Whole Foods has made it official: The estimated 60 percent of store shoppers who also have Amazon Prime memberships will now be rewarded with bonus perks for their loyalty to Jeff Bezos. As has been predicted for months, Amazon’s announcement, made late last night, was that all Prime account holders are now eligible to receive 10 percent off sale items in stores — potentially hundreds of products at any given time. The only catch is that, for the time being, the discounts only apply at the state of Florida’s 28 locations. But Amazon assures everyone that they’ll roll out nationwide this summer at all Whole Foods locations, including at the lower-cost 365 spinoff stores. In the meantime, you’re always welcome to drive to Tampa to get your baby-kale markdown.
That extra 10 percent off was the big perk everyone was expecting, but there’s a second discount that could actually mean more immediate money in your pocket: sales that rotate each week on popular products. The examples the company gave are what Florida shoppers can take advantage of today if they want: Wild-caught halibut steaks are half off, or $9.99 a pound; organic strawberries are $2.99 a pound, a $2 discount; 16-ounce cold brews at Allegro coffee bars are 50 percent off; and it’s buy one 12-pack of Whole Foods–brand sparkling water, get one free.
To get these savings, shoppers have to download the Whole Foods app. They’ll log in using their account info, then get a bar code to scan at checkout. Since the goal here is to lure more of America’s 90 million Prime customers into Whole Foods stores, members can also apparently just ask cashiers to look up their info with their phone numbers.


The standard of etching is excellent as we know from ABER with many very finely but cleanly etched parts with engraved and raised details plus the usual engraved bending lines.
Apart from the front and rear folding fender sections which are in multiple parts with working hinges all the other parts are for the smaller and finer details on the kit.
All the tool clips and brackets are provided in multipart assemblies many with working brackets hinges and separate wing nuts in the usual ABER style that does require a bit of careful assembly but adds an extra degree of detail.
The brackets for the jack, fire extinguisher and shovel are quite intricate with additional multipart assemblies for the track tool, crew step, wooden jack block rack plus detailed parts for the taillight and mounting bracket with the same treatment given to the front horn.
The rear smoke grenade rack is extensively detailed with etched parts and the brass rod supplied as well as the small etched chains provided and the large exhaust muffler has all the retaining brackets replaced with etched parts.
On the turret is a new aerial guard and attachment bracket for the barrel plus brackets to show the turret front vision ports open as well as additional details for the door vision ports.
A very extensive update set with many fine parts that while requiring care to assembly will add many intricate details to the excellent Tristar Panzer IV Ausf.B/C kits.
Additional sets are available for the fenders (set#35186) and Turret Stowage bin (set #35A 105) or for the interior (set #35187) to add even more detail if you wish
Thanks to ABER for
the sample set.
Air Connection carry the full range of ABER update and barrels sets.

And she has been returned to me! After I came back from my holidays, a package was delivered to my doorstep and in it was my precious baby all tightly wrapped in bubble wrap.
However, as a result of my carelessness, I was without child for a couple of months. And hence I was forced to use my phone camera to record my adventures. But, I have tried to enhance the quality of my pictures using Instagram (follow me @eesh_89)!
Anyways, babies and cameras aside, while scrolling through the multitude of pics now residing on my phone, I came across ones from House, a Thai restaurant in Surry Hills, which I had forgotten to blog about. For some reason these were all taken on my phone, so again, hopefully Instagram will aid me in making these photos look presentable.
|Kor Moo Yang - Char grilled marinated pork neck served with Jim-Jaew dipping sauce|
House serves up Thai food, but not the stuff you'd normally expect - Northern Thai cuisine is not highly represented on most Thai menus in Australia, or in fact, most countries. It's sorta like how most people visit the islands of Thailand but skip the more cultural Northern area (and I can assure you you are missing out!!!). However, it's a great alternative to the regular pad see ew and Thai red curry (again, much like the way people chose to travel in Thailand). Alot of the dishes were focused around barbecued meats and drier curries. The spices used were also different, a bit more pronounced and savoury, less sweeter than normal Thai dishes.
|Mok Gai Hua Plee - Steamed curry chicken with banana flower, |
eschalots, lemon grass, galangal and chilli
|Nam Tok Moo - Traditional Isaan salad of thick sliced pork with eschalots, |
shallots, vietnamese coriander, mint, ground chilli, ground roasted rice and lime
|Ping Lin - Grilled marinated ox tongue served with Jim-Jaew dipping sauce|
I remember the real reason as to why we (or more likely myself =P) chose to dine here - for the famed BTS (Better Than Sex) dessert!
|Toasted brioche served with pandan coconut gelato topped with Thai caramel sauce |
and sprinkled with roasted black & white sesame seeds
To answer the inevitable, is it better than sex? Well, that does depend on your own experiences I guess eh ;) haha but it is indeed very sinful and did taste good. The brioche was soooo nice and soft and sweet! I wonder if the brioche is made in-house or bought....
|Nam Kaeng Sai - Thai style shaved ice desert with sweet potato, sweet taro, |
pineapple and toddy palm seed. Topped with Thai caramel sauce and coconut milk
If you like your regular Thai dishes but would love to try something new you should definitely hit this place up (again, much like a trip to Thailand should be in my humble opinion =P). Actually, Spice I Am is the sister restaurant of House, so I guess all the restaurants together provide you with all the culinary delights of Thailand!

P.R. Stout and D.R. Hoagland (1939) proved that mineral salts are translocated through xylem. After absorption of minerals by root, ions are able to reach xylem by two pathways.
(1) Apoplast pathway : In this pathway inflow of water takes place from the cell to cell through spaces between cell wall polysaccharides. Ions thus are able to move from cell wall of epidermis to cell walls of various cells in cortex, cytoplasm of endodermis, cell wall of pericycle and finally into xylem.
(2) Symplast pathway : In this pathway ions move through cytoplasm of epidermis and finally move through cytoplasm of cortex, endodermis, pericycle through plasmodesmata and finally into xylem.
Minerals in xylem are carried along with water to other parts of the plant along transpiration stream. Minerals reaching leaves take part in assimilation of organic compounds and then transported to other parts of the plant through phloem.

Make Room For Nissan NV-Series Work Van Production, Infiniti's QX56 Shifts to Japan
February 3, 2009
Two months ago, we ran a story suggesting that the Nissan Quest and Armada and Infiniti QX56 could be as good as dead when they get bumped from Nissan's Mississippi assembly line in the next year or so. Today, we've uncovered some more information on the future of Nissan's large SUVs and its minivan.
In an email to Motor Trend, Nissan confirmed that production of the Quest, Armada and QX56 will indeed be ending at its Canton, Mississippi, plant in 2010 to make room for the automaker's new NV-Series work vehicles. Nissan says that the next-generation Quest and QX56 will instead be built at Nissan factories in Japan. The company also confirmed that the new Nissan Titan will be produced at Chrysler's truck plant in Mexico.
Conspicuously absent from that list is the Nissan Armada. Nissan did not confirm its continuation or its death, leading us to continue to think it may be on its way out. The Armada suffered the worst sales drop of any Nissan or Infiniti vehicle in 2008, dropping a staggering 50.4% to just 15,685 copies for the year. Only its twin, the QX56, sold fewer vehicles (7,657), but it only posted a 37.7% drop in sales for the year. With the large SUV market cooling off, we wouldn't be surprised to see the Armada torpedoed, but on the other hand, why would they keep the QX56 by itself? We'll keep you updated as more of Nissan's plans come to light.

You guys, I think I’m developing a serious addiction to ice cream shops….
Let’s put it this way – I’m pretty sure my last six dinners out have ended with an impromptu trip for ice cream.
It’s not entirely my fault though. I promise!
You see, Minneapolis and St. Paul have such an awesome collection of ice cream shops that after a good dinner, I’m pretty much helpless to siren’s call of that refreshing scoop.
At this point, I think it’s safe to say my habit has had me sample just about all the cold treats the Twin Cities have to offer. So today, I’m sharing my personal picks for the 9 best ice cream shops in Minneapolis, St. Paul, and the Twin Cities.
- Map of Ice Cream Shops around Minneapolis & St. Paul
- My personal favorite ice cream shop: Bebe Zito
- The Best “Cheffy” Ice Cream: Milkjam Creamery
- The Most Popular Ice Cream Shop in Minneapolis: Sebastian Joe’s
- The Most Popular Ice Cream Shop in St. Paul: Grand Ole Creamery
- For the cereal lovers: Treats
- Best Thai Rolled Ice Cream: Sota Hot & Cold
- Most Beautiful Soft Serve: MN Nice Cream
- The Best Italian Gelato: Cossetta’s Pasticceria
- My Favorite Neighborhood Spot: Icy Cup
- Best Place to Get Ice Cream After Midnight?
Map of Ice Cream Shops around Minneapolis & St. Paul
My personal favorite ice cream shop: Bebe Zito
I’ll be honest. There’s a ton of great ice cream shops in our city. But for my money, Bebe Zito is in a league of its own.
This tiny little shop in Uptown consistently churns out ice cream that’s unlike anywhere else in town. I have no idea how they do it, but each flavor is so perfectly creamy, and so perfectly crafted with generous chunks of whatever’s advertised, that each spoonful is absolute perfection. They even top most flavors with a delicious drizzle of sweet sauce, then sprinkle just enough crumble for added texture. This is my perfect ice cream, and you’ve gotta try it. (Bonus points for the always hilarious Schitt’s Creek puns).
PS – If you can’t make it to uptown, Bebe Zito’s started stocking their pints in local small businesses all over the city. Ask around!
- Address: 704 W 22nd St, Minneapolis, MN 55405
- Website: Bebe Zito
The Best “Cheffy” Ice Cream: Milkjam Creamery
Chef Sameh Wadi is a local legend around the Twin Cities. He first rose to prominence after appearances on the Food Network’s Iron Chef America, and his collection of delicious restaurants around Minneapolis only cemented that status. So you can imagine how excited we were to learn that he was opening an ice cream shop right next door to his always amazing fast-casual concept, World Street Kitchen. Enter Milkjam Creamery.
These days, it’s pretty much impossible for me to enjoy some of World Street’s delicious food without capping it off with the always unique ice cream flavors. Nothing exemplifies this quite like the namesake flavor… instead of traditional vanilla, “Milkjam” is made with caramalized goat’s milk, then mixed with various sweetened condensed milks for added depth. Of course, that’s just one such concoction from a menu also known for one-of-a-kind flavors like thai tea, toasted coconut, and some truly unique cereal and oreo concoctions.
- Address: 2743 Lyndale Ave S, Minneapolis, MN 55408
- Website: Milkjam Creamery
The Most Popular Ice Cream Shop in Minneapolis: Sebastian Joe’s
Sebastian Joe’s has two neighborhood spots in the Twin Cities, and come summertime, each one is known for its line around the block. While they don’t have the longest list of flavors, Sebastian Joe’s has been bringing their small-batch classics to Lowry Hill and Linden Hills for over 30 years.
- Address 1: 4321 Upton Ave S, Minneapolis, MN 55410
- Address 2: 1007 W Franklin Ave, Minneapolis, MN 55405
- Website: Sebastian Joe’s Ice Cream
The Most Popular Ice Cream Shop in St. Paul: Grand Ole Creamery
You know a place is popular when The President eats there. During his 2014 visit to the Twin Cities, President Obama made sure to grab a scoop at Grand Ole Creamery. Not everyone agrees on politics, but we can all agree that administration knew their ice cream!
Grand Old Creamery is a classic. When you first walk in, you might be surprised to smell… waffles? Yep, those are the fresh waffle cones they’re crafting up for each order. The next thing you’ll notice is the seemingly endless selection of flavors, each one ready for a giant serving in a classic setting.
All of this is why you’re sure to find a massive line wrapping around the block on Summer nights. But don’t let that deter you, Grand Avenue is a must-visit.
- Address: 750 Grand Ave, St Paul, MN 55105
- Website: Grand Ole Creamery St. Paul
For the cereal lovers: Treats
If you’re feeling a little more adventurous, just down the block from Grand Ole Creamery in St. Paul sits Treats, an extremely unique spot for ice cream. Treats calls itself a “cereal” bar, and they back up that claim by blending the cereal of your choice right into the ice cream itself!
No question, this is absolutely some of the best ice cream in the Twin Cities and definitely a must-try!
- Address: 770 Grand Ave, St Paul, MN 55105
- Website: Treats
Best Thai Rolled Ice Cream: Sota Hot & Cold
Never heard of Thai rolled ice cream? You’re in for a treat. Instead of the traditional scooped approach, this ice cream starts as a liquid. That liquid’s poured onto a frozen griddle, then chopped and rolled as you watch in amazement. The end product isn’t a domed scoop but multiple cigar-like rolls of frozen cream, usually topped with an Instagram-worthy mix of toppings.
There’s a couple different places taking this unique approach, but for consistently delicious creations, you can’t beat Sota on University Ave in St. Paul.
COVID Update: Sota Hot & Cold closed at the start of the pandemic, and no word yet on the reopening. In the mean time, Wonders just down the block is another great choice for rolled ice cream.
- Address: 394 University Ave W, St Paul, MN 55103
- Website: N/A
Most Beautiful Soft Serve: MN Nice Cream
No summer trip to Able craft brewery in Northeast Minneapolis would be complete without a walk across the patio and into the most instragram-worthy ice cream shop around.
Originally an ice cream truck parked on site, MN Nice Cream advertises itself as “Soft Serve x Toppings x Glitter.” True to their line, this place is famous for packing their frozen yogurt cones to the sky with an absolutely beautiful collection of sprinkles, cookies, berries, gummies, popcorn, bananas, drizzles, and just about anything else you can imagine. It’s a fun experience that you gotta try.
- Address: 807 Broadway St NE, Minneapolis, MN 55413
- Website: MN Nice Cream
The Best Italian Gelato: Cossetta’s Pasticceria
Sometimes, you’re not actually craving ice cream and instead are looking for its Italian cousin – the lighter, flavor packed goodness known as Gelato. And if that’s the case, there’s one obvious place you gotta go if you’re in the Twin Cities – Cosetta’s Pasticceria.
Located inside the monstrous Italian complex known as Cossetta’s, the pasticceria is a timeless pastry bar that will make you feel like you just teleported to Italy. (The marble pastry bar was actually shipped, piece-by-by, straight from Tuscany.) Don’t forget to top it all off with a perfectly crafted macaroon or Italian pastry; they only make the Gelato taste that much better!
- Address: 211 7th St W, St Paul, MN 55102
- Website: Cossetta’s Pasticceria
My Favorite Neighborhood Spot: Icy Cup
Sure, this place is basically a tiny converted DQ, but there’s just something magical about Icy Cup’s neighborhood charm that has me coming back again and again. This spot closes each winter, which means its Summer opening is always a sign that we’ve turned the corner and are headed to greener pastures.
I love their fantastic soft serve, which takes on a custard-like flavor. But their Affogato coffee desserts are legendary, as are their sundaes. (The churro sundae is a neighborhood favorite – two warm churro sticks and all!) Rumor has it their frozen dilly bars are top notch, but I haven’t ever been able to pull myself away from all the other delicious menu offerings to test that theory.
The tiny indoor space with no seating and cute little patio just add to its charm.
- Address: 63 George St W, St Paul, MN 55107
Best Place to Get Ice Cream After Midnight?
If you’re like me, I’m sure you’ve had the ice cream craving hit late at night. Unfortunately, I haven’t had much luck finding any truly local ice cream places that are open after midnight. If you know of any, let us know through our contact page! Until then, as much as I’m disappointed to say it, your best bet would be something like a soft-serve cone at McDonald’s. Help us out, Twin Cities!

ASIC has put to rest speculation that brokers will not be able to lodge their licence application forms between Christmas and New Year.
Last week, ASIC informed industry members that it would close down its offices between 25 December and 3 January (inclusive).
Despite widespread concern that brokers would not be able to lodge their licence applications at this time, a statement from ASIC said lodgements would be accepted.
However, the statement also said ASIC’s telephone support for its lodging services would be unavailable.
“Arrangements are in place to recognise receipt of paper lodgements received over the closedown period,” the statement read.
“Documents lodged during the closedown period will only attract a late fee if due before the closedown period.”

Regarding the “why do licensed sports games come out yearly” question from 248, they have to pay the sport governing body as well, and it’s not cheap or written off as a marketing budget. There was some talk recently of EA ditching the FIFA license rather than pay a fee that translates to a billion dollars over four years (or a World Cup cycle). To a lesser extent, I suspect this is also why I’m buying MLB The Show on Switch next month and also getting it on GamePass.

- Speakers say our Gold Star Aggies set example for us to follow
- Provost Croughan: “Support and improve our democratic society”
- Lt. Col. Stuart: “Strive to uphold the best ideals of our nation”
Speakers at the Davis campus’s early Memorial Day Ceremony last Thursday (May 26) encouraged the audience and others to pay lasting tribute to the nation’s military casualties — including 136 Gold Star Aggies — by standing up for the American values for which they gave their lives.
“Our participation in this ceremony should include serious consideration of a challenging question," Provost and Executive Vice Chancellor Mary Croughan said in her welcome address. “How do we fully and meaningfully honor those who have made the ultimate sacrifice?
“My answer to this question is that we and future generations should extend and build upon their legacy, furthering the noble idea of America and the freedoms we stand for.”
On this day, as we honor our Gold Star Aggies, we remind our campus community of the meaning behind the ‘memorial’ in Memorial Union and recognize an important legacy created by UC Davis students. — Mary Croughan, provost and executive vice chancellor
Keynote speaker Rory Stuart, a UC Davis Health physician and active-duty Air Force officer who received the Bronze Star for his COVID-19 prevention efforts among U.S. troops in Afghanistan, said: “I look back on my own service and I hope I have honored the sacrifices made by our fallen by striving to uphold the best ideals of our nation.
“We must never let their sacrifices be in vain. We must continue to build our communities and defend our democracy, so this remains a country worth fighting — and, yes, dying — for.”
The first in-person Memorial Day Ceremony since 2019 took place Thursday (May 26) on the North Courtyard of the Memorial Union, a building dedicated in 1955 to our alumni lost in military service, from World War I to Iraq, and, most recently, in a plane crash in Mississippi. The crash in 2017 killed all 16 aboard, including Marine Corps Capt. Sean Endecott Elliott ’09, the co-pilot on a flight carrying Marines and a Navy corpsman across the country.
Elliott’s parents, Cindy and John Elliott, now Gold Star parents, having lost a child in military service, attended last week’s ceremony. They also were in attendance when Capt. Elliott’s name was added to the Gold Star Aggies Wall in 2018.
‘Burden in our hearts’
Lt. Col. Stuart spoke of men and women like himself who enlisted or became commissioned officers in their late teens or early 20s, having been told there would be sacrifices made in the service of our country. “We eagerly took on this abstract debt in exchange for the more tangible rewards our future military careers offered,” he said..
“Now as I look back on my 19 years in the Air Force, I have a much different understanding of sacrifice than the young man who first took that oath all those years ago.
“Yes, our military service does bring us wisdom, knowledge and experience — but these do not come without a price. With knowledge we learn the world can be a harsh place. With wisdom we learn to navigate this world. With experience we endure loss and are given empathy for those who suffer.
“These blessings and burdens we carry deep in our hearts. We are all changed by our service and we all ultimately pay, to some extent, that debt of sacrifice.”
“Today, however, is not about us. It’s about them — our 136 Gold Star Aggies and the other countless men and women who have given their life in the ultimate sacrifice for this country. Men and women who I suspect experienced the same excitement and trepidation as I did when I first took the oath of office. Who I also suspect took on the commitment of military sacrifice, freely agreeing to give their life if required, but youthfully confident that day would likely never come.
“As I grow older in my career,” Stuart said. “I find myself thinking of these men and women frequently. I think about their families and loved ones, who endure and bear their sacrifices long after the pomp and circumstance of ceremonies like these have long passed.
“I ask myself how to honor their lives, find meaning in their death and continually show support and gratitude to the family and friends they left behind.
“Veterans Day, the Fourth of July and many other displays of military appreciation are celebrations of the world-changing battles and victories that have shaped our country and world. Today is not a celebration, but a somber recognition of the horrible cost of those victories. Too frequently we celebrate as communities then grieve as individuals. Let today be a day of shared grieving.”
The realities of today
Provost Croughan said people's thoughts and feelings today are inevitably affected by our current moment in history. “For over two years now, we have had to cope with the tragic costs and great burdens associated with COVID-19,” she said. "During the same period, we have seen growing societal divisions of many types across our country, along with extreme challenges to many of our hallowed government institutions and processes.
“Beyond our borders, we are currently witnessing a ruinous war inflicted by one nation upon its European neighbor, a war that, despite diplomatic and other efforts of the international community, continues — threatening an even larger scope of destruction and perhaps global catastrophe.
“All of these realities ... give us a heightened awareness of how quickly peace and societal order can be threatened or lost and of the vulnerability of the country and values we cherish.
“They therefore give us a heightened awareness also of the enormous debt of gratitude we owe to our Gold Star Aggies, along with all of our country’s men and women in military service, past and present.”
She offered three measures of enduring respect:
- Continuing our efforts to make all current and former military personnel feel included, valued and properly rewarded in our society. An urgent part of this project is making sure that all veterans, especially those who are suffering, have access to the quality medical and mental health care that their service has earned.
- Doing all we can to support and improve the peaceful, flourishing and idealistic democratic society that all service members vow to protect. We need to work to heal the partisan divisions that are currently disrupting our country’s intended collaborative functioning as one nation — that is, as a nation that embraces people with different backgrounds and perspectives and resolves conflicting arguments through fair elections and other democratic processes. As part of this work, we must ramp up our efforts to keep our democratic institutions from being compromised or corrupted.
- Advancing the cause of peace for which they fought. In the short term, we must create the conditions to make armed conflict a last and very reluctant resort for settling differences among nations, and in the long term, a thing of the past.
Accomplishing these three tasks will not be quick or easy, Croughan acknowledged. “But if we can work in earnest and cooperatively to advance them,” she said, “we will be extending a legacy that will immeasurably benefit our country and the world. It will also be one that will truly honor the courageous men and women we remember today.”

The 2021 Bugatti Chiron is without a doubt one of the world’s most powerful hyper cars. It’s insane acceleration and speed is only matched by its multimillion dollar price tag. How does it compare to the 2021 Porsche Taycan, an incredibly vigorous super car with a magnificent exterior, stunning technology, and earth shattering performance of its own?
Design & Style
The Bugatti Chiron looks more like a space shuttle than a car, and moves like one. It is outfitted with a sixteen cylinder engine and its cabin is made with the finest materials known to man. It has quad style LED headlights with swooping lines and an aerodynamic frame. Its trunk only offers 2 cubic feet worth of space for cargo.
The Porsche Taycan is one of the most beautiful cars ever made, period. It rivals the 911, and is outfitted with air suspension that is adaptive. Passengers within the cabin will be presented with a 10.9 inch touchscreen that handles many of the vehicle’s functions and it has gorgeous LED lights in front, with scallops along the sides and “fangs” which wrap around its front. It can be purchased in a variety of colors, patterns and upholstery, all of which look fantastic.
Technology & Safety
EuroNCAP gave the Porsche Taycan a perfect five star rating, and for good reason. It is equipped with all the newest safety gear, which includes driver assistance, night vision, a camera with surround view, emergency automated brakes, parking sensors and lane control. Luxuries within its cabin are extensive, and include climate control, leather upholstery, Apple CarPlay, and an audio system from Burmester.
With its incredibly high price tag, you’d think the Bugatti Chiron would come with every safety feature known to man, but it doesn’t. No driver assistance is available, and it lacks most of the safety functions found in the Porsche Taycan, save for ceramic brakes. Furthermore, it is missing a bunch of interior luxuries such as Apple CarPlay or even an infotainment screen.
This is where the Bugatti Chiron shines the most. It is equipped with a quad turbocharged engine that can generate a herculean 1500 horsepower with 1180 pounds of torque, which enables it to accelerate from zero to sixty in 2.3 seconds with a maximum 261 mph top speed. Those that purchase the Porsche Taycan Turbo S will get a 750 horsepower engine that can accelerate from zero to sixty in less than 2.6 seconds, with a maximum 162 mph top speed.
The Bottom Line
The Porsche Taycan versus Bugatti Chiron contest is the automotive equivalent of David versus Goliath. The Chiron has the top speed, but nothing else. It only seats 2 passengers while the Taycan seats five, and the 0 to 60 acceleration times are nearly identical. And given the fact that the Chiron has almost no safety or luxury features to speak of, it doesn’t make sense to spend millions to acquire it when the Porsche offers so much more, which makes the Taycan the winner.

One of the best ways to avoid downtown traffic is set to reopen after years of construction.
Traffic will begin flowing on Lower Wacker Drive by the end of November, the Chicago Tribune reported.
The full completion of the project will come in stages, starting with the reopening of the intersection of Jackson Boulevard and Wacker Drive on Thursday. CDOT officials say the Wacker-Van Buren Street intersection will be closed until Nov. 30, when traffic to Lower and Upper Wacker will be restored at the Congress Parkway interchange, Interstate 290 and Harrison Street, the newspaper reports.

One of the Top Reasons Why the Economy Will Bounce Back in 2011
Falling mortgage ratesIf there's anything falling as fast as energy prices it's mortgage rates. Rates for a 30-year, fixed-rate mortgage fell to a low, low 5.19% last week thanks to the Federal Reserve's pledged efforts to purchase mortgage securities.
That should help housing affordability and the ability of current homeowners to refinance their mortgages.
And even more good news could be on the way if you don't mind Uncle Sam borrowing billions more for yet another bailout: The Treasury Department is reportedly considering a plan to push mortgage rates as low as 4.5% for new home buyers and, perhaps, even for current homeowners who want to refinance.

Lack of Diversity in Literature
|Panel Discussion Features Top Children’s, Young Adult Authors at the Forefront of the “We Need Diverse Books” Movement |
While 37 percent of the U.S. population is comprised of people of color, this diversity is not reflected in the books our children are reading. Only 10 percent of children’s books contained multicultural content, according to publisher Lee and Low Books.
At the sixth annual Gaithersburg Book Festival on May 16, top authors including WNDB team members at the forefront of the We Need Diverse Books movement will lead a panel discussion that explores why there has been such a lack of diversity in publishing, and what can be done to ensure that this trend does not continue.
The festival also will promote greater diversity with the debut of a Multilingual Story Time tent, featuring stories in various languages throughout the day.
“This is a discussion that needs to be happening at book festivals, schools, libraries and homes everywhere,” said Ellen Oh, founder and president of We Need Diverse Books and author of the young adult fantasy trilogy, The Prophecy Series. “This is how we can change the way people read. This is how we help raise a new generation of empathetic citizens. And we are grateful to the Gaithersburg Book Festival for helping us keep the conversation going.”
At the Festival, Oh will moderate a panel of authors that include Aisha Saeed, Tracey Baptiste and Gene Luen Yang. We Need Diverse Books is a grassroots organization created to address the lack of diverse, non-majority narratives in children’s literature. The organization is committed to the ideal that embracing diversity will lead to acceptance, empathy and, ultimately, equality. The movement got its informal start last year as a Twitter exchange between Oh and Malinda Lo, in which they lamented about the lack of diversity in children’s literature. When Oh discussed taking action, numerous authors, bloggers and others in the industry offered to join in. Their efforts quickly grew into a global movement that demanded the attention of the publishing industry, the media and readers everywhere. The collective group planned a three-day event last May to raise awareness, brainstorm solutions and take action (Diversify Your Shelves), with Saeed priming the pump with the first tweet including the #WeNeedDiverseBooks hashtag.
The organization’s current activities include the establishment of The Walter Dean Myers Award and Grants, which will honor diverse books each year; the development of an internship program to help diversify publishing from the inside out, and compiling resources for teachers and librarians. In 2016, the organization will host the first Children’s Literature Diversity Festival in Washington, D.C.
The We Need Diverse Books panel is scheduled for Saturday, May 16, at 11:15 a.m. in the Ogden Nash Pavilion.
|Multilingual Story Time Tent Added to 2015 Festival|
|In addition to the We Need Diverse Books panel this year, the Gaithersburg Book Festival is expanding its own diversity activities by adding a second Story Time tent exclusively focused on stories in multiple languages.|
Sponsored by The Universities at Shady Grove (USG), the Multilingual Story Time Tent will feature stories written in Spanish, French, Farsi, Hindi, Korean and Vietnamese, read by students and educators from USG. The readings will last 20 minutes, and are scheduled every half hour beginning at 10 a.m.

Politics & Prose and Hand & Stone Massage to Encourage Attendees to Donate Books to Benefit Local Children
While you are enjoying the great selection of children’s books offered at this year’s Gaithersburg Book Festival (GBF), consider the children whose families can’t afford to buy new books or have difficulty accessing their local library. In some city schools, as many as 90 percent of students qualify for reduced or free school lunches, which underscores the need in the community for additional support. The Gaithersburg Book Festival, Politics & Prose Bookstore and Kentlands Hand & Stone Massage and Facial Spa are teaming up to encourage Festival attendees to purchase books onsite May 16, which will then be donated to children in the Gaithersburg community.
The list of requested titles will be on display in the Politics & Prose tent at the Festival. All book drive purchases at the Festival will be delivered by Politics & Prose Bookstore to Stephanie Brant, principal of Gaithersburg Elementary School (GES). Brant, in coordination with festival organizers and the City of Gaithersburg, will get them to local students.
“Promoting literacy in our community is one of the main goals of the Gaithersburg Book Festival. We give our local students a rare opportunity to meet their favorite authors, which fosters a stronger connection to reading and the books they love, “ said Jud Ashman, founder of the Festival and Mayor of Gaithersburg. “I’d like to thank Stephanie Brant, Hand & Stone and Politics & Prose for being the driving force behind this new initiative that will ensure we can get books into the hands of our young readers.”
Everyone who donates a book will receive a coupon from Hand & Stone for free aromatherapy on a massage or $10 off an Exceptional Facial. Hand & Stone will also hold a drawing, giving donors a chance to win a free massage or facial.

African journalists visiting Brussels
In the course of a program of taz Panter Foundation I invited 16 journalists from 15 African countries to Brussels for two days of programming to explore the city, ask questions about the EU, visit the European Parliament, and network with various NGOs. As part of the Foundation's program, the journalists also produced a magazine, which you can download at here and download them.
At the request of the participants, corruption and the fight against corruption in the EU was a central theme, and so the program also began with Transparency International presented her work. This was followed by a lively discussion on corruption in Nigeria, Kenya, Cameroon, South Africa, Somalia, Rwanda and Senegal, in which the participants contributed their different perspectives and expertise. The participants exchanged views on specific problems in the different countries and what difficulties exist both at the level of legislation and enforcement of rules.
How to make development cooperation closer to civil society?
This was followed by Act Alliance and DSW representing the umbrella organization CONCORD a discussion on development cooperation and relations between the EU and the African Union (AU). Another topic was the negative effects of the externalization of European migration and isolation policies in Africa.
Appropriately, the participants then exchanged their views with ECRE about European migration and asylum policy and the reality at the European external borders, including the numerous pushbacks in various EU member states. Another topic was the plans to deploy Frontex also in African countries like the Senegal to use. It was also about the so-called "Partnership for Migration and Economic Development" between Rwanda and Great Britain, which by relocating asylum seekers from Great Britain to Rwanda goes a considerable step further than previous agreements to outsource European asylum and migration issues to the African continent. For me, the agreement between Great Britain and Rwanda is unacceptable because it de facto undermines the individual right to asylum.
Exchange about my work as a member of parliament
On Tuesday, I gave the group a brief introduction to my work in the European Parliament's Development and Home Affairs Committee. Here we talked again about the linking of funds for development cooperation and migration prevention, but especially the situation in the Mediterranean. Here we also talked about the cooperation of Frontex with the Libyan coast guard.
Our exchange was again about the fact that the EU, despite a very manageable number of refugees and migrants from the African continent, pursues a very restrictive policy, which unfortunately does not focus on the protection of human rights. This also leads to the fact that an enormous amount of money in the EU is only used for the isolation policy and repatriation, which could be used much more sensibly for the support of refugees in Europe.
Another topic was the immense brain drain from Africa to Europe. I was particularly interested in the solutions proposed by the workshop participants and the measures already in place in some African countries to prevent brain drain.
My colleague Daniel Freund also gave another presentation in which he talked about his work on fighting corruption in the EU and in the subsequent conversation experiences from Africa and Europe were compared, whereby it became clear that the underlying logics of corruption are very similar culturally independent.
Thanks to the experiences and reports of the journalists from 15 African countries, I learned many new perspectives and was able to talk concretely with people who live on the ground about the effects of European asylum and migration policies. It was a very exciting meeting and I hope to stay in contact with some of the journalists in the future.

Free spins casino Lucky Tiger was launched in 2020. Its operator is a well-known brand, Superior Group VIP, which has been working in the gambling industry for many years. Its international operations are based on a license issued by the Curacao Gaming Authority. Users rate it as an online casino with excellent prospects. This article will tell you how to get and use free spins at this casino.
What are Free Spins?
Free spins casino mobile Lucky Tiger are often subject to betting requirements, meaning winnings in these games must be used again to play for free. Free spins are usually valid for a specific slot or a list of specific slots. A player can only use their free spins on that slot. It has its advantages:
- the opportunity to try out new slots without losing your money;
- each user can win real money without giving anything in return;
- new users can learn to play online slots for free.
Nevertheless, the player must be careful because free spins are not always accessible. As a rule, there are mandatory wagering and turnover requirements for free spins, which protect against possible abuse of the bonuses. Thus, free spins cannot be used on all machines, for example, not on progressive jackpots. There may be different restrictions on this. Therefore, we recommend players look at the relevant terms and conditions of bonuses on the online casino's website.
While most online casinos try to force players to play for real money, Lucky Tiger online casino has chosen a different path. The platform's creators initiated a system of gratuitous bonuses to test their favorite slot and give pleasant emotions. Our casino does not force users to meet special conditions for free spins. Lucky Tiger online casino free spins are used to encourage new players.
How Do Free Spins Work and How to Claim Them
The casino, with free spins on registration, prepares an excellent bonus offer for the customer, with which you can get acquainted with the online casino and the corresponding slot. Free casino no-deposit spins will be credited upon successful registration and can be used immediately. This type of bonus is usually designed for new customers who need to be motivated to register at an online casino.
Most online casinos do not require making the first deposit to use the free spins. Risk-free games with free spins and no-deposit casino bonuses are especially popular with players, and many are looking for free spins on all the slots they love. You can't avoid free spins if you want a strategic online casino game.
Casino promotions fall into three large groups:
- bonuses for newcomers;

The Supreme Court Friday held nine people guilty of murdering former home minister Haren Pandya who was shot dead in 2003 while on a morning walk.
Restoring the trial court”s order that had held 12 persons guilty of various offences in the case, it said that the Gujarat High Court”s acquitting the nine people accused of the murder charge was “wholly uncalled for” and was based on a “wrong approach”.
The trial court had awarded jail term ranging from five years to life imprisonment to the 12 accused.
A bench comprising Justices Arun Mishra and Vineet Saran, while appreciating the evidence including forensic, medical and testimony of key witnesses, said that the trial court had rightly held nine persons guilty of murdering Pandya.
Regarding the three other accused — Mohmed Abdul Rauf, Mohd Shafiuddin and Shahnawaz Gandhi — the bench said since the CBI had not preferred to file any appeal against the lower court”s verdict absolving them of murder charges before the high court, “no further interference” was required.
Pandya was home minister in the then Narendra Modi-led Gujarat government and was shot dead on March 26, 2003 near Law Garden in Ahmedabad.
According to the CBI, Pandya was killed to avenge the 2002 communal riots in Gujarat.
“We restore the conviction and sentence imposed by the trial court on A1 (Mohmed Asgar Ali), A4 (Kalim Ahmed), A5 (Anas Machiswala), A6 (Mohmed Yunus Sareshwala), A7 (Rehan Puthawala), A8 (Mohmed Riyaz alias Goru), A9 (Mohmed Parvez Sheikh), A10 (Parvez Khan Pathan) and A11 (Mohmed Faruq) under section 3(1) and 3(3) of POTA and 120B (criminal conspiracy) and section 302 (murder) read with section 120B IPC as ordered by the trial court,” the bench said.
The top court, however, dismissed a PIL filed by NGO ”Centre for Public Interest Litigation” (CPIL) seeking a court-monitored fresh probe in the Pandya murder case.
It also imposed a fine of Rs 50,000 on CPIL for filing the PIL observing that it was not a “bona fide” petition and “bereft of merit”.
“No ground for further reinvestigation or investigation is made out in the matter. The writ petition is dismissed with cost of Rs 50,000 to be deposited by petitioner with Supreme Court Bar Association Advocates Welfare Fund within a month,” the bench said while dismissing CPIL”s plea.
The apex court, in its 234-page judgement, noted the submissions of CBI that motive behind Pandya”s murder and the separate attempt to kill VHP leader Jagdish Tiwari in Ahmedabad in March 2003 was to “spread terror amongst the Hindus” post-Godhra riots.
The court disposed of the appeals filed by CBI, Gujarat Police, accused and others.
Regarding the three other accused, who were not convicted for murder charge by the trial court, the apex court said, “However, with respect to A2 (Mohmed Abdul Raouf), A3 (Mohd Shafiuddin) and A-12 (Shahnawaz Gandhi), the CBI did not prefer any appeal in the high court against them and since A3 (Mohd Shafiuddin) and A12 (Shahnawaz Gandhi) have completed the sentence fully awarded to them by the trial court and in the case of A2 (Mohd Abdul Raouf) as modified by the high court, no further interference is made and the appeal against them is dismissed.” Regarding 13th accused Mohd Sheikh, who had absconded during the trial and was convicted in a separate proceeding, the bench upheld the high court”s order convicting him under section 174-A (non-appearance in response to a proclamation notice) of the IPC.
While holding the nine accused guilty of murder charge, the bench took note of the trial court findings which had lent credence to the testimonies of the eye-witness, A Y Patel, with regard to the killing of Pandya.
It also noted that evidence revealed that some of the accused took training in Pakistan and had various meetings to execute the murder.
The bench analysed the evidence pertaining to criminal conspiracy to murder Pandya, to strike terror in a section of people and the involvement in terror activities.
Dealing with the recovery of .32 bore pistol and matching of fired bullets, which were taken out from Pandya”s body, the bench concurred with the trial court findings and testimonies of medical and forensic witnesses.
It also rejected the vehement contention of the accused that there were inconsistencies in the statements of some of the witnesses and moreover, Pandya”s wife was not examined.
“In our opinion, no dent is caused as Jagrutiben (wife of Pandya) and other persons were not the eye-witnesses. In case of any doubt, they could have been examined as defence witnesses. Jagrutiben, even if examined, would have proved the fact that deceased (Pandya) left for Law Garden at around 7 am and he would have reached there around 7.10 am. No benefit can be drawn from the aforesaid aspect,” it said.
It further said, “The acquittal recorded by the high court was wholly uncalled for and is based on basically a wrong approach. It was incumbent upon the high court to come a close quarter of reasoning employed by the trial court and assessment of the evidence of the witnesses done by the trial court with great care, in an elaborate manner.” The bench said that provisions of POTA, now repealed, on the aspect of recording of confessional statements of accused were complied with as they were afforded an opportunity by a judicial magistrate to record their version as per their wishes.

LONDON — Britain’s Finance Minister Philip Hammond said Monday that a transitional arrangement could be "helpful" to smooth the country’s exit from the European Union.
The government intends to begin the formal exit process by the end of March, starting the clock ticking on a two-year deadline to negotiate its departure and future relationship with the bloc.
Hammond said there was an "emerging view" that "having a longer period to manage the adjustment between where we are now, as full members of the European Union, and where we get to in the future... would be generally helpful".
It "would tend towards a smoother transition and would run less risks of disruption including, crucially, risks to financial stability which must be a fairly real concern", he told parliament’s Treasury committee.
This view was held by businesses, regulators, "thoughtful politicians" and civil servants on both sides of the English Channel, he said.
The European Commission’s chief Brexit negotiator, Michel Barnier, warned last week: "As we don’t know what the UK wants and is waiting for, it’s difficult to imagine a transitional period."
Hammond conceded: "We can only get to a situation where we have a transition if there is a genuine meeting of minds on both sides of this negotiation."
The CBI business lobby group warned last month of a "cliff-edge" where Britain leaves the EU after two years without a new trading arrangement in place.
Hammond said: "It’s not just the business sector, it’s the government sector that has had to think about how long it takes to make changes, hire people, train people, introduce IT changes."
He noted that the possible reintroduction of border and customs checks would require many more officials to be trained, a process that would cost money and time.
Hammond campaigned for Britain to stay in the EU and, while backing the government’s promise to implement the June referendum vote to leave, is widely viewed as pressing for a "soft" Brexit.
Others in Prime Minister Theresa May’s cabinet, such as international trade secretary Liam Fox, want a swift, decisive break with Brussels.
Brexit minister David Davis said last week that Britain would seek to agree both its withdrawal and a future trade deal with the EU within the two-year timeframe.
However, that goal is under pressure after Barnier said that the negotiations must be completed within 18 months to allow time for ratification.
Hammond’s comments came ahead of a House of Lords report released on Tuesday, which said Britain needs to draw up transitional arrangements to carry on trading with the EU after Brexit while they negotiate a long-term trade deal.
"Although this would require clarity on the principles of what the UK is transitioning to, it would not delay the UK’s withdrawal.
"But it would safeguard current trade and provide adequate time for negotiations," the joint report by the House of Lords’ EU Internal Market and External Affairs Sub-committees said.
Negotiating a comprehensive free trade agreement with Brussels would not be possible within the two-year period set out for Brexit talks, the report said. — AFP

Commandant Gen. Jim Amos testifies Thursday during a Senate hearing on the impacts of the sequestration budget cuts on the Marine Corps. / Colin Kelly/Staff
The commandant of the Marine Corps told a Senate panel that long-term, across-the-board sequestration budget cuts — meant to shrink spending and reduce debt — are actually costing the Marine Corps billions of wasted dollars due to inefficiency.
Speaking alongside the other service chiefs at a Senate Armed Services Committee hearing Nov. 7, Gen. Jim Amos said the more than 10 percent in budget reductions the Marines are being forced to make over a 10-year period means they cannot sign new multi-year contracts and are being forced to cancel some current ones, paying a penalty for doing so.
“In Marine aviation alone, it’s going to cost me $6.5 billion of inefficiences,” he said. “That’s four (F-35B Joint Strike Fighter) squadrons and two MV-22 Osprey squadrons.”
Amos reiterated his case for a Marine Corps end strength of no less than 174,000, saying the number represents “the largest force we can afford” — one that would maintain readiness, but accept significant future risks.
While members of the panel each agreed that sequestration is hurting national defense, some suggested that the military still has bloated expenses that could be cut back, including cost overruns in acquisition programs and ballooning military health care expenses.
“Do you know a single soldier, airman or Marine who joined the military because of Tricare?” Sen. John McCain, R-Ariz, said.
The Marine Corps took a hard look at cost-saving measures in fiscal year 2013, vetting temporary additional duty travel accounts and pulling some reservists off active duty. He remains open to other options, he said, and suggested that scale-backs of military pay increases or reductions to basic allowance for housing might be possible.
But he said the Corps still finished the year with all funds obligated.
“There’s really no more fat on our bones,” he said.
Most significantly, Amos said the cutbacks are forcing him to mortgage the readiness of tomorrow’s Marine Corps in order to make sure today’s troops are equipped for action.
“We are headed towards a force, in not too many years, that will be hollow back home and not ready to deploy,” he said. “And if they do deploy into harm’s way, we will end up with more casualties.”

On the last day of 2016, I reviewed and revised my intentions for the New Year. They had been brewing all year, but presented themselves with sharper focus when I allowed myself to slow down and listen to my clear inner voice — one that I have been turning to with greater trust and confidence as the years go by. The year was defined by multiple family and career transitions: one son’s graduation from art school; another’s college semester in Chile; my intentional departure from NC Theatre after nearly 14 years and that which prompted my literary journey of reconciliation: the death of my father last December. I turned to writing to process the death of my mother in 2014 and built a network of women who lost their mothers in various stages of their lives. Our collaboration culminated in an article that was published as a Mother’s Day article in the May issue of Walter Magazine.
The life passage of being parentless was an urgent call to cultivate and nurture more appreciation for my vast community of family and friends, both living and dead. After my formal announcement about leaving NC Theatre, I was overwhelmed by the outpouring of appreciation that I received: emails, cards, offers for lunch, parties and gifts. These messages and displays of support and gratitude created powerful moments of well-being and I thought to myself, “What didn’t they say this earlier?” or “Why didn’t I ask for this sooner?” or “Maybe they were telling me all along, but I was too busy “doing” to fully receive the messages?” I can honestly say that I balanced my relentless career pursuits with time and space for myself and family, but my work style has a decided “bias for action” and I moved with alacrity to accomplish as much as possible every day — perhaps I was moving too quickly?
Slow appreciation is my commitment to an intentional year of personal reflection and outreach by writing a letter each day to people in my life who have shaped and inspired me.
“I write to make sense of my life,” is my favorite quote from John Cheever. I am a lifelong keeper of journals. This dates back to writing and saving handwritten notes to and from friends; pasting ticket stubs and postcards and squashed corsages into oversized books; and finally pouring out my heart and soul onto the page then in the digital realm. This act of writing letters with intentional gratitude and no expectation has provided more meaning and structure to my days and has resulted in some incredible reconnections and discoveries. I am now two-thirds of the way through my project and I feel my heart opening up a bit wider each time I reach out, reflect and reconcile memories from the past that have been tucked away. My goal is to create a ripple effect of well-being at a time of tumultuous transition in the world. Moving from cynicism to reverence has been one of the joyful outcomes of the journey.And it’s not over yet.

Nikolakopoulou, Dutta, Chen, Miller, Trapp: Activated microglia enhance neurogenesis via trypsinogen secretion. in Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences of the United States of America 2013
CXCL13 acts on CXCR5 (zeige CXCR5 Proteine) to increase p38 (zeige CRK Proteine) activation and further contributes to the pathogenesis of orofacial neuropathic pain
This study indicated that CXCL13 may be pathogenically involved in Clostridium difficile infection (CDI) and served as a potential new biomarker for diagnosis and prognosis in CDI.
CXCL13 has a role in directing B-lymphocyte (zeige AKAP17A Proteine) migration
CXCL13 and CXCR5 (zeige CXCR5 Proteine) contribute to orofacial pain via ERK (zeige EPHB2 Proteine)-mediated proinflammatory cytokines production.
High glucose could inhibit osteogenic differentiation of mesenchymal stem cells by lncRNA AK028326 mediated down-regulation of CXCL13 expression.
Data demonstrate that CXCL13 is not essential in mounting effective peripheral humoral responses, but specifically promotes CNS accumulation of differentiated B cells.
overexpression of CXCL13 is associated with myasthenia gravis.
Deficiency in Cxcl13 or its receptor, Cxcr5 (zeige CXCR5 Proteine), significantly attenuated benzo(a)pyrene-induced lung cancer in mice, demonstrating CXCL13's critical role in polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon-induced lung carcinogenesis.
Blockade of CXCL13 significantly reduced urine protein, serum creatinine, and dramatically attenuated renal pathology injury in lupus nephritis in mice.
Results from this study suggest blockade of CXCL13 and BAFFR (zeige TNFRSF13C Proteine) together may be an effective therapeutic strategy in preventing salivary hypofunction and reducing autoantibody titers and sialadenitis in patients with Sjogren's syndrome
Study suggested that maternal rs355687 variant in CXCL13 gene was associated with decreased risk of HBV intrauterine infection compared to those with CC genotypes.
Elevations in serum MDC (zeige ADAM11 Proteine) and BLC were independently associated with the significant risk of early stage lung adenocarcinoma, even in non-smokers and in stage IA patients.
Studied CSF (zeige CSF2 Proteine) levels of B-lymphocyte Chemoattractant CXCL13 in children with Lyme neuroborreliosis (LNB), and found CSF (zeige CSF2 Proteine) CXCL13 levels were substantially higher in children with LNB compared with children with other diagnoses.
This study indicated that CXCL13 rather than IL-31 (zeige IL31 Proteine) may have clinical values of diagnosis and prognosis in hepatocellular carcinoma.
CXCL13/CXCR5 (zeige CXCR5 Proteine) mediated the aggregation of B cells, that directed the aberrant humoral immune responses via the formation of ectopic germinal centers, which suggests a molecular mechanism of neurological damage in neurosyphilis.
High CXCL13 expression is associated with B-cell Lymphoma.
CCL21 (zeige CCL21 Proteine) and CXCL13 levels are increased in the minor salivary glands of patients with Sjogren's syndrome.
we demonstrate that PKCepsilon (zeige PRKCE Proteine) cooperates with the loss of the tumor suppressor Pten for the development of prostate cancer in a mouse model. Mechanistic analysis revealed that PKCe (zeige PRKCE Proteine) overexpression and Pten loss individually and synergistically upregulate the production of the chemokine (zeige CCL1 Proteine) CXCL13, which involves the transcriptional activation of the CXCL13 gene
During remission, serum CXCL13 and BAFF (zeige TNFSF13B Proteine) levels have not decreased to normal in neuromyelitis optica patients, and B-cell-related autoimmune response persists. Immunosuppressive therapy decreased serum BAFF (zeige TNFSF13B Proteine) levels, but did not affect CXCL13 expression.
B lymphocyte chemoattractant, independently cloned and named Angie, is a CXC chemokine strongly expressed in the follicles of the spleen, lymph nodes, and Peyer's patches. It preferentially promotes the migration of B lymphocytes (compared to T cells and macrophages), apparently by stimulating calcium influx into, and chemotaxis of, cells expressing Burkitt's lymphoma receptor 1 (BLR-1). It may therefore function in the homing of B lymphocytes to follicles.
