Echistatin was originally purified from the venom of the viper Echis carinatus. Echistatin is a cyclic RGD peptide that inhibits platelet aggregation by inhibiting the glycoprotein IIb/IIIa complex receptor. Echistatin is a potent disintegrin that antagonize αVβ3 integrin and has been described to inhibit cell proliferation, migration, invasion, and adhesion of αVβ3 expressing cells.
Product code: ECH001. Category: Integrins. Tags: integrin, rgd.
Each month, Smartox Biotechnology is offering a toxin for absolutely free*! These toxins are being introduced in sample sizes so that you can experiment how well they work!
A 49-residue protein, echistatin, which inhibits platelet aggregation, was purified from the venom of the saw-scaled viper Echis carinatus. The purification procedure included gel filtration on Sephadex G-50, cation-exchange chromatography on Mono S, and C18 reverse-phase high pressure liquid chromatography. The purified protein was homogeneous as judged by polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis, isoelectric focusing, reverse-phase high pressure liquid chromatography, and NH2-terminal sequence analysis. Echistatin is a single-chain polypeptide with a molecular weight of 5400 and a native isoelectric point of 8.3. The most abundant amino acid, cysteine, accounts for 8 of the 49 residues in the protein. A 10-residue segment of echistatin shows 90% identity to a portion of the sequence of trigramin, a platelet aggregation inhibitor from the green tree viper Trimereserus gramineus (Huang, T.-F., Holt, J. C., Lukasiewicz, H., and Niewiarowski, S. (1987) J. Biol. Chem. 262, 16157-16163). Echistatin contains the sequence arginine-glycine-aspartic acid, which is common to proteins which bind to the glycoprotein IIb/IIIa complex. It also contains the sequence proline-arginine-asparagine-proline, which is found in the A alpha chain of human fibrinogen at position 267-270. The purified protein inhibits fibrinogen-dependent platelet aggregation initiated by ADP with an IC50 of 3 x 10(-8) M and also prevents aggregation initiated by thrombin, epinephrine, collagen, or platelet-activating factor. Reduction of echistatin abolished its inhibitory activity.
Angiogenesis is a critical determinant of tumor growth and metastasis. We hypothesized that contrast-enhanced ultrasound (CEU) with microbubbles targeted to alpha(v)-integrins expressed on the neovascular endothelium could be used to image angiogenesis. METHODS AND RESULTS: Malignant gliomas were produced in 14 athymic rats by intracerebral implantation of U87MG human glioma cells. On day 14 or day 28 after implantation, CEU was performed with microbubbles targeted to alpha(v)beta3 by surface conjugation of echistatin. CEU perfusion imaging with nontargeted microbubbles was used to derive tumor microvascular blood volume and blood velocity. Vascular alpha(v)-integrin expression was assessed by immunohistochemistry, and microbubble adhesion was characterized by confocal microscopy. Mean tumor size increased markedly from 14 to 28 days (2+/-1 versus 35+/-14 mm2, P<0.001). Tumor blood volume increased by approximately 35% from day 14 to day 28, whereas microvascular blood velocity decreased, especially at the central portions of the tumors. On confocal microscopy, alpha(v)beta3-targeted but not control microbubbles were retained preferentially within the tumor microcirculation. CEU signal from alpha(v)beta3-targeted microbubbles in tumors increased significantly from 14 to 28 days (1.7+/-0.4 versus 3.3+/-1.0 relative units, P<0.05). CEU signal from alpha(v)beta3-targeted microbubbles was greatest at the periphery of tumors, where alpha(v)-integrin expression was most prominent, and correlated well with tumor microvascular blood volume (r=0.86). CONCLUSIONS: CEU with microbubbles targeted to alpha(v)beta3 can noninvasively detect early tumor angiogenesis. This technique, when coupled with changes in blood volume and velocity, may provide insights into the biology of tumor angiogenesis and be used for diagnostic applications.
The in vitro efficacy of the disintegrin echistatin was tested on a high-metastatic variant of 143B human osteosarcoma, 143B-LM4, which over-expresses αvβ3 integrin. Echistatin is an RGD cyclic peptide and an antagonist of αvβ3 integrin. In the present study, echistatin inhibited cell proliferation, migration, invasion, and adhesion of 143B-LM4 cells. 143B-LM4 cell proliferation decreased after treatment with echistatin in a time-dependent and dose-dependent manner (P <0.01). In vitro migration and invasion of 143B-LM4 cells were also inhibited by echistatin in a dose-dependent manner (P <0.01, respectively). Cell adhesion to vitronectin of 143B-LM4 cells was also inhibited by echistatin in a dose-dependent manner (P <0.01). These results suggest that αvβ3 integrin may be an effective target for osteosarcoma.

Just a quick one. What system do you all like for modern games?
I am getting burned out on my current system.
For non-superhero gaming, either some flavor of Unisystem, or Unknown Armies, depending on the tone of the game I'm shooting for.
SpyCraft or FATE depending on how my crunch my mood demands.
Greg Christopher's/Dark Horse Game's Cascade Failure RPG can be easily adapted to just about anything. Alternatively (pardon the pum) the old Alternity system worked well for modern gaming. The Dark Matter setting guide (sort of an X-Files type setting with magic, conspiracy features and the supernatural) was especially good.
I recommend *not* using d20 modern. Very bland, not realistic.
I'll be honest here. I looking for something to replace Cine Unisystem.

The Legend of the Chupacabra has been around for many years now and is almost becoming more and more believable. There have been plenty of sightings and detailed descriptions of what this beast looks like. Many say it stands at about three feet with big red eyes and has shriveled hairless skin (“National Geographic Society”). Even though there are multiple facts and sightings that could potentially prove that this creature is real, some still do not believe it. There are scientist and researchers that go out everyday to try and find more about this creature, with all this effort being put into this, it is very hard to believe that it is not real. There are many facts out there to prove that it is real, the stories themselves prove it, now it is time to convince everyone why they should believe in this furless beast.
In order to prove to everyone this creature is real, stories should be told in order to persuade them. The first sightings of this creature started around 1995, when a man was noticing his animals acting strange on his farm in Puerto Rico. He really didn’t understand why they were acting strange that night, although they seemed very afraid of something. The next morning he woke up to find his two goats dead, and the next couple nights he began his search for what has done it. One night he saw a creature that was the perfect description of what is known as the Chupacabra today. The name Chupacabra literally means “goat-sucker” so from that day on the search had began and is still continuing in Central America and even the US (“Unique Facts about Mexico: Chupacabra”). This is just one of the countries that have been affected by this animal and something tells me it isn’t going to be the last.
It is a fact that the legend of the Chupacabra did originate in Puerto Rico, however it is not the only place that has experienced this wild creature. Many countries such as Chile, Mexico, and even the US have come into some sort of contact with this same beast. In Chile, in a small mining town by the name of Calama, a man found a couple of his goats dead, not only goats but also sheep. This incident created Chile’s supposedly first attack by a Chupacabra, the rumors spread like crazy and some even think that this is the home of this creature now ("Animal Planet"). In the United States there have been many reports to similar attacks. Some of these states include Texas, Arizona, and New Mexico, these states have apparently all witnessed a Chupacabra first hand. Since there is no hard proof that this beast even exist and isn’t a different animal already discovered, it makes it very difficult for anyone to believe in it.

EDEN HAZARD has been urged to join Paris Saint-Germain by his Belgium national teammate Thomas Meunier.
Chelsea talisman Hazard is a longtime target for the French giants.
The midfielder first made his name in Ligue 1 with Lille before a £32million move to Stamford Bridge in 2012.
Right-back Meunier has now urged the 26-year-old to join him at the Parc des Princes – insisting Hazard is the equal of PSG’s record signing Neymar.
The Brazilian superstar swapped Barcelona for the French capital in a £200m deal this summer.
Meunier, 26, declared: “Eden and Neymar are on the same level of ability.
“Neymar loves to have the ball at his feet, and to create situations on his own. Eden was like that when he first started out.
“He was greedy, but he has simplified his game while keeping his technique and vision.
“To my mind Eden could play for PSG with his hands tied behind his back. It would be a fantastic transfer for us.
“Eden would be good enough to play for Real Madrid or Barcelona as well. He could play anywhere.
Hazard has won two Premier League titles, the Europa League and the League Cup with Chelsea. He was voted the 2014-15 Footballer of the Year.

Abstract The author sets about re-thinking the old concept of “World Peace Through Law” (WPTL), meaning replacing the use of international force with the global rule of law. He traces the history of the WPTL concept back to the British legal philosopher Jeremy Bentham, whose 1789 ‘Plan for an Universal and Perpetual Peace’ proposed “a plan of general and permanent pacification for all Europe,” with troop reductions(especially in naval forces) and “a Common Court of Judicature” to resolve differences between nations. The author’s 21st century version of WPTL bears an uncanny resemblance to Bentham’s original proposal, calling for: 1) arms reductions (including abolition of nuclear weapons); 2) a four-stage comprehensive system of compulsory alternative dispute resolution (compulsory negotiation, mediation, arbitration, and adjudication); and 3) various enforcement mechanisms, including an international peace force.
The author argues that now is the time for adoption of what is a mainstream middle-of- the-road proposition (previously adopted by four past American presidents, including Theodore Roosevelt, William Howard Taft, Dwight David Eisenhower, and John F. Kennedy) that is neither “too little” (our current strategy of “collective insecurity”) nor “too much” (world government or world federalism). Instead, WPTL calls for only 1) arms reductions, not general and complete disarmament; 2) compulsory international alternative dispute resolution systems, not a global legislature; and 3) means of effective enforcement (including an international police force), not pacifism.
If one takes a long view of our history as a species and as a gradually maturing international society, it becomes apparent that we are already on our way, while scarcely realizing it, to “world peace through law” through the one-step-at-a-time brick-by-brick, law-by-law, norm-by-norm accretion of a body of mere “international law” which is gradually becoming a body of genuine “world law” right before our unsuspecting eyes. And this world-law-in- the-making has been happening even during the recent administration of a U.S. government more scornful of international law and international institutions than any in U.S. history.
What in the world am I talking about? Well, first, I am talking about a vast body of inter- national law, built up primarily over the past several centuries.* This is not to say that there were not significant developments in international law prior to this.3 One can start by looking at a mere short-list of the highlights of international law and institutions over the years, to remind ourselves of the progress that has been made, despite the serious shortcomings that remain.
* Jeremy Bentham was the first to coin the term “international law.” M.W. Janis, “Jeremy Bentham and the Fashioning of ‘International Law,’” American Journal of International Law, 78, no. 2 (1984): 405-418.
1878: Int’l Bureau of Weights & Measures & Int’l Meteorological Org.
* While disavowing any “teleological view,” Judith L. Goldstein, Miles Kahler, Robert O. Keohane, & Anne-Marie Slaughter find that “[i]n many issue- areas, the world is witnessing a move to law.” † Cf. Percy E. Corbett, The Growth of World Law, at 50 (1971) (the international law system “leaves off precisely at the point where law is most necessary, namely where the urge to unrestrained action is strongest”).
* Trial of German Major War Criminals (Goering et al), International Military Tribunal (Nuremberg), Judgment and Sentence (Sept. 30 & Oct. 1, 1946) (Cmd 6964, HMSO, London), at 40: “The law of war is to be found not only in treaties, but in the customs and practices of States which gradually obtained universal recognition, and from general principles of justice applied by jurists….” Also cf. Hans Kelsen, Law and Peace in International Relations: The Oliver Wendell Holmes Lectures, 1940-1941, at 145, 149-51 (1942) (arguing that the natural evolution of law is from courts to legislatures). † Wayne R. LaFave & Austin W. Scott, Jr., Criminal Law, at 619 n.3 (1972) (common law crime of larceny by bailee finally recognized in 1473). ‡ Ranney, Heritage (also “Milestones in Legal History” chart appendix at 3-5 nn. 28, 31 & 39) (jury develops from royal inquest of local knights of the shire into independent criminal trial jury by 1220; subsequent development of right to freedom of deliberation in Bushel’s Case in 1670; parliament grows out of body mainly “judicial” in nature or merely advisory to king into independent legislature ca. 1258). § There is an excellent argument that these and similar treaties should have been adopted via the congressional-executive agreement process rather than via the treaty clause. The former method is more democratic than the latter since it involves both houses, the two-thirds requirement being based upon now-discredited concerns of the slaveholding states.
This ongoing process, which is gradually turning weak “international law” into enforceable “world law,” is very much like the growth of the early common law. In twelfth and thirteenth-century Britain, the common law crimes and torts and other civil claims grew up one by one, gradually converting a hodgepodge of primitive local and feudal folk laws reliant upon self-help remedies (the blood feud and its composition) into a systematic legal structure of pleas of the crown and causes of action enforceable in the central royal courts.†, 9 Similarly, various legal institutions, such as trial by jury and an independent parliament, only gradually came into existence, after much hard work and acts of individual courage and even occasional battles, transforming what were arms of royal power and control into democratic individual-freedom-enhancing legal institutions.‡, 10 A similar evolutionary process is plainly at work in the field of international law.
It is true, of course, that many of the more recent advances (e.g., the ICC and the Law of the Sea Treaty) have not yet been ratified by the United States.§, 11 This, despite the fact that many in the U.S., such as Ambassador Elliot Richardson, chief U.S. negotiator at the Law of the Sea Conference, and Bill Pace, Convenor of the NGO Coalition for an International Criminal Court, played a key role in their creation. But this will change. America will eventually come to its senses and recover its historic courage, reject the craven politics of fear, and rejoin the world community. America may also come to realize that the cost of being World Cop is something it can no longer afford, with its current financial difficulties likely hastening this realization.
* Global corporations “have the ability to ‘venue shop’ and play countries against one another to win better legal, regulatory, or tax treatment” [e.g., Halliburton moving corporate headquarters from Houston to Dubai] such that “on transnational issues there is a [regulatory] void”. Approximately, 56 tax/ regulatory/secrecy havens involving 2 million companies and $12 trillion in assets result in annual tax loss estimated at $255 billion; GAO report shows that by now 60% of large U.S. corporations pay no taxes; havens also hide risky debt instruments, facilitate corruption, and cause the deaths of over 250,000 children a year due to illegal capital flight and lost tax revenue.
† It could be argued that the logic of the “world peace through law” formula would dictate an immediate International Human Rights Court. But as Justice Holmes famously said, “the life of the law has not been logic.” More importantly, the way in which I use the “world peace through law” syllogism does not contemplate “litigating” our way to peace or human rights, at least not until there is a greater global consensus on fundamental values.
‡ With expanded coverage of crimes such as possession of nuclear weapons or components.
§ Spelled out in detail in forthcoming book by the author.
* One can foresee the objection that a UNPF might look too much like an overgrown NATO. Cf. Christoph Marischka, “How Ban Ki-moon subjugated the UN to NATO,” Informationsstelle Militarisierung (June 1, 2009) (www.imi-online.de/2009.php3?id+1925) (largely unnoticed document of 23 September 2008 signaling cooperation between UN and NATO objected to by Transnational Foundation for Peace & gFuture Research). This is not the place for an extended discussion of what a good UNPF would look like (although obviously it would need to be able to respond timely to diverse challenges in appropriately diverse ways, with fully-equipped well-trained crème de la crème officers and troops with access to adequate logistics, intelligence and communications, operating under well-organized and well-coordinated command and control and a clear mandate). Also, the emphasis upon a UN peace “force” ought not imply a too-ready resort to force. Rather, this must be a “peace and reconciliation” force that makes full use of conflict resolution and other non-violent approaches (e.g., something like the existing Non-Violent Peace force should be either a part of a UNPF or available to it).
Although the above proposal does place considerable emphasis upon the role of global law and legal institutions in securing peace, there is no suggestion that the law by itself will somehow miraculously transform the world.
Obviously, more than mere “legal change” is required. It will take fundamental social and political change. It will take increased understanding amongst countries, facilitated by vastly increased exchange programs, twinned-universities, worldwide internet and interfaith exchanges, a sharing of the most precious children’s literature of all cultures, and an infinite variety of similar measures. Law, after all, is merely public sentiment crystallized.
There are those who would argue, in fact, that all we really need for a peaceful and just future world is the classic idea of a gradual but steady decline in militarism and military spending worldwide, as part of a generalized increase in understanding amongst countries. For just as we would no longer think of going to war with Canada and just as Great Britain and France would no longer think of going to war, so too we and Russia and others may arrive at a similar point of mutual understanding in our joint destinies.*, 20 And this new outlook would be accompanied by the de facto resort to readily available legal dispute resolution systems. Thus, there might not be that much need for a UNPF or at least not a large one.
* As hard as it is right now to envision reconciliation with our current worst enemies, I believe that we will eventually see precisely that, especially as there is a decline in what may appropriately be called toxic religiosity, on all sides. This will be the culmination, worldwide, of the Age of Reason. Cf. Thomas Paine, The Age of Reason: Being an Investigation of True and Fabulous Theology (1794). Cf. also www.strategicforesight.com (working for an “inclusive world”).
Of course, all these things inevitably play together. Progress on one front will facilitate progress on other fronts. Progress on human rights and economic development will facilitate the kinds of normative changes needed for significant arms reductions and a greater willing- ness to rely upon global legal institutions. Arms reductions will permit greater economic and human development and a blossoming of humanity’s creative capacity for good. Deeper arms reductions will likely depend upon progress on building alternative security systems and stronger international legal structures. Even though we will face the inevitable setbacks, when one takes the long view of human history, the trajectory we are on is apparent.

The Mountain Home Lady Bombers held the No. 4 ranked team in Class 5A to five field goals over the entire game in a defensive clinic Friday night at The Hangar.
Mountain Home outscored Paragould 17-3 to end the game to take a 30-16 victory over the Lady Rams in 5A-East Conference action, creating a three-way tie for second place in the league.
The Lady Bombers shot only 9-of-28 (32 percent) from the field in the game, but the hosts held Paragould to only 5-of-22 (22.7 percent) shooting.
The score was tied 13-13 early in the third quarter as points were hard to come by for both teams. The Lady Bombers began to show signs of offensive life the rest of the way, meanwhile, the Lady Rams never got going.
Sophomore Kate Gilbert scored five straight for Mountain Home, which took a 19-13 lead into the fourth quarter. Junior Emma Martin hit two free throws to extend the lead to 22-13, but Paragould’s Zoey Beasley hit two foul shots with 6:31 remaining. The Lady Rams did not make a field goal the entire fourth quarter, missing on all six attempts.
Gilbert scored again, and Pinn sent the lead to double digits for the first time at 26-15 with 4:48 left to play. Mountain Home clinched the victory by making 7 of 10 free throws in the fourth stanza.
Gilbert led all scorers with 13 points, and Martin added 12. Beasley led Paragould with eight points.
Mountain Home, Paragould and Jonesboro are all tied for second place in the league standings at 6-4, behind Nettleton’s perfect 10-0 mark.
Each team made only two baskets in the first quarter, and the Lady Bombers led 5-4 to end the first after 1 of 2 free throws by Martin.
The Lady Bombers turned a 6-6 tie into an 11-6 lead with a 3-pointer by Gilbert and a jumper by Martin. Mountain Home led 11-7 at halftime as the hosts shot only 4-of-18 from the field in the opening half and the Lady Rams shot 3-of-11.

The facedown between the city of St. Petersburg and the Tampa Bay Rays stadium task force that it helped create just got facedownier: The ABC Coalition gave a presentation of its findings to the Pinellas County board of commissioners yesterday, but didn't actually say much on advice of the county attorney.
The reason? The city of St. Pete has threatened a lawsuit against any party that "interferes" with the Rays' current lease on the Tropicana Dome, which runs through 2027.
WTSP reporter Noah Pransky adds on his blog that "County Commissioner Ken Welch told me the current budget problems will prohibit any entity - not just Pinellas Co. and St. Pete - from building a stadium anytime soon." But if St. Pete is really prepared to go to court to stop anyone from even talking about a non-St. Pete stadium, this could present a huge obstacle to a lot of the prospective sites — which could be why the Toytown site is suddenly getting so much attention.

A Rogue of Her Own by Grace Burrowes – "You Have Your Hands Full!"
A Rogue of Her Own was written by Grace Burrowes. It’s the fourth book in her Regency-era Windham Brides series. I was very excited about the opportunity to read this book; I haven’t had a chance to read the first book in the series, but I did enjoy books two and three, so I was looking forward to this next installment in the series.
There was a hint in No Other Duke Will Do that Charlotte and Sherbourne were going to be paired up, and I remember saying that Burrowes had her work cut out for her because Sherbourne was quite troublesome. Sherbourne’s redemption is certainly an interesting process, and he makes a rather unique romantic lead. He doesn’t have a title, nor does he want one. He has spent his life making money, and is motivated by any opportunity to spite the aristocrats who have shunned him since childhood.
Charlotte is the last of the Windham sisters to marry, and although her courtship is not very long, she has positive feelings about marrying Sherbourne. She feels very at home in Wales, and immediately begins to help Sherbourne with his plans to build a coal mine.
This was a very sweet story. Charlotte and Sherbourne are technically a love match, but they don’t know each other very well before they get married, so much of the book is devoted to our hero and heroine becoming better acquainted with each other. Despite his ignominious introduction in the previous book, Sherbourne is quite likeable, and he pairs well with Charlotte. I would say that they have good chemistry, but more importantly, they have good camaraderie. For the most part, conflict is kept at a minimum, but there is a villain, and while he’s more vexsome than anything else, he’s still a villain.
I would absolutely recommend A Rogue By Any Other Name. I think readers would benefit from reading No Other Duke Will Do first because many of the characters from that book appear in this one. It was quite a treat to catch up with Haverford and Elizabeth et al. I am sad that the series has ended; several of the secondary characters were married during the course of other people’s books, so I am hoping that this is not the end of the series, but I’m not sure who is left! Burrowes has such a delightful writing style, and I am looking forward to reading more of her books in the future!

If I had a dime for all the times someone questioned why I decided to study English, I’d probably have enough money to put me through law school. Jokes aside, I honestly can see where the confusion lies. My high school academic record reads like it belongs to a poster child pre-med student: 12 advanced placement courses including two years of calculus, an introductory statistics course, advanced biology, and physics. On top of all that, I attended one of the best STEM high schools in the nation, which, not incidentally, is also home to the best high school computer science program in the world.
Maybe the ceaseless, intolerable reminders from my family – Vietnamese immigrants who wanted a secure future for their first-generation American daughter – that “a medical career is obviously the way to go” pushed me towards humanities.
Maybe it was the fact I often found myself catching up on sleep in my math and science classes. Maybe I saw the diversity in possible careers I could seek with an English major, from becoming an attorney to writing for network television. But I think my decision to study English was the result of the potential I saw in having a humanities degree in a job market overrun with science and tech majors. In one vein, having a computer science or engineering degree probably would make me a surefire hire in Silicon Valley. But in another, I think having an English degree will make me equally, if not more, in-demand as an asset to a start-up company.
Start Your STEM Career … With a Humanities Degree?
My assertion stems from the fact there are already successful humanities majors thriving in tech companies. In fact, according to research teams at Duke and Harvard under the leadership of Vivek Wadhwa, only 37 percent of tech CEOs had a traditional STEM degree versus the 63 percent with degrees in philosophy, business, and other liberal arts fields. That 63 percent includes Anna Pickard, the editorial director of Slackbot, with a degree in theater from Britain’s Manchester Metropolitan University and Marcus Ryu, the CEO of Guidewire, with a B.A. in English from Oxford. So what exactly makes this paradox of the humanities mind in tech possible?
In the words of David Rose, CEO of Ditto, “Liberal arts training allows people to think about technology itself in fundamentally different ways.” In other words, humanities majors are able to examine technology in a number of perspectives. A humanities major considers how different consumers interact with technology, like how a businessperson may utilize certain tech versus how a student may do so.
Essentially, the typical liberal arts student spends most of their educational career studying human interactions in several contexts; thus those interpersonal understandings they have are ideal in examining the possible consumers of a company’s tech. In another fashion, humanities-credentialed individuals are able to simplify concepts to explain to investors why they should put money into an idea when STEM folk may have trouble doing so.
While it is true knowing technological terms may not be a strength of liberal arts person, the ability to learn and dissect another language is. Not every potential venture capitalist is going to be familiar with technical jargon; liberal arts majors are useful because of their ability to translate complex ideas and technical processes into simpler terms. And besides these more “avant-garde” reasons, liberal arts degree-holders can pursue more traditional business positions in these tech companies as copywriters, marketing directors, brand-makers, and more.
With that in mind, I see my English degree as the complete opposite of what everyone else does: highly applicable and extremely lucrative.

While training to become a Christian counselor, one of our responsibilities was to help others find or increase their "joy" intake. We defined joy as "I am happy to be with you". Hmmm... Then joy in marriage seems like a no-brainer. Of course, we should have joy, a major part of the decision to marry is to secure joy. When a couple decides to marry, it is usually due to an abundance of joy. Every encounter they have seems to be filled with happiness, and that happiness keeps them moving forward together. Over the course of time, the trials and responsibilities of life eat away at the time they can spend enjoying their lives. That confidence in knowing their spouse is still happy being with them begins to fade. If left unchecked, those issues will continue to erode the joy, until there is none left.
At first glance, the star fruit is really interesting, but you have to actually bite into it to truly experience its benefits.
Our word for this year is intentional. Be intentional and authentic. Meaning, make sure the amount and quality of time you spend together is sufficient for your relationship. Don't measure your quality time against another couple's outcome. If you couldn't afford the trip to Paris this year, well several planned weekends away from home to surrounding cities less than a couple of hours drive adds up! Try a "no phone" Saturday from midnight until midnight, complete with planned fun activities. Keep the dating phase going: Parents, keep a babysitter on speed dial or search for local PNOs (Parents Night Out) to give yourselves a child-free dinner, a movie, or both! The point is to fill up that slot of time with "value" no matter the duration. Remind your spouse that they ARE enough for you. It doesn't have to be conventional. It just needs to work for you!
Star fruit helps to prevent the absorption of bad cholesterol. Don't let the cares of life get absorbed in your joyful union.
Of course, this is not a one-time deal. A mere date night will not return you to the dizzying heights of joy you experienced when dating. This is a lifestyle change, a constant battle, an everyday realization of the value of your spouse. There may be many days that you will not see an immediate return on your effort. However, in your perseverance, there will be a reward. Eventually, you will seek to create joy in your marriage as a habit, habit being the key word here. Once this becomes routine, you will rediscover the joy you once had, and even find deeper springs of joy.
Oh the power of date nights! One of the major lessons learned from my previous marriage. Even if there are no children, it is so vital to unplug and pull away together. These nights (or days) really strengthen the relationship.The cords of a rope still have to be tended to in order to stay strong while banded together. Yes the bands are stronger together than apart, but when one or two of the strands are breaking down, the integrity of the rope isn't where it needs to be to stand up against the pull of life.
I have to admit that even as a single parent or person, I had to implement this in my life? I had to be intentional about making time to do the things that excited me, or else I would become like so many people around me, discontent with my life. It's easy in today's society. There's a lot happening around us to make us feel like we are missing out on living life. However, my girls night out were just as important as my date nights are now. Taking a vacation without the kids or with the "fun bunch" was a yearly priority. I had no idea at the time that I was increasing "joy" in my life as described in training, but it kept me functional. LOL! In all seriousness, one thing I had enough of were examples of what life looked like without having fun. I certainly did not want that to be me. I knew deep down that was not the kind of life God intended for us to live.
I can totally relate to the quality-time. It seems that my hubby appreciates the no frills version more than anything. This past weekend was BBC with me. Lol! This week is one of the times that I will take advantage of showing him that I am still glad to be with him because he is enough for me. One of the ways I know he appreciates me showing it is by finding ways for us to getaway from the rest of the world, even if it's for a just a moment. He truly appreciates our time together no matter where we are.

The more objective perspective used by modern science is comparatively new, yet it offers helpful tools to investigate the great question of the self.

Despite being married to a photographer for over 30 years, I only took an interest in this art form about 12 years ago while studying for a diploma in horticulture. I recently moved to the beautiful New Forest in Hampshire, where I am creating a garden based around my photography and planting a number of rare and unusual plants and specimen trees. The most important criteria for my work is lighting. During the spring, I love the early morning soft light and dewy atmosphere, and during the autumn months I prefer the warm sunset glow of the late afternoon light. I like to get ‘down and dirty’ with the plants and immerse myself with nature.
It’s not always possible to lie down, so a small beanbag is another useful piece of kit to rest the camera on when shooting low to the ground. Cameras that have a tilting LCD, such as my Nikon D750, come in very handy for low-level shooting.
We all know of certain woodlands where there are usually more photographers than flowers. Try to go ‘off-piste’ and find isolated areas around fallen trees. The wood anemone is quite often overlooked as it is usually hidden among leaf litter in the spring, yet it’s one of my favourite spring woodland plants.
Wear suitable clothing. Getting among plants can be a dirty business, so dress appropriately. If you are shooting in public woodland please be careful when using a groundsheet. I have seen extensive damage to carpets of bluebells where photographers have flattened the flowers.
To isolate the subject from its surroundings, I nearly always shoot with a wide aperture of f/2.8 or wider. With careful composition this can create soft colours in the background and foreground when shooting through the foliage.
An essential piece of my kit is a small eight-inch reflector. Not only do I use it as a reflector, it acts as a diffuser for bright sunlight and even as a cover to protect the plant during light rainfall. If I am unable to handhold it I use a plamp or clothes peg attached to a log/branch.
A polarising filter can sometimes be useful to add crispness to the vibrant colours and detail in the sky if that is going to be part of the composition, such as when doing a worm’s-eye view.
Rather than closing down the aperture, focus stacking is a great technique to achieve a macro image with a large depth of field. This involves using a tripod and taking several images on a wide aperture, altering the point of focus slightly each time and merging them into one image using software such as Helicon Focus.
A plamp is a useful tool for keeping unwanted foliage out of the shot without damaging it. The plants I’ve grown in my garden I will prune and move to an area of better light or background.
The delicacy of flowers, particularly when shooting macro, can be best conveyed with careful backlight. Some flowers are so delicate and transparent I sometimes have to use reflected backlight to see all the detail, although sun flare can also add drama to the image.
Often, we concern ourselves with the background so much that we overlook the importance of the foreground. By getting down low to ground level with a subject, such as crocuses, a very simple trick is to shoot through some out-of-focus foliage or grass to instil depth into the picture.
Jacky Parker is an award-winning floral photographer. Her work has been published for companies such as Apple and Microsoft. In 2017, her images were displayed on giant banners to promote the gardens at RHS Wisley. See www.jackyparker.com.

Unsure about how big of a generator you need? Call Megee Plumbing & Heating to speak with our generator installers about which Generac generator will best serve you. They’ll provide you with a generator wattage chart and generator sizing calculator to determine your industrial or home power usage.
Normally, to power your whole house in case of emergency, you will need to purchase and install a home backup generator. Keep running your refrigerator, TV, HVAC system, and more! For basic power usage, a smaller portable generator is usually sufficient. Keep in mind that the smaller the generator, the louder it will be (except in the case of inverter generators which are designed to be quieter). If less noise is a priority for you, and if you will continue using high power systems, consider buying a larger backup generator.
Be prepared before disaster strikes! Get in touch with experts at Megee Plumbing & Heating to buy a new generator at an affordable price. Schedule generator installations, repairs, and maintenance to keep the power on this hurricane season.
Our service areas range all across Delmarva, from Delaware’s Kent and Sussex Counties to Ocean City, MD and beyond! Visit us in Georgetown, DE to see all of our Generac generators for sale.

Because this commentary is dynamic rather than static, I will be adding sections of translation and comment as I progress through the text, as well as revising and improving the comments and introduction in light of questions and comments from readers. My own comments (about revisions, additions, or improvements) are in double square brackets ([[ ]]). As I revise or expand, those [[ ]] comments will diappear. I'll use the Wrestling with the Bible blog to announce new or revised material.
The preface gives some background on how I came to write this commentary, some practical details about structure, and a dedication. It would be good to give it a quick look-over before jumping in!
Return to the opening menu.
I have put the list of books and articles I've found useful in writing this commentary into this list, along with some commonly used abbreviations. As with the references in the Introduction and elsewhere, the books and articles are for the benefit of those who may want to follow up on points that particularly interest them. In any case if you are wondering what 'CE' stands for, or what Brown 1966 may be, these lists are for you!

He said he didn't believe in speechmaking much, he believed in DOING things; there were always a lot of people to stand around and make speeches, like himself and there was more laughter.
But Johnson could write, and the best of Pitt's speeches are those reported by Ursa Major in a style superbly Johnsonese. The member from Old Sarum once sent Johnson two butts of Canary and a barrel of whitebait, as a token of appreciation for his skill in accurate reporting.
In several set speeches of great length and very considerable power, these natural orators explained their willingness to enter into amicable relations with all the surrounding nations, as well as with the white men.
Then, "with great gravity, as one inwardly much moved," the Duke took up his part in the dialogue. "Signor Ruggieri," said he, "you have propounded unto me speeches of two sorts: the one proceeds from Doctor Ruggieri, the other from the lord ambassador of the most serene Queen of England.
He would then listen with cool mockery to the enthusiastic or despondent speeches of the youth. He never deigned to argue seriously, but responded in a few bitter words, that fell like drops of sleet on the few sparks still glowing in the son's heart. Becoming gradually discouraged, the latter lost all taste for work, and gave himself up, more and more, to the idle pleasures of his position.
"It is rather too bad of Fred to repeat my flippant speeches to Mr. Farebrother." "It was certainly a hasty speech, my dear," said Mrs. Garth, with whom speaking evil of dignities was a high misdemeanor. "We should not value our Vicar the less because there was a ridiculous curate in the next parish."
The audience was hilarious, and cheered and laughed at the tired clown until he looked as if he thought his speeches might possibly be funny, after all. We were so glad we had pleased the poor thing; and when he sang a song our satisfaction was still greater, and so he sang it all over again. Perhaps he had been associating with people who were used to circuses.
First a sort of reception in a big gray courtyard of an old palace, all dolled up with American and Italian flags. Big bugs and speeches and they presented us to Italy. Then we twenty drove our busses out with our own flags flying and pulled up again for Party Number Two in front of the Cathedral.
I'll sit in the gallery, and lean over and listen and say to myself, 'He's mine, he's mine!" She heard many speeches in the months that followed, and sometimes Tommy or Atwood or Henry, traveling across the continent, came and sat beside her. And Atwood always clung to his prophecy: "He'll be governor next; and then it'll be the White House. Why not?" And Jane, dreaming, asked herself "Why?"
But it would be I who would write his speeches for him then and they'd make Lady Coryston sit up! Ah! didn't you hear something?" A distant humming on the hill leading to the house became audible. Marion Atherstone rose. "It sounds like a motor. You'll have the garden quite to yourselves. I'll see that nobody interrupts you." Enid nodded.

PAULSBORO, N.J. (AP) - Officials have stopped work at the site of last week's train derailment in southern New Jersey after unsafe chemical levels were found in the air.
Officials ordered Paulsboro residents to stay inside and closed the schools when air quality monitoring detected unsafe levels of vinyl chloride around 6 a.m. Monday.
They dropped below unsafe levels by 9 a.m., but the shelter-in-place order remained.
More than 100 residents have already been evacuated as a precaution while workers tried to remove the hazardous chemical from a ruptured tanker car.
Federal investigators said Sunday that Conrail crews had studied reported signal problems at the railroad bridge where the derailment occurred.
The NTSB is reviewing records with a focus on the reported signal problems and a 2009 train derailment on the same bridge.
Dozens went to a hospital with breathing and other issues after Friday's derailment. No serious injuries were reported.

The role of a stock broker is not only limited to the buying and selling of shares from a stock corporation but also includes advising other stock brokers at the same time helps in investing shares in the stock market through market makers from financial institutions.
A stock broker also plays a large role in making a country’s economy status much better. A person can become an instant millionaire in this kind of activity however the risk in investing in stocks is very high. Most stock investors wouldn’t put all their eggs in one basket thus making them invest in different kinds of stock corporations since there is a very high tendency of losing an investment this time of global financial crisis.
A stock broker plays a very crucial role especially in this time of economic crisis because investing in the stock market is one way to make money flow in the economy as well as to the country as well. Beginning stock investors would more likely seek the help of professional or experienced stock investors since these professionals have all the skills needed and experience in stock broking.
The online stock market made the work of a stock broker more convenient and easier. The internet is one way on how a stock broker can save time and money since a stock broker wouldn’t have to take frequent trips going to the stock market in order to buy and sell stocks.
A good alternative to this activity is through logging online to stock market websites in order to see whether their shares are doing well. An online stock market also offers conference chat boxes in which stock investors can open up forums with each other. The online age has brought a lot of benefits to a stock investor especially in gaining information about the current status of a corporation’s stocks as well as the current status of a country’s economy.
Communicating with the company was made much easier with the use of the internet since companies can establish corporate websites in which a stockholder can communicate directly with the company through its online agents.
Studying the market behavior is one way on how to determine which stock corporation has the more chance of increasing value of shares. This was made much easier through the use of the internet since a stock holder can search the trendiest companies in the country that are performing well. Studying the market behavior on the other hand can be done through online since a stock investor can search for news articles on products and services that are highly in demand in the market.
The more a product or service is in demand in the market, the more profitable a company share is in the stock market. Stock investors however would more likely invest in shares in which values are rising from a short period of time. A share attribute like this means instant profit for a stock investor thus the rate of return on investment is much faster.

Manuka honey is honey obtained from bees that pollinate the native Manuka bush especially in New Zealand. Manuka honey has anti-bacteria effects from its component hydrogen peroxide and methylglyoxal (MG). MG is derived from the conversion of a compound called dihydroxyacetone.
UMF (Unique Manuka Factor) is a scale to rate the concentration of MG, the higher the factor the higher is its potency. For therapeutic anti-bacterial effect a minimum of UMF 10 is required.
There are studies that prove that Manuka honey helps in suppression of cough when taken orally and healing of wounds and burn when applied.
Many believed that Manuka honey helps in conditions like asthma, hay fever, infections, diarrhea, stomach ulcers, cataracts and allergies. However more scientific research is required to ascertain if these proclaimed benefits are true.
Manuka Honey is generally safe to take for most people. Do not give it to infants and child less than one year old as there may a small risk of botulism poisoning.
There is insufficient evidence to prove if it is safe for lactating/pregnant women to consume it, hence it is best to avoid. People who has pollen allergy should avoid taking it.
Currently there is no evidence of significant drug-drug interactions.
For cough, one can take about 2.5ml-10 ml at night. For treatment of wounds, about 15ml-30ml of honey can be applied on wound followed by sterile dressing, dressing should be changed every 24-48 hours. Please follow the instructions on product label and if in doubt consult your doctor first.

The Brisbane Airport is a passenger airport that serves the area of Brisbane. It is recognized as one of the busiest airports in the country and is the primary hub for Jetstar Airways, Qantas, Virgin Blue and Pacific Blue.

Access to the airport can be made via car, railway or inter-terminal bus. The Brisbane Airport is situated 17 kilometres from the Central Business District and offers four car-parks that operate 24 hours a day and 7 days a week. Multi-level and undercover car-parks are provided for those participating in international flights. Long term services are provided for domestic flight travellers.
Passenger services at the Brisbane Airport include car rental stations, hotel and motel booking boards, shops and boutiques and a large number of restaurants. Food courts are scattered throughout the airport and provide anything from coffee and bagels to full seafood dinners. Souvenir shops with duty free staples are available to visitors and help pass the time between flights and boarding.
First class lounges are available in the international terminal. The Emirates Airline first class lounge is the first of its kind outside of Dubai. Baggage operations are located on the first floor.
Car parks at the airport are expensive and many people choose to park in one of the many off airport car parks that provide a fast pick up and drop off service.
The Brisbane Airtrain connects the domestic and international airport terminals, plus it runs to Brisbane City and suburban stations, continuing down to the Gold Coast. Services run every 30 minutes from approximately 5am in the morning until 8pm, every day. The journey between the airport and Central Station takes about 20 minutes.

Now that we’ve safely surpassed our 100th review, we feel we’re finally fit to tackle Corrib Pub. Located just down the street from us, we had long written the Corrib off as the type of place our grandpas would frequent. Indeed, the beer and food were cheap, the taps shiny and copper, and the average clientele far past retirement age. Needless to say, we love us some old-school dives and were excited to learn first that they a) had nachos and b) that they’re $7. As a side note, they also have our favorite motto of any restaurant we’ve visited (“It’s like home, but with more taps”).
Appearance: (7.5) Colorful, but lacking the depth provided by yellow saturated chips and cheese. Something about it reminded us of a child’s crayon drawing: there’s a lot going on, but it seems unfinished and sophomoric (okay, a sophomore with a solid 3.8 GPA).
Quality of the toppings: (6) While we were impressed with the fresh ingredients (the tomatoes and onions in particular), the rest of the toppings left something to be desired. The overabundance of jarred salsa made it difficult to pick out other flavors, while the cheese was sticky and flavorless and the chips were a tad too salty. The chili tasted distinctly like taco seasoning (some of us liked it) and there was lettuce. To discuss our dislike of lettuce on nachos seems like beating a dead horse and we will instead refer to our friends at NachosNY for a full diatribe.
Distribution of the toppings: (6.5) Something is seriously wrong with the Corrib’s cheese. Melting into a near solid on the peripheral chips, the innards of these nachos were sadly naked. There wasn’t enough of either the chili or the cheese, and the seas of salsa drown out the remaining ingredients. Sour cream was on the side, which was just fine with us.
Price: (8.5) If the quality and distribution of the toppings brought the overall score down down, the price has to pull the whole plate back into the competition. $6.75 for a plate of nachos? Who cares how good they are–cheap prevails any day of the week.
Overall: 28.5/40. Kinda of like the Narragansett of Boston nachos: cheap, local, old school, not that great, but will suffice in a pinch.
