Professional hand hygiene products are subjected to vigorous testing prior to being marketed and introduced for use in a healthcare setting. Now, a new ASTM International standard approved by Committee E35 on Pesticides, Antimicrobials and Alternative Control Agents describes the use of pigskin as an alternative to human hands in testing the efficacy of hand hygiene products in combating contamination.
ASTM E2897, Guide for Evaluation of the Effectiveness of Hand Hygiene Topical Antimicrobial Products Using Ex Vivo Porcine Skin, was developed by Subcommittee E35.15 on Antimicrobial Agents.
While testing hygiene products on human hands can be done, tests involving human volunteers can be expensive and are limited in the types of pathogens that can be used. According to Peter Karanja, a research and development scientist, STERIS Corp. and an E35 member, ASTM E2897 overcomes such limitations and offers the benefit of being applicable to a wide variety of hand-washing conditions.
ASTM E2897 will permit testing of pathogens that may be encountered in a healthcare environment but would not be tested on human subjects, says Karanja. It also permits testing of conditions that cannot be simulated in a test tube while offering less expensive and higher throughput screening hand hygiene products.
In addition to ASTM E2897, E35.15 is developing a related proposed standard, ASTM WK36911, Guide for Measuring the Inactivation of Persistent Activity of Topical Antimicrobial Products Using Ex Vivo Porcine Skin. This proposed guide will demonstrate the compatibility of topical antimicrobial products and the ability to maintain persistent activity exhibited by products used in a healthcare setting. Like ASTM E2897, ASTM WK36911 uses pigskin as a surrogate for human skin.
All interested parties are invited to participate in the development of E35.15 standards. For more information on becoming an ASTM member, visit www.astm.org/JOIN.

Q: Pass Unique-ids to Javascript for Horizontal Scrolling I am trying to develop an interface that scrolls horizontally similar to Netflix
.
Everything is displayed and works properly, BUT for some reason the Javascript only scrolls through the first Publisher's Books in the INDEX PAGE. And when I try to hover and scroll any other Publisher Books, it will only Horizontally Scroll the First Publishers Books.
I know I have #scroll appearing many times which is why the jQuery only sees the first one.
Does anyone know how I can pass a unique publisher_id or class so that it will work with all the publishers?
Models
class Publisher < ActiveRecord::Base

  has_many :characters
  has_many :books, :through => :characters

end

class Character < ActiveRecord::Base

  belongs_to :publisher
  has_many :books

end

class Book < ActiveRecord::Base

  belongs_to :character

end

Views
books.html.erb
  <%# This lists all the publishers %>

    <% @publishers.each do |publisher| %>

          ###renders all the books
          <%= render :partial => 'static_pages/books', :locals =>{:publisher => publisher} %>

    <% end %>

_books.html.erb
  ###How can I pass/use a unique ID or class to make this work?

        <% publisher.characters.sort_by{|character| character.created_at }.each do |character|%>
          <% character.books.each do |book| %>

              <%= link_to (image_tag book.photo(:small)),
                  publisher_character_book_issues_path(:publisher_id => publisher.id,
                  :character_id => character.id, :book_id => book.id ) %>

          <% end %>
        <% end %>

Javascript
$(function () {

    var scrollHandle = 0,
        scrollStep = 5,

        ###How can I pass/use a unique ID or class to make this work?
        parent = $(this).closest('.scroll-container');

    //Start the scrolling process
    $(".sliderButton").on("mouseenter", function () {
        var data = $(this).data('scrollModifier'),
            direction = parseInt(data, 10);

        $(this).addClass('active');

        startScrolling(direction, scrollStep, parent);
    });

    //Kill the scrolling
    $(".sliderButton").on("mouseleave", function () {
        stopScrolling();
        $(this).removeClass('active');
    });

    //Actual handling of the scrolling
    function startScrolling(modifier, step, parent) {
        if (scrollHandle === 0) {
            scrollHandle = setInterval(function () {
                var newOffset = parent.scrollLeft() + (scrollStep * modifier);

                parent.scrollLeft(newOffset);
            }, 10);
        }
    }

    function stopScrolling() {
        clearInterval(scrollHandle);
        scrollHandle = 0;
    }

});

CSS
.scroll-container {
  width:auto;
  height: 100%;
  background: transparent;
  overflow-y: hidden;
  overflow-x: scroll;
  -webkit-overflow-scrolling: touch;
  margin-top: 5px;
}

A: First, I would give the parent div a class like scroll-container.
Then, I would pass the parent div as an argument to startScrolling.
parent = $(this).closest('.scroll-container')
startScrolling(direction, scrollStep, parent)

Then, you have access to the parent and don't have to set it at the top of the js.
As an aside, if you're setting scrollStep at the top as a sort of configurable constant, you don't need to pass it in as an argument. startScrolling looks like it should work just fine without it.
As another aside, I could see startScrolling just taking one argument: the parent div. And the data-modifier could just live there instead of having to live in 2 places. And you could just get the modifier from the parent in the startScrolling function.
Update
$(function () {

    var scrollHandle = 0,
        scrollStep = 5;

    //Start the scrolling process
    $(".sliderButton").on("mouseenter", function () {
        var data = $(this).data('scrollModifier'),
            direction = parseInt(data, 10);

        $(this).addClass('active');
        parent = $(this).closest('.scroll-container');
        startScrolling(direction, scrollStep, parent);
    });

    //Kill the scrolling
    $(".sliderButton").on("mouseleave", function () {
        stopScrolling();
        $(this).removeClass('active');
    });

    //Actual handling of the scrolling
    function startScrolling(modifier, step, parent) {
        if (scrollHandle === 0) {
            scrollHandle = setInterval(function () {
                var newOffset = parent.scrollLeft() + (scrollStep * modifier);

                parent.scrollLeft(newOffset);
            }, 10);
        }
    }

    function stopScrolling() {
        clearInterval(scrollHandle);
        scrollHandle = 0;
    }

});

Renowned Writer John le Carré Dies Aged 89
Shaheer AnsariDecember 14, 20200 Comment084
British spy detective John le Carré died at the age of 89, after a short illness, his lawyer said.
The author of The Spy Who Came In From The Cold and Tinker, Tailor, Soldier, Spy died of pneumonia on Saturday.
'A Literary Giant'
Some writers paid him final and one last respect, and Stephen King called him "a great literary giant and a spirit of humanity".
Historian Robert Harris said Le Carré, "undisputed giant of English literature" who "defined the Cold War era and fearlessly spoke truth to power".
Booker Prize winner Margaret Atwood wrote on Twitter that his novels depicting the promoter George Smiley – described by Le Carré as a "cure" for James Bond – became "the key to understanding in the mid-20th century".
Historian and novelist Simon Sebag Montefiore described le Carré as "the titan of English literature" and said he was "heartbroken".
Jonny Geller, the author's agent, said he was "an undeniable giant of English literature" who described the Cold War era and spoke the truth fearlessly ".
"We will never see someone like him again," he said in a statement.
Mr Geller said he represented the novelist, whose real name is David Cornwell, for almost 15 years and "his loss will be felt by all book lovers, everyone interested in the human condition".
"We have lost a great deal of English literature, a wise, kind, funny and intelligent man. I have lost a friend, a mentor and an inspiration."
Family's Statement
A statement shared on behalf of the author's family said: "It is with great sadness that we have to confirm that David Cornwell – John le Carré – died of pneumonia last Saturday night after a short battle with illness.
"David is survived by his beloved wife of almost 50 years, Jane, and his sons Nicholas, Timothy, Stephen and Simon.
"We are all deeply saddened by his passing. We thank the excellent NHS team at Royal Cornwall Hospital in Truro for the care and compassion shown throughout his stay. We know they share our grief."
The statement said his death was not related to Covid-19.
Decades after the end of World War II in 1945, political tensions between the United States a.nd and the Soviet Union were ruled, along with their allies in the Western bloc and the Eastern bloc.
Both sides were armed with nuclear weapons, refusing to allow specific wars to take place because of the threat of total annihilation.
So until the collapse of the Soviet Union in 1991, hostility played a role in supporting regional conflicts known as proxy wars, propaganda campaigns, psychological warfare and espionage – creating the impetus for generations of novels and films.
Many of Le Carré's 25 works turned into films including The Constant Gardener, The Tailor of Panama and Tinker, Tailor, Soldier, Spy, and Night Manager became a successful BBC television series.
Smiley, his most famous character who first appeared in Call for the Dead, has been played by actors including Rupert Davies, Alec Guinness and Gary Oldman.
Oldman, who appeared in the 2011 film Tinker, Tailor, Soldier, Spy, said Le Carré was "a very great writer, a true 'owner' of a critical, adult, complex, and masculine novel".
Born David Cornwell in Poole, Dorset, in 1931, he wrote under the name John le Carré.
He studied at the University of Bern, Switzerland, and Oxford, before entering the field of intelligence.
After teaching at Eton for two years he joined the Foreign Office, and was originally based at the British Embassy in Bonn.
During his time there he worked in the intelligence records department, giving him access to insightful files on the operation of the secret service.
He also wrote his first novel, Call For The Dead, published in 1961.
This meant that the name of the pen was needed as foreign officials were not allowed to publish the books under their own name.
In 1963, his third novel, The Spy Who Came In From The Cold, brought him worldwide fame and allowed him to write in full.
Le Carré said his article was accepted by the secretaries because "concluding correctly if they were lazy" was a "fictional story from beginning to end" but said the country's media took a different view, deciding that the book was "not only true but a kind of revelation message from the other side".
His career as a spy ended in 1964 after his name was one of many given to the Soviet Union by a double lawyer, an incident that incited conspiracy in Tinker, Tailor, Soldier, Spy.
Two things stand out about this highly successful and successful writer.
First of all, his novels were the protagonist of the beautiful, subtle world of James Bond as portrayed by another author Ian Fleming.
Whether it was the sad reality of the hours waiting for the agent to return to West Berlin in The Spy Who Came in From the Cold, or the dark world of the Cold War MI6 he described in Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy, Carré untied the glitz to reveal a world of flawless characters, they are flawless.
Career Excellence
Le Carré, who spent a short time with MI6, published his first novel in the same year that the Berlin Wall came up: 1961.
But long after the end of the Cold War, decades later, he went on to write about the arms trade, Big Pharma and the so-called War on Terror.
On a few occasions I met him and he seemed genuinely amazed at his amazing success.
Le Carré turned down literary honours and a knighthood, saying in a 2017 US interview that he was "so suspicious of the literary world that I don't want its accolades".
"And least of all do I want to be called Commander of the British Empire or any other thing of the British Empire," he added, saying it was "emetic" or vomit-inducing.
He told CBS News' 60 Minutes: "I do not want to stand as a person of state honor and therefore I must somehow comply with the state, and I do not want to wear these weapons."
Le Carré described himself as "English to the core" but despised what he saw as an aggressive nationalist spirit behind Brexit.
"My England is the one that will see its place in the EU. The England that does not think it is trying to take us out of the EU, that is England I do not want to know," he said.

[ARCHIVED] Jackson County jury convicts Raytown man in 2017 murder of KC lawyer Thomas Pickert
A Jackson County jury today convicted a Raytown man in the 2017 murder of Kansas City lawyer Thomas Pickert in front of his residence, Jackson County Prosecutor Jean Peters Baker announced today.
David Jungerman, dob, 3/03/1938, was convicted of Murder 1st Degree and Armed Criminal Action.
According to court records, KCPD officers responded at about 8:07 a.m. on Oct. 25, 2017, to a Kansas City residence. They found the victim's body on the front walk. He had been shot once by a .17 caliber bullet. Before the shooting, the victim had obtained a jury verdict in the amount of $5.75 million against David Jungerman, of Raytown on behalf of his client. The day before the murder, Jungerman was served property liens by the Jackson County Sheriff's Office. The defendant owns a white van and told the media that no one used his van that day and that he had the only key to that van. A witness – a man walking his dog -- told police that he saw an older white man with grey hair standing behind an idling white van.
The fatal bullet, according to court records, was identified as a .17 caliber round, a relatively rare caliber. On March 8, 2018, a search warrant was obtained for the defendant's car. Under the passenger seat an unspent .17 caliber bullet was located. A witness told police that he had a conversation with Jungerman in March 2018. During that conversation, Police executed search warrants, according to court records, at the defendant's home and business. At his business, police found a print out from the Jackson County property tax database. It showed the victim's home address. An Olympus audio recorder with a recording was recovered. The first part of the recording captured a court hearing that the defendant attended in November 2017. But after the hearing, the recorder continued to run. Later, the defendant talked to his employee about a .17 caliber rifle and about killing the victim.
Jungerman will be sentenced on Nov. 18.
Assistant Prosecuting Attorneys Tim Dollar, Ben Cox and Lauren Whiston prosecuted the case on behalf of the state of Missouri.

Bible Stories in Stone
The Bible is often called "the greatest story ever told." But rarely—if ever—is it described as "a light read." Our appreciation of biblical stories can be hindered by archaic vocabulary, unfamiliar settings, and age-old references which we are far-removed from. It can be helpful, therefore, to have a guide through the Bible, an interpreter to offer clarity to an otherwise mystifying text.
For many, Adolf Land has been one such guide.
In 1957, Land started Pathway Thru the Bible—a massive, scripturally-inspired gallery of sculptures northeast of Joliet. Land put countless hours into bible study and supplemental research before attempting to interpret the stories through sculpture. Stone was the most common material used in rendering each scene; however, Land also used agates, seashells, petrified wood, and other materials for his creations. The pillars in "Solomon's Porch" were salvaged from a Red Lodge bank. The cast-iron stairs leading to "The Wisemen's Tower" are from the Steamship Josephine.
Land worked on Pathway Thru the Bible for more than two decades, in total creating thirty installations.
When he passed away in 1984, his wife, Helen, had difficulty maintaining the property on her own and found Rick and Verdine White to become its caretakers.
To this day, Pathway Thru the Bible is well-tended and free for visitors to explore. A pamphlet is available for self-guided tours, providing context for each of the installations.

I am a loyal Nokia customer. I have had the N95, N958gb, N8, E7, Lumia 800, Lumia 920 and have had to wait for Nokia to come back to meet what others were doing.
In the west we have bailed out Nokia otherwise it would have disappeared completely.
Yet when it comes to new handsets we are now being treated like second class citizens and get no promotion or availability.
The 1520 is available in lots of countries across the world but not in the UK in almost any stores. You can only get it online.
It is also only available in Black and White - no Red or Yellow!
On the UK Nokia website they have stopped promoting the 1520 and are now promoting the 1320 which is the lesser of the two.
The 1520 is still on the site but it is way down and there is nothing to draw your eye to it.
Still no availability of the 1520.
London Fashion Week - a killer promotion opportunity - No promotion.
There are NO posters for Nokia phones on any of the very many mobile phone shops in my locale.
If there are ever any promotional materials - the Nokia phone is mixed in with other (usually android) phones.
It is as if NOKIA do not WANT to sell phones OR services in the UK.
On the day it was announced I received an email for EE that they will be having the Galaxy S5 soon and that I should consider upgrading to it.
The Lumia 1520 was announced before November 2013 - still no promotion and EE have no date when they will have the phone.
It is as if Nokia simply do not care about us in the UK and are focussed exclusively on emerging markets.
If we in the west choose to move to Apple or Samsung (which is not a difficult choice) it will be a big problem for Nokia.
Love to get your thoughts on this.
It's a bit of a silent beast.........the only people who know about it are people who want it and go searching......i want it (in yellow) but am just slightly hesitant in pulling the trigger due to very little press here in the UK about it, makes me think nokia are not really interested in this model.
Are you a Nokia or Microsoft shareholder? Otherwise I don't understand why you care.
I walked into the 02 store and got a red 1520.
I asked in every mobile phone store I was passing for a month, but was always met with blank looks, best most could manage was a 1020, in the end I purchased online from Clove, was a little hesitant as it's a lot of money if you decide it's not for you.
Nokia seems to be coming out with a new model or two every week. I guess it's hard to keep up all the marketing efforts.
The challenge here is commitment.
competitors who do seem to have real confidence in their products.
The day the Galaxy S5 was announced I got an email from EE saying they were going to get it soon and that I should upgrade to it.
Strategicallly - this is a bad move.
Perhaps they just don't have as much money to market their phones as Samsung. By this logic, we should all buy only phones from the richest companies (i.e. Apple and Samsung).
Interesting - where do you see this 'quite good' promotion into the enterprise space. I am not questioning your comments I am just really interested as I have not seen these promotions.
Is there a zoom function on Nokia Lumia 928?

Gloria, Princess of Thurn and Taxis resides in one of the largest privately owned palaces in the world and is widely known as a successful businesswoman, globetrotter, motorbike lover and art collector but also as a portrait painter.
Next week she will present a new series of paintings in Berlin. Therefor she portrayed seven famous people such as fellow collector Christian Boros. The exhibition will be accompanied by a book called "The Seven Deadly Sins" which includes essays by the portrait subjects.
Larry's List spoke with her about the seven deadly sins and will report live from the opening next Thursday via Instagram.
Gloria Princess of Thurn and Taxis, you are not only a collector but also a painter. For those who don't know your portraits yet, could you please introduce your paintings and the idea behind them?
I am collecting contemporary art since almost 30 Years now and I always found it very difficult to commission portraits. Nobody likes to do it. Three years ago, I started painting portraits of my family and friends. Everybody seemed to be quite happy with the results. With this encouragement I went on doing mainly faces and now I am doing paintings of the whole body as well.
On the 30th of March you will present a new series of paintings at Galerie Robert Eberhardt in Berlin. Please tell us more about the exhibition and the accompanying book called "The Seven Deadly Sins".
This particular project is connected to a book that deals with "The Seven Deadly Sins". Seven famous people speak about one particular sin each. The famous art collector Christian Boros for example talks about greed. I painted each of the participantsof the book project, who are famous people from the art and cultural world.
The book will be presented at Galerie Eberhardt, which is located in Berlin and therefor the gallery also chose to show some other portraits that I did of Berlin-based celebrities.
The book also contains texts by collectors such as Christian Boros or famous club owner Rolf Eden. What can we expect? Which topics are these conversations dealing with?
The conversations talk about the particular sin the authors have picked. Rolf Eden talks about lust. That is quite appropriate don't you think? I hope Rolf will like the way I interpreted his face.
If you can't make it to the opening you can follow our live broadcast on Instagram.

Resonances, the latest documentary by award-winning director Tom Nitsch, pays tribute to the fascinating sound of the Bechstein pianos, gives glimpses of the C. Bechstein manufacture and features several great pianists.
Today, most upright and grand pianos are made in the Far East. What are the differences between the sound of these mass-produced instruments and that of a C. Bechstein? Which are the secrets of the Bechstein voice? What makes the German production site so unique? Tom Nitsch's documentary evokes the special relationships that arise between pianists and their instruments, presents the various production steps and underscores what makes every single C. Bechstein piano unique: the successful combination of exquisite traditional craftsmanship, high technology and state-of-the-art engineering.
Every single C. Bechstein grand is a unique instrument with a distinctive personality, just like the pianists who play them in concert halls around the world. The engineers, artists and concert technicians interviewed in the film highlight the expertise and wealth of emotions inherent in every C. Bechstein instrument. Great classical and jazz pianists speak passionately of their love for the Bechstein sound and explain its characteristics and advantages for professional musicians. They also talk about their lives and how they came to play the piano.
The exceptional C. Bechstein voice is omnipresent in the film, of course, as pianists play works by Bach and Liszt or do jazz improvisations. The documentary thus evidences that C. Bechstein is a legend deeply rooted in the European tradition, a brand that fascinates anyone who loves piano music. Resonances features interviews and performances by the following pianists: Saleem Ashkar, David & Götz, Pavel Gililov/Mischa Maisky, Ulrike Haage, Denys Proshayev/Nadia Mokhtari, Morten Schantz & Group, Serra Tavsanli, Haiou Zhang, Dudana Mazmanishvili.

est le septième fils de l'empereur du Japon Saga et le premier courtisan à recevoir le nom « Minamoto ». À l'origine nom honorifique donné à un certain nombre de courtisans sans relations entre eux par quelques empereurs différents, le clan Minamoto devient un clan familial intégré, l'un des plus importants et des plus puissants de toute l'histoire du Japon.

Makoto, aussi connu sous le nom Kitabe-daijin, est le frère de l'empereur Nimmyō, Minamoto no Tokiwa et Minamoto no Tōru. Il reçoit le nom « Minamoto » en 814.

Vers la fin de sa vie, en 866, la porte principale (Ōtemmon) du palais impérial est détruite par un incendie. Dans l'une des intrigues de cour les plus fameuses de l'époque de Heian, Makoto est accusé par son rival politique Tomo no Yoshio d'être à l'origine du sinistre. Cet incident est appelé « conspiration Ōtenmon » (応天門の変, Ōtemmon no Hen). Avec l'aide de ses puissantes relations à la cour, Makoto est en mesure de prouver son innocence. On découvre plus tard que Ban Tomo est lui-même l'auteur de l'incendie.

B. B. Warfield describes Calvinism as 'that sight of the majesty of God that pervades all of life and all of experience'. In particular as it relates to the doctrine of salvation its glad confession is summarized in those three pregnant words, God saves sinners. Now whenever we are confronted with great doctrinal statements in Holy Scripture, God does not leave us merely with the statement of doctrine. The end of God's truth set before the minds of God's people is that, understanding it, they might know its effect in their own personal experience. So the grand doctrinal themes of Ephesians, chapters 1, 2 and 3 are followed by the application of those doctrines to practical life and experience in Ephesians, chapters 4, 5 and 6. The end for which God gave his truth was not so much the instruction of our minds as the transformation of our lives. But a person cannot come directly to the life and experience, he must come immediately through the mind. And so God's truth is addressed to the understanding and the Spirit of God operates in the understanding as the Spirit of wisdom and knowledge. He does not illuminate the mind simply that the file drawers of the mental study may be crammed full of information. The end for which God instructs the mind is that he might transform the life.
II. In the second place, these doctrines will lead to the sane biblical pursuit of practical godliness.

Shipping firm keeps loading up on new real estate
Ryan Ori
This 235,781-square-foot in near O'Hare was completed last month.
Just weeks after deciding to move into a Lincoln Park office building, shipping firm C.H. Robinson Worldwide has agreed to take over a big warehouse near O'Hare International Airport.
Eden Prairie, Minn.-based C.H. Robinson said it leased all of a new 235,781-square-foot industrial at 333 Howard Ave. in Des Plaines for about seven years.
The company, which has about 2,000 employees in the area, in October confirmed plans to move in late 2018 to a 207,000-square-foot office building that Chicago developer Sterling Bay will build along the Chicago River in Lincoln Park. In that deal, about 1,000 employees are expected to move from a nearby facility in the Clybourn Corridor.
The new warehouse near O'Hare will be a major hub for North American and international freight consolidation for the company's Global Forwarding and North American Surface Transportation divisions, said C.H. Robinson spokesman Jeremy Berrington. Workers will move there from 42,000 square feet at 1475 E. Thorndale Ave. in Itasca and 106,000 square feet at 1800 Nichols Blvd. in Elk Grove Village, he said.
About 150 employees will work at the Des Plaines building, Berrington said. The company also hopes to hire more people there, he said, declining to say how many. Employees will move in sometime in the first half of 2016, Berrington said.
"Chicago is one of the most important markets in our global shipping network, thanks to its connectivity to Class I rail, ocean shipping, truck transportation, and one of the world's leading airports," Mike Short, president of the global forwarding division, said in a statement. "This move will enable our customers to have better access to these transportation options, and will position our company to build on our decade of rapid expansion in Chicago."
With $13.5 billion in revenue last year, C.H. Robinson is one of the largest logistics companies in the world and was ranked
No. 225 on the latest Fortune 500 list of largest companies.
The company's new warehouse was completed in October by Malvern, Pa.-based Liberty Property Trust, said Neal Driscoll, a vice president who is Liberty's city manager for the Chicago market.
Liberty began building the warehouse on speculation, or without a tenant signed up, in fall 2014 after tearing down a 290,000-square-foot warehouse there that had been used by Switzerland-based Alcon Laboratories. Liberty bought the property from Alcon for $7.84 million in June 2014.
Finding industrial space has become a lot harder for businesses as shipping, manufacturing and consumer spending has risen in recent years. The Chicago-area industrial vacancy rate remains near a 14-year low, at 7.3 percent during the third quarter, according to Seattle-based Colliers International. Around O'Hare, space was even tighter during the quarter, with vacancy below 5.5 percent.
A dearth of new Class A space created strong demand for the Howard Avenue warehouse, Driscoll said. With rents on the rise, land sites for warehouse development are selling for $16 to $17 per square foot, nearing the pre-recession peak level of $19 to $20, he said.
"It's extremely difficult to find sites," Driscoll said. "With land prices shooting back up to the same levels we saw pre-recession, that makes it very challenging, especially for long-term holders (of real estate) like Liberty."

Improvement by eicosanoids in cancer cachexia induced by LLC-IL6 transplantation
T. Ohira, K. Nishio, Y. Ohe, H. Arioka, M. Nishio, Y. Funayama, H. Ogasawara, M. Fukuda, Kazunaga Yazawa, H. Kato, N. Saijo*
Cachexia frequently occurs in the late stages of cancer, and is difficult to manage. We previously reported that interleukin-6 (IL-6) cDNA transfection into Lewis lung carcinoma (LLC-IL6) induced cachexia-like symptoms in C57BL/6 mice. This was thought to be a useful experimental model of cancer cachexia. We have examined the effects of two eicosanoids, docosahexaenoic acid (DHA) and eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA), in order to evaluate whether they could relieve cachexia. LLC-IL6-bearing animals were divided into three treatment groups receiving DHA, EPA or water as the control; 80-μl samples of these compounds (purity > 95%) were administered orally by catheter daily starting 7 days after tumor transplantation. Tumor growth curves were similar in the three groups. There were no differences in water or food intake in the three groups. However, body weight, a marker of cachexia, was significantly higher in treated mice than in the control group. Sixteen days after tumor transplantation, the mean body weight was 17.45 g (P < 0.05), 17.2 g and 16.41 g in the groups receiving DHA, EPA and water respectively. The eicosanoids did not affect serum levels of IL-6. Ubiquitination of muscle protein, a marker of proteolysis coupled to cachexia, was compared in LLC-IL6- and LLC-transplanted mice. The eicosanoids prevented the ubiquitination of approximately 180 kDa protein. These results suggest that eicosanoids may prevent the cachexia mediated by IL-6.

Advantage Australia as Smith stars
4th August 2019, 18:51 by Gareth Freeman
Australia's Steve Smith hit a second century at Egbaston to give the tourists the advantage in the first Ashes Test against England.
Smith's 144 in the first innings effectively kept the tourists in the contest and he reproduced those heroics in the second innings with a 142.
Matthew Wade also hit a century as he managed a knock of 110, while Travis Head hit 51 and James Pattison an unbeaten 47 as Australia declared on 487 - setting England a target of 398 to win.
England will have to bat out the final day if they are to avoid a defeat as chasing that total is all but impossible but the hosts did at least manage a solid start in their own second innings.
Openers Rory Burns and Jason Roy came through seven overs at the end of the day to close on 13-0.
Gareth Freeman is an experienced journalist who can offer in-depth knowledge on a host of sports, especially football, tennis, snooker and basketball.

C-reactive protein impairs the endothelial glycocalyx resulting in endothelial dysfunction
Sridevi Devaraj, Jung Mi Yun, Grete Adamson, Jose Galvez, Ishwarlal Jialal
AimsInflammation is pivotal in atherosclerosis and a key early step is endothelial dysfunction. C-reactive protein, the prototypic marker of inflammation, and cardiovascular risk marker have been shown to promote atherogenesis. Increased levels of C-reactive protein are associated with endothelial dysfunction. The glycocalyx decorates the luminal surface and affords critical protection of the endothelium. Thus, the aim of the study was to examine the effect of C-reactive protein on the endothelial glycocalyx.Methods and resultsHuman aortic endothelial cells (HAECs) were incubated with C-reactive protein at different concentrations (0, 12.5, 25, and 50 g/mL) with boiled C-reactive protein as a control. For in vivo experiments, human C-reactive protein was injected into rats and human serum albumin was used as a control. Endothelial glycocalyx thickness was examined by transmission electron microscopy. Hyaluronan (HA) was examined in the supernatant of HAECs and in plasma and surface expression of heparan sulfate (HS) was quantified. C-reactive protein dose-dependently increased HA release in vitro and in vivo (P < 0.01). Also, glycocalyx thickness was significantly decreased (P < 0.05). Western blotting for HS showed significant reduction in expression of HS, one of the main glycosaminoglycans in the glycocalyx, with C-reactive protein treatment. There was a significant positive correlation between HA release and monocyte-endothelial cell adhesion, plasminogen activator inhibitor-1, and intercellular adhesion molecule-1 release and a negative correlation with endothelial nitric oxide synthase activity.ConclusionCollectively, these data suggest that C-reactive protein impairs glycocalyx function, resulting in endothelial dysfunction.

The Japanese market is going to reel for at least a few days over the Tsunami and the now 9.0 earthquake. I am buying the ADR for NTT DoCoMo Inc, (DCM) the largest mobile phone provider in Japan. The networks are down in places, and emergency crews get first dibs on the working network up North, but it is operating all over the country and their data network, which is not under emergency order, is flying as an alternative in the areas where they have to stay off of voice lines. There will be some down quarters ahead, to be sure, with damage and the loss of so much, but, unlike their land-line counterpart at NTT, they will be able to see profits quicker, and their pre-earthquake outlook looks to be about the same. It would be a ho-hum stock had the market not sapped it yesterday, and this morning on the Nikkei. I spoke to Morningstar's analyst to get a read on the situation, and his update is on their analysis. It's a pretty good buy at current ADR prices as long as they stay under 20-21. I am researching other options and will keep you posted.

HOFCC Splitter Reboiler Cleaned in Record Time
Our client's refining and petrochemical facility is home to the world's largest high olefins fluid catalytic converter (HOFCC) unit. The HOFCC unit converts both heavy and light oils to gasoline and a wide range of other refined distillates. In addition, homo polypropylene (PP), block PP, and propylene oxide (PO), a raw material for urethane, are produced from propylene which is supplied from the HOFCC. The system was designed to only require one exchanger to operate the process while the second exchanger is utilized as a standby exchanger until the in-service exchanger loses efficiency, requiring operations to switch to the standby exchanger. Utilizing their on-site contractor, which provides 20,000 PSI and 40,000 PSI conventional hydro blasting methods, the client generally spends up to 60 days cleaning the once in-service exchanger while the standby exchanger is in-service. On some occurrences the client wasn't able to achieve 100% cleaning of all the tubes due to the amount of fouling and toughness of the accumulation resulting in the client having to take a complete unit shutdown because the exchangers did not provide enough heat transfer to run the process.
The client approached us to provide a solution that would reduce the total cleaning time normally required while achieving a level of cleanliness that would meet the requirement to enable them to perform IRIS Inspection. Due to the nature of the process, we proposed a two-step cleaning process solution. The first step would be to utilize the Hydrokinetics cleaning method to quickly unplug and remove the majority of scale and accumulation from the tubes followed by a rotating tube lance system to polish the tubes — ultimately providing a much faster turnover of the cleaning process.
The combination of the two cleaning methods resulted in an acceptable cleaning level that met the requirement for IRIS Inspection with no re-cleaning necessary — a first for the client that such level of cleanliness was achieved on the initial inspection — reducing the total cleaning time from an average of 56 days to just 10 days utilizing just one Hydrokinetics unit. Now that the cleaning can be performed in far less time than in the past; it has eliminated the occurrences that resulted in requiring the unit to completely shut down enabling the unit to switch in between exchangers as originally designed.

"Be Obsessed with your goals!" ~Matt Cable, CrossFit Athlete
Interview with Matt Cable, CrossFit Athlete, Competitor on NBC Titan Games
Tell us about your journey.
I started playing sports at a young age. I was a 5 sport athlete in high school and it transitioned in to me wrestling in college and playing arena football shortly after.
Life has thrown a few curve balls at me.
In 2014 I was diagnosed with AML leukemia which is a cancer of my bone marrow and I was immediately admitted into the hospital. Shortly after being admitted, I endured complete organ failure which should have taken my life. I was in coma and life support for 18 days, lost 60lbs...but then I woke up.
I felt like my journey had just begun.
I let nothing get in my way. I trained morning and night to get my speed and strength back.
I made the Warrior Games team in 2017 for team Air Force and won 3 Gold medals and a silver.
Shortly after the Warrior Games I got a call from NBC's The Titan Games and I competed on season 1. It was such an incredible experience.
A post shared by Matt Cable | 📺 NBC TITAN GAMES (@mattcable_)
After The Titan Games I got deployed over seas and 3 months later I found out my leukemia had returned and I had relapsed. I then got medically evacuated back to the states and began to get back into remission. Shortly after getting back into remission our next mission was a bone marrow transplant but before I received a transplant, I got very sick from the chemotherapy and I found myself back in the ICU and on life support fighting for my life.
I came through and I only knew of one thing to do and that was to fight, so that's what I did.
Through this entire process I had still remained in the gym almost daily. I finally had my bone marrow transplant and I've been in full remission 2 months now. It's been a blessing and that's what keeps me motivated each day.
What has been your main source of motivation?
My goal is to help as many people as I can overcome whatever obstacles lays in their path no matter how big and I will continue pushing my body to see where it can take me after this ones normal.
Describe your recovery strategies.
YOLKED is something that I believe every serious athlete should be taking. It increases the rate of protein synthesis and as an athlete we need that to repair our muscles so we can build them back up after we have broken them down. Recovery is the most important thing to building muscle.
I have beaten death multiple times and I have realized that life can be over in a blink of an eye. Do not waste it by doing something that you do not love.
Be obsessed with your goals!!
Favorite motivational quote.
Our greatest weakness is giving up...You gotta turn that off and always try just one more time.
YOLKED is a huge contributor with my recovery and my building of my muscles and I'm very excited to be a part of team YOLKED!!

Why Def Leppard Are Going Vegas
. (hennemusic) Def Leppard will host their first-ever Las Vegas residency in the spring of 2013. The band will be taking over the Hard Rock Hotel & Casino for an exclusive nine-show run entitled "VIVA Hysteria!", and will perform their iconic album, "Hysteria," in full, in addition to a greatest hits segment.
The shows will run from March 22 through April 10, 2013 at the Hard Rock Casino's venue The Joint.
In a new interview with Vegas.com, Leppard guitarist Phil Collen was asked what prompted the group to do the Vegas residency.
"A lot of other bands do this stuff, but I think it's a little bit more special because 'Hysteria' was one of the diamond albums, especially in this day and age there are not that many albums that achieve that kind of status," said Collen. "That's why it's so important to us, it's such a big selling album. It's a challenge as well. We've never actually done that before. We've always said, yeah, we could do 'High 'n' Dry.' 'Hysteria,' that's a lot more challenging. A lot of the songs on there are hard to sing and play at the same time." more on this story

Complete Runner strives to keep current with the latest developments in running shoe technology to offer our customers the best running products on the market. After some research and many phone calls with the inventor we are pleased to now offer the currexSole insole by Currex, an insole made specifically for running shoes!
The insole that typically comes in a running shoe is thin and flimsy. If you have your running shoes nearby take one of the insoles out and you will see what we are talking about. Not much in terms of cushion or support.
There are many insoles you can purchase for your shoes. In fact, we sell some of those here at the store. However, these insoles may offer different types for different uses, such as active living and casual wear but not specifically for running. In comparison, the currexSole is the only insole on the market that is specifically designed for running shoes!
As we mentioned we only sell the most technologically advanced and innovative products at Complete Runner, so it was a no brainer for us to start offering these insoles as they were voted the Best Running Insole by Running Fitness Magazine.
The currexSoles take into account the three major foot types including high, medium, and low arch. All you need to do is stand on the Footdisc and it will determine your foot type and shoe size within a few seconds. After this we will ask you to stand with your feet together so we check your leg axis for bow-legs, straight legs, or knock-knees. Finally, our expert staff will connect the dots to determine your custom fitted insole!
We invite you to join the satisfied local runners who use currexSole insoles for added comfort, support, and cushion in their running shoes. Stop by Complete Runner and try the difference for yourself.
