slime mold
Any of various primitive organisms that exist in both unicellular and multicellular stages and are found on decaying plant matter. Slime molds are classified as protists. ♦ Cellular slime molds live as single, amoeba-like cells moving about feeding on bacteria. When food becomes scarce, they combine into large colonies that develop into multicellular, spore-producing structures. ♦ Plasmodial slime molds exist as a mass of amoeba-like protoplasm (called a plasmodium) that contains many nuclei within a single cell membrane. The slimy masses move along ingesting bacteria and yeast. When food grows scarce, they stop moving and grow multicellular, spore-producing stalks.

'Indah' | The Festive Collection
With the festive and wedding season approaching, our Autumn- Winter collection'19 has just launched by the name of 'Indah' | The Festive Collection.
'Indah' means a beautiful girl in Bahasa, the language of Indonesia. It comes from a mix of Buddhist- Hindu culture and Balinese culture, often used to signify intricacy and aesthetics.
The collection is full of stunning pieces that are a perfect blend of cultural and contemporary prêt. It is inspired by the famous Batik art and temple designs from Bali. Batik prints have influenced in the artistries of the bold prints in our season's unique print story. We used striking appliqué techniques that include intricate hand embroidery and painstaking corded texture technique to make this collection novel.
Keeping in mind both weather and comfort, fabrics like Silk Chanderi, Rose Silk, Georgette, Khadi, Woven Checks etc are crafted into modern-day tunics, shirts, layering of long and short jackets with draped dresses, high waist paperback dhoti pants, beautiful silk scarves etc with a gorgeous range of festive colours like Forest Green, Teal, Neon Lime, Mustard, Mulberry, Dusty Lilacs and of course AMPM's classic Black and White.
The iconic pieces portray a present-day woman's elegance and cultural roots. These should be your essentials to look fabulous and stand out this festive season!

Holders of this license are eligible for employment as airline pilots throughout Europe. Training duration is typically somewhere between 18 and 24 months, for candidates who pass their flight tests and examinations in the first attempt.

Okay so I wanted to introduce you to my favorite bars – Kutoa -which means to give! I think this is a favorite among most subscription box companies too because I keep getting them in all sorts of different boxes! I just had to reach out to them to try their other flavors because I keep getting the Peanut Butter & Jelly flavor but know they have so many different ones!
This company is amazing… they are up to so many great things, and that is why I want to support them even more. Not only are they incredibly tasty, but they give back more than I've seen any others. They have donated over 500,000 meals to children in need. That's a lot!!!! How do they do this? Well for every bar bought, a meal is given to a child in need in the form of; 1. They give out healthy sandwiches through the USA to young ones to provide them a nutritious meal. 2. They give out nut pack to toddlers in developing countries , this is to help cure malnutrition. 3. They give out Kutoa bars globally to those kids in need. 4. They give out micro-nutrient pack to toddlers around the world to prevent vitamin deficiencies. That's a lot of giving back. The idea came from the handsome Joey after a trip to Asia in 2007 where he saw firsthand what malnutrition can come to.
Want to hear about the product now? So soft and chewy, these bars are sooooo yummy! They are made from whole fruit, raw nuts, and have chia and flax seed in them too! They are all natural, non-GMO, vegan, gluten & soy free and are free of preservative. Did I miss something? Doubt it, pretty sure anyone can eat these! Now the flavors! 1. Blueberry Almond – full of antioxidents! 2. Cherry Cashew – mmm love cherries! 3. Peanut Butter & Jelly – ermergerd so good! 4. Chocolate Banana – love the chocolatey chips! 5.

A lot of the younger generation is not aware of how Reggaeton music came to be. Nowadays you have guys like Bad Bunny who make original songs, but those of us who have been around just a little bit longer know what's up.
If you listened to reggae music back in the days, you knew way back when where Reggaeton was coming from, reggae.
Granted, there were some artists like Vico C who I think where creating original music, but what really took off and got the genre super popular were the Underground Mix tapes, especially those by DJ Playero.
Take a look at this new video by Daddy Yankee "featuring" Snow. Featuring the original freaking artist who made song! LOL. Bro, come on man, that's his song reworked. But listen and get at least to the hook.
Now listen to the original one below…
Back then, and even now as is obviously evident here, guys like Daddy Yankee were basically taking songs by Jamaican artist like Papa San (look at the names) and reworking them into Spanish songs. Yes, I know, Snow is a white dude, I'm just having a hard time finding solo versions of other songs like this original which was reworked into a Reggaeton song.
Don't get me wrong, I'm not hating, I fucking love Reggaeton music a lot. I've been bumping those joints I'm talking about since the late 80s and early 90s! But even then, much to the displeasure of my Puerto Rican friends, I was honest about calling them out on their lack of originality in creating music. I mean, you could play the songs side by side and it would be identical, except for the words and language.
Again, I'm not hating, I love, love, love those old school Playero mixes, and I still listen to them.
That's my shit. But just cause I love it, doesn't mean I won't admit what it is. I'm just calling it what it is. Listen again to "Informer" by Snow, then listen to "Con Calma" by Daddy Yankee featuring Snow. It's the same fucking song.
Again, I'm not hating, but just like movies, artists are rebooting music like crazy. But then again, it's been going on like crazy with other genres too. Look at how much music has been sampled over the years.
It should be noted, I haven't heard a damn thing from Snow in a very long time, so I'm sure he's grateful to Daddy Yankee for this attempt at reviving his career. Snow and Yankee have been around since the early 90s. They are pioneers in this game, so it's dope that he's looking out for him.
I wish more current artists did things like this for those who came up before or with them. Not many of the old school guys are as big as Daddy Yankee, and I wonder at times why he doesn't work with them or give them work. I'm sure he's got his reasons.
I love Reggaeton music, but I found it funny when I heard some kid talking about this great new song that Daddy Yankee just created. I'm a pretty big Daddy Yankee fan, but let's be real here, he ain't create this song, kid…
For good measure, here is one of the greatest parodies ragging on Snow back in the 90s.

A couple weeks ago we read about a tour of the new national theater in Albi. It is quite impressive architecturally and we thought it would be interesting to possibly get backstage. Little did we know that we were in for over two hours of tortuous, complicated , indecipherable, speed-dial French.
I was feeling pretty positive that my comprehension of French has greatly improved over the last couple years and felt I was up to the task of at least getting the gist of a lecture. O mon Dieu was I wrong. The lecture went on for over two hours and was incomprehensible for me. It didn't help that the speakers were quite boring. That tone of voice is universal.
Dan and I could not escape fast enough. Immediately we started our trek thru the Montagne Noire mountains to get to the Occitane and Arabe festival in Carcassonne. We had some trouble finding the somewhat obscure community center where it was taking place, so we stopped to ask for a few direction at a small epicerie. Within seconds there were four Frenchies- all with different opinions on where the place was and how to get there-trying to help us out. Finally we arrived to a wonderful gathering of all ages to celebrate the music of Arabia and the old Occitane songs of the Languedoc. It was a treat.
The next day we were off again to the Amphoralis– a museum I have wanted to visit for a long time. This is a museum that overlooks (literally sits above) the excavation of a large pottery workshop that existed only between the 1st to 3rd century AD. Over 70 potter families lived and worked here. Here they mass produced (by hand) the thousands of amphorae that were needed to ship wine all over the Roman Empire from the port of Narbonne about 10 miles away. They have excavated 14 large kilns, living spaces, and many many amphorae. You can learn about the daily life of the potters and even visit a garden with more than 900 plants which existed in the Gallo-Roman period.

Scientists in the lab discovered to their amazement that unlike the cells they had collected in other experiments, which expired almost immediately outside the human body, Lacks's cells doubled in growth every 20 to 24 hours, according to a report by Johns Hopkins Medicine. Now, her family questions who owns the HeLa cells taken without her permission and reproduced billions of times for medical research.
Johns Hopkins University announced it will name a new research building on campus in honor of Henrietta Lacks, whose "immortal cells" led to the development of the polio vaccine, studies of leukemia and AIDS, chemotherapy and in vitro fertilization research as well as the effects of zero gravity in space.
"This building will be a place that stands as an enduring and powerful testament to a woman who not only was the beloved mother, grandmother and great-grandmother to generations of the Lacks family, but the genesis of generations of miraculous discoveries that have changed the landscape of modern medicine and that have benefited, in truth, the much larger family of humanity," Johns Hopkins University President Ronald Daniels said Saturday during the university's ninth annual Henrietta Lacks Memorial lecture series.
Construction of the new building, which will be adjacent to the university's Berman Institute of Bioethics' Deering Hall in East Baltimore, will be the site of further study "to promote research ethics and community engagement," the university said.
Lacks's cells, dubbed "HeLa cells" by the scientific community, have been the subject of a best-selling book, "The Immortal Life of Henrietta Lacks," by Rebecca Skloot and a television movie, starring Oprah Winfrey as Henrietta Lacks' daughter Deborah Lacks.
Who controls the cells?
The cells have also been the center of ongoing controversy over whether the family should receive financial proceeds from their sale. In June, a lawyer representing Lawrence Lacks, the eldest son of Henrietta Lacks, told The Washington Post she planned to file a petition seeking "guardianship" of the cells.
"The question we are dealing with is, 'Can the cells sue for mistreatment, misappropriation, theft and for the profits earned without their consent?'" said Christina Bostick, who is representing Lawrence Lacks and grandsons Lawrence Lacks Jr. and Ron Lacks.
Bostick told The Post the cells were taken without consent from Lacks, an African-American mother of five, during a 1951 visit to Johns Hopkins Hospital in Baltimore, which was racially segregated at the time. Lawrence Lacks, the executor of Lacks's estate, said the family did not know until many years after his mother's death that her cells were living in test tubes in science labs across the world.
Because the statute of limitations for medical malpractice expired years ago, Bostick said, she decided to use "creative litigation" to help family members regain some control of Lacks's cells, which have been reproduced billions of times for medical research.
The question of who owns the cells, she said, is complicated. "I think the answer is, no one legally owns the cells as one whole entity," she said. Bostick said the cells can be purchased on an open market, "so the purchaser owns the rights to the cells it acquires."
Hospital claims no HeLa profit
Johns Hopkins has said it claims no ownership rights to the cells "because the cells cannot legally be patented," Bostick said. The National Institutes of Health regulates the use of the human genome completed based on the cells, she said.
Lacks was a young housewife when she went to Johns Hopkins Hospital in Baltimore for bleeding. Physicians discovered a malignant tumor on her cervix and collected cells from the tumor without her knowledge or consent, according to a report by Johns Hopkins Medicine titled "The Legacy of Henrietta Lacks."
Lacks died on Oct. 4, 1951, at 31, but her cells continued to live. Scientists in the lab discovered to their amazement that unlike the cells they had collected in other experiments, which expired almost immediately outside the human body, Lacks's cells doubled in growth every 20 to 24 hours, according to a report by Johns Hopkins Medicine.
The line of cells would go on to contribute to significant advances in scientific research, leading to two Nobel Prizes in research and the development of vaccines, cancer treatments and a genome sequence that was published last year. The cells have been used in the research of toxins, hormones and viruses and to study the effects of radiation.
"There are 17,000 U.S. patents that involve HeLa cells, which are theoretically continuing to make money," Bostick said.
In 2017, Johns Hopkins University released a statement denying it had profited from the cells. "Johns Hopkins never patented HeLa cells, and therefore does not own the rights to the HeLa cell line," the statement said.
A Johns Hopkins spokesman explained that when the cells were taken from Lacks in 1951, there was no established protocol for informing patients or getting consent for research of cell or tissue specimens.
"Today, Johns Hopkins and other medical research centers maintain strict patient consent processes for tissue and cell donation," Johns Hopkins said. But scientists across the world have used the cells in research. In 2013, scientists in Germany published a paper announcing they had sequenced the entire genome of a HeLa cell, "essentially putting Lacks's DNA sequence up on the Internet for all to see," according to the Guardian newspaper.
That year, in 2013, the National Institutes of Health announced that two members of the Lacks family would sit on the panel that reviews applications for the genome data and would control access to HeLa cells.

Tips for Top Hair
Hair Damage
As anyone who has dyed, fried or tortured their hair will tell you, there is nothing more depressing than that brittle, rough, burnt feeling of your once soft and silky strands.
Hair has two important layers…you can think about it a little like a tree…bark and soft wood – or cuticle and cortex
The outside of your hair (the bark) is there to protect the soft inside. The secret to great hair health is to protect the inside so you need to keep this protective layer (actually called the cuticle) in place.
Once gone, there is no replacing it, so the most critical thing you can do is prevention, prevention and more prevention
Don't over colour and make sure you explore the most gentle options with your colourist, over colored hair will never look great and sometimes you have to accept that as much as you might want a particular shade, it just is not worth the damage that radical colour change can cause.
Use the best products you can afford and have regular in-salon and at-home reconditioning treatments.
Trim the ends regularly to remove any split or broken ends.
Never (ever) use a heat appliance without a heat protector (we love Davine Melu)
There are many products available that claim to repair your dead ends and rough brittle hair, but the truth is, most of what you see in ads on TV and in magazines is absolutely not going to do a thing for your hair. There are a some amazing products that will restore the hair (as long as the cuticle is still in tack) but they require a professional diagnosis from a reputable hair salon and time to work their magic. New technology offer ingredients that can be like magic, but you have to make sure that you are getting the right 'cure' for your type of hair texture and the type of damage incurred.
The technology of the "Keratin Complex" and its little sister there 'Express Blow Out' offer some of the best repair and strengthening for hair that has suffered for either chemical or environmental abuse
If you are looking for something to do the trick for a night, you will need a temporary boost. This is boost is found in products that contain silicone. Silicone will trap moisture and provide a soft, shiny appearance in your hair. This is a temporary fix to fake healthy hair, not to create it. Silicone will not do anything to enhance your hair when it is not applied.
Fine Hair
Fine hair can be a curse if you don't know how to handle it…but with the right haircut and a few tools it is pretty easy to get limp hair to have some oomph
The first thing is to be realistic…if you are aspiring to Kardashian hair you are probably dreaming, but you can get a noticeable volume boost with a few easy tricks.
The Right Haircut is everything…the less weight, the more volume. Therefore, the less hair, the more volume. If you really want a fuller look, go for a short 'do. Bobs are perfect for fine, limp hair — and there are a million different styles. Cutting some soft subtle layers can add texture, giving your hair a thicker look but be super careful not to over layer it if you are wearing a longer style
If you want long hair but your not blessed with thicker tresses create shape and style in the front with some face framing shaping but leave the layers at the back a little longer so it stays thicker on the ends.
Try doing your blow-dry upside-down. After you get out of the shower, towel blot your hair well and apply a great volumiser and a root lift product then flip your hair over and let the hair dryer work its magic. This trains your roots to stand up on your head somewhat before falling into their flat routine. If you have a fringe, blow-dry it first (right-side-up) before you dry the rest of your hair.
Use a rounded brush. While blow-drying, use a rounded brush to curl your hair away from the scalp at its roots. You might struggle with it the first time, but eventually you'll get the hang of it. The latest craze it the round brush-blow dryer in one…perfect if you can't manage the whole brush and blow waver thing
Choose the right products…finding the right volumising products is really important – you need something lightweight that will coat each strand with just the right combination of thickening ingredients and anti-humidity protection. New technology has turned a few old favorites (like mousse) into the best tool around to add thickness to fine hair. Dry shampoo and root dusts are also amazing for getting lasting volume and thickness. There is no way you can create the illusion of more hair without the right styling aid you you need your hairdresser to prescribe the best options for you
Break out the curling iron, no we're not asking you to spend hours trying to ghd curl your hair, simply curling under the ends of your hair can add some bounce. Again the hot air brush is a great way to get some movement and fullness. Just make sure you preserve your hairs condition with a heat protector
Try a leave-in conditioner…as counter intuitive as that might seem. There are some amazing mist conditioners developed for fine hair. They often have a duel function of condition, style boost and shine all in one and are very light – not creating any additional weight
Invest in some hair spray…once you've blow-dried your hair mist it with some spray – I know it sounds old fashioned but it will lock out the humidity and lock in the fullness
Add a little colour, the textured look of highlighted hair can create the illusion of thicker locks. It doesn't require shockingly bright colour either; a subtle colour slightly lighter than your current hair will do the trick.
Coloured Hair
For optimal colour, yes, it is very important that your colourist is highly skilled, is able to deliver just the right level and depth of hue to complement your entire appearance, and frames your face with finesse.
Its a matter of personal taste and fashion style as to what you consider 'beautiful colour' but certainly current fashion trends are lending towards more natural and believable looking hair
If you stay within 2-3 levels of your natural hair colour you will be the best results…this means no more than a couple of levels lighter or darker than your real colour (what ever that is) As your natural colour changes (with time and age) your colourist should adjust the formula accordingly
As old fashioned as it might sound, your colour 'season' is often the difference between a great result and one that just doesn't feel quite right. If you are a blue eyed blonde with fair skin that has a pinky blue tone, chances are you are a 'summer' and your palette will include cooler ash, beige blonde tones whereas if you are olive skinned and brown eyes you can go for golden and copper tones
Once you walk out of the salon, it's up to you to keep the color as strong as can be…
With ample colour-extending shampoos, conditioners, and glosses making your gorgeous colour last, is easier than ever.
Always use colour-formulated products. Normal shampoos and conditioners may have chemicals that will strip the tones from your hair.
Avoid over-washing! Only wash your hair when your hair is dirty. Excess washing can cause your hair to dry out and loose its colour faster.
Don't over think it. The average colour treatment lasts 6-8 weeks before you start to see your original natural hair, so don't wait too long between visits. It is so much harder to maintain a great even result if you have an excessive amount of new growth
Apply an intensive conditioning treatment 1-2 times a week, and try to use overnight if you can, your hair colour will not last, or look great if your hair is not in tip top condition
Use a clear gloss every 3-4 weeks to keep hair shiny, you can have it done at a salon in between your regular colour services..it will add shine, correct the tone or pump up the brightness
Great hair starts where you cant see it's make sure you eat plenty of protein (it's what your hair is made of) take vitamins (like Biotin or fish oil) to keep hair strong from the inside out.
Spraying a UV veil on hair keeps colour protected during time in the sun. Not just by the pool or at the beach, but even when exercising or walking around outside.

It's very common for a person filing bankruptcy to transfer money to relatives, friends, and other entities in attempt to hide it from creditors.
This is referred to as fraudulent conveyance – and although it is not considered a crime in New York, it is an action for which a creditor may sue. If you suspect that someone who owes you money has fraudulently transferred funds, you should take action immediately! In this way, there is a chance that the debt owed to you – or at least a portion of it – will be paid to you.
We are bankruptcy experts and can help you file a fraudulent conveyance action against a debtor. Do not delay in calling us for a consultation, as in this situation it is very important to act quickly.

The National Chairman of the All Progressives Congress, Adams Oshiomhole, urged members of the opposition party to join the APC so that their sins could be forgiven.
He spoke at the APC rally in Benin, the Edo State capital, on Thursday while receiving some members of the Peoples Democratic Party into the APC during the rally.
He said, "We have some PDP defectors. They are, Henry Tenebe, Iluobe….Iluobe means I have done something wrong. Yes, once you join the APC, your sins are forgiven."
Oshiomhole advised the people to vote for the President and all the APC candidates at the polls.
Earlier at a rally in Warri, Delta State, the Presidential candidate of the APC, Muhammadu Buhari, on Thursday, vowed that his administration would continue to hunt those who stole public money and deal with them.
The President also assured the people of the Niger Delta that his administration, when re-elected, would give the region serious attention.
The President, who was received by a mammoth crowd of APC supporters at the Warri Township Stadium, had earlier visited the palaces of Ovie of Uvwie Kingdom, His Royal Majesty, Abe 1 and the Olu of Warri, His Majesty, Ogiame Ikonwoli.
Expressing his commitment to the anti-graft war, Buhari said if re-elected, he would continue to recover stolen funds.
"In the fight against corruption, I assure you that all those who have fraudulently enriched themselves when they were entrusted with public funds, we will eventually get them and deal with them. We are doing it, we will continue to do it and I assure you, we will not abuse your trust," he stated.

Human-Computer 'Super-minds' Redefine the Future of Work
Recently, the Trends editors presented a Webinar about the impact of AI and other digital technologies on economic growth and productivity. (If you missed it, we've included a link in this month's printable edition.) The focus was on ways that the synergy between human and machine intelligence would create economic value far in excess of the sum of the parts. If, and by what mechanism this will happen, is currently the subject of intense debate in scientific, business, and government circles.
This ongoing, and sometimes loud, debate about how many and what kinds of future jobs smart machines will leave for humans to do is missing a salient point; that is, "Just as the automation of human work in the past allowed people and machines to do many things that couldn't be done before, groups of people and computers working together will be able to do many things in the future that neither can do alone now."
To think about how this will happen, it's useful to contemplate an obvious but not widely appreciated fact: Virtually all human achievements — from developing written language to making a turkey sandwich — require the work of groups of people, not just lone individuals. Even the breakthroughs of individual geniuses like Albert Einstein weren't conjured out of thin air; they were erected on vast amounts of prior work by others.
According to MIT professor Thomas W. Malone, human groups that accomplished all these things can be described as "superminds." In his ground-breaking new book Superminds: The Surprising Power of People and Computers Thinking Together, Malone defines a supermind as "a group of individuals acting together in ways that seem intelligent."
Today, superminds take many forms including:
- the hierarchies in most businesses and other organizations;
- the markets that help create and exchange many kinds of goods and services;
- the communities that use norms and reputations to guide behavior in many professional, social, and geographical groups; and
- the democracies that are common in governments and some other organizations...

Chapter One — Going Down
The large lift whirred into action the moment he pressed the button. It began to sink and there was a gurgling as water began to rise on the outside of the glass windows. The water swiftly completely covered the lift and the only thing that could still be seen from the surface was the sun sparkling through the water.
A crisp automated voice said, "Thank you for visiting the Poseidon Resort. To help protect the sea life this lift is moving at limited speed. You will arrive at the resort in one hour."
The lone passenger on the lift look up at the speaker for a moment before returning to looking out of the giant glass windows that made up the majority of the lift.
Occasionally small fish swim past the window but those were gone almost as soon as they appeared as the lift continued to sink into the deep ocean. The twinkling light from the sun began to fade slowly as it went deeper and deeper until eventually it was completely gone.
After that the outside of the lift was pure black with the only light coming from the ceiling of the lift. The man was sitting on one of the benches in the lift still staring out into the dark abyss of water. He was young looking but still definitely an adult. He had black hair which went down almost to his shoulders and was messy like dealing with his hair was too much of a pain so he just left it.
Some might call him good looking but note that his noes was probably a bit small looking and that he would probably look better if he was smiling. Instead he was just staring out into the darkness with a blank look on his face.
Beside his was a small piece of luggage. Barely big enough to hold more than a couple changes of clothing. It looked more like something you would bring on a daytrip or maybe a small weekend getaway however inside was all of the man's worldly possessions.
On his wrist was an old fashioned mechanical watch, a novelty of ages gone by. The only sound in the lift was the almost imperceptible ticking of the watch.
The seconds turned into minutes as the lift continued deeper and deeper into the water.
Finally something other than darkness began to show. A large structure. A pillar of stone and metal covered with glowing panels. Like an obelisk the top had just appeared and it continued to stretch off deeper and deeper into the water.
The pillar was covered various different kinds of underwater flora which clung to the uneven shape. The juts of the pillar seemed designed to intentionally provide that kind of purchase of the different plants. Small Fish could be seen swimming about them.
Beyond in the water could be seen another spot of light, another one of the pillar.
The voice spoke once again over the intercom. "The giant pillars were constructed at Poseidon Resort several centuries ago when the resort was constructed. They provide a light anti-gravity field over the resort lowering the pressure of the water and allowing an abundance of plant and animal life to flourish. Because of the natural pressure barrier created by this field the ecosystem here is isolated and completely unique. Please enjoy your time here at the Poseidon Resort."
The man had stood up and took several step forward bringing him to the edge of the glass.
The floor of the ocean has finally began become visible. Cliffs and crevices covered in plant life. Vibrantly colored coral and many strange and unusual fish. Several more of the giant pillars could be seen, spread across the deep ocean providing illumination to everything.
Even in the murky water a person could see quite far into the water.
The man looked down and could see the shape of the Poseidon Resort belong him. The structure was made out of the same stone and metal construction as the pillars except windows could be seen dotted here and there on the structure.
Given the size of the structure there could easily be a few hundred rooms, even assuming you left plenty of room for resort amenities.
As the lift began to make its final decent into the resort. An fish easily larger than the man swam up to the glass. It snapped up one of the smaller fish which was passing in front of the window. The larger fish had opened its mouth up into four separate parts each with a set of sharp teeth.
The man took several steps backward however he was safely protected within the lift. The larger fish, content with its meal, turned and swam away from the glass leaving the man to himself.
He stood there with a look of awe before the top of the resort opened up and the lift slide down into a hole that had opened up for it. A few moments later the lift jostled a bit and then settled. The door opened up and the voice came again from the speaker.
"Welcome to the Poseidon Resort. Please enjoy our amenities however you wish. There is one other guest. Please remember to treat other guests kindly. Your room number is suite 35. If you have any other questions direct them to customer support. Thank you for visiting us." Then the automated voice went silent.
The man picked up his small piece of luggage and left the lift, stepping out into the large entrance room of Poseidon Resort. This room had one large wall with a glass window out into the ocean. In the certain was many tables of various sizes surrounded with comfrey chairs. Several beautiful chandeliers hung from the ceiling basking the entire room with bright light.
On one side of the room was a bar filling with many different looking bottles. It was open so that any guest could step in and get whatever they desired. Poseidon Resort was completely automated so there was no person behind the bar.
However the man didn't seem to be interested in any of that. He turned and passed the second lift and began walking toward one of the exits of the entrance hall. There was a sign against one of the walls that said "Rooms" and pointed in the direction that he was walking.
It didn't take him long to find the interior lift which he was able to take up the the third floor. There only looked to be six rooms on each floor so it was a simple matter to find the one that belonged to him. The room automatically unlocked when he turned the handle and stepped inside.
He was greeted by a spacious four room suite. A living large living room, a separate bed room, a bathroom and a small walk in closet. Certainly more room than he needed with his single small luggage.
The man didn't even bother using the closet and just set his luggage next to the bed. With that out of the way he walked over to the small pamphlet stand on the table in the living room. He flipped through it reading a few different pages about that different amenities that the resort had before setting the pamphlet back on the stand and leaving his room.
He wound he way through the halls of the resort until he finally to the restaurant. "Diver's Delight" was what is said on the outside. Inside there was a bunch of tables of various sizes each of with separated from the others by junglish undergrowth.
Each table was almost completely isolated from the others and above everything was a giant glass ceiling whether the open ocean was visible. The entire place was impeccably designed.
The man took a seat at one of the smaller tables and picked up the menu which was tucked away on one side. Most of the items were various fish dishes with a label that said "locally source" and "unique to Poseidon Resort".
He took several minutes trying to make a decisions before finally deciding. He pressed down on one of the items on the menu. A light lit up next to the item. Once that had happened he folded the menu back up again and set it back where he had found it.
The man stared up at the ceiling watching the fish swim around. On the other side of the glass it was a giant hole in the rock with the restaurant on the bottom. On all the sides leading up were little indents in the rocks where the fish could live.
Around ten minutes after he had made the order there was a whirring sound and a wood carved back rolled across the floor toward his table. On the top was a grilled fish with a side of several different vegetables and some kind of sparkling drink.
The machine carrying the meal rolled up next to the table. Then the top raised up a little and the meal was slide onto the table next to the man. With that done the robot drove off back to the kitchen. The man slide the plate a little bit closer to himself before reaching out for a fork.
After his first bite his face, so long left in the dull emotionless form, lit up with the first actual smile he had made since entering the resort. While it quickly disappeared the man began to slightly hum to himself while he continued with his meal.
He was a quick easter making short work of everything that was on the plate. Just as he was about completely done the robot came rolling back with a small bowl with some sherbet and a couple of pieces of fruit on it. The robot once again raised the tray and slide the bowl onto the table before rolling off again.
The man watched the robot roll away before finishing the fish meal. He pushed the plate away before moving to enjoy the sherbet. It was a small portion but just enjoy to savor and enjoy. After finishing it he looked at the desert menu again for a few moments before putting it away and standing up.
He left the restaurant and began walking through the resort section of the building. There was a large swimming section with glass walls separating the pools from the open ocean. However beyond that was a sign pointing toward "Deep Sea Diving". He continuing walking and the hallway turned around a corner before leading into a large room. On the far center side was a large portal which read "Deep Sea Diving" and around it was setup a bunch of diving equipment of various shapes and sizes.
There were also a bunch of changing rooms each with their own locker for storing what you wouldn't be able to take with you out into the open see.
The man had moved over to a small stand near the diving suit. It held even more pamphlets. He has pick up one listing safety instructions. One of the sections mentioned that the diving suits were fitted with sonic emitters which would ward off any large predators which would approach you and that for the animal's safety you could avoid getting to close to them.
He was just setting the pamphlet back on the stand when the large portal in the center of the room began to open up. It was an air-locker which separated the resort from the open ocean. While reading the pamphlet he hadn't noticed that the air-locked had begun to drain.
As the portal opened a woman stepped out of it. Not just any woman, this one was covered from head to toe to light silver scales. She wasn't wearing a full diving suit, more a swimming suit than anything else. She was wringing out her perfectly emerald green hair with her one free hand. Her other hand held a closed basket of some kind.

Recruiting: Zach Faremouth commits to Western Michigan
By @MichaelCaples –
Zach Faremouth was already having a great 2017, hockey-wise.
It just got a little better.
The Jackson native – fresh off state and national titles with Compuware 16U – announced his commitment to Western Michigan Wednesday.
"I picked Western Michigan because they have a really experienced coaching staff," Faremouth told MiHockey, "and it's close to home so my family and friends can come see me play."
A 2000 birth-year player, Faremouth was selected by the Muskegon Lumberjacks in this spring's USHL Draft. He was also picked by the Shreveport Mudbugs in the NAHL Draft. Either of those leagues will help him prepare for his college hockey experience.
"I'm really excited to play college hockey because I know that it will really develop my game and get me ready for the next level," Faremouth said.
The Compuware forward – he posted 10 points in 18 HPHL games this past season – is also a student-athlete at the Total Package Hockey Center of Excellence.
"TPH has helped me tremendously with all of the skills stuff like improving my shot, skating a lot better, and improving my stickhandling a lot, as well," Faremouth said. "The coaches at TPH are outstanding and I appreciate everything they have done to improve my game."

Meet Caitlin Heino, Occupational Therapist at York Region Concussion Clinic
Ms Caitlin Heino graduated in biology and psychology from Queen's University before completing her Masters in Occupational Therapy at McMaster. For over a year, she has been the dedicated, hardworking and well-loved occupational therapist (OT) at York Region Concussion Clinic. She reflects on her profession and shares how she finds balance between work and play.
Q: People are often not familiar with occupational therapy. How do you explain your profession simply put?
CH: I usually start off with what is occupation. So it's broader than just thinking about one's profession. Occupation is any meaningful activities whether it's self-care, leisure, productivity… An occupational therapist's job is to enable individuals to participate in that occupation. To essentially work with people with a specific goal to help them get back into those things that mean a lot to them to do. For example, OTs can work in a variety of
settings. For me it's about managing fatigue, coming up with strategies to manage symptoms, addressing mood, stress, cognition… There's a whole variety of ways that you can get someone back into that occupation or activity. And that's the goal.
Q: How did you decide to become an OT?
CH: I knew I wanted to work in healthcare but I wasn't sure exactly what I wanted to do. So when I was in my fourth year [of undergrad] I was starting to think about what to do afterwards. I remembered reading a few papers that were published by or mentioned OTs so that's something I started thinking about slowly. Also my childhood best friend's mother was an OT that worked in brain injury. And hearing about her job and what she had to do day to day sounded very cool. I decided on OT for that but also for the diversity, the breadth. So within my profession I can work in hand therapy or stroke rehab, or in developing policy, or in concussion!
Q: Talking about concussions, how did your interest for brain injury spark?
CH: It sort of developed overtime. In university it started off with psych 101, I really loved the neuroscience section. Then from there I took a lot of neuroscience, neuroanatomy, and neurophysiology courses. I thought the brain was just fascinating. It's the most important part of the human body and the only one that studies itself which is really cool! Essentially I loved cognition and neuroscience. In the last year of my masters, I had a placement in a concussion clinic at Holland-Bloorview which I absolutely loved. And that's something that really stood out to me. I also had a few concussions especially as a kid and a few of them were experiences that I really remembered and stood out to me. So a little bit of personal experience and a little bit of fascination with the field.
Q: What has been your most challenging case since you started working in concussions?
CH: They are all so unique and challenging in their own ways, which I love. I think it's the
cases where I feel there is something bigger going on, or something that I maybe don't understand. It's fun, I love challenge. There is one case that really stands out, a client with a functional movement disorder. It's such an interesting loop that it throws us. Because of all of the muscle jerks we can't do so many things that we typically do:
visual therapy, vestibular therapy, biofeedback… It will be difficult just based on her condition.
Q: And the most interesting case you encountered so far?
CH: Anything that's different. I love when people come in and give me a symptom, an activity or an occupation that they're trying to get back to, something that is completely different than everyone else. There are a lot [of cases] that are similar and that's just I guess the nature of the injury and of people. But there are a few that are so different. For example, one client is a singer so working on reading music, singing, and playing the piano… that's something that I don't get to do with anyone else, which is really cool!
Q: If you had to give one piece of advice for managing concussion, what would it be?
CH: Balance. That's the thing I tell almost everybody. It's all about finding that balance between activity and rest. Because if you do too much, you're not going to recover. If you do too little, you're also not going to recover. It's sounds like such a simple, easy thing but it's not. I think everybody struggles to find that balance. The best success that I had with that is using analogies with physical injuries. So when I'm talking to patients, using that broken leg as an analogy. If you keep running, it's not going to heal. If you don't do anything, it's also not going to heal. If you don't have that balance, everything becomes so much more difficult.
Q: So how do you achieve that balance?
CH: Today was TV. Everything that I can do to stay active, I really love. Sports, yoga, dance, hiking… skiing is my big one. Downhill and cross country are both things that I absolutely love. I go to the gym quite a lot. Anything with sports and team atmosphere is good. But also things that are a little bit more stereotypical, nerdy, dorky. I like board games with friends. I love fantasy novels, watching movies, trivia nights in bars… Really just any social activities and spending time with friends and family.
3 fun facts about Caitlin
1. She does not eat tomatoes: Although not allergic herself, all her grandmother's sisters are allergic.
2. She speaks Finnish.
3. She is a worm rescuer: "It was such a big thing for me when I was little. I had to save them. I would carry a bucket around the neighbourhood to keep them all off the road and then throw them into the conservation area. Even now, everytime it rains, I always look down. I don't want to step on a snail or a worm!"

Stats Canada: Anti-gay hate crimes the most violent in Canada
Police services covering 87 per cent of Canada's population reported 892 hate-motivated crimes in 2006, of which six in 10 were motivated by race or ethnicity.
Another quarter of hate crimes were motivated by religion, and one in 10 by sexual orientation.
The report said 56% of all hate crimes against homosexuals were violent, higher than the proportion of violent incidents motivated by race or ethnicity (38 per cent), or religion (26 per cent). Common assault was the most frequent type of violent offence.
As a result, incidents motivated by sexual orientation were more likely than other types of hate crime incidents to result in physical injury to victims.
Half of all hate-motivated crimes reported by police were property-related offences, usually mischief, while a third were violent offences such as assault, the study says.
Among the 502 incidents motivated by race or ethnicity in 2006, half were targeted at blacks, 13 per cent at South Asians and 12 per cent at Arabs or West Asians.
Among the 220 hate crimes reported by police to be motivated by religion, offences against Jews were the most common, accounting for 63 per cent of religion-based incidents.
Another 21 per cent were against Muslims and 6 per cent against Roman Catholics.
Young people aged 12 to 17 were more likely than older age groups to be accused of hate crimes. The 120 youth accused in 2006 accounted for 38 per cent of all persons accused of committing a hate crime – more than double the proportion of youth accused of committing non-hate crimes (18 per cent).
I remain contented that the police continue to report these kinds of unique crimes and relieved that these stats show that hate crimes remain a small percentage of overall crime in Canada. Of course, it's likely true that many hate crimes continue to go unreported by victims across the country.
I've often heard some criticize police stats like this, arguing we ought not to differentiate between hate crimes and other crimes. I agree that all crimes are serious, but when one is motivated to commit a criminal act against someone simply because of the victim's perceived membership in a group, we should treat such crimes differently. They are in a different category from the rest.
Furthermore, releasing stats like this helps remind Canadians that such acts take place at all. We have a tendency, as a culture, to sweep such hateful crimes under the rug and pretend they don't exist, perhaps because acknowledging is too disturbing.
I have never been the victim of a violent hate crime, thankfully. I've been verbally harassed and have felt threatened before based on my sexual orientation.
It's interesting that these stats reveal that anti-gay hate crimes remain the most violent, while those hate crimes committed based on race, ethnicity or religion were more property-related offences, usually mischief.
I suspect that LGBT citizens are less likely to report non-violent hate crimes. If someone scratched 'faggot' on my car or home, would I call the police? It's hard to say.

One small detail you left out . . . in most same-sex violence studies I have seen . . . the vast majority of these incidents take place within the SS community, fighting over the new boy . . . lol
I am still mystified by how anyone would know a person's preferences by seeing them walk down the street . . . do you wear a sign?
I have also witnessed the SS crowd hitting on normal teenaged males . . . this may cause some verbal and physical abuse in return.

oldschool, you're true to your name. Your dismissive tone says it all.
Femme, obviously gay men aren't hard for young, violent homophobes to find. It's pretty simple. Some call it 'gaydar'.
In most cases, the homophobic attacks are unprovoked. That's how bully assholes operate, they don't need a reason to lash out.

The study never said who the offenders were. You can't assume its straight on gay hate crimes.
We all know about the gay on gay hate crimes that takes place within the gay community.
Its a terrible study. It doesn't include the offenders stats of race and whether they are straight or gay. They just say "hate crimes" and everyone assumes its straight on gay hate crimes being committed.
Not good.

Since bipolar disorder is often misdiagnosed, you can go into your appointment with confidence after having done your research and tracked your symptoms. It's helpful to you and your doctor. Mental illness is incredibly subjective, since we don't actually know a lot about it. Communication is the biggest part of obtaining the correct diagnosis and figuring out the best way for you to handle it. Basically, if you can give your doctor more insight into what you're experiencing, you can get more personalized treatment. (Don't be a smarty-pants though. Remember, it's a team effort.) With that, here are some terms you should be familiar with regarding said treatment.
Antidepressants/SSRI: A disturbing amount of people take antidepressants, most of which are selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors (SSRI). The way these drugs work, it's thought, is that there is a chemical imbalance in the brain of those with depression. SSRI's work to return the balance by affecting how much serotonin is available in the brain. Serotonin is a neurotransmitter associated with the brain's pleasure center. About 13% of the population takes antidepressants, though possibly more two-thirds of those people do not qualify for a diagnosis of depression. All of this is taking place when there is little to no evidence that serotonin is actually the problem or the solution.
If you have bipolar disorder, antidepressants will very likely worsen symptoms. They're usually prescribed for breakthrough anxiety or depression, but can actually cause manic symptoms.
Mood stabilizers: This class of medications is pretty much the go-to for bipolar disorder. It's thought to do exactly what it sounds like- stabilize your moods as opposed to the swinging effects of untreated bipolar disorder. Again, we don't really know how they work. The observed effects are that they lower the likelihood of a manic episode while also acting as an antidepressant. Lithium has been the most widely used mood stabilizer, though anticonvulsants are working their way up. As the name implies, anticonvulsants are traditionally used to treat epilepsy, but also work as mood-stabilizing medication for bipolar disorder. How convenient! Examples of these are Depakote and Lamictal.
Like any medication, mood stabilizers come with side-effects. These can range from weight gain, memory and concentration problems to tremors.
Atypical Antipsychotics: Since manic episodes can come with psychosis, antipsychotics can be used to lessen the blow. They don't cure psychosis, but they help. Antipsychotics are more often used for schizophrenia. For bipolar disorder, atypical antipsychotics are usually prescribed. They don't work in quite the same way, but are effective at treating acute manic episodes. They are typically part of a combination of medications for treating bipolar disorder. Examples of these are Abilify, Zyprexa and Seroquel.
Side-effects are similar to mood stabilizers, but can be more severe.
Efficacy: When you want to know how well a treatment is working, you look at its efficacy. How effective is it overall? How effective is it compared to other drugs? The key factor for efficacy is that there can be a trend. For example, if one class of medication tends to be the most effective for the most people. However, the most important part of a treatment's efficacy is how well it works for the patient. Just because one medication is said to work better overall does not mean it will work better for you. You and your doctor will figure out the best treatment based on its efficacy for you.
Maintenance: This may be the most important term you need to remember. Maintenance is your treatment routine. It's what keeps you as stable as possible. Bipolar disorder is a wild ride and difficult to control at the best of times. It is vital that you and your doctors/therapists come up with a custom plan for what works best for you. This usually includes continued use of medication, frequently a combination of medications. Let me repeat that- continued use of medication. If you're even thinking about stopping your medication, you need to talk to your doctor. Just remember, if you feel better, the meds are doing their job.
Bipolar disorder is recurrent by nature. The more you stick to a routine- any routine, not just medication- the easier it is to keep this awful disorder under control.
I hope this series has helped you out and given you information you can use from here on out in your treatment. It may also help friends and loved ones understand how complicated all of this can be. We've only just begun to peek down the rabbit hole.

Legal professionals work with varying types of documents ranging from case records, writs, pleadings, patents, contracts and mandate files. Most of these originate as paper and scanned to digital, but a growing number are being born digital. In response, legal IT professionals have incorporated PDF software to quickly transform documents to become court-ready. However, obstacles still exist that are draining efficiency and productivity, such as non-searchable scans, PDFs with sensitive and often hidden client information, and inability to edit some PDFs. A tool that can equally support both digitally-born PDFs and scanned paper documents is needed.
Regular users of PDF software have found a hidden truth – it is either easy-to-use yet underpowered, or feature-rich but hard-to-use. Another truth is not all PDFs are the same and users can get frustrated when some PDFs "misbehave." For example, being unable to select text to copy, or when searching for a word they know exists in the document but search results come up empty.
In these cases, we are dealing with a scanned PDF – a digital document that originated as paper. Having a PDF tool that automatically detects scanned PDFs and applies optical character recognition (OCR) to them is extremely helpful because OCR makes the information in any document to be immediately searchable and editable. And because a lot of PDFs are scanned PDFs, having good quality OCR is important for efficiently working with documents. Otherwise, the keyword may still not come up in search results because the conversion was not accurate, or the copied text needs so much fixing that it may have been better and faster to actually retype it.
Your firm may be underutilizing the power of PDF/OCR software in common time-consuming tasks. Here are four areas where legal professionals can leverage their software to work smarter.
Legal professionals can meet the need for fast case processing, short reaction times to client enquiries and transparent accounting models by efficiently working with documents across multiple formats with an all-in-one OCR and PDF solution. Tasks from document retrieval, case preparation, court filing, and service of process, are all made much faster when the process is fully digitized.

Research Interests
The cellular membrane acts as a barrier to isolate the cell's inside from the outside world. To communicate with its environment, the cell uses membrane proteins that facilitate the transport and permeation of otherwise impermeant species. Dysfunction of these proteins lead to diseases such as epilepsy, heart arrhythmias or paralysis. These proteins are also privileged drug targets since they are accessible from the outside of the cell.
Recent developments in structural biology have provided us with static structures of these exquisite molecular machines, yielding the first insights into how these proteins may perform their function. We provide further insight into their function and regulation by their environment by using molecular dynamics simulations, which we run on high performance computers afforded by the Swedish National Infrastructure for Computing. This allows not only to understand the complex interplay between the ion channel and its environment, particularly components of the cell membrane but also to delve into the details of how these molecular machines harness energy and perform their role at the atomistic level.
We collaborate with groups all over the world to tackle questions of biomedical relevance in a collaborative fashion. For example, we investigate the fundamental aspects of heart channel activation with electrophysiologists from the University of Wisconsin, Madison; we understand and design novel drugs to treat epilepsy with researchers from the University of Linköping or else, we gain access to the molecular level details of G-Protein coupled receptor activation with computational chemists from the University of Uppsala
