[vc_row][vc_column][vc_single_image image=”106402″ img_size=”full” add_caption=”yes”][vc_column_text]When conservative Fox News commentator Tucker Carlson was invited to deliver the distinguished Roy H Park Lecture at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill’s journalism school, outrage exploded online.
Current and former students offered fierce criticism of the choice, especially on Twitter where some called Carlson racist and a propagandist. Many said they were disappointed and ashamed. Carlson, people criticised, was not a journalist, but an entertainer. What business did he have speaking to budding journalists? Others pointed to Carlson’s comments about immigrants — they make the US “poorer and dirtier” — and his critiques of diversity, as well as his use of language, critics say, upholds white supremacy.
Despite the backlash, the school moved forward with the lecture, which was largely uneventful. Students and faculty listened. Some audience members asked pointed questions. And then it was over.
That’s how John Robinson, a professor at UNC-Chapel Hill’s journalism school, remembers it. He understood the outrage but said it was a teachable moment.
“Students aren’t snowflakes. They understand BS when they hear it,” he said. “I just don’t see any evidence that students are intolerant of others’ views when it comes to speakers.”
Yet last month US President Donald Trump signed an executive order to uphold freedom of speech on college campuses in response to a supposed “crisis”.
“Under the guise of speech codes, safe spaces and trigger warnings, these universities have tried to restrict free thought, impose total conformity, and shut down the voices of great young Americans like those here today,” Trump said during the signing ceremony, surrounded by predominantly white students in conservative organisations.
Not much is changing. The order encourages universities to “foster environments that promote open, intellectually engaging, and diverse debate” through the First Amendment — freedom of speech. It requires that universities receiving federal research or education grant money must “promote free inquiry”.
But public universities in the US already have to uphold the First Amendment if they receive funding from the federal government. Further, some academics are arguing that the order could actually hurt freedom of speech by causing universities to self-censor who they invite to campus.
In a survey conducted by professor Tori Ekstrand of UNC-Chapel Hill students, 86 per cent said the university should invite speakers with a variety of viewpoints to campus, including those whose perspectives vary from their own. On the national level, the Knight Foundation found that extreme actions, including violence and shouting down speakers, are largely condemned.
So, who is Trump protecting?
In early April, three students from the University of Arizona protested an on-campus presentation by U.S. Customs and Border Protection agents, calling them a “murder patrol” and “an extension of the KKK”. All three students were charged with misdemeanours by police: “interference with the peaceful conduct of an educational institution”; one of the students was also charged with “threats and intimidation”. A county prosecutor has yet to decide if a prosecution will go forward.
Trump has not commented on the incident, but many are following the case because it is unusual for arrests to follow a nonviolent protest, especially one on campus. Commentators have said the strong reprimand was a result of the recent order.
The case in Arizona relates to a larger issue on campuses: punishing students who protest. In 2017 the Goldwater Institute, a conservative think tank, published a report arguing that freedom of speech is under attack on American college campuses — citing “shout downs” that interrupt speakers, safe spaces and restrictive policies. The group created a model bill, establishing punitive measures for students and others who interfere with free-speech — essentially punishing protesters on campus. It also prevents administrators from disinviting speakers, no matter how controversial. Many states, including Arizona and North Carolina, have adopted versions of the Goldwater bill.
In a report on the bill, the American Association of University Professors put it bluntly: the legislation “seeks to support what it sees as the embattled minority of conservatives on campus against the ‘politically correct’ majority”.
And for those who find themselves outside the conservative viewpoint?
“It’s an attempt at intimidation,” said Michael Behrent, vice-president of the AAUP’s North Carolina conference. “The argument is to try and force members of the progressive left … to make them feel threatened and endangered, rather than an attempt to outright block their free speech.”
A chilling effect. And this isn’t the first time Trump has attempted this. In 2016, Trump said he planned to change libel laws to make it easier to sue news organisations. The same year, he threatened to imprison or revoke the citizenship of those who burned the flag.
“What we see coming out of his legacy is this notion of protecting conservative speech,” said Kendric Coleman, a professor at Valdosta University who studied the role of safe spaces in the LGBTQ+ community. Trump “is trying to redefine harassment speech into free speech”.
Technically, hate speech is protected by the US constitution, as long as it doesn’t incite violence. But detractors say some speakers — like white nationalist Richard Spencer, who has been disinvited from a number of events and universities — may actually cross the line into incitement of violence.
But some university administrations are hesitant to actually define the line between protected free-speech and incitement to violence. And with new policies coming from the state and federal level, with the intention of protecting free-speech, that line may only become more blurry.
At the heart of the debate lies this question: Should speech that is harmful to certain groups be protected? In the survey conducted by Ekstrand, 93 per cent said others should be allowed to express unpopular opinions on campus. But that number drops to 61 per cent when that speech is offensive to others.
The Knight Foundation also found that American students consider both protecting free-speech and promoting inclusivity as important to democracy. But only 37 per cent of students identifying as Republican said that it is “extremely important” to promote inclusivity — compared to 63 per cent of Democrats.
This is where policies like Trump’s executive order and the Goldwater bill lie. While the left prioritises inclusivity at the expense of free speech, the right resists in opposition.
At stake remains whose voices receive protection, and whose get censored. [/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_basic_grid post_type=”post” max_items=”4″ element_width=”6″ grid_id=”vc_gid:1556180903639-20dca59b-8321-10″ taxonomies=”8843″][/vc_column][/vc_row]

As winter comes to a close and spring approaches, it’s the perfect time to give your garage door some much-needed attention. After months of use, your garage door may be in need of some maintenance to keep it running smoothly. As a homeowner or property manager, it’s important to address any issues before they become major problems. In this blog post, we’ll share some tips on how to keep your garage door in top shape this March.
- Lubricate moving parts
One of the simplest and most important things you can do to maintain your garage door is to lubricate the moving parts. Use a lubricant specifically designed for garage doors, and apply it to the springs, rollers, hinges, and bearings. This will help to reduce friction and wear, and prolong the life of your garage door.
- Check the weatherstripping
The weatherstripping around your garage door is designed to keep out cold air, water, and debris. Over time, weatherstripping can become cracked or damaged, allowing air and moisture to enter. Check the weatherstripping around your garage door and replace it if necessary. This will help to keep your garage warmer and drier, and prevent rust and corrosion.
- Inspect the tracks and rollers
The tracks and rollers are critical components of your garage door system. Over time, they can become bent or worn, causing the door to operate improperly. Inspect the tracks and rollers for any signs of damage or wear, and replace them if necessary. This will help to ensure that your garage door operates smoothly and safely.
- Test the safety features
Garage doors are heavy and can be dangerous if they are not properly maintained. Most garage doors have safety features such as photoelectric sensors and automatic reversal systems that prevent the door from closing on a person or object. Test these safety features regularly to make sure they are working properly. If you notice any issues, contact a professional garage door repair company like Sameday Garage Doors to make any necessary repairs.
- Schedule a professional maintenance service
Even with regular maintenance, your garage door may still need professional attention. A professional garage door technician can inspect your door, identify any potential problems, and perform any necessary repairs.

Bible Of The Devil - "Freedom Metal" (CD)
"Freedom Metal" track listing:
1. Hijack The Night
2. Night Oath
3. The Turning Stone
5. Heat Feeler
6. Ol' Girl
7. Greek Fire
8. 500 More
Reviewed by heavytothebone2 on January 8, 2009
On their fifth album, "Freedom Metal," Chicago stoner metal band Bible Of The Devil has taken all the elements that the genre is known for - the fuzzy lo-fi production, the intentionally-sloppy instrument work - and added their own twist on it. Blending in influences ranging from late 70’s Motorhead to "Killers"-era Iron Maiden, "Freedom Metal" is a high-octane blast from the past that gives metal the kick in the balls it desperately needs.
A lot of that has to do with the guitar duo of Mark Hoffmann and Nate Perry. Neither one is content to stick to the standard rhythm guitar/lead guitar roles; both of them do battle in the midst of the eight tracks on "Freedom Metal." Their chemistry is immediately evident, a bonding that masks other great guitar pairings like Tipton/Downing, Smith/Murray, and Clapton/Allman. The solos fly free, with the steady rhythm section of Darren Amaya and Greg Spalding, on bass and drums respectively, keeping the music from falling apart.
“Hijack The Night” is a bold and daring opener, a seven-minute epic that doesn’t ease the listener into the album slowly with a short instrumental like most metal bands. The guitar licks are fast, Hoffmann’s vocals are strong, and the chorus is highly memorable. In fact, most of the songs have noteworthy choruses, a trait of strong songwriters.
There are several longer songs sprinkled throughout "Freedom Metal," which are up to the high quality met on the opener. “Womanize” blazes a trail of destruction that doesn’t have time for a clean break or sappy lyrics; just a tale of seduction and a one-way path to hell. “Ol’ Girl” has a sleazy 70’s hard rock feel ala Aerosmith and UFO, mixed with the technical wizardry of Angel Witch and Tygers of Pan Tang. Closer “500 More” is a call to arms, a march to the plains of death, with an axe in one hand and a glass of brew in the other. A subtle clean electric guitar break is a welcome surprise; however, it is a short reprieve, as the band comes back firing on all cylinders for a thrilling conclusion.
The rest of the tracks hold up well to the more ambitious tunes. “Heat Feeler” is half Southern acoustic jam, half electric animal, with soaring guitar solos that burn a path in the sky. The one-two punch of “Night Oath” and “The Turning Stone” slow the pace down a bit and provide a breath of air after “Hijack The Night,” but they both are far from filler, two strong tracks with Perry and Hoffmann showing off their vocal harmonies in addition to their killer leads.
"Freedom Metal" is a fantastic album that should finally get Bible Of The Devil noticed in the metal circles. With phenomenal guitar work and a varied collection of tracks, "Freedom Metal" has something for every metal fan who loves to play air-guitar and crank music so loud the neighbors have the cops on speed dial. Some may be turned off by the retro sound, and the production isn’t as clean as most modern albums, but that helps to lend a unique charm to "Freedom Metal," one that stands out in the crowded sea that metal has presently become.
Highs: Stellar guitar work, strong songwriting, a knack for memorable choruses
Lows: Production is mediocre, could have used one more track
Bottom line: An energetic and note-worthy album that will appeal to fans of heavy and stoner metal.

So, I'm thinking that Satan is wearing a parka today, as hell surely must have frozen over for me to not just like Christina Aquilera's new cd, but to like it so much, I'm devoting a blog to it.
It wasn't until Christina's second single "What a Girl Wants" came out in 1999 that I took notice of her. I really liked the song, the voice and the image. She definitely stood out among the pop tarts of her day. Even though Britney seemed to garner more attention, everyone knew it was Christina who would eventually prevail. Being armed with amazing vocal pipes and a hard-edged determination, it was inevitable that she would have the most staying power. As time progressed and Christina got a little older, she seemed hellbent on pushing the sexual image boundaries that had long since been conquered by Madonna and then Janet Jackson. Unfortunately, her image became bigger than her music. When you have limited vocal skills like Madonna, Janet and Britney, it's okay for your image to take over. But when you a power house voice like Christina, you should really make your music the focal point of your music career. To her credit, she never missed an opportunity to show us that she could sing, it just seems that too often we were distracted by her mane of black dreadlocks, skimpy clothing or caked on make up to take notice. And it seemed to me that when she did sing, she over sang every note of every song. It was though she kept showing us, "Yes, this white girl can sing." I actually got to the point where I couldn't stand to see her on tv or hear what she had to say. Then Christina disappeared for a little while. When she re-emerged, she seemed to be channeling Madonna, Gwen and Marilyn with her platinum locks and bright red lips. Regardless of the fact that Gwen still rocks this look, it works for Christina. She doesn't look like she's trying to cop the 40's starlet look, she actually looks like a 40's starlet. Along with her new look came a new CD called "Back to Basics." It's actually a double CD. I had read a few reviews of the cd and decided to take a chance and give her the benefit of the doubt and buy it.
I've listened to the cds many times and I'll go ahead and get the negative stuff out of the way. The first cd is a tribute to some of the jazz and R&B greats from days gone by. My only complaint about this cd is that it rides too heavy on samples. I don't mean the musical samples as much as I mean the samples of people talking and the references to the legends. It's a small complaint, but I had to have at least one. Okay, I have two. The big band 40's number sounds so much like "Boogie Woogie Bugle Boy" that the lyrics are interchangeable. I was just disappointed not to see the original song given props in the credits.
Now onto the good stuff. You can hear how much her voice has matured. You can also tell that she takes damn good care of her voice as well. And I was so happy to hear her just sing and not oversing every note. She seems to have found the happy medium between singing and vocal gymnastics. That comes with maturity. The older you get, the more you are able to understand your talent and you learn how to reel it in and mangage it. She seems more in control of her voice than ever before.
The first CD is R&B and it opens with a kick ass gospel tune called appropriately, "Makes Me Wanna Pray." This song did make me think of "Like a Prayer," but for no other reason than that was the last pop CD I know of that opened with a pop star backed by a gospel choir in a song that could be about romantic love or a song devoted to a higher power. A few more songs into the disk is "F.U.S.S." Which obviously means Fuck You Scott Storch. For those who don't know who he is, he's one of the biggest producers in the music industry. Notice I didn't say "best." He worked on her last cd and has crafted hits for some of music's most popular stars. He did "Candy Shop" for 50 Cent. She asked him to work on this CD and the rumour is he demanded he and his posse be flown to L.A. in a private jet. Her reply? F.U.S.S. To her credit, without him, she went on to produce a phenomenal album and he went on to produce Paris Hilton's joke of a CD. My favorite song on disk one is "Without You." It starts with a flittering acousitc guitar and then is joined by a sweet little beat and her understated vocal singing about not wanting her man to ever go away. If I had a boyfriend, I could see putting this song on a mix cd for him. It's a sweet song.
I'm definitely more into disk two, which is a cd of songs made to sound like they were written in the 1940's. It starts out with a bang on "Candyman." The tune starts with a big band beat as you hear a marine calling cadence. Then playing all three Andrew Sisters, she sings about the boy with the tattoos up and down his arm. "He's a one stop shop, makes my panties drop, he's a sweet talking, sugar coated, candyman." One thing I like about this cd is that it's just a little bit naughty. The song "Naughty Naughty Boy" will immediately conjure up images of Jessica Rabbit. And rightly so. From the muted wah-wah trumpets to her breathy vocal, it's a sensual/sexual dynamo! The song "I Got Trouble" is recorded so it actually sounds like you're playing an old scratchy record. The effect is even added to her vocal. "Hurt" and "Mercy Me" are powerhouse ballads that give her the opportunity to show off her vocal prowess. "Save Me From Myself" is a great little acoustic number with a beautiful understated vocal. It's a valentine to her husband. My favorite song on the second disk and my favorite song period right now is "The Right Man." This isn't just a song, this is an experience. She sings with a full orchestra and a choir, all of whom are individually credited. The song is about her father not being at her wedding. For me the song seems like she was completely ready to get married knowing her estranged father would not be in attendance and then just before she walked down the aisle, it really hit her what it meant for him not to be there. The song starts off soft and then it takes off with a vocal performance that will give you chills. You can hear how him not being there was the thorn in her side on what was the most amazing day of her life. As the song goes on, you are carried away by her and the choir and just when you think she can't sing any higher or stronger, she goes up that one more time and it is breathtaking. So The Right Man she speaks of in the song is her husband. It's such a beautiful way for her to end such a great 2 CD musical journey. Having not been much of a fan the past few years, she's definitely got me hooked now. I'm excited to see where she goes from here. I'm thinking I may go see her on tour just to hear her sing "The Right Man" live. It's that good.

The gains of the revolution in Tunisia could be lost if the election is further postponed or disintegrates amid politically inspired violence, according to the leader of the country's largest party.
Rached Ghannouchi, the leader of al-Nahda, the main Islamist party, warned that the deferral of polling day – from 24 July to 23 October – may not be the last postponement, and the staging of an election at the start of the academic year and at a time of student protest and workers' strikes could present an opportunity to foment chaos.
He described the postponement as an attempt by parties who had cohabited former president Zine el-Abidine Ben Ali's dictatorship to regain their posts.
Ghannouchi, who returned to Tunisia in January after more than 20 years in exile, said: "They [the former elite] are trying to escape the ballot box. Those whose weight is low do not want to stand on the scales."
As it is, al-Nahda and the leading liberal faction, the Progressive Democratic Party, have made compromises to keep the electoral process on track in the hope that the democratic transition was more important that the result.
Al-Nahda agreed reluctantly to the deferral of the election, after all other parties accepted it, but they are not confident the reasons stated are genuine.
"There is now talk of organising presidential elections, or amendments to the constitution and organising a referendum, or turning this Council for the Achievement of the Aims of the Revolution into a parliament, which would promulgate rules," Ghannouchi said.
"Actually it is doing this already, before the election of the constituent assembly, which shows that this assembly for some people is an undesirable thing."
In an interview with the Guardian, Ghannouchi said he was proud that the uprising in Tunisia had lit the flame that ended the long Arab night, but warned that for this reason the election in Tunisia was being keenly watched in Egypt.
It is due to hold its own parliamentary elections in September, but has yet to decide voting rules or electoral boundaries.
There are no dependable opinion polls on what will happen to the 80 political parties in Tunisia.
Ghannouchi said the dominant representative of old political elite was the Ettajid party, the former Tunisian socialist party for whom his party was enemy No 1: "They have no confidence in their ability to compete with al-Nahda. Hence they seek one postponement after another," he said.
"Placing the date of the election at the start of the academic year could be a cause for postponing them again, because we have seen great instability and unrest with the student and worker movement."
Ghannouchi believed that the revolution was irreversible: "The Tunisian people have liberated themselves and will never accept a new dictator, under any name, Islamic or any other.
"But there is a fear of chaos if the transition period is long and the country loses time."
Tourism has halved and unemployment doubled since the uprising. Life for most Tunisians was harder now, but, he said their smiles were wider.
"They feel confident and on a psychological level we can already see this boost," he said. "There are fewer road accidents, lower rates of divorce, and fewer people going to psychiatric clinics. Tunisians feel more hopeful of the future and there is more social solidarity and cohesion."
But the Islamist leader was bitter about the transitional government's pusillanimous attempts to deal with the legacy of dictatorship.
Transparency International put Ben Ali's personal wealth at $5bn (£3bn) and his family's at $12bn, which together is the size of the government's budget.
Ghannouchi said the interim government was putting more effort into seeking crippling foreign loans than it was in recovering its own stolen assets from banks abroad.
This week the ousted president and his wife were sentenced to 35 years in prison and fined $66m after a trial in absentia for embezzlement and misuse of public funds.
Ben Ali and wife Leila Trabelsi fled to Saudi Arabia, which has refused to extradite them. But the former dictator has yet to be tried on criminal charges of murder and treason.
Ghannouchi, who returned to a hero's welcome after his years in exile in London, heads the most liberal Islamic party in the region.
He said he was confident of his party's ability to function in a pluralist multiparty democracy.
"When the electoral law was being discussed, the demand that half of each party list had to include women candidates was expected to cause us Islamists embarrassment," he said.
"It did the opposite, because we were able to mobilise more women into our movement in rural areas than any other party could do."


Last Halloween, one of the most notable additions to the arsenal was the Zeus machine gun. A powerful weapon with a unique perk called Chain Lightning. If you're a bit of a science enthusiast yourself, you probably guessed what this ability does: it sends lightning from one enemy to another, should they stand close to each other, damaging everyone in the process.
Let's see what else:
- Excellent rate of fire, ten shots per second — this machine gun is the fastest in its class.
- The mag holds 60 bullets.
- The maximum firing distance is 29 meters.
- Zeus unlocks at level 22 for 1000 fragments and can be upgraded two times at levels 28/34, for 500/1000 fragments, respectively.
Zeus is a great support weapon for wreaking havoc among enemy ranks and doing multi-target damage to groups of opponents. And when you're not sending thunderbolts in all directions, you can marvel at how gorgeous it is. The best part is that Zeus is featured in this year's Halloween fair. Be sure to check it out!

Only one year remains before the much-anticipated 2008 Summer Olympics Games in Beijing and Christians worldwide have kicked off a yearlong prayer campaign for a spiritual harvest in China.
While the Chinese government threw a huge festival on Wednesday – one year ahead of the Aug. 8, 2008 games – Christians in nations across the world were on their knees praying for persecuted Christians in China and for a spiritual revival in the country.
“The Beijing Olympics is only one year away; so we need to blanket Chinese believers right now with our prayers,” urged Dr. Carl Moeller, president and CEO of Open Doors USA, in a statement one day before the official start of Open Doors’ “One Minute/One Year/One Country” prayer campaign.
As part of the campaign, participants began praying Wednesday for at least one minute at 8 p.m. Beijing time (8 a.m. EDT) and will continue to do so every day until the 2008 Summer Olympics with the hope of changing the spiritual state of China, improving religious freedom and freeing imprisoned Christian leaders.
“Already there are reports of increased pressure on house church leaders and the expulsion of foreign missionaries,” noted Moeller, referring to the more than 100 foreign missionaries that were expelled from China between April and June as a result of a government-sponsored campaign to prevent evangelization during the Olympics.
“And the raids and arrest are expected to increase as the start of the Olympic draws closer. China wants to weed out the potential ‘troublemakers’ and put its best foot forward to the world. And Christians could be caught in the crossfire,” said Moeller.
Communist China has been severely criticized for its human rights and religious freedom violations, especially as it prepares to host the Olympics, which will be held Aug. 8-24, 2008.
Among the top concerns in China for Christians are the persecution of unregistered house churches and the forced return of North Korean refugees in China who face torture and even death upon repatriation.
Earlier this year, Moeller said the Beijing Olympics presents “an awesome opportunity for believers in the West to unite in prayer … not only for our fellow Christians but for the communist government of China to grant religious freedom to all worshippers, especially house church members.”
“And an opportunity to pray for those dedicated Christians who are being persecuted,” he added.
“I encourage you to sign up now for the One Minute/One Year/One Country campaign on our website,” urged Moeller in his statement Tuesday.
“Tell others about the campaign. Together we can make a difference. And prayer is the No. 1 way,” he added.
Believers who participate in the campaign will receive a monthly prayer email calendar and also a daily email brief to update them on the situation in China and offer specific prayer requests.

The Atezr P20 Plus is also a reliable option for industrial-strength mass production for small- and medium-sized organizations.
The P20 Plus is a powerful diode laser engraver and cutter, built by the Atezr team after years of research on laser engraving machines, which can meet the needs of large, medium, and small engraving and cutting projects. The newly upgraded Atezr P20 Plus adopts spot compression technology and has four 6W diodes which compress the laser spot to 0.08 × 0.06 mm and have a 99.6% output efficiency. The P20 Plus high-density laser’s cutting speed is 40% faster than that of regular laser engraving equipment, and it can readily cut black acrylic that is 25 mm or even 30 mm thick, as well as 0.3 mm-thick metal. Also, it can cut through 12 mm of solid wood at once, leaving clean, fine-cut edges with less residual scorch.
The P20 Plus uses a new panoramic filter glass eye protection design that can filter 97% of UV rays. The glass design and cooling fan housing avoid burns when working at high temperatures and extend the machine’s service life. The built-in 256-bit color scale intelligently identifies the proportion of red, green, and blue in the engraving work based on the various grayscales of the image material, producing clear and complete work. The P20 Plus has built-in fume filtration with air assist to properly eliminate the fumes produced during the laser engraving process.
The P20 Plus’s 32-bit motherboard allows for faster and more reliable engraving, and it has Wi-Fi connectivity for quicker transmission rates. Both offline engraving and app functionality are supported. People can use a TF card or the Atezr app to complete outdoor engraving and cutting tasks when no computer connection is available.
The P20 Plus is a technological breakthrough by the Atezr team, and Atezr will soon introduce P5 (5W) and P10 (10W) laser engraving and cutting machines. The 5W laser engraving machine is ideal for families to create simple toys for kids on weekends and afternoons, spend quality time together, and inspire kids’ creativity. For those who enjoy using laser engraving machines, 10W is another helpful tool for fostering creativity. The 10W laser engraver is useful for innovative teaching strategies in schools. With its quick and accurate laser, projects are simple to implement, and students can actively engage in the course.

text: Tumor cells often utilize developmental processes in order to progress towards advanced disease. Together, these studies mechanistically demonstrate a previously unrecognized interplay between ERK1/2, TWIST1, and MMP-1 which is likely significant in the progression of melanoma towards metastasis. (4). In mammals, TWIST1 expression during a precise time frame in embryogenesis allows for the migration and differentiation of 16837-52-8 manufacture several mesodermal and neural crest cell lineages (5, 6). Many of the phenotypes attributed to TWIST1 occur as a result of its binding to E-box consensus sites in gene promoters, ultimately leading to transcriptional activation or repression (4, 7). TWIST1 is overexpressed in many primary tumors including colon, breast, prostate, and gastric carcinomas (8C11). In agreement with its role in embryonic cell migration, TWIST1 overexpression has been linked to increased tumor cell migration, invasion, and metastasis (7, 11C13). These actions of TWIST1 have been correlated with changes in classical EMT targets such as E-cadherin and N-cadherin (7, 11, 12); however, the extent to which TWIST1 regulates non-EMT targets is not fully understood. Recently, TWIST1 was found to be highly up-regulated in the vast majority of melanoma tumors and cell lines, and was correlative to worse patient survival (8, 14). Melanoma is an aggressive skin cancer which arises from neural crest-derived melanocytes (15, 16837-52-8 manufacture 16). Invasion plays a critical role in melanoma progression. If cells are mainly confined 16837-52-8 manufacture to expansion within the epidermis (radial growth phase, RGP), melanoma is easily cured through surgical intervention (15, 16). If undiagnosed and properties of invasion begin to emerge, cells escape the basement membrane and expand through the deeper dermal layers. This conversion to vertical growth phase (VGP) is the direct precursor to metastasis (15). The depth of melanoma 16837-52-8 manufacture invasion and tumor thickness are used as predictors of poor clinical prognosis (17, 18); however, the mechanisms underlying melanoma invasion from the epidermis into the dermis remain poorly characterized. Up-regulation of the RAS-RAF-MEK-ERK1/2 signaling pathway may be critically important in this process. Hyperactivation of this pathway is common in multiple cancer types but especially in melanoma, where mutations in N-RAS (15C20%) or B-RAF (40C60%) are prevalent (15, 16, 19). Additionally, mutant B-RAF, especially B-RAFV600E, is required for enhanced growth and invasion of melanoma cells (20). Many of the factors influencing increased melanoma invasion downstream of RAS-RAF-MEK-ERK1/2 are unknown. Since TWIST1 plays important roles in the developing and highly migratory neural crest, and since tumor cells often aberrantly regulate developmental pathways, we sought to determine the role of TWIST1 in melanoma invasive growth. In this study, we have found that TWIST1 promotes invasion in 3D dermal-mimetic assays and reveal an ERK1/2-TWIST1-MMP-1 pathway which likely will have a major impact on invasion and metastasis. Materials and Methods siRNA Transfection WM793 and WM115 cells were transfected for 4 hours with chemically synthesized siRNAs (Dharmacon, Lafayette, CO) at a final concentration of 25nM using Oligofectamine (Invitrogen). Transfections were harvested at 72 hours. siRNA sequences are listed in Supplementary Table S1. Quantitative RT-PCR RNA was extracted from cells using PerfectPure RNA Cultured Cell Kit (5Prime, Gaithersburg, MD) as per the manufacturers instructions. Conversion to cDNA was achieved through the iScript cDNA Synthesis Kit (Biorad). Quantitative RT-PCR was carried out using iQ SYBR Green Supermix (Biorad), 0.4M oligonucleotide primers, and 0.1g cDNA. CENPA Primer sets can be found in Supplementary Table S1. Relative fold change in mRNA levels were calculated after normalization to -Actin using the comparative Ct method (21). Statistical Analysis Statistical analysis was performed using a two-tailed Students t test calculated with Excel (Microsoft). A p value < 0.05 was considered statistically significant. Additional methods Detailed methods for cell culture, patient samples, lentiviral and adenoviral construction/transduction, invasion/migration assays, spheroid outgrowth asssays, live/dead staining, 16837-52-8 manufacture EdU incorporation assays, dual-luciferase assays, ChIP, biotinylated oligonucleotide pulldown assays, inhibitors, and western blot analysis are available in Supplementary Materials and Methods. Results TWIST1 is up-regulated in melanoma cell lines, particularly in VGP, downstream of oncogenic B-RAF and is positively regulated by active ERK1/2 signaling We explored the TWIST1 expression profile across an extensive panel of melanoma cell lines representing various tumor stages and genotypes. Our results show that TWIST1 protein is up-regulated in all melanoma cell lines tested compared to neonatal human epidermal melanocytes (NHEM) (Fig. 1A). Furthermore, TWIST1 protein is especially high in.

On October 29, local time, the first estimate released by the US Department of Commerce showed that the actual gross domestic product (GDP) of the United States in the third quarter of this year increased by 33.1% at an annual rate.
The analysis believes that the United States’ third-quarter GDP growth at an annual rate was based on a sharp drop of 31.4% in the second quarter. In fact, because the epidemic continues to worsen, the alarm facing the US economy is far from being lifted.
At present, with the surge in confirmed cases and the difficulty in delivering relief measures, corporate bankruptcies and permanent unemployment increase, the momentum of the US economy is weakening. Many economists predict that it will take at least two to three years for the U.S. economy and employment to return to pre-epidemic levels.

Marcus Barnett’s top tips on improving the design of your garden
Marcus Barnett, one of the UK’s leading award-winning landscape and garden designers, offers some advice on how to improve the design of your garden.
Just back from the 2015 RHS Chelsea Flower Show, where Marcus was awarded a Gold Medal for his garden sponsored by The Daily Telegraph, (pictured above) he has put pen to paper to give us some inspiration for our own gardens.
With a reputation for creating gardens which feel particularly personal to a client he and his team produce gardens which have both impact and a sense of romance. He prefers to use relatively natural planting to complement the surrounding landscape and architecture of a home.
In this feature Marcus outlines some of the points you need to consider when improving the design of your garden.
1 Design Overview:
Create a garden where space feels comfortable, relaxed and generous, but which also has a ‘sense of place’ at its heart. Don’t be afraid of simplicity and restraint.
Think about how each area of the garden works individually as well as within the overall design. Do you want a space to feel intimate and enclosed or open? Decide whether you want to look back at the house or towards a prominent focal point in the distance.
Build a pond or lake to reflect light and create a sense of space. Soften the feel of a garden with the subtle movement of a water feature and use running water to cover unwanted noise.
Choose plants to suit the mood you want to create – evergreen topiary for a formal feel and an abundance of umbels and spires appearing through perennials for a relaxed feel.
Light green, grey and silver foliage tend to make a space feel bigger while bolder, darker green foliage is best used in larger gardens as a foil for coloured planting. Fragrance is also a good way to reinforce a specific mood.
5 Paving and other surfaces:
Use small cobbles to make a space feel bigger and large pieces of natural sawn stone or smooth terrazzo to make an area feel clean and uncluttered. Think about how the colour and warmth of any stone will complement nearby buildings and existing plants. Consider softening large expanses of hard surfacing with gravel and self-seeding plants, such as Erigeron karvinskianus, which will grew through it.
6 Walls and boundaries:
Divide the garden in a way which suits each area’s mood. Stone walls will add a more structural and architectural feel, while a soft deciduous hedge is a good way to create a romantic, hidden oasis, especially in smaller gardens.
7 Different perspectives:
As well as considering the views from the house, think about what people see as they move from one part of the garden to the next. Create a change of pace and add interest by giving each area its own feel, using different planting, orientation, surfaces and structures.
8 Visual links and focal points:
In smaller gardens, blurring the boundary between inside and out creates a greater sense of space. Consider extending indoor flooring out on to a terrace. Similar colours used indoors and outdoors can also be used to form a visual link. An outdoor worktop can also be aligned with a matching one inside the kitchen. In larger gardens, use sculpture to create focal points which will help to ‘steer’ people around the garden.
Avoid long periods with little or no colour by planting Iris reticulata for early spring colour and Primulas and Fritillaries which will add interest a few weeks later.
After the riot of late spring and summer is over, Amelanchier, Liquidamber, Birch or a carpet of cyclamen will add to Autumn colour. The brightly coloured stems of Cornus and Willlow, as well as Hamamelis, Sarococca, Hellebores, Viburnum bodnantense ‘Dawn’ and Lonicera x purpusii ‘Winter Beauty’ will brighten up the darker months.
Choose garden furniture in the same way as you would for a house. For example, to create a relaxing and rustic look, choose a vintage wooden table and use cushions and throws to add texture and colour. Lighting is a great way to reinforce the mood you want to achieve – even a few hurricane lanterns will add romance to a summer evening. Think about how you will use your garden – practicality is key to a garden functioning as you want it to.

October 3rd, 2011 11:13 PM
With that much money, I would get myself a Ruger GP100 and send it off to Marc at Gemini Customs in KY. and have him give it a fantastic going over.Look up his site at GeminiCustoms.com and you will see what I mean. He did my SP101 .327 mag. and it is one heck of a job and one great looking gun.I just sent it in again to have it ported, which I wanted to do the first time but hesitated.Now I can't wait to get it back... again! You should also think of a S&W M&PC 9mm--- sweet gun. Happy buying!

That's pretty much an individual choice. If I were wanting to prepare for a possible SHTF scenario, I would add the following;
Steyr SSG 69 .308 Winchester with scope $2,000.00: Sniping, Perimeter control, hunting
Ruger 10/22 with scope $250.00: Plinking, varmint control, small game
Mossberg 590A1 Special Purpose $500.00 (Mossberg is better than Remington as far as interchangeable barrels): Home Defense, crowd control, motorcade, or patrol
Glock 19 (Compact 9mm) $500.00: Self defense, home defense until you can get to your shotgun, patrol
DPMS Sportster AR-15 $900.00: Home defense, patrol, hunting, perimeter control
Kahr CM9 9mm Micro compact $450.00: EDC & back up
Just my two cents, not knowing your specific needs and apptitudes.

We have absolutely no idea what your needs are, what you plan on using each gun for, and what your shooting habits and hobbies are. Do you reload? Do you hunt? What do you hunt? Birds, small game, large game, and over what distances? Do you routinely shoot 50 yards or 500 yards? Farther?
What do you want us to do? We can't give you any real information based on what little details you have provided. But heck, I love spending other peoples money. I think you should buy a 338 Lapua, a Barrett .50 BMG, a Ruger 10/22, a .416 Rigby, a Ruger Red Label, A 500 S&W. a Stoeger Coach Gun, just to name a few.

Yea no need to overthink here but... I only reload .40 cal. I hunt but only in Texas. I just want a gun for any purpose... With the exception of hunting in Africa! Can't see myself gettingthat opportunity. I went with a friend yesterday to buy himself a Dakota .416 Rigby for about $6k. Very impressive gun but I have no use for it.

I think you need some pure recreational guns, as well as specific-purpose guns (i.e., defense, hunting, etc.)
Get a .22 rifle (Ruger 10/22 or similar) and a .22 revolver or pistol (again I lean toward the Rugers). $600-ish total if you buy new.
Then you need a good ol' .38 or .357 revolver. S&W 10, 64, 19, 66, 686, etc., Ruger GP100. Adjustable sights are nice but not mandatory; 4" is a good barrel length. Pure shooting enjoyment with this. $300-$500 depending on what you get.
Then for defensive purposes:
A stainless J-frame for pocket carry, tackle box, medicine cabinet, backpack, etc. $400
An AR-15 for sure. DD is good; also consider Bravo Company and Colt and S&W LE models. Figure $1800+ with the stuff you need (sling, red dot optic, back-up irons, white light & mount, 10-20 mags)
Rem 870, yep; if you're a wingshooter, get the Wingmaster or Express with a second, short barrel (18" with rifle sights, perhaps). Otherwise, pony up the extra bucks for the Police models with bigger mags and better internal parts. $600 or so.
You suggested a Rem 700, but I don't know if this is for hunting or sniping. If the latter, you'll need a scope like a Nightforce, plus a bipod, so your package will run close to $3000.
I think that pretty much kills your budget. It's fun spending other folks' money (just ask the Prez...)
Other options to consider:
- An autoloading .30-cal, such as a Springfield M1A1, or an AR-10. Or, a 6.8 SPC upper for your AR. More punch past where the 5.56 starts to be more annoying than lethal.
- An M&P in 9mm since you're already familiar with the platform
- a good 1911 in the classic .45 ACP
Just food for thought!

I'd buy back my Browning Hi-Power, get a mossberg 410 home defense shotgun (small and maneuverable, for my desk), a Kahr 9mm (don't know which one) then I'd get a mess of holsters and plenty of spare magazines for the whole wardrobe of guns. I'd also start messing with trigger jobs, ss guide rods, conversion kits, ok I think I've spent 5K by now.
October 3rd, 2011 11:57 PM
I like your thinking gasmitty. I have considered many of the ones u have suggested. I am considering the .300 win mag just because I want a bigger boom the than the .22-250. But if I'm being honest with myself... Anything I hunt my .22-250 will handle fine. But... I still want the .300. I also have no real use for a 1911 but I would love to own a Smith and Wesson 1911 e series!
October 4th, 2011 12:10 AM
Hmm well I have two great concealed carry guns, my LCP and Kahr CM9, as well as an 18.5" Mossberg 500 for home defense (I know, none of these guns are glamorous but they get the job done!), so I would probably get some ammo and then pay off student loans. Am I allowed to do that? I think it would be a great home defense technique considering how aggressively the government comes after you if you don't pay them their money back.

Which AR10 would u suggest. I liked the DPMS but after talking to the guys over at the M4Carbine forum I don't think I want to go that route.

Gonna ask a quick question - please don't take this as an insult.
How are you, for training?
$5K goes a *_long_* way for class tuition, travel expenses, and ammo!
Also, how are you set-up for your concealed-carry support gear? Just a fraction of that budget would give you some top-tier carry gear that'll not only virtually guaranty your comfort and concealment, but will also make you the envy of everyone in any concealed-carry class.

I like spending other peoples money too.
1. FNH Scar - 3k
2. A Wilson Combat or Ed Brown or Nighthawk Custom 1911 - 2k
See there, how easy that was...now you're done.

Well I think they are plenty good for the money. Stay away from armalite, I've personally seen lots of issues with their reliability (brother in law had one and traded it away when he finally got fed up) DPMS rifles will WORK and deliver decent enough accuracy especially for the money.

The wolf is the first thing that comes to mind when one hears a howl in the wild. And although howling is a wolf-specific means of communication, it is also a common canine behavior.
They employ it for communicating over long distances with other wolves, marking territory borders, and determining the location of their pack mates, who typically respond with similar howling.
The situation seems a little more complicated when it comes to our best friend, the domestic dog. Some breeds, like wolf-like sled dogs, are known to be “hard-howlers,” meaning that they frequently howl in response to irrelevant noises like bells, sirens, or music, while others never howl at all throughout their lives despite having the ability to do so.
Researchers from the Department of Ethology at Eotvos Loránd University wanted to figure out why dogs howl and see if it’s true that some breeds are more likely to howl than others and if this has anything to do with how similar they are to wolves genetically.
To find out, researchers tested 68 purebred family dogs by playing them recordings of wolf howls and watching how they reacted in a behavior lab.
The degree of genetic similarity between various dog breeds and wolves (the so-called “root distance”) was employed to evaluate breed impact.
According to the findings, breeds that are more closely related to wolves genetically (referred to as “ancient breeds”) are more likely to respond to wolf cry playbacks with their own howls. However, breeds that were less closely related to wolves (referred to as “modern breeds”) responded more often by barking as opposed to howling.
According to Fanni Lehoczki, the study’s first author, “It seems that although howling is present in most breeds’ repertoire, it lost its functionality due to the changed social environment, thus, modern breeds do not use it in adequate situations.”
Additionally, they discovered that breeds that scream more in this scenario also exhibit higher stress-related behaviors.
As explained by senior author Tamás Faragó: “We assume that more ancient breeds, which are genetically closer to wolves, can process the information encoded in wolf howls better than modern breeds. Thus, ancient breeds of our study might become stressed by intruding on a pack’s territory and use howling for the sake of avoidance, just as wolves do.”
Interestingly, this genetic influence on howling only affects older dogs (>5 years), which may be explained by a personality impact associated to experience or aging. It is likely that older dogs are more scared, as was previously reported by other research, in keeping with our idea that howling appears with a greater degree of stress and is a fear response, but these hypotheses need additional examination.
In addition to the dog’s breed and age, other aspects of the animal, such as its sex and reproductive status, were investigated to determine their impact.
They found “that something is going on with the male sex hormones, as there is no difference between intact and spayed females, but intact and neutered males do behave differently,” adds Fanni Lehoczki.
“Neutered males, which are in lack of testosterone, howl more in response to the playbacks. As neutered males are suggested to be more fearful, this result can be in line with our findings about responsiveness and more stressed behaviour.
This is the first research to investigate precisely howling in pet dogs.
The results are consistent with the concept that human domestication and selective breeding fundamentally altered canine vocal behavior, including howl perception and production.
This new information helps us learn more about the history and effects of the relationship between humans and their “best friends,” the pet dog.

Midtown Athletic Club open house slated Nov. 17 in Overland Park
Midtown Athletic Club, 6700 West 110th St., in Overland Park, will host an Open House from 10 am-2 pm on Saturday, Nov. 17. The event theme, “Meet the New Midtown,” celebrates a number of club improvements.
Perhaps most noteworthy is Midtown’s $300,000 investment in new, state-of-the-art fitness equipment from top names like Cybex, Octane, Life Fitness and Free Motion. The installation of dual, theatre-quality movie screens in the club’s upstairs fitness area also enhances the member experience.
Open to the public, the event invites the community to explore Midtown’s latest program offerings and facility improvements. Demonstrations of new fitness programs like TRX, ViPR training, Zumba and Pilates Reformer are planned. Visitors are also welcome to demo the latest tennis racquets using in the club’s new, tennis “hitting” lanes.
“We’re really proud of these improvements, and are anxious to reacquaint the community with all that Midtown has to offer,” says Brad Houx, interim general manager.
For those with a hearty appetite, Houx adds, there will be a free, BBQ exhibition by (Midtown member) Travis Powell and his award-winning grill team, Young Guns BBQ. Attendees can savor authentic BBQ fare, like smoked brisket, pulled pork and sausage.
In addition, everyone who brings a can of food or a non-perishable item to benefit Harvesters Community Food Network will receive a complimentary, Midtown t-shirt. Midtown will continue to collect non-perishable food items for the Kansas City-based food pantry through Nov. 31.
There is no cost to attend. For more information, call (913) 491-4116 or visit www.midtown.com/overlandpark.

We recently made stunning sun catcher kites using sticky back plastic, tissue papers and sequins which we hung up on the window to let the sunlight flood through. They were absolutely beautiful and such a super low-mess kids craft activity too. Here's how to make sun catcher kites for kids...
This post contains affiliate links which means I may get a small commission if you decide to purchase, but please don’t worry, it’s at no cost to you and I only ever recommend products I really like and use myself. Thank you for your support!
What you'll need to make the sun catcher kites...
Piece of A3 black construction paper
2 sheets of A3 sticky back plastic
mix of coloured tissue papers (cut up)
coloured card for kite bows
kids craft scissors
How we made the sun catcher kites...
1. We prepped the diamond shape for the kite in advance for the children by folding a sheet of A5 black construction paper in half and cutting the corners to create a diamond shape. With the diamond still folded, we cut out the centre of the diamond.
2. We then stuck the diamond shape on to a sheet of sticky back plastic.
3. We gave the children some pre-cut black strips (cut from the discarded centre of the diamond), a tray of sequins and a tray of cut-up tissue papers.
4. The children got creative by first sticking on the black strips in a cross shape then adding sequins. They then added the tissue paper and a final sprinkle of sequins.
5. We cut a small piece of curling ribbon and taped to the top of the diamond for hanging, then taped a long piece of curling ribbon to the bottom of the diamond for the tail.
6. We then 'sealed' the kite by adding the second piece of sticky back plastic over the top and sandwiched all the tissue paper, sequins and curling ribbons in between the two pieces of plastic.
7. Cut around the outside of the diamond to remove the excess plastic and create the kite shape.
8. Decorate the tail by adding bows. We used double-sided tape for this part.
