This document discusses biological markers for predicting response to Bacillus Calmette–Guerin (BCG) treatment in patients with non-muscle invasive bladder cancer (NMIBC). It identifies several promising markers based on a literature review, including tumor associated macrophages (TAMs), human leukocyte antigen (HLA) class I, a combination of Ki-67/CK20 proliferation markers, and certain cytokine levels like IL-2, IL-8, and the IL-6/IL-10 ratio. The document advocates using mathematical models along with molecular/cellular biology and clinical data to better understand these complex markers and their relationship to individual patient responses to BCG therapy for NMIBC.

Voter Perceptions: Common Core State Standards and AssessmentsAchieve, Inc.
On February 25, 2014 Achieve hosted a webinar open to state leaders and partners in all 50 states on the release of Achieve’s third national poll – Voter Perceptions: Common Core State Standards & Tests – which shows solid majorities of voters support common standards, common assessments, and allowing teacher and students time to adjust to these new expectations. Chad Colby, Achieve’s Director of Strategic Communications and Outreach, was joined on the webinar by Alex Bratty, Partner with Public Opinion Strategies and Dave Walker, Vice President of Greenberg Quinlan Rosner Research, to present an overview of the findings and discuss implications for leaders at the state level. This year's poll shows that awareness of the Common Core State Standards (CCSS) is inching up, even though nearly two-thirds of those surveyed still have heard "nothing" or "not too much" about the CCSS. Of those that said they had read, seen or heard recently about the standards, opinions were almost equally split between favorable and unfavorable, yet a plurality still favor implementation. Once voters were read a brief description of the CCSS, a solid majority, 69%, favored implementing the standards. For the first time in Achieve's series of polls, voters were asked about the effect of the Common Core and new tests on accountability and teacher evaluations. Voters believe that both student testing and teacher evaluations are important and should continue during implementation. Consequences, voters said, should only come for teachers, students and schools after an adjustment period, with a majority favoring a one or two year adjustment period.

BP Statistical Review of World Energy - 60 yearsbp
The document summarizes the history and evolution of the BP Statistical Review of World Energy over 60 years from its origins in 1952 as a small internal report to its current form as a widely used public database. Some key points:
- It began as a 6-page typewritten report in 1952 to track global oil production after BP lost access to Iranian oil fields.
- Over decades it has expanded its scope to cover global energy production, consumption, and reserves across multiple fuels while maintaining rigor and objectivity.
- It is now a widely cited public resource for industry, government, academia and the public, freely available online with over 300,000 data points.

This document provides an overview of housing market intelligence for Manitoba and Winnipeg. It includes statistics and forecasts on the provincial and Winnipeg economies, demographics, housing starts, sales, prices and ownership costs. The economy is projected to continue steady growth. Housing starts are forecast to increase moderately while resale market sales and prices rise at a slower pace. Population growth, particularly among demographics that typically purchase multi-family homes, supports continued strength in the condominium and apartment segments.

This document is a cause and effect essay on the lack of leisure time and stress faced by young people in some countries. It identifies several causes for this issue, including poor time management skills, low self-esteem, bad habits, parental expectations and pressure to succeed, and academic pressure from examinations. The effects are decreased leisure time and increased stress levels for young people. The essay provides supporting evidence and references for each of the causes discussed.

The document ends by encouraging the reader to create their own presentation on SlideShare.
The document discusses the benefits of meditation for reducing stress and anxiety. Regular meditation practice can help calm the mind and body by lowering heart rate and blood pressure. Studies have shown that meditating for just 10-20 minutes per day can have significant positive impacts on both mental and physical health.
The document discusses the benefits of exercise for mental health. Regular physical activity can help reduce anxiety and depression and improve mood and cognitive function. Exercise causes chemical changes in the brain that may help protect against mental illness and improve symptoms.

The document discusses the results of a study on the effects of exercise on memory and thinking abilities in older adults. The study found that regular exercise can help reduce the decline in thinking abilities that often occurs with age. Specifically, aerobic exercise was shown to improve executive function and memory in adults aged 60-79 who exercised for 30-45 minutes three times per week over the course of a 6-month study.
