What are the Character Strengths of Obama & Romney? | Character ...

Who is more curious ? Barack Obama or Mitt Romney?

Is it Romney or Obama who is perceived to be more brave, more honest, or more creative?

Who?s the stronger team-player: Joe Biden or Paul Ryan?

Each of the strengths noted are important attributes of our character. What do you think? Let your voice be heard ? nominate the strengths of each candidate at the VIA Presidential Caucus poll.

Unfortunately, character has traditionally been viewed in a very limited way over the decades. Political, religious, and educational institutions frequently stake claim on 2-5 characteristics deemed to be most important and then attempt to impose these on congregants, students, and others. Common traits typically focused upon include responsibility, honesty, respect, integrity, and kindness.

Recently, character has been put to the rigors of science and scientists have delivered. Following rigorous investigation and scientific analyses over a three-year period, a classification and measurement tool emerged. The resulting 24 character strengths continue to be studied by researchers around the world and practitioners from multiple disciplines.

Now, back to the politics?.

Across the United States, citizens and politicians are engaging in vigorous debates about who should be our next president. Yet, despite all of the time spent discussing the candidates? positions on the issues, according to an Associated Press-Ipsos poll, it is character that matters most when choosing a president.

And character does not take center-stage. What takes center-stage are attack ads, comments about the failings of the other candidate, self-promotion, and glorious proclamations.

Who are these four men really? What strengths are really at their core?

You can take action to contribute to this meaningful discussion. Take the VIA Presidential Caucus poll. In less than 5 minutes, you?ll have the chance to identify those character strengths that you believe are most essential in a great President, as well as identify those strengths you believe are strongest in the current Presidential and Vice-Presidential candidates. This unique poll comes from a non-profit, non-partisan organization, the VIA Institute on Character.

In a future entry, I will share with you the results of the poll.

Your Smart Guidebook To Employing An Excellent Real Estate Agent

Purchasing and promoting a house is most likely one of the biggest financial transactions you will make in your own life, and it is not one that ought to be taken lightly. An excellent deal of planning and consideration should go in to the procedure, no matter whether or not you are buying or selling, and having an excellent realtor is one of the most practical things that can be done to make sure the whole sale goes without problems. However, discovering an excellent realtor isn?t usually the easiest thing to do, so we?re here to help you with some simple pointers that can help make your search for a realtor a lot easier.

To start with, the most important factor to bear in mind when selecting a realtor is locating one that you trust to do the work adequately while getting you the best deal possible. They must be well-informed as to what state of the present property market in the area, and be able to accurately predict future market fluctuations.

Secondly, there?s the issue of commission. A 6% commission is the recognized standard, but it is important to remember that everything is negotiable -however, if you?re a shrewd negotiator, you may not need a realtor in the first place! The reason commission is essential, although, is that some realtors will not keep a house in the marketplace as long as possible to get the maximum sale price. An extra $20,000 on the sale price does not translate into a much larger commission for them, so ensure that your real estate agent has your best interests at heart.

Finally, it is extremely useful to locate a realtor that you can really get along with. You?re going to be spending a fair amount of time with them over the course of the sale, so you need to make certain that you will not get frustrated with them.

Frequently, one of the best solutions to locate a good realtor is to speak to friends and neighbours who own real property in your area. If they?ve had an excellent experience with their realtor, they are generally quite pleased to provide you a reference to get in touch with them. If that is not a choice, then another option is to find someone who has been frequently rewarded by their broker agent for excellent customer service and sales achievements.

Please contact us at any of our real estate investment websites for more information on this interesting topic. All the best in your search!

Immune cells of the blood might replace dysfunctional brain cells

Monday, October 22, 2012

The immune system is comprised of multiple cell types each capable of specialized functions to protect the body from invading pathogens and promote tissue repair after injury. One cell type, known as monocytes, circulates throughout the organism in the blood and enters tissues to actively phagocytose (eat!) foreign cells and assist in tissue healing. While monocytes can freely enter most bodily tissues, the healthy, normal brain is different as it is sequestered from circulating blood by a tight network of cells known as the blood brain barrier. Thus, the brain must maintain a highly specialized, resident immune cell, known as microglia, to remove harmful invaders and respond to tissue damage.

In certain situations, such as during disease, monocytes can enter the brain and also contribute to tissue repair or disease progression. However, the potential for monocytes to actively replace old or injured microglia is under considerable debate. To address this, Nicholas Varvel, Stefan Grathwohl and colleagues from the German Center for Neurodegenerative Diseases (DZNE) T?bingen and the Hertie Institute for Clinical Brain Research in T?bingen used a transgenic mouse model in which almost all brain microglia cells (>95%) can be removed within two weeks. This was done by introducing a so-called suicide gene into microglia cells and administering a pharmaceutical agent that leads to acute death of the cells. Surprisingly, after the ablation of the microglia, the brain was rapidly repopulated by blood-circulating monocytes. The monocytes appeared similar, but not identical to resident microglia. The newly populated monocytes, evenly dispersed throughout the brain, responded to acute neuronal injury and other stimuli ? all activities normally assumed by microglia. Most interestingly, the monocytes were still present in the brain six months - nearly a quarter of the life of a laboratory mouse - after initial colonization.

These studies now published in PNAS provide evidence that blood-circulating monocytes can replace brain resident microglia and take over the essential immune surveillance of the brain. Furthermore, the findings highlight a strong homeostatic mechanism to maintain a resident immune cell within the brain. The observation that the monocytes took up long-term residence in the brain raises the possibility that these cells can be utilized to deliver therapeutic agents into the diseased brain or replace microglia when they become dysfunctional. Can monocytes be exploited to combat the consequences of Alzheimer's disease and other neurodegenerative diseases? The scientists and their colleagues in the research groups headed by Mathias Jucker are now following exactly this research avenue.
