In a bid to reclaim the driver’s title that Felipe Massa lost to Lewis Hamilton in the final race of last season, Ferrari has rolled out its F1 car for the 2009 season. It may be recalled that Felipe Massa lost the 2008 championship by one point to Lewis Hamilton last season.
The official launch of the Ferrari F60 took place at the Mugello circuit, Scarperia.
Visually, the Ferrari F60 is remarkably different to the 2008 F1 car. For one, according to the recommendations of the Overtaking Working Group, many changes were decided upon and implemented by all the teams. The front wing of all F1 cars now have a neutral central profile, the car is overall much wider, slick tyres make a comeback to Formula One, and new regulations mean a lot of the apertures will disappear. There is a front flap, which can be adjusted by the driver while racing to better manage the aero dynamics of the F1 car.
It is quite likely that as testing progresses, the appearance of the F60 would change even further, and designers incorporate more data into the design.
Christened F60, the new 2009 challenger debuts as Ferrari’s 60th year innovation in Formula One. Significant about the F60 is the fact that it is Ferrari’s 55th F1 car since blazing on to the F1 scene way back in 1950. The new F1 car, which is undergoing testing on the speed track, is said to have invested more in the aerodynamics department keeping in line with the new norms for the 2009 season that have been agreed upon by different F1 teams.
The Ferrari F60 Formula One car incorpoates a kinetic energy recovery system (KERS), designed by Magneti Marelli, centrally mounted on the engine under the rear of the chassis. There is a possibility that Ferrari may not include the KERS at the beginning of the season, and introduce it only later. Nevertheless, the Ferrari F60 which was officially showcased included the KERS.
The race car incorporates capabilities to cut carbon dioxide emissions without affecting performance. Ferrari said that the transmission has been redesigned to take advantage of the new aerodynamics. The F60 is also wider than ever before, while sporting higher and narrower rear wings.
The debut, meanwhile, is being seen as a shift from the past, as Ferrari has until now rolled out its new cars on its home track in Fiorano. It is being said that the debut happened this week owing to snowy conditions in Fiorano. The car maker has clarified that the first official tests of the new Ferrari F60 would happen at Portimao in Portugal, when the team fight it out with each other from January 19-22.
Interstingly, the new Ferrari F60 was put to test by Massa himself on the the Mugello track, a few hours after the car was unveiled. Massa, sitting behind the wheel in his 2009 F1 challenger, was quoted by the F1 website as saying that it took a bit of getting used to, particularly with the KERS that has come in the car. Massa told the media that the car is very different and it would take some getting used to. Nevertheless, he was pleased that everything worked as expected during the short shakedown of the F60.
Massa was perhaps the most consistent driver in 2008, but controversies, debates over stewards’ verdicts and overall shoddiness marked Ferrari’s performance in 2008. Here’s hoping a better 2009 for the Ferrari F60 and Felipe Massa.
What about Kimi Raikkonen? Kimi has been particularly low profile prior to the launch, though he was very much there at the launch of the Ferrari F60. Kimi would get his first taste of the F60 next week. He told the media that while he was disappointed with his performance in 2008, this is a new year, and he definitely was looking forward to getting back to racing.

Carlotta, yours is a story of passion and continuous research towards a path that began some time ago and which today leads you to Maria Luca. What is the key word to describe this path? (speaking of your name, what do you prefer to be called? )
Carlotta is fine, which is my real name. Passion is certainly in the first place. I love what I do, research, fashion, design, leathers, shapes and geometries. These are all reasons that prompted me to pursue my passion and my work with great perseverance.
Since the time of your teaching experience, have you had clear ideas about what the objective to achieve was? And the path to follow in order to reach it?
I’m an architect, I studied architecture first at the state university of Rome and then in New York, at the New York Institute of Technology. Although I really enjoyed my studies, I knew I wanted to work in the world of fashion because my passion has always been there. Shoes for me are a design object that must be designed. After some work experience as an architect, I decided to change my career and dedicate myself to my passion. I moved to London for an experience at CSM (Central Saint Martins). Shortly after my first project Charline De Luca started, I knew what the goal was, the way to go a little less, it was a completely new world for me.
Your new collection, with Maria Luca, is declined to the modern vision of an independent woman ready to overcome borders. An unpredictable dimension too. What characterizes the woman of today for you, in relation to your creations?
The woman of today is a strong woman who knows what she wants and where she wants to go. At the same time she must have grace and elegance, to arrive without making it weigh on others
Speed, change, adaptation, global vision, are some of the elements that characterize the society we live in today.
So, Carlotta de Luca, what are you most attracted to? What’s your vision?
I grew up in an international environment, I lived in NYC and London, perhaps the most globalized but at the same time most multicultural cities in the world. I love speed, even if it puts a lot of pressure on it, it’s what gives me the energy to do better and better. As for globalization, I find it very important to know and understand our roots, our heritage, both personal and national. This is the only way to be authentic. I hope that authenticity and history can be carried forward in this globalized world.
Is your new project, Maria Luca, already a success? Tell us about how it was born and the upcoming and future projects?
Maria Luca was just born, the FW 2020 was the debut collection. I can say that Maria Luca was born with the pandemic! I presented my first collection in Paris in February 2020, after a few days the world changed. Despite everything we managed to make the brand known through a network of wonderful women! Irina SHayk, Eva Chen, Caroline Daur are some of the women who have worn Maria Luca several times. In the future we plan collaborations, and to expand to other categories of accessories
Himco High Italian Manufacturing is your partner. An important choice for you and your path?
Very important. Himco is a leader in the world of footwear, and is a true Italian company that carries our values.
2020, it is inevitable not to say it, will always be remembered as a year that changed lives and habits for millions of people. Everything seems to be negative but looking forward helps to project ourselves towards a future that we do not yet know. Has this pandemic disrupted the development of your projects? How are you planning next season?
It did not interrupt them because my projects started with the pandemic. We obviously slowed down and postponed what we had planned for the launch of the brand in 2020 and we have moved everything to digital for now. From September 2021 we are starting to redesign physical events and and a new phase of launches for the brand.
Your experience has led up to here and we imagine that the commitment and perseverance has determined this result. But is that enough? What would you recommend to a young creative designer at the beginning of his dream?
Commitment, perseverance and perseverance are essential. However, we must also be authentic and do what we are, and have a clear goal to achieve. Then there is also luck, which always serves everyone!

It’s 2023 and the homescreen of the iPhone has changed significantly since the original model was released in 2007. As technology has advanced, iPhones have become smarter and more capable. Apple has continued to work on their flagship device to make it even better and the homescreen is no exception. In this article, we’ll take a look at how the homescreen of the iPhone has adapted to the times and what you need to know about the future of the homescreen.
The Evolution of the iPhone Homescreen
The first iPhone homescreen was a simple design that was focused on its core features, such as making calls, checking emails, and browsing the web. Over the years, the iPhone homescreen has become more sophisticated and feature-rich. With iOS 8, Apple introduced a new concept for the homescreen called “widgets”. Widgets are small pieces of code that can be placed on the homescreen and are designed to give users quick access to frequently used apps or information.
In iOS 10, Apple introduced 3D Touch, which allowed users to quickly launch apps and access app shortcuts. This feature made the iPhone homescreen even more powerful and efficient. Apple also introduced Live Photos, a feature that allowed users to view a short video when they pressed and held on an image on the homescreen.
In iOS 12, Apple introduced the “Today View”, which was a widget-based view of the homescreen that allowed users to quickly access important information and apps. Apple also introduced “Siri Shortcuts”, which allowed users to quickly access apps and services with voice commands. Apple has continued to make improvements to the homescreen with each new version of iOS.
The Future of the iPhone Homescreen
Apple is continuing to push the boundaries of what is possible with the iPhone homescreen. In iOS 13, Apple introduced Dark Mode, which allows users to switch the entire phone’s appearance to a darker theme. Apple also added a new widget called “Siri Suggestions”, which provides users with helpful recommendations based on their usage. Apple is also working on a new feature called “Proactive Assistance”, which will provide users with personalized recommendations based on their daily activities.
Apple is also working on a new feature called “Augmented Reality”, which will allow users to view information and content in a 3D space. This will allow users to interact with their content in a more immersive way. Apple is also working on a new feature called “Contextual Learning”, which will allow Siri to better understand the user’s behavior and provide more relevant information.
Apple is also working on a new feature called “Smart Home”, which will allow users to control their home appliances and devices from the homescreen. This will allow users to control their lights, thermostat, and other connected devices from their iPhones. Apple is also working on a new feature called “Intelligent Assistant”, which will allow Siri to better understand the user’s requests and provide more helpful information.
The homescreen of the iPhone has come a long way since the original model was released in 2007. Apple has continued to make improvements to the homescreen with each new version of iOS, and they are continuing to push the boundaries of what is possible with the homescreen. As technology advances, the iPhone homescreen will continue to evolve and become even more powerful and efficient. The future of the homescreen looks very exciting and we can’t wait to see what Apple has in store.

- Facial bones.
- Your skull provides structure to your head and face while also protecting your brain.
The human skull is the part of the skeleton that supports the structures of the face and forms a cavity for the brain.
The skull supports the musculature and structures of the face and forms a protective cavity for the brain. The skull is formed of several bones which, with the exception of the mandible, are joined together by sutures—synarthrodial immovable joints.
The adult human skull is comprised of twenty-two bones which are divided into two parts of differing embryological origin: the neurocranium and the viscerocranium.
The neurocranium forms the cranial cavity that surrounds and protects the brain and brainstem. The neurocranium is formed from the occipital bone, two temporal bones, two parietal bones, the sphenoid, ethmoid and frontal bones; they are all joined together with sutures. Components of neurocranium : Neurocranium consists of 8 parts: frontal, sphenoid, ethmoid, occipital, 2 temporal, and 2 parietal bones.
The viscerocranium bones form the anterior and lower regions of the skull and include the mandible, which attaches through the only truly motile joint found in the skull.
The facial skeleton contains the vomer, two nasal conchae, two nasal bones, two maxilla, the mandible, two palatine bones, two zygomatic bones, and two lacrimal bones. The skull also contains the sinuses. These are air-filled cavities that contribute to lessening the weight of the skull with a minimal reduction in strength.
They contribute to resonance of the voice and assist in the warming and moistening of air inhaled via the nose. The neurocranium is comprised of eight bones: occipital, two temporal bones, two parietal bones, sphenoid, ethmoid, and the frontal bone. The neurocranium consists of the occipital bone, two temporal bones, two parietal bones, the sphenoid, ethmoid, and frontal bones—all are joined together with sutures. Evolutionary,it is the expansion of the neurocranium that has facilitated the expansion of the brain and its associated developments.
Neurocranium : A lateral view showing the bones that structure the neurocranium. The occipital bone forms the base of the skull at the rear of the cranium. It articulates with the first vertebra of the spinal cord and also contains the foramen magnum, the large opening of the skill through which the spinal cord passes as it enters the vertebral column.
The occipital bone borders the parietal bones through the heavily serrated lambdoidal suture, and also the temporal bones through occipitomastoid suture. The temporal bones are situated at the base and sides of the skull, lateral to the temporal lobes of the brain.
The temporal bones consist of four regions the squamous, mastoid, petrous and tympanic regions. Inferior to the squamous is the mastoid region, and fused between the squamous and mastoid regions is the petrous region. Finally, the small and inferior tympanic region lies anteriorly to the mastoid. The two large parietal bones are connected and make up part of the roof and sides of the human skull. The two bones articulate to form the sagittal suture.
In the front, the parietal bones form the coronal suture with the frontal bone, and in the rear, the lambdoid suture is formed by the occipital bone. Finally, the squamosal suture separates the parietal and temporal bones. The sphenoid bone is situated in the middle of the skull towards the front and forms the rear of the orbit. It has been described as resembling a butterfly due to its wing-like processes.
The sphenoid bone is divided into several parts: the body of the bone, two greater wings, two lesser wings, and the pterygoid processes. The body that forms the middle of the sphenoid bone articulates with the ethmoid and occipital bone and forms a key part of the nasal cavity; it also contains the sphenoidal sinuses.
The greater wings form the floor of the middle cranial fossa that houses the frontal lobes and pituitary gland, and also the posterior wall of the orbit. The lesser wings project laterally and form the floor of the anterior cranial fossa and the superior orbital fissure through which several key optical nerves pass. The ethmoid bone is a small bone in the skull that separates the nasal cavity from the brain. It is lightweight due to its spongy, air-filled construction and is located at the roof of the nose and between the two orbits.
The ethmoid bone forms the medial wall of the orbit, the roof of the nasal cavity, and due to its central location it articulates with numerous bones of the viscerocranium. Inside the neurocranium it articulates with the frontal and sphenoid bones. The frontal bone borders two other neurocranial bones—the parietal bones through the coronal sutures and the sphenoid bone through the sphenofrontal suture.
It also articulates with the zygomatic and nasal bones and the maxilla. The viscerocranium face includes these bones: vomer, 2 inferior nasal conchae, 2 nasals, maxilla, mandible, palatine, 2 zygomatics, and 2 lacrimals. The viscerocranium or facial bones supports the soft tissue of the face. The viscerocranium consists of 14 individual bones that fuse together. However, the hyoid bone, ethmoid bone, and sphenoid bones are sometimes included in the viscerocranium.
The two zygomatic bones form the cheeks and contribute to the orbits. They articulate with the frontal, temporal, maxilla, and sphenoid bones. The two lacrimal bones form the medial wall of the orbit and articulate with the frontal, ethmoid, maxilla, and inferior nasal conchae. The lacrimal bones are the two smallest bones located in the face. The two slender nasal bones located in the midline of the face fuse to form the bridge of the noise and also articulate with the frontal, ethmoid and maxilla bones.
The inferior nasal conchae are located within the nasal cavity. At the base of the nasal cavity is the small vomer bone which forms the nasal septum. The maxilla bones fuse in the midline and form the upper jaw. They provide the bed for the upper teeth, the floor of the nose, and the base of the orbits. The maxilla articulates with the zygomatic, nasal, lacrimal, and palatine bones.
The palatine bones fuse in the midline to form the palatine, located at the back of the nasal cavity that forms the roof of the mouth and the floor of the orbit.
Finally, the mandible forms the lower jaw of the skull. Facial bones : There are fourteen facial bones. Some, like the lacrimal and nasal bones, are paired.
Others, like the mandible and vomer, are singular. The orbit, or eye socket, is the cavity located in the skull in which the eye and its associated appendages are housed. The orbits are conical, sometimes described as four-sided pyramidal, cavities that open in the midline of the face and point backwards.
To the rear of the orbit, the optic foramen opens into the optical canal through which the optic nerve and ophthalmic artery pass. The orbital cavity is formed from seven bones.
The frontal bone forms the superior border of the orbital rim and also the superior wall roof of the orbital surface. Completing the basal and medial border of the orbital rim is the maxillary bone, which also forms the inferior wall floor of the orbital surface. The lacrimal and ethmoid bones contribute to the medial wall of the orbit and also to the medial wall of the orbital canal.
The small palatine bone contributes to the floor of the orbit. Finally, the sphenoid bone forms the posterior wall of the orbit and also contributes to the formation of the optic canal. The human skull has numerous holes known as foramina through which cranial nerves, arteries, veins, and other structures pass.
Base of the skull upper surface : This image details the foramina of the skull. In anatomy, a foramen is any opening.
Foramina inside the body of humans and other animals typically allow muscles, nerves, arteries, veins, or other structures to connect one part of the body with another.
The human skull has numerous foramina through which cranial nerves, arteries, veins, and other structures pass. The skull bones that contain foramina include the frontal, ethmoid, sphenoid, maxilla, palatine, temporal, and occipital lobes.
A suture is a type of fibrous joint or synarthrosis that only occurs in the skull or cranium. A suture is a type of fibrous joint or synarthrosis that only occurs in the skull. A small amount of movement is permitted through these sutures that contributes to the compliance and elasticity of the skull.
At birth, many of the bones of the skull remain unfused to the soft spots described as fontanelle. The bones fuse relatively rapidly through a process known as craniosynotosis, although the relative positions of the bones can continue to change through life. In old age the cranial sutures may ossify completely, reducing the amount of elasticity present in the skull. As such, the degree of ossification can be a useful tool in determining age postmortem. Lateral view of a skull showing sutures : The dotted red lines indicate the location of skull sutures.
The paranasal sinuses four, paired, air-filled spaces surround the nasal cavity, and are located above and between the eyes, and behind the ethmoids.
Skull Sinuses : This image shows the position of the sinuses in the human skull. Paranasal sinuses are a group of four, paired, air-filled spaces that surround the nasal cavity maxillary sinuses , above the eyes frontal sinuses , between the eyes ethmoid sinuses , and behind the eyes sphenoid sinuses. The sinuses are named for the facial bones that they are located behind.
The paranasal sinuses form developmentally through excavation of bone by air-filled sacs pneumatic diverticula from the nasal cavity. The biological role of the sinuses is debated, but a number of possible functions have been proposed. These include:. Superior view of infant skull : This image shows the location of the anterior frontal and posterior fontanelles. The ossification of the bones of the skull causes the fontanelles to close over a period of 18 to 24 months; they eventually form the sutures of the neurocranium.
The cranium of a newborn consists of five main bones: two frontal bones, two parietal bones, and one occipital bone. These are joined by fibrous sutures that allow movement that facilitates childbirth and brain growth.
At birth, the skull features a small posterior fontanelle an open area covered by a tough membrane where the two parietal bones adjoin the occipital bone at the lambda. This is called intramembranous ossification. The mesenchymal connective tissue turns into bone tissue.
The much larger, diamond-shaped anterior fontanelle—where the two frontal and two parietal bones join—generally remains open until a child is about two years old. The anterior fontanelle is useful clinically, as examination of an infant includes palpating the anterior fontanelle. Two smaller fontanelles are located on each side of the head. Lateral view of infant skull : This image show the location of the sphenoidal and mastoid fontanelles.

Prevalence of musculoskeletal symptoms among garment workers in Kandal province
Speaker: Mr. Van Leap, Educational Adviser of WOB Cambodia
The main objectives of this cross-sectional descriptive study were to identify the prevalence of musculoskeletal symptoms and workstation biomechanical risk levels for garment workers in Kandal Province, Cambodia.
This cross-sectional descriptive study used multistage sampling techniques to select 714 workers from three garment factories among 22 medium-size factories (250-1000 workers). Face-to-face interviews and direct observation using the rapid upper limb assessment scale (RULA) were used to collect data.
The response rate was 98.3% (702/714), and the majority (89.3%) of the respondents, were female. Ninety-two percent (95% CI=90.0-94.0) of the workers reported musculoskeletal symptoms in at least one body region in the previous 12 months and 89.0% (95% CI=86.7-91.3) of the workers reported such symptoms in the past seven-day period. The neck, shoulder, and lower back were the most affected body regions. In addition, the RULA data showed that 81.2% of the workers’ postures were rated as action level 3, indicating that investigation and change were required soon, and that 7.5% their postures were rated as action level 4, indicating that investigation and change were required immediately.
Cambodian garment workers reported a high prevalence of musculoskeletal symptoms in upper body regions, and their workplaces were rated as high risk ergonomically.

SWAN Districts premiership player Travis Casserly will appeal his two-year ban for testing positive to a performance-enhancing drug.
Casserly, 23, was today handed the two-year suspension – the maximum penalty recommended by the Australian Sports Anti-Doping Authority – after testing positive to restricted substance pseudoephedrine following his team’s thrilling one-point win over Claremont in the WAFL grand final.
Is the ban justified? Should the WAFL tribunal been more lenient? Have your say below.
It is believed this is the first time a sportsperson has been handed a two-year ban for testing positive to pseudoephedrine.
Swan Districts football operations general manager Phil Smart said he was “shocked” and “disappointed” by the decision, which the club plans to appeal.
“It is without precedent worldwide to suspend a player for two years for taking two Sudafed tablets that you can buy over the counter,” he said.
“(To describe the penalty as) harsh is being polite. We’ll definitely appeal, but what format that takes we’ll decide on the next couple of days.
At the WAFL tribunal hearing last week, Swans officials argued that Casserly had taken two Sudafed tablets during the grand final to treat a bout of hay fever.
But WAFL tribunal chairman Paul Heaney ruled that use of the drug was “beyond therapeutic” and that Casserly had knowingly taken the substance to improve his performance.
“We’ve been upfront the whole time,” Smart said. “Travis has always been transparent, and so has the club, that he took one tablet before the game and one at half-time.
“That was not challenged by ASADA during the tribunal so they basically accepted our evidence.”
Smart said Casserly had used the drug “spasmodically” to treat allergies for several years, including when he was on Richmond’s playing list between 2006 and 2008, and had always notified ASADA when he took the drug or when he was tested.
“We never hid the fact Travis took Sudafed,” he said. “He’s taken two tablets – it’s not a two-year penalty for a bloke trying to get back into the AFL system.
“Mr Heaney is well respected in WA and has been with the WAFL for a long time, but I don’t agree with him and the club doesn’t agree with him. I think he’s made a mistake.”
Pseudoephedrine was not on the World Anti-Doping Agency’s list of banned substances between 2004 and 2010, although levels of the drug were monitored and recorded during this period.
The two-year ban all but ends Casserly’s AFL dream. He was given another AFL lifeline by the Tigers in December when selected as one of three players to train with the club in a bid to win the final spot on the rookie list before the start of the season.
Richmond was aware that Casserly had tested positive when it selected him in the rookie draft.
Casserly, who will remain in Melbourne for the next few days as he comes to terms with the decision, was vying for the final rookie spot with Victorian Mitch Keddell and South Australian Liam Corrie.
He is the second WAFL player suspended for drug taking in the past year.
East Perth midfielder Dean Cadwallader, 20, was also given a two-year ban after testing positive to an anabolic steroid before last year’s State game.
Cadwallader was being looked at by a number of AFL clubs at the time.
WAFL director of football Grant Dorrington said the league would increase testing this season in the wake of the two positive drugs results as well as review the drug education set-up within clubs.
“I think this is a message to every sport and to every athlete – don’t put anything in your mouth or inject anything in anyway unless you know from someone with medical advice that is it ok,” he said.
“That’s the strong message we’ll be giving to all our clubs and all our players. Every player has a responsibility.”
Dorrington said it was not the WAFL’s position to comment on the severity of the penalty, other than to say the league was satisfied with the tribunal process.

It’s easy to understand that gunung means both “mountain” and “volcano” in Bahasa Indonesian, as almost every climbable gradient will lead you to the crater of an active or dormant volcano.
The infamous Krakatoa, Indonesia
A 2hr boat ride off the southwest coast of Java from a small port town called Carita leads you to the eery, volcanic graveyard of Krakatau. Although geographically located in the region of Sumatra, as with most tours in Southeast Asia, it is easiest to start from the closest big city: Jakarta in this case. Despite what hostel receptionists may tell you, this is a trip you can easily complete in just 1 day. In my experience, simply googling tour companies, communicating via email, and booking online was quick and easy, especially as this means you are able to avoid sitting in grid-locked, Jakarta traffic unnecessarily. Tours often include everything from lunch and water, to snorkelling gear (, although Krakatau isn’t the cleanest place for snorkelling due to Java’s grave problem with rubbish pollution).
The climb itself is a fairly easy, 40min hike up the active Anak Krakatau to gain a panoramic view of what remains of the cluster of volcanos.
Closest town: Carita
Duration: 1 day
Terrain: volcanic ash
Gunung Bromo, Indonesia
The best place to see the sunrise is from Gunung Penanjakan (2770m) which gives you the iconic view of Bromo that is splattered across postcards of Java. Most tour companies will escort you to the popular viewpoint by 4×4, and afterwards to the bottom of the obviously active Gunung Bromo. From here you can either walk up the volcanic ash trail or take a leisurely horse ride for around £2.00.
The only struggle is the never-ending flight steps up to the crater.
Closest town: Probolinggo
Duration: 3/4 of a day
Terrain: volcanic ash
Dieng Plateau, Indonesia
A colourful cluster of bubbling sulphur lakes can be seen so closely you have to be careful not to fall in, or from a panoramic bird’s-eye view if you’re up for a mini, unsupervised rock climb. Cheap and cheerful, this tour only needs to take up half of one of your precious days in the lovely Yogyakarta.
Closest town: Yogyakarta
Duration: 1/2 a day
Terrain: man-made path & rocks
Mt Kinabalu, Malaysia
The highest peak in Southeast Asia standing at 4095m, boasting the World’s highest Via Ferrata (“iron ropes” in Italian, ) 3776m up the side of the mountain. A more commercial route than all of the other volcanos, Mt Kinabalu has toilets at regular intervals and an all-you-can-eat restaurant at the base camps (, which are actual beds in actual buildings)!
Although the Mt Kinabalu expeditions have seen a decrease in popularity since the 2015 earthquake, it is still crucial to book in advance. Tours can easily be booked online, where you will no doubt be asked to pay the full price in advance. From experience, I can say it is well worth paying extra to do the Low Peak’s Via Ferrata as long as you have adequate upper-body strength and no fear of heights.
– If you don’t get back down to the park entrance by 4pm on your decent day, you have to pay a fee.
– Stay at accommodation inside the National Park the night before the climb, to help avoid altitude sickness.
– This was the only volcano we climbed, where we were told (only once we had reached base camp +3000m up) that it is compulsory to wear walking boots to the summit.
Closest town: Kota Kinabalu
Duration: 2 days
Terrain: a man-made path of wood and rocks up to base camp, rock-climbing to the summit
Ijen Plateau, Indonesia
Possibly the craziest tour of the lot if you opt to start at 00:30 with a climb down into the crater to see the blue flame that ignites from the burning sulphur. The other option is to begin at 02:00 and walk to the lake for sunrise. The extra climb right to the edge of the crater for sunrise gives you the best view of the lake. Most tours include a well-deserved, all-you-can-eat breakfast after the trek, but this is worth checking as there aren’t many other places around to grab a bite to eat.
– A gas mask is crucial so ensure your tour provides one!
Closest town: Banyuwangi
Duration: 1 day
Terrain: rocks & path
00:30 start – 7/10
02:00 start – 3/10
Gunung Rinjani, Indonesia
They say “save the best till last”… and in my opinion, this was it. By far the most difficult summit to climb, but with that the most rewarding one to conquer. The climb can be made easier by spreading it over a maximum of 4 days, or you can try to get it over and done with in 36 hours, where on average, almost 50% of people won’t reach the summit for sunrise. It’s well worth setting off as early as you can on the first day of your climb (8am start for us), as getting to base camp while the sun is still in the sky makes the whole experience worth your while.
Closest town: Mataram
Duration: 2 – 4 days
Terrain: fields, forests, rocks, volcanic ash

domain: geography

Several innovations mark the telecommunications sector this year. First of all, the arrival of 5G will revolutionize the services provided by mobile operators. Of course, it still takes time and resources to put in place the entire infrastructure to support this new coverage. However, 5G is coming and some big cities will be covered by the end of this year. The second novelty concerns foldable mobiles or more precisely foldable smartphones since it is light years away from the flip-flops of Motorola or Nokia. Mid tablet, mid smartphone, manufacturers are all on these terminals today even if they still offer some high-end products. Contrary to what we can believe, Samsung was not the first to release a foldable Android phone. A Chinese brand named Royole has already launched FlexPai in 2018. Unfortunately for the manufacturer, the terminal has not been a hit. A too sketchy design and a software version not suitable for both screens led the FlexPai to fail. That's why everyone has been eagerly awaiting what major manufacturers like Samsung and Huawei have planned for the public.
How do these foldable smartphones work?
Smartphone makers have been getting ready for quite a long time to release another sort of cell phone. Finally, their endeavors are taking a state of adaptable or foldable displays that can fold without being harmed. A smartphone contains not only a display but also different parts like battery, processor, camera, and so on which are of changing sizes and shapes. Henceforth to make a foldable smartphone work, every one of these parts will be considered and some huge parts might have the option to twist as well. To be progressively exact, the smartphone's body may utilize a pivot to enable fold to occur.
There will be two noteworthy designs, inward folding screen or outward folding screen. The in-folding display will pursue the old foldable phone approach (remember Moto RAZR?). One can open the gadget to reveal the display. In the out-folding display, it will curve to cover the rear of the gadget. In both the ways, the gadget will be expected to operate as a smartphone, tablet or phablet. Additionally, the present leaks of such smartphones suggest that the first generation of folding phones will implement the in-folding type of design.
Advantages of the foldable smartphone
Foldable smartphones are not yet on the market. But, the world of new technologies is panicking. It must be said that this futuristic novelty in terms of mobile arouses a lot of excitement and expectations from aficionados of high tech. However, as for any new device, we must expect good surprises as well as some more negative aspects. Here is a little overview of the advantages that can be expected for future foldable smartphones.
An extra-large screen for more fun – The new smartphones will give access to a new mobile phone display experience. Indeed, once unfolded, the extra-large screen will allow the user to watch his videos or read his diary-like on a tablet.
Great flexibility for more convenience – Thanks to its flexible screen, the foldable smartphone offers different possibilities of use in a single device. Thus, with its dual internal screen and its new features, the foldable smartphone can be used alone by mobile, tablet and laptop.
Stronger Performance – Foldable smartphones are developed with new features that will allow increased performance and therefore greater productivity. These new generation mobiles are indeed expected with a powerful processor, long battery life and much more storage space for your data.
List of some most anticipates foldable smartphone
As a reminder, Samsung and Huawei are not the only manufacturers to engage in the manufacture and marketing of flexible or foldable mobile. Apart from Honor who prefers to remain a spectator in this race of a new kind, everyone goes there. LG, OPPO, Xiaomi, and Motorola are also on the right track. Even the giants Google and Apple are similarly in the manufacturing phase of their foldable terminals despite the radio silence.
Samsung Galaxy X or Galaxy F – It is in the first place of the most anticipated terminals this year. The manufacturer has already mentioned the manufacture of a foldable mobile in 2011. The engineers have worked hard to concoct a mobile capable of bending in 2. At its first presentation in November 2018, the collapsible Samsung n ' was not yet developed. The demonstration aimed to show the public and rival companies that the final version of the product is in the finishing phase. As a reminder, the rumors about this famous Samsung have been many. Everyone wanted to guess his name and the Galaxy X circulated a long time on the web. As it seems, Samsung would intend to name this model as well to mark the 10 years of the Galaxy range.
Huawei Mate X – After Samsung, Huawei has decided to launch its folding model this year 2019. This model was unveiled for the first time at the MWC and the group also invited some French journalists to take it in hand at a private meeting that has taken place in Paris. This terminal has a wider screen than the Galaxy F with its 8 inches. Just like his rival, the constructor worked with Google to set up an operating system capable of making the most of the folding screen. Of course, power will be at the rendezvous with a Kirin 980 processor engraved in 7nm. The Huawei Mate X is also characterized by the presence of a 5G modem Balong 5000. In theory, the owner of this toy can download a file of 1 GB in 3 seconds only.
Motorola Moto RAZR (Foldable) – People of my age will fondly remember the Motorola RAZR. I told my colleagues that I would like an original RAZR with a foldable screen inside. Well, some dreams come true. It is still in the early stages, but the excitement is at its height. When Motorola patented a design close to what I had dreamed of on December 17, 2018, it did not take long for renders to begin to surface.
We do not have much more to add, but the Wall Street Journal has reported that the device is more than a fancy dream and that prices will start at $ 1,500. It is said that the phone is a partnership between Lenovo Group and Verizon and that it will be exclusive to US customers - much to the chagrin of the Europeans.
LG – LG is also expected to release a foldable smartphone this year. In terms of leaks, renderings, and video footage, we're probably halfway between fiction and reality, here's what we know for now. LG has patented two models of convertible smartphones. The first is fairly conventional with a hinge in the middle and a foldable display similar to that of Samsung. The second is a little more interesting. The crease is not quite in the middle, leaving a kind of screen overlap.
Apple, Huawei, Oppo, and Sony – The other cell phone pioneers like Oppo, Sony, and Apple might deal with foldable phones as they are known for advancements in their premium smartphone fragments. However, there are bits of gossip about bendable displays from these makers.
The improvements in smartphones are endless and unmistakably foldable screens will effortlessly take out the requirement for tablets. The enormous and tough screen will clearly offer a pristine encounter for clients. Precisely as a tablet, a foldable smartphone will help clients to draw, make introductions, watch motion pictures, and so forth. In spite of the fact that these screens have numerous capacities, their limitations like a massive plan, high value, programming similarity and so on could be the purpose for their disappointment. The smartphone creators are contending on a huge scale to bring such smartphones. Be that as it may, the inquiry is, do the individuals will truly acknowledge them? There are numerous inventive disappointments in the smartphone market; one can take a case of the most prevalent particular phone, Google's Project Ara. It was begun with enormous bits of gossip and breaks yet its massiveness and cost made the task come up short. Accordingly, to rise as a game-changer, foldable smartphone's pivot should be as reduced or conceivably undetectable with an optimal price tag

The 90-day period for public input into the IRS’ proposed new rules for Tea Party and other conservative groups to qualify for tax-exempt status is about to end. Carefully crafted to put “tea party groups out of business,” as House Ways and Means Chairman Dave Camp (R-Mich.) put it, the announcement was made just before Thanksgiving and then forgotten. The rules are the result of “reverse-engineering” the activities found to be most threatening to the Washington establishment, and under the new guidelines, those activities will be outlawed, come March.
Those activities include
• Voter registration drives to get out the vote
• Distribution of any material prepared by (or on behalf of) a political candidate
• Preparation or distribution of voter guides that refer to candidates
• Holding any event within 60 days of a general election at which a political candidate appears as part of the program
The new rules deliberately target just Tea Party and conservative groups under Section 501(c) 4 of the Internal Revenue Code, but not similar activities by unions under Section 501(c) 5, as noted by House Oversight Committee Chairman Darrell Issa (R-Calif.):
The fact that the Administration’s new effort only applies to social welfare organizations — and not powerful unions or business groups — underscores that this is a crass political effort by the Administration to get what political advantage they can, whenever they can.
In its press release dated November 26, 2013, the Treasury Department said that the new rules will “clarify” and “improve” the understanding of what activities are allowed, and not allowed, in order to claim tax exemption. IRS Commissioner Danny Werfel explained:
This is part of ongoing efforts within the IRS that are improving our work in the tax-exempt area.
Once final, this proposed guidance will continue moving us forward and provide clarity for this important segment of exempt organizations.
The IRS announcement said that further “clarifications” will be forthcoming that will address “other issues” as necessary.
These new proposed rules come at a bad time for the IRS, as continuing revelations of deceit pour out of Washington. Lawyers for the American Center for Law and Justice (ACLJ) have been busy exposing President Obama’s lie that there’s “not even a smidgen of corruption” inside the IRS: The ACLJ has brought out revelations that decisions to stall approval of applications from conservative groups came from the very top of the IRS, that Tea Party applications were specifically flagged for close attention, that the IRS targeted enemies of the administration with audits and harassment, and that, despite the negative publicity, the resignations of top officials, and the claiming of Fifth Amendment privileges, Tea Party groups are still being targeted and delayed in their quest to gain tax exempt status.
When the Treasury Inspector General for Tax Administration (TIGTA) looked into those allegations, it confirmed those suspicions:
The IRS used inappropriate criteria that identified for review Tea Party and other organizations applying for tax-exempt status based upon their names or policy positions instead of indications of potential political campaign intervention.
[The IRS] 1) allowed inappropriate criteria to be developed and stay in place for more than 18 months, 2) [which] resulted in substantial delays in processing certain applications, and 3) allowed unnecessary information requests to be issued.
Although the processing of some applications with potential significant political campaign intervention was started soon after receipt, no work was completed on the majority of these applications for 13 months....
Many organizations received requests for additional information from the IRS that included unnecessary, burdensome questions (e.g., lists of past and future donors).
In his article published by Fox News, ACLJ attorney Jay Sekulow said he was going to press forward with his federal lawsuit against the IRS representing 41 groups who were discriminated against. Sekulow then asked:
The question is not whether the IRS was corrupt. It was and is. The question is, how corrupt? How far up the chain of command does the corruption extend?
Most Americans following the story already know the answer to Sekulow’s questions. A much better question — one that has not been asked publicly — is this one: Why would any Tea Party or conservative group even bother with trying to obtain tax exempt status in the first place? First of all, according to the IRS, “Contributions to civic leagues or other section 501(c)4 organizations generally are not deductible as charitable contributions for federal income tax purposes,” so possible donors have less reason to contribute to an organization's cause
Second, such an exemption involves an enormous amount of time and effort (and patience) to pass muster and get approval. Third, once the exemption is approved, that’s just the beginning of the paper blizzard. For example, the compliance guide for 501(c)4 groups is 40 pages long.
The argument for getting an exemption goes something like this: It’s important to gain credibility so that donors may feel comfortable supporting us. Once an exemption is granted, the donors are shielded from public exposure as to their identity and the amount of their support.
But nowhere in any IRS regulation does it state that such groups must apply. And so why would they? Why would they want to subject themselves willingly to the threat of falling out of compliance, the threat of being sued or mulcted for back taxes and fees if they do fail to comply? Why would they invest precious resources that could otherwise be used far more wisely and effectively in the freedom fight?
With the credibility of the IRS continuing its inevitable decline, what possible advantage could there be to having a tax exemption certificate hanging on a wall somewhere, knowing that the organization's every move is being monitored by some IRS agent somewhere to keep them in line?
Finally and most importantly, aren't most of these groups supportive of the Constitution and its Bill of Rights? In particular, aren't they supportive of the First Amendment, which states clearly:
Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech.
Why would they so happily and willingly give up such a precious right for a piece of parchment?
Happily, with the institution of the new rules, come March that’s exactly what many so-called conservative groups will be forced to do if they wish to remain faithful to their calling: opt out, stay out, and fight back. Some might even wish to turn their decision not to seek tax exemption into a marketing advantage, seeking donors who are more interested in results than in show, in commitment to principle rather than compromise.

Havas Group, the French owned marketing giant which operates in 100 countries and employs more than 19,000 staff, has pledged to achieve carbon neutrality by 2025, some 16 years after it first started its CSR programme in 2009.
On the heels of World Environment Day, the group has released its 2020 CSR Report, presenting the results and progress of its CSR programme Havas Impact+.
Launched in 2020 and organised around three key pillars – environment, people, and meaningful communication – Havas Impact+ commits the agency to positively impact the world and act towards a more inclusive and sustainable society.
The Havas Impact+ environmental pillar formalises the group’s actions to fight against climate change. As part of this pillar, Havas has set ambitious targets to reduce its greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions each year in alignment with the science-based target commitment by parent Vivendi.
By the end of 2020, Havas Group achieved a reduction of GHG emissions by 32% in absolute terms and by 31% per collaborator, from a 2018 baseline. By 2025, the company pledges to achieve carbon neutrality.
To achieve this goal, Havas Group objectives are to achieve a 5% decrease in electricity consumption; shift to 25% supply of renewable energy; a 20% decrease in non-hazardous waste generation; shift to 100% use of recycled and/or certified paper (from sustainable forests); a40% decrease in paper consumption; and making sure all its agencies have recycling programmes in place.
This 2020 report reveals that 28% of the group’s global headcount is now operating under ISO 14001 certification; 15% of the group’s global headcount has achieved its target of 100% renewable electricity purchasing; 17% of the group’s electricity consumption was from renewable sources in 2020; and there was a 42% reduction in paper consumption in 2020.
Havas Group chief communications and CSR officer Lorella Gessa said: “Corporate social responsibility is an integral part of everything we do at Havas. We didn’t wait for CSR to go mainstream before assuming our responsibilities. As a pioneer, Havas was taking on concrete commitments as early as 2009, which are reflected today in our results.
“With the power of the Havas Impact+ program and our creative ideas, I’m convinced that Havas is on the right track to become the leading communications group on environmental issues and the most meaningful company within our industry.”

The Homeland Security Department’s top cybersecurity official views the tool used to block attacks from federal civilian government networks as something the private sector can’t match — despite being built on twenty-five year-old technology.
Phyllis Schneck, deputy undersecretary for cybersecurity and communications for DHS, said the Einstein system should be viewed more as a platform than a single tool. Schneck, the most senior department official with solely cybersecurity responsibilities, said the department was working to build on top of it with the best technology the private sector has to offer.
Schneck, delivering the closing keynote at the Security through Innovation Summit, sponsored by Intel Security, said Einstein has granted the department great situational awareness used to protect agencies — while the National Protection and Programs Directorate works to improve the system’s intrusion detection and prevention capabilities.
“We are working very closely with our colleagues in the intelligence community to look at what additional information they can give us,” Schneck said, “What can they give us faster and how we can be better at customer service.”
Officially known as the National Cybersecurity Protection System, the program’s effectiveness has been heavily debated in the past few months. Homeland Security Secretary Jeh Johnson defended Einstein in February after a GAO audit found the system falling well short of its objectives.
Aside from Einstein, Schneck also highlighted the recently launched Automated Indicator Sharing or AIS program, which allows private companies to share threat data with DHS which the agency then pushes out to its information sharing partners at machine speed.
“Now we are getting from a vaccine-based system, which comes from signatures and intrusion detection, to pushing antibodies through the internet and creating an immune system,” she said.
Schneck noted that these efforts were just the operational piece of the department’s cybersecurity portfolio — with much more coming from investigators at Immigration and Customs Enforcement and the U.S. Secret Service and even from the department’s CIO office.
“If you think about dhs.gov, that’s the world’s best petri dish,” she said. “The things that they see help all of us get smarter.”
Overall, Schneck’s message to the private sector was one of trust — getting companies to buy into their new information sharing programs while also asking them to help DHS build new tools on top of Einstein.
It was similar to the message Schneck told FedScoop earlier this year that “trust is awarded. The way you earn trust is to demonstrate your capability to be trusted.”
“Trust is our new currency,” she said.

It's What Plants Reach For!
Inda-Gro Induction Grow Lights provide your plants the best horticultural lighting for explosive growth and high yields from a single lamp source that is used for the entire vegetative through flowering cycle while saving between 60-70% of the energy consumed by traditional lamp technologies.
How does EFDL benefit Plant Growth?
Inda-Gro Induction lamps are a type of High Output Fluorescent lamp that are known as Electrode less Fluorescent Discharge Lamps or EFDL for short. Unlike conventional lamps which require screw in sockets or pins to power up the lamps, the EFDL induction lamp does not rely on a socket or pin connection to power the lamp. Instead EFDL efficiencies derive from being powered by a high frequency electromagnetic field. Without the use of pins, sockets or ballasts to operate the lamp, more energy is converted into usable plant light and not wasted due to the high temperatures and escaping gas inefficiencies that is inherent of lamps requiring electrodes.
First introduced and patented in 1891 by Nikola Tesla, induction lamps, while expensive, were always prized for their; High Lumens per watt, Low Operating Temperatures, Crisp Color, Long Lamp Life and Low Lumen Depreciation over their entire life. Inda-Gro's EFDL Bi-Spectrum lamps have affordably combined the proven benefits of this technology with the unique spectral requirements so essential for robust plant development.
Inda-Gro's custom horticultural phosphor blends are designed to be used as a primary grow light from vegetative on through flowering and budding stages. Moreover our fixtures replace the need for higher wattage fixtures and the lamp changes normally associated with different growth periods.
When comparing other types of energy efficient grow lamps, such as LED, your investment in an Inda-Gro fixture will prove to be the longest lasting, most energy efficient, zero stress, zero maintenance grow lamp you will ever own.
Let There be Light!
We can all thank Thomas Edison, who in 1879 patented the incandescent lamp which provided the world with the first mass production light bulb that would eventually replace the use of kerosene oil lamps.
The Edison lamps created light by use of internal electrodes, or wires, that burn a filament inside the glass bulb enclosure and lasted only an average of 1,200 hours before requiring replacement. This worked out to a lamp replacement every 4 months if burned just 10 hours a night. Edison lamps while not long lasting or energy efficient propelled Edison's lamp business to become a huge commercial success. Early Edison investors, such as Vanderbilt and J.P. Morgan, realized extraordinary continuous profits from supplying the world with the purchase and resupply of Edison lamps.
While today's internal electrode type lamps have improved from the original Edison lamp, most (up to 90%) of the energy consumed continues to be wasted as heat and escaping gas from the lamp. These inefficiencies are attributable to lamp depreciation through lowered lumen output and shortened lamp life with lamp replacement being the only accepted remedy. Lamp replacement sales continue to drive enormous industry profits.
What Tesla knew then, Growers know now
Beginning with the proven efficiencies of low wattage and high output EFDL technology, Inda-Gro lamps combine a blend of rare earth phosphors to supply the proper spectrums of our plants overall lighting needs.
- Saves up to 70% in electrical loads.
- Emits 95% PAR usable light.
- Excellent canopy penetration.

This CNN story is a bit off the wall (the title is “Brain downloads ‘possible by 2050′”); it is mostly about how the new PlayStation 3 and other modern supercomputers are approaching the computational power of the brain. From the article:
“The new PlayStation is one percent as powerful as the human brain,” Pearson told the Observer. “It is into supercomputer status compared to 10 years ago. PlayStation 5 will probably be as powerful as the human brain.” [Pearson is “head of British Telecom’s futurology unit”.]
But is this really an accurate estimate?
We were discussing this story in lab and my advisor came up with this analysis:
PlayStation 3 has 0.3 x 10^9 transistors and runs at 3 x 10^9 Hz.
That works out to 10^18 switching operations per second.
Your brain has 10^15 synapses running at 10^3 Hz.
That also works out to 10^18 elementary operations per second.
So it’s arguable that PlayStation 3 is just as powerful as your brain,
in terms of raw computational power. We just don’t know how to organize
that power properly.

The Everline Future 50 is a growing community of disruptive and game-changing businesses.
In March, Create was chosen to cater its Everline Future 50 conference, where newcomers were presented.
From fintech heavyweights such as Funding Circle and TransferWise to digital trailblazers including Ve Interactive and Somo, The Everline Future 50 initiative has been a runaway success when it comes to identifying disruptive enterprises early on.
During the daytime conference, guests enjoyed a selection of street food stalls. Each stall was themed according to the cuisine being served. Guests enjoyed dishes including tacos, quesadillas and burritos at the Tex Mex stall. At the American street food stall, guests were served mac ‘n’ cheese, salt beef bagels, sliders, Texas fries, buttermilk chicken and dirty dogs. Or, for something a little different, guests could head to the South African Braai, to enjoy Bunny Chow, Bobotie (minced curried lamb with apricots and onions topped with an egg custard and baked), chicken samosas or Sosa Ties – skewered meat or vegetarian kebabs.
Following the conference part of the day, awards were presented to the ‘Disruptor of the Year: Revolut’, ‘Friend to Business: Absolute Barrister’ and ‘Household Name of the Future: Touchnote’ amongst others.
During the evening, guests enjoyed canapés such as smoked haddock and caper croquettes, steak tartare, and slow-cooked maple aubergine, as well as bowl food dishes including Charred bavette – triple cooked maple parsnips, roast celeriac and bone marrow, and Confit salmon – roast salmon dashi, pickled red onions, crisp rye bread and cream cheese. Dessert canapes were served from lollipop stands, the Calamansi meringue lollipops went down very well with guests.

Too many things. Internal chaos. Just write something, just write anything, it’s better than nothing, it’s better than having it all jammed up in your head –
Where shall I start? I guess I should start with the holiday. Already the holiday seems far behind me and I am hurtling into the future towards therapy and psych appointments and house viewings and other anxiety provoking things.
But I’m so damn jittery and so fucking buzzy and have so many things to say I fear I won’t be able to say any of it. I’d take a lorazepam right now, even though it’s not quite eight am, except I’m trying to stop relying on it so much. I relied on it throughout the holiday – I had taken 3mg before my train reached London. On Saturday night in Poitiers I was in such a state I knew the safest thing for me to do was to be unconscious, so I took 4mg lorazepam and 15mg zopiclone and slept for nine hours straight. On Sunday night I relied on beer, drunk alone in my hotel room because I simply couldn’t deal with any more People. These are not healthy coping strategies and I do not endorse them, but you know what – who cares, they got me through. And I fucking did it, I went to France with a group of strangers and I survived! And I had some amazing and powerful experiences in the caves that I wouldn’t have missed for the world, even if some of it was excruciatingly difficult.
Then yesterday, as if to highlight the contrasts in my life, and my eternally fluctuating functionality, I found myself in a room with another group of strangers at an art course for people with mental health problems, asked to wear a sticky label with my name on it and say something about myself, and I absolutely couldn’t do it. I panicked, and froze, and couldn’t say a word, and had to leave. This is how my life is. This is how it goes.
And now I’ve run out of words, as well as milk and food and (almost!) toilet paper, so I’d better take my paranoid self to the shop, and soon.

Yuan L, et al. (2012) Molecular characterization of a rice metal tolerance protein, OsMTP1. Plant Cell Rep 31(1):67-79
Abstract: Rice (Oryza sativa L. 'Nipponbare') cDNA subtractive suppression hybridization (SSH) libraries constructed using cadmium (Cd)-treated seedling roots were screened to isolate Cd-responsive genes. A cDNA clone, encoding the rice homolog of Metal Tolerance Protein (OsMTP1), was induced by Cd treatment. Plant MTPs belong to cation diffusion facilitator (CDF) protein family, which are widespread in bacteria, fungi, plants, and animals. OsMTP1 heterologous expression in yeast mutants showed that OsMTP1 was able to complement the mutant strains' hypersensitivity to Ni, Cd, and Zn, but not other metals including Co and Mn. OsMTP1 expression increased tolerance to Zn, Cd, and Ni in wild-type yeast BY4741 during the exponential growth phase. OsMTP1 fused to green fluorescent protein was localized in onion epidermal cell plasma membranes, consistent with an OsMTP1 function in heavy metal transporting. OsMTP1 dsRNAi mediated by transgenic assay in rice seedlings resulted in heavy metal sensitivity and changed the heavy metal accumulation in different organs of mature rice under low-concentration heavy metal stress. Taken together, our results show that OsMTP1 is a bivalent cation transporter localized in the cell membrane, which is necessary for efficient translocation of Zn, Cd and other heavy metals, and maintain ion homeostasis in plant.

The game is mostly free, but has some paid features you can access if you want to dive in deeper.
With their hilarious commercials and interactive gameplay, this one has rounded up a devoted following, quickly climbing to the top as one of the most downloaded games for Android. In this tale of warriors and wizards, users build a village into a fortress, and fight with charismatic characters in the struggle for victory.

With 140 levels, new game modes, and new candies to add even more sticky sweetness to its appeal, Candy Crush Soda Saga is bound to become your next gaming fix.
In this adorable cubic game, users get to play on the age old question, Why did the chicken cross the road? With gameplay reminiscent of Frogger, users dodge obstacles as they attempt to get a chicken safely across roads, rivers, grass, and train tracks, all in one piece. The game has 11 secret characters you can unlock, and coin currency you can use to ‘buy’ additional mascots.
With over 2 million downloads and no end in sight to its popularity, Crossy Road’s viral outbreak into the domain of top Android games is far from over.
Bar flies and pool sharks rejoice – have a cold one and check out this wildly popular Android game that takes competitive pool to the online world. Challenge your friends via Facebook in one on one matches, or face up to eight opponents in an all our tourney as you compete for trophies and coins.

This is far from your simple burger joint routine though – the game features over 400 dishes, and 150 ingredients to keep you on your toes.
With over 300 levels to keep you on edge, and even upgrades you can make to your appliances and restaurant interior, this game has officially taken the restaurant madness gameplay to the next level.
Maybe it’s just me, but this game seems to have a very Super Nintendo-ish feel to it. The pixelated geometric graphics and obstacle course gameplay resemble that of an early Mario, but with cute little geometric somethings instead of mustached plumbers.
If the controls are a little tricky to get used to at first, start out with Geometry Dash’s practice mode to get the feel for things. Then it’s on to some adventurous antics, with cool effects like gravity reversal to keep you entertained for hours.
Calling all brainiacs – this is your chance to challenge your friends in a virtual battle of the wits. Trivia Crack is a lot like Trivial Pursuit, but without the cards in the dusty box to mess about with. This virtual trivia game pits users against each other in categories like Science, Art, Sports, and History to test your knowledge and fire up those brain cells.
It may seem a lot like homework, but this game is ridiculously addictive, and with over 4 million downloads, I’d say a few other people are inclined to agree.
This delightfully chaotic battle strategy game takes online gaming to the next level, with an intense interactive setup that allows you to engage in battles with millions of other players all over the world. Form alliances, wage wars, and win battles as you attack enemy bases to free enslaved islanders.
This game isn’t just for battling it out though – there’s a massive virtual island to explore, with gems to collect, and resources to harness. In this game, adventure meets strategy with a great big picture feel to it. For a mobile game, Boom Beach is brimming with possibilities for endless gameplay, and a saga that you’ll never want to end.
One final note, downloading games and using public or unsecured Wi-Fi can leave you open to hackers and other cybercrimes. Therefore, it’s best to have a VPN (Virtual Private Network) installed on your device first. This will encrypt the connection, protecting you from having your information stolen and also from viruses and malware.
Forget cutting the grass, let the dishes pile up, and eat some other time – get comfy and sink into one of these guilty pleasures for some of the best mobile gaming there is.

The NSW Government is funding works to widen the Sturt Highway to four lanes over Marshalls Creek Bridge. The project aims to improve safety and ease congestion on the Sturt Highway through Wagga Wagga.
SEP 2021Detailed design and Review of Environmental Factors
The detailed design has been released for the Marshalls Creek Bridge replacement.More information
Transport for NSW is working to fix a major pinch point and improve safety for all road-users at Marshalls Creek Bridge. The Review of Environmental Factors (REF) (PDF, 27.1Mb) has now been published online. For more information, view the latest postcard notification (PDF, 3.49Mb).
MAR 2021Planning is under way for replacing Marshalls Creek Bridge
Transport for NSW has awarded detailed design for the replacement of Marshalls Creek Bridge to SMEC.More information
We are now developing the project including progressing detailed design, carrying out early works including utility relocation and completing environmental investigations.
See the latest community update (PDF, 5.85Mb) for an overview of the project, including the project timeline and next steps.
Marshalls Creek Bridge is an existing two-way, two lane access route for vehicles travelling on the Sturt Highway in Wagga Wagga. The bridge limits traffic flow, forcing vehicles to slow down through this section of the highway.
Transport for NSW is proposing to replace the crossing with a wider, longer bridge to ease congestion and improve safety in the area. The Marshalls Creek Bridge replacement will:
- Improve safety for all road users
- Improve traffic flow and efficiency, reducing the bottleneck that occurs during peak times
- Improve safety for pedestrians and cyclists.
We anticipate detailed design to be complete during 2021 at which time a construction contractor will be engaged and work will start.
Work on the bridge is expected to be completed late 2023. We will keep the community updated as the project progresses.

Veteran Lawyer, the president councilor and the chairman of the Office of Missing Persons has, on his Facebook wall published an opinion regarding the statement made by Cardinal Malcolm Ranjith saying that Human Rights is not something worth to worry about if the teachings of religions are followed properly.
The comment posted by Saliya Pieris:
“If this report is accurate it is a shame the way the Cardinal downplays the importance of human rights. He seems to be absolutely ignorant of the concepts of human rights. He also fails to understand that there are many people who dont believe in religion and that religion cannot be forced on people.. What a contrast to the progressive thinking of Pope Francis. If it is inaccurate he must deny this.”
Cardinal’s opinion expressed at the morning service of the St. Matthew’s Roman Catholic Church in Ekala was that the western countries have begun to teach Lankan society the value of Human Rights whereas religious teachings preached in Lanka from early history, and nothing new. The leader of Christian Council also condemned role of various atheistic activists calling them the ones those who value the luxuries of worldly life regardless of choice between good and bad.
Cardinal Malcolm Ranjith, as quoted by Newspapers said:
“Human rights was found recently. If we can live in a correct manner there is no need for human rights. Those who do not practice religion are the ones who hang on human rights. We should not deceive by these charms. We should act wisely,”

The singer said looking through shots of the group recording the Sound Of The Underground video in 2002 made her feel like she'd been "transported back to that freezing cold shoot in an empty warehouse where none of us could hardly believe what was happening or even knew what to do".
"Happy Anniversary to the song that changed our lives!" Roberts, 37, wrote.
"20 years ago today Sound Of The Underground went to number 1 and stayed there for 4 consecutive weeks.
"Thank you @peterloraine @polydorrecords for these behind the scenes pictures.
"I’ve been sitting here going through them all and feel like I’ve been transported back to that freezing cold shoot in an empty warehouse where none of us could hardly believe what was happening or even knew what to do."
Fans of the group were thrilled to see the throwback images.
One posted: "Oh. OH. Oh, wow. Wow, wow, wow! That's history right there! Thank you for sharing these! GA forever!"
"Beautiful photos!" said another.
"Thank you so much for sharing these memories. Happy 20th anniversary SOTU!"
