Which quesadilla maker is the best for me?
If you don’t have a quesadilla maker yet and are planning to get one, here are some points you should take note of when choosing the best quesadilla maker.
- Quesadilla makers come in a variety of sizes, but they usually have an 8-inch or 10-inch cooking surface. If you have a big family or you have to serve a crowd, opt for a bigger quesadilla maker.
- Choose a quesadilla maker with a metal hinge other than plastic for a more durable latch.
- The plates in quesadilla makers are usually built-in so make sure to get a non-stick quesadilla maker. It will not only be easier in terms of cooking but cleaning as well.
- There’s nothing better than a quesadilla with a rich filling. Look for a quesadilla maker with deep-dish pockets for a more satisfying quesadilla. But of course, remember not to overfill it because it will get messy for sure!
Some of the tried and tested brands of quesadilla makers you can trust are George Foreman, Hamilton Beach, and Santa Fe.
How to use a quesadilla maker:
Quesadilla makers are super easy to use — you can get your quesadilla cooked within five minutes! All you have to do is follow these simple steps.
- Clean the cooking surface with a dishcloth before you plug in your quesadilla maker.
- Spray some cooking oil on the cooking surface to make sure the tortilla or excess filling will not stick. You do not have to do this if your quesadilla maker has non-stick plates.
- Preheat your quesadilla maker for about five minutes. Most of these kitchen gadgets have green light indicators that automatically flash when they have reached the right temperature. While waiting, assemble your tortilla and fillings.
- When the device is preheated and you’re done assembling your quesadilla, place it on the bottom cooking surface.
- Close the lid, press the latch down, and let it cook for a few minutes. (Cooking time will vary based on the fillings you put inside your quesadillas, but it usually takes only three to five minutes.)
- Use a spatula to get your cooked quesadilla and close the lid right away if you have to make more.
- Unplug the device when done and wait for a few minutes to let it cool before you wipe the cooking surfaces clean.
Now that you know how to easily use a quesadilla maker, let’s start making delicious quesadilla maker recipes!

The Miners calling themselves the Miners Support Group for the PF on the Copperbelt have endorsed the candidature of President Edgar Lungu in the August 11 general elections, says its chairperson Peter Sinkala.
Mr Sinkala made the announcement of the miners’ decision at the Mine Club in Kitwe on Tuesday.
He said miners had resolved to vote for President Lungu and all aspirants under the PF in the August 11 elections because the Head of State had demonstrated that he was a man of his words.
Mr Sinkala said President Lungu proved his worth during the recent retrenchments in the mining sector by attending to the miners’ needs.
“As miners we have gone through a lot and seen a lot but we are now aware of the things that happened around us.
“We as miners are aware that due to the impending elections, the opposition have taken advantage and are spreading false hopes to us so that they can get votes; we are not going to be fooled, not this time,” said Mr Sinkala.
He said the miners now understood that the recent retrenchments were as a result of global factors and not Government’s fault as was being asserted.
He noted that numerous jobs in mining countries world over were lost and therefore President Lungu was not at fault for the economic shocks experienced.
Mr Sinkala said the miners appreciated President Lungu’s initiatives to empower the miners who were affected by the massive retrenchments in the mining sector.
At the same event, ex-miners and mine contractors also pledged their support for President Lungu and the Patriotic Font.
And PF aspiring parliamentary candidate for Nkana constituency Alexander Chiteme said he was pleased to see the miners and ex-miners pledge their support for the ruling party.
Mr Chiteme, who is proprietor of AAC Mining Contractors, said being an employer in the mining sector, he was equally affected as his firm which supplied to the Democratic Republic of Congo, was temporarily halted until copper prices stabilised on the international market.
He urged the miners not to be misled into believing that the Patriotic Front was to blame for the challenges being faced in the mining sector.
“All countries that have mines are facing similar challenges and Zambia is no exception,” Chiteme said.
Mr Chiteme said he was confident the economy was recovering and soon more people, especially those who were affected by the job cuts, would be re-employed.

The Lincoln Shield Cent, a ubiquitous yet historically rich coin, has been a cornerstone of American currency since its introduction in 2010. Let’s delve into the fascinating history of this penny, exploring its evolution, key milestones, and the allure of rare and valuable versions that have captivated numismatists worldwide.
I. Inception and Design:
The Lincoln Shield Cent replaced the Lincoln Memorial Cent as part of a broader initiative to refresh the designs of circulating coins. It made its debut on February 11, 2010, featuring a distinctive shield on the reverse side, symbolizing Lincoln’s preservation of the Union. The obverse continued to showcase the iconic profile of Abraham Lincoln.
II. Evolution Over the Years:
2010-2016: The Early Years
The first years of the Lincoln Shield Cent were marked by widespread circulation, and millions entered wallets and piggy banks. While not immediately deemed rare, these early editions represent the inception of a new era in American coinage.
2017-Present: The Modern Era
As the years progressed, the design retained its stability, with only minor variations. The Lincoln Shield Cent became a common sight, embodying the enduring legacy of the 16th President of the United States.
III. Rare and Valuable Versions:
Double Die Obverse: 2017-P
One of the most sought-after varieties is the 2017-P Lincoln Shield Cent with a double die obverse. This error occurs during the minting process, resulting in a distinct doubling of the image on the coin’s obverse. Collectors cherish these coins for their rarity and the unique visual appeal created by the doubling effect.
Off-Center Strikes: Various Years
Off-center strikes, where the coin’s design is not correctly centered, add an element of intrigue to Lincoln Shield Cents. Depending on the degree of misalignment, these coins can become valuable collector’s items. Collectors often seek these coins for their distinctive appearance and the rarity associated with production errors.
IV. Commemorative Editions:
2019-W Proof Cent
In 2019, the United States Mint issued a special edition of the Lincoln Shield Cent as part of the annual proof set. What made this release particularly noteworthy was the inclusion of a “W” mintmark, denoting production at the West Point Mint. This marked the first time a “W” mintmark appeared on a Lincoln Cent, instantly turning this coin into a collector’s gem.
V. Lincoln Shield Cent in Popular Culture:
Beyond its role as a circulating coin, the Lincoln Shield Cent has found its way into popular culture. Artists, writers, and filmmakers have utilized its imagery to evoke a sense of Americana and history. The coin’s presence in everyday life continues to resonate with people, serving as a tangible connection to the nation’s past.
VI. Preservation and Grading:
For collectors, maintaining the condition of Lincoln Shield Cents is crucial. Coins that are well-preserved, with minimal wear and attractive toning, often command higher prices in the numismatic market. Professional grading services assess the condition of coins, providing a standardized measure of quality that aids both collectors and dealers in evaluating the coin’s worth.
The Lincoln Shield Cent, with its unassuming presence in everyday transactions, carries a rich tapestry of history and numismatic intrigue. From its inception in 2010 to the modern era, this coin has stood as a testament to the enduring legacy of Abraham Lincoln. The allure of rare and valuable versions adds a layer of excitement for collectors, turning the act of acquiring these coins into a journey through time. As we continue to use and cherish these small copper discs, let us remember the stories they tell and the history they represent.

Midnight Rocker features 10 brand new recordings from legendary Jamaican singer and longtime Massive Attack collaborator, Horace Andy, produced by Adrian Sherwood.
Midnight Rocker was approached in a similar fashion to the late-career quality that Sherwood coaxed out of Lee "Scratch" Perry with the Rainford and Heavy Rain albums, assembling a crack team of players and spending many months perfecting performances, arrangements and mixing. The result is a remarkable suite of songs that sparkle with superb musicianship, carefully crafted production, and Horace’s beautiful vocals.
While Midnight Rocker revisits and updates a few classic Horace Andy songs like “Mr. Bassie,” the bulk of the tracks are brand new compositions with contemporary messages, such as “Watch Over Them” and “Materialist.” You’ll also find a version of “Safe From Harm,” a much-loved early single by the group Andy is most associated with – Massive Attack.

The Hubble Space Telescope just celebrated the 30th anniversary of its launch. A joint effort of NASA and the European Space Agency, Hubble orbits Earth from outside of the distorting effects of the atmosphere. This has allowed it to capture some amazing images and has led to unprecedented understanding of space.
Since April 24th 1990, Hubble has been in operation 24/7, gathering 1.4 million observations of things like exoplanets, and distant galaxies. The data collected have led to discoveries about black holes, gravitational waves, dark matter, and much more. It has spotted things both inside and outside of our solar system that were previously not known to exist.
NASA has collected 366 of its most stunning images and is showcasing them on its What Did Hubble See on Your Birthday website. Select a date and NASA will show you what it saw. You can share the image on social media using the hashtag #Hubble30.

The OPV replacement program was announced in June 2020 following a Ministerial Committee on Investments. These vessels are « indispensable both overseas and in metropolitan France to carry out the state’s missions at sea. Consequently, we have made filling this gap one of the priorities of the military planning law », Parly said on October 6 to the House of Representatives Defense Committee.
The French Navy future OPVs are divided in three sub-components : a first batch of « Patrouilleurs d’Outre-mer » (POM) for Antillas and French Guyana, another six POMs for the other overseas territories (2 in New Caledonia, two in la Réunion and two in French Polynesia), and 10 POs which will replace the Patrouilleurs de haute mer based in Toulon and Brest and the much lighter and unarmed « Patrouilleurs de service public » of Cherbourg. The first two POM OPVs are to be delivered by Socarenam by 2022-end.
About the existing PHM, « I confess the status of these patrol vessel is not brand new and that their availability is lacking, » Parly added, announcing that measures for speeding things up have been taken « to ensure the first two PO units will be delivered before 2025 ». As of now, no contract has been notified and the exact design remains unknown.
The only certainty is that the POM and PO will be slightly different. « We have made structuring choices since the operational capacities of these new vessels will be much greater than those currently available, » the French Armed Forces minister stressed.
While the POM is a smaller, lightly equipped 1,200-tons vessel, the 10 POs will adopt a 2,000 tons design which will allow them to embark a helicopter and to be fitted with a sonar and larger weapon systems. Answering a question from the delegate Didier Le Gac, in charge of the French Navy 2021 budget, the Defense Minister gave a few more details about some of the PO’s armament, citing for the first time « a 40 mm gun ». Naval News understands this system is likely to be the Thales-Nexter RAPIDFire naval gun system.
The RapidFire has already been selected for the French Navy’s future fleet of replenishment tankers. Nexter and Thales won the tender facing Leonardo with the MARLIN 40mm, Rheinmetall with the Oerlikon Millenium gun 35mm, MBDA with the SIMBAD RC surface to air missile system and BAE Systems Bofors with 40Mk4 40mm. Even if an official confirmation of the RapidFire selection is yet to be made, a notification of the contract reportedly occured in January for developement and delivery of an initial batch.
About RAPIDFire 40mm naval gun system
RAPIDFire is a weapon system which offers high precision thanks to its optronic fire control system integrated on the turret, its advanced algorithms, powerful gun and automatic ammunition management system allowing the best reactivity and efficiency for the operator. RAPIDFire incorporates a 40 mm gun developed by CTAI, the international subsidiary of Nexter Systems and BAE Systems, to equip latest-generation armoured vehicles for the French, Belgian and British land forces.

Police rescue eight kidnap victims
By John Shiklam
A Catholic priest, Rev. Fr. Anthony Dawah; his cook; the Catechist’s wife and unspecified number of people have reportedly been abducted by bandits in Kushe Makaranta village, Kagarko Local Government Area of Kaduna State.
But in another incident, the state police command said it had rescued eight kidnap victims and recovered an AK-49 rifle from bandits.
The abductions came barely four days after eight members of the Redeem Christian Church of God (RCCG), were kidnapped by gunmen on Friday last week, along the Kaduna- Kachia road.
The latest incident was said to have occurred at about 2am yesterday when the hoodlums invaded the community.
Kaduna State Chairman of the Christian Association of Nigeria (CAN), Rev. Joseph Hayap, who confirmed the incident in a telephone interview said, “Reverend Father Dawah was kidnapped in the early hours of the day (Tuesday), around 2am, along with his cook, the Catechist’s wife and some other people around”
Hayap said another incident of kidnapping had occurred on Sunday in Kachia, adding that
“the Catholic Church in Kachia will come up with details.”
Speaking further, Hayab said the abducted Catholic priest “was supposed to have come to Kaduna town, from Kagarko , but he said he had a mass this morning and promised to come after the mass.
“That mass could not be conducted as he was Kidnapped.”
Hayab added that the clergyman was “still with the bandits now, adding that they have not called back to give details of the whereabouts of the Priest and others who were Kidnaped”.
Spokesman of the Kaduna State Police Command, Muhammad Jalige did not respond to telephone calls when contacted.
In another incident, the state police command said it had rescued eight kidnap victims and recovered an AK-49 rifle from bandits.
Spokesman of the command, Jalige, who disclosed this in a statement issued yesterday, said the
victims were abducted sometimes on February 28, along Zaria –Kaduna expressway aboard a luxurious bus on their way to Delta State.
He said the bandits were intercepted on Monday by the police during a patrol along Galidamawa/Kidandan area of Giwa Local Government Area of the state.
According to Jalige, “On March 29, 2021 at about 0600hrs men of Operation Puff Adder II attached to Kaduna (Police) Command, while on routine patrol along Galidamawa/Kidandan area of Giwa LGA, intercepted a group of armed bandits alongside some victims in their possession.
“On sighting the (police) operatives they took to their heels abandoning their victims and one AK-49 rifle and in the process eight kidnap victims were rescued unhurt”.
The statement said the eight people rescued, including a female are: Bala Ibrahim, Gloria Ede (from Ebonyi state), Japheth Sani (Kebbi State, Kinsley Edgbue (Delta State), Anthony Okafor (Anambra State, Gabriel Agu (Anambra State), Chibuzo Nwokorie (Anambra state) and Ifeanyi Samuel (from Enugu State.)
Jalige said, “the victims later stated that they were abducted along Zaria –Kaduna expressway aboard a luxurious bus on February 28, 2021 in route Delta State.”
He said the rescued persons were receiving medical attention in preparation for reunion with their families. According to him, the police “is in hot pursue of the fleeing bandits”, adding that, “that the police command “under the leadership of CP UM Muri is in appreciation of the gesture and robust support rendered by the Inspector General of Police for deploying men and resources to compliment the efforts of the command in tackling armed banditry in the state.”

It’s the age of Amazon, and brick-and-mortar retailers are feeling the pinch.
Amazon’s dominance—bolstered by mostly lower prices, more options and increased convenience for shoppers–has caused stores across the mall to take a hit. Teen-apparel retailer Aéropostale filed for bankruptcy in May. Later that month, JC Penneyannounced that it would cut payroll and freeze overtime for its employees. The bad news isn’t only recent: In 2015, Penney announced it would close 40 locations, while fellow mall giant Sears has shuttered more than 200 locations over the past two years.. . . more

What do beans, grains, nuts, seeds and some plant food all have in common?
Well they all contain ‘’Phytic acid’’ or ‘’Phytate’’
But what is Phytic acid exactly? Scientifically speaking Phytic acid is the storage compartment for phosphorus that is found in the hulls of grains and seeds.
We are often told to avoid foods that are high in Phytic acid – but why?
Phytic acid is an anti-nutrient that grabs hold of minerals like calcium, iron, zinc and magnesium that are found in the wholegrain and creates an insoluble and indigestible complex in the digestive system. When these nutrients get to the small intestine they aren’t in a usable form and are therefore not absorbed into the body. So even through these minerals are technically present in some grain, our bodies cannot actually use them in this form so they may as well not be there at all. Bound minerals that cannot be absorbed will ultimately lead to mineral deficiencies. For example, Osteoporosis is common in societies where cereal grains are a staple part of the diet.
Phytic Acid also interferes with the enzymes that humans need to digest food.
Unlike animals, humans do not have the digestive enzyme ‘Phytase’ that is required to break Phytic Acid down in the small intestine.
Keeping with tradition
If we look back to how our ancestors prepared and consumed Phytase containing foods we find that they developed a way to make them more digestible. This method is known as soaking and sprouting; this is where these foods are covered with warm water for 12-24 hours, then rinsed and drained. The purpose behind this is to trick the grains into thinking they have been planted and allow them to release some of their anti-nutrients and make their minerals more accessible.
Research has shown that this method only deactivates some of the Phytic acid found in this food but not a huge amount.
Phytic Acid and Whole grains
Phytic Acid is found in the outer bran and germ of the wholegrain. If this outer layer is peeled away, we would be left with fewer Phytates but then the end product would still be a refined grain that is devoid of most of the nutrition and fibre and still containing all of the concentrated carbohydrates.
But what about vegetables?
Some vegetables also contain Phytic acid however they are also rich in nutrients which reduces the overall impact of Phytates. There simply is not enough Phytic Acid in these foods to bind to the minerals found in vegetables. This means that a large percentage of those nutrients are still available to us.
…..and nuts and seeds?
It is true that Phytic Acid can be found in the outer shell of nuts and seeds. By dry weight they in fact contain more Phytic acid than most grains and legumes.
However, unlike grains and legumes, nuts are rarely the hero of any dish and are not relied on for nutrients. Unless you are polishing off a jar of nut butter on a daily basis or eating them by the bucket load – a handful of nuts to accompany a meal will not do your body any harm. Nuts provide a tonne of good stuff including healthy Monounsaturated fats, antioxidants, vitamins and minerals. If you are consuming nuts as part of a diet rich in healthy fresh food, there is no reason to eliminate them – just be mindful of how you are including them in your diet.

Former Wigan hitman Amr Zaki set for European return
Zamalek striker Amr Zaki is set to mark his return to European football with a move to the Turkish Süper Lig.
Zamalek’s board of directors have reportedly accepted an offer of €250,000 from Elazığspor, with Zaki also giving up on his unpaid wages totaling EGP750,000 from the Cairo club.
Zaki is expected to sign for the Turkish side on a three-year deal, according to manager Bülent Uygun.
Zamalek edited the story on their website after initially announcing that officials were set to arrive from Gaziantepspor.
Caretaker manager Ismail Youssef excluded Zaki from the trip to DR Congo to face TP Mazembe in the CAF Champions League on Saturday, and told the clubs official website, “He has not been training regularly, he is not ready and his concentration is mainly on the idea of leaving for Gazientepspor.”
Zamalek board member Abdullah George later revealed that Gaziantepspor were only willing to spend €200,000 for Zaki’s services, while the Whites demanded and extra €50,000.
Amr Zaki was offered a one week trial by Championship side Blackpool FC earlier this summer.
The Egyptian international enjoyed a successful loan spell at Wigan in the 2008-09 season and was the top goalscorer in the English Premier League for numerous weeks; but failed to add to his tally of 10 league goals at the club after falling out with manager Steve Bruce. Zaki also has 29 intentional goals to his name but has yet to feature under Egypt coach Bob Bradley.

Egypt is a country of a thousand facets and striking contrasts, which has now become one of the most popular international tourist destinations, thanks to the marvels of its archaeological treasures, the warm waters and sunny beaches of its Red Sea coast, and the “exotic” attractions of its souks and city streets. Meanwhile, Egypt is also a modern country pursuing its own model of development, one that attempts to incorporate both tradition and innovation. From the pyramids to the Red Sea coral reefs, from the desert oases to the rocky mountains of Sinai, from the cultivated fields of the Delta to the modern megalopolis of Cairo, this book uses pictures to illustrate and evoke the many stunning attractions of the land of the pharaohs. More than 500 spectacular color photographs celebrate Egypt’s natural, cultural, and historic splendors from Alexandria to Nubia and from Siwa to Sinai, revealing the many wonders of this extraordinary country.

An Istanbul Anthology
Travel Writing through the Centuries
Edited by Kaya Genç
Travel Writing through the CenturiesEdited by Kaya Genç
For centuries following its reestablishment as Constantinople in AD 330, Istanbul served as the capital of three great empires: Roman, Byzantine, and Ottoman. The city’s maze-like streets and high balconies, its steep alleys, flower gardens, and forested hillsides remain soaked in the vestiges of that imperial past, and it is to that past and to Istanbul’s unearthly moods and waters that so many writers and diarists journeyed in search of escape, knowledge, happiness, or sheer wonderment. An Istanbul Anthology takes us on a nostalgic journey through the city with travelers’ accounts of the sights, smells, and sounds of Istanbul’s bazaars and coffeehouses, its grand palaces and gardens, crumbling buildings, and ancient churches and mosques, and the waters that so haunt and define it. With writers such as Gustave Flaubert, Pierre Loti, Ernest Hemingway, Mark Twain, and André Gide, we discover and rediscover the many delights of this great city of antiquity, meeting point of East and West, and gateway to peoples and civilizations. About the series: The elegant, pocket-sized volumes in the AUC Press Anthology series feature the writings and observations of travel writers and diarists through the centuries. Vivid and evocative travelers’ accounts of some of the world’s great cities and regions are enhanced by the exquisite vintage design in small hardback format that make the books ideal gift books as well as perfect travel companions. Designed on cream paper stock and beautifully illustrated with line drawings and archival photographs....read more

A Beirut Anthology
Travel Writing through the Centuries
Edited by T.J. Gorton
Travel Writing through the CenturiesEdited by T.J. Gorton
Beirut has seen many armies and empires come and go, but the legacy of this long history is not so much in surviving monuments as in the quintessential Levantine spirit of the people. A commercial hub since the days of the Phoenicians, it was a center of learning under the Romans, its law school pre-eminent in the Empire. Both currents are discernible today, with vibrant Arab, French, and American universities and more publishing houses than the rest of the Arab world coexisting with the most dynamic financial center in the Middle East. Beirut was the point of entry to the Levant for many Europeans and Americans undertaking a Grand Tour or a pilgrimage to the Holy Land, and visitors (whether their focus was piously Biblical or more prosaic) recorded their impressions of this effervescent port city where East rubs against West. A Beirut Anthology gathers the choicest of these, from writers as diverse as Alphonse de Lamartine and Mark Twain, providing a surprising and vivid glimpse behind the veil of this elusive and alluring city....read more

Gardens of a Sacred Landscape
Bedouin Heritage and Natural History in the High Mountains of Sinai

Bedouin Heritage and Natural History in the High Mountains of SinaiSamy Zalat
Illustrations byAhmed Gheith
This beautifully illustrated book describes the unique environment and the natural history of St. Katherine in Sinai from the perspective of its inhabitants—the Gabaliya Bedouin. The Gabaliya live in the high and rugged mountain massif of South Sinai, enclosed within the St. Katherine Protectorate in an area now declared as a World Heritage Site. St. Katherine is one of the world’s most important protected areas for its special historical, cultural, religious, and environmental heritage. It contains Egypt’s highest mountain—Mount Katherine—and one of the world’s most sacred: Mount Sinai. The Gabaliya have a unique history, and their intimate relationship with their harsh environment is equally unique. In the arid landscape within the great Ring Dyke they have created their own orchard agriculture, growing fruit and vegetables in irrigated walled gardens that seem to grow out of the rock on remote wadi floors or on the steep mountainsides themselves. This book introduces—from their own observations—the gardens and the unique culture and heritage of the Gabaliya, the vegetables and fruits they grow, and the mammals, birds, lizards, and insects associated with their gardens and environment in this remarkable landscape. The book is fully illustrated with photographs and watercolor paintings....read more

Ginger Stone is delighted to share the news that our #3 Daily Moisturiser has been shortlisted for an award in the Free From Skincare Awards 2017.
Being recognised by this award is amazing news. Ginger Stone has only been operating since November 2016 so such recognition really shows us that we are making fabulous products for people who need a little more TLC for their skin.
The FreeFrom Skin Care Awards are designed to celebrate and encourage skincare manufacturers who create products that exclude many of the allergens, chemicals, fragrances and artificial additives associated with skin and health concerns, ethical and environmental worries, and which may appeal to those looking for purer or more natural cosmetics and products for their skin, including those with problem skin conditions. Something that you will know we set out to achieve with our line of products.
The results will be announced at the Love Natural, Love You Show in London on July 7th 2017, so fingers and toes are being kept crossed at Ginger Stone until then.


Walmart Won't Be Open On Thanksgiving This Year In Response To The Coronavirus Pandemic
Walmart is planning to change its holiday hours amidst the ongoing coronavirus pandemic. For the first time in over 30 years, the retail giant announced that in-store Thanksgiving Day deals will not be a part of Black Friday promotions. Walmart will close its stores on Thanksgiving 2020 in response to the coronavirus pandemic.
In a statement shared on Tuesday, July 21, John Furner, the president and CEO of Walmart US, addressed the current state of the company during the ongoing coronavirus pandemic and said the company would be closing all stores on Thanksgiving Day, Thursday, Nov. 26, to give employees a break. Sam's Club, which is owned my Walmart, will also close all locations on the holiday.
"We know this has been a trying year, and our associates have stepped up," Furner said in a statement. "We hope they will enjoy a special Thanksgiving Day at home with their loved ones. We are certainly thankful to our people for all of their efforts." The superstore, which usually opens on the fall holiday for regular hours and kicks off its Black Friday sales early in the evening, also announced that stores would operate as normal on Wednesday, Nov. 25, but Black Friday in-store hours for Friday, Nov. 27, will come at a later date.
Walmart also revealed in its July 21 announcement that it would be giving out a cash bonus to store, club, distribution center, and fulfillment center associates, its third since the beginning of 2020. Full-time hourly associates will receive $300, while part-time hourly and temporary associates will pocket $150.
Following Walmart's announcement, a number of people took to Twitter to criticize the chain's decision, which some people believed was based more in business reasons. Many pointed out that keeping stores open on Thanksgiving — which usually draws large crowds due to doorbuster deals — wouldn't have been as feasible this year anyway due to the ongoing coronavirus pandemic and the logistics of staffing stores while attempting to enforce social distancing.
In a statement to Elite Daily about Walmart's decision to close the store on Thanksgiving this year, a spokesperson acknowledged "shopping and events will look different than in years past." But according to the spokesperson, the decision was rooted in giving employees time with loved ones: "This is a unique year and our people have gone above and beyond to take care of customers since the start of the pandemic. Closing on Thanksgiving Day is another way we are saying thank you to them for all their efforts."
In the past, Walmart has been criticized for reportedly not giving workers holiday pay for working on holidays. The day off on Thanksgiving is not automatically a paid day. Walmart employees will have to apply their paid time off (PTO) to the day, which are paid hours off that associates accrue through hours worked. According to a Walmart spokesperson, an associate can use their PTO, if they choose, for Thursday, Nov. 26, in order to be paid for the day.
With in-store Black Friday deals looking they could be effectively cancelled this year due to the ongoing pandemic, it won't be surprising if other stores follow Walmart's example and also decide to shift their holiday hours this year.
If you think you’re showing symptoms of coronavirus, which include fever, shortness of breath, and cough, call your doctor before going to get tested. If you’re anxious about the virus’s spread in your community, visit the CDC for up-to-date information and resources, or seek out mental health support.

text: One of the remotest sites on Earth, these are the Sub-Antarctic Islands of New Zealand, pristine wonderlands full of unique beauty and rare species. New Zealand’s Sub-Antarctic Islands attained World Heritage Listing status in 1998. The five island groups and accompanying territorial waters are administered by New Zealand’s Department of Conservation, which upholds strict legislations to ensure the safety and longevity of the land’s diverse and unique array of flora and fauna. More recently, the islands have become the center of diverse scientific interest, including the collection of vital weather data to various geological assessments. More importantly, the conservation of unique species of flora and fauna.


KWAJALEIN ATOLL, REPUBLIC OF THE MARSHALL ISLANDS - The Missile Defense Agency (MDA) and the Ballistic Missile Defense System (BMDS) Operational Test Agency, in conjunction with Soldiers, Sailors and Airmen from multiple combatant commands, successfully completed a complex missile defense flight test Sept. 10, 2013, resulting in the intercept of two medium-range ballistic missile targets.
The test, Flight Test Operational-01 (FTO-01), was conducted near U.S. Army Kwajalein Atoll/Reagan Test Site at several locations in the western Pacific, stressing the ability of the Aegis Ballistic Missile Defense (BMD) and Terminal High Altitude Area Defense (THAAD) weapon systems to defeat a raid of two nearly simultaneous targets.
The THAAD system, using an Army-Navy/Transportable Radar Surveillance and Control (AN/TPY-2) radar in Terminal Mode (TM) tracked one of the targets. THAAD developed a fire control solution, launched a THAAD interceptor missile, and successfully intercepted its target.
Soldiers from the operational unit, A-2 THAAD Battery, 11th Brigade, 32nd Army Air Missile Defense Command (AAMDC), out of Fort Bliss, Texas were the personnel operating the THAAD system in the vicinity of Kwajalein Atoll.
The top priority mission of the A-2 THAAD battery during FTO-01 is to be ready at a moment's notice to deter or neutralize any tactical ballistic missile threats to the combatant commander's critical assets. Keeping focus on the top priority during testing can be a challenge when a number of other real-world mission essential responsibilities also have to be accomplished.
Capt. Pete Lawall, battery commander, A-2 THAAD said, "In addition to the execution of this test, we also have multiple responsibilities in the rear, including Preparation to Deploy Order (PTDO) responsibilities and train-up of incoming personnel, so trying to execute all those requirements simultaneously is a challenge."
Lawall added later that they were able to overcome the challenges with having flexible junior leaders, empowering those junior leaders in the rear to execute those tasks necessary to prepare for deployment, and receiving a lot of help from mission command.
Several MDA officials and contractors were present to observe the flight test activities along with six 94th AAMDC Soldiers who provided the mission command element to the battery Lawall mentioned.
"We are the link between MDA and the war fighters," said Lt. Col. Anibal Vazquez, deputy chief of current operations, 94th AAMDC, and task force officer-in-charge, FTO-01.
During the course of the two month-long exercise, simulated scenarios were executed along with the real live-fire test of the missiles. Information about when the THAAD battery would actually fire the missiles was kept secret in order to keep the test more operationally realistic. 94th AAMDC personnel acted as "trusted agents" and only relayed information to the battery that was pertinent to accomplishing the tasks to complete either the simulation or the real thing.
"We did not want the Soldiers to identify when the live-fire would happen; we just wanted them to be prepared and ready at all times," said Vazquez. "Overall, I am very impressed with all the Soldiers in A-2 on how hard they worked to stay ready. If a piece of equipment went down, everyone, from the private up to the warrant officer, got involved to fix it. If a part arrived, that thing was installed within the next little while."
94th AAMDC also helped the THAAD battery with coordinating personnel arrivals and departures and other routine administrative and logistical tasks.
"We also took care of some of the things that the THAAD normally would do for themselves, such as delivering two spaces and picking up laundry and organizing recreational activities, so that they could concentrate on conducting the testing," said Master Sgt. Anthony Wyatt, current operations senior enlisted leader, 94th AAMDC, and FTO-01 senior enlisted leader.
THAAD has previously completed at least 10 successful intercept tests, including operationally-realistic tests in March 2009, June 2010, October 2011 and October 2012.
FTO-01 demonstrated integrated, layered, regional missile defense capabilities in a combined live-fire operational test. The test provided the Soldiers, Sailors and Airmen who operated the systems a unique opportunity to refine operational doctrine and tactics while increasing confidence in the execution of integrated air and missile defense plans.

Reggie Talks Wii With MTV
Nintendo seems to be all over the press lately, trumpeting their successes with the Wii and receiving generally favorable reviews for their new console. Reggie Fils-Aime recently talked to MTV about this, and their aims for the future as they try to keep moving forward with the Wii. In addition to their massive tie rate with The Legend of Zelda, Fils-Aime claims that third-party titles like Red Steel, Rayman, Madden 2007, and Trauma Center: Second Opinion have sold well with the Wii.
Reggie also talked upcoming first-party releases. January should bring a new Wario Ware title and Wii Play, with Mario Party 8 coming by March. The new Metroid and Super Mario titles will come some time after that, but before the end of next year. Third-party support was also praised, something which was somewhat problematic with the Gamecube.
Other topics covered include Reggie’s opinions of some of the reviews Wii titles have been receiving, online play (the first title will be Pokemon Battle Revolution in Japan), and Virtual Console Mondays, Nintendo’s weekly release of software titles for their Virtual Console, much like Microsoft’s Live Arcade Wednesdays. While the interview doesn’t give a whole lot away on Nintendo’s strategies, it is interesting to see Reggie’s viewpoint on the console launch.

Hungary Deploys ‘Border Hunters’ to Keep Illegal Immigrants Out
Budapest is also tightening punishments for illegal border crossing and human trafficking
BUDAPEST—Hungary’s government said Tuesday it will deploy police units of “border hunters” at its frontier with Serbia to keep illegal immigrants out of the country amid a flood of refugees from the Middle East and North Africa.
The head of the prime minister’s office said several thousand police will be placed along Hungary’s 175-kilometer (110-mile) border with non-European Union member Serbia, where most of the migrants enter the country.

Designing a better Brunei – Jordan Yau
From being a graduate in Advertising and Public Relations at Limkokwing University to a Creative Director at MadMilk Design and Services, Jordan Yau shares with FAIQ AIRUDIN his journey in advertising.
JORDAN Yau, 27, founder of MadMilk Design and Services, shares with The Brunei Times his journey into the creative industry and challenges he has faced from pitching ideas to clients to finding the right fits for his team. His interest in design stemmed from having peers who were creatively inclined. This interest soon grew beyond design after he be-gan his degree in Limkokwing University of Creative Technology, Kuala Lumpur in 2005.
‘‘My interest evolved not just in design but in communications as well. These two things need to come together to make things work, to give them a purpose,’’ says Jordan. This sense of purpose comes through in his design work.
‘‘The whole point is to have advertising done right in Brunei. There are a couple of things out there that work. It’s exciting to know there are peers with the same aspirations, and it is more challenging that way.’’ Jordan has a vision of how advertising should be done.
‘Advertising requires thought behind a concept and strategies, and it is rarely about aesthetics. For most of our projects, aesthetics is the primary request. (Clients) come to us solely for design work, from logo proposals, to print ads and brochures.’’
For Jordan, however, most design work in the country, is short-term, ‘‘very ad hoc, touch and go kind of thing’’. This approach to design is frustrating, he notes. ‘‘The biggest challenge is constantly catering to speculative work requests –basically we pitch an idea –it’s not awarded to us but we are asked to draft, sometimes, numerous proposals based on them,’’ he explains. Keeping a small office is part of Jordan’s plan for the company.
‘‘My intention for MadMilk is for it to be a boutique agency, so even if we do grow, it’s not going to grow too big. There are only two of us right now, doing what we do best’’. The way they work with each other, is much like an ‘‘ecosystem’’, explains Jordan.
As the Creative Director, Jordan keeps the project to its objective and makes sure the message comes across in the final product. But he also emphasises that working on a project is a team effort. There is still along way to go for Jordan. ‘‘We are not there yet, but we are close to what we have envisioned. I originally started MadMilk with the intention of it being an idea company, where we consult on ideas, come up with ideas with strategies and concepts. But we are working towards that.’’
Jordan is humble about running the company for three years, and modestly shares that surviving the three years is an accomplishment in itself. As a graduate of Advertising and Public Relations from Limkokwing University, the nearest thing he could find in Brunei in this area was graphic design since for him,‘‘it goes hand in hand’’. As part of his college programme, he did a one-month internship at Sunlight advertising, which he thinks is an important step. ‘‘It wasn’t what I expected but I learnt a lot. I learnt about buyer behavior and how to come up with strategies, and be exposed to graphic design.’’
After he graduated, he worked in a print company for a year and then spent two years at a design agency before deciding to start up a company of his own. ‘‘To he honest, I thought about it a lot. I figured that I am still young, so I just took the plunge.’’
He shares that creativity does not just come ‘‘with a snap of a finger’’, but actually from talking and listening to other people, and finding the right balance between work and play. He believes creativity and design in the country will only develop through idea sharing. ‘
‘The way I see it, it will definitely benefit everyone if we share ideas. That is what creativity is about; we don’t just sit in a room and come up with ideas, you have to talk, experiment, and discuss’’

By Oralandar Brand-Williams | The Detroit News
On the one-year anniversary of his release from prison after 32 years, Richard Wershe Jr. filed a lawsuit Tuesday accusing former FBI agents, ex-Detroit police officers and former federal prosecutors of child abuse in connection with his time as an informant when he was a teen.
“I want this chapter in my life closed,” said Wershe, a former FBI and Detroit police informant known as “White Boy Rick,” as he was surrounded by his mother Darlene and other family members Tuesday.
Wershe, 52, said he had wanted to file the lawsuit many years ago but his two former attorneys feared that if he did he would have no chance at being released.
The press conference was the first time Wershe talked to reporters at length since being released from prison a year ago after serving 32 years and seven months behind bars.
Richard Wershe Jr., a former FBI and Detroit police informant known as ”White Boy Rick,” hugs his mother Darlene McCormick after a press conference at the Penobscot Building, in Detroit, July 20, 2021, announcing a lawsuit against FBI agents and Detroit police for alleged child abuse. Wershe spent 32 years in prison after a drug trafficking arrest at 17 years old in1987.”,”copyrightHolder”:”David Guralnick, The Detroit News
Former Detroit police officers William Jasper and Kevin Green and retired FBI agents Herman Groman and James Dixon are named as defendants in the lawsuit filed in U.S. District Court in Detroit. The suit also names former federal prosecutors Lynn Helland, who is now the executive director and general counsel of the Michigan Judicial Tenure Commission, James King and a third listed as “unknown.” The city of Detroit is also named as a defendant.
A spokeswoman for the Detroit office of the FBI declined to comment.
Detroit Police 2nd Deputy Chief Rudy Harper said “We have not seen the lawsuit nor the allegations…”
Helland had no immediate comment. Dixon, a former Southfield resident, reportedly died in 2018.
In the lawsuit, Wershe candidly recounted his time as a teenage informant who was allegedly first approached by FBI agents when he was 14. According to Wershe and his attorneys, the Detroit teen regularly met with FBI agents and Detroit police officers to give information on Detroit’s burgeoning drug gangs.
“Had I not been an informant for the task force, I would never have gotten involved with drug gangs or criminality of any sort,” Wershe claims in the lawsuit. He maintains he did not come up with the moniker “White Boy Rick” but rather it was the media that gave him the description.
Wershe said Tuesday he was used by the FBI agents and the Detroit police officers for information about drug gangs and left to serve out a long prison sentence for a 1988 drug conviction even when they had promised that they would help him out since he cooperated with them for information.
“The justice system hasn’t been fair to me,” Wershe said Tuesday. “This needed to be known. The truth needed to be told.”
Wershe said Tuesday he will …read more

If I had to sum up visiting Denmark with kids, it would be these eight words: ‘Traffic to your destination is light, as usual’. Our navigation system had never before (or since) uttered this phrase. But whilst in Jutland in Denmark every single one of our day trips started with them.
That ease applies to everything else about Denmark. It’s the perfect place to have a fantastic family break, with brilliant Lego-themed attractions, Viking history, immersive contemporary art and culture-rich cities, all with easy access to nature. Add in cheap flights from the UK, free museum entry for children, the lack of queues, the easy driving and widely spoken English and you can see why we’re already planning another Danish holiday.
In this guide I’ll highlight our favourite days out in Jutland, Denmark from the eight days we spent just outside Aarhus. All are around an hour or less drive from Billund airport, making for an effortless itinerary.
Pay a pilgrimage to the birthplace of the word’s favourite toy, Lego. Billund has lofty ambitions to become the ‘creative world capital of children’. It certainly has plenty of kiddy appeal with two brick-based attractions: Legoland Billund and Lego House. Both are less than 2km to the airport – in summer there is a free Billund City Shuttle between the attractions and Billund airport. And as it is Denmark’s second busiest airport there’s plenty of cheap flights to choose from.
The original Legoland, Billund opened in 1968 and remains a guaranteed fun family day out. It’s jam packed with rides, playgrounds, shops and Lego sculptures. Ninjago fan Museum Boy’s favourites were Lloyd’s Laser Quest and the 3D Ninjago ride. Us grown-ups loved the quaint Wild West themed Legoredo town, particularly the beautiful horse merry-go-round, and the plunging Lego canoe trip. The giant DUPLO playhouses were a fun way to take a break from the rides.
But our favourite part was definitely Miniland, recreating European countries and cities with 20 million bricks. There’s lots of detail, moving parts, and even water canons to squirt! Even with seven hours there we still managed to miss things – such as the monorail and the 36 metre high Legotop.
At only 1/5 of the size of Legoland Windsor, Billund is much easier to walk around, or double back if you’ve missed anything. I must admit I did find Billund a less charming site than Legoland Windsor. The latter has more greenery and beautiful views from its hilltop entrance. But I was happy to lose the queues that plague Windsor. We went on a warm day during both Danish and English school holidays, but the waits were much shorter than anything we’ve experienced in Legoland Windsor – mostly 10-15 minutes.
- Legoland Billund take their height restrictions VERY seriously. MG was 9mm too short to enter the ghost house, leading to a one hour crying fit. Give too big rides a wide berth.
- Rides close an hour before the park shuts, so save Miniland for the end of your visit.
I’ve been to three Legolands around the world, but I’ve never been anywhere like Lego House before. This is the ultimate destination for Lego fans, and a real celebration of imaginative play. Even the building looks like it is built from Lego. It’s pure fun: we literally spent eight hours playing together. The play activities are spread across four coloured zones, each designed to develop different skills such as free-building (red) or cognitive skills (blue).
There are bricks everywhere in Lego House: we sat under a giant multicoloured Lego waterfall spewing blocks into huge troughs. The activities are so varied – we commanded an Arctic explorer robot in the Robo Lab, had a go at urban planning, raced Lego cars, helped grow a Lego flowerbed, watched our brick critters dance and released Lego fish into a digital aquarium. But by far the most popular activity was Character Creator. The kids raked through the countless heads, torsos, legs, hairdos and accessories to make unique Lego people. And if they’re a little reluctant to leave their creations, they can save photos to download at home. In Mini Chef we ordered dinner using only bricks, delivered by serving robots.
If I had to choose between Legoland and Lego House, this wins hands down (and I haven’t even mentioned the Lego Museum in the basement).
- The best rooftop playgrounds are outside the building and can be freely accessed without a ticket.
- Keep an eye on the digital board for discounts in the Mini Chef restaurant – we saved 15% by eating after 5pm.
Denmark’s second largest city has stepped out from under Copenhagen’s shadow since being crowned European Capital of Culture in 2017. Aarhus is clean, green and home to both modern architecture and historic buildings with quaint cobbled streets. Here’s our favourite things we did on our four visits there.
ARoS Aarhus Art Gallery
If you’ve ever wondered what it might be like to walk inside a rainbow, make a beeline for ARoS, one of the largest art museums in Northern Europe. At its crown is the unmissable Your Rainbow Panorama by Danish-Icelandic artist Olafur Eliasson. A circular walk around its 150 metres rewards you with panoramic views of Aarhus, all filtered through its rainbow coloured glass. It’s a magical experience, well worth savouring.
Spiral down ARoS’s corkscrew staircase to reach the other nine levels of contemporary and historic art. Museum Boy was dwarfed by the larger than life Boy, crouching to squeeze in the gallery like a modern day Alice in Wonderland. In the basement we played ping pong whilst pondering big questions about the future. And in Team Lab’s ‘Tomorrow is the Question’ we stepped inside a digital waterfall and petal storm, the water parting around us.
- The exhibits change frequently so check with the front desk to see what’s currently best for families.
- Your Rainbow Panorama is a permanent exhibit and stays open until 9pm on Tuesday to Friday evenings.
Den Gamle By
Walk through two hundred years of history in the historic old town of Aarhus. Den Gamle By was the first open air museum in the world. Its cobbled streets are now home to historic buildings from all over Denmark, arranged in three key years – 1864, 1927 and 1964. Recreated interiors, hands-on activities and costumed interpreters really bring the place to life. Fires burn inside the homes, whilst in the shops, you can buy goods similar to those available at the time.
The nineteenth century is the largest and most rewarding part. It’s here that the children fed chickens, took part in Easter crafts including sweet making, and played traditional fairground games. In the 1960s area I loved exploring the retro flats, including a commune and a gynacology clinic, and I couldn’t get the kids to leave the toys alone in the kindergarten. The eye-wateringly expensive horse ride around the site had Museum Girl beaming with joy. There is so much for families to see and do there that we ended up visiting twice. We still didn’t see all of the little mini-museums housed within some of the historic buildings.
- If you only have a short time, the 19th century part was the most rewarding for the kids, although mid-century fans will love the 1960s section.
- The 19th century play area shut a couple of hours earlier than the rest of the site, so head there early on in your visit.
The Tropical Houses in Aarhus Botanical Gardens
Travel from historic Denmark to the tropics in only a few steps. Just uphill from Den Gamle By are four glasshouses, home to 5,000 species of tropical and subtropical plants. Each has a different climate, from desert to the Mediterranean. Our favourite room was the giant bubble-shaped Tropical dome with its tall wooden viewing platform and free-flying butterflies. The Museum Kids were delighted when butterflies landed on the apple slices they patiently held out. It’s free to visit and has a decent indoor cafe with a small play area. There’s plenty more room to roam outside in the beautiful Botanic Gardens.
- The glasshouses include a few poisonous plants, which are very clearly marked with alarming looking skull and crossbones signs.
Aarhus Street Food Market
Eating out with children can for us be a bit of a chore, but not so when we tried Aarhus Street Food Market. It’s an energetic, urban street food experience. Inside the industrial old bus depot is a riot of modified freight containers, food trucks and old hotdog stands. Prices are reasonable by Danish standards, and there’s a world of choice from the 30 street food caterers. With Vietnamese sandwiches, Chinese steamed buns, Danish comfort food and American classics, it was easy to find something for everyone. Inside was a little frantic for us, but the large decked terrace proved a calm place to catch the last of the daylight.
- Don’t miss the natural frozen lollies, sold near the entrance.
I think I found my new favourite museum. Just to the south of Aarhus lies Moesgaard Museum, the perfect mix of striking architecture, archaeology and nature. Climb the sloping grass roof for stunning views to the sea – or just to roll down after! Inside, the galleries tell the story of thousands of years of Danish history in a simple, compelling way. It’s wonderfully theatrical, skillfully blending lifelike people models, digital projections and interactives, Virtual and Augmented Reality, set dressing, and historic objects.
In the First Immigrants gallery, Museum Boy jumped aboard a river boat, ‘hunted’ animals in a forest, and had a VR tour of the earliest settlements. We were transfixed by Graubelle Man, a 2,000 year old human preserved so well in a bog that you can see his shock of red hair and even the stubble on his chin. And in the Vikings he steered a ship across the seas, explored the lands of different Viking invasions, and tapped a key chain to hear characters from the past talk to us. It’s an imaginative, world-class museum that works for all the family.
- It’s a large museum, so just pick a few galleries and allow time for a cafe break. We visited The First Immigrants, Grauballe Man in the Edge of the Bog and the Vikings, all of which really captured the children’s imaginations.
A day trip to Jelling
In the otherwise sleepy town of Jelling, the bloody history of Denmark’s Vikings is laid bare in Kongernes Jelling, Home of the Viking Kings. This free, state-of-the-art sensory experience tells families everything you need to know about Viking life, death and the importance of the Unesco World Heritage site of Jelling. Sit around a fire to hear Viking adventure stories, grab a weapon to find out how long it took for someone to die from its injuries, or spin the digital rune stone for a colourful reading. Enjoy great views of the Jelling monument complex, and peer through augmented reality binoculars to see what Jelling looked like a thousand years ago.
End your trip with a clamber up Jelling Mounds, a proper look at the runic stones and a stroll around the perimeter of the old Pallistrades, now marked with large white pillars.
- Look out for the robot chalkboard on the way in. If you’re very lucky, you may even spot the robot lawnmower in action outside!
A day trip to Himmelbjerget
This may be the only country where its highest point is completely doable for even the youngest visitor. That’s because Himmelbjerget, or ‘Sky Mountain’, is only 147 metres above sea level. Better still for little legs, the car park is just 200 metres away. At the top is a nineteenth century viewing tower. For a nominal fee, you can clamber its stone steps to get a stunning view over the Danish lakes. This traditional destination for Danes has facilities including shops, restaurants, a large lawn to picnic on, and a playground.
If you’re up for something more challenging, the area is criss-crossed with footpaths which weave through the woodland. Be warned, there are some with steep sections and steps.
- In summer you can catch a steam boat from Ry and Silkeborg and walk up from the river to Himmelbjerget.
If you’re looking for an effortless family holiday, I highly recommend visiting Jutland in Denmark. By all means go for the Lego, but stay for the culture. Let me know your thoughts on Denmark with kids in the comments below, or over on Instagram, Twitter or Facebook.
Disclosure: I’ve only recommended things we tried and enjoyed. We visited Denmark in April 2019 with Museum Boy (6) and Museum Girl (4).

Marine diatoms show high plasticity in adapting to fluctuating light conditions
A research team led by Prof. Wang Guangce from the Institute of Oceanology of the Chinese Academy of Sciences (IOCAS) reported the molecular mechanism of marine diatoms in response to fluctuating light conditions.
The study was published in Plant Physiology on Sept. 23.
Cultivation of marine diatoms in the laboratory is under constant light conditions, but the light environment in the ocean is not constant—it fluctuates.
"Actually, marine diatoms have a strong adaptability to the environment and generally dominate in upwelling and turbulence systems," said Zhou Lu, first author of the study. These environments are unstable, in which light intensity changes dramatically. Diatoms need to respond quickly to the fluctuating light environment to maintain their growth.
The researchers used methods involving bioinformatics, molecular biology, biochemistry and physiology to reveal the molecular mechanism of marine diatoms responding to fluctuating light.
They found that marine diatoms could use fluctuating light stably and efficiently in comparison with dinoflagellates. Proton Gradient Regulation proteins (PGRL1 and PGR5) in the photosynthetic thylakoid membrane of marine diatoms are extremely sensitive to the fluctuating light (this feature is obviously different from that of land plants and freshwater algae), and both play important roles in marine diatoms responding to fluctuating light environment.
Moreover, the excessive accumulation of PGRL1 inhibits the efficiency of photosystem II (PSII) under fluctuating light. This important discovery has changed the traditional perception that PGRL1 just plays a protection role around photosystem I (PSI).
"We also found that the carbon fixation capacity and lipid accumulation of marine diatoms increased under severe fluctuating light condition," said Gao Shan, the other first author of the study.
"The above results will not only help us fully understand the biological characteristics of marine diatoms, but also provide new insights into high light efficiency breeding and lipid yield improvement of economic diatoms in the future," said Prof. Wang.
