SAN FRANCISCO – RSA Conference USA 2012 Booth #1431 - February 27, 2012 - Qualys Inc., the pioneer and leading provider of information security and compliance cloud solutions, today at RSA Conference USA 2012 unveiled its new QualysGuard WAF service for securing web applications. The new service, delivered as part of the QualysGuard cloud platform and suite of integrated applications, provides protection against known and emerging web application threats. Additionally, the service provides increased web site performance through caching, compression and content optimisation to subscribers anywhere in the world, affordably and with no equipment needed.
Zero-Footprint, Low Cost Deployment. There is no hardware or software to install. Customers need only make a simple DNS change to benefit from the QualysGuard WAF's cloud delivery and protection network.
Ease of Use, Ease of Maintenance. The cloud delivery model means that hardware and software updates are handled transparently throughout the globally available service. Qualys security experts keep rules up-to-date with current threats, while flexible policies let customers match the strength of defence to the value of the web asset.
Real-Time Attack Prevention. The service's holistic approach to web application security combines an extensive database of security heuristics with IP reputation, geo-location awareness, traffic analysis, and protocol and user agent analysis. The result is real-time defence against known, unknown, and even highly customised attacks.
Application Hardening and Virtual Patching. The QualysGuard WAF reduces the attack surface of vulnerable web applications, giving attackers a smaller and harder target. In addition, attacks against known-vulnerable servers, frameworks, and applications may be "virtually patched" with purpose-written rules, providing needed protection during long remediation cycles (for example, waiting for vendor updates or developing and testing in-house patches and configuration changes).
Plugged Information Leaks. The service safeguards both requests and responses, protecting against the accidental disclosure of business-sensitive information and mitigating the risk of overly informative error pages intended for developers' eyes only.
QualysGuard WAF will be available in a limited beta in Q2 2012. For more information or to sign up for the beta, visit: www.qualys.com/waf.

Injury Rehab — Kinetic Medicine | Exercise Physiology to Help You Get Better. Stay Better. Live Better.
Sometimes, broken arms and legs – while painful in the short term – are nothing more than a nuisance that recover with just a few weeks off work and some rest. However, some injuries can lead to lifelong complications, often causing chronic pain in the process. You may think you'll never be able to return to a familiar and satisfying lifestyle again, but that's not necessarily true thanks to modern and proven injury rehab treatments.
We usually develop long-term injury rehab plans to work alongside other medical treatments, but many patients can reduce their medication requirements over time thanks to our innovative movement and exercise therapies. All our exercise physiologists are university-qualified health professionals, and we only utilise tried and tested treatments with proven results.


How big a change in teeth should one make when trying different rear sprockets? My bike came with a 46 and I was thinking of a 49. My thought is that I want to up the rpm out of a few turns where I seem to be running in the bike's flat spot (8000). Downshifting makes too big a change.
Increase your entry speed, this will keep the revs up so you don't drop off on the drive out. Also look at maximum speed at the end of the straight. This will help determine the best sprocket selection for each track.
Texas World has a long straight so a 15x45 may be a good selection.
Motorsport is shorter, a 14x47 in fifth gear could give you the best top end and drive out of the corners.

Candidates for Somerset County Freeholder
(three year term) (vote for two)
Vote for Two
Term: 3 years
The League of Women Voters of the Princeton Area submitted the following three questions to all candidates for freeholder:
1. What effect will the Hightstown, Hillsborough, and Millstone Bypasses and Highway NJ92 have on Somerset County?
2. How would you use the State Plan to allocate the financial resources of Somerset County?
3. What do you identify as the major issues facing Somerset County Freeholders within the next three years?
PETER S. PALMER*
Address: 22 Prospect Street, Bernardsville, NJ 07924
Education: Bernards High School; Cornell University, B.E.E.; Princeton University, M.S.E.; Fellow of the Society of Actuaries
Occupation: Actuary and commercial property owner
Community Activities: Mayor, Borough of Bernardsville - 10 years; Borough Council member - 16 years; Bernardsville Board of Education - 6 years; Founding member of the Somerset Hills Education Foundation; Volunteer Assistant Director of Bernards High School Marching Band - 40 years; Board member of Clinton Hill Area Redevelopment Corporation (low and moderate income housing, South Ward, Newark) - 22 years
1. Effect of bypasses - Hightstown - negligible on Somerset County Hillsborough - Will allow Hillsborough to create an identifiable downtown main street and pedestrian oriented community center. Will provide Somerville and Raritan better access to Route 206. Millstone - Removes major through and turning traffic from the historic village of Millstone. Route 92 - I see little likelihood of this road ever being built and therefore no impact.
2. The State Plan discourages sprawl development and directs growth to established urban centers. In my initial run for office in 1996 I advocated doubling the open space tax to its now current level of three cents, and delivered on that the following year. Among the County and now eleven municipal open space taxes we have $14 million annually devoted to open space and farmland preservation. As Finance Chairman in my first year on the Board I developed an economic incentive investment program targeted to the older Boroughs in the center of the County to provide infrastructure improvements to leverage private non-residential investment in their business districts. This program is precisely aimed at the goals of the State Plan.
3. Maintaining Somerset Countys preeminence in the top five best places to live in the United States Managing our Open Space and Farmland Trust Fund to achieve maximum effectiveness in preserving open space. Providing a competent, well trained work force to staff our blue chip corporate citizens and enabling them to get to work.
REBECCA PERKINS
Party: Democratic
Address: 50 Casale Drive, South Warren, NJ 07059
Education: M.A. English Literature, Drew University; BSE, Education, Emporia State University (Emporia, KS)
Occupation: Vice President, Communications HealthCare Institute of New Jersey
Significant Community Activities: President, Warren Township Board of Education 1994-1995 (member 1992-1995); Member, Somerset County Open Space Advisory Committee 1998-present; Vice-Chair, Somerset Co. Chamber of Commerce 1996-1998 President, Board of Trustees, Somerset Treatment Services 1995-1999; Member Board of Directors, Resource Center for Women and Their Families 1999-1997; Somerset County Outstanding Woman of the Year, Business 1998
1. The planned bypasses and Highway NJ92 may cancel each other out in achieving the desired effect of reducing traffic on Route 206. Traffic on 206 must be alleviated, but more planning needs to be done to see that communities are left intact. These transportation plans point out the need for regional planning, and more communication from the state with the municipalities and the county.
2. The State Plan sets some excellent goals for regional planning, transportation, and other issues, but lacks any real enforcement mechanisms. It does not even mandate cabinet level participation in planning efforts, which means that the state can ultimately overrule anything achieved on the county level. We need to move beyond vague statements about municipalities working together and determine how to enforce regional planning.
3. The three major issues are regional planning, the balancing of open space and development, and traffic. Enforced regional planning is the key to solving the open space issue, while allowing the county to continue the economic development that we need to maintain our standard of living. The traffic problem must be addressed now: our infrastructure simply cannot handle the volume of traffic we have now, let alone what we will have in three years.
JAMES B. VENTANTONIO
Address: 747 West Foothill Road, Bridgewater, NJ 08807
Education: J.D. Seton Hall Law School, B.A. Seton Hall University
Occupation: Attorney - Managing Partner, Ventantonio & Wildenhain Counsellors-At-Law Significant Community Activities: Former Chair, Somerset County Chamber of Commerce; Municipal Prosecutor; Bridgewater Planning Board; Vice Chair Somerset Alliance For The Future; Steering Committee - Regional Center Partners; Steering Committee - Economic Summits; Chair, Citizens Committee on Somerset Baseball Stadium; Former Law Professor - Seton Hall Law School; Former General Attorney - Bell Atlantic; Former Major - U.S. Army
1. The bypasses and Highway 92 will, for a short time, ease traffic. But any long range solutions depend on an integrated Growth Plan for Somerset and contiguous counties. SMS reported recently without a regional solution we will be built out by 2020. We must implement a regional growth plan that refocuses development into areas of the county that need ratables, that have existing transportation infrastructure and allow retention and expansion of open spaces. We must recycle brown fields, return them to productivity and practice the development art of in filling construction in older communities. This means willingness to experiment with innovative solutions such as revenue sharing, regional economic development, and regional assets districts.
2. The State Plan is an aspirational goal without sufficient teeth or enforcement. The designation of regional centers is a start but the Plan side-stepped revenue sharing, and it has moved too slowly in designating centers. Historically, 170 year old legislation requiring same day elections and an 1893 statute mandating one school district per town pushed home rule, an albatross we still carry.
3. One major issue facing Somerset County Freeholders is the need for action. A one party system for over 30 years has lead to cautious action, over-spending and a propensity for planning versus action. Flood control plans have been worked over for thirty years without resolution and ask Bound Brook and Manville the result. In that time frame, the Republicans have controlled our Congressional delegation, our Legislative delegation and our Freeholder Board. We must have a bias for action to assist and support all the citizens of the county. Other issues are accountability for county budget. The newest budget increased by 13.66 million dollars. My management and business experience can help oversee and audit these accelerating costs.

Today's Blog Feature is from Lucky Tan who blogs at Singapore Mind, on no-frills HDB flats.
On the same day it was revealed that Temasek Holdings and GIC together probably lost close to $100B or more, this topic about no frills housing surfaced. See there is a small but significant part of our society who can no longer afford to pay HDB's prices for flats so a number of PAP MPs proposed "no frills" housing. The idea is to provide housing stripped of amenities such as covered walkways, playgrounds and BBQ pits. Without these amenities, the HDB can sell the flats at lower prices. Oh this idea is so brilliant isn't it – poor people's children don't need playgrounds because they should be out helping their parents to earn money.
Hey who needs BBQ pits when you can't afford to buy the raw meat. Covered walkways? Just bring an umbrella whenever you go out. See the solution to unaffordable housing is not for HDB to lower its prices until they are affordable but to strip an estate of amenities until people can afford it.

COVID-19 has killed 350,000 Americans; South African variant alarms officials — 5 updates
Gabrielle Masson and Mackenzie Bean - Monday, January 4th, 2021 Print	| Email
The nation's COVID-19 death toll hit another grim milestone Jan. 4, surpassing 350,000 deaths, according to data from Baltimore-based Johns Hopkins University.
The nation also reported a record 277,897 new cases Jan. 2, per The COVID Tracking Project, though this data is inflated due to holiday reporting delays. Holiday reporting slowdowns will cause reporting gaps and backlogs for COVID-19 data on cases, deaths and testing figures that are unlikely to stabilize until the second week of January at the earliest, the Tracking Project said.
Four more updates:
1. The fast-spreading COVID-19 variant has been detected in three states and in 33 other countries, reports The New York Times. The U.K. strain has been discovered in Colorado, California and Florida, all in patients that did not report any travel history. Meanwhile, South Africa has reported a new, potentially more concerning variant. Read more here.
2. Britain is delaying second doses of Pfizer's COVID-19 vaccine to give more people their first doses and thus partial protection from the virus, reports The New York Times. The country is also permitting people to receive interchangeable vaccine doses if a second shot from the same vaccine manufacturer is unavailable or unknown.
3. The U.S. is considering halving the doses of Moderna's COVID-19 vaccine to increase the nation's vaccine supply, Moncef Slaoui, PhD, chief scientific advisor to Operation Warp Speed, told CBS' "Face the Nation" Jan. 3. Dr. Slaoui cited clinical trial data showing that adults who received two half doses of the vaccine had an "identical immune response" to those who received standard doses. Dr. Slaoui said the decision to adopt the proposed plan lies with the FDA.
4. U.S. air travel hit a pandemic high Jan. 2, according to TSA data cited by CNBC. Despite warnings from health officials to limit holiday travel and gatherings, 1.19 million Americans were screened for air travel, the highest figure since mid-March.
Snapshot of COVID-19 in the U.S.
Cases: 20,640,214
Counts reflect data available as of 8:55 a.m. CST Jan. 4.

March 5 (UPI) -- Raytheon was awarded a $63.3 million contract to further develop the Tactical Boost Glide hypersonic weapons program.
Raytheon announced the contract on Monday, revealing the work will be part of a joint development of the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency and the Air Force. The contract includes critical design review of the new missile system, a key step in fielding the technology.
The weapons are meant to meet the reported development of hypersonic weapons by other nations, specifically Russia and China.
The system allows for longer ranges with shorter response times and enhanced effectiveness compared with current military systems, according to DARPA. A tactical-range boost glide weapon achieves hypersonic speeds, or velocities five times greater than the speed of sound or Mach 5. The payload then separates from the rocket and glides unpowered to its destination.
"This latest contract adds to Raytheon's growing number of hypersonic weapons programs," Dr. Thomas Bussing, Raytheon Advanced Missile Systems vice president, said in a press release. "Raytheon is working closely with our customers to quickly field these advanced weapon systems and provide our nation's military with the tools they need to stay ahead of the escalating threat."
In 2016, Raytheon was awarded a $174 million contract for the United States for the hypersonic air-breathing weapon concept program.
Last November, DARPA released proposals for development of hypersonic missile propulsion systems, as well as for the development of missile defense systems called Glide Breaker, which is designed to intercept the hypersonic vehicles of other nations.
The Pentagon has said that developing countermeasures for hypersonic weapons is a key priority.
Russian President Vladimir Putin plans to deploy its Avangard scramjet hypersonic boost-glide missile mounted on a ICBM by 2020. Conventional or nuclear warheads could be mounted on the missile, he said.
"The most significant advance by our adversaries has been the Chinese development of what is now today a pretty mature system for conventional prompt strike at multi-thousand kilometer ranges," Defense Undersecretary Michael Griffin told the House Armed Services Committee during a hearing in April 2018. "We will, with today's defensive systems, not see these things coming."
Griffin proposed developing systems from the land and sea.
The United States has also been developing its own hypersonic missiles.
Last April, Lockheed Martin was awarded a $480 million contract to design a hypersonic missile prototype for the U.S. Air Force, called the Air-Launched Rapid Response Weapon. Another prototyping program is the Hypersonic Conventional Strike Weapon, which is also under development by Lockheed Martin.

The word mastic is derived from the Greek verb, (μαστιχειν –mastihein = "to gnash the teeth", which is the source of the English word masticate.[1] The word masticis a synonym for gum in many languages.
Imitations and substitutes
The rarity of mastic and the difficulty of its production make it expensive. As a result, imitations in the form of other resins appear in the market, sold as "mastic," such as Boswellia or gum arabic. Other trees, such as Pistacia palaestina, can also produce a resin similar to mastic. Yet other substances, such as pine tree resin and almond tree resin, are sometimes used in place of mastic.
Mastic is a natural resin that comes from the trunk of the mastic tree. The color is whitish – yellowish and translucent transparent up. The mastic tree grows only in southern Chios. It takes the full development of 40-50 years and lives about 100 from the 5th to the 6th year gives the resin after the 15th produces 60-250gr and in rare cases 400g. The exclusive production of the island of Chios due in accordance with temperate climate theories in the area and underwater volcanoes and limestone soil. Attempts have been made to cultivate the mastic mastic tree and in other parts of Greece and other countries, but without success.
The properties of mastic had been discovered since ancient times. The first reports from Herodotus in the 5th century BC .. Many ancient authors refer to the therapeutic properties of mastic as Pliny, Theophrastos, Dioscorides and Galenos. The medicinal properties were known to Hippocrates. In ancient Rome they used toothpicks of mastic to whiten their teeth. In ancient Greece chewed the dried resinous liquid that flowed from the bark of the mastic tree. Also found prescriptions which seems mastic used in various diseases. The mastic production is from June to September. The flavor of gum chewing in the beginning is rather bitter but then disappears and the special scent adds a special flavor. The hardness is due to many factors such as temperature, exposure time of mastic and size of your tear.
researches alleged that Chios mastic extract reduces the disintegration of COLLAGEN
What Does Collagen Do?
May help to maintain Arthros & joints problems, healthy hair, skin and nails.It is thought that from the age of 25, your body loses collagen at a rate of 1.5% per annum, so by the age of 35, your body will have lost 15% and by 45, 30%. This is when you really start to notice a change in your skin's elasticity and texture.
Collagen naturally contains glucosamine and chondroitin which may help to support healthy joints by attracting fluid back into the joint space to cushion the bone and by rebuilding cartilage.
Kollagen är den viktigaste struktursubstansen i bindväven och därmed viktig för hudens elasticitet och densitet, men är även av avgörande betydelse för ledfunktionen. Antioxidativ, naturlig vitamin C från Acai & Camu-camu bär skyddar cellerna mot skador från oxidativ stress.
Medicine:People in the Mediterranean region have used mastic as a medicine for gastrointestinal ailments for several thousand years. The first-century Greek physician and botanist, Dioscorides, wrote about the medicinal properties of mastic in his classic treatise De Materia Medica ("About Medical Substances").Consumption of mastic has been proven to absorb cholesterol, thus easing high blood pressure and reducing the risk of heart attacks. Mastic oil also has antibacterial and antifungal properties, and as such is widely used in the preparation of ointments for skin disorders and afflictions. It is also used in the manufacture of plasters.In recent years, university researchers have provided the scientific evidence for the medicinal properties of mastic. A 1985 study by the University of Thessaloniki and by the Meikai University discovered that mastic can reduce bacterial plaque in the mouth by 41.5%. A 1998 study by the University of Athens found that mastic oil has antibacterial and antifungal properties. Another 1998 University of Nottingham study, claims that mastic can heal peptic ulcers by killing Helicobacter pylori, which causes peptic ulcers, gastritis, and duodenitis. Some in vivo studies have shown that mastic gum has no effect on H. pylori when taken for short periods of time. However, a recent and more extensive study showed that mastic gum reduced H. pylori populations after an insoluble and sticky polymer (poly-β-myrcene) constituent of mastic gum was removed and taken for a longer period of time. Further analysis showed the acid fraction was the most active antibacterial extract, and the most active pure compound was isomasticadienolic acid.Mastic is a natural resin that comes from the trunk of the mastic tree. The color is whitish – yellowish and translucent transparent up. The mastic tree grows only in southern Chios.

Dioscorides (1st century AD.) "Father of pharmacology", physician and botanist from Cilicia, had a pharmacy for 35 years and classify drugs into 5 categories. His work "De Materia Medica" I did not overcome until the 16th century. Dioscorides praises the healing properties of Chios Mastic indicating that helps in cases of indigestion, the reproduction of blood in chronic cough, while acting as a sedative drug. It also found that chewing mastic than oral hygiene and gives pure and fresh breath. In another reference to the fact he speaks of a mastic, the essential oil of mastic, which as stated variously applied for diseases of the uterus, as mild heating, astringent and emollient agent. Chios Mastic (natural rubber)
· Chios Mastiha
What is Mastiha? Mastiha is the natural and rare tree resin of the pistacia lentiscus var Chia tree. Scientific research has shown that this resin has anti-oxidant, anti-bacterial, and anti-inflammatory qualities. It has been documented from antiquity for its health benefits, its use as the first natural chewing gum and as a cooking spice. Today, it is still chewed as well as used in pharmaceuticals, cosmetics, and in the culinary world. Chios Mastiha contributes to a healthy gastrointestinal system and has beneficial effects for both oral hygiene and skin care. Chios Mastiha is protected by the European Union as a Protected Designation of Origin (PDO) product. This distincion recognizes the name of a specific region or country where a specific agricultural product originates exclusively due to the geographical environment. This includes the natural and human factors and production, alteration and processes which take place in the delineated geographical area. All PDO products bear the EU symbol designating them as such. Chewing Chios Mastiha is a truly unique experience. To create your own natural piece of gum, select a few medium pieces of the resin, or combine a small piece with a large one. The larger pieces tend to be softer than the small ones, so it is recommended that one chew a mixture rather than chew only the small, hard pieces. Before chewing, let the pieces moisten in your mouth. Mastiha may taste a bit bitter at first, but that taste fades into a light herbal flavor. Begin chewing and Mastiha becomes a white silky color. The resin keeps its hard texture indefinitely and this is precisely why it is recommended for gum health and amazingly clean teeth! Keep chewing the gum for a half hour in order to gain all the therapeutic benefits. For more information on Chios Mastiha, click on the informational brochures below. Chios Mastiha Overview Chios Mastiha Medical and Scientific Reports Chios Mastiha Guide to Beauty Care De första rapporterna om mastix och mastix identifierats i antiken and essentially derived from Herodotus (484-420 BC), who shall state that in ancient Greece chewed the dried resinous liquid flowing from the bark of the mastic. In medical texts late antiquity found wealth recipe, main ingredient putty, which is beneficial to human health and assigned many properties. Usually used in combination with other natural materials to treat many diseases. In fact, due to the strong impact of antiflegmonodous eleanolikou and oleanolic acid (3-oxotriterpenio) works mastic vulnerary lysis inflammation starting from specific organs periodontitis, esophagitis, gastritis, duodenal ulcer and colitis until hemorrhoids. Also prevents the stagnation in these areas prevent symptoms like indigestion or flatulence. In addition, the digestion is facilitated by reflex secretion of saliva and gastric juice by chewing gum. The fact is that the mastic is still used today to soft tumors of the anus, breast, liver, parotid, spleen, stomach, intestine, esophagus, also for diarrhea in children. Moreover, it is considered an analgesic, antitussive, orexigenic, aphrodisiac, astringent, erythropoiesis, diuretic, expectorant and haemostatic. Mastic is mentioned as the traditional antidote to abscesses, acne, cancer, ulcers and tumors, malignant vesicles kardiodynias, warts, inertia, gingivitis, bad breath, white discharge, mastitis, lace and atherosclerosis. Recent medical studies at the University of Nottingham said that even in minimal doses (1 mg daily for 2 weeks), putty heal ulcers, which is responsible for the bacterium Helicobacter Pylori, due to its antimicrobial action, while important and its effect on liver function , and activates detoxifying activity. In this way absorbed cholesterol, whose concentration in the blood decreases, which reduces the risk of cardiovascular disease. Still, out and diuretic properties, while important is the inhibition of leukotriene synthesis by the action of mastic. Another modern scientific research that led to the isolation and identification of ursolic and oleanolic acid, revealed and confirmed that many of the pharmaceuticals business putty, such as cancer, liver protective, anti-inflammatory, antiulcer, antimicrobial (against many pathogens such as Staphylococcus and Salmonella) anti-hyperlipidemia and antiviral actions, mainly explained that ursolic acid, and isomer oleanolic acid. The second most common use of mastic in connection with the care of the oral cavity. It is suitable for making toothpaste (Epitomae 2.26), provide clean breathing and release excess moisture in the mouth (Aëtius 3141). In fact it has been found that the addition of natural gum paste in toothpaste, wash solutions and fresh breath leads to strengthening the immune system of the tissue between the teeth and gums, which acts against the formation of plaque and other periodontal diseases. The mechanism involves the reaction of the components of the gum polymorphic cell nuclei in the region of the oral cavity and causes accumulation of white blood cells. Of particular interest is the fact that the mastic used for trimming. It served as a sunscreen to avoid burns from the sun (Oribasius, Ad Eustathium 6.53), while an important ingredient in the manufacture of soaps and beauty cream (Aëtius 8.14). In modern cosmetics, putty, because of ursolic acid and its isomer, oleanolic acid, is used in preparations intended to improve hair growth and protection from irritation of the scalp. In addition, corporate cosmetics and perfumes using mastic, such as essential oil in the manufacture of perfumes and face creams, as ursolic acid, among other things, establishes structures of collagen and elasticity of the skin and thereby reduce the aging time. Nevertheless, the glue that is used in confectionery as an additive in the production of large amounts of candy, confectionery and bakery flavor while cooking adds a distinctive flavor to meat, cheese, or as a condiment. In the beverage industry, serves to produce liqueur ouzo, such as by adding rubber drink gets its taste and reduces the harmful effects of alcohol. Finally, it is putty ideal food preservatives, because it prevents the growth of harmful microorganisms in them, such as Salmonella enteritidis, Staphylococcus aureus, Pseudomonas fragi, Candida albicans, and so on. The biological activity of Chios mastic gum has been evaluated in several in vitro studies related to the ability to inhibit the oxidation of LDL (bad cholesterol), where it has the highest antioxidant activity compared to other plastics and rubbers, and thus increased protection for the cardiovascular system. Resin of the mastic Chiou contain substantial amounts of various polyphenols compared with other natural products, in combination with other components (such as terpenoids) acquires beneficial health properties. Among these properties, has an important role played by the general antioxidant. Antioxidant activity Protection of LDL (bad cholesterol) by oxidation which leads to a reduction of cholesterol deposited in tissues and thus a reduction in the production rate of atherosclerotic plaque, reducing the risk of heart disease and certain cancers. In addition, polyphenols exhibit and other protective physiological effects, good for health, the most important of these are summarized as follows:
Reduce blood sugar and blood cholesterol
Protection of epithelial cells in the respiratory tract
Increase levels of HDL (good cholesterol) and lower levels of LDL (bad cholesterol)
Anti-tumor activity (in colon cancer cell apoptosis)
Antimicrobial and antibacterial activity
Antiallergic properties (inhibition of platelet aggregation)
In conclusion, we can say that the daily chewing gum of Chios, mainly in raw form (crystals or "tears" putty) and fine-grained, candy (gum) or Mastich oil, in addition to beautiful natural taste and freshness attributes, has significantly resulting in protecting and preserving our health through different effects on our body. Finally, it is understood that the cement product is unique, both for its properties and for the exclusive origin, since the glue tree grows only on the island of Chios. http://www.gummastic.gr/index.php?contentid=73&langflag=_en http://www.fytokomia.gr/permalink/4150.html Home »Health» The healing properties of mastic The healing properties of mastic mastic.

The putty is considered to be a product of really great features for medical, confectionery, orthodontics, etc. Surveys show that mastic has antiseptic and anti-inflammatory effect. Mastic works healing, inflammation cure specific diseases: periodontal disease, esophagitis, gastritis, duodenal ulcer, colitis and hemorrhoids. Clinically, mastic accepted particularly beneficial for the treatment of duodenal ulcer, because it can inhibit the growth of Helicobacter pylori, which lives in the gastrointestinal mucosa in 90% of patients with duodenal ulcer and 60% of patients suffering from gastric ulcer, which causes changes in cellular structure. Recent studies have demonstrated the presence of polyphenolic compounds that are known for their strong antioxidant activity, and protect tissues and cells of the organism in the presence of free radicals. Other positive properties of mastic, which mednutrition.gr, is as follows: Lowering blood sugar and cholesterol levels. Protection of the airway epithelial cells. Increasing levels of HDL (good cholesterol) and decrease LDL (bad cholesterol). Antikarkiniki action (in colon cancer cell apoptosis). Antimicrobial and antibacterial activity. Antiallergic properties.
As mentioned above the aromatic resinous substance derived from the trunk and branches of the mastic tree. Its use is known from ancient times. It has been used in traditional and practical therapeutic for various conditions such as abdominal pain, dyspepsia and peptic ulcers. In modern times the scientific community, in a correct and scientific way, is to document the beneficial properties of Chios mastic. Be noted here that the systematic use of chewing can cause significant inhibition of bacterial growth in the oral cavity, while reducing the formation of plaque on teeth. Chewing also helps dressage gum, with all its beneficial effects on the health of teeth and because of the special taste and hardness, causes secretion saloiy, resulting in a feeling of freshness and cleanliness.

Double-crested Cormorant (Phalacrocorax auritus) and Canada Goose (Branta canadensis)
(Artwork - 203)
While I don't have a favourite bird species (if pushed I sometimes name the Northern Mockingbird) the Double-crested Cormorant (Phalacrocorax auritus) is rapidly filling that position. I have been observing them since seeing my first, as a kid, in 1957, and the more I learn about them the more fascinating they become to me. The first major painting I ever did and sold was of this species, and I had the honor of illustrating Linda Wires' heavily recommended book, The Double-Crested Cormorant: Plight of a Feathered Pariah, published by Yale University Press in 2014. So, I may have drawn, sketched and painted this species more than any other, and am always happy to do so again.
I started this painting last July, after visiting a nearby water impoundment and finding about a dozen or so of these birds were visiting. The impoundment is shallow and nearly land-locked, but has fish, and so I have seen all three native mergansers, grebes, Caspian Terns and even, last year, two pairs of Common Terns, all visiting, but obviously there are not enough fish to allow any of these species to nest. I was surprised that most of the cormorants still had at least some of the twin tufts of feathers on their heads that give them their common name. While sported by both sexes in breeding plumage, they are soon moulted out after breeding.
My scene shows one bird in preening while holding the wings spread, a characteristic pose believed to facilitate drying the feathers since the birds produce less oil from their oil glands than do other aquatic birds, and must "haul out" to dry, periodically. That bird is a yearling, not yet in breeding plumage, and I theorize that all the birds were probably free-roaming bachelors, since breeding birds must stay relatively close to the nests, and the nearest colony is not near.
I included a Canada Goose (Branta canadensis) as there were quite a few present. Some breed there but most were also non-breeding birds, what are called "moult-migrants" who go through their flightless wing-molt stage where they have access to food near water, one of their favourite foods being grass and there were a lot of lawns nearby. I took artist's liberty with the far shore, entirely made up, and added "erratics", the name given to boulders and rocks, some quite large, left behind by the glaciers that carried them here during the last ice age.
This cormorant is native to North America, from the Pacific coast east as far as Newfoundland and Labrador and south as far as Mexico. There is some geographic variation, with western birds showing white crests of long, slender plumes. The birds who nest in the Great Lakes basin seem mostly to winter along the Gulf coast, but they might occur anywhere the water is ice-free. They tend to nest in colonies, some large, often in company with other colonial species. They nest both in trees, and on the ground, as well as on cliffs and sometimes human-made infrastructure, such as bridges. This is an oil painting on a birchwood panel, mounted on a basswood frame, 24 by 30 inches.

Dressed fine, your larder brimmed with choicest fare.
At Lazarus, the beggar lying helpless at your feet.
Disgusting man, his dirty sores oozed poverty.
Why should your crumbs be shared with one so base?
And what cared you that hunger marred his face?
He had no right to any of your hard-earned money.
But sumptuous fare was waiting for him in another land.
His God rewarded him with heaven's best.
Yet you entreated comfort from his now-healed hand.
Thus you are nothing like the gracious God of Abraham.
This morning I heard an excellent sermon on this passage. The priest was careful to point out that the story of the rich man and Lazarus cannot be interpreted as a diatribe against riches. Lazarus did not go to heaven because he was poor, and the rich man was not doomed by his riches. Salvation comes only through God's grace, and those whom God redeems by grace are made like Him. In his life, the rich man was perfectly situated to show forth the love of God by sharing his worldly goods. That he refused to do so is proof that he was not a child of God, who is loving and merciful.
I haven't commented recently on poetic form, but with this one, the form is part of the full effect. The story of the rich man and Lazarus is that of a reversal of fortune, and the rhyme scheme of a-b-b-a, with the "a" lines having seven feet and the "b" lines having five feet, is intended to convey that concept.
Also, the phrase "disgusting man" at the beginning of line 5 is deliberately unclear in its reference, the point being that the rich man would have thought Lazarus disgusting, while all the time, his own selfishness was the most disgusting thing of all. And you've already guessed that the title has a dual meaning as well.
Such precision in form as well as in theology has made an excellent poem. Thank you.


The Near Witch is only an old story told to frighten children. If the wind calls at night, you must not listen. The wind is lonely, and always looking for company. There are no strangers in the town of Near. These are the truths that Lexi has heard all her life. But when an actual stranger, a boy who seems to fade like smoke, appears outside her home on the moor at night, she knows that at least one of these sayings is no longer true. The next night, the children of Near start disappearing from their beds, and the mysterious boy falls under suspicion. As the hunt for the children intensifies, so does Lexi's need to know about the witch that just might be more than a bedtime story, about the wind that seems to speak through the walls at night, and about the history of this nameless boy.

Pastor Rock Schuler discusses how to live a spiritual and prayerful life, including how to find a deeper spiritual aspect to life.
Host: Is there a deeper spiritual aspect to life?
Rock Schuler: Well around 1600 or 1700 years ago, a man by the name of Augustin, wrote in his autobiography, Our hearts are restless for God until they rest in you. By that, he meant that there is at the core of our being a hole, if you will, a hole that has been built into the center of who we are by our creator, designed to be filled by the presence of God. That hole shows us that we are fundamentally spiritual beings, created to be in a relationship with the spiritual with God. That is why, virtually every human society has developed a particular spirituality, a religion to try and fill that hole. So, yes, we are spiritual beings. How do we get in touch with the spiritual core of ourselves? First of all, recognize that hole at the center of who we are and then fill it with the presence of God.

View Full Version : Why Did Theresa Shut Down Tombraiders.com?
I was enquiring about this in the AOD Forum, and Collin suggested I ask here.
Several years ago, there was a great TR site called tombraiders.com (with an "s"), run by a woman named Theresa Something. Then abruptly one day, it had been abandoned. There was no new content, and Theresa didn't respond to e-mail.
Collin said that there were a number of refuges here from that site, so I thought I'd ask the burning question: what actually happened? Why did Theresa abandon the site? Does anybody here know?

Q: trouble downloading Django on Mac I have had problems downloading anything onto my mac (OS x 10.5.4).
So far I have successfully downloaded Python 3.4, PIP (through terminal), and when I try to download Django through terminal (sudo pip install Django==1.6.4) I get this error message.

*Install virtualenv and virtualenvwrapper, here's a nice tutorial: https://jamie.curle.io/blog/installing-pip-virtualenv-and-virtualenvwrapper-on-os-x/

*Create a virtualenv with the python version you want to use: mkvirtualenv my_virtual_env -p python3.4.

*You should be "inside" your virtualenv (if you're not do: workon my_virtual_env). Now you can install Django and all you want:
(my_virtual_env) user@host$ pip install Django==1.6

That (my_virtual_env) thing you see indicates what virtualenv is active. Welcome to the virtualenv world. Please read the docs.

Q: loops for calculating probability of values in an array uni is the array created by counting the unique values of an array
uni=cs.unique()

I have the unique values in an array like this
uni = array(['suggest', 'inform', 'discuss', 'sell_or_buy', 'get_information','entertain'], dtype=object)

I want to calculate the probability for naive bays so I gave to following as a loop
prob =[]

for i in uni:
    prob1 = cs.value_counts().i/cs.count()
    prob.append(prob1)
print(prob)

I got the following error
'Series' object has no attribute 'i'

where did I go wrong pls help me understand.

A: Just use list.
prob =[]
#just an example
cs = ['suggest', 'suggest', 'inform', 'discuss', 'discuss', 'sell_or_buy', 'get_information','entertain']
uni = ['suggest', 'inform', 'discuss', 'sell_or_buy', 'get_information','entertain']
for i in uni:
    prob1 = cs.count(i)/len(cs)
    prob.append(prob1)
print(prob)

A real estate transaction currently under way would have a crescent-shaped commercial property in the Bottineau neighborhood become an auto impound lot. Employees of Bobby & Steve's Auto World Downtown, along with broker Chad Blihovde and designers from Civil Site Group gave a presentation at a Bottineau Neighborhood Association Board meeting the evening of March 12, outlining the auto service company's plans for the site, for which they have a purchase agreement.
The 2.3-acre property at 1901 Grand St. NE is primarily fenced land bordered by rail tracks on the East, and includes the Sinclair Depot building, a 5000-sq.-ft. events venue. It has been owned by Steve Loftman for the past 30 years and is currently zoned Industrial-1. The buyers are seeking a change to Industrial-2, and a conditional use permit to operate an impound lot.
Bobby & Steve's Operations Manager Allen Sando gave some background to the proposal: "Besides auto service and repair, we do towing. Our primary towing business in the city is with AAA; we also tow for state patrol, taking cars off the highway. We do Class A impounding, which means that the drivers, trucks and businesses are regulated. It is not predatory towing, which a lot of suburbs and other cities do; we don't patrol streets looking for violations. We work for the property owners of the city of Minneapolis. Property owners must call us if they need a car removed or impounded. And with Class A towing, all impounds must stay in the city limits. We are one of four companies that do this.
Blihovde, whose business, Urban Industries, specializes in identifying distressed urban properties and finding new uses for them, said, "We can dedicate part of this property at an industrial rate, a low price, for artistic use, which is what we want to do. I understand that, for art space in the Twin Cities, a lot of artists move in to an area and clean it up and make it more attractive, and then prices rise and the artists get pushed out." He said Bobby & Steve's would need about 400 square feet for an office "presence" at the site.
Some board members expressed concern about the number of cars that would be stored at the lot. Danielle Fleischman, Bobby & Steve's towing department head, said 70 percent of impounded cars are released within the first 24 hours, and the city requires impound release between 8 a.m. and midnight. There would be at least one employee at the lot at all times.
Sando noted that while the lot has the capacity for up to 150 cars, "We don't anticipate that number of cars at any one time. Of the 30 percent of cars remaining after the first day, 20 percent of those will go for salvage, which can be done after 45 days, and no disassembly or mechanical work done would be done at the lot." He added that there would be some towing at night, such as Highway Patrol and DWI impounds, but stressed that the majority of the tows would occur during the day.
Bottineau's next scheduled meeting is in the third week of April, but Bottineau Neighborhood Coordinator Nancy Przymus thinks a special meeting before then is a possibility.
