AbstractBackground: Autonomic imbalance constituting a fundamental feature of heart failure (HF) has been assessed mainly at the periphery. Changes in the functioning of autonomic centers in the brain remain unclear. We investigated the molecular elements of parasympathetic system, i.e. α7 nicotinic acetylcholine receptor (α7nAChR) and enzymes metabolizing acetylcholine (acetylcholinesterase, AChE, choline acetyltransferase, ChAT) in medulla oblongata (MO) of male pigs with chronic tachycardia-induced cardiomyopathy. Methods: The mRNA levels of AChE, ChAT, α7nAChR and X-box binding protein 1 (spliced form, XBP1s) in MO were analyzed using qPCR, AChE and ChAT activities using spectrophotometry, proteasome activity using fluorometry, and the protein level of α7nAChR using Western blotting. Results: The development of systolic HF was accompanied by an increase in circulating catecholamines, a decrease in the AChE and α7nAChR mRNA in MO, an increase in AChE activity (all p < 0.05), and no change in either the mRNA or activity of ChAT. Both circulating catecholamine levels and AChE activity were inversely related to systolic function of left myocardial ventricle (p < 0.05). The level of α7nAChR protein in MO and its cytoplasmatic fraction were higher in pigs with moderate and severe HF as compared to the other animals (p < 0.01). There was no difference in proteasome activity in MO between diseased and healthy animals, whereas the XBP1s mRNA decreased during HF progression (p < 0.05). Conclusions: Molecular elements of parasympathetic system are changed within the medulla oblongata during the progression of systolic non-ischemic heart failure in male pigs, indicating a functional link between MO and heart in HF.

If you live in Los Angeles and are able to take advantage of the three day President’s Day weekend, you might want to make sure your travels don’t take your near the 405 Freeway. This weekend will see something that officials are referring to as Jamzilla, a sequel/reboot of Carmageddon. Starting tomorrow night at around 10 pm, the section of the freeway known as the Sepulveda Pass will see its north-heading lanes closed off so that the area can be paved and striped anew. The Metropolitan Transportation Authority of Los Angeles County is advising that all persons who don’t have to head that way stay clear this weekend.

Lawmakers: U.S., DOD still not taking cybersecurity seriously
Stars and Stripes February 11, 2011
WASHINGTON — The U.S. still is not well equipped to respond to cyberwarfare attacks and is not taking the threat seriously enough.
That is the blunt assessment of two key congressmen charged with overseeing the Defense Department’s efforts to protect U.S. computer systems, setting a tone likely to undergird cybersecurity discussions on Capitol Hill the rest of the year.
In Congress, the legislative calendar is under way picking up last year’s unfinished business of determining who in the federal government is in charge of the various cyberwarfare responsibilities.
“We know that cyber is a new domain of vandalism, of crime, of espionage, and yes, even warfare. But I’m afraid the country is not very well equipped to deal with any of those challenges,” said Rep. Mac Thornberry, R.-Texas, chairman of the House Armed Services Committee’s newly named Subcommittee on Emerging Threats and Capabilities, in its first hearing of the year, on Friday.
Subcommittee members came out of winter hibernation swinging, and asking a question rarely heard on Capitol Hill: What role will DOD play in a computer attack on the nation?
“If a formation of planes or hostile-acting ships came barreling toward a factory or refinery in the U.S., we know pretty well what we expect the military to do,” said Thornberry. “But what do we expect — or should we expect — if a bunch of malicious, or potentially malicious, packets come barreling toward that same factory or facility in cyber space?”
There is still no clear agreement between Congress, the White House, Pentagon, CIA, Department of Homeland Security and other industry stakeholders regarding who should watch over what networks and respond in various cyberattack scenarios.
Two bills introduced last year aim to lay out explicit federal authorities. Meanwhile, the administration, asserting itself, assigned observers from DOD and DHS to sit in each other’s cybersecurity operations to act as good-faith monitors.
On Friday, the panel asked more specifically if anyone made progress in determining how the DOD should respond to attacks to the national civilian power grid that could cripple military bases, a top concern for authorities including Vice Adm. Barry McCullough, commander of the Navy’s 10th Fleet, who warned Congress in September.
“I have to say, I’m afraid many in industry and in government still fail to appreciate the urgency of this threat,” said ranking Democrat James Langevin, of Rhode Island. “Since I began working on this issue, I’ve been disappointed by the overall lack of serious response and commitment to this issue.”
Many bases have one source of power, Langevin said, with few backup systems, and so would be out of commission weeks or months if a grid attack were successful.
“I don’t think there’s any question but that [a power grid attack] is a real national security threat that we have to pay attention to,” said CIA Director Leon Panetta, one day earlier, under questioning from the House Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence.
But electric groups and the DOD are still in early discussions, prioritizing, for instance, the parts of the military that are most dependent on the civilian power grid, Gerry Cauley, chief executive officer of the North American Electric Reliability Corporation, told the panel. In short, the government has not adequately defined which agencies are in charge.
“I think it’s based on ad-hoc relationships, not clear lines of responsibility and authority,” Cauley said.
Some cautioned against protecting civil liberties and private information as the government determines rules for sharing information between the military and civilian agencies.
“Just as the military does not police our streets, it should not police our civilian cyber infrastructure,” said Rep. Hank Johnson, Georgia Democrat.

Childhood memories: skiing on Sundays with your familia. Getting all the stuff into my mother's small car, driving up to Bymarka - the forest. Skiing trough the forest, getting tired and eating oranges my mother brought with her in her backpack to get some energy back. In the end, finding a nice spot, make some sitting places in the snow, make a fire.We would warm the sausages we brought with us and drink warm chocolate.
I went skiing the other day. But on my own. It was quiet and nice and I got tired and slept well afterwards. I took some pictures of forest, and a man walked by, looked at me and said "its only snow". What a Norwegian…
When I was heading back home around three o'clock it was getting dark and they lit the streetlights you find along the paths in the forest. Won't let some darkness stop us from going skiing you know… November and cold winds and snow and cups of tea and exams. This is the time we put out sunflower seeds outside our windows to the birds that stays in Norway for the winter. People have already been staying inside, at home for so long and there are still some moths to come before the craziness of spring time in Norway when people start acting like cows being let out on the mountains for a whole summer after the long winter in their farmhouse. It's something to see.

Here at WWRL 1600, we only bring the latest information only from the most reliable and trustworthy sources. We do not condone the spread of so-called fake news, which have contributed to the divisiveness of our society.
At this point in time, what we need to most is for us to be united. We should stand together against all the deceit and injustices that continue to plague the country. The only tool at our disposal is the truth, and this truth will be the one to guide us in our call for transparency and justice.
The state of our country’s politics and finance matters not only for the upper and middle class citizens, but also for the incapable ones. We do not only report the rise of the economy or the performance of different industries. We bring you information about important things that are felt by everyone, and not just by the privileged few.
Each one of us has an important role to play in the society, and there is no reason for some of us to feel neglected or left behind. The government, while it may be trying to address all issues that we are facing, is not new to instances of making the ordinary people feel abandoned. The way to fix this is to make the public well-informed, and that is what this blogging site aims to do today.


Battery life, range etc is much of a muchness. If anything – the running time is EXTENDED with a boosted car.Thecircuiton board the car is simply a3ch (instead of 2ch) to allowboost. Without the boostbutton depressed thecircuit pulses power to the rearwheels (hundreds pf times per second), instead of supplying a constant 1.2v. That’s how you get slightly better battery life!
When the turbo button is pressed down, the car behaves like a “normal” Char-G and screams off into the distance. The big benefit that you will pick up from the Booster car is when racing on a circuit.Leave the turbo button off around the curvey sections of the track and then punch it it for the faster sections of the track. It just offers you so much more control.

Milana May’s “Crazy Boy” is a haunting effort that immediately draws fans in through a blending of atmospheric and expansive instrumentation. A pop-forward set of vocals do two distinct things over the course of the track’s duration. These vocals add considerably to the harmonies achieved with the song, along with providing a distinct counterpoint to the instrumental arrangement. Crazy Boy is a powerful crossover track in that it can hang alongside the more dance-infused pop efforts but it has considerably more substance than standard radio fare. There is a certain depth to the song that will require fans to play it multiple times before hearing everything that is contained within.

Since Linda had visited the Mauritshuis some 40+ years ago we finally had planned to visit the Mauritshuis. She told a story that one of her classmates had fainted after seeing ‘THE ANATOMIC LESSON” by Rembrandt, but the real reason to visit was not the story but the truly marvelous collection of 17th century art.
Most visitors interested in art who visi the Netharlnds go to visit the Rijksmuseum, but at a much smaller scale the Mauritshuis covers the same period and personally i think the collection is even better that that of the Rijksmuseum.
The Mauritshuis has in its collection THREE! iconic Vermeer paintings of the aprox. 35 known and dedicated to the artist, plus……these are among the highest rated of the artist including ” GEZICHT OP DELFT” and “GIRL WITH THE PEARL EARRING”. If you expect rows a viewers looking at this work of art…..you are wrong….my wife was the only one present in the room and admiring the painting from up close. This is the way a painting should be viewed and not the way the Mona Lisa is presented.
For me personally i prefer the Vermeer at anytime i hade to chose. Arguably a far more intriguing work of art and one i admire since the time i first saw it. My taste in art changed, but the admiration for Vermeer is still alive.
Beside many publications on Modern Art www.ftn-books.com also has a small collection on 17th century art.

By Petronella Sibeene SWAKOPMUND Prime Minister Nahas Angula has emphasized the need for stakeholders in the Technical and Vocational Education and Training (TVET) system to seriously provide productive skills to the disadvantaged and marginalized groups of society to curb the worrying high unemployment rate among the youth. The high unemployment rate among the youth in most countries, including Namibia, remains a growing challenge mainly brought about, among others, by school leavers' lack of access to further education and training. "The youth unemployment challenge must be viewed against a backdrop of the shortage of middle-level technical skills," said Angula. Instead of just training for the modern industry, the Prime Minister reiterated, vocational training centres should battle youth unemployment, and training should be directed towards development and growth of self-employment, and the informal and SME sectors. This is likely to result in balanced social and economic development, he added. Namibia is described as a middle-income country with per capita income of US$2 000. Because of that, the country receives less if no development aid from any donor country or institution abroad. This has put the country at a disadvantage, because despite being disqualified from receiving such support, there are a lot of areas that need urgent attention in order to bring about economic development. Angula says the notion that Namibia is a better off country has negative effects and the only solution that could be relied upon for the economy to grow would be skills development. "We should give high priority to vocational training. There is a great need for a skilled labour force and technical and vocational training is the answer," the Premier stated. One way Namibia has responded to the need for skills development is through the establishment of the Foundation for Community Skills Development that has created a network of centres (COSDECs). With the youth unemployment rate in the country standing at over 37%, the centres are proving popular with the youth. Angula, who yesterday officially opened the 4th Annual Technical and Vocational Education and Training conference in Swakopmund, said the event is important to the country as it will through various inputs of the 180 educational experts from 17 countries add value to the current government's efforts to develop the TVET system. The TVET reforms under the Education and Training Sector Improvement Programme (ETSIP) include, among others, the legal establishment and operationalization of the Namibia Training Authority, diversification of TVET to cover all other occupations not only the blue-collar trades, and the introduction of a flexible, demand-driven and market-oriented competency based system that caters for all target groups including the marginalized and those already in employment. "Your coming here is a plus to the country's efforts to be innovative ... because we rely on ourselves and that is the plight of Namibia," he added. Meanwhile, the Prime Minister called on the private sector to participate in TVET initiatives. Without the support of the private sector, he added, government cannot realize its developmental goals. Just like it has done with the other national development plans, the private sector can similarly play a key role in the planning and implementation of TVET reforms. Angula acknowledged that government resources alone will never be adequate for the development of an effective, modern and dynamic TVET system. This sector contributes both financially and through the provision of facilities and other services. Besides, the realization of the country's Vision 2030 and the National Development Plans' success depends largely on the active participation of all sectors of the economy. Education and Training sector is no exception. The conference that ends today reviewed the status and the role of the private sector in TVET. Among other issues deliberated upon was how best role-players in the sector can align training with the world of work to ensure that vocational training is precisely suited to the skilled labour requirements of both the private and public sectors. Under the theme, "Maximizing Effectiveness of Technical Vocational Education and Training (TVET)", the conference was attended by delegates from Angola, Botswana, Malawi, Zambia, Zimbabwe, Mauritius, Mozambique, Swaziland, South Africa, Kenya, Uganda, Ghana, Australia, Canada, the United Kingdom, and Germany.

UEFA imposes EUR 150,000 fine on RFU, suspended Euro 2016 disqualification on Russian national team
The UEFA disciplinary body has decided to impose a EUR 150,000 fine on the Russian Football Union (RFU) and a suspended disqualification on the Russian national team over the disturbances staged by Russian football fans following the Russia-England Euro 2016 match on June 11.
Following its meeting today in Paris, "the independent UEFA Control, Ethics and Disciplinary Body (CEDB) decided to impose the following sanctions: a fine of EUR 150,000 and a suspended disqualification of the Russian national team from UEFA EURO 2016 for the crowd disturbances," UEFA said in a report circulated on Tuesday.
The disqualification may be applied if Russian football fans once again provoke crowd disturbances during any of Russian national team's remaining matches at UEFA Euro 2016.
This decision concerns only the incidents that occurred inside the stadium in Marseille, where Russian fans broke into sectors where England fans were sitting and engaged in a skirmish, UEFA said.

Researchers have discovered that increasing levels of the sleep hormone melatonin reduces the ability of insulin-producing cells to release insulin. Also, they found the effect is stronger in people who carry a particular gene variant that is linked to higher risk for type 2 diabetes.
The study, led by Lund University in Sweden, is published in the journal Cell Metabolism.
The findings mark the culmination of work that goes back to 2009, when Lund researchers showed that a variant of the gene that codes for the protein known as melatonin receptor 1B (MTNR1B) increases the risk for type 2 diabetes.
Melatonin is a hormone that helps to maintain our day-night cycle, or circadian rhythm, by regulating other hormones. The amount of melatonin in our blood varies through the day. It is affected by light and peaks during the darkest time, at night.
Insulin is a hormone that regulates blood sugar levels. It is produced and released by the beta cells of the pancreas, in response to spikes in blood sugar, such as during digestion.
In type 2 diabetes, which accounts for nearly 90 percent of diabetes, the body either does not produce enough insulin, or cells become less effective at responding to it, which increases demand on the beta cells to produce more. Both of these result in increased levels of blood sugar, which eventually causes serious damage to organs.
In the new study, the researchers worked with lab-cultured beta cells and mice to show that insulin-producing cells respond to increased levels of melatonin by reducing the amount of insulin they release. These signals are conveyed to them via the MTNR1B melatonin receptor proteins on their cell surfaces.
The researchers also showed mice with disrupted MTNR1B receptors produced more insulin.
Finally, the team demonstrated that a gene variant carried by around a third of the population
For this last part of the study, the team recruited 23 healthy carriers of the gene variant and 22 healthy non-carriers. All participants were around the same age, had the same body mass index (BMI), and showed no differences in family history of diabetes.
For 3 months, the participants took 4 milligrams of melatonin before they went to bed at night. The researchers compared blood sugar and insulin levels taken at the start and end of the treatment period.
After 3 months of melatonin treatment, all participants had higher levels of blood sugar. However, these were especially higher in the carriers of the risk gene, who also showed lower levels of insulin secretion.
The researchers note that people who work overnight shifts are more prone to metabolic diseases like type 2 diabetes.
Senior investigator Hindrik Mulder, a professor specializing in molecular metabolism at Lund’s Diabetes Center, says their findings could explain why the risk of developing type 2 diabetes is higher in people who work overnight or who have sleeping disorders.
He also suggests melatonin’s apparently stronger effect on people who carry the risk gene could explain why they are also at increased risk of developing type 2 diabetes.
“It is perhaps therefore less suitable for carriers of the risk gene to work overnight shifts, as the level of melatonin will probably increase at the same time as the effects of the increase are enhanced. There is still no scientific support for this theory, but it ought to be studied in the future, on the basis of our new findings.”
Prof. Hindrik Mulder
The researchers note that theirs is one of the first studies of its kind in type 2 diabetes research where participants have been recruited based on their genetic makeup.

The IFBB Open-Bodybuilding, California Pro is set to take place this weekend; though there doesn’t appear to be any clear cut favorite heading into the show, there are a few interesting story-lines that are set to play out onstage.
Perhaps the most intriguing subplot of the weekend, will be the pro debut of Dallas McCarver. After earning his pro card back at the 2012 North American Championships, where he took the bodybuilding world by storm, winning the overall title at just twenty-one years old. It’s been nearly three years since we last saw McCarver take a bodybuilding stage, and since linking up with Coach Hany Rambod we’ve seen him pack on a frightening amount of dense, hard muscle. Whether or not he’s ready to stand shoulder-to-shoulder with some of the IFBB’s battled tested veteran remains yet to be seen.
McCarver might be an unknown commodity, but names like Brad Rowe, An Nguyen, and Keith Williams round out a list of athletes who look to be in position to battle it out in the first callout. Rowe may have been the most impressive rookie we saw take the stage the entire 2014 season, and clearly conditioning is not an issue for Brad; however, unless he spent his offseason packing on appreciable amounts of muscle, he may find it difficult to notch his first pro win in California, though he is definitely in contention, if not the front-runner.
As for Nguyen, he seems to fall into the ‘all or nothing’ category every time he steps onstage. If he nails it in California, he can wreak havoc, but far too often we’ve seen him fall short of reaching the bar that we all know he’s capable of.
Williams is looking much sharper than he has in the past, and at 260 plus pounds onstage, has a chance to simply overwhelm a lineup devoid of anyone capable of matching him in the size department outside of McCarver.
No matter how the puzzle pieces manage to align themselves, post this weekend’s contest we should have a much clearer picture about how the events are going to shape up, as we head into the second half of the year and the coveted Olympia.

Click here to view the 2012-13 schedule
COOKEVILLE, Tenn. – The Tennessee Tech men's basketball 2012-13 campaign won't be remembered for easy opponents, as the Golden Eagles face rigorous tests in the Big 12, SEC, and Horizon League in addition to the two-division Ohio Valley Conference.
"I think it's one of the hardest schedules we've had in recent memory," said second-year head coach Steve Payne. "A lot of the teams we're playing are picked to finish near the top of their leagues from the Big South to the Atlantic Sun to the Horizon League. I think we certainly have our hands full."
Perhaps the first thing that jumps out off the Golden Eagles' schedule this season is a brutal five-game road trip in the month of December. Tech will open the month with a two-game home stand before hitting the road on Dec. 8 against Gardner-Webb in Boiling Springs, N.C. The team won't make another appearance at the Eblen Center before Jan. 3 when it returns for an Ohio Valley Conference tilt against Tennessee State.
Among those games on the lengthy trip away from home are trips to Wisconsin-Milwaukee on Dec. 15 and the OVC opener at Jacksonville State on Dec. 29. The hardest stretch of the five-game journey begins in Milwaukee and crawls its way south just three days later to the home of the Auburn Tigers on Dec. 18. The Golden Eagles will get no time to rest either, as they leave Auburn and head west for a Dec. 22 appointment with Oklahoma State in Stillwater, Okla.
Besides the meeting with UW-Milwaukee, Tech will face two other Horizon League opponents, including very strong Wisconsin-Green Bay squad on Dec. 6 in Cookeville. The Golden Eagles will also make their way north for a visit with Loyola Chicago on Nov. 28.
"Wisconsin-Green Bay, whose coming here, will be picked at the top of that league whether it's first, second, or third," said Payne. "That's certainly going to be a big challenge. Then we have road games at Wisconsin-Milwaukee, which is where Bruce Pearl came from, and Loyola Chicago, which is traditionally a very strong program out of the city of Chicago."
Among Tech's first opponents, Coastal Carolina will make a Nov. 15 trip to Cookeville, its first since the 1987-88 season. The series is tied 1-1 with both games during that season.
"Coastal Carolina will be another great test," said Payne. "They're always picked to finish at the top of the Big South and this season likely won't be any different."
The Golden Eagles will host 14 home games in the 2012-13 season, including a mystery match-up against a Bracket Buster opponent on Feb. 23.
This year's schedule will feature two familiar regional foes in Lipscomb and East Tennessee State, both of which have been long-standing opponents for the Golden Eagles. Tech owns a 40-4 advantage over Lipscomb, including last season's thrilling overtime victory. ETSU boasts just a two-game lead (34-32) in a series that has seen nearly 70 match-ups. The Golden Eagles closed the gap with an 83-74 win in 2011.
"I like our regional rivalries with East Tennessee State and with Lipscomb," said Payne. "We'd like to add a couple of more schools regionally to our schedule and we're looking to do that in the future. I like those games. Those are schools that are always good tests for us."
Like last year, Tech will face a slate of 16 OVC games again this season, including a key Jan. 24 home showdown against Murray State, last season's conference champions. Tech, who finished 0-3 against the Racers in 2012-13, nearly upset their ranked opponents twice. The Golden Eagles fell on the road by just eight points and played the Racers to a five-point loss at home.
Tech will host Tennessee State on Jan. 3 for its first home OVC game of the season. On Jan. 5, Belmont will make its first appearance at the Eblen Center as a member of the OVC.
A three-game road trip against Eastern Illinois, SIUE, and Southeast Missouri will cover the schedule before the Golden Eagles return home for the much anticipated Murray State matchup.
The Golden Eagles close the season with a four-game homestand, with three of those contests against OVC opponents. Tech will welcome UT Martin on Feb. 21 with Eastern Kentucky (Feb. 28) and Morehead State (March 2) following.
The OVC tournament is slated to begin March 6 and run through March 9, matching up the top eight teams in the conference. The winner of the OVC tournament will earn a spot in the NCAA tournament later in March.

Joseph Gordon-Levitt is a fixture in the comic book movie rumor mill these days. Not only is he supposedly in line to play Batman in the "Justice League" movie, he's now apparently a front-runner for the role of Star-Lord in "Guardians of the Galaxy" for Marvel.
It's not unprecedented for an actor to play characters in different comic book universes — Ryan Reynolds did it as Deadpool in "X-Men Origins: Wolverine" and as Hal Jordan in "Green Lantern," for one example — but many fans prefer their actors stick to one continuity. So, with that in mind, answer us this: which role would you prefer JGL play: Star-Lord or Batman?

Loci Controls, founded by two MIT alumni, helps landfill operators capture more of the potent greenhouse gas.
Zach Winn | MIT News Office
The second-largest driver of global warming is methane, a greenhouse gas 28 times more potent than carbon dioxide. Landfills are a major source of methane, which is created when organic material decomposes underground.
Now a startup that began at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) is aiming to significantly reduce methane emissions from landfills with a system that requires no extra land, roads, or electric lines to work. The company, Loci Controls, has developed a solar-powered system that optimizes the collection of methane from landfills so more of it can be converted into natural gas.
At the center of Loci’s (pronounced “low-sigh”) system is a lunchbox-sized device that attaches to methane collection wells, which vacuum the methane up to the surface for processing. The optimal vacuum force changes with factors like atmospheric pressure and temperature. Loci’s system monitors those factors and adjusts the vacuum force at each well far more frequently than is possible with field technicians making manual adjustments.
“We expect to reduce methane emissions more than any other company in the world over the next five years,” Loci Controls CEO Peter Quigley says. The company was founded by Melinda Hale Sims and Andrew Campanella, both MIT alumni.
The reason for Quigley’s optimism is the high concentration of landfill methane emissions. Most landfill emissions in the US come from about 1,000 large dumps. Increasing collection of methane at those sites could make a significant dent in the country’s overall emissions.
In one landfill where Loci’s system was installed, for instance, the company says it increased methane sales at an annual rate of 180,000 metric tons of carbon dioxide equivalent. That’s about the same as removing 40,000 cars from the road for a year.
Loci’s system is currently installed on wells in 15 different landfills. Quigley says only about 70 of the 1,000 big landfills in the US sell gas profitably. Most of the others burn the gas. But Loci’s team believes increasing public and regulatory pressure will help expands its potential customer base.
Uncovering a major problem
The idea for Loci came from a revelation by Sims’ father, serial entrepreneur Michael Hale (also a MIT alumni). The elder Hale was working in wastewater management when he was contacted by a landfill in New York that wanted help using its excess methane gas.
“He realized if he could help that particular landfill with the problem, it would apply to almost any landfill,” Sims says.
At the time, Sims was pursuing her PhD in mechanical engineering at MIT and minoring in entrepreneurship.
Her father didn’t have time to work on the project, but Sims began exploring technology solutions to improve methane capture at landfills in her business classes. The work was unrelated to her PhD, but her advisor, David Hardt, professor in manufacturing at MIT, was understanding. (Hardt had also served as PhD advisor for Sim’s father, who was, after all, the person to blame for Sim’s new side project.)
Sims partnered with Andrew Campanella, then a master’s student focused on electrical engineering, and the two went through the delta v summer accelerator program hosted by the Martin Trust Center for MIT Entrepreneurship.
Quigley was retired but serving on multiple visiting committees at MIT when he began mentoring Loci’s founders. He’d spent his career commercializing reinforced plastic through two companies, one in the high-performance sporting goods industry and the other in oil field services.
“What captured my imagination was the emissions-reduction opportunity,” Quigley says.
Methane is generated in landfills when organic waste decomposes. Some landfill operators capture the methane by drilling hundreds of collection wells. The vacuum pressure of those wells needs to be adjusted to maximize the amount of methane collected, but Quigley says technicians can only make those adjustments manually about once a month.
Loci’s devices monitor gas composition, temperature, and environmental factors like barometric pressure to optimize vacuum power every hour. The data the controllers collect is aggregated in an analytics platform for technicians to monitor remotely. That data can also be used to pinpoint well failure events, such as flooding during rain, and otherwise improve operations to increase the amount of methane captured.
“We can adjust the valves automatically, but we also have data that allows on-site operators to identify and remedy problems much more quickly,” Quigley explains.
Furthering a high-impact mission
Methane capture at landfills is becoming more urgent as improvements in detection technologies are revealing discrepancies between methane emission estimates and reality in the industry. A new airborne methane sensor deployed by NASA, for instance, found that California landfills have been leaking methane at rates as much as six times greater than estimates from the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency. The difference has major implications for the Earth’s atmosphere.
A reckoning will have to occur to motivate more waste management companies to start collecting methane and to optimize methane capture. That could come in the form of new collection standards or an increased emphasis on methane collection from investors. (Funds controlled by billionaires Bill Gates and Larry Fink are major investors in waste management companies.)
For now, Loci’s team, including co-founder and current senior advisor Sims, believes it’s on the road to making a meaningful impact under current market conditions.
“When I was in grad school, the majority of the focus on emissions was on CO2,” Sims says. “I think methane is a really high-impact place to be focused, and I think it’s been underestimated how valuable it could be to apply technology to the industry.”

I paired these brake pads with Powerstop drilled and slotted rotors on my 2011 F150. It was a highly noticeable upgrade in stopping efficiency from oem brakes! There is more brake dust than oem pads, but is well worth it.

Bankrupt cosmetic store chain, dayli, has just 2 weeks to secure an investor, or all 2,200 jobs will be lost.
Assets administrator Rudolf Mitterlehner has already registered all remaining dayli workers as provisionally laid off with the Austrian job centre (AMS), in case an investor to bail out the company cannot be secured.
Should such an investor emerge, it would have to be prepared to inject around 40 million Euros into the ill-fated firm each day.
Mitterlehner said: “I guess that there is still the chance of success. It is not impossible.”
By mid-July around 1,261 workers had already lost their jobs. If those that are left within the company are also laid off, this will mean the company has made almost 3,500 people unemployed.
The company is already planning a giant 40 per cent sale on all items in order to salvage some of its colossal losses.
Meanwhile Wels state prosecution is continuing to investigate whether the million Euros in cash which dayli’s manager, Rudolf Haberleitner, claims was stolen from him in Itayl, was in fact a huge set-up-
Mr Haberleitner claimed he brought a million Euros in cash to Udine, north-eastern Italy where it was stolen from him.
A report from the Lower Austria’s criminal investigation department (LKA), however, caused the prosecution office in Wels to open an inquiry.

New Jersey WWII veteran, Harry 'Flip' Kulkowitz, just wanted to be a photographer. He was having a great time until the call came to ship out to Europe. Harry did his part and soon overcame his disappointment. He was too busy taking part in D-Day and The Battle of The Bulge to worry about what might have been. He did manage to shoot a few rolls of film, however and later became an accomplished photographer. Harry appears in both The Americans on D-Day and The Americans in The Bulge. He has some interesting things to say about the ferocious German assault in the Ardennes.
We hope to post some of Harry's War time photographs on this blog over the coming weeks.

Superman isn’t exactly an easy character to pull off. With the strength to lift two billion tons, the speed to turn back time and the laser vision to melt the toughest material, he is a character without physical flaw. The nuance to a great Superman is in the mind, where the psychology of a man who merely wants to be human lies, despite the reality of him being an all-powerful alien outsider.
After the likes of Christopher Reeve and Brandon Routh have taken up the spandex and red cape, it is Henry Cavill’s depiction of the character in contemporary cinema that may well be the best cinematic version of all time. Starring for the very first time in Man of Steel in 2013, Cavill later appeared as Clark Kent in Batman V Superman: Dawn Of Justice as well as the beloved Zack Snyder re-release of Justice League in 2021.
Though his role as Superman remains his most iconic, Cavill has also appeared in such films as The Man from U.N.C.L.E., Mission: Impossible – Fallout and Enola Holmes, with his legacy in the industry sure to grow year by year.
Long before his time in the Justice League, however, Henry Cavill almost became Britain’s greatest spy, auditioning to be James Bond in 2006 where he came remarkably close to landing the lead role at just the age of 22.
Auditioning for the film in the US and the UK, Cavill describes to GQ how he had to perform two scenes from Sean Connery’s Bond movies, stating that the decision came down to the wire between him and Daniel Craig. “I waited to hear, and sadly it was a no. I mean, it was crazy, considering my age,” Cavill commented, understandably disappointed at missing out on the role of a lifetime.
“People say, ‘You must be so depressed that you didn’t get Bond,’” the actor adds, explaining, “Well, no, because I got as far as the screen test for Bond. There’s a lot of other people out there who are far less fortunate than me, who don’t even get through the door with their agent”.
Expressing his interest in playing Bond in the future, Cavill didn’t rule out returning to the franchise, though understood that people would simply see him as Superman and not Bond. Looking back at the situation with fondness, the actor added, “I never thought of myself as unlucky. When you aim high, it’s tough to get there unless something really fortunate happens”.
In the very same interview, Cavill described a story in which he met the New Zealand actor Russell Crowe as an extra in the movie Proof of Life. Holding a great deal of adoration for the acting icon, Cavill added that Crowe remains his favourite actor, and the 2000 movie Gladiator is his favourite film of all time.
Directed by Ridley Scott, the epic historical drama stars Crowe as a former Roman General who exacts revenge against the emperor who murders his family and sends him into slavery to be a gladiator. Also featuring the likes of Joaquin Phoenix, Oliver Reed, Richard Harris and Djimon Hounsou, Gladiator remains an iconic 21st century classic that acts as an exemplary example of a historical epic done right.

WB. Gregory J. Knott
Chicago is one of the world’s greatest cities and has a long Masonic history. For a while the old Chicago Masonic Temple was the tallest building at 302 fee within the world. But did you know that the Magnificent Mile – Michigan Avenue is anchored by a Masonic Cornerstone?
I wasn’t aware of this fact either until I happened upon on it while walking Michigan Avenue. Michigan Ave. is widely known for its shopping attractions. Many modern retailers have taken up shop within the area and offer shoppers everything their money can buy.
The most famous landmark along Michigan Ave is the Chicago Water Tower. The Water Tower was built beginning in 1867 and finished in 1869 by architect William W. Boyington from Joliet Limestone. The structure was one of the few survivors of the Great Chicago Fire of 1871 started by Mrs. O’Leary’s cow. It stands 154 feet high and a physical linkage with the Chicago of old.
When I started examining the building, I found that it contained a Masonic cornerstone properly laid in the northeast corner of the structure. I was pleasantly surprised to find this connection in the now fully commercialized area.
The cornerstone contains the name of Jerome R. Gorin Most Worshipful Grant Master. So who was MWB Gorin?
MWB Gorin was Grand Master of Illinois in 1867 and 1868. He was born in Hopkinsville, KY on October 12, 1817 and moved to Decatur, Illinois in 1833. He was an attorney who served in many capacities including city clerk, elected the Illinois legislature and a well-known banker.
While MWB Gorin was in office, the Knights Templar of Illinois, formed a commandery at Olney, Illinois which was named in his honor. Today Gorin Commandery No. 14 is still active and is located at Bridgeport, Illinois.
So next time you are visiting the Chicago Magnificent Mile, keep in mind the Masons were there first to anchor the way!
The Old Chicago Water Tower with the John Hancock building in the background – named after another famous Freemason, Brother John Hancock.
WB Gregory J. Knott is the Past Master of St. Joseph Lodge No. 970 in St. Joseph (IL) and a plural member of Ogden Lodge No. 754 (IL), and Homer Lodge No. 199 (IL). He's a member of both the Scottish Rite, and the York Rite, and is the Charter Secretary of the Illini High Twelve Club in Champaign-Urbana. He's also a member of the Ansar Shrine (IL) and the Eastern Illinois Council No. 356 Allied Masonic Degrees. Greg is very involved in Boy Scouts--an Eagle Scout himself; he serves the Grand Lodge of Illinois A. F. & A. M. as their representative to the National Association of Masonic Scouters.

A most conventional blend is the Dulsao of Brazil Nespresso. This is a great Brazilian coffee option for the Nespresso owner. Check it out!
Classic Line – Dulsao of Brazil Nespresso
Suggested as part of their classic source line of coffees this Brazilian Coffee Nespresso is a lower strength blend that has scents of red and yellow Bourbon beans.
This is a well-balanced combination, not too soft and not too heavy. The Nespresso Brazilian coffee Dulsao is a preferred blend for those people looking for a less strong taste but who want the adventure of a more potent shot of the Italian coffee brewing method without advancing over the top.
Sweet, Silk, and Soft
An authentic Arabica coffee, Dulsao do Brasil is a refined blend of red and yellow Bourbon grains from Brazil.
Notes of delicately toasted grain enhance the satin-smooth, elegantly balanced taste of this taste-lasting beverage.
Subtly sweet, red and yellow Bourbon coffee beans are grown in the hill-top plantations of southern Brazil.
This Brazilian coffee blend cup shares the quality of a medium taste that has hints of toasted mojo beans and even a little honey on the side.
They are collected by hand, then pulped and sun-dried to provide the mucilage sugars to infuse the bean with a soft flavor.
Some grains are roasted gently to hold their original sweet savor and reach a fullness on the palate.
The outstanding beans undergo a delayed roasting for a characteristic toasted flavor.
Dulsao of Brazil Nespresso Aromatic Profile
A lightly toasted grain, Nespresso Dulsao do Brasil is a delicate step back from traditionally powerful, dark espresso shots.
It is an option for those who don’t want a strong shot in the morning or want a second cup with softer tones to soothe your palate to the limit of greater satisfaction.
Please, leave a comment about this Dulsao of Brazil Nespresso Coffee Pods article.
This is fantastic mild blend for Nespresso Machine owners.

System JO Vanilla Cream H2O Water Based Lubricant
Brand: System Jo
If you're vanilla and proud then this is what you should be using. This System JO Vanilla Cream H2O Water-Based Lubricant will let you further enjoy what Peachy Keen thinks is already a very enjoyable activity. ;-PK
Details Water Based Vanilla Flavoured. Long-lasting. Safe to use with condoms.
Ingredients Purified Water (Aqua), Methyl Paraben, Propyl Paraben, Sodium Carboxymethl Cellulose, Glycerin, Natural Artificial Flavour Vanilla Cream
How on earth do I use System JO Vanilla Cream H2O Water-Based Lubricant!?
A flavoured lubricant works exactly the same as any other lube but is obviously more likely to be used if oral sex is going to be a part of your session. Pump a pea sized amount into your hands, massage onto your partner’s parts and lick and suck away. This product is long lasting and just as good a lubricant as it is tasty. Reapply as and when you’d like more flavour.
Plus, this product is sugar free so you can use as much of it as you like, preferably licking it off other people not having it straight out of the pump. That would be odd.
Alternatively, if you are looking for a product which is safe to be ingested but doesn’t taste of anything then why not try System JO Organic Water-Based Lube.
HINT: If you like to mix up sessions with oral, intercourse and then back to oral but don’t enjoy the taste of yourself, as it were, then this is the perfect solution ;-PK

Conforming Conventional Loan Limits Each Minnesota county loan limit is displayed. Check to see what the loan limits are for each county in your state. View the current FHA and conforming loan limits for all counties in Minnesota.Fannie Mae Loan Limits 2018 For much of the country, the 2018 conforming loan limit for Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac mortgages will increase from $424,100 to $453,100 for single-family homes – up 6.8% from 2017. In high-cost areas, the FHA’s loan limit ceiling will increase to $679,650, up from $636,150 this year.
A conforming loan, on the other hand, describes a certain set of characteristics, mainly loan amount, contained within a home loan. Within the mortgage industry, loans are repackaged and sold on the secondary market to mortgage investors, the biggest of which include the government-sponsored entities (GSEs), Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac.
Per Conforming Down Payment Guidelines, the 3% down payment conventional loan program is similar to the 5% down payment program. Home Buyers need to meet all conforming mortgage guidelines Since conforming loans are not insured and guaranteed by the government, the less down payment homebuyers put down, the more risk lenders have
Re: 5% down payment on non-conforming loan? That is a standard Fannie/Freddie 1st mortgage loan program, which at 95% LTV caps out at a $417k loan amount (that is the 1st mortgage loan limit, not the total loan limit amongst a 1st/2nd mortgage).
– A conforming loan through Fannie or Freddie can have a down payment as low as 3 percent, though only up to $417,000 and the borrower must be a first-time homebuyer. There’s no additional up-front fee.
In the United States, a conforming loan is a mortgage loan that conforms to GSE (Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac) guidelines. The most well-known guideline is the size of the loan, which, for 2019, was generally limited to $484,350 for single family homes in the continental US. Other guidelines include borrower’s loan-to-value ratio (i.e. the size of down payment), debt-to-income ratio, credit.
King County Conforming Loan Limits The federal government is increasing the limit for conforming mortgages in most regions of the united states starting jan. 1, 2017. In the three county area of King, Pierce and Snohomish counties, the new conforming rate will be $592,250, up from the previous limit of $540,500.non conforming loan lenders If so, you might have to take out a non-conforming loan with a lender willing to exceed those limits. The same can go for borrowers with debt-to-income ratios (DTIs) that exceed certain limits, generally 50% or lower, interest-only loans, or stated income loans.
While most conventional loans do require a down payment of some kind, many borrowers are surprised to learn that you can qualify for a conventional loan with .

What does friendship mean to you?
When I think of people who I consider my true friends I think of my mum, my sisters, my dad and my boyfriend. I consider all of them my true friends because these are people who have seen all my sides, the good and the bad and who not only accept me for who I am but love me for it. My mum will talk to me for hours on the phone when I am at my lowest and expect nothing in return because one of the things she wants most in the world is me to be happy. I think true acceptance of who people are and being concerned for their happiness and wellbeing is true friendship.

As Mental Health Awareness Month rolls around for 2019, a&e will be delving into tough topics each week to offer coping tips from Dubai-based community mental health and wellness clinic, LightHouse Arabia.
Dr Saliha Afridi, a Clinical Psychologist and the Managing Director of LightHouse Arabia
Struggling with our mental health is something most of us go through at some point in our lives. For some of us, that will mean bouts of tough times perhaps after challenging or upsetting life events, while for others, that might be an ongoing battle we face day to day.
So as Mental Health Awareness Month arrives for 2019, we will be offering up digestible tips focusing on different areas thanks to the experts at the incredible local institute, LightHouse Arabia.
For this week, Dr Saliha Afridi – Clinical Psychologist and the Managing Director of the organisation – will be offering up her quick tips for dealing with everyday stress and burn out.
Dealing With Everyday Stress and Burnout
The first thing people compromise when they are stressed is sleep. Sleep is critical for many of the body’s regulatory systems to do what they are meant to do. Thermoregulation, homeostatic restoration, tissue repair, immunity building and emotional and mental health regulation are all done during sleep.
Eat of the earth
Avoid processed foods, fried foods, and fast food. While it may give us a moment of comfort and pleasure—it wreaks havoc on the body and lowers the immunity as well as results in low mood. 90 per cent of all serotonin (our happy neurochemical) is produced in the gut—so sad and stressed stomach will result in a sad and stressed mind.
Turn it off
Turn off the mind, turn off the technology, turn off the noise that is resulting in you being inundated and overwhelmed. If you can’t turn off your phone, at least turn off the notifications so you are not responding to every push from every app in your phone in a Pavlovian way. Take control of your life and determine when you will look at technology instead of handing over that control to your phone.
Life cannot just be about managing the downside and solving for stress. How do you live a life that is happy, joyful, engaging and engaging? Do things for others that cannot pay you back, volunteer, express gratitude for the things and people in your life, engage in acts of kindness, make an intention to forgive those who have hurt you, or learn a new skill. Whatever gives you joy and increases the positive emotions in your life, do that and it will mitigate the effect of the stress.
Not just your physical body, but detox your environment and your relationships. If something is toxic, and you know it’s not serving you, if you feel judged and full of negativity every time you are around this person or this place—get rid of it. Toxicity is an energy drain, and you cannot afford to be draining your energy, especially when you are stressed or burnt out.

SUMMARY: Two cowboys spend their days in the shelter of a large rock but at night they venture into the sexual bazaar of the town.
WHY IT’S HERE: German animator Andreas Hykade’s unflinchingly sexual but visually wonderful ‘Ring of Fire’ is definitely not one to show the children! In many ways, the film feels like a throwback to 70s animation in which sex played a significant part. But ‘Ring of Fire’ is so much more than a series of sexual images or a tribute to a bygone era of animation. This astonishing Western morality play, rendered in stark black and white, is a surrealist, psychedelic feast for the eyes and mind, in which two cowboys are beset with visions of sexual intensity that overwhelm them in different ways. The aggressive, confident cowboy revels in it while his awkward, uncertain counterpart wanders the sexual desert unsure of how to behave. Hykade takes the ludicrous Western genre cliché of women as either saints or whores as a central theme, although one of ‘Ring of Fire’s weaknesses is the impossibility to tell whether he is subverting or perpetuating this narrative tradition. The despoiling of a women whose purity is symbolised by her literally flowing hair is central to the story, as is the bordello of a woman dressed in black who will let in any cowboy who can shoot a hole through a coin. There’s a troubling tendency to define the women by how the men perceive and treat them, although the film can be seen as a fever dream entirely from the point of view of men (or even one man, if we see the two cowboys as elements of the same character) and therefore this would be consistent with the story. Any ideological problems aside, ‘Ring of Fire’ is a visually brilliant piece filled with graphical sexual images on which many different meaning can be hung. Hykade establishes himself as an animator of great talent, although his ambiguous storytelling, like the cowboys in his film, only seems occasionally confident and not always commendable.
