The Death Of The BNP
The BNP’s deteriorating influence on the British public can be seen across the country, despite the increase in social deprivation and increased unemploymen,t it seems the majority of people in Britain have no time for a man quoted describing the holocaust “The Holohoax” and “a mixture of Allied wartime propaganda, extremely profitable lie, and latter witch-hysteria.” Of course, infighting has played a part; He announced ”[the] time for division and disruption is over” after his narrow re-election in July of last year, but it did little to stop rumors of the party’s break up.
The rise in Islamophobia following the 9/11 and 7/7 attacks almost certainly contributed to the party’s rise in popularity in the last few years. But the growth of other far-right networks such as The English/Scottish Defense League and the significant media coverage they have received for their controversial marches has pushed traditional nationalists. The current dissatisfaction with major party leaders would usually point to a rise in nationalism and support for far-right parties, but with other extreme-right parties like the National Front actually gaining more support in what were previously BNP strongholds, it seems like the party’s time on the political circuit might be up. Word that the English Defense League may be entering into elections, along with BNP-offshoot the British Freedom Party, will only compound Nick Griffin’s problem.
The British National Party started in earnest with John Tyndall in 1982, who broke from the NF to form a more politically orientated party, with less affiliation to the neo-Nazism and violent clashes that had beset the NF since its formation in the late 1960′s. The British National Party gained momentum through the following decade, although violence and racial insensitivity was far from eradicated. The BNP advocates “firm but voluntary incentives for immigrants and their descendants to return home”, but more often than not this advocacy would manifest itself in the form of blatant racism and inflammatory remarks.
So why,with the double dip recession and the rate of employment decreasing steadily, is the BNP faltering in its course to re-instate British values? And why is the BNP failing as a political party?
Following their most popular time in British politics since the BNP’s conception, Nick Griffin and his party are now facing the fact that:
- Their policy of only admitting indigenous Britons was reversed following legal challenges in 2010.
- The two seats the BNP won in the European Parliament has done little to win over European colleagues, with both Nick Griffin and his party cohort Andrew Brons left sitting on their own.
- The growth in popularity of the English Defense League and other far-right wing groups is drastically altering support for the BNP.
- Election into parliament seems to have alienated some voters that felt the far-right party didn’t belong there, although it was likely that the media hype of the party’s alleged success is where hundreds of young men and women first discovered the BNP .
- Nick Griffin’s appearance on Question Time garnered the show eight million viewers. It also helped to dispel some of the ‘mysticism’ around Nick Griffin that had been built up through his near Disney-villain like treatment in the press. The Channel 4 documentary Young, Angry and White shows how Griffin’s appearance on Question Time enticed many young audience members into the BNP, while pushing many of the older generation away.
In March of this year the Europe Against Racism and Intolerance published a report warning that austerity measures and the recession in general was leading to “a consequent rise in intolerance”. So it’s clearly not that people are becoming more liberal in their views on minorities, but rather they are turning away from the traditional voice of far-right politics. The report stated that “Xenophobic rhetoric is now part of mainstream debate and extremists are increasingly using social media to channel their views,”. Unfortunately, the answer to the BNP’s increasing unpopularity has less to do with increased understanding and has far more to do with the growth in other branches of far-right parties, gaining popularity through flyers, marches, media exposure and of course internet sites.
So what can Nick Griffin do to pull the ailing party back from the brink of collapse? His aggressive media campaigns served him well in the early days of this century, but will he really keep to his promise of stepping down as BNP leader by 2013? These aren’t easy questions to answer, and only the party leader really knows what his own plans are. But with increasing pressure from debt collectors, angry voters and in fighting, it looks like Mr Griffin is going to have to figure out these answers soon, lest the sinking ship of intolerance that is the BNP should sink beneath the waves for good.

Editorial. This article doesn’t say an awful lot that won’t be common knowledge to anti-fascists already. However, it is nice to recall the BNP’s meteoric decline from the days when they were virtually the only far right game in town. Strange. It seems like it all happened years ago.

We had our first garden this last summer. It was quite the experience and I completely enjoyed it. My family had a lot of fun growing and eating. In fact, now my kids want to save every single seed they come upon. We have enough pumpkin seeds to grow a small pumpkin patch next year. We have several apple seeds to grow half-a-dozen apple trees. Problem is, we live in a city so we don’t have the room to have a pumpkin patch or a orchard! I do love their enthusiasm and the learning that has taken place.
We’ve not taken down and cleaned out the garden. As I look back over last summer, I know I’ve learned a lot. As I look forward to next year, I know I’ve got a few things to change.
Boy has this first year taught me a few things! Here’s a quick list of lessons I learned:
1) Start planting earlier- middle of May
2) Inside sprouting happens very quickly- within a week!
3) Consider plant shading when planting- my tomatoes were overshaded by my cucumbers
4) Herbs are better inside- none of my herbs grew 😦
5) Non-organic seeds grew better- non of the organic seeds grew
Changes for next year:
1) Will plant my tomatoes and cucumbers further away from each other
2) Will plant more tomatoes and cucumbers
3) Will have 1 child at a time helping with planting the seeds
4) Will plant squash
5) Will use a wooden bed (if I can get my husband on board with this!)
Did you do a garden this year? What lessons did you learn? What do you plan to do differently next year? I’d love to hear from you, so please share any gardening tips you have.
This gardening experience has been so much fun. The kids have really enjoyed it. My son every morning and evening goes out to check the progress of our labors. He excitedly exclaims “there’s one!” as he finds the growing cucumbers. My husband checks things over and was the first one to notice the little ones growing on the vine.
Not everything has gone well with our little experimental garden. Here’s a few things that could use some improvement:
1) No herbs grew. Not. One. That was a huge disappointment. I love, love, love cooking with fresh herbs and couldn’t wait to cook with ones I’d grown. It can’t get any fresher than grabbing it out of your very own garden! But, that hasn’t worked out for us.
2) Our volunteer plant. Now, it was great to have a volunteer zucchini plant from our compost pile. Downfall however it not only grew right over our onions but also got the grubs. Yeah, not fun. So, not only did several onions die/not grow but so did the volunteer plant.
3) Organic Seeds were a bust. The first time I went shopping for seeds I was with my sister-in-law. She’d favored organic seed and I didn’t have a preference. So, I purchased organic. I went back several weeks later and purchased a few more seeds. Luckily I did otherwise we’d have nothing in our garden. Yup, the organic seeds never grew.
There are a lot of amazing things going on with our garden. Here’s a few of those.
1) Cucumbers galore! Oh boy did our cucumbers take off! My husband is very much looking forward to some home-made pickles and I’m excited to try out canning this year!
2) Just enough tomatoes. We have 4 tomato plants right now. Two are quite small and are on the verge of the cucumber hostage situation become a complete take-over. The largest plant has a couple of green tomatoes on it. I’m certain the second to largest will have some soon with the smaller plants following shortly after.
3) Watering is relaxing. I love watering the garden in the evenings. The sun is going down and I’m out there alone. The neighbors all retreated into their homes. It’s just me and my little garden.
4) Family enjoyment. As I mentioned above, my kids love the garden. In fact last week when we picked our first few cucumbers, my son was a bit overzealous and picked one early. They squeal with delight as they look for more veggies on the vine. That enjoyment is priceless.
5) Educational opportunities. Growing the garden has helped with educational opportunities. Not only do we talk about the fun of growing our own food but the importance of doing it. We have the chance to add a little science to our life by discussing why worms are important to gardens.
We’ve learned a lot this year so far with our garden. So much it would be hard to narrow it down and make a list. However, the top two things at this moment that I’ve learned is this: 1) it’s not nearly as difficult as I once thought 2) Joy of a garden outweighs any heartache (or body ache).
How’s your gardening going? What challenges have you faced? What benefits have you received? I would love to hear from you!

The soul of the sluggard craves and gets nothing, while the soul of the diligent is rich and supplied. Prov 13: 4
I’m having our first family vegetable garden this summer and its been an experience so far! We have a small plot, I’ve added in a few pictures below. I’ve planted carrots, onions, tomatoes, herbs, and cucumbers. I started this little project with a lot of excitement. We’d been putting off gardening because of our plan to move. Well, now that plan has changed and I insisted we not wait any longer to plan the garden. So, we have a family garden.
My definition of a family garden is we all work in it. Now, I’ll admit, since it was my idea I’ve worked the most in it and anticipate I’ll continue to do the most work. And I’m OK with that. However, everyone will eventually get their hands dirty. The kids have already helped me with the digging and planting. My son was so excited and enthusiastic about it. My daughter loved digging and pulling some of the weeds to get started but needed some encouragement to get her hands in the dirt. I’m really looking forward to summer time spent as a family in our garden.
Since it was small plot, I didn’t want to pay to till the ground. So, I bought a hand tiller and tilled it myself. Now that as a lot of work! Despite working out, my muscle felt a bit sore the next morning after tilling. The tilling and preparing the dirt took the longest. I was so gung-ho that the first weekend I managed to till 3/4 of the garden space. My enthusiasm slowed and it took an additional 3 nights and a weekend to complete the last 1/4.
After the tilling was done, the rest of the planting went much easier. Since I tilled the ground over about a 3 week period (it kept raining on me!), I had to go back over most of it to re-loosen-up the soil. After I did that, I spread some of our composit soil over the top and worked it into the ground. Ideally, I wanted to let it sit for a few days, but since time was not on my side. I let it sit for a day and planted the seeds the next day.
The first picture is my daughter helping to shovel. The second is the garden all tilled- by hand and the third is my son planting flowers. The fourth is the planted garden.
Did you plant a garden this year? How did your planting time go? Is there a part of the process that seems like more work than another?
Our family, ok…I, decided to have a garden this year. We really wanted one last year but had a lack of time to do it. Plus we were hoping to move this summer and wasn’t certain that a garden would help us move. So, we put it off. Now that we’ve relooked at our finances and re-evaluated the housing market, we’ve decided to go on a 3 year plan. Not wanting to put off gardening for 3 plus years, we, OK me, decided this would be the year!
We do have a small flowering area in the front of our house and then along the side we usually plant a few flowers and plants. And, yes, they do get overgrown a bit with weeds. So, I don’t expect my garden will be perfect. But, I’m very excited to begin growing some of our own food. Growing-up there was always a garden. I didn’t do a lot of the work in the garden but certainly helped plant and then harvest- you know, the fun parts. I’m not a huge fan of dirt and certainly not a big fan of the things that LIVE in dirt. But, I do love the idea of my veggies!
We are going to be on vacation over the next week and won’t be able to actually get our hands dirt (eww…) until we return. But that hasn’t stopped me from moving forward. I now have a hand tiller so when we get back I can plot out my territory. The seeds were on sale so I bought a few of those too. So far I’ll be growing: Carrots, Cucumbers, Herbs, Tomatoes, and marigolds. I originally thought I’d grow the tomatoes from plants. However, I realize how cheap seeds are and that I could start them inside while I was gone. The Marigold are for keeping the bunnies away. I hope that works!
I found this nifty little plant starter kit at Menards. We had a family activity to plan the seeds in here. It has 36 slots. The kids loved playing in the dirt, I’m not sure I’d call them helpful…..Anyways, it self waters for up to 10 days which is perfect because I’ll refill up the water tomorrow night and it should be good until our return.
Here’s the nifty little self-watering plant starter:

Now we know exactly why Republicans tried so hard to keep people from voting.
The easiest thing to do this morning, after Tuesday’s great Democratic victory, would be to rehearse all the pre-election hooey that oozed from Foxed-up folks, whether it be local bloggers or well-known extremists on TV and radio, who were cock-sure that Americans wouldn’t put the black Kenyan socialist back in the White’s House.
Yes, that would be so easy. But because I am such a gracious winner, I’m just not gonna play back all that stuff, all that vitriol-based commentary, all those foolish predictions by the Obama-haters. Nope, I’m not gonna do it.
Couldn’t help it.
But I’ll spare you the rest of the rubbish that came from others, who I am sure had a hard time popping out of bed this morning, at least those who could actually get to sleep after it became clear that they are going to have to live with Barack Obama for another four years.
And they will have to live with more Democrats in the Democrat-controlled Senate and a few more in the House. And, ahhhh, they will have to live with ObamaCare.
Not that some of those folks didn’t put up a fight last night.
I watched with utter delight what happened on Fox after it called the election for the President. Turd Blossom, uh, Karl Rove, was in rare form. He openly challenged Fox’s “decision desk“—nerdish guys and gals who crunch the numbers using decidedly non-ideological arithmetic—and pleaded with the anchors to do something about it. To stop it. To repeal the laws of mathematics.
Here’s how Time’s TV critic, James Poniewozik described it:
What is unusual–really, one of the most spectacular things I have ever seen on cable news–is for one arm of a network to basically turn against itself on-air. “Here’s what we’re going to do!” said anchor Bret Baier. “We’re going to get someone from the decision desk and we’re going to bring them in here and we’re going to have them on air and we’re going to interview them about this decision.”
That’s right: One of you nerds had better get in here and explain yourselves to Karl Rove! You have made an important Republican very upset!
If you didn’t see what happened on Fox, I suggest you read Poniewozik’s entire account of it, including his summation of Karl Rove’s attempt to commandeer a network in service to his political party:
It was a fitting moment for an election that often seemed to be a campaign over the idea of mathematical knowability itself. But it was also a glaring, and embarrassing, example of the extent to which Fox News has become an arm of the Republican Party and is expected by GOP operatives to behave as one. Rove may be a party big shot, but he’s just a guy giving analysis on Fox’s air. He does not run the network, even if his friends do.
And yet apparently no one in Fox’s studio felt empowered to tell him that, just because he’d raised a squillion dollars for Republicans SuperPACs this election, he is not entitled to have the decision desk hauled out to answer to him like a chef who sent out an undercooked steak. It’s the sort of thing that might cause you to examine your mission as a journalistic network. I’m not waiting up for that to happen, though.
No, Fox “News” will not examine its journalistic mission. It won’t ask itself why so many of us put quotation marks around its “News.” It will continue to falsely call itself fair and balanced and wage war on arithmetic and the Democratic Party.
But Democrats can celebrate one simple fact today. Despite all of what the Fox “News” Channel did to sabotage their chances of winning, despite all that Karl Rove and his moneyed minions did to try to buy the election, despite all the attempts to suppress the vote of minorities and young people, a majority of Americans still placed their hope for a better future in the hands of the Democratic Party.
And at least for one day, that is worth celebrating.

Objective: Complex indeterminate renal cystic masses (Bosniak type III) can have benign and malignant causes and have been traditionally considered surgical lesions. We sought to determine the incidence of malignancy and to assess a possible role for imaging-guided biopsy for this category of renal masses.
Materials and methods: Three hundred ninety-seven renal biopsies were performed at our institution between 1991 and 2000. Between January 1997 and August 2000, 28 Bosniak category III lesions, based on established CT imaging criteria on helical CT scans, were identified for analysis. The incidence of malignancy, based on surgical pathology or imaging follow-up and percentage of lesions proceeding to surgery, among these 28 lesions, was determined. The surgical results were correlated with the biopsy findings.
Results: Of the 28 biopsied category III lesions, 17 (60.7%) were malignant (16 renal cell carcinomas and one lymphoma), and 11 (39.3%) were benign (six hemorrhagic cysts, three inflammatory cysts, one metanephric adenoma, and one cystic oncocytoma). Seventeen of the 28 lesions (16 renal cell carcinomas and one inflammatory cyst) had surgical resection after the biopsy. All resected lesions had pathologic diagnoses identical to the percutaneous imaging-guided biopsy results. The remaining 11 patients who had undergone nonsurgical biopsies had radiologic follow-up for a minimum of 1 year, with benign lesions showing no interval change.
Conclusion: Renal biopsy and radiologic follow-up were useful in identifying nonmalignant lesions in complex cystic renal masses and avoided unnecessary surgery in 39% of patients.

The Iowa State Cyclones have a lot of work to do to work their way up the Big 12 standings in 2014. Head coach Paul Rhoads has made changes to his staff during the offseason with the addition of Mark Mangino as offensive coordinator to add a spark next season. As Mangino looks to implement his new system this fall, it could open up the opportunity for tight end E.J. Bibbs to have a breakout season.
Last season, Bibbs finished second on the team with 39 receptions for 462 yards and a pair of touchdowns. He has shown the ability to be a dangerous pass catcher in the middle of the field during his junior season providing a matchup problem releasing off the line of scrimmage. Adding him to the mix with Quenton Bundrage, who could be the top receiver in the Big 12 next season, the dynamic Jarvis West, and 6-foot-5 transfer D’Vario Montgomery makes the Cyclone passing attack a dangerous combination.
When Mangino was leading the Kansas Jayhawks, he opened up the playbook regularly and will be looking to do the same in Ames next season. Using Bibbs to open up the middle of the field and take advantage of mismatches in coverage is going to be a major piece of the Iowa State attack going forward. Finding ways to utilize Bibbs’ pass-catching ability will open things up in a major way and provide a spark for the Cyclones next fall.
While it will be a major uphill battle for Iowa State to factor into the Big 12 race next season, they figure to be a very dangerous team on the field thanks in large part to the talent of Bibbs at tight end. Will he be an enough of an X-factor to make the Cyclones a player this fall?

Thanks to Justyna “Nibyiebo” Wolodkiewicz for getting in touch to share her work. She is a mixed media artist from Szczecin, Poland.
“When you are an artist the things that matter are ideas, creative process and above all the message and self-experssion. That’s the source of my joy at least. I stubbornly play that game of art because it is the sense of my life. It is fulfilling and it is fun.
My brain was contaminated with art virus in the early childhood. I grew up with crayons and brushes and colorful paper. I can’t get rid of them, so I celebrate art. I do it despite life circumstances, discouragement and lack of income from artistic activity.”
There’s a real charm about Justyna’s pieces, which take the playful medium of polymer clay and mix it with embroidery to create micro world and science-like images that poke the imagination. I’m reminded of school books, petri dishes and animation. And fun, lots of fun.
They induce a smile and they’re a clever combination of two media that don’t often get to share much space with each other. Be sure to visit the Nibyniebo etsy store to check out more of her pieces. Tell her Mr X Stitch sent you!

I'm quite new to programming AVRs. I managed to upload the bootloader to my Atmega328 by using these tutorials:
Now want to upload a sketch to it. I had already managed to upload sketches to Attiny's before, but when I try to use the Arduino as ISP programmer to program the Atmega328 it gives an error "avrdude: stk500_getsync(): not in sync: resp=0x00
". The error LED controlled by the "mega-isp" sketch also starts burning. Maybe i'm doing something wrong here, perhaps programming it with the Arduino as programmer is impossible when the bootloader is already burned to the chip??
The first tutorial
says that the Atmega chip needs to be removed and then the stand alone Atmega can be programmed via USB by connecting it to digital pins 0 and 1. Removing the atmega is more or less impossible with the SMD edition of the UNO, so is there any other solution to use the arduino as programmer?

Ravel Watch: Man of the match Morrison dazzles on full Hammers debut
Once hailed as one of the most exciting prospects in English football, Ravel Morrison finally made his full debut for West Ham in their 2-1 victory over Cheltenham in the second round of the Capital One Cup.
The 20-year-old, who signed for the Hammers from Manchester United in January 2012, scored his first West Ham goal and picked up man of the match for his stunning performance.
Alec Shilton was on "Ravel Watch" at Upton Park as he noted Morrison's every move.
0min: It must have been a warm night in east London as Morrison dispensed with the gloves worn against Newcastle on Saturday.
0min: Only matched by Ricardo Vaz Te in his choice of garish footwear, opting for fluorescent orange.
Impressive: Ravel Morrison has tuned over a new leaf
19min: Shows composure and turn of pace to get out of trouble on edge of the area.
25min: Finally springs to life with jinking run allowing Matt Taylor to cross from the left.
37min: Booked for diving in the area.
Touch: Morrison controls the ball from Craig Braham-Barrett
41min: First shot on 41 minutes before being fouled on the edge of the area which Vaz Te scores from.
45min: Wildly slices wide just before half-time with speculative 20-yard volley.
46min: Scores within a minute of half-time, showing fine trickery before firing into the bottom corner from the edge of the area.
Strike: Morrison scores his first goal for the Hammers just after the break
Back of the net: Cheltenham keeper Scott Brown can't prevent Morrison from scoring
Well done: Morrison is congratulated by his teammates after scoring
51min: Attempts to find Vaz Te with deft pass using outside of his boot.

HAMMERS REVEL IN RAVEL SHOW
Sam Allardyce can expect to have Ravel Morrison knocking his door looking for a regular place in the first team after a sparkling display in the Capital One Cup.
Hammers manager Allardyce handed Morrison his full debut against League Two Cheltenham and the 20-year-old former Manchester United starlet marked it with a stunning goal as the hosts eased into round three with a 2-1 victory.
'He's not bad, is he?' said assistant boss Neil McDonald.
'He scored some good goals in pre-season and he's had to be patient, but he's come out and showed what he is about.
'He showed composure, he's knocked on the door and that's what the manager wants. He adds to the competition for places that we want on the pitch.'
Morrison was once tipped as the finest talent to come out of the Old Trafford Academy since Paul Scholes, but he left 18 months ago amid rumours of ill-discipline and a poor attitude.
However, a season on loan at Birmingham appears to have done him the world of good and, while he has a long way to go to live up to the hype, Morrison offered a tantalising glimpse of his potential.
Collecting the ball on the edge of the area just 40 seconds into the second half, Morrison turned inside, then out, leaving the entire Cheltenham defence wrong-footed before curling the ball low into the corner.
'As a young kid coming from Manchester thinking he could walk into the team, it was a bit of a shock to him that he didn't,' added McDonald.
'I think the penny has dropped now and he's come back a wiser young man and we look forward to him keep knocking on the manager's door.
'Now he has to keep scoring, he has to keep the ball, his all-round performance has to be good and he has to be consistent.'

Painless St Petersburg Tours Programs - Discovering The Answers If you are like many pet owners, you hate leaving your four-legged friend behind when you travel. The good news is that you don't necessarily have to, as many airlines, hotels, etc., are pet friendly. This article will give you tips for making the most of your travels with your four-legged friend. Simply sneak a peek at Russia tours - A Closer Look for well-researched tips. Some hotels have video games in them for you to use. If you're traveling with kids, ask the front desk to disconnect these. Most of the time as soon as they're turned on they'll bill you for playing them. So if you take a shower you may not notice your kids have been playing them until you get your bill at checkout. If you are leaving the country, make a copy of your passport to take with you. If you happen to misplace your original passport, it will make getting a new one a much simpler process. The two minutes that it will take for you to make the copy will likely save you hours when getting it replaced during your travels. It is possible to save money on eating out while on vacation. There are web sites that offer restaurant gift certificates for a fraction of their worth. Check out the restaurants in the area and their reviews, and see if you can find gift certificates to help you save money while eating out on vacation. Why don't you pop over to Click here for info for quality specifics. A great travel tip is to be polite at all times when you're traveling abroad. If you give someone a hard time like you would in your home country, bad things could potentially happen to you. A lot of behaviors that are acceptable at your home, are not so easily accepted in other parts of the world. Traveling without your documents in hand can be a very dangerous prospect in some countries. In many places you need to have proof of ID on you at all times, even when just walking around. Making a copy of your passport can be a good option for this so you don't walk around with a real passport. Maybe look around Have A Peek Here for superb details. Try to travel in the off season if it is possible. Some areas this is just not realistic, but others the only difference between the season and off season is the weather. It might be a little hotter, wetter, or even colder during the off season at many travel destinations, but the savings can be over 50 percent less than during season travel. Read the fine print on all travel purchases you make. This ensures you will always get treated fairly. For example, sometimes airlines try to tell you they can not change your flight, but their contract often states that they can. Companies try to hide this information from you because they want more of your money. Be a prepared consumer so that businesses will not be able to take advantage of you. If you need to find a place to eat or want recommendations for a local attraction, stay away from hotel employees. Most of them are given money to advise you to go to certain locations. Visit shops, cafes or restaurants that you like and ask them for advice on where you should go. Have your airline contact you in the event of any changes to your flight schedules. Most airlines have free programs where you can receive calls or text messages if your flight changes, which will come in handy if you are running late or experiencing difficulties with travel arrangements. Just call and ask them to set it up! If you plan on traveling, especially to another country, you should subscribe to a travel insurance. A travel insurance will reimburse your tickets if your flight is canceled. It will also help you fly home if you or a member of your family gets sick in another country. Most travel insurance also insures rental cars. Winter travel can be quite stressful. Give yourself extra time as you get ready for your winter vacation. Delays are always a possibility. Bring something with you to keep you busy, such as a book, since you may have long waits at the security line or at the departure gate. Be prepared to wait. Cities that get a lot of ice and snow, can have delays of two or three hours or more. As mentioned at the start of this article, making your traveling plans can be an enjoyable preamble to your trip and get it off to a great beginning. Use the tips and advice you learned in this article to help keep the fun in your travels, from start to finish.

Neoglycoconjugates as affinity ligands in surface plasmon resonance analysis
2001 (English)In: Analytica Chimica Acta, ISSN 0003-2670, E-ISSN 1873-4324, Vol. 449, no 1-2, 51-58 p.Article in journal (Refereed) Published
Neoglycoconjugates, i.e. de novo synthesized conjugates of glycosides and carrier molecules such as proteins or polylipids, were used as affinity ligands in a surface plasmon resonance (SPR) biosensor assay. The affinity of the glycoconjugates, normally in the lower affinity range, was influenced by increasing the number of glycosides bound per carrier protein, the coupling chemistry, and the assay temperature. As a model system, albumin-conjugated A- and B-active blood group oligosaccharides with suitable linker molecules were chosen. Specific monoclonal antibodies were used as analytes to verify the interactive performance. Affinity kinetics of the systems were evaluated from the SPR biosensor data. The results demonstrate that neoglycoconjugates are a good alternative in presenting affinity ligands of small, specific molecules in SPR-based assays with retained specificity and bioavailability. ⌐ 2001 Elsevier Science B.V.

Hundreds of residents of Serbia’s capital tried to break into the Belgrade City Assembly building as they gathered to protest the results of snap general and local elections that took place last weekend.
The protest rally was organised by the Serbia Against Violence (SPN) coalition, which said the elections were marred by irregularities.
Protesters managed to breach security fences put up by police, broke windows and doors and attempted to enter the building, according to an Anadolu cameraman who was at the scene.
Two SPN leaders, Srdjan Milivojevic and Vladimir Obradovic, tried to open the door to the building but failed to do so.
'Go in!, Go in!'
A police officer appeared at the entrance to the assembly and warned them that forced entry is a “criminal offense.”
“We broke the door! They’re holding the door with their backs,” Milivojevic was heard telling supporters in front of the assembly.
The crowd shouted: "Go in!, Go in!" to Milivojevic, according to the Anadolu cameraman.
Police used pepper spray to disperse the crowd.
Reacting to the situation, President Aleksandar Vucic said in an address to the nation: “There is no ‘color revolution’ going on. We are trying not to injure any of the demonstrators and are attempting to resolve everything peacefully."
According to the preliminary results of elections for the Belgrade City Assembly, the ruling Serbian Progressive Party won 39.34 percent of the vote and secured 49 seats, while Serbia Against Violence coalition won 34.27 percent, getting 42 seats.


President Aliyev also spoke of provision of transparency, successful results of fight against corruption as well as the process of recovery in those systems.
Speaking of the projects of infrastructure, the president added about the measures on provision of the drinking water, development of melioration, construction of magistral roads as well as new roads in villages and improvement of the living conditions of IDPs, Karabakh war invalids and military servicemen.
Besides, new schools, healthcare institutions, olympic sports complex, 'ASAN Service' centers and carpet factories will be constructed and additional measures will be taken for development of entrepreneurship this year by opening new trade houses abroad and creation of new industrial parks. Furthermore, the president expressed his assurance on positive results of reforms in the fields of agriculture and tourism.

FIFA President Sepp Blatter is currently being questioned by representatives of the attorney general of Switzerland.
This follows a statement from the attorney general’s office, saying: “Swiss criminal proceedings against the President of FIFA, Mr. Joseph Blatter, have been opened on 24 September 2015 on suspicion of criminal mismanagement and – alternatively – misappropriation.”
Mr Blatter was due to speak before international press at FIFA headquarters today, following a two day executive committee meeting.
However this was first pushed back, and then cancelled without explanation, shortly after which FIFA headquarters were searched and data was seized from Mr Blatter’s office.
The Swiss attorney general’s office said the investigation surrounds a TV rights deal Mr Blatter signed with former Caribbean football chief Jack Warner in 2005.
Mr Blatter is also suspected of “a disloyal payment” in 2011 to UEFA president Michel Platini, the statement said.
FIFA said it was co-operating with the Swiss attorney general and had complied with its requests for information.
A FIFA spokesperson said: “We will continue this level of co-operation throughout the investigation.”
The news comes as it was announced today that former FIFA executive Jack Warner will face an extradition hearing in December after Trinidad and Tobago authorities overturned his attempts at an appeal.
Mr Warner was indicted in May by an American grand jury on 12 charged of racketeering, wire fraud and money laundering as part of the ongoing investigation into FIFA.

While the location of our organs is clear, this is not the case for some people. In people with this genetic disorder, the organs are on the opposite side of where they should be. The problem, which most of the time does not cause any problems unless examined with examinations such as imaging devices, can manifest itself differently in different species.
In medicine, “situs inversus totalis” This condition, called ‘reversal’, is a rare condition characterized by the reverse change of the organs in their mirror images. congenital anomaly is shown as .
“Does the fact that the organs are upside down affect the person’s life negatively? Isn’t it possible to understand?We searched for answers to some curious questions such as.
All organs may be on the opposite side, sometimes only the heart is in the right direction and the others may be displaced.
Our body externally symmetrical While it has an appearance, the same does not apply to internal organs. Generally speaking, every organ has its place. However, this works the opposite for some people.
A-Situs Solitus B-Situs Inversus Totalis
According to the change in organs, the name of the genetic disorder is situs inversus, which simply means that the internal organs have a mirror appearance. Situs inversus totalis (SIT) is that the heart as well as the internal organs are in an upside down position. I mean dextrocardia right-heartedness The heart is in the right chest, not the left.
From left head: Normal appearance of organs – Change in the Axis of the Heart Only – Mirror view of all organs
There is also situs ambiguus or heterotaxy. This indicates that the exact location of the organs is not clear. While the liver can be found in the middle There may be no spleen or there may be more than one.
66-Year-Old Man’s All Organs Were on the Wrong Side
Doesn’t it cause any symptoms if the organs are not in their normal place?
Abdominal imaging with right-sided spleen and left-sided liver noted
In situs inversus, that is, the organs being on the opposite side, individuals usually There are no medical symptoms or complications. In fact, this situation was not noticed until the development of modern medicine.
Since there may be risky situations when the internal organs are reversed and the heart is normal, people He may need surgery. Patients whose organ location is unclear are more likely to encounter medical problems than SIT patients.
What Do Our Internal Organs Actually Look Like? (Let’s Get to Know Those Closest to Us)
How does the location of organs change?
Situs inversus is inherited through autosomal recessive inheritance
Although the cause of this situation is not fully known, mutations in the nodal and PITX2 genes, which play an active role in the developmental process, are also responsible for determining the right-left asymmetry during development. multiple gene mutations is associated with. Primary ciliary dyskinesia Some disorders such as are also linked to this disease.
While our body is symmetrical from the outside, why are the location and shape of our internal organs not symmetrical?
Displacement of organs was first described by Aristotle.
Mirror image positioning of the heart and lungs
This anomaly situation was first discovered by Aristotle, identified in animals. It was first observed in humans in the 17th century. The first known case of reversal of the spleen and liver dates back to the year 1600. The first case of heart reversal was reported in 1643.
There are some difficulties in the diagnosis and treatment of situs inversus totalis.
Diagnosis may be difficult in patients’ emergency situations. Therefore, the patient must be aware of his/her situation and this must be recorded. Otherwise, in addition to the blockage of the heart vessels, some serious situations may occur.
Some patients believe that this disorder does not pose a problem in emergency situations and require correct intervention. tattoo on their body It looks like he had it done.
Frequency of situs inversus 1 in 10 thousand and is more common in men. Its rarity; It also causes difficulties for some doctors such as radiologists, gastroenterologists and surgeons. Doctors about patients He doesn’t have much experience. Even the busiest surgeon may encounter this anomaly once or twice.
Most The surgeon is right-handed, It is among the situations that make SIT surgeries challenging. Therefore, the surgical team needs more flexibility and creativity.
There are also cases that occur in different ways.
Some cases were also reported in the news in Turkey. However, there are people with this disorder in the world. interesting cases There is also. What makes the situation interesting is the age at which it was learned and the situation that caused the incident.
One of the artists that everyone knows Enrique Iglesias is coming. Writer and comedian Catherine O-Hara as well as NBA player Randy Foye is among these names. In fact, this situation does not affect Randy Foye’s athletic life.

Edutech start-up Prozo.com aims to become 'Google' of education sector
Prozo.com, an aggregator and marketplace for all types of exam preparation content, has announced to secure a seed funding of Rs. 1.37 crore from a group of investors. A McKinsey & Company Director has participated in this round along with eminent personalities like – Nalin Jain, President and CEO of GE Transportation & Aviation, South Asia; Shomil Pant, Head Strategy at Wockhardt Pharmaceuticals; and few more angel investors.
The venture plans to utilise this fund for talent acquisition, marketing and mobile app development. Commenting on the same line, Ashvini Jakhar, Founder and Chief Idealist, Prozo.com said, “Smartphone penetration among our target segment (students) is very high. Hence, it is a natural next step for us to engage them through mobile application.”
Jakhar, an alumnus of ISB and McKinsey & Company, and Jerry Jose, an alumnus of KPMG, Goldman Sachs and HEC Paris is the brain behind Prozo.com. The core idea is to solve the pain points that he personally faced while preparing for some of the most competitive exams. “Students appearing in highly competitive exams such as CAT, GMAT, Medical, Engineering, etc., face a lot of challenges around selection of right resources and finding personal mentors. We are solving these pain points through Prozo,” said Jakhar.
Envisioned to be a search engine of education space, Prozo strives to provide competitive exam aspirants with the best of resources. Students can buy all kinds of resources at one place – be it books, e-learning content, coaching material or personal notes.
Prozo.com, which is owned and operated by Global Edu4Share Private Limited, claims that more than 40 leading content providers in this space such as Aakash Institute, CrackVerbal, Brilliant Tutorials, Plancess, learnpedia, Meritnation, Toppr.com etc., are already selling through Prozo’s platform. Further, more than 250 mentors from premier institutes have enrolled on their platform to help mentees succeed.
What makes Prozo.com unique in its space is its in-class advisory and counseling technique. Aspirants can seek guidance through peer-to-peer mentorship programs provided by students, who have cleared these exams very recently. In-built ratings and review mechanism and mentors-only blogs are unique ways through which students can find best resources for themselves.
Jakhar and his team are working diligently on the product and spreading awareness about it in markets big and small. The team is excited to scale up the idea so that it reaches aspiring youth.
Apart from Prozo.com, many other start-ups have been recently backed by investors in the education technology space. Last week, Delhi-based education technology firm Wincourse acquired 85 per cent stake in Mappr for an undisclosed amount. Similarly, US-based Coursera Inc secured $49.5 million in the first closing of Series C funding from New Enterprise Associates, Times Internet and others investors. Later in June, Bangalore-based Suphalaam Technologies, which owns and operates online education marketplace CAKART.in, had raised an undisclosed amount of funding.

After all of the twists, turns, mystery and drama surrounding the nation’s No. 1 recruit Najee Harris, the 5-star running back from Antioch, Calif., has finally ended his recruitment.
Harris, after telling SEC Country on Saturday at the U.S. Army All-American Bowl that he was undecided on whether or not he was going to stick with Alabama or flip to Michigan, has arrived in Tuscaloosa to enroll at the University of Alabama, according to multiple sources close to the program. Harris left the airport with Alabama quarterback commit Tua Tagovailoa, who will be his roommate in Tuscaloosa.
Several people close to Harris wanted him to flip to either Michigan or Cal, but the running back’s feeling of comfort in Tuscaloosa dating back to his commitment in April of 2015, over a late, strong push from Michigan, is what ultimately made the Crimson Tide keep the 5-star prospect committed.
One person close to Harris told SEC Country in December that even before he took an official visit to Michigan, the visit that Nick Saban and outside linebackers coach Tosh Lupoi took to see Harris, his family and coaches in Northern California was when Harris’ recruitment was locked up. However, the interest in the Wolverines was legitimate.
The 6-foot-3, 226-pound prospect now joins a crowded backfield in Tuscaloosa, which has two other 5-star running backs on the roster in Damien Harris and Bo Scarbrough. Scarbrough announced on Saturday that he will return to Alabama in 2017 instead of declaring for the NFL draft. The Tide also have two other capable running backs in Josh Jacobs and B.J. Emmons. Alabama also has a commitment from 4-star running back Brian Robinson in the Class of 2017.
So what’s Alabama getting in Harris? Quite possibly the biggest competitor in the Class of 2017.
“I think he knows that competing against the best in practice every day will make him that much better,” his trainer Marcus Malu told SEC Country. “He’s never a kid that wants to take the easy way out. I asked him before the season started, I said, ‘Dude, what are you going to do? Are you going to coast or are you going to ball?’ He said, ‘I’m going to ball.’ The kid has rushed for over 2,000 yards three straight years with nine in the box.”
Harris is the sixth 5-star RB at Alabama since 2009, tying Oklahoma for the most in the past 15 years.
