Regillum fou una ciutat dels sabins esmentada per antics escriptors com a lloc de residència d'Atta o Attius Clausus, que va emigrar a Roma vers el 505 aC amb un gran nombre de clients i seguidors, i va adoptar el nom d'Appius Claudius, fundant la família o gens Clàudia.

Seixanta anys després C. Claudius, oncle del decemvir Appi Claudi, es va retirar temporalment a Regillum. Després d'això la ciutat no torna a aparèixer ni s'ha pogut situar.

Facts about San Diego, CA
San Diego is a major city in California, United States. It is in San Diego County, on the coast of the Pacific Ocean in Southern California, approximately 120 miles (190 km) south of Los Angeles and immediately adjacent to the border with Mexico.
With an estimated population of 1,406,630 as of July 1, 2016, San Diego is the eighth-largest city in the United States and second-largest in California. It is part of the San Diego–Tijuana conurbation, the second-largest transborder agglomeration between the US and a bordering country after Detroit–Windsor, with a population of 4,922,723 people. The city is known for its mild year-round climate, natural deep-water harbor, extensive beaches, long association with the United States Navy, and recent emergence as a healthcare and biotechnology development center.
According to SDSU professor emeritus Monte Marshall, San Diego Bay is "the surface expression of a north-south-trending, nested graben". The Rose Canyon and Point Loma fault zones are part of the San Andreas Fault system. About 40 miles (64 km) east of the bay are the Laguna Mountains in the Peninsular Ranges, which are part of the backbone of the American continents.
The city lies on approximately 200 deep canyons and hills separating its mesas, creating small pockets of natural open space scattered throughout the city and giving it a hilly geography. Traditionally, San Diegans have built their homes and businesses on the mesas, while leaving the urban canyons relatively wild. Thus, the canyons give parts of the city a segmented feel, creating gaps between otherwise proximate neighborhoods and contributing to a low-density, car-centered environment. The San Diego River runs through the middle of San Diego from east to west, creating a river valley which serves to divide the city into northern and southern segments. During the historic period and presumably earlier as well, the river has shifted its flow back and forth between San Diego Bay and Mission Bay, and its fresh water was the focus of the earliest Spanish explorers. Miguel Costansó, a cartographer, wrote in 1769, "When asked by signs where the watering-place was, the Indians pointed to a grove which could be seen at a considerable distance to the northeast, giving to understand that a river or creek flowed through it, and that they would lead our men to it if they would follow." That river was the San Diego River. Several reservoirs and Mission Trails Regional Park also lie between and separate developed areas of the city.
The city had a population of 1,307,402 according to the 2010 census, distributed over a land area of 372.1 square miles (963.7 km²). The urban area of San Diego extends beyond the administrative city limits and had a total population of 2,956,746, making it the third-largest urban area in the state, after that of the Los Angeles metropolitan area and San Francisco metropolitan area. They, along with the Riverside–San Bernardino, form those metropolitan areas in California larger than the San Diego metropolitan area, which had a total population of 3,095,313 at the 2010 census.

How to Create a Wiggles Costume
By Robin Raven
Robin Raven
Create a Wiggles Costume
They're a music sensation made up of four men who have found international success. No, it's not the Beatles--it's the Wiggles. Their brightly colored attire and innocent music bring smiles to the most cynical of faces. Children across the globe are in their fan club, attend their shows and watch them on television. It's hard to find a costume that will make your child have more fun with you on Halloween than that of a Wiggle.
Choose which Wiggle you want to be. You can wear blue, red, yellow, or purple. Let your insecurities go because you must be confident to be able to pull off being one of the Wiggles. You may go with whichever one is your child's favorite.
Put on a long-sleeved, full color shirt that matches the Wiggle of your choice. Make sure it is just the right size and fit for moving around in, singing and dancing. You need to be active and energetic to pull of the Wiggles look.
Choose a pair of black pants with a stripe down each side that directly matches the color of your shirt. They should be somewhat casual as you will be doing a lot of moving around in them. You can still pull off a Wiggle costume without the matching stripe, but try to put it all together so you can be a more authentic Wiggle.
Put on some black dancing shoes. Get ready to get your Wiggle groove on.
Cut and style your hair in a short, preppy look. Hair isn't a big concern for the Wiggles. It should be cut short so there's no worry about it while you are out singing and dancing.
Practice the songs and moves of the Wiggles. You can do this by looking at their official website (see Resources). You could always watch their video and learn at least one or two songs by heart, along with some dance moves, before you go out in costume. You won't be able to pull off the costume without the music to back you up.
Try on a couple of the different colors in order to decide which costume of the Wiggles works best for you.
Don't be afraid to express your Wiggle fun. Adults can have fun with this costume without shame.

I honestly don't mind doing it, because I want to use/wear my FOs as soon as possible, but I'd much rather do the knitting part of it. Now weaving in ends is another story. If I had a weaving-in-ends fairy I'd be the happiest knitter ever!

The highly promising three-year-olds Sanctioned, Toga Picta and Alizee take early steps and high hopes toward major Spring goals at Randwick on Saturday.
And for two of them a Classic opportunity could lay ahead.
The colts Sanctioned (James Cummings/Jay Ford) and Toga Picta (James Cummings/Michael Walker) both resume in the G3 Up And Coming Stakes, and both have indicated in recent trials they are ready to make forward showings.
"This might be a little sharp for Sanctioned, but he's a very interesting horse," Cummings said.
Toga Picta is also headed for races longer than the 1300m of Saturday's race.
"He showed a lot of promise with a barnstorming finish in the Fernhill Handicap in his final run as a two-year-old and he's trialled well this time in," his trainer said.
Alizee (Glyn Schofield), a half-sister the G1-winning sprinter Astern, has already begun her three-year-old campaign in good style and looks capable of adding the Listed Silver Shadow Stakes to her record.
"She's the only filly in the field with match fitness and she gets a wonderful opportunity on top of the ground here," Cummings said.
Alizee is opposed by only four runners, including the G3 winner and G1 Blue Diamond placegetter Formality and Champagne Cuddles who is unbeaten in her only two starts.

Like most music obsessives, I have a love-hate relationship with iTunes.
I'm thankful that the service exists for its ease of use, and I worship daily at the mantle that is the genius of the iPod. It changed my life, seriously. To be able to carry with me my entire music collection (5,500 songs, give or take...) is just the most important techie thing to have ever happened to me. End of story.
BUT I don't like how iTunes gets away with little customer service screw-ups. Remember my rant about their gift cards? One of the best gifts in my opinion, however, you CANNOT use them for purchasing iPhone applications. Silly, yes?
Well, my other main pet peeve with Apple's iTunes... when there's a song that you really want but you can only buy it as part of an entire CD. I desperately want the latest tune by The Bird and the Bee -- it's found on the new soundtrack for that star-studded 'Valentine's Day' flick but in order to lovingly cradle it in the safe environs of my iPhone, I have to pay for songs that I would never, ever dream of owning. Musical clutter. At a price. Ugh.
I have voiced my displeasure to the band via their Facebook page in order to make ME feel better. I'd never expect my rant -- which also set off others too, ha! -- to make a change in this case because it's really big, nasty iTunes who are to blame here and not the little band, but at least I said my peace.
Now I'll just move on and ignore that song that I want so much....*sigh* Until next time.

How to Convert an Audio File to Video Format
By Mitchell White
It can be useful to turn an audio file into a video file when you want to upload music to a website that only takes video files, such as Youtube. By adding a picture to a song, you can create a file in video format that you should be able to upload to your streaming video website. You can use the native software program Windows Movie Maker to get this done.
Open Windows Movie Maker.
Go to the "File" menu and select "Import into Collections." A browse window will appear. Double-click on your audio file to add it to the "Collections" box. Repeat the process with a picture file to add a picture to the box as well.
Click on your MP3 file in the collections box and drag it down to where it says "Audio." Drag your picture down to where it says "Video."
Click on the "File" menu and save your new video.

Ravensbrück concentration camp hospital – factory of death
Even those at the brink of death feared the ministrations of the camp infirmary. Illustration: Olena Wityk-Wojtowycz
2020/05/08 - 12:44 • History of Ukraine, International

Third in a series of five memoirs written by our mother, Olha Froliak Eliashevska, Nazi death camp survivor.
Our mother was born in a family of eight children in the village of Karliw (present-day Prutivka), Sniatynsky Raion, Ivano-Frankivsk Oblast on December 26, 1919.
As a young Ukrainian student and political activist, she was arrested on December 11, 1943, imprisoned in Wels/Donau and Linz Gestapo prisons, and then incarcerated in Ravensbrück concentration camp (acknowledged period of detention – from December 11, 1943 to April 5, 1945).
This is the continuation of her story…
The Ravensbrück concentration camp infirmary, known as the Revier, was often simply a way station to death, the place where doctors and nurses carried out terrifying experiments and eventually killed the sick, the weak, and the so-called "idiots".
From August 1, 1942 to August 16, 1943, seventy-four Polish female prisoners and an unspecified number of women prisoners of other nationalities underwent horrific surgeries without the use of anaesthesia. They were called "Die Kaninchen"(The Rabbits), women prisoners who were used as human guinea pigs for brutal experimental surgeries, performed on the bones, muscles and nerves of the lower limbs, mostly on the shanks, and sometimes on the thighs.
The surgeries were performed by physicians from Hohenlychen Hospital supervised by Professor Karl Franz Gebhardt and Dr Fritz Ernst Fischer and later by others. The camp's SS doctors, Dr Herta Oberheuser, Dr Rolf Rosenthal, and Dr Gerhard Schiedlausky participated in these gruesome medical experiments.
In July and August 1944, barrack no.12 was filled with women prisoners from Ukraine – hundreds of exhausted women and young girls, whose days were numbered.
Physical exhaustion did not allow the women to maintain moral stability and sound judgment. Suffering from both extreme hunger and hard labour, the inmates were often driven to madness. Everyone was waiting for the end to come – either death or some form of revenge!

In August 1944, with a fever of almost 40C, I was admitted to barrack no.10, the infamous Revier, the so-called camp "hospital". I was given a Bettkarte, a card allowing temporary exemption from work and the chance to lie in a proper bed in the camp infirmary. The wound on my throbbing head was dressed with a crepe paper bandage; I was also given some aspirin.
Two other women lay beside me, on the same mattress.
The first one, Valentyna Veres, lay completely naked on the straw mattress that reeked of mouldy dampness. Her glassy eyes stared into the distance; her yellow lips murmured some incomprehensible sounds.
The second woman, Katia Valko, lay motionless, with a piece of bed linen covering her head, sometimes laughing, sometimes wailing loudly.
The woman lying in the bed next to me turned and told me that my two bed mates were Ukrainian prisoners from barrack no.12. Everyone in the infirmary believed that the two had lost their mind…
I looked at their thin, emaciated faces and their feverish eyes; I shuddered, but lifted my head slowly and uttered a few words…
As soon as they heard my voice, their mouths twisted into a grimace… or maybe it was a happy smile? Then, they stretched out their gaunt arms…
Our food rations arrived – a thin gruel of potato leftovers, kohlrabi and a piece of bread. But, we were too weak to raise ourselves and indulge in these "fine treats". Weakened by illness, we lay motionless, as if frozen in our thoughts.
Lunch – a thin gruel of potato leftovers, kohlrabi and a piece of bread. Illustration: Olena Wityk-Wojtowycz
Suddenly, Katia tore away the dirty bandage from her face, and leaning over on her elbow, raised her head.
I stared at her in horror… One eye was a black, gaping hole, the other a brownish, rotting orbit that glanced around furtively. Katia looked at me, her good eye moist and pleading.
"I know… I look hideous, but I'm still alive!"
Why do they – those sadistic brutes – rob us of the very last human elements that we have and need for our bitter existence? So many thoughts run through my head as I try to focus on my sick friends. Then, I close my eyes and shake my head as if trying to escape from the other thoughts that assail me.
But, Katia's gaze pierces my heart and soul… She is indeed the embodiment of human folly!
Night is falling… the infirmary hums with noise and painful cries. All the beds are occupied by ageless human skeletons. Some inmates lift their heads, fragile skulls with abnormally sunken eyes. Yellowish, sagging skin, often covered with abscesses. Others cry out and talk loudly of their hunger, of death… trying vainly to liberate themselves from this nightmare; yet others lie silent, trapped within themselves.
These women, beaten by rubber truncheons and assaulted by fierce dogs, were forced to work twelve hours a day. These women now stand shaking and naked, waiting for the "doctor" to attend to their medical needs. They stand silently in one straight row, and if anyone moves even slightly or falls out of line, she is beaten mercilessly. Many of them are forced to lie on the bare floor, as the beds with straw mattresses are already occupied.
One straw mattress… for three sick women! The living often find themselves lying beside a dead sister, but they are too weak to get up and inform the "nurses". The stronger ones push the dead body away, thus claiming more space on the mattress. The body lands on the floor with a loud thud, catching the "nurse's" attention. The nurse curses angrily, and sets upon the "perpetrator", beating her mercilessly across the face. For this "misdemeanor", the woman is deprived of food and water for the entire day.
The doors to the so-called Waschraum (lavatory + washing area) stood near our wall. All the bodies were thrown inside, but among them, there were some that were still alive and breathing. However, they lay there, almost lifeless and indifferent to everything and everyone. Their pain and suffering were about to end. By the early morning, the Waschraum was crowded with dead and half-dead women, one body lying on top of the other. During the night, the rats had eaten off one side of their faces… through the half-open door we could see the naked bodies lying in the middle of debris, their arms hanging listlessly in despair.
I lift my head and glance through the door… the sweat streams from my forehead… perhaps the fever is finally subsiding. My parched lips long for a drop of water…
In the morning, the bodies are removed and taken to the crematorium… but, maybe, in this heap of naked bodies, someone's heart is still beating?!
Suddenly, a group of frightened "nurses" rushes into the room:
"Hurry, hurry, the doctors are on their way to inspect the infirmary!"
My two bed mates, Valentyna and Katia rise up slowly and look at me:
"This is the end!" they whisper through trembling lips.
We lower our heads; tears roll down our cheeks… silently dropping on the worn, stinking mattress…
Oberschwester (Head Nurse) Elisabeth Marschall. Photo: open source
Oberschwester (Head Nurse) Elisabeth Marschall strides into the room with a cohort of kapos and nurses. Naked, we struggle to stand upright so as not to raise suspicion and be labeled as "nicht mehr brauchbar" (no longer useful). I'm told that I can go back to work the next day. Three days of "treatment" are enough; you can now go back to barrack no.16! My face is hot and flushed, but I struggle not to show fear or protest.
Seeing the deathly pallor of my two bed mates and the threatening look on the Oberschwester's face, we all know what awaits them. We realize that the desire to live has bowed to the inevitable force of death.
The kapos seize Valentyna and Katia and throw them into the so-called "idioten Stube" (mad chamber), a tiny room for "psychotics and the mentally ill". No one has ever returned from there alive. The windows and doors are always shut, but we hear voices screaming, shouting, singing, laughing, crying… Everyone in the chamber is forced to stand; whoever falls to the ground stays there… and dies there, their bodies trampled by the women still standing. The thin line between death and life is completely blurred. Powerless rage takes over… often bordering on madness.
The women were dying, every hour, every day, every week… and in their stead came new slaves from the "liberated" lands of the so-called new Europe built by the Gestapo.
But, suffering and death did not frighten millions of Ukrainian brothers and sisters who continued their fight for freedom and justice. They will forever be remembered by future generations as the embodiment of true heroism.
Plan of Ravensbruck KZ. Photo: open source
Ravensbrück concentration camp was the only major Nazi concentration camp for women and also served as a training base for female SS supervisors. Some 3,500 women underwent training there. They then worked in Ravensbrück or were sent to other camps. The Ravensbrück camp was established in 1938 and liberated on April 29-30, 1945 by the Soviet Army. It is estimated that about 130,000 women were incarcerated at Ravensbrück. About 30,000 to 50,000 women died therein.
Elisabeth Marschall was born on May 24, 1886 and became a nurse in 1909. She rose to the rank of Oberschwester (Head Nurse) in the Revier (hospital) barracks at Ravensbrück, where she brutalized sick prisoners and took part in horrific experiments. She also played an active role in the selection process for the gas chamber; it is estimated that she handpicked over 800 women to be transported to Auschwitz and ultimately to their death.
Between December 5, 1946 and February 3, 1947, sixteen members of the camp staff were arrested and tried on charges of murder and brutality by a military court of British officers and lawyers in Hamburg, the British Zone. All were found guilty on February 3, 1947. Eleven were sentenced to hang, including five women – head nurse Elisabeth Marschall, Aufseherin (overseer) Greta Bösel, Oberaufseherin (senior overseer) Dorothea Binz and kapos Carmen Mory and Vera Salvequart.
41-year-old Carmen Mory cut her wrists during the night of April 9 with a razor blade that she had concealed in her shoe and thus escaped the noose. 27-year-old Dorothea Binz was hanged on May 2, 1947; 60-year-old Elisabeth Marschall and 39-year-old Greta Bösel were hanged on May 3, 1947. Vera Salvequart was executed on June 2, 1947. The executions were carried out in Hamelin Prison, Hamelin, a city in the German state of Lower Saxony.

Are NYCFC Or The Yankees Prepared To Bring Silverware To The Bronx In 2022?

While New York is loaded with historic major league sports teams, the Bronx boasts two: the most successful and the newest of the bunch. The New York Yankees are one of the most instantly recognizable sports brands in the world – despite the lack of baseball outside of North America and Japan – with more titles than the rest of New York's teams combined. New York City FC is the new kid in the Bronx, but already has a championship to their name.
The year of 2021 proved to be one of immensely differing fortunes for the Yankees and City FC. Still, each new season brings about a renewed sense of hope among the fans. Even though the 2022 campaigns are still some way out for the MLB and MLS, it's fair to say that both Bronx teams have the opportunity to be in contention for major honors.
New York Yankees can improve greatly in 2022
It was not a great season for the New York Yankees, with the final record of 92-70 being flattering. Eight games back of the AL East leaders (the Tampa Bay Rays), a superb win-streak through the summer enabled the Yankees to squeak into a wild card place. They went to the postseason as one of three representatives from their stacked division. Of course, the chance was not taken, bowing out to the Boston Red Sox in the ALWC.
Last season's troubles have only been exacerbated by the team's prolonged absence from the big show. Seeing the Red Sox win the World Series twice since 2009 has not helped. In fairness, we are still building many of the Baby Bombers brought in after the Yankees surprisingly turned into sellers a good half-a-decade ago. While unexpected backward steps were seen from many of the team's corps – which will hopefully return to form next season – it is clear what areas need to be improved to hopefully streamline the offseason approach.
We may be some way out from the start of the 2022 MLB season, but the experts are certainly expecting the Yankees to move forwards. By examining the odds of the best betting sites, we see that in the MLB outright market on LVBet, the Yankees are fourth in the running. At +1000, they're just behind the Toronto Blue Jays, Houston Astros, and LA Dodgers.
Favoritism towards the Yankees almost certainly stems from the team's offseason spending power, as well as the fact that a relatively poor season still netted a wild card place. At the top of the shortlist, it is Carlos Correa. The Yankees are desperate for a shortstop and have the clout to land the best available. Many assume that Correa is a lock by this point. Next up, address left field, and then – as has been heavily discussed for months – the Matt Olson trade talks.
If all of the pieces fall into place and the Yankees do manage to upgrade in the offseason, the likelihood of them reaching the big show will increase significantly. The team is strong already, and in a division, that's expected to see its other big names regress, the Yankees could be primed for a deep run in 2022.
New York City FC looking to repeat
It took a penalty shootout to decide the champions, but New York City FC managed to go all the way to the MLS Cup Final and bring the trophy back to the Bronx. Only established in 2013, NYCFC came into the season strangely devoid of former world-class talents imported from Europe. Instead, in manager Ronny Deila's second season, the team was transformed into a well-balanced unit that plays very nice soccer.
Now that they have enjoyed the ceremony to honor the champions, City FC is preparing for their second championship both in their history and in as many years. The main factors that are in favor of The Bronx Blues repeating their success are that they already play great soccer, have a young core, and look to have much of the same squad in 2022.
The likes of Valentín Castellanos, Keaton Parks, Thiago Andrade, and Talles Magno are all superb attacking talents and, at most, 23 years old. So, in theory, they can only improve and up their goal outputs. The Argentine striker finished the season as the team's top MLS scorer with 19 goals, but he certainly missed his fair share of chances. If he gets similar service and improves his finishing, he will blaze past the 25-goal mark.
Both Bronx teams look to be in a good place to compete at the highest-level next season, especially if the Yankees land the names that they're expected to and City FC keeps the core together.

Ма́я Влади́мировна Митке́вич (род. 30 апреля 1938, Архангельск) — советский и российский искусствовед, директор Архангельского музея изобразительных искусств (с 1965).

Заслуженный деятель искусств РСФСР, Почётный гражданин Архангельска (1999) и Архангельской области (2010).

Биография
Мая Миткевич родилась в Архангельске. После окончания Архангельского педагогического института им. М.В. Ломоносова, пришла на работу в Архангельского музея изобразительных искусств, с 1965 года возглавив его, став директором. За время работы Миткевич на посту руководителя, небольшой музей стал одним из крупнейших, художественных центров России.

Именно с деятельностью Маи Владимировны, связано появление в музее богатой коллекции произведений искусства, включающей в себя собрание отечественного искусства с XIV века до наших дней. Также, ей удалось сформировать в музее профессиональный творческий коллектив, где все научные сотрудники имеют высшее и специальное высшее образование. Коллекции музея в разные годы многократно экспонировались в музеях других городов СССР и России, в том числе в Москве, а также и за рубежом, что позволяло расширять межмузейные связи, популяризировать своё собрание.

Мая Миткевич является инициатором осуществления многих идей, способствовавших развитию музейного дела. Так, она была инициатором создания Архангельского государственного музея деревянного зодчества и народного искусства, который был открыт в 1973 году и в первые годы своего существования являлся филиалом Архангельского музея изобразительных искусств. Также, активное участие она принимала и в создании филиала Всероссийского художественного научно-реставрационного центра им. И.Э. Грабаря в Архангельске.

В 1994 году, в связи с финансовыми трудностями, музею было передано несколько памятников архитектуры в исторической части города, в результате чего в Архангельске появилась заповедная территория «Старый Архангельск». Основным идеологом и инициатором её создания стала Мая Миткевич. Именно благодаря её умелым действиям и настойчивости большинство переданных музею памятников культуры были отреставрированы, и в них были открыты собственные выставки и экспозиции. После присоединения к Архангельскому музею ИЗО ряда музеев, образованных в переданных ему памятниках архитектуры, было создано Государственное Музейное объединение «Художественная культура Русского Севера».

В 2000 году руководимый Миткевич Архангельский музей ИЗО по результатам конкурса газеты «Культура» «Окно в Россию» был объявлен музеем года.

Заслуги Маи Владимировны неоднократно отмечались местными, региональными и федеральными властями. В 2005 году она получила Орден Почёта, в 1999 году ей было присвоено звание Почётного гражданина Архангельска, а в 2010 году Миткевич стала первым в истории Почётным гражданином Архангельской области.

20 мая 2008 года за большой личный вклад в развитие и пропаганду художественной культуры Русского Севера она была избрана почётным членом Ломоносовского фонда.

С 2012 года Мая Миткевич также является членом Экспертно-аналитического совета при Губернаторе Архангельской области.

Награды и звания
 Орден «За заслуги в культуре и искусстве» (12 октября 2022 года) — за большой вклад в развитие отечественной культуры и искусства, многолетнюю плодотворную деятельность
 Орден Почёта (20 декабря 2004 года) — за многолетнюю плодотворную деятельность в области культуры и искусства

Ultrasound-triggered therapeutic microbubbles enhance the efficacy of cytotoxic drugs by increasing circulation and tumor drug accumulation and limiting bioavailability and toxicity in normal tissues

Most cancer patients receive chemotherapy at some stage of their treatment which makes improving the efficacy of cytotoxic drugs an ongoing and important goal. Despite large numbers of potent anti-cancer agents being developed, a major obstacle to clinical translation remains the inability to deliver therapeutic doses to a tumor without causing intolerable side effects. To address this problem, there has been intense interest in nanoformulations and targeted delivery to improve cancer outcomes. The aim of this work was to demonstrate how vascular endothelial growth factor receptor 2 (VEGFR2)-targeted, ultrasound-triggered delivery with therapeutic microbubbles (thMBs) could improve the therapeutic range of cytotoxic drugs. Methods: Using a microfluidic microbubble production platform, we generated thMBs comprising VEGFR2-targeted microbubbles with attached liposomal payloads for localised ultrasound-triggered delivery of irinotecan and SN38 in mouse models of colorectal cancer. Intravenous injection into tumor-bearing mice was used to examine targeting efficiency and tumor pharmacodynamics. High-frequency ultrasound and bioluminescent imaging were used to visualise microbubbles in real-time. Tandem mass spectrometry (LC-MS/MS) was used to quantitate intratumoral drug delivery and tissue biodistribution. Finally, 89Zr PET radiotracing was used to compare biodistribution and tumor accumulation of ultrasound-triggered SN38 thMBs with VEGFR2-targeted SN38 liposomes alone. Results: ThMBs specifically bound VEGFR2 in vitro and significantly improved tumor responses to low dose irinotecan and SN38 in human colorectal cancer xenografts. An ultrasound trigger was essential to achieve the selective effects of thMBs as without it, thMBs failed to extend intratumoral drug delivery or demonstrate enhanced tumor responses. Sensitive LC-MS/MS quantification of drugs and their metabolites demonstrated that thMBs extended drug exposure in tumors but limited exposure in healthy tissues, not exposed to ultrasound, by persistent encapsulation of drug prior to elimination. 89Zr PET radiotracing showed that the percentage injected dose in tumors achieved with thMBs was twice that of VEGFR2-targeted SN38 liposomes alone. Conclusions: thMBs provide a generic platform for the targeted, ultrasound-triggered delivery of cytotoxic drugs by enhancing tumor responses to low dose drug delivery via combined effects on circulation, tumor drug accumulation and exposure and altered metabolism in normal tissues.

Return to the Brand
It is the end of another year and I hope you were able to come out to Philmont to rekindle old memories, see friends from years past and visit the places that continue to stay fresh in your mind. The brand of Philmont is special and is there to remind us just how meaningful our time on staff was. As members of the PSA, we are so lucky to have two important things: a strong connection to the Ranch and a wonderful group of members. You are the reason why the PSA works hard year after year to publish the incredible magazine, High Country, offer treks, create events across the country, and keep the connection going.
When each of you worked at Philmont, whether in the backcountry, Camping Headquarters or PTC, you no doubt made friends that have enriched your life. I am always amazed when I see how strong the friendship bonds are between current and former staff.
It is all about relationships!
Thank you for being loyal members of the Philmont Staff Association, for supporting the organization with your gifts of friendship, service and money. It makes all the difference! I am proud to be associated with the PSA. It is a treasured part of my life. I hope each of you will return to the brand and keep the connection strong in 2018.

I always like it when someone new gets a chance to see Philmont. You can try to describe it, but until they walk among the pines, enjoy the cool mountain air and see the history first hand, they won't get "that feeling". Last year my two daughters came to the Ranch for the first time. You can tell by the smile on their faces that they were enjoying everything about the backcountry, in this case Beaubien.
As former staff members we know how special this place is. That is why I support the PSA and give of my time whenever possible. It just feels good to stay involved and continue the traditions of Philmont Scout Ranch. PSA is dependent on your contributions in order to operate throughout the year and offer former staff opportunities to come back HOmE – Treks, reunions, service projects, and much more.
Won't you join me and make your donation to the Annual Fund now? For those you have already given thank you! This year we need to raise $87,000 and with just two months to go we are working hard to reach our goal. Please help us close the gap!
Thank you and have a great rest of the year!!

Randy Saunders Resigns as PSA Executive Director
by jmurphy | Jan 15, 2016 | Announcements, Employment
An Open Letter to Members of the Philmont Staff Association
The Board of Directors of the Philmont Staff Association has accepted with regret the resignation of PSA Executive Director, Randy Saunders. Randy has been offered a position in Albuquerque, where his wife and family reside—and we understand the attraction of such a position. While the Board regrets the loss of such an outstanding and dedicated professional who has served us well since 2007, we support his family decision. Randy will remain with us through the month of January 2016 and Dollie O'Neill will serve as interim director of the association until the search is completed and a finalist selected.
Attached with this letter is a copy of the relevant section of the PSA By-Laws which defines the duties of the Executive Director. This is the job description which will guide the Personnel Committee, and eventually the Board of Directors, in selecting our next Executive Director. Salary is commensurate with comparable employment positions with the BSA. The Executive Director is expected to reside in the Philmont area. The committee has decided on the following timeline for that selection process:
Jan 15 Position is advertised online and in electronic mailing to PSA members.
Feb 15 Letters of application together with appropriate resume and list of not more than three references due to John Murphy at the address below.
Feb 15 Consideration of applications begins and continues until Mar 15.
Mar 16 Board of Directors meets by conference call to receive recommendations from Personnel Committee.
Mar 17 Announcement of next Executive Director.
Apr 16 New Executive Director begins duties at Ranch.
The Personnel Committee understands that extraordinary circumstances may warrant departure from this schedule, but it anticipates no such circumstances at the present time. Candidates, or persons who wish to nominate others for possible consideration, are therefore advised to be attentive to deadlines.
Applications should be directed to:
John Murphy, PSA
6647 Oak Hill Blvd.
Please join us in extending thanks to Randy for his distinguished service to Philmont and the PSA – and please help us locate the best possible person we can to succeed him in this important work.

Continually Humbled
Thanks so much for all of you who helped put us on the summit of our 2013 Annual Fund goal. And for those who supported us through the President's Circle–these two efforts provide the majority of our operational funds. Over the past six years of my Presidency, I have been continually humbled by the generosity of our members. Their willingness to donate time, talent and treasure is what makes the PSA the amazing organization it is–I am proud to be a part of it. Again, thanks for your support over the past six years–I look forward to helping John and his new board continue the successful operations we have come to expect from your PSA.
Jim Lynch
A Beautiful Way to End
It was a beautiful way to end 2013…by watching the generosity of PSA members as they answered the call for our Annual Fund. Many, many thanks to each of you and I am looking forward to more adventures in 2014 at the Ranch and at regional events across the country. Best wishes from your PSA officers and Board members.

After Parkland, Are Black Students' Voices Getting Lost In Latest Gun Violence Debate?
Are black students getting a voice in the gun violence debate, after the mass shooting that left 17 people dead in Parkland?
Law enforcement from Baltimore, Ferguson and Sanford gathered in North Florida this week for a conference on community policing. Following the high profile killings in those cities, some departments are transforming their officer training.
The Florida Bar Board of Governors is pushing back against the state's expert witness testimony law. The law determines what kind of scientific testimony can be brought before a court of law.
There's more work to do to help cool racial tensions in America. That's according to a recent nationwide survey commissioned by the National Bar Association.
George Zimmerman will not face federal civil rights charges in the shooting death of Trayvon Martin, and some state legislators, like Sen. Dwight Bullard (D-Miami), say they're not too happy about Tuesday's Justice Department's announcement.
A wrongful death lawsuit is the latest legal action the parents of a South Georgia teen found dead inside a gym mat have taken against the school administrators.
In January of last year, Kendrick Johnson's body was found by classmates inside of a rolled-up mat in Lowndes County High School gym.
Sheriff's investigators say the 17-year-old was the victim of a freak accident, but Johnson's parents maintain that's not the truth and they'll get justice for their son.
In just a few months, the Jacksonville woman who inspired the so-called "Warning Shot" bill is expected to have another trial. Several activist groups rallied at the Capitol Thursday, urging Governor Rick Scott to get rid of the lead State Attorney who's seeking a 60-year prison term in the re-trial of Marissa Alexander.
Is a measure aiming to tweak Florida's Stand Your Ground law dead this year? While some believe that effort is over, others—including the law's main author—don't seem to think so.
Last month, a proposal aimed at tweaking the controversial law began to move again, when it passed the Senate Criminal Justice Committee—the bill's second stop.
A bill aiming to repeal Stand Your Ground was rejected during an almost five-hour hearing Thursday.
Many spoke in favor and against repealing the law. Among those who testified during the House Criminal Justice Subcommittee meeting included the Dream Defenders and the National Rifle Association.
U.S. Senators Tuesday sparred on Capitol Hill over Florida's Stand Your Ground law. The Congressional hearing to review the law also included personal testimony from some affected by it.
"I appear before you because my son Jordan was shot and killed last November while sitting in the back seat of his friends car listening to loud music," said Lucia McBath.
The activist group Dream Defenders spent a month at the Capitol following George Zimmerman's acquittal in the death of Trayvon Martin. It's that action that's causing the Florida Department of Law Enforcement to want to amend security rules to ensure the seat of state government doesn't have to deal with visitors for such extended periods of time. The proposal says citizens risk arrest if they don't vacate the Capitol at five p.m. or thirty minutes after the adjournment of a public meeting. Dream Defender Director Phillip Agnew said that proposal violates taxpayers' rights.
Florida's Agency for Persons With Disabilities has won a lawsuit challenging its budgeting process. As Lynn Hatter reports, an administrative law judge this week upheld the legality of iBudget, and agency officials say it's time to move on.
If you can't afford a lawyer in Florida, as in the rest of the country, you get assigned one – often a public defender. But when public defenders go up against state attorneys, is it a fair fight? As Regan McCarthy reports, the amount of money spent by the state on each side of the ledger is anything but equal.
On the east side of Tallahassee Mall, just past the food court, stands a little urban clothing store called Top Fashion. It's a weekday morning and the mall is almost vacant. Store owner Bonnie Harsanyi mans the register while one of her employees restocks some of the store shelves. Bonnie's been in business in for about a year.
"It takes a year – just by now people are starting to know me. Got to know this town. You know, try to survive," Harsanyi said.
After building relationships with her customers they started to ask for a particular type of merchandise.
Join host Dr. Liz Holifield for "411 Teen", a locally produced program created with teen input for a teenage audience. Guests provide insights into topics that concern adolescents. This week 411 Teen tackles many dimensions of the Trayvon Martin saga, including issues of race and social justice.
A Democratic state senator is calling for state officials to pardon a Jacksonville woman sentenced to 20 years in prison for firing a gun in her husband's house. Miami Senator Dwight Bullard says Marissa Alexander's case highlights the need to repeal the state's Stand Your Ground law.
Protesters filed into Florida Governor Rick Scott's office Tuesday demanding to meet with him about the state's "Stand Your Ground" law. But, the governor wasn't in, and wouldn't be for the next three days. Demonstrators demanded Scott call a special session to review the controversial law that they say led to the acquittal of George Zimmerman, who says he shot Trayvon Martin in self-defense. The governor eventually met with the protesters late Thursday and reiterated what he said during a TV interview with Bloomberg News reporters on Monday.
Civil rights groups are petitioning Florida Governor Rick Scott to re-examine the state's criminal justice system in the wake of George Zimmerman's acquittal for killing Trayvon Martin.
Protesters filed into the Florida Capitol Tuesday sporting hoodies and signs that read "justice for Trayvon." When they were told Governor Scott wasn't in his office, they decided to wait for him anyway.
Police and community activists around Florida are preparing for the possibility of mass protests if George Zimmerman is acquitted of killing Trayvon Martin. Police are on standby as Zimmerman's trial closes and the jury gets the case.
For months, officials in the city of Sanford and across South Florida have been working with pastors and youth counselors to stress a non-violent approach if Zimmerman walks free. And police all over the state are joining in the effort.
Last week Governor Rick Scott's "Stand Your Ground" task force released its recommendations on the future of the law here in Florida. The group said the law should stay on the books, but suggests more education on what self-defense really means and stricter definitions for neighborhood watch groups. Although the suggestions didn't surprise many, the outcome doesn't spell the end for the issue.
In Florida, the mother of Trayvon Martin and Democratic lawmakers are calling for the repeal of the state's so-called "stand-your-ground" law. The bill to repeal the law comes nearly a year after neighborhood watch volunteer, George Zimmerman shot and killed the unarmed teen. Martin's mother, Sybrina Fulton, stood flanked by Democratic lawmakers who've filed legislation to throw out Florida's first-in-the-nation law that says people can use deadly force if they feel threatened.
In Florida, the mother of Trayvon Martin and Democratic lawmakers are calling for the repeal of the state's so-called "stand-your-ground" law. A bill to repeal the law comes nearly a year after neighborhood watch volunteer, George Zimmerman shot and killed the unarmed teen.
After February's fatal shooting of unarmed Florida teenager Trayvon Martin in Sanford, the state task force assembled to study the controversial Stand Your Ground self-defense law are continuing to gather public input.
The task force is considering what changes to recommend to the legislature after holding a workshop in West Palm Beach on Wednesday.
While he is sorry that Trayvon Martin ended up dead, George Zimmerman says he doesn't regret anything he did the evening of Feb. 26 and that it was "God's plan" that he would end up killing the unarmed 17-year-old.
"For me to second guess it or judge it" would be wrong, Zimmerman told Fox News Channel's Sean Hannity in a pre-recorded and edited interview broadcast Wednesday night.

Set-up of an instant payment task force of over 20 representatives of infrastructure service users from all over Europe with the mission to create a 2015 – 2018 roadmap for the delivery of an inter-PSP infrastructure solution at a pan-European level, and to elaborate a blueprint setting forth the high-level requirements.
EBA CLEARING puts its instant payment initiative on a fast track following a call for action issued by the Euro Retail Payments Board (ERPB). The ERPB had expressed the need for at least one pan-European instant payment solution for euro open to any payment service provider (PSP) in the European Union, and had invited the supply side to assess the issues related to the delivery of any such solution.
Review by EBA CLEARING of trends within the payments markets for improvement of existing payment systems.
Conclusion: the objective of meeting the demands for immediate processing on a 24/7/365 basis would benefit from a pan-European approach, and should be pursued collaboratively.


This thermometer is supplied with a three point traceable calibration certificate as recommended by the MHRA (medicines and healthcare products regulatory agency) Each thermometer comes indivudually numbered and certificated with dates and calibration results giving certified accuracy.
Digital max min fridge freezer thermometer with Max / Min feature and High / Low temperature alarm setting. Ideally suited to read temperatures in a fridge and freezer, and room temperature simultaneously via a single button operation. Includes magnet attachment and 2m probe cable.
This unit is shipped with a Traceable Calibration Certificate dated on the day of order.
The calibration is carried out to National Standards using UKAS Accredited Laboratory Certificated Equipment giving the Certificate a traceability route right back to the national laboratory.
* If unsure please check with your inspector as to suitability of this certificate and required temperature points.
We guarantee a Pass Rate of 0.5 Degrees on this item for all calibrations between -5 and 20 degrees centigrade. For other temperature points a standard pass rate of one degree will apply as per the thermometer specifications.
The calibration certificate was within 0.1oC so very pleased with it's performance.
It's small and minimalistic and with magnets on the back of the product, it's easy to stick to the fridge (if that's your intended use).
You can get two temperature readings; the probe and the unit itself which is useful for measuring inside the fridge and kitchen with one product.
It records Min and Max values so you can track how the temperature fluctuates in its environment (quite a lot in a fridge which I didn't realise). You can also set an alarm to peep when it goes outside a range that you can set.
My only negative is the 2m lead on the probe. If like me, it's mainly used on in the fridge then the length of lead is over kill and looks a bit messy as there is nowhere to store it. I guess it has it's uses for other applications however.
Can't say how it compares to others as this is the only one I have however for the price it does everything I need it to do and it does it well.
