US Bachelor contestant puts on fake Australia accent 0:23
A contestant on the US Bachelor has used a fake Australian accent to try and 'stand out' from the other girls.
Bachelor contestants have done a lot of dumb stuff to get the attention of their assigned suitor. There's been poems, gymnastics, baby goats, taxidermied mice... But a contestant on the upcoming US season of The Bachelor has reached a new low.
Bri Barnes greeted American Bachie Colton Underwood with an Aussie accent - a completely fake one she likely spent about six minutes practising in the limo beforehand. And if you're only going to watch one thing today, make it this.
“You’ve got a nice accent. Where are you from?” the All-American beefcake asked his potential rose recipient. To which she replied “Um, the accent, it’s Australian,”.
To her credit, it's not technically a lie. She never said she was Australian, just the accent. Although she could have also replied 'New Zealand' or 'South African' and still have described the accent just as inaccurately.
The most hilarious part of the video is the cut to her piece-to-camera, where with a voice as American as eagles and bagels she confesses “I’m not really Australian but you have to do what you can to stand out.”
Naturally, Twitter has quickly jumped onboard to take the absolute piss.
This Bach-shit crazy stunt has us all desperate to find out just how long she can keep it up.
The heinous attempt at an Aussie accent has been an excellent way to drum up excitement for the 23rd season of the American dating show.
Star of the upcoming season Colton Underwood is no stranger to she show, having appeared on both The Bachelorette and The Bachelor in Paradise in the past.
The former footy star is most well known for admitting that he is still a virgin. So in classic US style, this season is sure to be brimming with cliches, catfights and cringey moments.

OGDEN — An Ogden man charged with voyeurism for allegedly entering women's bathrooms at Weber State University with his cellphone is a convicted sex offender, police say.
Anthony Ray Sunford, 36, was charged Dec. 31 in Ogden Justice Court with four counts of voyeurism, a class B misdemeanor.
According to the Utah Sex Offender Registry, Sunford was previously convicted of attempted rape in California in 2010, and was in the military when he was convicted of attempted rape in 2005.
In the most recent incident, Sunford is accused of entering the Wildcat Center for Health Education and Wellness on the WSU campus on Dec. 13 using his student ID.
"Anthony informed the worker at the front desk that he was at the gym because he wanted to use the bathroom, stating that the bathrooms at the gym are 'cleaner,'" according to a search warrant affidavit filed in 2nd District Court.
But surveillance video later obtained by investigators shows Sunford holding what appears to be a cellphone near the women's restroom, according to the warrant.
"He seemingly waits for individuals to pass by him, he looks in both directions as if he is ensuring that there is no one around and then he turns around and enters the women's bathroom," the affidavit says.
The surveillance video shows Sunford entered the women's restroom the first time for approximately 2 ½ minutes, according to investigators.
On Dec. 18, Sunford again entered the Wildcat Center and went to the women's bathroom, this time entering for 17 minutes, the warrant states.
"Anthony is seen via video surveillance exiting the women's bathroom with his cellphone in his left hand. The cellphone appears to be in a mode such that the camera is open. An unknown woman follows Anthony out of the bathroom and is seemingly concerned. Anthony walks towards the east side of the gym and continually glances back appearing to see if the woman was following him," investigators wrote in the warrant.
Weber State police began investigating and obtained Sunford's name by checking records of who had checked into the gym.
"Anthony is a known sex offender out of the state of California. He was charged and convicted of attempted rape both in California and by the military according to his local file," the officer noted.
According to a February 2010 article in the Appeal-Democrat in Marysville, California, Sunford entered a Yuba City, California, business with the intent of raping a 24-year-old woman who was working alone. He had moved to the area about three weeks earlier but failed to register as a sex offender, according to the article.
The newspaper story also mentioned that at the time, "Sunford was a registered sex offender in another state in connection with an offense committed on a military base."
Sunford is scheduled to be arraigned on his current charge in Weber County on Jan. 15.
Weber State spokeswoman Allison Barlow Hess confirmed Thursday that Sunford is a part-time student at the university who enrolled in the fall.
When a student is on the sex offender registry, she said Adult Probation and Parole will notify the school that a person intends on attending classes at WSU. In this case, Hess said the agency did notify school administrators of Sunford's sex offender status when he enrolled.
Although he is still a registered sex offender, Hess said he was no longer on parole, which meant he did not have any restrictions about where he could go on campus or who, he could have contact with.
After his arrest, WSU banned Sunford from campus, she said.


New Training: Understand MPLS Foundations
In this 9-video skill, CBT Nuggets trainer Knox Hutchinson explores how MPLS and the label signaling protocols really work. Watch this new Juniper training.
Watch the full course: Service Provider Routing and Switching Specialist
This training includes:
1 hour of training
You’ll learn these topics in this skill:
The Benefits of MPLS
The Concept of Pseudowires
MPLS Packet Flows and Key Terms
A Closer Look at the Penultimate Hop
Enabling MPLS on Junos
Configure a Static LSP
What Signaling Protocols Do
Can MPLS Supercharge Your Network Performance?
MPLS stands for multi-protocol label switching. It's a technology primarily used in telecommunication networks. Why, though?
MPLS is fast. Unlike traditional forms of software-based routing, the MPLS protocol doesn't need to perform complex lookups on network routing tables. Instead, short labels are used to identify transport routes. That means MPLS can skip using routing table lookups altogether.
That also means that MPLS can be more reliable. Because MPLS doesn't use routing tables, there's a reduced likelihood of data being sent to the wrong place or having to traverse unneeded paths.
This is why MPLS has become the go-to standard for telecommunication environments. The speed and reliability of using MPLS are critical for mechanisms that need fast data transport such as video conferencing applications or VPN connections. It doesn't hurt that MPLS can be used with a variety of networking technologies such as Ethernet or PPP, too. That makes MPLS more robust than things like TCP/IP.

We all know that this Diwali and Christmas we have some really big movies coming up in the lineup. However, there is one more movie that might come in as surprise packet for the audiences and that is Aazaan. Although, the movie is not aggressively marketed all over India as other movies like Ra One and Rockstar but the producers and directors feel that the movie script itself will bringin more people because the story talks about how Indian Intelligence people work under dangerous situations to make sure that we can sleep peacefully at night.
Aazaan also changes the mindset of typical Bollywood movie makers and this time the enemy in the movie is China instead of the regular Pakistani terrorism. This means that certain section of the country might get bit offended that China is being dragged into controversy now. However, the team of Aazaan claims that they have done extensive research before they were writing the story and they have talked to various Indian Intelligence people as well that claim that the bigger threat comes from China and not Pakistan because China supports Pakistan silently. However, the actor also claims that the movie is not pro-Pakistan.
Sachiin also confirmed that the movie talks about how Indian Intelligence people have to work hard to gather information from dangerous people and how we blame them when they miss out and terrorist strikes in our country. He said that the action in the movie is really great and that will bring in more audiences for sure but the different story line will also keep the audiences on the edge of the seat because the story line is not the same India Pakistan tension and some patriotic songs added to it. The actor believes that with Aazaan people will know what it takes to secure a country like India.

During the earthquake of 2015, 90% of 500 schools of Gorkha district were destroyed. NJSI had supported eleven schools of remote Gorkha through building reconstruction, toilet construction, teachers’ training and furniture distribution.
On 6th of June, a team of NJSI revisited eight schools to monitor the application of the support: Jalamukhi Primary School, Janashakti School, Baraha School, Saurpani School, Bardi Danda School, Siddartha School, Saptakanya School and Muldevi School. Though the team had to face complications crossing huge river and driving through dense mud, they felt blissful to observe more than 500 students happily attaining education in safe buildings. In most of the schools, toilets and furniture were well maintained and used.
The team was welcomed with appreciative programs and interactions. It was also impressive to learn five out of eight schools were led by female principals.

Cold Stone Creamery's Banana Bread Batter Ice Cream Will Put You In The Mood For Fall
When it comes to ice cream, any day of the year is fair game. In my opinion, 80 degree weather is just an excuse to consume my frozen concoction even faster to keep it from melting. TBH, I'll also happily bundle up in a cozy sweater (or a parka) to enjoy a cone when winter comes around. Needless to say, I was more than a little excited by Cold Stone Creamery's Banana Bread Batter Ice Cream and all of the other delicious flavors that the retailer is offering to welcome the changing seasons. The new flavors include blue marshmallows, rainbow chocolate chips, and even a mash-up of a cake and a pie (Um, what?!), and my ice cream-loving heart is so ready.
Scoop enthusiasts, prepare your taste buds, because not one, but three new ice cream flavors are coming to your local Cold Stone Creamery starting Wednesday, Aug. 29, according to a press release. Each of the new options sounds more delicious than the last, but let me start with the one that really caught my eye: Banana Bread Batter Ice Cream. As someone who appreciates the fact that it's now socially acceptable to consume cookie and cake batter in public, this half-baked flavor sounds like it's sure to be one of my favorites.
I also love the nostalgia element. It's hard to find time to bake cookies, let alone banana bread, and this flavor will make you feel like you're a kid again and licking the spoon when grandma isn't looking. The recipe sounds legit: According to the press release, Almost Baked Banana Bread comes with chunks of banana, pecans, and cinnamon are swirled into the banana bread batter ice cream — and I'm already salivating.
Another option that I'd love to try is the Sweet & Salty Twist, which, you guessed it, is all about the weirdly delicious combination of sweet and savory. Per the press release, Sea Salt Caramel Ice Cream, which happens to be made with Ghirardelli Chocolate, is then mixed with a Ghirardelli Milk Chocolate Caramel Square and their Sea Salt Caramel, as well as pretzels for some extra salt and crunch amidst all that chocolate.
The other ice cream flavor, Blue Arctic Marshmallow Ice Cream, serves as the base for the Yummy Yeti Confetti and Migo's Marshmallow Medley Milkshake. They sound pretty similar (both feature rainbow chocolate chips), but the Yummy Yeti Confetti is garnished with marshmallows and powdered sugar while the milkshake is crowned with whipped cream.
The last new menu item on the press release might be the item that I'm most intrigued by. According to Cold Stone Creamery, its "PieScream" cake is basically a mash-up of a cake and a pie — and it's probably totally delicious. Apparently the concoction starts with a Graham Cracker Pie Crust, which is then filled with layers of sweet and salty Sea Salt Caramel Ice Cream and the yellow cake you know and love from your childhood. The whole dessert is then topped with white frosting and Ghirardelli Sea Salt Caramel. It definitely sounds like more of an ice cream cake than a pie, but I'm totally fine with that.
Unfortunately, even if you're down to get some frozen treats any day of the year, the three new ice cream flavors are only available for a limited time. You only have until Nov. 27 to get your fix of these fun fall flavors, so I'd hurry in to your local Cold Stone Creamery and get your ice cream craving satisfied ASAP.

Just a day after the arrival of ExoMars Trace Gas Orbiter and its lander Schiaparelli, Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter has taken a photo of the landing site with its Context Camera, and things do not look good.
The fate of the ExoMars lander, Schiaparelli, remains uncertain. European Space Agency mission controllers had been optimistic on Wednesday night that a definitive answer would be known by Thursday morning’s news briefing. However, although some more details have been made public about the lander’s descent, it is not yet clear whether it hit the martian surface at a speed it could not survive.
Today, the Opportunity rover attempted a difficult, never-before-possible feat: to shoot a photo of an arriving Mars lander from the Martian surface. Unfortunately, that attempt seems not to have succeeded. Opportunity has now returned the images from the observation attempt, but Schiaparelli is not visible.
The third-largest object known beyond Neptune, 2007 OR10, has a moon. The discovery was reported in a poster by Gábor Marton, Csaba Kiss, and Thomas Mueller at the joint meeting of the European Planetary Science Congress and the Division for Planetary Sciences of the American Astronomical Society (DPS/EPSC) on Monday.
The Juno mission posted a status report late Friday afternoon, indicating that they will not perform the originally planned period reduction maneuver during their next perijove (closest approach to Jupiter) on October 19. The delay changes the start date of the science mission and also all the future dates of Juno's perijoves.

There is an unfortunate reality in any business: You will have to deal with credit card fraud. The pain of credit card fraud is born out by credit card fraud statistics, which have noted the extreme rise in credit card fraud that Americans across the country suffer. Indeed, the rise of internet commerce, card not present transactions, and data breaches have only made these issues worse. If you are a business, you must keep these fraud charges to a minimum to your customers, your merchant account processors, and yourself.
Let’s look at some of the significant statistics involving credit card fraud. From there, we can review what your business can do to stop fraud and protect your customers.
Credit Card Fraud Losses Are in the Billions
According to J.P. Morgan, the statistics are massive, and the number of reports of credit card fraud is expected to rise in the future. For example, 86% of consumers were victims of credit card fraud or identity theft. The same report noted various scams that people fell victim to, including having their debit card or credit card accounts hacked, being tricked by fraudsters into giving up personal information or losing valuable credit card information via eCommerce sites.
The Federal Trade Commission (FTC) has made similar reports: In 2020, consumers lost $3.3 billion due to credit card fraud. This statistic is horrifying enough, but consider the related statistic: That’s an increase of $1.5 billion over the last year!
As noted by the Nilson Report, these numbers are even worse. Consider:
- $28.6 billion was lost across the entire world in 2020 due to all types of fraud.
- Of that massive number, 35.8% of those losses occurred in the U.S.
- The situation is only getting worse: New reports estimate that there will be a projected loss of $408 billion over the next ten years. Hundreds of billions will disappear from hard-working people due to credit card fraud.
Many Scams Are A Result of Identity Theft
Identity theft is a common problem for many of these fraudulent accounts. According to statistics, identity theft reports are on the rise: In 2021, the Federal Trade Commission received 1.4 million reports of identity theft. The massive surge in identity theft cases means that everyone — from individuals to businesses — must keep an eye on this fraud. Indeed, current estimates hold that the number of identity theft cases will only rise over the next few years.
Identity theft occurs when someone can successfully impersonate another person by acquiring sensitive data, such as a social security number, credit card number, or other account numbers. They can open new bank accounts, payment cards, and credit cards. They can also take out loans in the name of the victim who they scammed. Identity theft can ruin someone’s credit, damage their credit report, and cost months of heartache.
Identity theft can be tough to stop from a business perspective, mainly if it is a case of card not present (CNP) fraud. In this case, you accept a charge without the card being physically present. CNP charges happen when a charge is made over the internet or if someone gives you a credit card number over the phone. Credit card fraud is more likely in these instances because it can be harder to engage in traditional methods of verification, like matching signatures or providing identification.
In instances like this, the merchant account vendor you work with is critical. You have to work with a vendor to limit expenses, provide fraud reports, and delete any new accounts that may have been inappropriately opened in someone’s name. Thankfully, if you work with the right vendor, you can get all of these issues addressed. At Bankcard, we pride ourselves on our robust security and integration options, even for businesses that have been tagged as high-risk. As a result, we can work with you to develop an affordable and secure solution.
There Are Many Types of Scams
As a business, you likely know that many scams exist. Unfortunately, these scams are easy to miss and often hard to resolve. According to a 2021 survey, the most likely cons are as follows.
Identity fraud scams are among the most popular types of scams. Indeed, they are so popular that the following section will review these issues in more depth. However, businesses should know that there are many forms of identity theft. In all these cases, an imposter will impersonate someone and gain access to their credit, potentially opening a new credit card. This type of credit card fraud is among the most prevalent, and your business should appropriately incorporate strategies to reduce it whenever possible. These fraud cases are particularly prevalent among certain people, including the elderly and the very young.
A study by Javelin Strategy noted that COVID-19 led to a significant rise in losses related directly to digital wallets, ecommerce, and other peer-to-peer networks. These types of wallets, while popular, are often less than ideal from a security perspective. Therefore, if your business does accept cryptocurrency, you should ensure that you use a processor that can give you high-security protections and reasonable fees. Fortunately, at Bankcard, we offer such a service, giving merchants access to a world-class cryptocurrency payment gateway.
Phishing is also a prevalent type of identity theft. In phishing, someone will contact a person digitally, pretend to be someone else, and then obtain their credit card information or scam them out of money. Then, that information will be used to rack up a slew of fraudulent charges.
Some Businesses Are More Susceptible To Fraud
Unfortunately, these scams are more likely in some types of businesses — particularly high-risk businesses. This is because customers are often not careful enough with their data, or others in the industry don’t take the security of their customers seriously enough. Thankfully, you don’t have to fall into that trap, and your business can protect its customer’s data, even if it’s high-risk.
According to estimates, travel, leisure, and gaming are the industries most likely to see credit card fraud. Consider the following:
- Fraud in the travel industry increased 30% in 2020 compared to 2019.
- Travel and leisure saw an increase in fraud of 155.9% in 2021.
- Gaming saw the biggest rate of fraud increase of any industry in 2021, with fraud attempts jumping 393%.
This is the case for many reasons, including:
- The shift to a digital and ecommerce-based economy has made it much easier for cybercriminals to get your credit card and spend your money or sell it to others on the dark web.
- The nature of the travel industry — as well as many types of leisure and gaming industries — tends to be foreign-based. In some cases, these companies do not have the robust security protections as many businesses within the United States, nor do they have a government that is as dedicated to cracking down against credit card fraud.
- Much of this rise has been attributed to the pandemic and COVID-related changes in buying patterns. People shopped more online, which allowed for identity theft to occur more frequently. Furthermore, as supply chains became more stressed, people were more likely to use insecure websites when making a purchase. These pressures made it much easier for people to steal credit cards.
- The age group that is used by all three of these industries tends to skew younger. Unfortunately, younger people are more likely to become victims of identity theft and credit card fraud. Furthermore, younger people tend to be less likely to review credit reports with the major credit bureaus regularly. As a result, individuals may not realize that they have become the victims of fraud and realize that they need to connect with their credit card company as soon as possible.
This helps to explain why many components of travel, leisure, and subscription-based gaming are among the most viable businesses to be declared high-risk businesses. A high-risk business means that business is a business that has a higher than average rate of fraud. When there’s fraud, a credit card will have to issue a chargeback, meaning that they will have to investigate if fraud occurred, then reverse the charges. Staff time and processing expenses are associated with these issues, which means that vendors who have to endure chargebacks will lose money.
As a result, many businesses are declared high-risk companies. High-risk businesses are charged higher flat fees and higher charges per transaction. They will also have to provide additional information when applying for merchant processing services, including more reserve money, a credit score, a longer application process, bank account statements, and more.
This means that you have to work with a merchant account processor who understands your needs and your high-risk business. At Bankcard, we’ve been working with high-risk businesses for decades, helping them proactively identify ways to better secure their customer’s data and ensure that all businesses — even high-risk ones — have affordable access to merchant processing solutions.
What Your Business Can Do
Fortunately, no business is powerless, and every business can engage in extensive efforts to reduce chargebacks.
First, ensure you don’t create situations where your customers misidentify fraud. You can do this by updating your business billing descriptions. This billing description is written in an online or printed statement that a cardholder receives. Having this information be as descriptive as possible means that when customers look at their existing accounts, they’ll recognize a statement. At a minimum, they’ll be able to trace who the charge was from and then likely determine if it was an authorized or unauthorized charge. This protects retailers, ecommerce, and other point-of-sale merchants by ensuring that customers don’t accidentally get a chargeback issued for a legitimately incurred charge.
Next, ensure your point-of-sale equipment and online shopping vehicles are as secure as possible. Use the latest security, and work with a vendor who can provide you with this information to prevent account fraud. Unfortunately, there are countless cases in which credit card data is stolen from customers, then used by a hacker, or sold on the dark web. Working to secure credit card numbers, protect your data and reduce fraudulent activity can all be done, provided you are updating your security information.
Related: If you store customer information, make sure that information is secure. The number of data breaches has been on the rise lately: As of June 2022, 45% of all United States companies had experienced some data breach. In many cases, the information stolen by hackers and scammers was deeply personal, private financial records. Indeed, many fraud victims had their information stolen from a business. As such, you must do whatever you can to protect the data of your customers and alert them if their data is stolen. Some states, like California, have set procedures about what a business must do if they suffer a data breach. Make sure you are aware of these laws and respond appropriately.
Finally, be aware of common scams, and pay attention to the news. For example, suppose someone comes into your business to buy hundreds or thousands of gift cards. In that case, they may be the victim of a common scam in which cybercriminals use trickery to convince a person that their computer has been hacked or that they will be arrested if they don’t make a significant payment with a gift card. These scams are constantly shifting, and it is incumbent upon your business to pay attention to them to protect your customers.
Your business deserves the best in credit card processing, including a vendor that uses the most robust security measures while still offering your business an affordable price, even if you are a high-risk business. That’s Bankcard. At Bankcard, we can work with you on an array of services, ensuring that you have credit card processing that is safe, secure, and affordable. Want more information?

U.S.S. Etzel NCC-0509
In the 2240s, the Etzel suffered a failure with the ship's dilithium scrubbers that stumped even the ship's chief engineer. The captain was forced to call for help, which was provided by a young engineer from a passing freighter, Montgomery Scott. The captain recommended Scott to her friend, Commander Alexander Marcus, for acceptance to Starfleet Academy.

In 1984 Lee W. Richardson wrote an article published in North Georgia Journal(Vol. 1, Summer,1984) about 5 brothers who "arrived in Georgia by way of northern Ireland and Lancaster County, Pa. about 1745." After migrating to N.Carolina the brothers fought in the Rev. War and thus qualified for bounty land in Georgia.
The land they found (between 1786-1792), was in Greene Co., Ga. One of the brothers named Alexander had a son named Templeton who became a "skilled silversmith" and "The first record we have of young Templeton . . . is a card in the Milledgeville ArgusAug. 10, 1813, wherein he advertises from Putnam County that he repairs watches . . . "
My ancestor, Babsy Reid, married in 1800, Greene Co., Ga,. Robert Adair. In addition to sharing a common time period in the same Greene Co., Ga., Babsy Reid has a grandson named William Templeton Adair.
My goal is to find a possible connection between Babsy Reid(probably born c1785) and descendents of one of those Reid brothers who came to Greene Co., Ga. All suggestions appreciated.

The direct-interaction picture of the action of denaturants receives some support from a study by Santosh Kumar Jha and Susan Marqusee of UC Berkeley (PNAS 111, 4856; 2014 – paper here). They look at the denaturing activity of guanidinium chloride on RNase H using FRET, UV CD and kinetic measurements. They find that the initial stage of unfolding involves a fast transition to a dry molten globule, showing that it entails denaturant interactions that do not affect the solvent-accessible surface area or disrupt the hydrophobic core. It is hard to square this with any idea that GdmCl acts, at least initially, via some kind of destabilization of hydrophobic interactions.
Benjamin Schuler at the University of Zurich and coworkers also use FRET to study solvation effects on conformational changes, in this case looking at the temperature-dependent collapse of five intrinsically disordered proteins (R. Wuttke et al., PNAS 111, 5213; 2014 – paper here). These proteins become more compact as the temperature is raised. Naively this might argue for a hydrophobic, entropically driven mechanism of collapse, but the researchers argue that it’s not that simple, not least because the effect is strongest for the most hydrophilic IDP. They say that this implies a dominant contribution from temperature-dependent solvation changes for charged and polar residues, although it seems the details of that phenomenon remain to be elucidated.
There are, broadly speaking, two kinds of IDPs. One type (group a) is completely disordered, the other (group b) has regions of defined secondary structure connected by disordered stretches. Nidhi Rawat and Parbati Biswas of the University of Delhi have compared the dynamics of intermolecular and intramolecular hydrogen bonds for the two cases using MD (J. Phys. Chem. B 118, 3018; 2014 – paper here). They find that both exhibit rather similar dynamics, in both cases with the intramolecular H-bonds rather longer-lived than the intermolecular ones. But the former are somewhat more persistent in group b IDPs – perhaps as one would expect from their higher degree of structure.
Terahertz spectroscopy as a means of understanding picosecond and nanometre-scale hydration dynamics have been pioneered by Martina Havenith and her coworkers at Bochum (from where I am at this very moment returning, if the extraordinary summer storms permit…). But it has been challenging to correlate particular spectral features in this frequency range with particular molecular-scale motions. By combining THz measurements with ab initio MD simulations conducted by Dominik Marx, the Bochum group has now been able to make this connection for the case of glycine, using heavy water to identify distinct intramolecular and intermolecular vibrations, rotations and translations involving interfacial water (J. Sun et al., JACS 136, 5031; 2014 – paper here).
Proof that the RESOLV summer school in Bochum was electrifying...
It was a pleasure to meet Roland Winter again on this trip. His group at Dortmund, with collaborators in Maryland, have used neutron spin echo spectroscopy to study solvent effects on the formation of amyloid fibrils by (bovine) insulin, which happens in the presence of sodium chloride (M. Erlkamp et al., J. Phys. Chem. B 118, 3310; 2014 – paper here). They find that solvent conditions (pH, salt concentration) that promote aggregation support self-diffusion of insulin, which suggests the absence of strong concentration gradients, whereas when fibril formation is suppressed, diffusion displays the collective character diagnostic of strong concentration fluctuations. Does this seem counterintuitive to you? It does to me. But I think I see the point that stronger fluctuations imply a ‘softer’, low-compressibility system in which intermolecular interactions are rather weak.
Ariel Fernández has previously argued (J. Chem. Phys. 139, 085101; 2013) that the normal picture of the electrostatics of hydration first developed by Debye, in which water dipoles tend to align themselves with the electrostatic field, can break down at protein surfaces when sub-nanometre curvature and/or chemical heterogeneity produces constraints and frustration, leading to defects in the matrix of water-water interactions. These in turn introduces an anomalous polarization orthogonal to the electric field. During protein folding, water molecules that introduce these anomalies are driven away from the interface to minimize electrostatic energy, leaving water-exposed hydrogen-bonding groups on the protein backbone called dehydrons. In a preprint, Fernández now argues that this energy minimization drives the folding process, and that it leads to the healing of packing defects as the protein folds. The torque exerted by the protein’s electrostatic field on the water molecules at these defects inhibits water reorientation. Fernández suggests that antifreeze proteins have a particularly high density of such defects, and the resulting hindrance of water reorientation prevents the nucleation of ice at these sites.
More active water networks: Kakali Sen and Walter Thiel at the MPI für Kohlenforschung at Mülheim find using MD and quantum chemical simulations that the mechanism of the P450 enzyme CPY107A1, which catalyses a hydroxylation, involves two water networks at the active site (J. Phys. Chem. B 118, 2810; 2014 – paper here). At least one of them, based around residue E360, is involved in proton transfer to enable activation of molecular oxygen at the Fe(II) reactive site.
And again: a water wire supports proton translocation in Complex I, in which this proton pumping is redox-driven by being coupled to the movement of electrons from NADH to quinones: the first step in the mitochondrial and bacterial respiratory process. That’s the conclusion of a simulation study by Gerhard Hummer at NIH and colleagues (V. R. I. Kaila et al., PNAS 111, 6988; 2014 – paper here). The results are based on the crystal structure of Complex I from E. coli, and they imply that the water channel is formed by the cooperative hydration of three antiporter-like subunits within the membrane domain of the complex. The researchers argue that their results “suggest that water-gated transitions may provide a general mechanism for proton-pumping in biological energy conversion enzymes”, such as bacteriorhodopsin and cytochrome c oxidase.
OK, so we know that hydrated proteins can undergo a glass-like transition at low temperatures. But can essentially dry proteins do the same thing? That question is explored by Anna Frontzek at the A. F. Ioffe Physical Technical Institute of the Russian Federation in St Petersburg and colleagues (A. Frotnzek et al., J. Phys. Chem. B 118, 2796; 2014 – paper here). They look at BSA at a hydration of just 0.04 and find anomalous relaxational dynamics around 250 K, indicative of a glass-like transition even in the absence of significant hydration water.

The government’s fiscal strategy for next year is appropriate, according to the Irish Fiscal Advisory Council (IFAC), but it has stepped up its warnings about the need to prepare for longer-term – and largely unavoidable – pressures on expenses. The aging of the population and the need to spend massively to combat climate change will have a major impact on public finances in the years to come, while at the same time tax revenues from polluting cars and fuels will fall sharply. Meanwhile, long-standing concerns about corporate tax risks remain.
Urged in recent years by IFAC, the government has pushed the budget into surplus and is now setting aside significant sums in a national reserve fund, partly in recognition that the extraordinary increase in the societies could begin to calm down.
The council’s latest estimate in a new tax assessment report is that some €9bn of the €21bn and more likely to be levied in corporation tax this year could be classed as income “unpredictable”. Without this cash, public finances would be in deficit. Ironically, it is entirely possible that corporate tax receipts for this year will exceed even the updated estimates. But with tech earnings under pressure and slowing economic growth, there is reason to be cautious in the years ahead.
IFAC believes the government has responded appropriately in developing its budget for next year, including significant support plans for households in response to the energy crisis. Many are temporary – although the government may come under pressure to extend them.
However, he is concerned about the long term and said the government now needs to plan more realistically for the financial pressures looming in the years to come – and those are significant. Population aging will lead to increased spending on pensions, health care and social assistance. The cost of climate change to the public purse will be significant under a number of headings. And, as the report points out, the government has not yet defined the total cost of the Sláintecare project. The recent decision to maintain the retirement age at 66 also has a significant longer-term cost, placing a burden on taxpayers for a long time.
By limiting its budget forecasts to the next three years, the government avoids having to deal with the implications of these longer-term issues. Having been hit first by the Covid pandemic and then by the war in Ukraine and the cost of living crisis, this is perhaps understandable. But IFAC warns that by 2024/2025 additional revenue may be needed if the real level of service spending is not to fall or borrowing to increase again. The rise in corporation tax has enabled Irish politics to avoid these problems. It will soon be time to face them.

Singles were once regarded solely as promotion for albums however digital downloads, streaming and YouTube have given singles a whole new lease of life, independent from the albums from whence they came. That said, singles still work as promotional items for albums and nothing works better (especially on radio) than a single which heralds the release of an album. It’s classic music marketing.
Compared to our album sales, we don’t sell a lot of singles. We know from experience that our fans aren’t that bothered about them, they want the full package and that is fine by us. What we’re therefore doing for this album is getting fans to pre-order the album and they will be instantly ‘gifted’ a track. This should encourage fans to pre-order, they have the single, the album is on its way and everyone is happy.
I’ll be creating a lyric video which will only be released to coincide with the pre-sales going online. At this stage, it makes sense only to advertise something when fans can go out and get hold of it. For me, it’s about not letting people get bored of it. Here’s a video, you can pre-order this album now and get a free track. Instant gratification.
This is roughly the timeline we’re going for
Pre-sales online – Lyric video uploaded (YouTube first then Facebook)
Pre-sales continue – Official promo uploaded (YouTube first then Facebook)
Got any questions about this post or how you can better market yourself?

I am setting up to weld Inconel to AISI 4340, 330Hb steel bar. The weld diameter of the Inconel and the bar is 0.875 inch OD with a machined ID pocket. This combination yields a weld surface area of 0.38 square inches. My parameters are 0.070-0.080 inch upset. I plan to use a flywheel with weld pressure of 375 psi and upset pressure of 1350 psi. What combinations of rpm and flywheel mass will achieve this weld?

The piano is one of the most popular kinds of instruments. One reason for this is because of its remarkable versatility. Nearly every kind of music can be reproduced on its keys. To make sure that it does this, however, you’ll need to get piano tuning.
A piano tuner will be able to make sure that each and every key makes the proper kind of sound. This is a job that demands a great deal of precision, which is why each tuner must be licensed for the job.
A piano technician can also perform other kinds of piano repair. These are all important services for anyone who gets a lot of use out of a piano, whether as a teacher, student, or simply a performer.
You can get great piano tuning by contacting us at DV Pianoworks in Chicago, IL.

Playing in the Europa League? I don’t like to listen to any anthem other than the Champions League,” Xavi said in his interview with Barca media.
Speaking further Xavi said: “Maybe it’s necessary to grow. But I don’t like it, it makes us angry. It’s disappointing. It makes us angry to be in a competition we don’t want to play.
“I’ll be looking forward to the Europa League, let’s hope we reach the semi-finals or the final.
“If we win La Liga, it would be a good season for us,” Xavi adds.
Barcelona were bundled out of the Champions League after finishing third in their group. The consequence is dropping to the Europa League where they will face Manchester United in the playoff.
This is the second successive season Barca are dropping to the Europa League under Xavi.


We believe in quality over quantity, in the return to owning one great, well-made product rather than many standardised, mass-produced goods. We conceive our products to look just as good when they are worn and lived, as they do when they are new.
Portici is a small town south of Naples, right at the foot of the Vesuvio, probably known for its historical railway line along the coast rather than for swimsuit or shirt making.
Our atelier is hidden in the basement of an unassuming, red residential block, just behind the railway station and a few minutes from the sea. It was specialised in making hand-sewn shirts for the most renowned Neapolitan houses – the sort of attention and expertise we wanted to apply to something as simple as a swimsuit.
The laboratorio doesn't look fancy in any way, but it is full of quirks, character and the people working here have a real energy for the work they do; a shirt isn't just a shirt, it could be cut in a dozen different ways, sewn by hand or machine, with specific sewing techniques used depending on the way the fabric has to wrap around the shoulder of the client.
It is run by Salvatore and Luigi, two brothers in their twenties, along with Angela, the head of the laboratorio. The garments are sewn together by a team of seamstresses, who, with the biggest smile on their face, explain to you every step of the making of a swimsuit and each single stitch on a shirt.
Quality swimwear fabrics are rare to go by, because synthetic fibres often have a plastic touch whilst cotton absorbs and retains moisture. We had a hard time sourcing high quality suppliers and are very proud of our finding. We came across a mill that produces quick-drying synthetic fabric that is ring-spun and brushed, making it both soft and look and feel like cotton. The raw weave is then dyed and printed with our exclusive designs.
For the tying-cord, we chose a nautical rope manufacturer just outside Milan that specialises in the production of traditional sailing boat cording. The drawstring is made from unbleached cotton that is double braided to reduce water absorption and weaved tightly to withstand the wear and tear of the sea. It recalls the old ropes used on vintage wooden sailing boats.
For the shirts we source a high quality Italian linen, which grows softer and supple the more it gets worn. The buttons are all made out of mother of pearl, where each one is unique and tells its own story.
Together with our team of tailors, we worked on redesigning the classic swimsuit to get the perfect cut. Many swim shorts look awkward because of what we call the “parachute effect”; the short becomes wider towards the leg opening, giving it a droopy pear shape. By increasing the inseam and slightly reducing the leg circumference, we gave our swim short a straight and elegant fit.
The linen shirts are designed revisiting vintage cut from the 1960s, such as the Capri collar which has famously been worn by Gianni Agnelli during his summers in Capri.
Giovanna uses chalk to draw the different shapes on the fabric and then cuts it by hand with incredible precision.
Many details in the construction of the swimsuit may pass unnoticed, but we spent so much time conceiving every aspect that we couldn't fall short of perfecting even the smallest details.
The border of the side pockets are finished with a very fine hem – where the edge of the cloth is folded narrowly around a thin string with blind-stitching – giving it a clean, refined look. All of the fabric edges in the construction are folded and sewed before the assembly, so that the rough borders of the cut cloth never appear on the inside of the swimsuit.
Angela is always the last one to hold our pieces – she carefully irons and folds them, and cuts off by hand any little string that may still be showing.
The Swim Shorts
|US Size (A)||28-30||30-32||32-34||34-36||36-38|
|Taglia Italia (A)||44-46||46-48||48-50||50-52||52-54|
|Leg Length (B)||37cm||38cm||38cm||39cm||40cm|
|Leg Width (C)||29cm||30cm||31cm||32cm||33cm|
If in between sizes, we would advise you to pick a larger size for a more comfortable fit. If you're not sure about your waist size, take a look at the waist measurement on your favourite trousers.
All swim shorts have the same fit.
|Shirt Length (Elba)||80.5cm||81.5cm||83.5cm||85.5cm|
|US Size (A)||28-30||30-32||32-34||34-36|
|Taglia Italia (A)||44-46||46-48||48-50||50-52|
|Leg Length (B)||101cm||102cm||103cm||104cm|
If you're in doubt, send us an email we will help you to find the right size. And if ever you get the size wrong, don't worry we'll arrange to change it for you.

‘Defeat Congress, poverty will vanish on its own’: PM Modi at Uttarakhand rally
Prime Minister Narendra Modi countered the minimum income guarantee poll promise of the Congress saying it shows the failure of the party, which gave ‘garibi hatao’ slogan decades ago.
Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Thursday countered the Congress’s poll promise of implementing minimum income guarantee scheme if it is voted to power in the upcoming Lok Sabha elections saying “eradicate poverty” slogan is proof of the grand-old-party’s failure.
“The Congress responsible for poverty in the country…Defeat the Congress, poverty will vanish on its own,” said PM Modi at a public rally in Uttarakhand’s Rudrapur.
PM Modi said, “Indira Gandhi said we will eradicate poverty. The Congress is repeating it again. This is the fourth generation that is saying the same thing. It is the biggest proof of Congress’s lie, intent and failure.”
The prime minister was referring to Congress president Rahul Gandhi’s promise to give Rs 6,000 to each of poorest 20 per cent families of the country if the party is voted to power in 2019 national election. The Congress’s poll promise is targeted to garner support of five crore families or 25 crore individuals in the Lok Sabha election.
PM Modi, in his election speech, targeted the Opposition over Balakot strike saying that they are trying to become “a hero in Pakistan” by raising questions over the Indian Air Force’s operation across the border on a terror camp.
“When we entered the homes of the terrorists and killed them, they raised questions. Is it right to question valour of our jawans? Is it right to abuse our Army Chief? Will people forgive those who give anti-national statements just to become a hero in Pakistan,” said PM Modi.
The IAF conducted a strike at Balakot targeting a training camp run by Jaish-e-Mohammed, the terror outfit that owned responsibility for Pulwama attack, in which 40 CRPF jawans were killed in February.
Earlier at another public rally in Uttar Pradesh’s Meerut, PM Modi said his government had shown the courage to conduct a surgical strike in all spheres -- land, sky and space. The contest is between a “a decisive government and an indecisive past”, Modi said.
PM Modi said India has made up its mind on who to vote for in 2019. “On the one side there is a strong ‘chowkidar’, on the other there are the daagdars (tainted people),” he said.
Watch: ‘Govt has shown its mettle in land, air and space’: PM Modi at Meerut rally
PM Modi targeted previous regimes at the Centre saying that the governments in the past believed in slogans instead of “taking right decisions” to ensure safety and security of the nation
“I will give an account of my work, but at the same time seek an account from my opponents... a ‘chowkidar’ does no injustice,” he said.
Modi began his speech by paying tribute to Choudhary Charan Singh, former prime minister and father of RLD leader Ajit Singh who has aligned with the BSP and the SP in this election.

Beyond the immediate impacts on health and economic security, COVID-19 is threatening our mental health. As we move towards 2021 with the prospects of (hopefully) soon being out of this pandemic with new vaccines on the horizon, the stress, uncertainty, and isolation are not over yet. Stress isn’t something we only experience in the moment. It can be cumulative. And, the longer we experience it, the longer it’s effects can linger.
In August, the CDC released a study on the effects of COVID-19 related stress. While this isn’t a surprise, the real danger will be in the long-lingering effects this continued stress has on these vulnerable groups. The study looked at self-reported mental health outcomes such as anxiety, depression, and trauma-related stress disorder symptoms, as well as substance use and serious suicidal ideation in 5,412 adults.
Compared to the same time the previous year, people reported a 25% increase in anxiety, depression, and TRSD symptoms, and a 10% increase in both substance use and suicidal ideation. Young adults, racial and ethnic minorities, essential workers, and unpaid adult care-givers (caring for an adult family member) experienced significantly worse mental health and substance use outcomes.
The danger is assuming that once life returns to “normal,” these negative outcomes will disappear.
Stress reactions will linger as will the harmful coping strategies practiced during this time. Typically, younger adults are the most susceptible to developing substance use disorders, and are less likely to be able to afford recovery resources. Many healthcare providers and recovery services have stepped up to provide telehealth, online recovery groups such as AA and NA, and on-demand resources.
Most notably, under an emergency measure, providers are able to prescribe medication for opioid use disorders such as buprenorphine through telehealth visits, often subsidized through medicaid or other publicly funded programs. A major concern is that this measure will be lifted prematurely before economic recovery and while social distancing measures are still necessary. This would remove access to life-saving treatment to many in rural and underserved areas. Legislature has been introduced to extend substance use telehealth visits.
For now, the tools exist to promote recovery and turn the tides on this disheartening trend.

Interceptor physique armor (IBA) is a bullet-resistant vest that was utilized by the United States Armed Forces from the late 1990s to the late 2000s, nonetheless seeing use as of the early 2010s. As a outcome of that damning report and other circumstances, members of the Senate and Residence Armed Services Committees in May perhaps and June 2007 requested the Government Accountability Office (via the Pentagon’s inspector general) conduct an investigation into the testing and procurement of physique armor, such as overseeing side-by-side testing of the various physique armor systems.
Faced with the imminent publication of this story, the outcome of an eight-month investigation by Marine Corps Occasions, the Marine Corps on May possibly four issued a Corpswide message recalling 5,277 Interceptor vests from 11 lots that failed government ballistic functionality tests — slightly much more than half the total vests issued to Marines from questionable lots.
Armor Holdings, the military’s biggest supplier of the personal physique armor program recognized as Interceptor, not too long ago agreed to pay $30 million as aspect of a settlement in which Armor Holdings – now owned by British defense behemoth BAE Systems – admitted having knowingly sold defective physique armor to several governmental agencies, and agreed to cooperate with federal law enforcement in its ongoing investigation of such activity.
In early findings released ten months ago, the Pentagon’s inspector general identified that, contrary to the loud, emphatic, smug and endlessly repeated stories told by Pentagon officials about how Interceptor had been completely tested before getting given to U.S. combat troops, in fact, pretty the opposite was true: billions of dollars of body armor had been issued to U.S. troops with out any testing whatsoever.
It wasn’t till early 2006, when the Pentagon forbade U.S. troops (whose asses, following all, had been the ones on the line and who, after witnessing all of the above-talked about outrages, could possibly understandably have been just a wee bit skeptical of the Pentagon’s capacity or even willingness to deliver them with the ideal gear) from wearing any other type of body armor, that the fertilizer actually hit the ventilator.
