I have been a Golmaal fanboy ever since the first film hit the blocks and redefined comedy in a certain way. The second installment, that wasn’t exactly a superhit, also worked for me. The third installment, however, is till date my favorite Golmaal film. Not only was the humor original, quirky and very situational, the film didn’t have to try too hard to make us smile. The comedy was so rip-roaring and genuine that we literally invested in the histrionics of the characters and loved every dialog that came out of their mouths no matter how improbable and over the top. This is where the latest film suffers. It has to try too hard to make us laugh and sadly enough, it is in a lot many ways unsuccessful in doing so.
Gopal (Ajay Devgn), Madhav (Arshad Warsi), Laxman1 (Shreyas Talpade), Laxman2 (Kunal Khemu) and Lucky (Tusshar Kapoor) grew up the same orphanage. While Gopal and Laxman1 are close friends and live together, the other three are their arch rivals in the business of vacating legally possessed illegal properties. A chain of events leads them to re-allocating to their old orphanage where Gopal falls for the caretaker of the orphanage and its adjoining bungalow, Damini, who is very young. As they spend time in the bungalow for their own reasons, a greater game is afoot in the house which will force the guys to forget their differences and come together to look at the bigger picture.
The film shows flashes of brilliance here and there. Rohit Shetty brings back some fond memories and his deft touches to some of the better done comic scenes are evident. I just loved the camaraderie between the principal characters. Their hatred for each other leads to some silly yet hilarious situations. As the story progresses and the characters are subsequently possessed by an unsatisfied spirit, some more comic scenes unfold that is good to have a laugh at. Arshad Warsi and Ajay Devgn have some great dialogs between them and the manner in which they play out these scenes is bound to make you laugh.
However, the problem with these scenes is that they are far apart and too little. For the first time in the Golmaal franchise they have tried to infuse a well laid out story that has a lot of meat, twists and turns and surprises but the execution of the story is really bad and while the director has sacrificed the comedy for some drama and thrills, these are the elements of the film that doesn’t work well. I cannot get into my complaints with the story without giving out some spoilers and hence I request you to stop reading the review here if you want to watch the film spoiler free.
Parineeti Chopra’s character is a ghost in the film. This is made clear to the audiences in the very first scene that she makes an appearance in. This fact is also referenced multiple times before the actual reveal is done and it is done in such a manner that anyone and everyone will get it. This I believe robbed the film of a great bit of potential. Also, without questioning the sanity of this insane film, I was totally disappointed by the amount of power, Parineeti’s character is shown to possess. If she was so powerful, there was no need for her to take the help of our protagonists. The manner in which the relation between them and Parineeti’s character is established is also a big ho ho.
My next major complaint with the film is with the caricature that it makes out of many of its characters that too unnecessarily. I am speaking about Johnny Lever and Prakash Raj mostly. They are supremely talented actors and they have the ability to make even a dead man smile. But here they have been made to enact loud, flimsy and unnecessarily over the top characters that could have easily been better written and conceived. The result is a loud and somewhat irritating comedy that doesn’t work. Not atleast for me. The film is too long and it doesn’t have the amount of laughs that could have made us sit through a film that long and still feel breezy.
Ajay Devgn tries really hard and it shows. He nearly singlehandedly elevates this film from being a bad one to an above ordinary material. That’s what a good performance could do to a film. I loved the parts where his fear of ghosts is used against him. I also liked the way they used the age difference between him and Parineeti’s character to let out some seriously good jokes particularly through Arshad Warsi. Tushar Kapoor brings back Lucky to life and this is one character that is made for him. Kunal Khemu as Laxman and Shreyas Talpade as Laxman are apt. However, I felt they wasted Tabu in a role that could have been done by anyone.
Overall, I was disappointed by this installment of Golmaal. It just isn’t able to extract the kind of laughter that almost all its predecessors did. It has a plot that is thicker than all its predecessors but which also turns out to be its biggest problem as it comes in the way of the flow of the film’s comedy. I had very high expectations from this film and that I believe is another reason which made it even more lackluster for me. I just wish it was better.
Rating : 2.5/5 (2.5 out of 5 Stars)

When I watched the sun rise on Christmas morning and saw the birds fishing on the sand flats and in the waters of Gladys Inlet I knew it was time to give thanks for being here in this place and being able to appreciate the natural wonders all around me.
The sun rose in a cloud filled sky and as it did the sky and the sea turned darker and a blessing of heavy rain fell early on this Christmas morning damping the dry soils of the Johnstone River Valley.
Several hundred gull-billed terns lifted from their sandy bed and circled the Johnstone River estuary before journeying up the River for a day's hunting.
I sat and watched the changing lights on the outermost sand bar where I saw two birds jumping. It was difficult to photograph, not only was it a long way in the distance but it was looking into the light. As I watched them dance it remainded me of brolgas dancing on the black soil plains of western Queensland. The birds were eastern curlews and they were engaged in a display, something I had never seen them do at Coquette Point. It appeared to be two male eastern curlews possibly competing for the attention of the female which I had seen earlier in the eastuary.
Eastern curlews are known for elaborate displays during courtship prior to the breeding season. This of course is neither the time nor the place for their breeding season. Looking at the bill length of these birds it is likely to be two young males feeling their oats. It was a wonderful display and I only wish I had been a little closer.
As I headed back along the beach I heard the loud excited calls of greater crested terns ahead on the inner sandbar. Two greater crested terns were performing a courtship dance. The birds were dancing in circles, raising their heads then bowing repeatedly as they danced around each other. It was fascinating to watch.
Greater crested terns are monogamous and the pair-bond is maintained throughout the year and sometimes into consecutive breeding seasons, it has been observed.
Eventually the raucous calls became too much for the other terns which were nearby watching the performance, suddenly they flew in to break up the pair.
The lovers stretched their strong wings and flew out to sea.
Coquette Point's mangroves and wetlands are part of the World Heritage Wet Tropics and the beach, sand and mudflats of Coquette Point are recognised as a feeding and nesting habitat for shorebirds. It is for this reason that the area is zoned as a dog free area. The Coquette Point beach can only be accessed at low tide and knowledge of the tides should be gained before walking in the area. It is disappointing that some people do not understand the harm they do when they bring dogs into shorebird habitats. Shorebirds like the little tern and the beach stone curlew are listed as endangered and it only takes a couple of years of failed breeding to totally lose a local population of birds.
transported to the site on
Ian's trolley and erected under Diana's watchful eye.
Below, Pat, Ian, Diana and Joe a job completed
Meanwhile on the beach the little terns were busy fishing and chasing each other along the beach.
Close to the sign we saw scrapes in the sand where the little terns were nesting.
We also observed that the recent spring tide of 3.13m did not overtop the rookery in this area.
Bridgett Darveniza visited the nursery this week and had with her a red-legged pademelon joey. It had been rescued by two caring farm workers. The lads saw a dead pademelon on the road and noticed a movement close by, they stopped the car and found the joey unharmed and took it to Bridgett. What great young men, they deserve a big pat on the back.
Bridgett took the joey to the vet and he will go to a wildlife carer in the New Year, meanwhile Bridgett is taking care of him with the vet's guidance.
Red-legged pademelons live in the Wet Tropics rainforest and their diet consists mainly of fallen rainforest leaves. However, they also eat ferns and fruits. When Bridgett put the joey on the ground under the melaleuca tree he hungrily started eating the leaves.
The drama continues with Cassowary Jessie, Snout and Ky. This week I saw Ky running for his life, Jessie was on the hill drumming at him and Snout was higher up watching. Snout turned to walk into the rainforest and Jessie followed, as if they were courting, Ky came running in behind Snout and they all disappeared into the rainforest. I took a video on a small camera I had in my pocket, but it was too big to upload to the blog so I took some snap shots from the video above, sorry for the quality.
I grabbed my big camera and ran up the hill to see what was going to happen.
Young Ky was whistling pathetically and he was, what I can only describe as, throwing himself around his Dad's neck.
Snout was looking at Jessie and I had the feeling he wanted to join her but Ky continued to plead with his Dad to stay.
In the distance, in a tangle of wait-a-while, Jessie watched Snout and Ky.
Eventually she lost patience and walked away into the rainforest further up the hill.
|Subadult cassowary Pippi|
Alison Whatling from Flying Fish Point reports that Pippi turned up this week and he was looking strong. The children were having a party with lots of noise and Pippi " walked up to the steps as bold as brass and kept peering at them". Alison cut up an apple for him and examined his wound which appears to have completely healed. When he finished the apple he disappeared into the rainforest. Alison I think Pippi had just come in for one last medical check-up and to say thank you for the care.
|Subadult cassowaries, The Twins.|
Alison has seen the "Twins", cassowary Kevin's subadult offspring, a couple of times eating palm fruits in her yard. They have been crossing the Flying Fish Point Road and Alison is worried they will be hit by a car.
Kevin and his three chicks have been seen crossing the road in the same area. The crossing area is on the bend before you enter The Coconuts, so if you are driving along this road please slow down and look out for cassowaries.
A couple of first sightings for me this week, an Oriental cuckoo in the Casuarina cunninghamiana trees behind Sandy Beach at Coquette Point. The oriental cuckoo visits north Queensland from the Northern Hemisphere between September to April and is usually a solitary, rather shy bird. It does not breed in Australia.
I also saw what I think was a female satin flycatcher however it could be a juvenile Leaden. The satin flycatcher migrates to New South Wales, Victoria and Tasmania between October and March. All the time I was watching it the crest was raised. It was chasing insects in the casuarinas.
When I went close to kingfisher's nest he flew past me with a very cranky look.
Enjoy your New Year's party and look out for cranky kingfishers.
All the best for 2015,

Looking out across the valley in Yosemite, California the first thing you see is a landscape dominated by sheer walls of pure granite. The building block for some of the most iconic rock formations on earth, granite is both tough and resilient as well as fiercely beautiful. Born from the magma of a bi-gone time in earth's history when the world was a raw and unforgiving place, this rock was here long before us and will be here long after we are gone.
Granite grey matte finished frames come together with zebra wood temples and black polarized lenses to provide a polished element fit for any style. Think of these shades as having the same capacity for beauty as the rock that inspired it. Whether you want to come off as raw and natural, like the rock in Yosemite, or polished and clean, like the most ornate modern counter-top, these shades will not steer you wrong.

Alan Pardew desperate to make additions to Newcastle squad during January transfer window
Magpies have been beset by injuries
Friday 14 December 2012
Newcastle boss Alan Pardew admits he is desperate to add new faces to his squad in January after being hit with another injury setback ahead of the Magpies' clash with champions Manchester City.
Hatem Ben Arfa is struggling to shake off a hamstring strain and the midfielder's absence would represent another big blow for Pardew's men with Yohan Cabaye already ruled out of the St James's Park clash.
Pardew said: "We look weak with the injuries sustained and we may need to bring in a player or two. Mike (Ashley) has been very supportive and I want to look him in the eye with great results under my belt, but at the moment they are tricky results."
Stoke boss Tony Pulis is unlikely to risk Michael Owen against Everton at the Britannia Stadium despite the 33-year-old coming through 70 minutes of a behind-closed-doors friendly on Tuesday.
Owen professed himself "raring to go" after the game after sitting out with groin and hamstring problems since the end of October.
But Pulis said: "Michael did smashing on Tuesday but he needs more work on the training ground, a bit more strength. He needs another couple of weeks of full training, another game or two first before we chuck him back in."
James McClean hopes Sunderland's 3-0 win over Reading has signalled a change in both his own fortunes and those of his club as they prepare for tomorrow's daunting trip to Old Trafford.
McClean hit his first goal in eight months against the Royals and admitted he is still seeking to hit the heights he reached during a superb spell with the Black Cats last season.
McClean said: "I can turn it around and get back to where I was. I want to top last season's performance. Maybe I can do that with the help around me but it is mainly down to myself."
Norwich look to make it 10 Barclays Premier League games without defeat when they face Wigan at Carrow Road but Chris Hughton has doubts over Wes Hoolahan and Alex Tettey.
Meanwhile Wigan boss Roberto Martinez could have central defenders Gary Caldwell and Ivan Ramis available again after injury as the Latics look to steer clear of the relegation zone.
Fulham boss Martin Jol will cast rumours over Brede Hangeland's future aside as his side look for victory at London rivals Queen's Park Rangers, still without a win this season despite the appointment of Harry Redknapp.
Mahamadou Diarra is a major doubt after he took a knock against Tottenham two weeks ago, while Simon Davies is not ready to feature despite returning to training after a long-term hip injury.
Also tomorrow, Southampton look to continue the recent improvement that has seen them move clear of the relegation zone as they head to Anfield to face Brendan Rodgers' Liverpool.
In Sunday action, Tottenham face Swansea at White Hart Lane while West Bromwich Albion look to get their season back on track at home to West Ham. Reading entertain Arsene Wenger's ailing Arsenal on Monday.

Tesco says that its investigation into how horse DNA was found in three of its frozen beef burger lines has found that its supplier used meat from outside the UK and Ireland.
The evidence tells us that our frozen burger supplier, Silvercrest, used meat in our products that did not come from the list of approved suppliers we gave them.
Nor was the meat from the UK or Ireland, despite our instruction that only beef from the UK and Ireland should be used in our frozen beef burgers.
Consequently we have decided not to take products from that supplier in future.
We took that decision with regret but the breach of trust is simply too great.

Chiara Graf is a doctoral candidate in the Department of Classics and a 2019-2020 Chancellor Henry N.R. Jackman Graduate Fellow in the Humanities. Her research while at the JHI is titled "Wisdom and Other Feelings: Affect, Knowledge, and the Senecan Subject" - an examination of the relationship of affect and natural science in the works of the Roman philosopher, scientist, and tragedian Lucius Annaeus Seneca (c.1 BCE-65 CE). She asks a number of questions:
- What feelings arise in the face of unexpected, beautiful, or frightening natural phenomena?
- What can these feelings teach us?
- How can we harness them towards ethical thought and action?
Chiara argues that affect can provide routes to knowledge and define the subject’s relationship to the cosmos. Her research draws heavily on the history of science, the study of ancient literature, and modern philosophy and critical theory.
As we open the call for applications for next year's Chancellor Henry N.R. Jackman Graduate Fellow, I asked Chiara to reflect on her JHI experience.
JHI: Why did you apply for a JHI Fellowship?
CG: I applied for a JHI fellowship because my research is fundamentally interdisciplinary. I approach ancient scientific and philosophical texts as works of literature: I look for their emotionally charged, descriptive passages, and I think about the rhetoric they employ to make their scientific or philosophical points. I also often draw upon modern critical theory, especially affect theory, as a way of interpreting the ancient texts I work on. For this reason, I thought my research could benefit from an interdisciplinary fellowship like the JHI.
JHI: What experiences were you hoping for?
CG: When I applied for a JHI fellowship, I was hoping for the chance to exchange ideas with scholars from a variety of disciplines. Those expectations have definitely been met, and it’s been amazing to learn about the wide array of innovative projects the fellows are working on. What I wasn’t expecting was the exciting range of “extracurricular” activities we’ve been able to participate in. From reading and discussing Amitav Ghosh’s new novel, to flipping through nineteenth century ship’s logs in the Thomas Fischer Rare Book Library, there have been so many opportunities to engage with our topic, “Strange Weather,” in lateral and interesting ways.
JHI: How has being at the JHI added to your research?
CG: Being at the JHI has exposed me to a vast array of literature and scholarship on the environmental humanities. It’s striking how much modern environmental humanities literature, written in response to the climate crisis, resonates with ancient literature on the natural world. As a group, we’ve read and discussed works by such authors as Dipesh Chakrabarty and Amitav Ghosh. These thinkers raise questions like, to what extent had environmental catastrophe forced us to reconsider the status of human rationality? In my dissertation, I argue that Seneca, writing in the first century CE, is concerned with this same question. It’s been very exciting to get to draw these connections between ancient and modern understandings of our relationship to nature and the environment.
JHI: Has the interaction with other Fellows informed your research and if so, how?
CG: Definitely! It was such a privilege to present my work to the other fellows and hear their feedback. My research concerns affect and emotion, and, as it turns out, many of the other fellows are also working on this topic, though from different angles: for example, Daniel McNeil encouraged me to think a bit more on shame, a topic he has worked on, and Judith Brunton has written extensively about hope. The other fellows here are doing some really engaging and cutting-edge work, and our weekly discussions have been very inspiring!

The Colombian Army recently ordered another 28 Commando wheeled armored vehicles from the United States for $1.13 million each. The Commando is a larger version of the older American M1117 ASVs (Armored Security Vehicles). All of the armored vehicles in the Colombian Army are on wheels, to better control the roads in areas where FARC or drug gangs are active. The army has about 300 armored vehicles, a growing number of them armored hummers.
Four years ago Colombia bought its first 39 American Commando vehicles, which is officially known as the ICV (Infantry Carrier Variant) of the M1117. The ICV is 61 cm (24 inches) longer than the original ASV, weighs 18 tons, and carries a crew of 3 and 8 passengers. Instead of the turret it has a cupola mounting a 12.7mm machine-gun or 40mm automatic grenade launcher.
The original ASV was, in effect, one of the first MRAPs (Mine Resistant Ambush Protected) to get to Iraq. Originally developed in the 1990s for use by MPs (Military Police) in combat zones, only a few were bought initially. It was found that for 1990s era Balkan peacekeeping, existing armored vehicles were adequate and that in the narrow streets of Balkan towns the ASV was too wide to be very maneuverable. Then came Iraq, and suddenly the ASV was very popular. The army got a lot more because military police like these vehicles a lot. The MPs originally wanted 2,000 ASVs but before Iraq were told they would be lucky to get a hundred. After 2003, the MPs got all they wanted. Colombia noted the ASV success in Iraq and got some of their own.
The basic ASV is a 15 ton 4x4 armored car that is built to handle the kind of combat damage encountered in Iraq. The ASVs are, unlike armored hummers, built from the ground up as armored trucks. Basic ASVs are 6.1 meters (20 feet) long and 2.6 meters (8.5 feet) wide, making them a bit larger than hummers. The ASV is heavy enough to survive most roadside bombs and keep going. The ASV is bullet and RPG proof. The turret is the same one used on the U.S. Marine Corps LAV. When the marines went shopping for armored trucks, however, they passed on the ASV. This is believed to be mainly because most armored trucks have more room inside. The ASV carries a crew of 3, with plenty of room for additional gear but not a lot of people. That's why the stretched ICV version was developed. Iraq has also bought the ICV version.

The U.S. federal government is tracking people who decided not to get the COVID-19 vaccine injection, according to bombshell federal government records and video exclusively obtained by NATIONAL FILE. According to the shocking video, unvaccinated people are quietly tracked when they go to the doctor’s office or to the hospital due to a quiet new program proposed and implemented by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC). Government meeting materials make clear that the new program is designed to “track people who are not immunized or only partially immunized.”
A bombshell piece of information was revealed at the September 14-15, 2021 virtual Zoom meeting of the federal government’s ICD-10 Coordination and Maintenance Committee (which includes representatives from the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services, known as CMS, and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention’s (CDC) National Center for Health Statistics). At the meeting, the Committee discussed new categories of “ICD-10” codes that the CDC’s National Center for Health Statistics (NCHS) wanted to create to mark people as “Unvaccinated for COVID-19,” “Partially Vaccinated for COVID-19” and “Other underimmunization status.”
The ICD-10 coding system was created by the World Health Organization (WHO) and doctors are required to use it to categorize different kinds of patients. The ICD-10 codes are preserved in a patient’s electronic health record and used by insurance companies for billing purposes. The CDC’s National Center for Health Statistics maintains the ICD-10 codes. Within ICD-10 codes, there is a category known as “ICD-10-CM” codes (which are reportedly used by the CDC for tracking purposes), and this “CM” category includes the new “Unvaccinated for COVID-19” category and also the “Partially Vaccinated For COVID-19” category and the “other underimmunization status” category.
The Committee made it clear that the new codes would be used to “track” unvaccinated people. At the time of the meeting, people who had adverse reactions to a past vaccine would still be categorized as unvaccinated or partially vaccinated, even if they are physically unable to get more vaccines or boosters.
ICD-10 Coordination and Maintenance Commitee staffer David Berglund, M.D. read from page 194 of a CDC Topic Packet that was prepared for the meeting (READ THE CDC TOPIC PACKET HERE).
The Topic Packet states (emphasis added): “During the current time of the COVID-19 pandemic, immunizations have provided protection for many people, but there is interest in being able to track people who are not immunized or only partially immunized. At the current time, this is a significant modifiable risk factor for morbidity and mortality, and of interest for clinical reasons, as well as of value for public health. NCHS is proposing creation of codes for unvaccinated for COVID-19, and for partially vaccinated for COVID-19.”
“NCHS” stands for the National Center for Health Statistics, which is a U.S. federal government division of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC).
Here is footage from the meeting in which David Berglund discusses the new codes. NATIONAL FILE obtained this video from a password-protected government website.
Berglund stated, “Those are their proposed changes,” referring to the CDC’s NCHS division.
Here is page 194 of the Topic Packet for the meeting, which refers to “interest in being able to track people who are not immunized or only partially immunized.”
An NIH government website states: “ICD-10-CM diagnosis codes will tell the story of each patient encounter, describe etiologies of the disease process, explain the complications of care, provide a basis for medical necessity, support coverage for payment purposes, identify incidence of disease, and support statistical tracking for healthcare practices, as well as provide disease state information on medical practices across the continuum of care.”

If you're a dog bites attorney, you know just how much competition there is in the legal field. As such, it's critical that you stay ahead of the competition when it comes to attracting new clients. One strategy that can help you achieve this goal is to implement local SEO for your law firm. Now, let's explore why local SEO is so important for dog bites attorneys and how you can use it to your advantage in Conroe, TX.
First, let's define what we mean by local SEO. Essentially, local SEO is the practice of optimizing your website and online presence to rank higher in search engine results when someone makes a query related to your location. For dog bites attorneys in Conroe, this means focusing on keywords and phrases that are relevant to your target audience in the Conroe area.
So why is local SEO so important for dog bites attorneys? Here are a few reasons:
1. The majority of potential clients will begin their search for legal help online.
Nowadays, most people turn to the internet when they need help with anything--including legal problems. That means you need to make sure your dog bites law firm comes up in the search results when someone in Conroe searches for help with a dog bite-related issue.
2. Local SEO can help you outrank your competitors.
Given the high level of competition in the legal field, you need every advantage you can get. By optimizing your website for local search, you're more likely to rank higher than your competitors when someone in Conroe searches for legal help with dog bites.
3. You'll attract more relevant traffic to your website.
By focusing on local SEO, you're more likely to attract traffic from people who are actually interested in your services. After all, someone in another part of the country searching for dog bites lawyers won't do you much good--it's the people in Conroe who matter.
With all that said, how can you start implementing local SEO for your dog bites law firm in Conroe? Here are a few strategies to consider:
1. Optimize your website for keywords related to dog bites law.
This includes keywords like "dog bites lawyer," "dog bite attorney," "animal attack lawyer," and so on. Make sure these keywords are present in your website's content and metadata.
2. Claim and optimize your Google My Business listing.
This will help ensure your law firm shows up in Google Maps and other local search results.
3. Build local citations.
These are mentions of your law firm on other websites, such as local directories, review sites, and social media platforms. The more of these you have, the higher your website is likely to rank in local search results.
4. Highlight your services in Conroe, TX.
Make sure your website includes content that specifically emphasizes the dog bites law services you offer in the Conroe area. This might include blog posts, case studies, and more.
If you're a dog bites attorney in Conroe, TX, local SEO is critical to your success. By focusing on keywords, Google My Business, local citations, and more, you can attract more relevant traffic to your website and outrank your competitors.

Gov. Kathy Hochul said the storm affected 11 counties, from the Southern Tier to the North Country.
Home heating prices are up as natural gas supply costs continue to surge worldwide. This comes as households in New York face staggering utility debt, which advocates worry will be difficult to pay back in time.

- CEYLON (Sri Lanka), island, south of India, now an independent state. Legend and tradition, Islamic and Samaritan in origin, connect Ceylon with biblical personalities and events. Adam is said to have descended on the island after his expulsion from Paradise, and Noah's Ark allegedly rested on the mountains of Serandib, which tradition equates with Mount Ararat. The presence of Jews in Ceylon is alluded to by the 9th-century Muslim traveler Abu Za'id al-Ḥasan Sirāfī and the 12th-century Muslim geographer al-Idrīsī. According to the latter, four of the Council of 16 appointed by the king of Ceylon were Jews. The number of Jews living there cannot be ascertained, though an obscure and doubtful passage in benjamin of tudela (mid-12th century) reads either 3,000 or 23,000. When the Dutch East India Company established its foothold in Ceylon, Jews from the Malabar coast may have gone there for the purpose of trade. From 1758 to 1760, Leopold I.J. van Dort, a former Jew born in Holland, was professor of Hebrew at the Christian Theological Seminary in Colombo. In 1809, while Ceylon was under British rule, the chief justice Sir Alexander Johnston was seriously interested in a large-scale immigration of Jews to Ceylon and submitted his project to the government; however no further action was taken. According to the traveler J. Saphir a small group of European Jews led by the brothers Wormser established a coffee estate in the hills above Kandy in 1841. No Jewish communal organization appears to have existed in any part of Ceylon. (Walter Joseph Fischel) -Ceylon-Israel Relations Diplomatic relations between Israel and Ceylon were established only in 1957. In Ceylon, which gained its independence in 1948 and always maintained a pro-Arab policy, opinions were divided with regard to Israel. The Moslem minority there, numbering around 1,000,000 people, has religious, cultural, and historic ties with the Arab world and exerts consistent pressure on its government to support the Arabs against Israel. An additional factor is that the Arab states buy a significant amount of Ceylonese tea, which is the major export item, and threaten to cut off these purchases if Ceylon were to improve its relations with Israel. The policy of the government of India also influences its Ceylonese neighbor. Several Jewish women of European origin, who are married to Ceylonese, are now living on this island, and they constitute its total Jewish population. Despite Israel's efforts, two major political parties in Ceylon continue to support the Arabs. Throughout the years of the relations between Israel and Ceylon, from 1957 until 1970, each Ceylonese government continued, more or less, the policy of its predecessor in supporting the Arab states. The government of Mrs. Bandaranaike, which was elected in 1970, resolved (under Arab and Communist influence) to take a more extreme approach than any previous government and suspended relations with Israel. In announcing this policy, the Ceylonese government declared that it was suspending relations until Israel's retreat from the territories occupied in the Six-Day War (1967) or until an agreement had been reached to the satisfaction of the Arabs. This policy resulted in the closing of Israel's legation in Colombo in August 1970. Low-level relations were resumed in the early 1980s but broken off again in 1990. In 2000, diplomatic relations were fully restored. Israel has supplied Sri Lanka with arms. (Yitzhak Navon) -BIBLIOGRAPHY: J.E. Tennent, Ceylon, 2 (Eng., 1860), 250ff.; J.

Crystal structure of the ERK5 kinase domain in complex with an MKK5 binding fragment
[MK07_HUMAN] Plays a role in various cellular processes such as proliferation, differentiation and cell survival. The upstream activator of MAPK7 is the MAPK kinase MAP2K5. Upon activation, it translocates to the nucleus and phosphorylates various downstream targets including MEF2C. EGF activates MAPK7 through a Ras-independent and MAP2K5-dependent pathway. May have a role in muscle cell differentiation. May be important for endothelial function and maintenance of blood vessel integrity. MAP2K5 and MAPK7 interact specifically with one another and not with MEK1/ERK1 or MEK2/ERK2 pathways. Phosphorylates SGK1 at Ser-78 and this is required for growth factor-induced cell cycle progression. Involved in the regulation of p53/TP53 by disrupting the PML-MDM2 interaction.     [MP2K5_HUMAN] Acts as a scaffold for the formation of a ternary MAP3K2/MAP3K3-MAP3K5-MAPK7 signaling complex. Activation of this pathway appears to play a critical role in protecting cells from stress-induced apoptosis, neuronal survival and cardiac development and angiogenesis.
Publication Abstract from PubMed
Mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK) activation depends on a linear binding motif found in all MAPK kinases (MKK). In addition, the PB1 (Phox and Bem1) domain of MKK5 is required for extracellular signal regulated kinase 5 (ERK5) activation. We present the crystal structure of ERK5 in complex with an MKK5 construct comprised of the PB1 domain and the linear binding motif. We show that ERK5 has distinct protein-protein interaction surfaces compared with ERK2, which is the closest ERK5 paralog. The two MAPKs have characteristically different physiological functions and their distinct protein-protein interaction surface topography enables them to bind different sets of activators and substrates. Structural and biochemical characterization revealed that the MKK5 PB1 domain cooperates with the MAPK binding linear motif to achieve substrate specific binding, and it also enables co-recruitment of the upstream activating enzyme and the downstream substrate into one signaling competent complex. Studies on present day MAPKs and MKKs hint on the way protein kinase networks may evolve. In particular, they suggest how paralogous enzymes with similar catalytic properties could acquire novel signaling roles by merely changing the way they make physical links to other proteins.
