In this documentary short titled Ten Meter Tower, Swedish filmmakers Maximilien Van Aertryck and Axel Danielson paid 67 people $30 to climb to the top of a ten meter (33 foot) high dive for the very first time all while being filmed. Would they decide to jump? Would they be too scared? The resulting footage is surprisingly riveting as people slowly come to terms with their fears and make a decision. It’s one thing to admit defeat in private, but adding the cameras must add a near insurmountable amount of pressure. The filmmakers share with the New York Times: In our films, which we often call studies, we want to portray human behavior, rather than tell our own stories about it. We hope the result is a series of meaningful references, in the form of moving images. “Ten Meter Tower” may tak...

Hide your kids: Nervous parents remove their children after Josh Duggar makes an appearance at a mini-golf course.
Disgraced reality star Josh Duggar made parents angry and nervous last week at Old MacDonald’s Farm mini-golf course in Sevierville, Tenn. According to an exclusive report filed by In Touch Weekly, things turned awkward and uncomfortable after people recognized the sexual predator and his father, Jim Bob, at the mini-golf course.
An eyewitness reports:
Three families with young girls were unhappy Josh was so close to them and left the golf course when they saw him and Jim Bob. The parents were not comfortable. The staff tried to be as polite as possible to the angry parents, but it seemed there was little they could do to stop Josh from being a customer.
The eyewitness added:
I don’t know if Josh and Jim Bob were aware of the problems their presence was causing at the mini-golf course.
It is not surprising that parents would be nervous about having their children close to Duggar. The disgraced family values advocate and former reality star has confessed to molesting his younger sisters and cheating on his wife Anna Duggar by paying for rough sex with a former porn star.
Last March Duggar checked out of a Christian “faith-based” rehabilitation center for “porn addiction.” However, the so-called rehabilitation center is not a medical institution, it is instead a faith-based scam that preys on gullible conservative Christians like the Duggars. Thus, it is doubtful Duggar has changed or even come to terms with his abusive past.
Bottom line: Josh Duggar is a predator, and parents should be nervous when he is around.

Gauahar Khan and Zaid Darbar tied the knot on December 25. Photos from the couple’s pre-wedding and wedding festivities that included the ‘chiksa’, ‘mehendi’ ‘wedding’ and wedding reception’ ceremonies took the Internet by storm.
The wedding festivities that concluded on December 25 after the couple hosted a reception in the evening in Mumbai was attended by their family member and close friends including fashion designer Manish Malhotra and filmmaker Sanjay Leela Bhansali.
Pictures shared on social media from the same left fans of Gauahar and Zaid in awe of how regal the two were looking in their elaborate, custom-made outfits.
While Gauahar Khan was an epitome of beauty in a gold sequin and ruby velvet antique zardosi motif Manish Malhotra lehenga, Zaid looked dapper in a classic black sherwani with antique gold and zari thread work.
And now, a viral video of the bride breaking into an impromptu dance on ‘Jhalla Wallah’ which was picturised on Gauahar and Arjun Kapoor in the film ‘Ishaqzaade’, is doing the rounds on the Internet.
In the video, one can see Gahauhar, who is seated next to Zaid while her friend Preeti Simoes performed in front of the bride and groom, suddenly getting up and walking towards the stage and then gives an impromptu performance, exactly aping the steps that she had danced to in the song.
Despite donning a heavy lehenga, Gauahar gave a fabulous performance which certainly is worth watching. Take a look.
Meanwhile, Gauahar and Zaid chose to twin with their wedding outfit colour. While Gauahar wore a heavily embroidered ivory-hued Sharara along with traditional bridal jewellery, Zaid chose a sherwani and churidar in the same colour.
On Thursday, a day before the wedding, Gauahar shared photos of her mehndi ceremony for fans and followers.
Noted music composer Ismail Darbar’s son Zaid also shared photographs clicked after the mehndi ceremony and wrote, “Writing our love story on each other’s hearts forever with the blessings of our family and friends and above all Allah.”

AP, Jan. 15, 2003
PORTLAND – A theologically diverse group of faith leaders is taking the lead in an anti-war movement that has spawned a peace march scheduled for downtown Portland on Saturday.
The group goes beyond Buddhists and Quakers to include Roman Catholic parishes and religious orders, Scientologists, Muslims and broad-based coalitions such as Ecumenical Ministries of Oregon.
Absent are some evangelical and Jewish leaders who say they can justify an American war against Iraq.
Faith groups make up many of the 100-plus sponsors for the march.
In Oregon, the alliance among faith groups and secular peace activists helps both groups. Fewer than one in three Oregonians regularly attends a place of worship, surveys show, so religious leaders often can’t get attention without joining broader coalitions.
Involvement by religious leaders “inoculates the peace movement against being so easily besmirched and dismissed,” said Tom Hastings, who teaches peace studies at Portland State University.
While Jews are among the organizers, no mainstream Jewish organizations or rabbis publicly back the march. Nor have significant players in Oregon’s evangelical Christian community joined the anti-war chorus.
“The feeling, broadly speaking, among Christians who take the Bible seriously is that we are sacrificing our own men and women for the sake of the oppressed and for greater peace around the world,” said the Rev. Luis Palau, an international evangelist based in Beaverton. “This is a just war.”
Among things the marches will demand is “a just resolution” to the Israeli-Palestinian conflict, which bothers the Jewish Federation of Portland and the American Jewish Committee’s Oregon chapter.
“Whoever is going to decide what ‘a just resolution’ is? . . . You know when you see something like that that it’s just not going to be an open forum,” said Emily Gottfried, executive director of the Oregon chapter.
Several Portland rabbis known for speaking out on political issues don’t necessarily oppose war with Iraq. Rabbi Emanuel Rose of Congregation Beth Israel said the Bush administration has yet to prove that Iraq presents a direct threat to the United States, “but I am not in the camp of those who are just plain anti-war.”
Rabbi Joey Wolf of Havurah Shalom said he supports Bush’s plans.
“I don’t normally line up with Republicans at all, but on this particular piece, this is a critical hour,” he said. “Where Iraq is headed is bad news, and I think we need to show some clarity and some strength.”

Although it sounds depressing, Rada says, its actually darkly funny; it has a lot of sharp and dark humor to it. Working off of that, the collaborative Lida ensemble takes a more stylized, abstracted, tech-heavy approach (Rada calls it subterranean punk), playing off the works Foucaultian undercurrents to show how people choose their own paths. Viewed in a pole-obstructed setting, this version of Mouse is anything but literal.

text: A solid, hefty collection of articles, mostly new, about festivals the world over, including the continents of Europe, the Americas, Africa, and Asia. The equally hefty cover price assures that this book will appeal chiefly to an academic audience, although there are some more popular articles here by the likes of Goethe, Aldous Huxley, and Ernest Hemingway, on bullfighting. Sadly, few of the newly commissioned articles are as readable as those by the three older masters. The promising title of ""Notes on the Doo-Dah Parade in Pasadena"" turns out to be the name of a densely academic exercise, labelling the Doe-Dab as ""a liminoid experience; liminal-like but clearly belonging to the partial realm of play. . ."" Yet, despite the unabashedly academic tone in many of the pieces, there is much valuable material and the experts were evidently chosen with care and intelligence. Their prose styles may be appallingly dense, but they manage to state the important facts with an admirable sense of brevity, for the most part. And buried in these essays are some charming characteristic details, such as a portrait of an Eskimo festival where the participants gorge on the ""enormous hearts, tongues, intestines, kidneys"" of whales. While such imagery may not make the reader want to join in the fun, still it evokes a mood and scene in an entertaining way. In sum, a specialized sourcebook that manages, on occasion, to entertain and enlighten.

In what turned out to be his swan song, he recorded Concerto For Group and Orchestra. Lord assembled guest musicians such as Iron Maiden's Bruce Dickinson, Joe Bonamassa and Steve Morse in the Abbey Road Studios, to work with his trusted partner, director Paul Mann, on the 2012 version of the legendary concert.
On July 16, 2012, Jon Lord passed away in London at 71 years old. This album is a joyful testament of a great musician and fantastic man.

US Senate Set to Consider NASA and NSF Appropriations
The appropriations process is lurching forward — with the World’s Greatest Deliberative Body set to consider its bill funding NASA, the National Science Foundation (NSF), and the Commerce and Justice Departments next week. The House of Representatives passed its version on 30 May 2014, with strong increases for research at both NASA and NSF (see recent post for details).
The Senate Appropriations Committee approved its FY 2015 CJS appropriations last Thursday, 5 June 2014, with similar increases to NASA's top line and that of its Science Mission Directorate (SMD) but not for NSF's Research & Related Activities account. The Senate bill funds NASA at $17.9 billion, with SMD at $5.2 billion, and NSF at the President's requested level of $7.26 billion, with its Research & Related Activities account slightly above the request at $5.84 billion. The full Senate is planning to take up the bill next week, alongside two other spending bills covering the Departments of Agriculture, Transportation, and Housing and Urban Development.
The specific procedures for floor consideration differ between the chambers, but in both, the process provides the first substantive opportunity for members not on the Appropriations Committees to amend the funding levels and policy provisions in the bills. The number and content of amendments may be subject to procedural rules, but in theory any member may offer an amendment for consideration by the full chamber.
Both the House and Senate require each spending bill to fit within its “302(b)” allocation — the total allowed discretionary spending for all agencies and programs the bill covers. In practice, this means amendments that propose spending increases in one category require an equal offset within the same jurisdiction. Some amendments do this by reallocating funds within an agency, as was the case for a House amendment that shifted money between NASA’s Space Operations and Space Technology accounts. The tradeoffs need not be so tightly coupled, though, as demonstrated by the many House amendments that targeted the Census Bureau and the Department of Justice's General Fund to pay for increases in weather research and Violence Against Women Prevention and Prosecution Programs, to name just two.
In the run-up to the House floor debate on the CJS bill, there was well-founded concern that members might introduce amendments targeting the social, behavioral, and geophysical sciences. There is both historical precedent and ongoing legislative work targeting these particular areas of science as not in the "national interest" or otherwise worthy of taxpayer investment — a notion the science community is nearly unanimous in opposing. Several of these cropped up, and one amendment that passed aimed to negate a proposed $15.9 million increase for the Foundation's Social, Behavioral, and Economic Sciences Directorate (without changing the research account top line).1
As the Senate bill moves to the floor next week, science advocates are expecting more of the same. In particular, the recent past has seen amendments in the form of policy riders that forbid the NSF from funding political-science research unless the Foundation's director certifies such research "as promoting national security or the economic interests of the United States." We'll be watching closely for any such amendments, or any that would target NASA funding to offset other increases.
Once the bill passes the Senate (which may take a while given the body's "deliberative" reputation), it will need to be reconciled with the House version before heading down Pennsylvania Avenue for the President's signature. Some have been predicting that this reconciliation won't happen until after the midterm elections this November, as Senate Republicans eye a potential majority moving into the next Congress. With the fiscal year turning over 1 October, this would mean at least a couple months on a continuing resolution (autopilot spending) and continuing uncertainty about the future.
1For procedural reasons, the text of the amendment could not target that directorate outright, but speeches on the House floor made the intent plain.

The popularity of eating a vegan or vegetarian diet has continued to grow slowly over the last decade. Worldwide, the number of vegetarians is estimated to be 375 million. In the US, the overall percentage of adults that choose a vegetarian diet is lower, with about 7 million people eating vegetarian.
People choose a vegetarian diet for a variety of reasons, for many it is cultural and the rate of vegetarianism in countries such as India or Japan is much higher. In the US, the main reasons for choosing that lifestyle are concern for animals or the environment, taste, health and even cost.
But few of us think about feeding a vegetarian diet to our dogs or cats. Both are carnivores and require the proteins found in meat, poultry and fish. So is it smart to consider a vegetarian diet for your pet?
The answer for cats is easy, for dogs, not so much.
Let’s start with cats. Yes, cats are carnivores; they are “obligate” carnivores which means they cannot properly digest plant-based foods and plant-based foods do not provide all of the nutrients cats need. Plants do not contain the amino acids essential for their health, specifically an amino acid called Taurine. A taurine deficiency can create serious health issues in your cat including heart disease and blindness. A daily supplement in the form of a multivitamin containing taurine is NOT sufficient, they need animal muscle meat. So cats, CANNOT be vegetarians.
Dogs on the other hand can survive on a vegetarian diet. Their digestive tract is able to break down plant-based foods to create all of the essential nutrients that they require. Having said that, there are some other factors to consider before switching Fido to veggies only.
A dog’s digestive tract is much shorter than a humans, so there is less time for their bodies to extract the proper nutrients from the things they eat. If you’ve ever given your dog a carrot, you know what I mean. It comes out almost whole on the other end. They don’t absorb much nutrients from foods that pass through their body so quickly.
Furthermore, dogs use fat as the primary source of energy (unlike humans who use carbohydrates). Plant based diets which are generally low in fat, may not provide the energy sources that are readily usable when Fido needs them.
Dogs may also flat out reject a plant-based diet. They are carnivores and can’t really make the moral choice to forego meat like humans can. They prefer meat. If you don’t believe me offer your pup a piece of steak and a brussel sprout and see which one they take.
In addition, dog nutritionists are divided on whether a dog can thrive on a plant-based diet. In theory they can survive (unlike cats), but there’s not a lot of science to support the long term benefits or studies that examine the possible repercussions of a plant-based diet. Signs of malnutrition or nutrient deficiency might take years to develop, and by then the dog may be suffering from other illnesses that mask these conditions.
If you do switch to a plant-based food, be sure and check that it meets American Feed Control Officials (AAFCO) guidelines and nutritional levels. And be sure to discuss it with your vet to ensure that your dog is free of any conditions that may be exacerbated by a new meat-free diet.
Obviously, if your dog won’t eat the food without meat, then he’s making the choice himself and you need to put meat back in their diet. Also, watch for any signs of malnutrition or nutrient deficiency – weight loss, poor coat quality, diarrhea, excessive itching or lethargy and as always get regular check-ups with your vet.

China builds new military facilities on South China Sea islands China has built new military facilities on islands in the South China Sea, a U.S. think tank reported on Thursday, a move that could raise tensions with Washington, which has accused Beijing of militarizing the vital waterway.
U.S. Navy ships are stepping up patrols in the South China Sea. So what's our interest in a place more than 8000 miles away? It's one of the busiest and most important trade routes in the world.

China Is All Set To Pay A Heavy Price For Its Doklam Blunder. China has begun to believe that like America, it too has become an “indispensable nation,” at least for the global economy, and that its position as virtually the biggest trade partner of most major economies limits international options in dealing with its imperious foreign policy based on a unilateral definition of its “core interests” and disregard of international law. This explains its willingness to challenge Japan, pursue egregious historical claims in the South China Sea and confront the US in the western Pacific. This hubris born of such self-evaluation of China’s economic and financial muscle, coupled with its growing military capabilities, lies behind its condescending policies towards India. The Doklam affair is a...
The South China Sea is one of the most hotly contested and lucrative regions in the world. In July, an international tribunal in The Hague ruled in a landmark case in favour of the Philippines, which rejected the Chinese claim to almost the entire South China Sea. China called the ruling ill-founded and non-binding. As the row in the maritime area continues to heat up, will this lead to war? Or are claims of a possible conflagration exaggerated? In this week's Arena, we debate the issue with Charles Liu, a senior fellow at the Peking University Centre on China and Global Affairs and the founder of Hao Capital, and Bonnie Glaser, a senior adviser for Asia and director of the China Power Project, at the Centre for Strategic and International Studies.

In Beijing’s view, India is a critical ‘swing State’ that increasingly is moving to the US camp, undercutting Xi’s ambition to establish a Sino-centric Asia through an expanded tianxia system of the 15th century. Given India’s vantage geographical location, China needs its participation to plug key gaps in Xi’s One Belt, One Road (OBOR) project. But India not only boycotted Xi’s OBOR summit but has also portrayed OBOR as an opaque, neo-colonial enterprise seeking to ensnare smaller, cash-strapped states in a debt trap. China may have orchestrated the Sikkim standoff not so much to cast a shadow over the Modi-Trump discussions as to warn Modi that his increasing tilt toward the US will carry long-term costs. China is already stepping up its direct and surrogate threats against India. One e...

Vietnam India Together To Spoil China’s South China Sea Ambitions. Vietnam and India are teaming up to tame China’s ambitions to control the South China Sea and the riches that are hidden beneath. Early this week, Vietnam granted Indian oil firm ONGC Videsh a two-year extension to explore oil block 128, according to a Reuters report. China considers the South China Sea its own sea, and is building artificial islands, defying international tribunal rulings – including one favoring the Philippines. While Philippines President Rodrigo Duterte isn’t prepared to stop Beijing, Vietnam – which also claims parts of the waterway – seems to be. Vietnam’s and India’s challenge to China comes at a time when tensions between New Delhi and Beijing have flared on several fronts. Like the Dokalam area...

According to new data on international arms transfers published today by the Stockholm International Peace Research Institute (SIPRI), China was the third largest supplier of arms between 2010 to 2014. During that period, Chinese exports of major arms increased by 143 percent, however overall volume was still significantly behind the United States of America and Russia. “China’s share of global arms exports increased from 3 to 5 per cent. China became the third largest supplier in 2010–14, slightly ahead of Germany and France. China supplied major arms to 35 states in 2010–14,” according to the fact sheet of the Stockholm-based think tank.

-Thursday 15 September, 2016- It is the tiger in the room no-one can afford to ignore. Under the leadership of Xi Jinping, China has engaged in an increasingly muscular foreign policy while clamping down on critics both at home and abroad. Even amid a slowdown the world's second largest economy has huge regional clout. From the South China Sea to recent elections in Taiwan and Hong Kong that returned politicians deeply suspicious of Beijing, little of China's future -- or its neighbours' -- is set in stone. As Xi's tenure progresses, how will China evolve, both for its own people, its neighbours and fellow regional superpower the United States? On September 15 the FCCT will hold a panel discussion on China and its relationship with the region featuring speakers with intimate knowled...
China's ruling Communist Party has unveiled an incredibly ambitious plan that it says will serve as a blueprint for the country's economic and social development for the next five years. Unveiled this week, Premier Li Keqiang set targets for economic growth at above 6.5 percent between 2016 and 2020 despite the country facing sluggish demand at home and abroad, industrial overcapacity, and faltering investment. Seeking to reassure jittery global markets about the health of the world's second largest economy, Li pledged greater reform saying he would reduce the government's role in business and make the financial system more market-oriented. The premier also said that China would create 10 million new jobs and vowed there would be no mass layoffs. But as China tries to shift from an exp...

Tue Jan 10, 2012 The US has recently announced its new defense strategy to expand the country's military presence in the Asia-Pacific in a bid to switch the Pentagon's focus to the Far East. China says the accusations leveled against the country in the new United States defense strategy are "groundless" and "untrustworthy" and aim to counter the Asian country's growing power. Tensions have escalated since the US said it would strengthen its military presence in the Asia-Pacific as China is concerned that Washington's new defense stance is aimed at encircling Beijing. There are rising concerns in the United States about the growing size and capabilities of the Chinese military. The US demands that China clarify its strategic intent as its military power grows.

Biological processes in gastric cancer cells inhibited by miR-146a. Left panel, miR-146a directly targets IRAK1, CARD10 and COPS8 in SNU638 cells. This leads to inhibition of NF-κB activation and consequently to repressed expression of NF-κB-regulated cytokines and growth factors. Expression of miR-146a is also regulated by NF-κB. Right panel, miR-146a decreases expression of CCL5, CSF-1, IL-8, PDGF and IL-23A, which are involved in monocyte migration and differentiation, proliferation, angiogenesis, lymphangiogenesis and fibroblast and macrophage growth factor release. Thus, miR-146a might act as a tumor suppressor by reducing cancer-promoting effects of NF-κB activity.


Minister calls for water harnessing
RAJKOT: Minister for small and medium irrigation Nitin Patel has said that irrigation would continue to suffer even after the completion of the Narmada dam as the waters would cater only to the drinking water problem.
Talking to reporters here on Saturday, Patel said 50 per cent of the land would be left unirrigated even after the Narmada waters reach Saurashtra. The state government could not leave irrigation at the mercy of nature, he said.
Patel said that 15 districts in the state had been declared scarcity-hit and there were problems relating to drinking water, fodder, relief work and employment. Seventy per cent of the rain water flowed to the sea unchecked and it was time now to harness such water resources for irrigation. He said 2,000 check dams would be constructed in Saurashtra before the onset of monsoon and for this a Rs 100 crore scheme would be chalked out. Of this Rs 60 crore would be spent by the state government and the remaining Rs 40 crore would be given to people to have their own schemes.
Patel said 15 non-governmental organisation were working in Saurashtra to harness water but he wanted more of people's participation in building the check dams.

The Strikeforce: Barnett vs. Cormier fight card is filling up fast. Strikeforce CEO Scott Coker announced the line-up’s latest addition on Wednesday via Twitter: a lightweight bout pitting Gesias “JZ” Cavalcante against Isaac Vallie-Flagg.
Cavalcante (16-4-1) has gone 1-1 with one no contest in his three starts for Strikeforce. He’s hoping to build some momentum coming off of a win over Bobby Green at last summer’s Fedor vs. Hendo event.
Vallie-Flagg (12-3-1) has had just one start for Strikeforce, winning a split decision over Brian Melancon in his promotional debut. Vallie-Flagg, however, has won his last three fights, and surely hopes to keep that streak alive against Cavalcante, likely the toughest fight of his career.
The bout is part of the card that features Josh Barnett vs. Daniel Cormier in the Strikeforce Heavyweight Grand Prix final in the main event, with a co-main event pitting Strikeforce lightweight champion Gilbert Melendez in a rubber match against Josh Thomson, on May 19 in San Jose, Calif.

||Great Magazine - 9/14/2012|
|I bought two of these sometime back, and have put about 100 rounds through each one. They are just as reliable as the ten rounder that comes with the P11.
I knocked off one "bullet" for just one reason. They aren't really 12 round magazines. You can, with effort, get that 12th round in there, but if you carry 12+1 in the chamber, it almost always jams trying to chamber that 1st round out of the magazine.
But, they handle 11+1 in the chamber quite well.|


As 2022 closed, insurers around the world faced a foreboding outlook for 2023. Big catastrophe losses, a war in Europe, and stubborn inflation spurred insurers to take key actions to ensure profitability, including increasing premiums and cutting expenses. In the midst of these pressures came a blockbuster technology innovation, ChatGPT, that promises to revolutionize business — and create formidable risks. And now, insurers will be awaiting the impacts on risk and rates from a surprise war in the Middle East.
So what’s ahead for 2024? Insurers will return to greater profitability, even if their hoped-for stability is slower in returning, as they continue to pass on higher costs to customers and benefit from rising interest rates. This will lead to moderate tech budget increases as well as more appetite for tech and product innovation. And even though carriers will explore embedded insurance and generative AI, insurers won’t see much impact on their top or bottom lines from either. Climate adaptation, on the other hand, will become very real, as more insurers scale back activities in even more regions affected by climate change and explore new types of heat-linked policies.
Here’s a closer look at a few of Forrester’s 2024 prediction topics for insurers:
- Half of the embedded distributors will struggle to convert consumer interest to sales. Embedded insurance — where insurers embed their products and services into third-party experiences such as vehicle purchases or mortgages — is hot. When we asked online adults how likely they are to consider an embedded auto insurance product, 41% of those in the US and 38% in France — and 59% of US Gen Zers — indicated they would do so when buying or leasing a personal vehicle. But, factors such as keeping policies with a single insurer, the role of the agent, and lack of trust in both the brand and the ability of the embedded seller to answer customer questions, are hindering sales.
- Tech spending will see modest 5% growth to tackle CX and foundational capabilities. Insurers are torn between seemingly competing initiatives: improving CX, growing revenue, and reducing costs. In 2024, tech teams will invest in areas that deliver on all three priorities. Meanwhile, projects with uncertain ROI, such as moving toward in-house development and emphasizing open-source technologies (at the bottom of insurers’ priority lists) will see cuts.
- Insurers will drop ambitious climate collaborations, and vote instead with their feet. Launched with much fanfare in 2021, the Net-Zero Insurance Alliance is dead and unlikely to be revived, given the electoral and legal uncertainty and the backlash against ESG in the US. But insurers won’t be able to ignore climate change (and sustainability more broadly) because of the massive sustainability-related financial risks they’re exposed to. In the US, expect another dozen insurers to follow the likes AIG, Allstate, and others and scale back their business in California, Florida, Louisiana, and now North Carolina, pushing those exposures into the laps of state regulators.

1939 Ford DeLuxe Convertible Coupe
Sold For $36,000Inclusive of applicable buyer's fee.
- Attractive older restoration
- Elegant Folkstone Gray finish
- The most desirable style from an iconic model year
The 1939 Fords boasted 24-stud cylinder heads and long-awaited hydraulic brakes, as well as several important design evolutions. The headlights migrated to the peaks of the front fenders, still under Ford’s handsome teardrop aerodynamic glass covers, inspired by the upmarket stablemate Lincoln-Zephyr. Further, the hood thrust forward with a low vee-shaped grille with vertical bars that suggested the bow of a fast boat cutting through waves. The wider and lower grille aided engine cooling and gave the designers the latitude to eliminate the hood side vents. All this resulted in a more aerodynamic- and dramatic-looking automobile, which truly looked more expensive than it was – making it quite a sales success.
The DeLuxe convertible coupe offered here is an ideal example of this classic design in its most desirable body style. It is finished in the year-correct color of Folkstone Gray, a wonderful understated choice, with a complementary rich brown leather interior and black cloth top. Additional features include chromed wheel covers and rear fender skirts, providing a truly sporty appearance, while a full-size spare is tucked behind the seats. Overall the restoration shows some patina throughout, including minor staining to the convertible top and stretching of the seats, but it is nicely mellowed and ideal for summer time cruising.
In sum, the 1939 Ford is an American classic, and this example is exactly the ’39 Ford one envisions – a convertible coupe, in iconic colors, ready for driving enjoyment through the last months of summer and into the fall ahead.

The luminal surface of mammalian urothelium is covered with numerous plaques (also known as the asymmetric unit membrane or AUM) composed of semi-crystalline, hexagonal arrays of 12-nm protein particles. Despite the presumed importance of these plaques in stabilizing the urothelial surface during bladder distention, relatively little is known about their protein composition. Using a mouse mAb, AE31, we have identified a 27-kD protein that is urothelium-specific and is differentially expressed in superficial umbrella cells. This protein (pI approximately 5.8) partitions into the detergent phase during Triton X-114 phase separation. Pulse-chase experiments using cultured bovine urothelial cells showed that this protein is synthesized as a 32-kD precursor that is processed through a 30-kD intermediate, to the mature 27-kD form. In cytoplasmic vesicles containing immature AUM, the AE31 epitope is detected in patches on the cytoplasmic side, but in mature, apical AUM it is detected exclusively on the luminal side. This suggests an unusual translocation of the AE31 epitope during AUM maturation; more data are required, however, to substantiate this interpretation. Immunoaffinity purification of the 27-kD protein results in the copurification in approximately molar ratio of a 15-kD protein, as well as a small and variable amount of a 47-kD protein. Immunoblotting data indicate that these three proteins are immunologically distinguishable. This copurified 15-kD protein is relative basic (pI approximately 8.0). Like the 27-kD protein, it is urothelium-specific and is present mainly in the umbrella cells. Together, our data indicate that a 27-kD protein is urothelial plaque-associated (uroplakin I). Based on complex formation data, we provisionally name the 15-kD protein uroplakin II; additional data will be required to determine whether this and the 47-kD protein are integral parts of AUM. The identification of these AUM-associated and -related proteins, plus the availability of a culture system capable of synthesizing and processing some of these molecules, offer new opportunities for studying the detailed structure, assembly, and function of asymmetrical unit membrane.
