Whether you’re a year-long or summer resident, or just taking a family trip, anyone who has been in Green Lake for any period of time has a story to tell. Many of these tales involve the laughs shared and memories gained at Big Green Lake. It may be the biggest fish you caught while out on the waves with your grandpa or successfully making it around the lake for the first time on water skis. Maybe you and your friends took pictures of your best poses as you jumped into the glistening blue water. Perhaps it’s even sharing your day ice skating on Big Green Lake as you and your family warmed up around a roaring fire later that night. There’s no shortage of fun on the lake, and what’s more, you can explore these opportunities all year round, as Green Lake is a four-season destination!
When the ice begins thawing, it’s time to get the boat from storage and clean it up for a summer of great times. No boat? No worries! Green Lake has some of the best boat rentals in the area. It’s also home to seven public boat launches for easy access to begin your fun.
There are even two boat tours available to explore Green Lake with a guide, including Heidel House’s 60-foot catamaran-style yacht, Escapade , and Green Lake Tours’ refurbished 1980s Navy boat, J. Lawson . Both are ready for your wedding party, business outing, and any other private event.
Maybe a nice, leisurely day of fishing is more your style. Load up on bait and tackle downtown before jumping into the boat. The public can fish from their boats, public boat landings, and beaches. Green Lake waters are filled with a wide variety of fish, such as white bass, catfish, panfish, cisco, lake trout, large and smallmouth bass, brown trout, walleye, northern pike, and even muskie. See the chart on the next page for the best times of the year to spot these fish.
If you have the whole family along, a trip to the beach is surely on the list. The top three favorite beaches are Dodge Memorial County Park, Hattie Sherwood Park, and Sunset Park.
What you do on the water is up to you. Tubing, boating, waterskiing, sailing—the cards are in your hand.
As the weather grows colder, the waters of Green Lake, the deepest natural inland lake in the state, begin to freeze over. While it may look barren and boring, it’s what lurks below the surface that draws many to the area. One look at the lake in December and January reveals an array of ice shanties dotting the horizon. You can stock up on bait in town and then hit the ice for a day of ice fishing.
A family-friendly adventure in the winter is a trip to the Deacon Mills Park ice skating rink. Maintained by volunteers, this ice rink provides a beautifully lit winter wonderland in the late afternoons and evenings with a separate warming house to take a break in.

The area around Vilnius Plaza is a mixed-use development situated in Lithuania’s capital city. The development area enjoys direct visual links across the Nerris River to the Gediminas Castle Tower, one of Vilnius’ main historical attractions. To the south, the development abuts the Plaza to Vilnius Cathedral. The site, during the soviet era, was home to the City’s main football stadium which has since become unused and derelict. The residential area to the north with its tight-knit pedestrian network connects the site back into the Šnipiškės neighborhood. These conditions imply that the site has a potential as a cultural destination between north and south area.
The site can be seen as a cultural destination of Vilnius. The profound urban transformation of Vilnius during the past 50 years has taken it from being a newly formed developing city to now being at the forefront of progressive thinking about shaping cities for the new “urban age.” This new era is characterized by global trends such as climate change, declining natural resources, increased emphasis on sustainability along with the deeply felt local need for a sense of community, belonging to a place, and connection to nature.
Our design intention has been informed in part by elements of the site analysis. There was a noticeable progression running along the North South axis of the development site when extended into the wider urban context. Historical, traditional, demographic and cultural influences were apparent from the Old City to the south through to the more developed residential areas to the north. Physical topographical changes between the Castle on a mound to the south, across the river to the level northern zone were also conspicuous. These progressions through the landscape were abstracted to create the overall design narrative of a “surging landscape.”
We see this as an extraordinary opportunity to re-energize the promenade and plaza through more contemporary programming and design combined with innovative sustainability and urbanism strategies. We will make the site the “surging landscape” of Vilnius’s open space system. We envisage the site as a place that will continue to evolve and adapt without abandoning its rich landscape spectrums, where the site becomes a place that existing landscape elements are celebrated, and the future is promoted for the welfare of new generations.

- Track: Rice Torture
- Artist: The Four Owls
- Album: Natural Order
- Year: 2015
Today we return once more to the UK. It’s been a while. During lockdown, I’ve obviously spent more time at home than normal. To fill this void, I started to plough through Romesh Ranganathan’s excellent Hip Hop Saved My Life podcast. Anyone with even a passing interest in hip-hop should do the same. I’ve managed about 60 episodes so far, even though Romesh omits the hyphen in hip-hop, which irritates me.
Thanks to the podcast, I’ve discovered loads of new classic and contemporary hip-hop. An early-ish show features a couple of members of British crew the Four Owls. I liked what I heard, and decided to check them out. I’m glad I did. Now I’m the wrong side of 40 (deep breath), it’s getting harder to discover new music. I’ve really enjoyed feeling, even if for a fleeting moment, that I have my finger that little bit nearer the hip-hop pulse. Thanks, Covid-19, you’re the greatest.
Flocking together from Brighton, London and the South West, the Four Owls sport weird owl masks. I’m not sure if this is a nod to the mighty and permanently masked DOOM, but it might be. There are worse artists to take your cue from. They also use owl-related pseudonyms. I guess this makes them a parliament of rappers. (I promise this is the last terrible owl joke.) So this now makes three (roughly) bird-related posts in a row. Somebody call Bill Oddie. But these four must be doing something right; their 2020 album Nocturnal Instinct features DJ Premier, IHHSD inductee Kool G Rap and Masta Killa. Not bad.
Permit me to sound (even) old(er) for a second. I’ll admit that I hadn’t given much attention to the UK rap scene in recent years. I’ve let myself fall into the trap of thinking it was all, well, trap and grime these days. My tender, decrepit ears can’t take that stuff. But as The Four Owls prove, there are still British artists making what I’d wankily refer to as ‘pure’ hip-hop. This is boisterous, energetic (but not 140bpm) hip-hop with a classic focus on bass and snare beats. And, importantly for a middle-aged simile detective, lyrics delivered at a pace that I can understand.
This stone-cold banger opens The Four Owls’ second album, 2015’s Natural Order. I’ve not had time to fully digest their back catalogue yet (I’m straining to avoid an owl pellet reference here). So it’s possible there are Four Owls tunes with way more similes, but this one grabbed my attention right away. All Four Owls are expert simile users. Check out this one from BVA (pronounced ‘beaver’ I think, rather than as in the Blinded Veterans Association):
Forever defiant, skinny frame giantDefiant by the Four Owls
Always lean going round corners like Robin Reliants
When I get round to organising some sort of hip-hop simile world cup, this one’s going to be a strong contender for at least a quarter-final spot.
I normally find a thread to riff on through my ‘analysis’, but I’ve struggled a bit here. I’m not sure why. Maybe it’s because this is a fairly straight-forward set of rhymes without a common idea running throughout. Or it’s possible that it’s easier to gently take the piss out of twenty year old rap tunes than contemporary ones. It’s definitely harder when the rappers in question are young enough to easily batter me senseless. So what follows is more straight down the line than normal.
If you’re wondering what rice torture is, I would take the Urban Dictionary definition with a pinch of salt (or maybe brown sugar). There’s not much about it out there, at least as far as I can stomach looking. But I’m choosing to believe this slightly more prosaic explanation (it’s still gross).
Oh, and one more thing. You should definitely check out this track’s video. It’s brilliant.
[Verse 1 – Deformed Wing (Leaf Dog)]
The end is where I found a new beginning
Teaching a silkworm to make [something] with some fresh linen
Like a cobra with his teeth missing
I ain’t drinking what they’re sipping
First up is Leaf Dog (AKA Deformed Wing), who also doubles as the Owls’ beatmaker. It’s an in your face arrival, setting the tone for both the track and the album. I can’t work out what he’s teaching the silkworm to make, but I’m not going to dwell on it. The Genius transcription is solid, but has a few mistakes that I’ve corrected here where I can.
Subtle (and not so subtle) references to owls abound in the Four Owls’ lyrics, and here’s our first, in simile form too. Woo. It’s a nice bit of imagery, though I’m not sure what he was actually going for. It makes me think of a dodgy snake charmer (a snake oil charmer?) who’s tampered with his pet snake.
You can get the Hateorade edition
Pissed ‘cause no-one listens
We’re all about green like low emissions
I normally like to break lyrics down into groups of rhymes to not interrupt the flow. But because of Leaf Dog’s (ahem) dogged rhyming, it’s going to be tough here. So I’ll do the similes in smallish chunks. It’s worth listening to his verse a few times, because the acrobatics of his flow are easy to miss the first time.
Leaf Dog sets the standard for simile use in this track, with his three owl friends not quite living up to his example. This one’s obviously a declaration of love for marijuana. That’s why I chose the post title and picture. The Four Owls are not shy about this (if you didn’t watch the video, I suggest you do. You’ll see what I mean).
Here’s a new edition
Sent with no hesitation
All you see is flashing lights like interrogations
This simile makes me think of a blow to the head and seeing stars. I guess this bit is also introducing the album. I’ve categorised this simile under ‘police’ too because of the flashing lights thing, but it could be a more sinister type of interrogation.
Every bar’s a revelation
No dub samples, hold the Leaf’s reservation
Fuck with us like fornication
Ready to bust like a virgin on his penetration
Treat a sample like a mummy’s preservation
When you’re dealing with such a densely-packed simile spectacular, every bar is indeed a revelation. ‘Hold the Leaf’s reservation’ is what I hear, and it sort of makes sense, so let’s go with it.
Things turn a little blue here, but we’re all adults (I hope). Straightforward similes like this are by no means bad, it’s just hard to think of anything interesting or amusing to say about them.
Mildly interestingly, these first two similes are only the 7th and 8th in the database to be about sex. I’ve catalogued well over 300 so far. Given the tropes that people associate with rap music, you might find this surprising. And Kool G Rap skewed this with his priapic rap epic Talk Like Sex.
It’s also our first entry about mummies, but that’s less surprising.
You never have heart, you’re just racing
Need a machine to put the pace in
Never know who’s got your back like a Mason
Stick to tracks like the dog just pulled the sleigh in
Given how many rhymes Leaf crammed in, I reckon we can let him off ending on ‘sleigh in’. That’s what I hear anyway, the Genius transcription has ‘stick to tracks like the dog just booed his legging’. I’m not having that.
The Freemasons are obviously notorious for being a shady secret society. Though I think they’re trying to change that, I saw some on a recruitment drive in Stockport recently, of all places.
Oof. Eight similes in the first verse. That’s quite the start. Leaf Dog’s done a lot of the simile heavy lifting here, nearly half of them on the entire track. It’ll be good to have a bit of a breather then, as BVA (AKA Rusty Take-Off, the best owl pseudonym of the lot) can only muster two. But we’ll let him off because it’s still a great verse.
[Verse 2 – Rusty Take-Off (BVA)]
Burnt out connections idiot infection
Cannabis collections for paranoid reflections
Took classes A through C in a dream
Woke up and found the knowledge in a poorer g-string
I’m an untrained animal, I built a dam out of the manual
But keep dropping it like my hands are full
There’s no way it’s ‘poorer g-string’, but the best I can come up with is ‘porridgy stream’ which makes even less sense. BVA wears his drug-taking heart on his sleeve here, obviously not afraid to ruffle a few feathers (sorry).
This is the first of many of the track’s simile that I can’t think of anything interesting to say about. So let’s move swiftly on, because the next one is ace.
Something’s watching, but is it following?
Case on the table, is it my name they’re honouring?
But keep manoeuvring
I keep it smoother than the average type hooligan
Nice. Who cares if BVA’s similes are thin on the ground when the quality is this good? Your average hooligan will of course favour the skinhead look.
Didn’t meet but you knew my pen
Or knew my friends, that’s the High Focus
Call a doctor, this shit is sick, better grow the dosage
Comatose kids when the flow kicks back
Girls pop ’em out so fast, they get tit lash
Too many quit rap, bring Slick Rick back
We’ll sing rest in peace to the artists that switched rats
[Verse 3 – Big Owl (Fliptrix)]
I have no idea why artists would switch rats. I guess owls might, but it’s probably something else, maybe ‘racks’, like in a record store. That would make sense given the reference to quitting rap.
High Focus is the Four Owls’ record label, founded by our next feathered friend Fliptrix. Like his fellow Owls, he has a laid back, languid style that fits this beat beautifully.
My profession’s mic murdering
Approach from all angles, I’m climbing out of the furnishings
See the cops, then I’m swerving ’em
Three point shots, nothing but net, I’m serving ‘em
The queens head, I’m burning them
I’m living’ proof you get you dreams if you work for ’em
I lost memories like fam, I’m writing verse for ‘em
To Fliptrix, losing his memory is as bad as losing family members. He might want to lay off the green for a little while, it might help.
Pissy gift not a curse when I is turbulent
When lies emerge, protect your chest like your sternum does
While ‘pissy gift’ is almost certainly wrong, it makes me smile, so I’m leaving it in. But I’m going to pull Fliptrix up on a technicality here. The sternum more or less is the chest, protecting the heart and lungs. But that would be hard to make scan.
Sharpie with the flow, yeah, you know it’s so permanent
I percolate where the stench of pain permeates
My words are straight unlike the curves on the girl I date
Four Owls stay masked, like a burglar’s face
Flying so high, we’re found right by the Pearly Gates
Ooh. It’s been a while since we’ve seen a negative simile, they’re as rare as owls’ teeth. Because owls have beaks, obviously. And Fliptrix sticks with chicks with hips.
As mentioned above, the Four Owls are normally seen in their interesting looking masks. Mind you, it would take a ballsy burglar to rock these masks.
Now with a sound that gives the opposite a breakdown
Real will recognise real, the skill will take the fakes out
We’re three quarters of the way through the track, and (checks calculator) 82% of the way through the similes. So just a few more to tick off from Verb T, who wins the award for the least inspired owl-based alias.
[Verse 4 – Bird T (Verb T)]
Live and unleashed viper tongue T
Tie your tongue around your neck, man, I’m climbing up peaks
The mountaineer, now it’s clear, a new cycle
Pedalling fast, they’re messing with our survival
Terror to the eyeballs, effective to the brain
Blood, sweat and tears smeared over the terrain
It’s the path less travelled, the front is unravelling
The fabric disappears, now there’s just a hollow mannequin
Standing in the wilderness, bewildered by the silence
Unforgiving pain hidden deep like a sniper
Like a lot of hip-hop, and most of this track, Verb T’s verse isn’t about anything specific. It’s about flexing his wordplay muscle. There are loose themes here: being good at rapping, being hard, being successful. But it’s best to not get bogged down with it all. Enjoy the flow and the rhyming. Not everything needs to tell a story.
War and the military imagery crop up in hip-hop quite a bit. So it surprised me when I checked the records and saw it was only the fourth such simile to go in.
Take your best shot, fuck ’em up when I got ’em open
Like the virus on your desktop
I’m picking words like the best crops
These two lovely little examples wrap up our latest rap simile odyssey. I like the image of carefully picking words like a weed grower selecting their best buds.
Stress not while you seeing red and getting sent off
The rep got bigger and I’m still saying ‘F’ the critics
Been dope for years and I’m still getting better with it
And that’s that then. A healthy 17 similes from the Four Owls, earning them a spot in the similes per minute top ten. I’ve only done 22 tracks so far to be fair, but it’s still good going. They are now leading the way in the race to be crowned the UK’s top hip-hop simile dogs.
Although the focus has been on birds over the last three entries, today we welcome two new animals into the database: snakes and dogs. We’re building up quite the menagerie of similes here. It’s like I’m the Noah of nerdy hip-hop analysis.

Two prominent governors from northeastern states clashed yesterday over President Reagan's proposal to end the deductibility of state and local taxes, as House Ways and Means Committee members searched for a compromise that would prevent the controversial deductibility issue from derailing the overall plan.
Gov. Mario M. Cuomo (D) of New York, the most outspoken critic of repealing the deduction, squared off against Gov. Richard L. Thornburgh (R) of Pennsylvania, who defended the repeal as a vital part of the tax plan during a day-long hearing punctuated by bitter partisan exchanges.
Two other governors suggested ways to limit the deduction, rather than repeal it. Committee members also are looking for a compromise that would partially offset the cost of lowering overall tax rates without unduly affecting states and cities.
Repealing the deduction would raise $34 billion in revenue, the single largest chunk of money in the Reagan plan and an amount badly needed to pay for the proposed lower tax rates.
One compromise under discussion would continue the deduction for state and local income taxes, as well as sales and property taxes, but would limit the amount each taxpayer could deduct. The most popular proposal along those lines would let taxpayers write off the amount of their taxes that exceeded 1 percent of their adjusted gross income.
Another approach is to turn the deduction into a credit, so that taxpayers could subtract a portion of state and local taxes directly from their federal taxes.
A third possibility would be to retain deductibility only for certain taxes, such as property taxes, committee members said.
"I think we're going to come up with a compromise," said Rep. Robert T. Matsui (D-Calif.) "Everyone on the committee realizes this issue has to be negotiated."
Of the four governors who testified before the Ways and Means Committee, only Cuomo was adamantly against any limitation on deductibility. "I'm very much a believer in compromise, but the very genesis of this whole situation is inequitable," Cuomo said.
Thornburgh said the deduction has principally aided "a small percentage of persons with high incomes living in states with high and steeply graduated tax rates."
"I believe that ending this deduction is a reasonable and equitable price to pay for significantly reducing the average American's tax burden," Thornburgh said.
Cuomo said that "depicting this as a deduction for rich New Yorkers is a cynical distortion of the facts."
Under the Reagan plan, which would reduce the top income tax rate to 35 percent, a majority of taxpayers would get a tax cut, according to the Treasury Department.
However, ending the state- and-local deduction would increase taxes for a minority, many of them in states with high taxes, such as New York and the District of Columbia.
Administration officials believe they can persuade Congress to end all state and local tax deductions without compromising.
Govs. John Carlin (D) of Kansas and Richard D. Lamm (D) of Colorado, both testifying on behalf of the National Governors' Association, opposed wiping out the entire deduction but suggested avenues for negotiation.
The two governors said that limiting the amount of the deduction was a "constructive approach."

From Linsanity to Lincredible to Lintensity to the Lincessant coverage of Lintriguing New York Knicks guard Jeremy Lin, the world has pretty much exhausted all Lin-based puns, correct?
The New York Rangers, apparently trying to alert the greatly metropolitan area that there's a first-place hockey team in town, attempted to cash in on the mania surrounding Lin with this ad that ran in a recent edition of Newsday.
Certainly a proud day for Henrik Lundqvist and Swedish hockey history.

Apple and Google Talk Arbitration in Smartphone Spat
Apple and Google haven’t yet buried their respective hatchets over the patent litigation between them, but evidently they are willing to put them aside for a moment in the hopes of negotiating a broader peace.
A new court filing in the pair’s infringement case reveals that Apple and Google have been discussing the idea of resolving their dispute over standard essential patents via arbitration. Earlier this month, the companies exchanged proposals about hammering out some sort of global licensing agreement over standard essential patents, and both seem to agree that binding arbitration is the way to go. From the filing:
Apple is also interested in resolving its dispute with Motorola completely and agrees that binding arbitration may be the best vehicle to resolve the parties’ dispute. Accordingly, on November 8, 2012, Apple sent Motorola a letter agreeing that the parties should enter into arbitration and proposing the parameters of the arbitration.
On November 13, 2012, Motorola responded to Apple setting forth further proposals for the scope of the arbitration, and the parties are now negotiating how to proceed. Included in the parties’ discussions are proposals for a stand-still to the parties’ pending litigations.
A stand-down in litigation? Binding arbitration? That’s a remarkable easing of tensions between two companies that have been sparring the way Apple and Google have. What happened?
A few things:
- We need to remember that Apple CEO Tim Cook hates patent litigation, which he sees as a “pain in the ass.” And he’s gone on record saying Apple would prefer to settle IP disputes where it can. “I’ve always hated litigation and I continue to hate it,” Cook told analysts in April. “We just want people to invent their own stuff. So if we could get to some arrangement where we could be assured that’s the case and a fair settlement on the stuff that’s occurred, I would highly prefer to settle than to battle.”
- The patents Google acquired through its $12.5 billion acquisition of Motorola Mobility haven’t exactly proven a formidable weapon in the smartphone patent wars. Indeed, the patent portfolio Motorola first brought to bear in many of its cases against Apple has largely been winnowed down to standard essential patents the company is obligated to license on FRAND (fair, reasonable and nondiscriminatory) terms. And the fact that Google is using them as a weapon in these battles at all is drawing a lot of unwanted regulatory scrutiny ahead of the company’s imminent showdown with the FTC.
- Sources say those “secret” settlement talks between Apple CEO Tim Cook and Google CEO Larry Page earlier this year went reasonably well, setting the stage for the sort of tentative stand-down that’s now been proposed.
- Indeed, Apple actually made a settlement offer to Google earlier this year, sources say, but nothing came of it.
- Despite that, high-level background discussions between the two companies continued.
- Then, in October, Google abruptly withdrew a complaint it had brought against Apple with the International Trade Commission, not a month after the ITC agreed to review it.
- Sources say that withdrawal, which was never explained, was not a coincidence. Could it have been a goodwill gesture? Possibly. Certainly, it’s a clear de-escalation. As best I can tell, however, Apple has not responded in kind.
First, some background …
Now on to the specifics …
So what now?
That’s not at all clear. Though Google and Apple are talking arbitration, they are far from agreeing on the terms of an arbitration proceeding — let alone a reasonable royalty base. It’s entirely possible they never make it to arbitration.
But at least they’re talking about it.
Apple and Google both declined to comment on their negotiations.

Defence Minister Richard Marles remains optimistic Australia will have the capacity to make long-range missiles in coming years.
The Albanese government has set aside $4.1 billion for more missiles and to ensure long-range munitions could be manufactured in Australia.
The package, announced just days after the release of the defence strategic review, will see $1.6 billion be used to accelerate the delivery of mobile rocket systems known as HIMARS and precision strike missiles.
A further $2.5 billion will be used for guided weapons and explosives, which Mr Marles said would be a significant increase.
“It’s a complete game changer in being able to have a capability to manufacture guided weapons in this country,” he told ABC Radio on Wednesday.
“We’re confident … we will be able to see the beginning of manufacturing in this country within the next couple of years.”
The strategic review into the defence force found the military wasn’t fit for purpose and recommended a focus on long-range strike power to target enemies deeper into the Indo-Pacific.
Mr Marles said talks are under way with major manufacturers about setting up facilities in Australia.
“What we’ve really seen in the war in Ukraine is the worldwide shortage of missiles amongst our friends and allies,” he said.
“For us to acquire this capability for our country going into next five to 10 years, we’re simply going to have to develop an industrial base in this country which can contribute to the manufacturing of guided weapons.”
The minister reiterated defence spending would rise above two per cent of Australia’s GDP, with $19 billion set to be spent during the next four years to implement the findings of the strategic review.
Mr Marles also defended calls that major procurements were being delayed in order for more reviews to be carried out.
“We’re talking about turning around the mission of defence for the first time in 35 years, you don’t do that in a single press conference,” he said.
“Well before Geelong wins the grand final, we will have an answer in relation to what the shape of our future surface fleet looks like, and I think taking an extra couple of months on its own in respect of that makes sense.”
Opposition defence spokesman Andrew Hastie said there were still risks with the review, which recommended a cut back in infantry fighting vehicles from 450 to 129.
“What we were hoping to see was an overall increase in defence spending, what we’ve seen instead is cost shifting and cuts to capability, specifically army land power,” he told ABC Radio.
“That has consequences if we have to fight in a close combat scenario in our northern land or maritime spaces, or indeed in the Pacific island chain, you’ve got to have that capability and there’s a risk not having it.”

The Mughal style of carpet is a type of Indian carpet that is considered to be the oldest ones. Over the course of the 17th century, the local artists slowly replaced the Persian artists and artisans in the great workshops depended more specifically on Indian taste and preference. The Mughal style of carpet was influenced by the passion for botany of Akbar's son, the emperor Jahangir (reigned 1605-1627). Under his rule all the arts inclined toward representations of a floral character, which were delivered with such naturalism and presented such a variety of species that they competed with Western herbals. Under the reign of Shah Jahan (reigned 1628-1658), this type of carpets reached full expressive maturity, evident in the perfect realism of its renderings and close attention to detail.
Indian dyers used the means of repeated dyeings to obtain singular shades and colours so intense that they seem enameled. Typical of Indian rugs is lac red, with its characteristic bluish reflections that are obtained from an insect of the cochineal family known as lac and used in grounds; against this colour stand out designs coloured light yellow, mustard yellow, light led, emerald green, pink, midnight blue, light blue, light green, orange, black, and brown. Another particularity of these types of carpets is the way colours are combined, for this is done without outlines, even when two different tones of the same tint are used side by side, such as red and pink or blue and light blue. The borders of these carpets are characterised by a dark ground, rendered using a strong green-blue, suitable for making contrasts with the lac red of the field.
Antique type of carpets is priced at high rates in India. Almost all existing antique Indian rugs are held in great collections at museums; dating back to the 16th to 17th centuries, they can be grouped into decorative types that show varying degrees of liability to central or eastern Persia. Given their stylistic uniformity, the areas where they were made cannot be recognised with certainty.
Floral Rugs or Floral carpets are the most common type of Indian carpets. They are mostly attributed to Lahore. The flowering plants, often of many different species, are arranged in the entire body within a grid, the shape of which varies, or are arranged in the more typically Mughal style of horizontal rows. In one 18th-century layout, the flowers are made small and presented in thick arrangements, each flower joined to another by extensions of its stem, a scheme directly suggestive of Persian floral carpets. Also included in this type are the Indo-Esfahan carpets and certain exceptional examples with trees, which are often presented with flowering foliage.
Prayer rugs are another type of Indian carpets. The Mughal prayer rugs are composed of a highly articulated mihrab, the interior field of which is coloured with lac red and displays Mughal flowering plants in large size to indicate the realistic transformation of the symbolic tree of life. In the so-called millefleurs prayer rugs dates back its origin in the 18th century, myriad tiny flowers of diverse species instead thickly cover the field and always growing from a single plant; the niche of these prayer rugs is often bordered by two typical cypresses.
Portuguese carpets are quite similar to the Persian carpets and are variously attributed to northern or southern Persia or to the Portuguese colony in Goa. Besides, the people in European dress that appear on these carpets, the Indian origin hypothesis is supported by the particularly concentrated and mixture of brilliant colours. The subjects of figural carpets sometimes tell episodes from Indian epics but more often display hunting scenes. These carpets have greater vigor than Persian figural carpets in part because of the unbalanced creation of their elements but mainly because of the size and importance of illustrations portrayed through the figures with respect to the floral ground. Furthermore, the figures are usually displayed in movement. Typically Indian illustration on Indian carpets is the presence of an elephant, and feature of these carpets is the design of the border, often peculiarly enlivened by fantastic masks. Included within this group are examples decorated with the waq-waq tree.
The various types of Indian carpets are showcased in stores all across the nation with diverse origins and designs. The colors and patterns of these carpets are unique and exquisite from the very next one and are still one of the best buys in the market.

The Gang Goes in Search of a Villain in First Teen Titans GO! to the Movies Trailer
We all feel overlooked sometimes, but imagine being the only superhero in Hollywood without a movie. Such is life for the Teen Titans, and they’re on a mission to land a movie deal of their own. In an ironic twist, this is the plot of Teen Titans GO! to the Movies, the superhero sidekick’s big screen debut. The first trailer is here and it’s filled with comedic moments, if not so much crimefighting.
Robin (Scott Menville), Beastboy (Greg Cipes), Raven (Tara Strong), Cyborg (Khary Payton), and Starfire (Hynden Walch) are ready for their moment. When a movie preview announces a new film about ‘Batman’s greatest ally and best friend in the whole world’ Robin gets his hopes up for his own biopic. But, the honor goes to Alfred, Batman’s trusty butler, and the Teen Titans are left out in the cold again. We hate to admit it, but Alfred actually sounds like a pretty good movie now that they mention it—and Robin’s pals agree.
Robin wants his own glory, however, and leads the charge straight to the Warner Bros. lot where he gets shut immediately down by a producer. In fairness, Cyborg was just featured in Justice League, but the Titans want a movie all their own.
The gang realizes that what they need to land a movie deal is an arch nemesis. Enter Deadpool! Oops, we mean Deathstroke (Will Arnett). Even bad guys can be sensitive about being overshadowed by other comic characters. Deathstroke explains that he came out “way before” Deadpool. And anyway, his name is Slade Wilson! Holy cow – that’s a lot like Wade Wilson. Anyway, moving on. The Teen Titans have found their villain.
We also get a listen at Nicolas Cage’s voice as Superman. The superheroes who have already had their big break, including the Green Lantern and Wonder Woman, don’t support the Titans’ dreams. Superman is like the popular quarter back who doesn’t think they belong on the team. We love Superman, but there is room for every hero in the universe and we’ll be rooting for the Titans to get their big break.
Teen Titans GO! to the Movies July 27.

Holy Routines: Finding God in the Boundaries of TimeBlog / Produced by The High Calling
On a Saturday, I left my husband and the boys at home and drove to the WalMart in our small city for my weekly grocery shopping. When I had parked and began checking my purse for the shopping list and pen I knew were there, I noticed that my cell phone was not. I must have left it at home. For a few seconds I panicked. What if someone needed to get in touch with me? But then I remembered I was close to home, would be gone for only an hour or so, and the world didn’t hinge on my availability.
As I shopped untethered by the transmitted signal of a nearby cell tower, I thought of Vicky Beeching’s essay in the New Statesman. After dropping her mobile phone next to the tube track in London, she found herself similarly disconnected by a lack of her iPhone for several hours. In addition to having no contact with friends and no capacity for looking up directions, she also found herself more aware of the natural pauses and rhythms of her day, gaps she would normally fill with email checking or social media posting.
Smartphone-free, I noticed throughout the afternoon and evening that I’d regained the natural pauses that happen between events. No screen to gaze into while commuting, no email to check in the coffee queue, no Instagram photo to snap of my dinner before eating it. Life had breathing spaces again. Moments to process thoughts, rather than just consume yet more information. Yes, I felt oddly disconnected from my virtual community; oddly alone, but in a way that reminded me how much I needed to do so on purpose.
Perhaps it is the “in between” and “on purpose” of Beeching’s revelation that lie at the center of a life built on routine and ritual, a life sometimes at odds with our fast-paced, plugged-in existence.
Routines Are Rigid
As a young woman, I eschewed all appearance of routine and ritual in my daily life. People who stuck to a strict schedule in their waking and working and their eating and sleeping appeared rigid to me, decidedly un-fun. Life had too much to offer to drive the same routes or order the same menu options. I played fast and loose even with my getting-ready-for-the-day rituals: sometimes I showered at night, sometimes in the morning. Sometimes I got up early, ready for the day. Sometimes I forgot to set the alarm and barely made it to work.
The daily chaos from a lack of routine might work for some people. For me, it did not. I kept seeking fulfillment in less structure while the one thing that would help me be productive and find my way was a little more structure.
David Brooks talks about this in an op-ed piece. “People who lead routine … lives have a bad reputation in our culture,” he writes. “But life is paradoxical. In situation after situation, this pattern recurs: order and discipline are the prerequisites for creativity and daring.”
Routines Are Necessary
Ironically, as an older woman, I have not only reversed course, but most days, I find it hard to even be happy without some semblance of order to my hours. Routines help me wake and shower and eat and pray and find my way to productivity. Small rituals like morning coffee and a few minutes of Bible reading open the door to my day. Without them, I’m left rattling the handle, keys jangling as I try the lock. When I am on vacation, I plot out an artificial schedule so I’ll have a peg to hang my rituals on.
I find a kindred spirit in Gretchen Rubin of The Happiness Project, whose research and writing centers around the idea that what we do every day matters more than what we do every once in a while. In a blog post, she talks about her own rituals and how they help ground her in life.
I’ve noticed that some people really enjoy being away from their usual routines; they try to avoid having a lot of habits; they feel freer, more energetic, and more creative when their lives are less predictable. I’m just the opposite. I embrace habits and routine. For me, discipline brings a sense of freedom, and I love the sense of my day unfolding as I’ve planned.
In my midlife, I have become what the younger me feared, so structured I sometimes miss the Spirit’s leading, so rigid that I risk meaninglessness with my rituals. Yet just as the high tides and the autumn leaves and the sandhill cranes and the harvest moon conform to the patterns they were created for, so my soul finds rest in the ebb and flow of sleep and wake, work and play, hunger and satisfaction, and the ordinary activities that usher me in and out of their rhythm.
Routines Are Deliberate
When I must, I abandon the routines during periods of crisis or help for others or business travel. These rituals are not my life. I can live without them. Yet when I am away from them, I yearn for their order; I long for the way they bring me daily, weekly, monthly, annually to my work, to my rest, to my meals, to my worship, whether I am ready or not. Even in my predictable middle age, I fear I often would not choose to go to the places I am needed if my rituals did not walk me there deliberately.
In her essay “Life in a Different Kind of Time,” Lucy Winkett talks about the importance of rituals in our lives as a way of marking time. She says our fast-paced lives mark time with the second hand; rituals mark time with the hour hand, “imperceptible movement, no less true but a lot less anxious. Rituals help us do nothing less than live a different kind of time.”
But is the word “ritual” reserved only for our religious or sacred acts? Or are the daily routines, the natural pauses between our regular starting and stopping, also occasions to mark time differently? Winkett says yes.
If rituals help us navigate the thresholds of life when emotion is high and the tectonic plates of desire, fear, hope and despair collide, then the truth is that I travel a long way not just when I’m celebrating the Eucharist but while I’m walking the dog. Ordinary life is full of grief and miracles. Rituals are performed at the boundaries, on the border. What we do almost every day, sometimes without noticing, is step over the line.
So whether it’s a warm cup of tea or a daily commute or the open-hearted awareness of ordinary life, we do well when our routines bring us often and regularly to receive what God has for us in the boundaries of time we might otherwise miss.
We have asked some members of our community to share their holy routines. At first glance, these routines may not seem holy at all. However, in this series, Holy Routines, our writers extend an invitation to you to walk beside them in the actions and interactions and spaces that often seem ordinary but also usher them into the presence of God. We hope that spending a few moments in the holy routines of a few friends will inspire you to see and meet God in daily moments you may be tempted to rush through, or where you feel tempted to overlook the presence of the Holy Spirit. Perhaps this series will give you permission to savor the sacred in the ordinary moments of your day.

Surrey County Council buys Weybridge office building for £15.9m
2nd February 2021
London, UK – Family owned trading company, The RO, has sold the freehold interest in Dakota,
Brooklands, Weybridge to Surrey County Council for £15.9 million.
The Brooklands estate, which was formed within the perimeter of the historic Brooklands motor racing
circuit, is home to one of the largest clusters of blue-chip occupiers in the South East, including Sony,
Procter & Gamble, Royal Caribbean Cruises, Cargill, LG and Mercedes-Benz World. It sits directly
opposite the renowned St George’s Hill Estate.
The Dakota building was recently redeveloped and extended by RO and provides circa 36,000 sq ft of
Grade A office space with large new private terraces.
Surrey Country Council will occupy the 1st and 2nd floors, comprising circa 22,000 sq ft, relocating staff
from County Hall in Kingston. The 3rd floor is already let to Robert Half International and the ground
floor to Yooserv Limited.
Surrey County Council was advised by Vail Williams. The RO was advised by Knight Frank.
Tim Oliver, leader of Surrey County Council, comments: “We are seeing through our commitment
to move our staff back into the county of Surrey after more than 50 years in Kingston. The move will
not only save us money and reduce our carbon footprint as an organisation, but it brings our staff
closer to the residents we serve. I’m delighted that once we come out of COVID restrictions, staff will
now be able to work flexibly across the county including from these fantastic new premises in Reigate
David Kershaw, Group Real Estate Director, the RO, added: “We are delighted with our sale of
Dakota to Surrey County Council. The capital generated by this sale will enable us to look at attractive
new opportunities, as well as continuing to invest in our existing assets.
“In the last two years we have modernised many of our buildings, including Dakota, as well as
locations in Sevenoaks, Southampton and Watford. Covid-19 has accelerated a change in working
practices and businesses are now more focused than ever on finding quality office space that satisfies
employee wellbeing and enhances creativity and collaboration in decentralised locations.
“Dakota was always a very special project for us; being the first multi-tenanted building in Europe to
achieve Fitwel certification and we wish Surrey County Council and its employees much success and
enjoyment in their new building.”

Former Los Angeles Lakers General Manager Jerry West continues to play offense against HBO, vowing to take his beef against the network all the way to the Supreme Court.
West contends that HBO’s scripted series “Winning Time” about the 1980s dynasty of the LA Lakers, also called the Showtime Era, “makes the Lakers look like cartoon characters.”
Lakers legend Magic Johnson has also taken issue with the show, describing the way in which the show portrays him as "somebody telling you something that wasn’t true” and someone else's opinion about what happened during those years.
Fox Sports host Colin Cowherd recently defended “Winning Time” on his show "The Colin Cowherd Podcast." Cowherd acknowledged that the show takes dramatic liberties in characterizing West, but pointed out that this is what Hollywood does and advised West to “chill out.”
West’s lawyer sent a letter to HBO demanding that the network apologize. HBO shot back in a statement, “The series is not a documentary and is a depiction based on extensive facts and research.”

LONDON – The governor of the Bank of England on Wednesday waded into the delicate question of whether Scotland would be able to use the pound should it become independent, saying a successful currency union would require giving up some sovereignty.
Independence advocates say they want to continue to use the pound as the country’s currency if the Scottish people vote for separation this year.
Mark Carney warned that successful currency unions still require some level of common fiscal policy and bank supervision. The recent debt crisis in the countries sharing the euro shows the risks of what can happen if those measures aren’t put into place, he said.
“In short, a durable, successful currency union requires some ceding of national sovereignty,” Carney said at a meeting in Edinburgh of the Scottish Council for Development and Industry.
Carney stressed it was up to the parliaments of Britain and Scotland to decide whether Scotland continues to use the pound in the case of independence. The Bank of England would implement whatever policy they chose.
“Decisions that cede sovereignty and limit autonomy are rightly choices for elected governments and involve considerations beyond mere economics,” he said.
Carney’s remarks are important because independence leader Alex Salmond, Scotland’s first minister, has repeatedly stressed that the pound would remain the country’s currency — a selling point to his movement. While Scotland is part of the U.K., it has had its own Parliament since 1999 and makes its own laws in many areas — but it is considering a full break.
Salmond’s governing Scottish National Party supports independence, but the opposition Labour and Conservative parties oppose it. The U.K. would have to agree to a currency union for it to become reality.
Carney stressed, however, he was not taking a position on the vote and that he was simply offering information.
“This is a technocratic assessment of what makes an effective currency union between independent nations,” he said.
The Scottish National Party quickly praised Carney’s “serious and sensible analysis of how a currency union can work in practice.
“Ultimately, as Mr. Carney makes clear, a Sterling area is a matter for the two governments to agree,” Scottish Finance Secretary John Swinney said. “Such a shared currency area is the common sense position as it is in the overwhelming interests of both Scotland and the rest of the U.K.”
Such an agreement would not be simple, said Monique Ebell, an economist at the National Institute of Economic and Social Research who is working on the economic issues of Scottish independence. Countries in a monetary union agree to support each other — and the U.K. economy would dwarf that of Scotland.
“Would a country the size of Scotland really be able to bail out the rest of the U.K.?,” she said. “In theory, the insurance is a two-way street. In practice, it would likely be a one-way street.”
Scotland votes on Sept. 18, and political battles in the run-up to the referendum have come in many ways other than straightforward pocketbook politics. British Prime Minister David Cameron has argued fiercely against it, saying among other things that people living in Scotland would pay an extra 1,000 ($1,600) a year in taxes. Salmond said Scots would actually pay less than they pay now.
Polls have consistently put support for independence at between 25 per cent and 30 per cent over the past three years, with support for remaining in the union at between 45 per cent and 50 per cent. But the number of undecided voters is significant.

The 2016 APMAs Announces Performers BABYMETAL + Judas Priest’s Rob Halford, Dashboard Confessional & More, Plus New Guests & Appearances
Each year, the Journeys Alternative Press Music Awards, Fueled by Monster Energy brings fans exciting collaborative performances from today’s most celebrated alternative music artists. Previous performances combining the talents of Slash and Joan Jett & The Blackhearts; Asking Alexandria and Korn vocalist Jonathan Davis; Falling In Reverse, Coolio and Tyler Carter of Issues; Halestorm and Slipknot/Stone Sour vocalist Corey Taylor and more have dazzled audiences worldwide. The 2016 APMAs will present even more of these incredible performances — the first of which will feature none other than legendary heavy metal vocalist Rob Halford of Judas Priest and pop metal phenomenons and Best International Band nominees BABYMETAL! Combining raw 1970’s-era classic heavy metal influences with fresh modern visuals and Japanese pop styles, this performance will be a can’t-miss moment amidst the evening’s festivities.
In an official Alternative Press video announcement, BABYMETAL’s SU-METALstates, “I am still at a loss of what to feel, but to be able to perform together with the metal god, I am in disbelief… I know it will be an amazing experience for us and I am really looking forward to it.”
BABYMETAL, the breakout all-girl-fronted Japanese heavy metal/teen-pop hybrid group featuring 18-year-old SU-METAL and 16-year-olds YUIMETAL and MOAMETAL, backed by a four-piece band, released their sophomore album Metal Resistance this past April (debuting atop Billboard’s “World Albums” chart and iTunes’ “Top Heavy Metal Albums” chart) and took the world by storm when they made their U.S. late-night TV debut on The Late Show with Stephen Colbert (April 5).
Rob Halford of Judas Priest defines the ideals, imagery and musicality of heavy metal. He has become an icon of the industry and Judas Priest have reigned as one of the most influential and popular metal bands of all time since their formation in 1969. From one decade to the next, Halford has led the way with an aggressive, yet melodic vocal delivery and a ferocious scream that could crack the ceiling of the Sistine chapel. After their groundbreaking 1990 album, Painkiller, Priest and Halford parted company for a few years, but in 2004, Halford resumed his role as frontman with Judas Priest and they have continued to record head-banging, jaw-dropping metal and perform sold-out concerts for arena and stadium audiences across the world.
Halford adds, “It’s really cool to hear and watch such a strong young Japanese metal band make solid growth in the world with such unique conviction and invite me to head bang along with them for this special appearance. Further proof of the continuing power exchange from the roots of metal into the future metalsphere!”

New Delhi, August 18: The Union Health Ministry has asked eight designated hospitals that treat rare diseases to each set up an expert committee, which will decide whether to provide the cash assistance of Rs 50 lakh within a month of receiving the a patient’s request for financial assistance.
The eight Centers of Excellence (CoE) will also receive one-time financial support of up to Rs 5 crore for the purchase of equipment to strengthen patient care services for screening, diagnosis and prevention (prenatal diagnosis). rare diseases based on a gap analysis, according to new guidelines issued by the Ministry of Health.
In addition, other Centers of Excellence will be added for regional outreach if found appropriate in terms of infrastructure and human resources based on the recommendations of the Technical Committee of the Ministry of Health and Welfare. family, as directed. On August 11, the ministry released the guidelines and procedures for providing financial assistance to patients with rare diseases such as thalassemia, haemophilia and sickle cell disease under the National Policy for Rare Diseases ( NPRD), 2021.
On May 19, the ministry increased financial support from Rs 20 lakh to Rs 50 lakh for patients belonging to all categories of rare diseases. According to the guidelines, a “rare disease committee” must be set up in each center of excellence. The nodal head for rare diseases of the hospital will be the secretary member of the committee and the CoE can also opt for an external expert in the panel, if necessary.
Applications received from patients or guardians will first be reviewed by the Nodal Officer and then submitted to the committee for review and approval. The committee will make a decision on the processing and allocation of funds within four weeks of receiving the application.
Employees of Central Government/State/PSU/Autonomous Bodies/Statutory Bodies and their families, who are beneficiaries of any Central Government Scheme, such as CGHS/EHS etc., Government Health Scheme State and any other PSU schemes/autonomous bodies/statutory bodies, will not be eligible for financial assistance in accordance with NPRD, 2021.
There will be no reimbursement of expenses already incurred. Families covered by Ayushman Bharat – Pradhan Mantri Jan Arogya Yojna (AB-PMJAY) will also be eligible for financial assistance as per NPRD, 2021, if the disease is not covered under AB-PMJAY packages.
The guidelines mentioned that a maximum eligible financial aid under the scheme would be Rs 50 lakh per patient and the financial aid would be given to the relevant CoE, where the patient receives treatment/is admitted for treatment. Financial assistance will not be given directly to the patient, the ministry said.
As provided in the policy, state governments should support patients with these rare diseases (listed in Group 2) that can be managed with special diets or hormonal supplements or other relatively inexpensive interventions. The guidelines also mention the crowdfunding portal, which was set up in August last year to receive such a fund for patients with rare diseases.
Given limited resources and compelling health priorities, it will be difficult for the government to fully fund the treatment of high-cost rare diseases. The gap will be filled by providing financial assistance through crowdfunding, according to the guidelines, adding that a crowdfunding portal “http://rarediseases.nhp.gov.in/” http://rarediseases.nhp .gov.in has already been set up to receive such a fund, the guidelines read.
CoEs will share information about patients, the diseases they suffer from and the estimated cost of treatment on the crowdfunding portal. CoEs have the possibility to explore the possibility of obtaining financial support from other agencies/drug manufacturers/business sector in the context of CSR by signing a memorandum of understanding.
The NPRD-2021 provides for a national hospital registry of rare diseases at the ICMR. The registry should provide information on hospital data and disease burden. In order to streamline the process of entering data for various rare diseases, Centers of Excellence have been asked to immediately enroll in the ICMR registry.
There are three groups into which patients diagnosed with rare diseases have been classified. Group 1 includes disorders amenable to a one-time cure, while Group 2 includes diseases requiring long-term lifelong treatment with relatively lower treatment cost and benefits have been documented in the literature and annual or more frequent monitoring is required. In group 3 are the diseases for which a definitive treatment is available, but the challenges are to make an optimal selection of patients for a benefit, a very high cost and a lifelong treatment.
The eight Centers of Excellence are AIIMS, New Delhi; Maulana Azad Medical College, New Delhi; Sanjay Gandhi Postgraduate Institute of Medical Sciences, Lucknow; Postgraduate Institute of Medical Education and Research, Chandigarh; Fingerprint and DNA Diagnosis Center with Nizam Institute of Medical Sciences; King Edward Medical Hospital, Mumbai; Institute of Postgraduate Medical Education and Research, Kolkata; and Human Genetics Center with Indira Gandhi Hospital in Bengaluru.

Recollections of Columbia, Wisconsin
by Mabel Schlender Jonkel
Contributed by Sarah Poertner
transcribed by Crystal Wendt & Michelle Harder.
*L.B. Varney of Minneapolis, came to Columbia about 1905. Mrs. Varney was s sister to Mr. Bliss and Mrs. McKinney, of Columbia. In a short while Mr. Varney passed on. The son, Frank, came to live with his mother. He had been an actor and talented in the Arts. Often he wrote home talent plays to fit the characters. He also did painting. Mrs. Varney had been very active in club work, being a delegate to conventions all over the U.S.A. They returned to Minneapolis about 1915. Mr. and Mrs. Sollberger, Sr., later bought the home and spent their retirement there. Albert Sollberger later bought it for a hunting lodge. *Henry Schendland also bought lots at the Columbian Exhibition. He had been an electrician in Germany and returned in 1893. In 1898 he sent his wife and four children Alfred, Rudolph, Edwin and Hertha to Columbia and he followed two years later. They could not speak English and had no place to move. They stayed with the Schlenders until the Lamon home or "black house" as it was known, could be rented. It was a block south of the school near the tracks. Mrs. Schwendland furnished the place and they lived there until Mr. Schwendland came. In the meantime she bought forty acres of land south of the school. A small home was built and later enlarged. A farm was cleared and developed where Mr. and Mrs. Schwendland stayed until their passing. They were buried in the Columbia cemetery.
The Schwedland children had their picture taken in Germany before coming to the states. They are Edwin, Alfred, Hertha and Bruno Schwedland.
Alfred never married. Rudolph, who was known as Bruno, traveled throughout the west where he married. Edwin lived with Sam Hutchins at Day Corners in Levis. Later he went to Milwaukee where he married. Hartha married and lives in Chicago. Leo was born in America. He stayed with his folks until the age of eighteen they he worked for the Ford company in Detroit where he married. After his wife passed on and in retirement he returned to Columbia to visit. Here he married the former Frances Poertner; the widow of Albert Sollberger. They retired to Cherokee Village, Arkansas.
*C.A. Winton came form Iowa in a covered wagon in 1897 to his farm two miles west of Columbia. There were four daughters. Jennie married Julius Winters of Columbia and they farmed in Levis. Later they bought a farm two miles west of Columbia. They raised eight children.
Bernice married George Kopp of Columbia and lived with his folks for awhile. Then they bought a farm on Black River road in Levis. They had four children. Bernita, a twin of Bernice, lived in Canada many years. Hattie accidentally drowned in the Black River at the age of thirteen. Mr. Winton passed on in 1917.

Congenital heart defects are one of the most common genetic anomalies, and is the leading cause of deaths in infants. The biology of how cardiac progenitor cells become the first functional organ in the embryo is therefore an important process to resolve. The cardiac progenitor cells are initially specificed very early in development as two populations of cells within the embryo that later migrate and to meet at the midline and form the heart tube. Eventually through a process known as morphogenesis this population of cells evolve to build a functional heart that provides the pump for nutritional and waste exchange in the embryo. This proposal aims to elucidate the role for the Fibroblast Growth Factor signaling (FGF) and (ETS) transcription factors in heart formation. FGFs have been implicated to play an important role in heart formation and mutations in components of this signaling pathway that alter cellular communication during embryogenesis are the cause of human genetic disease, that often includes cardiac defects. We will test the hypothesis that FGFs and ETS factors are required during the earliest phases of cardiac progenitor specification (Aim 1). More important we will determine the mechanism of gene regulation by FGFs and Ets factors (Aim 2). Further, we have identified a small molecule that hyperactives FGF signaling in the embryo and future studies will determine its affects on cardiac development (Aim 3). Understanding how FGFs can alter cell fate and the genes that they control to achieve this is a fundamental question of how cells are molded into organs. This proposal will combine the embryological and genetic features of the zebrafish embryo to answer these questions.
. The manual for heart formation is written in as a set of detail instructions encoded in the DNA. How these instructions are read and implemented by cells that eventually become a functional beating organ is the focus of this proposal. Specifically the goal is to understand how a family of ETS transcriptional factors can direct cardiac development in the zebrafish. Another goal related to heart development is the idea that chemical compounds can be used to influence heart growth and differentiation. To reach this goal, we have developed a zebrafish biosensor that can report on signaling activity and have identified a small molecule that can expand cardiac progenitors during development. Understanding how this molecule acts to increase heart tissue is an important step towards developing potential treatment for cardiac damage caused by heart disease.

Resistive switching effect is observed for a gallium–indium/gallium oxide/graphene junction. The use of a gallium-based liquid metal (LM) alloy, in this case, the eutectic gallium–indium with its native gallium oxide skin, directly provides the metal top contact and the oxide layer needed to fabricate a memory.
Graphene is used as the bottom electrode due to its electrical properties and, importantly, because it prevents the formation of alloys, leading to a stable simple junction. With this structure, the ON/OFF ratio at 0.5 V between the high resistance state (HRS) and low resistance state (LRS) reached is ∼104 under ambient conditions. Deposition of an additional switching layer is not needed compared to other resistive random access memories [RRAMs], which makes this system less complex to fabricate. The migration of the oxygen atoms of the oxide layer would be intuitively considered the main reason for the modulation of the tunneling junction resistance, but we suggest that this is not the case and instead of that, charge trapping/detrapping at the very interface may dominate the switching function.
