David Cameron and Nick Clegg promise to unveil proposals to provide more help for people with long-term care costs in coming weeks, but charities slam lack of detail.
The government has signalled it will limit individuals’ liability for long-term care costs in the coalition’s mid-termÂ review, published by David Cameron and Nick Clegg today. However, charities have slammed the lack of detail put forward by the government.
The forword to the review, which reflects on the coalitions’ record to date and future plans, promised “two big reforms to provide dignity in old age: an improved state pension that rewards saving, and more help with the costs of long-term care”.
Though further detail will be provided “in due course”, this is likely to involve introducing a cap on individual contributions to their long-term care costs to give people some protection against the risk of catastrophic care costs, as proposed by the Dilnot commission. The government is believed to support a cap of about Â£75,000, well above the Â£25,000-Â£50,000 limit suggested by the Dilnot commission.
“We were for hoping for clarity and certainty about the governmentâ€™s plans for helping with the costs of care and are deeply disappointed that we got neither today,” said Age UK charity director general Michelle Mitchell. “Meanwhile the social care system is careering towards breaking point, starved of funds, with investment failing to keep pace with the growing needs of an ageing population.”
“Despite the rhetoric on the need to reform the rules on charging for social care we have yet again been left without any detail of how this will be done,” said Andrew Chidgey, director of external affairs at Alzheimer’s Society.Â “People with dementia and other conditions are being hit with huge bills for inadequate care or care that arrives too late. They deserve to know an end to this injustice is in sight.”
In its JulyÂ 2011 report, the DilnotÂ commission, which was appointed by government, said that a cap outside the Â£25,000-Â£50,000 range would “not meet our criteria of fairness or sustainability”. The Treasury is believed to have concluded that the costs of Dilnot’s proposals would be unaffordable and a higher cap would be needed.
However, critics warn that a Â£75,000 cap would not give adequate protection from high care costs for people with moderate levels of wealth. Shadow health secretary Andy Burnham wrote on Twitter yesterday: “A care cap of Â£75,000 sounds like a reverse of the mansion tax. Those with modest homes will still lose them, but large properties protected.”
Dilnot also proposed raising the means-test threshold for residential care from Â£23,250 to Â£100,000, but it is not clear whether the government will also back this measure. Currently, people withÂ assets of more than Â£23,250Â receive no state funding for their residential care, though in some circumstances their housing wealth can be discounted from the calculation.
“To be considered fair, reform must include both a realistic cap and a substantial increase in the means-test threshold,” said charityÂ Independent Age’s chief executive, Janet Morrison.

How To Motivate Yourself To Workout
Sometimes all it takes is a little motivation to get you back on track and back in the gym. Instead of leaving you with just a few ways to get motivated, I have put together a list of 27 ways that you can use to motivate yourself to workout. Some of these are ones I personally use, while others were shared by friends, family, and clients.
After reading through this list, you should never have a problem motivating yourself to workout:
1. Set a goal that you really want to achieve. The most successful people that I have trained were ones with a specific goal in mind. Whether this is losing 15 pounds of fat or gaining 10 pounds of muscle, goals will help keep you motivated. Be sure to set a realistic time frame on your goal so it is not left open ended. Open-ended goals never seem to get finished.
2. Set a destination. Along the same lines as setting a goal, a destination is attainting a goal before a certain event: a family trip, a wedding, 50th birthday, grandbaby being born, etc. Having a destination will force you to stay on track, as there is a set date that you need to be ready by. If you do not have any destinations in the near future, set one. Set up a weekend getaway, plan on seeing a friend you haven’t seen in a while, plan a trip, etc.
3. Find a partner. Nothing will keep you more motivated than a great workout partner. Find someone who loves fitness and latch onto him or her. Allow them to push you in workouts and learn all you can from them (assuming they know what they are talking about.) This is how my journey started when I put on 30 pounds of muscle in three months. I knew my good friend Levi was very knowledgeable about health and fitness, plus he pushed himself very hard in every workout. I joined forces with him and my other friend Brian, and we went to work!
4. Start eating better. When you eat better, you feel better. This will then lead to having more energy. When you eat bad, you will find that your motivation drops terribly. Start focusing on eating real foods the majority of the time, and watch as you start hitting the gym more often and with much more energy.
5. Compete. There is nothing like some good ol’ competition to keep you motivated. Challenge a friend or co-worker to see who can stay the strongest to their workout plan. Note that this does not say, “who can workout the most” as this will only lead to overtraining. Set up 3-5 workouts a week and see who can stick to the plan. This will hold you accountable, as no one likes losing a competition.
6. Reward yourself. Rewards are huge especially when you are just starting out. When I began, my reward was the gratification of knowing that I became a stronger and better basketball player from my workouts. Now, I find rewards in many different ways: a rest day, a nutrition cheat day, a nice meal out, weekend vacation, etc. Find something to reward yourself with so you can stay motivated and stick with your workouts.
7. Track your progress. When you see written progress on exercises and workouts, you will see that you are improving. Improvements always lead to more motivation because you continually will want better numbers (ie. doing more weight on exercises, more reps than the previous workout, etc.). Track each workout then review your progress on a weekly basis.
8. Take a break. Rest is good! Many times you will find that you are unmotivated because you are simply worn out. Taking a few days off from your workouts will help your body rejuvenate and be ready to go for your next workout. Understand that if you have not worked out in 3 years, this does not apply to you. You may need a vacation from work or life, but certainly not from your lack of workouts.
9. Find the time that works best for you. We all have varying schedules and different times that work better to workout. For example, my wife just cannot find the energy to workout in the afternoon so during the mornings before work is when she goes. On the other hand, there are plenty of people who are not morning people and workout in the afternoon or night. Figure out when you have more energy and time, and get your workout done then.
10. Find inspiration. Inspiration for me comes from my friends who workout hard and eat healthy. I see them getting results so this keeps me motivated to work hard and outdo them. Simply seeing someone who is very fit can be your inspiration or for some just reading an inspirational quote will do the trick. Everyone is different so discover what will inspire you and stick with it.
11. Make it known. Tell everyone you know that you are going to start working out. Post it on Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn, etc. This will allow your goals to be out in the open and show others you are serious about doing it. You will be surprised by how much support you will get from family and friends when they see you trying to get fit.
12. Get support. Accomplishing any goal is going to be very tough so that it why it is important to find support on your journey. Get an accountability partner to make sure you stay on track. Or shoot me an email and I’d be glad to support you.
13. Build off your successes. Nothing feels better than having success at something new. Maybe just showing up to a workout is a success, if so, then build off of that. Look for any small successes that will keep you motivated: doing more weight than the previous workout, beating your time on sprints, doing one more rep on an exercise than the time before, etc. Any success is a success, so run with it!
14. Kill the negativity. Negative thoughts and people will come on your journey. Don’t allow them to bring you down. Instead, kill those negative thoughts and replace them with positives. Positivity goes a long way so start practicing it in all situations.
15. Think about what you are gaining. When we take on a new task, we often only see the difficulties of that task. We get clouded and don’t allow ourselves to see all the amazing benefits that are to come. Working out will lead to more energy, better health, and an overall better life. Don’t let the difficulties of getting in shape cloud your final destination.
16. Join a boot-camp. Boot camps are a perfect way to keep you motivated as it forms a community for you to be a part of. Once you get going on the boot camp, the last thing you want to do is disappoint the other boot campers by not showing up. This will hold you accountable and keep you motivated.
17. Get a playlist. Music is a perfect motivator when you do not want to workout. Find a few songs that get you fired up on life, put them on then start driving to your workout. Once you are at the gym you have no other option but to get your workout in.
18. Have answers for your excuses. The excuses are endless that we come up with for not working out. You must know which ones you tend to use the most and prepare a response to shut down that excuse. Don’t allow an excuse to get in your way of success. Prepare a response so the excuses have no authority over you.
19. Hire a trainer. For some, just getting to the gym is hard enough. So hiring a trainer will keep you accountable to show up to your workouts. If you simply cannot workout on your own (for whatever reason), find a trainer that will push you and force you to show up.
20. Take a picture. When it comes to working out, people want to see visual results. This is what they measure their successes upon. Although it is not all about looking good (I mean the ultimate goal is always to become more overall healthy), we like to actually see the results we are getting. Taking a picture is a good way to track progress and see how far you have come.
21. Surround yourself with positive people. As was stated earlier, positivity can go a long way. There is just something about positive people that brings out the best in others. Whenever I am feeling down, being around someone (or just talking to someone) that is positive brings my mood right back up. If you feel unmotivated to get in a workout, find someone that is on fire for life and listen to him or her. This will put you in a great mood and motivate you in all areas of your life, including getting that workout in.
22. Start small. Starting small allows you to have immediate success. If you have not worked out in five years, don’t expect to just start working out five days a week. Instead, set the goal of working out two days a week for 30 minutes each time. Then you can build up to doing more over time.
23. Visualize your success daily. Many different studies have shown the power of visualization and the impact it can have on the outcomes of your goals. Visualizing your success will keep you motivated each day to keep pushing on towards your ultimate destination. If you ever feel like not working out, try to visualize where you want to be and I can almost guarantee it will change your mind about missing a workout.
24. Don’t beat yourself up, pick yourself up. Mistakes happen. Workouts are missed and you will mess up on your nutrition plan. Don’t beat yourself up when these things happen. Instead, use it as motivation to get better. If missed workouts start to become a pattern that is when you need to reevaluate what you are doing.
25. Stop the complaining. There is nothing worse than someone that is constantly complaining about everything. It sucks the energy right out of the room. There comes a point when the excuses must stop, and you buckle down and go to work. Complaining will get you nowhere.
26. Do it for the kids. As humans, we are meant to be active. But with technology today, we are becoming more and more sedentary. The kids of this generation have it the worst, and for you parents out there, it is your job to keep them active. Get them involved in sports, go on hikes, go to the pool or beach, or simply go and throw the football around. By keeping your kids active, you are also keeping yourself active. For your motivation, get in good enough shape so that you can always keep up with your kids, no matter what age you are!
27. Don’t ever, EVER give up! What is the point of starting something if you are just going to give up half way through? Starting is the easy part, it is the journey that is hard. There will be bumps along the way but know that each time you push past a difficulty, you move one step closer to reaching your goal.
Find what motivates you and get started today. There is no better time than now to start changing your health and your life.
In what other ways do you motivate yourself to workout? Please share below…

Modern Family was the most recent TV show to stir up controversy last night when 2-year-old Lily horrified her parents (and the Parents Television Council) by learning her first four-letter word (rhymes with “muck”). With those four letters, Modern Family joined a long tradition of small-screen swearing. In 1972, comedian George Carlin put forth a treatise called “Seven Words You Can Never Say on Television.” Now, 40 years later, how many of those prohibitions have held up? READ FULL STORY
Tag: South Park (11-20 of 58)
South Park wasted no time in getting around to the sexual abuse scandal which has shaken the foundation of Penn State to its core. But the questions synonymous with Trey Parker and Matt Stone’s button-pushing series — “Too soon?” and “Did they go too far this time?” — will no doubt be asked again after last night’s episode.
The episode, titled “The Poor Kid,” featured (a still alive) Kenny and his siblings being taken out of their parents custody when they got in trouble with the law. (All together now: Simpsons did it!) But South Park dared to cross the line once again and attempted to make the decidedly unfunny Penn State scandal funny by skewering the very people who attempt to make light of the horrific news. In this case, it was the kids’ social worker, a wildly inappropriate jokester named Mr. Adams. READ FULL STORY
These are trying times, PopWatchers. The economy is still in disarray, there’s no pro basketball, and Courtney Stodden exists, technically, as a real human person. Thankfully, South Park is still around to skewer the hell out of the increasingly maddening world around us with their effortlessly blended brand of genius and juvenile humor. (This season alone, the animated series has parodied the Occupy Wall Street movement, challenged the hysteria surrounding the Royal Wedding, and taken aim at U.S. border patrol.)
The news was announced today that South Park has been renewed for an additional three seasons, ensuring that they’ll run all the way until 2016 to their 20th season. With the concerns of whether or not Matt Parker and Trey Stone would return as far back in our minds as Towelie, fans can only ponder, what now? What can we look forward to in the South Park arsenal in the coming years? READ FULL STORY
Before their brilliantly un-PC musical Book of Mormon opened on Broadway and transformed them into Tony winners, co-authors Trey Parker and Matt Stone paid a visit to The Late Show with David Letterman. While there, Letterman joked to the duo about their show, “I think I just heard Eugene O’Neill turn over in his grave.” (Funnily enough, that sound bite has been used as a selling point in ads for the sold-out-until-the-end-of-time show.)
Of course, if their deliriously offensive musical didn’t make O’Neill do that yet, last night’s South Park probably did. The Broadway-themed episode — titled “Broadway Bro-Down,” which was co-written by Parker and Stone’s Book of Mormon collaborator Robert Lopez — suggested that not only do the toe-tapping shows we all know and love have subtext that makes women, er, perform for their dates, but that said shows are written by a bunch of high-fiving, beer-guzzling chauvinists. Those chauvinists being Broadway legends like Stephen Sondheim, Elton John, and Andrew Lloyd Webber. READ FULL STORY
The South Park mid-season finale famously left audiences teetering in limbo, with Stan’s parents divorced, Stan seemingly living somewhere else, and the episode’s critique of the show’s one-crazy-adventure-after-another story structure casting doubt on whether Matt Stone and Trey Parker even wanted to continue making South Park.
But praise Queen Spider, South Park is back, at least through 2013. Tonight’s episode seems like classic South Park shenanigans, too, at least judging from the episode title — “Ass Burgers” — and the preview clip of Eric Cartman going to the school nurse, faking some kind of ailment in his buns, and her finding a hamburger hiding in his pants.

Man, college kids are so lucky these days. The most interesting thing to ever happen to me back in school was when I accidentally robo-tripped during a Faulkner discussion section when I had the flu. (Absalom, Absalawesome!) But now Hollywood’s most talented are crashing college courses. At least, South Park‘s Matt Stone and Trey Parker are at NYU. Currently circling the Interwebs is a video (embedded below) of the writing duo walking in on a writing class at the university. They taught the students that the best South Park episodes go something like, “This happens and therefore this happens, but this happens, therefore this happens.” Seriously, it’s actually pretty interesting! Of course, the lesson would have been better had it been delivered by Mr. Mackey, m’kay? READ FULL STORY
Comparing South Park to The Simpsons is like comparing cheesy poofs to doughnuts. Both are delicious, rich, and stay with you even after they’re finished. (Gross!) So how can we possibly determine which is the more superior animated comedy? It’s a tough debate, but Sandra Gonzalez and I attempted to name a victor. So read on, neighbor-inos, and let us know what you think in the comments below, m’kay?
(This is part of an ongoing series of posts in which EW writers debate the most defining pop culture rivalries. Past subjects have included Britney Spears/Christina Aguilera, Schwarzenegger/Stallone, Godfather/Goodfellas, Movies/Videogames, and the neverending boy-band battle between ‘N Sync and the Backstreet Boys. Come back here Thursday for more exciting face-offs!)
Kate Ward (South Park: Oh, awesome!): Okay, let’s get this started. Now, if the argument here was South Park versus The Simpsons seasons 1-11, I’d say you’d surely win in a landslide. Unfortunately, The Simpsons has allowed itself to shrink into a state of irrelevance over the past decade. Say it with me: D’oh! READ FULL STORY
A celebratory dinner at Casa Bonita is in order, PopWatchers: The date for the second half of the 15th season of South Park has been announced! Comedy Central confirmed to EW that the animated series will be returning on Wednesday, October 5 at 10 p.m. The latter half of the 15th season will include seven new episodes.
The network also likely put the fears of many fans to rest that the show’s creators Trey Parker and Matt Stone were calling it quits after they alluded to a possible end to the series during June’s mid-season finale “You’re Getting Old.” READ FULL STORY

I'm more than excited to share some information regarding what we have been working on the past few weeks. But please keep in mind that this post isn't meant to be an update post, it's meant as a post to keep you guys, the players, updated on what we are planning to do with Jartex.
But let's get to the topic from this thread, the direction we want to go with the minigames at Jartex.
We have been working on some fun and exciting things lately, and we can finally update you all on what we have been doing. As all of you know, the minigames (EggWars, BedWars & SkyWars) are a huge part of our community. While I am writing this topic, we have 913 players playing on SkyWars & BedWars. We run an extra of 164 servers just for SkyWars & BedWars.This also means our suggestions, bug reports, and any discussions on the forums are mostly related to these minigames.
The current state of these 3 games do not fit our needs, and we want to improve that. Little do you know, we already started working on improvements on these gamemodes. We have been working for around 4 months on preparing an amazing and big update for all of the minigames, which also includes the current legacy gamemode EggWars. We are planning on releasing all these updates at once, so once the update hits our servers all of the minigames will include the new features & performance changes, which means less lag and smoother gameplay.
Here is a small list of the many things we already started working on, and some of them are even already finished!
- Rewriting the whole core system on how we save and load data, to decrease the lag.
- Keeping track of more game statistics to make leaderboards more challenging.
- Making games more fun to play by tweaking kits and removing old features.
- Reasons to grind minigames, by this I mean that you can make progress as you play, so you'll get rewarded for how long and how much you play these games.
- Adding cosmetics? *wait what?!*
- Tweaking gameplay to suit the current style of our server, and the gameplay players are asking for.
- ... and much more!
- Missions. New missions every day & week. Spice up your gameplay by completing challenging missions. These missions will give you a reward based on the gamemode you are playing on.
- Cosmetics. Yes, that's right, cosmetics are going to be a thing here at Jartex. From lobby cosmetics to in-game cosmetics. The way these cosmetics are going to be earned will be a secret for now, but I am sure you guys will enjoy it!
- Boosters. For those who want to support our server, and at the same time earn more from there games played we will be adding boosters to our server shop. Boost your favorite gamemode and double the coin income for an hour. Players will also be able to thank you for your booster, which will give the booster owner, and the player itself some extra coins!
- Better statistics. All gamemodes will be keeping track of more, and time-based statistics. With this, we can make things more challenging, and create fun competitions. This also means the leaderboards will have multiple features of showing different statistics on every game!
- New lobbies. All of the games will receive new lobbies with fun extra things to explore by yourself!
You can leave your suggestions by leaving a comment here in the reactions, or by writing out a suggestion here (click)!
With this all being said, it's time to wrap this up and end it here. We hope you guys are able to provide us some great ideas we can implement, and together we can make Jartex even a better server!

"How do you know when a poem is finished?" someone once asked Frank O'Hara. His immediate, and now legendary, answer: "The telephone rings." That retort, undoubtedly issued along with a plume of cigarette smoke, may sound flippant, but it neatly illustrates the continuous relationship between self and art that characterized the work of the New York School of poets. As David Lehman points out in "The Last Avant-Garde," the "school" -- which included John Ashbery, James Schuyler, Kenneth Koch and O'Hara -- is aptly named because their poems, like the dripped- and splattered-on canvases of the New York School of painters, were arenas for action rather than representation. Here, for example, is an excerpt from O'Hara's breathless poem "Memorial Day, 1950":
My mother and father asked me
and I told them from my tight blue pants we
should love only the
stones, the sea, and heroic figures. Wasted
child! I'll club you on the
shins! I wasn't surprised when the older
people entered my cheap
hotel room and broke my guitar and my can
of blue paint.
At that time all of us began to think
with our bare hands and even with blood all
over them, we knew
vertical from horizontal, we never smeared
anything except to find
out how it lived.
Lehman argues that, because the New York School poets drew from the unbuttoned physicality of modern art (as opposed to Eastern mysticism), they may have more lasting impact than the other literary movements of the 1950s. The Beats may have "made more noise," Lehman writes, but they produced art with a less radical and less informed understanding of expression. The relationship between the two groups could get tense. Jack Kerouac heckled O'Hara during a 1959 reading, calling out, "You're ruining American poetry, O'Hara!" The poet shot back: "That's more than you ever did for it."
The New York School arrived at a perfect moment. The New Critics were lionizing logical and morally earnest "concerned citizen" poetry, and Lionel and Diana Trilling gave the establishment's sanction to only the most solemn new writers. By contrast, the four poets generated around their own bold, apolitical literary innovations an enthusiastically gay (in both senses of the word) atmosphere. They created numerous tandem compositions -- including plays, operas and illustrated chapbooks -- with the more coltish second generation New York School painters, Larry Rivers, Jane Freilicher and Fairfield Porter. Lehman compellingly re-creates this energy; you can sense the breakneck wit that passed between any two of them.
In part two of his book, "The Ordeal of the Avant-Garde," Lehman abandons his sure narration for an equivocal kind of cultural criticism. He cobbles together a definition of the avant-garde and then challenges its characteristics as inherently contradictory: Can a movement encourage collaboration while still privileging "that insubordinate individual, 'the modern artist?'" Can it be adversarial but not produce political (and, so, one-dimensional) art? And -- apropos of the present-day poet's particular ordeal -- if art cannot at once be academic and avant-garde, how can an artist find that necessary resistance when "everything is instantly accepted, absorbed, glorified, bought, sold, copied, recycled, trashed?" These are good questions, even if Lehman is hardly the first to ask them. Too bad the answers he supplies are often less than conclusive.
The first half of "The Last Avant-Garde" is entertaining, however; it's certainly more habitable than "City Poet," Brad Gooch's often myopic biography of O'Hara. (Lehman is well-positioned to write his version -- a former student of Koch's at Columbia and an accomplished poet himself, Lehman is the series editor of the annual "Best of American Poetry" volumes, and he functions as something of a poetry impresario in New York.) Lehman's formidable wit, and eye for details that recall an era that begrudged happiness and happenstance in its art, reminds us how necessary the New York School was -- and is.

A female Member of Parliament says she punched a man in self-defence.
Phumzile van Damme from South Africa’s opposition Democratic Alliance said she punched the man after her allegedly racially abused her.
According to the lawmaker, she got into a row with a white woman at a popular tourist destination in Cape Town when the man stepped in.
Van Damme said she was standing in a supermarket queue when she quarrelled with the woman who allegedly told her she would “push (her) aside”.
“Then when I went out, she was standing there with her family in a threatening manner. And I went to her and said, ‘why are you looking at me in a threatening manner?’ Then she said, ‘it’s because you’re black.’
She said the man “was threatening violence so in self-defence I punched him in the head”.
The legislator further expressed her unhappiness with the establishment’s reaction after she reported the matter.
The V&A Waterfront has apologised for the incident stating, “We regret this incident, which we did not handle with the necessary objectivity, respect and empathy,” they wrote on twitter.
Van Damme accepted the apology but has threatened to file charges with the police.
Radio presenter attacked
This comes three months after a South African radio presenter, Samora Mangesi was attacked after stopping to assist a group of white people whose vehicle had overturned.
After stopping to check on the group, they allegedly referred to Mangesi and his friends as ‘monkeys.’
“When we engaged them on why we were being called such, they beat me up until I was unconscious,” wrote the presenter, sharing photos of his badly swollen face.

Transit is still a very physical process. Size of the transport mode should fit demand and the occasion, it is that simple. Hate to see people yapping that Public Transport will solve a lot. Maybe so during commuting hours, but outside those having a bus carry just a few people is such a waste of space, hardware and financial resources, worse if this happens in a dedicated bus lane, with battery drive. There’s a lot that can be shared, you got that right: modalities, public space, resources. PT and TNCs ought to work together.

FP-ELISA II (EIA Test Kit)This page contains information on FP-ELISA II (EIA Test Kit) for veterinary use.
The information provided typically includes the following:
- FP-ELISA II (EIA Test Kit) Indications
- Warnings and cautions for FP-ELISA II (EIA Test Kit)
- Direction and dosage information for FP-ELISA II (EIA Test Kit)
FP-ELISA II (EIA Test Kit)This treatment applies to the following species:
EQUINE INFECTIOUS ANEMIA VIRUS ANTIBODY TEST KIT
FUSION PROTEIN ENZYME-LINKED IMMUNOSORBENT ASSAY
SUMMARY AND EXPLANATION
The FP-ELISA II kit utilizes a synthetic antigen from the virus envelope and a core p26 antigen fused into one protein in an enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) for the qualitative determination of antibodies to Equine Infectious Anemia Virus (EIAV) in equine serum. The fusion protein (FP) is coated onto microwells and conjugated to horseradish peroxidase. In field trials, the results of testing by the EIAV antibody test show a high correlation with the agar gel immunodiffusion test of Coggins (1). Because there is no cure and no approved vaccine for EIAV, disease control measures are limited to the identification and isolation of infected animals (2, 3). The FP-ELISA II antibody test provides a rapid and reliable method for the detection of EIAV antibodies.
PRINCIPLES OF THE TEST
In the FP-ELISA II test, the wells of the microplate are coated with the fusion protein which contains amino acid sequences identical to a section of an EIAV envelope protein and a recombinant core antigen. The result is multiple epitopes of EIAV are available to bind antibody present in the serum specimen of an EIAV infected equid.
Serum samples are added to wells and incubated at room temperature (15-25 °C) for 10 minutes, then wells are washed with distilled or deionized water. Next, the fusion protein conjugated to horseradish peroxidase is added and incubated at room temperature (15-25 °C) for 5 minutes, then wells are again washed with distilled or deionized water. A single component TMB chromogen (tetramethylbenzidine) is added to the wells and incubated for 5 minutes at room temperature (15-25 °C). Finally, a stop solution is added to end the reaction.
If antibodies are present in the test specimen, color develops in the well. If antibodies are absent, no color or only minimal color develops. Positive and negative control sera are run with each group of serum specimens to provide representative color development.
REAGENTS: All materials are provided ready-to use.
1. Microplate wells, coated with fusion protein of EIAV envelope and core antigen
2. Conjugate of EIAV fusion protein and horseradish peroxidase in phosphate buffered saline with stabilizing proteins and Microcide III (green label)
3. Single Component TMB (Tetramethylbenzidine) Chromogen (black label)
4. Positive Control Serum with Microcide III (red label)
5. Negative Control Serum with Microcide III (blue label)
6. Stop Solution (contains 5% phosphoric acid) (pink label)
Materials Required But Not Provided
1. Wash bottle
2. Micropipettor capable of delivering 50 microliters
3. Disposable tips
4. Distilled or de-ionized water
Optional Materials Not Provided
1. Microplate wash system.
2. Multichannel pipettor (50 microliter) and disposable tips
3. Microplate reader
1. Do not mix reagents or microplate wells of one kit with those from another serial or lot number. Do not use after the expiration date shown on the package label.
2. For animal use only and for sale only to USDA/APHIS approved laboratories.
3. Vigorous and thorough removal of conjugate from the wells is more critical for assay performance and avoiding false positive reactions than the momentary contact diluted fluid may have with adjacent wells during washing.
4. The Conjugate has a green dye to facilitate noticing which wells it has been added to, and how thoroughly it has been removed during the wash procedure.
5. Warm reagents to room temperature (15-25 °C) prior to each use.
STORAGE AND STABILITY
All materials provided in the test kit should be stored at 2°-7 °C. Unused wells of the microplate should be stored, and re-sealed properly, with the desiccant in the bag provided.
SPECIMEN COLLECTION AND PREPARATION
Equine serum is recommended for use with the FP-ELISA II test kit. Whole blood samples should have the serum fraction separated by centrifugation and decantation. Serum separators may also be used. Anticoagulants are not recommended.
Specimens may be stored, on or off the clot, at refrigerator temperature (2-8 °C) for up to 21 days. Samples stored on the clot should have the serum fraction separated by centrifugation and decantation prior to use. If longer storage is needed, serum should first be separated from the clot and then specimens frozen at -20°C. Repeated freezing and thawing should be avoided. Frozen samples should thaw at room temperature (15-25 °C) and should be mixed by gentle inversion before testing begins.
1. Remove the FP-ELISA II test kit from the refrigerator about one hour before use to allow reagents and microplate wells to come to room temperature.
2. Use a single microplate well for each serum specimen, Positive Control Serum and Negative Control Serum. Return the remainder of microplate wells in the plate to the storage bag with the desiccant. Re-seal bag.
3. Identify and record a well location for each control and serum specimen. Alternatively, identification may be written directly on the side of the well.
1. Add 50 microliters of control or serum specimen to the appropriate wells. Use a new pipette tip for each sample and control.
2. Incubate the uncovered wells at room temperature (15-25 °C) for ten (10) minutes.
3. At the end of the incubation, invert wells and flick out contents into an appropriate container. Using a wash bottle filled with distilled or deionized water, rinse wells to overflowing with a forceful stream of water. Flick water from wells and repeat the wash step until a total of 5 washes has been completed.
4. Tap the inverted wells vigorously on absorbent material to remove any residual wash solution.
5. Add one (1) drop or 50 microliters of fusion protein HRP conjugate to each microplate well.
6. Incubate the uncovered wells at room temperature (15-25 °C) for five (5) minutes.
7. At the end of the incubation, invert wells and flick out contents into an appropriate container. Using a wash bottle filled with distilled or deionized water, rinse wells to overflowing with a forceful stream of water. Flick water from wells and repeat the wash step until a total of 5 washes has been completed.
8. Tap the inverted wells vigorously on absorbent material to remove any residual wash solution.
9. Add two (2) drops or 100 microliters of TMB Chromogen to each test microwell.
10. Incubate for five (5) minutes to allow for blue color development. If interpreting results visually, read immediately. The use of a white background facilitates the observation of color.
11. A stop solution is included in the test and recommended if there will be any delay in reading the results, or if a spectrophotometer will be used, (or if there is blue-green color blindness). Add two (2) drops or 100 microliters of Stop Solution to each well. The blue color will now become yellow. If a spectrophotometer is used, the microplate may be read at 450nm.
The Positive Control Serum produces an intense color in the assay. When read spectrophotometrically with the spectrophotometer blanked on air, the Positive Control Serum should yield an O.D. of 0.3 to 1.5. If color development in the Positive Control Serum is weak or appears to be less than usual to the experienced user, the assay should be repeated. A lack of color development in the Positive Control Serum may be due to the use of expired or damaged reagents or wells. The Negative Control Serum produces either no color or only a faint tint. When read spectrophotometrically, the Negative Control Serum should yield an O.D. of 0.0 to 0.100. The presence of color could be due to cross contamination during the test procedure or inadequate washing of the wells.
For visual determination, any test well yielding color development greater than the Negative Control Serum should be considered positive for antibodies to EIAV. Wells which visually show color development equal to or less than the Negative Control Serum should be considered to contain serum specimens which are free of detectable antibody to EIAV.
For spectrophotometric determination, blank the spectrophotometer on air. Add 0.05 OD to the negative control value to establish the test cutoff value. Specimen wells with values above the cutoff should be considered positive for antibodies to EIAV. Specimen wells with values equal to or below the cutoff should be considered negative for antibodies to EIAV. Any positive ELISA evaluation should be confirmed using the agar gel immunodiffusion (AGID) test. Discrepant samples should be re-evaluated according to State regulations or be sent to the National Veterinary Services Laboratories in Ames, Iowa for confirmation before being reported as positive.

I would like to use sentinel 2A imagery to look at canopy cover in Northern Vietnam. The only problem is that ALL the recent images have large amounts of cloud in the area I want to look at.
Is it possible to use the cloud mask vector image that you can also download remove the clouds so that you can "see through" to the forest below?
And in this way use the imagery under the clouds to perform an analysis of canopy cover?
Otherwise are there any other options?
I need a decent resolution because the site is only 5000ha, so in this case I think all Landsat imagery is probably not fine enough.

- US farmers, environmentalists sue EPA for ‘illegally’ approving Dow’s deadly 2,4-D herbicide!
by L.J. Devon, http://www.naturalnews.com/
(NaturalNews) In one fell swoop, the Environmental Protection Agency officially became the Environmental Holocaust Kingpin when they approved Dow’s deadly new Enlist Duo. This new two-headed monster herbicide is comprised of Monsanto’s gut-wrenching, gut-microbe-destroying glyphosate and Dow’s endocrine-disrupting, neurologically damaging 2,4-D weedkiller. The new herbicide is designed specifically for use on Dow’s recently approved genetically modified corn and soybean crops. These new Dow GM seeds were recently approved by the USDA and are engineered to tolerate Dow’s matching Enlist Duo herbicide.
Top environmental groups to challenge the EPA in court
In one decision, the EPA will allow tens of millions of acres of farmland to be poisoned, as Enlist Duo is unleashed. The chemical runoff will likely impact entire ecosystems. Enlist Duo is now approved for use in Illinois, Iowa, Indiana, Ohio, South Dakota and Wisconsin. Another 10 states await approval. With one stroke of a pen, the EPA has allowed Big Chemical to unleash its most toxic combination herbicide into the environment since DDT.
The independent Environmental Working Group has been warning about the deadly consequences if these chemicals were approved. In a petition to the EPA, they state, “We need to do everything we can to make sure the EPA keeps this toxic weed killer away from our food and out of our environment.” Sadly, the EPA didn’t listen, as the independent scientific community came up short in keeping herbicidal hell from entering the environment.
Now, farmers and environmental groups are filing a lawsuit to overturn the EPA’s dangerous and contradictory ruling. The lawsuit was filed in the US Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit in California and questions why the active ingredients in the new 2,4-D combination were not adequately analyzed before being quickly approved on October 15. The lawsuit calls on the court to block the EPA’s approval, citing that widespread use of the herbicide poses a grave threat to the health of the environment, animals, and humans. The groups also claim that the approval violates both the Endangered Species Act and the Federal Insecticide, Fungicide, and Rodenticide Act.
“This was a rubber stamp. They acted illegally in approving this,” said Andrew Kimbrell, attorney for the Center for Food Safety. CFS is joined by Beyond Pesticides, the Center for Biological Diversity, the National Family Farm Coalition, the Pesticide Action Network of North America and the Environmental Working Group.
Just one day after the controversial herbicide approval, the National Resource Defense Council filed suit against the EPA, speaking out about the chemical’s harm against human health and monarch butterfly populations.

Gas Prices Near 6-Year Highs, No Inflation? Who SaysThursday
July 03, 2014 12:59
*** begin quote ***
While official government statistics show U.S. inflation at still low levels, anyone who buys gas, food or health insurance can attest to the fact that inflation exists in our everyday lives. GasBuddy has predicted that U.S. consumers will see the most expensive July 4th since 2008 at the gas pump.
Despite the dramatic increase in U.S. oil production in recent years, GasBuddy estimates that Americans are likely to pay about $1.435 billion per day for gasoline during the holiday week, about $50 million more each day, or $350 million more per week than last year.
*** end quote ***
Any wonder why the “stock market” is going up while the “standard of living” is going down like the Titanic!
The value of the Federal Reserve Note!
THREE silver dimes from 1964, when I started buying gas, would buy ONE GALLON of gas. At $21.15 per silver ounce, those SAME THREE SILVER DIMES are worth $5.70. Far more than a gallon of gas. (Never mind that today’s gas is better, cleaner, and healthier.)
So what’s changed?
The value of money has been inflated away by the Gooferment politicians and bureaucrats for the benefit of the Crony Capitalists and the Banking Cartel.
When do The Sheeple wake up?

Most people do not have much experience with attorneys, so if finding a good one becomes necessary they may not know where to begin. There are many good and honest lawyers available to represent you. The information in this article will help you know for sure you have found the right one.
If a lawyer is desperate for you, then don’t hire them. This is often the domain of scammers. Make sure that you do your own research, and if something looks too good to be true then it probably is.
It is important to think about the specialty of a lawyer your are hiring. You want to make sure you hire the lawyer you need. You do not want to hire a lawyer that specializes in criminal law to do your estate planning. Choosing a lawyer that specializes in whatever area of law you need, will guarantee you get someone who has a lot of experience in that area and can do a good job.
A good tip if you’re looking to hire a lawyer is to try to find the right lawyer for the task you need. If you’re simply wanting to draw up a contract, hiring a big shot, corporate lawyer is probably overkill and is just going to cost you a lot more.
A good tip to remember if you’re going to be working with a lawyer in a criminal case is to be completely honest. By law, anything that you say to your lawyer has to remain confidential. Telling the truth will also give your lawyer the best shot at winning your case.
Use a notebook to write down all the details of any phone call or personal visit with your lawyer. Keep track of when the meeting was, how much you paid, on most importantly, any information you discussed concerning your case. You want to keep good records of the time your lawyer did work for you. Then you will have good documentation if you do not understand the bill.
If you have been in an accident, do not hire any lawyer that comes to you and tries to solicit your business. This is not only unethical, but it is against the law. You do not want to hire anyone to handle your legal case if you have to worry about their legal ethics.
Look for people who have experienced similar problems and ask them which lawyers they used. Your friends and relatives might be helpful but do not follow their suggestions unless you need a lawyer for the same kind of issues. Use the different resources available in your community, such as support groups.
Avoid lawyers that use the term “slam dunk” in regards to any situation or case. Seasoned legal professionals know that the law is rarely a cut and dry matter. Otherwise, lawyers might not need to exist at all! You do want a confident attorney, but not an arrogant or ignorant one.
There are sure to be questions in your mind when you search for the right attorney to represent your case. There are some basic steps you should follow when searching for good legal representation. The valuable tips listed this article will help to get you started in the right direction.

- Chemokine scavenging by D6: a movable feast?
Trends in Immunology, Volume 27, Issue 8, 1 August 2006, Pages 381-386
Gerard J. Graham and Clive S. McKimmie
AbstractThe atypical chemokine receptor, D6, is efficient at sequestering and scavenging inflammatory CC chemokines. The absence of D6 blocks the successful resolution of immune responses in models of inflammation, suggesting that CC-chemokine scavenging by D6 is an important component of the resolution phase of in vivo inflammatory responses. Most studies have suggested that lymphatic endothelial cells are the main vehicles for D6 function in vivo. Here, we propose that leukocytes, which also express D6, could be more-effective vehicles for D6 scavenging function. Thus, leukocytes might be the primary cell type that removes inflammatory chemokines from inflamed tissues. We also propose that lymphatic endothelial cell-expressed D6 might have a distinct but complementary role in restricting inflammatory leukocyte access to the lymphatic vasculature.

Cell, Volume 140, Issue 4, 19 February 2010, Pages 460-476
Tuomas Tammela and Kari Alitalo
SummaryThe growth of lymphatic vessels (lymphangiogenesis) is actively involved in a number of pathological processes including tissue inflammation and tumor dissemination but is insufficient in patients suffering from lymphedema, a debilitating condition characterized by chronic tissue edema and impaired immunity. The recent explosion of knowledge on the molecular mechanisms governing lymphangiogenesis provides new possibilities to treat these diseases.

- Regulation and implications of inflammatory lymphangiogenesis
Trends in Immunology, Volume 33, Issue 7, 1 July 2012, Pages 350-356
Honsoul Kim, Raghu P. Kataru and Gou Young Koh
AbstractLymphatic vessels (LVs) are highly dynamic structures that intimately interact with their surrounding microenvironment. They have a profound influence on the immune system and therefore can manipulate inflammatory processes. Inflammation is a major cause of adulthood lymphangiogenesis and LV remodeling. In turn, LVs can reciprocally manipulate inflammatory processes. For instance, LV growth and/or activation regulate antigen presentation and inflammatory cell recruitment to lymph nodes (LNs), and therefore critically affect adaptive immunity. The vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF)-C−VEGF receptor-3 and VEGF-A−VEGF receptor-2 signaling pathways are particularly important in inflammatory lymphangiogenesis. LVs contribute to the pathophysiology of various inflammatory conditions. Knowledge of lymphatic biology can be applied to manipulate inflammatory disorders and divert immune responses. This review summarizes basic concepts of inflammation-relevant lymphatic biology, and describes recent progress and practical implications.

D6: the ‘crowd controller’ at the immune gateway
The chemokine-scavenging receptor, D6, is reported to regulate resolution of inflammatory responses. However, recent data also point to an unanticipated role for D6 in coordinating innate and adaptive immune responses. Here, we propose that D6 is essential for preventing inflammatory leukocyte association with lymphatic vasculature. In the absence of D6, inappropriate inflammatory leukocyte accumulation around lymphatic endothelium congests the lymphatic system, impairing fluid and cellular flow from inflamed sites to lymph nodes and reducing efficiency of antigen presentation. Thus, the inability of D6-deficient mice to resolve inflammation may be a byproduct of impaired fluid drainage from inflamed sites and thus we provide a model unifying D6 function in innate and adaptive immune responses.

CENTRAL VALLEY – A historic day in the nation’s capital had local ties to rural California as Rep. Kevin McCarthy (R-Bakersfield) became the first Central Valley representative to hold the Speaker’s gavel and subsequently lose it.
Eight Republicans in the House of Representatives, along with all 208 Democrats, voted to oust McCarthy Oct. 3, a first for any Speaker of the House. The move came after Florida’s far-right Republican Rep. Matt Gaetz made a motion — allowed by House rules negotiated when McCarthy was elected to the speakership — to vacate the Speaker’s chair.
“I don’t regret standing up for choosing governing over grievance,” McCarthy said at a press conference in Washington, D.C. after the vote. “It is my responsibility; it is my job. … So I may have lost the vote today, but as I walk out of this chamber, I feel fortunate to have served the American people.”
After a struggle to assume the speakership through 15 rounds of voting in January, McCarthy held the position for just nine months. His election to the role was made more difficult by opposition from far-right Republicans who consistently voted “present” in January to draw out the vote for Speaker and demand a change to the rules of the House floor, which impacts how the House governs.
In January, part of McCarthy’s work to become Speaker involved adopting a House rule that allowed just one person to propose a motion to vacate the Speaker’s chair. Previously, a majority of one party or a party leader had to bring up the motion to vacate.
This rule change is what allowed Gaetz to file a motion to vacate the chair, ousting McCarthy from his role as Speaker. Further, because Republicans hold such a slim majority in the House — 221 Republicans to 212 Democrats, with two seats vacant — and Democrats also voted to remove him, just a few Republicans voting against him cost McCarthy the position.
Republicans who voted against McCarthy said he failed the party as a leader and did not live up to the promises he made when vying for the Speaker position, including passing a budget with major spending cuts. The motion to vacate came after McCarthy worked with Democrats, including President Joe Biden, to pass a continuing resolution that extended the federal budget, avoiding a government shutdown.
McCarthy currently represents California’s 20th district, which covers a large, winding section of the San Joaquin Valley, including portions of Fresno, Tulare, Kings and Kern counties. He was first elected to the House in the 2006 midterm elections and has represented the 20th, 22nd and 23rd districts as the designations have changed due to redistricting.
McCarthy’s current district encompasses parts of Bakersfield and extends west toward Maricopa and south toward Rosamond. It extends east toward Ridgecrest and travels northward along the foothills of the Sierra Nevada, branching out to the north edge of Tulare and south side of Visalia, going all the way west to Lemoore. It also covers Clovis and parts of Fresno County up to Millerton Lake.
The first Speaker of the House from California’s Central Valley, McCarthy was just the second Speaker from California, preceded by Rep. Nancy Pelosi, D-San Francisco. He is also one of the only representatives from the Valley to have held leadership positions within the House.
Throughout his time in office, McCarthy has been the minority leader, majority whip and majority leader. Before McCarthy, Democratic Reps. John J. McFall and Tony Coelho represented areas of the Valley and held House leadership positions.
McFall was the house majority whip in the mid-1970s for California’s 15th and 14th districts, which at that time covered portions of the north Central Valley, between Sacramento and Merced. Coelho was likewise the house majority whip for the 15th district in the late 1980s, which then extended from Modesto to the south side of Fresno.
McCarthy said he will not run for Speaker again.

HUNDREDS of fresh graduates flocked to Bournemouth Beach yesterday to formally toast their successes.
The Arts University Bournemouth hosted three ceremonies throughout the day under a marquee put up on the sand opposite West Beach restaurant.
The former students, wearing traditional gowns and proudly donning the obligatory mortar boards, strolled down the promenade before officially being awarded their degrees.
The institution’s marketing and communications officer, Lizzy Maries, said almost 1,000 students were expected to attend the events.
“It has always been at Wimborne Minster in the past, but the university is expanding and we wanted something more central,” she added.
Among those queuing to enter the marquee was 23-year-old Tom Bridges, originally from Brighton, who said he has already secured a number of interviews, including one with Dyson, since finishing the course.
He added: “My mum, dad and sister have come and we’re all looking forward to the ceremony.
“It was a great course and I am actually waiting to hear back from the interview today so I am a bit nervous.”
Ross Green, 22, from Bangor in Northern Ireland, was clutching a cigar as he celebrated with his peers after finishing his three-year architecture course. His former lecturer, Simon Beeson, said he is “incredibly proud” of the students and thinks it was a good idea to move the graduation ceremonies to the seafront.
“It is lovely to be down here by the beach with them,” he added.
“Some of them already have work and I am sure they will all do very well.”


COUNCILS are getting a "good and fair" deal from the Assembly Government, Finance Minister Sue Essex said yesterday when she revealed how much she plans to give them next year.
She said she had listened to the requests of local authorities and suggested there would be no need for large council-tax increases.
Wales' 22 councils will each get a slice of #3.7bn in 2007 - a 4.3% increase on this year.
"This is well above the rate of inflation and represents a good deal for councils across Wales," she said.
The draft local government settlement, which must be approved by the Assembly after AMs have agreed the Assembly Government's Budget, includes an extra #14m to improve care for the elderly.
Officials said Ms Essex had taken the concerns of local government chiefs on board and had added #3m to help pay Landfill Tax as a result.
There would be a 3.5% increase to meet pay and price rises, #6m for children with special education needs and #500,000 to cover the cost of services for immigrants.
However, Opposition AMs warned Ms Essex's settlement would lead to cuts or higher council tax bills.
Tory spokesman David Melding said, "This increase in funding is to be welcomed if local councils' spending will also only increase by 4.3% next year.
"I very much doubt that this will be the case."
Lib-Dem Assembly leader Mike German said, "This increase is less than the increased cost of delivering services, due to inflation, pay rises and increased responsibilities. This means councils will receive less money in real terms than they do at present."

Neil Young hasn’t been shy about his distaste for Facebook, and now he’s spent tens of thousands of dollars to move the Neil Young Archives away from the social media site entirely. Young personally quit Facebook last November, citing the company’s lack of fact-checking and sponsorship of The Federalist’s annual gala. While he’s far from the only celebrity to step away from social media or discuss its failings, he’s got to be one of the most concise critics of the site.
Neil Young Says Goodbye For Good To Facebook
“I don’t feel that a social site should be making obvious commitments to one side of politics or the other,” Young wrote on his site in November. “It further confuses readers regarding truthfulness in coverage and message. NYA, no long interested in further links with Facebook, will be discontinuing use.” Now, months later, the process of moving his archives off of the social media site is complete, and it wasn’t a cheap process.
“Trying to disengage from the corrupt social platform is a costly and time-consuming process for NYA,” said an email from the archives. “Our cost will be almost $20,000 to disengage, while treating our subscribers with respect, making it as easy as possible for them to continue with us after Facebook.” In addition to informing fans that they’ll be able to access the archives directly through the NYA site, the notice included a few more call-outs.
“Facebook knowingly allows untruths and lies in its political ads to circulate on the platform, while bots sow discord among users,” it read. “Sowing dissent and chaos in our country via political disinformation is something we can not condone. Simply put, Facebook is screwing with our election.” Young closed off the email by reminding fans that he wants to have “a place where music lovers can get all of my music at its highest quality, while keeping up on news and views from around the world that we wish to share” that would be free of any Facebook involvement. The “Harvest Moon” singer seems to have accomplished that goal with the impressive move.
