What are the main components of phosphatidylserine powder?
Phosphatidylserine powder is a natural phospholipid that contains both amino acids and fatty acids, including omega-3 and omega-6 essential fatty acids. EPA and DHA work in conjunction with phosphatidylserine to provide the foundation for healthy cell membranes. Our bodies use serine to make phosphatidylserine, a substance that affects the transmission of chemical messages in the brain and helps brain cells store and read data. Phosphatidylserine is an important nutrient for maintaining normal memory, reactions, and healthy mood in the brain. It can be made by the body, but it can also be obtained from food.
The phospholipids that surround all of our cells are the basic molecules that provide cellular structure and protection. As a phospholipid molecule, phosphatidylserine powder is composed of two long-chain fatty acids, a glycerol backbone, and a phospholipid head group. It is a cofactor of many enzymes and is closely related to cellular activity and intercellular, it also seems to be involved in many neuroendocrine reactions. Including the release of acetylcholine, dopamine, and norepinephrine. Phosphatidylserine can be used as a potent antioxidant, especially in iron-catalyzed oxidation reactions.

PORT MOODY/COQUITLAM — The Evergreen Line was high on the priority list for newly-elected Port Moody Mayor Mike Clay on Saturday night.
"That's the No. 1 thing that we have to do," said Clay, the only incumbent councillor in the race to replace outgoing mayor Joe Trasolini. He won the race with 3,154 votes, defeating challengers Robert Simons, at 2,019, and Katie Kickbush, with 321.
The city needs to develop a coherent vision in terms of what form development along the line will take so that someone else's vision doesn't get imposed on Port Moody, Clay said.
But before that can happen, Clay said it is important to do some team building. Port Moody elected three new councillors — Rick Glumac, Zoe Ryder and Rosemary Small — out of a total of six, and Clay said he needs to get a sense of how they fit in and what their priorities are. Port Moody must also hire a new city manager as soon as possible, and a budget is due in the coming weeks, Clay said.
"We have a lot of things to do very quickly with new councillors and a new team."
Clay, 45, runs a technology consulting and Internet company. He has lived in Port Moody all his life and was first elected to council in 2005.
Clay ran on a platform of providing stability in the mayor’s office and a measured approach to development along the Evergreen Line, where he said council should not approve additional density until the infrastructure is in place to support it.
In his platform, Clay said he would try to keep property tax increases to a minimum, but rejected the idea of tying them to inflation. He also pledged to create an economic development office in the city to aid local businesses.
In Coquitlam, the Evergreen Line was also front and centre on the mind of newly re-elected Mayor Richard Stewart, who said he is a big believer in building transit where you want development to be, rather than having to make a rapid transit line accommodate development that is already in place.
"If you do that, you can actually get the development to pay for the transit," he said.
In Coquitlam, the city centre is already set up as a transit hub, even though there is no rapid transit yet, Stewart pointed out. He hopes to see the long-awaited line well underway by the next municipal election in three years' time. He would also like to see a homeless shelter opened in Coquitlam by 2014, and for preparations to host the 2016 B.C. Summer Games, which the city plans to bid for, to be well underway.
Stewart easily defeated Coun. Barrie Lynch for the mayor's seat on Saturday, attracting 10,050 votes to Lynch's 7,591.
In what became a personally charged battle between an incumbent mayor and councillor, the gloves came off early, with Lynch accusing Stewart of failing to provide leadership, neglecting council business to make public appearances and leaving the acting mayor to chair meetings. Stewart responded that he had only missed one meeting to attend a charity function, and that he occasionally asked the acting mayor to chair meetings because he suffers from severe back pain, which became worse after Stewart was hit by a car while campaigning on Nov. 12 and spent two nights in hospital.
Clearly in physical pain on Saturday night, using a cane and a walker to get around at times, Stewart said his first priority is to mend fences in the wake of a nasty campaign.
"The public told me over and over again that they rejected...the nasty. The personal attacks [were] wrong."
Running a positive campaign on the issues was what got him re-elected, Stewart said, adding that he is looking forward to a second mandate because it gives him an opportunity to see projects to fruition.
"The second mandate is when you achieve things. The first mandate is when you fix things," he said.
Coquitlam elected two new councillors, with Craig Hodge and Terry O'Neill replacing Barrie Lynch and Doug Macdonell.
In Port Coquitlam, Mayor Greg Moore was re-elected with 5,827 votes, with runner-up William Issa coming in at 1691. Third-place finisher Patrick Alambets had 310 votes. Port Coquitlam re-elected five out of six incumbent councillors, with Dean Washington replacing Sherry Carroll.
The campaign in Port Coquitlam was "respectful," but Moore said watching the votes come in on Saturday was nevertheless a stressful experience.
"I haven't slept for weeks. I was extremely nervous," he said. "Campaigns are emotional rollercoasters; there are highs, there are lows. And I think now with social media, and real-time reporting, and real-time blogging and tweeting, you get so tied up to what people are saying and your emotions just go with that. It's a very stressful time. I feel good now though."
Voter turnout in the Tri Cities was uniformly low: 27 per cent in Port Moody, 21.7 per cent in Coquitlam and just 18.6 per cent in Port Coquitlam.
In Anmore, Mayor Heather Anderson was re-elected, as were two incumbent councillors, who will be joined by two newcomers.
In Belcarra, Mayor Ralph Drew and the four incumbent councillors were all acclaimed.

BAGHDAD — The blast walls and barbed wire came down. The checkpoints went away.
Fifteen years after it was sealed off, the heavily fortified neighborhood in the heart of Baghdad was opened to the public on Monday.
The neighborhood, known as the Green Zone, had been cordoned off by the American military in 2003 to protect it from bombings during the war. The four-square-mile patch of land contained Saddam Hussein’s palaces, which later housed the headquarters of the American occupation authorities and military, and the Parliament building, the seat of the new Iraqi government.
But its history and isolation made it a potent symbol first of the American occupation and later of the alienation felt by many Iraqis toward their own government, and Iraqi leaders have been promising to reopen it ever since the American military withdrew in 2011.
The reopening came on the first anniversary of Iraq’s recapture of its northern city, Mosul, from the Islamic State group, and officials said it would be a trial opening over the coming two weeks. Traffic was allowed on main thoroughfares but many side roads, where officials live and work, remained closed and government buildings like the Parliament and Mr. Hussein’s old Republican Palace remained under heavy guard.
It was the second time in three years that Iraqi officials declared the Green Zone reopened, and there was no guarantee this reopening would last either. The government reopened it in 2015, for only a few days before closing it again after strong opposition from American officials, whose embassy and military headquarters were inside.
This time, the government has promised the reopening will be permanent.
Last month the government began taking down miles of towering concrete blast walls that surrounded the area, and blocked off many official buildings, former palaces, embassies and villas inside. The reopening had been scheduled for Nov. 25 but was postponed. The reasons were not clear, but it was widely believed the American government and military had opposed the reopening.
A spokesman for the American military in Baghdad, Col. Sean J. Ryan, said that reports that the United States opposed reopening the Green Zone were incorrect and that there was no immediate risk to American personnel in the Green Zone. “It’s a temporary, let’s-see-how-it-goes situation right now,” he said. “We’re here at the invitation of the government of Iraq and they’re a sovereign nation. If that’s a decision they want to take, they can. But we’re always pretty vigilant with security.”
There so far has been no change to the heavy fortifications around the American embassy, which lies on the southern edge of the area, but on Monday armed Americans in civilian clothes were seen standing beside now idle Green Zone checkpoints where no one previously could enter without biometric badges and vehicle passes.
The area was heavily protected during Saddam Hussein’s regime because of the palaces and residences for himself and family members, but it was not blocked off, since two of the capital’s busiest thoroughfares, Haifa Street and 14th of July Boulevard, traversed it.
Although the palaces were heavily bombed during the American invasion, they were chosen to house the American government’s occupation administration, headquarters and later the embassy.
As the resistance to the American presence took the form of more and more deadly bombings, many of them by suicide bombers, the entire area was sealed off to the public, subjecting many Iraqis to long and often impossible waits to obtain basic government services. Other embassies and international agencies moved into the relative protection of the Green Zone, which American officials tried unsuccessfully to rename the “International Zone” beginning in late 2003.
It was a doomed rebranding as the Green Zone became enshrined in books, articles and at least one feature movie, “Green Zone” with Matt Damon. Its towering blast walls, many more than 20 feet high and yards thick, became emblematic of an era in which extremists deployed massive bombs, often driven or carried by suicide attackers, which defeated normal protections such as armored cars and roadblocks.
As much as it was fortified and blocked off, the Green Zone remained a target. In 2004, two suicide bombers managed to infiltrate the zone, killing dozens of Americans and others at a cafe and a souvenir market. Three years later, the Parliament was bombed, killing one prominent legislator. For a period in 2008, the zone sustained rocket attacks almost daily by followers of the radical Shiite cleric Moqtada al-Sadr, firing from the Sadr City neighborhood across the Tigris River. Rockets struck the Rashid Hotel there when Deputy Secretary of Defense Paul Wolfowitz visited in 2003, killing an American soldier and wounding 17 others.
In 2016, anti-corruption protesters broke into the Green Zone, sacking the Parliament building and bringing the government to a standstill.
A statement from the acting cabinet secretary, Mahdi Muhsin al-Alaq, said the zone would reopen gradually beginning on Monday and continuing for two weeks. “During this period there will be an evaluation of the experience and then expansion to insure the convenience of all citizens,” he said.
Prime Minister Adel Abdul Mahdi made a televised address to celebrate the one-year anniversary of the defeat of the Islamic State in Mosul, but he did not address the reopening of the Green Zone. “Iraq reclaimed its lands, and the people reclaimed their will, and the citizens reclaimed their dignity, and all of us said no to terrorism and no to extremism and no to despotism, and we said yes to Iraq and yes to civilization and yes to citizenship,” he said.
Monday was declared a national holiday, Victory Day, and a moment of silence was observed at noon.
The American embassy did not comment on the Green Zone reopening except to warn, in an official security alert, that “residents of Baghdad should anticipate fireworks and celebratory gunfire throughout the city, to include the International Zone.”
“Remain indoors, sheltered from falling projectiles,” it said.
Despite the celebration, the Islamic State still holds a small pocket of territory on the Syria-Iraq border, carries out up to 75 attacks a month throughout Iraq, and is operating underground in many parts of the country.
Attacks in Baghdad have become relatively infrequent, however, and the death toll, while still worrisome, has declined. After several months of relative calm, three bombings in October and November killed a total of four people.
The most immediate impact of Monday’s opening would be to ease Baghdad’s chronic traffic jams, as Haifa Street and 14th of July Boulevard were major east-west and north-south arteries for the city of eight million people.
A taxi driver, Muhammad Khalid, 28, who drove through the zone on Monday said he was pleased at the improved traffic flow but otherwise disappointed. “I thought all of the Green Zone would be opened, not just parts of it,” he said. “I think it was just to show it to the media.”
Sayyid Ali Muhammad, a businessman, also visited. Although he was 32, he said, “I am seeing the Green Zone for the first time in my life. How is it possible, I’m standing here? Standing at the square where Saddam used to stand and salute people.”
Now that the American-era blast walls are down, many visitors also want to do away with the American name.
“I hated the name Green Zone,” said Mahdi al-Karkhi, head of Iraq’s soccer federation. Until the neighborhood regains its original name, he said, the reopening will never be complete. “They should call it Al Shakrea again, and soon, inshallah.”

Allen transitioned to B-back (fullback) in 2010, which is the featured rushing position in Johnson's offense. He tallied 240 carries at 5.5 yards per carry. Georgia Tech's red zone woes limited Allen to only 7 touchdowns on the season. Allen was the fifth straight 1,000 yard rusher for the Yellow Jackets.
The last Georgia Tech fullback taken in the Draft was Jonathan Dwyer. He was taken by the Steelers in the 6th round and was the 188th pick overall. If we were to compare Dwyer and Allen statistically, we'd see two completely different styles of running. Dwyer had the explosion and burst to take it the distance while Allen made better reads and always picked up yardage. Check out the chart:
Dwyer averaged at least 1 yard in 88% of his carries from 2007-2009 or basically was stopped for no gain around 11% of the time. Allen, on the other hand, was only stopped for no gain 4% of the time. Anthony also had a higher percentage of carries go for 4 yards or more. Unfortunately, Allen was on a bad offensive unit that couldn't alleviate any pressure for the fullback position. He was consistently running against 8 and 9 in the box limiting his big plays. And despite all of this Allen was tabbed 1st Team All-ACC. According to Jason Kirk, Allen should hear his name somewhere between the 4th-6th rounds.
There are several good highlights of Allen's strength as a runner (clip 1, clip 2, clip 3). Allen's downsides are a lack of breakaway speed and a tendency to fumble as indicated in the stats. He had six fumbles in 2010 and that may be a discouraging factor to a lot of teams in the Draft as well. Allen's last chance to impress scouts before the Combine and individual workouts will be at the Senior Bowl in Mobile on January 29th.

Catholic leaders have removed the pastor of a Cocoa Beach church after allegations of sexual abuse were made against him stemming from his time at a previous assignment.
The Rev. David C. Gillis of the Church of Our Savior was removed Wednesday by Bishop John Noonan of the Diocese of Orlando pending the outcome of an investigation in Allentown, Pennsylvania, the diocese said in a statement. Earlier this year, Gillis was appointed to the Cocoa Beach church.
The allegations against Gillis from his time serving in Pennsylvania. That's where a state investigation released this month identified more than 300 priests who preyed on more than 1,000 children in six Roman Catholic dioceses. Pennsylvania Attorney General Josh Shapiro said the church "weaponized" the Catholic faith to permit priests to prey upon children for decades with few consequences.

Often times, people accept compromise as inevitable. You see it with your firearm collection all the time; should you opt for something with plenty of stopping power, or something with better recoil control? Do you want a weapon that is small enough to conceal, or one that offers enough of a magazine capacity to really get the job done? For those who are unwilling to compromise, this Sig Sauer 1911 Texas Edition may be just the gun you have been looking for.
Looking to give that refined look, the weapon is constructed with an alloy frame. This frame features a custom black polish finish with gold engraving on the slide in the form of a Sam Houston quote. Its slide covers a 5” barrel, which delivers accurate shots over and over again. As you would expect from a 1911, it uses .45 ACP, comes with a standard beavertail grip safety, and provides that smooth and crisp trigger pull. Its rosewood sights provide a great feel and also enhance the look with a Texas star. Thanks to adjustable target sights, you can always make sure you hit your mark right.
When you are looking for a gun that shows off your state pride while still delivering unwavering performance, this 1911 is sure to please.


Nate Mendel has always been adventurous. It was a brave step jumping from excellent hardcore bands Diddly Squat and Brotherhood to emo titans Sunny Day Real Estate. Even braver was putting everything aside for a never-ending tour with a small band in 1995 fronted by a former Nirvana drummer. That small band went from opening Mike Watt shows in ’95 to becoming arguably the biggest rock band in the world today. Other than Dave Grohl, Mendel is the only member of the Foo Fighters to have been with the band throughout its 20-year history. And if the Foo Fighters have a George Harrison-esque “The Quiet One”, it would be Nate Mendel.
It’s of no surprise then that Mendel often takes the backseat to the bombastic personalities of Dave Grohl and Taylor Hawkins. What is surprising – and perhaps the bravest step Mendel has taken – is that he’s decided to test the waters as a frontman and release his first solo-album, If I Kill This Thing We’re All Going to Eat for a Week, under the moniker Lieutenant. The timing is also interesting as the Foo Fighters are embarking on a massive world tour. But then again, maybe there isn’t a great time to do anything – just do it.
What makes the album so intriguing is that Mendel is a solid songwriter, likely taken from years of being in the industry and surrounded by great musicians and artists. The other intriguing element is its massive list of guest collaborators on the album, which helps being a member of the Foo Fighters and Sunny Day Real Estate. Dispersed throughout the album are Page Hamilton (Helmet), Joe Plummer (Modest Mouse), Josiah Johnson (The Head and the Heart), Chris Shiflett (Foo Fighters), and Jeremy Enigk (Sunny Day Real Estate). The album was recorded in the Foo Fighters’ Studio 606 on the legendary Sound City Neve console and was produced by Toshi Kasai, who has previously worked with the Melvins and Helmet. As if the lineup on the album isn’t impressive enough, in the handful of shows Mendel has played as Lieutenant, his live band consists of Fleet Foxes member Christian Wargo, The Bronx drummer Jorma Vik, and Snow Patrol bassist Paul Wilson.
Opener “Belle Epoque” reveals Mendel’s surprisingly smooth vocals that have never been heard before. The track is multi-layered with a great uplifting chorus; however, sometimes the prominent guitar on the album makes it hard to decipher his lyrics. “Believe the Squalor” is a more relaxed song with moody guitars, sounding like it could easily be a lost Sunny Day Real Estate b-side.
Overall, If I Kill This Thing We’re All Going to Eat for a Week is a nice effort by an underrated bass player. Lieutenant is an enjoyable listening experience, but nothing here truly stands out as ground-breaking or fresh. For instance, though the album boasts an impressive lineup of guests, it’s often hard to tell them apart and uncover who is playing what through the 9 tracks. This is an album, however, for hardcore Foo Fighters fans like myself… for those who stay up late wondering if we’ll ever get another Rubensmear or why don’t the Foos let Chris Shifflett sing any Dead Peasants songs live? (“Get Along” would be awesome). Mendel should be commended for releasing this project, and it would be nice to see what he can bring to the writing table with the Foo Fighters.

Worms are effecient, entertaining garden helpers
Published 5:06 am, Wednesday, May 1, 2013
Composting with worms is an entertaining way to get your entire family involved in gardening. Children find it fascinating to watch worms create nutrient-dense compost for use in the garden. The benefits of worms in composting have been known since man first observed these underground animals. Aristotle described worms as "the intestines of the world" in reference to their ability to compost waste.
Compost is organic material that has been decomposed by soil-borne organisms. There is no need to spend a lot of hard-earned money buying compost because it is easy to make your own while reducing the amount of material that finds its way into our already overburdened landfills. Vermiculture is composting with the help of worms.
The value of these subterranean creatures was not lost on Michigan science teacher Mary Appelhof. In the early 1970s, Appelhof purchased some red wiggler worms with the intention of putting them to work decomposing household waste in her basement. It worked! Appelhof's red wigglers had composted almost 70 pounds of garbage over the winter. She went on to popularize vermiculture with a series of articles she wrote.
Vermiculture bins are not difficult to make. They can be made of plywood, plastic and even old chest freezers. Do not use treated lumber to make compost bins because the chemicals might be toxic to the worms. Containers should be at least one foot deep and two feet wide. Potting soil, garden soil and shredded paper provide a good initial bedding material. Some moisture should be provided in the bedding material but it should not be allowed to get soggy.
Red wigglers thrive in temperatures between 60 and 80 degrees. They will readily consume kitchen waste such as fruit and vegetable scraps. Avoid incorporating dairy and meat products into your feeding regimen because the fats are not quickly digested and may become rancid in the bin. Also, the slick advertisements inserted into newspapers do not get processed quickly by the worms.
Composting is completed when the material is dark, friable and has an earthy smell to it. To amend soils with compost, spread a four to six inch layer on top of your garden soil and work it in. When tilling is not practical, an application of two inches of compost top-dressed over an area will help improve the soil over time.
To learn more about vermicomposting, register to attend a two-part composting class on 6:30-8 p.m. June 4 at the Commemorative Air Force Museum, 9600 Wright Drive, Midland International Airport and on June 6 at the Time Machine, 816 West 42nd St. in Odessa. Texas A&M AgriLife Extension Service and the Permian Master Gardeners will host this free class sponsored by the Permian Basin Regional Planning Commission, Keep Midland Beautiful, Keep Odessa Beautiful, the Cities of Midland and Odessa and Midland and Ector Counties. Participants will receive free instruction on composting, a free composting bin and some worms to take home. To register, call the Midland County Extension office at 686-4700.

VANUATU court documents show the case against fugitive lawyer Julian Moti, being sought by the Australian Government, contains serious weaknesses.
Though the girl at the centre of the case has made graphic and disturbing allegations of a relationship with Moti when she was aged 13, a Vanuatu court decided he had no case to answer.
The pursuit of Moti has created a diplomatic crisis in the Pacific. The Foreign Minister, Alexander Downer, has attacked the justice systems of three nations: the Solomon Islands for proposing to appoint Moti as Attorney General; Papua New Guinea for botching his extradition; and Vanuatu for not having "brought to justice" the lawyer over child sex charges.
Vanuatu courts threw out the charges against him in 1999. The proceedings involved a number of distinguished visiting judges: John Von Doussa, now the president of Australia's Human Rights and Equal Opportunity Commission, Bruce Robertson, the president of the New Zealand Law Commission, and Daniel Fatiaki now Chief Justice of Fiji.
Moti had been running a legal practice in Vanuatu. In December 1997, a 13-year-old girl alleged to the Ombudsman that she had been living with him from May to October that year; that she was beaten by him; raped; became pregnant and "had an abortion against my will".
The Herald has seen six disturbing statements she made
over the next four months. All are in English, though it appears she only spoke French. None was in her own writing. None was sworn. The underlying story doesn't change from statement to statement, but details are contradictory. Others appear fanciful.
She claimed he had three testicles, but Port Vila GP Dr Frank Spooner would later examine Moti and concluded he had two.
The statements present a number of other difficulties for any prosecution of Moti. Dates are changed; at one stage she withdrew her allegations entirely, then renewed them a few weeks later saying her previous statement was "not of my own free will" and asked police to investigate.
In several statements she described being beaten and raped by Moti but in others that she loved him. "I wanted to say that I love Julian Moti very much," she stated in March 1998. "He is a reach [rich] man he can take me anywhere I wanted and this is my belief of my future with Julian because he is so kind … "
Moti was arrested in Vanuatu in 1998 and charged with several counts of unlawful sexual intercourse. A magistrate ordered him to stand trial. But the following year the overseas judges sitting on the Court of Appeal sent the case back to another magistrate.
Moti hired big guns from Australia for this second commital proceeding: Ian Barker, QC, from the Sydney Bar, and Dr David Chaikin, now an academic at Sydney University Law School. They argued there was insufficient admissible evidence to make Moti stand trial. The prosecutor was another Australian: Terry Gardner.
In a one-day hearing in Port Vila, the magistrate, Bruce Kalotri, decided Moti had no case to answer and ordered his considerable legal costs be paid, because he regarded the prosecution as "unjustified and oppressive".
No appeal was taken. The facts of the case have never been tested in court. Vanuatu authorities considered the criminal case closed. Vanuatu's Police Commissioner, Patu Navoko Lui, has told the Australian press: "We felt the case against him was cleared, finished."
Subsequently, the girl's father brought a civil case against Moti which was settled out of court. Then in June this year, after the Solomon Islands threatened to appoint Moti as Attorney-General, Australian Federal Police in Vanuatu took a fresh statement from the victim. She is now 21.
On August 7, the Director of Public Prosecutions, Damien Bugg, advised the Australian Federal Police there was a prima facie case against Moti under the Child Sex Tourism Act.
Whether Australian authorities are aware of the weaknesses in the case is not known.
Most recently, allegations have surfaced that the magistrate dismissing the charges against Moti was corrupted.

Professor Selina Wray is a Professor of Molecular Neuroscience at UCL Queen Square Institute of Neurology. Her lab focuses on understanding the molecular mechanisms of Alzheimer’s and dementia.
Can you tell us about your current research?
Our team is interested in understanding the very earliest changes happening in the brain cells (neurons) of people with dementia. The motivation for this being that for treatments to be effective, we believe we need to intervene in the disease process as early as possible.
To gain an understanding of early disease mechanisms, we are focused on rare, genetic forms of Alzheimer’s disease (AD) and frontotemporal dementia (FTD) – in these individuals we know which faulty gene causes their dementia, whereas in the more common late onset forms the cause is likely to be a mixture of genetic and lifestyle factors.
We take a small skin biopsy from participants who carry these faulty genes, and use this to make stem cells. We can then turn the stem cells into the cell types affected in disease – so neurons as well as other cells called ‘glia’. These will contain the faulty gene that causes AD or FTD, and so we have a ‘dementia in a dish’ model that we can use to start to put together a timeline starting with the genetic fault, followed by the sequence of events leading to neuronal dysfunction and death.
What are some of the challenges in researching dementia?
AD and other forms of dementia are hugely complex diseases, and this means there are several challenges we face when it comes to research.
First of all, we don’t fully understand what causes the different forms of dementia – some people have rare genetic forms, but for others we don’t fully understand what the underlying disease drivers are.
As mentioned already, the inaccessibility of the brain during life means we rely on models that we can grow in the lab to study the cell biology of disease – but no model is perfect. For example, our neurons are human but they lack the structure and diversity of cell types in the brain. On the other hand, for researchers who use rodent models, they have an intact organism but the size and complexity of the brain is lower than that of a human.
So, we need to use all these tools to piece together the dementia jigsaw, as well as take advantage of technology advances to develop new and improved models.
We are entering a new era of dementia research where we are starting to see successful clinical trials emerging. But treating AD and other dementia will also be complex, because of the need to get treatments into the brain (which is protected by the blood brain barrier) and also the long pre-clinical period of disease – by the time someone has symptoms, it’s likely that changes have been happening in their brain for several decades.
So as well as the pre-clinical work we do, I’m also excited by progress to develop ways to diagnose earlier and more accurately, so that we can treat as early as possible.
How can stem cell technologies help us better understand neurodegenerative conditions like dementia?
One of the big challenges in dementia research is that we can’t access the human brain during life, and so using stem cells to model dementia is the only way we can have an unlimited supply of human brain cells to study in the lab.
Can you tell us about the ‘Brains in a Dish’ project?
In addition to our laboratory science, we are also committed to communicating our research widely, to patients, families, policy makers, fundraisers and students who will become the neuroscientists of the future!
The Brains in a Dish project was led by my friend and collaborator Charlie Murphy, who is an amazing artist and made a series of artworks, installations and workshops in response to the research we do in the lab.
At the end of 2022, we had an amazing opportunity to hold an exhibition of this work at the Cooper Gallery in Barnsley (my hometown!) and I was so excited to showcase some of the work we do there and reach audiences we wouldn’t normally reach via our London-based engagement projects.
UCL is building a new centre for excellence for neuroscience that will bring academics, clinicians and patients under one roof. Can you tell us more about the project and the benefits of the new building?
We will move into the new translational neuroscience building at the end of the 2024. It will really change our research in multiple ways.
Our current facilities are quite old and not purpose-built for the work we are doing, so to be in state-of-the-art new facilities will accelerate our work as well as enabling more collaboration, because it will bring together scientists from across multiple sites under one roof.
This will increase those chance “corridor conversations” that happen which can turn into exciting new projects!
Further, we will have scientists, clinicians and patients all in one building. Our work relies on collaboration with clinical colleagues and samples that are generously donated by research participants. And nothing keeps you focussed on the goal of developing treatments like sharing an entrance to a building with people living on the disease you are working on – it’s a good reminder of our mission.
What working achievement are you most proud of?
This is a tough one – I really enjoy seeing students and postdocs in the lab grow into independent researchers and drive their projects forward with such enthusiasm. But as our research relies on samples from research participants, I would have to say I’m most proud of the work we have done to share our findings with the patient community, such as speaking at the rare dementia support groups.
People help our research projects selflessly, and I really enjoy being able to communicate our research findings back to them and see them get excited about research!
Why would you recommend UCL as a place to study neuroscience?
The neuroscience community here is huge and spans all aspects of neuroscience, from the translational work we do to really fundamental studies into how the brain works. Even after 10 years at UCL, I hear about fascinating work going on across campus that I hadn’t come across before, and it is amazing to be part of the neuroscience community.

Telstra has fleshed out the details of its two way deal with Australia Post, announced in June under which Telstra will both use and support Australia Post's planned digital mailbox service, and provide other services to Australia Post.
The service, announced in April, will be based on the Pitney Bowes Volly digital mailbox technology. It will enable organisations that have traditionally sent out paper bills and other similar important communications to customers to deliver these into a secure digital mailbox that each customer will be able to access.
In June Telstra became the first organisation to announced that it would use the service and the two announced an MoU under which Telstra was to "provide the capability to deliver more products and services through the Australia Post IT network, which will assist in the rollout of Australia Post's retail superstores across the country," "work with Australia Post towards an agreement for the Digital MailBox service to be hosted on Telstra's Australian based secure cloud computing platform."
Under an agreement announced today, Telstra will provide Australia Post with a managed IP network, mobile services, smartphones and tablets, unified communication services an a locally based, secure cloud services to support the new Digital MailBox service.
Telstra will "help Australia Post move its current product-based infrastructure to a new managed services network that enables Australia Post to deliver new products and services to its customers throughout its retail and distribution network."
Telstra said: "The agreement will also see Telstra provide service management expertise for the rollout of the Australia Post IT network transformation project, as well as a new integrated service desk for all Telstra services provided to the organisation."

Media Propaganda Pushes Poison
by Stephen Lendman (stephenlendman.org – Home – Stephen Lendman)
Establishment media are hostile to what just societies hold dear — notably the self-styled newspaper of record NYT, an instrument of mass deception on issues mattering most.
Since early last year, the Times has been in the vanguard of pushing Americans and others abroad to self-inflict harm by toxic flu/covid jabs.
It’s a virtual press agent for the mother of all state-sponsored scams that’s all about mass-extermination of unwanted people.
On Wednesday, its hostile-to-public health and well-being editors continued their mass deception campaign, saying:
Mass-jabbing for seasonal flu-renamed covid “is poised to go down as a triumph of science and public health (sic).”
Reality is worlds apart from the above — unless, of course, by “triumph” the Times means irreversibly harming countless millions, shortening their lifespans, and killing them near-or-longer-term.
The Times and other establishment media were enlisted as press agent for mass-extermination of unwanted people on an unparalleled scale.
They’re complicit with planned-in-the-USA genocide worldwide.
Their modus operandi is daily mind-manipulation to convince maximum numbers of people to self-inflict harm by toxic jabs designed to destroy health.
Claiming “millions of Americans have been inoculated with (drugs) that are more effective than many dared to hope for” turned reality on its head.
Throughout its mass deception campaign, the Times suppressed information on irreversible harm to hundreds of millions infected by Pfizer, Moderna, J & J or AstraZeneca toxins sold as beneficial.
The campaign is based on a foundation of state-approved bald-faced Big Lies.
Saying flu/covid “is evolving quickly…mutat(ing) its way around the human immune response and beyond the ability of existing (jabs) to help” is anti-science, not the real thing, adding:
“The only way to prevent such a grim outcome is to (mass-jab) as many people as possible, as quickly as possible…everywhere (sic).”
Toxic jabs are all about manufacturing “a grim outcome” by mass-infecting maximum numbers of people to eliminate them.
Expressing concern about “hesitancy” to be jabbed, the Times considers the health-protecting mindset “baffling (sic).”
It lied claiming harmful-to-health side effects “have yet to emerge (sic).”
Dismissing legitimate mistrust of flu/covid jabs because of their deadly toxins, the Times blamed what it called “an anti(mass-jabbing) movement (sic),” adding:
Refusing to be jabbed is “one of the world’s leading global health threats (sic).”
The Biden regime “started a multimillion-dollar (disinformation) campaign to (mind-manipulate) Americans” to self-inflict harm by convincing them to falsely believe that harmful-to-health jabs are beneficial.
Truth and full disclosure was suppressed by dark forces, Pharma profiteers and their media press agents.
Mass deception replaced it — based on state-approved talking points.
“(E)very (unjabbed) person is an opportunity for (flu/covid) to spread (sic), multiply and mutate (sic) — and every mutation is a chance for it to penetrate all our best defenses (sic),” according to Times propaganda.
“(T)he single most important thing you can do for yourself (sic), your loved ones (sic), and your country (sic) is to get (jabbed) right away (sic).”
The single most important things you can do is ignore state-approved rubbish like the above and go nowhere near toxic covid jabs designed to destroy health, not protect and preserve it.

Churchill, Manitoba, is a small Canadian town with problems unlike any other. This outpost in Canada's Arctic north has been able to capitalize on the fact that hundreds of polar bears wander through the community every year, providing a seasonal stream of tourism income.
But now, climate change is threatening polar bear populations and Churchill's way of life. Still, the climate crisis might also bring with it some uncomfortable new economic opportunities.
Global Business Journalism reporter Justin Olsvik traveled to Churchill to report on the lure (and lore) of the polar bear, the economic lure of Canada's "northwestern passage" for global shipping and the challenges exacerbated by global climate change.

Kristina Rihanoff has brushed off suggestions her rumoured move to the United States to appear on Dancing With The Stars has caused relationship woes with Ben Cohen.Emilia Clarke confirms Game of Thrones spin-off with Kit Harington as Jon Snow
Despite claims rugby star Ben wasn’t too pleased Kristina’s plans to appear on the US version of Strictly, a spokesperson has told Metro.co.uk the couple are ‘very happy’ and are dedicated to their daughter Milena.
‘Kristina and Ben are very happy together and looking forward to celebrating Milena’s first birthday,’ they said.
On Tuesday, The Sun reported Kristina’s ambitions to follow in Len Goodman’s footsteps by kick-starting a career in Hollywood had placed their relationship in dire straits.
‘Kristina is in talks to do Dancing With The Stars and she’s flying out to LA at the weekend for secret talks,’ they said.
‘They are very keen on her and Len has told her it would be a great move for her to make career wise.
‘Ben desperately doesn’t want her to move to the States and is it causing serious tension in their relationship.’
They said the 39-year-old ballroom beauty wanted to be ‘main breadwinner’ and forge a career for her family post-Strictly.
‘It’s something she feels she needs to do before she turns 40 in September,’ they added.
Kristina Rihanoff left Strictly Come Dancing in 2015 to welcome her first child with Cohen, who she was partnered up with on the programme.
Back in November, Kristina Rihanoff confirmed her interest to replace Len Goodman on Strictly, insisting her experience on the dance floor would make her a ‘fair judge’.
‘If they asked me, then yes, I’d take it,’ she told Heat magazine.
She added: ‘I think I would be firm, but definitely a fair judge – especially to the professionals as I’ve been on the other side of it.
‘When you stand there facing the judges and they’re ripping you apart, you want to tell them that they don’t understand how many hours of hard work has gone into the performance.’

Lego 10283 Nasa Area Shuttle Discovery With Hubble Is Revealed As 2,300
Crew members of the area shuttle Discovery deployed the observatory on what has turn out to be a multi-decade exploration of the cosmos. Lego’s designers appeared to have put as a lot work into making an correct duplicate of the Hubble Telescope as the shuttle carrying it. It’s coated in 108 silver parts—probably the most ever included in a single lego set—and options a gap and closing aperture door revealing the optics inside in addition to solar panels that can be hooked up as soon as the telescope is faraway from Discovery’s cargo bay.
Lego collaborated with NASA on the design of the set, which options movable payload doorways on the shuttle. The Hubble model can fold up and fit into the shuttle, or the photo voltaic arrays may be folded out to point out the telescope in its full glory. Other details include a robotic arm, a command module that opens as much as present the flight deck and deployable touchdown gear. Like most of those previous area units, the area shuttle one commemorates a giant anniversary; April 12, 2021 will be the fortieth anniversary of STS-1’s launch, the crewed mission that began the 135 flights of the house shuttle program. A new set from the constructing company recreates the STS-31 mission on space shuttle Discovery that launched the Hubble Space Telescope into orbit in April 1990.
Lego Ideas International House Station
Soon after, NASA launched the Mars Spirit and Opportunity rovers from Cape Canaveral Air Force Station, Fla. Each rover included development bricks and an image of an “astrobot” brick character affixed to the spacecraft, as well as a CD with a digital record of names from the “Send Your Name to Mars” contest. Through the Planetary Society’s “Red Rover Goes to Mars” outreach effort, astrobot mini-characters named Biff Starling and Sandy Moondust blogged about their journey to Mars during the preliminary stages of the mission. These mini-characters and the mini-DVD components had been made from supplies able to withstand the harsh Martian setting. The LEGO Group constructed a life-measurement mannequin of the NASA Mars Exploration Rover, displayed at several museums, conferences, and public events to promote the “Name the Rovers” competitors and the Mars mission.
After years of creative experience decorating homes, TheoryHome knows that uniqueness plays a vital half in creating a home that’s particular and inspiring. Their sharp and minimalistic floor lamp is a great example, fitted with LED lights that enable for excellent lighting irrespective of the location. The LEDs provide 50,000 hours of illumination along with over 300 multi-shade effects and more than 16 million colours in total. Before social media and the laundry record of on-line startups, eBay was the unique sneaker marketplace.

Once complete the set also comes with stands and knowledge plaques, allowing you to show your creation with satisfaction. These are flanked on either facet of the tail by smaller engines designed for in-orbit manoeuvres and for deorbit and re-entry into the ambiance on the end of the mission. The flight control surfaces on the again edge of the wings and tail then are used to control roll, pitch and yaw as an airplane does. The tail’s rudder serves as a velocity brake to assist in touchdown control and rollout on the runway after landing. It can be displayed at the side of Discovery because it’s deployed from the cargo bay.

SEROPREVALENCE OF ANTI-RESPIRATORY SYNCYTIAL VIRUS ANTIBODIES IN HOSPITALIZED PATIENTS WITH ACUTE RESPIRATORY TRACT INFECTIONS IN SULAIMANI GOVERNORATE/ IRAQ
Respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) is a major respiratory pathogen among children, and it is a leading cause of bronchiolitis and pneumonia among hospitalized children.
To measure the seroprevalence of anti-RSV antibodies among hospitalized children presenting with acute respiratory tract infections in Sulaimani Governorate, Kurdistan/Iraq.
ELISA technique was used to detect serum anti-RSV antibodies (IgM and IgG antibodies) from 300 hospitalized children less than 5 years old with a diagnosis of acute respiratory tract infections.
IgM anti-RSV was positive in 61 (20.3%) out of 300 children. The highest seroprevalence was found in the age group 1 to < 2 years, while the lowest in the age group 2 to < 3 years. No significant gender difference was found among seropositive children. The IgM anti – RSV seropositive children were suffering from bronchiolitis, pneumonia, or other respiratory tract infections in a frequency of 29 (47.5%), 15 (24.6%), and 17 (27.9%). The IgG anti-RSV antibodies were positive in 216 (72%) out of the 300 children, and there was a gradual increase in percentage of seropositivity with increasing age.
RSV is a common viral respiratory pathogen among hospitalized children in Sulaimani governorate/ Kurdistan/Iraq, and most of the children had experienced RSV infection by the age of five years.

(CMC) – A weakened but still dangerous West Indies clash with powerhouses India in the opening Twenty20 International here Sunday, hoping to spring a surprise and also halt their decline in what has become their most successful format.
For the clash at historic Eden Gardens, there will be no Chris Gayle – the most successful batsman ever in T20s – nor any Evin Lewis, who has already plundered two centuries in 17 matches. The reigning World champions will also be without explosive all-rounder Andre Russell and also off-spinner Sunil Narine, both of whom are injured.
It means West Indies start the series with an inexperienced side, comprising five debutants, while fast bowler Keemo Paul and batsmen Shai Hope, Shimron Hetmyer and Nicholas Pooran have played only 15 matches among them.
Left-hander Darren Bravo, meanwhile, has not played international cricket in two years because of a protracted dispute with Cricket West Indies, and the last of his 12 T20s came four years ago.
With Rovman Powell still new to international cricket, much then will rest on the shoulders of veterans Kieron Pollard and Denesh Ramdin, while captain Carlos Brathwaite’s role will also be pivotal.
However, though short on experience, Brathwaite backed the squad to make their mark, pointing out that the young stars were up for the challenge.
“We have a new team – a young, exciting team – and our [Caribbean Premier League] stars, however young and inexperienced they maybe, are ready and raring to go,” Brathwaite told a media conference here Saturday.
“Some of them had a taste in the ODI format and I personally think we did a lot better than a lot of people expected in the ODI format, and it’s for us to come in the T20 format now and create an even bigger surprise and come away with the trophy at the end of the series.
“What we have to face at this point in time is with the squad that we have, which in my opinion is a very exciting squad and it’s for us to find a way to get the best out of each and every player in that squad, to not only challenge and compete but come out victorious against the Indian team.”
Since capturing the T20 World Cup two years ago under the now-discarded Daren Sammy, the Caribbean has struggled, losing 13 of their 23 outings. Inside the last 12 months, they have won just one of nine matches.
In contrast, India have won 11 of their last 14 T20Is inside the last years, and with the in-form Rohit Sharma leading a strong squad, pundits have understandably held out little hope for the Windies.
However, Brathwaite said there was no shame in being labelled underdogs, especially against a strong side home-side.
“India at home in any format are very formidable, especially with the advent of IPL and the amount of T20 cricket that the Indian superstars play – they definitely start as favourites,” he pointed out.
“I guess we’re not accustomed to the underdog tag but we have to take it this time around and it’s not something we’re ashamed of really.”
West Indies have gotten the better of India in their recent meetings. Last year July, they stunned the Indians by nine wickets in Jamaica and the previous year, won a one-run thriller in Florida.
Months earlier, the Windies had also overcome the Indians in Mumbai, in the semi-final of the T20 World Cup, and Brathwaite said he was hoping for similar results in the three-match series.
“I was fortunate to be a part of one those games in Miami which was very, very exciting,” the all-rounder said.
“I know the crowd in Kolkata is always massive so it’s very, very loud. Hopefully we can play a couple more games such as the one in Miami [and] the one in Jamaica which we also came out on top of.
“Hopefully we can have as exciting a battle as we’ve had in those two games and hopefully we can get the same result with the West Indies coming out on top.”
West Indies have endured a difficult tour, losing both Tests inside three days and then going down 3-1 in the subsequent one-day series.
INDIA – Rohit Sharma (captain), Shikhar Dhawan, KL Rahul, Manish Pandey, Shreyas Iyer, Rishabh Pant, Krunal Pandya, Washington Sundar, Yuzvendra Chahal, Kuldeep Yadav, Bhuvneshwar Kumar, Bumrah, Khaleel Ahmed, Umesh Yadav, Shahbaz Nadeem.
WEST INDIES – Carlos Brathwaite (captain), Fabian Allen, Darren Bravo, Shimron Hetmyer, Shai Hope, Obed McCoy, Keemo Paul, Khary Pierre, Kieron Pollard, Nicholas Pooran, Rovman Powell, Denesh Ramdin, Sherfane Rutherford, Oshane Thomas.

Thailand to support local rice production
Navrongo (UE), Jan. 19, GNA - Thailand, the World's largest exporter of rice, is to support the Irrigation Company of Upper Region (ICOUR), to expand local rice production under the Tono and Vea Irrigation Schemes in the Region.
Consequently, a four-man investment delegation from Thailand, led by Vichai Sriprasert, has visited the Region to have first hand information about the operations of the Tono and Vea Irrigation schemes.
Managing Director of ICOUR, Alhaji Issah Bukari told the delegation that visited the Tono Irrigation facility in the Kassena-Nankana East District that there existed large tracts of land for the cultivation of rice.
He also said there was another vast land at Naga in the District and Fumbisi in the Builsa District, suitable for rice framing.
Alhaji Bukari said that it was government's intention to make the country become self-sufficient in rice production within two to three years and would partner organizations that could help the authorities to achieve this objective.
He said rice farmers lacked inputs such as tractors, combined harvesters and fertilizers among others.
Mr. Sriprasert said a team of experts in rice production from Thailand would soon arrive in Ghana to support the farmers to undertake large scale production of the crop.
He further assured the rice farmers that not only would rice increase in production but rice farming technology would be transferred to them to facilitate their farming activities.
Mr. Sriprasert said that Ghana had vast tracts of land and water sources that could be exploited for rice production.
He asked the rice farmers to collaborate with the team of experts to enable Ghana to achieve its dream of becoming self-sufficient in rice production.
The Upper Regional Director of Food and Agriculture, Alhaji Abdul-Razaque Zebrim Salifu thanked the delegation for the visit.
He said that increase in rice production in the region create employment for the youth and reduce poverty in the area.
The delegation also visited the Tono Reservoir, rice fields, silos, rice mills and farm inputs stores.
The farmers expressed joy over the partnership and said they would co-operate with the delegation to increase rice cultivation.
The delegation was accompanied by Mr. Peter Mahama of the Office of the President and Mr. Emmanuel C. Akuna, National Coordinator of Youth in Agriculture Block Framing Programme.

It has taken approximately 50 years to go from the riots to national marriage equality. On June 26, 2015 the United States Supreme Court held that the 14th Amendment required states to issue marriage licenses to same-sex couples and recognize same-sex marriages performed in other states. This historic decision from the Supreme Court, either right or wrong depending on your personal views, was a long decision in the making. How will this historic decision change the fabric of our lives? Without a black magic ball I sincerely can not answer that question, what I can do is give a brief over view of how the Court came to its decision in a 5/4 vote.
The Court analyzed four principles and traditions which demonstrated why opposite-sex couples marry. Each principle and tradition are fundamental under the Constitution and each can be applied to same-sex couples with equal force.
The first principle is that the right to personal choice regarding marriage is inherent in the concept of individual autonomy. Decisions about marriage are among the most intimate that an individual can make.
The second principle is that the right to marry is fundamental because it supports a two-person union unlike any other in its importance to the committed individuals. Same-sex couples have the same right as opposite-sex couples to enjoy intimate association.
The third principle is that it safeguards children and families and thus draws meaning from related rights of childbearing, procreation, and education. Marriage allows children to understand the integrity and closeness of their own family, it gives recognition and legal structure to their parents’ relationship and also affords the permanency and stability important to children’s best interests.
Finally, the Nation’s traditions make clear that marriage is a keystone of the Nation’s social order.
In Addition, The Court argued that the right of same-sex couples to marry is also derived from the Fourteenth Amendment’s guarantee of equal protection, the Due Process Clause and the Equal Protection Clause. The Court stated that the right to marry is a fundamental right inherent in the liberty of the person, and under the Due Process and Equal Protection Clauses of the Fourteenth Amendment couples of the same-sex may not be deprived of that right and that liberty.
The Court briefly touched on the First Amendment, freedom of religion. The Court stated those who adhere to religious doctrines, may continue to advocate that same-sex marriage should not be condoned. The same is true of those who oppose same-sex marriage for other reasons. In turn this allows an open debate.
In conclusion the Court held that the Constitution does not permit the State to bar same-sex couples from marriage on the same terms as accorded to couples of the opposite sex and that there is no lawful basis for a State to refuse to recognize a lawful same-sex marriage performed in another State on the ground of its same-sex character.

The 2019 Fiesta Bowl was a gut-punch for the Ohio State team and its fans. Here’s a look at where it ranks among the most crushing ends to an OSU season.
Ohio State did everything they needed to in order beat Clemson on Saturday night, but along the way they also did everything they could to make sure the Tigers came out on top. Untimely mistakes trumped timely plays. And then miscues were followed by dazzling Buckeye plays. This game had everything, it just didn’t have an ending that Ohio State is going to be able to live with.
Rayma the orangutan pulled a switcheroo worthy of the craziest National Signing Day ceremonies Friday afternoon in Phoenix.
We have reached the portion of the season where the picks from earlier in the season don’t matter. The regular season records have all been washed away by this bullcrap rain in Phoenix all week. All of the picks made from game one to game 13 are now moot. Nobody wants to hear that I probably got more picks correct than anybody else, especially not Brandon Zimmerman or Caroline Rice.

Com-Power ALT-930-2M Van Veen Triple Loop Antenna
Frequency Range: 9 kHz - 30 MHz
The ALT-930-2M is a Triple large loop antenna system (LAS) based on the Van Veen/Bergervoet principle. The operating frequency is from 9 kHz to 30 MHz. The loops are 2m in diameter with the lowest point 0.5m above ground. The loop support structure is very easy to erect and with its wheel base very convenient to move. It is a complete 3-axis antenna system with three loops and three current transformers and a remote antenna switch (RAS-930).
Com-Power ALT-930-2M Van Veen Triple Loop Antenna Product Description
The ALT-930-2M Triple Loop Antenna is designed based on the Loop Antenna System (LAS) described in Annex C of CISPR 16-1-4. The antenna consists of three mutually perpendicular large loop antennas having diameters of two (2) meters.
The loops are constructed from high quality RG 223/U coaxial cable, inside flexible 1” PEX pipe. The three (3) loops connect to three (3) current to voltage transducers, the outputs of which connect to three respective inputs on a coaxial switch.
The switch is used to select which loop connects to the measuring instrument, while terminating the other two loops into 50 ohms. The switch can be controlled locally or remotely via fiber optic interface with the optional RLI-100 Remote Interface.
The antenna assembly is supported by a fiber glass/plastic mounting structure employing swivel casters, enabling the antenna to easily be moved without disassembly.
The primary application for this antenna is the measurement of radiated magnetic fields (or radiated electromagnetic disturbances) generated by various types of electrical lighting and similar equipment while located in the approximate center of the Triple Loop Antenna structure, as per the requirements of CISPR 15 (EN 55015).

Storey and Clark told The Washington Post on Tuesday that they are still adjusting to life outside of prison.
Storey said it took him a while to learn how to use a cellphone, but he had a “new addiction” – caramel lattes.
Clark said he’s open to seeing key cards open doors because he’s seen it on TV, but he’s not used to all the advances in bathroom technology – the self-activating toilets shake the first time. That and the self checkouts at Walmart.
“I’m just an old country boy,” Clark said.
Their cases had fallen dormant until these two podcasters, Susan Simpson and Jacinda Davis, on the true-crime series “Proof”, discovered that the two testimonies supporting the cases were entirely false.
Simpson said she knew they had to look into the story if half of what Clark said about wrongful conviction during their initial conversation was true.
“We wouldn’t be where we are without the good investigative work of these podcasters,” said Meagan Hurley, who, along with fellow wrongful conviction attorney Christina Cribbs, represented Clark.
Storey and Clark were connected to “Proof” by another prisoner, Joey Watkins, whose case is also being considered by the court system and was chronicled in a podcast.
True crime podcasts are a staple of the medium, and that includes wrongful convictions.
Adnan Syed was released from prison in September after being the subject of the first season of the hugely popular ‘Serial’ podcast eight years ago.
Adnan Syed has been released from prison. What role did “Serial” play?
Crime-solving podcasters have become so believable that Hulu explored a fictionalized version on its popular show, “Only Murders in the Building.”
Podcasting has relatively low overhead compared to other mass storytelling mediums. Producers can go further than television usually does and use the power of audio, unlike print stories.
Broken Doors: A Post podcast on no-knock warrants
“What podcasting can do is bring in a new pair of eyes, or an independent pair of eyes…that can uncover important new evidence and put that evidence into context and make that information available to people who can make a difference through this,” Simpson said.
Every case is different, but Storey and Clark were released a year and a half after “Proof” began reporting. Compare that to the eight years since “Serial” first highlighted Syed’s case.
“It was lightning fast,” Davis said.
Simpson said the quick turnaround was partly because the facts of the case were so obviously twisted.
“We found a case that the world had forgotten,” she said.
Bowling was on the phone with his girlfriend and had just told her he was playing Russian roulette with a gun Storey brought when she heard a single gunshot ring out, according to a Georgia Innocence Project court filing.
Storey was initially charged with manslaughter, but those charges were turned into murder and brought to Clark. This happened, according to the court record, because of the testimony of two witnesses: one who claimed to have seen Clark running in the front yard of the Bowling alley that night and another who said that she had overheard Storey bragging at his party about how he and Clark killed Bowling.
The “evidence” found neither to be true.
The man who testified to seeing Clark running has difficulty hearing and speaking, Simpson said. And it wasn’t until his interview with “Proof” that something tragic became clear: The sign language interpreter in court all those years ago had confused the witness, who thought he was testifying about of another young boy who had been shot.
Then there was the party hostess. She, the podcasters found, said police investigators coerced her into giving compelling testimony against the men under threat that the police would take her children away from her.
Cribbs said it can sometimes be difficult to know whether an action by a law enforcement official or prosecutor was improper and led to a wrongful conviction. In this case? “It’s not a gray area at all,” she said.
Official misconduct plays a role in half of all wrongful convictions in America, according to a study by the National Registry of Exonerations.
When asked if anyone would be punished for the misconduct in this case, Cribbs said: “It’s really unclear, but I hope the actions of the prosecutor’s office in this case in accepting that ‘gross misconduct (has occurred)…sends a message to all the other prosecutors and police out there that this is not acceptable.
Along with the podcast witness findings, Simpson and Davis were also able to show the Bowling family that these two men did not kill Brian. The family ended up demanding his freedom.
She was kidnapped as a baby in 1971. Her family has just found her alive.
Storey and Clark were so thrilled to have their stories told by the podcast and, as expected, both now find it hard to believe in the criminal justice system.
“It makes me trust podcasters more than politicians,” said Storey, who hopes to start an artificial intelligence business.
Clark said more ethical investigators should have taken longer to look into the case, but he doesn’t hold a grudge.
“It doesn’t do me any good to hate them,” he said. “I’m just trying to be the best man I can be.”
Clark said his short-term plan was to make money cutting trees with his dad, then building airplane parts with his cousin before pursuing his ultimate dream of starting a national hotel franchise for pets.
He said people consider their pets like family and don’t want to leave them in a kennel.
When it was pointed out to him that he wanted to get a creature out of a cage that had done nothing wrong, he agreed, “Hey, I’ve been in a cage. The cage is not good.

Like any sensible woman in time of trouble, Sam turns to chocolate: chocolate mousse, chocolate layer cake, chocolate-covered orange peel, chocolate Kahlúa brownies, chocolate frosted sugar cookies, hot chocolate, milk chocolate, chocolate double fudge. She even tries an old Mexican version of chicken breasts stuffed with bitter chocolate and habeñero peppers—surprisingly good.
The evenings she used to spend with Harry, roaming the city, tasting of its delights, she now spends alone in her kitchen, chopping, grating, stirring, beating, folding, baking.
She pulls out every kitchen catalogue she’s ever gotten, every glossy food magazine, every cookbook. Her television is permanently tuned to the Food Network. No one’s egg whites peak quite like hers; no one’s butter and sugar cream as smoothly; no one’s fudge is fudgier.
Her entire building is redolent with the smell of fresh-baked brownies. Neighbors line up for blocks.
