New Porsche Taycan Cross Turismo is a more spacious, more versatile version of Porsche’s new Taycan EV
The Porsche Taycan Cross Turismo unveiled today brings electrification into a new segment, the performance wagon with off-road chops category. Albeit a small segment, even in the non-EV world, enthusiasts with a need for space are rejoicing everywhere. If there was ever a cool car in today’s industry, this would be it. Let’s take a closer look.
What’s New About the Porsche Taycan Cross Turismo?
The Porsche Taycan Cross Turismo is essentially a production version of the Mission E Cross Turismo unveiled in Geneva in 2018. It hasn’t lost much in the transition either.
Looking very much like a “normal” Taycan from the front with the exception of a redesigned lower apron, the rear features a slopping roofline Porsche calls the “flyline”. There are distinctive design elements that include wheel arch trims, side sills, and a different rear apron.
An Off-Road Design package increases ground clearance by 30 mm while also adding flaps at the end of the side sills and front and rear bumpers.
Versatility is improved over the Taycan sedan with 1,200 litres of total cargo space in the back and 46 mm more of headroom for rear passengers. If you thought the Taycan was a little cramped in the back, you’re not alone and the Cross Turismo is here to fix that.
The versions and powertrain options are identical to the Taycan. The following specs are taken from the press release:
- The Taycan 4 Cross Turismo with 375 hp, overboost power for Launch Control 469 hp, acceleration 0-100 km/h in 5.1 seconds, top speed 220 km/h
- The Taycan 4S Cross Turismo with 482 hp, overboost power with Launch Control 562 hp, acceleration 0-100 km/h in 4.1 seconds, top speed 240 km/h
- The Taycan Turbo Cross Turismo with 616 hp, overboost power with Launch Control 670 hp, acceleration 0-100 km/h in 3.3 seconds, top speed 250 km/h
- The Taycan Turbo S Cross Turismo with 616 hp, overboost power with Launch Control 750 hp, acceleration 0-100 km/h in 2.9 seconds, top speed 250 km/h
Each model will be built on Porsche’s 800-volt architecture, and comes standard with the 93.4 kWh battery Performance Plus battery along with all-wheel drive.
It promises to be capable off-road as well with a unique Gravel Mode that ensures optimal performance off the beaten path.
How Much Does the Porsche Taycan Cross Turismo Cost?
Pricing is as follows for the Porsche Taycan Cross Turismo in Canada:
- Porsche Taycan 4 Cross Turismo – $119,900
- Porsche Taycan 4S Cross Turismo – $126,800
- Porsche Taycan Turbo Cross Turismo – $178,700
- Porsche Taycan Turbo S Cross Turismo – $218,000
When Will the Porsche Taycan Cross Turismo Arrive on the Market?
The Porsche Taycan Cross Turismo will arrive on the market in Summer 2021.
What Models Will Compete with the Porsche Taycan Cross Turismo?
As stated previously, there’s little competition for the Porsche Taycan Cross Turismo, car for car. There are no electric wagons, let’s put it that way. Buyers who may have felt that the Taycan sedan wasn’t spacious enough will be happy the Cross Turismo is here. Same for the Audi e-tron GT that at first glance doesn’t appear any more spacious than the Taycan.
The Taycan Cross Turismo will indirectly compete with the Tesla Model S in terms of price and versatility. It may also move buyers away from the Audi e-tron Quattro or the Tesla Model X who don’t need that much space, but up until now didn’t really have a choice.
What Do We Think About the Porsche Taycan Cross Turismo?
We are huge fans of the Porsche Panamera Sport Turismo, and the thought of having that design with the Taycan’s performance is provocative to any enthusiast. Is there a market for the Taycan Cross Turismo? Sure. People who want to be different, people who want unique performance, and people who fell in love with the Taycan but were disheartened at the lack of rear passenger space.


Promising Son Of Ocovango Gets Off The Mark
Davy Russell rode the Gordon Elliott-trained bay to chase the leader and led approaching the third last. Ridden from the penultimate flight, he stayed on well to beat Battle Of Mirbat (Ocovango) by three and a quarter lengths.
Speaking after the race, the winning trainer said, “Run For Pat jumped well and it's great to get a win out of him. Davy thinks he might be better over a fence but he'll stay over hurdles for now.”
Placed on four previous occasions, Run For Pat carries the colours of Mrs Sloan. Bred by Patrick Molloy, he should take well to chasing as a half-brother to Grade 3 winning chaser Ballyward (Flemensfirth) and Irish Grand National Trial winner Ifyoucatchmenow (Westerner).

Excellent analysis of America’s deep economic trouble and the political act of mass economic suicide.
A comment to this article also magnifies the reality that America’s political division will not allow a joined effort needed to turn things around. America is an huge ship destined for disaster … exactly 100 years after the unsinkable Titanic sank to the ocean bottom.
- The question is not when the U.S. recovers economically, but if they recover. As mentioned in the article they have a toxic political system that barely works, therefore getting the really tough decisions passed is extremely difficult, if not impossible.
Add to that the overwhelming amount of money spent on the military, which is a sacred cow, and there is not a lot left over for education (and that is assuming that 50 different States can agree to revamp and improve their education systems).
The U.S. Is in big trouble and it is doubtful whether they will ever get back to their “glory” years of the past decades, let alone get their financial house in order.
Is America the sick man of the globe?
(Reuters) – The U.S. government may have bailed out General Motors, the country’s largest automaker, but it hasn’t begun to tackle the broader problems that led to the city’s implosion. Doing so, experts say, would require the kind of political will that has not been in great evidence in the country recently.
To the few remaining auto workers left in a city half the size it was in 1960, the America they knew growing up is long gone and things can only get worse.
“We have made concession after concession on wages and benefits and there is no end in sight,” said Dean Parm, a worker and union committeeman at Nexteer Automotive, whose hourly wages have been cut to around US$17 an hour from US$28. “It feels like we’re dinosaurs. And we’re on the verge of extinction.”
This is the point of the story where many Americans typically glaze over because they see Michigan as a long-standing financial basket case of a state thanks to the shrinking U.S. auto industry. But the problem is that the broad decline of the manufacturing sector that has been underway in this country for decades now may threaten not just the long-term health of the economy but also the living standards of all but the wealthiest Americans.
“The whole country is now seeing the story that Michigan has been living with for a long time,” said Diane Swonk, chief economist at Mesirow Financial. “We have kicked the can so far down the road that now all we have is a cliff to fall off.”
“The recession merely revealed a reality that has been with us for a long time. We faced a growing gap in education and skills that we tried to fill with debt and credit, which gave us the illusion of growth.”
Germany’s manufacturing and exports have rebounded after tough reforms
Some point to the example of how Germany’s manufacturing has rebounded a decade after the country was derided as the “sick man of Europe,” though they add the German experience shows reform is a long, hard road.
America is now the “sick man of the globe,” says John Silvia, chief economist at Wells Fargo. “The good news is the illness is not terminal.”
But fixing America’s education system for jobs of the future plus retraining unskilled workers would require bipartisan consensus, a long-term commitment by America’s political class and funding to make it happen. In today’s bitterly divided Washington, that is a tough sell.
In the recent midterm elections Democrats were pummeled less than two years after President Barack Obama’s triumphal arrival in Washington and American voters remain in a volatile mood. Steven Schier, a politics professor at Carleton College in Minnesota, said unless the job mess is repaired more wild swings lie ahead.
“It’s entirely possible we’re going to see voters flip the switch every two years until both Republicans and Democrats get the message,” he said.
"But I will not let myself be reduced to silence."

Place is just great! Rooms are mega simple (c'mon look at the price). Location is great - from terrace on the roof you have a stunning view of favelas and the bay, beach is just 15-20 minutes a way, however be aware of MANY stairs, which can give some extra training to your legs.
Breakfast is homemade and very tasty, owners are super nice and I really want to thank them for great stay. If look for some good and cheap accommodation inside favela (yes it's exactly inside favela, but place is very safe) - go for it!
Note: in the rooms there is no AC, so prepare for really warm night :)More

Anthony, Nuggets pick up rare road win over HawksDec 13, 2006 - 2:53 AM ATLANTA (Ticker) -- Carmelo Anthony and the Denver Nuggets' defense waited until late in the second half to end their road woes in Atlanta.
Anthony scored 26 points and Earl Boykins added 19 as the Nuggets used a decisive run to post a 100-87 win over the Atlanta Hawks, who played without star guard Joe Johnson.
J.R. Smith had 17 points, including 3-of-6 from the arc, for the Nuggets, who shot 49 percent (37-of-75) but held the Hawks scoreless from the field for nearly 10 minutes to pick up their fourth win in six games.
Coach George Karl said Denver's offense was sparked by improved effort on the other end of the court.
"I thought we went from a non-defensive team to a very good defensive team," Karl said. "We were struggling during the early part of the third quarter, but during the later part of the third and into the fourth quarter, we began pressuring the ball and trapping the ball, creating some turnovers. They started to take some bad shots and the offense came our way."
Despite finishing with a losing record for the last seven seasons, Atlanta had won 15 of its last 16 games against Denver on its home floor.
Karl thinks his teams lacks energy in Atlanta's near-empty arena.
"We were playing against a pretty good basketball team on the road in a dead building," Karl said. "This is the NBA, you can get behind early if you don't focus from the tip-off, but we were able to focus down the stretch."
The Nuggets also lost to the Hawks last week in Denver, 98-96.
"It took us a while to get going, but we definitely remembered what these guys did to us last week in Denver, when they stole one from us," Denver center Marcus Camby said. "We had to circle the wagons."
The Hawks were in command, 67-59, with 3:32 left in the third quarter until Denver's defense took control. Denver outscored the Hawks, 31-6, during that span with Atlanta shooting 0-of-17 from the floor. A layup by Solomon Jones with 5:09 left ended the Hawks' drought.
"The biggest difference in the game was getting defensive stops," Boykins said. "In the first half, we weren't getting any stops and they were getting back on defense, which made it hard to score. Once we got the stops, we were able to get the numbers offensively, which led to some easy baskets."
"It was huge to get this win," Boykins said. "Whenever a team beats you on your home court, you have to go out and return the favor. We played much better than we did last week in Denver."
Anthony was 10-of-25 from the field and 5-of-8 from the line. Boykins, who led Denver's bench, shot 8-of-11 and dished out four assists. The Nuggets' reserves netted 41 points.
"The bench was the difference for us, they came in and gave us a spark in the third and fourth quarter," Anthony said. "We were playing our game up and down the court."
The fourth-leading scorer in the NBA at 28.7 points per game, Johnson suffered a strained right calf in Atlanta's 106-95 loss to the Los Angeles Lakers on Friday and is day-to-day.
"I don't know how long Joe is going to be out," Hawks coach Mike Woodson said. "(The rest of the team) has to step up and play. I'm pulling for Marvin Williams and Josh Smith. They've got to step it up and make plays in the fourth quarter."
Smith scored 21 points and Williams added 10 for Atlanta, which shot 41 percent (35-of-86).
"We played well in the first half," Josh Smith said. "We played totally opposite in the second half. Collectively, as a unit we could have stepped it up on defense and made it harder for them to score. We didn't do that, we gave up easy buckets and a lot of second chance points."

Cooking for our little ones is one of the most satisfying activities, isn’t it? But here’s a confession, there have been days when I couldn’t provide her with nutritious meals due to my busy schedule and trust me, I used to feel extremely guilty about it. I’m pretty sure there’re many mothers who are going through the same.
There’s a famous quote by Bill Gates where he says, “I choose a lazy person to do a hard job. Because a lazy person will find an easy way to do it.”
I’m that lazy person :p
Here are a few baby food recipes for moms of 6-12 month old babies out there! These recipes are very quick and easy, just make sure you you do your pre-preparation and planning right.
Before we start, here are some guidelines for you:
1. Make sure that your recipe has at least 2-3 food groups.
2. Avoid processed and packaged foods, no matter now fancy the packaging may be.
3. Your child doesn’t need sweetness or salt in his food. Try to avoid that too.
4. Dal water, rice water or basically anything just boiled in water is not a healthy option!
Let’s delve straight into the recipes now!
Age: 6-7 months (Puréed to soft mashed foods)
1. Ragi apple/mango porridge:
Boil apple and grind it into a paste. For mangoes, you can just peel and grind it.
Take some ghee and lightly roast ragi. Add this purée and gently stir it. Add some water to make a thick paste! And voila, it’s ready
2. Sweet potato and strawberry purée
Boil and grind sweet potato with fresh strawberries until a thick creamy paste is formed. My girl loved this!
3. Beet root, banana and berries smoothie
Take boiled and chopped beet root, add sliced bananas, a few berries of your choice and some homemade curd. Blend all of this together and serve.
4. Chickoo Sheera
This was my girl’s absolute favourite. Sauté some rava in ghee, add puréed Chickoo and water. And it’s ready! You can try this with mangoes too.
Age: 7-10 months (Semi-solids to solids)
By 7.5 months, my girl was eating pretty much all solids that we did. We had a smooth transition because she loved eating on her own and showed interest in what we ate.
1. Mashed Cutlets/kebabs
I remember, this was my go-to food for a long time because she used to love kebabs
Boil potatoes and chicken (or soya nuggets/pulse of your choice). You can add blanched spinach too. Mix it all and add some lemon, finely minced onion and cumin seeds. Mix it all and dip in egg (or rawa) and shallow fry. Mash if needed or give small bite size pieces to your baby.
2. Roti porridge
Take 1-2 chapatis and chop them into small pieces. Take some ghee in a vessel, sauté cumin seeds and finely chopped onions. Add some ginger garlic paste. Then add chapattis and turmeric powder to it. Once soft, add some fresh curd and voila! It’s done.
3. Vegetable Paneer khichadi
Take dal and rice in equal amounts and soak. First, take ghee in a pressure cooker. Sauté cumin seeds and add chopped onions and tomatoes. Chop a mix of veggies and paneer and add to it. Then add rice and dal and allow it to cook in until soft.
4. Oats Upma
Lightly roasted and grind instant oats. In a wok, add ghee/oil and your regular Upma ingredients like onion, tomatoes etc. Then add oats and sauté, until it’s slightly cooked. Once done, add water, cover with a lid and cook until ready.
Age: 10-12 months (Solids)
1. Instant Coconut Idlis
Mix rava and curd in equal amounts. Add desiccated coconut (easily available) or you can use fresh ground coconut too. You can also add finely grated carrots to add some colour to it. Add optimum water until the required consistency is obtained. Place in an Idli maker and steam until done.
2. Spinach Cheela
Blanch and grind spinach. Mix it with besan (chana flour). Add water, cumin seeds powder and turmeric to it. Spread like a dosa and keep flipping until both the sides are well cooked. Grate some cottage cheese (paneer) on it and give small bite size pieces to your baby. (Can be made with moong dal too).
3. Mango, papaya and dates smoothie
Chop and grind mango, papaya and dates with a little curd and water. You’ll get a smoothie which serves as great evening snack for babies.
4. Chickpea and egg yolk patties
Soak, boil and grind chickpea. In a grinder, mix it with a clove, cumin seeds, lemon and boiled egg yolk (optional). You’ll get a smooth textured thick paste after blending them together. Add chopped coriander leaves to it. Make small flat balls and shallow fry them until well cooked.
(P.S. use just egg yolk and not the white until your baby is a year old)
Hope you found these recipes useful! Please subscribe to be notified whenever I post an article! 🙂
Have a great day and happy parenting!

Assalamu alaikum wa rehmatullahi wa barakatuh
And it is He who spread the earth and placed therein firmly set mountains and rivers; and from all of the fruits He made therein two mates; He causes the night to cover the day. Indeed in that are signs for a people who give thought.(13:3)
It is not the concept of whole flattened Earth,but the different landforms are mentioned.
The spreading of the Earth as bed simply means the creation of plains for our convenience.
[He] who made for you the earth a bed [spread out] and the sky a ceiling and sent down from the sky, rain and brought forth thereby fruits as provision for you. So do not attribute to Allah equals while you know [that there is nothing similar to Him].(2:22)
See the definition of plain:
A plain is a broad area of relatively flat land. Plains are one of the major landforms, or types of land, on Earth. They cover more than one-third of the world’s land area. Plains exist on every continent.

The Virtual Console recommendations crew finally gets a new release worth looking at.
Though the Virtual Console train has slowed considerably, Nintendo opted to grace us with a rarity: a first party N64 game in late December, and a well-loved one at that. Matt Blundon takes a close look at the game and see if it's still worth your hard-earned coins.
Also, Neal Ronaghan takes a look at another classic in Zombies Ate My Neighbors, a two-player shooter for SNES featuring a greatest hits from the Halloween costume aisle.
Lastly, Andy Goergen looks at the classic Genesis strategy RPG, Shining Force II. Does it hold up, or is it old news?
|System||Virtual Console - Nintendo 64|
|Released||Jan 24, 2000|
The Mario Party series has been around for over a decade, and up until a few years ago, the series was receiving yearly installments on both Nintendo’s home consoles and handhelds. Some have argued that the quality of the games decreased over the years, with many considering the original trio of games for the Nintendo 64 as the best of the bunch. Mario Party 2 is often hailed as the pinnacle of the series, and for good reason, too. While the game features the same roster of characters present in its predecessors, Mario Party 2 features some of the best boards and mini-games in the series. Some may argue that the game sticks too close to the formula of the original, but why fix something that was not broken at the time?
Each board has its own unique theme where the main goal is to rack up coins to purchase stars. Coins can be obtained by winning mini-games or landing on certain spaces on the board. The game has a simple premise, so anyone can join in on the fun, regardless of skill level. The game feels somewhat slow by today’s standards, but for those who can see past that minor gripe will find a solid party game.
The visuals hold up well, and even though the game lacks some of the features of the more recent games, Mario Party 2 is solid multiplayer experience. Just get a few friends together to play this game and you are bound to have a great time.

Zombies Ate My Neighbors, originally released by LucasArts in 1993, is a satirical top-down shooter that puts you in the shoes of two teenage kids who try to save their neighbors from an onslaught of horror movie-themed villains, ranging from werewolves to demonic babies. It features co-op gameplay and close to 50 levels that get extremely challenging near the end. To complete a level, you have to save at least one of ten neighbors strewn about the map, who die when touched by an enemy.
The best part of Zombies Ate My Neighbors is the production value. The colorful character designs and world make the somewhat standard run-and-gun gameplay way more fun than it has any right being. Each enemy and neighbor is fun to watch, as they are all comically animated. The music is also rather stellar. The weapons are another treat, as there are a lot of them and they are all generally funny. It's very amusing to throw super powerful silverware at enemies. All in all, Zombies Ate My Neighbors is an awesome game that might not be for everyone because of its quirkiness, but you owe to yourself to look into it more to see if it's for you.

Shining Force II, a game that represented a Sega fan's answer to the Final Fantasy series, is a tactical RPG with colorful graphics, catchy music, and a classic tale of good vs. evil. The game focuses on a player-named character who leads a band of warriors on a quest to save the kingdom from the forces of evil, one turn-based battle at a time.
Although tactical RPGs are generally considered to have a fairly high barrier of entry, Shining Force II keeps things very simple by focusing less on tactics and more on ease-of-gameplay. The characters have a basic levelling mechanic, but customization is kept merely to which weapons they wield. Unlike the Fire Emblem series, character death is rarely of much consequence, as players are easy to revive at the nearest church. Only when the main character dies is there any real penalty: a forced exit from the current battle. Savvy players may even use this tactic to grind their characters up in level.
Shining Force II is not the deepest experience, but the battles feel epic and after a while, become pretty tough. The graphics are great for the era, and the music, though repetitive, is fun and catchy. This is a game that is easy to recommend, but fans of the genre may feel it is a bit too simple.

The St. Cloud Waste Water Treatment Facility (SCWWTF) is currently conducting long term planning for future biosolids management. The most likely path forward includes dewatering of the digested biosolids, which will produce a supernatant stream with significant phosphorus and ammonia loads that would be returned to the liquids treatment portion of the WWTF. Returning these nutrient loads to the liquids train would result in increases to effluent concentrations, increases in power consumption, or both.
This project will complete a pollutant source identification and subwatershed information report and support the development of a Draft Restoration and Protection Plan (RAPP). It will also support the devlopment of a Implementation Plan that will identify target areas for BMP implementation for bacteria reductions.
The Discovery Farms program is a farmer-led effort to gather field-scale water quality information on different types of farms across Minnesota. The three pillars of the program are farmer leadership, credible research, and communicating results.
This project will provide the MPCA and all local partners in the Twin Cities Metropolitan Area (TCMA) the information and tools necessary to improve and/or maintain water quality with respect to chloride for the 7-county metropolitan area during the winter maintenace period.

Generation of this data was supported by the DOE Office of Science (Office of Biological and Environmental Research) primarily as part of the ENIGMA SFA (enigma.lbl.gov), Banfield and Firestone carbon cycling programs, Northen LDRD and ECRP, as well as a number of related projects and collaborations.

WebofMicrobes (WoM) is a repository of experimental assertions on how microorganisms transform their environments through the uptake and release of metabolites and exoenzymes. These assertions are based on direct experimental evidence obtained through mass spectrometry based exometabolomic analysis performed by the Northen Lab. WoM captures three types of experimental assertions: metabolite compositions of environments, uptake and release of metabolites by organisms in this environment, and relevant protein activities in this environment (e.g. glycoside hydrolases). It is important to note that these transformations are only interpretable in the context of the specific environments since an organism may uptake a metabolite in one environment but not in another.
The WebofMicrobes is focused on understanding how microorganisms transform their environment. The terms ‘environment’, ‘organism’, and ‘compound’ are used very loosely and therefore require some definition:
‘Environment’ is the starting metabolite pool that is being treated by the ‘organism’ or ‘protein’. Environments may include anything from synthetic mixtures of metabolites, rich medias, plant exudates, microbial extracts, soil extracts, plant materials etc.
‘Organisms’ includes anything except a purified protein that acts upon metabolites in an environment. For example, we have performed experiments where we compare a bacterial extract before and following treatment with soil. In this case the environment is the starting bacterial extract, the ‘organism’ is the soil and the data reflects the change in the metabolite pool resulting from the soil treatment.
‘Compound’ includes any organic materials detectable using our mass spectrometry methods, primarily metabolites that are produced and consumed by microorganisms.
Assertions of presence in an environment: For a metabolite to be annotated as present it must be detected in >2/3 replicates with peak area >10k.
Assertions of uptake or release: To make an assertion the p-value < 0.05 using a 2 tailed equal variance test except for cases where the metabolite is not detected in one group, in which case a one-sample t-test is used. Table elements are colored by the log2 of the fold change in the environment composition (Final/Initial) where zero values are replaced with 1 to prevent undefined results. The darker the color the larger the log2 fold change in that particular metabolite using the system: Score 1<1.5; Score 2= 1.5-2.5; Score 3=2.5-3.5; Score 4=3.5-4.5; Score 5 >4.5
Caveats: Our goal is to make assertions of presence not abundance! Given dramatic differences in instrument response functions for metabolites it is not possible to use these data to compare abundances of different metabolites. Some abundant metabolites are presumably not detected at all because they don’t ionize well (e.g. hydrocarbons). We use the terms ‘takes in metabolite’ and ‘releases metabolite’ to describe our observations that a metabolite was depleted or added to the environment after treatment with the organism. It is important to keep this in mind when interpreting our assertions. For example, if the ‘organism’ is a soil then ‘takes in metabolite’ would include non-biological adsorption onto mineral surfaces.
In many cases, the data in the WebofMicrobes has three dimensions: assertions about metabolites in an environment by an organism or community. Therefore it is setup to enable the data to constrain one of these dimensions such that the data can be viewed as two dimensional tables of assertions. Our assertion scoring system is as follows:
Searching: Note that only part of the name of a metabolite, organism etc is required for searching. For example ‘s’ can be used to search for all organisms starting with the letter ‘s’ and searching compounds for ‘aden’ returns adenine, adenosine, methyladenosine, etc.
Metabolite names and IDs: In many cases we are confident making a metabolite identification based on exact mass (+/- 5ppm), retention times vs. authentic standards retention times (+/-30s) and fragmentation spectra (presence of characteristic fragments). In these cases we use the common metabolite name, e.g. adenosine. In other cases, we have some evidence for making an assignment (e.g. partial fragmentation spectra) and we indicate this by putting the name in parentheses, e.g. (adenosine) or otherwise indicate whatever we feel we can say about the metabolite (hexos(amine) trisaccharide). The minimum identifier included in WoM is the chemical formula for a metabolite. Experimental information on the metabolite can be viewed by clicking on the metabolite within the table cell including the protocols used for analysis.
One Environment: This view allows the user to select a single environment and view both the metabolites present in an environment and compare the activities of organisms within this environment. Select an environment and either search for organisms or click on “Select all organisms in this environment” to see the list of all organisms associated with this environment.
Compatibility of organisms with the environment: provides a measure of the compatibility of an organism with the metabolites in an environment based on the number of metabolites in the environment that are acted upon by the microbe. The reference environment is displayed in yellow and is changed by clicking on the column heading. The compatibility of each organism vs. this environment is displayed following the name in the column heading.
(uptaken - released) / total.
Compatibility between organisms in one environment: If more than one organism is selected a simple analysis is automatically performed to compare the compatibility of the organisms with each other in the environment based on the number of correlated vs. anticorrelated metabolites normalized to the total number of uptaken or released metabolites. Here the reference organism is indicated in yellow and can be changed by clicking on it and the numbers displayed are relative to that organism. The score for each of the organisms vs. the reference microbe is displayed after the organisms name. A negative number suggests some competition for metabolites and a positive number suggest that the microbes may be compatible.
(anticorrelated - correlated) / (anticorrelated + correlated)
One Compound: This is the metabolite-centric view of the data that allows the user to view the activities of organisms or proteins associated with a single metabolite with three user defined inputs. First, select either ‘organism’ or ‘protein’. Second search for the compound of interest. Again partial searches can be used, i.e. searching for ‘a’ will return all names containing ‘a’. Third, select the environments of interest. Once this is done WoM will immediately display the activities for all organisms against this metabolite for the selected environments.
One Organism: This view allows the user view all assertions for a particular organism and generate a table of all metabolites across environments of interest. First, select the organism of interest. Second, select the environments and the WoM will generate the table of all assertions.
Upload: Currently only the NorthenLab is uploading data esp. given that relatively few labs are doing these types of experiments. We anticipate that at some point a small network of labs will all contribute data. Please email us if your group is interested in contributing data.
Errors: Please email firstname.lastname@example.org if you catch any errors and note that we are unable to provide any support for how to use or interpret WoM assertions.
Modeling efforts: We are working with the DOE KBase (kbase.us) such that data from the WoM repository can be linked to genomics, models etc within the KBase environment.

CREDIBLE elections are the gateway to democratic governance. Election credibility depends upon the quality of their legal framework, management structures and implementation processes. Given limited space, I will just focus on some critical issues under these three areas for the landmark 2013 elections.
The legal framework includes constitutional provisions and parliamentary acts specifying the elected institutions and offices; voting system; party, candidate and voter qualifications; and election body appointment and powers.
There was no controversy during these elections about the credibility of Pakistan’s federal, bicameral institutional design (except among Baloch insurgents) and little about the parliamentary system.
However, Pakistan’s ‘winner-takes-all’ voting system attracted some criticism. Such systems usually discourage smaller parties. But smaller parties thrive easily in Pakistan and larger parties actually struggle to attain majority. Thus, proportional representation, the main alternative, will further fragment Pakistani polity and increase political paralysis.
A more valid concern is that winner-takes-all systems allow candidates to win without attaining 50pc votes, a possibility enhanced by party proliferation. The Election Commission of Pakistan (ECP) had earlier proposed a ballot blank box option and re-elections in constituencies without outright winners.
Introducing this system without parliamentary approval was odd process-wise. More oddly, the blank box option actually makes outright wins more difficult while the re-election requirement can create an impasse if say 70-80 constituencies fail to elect outright winners and re-elections consume six to eight weeks.
Could parliament meet, meanwhile, with so many seats undecided? Luckily, this plan was abandoned.
Instead of having blank boxes and re-elections to identify people’s second preferences, it is better to require voters to also identify second-preference candidates during initial elections. These second preferences can immediately be counted for the top two vote-getters if no candidate wins outright, thus avoiding costly re-elections and long-drawn uncertainty.
Voter and candidate qualification requirements remain partly problematic. The degree requirement for candidates was fortunately eliminated earlier. The goal of having well-educated representatives can be attained better by offering crash courses to less-educated winners than by making so many Pakistanis ineligible.
However, the multiple, mutually contradictory, constitutional clauses regarding disqualification of wrongdoers created confusion. The most sensible of these clauses is 63(1-h), which mandates three clear disqualification principles: court conviction, serious crime (two years-plus imprisonment) and time-bound disqualification.
Other clauses eg about Pakistani ideology and righteousness, are vague and create unrealistic expectations of disqualifications based on mere accusations.
Furthermore, barring minorities from becoming president and prime minister violates constitutional provisions about equality of all citizens. Finally, barring dual citizens is controversial as there is no evidence that past dual-citizen parliamentarians proved less loyal than other parliamentarians.
Important post-2008 improvements in the legal framework significantly enhanced the independence of the election management structure, ie courts, caretakers and the ECP. This enhanced election credibility encouraged the Pakistan Tehreek-i-Insaf and Baloch nationalists to participate, unlike 2008. However, this independence merely provided these institutions the potential to ensure credible elections. One must also analyse how they used this independence in the implementation processes, including constituency delimitation; voter registration and education; candidate nomination; campaign management; balloting and results tabulation; and post-election dispute management.
Here, the performance is mixed, with some good initiatives mixed with frequent inter-institutional conflicts, weak decision-making and administrative inefficiencies.
The lack of a recent census constrained constituency delimitation. Problems were accentuated by the failure of the Supreme Court and the ECP to develop early consensus on interim measures.
Census data non-availability also hampered voter registration and it’s unclear to what extent the ECP’s recent registration exercise increased registration accuracy.
Endless disagreements on expatriate voting also enhanced registration problems, even though the Supreme Court’s early and reasonable directives were easily implementable before elections.
The ECP issued a laudable directive to encourage female voting but it should have followed-up with voter education in backward areas. Finally, the needless requirement to mention religion in voter registration forms even under joint electorates forced Ahmadis into a boycott.
The candidate disqualification process became controversial due to unclear constitutional provisions. However, recognising these constitutional anomalies, the ECP should have proactively issued clear directives to returning officers to reduce confusion.
The ECP was constrained in barring candidates even with widely alleged wrongdoings by the lack of convictions in complicated corruption cases. But, it could have requested the judiciary, the Federal Board of Revenue and utility companies to establish transparent speedy tribunals to decide simpler default cases. Currently, the rejection process seemed haphazard and inconsistent.
The ECP issued codes of conduct for candidates and journalists for managing the election campaign though their enforcement seems inconsistent. However, the biggest campaign management failure is the inability to provide security to parties, especially those targeted by militants.
It is difficult to assess the degree to which this would have skewed results given that the PPP and the Awami National Party, being unpopular incumbents, were already underdogs and the PPP furthermore faces a leadership vacuum.
Even so, even slight skewing, the large-scale deaths and the ensuing uncertainty are inexcusable given the early warnings issued by militants.
Without going into the results, the main problems in these stages ie vote stuffing, chaotic balloting and counting, and widespread rejection of results, did not appear to be predominate. The biggest fear has been the escalation of violence.
In summary, the conduct of the 2013 elections receives mixed grades. The positive is the increased independence of election bodies.
The weaknesses are their failure to effectively utilise this independence and legal anomalies.
Nevertheless, although repolling has been ordered in some constituencies, these elections may still qualify as among Pakistan’s more credible elections since many earlier ones were blatantly rigged.
Election bodies’ independence, often the most elusive requirement, provides strong potential for resolving the remaining issues for future elections.

Denver Fugitive Added to 10 Most Wanted List
KREX News Room
DENVER- A fugitive from Denver is now part of the FBI's 10 Most Wanted List.
Edwin Ernesto Rivera Gracias is wanted for his alleged involvement with the brutal murder of a family acquaintance in Jefferson County.
The 69-year-old victim was found beaten, stabbed and dumped on Lookout Mountain in August 2011.
Rivera Gracias is believed to be in El Salvador.
He is a member of the gang MS-13 and has ties to other gang members.
"We stand together all of us at every level of law enforcement here in Colorado and also nationally to urge the public if you see Rivera Gracias, if you have information about Mr. Rivera Gracias, please contact the FBI or local law enforcement if you actually see him physically," explained U.S. Attorney John Walsh.
The FBI is offering a reward of up to $100,000.
The last fugitive from Colorado to make the 10 Most Wanted List was serial killer Ted Bundy back in 1978. He was captured five days later.

During this arctic weather spell, I went by the Charlotte Mecklenburg Library to find some books on local history good or bad – well, more along the lines of what happens beneath the surface of our fair city. Well, I found two books, both published by The History Press of Charleston, South Carolina.
Wicked Charlotte, The Sordid Side of the Queen City by Stephanie Burt Williams (2006) explores crimes dating back to the American Revolution including murder, prostitution, bootlegging and larceny from the murder of a well known sheriff with ties to the area’s prominent families to Henry Louis Wallace, the city’s first black serial killer. She also explores the effects of the nation’s first gold rush on the region and how some people took advantage of other people in the pursuit of gold.
A sequel of sorts, Charlotte Murder, Mystery and Mayhem by David Aaron Moore (2008) explores more of the seedy underside of the city that the tourist books don’t tell you about. His stories range from a 13 year old church arsonist to a lynching that is that I never heard of until I read this book and touches on the 1965 firebombings of Fred Alexander and Dr. Reginald Hawkins.
Both of these books can be found at Park Road Books, located in the Park Road Shopping Center (which by the way was one of the first suburban shopping centers in Charlotte!) if they don’t have it in stock, they will be happy to order them for you.

Doctor Who actress Jodie Whittaker has revealed she was told to get a line in her forehead filled and her top lip waxed when she began acting.
Whittaker is the first woman to take on the title role in the BBC’s long-running science fiction series.
She made the comments to David Tennant, who played the 10th Doctor, on his new podcast.
Whittaker told Tennant she was glad she did not give in to early pressure to change her appearance.
The actress, who also starred with Tennant in ITV’s Broadchurch, said of her forehead: “I wouldn’t change it for the world and there are a lot of episodes where you’re squinting and I think if I didn’t have that frown line you wouldn’t know it was sunny.”
Whittaker continued: “I got asked to get my ‘tache waxed and I didn’t know I had one. It was translated to me in Hungarian, it was so funny”.”
She explained how she dealt with the request: “I said I would probably be allergic to the wax. I said ‘Sorry you will just have to colour it in’.”
Whittaker also quizzed Scottish actor Tennant on why he adopted an English accent when he played the Doctor.
Whittaker speaks in her native Huddersfield accent when playing her version of the Time Lord.
“Why in the world did you pick a different accent?”, she asked her host, who played the Doctor from 2005 to 2010.
Tennant said he used the same accent he had spoken with for the 2005 TV series Casanova, which was also written by his Doctor Who showrunner Russell T Davies.
He said: “Well, I’d just done Casanova with Russell and that’s how I’d spoken in Casanova. And that’s how they wanted it to be”.


Because of her tweets, actress Yvonne Nelson claims that persons close to President Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo no longer speak to her.
Ms. Nelson isn’t afraid to tweet about national issues and how the state’s administration and legislators are conducting things.
Some Ghanaians have said that she has been quiet and less critical of the Akufo-Addo administration than she was under the Mahama administration, but she denies this.
Her detractors, she claims, only want to see her in the streets, as she did during the NDC era with her iconic “Dumsor Must Stop” walk.
She stated that just because she is not out on the streets protesting this administration does not imply she is silent or less critical of it.
“I’m always talking about politics,” the multi-award-winning actress stated on Accra100.5FM.
They only want to see Yvonne Nelson out in front of the crowd demonstrating. So I did it during the NDC era, and I’ll have to do it again during the NPP era because that’s what they want to see, but it all started with social media.”

Lovely How to Make Wreaths - This is created by firstly bending a regular coat hanger into a circle. This is a great lead in the past the jacket hanger has a natural hook at the top which can be used to hang the wreath after it is completed. Differing strengths of wire can easily be purchased at your local hardware retailer. in the manner of you have 2 unconditional circles of wire associated together it can offer a surprisingly durable framework for heavier floral wreath materials such as pine cones, dried apples, or even evergreens. Thinner professional florist wiring should be used for a more delicate wreaths, for example, for making a crown of cherry blossoms or red peonies. If you want to camouflage the wire wreath base, you may want to attempt wrapping the wire later than decorative ribbon or compilation from a florist.
Creating one once a wire base will permit you to increase floral materials in clumps or small bundles. You do this by collection a bunch of flowers, and/or bits of greenery, and placing them onto the wire frame. You speedily follow that by using a thin, modifiable florist's wire to secure them in place. make smile note that you shouldn't attempt to cut the wire at this point, but rather overlap the joining part subsequent to surgically remove cluster of flowers and/or greens and continue to wrap your way, in a circular motion, more or less the entire frame.
There are some who select their poppy wreaths, whose materials are organized in a continuous circle, past all the clusters facing towards the similar direction. In order to utter this type wreath requires you to tuck the joining portion of the end cluster under the 1st cluster. Furthermore, in additional types of poppies wreaths, you may choose to play a part next to both sides to have the bundles meet at the bottom. like this particular arrangement, it will cause a bare spot to appear which can easily be covered occurring placing a ribbon or a braid/bow of your existing floral materials.
These are typically quite delicate and are often used for much lighter materials such as bird feathers or ivy leaves. One quirk with reference to this is to use a unadulterated piece of wire and thread it directly through larger materials such as red chillis or even apples, in a lengthwise position, to produce handsome and intriguing poppy wreaths.

Promise to stay safe over promPublished 11:27am Wednesday, March 20, 2013
Prom season is again upon us.
It’s probably one of the most exciting times for a high school senior. Not only does it mark the beginning of the end of their high school careers, but it’s also one of the moments that you never forget.
Last Friday night, I began noticing my Facebook news feed begin to get flooded with portraits of students all dressed up for Falkville’s prom.
I expect that will happen and more this Friday night when Hartselle’s prom is scheduled.
While it’s one of the most exciting times for these students who are finishing their high school careers, it could also be one of the scariest nights for parents.
We have all heard tragic stories of how many teens’ lives have been cut short because they decided to drink and drive on their prom night. That’s the reason why Falkville High School held a Prom Promise rally at its school last week before the school prom.
I’m also sure that view has been reinforced by youth leaders around our community.
I’m not going to debate whether or not students should be drinking because that’s a moot point for me. High schoolers do find ways to drink. It happens and there’s no way to completely stop that.
However, one thing that we can prevent is students making the decision to drink and drive. Before the prom gets here this Friday have a plan of action. If you’re going to drink, have a designated driver who will drive you back home.
If not that, have some other plan to make sure you stay safe.
The last thing I want to do on Saturday morning is having to write a story about one of our seniors dying from a drunken driver crash.
Brent Maze is the managing editor of the Hartselle Enquirer.

The Stand by Stephen King is my favorite book of all time. It’s a book I’ve read over and over again at various times in my life, in many different versions. At one time I even had a first edition (pictured above) that I sold.
If you haven’t read the book stop everything, and read it. Now.
The first attempt in 1994 to produce a mini-series was just okay. There were things I liked about the production and things I didn’t. Gary Sinise was perfect as Stu Redman. Molly Ringwald was annoying and whiny as Fran Goldsmith. Jamey Sheridan was a great Randall Flagg and I loved Bill Fagerbakke as Tom Cullen. I’ve watched it several times over the years and I just wish it could be better.
One of the few bright spots to 2020 was the anticipation of the new limited series on CBS All Access based on Stephen King’s The Stand. I looked at the cast and I liked that most of the names were unfamiliar to me. I still think to do the book justice, it needed to be longer than it’s currently set for, but I’m very interested in it.
I will be doing write-ups of each episode, comparing it to both the other mini-series and the book. I actually watched the first one already, so this is a bit of a prequel to those write-ups. There will be spoilers if you haven’t read the book (which is another reason to read it), but the story has been out since 1978 now, so you should have read it.

This Honors Project examines the ways in which the literature of the Algerian author Maïssa Bey serves as a testimony that explores the trauma and violence of wars in Algeria. My overarching question was “What is the fragmented and polyphonic writing of Maïssa Bey reflective of?” Although Bey is positioned in the littérature d’urgence, a journalistic literary movement that developed during the Algerian civil war, I show that the ways in which she represents violence and trauma differ from the representations of her contemporaries. I explore the ideas of fragmentation and polyphony through the work of Gérard Genette, Mikhail Bakhtin, psychiatrists, and intellectuals in the field of trauma studies. I turn to three novels written during and after the Algerian civil war and show that Maïssa Bey’s use of fragmentation portrays the instability experienced by Algerians during wartime. Her fragmented writing also nuances the different forms of violence experienced by Algerians, focusing particularly on the physical and psychological forms of violence. The polyphonic narratives she constructs ensure that she includes marginalized and silenced voices, which are often excluded from historiography. Her use of polyphony allows her to reiterate the importance of literature and stories as a cathartic medium to address and overcome political violence. Bey’s writing is particularly important for Algerian literature, trauma studies, and postcolonial literature. Ultimately, Maïssa Bey’s writing favors the act of storytelling to shape communities that can collectively address and overcome the trauma and violence experienced by Algerians during the war of Independence and the civil war.

Touring across Australia is now considerably easier for bands and solo artists thanks to a new landmark deal struck between national body The Australian Music Industry Network (AMIN) and Virgin Australia.
Both bodies have decided to make an exclusive deal with the music industry that includes a 32kg baggage allowance (across three pieces of checked baggage) for individual artists. One may also purchase an additional 32kg for only $15 extra.
The new initiative aims to address the ongoing problems musicians face financially when travelling with music equipment.
The announcement was first made by Virgin Australia’s group executive Robert Tanner at the official opening of Brisbane’s Big Sound conference. Tanner explained that the airline working with the music industry is a natural fit.
“Ours is a brand that has a long and historic association with music,” Mr Tanner says. “It has been a pleasure to work with the industry to develop a solution that will deliver real tangible benefits to Australian artists on a daily basis.”
Q Music Executive Officer and AMIN Director Denise Foley says this agreement will have a major impact on the ability of Australian artists to tour more often and more cost effectively.
“Dealing with high and inconsistent excess baggage charges has been a burning issue across the music industry for many years,” Ms Foley says. “And Virgin Australia should be congratulated for having the willingness to not only listen to the industry’s concerns, but actually putting in place a system that addresses the problem. The impact of this new deal for artists will be significant and ongoing.”
Ms Foley explains: “That approach will encourage artists and industry to become more actively involved in the many not-for-profit music organisations doing amazing work within our sector across the country.”
The following key music organisations also contributed to the development of this new deal: Association of Artist Managers (AAM); Australian Independent Record Labels Association (AIR); The Australasian Performing Right Association : The Australasian Mechanical Copyright Owners Society (APRA:AMCOS ); Live Performance Australia (LPA); Music Council of Australia (MCA); and Symphony Australia – alongside AMIN’s member organisations Queensland Music Network; Contemporary Music Services Tasmania (CMST); Music NSW; Music NT; Music Victoria and The Western Australian Music Industry Association (WAM).

Let's be real here: fashion week in New York isn't known for its super-sexiness. Sure, there are models and cleavage and the odd nipple here and there, but most designers who are showing on schedule aren't aiming to whip you into a va-va-voom T&A frenzy. So we were surprised that last night's Kevork Kiledjian spring 2012 show put on such an aggressive display of sexuality—skintight super-mini strapless leather dresses, ultra-shiny body-skimming pieces, totally sheer and clingy maxi-dresses, mesh and lace panels.
Called "Hear Me Roar," the spring collection is touted as "an interpretation of sumatra, a new experience of the culture, flora and fauna... the collection's body-conscious shapes feel entirely new and modern." Check out 12 more sexy Kevork Kiledjian looks and our runway finale video after the jump.
