Anatomy of International Freight -Amazing logistics communication tool.
The International Freight Chart is the ultimate communication tool to convey how different types of goods are transported by road, rail, sea and air. Whether standard goods, hazardous goods, valuable goods, perishable goods or out-of-gauge goods. The chart highlights the route that each type of commodity takes from exporter to importer. In addition, it features an abundance of information on containers, their sizes, ULD aircraft compatibility, documentation,air cargo terminal layout, container terminal layout and more.From:Stuart PlunkettViews:0 0ratingsTime:01:44More inEducation

Arizona Robbins || Running To The Rain || Grey #39;s Anatomy
- Please watch in HD - I love Arizona Robbins and even though the storyline is heartbreaking, I feel it #39;s going to be more and more powerful and give JCap very good acting material. She has done a superb job so far. I hope you like this vid, I wanted the focus to be on her PTSD and a little bit what she #39;s going through mentally and emotionally. Thanks for watching :)From:obso99Views:9 5ratingsTime:02:16More inEntertainment

Latest Mental Health News
TUESDAY, Nov. 6 (HealthDay News) -- In combat veterans with post-traumatic stress disorder, the area of the brain that controls fear and anxiety responses is much smaller than normal, according to a new study.
The finding is the first to provide evidence that a smaller amygdala is associated with post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), but it's not clear whether this smaller size is caused by PTSD or whether people with a smaller amygdala are more likely to develop PTSD, the researchers said.
For the study, MRI brain scans were conducted on 200 combat veterans, half with PTSD and half without, who served in Iraq and Afghanistan since 2001. MRI brains scans of the participants showed that both the right and left amygdala were smaller in those with PTSD.
The researchers also confirmed previous study findings that linked PTSD with a smaller left hippocampus, a region of the brain that plays an important role in memory.
Amygdala size does not appear to be affected by the severity, frequency or duration of the mental trauma that can lead to PTSD, which indicates that such exposures do not cause the amygdala to shrink, said study lead author Dr. Rajendra Morey, assistant professor of psychiatry at Duke University.
This suggests that people with a smaller amygdala to begin with are susceptible to PTSD. Morey and colleagues are conducting further research to determine if that's the case.
"This is one piece in a bigger puzzle to understanding why some people develop PTSD and others do not," Morey said in a university news release. "We are getting closer to that answer."
The study was published Nov. 5 in the journal Archives of General Psychiatry.
PTSD affects nearly 14 percent of U.S. combat veterans from the Iraq and Afghanistan wars, according to the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs. It also affects nearly 7 percent of adults in the general population who have been victims of abuse, crime and other traumas during their lives.

454: A Documentary About Stem Cell Research
In 2004 Alex Goldberg, then a 20 year old local filmmaker began a documentary on stem cell research at the University of Washington. On June 16 2011, he died before the film was finished. This film highlights the need for this research to continue in order to save thousands of lives. In this unsettling political climate, the film resonates. It was made during the Bush era when stem cell lines were limited, thus stunting the research and in turn a cure for so many diseases. Many thanks to Dr Charles Murry and his staff for their tireless efforts to create therapies in regenerative medicine. Dr Murry may be reached through the University of Washington research labs.
