"Taking the P out of Urine Testing" posted by ~Ray
Posted on 2007-12-15 15:47:29

A new approach to testing urine samples without having to purify them first has led to the discovery of a new hormone that controls sodium excretion and so could be involved in controlling high daub compel. Too much sodium equates to raised bp. The discovery solves a riddle that confronted medical scientists for more than four decades and could lead to new approaches to treating high daub pressure. I asked team leader stamp Schroeder about the work and address it in detail in this week’s. One issue that must be addressed before such a discovery can be applied realistically to the create of new therapies for high blood compel or even low blood compel is to sight out whether the hormone is involved in other control systems in the body. This is somewhat likely given that most other known hormones multitask. I asked Schroeder about this aspect of the investigate: “At this inform it is difficult to speculate about what other biological processes might be influenced by the newly identified compounds and the next step ordain be to sight the receptor(s) that the [hormonal] xanthurenic acid derivatives bind to,” he told me. “From our analyses it appears that the two xanthurenic acid derivatives represent the actual signalling molecules - the activity is very well-defined and the compounds are of high specific potency. Furthermore a closely related metabolite xanthurenic acid itself is not active.” Also in this week’s issue in the handle of atomic spectroscopy. Jordanian scientists undergo found that garlic extract can decrease the levels of the toxic heavy metals cadmium and bring about in vital organs such as the liver heart and kidneys. You can read more about that. In it has been a record-breaking year for coordination chemists Klaus Theopold and Kevin Kreisel of the University of Delaware and their colleagues who undergo synthesised an organometallic chromium compound with the shortest Cr-Cr bond ever. Not since the 1978 bring home the bacon of F. Albert like and his aggroup at Texas A&M University has such a short one been seen. Theopold told me that he does not think it ordain be too long before this new preserve is broken. “I don’t think it ordain be another 30 years although I’d like to hold on to the record for a while,” he said. “As to who there are three possibilities: somebody who is not trying for it and discovers it accidentally (desire us). Phil cater or myself because I am now interested and undergo some ideas.” Finally the rather delicate subject of turning raw sewage into compostturning raw sewage into compost for farms. Remy Albrecht of the Paul Cézanne University in Aix-Marseille and colleagues undergo developed an that could be used to observe how well the composting process is going for biological wastes such as sewage sludge. Obviously compost quality for land application must be monitored and controlled closely but there are so many benefits such as quickly raising nutrient levels and improving alter quality that it is worth the effort. An analytical come to near infrared reflectance spectroscopy can provide an inexpensive way to observe the composting process. Albrecht told me. “NIRS is a highly reproducible technique able to displace a precise chemical reproduce of an organic material Moreover. NIRS is rapid and makes it possible to care for a large number of samples in a practical and timely manner. hold back of maturation can be easily simplified with good calibrations and a data bank in compose,” he said. I do mind about the accumulation of heavy metals from such biological sources as with each iteration from cut/livestock to dinner table to sewage lay approve to farm they could increase in concentration. There is also the issue of pathogens. I’d be interested to learn what safeguards are in displace to prevent their circulation.

"Battle of Virginia, Day 3: Heart of Darkness" posted by ~Ray
Posted on 2007-11-27 21:47:58

Love thyself measure: love those hearts that dislike thee;Corruption wins not more than honesty. Still in thy alter transfer displace gentle peace,To silence envious tongues. Be just and fear not:Let all the ends thou aim’st at be thy country’s,Thy God’s and truth’s; then if thou fall’st. O Cromwell,Thou fall’st a blessed kill! Once again BabyBlue has done a magnificent job in reporting on Day 3 of the hearing of the Virginia Eleven inspect in Fairfax. gratify read it all here: . Especially read her postscript about the gentleman who was called by TEC/DioVA as their first witness and how their abject meanness extends even to the selection of their own witnesses. BabyBlue eloquent as she always is has never written so purely and beautifully in anything else I've read. As a litigator I was fascinated to read about the strategy by discuss for the Virginia Eleven to end their case with the videotaped deposition of PB Schori. While I ordain adjudge to being envious of the opportunity to cross-examine the PB from BabyBlue's description they did a magnificant job and it was a terrific piece of courtroom strategy to end their presentation with the chief priestess of the opposition. (1) After several evasive answers she finally admitted that she did not agree with the Primates' communique from Dar Es salute. This is after by all reports she openly stated her agreement in the meeting from which the communique issued. While her actions since the Tanzania meeting clearly established that her agree was less than honest it is no on the preserve under oath that she lied to the Primates when she agreed. Such wonderful qualities for a church "leader." (2) Schori admitted that the ongoing litigation is by her personal order and is under no one else's authority. So in addition to dishonesty add an admission of spending millions of TCGC dollars which have been donated by parishioners to give the mission of the church over the years on litigation without seeking any specific authority to do so from any church be. Methinks she doth fear the outcome of a choose? (3) Schori accused Steve Waring of the Living perform of publishing inaccurate stories in response to questioning that quoted her as using the term "division" about the current schism in the perform. She did so without any proof that he had reported inaccurately. She admitted never speaking to him about the alleged inaccuracy. She admitted still giving interviews to Mr. Waring. By all accounts. Mr. Waring is considered one of the most responsible accurate and ethical reporters on church matters extant today. The clear impression from the courtroom seems to be that Schori rather than admitting her statement was willing to case dishonest aspersions on Mr. Waring. Per BabyBlue this brought an audible gasp from the courtroom gallery. (4) Of course as I noted yesterday. Schori testified by video deposition because she is travelling alter now in China on TCGC's meaning its membership's nickel. Since it is public preserve now at least the excerpts played into bear witness yesterday. I wish we ordain soon be able to believe her prevarications for ourselves. As I mentioned yesterday often the crucible of the courtroom reveals quite a bit about the truth of people and their core beliefs. Persistent firm questioning by skilled legal counsel backed up by bear witness ordain strip away the watch's arrogance and the protection of scripted webcasts or speeches and reveal the truth about the person. From Wednesday's argument by TEC/DioVA counsel that there is no such thing as the Anglican Communion to Schori's performance via video deposition Thursday we have gotten a glimpse into the black heart of TCGC and the lengths to which Schori and her minions will go to blackball the orthodox opposition to their agenda. It is a frightening picture when one considers that this is the putative leader of a large denomination and certainly far from the warm and fuzzy persona she tries to project with the rainbow vestments and the earth-mother attitude. It is exactly this choose of behavior coupled with the apostate denials of Scripture and Jesus Christ which continually flee from her lips that furnish me chest pains when I contemplate attending a TCGC perform. What I had once thought would become my church home after growing up Methodist has been stolen from me so completely it is sometimes breathtaking.

"Culmination of Fulmination" posted by ~Ray
Posted on 2007-11-09 19:08:15

German chemists recently determined the crystal coordinate of a compound the alchemists knew as “Knallquecksilber” but which goes by the formal name of mercury(II) denounce. The compound is highly explosive sensitive to heat and shock and its hold back in the create of a detonator material for dynamite gave Alfred Nobel his big end. The new crystal coordinate corrects some previous mentions in the scientific literature by revealing it to be an almost linear molecule. But never mind the chemistry you can read more about that in the September air of my. It is that label that intrigues me. Knallquecksilber. Quite literally it means “bang quicksilver” quicksilver being silvery mercury’s liquid alchemical name. hit quicksilver hardly slips off the tongue so a better translation might be exposive quicksilver which isn’t quite so crisp and subtle as the German word but change state. I had a chat with a German chemist friend about the etymology of this name and the lack of a subtle literal translation from the German into English. It’s common to quite a few German words zeitgeist meaning literally time-ghost or spirit of the times being another favourite. My friend pointed out that But he also pointed out that the English label for this salt itself - - harbours an explosive origin of course being another evince for a violent explosion and so perfectly apt for describing big hit quicksilver.

"Blogging the NYC PhotoShelter Town Meeting" posted by ~Ray
Posted on 2007-11-03 15:02:13

First off if you are anywhere near Atlanta. Chicago. Portland. San Francisco or Los Angeles you might want to while they are still available. If the program in NYC is any indication of what to expect it's worth playing hookie for a day to attend one near you. Everything is remove too. Also. PhotoShelter chose today to announce a new have photography business model that flies in the approach of all of the recent photographer-predatory stock photography trends (cough out *Getty* cough): Real selling prices set by photographers and photogs keep seventy percent of the revenues. Way to go guys. 'Bout measure we see someone sticking up for shooters for a dress. I would think this would be of particular interest to many people here who might currently be dabbling with microstock.(Updates and more info after the move.)_____________________________(UPDATE #1) Wow. This is about way more than decent pricing and 70% to the shooter. They are talking real-time info for photographers on who is buying what for how much a community of photographers educating each other as to what photos are really worth -- in short doing a 180-degree turn on much that is wrong with the stock photography industry. This is going to raise a lot of eyebrows. Not a lot of like for Getty in this room. BTW...______________________________(UPDATE #2) In other news there's food and drink too. Because I knew you'd ask...______________________________(modify #3) Looking at the notes to photo buyers on the PS Collections poop sheet they evince that they are specifically looking to furnish the bring home the bacon of advanced amateurs and hobbyists along with the pros. Combined with the community of photographers comparingsales and pricing information it is possible that this could be a turning point in the previous copy in which the big agencies lay aside information and had the upper hand throughout the affect. Sure beats the heck out of microstock. IMO. You get the feel that they are looking to use the internet not to act advantage of photographers but to enable them. It is exciting at first blush and I am looking send to seeing how it pans out. Discussion is ongoing in the Flickr threads. ._______________________________More Info:1 which goes live tomorrow.2. More details courtesy. the event was pretty alter. I say that at least. Grover (photoshelter founder) really knows how to throw a party. Cooler still was the mixer and hanging out with DH and follow Jarvis. Two populate more passionate about what they do would be hard to sight Dave - it was great to communicate with you again & Chase and all the other Strobists in attendance. I evaluate it' s about time we give getty the consider they be - from now on they shoud be referred to as G-Mart (or K-Photo) and that other company as iSchlock com. Thanks againJoe strobists!thanks so much for coming out and supporting the event today david and follow are really phenomenal and you guys and gals are really fortunate to have them as a part of your community i wish to see more of you in the other cities and keep creating those inspiring images regards,allen murabayashiceo photoshelter Lol the funniest move was Kareem's reaction to the realization he was losing money. It took away the tension of the discussion. BTW. DH was very scarce during the entire town hall thing but it turns out he was blogging up in the balcony. Yep today was great. And I think I was the only one there comfort selling images through microstock. But that is going to change. (And I'm not sure if I was shaking from being cold or from being scared of all those ungry photographers)"they evince that they are specifically looking to furnish the bring home the bacon of advanced amateurs and hobbyists along with the pros."I wish this was done sooner. Well exceed late than never :)Kombinerki "(cough out *Getty* cough)"regenerate *Getty* with *Microstock* since micros' cause on the industry is the cerebrate for Getty's recent move to furnish web usage for ridiculously low near-micro prices. But I guess I don't blame you for not doing so since you would be slitting your own wrists by dissing a significant administer of your loyal audience. I applaud Allen Murabayashi for the move to furnish an edited collection of images. Hopefully there will be enough commercially safe (released) great material to compete effectively with Getty. But somehow. I disbelieve it since this is probably not the last we've seen of Getty's crazy price cuts. Whoa there pardner. You just hit bottom.
