Schiller, P.: Molecular Statistical Model for Adsorbed Membrane Particles. Mol. Phys., submitted
Indirect membrane-mediated forces influence aggregation, segregation and freezing processes of large particles inserted into a membrane or adsorbed to its surface. Colloidal particles, polymers, peptides and proteins are the source of deformations of the lipid double layer. These perturbations cause membrane- mediated attractive or repulsive forces between the particles. A molecular statistical treatment is useful to investigate the lateral organisation of peripheral and trans-membrane peptides. To describe aggregation and freezing phenomena a density functional which includes conventional short range forces and membrane-mediated effects is proposed. The method is applied to an ensemble of adsorbed peptides. It is investigated how the elastic splay-distortion modulus, the surface tension, the compression-expansion modulus of the bilayer and the cross section of adsorbed particles influence aggregation and freezing. Assuming conventional values for the material parameters, membrane mediated attractive forces are found to be sufficiently strong to enforce aggregation.

Lancaster Dog Art winners announced
LANCASTER - It may be a dog-eat-dog world out there, but it is all good at the Mary Rowlandson Elementary School.
Winners of the 2017 Dog Art Contest were recognized on Wednesday, Nov. 8, at 8:45 a.m. in the school. This year, the contest emphasized the importance of licensing dogs in Lancaster, and how not only is licensing the law, but also how a Lancaster dog tag helps identify a dog if it becomes lost.
With the support of Principal Sean O’Shea, Administrator Assistant Janice Kerrigan and the cooperation and energy of Art Teacher Rachel Korn, over 75 entries were received from kindergarten through grade 2 and evaluated for color, style and theme. While it was extremely hard to choose between all the wonderful illustrations, according to Town Clerk Mary de Alderete, the top three winners are:
First place: Michelly Gamache, grade 2;
Second Place: Kaden Jun, grade 2;
Third Place: Zion Robin, grade 1.
All winners will receive a basket of art supplies and have their artwork incorporated into the dog license forms for year 2018 and displayed on the Lancaster town clerk’s website.

From August to November of 2010 PhotoSat produced a 3,962 km² 1m survey grid from 50cm WorldView-2 stereo satellite photos for a project in Ghadames, Libya. The client hoped that by utilizing stereo satellite elevations during and after a highly accurate seismic survey they could improve the efficiency of their project.
The stereo satellite elevation surveying was initially referenced to 19 ground survey targets and 85,000 seismic source points with precise GPS elevations, as shown in Figure 1. The resulting horizontal match between the targets and the 50cm resolution stereo WorldView-2 satellite photos was approximately 25cm.
Following the completion of the DEM processing an additional 86,000 seismic source points were provided in the southern portion of the survey area, further confirming the close match between the source point elevations and the stereo satellite elevations.
Figure 2 shows the standard deviation and mean differences between the seismic shot point elevations and the stereo satellite elevations. The northern edge, which contains 53,000 seismic shot points, has a standard deviation of 30cm and mean difference of 5cm in elevation. The southern portion, which contains 118,000 seismic shot points, has a standard deviation of 28cm and mean difference of 8cm in elevation.
The availability of the satellite imagery and DEM has: reduced advanced scouting by ~80%; enabled safer vibroseis operations due to the identification of steeply sloped areas as no-go zones; resulted in fewer surveyor field days; and, provided a reliable comparison data set for quality control purposes. By using stereo satellite elevations to complement an ongoing seismic survey the client could improve the efficiency of their resource management and gained increased confidence in both data sets.

Title: The Cartographer
Genre: Alternative / Metal / Cello / Cinematic / Instrumental / Film Music / Post Rock
Release Date: 6th May 2022
Label: By Norse Music
‘The Cartographer’ has been waiting for its public airing since 2020. The piece was commissioned by the renowned RoadBurn Festival in The Netherlands to be played in April that year, but alas due to the onset of the plague and its welcomed or irritating inconvenience (delete as appropriate) the performance had to be set back. Looking on the bright side, two years have been put to good use to rehearse and hone the piece so that it was 100% perfect when played on the 23rd April at the 013 Venue in Tilburg. It also GAVE JO QUAIL the opportunity to record the piece at Groenland Studios in The Netherlands replete with all of the musicians involved and which will be released on May 6th.What this piece explores is the nexus or liminal space where classical instrumentation and heavy music meet. In the words of JO QUAIL herself: “Heaviness is an emotional concept that goes far beyond the limits of volume, speed and instrumentation”. To me heaviness is also space, timing, phrasing, tone and many other things that go beyond the realm of words. You have that in abundance here.
‘The Cartographer’ is composed of prose of five phrases, each phrase containing an intention for the different movements. Each of these musical phrases is pared through the artist’s pitch system and created the musical motif on which the whole work is based. ‘Movement One’ starts with a bombastic drum, rubbery drone and stringed slivers that set the tone before a piece of poetry is recited. The Blackness is slow moving and low hanging like smoke or mist. Tension hangs in the air whilst the sparse soundscape is akin to a desolate land devoid of trees / life. To me this is like looking into the centre of a dead soul. Jo’s cello, sparse and in keeping with her compositional rules, flits in and out like lightning illuminating barren ground. There’s also a hypnotic feel of being stuck in a stoney rut as bell sounds mesmerise the ears, it’s as if I can hear my neurons firing! Track two starts with a cacophony of Trombones, sophisticated Carnyxes suffused with the bass end of the piano and wiry violin gyrating and weaving its thin sound in and between the brass. Bombast percussion, dissonant sounds, piano trinkets and violin trill. Mesmerising but ominous. Vocalisations of a medusa-like creature echo from the deep, deep shadows. What is it? Yes, the brass is very ‘War Of The Worlds’!
‘Movement Three’ is the longest piece on the album and has voices opining from some shimmering deep place. It feels dissonant in the way you can like someone intensely and hate them with the same vigour? You know how something can taste horridly nice or a picture can be disgustingly beautiful? This is dark and light and heavy and nice and ominous and chilling. It’s like a cross between a Gormenghast score and ‘The Maldoror Chants’ by SCHAMMASCH. “Bloody awesome!” is all I can say to sum this piece up! The ominous and creepy male vocal delivered by Jake Harding is like a saw cutting through blackened butter! You have to wait nine minutes for this bit though but it is well worth it! I love the “bright” pump of the trombones at the end as if in a salute of perverted triumph!
‘Movement Four’ has percussion that hits like distant thunder. A drone flickers like lightning. The cello flits in accompanied by brass. Legions of Elven creatures’ tip toe dance into a flame lit circle, eyes bright in the orange light. This feels quite mischievous. ‘Movement Five’ on the other hand, is a track that starts with glottal vocals, a cacophony of strings that compete with soaring, wailing voices and then the two gel together into a smoothly linear flow. This is a song of numerous Gorgons shimmering beguilingly from the deep shadows, the violin pleading. The track concludes with deep resonance. Which is in keeping with the piece as a whole. It’s resonant.
Yes, resonant and compelling. Otherworldly and alien, this is a well thought out piece of music that defies genre and that takes you on an intense journey into space you’ve probably been before but not seen from this perspective. There are cellists out there who are in JO QUAIL’s league but what makes JO QUAIL stand out is the capacity to coax out of an instrument, along with the intelligent use of effects and loops, sounds that would not otherwise have ears to hear. If Dante Alghieri was alive today, I’m sure he’d seek JO QUAIL out as the go to composer for his movie version of his ‘Inferno’ ‘The Cartographer’ is also one of those pieces that has to have a special moment to be appreciated. You wouldn’t crack open a special bottle of wine if the time / date / quality of company etc was not right. Neither should you with this. In summary, this is just spiffing! I’ll repeat that! It’s spiffing! It’s shameful that I was not there to witness the first public airing in the flesh…

Replacing and Polishing Anterior Composite Fillings
Composites are the best method available to date to fill up dental cavities — especially situations which demands for superior aesthetics.
Composite restorations may last for a very long time, but as time passes, the microstructure of the surface may suffer the inevitable wear and tear damage. The altered irregular surface may pick up stains, causing the (originally) aesthetic filling to discolour. Depending on the severity, the discolouration of composites can be removed by either polishing; or some times, complete replacement of the restoration.
In the following example, both upper central incisors were filled with composites sometime ago. Discolouration of the upper right (your left) tooth is more obvious in comparison to the one on the left (your right). Some leakage is also noted around the margins of the filling next to the gums. To prevent further propagation of dental caries underneath the filling, the previous composite filling was removed carefully, and then restored.
The upper left tooth with mild discolouration and surface irregularity was corrected with simple trimming and polishing.

East-West Highway disrupted, settlements at risk of inundation by Narayani riverThe Department of Hydrology and Meteorology issued a notice on Wednesday appealing to the residents of Kawasoti, Danda and Giruwari areas to exercise caution.
The Arunkhola-Dumkibas section of the East-West Highway has been disrupted as flooded streams swept away road diversions in three different places. Transportation came to a halt at 5am on Wednesday and is yet to resume.
According to Prabin Thapa, a consultant engineer of China State Engineering Corporation which is carrying out Narayanghat-Butwal road expansion work, vehicular movement could not be resumed along the road stretch on Wednesday. Hundreds of passengers have been stranded due to road obstructions.
“Efforts are underway to resume transportation by installing hume pipes. But the continuous rains have affected work,” said Thapa. The rains briefly stopped in the afternoon but it started again at 4pm.
Road widening work along the 114km Narayanghat-Butwal section, one of the busiest road stretches along the East-West Highway, is underway. Diversions have been made at several places for the construction work. According to the locals, these diversions are often swept away during monsoon as there is no proper water outlet system.
“There aren’t proper water outlets for the floodwaters. So the diversions are often damaged when it rains in the area,” said Laldhwoj Shrestha of Arunkhola.
Assistant Chief District Officer Khimraj Bhusal said it was uncertain when vehicular movement along the highway would be resumed. “We are working in the field. Efforts are on. But the continuous rains have affected the road repair work,” said Bhusal.
Meanwhile, the water level in the Narayani River has risen in the last 36 hours following continuous rainfall in the district.
Several settlements from Gaindakot to Trivenidham near the river are at risk of flooding and inundation.
The Department of Hydrology and Meteorology issued a notice on Wednesday appealing to the residents of Kawasoti, Danda and Giruwari areas to exercise caution since the water level in the Gandak Barrage in Triveni has risen sharply.
According to the Water Measurement Centre, the water level at Triveni Barrage has reached 227,000 cusec litres.
Chief District Officer of East Nawalparasi Suman Ghimire said that an emergency situation could arise in the surrounding areas if the water level in the Narayani River crosses the danger mark.
The Centre in Devghat warned that the water level in the Narayani River had already crossed the six-metre mark by Wednesday evening. Water level above seven metres is considered very dangerous.

The term 'social distancing' came up with the outbreak of Covid 19 as it was one of the few measures deemed necessary to control the spread of the virus. Commentators at the time couldn't help but wonder what larger implications this could bear for a society where social distancing has been in practice for more than two millennia. It wasn't incoherent to argue that Untouchability (the most defining feature of Caste, the constituent block of the Indian social structure) stood to get affected by this new practice and in turn be consequential for the society.
Given 'social distancing' already had a cultural and social meaning in the context of India, combined with the emphasis on cleanliness and hygiene mandated against Covid-19, it all too conveniently evoked the image of the 'dirty outcaste'. Savarnas have historically associated Dalits with impurity, pollution, and contamination, in that light, containing the contagion was on a turf eerily similar to caste-based exclusion. This led to apprehensions that 'social/ physical distancing' would be weaponized for bigotry by proponents of caste, giving them a new ground to defend untouchability on.
Caste-based untouchability, throughout its existence, has manifested itself both structurally and as a phenomenon in interpersonal exchange. It has altered over time as Savarnas have opted for less overt forms of untouchability in interpersonal exchange but it is still very visible in the social structure and social institutions, exemplified by segregated housing for the erstwhile untouchable populace in both urban and rural landscapes.
To believe that 'social/physical distancing' for dealing with the pandemic, despite its problematic nomenclature, could have broader implications with regards to untouchability is daintily presumptuous. This notion fails to underscore that untouchability isn't a relic from the past which might resurface again but it is very much a reality that has been resilient in the face of social and legal reforms. There is no risk of reinforcement of the notion of ritual purity behind this garb of medical necessity since it is already in force; questioned and faintly altered but deeply rooted and firmly in place. Roping off of Dalits whether through segregation/ghettoization or any other institutional stipulation like marriage has kept Savarnas immune to whatever constitutional measures exist against untouchability.
Back in March of 2020, the unsavoury optics of homecoming migrant workers being greeted with a chemical shower upon entering Bareilly drew some ire from fringes of social media, but not enough to warrant a legal inquiry, and even the officials concerned remained unavailable for any statement. This was followed by a similar incident in South Delhi a couple of months later, where migrant workers were disinfected en masse by spraying diluted bleach before boarding a special train. Municipality officials did offer an apology upon being questioned about this dehumanizing act but still, no legal action was taken.
This dubious approach in contending with such inhuman actions wasn't swept under the rug because they need for sanitation cloaked the need for human dignity but because it emanates from age-old notions around purity, pollution, untouchability, and caste that permeate through the Indian zeitgeist. Ideas thoroughly upheld by the oppressors and internalized by the oppressed, rendering a legal recourse mostly defunct and generally discouraged, not to mention establishing culpability can be precarious under the best of circumstances. The migrant worker, even if not necessarily a Dalit, occupies the crossroads of marginalization in both social and economic orders. To speculate that public and legal response to these situations would have been any different in a context bereft Covid is highly disingenuous.
Now, months after this question has been in the rear-view mirror of the news cycle, we stand a chance to assess the social consequences of social distancing. Was the alarmism superficial even if well-intentioned? Is a pandemic even remotely sufficient to alter the machinations of untouchability and caste? If the untouchable is still in cordon sanitaire why is untouchability spoken off as an antiquated practice?
Any novel hazard that social distancing could have brought to this dynamic is akin to a drop of water in the ocean of oppression. The paucity of subsequent reports and stories on the subject matter corresponds with the voices of the unheard but it is also a reminder that caste-based subjugation is a very mature institution and is saturated with such discriminatory practices.
Over the years statistics from National Crime Record Bureau have shown a very gradual uptick in the number of cases recorded under the Prevention of Atrocities Act 1989. The total recorded cases of crimes against Dalits and Adivasis under PoA are numbered around 50,000 annually, which is a minuscule fraction of the Dalit population in its entirety. Caste-based discrimination is under-reported not merely because of the pitfalls of legislation but because caste functions as a hegemony, where ideological dominance sheaths the power of caste. For Savarnas the science of social distancing is redundant for advocating caste and untouchability since they already have a refuge in ideology. Despite having established itself as a tour de force in disruption of society is a surface occurrence in the timeline of caste and untouchability.

UPDATED with Viking River Cruises statement
Following the devastating truck attack that killed 84 people in Nice, France on Bastille Day, Cruise Critic is reporting that lines featuring the French Riviera city along the Cote d'Azur are modifying their plans.
Corporately, Norwegian Cruise Line Holdings Ltd. is halting shore excursions in Nice and upping its security protocols in French ports as it applies to its Norwegian Cruise Line, Oceania Cruises and Regent Seven Seas Cruises brands.
The company is quoted as saying, "We are providing support and assistance to our corporate team members, shipboard staff and guests with loved ones in and around Nice. Ships from the NCLH fleet were not operating tours to Nice at the time of the incident."

Royal Caribbean Cruises Ltd. is altogether cancelling port calls on Nice, sending Royal Caribbean International's Navigator of the Seas on a day at sea last Friday and Celebrity Cruises' Celebrity Constellation to Livorno, Italy for an overnight stay this past Saturday. Regarding those changes, the company said, "After reviewing all of the available information and along with discussions with our Global Security team in Miami, we have decided to cancel our next two calls to Nice," and it will "continue to monitor the situation" beyond.
Individual cruise lines are also responding as Holland America Line stated, "Holland America Line operates five tours to the Nice area from the port of Monte Carlo, where our next scheduled call is on July 21. We are carefully reviewing and monitoring the situation and should tours to Nice change, booked guests will be notified."

Meanwhile, MSC Cruises added that the line is "providing [passengers] with the option to either cancel for a full refund or change their shore excursion plans…there is currently no restriction in place by the local security forces that would make this mandatory."
Additionally, while P&O Cruises' Britannia was in Cannes, the line said, "All shore excursions to Nice have been canceled and passengers have been advised to avoid Nice centre."
Also operating in the affected region are various river cruise lines that showcase Nice as a pre/post-cruise extension to sailings along the Rhone like Viking River Cruises and Grand Circle Cruise Line. For now, the latter company says on its website, "We are operating all of our departures as scheduled. All of our travelers and associates in France are safe-we will continue to monitor the situation."
Viking adds, "Our hearts go out to the city of Nice, France and the families of those affected by the incident there on July 14, 2016. No Viking guests or crew were directly impacted; all Viking guests currently in Nice on the post-cruise extension (July 6th departure of Lyon & Provence aboard Viking Delling) are accounted for and safe, and our itineraries in France are operating as scheduled. The safety and security of our guests and crew is always our top priority, and we will continue to work with our local partners and monitor the situation closely as the investigation develops." One current pre-cruise extension has replaced Nice with Aix en Provence. "Should any additional itinerary modifications become necessary for upcoming cruises or extensions featuring Nice we will notify those guests directly."

Summer is the time of year that evokes visions of lazy days by the pool, chasing fireflies and, for many, the sometimes boring but always illuminating experience of the family vacation. If this year's vacation is more of a stay-cation or the farthest you are traveling is Table Rock Lake (I've got my flip flops and an inner tube, I'm sure you need a friendly librarian to suggest books on the trip!) then armchair travel may be what you are looking for in your summer reading.
Armchair travel simply means experiencing the people, cultures and places from all around the world through books and magazines. From your comfy armchair you can live vicariously in a place you may never experience in real life or learn more about a place you are about to visit. The best examples of this concept would be the magazine National Geographic and such popular tomes as Eat, Pray, Love: One Woman's Search for Everything Across Italy, India and Indonesia by Elizabeth Gilbert and In a Sunburned Country by Bill Bryson.
This summer, to support the Library's Adult Summer Reading Program Novel Destinations, we will be highlighting several different areas of our collection that will help you see the world. Keep checking back to see if we highlight the place you want to visit most. Until then, remember our librarians at each of the Springfield-Greene County Libraries would be thrilled to help you with your reading selections. If figuring it all out on your own is more appealing, here are a few starting points:
Travel to... A booklist compiled by the staff at the Springfield-Greene County Library District of books set in a variety of locations from Egypt to South America.
Bibliotravel.com is a site developed by two librarians to connect books about different areas of the world with the people who want to read about them. Simply type in the place you want to visit in a literary sense and, voila, instant reading list.

Caldera Sponsors Samba Client Library DevelopmentDec 19, 2000, 22:07 (0 Talkback[s])
Caldera today announced that they have contracted with Richard Sharpeof the Samba team to create a client library that will make Linux and Microsoft integration easier for developers. The Caldera-funded project includes the development of library source code, associated reorganization and reuse of Samba code and documentation of the library application program interface (API). As part of the Samba project, the library and documentation will be available under the GPL. Caldera's engineering group will work with the Samba team to complete the project by February 2001.
"Richard Sharpe is perfectly suited for this project," said John Terpstra, vice president of technology and Open Source strategist for Caldera Systems, Inc. "We believe this library built with Samba code will become the standard for developers writing software that integrates with Microsoft networks."
"The benefit of this announcement to businesses and developers can be summarized in one word - choice," said Bill Claybrook, research director for Linux and Open Source software at the Aberdeen Group. "A library that makes Linux and Windows integration possible will encourage more developers to choose Linux application and tool development. The end result for businesses is the choice to consider the best applications and tools from either platform."
Developers interested in more technical detail on the project can visit the Samba Web page at http://www.samba.org


Network Service Access Point (NSAP) is a term from the OSI terminology. Network Service Access Point defines the point at which network services are made available to the transport layer.
This service access point is uniquely defined by a network address. One such address consists of 20 octets.
ATM uses the NSAP address structure for private network addresses. For public ATM addresses, ATM uses the E.164 standard of the International Telecommunication Union( ITU).

WhatsApp has been working on the Dark Mode for its Android and iPhone app for some time. But now, the latest WhatsApp beta for Android version indicated some notable tweaks pertaining to the ongoing development. The beta update appears to include new avatar placeholders for the Dark Mode. Similarly, there is a new VoIP screen with dark elements. This screen surfaces once a user receives a WhatsApp call. The new changes are a part of the latest WhatsApp beta version for Android. However, they aren’t visible to the public just yet.
The fresh series of Dark Mode-focussed changes exist in the WhatsApp beta version 2.19.354 for Android. This new update includes the avatar images (or placeholder icons) for broadcasts, individual profiles, and groups with a grey background. These would be visible to the users once the Dark Mode is enabled, reports WhatsApp beta watcher WABetaInfo.
WhatsApp by default has the avatar images with a green background — matching the dark green ribbon available at the top.
Alongside the new avatar images, the latest WhatsApp beta version for Android devices seems to have the new VoIP screen dark elements to support the Dark Mode. The new screen will continue to have the green background that exists on the current VoIP screen, but with a darker tint to reduce eyestrain to some extent. It is likely that WhatsApp would make further interface-level changes before bringing the Dark Mode to the public.
That being said, the latest tweaks aren’t visible publicly. You can, however, download the latest WhatsApp beta version on your Android device directly via Google Play beta programme or through its APK from APK Mirror.
Last week, WhatsApp brought its beta version 2.19.348 for Android devices that was spotted adding a self-destructing ‘Delete messages’ feature. The addition could allow users to choose how long they want a new message to be visible to their contacts.
The anticipated Dark Mode is also apparently in the development for many months. It was also spotted testing on iPhone last month. Nonetheless, the Facebook-owned company is yet to showcase its development formally.


Voice of the people
On Monday, chief EU Brexit negotiator Michel Barnier met Nigel Farage, a former leader of the UKIP and one of the most ardent supporters of Brexit.
Prior to the meeting, he claimed on Twitter that nobody was representing the 52% of people who voted for Brexit, so he would do so. He asked people to propose questions to ask Barnier on the hashtag #AskBarnier.
In an interview with the BBC on its Daily Politics show after the meeting, Farage mentioned how “The British Government has given a hell of a lot already” and that it was “time for Barnier to give something.”
He also suggested that Barnier didn’t understand why a majority of the British people voted for Brexit, with Barnier reportedly saying he believed it was the money promised for the NHS that convinced people. Farage said that “what Barnier didn’t understand, at all, was that open door immigration within the European Union had been an absolute key driver”.
This meeting comes after sufficient progress was declared on the first phase of the Brexit negotiations, allowing negotiations to progress to talks on a transition deal and the future EU-UK relationship. The first Phase 2 guidelines are set to be adopted in late January.
Later in the week, Barnier is to meet representatives of other pro-Brexit groups, such as Leave Means Leave and the Labour Leave group, as well as another UKIP MEP.

The reboot of "Beverly Hills 90210" will be a short one. Fox reportedly confirmed Thursday that the revival of the 1990s series has been canceled after one season.
"BH 90210" followed seven of the cast members playing "heightened" versions of themselves. The plot centered around the cast of Gabrielle Carteris, Shannen Doherty, Jennie Garth, Brian Austin Green, Jason Priestley, Tori Spelling and Ian Ziering as they struggled to reboot the show.
USA TODAY reports ratings for the summer premiere were high, likely due to curiosity. But interest faded for the six-episode series.
Along the way, viewers followed the made-up "real" lives of the cast including:
- Carteris exploring her sexuality
- Doherty as a protector of animals living in the great outdoors who is pulled back into the fray
- Garth dealing with divorce and a teenage daughter who is a budding actress
- Priestley, a director, struggling with infidelity by his wife, and with his own infidelity as he reunites with Garth
- Green struggling with having a more famous spouse and learning about the son he never knew
- Spelling trying to pay the bills after she and her husband lose their reality show
- Ziering also struggling with his marriage before entering a relationship with a writer (who he learns in the finale is the daughter of someone he used to date, played by Denise Richards)
Fellow 90210 alum Luke Perry was not involved in the show. It's not clear if he was going to have a role before his death from a stroke in March. The first episode took a couple of moments to pay homage to Perry.

Although it may seem slow Spring is on its way, in our garden the frogs have been croaking, the buds on the early Clematis are nearly ready to open, the snowdrops are up and the Primroses are in flower.
Primroses have to be one of my favourite flowers; they bring back happy childhood memories of walks up the fields gathering small bunches for my mum – although picking them nowadays isn’t the done thing.
Primula Vulgaris is the British native Primrose that can be found growing in hedgerows or on banks in the wild, but it will also grow happily in gardens.
They prefer a well-drained soil and will thrive in clay, chalk, loam and sand; they will grow quite happily in semi-shade making them perfect to plant under hedges, trees and in a woodland setting as well as in a wildflower meadow.
Primroses can be grown from seed, these are sown in Autumn and remain dormant during the Winter months they will begin to grow when the weather warms up, alternatively you can buy them bare root to plant in Autumn or as pot grown plants which are available now to plant straight away. When primroses have become established they will form thick clumps that can be divided and replanted, ideally during September, they will also self seed naturally. Primroses thrive on leaf mould which can be incorporated when planting or used as a mulch around the plants.
Primroses provide an early source of nectar for Bees, Brimstone Butterflies and Small Tortoiseshell Butterflies they are also the food plant of the caterpillars of the rare Duke of Burgundy Butterfly.
Did you know?
- The Primrose is the county flower of Devon.
- Its name derives from the Latin ‘Prima Rosa’ meaning ‘first rose’ of the year although it is not a member of the rose family.
- Since Victorian times, April 19 has been known as ‘Primrose Day’ it is the anniversary of the death of the former British Prime Minister Benjamin Disraeli, the Primrose was his favourite flower and on this day every year they are placed at his statue in Westminster Abbey.
Primroses do not take up much space in your garden their pale lemon flowers are a glorious sight and their sweet delicate fragrance is a delight, they are well worth growing and a sign that Spring is on the way.

'Cohabitation before marriage does NOT cause divorce': Experts debunk long-believed relationship myth
Premarital cohabitation does not affect a couple’s likelihood of getting divorced, according to a new scientific study.
The University of North Carolina’s sociologist Arielle Kuperberg, who carried out the study, confirmed to Live Science that ‘cohabitation does not cause divorce.’
Unlike previous studies of this nature, Ms Kuperberg decided to compare relationships using the length of time that couples had lived together before marriage, rather than their age when they moved in together.
Happy houses: A new study shows how there is no correlation between premarital cohabitation and divorce
Using three sets of data (from 1996, 2002 and 2006) collected by the U.S. government’s National Survey of Family Growth, Ms Kuperberg compared information on more than 7,000 people who had been married at least once.
Looking specifically at when the couples moved in together, and when and if they divorced, Ms Kuperberg found that there was no correlation between divorce rates and pre-marital cohabitation.
Her findings directly negate reports dating back to the Seventies which claimed that cohabitation caused a spike in divorce among couples due to ‘sliding’, the inclination to get married out of comfort.
Her research has shed new light on cohabitation culture in the U.S., though – providing supportive evidence for a 2010 study conducted by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.
The organization found that in 2010 nearly 75per cent of women aged 30 and younger had lived with a partner outside of marriage, compared with 70per cent in 2002, and 62per cent in 1995.
Only 23per cent of women in 2010 were already married when they moved in with their partner. This number is down from 30per cent in 2002 and 39per cent in 1995, offering more proof that premarital cohabitation is on the rise.
In the CDC study’s three-year duration, 40per cent of its cohabitating participants got married, 32per cent stayed together, and 27per cent broke up.
It also found that the length of time that people live together before marrying is increasing.
The study’s participants lived together for an average of 22months before getting married, compared with 13months from a 1995 study.

In this module, we looked at a variety of styles in the Renaissance in Italy. Artists like Botticelli, Bellini, Michelangelo, and Bronzino all incorporated Renaissance characteristics into their works, and yet their works look different from each other.
To address form and content in the artistic developments and trends that took place in the Renaissance, look closely at examples from each of these artists.
Choose one painting by one of the artists listed above, and identify characteristics and techniques of the Renaissance style.
Then, address how the work departed from typical Renaissance formulas to become signature to that artist’s particular style.
Finally, why did you select this artist? What draws you to their work?

Fluorescent proteins (FP) have been widely used as genetic tags and bio-markers to provide spatial and temporal information of a protein-of-interest in live cells and animals . Fluorescence of these proteins is activated by their chromophore, a chemical moiety that is generated via a series of chemical reactions within a folded FP . For example, the chromophore of green fluorescent protein (GFP) is formed by side chains of three adjacent amino acids (Serine 67, Tyrosine 68, and Glycine 69). During the maturation process, the GFP chromophore forms a 4-hydroxybenzylidene-imidazolinone (HBI) structure via a series of chemical reactions, including cyclization, oxidation, and dehydration. Structural variations of HBI lead to new FPs with diverse photo-physical properties, including excitation/emission spectra, quantum yield, photo stability, and photo switchability . These FPs have enabled a wide range of biological applications in various cell types and organisms.
A new line of application inspired by the FP chromophores is fluorogenic detection (i.e., detection with turn-on fluorescence) of analysts both in test tubes and living cells. This is made possible because most of the FP chromophores as primarily HBI analogues become non-fluorescent when they are synthesized as small molecules and characterized in diluted solvents [4, 5]. In test tubes, the fluorescence is re-activated when synthetic HBI analogues interact with supra-molecular hosts , metal-organic framework , aggregation-induced emission  and protein hosts . In living cells, HBI analogues, represented by represented by 3, 5-difluoro-4-hydroxybenzylidene imid-azolinone (DFHBI), have been used to visualize RNA aptamers , DNA quadruplex , and more recently the detection of protein aggregation .
In particular, GFP analogues recently emerge to enable fluorogenic detection of biomolecules in living cells [11, 12]. Compared to commonly used HBI analogues, RFP analogues harbor an extended moiety at the C2 position of the imidazolinone group (Ib position in left panel, FIG. 1(a)). In the case of the photo-converted Kaede fluorescent protein , an imidazole is connected via a stilbene linker to the C2 of imidazolinone. Derivatives of this scaffold have been employed to enable fluorogenic imaging of DNA quadruplex  and protein aggregates . Given that the Kaede scaffold is increasingly used to develop novel fluorescent probes, we envision that the incorporation of heterocycles to the Ia and Ib positions of this scaffold bears the potential to give rise to novel photochemical properties. In this study, we have synthesized a new molecule wherein indoles were introduced to both the Ia and Ib positions, yielding
All electronic structure calculations were carried out using DFT or the linear response time dependent DFT method at the level of B3LYP/6-31+G(d, p) [14, 15] as implemented in the Gaussian computational chemistry software . Geometries of various stereoisomers of TI3C (FIG. 1(a)) were fully optimized both in the gas phase and in an effective solvent model on the ground- and excited-state. The solvent effect of glycerol was included using the polarizable continuum model (PCM) [17-25] with dielectric constants  (
Commercial grade reagents and anhydrous solvents were used as received unless otherwise stated. Reactions were monitored via thin layer chromatography (TLC) analysis using Silicycle glass sheets precoated with silica gel 60 with detection by UV-absorption (254 nm or 365 nm). Flash column chromatography was performed using Silica Flash F60 silica gel in the indicated solvent mixture.
The synthesis steps for TI3C is shown in FIG. 2.
Condition a: glycine tert-butyl ester hydrochloride (1.1 eq) and NaOH (1.0 eq) were stirred in EtOH for 1 h at room temperature, aldehyde (1.0 eq) was added and stirred overnight. The next day the imidate (1.0 eq) was prepared, added in one portion. The reaction was again stirred overnight, then quenched by water and extracted with DCM. The organic fraction was collected and dried in vacuo. Compounds were further purified by ash chromatography (1:1, ethyl acetate/hexanes) to yield compound 1.
Condition b: aldehyde (2.0 eq), 1 (1.0 eq) were combined in dioxane under Argon. ZnCl
Bridged by CC single/double bonds, the three aromatic rings of TI3C (FIG. 1(a)) constitute a planar
FIG. 4 shows five lowest energy TI3C isomers and their Boltzmann weights at the room temperature,
Two types of electronic transitions, absorption and emission, are considered in this work and shown in FIG. 5, and their characteristics are shown in Table Ⅱ. Vertical absorption spectra were computed using the ground state geometry (S
Spectra of isomer 1 are of a higher oscillator strength than those of 2. As indicated in Table Ⅳ, this is a result of a decrease in transition dipole moment upon isomerization from 1 to 2. For both isomers 1 and 2, the spectral intensity increases significantly in glycerol compared to that in vacuum also due to the increase in transition dipole moment. FIG. 7 shows the electron density difference
Spectral Stokes shifts in vacuum are
FIG. 9 depicts the potential energy surfaces of S
In this study, we presented a theoretical study of the bright TI3C molecule, a Kaede RFP-like chromophore. Thermodynamic isomerization pathways were investigated and statistical distributions of stable isomers were analyzed. The two most stable isomers were selected for photochemical studies. Computed spectral Stokes were in excellent agreement with experiments. An inverted solvatochromic shift of TI3C in glycerol between absorption and emission was observed. Potential energy surface and population analyses suggest that the inverted solvatochromic shift is due to the inhibition of rotational structural reorganization arising from stabilized excited state charge transfer. This work lays the theoretical groundwork for designing RFP-like chromophore with extended conjugation to acquire desired photo-physical properties.Ⅴ. ACKNOWLEDGMENTS

Sounds like … the now classic modern worship albums as you remember them, influencing the likes of Starfield, David Crowder Band, Chris Tomlin, and many others. At a glance … the new tracks aren't enough reason for people to buy the album(s) again, but Gotee has made it easy for anyone to buy two for one if you haven't added them to your collection yetTrack ListingDisc One—SonicfloodInvocationI Have Come to WorshipHoly OneI Want to Know YouMy RefugeI Could Sing of Your Love ForeverHolinessCarried AwaySomething About That NameI Need YouOpen the Eyes of My HeartThe Heart of WorshipI Want to Know You (acoustic)My Refuge (acoustic)Bless the Lord—Jeff DeyoThese Hands—Jeff DeyoDisc Two—SonicpraiseIntoOpen the Eyes Of My HeartI Want to Know You (In The Secret)Carried AwayHoly OneYou Are Worthy of My PraiseSpontaneous WorshipDid You Feel the Mountains Tremble?Lord, I Lift Your Name on HighBefore the Throne of God AboveI Could Sing of Your Love ForeverI Have Come to WorshipAgnus Dei (live bootleg)
Hard to believe it's already been five years since Sonicflood's debut, pivotal to the modern worship movement. Harder still to believe that less than two years later, the hugely popular band called it quits, with all founding members going their separate ways, leaving bassist Rick Heil to start a completely new band with the same name.
Gotee celebrates the impact of the original Jeff Deyo-fronted Sonicflood with Gold, a reasonably priced two-disc set that bundles the pink self-titled album with the grey live album, Sonicpraise. Revisiting these discs after a long exile from the CD player, I found two things striking: they both still hold up as well as they did originally, and it's amazing how many artists today are still trying to emulate the same sound, intentionally or not. The sad part about this is that the original intent of Sonicflood was to approach worship in a fresh new way—an approach that's rare today.
Aside from the familiar arrangements of "I Want to Know You" and "I Could Sing of Your Love Forever"-played out ad nauseam on these discs—Gold includes five bonus tracks. Two are Jeff Deyo solo contributions—"Bless the Lord" from his Light album and a trippy rock cover of "These Hands." They've included a routine live cover of "Agnus Dei" at the end of Sonicpraise. And there are two acoustic mixes of "I Want to Know You" and "My Refuge" that sound suspiciously more like rough demos for the original album.
Some might accuse Gotee of Gold-digging by issuing a re-release so soon, but these remain two solid worship albums. If you own neither or only one of them, they've made it easy on your wallet to buy both together. Otherwise, longtime fans have no reason to pick this up. The new tracks aren't worthwhile; pick up Deyo's solo discs instead.

Release Date: Wednesday, December 18th, 2019
See what our talented sewists were inspired to make!
Athletics for every activity level
Athletics are a variety of fabrics, each varies in its contents (check the listing) but are grouped together because they're well suited for whatever kind of workout your day brings you.
Nylon content makes these fabrics moisture whisking, polyester makes them soft, spandex makes them stretchy and cotton makes them breathable. Check the specific product listing for the content breakdown. Information about UPF rating is also included for each fabric!
Each fabric weight is also listed. Heavier fabrics will be stronger to sew something more compressible (with more negative ease, meaning it's actually smaller than you and designed to stretch when you put it on, like leggings) while lighter fabrics make for cool tops.
Amelia Lane Designs created this handy info sheet to help understand all the fabric bases!
Coordinating colors for more combinations
ALD strives to source fabrics that coordinate so that as you make pieces they'll naturally coordinate with each other.
In keeping that balance, this stocking includes a 4 solids and 3 prints that not only coordinate with each other, they also coordinate with the existing available athletics fabrics from Amelia Lane Designs!
Build your ultimate athletics capsule by pinning the fabrics you would love to pair to a Pinterest board! The product listings have a handy "Pin It" button!

Organisers are putting the finishing touches to the inaugural Cat Run which takes place in the city this Saturday.
The Cat Run - Kilkenny’s half marathon event comprises three concurrent runs – a half marathon, 10k race and 5k fun run and will raise money for O’Loughlin Gaels and local charity Friends of St. Luke’s
Organisers believe that the timing of the initiative - which will coincide with the training schedule for the Dublin City Marathon and on All-Ireland Hurling weekend – and its challenging route through the environs of Johnswell will result in up to 700 entrants from all around Ireland for the inaugural run that will establish the initiative nationally as a “must run” event. Each race will start and finish in the grounds of O’Loughlin Gaels GAA club. There will also be entertainment throughout the day at the famed St. Johns. The Cat Run website has had a constant flow on online registration since going live earlier this year. Organisers strongly advise anyone interested in attending to register in the coming days to avoid disappointment.
Eddie Buckley, Chairman of O’Loughlin Gaels said: “Firstly, I think it’s important that we as a club acknowledge the tremendous support EUROSPAR has been, by their sponsorship of this event. The McCarthys have been strong supporters of both OLG and the wider St John’s community over the years. OLG is particularly indebted to John, Margaret & James - we simply could not have gotten this project off the ground without their help. The Cat Run is an excellent opportunity to showcase our beautiful city and to extend a warm welcome to visiting athletes. It is also our aim to make this an annual event on the national running calendar”. For more information and to register visit : www.thecatrun.com

Confusion over the Pelycosaur Dimetrodon
Although found in a lot dinosaur model sets, the sail-backed reptile known as Dimetrodon was not a dinosaur. Dimetrodon was a synapsid, a member of a group of reptiles that has a single opening (fenestra) just behind the eye socket in the skull. Dinosaurs, lizards, crocodiles, Aves (birds) and marine reptiles such as the plesiosaurs were diapsids. Diapsid vertebrates have two holes on each side of the skull. Mammals are also synapsids, so Dimetrodon was actually more closely related to the mammal line than to the Dinosauria, although the term “mammal-like” reptile that is often applied to this genus is misleading.
An Illustration of Dimetrodon

Dimetrodon was not a Dinosaur
To view models and replicas of Dimetrodon: Dinosaur and Prehistoric Animal Models.
A number of species have been described, one of the largest Dimetrodon grandis measured up to 3.5 metres in length and would have weighed about as much as an African lion (Panthero leo). Fossils have been found in North America and Europe with the last species of Dimetrodon becoming extinct around 250 million years ago.

Refrigerating fruit and vegies could reduce their nutrients, according to research that describes internal clocks that respond to light and dark, which affects antioxidant levels.
Professor Janet Braam from Rice University led a team who simulated day-night cycles to control the internal clocks of produce such as cabbage, carrots, zucchini, sweet potato and blueberries.
Plants naturally increase their production of anti-insect chemicals just before sunrise, which is when insects are more likely to feed, and some of these chemicals have health benefits for humans.
Professor Braam wanted to test whether exposing fruit and vegetables to light and dark would allow humans to manipulate the production of anti-insect properties and boost their antioxidant levels.
"Vegetables and fruits don't die the moment they are harvested," Professor Braam said in a media release.
"They respond to their environment for days, and we found we could use light to coax them to make more cancer-fighting antioxidants at certain times of day."
The researchers suggest that storing fruit and vegetables in dark trucks, boxes and refrigerators may inhibit their daily rhythms.
"We cannot yet say whether all-dark or all-light conditions shorten the shelf life of fruits and vegetables," Braam said.
"What we have shown is that keeping the internal clock ticking is advantageous with respect to insect resistance and could also yield health benefits."
Now Braam and her team are conducting further research and said it's exciting to think that fruit and vegetables could be made healthier if stored differently.
The study was published in the journal Current Biology.

Prominent tech giant Apple has now added the Bitcoin currency symbol to its new icon set, a move that alights conveniently how slow and cautious Apple has been towards the cryptocurrency industry.
A ‘Little’ Important Step
The recent addition of the Bitcoin currency symbol to an ever-growing set of icons would not be setting the Bitcoin community on fire just yet. It is not the most ground-breaking of innovations or developments, and not many iOS users would be jumping up at the idea of a new Bitcoin icon. Not even bitcoin enthusiasts, it won’t drive Bitcoin valuation any time soon or in the far future. However, Apple’s willingness to add the cryptocurrency icon is a step in the right direction, no matter how slow or late it has come.
Apple might as well be the snail in a race of Bugattis and Nitro cars fighting to get involved in the cryptocurrency industry, but it is good enough that the snail has finally come out of its shell to make a move. Apple’s hesitance to embracing the cryptocurrency sector as puzzling as it seems is quite understandable. And while Google has had its problems with fighting off the dark dealings of the cryptocurrency world it has so generously embraced, Apple is doing all it can to do prevent it in the first place.
Apple has consistently prided itself as an ethical company and its every decision has been arguably based on this premise. ‘Ethical’, however, might be subjective, and if you don’t understand that by now, Google’s motto of ‘Don’t be Evil’ couldn’t have made it any clearer.
Similar tech companies like Google and Facebook have been doing all they can to impose stricter measures on cryptocurrency-related developments on their platforms like ICOs and all, but Google’s major Android app platform, Google Play, has been more open and embracing. Apple addressed the common issue by imposing stricter measures on cryptocurrency-related apps on their store exactly this time last year, in what would be the second significant involvement of Apple in the cryptocurrency industry after its approval of the Dash Wallet in 2017.
Master of Little Things
If any company has so perfected the art of little and humble things like this, it would be Apple. The company’s unique user interfaces and hardware designs are simple, classy and significantly expensive.
The soon-to-be-unveiled new Mac Pro scheduled to launch at $6000 to an upwards of almost $50,000 is a good example of this; it is not only because its design has been compared to a humble cheese grater. If you think any development is too little or insignificant, don’t be too sure and remember Apple is the master of the noblest, most little of things.
