Today was a very beautiful day compared to the past days..It was sunny with blue sky and not so cold..Perfect weather for going around…The past days were cold, very windy and we even got snow last Thursday..Compared to last year’s month of April, this year is quite not so good due to bad cold weather always..

Me and my hubby dear decided to go to Berching. We planned to go to Schwandorf but change our minds..We also had a lot of stop-overs to the small towns we passed by like Doellwang, Seubersdorf, Deining, Waldkirchen and a lot more…well forgot the names…German words and names are sometimes very difficult to remember esp. if it sounds new.

Thanks God for this very beautiful Sunday!!! hope you got one too!!

this was written in front of the church in Waldkirchen..it says that this Church was built with God in the year 1889 and was redesigned/rebuilt last 1996-1998 as their Parish Church.

HOUSTON (UPI) — A U.S. study suggests calorie restrictions inhibit some cancers, while obesity fuels development of epithelial cancers.

Epithelial cancers arise in the epithelium — the tissue that lines the surfaces and cavities of the body’s organs — and comprise 80 percent of all cancers.

University of Texas M. D. Anderson Cancer Center researchers specifically found a restricted-calorie diet inhibited the development of precancerous growths in a two-step model of skin cancer, reducing the activation of two signaling pathways known to contribute to cancer growth and development.

An obesity-inducing diet, by contrast, activated the pathways, said graduate student Tricia Moore, first author of the study.

“These results, while tested in a mouse model of skin cancer, are broadly applicable to epithelial cancers in other tissues,” said senior author John DiGiovanni, director of M.D. Anderson’s Science Park Research Division.

The research that also included Steve Carbajal, Anna Jiang, Linda Beltran, and Steve Hursting was reported Monday in San Diego during the annual meeting of the American Association for Cancer Research.

WASHINGTON (UPI) — Women working as contractors in Iraq tell a U.S. congressional committee they do not know where to file complaints if they are sexually assaulted.

Three women testified at a Senate hearing Wednesday, The Miami Herald reported. Figures from the Defense Department show that 26 U.S. women working for companies like KBR have made complaints in Iraq, but no one has been prosecuted.

Mary Beth Kineston told the committee she was raped by another truck driver while she was working in Iraq for KBR.

”I’m in a war zone, and I have to worry about my co-workers,” she said.

A KBR spokeswoman told the Herald that the company does not tolerate sexual harassment and takes action when appropriate. But witnesses described not knowing where to file complaints.

”We’ve got a problem that justice is breaking down here,” said Sen. Bill Nelson, D-Fla.

Nelson became concerned about the issue after a constituent, a Tampa woman, said that she was raped in 2005 by a colleague who got the key to her apartment out of an unlocked box.

Rules For Managers

1. Never give me work in the morning. Always wait until 4:00 and then bring it to me. The challenge of a deadline is refreshing.

2. If it’s really a rush job, run in and interrupt me every 10 minutes to inquire how it’s going. That helps. Even better, hover behind me, and advise me at every keystroke.

3. Always leave without telling anyone where you’re going. It gives me a chance to be creative when someone asks where you are.

4. If my arms are full of papers, boxes, books, or supplies, don’t open the door for me. I need to learn how to function as a paraplegic and opening doors with no arms is good training in case I should ever be injured and lose all use of my limbs.

5. If you give me more than one job to do, don’t tell me which is priority. I am psychic . 6. Do your best to keep me late. I adore this office and really have nowhere to go or anything to do. I have no life beyond work.

7. If a job I do pleases you, keep it a secret. If that gets out, it could mean a promotion.

8. If you don’t like my work, tell everyone. I like my name to be popular in conversations. I was born to be whipped.

9. If you have special instructions for a job, don’t write them down. In fact, save them until the job is almost done. No use confusing me with useful information.

10. Never introduce me to the people you’re with. I have no right to know anything. In the corporate food chain, I am plankton. When you refer to them later, my shrewd deductions will identify them.

11. Be nice to me only when the job I’m doing for you could really change your life and send you straight to manager’s hades.

12. Tell me all your little problems. No one else has any and it’s nice to know someone is less fortunate. I especially like the story about having to pay so many taxes on the bonus check you received for being such a good manager.

13. Wait until my yearly review and THEN tell me what my goals SHOULD have been. Give me a mediocre performance rating with a cost of living increase. I’m not here for the money anyway.

NOTTINGHAM, England (UPI) — British astronomers say they’ve determined fully evolved galaxies existed 4 billion years after the birth of the universe.

The University of Nottingham-led researchers said their finding challenges existing theories of the formation and evolution of galaxies.

The astronomers said they used the most detailed infrared images of a portion of the sky ever made. The images were taken by a United Kingdom Infra-Red Telescope near the summit of Mauna Kea, Hawaii, more than 13,000 feet above sea level.

Researchers used the images to estimate the mass of dark matter surrounding the old galaxies by measuring how closely the galaxies cluster. They said their calculations indicate the mass of dark matter surrounding those galaxies is more than 100 trillion times the mass of Earth’s sun.

“Understanding how these enormous elliptical galaxies formed is one of the biggest open questions in modern astronomy and this is an important step in comprehending their history,” said doctoral student Will Hartley, who led the study.

Hartley and others presented the findings last week in Belfast, Northern Ireland, during a Royal Astronomical Society meeting.

Q. What is the difference between the suffixes “-or” and “-er”? That is, if one paints, he is a “painter,” but, if one acts, he is an “actor.” — Harry R. Wess, Sr., McKeesport, Pa.

A. The choice of “-or” or “-er” has bedeviled many painters and actors, not to mention ALL writers. Standards of spelling, like those of painting and acting, are sometimes a matter of taste.

At the school where I teach, for instance, we’ve been debating for years whether the teachers who advise our students are “advisors” or “advisers”; for now, we’re sticking with “advisors.”

I wish I could give you a simple rule to guide your “or/er” choices. I can tell you that, traditionally, words derived from Latin take “-or” endings, while words of Anglo-Saxon origin take “-er” endings.

Thus, “act,” the root of “actor,” is derived from the Latin “actus,” past participle of “agere” (to drive, do). Other Latin-derived “-or” nouns include “investor” (from “investire”), “distributor” (from “tribuere”) and “educator” (from “educare”).

By contrast, “read/reader,” “sit/sitter” and “walk/walker” are derived from the Old English words “raedan,” “sittan” and “wealcan” respectively, so they have “-er” endings.

Of course, unless you’re a Latin scholar or have time to research the origin of every word you use, this Latin/Anglo-Saxon rule isn’t very useful.

To further confuse matters, many Latin-based words have become so thoroughly Anglicized, they’ve been taken to the “ER” for reconstructive surgery, e.g. “promoter,” “digester,” “eraser.” This also applies to “painter,” which, despite its Latin origin (“pingere”), ends in “-er.”

Likewise, “arrester” seems to be winning out over “arrestor”; “vender” over “vendor”; “adapter” over “adaptor”; “imposter” over “impostor”; “corrupter” over “corruptor”; “conjurer” over “conjuror”; “adviser” over “advisor,” with most dictionaries now listing both spellings of each word.

Just for fun, let’s see whether you can choose the correct ending for each of these “er/or” words:

1. eradicator/eradicater

2. idolator/idolater

3. facilitator/facilitater

4. counselor/counseler

5. dispersor/disperser

6. lecturor/lecturer

7. detestor/detester

8. dispensor/dispenser

9. elucidator/elucidater

10. burser/bursor

—-

Answers:

1. eradicator

2. idolater

3. facilitator

4. counselor

5. disperser

6. lecturer

7. detester

8. dispenser

9. elucidator

10. Trick question! — it’s “bursar”
