Information processing in the nervous system depends upon the electrical signal propagation along the neuron, and chemical and electrical signal propagation across neurons, referred to as synaptic transmission. Neurons constantly modify their molecular content to change their excitability and synaptic efficacy in order to process and store information in the network. Dysregulation of neuron excitability and synaptic efficacy is often manifested in neurological and psychiatric disorders, and thought to underlie some of the cognitive impairments and dysfunctions often seen in these diseases. Proteins are the key mediators of these processes and the prime targets for pharmacological interventions. Although the molecular components of these physiological phenomena were worked out in pioneering work, the precise function and molecular interplay is in most cases still elusive. With the combination of molecular manipulations in single neurons and a profound analysis of the electrophysiological properties, we want to dissect the molecular machinery in unprecedented precision.
Molecular mechanisms of NMDA receptor dependent synaptic plasticity
Activity-dependent changes in synaptic strength at glutamatergic synapses are considered to be the fundamental process in information processing and storage in the brain. This contributes directly to the development of neural circuit and experience-dependent behavioral plasticity including learning and memory. Many forms of plasticity existing in the brain can modify synaptic efficacy. One prominent model for activity-dependent synaptic plasticity is the NMDA receptor (NMDAR) dependent LTP and LTD (referred as LTP an LTD thereafter), which is mainly studied at hippocampal Schaffer collateral CA3-CA1 synapses. The hippocampus also plays a fundamental role in some forms of learning and memory, and has been implicated in a number of neurological and psychiatric disorders, including epilepsy, Alzheimer's disease, and schizophrenia. Thus, understanding the mechanism underlying LTP and LTD may afford great insight in how synapses can be modified by experience. We will use lentivirus-mediated gene silencing and molecular replacement approaches to test how postsynaptic proteins regulate synaptic AMPAR function and how signaling specificity is achieved during the process of LTP and LTD.
Role of Calcium homeostasis in synaptic plasticity and learning
Calcium (Ca2+) influx via membrane receptors and ion channels is essential in these processes, translating extracellular events into intracellular signaling cascades, through Ca2+-calmodulin sensitive processes. Calmodulin binds to Ca2+ and is ubiquitously expressed in neurons. There are small neuronal proteins known to interact with calmodulin, and regulate the affinity of calmodulin for Ca2+ binding. Changes in these calmodulin binding proteins will presumably influence the downstream signaling pathways that are important for synaptic plasticity and learning and memory. One example is neurogranin whose levels change in response to behavioral, environmental, and hormonal stimulation in rodent models and under pathological conditions in humans. The neurogranin gene has been associated with neurological and neuropsychiatric disorders including schizophrenia and mental retardation. We have evidence suggesting that the activity-dependent translation of neurogranin serves as a key positive modulator of neural plasticity and learning via shifting the threshold of neural plasticity. We are currently using virus-mediated gene transfer to manipulate the levels and the activity-dependent translation of neurogranin and test the functional impact on synaptic plasticity and learning. Our study will help understand the function and regulation of neurogranin important for calcium homeostasis in health and diseases, and may provide therapeutic substrate for pharmacological interventions for schizophrenia patients.

Lent 5

Passage: Ezekiel 37:1–37:14

†††In the Name of Jesus†††
Pastor Murray Keith
Text: Ezekiel 37:1-14
Date: April 2nd, 2017; Lent 5; Series A
Grace and peace to you from God our Father and our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ.
The prophet Ezekiel was taken away in the Spirit of the Lord and was given a troubling vision.
He describes seeing a bunch of sun bleached, weather beaten, lifeless, dry and dead bones scattered throughout a valley.
Just imagine this scene! What utter hopelessness.
Dry bones are the symbol of death and destruction.
This vision was to illustrate the hopelessness of God's people during this time.
They had turned their backs on God, they had gone their own way, and as a result they found themselves being punished through the Babylonian captivity.
This vision makes it clear, that apart from God, we are dead. We are dried up dead bones scattered in the valley of death without God.
But, Ezekiel is shown that despite the appearance of utter despair - there is hope!
God will save his people! He will make them alive again!
And this promise is also for us!
We too can find ourselves in a deep valley feeling as though there is no hope.
There are many difficulties that arise in our lives that can leave us feeling this way.
These can be troubles in our own lives or in the lives of those we love.
Illness, depression, financial problems, addiction, broken relationships, guilt, the death of someone we love dearly - all of these things can cause us to feel hopeless.
They can leave us in a state of utter despair.
With the people of Israel, we can find ourselves crying out, "Our bones are dried up, and our hope is lost; we are clean cut off" (Ezekiel 37:11).
But, God's message to the people of Israel (and to each and every one of us today!) is that we are not cut off from him.
The Good News is that, despite all appearances, there is hope.
It's interesting to note what God ordered Ezekiel to do in this vision.
God commanded Ezekiel to preach to them – to prophecy, to proclaim, the Good News that they will be restored and be brought back to life, "Prophesy over these bones, and say to them…Behold, I will cause breath to enter you and you shall live" (Ezekiel 37:4-5)
And Ezekiel reports that preaching God's Word worked! "So I prophesied as he commanded me, and the breath came into them, and they lived" (Ezekiel 37:10).
And nothing has changed! God's Word of promise continues to work in our lives today!
We have life breathed into us when we hear the Word of God.
As St. Paul tells us in his letter to the Ephesians, "And you also were included in Christ when you heard the word of truth, the gospel of your salvation. Having believed, you were marked in him with a seal, the promised Holy Spirit, who is a deposit guaranteeing our inheritance until the redemption of those who are God's possession - to the praise of his glory" (Ephesians 1:13-14).
In this life we find ourselves in situations where things appear to be nothing but hopeless. We find ourselves lost and turned upside down.
But God promises, that despite all appearances, he will see us through and our future with him is secure.
The Holy Spirit dwells in us creating and sustaining our faith in the victory over sin and death that Jesus Christ has won for the world – that he has won for you!
Sin is the problem. Sin is the cause of all of our trouble, of all of our guilt and misery, of all of our sickness and pain, of all of our despair. Our sin condemns us to death.
But as we heard in our reading from St. Paul's letter to the Romans, "There is therefore now no condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus. For the law of the Spirit of life has set you free in Christ Jesus from the law of sin and death" (Romans 8:1-2).
Just as God freed his people from the Babylonian captivity, so he frees us from the captivity to sin and death.
St. Paul says that this is true for all those who are in Christ Jesus.
So I suppose an important question to ask, then, is what does it mean to be "in" Christ Jesus?
Well, to be in Christ means that you have been given the gift of the Holy Spirit who dwells in you and has brought you to have faith in God's gift of salvation.
Again, from St. Paul's letter to the Romans, "If the Spirit of him who raised Jesus from the dead dwells in you, he who raised Christ Jesus from the dead will also give life to your mortal bodies through his Spirit who dwells in you" (Romans 8:11).
Just as the breath gave life back to the dry dead bones in Ezekiel's vision, so the Holy Spirit gives life back to us - we who were dead in our trespasses.
It's interesting to note that the same Hebrew word, ruach, that is used in Genesis for the breath of life breathed into Adam is the same word that is used here in Ezekiel.
It is the gift of life, new life, given freely to us for the sake of Jesus.
The gift of life that we receive through our baptism.
The gift of life that we receive as we hear, read and meditate upon God's Word.
The gift of life we receive through Christ's true body and true blood.
Through these means of grace we receive the gift of faith and we are in Christ.
We have ligaments, tendon, muscle, and skin put back on us. We receive the breath of eternal life!
It is true that there are times in our lives when it feels like we are dry dead bones lying in the middle of a valley. It can feel like everything is lost and there is no hope.
Being a Christian does not remove us from the effects of living in a fallen and sinful world.
As Christians we will get sick and we will experience turmoil and so will our loved ones.
As Christians we will die.
But in the midst of suffering and death, in the midst of all appearing lost, we have peace, comfort, and certain hope.
As God's people, we see the light at the end of the tunnel.
God has promised us a heavenly future – a future that includes a glorious reunion with all of our loved family and friends who have departed in the faith.
Jesus boldly declared in our Gospel reading, "I am the resurrection and the life. Whoever believes in me, though he die, yet shall he live, and everyone who lives and believes in me shall never die" (John 11:25).
We are assured that all of the sufferings and difficulties that we endure in this life will pass and we will be restored to eternal life and joy.
My brothers and sisters in Christ, you have been taken from being a bunch of dry, sun-bleached lifeless bones, and you have been made into a living person with a living faith with the gift of eternal life.
"Thus says the Lord God: Behold, I will open your graves and raise you from your graves, O my people…I have spoken, and I will do it, declares the Lord" (Ezekiel 37:12). Amen.
The peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus unto life everlasting. Amen.

Those in New England may be reminded of the Blizzard of 2015 early this weekend as a strengthening storm system impacts the region.
Eastern Maine will take the brunt of the storm Friday night into Saturday, but that does not mean that the rest of the Northeast will escape the snow.
Before rapidly strengthening off the coast of New England, the system will continue to bring light snow over southern New England with snow showers from New York City to Washington, D.C. and Pittsburgh on Friday.
This should not cause much in terms of travels disruptions, but people taking to the roads may want to allow for a few extra minutes before heading out in order to brush the fresh coating of snow off their vehicles.
Conditions will deteriorate quickly across eastern New England Friday night and carry into Saturday as winds pick up and snow intensifies.
While this is not expected to evolve into a blizzard, it will still cause major disruptions to travel.
With snow rates up to 2 inches an hour possible, roads can quickly become snow-covered and remain covered until after the storm has passed.
If you must drive during the storm, you should take supplies with you, such as food, water and blankets, in the event that you become stuck on the road.
With upwards of a foot of snow expected in some areas, this could turn into a dangerous situation for some, particularly across eastern Maine.
Snow through this weekend that piles up on top of the snow that fell from the Blizzard of 2015 can put a significant amount of stress on building structures.
If enough snow accumulates on the roof of a weak building, it can lead to the collapse of that roof.
To avoid this, people across the area who still have feet of snow on their roofs should consider removing some of the snow to relieve the building of the immense weight.
Fortunately for those in the Boston area, the worst of the storm should stay to the north of the city.
Strong winds from the storm can still cause snow to blow around, adding to the drifts created by this past week's blizzard.
These winds can also lead to localized power outages from Connecticut to Maine and even into portions of New Brunswick and Nova Scotia.
Conditions will gradually improve throughout Saturday afternoon as the system departs, leading to a dry but frigid day across New England on Sunday.
This dry weather will not last for long as another storm system is set to move into the region by the start of the upcoming week.
Accuweather.com Senior Meteorologist Alex Sosnowski warns that "all or mostly snow is favored at this time just north of the storm track from moving eastward from Columbus, Ohio to Pittsburgh; Washington, D.C.; Philadelphia and New York City."
"In at least part of this swath, enough snow to shovel and plow is likely," he said.
This snow could reach into New England on Monday, depending on the exact path that the storm takes.
Continue to check back with AccuWeather.com as more information about this storm becomes known and a more precise storm track can be determined.

This section covers things that anyone can do now.
Become informed
This website seeks to inform you, and there is much more that you can do to inform yourself. Look at the section 'Reading', for books, articles and videos.
This is an offsetting scheme run by Population Matters. It gives grants for projects providing family planning services, and as such is as effective as any offsetting scheme, and more so than most.
They share funds between developed and developing countries: industrialised countries have high emissions per capita, while developing countries have high birthrates and rising standards of living – and emissions.
The evidence is clear that the more slowly a country's population grows, the more able it is to develop economically. All development will ultimately fail if human numbers keep rising indefinitely.
One of the earliest projects supported by PopOffsets was Blue Ventures, which is a science-led social enterprise that develops transformative approaches for nurturing and sustaining locally led marine conservation. The organisation works in partnership with coastal communities in places where the ocean is vital to the culture and economy. A significant part of this is the introduction of family planning, a development that was requested by the community in which Blue Ventures was operating at the time
Links: www.popoffsets.org
Your family
In considering the intended size of your family, bear in mind the consequences of a number of children above that necessary for replacement. Note that the additional burden on the planet of one extra child must substantially exceed the savings that one can make in one's life by the most rigorous measures to be green.
Two academics have carried out research that makes this point very clearly. They are Paul Murtaugh, a professor of statistics, and Michael Schlax, an oceanic and atmospheric science professor, of Oregon State University.
As reported in the New York Times, "Take, for example, a hypothetical American woman who switches to a more fuel-efficient car, drives less, recycles, installs more efficient light bulbs, and replaces her refrigerator and windows with energy saving models. If she has two children, the researchers found, her carbon legacy would eventually rise to nearly forty times what she had saved by these actions"
"A parent is responsible for one half of the emissions of their children, one quarter of the emissions of their grandchildren and so on". They also calculated that the hypothetical woman could cut about 486 tones of CO2 in her own life, but that savings for each birth forgone would be between 9441 ton and 12730 tons: so each birth forgone saves 20 times more than the efforts she made in her own life."
There is a rather technical paper on http://tinyurl.com/lfuaqsq
If your family is already established, discuss the issue of population often enough that your views are known (without lecturing, of course). You need to do this, because you can scarcely lecture your adult children who are about to get married not to have too many kids. They would probably not, at that stage, appreciate this advice.
See also this Population Matters article: http://tinyurl.com/ho7tc55
Support charities and other bodies
There is a list of bodies you can support in 'UN and Others' here: the ones particularly recommended are Marie Stopes International for action, and Population Matters for information and campaigning. If you are in USA, Population Media Center is an excellent organization: however Marie Stopes and Population Matters are registered charities in UK: therefore you can reclaim tax, and this may make better use of your money if you are a UK citizen.
And, of course, there is QCOP!
And. look at this site, for brilliant clarification about population growth: https://www.populationeducation.org

"Absorb what is useful. Reject what is useless."
~ Bruce Lee
This quote by Bruce Lee has stuck with me. The moment I read it, I started this post and then lost the thought and perhaps the meaning behind the quote shortly after.
Now, several months later, going through drafts of posts, I landed on this post again.
Why didn't I ever finish writing it? What stopped me? What lesson did it bring me?
So I asked the Universe: why was this quote brought into my life and what lesson was I missing from it.
The answer: A reminder to cut the bullshit from my life.
I know it's hard for some people to do that. They have a need to be in the know, in the in, and for me, "in" is so far from my need of inner peace and Universal light and love.
I use to feel that need to be in the know, that need to be in, and would feel that spark of jealousy when I wasn't and that created nothing but useless energy…spent energy I could have used elsewhere.
As I have gotten older maybe wiser, I want to spend my time with people whose energy is going to lift me up, not bring me down. I want to do things that lift me up, not down.
Being "in" doesn't necessarily do that, but you know what does, culling people and things from your life that are not useful. It's an individual, case by case inspection. It's not easy to realize people, places, things, etc aren't good for your over all spirit.
The greatest surprises or gifts as I call them are the people, places, things the Universe has shown me while feeding my spirit, soul, heart, mind with good juju. These individuals, these moments, these places, these things I am absorbing and filling myself with the Universal light, love, and magic they bring me.
The useless…it can take a hike!
What's useful to your soul and spirit and are you absorbing it or rejecting it?

Reaper vs Rock
June 7, 2010 1 Comment
Just what the hell is going on?
Seriously now.
In the last few months, members of the rock and metal world have been dropping like flies.
Top left: Ronnie James Dio – died 16/05/10
Top Right: Paul Gray/#2 from Slipknot – died 24/05/10
Bottom Left: Jimmy 'The Rev' Sullivan from Avenged Sevenfold – died 28/12/09
Bottom Right: Pete Steele from Type O Negative – died 14/04/10
That's a bit of a pummelling for the world of rock, with iconic figures as well as contemporary future legends.
The latest I just discovered was ex Stereophonics drummer, giant nose and daft hair owner, Stuart Cable.
I didn't particularly like the guy, not that I knew him, but on the occasions I encountered him as well as various interviews and TV appearances, he didn't seem particularly likeable.
But I can't help but feel a little gutted because it's another known name in the rock world to meet an end way before their time is really up (that goes for Dio too, as he was supposed to be immortal). And another member of a band that have had a considerable impact. I'll certainly notice this more here in Wales!
Really beginning to wonder if the Grim Reaper has it in for the rock world.
He's probably really after Bret Michaels, but the dude just keeps soldiering on.
Perhaps he's behind it all and it's all going a bit Highlander.
He needs to keep taking the essence of rockstars to fight his own mortality.
Seriously though, Rest In Peace the lot of you, and Reaper – stop swinging that scythe in music's direction, please.

She picked out my hand spun and I was feeling quite reluctant about letting her use it, but since she started using it she constantly praises the yarn as she knits and how can I feel bad about that? I'm really amazed at the progress she has made in her knitting. I feel like it has really clicked for her. She sat with me this afternoon while we both knit and chatted. I can't find a single mistake so far and she's even realized that she can knit without watching what she is doing now. She is gushing with excitement over this project and how fast it is coming along for her and I'm quite enjoying having another knitter in the house.

Jason Dussault is a Canadian fashion designer, reality TV star and now successful contemporary artist who is reviving an ancient and impressive artwork – the mosaic.
We love bringing new and exciting art to London, so we are delighted to announce the Canadian artist's work is exclusive to Maddox Gallery across the UK and Europe.
His pieces enjoy a huge amount of attention, and commissions are already flooding in for works by the incredible artist. If you are looking to buy Jason Dussault works as an investment or simply for enjoyment, please do get in touch.
Jason Dussault lives between Vancouver, New York and Ibiza. His work has been displayed at the Hoerle-Guggenheim Gallery, alongside famed innovators such as Picasso, Dali, Warhol and fellow Maddox Gallery favourite, Retna.
Dussault originally found fame when his fashion brand Deuce Custom Ink/Dussault Apparel led to a reality TV show, Dussault Inc., and even a working relationship with Gene Simmons on the Kiss musician's own clothing line. However, despite this success, Dussault soon made the decision to move from a career in fashion to art.
Turning his attention to something very different, he is now best known for his stunning and intricate ceramic mosaics.
"Like talking about fashion evolving, I think it's important for art to evolve. As an artist you're always trying to test your limits and trying to develop your styles and evolve so that every collection you do is different from the last," Dussault explained.
Mosaics can be considered one of the most primitive forms of art in the world. The 4,000-year-old technique was made famous by classical architecture and iconography discovered in Ancient Greece and Ancient Rome.
Dussault has re-envisioned the ancient craft, although it still remains a true labour of love. His pieces are created over two to four weeks. Impressively, he produces each artwork without any assistants.
"His pieces are especially stunning in person, where you can investigate his trademark process and style, while also picking up details like the glints of diamond dust in the grout, the glossiness of the tile and the amazing texture throughout the piece," states Canadian Gallery director Katsumi Kimoto.
Dussault also loves the possibilities of ceramic mosaic. He combines tile, paint, grout, resin and vintage porcelain in his works. His studio also contains two kilns so he can create tiles in any colours he can't find. He also stocks 'diamond dust' glitter which he uses in his grouting.
The world's most impactful art is born from the expression of internal struggle. Jason Dussault has wielded the power of that understanding, and has channelled that energy through nostalgic iconography.
Works are now on show at Maddox Gallery which re-imagine classic paintings in a wholly innovative style. Dussault combines ceramic, fabric, acrylic, feathers and resin to create classic historical subjects such as a Spanish conquistador.
However, many of his fans have chosen to invest in Jason Dussault art that features modern pop culture icons. His subjects have included superheroes, cartoons and even Lego characters. By recreating subjects from his youth, Dussault portrays the magic and excitement of childhood in a timeless style.

God bless America. Well, he's very handsome. Oh, come on! So, what's an American doing in Dunkirk? No, scrub that. What isn't he doing? Fighting. Yeah, so what does that make him? A priest? No, we need a hero. I don't know Games Travel writer? Journalist? A journalist. Hard-boiled, wise-cracking Yankee hack who can pilot a boat heroically. You're not pinching any more action from Rose and Lily. I'm not unpicking the entire bloody structure either. Will somebody give them a hand over there, please? All the way up. Of course, the irony is, they've given this to a bloody documentaries director. He won't want any dialogue, anyway. It will all be fishing nets and local kids playing football, you wait. What if it's not what the American does that makes him heroic, it's what he doesn't do? He falls for Rose, but he doesn't try to come between her and Johnnie. Self-sacrifice, that's noble. Only if he stands a chance. Maybe he does. Maybe she likes him, because he's the sort that'd let her fix the propeller. So give him a name

Instagram insight features added to the API
Posted 28/08/2017 by Tim
At the end of last month Instagram released a blog post saying they will be finally offering their insights through their API. This is great news as up until now the only way to access Instagram's insights was to use it in their own app.
For those who are new to Instagram or Instagram business profiles here's a few key features.
• Last year Instagram added a great new range of analytics and insights, available for anyone who has a business Instagram account.
• Business accounts are free for anyone wanting to promote their business.
• With the upgrade business users can choose how they want their customers to contact them: email, call, text or contact buttons are available making it simple for potential customers to reach out.
• Access to a great range of insights to help you optimize your marketing strategy.
Having a business profile is very helpful for anyone who uses Instagram to promote their business through Instagram. Accessing the insights gives you a great look at how your audience interacts with you, when they're online, plus demographics like age, gender, location etc.
Allowing access to these Instagram insights via their app is going to allow us to add them into our service, giving you even more great insights into how to optimize your account, and also if you're managing more than 1 account it will be super easy to view all of your profiles insights in the one dashboard.
Currently the insights are still in BETA however we are already planning on including them and will be working on implementing them once they have fully launched.
Back to blog.

Wasting time on waste management
Ten days on and Jamaicans are still reeling from the impact of the most recent Riverton City dump fire, costing our economy approximately $300 million. With nearly 1,000 visits to public hospitals and others to private doctors for treatment of smoke-related illnesses, school closures and GSAT suspension, loss of economic opportunities from business closures, and the personal discomfort and nuisance factor caused by smoke-related effects, this recent event tells a gripping tale of a country that is yet to come to terms with establishing a proper waste-management strategy.
While the burden of the latest catastrophe lies with this current Government, despite the prime minister's seeming unwillingness to take responsibility, the fact is that as a country, we have, for a long time, not come to terms with establishing a sustainable waste-management strategy. We have, in effect, wasted time in dealing effectively and decisively with waste management, rather, only seeming to discuss options when it becomes an obvious nuisance, distraction, or negatively impacts us as a people.
Let's be clear about this. As a country, from a growth-and-development perspective, there should be no uncertainty as to what to do to pursue a cost-effective, environmentally sustainable, and economically viable waste-management strategy. Many countries are pursuing such strategies successfully with minimal risks from fires and pollution that we have had to experience. Further, there have been many offers to successive governments from multilaterals and private-sector interests to consider and implement various proposals to establishing sanitary landfill sites in the country, but to no avail.
It seems clear that a lack of political will, caused perhaps by the politics related to scarce benefits from garbage collection, disposal, and storage, has been championed over doing what is right for the Jamaican people. In this latest episode, it appears as things change, they also remain the same, with the Government seemingly unwilling to signal its intention to take a more holistic approach to waste management.
Given that there can be no political advantage for things to remain the same, there lies an opportunity for the Government to act decisively this time around for solving this perennial challenge of fires related to Riverton and waste management in general. The politically smart thing to do, given what thousands of Jamaicans have just experienced, is establish an enterprise team to package and consider proposals for a public-private partnership to establish and operate sustainable waste management for the country and to give a timeline of no longer than a year to complete this process. This would represent at least a temporary redemption for our prime minister.
The value of garbage
As a country, we dispose of approximately 800,000 tons of residential waste annually, with 60 per cent going to the 120-hectare Riverton waste shed at a cost of more than $10 billion expenditure. A Government of Jamaica-sponsored study on integrated waste management strategy and action plan and the 2010 energy-from-waste policy National Energy-from-Waste Policy 2010-2030 clearly articulates the direction that they can and should pursue to achieving a more sustainable waste-management strategy. Why the delay? And can we afford to delay much longer?
Studies conducted by the National Environment and Planning Agency reveal that 82 per cent of the waste generated in Jamaica is organic, that is, the waste is either recyclable or compostable. This represents a volume of approximately one million tons. More than half (62 per cent) of the organic waste generated is made up of household waste, market waste, cuttings, and horse waste, making it perfect for composting. Recycling would be a viable option to undertake since plastic and paper products together account for 21 per cent of the total waste generated.
According to a soon-to-be-released study by the Caribbean Policy Research Institute (CaPRI), a policy think tank based at the University of the West Indies, "The incineration of municipal solid waste (non-toxic waste) is considered an efficient method of waste disposal due to the potential for thermal energy and also its environmentally-friendly nature. This could reduce the amount of waste that needs to be disposed of by over 85 per cent."
CaPRI explored a number of existing studies and investor interests contained in business proposals to show that it would be economically viable for the establishment of a waste-to-energy project using municipal waste directed to the Riverton City dump site, through incineration and heat recovery, to produce electricity output of 255 Giga Watts-hours (GWh) per annum to the national grid from an installed capacity of approximately 35 Mega Watts (MWe).
The CaPRI study continues: "Public-private partnership could give rise to an estimated foreign direct investment (FDI) of US$143 million for an incineration based 35MWe plant consuming around 1,800 tonnes of MSW per day. This would drive productivity as well as reducing the levels of water and air pollution". This approach would lend itself to job creation for all levels of skill sets, from engineers to those non-skilled, poorer Jamaicans, who seek out their daily livelihood from the dump and who could be utilised as sorters.
other critical elements
This model would require other critical elements to ensure success, including public education and participation and a regulatory framework including a power purchase agreement from the Office of Utilities Regulation (OUR) that motivates private-sector participation.
Of course, Jamaica would not be unique in pursuing this approach. We would instead join an impressive list of countries that have been much more progressive and deliberate in pursuing sound waste-management strategies. The CaPRI study looks at three countries from which we could learn - Barbados, Japan and Singapore - all with varying levels of success and public- and private-sector participation, all involving significant levels of recycling and all using waste to generate significant economic value in an environmentally sustainable way.
It cannot be beyond us to do the same. Madame Prime Minister, show us that you can be transformational. In the interest of Jamaica, give the directive and hold your implementers to account.

So. I caved in. And downloaded Fifty Shades of Gray on my Kindle. I blame this on the August issue of Cosmopolitan and their Fifty Shades of Blonde, which, by the way, is much better written.
I lasted until after the first sex scene (I admit it, that was why I bought it) and then I just couldn't. The. Language. Completely. Turned. Me. Off. And the characters. Are you kidding me? How someone can read this and call it amazing is a big mystery.
Go read Anaïs Nin instead. Or the Story of O by Pauline Rèage and Venus in Furs by Leopold von Sacher-Masoch. Even Marquis de Sade wrote better. Crash by J.G. Ballard is my personal favourite.

The surface was still green, hard and quick. The lines were still white. But the tennis that Serena Williams produced in this Grand Slam event bore little resemblance to the tennis she produced on her way to the title at Flushing Meadows in September.
There will be no surprised stumble along the baseline after match point on the final weekend; no phone conversation with President Clinton and his daughter, Chelsea. Williams made sure of that today in the fourth round of the Australian Open, where she beat herself as much as she was beaten by Yelena Likhovtseva.
The final score was 6-3, 6-3, and Williams, seeded third, looked sluggish and out of sorts for most of the match against the 16th-seeded Russian, who has an all-court game but rarely had to make full use of it against her gaffe-prone opponent.
Williams made 32 unforced errors: an average of nearly two a game. And it was altogether appropriate that her last shot of this surprisingly brief encounter was a backhand that struck the net for little apparent reason.
''There's no excuse for me to have lost this match,'' she said. ''I couldn't find my rhythm throughout the match. It was strange.''Continue reading the main story
Under normal circumstances, there might be another Williams still in the draw to keep tennis's first family in contention. But Serena's older sister Venus withdrew from this event shortly before it began, citing a wrist injury, and now there will be no beaded, seeded Floridians to occupy the opposition and the autograph seekers for the rest of the tournament.
Serena herself was uncertain whether she would play in this event in December. ''I just changed my mind,'' she said last week. ''I thought that if I didn't come that maybe my ranking would slip because I saw that Mary Pierce was coming up behind me.''
That at least is no longer a worry. Pierce was upset in the fourth round by Ai Sugiyama on Sunday. But in a sense, Williams's indecision about playing here was reflected by her indecision on the court. She was pushed to three sets in her opening match by Amanda Grahame, a little-known Australian, and though she played better in the third round against Sabine Appelmans, she resumed struggling again today after taking a 3-1 lead.
She would lose eight games in a row against a player she had beaten in their only two previous meetings. And though she rallied from 0-3 to 3-3 in the final set, her wayward ground strokes soon had her trailing again for good. When it ended, she walked quickly off court in the flashy red-and-black dress that had been designed to be worn much longer in Melbourne than four rounds.
This is only the third event in which Williams has played since she defeated Monica Seles, Lindsay Davenport and Martina Hingis in successive matches to win the United States Open last fall. Her last match before this tournament was last October in Filderstadt, Germany, where she was beaten in the first round by Sandrine Testud. She later withdrew from the season-ending Chase Championships with a back injury. Her back troubled her again here in the first round, and she has been receiving daily treatment. But she insisted the injury had not been a factor against Likhovtseva.
The Williamses have made a habit of defying tennis convention. They played precious little junior tennis before turning professional, and are now coached by their parents, who are self-taught and never played the game at a high level. Serena defied convention again by not playing a warm-up event before the Open. But though she conceded earlier in the tournament that perhaps she had made a mistake, she rejected that suggestion completely today.
''I wasn't unprepared,'' she said. ''I was here long enough. I answered that question a million times anyway. That's no excuse. I lost because I didn't play well, and she played good. I couldn't make any shots.''
The other reigning United States Open singles champion, Andre Agassi, needed no excuses after his fourth-round victory over the Australian Mark Philippoussis. Agassi played remarkably controlled and clever tennis in the first two sets on Sunday and after he had rallied from a 4-1 deficit in the second-set tie breaker, the 16th-seeded Philippoussis, normally a mild-mannered sort despite his imposing physique, reared back and smashed his racket on the court.
''The guy can make a racket look like a toothpick you know,'' Agassi said. ''I was just thinking, 'I'm glad I'm not the racket.' ''
Agassi, the No. 1 seed, ended up winning by 6-4, 7-6 (7-4), 5-7, 6-3 to advance to the quarterfinals, where he will face Hicham Arazi of Morocco. Pete Sampras also advanced with a four-set victory over Slava Dosedel of the Czech Republic. Sampras could face Agassi in the semifinals, but first he must get past another American, Chris Woodruff, who upset 11th-seeded Tim Henman in five sets.
Nicolas Kiefer of Germny, seeded fourth, also reached the quarterfinals by defeating Wayne Ferreira in straight sets today. In the women's draw, Arantxa Sanchez-Vicario defeated Barbara Schett, 1-6, 6-0, 7-5, in the fourth round. Conchita Martinez also won, beating the American Kristina Brandi, 6-1, 6-1.Continue reading the main story

Athenas Sweep Saugehens, Rank Second Nationally
Jo Nordhoff-Beard | Oct. 14, 2016, 5:17 p.m.
Nicole Kerkhof CM'17 smashes the ball for a kill over Isabel Kelly PO '20 (l) and Vicky-Marie Addo-Ashong PO '20 (r). In this iteration of the Sixth Street Rivalry, the Athenas (16-0 (8-0 Southern California Intercollegiate Athletic Conference) handly beat the Sagehens (8-9 (4-5 SCIAC)) 3-0. Kerkhof had four kills in the win and has a 3.56 kills per set average and a 0.235 hitting percentage throughout the season. The Athenas are the number two nationally ranked team and are number one in SCIAC with an undefeated record, on pace to win the SCIAC regular season championships. The Sagehens, meanwhile, sit on the playoff bubble in the number five spot and are trying to contend with Occidental College for the last spot in the SCIAC tournament. Their first match against Occidental was a tough five set loss, with the Sagehens giving up a 2-0 set lead. Kelly, the first year outside hitter, is a bright spot for the Sagehens, having the highest kill percentage on the team at 0.239. The Sagehens have a tough road ahead to the playoffs, with some of their last matchups against top contenders Cal Lutheran, La Verne, and CMS. Look forward to the next Athenas-Sagehens matchup on Saturday, October 22, at Roberts Pavilion.

Pfizer to draw drug from global portfolio
Pfizer India intends to align its business in line with its parent Pfizer Inc. According to the source, the company would draw drugs from it global portfolio, close to the international launches and bring in therapeutic products.
The Indian subsidiary of the pharma major will restructure its field force in alignment with therapeutic products in the coming months. Pfizer, which currently markets around 100 products in India, would launch products of therapeutic value in the cardio vascular, oncology, psychiatry, urology and opthalmology segments in future.

I've never had one person tell me they think there is something wrong with me because I sleep in a bed shaped like the Millennium Falcon, or refuse to drink clear liquids, but when I mention that Christmas is bullshit and I would prefer to skip it entirely, they immediately make the proclamation that I'm an ass hole or that there is something wrong with me.
I had my fun with the season as a child but now that I'm an adult, getting together with friends and family for Christmas seems like such a waste of time, especially since we see each other so often as it is. We celebrate birthdays and graduations, anniversaries and parole hearings. We have BBQ's and Super Bowl parties. We hold gatherings for the birth of babies and wakes for the death of old relatives whose name no one remembers. We show up at each others houses with bottles of whisky and sit in hot tubs while talking about old times and peeing in the warm water. We meet on golf courses and basketball courts to pretend like were still in shape, or go camping on long weekends and share the same roll of toilet paper. So, by the time Christmas comes around, I've had an impacted ass full of everyone I know and would much prefer to be left alone. And this (I am told) makes me an ass-hole.
I'm actually thinking of converting to Judaism just for an an excuse to not give a shit about the baby Jesus. For some reason telling people I'm an atheist holds no weight in the 'Christmas is bullshit' arena, but saying your Jewish gives you an immediate pass. People nod their head in understanding when told you don't celebrate for religious reasons, but when you tell them you don't celebrate because you would rather be playing Call Of Duty or you think Jesus was a bit of a dick-hole, their judgemental fingers begin waving like a flaccid penis in a wind storm.
I wouldn't have to convert to Judaism, mind you, any old religion will do as long as it didn't involve the worship of that dead guy in all the paintings at church. I could even invent my own religion like L. Ron Hubbard or the vagrant who lives in the bushes behind my house.
Oh, I know what your thinking, "What about your kids? Don't they deserve to enjoy the pleasures of the holiday season?" Well, without wanting to sound like a complete douchebag, but knowing I will anyway.....Fuck the kids!
All year long Grandma and Grandpa are passing them money under the table, bringing them the newest and best video games and buying them clothes that are so nice my wife and I were forced to upgrade our wardrobes in order to keep from looking like a couple of homeless people next to them. My kids have a nicer cell phone than me and have traveled to more parts of the country. When it comes to wanting for nothing, my kids have it covered, making the whole gift giving part of Christmas, superfluous.
Having said all that, I may be amenable to the celebration of a new holiday based around the winter solstice. Here in the Northern Hemisphere the winter solstice marks the spot where the days begin to get longer, signifying summer is slowly inching its way back, which means I will soon be stealing my neighbours pot plants again (Yahoo). Not to mention the solstice is a verifiable astronomical event that doesn't require your belief in magic babies or that Joseph was dumb enough to think his wife was actually a virgin.
I've heard there are a growing number of secular people that celebrate "Festivus", the holiday created by Frank Costanza, on the TV show Seinfeld. This would certainly be something I could get behind. The whole idea of the yearly "Airing of grievances" as part of the Festivus tradition is one that appeals to me immensely. I think I would enjoy the holidays much more if I knew I'd be able to tell my sister what I really think of her showing my six year old daughter how to twerk or my wife how to use teeth during oral.
So I'll just muddle through Christmas day with a phony smile pinned to my chin. I'll eat too much candy and drink too much wine, maybe throw up on the cabbage rolls again, or punch a hole through another TV. I'll pretend to be joyful and gay all night long, then go to bed with a simper and wake up knowing there are only about 350 more days to go until people start call me an ass-hole again.

Avoiding a drop in tourists
Britain's tourism industry is warning that "woeful" government underfunding could jeopardise its prospects of achieving the target of a £2bn windfall from the London 2012 Olympics. It says that cuts to overseas marketing budgets are symptomatic of the government's failure to treat tourism seriously, and claims that the benefits of staging the games have been hyped by ministers.

Kelsang Nortso's Day
Greetings everybody. Welcome to the first day of my Solar New Year. Which day I hereby name Kelsang Nortso Day. Read and see the video of my story of the day below.
Martin Slavin
The Chinese authorities are trying to limit the number of climbers on Mount Everest's north side in Tibet. Officially the Chinese are preparing a trial run of the torch relay for the Olympic Games on the summit, but many speculate that the real reason is that Everest is close to Cho Oyu where Chinese army guards shot at Tibetan refugees in September.

Tuesday on ABC's "The View," during a discussion of former Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin's battle with animal rights group PETA over her six-year-old son using the family service dog as a so-called stepping stool, co-host Nicolle Wallace, who worked with Palin as an adviser during Sen. John McCain's (R-AZ) 2008 presidential bid, said she gets PTSD at the sight of Palin.
Co-host Rosie O'Donnell asked Wallace, "Do you have PTSD when you see her?"
Wallace replied, "A little bit. I start to sweat out."
Wallace added she debated backstage, "Who do I get to try to kill me today? PETA or Palin?"

After enduring a punishing fire-and-brimstone treatment from prosecutors, regulators, politicians and investors alike, top bankers have sworn that they never will repeat the kind of contentious structured-finance transactions they arranged for Enron Corp. and others.

IT was a point that really didn't benefit either club, although Newport have more games left than their rivals to reach the required Conference Two target figure.
In truth, it was a poor game, not aided by a hard and bobbly playing surface that suggests much work has to be done at the Newport Stadium.
The pitch probably contributed to the hamstring injury that rules Jamie Moralee out of the trip to Bath City today (3pm), a game that again sees County without midfielder Nathan Davies.
County boss Peter Nicholas will be hoping his side can find a pattern of play and a cutting edge at Twerton Park that seems to be missing at present.
There was plenty of endeavour but little end product, the scant service up front being wasted.
John Phillips' pace caused one or two anxious moments for Moor Green but the visitors were generally comfortable throughout.
Former County striker Neil Davis made a successful return to Newport, his bullet of a 13th-minute shot leaving defenders and goalkeeper Duncan Roberts standing.
But County defender Jeff Eckhardt joined Phillips as the club's joint top scorer when he headed home seven minutes before the break.
With Bath occupying bottom spot, County can ill-afford to stutter again today as further dropped points could lead to doubts over Conference qualification.

Oh, the faces she has seen.
Ol' Blue Eyes Frank Sinatra. Muhammad Ali. Burn Notice co-star Sharon Gless. Woody Allen. President George W. Bush. FBI director J. Edgar Hoover. Al Pacino. Billy Joel.
Movie and TV stars. Rock and rollers and jazz sophisticates. Gangsters and the fuzz. Bankers and lawyers. Royalty and their subjects. The rich and those who aspired to be.
Forget them.
Rose McDaniel was the face of the culinary landmark Miami Beach restaurant Joe's Stone Crab. Just ask Joe's owner Jo Ann Bass whose grandparents Joe and Jennie Weiss opened its doors in 1913.
"She definitely had a presence," Bass said. "She was like the face of Joe's. She would stand at the cash register — a tunnel we call it, a walkway between the main room and the garden room. You'd have to pass that area to get to the table and that's where she would stand and greet everybody. She was just amazing. She never had her hair out of place. Dressed beautifully. She was a grand dame."
McDaniel died Wednesday at her daughter's home in Orlando at 85. But her spirit remains with Joe's staff and clientele of the tony eatery on the southern tip of Washington Avenue. Her desire was to have her ashes spread at Joe's so she will rest in Joe's garden, alongside other Joe's dignitaries like retired waiter Phil Grier, WPLG anchor Ann Bishop and Bass' late husband. "Me? I'm heading in another direction," Bass quipped.
And perhaps the spirit of that tall woman, with the equally regal blond bouffant 'do and "dragon lady nails" and impeccable style, resonates with no one more than Bass.
"We were sister friends for 60 years. She was bawdy and elegant and one of the funniest women. I'm a teetotaler by choice. I can't stand the taste. But Rosie was a very good drinker and loved socializing at bars and people would mix us up."
Bass didn't mind if people mistook McDaniel for Joe's owner. "But I hate for them to think I'm the one at the bar every night," she said, chuckling. "She was closer than a sister. She was my mother's favorite daughter."
"Mother" was the late Grace Weiss, Joe's chairman of the board and the woman who married Bass' father Jesse Weiss after her own mother died when she was 16 months old.
For decades the two women, Weiss, who died at 98 in 2013, and McDaniel, who started out at Joe's decades ago as a cashier and earned the title of Joe's "daytime manager," hit the road every summer bound for California. There were stops along the way. Las Vegas, in particular, where the duo played the slots, and, for a time, schmoozed with Weiss' old pal, popular song stylist Frankie Laine.
McDaniel, born in Cranston, Kentucky on June 18, 1929, met Bass through a mutual friend. The initial meeting was, well, off to a bumpy start according to author Deeny Kaplan Lorber's 2013 book, Waiting at Joe's (Seaside Publishing; $17.96). "When she met me, Jo Ann told me I looked like the '50s movie actress Jan Sterling. I told Jo Ann I didn't like Jan Sterling, 'so I'm not sure I'm going to like you!'"
But like each other, they did.
From Lorber's book: "I was divorced, and Jo Ann was afraid I didn't have enough money. She'd come to visit me in Hollywood, where I lived, and she'd put food in my refrigerator. One day she said, 'Why don't you come in to help mother at night and be a cashier?' I told her that it sounded as if it could be fun, and before I knew it, I became a fixture at Joe's."
The stars who visited Joe's loved her back — even when they were bounced out on their rear.
"She threw out Lenny Kravitz," recalls Joe's general manager Brian Johnson. "He got a brand new tattoo and was wearing a tank top. We don't allow tank tops. He borrowed a friend's sweat shirt and put it on to sit down and eat. Fifteen minutes into the service he took off his sweat shirt, it was rubbing against his tattoo. She said, none so gingerly, 'You have to leave!'"
Kravitz complied. And, after heading out on a tour, he marveled at how many people came up to him to note how McDaniel threw him out. He was charmed. "We introduced Lenny to Rose formally and they became very good friends," Johnson said.
Another time, during a South Beach Wine & Food Festival weekend, McDaniel and Johnson chased celeb chef Guy Fieri all around the dining room "trying to put a bus boy's jacket on him" when he wandered into the main room after chatting up Joe's chef from the back door.
"She was the strongest, most independent person I've ever met in my life, which made me the bitch I am," teased McDaniel's daughter Lori Hamric-Miller. "I am identical to her when it comes to independence and strength. She carried a keychain that had 'Bitch' on it, which I got her. I say that lovingly. She was the classiest bitch I ever met!
"This was always a joke, but I'd say I came from the milkman. I was the entire opposite of her, not that I can't have class but I'm a blue jeans girl. Mom was class. Hanky always in her jacket pocket. Always the jewelry. Always perfect," Hamric-Miller said.
Local film producer, rakontur co-founder Alfred Spellman remembers many a night with McDaniel at the bar at the former Joe Allen on Purdy Avenue, one of her favorite post-work hangouts.
"I spent many nights sitting with her at the bar at Joe Allen and listening to her stories of old Miami. One of the best was when Frank Sinatra took her out on a date. I was always drinking Jack on the rocks and she told me that was Frank's favorite drink," Spellman, 36, said.
"We would drink and talk until closing. She was a great storyteller. A real raconteur."
In addition to her daughter and son-in-law Randy Miller, McDaniel is survived by her grandson, Clay Donovan Hamric, and two great-granddaughters, Ansleigh and Maci Hamric.

Fund&Grow assists small businesses and real estate investors in overcoming financing hurdles by helping them get up to $250,000 in unsecured funds.
Spring Hill, Florida (PRWEB) September 27, 2016
Today, Credit Card Builders, an industry leader in unsecured business financing, announced they have changed the name of the company to Fund&Grow. The new name will allow for new growth in finance education, as well as expansion into new areas of business financing and services.
Most investors and entrepreneurs need funds on a regular basis, either to run their day-to-day operations or to expand their businesses. However, getting inexpensive capital is seldom an easy task. This is where Fund&Grow comes in – helping small businesses and real estate investors get affordable funding.
Common sources of financing, such as traditional loans or lines of credit, require a litany of documentation and take a painstaking amount of time to get approved. Additionally, they can be very expensive and require proof of income to qualify for in the first place.
Fund&Grow assists small businesses and real estate investors in overcoming these hurdles by helping them get up to $250,000 and more unsecured funding at little or no interest, by leveraging business credit cards.
By using business credit cards, proof of income is not required and recipients are able to keep business debt off their personal credit reports. Not only can clients get access to the amount of funds that they require, but they can also build business credit, qualify for rewards such as free travel and cash back, and ensure their business debt does not impact their personal credit ratings. Moreover, the credit can be used as cash for a very small fee.
Fund&Grow does all of the legwork, including applying for and appealing each application to ensure the maximum amount is granted per lender.
The Company also helps their clients get corporate credit. Corporate credit is a great way to purchase inventory, equipment, supplies for the office - anything that can be bought from a vendor. Fund&Grow helps businesses obtain as much as $100,000 or more from organizations such as Lowes, Staples, Amazon and many others, as well as companies that provide credit for automobiles and gas, and so on. One of the greatest advantages of corporate credit is that it is non-recourse and requires no personal guarantee.
"We're excited to roll out some new services to our clients over the years ahead," said Ari Page, CEO of Fund&Grow. "Our sustained year-over-year growth has put us in a prime position to make an even bigger difference for our market."
The company's growth has been fueled by an increasingly healthy credit market and innovative strategies to maximize access to that market. Fund&Grow's relationships with many real estate educational networks and financial institutions, as well as the thousands of happy clients they've served with consistent results, has created a great reputation in the small business and real estate investment community.
To learn more about Fund&Grow, go to http://www.fundandgrow.com/pr to view a free educational web class where Fund&Grow's CEO and COO detail the best practices for obtaining business credit lines.

Bill Schuster working his way back to the sideline
Livonia native Bill Schuster will always be an NFL referee, and a pretty good one at that. But in May, he became something else: a cancer survivor.
Schuster was diagnosed with esophogial cancer in 2015, which forced him to take a break from his job as an NFL ref.
But now, in 2016, Schuster is getting his body, and mind ready for a return to the sidelines.

Go 1.8 goes for efficiency and convenience
Go 1.8, the next version of Google's open source language, is moving toward general availability, with a release candidate featuring improvements in compilation and HTTP. The final Version 1.8 is due in February.
According to draft notes, the release candidate features updates to the compiler back end for more efficient code. The back end, initially developed for Go 1.7 for 64-bit x86 systems, is based on static single assignment (SSA) form to generate more efficient code and to serve as a platform for optimizations like bounds check elimination. It now works on all architectures.
