain. I'm glad I cam across this one. Its very reasonably priced for what it is, and the portions are again very large. The waiter recommended us to order a taco platter each, which thank goodness we didn't, because it would have been way too much! Mind you we still ordered quite a bit, as I usually do =). I didn't get to try as much as I wanted to, but the food, service, and atmosphere is good enough that I would revisit it. Whether its breakfast, brunch, lunch, or dinner they offer local favourites no matter what time of day. They also have an in house catering section offering savoury items as well as freshly baked goods. This is a large restaurant that's always busy, with big tables, portions, and flavours!
On the table:
- Deviled Eggs 3/6
- This is a cafe favorite, offered during brunch, lunch and dinner...so I had to order it
- To be honest, I've had better. It was good, but it's just I've had better. Its not like there was some flavour in there that I couldn't put my finger on, it was just a well put together deviled egg, smooth in texture...a classic deviled egg served with rustic presentation. I guess I was just expecting more.
- **Grilled Ahi Tuna Taco platter 5/6
- Sushi grade ahi tuna grilled rare with chipotle aioli. Served with black beans, basmati rice, guacamole, charred salsa, and homemade corn tortillas (made-to-order)
- This was the best thing we ordered. The portion or picture may look small, but its actually really big especial when you start eating it. Nice big pieces of ahi tuna that is cut to fit the size of one taco. Seared on the outside and still nice and rare on the inside. The soft corn tortilla shells are made in house and upon order and are absolutely delicious and warm. Definitely a traditional tortilla recipe and experienced chef/cook that's making these. They are miniature and they serve you 4 at a time and they're unlimited.
- We needed about 8 mini tortillas to finish one platter. All the ingredients come separate so you can build your own taco - this is the ideal way to serve a platter becuase then you can actually see the quality and amount of ahi tuna you are getting. You only want to put one piece of ahi tuna in each taco because you want a good ratio of stuffing to tortilla.
- The chipotle aioli was a key ingredient to making this taco platter stand out.
- At $19USD it's well worth it!
- Short Rib Taco platter 3/6
- Served with pico de gallo, black beans, basmati rice, guacamole, charred salsa, and homemade corn tortillas (made-to-order)
- This was enjoyable, but I prefer the ahi tuna tacos. The waiter recommended this one after the ahi tuna tacos so we took his advice.
- The short ribs had a nice charred, hickory flavour. It wasn't dry, but if anything it was a tad bit on the drier side for me. But its ok because with the pico de gallo and guacamole it didn't matter.
- Station Cafe Tuna Burger 2/6
- Description on menu: "best ever" pan-seared medium rare with avocado
- My description: pan-seared medium rare tuna PATTY...so much filler.
- I was so disappointed because I felt the quality was lost because it was a patty. The tuna was all grinded up, so there were other fillers in there which sucks. It wasn't gross or anything, but it could have been so much better! At least the patty is as big as the bun though, which is really big. You get a generous amount of avocado slices, a big slice of beefsteak tomato, and shredded lettuce. You get the chipotle aoili that comes with the ahi tuna tacos with it as well. I also put some charred tomato salsa on my burger which made it better. On the side it comes with coleslaw, which is just your standard coleslaw. No unique twist to this.
- JOEY'S Ahi Tuna burger is MUCH MUCH better.
- Side of Mac n' Cheese 2/6
- Fresh, made in house mac and cheese, you get a regular sized bowl for $3USD
- Not that cheesy in flavour though because it wasn't a cheddar cheese they used. They used a white cheese, so it didn't taste that cheesy, which is disappointing - again I've had better...when I order a mac and cheese I want it to taste cheesy...wouldn't order this again
- **English Muffins
- They're their FAMOUS LGO English Muffins
- I saw these in their display case in the bakery corner, but I didn't get to order them
- You can take them to go 1/2 dozen for $9USD
- Will definitely try it next time, I wanted to try them fresh, and I was there for dinner, so I didn't feel like it would be fair to write a review on their famous English muffins from the end of the day.
- I saw a lot of tables with pitchers of these. I didn't try it, but I'm not sure if it was good or if its just a good deal. A pitcher is $19USD and it serves 5. A glass is $6USD.
- I'm really biased with Sangria though because I lived in Europe for half a year and my Spanish flatmates spoiled us with homemade authentic Sangria
- Red Velvet Cake
- Didn't get to try it, but I really really wanted to!! I saw people ordering it and it looks so rich and dense! It came with a big scoop of vanilla gelato or ice cream too. This cake looked amazing. Next time!
- Olive Oil Cake
- Complimentary door cookies
- These are fresh from their bakery
- They are mini and you can take them as you wish at the front door.
- They had chocolate chip, white chocolate cranberry, peanut, and oatmeal raisin
- All were nice and chewy - the best was white chocolate cranberry.

The main clinical merit of three-dimensional (3D) optoacoustic tomography (OAT) is its potential capability to provide quantitative volumetric maps of the optical absorption coefficient, which can be converted into either functional images of the total hemoglobin [tHb] and blood oxygen saturation [sO2] or molecular images of chromophore concentrations. We present the main technological design principles that enable quantitative optoacoustic tomography system for in vivo applications in preclinical and clinical research. Examples of full view three dimensional anatomical, functional and molecular images will be presented. In our study, we acquired in vivo optoacoustic signals of the mouse at 757nm (Hb) and 1064nm (HbO2+H2O) using ultrawide-band ultrasonic transducers, and reconstructed tomographic images incorporating transducer impulse response. Based on experience with preclinical imaging system designed for research in mouse models we designed a clinical system for diagnostic imaging of breast cancer. The same qOAT method has been applied to the 3D optoacoustic images of the breast to reveal deep vascular structures with quantitatively accurate blood oxygen saturation and a cancerous breast tumor.
Dr. Alexander A. Oraevsky is an inventor and referred to as the Father of biomedical optoacoustic imaging. Alexander received his initial training in physics and mathematics from the Moscow Physical and Engineering Institute (National Nuclear Research University) in Moscow, Russia and obtained a doctorate in laser spectroscopy and laser biophysics from the USSR Academy of Sciences. In 1998 he founded LaserSonix Technologies, the first business dedicated to optoacoustic imaging, assets of which were acquired by Seno Medical Instruments in 2006. In January 2021, the first optoacoustic imaging system designed by Dr. Oraevsky received FDA approval in the USA and CE Medical Mark in Europe. In 1999 he founded a conference dedicated to biomedical optoacoustics under auspices of SPIE Photonics West Symposium. Titled “Photons plus Ultrasound: Imaging and Sensing” it is now the largest conference within Photonics West Symposium with ~250 papers presented annually.

Choosing premium cannabis seeds is of utmost importance in the rapidly expanding field of marijuana cultivation. Whether you’re an experienced grower or a novice enthusiast, the key to a thriving and productive cannabis garden lies in the selection of high-quality seeds. Opting for superior genetics supports the growth of robust and healthy plants with desirable traits, potency, and overall yield. Investing in exceptional seeds sets the stage for a successful and gratifying journey into cannabis production.
This blog aims to provide comprehensive guidance on accurately identifying top-notch marijuana seeds. We understand the challenges that arise when sifting through a vast array of seed options and determining which ones possess the potential to develop into exceptional cannabis plants. This blog aims to shed light on the crucial factors that influence seed quality, acquaint you with precise methods for identifying seeds, and offer valuable insights on trustworthy seed suppliers. By the time you finish reading, you will possess the knowledge and resources to make informed decisions when choosing marijuana seeds, propelling you towards a fruitful and rewarding production endeavor.
Key Components Shaping Seed Quality
Seed Viability and Maturity:
Seed viability refers to the ability of a seed to germinate and grow into a healthy plant. Fully mature seeds tend to have higher germination and growth success rates than immature seeds. Obtaining seeds from suppliers who prioritize seed maturity and proper harvesting practices is important. This ensures that you are starting with seeds with the best chance of developing into strong and productive plants.
Appearance of the Seeds:
The visual characteristics of the seeds can provide valuable insights into their quality and maturity. Consider the following factors when assessing seed appearance:
Seed Color: Mature seeds typically have a dark color, ranging from brown to black or gray. These darker hues indicate that the seeds have reached full maturity. It is advisable to avoid green or light-colored seeds, as they may not have fully developed.
Seed Size: Generally, larger seeds indicate higher maturity and potential vigor. Look for seeds that are plump and well-developed in size. However, remember that seed size alone is not the sole determinant of quality. Other factors, such as genetics and storage conditions, also play a significant role.
Seed Texture: High-quality seeds have smooth and firm shells. Avoid seeds with cracked, damaged, or brittle shells, as they may indicate poor viability or improper handling. The shell should be intact and sturdy, protecting the inner seed from damage.
Age and Storage Conditions:
The age of the seeds and how they have been stored can significantly impact their viability and germination rates. Consider the following guidelines for seed age and storage:
Seed Age: Freshly harvested seeds generally have higher germination rates. Choose seeds that are recently harvested to maximize their chances of successful germination. However, it’s worth noting that some seeds can remain viable for longer periods under proper storage conditions.
Storage Environment: It is crucial to store seeds properly to maintain their quality and viability. Seeds should be stored in a cool, dark, and dry environment. Light, heat, and moisture exposure can degrade the seeds over time. Use airtight containers and desiccant packs to protect the seeds from moisture and maintain a stable storage environment.
Seed Longevity: Different seeds have varying longevity, and it is essential to consider the specific requirements of the seeds you are working with. Generally, using seeds within one to three years of harvest is recommended for optimal results. However, some seeds, such as those from certain plant species, may have shorter or longer viability periods.
By paying attention to these key components shaping seed quality and following proper storage and handling practices, you can increase the likelihood of successful germination and achieve better overall results in your cannabis cultivation endeavors.
Identifying High-Grade Marijuana Seeds
|– Seed Color and Patterns: Mature cannabis seeds are typically darker (brown, black, or gray), while green or light-colored seeds may be immature or of inferior quality. Unique patterns or markings on the seed surface can indicate specific genetic traits.- Size and Shape Consistency: Look for seeds with uniform size and shape within a batch. Although size alone doesn’t guarantee quality, excessively small or irregularly shaped seeds may have lower viability.
– Seed Shell Integrity: Check the seed shell for cracks, dents, or damage. Healthy seeds have intact and undamaged shells, as compromised shells can affect germination and overall quality.
|– Firmness and Hardness: Gently compress seeds between your fingers to assess firmness and hardness. High-quality seeds should feel firm and resistant to pressure, while soft or easily crumbled seeds may indicate poor viability.- Texture and Smoothness: Run your fingers over the seed’s surface to check for irregularities or rough textures. High-quality seeds typically have a smooth and consistent texture.
|– Procedure and Purpose: Fill a glass with water and place the seeds in it. Observe whether the seeds sink or float. This test helps identify viable seeds with a higher chance of successful germination.- Interpreting the Results: Viable seeds generally sink to the bottom, while non-viable or low-quality seeds float or remain suspended. Note that the float test provides a rough indication of seed viability.
|– Steps to Perform a Germination Test: Dampen a paper towel or cotton pad without excessive wetness. Place a few seeds on it and fold the towel to cover them. Keep it in a warm, dark location like a sealed plastic bag. Check for germination within a few days to a week.- Evaluating Germination Rate: Count the successfully sprouted seeds after the germination period. A higher germination rate indicates superior seed quality.
By utilizing methods such as visual assessment, tactile evaluation, float testing, and germination tests, you can gain valuable insights into the quality and viability of marijuana seeds. Employing these techniques collectively offers a comprehensive approach to identifying high-quality seeds that are more likely to produce healthy and thriving cannabis plants.

Latest installment of Capcom’s Street Fighter series didn’t sell as well as the company had predicted. Capcom also shared some data and the future plans in the annual earnings report.
The case of Street Fighter V
Street Fighter V, released exclusively to PC and PS4 in February, didn’t start its lifespan well. Despite beautiful graphics and solid gameplay praised by players and critics, the game lacked content, e.g. actual singeplayer mode, and characters. Moreover, since beta, the game was bugging and its multiplayer servers broken, which is not exactly great when the game’s singeplayer mode is limited to short character stories, training and survival.
Capcom expected to sell 2 million units of Street Fighter V by the end of fiscal year (March 31 2016), but today it was announced that the game sold only 1.4 million units about 1.2 mil. of it on PS4). During the first week in Japan, the PS4 version was beat by Kan Colle Kai (PS Vita) and both versions of Attack on Titan (PS Vita, PS4). Jokes like “the demo of Guilty Gear Xrd: Revelator has more content than SFV” have been circulating. This all might seem disappointing, but considering the available content, the fact that the most hardened critics predicted the game a premature death, and some other things, it isn’t, at least not entirely. The future of Street Fighter V is bright.
By “some other things”, I mean for example upcoming Evolution 2016 (held in Las Vegas in July), the largest fighting game tournament in the world, where Street Fighter V broke the record of most entrants (previously held by Ultra Street Fighter IV). Currently, more than 4,000 people are signed up, and the tournament itself will definitley boost sales.
Sepaking of sales boost, Capcom plans to keep adding new characters (Guile was added just 2 weeks ago), which undoubtedly will help sales, and also to improve singeplayer mode. Also, Capcom hasn’t revealed the income from in-game transactions, so we can only guess.
Street Fighter V is now Capcom’s 45th most sold game, but it’s only at the beginning of its lifespan. Capcom’s most sold Street Fighter II stopped at 6.3 million units. How close can SFV get? We will have a clearer idea in a few months.
As I’ve already said, Capcom has also released annual earnings report of the last fiscal year. Thanks to twitter user 黒凧 BlackKite (@bk2128), who translated the report and summed it up in a series of tweets, I can present you several interesting findings. All credits go to @bk2128.
Fiscal year 2015/2016 was very successful for Capcom. The company’s sales revenue increased by 19.8%. Ordinary profit, operating profit and net profit also increased by 13.7%, 4,6% and 17.1% respectively.
Now to specific games. As said above, Street Fighter V underperformed (although Capcom says it “sold popularly”), but Monster Hunter X (labelled Generations in the west) for Nintendo 3DS is the exact opposite. Instead of expected 2.5 million units, Monster Hunter X sold 3 million copies. Resident Evil Zero HD Remaster for PlayStation 4, PC and Xbox One also “sold well”.
In online games Monster Hunter Explore “surpassed 3 million downloads” on Android/iOS and free-to-play multiplayer game Dragon’s Dogma Online for PS4, PS3 and PC is also “doing well”.
Capcom’s main games in the rest of 2016 will be Sengoku BASARA Sanada Yukimura-den (PS4, PS3), Resident Evil: Umbrella Corps (PS4, PC), Ace Attorney 6 (Nintendo 3DS) and Monster Hunter Stories (Nintendo 3DS).
Fifth point indicates that we might even get something like the Sengoku BASARA game here in the west, but who knows.

REVIEW – Did you know that poor audio is one of the biggest complaints about remote meetings? Zoom and Teams are great, but if you can’t hear or understand your colleagues, it creates a frustrating experience for everyone. To make it worse, most people never hear themselves on a meeting, so you often have no idea if your sound is bad or not. If you are using the microphone built into your laptop, or the one built into an external webcam, chances are good that you sound bad. A dedicated microphone is a wise investment, and doesn’t have to be an expensive one. The OneOdio FM1 microphone proves that.
What is it?
The OneOdio FM1 is a USB condenser microphone designed for remote work, podcasts, and gaming. It’s plug-and-play with all the computers I tested it with (mac, PC, and chromebook), and includes a headphone jack.
What’s in the box?
- OneOdio FM1 Microphone
- Detachable base
- USB-A to USB-C cable
- Detachable Pop filter
- Type: Condenser
- Polar Pattern: Cardioid
- Sampling Rate: (44.1 to 48) kHz / 16 bits
- Frequency Response: 20 Hz – 20 kHz
- Sensitivity: -38 dB ± 2 dB
- Maximum SPL: 110 dB
- Signal-to-Noise Ratio: ≤ 91 dB
- Total Harmonic Distortion: ≤ 0.5 ﹪ (1 kHz)
- Monitor Output Type: 3.5 mm
- Monitor Output Impedance: 32 Ω • Monitor Output Power: 10 mW
- Operating Voltage: (5 ± 0.5) VDC
- Operating Current: 500 mA
Design and features
The OneOdio FM1 microphone has some nice features for the price point. Starting from the bottom, the base is heavy. That’s a good thing because microphones are often a bit tippy and I have at least one that is constantly falling over. Not so with this one. That base also has little silicon “feet” that help to isolate the microphone from vibration, like if you were typing during a meeting. A pop filter on a flexible stalk attaches between the base and the microphone. If you like to be close to the mic, this will prevent odd sounds when you pronounce your P’s and S’s. The bottom of the microphone has two ports; a USB-C port, and a 3.5mm headphone back. The fact that the USB cable is detachable is great – this allows you to use a cable length specific to your application, or to replace a damaged one. The included cable is generously long at 2M (6 feet), and includes a velcro cable keeper. The controls on the microphone are unique at this price point. A large knob controls microphone gain (basically, how loud the mic is). Below that are two buttons; a mute button, and a monitor button. The monitor button allows you to hear (or not hear) the microphone audio through the headphones. Headphone audio is still enabled even if the monitor is off.
The performance of the OneOdio FM1 microphone is good. It’s not rock-star good, but it’s probably a big step up from the mic built into your camera or computer. It’s hard to describe in text, so check out the audio example below, in comparison to other common microphones (Logitech webcam microphone, Macbook Air built-in microphones).
One thing I did notice is that the OneOdio FM1 microphone is very good at screening out background noise. I did the test outside on my patio, where I generally work all summer. While testing, there were cars going by and a lawnmower in the distance. The OneOdio mic did not pick those up, while they are present on the other two in the test.
What I like
- Nice pop filter, with a very flexible stalk
- Heavy base with silicon feet – it’s not falling over
- Mute button and monitor / headphone jack
- USB cable is included, long, and has a velcro cable keeper
- Good value, big difference in audio quality over what you’re probably using now
What I’d change
- Nothing that I’ve noticed yet
Communication is critical to so much that we do, but we often don’t give much thought to the tools we use. If you work from home, are a content creator, or a heavy gamer, a stand-alone microphone is a good investment. The OneOdio FM1 will step up your audio game without breaking the bank.

“How Proverbs Shaped My Post High School Friendships” was first published in the Idaho Homeschool magazine, spring edition 2020. Used here with permission.
Group Time began each homeschool morning. My siblings and I raced for the best seats in the living room. After prayer, we opened our Bibles to the book of Proverbs to go around the circle and read a verse at a time. On the fifth of the month I chose my spot in our living room carefully. This strategic move was an attempt to avoid reading aloud particular verses in Proverbs 5 — verses a 14-year-old considers awkward. All of Proverbs is true and wonderful like the rest of God’s Word, but I was perfectly fine if one of my siblings had to read the verses about intimacy out loud instead of me.

I’m not sure what your Sunday mornings before church are like, but I’m going to guess they aren’t always angelic. Because mine aren’t.
I would like to say they consist of a full two hours of sipping coffee and prayer journaling at my kitchen table, with morning sun and a vase full of roses nearby. Leftover quiche and plenty of time to spare to curl my hair.

Governor Deval Patrick today joined state and local officials and Somerville business owners at the opening ceremony of the new Assembly Orange Line MBTA station. Assembly is the first new MBTA station in 27 years and is a key element in the creation of a transit-oriented development at Assembly Row, providing a vital transit link between Assembly Row and Boston.
“We invest in infrastructure to catalyze private development, revitalize urban neighborhoods and bolster growth and opportunity across the Commonwealth,” said Governor Patrick. “The new Assembly Orange Line station is a concrete reminder of what can be achieved through public-private partnership and investment in our communities.”
Assembly is the first new MBTA subway station to be opened since the southern portion of the Orange Line was moved from the Washington Street Elevated Line to the Southwest Corridor in 1987 (Tufts, Back Bay, Massachusetts Avenue, Ruggles, Roxbury Crossing, Jackson Square, Stony Brook, Green Street and Forest Hills all opened on May 4, 1987). The Assembly station design includes a glass two-story entrance building at the corner of Foley and G Streets, with stairs, escalators and elevators leading to a glazed glass bridge crossing G Street and the inbound track. The bridge connects to another glass 2-story building between the inbound and outbound tracks, where transit riders will pass through the fare array and travel down to platform level on another stair, escalator or elevators. The new station has integrated intuitive design and is fully accessible and compliant with the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA). The daily projected ridership at the Assembly station is expected to be between 4,800 and 5,400 passengers by 2030.
“A demand for enhanced access to transit, for smart development centered on transportation access and for livable, workable communities has been heard loud and clear by this Administration,” said MassDOT Secretary & CEO Richard A. Davey. “The opening of the new Assembly station today is a direct response to that demand that will provide easy, affordable access to rapid transit in this new neighborhood of Somerville.”
“The first new MBTA station in 27 years is a testament to the key role that access to transportation plays in the growth and redevelopment of our cities and towns,” said MBTA General Manager Dr. Beverly Scott. “Assembly is a modern, fully accessible, environmentally-friendly Orange Line station that will serve this blossoming new neighborhood and the City of Somerville well for years to come.”
The station’s design also includes sustainable and environmentally-friendly elements such as extensive daylighting, storm water retention, and energy-conserving electrical power controls and lighting fixtures. The station features passive solar power design; which allows the building windows, walls, and floors to collect, store, and distribute solar energy in the form of heat in the winter and reject solar heat in the summer, without using electricity.
The development will include more than 2.8 million square feet of office space, 635,000 square feet of retail, restaurant and entertainment uses, and 1,813 homes. It will feature public benefits like a waterfront park, open space, and new bike and pedestrian paths connecting existing neighborhoods with the new development.
The new Assembly station is a true public-private partnership, funded through a combination of federal, state and private investment. The total cost of the station is $56 million with $25 million through a MassWorks grant, $16 million in federal funds and a $15 million investment from Federal Realty Investment Trust, the developers of the Assembly Row project.

Building an audience is all about making connections. You can do this through your book, your words, your social media personality, your blog, or through meaningful interactions with other writers and readers in writing forums. Wouldn’t it be wonderful to be a part of a creative and supportive community? Think of how your craft will grow and flourish under the care and meaningful support and critiques of others within your field.
What is Audience Development?
This blog series has been about one thing: how to build and strengthen the relationship between writer and reader. The careful cultivation of this relationship will build your audience, boost sales, and create excitement for future self-published books. Authors can build their audience by creating an author brand (personality), interacting with other writers and readers on social media, creating a central hub (website), blogging, and, finally, by participating in writing forums and other communities.
What are Online Forums?
The definition of a forum is, “a place, meeting, or medium where ideas and views on a particular issue can be exchanged.” An online forum, therefore, is a website or section of a website where users can post and interact with other users, sharing ideas and work. On a web forum, users can create profiles and post discussions topics to the messaging boards. Messages are organized by topic and title. Other users can respond to messages. You will also have the option of posting anonymously on most sites.
While this may sound like social media, it’s different. Social media serves a vast amount of purposes, and people of all walks of life use it differently. Online forums, however, serve a specific need or are suited to a particular interest or niche. Users can message others and post about a certain topic.
A shared interest can lead to a community, one that challenges and supports one another.
The Promise of Writing Forums
Writers can get a lot out of writing forums. Think of it as an online version of a writer’s workshop. Here’s what you can expect to get out of writing forums:
- Helpful writing tips and trade secrets. As a self-published writer, it may seem like you’re going it alone. This isn’t true, though! On writing forums, other writers can give you tips and ideas for how to maximize your writing time. Each and every writer has a process, and learning about another’s process may inspire you to make some necessary changes to yours.
- Beta readers. A beta reader is someone who reads drafts of your work and offers suggestions and feedback. It’s smart to use several beta readers at several different points in your writing trajectory. You can have your readers read the first draft and second or third to compare the work and let you know if it’s an improvement.
- Thoughtful critiques. Writers can be competitive, but having a writer read your work is truly invaluable. Other authors can provide immensely helpful feedback and critiques in ways non-writers can’t.
- Revisions. Along with their critiques and suggestions, your beta readers can offer ideas for revision – sections or chapters that need a little tweaking, areas where a rewrite is necessary, etc. Once you’ve completed those revisions, you can repeat the process.
- New books and stories to read. Writing forums won’t always be about writing. You’ll also be reading! You can act as a beta reader for other writers, and this will provide new books and stories to read. Switching hats from writer to reader and editor can be a fun, creativity-stoking activity.
- Emotional support. Writing can be exhausting. At times when you feel creatively and mentally drained, bitter toward your work, or hopeless about your book, your fellow writers will prop you up, encourage you, and push you further.
How can Writing Forums Boost Your Audience?
Developing a dedicated audience is all about author branding and creating a feeling of a relationship between writer and reader. It’s about being authentic and accessible and self-publishing a really good book. A good book is easy to connect with. Readers who finish your book and love it won’t have to work for that connection. A connection to the author, on the other hand, requires a bit more work, but if you do it correctly, your audience will grow.
Forums will build relationships no matter what. Having a common interest is a good place to start. Participating in writing forums will build your audience and boost sales in several ways.
- Your beta readers are readers.
- The friends and colleagues you make will follow your self-publishing journey.
- You will build excitement around the final product: your self-published book.
Imagine being a part of a writing community and reading a fellow author’s work from the very first draft on. By the time it got published, you’d be pretty invested, right? Even if you weren’t a beta reader for the writer, and merely spoke with them a few times on the discussion board, you’d feel a certain connection–maybe even a friendship–with them. This connection, to both the writer and book, would provide enough cause to purchase the book.
Popular Writing Forums
Participate in one or in several writing forums. These forums will help you find not only the support you need but also new readers. You’ll find your audience growing and the support for your book increasing. You’re never going it alone when you self-publish. There are always resources at your disposal. DiggyPOD aims to be one of them.

MANIPULATION OF THE MEDIA. A free people needs a free press. But terrorism needs a propaganda platform. So the news media face a dilemma: Is it possible to keep citizens informed of daily events (including the often graphic tragedy of terrorism) without becoming, to some degree, propagandists for the perpetrators?
He was out with guests at a restaurant late one evening when the phone call found him. Rushing back to his office, James Hawthorne, head of the British Broadcasting Corporation (BBC) for Northern Ireland, was met by a slightly white-faced senior editor. The message: A correspondent had just gotten an interview with Evelyn Glenholmes. The question: Should the BBC broadcast it?
Some news executives would instantly have said ``Yes!'' Ms. Glenholmes was a hot property, a prime suspect in the attempted assassination of British Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher by the Irish Republican Army (IRA) at a Brighton hotel in 1984. Glenholmes had gone underground. Getting her on tape was something of a coup.
But under Britain's Prevention of Terrorism Act, the IRA is an illegal organization. Broadcasting Glenholmes's words might entangle the BBC in legal considerations. Here in Northern Ireland, only the finest of lines separates reporting on terrorism (which is legal) from providing a propaganda platform for terrorists (which is not).
Which was it here? When BBC correspondent Anne Cadwallader had been approached in Dublin by several IRA members, she didn't have time to call Belfast for advice. Her instincts told her to go with them in their car. She was hooded and taken to a house somewhere in Dublin, where she met a young woman who said her name was Evelyn Glenholmes.
Listening to the tape later, Mr. Hawthorne heard a woman's voice protesting her innocence. Was it really Glenholmes? The Dublin correspondent could not have been expected to recognize her. Even if authentic -- and even if legal -- would the broadcast stir up a hornet's nest of criticism?
In such a case, says Hawthorne, the news executive has to make ``a very, very careful judgment as to where this inherently difficult decision is going to land [him] with public relations and the reputation of the BBC.''
``I had a gut feeling that it was proper to do it -- an instinct that this was real news. I made that decision between 1 a.m. and 3 a.m.'' Then Hawthorne did his legal duty: He phoned the relevant authorities at 3 a.m. -- knowing he would get only a duty officer who would have to wait until morning to refer the information higher -- and went home. The story went out with the first morning news. Is it news or terrorist propaganda?
In the fast-paced world of breaking news, even such apparently simple stories can involve agonizing decisions. Yet when such stories do go out, what is their effect?
Do they contribute to the free marketplace of ideas, helping the citizenry to understand the central issues of their day? Or do they give terrorists a megaphone through which to spread their message of fear to their ultimate target -- the public at large?
Do the news media, in Mrs. Thatcher's words, provide ``the oxygen of publicity'' on which terrorism thrives? Or do they in Hawthorne's words, ``allow people of the most seditious views to speak them,'' so that in the end ``they don't have to express them in the hard way?''
Does extensive media coverage lead to what Jerrold M. Post, a psychiatrist with Defense Systems Inc., in Washington, D.C., calls a ``Robinhoodization'' of the terrorists, inflating them to the proportion of folk heroes? Or does such coverage produce what Paul Wilkinson, a terrorism authority at the University of Aberdeen in Scotland, calls ``the outrage effect'' -- public revulsion of terrorist acts and demands for tougher governmental measures?
Does journalism interfere with official efforts to resolve crises, either by giving away essential information or, as Die Zeit political editor Dieter Buhl notes, by putting ``so much pressure on the government'' that it acts without due care? Or does it provide needed information to officials, since in hostile situations reporters can sometimes go where government decisionmakers cannot?
Finally, are the media hooked on terrorism? ``Terrorism is drama,'' says Noel Koch, who oversees the Pentagon's counterterrorism efforts. ``It's got suspense, it's got grievance, it's got people at risk, it's got the families that are crying; you can't duplicate it in fiction.''
So do the media, in an effort to captivate viewers, turn to terrorist incidents whenever possible? Or do they simply report what they find, and try hard, as Alan Protheroe, assistant director general of the BBC, says, to do it ``responsibly, accurately, with total care, and with total fairness in the things that [we] do not advocate''?
On these and other points there are vehement disagreements, not only among students of terrorism but within the broader public. On three points, however, there is basic consensus:
Television is the terrorist's medium of choice. It is far preferable to print or radio as the outlet with the most immediacy and the most terrifying impact.
Television is no longer simply reporting about the story: It has become part of the story. Making that point, Lawrence K. Grossman, president of NBC, calls television ``the stage on which terrorist incidents are played.''
In the never-ending debate about the role of the news media in a free democracy, television is at the center of an ongoing controversy -- and terrorism is Exhibit A. Terrorists' growing media skills
Paul Nahon, news director at France's second television channel, Antenne-2, has a front-seat view of the terrorists' news-management skills. One of his four-man camera crews is being held hostage in Lebanon. The terrorists have colleagues in France who monitor everything said about the situation and pass it back to the captors.
In deciding how to cover the story, he says, ``we have to be very, very careful every day. [The terrorists] are managing all this like professionals -- professional politics, professional dramatism.''
One of the noticeable developments in recent years, in fact, lies in the increasingly skillful use of publicity by terrorist organizations. ``The vice-president for media relations,'' says Dr. Post, referring only half in jest to the individual within nearly every terrorist group who orchestrates media coverage.
With the growth of inexpensive videotape equipment, these groups are increasingly able to provide news organizations with television-ready footage: messages from terrorist leaders, interviews with captives, and even (in the case of British journalist Alec Collett, who disappeared in Lebanon in March 1985) visual records of executions.
Yasser Arafat's Palestine Liberation Organization now owns a share in an Arab communications satellite, leading one observer to wonder whether the world will soon see a new network, ``Television Arafat.''
And, as last summer's hijacking of TWA Flight 847 in Beirut showed, terrorists are getting very good at organizing press conferences and handling requests for interviews: A tour of the plane was reportedly offered to the networks for $1,000, and a session with the hostages themselves could be had for $12,500.
While NBC's Mr. Grossman likes to recount figures from a Gallup poll showing that 89 percent of Americans applauded television's coverage of the TWA incident, other observers, especially overseas, where television coverage is more understated, are less approving. ``What [the American] media did in Lebanon during the TWA hijacking was disastrous,'' says Hans Josef Horchem, former head of West German domestic security and a recognized expert on counterterrorism. ``It not only hurt the interests of the security forces, it was a question of taste.''
In retrospect, says Ari Rath, editor of the Jerusalem Post, the TWA incident ``is probably a very good example of very sophisticated use by hijackers and terrorists of the media.'' To report or not to report
Mr. Rath, who like all other Israeli editors operates under a carefully organized form of governmental censorship, feels the tug between journalist and citizen.
``When you work as an Israeli journalist, you also have the other part in you, and that is your security awareness.'' He cites an example of a terrorist bombing several years ago that made use of a new method: a bicycle frame filled with TNT. When his paper reported how the bomb was made, the censor chastised him, showing point by point how his article had hindered both immediate and long-term police work. ``It was an eye-opener,'' says Rath, who remains persuaded that his paper did the wrong thing. ``One could have given a very good and grim and realistic description of that particular bombing incident without giving away some details which really did harm the investigation.''
``What is more important,'' muses Rath, ``to have the one-time scoop or save lives?''
Should the media, then, not publicize full details of terrorist incidents? Ambassador Robert B. Oakley, director of the US State Department's Office of Counter-Terrorism and Emergency Planning, thinks not. ``There's a long history of what you might call copycatism [and] competitiveness, [especially] among Middle East terrorist groups.''
His point was substantiated when the Feb. 28 assassination of Swedish Prime Minister Olof Palme was followed less than 36 hours later by the assassination of Zafer Masri, the mayor of the West Bank city of Nablus, under almost identical circumstances.
Observers also call attention to the news media's reporting of counterterrorism measures taken by security forces. During the siege of the Iranian Embassy in London in 1980, recalls the BBC's Mr. Protheroe, journalists were puzzled when a Thames Gas Board van came through police cordons, parked very close to the building, and produced several men with jackhammers who drilled up the street.
At the time, journalists were told it was to shut off the gas in case of an explosion. Later, they learned that the jackhammers provided noise cover for the Special Air Service commandos, who were drilling peepholes through the embassy walls from the building next door.
``I think you've got to report that,'' says Protheroe, although he would not want it reported while the incident was under way. His reason: to keep the electorate as fully informed as possible. Censorship vs. self-regulation
Throughout the debate on the media's role, one call stands out: the need for journalistic self-regulation and not censorship. First, censorship would clearly violate one of the treasured cornerstones of democracy: a free press. ``One of the biggest victories terrorists could ever achieve,'' notes NBC's Grossman, ``would be to force democracies to adopt the repressive press restrictions of dictatorships.''
But there is a second and more subtle reason: Given the pace of today's technology, censorship simply would not work. The anticipated threat: satellite television, beamed from any part of the world and receivable by viewers anywhere. In Europe, where some of the state-run television networks have worked out (1) fairly high standards of taste and (2) agreements with national security forces to withhold or delay broadcasts in certain cases, there is broad concern about the effect of general access to the major US networks.
If European television had to face pressure from American television, says Peter Goebel of West Germany's second television channel, ZDF, ``I'm almost sure [the European stations] won't be able to keep their principles.''
Nachman Shai, director of Israeli Army Radio and a former television journalist, finds the situation doubly difficult in Israel, where foreign television crews are a constant presence. However much Israeli journalists might choose not to broadcast certain pictures, he says, ``there is such competition it is almost impossible to stop pictures from getting out.''
Is such competition good or bad? How free should the media be? Again, there is serious disagreement.
``The disadvantages of the public not being accurately informed, or being informed only by administration spokesman, are too severe in our society,'' says former Central Intelligence Agency chief Stansfield Turner. ``While I decry the media releasing secrets as much as they do, I would never think of trying to organize a government censorship bureau.''
But Rand Corporation scholar Paul B. Henze sees a need for greater controls on the media. ``What has been gained by all of the minute media reporting on terrorism? Whose interests have been served? Who has learned something? I find it very hard to think very readily of what good has been done by just simply tantalizing people.''
But, putting the problem in another perspective, he notes that the criticism may well be overblown. ``If the media had had as much deleterious impact as many critics of the media think,'' he quips, ``we'd all be finished.''

Having never been to Greece, I really didn’t have any idea what to expect from my first visit. I visited my friends Dimitra and Danis, whom I met in Egypt whilst I was on holiday last year and they were on their honeymoon. We bonded immediately and they came to visit me in London last year and so I headed to Thessaloniki to visit them for a week.
Thessaloniki is a sizeable city lined with olive trees, itself a port that was once a city within castle walls. It is closely located to the magnificent 2,917 metre-high Mount Olympus as well as the stunning beaches and coastline of Halkidiki. Throughout my stay, I visited each of the three peninsulas of nearby Halkidiki to experience the various different beaches and scenic coastlines, where the Aegean sea gently laps the shore, enticing you with their vibrant jade and turquoise waters. The pristine beaches attract locals and tourists alike with their rugged, unspoilt beauty and picturesque coastline. No wonder the Greeks are so fiercely proud of their nation, which despite a state of economic ruin, people seem to do their very best to try and live a normal life, tightening their belts as they go.
Greece is famous for many things including a rich history and culture; but these things aside, food is one of the most important things in the world to Greeks and conveniently this is an ethos that bodes particularly well with me also. When I think about Greeks, images from the movie ‘My Big Fat Greek Wedding’ spring to mind. “You don’t eat no meat? What do you mean you don’t eat no meat? Don’t worry, I make lamb!” – Aunt Voula’s answer to catering for vegetarians which had me roaring with laughter. In many countries including my own native Iran, vegetarianism is an affliction and is not something that many people partake in and I can confidently say that there really aren’t many vegetarians in Greece as most people seem to eat meat. Meat is very special to the Greeks and it’s very expensive and therefore revered accordingly.
But if like me you thought that Greeks eat a lot of lamb, you would be disappointed, as I found out at each meal time where pork seems to be the key player of meals that include meat. Lamb tends to be served mainly at Easter or Christmas and large family gatherings for special occasions. I was lucky enough to have been invited to two different homes for traditional meals; the first lunch was at the Gertsaki home where my friend Dimitra’s mother, Mrs Gertsaki made a huge pan of ‘Keftedes’ meatballs accompanied by tasty potato wedges bathed in olive oil and oregano (which seems to the be the herb of choice everywhere you go) slow cooked alongside the meatballs, soaking up their wonderful meaty juices. The table was laden with lots of other delicious treats, some of which seem to be a standard accompaniment for every meal, including tomato, cucumber and onion salad, my favourite Kalamata olives, feta cheese and a spicy spreadable feta cheese paste. All this food lovingly prepared just because I was in town, which made me feel very special indeed.
The second lunch was at the Katemliadis house, home to my friend Danis’ parents which proved to be an occasion for another feast with a freshly made Pastizio made by Mrs Katemliadis in my honour. Along with Keftedes, Pastizio is one of my favourite Greek dishes made in a big pan layering minced meat and macaroni with tomato sauce and topped with béchamel. Also served were wonderfully garlicky veal meatballs called Zukakia, swimming in a rich stewed tomato sauce. Every mouthful had my mouth watering and wanting more, but there is only so much once person can stomach sometimes! After two huge portions of Pastizio, many meatballs and various side dishes of salads, cheese and olives, I literally couldn’t eat another bite. But if I had any ideas of stopping at this point, they were quickly pushed aside by the near-immediate service of watermelon (Karpuzi) followed by a huge serving of syrup soaked ‘Reveni’ cake sprinkled with cinnamon powder. At this point, I cannot breathe and have to explain my predicament to my hosts in hope that they are not offended by my inability to put away any more food than I have already done.
Desserts in Greece are pretty interesting actually. Why so? Well I noticed that almost every dessert, however varied, seems to have one thing in common in the fact that they are usually either cake or pastry soaked in masses of syrup or honey. The first dessert I tried was ‘Bugatza’, delicious squares of layered filo pastry filled with a thick crème patisserie, served warm right from the oven and sprinkled with cinnamon. ‘Trigono’ quickly became one of my favourites also, which consist of crunchy little triangular pastry cones (similar to the layered sweetness of Baklava, minus the nuts) filled with a thick crème patisserie. ‘Loukoumades’ are little donuts that are soaked in honey syrup, although they also come both sugared and plain. I also tried various cakes as well as a dessert of nuts and thin vermicelli noodles, both soaked in honey syrup. Last but by no means least, we couldn’t possibly leave out ‘Baklava’ which in Thessaloniki is made using walnuts rather than the more familiar filling of pistachios or cashew nuts that we see in England.
After such sweet desserts, there is only one thing I crave and that is a nice cup of coffee to cut right through the syrupy sweet taste in my mouth. But in Greece coffee doesn’t just come at the end of a meal and it certainly isn’t just a morning thing either. In fact, whilst in Greece I quickly came to realise that going for coffee is a bit of an institution. Morning, noon or night, anytime is the perfect time to go out with friends or family and enjoy a long, leisurely coffee of your choice and this can take quite some time as they really don’t like to rush this whole coffee ritual. In summer you can grab a cooling ‘Freddo’ coffee over ice or a blended iced ‘Frappe’ coffee. If cold coffee isn’t your thing, how about a nice Greek coffee? Yes, I said Greek coffee, not Turkish coffee at all. I always thought that the international name for those little cups of devilishly dark and aromatic coffee with a head-piercing dose of caffeine was always ‘Turkish’ coffee… but clearly not so in Greece and if I were you, I would steer well clear of having this conversation as coffee is a serious business for the Greeks.
Having sunbathed on the beaches of Halkidiki and fished for delicious sea urchins in the Aegean sea, sipped coffee on Mount Olympus, lost myself in grove after grove of olive trees in the hills of Parthenonas and strolled the port and streets of Thessaloniki, I am once again back home in London and already wishing I was back in Greece. How did I not come here sooner? I guess that’s the thing about trying to see the world isn’t it? There is so much to see and so many countries you want to visit, so you don’t always get the time to see everything as soon as you would like to. Greece has definitely won my heart now and I would love nothing more than to be able to afford a little house in the hills around Halkidiki, but for now I will have to make do with booking another ticket to come back and visit my friends again in January to experience the winter and ski resorts of the mountains that overlook Thessaloniki. So ‘Evgalisto’ to my hosts in Greece for looking after me so well and taking me to so many wonderful places and feeding me so much wonderful food, despite my penchant for guzzling masses of diet coke (much to their horror!) with absolutely every meal.

As illness strikes us, we typically experience a painful choice: should I accept that I need to rely on the maintenance medications for the rest of my life? or should I refuse to have this curse and risk my suffering more? Often times, we are being forced to ask the very same questions, just because we are realizing that the medications that we once thought we cant live without is causing our own death slowly.
This article wishes to answer the above-mentioned questions, most especially, “What happens if I stop taking uloric?”
To be able to find out what may happen if you are going to stop taking uloric, we must first find out what really happens when we take uloric.
The noticeable aspect of the uloric is that it appears to reduce the uric acid and treat gout. However, there’s always more to it than just that.
In the first place, the uloric treats not either gout nor hyperuricemia. It actually cures nothing.
Therefore, what happens to the body when you take the uloric? You betray your body. As a matter of fact, uloric is intended to trick the system. It is a xanthine oxidase inhibitor. This just means that it suppresses the production of the uric acid through binding and damaging with the enzymes that do so. The enzyme that we’re talking about is the xanthine oxidase, it mistakes the uloric for a purine. Due to this fact, it tries to break down the xanthine oxidase via trying to bind with it. in this way, it may no longer react with the purine. If there is no purine breakdown, it just means that there’s no uric acid that’s produced.
This is actually not how the body should be working. As you ought to know, overpowering the bodily functions may distress the body as a whole. For example, when the liver keeps on detecting purine in spite the fact that it has already released so much xanthine oxidase, it’ll try to “overclock” its own self in order to produce more xanthine oxidase. This may be a huge burden for the liver.
Hence, to answer the question “what happens if I stop taking uloric?”
You should stop cheating on your system and save your liver from being overworked.
Since the purine is very important for the body and is very large to pass the filters of the kidneys without it, being broken down into uric acid. It’s not flushed out of the body. Over a period of time, purine may accumulate. This may cause a drastic drop and rise to the levels of uric acid in the body. the body will need to discard the uric acid part of that purine in any given way. The more appointments of purine breakdown that have been delayed, the more drastic will the rise and the drop is in the near future. Also, as long as the liver notices the high level of purine in the body, it’ll try to “overclock” itself again.
So, the next answer the question “what happens if I stop taking uloric?”
You should restore the normal flow of the purine, which is a necessity for the body!
Side Effects of Uloric
Because of the upset in the homeostasis of the body, a wide diversity and chain of side effects may happen. For example, the spike of the uric acid rise may cause a rapid degeneration of cells. This is mainly due to the acidosis, or the existence of excessive acids in the body. This may cause so many free radicals, which may in turn damage the cells. We know that cells are the building blocks of life. In fact, they are the foundation of the systems. Cells are our life. The body as a whole will be affected if the cells die
In fact, quite a lot of illnesses come from the cell degeneration. These include worsening of uric acid concentration, diabetes, and hypertension.
Most probably, if you are going to stop taking uloric, you’ll be seeking some alternative ways of treating gout and hyperuricemia. You may check on some other articles that we wrote to find out more about the side effects of the uloric, as well as some other xanthine oxidase inhibitors.

Horncastle’s county councillor Bill Aron has defended a reduction in the opening hours of the town’s library in the wake of fierce criticism.
Angry residents have bombarded the News with complaints after nine hours were slashed from the library’s opening times as part of a controversial raft of county-wide cuts.
Marie Aldridge, of Horncastle, said she had been using the library for 14 years and described the reduction in hours as ‘just too much.’
She claimed that if the authority made a better attempt to collect unpaid council tax bills, the library service would escape any cuts.
However, Coun Aron said opening hours had been reduced by less than first feared.
He told the News: “Although we have lost some hours, I am pleased to say it wasn’t as bad as first envisaged.
“I will be listening to those using the library and the effect the changes are having.
“By monitoring the situation, we will be able to see if the changes are having a detrimental effect and if so, I will see what can be done to resolve matters.
“Should anyone have any concerns then please contact me.”
Mrs Aldridge said: “I am not very happy about the situation.
“Some staff have gone and others have been moved around. It’s all just too much.
“The library should be an asset for the town. It draws people in.”
Vicky Brown, from Minting, said the cuts went too far and a reduction in evening opening times would hit children hard.
She added: “My children would use the library, but by the time they get home from school the library will be closed.”
Katheryne Lees, who lives near Louth, said she was upset by the cuts in hours - and in the mobile library service.
Student Sarah Lodge, 17, of Horncastle, added: “I’m at college in Lincoln but the library is not open in the evening now so it’s no good to me. I don’t know where I’m going to study now.”
