Vancouver will run out of office space in 5 years
Posted on Tuesday, April 12, 2022 in Uncategorized

Tuesday, February 13, 2007

In Vancouver, a 20-year urban success story may yet have a sad ending. The city’s downtown population has doubled to 80,000 in the last 20 years thanks to Vancouver’s “Living First” policy – a planning strategy that favors residential development over commercial. And planners are expecting the population to reach more than 120,000 by 2030. But while downtown booms with people, business is busting. The International Herald Tribune reports that the city’s recently-released jobs and land-use study is estimating that downtown Vancouver may run out of commercial and office space within 5 years.

The ‘Vancouver problem’ is one that many cities in the United States could only hope to have. On the contrary, much effort has been put into bringing residential life back into the city centres. In Los Angeles, San Diego, Miami, and Washington, D.C. there has been a condominium boom in recent years, but these cities are far from the situation Vancouver faces now.

To counter the trend in Vancouver, planners are proposing changes to the city’s zoning regulations, including the passage of more lenient building height restrictions. But because residential developments are so much more profitable than commercial and office space, some public officials are proposing offering better incentives to the developers willing to build commercial. Another option is to expand the moratorium that was placed on new housing development in the central business district two years ago.

Translink is currently involved in a major expansion of the 49.5 km (30.8 mi) Skytrain system centred on downtown Vancouver. Construction of the Canada and Evergreen lines is underway. The former will be complete in 2009, and the latter in 2011.

Cleveland, Ohio clinic performs US’s first face transplant

Cleveland, Ohio clinic performs US’s first face transplant
Posted on Saturday, April 9, 2022 in Uncategorized

Thursday, December 18, 2008

A team of eight transplant surgeons in Cleveland Clinic in Ohio, USA, led by reconstructive surgeon Dr. Maria Siemionow, age 58, have successfully performed the first almost total face transplant in the US, and the fourth globally, on a woman so horribly disfigured due to trauma, that cost her an eye. Two weeks ago Dr. Siemionow, in a 23-hour marathon surgery, replaced 80 percent of her face, by transplanting or grafting bone, nerve, blood vessels, muscles and skin harvested from a female donor’s cadaver.

The Clinic surgeons, in Wednesday’s news conference, described the details of the transplant but upon request, the team did not publish her name, age and cause of injury nor the donor’s identity. The patient’s family desired the reason for her transplant to remain confidential. The Los Angeles Times reported that the patient “had no upper jaw, nose, cheeks or lower eyelids and was unable to eat, talk, smile, smell or breathe on her own.” The clinic’s dermatology and plastic surgery chair, Francis Papay, described the nine hours phase of the procedure: “We transferred the skin, all the facial muscles in the upper face and mid-face, the upper lip, all of the nose, most of the sinuses around the nose, the upper jaw including the teeth, the facial nerve.” Thereafter, another team spent three hours sewing the woman’s blood vessels to that of the donor’s face to restore blood circulation, making the graft a success.

The New York Times reported that “three partial face transplants have been performed since 2005, two in France and one in China, all using facial tissue from a dead donor with permission from their families.” “Only the forehead, upper eyelids, lower lip, lower teeth and jaw are hers, the rest of her face comes from a cadaver; she could not eat on her own or breathe without a hole in her windpipe. About 77 square inches of tissue were transplanted from the donor,” it further described the details of the medical marvel. The patient, however, must take lifetime immunosuppressive drugs, also called antirejection drugs, which do not guarantee success. The transplant team said that in case of failure, it would replace the part with a skin graft taken from her own body.

Dr. Bohdan Pomahac, a Brigham and Women’s Hospital surgeon praised the recent medical development. “There are patients who can benefit tremendously from this. It’s great that it happened,” he said.

Leading bioethicist Arthur Caplan of the University of Pennsylvania withheld judgment on the Cleveland transplant amid grave concerns on the post-operation results. “The biggest ethical problem is dealing with failure — if your face rejects. It would be a living hell. If your face is falling off and you can’t eat and you can’t breathe and you’re suffering in a terrible manner that can’t be reversed, you need to put on the table assistance in dying. There are patients who can benefit tremendously from this. It’s great that it happened,” he said.

Dr Alex Clarke, of the Royal Free Hospital had praised the Clinic for its contribution to medicine. “It is a real step forward for people who have severe disfigurement and this operation has been done by a team who have really prepared and worked towards this for a number of years. These transplants have proven that the technical difficulties can be overcome and psychologically the patients are doing well. They have all have reacted positively and have begun to do things they were not able to before. All the things people thought were barriers to this kind of operations have been overcome,” she said.

The first partial face transplant surgery on a living human was performed on Isabelle Dinoire on November 27 2005, when she was 38, by Professor Bernard Devauchelle, assisted by Professor Jean-Michel Dubernard in Amiens, France. Her Labrador dog mauled her in May 2005. A triangle of face tissue including the nose and mouth was taken from a brain-dead female donor and grafted onto the patient. Scientists elsewhere have performed scalp and ear transplants. However, the claim is the first for a mouth and nose transplant. Experts say the mouth and nose are the most difficult parts of the face to transplant.

In 2004, the same Cleveland Clinic, became the first institution to approve this surgery and test it on cadavers. In October 2006, surgeon Peter Butler at London‘s Royal Free Hospital in the UK was given permission by the NHS ethics board to carry out a full face transplant. His team will select four adult patients (children cannot be selected due to concerns over consent), with operations being carried out at six month intervals. In March 2008, the treatment of 30-year-old neurofibromatosis victim Pascal Coler of France ended after having received what his doctors call the worlds first successful full face transplant.

Ethical concerns, psychological impact, problems relating to immunosuppression and consequences of technical failure have prevented teams from performing face transplant operations in the past, even though it has been technically possible to carry out such procedures for years.

Mr Iain Hutchison, of Barts and the London Hospital, warned of several problems with face transplants, such as blood vessels in the donated tissue clotting and immunosuppressants failing or increasing the patient’s risk of cancer. He also pointed out ethical issues with the fact that the procedure requires a “beating heart donor”. The transplant is carried out while the donor is brain dead, but still alive by use of a ventilator.

According to Stephen Wigmore, chair of British Transplantation Society’s ethics committee, it is unknown to what extent facial expressions will function in the long term. He said that it is not certain whether a patient could be left worse off in the case of a face transplant failing.

Mr Michael Earley, a member of the Royal College of Surgeon‘s facial transplantation working party, commented that if successful, the transplant would be “a major breakthrough in facial reconstruction” and “a major step forward for the facially disfigured.”

In Wednesday’s conference, Siemionow said “we know that there are so many patients there in their homes where they are hiding from society because they are afraid to walk to the grocery stores, they are afraid to go the the street.” “Our patient was called names and was humiliated. We very much hope that for this very special group of patients there is a hope that someday they will be able to go comfortably from their houses and enjoy the things we take for granted,” she added.

In response to the medical breakthrough, a British medical group led by Royal Free Hospital’s lead surgeon Dr Peter Butler, said they will finish the world’s first full face transplant within a year. “We hope to make an announcement about a full-face operation in the next 12 months. This latest operation shows how facial transplantation can help a particular group of the most severely facially injured people. These are people who would otherwise live a terrible twilight life, shut away from public gaze,” he said.

Several groups seek to purchase Saturn auto brand
Posted on Thursday, April 7, 2022 in Uncategorized

Thursday, May 7, 2009

Penske Automotive Group, Inc., an Ohio-based investment group and Telesto Ventures have indicated separately that they are interested in purchasing the Saturn auto brand from General Motors (GM).

According to The Wall Street Journal, Nissan-Renault is interested in purchasing Saturn. Bloomberg, however, indicated that Nissan-Renault may be a partner of Penske’s potential bid. If Penske acquired the brand, they would distribute Saturn vehicles and outsource the assembly.

GM revealed that the Saturn brand along with Saab and Hummer were up for sale when unveiling their restructuring plans to Congress for governmental loans. While the Pontiac brand was originally to be a niche brand, GM had changed their plans recently and decided to eliminate the brand.

Telesto Ventures is an investment group that includes private equity firm Black Oak Partners LLC of Oklahoma City and several Saturn dealerships. Initially, Telesto will purchase Saturn branded cars from GM then act as a general retailer for foreign brands. Telesto is in talks with several foreign manufacturers.

The Ohio group includes many former senior auto company managers plus private financial backers, chemists and engineers who live in Michigan, Ohio, Indiana and Florida. This group plans to initially purchase cars from GM then purchase existing but closed plants due to automaker restructuring. Additionally, one of the partners indicated a willingness to accept some “legacy” cost in relation to the United Auto Workers. The Ohio group is also pursuing possible loans or other support from national and state governments.

GM is reviewing several offers for Saturn. GM has contracted with S.J. Girsky & Co. to advise them on the sale.

Carp Fishing Bait And Recipe Tips To Keep You Ahead When Using Ready Made Boilies!

Posted on Thursday, April 7, 2022 in Kitchen Home Improvement

Submitted by: Tim F. Richardson

How do you improve catches when you use readymade baits that are the same as most other anglers on your water? How can you achieve some great edges very simply and easily that can leave the competition wondering how you are catching better than they are? Here are some practical tips written to help you improve your autumn, winter and spring cold water carp catches!

While talking to anglers on the bank this week it was very clear that many were using the same readymade bait, and in fact were using a bait that fish are now well aware are risky to feed on. This situation is not great when you consider that fish will feed on familiar readymade baits that they have been hooked on previously. The bait used on this particular water was Mainline Cell. I happen to know exactly what the significant product is within this bait that gives it its active effects and the major feed triggering effects of the bait when active as a whole, yet I do not use this bait.

I prefer to make my own homemade baits simply because I know for certain that unless I have hooked fish on it previously then fish have as few reasons as possible to be cautious of it and in fact have maximum reasons to feed most enthusiastically on them. However the point of this article is to help you improve your catches if you happen to be a readymade bait user and have not realised the awesome advantages of making your own baits yet!

One point I was explaining to a few guys on the bank this week about was how to make your readymade baits more potent. This aspect of bait is so incredibly important, yet the guys seemed to have glazed over eyes the moment I brought it up as they had very little awareness of the massive implications of bait potency on a multiplicity of levels. These guys had no idea what I was talking about; such is the level of sophistication of many readymade bait users today and that is a great shame as anglers are missing out big time!

The best way to learn about how to use readymade baits is to make homemade baits made for maximum potency. This way you can learn all about how to maximise various modes of action of readymade baits, among many other aspects of baits that get loads more catches than just using readymade baits straight from the bag! I will not make a big deal about details here but just mention one tip here that will enable you to make baits that much more digestible, water soluble and more feed triggering in cold water conditions of autumn, winter and spring.

[youtube]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EsdGKZOyzms[/youtube]

Marmite and other so called autolysed yeast products have very special properties far more profound than mere salt content or water soluble and digestible protein content and stimulatory and essential amino acids profiles etc. Some anglers might say that Marmite and other yeast extracts are nothing new in regards to carp baits, yet it is how you utilise them and why you do this to get more bites that matter specifically, in this example of a cold water edge!

In the case of Marmite few anglers realise that it is fortified with vitamins, some of which are not only essential for carp, but actively will help carp release energy in cold water conditions and enable you to achieve more cold water fish as a result of fish being energized and so be able to consume and digest more bait. In fact /marmite has so much added vitamin content that is it actually banned from the shelves in Denmark for breaking laws governing the levels of added vitamins allowed in products. This joins the ranks of other foods such as Vegemite, Horlicks, Ovaltine and Farleys Rusks which are well known nutritional products anyway even without added extra vitamins!

The ingredient lists of all these make fascinating reading when you are looking for feeding triggers and biologically active substances to stimulate feeding and provide nutritional value too. There is good reason why all those B vitamins are included alongside the yeast extract, loads of salt, vegetable extract, spice extracts and celery extract. There are many parts of these that improve metabolism and boosting metabolism in cold water carp is vital in order to get fish to feed!

I could really go into detail about the significance of the celery extract, and certain spice extracts used and the significance of the salt levels included. However one thing you do not see on the level is the level of glutamate in Marmite and other yeast extracts, which contribute greatly to feed triggering impacts on carp and intensify flavours greatly.

I could say so much about the salt in terms of water reactions and reactions and water and solution activity within baits and the water column but here what I want to mention is the hidden internal impacts that Marmite has upon the digestive system and bait throughput once inside fish, because this aspect of cold water baits is absolutely a huge edge!

Marmite is primarily a predigested product based on a beer brewing bye product. It is related in many ways to such well known carp bait additives as corn steep liquor and the old favourite, malt extract. All these and more are absolutely ideal for cold water baits and in fact very many so called flavours or flavour components are also related to fermentation processes or are bye products of various brewing techniques of various materials.

Well the tip I am going to give you is simply to make a mixture of corn steep liquor powder added to Marmite or other yeast extract. Simply add enough corn steep liquor powder to your yeast extract to make a paste.

I personally might also add high potency honey as this has many important properties, practical impacts and stimulatory impacts. Black strap molasses or molasses meal are also very good additives if you want you bait to have more longer lasting taste intensity and stimulate the palatial receptors in the mouths of carp to induce even more prolonged consumption of baits and so get more bites. The levels to use are totally up to you as you can use this simple example for a myriad of purposes. You can take this example as a basic starting point and make some very potent can complex baits adding more potent substances as you grow in your awareness and develop more along your bait making path!

You might use your bait soak in many various concentrations and in many different variations such as using it as a very thick bait soak to very effectively and quickly differentiate your readymade bait from those the herd are using. I talk more about such things in my Bait Kitchen on CC Moore TV (on their website front page,) and also in my regular Crafty Carper monthly bait column. You might also use your paste as a bait wrap too and even make your paste, and use it in PVA bags alongside your broken readymade baits soaked in your special liquid yeast mixture.

I like to use Phillips yeast mixture too even though the formula has changed somewhat since the days when PYM baits were very well known and even used by people such as Kevin Maddocks.

Fine seaweed powders are great for cold water too as are crunchy kelp and liquid kelp complex for example, from CC Moore.

Phillips yeast mixture can be obtained through pet food suppliers and pet shops etc. One thing I like to add to versions of my winter paste is cantaxanthin. This is a red pigment that has cumulative internal impacts on carp that makes them feed more and more enthusiastically on your baits when introduced and fed on regularly and it is a real edge.

For more great details on how to get the edge over your fellow readymade bait users think ahead!

What Skills A Good Translator Should Have?

Posted on Saturday, April 2, 2022 in Communication Skills Training

what skills a good translator should have?

by

Carmen

Most translation theorists agree that translation is understood as a transfer process from a foreign language–or a second language–to the mother tongue. However, market requirements are increasingly demanding that translators transfer texts to a target language that is not their mother tongue, but a foreign language. This is what Newmark calls \”service translation.\”

[youtube]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DaWBpeaRmew[/youtube]

This fact makes the translating process a harder task, sometimes resulting in a mediocre output that should undoubtedly be revised and post-edited before delivery to the client. Through experience I have learned that the consequences of wrong translations can be catastrophic–especially if done by laypersons–and mistakes made in the performance of this activity can obviously be irreparable. Just think of what could happen in cases of serious inadequacy in knowledge areas such as science, medicine, legal matters, or technology. a poor translation can not only lead to hilarity or to minor confusion, but it can also be a matter of life and death. Hence the importance of training translators, not only in the acquisition and command of languages and translation strategies and procedures, but also in specific knowledge areas and, what is equally important, in professional ethics. If translating is a discourse operation interposing between language and thought (Delisle, 1980), we should accept that in the art or skill of translating we are inexorably going to come across assorted and numerous obstacles. Delisle (1981) illustrates what a subtle form of torture translation is: Translation is an arduous job that mortifies you, puts you in a state of despair at times, but also an enriching and indispensable work, that demands honesty and modesty. There are many thorns that can mortify us during the translation process, whatever the nature of the text we face, and translators should be aware of them. Whatever the difficulty in the translation process, procedures must aim at the essence of the message and faithfulness to the meaning of the source language text being transferred to the target language text. In the words of Nida and Taber (1974): Translating consists of reproducing, in the target language, the nearest equivalent to the message in the source language, in the first place in the semantic aspect and, in the second place, in the stylistic aspect. To a great extent, the quality of translation will depend on the quality of the translator, i.e. on her/his knowledge, skills, training, cultural background, expertise, and even mood! Newmark (1995b) distinguishes some essential characteristics that any good translator should have following skills: 1. Reading comprehension ability in a foreign language. 2. Knowledge of the subject. 3. Sensitivity to language (both mother tongue and foreign language). 4. Competence to write the target language dexterously, clearly, economically and resourcefully.

Posted on Saturday, April 2, 2022 in Uncategorized

Thursday, July 31, 2008

Catherine Mullany, a newly married British woman, and her husband, Ben Mullany, have been shot while on honeymoon in Antigua. Catherine died on the scene, while Ben is in a critical condition in Hospital.

The families of the Mullanys have described themselves as “deeply shocked and devastated.”

The incident occurred at 05:00 Antigua time (09:00 GMT) on Tuesday, and it is being treated by police as a robbery. A police spokesperson described the incident. “Shortly after 5am this morning officers from the Bolans Police station responding to a call, arrived at Cocos Hotel and Restaurant in the Valley Church area, the scene of a murder.” UK police have been asked to help in the inquiry.

Catherine Mullany was a doctor, who, before her death, planned to become a GP. Ben was a physiotherapy student at the University of the West of England (UWE), which is located in Bristol, England. Mary Price, the Media Relations and Internal Communications Manager for UWE, gave Wikinews the following statement:

Ben Mullany is a third year physiotherapy student at the University of the West of England. Ben is a very good student who is greatly valued by staff and his peers. Staff and fellow students are deeply shocked to hear of this tragic incident. Our condolences go to his wife’s family and our thoughts are with his family at this difficult time.

Micro-loans to US poor from Bangladesh’s Grameen Bank
Posted on Saturday, April 2, 2022 in Uncategorized

Sunday, February 17, 2008

Grameen Bank of Bangladesh has made the first loans to U.S. citizens who do not have a bank account. Grameen Bank is experienced in micro-financing in its home country, lending money to poor women that want to start small businesses.

Since the start of the mortgage-crisis more people in the U.S. tend to turn to fringe financial institutions bypassing the mainstream bank institutes. “Now is a good time because of … the subprime crisis and that highlights the issue that the financial system is not perfect,” , says the bank’s founder and 2006 Nobel Peace Prize winner Muhammad Yunus. Grameen Bank started in 1976 by lending a total amount of $27.00 to 42 Bangladesh women. To date the bank has made over $6.5 billion in loans to 7 million people in Bangladesh.

Grameen Bank’s first loans of approximately $50,000.00 in total in the U.S. was to a group of women in Jackson Heights, Queens, New York City. Garmeen Bank plans to offer $176 million in loans in New York City the next five years, and after that expanding into business as remittances and mortgages all over the U.S., as it has done in Bangladesh.

At least 21 dead after train accident in India

At least 21 dead after train accident in India
Posted on Friday, April 1, 2022 in Uncategorized

Wednesday, October 21, 2009

Two passenger trains collided in India early on Wednesday, killing at least 21 people and injuring more than twenty others, reports have said. The accident occurred at around 05.30 local time (00.00 UTC), when a passenger train collided with another train which was waiting at a red signal near the northern city of Agra.

Both the trains were in the final leg of their journey at the time of the collision. They were heading to the capital, New Delhi, which is about 200 kilometers north of the accident site.

Passengers said that they were sleeping when they felt a heavy jolt. One eyewitness told television crews that people on the upper berths of the train came tumbling down due to the impact: “We felt a massive jolt. People sleeping on upper berths fell to the floor.”

“There was a loud bang and we were suddenly thrown out of our seats. There was panic everywhere,” another passenger recounted.

A northern railway spokesman, R. D. Vajpayee, told the Voice of America news agency that the rear coach of the stationary train bore the brunt of the collision’s impact. “We had to rescue, take out the passengers which were trapped in the last coach. And, gas cutters were used, and we had called the army also. They had assisted us and, within a few hours, we had completed with rescue operations.”

An unnamed eyewitness told the CNN-IBN news agency that “there are many people who are injured and many people who are dead. A lot of people fell onto the tracks because of the impact of the collision.”

Railway officials said they are not certain what caused the accident, but one of the trains may have overlooked a signal to stop. An inquiry into the incident has been ordered.

Trains are the most popular mode of long-distance travel in India. India operates one of the most extensive and busiest rail networks in the world; 9,000 passenger trains run every day, carrying more than eighty million people daily across the country. There are about 300 rail accidents in the country every year, prompting calls for improving safety standards on the rail network. Earlier this month, one person was killed when a train derailed. In February, another train accident in eastern India claimed sixteen lives.

The Best Roads To Cruise In The U.S

Posted on Friday, April 1, 2022 in Toyota Dealership

By Seton Walker

before gas prices increased. However, may older individuals also enjoy driving and showing off their cars. Some people like to cruise in trendy areas in the big city while others may enjoy a more peaceful outing with lots of scenery. Then we have the big organized cruise meetings like in Chicago. Here are a few hot spots to cruise in the U.S

Everyone has heard of Pacific Coast Highway; it’s a wonderful road to drive. This driving road isn’t just rich with history; it is also filled with fun things to do if you plan on taking a longer road trip. Notable attractions include the Hearst castle and plenty of vineyards and wineries along the way. This road travels through Los Angeles County To L.A all the way to the Bay Area. PCH can also be a dangerous road due to its many twists and turns. Mudslides can occur during rainy seasons resulting in traffic delays. It’s important to exercise caution and not to speed when driving on this road because people have accidentally driven off the cliffs before.

If you are into classic cars and lowriders then you will want to check out Whittier Boulevard in East Los Angeles. This stretch of road was a known cruising spot back in the 1950’s. Lowriders are classic cars that have been ‘lowered’ and as a result they sit closer to the ground. Popular vehicles for lowriding include the Chevy Impala, Buick Regal and older Cadillac models.

Another very busy area that attracts a lot of attention from locals and visitors alike is the famed Sunset strip in Los Angeles. It’s common to find yourself parked right next to an Aston Martin or Ferrari at a red light. If you get tired from your drive you can dine at one of the restaurants along the street or party it up at the trendy nightclubs if you can get through the door.

If you are in the Midwest, a great road to check out is Evergreen Memorial Road. This long stretch is also known as Minnesota State Highway 23 and is over three hundred miles long. It also travels through Banning State Park which offers kayaking.

Chicago is well known for its organized cruise night events. During these nights drivers show up with their cars all polished and gleamed up ready to impress. You’ll see a large selection of cars including Japanese, domestic and classic cars. The city of Joliet even features Halloween themed cruise nights where drivers can win prizes for the best decorated car trunk.

No matter what kind of car you drive, cruising is a great way to experience your car while taking in some wonderful sights at the same time. If you like excitement you can drive down Sunset Blvd while a road like Evergreen Memorial Road offers a more soothing and relaxing drive. No matter where you live, there is bound to be a sweet road to cruise!
