Buenas tardes a los que hablan español, mucho gusto. Good afternoon, it's a pleasure to be here with you all. People say that our community needs more scientists, more writers, entrepreneurs, and social leaders. But that's why society should focus on childhood. Allowing them to be entrepreneurs from childhood.
Let's imagine that you are a child who wants to be a baseball player. What should you do? Practice? Of course, practice, and go to the baseball school. If you want to be a pianist or a violinist, you should go to the music school. If you as a child, want to be a singer, there are places where you can be trained. But if you want to be an environmentalist where can you receive training? There are no place. There were no places to go.
In 1995 I was 10 when I decided to start doing something to help Grandmother Earth. I invited my friends to meet after school and I told them about environmental issues. We wanted to protect animals, plants and humans. And dreamed about spreading our movement around the world. Our name was HUNAB, and it stands for Humans Unite with Nature in Harmony for Beauty, Welfare, and Willingness. We discovered that the worst environmental problem that our society has to face is not pollution, nor extinction, nor illegal trade, neither global warming. The worst environmental problem is the lack of education because this is the root for all those problems. But we, as a group, we have faced our own challenge, the lack of credibility because of our age. Fortunately and after 19 years, we survived it.
And now we are focused on education as our main element to solve and to eradicate environmental problems. Education is a continuous process where a person acquires knowledge, awareness, and the skills to make decisions. Education requires continuous time and efforts. And in fact, I am still astonished about why, in my country, and in the world, environmental education is not included as a main subject in the school's curriculum, when Mexico is one of the megadiverse countries in the world. Natural resources are the basis of our economy. And education is a tool to eradicate poverty. If a country has problems with the economy or development, this country can survive. It will have more time to solve it. But if a country has problems with its natural resources or environment, this country will not have more time to solve it because this is the basis for their health, development, and growth, their heritage, and their sovereignty.
With my group, I decided to found a non-profit institution in 2006. Now we are focused on four different programs. Let's see each one of them. The first one is Methodologies. To teach in a fun way, those topics that seem complex to explain. Now, thanks to the children's contribution, we can approach them in an easy and transcending way. In fact, children are very creative. Thanks to their ideas, we have generated books, stories, hand crafts, and games. Children show us everyday the best language to teach. This was a mournful march to recognize the extinct species in Mexico. The 41 extinct species. When I say environmental education, I don't refer to natural sciences, I mean a comprehensive vision of all the issues around. Here you can see how we approach water culture, biodiversity, energy, environment and ecology, humanitarian culture, and also laws.
In fact, we have an educational plan, we call it Mondambientes. Mondambientes in Spanish stands for, Changing Environment. It's like a career to be an environmentalist from childhood. During two years, a child needs to learn about these 17 main topics. But the information is according to their age. Let's see only one, the number 14. To organize fishing and sustainable development, a child is going to learn about close seasons, fishing techniques, ecosystems for fishing, conservation, native biodiversity, and sustainable aquaculture, and then they can take action. Because now they have a comprehensive idea about how their actions have a positive impact on their communities.
The second program is about courses with workshops where children are teaching other children. Yes, they are training their peers during two years, in order to train them as environmental instructors. That's why I say that they are the heroes of our Grandmother Earth. Because children's hands may be small, but their hearts are immense to save our planet. In fact, children who have participated in this program have learned about how to respect nature, how to respect environment, but also this program has changed lifestyle. Due to the mentorship activities, there are children who've started their own activities, their own movements, and they have been awarded by the Mexican authorities. In fact, we have met with the last four presidents of Mexico. The third program is sustainable aquaculture production systems where we are rescuing native species like the Mayan Apple Snail to the extent that our communities are now more aware of their natural resources. They will be able to properly use their native species, and also to reactivate their local economies.
And finally, the fourth program is Ceiba Pentandra. Ceiba Pentandra is the name of the first high-level environmental educational training center in the world. In 2007 the city of Merida donated us a land. In 2012 we started the construction. Thanks to the Mexico Initiative Award and the Young Laureates Rolex Award for Enterprise, there were $500,000 to invest. It allowed us to build only 30 percent of the construction, but this year we have a big challenge. We need to raise enough funds to complete the construction. Only two million dollars. Yeah. And these are some areas that we need to build. We need some museums, we need an aquarium, a library, and an experimental laboratory too.
But why is Ceiba Pentandra so important? Why? There are other Mexican states asking for their own environmental theme park. Because with a 100 percent of the construction we will be able to receive 64,000 children a year. With a successful methodology we can be an ally for the educational system. Also, a lot of space for young people, handicapped, and elderly. With our expertise, we can train teachers, and provide them methodologies and materials too. And also, with our expertise, we can contribute to generate the free textbooks for the educational system, like this one for the curriculum. This project can be replicated in any place of Mexico or in the world.
Now, I brought a new project, and you're going to be the first ones to know about this. In Ceiba Pentandra we reinvented the Noah's Ark. Yes, the Noah's Ark. We reinvented... In moments of crisis, the Noah's Ark saved, protected, and rescued wildlife, all the living beings. But now our Grandmother Earth needs our support. Needs to protect the living beings now. Here are some features of the reinvented Ark developed in Ceiba Pentandra. The first one is that this can cross geographical borders. Another novel feature is that it can adapt to the urgent needs of harmonizing the humans coexistence. Also the size was redesigned so that all the tools required for sustainable management can be transported, constructed, or modified within the ark. This ark can improve under adverse situations. Some contributions of this new ark is that if we can activate it and distribute this prototype around the world, we will allow a stronger human contributions.
Also, we will ensure the protection of living beings on ground and oceans. We can harmonize the coexistence of cultures. And we can save natural resources. But thanks to children's ideas in my organization, we discovered that with this reinvented ark, we can save the most important species in the world, humans. Also, we need your contributions. I don't mean money, although it is also necessary. I mean your ideas, perseverance, and participation to consolidate it.
Well, I think that it's time to discover this reinvented ark. Are you ready? Yeah! OK. This is the reinvented ark. Yes, all this time I was talking about human brains. Our brains are like arks. Each time that we make a decision to protect a living being, a plant, a human, an animal, we are acting like an ark. And this ark has always have been there. We only need to consolidate it and to reactivate it. We only need to distribute these arks around the world, as much as we can. That's why we need to consolidate Ceiba Pentandra. That's why we need more environmental educational training centers around the world. That's why we need to train more heroes of Grandmother Earth. But we need to work together. Decision makers, media, companies, authorities, we do need you. See, if we work united, with these new arks, we will ensure a prosperous and harmonious life for our Grandmother Earth. Thank you.

5 Things Your Optometrist Will Tell You About Eye Health and Aging
Eye health is something that stays under-the-radar compared to other aspects of the human body. Everyday we hear news stories and read articles about improving cardiovascular health, preventing cancer, and losing weight. But rarely do we hear stories about taking care of our eyes and ensuring that they stay as healthy as possible as we age.
Now is the time to change that. Keeping healthy eyes is just as important as maintaining a healthy heart or staying at your ideal weight. Here's what every qualified optometrist will tell you to do in order to keep your eyes healthy, especially as you approach your 40s and 50s.
Eat the Right Foods
Diet plays a huge role in maintaining proper vision. A healthy diet in both men and women is crucial for strong, vibrant eyes. Choosing the right foods with essential antioxidants and vitamins won't just help to preserve your vision, it will keep the whites of your eyes shiny and bright. Try to incorporate more leafy greens, nuts, seeds, and fish into your everyday eating routine.
Fatty fish like salmon is the best thing you can eat for your eye health. This is because fish like salmon contains omega fatty acids, which helps the part of the eye called the macula. The macula is responsible for central vision; when you suffer from macular degeneration, chances are you didn't consume enough fish in your diet.
Put Down the Cigarette
Smoking is one of the worst things you can do to your eyes. Not only does it expose your eyes to cigarette smoke, it causes a great deal of stress on eyes and vision overall. Research shows that heavy smokers are much more likely to develop age-related macular degeneration, or AMD.
Schedule Regular Eye Exams
You see the dentist once (or maybe even twice) a year, so what makes you think the eye doctor should be any different? When you're younger, it is not as necessary to see the eye doctor every single year, but it should still be done every other year. As you age though, it is extremely important to schedule regular eye exams so that the health of your eyes can be examined.
This won't just help to prevent eye-related health issues. Many illnesses can be detected through eye exams, like diabetes, high blood pressure, even autoimmune diseases like HIV. At the very least, make a point to visit your local eye doctor every 2 years.
Don't Underestimate the Power of Sleep
Sleep is like the cure-all for many minor health issues. After a solid night's rest, you're likely to feel energized, look healthier, and even see more clearly. When you don't get at least 7 hours of sleep a night, the tiredness the following day will put an enormous strain on your eyes. If this is a common occurrence, it can impair your vision permanently.
Get Moving
When you exercise, your body experiences improved circulation. This increases oxygen levels throughout the entire body, including your eyes. Increased oxygen allows your eyes to remove toxins and remain healthy.

What to Expect
What to Wear & Bring
Gearing up for a game, lesson or tennis clinic is easy at the Keystone Tennis Club – bring tennis shoes and wear clothes you can move in. This low-key dress code is perfect for those on vacation who want to squeeze in a game or learn a new skill set.
What NOT to Bringing
Your tennis balls from home. At high altitudes (greater than 4,000 ft) tennis players need to switch to high altitude tennis balls. The reason for this is that normal tennis balls will increase in pressure when brought up to the mountains and become too bouncy for proper play. The Keystone Tennis Club sells high altitude tennis balls at their gear store but you can find them at any sporting good store 4,000 feet above sea level that sells tennis equipment. The packaging will say High Altitude on it.
Move Your Game Outside
If you haven't experience high country summers you are in for a treat! Summers in Keystone are commonly in the 70's with almost no humidity or bugs! At 9,280 feet above sea level, Keystone is closer to the sun than most places so it is important to stay sun safe. Those playing outdoors during the summer should plan to bring sunscreen, sunglasses, a visor or hat and their reusable water bottle.
Meet Your Match
The Keystone Tennis Club offers Player Match Ups for anyone looking for someone to play with. This is a great way to meet new people and is a great opportunity for those on vacation to enjoy a game of tennis with a local player.

Which one of today's ideas will be tomorrow's solutions?
About 10 years ago, my home institution, the University of Washington Medical Center here in Seattle, served as the only U.S. site in the World Health Organization's "Surgical Safety Saves Lives" pilot study of a standardized operating room checklist. I had been out of training for 10 years already and didn't think much of this step other than that it was one more hassle. You may have had the same experience in your OR. Burdensome, time-consuming, unnecessary—I have heard (and felt) all these concerns. I grumbled but slowly came around—a reluctant early adopter, you might say. Now I can't imagine working without the checklist.
What is next? Who will be the instigators, and who will be the early adopters of the next safety and quality idea? Perhaps it is you. As introduced by Everett Rogers, the concept of "diffusion of innovation" applies to much of what is around us as otolaryngologist-head and neck surgeons, whether it is referring to a major paradigm shift such as endoscopic sinus surgery or a way of organizing and accessing an unparalleled amount of clinical data in the form of our American Academy of Otolaryngology–Head and Neck Surgery Foundation registry: Reg-entSM ENT Clinical Data Registry.
As we look at the value equation in twenty-first century medicine, improving medical safety and reducing harm and injury will be critical. The AAO-HNS/F offers many opportunities to learn and to lead in this area. The Patient Safety and Quality Improvement Committee is perennially productive. Recent leaders include Drs. Rahul K. Shah, David W. Roberson, Emily F. Boss, and C.W. David Chang. When you are at the AAO-HNSF 2019 Annual Meeting & OTO Experience in New Orleans, LA, September 15-18, come join in on the meeting. It is open to all members. Some of the Annual Meeting's most popular sessions are about patient safety, and registration will be opening on the AAO-HNSF site in as soon as six weeks.
The next major innovation in otolaryngology already is here: Reg-ent, the otolaryngologist-designed, otolaryngologist-driven, and otolaryngologist-owned clinical registry, allows for a universe of quality and safety initiatives beyond serving as our MIPS reporting instrument. As a participating otolaryngologist, you can access your own data extracted automatically through your electronic health record or, with the resources of our AAO-HNSF, work on a broader investigation of national trends and questions regarding sleep surgery, antibiotics for otitis, thyroidectomy, or any area in a vast array of data captured in Reg-ent.
Future quality and safety initiatives across medicine recognize cost—a key component in the value equation—but this will require us to open our minds to the innovation around us. Learn more about Reg-ent by talking to a colleague—any of the thousands of otolaryngologists already engaged in reporting—or by reaching out to the AAO-HNS at entnet.org/contact_us or 703-836-4444.
We all know what happened to the laryngosauruses.

Recently the staff of the economic security Service of the FSB finished reviewing the financial documents of the Foundation for the Support of Islamic culture, established with an active participation of Directorate for Domestic Policy of the Presidential Administration of RF.
The Fund's audit results turned out to be disappointing: it revealed numerous violations related to the misappropriation of funds. The amounts of inappropriately spent funds are dazzling.
Non-Profit Charitable Foundation for the Support of Islamic Culture, Science and Education (full name of the fund) was registered in January 2007 as indicated on the official website of the Fund, in order to support the traditional Muslim religious organizations and their ongoing projects aimed at promoting general tolerance, religious tolerance, eliminating Islam phobia and division of a society by ethnic and religious grounds.
However, in reality it was not so easy. As stated in the founding documents, the board of the Fund is headed by the rector of the Moscow Islamic University - Marat Murtazin, Board of Trustees – by President of the Chamber of Commerce - Evgeny Primakov. But, according to knowledgeable people, they are nothing more than "ceremonial bystanders". In fact, the Foundation is run by the adviser of Directorate for Domestic Policy of the Presidential Administration of RF - Alexey Grishin, who is modestly staffed as an ordinary member of the board.
An expert in religious law, Doctor of Law, member of the Public Chamber on education in Moscow, Igor Ponkin was the first who paid his attention to a suspicious situation around the "Islamic" Fund. In particular, he wrote the following lines in an analytical note, prepared as early as 2008: According to an employee of the Presidential Administration Alexander Grishin, in 2007 the Fund was provided with 400 million rubles to support Islamic education. in 2008-2009 Islamic Development Bank was supposed to credit 1.5 million dollars to the Fund for humanitarian projects.
According to the above-mentioned analytical note, the funds which had been passing through the Foundation were huge. Even in a crisis of 2009 there were "over 1100 grants totaling 198 million rubles distributed between religious and other organizations" (in 2008 - 240 million). And this is only according to official figures. As for the audit results, the Fund had held through at least two-folded (more than 1 billion rubles.). It turns out more than half of all the money "disappeared" in an unknown direction.
The audit found that, contrary to the charter, in addition to extra-budgetary sources (donations of Russian and foreign businessmen and Islamic organizations), the Fund was regularly supplemented by funds from the state budget.
Another $ 1.5 million disappeared which the Fund Islamic Development Bank (IDB) had allocated to publicize a multivolume encyclopedia of Islamic in Russian. None of the planned 16 volumes (nearly $ 100 thousand for each - what a scope!) was ever published.
The grants had been distributed between the Russian Islamic structures in a very "peculiar" way as well. The regions repeatedly complained they had to send 20-30% of the amount received back to Moscow (as a "payoff"). And that was despite the fact that by law the Fund had the right to leave 20% statutory funds for the implementation of its statutory activities. What was more needed?
Another story was the conduction of different competitions, conferences, festivals and seminars (Women of the Islamic Conference, the Congress of young specialists in Turkic languages, the conference "Islam will defeat terrorism," etc.). There was a lot one could afford. According to some estimates, the cost of such activities was overstated 2 or even 3 times. At the same time they "mastered" million- funds coming from abroad - Saudi Arabia, UAE, Iran, Qatar, Kuwait, the Organization of Islamic Conference.
Formally, the founders of the Fund are Muslim organizations - the Council of muftis of Russia, the International Islamic Mission, the Central Spiritual Directorate of Muslims, the Muslim Coordinating Center of the North Caucasus and the Russian public organization "Al-Hak"(" Justice "). However, the surrounding of Mr. Grishin does not let the representatives of these structures set foot on its threshold.
There is no wonder. Over the past year "the Islamist in civvies" has fully staffed the Fund (10 persons) by his proteges who came from different parts of the country. And the current executive director of the Fund Dmitry Bondarenko (who is in charge of all financial document flow) was issued to the capital from ... Latin America.

Pink Hospitality & VIP Tickets | Tour 2019
Pink found her fame when she was just 16 and formed the band 'Choice' where they released a copy of their first song 'Key to my heart'. Pink was later then given the choice to go solo and in 1998 they disbanded and she went on to release her debut single as a solo artist 'There you go'. From then the singer has gone from strength to strength going on to win the trophy for 'Female artist of the year' and winning her first Grammy Award.
Pink was eager to perform the music that she wanted to so she took her sound in a new direction during the recording of her second album 'Missundaztood' where she released some of her most known tracks 'Just ike a pill' and 'Family Portrait'.
in 2017 Pink released her seventh album, becoming the third best-selling album of the year worldwide. 'What about us' meant she would become solo female artist with the most number-ones in the chart's history and placing her in second place amongst all acts. Pink announced her 'beautiful Trauma tour' which later had to be extended and extra dates and countries added.
The 'Stupid Girls' singer hasn't toured the UK since her 2013 'The Truth About Love Tour'. Don't miss out on getting the best VIP experience and hospitality for this spectacular Pink show.

The World Ain't All Sunshine And Rainbows
"Let me tell you something you already know. The world ain't all sunshine and rainbows. It's a very mean and nasty place and I don't care how tough you are it will beat you to your knees and keep you there permanently if you let it. You, me, or nobody is gonna hit as hard as life. But it ain't about how hard you hit. It's about how hard you can get hit and keep moving forward. How much you can take and keep moving forward. That's how winning is done!"~Rocky Balboa
When life hits you hard and knocks you down to your feet will you have the courage to get up and keep going? It is not a question of if. It is a question of when. We all get knocked down by life one time or another. Only those who can pick themselves up and continue with the journey will be able to sing the song of success in the end.

Not trolling.
Someone stop the planet, I need to step off.
Probably be better than we got now though, so...
Wow, fucking nailed it, lol.
Oprah for free shit in 2020, lolol
Possibly, but only if "trump for nuclear holocaust 2016" doesn't pan out
No one will miss North Korea, they will be forgotten by 2019
True that, i sure wouldn't, bunch of cunts from what i can tell.
However, i might miss the major city they potentially blow up in retaliation to chester cheeto being a giant cunt himself.
"You get a tax break and you get a tax break..."
Is your mission here just to call Trump a cunt, well done.
We could have ended up with Killary but thankfully the real cunt was kept out of office.
We could have been just like France or Germany by now but we dodged that one thankfully.
Or better yet, we could still be getting kicked in the balls by Isis just like the Muzzie bitch Obama was twisting us into.
Or better yer, let's be socialist and get Bernie in there, so many great libtard choices to pick from.
Yep, now we'r just the laughing stock of the world. It would have been better if we had real candidates for president. #fuckthe2partyscam
I don't agree with the laughing stock part but I agree with you on the two party system. That needs to go.
We can't be the laughing stock with most of the world sucking our dick for protection.
I'm not trying to argue, but I'm a little ignorant to some issues as I refuse to watch any kind of "news". What countries do we protect? Besides Japan since we are legally required to do.
Policy > celebrity
We were damn near fully supporting NATO for decades, common knowledge.
President Trump finally told the other countries to pay up their fair share.
We protect most of the world.
Ok. I thought it was more like we stuck our noses in where they shouldn't be solely out of financial interests, i.e. oil. In my life time, I don't recall any conflicts where we were "protecting" anybody.

5 Ways Pastors Should Imitate Billy Graham
On its face, a call for pastors to imitate Billy Graham is as fitting as a call for congressmen to imitate George Washington or young basketball players to imitate Michael Jordan.

Martin Luther's Gift to Pastors
At the conclusion of Luther on the Christian Life (2015), church historian Carl Trueman recollects being interviewed for his first tenured appointment at a university.

Reformation is Recovery
Renowned church historian Jaroslav Pelikan once boasted that Martin Luther "was more Catholic than many of his Roman Catholic opponents." He was, after all, a Reformer.

Preach Like A Puritan
What is "expository" preaching? Admittedly, the word carries different meanings for different believers.

The Women Who Helped Shape American Religion
Despite the accusations of some that Christianity diminishes the role of women in society, the Bible tells a much different story.

MT. ANGEL - Mount Angel has a strong sense of its past. Many descendants of the original white settlers still live and work here. The town's German Catholic heritage is commemorated each year as residents put on one of the state's premier community festivals, Oktoberfest. Historic buildings like St. Mary's Church and Queen of Angels Monastery have been carefully preserved and archives at the monastery and Mount Angel Abbey are treasure troves of historical documents and photographs.
Yet, with all this rich history, Mount Angel has no historical society or museum. That may be about to change. Gary Edwards moved to Mount Angel from West Salem six years ago. Fascinated by his new hometown, he began to wonder why Mount Angel, with such a unique past, had no historical club, organization or society. Eventually, Edwards started asking around to find out who the local experts and historians were. He came up with three people: Sr. Alberta Dieker, OSB; Bill Predeek; and Br. Cyril Drnjevic, OSB.
He contacted them and the small group recently began to meet on a monthly basis.
"This is long overdue," Dieker said. "There's a lot of rich history here and the people who have experienced much of the town's early history are disappearing."
Dieker brings a lot of expertise to the group. She taught history at the college level for several decades, has written A Tree Rooted in Faith, which is considered the definitive history of the Benedictine Sisters' community, and she is a past president of the Oregon Catholic Historical Society.
Bill Predeek's interest in the history of Mount Angel began as a hobby, but has certainly developed into much more than a casual pursuit. One room of his house is filled with an enormous collection of historical artifacts and photographs, which he has catalogued.
Predeek said he hopes the group grows and evolves into an active historical society with dues-paying members. "The purpose of a historical society would be to collect, preserve and display the historical artifacts of the town. A historical society would add legitimacy to what I'm doing and people would be more willing to donate items."
Predeek has no doubt the public would be interested in donating. Last summer he put together a display at the Mount Angel library for the celebration of Marion County's 150th anniversary. Before the event, he invited people to submit items of historical value and "was overwhelmed with the response."
Both Predeek and Dieker mention the possibility of having a place to store and display all the artifacts and photographs. That would require financial resources the group doesn't have at this point, but they say that more public involvement is the key to start the ball rolling.
"We need people," Predeek said simply. He noted that 42 people attended the first meeting of the Silverton Historical Society. He said he hopes that the present Mount Angel group of five or six interested people will double in size in the near future. He invites anyone interested to attend the next meeting. Dieker said that focusing on Mount Angel's past could add to its present.
"People can really begin to appreciate what has happened here in Mount Angel and the struggles that have occurred to make the town what it is today."

The present study was conducted to determine the concomitant immunity in cancer patients by culturing lymph node cells obtained from various cancer patients with the primary cultured tumor cells derived from human cancer and the following results were obtained. 1. The primary cultures were conducted with 42 cases of gastric cancer, 12 of mammary cancer, 8 of cancerous thoracic fluid, 5 of cancerous ascites, 2 of metastatic hepatoma, 2 of thyroid cancer and 7 others. Among them there were 29 cases where the sufficient number of free cells were obtained by the same type of culture so that there were enough viable tumor cells attached on the culture vessel wall to harvest. 2. Effects of autochthonous lymph nodes on human primary cultured cancer cells : From the total of 22 cases comprising 9 cases of gastric cancer, 6 of mammary cancer, 2 of metastatic hepatoma, one of thyroid cancer, 2 of cancerous thoracic fluid and 2 of cancerous ascites, 30 series of cytotoxicity tests were conducted by mixing each of them with autochthonous lymph node cells mainly prepared with lymph nodes obtained at surgical operation. During the mixed culture for the period of 24 hours to 72 hours the cases where the autochthonous lymph node cells had shown anti-proliferative effect on the primary cutured cells amounted to 12/30 cases (70%), and those that showed a proliferative effect instead amounted to 1/30 cases (3.3%). 3. Effects of autochthonous lymph nodes according to their sites on human primary cultured cancer cells : Considering the sites of tumors, the lymph nodes collected were roughly divided into the regional lymph nodes and distant lymph nodes, and looking at their anti-proliferative effect 7/13 cases (54%) of the regional lymph nodes and 14/17 cases (82.4%) of the distant lymph nodes had shown the anti-proliferative effect. 4. Effect of allogeneic lymph nodes on the primary cancer cells derived from human patients: There were 30 lines of mixed cultures of allogeneic lymph node cells and the human primary cultured cancer cells, and of them 11/30 cases (36.7%) showed anti-proliferative effect. By dividing lymph nodes according to cancer patients and non-cancer patients 8/16 cases (50%) in the former had anti-proliferative effect while 3/14 cases (21.4%) in the latter group. From these findings it may be said that there is concomitant immunity established in human cancer and lymph nodes act inhibitorily on tumor. Moreover, most cases having larger tumors are in the terminal stage of cancer, and there can be observed a decrease-disappearance of immunity of regional lymph nodes in such cases.

The cereals programme at Namulonge is improving the Longe maize varieties that farmers already grow, to resist maize stalk borer and the recent fall armyworm.
With all these challenges being addressed through genetic engineering technique, it is understandable for [Member of Paliament Syda] Bbumba to choose to support the "demon" for the sake of ensuring a food secure Uganda. Read more

Yesterday's quote was from Teddy Roosevelt. It's reproduced again so you can see it.
"The President is merely the most important among a large number of public servants. He should be supported or opposed exactly to the degree which is warranted by his good conduct or bad conduct, his efficiency or inefficiency in rendering loyal, able, and disinterested service to the Nation as a whole. Therefore it is absolutely necessary that there should be full liberty to tell the truth about his acts, and this means that it is exactly necessary to blame him when he does wrong as to praise him when he does right. Any other attitude in an American citizen is both base and servile. To announce that there must be no criticism of the President, or that we are to stand by the President, right or wrong, is not only unpatriotic and servile, but is morally treasonable to the American public. Nothing but the truth should be spoken about him or any one else. But it is even more important to tell the truth, pleasant or unpleasant, about him than about any one else."
I support President Bush in that he's the President of the US and if there was something I could do to help the country, I would. I don't believe he's intentionally trying to hurt the US and I was glad to see him send troops to Afghanistan in 2001.
However I think he's been a little absent from his duties over the last few years and has not managed the country well. He has not led us, and while he has been resolute in Iraq, he has not done a good job ensuring the country had a steward that was looking out for it and it's people.

TURIN -- Italdesign Giugiaro will unveil a concept for a fast but fuel efficient hybrid coupe at the Geneva auto show called the Namir.
The Italian design and engineering company says the two-seater can reach a top speed of 300kph and accelerate from 0kph to 100kph in less than four seconds.
The Namir concept will travel 50km on a single liter of gasoline and emit about 50 grams per kilometer of CO2. By comparison, the third-generation Toyota Prius that will also be shown in Geneva will achieve CO2 emissions of less than 100g/km.
Giugiaro will announce technical details of the hybrid powertrain at the Geneva show, but a source said that a Wankel rotary gasoline engine powers a generator. Traction comes from electric motors that power each axle, creating a permanent all-wheel-drive setup.
The wedge-shaped coupe features a body made entirely of aluminum and carbon, sitting on a carbon fiber chassis.

As you can see on my blog, I've read quite a lot of books recently. Some brilliant ones, some not so brilliant. But the point is that for each book I've read, I've actually been able to come up with a least a couple of ideas for my clients. Just yesterday, after writing my post on luck, I was invited to a brainstorm where I gave them the idea for the next campaign for one of our biggest client. Had I not read the book 'the luck factor' prior to this meeting, I wouldn't have had anything to share.
I don't like preaching but here's an advice:

Ok so I've been having a bad week. After a tragic St. Patrick's day and a long Wednesday of skipping most of my classes, the only thing that managed to cheer me up was the most recent episode of Gossip Girl. It wasn't a great episode, but Leighton Meester always seems to lighten up my day. I love her catty vindictive depiction of Blair Waldorf. Not only does she represent Blair from the Gossip Girl books impeccably, but she manages to look amazing while doing it. I have to say, usually I don't really like the preppy, over pretentious look of the some of the upper east siders on Gossip Girl. Somehow, Leighton's pretty prep look manages to work.
Here are a few of my favorite Leighton Meester outfits…

Iran's Foreign Minister Mohammad Javad Zarif has said he is stepping down, in a surprise announcement posted to his Instagram account.
He apologised for "shortcomings" during his time in government.
Mr Zarif played a prominent role in negotiating the landmark 2015 nuclear agreement between Iran and major international powers.
But the future of the deal has been put into doubt after US President Donald Trump ended US involvement.
Mr Zarif's resignation was confirmed by Iran's state-run news agency, IRNA, which cited a spokesman for the foreign ministry.
The 59-year-old was educated in the US and holds a PhD in international law from the University of Denver.
He has served as Iran's ambassador to the UN and became foreign minister in 2013 after President Hassan Rouhani was elected promising a more moderate, outward-looking Iran.
Why has he quit?
It is far from clear. His post on Instagram thanked the Iranian people and authorities but gave no reason for the resignation.
"I apologise for not being able to continue in the post and for all the shortcomings and flaws in the period," he wrote
Unlike other major social media networks, Instagram is not blocked in Iran.
It is not clear if his resignation will be accepted by President Rouhani, although the president's chief-of-staff tweeted to deny reports it had been accepted.
Mr Zarif has been under pressure at home from hardliners since the US withdrew from the Iranian nuclear pact, which binds Iran to limit its nuclear activities.
On Monday Syrian President Bashar al-Assad met Iran's supreme leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei in the capital, Tehran, but analysts noticed that Mr Zarif did not attend discussions.
Iran has been one of the Syrian government's main backers during its civil war. Apart from Russia, this trip to Tehran is thought to be Mr Assad's first foreign visit since the start of the war in 2011.

As part of the "Abington Reads" program, town residents have been reading Steve Pemberton's memoir, "A Chance in the World."
ABINGTON — Steve Pemberton's memoir has garnered him speaking engagements before large audiences across the country. But when the Abington Public Library called, Pemberton jumped at the chance to address a small group in the library's community room.
Libraries helped Pemberton survive an abusive foster family, he said. A South Shore library felt close to home for the New Bedford-born author, he said.
For the last seven years, the Abington library has been organizing a program called "Abington Reads," which encourages all town residents to read a particular book during the year.
"A shared story can really bring a community together," said Deborah Grimmett, the library director.
Grimmett selects a book every year, alternating between fiction and nonfiction titles. This year, Grimmett chose Pemberton's memoir, "A Chance in the World." The author spoke about the book at the Abington Public Library on Wednesday evening. The book recounts Pemberton's life as an abused foster child in New Bedford, and his journey to career success and a family of his own.
He wrote the book, he said, because his three children started asking him where his parents were. The children knew their maternal grandparents, but Pemberton said he never spoke to them about his family.
"I had been so accustomed to living with parents that I did not think it out of the range of normality," he said. Pemberton said he wrote the book so his children could understand his life.
As he wrote the book, Pemberton said, he also wanted to pay tribute to the people who helped him escape his surroundings — like the neighbor in New Bedford who brought him books and the grounds crew who helped him through Boston College.
"They don't need any reward, they are not looking for any," Pemberton said of these people, who he referred to as "human lighthouses."
After the book was published, Pemberton found he had another audience in people who found his words salved their own suffering. Pemberton said he gets daily messages from readers saying the book helped them process their own struggles.
"You live long enough, we all know struggle," he told the audience. He urged the 30-some people at the Abington library to remember that everyone has suffered.
"None of us looks like our story," he said. "That implies two things: every one of us has a story, and you don't know that story just by looking at a person."
Pemberton said he was pondering the next step in his journey. He is trying to use his visibility as an author to advocate for children in the foster care system.
"Foster care in America is as close to a humanitarian crisis as we have," he said, noting that the opioid crisis has stretched an already-frayed system.
He advocated for more investment in foster children, because if they are not cared for as children, Pemberton said, many will end up in the criminal justice system as adults.
"You either pay now or you pay later," he said.
Pemberton also said he is considering a run for elected office in Massachusetts.
"Until I get the answers to what you endure that for," he said, "I'm not going to stop."

It can be difficult to stay away from your favorite snack foods and steer towards foods with low or no calories. One of the biggest issues in accomplishing this feat is finding foods that taste good. It is hard to imagine finding low or no cal foods you can enjoy because there is such a stigma about health food not tasting good or being satisfying. However, there are things available that you can enjoy and still beat the calorie count!
Most of these foods are those that are more water than anything else. If a food has less calories than water you basically have calorie free treats. Here you will find out the top 20 zero and negative calorie foods that you can enjoy on your way to losing weight and living a healthier lifestyle.
1: Celery
Celery has always been well-known as a perfect weight loss food. The reason for this is that it is made up of an estimated 75% water. Roughage and fiber makes up the remaining 25% making it a tasty food that gives the body less caloric intake than the body takes to digest.
2: Grapefruit
Grapefruit is also more water than anything else; 60% to be exact. Fiber is what makes up the majority of the rest of this tasty fruit and that helps you to feel full for longer and gives your digestive health the boost it needs. Its sweet, its sour, it's healthy!
3: Lettuce
Lettuce as well as other leafy greens are also fit fantastically into this category. This food type, however is a 50/50 ratio. 50% is water while the other 50% is fiber. Not only does this make it a very low calorie choice, it also makes is extremely healthy as it contains all the vitamin k and c that the body requires daily.
4: Watermelon
Watermelon is hands down the most popular summer treat. It is no coincidence that the word "water" is in the name of this fruit either! This low cal food is made up mostly of water and virtually no calories from fat.
5: Broth
While broth may not actually be considered a food item, it is worth inclusion as replacing gravy with broth is a perfect way to get all the flavor you desire without all the calories. Broth can be added to most any food making it a more satisfying eating experience without the calories.
6: Yogurt
Yogurt has always been a low to no cal food that is popular among dieters since it is healthy and helpful in shedding the pounds. You must be careful when choosing a yogurt though as not all are made the same. Check the calorie and fat count beforehand.
7: Apple
An apple a day not only keeps the doctor away. It also allows you to enjoy something tasty that will not pack on any unnecessary calories. Apples contain plenty of water and also fiber which helps you keep that full feeling for longer. This food is a natural appetite suppressor.
8: Cucumber
Cucumbers are full of water and help the body burn more calories than they actually contain. While many people peel the skin from this low cal veggie, keeping the skin intact is best. The inside offers a high water content food while the peel offers many important vitamins.
9: Broccoli
Broccoli is one of the healthiest foods known to man. The amount of protein and fiber found in this green veggie provide vital nutritional needs. It also contains only 30 calories in each serving making it something that you can burn off as quickly as you eat it.
10: Coffee
Coffee is a beverage that should be consumed in moderation due to its caffeine content but is good when it comes to calories. A cup of black coffee contains no calories making it a great addition to a meal that provides you with a higher calorie count. Find a great home espresso machine at www.EspressoMachines.Club!
11: Asparagus
This popular green veggie is a favorite for cleaning out the toxins in your body. As far as calories go, one serving of this water rich food only contains 20 calories. It also provides the body with a plethora of vitamins that are vital for a healthy body.
12: Bell Peppers
While not many people eat bell peppers on their own, adding them to other low cal foods (leafy greens for example) make for a delicious snack without the hefty calorie count. Eating 100 grams of these peppers gives you just 30 calories.
13: Carrots
There is a good reason we see dieters and health food folk eating carrot sticks for snack time. An average sized carrot gives you 50 calories or less in addition to being a natural diuretic.
14: Garlic
While not technically a food item, garlic is the perfect spice to enhance your meals and snacks. 100 grams of garlic only adds 23 calories to your diet making it something that can be burned off as quickly as it is ingested.
15: Tomato
Tomatoes go very well with a large variety of other foods. Not only are they good for adding flavor, they also add less than 15 calories per serving.
16: Apricot
Apricots are good in so many ways. First, the calories only add up to 40 or less depending on the amount eaten. Second, with all the fiber they contain the process of digestion is more difficult. In fact, digesting apricots takes enough energy that the calories it contains are burned off just through this process.
17: Cabbage
Cabbage is high on the list of the best foods for losing weight. This vegetable provides you with only 25 calories per serving and these are burnt away faster than they can be eaten.
18: Beets
Beets are yet another veggie that provides a low cal experience. One serving contains just 43 calories and the antioxidants are thought to slow down the aging process.
19: Kale
Instead of grabbing a bag of potato chips, go for kale chips. This snack provides great taste with just 23 calories per serving.
20: Cauliflower
Cauliflower is a close match to broccoli. The calories are very low and most of them are burned away when this food is cooked.
Find Something You liked?
Reading in some part, now it's time to incorporate some of the tasty negative and zero calorie foods above into your daily eating routine and then watch the weight drop off!

So, the new research on sex education shows that if y'all bother to teach us the real facts of sex education, we tend to be more responsible about sex and even to wait longer before we start. So, of course the right wingers prefer not to teach us and just hope we do what they think is right. Smart? NO! But it lets them bury their head in the sand so more teens can get sexually transmitted diseases and become pregnant.
This is what CarpetbaggerReport says about it:
The WaPo reported the other day that at least 14 states have "either notified the federal government that they will no longer be requesting [sex education] funds or are not expected to apply," because the Bush administration mandates abstinence-only lessons in public schools receiving the funding.
"We're concerned about this," said Stan Koutstaal of the Department of Health and Human Services, which runs the program. "My greatest concern about states dropping out is that these are valuable services and programs. It's the youths in these states who are missing out."
Actually, that's backwards. The youths are better off with actual sex-ed.
Teenagers who have had formal sex education are far more likely to put off having sex, contradicting earlier studies on the effectiveness of such programs, U.S. researchers said on Wednesday.
They found teenage boys who had sex education in school were 71 percent less likely to have intercourse before age 15, and teen girls who had sex education were 59 percent less likely to have sex before age 15.
Sex education also increased the likelihood that teen boys would use contraceptives the first time they had sex, according to the study by researchers at the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, which was published in the Journal of Adolescent Health.
"Sex education seems to be working," Trisha Mueller, an epidemiologist with the CDC who led the study, said in a statement. "It seems to be especially effective for populations that are usually at high risk."
Whaddaya know; giving young people reliable, accurate information about sexual health leads to safer, more responsible behavior. Who would have guessed?
And on the flip side, we have the Bush administration's approach.
Programs that focus exclusively on abstinence have not been shown to affect teenager sexual behavior, although they are eligible for tens of millions of dollars in federal grants, according to a study released by a nonpartisan group that seeks to reduce teen pregnancies.
"At present there does not exist any strong evidence that any abstinence program delays the initiation of sex, hastens the return to abstinence or reduces the number of sexual partners" among teenagers, the study concluded. […]
The study found that while abstinence-only efforts appear to have little positive impact, more comprehensive sex education programs were having "positive outcomes" including teenagers "delaying the initiation of sex, reducing the frequency of sex, reducing the number of sexual partners and increasing condom or contraceptive use."
"Two-thirds of the 48 comprehensive programs that supported both abstinence and the use of condoms and contraceptives for sexually active teens had positive behavior effect," said the report.
Bush has routinely talked, in other contexts, about funding "what works." If only he meant it.

Last week we had a great time waking up Mattson Davis at 3:30AM. We felt a little less guilty that Kona Brewery CEO & President was waking up early in Hawaii, but we still thank him for going above & beyond the call of craft beer duty to join us live from Hawaii to sample Kona Koko Brown. Thanks again Mattson.
So what will we be sampling this week? Hint: This week we have eat another brewery President joining us….and he too is JUST about to enter the PA craft-beer market!

Toe to toe that's how I would describe Dick Cheney and President Obama dueling speeches Thursday. I think you know I agree with the VP 110% and I think the Dems have to rethink their belief Dick Cheney is a perfect Republican to speak for the party. He makes alot of sense and speaks in a way we all can understand and being that AQ is still trying to get us on a daily basis Obama should go after him cautiously.
We just stopped an attack in NYC what if they begin to pick up speed and Obama is on record diminishing Bushs protection measure's, well that could crush his 4 years and make him a 1 termer. For the first time since August the President seems to be reeling and I think his handlers have let him down. Have a great weekend and dont forget the TROOPS!!

Edmonton Real Estate Week Recap
Good morning Edmonton! Today is definitely a good morning because we're having our first Real Estate Week Recap!
So many great things are happening in the real estate industry so it is but appropriate that we monitor and appreciate these things, agree?
Three great news caught our attention this week from CBC News, CREA and Edmonton Journal. All of it points toward the steady growth on the real estate industry, not just Edmonton but around the country.
CBC News published an article on 14 April entitled, "House prices resume climb in hot spring selling season". The article reports that according to Teranet, "Canadian resale home prices were up 4.7 per cent across Canada in March".
Courtesy of CBC News
It's been apparent that home buying activity across Canada is being fueled by cheap mortgage rates with BMO and TD Bank offering 2.79% for fixed five-year rate.
Team Leading Edge is in partnership with Edmonton's leading mortgage brokers, you can check them all here.
The Canadian Real Estate Association also sees the rates as the motivating factor for home buyers, with the CREA President saying, "Low mortgage interest rates are good news for affordability as we head into the spring home buying season," he also adds that "This spring should see buyers coming off the sidelines in places where winter was anything but mild. Like the weather, all real estate is local and nobody knows your real estate market better than REALTORS®, who remain your best source for information about sales and listings where you currently live or might like to in the future."
Based from the CREA report, March sales have risen as compared to the previous month in almost 2/3 of all local markets. The city of Edmonton together with Greater Vancouver, Fraser Valley and Calgary leads the rise in sales.
Read complete report here.
Unless you have been living under the rock, you might have already noticed by now the growing number of cranes popping up in Downtown Edmonton.
Edmonton Journal published an article last Wednesday entitled "Cranes crowd downtown skyline as boom grows" that points toward the great effect of the correlation between "proactive decisions made by not only city council but developers and government at all levels."
According to the Edmonton Journal report, Paul Verhesen, president and CEO of Clark Builders, said he's never seen as many cranes in a single point in time. He also adds that "This has got to be record-setting by any stretch and there's arguably a few more to come,".
Cheaper credit together with abundant supply provides a robust and healthy real estate industry that both home buyers and home sellers could thrive in.
Team Leading Edge have provided many people in the city of Edmonton with high-speed access to the real estate market, now is the time for you to also have the similar privilege. Access all new homes for sale in Edmonton through our new and improved Edmonton MLS listings.
