Broadly, our lab investigates the causes and consequences of variation in the social environment from the molecular to the organismal levels. Our work involves two complementary study systems, which allow us to probe questions central to human health, aging, and evolutionary biology.
Studies of social environmental effects can be difficult to interpret due to the complexity of the human social environment and the inability, due to ethical concerns, to perform experimental manipulations. This has led many researchers to turn to our close genetic relatives, nonhuman primates. Rhesus macaques (Macaca mulatta) are a particularly important model for human social behavior, health, and aging because they exhibit strikingly similar age-related changes in physiological, cognitive, and immune function, but compacted into a lifespan that is 3-4 times shorter. As in humans, the social environment has also been linked to mortality in some nonhuman primates, including close relatives of macaques.
Genomic consequences of the social environment and resilience during aging.
More socially integrated individuals are healthier and live longer than less integrated individuals, and this association is the strongest in the oldest individuals in a population. To identify the molecular underpinnings of this link, we draw behavioral and genomic data from both captive and free-ranging rhesus macaques. We merge cutting-edge functional genomic analyses with behavioral observation methods to study how behavioral variation might insulate individuals from the detrimental effects of social stress on health.
This research has implications for understanding how social stress recapitulates, or even accelerates, the changes seen during normal aging. More broadly, identifying the molecular phenotypes on which natural selection acts will lead to a better understanding of both the evolution of affiliative social behaviors and the well-documented link between sociality and components of fitness.
If you are ever in the Ethiopia, you might find yourself surrounded by thousands of some of the most unique primates on the planet – gelada monkeys. These monkeys are often erroneously called ‘bleeding heart baboons’. Not because they don’t have blazingly red chests (they do!), but because geladas are not actually baboons – just close relatives that diverged ~3-5 million years ago. Historically, monkeys from the geladas’ genus, Theropithecus, ranged across East Africa. Now, it’s just the gelada monkey, Theropithecus gelada, found only in the highlands of Ethiopia — one of our two primary study species.
The immunogenomic consequences of sociality
As part of the Simien Mountains Gelada Research Project, we study how the highly social lives of geladas influences their health, reproduction, and survival. To do so, we draw on over a decade of demographic and behavioral data and combine it with genomic analyses. Here, we can take findings from captive populations and extend them to the field to see how social integration may buffer individuals against more naturalistic stressors in the wild.
High altitude adaptation
One of the primary reasons that geladas endured – unlike their extinct Theropithecus relatives – is due to a panoply of unique adaptations to their resource-scarce, high altitude environment. In the thin air of the gelada’s habitat (≥ 3,000m above sea level), there is a dearth of nutrient rich foods. So the geladas depend almost entirely on the grasses that fill the plateaus – much like a cow. Graminivory is just one of the many gelada adaptations to their high-altitude environment. Others include their ability to thrive so high above sea level. Have geladas converged on similar high altitude adaptions that are also found in the genomes of people living in the Andes or Himalayas? Or has selection led to unique changes specific only to the gelada?
In this line of work we aim to identify signatures of high altitude adaptation in the gelada monkey genome. To do so, we need to sequence the genomes of dozens of geladas from multiple populations, which will require sequencing gelada genomes from non-invasively collected samples. Here, we will draw on techniques that we developed in collaboration with Jenny Tung and Xiang Zhou that allow us to generate genome-scale genetic information from low-quality, non-invasively collected samples as well as the computational tools necessary to analyze such data.

Dah (also known as Dha) and Hanu are two villages of the Brokpa of the Leh District of the Indian union territory of Ladakh. Until recently, these were the only two villages where tourists were allowed to visit out of a number of Brokpa villages.
|Time zone||UTC+5:30 (IST)|
The Dard people of Dah Hanu are nominally Buddhist but also worship their own animist pantheon of gods. They converted to Buddhism in the mid-nineteenth century. They have an Indo-European appearance in contrast to the predominant Tibeto-Mongol inhabitants of most of Ladakh.
Dha and Hanu are two villages situated in the Dhahanu valley, about 163 km northwest of Leh in Ladakh. Being at a lower altitude, Dha and Hanu is warmer than Leh, allowing for the cultivation of wine-grapes and cherries as well as apricots and walnuts.

I can honestly say I was the most laid back bride ever...but clearly too much so. We had a great experience with the staff as a whole and our rehearsal dinner cookout was fun and well organized along with the bonfire after. The day of my wedding was a disaster and dealing with the not so helpful Larry who repeatedly told me "I've been doing this for 30 years so don't worry" was a train wreck. I cannot begin to list all the things that went wrong at the fault of Larry and the venue but I clearly should not have been so trusting..and to top off my series of unfortunate events Larry proceeds to ask for the rest of our money right before we were going in to be announced to our guests in the middle of my wedding, after being MIA for everything we needed before that. Very unprofessional. I know this sounds like a rant but I was hoping for so much for from the event coordination at Steele Hill on my most important day and it has taken me this long to be able to find the words to share my disappointment. So please, please...find somewhere else to enjoy your special day!

In CS6 you can simply use the Create Shapes from Vector Layer function in the Layer menu. Otherwise you will have to use copy&paste to insert individual vector paths from AI as masks or shape layer paths. In either case you will lose some stuff - there's simply no way to retain AI specific features fully editable in AE. Therfore you might wanan reconsider your approach and import the artwork as a flat layer, then animating it with deformation effects like the Puppet Tool, Liquify or Mesh Warp.
Make sure that all your elements are on separate layers in Illustrator. Import as a composition retaining layer size then use tools like Puppet Pin or effects like Mesh Warp to distort the boundaries of the layer so thy stretch up and down like rubber.
Animating the actual vector path can be done using the techniques Mylenium suggested but it would be far more difficult and time consuming and you'll loose things like gradient fills and Illustrator effects. As long as you have continuous rasterization turned on you can stretch and bounce one or all of your Illustrator layers to your hearts' content without any worries about pixelization.
Take a alook at this tutorial by Angie Taylor. It shows how she uses Puppet Pin to make bottles dance.
Angie's great! Love her work.... lots of fun....

What Samothraki needs…
(Late July 2015)
Samothraki is “on the edge”….On the edge of the NW Aegean, the edge of Greece, the edge of change. It feels good to be between the Greece of yesterday and the present. Many things on Samothraki still bring to mind Greek “island-worlds” of the early ‘80s: few roads on the mountains, wild unbuilt coasts, real shepherd communities, a strong local dialect and living ethnography, relaxed island situations, hippies…Yet present-day Greece has affected Samothraki a lot and continues to affect it.
As nature conservationists we often think about what a place “needs”...especially in such times of change. How to help it? How to save it! What to propose as important steps towards its well-being? An island-world such as Samothraki is suitable for such study, such thoughts and proposals.
I have some thoughts from a week’s stay during late July this year; but they are totally raw and unintegrated. I share them here.
1) The overgrazing problem. With respect to over-grazing, yes there is an overgrazing problem here (contra the case of “widespread abandonment” everywhere else in Greece with several outstanding local exceptions). The island is said to hold a gigantic number of sheep and goats (estimated by researchers at approx. 70 000 head). Although this is an incredible number, even if it is smaller, the effects are noticeable everywhere: nearly no tree regeneration anywhere on the island for at least three decades. So, although – total abandonment from grazing is now a “problem” in the rest of Southern Europe it’s not a problem on Samothraki... The lack of regeneration leads to deforestation after fires (a typical “vegetation degeneration” process commonplace in Greece about 50 years ago). To change this we need to really treat the issue of EU subsidies and agricultural policy…and also replant some trees (especially oaks). Oaks are suffering both from goats and over-cutting. This issue is also a social problem, the shepherd communities are sensitive; it’s practically their mountain – this issue needs study, strategy and adaptive management.
2) Deforestation. A lot of hap-hazard logging takes place and is unaccounted, unregulated or enforced by anybody. Life on Samothraki is totally lax in terms of any kind of biodiversity conservation enforcement. The Greek state seems to be absent. Due to the “crisis” the enforcement is more lax I think. So, you can make money by cutting trees – many hundreds of stately deciduous oaks, holm oaks, kermes oaks, terabinths, spiny pears, and planes… each year! Logging of this kind is crippling the landscape elements that make Samothraki so rich – each ancient tree is an ecosystem. Deforestation is a serious threat- Samothraki could look more “Cycladic” in the decades to come; the landscape may become more homogenized, simpler, poorer.
3) Marine ecosystems. The situation at sea is no better. Overfishing has certainly ravaged the steep slopes beneath the shores. No control (trawling near shore; spear-fishing is rampant; even dynamite is still used). My colleagues and I snorkel and see nearly no large fish. This is the Northern Aegean, not any open shallow oligotrophic Levantine backwater….here are some of the most productive waters in the Eastern Med basin…what else can explain this total stillness in the sea. It’s a disgrace. Do something about it? (A tragedy of the commons….Lets keep it quiet…no one will hear…).
4) Protecting terrestrial habitats. I mean to remark on “really special and scarce habitats”; these are habitats and landscape units that make this island especially distinct and remarkable as a conservation hotspot. They are rare, scarce or particularly well represented here, compared to other Greek islands. Also these include places at the nexus of human-nature – cities, ports, beaches. Some comments:
A) Coastal wetlands. What is their state of being? Is there any enforcement of legal protection enforced anywhere? Any special zoning or interest by the state (at all levels of government)? You guess the answer.
B) Riparian forests. And the unique Platanus shoreline forests of the north coast. Any true protection? (Two of the best sites have been turned in to camping sites with little reference to their management as forest lands). Are these woods – forests and savannas demarcated and delineated as protected areas. Of course not.
C) Dunes and beach landscapes. Aren’t they important for the “tourist image”? ...and the conservation of something extremely attractive for a few months of the year? How are they treated? (These are extremely sensitive landscape features and threatened).
D) Especially Scenic Landscapes: there are some especially scenic landscape areas. Are they identified and protected? Look at Pachia Amos: is this area a protected landscape? (...one of the most scenic spots in Greece) What of the small wetland complex immediately west of Kamariotissa (Agios Andreas) – should this area be turned into an industrial park? (Wind Farm? Cost-benefits?).
E) Modern urban, peri-urban architecture. With the notable exception of Chora what is happening elsewhere? (Answer: Incremental change and unplanned building – and thanks to the economic crisis a momentary halt…). Already a few too many buildings such as hotels etc. are too close to the Palaiopolis landscape (the Island's major archaeological site). Scattered buildings are localized by other Greek island standards. Sadly the main port is typically ugly and modern looking. Greeks have good term for this “kakogoustia” (bad-taste). [However, an ugly port town - a gateway - can keep tourist masses away...]
5) Surface water management. Water is usually “not an issue” since Samothraki is rich in waters! (Same situation in Southern Euboea…rich until mismanagement creates a crisis!). But this kind of criminal negligence of water management does finally have serious land-use and conservation consequences. Water is usually “stolen” from the state-run bore-holes (lax attitudes have prevailed here too). The mayor told us 14 of these have now become “regulated” and a fee is finally being levied! However, water is pumped directly from rivers each summer and weirs help it go out to fields (also in PVC pipelines). What are the results: Some streams stop running to the sea during summer (artificially intermittent degraded states; Eels for example are now rare in the streams, perhaps this is one reason for their decline…). Second, this water stress affects the precious and fragile small wetland environments. Lastly there is some locally increased pollution since sewage and other effluent enters rivers with unnaturally low water flow creating localized pollution perhaps augmented by low self-cleansing situations due to the low or no flow conditions. This shouldn’t be happening on Samothraki. Finally, due to the wastefulness of attitudes and disorganized state of water dealings, there is a feeling of “water stress”. A new irrigation reservoir is being built and it will take waters from the Ksiropotamos River – locals are in disarray and unable to fathom the impact. Perhaps impacts will be small-scale and localized but what is the feasibility of this? (It’s not clear to me even though I did read the EIS….).
6) Tourism as an incentive to protect nature? Do we really need a tourism strategy? (Some may say that the absolutely Ad Hoc is just great thank you very much!). Is there any interest in really expanding the tourism season? Or in bringing special tourism that focuses on nature, culture, archeology, events, science, and education. Sure, some tourist happenings are taking place (some medical conferences etc.) but I feel much much more can be done if selected stakeholders, experts, planners and protected area experts sit down and dwell seriously on a tourism strategy. I feel a kind of lax just-floating-by attitude pervades tourism development here. For example, the island has some amazing trails and trekking opportunities, these are poorly developed. These AMAZING wilderness trails rival Greece’s best (e.g. NW Samos and SW Crete…that caliber). Why doesn’t the government and conservation movement “capitalize” on this? Could this be a sustainable incentive for protected area development? What about environmental education – Samothraki seems like a great destination – the “edge” location is an advantage here…Samothraki could invite schools, teams, academic groups etc. from Eastern and Central Europe and Turkey. Samothraki is a breath’s way away from Thessaloniki, Istanbul, Edirne, Bucharest, Sofia.
7) A Protected Area? The island is a Natura 2000 site. On paper. What can be done? I will begin by saying that the regional government (and municipal government should take a stand – and fast before it’s too late…). They should both work to promote the best possible plans for a protected area and promote the completion of a special environmental study (and management plan) needed by Greek state law to have a functioning de facto protected area. This is a priority for the island for the following reasons: a) It will bring money and a new kind of “energy” to the island and its incentives since it is immediately connected to EU structural funds, smart developments, agricultural reforms, the overgrazing issue etc. …all seen as priorities by EU bureaucratic approaches. b) If drafted with care and negotiation it will help legislate the protection of some important landscapes, special habitat types, scenic areas etc, etc. (However, for some aspects such as grazing, fishing, water management some special studies are also needed). We have proposed Samothraki National Park with a peripheral eco-development area and zoning to protect both special places and special ecosystems yet allow for sustainable development, agriculture etc. The protected area is large enough, with unmatched wilderness-values, spectacularly scenic qualities, varied cultural landscapes, world-class archeology, and biodiversity richness both on land and sea. The flora, fauna, woods and many special habitats are enough to make this area eligible for this kind of status. A lower key park designation (Nature park etc would also be fine but the area does have a distinctiveness and grandeur to be of National Park status – and this kind of recognition and distinction may help the island propel itself forward as a proper protected area of international dimension with special management initiatives backed by national and regional governments). The National Park idea is akin to the MAB reserve idea. Both are complementary, they lend distinction and are based on special zoning, and world-class promotion for conservation.
8) A research and education laboratory. Research on an island is of “local interest”. The locale should gain from this. Samothraki is attractive as a long-term research area (as were other Greek islands back in the ‘60s and ’70s.. i.e. for foreign university groups, mostly on archaeological, ethnographic surveys and such endeavors). And since several researchers already have fallen in love Samothraki, we have a responsibility to contribute towards policy-relevant “useful” science that aims directly at helping conservation and sustainability. Of course, this is not easy, research is easy. But research must help policy, must assist resource management and planning- and it can. So this is the reason I think it’s really important to focus on local research here. And it can be a good example for more such “useful” research in other islands as well.
In summary, I want to stress that I do not feel the major problem on Samothraki is overgrazing – and I have had similar experiences with this in Crete, Evia and Skyros (etc.). The problem has a multivariate nature and is deeper. Rapid agro-pastoral changes are accompanied or driven by imminent cultural changes – a roller-coaster of change and uncertainty. Can we control this; should we? A really chaotic system –especially in times of economic and other crises. The main issue for me is the lack of a strategic design for conservation and development within a protected-area framework. So, I urge we keep our minds open and dwell in deeper inter-disciplinary approaches with as much local involvement as possible.
My fresh musings may need refinement. I may have misinterpreted things- I am still working on these ideas with friends and family. I thank my science friends on Samothraki for their contributions: Nikos (HCMR research leader), Marina, Jurgen & Panos (from Austria), Anastasia, Natalia and Vassiliki. I wish us back in Samothraki soon!
I share some snapsshots from this year’s field working in our Samothraki Nature Observatory work.

Tom Cruise is famous for doing death-defying stunts on his own, as we saw from his vertigo-inducing 'off the cliff' scene in "M:I7".
The exhilarating trailer for Mission: Impossible – Dead Reckoning Part One had fans buzzing with excitement as they witnessed Tom Cruise’s breathtaking stunts. However, amidst the thrill, a section of Netizens noticed similarities between some shots in the trailer and Shah Rukh Khan’s upcoming film, Pathaan. Particularly, the train-set sequences drew comparisons between the two movies, leading to online discussions and contrasting opinions.
Twitter users shared screenshots from both films, highlighting the resemblances they observed. Instances like Tom Cruise hanging off a cliff and the train crash scene triggered memories of Pathaan for fans. One user pointed out the irony, saying, “Few days ago, I saw the whole Twitter making fun of #Pathaan train scene just because it accidentally has a similarity with Jackie Chan cartoon. But now that #MissionImpossible also has similar action scenes, nobody will say anything.” Another user shared screenshots of matching scenes and humorously noted, “Bollywood should be proud.”
A user highlighted the comparable shots but received contrasting responses. One user argued, “Train falling off a bridge with people on top was not invented by Tom Cruise or SRK… it’s been an old stunt or action sequence… that’s like saying, ‘Oh, these two songs have the same scale.'” Another user chimed in, stating, “I am sorry, what?! I thought Pathaan was an Indian copy of all Mission Impossible films? The entire train sequence is a scene-to-scene remake of a Jackie Chan animation.”


Ofcom refuses to bend to telco challenges and forges ahead with 5G auction
- Regulator to publish 2.3GHz and 3.4GHz spectrum auction rules next week
- UK operator Three is appealing a High Court decision in February
- Ofcom will publish names of qualified bidders in mid-February
- So much for fast-tracked 5G in post-Brexit Britain
The path to 5G isn’t as smooth and straight as many in the UK would have hoped. Instead, it appears to be following the overgrown, meandering and obstacle-strewn route towards Brexit. Despite the usual big-talking rhetoric from politicians about how the UK will be a 5G centre of excellence (this part is doing rather well) and how 5G deployments will supercharge the national economy (er, not so obvious), getting set for 5G is no simple matter.
As regulator Ofcom is finding out, who would have thought that the very people obstructing progress were the mobile operators themselves? The situation is – typically for the closing years of this decade – barmy.
First, the good news. Ofcom has this week published an update on the timetable for setting the regulations that will apply to the forthcoming auction of spectrum in the 2.3GHz and 3.4GHz frequency bands. Whilst the former can be used with today’s technology, the latter will need to wait for the arrival of 5G-specified equipment and devices.
The spectrum auction should have taken place last year, as part of the UK’s hoped for aggressive push towards 5G, but it was delayed by legal challenges from BT/EE and Three. Why? Because Ofcom decided that it would impose an overall spectrum cap of 340MHz per operator post-auction (with a cap of 255MHz on the amount of mobile spectrum that was immediately useable).
BT/EE was the operator most affected by this, as it already holds about 42 per cent of all available spectrum. Ofcom’s proposed cap amounted to a limit of 37 per cent, which BT/EE said was a far too rigid an approach and represented a major departure for the principle of an unconstrained auction. Meanwhile, Three (Hutchison H3G) argued that the Ofcom proposals were too generous towards BT/EE, and that the 37 per cent cap should be lowered to 30 per cent.
The legal system decided to fast-track this litigation process (favouritism for the few, and no doubt compensatory cash bonuses for the lawyers) and a High Court hearing was held in December, when both claims were dismissed by Mr Justice Green and Ofcom’s decision upheld. Whilst BT/EE accepted the ruling, Three decided to appeal. Cue yet another expedited legal process, with a hearing at the Court of Appeal set for 13 February this year.
Rather than wait for all legal action to run its course, and then start planning, Ofcom believes it is in the public interest for the auction to take place as soon as possible. It blames Three for delaying access to this new spectrum and the resulting benefits to consumers and businesses that can flow from it. Ofcom has decided it needs to move as quickly as possible to hold the auction once the judgment of the Court of Appeal has been given. It has therefore decided to proceed to make the auction regulations for this spectrum award process on Wednesday 24 January, ahead of the court date.
These regulations will come into force a week later on Wednesday 31 January. On the same day it will also publish guidance for potential bidders on how to take part in the auction. Once these regulations are in force, Ofcom will confirm the date for when it will be accepting applications, which it estimates will be around 7 February. It will then start the process of qualifying or rejecting applicants for the auction – although it will delay the formal announcement of qualifying bidders until after the Court of Appeal’s decision is announced.
What a mess, but good on Ofcom for pressing ahead. However, we still have the prospect of the future mmWave spectrum auction bringing a fresh round of legal challenges. Who would be a regulator?

So far I never had the pleasure to sail around Mallorca, but every time I’m there one thought comes to my head: Next time for sure!
And so this thought came again during our last visit there, when Daria and me discovered the island a bit on bicycles. Numerous sailing boats went up and down in the turquoise water in front of the rocky coastline and invited to daydream a bit more.

As we all know, Tessanne took some time off from the performance circuit to get married and have a baby and spend some quality time with the family. Life happens. Now we sense that, at age 30-nuff, her creative juices are flowing once again, setting her on a path to returning to fine form. In addition to the Digicel Unplugged show, Tessanne also lit up the stage at the Sagicor 50th anniversary concert and recently contributed her star power and superb vocal dynamics to the buzzworthy all-star remix of Kevin Downswell’s seminal hit “Stronger” (alongside Beenie Man, Chris Martin, Bounty Killer, producer DJ Bambino, and others).
What does the near future hold for Tessanne Chin and her fans, we’ll have to wait and see. But I guarantee we’ll be pleasantly surprised by what she has her in store.
>> Can Jamaican theatre make a solid return to the entertainment scene? What an epic struggle that will be. But, thankfully, companies like Jambiz are ready to fight the good fight. After being forced to close down their beloved New Kingston-based playhouse, Patrick Brown, Lenford Salmon, Trevor Nairne and the team are taking things slowly as they look to reconnect with patrons, starting with this Emancipendence weekend’s remount of The Windscream Posse. Do support.
>> The local arts community has lost a genuine talent with the passing of Clive Duncan. The TV (Lime Tree Lane, Royal Palm Estate) and stage (The Love List) actor lost his battle with cancer. He was in his late 50s. Remembering his late colleague Christopher Daley (who played Johnny on Lime Tree Lane, opposite Duncan’s Constable Drapus Upton) saluted Duncan’s talents as a thespian. “He was a pretty underrated actor,” said Daley in an interview with the Observer. “If you had the opportunity to see him on stage, what you got was 100 percent every time.”

Al Jazeera’s AI robot Kashef has crunched the numbers and has made his prediction for today’s quarter-final match.
Published On 10 Dec 2022
Croatia’s dazzling quarter-final win over Brazil not only stunned the footballing world, but it also flummoxed Kashef, Al Jazeera’s AI predictor — only for a moment though.
Our robot correctly predicted Argentina’s climactic victory over the Dutch on Friday, the second quarter-final match of the Qatar 2022 World Cup.
Kashef stands behind Portugal
Kahsef is predicting that Morocco’s fairytale World Cup run, which has ignited a wave of support across Africa and the Arab world, will unfortunately end today by a sizable margin.
Kashef heavily favours Portugal, giving the team a 66 percent chance of dashing the Atlas Lions’ hopes of becoming the first-ever Arab and African team to make it to the World Cup semi-finals.
Kashef has compiled more than 200 metrics, including the number of wins, goals scored, FIFA rankings and more, from matches played over the past century, to reach this conclusion.
Cristiano Ronaldo’s presence — or absence — on the field could make all the difference in Saturday’s outcome. But it is unclear whether the Portuguese captain will start against Morocco after he was benched in the last-16 match against Switzerland.
Portugal and Morocco have faced off only twice before, with the North African team edging Portugal 3-1 in 1986, before Portugal levelled the field with a 1-0 win in 2018.
Who is going to win the World Cup?
After 58 matches at World Cup 2022, Kashef has a 67 percent accuracy rate. He correctly predicted seven of the eight round-of-16 matches after momentarily faltering in the upset-filled group stage.
After every match, Kashef reruns the model to predict the outcome of the next game all the way through to the final.
Predicting match results is no easy task – external factors like team morale or player fitness make a big difference in how the game goes.

UNC School of Medicine researchers Angela Wahl, PhD, Balfour Sartor MD, J. Victor Garcia, PhD, and colleagues created a germ-free mouse model to evaluate the role of the microbiome in the infection, replication, and pathogenesis of HIV and Epstein-Barr virus, the virus that can cause mononucleosis and other serious diseases.
Recent research has shown that the bacteria and other microbes in our gut play a supporting role in immunity, metabolism, digestion, and the fight against “bad bacteria” that try to invade our bodies.
However, new research published in Nature Biotechnology by Angela Wahl, PhD, Balfour Sartor, MD, J. Victor Garcia, PhD, and UNC School of Medicine colleagues, has revealed that the microbiome may not always be protective against human pathogens.
Using a first-of-its-kind precision animal model with no microbiome (germ-free), researchers have shown that the microbiome has a significant impact on the acquisition of Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) and human immunodeficiency virus-1 (HIV) infection and plays a role in the course of disease.
“These findings offer the first direct evidence that resident microbiota can have a significant impact on the establishment and pathology of infection by two different human-specific pathogens,” said Wahl, assistant professor in the Division of Infectious Diseases in the UNC Department of Medicine.

Nuclear waste is going nowhere, and neither is the debate over its disposal. The problem, growing every day, has proven intractable, with policymakers on one side, armed with daunting technical data, and the public on the other, declaring: not in my backyard. This timely volume offers a look past our present impasse into the nature and roots of public viewpoints on nuclear waste disposal.
A much-needed supplement to the largely technical literature on this problem, the book provides extensive studies of the reaction of citizens--whether rural or urban, near-site residents or prospective visitors--to proposed nuclear waste sites around the nation, particularly Nevada's Yucca Mountain. Conducted by distinguished sociologists, psychologists, political scientists, and economists, these studies constitute the most comprehensive account available of the impact of public perceptions and opinions on the nuclear waste policy process in the United States. As such, the collection will clarify the politics of nuclear waste siting and will give impetus to the stalled debate over the issue.

Start 'Em & Sit 'Em is the ultimate weekly look at NFL matchups and how they'll affect your fantasy football team. Fantasy superstars such as Patrick Mahomes and Christian McCaffrey will not be featured in this column. All player matchups are based on a PPR scoring system. For your final starting lineup decisions, check my weekly fantasy football lineup rankings.
Start of the Week
Minnesota's defense put up a stinker in last week's win over Dallas, but it's a strong play based on an upcoming home matchup against Brandon Allen and the Broncos. Their offense has averaged the fifth-fewest points in the NFL and allowed 19 sacks this season.
The Rams defense has scored 19 or more points in two of its last three games, and this week's matchup against the Bears and Mitchell Trubisky will make them a solid option once again. This could end up being a defensive struggle, so start the Rams in this contest.
The defensive matchups continue to be positive for opponents of the Dolphins, which makes the Bills one of the week's best options. The last time these two teams met (Week 7), Buffalo had 11 fantasy points. This Bills unit should be a top-10 fantasy option once again.
The Jets defense is coming off a 19-point performance in a win over the Giants, and this week's matchup against rookie Dwayne Haskins makes it streamable once again. In fact, defenses have averaged the fifth-most fantasy points against the Redskins this season.
Sit of the Week
The Texans defense scored an impressive 19 fantasy points in the game before a bye week, but I wouldn't chase that production in Week 11. That's due to a bad matchup in Baltimore, as defenses facing Lamar Jackson and the Ravens have averaged 3.2 fantasy points.
Denver's defense has scored a combined 11 fantasy points over its last three games, and a matchup in Minnesota doesn't bode well for a change in that trend. Opposing defenses have averaged one takeaway, 1.7 sacks and the third-fewest points versus the Vikings.
Philadelphia's defense has struggled to score fantasy points, and that won't change when the Patriots come to town. New England has allowed an average of fewer two sacks and committed just 10 turnovers this season, so the Eagles are a hard fade this week.
The Falcons defense (shockingly) had 10 fantasy points versus the Saints last week, but that shouldn't be an indication to stream Tampa Bay. Overall the position has averaged fewer than five fantasy points per game against Drew Brees and his offense this season.

27 September 2017:Offers like white free gold coins and white goods as free gifts by developers this festive season is already attracting the customers but it is the GST waiver that has caught the fancy of real estate developers during this Navratri. Most of the developers in Delhi NCR are luring buyers by offering 12 percent discount by agreeing to absorb the GST. Supertech Limited is giving assured gifts on every new booking. Customers can avail a GST waiver for any ongoing and ready to move in flats across 50 locations. Sikka Group is also offering a GST waiver and a fully furnished flat for its project Sikka Kimaantra Greens, Sikka Kaamna Greens and Sikka Karnam Greens. Gaurs Group is also offering a 100 percent GST benefit for under-construction units besides the usual free maintenance for a year, free car parking, free club membership. However, GST can only be offered for under construction and buyers should not fall for any offer for ready properties. “Builders offering to bear GST (of an under-construction property) is an interesting marketing tactic. The builder is anyway going to receive input set-offs on this GST so the actual discount would be minuscule. It would be interesting to see if developers are, in addition to bearing the GST, also willing to convey the GST input set-offs to buyers. That would be a real discount,” says Ankur Srivastava of GenReal Advisers. Further, Home loan interest rates are at their lowest in the last 10 years, and will remain in that territory owing to the generous liquidity prevalent in the market post demonetisation has put home buyers in a sweet spot.

The company will go with will meet its obligations but it required more time. Punjab National Bank and Central Bank have classified Videocon as bad and the SBI might do it when they announce the results on August 11. A forensic report will give a clear idea of the liquidity position of the company.
12 August 2017:Housing finance companies are likely to face some tough competition in the mid-to-large ticket housing segment of above Rs 30 lakh. According to the India Ratings and Research agency (Ind-Ra) HFCs may find it challenging to expand their portfolio in the large ticket housing segment. "HFCs will face a margin contraction in this segment, limiting the spreads to absorb all the costs, while trying to generate reasonable returns," Ind-Ra said in a report. "This space is characterised by limited competition from banks and hence offers reasonable risk adjusted returns," it said. Ind-Ra estimates just about one-fifth of the total HFCs’ portfolio accounts for ticket size higher than Rs 50 lakh.
13 September 2017:Indian Banks will need about USD 65 billion in additional capital, lower than estimated earlier, to meet the Basel III capital sufficiency rule by March 2019 and push loan growth, Fitch Ratings said today. Weak capital positions have a major negative effect on the bank's capability ratings which will come under more pressure if the problem is not addressed, it added. State-owned banks which account for 95 percent of the estimated shortage have limited options to increase the capital they still require, it said."Prospects for internal capital generation are weak and low investor confidence impedes access to the equity capital market," Fitch said, adding that they are likely to be dependent on the state to meet core capital requirements. The government is committed to investing only another USD 3 billion in fresh justice for 21 public sector banks (PSBs) over the current and the next financial, having already provided most of the originally budgeted USD 11 billion."Fitch believes the government will have to pump in more than double, even on a bare minimum basis, if it is to raise loan growth, address weak provision cover, and aid in effective NPL resolution," it said. The gross non-performing loan (NPL) ratio reached 9.7 percent in 2016-17, up from 7.8 percent in 2015-16.Additionally, "State banks are unlikely to be freed from their current gridlock unless NPL resolution is accompanied by additional capital," Fitch said.
30 October 2017:Online platform for financing micro, small & medium enterprises which was backed by Axis bank has clocked Rs 100 cr worth of invoices within first 100 days of operations. Invoicemart, a digital invoice discounting TReDS (Trade Receivable Discounting System) platform, was launched in July by A.TREDS, a joint venture of Axis Bank and B2B e-commerce company junction services. "The platform's maiden transaction was completed on July 10, 2017, and over the past 100 days, over 3,000 invoices worth more than Rs 100 crore have been discounted and settled on it. Significantly, it has on-boarded over 100 MSMEs since its launch," A.TREDS said in a statement today. TReDS was launched by RBI with an aim to increase the availability of funds for MSMEs. "The total PSU procurement from micro and small enterprises in 2013-14 was over Rs 12,000 crore or 15 percent of the total procurement. The Public Procurement Policy states that 20 percent of all procurement by PSUs is to be made from MSEs," A.TREDS managing director and CEO Kalyan Basu said. On October 24, the government made it mandatory for all major public sector units to register on TReDS within 90 days of the announcement. This is expected to give a major boost to the MSME sector with transparent price discovery mechanism and an additional avenue for getting their receivables funded.
12 December 2017:The WGC report states that gold loans offered by institutional players will continue to hold a substantial market share in India, given the government’s policy efforts to nudge consumers towards the formal sector. Currently, that sector accounts for only 25 per cent of the gold loan market; within that segment, one half is accounted for by banks, while the two NBFCs—Muthoot and Manappuram—account for much of the other half, experts reckon. A recent report by rating agency Crisil stated that the profitability of large gold loan financiers surged back to the peak levels seen before the regulatory tightening, which started in 2012. Krishnan Sitaraman, Senior Director, CRISIL Ratings, said, “Periodic interest collection has ensured the loan-to-value ratio remains intact and gold price declines do not result in interest loss, which was a key reason for reduced profitability in the preceding few years. It also reduces the chances of delinquency as the borrower’s equity in the pledged gold does not fall.”
23 September 2017:While higher recapitalization for PSU banks is still in talks, the government is also not dropping ball on an issue like consolidation in the banking space. Vijaya Bank and Dena bank are discussing the synergies and pros and cons related to it. The alliance would be based on geographical outreach of both the banks. The board of both Vijaya bank and Dena bank are looking at each other’s balance sheet and discussing future liabilities. Vijaya Bank reported 57% jump in Q1 profits to 255 crore rupees while Dena bank narrowed losses to 133 crore rupees and rose to 17.37% as of June 2017. Dean bank is currently looking at improving profitability. Thus, capital requirement post-merger will increase in light of Dena Bank’s high NPA. If blessed by the govt, merger could be completed by end of this fiscal
02 November 2017:State-owned Syndicate Bank today reported 27.68 percent jump in its July-September quarter profit to Rs 105.24 crore on annual basis, notwithstanding rising in bad loans. The bank has reportedly posted a profit of Rs 82.42 crore in the same quarter of the previous fiscal year. The total was income was Rs 6,419.21 in the second quarter of the fiscal. However, the bank reported a deterioration as its gross NPA increased. The net NPA too increased to 5.76 percent. Referring to the RBI advised initiation of insolvency resolution process in respect of 12 accounts under the provisions of Insolvency and Bankruptcy Code, Syndicate Bank said it has made pro rata provisions of Rs 172.60 crore during the current quarter.

Curt Schilling rips Twitter bullies and Dennis Malloy is a fan – watch
Dennis is applauding former MLB pitcher Curt Schilling today after Schilling decided to make an example of some cowards on Twitter who said some vile and disgusting things about Schilling's daughter.
In this episode of "Just One More Thing" Dennis cheers on Schilling for making Internet trolls responsible for their offensive comments about Schilling's daughter.
Last week Schilling congratulated his daughter on Twitter for being accepted into Salve Regina University., where she'll be playing softball. Since, multiple people have posted extremely vulgar and sexually explicit comments about her.
Many of these Internet bullies think they can say whatever they want and there's no recourse. They hide behind some screen name and think they can just say whatever they want to whoever they want. Well, Schilling stood up to these bullies and outed them so that everyone knows just how horrible these people truly are. Now those bullies have to live with the embarrassment of the awful things they said and that everyone knows what they did.
Watch Dennis' take on "Just One More Thing" in the video above.

Republicans Are About to Take Over the Senate
A Republican majority in the Senate is becoming more than a possibility. On Monday, prominent FiveThirtyEight statistician Nate Silver wrote that the political atmosphere has become increasingly favorable for Republicans, and predicted that Republicans, who currently hold 46 Senate seats, will hold 50 or 51 after the 2014 election.
In 2012, Republicans were largely focused on defending their seats. However, in 2014, they will be defending fewer seats in the Senate, leaving them free to acquire new ones. In three red states, Montana, South Dakota, and West Virginia, incumbent Democrats are retiring, leaving their positions incredibly vulnerable. Democrats have yet to find strong and willing candidates in any of the three states, and according to Silver’s predictions, Republicans have over a 75% chance of acquiring each of these seats. Democrat Senators have also retired in Iowa and Michigan, "purple states" in which Republican candidates are likely to be competitive.
Meanwhile, weak Democrats are up for election in red states, including Louisiana, North Carolina, and Arkansas, where the GOP has a 40-50% chance of winning Senate seats. Silver goes so far as to say that, due to Democratic Senator Kay Hagan’s below-par approval rating in North Carolina, “a merely decent Republican nominee could make the race very competitive.”
The Democratic Senatorial Campaign Committee’s (DSCC) favorites have declined to run in 2014, including former South Dakota Rep. Stephanie Herseth Sandlin, Ashley Judd, Georgia Rep. John Barrow, and Heather French Henry. The most recent rejection, by former Montana Governor Brian Schweitzer, has, per the Hill, “left frustrated Democrats scrambling for a replacement.” Writing about the potential for a Republican majority in the Senate, Kyle Kondik of the University of Virginia’s Center for Politics called Schweitzer's decision "the biggest development in the race for the Senate so far this cycle."
While the DSCC contends with hesitant favorites and a divided base, strong Republicans have announced their candidacies, including West Virginia Rep. Shelley Moore Capito, former South Dakota Governor Mike Rounds, Louisiana Rep. Bill Cassidy, and Colorado State Senator Owen Hill.
If President Barack Obama’s approval ratings continue to decline, it will make for an even more advantageous political climate for Republicans. The IRS scandal has already proved damaging, and the implementation of Obamacare (its key architect, Senator Max Baucus (D-Mont.) has already called it a "train wreck") may hurt his favorability as well.
Given the above, Republicans are increasingly positioned to take back the Senate. If current trends persist, Republicans will have a lot to celebrate on November 5, 2014.

The Fig House and surrounding gardens are truly stunning, and for those looking for outdoor wedding venues with beautiful gardens, this one is worth your attention.
Middleton Lodge was the most peaceful and stunning backdrop and setting for our modern, elegant, stylish shoot in early July. With the gardens in full bloom, the images demonstrate the potential an outdoor ceremony can offer in this country and the beauty of the North Yorkshire countryside.
The gardens were abundant in nature – with bumble bees and butterflies amongst various coloured plants and flowers. We ensured that our simple green and white florals would complement the existing colourful display on the beautiful grounds. The venue was peaceful, tranquil, and a little escape from the modern-day world enclosed in the ample walled gardens.
The contemporary Pronovia dresses and minimalist cake design and styling worked well with the explosion of nature in the walled gardens of Fig House. We wanted to convey a stylish set-up, combining classic features and unique details – including gold spray-painted lemons, hand-painted napkins and hand-painted artwork on the cakes. The consistency of the lemon yellow throughout provided an underlying summer tone to the shoot and a subtle pop of colour amongst the classic green and white. The gold elements helped to enhance the contemporary feel and luxurious elegance. The summer look we wanted to convey was fresh and elegant, keeping the styling modern and showing that your styling doesn’t need to be colourful and crowded to make a statement and ooze luxury.
Alongside the two very different but equally stunning Pronovias gowns (including one with a cape attachment for a seriously extra ceremony aisle shot!), Aureus Flos provided a glimmering gold headband and golden hair pieces for the two looks, which popped in model Emmie’s smooth black hair. Displaying both pieces in two different looks shows how a complete collection of hair accessories from a supplier could enhance your look from day to night if you want a transformative change between the ceremony and reception.
A gorgeous soft, loose curl was styled for one look, with a more formal and elegant up-do for the ceremony shots – formal without being typically traditional. Our make-up artist adapted to the restrictions at the time by assisting the model via a video tutorial and explaining in person, as at the time, restrictions were limiting the make-up artists’ ability to apply make-up themselves. While we hope that the current climate will allow the beauty industry to be back at work very soon, it demonstrates the fabulous adaptability shown by suppliers and the potential options for brides should the restrictions remain in place or tighten once more.
Bringing the subtle lemon theme together again, the London Victorian Ring Company provided a platinum yellow sapphire halo engagement ring with an accompanying wedding band. Set in rich green boxes, they were a perfect addition to the shoot and the elegant, summery and stylish concept.
I designed the styling from a place of wanting to do a minimalist yet statement set-up and to create something unique and original which cannot be bought or hired. I spray-painted some lemons and limes as styling features, leaving some clear and half-exposed with the golden shimmer. They added an extra pop to the tables and perfectly complemented the gorgeous green and white flowers.
I also hand-painted all of the corner details on each napkin, then with the spray-painted finish on top, to allow the leaf detail to stand out in gold on the luxurious white napkins. Luxurious crockery, glassware and cutlery hired by Whitehouse Crockery elevated the table setting, enhancing the elegant design even further. The shoot images show how clean and fresh the concept was, but on closer inspection, there are many stunning details that would suit the style-focused couple. A final contribution to the table design was the macaron favour boxes designed by the stationer Bianco Blanc Paperie, adding another dimension of cohesiveness to the styling and extra pretty detailing! She also added acrylic leaf decoration to each place, setting in the beautiful greenery of the venue and florals and the benefits of personalisation within wedding styling.
La Beau Fleurs selected the finest florals, including high-quality white roses, which smelled as stunning as they looked! Constructing a full bouquet of luscious whites and greens and topped off with a beautiful white ribbon tie, the flowers were gorgeous and perfect amidst the colourful walled garden setting and classic exposed brickwork of the Fig House interiors.
The shoot would be a fantastic inspiration for couples planning their weddings, and lots of great ideas can be taken from the concept, design and execution of the shoot. Firstly, due to the obvious Covid restrictions in place, the hair stylist (Unity Rhodes) can be pictured styling the bride’s hair with a protective visor, which will hopefully demonstrate to couples the safe practices that wedding professionals are adhering to and also shows that by following these safe guidelines it is still just as achievable to have their hair styled.
By conducting an outdoor ceremony set up and indoor dining setting, the shoot conveyed the benefits of utilising both outdoor and indoor spaces of their wedding venue and the importance of choosing a venue with gorgeous options inside and out – which Middleton Lodge certainly has!
The detailing in the stationery and design crossover with the cake shows how art within a wedding can transcend across different suppliers to create a cohesive, consistent and stunning look.
