Industry makes strides in research
During breast cancer awareness month in October, the National Institutes of Health and the National Cancer Institute presented an overview of significant developments and advances in breast cancer research, prevention and treatment.
Statistically, the National Cancer Institute noted that incidence among women increased 1.8% from 1973 to 1990, but remained level from 1990 to 1995, and deaths related to breast cancer dropped 1.9% per year from 1990 to 1995 in white and Hispanic women. However, 178,700 American women will be diagnosed with breast cancer during 1998 and 43,500 women will die as a result of the disease.
Health care professionals have made great strides in prevention and treatment of the disease. For instance, mastectomy has been replaced with less radical surgery in women with early-stage cancer. Chemotherapy or hormonal therapy, as complements to surgery, have improved overall survival rate among patients.
Also, earlier this year, scientists revealed that Nolvadex (tamoxifen citrate) reduced the risk of recurring breast cancer in women who took the medicine for five years. The Breast Cancer Prevention Trial, which studied the use of Nolvadex as a breast cancer prevention agent, showed that use of the product reduced the incidence of breast cancer in high-risk women by 49%. At press time, the FDA announced that the product had been approved for a new indication for reducing the incidence of breast cancer in women at high risk for developing breast cancer.
Other products that made headlines in breast cancer research in 1998 include Herceptin (trastuzamab) and raloxifene. Herceptin, the first genetically engineered antibody therapy approved by the FDA as a treatment for advanced breast cancer, is being studied by the National Cancer Institute for efficacy in treating both breast and ovarian cancers. Other studies are also being planned to study Herceptin's effect on other cancers and in combination with other agents. Herceptin is made by Genentech.
The Study of Tamoxifen and Raloxifene is set to begin early next year and will compare five years of tamoxifene treatment to five years of raloxifene treatment for the prevention of invasive breast cancer.
Other notable advancements in the industry include the establishment of the Cancer Genetics Network, a national network of centers specializing in the study of inherited predispositions to cancer, including breast cancer, and the establishment of a Cooperative Family Registry for Breast Cancer Studies for the collection of family history information, epidemiological and clinical data and biological specimens from patients at risk.

Synopsis: A film about truth and lies and how a dishonest man can rise to power.
Ruth Beckermann documents the process of uncovering former UN Secretary General Kurt Waldheim's wartime past. It shows the swift succession of new allegations by the World Jewish Congress during his Austrian presidential campaign, the denial by the Austrian political class, the outbreak of anti-Semitism and patriotism, which finally led to his election.
Created from international archive material and what Beckermann shot at the time, the film shows that history repeats itself time and time again.

About This Movie
Flyer and/or Bulletin Insert:
Color or B&W
Following up the acclaimed best-selling movie, Bernadette, the story of the apparitions of Our Lady in Lourdes to Bernadette Soubirous, this beautiful Jean Delannoy film tells the rest of the story of her life after the Marian visions — the life that made Bernadette a saint. The grotto at Lourdes is flourishing with many pilgrims, and Bernadette leaves to enter the convent of the sisters of Nevers to dedicate her life to God. Under the harsh rule of the Novice Mistress who "doesn't believe in apparitions", Bernadette, now Sister Marie Bernard, begins her life of achieving sanctity through prayer, faith, suffering, and deep charity toward all. With another moving performance by actress Sydney Penny, this film reveals incessant illness and suffering that St. Bernadette patiently, even cheerfully endured throughout her life in the convent, often repeating her prayer to "suffer and offer it to God." She went to her eternal reward in 1879, at the age of 35. When her body was exhumed many years later, it was found to be incorrupt. Today she lays in rest in a glass case in the chapel of the Sisters of Nevers, where millions have come to see "the little saint of Lourdes."
This DVD includes the following language options: English or French with optional English or Spanish subtitles.

AND YET: BE SENSIBLE. Be a writer for a minute, the cataloguer of loves. Remember how you loved the mortality in the spent face of Sandy, cherished the green circles under his eyes. Remember the agony of nostalgia when contemplating Claude's slim, small, taut body. Where are those feelings now?
If there is any resolution, it is to dampen down the ego. Stop fantasizing gratifications. Stop talking about yourself, exaggerating, and feeling "hurt." Shyness is a form of selfishness.

From the archives: mine & Erik Rissetto's horribly pretentious attempt at a neorealist adaptation of Dante: Il Inferno (Canto X: Gli Eretici). This dates back to 2007, and stars myself as the poet, Signore Rissetto as Virgil, Josh Ades as Farinata, and Jonathan Huffman as Cavalcanti.
When I conceptualized this film, I had not yet learned that Fellini was not, in fact, a neorealist, which explains the overt references to 8 1/2 and La Dolce Vita throughout.

12 Days of Favorite Houston Food & Drink Experiences in 2020, Part 6: Coffee
Houston Press and Houston Food Finder December 16, 2020 4:00AM
Founded in 2014, Xela Coffee Roasters has slowly but surely climbed to being a well-respected Houston coffee business. Photo by Ryan Kasey Baker.
Welcome to the sixth part of a series where we showcase the noteworthy food and drink experiences of a very weird year. In the spirit of the holidays, it's also a very special collaboration between the food writers of the Houston Press and Houston Food Finder, the online publication founded by former Houston Press restaurant critic and food editor Phaedra Cook. This sixth edition features one of our favorite pick-me-ups: coffee. Part seven will cover some of our writers' favorite delivery and to-go experiences.
Favorite Coffee Shop Evolutions
With temporary closures, limited capacity and more people working from home, coffee shops, like bars and restaurants, had to adapt to a landscape disrupted by COVID-19. Some shops added new safety features and some, such as Antidote Coffee and Black Hole, began selling basic pantry items. Here are a couple of our favorites that made clever changes for the times.
A 2nd Cup, 1111 East 11th: This Heights coffee shop, dedicated to raising money to fight human trafficking, has gone through several adaptations during the pandemic. For much of 2020, the indoor seating has been replaced by a small community shop filled with local artisan goods such as candles, teas and masks. The coffee shop relocated guest seating to a portion of the parking lot, putting several, well-spaced picnic tables under large, canopy-style tents.
Xela Coffee Roasters, 4409 Canal: At the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic, the team at Xela Coffee Roasters took action, readjusting the patio seating and adding an arboretum's worth of plants to create natural barriers. The shop was made entirely contactless by sealing the ordering window, adding an intercom and online ordering options and creating a metal two-way pickup box. To encourage to-go purchases, all of the shop's cold drinks are now pre-bottled. A major focus of Xela Coffee Roasters is to help the Second Ward community, so it's held regular pop-ups featuring up-and-coming chefs and allowed DJ's to play on the weekends, all the while enforcing social distancing standards. It also launched a lifestyle merchandise brand. — Ryan Kasey Baker, contributing writer, Houston Food Finder

Favorite Coffee Roasters
The number of Houston coffee roasters climbs every year, so determining which ones excel at the craft is tricky. Not every roaster strives for the same outcome, and flavor and execution can vary widely. That said, expert roasting of quality coffee beans is often distinguishable in the cup. With a vastly more competitive field, these days, up-and-coming roasters have to bring something new to the local coffee scene in order to succeed. The following are those that caught our attention in 2020.
Amanecer Co.: Some of the specialty roasters in Houston that started a decade ago or longer are juggernauts compared to Marlen Mendoza's small startup. Regardless, Amanecer is already gaining local attention, even among coffee professionals at the aforementioned Little Dreamer and Xela Coffee Roasters. Visit Henderson & Kane, Tienda Rio Lempa or Local Foods in Rice Village for the mellow cold brew — as well as the version with horchata. Also keep an eye on Instagram for Mendoza's espresso and pour-over coffee pop-ups at Grand Prize Bar.
Little Dreamer: Matt Toomey, originally with Boomtown Coffee, started his new roastery in 2019 as a way to get back to basics: making good coffee, serving Houston and "keeping the mojo flowing." Despite Little Dreamer being a fairly new entry to Houston's coffee scene, Toomey has a well-established reputation as a roaster — and that's helped when it comes to sourcing good-quality beans, such as a recently used, natural-process Ethiopian and his newest Panamanian offerings While Little Dreamer does not have a storefront, Houston coffee lovers can find it in over a dozen spots, including Central City Co-op, Tres Market, Urban Harvest's Saturday Farmers Market and Red Dessert Dive.
Tenfold Coffee, 101 Aurora: Over the course of 2020, founder Jacob Ibarra and his team have turned Tenfold Coffee into a power house. It's gone from a secondary roaster in a few shops to having a gorgeous new spot next to Johnny's Gold Brick Tavern, and a second coffee program featured at "lifestyle marketplace" Fourth and Nomad and a presence at other shops such as Blockhouse Coffee & Kitchen and A 2nd Cup. While early roasting profiles didn't hit the mark, over the past year Tenfold has remedied those initial missteps, vastly improved and it's now well worth attention.
Xela Coffee Roasters, 4409 Canal: In an informal survey of coffee professionals around city about Houston's best roaster, Xela was, by a wide margin, the one mentioned most. Visit the company's small shop, and it's likely you'll find your favorite baristas enjoying coffee on the patio. Kaitlin O'Brien and Benji Aguilar, the duo behind this local roastery and coffee shop, treat coffee as more of a passion than a business. However, it's impossible to ignore the high-quality roasting in a selection of profiles from a diverse array of good beans, including those source from Vietnam, Mexico and Yemen. Xela started as roastery and distributor, before adding a coffee shop, so its beans can also be found at the Chinook coffee trailer and Grinder's Coffee Bar in Rice Village. — Ryan Kasey Baker, contributing writer, Houston Food Finder
R.I.P.: Favorite Coffee Shops
The Honeymoon was acquired by Boomtown Coffee—and regrettably was forced to close due to lack of patronage thanks to COVID-19 keeping workers out of their offices.

Boomtown Coffee Main Street, 300 Main: In March 2018, it was comforting to hear that the former Honeymoon Café was being taken over by Boomtown Coffee, the longtime roasters behind the coffee drinks served at that shop. Alas, alas, coronavirus made that iteration far too short-lived, and Boomtown Coffee Main Street closed in July 2020. With many downtown workers checking in from home due to the pandemic, patronage dropped, and what was one of Houston's most beautifully appointed coffee shop died with it. It's not that this closing is just a loss of well-executed coffee beverages; the shop also crafted thoughtful cocktails and wholesome breakfast dishes. With the city of Houston now closing parts of Main Street to all but pedestrian traffic, hopefully someone can make good use of the space. For now, downtown visitors and denizens can visit the nearby Boomtown Coffee at 800 Capitol in the Understory food hall. Plus, the Heights location at 242 West 19th is still brewing coffee and making lattes.
Momentum Coffee, 3555 Rayford, Spring: This top-notch coffee shop in Spring never got the notice or appreciation it deserved. Co-owner Allen Leibowitz, who made a name for himself at Zingerman's Coffee Company in Ann Arbor, Michigan, is so well-regarded in the national coffee industry that he often served as an SCAA competition judge and is a lead instructor. Though the closing might have felt like it was just a blip on the local radar, nationally, it was impactful enough that the news was covered by Forbes magazine. The center of the craft coffee movement in the Greater Houston area needs to expand past the 610 Loop, and while strides have been made, it seems that Spring wasn't ready yet.
Morningstar, 4721 North Main: In a year that's already decimated Houston's independent food and beverage scene, this loss cuts especially deep. Owners Ecky Prabanto and David Buehrer, with the help of Buehrer's former boss and mentor Sam Phan, asked, "Can you build a better donut — one without artificial ingredients?" And the answer was, "Yes." The resulting texture would not be the airy one popularized by chains, but the icing flavors were compelling: matcha tea, horchata, the popular "Cop Donut" with cinnamon and sugar — really, Morningstar deserves credit for helping bring the mochi doughnut trend to Houston, too. That's just part of what the shop offered. The Crispy Rice Bowl with kibbeh and kolache featuring Feges BBQ shouldn't be forgotten, nor should the matcha lattes. The loss of this particular shop is immeasurable to not only Heights residents, but to anyone who traveled many miles for a taste. — Phaedra Cook, editor/publisher, Houston Food Finder

If you rent, those increase in taxes and other fees get past on to the renter in the form of rent increases.
A good way to buy a house, is a apartment in the basement. Live in the basement and rent the upstairs out. Your mortage is basically paid for then. The downside you have to deal with upkeep and tenant issues.

Some say networking events are a thing of the past. Some say online professional networking sites are too much work or too expensive. So which method works better, faster to find new professionals to add to your network? When it comes to finding new professionals both options have their pros and cons.
Below are some pros and cons of searching for professionals online and offline.
It can be exciting or cumbersome to use professional networking sites to search for new people. For busy, on-the-go professionals it's a great option for efficiency and maximizing territory.
You can maximize your business territory by searching for people outside of your local area without leaving the house.
Professional networking sites help save time by offering automated search engines to find targeted professionals based on your criteria, and you can review and search for more at your convenience.
Before you decide to reach out to a potential lead, you can review their professional profile with their job experience, skills, previous employers, etc. before deciding to reach out to them. This is a key benefit to help find the right introduction topics for your initial outreach. Currently, there are a variety of professional networking sites with varying features and businesses. You'll have plenty of options to decide which networking site will work best for your professional searches.
As you begin exploring online networking methods, you might have to join different sites before finding the right fit. This can take some time in the beginning, but once you find your fit, you'll enjoy the reward of convenience through social technology. A downside to some searches is the vast quantity of results, it can be overwhelming to go through so many choices. Pace your search efforts by adjusting your targeting settings to be very specific and conducting different of search queries for a duration of time. Cost can be an issue depending on your needs. Go with lower-priced plans in the beginning until you know that the site is a good fit for you.
To get the most benefit out of professional networking events, go in with a plan and stick to it. Decide who you're looking for and how many people you want to try to find.
Networking events allow you to simultaneously search and meet professionals immediately. If you have the time, schedule, and patience for browsing through crowds of people, this can be very rewarding. You can also get targeted results through industry and profession-related events. You decide which events you want to go to and you can even find events with large and small numbers of attendees. If you are looking for a more relaxed fun environment for professional networking there are events with activities and themes to give you more social engagement.
Availability can be the biggest hurdle for those who would like to attend networking events and give it a try. Your search is limited to the place and time of the event, and if you can't make it, there's no rescheduling. For those who can attend, they always run the risk of not gaining any new opportunities. This risk makes the time, effort, and money spent on attending not worth it for some.
So which professional networking option is better?
For most busy, full-time professionals, networking events will be a burden and time-consuming strategy for meeting new people. It requires additional time, money, and effort outside of the workplace that you have to commit to for a chance of success. A professional networking site will be the better option for creating efficient, consistent effort with no travel and less time spent trying to grab the right person. If you're better with face-to-face interactions and can spend the time, money, and effort to frequently attend networking events, it could be the better option for you. You can always do a mix of both to find different targets and explore the different methods of networking engagement.

An unofficial add-on for Quake (like Shrak for Quake), Abyss of Pandemonium cheekily positions itself as the next part of the story, following on from Quake's official mission packs: Quake's fearsome general, the Dark Reaver Legond returns from conquering another dimension in the name of her master, to find out that a single human has repeatedly defeated Quake's minions. Outraged, she gathers her forces and set's about plotting your destruction.
Content wise, this game comes with 16 new levels (10 single player/6 death match), six new foes, four new weapons and 1 power-up.
In 2004 one of the creators released the Deathmatch element of the game as freeware. Two more freeware releases followed a short while after that, one containing unaltered versions of both the singleplayer and deathmatch elements from v1.05 of the game (the final commercial release of the game was v1.10) and a second, 2.0 release that featured some enhancements.

PRINTS ⋆
about your print
© Marco Bressi - all rights reserved - privacy policy
My prints come from an analogic photographic process: the photos have been taken on film and then developed by myself. The prints will have thus a ratio of 1:1, 6:7 or 3:2, usually according to the format of the film used (1:1 for 6x6 120 film, 6:7 for 6x7 120 film, 3:2 for 35mm film).
Specifications about the camera and film used are shown in the description of every photo.
My prints are printed on Canson Infinity Rag Photographique fine art paper.
This paper has a balanced weight (210 gsm) and it's a 100% cotton museum grade white fine art and photo paper. The exceptional smooth white tone is achieved during manufacturing by introducing natural minerals to the process, while its composition is acid free and without OBA. It has been developed to address the need for continued longevity requirements in the Fine Art market, since it meets the requirements of ISO 9706 about museum quality papers.
This paper offers a unique extra smooth surface with a sensual feel, and a matt finish. It also provides one of the highest achievable Dmax currently available on the market, making it ideal for fine art photography.
The printing process is made according to the Epson Digigraphie® specifications, with UltraChrome inks and certified paper, for a guaranteed tested durability from 60 to 100 years and beyond. Your print will come with an additional embossed certification as a proof of the whole process.
(⋆ʟ) Limited editions should be printed using the same type of paper, but in its heavier version (310 gsm). Please refer to the description of the single photo for the specifications.
Size and other specifications
Currently you're able to choose among 3 different print sizes, that will vary according to the format of the photograph (1:1 or 3:2). Limited editions usually have only one available size.
Every print will come with a white border of 1-2cm, hand signed using Pigma ink suitable for archival, and with a certificate of fine-art printing. Limited editions should have also a certificate of authenticity.
Small (standard size with all details) – 20x20cm, 21x18cm or 24x18cm
This is the smaller and the more economic option. It's perfect for having a smaller print with still all details of the photo visible, allowing you to appreciate it at every distance.
Medium (the favourite option) – 30x30cm, 28x24cm or 30x20cm
This size is perfect for viewing the photo up close without having to stand too far from it. When framed and hanged, this photo fits nicely among other photos on a wall.
Large (the bigger the better) – 40x40cm, 35x30cm or 36x24cm
This is the largest size I offer. This size is suitable for framing and hanging on a wall, and it still allows for an intimate viewing distance with plenty of details and shades. This size is also still easy to hold in your hands for close up viewing.
(⋆ʟ) Limited editions usually come in only one size available. Moreover, limited editions will have the Hahnemühle Certificate of Authenticity: each certificate is made of premium deckle edged mould made paper with a Hahnemühle watermark and fluorescent security fibres with a serialized numbered hologram added on it; a second, identically numbered hologram will then be applied to the reverse side of the artwork. The photo should finally be added on the myArtRegistry website.
All prints are shipped in flat carton boxes in the best possible way to minimize transport-related damages, and the whole content will come to you carefully and nicely packaged.
Shipping is usually arranged by UPS, and I'll provide you with the tracking code. The average delivery time is of approx. two weeks but may vary according to the destination country. Feel free to contact me for an accurate estimate of lead times.

Players > Signed in Puerto Rico > John Holland
Signed in Puerto Rico - Signed with Cariduros de Fajardo
Pre-draft team: Boston University
Country: USA/Puerto Rico
Agent: Jason Ranne/B.J. Armstrong (Wasserman)
Articles about John Holland
The 2018 NBA Manifesto
SG/SF - 6'5, 205lbs - 29 years old - 2 years of experience
Signing his first significant NBA contract at an odd time in his professional career, Holland could be in the better levels of the European game making more money than this during what should be his prime years, yet spent two seasons with the G-League Canton Charge in the hopes of getting the call-up. And it worked.
Holland's calling card is his solid scoring game all over the court. A decent outside catch-and-shooter capable of hot and cold streaks, Holland uses the threat of the shot and a lot of shot fakes to turn threes into pull-up twos off the dribble, and getting all the way to the rim if the defence would rather him do that. A decent athlete to boot, Holland will run the lanes as well.
Slightly small from an NBA standpoint, Holland could stand to do a bit more beyond score the ball. An OK defensive player only, Holland has a bit of a loose handle, which inhibits him from being able to do much creating for others or handling up top. He finds his own shots well, but when he's not making them, he is not doing much, and when viewed through an NBA lens, both his shooting and his athleticism measure out as merely pretty solid.
In tandem, those things make Holland a decent-enough replacement level wing player. But if that is all that is required, one can be sourced at a younger age than this. Kudos to Holland to making it this far, he got his rewards for hard work, yet his talent level is marginal for the NBA.
Player Plan: Has a second year on his two-way contract, but that is easily cut if it is deemed that someone else is more worthy of the prospect-friendly spot. Considering his age, there should be someone.
An Unnecessarily Exhaustive Guide To The 2010/11 NCAA Tournament, Part 1: Southwestern Region
BU's leading scorer John Holland, eating a massive invisible sandwich.
BU come into the tournament on an 11 game winning streak, after a tough non-conference schedule saw them plummet to 10-13 early. They still struggle to score, however; they score only 65 points per game, and shoot only 40% from the field. Leading scorer (and face of the team) John Holland averages 19.0 ppg, but shoots 39% to do it; 6'6 LaSalle transfer Darryl Partin is second with 14.9ppg, but shoots only 41%. They play decent defense and get a few in transition, yet they are nonetheless comprehensively overmatched. No #16 team has ever won in the NCAA Tournament, and nor will this one.

Here are a couple of things we know for sure: Change is good, and Vancouver is AWESOME. Not only is Vancouver an awesome city, but it is also full of awesome people doing awesome things.
We've been featuring some incredible people making Vancouver a better place for the last 61 episodes of the V.I.A. Podcast, and nothing's really changed in that sense for this 62nd episode. But you will find Adam Nanji joining Lindsay William-Ross as your permanent co-hosts, and you'll be getting MORE awesome with every podcast. That's because we've refreshed our mandate for the podcast to focus on bringing you the classic "Awesome with a capital 'A'" V.I.A. content in audio form. To achieve that, we'll be downshifting to releasing an episode every other week for starters.
To kick off this evolution, this week's episode features two fantastic Vancouver women. First up, we talk to Randa Salloum, the Founder and Creative Director of CIEL Creative Marketing, the co-founder of pop-up consignment warehouse sale Archive, and a well-known local Instagram influencer in the lifestyle and fashion space.
Randa gets candid about how she's changed her own approach to social media in an effort to lead a more sustainable life, as well as how she helps businesses get across their messages of sustainability, education, and empowerment. We also talk about Archive, and how Vancouverites can easily move past fast fashion and shop smarter for clothes and accessories.
Then we chat with Vancouver-based pop singer and songwriter Emily Rowed, whose brand new album April just dropped on 604 Records. Emily talks about how the album chronicles one very important year in her life, from April to April. She hits the stage April 25 at Vancouver's Fox Cabaret in support of her new album, and she was kind enough to give us a low-fi and heart-felt performance of the song "My Friend," live at the V.I.A. Podcast studio.

Facebook, Google Moguls Give $33M in Prizes to Biomedical Stars
Luke Timmerman
[Updated 11:35 am with Zuckerberg comment] Some of the highest achievers in technology are giving away a lot of money to people who have made some of the biggest achievements in biotech.
Facebook's Mark Zuckerberg and his wife Priscilla Chan, along with Google's Sergey Brin and his wife Anne Wojcicki, announced today they have come together with Russian billionaire Yuri Milner to establish a prize for biomedical research that's worth $3 million apiece. The new award, called the Breakthrough Prize in Life Sciences, was given to 11 different biomedical superstars today. A new foundation administering the awards, chaired by former Genentech CEO Art Levinson, will plan to give five of these awards each year.
The tech moguls, who have achieved no shortage of fame for their work, clearly want see some more fortune and fame go to the high achievers in biomedicine. The stated goal of the new foundation is "advancing breakthrough research, celebrating scientists and generating excitement about the pursuit of science as a career," according to a statement.
"This is the start of something that will hopefully be an inspirational thing for a lot of folks to come," Zuckerberg said in remarks at a press conference today. The prizes being given today aren't really so much about the first round of winners, he said, adding: "It's about the next generation of folks."
At $3 million apiece, the prize is worth more than double what recipients get from a Nobel Prize, as Dennis Overbye noted today in the New York Times. Eric Lander of the Broad Institute in Cambridge, MA, one of the winners, told the Times it's "a staggering amount of money for a scientist."
The list of 11 inaugural winners represents a list of superstars within biomedicine, although none of them have achieved the kind of fame that Zuckerberg and Brin have. Here's who took home the prize.
—Cornelia Bargmann of Rockefeller University in New York
—David Botstein of Princeton University in Princeton, NJ
—Lewis Cantley of Weill Cornell Medical College in New York
—Hans Clevers of the Hubrecht Institute for Developmental Biology and Stem Cell Research in the Netherlands
—Napoleone Ferrara of the University of California, San Diego.
—Titia de Lange of Rockefeller University in New York
—Eric Lander of the Broad Institute in Cambridge, MA
—Charles Sawyers of Memorial Sloan-Kettering Cancer Center in New York
—Bert Vogelstein of Johns Hopkins University in Baltimore, MD
—Robert Weinberg of MIT in Cambridge, MA
—Shinya Yamanaka of Kyoto University in Kyoto, Japan and the Gladstone Institutes in San Francisco.
Over at Forbes, Matthew Herper has some more detail on the specific achievements of each of the prize-winning scientists, and some discussion with readers about how much impact the tech moguls can make by bestowing awards on scientists who are already famous and well-funded.
Susan Desmond-Hellmann, the chancellor of UC San Francisco and the former president of product development at Genentech, served as the host of today's award ceremony at UCSF Mission Bay.

1914–1918 global war starting in Europe
World War I, also known as the First World War or the Great War, was a global war that lasted from 28 July 1914 to 11 November 1918. Contemporaneously described as "the war to end all wars", it led to the mobilisation of more than 70 million military personnel, including 60 million Europeans, making it one of the largest wars in history. It is also one of the deadliest conflicts in history, with an estimated nine million combatant deaths and 13 million civilian deaths as a direct result of the war, while resulting genocides and the related 1918 influenza pandemic caused another 17–100 million deaths worldwide.

Transient stochastic response of quasi integerable Hamiltonian systems
Zhong-Hua Liu
Jian-Hua Geng
Wei-Qiu Zhu
First Online: 07 August 2013
The approximate transient response of quasi integrable Hamiltonian systems under Gaussian white noise excitations is investigated. First, the averaged Itô equations for independent motion integrals and the associated Fokker-Planck-Kolmogorov (FPK) equation governing the transient probability density of independentmotion integrals of the system are derived by applying the stochastic averaging method for quasi integrable Hamiltonian systems. Then, approximate solution of the transient probability density of independent motion integrals is obtained by applying the Galerkin method to solve the FPK equation. The approximate transient solution is expressed as a series in terms of properly selected base functions with time-dependent coefficients. The transient probability densities of displacements and velocities can be derived from that of independent motion integrals. Three examples are given to illustrate the application of the proposed procedure. It is shown that the results for the three examples obtained by using the proposed procedure agree well with those from Monte Carlo simulation of the original systems.

Set against the simmering backdrop of local politics on the Pala Indian Reservation in San Diego, this newly revised edition of Coyote Heart explores the intricacies of illicit love and marriage, the strength that comes from sacrifice, and the courage to forgive the injuries of the past.
Carolyn has lost herself. She is living a life that she hardly recognizes. After a tragic accident that left her husband in a wheelchair, they have drifted worlds apart.
When she meets Roy Washburn, she begins to feel again – in a whole new way. With him there is no distance and no pain. He shows her that love is still alive.
But their intense affair has consequences that they never could have imagined. People will be destroyed and nothing but regret left in the wreckage, but she will never forget the beautiful Native American Professor who brought her soul back for the land of the dead.

I absolutely loved and heartily recommend Bobby Livingston's book, entitled SPEAK from the Heart: How to Master the Art of Public Speaking in 7 Easy Lessons.
He advocates a simple yet powerful approach to public speaking; namely speaking from the heart.
Bobby's obvious passion for public speaking comes through in his writing. What I found great about his book, is how he builds up the art of public speaking by giving examples of people who found it difficult to speak publicly, and whose performances were completely transformed when they spoke from the heart, such as Sir Winston Churchill.
Bobby through his writing enables you to believe that you are also capable of such amazing feats.
The book is split into easy to read lessons of which there are 7 in total. Each has its own objectives, then the actual content of the lesson, and then a challenge at the end.
The challenges throughout the book are excellent, which guide you step-by-step to help you prepare yourself for giving a speech and then actually delivering it. Each challenge helps to increase your confidence in public speaking. What Bobby does at the end of each challenge is to ask you question, so you can really reflect on your performance.
What I appreciate about the book, is that Bobby really emphasises how public speaking is a creative art and not just about getting up to speak, and how doing so creates a strong energy between you and the audience!
He talks about the importance of removing those bad habits that we all get into, and get rid of the "ums", "ers", "ahs", "you know". We're all guilty of them, but saying them certainly does not help giving an elegant and fluent speech!
He discusses about speaking correctly grammatically, and how to slow down your speech and really enunciating your words for dramatic impact.
Bobby explains how you can increase your confidence by using words that convey conviction, belief, passion, and purpose. This creates a positive "energy thread" and the more positive you begin to feel the stronger and stronger your message becomes.
Bobby includes a sample speech, which you can use to do the challenges throughout the book.
Another brilliant challenge in the book is speaking, recording yourself and then listening for the areas where you can make improvements.
Who isn't mesmerised by an inspiring speaker? With such a person, who wouldn't to hear them speak?
Bobby explains in useful chunks how you can achieve this, through developing the skills of an actor to then bring into your speech, such working on your emotions, and demonstrating these to go with the changes in your speech.
He shows ways of accessing moods and becoming aware of them by listening to classical music. For instance, if the music is conveying sad and angry moods, then as you're sensing these particular emotions, say words that come out of your mouth.
The book also effectively explains how to use the power of eye contact, gestures and body movements, and expertly teaches how to use these when giving a speech, to support and express further what you're saying.
One approach I liked in particular was practicing responding to the different sounds in a piece of music such as tension and intuition. He explains how our gestures become visual images, which are then, are appealing to our audiences. However, he also explains how not to use body language and what could be considered to be off-putting to the audience.
He teaches about posture and what makes an honest approachable stance and what makes a fearful one. He describes the importance of appearance and hair when speaking and how to achieve the appropriate effect depending on the type of audience you are speaking too.
A great section is how to make your voice more powerful through making changes in volume, and tempo to ensure you are heard and the words you say sound interesting. Modulation is also explained as varying tones and pitches can add warmth, sincerity and passion to our speeches.
He teaches good techniques on how to write a captivating speech, and explains the key components that make up such a speech along with what needs to go in each part, so your speech has a seamless flow.
Other aspects covered are how to develop understanding with your audience, so that you gain trust with them and are able to create momentum and gain commitment from them. This is particularly important if you are giving a speech in a sales context for instance.
The book ends with a great exercise on evaluating professional speakers and Bobby has included an evaluation guide to help you do this. And then there is an exercise on evaluating yourself!
SPEAK from the HEART is easily the best text I've read on public speaking. I would like to congratulate Bobby Livingston on his quite brilliant book.
You can order the book from Amazon.
Please note: I have no affiliate connections with this book.
Have you had experiences with public speaking? Or have you thought about giving it try? Please leave a comment and share your experiences and thoughts on this fascinating subject.
Great review on Bobby's book, Hiten! I am heading over right after I leave this comment to put it in my queue of books to read. I have had a couple of experiences in the realm of public speaking; nothing in an actual group setting as of yet. However, I hope to get the opportunity real soon to test the waters a bit. There's still a lot of preparation and practice needed on my end, but I believe that experience is the best teacher. I have a few online speaking engagements coming up that I'm currently preparing for; one of which has been ongoing for several weeks now. I believe that it has been an awesome opportunity and wonderful practice for me. I've learned a lot thus far, but again, I know that there is still so much more that I'm in need of learning and teaching myself. This book sounds like another great tool to invest in to acquire the skill in public speaking that I seek to possess. Thank you for sharing your thoughts on it, my friend. Great job here!
Deeone Higgs recently posted..Would You Allow Your Gifts to Be Stolen?
What is Deeone's Coffee With Soul presentation?
I'm really glad you liked the review. It really is an excellent book. I love the way Bobby has written it, so it is simple to follow and easy to read.
Indeed, experience is the greatest teacher. I totally agree with you on this. It's the same with public speaking too. I've been public speaking for around 5 years now, and it still amazing to see a new speaker turn up for the first meeting, really nervous and scared about getting up and speaking. Just turning up for the meeting is a great thing to begin with.
What are your online speaking engagements about?
Thank you so much for leaving your comment, and sharing your experiences with public speaking Deeone.
Thanks for responding to Hiten's blog about my Speak from the Heart book. I denied for years that I had the ability to speak powerfully in public. You can do it too my friend when you begin to explore your self-awareness. In the process you will begin to sow the seeds of success for future performance. You, like I was back then, are on a great journey in the world of public speaking. Hang on in there and the rewards will come. Happy reading.
Wow, Hiten … I could tell you really discovered a treasure trove of golden nuggets in "Speak from the Heart".
Great book review — thanks for sharing.
Only 7% of communication is either written or spoken. So that means pubic speakers REALLY have to hone their body language skills!
The greatest challenge for those of us doing audio interviews/guest speaking gigs via teleseminar is obvious … attendees can't see us … so we don't have the added benefit of using body language to convey a message. Believe me, it's a tough assignment.
Thanks for transforming your blog into an ever-flowing fountain of enjoyable articles and helpful tips.
I love eye contact communication. A person can say all they want and act all they want, but their eyes will tell us a lot about what they are like!
I really appreciate you commenting on the percentages corresponding to verbal and non-verbal communication. This demonstrates how important non-verbal communication really is, and how we can improve how we communicate drastically by working on such aspects.
How do you work on your body language skills when public speaking?
It would be great to hear your views on this.
I totally agree with what you said, about the challenge associated with doing audio interviews, and not being able to see people's body language. This reminds me of when I do telephone coaching. Telephone coaching works great, but it's not quite the same as having a client sit in front of me.
Mel! Fancy meeting you here.
I *love* what you said about 7% verbal. I used to be a hyper-intellectual guy, able to "out-argue" anyone and "be right" using my words. I thought that was the key to life.
Heart and emotion is so important, and I'm so happy I learned that.
Lastly, I *love* my voice and presence, and tough-assignment or not, I feel that moving and impacting people with it powerfully, is totally do-able.
Yes, Mel is one of my good blogging friends and a regular reader over here. I saw her over at your blog too!
Mel always adds great insights in her comments!
I'm glad that my comments about non-verbal communication resonate so strongly with you. I hope you find my approach expressed through the book to be of great value.
The other day, I watched in amusement as a speaker literally spoke from the heart without even realizing. He took the stage and spoke passionately, everyone was really touched. Then he said without thinking, "Let me now read the speech they wrote." No one could believe it. I laughed until I cried.
Maybe some speakers are stifled and can't really speak from their hearts. Because of certain circumstances…who knows? I feel speaking from the heart is best for both the speaker and the audience.
The speaker you saw, sure does sound like a passionate speaker, who speaks from the heart quite naturally! This is amazing.
Where did you see this person? Is there a YouTube video on him?
Public speaking really is a skill we can all develop. So to can we develop the ability to speak with strong emotion and from our hearts. What I've found useful, is to trust my mind to let go completely, and say what I want to say spontaneously. I've found when I do this, I speak with more passion.
I'm continuing on developing this skill further.
You are spot on! Speaking from the heart is good for the speaker and the audience. I actually describe speaking from the heart as being a cathartic experience. You become in tune with yourself and resonate soulfully with your audience. In the process nervous energy is transformed into powerful performance. Your example highlights this so clearly. Why? Because as you say the person who spoke was "human" and we all love that wonderful expression of human honesty. Thanks for responding Veeh and I hope you will enjoy the book too.
Hiten! Rock on, man! This is fantastic.
It's such a breath of fresh air from most advice on speaking I've come across.
Some preachers really, really know how to move a crowd.
It touches on a main tenet of Ryze's teachings… Be Real. Do *everything* with heart. Speaking, blogging, f***ing — whatever.
Whatever you're doing, come from the heart. Show your passion, animate and express your emotion.
I know that vibe radiates in all I do, and I know people feel it.
I'll offer a fresh perspective on "ums" — when I get really, really passionate, sometimes my speech hesitates as I lean in and summon the proper language.
I like that about myself and my speech. It adds to my brand, makes me memorable, and helps people know I'm human and that they can succeed no matter what conventional wisdom says.
I'm masterfully articulate and able to tune up or 'dumb-down' my words whenever necessary. My ideas are creative and flow out naturally. Basically, I think there's room for a speaker who leverages "ums" in a powerful way.
It's wonderful to hear also, that what Bobby is teaching, is in line with the values of Ryze and as you say "Be Real" and do "everything with the heart". You have a wonderful message you are spreading to the world Jason. Please keep this up!
I do agree with you Jason. If the speech is 'real' and passionate, then I can see how the "ums", could be used effectively, to add to the whole personality of the speaker, and the speech being given.
I've just watched both of your videos. Thank you so much for sharing these Jason.
The second one with you speaking to the entrepreneurs was brilliant. You spoke amazingly. You had a clear voice, great rapport with the audience, and amazing body language.
The language you used was inspirational and highly persuasive.
You are definitely a top speaker.
What type of training did you give yourself in speaking?
It is fitting for a review of a public speaking book.
Thanks for responding to Hiten's blog. It is great to hear an articulate speaker convey energy and heart. We share the same passion so I hope you too will enjoy Speak from the Heart.
I agree with you. Jason does have tons of energy and heart when he speaks!
Thanks for a phenomenal review. My simple belief is that "to become a professional public speaker you must first learn to speak from the heart." It is so encouraging to hear from Deeone, Melanie, Jason and Vechcirra – thanks you for responding to Hiten's blog. All of you are on a public speaking journey. It would be just awesome if you too read the book and experienced the artistic, creative and intuitive forces that emerge from my approach to public speaking. My approach is to focus on the artistry before technique. Why? Because it is the only way I have ever seen speakers who have attended every training course going or spent years practising in speakers clubs transform from the ordinary to the outstanding. Or as I put it "to become a professional public speaker you must first learn to speak from the heart." Happy reading folks and do let me know how it changes not just your public speaking skills but your life and career prospects too.
It was a true pleasure and a privilege to have had the opportunity to review your most brilliant book.
Indeed, I'm very pleased my readers have received this review so well, which is evident from the discussions taking place.
Many thanks for your kind, wishes to us all Bobby.
So true Hiten. I find it so much easier and relaxing to speak to others and write from the heart. When I just use my mind I feel like I am leaving out something.
Indeed I agree with you, my friend. Using the mind alone for communications completely misses the true impact that can come from combining our hearts with it.
You have hit the nail on the head with that comment: "when I just use my mind I feel like I am leaving out something." Sadly, many speakers feel exactly the same way and are stuck, struggling to communicate yet knowing there is so much more they can give. That is why I always encourage word and expression creativity before technique. I hope you will enjoy Speak from the Heart as by the sound of it it is made for someone just like you.
Thanks for taking the opportunity to respond to Hiten's blog. You are right "words are just words" and funnily that thought was the starting point of my book. I questioned why it was that some people could "add the right substance" whereas others could not despite years as members of speakers clubs or having taken very expensive training courses. And the reason that came through time and time again was that they hadn't yet learned to Speak from the Heart; they hadn't learned to let go, to just relax and be naturally artistic and expressive and thus they stymied their words and ability to impact. Words are just words but add intuition, energy and creative artistry to the mix and they become powerful beyond measure. I hope you take the opportunity to enjoy Speak from the Heart.
I'm so glad you liked the review and thanks for adding your insights to the post.
Indeed language is just a set of words. I agree with you on this. It is when we add the right emotions to the words that their power really arises. When we do this, we then create an opportunity for our words to have a magical effect on others, as we connect, entertain, persuade and influence.
Bobby's book sounds wonderful! Most of us have a fear of public speaking and we need all the help we can get.
I think it's also a challenge for most people to share something of themselves and speak from the heart for fear of rejection. They need to overcome this fear so that they can start connecting with their audience.
Thanks for sharing this book with us.
Thank you for your comment. I'm really glad you liked the review.
Yes absolutely, I believe surveys have been carried out, and public speaking is a top fear that most people have. On a similar note, I believe public speaking is one of the top ways to increase our self-confidence.
Thank you for dropping by and adding your valuable contributions to this post. It's lovely to meet you.
Thanks for responding to Hiten's review of my book. Ironic as this may sound but when you learn to Speak from the Heart you are touched by a higher power and the fear of public speaking is diminished. In the book I show how this is achieved through creativity exercises of expression. I hope you will explore what my book has to offer and that fear of speaking will become a thing of the past. God Bless.
I agree totally Hiten, Great book review. When we speak from the heart the real person comes out. It means you are not saying what you think people want to hear, but how you feel.
I have not done any public speaking other than years ago, but this does sound like a book , as you say, that we can learn from when it comes to writing also. thanks very much the the tip. The key to life is always keep learning.
As the author of Speak from the Heart it is great to hear all of this resonance through Hiten's blog. Your quote: "When we speak from the heart the real person comes out." It certainly does and that is why I advocate my approach to public speaking so strongly. When the real person turns up the world takes note. I hope Speak from the Heart will inspire you to get back into the world of public speaking.
I've been thinking about this the past couple of days and have been practicing it with people in my daily activities. I'm finding when I add strong passion and 'soul' to what I'm saying even in just conversation, others respond to me differently and more positively.
You're right, when we speak from the heart, we allow our real selves to come out.
I really appreciate you sharing your wisdom with us. As you say, the key to life is to keep learning.
Thanks for sharing this, Hiten. Indeed heart-mind connection is the key to doing anything fully, passionately and successfully. when it comes directly from our heart-mind we come the ultimate understanding or ourselves. This understanding is pure intelligence. How do you get to pure intelligence? Include our heart-mind in the process. The head mind is filled with intellectual rambling. When attuned to universal mind, we cannot help but speak with the feeling of being whole and complete.
Thanks for responding to Hiten's review of my book. I liked your line that "we cannot help but speak with the feeling of being whole and complete" without being totally resonant with ourselves and our environment (& audience) – that is so true and reflected directly through the words and essence of Speak from the Heart. I hope you may take the opportunity to enjoy the resonance of my book.
It's lovely to see you, my friend! 🙂 I hope you've been well.
I knew you would be able to relate to this review and to the way Bobby teaches public speaking.
I'm aware you are also a strong advocator and teacher of firstly recognising the heart-mind link (understanding 'pure intelligence' as you say) and then using this to create positive changes in our lives.
Indeed, when we tune into the universal heart, we can use the collective strength of all of us to powerfully live our lives with our heads held high, and speak with true passion.
That is a very good review for an interesting book. Thank you for sharing. Personally I haven't spoken to the big public but I have provided some training courses several times during my professional experience as a consultant. My public was composed by people older than me and I had to be present and achieve their attention and respect. My course was very well prepared and I did it very well. I remember once, at the end of the 4 day course I was sick….I had a fever and I guess it was just because I was completely exhausted. I gave all my energy and passion during the course!
Thank you for this review. I like it a lot because you tell your personal point of view!
Thank you so much for sharing your experiences of speaking at the training courses.
Indeed, it sounds like you did a fantastic job to gain the respect of your audience. You must have done brilliantly are creating strong trust and demonstrating yourself as an expert in your field.
Passion is such a powerful emotion Lenia. I personally love it!
I hope you enjoy Bobby's book as much as I did.
It's so wonderful to see you as well. Thank you for leaving your comment here. I appreciate your support.
It can be exhausting when you first begin to speak from the heart. It is a bit like exercise – you need to build stamina. Hiten points out that I give short exercises throughout each lesson and I do that purposefully to build the resilience required. Facilitating training courses can be a real challenge but I'm certain you and your clients will have got the best from your efforts. Thanks for promising to put my book on your "to read" list – I sincerely hope you enjoy it and get great value from it.

Q: C: Accessing functions defined in header file dynamically Is there any way to access a function defined in a specific header file?
For example, in java, you can do:
Method m = Object.class.getMethod("foo", null);
Object result = m.invoke(null);

Is there any way to just pull all functions from a header, and then execute them one at a time?

Fasting involves a state of allowing the body to have a rest without taking any calorie. In the old days in order to ensure that your day is fresh people were being encouraged to take their breakfast after one hour of waking up so as to also increase the level of metabolism. Nowadays people are running to fasting which is a technique that relies on restricting yourself and eating during set times. This intermittent fasting concentrate more on lifestyle and less on diet since one is regulating herself or himself from eating. There are various techniques which are used in order to incorporate intermittent fasting in our day to day routine and these techniques include the following.
Alternating the days of your fasting is one of the technique which is used in order to incorporate intermittent fasting and this technique will also assist in reducing your weight. The practice of fasting involves fasting each and every day and eating every kind of food whenever you are not fasting. The trend of fasting each and every day usually makes people to take more calories when they are fasting than when they have stop fasting. Alternating the days of fasting will prevent you from over eating during the days of non-fasting since this method of fasting usually allows less consumption of calorie diet this becoming ineffective in your body.
Another technique which will help you to incorporate with intermittent fasting is lowering the level of meal you take every day. One is usually advised to consume only non-caloric beverages in a whole day and two times in a week when you are using this technique. When you want this technique to work in a better you can use the example of whereby if you are fasting on a Monday you will have you last meal on Sunday and the next meal you will have it will be when you will stop fasting.
There are various lessons which one learn as a result of intermittent fasting and one of it include the biggest problem is your own mind. So as to ensure that the process of incorporating with intermittent fasting is not hard one is supposed to follow a strict timetable which state that one should only consume meal during lunch hour and forget about the other meals. There are some mental barriers which appear as a result of trying incorporate with this process since before one agrees to follow such timetable there are various thoughts that undergoes in his or her mind. Another lesson that one learnt at the end of intermittent fasting is that losing weight is very fast.
