We were both in the same boat—it was our first time at DOY and we didn’t know anybody. We were in the same cabin that weekend, so that’s how we initially met each other. Over the course of that weekend, and the past four years, our relationship has grown so much stronger and now we can talk to each other about anything. I never really thought that I would be so important to anybody to make them keep doing something they love, but Raegan has expressed to me that I am the reason she still comes to camp as often as she does. Camp definitely has given me some of the best friends I could ever ask for, and has created so many wonderful relationships in my life.
It was hard at first lying to people, but then it was just a routine that I did over and over again. After a while it became a habit. We met at a local building downtown Boston. It was like a storage place but to be honest I really didn’t know what it was.
He is good friends with my family. I never really called him Ryan Minnich, but I feel that we are close enough to be on a first name basis. I know now that I could call him and talk to him anytime about anything. Anything he needs me to do I would do because he cares about me and has done for me.
We get to college and we have to go to orientation. They split the freshman into groups and Liam and I are in the same orientation group. Everyone introduces themselves to the group and we talk about what we want to do when we get out of college. We head back to our dorms and unpack. And my roommate is really nice and we become friends.
After reading Chapters five and six and watching the Sesame Street clip viewed in class, I can say that I can relate the two to the effects of media use in toddlerhood and early childhood. The video The Good Birds Club portrays an excellent example of how the media can play a positive role in toddlerhood and early childhood. This episode introduces the issue of bullying and teaches the children the prosoical skills that are necessary to prevent this problem with children. In “The Good Birds Club,” when Big Bird gets bullied by another bird in the neighborhood, Elmo and Abby help children understand the difference between reporting and tattling. In addition, the episode encourages children to seek the help of an adult they trust when faced with
Relationships do not just happen. They seem to just form, but they actually follow a natural process that must be worked through. Sam Avers and I became friends in fifth grade. We were introduced through a mutual friend and we have been friends since then. Therefore, we have grown a pretty close relationship.
We are both teenagers living a regular teenage life in our society. Where we live, basically everyone one knows everyone else. Also, we are both strong people. I am strong because of my parents divorce, which I have also learned how to treat people and how not to treat people. I also have learned respect for everyone’s feelings.
After that we started hanging out, that was are freshman year and know I am going to be a senior. The only him I could think about that was as upset as me was Grayson, everybody else was sad for a week then got over it. New captain of the football team, new everything he was completely erased from everyone 's memory except me and Grayson 's. I always wondered why Grayson hated me, I think it was because as me and Dexter started dating Grayson had to hang out with us. Dex would set him up with girls, and make him come to the malls with us, movies, out to eat anywhere.
In our short lives, we meet so many people and most we will not remember in a few years (besides our families of course). Once in a while you meet a special person that never leaves your memories for me, that person is Sierra Lourdes Guitron. We met about eight years ago in 4th grade when we were both around eight or nine years old. Of course, at the time we never imagined we would grow this close; actually, we did not even have a full conversation until 8th grade!!! We became best friends in 9th and since then we have been close to inseparable!
Every person has their story. Good or bad no one is without a story. Ask yourself, are you afraid of your story? Have you been running from your past while chasing a better future? Once I learned to stop running from my story and embrace it instead, my life has been better.
It always works out in the end. But recently i have to get over a relationship with a girl that i loved very much. Long story short, She kicked me out of her life because is tired of fighting for us. But now i stand before you a person who loves helping people and likes to make people smile and laugh and lifts people up.
Yes, I'm going to Lucky Eagle on the 10th; that's my standard casino bus trip. However, the more I go to Red Wind; the more I like it. Their new non-smoking section is bigger and much nicer. Maybe some day, you can join me on that trip.

Perhaps I don't understand what this process is suppose to accomplish. I
thought it was to allow building of icedtea/opendjk using classpath/cacao
(instead of apple's jdk). So, I have classpath installed and configured to
use cacaovm, but during the icedtea build process it downloads cacao and
tries to build it. The build fails since there is linux specific code in:
jvm.c:3719:3: error: #error not implemented for this OS
I don't know why this did not happen when I built it manually.
So, does this mean that it is trying to build cacao instead of the openjdk

I haven’t tried the new food sterilization system, but I’ve read about it. As I understand it, you put the food you want to clean into a bowl that comes with the machine, add tap water and then hook the bowl up to the machine itself, which then infuses the water with ozone. After a few minutes, the food supposedly is 99.9 percent free of bacteria and almost all pesticide residues.
Ozone, a highly reactive form of oxygen, has long been used as a water sanitizer, and ozone-infused cold water is now widely used by the food preparation industry to clean equipment and surfaces that come in contact with food. This eliminates the need for sterilization with scalding water or chlorine.
Ozone is said to be 50 percent more powerful and to act 3,000 times faster than chlorine at 100 times the strength. If it works as well as advertised on bacteria such as salmonella and E. coli, protozoa such as giardia and cryptosporidium and viruses such as those that cause hepatitis, it should go a long way in the direction of food safety. You’re also supposed to use ozone-infused water from the machines to clean everything from countertops and stoves to children’s toys and pacifiers. The water also is promoted as a way to remove stains and mold and mildew and to deodorize. That would be a big plus if it really works.
This new commercial trend was set in motion by FDA approval in 2001 of ozone as an additive to kill food-borne pathogens, a decision that enabled food processors to use ozone in their plants. Since then, the Lotus Sanitizing System designed for home use was introduced and named one of the "Best Inventions of 2006" by TIME Magazine. It has gotten a lot of enthusiastic press elsewhere.
As far as safety is concerned, the ozone in the infused water in the machine or used for cleaning breaks down and is not a problem. My concern would be how much, if any, leaks into the air while the machine is in use, since ozone is toxic. The manufacturer says that any ozone that leaks remains reactive for only 15 minutes and amounts to only a tiny fraction of the 0.3 parts per million at which ozone can cause throat and lung irritation, and an even smaller fraction of the 0.5 parts per million that triggers ozone-associated smog alerts in Los Angeles. And ozone does break down quickly to ordinary oxygen. According to the manufacturer, any ozone leaked from these systems would break down long before it could reach and benefit the diminishing ozone layer.
The system sounds good to me, but I wonder whether enough people will pay the $170-plus cost for it to catch on.

Mayor Deb Kozak has been asked to present to upcoming conferences about three city initiatives in which she says the outside world sees Nelson as being “ahead of the curve.”
She and her staff have been invited to make presentations and take part in panel discussions, one on marijuana legislation and another on short term rental housing, at the upcoming Union of BC Municipalities (UBCM) conference in Vancouver this month.
And Kozak will be travelling to Victoria to address a Canadian Mental Health Association conference about the Nelson Street Culture Collaborative and its activities.
“It is amazing, as a small city, how much we are able to accomplish and how we are gaining the attention of other groups and governments,” Kozak told the Star.
A Canadian Mental Health Association conference in Victoria at the end of November will address mental health and addiction.
Kozak will talk about the Nelson Street Culture Collaborative, a group of 36 people from police, social services, faith, mental health, business, local government, education, health, and public works who have, over the past 18 months, been exploring how Nelson can better understand and support those who rely on the street to survive.
She said she will tell the conference about two of the collaborative’s initiatives: hiring two street outreach workers and offering courses in mental health first aid to businesses, social services workers and the public.
Short term rentals
Kozak said Nelson is “ahead of the curve by dealing with short term rentals (such as Airbnb) as quickly as we have. The rest of the province is interested in the bylaws we are developing to regulate this. There are many communities who have not begun to work on this.”
Over the summer, the city hired an urban planning student, Alex Thumm, who ran a detailed consultation process that has resulted the city amending its business licence, zoning, and off-street parking bylaws and creating a new short term rental business licence. His process included the participation of many short term rental operators.
This work showed short term rentals to be a broad issue affecting parking, business licencing, neighbourhood quality, and the long-term rental housing market.
Kozak will be on a short term rental panel at the UBCM conference with politicians from Radium, Tofino, and Sun Peaks.
Kozak said she and city manager Kevin Cormack will tell the UBCM conference that in anticipation of marijuana legalization, the city has been working with the police, medical marijuana dispensary owners and the community to prepare for it, and updating its bylaws.
“Although it is not legal at this time, we are monitoring the shops that are open,” she said, “and we are working with police to make sure they are operating in a safe space and respectful manner, and we continue to have a rapport with all these owners. It is not that we are turning a blind eye — the police visit them regularly and we are monitoring how it is going.
“We have shut down two of them, and it was because it was obvious they were selling to minors. And there is one case where people would resell the product right outside the door. That is not medical marijuana. And in another one they were smoking on site, and we do not allow that.”
Nelson currently has eight marijuana dispensaries.
The city will also be submitting two resolutions about marijuana to the UBCM. One will ask the federal and provincial governments for a coordinated approach to regulation of marijuana and give municipal governments time and resources to do this when a new federal law is enacted.
The second resolution asks that municipal governments receive a fair share of the revenue from taxation of marijuana sales.
Referring to the marijuana, mental health, and short term rental initiatives, Kozak said, “It is not just council and city staff doing this. Our entire community is aware and involved and they don’t sit back and wait for things to happen. They make them happen.”

The new head of the armed forces has vowed to stamp out bogus claims against Troubles veterans, sparking criticism from Sinn Féin.
The party has branded Chief of the Defence Staff General Sir Nick Carter’s comments, made at a media briefing at RAF Coningsby in Lincolnshire,“extremely insulting”.
Taking up the top post, Sir Nick praised the “remarkable job” done by the British Army in Northern Ireland and said groundless allegations against soldiers risked undermining the Army’s fighting spirit.
“It is right and proper that if our soldiers have done something wrong, then they should clearly be investigated,” he said.
“But only if they have done something wrong.”
Sir Nick added: “What is fundamentally wrong though is if they're chased by people who are making vexatious claims - and that will not happen on my watch. Absolutely not.”
Sinn Féin Mid Ulster MLA Linda Dillon described the comments as hurtful and challenged Sir Nick to meet with families who have made claims over the actions of soldiers.
“I would call on the British Chief of the Defence Staff to provide evidence of any such ‘vexatious claims’,” Ms Dillon said.
“These comments are extremely insulting and will provide further hurt to families and victims of the conflict, some of whom have waited over 40 years for closure by way of an Article 2 investigation or inquest or the timely provision of disclosure in relation to the circumstances surrounding the death of their loved ones.”
However, Ulster Unionist MLA and former soldier Doug Beattie praised the comments from Sir Nick.
“The position we start from in Northern Ireland is one of imbalance,” he said.
“Terrorists have been able to avail of early release from prison, royal prerogatives of mercy or royal pardons, and over 200 ‘letters of comfort’ by the Blair government.
“Too many people have lost sight of the fact that 99% of victims during the Troubles were due to terrorist action, and just 1% of the 47,000 victims were due to the police or army.
“And unlike the security forces, every terrorist act was premeditated with unlawful death the intended outcome.”
Sir Nick's comments came after his predecessor said he was “deeply uncomfortable” at the prospect of veterans facing investigation for actions which occurred during the Troubles.
Air Chief Marshal Sir Stuart Peach, who stepped down as Chief of the Defence Staff in June, said it was a political decision as to whether there should be a statute of limitations on historical inquiries.
But he made clear that he was concerned at the way such investigations could play out.
A consultation document issued by Northern Ireland Secretary Karen Bradley on dealing with the legacy of the Troubles does not include provision for a statute of limitations, to the anger of many Conservative MPs.
But Defence Secretary Gavin Williamson has pledged to look at “all options” to protect veterans from legacy investigations, amid fears Second World War campaign survivors could be targeted.
Sir Nick said service personnel facing investigation would receive as much help as they needed.
He continued: “The point I’d make is that we as an institution ... are absolutely going to look after those people who are being investigated this way, to the best of our ability.”

A Deep Frying Guide to Turkey
Deep frying has been producing tasty food for many years, but one of the new fads to come about with deep frying is cooking a whole turkey this way. Many people are foregoing the oven method at Thanksgiving and going with the deep frying method – and it is producing amazingly delicious results.
Obviously, since whole turkeys are so large, you can’t cook one in a regular home deep fryer; you need a special turkey fryer to do the job. There are several good turkey fryers on the market today, and most of them have features that make them safe for deep frying such a large food item. Despite the safety features, however, the fact that you need to use a lot of oil and you are deep frying such a heavy food item still makes it a little more dangerous than deep frying smaller food items in a smaller home deep fryer, so following directions to the letter is a definite necessity. And, you should only use the turkey fryer outside. An advantage to deep frying a turkey rather than cooking it in the oven is the length of cooking time; a twelve pound turkey takes only about forty-five minutes to an hour to deep fry, as opposed to about 20 minutes per pound if it is baked in the oven.
First of all, for safety’s sake, you need to purchase a fryer specifically for deep frying turkeys. Many people each year try to rig up their own homemade deep fryers for cooking their turkeys, often with disastrous results. Turkey fryers can cost anywhere from to over 0 dollars, but it is worth it to spend the money if you want safety and a deep fried turkey that turns out right every time.
Turkey fryers can come in a few different varieties. There are those that are electric, and those that run on gas – usually propane. What type you use really depends on personal preference. A lot of people swear by the gas fryers for maximum flavor, but other people think that there really is no difference. As long as you buy a good quality turkey fryer and follow all of the directions, you are most likely going to get a delicious finished product.
Experienced cooks will tell you that one of the secrets to getting a good deep fried turkey is what you put on it before it goes into the fryer. Do some research and you will find a myriad of recipes for turkey rubs, and once again, which one you choose is a matter of personal preference. The bottom line is, though, that if you put a good rub on your turkey before you deep fry it, you’re going to get a finished product with better flavor.

A recidivist Auckland tax cheat has been sentenced to 10 months home detention and ordered to pay $92,400 reparation, following a second conviction for tax evasion offences.
Sonny Te Kanawa Walker, a 50-year-old carpet layer, was sentenced at Manukau District Court on a range of tax evasion offences, including not filing tax returns and not accounting for GST and income tax for six years.
Inland Revenue Group Manager, Investigations and Advice, Patrick Goggin said Walker's offending was calculated, deliberate and inexcusable.
"Walker was clearly aware of his tax obligations and he wilfully chose to ignore them. He had already been convicted of these types of offences once before so there was no way he didn't understand his responsibility to file returns and pay tax," Mr Goggin said.
"By pocketing all of his income, he made a conscious decision he did not need to pay his fair share of tax while other honest New Zealand taxpayers did."
Walker worked as a self-employed carpet layer since 2004, charging clients for his labour and GST. In 2009 he was prosecuted by Inland Revenue for similar tax evasion offences, yet continued to offend.
"This sort of behaviour completely undermines our tax system, which is based on voluntary compliance," said Mr Goggin. "While the majority of taxpayers do the right thing, there is a few like Walker who think they can hang on the coattails of others and get away with not paying."
"That money Walker should have paid would have gone towards vital Government services that we all rely on, such as hospitals, schools and welfare."
Mr Goggin said Inland Revenue was working hard to make sure tradespeople were aware of their tax obligations. A survey of tradies after a recent marketing campaign showed those who thought that cheating on their tax was a crime had increased by 40% since 2012.
The amount of unpaid tax from the combined offending, including penalties and interest, is more than $440,000.

It was really an FBI sting.
Both men pleaded guilty in U.S. District Court last September. But on
Thursday, Judge Patricia Gaughan spared them prison time, sentencing
them to six months of house arrest and three years' probation.
Gaughan told the men she had a hard time making a decision. They seemed
to have learned from their mistake and moved on with their lives, she
said, but their crime was serious.
"The potential for harm was enormous," the judge said.
In 2002, Arvidson, a Hiram College graduate, had a company called

protecting wireless computer networks from hackers.
They bragged in a Crain's Cleveland Business article that they had
breached a number of wireless networks and that companies should hire
them to perform security audits.

After working on something small, detailed and intense I like to give my focus and brain a vacation. One of my favorite ways to do that is something I call recreational patchwork. I started a Fortuny patchwork piece today. I have lots of very small swatches and some longish strips – drapery scraps. It is good daydreamy work. It requires just the right amount of my attention for letting ideas percolate. It’s a peaceful, gentle state.
I work quickly – making strips and then sewing them together – log-cabin-ish I guess. Nothing is planned – I just grab pieces randomly. Nothing is measured, corners aren’t square and seams are less than straight. I bounce between the machine and the ironing board. I love the energy of it, I love the result and it’s such fun to do – to not think or plan and see what turns up – embrace the happenstance, appreciate the happy accidents.
Get the song bird sewing pattern.
It was a welcome shift after working on a trio of 18th century songbirds for one million years. Songbirds are focused and detailed. I want something particular from each of them and I can’t stop until I get it. The prize at the end is I get to photograph them – and that is such fun.

Love your colorful songbirds – they are apparently listening for worms! Love the postures of the three together!
The beaks on the birds look like whittled bone… tho probably not. Precisely beaks.. Takes a sort of genius to turn these little scraps and worn out stuff into such lovely artful creatures and objects. Always a joy to get a new post.


I think of myself as in large part free to do what I want. For example, I can now freely choose to raise my arm, or not to, as the fancy takes me. But perhaps this impression of freedom and control is misleading. In this article Helen Steward explains how the findings of science seems to suggest that we ultimately have no control at all over how our lives go.

Covering a few major sights in a busy city is a challenge, but one well met by our driver and tour guide. Our very comfortable van took us to a high point - La Popa - which provided a nice view of the city and an explanation of its geography and economic significance. Got photos and a phony Panama hat from a vendor at Castillo San Felipe, a very impressive fort built during Spanish occupation. A tour through the Emerald Museum and a stroll across a main plaza topped off this tour beautifully.
Benny, the tour guide is a human microphone. has the the loudest voice so needs no microphone. sometimes too loud if right next to him. but very knowledgeable.

Fortunately we had a private tour. It was great

Smith explains the political implications of the deistic repudiation of special revelation and miracles.
So far my series on “Freethought and Freedom” has covered some ideas defended by early deists and other freethinkers. And though I have mentioned some political implications of the deistic criticisms of orthodox Christianity, I have not presented a comprehensive overview of those implications. To do so is the purpose of this essay.
Many deists were in the Lockean political tradition. According to John Locke, in the state of nature (before the formation of political society) people enjoyed “natural liberty.” This referred to an anarchistic society without government, a condition of equal rights in which there is no political authority, dominion, or subordination—a society in which (in Locke’s words) all “Power and Jurisdiction is reciprocal, no one having more [rights] than another.” Political sovereignty, which demands that subjects obey rulers, is not a natural condition of mankind; no one is born with the moral authority to rule over others. Only through a process of consent can individuals alienate some of their rights by transferring them, or the power to enforce them, to a sovereign. This is done, according to Lockeans, to render the rest of our rights—especially the rights to life, liberty, and property—more secure than they would be in a state of nature.
Although Locke did not originate the notion of equal rights and liberty in a society without government—similar theoretical models had been posited by previous philosophers—it was Locke’s formulation that exerted the most influence among deists and other classical‐liberal freethinkers. This point is essential if we are to understand the characteristic hostility shown by deists to special revelation, in contrast to natural revelation. Unlike natural revelation, or the knowledge of nature acquired by the natural faculty of reason, special revelation refers to a divine communication supposedly transmitted directly from God to a particular person or group of persons. Thereafter, those special, inspired agents who received the divine message—commonly known as prophets—tell others what God supposedly told them.
Deists rejected this approach, which is found in all revealed religions (including Christianity, Judaism, and Islam), because the prophet, in claiming to have received a special revelation from God, cloaks his knowledge claims with a special cognitive status; that is to say, the prophet claims to possess knowledge that others cannot verify directly by the use of reason. Moreover, the prophet, claiming to act on God’s behalf, will sometimes assert a special political authority over others. And this entails that the doctrine of natural and equal rights, which generates a theory of government by consent, may be overridden by divine commands, as revealed through God’s appointed human agent.
Consider this hypothetical: A self‐proclaimed prophet enters a town and announces that he has been personally authorized and ordered by God to rule over that town and to punish sinners. God is angry with the inhabitants of that town, so he appointed his agent, the prophet, to communicate his displeasure and to punish sinners in his name. Skeptical Christians, having learned from the Bible about false prophets, would repudiate the would‐be dictator as an imposter, but this raises the question: By what objective criteria can we differentiate between true and false prophets? One sign of an authentic prophet, as traditionally accepted in Christianity, was the ability to perform miracles. Even this sign was problematic, however, for leading Christian theoreticians, such as Augustine, conceded that demons and other minions of Satan can also perform miracles. But let’s bypass this glitch and focus on the implications if a self‐identified prophet is able to persuade others of his divine mission through the performance of apparent miracles. If this happens, then the prophet will have legitimized his political dominion and his right to punish sinners. This political right to rule will be a special, revealed right with divine authorization, not a natural right possessed by everyone. And that revealed right will not depend on the consent of the governed, since it was bestowed on the prophet directly by God, who does not require the consent of his creatures to enforce his will.
My hypothetical—which is really not all that hypothetical—illustrates the enormous political implications of special revelation. Political absolutism was typically defended by appealing to the will of God as revealed in that repository of special revelation known as the Bible. Consider, for instance, the following passage by Paul (Romans 13.1–2, RSV), which had an incalculable impact on Christian political theory and was the pillar passage used by defenders of unconditional obedience to an established government.
Let every person be subject to the governing authorities. For there is no authority except from God, and those that exist have been instituted by God. Therefore he who resists the authorities resists what God has appointed, and those who resist will incur judgment.
Now, if Paul had been viewed as a philosopher like any other philosopher, then his injunction to obey established governments would have carried no special significance. But since Christians believed Paul to be a major prophet inspired by God, his injunction was given special status as a divine command communicated through special revelation. In short, to disobey Paul’s injunction would be to disobey the will of God.
A similar and oft‐quoted passage appears in I Peter 2.13–14.
Be subject for the Lord’s sake to every human institution, whether it be to the emperor as supreme, or to governors as sent by him to punish those who do wrong and to praise those who do right.
This passage was often invoked to justify our duty to obey even tyrannical governments, since tyrants were sent by God to punish a sinful nation. Of course, those Christians who later defended the rights of resistance and revolution against tyrannical governments found ways around the doctrine of passive obedience, but for this they needed to depart from the traditional interpretation of the two New Testament passages (quoted above) and offer their own interpretation in its place.
The likelihood of conflicting interpretations of special revelation did not pose as much of a theoretical problem for Catholics as it did for Protestants. In the Catholic Church the pope was the ultimate arbiter of doctrinal controversies. His function was rather like that of the Supreme Court in American law; what the pope said was final, and that was the end of the matter (at least in theory). But Protestants, in rejecting papal authority and in maintaining that each person should use his or her own conscience to understand Scripture, generated a serious problem for themselves. Hundreds of Protestant sects arose, and their conflicting interpretations of the Bible frequently spilled over into politics. Thus Catholic critics of Luther, Calvin, and other Reformers were basically correct when they predicted that the Protestant approach to the Bible would result in a type of religious anarchy, as each individual viewed himself as the supreme authority in religious matters. Reverting to my previous analogy, the result was similar to what would happen if America had no Supreme Court, or judicial system of any kind, and each American was free to interpret and implement law according to his own judgment.
The English deists cut through this Gordian Knot by denying altogether the reasonableness of special revelation, especially if that revelation could not be verified independently by rational means. And as part of this critical project, they also argued that it is irrational to believe in miracles—for, as noted above, miracles were a sign by which a true prophet, a supposed communicator of special revelation, could allegedly be identified. Hence the deistic assault on Christian orthodoxy was anything but pointless, random criticisms of sincere religious believers. The deists, contrary to their critics (then and now), did not wish to undermine the moral foundations of society. Profound political issues were involved in the deistic controversy; in particular, the liberal deists wished to block the path by which defenders of political sovereignty demanded the unconditional obedience of subjects, on the basis of claims to special revelation that attempted to bypass rational justification.
There were many facets to the deistic agenda, but it is important to understand their basic attitude to special revelation and miracles. As believers in an omnipotent, omniscient, and benevolent God of Nature, the deists did not deny the ability of God to communicate personally with selected individuals. Nor did deists deny the ability of God to perform miracles. Their criticisms (as we shall see in subsequent essays) were more complicated than that. For example, their typical criticism of miracles—as presented most famously by David Hume—focused not on the impossibility of miracles per se, but on the irrationality of believing reports of historical miracles. To witness an apparent miracle first‐hand is one thing, but to accept the report of another person who claims to have witnessed a miracle is another thing entirely. To assess the plausibility of historical miracles requires that we apply rational canons of historical judgment, and no historical miracle, according to the deists, will be able to pass that test.
Since the Bible is the basis of Christianity, and since Christians accepted the Bible as a historical document that relates authentic miracles, the deistic assault on historical miracles threatened to undercut the very foundation of Christianity; for to reject the authenticity of biblical miracles was to strip the Bible of its divine status and reduce it to the level of any other book. This is why Christian theologians reacted to the deistic movement with angry denunciations and vehement criticisms. Critics also understood the radical political implications of deism. If New Testament writers could not legitimately claim any special divine authority, then their theory of government and obedience, like any other political theory, required rational justification. If Christian rulers could not base their sovereignty on a special revelation from God, as reported in the Bible, then the Lockean theory of equal rights prevailed. No person was born with a natural authority or special rights over any other person, so Christian monarchs needed to explain and justify their supposed moral right to demand obedience from others.
Appeals to the equal rights of individuals—rights that cannot be overridden or nullified by a sovereign who seeks to justify his power by appealing to the Bible or other special revelation—appear in many deistic writings. Here is a typical passage from one of the most widely read deistic books of the eighteenth century, a book that elicited over 150 replies: Mathew Tindal’s Christianity as Old as the Creation, first published in 1730.
Human legislators are so far from having a right to deprive their subjects of this [natural] liberty, that their main end in submitting to government is, to be protected in acting as they think fit in such cases where no one is injured; and herein the whole of human liberty consists, the contrary being a state of mere vassalage; and men are more or less miserable, according as they are more or less deprived of this liberty; especially in matters of mere religion, wherein they ought to be most free.
The liberal deists attempted to safeguard the equal rights of individuals by discrediting all appeals to special revelation that sought to do an end run around natural rights and thereby justify political dominion over unwilling subjects. Of course, the deists knew that many orthodox Christians valued freedom and had no desire to use special revelation for nefarious political purposes. But the liberal deists also understood that freedom requires more than good intentions. They believed that a major Christian theory that had been used to justify despotism in the name of God should be dissected and refuted, point by point. This critical project, through detailed analyses of special revelation and miracles, resulted in the outright repudiation of anyone who claims to possess special rights bestowed by God.

Fishing fanatics from far across the globe choose to travel to the shores of Fraser Island to experience the diverse fishing that the island has to offer.
The options of surf and beach fishing, estuary, reef and deep sea all are worthy of wetting your line and hopefully snagging a ” Big One.”
Rarely does a fisherman return to the shore with an empty esky.
Best Fraser Island Fishing Times?
Fraser Island fishing fanatics from across the globe, who choose to travel to the shores of Fraser Island to experience the best fishing in the world want to know one thing.
When is the best time to go fishing?
Best time for Tailor fishing?
- July to October Tailor fishing
During the winter months from July to October Tailor fishing is most popular with anglers.
They line the beach like dominos side by side hauling in fish one after another in the gutters.
When is the Whiting season?
- July to March is Whiting season
Some anglers visit the island purely for the Whiting season from July to March.
It is regarded as the best in Australia producing decent-sized fish that make a great fry pan feed and are also easy for the kids to catch.
When is Closed Fishing season?
- August 1 to September 30 is the closed fishing season
Fishing is restricted around the island during this time.
Fishing Opportunities for Smaller Boats
For those who don’t have a big boat or just don’t want to have the hassle of dragging it along the sandy tracks and rocky outcrops.
Don’t worry – there are plenty of prime opportunities for smaller boats and Tinneys under 5 feet at the northern end of the island off Indian head, Waddy point and Orchid Beach.
If the weather is under 10 knots you can get the Tinny and troll along the shoreline for Mackerel and Tuna either using lures or live bait using Yakkas.
You can also try your luck fishing around the Marloo wreck that is just 100m from the shore up at Orchid Beach.
Remember, that during the closed fishing season (August 1 to September 30) the boundary extends 500m to sea and to the north, and this includes boats from Waddy Point to Indian head. Be sure to read the yellow signs that are displayed on the beach at this time to comply with the fisheries boundaries.
Gear up for and target Tailor with gang hooks and pilchards or try your luck with metal lures and start reeling those fish in.
Calm Water Fishing (Fly fishing)
The calm waters around the channel edge off Moon Point. (On the western side of the island.) And the estuary waters at Wathumba creek (South of Moon Point ) are renowned as some of the best Saltwater fly fishing hot spots in Australia.
Fly fishers come from all over the world to cast on the flat, sandy shallows near the island for milkfish and the chance to snag the highly sought golden trevally, Flathead is the most common catch of the day along with dart and whiting.
You may even land a nice Bream or Mangrove Jack when fishing around the mouth of the freshwater creeks. If you are not fly fishing the common cuisine for the flathead is the One arm bandit yabby.
You can catch these critters at low tide on the sand banks using a yabby pump. A few of them on your line will surely whet their appetite and snag you a feed for dinner.
Launching The Boat for Reef Fishing
Healthy and vibrant fish life swim amongst the hard and soft corals around the artificial reef Roy Rufus.
Expanding coral varieties attach themselves to the reef, encouraging nutrients and plankton to the area which in turn attract the fish.
It is made from approx. 2500 car wrecks, 12000 car tyres and thousands of tonnes of concrete have been dumped.
Where there was once nothing but a flat sea bed, is now a thriving underwater sociological haven for fish, coral and other sea creatures.
The reef was named after Roy Rufus, who lost his life in tragic circumstances whilst diving the Artificial Reef.
Fraser Island can boast that it has the best beach fishing anywhere on the Australian coastline.
When you see hundreds of anglers standing waist-deep in the surf during the peak tailor season, then you will believe it.
Beach fishing is best in the surf gutters that are found between the beach and the sand banks.
This is where the breaking waves or white water stirs up the food and smaller fish that attract the bigger fish.
The best time to catch up is at dawn or dusk.
It’s also a good idea to keep an eye out for birds feeding in the waters close to the shore.
These birds are a prime indicator that schools of fish are close by and a good place to cast your line.
Fishing on the rocks around Waddy Point is a popular spot as are the coffee rock spots dotted along 75-mile Beach on the western side.
Fishing off the rocks at Waddy point on Low tide catches all the fish.
Waddy Point has a reputation for catching some decent-sized Dart and Tailor.
Cast into the white water as the waves break along the rocks. Be prepared to lose a bit of bait and tackle but rest assured it is worth it when you catch a beauty.
Always remember to be vigilant when fishing off rocks.
Never turn your back to the waves and be careful of slippery rocks.
Hint : If you are fishing off the rocks at low tide keep an eye out for fishing tackle stuck between rocks and a hard place. You will find all sorts of lures and sinkers and may be able to retrieve some of your own if you lost any yourself.
The secret is out…Fraser is the place for you to catch squid. Platypus Bay and the rocks off Waddy point are great spots. Squid like rocky outcrops as a place to hide.
Early mornings and at the peak of high tide have worked for us. Pick your brightest-coloured squid jig and start casting. Squid is easy to catch if you remember to keep the pressure on once they are hooked.
A 20L bucket with a lid is perfect to hold them in once caught. Just fill them with water, carefully put them in and wait for them to empty their ink sack.
Getting them into the boat without being squirted with black ink is the tricky bit, Practice makes perfect…

El Paso, Texas, is plagued by 1,500 illegal migrants daily. Border Patrol agents along just one sector of the southern border are encountering approximately 1,500 illegal migrants each day, despite ongoing controversies over transporting a fraction of those numbers to more liberal areas in the United States.
Although Biden discusses the migrant crisis, he does not discuss the border crisis. An administration official stated on Thursday that the Biden administration is continuing to keep a close eye on the prospect of Republican governors secretly bringing groups of migrants to Democratic areas. The official was speaking on behalf of the government.
Republicans want a secure border. Republican governors like Texas’ Greg Abbott and, more recently, Florida’s Ron DeSantis have made a habit of moving migrants from their Sun Belt states to northern Democratic-voting areas. While their judgments may have policy justifications, there are also apparent political motives.

Van Marwijk: I will do it my way
Bert van Marwijk arrives in Australia after being appointed Socceroos coach
Familiar with Socceroos after leading Saudi Arabia in Russia 2018 qualifying
Van Marwijk says focus is ‘surviving the first round'
New Australia coach Bert van Marwijk says the Socceroos are good enough to progress into the knockout stage of the 2018 FIFA World Cup Russia™.
Speaking in Sydney on Thursday following his appointment as Australia coach last week, Van Marwijk made it clear he will implement his own style on the team.
The 65-year-old, who will be the third Dutchman to coach Australia at a World Cup, is familiar with his new side having coached Saudi Arabia against the Socceroos twice during Russia 2018 qualifiers.
A Van Marwijk-led Netherlands side suffered a 2-1 home defeat against Australia in 2008, two years prior to the coach famously leading his nation to the 2010 FIFA World Cup Final.
"They can play football, they try to play football, they are strong," Van Marwick said of his new team. "Maybe we don't have the best players but we can be the best team.
“I know a lot of the players, we played against you two times in the past year and we a lot of analysis of the players, but I have to learn them better.”
When asked about his playing style compared to former national team coach Ange Postecoglou, Van Marwijk said: "I have respect for the former coach, I do it my way."
The Asian champions will open their Russia 2018 campaign against group heavyweights France, before further outings against Denmark and Peru.
“If I didn’t have confidence in that then I would not be here, but I will say it will not be easy,” Van Marwijk added.
“I go to the World Cup with the only one thing that counts and that is to survive the first round. No-one has to tell me that it is difficult because our opponents are good countries."
Van Marwijk’s five-month tenure will commence in earnest in March with international matches against Norway and Colombia.

I didn't have much in the house so I decided to whip up a nut pate and came up with this creation. Basically, I just threw ingredients in the food processor until it tasted right! Which means that my measurements might be off, but this is pretty close and feel free to experiment! Also, I'm not sure about some of the ingredients but I think this pate can be considered raw as well because I used raw and untoasted nuts ( I just don't know about the process to make the hemp oil, if that is heated).
2 Cups of Walnuts
1/2 Cup of Almonds
1/3 Cup of Hemp Oil
1 Small Onion
3 Tablespoons of Ume Plum Vinegar
1 1/2 Tablespoons of Nama Shoyu or soy sauce
2 small garlic cloves or 1 1/2 Tablespoons of Garlic Powder
1 Tablespoon each of Oregano and Thyme (or whatever herbs/seasonings you would like to add)
Sea Salt and Black Pepper to taste
Give the food processor a whirl until all ingredients are blended together and it becomes a creamy like pate. I dipped raw broccoli, carrots and cauliflower into the pate for a light lunch. You could also serve it as spread with pita or flatbread crackers. Enjoy!

Sheriff’s deputies rolled up in armored vehicles early Tuesday to a rickety house in West Oakland, targeting a group of homeless mothers whose refusal to leave became a symbol of the region’s acute housing crisis.
In the inky predawn light, the deputies broke down the door at 2928 Magnolia St. and evicted the mothers, arresting four people while demonstrators chanted in the background. The operation — which ended when police placed boards on the home and a line of caution tape on 30th Street — quelled a two-month act of civil disobedience. Yet it also stirred up feelings of anger and desperation that ricocheted into City Hall.

Catherine Marrone, professor of sociology at Stony Brook University, has been named among the top 300 college and university professors in the nation by The Princeton Review in the newly released book, The Best 300 Professors. The book was developed in collaboration with RateMyProfessors.com, the highest-trafficked college professor ratings site in the United States, by using qualitative and quantitative data collected from students at thousands of colleges and universities across the nation.
“Professor Marrone is well-deserved of this recognition as one of the best 300 professors in the nation,” said Stony Brook University President Samuel L. Stanley Jr., MD. “Her dedication to our students and her drive to connect with them are just two of the many qualities that make her an outstanding educator and a true asset to this institution.”
Marrone teaches sociology to undergraduate students and serves as the director of undergraduate studies and as a faculty advisor in the multi-disciplinary studies major. Her goal is to broaden students’ perspective on understanding human behavior by using the social sciences while at the same time learning about and connecting to them as individuals.
“I really enjoy learning about my students and love to hear their ideas and thoughts,” said Marrone. “It is one of the best things about working on such a diverse campus.”
In her profile included in The Best 300 Professors, Marrone notes that she begins each semester by attempting to ease students’ hesitations about large classes. “I try to make a large class seem much smaller and more intimate,” she said. “I like my classes to feel interactive, and I truly want to hear what they have to say. My students say the most amazing things and I usually leave class thinking I learned something from them.”
Marrone received both her BA and PhD in sociology from Stony Brook University and completed a two-year post-doc at the Yale School of Medicine in the Department of Epidemiology and Public Health before joining the Stony Brook faculty in 1998.
“The State University of New York takes great pride in its faculty and we could not be more pleased that five of our best and brightest have been named to The Princeton Review’s Top 300 list,” said SUNY Chancellor Nancy L. Zimpher. “Congratulations to Professor Marrone on this much-deserved national distinction.”

Would their be a big difference in accuracy at 100-200 meters if I were shooting with OPEN SIGHTS of these STOCK rifles:
-M14 (STOCK, no trigger job, no unitizing, NM FH, just stock)
Your going to get a lot of different opinions on this.
As an HK fan and PTR owner ,I have to say,the
M1A is the most accurate stock ,open sights,
no mods and a relaxed firing speed.
Simply put ,the M1A has a huge advantage with a much
longer sight radius.
Usually ,a longer sight radius means slower repeat shots.
The PTR is second and the FAL last.
IMHO FAL stock sights suck.
Heated up with extremely fast shooting ,
PTR 1st ,M1A second ,and FAL far behind.
The FALs I've seen heat up and their groups spread
The fluted barrels on HK style rifles help them maintain
more of their accuracy at higher rates of fire.
Now ,a stock M1A with good parts is going to probably start at $1,200
and rise quickly.
A PTR starts at $700 and you can get about all you want (excluding pricy glass)
well before reaching that $1,200 price.
Just a thought .
how they shoot is up to you.
ammo is a big factor too Vasilli

This holiday season many will unwrap a brand new smartphone, but many won’t probably be around next year. A survery by the Los Angeles based strategic consulting firm Kelton Global, says 12% of all new smartphones will have to be replaced or repaired within a year.
WaterSeal Technology, a Calgary (Canada) based company has come to the rescue, with their new revolutionary nano-technology protects your phone and keeps it safe from accidental water damage, all without a case!
After eight months of research, Craig Dunn and his business partner Mike Wellwood were left with a heaping pile of broken smartphones and an affordable, undetectable waterproofing solution for seven of the world’s best selling smartphones, including the iPhone, Blackberry and Samsung.
Wateseal’s struggle is convinving the consumer. One, the new phone has to be shipped to Calgary where the process is applied. Imagine getting a brand new phone and then having to part with for days – or weeks depending on where you live – without first playing with it?
[quote] Unfortunately the process is too costly to ship to and from Calgary and Costa Rica[/quote]
“We basically try and grow a microscopic layer on your phone”, Dunn says, explaining that it’s a physical attractn to the parts of the phone, rather than dumping it on top.
The process costs $49.99 (Canadian), plus shipping costs.
The process applies a protective nano-coating to the electronic device to protect it from accidental exposure to liquids. The nano-coating is introduced in vapour form, and it permeates the entire device, bonding to it on a molecular level and leaving it protected for years to come.

The Internal Revenue Service (IRS) has walked back a requirement for taxpayers to use facial recognition to access their online accounts amid negative feedback, and pledged to switch to a completely different identity verification system next year.
This follows the agency's decision to "transition away" from using the ID.me third-party service to authenticate people creating accounts by using facial recognition to confirm their identities.
Activists and lawmakers said using video selfies in this capacity was an invasion of privacy.
The IRS will permit taxpayers to opt out of ID.me's biometric authentication in favor of live, virtual interviews with company representatives.
The agency said it now plans to use Login.gov, which millions of Americans already use to confirm their identities for access to certain federal Websites, for account authentication.

Try putting Northern American band into Google and see what comes up. This was the quandry I was faced with when trying to find out about this latest group of LA twentysomethings, who according to some of the blurb just might be your new favourite band. Following up their 2013 debut EP with their debut album, a ten track collection. Their sound has been described as a cross between Local Natives and the National, although the band themselves have said that while they appreciate the comparisons they don’t see themselves like that and like to think of themselves as much simpler.
I would be inclined to agree with the band. They are more in keeping with Phoenix, The Killers, even The Strokes at times. All great bands for sure. There are even some moments on this album that call to mind U2, particularly in the opening track ‘Feel Like Whatever’, with the breathy vocal delivery and insistent bassline. Second track ‘So Natural’ sounds like some kind of weird hybrid of Phoenix and the Verve but works very well, with the chorus of the song kicking around in your head long after its over. Another word you could use to describe this album is smooth, with no rough edges evident. The title track, with the opening line “give me something it doesn’t need to be extraordinary just real”, is just the right mix of groovy verse and big head-nodding chorus, complete with string section and bells, yes bells. It is quite extraodinary and real. There’s more where that came from, with ‘Days Between’ and ‘Elysian’ particularly deserving of praise. The former is funky, groovy and perfect for our three day summers, the latter closing number notable for its looser more laid back feeling. It’s a suitable end to the album and gives us a glimpse of where this band might go next.
It’s clear that Northern American have a knack for writing tight, melodic radio friendly hits and I wouldn’t be surprised if this time next year more people didn’t know about them. They are they are not re-inventing the wheel or doing anything new, but there is no denying the talent and class on show here. Its a debut album packed with tunes that plenty of bands would be very proud of, so in that sense they can hold their head high. The only downside is that in pursuit of pop perfection they have reined in some of the unexpected twists and turns which made their EP such a good listen and Modern Phenomena maybe suffers a little bit because of it.
This album announces the band, the next one will define them. But for now they have set down a pretty good marker which does nothing to harm their reputation for being the next big thing in waiting.

The 11-time defending AFC East champions are on the verge of missing the postseason for the first time since 2008. That was the last time they played without Tom Brady at quarterback.
“We’ve got to find a way to turn it around,” running back James White said.
“It was a disappointing outcome for us today,” coach Bill Belichick said. “We had some opportunities throughout the course of the game and just couldn’t do enough with them.”
Watson threw for 344 yards and two scores, but the highlight of the game came on a play he made with his feet.
New England led 10-7 after a field goal in the second quarter when Watson scrambled 4 yards for a touchdown, dragging a linebacker and defensive back into the end zone with him to give the Texans a lead they wouldn’t relinquish.
Houston’s beleaguered defense sealed the victory with a stop after that. Watt swatted down Newton’s pass on third down, and heavy pressure from Justin Reid forced him to throw the ball away on fourth down to give the Texans the ball back.
Reid also had his first career sack and finished with three tackles for losses and two quarterback hits.
Early in his career, Watt earned the nickname “J.J. Swatt” for his uncanny ability to knock down passes at the line. Texans fans hadn’t seen much of J.J. Swatt in recent years, but he was back in full force on Sunday when he defended a career-high four passes.
“He’s J.J. Watt. What do you expect? He’s an All-Pro, perennial All-Pro,” Newton said. “He’s a defensive player of the year, one of the best players in this generation.”
Added Houston interim coach Romeo Crennel: “When J.J.’s on, they know he’s coming and he gets the quarterback off the spot and makes it tough for the quarterback to get his feet set and throw the ball down the field.”

On the 18th of April 2023, Tratos hosted a round table on “Using innovation and standardization toward the decarbonisation of the transport sector”. The event was held in the frame of the General Meeting of the Market Strategy Board (MSB) of the International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC).
The International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) is an international standards organisation headquartered in Geneva, Switzerland, that prepares and publishes international standards for all electrical, electronic and related technologies. Prof Maurizio Bragagni Esq OBE, CEO of Tratos Ltd and a longstanding member of MSB, has lobbied for this meeting to take place in London in order to put the United Kingdom and its challenges/opportunities in decarbonising the transport sector at the centre of the future work of this very important international body.
The round table was organised as an interactive session with the participation of representatives from the relevant UK government departments, from BCA, RIA, PEMA, Cavotec and key players in the port/manufacturing/utility sectors.
Mr John Pearce, CEO of Made in Britain, made a presentation on the key metrics in addressing the environmental, social and economic challenges we face. The systemic implications of digitalising the physical reality were elaborated by Prof Gianvito Lanzolla, Professor of Strategy, Bayes Business School, Faculty of Management.
Tratos offered participants a 3D virtual tour of its manufacturing site in the UK and its products and an overview of what the company is doing to achieve sustainable development and net zero emissions targets.
IEC MSB members had the opportunity to hear the views of the UK government, as well as the industry representatives on the important role of standardisation, which has its origin in the UK, and what the UK government is doing in terms of achieving net zero emissions.
Overall, the round table achieved its objectives and contributed to providing an enhanced panorama of future work of the IEC in terms of boosting cooperation among key players in the standardisation process for achieving net zero emissions targets.

High Density Spin Medium (1.1 g/ml)
Preparation of Common DensitiesTo create your own density solution High Density Spin Medium and Deniuent Medium has to be mixed in appropriate quantities. You can use the table below for this calculation.
|Common Density (g/ml)||Volume (ml)||Cell Types||Volume of High Density Spin Medium (ml)||Volume of Density Diluent Medium(ml)|
Ensure that both solutions have the same temperature before mixing them. The High Density Spin Medium is highly viscous and needs to be pipetted very slowly. Alternativly it is possible to weigh out the releveant amounts of the media. The required mass will be calculated with the volume and the wanted density. Stir the mixture gently approximatly five minutes. Try to avoid air bubbles, otherwise you'll have to wait until the media is clear again before starting your experiment.

text: Modulation of environmental pH is critical for the function of several biological systems. Proton secretion is certainly regulated via energetic recycling of V-ATPase. Right here we demonstrate that recycling is controlled by luminal bicarbonate and pH. sAC is certainly highly portrayed in apparent cells and apical membrane deposition of V-ATPase is certainly triggered with a sAC-dependent rise in cAMP in response to alkaline luminal pH. As sAC is certainly expressed in various other acid/base carrying epithelia including kidney and choroid plexus this cAMP-dependent indication transduction pathway could be a popular system which allows cells to feeling and modulate extracellular pH. We lately discovered bicarbonate-activated soluble adenylyl cyclase (sAC)1 being a chemosensor mediating bicarbonate-dependent elevation of cAMP (1) determining a potential transduction pathway for cells to feeling variants in bicarbonate aswell as the carefully related variables pCO2 and pH (1-3). sAC is certainly distinctive from transmembrane adenylyl cyclases. It really is insensitive to legislation by forskolin or heterotrimeric G protein (2) but is certainly directly turned on by bicarbonate ions. It generally does not have forecasted transmembrane domains and exists in both soluble and particulate fractions of mobile ingredients (4-6). Mammalian sAC NVP-ADW742 is comparable to bicarbonate-regulated adenylyl cyclases within cyanobacteria (1 2 recommending there could be a unifying system for the bicarbonate legislation of cAMP signaling in lots of natural systems. sAC is certainly highly portrayed in spermatozoa NVP-ADW742 (7) where it really is suggested to mediate the bicarbonate-dependent cAMP elevation that precedes capacitation hyperactivated motility and acrosome response necessary for fertilization (1). While spermatozoa older and are kept along the epididymal lumen these are kept within a quiescent condition by an acidic pH of 6.5-6.8 and a minimal bicarbonate focus of 2-7 mM (8). We’ve previously proven (9 10 a sub-population of epithelial cells the so-called apparent cells are essential players in the acidification capability from the epididymis. Crystal clear cells exhibit high degrees of the V-ATPase within their apical pole and so are responsible for the majority of proton secretion in the vas deferens. Proton secretion by apparent cells occurs within NVP-ADW742 a chloride-independent but bicarbonate-dependent way (11). Much like kidney intercalated cells epididymal apparent cells regulate their price of proton secretion via TGFB2 V-ATPase recycling between intracellular vesicles as well as the apical plasma membrane (12). In these cells aswell as proton-secreting cells in the turtle bladder a rise in V-ATPase surface area appearance and in apical surface (including microvilli) carefully correlates with an increase in proton secretion (13-15). Proton-secreting epithelial cells actively regulate their rate of proton secretion in response to variations in the pH of NVP-ADW742 their immediate environment (15). However the molecular entities underlying this response still remain unknown. In the present study we tested whether bicarbonate-regulated sAC might play a role in the dynamic V-ATPase recycling that occurs in these cells. EXPERIMENTAL PROCEDURES Laser Capture Microdissection and RT-PCR Epithelial cells from rat cauda epididymidis were harvested by laser capture microdissection and mRNA was extracted and amplified following a T7-based amplification procedure as we recently explained (16). For RT-PCR oligonucleotide primer pairs were designed to amplify a short sequence in the 3′ end of the cDNA. Primers had been synthesized by Sigma-Genosys (The Woodlands TX) and so are listed in Desk I. The identification of PCR items was verified by immediate sequencing (MGH Molecular Biology DNA Sequencing Primary Facility). Desk I Sequence from the primers employed for PCR PPB1 B1 subunit from the V-ATPase; PPE E subunit from the V-ATPase; CAII carbonic anhydrase II. Traditional western Blotting Adult rats had been anesthetized and perfused through the still left ventricle with PBS (10 mM phosphate buffer formulated with 0.9% NaCl) pH 7.4 containing protease inhibitors (Complete Roche). The epididymis was removed as well as the cauda region was homogenized and dissected. Electrophoresis and immunoblotting had been performed as defined previously (16) utilizing a monoclonal antibody (R21) elevated.
