Although the sequencing of the human genome was heralded as a breakthrough when it was announced to the world in 2001, the truth was that large sections of chromosomes had not actually been sequenced in full at that time. Twenty years later, and with the help of improved technology for reading longer sections of DNA with high accuracy, scientists have finally been able to fill in the gaps in all 23 chromosomes. The results, published today in the journal Science, reveal hitherto unknown secrets about human evolution and ancestry.
When the current study began, not a single human chromosome had been fully sequenced. The areas where information was missing included mostly the regions around each centromere, the site where a constriction divides the chromosome into two “arms.” The DNA in this region is characterized by multiple, repeating sequences of code that are difficult to tell apart, or to join up correctly when read in short sections. Thanks to the use of new technology that allows ultra-long sections of DNA to be sequenced, it has now been possible to establish the genetic code on all the human chromosomes, from end to end.
“Uncovering the complete sequence of these formerly missing regions of the genome told us so much about how they’re organized, which was totally unknown for many chromosomes,” said Nicolas Altemose, a postdoctoral fellow at the University of California, Berkeley, and a co-author of four new papers about the completed genome. “Before, we just had the blurriest picture of what was there, and now it’s crystal clear down to single base pair resolution.”
Altemose is first author of one paper that describes the base pair sequences around the centromere. A paper explaining the methods used for the sequencing will appear in the April 1 print edition of the journal Science, while Altemose’s centromere paper and four others describing what the new sequences tell us, are summarized in the journal with the full papers posted online. Four companion papers, including one for which Altemose is co-first author, will also appear online April 1 in the journal Nature Methods.
Until the completion of this study, the reference human genome, known as GRCh38, was used by doctors when searching for mutations linked to disease, as well as by scientists looking at the evolution of human genetic variation. However there were large gaps that remained unsequenced, not only in the area of the centromeres, but also near the telomeres – the terminal ends of each chromosome – and around the genes that code for ribosomal proteins. This meant that not all variations of human genes had been identified, limiting the understanding of genetic diseases.
The newly completed human genome, referred to as T2T-CHM13, was sequenced and analyzed by a team of more than 100 scientists under the auspices of the Telemere-to-Telomere Consortium, or T2T, named for the telomeres that cap the ends of all chromosomes. The consortium’s gapless version of all 22 autosomes and the X sex chromosome identifies 3,055 billion base pairs, or nucleotide pairs, the building units from which chromosomes and genes are built. These base pairs form the genetic “code” that determines the activities of cells and is passed on to future generations.
Within the 3,055 billion base pairs, the team also identified 19,969 protein-coding genes. Of these, about 2,000 were new ones, but most of them were no longer functional. In total around 115 of the newly identified genes were probably functional. The T2T team also found about 2 million additional gene variants in the human genome, 622 of which occur in medically relevant genes. These will help doctors to diagnose genetically based illnesses.
“In the future, when someone has their genome sequenced, we will be able to identify all of the variants in their DNA and use that information to better guide their health care,” said Adam Phillippy, one of the leaders of T2T and a senior investigator at the National Human Genome Research Institute (NHGRI) of the National Institutes of Health. “Truly finishing the human genome sequence was like putting on a new pair of glasses. Now that we can clearly see everything, we are one step closer to understanding what it all means.”
DNA sequences around the centromere hint at evolutionary past
One area that has brought new understanding is the genetic sequences around the centromere region. The T2T team used the new sequencing techniques to locate the place within the centromere where the kinetochore is found. This is a disc-shaped protein structure that is crucial when duplicated chromosomes are pulled apart into “daughter” cells during the process of cell division. When the chromosomes are separated successfully, this ensures that each daughter cell has a complete set of chromosomes.
“When this goes wrong, you end up with missegregated chromosomes, and that leads to all kinds of problems,” said Altemose. “If that happens in meiosis, that means you can have chromosomal anomalies leading to spontaneous miscarriage or congenital diseases. If it happens in somatic cells, you can end up with cancer – basically, cells that have massive misregulation.”
What the researchers found in and around the centromeres were layers of new nucleotide sequences overlaying layers of older sequences as if, through evolutionary time, new centromere regions have developed repeatedly to bind to the kinetochore. The older regions are characterized by having more mutations and deletions, indicating that they are not functional and are no longer used by the cell. The newer sequences where the kinetochore binds, however, are much less variable, and more functional.
Protein-DNA interactions are critical
Altemose is also interested in finding and understanding the areas in the chromosomes where proteins interact with DNA. “Without proteins, DNA is nothing,” said Altemose, who earned a Ph.D. in bioengineering jointly from UC Berkeley and UC San Francisco in 2021, after having received a D.Phil. in statistics from Oxford University.
“DNA is a set of instructions with no one to read it if it doesn’t have proteins around to organize it, regulate it, repair it when it’s damaged and replicate it,” explains Altemose. “Protein-DNA interactions are really where all the action is happening for genome regulation, and being able to map where certain proteins bind to the genome is really important for understanding their function.”
The DNA analysis that led to the complete sequencing of the 22 autosomal chromosomes and an X chromosome was conducted on one individual’s genome only. Subsequently, the researchers also sequenced a complete Y chromosome from another individual, a project that took almost as long to complete as it did to sequence the rest of the genome, Altemose said. The analysis of this new Y chromosome sequence will appear in a future publication.
DNA sequences used to trace human lineages
Altemose and his team, which included UC Berkeley project scientist Sasha Langley, also used the new reference genome, T2T-CHM13, to compare the centromeric DNA of 1,600 individuals from around the world. The results revealed major differences in both the sequence and copy number of repetitive DNA around the centromeres. Previous studies have shown that when groups of ancient humans migrated out of Africa to the rest of the world, they took only a small sample of genetic variants with them. Altemose and his team confirmed that this pattern is also seen in the variation of nucleotide sequences around the centromeres.
“What we found is that in individuals with recent ancestry outside the African continent, their centromeres, at least on chromosome X, tend to fall into two big clusters, while most of the interesting variation is in individuals who have recent African ancestry,” Altemose said. “This isn’t entirely a surprise, given what we know about the rest of the genome. But what it suggests is that if we want to look at the interesting variation in these centromeric regions, we really need to have a focused effort to sequence more African genomes and do complete telomere-to-telomere sequence assembly.”
Altemose also noted that DNA sequences around the centromere could possibly be used to trace human lineages back to our common ape ancestors. “As you move away from the site of the active centromere, you get more and more degraded sequence, to the point where if you go out to the furthest shores of this sea of repetitive sequences, you start to see the ancient centromere that, perhaps, our distant primate ancestors used to bind to the kinetochore,” Altemose said. “It’s almost like layers of fossils.”
The important role of ultra-long-read nanopore sequencing
The success of the T2T team’s sequencing project is due to improved techniques for sequencing long, continuous stretches of DNA, which helps when determining the order of highly repetitive stretches of chromosomes. Among these are PacBio’s HiFi sequencing, which can read lengths of more than 20,000 base pairs with high accuracy.
“These new long-read DNA sequencing technologies are just incredible; they’re such game changers, not only for this repetitive DNA world, but because they allow you to sequence single, long molecules of DNA,” Altemose said. “You can begin to ask questions at a level of resolution that just wasn’t possible before, not even with short-read sequencing methods.”
Altemose plans to explore the centromeric regions further in future research, using an improved technique he and colleagues at Stanford developed to locate the sites on the chromosome that are bound by proteins, similar to how the kinetochore binds to the centromere. Meanwhile, the T2T consortium will be working on developing a reference genome that represents all of humanity, rather than just one individual.
It is envisaged that the information from the fully sequenced human genome will contribute to our understanding of chromosome functioning, human disease and genomic variation, as well as giving us clues to patterns of human evolution and movement around the planet.

If you have problems with a car garage in your home, whether it’s a widespread problem garage, garage car capacity or form that you can use in your garage, then the most appropriate thing to do is to modify or renovate your garage. Because the garage is a place where our car is placed in it and the car is one of the means of transport we can facilitate us to go wherever we want. A car is a means that is perfect for the moment, because with our cars can go without experiencing disruption of weather. If today is rainy, we will not be soaking wet because of rain, as if the day is hot, we won’t be burning by the Sun during the day that black makes our skin and bodies become tired because the diaphoretic too much.
Garage designs are a form of our love of cars which we can use at any time without the familiar sense of tired and always accompanies wherever we go. Nice car must have a great garage anyway, because the existence of a viable and adequate garage will make the car more durable and that we certainly would be easier to remove the car from the garage with a form and a better design. The space more modern garages could also make garages have a better appearance, also great garage capacity that we can change, so can load more cars. Aren’t we often have more than one car in the garage, we haven’t even yet there are other possible means of transportation we may be located in the garage along with the car, such as a bicycle, motorcycle, or other means of transportation.
So overall you can change your entire garage into a better and more stylish as you want because the garage is also a building or room that is incorporated in our homes. not in this present era many people have a garage that is very cool and stylish, because they consider the garage is a place that can be designed in its entirety and the garage is where the cars are nice and cool. So let’s do the Garage designs on your garage.

The work of nine Nigerian photography students is being featured in the John and June Allcott Gallery. Titled “I Be Person I No Be Number,” the exhibition explores issues of democracy and human rights in Nigeria.
The exhibit is the result of a partnership between the UNC Department of Art and Art History and the Nlele Institute, which aims to educate and develop the skills of budding photographers in Nigeria and throughout Africa. Uche Okpa-Iroha, the director of the Nlele Institute, taught the students whose work is being shown.
The exhibition is also a result of a collaboration between the art department, the Click! Photography Festival and the For Freedoms initiative. Okpa-Iroha'sstudents were asked to respond to For Freedoms’ mission to use art to encourage public discussion of political issues and values.
UNC professors Gesche Würfel and Carol Magee organized the exhibition. Both have past experience working with African photographers. Last year, Würfel created an exhibition with the Market Photo Workshop, a photography organization in South Africa. Magee, who was working with Okpa-Iroha on her own project at the time, brought him in to do a panel discussion on the exhibition.
This year, Würfel and Magee decided to create a show featuring Okpa-Iroha’s students. Makiah Belk, a senior political science and English double major and studio art minor, helped organize the exhibition as part of an independent study.
“It was really cool that we got to bring something like this to UNC,” Belk said. “I feel like we don’t really hear about black conscious movement in other parts of the world and in places with budding democracies and budding economics. The political movements there are a little bit more on the ground, and so the fact that we get to tell their stories here and kind of give insight to what is happening both politically and culturally there — I feel like it was a unique opportunity.”
Würfel said it was purposeful that the exhibition coincides with the upcoming midterm elections in the United States. She said she hopes the exhibition both teaches people about the current situation in Nigeria and encourages them to participate in their democracy.
Magee and Würfel also emphasized that the work on display is by students. Würfel said it is important to bring over work by students and not just established artists. Magee said she hopes UNC students will be curious to come and see what photography students from another country are doing.
Adedeji Olalekan, one of the featured artists, did a project focused on a week-long protest in 2012 called “Occupy Nigeria.” Citizens took to the streets to protest the rule of the People’s Democratic Party, which had been in control since 1999. Olalekan titled the project “The Day Nigerians Stood Against Oppression, In Favour of Good Governance.”
“In an attempt to keep the memory alive and remind the citizens of a well-fought victory, that I profiled some of the memorable events in picture format with the above title,” Olalekan said in a statement.
Themes the artists explored include human rights movements, corruption, freedom of speech, senior citizens’ rights, the media and the evolution of Nigerian politics.
Another student, Israel Aigberadion, said in a statement, “What if the government chosen by the people for the people, is not of the people. Does that kind of government still count as a Democratic one?”
Würfel, Magee and Belk said that this exhibition is a learning opportunity for visitors.
“It’s understanding that people everywhere are dealing with issues that we deal with here — these ideas of rights to vote and corruption, or feeling marginalized or disenfranchised," Magee. "Those issues come up everywhere. These connections that we have with human beings that are very far away from us and that allow us to see people who we don’t know and we don’t anything about as people that we share commonalities with.”

SYRACUSE — Gov. Spencer Cox (R-UT) announced a significant investment in various water projects across the state Tuesday, including upgrading protection and management of the Great Salt Lake.
This budget also spotlights an issue that affects all of us: water.
The Great Salt Lake is one of the most important ecosystems in Utah, so we’re proposing another $45 million, on top of the $5 million already invested by the Legislature, to preserve it.https://t.co/Euv32A75I1 pic.twitter.com/pngnbwkDsq
— Utah Gov. Spencer J. Cox (@GovCox) December 7, 2021
Gov. Cox announced budget for Great Salt Lake preservation
Cox made the announcement as part of his 2022 budget from the Antelope Island Visitor Center in Syracuse Tuesday morning. He said his reason for being there was for the benefit of the lake Utah is known for.
“The Great Salt Lake is one of the most important ecosystems in our state,” said Cox. “In addition, the lake contributes $1.3 billion to our state’s economy.”
Experts have raised concerns for years about the ever-dwindling lake and the potential repercussions for Utah. There could be long-term damage to industry, the lake’s fragile ecosystem, Utahns’ health, and snowpack.
As part of his budget proposal, Cox told a KSL/Deseret News editorial board he wants to allocate $45 million to preserve the lake and $600,000 for an upgrade to the lake’s management. Along with $5 million from the Utah Legislature, total investment into the lake will be around $51 million.
Other water projects are also a priority
The governor also wants to put a large sum of money toward other water projects.
“Water conservation, drinking water projects, agriculture, improvement in utilization of water resources,” Cox explained. “All kinds of programs that we think will help to improve water conservation and water quality here in the state of Utah.”
In total, the governor wants to invest $420 million in these projects, along with $100 million from the legislature, bringing the grand total to more than a half-billion dollars.
We want to hear from you.

Group sets up Internet bank officeA consortium led by telecommunications company KT took a further step on Monday to prepare for the launch of its Internet bank by opening the unit’s office.
Some 60 workers from participating companies, including Woori Bank and Hanwha Life Insurance, reported for their first day at the office in Gwanghwamun, central Seoul.
The employees made an entry to the office filled with fun, carrying a lightsaber or striking a pose with Thor’s hammer. The idea was to create a fun yet innovative atmosphere much like the ones found at start-ups.
The opening came after KT finished the registration process to set up a new entity for the Internet bank K-Bank in January. The group won preliminary approval for the business last November.
The KT-led team is one of two winning consortia to start web-based banking services for the first time in Korea, along with a group led by the country’s largest messenger operator, Kakao. The telecommunication company said the new office, measuring 2,100 square meters (22,600 square feet), will have a different look from typical finance companies.
The Gwanghwamun venue will have facilities often found at up-and-coming tech start-ups - such as a free idea room and whiteboards for staff to discuss and display issues.
The office is also equipped with a testing room with a range of smart devices that allows the online banking system to be demonstrated.
While the office is operational, the two consortia are still waiting for final permission to run their new platforms.
“We believe final approval will be given within this year,” a KT representative said. “What we are going to do is lay the groundwork for the new service so that we can open the service as soon as we get permission.”
Ahn Hyo-jo, head of the consortium, vowed to experiment with new offerings. “We hope the Internet bank will lead innovation in the banking industry with its new services such as digital interests.”

KUALA LUMPUR (Sept 10): More than 60% of new Airbnb hosts in Malaysia in the first half of 2021 (1H21) comprised millennials aged between 25 and 40.
In a statement yesterday, the company that operates an online marketplace for lodging said the top five states where these new hosts were based were Selangor, Kuala Lumpur, Johor, Sabah and Penang.
It said amid the stop-start nature of movement control order (MCO) regulations from January to June, new Airbnb hosts collectively earned over RM680,000 from welcoming guests on Airbnb.
The firm said this data followed Airbnb’s recent global announcement of more than 100 new upgrades across the platform, including making it easier to start hosting.
It said based on a first quarter of 2021 (1Q21) survey conducted by Airbnb, a third of Malaysian hosts polled said the money earned through Airbnb provided an additional source of revenue for the households, and helped them stay afloat and fight the cost of living during the Covid-19 pandemic.
Airbnb’s general manager for Southeast Asia, India, Hong Kong and Taiwan Amanpreet Bajaj said 2021 had undoubtedly proved challenging as the pandemic continued to impact Malaysian livelihoods, businesses and the broader economy.
“Hosting has offered many an additional source of income during a time of financial strain, providing economic empowerment for these new hosts,” he said.
Bajaj added that as the conversation turns towards the return of travel, it is crucial that guest and host safety remains Airbnb’s top priority.
“Last year, we implemented the five-step Enhanced Clean process, a set of cleaning and sanitisation standards developed in partnership with experts and endorsed by the Malaysian Medical Association (MMA) to ensure peace of mind for our community.
“We remain fully committed to supporting Malaysia’s tourism recovery efforts, and we continue working hard to find new ways to drive clean and safe travel,” he said.

28 Nov Why NFC Tags : How PearlCBD is Leveraging Tech to Foster Trust With Our Customers
At PearlCBD, we leverage cutting edge technology to foster trust in end users and build brand equity with our consumers. Near-field communication, or NFC Tags, are helping us lead the way in this process.
NFC tags, often referred to as “smart tags” or “info tags”, are small stickers with an even smaller microchip that can be read by in-range mobile devices. More specifically, they use a set of communication protocols that enable electronic devices (one of which is typically a smart phone) to communicate with each other. Information is stored in these microchips, the tags containing the chips are placed on a product, and that data is sent to your phone when you tap on the icon. Credit card readers and touch payment terminals are good examples of NFC technology in use.
We have integrated this technology onto all our PearlCBD products, having married the tags into our labels and making it easy for users to simply tap their phone to the ‘tap here’ icon and receive relevant data about our premium CBD line. Learn more about where our pharma-grade products are manufactured by watching a video of our FDA-registered lab in Miami. See where our whole-plant extracted full spectrum hemp is organically grown on our farms in Colorado. View batch test results from our lab and additional third party testing lab to see exactly how much CBD is in our products. This technology allows PearlCBD to set the standard for consumers to educate themselves in an industry lacking standardization and best practices.
Love our products? Leverage our NFC tag technology to share PearlCBD over social media, receive discounts and promotions, and digitally reorder without visiting a store or even opening your laptop. We have streamlined the education process for potential buyers and made it easy for our loyal customers to stay that way. Our goal at PearlCBD is for end users to have every bit of information available on what they are putting on and in their bodies.

In October 1903, a large amount of the Northeastern states suffered from a high rainfall event that eventually resulted in a flood. Easton was one of many areas caught up in the severe flooding that would end up causing massive destruction to both physical infrastructure and human life.
Thomas Lannon, director of Special Collections and College Archives at Lafayette College, provided The Lafayette with a document listing the heights of numerous floods throughout Easton’s history. The flood of 1903 was at a wave crest of 38.10 feet, making it second in height to a flood in 1955.
Headlines from the Easton Daily Express, which became the still-existing Express-Times after a merger with Bethlehem’s Globe Times in 1991, provide plenty of information on the 1903 flood and the effect it had on Easton and nearby cities. The 118-year-old news article contains harrowing descriptions of the natural disaster, with the main headline on Oct. 10, 1903 reading, “BODIES OF FLOOD VICTIMS FOUND IN A MELON FIELD.”
The flood first began in New York City. The Easton Daily Express reported the severe damage of high waters before they even crossed state lines into New Jersey.
“Many trolley lines and railroads were either crippled or delayed and in New York City, a conduit containing seventy telegraph wires was so flooded as to disable all the wires,” the article from Oct. 8, 1903 read.
The devastation progressed as the raging waters continued to spread eastwards to New Jersey. Across the Hudson River from New York City, Hoboken and Jersey City were reported by the Easton Daily Express to have flooding so severe that “passengers were carried across it in grocers wagons.” In Paterson, New Jersey, it was reported that “destructive flooding” had caused the waters to rise to a foot and a half in height.
When the floods reached Easton, the ensuing destruction was horrific for Easton’s residents, as reported by the Easton Daily Express on Oct. 10, 1903. The damage to physical infrastructure was very severe, as the article stated that an amount of one million dollars (more than $32 million today after adjusting for inflation) was believed to be a conservative estimate of the damage done by the flood.
“Thousands of people share that loss,” the Easton Daily Express reported. “Capitalists who have their money invested in business enterprises that have been crippled; property-owners who have had buildings damaged; tenants, who in many cases have little left of their household effects; mechanics, who are forced into idleness because the flood has temporarily stopped work at many places.”
While the damage to Easton was severe, it did inspire a large relief effort in the city. It was reported that aid was given to the suffering people in many forms, ranging from clothing to shoes to cash.
“Representatives of the charity organization told of having visited the flooded districts and found want and suffering in many instances,” the Easton Daily Express reported. “But it is thought that relief can be had in comparatively short time.”

Reynolds: Will Trump's Obama voters become a durable part of the Republican Party?
So Donald Trump was elected because of a political sea change. The question is, will it last, or even expand? Or was it a flash in the pan? Former president Barack Obama, after all, thought he’d put together a coalition that would outlast him, only to have former Obama voters turn to Trump to make the New York real estate mogul our next president.
But how did that happen? Most of the national pundit class has tried to explain the rise of Trump voters by pointing to racism, or economic resentment, or racism, or cultural change, or even, you know, racism as an explanation.
But Salena Zito and Brad Todd tried something different: They went to those voters and asked them. Their new book, out this week, is "The Great Revolt: Inside The Populist Coalition Reshaping American Politics." And in writing that book, they asked swing voters why they voted for Trump in two ways: Face to face, in a series of deep and sensitive interviews, and en masse in a large opinion survey. Both inquiries produced a lot of useful material that both Democrats and Republicans would be well advised to study and internalize.
And the racism theory doesn’t hold up. After all, these are people who voted for Obama twice, then turned to Trump over a white woman. As one blue-collar voter explained to them: “I was born and raised Democrat. You didn’t talk Republican in my parents’ household. They were very strict and I figured I just continued the tradition and voted Democrat all of my life.”
That includes voting for Barack Obama twice. But he was disappointed. “It’s just that things got progressively worse and with Obama’s second term, instead of being a ... How can you say it? Instead of being someone who does a job, he was someone pussyfooting around ... That’s what turned me off ... I really wanted him to live up to those speeches he gave. They were perfect.”
His conclusion: “I wanted Barack Obama to succeed. He ended up hurting us. He was weak.” Trump, he feels is strong, and does what he says he’ll do.
The Great Revolt is full of interviews like this: People who supported Obama, but felt that the country was going downhill under Democrats and that Hillary would worsen that tendency, while Trump offered a chance to turn things around.
But as I read the book, another interesting thing leaped out at me: The role of social pressure. Trump did badly among college educated voters in places where there were lots of college educated voters, but he did well among college educated voters who lived in places that were more diverse. As Zito and Todd write:
Simply put, Americans who live their lives among a group of friends and neighbors with varied educational backgrounds preferred Trump more than Clinton or Romney, while college-educated Americans who live exclusively among other degree holders were less likely to support Trump, even if they were otherwise Republican.
Trump’s performance among college-educated voters who live in counties below the national average in education levels was right on the republican par — particularly in midsize and smaller counties in the Great Lakes swing states that determined the outcome of the election.
These voters did not face the kind of social pressure to oppose the lewd and coarse Trump that their college-educated peers did in the suburbs.
That makes sense, and it reminded me of an NPR story last week about how black voters face tremendous social pressure from other blacks to vote for Democrats: “What ... researchers found in a recent study is that social pressure from other black people is how this Democratic norm gets policed. They found that the expectations around this norm were so powerful that simply having a black questioner ask a black respondent about their voting preferences made that respondent more likely to say they were voting for a Democratic candidate ... So Kanye isn't wrong when he says there is a lot of social pressure for black people to vote Democratic.”
Nope. But there was a lot of pressure for traditional blue-collar Democrats to vote Democratic too. Last election, a lot of them flipped anyway, after concluding that the Democratic Party — now more interested in sexual minorities, celebrities, and recent immigrants than its traditional labor constituency — could no longer be trusted.
Will a significant number of black voters flip to the GOP in the same way? If they do, it’s a real problem for the Democrats. But to make that happen, the GOP will have to make black voters feel welcome.
How can they do that? In his inauguration speech, Trump offered the path when he said: “At the bedrock of our politics will be a total allegiance to the United States of America, and through our loyalty to our country, we will rediscover our loyalty to each other. When you open your heart to patriotism, there is no room for prejudice.”
Focusing on our common citizenship, a shared Americanness that transcends lesser differences is an attractive path, and it could be a winning path as well. If so, we may see a genuine sea change indeed.

Lenox Mountain Professional Review and Guide
"Not the longest trip but lots of fun, with a nice track that’s a warm-up for a very challenging climb to a great mountaintop view. This is a favorite trip of the staff at Berkshire Bike and Blade in Great Barrington, which is a great recommendation all by itself. In just about all of the Berkshires, black bears are becoming increasingly common.
In this area of Lenox, however, bears have been common for many years, and seeing one on the trip shouldn’t be a surprise. The trailhead is off Reservoir Road at the gated entrance to Dunbar Road, a dirt track that was once a well-maintained carriage road. The surrounding woodland is a hardwood forest of beech, maple, and oak."

Volvo truck drivers have a lot of information on their dashboards. If you’re new to driving a Volvo truck, it can be a bit overwhelming to try and understand all the different gauges and what they mean. This blog post will review the different Volvo truck dashboard gauges and what they represent. This way, you can be better informed while on the road and ensure you’re watching your truck's important aspects.

What Does Volvo Truck Dashboard Gauges Mean?
Volvo truck dashboard gauges provide the driver with important information about the vehicle's performance and status. There are various gauges, each with its specific meaning.
- The speedometer is the most basic and essential gauge, displaying the vehicle's current speed.
- The tachometer measures the engine's RPMs, or rotations per minute, letting the driver know how hard the engine is working.
- The coolant temperature gauge lets the driver know if the engine is running too hot, while the oil pressure gauge indicates whether or not there is enough oil pressure in the system.
- The fuel level gauge tells the driver how much fuel remains in the tank, while the voltmeter measures battery voltage to ensure it has enough power to start up and run properly.
- Finally, the odometer displays how many miles have been driven, allowing drivers to track their progress and distance traveled.
Most Important Volvo Truck Dashboard Warning Lights Meaning
A few Volvo truck dashboard gauges are important for drivers to know. The first is the speedometer, which tells the driver how fast they are going. The second is the tachometer, which shows the engine's RPMs. The third is the fuel gauge, which lets the driver know how much fuel they have left. And finally, there is the coolant temperature gauge, which helps the driver monitor their engine's temperature.
What Causes The Volvo Truck Dashboard Gauges to Stop Working?
There are a few different things that can cause the Volvo truck dashboard gauges to stop working. The most common reason is that the truck's battery is low and needs to be recharged. Another possibility is a problem with the truck's electrical system. If the gauges come on while the car runs, it could indicate that the alternator is not working properly. If the gauges stop working and stay on after the engine has been turned off, it could mean a problem with the truck's ignition system.
How Do You Read the Volvo Truck Dashboard Gauges?
Volvo dashboard gauges give the driver important information about the truck's performance and status. The most important gauges are the speedometer, tachometer, and fuel gauge.
The speedometer measures the truck's speed. The needle should be in the green zone when driving at or below the posted speed limit. If it enters the red zone, it indicates that the truck is speeding, and the driver should slow down.
The tachometer measures the engine's RPMs. The ideal range for most driving conditions is between 1,500 and 2,000 RPMs. If the needle enters the red zone, the engine is overworking and may be damaged if driven for too long in this condition.
The fuel gauge shows how much fuel is in the tank. It is important to monitor this gauge to know when to refuel. When the needle enters the red zone, only a few gallons of fuel remain in the tank, and it is time to stop at a fueling station.
Volvo truck dashboard gauges provide the driver with important information about the vehicle's condition. Knowing what each indicator means ensures the truck runs smoothly and safely. Our guide has equipped you with an overview of each Volvo truck dashboard gauge and what it represents. Next time you're behind the wheel, take a moment to familiarize yourself with the gauges to ensure your Volvo truck is running at its best.

Modular plasmonic nanocarriers for efficient and targeted delivery of cancer-therapeutic siRNA.
In this study, a new method for delivering payloads of nucleic acids into cells is described. Nanoparticles consisting of gold nanoshells and peptides were synthesized and used to package RNAs. These particles are taken up by the cells and then the contents are released via exposure to a short laser pulse. This new method will be useful in delivering RNAs to cells to control their behavior, and will be useful in gene therapy, stem cell therapy and studies of cancer biology.
We have combined a versatile and powerful route to deliver nucleic acids with peptide-based cell-specific targeting. siRNA targeting the polo-like kinase gene is in clinical trials for cancer treatment, and here we deliver this RNA selectively to cancer cells displaying the neuropilin-1 epitope using gold nanoshells. Release of the siRNA from the nanoparticles results from irradiation with a pulsed near-infrared laser, which also provides efficient endosomal escape within the cell. As a result, our approach requires 10-fold less material than standard nucleic acid transduction materials and is significantly more efficient than other particle-based methods. We also describe a particle-nucleic acid design that does not rely on modified RNA, thereby making the preparation of these materials more efficient and much less expensive. These improvements, when combined with control over when and where the siRNA is released, could provide the basis for diverse cell biological studies.

text: We have chosen to add another source of information because we perceived a gap in the information that is currently available and a way in which to ensure that readers will have one website or frequently updated text to consult regarding the major aspects of Alzheimer's Disease (AD): diagnosis, pathogenesis, current management, and future approaches to prevention as well as treatment. This text is not a basic introduction, so it assumes some degree of knowledge about AD on the part of the reader. By setting our discussion at this level, it allows us to keep readers informed of evidence-based developments in the field. We think that our text will always have a comprehensive and current bibliography for individuals who are newly entering the field of AD studies, either as clinicians, researchers, or individuals with industrial interests, as well as seasoned investigators. Although we focus on evidence-based approaches rather than on opinions, we hope that our book is useful to informed members of the public as well as to doctors and scientists. We want to balance optimism and hopefulness against the very significant challenges of understanding and treating this illness.

Anthony Browne is one of the world's most celebrated creators of children's picture books, with classics such as Gorilla, Willy the Wimp and Zoo to his name. Take a look at this interactive version of his book Voices in the Park. Voices in the Dark is daring in concept and execution, and proves that Lust is an artist to be reckoned with, but feels cold and distant and fails to engage the reader as fully as her previous book did.
I still look forward to her next book. “VOICES IN THE DARK reminds us just how fun and entertaining a good thriller can be. So what if you have a few nightmares, jump every time the phone rings for the next couple of weeks, and are never able to look a hot tub in the face again.

CHARLOTTESVILLE, Va. (WVIR) - In his state of the commonwealth address, Governor Ralph Northam proposed an initiative his team is calling G3 - get skilled, get a job, and give back. The plan would allow some students to attend a two-year college tuition free and may also create jobs at those colleges across the state.
“We’re going to need to do the marketing to make sure people are aware of this new opportunity, which programs it will apply to, what kinds of jobs are available in those programs," said Piedmont Virginia Community College President Frank Friedman. "So we have a major communication issue and then, depending on student enrollment, we might have to expand faculty.”
Part of that messaging will begin at high schools across the state as teens explore their post secondary options.
Albemarle County Public Schools has a plan to help students figure out their interests through apprenticeship development.
“In work and community-based learning, we’re looking to do even more to align experiences of meaning and purpose for each student who graduates,” said Kimberly Link, Albemarle Public Schools’ community based learning coordinator.
The initiative will target low and middle income students who choose to enter certain industries including health care, information technology, and public safety.

The Venice in Peril charity has released images of a nativity triptych by the Bellini workshop which was in the final stages of cleaning before conservation studios closed last month due to the coronavirus outbreak.
The triptych, housed at the Accademia Galleries in Venice, was painted in the early 15th century for the church of Santa Maria della Carita, which now forms part of the galleries. Early last year, Venice in Peril launched a £55,000 appeal to support the conservation project in a bid to discover “more about Giovanni Bellini's early working life and the contribution made by his family [his father Jacopo and brother Gentile] and other artists in his workshop”.
Images posted on the charity’s Instagram feed show the restored lunette area (half-moon shaped part of the triptych). “For Easter week, we show the central section of the lunette with the Holy Trinity: God as a massive presence, with the Holy Spirit faintly outlined against his beard behind the vulnerable figure of Christ on the cross,” says the Instagram post.
Crucially, conservators working on the triptych say they are “impressed” by the quality of the underdrawings—preliminary sketches on the panel—that have come to light. “The Misericordia conservation studio in Cannaregio [Venice], where the Nativity Triptych by the Bellini family is being conserved by a team headed by Milena Dean, has had to close but we can share these wonderful images of details from the lunette which show the quality of the underdrawing using reflectography, and the colours and brushwork of the crucifixion,” says Venice in Peril, pointing to a detailed reflectography image of the figure of San Domenico from the lunette.
Conservators have also removed discoloured varnish, retouched areas, applied a protective layer and repaired woodworm holes.

SEE THE WORLD ONE DRAWING AT A TIME This is a group for all sketchers out there who love to draw the cities where they live and visit, from the window of their homes, from a cafe, at a park, standing by a street corner... always on location, not from photos or memory. The group was created in November of 2007 by Gabi Campanario and set the foundation for the Urban Sketchers blog (Nov. 2008) and a nonprofit organization dedicated to fostering the art of on-location drawing (Dec. 2009.) On our website, you can learn more about Urban Sketchers, our mission and activities. Before sharing your drawings in the pool, make sure they meet these basic criteria and they are done in the spirit of the Urban Sketchers Manifesto. • You did the drawing on location, not from photos or memory. • Submissions must provide location (City, State, Country) of sketch and show context or setting for objects, people, and places. • No sketches from figure drawing sessions, posed models or still lifes. • We draw on location, indoors or out, capturing what we see from direct observation. • Our drawings tell the story of our surroundings, the places we live and where we travel. • Our drawings are a record of time and place. • We are truthful to the scenes we witness. • We use any kind of media and cherish our individual styles. • We support each other and draw together. • We share our drawings online. • We show the world, one drawing at a time. We aim to maintain the group's pool focused on location drawings from every corner of the world. We reserve the right to remove any drawings that don't fit our mission. We also encourage members to write descriptions and stories associated with each sketch.

Skylanders: Spyro's Adventure
- Skylanders: Spyro's Adventure (2011 on PlayStation 3, Windows, Xbox 360...)
Description official description
When darkness came to the Radiant Isles, Hektore came with it, enslaving the Mystic Seekers and forcing them to create a mirror that would shroud the Radiant Isles from the rest of Skylands. With their task done, Hektore imprisoned them in various areas of the Isles. Only two Seekers, Fargus and his son Wendel, remained, waiting for a Portal Master who could bring the Skylanders to the Radiant Isles to face Hektore.
Spyro's Adventure for 3DS is a companion game for the Skylanders: Spyro's Adventure console game. The player takes the role of a Portal Master who will have Wendel summon two Skylanders at a time to gather the Radiant Crystals needed to remove the veil from the Radiant Isles, free the Seekers, and get rid of Hektore. The game has a hub, a Sanctuary hidden from Hektore, from which the different areas of the Radiant Isles are accessed. Each area has a number of platforming levels to be completed in order to advance through the game. The main goal of the levels is to find the Radiant Crystal, then flee from Hektore who will pursue the Skylanders until they reach the end of the level. The time allotted to flee is limited, and Hektore will start firing laser beams once the timer reaches 30 seconds. Once the main challenge is cleared, other challenges such as Elemental challenges that require a Skylander of a specific element, crystal (the game's currency) gathering challenges, chest-opening challenges and so on, will be unlocked, each rewarding an additional Radiant Crystal. A final Hektore challenge, a race against the clock, becomes available once all the other challenges in a level are completed. The Radiant Crystals have a similar role to that of the Stars in Mario 64, as a certain number of them is required to unlock new areas and progress through the game.
In this game, all the Skylanders from the console version can be imported using a wireless Portal of Power, but only two of them can be imported at once. In addition to their regular attacks, the Skylanders can jump and perform a double jump, as well as run for a short time. As they fight through the levels and gather crystals, they will gain experience and improve their abilities, which are gained by leveling-up rather than through an upgrade system. Each Skylander can reach up to level 10, and the experience gained is added to the figure's level. At the end of each level, the collected crystals are transferred into experience points distributed to both Skylanders.
The Starter Pack includes the Spyro's Adventure 3DS game as well as the following:* Dark Spyro figure

Watershed Planning – Key Components1 Establish Watershed Management Framework Identify Key Stakeholders Evaluate Current State of the Watershed Establish a Collective Vision Set a Clear Strategy Establish a Process for Applying the Watershed Plans 1 “Local Watershed Management Planning in Virginia,” VA DCR
State of Streams: 2005 • An updated water quality assessment of Loudoun County streams • Measures impacts on streams from land uses • Characteristics assesses: • Physical and biological water quality parameters • Aquatic biota, stream habitat, and riparian buffers • Characteristics not assessed: • Channel stabilization and erosion potential • Water flow and storage • Threatened and endangered wildlife species
DEQ’s Water Pollution Studies • DEQ conducted four bacteria and one benthic TMDL studies in Loudoun County • Studies identified pollution sources and calculated steps needed to restore water quality. • Provides the type of data needed to take action to clean up Loudoun waters.
Executive Summary Chapters: Introduction Assessing Stream Health Impaired Stream Water Countywide Monitoring Recommendations Watershed Profiles: Beaverdam Creek Catoctin Creek Limestone Branch Lower Goose Creek NF Goose Creek Piney Run State of Streams: 2005Table of Contents
Findings: Impaired Waters Impaired Waters – Loudoun streams are impaired – they don’t meet state water quality standards and they are often not safe for recreational use: Sugarland Run Broad Run Goose Creek Sycolin Creek Tuscarora Creek Little River NF Goose Creek Beaverdam Creek Catoctin Creek NF Catoctin Creek SF Catoctin Creek Piney Run Limestone Branch
Findings: Sources of Nonpoint Pollution Fecal pollution from livestock with access to streams is the #1 cause of impairments
Findings: Impact of Agricultural Land Uses Streambank erosion is filling our streams with sediments that destroy habitat for aquatic life and pollute the Chesapeake Bay
Findings: Impact of Impervious Surfaces Development is destroying riparian buffers, increasing stream flows, and eroding stream banks
Findings: Impact of Stormwater Flows High volume stormwater flows in urban areas are polluting our streams and erode stream banks
Findings: Impact of Inadequate BMPs BMPs do not protecting against down-stream erosion and property damage
Findings: Stream Habitats Flooding, erosion and sediments are creating poor habitat conditions for aquatic life in many streams
Loudoun County must develop plans to implement the Federal Clean Water Act, the Chesapeake Bay Act, and Virginia Water Quality Standards Watershed Management Planning!
Loudoun Water Management Authority! Loudoun County should create a water management authority to develop watershed management plans for each watershed, and oversee initiatives to restore the quality of Loudoun streams
Countywide Stream Monitoring Program! Loudoun County needs a countywide stream monitoring program to provide data to develop watershed plans, and to assess impacts of new BMPs on water quality and stream health.
Collaboration between State, County, and Citizens! We need to combine resources to tackle water pollution: • DEQ • DCR • Loudoun Soil and Water Conservation District • Loudoun County Health Department • Loudoun County Building and Development • Loudoun County General Services, Public Works • Loudoun County Planning • Loudoun County Sanitation Authority • Citizen Groups
Government--Citizen partnerships are the best way to solve problems like these . . .
