Dr. Elliott practices in gynecologic oncology. I live in a small town in northern CA and two weeks before my scheduled hysterectomy my surgeon (not Dr. Elliott) called and canceled, having had 2nd thoughts about being able to perform the surgery. After a whirlwind week of six 2nd opinions, educating myself on every aspect of my surgery, and learning to advocate for myself, I landed an appointment in Sacramento with Dr. Elliott. He had been specifically recommended, unsolicited, by four doctors and the other two 2nd opinions lit up when I mentioned Dr. Elliott's office. That was enough to make me feel hopeful, but my recommendation comes from having met him. He was kind and personable-- the opposite of how people joke about surgeons. Moreover, he was experienced and set my mind at ease. I had my packet of research and questions to drill him on but never got there because he addressed it all first. He saw things no other doctor identified and diagnosed me correctly without my assist. He was mindful of non-medical concerns such as insurance and getting to the hospital. Lastly, the staff in the practice office is top notch. If they were annoyed by my persistent calling and anxiousness, they never let it on. Despite witnessing the impossibly full schedule and waiting room, they made me feel like I was his only patient. If you are doubtful of doctors and need to be in the hands of someone you wholehearted trust, I can't recommend Dr. Elliott enough.

Road accidents resulting in the deaths of scores of people day in and day out don’t concern people in power particularly those overseeing the working of departments whose domain is road widening, road upgradation and regulation of traffic on highways. Though unprecedented rise in road accident deaths should have worried government more than the deaths caused by carelessness of doctors in private clinics and hospitals, but government does not wake up from deep even after the killing of dozens of passengers in fatal road accidents. Even after the killing of twenty people in a fatal road accident at Ramban the government does not bother even to seek an explanation from the departments tasked the jobs of widening and upgradation of the roads in hilly areas and the working traffic regulation on highways particularly Jammu-Srinagar highway. Few years back a committee headed by CPI(M) legislator M.Y.Tarigami was constituted to look into the causes of road accidents, but there is no word from the government on actions taken by the government on the recommendations of the report tabled by committee in the assembly almost a year before the commencement of 2014 assembly elections .
The killing of twenty people in a road accident on Jammu-Srinagar highway at Ramban should wake up the government from deep slumber and it is for the transport department to trace the report of the Tarigami headed house committee from the records of the state assembly and pick up threads from this report to address the issue of road accident deaths as otherwise shadows of deaths on killer highway will continue to worry the travelers on highways.
Irony of the fact is that most of the accidents take place on highways manned by Border Roads Organisation much popularly called “BEACON” and interestingly extra vigil is required for strict regulation of traffic on highways. Two decades back when the work of the widening and upgradation of some highways other than Srinagar-Jammu highway was entrusted to Border Roads Organisation-BEACON, people expected improvement in the conditions of some roads connecting twin capitals of Jammu and Srinagar some border districts in valley. Though Border Roads Organisation-BEACON initially worked hard to improve the condition of these roads, but with the passage of time their poor showing in the widening and upgradation of roads belied the expectations of people. No authority from the state government bothers to take up the issue with top brass of the Border Roads Organisation-BEACON when most of the accidents on the roads manned by BEACON take place due to bad condition of roads and consequently dozen of people die in road mishaps day in and day out. The second factor responsible is the failure of traffic police in maintaining extra vigil on highways and irony of the fact is that highways have become killer roads both in Jammu and Kashmir divisions of the state. The deaths caused in road accidents are rising to alarming proportions day after day, but the government never bothers to pick up threads from the recommendations of Tarigami headed house committee which has laid emphasis on establishing driving schools for issuance of driving licenses to drivers and condemnation of old commercial vehicles ferrying passengers in thousands on highways daily . The killing of twenty people in a road accident on Jammu-Srinagar highway at Ramban should wake up the government from deep slumber and it is for the transport department to trace the report of the Tarigami headed house committee from the records of the state assembly and pick up threads from this report to address the issue of road accident deaths as otherwise shadows of deaths on killer highway will continue to worry the travelers on highways.

FAYETTEVILLE, Ark. (KFSM) — Local families down on their luck are getting something heartwarming this Thanksgiving.
Two food delivery services are teaming up with local restaurants to make sure residents have a feast this holiday.
Waitr and Bite Squad are working with both Sassy's Red House locations in Fayetteville to help put food on the table for local families who need it this Thanksgiving free of charge.
Crews at both Sassy's locations continue to cook dozens of turkeys and sides to make sure others won't have to go without this holiday.
“The staff is happy to do it, I have one guy that’s been back there on that smoker just smoking turkeys for like the past three or four days straight,” said Sassy's General Manager Randy Ivy.
Waitr and Bite Squad then pick up those meals and bring them right to the door of those in need, free of charge.
“Giving back to the community, to people who just have a issues with food and food shortages and unfortunately in our community that’s so real,” said Waitr driver Sam Whatley.
It's something they had to be nominated or sign up for in advance, a blessing local mom Brittaney Wilson says she is so grateful for.
Wilson says the kindness of these businesses is helping her put a warm meal on the table for her kids this Thanksgiving and for that she's grateful.
“I just moved up here from Little Rock so I don’t have any family up here so it’s just nice having someone that was thankful enough to help me and my kids around this time,” Wilson said.
A representative with Waitr Holdings says the goal this year is to deliver well over a hundred meals to families like the Wilsons this Thanksgiving season with each meal feeding a family of four.
Wilson says not only is this taking a burden off her this holiday, but it tastes great too.
“Really good, really good my kids are very happy and very grateful,” Wilson said.
Everyone involved says being a part of this Thanksgiving gift is truly something special.
“It makes it worth it all. It is special to know that a mom doesn’t have to worry about that now and neither do their children,” said Waitr driver Charlene Whatley.
To the people who made this all possible for her and her family, Wilson has this message:
“Thank you guys so much you made me and my kids very happy and have a happy Thanksgiving to you and your family, thank you so much,” Wilson said.
Share Thanksgiving benefits thousands of families across the country too. The company took nominations from local organizations to help identify families in need.
Waitr will be picking up meals from Sassy's on College Avenue this week and Bite Squad will pick up meals from the Sassy's location right off of Wedington.

WorldCom settlement unsettling
Ten former directors of WorldCom, the telecommunications company whose bankruptcy was the largest in history, have agreed to pay $US18 million ($A23.5 million) of their own money to settle a class-action lawsuit by investors who lost hundreds of millions of dollars when the company collapsed in July 2002.
The agreement, which is part of a $US54 million settlement with plaintiffs, is a remarkable concession. Directors have always relied on their companies' insurance to cover costs associated with securities cases and settlements.
As such, the settlement is a disturbing precedent for directors, whose duties to look after shareholders' interests have come under harsh scrutiny in the three years since the failure of Enron. Investors have become increasingly frustrated as company directors and officers escaped financial responsibility for losses incurred as a result of fraud.
The directors' personal payments were a requirement of any deal from the start of the negotiations, according to lawyers involved in the settlement. Given the size of the WorldCom debacle, the investors who brought the case sought to make an example of the directors, lawyers involved in the settlement said.
The amounts being paid will be different for each director, amounting to 20 per cent of the directors' aggregate net worth, not counting their primary residences and retirement accounts. The directors participating in the settlement neither admitted nor denied wrongdoing. They were WorldCom directors from 1999 to 2002.

The estate used to be part of the old ecclesiastical feudal hold of Renna dating from the 12th century, and was an old Arab rural home (Rendet gebuni), a sort of hermitage and fortified fortress dominating the sea serving as a defensive bastion against the incursions of Barbary pirates operating under the Turkish flagship their piracy activity in the Mediterranean. The Knights of the Order of San Giovanni, stationed in the nearby island of Malta, used the Convent structure in the first half of the 16th century. Recent restorations have revealed their passage through this place.
In the 18th century the Eremo was acquired by the Nifosì, a wealthy land-owner family of the plateau. The present heiress, Vincenza Jolanda Nifosì, has decided to restore it, and in this way continuing with the family tradition by opening the estate as a rural destination and personally managing it as a splendid 5-star hotel in Ragusa.

Dream A Little Dream For Me
"Another challenge for the Green Hornet, his aide Kato, and their rolling arsenal, the Black Beauty. On Police records a wanted criminal, Green Hornet is really Britt Reid, owner-publisher of the Daily Sentinel, his dual identity known only to his secretary and to the district attorney. And now, to protect the rights and lives of decent citizens, rides THE GREEN HORNET."
The Green Hornet stood to one side of her, his silent partner to the other. The shadows of the open building swallowed the edges, obscuring the figure whom they were confronting. His mouth moved, forming words. They were soundless yet she understood the meanings all the same.
Then there was movement. This figure's gestures grew agitated, aggressive. A barrel of a gun appeared, aimed at her. Yet she didn't shrink away. Her mouth worked without thought, daring him over and over to fire.
She stepped toward the shadows, opening herself up to the weapon. Suddenly the Hornet was pulling her behind him. Covering her with his body. The first bullet hit him low, in the side. She felt his body absorb the impact. Blanching, she wrapped her arms around his waist, trying to hold him up.
But he pushed her away, into the arms of his partner. She reached for him again. The Hornet shouted for the partner to get out. The figure from the shadows moved to block their path. The Hornet intercepted first.
She staggered backwards, the partner pulling her toward the exit. Another shot, her hair whipped about her face at the sound. The Hornet stumbled forward, the smoking gun to his back; urged them on as he attempted to follow. She planted her feet.
No! She had to go back!
Her mouth rounded to shout "No!". She tugged back on the smaller man's arm.
Her cry of "Stop!" fell sloppily from her mouth. The partner swung her into him, hugging tightly to keep her from going back. Suddenly the exit behind the wounded Hornet flew open and a shorter, heavier man ran in. His movements were choppy, almost in slow motion.
Impending doom burned her stomach. She pulled harder.
"Please!" she screamed in his ear. "Go back! Help him!"
Out of the corner of her eye, she saw this short man slide to a halt behind the Hornet. They were just feet apart.
Her heart fell at the sight of his face.
"Mike! Mike Axford! NO!"
Mike Axford's arm raised. His gun hand trembled. Her efforts redoubled. She scratched and clawed at the partner's face. But he simply picked her off the ground, cradling her body. And then the shots.
Her breath caught in her throat and all struggling ceased. The partner's grip loosened at the thud of the Green Hornet's lifeless body hitting the cement floor. She tried to turn, only to have the grip on her upper arms re-tighten.
"Don't." She started at the ragged tone of the partner's voice. She stared into his eyes-tears gathered behind the mask, but they wouldn't fall.
The doors banged open again and a mass of police flooded the floor. They broke into three groups: one tore her from the partner's arms, the other beat him to the ground and the last surrounded the Hornet. She screamed for them to stop their beating, but the pleas went unheeded. Nor did the usually resilient partner fight back. He took their blows without a sound.
His mask and cap fell off, leaving him exposed. Kato's head lifted up, blood dripping to his uniform front. His eyes never strayed from his friend's body. Those tears fell now. Silent drops, mixing with blood.
Mike Axford stared blankly at Kato's face then whirled to her as she sat beside the Hornet's body. He demanded she move aside-tried to reach around her.
Crying, her head brushed the Green Hornet's chest, his neck, his cheek. Still warm. She gently lifted the mask. Removed his hat.
And let Mike Axford see the man under that mask. Those unseeing aqua eyes, the parted lips-in pain or shock? The tanned face, already paling.
She picked up her chin and felt a small amount of satisfaction at the look of dismay and pain contorting the older man's features. The gun clattered from his grasp.
"Britt! Britt! My god, Britt!"
"Yes!" she screamed. "Yes!"
Axford grabbed wildly for her.
"No! Casey, no! I'm sorry! Casey…Casey! Casey, please! Casey!"
He shook her body, but she was a rag doll. Through this, the figure in the shadows watched in glee. Threw back his head and bellowed in laughter. Loud…nerve-shattering laughter.
"Casey! Casey! Casey…Casey!"
…asey! …asey! Casey! Casey! Casey, wake up!"
Mike Axford's voice cut through the webs and threw her back to the present. Her breath came out as a gasp and her voice a small cry. Eyes snapped open and hurriedly searched her apartment's surroundings for any surprises. The laughter rang in her ears.
Axford stepped back and put his hands on his hips. "Well! Welcome back."
Casey took a deep breath to stop her voice from fall apart in her throat and sat up.
"Mike. Oh my God. I'm…I'm sorry…."
She eased up out of her couch and tested her legs. Her shoes were kicked off to the side. She steadied herself and self-consciously patted her hair; wiped her eyes free of smeared mascara.
"What time is it?"
"1:30 in the afternoon."
Casey rubbed her forehead. "1:30? It's that late?"
"When you didn't come back from lunch on time, Britt sent me out to look for ya. I looked in your usual spots but you weren't at any of them, so…! I figured ya were here."
She brushed past him to the bathroom. "I see..."
He craned his neck when the light came open. Her movements suggested primping and fixing.
So real. It was so real.
"M-Mr. Reid wasn't upset, was he?"
The gunshots…the smoking barrel. The pain in Britt's eyes after the first shot. That figure. That figure in the shadows…..
"No! Not at all. In fact, he said that if you weren't feeling up to snuff when I found you… to take the rest of the day off."
…A dream, Casey. A nightmare, that's all. Sometimes they're vivid. Very vivid. Nothing else. You're stressed, girl!
The light flipped off. Casey came out, pulling her dress smooth. "How thoughtful of him."
She slipped her feet into the pumps and grabbed her clutch.
"So you're coming back?"
Casey swallowed and smiled weakly. "Of course! Why wouldn't I? A little cat nap goes a long way."
And what a way to go.
Axford was at her door, pulling it open, but she had not followed. Instead she was still standing in the middle of her small apartment, looking about uneasily. The laughter had returned to her ears and an icy breeze slid down her spine.
"Casey, are ya sure ya alright? Ya look like somebody's just walked over yer grave!"
"Of-of course. I…just keep thinking I forget something. Let's go."
She shoved past him rather roughly and he peered, steely-eyed, after her.
"Uh-huh…. Well, I'm driving. That's for sure!"

So I've had this game for ages but rarely played it.
Came to play it over the weekend and all was well for about 20 secs, then it would glitch a bit and then I would have no guns. When I die and respawn, still no guns. When I then quit the round and try to return to the menus the game just locks up. This happens again, and again and again.
Apologies if this has already been covered....but if someone could point me in the right direction?
Help much appreciated. Thanks in advance

Tel Aviv: The Chinese balloon that was detected over the US and shot down by an F-22 fighter aircraft should not have surprised Washington. China in the past pointed to the use of high flying balloons for military purposes.
In April 2022, the China’s People’s Liberation Army (PLA) published a paper that focused on “special aircraft” and concluded that balloons could be used by the military to test enemy air defences. This according to a translation of the paper by MEMERI, the Middle East Media Research Institute, a non-profit press monitoring and analysis organisation co-founded by former Israeli military intelligence officer Yigal Carmon.
According to this report, following the US’s February 4, 2023 downing of the Chinese spy balloon over the Atlantic Ocean, the balloon had crossed over the country over the course of a week and official Chinese media said that the incident confirmed that airships can be part of China’s air strategy and mocked the US for spending over $1.4 million to pop a $50 balloon.
According to the report in China, social media users also commented on the incident and said that “An Unmanned Airship Causes The Collapse of Myth of the North American Air Defence systems.”
The Chinese article translated by MEMERI points to a paper published in April 2022 by People’s Liberation Army (PLA) focused on “special aircraft” and concluded that one of the useful military applications of balloons would be to “suppress enemy air defence early warning systems and shield air attack forces to carry out their missions.”
It stated, “(Balloons can) induce and mobilise the enemy’s air defence system, providing the conditions for the implementation of electronic reconnaissance, assessment of air defence systems’ early warning detection and operational response capabilities. In response to the growing threat posed by ground-based air defence systems to air attack forces, it is necessary to use cheap air balloons to create active and passive interference to effectively suppress enemy air defence early warning systems and shield air attack forces to carry out their missions.”

The Medical Students’ Society (MSS rareDIG) commemorated Rare Disease Day on Feb. 28 with a cocktail event and speaker series in the McIntyre Medical Building. Rare diseases are defined as those which affect fewer than one in 2,000 people, which often makes finding treatment for them more difficult than it is for common illnesses.
Eight McGill students founded rareDIG in 2017—two of whom have rare diseases themselves—and joined activists in over 80 countries around the world to raise awareness for the millions of individuals affected by rare diseases.
The first speaker was Natalie Cinman, a patient of Osteogenesis Imperfecta (OI), also known as brittle bone disease. Cinman explained that this disease is associated with a collagen deficiency, which leads to fragile bones and increased risk of fractures. As a result, she was in and out of Montreal’s Shriners Hospital frequently as a child.
“At Shriners, what was great is that not only did [the medical staff] know how to care for me, but it was a support system and they became a family,” Cinman said. “You know everybody, and they know you, and they know how to take care of you.”
However, once she was transferred to an adult hospital, Cinman found that the healthcare services were not as accommodating as at Shriners. Cinman encourages those suffering from rare diseases to express their medical needs to their healthcare specialists.
“I think it is really important for someone with a rare disease to not be shy,” Cinman said. “We need to be the best advocate for our own medical care.”
Joseph Galli–director of the Loeys-Dietz Syndrome (LDS) Foundation of Canada (LDSF Canada)–and his wife Johane gave the second talk. Galli co-founded LDSF Canada in 2011 following his wife and children’s diagnosis with the disease, which affects connective tissues in many parts of the body and causes premature fusion of skull bones, abnormal scarring, and enlargement of blood vessels. LDSF Canada aims to implement a multi-year strategic plan to raise awareness, drive research, and provide support for patients and their families affected by LDS. One of its main goals is to encourage young scientists to take an interest in rare diseases.
“If we were to do a series of grants to young investigators, give them $25,000 for something that was a little outside the box, and then help them with collaborations and getting other grants, eventually, they can make a difference on a global scale,” Galli said. “The idea is to give a whole bunch of young people who have good ideas money and the opportunity to collaborate with other people around the world.”
The series’ third speaker, Adrian Thorogood, a lawyer and academic associate at the Centre of Genomics and Policy at McGill, suggested to clinicians and researchers the promise of using big data to combat rare diseases. Thorogood emphasized that, given the unlikeliness of encountering rare diseases, it is crucial for medical professionals to share what they with each other.
“To establish large enough data sets to better understand the cause of disease, there needs to be collaboration,” Thorogood said.
Eric Shoubridge, a professor and chair of the Department of Human Genetics at McGill, was the final speaker. Shoubridge explained that the peculiarities of rare diseases can provide knowledge about generating a treatment for more common diseases.
“By studying rare diseases, you can figure out how physiology works, how biochemistry works, how the body works,” Shoudbridge said. “Many rare diseases have led to insights into more common forms of disease.”

|Parking Controls South of Green to Stay Unchanged|
But residents' concerns lead to changes around Richmond Way
Parking controls in the two zones immediately south of Shepherds Bush Green will remain mostly unchanged after Hammersmith & Fulham (H&F) Council consulted with local residents.
With many visitors to Westfield parking in residential areas, some local people had asked the council to consider introducing longer controlled hours in zones B and C, together with a possible maximum stay period.
As a result, in January-February 2012, the council asked residents if they would like the parking controls extended from its current period of Monday - Friday, 9am to 6pm, to Monday -Sunday, 9am to 8pm.
Residents were also asked if the council should also introduce a maximum two hour stay for pay and display. The proposals included free parking for residents visitors on Sundays using the Smart Visitor Permit.
6,074 leaflets were sent out and 675 people responded. Of that number, only 154 were in favour of extending the controls. Due to the overall lack of support the council has chosen not to extend the parking controls in Zone B & C as a whole.
However, a number of residents from Richmond Way were in favour of extending the controls.
As a result, the controls on the part of Richmond Way, between Addison Gardens and Bolingbroke Road will now be from 9am to 8pm Monday to Sunday with a two hour maximum stay and free parking for Smart Visitor Permit holders on a Sunday. This area will now be incorporated into zone CC.
Cllr Nicholas Botterill, deputy leader and cabinet member for environment, said: “We have acted on residents’ concerns by carrying out this recent consultation but only a very small percentage of people were in favour of extending the regulations. However, there was some concern on Richmond Way so we have acted swiftly to protect residents’ ability to park near their homes.”
These changes are due to be implemented in the summer.May 4, 2012

Shafaq News/ Kurdistan's Prime Minister Masrour Barzani received a high-level United States delegation headed by the Assistant Secretary of State for Near Eastern Affairs, Barbara Leaf, earlier today, Wednesday, in Erbil.
According to a readout he issued earlier today, Prime Minister Barzani discussed with his guest ways to "strengthen bilateral relations and developments in Iraq's political situation."
"Assistant Secretary Leaf reaffirmed US's commitment to support the Kurdistan Region and the Peshmerga," the readout said, "we stressed intensified efforts to resolve issues between the Kurdistan Region and the federal government, particularly the disputes over Kurdistan's oil and gas, which need to be resolved through dialogue," warning of its impact of these differences on Iraq's peace and stability.
"We are not ready to give up our constitutional rights under any circumstance," he continued, reiterating "the Kurdistan Region's readiness to fundamentally resolve all issues on the basis of the constitution."
The prime minister shed light upon the reforms of the Ninth Cabinet has implemented and its efforts to" diversify revenue sources and build a strong economic infrastructure."
The meeting touched upon the impact of climate change on Iraq and the Kurdistan Region, US investments in Kurdistan, and the role of the private sector in developing its economy.

Robb Bank$ hasn't been dropping as much music as we'd like him to but he's definitely dropped off some heaters over the year. He's dropped off some loose singles and guest verses along the way but we're definitely eager to hear a full body of work from the Florida rapper. Hopefully, that ends up being something that comes into fruition in the near future. Today, he links up with Famous Dex for their latest single, "ILYSM."
Robb Bank$ recruits Famous Dex for his latest single, "ILYSM." It's a smooth banger from the two. With production from Natra Average, the two of them come through with volatile flows and aggressive ad-libs over the bouncy production. It's a solid venture from the two of them. While Robb Bank$ comes through with a more concise flow, it's countered by Dex's off-kilter delivery. They share solid chemistry on the track as they bounce back and forth.

Nine Inch Nails mastermind Trent Reznor has given a reason to exclaim “Happy New Year!” after indicating the industrial rock outfit will be coming out with their ninth studio album in 2016. The album will serve as the successor to 2013’s Hesitation Marks, which hit No. 2 on the Billboard 200, the highest charting Nine Inch Nails album since 2007’s Year Zero.
The latest album was a bit of a departure from the angst that typically permeates the band’s music. Songs were crafted with different electronic emphasis along with Reznor’s affinity for delivering an unforgettable hook. Taking cues from Kraftwerk and Daft Punk, Hesitation Marks has a major focus on dance rhythms, most notable in the singles “Copy of A,” “Everything” and “Came Back Haunted.”
After a quiet 2015, Reznor will also leave his fingerprints elsewhere next year. The promise of “other stuff” can mean a variety of things whether it’s another film score with Atticus Ross, another How to Destroy Angels album — which features his wife Mariqueen Maandig as well as Atticus Ross and Nine Inch Nails collaborator Rob Sheridan — or something else altogether.
“Yeah, I’ve been messing around with some things,” the Nine Inch Nails mainman told Rolling Stone in July. “And I went through a period of ‘tour, tour, tour.’ Things right after another, with scores and what I’ve been doing whilst working on Apple music here is what I call “laboratory time,” more experiments without any definite agenda.” Explaining himself, he continued, “It’s not for a thing, it’s not a record I’m trying to finish in a month. It’s more just feeling around in the dark and seeing what sounds interesting. It’s nice to do that every few years to try and reinvent and discover and try to learn about yourself and what feels exciting to you as an artist.”
The Rock and Roll Hall of Fame nominated Nine Inch Nails as a candidate for the second consecutive year, but the pioneering act was passed over in favor of Deep Purple, Cheap Trick, Chicago, N.W.A. and Steve Miller. A band becomes eligible 25 years after the release of their first record, meaning Reznor’s outfit met the qualifications in 2014.

Escape rooms have become a popular form of group entertainment but how does setting one up in a classroom promote executive functioning skills? In Rochelle Rubin and Nicole Goldman’s Green Cluster class, students have been studying various facets of executive functioning as part of their Student Advocacy curriculum, including time management, task initiation, and organization. “I constantly draw attention to these vocabulary terms as the students are using them,” said Ms. Rubin. “For example, when a student writes down an assignment in their planner, I praise their strategy for organization.” Wanting to find a way to review the terms related to executive functioning while actually having the students utilize the various skills, led to the idea of an escape room.
According to Ms. Rubin, the activity fostered collaboration and allowed students to practice skills in the real world. They had to organize their ideas and process in tandem with physically organizing the clues, as well as pause, reflect and communicate with their group before attempting to solve a clue which practiced inhibitory control. The students were given a certain amount of time to complete the activity, so they split up tasks in order to meet the requirements of the challenge and consistently checked the timer to make sure they were working at a successful pace. At the end, they had to recite a deciphered message to unlock the door. Both groups were successful and were extremely motivated to complete the challenge.
“We were impressed by their teamwork and perseverance, and we know they felt proud of their success,” said Ms. and Goldman.
“Each student was motivated to participate during this hands on experience,” said Ms. Rubin. “They felt successful when they ‘escaped’ and had a sense of community. It was great to see them high-five each other and acknowledge that each member of the team was an integral part of ‘escaping.'”

On a dark misty night, the two wanderers fought over to which place next should they explore so as to enjoy the utter pulchritude. As they plunged into the argument, they understood that both of them eventually wanted nature in a celestial figure. To narrow down the decision parameter they scouted the North-East and hola! MIZORAM won the argument. There is no second thought in the process of planning a trip to this treasure of the North East. It is an appealing treat to the eyes of a holidaymaker.
With a lump of architectural brilliance such as Solomon’s Temple and Mizoram State Museum, Mizoram also gives heads up for nature’s feast. Durtlang Hills and Tamdil Lake are also a testament of the state’s inherent natural beauty and artistry.
The focal point of a tour to this state is the inhalation of its culture and lifestyle. Chapchar Kut Spring Festival can be an exquisite experience to have for a holiday planned in the month of March. The celebration of this vivid festival delivers some great and popular dance forms of Mizoram like Cheraw, Khuallam, Chheihlam, Chai, and Sarlamkai.

Well this is the first of two tunes as I mentioned in the discussion post titled “Any ideas for a good waltz set?”.
By itself this is a nice if somewhat humble waltz. Taken together with the other waltz “Valse A Jessie” which is a beauty, they make a strong pair. Unfortunately, I can only post one tune per day so the second will have to wait until tomorrow.
Great tune Played with GREAT gusto by Maeve Donnelly on her CD of the same name. Well worth the price just for the waltzes and clog-dances.

Description from manager
This Santorini villa is ideal if you're ready to switch off your cell phone, put your feet up, and enjoy Greek island life from a different perspective. Relax inside or outside with the private pool... or stroll into the local village square to relax some more! A complimentary rental car (included with this Santorini villa for rent) will take you anywhere else you want to be on the island-- particularly Fira, the vibrant capital. Whether or not you stay to enjoy the bustling night life, you'll love visiting the museum, shopping, and simply taking in the magnificent views!
Imposing wooden gates conceal a pretty, secluded courtyard, complete with the recent addition of a small swimming pool (3.4m x 5m) and lounge chairs. There is also a small garden outside of the kitchen, equipped with a table and seating for al fresco meals. Built in the mid 19th century, this villa was inhabited by one of the feudal landlords of the island. Until 20 years ago, the villa was still occupied by one of the descendants of the same family. Refusing to allow modern technology in the house, she lived happily without electricity, collecting her water in the well after each rain. Now, however, the villa has been outfitted with all the modern conveniences-- but retaining the original structure and style of the house.

Ground Floor: Double doors lead directly from the courtyard into a spacious lounge and dining area with superb vaulted ceilings and original polished wooden floors. The well-equipped kitchen has an original stone arch which now serves as a washing up and preparation area. The kitchen has an oven, filter coffee maker, and toaster. The lovely kitchen garden is perfect for enjoying alfresco meals under blue skies while absorbing the village atmosphere. Two bedrooms lead off from either side of the central living room. One is the master bedroom, with a 180 cm king-size bed. The other smaller room has a 160 cm queen-sized bed. They share a bathroom with a sink, toilet, and open shower.

Roosevelt election raises local hopes for ship canal
The greatest significance of the smashing landslide victory by Franklin D. Roosevelt in his bid for re-election as President in the November 1936 general election, as far as Ocala and Marion County were concerned, was the possibility of re-starting work on the Florida Ship Canal.
That possibility was only slight, but local supporters were encouraged by the scheduling of another hearing on the canal in Washington in mid-December. Roosevelt earlier had started construction of the canal, a project shut down in early 1936 by Congress.
Local leaders were confident the President wanted to see the project completed — if Congress would only provide the money.
As might be expected, this area joined the nation in its wholehearted support of Roosevelt at the polls. The only surprise was that Maine and Vermont declined to go along with the majority. Local Democrats denounced “the unfair and dirty tactics” the Republicans used in trying to unseat him.
Dr. Walter Hood, at age 83, left his sick bed in an ambulance to be one of the first in Ocala to cast a vote of confidence in Roosevelt. He had cast his first ballot in 1872, voting against the GOP candidate, Ulysses .S. Grant.
There were only three ballot boxes in the city for white voters, and long lines quickly formed throughout the day in both East and West Ocala. On election day in West Ocala, in the black section of town, Hettie Campbell gave birth to a daughter that she was inspired to name “Electoria Delano.”
One of the big names in Florida politics, Charley Hunter, came down from Tallahassee to cast his ballot, as he had done in the past. The park and athletic field at the S Curve had been named years earlier for Hunter, who had played on and coached numerous baseball teams.
Hunter also had started an ill-fated daily newspaper in Tallahassee, and in 1936 was editor of the Florida State News there.
Another former Ocalan, Colin English, came back home to vote. A former supervising principal in Ocala, he had been elected state superintendent of schools in the spring primaries, as had other state leaders and Marion County's new sheriff, Gordon Moorhead.
Moorhead would replace S.C.M. Thomas in January 1937, and was undergoing intensive law-enforcement training in Jacksonville throughout December. His previous training had been in the military police during World War I. Most of his professional life had been mostly with the Otis Elevator Co., a far cry from law enforcement.
Moorhead was head of the federal WPA work-relief program in Marion County when he decided to try to unseat controversial sheriff S.C.M. Thomas, who had served for 16 years. Moorhead would go on to serve two terms
Thomas was a strong political force in Marion County for a long time, but prior to the 1936 election, there were incidents that eroded his political support. In the 1940s, Thomas would win election again, unseating Moorhead, but soon he would face a Grand Jury investigation and leave office.
Another long-time Marion County sheriff, John P. Galloway, died at his Ocala home on the day following the general election in November. He was 79 years old.
Galloway had moved from Georgia to Leesburg in 1875, and later would be elected sheriff of Lake County and then Sumter County. He won election as sheriff of Marion County, because of his reputation throughout this area, shortly after moving to Ocala.
At his death, the Ocala Morning Banner was uncertain how many terms he served as sheriff but said “he made a splendid and efficient officer and was popular with a large percentage of the population.” He actually served as sheriff from 1908 through 1921, according to a history of Marion County sheriffs written by Margaret Pasteur in the 1970s.
Commenting on the outcome of the 1936 general election, city councilman and downtown merchant Marcus Frank said, “With the re-election of Roosevelt and the election of Fred Cone as governor, the state of Florida has the brightest outlook for the next four years that it has had in the 43 years I have lived in Florida.”
Dr. E.G. Peek, a state Democratic committeeman and one of Ocala's major civic leaders, said, “It was perfectly great.” He thought the election outcome showed the public's faith in the New Deal recovery program.
The Morning Banner reporter said he had great difficulty finding a Republican willing to comment. That man was attorney Frank Green, who said, “We trust the election will turn out for the best.” Two men who professed to be Democrats but opposed the direction the President was taking, thought Roosevelt would run helter-skelter with new ways to spend the public's money, as if paying men to lean on shovels (the WPA program) wasn't enough.
For the first time during a presidential campaign, a Democratic Party headquarters had been opened in downtown Ocala. Mrs. Ed Green was manager of the headquarters. She also was secretary for the Democratic Executive committee.
She was pleased by the voter turnout. There were 5,313 votes counted for Roosevelt. Less than 25 were counted for Alf Landon, the GOP’s flag bearer.

DCI Alan Lapslie suffers from synaesthesia, a neurological condition that means he experiences everyday sounds as strong taste sensations. The clicking of his keyboard registers as hot pilchards in tomato sauce while his Sergeant’s voice registers as grapefruit and he experiences a myriad of other tastes continuously unless he can be in complete silence. Which is why is working from home at the opening of this book but his superiors want him to resign from the Force on disability and so demand he comes back to work on the high profile case of a television reporter who has been tortured and murdered. Lapslie doesn’t want to resign and so takes on the case.
The portrayal of Lapslie’s condition and how it affects his work and his personal life is quite fascinating and has a genuine feel to it, though his treatment by his employers is less believable (I couldn’t help but create a mental list of all the health and safety rules that were broken in his case). Lapslie is both an intriguing character and a likable one, desperate not to be seen as disabled and fighting daily to have any semblance of a normal life he never plays ‘the pity card’ but just tries to get on with his job (when he’s not vomiting in the corner from all the overwhelming tastes in his mouth). He’s joined by other warm, interesting characters including DS Emma Bradbury who tries clever ways to help him manage his problem and the Coroner Jane Catherall who has her own physical problems to deal with but is also smart and engaging. McCrery writes female characters well.
In chapters alternating with those depicting the police investigation, we learn about the killer Carl Whittley and this is where the book became less engaging for me. I suppose it is reasonable that these chapters had none of the warmth of those describing the police investigation but I didn’t find the depth either. As the animal torturer turned serial killer Carl seemed very much a stereotype and his family weren’t any more original. In the first book in this series, Still Waters, McCrery does an amazing job of portraying his culprit in a sympathetic light even though she is quite patently mad if not absolutely evil but he doesn’t quite pull that off here. He does show Carl as someone on the fringes of society who perhaps would not have trodden his path if the world were a more caring place but I never quite swallowed Carl as the kind of killer he was being shown as. His ‘plan’, outlined early on, had some glaring logical holes in it that kept making me think things along the lines of “if you really were trying to do what you said then you wouldn’t be choosing this victim” and I thought it was trying a bit too hard to have a gimmick, almost as if murdering people isn’t mad enough.
Summing up all of that is quite difficult as I enjoyed one half of the book and was quite a bit less enthralled with the other half. I suspect this book was written with more emphasis on a possible TV adaptation than the first as it felt like it had more visual content and less concentration on any one thing (there was more going on). Though with McCrery being one of the writers of the TV shows Silent Witness and New Tricks perhaps he is just less successful at writing for the different mediums in this instance. Overall though the book was a fast-paced read and I never considered giving up on it as I really was intrigued to learn how Lapslie and his colleagues would work their way around to Carl.

Bernadette – Thanks for this review. Isn’t it interesting how one half of a book can be so different from the other. I’ve read books like that, too. As I read your post, too, I was thinking about how difficult it is to portray a serial killer in an interesting light. Some authors do it quite well. Others do not. To me, that’s one mark of a talented author – someone who can make all the characters worth reading about – including the killer.
Excellent review, Bernadette. Definitely not a book for animal lovers. I have now been sent the next in the series by the publisher, so let me know if you want me to send it to you when I have read it, possibly several aeons into the future.
This book sounds so interesting, especially about the disabilities of the protagonist. But I don’t like serial killer themes and I abhor harm done to animals, would have to skip all of that. Oh, gee, and I was so taken by the start of the review. Why these plot devices?
Good to read your review, as always.


The use of CNG as a fuel for SI engines represents a feasible solution to improve engine fuel economy (so reducing also CO2 emissions) and to face with short term urban pollution. To full exploit its potential is, however, necessary to tailor engine characteristics to this gaseous fuel in order to optimize its performances. Numerical simulation of these engines plays an important role in the design procedure, but specific problems related to CNG combustion have to be solved. In the present paper this task is performed by means of a modified version of KIVA-3 with respect to the combustion model formulation. The modified combustion model formulation is based on flamelet hypothesis, and constitutes an extension of the classical BML concept. Its formulation avoids any explicit dependence on turbulent time (different from the traditional approach based on “characteristic times”), by modeling length scales on the basis of laminar flames properties. The numerical results have been compared with the experimental ones carried out at the CNR Istituto Motori of Naples under different engine loads, engine speeds and air/fuel mixture conditions. The results obtained are really encouraging, even under lean conditions when the interaction between turbulent flow field and the involved combustion phenomena becomes more complex.

The guy added your time and energy and energy to unify the faith culture in Houston around the design regulation which Dallas set out. He offered relating to the regulating aboard connected with Cooperative Baptist Fellowship from 2012 to 2019, aisting after you consider the all over the country challenge to legislate financing this is payday.
I didn’t consider it showing up.
I became welcomed by a great friend, Stephen Reeves, to safeguard for them with a discussion a hinders which happen to be couple of from your ceremony. The conference was a method seion where most Houston nonprofit businesses been creating ways to overcome payday loan set up. We were not acquainted with payday loaning and was amazed to learn cash advance payday loan — financial obligations anchored by means of a post-dated examine or profile debit agree — are purportedly concise lending options, but complete getting many candidates in a long-range design of high-cost credit. In Florida in 2018, income and car notion lending had been a $5.2 billion busine , developed of the butt of the most extremely people which happen to be monetarily prone location. – Steve Well, pastor
There probably will not be any hats from costs for pay day loan debts in Lone-star state. Further, there isn’t any real defenses avoiding the program of personal debt that benefits from repeated refinances of these financial products. Texans spend ordinary charge expanding between 200 percent plus 500 per-cent APR for payday advances, many the highest inside the condition. These inflated expenditure, around with credit design with financing preparation costs as opposed to repaying the borrowed funds, eliminate anyone into also greater adversity that is economic . These businees advertise confidence, but usually produce despair.
Although the harms among those things include noticeable, the route to approach change is truly a rough one. Sixteen shows while the section of Columbia hat whole prices on these funding options at 36 percentage APR — a rate that is definitely higher but one significantly less compared to 200 to 500 per cent APR noticed in Illinois for salary and car issue credit.
For Arizona, statewide means reforms occur very incredibly elusive. However the problems to reforms, are living from a deft and prodigious lobby for a powerful busine, guaranteed through the charges acquired in the individuals top personal loans, discover their unique complete within an unforeseen area — inside the organizations of civilized customs such as homes of activity, foodbanks, nonprofits, hometown businees, and urban location sites. Beginning in Dallas last year parts started emerging jointly to acquire close loaning procedures which were targeted at blocking the adversity of customers from the lending sector which is payday.
The storyplot on this pay day that will be regional auto subject debt regional regulation actions in Tx may be a beautiful one. They transcends opinions, partisanship, and land. It set about within Lone-star condition community and advanced over seven a long time to pay for 45 urban centers, symbolizing over 10 million Texans.
The principle ordinance was actually implemented next a situation appropriate seion where in actuality the places of municipal society – faith-based and various other not-for-profit agencies – inundated the capitol seeking reform of predatory money steps. The endeavor received certain little achievements: certificates before duplicate businees, visitors disclosures, and information vary to go with long-term arrange initiatives. But, the most significant part, securities for anyone, became located from the trimming space surface this is legislative.
Rather than steady to attend for all the legislature to completely thoroughly clean a concern that have grown-up getting a problem this is major towns across Texas, one Dallas metropolitan area council user pick to-do things about any of it.

Zoe Kravitz is the newest Hollywood beauty to play Catwoman on the big screen, but she wasn’t the first actress to try out for the part.
According to Variety, the actress-singer claims she was turned down for a small role in Christopher Nolan’s The Dark Knight Rises years ago because of her skin color.
“I don’t know if it came directly from Chris Nolan,” Kravitz told The Guardian in a recent interview. “I think it was probably a casting director of some kind or a casting director’s assistant … Being a woman of color and being an actor and being told at that time that I wasn’t able to read because of the color of my skin, and the word urban being thrown around like that, that was what was really hard about that moment.”
Kravitz revealed in a 2015 Nylon piece that she “couldn’t secure an audition” because the picture wasn’t “going urban.”
“It was like, ‘What does that have to do with anything?’” she added at the time. “I have to play the role like, ‘Yo, what’s up, Batman? What’s going on wit chu? ’”
When word got out that she’d be playing Selina Kyle/Catwoman in director Matt Reeves’ version, which came out March 1, Kravitz said her “phone was blowing up more than any birthday I’d ever had.” She co-stars with Robert Pattinson in The Batman, which follows Bruce Wayne as he begins his transformation into the Caped Crusader.
Kravitz told Empire that she studied cats in order to prepare for her role as Catwoman.
“We watched cats and lions and how they fight, and talked about what is actually possible when you’re my size and Batman’s so much stronger than me. What is my skill? It’s being fast and tricky,” she explained. “So we did some really interesting floor work that incorporated different kinds of martial arts and capoeira and a kind of feline, dance-like movement.”
This is an origin story for Selina,” said Kravitz. “So it’s the beginning of her figuring out who she is, beyond just someone trying to survive. I think there’s a lot of space to grow and I think we are watching her become what I’m sure will be the femme fatale.”
Halle Berry, Anne Hathaway, and Michelle Pfeiffer are just a few of the A-list celebrities that have portrayed Catwoman in a Batman film.
She explained that she interpreted her version of Selina as bisexual because it is hinted in The Batman that Selina’s friendship with Anika is more than platonic. Selina refers to Anika as a “baby” in one scene.
Asked by Pedestrian if this suggests Selina is down with the LGBTQ community, Kravitz said, “That’s definitely the way I interpreted that, that they had some kind of romantic relationship.”
Reeves told the outlet, “In terms of her relationship with Anika, I spoke to Zoë very early on and one of the things she said, which I loved, was that [Kyle is] drawn to strays because she was a stray and so she really wants to care for these strays because she doesn’t want to be that way anymore, and Anika is like a stray and she loves her. She actually represents this connection that she has to her mother who she lost, who was a stray anymore.”
The Batman is now showing in theaters around the country and has allegedly grossed $128 million in its first weekend.


Tripoli_ Libya’s General Prosecutor has order on Thursday the detention of a former diplomat who worked at the Libyan embassy in Cairo for violating public funds’ regulations.
The former Acting Financial Controller had deliberately disposed of millions of pounds in violation of the governing rules and violated the requirements of reviewing financial operations and examining their compatibility with financial laws. He, therefore, caused severe damage to public money, the General Prosecutor’s office said in a statement published on its Facebook page.
Thus, the statement added “the investigator ended up ordering the accused to be remanded in custody.”
As a result of the lack of strong supervision and control over Libyan embassies around the world, inexperienced diplomats and officials at these mission found it easier most of the time get away with breaking of laws and regulations of the Foreign Ministry and International Cooperation.

Needle valve is a type of valve that can be used in various fields that require pressure regulation. The standard working pressure that the needle valve can perform ranges from 6000 PSI to 10000 PSI, this value can change according to the temperature level.
To find out why needle valves are so useful, here's the discussion:
Using the needle valve, you can calculate and measure the flow rate through the needle valve. Counting numbers and precise flow rate measurements can be carried out, thus, can also be applied to meters, and meter lines.
Needle valves are very flexible as they provide various options for measurement. Flow rate adjustment is available in the low to maximum range. This makes the device suitable for use with multiple components.
By using a needle valve as a flow control in the pipe, it can reduce the waste that occurs because of its effectiveness in its use, so that users do not need to buy regularly about pipes that are guilty of flow.
That's the benefit of using a Needle valve. If you want to use a needle valve on your flow pipe, make sure to use quality products such as needle valve yuken, needle valve swagelok, and needle valve parker that have good quality.

The oil and gas industry is still digesting new research that claims blue hydrogen could potentially be worse for the climate than burning natural gas, although some critics have also hit out at the landmark paper.
The study by researchers at Cornell and Stanford universities was published last week in the Energy Science & Engineering journal and is claimed to be a first-of-a-kind peer-reviewed study of blue hydrogen’s lifecycle greenhouse gases footprint.
The study claims to debunk the notion that blue hydrogen represents an emissions-free, or even low-emissions option, citing the large amounts of natural gas needed to fuel the process itself and the escape of “fugitive methane” from wells and other equipment along the supply chain.
For its default assumptions, which include a 3.5% emission rate of methane from natural gas and a 20-year global warming potential, the study found total carbon dioxide equivalent emissions for blue hydrogen are only 9% to 12% less than for grey hydrogen.
Blue hydrogen is produced from natural gas feedstocks, with the CO2 by-product from hydrogen production captured and stored.
If the UK is to succeed in reaching net zero we will need all the tools in our toolbox. We should applaud the government’s global leadership on clean hydrogen
Equinor executive vice president Al Cook
While admitting carbon dioxide emissions were lower, the study notes fugitive methane emissions for blue hydrogen were higher than grey because of an increased use of natural gas to power the carbon capture technology.
The study claims, under its default assumptions, that the greenhouse gas footprint of blue hydrogen is more than 20% greater than burning natural gas or coal for heat and some 60% greater than burning diesel oil for heat.
Even in a sensitivity analysis in which the methane emission rate from natural gas is reduced to a low value of 1.54%, the study found greenhouse gas emissions from blue hydrogen were still higher than just burning natural gas and only 18% to 25% less than for grey hydrogen.
The study authors note their analysis is a “best-case scenario” for blue hydrogen and assumes captured CO2 can be stored indefinitely, which they claim is “an optimistic and unproven assumption”.
'The results are stark'
"Politicians around the world, from the UK and Canada to Australia and Japan, are placing expensive bets on blue hydrogen as a leading solution in the energy transition,” said study co-author Robert Howarth.
“Our research is the first in a peer-reviewed journal to lay out the significant lifecycle emissions intensity of blue hydrogen. This is a warning signal to governments that the only 'clean' hydrogen they should invest public funds in is truly net-zero, green hydrogen made from wind and solar energy."
The study also comes as the UK prepares to publish its long awaited hydrogen strategy, with blue hydrogen expected to play a role in the UK’s decarbonisation plans.
However, professor of mechanical engineering at the University of Cambridge, David Cebon, warned politicians to take note of the study’s findings before considering investment in blue hydrogen under the premise that it supports the UK’s climate goals.
“This landmark paper sheds light on the key unknown in the UK’s hydrogen debate: the greenhouse gas footprint of blue hydrogen. The calculation method is rigorous, the assumptions are all solid and the results are stark,” he said.
“Blue hydrogen cannot be considered ‘low-carbon’ or a ‘clean’ solution. In fact, this paper shows that producing blue hydrogen is significantly worse than burning fossil fuels for heat, such as gas or coal, in the first place.”
Incorrect assumptions lead to incorrect conclusions
Blue hydrogen and carbon capture and storage is forming a core part of many oil and gas companies energy transition plans as they look to continue to monetise their existing assets in a lower carbon future.
Norwegian giant Equinor is one such player that sees hydrogen playing a key role in the energy transition and is involved in several planned developments, including the proposed Net Carbon Humber development in the UK.
A spokesperson for the company told Upstream that Equinor believes the assumptions used in the study were not correct, which led to incorrect conclusions.
The spokesperson pointed Upstream towards a letter by Equinor’s executive vice president Al Cook that was published in The Times newspaper in the UK on the weekend.
In the letter Cook states that Equinor “strongly” disagrees with the claim that blue hydrogen made from natural gas could be worse for the environment than simply burning the gas for fuel.
In particular, he highlights claims in the study that — in the US — 2.6% of gas is lost to the atmosphere during production and transportation, causing climate change.
“The figure for the UK’s largest blue hydrogen project, Zero Carbon Humber, is in fact less than one hundredth of this,” he states.
“Zero Carbon Humber will be powered by gas from Norway, produced with some of the lowest emissions in the world. If the UK is to succeed in reaching net zero we will need all the tools in our toolbox. We should applaud the government’s global leadership on clean hydrogen.”
Blue hydrogen has transitional role
Meanwhile, Upstream was told by a spokesperson for the Hydrogen Council — a chief executive-led coalition of companies around the world — that it is still reviewing the research paper and its methodology.
“Bringing together 120-plus members from across a multitude of sectors, the Hydrogen Council believes that hydrogen technologies have a key role to play in delivering on global net zero goals,” the spokesperson added.
A spokesperson for independent UK advisory the Climate Change Committee (CCC) also told Upstream it had yet to review the details of the report.
However, head of carbon budgets at the CCC, David Joffe, took to twitter last week to hit out at the study, which he claimed represented a case where blue hydrogen “is done really badly and without any sensible regulations”.
He also highlighted that zero emission green hydrogen, made using electrolysis powered by renewable energy, would take time, with blue hydrogen able to fill in as a “transitional option” to help grow hydrogen, while reducing emissions.
“If we don’t do that, H2 will be less able to contribute to net zero in the areas where it is important as we won’t have given the demand side time to develop,” Joffe said via Twitter.
Officially, the CCC assumes a 95% CO2 capture rate on blue hydrogen production, which is consistent with what large engineering companies, such as Equinor, say is possible, using autothermal reforming technology.
The CCC’s own analysis finds that blue hydrogen could save up to 85% of emissions compared to unabated use of fossil gas, depending on the emissions footprint of fossil gas production being relatively low.
However, the CCC also only recommends hydrogen use be focused in those areas that cannot feasibly be fully decarbonised through other means, such as electrification, because the emissions reduction from blue hydrogen are still “significantly below 100%".

Biocontrol strain Pseudomonas fluorescens CHA0 and its genetically modified derivative with enhanced biocontrol capability exert comparable effects on the structure of a Sinorhizobium meliloti population in a gnotobiotic system
Biology and Fertility of Soils
The impact of biocontrol strain Pseudomonas fluorescens CHA0 and of its genetically modified, antibiotic-overproducing derivative CHA0/pME3424 on a reconstructed population of the plant-beneficial Sinorhizobium meliloti bacteria was assessed in gnotobiotic systems. In sterile soil, the final density of the reconstructed S. meliloti population decreased by more than one order of magnitude in the presence of either of the Pseudomonas strains when compared to a control without addition of P. fluorescens. Moreover, there was a change in the proportion of each individual S. meliloti strain within the population. Plant tests also revealed changes in the nodulating S. meliloti population in the presence of strains CHA0 or CHA0/pME3424. In both treatments one S. meliloti strain, f43, was significantly reduced in its root nodule occupancy. Analysis of alfalfa yields showed a slight but statistically significant increase in shoot dry weight when strain CHA0 was added to the reconstructed S. meliloti population whereas no such effect was observed with CHA0/pME3424.

text: Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) remains the 3rd reason behind cancer-related mortality. to become elucidated, and searching medications to inhibit TGF-1 induced EMT may be regarded as a potentially effective therapeutic technique in HCC. Fortunately, in this scholarly study, we discovered that curcumin inhibited TGF-1-induced EMT in hepatoma cells. Furthermore, we confirmed that curcumin inhibited TGF-1-induced EMT via inhibiting Smad2 phosphorylation and nuclear translocation, after that suppressing Smad2 combined with promoter of Snail which inhibited the transcriptional appearance of Snail. These results suggesting curcumin is actually a useful agent for antitumor therapy in addition to a guaranteeing drug coupled with other ways of preventing and dealing with HCC. and [11, 12]. Furthermore, it had been confirmed that curcumin inhibited IFN–induced IDO and TNF–induced EMT inside our prior research . In this article, we elucidated the mechanism of curcumin inhibited EMT induced by TGF-1 in hepatoma cells, which intended to provide experimental support for curcumin in preventing and treating HCC. RESULTS TGF-1 induced EMT in hepatoma cells To study the influence of TGF-1 on EMT, hepatoma cell lines treatment with or without 20 ng/ml TGF-1. After treated with TGF-1, phase contrast microscope exhibited that cell lines including HepG2 and QGY-7703 adopted a typical fibroblast-like morphology of mesenchymal cells and became scattered (Physique ?(Figure1A).1A). Real-Time PCR and western blotting indicated that this expression EFNA3 of vimentin and fibronectin were upregulated, while E-cadherin were downregulated significantly (Physique 1B, 1C). All these results show that EMT can be induced by TGF-1 in hepatoma cells. Open in a separate window Physique 1 TGF-1-induced EMT in hepatoma cells(A) Cells were treated with or without 20 ng/ml TGF-1 for 48 h, and then the phenotypic changes of EMT in hepatoma cell lines were detected by a phase contrast microscope (A), the protein and mRNA expression of E-cadherin (E-cad), vimentin (Vim) and fibronectin (Fn) were detected by western blotting and quantitative real-time PCR respectively Geldanamycin tyrosianse inhibitor (B, C). GAPDH served as the loading control. Similar results were obtained in three impartial experiments. Statistically significant values with 0.01 are marked with (*). TGF-1 promoted invasion and metastasis in hepatoma cells After EMT, to determine the changes of invasion and metastasis ability, hepatoma cells treatment with or without TGF-1 for 48 h. Wound healing exhibited that treatment with TGF-1, the scrape wound of cells become narrower significantly compared with control (Physique ?(Figure2A).2A). Cell invasion assay shown that treatment with TGF-1, the number of cells in the lower chamber are more than the control group (Physique ?(Figure2B).2B). As a result, these total Geldanamycin tyrosianse inhibitor results demonstrate that TGF-1 can induce EMT and promote hepatoma cells invasion and metastasis. Open in another window Body 2 TGF-1-induced invasion and metastasis in hepatoma cellsCells had been treated with or without 20 ng/ml TGF-1 for 48 h, and the invasion and metastasis of hepatoma cells had been discovered by wound curing technology (A) and cell invasion assay (B). In cell invasion assay, cells that acquired pass on through the skin pores from the filtration system and in to the lower chamber had been stained with hematoxylin and counted under a stage comparison microscope (five areas per chamber). Equivalent outcomes had been attained in three indie tests. Statistically significant beliefs with 0.01 are marked with (*). Curcumin inhibited EMT induced by TGF-1 in hepatoma cells Initially, an MTT enzyme assay was utilized to look for the cytotoxicity of curcumin in hepatoma cell lines (HepG2 and QGY-7703). It confirmed that curcumin could suppress the proliferation of cells within a concentration-dependent way. At 20 M of curcumin, the success price of cells was about 80%, whereas when cells had been subjected to higher focus, the cells passed away significantly (Body ?(Figure3A).3A). As a result, 20 M curcumin had been used in following experiments, which still keep up with the high success rate of the hepatoma cells. To evaluate the role of curcumin on TGF-1-induced EMT, cells pretreated with or without 20 M curcumin, then treated with or without TGF-1 for 48 h. It exhibited that TGF-1-treated cells exhibited morphological changes of EMT, the expression of vimentin and fibronectin increased and the expression of E-cadherin decreased. But when pretreated with curcumin, TGF-1-induced morphological changes could not be observed any more, and expression of vimentin, fibronectin and E-cadherin were recovered to the control group (Physique 3BC3D). This results indicate that curcumin can inhibit EMT induced by TGF-1 in hepatoma cells. Open in a separate window Physique 3 Curcumin inhibited TGF-1-induced EMT in hepatoma cells(A) Cytotoxicity of curcumin in hepatoma cells were performed by means of an MTT enzyme assay. Hepatoma cells were Geldanamycin tyrosianse inhibitor incubated in the presence of different.

Austrian psych-rock trio MOTHER’S CAKE have returned with their brand new single ‘Toxic Brother’, released 15th May via Membran.[youtube https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5VU-8w_9VGw&w=560&h=315]
‘Toxic Brother’ sees the band bundling their raw live energy into a dynamically dense song, with a number of surprises that can perhaps best be described as ‘Speedstoner’, with a hint of King Gizzard & The Lizard Wizard. It’s also the first glimpse into MOTHER’S CAKE’s new LP, released Autumn 2020 – more details shortly.
‘Toxic Brother’ is a song that deals with one’s own potentially evil side. As per the classic gothic novella, ‘Dr Jekyll and Mr Hyde’, it hints at the potentially diabolical spirit lurking inside the mind, awaiting realisation via the loosening of the shackles of outward morality, scratching, biting and digging its way out until it finally takes full control of the body.
The career of MOTHER’S CAKE to date has seen them play hundreds of concerts from Manchester to Mumbai to Melbourne, including shows with Wolfmother, Iggy & The Stooges, Omar Rodriguez-López, Alice In Chains and Limp Bizkit. They have also released three successful studio albums plus a ‘Live at Pompeii’-style live set recorded on the iconic ski jump in Bergisel, Austria in 2018.
Notable prior press support comes from the likes of LouderSound, Rolling Stone, RedBull.com; the band’s previous record No Rhyme No Reason charted internationally, including in the Top 40 Austrian Charts. Beyond that, MOTHER’S CAKE’s single ‘Black Roses’ spent two weeks on the Spotify UK Top 50 Viral Chart.
