Objective: CD133+ umbilical cord blood cells were identified as a hematopoietic stem cell which has the capacity for extensive self-renewal and differentiation. The aim of this study was to identify the effect of staurosporine (STS), a wellknown protein kinase inhibitor on differentiation of CD133+ cells into neural cells.
Materials and Methods: CD133+ cells were enriched by immunomagnetic beads from human mononuclear cells of umbilical cord blood and the purity of higher than 94% was achieved by flowcytometry. Induction of differentiation was performed by addition of STS (12.5, 25, and 50 nΜ). The differentiated cells were evaluated by immunofluorescence and RT-PCR for neuron-specific proteins and transcripts.
Results: STS-treated CD133+ cells expressed mRNA transcripts for neuronspecific neurofilament protein (NFM), and several basic helix-loop-helix (bHLH) transcription factors important for early neurogenesis, including Otx2, Wnt1, and Hash1. The structural proteins characteristics of neurons including β-tubulinIII and Microtubule-Associated Protein-2 (MAP-2), were shown by immunocytochemistry. STS-treated CD133+ cells also expressed the astrocytespecific marker, glial fibrillary acidic protein (GFAP) by immunofluorescence.
Conclusion: The human cord blood-derived CD133+ hematopoietic stem cells could differentiate into neural cell types of neuron-like cells and astrocytes by STS treatment.

Another good book from Kim Harrison. This is the 6th book in the series. In this instalment we get closer to finding out who murdered Kisten and whatAnother good book from Kim Harrison. This is the 6th book in the series. In this instalment we get closer to finding out who murdered Kisten and what Trent's father really did when he cured Rachel as a child. We get to meet Rachel's mother who has been keeping a secret all of Rachel's life which has been affecting her mental health but once it's out in the open she seems a lot better. Rachel seems to think that her mother is harmless would be mortified if she knew anything about Rachel's life but in fact she's fiesty and surprisingly understanding.
There are a couple of threads to this book, one where Ceri falls pregnant and to ensure the child is born healthy they need a pure sample of elf DNA which can only be found in the ever-after. And the other is about Al being summoned out of his prison cell in the ever-after and set free to reek havoc every night. He comes straight for Rachel and attempts to kill her. She has to find away to keep him from hurting her and her family and friends.
I really enjoyed this one especially when we get see Trent so helpless despite all of his money. ...more
I thoroughly enjoyed this book. It's witty, fast-paced and sarcastic as hell. It's the second in the series, the first being Once Bitten, Twice Shy. AI thoroughly enjoyed this book. It's witty, fast-paced and sarcastic as hell. It's the second in the series, the first being Once Bitten, Twice Shy. A CIA assasin, the main character Jasmine Parks (or Jaz to her friends), is a cross between James Bond and a supernatural Stephanie Plum (Janet Evanovich series).
I'm impressed with the way the author handled Jasmine's relationship situation - her fiance was killed in the line of duty and she feels it was her fault beause she was the team leader, and ever since she hasn't cared too much about her life (or possible death)until she met her new vampire boss Val, though she isn't ready for another relationship as she's still grieving. Though they are not a couple, Jaz and Val flirt and Val gets a little jealous from time-to-time. It sort of reminds me of the TV show Alias. I'm really looking forward to reading the next installment - Biting the Bullet. ...more
Don't get me wrong I LOVED the story, the humour, the growing relationship between Jaz and Vayl, Cole's eventual acceptance that he can't have Jaz butDon't get me wrong I LOVED the story, the humour, the growing relationship between Jaz and Vayl, Cole's eventual acceptance that he can't have Jaz but there was one thing that left me a bit flumoxed. Jaz's dad Albert, he never discovers that Vayl is a vampire. He overhears that Vayl's a vampire a few times, he even sees the evidence for himself, Jaz hints at it as well but he never realises it. I kept waiting for the lightbulb to go on inside his head and for him to make a big thing over the fact that Vayl is undead. It never happens and I'm a bit disappointed about it.
I also really missed Bergman as did Jaz but that was deliberate, bloody politicians trying to strip Jaz of her allies making it less likely for her to survive her mission but hopefully we'll see him in the next book. I really liked seeing more of Jaz's parents, why her mother deserves to be in hell and Albert finding out why Jaz hates her so much. All in all, a very entertaining read. I'm looking forward to seeing what Vayl's solution is to the political problem in the next book, BITE MARKS which may get both him and Jaz either fired or dead. ...more

Two Kiwi-Chinese beauties shine on stage
After several months of intense preparation and training, the 2017 Miss New Zealand pageant took place on June 3rd. One of the highlights of the pageant was the participation of two Kiwi-Chinese finalists, Satine Liu, originally from Shandong Province in China, and Annie Evans, who is a local Kiwi-Chinese girl.
In addition to the basic dance, fashion, evening gown and other conventional rounds of competitions, the Miss New Zealand event was punctuated by Mrs New Zealand beauty pageant, so that married women also got an opportunity to showcase their elegance and styles.
During the Q&A session, Donald Trump, the most talked about political figure in the world currently, became the mainstay from whose political words and deeds many topics related to media, society, and the environment were derived.
In the final round, Kiwi-Chinese competitor Annie Evans won the crown, and she will represent New Zealand at the 2017 Miss World pageant. Satine Liu won Miss Chinese New Zealand, and she will represent New Zealand to compete the final title in Malaysia later this year. At the same time, they also won Miss Charity and Miss Social Media titles.

During Watch What Happens Live with Andy Cohen, a savvy caller asked Tony- and Emmy-winning actor Kristin Chenoweth if the rumors are true that she will headline the West End musical adaptation of Soapdish.
“The rumors are possibly true,” Chenoweth demured, with a tellingly transparent poker face.
In 2012, Chenoweth took part in a reading of the musical alongside fellow Tony winner and TV favorite Jane Krakowski. The presentation, which featured a score by George Stiles and Anthony Drewe, was directed by Rob Ashford and also starred John Stamos, Cristin Milioti, Michael Park, Miriam Shor, and Adrienne Warren.
The 1991 film by Robert Harling and Andrew Bergman tells the backstage drama of a soap opera and starred Sally Field, Kevin Kline, Robert Downey, Jr., Elisabeth Shue, Whoopi Goldberg, Teri Hatcher, Cathy Moriarty, Garry Marshall, Kathy Najimy, and the late Carrie Fisher. Chenoweth did confirm that Harling wrote the book to the musical adaptation. Chenoweth expressed her love for the part of Celeste (the role Field played in the movie).
Of course, Cohen couldn’t let Chenoweth leave without playing a few games. Watch Chenoweth play Match That Pitch:
Chenoweth also spoke about her Bravo crushes:
Chenoweth can soon be seen on the Starz series American Gods—a new series from her Pushing Daisies creator Bryan Fuller—as the goddess Easter.


A HOT TOPIC OF CONVERSATION at this month’s Air Medical Transport Conference in Tampa, Fla. Is likely to be whether Congress really wants to cram down the helicopter air ambulance industry’s throat a requirement to forgo flights they otherwise might make, operate like major U.S. airlines when they do fly, and install warning devices for which standards are sketchy.
Emergency medical service operators and industry lobbyists were caught by surprise when Sen. Maria Cantwell (D-Wash.) slipped into a key piece of legislation requirements along those lines. The Senate bill, S.1300, is the FAA reauthorization act, which must be passed every four years if the aviation agency is to continue to exist.
The vital nature of the bill had lobbyists fearing the requirements would be rushed into law before they had a time to persuade senators that might be more effective ways of improving the safety of helicopter EMS operations.
Cantwell’s proposals paralleled very closely the recommendations of the U.S. National Transportation Safety Board following its special investigation of air ambulance safety.
Specifically, she wanted to require the FAA to enact rules that would force EMS operators to comply with FAR Part 135 whenever medical crewmembers were aboard the aircraft. Typically, crews fly under Part 91 outbound to a crash scene or patient transport, shifting to Part 135 when the patient is on board.
The NTSB argued that such a requirement would prod EMS pilots to use better judgment in deciding whether or not to fly mission and put better weather data in their hands. Industry officials counter it would severely limit safer instrument flight rule operations.
Cantwell also wants an FAA requirement that EMS operators do a formal risk assessment before launching a mission. Industry and FAA officials say such a requirement already exists in the agency-approved operations specifications. The NTSB says that requirement is not a permanent one and should be so.
Another requirement Cantwell seeks would force EMS operators to adopt standardized dispatch procedures based on FAR Part 121, which governs scheduled airlines. Industry officials note those operators fly from one improved airfield to another, with some form of traffic communications and weather observations at either end. EMS flight crews often do not have that luxury.
Part 121 also dictates shared responsibility between the pilot in command and the dispatcher for the safe conduct of a flight and imposes stringent certification requirements on the dispatcher, who must have the equivalent of an air transport pilot’s license. Industry officials argue such requirements are impractical and would impose significant costs on operators without a commensurate safety gain,
In addition, Cantwell wants an FAA rule requiring the installation of terrain awareness and warning systems (TAWS) on EMS helicopters. While helicopter TAWS are available and installed in aircraft, the FAA has yet to specify technical standards for those units, so it is unclear what benchmark Cantwell expects operators to meet.
This may be a bureaucratic issue.
"From our standpoint, the helicopter TAWS is done," said Gordon Pratt, vice president of business development for Cobham Avionics. Cobham’s Chelton Flight Systems unit has "had our helicopter TAWS certified for several years. It’s a mature product. It’s been deployed in a variety of helicopters all over the United States and it’s an extremely effective product. So from our standpoint, there really is no development that needs to be done to it."
Lastly, Cantwell’s proposals would require all HEMS aircraft be equipped with cockpit voice and flight data recorders. Such recorders are tremendous aids to accident investigation and the safety advancements that often stem from them. Industry officials argue requiring the quick installation of this equipment, as Cantwell proposes, on all existing HEMS aircraft would lead to huge disruptions in service and customer access to air medical services.
The Assn. of Air Medical Services has proposed instead that studies be launched on the effectiveness of helicopter TAWS and the best way to get recorders on EMS aircraft quickly.
A questionable aspect of Cantwell’s proposals was their timetable. She would mandate new FAA rules within weeks, in some cases, of the bill becoming law. Few federal agencies, let alone the FAA, can act that fast under the most ideal of circumstances. The proposals’ effect would be to force overworked FAA safety officials to waste their time in a rushed rulemaking process that inevitably would be bogged down in appeals and court challenges.
In meetings with AAMS staff, Cantwell and her aides have said they will consider the industry’s complaints and counterproposals in good faith.
It is ironic that Cantwell’s proposals come as the industry and FAA are in the midst of one of their most productive periods of collaboration on safety matters.
While the NTSB spent 18 months on what amount largely to a review of accident reports before publishing its "special investigation" findings, FAA and industry worked on a number of safety areas. Since late 2005, agency and industry officials have worked hand in hand on more extensive analysis of helicopter accidents as part of the International Helicopter Safety Team’s drive to cut helo accidents 80 percent by 2016.
Over this year, FAA officials have soothed the nerves of EMS operators who were rattled at last year’s AMTC by the FAA’s stated intention to clarify its rules about operational control of aircraft. A number of industry officials last year expressed fear that the agency’s focus on that topic would drive some operators out of business.
Another topic of discussion at this year’s conference will be the FAA’s development of the Helicopter EMS Weather Tool, which the agency fielded as a prototype after the last AMTC. This description of the tool is drawn from an article that first appeared in the January/February 2007 issue of FAA news.
The agency’s own review of EMS accidents from 1998 through 2004 identified a need for more detailed flight planning. A weather source FAA officials expected to be useful to helicopter pilots is the Aviation Digital Data Service, introduced in 1997 as an experimental digital data program that would contain weather observations and forecasts important to the aviation community and would be available via the Internet. The HEMS Weather Tool is a supplement to that service.
The tool is intended as an aid for pilots in deciding not to fly because of weather, FAA officials have stressed that the tool is experimental and cannot be used to justify a "Gio" decision, Every one knows that HEMS operate in a very demanding environment.
To prevent controlled flight into terrain (CFIT) and loss of control (LOC) accidents, the FAA, the HEMS industry, and the University Center for Atmospheric Research (UCAR) conducted a HEMS Weather Summit in early 2006.
The weather tool derives ceiling and visibility by interpolating the nearest METAR data. This interpolation process, in effect, "stretches" limited-area METAR observations across a broader area between stations accounting for terrain effects on ceiling height. The results are the likely conditions between METAR stations. However, a critical issue is that the reliability of the information generally degrades as distance from a METAR site increases. Thus, users should apply practical judgment when considering the "likely" weather conditions that are remote from a METAR site. To aid in this judgment, the product provides confidence fields that integrate a variety of product quality factors.
The ADDS HEMS Weather Tool allows the user to identify gridded weather assessments in 5 km by 5 km blocks. The weather data available includes flight category, ceiling, visibility, radar, convection, icing, temperature, relative humidity, and wind. Overlays on the graphical data include wind barbs, METARs, PIREPs, AIRMETs/ SIGMETs, TAFs, VORs, state and county boundaries, and a base map of terrain and cultural information.
This data is available at www.weather.aero/hems. The site contains a tutorial as well as "frequently asked questions." In addition, you can find a technical report on the performance of this weather tool at www.avmet.com under the "Supplementary Weather Products" menu. Taking the tutorial and reviewing the report will help users understand how to use the tool most effectively.

Internode Collects Technology Trifecta
On the eve of the Melbourne Cup, national broadband innovator Internode has completed a technology trifecta by collecting its third major broadband award in six weeks.
Internode won the award for Best Broadband Offering of the Year by an ISP at the Third Annual IT&T (Information Technology & Telecommunications) Awards, presented in Sydney on Thursday (October 28, 2004). The awards are presented by AJB Publishing, the publisher of magazines including PC Authority and Computer Reseller News.
Internode, an Adelaide-based company that has most of its customers located outside SA, is widely recognised for its high quality of service. In mid October, Internode threw down the gauntlet to rivals by launching excess-free, no-contract broadband deals for its Home Broadband customers.
Internode Group General Manager Pat Tapper, who collected the award for the 13-year-old company , said its broadband customer base had more than doubled during the past year.
"This award recognises the overall value offered by Internode’s range of broadband plans," he said. " Our customers love Internode's service, its flexibility and the freedom we give them through our contract-free plans. If customers don't like what we offer, they can vote with their feet, but what's happening is they just keep on coming back to us."
The Best Broadband Offering Award comes hot on the heels of Internode founder and CEO Simon Hackett winning the Bulletin-Microsoft Smart 100 IT & Communications Award at the start of October. This award drew attention to Simon's commitment to delivering the benefits of 21st century broadband technology to Australians living in regional and remote areas.
Two weeks earlier, another company in the Internode Group, Internet age telco Agile Communications, beat Telstra and Optus to collect the Australian Telecom Award as this country's top Broadband / Corporate Wholesale carrier.
Both Internode and Agile Communications are making strong impressions nationally as broadband Internet technologies change the dynamics of the highly competitive communications industry.

Into the Minds of Babes: How Screen Time Affects Children from Birth to Age Five
As a mother, Lisa Guernsey began to wonder about her use of television and videos with her two young daughters. As a reporter, she began investigating what the current consensus was dictating. What she found was a babble of research, conflicting advice, and the rather draconian mandate from the American Academy of Pediatrics: no screen time at all before the age of two.
Advocating a nuanced, informed approach to television viewing and focusing on the birth-to-five age group, Guernsey tackles the mountain of information and misinformation, distilling it into this highly readable and thoughtful book. Parents of toddlers will be relieved to learn that there is no credible research supporting the AAP's dire recommendation and they will be empowered to make their own informed choices. In addition to dispensing friendly anecdotal evidence and detailing recent research, Guernsey also provides helpful tips for parents who want to navigate what was once a given in parenting, the television as babysitterwhen is it helpful and when might it be harmful to the developing minds of our children?

In a recent testimony before the Senate’s Armed Forces Committee, Air Force General Anthony Cotton, the head of the US Strategic Command (STRATCOM), emphasized the formidable challenge posed by Russia to America’s military superiority. Cotton stressed the urgent need for the United States to modernize its own nuclear capabilities to effectively counter the evolving threat landscape.
Assessing Russia’s Nuclear Might
Cotton underscored that Russia currently boasts a nuclear arsenal surpassing that of the United States, while actively pursuing modernization initiatives. He highlighted Moscow’s substantial progress in upgrading its strategic nuclear forces, which includes advanced weaponry such as the Sarmat intercontinental ballistic missiles and state-of-the-art submarines equipped for nuclear deployment.
Rapid Modernization Imperative
Emphasizing the critical importance of swiftly modernizing the US nuclear triad, Cotton urged senators to expedite efforts in enhancing America’s nuclear capabilities. He emphasized the necessity of maintaining pace with Russia’s advancements, as well as those of China, to ensure strategic parity and national security.
Evolving Threat Landscape
Cotton cautioned that Russia and China are rapidly narrowing the gap in military capabilities with the US and its allies across various domains. He highlighted the escalating pace of technological advancements, underscoring the need for proactive measures to address emerging challenges effectively.
Expanding Arsenal Beyond the Triad
Beyond the traditional nuclear triad, Cotton pointed out Russia’s expansion and modernization of its nuclear arsenal. He drew attention to advanced weaponry such as the Kinzhal and Tsirkon hypersonic missiles, capable of delivering nuclear payloads, which further complicates strategic calculations.
In light of Russia and China’s advancements, coupled with the nuclear ambitions of North Korea and Iran, Cotton warned of unprecedented challenges confronting US strategic forces. He stressed the imperative of recalibrating strategic approaches to navigate the evolving threat landscape effectively.
In conclusion, General Cotton’s testimony underscores the pressing need for the United States to prioritize the modernization of its nuclear capabilities in response to the evolving strategic challenges posed by Russia and other adversarial nations. Addressing these challenges demands a proactive and agile approach to ensure national security and strategic stability in an increasingly complex global landscape.

What's Hot NowThe 30 Day - Hot Yoga _____________________________________________________________________________________ By David - http://www.yogastyleparis.com/ Hot 26 Yoga, also called Bikram Yoga, is based on a sequence of yoga poses popularized by Bikram Choudhury of India and brought to the US in the early 1970s. In this invigorating yoga class, the room is heated to over 100 degrees to allow the body to move deeper into postures, with less possibility for injury. The yoga sequence is carefully chosen from among the many poses and their variations that belong to the 5000 year old yoga lineage of India. Learn More About Hot Yoga These yoga poses are derived from traditional hatha yoga postures, known as "asanas." What makes Hot 26 Yoga different is the sweat and even tears it has been known to evoke from practitioners...and the huge files of anecdotal evidence of healing in all directions.Hot yoga is both aerobic and relaxing. It works on creating both core body solidity and loose flexible muscles. It is both challenging and calming all at once.
The legendary figure of hot yoga is Bikram Choudury, a yoga Champion and award winning body builder, who accidentally dropped barbels on his legs during one competition and was told by his doctors that he would not walk again.This yoga was actually developed for Bikram by his Guru, Bishnu Ghosh, who created the sequence and set
the heat and humidity specifically to heal Bikram. Needless to say, today Bikram is not just walking - he is strutting, the picture of youth at well over 60 years old. Bikram is the flamboyant yoga Guru who is anything but shy about the miracles of this yoga.The yoga postures use proper alignment and holding of the poses for particular time periods to create a "tourniquet" effect, a damming up of blood and bodily fluids followed by a release and rush of those fluids through particular body parts. The series works against gravity to strengthen the bones, and is actually said to work every muscle, bone, system, and cell of the body from bones to skin, in just 90 minutes,
If you want to be on the fast track, consider the 30 Day Hot Yoga Challenge which entails 30 consecutive days of consistent practice.Thousands worldwide have taken on the 30 Day Hot Yoga Challenge. Many talk and blog openly about the healing they personally experienced. Migraines are cured. Lupus is under control. Sciatica magically disappeared. Back pain is eased. Bum knees are healed. Eyesight is reported to be improved. Sex drive has increased (this may have something to do with the skimpy outfits, sweaty bodies, and bending in hot yoga class). This is a day-by-day commitment you must remake daily, as the first thing that happens for most is that all the excuses to not continue start to come to mind. I am always too busy. I can always be doing something more productive.

The PPAO must NOT become part of the CMHA
Ontario’s Psychiatric Patient Advocate Office (PPAO) is set to come under the umbrella of the Canadian Mental Health Association (CMHA). This is as big a conflict of interest as you are likely to encounter in Canadian health care.
When you are admitted to a psychiatric facility in Ontario — especially under a Form 1 (“Application by Physician for Psychiatric Assessment”; viz., involuntary admission) — you are pretty much at the mercy of staff save for the efforts of the PPAO. What does it do?
- It provides information to the patient on their rights concerning admissions under the Mental Health Act, the Criminal Code, and into long-term care facilities.
- It offers in-hospital patient advocacy on the above issues as well as in matters of complaint procedures, uses of personal health information, and treatment modalities.
- Outside the clinical sphere, it engages in systemic advocacy in a full range of vital areas, including appropriate use of force, the employment of restraints, police deployment of tasers, accessibility to elections, and consent and capacity issues.
In the larger sense, the PPAO is about guaranteeing human rights and civil liberties to inpatients. In the immediate sense, it is about preventing abject abuses to their persons and psyches.
Why must the PPAO not come under CMHA authority?
The CMHA is not an institution, but it is de facto the main provider for outpatient mental health services and allied psychiatric supports in many communities, often in conjunction with hospitals. In Grey and Bruce Counties (whose hub is Owen Sound), there are three(!) distinct mental health-related organizations, all designed to operate interdependently. In essence, Grey Bruce Health Services-Owen Sound (our Schedule 1 hospital — that is, hospital with psychiatric inpatient services), our branch of CMHA, and the Grey Bruce Community Health Corporation all function en bloc.
CMHA, then, is a significant part of the system no matter where you live, and has its own interests and aims. However, allow me to quote from PPAO’s official history:
“The intention of all political parties [in 1982, when the PPAO was founded] was that the Office would operate at an arm’s length relationship with the Ontario Government in the exercise of its mandate with only administrative accountability to the Ministry of Health.”
It doesn’t matter that the CMHA is a non-profit charity, answerable to a board of directors and not directly to the Ministry of Health and Long-Term Care. The same principle should hold. It is not reasonable to presume that a body whose mandate is to remain independent can function under the aegis of an organization which is an adjunct to inpatient facilities.
So, what can you do?
- Read up on the topic. Look at what we post in the Facebook group “Psychiatric Patient Advocacy Must Be Independent“. Consult the PPAO’s website, as well as the CMHA’s.
- Lobby lobbyists, like the Ontario Mental Health and Addictions Alliance, of which CMHA is a part. Their aim is to keep mental health issues on the front burner moving into the 2011 Provincial election. But because they speak principally from the point of view of service providers and not patients (though the Ontario Association of Patient Councils and the OPDI are represented), they must be made to know that this is unacceptable.
- Apply pressure through conventional and alternate media — rabble.ca, etc. Connect with socially conscious journalists. Write letters.
- Make use of Deb Matthews (the Minister of Health and Log-Term Care) and your MPP’s — write them!
This is not a mere administrative issue. Independent bodies are independent for a reason. They need the leeway to speak and act on behalf of vulnerable individuals. They must be free to hold institutions to account lest these summarily decide to curtail a person’s rights.
We Survivors have fought long and hard to define what constitutes institutional abuse. We can’t lose what we have gained.

Ouya launches $45,000 strong global game jam
Developer units on offer
The creators of the Android-based micro-console Ouya have teamed up with gaming website Kill Screen to launch an online game jam for the console open to developers worldwide.
Called 'CREATE', the jam will open for submissions on 14 January, at which point developers will have 10 days to enter playable prototypes for their Ouya games.
A grand prize of $20,000 will go to the game that demonstrates "the highest level of overall excellence."
Five other games will receive smaller prizes of $5,000 for achievements such as graphical excellence and the best controls.
Once submissions close on 23 January, the editorial team at Kill Screen will select winners – assisted by a judging panel that includes the likes of Phil Fish, Ed Fries and Adam Saltsman.
Judging criteria include "purposely subjective views" of each game, the level of community support each submission accrues and each prototype's successful use of Ouya.
And as well as a $45,000 prize fund for these winners, a number of 'finalists' will also receive Ouya dev consoles.
In the pudding
Developers looking to enter CREATE will need to prove that they have pre-ordered an Ouya or backed the project on Kickstarter - a rule designed to prevent spam entries.
"We want winners to have the genuine intent to bring their game to Ouya," says the jam's fine print.
Aside from this, CREATE is free to enter. To find out more, visit the CREATE page on the Kill Screen website.

San Francisco, California
London, United Kingdom
A two-evening transmedia design summit on September 20th and 21st, 2012, at USC School of Cinematic Arts, 7pm to 10pm, followed by a reception on both evenings.
In September 2012, at USC School of Cinematic Arts, the 5D Institute will gather its network around the possibility of building tangible narrative spaces, in the worlds of interactive publishing, media and architecture, where cross-media literature and virtual cities can indeed transcend borders and create new cultures and stories.
As information is liberated from concrete and paper how does new data and content trans- form the material from which it came? Is this only a perceptual shift or are we sliding into a new phase where information rapidly transforms materiality, and narrative can be experienced in multiple or simultaneous ways that were previously impossible? Where form changes not by function but by perception.
In this rich dialogue, the extremes of scale and identity between our understanding of a book and a city can provoke new questions. Does the multi-authored narrative of the city inform our view into the future of a new kind of storytelling experience? In worlds where the City is virtual and the Book interactive, what is the difference between the two? Can the depth and coherence of the novelist’s command of world building inform the architect to bring a powerful personal engagement into the intersections within the virtual city. In the future of the City and the Book, who will be the authors of these spaces?
Architects who contribute to the narrative of the city understand and accommodate the existence of multiple authors and an evolving, dynamic development of a city’s story. Writers who are open and interested in the promise and excitement of new kinds of publishing that might embrace the concept of multiple authors - including the reader - will talk about the design and engineering of a new genus of storytelling filled with variations of choice and disruption.

Calling all poppers, dance and movement lovers!
In this masterclass, we will explore the effects of Animation and creating illusions and stories within our dance. Imagination is key as this will be the starting point, next to working on the technical aspects of the movements to give these images shape.
Animation, a big sub-style of Popping, is meant to simulate an animated character moving frame-by-frame. The technique involves isolation and contraction of different muscle groups to create a stop-motion illusion. We will play with things such as;
Intention, Character, Musicality, Dynamics, Slow and slowed motion
Balance, Shapes, Timing, Creativity
Combined these aspects will create the ‘’How is that possible?!’’ effect and lets us improve in the art of animated and illusionary dance!
The masterclass will be given by Gil The Grid, who has years of popping experience and uses animation in a very expressive and powerful way. Gil has a unique way of moving and his animation skills are a big part of his ability to tell stories through dance the way he does.
After 3 hours of diving deep, there will be an Open Movement Session. Free practise with space for you to jam, exchange and move however you feel like!
This practice session is open to all, so also people who didn’t join the masterclass.
And of course, we will provide you with some good tunes!

RICHMOND—Governor Ralph Northam today announced the launch of statewide community office hours hosted by the Office of Constituent Services and Community Engagement. The Community Engagement team will schedule quarterly visits in each region of Virginia where constituents can have one-on-one meetings with a representative from the Office of the Governor. This program will provide residents greater access to the Governor’s Office and assistance with identifying and connecting to state government resources.
Currently, the office facilitates communication between constituents and the Governor through phone, email, letters, and meetings in Richmond. The new regional visits and the recent redesign of the Governor’s Office of Constituent Services and Community Engagement are both part of Governor Northam’s commitment to serving Virginians through a responsive state government. The office has also rolled-out a new user-friendly website and biweekly regional newsletters.
“My office may be in Richmond, but my administration serves the entire Commonwealth,” said Governor Northam. “I want to ensure that all Virginians have more opportunities to engage with my office. Increasing our regional presence allows our administration to be proactive in meeting constituents’ needs, and facilitates a direct exchange of ideas that will optimize our performance.”
“Governor Northam and his Cabinet spend a lot of time visiting localities and participating in events around the Commonwealth, but those visits do not always allow enough time to engage with many residents on a personal level,” said Secretary of the Commonwealth Kelly Thomasson. “Local office hours will expand the reach of the Governor’s Office by giving our constituents a face-to-face meeting, without requiring them to travel to Richmond.”
Community Office Hours are planned quarterly, open to the public and hosted at accessible places like libraries, community colleges and centers. Community Engagement Specialists will listen to residents’ concerns, connect them to state resources, and provide information on services like Medicaid enrollment and the restoration of rights.
For Quarter 1 of 2019, Community Office Hours will be held at the following locations:
To sign up for newsletters, or for more information on services offered by the Governor’s Office of Constituent Services and Community Engagement, visit governor.virginia.gov/constituent-services.

In early 2012 the ISO/IEC JTC1/SC29/WG11 (MPEG) finalized the new MPEG-D Unified Speech and Audio Coding standard. The new codec brings together the previously separated worlds of general audio coding and speech coding. It does so by integrating elements from audio coding and speech coding into a unified system. The present publication outlines all aspects of this standardization effort, starting with the history and motivation of the MPEG work item, describing all technical features of the final system, and further discussing listening test results and performance numbers which show the advantages of the new system over current state-of-the-art codecs.

IT research firm Gartner released a forecast Thursday projecting revenues from worldwidenetwork infrastructure will reach $4.2 billion by 2020. That would amount to an 89% revenue hike from the firm's 2019 projections of $2.2 billion. The firm expects overall 4G revenues to dip from $19.32 billion in 2019 to $18.28 billion in 2020, with similar drops in 3G and 2G revenues.
"It's still early days for the 5G private-network opportunity, but vendors, regulators and standards bodies have preparations in place," senior Gartner researcher Sylvain Fabre said in a release.
5G ubiquity is still pretty far away, but networks are starting to sprout up all around the world. The next-generation technology promises super fast mobile speeds, and it's poised to boost areas like and virtual reality. All four major US carriers -- Verizon, AT&T, T-Mobile and Sprint -- have turned on their 5G networks, though in limited areas so far, and more 5G-capable devices are set to launch this year.
Gartner estimates 7% of providers have deployed 5G network infrastructure so far, and projects that overall provider investment in 5G networks will double from 6% in 2019 to 12% in 2020. The firm also cautions that to maintain 4G coverage during an extended rollout period from 2019 to 2021, service providers will need to upgrade existing 4G infrastructure.
Otherwise, "a less robust 4G legacy layer adjoining 5G cells could lead to real or perceived performance issues as users move from 5G to 4G/LTE Advanced Pro," Fabre said.
By 2021, Gartner projects, 5G infrastructure revenues will climb to $6.8 billion.

For a standard treatment or precautionary dose: 1 X 20g CleanOxide tablet treats up to 2000L water 1 X 4g CleanOxide tablets treats up to 400L water If you are treating more water than is stipulated, you can use a larger quantity of tablets but we recommend waiting 48 hours until consuming the water.

High bacterial levels and odour issues are common for old tanks. We recommend to dose at twice the standard treatment dose in this circumstance. For example: 1 x 20g tablet to treat 1000L and 1 x 4g tablet to treat 200L. We recommend then leaving the water for 48 hours before it is consumed.
If the standard dose rate is used, then the water will be safe to drink within 12 hours. If you are using a shock dose (more than the standard does) we recommend waiting a minimum of 48 hours before consuming the water. Especially following the first treatment, we recommend that you flush the lines as […]
Besides sanitising the water, CleanOxide assists in removing biofilm on the tank walls and in the pipes which means it may be useful to use CleanOxide even when the water is already of high quality.

Enzo and the Christmas Tree Hunt! by Garth SteinThe unforgettable dog Enzo, first introduced in the New York Times bestselling novel The Art of Racing in the Rain, helps his family, Denny and Zoe, find the perfect Christmas tree in this heartwarming holiday tale. Author Garth Stein tells this touching story about the true spirit of Christmas in this second Enzo picture book. Fans of A Very Marley Christmas by John Grogan and Charlie and the Christmas Kitty by Ree Drummond will delight in Enzo's wise personality and funny antics. The family heads off to the tree farm, filled with noble firs, cider, and Newfoundlands-the biggest dogs Enzo has ever seen, who help haul the Christmas trees away on sleds. But as Zoe and Enzo search for the ultimate tree, the snow begins to fall and Zoe loses her way. When Enzo comes to her rescue (with a few of his perfect puppy howls), he proves that family is never far behind. R. W. Alley's fantastic illustrations bring the beloved Enzo to life with lots of Christmas cheer.

“Feedback,” New Era, Nov. 1995, 50
I would like to thank the New Era for the wonderful story “Just Call Me Susie” (June 1994). It helped me gain knowledge about how I can become more patient in my responsibilities as a missionary. Just like the feelings the character Susie had in the story, my affection for the Savior and his atonement was increased when one of my friends died. Thank you for the wonderful story that uplifted my testimony.

I am a high school student, and I recently had to write a research paper for my English class. The theme of the paper was traditional American values and how they are being torn down by the world. Through my research I found that the enforcing of good morals and family values helped people become more successful in life. I would like to express my appreciation to the New Era for being one of the sources that helps promote good morals and keeps our family values going. With the help of all the uplifting articles and messages, I know our values will not be lost in our society. Thank you for all the time and effort put into this magazine.
I wanted to express my appreciation for the story “About Face” (Mar. 1995). I hope it helped others realize the damaging effects it can have on a person. I have suffered from an extreme case of acne. My self-worth disappeared, I found it hard to look people in the face, and it got to the point where I could barely recognize myself. I withdrew from friends and activities I enjoyed, and I didn’t want to do anything that would draw attention to my looks. But through this experience I have learned to rely on my Heavenly Father to help me cope with this and other trials. I hope we can all realize it’s what’s on the inside that’s important.

Thank you for the beautiful songs you print in the In Tune section of the New Era. They always bring a special spirit into our home whenever I sit at the piano and sing them. I would especially like to thank you for printing “Come unto Him” in the April 1995 issue. The warmth and comfort I felt were what I really needed.
Thank you so much for “When Dad Doesn’t Believe” in the January 1995 issue. I really enjoyed that story because my mother and I are members of the Church, and my dad, brother, and sister aren’t. When I read that segment, I thought of my family and how I could make our life a little better. I love the New Era because it always seems to lift my spirits when I’m down.
Crown Point, Indiana
The New Era is a great magazine. I always like to read it from cover to cover. Every story is worth reading, and I have used many articles for my home-teaching lessons. Thanks for this wonderful magazine.

Newest Spyder Car Parts for Your 2002 Acura CL
These are some of the items you can find at LMPerformance for your Acura
If you are adding a body kit to your Acura CL Integra, NSX, RSX, TL OR TSX for aesthetic reasons only then you have a varied range of materials to choose from but if you are doing it to improve performance then aerodynamics is one of the most important deciding factors. Late Model Performance offers you body kits specific to your Acura CL, Integra, NSX, RSX, LT or TSX. The DURAFLEX brand by the transcendent manufacturer Extreme Dimensions took the fiberglass market by storm with the DURAFLEX aerodynamics by a marriage of fiberglass, plastic, and flex resins to obtain sui generis features allowing DURAFLEX aero parts a much higher durability rate than the average fiberglass product and the primer finish helps you get that paint job done faster and with outstanding results. We also can supply you with the DURAFLEX Bumper (Front), Bumper (Rear) and Side Skirts if you do not need a full body kit at this time.
Upgrading your shocks imparts a miscellany of advantages, ranging from better vehicle stability, to improved control, and in some cases, a smoother ride and a working set of shocks propitiously lessens the wear on your suspension, wheels and tires. The shocks on your Acura are formulated for improved drivability, control, and vehicle stability, but these conditions are terrain-dependent. KONI, the preeminent manufacturer of performance shocks in the world knows this and as a result developed a potpourri of shocks to meet your needs whether it be everyday driving or in situations requiring greater impact dampening - such as racing or off road driving. There are three choices for your Acura: the Street Orange Shock is totally new and is individually tailored and engineered to give your car that KONI sports feel with improved handling and less roll; the Sport Yellow Shock serves Sporting Drivers focusing on road holding and handling, h a reasonable level of driving comfort and usable with spring kits to lower a vehicle up to 35mm; and the FSD Gold shock absorbers; a smart suspension system adjusting automatically to road conditions as well as driving style. Learn which KONI shock is ideal for your model Acura and driving style by using the drop down lists on our web site.
A slipping, sticking or stiff clutch in your Acura or a slipping in your drag vehicle may mean it is time for a change to a Performance Clutch by the inimitable SPEC. Their street high performance and racing clutches and flywheels are manufactured in multitudinous Clutch Kits, from street kit Stage 1,2,2+, 3, and 3+ to Race Kits Stage 4 and 5 and the SPEC Super Twin with TQ ratings of over 1500 FT TQ! The Stage 1 is primo for Street, Drag, Drift, Road Race, Rally, Pulling, Autocross; the Stage 2, 2+, 3, 3+, 4 and 5 can be used for Street, Drag, Pulling, and Autocross; the Super Twin is beneficial in all types of driving; and the Mini Twin is serviceable in limited street, drag, drift, road racing, time attack, pulling and rally driving. Since performance clutches typically involve heavier springs and different disc materials they result in a clutch with more clamping force, meaning more torque can be transmitted without the clutch slipping, and the clutch will be much more likely to grab under aggressive shifting or clutch dumping - perfect for racing and off-road. Because SPEC billet flywheels are manufactured to .001 machine tolerance that, guaranteeing a flat seating surface for the clutch and smooth rotational qualities for perfect balance and extended engine life and they are constructed from only the highest quality steel and aluminum. Quicker revs, more horsepower and increased engine reliability are a result of installing stock appearing aluminum pressure plates. With the SPEC Super Clamp pressure plate, you can expect a 50-60% increase in clamp load above and beyond the increase offered by the standard high clamp pressure plate
Aftermarket performance exhausts create a quicker, more efficient path for exhaust gases to escape meaning your engine "breathes" better, so spent fuel and air exit the combustion chambers faster thus more fuel and air can be burned to create more power. The INVIDIA Exhaust for your Acura is a good balance of price and performance with a winning line-up of Exhaust Systems to choose from. Each INVIDIA Stainless Exhaust is constructed with high quality SUS304 Stainless Steel, CNC-machined flanges, and manufactured with a polished finish.

We make no secret of our fondness for Lyle, having watched him grow from an unusually inquisitive, snow-white Juvenile—to a somewhat awkward and gangly adolescent, half white, half slate—to his beautiful mature superhero suit. And I like to think that Lyle at least likes to hang out in our neck of the swamp. Anyhow, this autumn he’s been possibly our most frequent visitor (after Lester the Lesser Yellowlegs, who visits nearly every day), and he’s been kind enough to offer portraits from several angles. This one has a certain je ne sais quois for us—and perhaps you too, if you squint correctly, can see him striking a pose on the the fashion ramp?

Retirement has a detrimental impact on mental and physical health, a new study has found.
The study, published by the Institute of Economic Affairs (IEA), a think tank, found that retirement results in a "drastic decline in health" in the medium and long term.
The IEA said the study suggests people should work for longer for health as well as economic reasons.
The government already plans to raise the state pension age.
The study, which was published in conjunction with the Age Endeavour Fellowship, a charity, compared retired people with those who had continued working past retirement age, and took into account possible confounding factors.
Philip Booth, programme director at the IEA, said the government should go further to deregulate labour markets and allow people to work for longer.
No 'normal' retirement age
"Working longer will not only be an economic necessity, it also helps people live healthier lives," he said.
Edward Datnow, chairman of the Age Endeavour Fellowship, said: "There should be no 'normal' retirement age in future.
"More employers need to consider how they will capitalise on Britain's untapped grey potential and those seeking to retire should think very hard about whether it is their best option."
The study suggests there is a small boost to health immediately after retirement, before a significant decline in the longer term.
Retirement is found to increase the chances of suffering from clinical depression by 40%, while you are 60% more likely to suffer from a physical condition.
The effect is the same for men and women, while the chances of becoming ill appear to increase with the length of time spent in retirement.
