text: The CD94 transmembrane-anchored glycoprotein forms disulfide-bonded heterodimers with the NKG2A subunit to form an inhibitory receptor or with the NKG2C or NKG2E subunits to assemble a receptor complex with activating DAP12 signaling proteins. mice To understand the contribution of CD94 receptors to NK cell and T cell functions we generated a CD94-deficient mouse by targeted disruption of exons 3 and 4 of in 129/SvJ Sera cells and backcrossing the null gene into the genome of C57BL/6 mice. Splenocytes from Exatecan mesylate CD94-deficient mice failed to express the CD94-NKG2A CD94-NKG2C or CD94-NKG2E receptors (Fig. 1A). Transgenic manifestation of CD94 in these CD94-deficient mice (designated CD94Tg/- mice) restored manifestation of CD94-NKG2A CD94-NKG2C and CD94-NKG2E (Fig. 1A). Although a MHC class I promoter with an Igμ enhancer drove the CD94 transgene  CD94 was indicated at the highest levels on NKp46+ NK cells (Fig. 1A). Much like B6 mice the majority of the remaining CD94-NKG2-expressing cells from CD94Tg/- mice were NKT cells and T cells (Fig 1A). CD94Tg/- splenocytes did show an increased intensity of CD94 staining as determined by mean fluorescence intensity (MFI) within the NKG2A/C/E- cells as compared to B6 CD94-deficient and 129/SvJ splenocytes (MFI 4433 625 492 and 1013 respectively) (Fig. 1A). NKG2A/C/E manifestation levels as determined by staining with an antibody that Rabbit Polyclonal to FRS3. crossreacts with NKG2A NKG2C and NKG2E were consistently reduced the CD94Tg/- splenocytes (MFI 147) when Exatecan mesylate compared with B6 splenocytes (MFI 213); however the MFI of NKG2A/C/E was related between the CD94Tg/- and 129/SvJ splenocytes (MFI 135) suggesting allelic differences between the B6 and 129/SvJ genes encoding NKG2 receptors might determine the surface density of CD94-NKG2A/C/E (Fig. 1A). Transgenic manifestation of CD94 restored CD94-NKG2 manifestation to approximately half of the NK cells in these mice much like wildtype mice (Fig. 1B). This suggests that manifestation of NKG2A NKG2C or NKG2E not CD94 might be the limiting factor in CD94-NKG2 surface manifestation. Number 1 Splenic CD94-deficient and CD94Tg/- NK cells are phenotypically normal. is located between the Ly49 gene cluster and the NKR-P1 gene cluster in the NK complex (NKC) found on chromosome 6  . B6 and 129/SvJ mice carry different loci and alleles of this genomic cluster with NK cells from B6 mice but not 129/SvJ mice expressing Ly49C Ly49H and NKR-P1C (NK1.1) . NK cells from CD94-deficient mice did not express any of these receptors indicating that despite becoming backcrossed to B6 for 9 decades they retained Exatecan mesylate the NKC of 129/SvJ strain mice at least spanning the regions made up of the NKR-P1 and Ly49 loci (Fig. 1B). CD19- CD122+ NKG2D+ NK cell Exatecan mesylate precursors undergo an orderly development in the bone marrow that can be distinguished based on the expression of the integrins αV (CD51) and DX5 (CD49b) . αV is usually expressed first by NK precursors followed by co-expression of DX5 and finally loss of αV expression. CD94-NKG2 receptors are initially expressed by αV+ DX5- immature NK cells . CD27 and CD11b can also delineate NK cell maturation stages. CD27+CD11blo NK cells are the most immature with CD11b expression increasing as NK cells mature and CD27 is lost around the most mature Exatecan mesylate NK cells . NK cell precursors from CD94-deficient CD94Tg/- and 129/SvJ mice contained comparable frequencies of Exatecan mesylate each these developmental stages indicating that expression of CD94-NKG2 is not necessary for normal NK development (Fig. 1C). The frequency of CD11bhi CD27- mature NK cells was somewhat higher in the B6 mice than any of the other strains suggesting that a factor other than CD94-NKG2 expression may differentially regulate NK cell development in B6 vs. 129/SvJ mice. Frequencies and absolute numbers of splenic NK cells were comparable among B6 CD94-deficient CD94Tg/- and 129/SvJ mice (data not shown). NK cell functions are not altered in CD94-deficient mice Expression of inhibitory receptors for self-MHC class Ia and Ib molecules including the Ly49 receptors and CD94-NKG2A enhances NK cell responsiveness to activation by crosslinking of activating receptors    . To determine whether CD94-deficiency affects NK cell education we stimulated B6 CD94-deficient CD94Tg/- and 129/SvJ NK cells by crosslinking the activating NKp46 receptor. CD94-deficient CD94Tg/- and 129/SvJ NK cells all produced IFN-γ and degranulated at comparable frequencies as measured by CD107a surface staining (Fig. 2A). This indicates that CD94 is not required for NK cell education in NK cells carrying the 129/SvJ NK complex. CD94-deficient CD94Tg/- and 129/SvJ NK cells all produced IFN-γ and degranulated less frequently than B6 NK cells.

Roasted turmeric cauliflower soup with coconut cream
For some reason I never made soup until this autumn, I wonder why. I wasn’t so much into soups but now I have discovered various different recipes and this cold winter season soups are the best thing to warm you up. Plus soups loaded with veggies so full of nutrition too.
When I told my husband I’m making a cauliflower soup he straight away said no :) I said I’ll make it anyway you can give it a try and see and when he did try he honestly liked it.
It’s a beautiful blend of spices like turmeric, cumin and paprika, grilled in the oven until nice and soft and those burnt bits are the ones that gives it that extra smokiness! The coconut cream gives it such a smooth texture, so rich and creamy and it sobers the spices down a little, otherwise it makes it a bit harsh. I did taste the soup before adding the coconut cream and it was a little harsh, adding the coconut cream makes it milder yet a rich soup.
If you are looking for soups this season I have a gorgeous Roasted red peppers and vine tomatoes soup and also a Maple pumpkin roasted soup, both are loved at home. I also have an Italian Minestrone soup which is loaded with veggies and beans, great one if you want to add those left over veggies.
You can mix and match the spices if you like, if you want it more spicy feel free to add chilli powder instead of paprika. I kept it mild because it was for my five year old too.
I added a drizzle of Chilli oil, inspired by the lovely Frances from The Honest Project, where she shared Roast-Cauliflower-cannellini bean soup recipe drizzled chilli oil, I just loved the sound of it, So I just had to try it too and it was worth it! I connected with Frances over Instagram, she and I have been in touch with each other only through Instagram, but it's funny how it feels like as if we have met before. She is such a lovely, down to earth and honest person. Her blog is full of delicious recipes and inspiration that is not only about food, but also book recommendations and lifestyle. Hopefully we will get to meet in person someday. :)
I hope you enjoy this soup on a cold wintery night. Serve it with crusty bread and it’s a satisfying, warm, satisfying and fulfilling meal.
I used my Froothie Optimum Air Vac2 to make this soup.

Hello! Another Japanese restaurant that I've been visited, this place called Shuchan (next to Bakmi Aloi). Then don't judge! I just have a bit obsession on trying every single restaurant in Pantai Indah Kapuk. But I suggested to you, it's better to visit Pantai Indah Kapuk on weekdays, because weekend is too crowd to enjoy your day, haha.
Have you ever heard before about Shuchan? Maybe the restaurant was founded by the group of Japanese, because when I came here, there was a manager and also a chef who came from Japan. I think Japan really keeping quality. All equipment used there comes from Japan. I'm not saying it's a bad thing, but it all can affect the price, and the price of food here is really quite expensive.
And I visited here on Friday, for having lunch with my office team. Wanna know what we've order? Here we go!
Porky are always the best!
Hiroshima Modern (IDR 58.000), it was noodles and shredded cabbage that was put on a sheet (like a kebab skin, thick enough) with slices of pork on top and then coated with egg.
Okonomiyaki (IDR 59.000), it looks like a Hiroshima Modern, but the difference : this menu was cooked directly in front of us and coated by the egg to the top and bottom. Oh ya, the price is for two toppings and IDR 53.000 if you want for one topping only. Yummy!
Tonpei (IDR 58.000), one of a Teppanyaki menu - it was fried pork wrapped with egg. This is the best pork ever! I think you should order this menu when you visited Shuchan! Recommended!

OKLAHOMA CITY (KFOR) – Oklahoma Natural Gas is providing tips on how residential customers can conserve energy and prevent carbon monoxide poisoning as the winter storm’s historically low temperatures cause an increase in natural gas use.
The Oklahoma Natural Gas website addressed the gas usage by businesses, manufacturing plants and residences as winter storm conditions impact the area.
The historically low temperatures are causing a spike in natural gas use and therefore a significant surge in natural gas market prices. Customers’ gas bills will, as a result, be higher.
“Due to the unprecedented, historically low temperatures for an extended period, we are seeing much higher natural gas use and a significant surge in natural gas market prices. While we do not markup the price of natural gas, these events will have an impact on customer bills. At this time, we cannot quantify what the impact will be,” the website states.
ONG provided residential customers the following tips for conserving their gas energy use:
- Keep warm, not hot : When possible wear additional layers of clothing, consider turning down your thermostat and check your programmable settings.
- Seal leaks around doors and windows: Apply weatherstripping or caulk to seal gaps and cracks around windows and doors to stop air leaks and prevent energy loss. If that is not an option, you can also cover windows with towels, sheets or plastic to help keep the warm air in your house.
- Reduce the temperature on your water heater: Set the temperature on your water heater to 120 degrees Fahrenheit or put it on the “warm” setting. If your home will be vacant for two days or more, set the dial to the pilot position for even more savings.
- Close blinds and curtains: This helps keep warm air inside, especially if the sun is not shining.
- Change or clean filters: A clean filter on your furnace can lower your energy consumption by 5% to 15%. Dirty filters cost more to use and overwork the equipment.
- Hold off on doing chores: Doing laundry and washing dishes can both use natural gas to heat the water and your dryer. If you can, wait until the extreme cold weather passes to complete these activities. If you cannot wait, use the cold setting where possible.
- Install foam gaskets on electrical switches and outlets: Electrical switches and outlets can account for up to 10% of your home’s energy loss.
The website also provided the following safety tips for using natural gas energy:
- Never use your stove or oven for home heating.
- Make sure nothing obstructs a furnace’s air intake and that vents and flues are intact and unblocked to avoid the potential of carbon monoxide poisoning.
- When removing ice and snow in the vicinity of meters, vents or flues, do so carefully so as not to cause damage.
- Leave cabinet doors open, especially those on exterior walls, to reduce the risk of frozen pipes.
- Call if you smell a natural gas odor, leave the area immediately and then call 911 and 800-458-4251.
The website warns carbon monoxide can be produced by a natural gas appliance that is not operating efficiently or vented properly
“Carbon monoxide, also called CO, is an odorless, colorless and tasteless gas that can make you sick and, in some circumstances, may be deadly. Carbon monoxide is created by the incomplete or improper burning of fuel,” the news release states.
Symptoms of carbon monoxide poisoning are usually recognized by the following:
- Yellow flame instead of a blue flame on appliance burners
- Black soot around vents, flues, furnace filters, burners or appliance access openings
- Headache, dizziness, ringing in the ears, fatigue, increased perspiration, nausea, weakness and vomiting
Here are some tips to prevent carbon monoxide:
- Install and maintain a carbon monoxide detector, available at most retail and hardware stores.
- Pay attention to the color of the flame on your natural gas appliances – a yellow flame instead of a blue flame is a potential warning sign that the appliance is not operating or venting properly.
- Never use a natural gas range or outdoor space heater to heat your home.
- Check for proper ventilation of your appliances and chimney flues.
- Maintenance is key! Clean or replace your furnace filters regularly and have a qualified contractor inspect your heating equipment and natural gas appliances annually.
Immediately leave the building you are in and get outside to fresh air if you suspect carbon monoxide poisoning. Then call 911 or call your local fire or police department and, if necessary, request medical assistance.
- Do not re-enter the building until it has been determined safe by emergency response personnel.
- Immediately seek medical assistance for any symptoms, even those you think are minor.
ONG officials ask that businesses and manufacturing plants across the state reduce their gas usage to the lowest safe operating level.
The website says ONG continuously monitors its pipeline systems and has additional staff working through the weekend and through the duration of the winter storm.

Most of the time it isn’t newsworthy when someone hires an attorney in our nation’s capital. Especially in today’s legalistic and sue-happy society. However, when a well-known official in the Obama Administration decides to ‘lawyer up’ with a well-respected criminal defense attorney, it’s a notable exception.
This legal eagle is a veteran and one of the best attorneys for politicians involved in ethics ‘challenges.’ He was Bill Clinton’s attorney during the Whitewater investigation and the Monica Lewinsky scandal… represented Rahm Emanuel during the case involving former Illinois Governor Rod Blagojevich… worked for Clinton cabinet members Federico Pena and Alexis Herman during their corruption probes… plus Senator Kent Conrad (D-N.D.) and George W. Bush’s political director Sara Taylor when they were involved in scandals.
His name is Neil Eggleston — and you won’t believe who hired him.
Is it former IRS Commissioner Lois Lerner? Nope.
Secretary of State John Kerry? Not this time.
Recently embattled Veterans Administration Director Eric Shinseki? Wrong again.
It’s none other than the Commander-In-Chief himself, Barack Hussein Obama, who hired Eggleston as White House Counsel last month.
The White House Dossier reports: “Eggleston is the kind of guy you go to when someone tells you, ‘time to lawyer up’… is Obama looking for more protection for the White House from the various GOP Congressional probes, or is he aware of the possibility that something much, much worse could break?”
Obama could be concerned about both scenarios. House Government Oversight and Government Reform Committee Chair Darrell Issa (R-California) said that House Republicans have run out of patience with the President, and that more criminal charges are on the way. On May 7, Ted Cruz released a list of 76 lawless actions and abuses of power by the Obama Adminstration.
What do you think will happen to the President before he leaves office? Feel free to share your comments below.

Alli Arjuna is 2002 Tamil drama film directed by Saran. The film featured Karan, Manoj Bharathiraja, Dhamu, Charle, Richa Pallod, Vinu Chakravarthy and Jai Ganesh in the lead roles. Music was by A. R. Rahman.
Arivazhagan (Manoj. K. Bharathi) is from Chennai and has grown up to be a good-for-nothing fellow because of the neglect and ill-treatment by the hands of his parents (Jaiganesh and Fathima Babu). His only aim in life is to be an irritant to his father. The entire family attends the marriage of Savitri (Richa) in Bangalore, and when the groom disappears, Arivu offers to take his place. The marriage never happens, but Savitri shows up at Arivu's house later, asking him to give her refuge. When he moves out of the house to take up residence with his friends, she follows him there too. Initially irritated by her, Arivu realises that he is gradually falling in love with her.
Meanwhile, the friends learn that Savitri left her own surroundings just to get over the gruesome suicide of her close friend Nisha (Preetha), a victim of eve teasing. Here comes Nisha's brother Kishore (Karan), who is still haunted by her death, and he promises to seek revenge from the person who was the cause of his sister's death. One day, Arivu proposes to Savitri that he sincerely loves her, but she rejects him telling that she looked at him only as a best friend, and that can't be mistaken as love. Unfortunately, Arivu lands up in Kishore's house when he follows Savitri, and is shocked to know that Nisha is Kishore's deceased sister. The reason he became shocked is he was responsible for her death and cries in burst. But Kishore doesn't know this and advises Arivu to succeed in his love towards Savitri. He send drops him but Arivu's former enemy Kumar (Mahanadhi Shankar) tells Kishore that he is his sister's eve-teaser. Hence Kishore chases Arivu and beats him mercilessly with rage. Savitri and her parents intervene the fight and Arivu is forgiven and saved. The film hence ends with a sad note that Arivu is not united with Savitri.

Another Fat Cat At Risk Of Getting Cat Diabetes
A few weeks ago we featured Meow an overweight cat that had been brought into an animal sanctuary because its owner could no longer keep him and we have now heard of another fat cat at risk of getting cat diabetes. Unfortunately Meow died a few weeks later, however, a cat called Garfield who weighed in at 40lbs appears to be faring a little better on his diet. He was brought in to a sanctuary in new York because his owner had passed away.
“Proving fat cats aren’t just in Washington, a 40-lb. kitty named Garfield was recently brought to an animal rescue shelter in New York.
Staff at the North Shore Animal League America in Port Washington, N.Y., said they were “immediately smitten” with the tubby tabby when it was brought in May 31 after its caregiver died.
But the larger-than-life feline, which is currently in a foster home, could suffer a number of health issues, the animal rescue’s vice-president, Mark Verdino, said in a release.
“People often think that an obese animal is not in physical danger, but nothing could be further from the truth,” Verdino said. “Just like with humans, too much weight can cause serious health problems. It leads to diabetes, heart disease, joint, bone and ligament damage, high blood pressure, intolerance to heat and more.”
He also noted cats only eat what they’re given, so if a cat is obese, it’s because it’s being fed too much.
Staff have been monitoring Garfield’s food intake and he’s already lost five pounds.”
The second to last sentence says it all really. It’s not the cats fault that it is fat. The cat is obese because it’s being fed too much, and I would add probably being fed the wrong food as well. If you read previous posts about diet and cat diabetes, you will realise that cat obesity, as in humans, is a precursor to a host of illnesses, including cat diabetes. So to prevent your cat from becoming another fat cat at risk of getting cat diabetes, always stay away from dry food and feed your cat a high protein, low carbohydrate diet, that is as close to nature as possible.

Apr 14, 2022 - Following Apple's "Switch to iOS" app, which launched in 2015.


Spring Summer 22 deploys its charms in a wide range of tactile, familiar or foreign sensations. Materials are invitingly caressing, yielding to the touch and masterfully combining softness and freshness. The feel of these lively transparencies, shivering surfaces and slippery fluidities triggers an emotional response. Sunny and refreshing fabrics, leather and accessories flirt with fun-loving and relaxed fashions that delicately transgress established style codes.
Easing into elegance, and curling up in a sensual fluidity, a seductive comfort, to experience on a daily basis. Blurring the lines between indoor and outdoor wear, gracefully accompanying the body, in both womenswear and menswear. Slipping into opulent artificial or synthetic suitings, with smooth, softly lustrous surfaces. The thrill of meltingly soft and fine leathers, ready to be draped directly on the body.
Reveal it all! The yarns, the weaves, the uneven little bumps, the wavelets in creponned textiles, the patterns traced in filigree… even the industrial processes! Flirt with the weightlessness of smooth transparencies and sport knits, refined right down to their membranes’ handles, to follow the body like a second skin. Layering, multiplying, gathering, without adding any weight, to wrap up in air and color. In accessories, giving in to the temptation of ruching and flounces; and wraping components in a textile or plastic transparency.
Opting for materials with highly tactile properties, fresh thicknesses to sink your hands into. Reveling in foamy terries, oh-so-soft bumpy tweeds, and fine summery furs. Playing with the cheery spring of crepes and gimped yarns, the liveliness of shivering voiles. Grabbing on to the air that fills weaves and knits, delightfully toying with the fancy yarns and ribbons that escape from tangled weaves and fancy embroideries.
Like light-sensitive surfaces, casual cottons and silks are softly paled, and colors fluctuate, conveying a subtle imperfection. Color scrapings move into synthetics. Stripes and checks fade into white, and intermittently disappear. Partially erased motifs and light bleachings evoke the faint memory of patterns. Emerisings and sueded skins retain a sunnily bright luminosity. Nubucks expose the whiteness of their finely sanded grain.
50 shades of green… in all sectors, with just-right and appealing product proposals. All types of recyclings, sustainable dyes, waterless silkies, metal-free skins. With the possibility of more. Revealing laces and embroideries with a dash of humor, suggestive transparencies, attractive shines, sexy stretch and a loquacious fluidity, in leathers and fabrics.

Rental assistance available for more Mississippians
Published 4:35 pm Monday, March 29, 2021
Over $186 million in rental and utility assistance is available for Mississippians affected by COVID-19 from the Rental Assistance for Mississippians Program.
Mississippi received $200 million from the U.S. Department of Treasury’s Federal Emergency Rental Assistance Program. The Governor directed $186 million to be administered by the Mississippi Home Corporation.
State residents can get up to 15 months of rental and utility assistance to make their payments current. Applications are already available online at ms-ramp.com. People are eligible for assistance beginning from the time they were first impacted by a job loss or significant cost incurred due to COVID as far back as March 2020, said Director Scott Spivey in a press conference Monday.
Assistance is not available for telephone, cable or internet bills, but is available for utilities like water, electricity, sewer or trash collection.
The payments are made directly to landlords or eligible service providers. Residents who are at or below 50 percent of the median income for an area will be prioritized, said Spivey. The landlord or tenant can start an application for assistance online at ms-ramp.com. An application cannot be completed without the tenant, although landlords can start an application on behalf of tenants they believe are eligible.
To be eligible at least one person in the household must qualify for unemployment or have experienced a reduction in household income, incurred significant costs or experienced financial hardship due to COVID-19; demonstrate a risk of housing instability or homelessness; and have a household income below 80 percent of the area median.
To be eligible for the ERA program, the person must make 80 percent or less of the area’s median income. According to the RAMP website, in Pearl River County, ERA maximum income eligibility requirements are as follows: one person household, $33,800; 2 person, $38,600; three person $43,450; four person, $48,250; five person $52,150; six person $56,000; seven person, $59,850; and eight person, $63,700.
There is also an existing separate rental assistance program, the RAMP Emergency Solutions Grant, specifically for people experiencing homelessness or in need of immediate shelter, which has some funding from the CARES Act.
According to the RAMP website, for the RAMP ESG program a person is eligible if they make below 50 percent of the median income for an area. In Pearl River County maximum income eligibility requirements are as follows: one person household, $21,150; two person, $24,150; three person, $27,150; four person, $30, 150; five person, $32,600; six person, $35,000; seven person, $37,400; and eight person household, $39,800.
Hinds and Harrison Counties applied for their own funds, so Harrison County already has its own county program and Hinds is working on putting together its own program, said Spivey.
“We understand that both landlords and tenants have been tried during this time and we want to help them as much as we can with this money,” said Spivey.
For more information on the program, visit ms-ramp.com or call 601-533-8401 or 1-888-725-0063. People without internet access are encouraged to call for assistance with their application.

Commack Eateries Take ‘Tremendous’ Hit from Sandy
More than three weeks after Hurricane Sandy, power has been restored to most of Commack's residents and businesses. While residents are attempted to resume life as usual, many local restaurants and eateries are trying to overcome what some described as 'tremendous' blow.
"We lost all the food we had in refrigeration, we lost all of our business for four days" said Peter Georgatos, owner of Premier Diner.
Wall Catches Fire in Hidden Ponds Home
Firefighters from the Smithtown, Hauppauge and Nesconset fire departments rushed to extinguish a house fire in the Hidden Ponds gated community Wednesday morning.
Eateries Suffer Irreparable Losses from Power Outages
Businesses are back to operating regularly now that power has been restored in Smithtown after Hurricane Sandy, but the two weeks without it caused irreparable damage to some, specifically in the food industry.
"We emptied out our whole store, there was nothing left," said Frank Mannino, owner of Mannino’s on Main Street.
Not all was negative with the monetary and product losses many these businesses suffered as the business owners said being able to serve customers strengthened many bonds with the locals not able to make warm meals or enjoy dessert at home.
“It was like a big party and everyone was happy to eating something that made them feel good,” said Ellen Bedziner, owner of Yogurtini. “It got people's minds off of what was going on around them.”


ARSENAL chief executive Vinai Venkatesham has sent an email to all the club's staff in which he called for everyone to bounce back after a 'hugely disappointing start' to the season.
The Gunners have lost their first three games of the Premier League campaign, conceding nine goals and failing to score.
The dreadful early run has left them rock bottom of the table amid growing pressure on Arsenal boss Mikel Arteta - but he has received backing in the form of transfer funds, with the club topping the charts as the biggest spenders in the Premier League this summer.
And Venkatesham wants them to build on that by turning things around on the pitch.
In an email obtained by the Evening Standard, he said: “Of course, I write this update against the backdrop of a hugely disappointing start to the season.
"I know how tough this is for all of you, both as supporters and employees, with criticism coming from all angles.
“At times like this it is critical we stick together and stay positive. We have a very important run of games coming up after the international break and I’m confident we can and will come out fighting.”
He added: “Our approach for this window was framed by fully recognising that we are not where we want to be on the pitch — finishing eighth last season, with no European football for the first time in many years.

“This is well below the standards each of us all have, and of course that our fans rightly demand of us, which is to be competing for the biggest trophies in the game.
“Whilst we would love to jump from where we are to where we want to be in an instant, we need to be realistic that the gap is too large to do that. As such, our activity this window has been focused on youth.
“Our strategy is to fill our squad with some of Europe’s most exciting young talent, with players from both our academy and further afield, that can grow and develop together under Mikel to take us where we want to get to.
“Whilst this will not be overnight, we can make positive progress, and it gives us the best route to future success in a sustainable way.”
Venkatesham then finished by praising the investment in this transfer window despite many criticising them for spending big money on squad players and young talent for the future.
He said: “Although Covid and no European football bring financial challenges, our owners, Stan and Josh Kroenke, have sanctioned very significant investment this transfer window in support of our strategy.
“This has included signing Nuno Tavares (21), Ben White (23), Sambi Lokonga (21), Martin Odegaard (22), Aaron Ramsdale (23) and Takehiro Tomiyasu (22), as well as renewing deals with Emile Smith-Rowe (21) and Kieran Tierney (24).
“All of these players are signed on long-term contracts.”
The next few games after the international break could prove crucial for Arsenal and Arteta.

PUPILS at Newington School have received national acclaim for their reading skills.Class 4A youngsters at the Annan primary have won the Pupil Reading Journey Award in the First Minister’s Reading Challenge organised in conjunction with the Scottish Book Trust.
Guided by class teacher Mrs Swan the eight to nine-year-olds were involved in many different reading activities both in school and at home through the many months of Covid-19 disruption.
The initiative open to schools, libraries and communities provided learning resources and other support to help encourage a love of reading, which can have a significant impact on pupils’ future education and wellbeing.
The class school reading journey submission impressed the judges and the Newington success was announced on Wednesday.
Newington head teacher Irvine Torbett said: “We are delighted that our Primary 4 children have won this award.
“They have been on a reading journey during a very different school year. They were in an ever-changing situation but they kept reading.
“For many of the children it has shown them how much pleasure they can get from reading and also how they can use reading as a way to make them feel good.”
Amongst the first to congratulate pupils and staff on the award was Dumfriesshire constituency MSP Oliver Mundell, who was invited to give a short talk to the pupils in the school’s outdoors learning facility.
He praised the efforts of everyone involved and said he was impressed by the wide range of reading the pupils were enjoying.
Mr Mundell, his party’s Shadow Cabinet Secretary for Education, added: “The Newington pupils are enthusiastically engaged in reading, something they really enjoy and benefit from. The award reflects great credit on the young people, their teacher and everyone else involved at the school and at home.”

Mitt Romney's family influential in Paul Ryan VP pick despite skeptical campaign advisors
Amanda Lucier, Associated Press
Our take: Mitt Romney's family was very influential in his decision to choose Paul Ryan as running mate. McKay Coppins at Buzzfeed explains what role Romney's family plays in his presidential campaign.
When Mitt Romney began seriously considering Rep. Paul Ryan as his running mate earlier this summer, many of the political professionals who staff his Boston headquarters were skeptical. They realized the political liabilities posed by Ryan's controversial budget. They worried that his status as a Capitol Hill mainstay would undermine the candidate's Washington outsider image. And they recognized that adding a bold conservative visionary to the ticket could well kill any notion that this election was a referendum on President Obama.
But while Romney's staff had their doubts, the Congressman had the support of a separate, and increasingly influential set of advisers who have long had the candidate's ear: His wife and five sons.

Halle Berry made history as the first Black woman to take home the award from Best Actress for her work in Monster’s Ball in 2002. However, the historic win didn’t move the needle.
Berry memorably delivered an emotional acceptance speech but she was surprised about the after effect.
“It was surprising. Because I thought they were going to just back up the truck and drop [the job offers] off at my house, right? When you have a historic win like that, you think, ‘Oh, this is going to fundamentally change.’ It did fundamentally change me, but it didn’t change my place in the business overnight. I still had to go back to work. I still had to try to fight to make a way out of no way,” she told Entertainment Weekly.
Halle Berry added that she took on roles that she didn’t love because the rent still had to get paid. “It’s like, okay, that’s a film I can’t say I’m totally in love with, but this isn’t a hobby. It’s how I take care of my children. But I try to keep that sense of wonder and stay curious. Because being a Black woman, I haven’t always had parts that I absolutely love.”
But she seems to be doing a lot more passionate work with the upcoming release of the MMA movie, Bruised, which marks her directorial debut.
The actress shared that she broke two of her ribs on the first day of filming the movie. Stunt coordinator Eric Brown told the outlet that it was a major injury.
“I told the director about it, they told the insurance. We had to shut down for months and it was a big ordeal,” Berry said. “On this, because it was an independent movie, we didn’t have a big budget. The director in me said, ‘I didn’t come this far and work this hard to go home.’ “

This home was purchased from the bank as a foreclosure. It is currently a 3 bedroom, 2 bathroom home with an illegal addition. The addition cannot currently be accessed from the main house. It was built as an efficiency apartment for additional income. The two issues are that the addition was not done with permits and an efficiency apartment is not allowed in this residential neighborhood in Plantation, FL.
The investor that purchased the home (financed by my company) should not have a problem getting the addition approved. The challenge is breaking through the wall in an appropriate spot to make it seem like the addition was supposed to be there all along. An engineer has been hired to draw up the plans for submission to the City of Plantation. If the city approves of the design, this home will be turned into a beautiful 4 bedroom, 3 bathroom home with a brand new kitchen and updated bathrooms. This home also has a great laundry room, Florida room, and 2 car garage and will be over 2200 square feet when all is said and done. The value of the home will increase substantially with the additional square footage and the renovation. The key now is to get all of this done in a timely fashion. We hope to have this home on the market in late Spring 2012 for $225,000 to $250,000. Appraisals are always a challenge in this market.

Abraham Bomberg immigrated to Whitechapel in London to escape the Russian and Polish pogroms of the 1880s. The pogroms were large scaled repeated Anti-Jewish riots and attacks that targeted the Jewish population in the Russian Empire after the empire had been expanded to include areas from the Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth and Ukraine.
The Bomberg family were Polish-Jews and started a new life in Great Britain. First they settled in Whitechapel, but after some time the growing family was forced to move around Great Britain for a while in search of better paid work. It was during this time, in 1890, that David Bomberg was born in Birmingham. In 1895 the family that would eventually consist of eleven children altogether moved back to London’s East End finally settling in Whitechapel.
The area was largely Jewish at the time and the Bomberg children grew up as Orthodox Jews. David Bomberg lived with his family until shortly after the death of his mother in 1912.
Bomberg’s family history is one of migration and for some time, a constant travelling from place to place. The first major move from the Russian Empire to London followed by the movement around Great Britain before ultimately returning to Whitechapel in London and settling there.
Bomberg’s later life was also characterised by migration and moving from place to place. Some of his first international experiences were in France during World War I. This experience had a massive impact on Bomberg and his works changed drastically following the war. After this, Bomberg relocated a number of times within the UK and internationally. First, he moved to Alton, Hampshire for a two year time period, after which he travelled to Palestine for four years. After spending years painting in Palestine, Bomberg returned to London in 1927. In 1933, he visited Russia for six months followed by a yearlong stay in various parts of Spain. Again he returned to London, before moving to a cottage in Essex. In 1954, Bomberg moved to Ronda in Spain and lived there until his death in 1957. All this was intersected by shorter trips around Great Britain and international trips, primarily to mainland Europe, such as Paris and Switzerland, but also to the islands of Greece and Cyprus and going to Morocco in North Africa.
Most of these international stays and trips were painting expeditions and his work was directly influenced by his time spent in these places. Other than motives, his painting techniques were influenced by his time in other countries. Before the war, cubism, futurism, and the vorticist movement heavily influenced him. After the war, his paintings became more representational and rounded. During his time in Palestine, Bomberg turned to landscape painting and during his prolonged time in Spain, his style became more vigorous and with looser brush strokes.
Migration to and from Britain shaped Bomberg’s upbringing and continued in his own life.
We are looking forward to working with artist Penny Ryan, King’s College London and the Migration Museum in Lambeth on the Moving Hearts project where we will be hosting one of many workshops throughout London.

Gene Expression of an Arthrobacter in Surfactant-Enhanced Biodegradation of a Hydrophobic Organic Compound
2015-03-17T00:00:00Z (GMT) by
Surfactants can affect the biodegradation process and the fate of hydrophobic organic compounds (HOCs) in the environment. Previous studies have shown that surfactants can enhance the biodegradation of HOCs by increasing cell surface hydrophobicity (CSH) and membrane fluidity. In this study, we took this work one step further by investigating the expression levels of three genes of Arthrobacter sp. SA02 in the biodegradation of phenanthrene as a typical HOC at different concentrations of sodium dodecyl benzenesulfonate (SDBS), which is a widely used surfactant. The Δ9 fatty acid desaturase gene codes for Δ9 fatty acid desaturase, which can convert saturated fatty acid to its unsaturated form. The ring-hydroxylating dioxygenase (RHDase) and the 1-hydroxyl-2-naphthoate dioxygenase (1H2Nase) genes code for the RHDase and 1H2Nase enzymes, respectively, which play a key role in decomposing doubly hydroxylated aromatic compounds. The results show that these three genes were upregulated in the presence of SDBS. On the basis of the genetic and physiological changes, we proposed a pathway that links the gene expression with the physiological phenomena, including CSH, membrane fluidity, and intracellular degradation. This study advances our understanding of the surfactant-enhanced biodegradation of HOCs at the gene level, and the proposed pathway should be further validated in the future.

Guangzhou is where Cantonese food originated from, and it what the rest of the world most often than not refers to as ‘Canton’. Most travellers to mainland China will find themselves arriving at this gargantuan city that is painted in neon and smattered with towers that glisten by day and sparkle by night. With neighbouring Hong Kong by its side, Guangzhou has latched on to consumerism and a passion for entertainment. Yet beneath all the haze of glitter and glamour there lies a past that still remains in its churches, temples and the beautiful Shamian Island. In the back lanes of the city you may find mansions, temples and gardens that have remained the same for centuries. Just about any type of traveller will be allured by the charm of this metropolis. Guangzhou accommodation is plentiful, shopping is endless and dining is simply divine.
There is something so quaint and humbling when you behold a Chinese temple. And one such example is the Temple of Six Banyan Trees on Liurong Road. The tiered roofs and ornate detailing is simply masterful, and truly a work of art. With a history of over 1,400 years, this tourist attraction in Guangzhou is a wonderful place to explore the culture of Buddhism. Previously called by other names, the temple remains a spiritual place that believers and tourists frequent. It was an acclaimed calligrapher who visited the temple and saw six beautiful banyan trees and was inspired to inscribe ‘six banyans’ for the then abbot of the temple. The temple was re-named after this incident, and has always remained in the heart of the Guangzhou people.
There is much to explore in the Temple of the Six Banyan Trees, from relics and stone tablets containing the actual inscription of the famous calligrapher. A large laughing Buddha statue will greet you as you enter, whilst a pagoda with its tiered roofs soars in to the sky. Legend and stories also surround the temple and there is much a tourist or visitor can expect to find.
Looking for Guangzhou long stay accommodation? Springdale Serviced Residence is a popular choice of those looking for Guangzhou serviced apartments. Offering quick links to entertainment, shopping and restaurants, Springdale Serviced Residence offers a refreshing change from reserving an average hotel room.

Several politicians, archaeologists and officials are contending for the role of director-general of the Israel Antiquities Authority.
However, sources familiar with the subject told Haaretz politics will determine the identity of the new antiquities chief to replace Shuka Dorfman, who died 10 days ago.
The short list of candidates reportedly includes MK Yisrael Hasson (Kadima), former minister Effie Eitam, head of the National Heritage Program in the Prime Minister’s Office Reuven Pinsky, Deputy IAA director general Dr. Uzi Dahari and Jerusalem District Archaeologist Dr. Yuval Baruch.
Eitam, who heads an oil company set to drill in the Golan, denied his candidacy. Hasson said he was asked to contend and did not object.
After Dorfman’s death it transpired there was no legal procedure for appointing a successor. Culture Minister Limor Livnat, whose ministry is in charge of the authority, last week issued new regulations stipulating she is the one to decide on the new antiquities director-general.
The Israel Antiquities council, however, wants to have more influence in the process and is demanding that the committee appointed to select the new director-general consist of at least one archaeologist and three council members. The council also insists that the new director has an advanced academic degree, preferably in archaeology or Land of Israel studies.
Senior archaeologists and council members blasted the process initiated by Livnat and said the candidate must be an archaeologist. “Shuka was the exception that proves the rule," one archaeologist said. "The heads of antiquity divisions are professionals all over the world.”
According to the law, the antiquities director is empowered to set Israel’s archaeological policy, weighing real estate development interests versus preservation as well as numerous political issues.
The rightist organization Elad, which is involved in populating East Jerusalem’s Silwan neighborhood with Jews, has become one of the most active archaeological bodies in the country. Other rightist organizations have also displayed an interest in archaeology in recent years and the next Antiquities Authority chief will have to determine the policy regarding these bodies.
Minister Livnat’s office commented, “The allegations are groundless and indicate mainly a complete misunderstanding of the issue and unfamiliarity with the law.”
Her office's official statement read: “According to the law, the council will appoint a candidate according to the minister’s proposal. It is the minister’s authority to propose a candidate and to decide on the composition of the selection committee. Any attempt to attribute a political affiliation or motive to the procedure is wild slander bordering on libel."
The statement added, "The procedure stipulates the requirements of the candidates according to the law. In addition, the selection committee is permitted to set additional qualifications.”

Bank of Leeton acquired by Sunflower Bank
For more information, contact us by e-mail or 573-751-2652.
Jefferson City, Mo. - The Missouri Division of Finance today accepted possession of Bank of Leeton in Johnson County. The Federal Deposit Insurance Corp. (FDIC) was immediately appointed as receiver of the bank, which was then sold to Sunflower Bank, N.A., a $1.7 billion national bank headquartered in Salina, Kan.
Lobby and drive-up services at the bank's sole location, 101 East Stone St., Leeton, will resume on Saturday, Jan. 23, at 8:00 a.m. Depositors of Bank of Leeton will automatically become depositors of Sunflower Bank, and continue to have full access to their money by writing checks or using ATM or debit cards. Checks drawn on the bank will continue to be processed, and loan customers should continue to make their payments as usual. Depositors will continue to be insured by the FDIC and there will be no interruption of service to customers of the former Bank of Leeton.
Commissioner of Finance Richard J. Weaver said, "The demise of the bank was due to aggressive risk selection by management with loan losses being more than the bank could support. The bank has operated under close regulatory scrutiny since 2008."
Weaver said despite attempts by ownership to sell the bank or procure additional capital, efforts proved unsuccessful and as a result, the bank's board of directors voted to turn the bank over to the Division of Finance as allowed by state law. Assets of the bank totaled $20 million as of Dec. 31, 2009.
Customers who have questions about today's transaction can call the FDIC toll free at 1-800-523-8209. The phone number will be operational this evening until 9 p.m.; on Saturday from 9:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m.; on Sunday from noon to 6:00 p.m.; and thereafter from 8:00 a.m. to 8:00 p.m.

Divorce is an emotionally devastating and painful experience that can leave one feeling alone, lost, and hopeless. The confusion, stress, and sense of loss that come with divorce can make an individual feel powerless and devoid of purpose. Fortunately, faith-based support can provide a foundation of hope and strength that can make the difference between sinking in the sea of divorce or swimming towards a better future.
When one is going through a divorce, their faith may become shaken, and this is where faith-based support comes into play. Faith-based support can offer spiritual guidance, counseling, and a support system as one navigates through the tough journey of divorce. Research indicates that individuals who seek faith-based support during and after a divorce experience greater emotional and psychological well-being. Here are some ways that faith-based support can help:
Provides a Sense of Belonging
While divorce can lead to feelings of isolation and loneliness, faith-based support groups offer a community of understanding individuals who share similar faith values. Joining a support group can create a sense of belonging, helping individuals feel less alone and more connected to others who have gone through or are going through a similar experience.
Offers a Safe Space for Emotional Release
Faith-based support groups provide a safe space for individuals to express and release their emotions without any fear of judgment or condemnation. These groups offer a supportive network that allows individuals to share their experiences, feelings, and struggles without the fear of being stigmatized.
Offers Spiritual Guidance
Divorce can challenge one’s faith and spirituality. Faith-based support can offer spiritual guidance and principles to help individuals navigate through the spiritual challenges of divorce. Faith-based counselors and support groups can offer practical ways to stay committed to faith values, provide insights into Biblical teachings about marriage and divorce, and help individuals find healing and peace in their faith.
Provides Places for Healing and Growth
Divorce can provide an opportunity for individuals to grow and focus on self-care. Faith-based support groups can provide a platform for personal growth, forgiveness, and renewal. Such groups can offer retreats, workshops, and group therapy sessions that focus on healing, forgiveness, and transforming one’s self.
Divorce can be overwhelming and leave one feeling hopeless and powerless. However, faith-based support can provide the strength and hope one needs to navigate through the emotional, psychological, and spiritual challenges of divorce. Through faith-based support, individuals can find a sense of belonging, emotional release, spiritual guidance, and a place for healing and growth. If you are going through a divorce, seek faith-based support, and don’t go through it alone.

Escambia County fire station changes
ESCAMBIA COUNTY -- Some changes may be in the works for Escambia County Fire Rescue crews and the people they serve in Century and McDavid.
McDavid Fire Station on the effort that's aimed at improving the level of service across the North Escambia area.
It's an idea that's currently only in the discussion stages but change would mean a paid Escambia Fire Rescue crew that's currently assigned to Century could be moving into this fire station in McDavid.
Escambia Fire Rescue fire chief Patrick Grace says he's looked at the numbers and they show a paid crew in McDavid could answer about 60 % more calls. The McDavid fire station located on Highway 29 is more centrally located.
A paid firefighter crew there would be dispatched and able to answer calls in Century, Molino and Walnut Hill during the daytime hours when the availability of volunteers is the lowest.
Volunteer firefighters in those areas would still be dispatched and respond to call in their districts.
Chief Grace says the daytime paid fire crew in Century has answered 108 calls during the past year, many of which were in Flomaton. If the crew had been stationed in McDavid, they would have been dispatched on over 160 calls across parts of North Escambia- giving tax payers the biggest bang for their buck.
Century mayor Freddie McCall says he feels robbed and left out and believes the potential change would hurt the people of Century. He says he's meeting with his town's fire chief and some commissioners today to discuss his concerns.
But here's how people in McDavid feel about the possible station switch up.
David Steadahm- "I think it's a very good idea. It would be more centrally located from where it's at now and it would benefit more people."
Lee Jernigan-"All of these communities work together as it is and if Century gets a call, Walnut Hill shows up, McDavid shows up so what's the difference? There is no difference."
