I am going to start out by saying that there was so much wrong with this film that I don't even know where to start. Emma saw this film before I did and I have not seen her review, but I know she had to be thinking after she saw it that "Catt is going to hate this film". You know what, she would be right. When the film first started there was this really creepy music playing that had me thinking whether or not I walked into the wrong theater. The music got weirder as the film went on. I also want to know what the deal was with all the financial broadcasting about the economy in the background of almost every scene they shot. Maybe it was some kind of subliminal messaging, but I sure didn't get it. It was more annoying than anything else. They even found un-clever ways of incorporating the president into some of the scenes. Were they trying to say that it is the president's fault that people have to resort to crime in this economy? Who knows? The only thing that I found remotely interesting was a scene that was shot in slow motion so that you could get the full effect of a violent act. The film mainly centers around the activities of Frankie (Scoot McNairy) and Russell (Ben Mendelsohn), who are two junkies looking for a way to score some quick cash. When things go bad, Jackie (Brad Pitt) is brought in to rectify the situation. I am not sure why Brad got top billing in this film. He really didn't do a whole lot in the action department, but when he did; it was brutal. However he did manage to do a lot of talking. I guess they just needed a big name to draw people into the theater, because the story was definitely not going to do the trick. I am not really sure why Mickey (James Gandolfini) was even in the film. They could have left his character out completely and it would not have changed the outcome of the film one bit. Markie Trattman (Ray Liotta) is the catalyst that gets the ball rolling in this film. I found his character to be one of the stupidest. I was truly bored in this film. When the film was about three quarters of the way done, I could have sworn that I heard someone snoring in the theater. This film was killing me softly in the theater. I give it a red light.
This film was truly enjoyable. Peter Ramsey who is known mostly for his story boarding work did a fantastic job with this film. I think that of all the guardians, the one that I really understood first as a child was the Sandman. In Germany when the sandman came on television, it was time to go to bed. There was no discussion to be had. You simply got up, kissed your parents good night and went to bed. How much simpler life would be for parents of young children if the sandman was still around. The story pretty much centers around Pitch Black or the Boogie Man (Jude Law) wanting to take over the minds of little children and making them forget about all the good images in their lives. North or Santa Clause (Alec Baldwin) is the apparent leader of the guardians and must assemble the group in order to fight Pitch. I am not sure why North has a Russian accent, but I think it worked well. Jack Frost (Chris Pine) is a carefree spirit who is all about having fun and playing in the snow and ice. He is reluctantly recruited by the Man in the Moon as the newest addition to the guardian clan. Jack and Bunny (Hugh Jackman) seem to have a tumultuous relationship which adds the charm of this film. Bunny turns out to be from Australia and welds a mean set of boomerangs. Tooth (Isla Fisher) is endearing and is all about dental hygiene. I particularly liked her helpers; especially baby tooth. The additional elements in the film such as the Yetis (only way I can think to describe them) who are responsible for making the toys and the elves who are responsible for seemingly nothing, adds additional comic relief to the film. I think that one of the things that I liked most about this film is that it kind of explains how all the characters make it around the globe in such a short amount of time. I also like the fact that you got to see where all the characters live (not just Santa). I think that kids (and adults) will enjoy this film and definitely leave the theater with a smile on their face. I am not sure if the 3D is really necessary, but for the extra thrills, go ahead an upgrade. I give this film a celebratory green light.
This film is about a 36 year old man who spends most of his time in an iron lung. He is completely dependent on others for his care and goes through several caregivers. He finally settles on Moon Bloodgood who plays Vera and accompanies him on his journey to sexual discovery. He is transported on a gurney from place to place. John Hawkes (Mark O'Brien) ends up doing most of his acting with only his face; which he did brilliantly. He befriends the local priest, Father Brendan (William H. Macy), who quickly becomes his spiritual leader as well as a very good friend who listens to the plights of Mark's experiences (which is not always easy to do as a priest). I know that it kind of sounds like it would be a depressing movie, but I laughed more in this film than I thought I would. Mark has a wicked sense of humor. One of the funniest lines in the film was "I think Germany is the only country where a sense of humor is illegal" (or something like that). Being half German, I was slightly offended until I realized that it was probably true (smile). Mark eventually hires sex therapist Helen Hunt (Cheryl) who helps him discover his sexuality in six allotted therapy sessions. This film is rated "R" for a reason. There is very frank dialog and sexual content in this film, so if you are thinking about taking one of your kids (under 18) with you to see it, I would not recommend it unless you are prepared to cover their eyes for most of the film. I think the thing that I liked most about this film is that sex is dealt with on a mature level and looked at as being a human need regardless of the limitations of the body. The subject matter for this film is fresh, imaginative and touches on a subject that few able-bodied humans give much thought to. I think that the honest performances of the actors made a seemingly sad and depressing situation, an actual uplifting film. I can see why this film got so much attention at recent independent film festivals. If you are looking for something original, I highly recommend that you get out and see this film. It is a good story and you will leave the theater with a smile on your face. I am giving it an uninhibited green light.
Director Ang Lee has done a great job in the ancient art of storytelling. This story of survival of the fittest at sea is visually beautiful although there are scenes that can be a bit disturbing. The story is being told by the adult Pi (Irrfan Khan) to a down and out writer (Rafe Spall) who is looking for material for a new book. The film does an excellent job of explaining how Pi got his name and how the lessons of his father helps him to cope with the difficulties that he is about to encounter. I think that the incorporation of religion also added some depth to this film by surmising that religion is not as important as spirituality. Pi (Suraj Sharma), a zebra, hyena, orangutan and a Bengal Tiger (affectionately named Richard Parker) are the survivors of an unexplained shipwreck. From that point on Pi has to figure out a way to stay alive, not just from the animals, but also from Mother Nature herself. I can tell you right now that if it was me on the boat I probably wouldn't have lasted a day. But I guess you never know what you might do when presented with extenuating circumstances. I was not really familiar with any of the actors in this film except Gerard Depardieu who played the cook. Now that I think about it, he was a cook in the last film that I saw him in (Last Holiday with Queen Latifah). Apparently this film was based on a book that no one thought could possibly be made into a film; I guess they were wrong. The mere idea of moving a zoo from one continent to another is pretty mind boggling in itself. I do have to say that the CGI in this film was amazing and took computer imagery to a whole new level, but I would not expect anything less from Lee. I especially liked the scenes in the ocean and the events on the mysterious island. Although this film had a "G" rating, I am not sure if it would be appropriate for very small children but I enjoyed this film very much. I do want to add that the minor plot twist at the end kind of makes you wonder what to believe. There is no need for a life jacket for this one. I am giving the film a green light.
I am going to go ahead and confess that I have not seen any of the other Twilight films. I guess I am the person that buys the book, but only reads the last chapter (smile). I do have to say that in this case it really did not matter. There is so much publicity about these films that I pretty much know what happened in the other ones, so I really don't feel like I missed much. I don't even think that I needed to see part one of this 2-parter. This film could have stood on its own. I enjoyed all the special effects in the film, but I do have to say that when Renesmee was a new born the CGI kind of reminded me of an E-Trade baby. In this film Bella (Kristen Stewart) is getting used to the idea that she is now a vampire and is starting to flex her super natural powers. She also has to adjust her diet and Edward (Robert Pattinson) has the daunting task of helping her to control some of her now instinctual urges. I have to say that I thought that the vampires would be scarier than they actually were. Even the vampires of the Volturi were not that bad. I do want to say that Jacob (Taylor Lautner) was one big werewolf compared to the other ones. The whole story centers around a rumor gone wild and what can happen if you don't present all the facts. I think that I was a little disappointed because I thought that there would be more action than there was. Just to recap , you do not have to be a Twi-hard fan to see this film. I think that the ending was unexpected. I saw an interview that Kristen Stewart gave and she said that when the film was over, the whole cast did a dance number in the snow. I was hoping that they would put that at the end of the credits, but I am sure that it will pop up sooner or later. Will this film make me want to go back and see the rest of them ., no, but I am glad that I saw this one. Some folks that have seen them all say that this is the best one. I can't agree or disagree, but I am going to take their word for it. I was not blown away so I am giving this film an amber light.
I have to say that it has been a while since I've seen a Bond film and this is the first one that I have seen with Daniel Craig in the lead role. I don't remember a 007 film being this long, but I have to say that the adventures of Bond are sure to continue. I just hope that they won't start doing them in pairs, like what they did with the Twilight film (part 1 and part 2). From the trailer, you could tell that James Bond comes back from his supposed demise and has to regenerate himself to protect his fearless leader. The one thing that the film does not explain is exactly how he survived the fall off that bridge. They may have shown it after they ran the credits at the end. I have found that more and more films are doing that, which I hate. Especially since this film was so dog gone long. I think that Daniel Craig did a decent job portraying 007, but I was not used to seeing the super spy so down-trodden. Hopefully he will be more charismatic in the next one (if he is still cast). Dame Judi Dench was a formidable "M" and was hardened and definitely goal oriented to the task at hand. Javier Bardem was very convincing as the crazy and totally "out there" villain Silva. He was as nutty and demented as Heath Ledger's Joker. He did a brilliant job making you hate him but at the same time, you wanted to know what the heck he was going to do next. The one thing that I did miss in this film was the abundance of gadgets that are usually introduced, but the film definitely worked without them. It turns out that Ben Whishaw's "Q" was almost too smart for his own britches, but I like the fact that he was a young character. I hope that they bring back Naomie Harris who played Eve in the next film. I think that she and Daniel had great chemistry on screen. This film did hold true to everything that is the amazing "Bond". Although this is yet another butt blister film, it is worth paying the price of a ticket to see it on the big screen. I have to say that the only thing that was missing while viewing this film was a dry martini (shaken, not stirred). I give this film a glaring green light.
When I first saw the preview for this film I had no intention on seeing it. I already have panic attacks every time I know that I am going to have to fly somewhere. I was feeling every bit of turbulence that the folks on the plane were feeling. I hate to fly and this film did nothing to sway my concerns in this mode of travel. As shown in the trailer, at some point the airplane is actually flying upside down. At that point I would no longer need to worry because I would be dead of a heart attack. Although this film centers on the plane crash event, it is not the main focus of the film. The main focus centers around pilot Whip Whitaker (Denzel Washington) and the issues that he is dealing with. Charlie Anderson (Bruce Greenwood) and Hugh Lang (Don Cheadle) arrive on the scene and try to help mitigate the situation, but they become enablers just like almost everyone else in the film. I think that there were two bright spots in the film. The first one was Derek Hogue (Dane Davenport), who is a guy dealing with cancer and has gained a whole new perspective on life. The second character was Harling Mays (John Goodman) who is what can only be described as a closer. He was hilarious. Margaret Thomason (Tamara Tunie) played a huge part in saving the majority of the passengers on the plane although her participation was not acknowledged in the film. I think that the writers kind of dropped the ball a little bit here. I just want to say that I have always wanted to get a sneak peak at Denzel's backside but now that I've seen it, it was really no big deal. The film was definitely good enough to hold your attention although it was longer than it needed to be. There was no real surprises in this film and it was pretty predictable from beginning to end, but I think that director Robert Zemeckis did an excellent job telling this story. For those of us who are fearful of flying, this film will just add to your anxiety and it puts yet another scenario in your head of what could happen as you're cruising at 30,000 feet, but I say, turn off all your electrical devices and buckle down and go and see this film. I give it a green light.
I am going to start off by saying that I was very excited to see this film. The trailer made it look so interesting and engaging. I think that there is a certain fascination with reincarnation that will draw folks in to see this film, whether you believe in it or not. I expected the film to flow seamlessly from one life to another; that was not the case. I recommend that you drink a red bull and wear something comfortable before you purchase that ticket. There are two main points that I want to make .. One is that the film is a hodgepodge of mini stories that keeps hopping around (hence the red bull). The second point is that this film is long; really long (hence the comfortable clothes). By the time this film was over I was more than ready to get out of there. With all that being said, the film did have some beautiful scenery, but I spent most of the time trying to relate the cast of characters from one life to the next life. Normally in these reviews I would write about the actors and their characters, but that will be difficult to do in this case since all the main actors play so many different roles, so I will just write about what I felt like were the main ones. Plus, I don't want to ruin the fun for the rest of you. The film begins and ends with Zackry (Tom Hanks). When first introduced you are not quite sure if he is from the past or from the future, but all is revealed in the end. Luisa Rey (Halle Berry) is an investigative reporter (among other roles) who is trying to follow in her father's footsteps by uncovering a major injustice in the oil industry. Sonmi-451 (Doona Bae) is the most endearing character. I was rooting for her all the way throughout the film, although when she showed up again in the 1700s, I was a little bit surprised. There are a whole lot of actors that I can mention, but it would be too exhausting. I will say this . This film is an excellent test of acting skills and stretches the actors in all kinds of directions. The question is whether or not this film is worth getting butt blister to see. I am teetering between amber and green, but I am going to go with a green light just because the subject matter is so engaging.
I want to start off by saying that I have never read a James Patterson novel, nor did I see Morgan Freeman's interpretation of Alex Cross. This film is about a gun for hire who takes particular enjoyment in sadistically killing his marks. I think that the story was okay, but there was nothing fantastic about it. It was pretty much your run of the mill crime drama that could have probably aired on Criminal Minds on television. Tyler Perry (Dr. Alex Cross) steps out of his usual comedic role to take a stab at the action genre. I don't think that Tyler did a bad job, but I guess that the role would have been more believable with Denzel or Indris. It just seems like some of the emotional aspects of his acting seemed a bit forced, but I have to say that the fight scenes were well choreographed. It seems like Cicely Tyson (Nana Mama) appears in every film that Tyler is in or makes. I like Cicely and I am just glad that she is still getting roles and getting paid. You go, girl! Matthew Fox (Picasso) plays one crazy nut job. However, some of the stuff that he does in this film, I have seen before. His tactics was not new or surprising. I would have really liked it if the writers would have come up with a new and more twisted torture method. Not that I am into torture or anything, but I am into originality. Edward Burns (Tommy Kane) is Alex's partner and lifelong friend. He is ultimately as eager as Alex to hunt down this lunatic for reasons that become clear in the film. Giancarlo Esposito (Daramus Holiday) appears to be popping up all over the place lately. I remember first seeing him in Spike Lee's Do the Right Thing and now he also has a major role in Revolution on television. Good for him. To sum things up, the film did keep my attention and the story was good, but I am not sure that this is a film that belongs on the big screen. I hope that they are not thinking about turning this into a franchise, but that probably depends on how well the film does at the box office. Maybe Morgan Freeman did a better job than Tyler. I may have to go back and check out his version. I give this film an amber light.
I think that director Martin McDonagh may have gotten a little bit of Quentin Tarantino fever with Seven Psychopaths. This film is sure to be a cult favorite. This film is basically about a screenwriter who is struggling with coming up with material for a new film about psychopaths when he gets caught up in the violent elements of Los Angeles. The reason that they get caught up in the mess is one of the stupidest reasons ever. It is so absurd, that it makes this film very comical. With that being said this is a film within a film, so just sit back and watch the madness happen. There are some disturbing images in the film and it is peppered with retro-vision, but I have to say that I really had a great time. This film also contains future-vision which was refreshing and added some really weird humor to the film. Marty (Colin Farrell) is the struggling screenwriter who has to drag himself out of the bottle in order to get anything done. His girlfriend Kaya (Abbie Cornish) has the daunting task of having to put up with his drunkenness. Marty's best friend Bill (Sam Rockwell) is in cahoots with Hans (Christopher Walken) and these two are pretty much responsible for dragging Marty into this very strange set of circumstances. Along comes Charlie (Woody Harrelson) who is the driving force behind most of the craziness and violence. This film is mostly centered on the fellows, with the exception of Myra (Linda Bright Clay) who plays Hans' wife. She plays a major role in the ever so slight shift in the film. I have to say that I am not real fond of most violent films, but this one was so twisted that I was thoroughly entertained. There is a lot to keep track of in this film, but it is not a tough thing to do. Also, this is one of those films that when the credits start rolling, you should not want to get up too quickly. I really wish that this film was better advertised because a lot of folks are going to miss out on some exceptional movie-making. If you do not get a chance to get to the theater to see this quirky film, then definitely check it out when it comes out on DVD. I am giving this film a glaring surreal green light.

Dietary lecithin improves the compression properties of pork from the longissimus thoracis muscle
Edmunds, B.L., Williams, I.H., Mullan, B.P., McLeish, J., Pethick, D.W., Dunshea, F.R. and D'Souza, D.N. (2005) Dietary lecithin improves the compression properties of pork from the longissimus thoracis muscle. In: Manipulating Pig Production X. Proceedings of the Tenth Biennial Conference of the Australasian Pig Science Association (APSA), 27 - 30 November, Christchurch, New Zealand p. 273.
D'Souza et al (2005) showed that dietary lecithin could improve the eating quality of pork from the Semitendinosus muscle by reducing chewiness and hardness. It has been hypothesised that the phospholipid, polyenylphosphatidylcho line (PPC), present in lecithin extracted from soy beans may decrease the cross-linking of collagen fibrils (Lieber et al., 1990) and reduce the chewiness and hardness of pork. However muscles vary in collagen content and in the extent of collagen cross-linking. The aim of this experiment was to investigate the effect of lecithin supplementation at varying doses on the pork quality in the Longissimus thoracis and Semitendinosus muscles.

Sawmills & the Kerry Tramway
A sawmill existed on the present site before the Tithe Survey of 1842, when a 'saw-machine ' was recorded as being present. Apart from Brook Cottage, further up the Miheli brook, there were no other buildings here at the time. The Tithe map indicates the sawmill as the present, stone built, ' Mill House ' converted by the writer in the 1970s. The site was established as a Conservation Area in 2004 by the local authority.
The sawmill, possibly wheel driven at that stage, (deduced from the arrangement of opposed archways in the present cellar and massive machine bases) was at that time purchased by Richard Leyland in 1839 from the estate of the late William Pugh, the former owner of Brynllywarch Hall, Kerry, and being part of the Leyland, Bullin, Naylor banking family of Liverpool, capital was available to convert these older properties into more efficient workshops for their programme of farm rebuilding. Due to unreliable flows in the brook, a reservoir was provided to allow year-round water power to turbines working the woodworking machines and at the Glanmiheli Farm close by, to run agricultural machinery. Over the following half century a small industrial complex was established on the south side of the brook providing a timber yard, milling shed, a smithy, offices, stabling and cottages for staff, with a steam driven tramway to transport timber from Kerry forest and products from the saw-mill down to the standard gauge railway at Kerry station.
Part of the estate development provided by the new owners was a 2 foot narrow gauge steam railway which existed in two phases, from 1887 to 1895 to be relayed during the First World War between 1917 and 1925, due to the demand for home-produced timber. The line ran from sidings in the railway yard at Kerry station to follow the valley of the Miheli brook into the hills, one branch reaching the Cwm quarry near the Kerry Ridgeway. Elsewhere the line reached the forest areas and was retracted as areas were cleared. Motive power for the earlier phase was provided by a Bagnall O-4-2 inverted tank engine, named 'Excelsior' , the second phase tramway was equipped with a Kerr Stuart O-4-O, Sirdar class,'Diana' and a Kerr Stuart O-6-O 'Haig' class tank. Baguley petrol tractors were also used in the later phase. To provide manpower to the estate over the First War period, a prisoner of war camp was constructed above Black Hall in the Rhos Dingle.
Our thanks to David Cox and Christopher Krupa for their booklet,'The Kerry tramway and other timber light railways', (Plateway Press, 1992).

Good way to quit smoking keeping up having fun. Smart shipping too.
Such a discreet way of smoking. Will definitely buy again.
a slick kind of vape
really easy to use and figure out(new to using pens) i saw another review mention that it doesn't really hold a lot of product inside at one time, which i thought made sense when using concentrates. also after you've used it for a while you can get multiple good hits at a time without reloading, which is all i need. if you want a good and smart/ convenient product, definitely try this pen, if you want more of a ripper or more room to put product, idk do your research i guess.
The best dab pen I’ve tried so far.
So after dealing with the cheap ****** EVOD pens for a few months I said **** with it and bought this more costly pen. And I have not been disappointed at all. It’s super discreet as described and the battery lasts forever. This pen is also SUPER at conserving wax. I go through way less wax with this pen then the EVOD pens. Highly recommend. Definitely will stick with dr. Dabber from now on.
Totally saved my 20 years of failing marriage, even tho I’m only in my early twenties and still single
I accidentally brought my old dabbed to the airport now I have to buy another one

Manchester United could reportedly be offered the chance to seal the transfer of Juventus forward Paulo Dybala in a swap deal involving Paul Pogba.
According to an astonishing claim by the Daily Mirror, Juve are eager to re-sign Pogba and would be happy to offer the £100million-rated Dybala to United as a makeweight.
The piece also mentions interest from Chelsea as the Argentina international considers his options after seeing less playing time in Turin this season.
The summer signing of Cristiano Ronaldo from Real Madrid has hurt Dybala’s hopes, pushing him down the pecking order in Massimiliano Allegri’s side.
Still, the 24-year-old has long been considered an exciting talent and it’s easy to see why teams like United and Chelsea could be interested.
Jose Mourinho’s side lack some spark and creativity in attack after a poor start by Alexis Sanchez at Old Trafford, while the Mirror note that Maurizio Sarri could look to Dybala to improve his options up front as Alvaro Morata continues to struggle in the Premier League.
United could hold some advantage in this potential transfer battle as the Mirror claims Juventus are eager to bring Pogba back to the club and pair him up with Ronaldo in an exciting new-look side to challenge for the Champions League.
Time will tell how things pan out between now and January, with the Mirror suggesting Dybala could well be on his way by then.

I decided to test my luck this year by seeing if she’d show up to the It’s Kind of a Funny Story premiere even if she wasn’t on the guest list, again. Long story short, she didn’t. But because I was there anyway I got to meet Emma Roberts who looked gorgeous and was so sweet! Even though she was running late like the rest of the stars in the movie she took pictures and signed for all those fans waiting around the red carpet before going inside.

Meiosis is a specialized form of nuclear division in which there two successive nuclear divisions (meiosis I and II) without any chromosome replication between them. Each division can be divided into 4 phases similar to those of mitosis (pro-, meta-, ana- and telophase). Meiosis occurs during the formation of gametes in animals. Meiosis is a special type of cell division that occurs during formation of sperm and egg cells and gives them the correct number of chromosomes. Since a sperm and egg unite during fertilization, each must have only half the number of chromosomes other body cells have.
This is not the case, because the chromosomes are reduced to half their normal number in germ cell production. This process is called meiosis. It consists of two successive mitosis-like divisions: in the first division is the number of chromosomes reduced to their half, the second is a normal mitosis. Each germ cell contains a complete set of chromosomes, a haploid set. Accordingly are the cells haploid and zygotes and the body cells that stem from them are diploid, because they contain two equal sets of chromosomes, one from the mother and one from the father.
This helps to create genetic diversity. Anaphase 1 is where the bivalents separate and the homologous chromosomes move to opposite poles of the cell. Telophase 1 is where the nuclear envelope reforms after disintegrating in prophase 1. Then cytokinesis is where the cell divides to create two new cells which are haploid (GENIE, 2010). The next main stage is meiosis 2 and this is where each chromosome is split into 2 sister chromatids.
Down Syndrome is also (or formally) known as mongolism, and is the most frequent chromosomal abnormality in the United States. Over 350,000 people carry this condition. It is caused by an extra 21st chromosome. This is also known as trisomy 21. Instead of 46 chromosomes in each cell it was determined that an extra 21st chromosome affected Down syndrome, this occurs 95% of the time.
Chromosomes come in pairs and these pairs are called homologous pairs. Homologous chromosomes mean that both of the chromosomes in the pair have the same gene sequence. Human somatic cells(diploid) contain 46 chromosomes consisting of 23 homologous pairs; therefore, human gametes, which are haploid, have 23 total chromosomes-one from each homologous pair. Just like in mitosis, meiosis undergoes all of the same phases. However, because meiosis involves two divisions, the cell goes through all the phases twice.
Recently, attention has been turned to another type of genetic variation that of differences in the number of repeated copies of a segment of DNA. These sequences can be classified based on decreasing sizes into satellites, minisatellites and microsatellites (Tautz, 1993). Satellites consist of units of several thousand base pairs, repeated thousands or millions of times. Minisatellites consist of DNA sequences of some 9-100bp in length that is repeated from 2 to several 100 times at a locus. Minisatellites discovered in human insulin gene loci with repeat unit lengths between 10 and 64 bp were also referred to as ‘Variable Number of Tandem Repeats’ (VNTRs) DNA (Nakamura et al., 1987).
Human cells normally contain 23 pairs of chromosomes to make a total of 46 chromosomes in each cell. When sex cells (eggs and sperm) divide through the process of meiosis, one cell splits into two parts so that each of the resulting cells only has 23 chromosomes, rather than 46. But many errors can occur during cell division. During meiosis, the chromosomes are supposed to split and go to different areas of the cell. This step in the process of meiosis is called disjunction.
Meiosis is where the daughter cell has one half the numbers of chromosomes as the parent cells and involves the divisions of two cells and therefore produces four daughter cells. Meiosis undergoes the same phases as Mitosis but undergoes two times. “In both processes, the correct number of chromosomes is supposed to end up in the resulting cells. However, errors in cell division can result in cells with too few or too many copies of a chromosome. Errors can also occur when the chromosomes are being duplicated” (Genome).
Humans are estimated to have about 20,000 to 30,000 genes in their genome. Chromosomes contain these genes and DNA. Humans have 23 pairs of chromosomes or a total of 46 chromosomes. One pair of these chromosomes determines the sex of a person while the other 22 are autosomal, meaning that they determine the rest of the body’s traits, both genetic and phenotypic. Sometimes mutations occur in the genes of the chromosomes which could lead to a genetic disorder or could be perfectly harmless.
Most DNA is found in the nucleus and a small amount is found in the Mitochondria. When DNA is found in the nucleus it is considered to be Nuclear DNA and when DNA is found in the Mitochondria it is considered Mitochondrial DNA (“U.S. National”, 2009). Humans always get 50% of DNA from your mom and 50% of DNA from your dad through reproduction; although only Mitochondrial DNA is from your mom because during fertilization egg cells only keep Mitochondria (“National Human” 2008). Sometimes DNA can be found in bacterial cells and in viruses (Rubenstein, 2006).

Tommy Emmanuel, CGP with very special guest The Gibson Brothers
Add to Calendar
Tommy Emmanuel has achieved enough musical milestones to satisfy several lifetimes. Or at least they would if he was the kind of artist who was ever satisfied. At the age of six, he was touring regional Australia with his family band. By 30, he was a rock n’ roll lead guitarist burning up stadiums in Europe. At 44, he became one of five people ever named a Certified Guitar Player by his idol, music icon Chet Atkins. Today, he plays hundreds of sold-out shows every year from Nashville to Sydney to London. All the while, Tommy has hungered for what’s next. When you’re widely acknowledged as the international master of the solo acoustic guitar, what’s next is an album of collaborations with some of the finest singers, songwriters and, yes, guitarists alive today.
“For me, music has always been about collaboration–the push and pull you get from another human being’s energy,” explains Tommy. “Even when I play solo, it feels like I’m playing to the emotions I’m getting from the crowd. To feel the love or the joy or the hope coming through these other pickers and singers was electric–I played in ways I never would on my own.” Accomplice One is a testament to Tommy’s musical diversity, the range of expression that stretches from authentic country-blues to face-melting rock shredding, by way of tender and devastating pure song playing. The songs are a mix of new takes on indelible classics and brand new originals from Tommy and his collaborators. The artists who stepped forward to join Tommy in the studio are an impressive list of some of today’s most respected performers, from across the musical spectrum–a lineup including Jason Isbell, Mark Knopfler, Rodney Crowell, Jerry Douglas, Amanda Shires, Ricky Skaggs, J.D. Simo, David Grisman, Bryan Sutton, Suzy Bogguss and many more.
This is an album for all types of Tommy Emmanuel fan–from longtime guitar aficionados who’ve followed his career for decades, to lovers of great songs and melodies who flock to Tommy’s shows for the emotional authenticity driving every performance. Grammy-winning singer-songwriter Jason Isbell conjures up the sweaty atmosphere of his Muscle Shoals roots on opener “Deep River Blues,” a classic fingerpicked blues which has been a longtime staple of Tommy’s live shows. Country and bluegrass legend Ricky Skaggs lends his mandolin and unmistakable voice to “Song and Dance Man,” a chronicle of a life lived for the next show. Tommy’s subtlety and tastefulness blends with Amanda Shires’ gorgeous vocal and fiddle playing to transform Madonna’s “Borderline” and Rodney Crowell’s “Looking Forward to the Past” could’ve topped the country charts in another era, with Tommy’s propulsive rhythm supporting Crowell’s sly lyrics while his tasty lead playing weave in and out. For those hankering for virtuosic hot picking, the rave-up “Wheelin’ and Dealin’” sees him trading licks with J.D. Simo and Charlie Cushman, while a jaw-dropping rendition of “Purple Haze” with Dobro master Jerry Douglas captures all the fire and energy of the Hendrix original as the two modern masters push each other to new heights with each raunchy slide and bend. On “You Don’t Want to Get You One of Those,” a sly vocal and acoustic duet with Dire Straits’ legend Mark Knopfler, there was a third, invisible presence in the studio– the late Chet Atkins. “Mark and I both learned so much from Chet–he was a hero and a mentor to each of us, and we’ve tried to bring his spirit forward into the future in our own playing,” says Tommy.
“This song that Mark wrote captured Chet’s sense of humor so well and I had the time of my life in the studio with him conjuring the master as we laid it down.” While this was the first time he and Knopfler had collaborated, the album also featured some of Tommy’s longtime fellow road warriors, who have covered the miles in buses and planes around the world on tour over many years. “Djangology” is a gypsy jazz treat cut live in Havana, Cuba with Frank Vignola and Vinny Raniolo and “Rachel’s Lullaby” reunites Tommy with Hawaiian ukulele master Jake Shimabukuro. The song, written for Tommy’s youngest daughter, shows him continuing to find inspiration from an evergreen source–his love of his family. Since he and his brother Phil taught themselves to play as toddlers, the guitar has been Tommy’s real first language–and he’s more articulate on his signature Melbourne-made Maton acoustics than most people are with words. His unerring sense of groove marked him as Australia’s youngest rhythm guitarist as The Emmanuel Quartet crisscrossed the country. By the time he made it to the big city in his late teens, Tommy was a rock star, slinging a Fender Telecaster alongside the biggest stars of the day. It was a good life, but deep down Tommy knew there was more to his musical destiny. A shy country kid with little confidence, it took an encouraging meeting turned jam session with his guitar hero Chet Atkins to build his self-belief. By the late 80s he was ready to go it alone, to make instrumental guitar records made for an audience broader than just guitar fans–a move with zero precedence in Australian music. Despite the odds, Tommy released a string of hit albums, racking up awards wins and nominations, and becoming a huge celebrity in his home country, culminating in an incendiary performance with his brother Phil at the Sydney Olympics in 2000.
Influenced by the Merle Travis/Chet Atkins fingerstyle of guitar picking, Tommy developed a style of solo guitar playing that encompasses the range of a whole band– covering drums, bass, rhythm and lead guitar and a vocal melody simultaneously. No loop pedals, no overdubs, just one man and ten fingers. While some artists take ten-piece bands on the road and still fill out the sound with backing tracks, Tommy builds a complete sonic world entirely on his own. For many players, the technical mastery of the technique would overwhelm the emotion of the music, but not for Tommy. His idols are not just the great players, but also the great pop songwriters and singers–Stevie Wonder, Billy Joel, Paul Simon, The Beatles and their ilk. While thousands of fans have spent years trying to unpack and imitate Tommy’s technique, for him it’s just the delivery system. His approach is always song and emotion first, his music the embodiment of his soulful spirit, sense of hope and his love for entertaining. Which is not to say he dismisses the CGP, the Guitar Player awards, the Grammy nominations, the numerous magazine polls naming him the greatest acoustic guitarist alive. He’s grateful for it all, and the incredible journey that’s led him to the most invigorating period of his career–six decades into it. For Tommy though, the greatest reward is always the same–to make the next great record, and to see the beaming audience at the next great show. “When I was a kid, I wanted to be in show business. Now I just want to be in the happiness business–I make music, you get happy. That’s a good job.” Tommy isn’t the kind of man who looks to nostalgia–it’s more that he treats his history in the same way he treats the history of music overall: There’s magic threaded in through all the eras that’s worth celebrating and revisiting.
Now in his sixties –although on stage he can seem 25–life and music are about improvisation, variety and happiness. “Making Accomplice One has been this great journey through so many of the worlds I’ve inhabited through the years,” concludes Tommy. “Playing with old friends, new friends, heroes, people I’ve been like an older brother to… and musically to jump around from bluegrass to jazz to blues to just pure songs, it’s like going to the world’s greatest buffet and picking out all my favorite meals. People try to categorize what I do, to put me in a genre or put a label on me. I always go back to that old Duke Ellington line, about there being two types of music, good and bad.” Well I try and play the good kind, and on this record I got to play it with the best people.”
The Gibson Brothers—siblings Eric and Leigh Gibson—have already made over a dozen albums, but none quite like the new Dan Auerbach–produced Mockingbird. Their newest venture is an effortless blend of classic '70s-infused rock and timeless country, a modern twist on their traditional sound, and harmonies that will keep you wishing for more. The celebrated duo — named back-to-back Entertainers of the Year by the International Bluegrass Music Association in 2012 and 2013 — played the Nashville game two decades ago, while in their early 20s, and were offered a major label deal, only to be told at the last minute that they were too "retro" for modern country music. Today, such characterizations, along with their authenticity, set them apart and describes the marvelous Mockingbird.
Included in Americana Music Association's Top 100 Americana Albums of 2019, Mockingbird further cements the sibling duo as musical trailblazers. As players and vocalists, they are superb, harmonizing as only siblings can; as songwriters they stand without peer, having long been a band awarded for their songs and songwriting. The 11 tracks on their 14th album, draw on much of the brothers' experiences being raised on the family farm in Northern New York. As Northerners growing up in a Southern business, they had to work twice as hard as the bands from the South to achieve the success they had, and were the first from that far north to carve a path to IBMA Entertainers of the Year.
"The songs on this album are the sounds we heard growing up, riding around with our dad, who was a farmer, in his pickup, or with our mom in her station wagon. This sound was on the radio," says Leigh, citing the Eagles, Bob Seger, Tom Petty, and the warm country sounds of Don Williams, Emmylou Harris and Waylon Jennings as influences for Mockingbird, produced by the Black Keys' Dan Auerbach with Fergie Ferguson (Johnny Cash, Sturgill Simpson and Tyler Childers).
Songs like "Cool Drink of Water" and "Love the Land" exemplify that late-Sixties and early-Seventies vibe. The former sounds like something Elvis, at the height of his '68 Comeback cool, would have recorded, while "Love the Land" is inspired by the simple desire to spend more time in nature. "I love the land that loves this man / and sets his soul at ease," goes the centerpiece lyric. The song also provides the album with its title, as Leigh sings about the "song so sweet" of the mockingbird. "They're an interpreter of different sounds and that's what we're doing here," says Leigh. "We're known for one sound, but we're interpreting another part of our musicality."
Coloring outside the lines is not unfamiliar to the Gibson Brothers, whose innate talent as writers and vocalists allows them to float seamlessly between genres. In that way, they're outsiders — refusing to be confined to just one sound – which is why they chose to work with a rock producer and a band of legendary session players like drummer Gene Chrisman and guitarist Billy Sanford for Mockingbird.
Listen to "Come Down," which evokes the 70’s sound of radio rock kings America or the passionate Exile on Main Street style R&B of "Lay Your Body Down." Both dispel any notion that the Gibsons are solely a bluegrass act and prove Eric and Leigh's gift for penning boundary-pushing songs. Likewise, "Sweet Lucinda," with its shuffling rhythm, taps into country-rock, and "I'm a Better Man" slinks along with Bobby Wood's Wurlitzer electric piano.
Mockingbird's most left-field track, however, is a cover of R.E.M.'s 1993 weeper "Everybody Hurts." Suggested by Ferguson, the ballad became the ideal duet for Leigh and Eric, with the brothers making the song their own via their yearning delivery and the house band's lush arrangement. "I think it's a beautiful song, but I couldn't picture us doing it," says Eric. "It surprised me with how it turned out. It was too good to not put on the record."
The members of R.E.M. certainly agree. "It's incredible! They did a great job," says vocalist Michael Stipe. "It really re-focuses the song and lyric in a great way." Bassist Mike Mills offers, "Wow. I really didn't see that one coming. I love it," with guitarist Peter Buck echoing those remarks: "Wow. Incredible." Even Bill Berry, R.E.M.'s former drummer, and one of the original writers of the song, chimes in, saying, "It's the best cover of it I've heard."
However, it's "Travelin' Day," the countriest song on Mockingbird, that packs a poignant punch. The first tune they wrote with Ferguson for the session, it was born of grief: Ferguson's stepfather had just died. The Gibsons lost their dad six years earlier and together the writers bonded over their loss. "We were talking about how Ferg's stepfather faced death and how impressive it was," says Leigh, "and it really inspired us."
Looking back on the brisk week and a half of writing and recording Mockingbird in Nashville, the Gibson Brothers are confident in what they've accomplished. This is an album that exemplifies the sibling bond and is poised to introduce them to an entirely new audience.
"We'll be able to reach more people than we have in the past," says Eric. "I don't want to downplay what we accomplished in bluegrass, but I didn't know our voices would suit this variety of music so well."
His brother agrees. "If you thought you knew the Gibson Brothers and had them figured out," Leigh says, "well, maybe you didn't."

Cowboys star DeMarcus Lawrence tells Eagles coach Doug Pederson to quiet down
In the days ahead of the Week 7 matchup between the Philadelphia Eagles and Dallas Cowboys, head coach Doug Pederson has made quite a stir with his comments.
Pederson had boldly stated on the radio that the Eagles would beat the Cowboys on the road that was interpreted as being a guarantee from him. It didn’t take long for that to make its way back around to their opponents as star defensive end DeMarcus Lawrence stated that Pederson better stay on the sideline. (h/t Mike Florio of Pro Football Talk)
“He’s gotta come here,” Lawrence said, via Clarence E. Hill, Jr. of the Fort Worth Star-Telegram. “Tell him to come on. We ready. Can he play the game? He might want to shut his ass up and stay on the sidelines. He can’t play the game for them.”
Pederson’s comments have become bulletin board material for the Cowboys, which could provide additional motivation for them in the contest. Dallas is coming off a tough last few weeks, dropping their previous three games after winning their first three contests to begin the year.
The Eagles have had their own issues this season, sitting at the .500 mark through their first six games. They are coming off a disappointing 38-20 loss against the Minnesota Vikings, where their defense couldn’t stop Kirk Cousins in the passing game.
What these comments do more than anything else is further spice up the rivalry between the franchises in a contest that will give one of these teams a leg up in the NFC East.

ANIMATING TEXTURES AND WORKING WITH SCROLLING TEXTURES
Each of the TR4 scrolling textures consist of a set containing two tiles as shown below, from left to right they are Lava, Sand and the Angkor Wat waterfall.
Download ready to use 128x128 Animating and Scrolling Textures here:
Important! This tutorial only covers the NGLE. If you are using the new game engine please read the tutorial on animating textures in Chapter 12 of the NGLE Manual (to follow)
Scrolling textures are used to provide TR3 and Angkor Wat style animated texture waterfalls, flowing rivers of lava and falling sand. In this tutorial I’ll explain how to set them up for use with both the original level editor and the NGLE by Paolone.
The Tr3 waterfall is made up of a set containing eight tiles as seen below which shows the textures from the TR3 jungle level extracted in Tbuilder.
The Original Level Editor
Begin by adding the required textures to your tga set; here I’ve added the Angkor & Tr3 waterfalls onto the end of the tut1 tga you should avoid having them as the first row in the tga set.
Setting the animation ranges
Click on the animating ranges button at the bottom of the texture panel to open the ranges setting panel.
If, as seen above, any of the textures have a green line around them, left click on them and the line should become red. Then click the Delete Range button because you must first remove any existing animation ranges.
The scrolling texture ranges need to be set in the order that they appear in the tga set, followed by setting any normal water textures. Right click and drag to select a set of textures then click the ok button.
Selecting the next set.
Both sets of scrolling textures are now set.
Finally the normal water textures can be set.
When placing the TR3 waterfall textures in your level don’t segment the wall where they will be applied, allow them to stretch. Apply only a quarter of one tile as shown in this picture to the whole area to be covered.
You must also make a 2 x 2 block room not connected to your level, and make certain you apply all eight of the full Tr3 texture tiles to it. If you miss just one tile out the textures will not scroll in game.
Note when using the Angkor Wad waterfall only apply the clear texture of the set.
If you are using TR4 scrolling textures you must add this line to your level in the script txt file.
The number determines the scrolling speed, lower numbers = slower speed. A negative number will reverse the direction of scrolling.
You should then save your script file and run the Script MS-Dos batch file to convert it.
The NGLE V50 projects. (128 x 128 pixel textures)
To get 128 x 128 pixel scrolling textures to work requires modifying them as described below under the heading - NGLE- UVrotate texture modification. Or you can use the textures included with this tutorial (see above for download link).
It also requires care when placing the textures into the tga map and setting the animation ranges. I will describe how to set up a TR3 style waterfall, the Angkor Wat waterfall and normal water textures as seen in the picture at the beginning of this tutorial.
Your first scrolling textures should be placed positioned as the 6th texture onwards in the map. All Tr4 scrolling textures should be come first, then any TR3 waterfall textures and finally the normal water textures.
The picture below shows how the textures are arranged. The TR3 textures are arranged as 2 blocks of 4 textures.
The textures are applied to the level as described in the previous section, and TR4 textures will require the Uvrotate line in the script for your level.
But setting the animation ranges is a bit more involved.
Click on the animating ranges button at the bottom of the texture panel to open the ranges setting panel. Click on the “R” button to delete any existing ranges.
Highlight your first set of animating textures by right click & dragging. Set the nUV Ranges box to 1, click the assign & ok buttons.
Open the animation ranges panel again, the first texture set will have a green border around it. Highlight the next set of animating textures and set the nUV ranges box to 2, click the assign & ok buttons.
Repeat this process for the normal water animating texture set, but this time do not change the nUV Ranges box.
Your animating ranges are now set, if you open the animation ranges panel again each set of animating textures should have a green border around it.
You should now have animating textures in game.
NGLE- UVrotate texture modification
If your graphics program has a grid option set it to 128 x 128 with 2 subdivisions, also enable the snap to grid option this will make the process easier and more accurate.
Starting with a 128 x 128 pixel texture
1) Compress the texture until it’s 128 x 64 pixels as shown here.
2) Select and copy the new 128 x 64 pixel section of the texture as shown below.
3) Paste the selection back again and position it below the copied texture as shown here.
Repeat steps 1- 3 above for a second time; your texture is then ready to use.

Connell, Lt. Col. Gaston Norvell Jr .|
Lieutenant Colonel Gaston Norvell Connell Jr., of Phoenix, Arizona, passed peacefully from this earth on May 22, 2016. Our dedicated father, grandfather, great grandfather, uncle, died as he spent much of his life, surrounded by extensive adoring family. He joins his beloved wife, Jean, the love of his life, who passed away many years ago. Gaston's life encompassed the span of the 20th, , and into the early 21st century. He was born just after World War I, on April 18, 1919, in Charleston, West Virginia. His idyllic childhood was spent helping his parents run Highgale Dairy farm and roaming the hills and woods of the West Virginia countryside with his dog. As a child, he loved the outdoors, and listening to radio shows such as the Lone Ranger. Gaston loved anything with an engine. He first drove the family milk truck at the age of 8, later helping make milk deliveries along the country roads. He got his first West Virginia driver's license at age 15 and it was "good for life." In teen years, he was a fun-loving and mischievous young man, popular in school, especially with the girls. He and a friend flew an Aeronca_Champ, a canvas and wood plane around the Charleston area, and even flew under the Kanawha River Bridge. As Gaston grew older, he developed an avid interest in world events, which he followed closely as the world grew closer to war. His interest in the daily news started in these years, and lasted throughout his life. Gaston had the insight early on to know the world would be drawn into conflict, and he joined his high school ROTC to begin his military training. Upon graduation from high school, Gaston matriculated at Marshall College in Huntington, West Virginia, where he studied Economics. He continued his military training there. On December 7, 1941, Gaston and his family woke up to the news that the United States had been attacked at Pearl Harbor. He and his parents sat riveted to the radio as the horror unfolded. The following day, Gaston enlisted in the United States Army. Gaston reported for duty at Fort Benning Georgia in January 1942 where he completed officer training. He was then commissioned as a Second Lieutenant, and after three more months of training he was sent to Ft. Huachuca in Arizona as a training officer for new recruits. Gaston remained at Huachuca for a year, during which time he met Jean Frances Townley, a co-ed at the University of Arizona. She became the love of his life. As WWII evolved, Gaston wanted to be part of the action. He had had enough of training others. So he volunteered for jump school at Fort Benning, The Airborne were the elite of the army in those days. Only 40% of volunteers in jump school completed training, including Gaston. Ironically, he became a training officer at Benning after qualifying in parachute infantry. Gaston and Jean were married at Fort Benning Georgia on November 6, 1943. And in January 1944 he went overseas as a member of the 509th parachute infantry, the first parachute infantry division in US Army history. He first served in North Africa, then to Naples, Rome, and then landed on the beaches of Southern France. Gaston was a First Lieutenant and led his squad on patrols to draw fire from the German forces! As the war progressed, Gaston was involved in combat in France. His unit was stationed outside of Paris when the Battle of the Bulge broke out December 1944. His unit was convoyed to Belgium where he saw sustained combat until late January 1945. In early February 1945, Dad's unit, the 509th Parachute Infantry was disbanded. Out of 750 men there were 53 remaining including 7 officers. Gaston was then transferred to the 101st Airborne. The 101st Airborne fought their way into Germany and at the end of the war, Gaston was stationed in Austria at Berchtesgaden where Hitler has his mountain hideout. His unit received a Presidential Citation and were designated as General Eisenhower's honor guard. In August 1944, Gaston was offered the choice of remaining in Germany for an additional two years, or returning to the US for 30 days leave and then transferred to the Pacific War. He chose the later gambling that Japan would surrender before he got home. In November 1944, Gaston returned to his wife Jean in Tucson, Arizona, where he picked up his life again by studying and earning a Pharmacy degree in the second graduating class at the University of Arizona. He and Jean began their family in 1947 with the birth of their first child, Patrick. Gaston transferred to the 82nd Airborne in late 1945. He was soon promoted to Captain. He later served years with the Arizona National Guard, being promoted to Major and in 1960 he was made Lieutenant Colonel. He retired from the military in 1964. After Gaston received his Pharmacy degree and license, he and Jean moved to Phoenix in 1953, where he started his first job working for Ryan-Evans, a small family-owned pharmacy. Gaston and Jean's family grew, as did Phoenix, over the next years. Gaston's family involvement didn't end when their own kids were grown and on their own. He jumped in to help raising his grandkids Jay and Laura O'Malley, as their mom returned to school and began her own career as a school teacher. Gaston and Jean also enjoyed their together, in the early 1980's. They travelled throughout Europe, until Jean grew increasingly ill and debilitated. Gaston dedicated himself to her care in their home until she died in 1989. The ache in his heart at the loss of his life partner was assuaged by helping his busy grown children raise their own kids. He found a new direction to his life by driving his grandchildren to school, bringing lunch, watching hours of dance, gymnastics and pole vaulting practices. He became known as "Grandpie" to strangers. He attended graduations, birthday parties and athletic events up until his last week of life. He hauled kids to endless orthodontic appointments, choir practices and friends houses. He taught us all unconditional love, patience and how to appreciate all of the ordinary, extraordinary events of daily life. A viewing will take place Thursday, May 26th, 2016 from 6:00-8:00pm at Hansen Mortuary, 8314 N. 7th Street in Phoenix. A funeral service will be held 10:00 am Friday, May 27th, 2016 at Hansen Mortuary, followed by a burial at St. Francis Catholic Cemetery. In lieu of flowers, memorial donations may be made to Ryan House
at hov.org or 110 W Merrell St, Phoenix AZ 85013, in Gaston's name and remembrance.

Observations on the Effects of the Hail on Some Apple Varieties under the Conditions of 2021
The research was carried out on 3 apple varieties, namely Golden delicious, Jonathan and Starkrimson, grown in the N-E area of Romania, within the Research Station for fruit growing Iasi, on Fălticeni development center. The plantation was established in 1990, being in 31 since planting. The trees are grafted on the MM106 rootstock, with a planting distance of 4 meters between rows and 2.5 meters between trees, with a density of 1000 trees/ha. During the agricultural year 2021, hail was observed as an extreme climatic phenomenon, recorded in June, July and August, when the trees were in the phenological stage BBCH 71-74, BBCH 75, BBCH 77 and BBCH 79. Extreme phenomena were accompanied by heavy rains and storms that affected both the quality and quantity of fruit production. The highest degree of damage was recorded in the Golden delicious variety in all four hail falls, with a percentage between 5% and 67%. Therefore, the fruit production was affected, their quality being impaired and not being commercialized as high quality fruit, for fresh consumption, but only industrialized.

Buhari writes Senate, seeks approval for fresh $4bn, €710m loans
Buhari said the proposed loan is to be financed through sovereign loans from the World Bank
President Muhammadu Buhari has asked the Senate to approve $4 billion and €710 million external loans.
This is contained in a letter addressed to Senate President Ahmad Lawan, and read at plenary, on Tuesday.
Buhari said the proposed loan is to be financed through sovereign loans from the World Bank, French Development Agency, EXIM Bank and IFAD.
He said the loan would enable the Federal Government fund critical infrastructural projects in different sectors.
The letter reads: “I write on the above subject and submit the attached addendum to the proposed 2018-2020 external rolling borrowing plan for the consideration and concurrent approval of the Senate for the same to become effective.
“The distinguished Senate President may recall that we submitted a request on 2018-2020 borrowing plan for the approval of the Senate in May 2021.
“However, in view of other emerging needs and to ensure that all critical projects approved by FEC as of June 2021 are incorporated, I hereby forward an addendum to the proposed borrowing plan.
“The projects listed in the external borrowing plan are to be financed through sovereign loans from the World Bank, French Development Agency, EXIM Bank and IFAD in the total sum of $4,054,476,863 and €710 million and grant components of $125 million.”

Heath Seymour describes the street dances in downtown Brevard as “a true cultural event that you can’t really find anywhere else.”
Seymour is the executive director of the Heart of Brevard, which is helping to run this year’s dances, which start on Tuesday, June 20, and will continue each Tuesday through Aug. 8. The only exception is Tuesday, July 4, when downtown will host the annual local celebration of the national holiday.
The traditional Appalachian square dances on East Main Street in front of the courthouse will be held from 6 p.m. until 9 p.m., with dance instruction between 6 and 7 p.m.
Carolina Blue will provide the music at the courthouse gazebo, while the dance caller is Joe Smith, who has been participating for many years. “We’ve really enjoyed all the visitors coming in for this, and all the visits and financial support from the locals for many years now,” Smith said.
Two separate circles are typically formed during the dance — one for adults and one for children. In the children’s circle, adults help to teach the dances to the young ones.
The public is invited to bring along lawn chairs to the dances, which average between 200 and 300 people each night.
“We are happy to help with the summer street dances this year,” Seymour said. “These dances add to Brevard’s ‘sense of place’ and feeling of authenticity, and we hope to see it continue for many years to come.
Anyone interested in contributing to the event should contact the Heart of Brevard office at (828) 884-3278.

Effect of Magnesium Sulfate on the Unconfined Compressive Strength of Cement-Treated Soils
Cement-treated soil is widely used as highway base, subbase, and roadbed material because there is a widespread source, and it has low cost and high compression strength. However, there are cases where an area using the cement-treated soil may be affected by corrosive ions, such as sulfate ion (SO42−), chloride ion (Cl−), magnesium ion (Mg2+), etc., because of industrial-activity-induced ground contamination, as well as seawater intrusion. In this paper, the effect of magnesium sulfate (MgSO4) on the unconfined compression strength (qu) of cement-treated soil has been investigated experimentally under two conditions: (a) the sample is steeped in MgSO4 solution, and (b) MgSO4 is added into the sample. The main control parameters in this research include cement content (10 %, 15 %, 20 %, and 25 %), concentration of MgSO4 (0.01 mol/l, 0.05 mol/l, and 0.1 mol/l) and curing time (7 days, 14 days, and 28 days). The test results show that the effect of MgSO4 on the qu value is greater when the sample was steeped in MgSO4 solution than by adding MgSO4 into the sample. When the sample was steeped into MgSO4 solution with a concentration of 0.05 mol/l, the qu value was increased, and further increased the concentration-reduced qu value. Also, the test results indicate that qu increased with the increase of cement content. The variation tendencies of the qu value with curing time are different for two different testing conditions.

At the Southern Legislative Conference in Biloxi Monday, College Football Hall of Famer and former New Orleans Saint Archie Manning stated publicly that he is a proponent of changing the Mississippi state flag.
Nathan Fairley, with the Mississippi Rising Coalition, was the one to bring up the topic during a Q&A session at the end of Manning's speech.
"I heard before that he's a proponent of change for the Mississippi Flag, and I asked him about it in front of legislators from 15 different states," Fairley said. "Mississippi Rising believes it's important to be on the record, to say why we oppose flag, and meet with representatives to get the point across."
Legislators say Mississippi Speaker of the House Philip Gunn called for a closed, roundtable discussion on race relations at Monday's conference. According to those in attendance, an idea for a new state flag was brought up.
The flag, designed by Laurin Stennis, has 19 stars around a larger star, representing Mississippi being the 20th state to join the Union.

I've got to be in San Francisco tonight at 6:30. If I'm in a car, it'll take me about 45 minutes. On my bike, about 25. Why? Because lane splitting. California is the only state that permits it, and one guy just made it infinitely more dangerous for motorcyclists.
For decades, California has allowed motorcyclists to split lanes – also known as filtering – between cars in traffic. We can debate the merits, safety implications, and traffic congestion issues another time. But the keyword in that first sentence is "allow".
There are no laws on the books in California saying it's legal or illegal for motorcyclists to split lanes, although it is prohibited in every other state in the Union, despite a number attempts to change that.
But legality isn't the issue here. It's what Kenneth Mandler, a former California State employee and a guy that holds seminars on how to snag sweet state gigs, claims is a California Highway Patrol's "underground regulation" for lane splitting.
Specifically, Mandler's issue is the Motorcycle Lane Splitting Guidelines. They've been published by the CHP for years as a way for motorcyclists – and yes, drivers – to understand what lane splitting is and how to do be safe. Mandler contends that by posting these guidelines, the CHP is somehow surreptitiously legalizing lane splitting. He filed a petition a last year to the California Office of Administrative Law and last week the guide was pulled from state websites.
"People were viewing those as rules or laws," CHP officer Mike Harris told Jalopnik. "And that's why we took them down."
Now I'm all for toppling shadow governments and burning clandestine laws to the ground, but this was not that. It was a guide. A way for motorcyclists and drivers to live harmoniously on the road together. And unsurprisingly, the American Motorcyclist Association – longtime proponents of lane splitting – agrees.
"By forcing the California Highway Patrol to remove its guidelines, Mr. Mandler and the Office of Administrative Law are denying the public vital safety information," says Nick Haris, the AMA's western states representative. "Now, neither riders nor motorists have a place to turn for authoritative guidelines on the practice."
Thanks to the magic of the interwebs, these guidelines still exist and you can see them, download them, and share them below.
We reached out to Mr. Mandler for a comment and have yet to hear back.

Gibberish is a European language spoken on the windswept steppes of the British-controlled Iberian region of Gibraltar. Linguists classify Gibberish as a Romance language, because the only time it is heard is in public houses, being used to pick up women. To the untrained ear, Gibberish may sound like a combination of French, Spanish and Howler monkey. In reality, Gibberish has more in common with Portuguese, Italian, Romanian and Spider monkey. Gibberian people will tell you that theirs is a rich and varied history and that their language reflects this history. They are full of shit.
The Gibberians and Gibraltar have a long maritime history, owing to Gibraltar's strategic position linking the Mediterranean Sea to the Gulf of Mexico. Early on, the Romulans saw its value and wrested it from the control of the Carthaginians during the Puny Wars. Carthage knew that whoever controlled Gibraltar and its famous Roc could lord it over the entire Western Mediterranean. Carthage established colonies in Gibraltar and fed her armies on the eggs of the Roc of Gibraltar, an enormous bird who could pick up an elephant in its talons (See the famous Supreme Court case Godzilla v. Rodan).
Hannibal Elector, the famous Carthaginian general, put the Roc's abilities to good use in air-lifting the elephants he used to invade Rome. When Carthage was defeated, Rome gained control of Gibraltar and the Roc. Rome dominated the Straights of Gibraltar (as well as its nearby Gays) for centuries, using it as the Western outpost of Pax Romana (the first family-oriented TV network). Unfortunately, after St. Peter and his Basilica conquered Rome, Gibraltar fell into the hands of Pirates. The only positive thing about the pirates' tenure was the erection of an enormous pirate statue, on whose shoulder the Roc of Gibraltar could perch.
Gibraltar passed from the hands of Pirates when a band of roving Ninjas fought and slew every Pirate up in that mutha. They then (literally) defaced the Pirate statue and used the Roc to pick up women, instead of elephants. (There is some question as to whether the Ninjas used the Roc to carry Hippos to the region.)
The Ninjas grew tired of paying property taxes and finding enough newspapers to line the Roc's cage and so sold Gibraltar and the Roc to a group of Mookish traders. The Mooks introduced Momandadism to Gibraltar and funky buildings with domes shaped like Dairy Queen soft-serve. The Mooks grew rich on the trade routes that had previously been preyed upon by pirates. Things progressed smoothly for the Mooks until the reign of the Spanish King LearJet and his consort Queen Amygdala.
Spain sent its great hero Ponce de Leon ("Putz of the Lion") to conquer Gibraltar and unite all of Spain under one flag. Spain controlled Gibraltar for a century, influencing language, art, and cuisine. Eventually, the English fleet (in the neighbourhood fighting Napoleon AGAIN) under Lord Nelson Mandela captured Gibraltar, as penalty for Spain picking the wrong side, and it has been in British hands since 1983. The Roc still enjoys its perch, on the newly refurbished statue, now carved to resemble Queen Elizabeth Jr.
Owing to these varied influences, Gibberish contains elements of Carthaginian, Romulan, Piratese (yar!), Ninja (aiiiiiiya!), Spanish and English languages. Here are some examples of Gibberish, note that Gibberish has become the official language of instruction manuals.
- "typical of China's glorious history and cultural"
- "All your base are belong to us!"
- "Caution: Contents hot after heating"
- "Warning: Not to be used for edible purposes!"
- "Suggestion of Drink: Please to add Ice"
Gibraltar gained worldwide fame and renown when on September 10, 1112 AD, Mookish mathematicians in Gibraltar invented Algebra. Naming for their sunny homeland, the mathematicians decided that their new invention would be the perfect device to confuse and torture Junior High and High School children. Algebra was discovered when Mumar al Abacus al Gibraltar was trying to figure out: If Camel A leaves Mecca at 8:00 AM, travelling at 8mph heading north and Camel B leaves Medina at 9:30 AM travelling at 10mph heading south, when will the two camels intersect? Mumar puzzled long over this question, so long that his wives became exes. Inspired by this marital betrayal, Mumar had the women stoned, but honoured them as variables in equations X and Y. When the Spanish took over Gibraltar, it was just in time for the Spanish Inquisition (which no one expected). Realizing that Mumar's invention was the perfect mental torture, the Spaniards adopted it and used it throughout their vast empire.

Purpose Findings on the association between risk of cardiovascular disease (CVD) and the duration and type of androgen-deprivation therapy (ADT) in men with prostate cancer (PCa) are inconsistent.
Methods By using data on filled drug prescriptions in Swedish national health care registers, we investigated the risk of CVD in a cohort of 41,362 men with PCa on ADT compared with an age-matched, PCa-free comparison cohort (n = 187,785) by use of multivariable Cox proportional hazards regression models.
Results From 2006 to 2012, 10,656 men were on antiandrogens (AA), 26,959 were on gonadotropin-releasing hormone (GnRH) agonists, and 3,747 underwent surgical orchiectomy. CVD risk was increased in men on GnRH agonists compared with the comparison cohort (hazard ratio [HR] of incident CVD, 1.21; 95% CI, 1.18 to 1.25; and orchiectomy: HR, 1.16; 95% CI, 1.08 to 1.25). Men with PCa on AA were at decreased risk (HR of incident CVD, 0.87; 95% CI, 0.82 to 0.91). CVD risk was highest during the first 6 months of ADT in men who experienced two or more cardiovascular events before therapy, with an HR of CVD during the first 6 months of GnRH agonist therapy of 1.91 (95% CI, 1.66 to 2.20), an HR of CVD with AA of 1.60 (95% CI, 1.24 to 2.06), and an HR of CVD with orchiectomy of 1.79 (95% CI, 1.16 to 2.76) versus the comparison cohort.
Conclusion Our results support that there should be a solid indication for ADT in men with PCa so that benefit outweighs potential harm; this is of particular importance among men with a recent history of CVD.

A site in a housing estate that was left unfinished in a Laois village during the Celtic Tiger era is on the market for €35,000.
Clement Heron is the agent that has brought the .18 acre serviced sit at 10 Glenall, Borris-in-Ossory to market.
The marketing description says the property offers a unique opportunity to design and build your own home in a "magnificent small community setting offering an exceptional opportunity to raise a family in a safe and traditional environment".
The estate has recovered from the bad old days thanks to the work of Laois County Council stepping in and new developers completing houses.
"This exclusive development, with only a small number of houses, offers country village living at its best," said the promotional material.
It that Borris-in-Ossory is well located on the western border of Co Laois.
"This picturesque village is only one minute drive to the M7 and/or M8 or the main Dublin/Limerick/Cork and the exceptional retail and Business Park at Exit 3 on the M8.
"Living in Borris-in-Ossory is certainly experiencing the best of both worlds. For shopping enthusiasts, one hour by motorway will bring you to Dublin, or 40 minutes to Limerick.
"You can enjoy the delights that Portlaoise or Kilkenny have to offer within a thirty minute drive. The close proximity to the local national school means just a stroll away. For recreation you can enjoy activities such as golfing, fishing, walking and cycling.
"The village is situated between several golf courses including Rathdowney, Mountrath and Roscrea. The little village is steeped in history," says the agent based in Portlaoise.
