Comstock Resources, Inc. Revises Fourth Quarter and Annual 2014 Financial Results
COMSTOCK RESOURCES, INC. REVISES
FOURTH QUARTER AND ANNUAL 2014
FRISCO, TEXAS, February 24, 2015 - Comstock Resources, Inc. ("Comstock" or the "Company") (NYSE: CRK) today reported revised financial results for the quarter and year ended December 31, 2014.
Financial Results for the Three Months and Year ended December 31, 2014
Comstock revised the loss it previously announced to $58.3 million or $1.26 per share for the three months ended December 31, 2014. The revised loss is due to reporting a lower income tax benefit of $26.1 million as compared to the previously announced benefit of $29.3 million. The reduced tax benefit gives effect to recognizing that a portion of certain state net operating loss carryforwards are not expected to be able to be utilized before their expiration. The previously reported net loss excluding unusual items remains unchanged at $8.7 million (19¢ per share) in 2014's fourth quarter. For the year ended December 31, 2014, Comstock revised the net loss to $57.1 million, or $1.24 per share. The year-end 2014 results excluding unusual items remains unchanged at a loss of $1.7 million (5¢ per share).
Comstock also announced that one of the financial covenants in its bank credit facility was recently amended such that the maximum ratio of total debt to EBITDAX was increased from 4:1 to 5:1 for 2015. The Company expects to be in compliance with its bank credit facility financial covenants throughout 2015.

CD Bioparticles is a leading manufacturer and supplier of various drug delivery products, including metal nanostructures, biomacromolecules, synthetic polymer and biopolymers and lipid system, for R&D and commercialization in a variety of application areas. We also have developed mature technology platforms for drug delivery, such as inorganic nanomaterials, biomacromolecules, polymeric and lipid system. In addition, we can offer a wide range of custom services including drug delivery nanoparticles formulation, bioparticles analysis and characterization, and drug targeting strategy. We are dedicated to providing the most comprehensive list of products and fit-for-purpose custom analysis and synthesis services to academia as well as industrial researchers and assay developers all around the world.
Vasodilators, statins, and thrombolytic drugs are often directly delivered into the bloodstream to treat cardiovascular disease (CVD). However, these drugs may cause systemic toxicity problems. So, people have paid more attention to nanotechnology-based approaches which could offer a route to deliver formulations (e.g. therapeutic agents) stably and bypass their detrimental systemic side effects. The main goals of nanoparticle drug delivery system are to improve the safety and efficacy by passive or active targeted delivery and to improve the solubility of drug candidates.
Nanoparticles in Cardiovascular Disease Treatment
According to the WHO data, cardiovascular diseases are the main cause of death all over the world. 17.7 million people died of CVDs in 2015 and this figure may increase to 23.6 million in 2030. CVDs consist of coronary heart disease, deep vein thrombosis, pulmonary embolism, myocardial infarction (MI), etc. Although all these diseases could result in ischemia and tissue death, MI and heart failure are still the No.1 cause of mortality. For the past two decades, a number of nanotechnologies have been developed for biomedicine to treat CVDs, including liposomes, nanoparticles, micelles, and dendrimers. In addition to cardiovascular medicine, the therapeutic applications of nanotechnology within medicine are also focused on cancer treatment and diagnosis and antimicrobial resistance.
Liposomes
Liposomes are 50-200 nm in size and form phospholipid bilayer structures within which encapsulate aqueous cores. Because they simultaneously have characteristics of hydrophilicity and hydrophobicity, liposomes are ideal for effective drug delivery systems (Figure 1). According to the size and number of bilayers, liposomes can be classified into three types: small unilamellar vesicles (SUV) with a single lipid bilayer; large unilamellar vesicles (LUV); multilamellar vesicles (MLV) with numerous bilayers. Generally, variable size, preparation method, surface charge, and lipid composition are all factors influencing the performance of liposomes. As observed in other liposomal drug delivery applications, the use of liposomes has some disadvantages. There is limited long-term stability of liposome drug delivery system, thus leading to premature drug release. Moreover, this system is usually more expensive and less effective than polymer-based systems due to the increased excipient-to-drug ratios.
Figure 1. The real-time thrombolysis results of the cyclic RGD (cRGD) liposomes encapsulating urokinase in mouse mesenteric vessels. The images were taken at time 0 min, 5 min, 10 min, 20 min, 30 min and 40 min post the formation of thrombus. The reduction of thrombus size for saline, free urokinase and the cRGD urokinase liposomes respectively. The thrombus size was defined as or equaled to the area of TRITC fluorescent signals analyzed by a digital image analyzing software. The thrombus size at time 0 min was set as 100%. The experiments were repeated 5 times and the results were represented as mean ± standard deviation (SD). Student's T test was used to compare the difference between group free urokinase (100 U/g) and cRGD urokinase liposomes (100 U/g). *P < 0.05, **P < 0.01. (Zhang, N., et al. (2018). Cyclic RGD functionalized liposomes encapsulating urokinase for thrombolysis. Acta Biomaterialia, 70, 227–236)
Polymeric Nanoparticles
Polymeric nanoparticles are manipulable materials and have the potential of reabsorption in the body, which makes them attract more researchers' attention in the nanomedicine field. The site of action and the choice of minimally invasive method to get them into systemic circulation determine the delivery route of polymeric nanoparticles. Although intravenous injection is most commonly used, oral, mucosal, dermal, or transdermal route are available to deliver polymeric nanoparticles as well. In addition, polymer-based systems are more cost-effective and easier to produce and scale up than liposomes with long stability profiles. However, researchers have found chronic toxicity in many non-biodegradable polymeric materials including poly(methyl methacrylate) (PMMA), poly(acrylamide), poly(styrene), and poly(acrylates). So, they have changed their focus of drug delivery system to studying biodegradable polymers such as poly(lactide) (PLA), poly(lactide-co-glycolide) copolymers (PLGA), and poly(ε-caprolactone) (PCL).
Gelated nanoparticles are the least common polymer-based particles. With increased polymer concentration, these nanoparticles incorporated with drugs could form into hydrogel matrices. These systems are with better long-term stability and available for longer retardation of drug release. Oh, et al. found that the MI group and the NP group showed decreased systolic and diastolic functions. Moreover, the VEGF+NP group and the VEGF+NP/ GEL group showed a significantly increased cardiac function. A more significant improvement was observed in the VEGF+NP/GEL group. However, the VEGF+NP/GEL group didn't show the improvement in the arterial elastance (Figure 2).

SHAM: a sham operation group; MI: a myocardial infarction group; NP: a group injected with core/shell nanoparticles without any VEGF (vascular endothelial growth factor); VEGF: a group injected with 5 μg of soluble VEGF; VEGF+NP: a group injected with core/shell nanoparticles loaded with the VEGF (5 μg); VEGF+NP/GEL: a group injected with gel composed of the VEGF-loaded core/shell nanoparticles. (Oh, K. S., et al. (2010). Temperature-induced gel formation of core/shell nanoparticles for the regeneration of ischemic heart. Journal of Controlled Release, 146(2), 207–211)
Micelles
Micelles are composed of lipids and other amphiphilic artificial molecules (e.g. polymers). In aqueous solution, micelles are self-assembling to form a monolayer with a hydrophobic phase inside, which makes them appropriate to incorporate hydrophobic therapeutic agents. Compare to liposomes, micelles are usually 10-100 nm in diameter and more controllable to add targeting ligands or tracking molecules. Moreover, micelles may be with lower systemic toxicity and are more cost-effective.
The dendrimers are multibranched, three-dimensional architecture, and are coupled with low polydispersity and great functionality. Compared to other nanotechnologies, dendrimers are appropriate for delivery of non-viral vectors for therapeutic indications due to their high solubility, greater stability, minimal immunogenicity, and ability to facilitate effective delivery of drug molecules, DNA, and RNAs. One drawback to dendrimers is that they usually have either highly cationic or highly anionic, which may lead to toxicity problems.
Nanoparticles for Cardiovascular Disease Diagnostic Imaging
Nanoparticles have high potential in medical imaging because of their good bioavailability profiles, the versatility of use, and ease of manipulation. Meanwhile, nanoparticles are with adaptable qualities which allow for generating multimodal and multifunctional imaging vehicles with modifiable features. Researchers can integrate contrast materials, ligands, and functional groups to nanoparticles. For example, gold nanoparticles show great promise in both cardiovascular medicine and oncology imaging. They can be excreted by the kidney. When attaching PEG chains to the nanoparticle surface, the elimination rate of gold nanoparticles through glomerular filtration can be modified and the circulation time and hydrophilicity of these particles will be increased too.
Toxicity of Nanoparticles
Although the utilization of nanoparticles has many advantages in increasing the efficacy of CVD treatment, it is important to fully study cytotoxic effects when using these nanoparticles. Because nanoparticles are mobile in circulation throughout the patient's body and thus the toxicity cannot be ignored. Recent researches have indicated that when applying different varieties of nanoparticles to the cardiovascular system, specific cytotoxic effects will occur. For instance, Nemmar, et al. found that ultra-small superparamagnetic iron oxide nanoparticles (USPIO) (composed of magnetite Fe3O4 and <1.0% stabilizing ligands of poly ethylene glycol) have adverse effects on myocardium including thrombotic response in vivo, platelet aggregation in vitro with whole blood, DNA damage, and increase of cardiac oxidative stress. So, before the wide-spread use of Fe-based nanoparticles, it's vital to carefully study their impact on patient's health and the environment through the lifetime.

This trip started in Paris (our first time!) then went to Monte Carlo by train. Flew out of Nice to Venice. From there we took the Eurostar to Rome. Then Naples, Pompei, Positano, all down the Amalfi coast to beautiful Sorrento.
And now, we have spent our first two nights in the charming historic village of Tropea, Calabria. DEADLY SWITCH, the first book in my Stone Suspense series has been out for a year and I am only just now visiting the place where it is partially set. The greatest compliment I continue to receive from readers is that they could tell I'd been there—that they could smell and taste and feel the authenticity. But I hadn't been there, not until now!
The photo on this Postcard from the Edge is the EXACT location I've written about here and was situated right around the corner from our apartment!
I'D LOVE TO HEAR FROM YOU: Have you been to Italy; if so where and what did you like best about it?

Q: How to make files created by a specific user to have specific permissions by default Here's a sequence of commands and the resulting output:
$ touch testfile
$ stat -c'%a %A' testfile
644 -rw-r--r--

What must I do so that when a user follows that sequence, I get this output instead:
664 -rw-rw-r--

A: POSIX defines the utility umask which sets the file mode creation mask, either for the current instance (without subshells), or for every newly invoked shell (over .bash_profile, .bashrc, etc.).
Show the currently set mask in octal or symbolic form:
$ umask
0022
$ umask -S
u=rwx,g=rwx,o=rx

The octal numbers indicate the values which are getting removed from the full access:
$ umask 0002     # or: umask g+w
$ touch testfile
$ stat -c'%a %A' testfile
664 -rw-rw-r--

A: You need to set the umask for that user to 0002.  Right now, it's probably 0022.  You can define it in your ~/.bash_profile with 'umask 0002'.

A: Under bash, umask sets the file-creation mask. With umask 002 you get the permissions you want. You can put this in .bash_profile locally or globally.

Q: Is it possible to use inversion to solve this USAMO problem in 2007? I've no previous experience to solve any problems by inversive geometry but I am willing to see how it works. But I think I know some of the basic definition about inversion in geometry. Also I expect to see you to simplify the solution by inversive geometry simply because the solution is the link provide is unreadale and I would like to see if inversion really help to write a concise proof. Thanks in advance! Here is the problem:
Let $ABC$ be an acute triangle with $\omega$, $\Omega$, and $R$ being its incircle, circumcircle, and circumradius, respectively.  Circle $\omega_A$ is tangent internally to $\Omega$ at $A$ and tangent externally to $\omega$.  Circle $\Omega_A$ is tangent internally to $\Omega$ at $A$ and tangent internally to $\omega$.  Let $P_A$ and $Q_A$ denote the centers of $\omega_A$ and $\Omega_A$, respectively.  Define points $P_B$, $Q_B$, $P_C$, $Q_C$ analogously.  Prove that
$$8P_AQ_A \cdot P_BQ_B \cdot P_CQ_C \le R^3$$
with equality if and only if triangle $ABC$ is equilateral triangle. Is there anyone could help me with this, this have asked for 36 hours ago?
reference: http://www.artofproblemsolving.com/Wiki/index.php/2007_USAMO_Problems/Problem_6
Is there any easier way to do this since all the USAMO problem i have seen except this one could be finish with just one or two theorems or have very short solution. For example, this can be done without angle chasing but is just a consquence of miquel point thorem:
Could you use Miquel point theorem to continue this solution on a USAMO problem?


Easter is such a fab time of the year - the weather has cooled down, but it's still gorgeous outdoors, the older kids get to enjoy school holidays and it seems less frantic and more relaxed than Christmas.
So in an attempt to curve the chocolate bingeing this year, we've come up with a list of Easter gift ideas that you can pop in their basket or (subtly) suggest to friends and family. We guarantee the kids will love them just as much as chocolate!
Instead of a gift, why not suggest to Nan and Pop that they take the kids to something fun - it could be the movies, sushi, bike riding, road trip or a sleepover. The kids will have a great time and you and your partner get a few hours alone!

Cut down doing the job he loved
Published by The Mail on Sunday (15th November, 2015)
It is hard to think of anyone further removed from the fanaticism and hatred of Islamist killers than Nick Alexander, who was working at the Bataclan theatre when the gunmen slaughtered scores of music fans.
The 36-year-old was selling merchandise for the band playing at the venue, just as he sold merchandise for Africa Express – the music project I founded with Blur's Damon Albarn – on our train tour across Britain as part of the 2012 London Olympics.
Nick was a sweet-natured guy, a rock music fan with a ready grin whose relaxed and chatty nature won over pretty much all of the 90-odd artists from Africa, America and Europe who joined us on the trip.
We spent a week together trundling on an old train around the country, playing pop-up shows in schools and community centres during the day and then four-hour collaborative concerts in Middlesbrough, Glasgow, Cardiff, Bristol and London.
Nick threw himself into the venture with a big smile on his face as artists rehearsed in the on-board studio. He then ensured the merchandising of T-shirts, mugs, posters and bags passed off each night without fuss.
One after another, musicians wandered over to his stall before returning clutching a T-shirt and saying what a nice chat they had just had with 'the lovely merch man'.
In Bristol, where we played in a packed big top, he let the eight-year-old niece of another crew member stand throughout the show on his table – typical of his generosity.
At the end of the tour, after a five-hour concert in King's Cross featuring the likes of Baaba Maal and Paul McCartney, Nick came over to say thanks for letting him join a joyful event. Yet he played a key role in ensuring its good spirits.
Last night, Damon Albarn told me he was shocked by the news: 'Nick's death is immensely sad. The fact that he seems to have given his life to save another will be a lasting testament to what a lovely guy he was.'
This is the second time I have lost someone in my world to Islamist terrorists; the last being in the 2005 London bombings.
Driven by hatred of modernity, these zealots seek to frighten society and sow divisions. Africa Express – which played in front of Paris city hall for 25,000 fans – was founded to do the precise opposite: to foster a spirit of collaboration and unity.
These were the things challenged by the killers when they attacked people – from all faiths and none – enjoying a Friday night out with food, drink, music and laughter.
For the sake of Nick and all the other victims, we must not lose our humanity in fighting back.
Victim support charity chief 'took armed gang to settle land dispute'
A grotesque corruption of compassion
Cameron must now embrace the spirit of the Games

Evaluation of the CHNRI Process for Setting Health Research Priorities
Yoshida, S; (2019) Evaluation of the CHNRI Process for Setting Health Research Priorities. PhD thesis, London School of Hygiene & Tropical Medicine. DOI: https://doi.org/10.17037/PUBS.04653482
Background: The Child Health Nutrition Research Initiative (CHNRI) method is a tool used in health research prioritisation (RP). Though the method is widely used, inherent challenges remain: the method may be affected by on-going research where self-selected participants have personal interests; no evidence-based guidelines exist on the sample size of the expert group; and little evaluation has been conducted on the quality and impact of the method. This PhD presents an example of the application of the method, studies these inherent challenges, and assesses the quality and impact of previously conducted CHNRI exercises. Methods: The methods include a comprehensive review of RP approaches published between 2000 and 2014; coordination of two global RP exercises; statistical analyses of previously conducted CHNRI exercises; and assessment of the quality of method's application using an evaluation framework and a survey. Results: Approximately one in four RP exercises used the CHNRI method between 2000 and 2014. In the previously conducted CHRNI exercises, substantial potential for self-selection bias was noted. Statistical analyses identifying a minimum sample size of experts yielded varied results across different CHNRI exercises. The evaluation of the quality of the process identified that the CHNRI exercises met most of the requirements to be qualified as good practice. Conclusion: To my knowledge, this is a first attempt to evaluate some key components of the CHNRI method. The varied results in the sample size analyses prevented any recommendation being made at this point. Many RP exercises end once the priorities are identified, without assessing whether the RP exercise is effective in mobilizing funds for identified priorities. Future RP exercises should add a follow up at a later time point to assess whether funding has been allocated and if so, how much funding has been allocated to priority areas.

Narodna knjižnica Srbije osnovana je 1832. u knjižari Gligorija Vozarovića. Inicijalni fond činili su pokloni Vozarevića i drugih srpskih kulturnih poslanika. Knez Miloš je naredio da se jedan primjerak od svake tiskane knjige ustupi ovoj knjižnici. Tako je ustanovljena institucija obaveznoga primjerka.

Zgrada knjižnice pogođena je 6. travnja 1941. prilikom njemačkog bombardiranja Beograda i veliki dio knjižnog fonda je tada uništen. Postojeća zgrada Narodne knjižnice na Vračaru izgrađena je 1973. godine. Zgradu je projektirao arhitekt Ivo Kurtović.

Button: Adapting to '17 car 'a bit of a struggle'
McLaren's Jenson Button was back in a Formula 1 car on Thursday for the first time since his 'swansong' race in Abu Dhabi last November – and he admitted that getting to grips with 2017's wider, faster machinery was no easy task.
When I did the install lap this morning, I had a little giggle to myself
"I've really enjoyed practice, both the long and short runs," said Button, who is making a one-off return for the team while Fernando Alonso contests the Indianapolis 500.
"FP2 was a bit of a struggle to really find my feet with the car. I'm braking so much later than what I'm used to here and carrying so much speed into the corners. Adjusting to that takes time."
Despite his concerns, Button ended the day an encouraging 12th fastest, less than tenth of a second behind rookie team mate Stoffel Vandoorne.
"With another day with the engineers and a look through the data, I'm confident that I can improve for Saturday, he added.
Button, who took pole and won in Monaco in 2009 en route to his drivers' title with Brawn, confessed that although he hasn't exactly been pining to get back in an F1 cockpit, he relished the challenge of the new cars.
"It was funny when I did the install lap this morning, I had a little giggle to myself. Have I missed it? No, but when you jump in the car, you definitely enjoy the moments that you have.
"As soon as I exited the pits, everything felt very natural. The weirdest thing is when you're behind a car or when you let a car past, because you look at it and it's gigantic. Then you feel really uncomfortable because you think, maybe I am too close to the barriers. But the car fits well; it fits like a glove."
McLaren boss Eric Boullier was quick to praise Button's efforts, saying: "He judged the day very well, typically playing himself in gently during FP1 before starting to explore the increased grip and performance of these 2017 cars in the afternoon. After FP2, he admitted that he'd had a lot of fun in the car today, and I think that translated directly into his lap-times."
Even with his strong showing on Thursday, however, Button refused to be drawn into any predictions for qualifying or the race in Monte Carlo.
"I haven't really thought about where I hope to finish," said the Briton, who resides in Monaco. "It's a very mixed-up grid at the moment which I'm sure will all change again on Saturday.
"I don't expect to be one tenth off the Mercedes cars in qualifying, but the guys understand where I'm coming from. They know what they need to do to improve the car to suit me a little bit more and to give me a little bit more confidence. Hopefully we'll see a step in performance on Saturday."

PHILADELPHIA – Back in the day, it was an expensive car. Only people with money could afford to spend $10,000 to drive it home.
Today, it's valued at more than $200,000.
"Back in the day" was 1937. The car: a 1937 E.L. Cord 812 Supercharged Phaeton.
Why was it so expensive? Its engineers could see the future of automobiles.
The Phaeton was sleek, elegant, polished black and shone like a new pair of leather shoes. The car had hidden headlights and a "coffin nose," as collectors call it, without an exposed radiator shell.
The driver's seat was within easy reach of a column-mounted "preselector" transmission that predated fully automatic transmissions. In 1937, fully automatic transmissions were still a few years away for the rest of the car-buying public.
The Schwitzer-Cummins supercharger put a pounce in the Phaeton's ride, hitched to a Lycoming-supplied 4.7-liter V-8 that could dish out 170 horsepower.
"I am fascinated by the early car engineering with the Phaeton," said Michael C. Stinson, a certified agent with Auto Appraisal Group Inc. and a volunteer, from the Delaware Valley region, at the Antique Automobile Club of America's display.
The Phaeton was prominent in the Auto Show Marketplace location of the Philadelphia Auto Show at the Pennsylvania Convention Center.
About 3,000 of the "Cords" were produced in 1937 before production ceased. In 1929, the E.L. Cord namesake joined with the Auburn and Duesenberg brands.
Reading Eagle: Andy Andrews | Ed Aharonian, director of promotions for the Classic Auto Mall in Caernarvon Township, with a 1964 Shelby 289 Cobra CSX 2133, asking price of $950,000, at the Philadelphia Auto Show.
In the same vicinity at the auto show stood, prominently displayed, a 1964 Shelby 289 Cobra CSX 2133 in the showcase area for Classic Auto Mall, the former Manufacturer's Outlet Mall in Morgantown.
Carroll Shelby, a race professional who won the 24 Hours of Le Mans, wanted to build sports cars. He found out that he could take the AC Ace model cars from England and pair the British roadster with an American V-8 engine. In 1962, Shelby found a way and powered it with a Ford 260ci V-8 engine.
For sport coupe enthusiasts, the lightweight body, small dimension and brute U.S. power proved revolutionary, according to the Auto Mall, and the car performed well in tournaments.
The car on display was consigned to Ray Geddes-Ford Division, Dearborn, Mich. in August of 1963. It made its way through consignments in Michigan and ended up with owners in various Pennsylvania locations.
Today's asking price for the car: $950,000, according to Ed Aharonian, director of promotions for the mall.
"This is the first time we are showing the Shelby," he said.
The mall took 10 cars to the auto show, with the oldest being a 1940 Cadillac Roadster.
If not purchased beforehand, the Shelby Cobra, Aharonian said, would be back in the showroom near the Morgantown exit of the turnpike, after the show.
From 2018 to this year, the mall has grown from 100 to 500 cars, with 400 in inventory for sale, Aharonian said.
"We never thought we would develop so fast," he said.
Out of 500 cars in the past year, 167 sold, and the mall owners hope to double that next year at this time, he said. The end of 2019 should have 1,000 cars under one roof, totaling about 336,000 square feet. The space available is room enough, Aharonian said, for about 1,200 cars.
The Philadelphia Auto Show, Aharonian said, is the biggest of many the mall attends throughout the year.
On display at the show were many luxury vehicles, including Rolls Royce and Lamborghini. F.C. Kerbeck Lamborghini, Palmyra, N.J., parked a 2019 Huracan Performante Spyder in its display at the Philadelphia Auto Show.
Vehicles to be available to consumers in the near future were also on display, including the 2019 Mercedes-Benz A220 4Matic, the new Land Rover Plug-in Hybrid (available in July) and the Ford Shelby GT.
Sean Downey, Ford corporate marketing, told the Reading Eagle that the Shelby would be available in dealerships in the fall with an MSRP of $68,500.
Today marks the last day of the show. Vehicles are on display until 8 p.m.

The smaller horseshoe bat (Rhinolophus megaphyllus) is a species of bat in the family Rhinolophidae. It is found in Australia and Papua New Guinea.

Taxonomy
A species was first described by John Edward Gray in 1834, using a specimen provided by George Bennett that had been collected in a cave near the Murrimbidgee River.

Noted as the megaphyllus-species group, subsuming earlier taxa ranked as species and separating other these previously allied to the species complex. Five subspecies were recognised by Mammal Species of the World (Simmons, 2005)
 Rhinolophus megaphyllus J. E. Gray 1834
 Rhinolophus megaphyllus megaphyllus
 Rhinolophus megaphyllus fallax K. Andersen, 1906
 Rhinolophus megaphyllus ignifer Allen, 1933
 Rhinolophus megaphyllus monachus K. Andersen, 1905
 Rhinolophus megaphyllus vandeuseni Koopman, 1982

The common names assigned to the species include the smaller and eastern horseshoe bat.

Description
Rhinolophus megaphyllus is a small rhinolophid bat that has a combined head and body length of 44–53 millimetres, with a measurement of the forearm an approximately equal length at 44–52 mm. The mass is in a range of 7 to 13 grams. They have simple and large ears, measuring 12–21 millimetres from the base to a finely pointed tip. The eyes are tiny and the snout is adorned with a distinctively shaped nose-leaf. The fur colour is darker above, usually a shade of grey brown that is paler at the ventral side; the species is recorded in Queensland with rufous to orange coloration across the pelage.

A species of Rhinolophus, a genus characterised by the horseshoe shape of the fleshy nose-leaf structure used for echolocation. R. megaphyllus is readily distinguished by their pink nose-leaf, with ridging at the upper facing parts that align to a triangular point. Another structure emerges at the mid-point of the leaf, above the horseshoe-like protuberance at the lower part. The overall pinkish shade of the nose-leaf is edged with grey and the form is relatively simple. Although suspected to the be two different taxa, the nose-leaf and other exterior characteristics are indistinguishable between the north and southern forms.

Another species of the genus occurs at the east of the Cape York peninsula, the large-eared horseshoe bat Rhinolophus philippinensis has an ear length greater than 25 millimetres, a larger wingspan with forearm measurement greater than 50 mm, and a nose-leaf that is more elaborate in form. The ultrasonic signals emitted by the species are easily distinguishable from other bats in the southern part of the range, but geographic variation has not been determined; acoustic surveys in New Guinea are unable to distinguish the species from the similar call of Rhinolophus arcuatus.

Behaviour
They have a fluttery motion in flight as the wing shape allows them to make slow and agile manoeuvres while foraging within the forest. Insects are gleaned close to surfaces at all levels of the forest canopy, their insect prey is most often caught while in flight.
The foraging behaviour is consistent across the Australian range, with waiting at a perch or gleaning insects not in flight being infrequently recorded. The diet is highly variable and selective, mostly consisting of Lepidoptera and Coeloptera species, but not consistent with seasonal targeting of taxa at any given location.

Rather than clinging to walls while at their roost, R. megaphyllus hang from the ceiling of caves. The individuals roost apart from their neighbours and may cloak their body with the wings.

Distribution and habitat
The distribution range of Rhinolophus megaphyllus, in taxonomic revisions separating other populations, has come to be regarded as geographically isolated to the eastern parts of Australia and New Guinea. They are found at altitudes up to 1600 metres asl.
The species is common in suitable habitat in Eastern Australia, from the tropical regions of Cape York peninsula along the east coast and inland to the Great Dividing Range as far south as the more temperate climate of Victoria.

The range of R. megaphyllus extended westward in Victoria during the twentieth century, aided by colonisation of abandoned mine adits, and local populations are dependent on the availability of suitable daytime refuge and maternity roosts. Caves and similar sites that provide adequate warmth and high humidity are preferred and may be inhabited by groups numbering up to two thousand, however, the colony size is more often between five and fifty bats. Separate maternity sites are occupied for the birth and rearing of young, beginning in September or October and departing to rejoin males for mating in March or April.

Conservation
The IUCN Red List has assessed the conservation status of R. megaphyllus as least concern, as occurring in protected areas and occupying abandoned mine shafts, and lack of evidence in any significant decline; the trajectory of the population is however unknown.

For those of you who have read my newsletters or the Eczemasite web site in the past you will know that one of my big things when controlling eczema and psoriasis is moisturizing the skin.
Dry skin goes hand in hand with both eczema and psoriasis. Trying to control your eczema or psoriasis without first targeting the dry skin is fighting an uphill battle.
Regularly moisturizing the skin will help to reduce the itching and inflammation associated with eczema and psoriasis. This in turn will help to minimize the severity of the condition and make it easier to live with.
A major concern for the sufferer of eczema and psoriasis is a secondary skin infection resulting from excessive itching and cracked skin. The skin remains more flexible when moisturized regularly and as a result is less prone to cracking. This in turn reduces the risk of skin infections.
The secret is to find a good moisturizer and use it regularly. Make a habit to moisturize after showering and after prolonged exposure to water. Carry a moisturizer with you so you can moisturize as needed. Be aware that not all creams used to treat your eczema and psoriasis will be a moisturizer. It may be necessary to use a separate moisturizer as well as your treating cream.
Regular readers would know that I have two personal favorites when it comes to moisturizing the skin. Firstly the Bath Oil which can be added to the bath water or applied directly to the skin. And secondly the Sooth-it Gel which is great to throw in your bag and use in case of insect bites and stings.

Trembling Crown
(High Roller Records)
To be honest, I haven't been paying much attention to the Finnish Heavy Metal scene. Though that might be a wee mistake, now that High Roller Records has opened my eyes with releases of two splendid bands, SATAN'S FALL and CHALICE, the latter band whose debut album I am going to give a few words here. It took me a couple of listens to get this record under my skin. At first it seemed a tad dull and another run off the mill. Though as the album received more spins, a quite interesting world of slightly progressive and epic Heavy Metal with a good deal of nuances and great details opened. The music is driven by great guitar melodies, fine leads and captivating rhythm patterns, the basslines and drumming are quite profound and work really well with the overall atmosphere of the album. The vocals didn't latch onto me at first, but again they grew exponentially with the number of listens the album received. Compared to the multi dimensional music, they are in a way quite one dimensional, even though there is a certain range they work really well within, and heavy-laden, but in this context, the vocals are a safe harbour, and they do have their charm! CHALICE is doing their brand of melodic Heavy Metal quite good, they are hitting off a great atmosphere and the epic incorporations in most songs are quite good and a little traditional doominess here and there. The quietness of the last track 'Stars' is really good, and the female vocals who backs up the main vocals a few times, are a great addition as well. The opening track 'Night's Hand' is a good tour de force of what the band delivers, and all in between are enthusiastically performed with good energy. I reckon the epic side of IRON MAIDEN is the big inspiration here, even though they never hit it on that note, though who does, besides the masters themselves? Though there is a darker touch to CHALICE and quite some Rock'n'Roll here and there. Enter the trail of pestilence: www.facebook.com/chalicefin, www.hrrecords.de

What is a mailing list? Why can making this sort of list benefit both your website and your business in general?
A mailing list is a list of email addresses which get the very same message simultaneously. When you send an e-mail message to the mailing list address, it will be forwarded to all the addresses on that list automatically, but none of the receivers will become aware of who the rest of the recipients are. In the general case, people have to subscribe to a list, but sometimes email addresses are added manually without their owners' awareness. Based on the particular list management software, you may also be able to greenlight new subscribers, so users will not be able to sign up for a mailing list unless you okay their signup request. The mailing list feature is exceptionally useful in case you would like to send regular newsletters or some other kind of periodic publications to customers, as you will need to send a single email message and all the subscribers will get it immediately. As a consequence, you won't have to insert a large number of email addresses manually.
In case you have a shared website hosting plan with our company and you'd like to create a mailing list, it will take no more than one minute and a couple of clicks to accomplish that. You can add and remove mailing lists using the Email Manager instrument, which is integrated into our in-house developed Hepsia Control Panel. During the process, you will be able to pick the mailbox that will be used to send messages to your subscribers and the administrative address and password which you'll use, so as to be able to adjust a variety of settings, to authorize and remove subscribers, and so on. You can edit the administrative info at any moment from the very same part of the Control Panel. We employ Majordomo, a popular and powerful mailing list management software, which will give you complete command over the everyday e-correspondence with your mailing list subscribers.

16th April 2019 – Thursday, I'm starting on Tordino, removing the old vanish from the wheelhouse, removing paint on the decks and on the anchor winch. I loaded my car with tools and paint. They were last used on the yard in November when the Watergeus was dry docked.
15th April 2019 – I had a quick look at the Arma. A team of several people are working on the ship, removing old paint.
14th April 2019 – I wasn't feeling right, but decided to build something. I had two cupboards that I needed to build. They will replace the metal supports. It looks more professional and I can add more content. It is the plan to finish this part of the hold at the end of the year when my budget will allow it.
13th April 2019 – One of the main issues on my museum is the entrance. If it rains, I need to close the hatches. I want a sliding hatch on the entrance. With stuff I had and some metal I bought, I just started building something. It seems to work, but I need some more metal. To be continued….
12th April 2019 – Somewhere last December I started building an extra bedroom in the Watergeus. A project I have discontinued for several reasons. Now It was time to continue. Earlier this week I finished one wall and now I've done most of the woodwork.
8th April 2019 – I found a good looking model of a steamship in Holland in the morning. In the evening I drove to Amsterdam to pick it up. A few hours of driving, but worth the trip. I need several type of models for the next exhibition on Sunday 28th April 2019.
7th April 2019 – In the morning, I went to the Binnenvaartmuseum in Dordrecht. While I was in the area I went shopping with my mother. In a few second hand shops I found some nice stuff for my museum.
30th March 2019 – I started cleaning the little dingy. At lunch time, I had to stop since I wanted to go to Antwerp to the Open Scheepvaartdagen.
29th March 2019 – Most of the neighbours have a small boat for moving around in summertime. I used to have so many of those, but always gave them away or used them for painting my boat. There was an old Pioner 235 boat left on the Arma. Green by mold and dirt, but in a good condition. With three people we put it on the Watergeus, ready for cleaning and using this summer!
29th March 2019 – My neighbour James helped me installing the new batteries for Tordino. The engine started straight away! It hadn't run since last September when we whelped moving the Tatro to the yard.
When I arrived home, I found the certificate of 'Varend Erfgoed' in my letterbox. Tordino is now official recognized as heritage!
24th March 2019 – I was open during the weekend. In between guiding visitors, I managed to finish most of the Archive Center. My tools are now gone and replaced by folders, documents and books.
17th March 2019 – I did a small clean-up outside. Leaves, branches from trees and some rubbish, all of it was blown on deck. I raised the mast again and did some cleaning in the back accommodation.
Later in the afternoon, I continued moving my tools to the back of the ship. At least, the storage unit is becoming empty and ready to be converted in an archive room.
15th March 2019 – While it is still to windy to do anything outside, I continued sorting out books and documents on the Watergeus to move to the Archive and Documentation Centre of Museumschip Tordino. I found some old documents in a box. They came from the British trawler Ross Leopard. I spent most of the evening reading the books….
10th March 2019 – A day to remember, at lunch time, my neighbours in Beernem called me. The boats were a bit loose because of the wind. On arrival I noticed the wheelhouse of the first boat was gone including some hatches.
In the evening when I was on the Watergeus, a few flower pots were gone, nothing special.


Jerry Kaufman was born in 1933, in Middletown, Connecticut. He is the son of immigrant Jews from Lithuania and Belarus. At the age of two the family moved to Corona, Queens and he grew up there in a small two-bedroom apartment. His father was a housepainter and the house was often filled with arguments. Arguments between his combative brother and his mother and arguments between his mother and father over financial matters. Jerry would try to escape the strife by heading for the street to play baseball. He was a fierce competitor his whole life, as many of his former squash partners will attest. His family's conflicts taught him to be a good listener and fed a longstanding desire to resolve conflicts in a pieceful way. His father's financial struggles gave him a deep, unshakable empathy for those that have little.
He enjoyed a free college education at Queens College, commuting from home, while working summers as a waiter in the Borscht Belt to pay for his books and other expenses. Throughout his undergraduate years Jerry was mostly adrift, searching for a direction and receiving little attention from faculty in this large commuters' college. During his senior year he approached a sociology professor of his, asking him for advice on what he should do with his life. The professor pulled a book of his shelf and said, "what about planning?" That book was Lewis Mumford's "The City in History." Jerry was smitten with Mumford's critique of the direction of American life and Mumford's vision for a more humanistic society. He went on to study with Mumford at the University of Pennsylvania and afterward began a long and fruitful career as a planning visionary.
One of his first jobs took him to Champaign-Urbana. Shortly after his wife completed college they moved to the southside of Chicago. Jerry began working for the American Society of Planning Officials and most importantly was taught by a kind and demanding boss named Dennis O'Harrow how to write well. Writing was a skill he cherished and later taught to his students. His own prose style was clear and void of academic jargon. In 1971 he was offered a job at the University of Wisconsin-Madison, though he had only a masters degree.
In the nineteen seventies the focus in his work turned more and more towards addressing ethical, moral, and political questions. In the late 70s, with his colleague Beth Howe, he wrote the first paper that dealt with the ethical considerations of city planners. He later helped draft the first code of ethics for members of the American Planning Association, which posits that residents of communities should have the opportunity to have a meaningful impact on the development of plans and programs that may affect them. This was a radical departure from the top-down days of Robert Moses and urban renewal.
The last phase of his professional career starting in the late 90s was dedicated to food systems. Much to his surprise Mumford never addressed food. He wrote in a paper that Mumford's vision of a city as a place for "vivid and autonomous personal life" was not realizable without "secure, ongoing access for all citizens to high quality, nutritious food." He has been called, rightly, "the father of food systems planning." He did not limit his work to academic paper writing but got involved in many projects such as Troy Gardens project in Madison (Wi). After his retirement from the university in 2001 he remained hard at work as president of the board of Will Allen's non-profit urban farming organization Growing Power. He formed a close partnership with Will and an even closer friendship. He admired Will's vision and work enormously and admired him even more as a person.
In the last twenty years Jerry visited Amsterdam (Netherlands) frequently. He spend a full year with his wife in the Dutch capital as a visiting professor in the social sciences department of Amsterdam University. The couple took a course in Dutch. Judy his wife successfully completed the course and managed to write poems in Dutch. Jerry for his part could say hello and goodbye. He didn't have a knack for foreign languages. Being a charming person and a brilliant teacher Jerry was admired and praised by his Amsterdam colleagues and students. One of them was inspired so much by his pioneering food studies that he decided to explore the opportunities for a European food planning group. This initiative produced the AESOP sustainable food planning thematic group. Jerry was invited as a guest of honour October 9, 2009 at the founding session in the newtown of Almere in the Netherlands. The organisers were not unaware that Jerry was willing to risk his life to go there. He was on the brink of a life threatening operation and had undergone multiple heart surgery in the preceding year. The doctor obviously could not stop him, Jerry was a renowned charmer in this type of situations. His concerns were always outward, towards others. He never saw people as a means to an end, but rather as an end onto themselves. Jerry will be remembered as a warm and caring colleague and tutor with a magnificent Jewish sense of humour.
Thanks to Daniel Kaufman who wrote a touching personal obituary on Jerry's Caring Bridge site.

Moran chimes in on issues at AMBUCS gathering
TIM UNRUH Salina Journal
Sen. Jerry Moran, R-Kan., insisted he was not at the Salina Noon Network AMBUCS meeting Thursday to speak, but when invited up front, the longtime Kansas politician obliged.
The Manhattan Republican touched on education, the 2016 presidential election, the Iran nuclear deal and the Department of Veterans Affairs in speaking to some 38 members at Martinelli's Little Italy restaurant, 158 S. Santa Fe.
Moran reminded folks of his passion for his home state and his hometown of Plainville.
"I'd like for the places we all come from to be around a lot longer," Moran said.
When club Vice President Jessica Sawyer asked if Moran would be watching Thursday night's Republican primary debate, the senator replied, "No, I can't stand that stuff."
Here's what he said on the other subjects:
Local control, education
Local folks should have more control in mapping public education, Moran said.
"It's so important that you don't want a lot of decisions made in Washington, D.C. You want them made by the local boards of education."
He advocated cutting unfunded mandates and supports a program that is "less intrusive" than the old No Child Left Behind requirements.
Just say no to Iran
Lawmakers should turn back President Barack Obama's nuclear deal with Iran, Moran said.
"I think the agreement is horrific. It's the most consequential decision the Congress will make. We were not in a conflict with Iran."
The agreement eliminates sanctions against Iran up front, he said, in hopes that Iran will behave and comply.
"We cannot trust Iran."
The VA is failing
The Veterans Affairs "is failing those who served our country," primarily by offering only sluggish access to services.
"The goal is to make certain veterans are able to access care where they live, if they live more than 40 miles from a VA facility. The VA has to provide local services."
A Republican contender
After the AMBUCS meeting, Moran said he hopes that a viable Republican candidate for president emerges from the primary races.
"What I hope doesn't happen is that our candidates spend the next year and a half criticizing each other and they end up politically wounded. I hope they conduct themselves so that after the primaries, we have a candidate that can win."
Putting a Republican in the White House will first require a candidate who can overcome the Democratic advantages with more followers in the big cities where there are more electoral votes.
"We are desperate for leadership. I'm optimistic that a Republican can win."
On the Democratic side, Moran said, Hillary Clinton "has challenges," and Vice President Joe Biden could be a strong challenger if he runs.
Also at Thursday's AMBUCS meeting, Lisa Newman, family and child development agent for the Central Kansas Extension District, covering Saline and Ottawa counties, said the Extension is a "best-kept secret."
She gave an overview of the eight agents in her district and covered the Extension Family and Consumer Sciences division's "Grand Challenges Facing Kansas" statewide.
Those challenges include water, health, global food systems, community vitality and developing leaders.
Newman suggested that Extension services could be better utilized in many communities. Resources and other help are available in all 105 Kansas counties.
"It's like the library," Newman said. "There is so much there for residents."

I hate new year's resolutions. They invariably end up rapidly defunct (like doing "dry January" which ended for me this past Friday) or are improbable (I once tried to learn Arabic, I can now order falafel and that's about it). Yet they still expose necessary truths by positing the start or end of something — so here goes for SA.
Stop trying to invent new policy. Stop the never-ending hunt for a magical policy tree of new low-hanging fruit that are easy to implement at zero political cost. They don't exist.
The total menu of policy options in this reform restaurant is already on the table — from the radically collectivist to the libertarian laissez-faire. What SA needs to do is simply choose and implement with laser focus.

Deborah Bruskin said: Great Shoe I love this shoe. I have a lot of problems buying shoes that are comfortable - I have a lot of issues with my knees and my feet. I bought a different pair recently that were more casual and wanted something a little dressier. This shoe is perfect. I am a size 8.5 and it is slightly roomy but I'm okay with that - will accommodate a slightly heavier sock when it gets cold. Orthofeet is the only company that makes shoes that always work for me - very happy with this shoe.
So happy with the shoes. The quick response and delivery time is/was greatly appreciated. Thank you.
The first real shoes I've worn in a log time. Very comfortable, easy to put on with my arthritic fingers. I've had several surgerys and the shoe fits comfortable over those areas with no pain. stylish too!
I have been wearing this show style for years. Love them, they are perfect for me. Fit great, feel great!
That's how my feet felt. Wore them right out of the box for an event. So pleased, great support, stylish too.
