To successfully grow mushrooms, you need to be sure you are using the right substrate. Using substrates for growing mushrooms is equivalent to using soil for growing plants. It is the place the mushrooms will receive all their nutrients as they grow. Just as plants need soils of varying properties, different types of mushrooms favor certain types of substrates.
By the end of this tutorial, you will learn what the substrate is in mushrooms, and its uses. You will know some of the common mushroom substrate recipes, as well as preferred substrates of various mushrooms. We also teach you how to pasteurize or sterilize your substrates, and much more.
What Is Mushroom Substrate? What is it Used For?
A mushroom substrate is the material that the mycelium grow on and set up. The substrate provides mushrooms with nutrients, water, and energy that they need in order to grow and produce. There are many different substrates used by growers.
Different species of mushrooms have their preferences. So, it is essential that you pair your mushrooms with a suitable substrate in order to get the best chances for success. You can learn more about mushroom substrates from this video:
What Makes a Good Mushroom Substrate?
- A good substrate is one that is rich in woody, fibrous materials such as lignin, cellulose, and hemicellulose.
- Your substrate needs to have 1% to 2% nitrogen for the most ideal growing environment. Most substrates (like sawdust or straw) need to have additional materials added to them to reach this threshold.
- Your substrate needs to contain a small amount of magnesium, potassium, calcium, sulfur and phosphorus. Most raw substrates already contain these minerals, but this does vary depending on where the material came from.
- You’ll likely need to experiment here to see if you need to supplement with additional minerals and nutrients.
- Your substrate needs to be slightly acidic, with a PH level of about 5 – 6.5. Just double check the ideal requirements depending on the specific mushroom you’ll be growing.
- Your substrate needs to have a good structure to enable air exchange.
- Your substrate needs a moisture content of 50-70% to create ideal conditions.
- Finally, your substrate needs to have an absence of competing organisms. This provides a blank canvas for your mushroom mycelium to thrive.

Before the substrate can be contaminated by fungus spores or mycelium, first, it must be prepared. Water will need to be added to the substrate, and it may need to be amended with additional nutrients as well. Once this is done, the substrate needs to be sterilized or pasteurized.
This eliminates any competing moulds or bacteria, and gives your desired species of mushrooms their best shot to establish and grow. The substrate for mushrooms can be placed into various containers. For commercial growers, the most common is to package the substrate into large, clear plastic bags.
Home gardeners can make their own jars of mushroom substrate, using mason jars or other smaller containers, or they can pack the substrate in buckets.
Once your substrate is pasteurized or sterilized and in the final container, it is time to inoculate it with fungi starter cultures, or spores, to begin the growing process.
You will know that things are going well when you begin to see signs of colonization, or when mushroom mycelium grows and disperses through your substrate. The mycelium will take weeks, and possibly months, to decompose the substrate and fully expand through it. Once the colonization is fully complete, the entire substrate will be covered with mycelium. At this point, it is ready for harvest.
Common Mushroom Substrate Materials (and Mushroom Substrate Recipes)
There is a vast array of materials you can use as your mushroom growing substrate. Some are pretty common, and others are a little more novel and experimental. Here are some of the more common substrates currently used by mushroom farmers.
We started out growing coffee grounds, and have been doing that for years. If you reach out to your local coffee shops, they will often keep the spent coffee grounds and provide them for you free of charge. One big advantage is that the process of making coffee will pasteurize the grounds, so you can begin growing on them almost immediately. The coffee grounds growing recipes are some of the easiest as well.
Simply mix a pound of coffee grounds with 100 grams of fungus starter. You can optionally add 20% straws to the mixture to allow better air exchange and higher rates of colonization.
Straw is another inexpensive, efficient material for using as your base. It can be purchased from farmers markets or most places that sell feed or animal bedding.
You may also experiment with similar agricultural wastes, such as cornstalks. You may either grow on a 100% straw-based substrate, or add supplements for extra nutrients. There are a few methods that you can use for making your own straw substrate.
Many people use chemicals such as peroxide or calcium hydroxide, or they rely on fermentation of straws over the course of a week or longer. We prefer using a heat treatment that is both fast and organic.
Start by cutting the straws into three- to four-inch pieces. If you are working with a lot of straw, using a trash-bin grass-cutter can make quick work of the stuff. To pasteurize your straw, place it into a washcloth or pillowcase and soak in 160-degree-F water for an hour.
On a smaller scale, you can do it at home over the stovetop. For larger operations, a 55-gallon drum and a butane burner are used.
Once you have finished making the bales, you will want to get it drained very well. When squeezing out a small amount of your mushroom growing substrate, there should only be a few drops of water coming out. At this point, it is ready for the fungus to spawn.
Coco Coir and Vermiculite
Coco-coir is a material made from the ground-up coconut shells and husks. It is available to buy at most gardening stores. Vermiculite is a yellowish-brown mineral used for retaining moisture, which is also commonly available at garden centers around the world. Mixing the two materials together can make a perfect substrate to grow a few types of mushrooms. Most recipes call for a portion of coco coir and one portion of vermiculite.
For one standard brick of dried coco coir (about 1.5 pounds), add eight cups of dried vermiculite, plus 16 cups boiling water. Soak the materials in a five-gallon bucket for about one hour. Then stir it all together, return lid, and let it cool for four hours before sprinkling with inoculation. Keep in mind, coco coir expands by five or seven times its volume when added water, so you will eventually have much more substrate than initially looked.
All forms of hardwood, such as maple, oak, or beech, provide excellent substrates for different species of mushrooms. Just avoid using wood chips or pellets that come from softwood trees. People use hardwood pellets for pellet stoves and barbecues, and nowadays, most hardwood stores carry these.
They are fairly cheap, in most places, you can find a 40-pound bag for $5. You do not want to get the higher priced pellets made with woods such as hickory or apples that are used to smoke meat. To make a 10-pound slab of potting soil, you need 10 cups of hardwood pellets and 2.8 liters of water. Wood pellets do not have to be sterilized, since the process that turns the sawdust into pellets means that it is already sterilized.
However, most growers will add a kernel to the hardwood sawdust. Wood alone might not provide the nutrients needed for certain types of mushrooms. So, you may want to add in two-and-a-half cups of wheat bran or oat bran, which will give the mushroom additional nutrients. Adding the bran means that the entire mixture needs to be pasteurized or sterilized.
Some farmers are also mixing hardwood pellets with varying proportions of soybean shells to achieve similar effects. This mixture is commonly called “Master Mix” and can yield some impressive results.

Yes, solid pieces of wood could also be considered substrates! Logs are commonly used for growing Shiitakes and other varieties of mushrooms outdoors. Most varieties of hardwood trees work, including beech, poplar, maple, oak, birch, elm, and others. Ideal mushrooms growing logs are three to four feet long and four to six inches in diameter.
You do not want to use any wood that is already dead or dying. Other types of fungi might already have started to colonize the wood, and this could make it harder for your desired mycelium to set up.
Freshly cut logs should also be avoided because trees have naturally prevented properties from developing fungi when still alive. It is best to store fresh-cut logs in clean, dry areas for several months before sprinkling them with fungus.
Cardboard is a great substrate for beginners just starting out in growing mushrooms at home. It is inexpensive and it is easy to find. Cardboard holds the humidity very well, while its crimping allows good air circulation.
Oyster mushrooms and some other aggressive species will grow just fine on just cardboard, though mixing with coffee grounds or other supplements is beneficial for best results. You can even use cardboard to grow mushrooms that sprout from the stalks of oyster mushrooms that you purchase in a food store. All you have to do is lay out your mushrooms among layers of wet cardboard, and mycelium will begin to grow. Growing on cardboard is simple enough that you really do not need a recipe.
Just gather up all the cardboard that you want to use, and soak it in boiling water. Let your cardboard cool down and press any excess water out, then you are ready to add pieces of mushrooms to colonize it. Some mushrooms will grow right through the paper too. Try growing mushrooms on your books as a fun, educational way to teach kids about mushrooms.

Insulin regulates an essential conserved signaling pathway affecting growth, proliferation, and meta- bolism. To expand our understanding of the insulin pathway, we combine biochemical, genetic, and computational approaches to build a comprehensive Drosophila InR/PI3K/Akt network. First, we map the dynamic protein-protein interaction network sur- rounding the insulin core pathway using bait-prey interactions connecting 566 proteins. Combining RNAi screening and phospho-specific antibodies, we find that 47% of interacting proteins affect pathway activity, and, using quantitative phospho- proteomics, we demonstrate that $10% of interact- ing proteins are regulated by insulin stimulation at the level of phosphorylation. Next, we integrate these orthogonal datasets to characterize the structure and dynamics of the insulin network at the level of protein complexes and validate our method by iden- tifying regulatory roles for the Protein Phosphatase 2A (PP2A) and Reptin-Pontin chromatin-remodeling complexes as negative and positive regulators of ribosome biogenesis, respectively. Altogether, our study represents a comprehensive resource for the study of the evolutionary conserved insulin network.
Poxviruses include medically important human pathogens, yet little is known about the specific cellular factors essential for their replication. To identify genes essential for poxvirus infection, we used high-throughput RNA interference to screen the Drosophila kinome for factors required for vaccinia infection. We identified seven genes including the three subunits of AMPK as promoting vaccinia infection. AMPK not only facilitated infection in insect cells, but also in mammalian cells. Moreover, we found that AMPK is required for macropinocytosis, a major endocytic entry pathway for vaccinia. Furthermore, we show that AMPK contributes to other virus-independent actin-dependent processes including lamellipodia formation and wound healing, independent of the known AMPK activators LKB1 and CaMKK. Therefore, AMPK plays a highly conserved role in poxvirus infection and actin dynamics independent of its role as an energy regulator.
We present a resource of high quality lists of functionally related Drosophila genes, e.g. based on protein domains (kinases, transcription factors, etc.) or cellular function (e.g. autophagy, signal transduction). To establish these lists, we relied on different inputs, including curation from databases or the literature and mapping from other species. Moreover, as an added curation and quality control step, we asked experts in relevant fields to review many of the lists. The resource is available online for scientists to search and view, and is editable based on community input. Annotation of gene groups is an ongoing effort and scientific need will typically drive decisions regarding which gene lists to pursue. We anticipate that the number of lists will increase over time; that the composition of some lists will grow and/or change over time as new information becomes available; and that the lists will benefit the scientific community, e.g. at experimental design and data analysis stages. Based on this, we present an easily updatable online database, available at www.flyrnai.org/glad, at which gene group lists can be viewed, searched and downloaded.
To facilitate the genetic analysis of muscle assembly and maintenance, we have developed a method for efficient RNA interference (RNAi) in Drosophila primary cells using double-stranded RNAs (dsRNAs). First, using molecular markers, we confirm and extend the observation that myogenesis in primary cultures derived from Drosophila embryonic cells follows the same developmental course as that seen in vivo. Second, we apply this approach to analyze 28 Drosophila homologs of human muscle disease genes and find that 19 of them, when disrupted, lead to abnormal muscle phenotypes in primary culture. Third, from an RNAi screen of 1140 genes chosen at random, we identify 49 involved in late muscle differentiation. We validate our approach with the in vivo analyses of three genes. We find that Fermitin 1 and Fermitin 2, which are involved in integrin-containing adhesion structures, act in a partially redundant manner to maintain muscle integrity. In addition, we characterize CG2165, which encodes a plasma membrane Ca2+-ATPase, and show that it plays an important role in maintaining muscle integrity. Finally, we discuss how Drosophila primary cells can be manipulated to develop cell-based assays to model human diseases for RNAi and small-molecule screens.
Lipid droplets (LDs) are specialized cell organelles for the storage of energy-rich lipids. Although lipid storage is a conserved feature of all cells and organisms, little is known about fundamental aspects of the cell biology of LDs, including their biogenesis, structural assembly and subcellular positioning, and the regulation of organismic energy homeostasis. We identified a novel LD-associated protein family, represented by the Drosophila protein CG9186 and its murine homolog MGI:1916082. In the absence of LDs, both proteins localize at the endoplasmic reticulum (ER). Upon lipid storage induction, they translocate to LDs using an evolutionarily conserved targeting mechanism that acts through a 60-amino-acid targeting motif in the center of the CG9186 protein. Overexpression of CG9186, and MGI:1916082, causes clustering of LDs in both tissue culture and salivary gland cells, whereas RNAi knockdown of CG9186 results in a reduction of LDs. Organismal RNAi knockdown of CG9186 results in a reduction in lipid storage levels of the fly. The results indicate that we identified the first members of a novel and evolutionarily conserved family of lipid storage regulators, which are also required to properly position LDs within cells.
The Wnt-Wingless (Wg) pathway is one of a core set of evolutionarily conserved signaling pathways that regulates many aspects of metazoan development. Aberrant Wnt signaling has been linked to human disease. In the present study, we used a genomewide RNA interference (RNAi) screen in Drosophila cells to screen for regulators of the Wnt pathway. We identified 238 potential regulators, which include known pathway components, genes with functions not previously linked to this pathway, and genes with no previously assigned functions. Reciprocal-Best-Blast analyses reveal that 50% of the genes identified in the screen have human orthologs, of which approximately 18% are associated with human disease. Functional assays of selected genes from the cell-based screen in Drosophila, mammalian cells, and zebrafish embryos demonstrated that these genes have evolutionarily conserved functions in Wnt signaling. High-throughput RNAi screens in cultured cells, followed by functional analyses in model organisms, prove to be a rapid means of identifying regulators of signaling pathways implicated in development and disease.
The DNA damage checkpoint, the first pathway known to be activated in response to DNA damage, is a mechanism by which the cell cycle is temporarily arrested to allow DNA repair. The checkpoint pathway transmits signals from the sites of DNA damage to the cell cycle machinery through the evolutionarily conserved ATM (ataxia telangiectasia mutated) and ATR (ATM- and Rad3-related) kinase cascades. We conducted a genome-wide RNAi (RNA interference) screen in Drosophila cells to identify previously unknown genes and pathways required for the G₂-M checkpoint induced by DNA double-strand breaks (DSBs). Our large-scale analysis provided a systems-level view of the G₂-M checkpoint and revealed the coordinated actions of particular classes of proteins, which include those involved in DNA repair, DNA replication, cell cycle control, chromatin regulation, and RNA processing. Further, from the screen and in vivo analysis, we identified previously unrecognized roles of two DNA damage response genes, mus101 and mus312. Our results suggest that the DNA replication preinitiation complex, which includes MUS101, and the MUS312-containing nuclease complexes, which are important for DSB repair, also function in the G₂-M checkpoint. Our results provide insight into the diverse mechanisms that link DNA damage and the checkpoint signaling pathway.

As a writer, I love story details. I enjoy figuring out the minute details of my world and the little things that make my characters tick. Even when it comes to research I go overboard because I want to know everything there is to know
As a reader, I adore details. I want to know everything there is to know about the characters I love. The world though? Not as much. I want to know the interesting bits, the bits that effect the characters and plot. Tell me the factoids that might make me pause, or will impress me, or that I need to know to understand your story. Beyond that? Please, leave me a little bit of mystery, even if I say otherwise.
My reader and writer selves used to have the same opinion about details–we wanted more, more, and more. As a reader, I was always left wanting, but I suppose that brought me back to the stories and authors I like. As a writer, I sometimes fizzle out with projects because I become too entrenched in the research and planning parts. Writer me has finally learned to not stop writing when this urge kicks in, instead I write a note directly in the story to look into whatever seems necessary to know at the time.
In any case, this post is supposed to be reader focused.
I’m 3/4 of the way through a book that I can’t seem to finish quickly. I’ve been reading it for what seems like ages and it is slow going. No, the book isn’t long. No, the book isn’t uninteresting. The issue is it’s too detailed. The world is fascinating and the characters are compelling, but the author spends so much time going into finite detail about every single little thing that I can’t make any headway. After reading three chapters in a row I’m tired. And I’m a person who can read a good book in one sitting.
I have no stamina because I get bored, plain and simple. Nothing is happening, by which I mean the plot isn’t moving forward, so I don’t feel the need to put in more time. The book is a general fiction novel that contains elements of magic, and I can tell this is a story written by someone who is not overly familiar with the fantasy genre.
It’s also apparent that the writer and editor(s) were entranced by the magic and the world which is why they’re described in so much detail. I’m glad they were excited, I was initially excited too, but after the halfway point the descriptions are slowing down the story. What’s worse, all of the story elements have been described to the point they’ve destroyed all elements of mystery the story had been working towards.
The author also gave the answer to two character elements that were the only sources of tension left in the novel. I’m annoyed, so it’s a concentrated effort to get the book done at this point. I am committed because it’s a book club read and I am curious to see how it all comes together in the end.
I’m glad I’ve read this novel at this point in my writing life because I do worry whether I’m giving enough detail or too much when I’m editing my work. This book will serve as a good example–over-explaining doesn’t do your readers any good, even if they think they want all the nitty gritty details, like I did at one point.
Remember the iceberg principle: Readers should only see the tip of the ice, not the majority below the surface.

The group, We Are Spartacus, says tougher rules to assess how far people can walk mean many claimants will lose help with transport from April. Under the new rules, claimants qualify if they cannot move 20m – rather than the previous distance of 50m. Ministers say the benefit will be targeted at those who need it most.
About 3.2 million people receive Disability Living Allowance (DLA), a payment of between £20.55 and £131.50 a week to assist them in leading independent lives. The Department of Work and Pensions maintains it is making an out-dated benefit much clearer. And that broadly the same number of people will be entitled to extra mobility help. The government hopes to save £2bn as a result of the switch from DLA to PIPs.
We Are Spartacus, an online campaign group about disabled people’s views on the welfare system, analysed figures from the Department for Work and Pensions and Motability, the organisation that supplies lease cars and specialist converted vehicles to disabled people claiming the highest mobility rate of Disability Living Allowance.
With an estimated 428,000 fewer working-age disabled people would qualifying for the higher PIP rate by 2018, report co-author Jane Young said: “This not only condemns thousands more disabled people to the worry of losing out under the new benefit and the isolation this will bring. It also highlights the lie that the government’s reforms are targeted to support those in need.” She said that of the 173 consultation responses from organisations on the new PIP “only one suggested the qualifying distance for those who have the most difficulty getting around should be changed.”
Fewer qualifying people would mean 160,000 fewer Motability cars on the road, the analysis suggested, which in other research has been linked to economic losses such as fewer jobs in the Motability-related industries, and lower GDP contributions.
Ms Young said: “Disabled people will be less independent, less likely to be able to get or keep a job, more likely to give up self-employment and less able to care for their children or support other family members.”

Opioids: A Multi-Pronged Problem For Schools
Senior Account Executive
The use and misuse of opioids is one of the great cultural challenges of our time. And like most issues, schools are put in a difficult position because of the complexity of your environment. While most organizations can focus on their employee population, schools have the challenge of two distinct audiences: your staff and students.
Having to address the challenges of your staff and student populations can seem overwhelming. These two populations are distinct, not only in how they obtain/use opioids, but the control you have in helping them find a solution. Here are some resources helping you get started:
Addressing opioid use amongst staff is the more controllable of the two groups. As a district you can address access to opioids by putting responsible programs into place for your staff. Your health, dental, employee assistance and worker’s compensation programs have direct ways that you can help. Recently my colleague Cindy Van Asten covered this issue in depth. I encourage you to learn more by reading her article: Opioids: A Cultural Crisis and a Business Risk.
As school leaders, you have additional concerns regarding the opioid issue involving your students. And while you don’t control a student’s access or usage of opioids, it is important to understand the culture surrounding them and resources you may have at your disposal. Here are a few things to consider when it comes to your student population:
- Motivation: For most students opioids aren’t really different than other intoxicants. Many students use them due to social anxiety, peer pressure and to relieve stress. There are also a large number of students that become addicted after being prescribed an opioid after an injury. This is especially the case for student athletes who suffer an injury.
- Sources: Opioids differ greatly from other drugs/intoxicants in the way that students get them. In most cases, they are not obtained not “on the street” but rather from an existing supply in the student’s home, or the homes of friends/relatives. Unfortunately, if this source is exhausted, students with serious addictions are susceptible to stronger drugs such as heroin.
- Resources: Because of the recent public attention to this serious issue, you have more resources to help tackle this issue than ever. Both federal and state governments have made stopping the opioid crisis a priority. From the federal level, check out the resources available on the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) website and the State of Wisconsin Department of Justice (DOJ)education-focused site.
- State Law: Last summer, Wisconsin Act 29 was enacted into law. Known as the “Opioid Antagonist Administration in Schools and Institutions of Higher Education” law, the statute exempts a school bus driver, employee, or volunteer from civil liability for his or her acts or omissions in the administration of an opioid antagonist to a pupil or other person who appears to be undergoing an opioid-related drug overdose. The Wisconsin Department of Public Instruction (DPI) webpage can help districts identify resources to help them implement this law.
The misuse of opioids is an important issue for your staff and students. As you develop an action plan to minimize the effect on your populations, we encourage you to take a big picture approach and leverage external partners, such as government entities, local health care systems and your insurance partners to make sure your staff and students can continue to focus on education.

If you’ve ever wondered about the concept of smart and sustainable motorways, you’ve come to the right place. Below are presented some of the most technologically advanced ideas going around in the industry. So prepare to be amazed with what the future holds in terms of sustainability and its use in roadway networks!
“What are smart motorways?”, you ask.
In layman terms, they are sections of motorways with upgraded facilities like variable speed limits, dynamic hard shoulders, monitoring sensors, and cameras.
The best use for solar energy
Curiosity and the constant need to evolve, which are parts of human nature, have led researchers towards working on making every part of our life easier, smarter and more sustainable. For example, they are planning, and in some case already implementing the use of solar panels on motorway lanes. These super-resilient solar panels will be made the base component for roads instead of traditionally used tarmac. Using the sun as the power source to charge these panels, they will be then used to show speed limits, warn drivers about lane closures and might even be able to charge on-board car accessories and road signs.
The future that we all thought impossible is now knocking on our doors. With really long charging times, most people are put off of EVs due to this specific downside. This could all change with “electric” roads. The main concept behind this idea is to boost sustainable mobility by introducing roads with a special on-the-go inductive charging mechanism. These motorways would work based on a similar concept as to that of wireless phone chargers, for example. A designated wiring system would induce an electromagnetic field through coils under the top layer of the road and work towards transferring energy to the vehicles running above.
These eco-friendly lanes will prevent unnecessary carbon air pollution. Some cities, such as Milton Keynes in the UK have already starting to change their infrastructure when electric buses were introduced. They are charged during the night at depots and also during their stops at various bus stations. This brilliant idea can also be implemented on parking lots too. Sweden has already opened up the world’s first electric-car friendly road back in April 2018. It charges all cars and trucks that drive on it. On top of that, Sweden also aims to completely eliminate fossil fuel consumption in the next 10 years and other countries should try their best to follow the amazing examples and goals that they’re setting.
Motorway friendly bacteria?
There has been a huge breakthrough in the motorway maintenance sector. In fact all roads including motorways will be able to use this innovative idea to decrease the financial burden that constant repairs and hours of hard labour are. Researchers at Cambridge, Bath and Cardiff Universities have come forward with an ingenious solution in the form of “self-healing concrete”. A certain type of bacteria can be used as a healing agent as they help fill in cracks, stopping the damage of the road surface before it gets worse. When moisture enters the gap, the bacteria produces limestone to secure the crack. Just imagine how this will reduce the unnecessary labor and resources.
Scientists and research institutes of the world are coming towards more progressive solutions to build a safer environment for us all. Some ideas are popular and some are not yet successful due to budget constraints and practical feasibility. However, while we wait for modern technology to create swift changes; we need to improve our existing means of transportation and make changes in our own lifestyles. For example, whenever possible, opt for bikes or public transport to reduce the amount of harmful air pollution; encourage others to invest in eco-friendly products and services that can reduce the carbon footprint. After all, we can’t afford to lose the only home we have ever known.

President: Experience of Vinnytsia in implementation of reforms will be distributed throughout Ukraine
OREANDA-NEWS. September 05, 2016. President Petro Poroshenko took part in celebrations on the occasion of the Day of the City in Vinnytsia and congratulated its residents on the holiday.
The Head of State noted that Vinnytsia can be called a European, touristic, innovative capital of Ukraine. The President reminded that 20 years ago people used to say the following about Vinnytsia: nice city, but provincial. “Nobody dares to call it a provincial city today,” Petro Poroshenko said.
According to the President, people come to Vinnytsia today from other Ukrainian cities to learn how to open transparent offices of administrative services, build new boiler rooms, launch new trams and recycle trash. “The key position is the following: people shouldn’t see problems; problems must be solved by the authorities,” he said.
“Government of Vinnytsia demonstrated its efficiency to the entire Ukraine, Europe and the world. Now, we must teach the others to solve problems throughout Ukraine,” Petro Poroshenko noted.
For this end, decentralization has been introduced. “Decentralization means provision of rights, authorities, money and responsibility to local communities,” he stressed.
According to Vinnytsia Mayor Serhiy Morhunov, local budget of Vinnytsia has increased 5 times. In 2013, it equalled UAH 100 million. In 2016, it equals UAH 500 million. “Finally, local communities can decide what to build, how to control government and bear responsibility,” the President added.
“The experience of Vinnytsia will be distributed on the great number of reforms that will be continued throughout the state,” Petro Poroshenko said.
According to him, these reforms are implemented in extremely difficult conditions of war. “I would like to express gratitude to Vinnytsia for its maximum contribution to the defense of the Homeland from the Russian aggressor. 11 thousand Vinnytsia residents stood up to defend the Homeland,” the President noted.
According to the Head of State, contracting for service in the Armed Forces of Ukraine is taking place successfully today. “I am really grateful that we can look ahead confidently relying on the AFU, National Guard and Security Service,” he said.
The President reminded that the entire country had watched the military parade on August 24 celebrating the Independence Day. “It was the report on our achievements in the Armed Forces over the past two years,” he noted.
Before the festivities, the President examined modernized tram designed, inter alia, for people with disabilities.
The event was also attended by Prime Minister of Ukraine Volodymyr Groysman, Vinnytsia Governor Valeriy Koroviy and Vinnytsia Mayor Serhiy Morhunov.

Gjestehus is a living piece of art that will take place continuously during five days in Lademoen church. Join us into Gjestehus and away from daily life as you know it.
St. Olav Festival has invited Trondheim Voices and Wild at art to create a completely new and unique piece of art that examines the theme TIME, inspired by POPludium, which the ensemble performed in the building of the old post office in Trondheim in 2013. During five days Trondheim Voices and Wild at art will be living in the art. Through improvisation, with music, movement, situations and space, throughout TIME, they will examine what happens and what new experiences this could provoke.
Trondheim Voices and Wild at art have invited the musician Christian Wallumrød to Gjestehus in order to compose a new work that will be performed and shaped throughout the whole period, and the most outstanding live sound producer in Norway, Asle Karstad, who through his long collaboration with the ensemble always leaves his mark on the sound of Trondheim Voices.
Gjestehus will open the doors to Lademoen church Wednesday 29 July at 12:00, and will not be closing until we are into the fifth day, Sunday 2 August at 18:00. The church will be open continuously, and the audience is free to come and go as they wish. The music will be the core of everything that happens, through compositions, improvisations, movements and dance.
We have left everyday life as we know it. There are no clocks, nor everyday norm or rules. Gjestehus is life unfolding in the periphery of everything we know.
Here we welcome chaos as we blur the meaning of time, in an attempt to find new language, new music, new ways of being together. Here you can surrender to the flow, to what we do not know. To a state where art, music and life become one.
For five days you are invited to come and go as you please. Gjestehus is open to all and is always open. Feel free to bring a friend, a blanket, something warm to tuck yourself in with, because, if you´d like, you can move in with us, into the art. In here, you decide yourself who you want to be.
Here is no hierarchy, no rank. Gjestehus is a liminal state, an “either-or” – a collection of possibilities, that we can all shape. Is it possible that we, together, can empty ourselves of what we think we are, what we think we can, or who we should be?
This is how Gjestehus will evolve over time, in the day´s rhythm, with the music and together with everyone who is there at any time. The boundaries between musician and audience is constantly unstable.
The music will shape the house, and will be shaped simultaneously by everything that happens. Compositions goes in and out of improvisation, everyday turns into dance and in the dance we will all meet.
Can we find a ground zero together? Can we start something new?
Trondheim Voices is an experimental vocal ensemble consisting of ten improvising, professional singers, all with a background from the jazz course at NTNU. In recent years they have sought beyond traditional venues and formats for vocal music and through their collaboration with Hertling and Cirka Teater, they have extended their improvisational work to include dance, movement, space and situations. Their collaboration with Cirka Teater, Eirik Hegdal and Asle Karstad in 2014 led to two Hedda-awards and a nomination for this year’s Music Theatre Price, for the show Hundre Hemmeligheter. Artistic director Siri Gjære. www.trondheimvoices.no
Wild at Art is an artistic strategy and attitude, work platform, methodology and collaborative practice, which will allow artists to research and produce new spaces and preconditions for life and art. Wild at art creates exceptions and opportunities; situations that may challenge our rules of conduct, norms and identities that we have learned. Wild at Art initiated and run by artist Ann-Cathrin Hertling. www.wildatart.no
Christian Wallumrød music is characterized by a strong tonal language, complexity and beauty. It will always have its own time and energy, which is not defined by the expected conventions, but the desire to create tension and states that stand for itself. Wallumrød´s music is characterized by that it holds potential for change and development through teamwork and improvisation – which is also the core of Gjestehus. Wallumrød has composed for his own and others ensembles since the 1990s and is signed on the ECM label. www.christianwallumrod.com
Asle Karstad is one of Norway´s leading sound artists, and has collaborated with Trondheim Voices for years. Together they were awarded a Hedda-award for best audio-visual design for the show Hundre Hemmeligheter in 2014. Karstad works with all forms of sound, and together with Arnvid Lau Karstad they have developed the system Maccasolve, which allows the singers of Trondheim Voices to move freely while at the same time they are able to control effects live. Produced by Trondheim Voices/Midtnorsk Jazzsenter Supported by Norsk Kulturråd and Trondheim Kommune

While the idiom of a bull in a china shop warns of the folly in allowing a hefty beast access to delicate crockery, a store owner in central Israel found out Tuesday that a cow in a hardware store can be no less costly.
The cow in question ran amok through a store in Emunim, a small agricultural community in central Israel, with the owner saying the unpaying visitor caused thousands of shekels’ worth of damage.
A video of the incident shared on social media showed the animal running down aisles, slipping as its hooves struggled to find a grip on the smooth floor.
As the animal continues to flounder about, a woman can be heard shouting in the background, “A cow has come into the store and it is spilling paint!”
Owner Dudu Goldstein told Channel 12 it was the first time something like that had ever happened to him.
“Birds and the like have come in, but no cows,” he said. He estimated the damage at NIS 3,000-4,000 ($800-$1100).

LHX3 encodes a member a large protein family which carry the LIM domain, a unique cysteine-rich zinc-binding domain. Additionally we are shipping LHX3 Kits (10) and LHX3 Proteins (7) and many more products for this protein.
Showing 10 out of 26 products:
investigated the specific mutations in PROP1 (show PROP1 Antibodies), POU1F1 (show POU1F1 Antibodies), LHX3, and HESX1 (show HESX1 Antibodies) genes in patients with combined pituitary hormone (show CGA Antibodies) deficiency (CPHD) in Turkey
LHX3 is upregulated in high-grade oligodendroglioma.
The downstream enhancer region of LHX3 in regulating gene expression at the cellular level during development, is reported.
Data suggest that low serum FSH (show BRD2 Antibodies) (follicle stimulating hormone) levels in men with SNP in promoter region of FSHB (FSH beta (show FSHB Antibodies) subunit (show POLG Antibodies); -211G/T) result from reduced LHX3 binding to FSHB (show FSHB Antibodies) promoter and down-regulation of FSHB (show FSHB Antibodies) transcription in gonadotrophs.
The present study was unable to confirm a significant association of all of the three SNPs, rs12338076 in LHX3-QSOX2 (show QSOX2 Antibodies), and rs1457595 and rs17032362 in IGF1 (show IGF1 Antibodies), with adult height in our study population.
descriprion of pediatric patients with combined pituitary hormone (show CGA Antibodies) deficiency with a novel mutation in LHX3; the T194R mutation affects a critical residue in the LHX3 protein; study extends understanding of phenotypic features, molecular mechanism and developmental course associated with mutations in the LHX3 gene
This study of the first nonconsanguineous patient with LHX3 mutations demonstrates the pleiotropic roles of LHX3 during development and its full involvement in the complex disease phenotype of syndromic combined pituitary hormone (show CGA Antibodies) deficiency.
This study establishes ISL1 (show ISL1 Antibodies) as a novel transcriptional regulator of LHX3 and describes a potential mechanism for regulation by PITX1 (show PITX1 Antibodies).
LHX3 mutations are a rare cause of hypopituitarism. We report on a patient with a novel LHX3 mutation in exon 2 with the phenotype of combined pituitary hormone (show CGA Antibodies) deficiency with short neck and sensorineural hearing impairment. [review]
A genome-wide association study in 19 633 Japanese subjects identified LHX3-QSOX2 (show QSOX2 Antibodies) and IGF1 (show IGF1 Antibodies) as adult height loci.
Lhx3 and Lhx4 (show LHX4 Antibodies) have roles in suppressing Kolmer-Agduhr interneuron characteristics within zebrafish axial motoneurons
LHX3 LIM homeodomain (show LHX2 Antibodies) transcription factor is involved in activation of the FSH beta (show FSHB Antibodies)-subunit (show POLG Antibodies) gene in the pituitary gonadotrope cell.
Association analysis indicated that the some SNPs studied are associated with the body weight at 6, 12 and 18months of age in Nanyang cattle (P<0.01 or P<0.05), providing evidence that some SNPs in LHX3 gene may be associated with body weight at certain ages.
The isolation and characterization of three polymorphisms of LHX3 are reported.
Results show that specific genomic loci associated with Islet-1 (Isl1 (show ISL1 Antibodies)) , LIM-homeobox 3 (Lhx3), and LMO4 (show LMO4 Antibodies) genes recruit the Isl1 (show ISL1 Antibodies)-Lhx3 complex to activate the transcription of Isl1 (show ISL1 Antibodies), Lhx3, and Lmo4 (show LMO4 Antibodies).
Together, the authors show the antagonistic regulation of the alpha-enhancer activity by Pax6 (show PAX6 Antibodies) and the LIM protein (show PDLIM1 Antibodies) complex is necessary for the establishment of an inner retinal circuitry, which controls visual adaptation.
conditional deletion of Shh (show SHH Antibodies) in the anterior hypothalamus results in a fully penetrant phenotype characterised by a complete arrest of (Rathke's pouch) RP development, with lack of Lhx3/Lhx4 (show LHX4 Antibodies) expression in RP epithelium.
Expression of motor neuron effector genes is maintained by transient enhancers bound by Isl1 (show ISL1 Antibodies)/Lhx3 in nascent motor neurons and Isl1 (show ISL1 Antibodies)/Onecut1 (show ONECUT1 Antibodies) in maturing hypaxial motor neurons.
All E1 sequences from lamprey to mouse responded equally well to Phox2a (show PHOX2A Antibodies) and the Isl1 (show ISL1 Antibodies)-Lhx3 complex. Conversely, E2, the enhancer for limb-innervating motor neurons, was only found in tetrapod animals
We discovered that expression of Cdkn1a (show CDKN1A Antibodies) is expanded dorsally in the pituitary primordium of both Lhx3 and Lhx4 (show LHX4 Antibodies) mutants.
Lhx3-LIM (show PDLIM5 Antibodies) domains play critical roles in transactivation of the Isl1 (show ISL1 Antibodies)-Lhx3 complex by not only directing the assembly of the Isl1 (show ISL1 Antibodies)-Lhx3 complex but also recruiting coactivators to the complex.
This treatment leads to activation of Lhx3 gene expression.
LHX3 interacts with inhibitor of histone acetyltransferase (show HAT Antibodies) complex subunits LANP (show ANP32A Antibodies) and TAF (show TAF8 Antibodies)-1beta to modulate pituitary gene regulation.
The results of this study suggested that Lhx3/Chx10 medullary reticular formation neurons are involved in locomotion.
This gene encodes a member a large protein family which carry the LIM domain, a unique cysteine-rich zinc-binding domain. The encoded protein is a transcription factor that is required for pituitary development and motor neuron specification. Mutations in this gene cause combined pituitary hormone deficiency 3. Alternative splicing results in multiple transcript variants.

Coagulopathy is a condition in which the blood’s ability to coagulate is impaired. This would mean that if someone had a serious bleed, the bodies ability to form clots would be reduced, therefore it is hard to control the bleed. This condition can cause a tendency toward prolonged or excessive bleeding, which may occur spontaneously or following an injury or medical and dental procedures.
Coagulopathy is not just something that happens in the event of a serious bleed, but it is also a condition that people can suffer from and it gives a host of signs and symptoms. It can affect their life and the ability of their body to function correctly.
Examples of problems are:
- Walking difficulties
- Convulsions or seizures
- Vision problems
- Loss of consciousness
- Blood in urine or stools
- Frequent nosebleeds
- Bleeding from the mouth and gums
There are different factors that increase the risk of coagulopathy and these include:
- Anticoagulant drug use, such as heparin or warfarin
- Hemophilia A or B
- Long-term use of
- AntibioticsSevere liver disease
- Viral infections
Coagulopathy is a real problem when trying to control a bleed as we want the blood to clot and therefore plug the wound. Any factors that decrease the clotting ability will make the condition worse.
There is a graphic that is used to show the factors affecting coagulopathy and this is sometimes called the trauma triad of death. The graphic shows three sides, the first is an increase in Latic acid in the blood causing Acidosis. The second is a decrease in the hearts performance and lack of blood volume causing hypothermia. Hypothermia can also be increased by the environment making things worse. And the final side shows a decrease in coagulation causing Coagulopathy.
In the case of a severe haemorrhage in trauma, as the oxygen delivery reduces, this can lead to hypothermia. This, in turn, can halt the coagulation cascade, preventing blood from clotting. In the absence of blood-bound oxygen and nutrients, the body’s cells burn glucose anaerobically for energy, causing the release of lactic acid, ketone bodies, and other acidic compounds into the bloodstream, which lower the blood’s pH, leading to metabolic acidosis. Such an increase in acidity damages the tissues and organs of the body and can reduce myocardial performance, further reducing the oxygen delivery. This cycle will continue and increases mortality rates if the cycle is not broken.
If we are dealing with a catastrophic bleed, we need the blood to clot and reduce coagulopathy so one important thing we can do it to keep the patient warm. Controlling heat loss can be maintained by the use of blankets and clothing to reduce heat loss. Another thing is to find out from the patient if possible is if they are on any blood clotting drugs as this can make it more difficult to control bleeding.

In fact, one in five men exhibited levels of mental distress so high as to be deemed at risk of depression.
This is not 'just another survey' by an EAP provider of financial services trying to justify an extension to existing provision. It is the conclusion of unbiased academics at the Institute for Social and Economic Research (ISER) drawing upon longitudinal household data going back to 1991.
The degree to which mental health is negatively impacted by divorce and separation will certainly be news to HR and wellbeing professionals. It was news to almost everyone, since previous academic studies have not focused on this aspect of relationship breakdown.
But how big a risk to employee wellbeing is it? We know from census and ONS data that over half an employer’s workforce will either be married or in a cohabiting relationship, and that approaching half of these relationships will fail. Thereafter, it can take up to two years for mental wellbeing to return to pre-separation levels.
By virtue of their impact and incidence, divorce and separation are a risk to wellbeing. Notwithstanding the importance of embedding early stage detection within EAP strategy, what are employers supposed to do when divorce and separation is revealed as the primary cause for mental distress?
Existing staples such as signposting to family mediation, or brokering discounted legal fees, are tantamount to leaving impacted and vulnerable employees to their own devices. Consider this: less than 1% of couples divorcing or separating between 1996 and 2011 went directly to family mediation. This is despite the fact that mediation is relatively quick and extremely successful once underway.
Family mediation in its unsupported form (without advising lawyers fronting up and supporting the process) fails to meet the perceived needs of separating partners in conflict. Mediation simply does not fulfil the need to have 'someone in their corner' to constrain the behaviour of the other party.
This someone is usually a divorce solicitor, who isn’t predisposed to sharing each new client with a mediator. Solicitors tend to monetise individual clients rather than individual couples. Such behaviour has both constrained the growth of family mediation and fostered huge reticence around accessing legal advice, which can be expensive.
YouGov’s 2014 Family Law Divorce Survey showed clients paid a wide range of fees, from less than £500 to over £20,000. Such was the degree of price uncertainty that almost 60% of those surveyed said their costs were higher than expected.
It is perhaps not surprising therefore that almost half (47%) of divorcing and separating couples did not seek legal advice between 1996 and 2011. While it is true many separating couples part on amicable terms, others run the risk of being mired in conflict as a result of power imbalance and lack of advice.
It appears that solicitors and mediators have continually failed to align and develop services built around informed dialogue and early stage resolution. Until this sorry trend is reversed, impacted employees will remain little more than one-time shoppers making a distressed purchase in the mall of family law services. And that’s if they turn to the hired help at all. Either way – as the new findings lay bare – this poses significant risk to both employee and employer alike.
Marc Lopatin is a trained family mediator and director of social enterprise Advantage Resolution, which is developing a model called Lawyer-Supported Mediation. It will be made available to a limited community of employers and trade unions from April 2015 on a pilot basis.


M60 Machine gun - information about the real steel taken from Wikipedia.org
M60 machine gun is the successor of machine-gun BAR (M1918A2), which was created on the basis of documentation of MG42, which interested Americans during the World War II.
During the operation began to show problems with the reliability of weapons, which resulted in numerous minor design changes. Vietnamese war was a serious attempt for the M60. In a battlefield became even more apparent weaknesses and deficiencies ukmu M60, such as cumbersome rapid exchange Barrels (require the use of asbestos gloves to remove the old hot new wpychania Barrels and Barrels "to blindly"), poorly constructed bipod, the design team failed pipe gas , Frequent gun jam, poor durability of certain elements inside, and finally the possibility of incorrect submission of a firearm. In the opinion of the authors, M60 was almost entirely unsuccessful arms, despite the departure from the theory of good solutions (and contrary to propagande image created by action movies).
M60 caused defects that they have taken decisions on a thorough overhaul of the weapons. This resulted in versions M60E1 and M60E3, which studies lasting several years, however. M60E3 rifle was then placed in small quantities to arms. In 1995 he constructed versions M60E4, which was to be the successor to earlier versions.
ARES Model K43 MOD 0
The replica was made of metal and high-quality polymer. Front grip is equipped on both sides with RIS rails and tactical hand, which significantly improves comfort during shooting. Bipod has a 3 positions in length. Gun barrel is replaceable in a few seconds (as in acute version). After opening the chamber cover, you can get to plug in the battery, which is located in the stock, you can also mount without any problems dummy tape cartridges (which is included) to magazine box, which is electric load and remains without a problem to hold 4000 bbs.
A replica as its initial speed, it has very good focus and repeatability of shots. 50-60 meters is not a problem to shoot at the target using sights.
ARES K43 MOD 0
It is the spped of bb, while its leaving the innerbarrel of replica. This speed is measured in FPS (Feet Per Second).
1 FPS = 0,3 m/s
1 J = 99 m/s
1 J = 326,7 FPS
|Propulsion / Puissance:|
Indications v2, v3, v6 does not mean the level of advance, but only shape of gearbox skeleton which was used and selected by the manufacturer depending on the capabilities of the body of the replica. For example, a models of the M4/M16 family, MP5, have a v2 gearbox, while the AK family have gearbox v3.
|Modes de tir:|
The length of the replca is measured between the two most distant points of each other. Different models have several of these values, because of its design allows to increase or decrease it length (eg. folding stock or extended flash hider).
This is a value that includes the weight of the replica, magazine and other accessories that are include in set without a battery, charger, cleaning rod, etc., etc.
|Type de chargeur:|
|Capacité chargeur [pcs]:|
Hop-Up system is used for overclocking bb during the shot (putting it in rotation), through which, it extends its flight path. Acting laws of physics make that bb lift up, while the gravitational force take it down. Appropriate adjustment of Hop-Up, will compensate for these two factors, which result in long and straight flight for longer distance and be greater focus shot (to improve accuracy).
Blow back is a simulation system of the cocking lever - it imitates the work of it as the equivalent sharp. This system raises the realism and adds a lot more experience during shooting.

Last night saw the finale of the iTunes festival which was opened by mega-talent, rapper and model Iggy Azalea. Having missed almost an entire month of performances at Camden’s Roundhouse Theatre, I was lucky enough to get a ticket at the last minute.
I’ve always been an Iggy Azalea fan, but she just slayed her entire performance. Taking to the stage in a sparkling ensemble (that I totally wished I owned) – she opened the night with ‘Change Your Life’ along with other known tracks ‘Murda Business’, ‘Bounce’, ‘Pu$$y’ and probably her most popular single ‘Work’. If I was a club I’d have been TWERKING like Miley Cyrus on heat.
Katy Perry then stormed the stage in a black bodice and kilt with a mixture of new tracks from her new album Prism – including new single ‘Dark Horse’, ‘Ghost’ and ‘Walking on Air’ and old Katy classics ‘California Gurls’. She’s since released the full tracklist and I actually can’t wait to hear the album in full. Katy Perry was an artist I could give or take before but after seeing her perform I gotta say I love her a lot more, and definitely like this direction she’s going in…
And while she’s not the strongest vocalist, her ballad ‘By The Grace of God’ about her break-up from Russell Brand is quite touching. And how catchy is ‘Walking on Air’?

North Park to Raise Funds for Haiti
CHICAGO (January 18, 2010) – The North Park University community is partnering with Covenant World Relief
(CWR) to raise funds for the people of Haiti.
An offering will be collected on Wednesday, January 27, during the University’s weekly chapel service to benefit the CWR Haiti Relief Fund
, which raised more than $41,000 in online contributions last week.
“We are receiving so many comments from concerned people saying they want to help,” said director of CWR David Husby
. “I would like to thank everyone for their generous outpouring of support and generous donations for our efforts to help the people of Haiti.”
An initiative of the Evangelical Covenant Church
, CWR works with numerous partners around the world that have established networks and infrastructure to deliver immediate relief following disasters. Within hours of the devastation caused by the earthquake in Haiti, CWR funds were already at work through a partnership with World Relief International. CWR maintains a crisis response fund with World Relief International that the agency can immediately tap to purchase and provide basic necessities like food, water, and medicine.
“We are working with our partners on the ground to offer immediate assistance to rescue efforts and relief for those who continue to suffer in the aftermath of this great tragedy,” Husby said. “I can assure everyone that Covenant World Relief will be working in Haiti over the long term, continuing to offer relief, rehabilitation, and transformational development assistance, working in collaboration with our partners, Covenant World Mission, and others."

A poem by Rowan Blair Colver
Magenta fields of blossoms and heather
To my wide open mind I say, "come hither"
Spill over your hillside into my thoughts
For now is a moment when my dream is of yours
Windswept flat of bountiful bliss
Occasional trees I remember their hiss
As the leaves and the wind will coalesce
Smothering sounds and flickers what's left
And outcropping of shale naked from the heath
How much of your shape is hiding beneath?
What fraction of your form is covered by crust?
How long will it be until you weather to dust?
As I envisage the soil on damp grassy land
Suggested footprints follow, a symbol of man
A sun peeking through from a blanket of grey
And the stones of before I walk 'pon them today

Cleanup crews on November 9 were continuing to pump a film of diesel from Whittakers Creek after a truck hit a falllen tree on the Princes Highway on Thursday.
A large tree on the western side of the highway fell across the highway, crushing the guard rail on the opposite side.
Driver Matt McGovern was hauling cars north and swerved to avoid the main trunk of the tree. He finished with his cabin perched precariously over the bank of the creek and was lucky to escape serious injury.
Fire and Rescue crews from the Far South Coast arrived at about 4.30am on Thursday and worked into the evening to prevent the fuel reaching Brou Lake.
They resumed on Friday morning and hoped to complete the task that day.
Batemans Bay Fire and Rescue team leader Phil Eberle praised all authorities involved in the cleanup.
