Hippophae rhamnoides Sea buckthorn The leaves are used as herbal medicine to alleviate cough and fever, pain, and general gastrointestinal disorders as well as to cure dermatologic disorders. Similarly, the fruit juice and oils can be used in the treatment of liver disease, gastrointestinal disorders, chronic wounds or other dermatological disorders.
A critical question is often asked: Why pursue the phenotypic reversion of malignancy? Surely it is better to look for more efficient methods of killing tumor cells? Tumors are remarkable creatures, possessed of manifold means to defeat the arsenal of therapeutics arrayed against them. Among other things, the genomic instability of tumors gives them a persistent evolutionary advantage, ensuring the survival of stronger, fitter, more aggressive cells that will go on to populate the body of their host. The approaches that have been taken show that it is possible to revert the malignant phenotype by the correction of environmental cues and by the normalization of signal transduction pathways even as the genome remains malignant and unstable. In this sense, the microenvironment can be dominant over the malignant genotype. It is of course preferable to eradicate the tumor altogether, but aggressive chemotherapy to eradicate a tumor often kills the host. The malleable nature of tumors would indicate that multiple approaches may be necessary. This raises the possibility of the long-term management of some cancers as a chronic condition in which the malignant potential of the tumor cells is constrained, perhaps for the lifetime of the patient.
Since herbs are food and not medicine, you can take them any time you want. Of course you wouldn’t want to take an energizing herb like ginseng right at bedtime or sedative herbs first thing in the morning. You can decide for yourself if you prefer to take herbs with or without a meal. Do what works best for you. Some herbs work better on an empty stomach. You’ll have to read the label on the supplement bottle to see what is the recommended way of taking them.
Scientists don’t know for sure. Since chemotherapy and radiation kill cells that divide often, stem cells may be less vulnerable because they rarely divide. Some scientists believe cancer stem cells may have genetic mutations that make them resistant to damage from chemotherapy or radiation, or cancer stem cells may be able to repair DNA damage more rapidly than normal cells.
The most common uses for Aloe would have to be for treating burns, wounds and skin conditions. This along with the ease of growing an Aloe plant make it an excellent choice to have in your herbal first aid kit. The real magic of the Aloe Vera plant comes from the gel inside the leaves, to extract this all you need to do is take a knife and take off the thick skin on the outside of the leaf. The part you're after is the clear inner gel, sometimes referred to as the inner fillet, because you're sort of filleting the leaf. When used on minor burns you should run the affected area under cool water for about ten minutes before applying the Aloe gel. Continue to apply the gel several times per day for both burns and skin conditions. If you're using the Aloe gel for lowering blood sugar levels take about one tablespoon daily (be sure to use an aloe gel that's free of aloin if taking orally).
Alternative cancer treatments are alternative or complementary treatments for cancer that have not been approved by the government agencies responsible for the regulation of therapeutic goods. They include diet and exercise, chemicals, herbs, devices, and manual procedures. The treatments are not supported by evidence, either because no proper testing has been conducted, or because testing did not demonstrate statistically significant efficacy. Concerns have been raised about the safety of some of them. Some treatments that have been proposed in the past have been found in clinical trials to be useless or unsafe. Some of these obsolete or disproven treatments continue to be promoted, sold, and used. Promoting or marketing such treatments is illegal in most of the developed world including the United States and European Union.
Called ALA for short, this vitamin-like substance neutralizes many types of free radicals. A build-up of free radicals, caused in part by high blood sugar, can lead to nerve damage and other problems. ALA may also help muscle cells take up blood sugar. In a German study, a team of scientists had 40 adults take either an ALA supplement or a placebo. At the end of the four-week study, the ALA group had improved their insulin sensitivity 27 percent. The placebo group showed no improvement. Other studies have shown a decrease in nerve pain, numbness, and burning.
So when a person has multiple rounds of chemotherapy and everyone is pleased because the tumor is shrinking, do not get too excited because what is usually happening is a killing of the non-stem cell and a production of a more aggressive growing cancer stem cell that is drug resistant. The term is MDR or multiple drug resistance. This is similar to when a person takes too many antibiotics and the bacteria grow stronger and more antibiotic resistant. The same happens with cancer stem cells. This is why people see a shrinking of tumors but then the cancer can return worse than ever before. This is because they did not change the internal environment to make it one that promotes health but instead they tried to kill their cancer cells.

Ashwagandha is sometimes called “Indian ginseng” as it has many similar health properties. This herb is very popular in the Ayurvedic system of health in India. It is considered an adaptogen. It is commonly used to relieve stress and strengthen the immune system. It has the ability to strengthen the body and increase endurance. This herb has been used in India for over 3,000 years as a rejuvenator. The seeds of this plant are thought to have a diuretic effect, while the leaves possess anti-inflammatory, analgesic and sedative properties. The chemical components of the root have anti-microbial, anti-inflammatory, analgesic, immune strengthening and sedative properties. This is a great herb for athletes and active people that need to increase their energy, strength and stamina.

Peppermint leaves are well known for their healing properties. Menthol in peppermint soothes the throat and acts as a decongestant, helping to break down mucus. You can benefit by drinking peppermint tea or by inhaling peppermint vapors from a steam bath. To make a steam bath, add 3 or 4 drops of peppermint oil for every 150 milliliters of hot water. Drape a towel over your head, and take deep breaths directly above the water.
Dr. Brian Peskin also starts with the research of Dr. Otto Warburg on cellular respiration. Dr. Peskin uses the principles of the ketogenic diet in his protocol for cancer treatment. His therapy is a high fat low carbohydrate diet that includes three other aspects. He has found that the standard American diet is highly deficient in certain “parent oils,” which are needed in small amounts to build healthy cells and to provide for proper cell respiration. The absence of healthy oils damages cellular respiration and contributes to cancer formation. He has developed a blend of oils, which provide what the body needs to provide for proper cellular respiration. Also, most Americans are deficient in certain minerals. He uses supplements to provide for these deficiencies. Finally he uses a combination of herbs that are similar to Essiac Tea (described later) to assist with cleansing and detoxification of the body. He presents thoroughly researched evidence that fish oil may not be the best source of omega 3 oils. This makes his research somewhat controversial for some people. His book, The Hidden Story of Cancer, provides extensive scientific documentation of all his claims. Don’t neglect to read the appendices.
You can use Chamomile oil taken from the flowers (Anthemis nobilis) to use in a topical application for joint pain or muscle cramps. A soothing and relaxing herb, chamomile is a great anti-anxiety treatment when taken as a tea. Chamomile tea is excellent for migraines and is used to regulate menstrual periods. (However, avoid giving to infants and children. Avoid if you're allergic to pollen.)
Rumex crispus Curly dock or yellow dock In Western herbalism the root is often used for treating anemia, due to its high level of iron. The plant will help with skin conditions if taken internally or applied externally to things like itching, scrofula, and sores. It is also used for respiratory conditions, specifically those with a tickling cough that is worse when exposed to cold air. It mentions also passing pains, excessive itching, and that it helps enlarged lymphs.

Cayenne was used by Native Americans as a pain reliever and to halt infections. It was also used for toothache, arthritis and to aid digestion. This herb has anti-bacterial properties, can stimulate blood flow and is rich in vitamins, minerals and antioxidants. Many people consume cayenne to maintain cardiovascular health. Studies suggest that it may be able to reduce triglyceride levels and platelet aggregation in the blood.
Anyone can claim to be an herbalist, so be sure to look for someone with extensive training. Practitioners of both Traditional Chinese Medicine and ayurvedic medicine rely on herbs for treatment. You may be able to find a knowledgeable practitioner through the American Herbalist Guild. Keep in mind that professional herbalists who advise clients on the use of medicinal herbs are typically not licensed to diagnose or treat disease.
Rhodiola rosea is very popular with Russian astronauts and athletes due to its ability to enhance physical strength and endurance. Also, taking rhodiola will allow the body to use less oxygen on a cellular level. Besides its beneficial effects on the body, this herb is often used to keep the mind sharp and improve memory. It is now gaining popularity as a natural anti-depressant. Rhodiola is considered an adaptogen. This means that it helps protect the body from all types of stress.
one instant fix is mint, three or four frisks are like magic but is not a cure, I grated two finger size of ginger, two/three spoons of turmeric , one chopped lemon, put them on a jar and cover with raw honey, took away the bad mood of the flu , u can make a tea with ginger an turmeric but lemon and honey won’t like hot, at least that’s what they say, if u are brave enough, chop an onion, put on a mixer with four cloves of garlic, cover with lemonade (home made) , give a spin and bottoms up.
One of the best and well known ways to get the benefits of turmeric is to just simply eat it. Maybe not plain but adding it to dishes is a great way. Don't be fooled into thinking that eating turmeric in food is the only way to reap the benefits of this amazing herb. You can use it in teas too, or as a toothpaste you can on occasions dip your tooth brush into some turmeric powder brush it onto your teeth and allow it to sit for about 3 minutes. It won't stain your teeth but the same can't be said for your toothbrush or sink. You can also make a turmeric paste by mixing some of powdered turmeric with a little water and use it topically.

Landmarks are by their very definition supposed to leave you with the impression of greatness, but the Kalon Minaret is a special case. Not only was it built with that purpose in mind from the very beginning, but it was supposedly spared destruction by Genghis Khan because he was so impressed by how great it was. The word “Kalon” means “great” in the Tajik language, so when it was given this name by Arslan Khan Muhammad in the year 1127, the intent was that everyone who sees it realizes just how great the Kalon Minaret truly is.
The Muslim faith was barely 500 years old at the time of the Minaret’s construction, and the Muslim conquest of Central Asia had only been secured in the year 751 at the Battle of Talas between the Abbasid Caliphate and the Chinese Tang Dynasty. As a member of the ancient Karakhanid dynasty, Arslan Khan Muhammad was an unwavering defender of the faith, fighting off infidels during his 27 year rule and preserving the security of the kingdom’s frontier, but he is perhaps best known for his role as an urban planner, though not always a successful one.
Just 40km southwest of Bukhara are the remains of the ancient city of Paikend, one of the major cities of the Islamic world for nearly 200 years during the 9th and 10th centuries, rivaling Samarkand in importance as a trading center of the silk road. Archeological excavations have uncovered the remains of a major cathedral mosque, and a 9th century minaret that rivaled the Kalon Minaret in size. Something catastrophic happened to the city’s water supply in the early 12th century, and saving Paikend became one of Arslan Khan’s major urban planning projects. Unfortunately for the city, his efforts to extend a channel of the Zeravshan River were unsuccessful, and Paikend eventually disappeared into the sands of time.
In the year 1127, just three years before his death in a siege on Samarkand, Arslan Khan commissioned the greatest urban project of his reign, the Kalon Minaret. The minaret and neighboring Kalon Mosque were built in tandem, replacing an earlier 8th century mosque and collapsed minaret that corresponded to the Bukhara’s slow conversion to Islam in the hundred years between the Battle of Talas and Bukhara becoming capital of the Samanid Empire.
At 46.5 meters (~150 feet) in height, the Kalon Minaret defines the ancient skyline of Bukhara. Although its primary purpose was to call the citizens of Bukhara to prayer, it has also served as a watchtower during its 900 year history, and no doubt played a part in warning citizens of early 13th century Bukhara of the approaching Mongul Horde of Genghis Khan. According to local legend, when Genghis Khan entered the square of the mosque having already leveled half the city, he was so impressed by the tower that he ordered it spared. The mosque was subsequently destroyed along with the rest of the city, but the Kalon Minaret survives to this day, and remains one of the few remaining examples of Karakhanid architecture.
The fired brick construction technique of the Kalon Minaret has proven exceptionally durable, especially considering how much more recent landmarks from the Timirud era succumbed to rapid decay, and have since required extensive restoration. After 900 years of invasions, earthquakes, and exposure to the elements, the monument appears today much as it did when it was first constructed. Only minor renovations and repairs have been carried out since, and these were only first necessary in the early 20th century following artillery bombardment by the Bolshevik Red Army during the 1920 Bukhara Operation against the Emir.
Today visitors will hardly notice the damage inflicted during the revolution, and will instead be amazed by the minaret’s massive size, and 14 decorative bands of brickwork each with a unique design. Three of the belts bear inscriptions confirming the tower’s origins – one for Arslan Khan Muhammad, the other the name of the architect, and a third confirms the year of construction as 1127. Additional bands are decorated in religious texts, geometric patterns, and blue tiles, among the first use of blue tile in Central Asia until popularized later by Amir Timur. The monument is topped with what looks like a sombrero. It is thought that the cone-shaped top may once have been the core of an even taller section that was later dismantled or destroyed, but this top platform is where for centuries imams issued the call to prayer, and from where criminals were executed wrapped in bags and hurled to the ground as recently as 1920. For this reason, the minaret is also sometimes referred to as the Tower of Death.
This impressive landmark is visible from everywhere in the city, and is an easy way for directionally challenged travelers to get their bearings. For historical contrast, the rest of the ensemble of Po-i-Kalyan which includes the 16th century Kalon Mosque and Mir-i Arab Madrassa, are significantly different in architectural style. As one of the few surviving examples of Islamic architecture from before the 13th century invasion of Genghis Khan, it’s evident that designers of minarets across Central Asia have used the Kalon Minaret as inspiration. The massiveness of the structure can be best appreciated at its huge 9 meter base, where looking up, one can marvel as Genghis Khan once did at the greatness of this 12th century architectural masterpiece.

Projects to build another 132 homes in northwest Sarnia moved closer this month to eventually getting shovels in the ground.
Sarnia city council approved removing a holding provision on a 95 single detached-home plan for an 8.2-hectare strip of land between Berger Road and Michigan Avenue, just east of Modeland Road, owned by Gerry and Tania Lee.
Final draft plan conditions, including a geotechnical study by the St. Clair Region Conservation Authority and a condition that there be uniform fencing along Modeland Road, still have to be worked through, city officials said.
“We expect the final draft plan conditions to be issued to the applicant in the next few weeks, so they can advance the required detailed design work when they are ready,” community services general manager Stacey Forfar said.
Applicants have three years to complete work through the draft plan process, she said.
“So it is with them to complete.”
One of the conditions bypassed was for the applicant to submit an alternate subdivision layout that could potentially minimize the number of cul de sacs.
Council unanimously deemed it wasn’t necessary. Coun. Terry Burrell didn’t vote because of a conflict.
“Unless there are some evidence-based significant issues that I’m not aware of, then I believe we need to move forward and get this done,” Coun. Bill Dennis said before making the motion.
The approved plan adds three cul de sacs to the existing subdivision for a total of 12.
Municipalities generally try to avoid building new cul de sacs because they minimize neighbourhood walkability and add costs for servicing, city officials said.
Cul de sacs meanwhile are desirable from a real estate perspective, Dennis said, and add to the neighbourhood, Mayor Mike Bradley said.
How much extra cost cul de sacs add to things such as snowplow service wasn’t clear, operations and engineering general manager David Jackson said.
Council voted for a report back outlining those costs.
“Because this will happen again and again,” Bradley said about the debate.
The other draft plan approved was for 37 multiple-attached condominium dwelling lots in the previously approved Sifton subdivision northwest of where Modeland Road meets Michigan Avenue.
A similar uniform-fence provision along Modeland is being worked through with the applicant, city officials said, as is a requirement the build include some affordable units.
The particulars of how affordable housing would be added isn’t clear, said agent Maureen Zunti.
“One of the major issues that occurred through the process of getting our approvals, which took quite a number of years, was neighbourhood concern about compatibility housing prices and property values,” she said.
They’ve committed to making the development upscale, she said.
The provision that new housing projects include 25 per cent affordable housing – at least 10 per cent below the average purchase price in Lambton County – hasn’t been applied before, said city planner Max Williams.
“As we move forward, given that the agreement has not been crafted yet … we can certainly provide those guidelines and look at possible rewording sometime in the future when we’ve determined what that number would be.”
The draft plan was approved by council with the understanding the sides would continue talking and report back.
“Hopefully we can come to some satisfactory wording,” Zunti said.
The larger Sifton build also has approval for 20 single-detached residential lots and plans for a commercial development at the corner of Modeland and Michigan.

Mainstreaming Resilience: Making Resilient Design Standard Practice
While few argue about the importance of resilience in an age of climate change (with more intense storms, rising sea levels, more frequent drought, and worsening heat waves), there remains little focus on resilient design in building codes, zoning bylaws, and voluntary building rating systems, such as Passive House, Living Building Challenge, and LEED. In this interactive session, the presenters will lead a discussion about how to make resilient design more of a mainstream focus. They will report on inherent resilience aspects of Passive House, recent changes to the Living Building Challenge that address resilience, and new LEED pilot credits.

Using good pots for your plants is essential for the quality and health of your garden. But what is better – fabric grow bags or regular plastic pots? Read this article and find out today.
The Benefits Of Fabric Pots Vs. Plastic And Clay Pots
Bags and pots are both popular alternatives to in-ground gardening. There are a couple of shared benefits of the bags and pots:
- They are easy to move and reposition. You can start a plan indoors in a pot or bag and later move it outdoors. Then you can change the position of the plant depending on the light or your garden plan.
- You don’t need to worry about the soil in your yard and its properties. You can eveн create an outdoor garden if you don’t have any soil in your yard. The plant will get all it needs from the fresh soil and fertilisers you add in the fabric bag or the plastic pot each year. This means that each year you will grow your plants in soil that is free from disease build-up and pests.
At Hydrostork we sell Gronest fabric pots because of the advantages they have over regular plastic and clay pots. See them below:
Better For The Roots
Fabric grow bags have small holes in them that allow free air circulation. This benefits the roots as it allows them to more efficiently absorb water and nutrients from the soil in the pot. In addition to that, when roots are exposed to air in the absence of high humidity, the roots will air prune naturally. When the root of a plant hits an air pocket, the plant will automatically prune the root, creating a side bud. This means that your plant will constantly produce new and healthy branching roots.
Roots will also not grow in circles around the pot. Your plants will have a healthier root system and you will get a more vigorous crop.
Interesting fact: Gronest pots have the “Aqua Breathe” technology. This technology is used to create the geotextile for the pots to achieve optimum strength, durability, aeration, and moisture retention.
Easy To Arrange & Shape
Fabric pots, in general, are a lot easier to arrange. They come in different widths and heights and their shapes are more versatile and therefore more easily arrangeable than most hard plastic pots and containers. You can shape and arrange them exactly to your needs.
Better Temperature Control
Because of the aeration and heat being released through the porous fabrics, the pots stay cooler than traditional containers.
Thanks to the small holes and pores in the fabric, any excess water will drain, thus reducing your chances of overwatering.
But be mindful and water your crops regularly, as there is still a risk of underwatering since the soil can dry out rather quickly.
Environmentally-friendly & Biodegradable
The Gronest pots we sell are washable, can be used for multiple growing seasons and are biodegradable.
They are made from environmentally-friendly, non-toxic textiles from recycled PET bottles.
Unlike some plastic or clay pots, fabric bags will not break under pressure or when dropped. They are also all seasons resistant and will not crack in frost.
Less Storage Room
Grow bags are easy to store. They can be washed and folded when not in use so you will not need much space in your storage room.
How To Use Fabric Pots
Fabric bags are used similar to how you would use any other plastic, metal, or clay container.
Since grow bags come in many sizes, you can plant various vegetables and flowers as well as small to medium-sized trees.

n addition to helming music for countless David Lynch projects such as Blue Velvet, Mulholland Drive, and the original run of Twin Peaks, Angelo Badalamenti recorded music with the legendary filmmaker under their collaborative moniker Thought Gang. Now, their early ’90s sessions have been unearthed and collected into a proper album also titled, Thought Gang.
Due out November 2nd through Sacred Bones, the long-lost LP features a total of 12 tracks, many of which were recorded separately over the course of years. “It’s sort of like jet-fueled jazz in a weird way…but it’s all based on stories,” Lynch described Thought Gang’s sound in a statement. “It’s Modern Music.”
Lynch and Badalamenti officially decided to form Thought Gang during a 1991 recording session for a track called “A Real Indication”, according to a press release:
As the oft-told story goes, Lynch and Badalamenti had just finished recording the initial instrumental take for ‘A Real Indication.’ A set of lyrics had been penned, leaving Lynch with the question: who would he get to sing them? Eager to prove and deliver, Badalamenti suggested that he himself give it an attempt, much to Lynch’s uncertainty that he’d actually be the right fit. “I’d heard Angelo sing before…he used to sing on demos and things…I knew what Angelo sounded like and I thought he was going to embarrass himself…I thought there’s no way this was gonna work.” Much to Lynch’s surprise, Badalamenti launched into the song with his distinctive talk-sing delivery, summoning such a violent laughter-fueled excitement from Lynch that he literally induced a hernia. “It was like a lightbulb exploded in my stomach,” Lynch recalls. “Angelo was feeling it. He was feeling it…we hit the button and he just took off!”
A handful of songs here may sound familiar to Lynch diehards. Titles “Frank 2000”, “Summer Night Noise”, as well as an alternate instrumental mix of “Logic and Common Sense”, popped up in last year’s Twin Peaks reboot. Others have appeared in various forms in Mulholland Drive, deleted scenes from Fire Walk With Me, and even a Lynch-presented Adidas commercial.

Nowadays the magazine-fed rifles are quite rare and often missing their magazines. The magazine rifle was particularly used by the Military, and the edition of Musketry Regulations reports specifically on the employment of this model with its five round magazine capacity. The regulations describe the rifle as being fitted with a barrel rifled in the 'segmental' Metford style.
Another thing: The info in the ballistic chart was generated with a inch barrel, the folks at Remington told me. Given that the R in RAR will have a inch barrel I would expect to see the actual muzzle velocities to graf around 75 fps less than the data I gave in that original chart, which would put it around 2, fps. —John Snow.

One factor that makes the Ruger 10/22 rifle so popular is the rifle’s ease of customizing. For example there are tons of stocks that can be used as replacement stocks. Most aftermarket parts install with little to no minor fitting and shooters can cosmetically change their rifle to look like everything from the little rim fire carbine that it was designed as to an MG34, Thompson SMG.
But rifles remain the favorite of varmint hunters, with brands such as Winchester, Remington and Savage among the top choices of customers. The more popular calibers are, Ruger and And while many hunters opt for bolt-action rifles, some of them prefer a more modern approach.

Speaker Silver announces reforms to assembly sexual harassment policies
ALBANY, N.Y. – Acknowledging that serious mistakes were made in the New York
State Assembly's handling of the sexual harassment accusations against former
member Vito Lopez, Assembly Speaker Sheldon Silver announced a series of
Incidents will no longer be considered on a case by case basis, the reforms creating
clear and mandatory pathways to handle any sexual harassment complaints.
Three major points of the reform include appointing an outside investigator,
mandatory reporting of sexual harassment complaints, and banning confidential
A budget will be provided to establish an independent investigator,
independent of the Assembly Majority central staff and the Speaker, to handle
complaints from inception and throughout the process.
Any supervisory staff or member of the Assembly who is informed by another
employee, verbally or in writing, that she or he is being harassed will now
have a mandatory duty to report it to the independent investigator. Failure to
report will be subject to immediate sanction.
Silver also announced that he will introduce - and the Assembly will soon
take up - legislation to ban the use of confidential settlements by any
government agency, including both houses of the Legislature, the Executive
branch and all state public authorities. In addition, Assembly policies will be
changed to prohibit the Assembly from entering into any such settlements.
"We have worked hard to strengthen our policies concerning sexual
harassment and to create a safe working environment, but while we fully thought
we were acting in the interests of the victims and their desire for
confidentiality, our errors in judgment resulted in the opposite effect,"
said Silver. "The strongest changes we can make will prevent future errors
in judgment by creating an independent investigator to handle such cases and
requiring mandated reporting, ensuring that any future allegation is quickly
and fully investigated."
The policy changes will be effective immediately and the legislation, which
Speaker Silver will sponsor, will be voted on as soon as possible.

Only very little is know about the neurovascular niche after cardioembolic stroke. Three processes implicated in neurorepair: angiogenesis, neurogenesis and synaptic plasticity, would be naturally produced in adult brains, but also could be stimulated through endogen neurorepair phenomena. Angiogenesis stimulation generates new vessels with the aim to increase collateral circulation. Neurogenesis is controlled by intrinsic genetic mechanisms and growth factors but also ambiental factors are important. The leading process of the migrating neural progenitor cells (NPCs) is closely associated with blood vessels, suggesting that this interaction provides directional guidance to the NPCs. These findings suggest that blood vessels play an important role as a scaffold for NPCs migration toward the damaged brain region. DNA microarray technology and blood genomic profiling in human stroke provided tools to investigate the expression of thousands of genes. Critical comparison of gene expression profiles after stroke in humans with those in animal models should lead to a better understanding of the pathophysiology of brain ischaemia. Probably the most important part of early recovery after stroke is limited capacity of penumbra/infarct neurones to recover. It became more clear in the last years, that penumbra is not just passively dying over time but it is also actively recovering. This initial plasticity in majority contributes towards later neurogenesis, angiogenesis and final recovery. Penumbra is a principal target in acute phase of stroke. Thus, the origin of newly formed vessels and the pathogenic role of neovascularization and neurogenesis are important unresolved issues in our understanding of the mechanisms after stroke. Biomaterials for promoting brain protection, repair and regeneration are new hot target. Recently developed biomaterials can enable and increase the target delivery of drugs or therapeutic proteins to the brain, allow cell or tissue transplants to be effectively delivered to the brain and help to rebuild damaged circuits. These new approaches are gaining clear importance because nanotechnology allows better control over material-cell interactions that induce specific developmental processes and cellular responses including differentiation, migration and outgrowth. © 2010 Bentham Science Publishers Ltd.

Impairment in decision-making can be related to some pathological behaviors in eating disorders. This ability was assessed in 71 eating disorder patients (27 restricting type patients and 44 binge/purging type patients) and compared with 38 healthy controls using the Iowa Gambling Task. This task simulates real-life decision-making by assessing the ability to sacrifice immediate rewards in favor of long term gains. Furthermore, some studies have demonstrated a relationship between impulsivity and decision-making, so in our study the Barratt Impulsiveness Scale was also used. Eating disorder patients, both the restricting and the binge/purging groups, performed poorly in the Iowa Gambling Task compared to controls, confirming a deficit in decision-making in these patients. The restricting group showed poorer IGT performance than the binge/purging group. Interestingly, impulsivity was negatively correlated with decision-making, but only in the binge/purging group. In conclusion, our results confirm a specific deficit in eating disorder patients which may be related to their pathological eating behavior, and suggest that this impairment might be explained by different mechanisms in restricting and binge/purging disorders. © 2012 Elsevier Ireland Ltd.

Complicated skin and soft tissue infections (cSSTI) are common and frequently require treatment in hospital. Comprehensive current data on management practices in patients hospitalized with cSSTI are limited. REACH was a retrospective, observational cohort study designed to provide data on current clinical management of moderate to severe cSSTI in European hospitals. Data were collected via an electronic case report form from 129 sites in ten European countries. The study population comprised patients ≥18 years, hospitalized between March 2010 and February 2011 with cSSTI who received intravenous antibiotic treatment. Presented here is an analysis of the disease characteristics, treatment patterns during hospitalization and clinical outcomes identified by the study. The total population included 1995 patients (mean age 60.6 years; 57.7% male). Initial antibiotic treatment modification was reported in 39.6% (n = 791) of patients; it was more common in patients with co-morbidities (42.6%), those requiring surgical intervention (43.4%), those with more severe infections such as bacteraemia (51.6%) or with fascia affected (49.0%), those admitted to the intensive care unit (56.2%) and those with lesions > 50 cm2 (44.3%). A switch to narrower-spectrum antibiotic treatment (streamlining) occurred in 5.6% of patients. Mean length of hospital stay was 18.5 days (±19.9; median 12.0) and the total mortality rate was 3.4%. The data collected in REACH give a comprehensive and current view of real-life clinical management of cSSTI in European hospitals and provide evidence of a high rate of initial antibiotic treatment modification. ©2013 European Society of Clinical Microbiology and Infectious Diseases.

Meticillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) remains one of the principal multiply resistant bacterial pathogens causing serious healthcare-associated and community-onset infections. This paper reviews recent studies that have elucidated the virulence strategies employed by MRSA, key clinical trials of agents used to treat serious MRSA infections, and accumulating data regarding the implications of antibacterial resistance in MRSA for clinical success during therapy. Recent pre-clinical data support a species-specific role for Panton-Valentine leukocidin in the development of acute severe S. aureus infections and have elucidated other virulence mechanisms, including novel modes of internalisation, varying post-invasion strategies (featuring both upregulation and downregulation of virulence factors) and phenotypic switching. Recent double-blind, randomised, phase III/IV clinical trials have demonstrated the efficacy of linezolid and telavancin in hospital-acquired pneumonia (HAP) and complicated skin and skin-structure infections (cSSSIs) caused by MRSA. Tigecycline was non-inferior to imipenem/cilastatin in non-ventilator-associated HAP but was inferior in ventilator-associated pneumonia and has shown a higher rate of death than comparators on meta-analysis. Ceftaroline was clinically and microbiologically non-inferior to vancomycin/aztreonam in the treatment of MRSA cSSSI. Key resistance issues include a rise in vancomycin minimum inhibitory concentrations in MRSA, reports of clonal isolates with linezolid resistance mediated by acquisition of the chloramphenicol/florfenicol resistance gene, and case reports of daptomycin resistance resulting in clinical failure. Novel antimicrobial targets must be identified with some regularity or we will face the risk of untreatable S. aureus infections. © 2011 Elsevier B.V. and the International Society of Chemotherapy.

Pneumococcal pneumonia is characterised by an intense inflammatory response induced mainly by cell wall components of the bacterium. Recognition of cell wall components by Toll-like receptors (TLRs) induces intracellular signalling pathways that culminate in the activation of pro-inflammatory genes through nuclear factor κB (NF-κB). Tumour necrosis factor-alpha (TNFα) is one of the earliest mediators produced and induces a second wave of pro- and anti-inflammatory cytokines that orchestrate the immune response. The magnitude of this response in patients with pneumococcal pneumonia is a complex network and many factors must be considered in the analysis of the cytokine production pattern. First, bacterial growth and the inflammatory response are dynamic processes, produced initially as a local phenomenon with a late systemic extension. Second, host characteristics, such as different cytokine gene polymorphisms, can cause a distinct immune response. Finally, other microorganism determinants and even the immunomodulatory effect of antimicrobials may play a role in cytokine production. Recent data on innate immunity against Streptococcus pneumoniae gathered from the murine model of pneumonia, from studies of human genetic polymorphisms associated with increased susceptibility to pneumococcal infection, and from human clinical trials are discussed. Special emphasis has been placed on the description of the chronology of the complex network of innate immunity triggered by pneumococcal infection. © 2009 Elsevier B.V. and the International Society of Chemotherapy.

I bought the browning medallist second hand when i first started shooting, which is perfect considering its value for money. Plus the name makes it sound possibly better than it is.
After starting to shoot a lot this gun isn't really up to the job. I had a decent recoil pad fitted but it still kicked like a pig. Traded it in and bought a brand new Berreta Silver Pigeon 3, which is a perfect gun and not too overpriced.

I've used the Medallist for about 3 years now, it's a brilliant gun and even though its at the bottom end of the Browning range, I've found it to do everything I ask of it. I use it for clay shooting, game shooting and rough shooting. Its a good gun for using all day as it is very light (I'm sure how much it weighs though), the only bad point is the ejectors. The cartridges tend to stick and before I had them fixed, the cartridges used to slip behind them. However, this is a great gun and is… Read Full Review

Greek armed forces have been placed on full alert after the navtex issued by Turkey encompassing a sea area 200 miles east of Crete and 180 miles south of Kastellorizofor seismic research by the Oruc Reis research vessel, until 2 August.
In essence, Greece is in the process of preparing for war, with a massive revocation of leaves issued for armed forces personnel. The hasty return of the head of General Staff, Konstantinos Floros, from Cyprus is also indicative.
The military units in both Evros and the remote Aegean islands have also been mobilized. But 85% of the fleet has taken up planned battle positions in the Aegean and in the Eastern Mediterranean.
The aim is to send the message to Ankara that the Greek government is not bluffing when it states that if necessary it will use the armed forces to obstruct Turkish research within the Greek EEZ.
But Ankara is also flexing its muscles. The “Oruc Reis” is essentially covered by a fleet of 17 Turkish warships, which were anchored mainly at the naval bases of Antalya and Aksaz.
Ankara also demonstrated its strength in the air yesterday. Six formations consisting of F-16 and F-4 fighters, as well as three CN-235 spy planes and a helicopter, committed 82 violations of national airspace and 17 violations of air traffic rules.
Greek fighters rushed to stop them resulting in virtual air battles. Finally, a pair of Turkish F-16s flew over Kastellorizo at 29,000 feet at noon. In this case, too, the Turkish aircraft were identified and intercepted by respective Greek fighters.
Referring to the new Turkish Navtex, Tayyip Erdogan said: “We do not need anyone’s permission, neither for our seismic vessels, nor for drilling rigs. We have rights in the eastern Mediterranean and we have taken action,” he said, adding: “We will continue to make decisions based on our national sovereign rights. We will continue to act as a single country, which does not ignore the rights of others, but takes into account its own. ”
The Turkish media have not so much highlighted the ongoing Greek-Turkish crisis as a possible cause of war. They report the issue as secondary news and stand more “on the punitive attitude of Greece, which insists on painful European sanctions.” Turkish social media, however, is on fire. That is where the threats and the nationalist slurs dominate. They emphasize the supremacy of Turkey and the terror that has flooded, as they characteristically claim, the Greek government and the people.
The Greek Prime Minister yesterday contacted the Minister of Defense Nikos Panayotopoulos and the head of GEETHA Konstantinos Floros. “Together with the [Cyprus] National Guard, the General Staff of National Defense, that is, the Armed Forces of Greece, are capable of carrying out what the Greeks have in the back of their minds, without needing to say it,” said General Floros from Cyprus. just before leaving in a hurry.
Yesterday, Kyriakos Mitsotakis met with German Foreign Minister Haiko Maas, who is visiting Athens and had talks with his Greek counterpart Nikos Dendias. The Prime Minister stressed that the imposition of sanctions by the European Union against Turkey will now be a one-way street. Turkey must stop drilling in the Eastern Mediterranean if it wants to make progress in EU-Turkey relations, the German Foreign Minister said during a meeting with his Greek counterpart yesterday at noon.


This week, Sneakers released the music video for their track “Come Around Sundown,” a catchy, brass-laden track with touches of funk and rock. Sneakers represents a soul-filled collaborative community of musicians and artists from the streets of Auckland, New Zealand. The community is lead by Nick Raven (previously featured with tracks like “Strange Days“) and Chris Dent, who have been writing and recording in living rooms, basements and bedrooms since 2014.
The project later expanded to include Sean Patterson, Matt Bizzle, Hannah Rolfe, and Dean Rodrigues, who comprise “a rich palette of sonic and visual wonder to draw from.” Chris and Nick work together closely, with Nick taking a producer’s approach and Chris using a hands-on singer/songwriter approach.
“Come Around Sundown” is full of suave, chilled-out guitar tones and mellow keys, with a charismatic vocal lead alternating between hazy verses and a forceful hook. Cool additions of brass, especially just past the two-minute mark, add to the sound beautifully. Accessible and breezily confident, “Come Around Sundown” is a nice showing from Sneakers.
The track “started off as a funky acoustic number, but after we jammed with the live band it found a new life with disco beats, psychedelic organs, slick guitar and soulful sax,” Chris explains. The entire song was recorded in Chris’s inner city Auckland lounge using borrowed gear and an abundance of time. Two years on the band set up at Depot Sound Studios in Auckland with Morgan Allen to sculpt the mix. The song was then sent to Sage Audio in Nashville, where it was mastered by Steve Corrao.

A vicious circle is a chain of events, in which the response to a difficulty creates a new problem that aggravates that original difficulty. The virtuous circles do just the opposite. The response to an occurrence creates a positive result that improves the whole situation; and as it repeats, the whole thing becomes better and better. The fundamental reality is that some people just seem to go up; their timing is excellent, the right people and the right things come their way, they are surrounded by smiling people who love them, and they even maintain abundant good health. Life for them, and the people they influence, just gets better and better.
However, some other people, who grow up in the same kind of situation, just go from one disaster to another. Things rarely come together for them; nobody is there to help them when they need it, their lives are a long string of fractured relationships, and to make matters worse, they are sick most of the time. Their life just gets worse and worse, as they are stuck down in a morass of trouble.
Why do Some People Get Stuck?
According to Yogic philosophy, everything is made up of the Gunas in different proportions. Gunas are the intertwining forces that weave together to make material nature, including human consciousness. These forces are divided into three categories, which are defined by Sattwa, Rajas, and Tamas: Sattwa, the state of truth, simplicity and equanimity in action; Rajas, the state of dynamism and activity combined with full ego involvement; and Tamas, the state of inertia and ignorance.
Lord Krishna said in the Bhagavad Gita (14:18), “Those who are seated in Sattwa go upwards; the Rajasic dwell in the middle; and the Tamasic, abiding in the function of the lowest Guna, go downwards.” How does this happen? Maybe the main causes are the vicious circles that are the curse of Tamas, and the virtuous circles that are the blessing of Sattwa.
In Rajas, the vicious and virtuous circles are about equal, so they average out as Lord Krishna implied; but things go from bad to worse in Tamas, and from good to better to best in Sattwa. This is why people, who get stuck in Tamasic qualities in some of their personality aspects, need to become involved in Yoga to lift themselves up out of that morass.
Can Yoga be Helpful in Changing Vicious Circles into Virtuous Circles?
There is no doubt that Yoga can be helpful in changing vicious circles into virtuous circles. If we look around us, we can see many examples of the way Yoga changes vicious circles into virtuous circles, and how this allows us to get out of the downward spirals of Tamas and evolve towards our best.
In Tamas, the vicious circles go on three levels of the individual: the physical body (Annamaya Kosha), the vitality body (Pranamaya Kosha), and the mental body (Manomaya Kosha). The same applies to the virtuous circles in Sattwa, which in addition, have also the benefits of the intellectual level (Vijnanamaya Kosha) and the bliss level (Anandamaya Kosha).
The basic mind aspects of Manomaya Kosha are:
The sense of ‘I’-ness (Ahamkara)
The vicious circles of Tamas: At the Tamasic level, people experience themselves as isolated from others. They may be alienated if there is a lot of fear, or maybe even paranoid, if they project anger. Vicious circles can come from disregard for the needs or rights of others, because of emotional distance. As a result, other people retaliate with their version of disregard, and this bounces backwards and forwards, getting worse as it goes along. Yoga relieves the emotional tensions that feed the feelings of isolation, and so, improves sociability. Another source of vicious circles in this modality is low self-esteem. This leads to lack of confidence, which, in turn, leads to failure and more loss of self-esteem. The great Yogic panacea for this is Karma Yoga, where self-esteem is guarded by non-attachment to outcomes, and is increased by the good work one is doing.
In some people, the problem may not just be isolation – it may be alienation. Very Tamasic levels of ‘I’-ness can give a strong experience of ‘self-reference,’ in which people imagine that events happening ‘out there’ in some way refer to them. They may misinterpret innocent actions, remarks or gestures as intentional slights, insults or contempt directed at them. Yoga creates a general reduction in negative emotions that can help people in this state – for instance: by balancing Ida and Pingala Nadis.
The virtuous circles of Sattwa: In the Sattwic state, the ‘I’-ness is not isolation – it is union – an experience of ‘I’ as a part of ‘us’. There is an awareness of ‘we’ rather than ‘me,’ so this unitive relationship with other people raises our compassion, helpfulness, kindness, cooperation, and friendship. Usually, other people return these, so we are receiving all these beneficial ‘gifts’ from those around us. This benevolence builds up, in the form of a virtuous circle, for all concerned.
The vicious circles of Tamas: People don’t usually realize – but what goes into forming our perceptions of what we sense outside is what is inside us! So, what I ‘see’ out there is, to a great extent, created from what is going on inside my own mind. Freud called this process ‘projection’ and was interested in the ‘sick’ stuff we ‘see’ out there because it is really inside. The exploiter sees the world as exploitative or exploitable, the hostile person sees it as hostile, the ‘power freak’ sees power games everywhere, and so on. Then the person’s thinking, emotions, and behaviour will be, at least, partly determined by these perceptions. The vicious circle comes from the negative perceptions of what is out there, arousing negative responses inside, which increase hyper-vigilance. This results in projecting more negativity out there. By eliminating the negative content ‘in here,’ Yoga improves the quality of our perceptions of the world.
The virtuous circles of Sattwa: We can experience our world as frightening, angry, sad, power crazy, etc. because we project these Tamasic qualities from inside our own natures. However, if we have Sattwic qualities dominant in our natures, we may project those too. We have a positive experience of the world, so we respond to it in a like way. When we feel loving, we see love and lovability in the world. When we feel happy, everybody seems to be smiling at us. Everything around us responds to us in kind, so the quality of our experience goes up and up, and it all grows in the positive way of a virtuous circle.
The vicious circles of Tamas: The things that we remember most easily, at any moment, correspond with our current feeling state. If we are feeling depressed, our memories will be about past hurts and disappointments. If we are anxious, our memories will be about all the frightening occurrences in our life; if angry, all the affronts and anger from other people will be foremost. Now, remember that our assessment, of what we can expect in the future, is based mainly on our past experiences. So, the bad memories of past experiences, such as insecurity, material losses, sadness, helplessness, hurt, grief, isolation, etc. will paint an equally bleak future. We become pessimistic, give up trying, and become stuck in the inertia of Tamas. Bad memories also lead to bad behaviour, and retaliation from outside, gives more bad memories.
The virtuous circles of Sattwa: Because the things we remember most easily, at any moment, correspond with our current feeling state, our feelings in the Sattwic states of our personality aspects will be positive ones, so they will evoke positive memories. These will transfer into the future as optimism, so we will be motivated to do more in the Sattwic style

Paris: French President Emmanuel Macron today celebrated his birthday at the iconic chateau of King Francois I, a choice denounced by critics as an example of how he is “cut off from the people”.
Macron, who turns 40 on Thursday, is spending the weekend with his wife Brigitte and extended family at the chateau of Chambord in France’s Loire Valley, the French daily La Nouvelle Republique reported.
With its fairy tale facade, elaborately turreted roofline and vast grounds, Chambord is probably the valley’s best-known Renaissance chateau, located about 200 kilometres (125 miles) southwest of Paris.
Macron and his family will stay at one of the cottages on the vast estate, French media said, with a birthday gala to be held today evening in one of the castle’s 440 rooms.
The estate has several four-star guest houses which can be rented for 800 to 1,000 euros (USD 950 to USD 1,200) per weekend.
The Elysee Palace said Macron and his wife were using private funds to pay for their stay.
But the choice of venue was still criticised from some French politicians.
“Why is he celebrating his birthday at Chambord?” asked radical-left firebrand Jean-Luc Melenchon, quoted in the newspaper Le Figaro.
“What a strange idea! I am so republican that everything about royal symbols exasperates me, I find it ridiculous,” he said.
“While the French suffer from taxes, insecurity, immigration, Macron celebrates his 40th birthday at Chambord,” rightwing politician Nicolas Dupont-Aignan said on Twitter.
“Eras go by but the oligarchy remains cut off from the people,” he said.
Commissioned nearly 500 years ago by King Francois I (1494-1547), the immense chateau remains the largest of the Loire grand estates, boasting 365 chimneys and a 5,500-hectare (21-square mile) estate.
It also has boasts the largest enclosed forest park in Europe, a long-time favourite for presidential hunts.
The chateau, which attracts some two million visitors each year, has been listed as a regional UNESCO World Heritage cultural site.
Macron, a media darling during his campaign, has seen his image as a monarchical or even “pharaonic” leader climb from the night of his election, which featured a theatrical production at the foot of the Louvre pyramid in Paris.
Several newspapers have also expressed unease over the growing concentration of power in the presidency, and critics have said his use of executive orders to ram through landmark reform in September did not help matters.
In July, the cover of the left-wing Liberation newspaper mockingly depicted him as Jupiter, the Roman king of gods, and accused him of failing to share power — an accusation echoed by Le Monde daily.
Jupiter is now regularly used by Macron’s critics who accuse his centrist government of favouring the rich.
The president also on Saturday visited Beauval Zoo, home to France’s first panda cub, which Brigitte baptised — becoming the fluffy bear’s “godmother” — earlier in the month.
Macron, his wife and several relatives went to the zoo in the village Saint-Aignan-sur-Cher after having lunch at the nearby Le Bacchus restaurant, an AFP correspondent said.
Brigitte, in one of her most high-profile outings since her husband’s election, cooed over the panda cub at a ceremony on December 4 before a Chinese minister unveiled its name as Yuan Meng, which means “making a dream come true” in Chinese.
The French first lady became “godmother” of the panda, along with her Chinese counterpart Peng Liyuan.


Solar energy is becoming the new energy source of the future.
A new solar cell developed by researchers in China is stronger than its predecessor, and its new material makes it stronger than any other solar cell, the Chinese news agency Xinhua reported.
The new material, called sunroc, has a “superior mechanical strength,” Xinhua said.
The Chinese researchers said the material can be produced from a single piece of polyethylene, which is widely used in buildings and other structures.
The materials scientists developed for the new material were made from a type of cellulose fiber called polyethylenimine, or PETN.
PETN is widely available in the world, but is also very costly.
The researchers said that the new solar cells can withstand the pressure and temperatures needed to melt the material.
The material is also “superb at absorbing solar radiation,” Xinhan Xinhua added.
The solar cell is one of several new solar energy sources that the Chinese scientists developed.
The other new solar materials are sodium carbonate and silicon carbide, which have become more common in the last few years.
They are used in solar cell arrays, and the Chinese researchers say they can make solar cells from either material.
In this example, the researchers made a solar cell using the silicon carbides, and then made the battery.
The battery was made of nickel, titanium and zinc alloy, and was used to charge the solar cells.

The introduction of remotely piloted aircraft is expected to revolutionize commercial air transport. This new technology promises an increase in efficiency and flexibility as well as cost benefits for aircraft operators. One use case which is likely to come up in the next years is unmanned air transport with remotely piloted wide-body freighter aircraft in analogy to present flights of cargo airlines, operating from large hub airports. For safety reasons, remotely piloted aircraft systems (RPAS) of this size will need to comply with the existing air traffic management standards and procedures when conducting such flights, including their arrival phase. A number of different concepts addressing the challenges that come along with the integration of RPAS into the air traffic have already been investigated in the past. However, it has not yet been decided by national, European or international authorities and organizations which concept will be applied in which case. Most of these concepts are very specific to the airspace environment, the RPAS category and the purpose of the flight. As a consequence, no detailed commonly applicable standards are currently available. In the frame of the DLR internal project "Unmanned Freight Operations", different support functions for air traffic control (ATC) were developed. This set of support functions shall ease the transition to a mixed manned and unmanned traffic independent from a distinct integration concept. One guiding principle was to use simple and versatile tools which can easily be implemented within the next years while keeping the impact on manned aviation at a minimum. One example is the direct download of information from the remotely piloted aircraft to air traffic control and visualization on the controller's radar screen, which shall make the manoeuvers and behavior of this aircraft predictable and plannable and which can serve as basis for RPAS specific monitoring functions. In order to verify this set of tools, several ATC simulations were conducted in autumn of 2017 using DLR´s radar simulator ATMOS in Braunschweig. Simulation scenarios confronted the air traffic controllers with typical features of RPAS movements or constraints from different integration concepts. A comparison was made between a "baseline" simulation using standard controller working position equipment and a "solution" simulation using a modified controller working position including new supporting tools. Active air traffic controllers from the German Air Navigation Service Provider DFS as well as internal ATC experts attended the simulation campaign. The trials showed that the new tools decreased controller workload and significantly improved their situational awareness. In addition, positive qualitative feedback was collected showing that the approach taken is a logical step towards a first-and-easy integration of RPAS flights in a terminal control area of a hub airport. This paper gives basic information about developed support functions, describes the conducted trials, illustrates obtained results and provides a discussion and an outlook.
