€6.4 billion for smart growth and jobs – Europe's biggest ever investment in research and innovation

According to Commissioner Geoghegan-Quinn said: Investment in research and innovation is the only smart and lasting way out of crisis and towards sustainable and socially equitable growth. This European package will contribute to new and better products and services, a more competitive and greener Europe, and a better society with a higher quality of life. We are offering researchers and innovators €6.4 billion for cutting-edge projects focusing on big economic and societal challenges: climate change, energy and food security, health and an ageing population. This is a huge and efficient economic stimulus and an investment in our future. More funding than ever before There will be an opportunity to bid for funding from the EU's Seventh Framework Programme across a wide range of policy areas. For example, health gets over €600 million. There is a €1.2 billion boost to Information and Communication Technology (ICT) research, which will help deliver the Commission's commitment in the Digital Agenda for Europe to maintain the pace of yearly increases in ICT funding. More than €1.3 billion are reserved for the best creative scientists selected by the European Research Council. Mobility grants for 7, 000 highly qualified researchers will be provided through Marie Curie Actions, worth €772 million €800 million for SMEs Top priority is given to Small and Medium-sized Enterprises (SME), the backbone of the European innovation system, representing 99% of all European businesses. SMEs, will receive close to €800 million and for the first time, there will be ring-fenced budgets in several areas. For example, in health, knowledge-based bio-economy, environment and nanotechnologies SME participation must reach 35 % of the total budget for a number of topics. New products and services Translating research into new technologies, products and services is at the heart of the package. In health research alone, around €206 million – one-third of the overall budget for 2011 – will be spent on investigator-driven clinical trials to get new medicines on the market quicker. In nanotechnologies (€270 million), the focus will be on research that could lead to patenting and commercialisation opportunities. Around €600 million of ICT funding is earmarked for next generation network and service infrastructures, robotic systems, electronic and photonic components, and digital content technologies. More than €400 million will support research into how ICTs can address challenges such as a lower-carbon economy, an ageing society, and adaptable and sustainable factories. €90 million is also earmarked in 2011 for the Future internet Public Private Partnership to make key European infrastructures "smart" New pilot open access for environment research results Environment research projects will get about €205 million. The Commission is introducing this year steps to speed up sharing of environmental research results: beneficiaries of EU grants will commit to making freely available – after a certain embargo period - publications arising from their research. Background The budget for the Seventh Framework Programme calls for proposals in 2011 is €6.4 billion, up 12% in comparison to 2010 (€5.7 billion) and 30% in comparison to 2009 (€4.9 billion). The Seventh Framework Programme is the largest single research programme in the world, with a budget of more than € 50.5 billion, excluding Euratom - for 2007-2013. By adopting the Europe 2020 strategy, Europe's political leaders have put research and innovation at the top of the European political agenda, making it the cornerstone of investment in sustainable growth and jobs. The calls for proposals announced today will feed in to Europe's Innovation Union Flagship, which Commissioner Geoghegan-Quinn will launch in autumn 2010. This initiative is central to the Europe 2020 Strategy, and aims to boost the whole innovation chain from research to retail, by marrying world-class science with an innovation economy or i-conomy. It will remove bottlenecks which hamper a single market in innovation and which prevent Europe competing as well as it should with the US and others. It will also introduce Innovation Partnerships bringing together the main actors in key areas and aiming to strike the right balance between collaboration and competition.

Study Rationale:
As epidemiological research has shown negative effects of high egg consumption on increased all-cause mortality and diabetes and on diabetes outcomes, and egg modification may modulate their effects on diseases risks, it is important to test the effect of eggs with different composition on markers associated with dyslipidemia, dysglycemia and inflammation.
The aim of this study is to assess the effect of n-3PUFA (Omega 3) fortified egg compared to omega-6 Israeli regular egg on metabolic, inflammation and other physiologic parameters.
|Condition or disease
|Healthy Volunteers
|Dietary Supplement: eggs enriched Omega-3
|Not Applicable
First endpoint:
To assess the effect of high n-3 PUFA (Omega 3) egg, as compared to regular- high n-6 PUFA (Omega 6) Israeli egg, on glycemic levels after night fasting and post prandial of 2 egg breakfast test meal.
Secondary endpoint:
To compare the effect of high n-3 PUFA fortified egg versus high n-6 PUFA (Regular) egg on measures associated with CVD risks including: CRP, LDL oxidation, MDA, post prandial Flow mediated dilatation (FMD), liver enzymes, and blood lipids and lipoproteins, and further blood chemistry measures.
Third endpoint:
To assess the influence of n-3 Egg on erythrocytes fatty acid profile.
Study design: Prospective, Crossover, Compared Study Study population: 20 Healthy subjects
Study Methods:
Subjects will complete two study stages. In first stage study participants will get 3 weeks regimen including 2 Regular, Israeli (high n-6 Pufa) eggs/day.

RMD, Kate Henshaw, Biola Alabi, More Attend The Unveiling Of "Disowned"
RMD Productions Limited, in conjunction with BookCraft Africa, on Sunday 25th of March, 2018, unveiled "Disowned," a collection of short stories written by one of their talents, Nina Iphechukwude Anyianuka.
The event took place at the prestigious literary and arts haven Terra Kulture, Victoria Island, Lagos, and had in attendance deeply intellectual celebrities and high brow business executives, select media personalities, and literary enthusiasts.
At the event hosted by Olive Emodi were Kate Henshaw, Ramsey Nouah, Ufuoma McDermott, Tope Oshin Deyemi Okanlawon, Kemi Lala Akindoju, Adesuwa Oyenokwe, Ireti Doyle, Shaffy Bello, Joke Silva, Mercy Makinde, Michelle Dede, Mimi Onalaja and many more.
Speaking at the event, Bola Atta (Group Corporate Communications and Marketing Director UBA Group) described the book as intense and eye-opening and the author as a brilliant writer.
The event was filled with outpouring of accolades, as one speaker after the other had nothing but praises for the author who has been described as extremely talented.
Actor and President, RMD Productions Limited, Richard Mofe-Damijo explained that no book has affected him the way "Disowned" did, saying the issues in the book are profoundly deep and troubling and should make everybody stand up and say no institutionalized silence when it comes to sexual violence against women and children.
The author, Nina Anyianuka, told the 9 year journey to "Disowned" and broke down as she recalled her experiences speaking to young girls who had been sexually violated. A Creative and Style Director, this debut author has her hand in a lot of pies and will soon be staring in a new TV Series.
"Disowned" is published by BookCraft Africa and can be bought from Terra Kulture, VI, Jazz Hole, Ikoyi, Lanterna VI, Quintessence, Parkview Ikoyi, etc.

Big week over at Le Grove HQ. Did I take it too far? Maybe. Did I speak the truth as I see it? Absolutely. I'll never apologise for that.
Then I read Ian Wright saying Wenger looked like he'd tapped out.
"He didn't say to me: 'I'm leaving at the end of the season' but … I just get the impression in him and looking at him that's it. I think that's it. He actually mentioned when we were talking that he's coming to the end. I've never heard him say that.
"He looked winded, like someone has whopped him in the stomach. Do I feel he will go at the end of the season? I think he will. The players have let him down badly. If he does leave at the end of the season, there will be a lot of changes.
"They should have a long, hard look at themselves. He has been so faithful to his team. It has been misplaced."
I mean, I feel bad when I read it like that, but look, this has been a damn long time coming if it's real and not yet more spin that'll lead to chants of 'one Arsene Wenger' tomorrow.
I also felt bad for going too far with the critique of John Cross. He's a Gooner who has to do things he doesn't want to because he's a journo. I understand that. Sometimes I have to market products I don't want to. That's life. I just find it all a bit depressing because fans fall for his press releases. I'm sorry for taking it too far, but not in a way that shows weakness.
However, I do not apologise for calling him out on his latte comments (because they aren't even hipster or elite. Try calling the fans Raindrop Cake eating mugs or Kale snorters if you want to be mean), nor do I apologise for attacking his 'the board are baffled' comments. You know that was a nonsense and so do all the fans who read your work religiously.
I'll never apologise for the narrative. I'm right. I know the game. I work across sport, media and advertising. I know how bloggers, tweeters, explayers and journos are paid off with access and nice things.
However, it's pretty clear this is about Stan and Arsene. That's the powerplay we can't control. Our manager is one of the greatest, no doubt. I love him like you all do. I just can't stand his reluctance to end the regime and duck out. I can't stand that Stan just can't quit Arsene.
I remember Wenger once telling a story about when he was a player. He asked the owner of Strasbourg to tell him when the game was up. When it was, at 33, the owner told him. Wenger said he was thankful for that.
All I'm doing is telling Wenger the game is up. It is. I feel for him, because he's like an old boxer being asked to retire the gloves. I don't feel for him on a pragmatic level, because it's over. I won't apologise for calling him out as a dated dinosaur because he is. I just wish he'd duck out on his own terms, rather than wait for the fans to run him out… because that's the way it's going. I don't want anyone to be sad, but come on, this is real life, he'll leave the job with £100m more than me and you.
Wenger is done. Accept it. It's the circle of life. It's the Steve Jobs speech about death and renewal. It is not a moment to worry about. Allegri can map the future. Simeone can do the same. Sarri of Napoli, Sampaoli of Sevilla, Tuchel of Dortmund and the sublime Jardim of Monaco are all there ready if the Juve man says no.
Future success is NOT guaranteed. No one asked for it to be. But it will be brighter. Give me 5 years with 5 managers over 5 predictably bland ones with Wenger at the helm. Progress will be bumpy, but as long as it's smart, aggressive and pointing to a north star we can all get excited about, I'll be happy.
I love Arsenal. I want to see us fulfil our potential. I'm desperate for the next chapter.
Anyway, it's that time of the week where you SHUT UP AND SUPPORT THE LADS.
Before I go. The fans were on my back about the Wenger / Spurs comment. I don't know where the original view came from that Wenger didn't compare Arsenal fans with Spurs fans, but I can imagine. My point here is simple. When you are the coach of Arsenal, you do not compare our fans to Spurs fans. You do not ever put yourself in a position where that can happen.
Wenger did that, in my view, on purpose, because it shifted the narrative. I've watched the video, I've read the press… it's clear he said it. Comments like this ALWAYS happen when he's under pressure and we always blame translation.
'No Pedro, if you listen to the way he exhales on the 3rd syllable, it's clear he was referencing a metaphorical bible quotation using breathy tones'
Wenger is 67. He speaks 235 languages. He is very fluent. His words are never a mistake. I refuse to believe his Spurs comments were an accident. He knew what he was doing. If you think I'm wrong, he's worked his magic.
We face Hull City who are proving that silly foreigners from unknown leagues can roll over with their stinking philosophies and make diamonds out of steaming turds. Marco Silva has turned Hull around, he has them playing smart football and he has them racking up points. An unbelievable effort so far and one that has me on worry tenterhooks.
Arsenal on the other hand are in freefall. Back to back losses for the first time since 2012. A manager who now looks like he's losing the will to live. A fan base on the verge of revolt.
So what's going to happen? Will Wenger hit up a 4-3-3? Will he revert to type. Will he drop world class Cech for world class Ospina?
Who knows. But we need a reaction. We're playing for pride and we're playing for a CL place. Doesn't that make you feel warm inside?
Front three for me are Welbz, Sanchez and Perez. Midfield of Elneney, Ozil and Chambo. Then the back 4 pick themselves.
Here's hoping for 3 points. Here's hoping Wenger's negative body language doesn't filter onto an already demoralised team.

The annual Poppy Appeal fundraiser for local veterans gets under way in earnest this weekend.
Members of the Cayman Islands Veterans Association have spent the past few weeks organizing volunteers and preparing and packing the iconic red flowers in donation boxes bound for stores, businesses and schools.
"There are thousands of English and Canadian poppies to be distributed," said Paul Ebanks, the veterans association's deputy president.
The annual poppy campaign runs until Remembrance Day on Nov. 11.
"The English poppies come ready with a green bud, but the Canadian poppies have to be put together, but we are kept ahead of that," Mr. Ebanks said.
Acting Governor Franz Manderson received the first poppy of the year from local veterans on Oct. 10. Following that, there was a short delay in poppy distribution, according to Mr. Ebanks, as the veterans were busy preparing for last Saturday's black-tie gala fundraiser to help support older veterans who need assistance. The association was also kept busy recently moving to a temporary office at the Cayman Islands Seafarers Association hall, from where poppies will also be distributed.
The Veterans Association President Andrew McLaughlin said the money raised during the annual poppy appeal alone cannot help veterans in need, so the association has to do other things to supplement the money required.
Mr. McLaughlin said they get good support from the public but as time goes on, more and more people are coming forward that need assistance. He said that is why the organization is constantly looking at new ways to fundraise.
"This year, we had the best support the gala has ever seen," Mr. McLaughlin said, citing the event as one example of the additional fundraising the association carries out.

Geneva Motor Show: Honda's Environmental F1 Car Concept in the Flesh
At the Geneva show we have had the first chance to see the new F1 car by Honda which is a breath of fresh air in F1 cars styling. So hopefully we can see some more cool looking cars in the future that aren't just plastered with ads. This F1 features a huge image of the earth and is intended to address global environmental issues. Good news for F1 fans, is you can even get your own name on the car (albeit very small), all you have to do is pledge a lifestyle change that will help the environment and make a small donation at www.myearthdream.com.

If you're willing to spend money to rid your phone of robocalls, you can now pick from a handful of devices. And one other option is free.
Consumer Reports recently put five robocall blockers to the test and released the results today.
One device is free and was dubbed "a winner," but currently only works with voice over IP (VoIP) phones, which use an Internet connection rather than the traditional landline connection.
The other devices work with both VoIP and landline phones but range in price from $45 to $110, with only the most expensive option dubbed a "buy."
Nomorobo, the free option, grew out of the U.S. Federal Trade Commission's 2012 Robocall Challenge, which offered a $50,000 cash prize for the best technical solution to robocalls, Consumer Reports explains.
Like most of these devices, Nomorobo features a "whitelist" and a "blacklist." The whitelist contains numbers that you manually designate as safe. The "blacklist" contains thousands of preloaded spam numbers that the device automatically blocks.
Consumer Reports results were as follows:
- Price: Free
- Features: Blacklist, whitelist
- Summary: "A winner"
CPR Call Blocker Protect
- Price: $45 (on Amazon, where Consumer Reports purchased all tested blockers)
- Features: Whitelist
- Summary: "Bummer"
HQTelecom.com Landline Call Blocker
- Price: $59
- Features: Blacklist
- Summary: "Mixed"
Sentry Dual Mode Call Blocker (now replaced by Sentry 2)
- Price: $59
- Features: Blacklist, whitelist
- Summary: "Mixed"
Digitone Call Blocker Plus

Regardless of whether you try a robocall blocker, however, don't press any buttons the next time a robocall gets through to you. Just hang up, Consumer Reports advises.
Lois C. Greisman, associate director at the FTC, tells the magazine that, for example, pressing 1 to indicate that you don't want to receive further calls only confirms for scammers that they reached a human being when they dialed your number:
"And consequently, you may receive more calls."

Cardi B alerted the world through her Instagram page late Tuesday night (December 4) that she and her husband of just over a year, Offset, have call quits on their relationship because they "fell out of love," but rumors of Offset's infidelity being the real reason behind the split were quick to rise.
An alleged mistress of the Migos member, Summer Bunni, sent a tearful apology video to TMZ stating that she was rather remorseful for possibly causing Cardi and Offset's marriage to dissolve. The 20-year-old Instagram model was allegedly one of the young women Offset tried to have a threesome with and according to her she didn't know their marriage was "that serious." "I have not messed with Offset since he had his baby, I didn't know how serious this marriage was," the young woman said during the apology video, "I kind of read, I kind of see things. It took until today to actually get into this, seeing everything."
Later on, she starts to cry and offers and apology to the "Money" MC. She also states that while some women would brag about their high-profile sexual conquest, she feels rather ashamed to be part of the situation. "A lot of girls would just deal with this situation and just be like 'Yo, I took Cardi B's n***a,' or Ii'm the reason they're getting a divorce…' I feel ashamed… To Cardi B and her fans and her family and to her situation, these was never my intentions. I never wanted to break up a happy home, to be the cause of someone just saying 'f**k it.'" While Summer hasn't spoken to Cardi since the news of the split spread, she wants to assure her that she's a "genuine person" who wasn't trying to mess up her marriage. "I'm sorry I didn't think about my worth as a young lady," she concludes. "I just hope she can overcome this… I know her and Offset actually do have love for each other."

Grand larceny is a crime that you can be charged with if you are believed to have committed theft. In the state of New York, the crime is defined as an individual obtaining property that belongs to another person and intends to keep that property away from its rightful owner. There is no difference between taking the property for yourself or if you do so and give it to another person. Grand larceny can be committed in a few different ways, such as by trespassing and taking, embezzlement, extortion, false pretenses, by trickery or in writing a bad check. Under New York's penal code 155.42, a person can be charged with grand larceny in the first degree by taking property that has a value of greater than $1 million.
Examples of Grand Larceny in the First Degree Under New York Pena Code 155.42
An example of grand larceny under New York Penal Code 155.42 is a man wanting to purchase a new home and finding one he liked that was selling for $3 million. However, he was unable to acquire a mortgage for that house because his income was too low to afford it. The man then forged documents that showed that he had a considerably higher income than what he actually earned. Afterward, he was approved for the mortgage but later defaulted on it because of his inability to pay. Shortly thereafter, the lender came to the realization that the man committed forgery on the documents. In addition to other charges, the man could be charged with grand larceny in the first degree because he fraudulently obtained a mortgage loan that was greater than $1 million.
Another example of grand larceny in the first degree is a person writing a check for more than $1 million for a large purchase or for charitable purposes. If the individual knowingly wrote a check for an amount far larger than they knew they could afford under fraudulent purposes, it could result in a charge for grand larceny in the first degree.
Defenses for Grand Larceny in the First Degree
If you are arrested and charged with grand larceny in the first degree, one of the things the prosecutor must prove is that the value of the property you are accused of taking is worth more than $1 million. However, if your NYC criminal attorney can prove that the value of the property is actually less than that amount, it can work in your favor toward getting the charges reduced. It means you will no longer be charged with grand larceny in the first degree but may face a lesser charge of the crime.
Typical Sentence for Grand Larceny in the First Degree
The charge is grand larceny in the first degree is considered as a class B felony. A person who is convicted of this crime can face a prison sentence of as much as 25 years. It should be noted that if you are charged with grand larceny in the first degree, even if it is your very first offense, you will receive a minimum sentence of one to three years. However, if you have a previous felony conviction on your record, that minimum prison sentence ranges from four and a half to nine years.

From Cool Japan to Hot ASEAN!
The ASEAN-Japan Centre launched a new project: a Forum on Contents Industry! . The details are as follows:
Outline of the Forum
- Project Title:
ASEAN-Japan Forum on the Development of Contents Industry: Fusion of Pop-Cultures
- Duration and Timing:
Nobember 11 (Thursday) to November 13 (Saturday), 2010
- Venue:
Grand Park City Hall Hotel, Singapore
- Implementing Organization:
ASEAN-Japan Centre in association with the ASEAN Secretariat and Media Development Authority (MDA) of Singapore
Supported by Embassy of Japan in Singapore and Japan Creative Centre
- Participating Countries and Participants:
Representatives from the government or the public sector and professionals from the private sector with experience in the contents industry from all ASEAN Member Countries
- Background:
With the dynamic development of the internet coupled with the increasing flow of tourists between Japan and ASEAN, an increasing number of people, particularly the young people, can readily access Japanese pop-culture. Japanese anime, manga, music, and fashion have dominated the market in Asian countries. In Thailand in 2007, for example, No.1 to No. 10 top sellers in printed manga were all from Japan. While Japan has shown keen interest to introduce manga, animation, game and music to ASEAN countries, ASEAN countries have also challenged to create and develop ASEAN-based pop culture, which has become a growing reality in the light of new ICT industries and increasing number of skilled workers in ASEAN countries. Many Japanese media industries have established working relationships with ASEAN partners in producing Japanese manga and anime as a kind of business alliance. Furthermore business network among Asian countries has gained dynamic momentum to produce Asian-based contents industry. The pop culture should not be taken simply as an emerging social phenomenon among the young generation but be considered a national strategic industry which will generate favorable impact on the national economy in terms of job creation, employment opportunities, and income generation.
Against the above background, many member countries have suggested that the Centre launch a new activity to promote the contents industry in the ASEAN region. This is a new industry in the service sector and many players have already appeared in promoting the contents industry. In order to coordinate with these players efficiently and effectively, the Centre needs to identify its specific roles and functions in the ASEAN countries. To start with, therefore, it was proposed that a regional forum be organized to share the Japanese and ASEAN experiences on the latest issues and development of contents industry and pop culture. More importantly, the forum would offer opportunities not only of sharing experiences but also of establishing and strengthening business network among forum participants and others. The forum was held in conjunction with the largest anime-pop culture event "Anime Festival Asia 2010" in November 2010 in Singapore.
- Objectives:
i. To study the latest trends and developments of the contents industry in general and pop culture in particular;
ii. To examine the elements and conditions for success, and challenges faced in developing the contents industry in ASEAN;
iii. To identify, if possible, collaborative partners to facilitate the promotion and development of contents industry in ASEAN and;
iv. To recommend appropriate programs and activities that can be undertaken by ASEAN-Japan Centre;
- Contents of the Forum:
i. Keynote presentation by "thought leader on contents industry";
ii. Country presentations by representatives of private sector organizations and government agencies from Japan and ASEAN that are leading the promotion and development of the contents industries in their respective countries;
iii. Special presentation on "Cool Japan Program";
iv. Participation in the Animation Asia Conference and Anime Festival Asia 2010;
v. Networking sessions for strategic alliance and business matching; and
vi. Wrap-up session on recommendations and follow-up activities for member countries to consider.

How Will Markets React to the 2020 Election?
US Elections Coverage Landing Page
U.S. elections are coming down to the wire, with less than three weeks to go until November 3.
A mixed composition of Congress could be the worst outcome for financial markets, while full Democratic or Republican control of Washington, D.C. could prove positive, regardless of specific policy outcomes.
The coronavirus pandemic makes the 2020 election cycle and the reaction in financial markets unlike any other election cycle in American history.
U.S. election season has dawned upon global financial markets, and the U.S. presidential race is coming down to the wire. Amid a haphazard federal response to the coronavirus pandemic that has culminated in U.S. President Donald Trump himself contracting COVID-19, challenger Joe Biden finds himself up double digits in the latest polls conducted through October 13.
A second term of Trump or a first term of Biden could have significantly divergent outcomes for the U.S. economy and global financial markets. But it's not just the presidential race that matter, it's not just about Trump and Biden. The composition of the federal government in Washington, D.C. will be a significant determining factor in how different asset classes respond; a mixed Congress could results in years of gridlock, as seen during parts of the Bush, Obama and Trump administrations.
How to trade the impact of politics on markets?
The global economy is showing increasing weakness and fragility ahead of the U.S. elections. The latest round of PMI readings in early-October suggested that the recovery is subsiding in parts of the developed world, mainly Europe and North America. Eroding economic fortitude exposes markets to geopolitical risks, with political threats rising elsewhere in Asia and Latin America. {link}
How elections impact the US dollar
The U.S. Dollar has demonstrated a fairly consistent path since 1980. But 2020 is proving anything but a typical U.S. election year, thanks in part to the coronavirus pandemic and the ensuing response by the Federal Reserve. U.S. Dollar positioning heading into the election is the focus as the near-term monetary policy path appears to be set. {link}
How elections impact Gold Prices
The U.S. Presidential election has a historical tendency to influence financial markets as a change in leadership often brings a shift in fiscal policy. For the price of gold, there has been greater responsiveness to the macroeconomic landscape change since President Richard Nixon took steps to end the Bretton-Woods system starting in 1971. After hitting a fresh all time high above $2000/oz in August, gold prices have settled closer to $1900 in September and through the first half of October. The November election could provoke another volatile move. {link}
Will Trade Wars Persist after the election?
US-led trade wars with China and the EU are likely to continue under Trump administration, which has struggled to make significant progress: the latest round of trade data showed that the U.S. trade deficit in September was over +40% larger than it was in January 2017 when Trump took office. Multi-layered geopolitical issues not pertaining to trade may spill into trade discussions. But a Biden administration may ease tensions with EU, despite having few articulated incentives to relieve pressure on China. {link}
How elections impact the VIX volatility index
Data from the last ten U.S. Presidential elections reveals the Dow Jones Industrial Average typically climbs around an election. Still, it is difficult to attribute any equity strength to an election singlehandedly as an infinite number of themes are at play in the market at any given time. While the well-known equity volatility index (VIX) has been trading sideways for the past three months, the latest readings in mid-October show that implied volatility for equity markets is still double what it was in January 2020. {link}

text: Yet another case of toxic vapors invading homes through the process of vapor intrusion came to light recently in Madison, Wisconsin, where families were told that the air in their homes has been polluted with carcinogenic chemicals from the nearby Madison-Kipp manufacturing plant. PCE, a dangerous cleaning solvent which was allegedly disposed of decades ago, and supposedly cleaned up, is now showing up in homes near the plant property. Some of the homes have been fitted with vapor sucking devices designed to pull the polluted vapors out from under the homes to prevent contamination of the air inside. The families, many of whom have young children, are being told that the dumping of the harmful chemical took place "decades ago", that the levels are "slightly" elevated, and that the problem is just a "potential concern". But, nothing could be further from the truth. The truth is that the company claims to have stopped using the chemical more than 25 years ago and also claims to have cleaned up its property. Very few homes have been tested. The extent of the problem has not been determined. The levels which have been detected are many times higher than the levels considered safe by many regulatory agencies. The truth about these vapor intrusion problems can be sobering. Often times we see exactly what has happened here. The company claims to have stopped using the chemical and claims to have cleaned its property. But, these chemicals typically contaminate the groundwater under the factory and move with it off the plant property under nearby homes. The water then off-gases these dangerous chemicals into the homes sitting on top of the contaminated water. The fumes are odorless, so the people living in the homes have no idea they are there. And, unlike then problem presented by polluted tap water which exposes people when they ingest it or bathe in it, people are exposed to these chemicals 24/7…even when they sleep. Unless, and until, the contaminated water is cleaned, these families will remain in harms way. It goes without saying that even a home fitted with one of these vapor-sucking contraptions will be difficult, if not impossible, to sell. The American dream of those families becomes a nightmare.

Angelina is not looking to get back together with estranged ex Brad Pitt, despite rumors to the contrary.
A report recently surfaced stating that the actress was having second thoughts on their divorce and she wanted Brad back. The article says, "Brad's absence was a painful reminder of just how much she has alienated him since she filed for divorce in September — and just how much she has lost… Angie misses Brad so desperately that she's now regretting her decision to leave him!"
Gossip Cop can confirm that there is no reconciliation happening between the former lovers. A rep exclusively said that the claims are "entirely untrue" and that she is not having "regrets." Jolie will continue with divorce proceedings.

You know that things are going well in China when even a real estate IPO hits it out of the park. E-House
Then again, real estate is actually a growth industry in the booming Chinese economy. E-House's revenue rose 45% last year to hit $56 million. Things got even better during this year's first quarter, when E-House's top line more than quadrupled.
Like many of China's leading companies, E-House is also working on fat margins. It generated a profit of $18.1 million last year, or 32% of revenue. That may not be as thick as the juicy margins that companies like NetEase.com
E-House watches over a network of 2,500 real estate professionals in 20 cities. That's pretty similar to the manpower that ZipRealty has deployed closer to home. Obviously, home prices are higher in the United States, so ZipRealty generated $95 million in revenue last year despite the slowdown in the residential market.
ZipRealty commands a market cap of nearly $142 million. With more than half of that backed by its cash-rich balance sheet, it has an enterprise value of a paltry $50 million! How does E-House stack up? With 74.6 million shares outstanding after this morning's offering, E-House commands a $1.4 billion market cap.
The term "housing boom" isn't an obsolete joke overseas
E-House's valuation may seem rich. Real estate brokerages aren't getting a lot of Wall Street love here. Market leader Realogy lasted just six months as a public spinoff before running off to a suitor. Realogy called the cashing-out deal "an insurance policy" because it didn't see a turnaround until 2009 at the earliest.
China is different, though. There, you don't have a sea of rusting cranes lying dormant on abandoned coastal condo projects as condo flippers lick their wounds. According to Chinese research firm CEIC Data, primary property sales revenue grew at a compounded annual growth rate of nearly 38% from 2001 to 2005.
Homebuyers there weren't wooed with exotic "no money down" variable-rate mortgages, only to be forced to default as interest rates trickled higher and mortgages eclipsed home equity values. China's a designated driver to that kind of Lindsay Lohan binge. China requires homebuyers to initially put up 20% to 30% of a purchase as a down payment.
Living room to run
This is still a young market in China. E-House wasn't even around until seven years ago, and it has grown to become the top dog. Real estate as a sector is far more in demand there than it is here. How else could one explain that one of the stock market's richest P/E multiples of Chinese companies belongs to lodging chain Home Inns
Yes, Home Inns has carved out a niche in entry-level travel hotels, but that's the kind of specialty that would typically draw yawns domestically.
E-House is valued at a premium not because of where it is, but because of where it has the potential to be. When you have an economy that has grown at a better than 10% annual clip in recent years, a nation with 1.3 billion citizens that feels financially empowered is going to want to upgrade to a new home. The urbanization trend in major Chinese cities is moving locals out of the farmland outskirts, and E-House is there dangling the keys.
This is not enough to make the company a screaming buy, of course. The valuation is certainly rich, and even Home Inns took a hit when the multiples got out of whack. However, the equation is a no-brainer:
China + Residential Real Estate = Growth
It makes sense in the same way that banking on Ctrip.com
E-House is at the right place at the right time. You can't blame it for jangling those keys.

Sometimes after teaching an evening class, I end my night by cleaning the dance studio. This is a great way to keep the studio spotless and welcoming for the students the next day. The video below showcases my go-to routine for keeping the dance studio sparkling clean and beautiful. I go in-depth on how to clean the floors, fans, and mirrors.
Mopping the Floor
The Quick-Loop Mop is my all-time favorite multi-surface cleaner. For wooden floors, I like to use either a terry cloth or an old clean t-shirt. I love this mop because of its usability, it's very eco-friendly, and I can clean a variety of surfaces quickly. I find it easier to wet the cloth first and then use Method Squirt + Mop as a cleaner.
In the video, I used spearmint sage made for floors. It has a super fresh scent, however, I recommend you check out the almond scent because it is specifically made for wood surfaces. Maintaining a beautiful wooden floor involves using non-toxic chemicals. Squirt + Mop is biodegradable, no-wax floor cleaner that is specifically formulated to keep your hardwood and laminate floors clean. The almond-scent is fresh, nutty, and not overpowering.
To clean the floor seamlessly, I like to continually squirt on the area to be cleaned and then mop the surface. No messy mop bucket needed. The floor dries fast so issues of slipping are minimal. Cleaning this way is incredibly fast, efficient, and less hassle than the traditional mop and bucket technique.
Cleaning the Fans
Cleaning fans or anything hard to reach is possible with the Quick-Loop. I like to use microfiber cloth to clean the fans because it attracts dust. In the video, you can see how easy and effective it is to clean hard to reach places with the Quick-Loop Mop.
After I'm done cleaning I can put the cloth in the washing machine or if it's an old rag I dispose of it.
Spotless Mirrors
Keeping those mirrors streak-free is important so students can see the amazing dance moves you taught them! I like to fill an empty spray bottle with 50% distilled water + 50% White Vinegar. After shaking it up, I spray the mirror. You can use a cloth, a rag, or an old clean sock (my personal favorite) and clean in a circular motion.
Keeping the Dance Studio Sparkling Clean
Keeping your studio spotless can be a lot of work, however, if you have the right tools it can be much more efficient. The Quick-Loop Mop is great for multi-surfaces is only $25 and lasts a lifetime. Microfiber and terry cloths are classic cleaning staples. Old t-shirts, rags, and socks (clean of course) are great to have around. For the cleaner, the Method Squirt + Mop is perfect for cleaning floors and only costs $5 at Target. Clean floors make you want to dance more, so let's get cleaning!

Tep No combines essences of deep house and dream pop to create some seriously hypnotic flows to back his rhythm-and-bluesy voice, which maintains a sort of airy scratchiness. While the lyrics are relatively melancholy, the combination of everything pans out oddly soothing.
His first release, 'Promises', was a hit among those in the know. It brought to mind a more electronic Lana. We waited to see if he could carry the rep and his subsequent 2 releases definitely indicate he's onto something good. You can download all his work for free off his SoundCloud.
