Sushi Science: A 3-D View Of The Body's Wasabi Receptor
Researchers have discovered the exact structure of the receptor that makes our sensory nerves tingle when we eat sushi garnished with wasabi. And because the "wasabi receptor" is also involved in pain perception, knowing its shape should help pharmaceutical companies develop new drugs to fight pain.
"The big advance here is that we can actually see the structure of the molecule — we can see the atoms in the molecule."
The receptor, which scientists call TRPA1, is "an important molecule in the pain pathway," says David Julius, a professor of physiology at the University of California, San Francisco and an author of a paper published in this week's Nature. "A dream of mine is that some of the work we do will translate into medicines people can take for chronic pain."
Julius led a team that discovered the receptor about a decade ago. Since then, researchers have shown that TRPA1 receptors begin sending distress signals to the brain whenever they encounter pungent chemical irritants, including not only wasabi but tear gas and air pollution from cars or wood fires.
The receptors also become activated in response to chemicals released by the body itself when tissue becomes inflamed from an injury or a disease like rheumatoid arthritis.
But Julius wanted to know what the receptor looked like at the level of atoms — something that would tell him a lot about how it worked. And one day, in the hallway near his lab, he ran into Yifan Cheng, a biochemist who is an expert in single particle electron cryomicroscopy, which uses an electron microscope to study biological samples at very low temperatures.
For a long time, the technique produced only fuzzy images of structures as small as the wasabi TRPA1 receptor. "But in the last few years, this technique has undergone a revolutionary leap forward," Cheng says.
So the researchers decided to give it a try on TRPA1, and it worked. "The big advance here is that we can actually see the structure of the molecule — we can see the atoms in the molecule," Julius says.
That allowed the team to create a precise, three-dimensional, structural model of the receptor. The model shows how the receptor opens a channel to the nerve cell's interior and sends a distress signal to the brain when exposed to certain chemicals.
Drug companies have already begun experimenting with medicines meant to reduce pain by blocking the receptor's normal response. "What the structure does is, it gives pharmaceutical firms sort of a map for either tweaking the drugs that they have," Julius says, "or for developing drugs that might have different properties."
Drugs that affect TRPA1 receptors are desirable because they work in a different way than do existing pain relievers, Julius says. And because TRPA1 receptors are highly concentrated in the nerve fibers involved in pain sensation, he says, the new drugs would be less likely to produce side effects like addiction or stomach problems.
Drugs that block the wasabi receptor might also offer a new way to treat chronic, debilitating itch, says Diana Bautista of the University of California, Berkeley. Bautista's lab has found strong evidence that TRPA1 triggers itch sensations associated with eczema and certain nerve disorders.
"Chronic itch is very prevalent," she says. "It's thought to affect about 10 percent of people worldwide, and there are very few effective treatments for it."
Bautista says drug companies are beginning to look into TRPA1 drugs as a new approach.

There’s a little bit of a vegetable crisis in the UK at the moment. While the weather here has been suspiciously mild, Spain – where something like 80% of Europe’s salad vegetables are grown – and Italy have been experiencing flooding and snow. Hence, the noticeable lacks of things like lettuce, spinach, courgette, aubergine and broccoli.
My main question is, who’s eating all that salad at this time of year? It’s cold here, what are they playing at? On the other hand, not being a fan of either aubergine or courgette, the news of a shortage gives me a surge of relief, perhaps I’ll see more ‘vegetarian options’ on the menu that aren’t centred on either vegetable!
This winter appears to be one that is determined to make me think more actively about seasonal vegetables and seasonal eating more generally. I suspect there must either have been a bit of a cauliflower shortage earlier this year, either that or there’s been a glut of the stuff the last few winters. Since becoming a vegetarian, I’ve grown used to buying a big cauliflower cheaply to bulk out winter curries and soups. At the start of the season there appeared to be very few of them around and once they did appear they were twice the price they’d been the year before. Handily beetroot was plentiful and reasonably priced so I’ve been continuing my experiments in rehabilitating it into my diet with some enthusiasm.
It wasn’t until spinach disappeared from the shelves that I realised quite how dependent I’d become on it as a source iron and general colour in meals. I also hadn’t noticed, quite how often kale could be found on special offer, or just reduced at the end of the day. I still need to pump up my iron levels, so I’ve been experimenting with substituting kale for spinach. Now that I’ve learned the trick to quickly and effectively steam cook my kale it’s proving surprisingly versatile. I’m still a bit dubious about trying it in muffins or on pizza, but so far it’s been delicious in dal and a perfect substitute for broccoli in many a meal. Weirdly, on the broccoli front, while there’s been an utter dearth of those familiar little trees around the place, I’ve been able to pick up packets of broccoli florets (or mixed broccoli and cauliflower florets) in the reduced section on a regular basis. So broccoli and cauliflower cheese has become a regular treat for me (I made it a few weeks back with leftover Xmas cheese, brie makes a really very decadent sauce) and sweet potato and kale bubble and squeak is an unexpected delight.
Although the weather definitely started to improve last month, it was still weather that called for some hot and filling bulk-cooking adventures.
First up we had beetroot risotto with feta cheese and mint. Beetroot is a vegetable that I’m trying to rehabilitate into my diet. It’s a vegetable that I associate with summer salads and quiet resentment. I was the opposite of a fussy eater as a child – I loved food and would happily eat pretty much whatever was put in front of me. Which is not to say that I necessarily liked the food in question, it just had to be really vile – looking at you over-cooked Brussels sprouts) for me to turn my nose up at it. Beetroot was always a bit of a minefield, for a start it’s a bit of a marmite substance in my extended family with opinions divided drastically. And then there’s the vinegar issue, as depending on if its been kept in vinegar or not it tastes completely different. Small un-fussy me would eat a couple of pieces for politeness – often baffled by why it tasted so much better/worse than the previous time I’d had it – and otherwise avoid it. It was always served cold. Once I was old enough to form true opinions on food it was consigned to the scrap heap of ‘food that Wendy will eat but would rather not’ along with cabbage, cauliflower, marmalade and chops.
Having successfully re-habilitated cauliflower into my diet over the last couple of years, I felt the need for a new challenge and beetroot seemed a suitable target. (I replaced cabbage with kale in my diet at 9 when my parents started growing their own and now that kale is widely available in the shops, I see no reason to go back.) I did make my own borsht a few years ago and it was…fine. I ate it, but I never bothered to make it again. But digging through my cookbook last month I came across a beetroot risotto recipe that look straightforward and gave it a bash. It came out a truly gorgeous red/pink colour. The recipe suggested using pretty much an entire packet of feta cheese, which seemed to me – having only recently been converted to the joys of feta cheese – to be a little excessive, so I went easy on the feta. But no, it needs the extra feta, which someone how balances the distinctive, slightly cloying beetroot taste. It’s a perfect match of flavours, delicious and filling to eat, really quite pretty to look at. A delightful discovery.
My second dish is a little bit of a cheat. As what I ended up making was more inspired by the recipe than actually following the recipe. It was supposed to be quinoa, raisins, walnuts and parsley, but I had some bulgur wheat left in the cupboard so I used that instead. The recipe said that you could swap pinenuts in for walnuts and as I had one and not the other in the cupboard I did that. And then my raisins were a bit dried up looking and needed a bit longer soaked in some fruit juice to revive them so I left them out. I definitely didn’t have any parsley but I did have some left-over cooked broccoli from a pasta dish I’d made earlier in the week so I added that in to bulk it up and add the required green element to the dish. It certainly wasn’t what I intended to make but it was rather tasty.
I came across a Billy Connelly quote the other day that seemed particularly apt, “Scotland only has two seasons: June and Winter.” And for a while there it looked like this year June had arrived without bringing Summer with it. (Seriously, it hailed last Friday.) So I’ve been making quite a lot of soup lately.
The first lot came about purely because I had some broccoli in the fridge that was looking a bit sad, so went looking for a recipe to use it up and came across a recipe for broccoli and blue cheese soup. There was a place in my hometown when I was a teenager that did an excellent cauliflower and Stilton soup, and given that I prefer broccoli to cauliflower any day of the week it seemed a good idea. So I grabbed some leeks and a pack of baking potatoes (you’re supposed to use large floury potatoes for it but the shops are rather low of potatoes that aren’t tiny at the moment so baking potatoes it was) and had at it. It turned out to be an excellent and very tasty idea and definitely one I’ll be making again and again in the future. The dollop of mascarpone is pure indulgence but does mellow the whole business out nicely. A delicious success.
It also came with instructions on making your own garlic bread, so I when I had time I ate tasty home-made garlic bread and when I was short of time I had left over fresh baguette to dunk in it. A win all round.
Having bought potatoes and leeks, the nature of these things is that there was plenty of both left over, so I obviously made potato and leek soup. But not ordinary potato and leek soup: potato and leek vichyssoise. Yeah. It’s supposed to be made with chicken stock but have crispy pancetta sprinkled on top as a garnish. As a compromise, as I still have random pork stock cubes in the cupboard, I decided to make it with pork stock instead. This was such rubbish soup, just really bland and bleurgh? I seasoned it to heck and still it was bland weird yellowy soup. So we shall not be making that one again. Rarely does Lorraine let me down, but when she does its pretty spectacular.


|Man robbed while trying to buy car
By Jessica Stith of The Daily Times Staff
A Lenoir City man said he was robbed by suspects armed with crowbars and pipes while he was trying to buy a car on Feb. 9 in Rockford — and now one man is in custody on a robbery charge.
Christopher Dewayne Clabough, 22, Grade Road, Rockford, was charged Sunday by Blount County Sheriff’s deputies with robbery. He was being held in lieu of a $10,000 bond pending a 9 a.m. Feb. 20 hearing in Blount County General Sessions Court.
According to a Blount County Sheriff’s Office report, K-9 Deputy Tony Boring responded to 3627 Grade Road (Clabough’s residence) at 6:06 p.m. Feb. 9 on the report of a robbery. Upon arrival, he spoke to a 28-year-old Lenoir City man who said he and his friend, a 23-year-old Lenoir City man, went to the Grade Road residence to meet a female about a vehicle he was interested in buying.
Once at the residence, the 28-year-old man said the female said she needed to go inside the residence to get her purse. He said the woman invited him to follow her inside and he and his friend followed her in the back door, the report said.
“(The 28-year-old man) stated that as soon as they got inside, several subjects came out of various rooms with crowbars and pipes in their hands,” Boring reported.
The victim told deputies that one of the subjects said, “we can do this the easy way or the hard way,” and demanded that he give them his money. The 28-year-old man said he had $1,800 cash on him, which he planned to use to buy the vehicle. The suspects fled out of the back of the residence with his money, the report said.
Neither of the Lenoir City men were reported to be injured during the incident.
One of the neighbors reportedly told the victims that one of the suspects was Clabough. Boring located Clabough on Tarbett Road. Clabough told Boring that he was with other people earlier, but he did not know their names.
“Mr. Clabough stated that he was allowing a male subject (name unknown) to use his residence to sell pills,” Boring reported.
Questioning of suspect
Boring then searched Clabough and found $300 cash, a glass pipe and marijuana residue, the report said. Clabough said the unknown male gave him $300 for allowing him to use his residence.
Clabough was taken to the Blount County Jail where he was placed on an investigative hold. Boring conducted an interview with Clabough where he again said that, “all he knows is he was allowing an unknown male subject to use his residence to sell pills and the subject paid him when he went to the residence.” Boring placed the $300 cash into evidence.
No other suspects had been charged in the robbery as of Monday.

As many of you know, Curiosity’s landing was successful, and after much fanfare, the first images of the Red planet from the new rover were transmitted back to Earth.
This image is among the first sent home from the rover’s landing site.
Also, how do you know if your new Mars rover is making a good landing? Simply take a picture of it from your Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter!
Truly though, the above image has become one of my most favorite NASA photographs. The image shows the lander on it’s way to the surface just before touch-down.

If you haven’t already heard, the Mumbai-based Fox Star Studios is going to start filming a remake of John Green’s novel, The Fault in Our Stars, in Bollywood! According to The Hollywood Reporter, Fox Star Studios CEO Vijay Singh said:
“We think the story will have an emotional [connection] with Indian audiences,”
The original English version of [The Fault In Our Stars](movie:602185) grossed about $263 million worldwide, $1 million of which came from India. But the financial success of the film was not their only reason for adapting it, Singh stated:
“We had actually thought of adapting it locally even before the film was released here.”
Directing, casting, and production dates have yet to be announced, however there have been some online speculations as to which Bollywood stars might take on the roles of Hazel Grace Lancaster and Augustus Waters.
For the film’s narrator and protagonist, Alia Bhatt’s name has been thrown into the ring.
And for the star-crossed love of her life people have been suggesting Bollywood's crown prince, Ranbin Kapoor.
Yes, he is a great deal older than the 17-year-old August, but I wouldn’t complain about seeing him on screen!

It’s been an article of faith for the GOP: Thou shalt not cut defense spending.
But with the sequester threatening to slash hundreds of billions from the Pentagon budget, a surprising number of Republicans are ready to violate that commandment.
The sequester cuts, they say, are better than no cuts at all.
This new generation of conservatives in Congress, freed from the ideologies of the Cold War and Reagan-era defense buildups, is pushing Republicans to buck their tradition and put defense on the chopping block in pursuit of a truly smaller federal government.
The group includes GOP rookies like Reps. Justin Amash of Michigan, Paul Gosar of Arizona and Tim Huelskamp of Kansas who simply aren’t concerned by the blunt slash to defense spending as long as it accomplishes the goal of deficit reduction. Others, like Rep. Austin Scott of Georgia, aren’t particularly thrilled with the way the sequester cuts are made or the way the debt deal was done to begin with, but they’re ready to talk seriously about how to make cuts to mandatory military spending. And South Carolina Rep. Mick Mulvaney, one of the most conservative members of the House, led a group of Republicans and liberal Democrats that sent a letter to the White House and congressional leaders calling on them to include serious defense cuts in a fiscal cliff deal.
Mulvaney, who teamed up with Rep. Barney Frank (D-Mass.) earlier this year to pass an amendment that froze defense spending, said the sequester is the wrong way to cut the Pentagon’s budget and believes there are alternative ways to come up with the cuts. But, he said, “the only thing worse [than the sequester] would be to not cut spending at all.” Mulvaney has been outspoken about the need to find savings in the defense budget.
“If we don’t take defense spending seriously, it undermines our credibility on other spending issues,” Mulvaney told POLITICO. “When we speak candidly about a spending problem and we then seek to puff up the defense budget and it leads people to believe that we aren’t taking the problem seriously.”
These conservatives joined Congress as the U.S. has been trying to wind down the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan, and the more libertarian idea of scaling back U.S. involvement in the world has caught on with some of the congressional rookies.
In an op-ed in the Arizona Republic, Gosar argued that Congress needs to let the sequester cuts go through.
“We either have a spending problem or we don’t,” Gosar said in an interview. “Going back to the military budget of 2009 — we’re still going to have the biggest military in the world. If we can’t go over this bump, we’ll never be able to get anything big done.”
“A little pain allows the medicine to go down,” the former dentist added. “We’ll at least be treating the problem in order for us to get well again.”
Other fiscal hawks have a problem not with the cuts per se but with the fact that they are made across the board. Still, they are open to looking at tightening the Pentagon’s purse strings.
“The problem with the sequester is not the cuts, but how the cuts are made. It cuts things that are not necessary at the same level it cuts things that quite honestly are necessary,” said Georgia’s Scott. “We’ve been operating under continuing resolutions for years now in this country and that means that we’ve maintained things that we probably should have gotten rid of a long time ago; that you simply can’t get rid of in a continuing resolution.”
Not everyone on the right is ready to break with party tradition on defense.
Another Georgia House member, Rep. Paul Broun, who has advocated eliminating the Department of Education and the Environmental Protection Agency, says no cuts to the military should be made.
“Defense cuts are going to be tragic for our national security. … We’re cutting our defense into muscle and bone,” he said of the sequester. “We need to be building up our military and not cutting it.”
But Amash, whose outlook on foreign policy is decidedly more libertarian, called his party’s unwillingness to even look at cutting defense spending “frightening.”
“I think they are willing to raise taxes to avoid defense cuts. I think they are willing to take really bad deals to avoid defense cuts,” he said at a Heritage Foundation event last week. “I’m not calling for some massive reduction in defense spending … but they aren’t even willing to look at reducing it to George W. Bush levels.”
“A party that’s not even willing to look at that, that’s a frightening scenario,” he added.
Amash was one of a quartet of House Republican lawmakers removed from committees for going against their leadership. He remarked at the Heritage event that he thinks a key similarity he shares with the other booted members is their “positions on military spending that are a little more open to compromise.”
Huelskamp, the Kansan who was kicked off the Budget and Agriculture committees, said he was baffled that Republicans would try to undo the sequester when they had agreed to the debt deal in the first place.
“It was told to us in the Budget Committee that the sequester was never going to happen,” Huelskamp said. “What do you mean it’s never going to happen? That was the whole deal.”
He said it would be “pretty difficult to trust” GOP leaders to cut a deal with President Barack Obama to come up with cuts that would be acceptable to replace the sequester after “they all agreed that the cuts the last time were all just a mirage to raise the debt ceiling.”
Rep. James Lankford (R-Okla.), who voted for the debt deal that eventually led to the sequester, said cuts must be made to the mandatory side of the ledger as well as to the Pentagon “to make a long-term impact” on the debt.
“The White House seems to think the problem is the sequester instead of the problem being the debt, I’m trying to say the problem is the debt,” he said. “The sequester is just one vehicle of many that’s going to have to be used to get out of our debt and deficit. But the end of the war is not a way to turn off the sequester.”
Rep. Raul Labrador (R-Idaho) put his opinion on the sequester simply.
“No cuts would be worse for the American economy,” he said.

Big corporations like Delta Air Lines, Coca-Cola, and Major League Baseball (MLB) are outraged by Georgia’s new voting law, which states that voters can only vote if they provide a photo ID. However, many Americans fail to see anything wrong with one of the requirements of the new regulation.
According to the Washington Examiner, an Associated Press (AP) poll revealed that 72 percent of its takers favored providing a photo ID before being able to vote. In the state of Georgia itself, 74 percent of voters who took a UGA/AJC (University of Georgia/Atlanta Journal Constitution) poll indicated that they supported bringing photo IDs to the voting stands as well.
Other polls share similar results. In an Economist/YouGov poll, supporters of “requiring a photo ID as a means to vote by absentee ballot” outnumbered the opposition by 25 percent. Another poll conducted by Selzer & Company and Grinnell College resulted in 56 percent favoring voter identification, with 36 percent against the measure.
Voter identification has had widespread approval even before 2021. Pew Research reported that 77 percent of voters supported presenting a photo ID before voting in 2012, with 80 percent showing the same mindset in 2006.
It would seem that several big corporations are out of touch with their customer base. They’d better tone down their protests if they want to keep making money.

2020 Winter - Installing a Remote Monitoring System
Questions to Ask Before Installing a Remote Monitoring System
The sooner you can detect extreme temperature fluctuations, rising humidity, or equipment failure in your greenhouse, the more inventory you can save.
No matter the size of your greenhouse operation, keeping your plants alive and healthy requires the best possible growing environment. This means greenhouse managers and personnel must frequently monitor the status of environmental conditions and equipment.
Integrating a remote monitoring system into your greenhouse can save you time, money, and anxiety. Monitoring systems that use cloud-based technology let you see real-time status of all monitored conditions and receive alerts right on your mobile device.
Here are answers to a few questions to ask before installing a cloud-based monitoring system.
What Kind of Monitoring System and Sensors Should I Use for My Operation?
A reputable manufacturer will have a well-trained support team that can assess your needs, even without a site visit, to determine which products are best for your application. If you feel you need them to check out your greenhouse operation, many companies can set up a video conference or FaceTime chat to substitute for being on site.
You will want to provide details about the scope and purpose of your greenhouse operation. Important factors to discuss include:
• Skeletal structure of the greenhouse (metal, plastic, wood, etc.) and the covering material (glass
• Floor space, square footage, and height of each of your greenhouses
• Number of greenhouse structures in your operation
• Outdoor climate to determine if you rely more on heating or air conditioning and the level of humidity control needed
• Space dedicated to specific plants and the microclimates needed for each
• Types of lighting, ventilation, and irrigation systems
• Level of technological automation versus manual operation in place
The monitoring system representative will then determine the type of system that would best serve your operation, the number of base units you will need, and the types of sensors required.
Are Sensors Included With a Monitoring System?
In most cases, sensors are sold separately. The sensors you select depend on the conditions you want to monitor and how many you can connect to your base unit. Certainly, temperature is critical, but there are many other factors to deal with as well, such as humidity, CO2, soil moisture, water pH, power and equipment failure, ventilation, and physical security.
For example, humidity has a direct impact on the photosynthesis and transpiration of plants. High humidity can cause disease and promote the growth mold, algae, and mildew. Sensors can detect changes in humidity levels.
Because plants need CO2 to thrive, it’s a good idea to include a CO2 sensor that will signal the monitoring device when readings go out of the preset range. There are even sensors that you can place in the soil to measure moisture content to help prevent over- or under-watering, budget water usage costs, promote growth, and increase crop yield and quality.
Ventilation systems not only help control temperature, they also provide fresh air that is critical to plant health. Automated systems include features like vented roofs, side vents, and forced fans. Sensors placed on all these systems will send personnel an alert if they stop running or operate outside of preset parameters.
Do Monitoring Systems Only Work With the Manufacturer’s Sensors?
Not necessarily. For example, certain monitoring units can connect with most 4-20mA sensors and transmitters regardless of the brand. When selecting sensors, you might have a choice between ones designed by the manufacturer to work specifically with the monitoring system or universal components made by a third party. If the components aren’t made by the system manufacturer, you’ll want to find out if they have been tested with the monitor you are choosing and if you need to work with another vendor to purchase the parts.
Is There a Monthly Fee to Access all the Functionality of a Monitoring Device?
Many web- or cloud-based systems provide free functionality with some limitations. You might have to purchase a premium subscription to unlock features such as text messaging, phone call alerts, and unlimited datalogging access.
Can One System Monitor Several Sensor Inputs Around the Clock?
Once the monitoring system is installed and programmed, it will constantly read the information from the sensors 24/7. Cloud-based systems have datalogging capabilities and store limitless amounts of information that you can view from any internet-connected device via a web- site or app.
If the system detects any sensor readings outside of the preset range, it will send an alarm to all designated personnel. The number of sensors a base unit can monitor varies. Make sure to evaluate your needs and to select one that can accommodate your present situation and future growth.
When a monitoring system identifies a change in status, it immediately sends alerts to people on your contact list. If you don’t want all your personnel to receive notifications at the same time, some devices can be programmed to send alerts in a tiered fashion or on a schedule.
Do Monitoring Systems Have a Back-up Power System?
The safest choice is a cloud-based system that comes with a built-in battery backup that will last for hours in the event of a power failure. Cloud-based units constantly communicate a signal to the cloud to validate its online status. If the communication link is interrupted — for example, by a power outage or an employee accidentally switching off the unit — the system generates an alarm indicating that the internet connection is lost or that there is a cellular communications problem. Users are alerted about the disruption through phone, text, or email. All data collected during this time will be stored in the device and will be uploaded to the cloud when the internet connection is restored.
What are the Costs Associated With Repairs to the System?
Purchase your system from a reputable manufacturer that provides a warranty and offers full repair services in the event the product stops working as it should. Also, research to make sure their tech support team is knowledgeable and willing to walk you through any questions you have about your monitoring system. Often, support specialists can diagnose and correct unit setup and programming issues over the phone.
Installing a monitoring system is an easy and affordable way to make sure your equipment is running properly, and environmental conditions are where they need to be to keep your plants healthy.

Bowtech is a body therapy that was developed by the late Tom Bowen, who lived in Geelong, Victoria. Bowtech (also known as the Bowen Technique) is now a globally recognised modality, with 26,000 practitioners worldwide by 2009.
The technique can assist with:
- Back pain
- Knee, ankle and foot problems
- Neck problems
- Shoulder problems
- Respiratory problems
- RSI, tennis elbow, carpal tunnel syndrome
- Headaches, migraines.
Gentle purposeful ‘moves’ are performed over muscles and connective tissue (over tendons, ligaments and nerves). This sends a message via nerve receptors to help the body return to a balanced state. The technique addresses the whole body, including the fascia, nerves, musculo-skeletal system and internal organs. It also assists with circulation, lymphatic drainage, assimilation of nutrients and removal of toxins.

Exosonic and Hermeus—relatively unknown developers of faster-than-the-speed-of-sound passenger aircraft—as well as Boom Supersonic, were recently awarded separate contracts by the U.S. Air Force’s Presidential and Executive Airlift Directorate to develop executive transports that could be used as Air Force One. Boom and Exosonic are both working on supersonic airliners, while Hermeus is developing a smaller, 20-seat hypersonic airplane.
The $1 million contract awarded to Exosonic, which was announced in early September, is for the company’s low-boom, Mach 1.8 twinjet that would fly U.S. leaders up to 5,000-nm nonstop, allowing them to more quickly meet with world leaders or react to developing situations. In airline configuration, the supersonic jet would be able to seat up to 70 people.
Boom Supersonic, which is nearing completion of its XB-1 scale model supersonic demonstrator, was given a similar contract. The Denver-based company ultimately plans to build and certify Overture, a 45-seat Mach 2.2 airliner. "Overture offers the Air Force a unique combination of passenger capacity, speed, and enough space and power to accommodate the requirements of necessary mission systems. Plus, the aircraft can be configured for multiple cabin zones, affording a layout with as much privacy as necessary," the company said. "Overture could also become part of the Civil Reserve Air Fleet (CRAF), enabling humanitarian and other critical airlifts in half the time."
Meanwhile, Hermeus’s USAF award granted earlier this month for its Mach 5 airplane comes under an “other transaction for prototype agreement direct to Phase II contract” after the company successfully tested a hypersonic engine prototype in February. The company said it has taken an “off-the-shelf gas turbine engine and operated it at flight speed conditions faster than the famed SR-71.” Though performance and specification data for its Mach 5 jet are scant, it claimed the aircraft will be able to fly from New York to London in about 90 minutes.
Boom plans to fly Overture in 2025, with certification and service entry expected in 2027. Exosonic and Hermeus have not yet provided development timelines for their faster-than-sound airplanes.

Ravens Steelers Betting – Steelers Take Tough Hard-Hitting Battle Against Ravens
Sports betting players figure that the road to the AFC North title will go through either Pittsburgh or Baltimore, and the two rivals will square off for the first time this Sunday. It’ll be a typically hard-hitting game with a low score, which is why spread betting could be risky for this game. It may be prudent to take the Steelers straight up.
- What: NFL betting
- When: Sunday, October 3rd, 1:00 PM ET
- Where: Heinz Field, Pittsburgh, PA
- Pick: Pittsburgh Steelers
What’s On The Line
The Steelers (3-0) remain unbeaten after a 38-13 romp of Tampa Bay Buccaneers, and this showdown with Baltimore will be their final game without suspended quarterback Ben Roethlisberger, although they’re doing pretty well without him. The Ravens (2-1) scored 10 points in the fourth quarter of a 24-17 win at home over Cleveland, setting up what could be the first meeting of the two teams that will fight for the AFC North crown.
Offensive Matchups: Ravens Steelers Betting
Joe Flacco was 22-of-31 for 262 yards and three touchdowns with no turnovers for the Baltimore Ravens in his best game of the season, and that also opened up the field for Ray Rice, who had 80 yards on 15 carries. Anquan Boldin caught all three of Flacco’s touchdowns, and the two have built a good understanding in their short time as teammates.
The offense hasn’t been great for the Pittsburgh Steelers, ranking 26th in the league, but the ground game is third and they racked up 201 rushing yards against the Buccaneers. Rashard Mendenhall had 143 yards and a score, and he’s been fine with the heavy workload as the Steelers deal with all of their quarterback problems. But Charlie Batch may have to make some plays with his arm this week, as the Ravens have a stellar run defense.
Betting Edge: Ravens
Defensive Matchups: Ravens Steelers Betting
The Ravens have the best defense in the league statistically, although they did give up an uncharacteristic 173 yards on the ground against the Browns. Last season was strange for the Ravens, who lost coordinator Rex Ryan to the Jets, and they were also without safety Ed Reed. They seem to be resigned to the fact that Reed may not play this year, and they’ve moved on while looking like the defense that has dominated for the last decade.
The Steelers obviously aren’t far behind in sixth place, but “Blitzburgh” is back as Pittsburgh has 10 sacks through the first three games. Four came against the Buccaneers, and the Steelers look far more secure at the back with Troy Polamalu healthy, and that allows the Steelers to be more free with their blitz packages. That means nothing but trouble for opposing quarterbacks.
Betting Edge: Draw
Notable Injuries: Ravens Steelers Betting
Rice (knee) left the Cleveland Browns game in the fourth quarter, and NFL betting players should keep an eye on his availability throughout this week.
Nose tackle Chris Hoke (knee) is out, and that hurts the Steelers’ depth on the defensive line.
Betting Edge: Draw
Outlook and Pick: Ravens Steelers Betting
The NFL betting line for this game will be extremely close, although the Steelers should be favored at home. The Ravens are 1-4 SU in their last five trips to Pittsburgh, but a respectable 2-1-1 ATS, so check the line. Check the total as well: four of the last five at Heinz Field between these two have gone over the total, and given that these two have great defenses, the total is usually absurdly low. The Steelers are the play here, given their play at home (8-2 SU in their last 10), but it’s going to be a game decided by a field goal, so consider that as you make your online betting play.
Stan’s Pick: Pittsburgh Steelers

Authorities seized two kilos of suspected shabu (methamphetamine hydrochloride) worth P13.6 million from five individuals including two college students in a buy-bust operation conducted near a popular fast food chain in Tunasan, Muntinlupa Monday night.
Joint operatives from the Philippine Drug Enforcement Agency (PDEA)-National Capital Region, Southern Police District, and Muntinlupa City Police Station conducted the operation at 9:05 p.m. on March 8.
PDEA identified the suspects as Liezel Julhasan, 40, Donnalyn Julhasan, 21 (second year college student), both of Katarungan Village, Poblacion, Muntinlupa; Denver Porlahe, 19 (first year college student), of Bgy. Langgam, San Pedro, Laguna; Sharifa Kuly, 28 (online seller) of Bgy. Cuyab, San Pedro, Laguna; and Rovelyn Enot, 40, of Type B, NBP Reservation, Poblacion, Muntinlupa.
Recovered from the suspects were two kilos of shabu, seven cell phones, four ID cards, one unit of Toyota Wigo, and boodle money.


Sure, the Lakers had a key possession taken away by the refs. Let’s not argue that. Let’s focus on something else: The Lakers are simply not playing World Championship basketball.
A look at the series stats gives a few examples of why:
1) Shooting. Who are the team’s primary jump shooters? Obviously Kobe, but we can’t forget the clutch shooting of Fisher. Even Artest is counted on for a LITTLE scoring from the outside. Fisher is 0-8 from beyond the arc, and we won’t even put up Artest’s numbers. The Lakers have been completely ineffective from the outside, and Boston is cheating to the paint as a result. They are giving up the outside shot and the Lakers are taking the bait and missing the shots.
2) Shannon Brown and Jordan Farmar. Between them they have almost 120 minutes of playing time and only 34 points to show for it. One of them needs to become useful on offense. Just one.
3) Lamar’s disappearing act. Lamar has played almost 130 minutes and has only 38 points to show for it. Seriously, how can you expect to win when no one is scoring?
4) Lamar is being out-rebounded by Rajon Rondo. Sure, Rondo gets a bit more playing time, but come on…
5) Rondo continually gets layups. The guy is shooting 4-15 from the line, yet he gets uncontested layups over and over. I understand wanting to avoid foul trouble, but seriously guys…
If the Lakers can change any of the five points above, the series will shift in their favor.
Let’s see if they have already given up.

Breakout R&B artist Brent Faiyaz is set to hit the road in 2023 on his headlining F*ck The World, It’s a Wasteland Tour.
Videos by American Songwriter
The vocalist jumped on social media Tuesday (May 2) morning to share the exciting news, revealing the upcoming dates. The “ALL MINE” singer-songwriter is slated to kick-start the world tour on July 16 in Washington, DC, at the Broccoli City Festival.
He will hit massive markets like Chicago, New York, Los Angeles, and Miami before heading across the pound to perform in Europe. The highly anticipated affair will wrap in late November in London.
His announcement comes on the heels of inking a deal with Steve Stoute’s business, UnitedMasters. The distribution company helps independent artists “financially and creatively.”
“Brent Faiyaz is one of the most prolific independent artists today, and we are extremely excited to embark on this new partnership with him,” said Stoute, the UnitedMasters CEO and Founder in a statement. “It’s been inspiring to watch his journey as an artist over the years, and with this partnership, we look to further amplify his creative vision and support his entrepreneurial ambitions.”
Faiyaz plans to keep the positive momentum up by joining forces with Marshmallow ahead of the tour. The electronic DJ and producer recently [May 1] teased a snippet of their track “Fell In Love.”
The short video featured Faiyaz in a deserted field, hitting it off with a lucky lady. While they flirt under the moonlight, “Fell In Love” plays in the background and a heart-shaped Marshmallow appears.
The single is expected to arrive on May 5, the same day tickets will go on sale for his highly anticipated tour.
The fast-rising artist also dropped a captivating music video for his track “ROLLING STONE,” which lives on his 19-song album, WASTELAND. In less than 24 hours, the clip garnered 115K views on YouTube alone.

I have managed to do a little decorating since Saturday, but I don't think I have ever been so behind. Here's just a little sneak peak of a few areas I have decorated.
free cabinet in my kitchen, that I will be painting soon. When I saw this stained glass window at Goodwill for only 6.00 a year ago I almost ran over a couple of people getting to it. At night it is beautiful with the light glowing behind it. I threw some of my dollar store greenery up there and I'm thinking this may just be my favorite spot this year!
This is on top of my kitchen cabinet. Next year these cabinets will be white, I CANNOT wait. I'm gonna love the Christmas decor with white cabinets . I don't usually decorate up here but I lost some of my space with the change in furniture. So are you feeling like me.... the hurried you go the behinder you get?

TACO Bell is giving out free bean burritos for the next month if you spend $5 online or on the app.
The offer is running until October 17 in the US so you have a month to get your hands on the free grub.
For those that have yet to try it, the bean burrito is part of the Mexican-inspired fast food chain’s vegetarian menu.
It’s filled with refried beans, onions, Taco Bell red sauce, and shredded Cheddar cheese.
Once you're ready to go, you need to spend at least $5 through the website or app to get the bean burrito.
The offer is available for in-restaurant purchases and pick up orders but not on deliveries.
It can also only be used once per account.
Not all Taco Bells are taking part so you'll need to check if your local is participating.
There's over 7,000 Taco Bell restaurants and drive-thrus in the US and you can find your nearest one by using the online store locator.
Each bean burrito has 386 calories so it's actually better for weight watchers than a shredded chicken version, which has 400 calories.

Modric sits out bore draw as Adebayor arrives at the Lane
Tottenham Hotspur 0 Hearts 0 (Tottenham win 5-0 on aggregate)
Friday 26 August 2011
The footballing earthquake that was necessary to prevent Tottenham progressing into today's draw for the group stage of the Europa League failed to materialise last night, although unlike a week ago they struggled to defeat a far more resolute Hearts side. Using four teenaged debutants but not Luka Modric, Spurs missed a penalty and were unable to add to last Thursday's five goals.
Despite insisting that they will hold onto Modric, who is due to play against Manchester City on Sunday, Tottenham have again left their transfer business late, going into the final week of the window before last night securing Emmanuel Adebayor from City and the Spanish midfielder Iago Falque from Juventus on season-long loans. Adebayor watched from the main stand and will have to do so again on Sunday, when he is ineligible. "The chairman's working on a couple of transfers at the moment," Harry Redknapp said later, admitting that Real Madrid's Lassana Diarra was one of them.
If the personnel were very different from the first leg, so was the pattern of the game. Several thousand raucous visiting supporters thought their team had scored as early as the 12th minute, when Gordon Smith took a pass from Rudi Skacel and struck a ferocious drive against the underside of the bar.
The Scots should have fallen behind, however, after half an hour. Harry Kane was brought down by Jamie Macdonald, but the goalkeeper was allowed to stay on the pitch and threw himself to his right to push away Kane's penalty.
Tottenham Hotspur (4-4-2): Cudicini; Corluka, Dawson (Kaboul, 46), Bassong, Townsend; Fredericks (Kranjcar, 61), Huddlestone, Livermore (J Nicholson, 76), Carroll; Pavlyuchenko, Kane. Substitutes not used Friedel, Assou-Ekotto, Van der Vaart, Defoe.
Hearts (4-1-4-1): MacDonald; McGowan, Webster, Zaliukas, Grainger; Jonsson; Templeton, Robinson (Taouil, 79), Skacel (Mrowiec, 72), Novikovas; Smith (Suso Santana, 83). Substitutes not used Kello, Obua, Driver, Stevenson.
Referee A Kakos (Greece).

The Most Amazing Suitcases of The World
Choose and Look HERE:
Eritrea, formally the State of Eritrea, is a nation in the Horn of Africa, with its capital at Asmara. It is flanked by Sudan in the west, Ethiopia in the south, and Djibouti in the southeast. The northeastern and eastern pieces of Eritrea have a broad coastline along the Red Sea. The country has a complete territory of around 117,600 km2 (45,406 sq mi), and incorporates the Dahlak Archipelago and a few of the Hanish Islands. Its toponym Eritrea depends on the Greek name for the Red Sea (Erythra Thalassa), which was first received for Italian Eritrea in 1890. The production of current Eritrea is a consequence of the joining of autonomous, particular kingdoms and sultanates (for instance, Medri Bahri and the Sultanate of Aussa) in the long run bringing about the arrangement of Italian Eritrea. After the annihilation of the Italian provincial armed force in 1942, Eritrea was directed by the British Military Administration until 1952. Following the UN General Assembly choice, in 1952, Eritrea would administer itself with a nearby Eritrean parliament however for remote issues and resistance it would go into a government status with Ethiopia for a time of 10 years. Be that as it may, in 1962 the administration of Ethiopia revoked the Eritrean parliament and formally attached Eritrea. Yet, the Eritreans that contended for complete Eritrean autonomy since the ouster of the Italians in 1941, foreseen what was coming and in 1960 sorted out the Eritrean Liberation Front in resistance. In 1991, following 30 years of persistent outfitted battle for freedom, the Eritrean freedom contenders entered the capital city, Asmara, in triumph. Eritrea is a one-party state in which national authoritative races have never been held since autonomy.
117,600 km2 (99th)
Asmara is the capital and most crowded city of Eritrea and the Central Region. It sits at a height of 2,325 meters (7,628 ft), making it the 6th most noteworthy capital on the planet by elevation. The city is situated at the tip of a slope that is both the northwestern edge of the Eritrean good countries and the Great Rift Valley in neighboring Ethiopia. Asmara was first settled in 800 BC with a populace extending from 100 to 1000. The city was then established in the twelfth century CE after four separate towns brought together to live respectively gently after extensive stretches of contention. It lies on north-south inclining good countries known as the Eritrean Highlands, an augmentation of the Ethiopian Highlands. The mild focal part, where Asmara lies, is arranged on a rough good country level, which isolates the western marshes from the eastern waterfront fields. The grounds that encompass Asmara are prolific, particularly those toward the south towards the Debub Region of Eritrea.
Gerbera Daisy (Gerbera)
Gerbera is a variety of plants in the Asteraceae (daisy family). It was named to pay tribute to German botanist and therapeutic specialist Traugott Gerber. Gerbera is local to tropical areas of South America, Africa and Asia. Gerbera species bear a substantial capitulum with striking, two-lipped beam florets in yellow, orange, white, pink or red hues. The capitulum, which resembles a solitary bloom, is really made out of several individual blossoms. The morphology of the blooms fluctuates relying upon their situation in the capitulum. The blossom heads can be as little as 7 cm (Gerbera smaller than normal 'Harley') in width or up to 12 cm (Gerbera 'Brilliant Serena').
Arabian Camel (Camelus dromedarius)
The dromedary, likewise called the Arabian camel (Camelus dromedarius), is a huge, even-toed ungulate with one protuberance on its back. The dromedary is the tallest of the three types of camel; grown-up guys stand 1.8– 2 m (5.9– 6.6 ft) at the shoulder, while females are 1.7– 1.9 m (5.6– 6.2 ft) tall. Guys regularly weigh somewhere in the range of 400 and 600 kg (880 and 1,320 lb), and females weigh somewhere in the range of 300 and 540 kg (660 and 1,190 lb). The species' particular highlights incorporate its since quite a while ago, bended neck, thin chest, a solitary protuberance (contrasted and two on the Bactrian camel and wild Bactrian camel), and long hairs on the throat, shoulders and mound. The coat is commonly a shade of dark colored. The mound, 20 cm (7.9 in) tall or more, is made of fat bound together by sinewy tissue. Dromedaries are basically dynamic amid sunshine hours. They structure crowds of around 20 people, which are driven by a predominant male. This camel benefits from foliage and desert vegetation; a few adjustments, for example, the capacity to endure losing over 30% of its all out water content, enable it to flourish in its desert living space. Mating happens every year and tops in the blustery season; females bear a solitary calf following a development of 15 months.

The two firms exchanged comments on Monday after EMC unveiled its new storage virtualisation offering.
The network-based Invista system is EMC's offering for storage-area network virtualisation. It allows administrators to split storage hardware into virtualised systems, rather than be constrained by the hardware limits for each physical unit.
The new version of Invista was touted by EMC as a key component for enterprises that need to manage quickly growing databases or large amounts of shifting data on a network.
IBM, however, saw the news as further proof of what it says is an EMC lineup that is more hype than substance.
"There are companies that simply talk about storage virtualisation like EMC, and then there are companies like IBM that do storage virtualisation," an IBM spokesperson told vnunet.com.
The spokesperson said that while Big Blue has been advancing its virtualisation offerings, EMC has lagged behind. As a result, Invista is simply too little, too late.
"While EMC has been evolving, and evolving, and evolving their storage virtualisation story, IBM has designed, delivered, and continued to enhance our highly reliable, scalable, and robust storage virtualisation solution for years, with thousands of customer installs across the globe," claimed the spokesperson.
When presented with the quotes from IBM, an EMC spokesperson suggested a different scenario.
Not only is EMC not lagging behind Big Blue, the spokesperson claimed, but it is in fact IBM that has been playing follow-the-leader.
The spokesperson noted that several of IBM's acquisitions, including its most recent purchase of Arsenal Digital Solutions, either follow similar acquisitions by EMC or rely on technology from the company.
"IBM has been following EMC's information infrastructure strategy for quite some time," the EMC spokesperson told vnunet.com.
"It seems like IBM is looking at EMC as the prime example of how to do information infrastructure correctly."

Period: December 9, 2019 – January 3, 2020
milk production -3,4%November 2019 y-o-y
Milk production in Australia continues the seasonal decline. During November, milk production was 3.4 percent below November last year.
High heat records were broken in the last weeks in Victoria. Melbourne record temperatures were into the 100° Fahrenheit (38° Celsius). Current milk supplies are being impacted by the current extreme weather conditions.
Australia continues to struggle from a nationwide fire crisis. Wildfires have been burning in various areas for months. The current focal area is Victoria and New South Wales, which areas cover together approximately 78% of Australia’s milk production. It is very uncertain how long the fires will burn, or in which direction they may move in future weeks.
Ongoing drought is pushing feed and irrigation costs higher. The result is continuing disappointing margins for some Australian dairy producers.
New Zealand production volumes are still relatively high. Heavy rains have led to flood waters in some South Island dairy areas, stopping some milk collection. In areas where rain was not excessive, it helped keeping good pasture growth.
There is increasingly voiced concern from agricultural lenders about dairy producer debt. This has led to more conservative lending practices. Mitigating this, more strength in New Zealand farmgate milk prices is expected for the current season.
Market activity in both countries has been quiet during the two-week holiday period.
Dairy Commodities Prices
Butter prices in Oceania moved lower during the first weeks of December, and now are steady. Butter production in Australia is active, while New Zealand dairy manufacturers tend to send milk to WMP rather than butter.
Skim Milk Powder prices moved lower during the first weeks of December and now they are unchanged when uncommitted SMP supplies are unexpectedly available.
This decline was unexpected by many dairy industry professionals in both commodities prices. Global demand remains good.
In Oceania, cheddar prices are unchanged. Demand remains good, especially within Australia.
Whole Milk Powder prices moved lower during the first weeks of December and they have remained unchanged in the last weeks. New Zealand WMP production continues to be active. Extra milk is often channelled to WMP over other dairy products, as current production is needed to build stocks to meet demand when seasonal milk production declines further.
The Global Dairy Trade of January 7 has given a result of +2,8% in the average price of the different commodities. This increase is probably due to the lower availability of milk.

Megan Johnson has set up a Tumblr site to chronicle and snark on some of the tweets coming out of East Boston (note to self: Set up Facebook page to chronicle and snark on some of the Tumblr sites coming out of Eastie).
Live in Eastie!
Yeah, stay out of there. There are no good restaurants and I heard someone got killed there last year.
Does it take me hours to get into Rino's on any given night?
If people actually buy in to the blatant racism and stereotypes, it keeps rent low for me, my neighbors, and the awesome local businesses throughout the neighborhood.
I mean...umm...the tweets being aggregated are totally accurate and everyone should stay away. I hear Southie is real nice now, just keep going there.
Yup -- hopefully it's clear that "no one" lives in Eastie. Not at all suitable place to live.....
And I've heard the 9 and 10 buses are much faster than the Blue Line. And the KO Pies is far better; in South Boston they actually have the common courtesy of protecting all of the tables from the elements (no getting hit with stray cornhole bags). Definitely worth the 50% premium on rent.

Tottenham Hotspur’s transfer window has seen the second free agent sign to join the club. After signing Ivan Perisic to open the summer transfer window, the club announced today that goalkeeper Fraser Forster has joined Spurs on a free transfer after leaving Southampton.
Although, this wasn’t the first transfer signing of the summer for Tottenham, it’s also likely to be among the least consequential in terms of on-pitch impact. Forster (34) is coming as a clear backup to Hugo Lloris, replacing Pierluigi Gollini, who returns to Atalanta after completing his season-long loan. Forster is... well, he’s fine. He’s an experienced Premier League quality keeper (134 starts for Southhampton) who is English and home-grown, and in that role, he helps Spurs significantly by giving Spurs another open slot in European competition for a foreign-born player. That might be just as important as anything he’ll do in the early rounds of the domestic cups or as Hugo’s injury or illness replacement. And considering how good Tottenham’s defense is already if he does have to play a lot maybe there won’t be that many saves to make anyway.
Details of Forster’s contract were not known at the time of his signing. It’s unlikely to be that remarkable.
It’s a rather inauspicious way to begin what promises to be an absolutely bonkers and exciting summer transfer window, but also this is the second free agent signing of the summer with the club making moves early in the window. Hopefully, it’s an indication that Spurs are going to get most of their business done in the first few weeks of the summer window.
Welcome to Tottenham, Fraser Forster!
