Well maybe you do need badges to go on the beach in most of new jersey so lets take a look at where you should go to get them. The terms "beach badges" and "beach tags" are interchangeable. For some reason, from Atlantic City to the south, beach badges are known as "beach tags." From Atlantic City north, they're "beach badges". Just remember that Atlantic City and Wildwood are free beaches (and the most packed with people) If your cruising the shore this summer looking to take a dip in the cool, salty Atlantic Ocean, do some research and check out a few of the lesser traveled beaches like Cape May Point.
Beach Badge Information
From the Asbury Park Press…
"Consider on this holiday weekend that the economics behind the cost of Jersey Shore beach tags amount to voodoo."
Few argue, at least along the shore, that beach tags are unjust or unnecessary. As Belmar Mayor Kenneth Pringle said, "There is no such thing as a free beach. People pay for it somewhere along the way." MORE…

New Jersey is well known for its inviting coastline, which provides recreational opportunities for residents and visitors from near and far. Our 127-mile long coast along the Atlantic Ocean and 83 miles of shoreline along the Raritan and Delaware Bays are an ecological treasure and economic engine for the state. Miles of sandy beaches, bustling boardwalks and busy coastal waterways provide New Jersey with a robust tourism industry estimated to be worth more than $36 billion annually. The allure of New Jersey's coastline has proven so great that the vast majority of its more than 8 million residents live within 30 miles of the coast. With the densest population in the country and a growing tourism industry, it has become increasingly important to preserve and enhance public access. MORE…

Homemade Cleaners for a Better Life
March 17, 2013 Lifestyle
Nowadays there are a lot of ready-to-buy green cleaning products which are harmless for our health and for the environment as well. However, you can resort to homemade cleaners when you want to save some money or you have just run out of the usual cleaning products. When you decide to switch to homemade cleaners only it would be better to test them one by one, slowly, in order to find out what works better in your house. It may be a little more difficult at the beginning but it's for you to decide whether it's worth the effort or not.
The most common and effective natural cleaning products are vinegar, lemon and baking soda. Their effects can be enhanced by essential oils with antiseptic and antibacterial properties like tea tree essential oil or pine essential oil.

When I see "beet salad" on the menu, I'm not expecting anything particularly revolutionary. I do like a beet in time, however; bring it to me via borsht or even cocktail. The bloody beetroot is vivacious in color and taste. The veggie stands on its own and well, you might have to try extra hard to screw that up.
But none of that really takes away from the heavenly experience I had devouring Chef Tony DiSalvo's version. I call it a mashup. He adds hazelnuts – a decidedly rich choice and an upgrade from your typical walnuts. And no, that is not feta or goat cheese. That is truffle panna cotta - the creamy, decadent umami to the dish which surprisingly doesn't overpower.  The baby lettuce used is more of a vessel for all these pickled, sweet and rich flavors, taking the place of your usual, bitter mixed greens like arugula and escarole.
And the beets. They are alternatingly roasted and pickled, and are all deliciously left as the centerpiece of the salad.
Yeah, I just described salad. I can hardly believe it, myself. This is one of those dishes (in addition to the perfect meatballs – but more on that, later) that just proves that Chef DiSalvo's cooking is underrated. There are gems scattered throughout the menu, and the beet salad is just a teaser.

'Stay away from people like me,' warns Nikolai (Viggo Mortensen, pictured), the brutal body-disposer/chauffeur at the centre of David Cronenberg's London-set Russian mobster thriller.
Not since 'you're gonna need a bigger boat' has a piece of movie advice required such strong heeding. This is a guy who coldly hacks the fingers off a corpse before casually stubbing his cigarette out on his own tongue.
In the hands of any other actor, Nikolai would be a cartoon, yet Mortensen invests him with enigmatic menace and humanity.
He's ably supported by Naomi Watts, playing a British midwife trying to track down the family of a 14-yearold girl who died giving birth; a search that leads her to the restaurantowning Russian mafia.
Much has been made of Mortensen's startling nude fight scene, but Cronenberg also delivers the most gripping baby-in-peril sequence since a pram slo-moed down some steps in The Untouchables.
Yet, it's Mortensen, not Cronenberg, who gives the movie its guts. Watching the former Hobbit-friend stick a knife into someone's eye is unsettling yet provocative.

Kelso Carter had an astonishingly varied career--a sheep rancher, a minister, an author and publisher, a physician, and more! His name also appears in our hymn books as the contributor of a gospel song. Mr. Carter (1849-1928) wrote the widely popular "Standing on the Promises" in 1886, while he was serving as a professor (of chemistry and mathematics) at the Pennsylvania Military Academy. The music, composed by Carter as well, has the kind of bright marching style that must have been familiar at the academy.
The song begins, "Standing on the promises of Christ my King, / Through eternal ages let His praises ring; / Glory in the highest, I will shout and sing, / Standing on the promises of God." In the second stanza, the author addresses the problem of fear. Not just the ordinary kind. Great fear. "Howling storms of doubt and fear." Doesn't that paint a picture for your mind's eye? Veritable tornadoes of fear, and blinding blizzards of doubt. "Am I going to make it through this? I don't know if I can!" Maybe you've never faced an emotional gale like that. Maybe you have. I can remember an occasion when I did.
Years ago, I had to defend myself before an angry, hateful man, who seemed bent on causing me great harm. I had requested a meeting with him. But as I made my way there, the winds of fear and doubt swirled about me and I felt powerless against them. However, a ball point pen in my pocket brought special encouragement. A lucky charm? No. The pen was a gift from a friend of mine who knew what I was facing. He had been supportive and helpful many times. We shared a common confidence in the faithfulness of God. Above all, I knew he was praying for me. As I braced myself against the tempest, I felt that pen in my shirt pocket, and thought of my friend.
The words of Joseph also came to mind. His brothers had kidnapped him, and sold him as a slave into Egypt. But God worked in a wonderful way to bless his life and make him a blessing to others. At a later meeting with his siblings Joseph said, "As for you, you meant evil against me; but God meant if for good" (Gen. 50:20). It is an illustration of the words of the New Testament: "All things work together for good to those who love God, to those who are the called according to His purpose" (Rom. 8:28). That was a promise I was eager to claim, in my personal storm! Perhaps, with stronger faith, I would have faced my ordeal with more serenity, but I do believe I got through it with integrity.
Jesus told a parable one day about two builders. One foolishly erected his house on sandy soil, without an adequate foundation. The other dug down and anchored his house to the solid rock beneath. When the rains and raging floods struck, the house upon the sand collapsed, but the other did not. In making an application, Jesus said, "Whoever hears these sayings of Mine, and does them, I will liken him to a wise man who built his house on the rock" (Matt. 7:24-27).
In Mr. Carter's words, "Standing on the promises that cannot fail, / When the howling storms of doubt and fear assail, / By the living Word of God I shall prevail, / Standing on the promises of God." Life's storms may threaten to sweep us away at times, but when we choose to stand upon the promises of God, we have found a place of safety, a place where the footing is forever firm. With confidence we say, "the Word of our God stands forever" (Isa. 40:8). To believe it and obey it is to anchor our lives to the impregnable rock of God's truth.

Furniture Row Racing, Martin Truex Jr. looking for new sponsor
Furniture Row Racing is looking for a new sponsor for reigning Monster Energy NASCAR Cup Series champion Martin Truex Jr.
FRR announced Wednesday that 5-Hour Energy, which served as the primary sponsor on Truex's No. 78 Toyota in 14 races this season and a co-primary with Bass Pro Shops in 30, is ending its NASCAR involvement at the conclusion of the 2018 season.
The energy shot company joined Furniture Row in 2017, serving as primary sponsor on the No. 77 Toyota with rookie Erik Jones, as well as a season-long associate and two primaries on the No. 78 with Truex during his championship campaign.
"Since joining Furniture Row Racing in 2017, the team has delivered on every promise," said Rise' Meguiar, 5-Hour's president of sales. "In addition to being a championship team, winning races and putting 5-hour Energy in Victory Lane multiple times, they have also become part of our family.
"We cannot thank Barney Visser, Joe Garone, Martin and the entire Furniture Row Racing team enough for the pride they have given us. They are a first-class group on and off the track. Although 5-hour Energy has made the business decision to leave NASCAR, we will be fans and friends for life, and we look forward to finishing strong in 2018."
5-Hour has been a NASCAR primary sponsor for nearly a decade, including the last seven at the Cup Series level.
Garone, president of Furniture Row Racing, said that a new sponsor will become one of the highest profile brands in the sport.
"I want to first send a sincere thank you to everyone at 5-hour Energy for being an excellent and loyal partner. The way 5-hour Energy has activated its programs over the years demonstrated a commitment and creativity as a NASCAR race team sponsor.
"Being a perennial championship contending team with a talented driver in Martin, Furniture Row Racing continues to be committed in offering a new sponsor not only success on the race track but also the benefit of a strong marketing platform with our powerful team of partners."
Truex is also in the final year of his current contract with Furniture Row. In a recent interview, Truex said "sponsorship commitments" was one of the items that had to be worked out before a new contract could be completed.

Unjustified developments of renewable energy sources: the danger to be lured into a trap (I)
Some of the EU Member States decided to pursue the so called nuclear phase-out policy aiming to end nuclear power generation. All this points towards an energy policy which puts renewable energy sources for electricity production into the foreground. Although Germany takes the lead role in this plan, it has already faced serious problems which have been anticipated by experts.

Nominate the buildings you love
Malvern Hills District Council is inviting nominations for its list of locally important buildings and structures.
There are many listed buildings and structures, scheduled monuments, conservation areas, registered parks and gardens, and even one registered battlefield within the Malvern Hills district, classed as Designated Heritage Assets.
But there are still many other buildings and structures that the community holds dear and which make a valuable contribution to a local sense of history, place and quality of life.
If a building or structure is included on Malvern's local list of Heritage Assets and then at some point in the future that building is proposed to be altered, extended or even demolished, the fact that it has been included on the local list and the reasons for its inclusion can be an important consideration and may influence future planning decisions.
Duncan Rudge, Development Control Manager at Malvern Hills, said: "Many buildings across the district will be important locally because of their architectural, historic or social interest, but we might not know much about them. This is an exciting opportunity for people to research buildings within the Malvern Hills district that they think are important and worthy of inclusion on the list, and that might merit greater protection by being included on the list."
Anyone can submit a nomination.
To nominate a building or structure, people should first read the supplementary planning document as it provides useful guidance on what you need to do to make a nomination. This is available in the planning section of Malvern Hills' website – at www.malvernhills.gov.uk/heritage-assets. The guidance also explains how nominations will be assessed before a decision is taken as to whether or not they will be included on the list. The guidance also includes a helpful nomination form.
The supplementary planning document and nomination form is also available on request from the Worcestershire Hub based at the libraries in Great Malvern and Tenbury Wells.
Completed nomination forms can be returned by post to Malvern Hills Planning Services, The Council House, Avenue Road, Malvern WR14 3AF. They can also be submitted by email to firstname.lastname@example.com.
There is no deadline for nominations.

4 Benefits of an Integrated Talent Management System in UAEMenaItech
Incorporating a cutting edge Talent Management System in UAE can go a long way in benefiting administration within your organization, generating payroll, and smoothing the flow of information across the HR department.
Ease of sharing data helps your employees to perform better and takes the trivial hassles off your hand to leave your business free to create and innovate. Here's how a viable Talent Management System in UAE can prove beneficial for your business and is a must have for any thriving organization:
- Encourages Strategic Recruiting
Integrating the vital hiring tasks, such as running pre-employment assessments, applicant tracking, and assigning job descriptions, helps bring the cream of the industry to your door and ensures that your organization only incorporates the most top-notch talent. In addition, when using an integrated Talent Management System in UAE you can import all the data pertinent to a new hire during the on hiring, boarding, and recruiting process, to their employee profiles. This data can prove to be beneficial for other areas of talent management, thus thwarting any opportunity for clerical errors and alleviating time deplete during redundant data entry.
- Ensure Happier Employees by Improving the Employee Experience
Keeping the same copy of employee profile, from the inception when the resumes are scoured, throughout the entire journey of the employee within the organization, helps the HR department to cultivate long term relationships with stellar performers and alleviate the turnover rate in the company. The ability to update employee information, manage their benefits, and view paystubs, all from an integrated talent management system grants much peace of mind to employees and motivates them to stay productive at work. The single system makes it much easier to retain productive employees and attract new ones, by managing benefit plans more efficiently.
- Tap in to the Proficiency of Partners
If you don't have an in house lab for performing pre-employment screenings, a viable talent management system helps you get in touch with the right partners to deal with certain aspects of your HR responsibilities, taking them off your hands so that your internal team can focus on more vital core functionalities. These third party partners involve companies that specialize in development and training, payroll outsourcing, administration benefits, on boarding, and recruiting.
4. Smarter Business Decisions Drive from Access to Data
Unified HR systems incorporate various services, such as ongoing performance assessments, benefits management, and recruitments. The unprecedented view of comprehensive information allows management a simpler vantage point to discern patterns within the operational data of the company, so that it is easier to determine how a decision could affect the company as a whole.

I finally managed to have a play again, and get another idea out of my head.
Sometimes you get your hands on a craft item, whether it be a stamp or a die, and the ideas just keep pouring in your head.
This Koi stamp set by Nicolewrightdesigns.com is one of those items.... I got this set and the cherry blossom set, and the tags and cards just create themselves. In my previous post I used both of them. Feel free to have a browse ;-)
I am a bit of a koi fan and this is the first stamp set that really tickled my fancy.
Oh...hang on...another idea just popped in my head!! Will try and make that one very soon also...
This card was very easy to do. I stamped the images on water color card stock and heat embossed them with white embossing powder. After it cooled down I sprayed water all over it and started painting with my distress inks and my trusted water brushes.
After it all dried I inked the edge with walnut stain distress ink and stuck it on a card blank.
To finish it off I added some iridescent sequins here and there for the effect of bubbles. And voila!
Thank you for stepping by and I hope to see you again.
Take care,

What Causes Anemia?
Iron deficiency anemia is the most common type of anemia. Its usual cause is blood loss, which leaves the body short of red cells that can carry iron. Women of childbearing age, especially those with heavy menstrual periods, are vulnerable to iron-deficiency anemia. So is anyone with a condition that involves slow bleeding, such as hemorrhoids, rectal polyps, ulcers, digestive cancers, or regular use of aspirin or nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) such as ibuprofen or naproxen. Iron-deficiency anemia is rarely due to lack of dietary iron, since the U.S. food industry adds this mineral to a wide variety of foods.
Folic acid deficiency anemia comes from a deficiency of folic acid, which is crucial in the formation of red blood cells. Most at risk are people whose diets have a poor supply of folic acid and people who don't absorb it efficiently, among them alcoholics, smokers, people with certain digestive disorders, infants, adolescents who are having a growth spurt, people over age 50, and pregnant or lactating women.
Pernicious anemia comes from a lack of vitamin B12, usually because of an absorption problem, since most people get enough vitamin B12 in their diet. The major exception here are the strict vegetarians (called vegans because they avoid eggs and dairy along with meat, poultry, and fish), since most of our B12 comes from animal sources. Vegetarians do not have an absorption problem regarding B12, they're just not getting enough of it. Nutritionally oriented physicians routinely advise strict vegetarians to take a good multiple vitamin or a B complex vitamin to avoid this problem.
Chronic illnesses (such as cancer, lupus, or rheumatoid arthritis), hereditary disorders such as sickle-cell anemia, or exposure to toxic drugs, chemicals, or radiation cause other forms of anemia.
Return to Top
Treatment and Prevention
Don't attempt to diagnose or treat anemia on your own. Before beginning any kind of treatment, you need to find out what kind of anemia you have. This requires a visit to your doctor, who will run tests on a sample of your blood. The results will indicate whether your anemia is due to an iron deficiency (the most common cause) or deficiencies of other nutrients.
Additional tests may be ordered at the start or during the course of treatment to pinpoint the reason for a nutrient deficiency. For example, your doctor may recommend an endoscopy (in which a lighted tube is inserted through the mouth into the esophagus) to locate the source of blood loss that is often responsible for iron deficiencies.
Once the cause of the anemia has been identified, your doctor will advise you about how to treat it. Because nutrient deficiencies are involved in most cases of anemia, supplements often have a valuable role to play. But it's important to talk to your doctor about which supplements might be right for you. Don't take supplements to treat anemia, especially iron supplements, without professional advice.
Be sure to take any supplements for as long as your doctor advises. It's also important to follow any dietary changes that may be recommended. Your doctor should talk to you about any medications you may be taking, especially aspirin or other NSAID pain relievers, which can cause gastrointestinal bleeding. And once treatment is underway, you should have your blood tested on a regular basis to see how you are responding.
Because anemia can be caused by a number of different disorders that affect red blood cells, there is no single strategy for preventing it. But eating a healthy, balanced diet and taking a daily high-potency multivitamin supplement can help your body maintain a proper balance of vitamins and minerals.

How Supplements Can Help
Iron is of course the most important supplement in iron-deficiency anemia. Iron is a vital ingredient of hemoglobin. Work closely with your doctor when taking iron, since an excess can create damaging molecules called free radicals that can raise cholesterol, block arteries, and ultimately cause heart disease. (Most postmenopausal women, and men of all ages, get enough dietary iron and don't need a supplement.) Doctors recommend taking supplements several times a day with meals and at least 8 ounces of fluid, but not with milk or antacids since these limit how well the iron is absorbed.
Vitamin C taken several times daily may help in all types of nutritional anemia because it helps the body absorb nutrients more efficiently. In one study, strict vegetarians who took vitamin C increased hemoglobin and blood iron levels significantly.
Vitamin B12 and folic acid can remedy anemia due to a deficiency of these nutrients. It's important to take them both, because high levels of one can conceal a deficiency of the other. They also work together to increase the formation of red blood cells. Also, be sure to take them under a doctor's supervision. Once anemia is corrected, and as long as absorption problems aren't the cause of the anemia, a daily multivitamin may contain enough B12 and folic acid to maintain health. Some doctors believe that injected B12 is better absorbed than oral forms, but some studies suggest that B12 placed under the tongue (sublingual) works just as well. Doctors recommend the sublingual form twice a day for one month. The National Academy of Sciences now urges all seniors to take B12 supplements since people over age 50 absorb it less efficiently.

Self-Care Remedies
To prevent and help remedy iron-deficiency anemia, eat foods rich in iron such as red meat, dried beans, dried fruits (especially apricots), nuts, shellfish, and liver.
To prevent and help remedy folic acid deficiency anemia, eat foods rich in folic acid such as citrus fruits, spinach, asparagus, mushrooms, soybeans, wheat germ, and liver.
To prevent and help remedy pernicious anemia, eat foods rich in vitamin B12 such as shellfish, lamb, beef, cheese, fish, eggs, and liver.

When to Call a Doctor
Before you take supplements for anemia, you need to find out why you are anemic. Your doctor will order blood tests to determine the cause.
Self-treatment of anemia without a professional diagnosis is a bad idea. This is because even though supplements may improve your anemia temporarily, you could be ignoring an important underlying problem.
For instance, the most common form of anemia, iron-deficiency anemia, is usually due to heavy menstrual periods. But iron-deficiency anemia can actually caused by any loss of blood, including a bleeding ulcer or even a tumor in your colon. In such cases, the anemia is simply a "red-flag" warning. And to mask this warning by self-treatment can be dangerous.
After your doctor has started treatment, be sure to have a blood test every month to make sure it is working.
How to Take the Supplements
These supplement recommendations are only to be used when the cause of your anemia has been determined, and your doctor has recommended that you take a blood-building formula (called a "hematinic").
Begin with a daily high-potency multivitamin plus a good antioxidant complex. The multi should contain enough B vitamins to prevent the second most common anemia, a B-vitamin deficiency. (The only exception to taking B vitamins is if you're diagnosed with pernicious anemia, caused by an inability to absorb vitamin B12.)
For iron-deficiency anemia, your doctor will recommend extra iron often combined with vitamin C to improve iron absorption. Blood-building formulas contain iron, vitamin C, and B complex.
For B-vitamin deficiency anemia. Folic acid-deficiency anemias are usually caused by several months of a bad diet; taking a good hematinic will correct this. B12-deficiency anemias (pernicious anemia) occur among strict vegetarians or older people who can't absorb B12;often this condition requires B12 injections. A note of caution: B-vitamin deficiency anemias can be very difficult to accurately diagnose and treat. You need to be under a physician's care for this condition.
We at WholeHealthMD strongly recommend that everyone take a high-potency multivitamin/mineral and well-balanced antioxidant complex every day. It may be necessary to adjust the dosages outlined below to account for your own daily vitamin regimen. All of our supplement recommendations also assume you are eating a healthful diet.

The Dangers of the Southern Pine Beetle
The dry months in the southern United States brings with them one of the most feared species of beetles, the southern pine beetle. These beetles are very invasive and spread from tree to tree. Infestations often lead to tree loss.
What Are Southern Pine Beetles?
A southern pine beetle is about 3/16 of an inch long. While not very big, they can do a lot of damage. These beetles are usually attracted to trees that have been compromised due to drought conditions, tree damage and disease.
The females attack the weakened tree by boring into the tree and laying eggs in the cambium layer. The resulting larvae then live off of the healthy bark tissue. As the adult beetles bore through the tree, they introduce a fungus into the tree that clogs the water transport tubes. When the water supply is interrupted, it can lead to the tree's death.
How Do You Know If Pine Beetles Are in Your Tree?
Within several weeks of infestation, your tree's foliage will turn brown. Look for areas on the tree where "popcorn balls" have formed — these are caused by resin leaking from the tree. Also look for "shot-holes" that indicate that a beetle has bored into a tree.
The beetles move from tree to tree looking for new areas where they can breed. Indicators such as popcorn balls and shot tubes usually begin about three feet off the ground and can be found high up in the tree. To thoroughly examine the tree, you need do more than examine at eye level.
How Do You Get Rid of Them?
Trees can be treated with insecticide. It can be difficult to treat a tree that has southern pine beetles because you have to treat the whole tree using specialized chemicals. Spraying just a portion of the trunk is ineffective. Often, professional equipment like a bucket truck is necessary to spray the uppermost reaches of a tree. It is best to hire a professional tree service to eradicate a beetle infestation. If you have a tree that is heavily infected, it is almost always necessary that you remove the tree. If not, the beetles will spread to healthy surrounding trees.
How Can I Keep Pine Beetles away from My Trees?
Your best protections against southern pine beetles is to make sure that your trees stay hydrated and that any damage or disease that has affected your tree is dealt with. Talk to your neighbors to make sure you're alerted to a possible beetle infestation on their property. You should also warn them if you have a problem so that they can take preventative steps.
If you take the time to examine your trees a few times throughout the year or hire a professional to maintain your trees, you should be able to spot a southern pine beetle infestation and deal with it before you suffer extensive tree loss and damage. Depend on professional advice for the best results and make sure that your trees receive plenty of water.

Twillio, the cloud-based communications upstart led by former Amazon.com employee Jeff Lawson, has inked a partnership that could bring its communications technologies to thousands of developers building technologies through Microsoft's cloud computing platform, Windows Azure. Developers who participate in the program will receive a credit of 1,000 free text messages or inbound voice minutes.
The Twilio API allows developers to create apps with interactive voice response, call automation, mobile app distribution via SMS and other features.
"With Windows Azure, Microsoft is doing the heavy lifting of managing cloud infrastructure so developers can deploy apps that scale flawlessly–precisely what we do at Twilio," said Lawson. "Using our API with applications running on Windows Azure, developers can bring their voice and SMS apps to market and scale their businesses faster than ever–we can't wait to see what developers build with Twilio on Windows Azure."
TechCrunch reports that the deal is intriguing given Microsoft's ownership of Skype, while The Register notes that the new offering will create a "Windows Azure-powered communications hub." Meanwhile, Mary Jo Foley reports that Twilio sealed the deal with Microsoft at the SXSW conference, and notes that Twilio's own back-end infrastructure is still hosted by Amazon Web Services.

It's been a while since I've posted, so here's my link to Friday's show at Empire Room, it was fabulous!
Thank God for Fridays. In the frigid northeast US I was enduring a 6 inch snowfall in sub 20 degree weather so I was soooooo happy to head to the Empire Room…with all those nice snug chairs and little bottles of booze and Gunner's super great music to warm up to! Ok…I layed off the booze until after I danced…I swear….*I had nametags turned off, so if there were replacements in sets, I will fix ASAP*
The inimitable Babypea took to the stage to get all of our guests revved up for an evening of amazement. She came out to the strains of Fiona Apple's "Criminal" and did a split screen set…one where she got in trouble and one where she got out of it…courtesy of getting out of her teensy outfit which was apparently far too restrictive *grins*. Clean up for drool in aisle 5!!

Scientists have developed a light-based measuring technique that could transform our ability to characterize biomolecules.
Using a microscope that detects light scattering rather than fluorescence, the researchers have demonstrated that single molecules can be observed, and their mass measured, in solution, is reported in the journal Science.
'Single molecules have been observed in light microscopes since the late 1980s, but essentially all optical techniques rely on fluorescence, which is the emission of light by a material after being "excited" by the absorption of electromagnetic radiation. As immensely powerful as that is, it is not universal.'
The researchers first demonstrated the use of light scattering to visualize individual proteins - biomolecules only a few nanometres across - in 2014. But it was not until last year that they were able to improve the image quality sufficiently to compete with fluorescence.
The senior author said: 'We then addressed the question of whether we could use our visualization approach to quantify, rather than just detect, single molecules. We realized, given that the volume and optical properties of biomolecules scale directly with mass, that our microscope should be mass sensitive. This turned out indeed to be the case, not only for proteins but also for molecules containing lipids and carbohydrates.'
Using interferometric scattering microscopy to quantify the mass of single biomolecules in solution with 2% sequence mass accuracy, up to 19-kilodalton resolution, and 1-kilodalton precision. We resolved oligomeric distributions at high dynamic range, detected small-molecule binding, and mass-imaged proteins with associated lipids and sugars. These capabilities enabled us to characterize the molecular dynamics of processes as diverse as glycoprotein cross-linking, amyloidogenic protein aggregation, and actin polymerization.
It is this generality that excites the authors. The co-author of the work, said: 'The beauty of mass is that it is both a universal property of matter and extremely diagnostic of the molecule under investigation. Our approach is therefore broadly applicable and, unlike traditional single-molecule microscopy, does not rely on the addition of labels to make molecules visible.'
The researchers say the technique - which they call interferometric scattering mass spectrometry (iSCAMS) - could have applications ranging from studies of protein-protein interactions to drug discovery and even point-of-care diagnostics.
Because essentially every physiological and pathological process is controlled by biomolecular interactions in solution, the researchers say this technology has considerable potential impact. The team is in the process of commercializing the technology to provide access to other researchers who are not experts or may not even use optical microscopy. The researchers say: 'It has the potential, we think, to revolutionise how we study biomolecul es and their interactions.'

Wonderful photos! Love to see Alex with Sarah. When Jessie was transitioning from public to high school, she was very nervous ... But Mommmmm, she said, they don't KNOW I'm FROM Down syndrome! She was used to people and peers who came from different countries, so that was one way she knew how to describe difference/diversity.ReplyDeleteReplies
I love that...what a great way to identify oneselfReplyDelete
Wonderful, Gary! I love seeing how you, as a parent, are learning to let go a little. This early into things myself, I have a hard time forseeing that inevitability.ReplyDeleteReplies
Thanks...yes letting go and not micro-managing are hard for me - with all three of my kids!Delete

TOKYO — Toyota Motor sold a record 9.75 million vehicles last year, the company said Monday, moving past General Motors and Volkswagen to reclaim its title as the world's top-selling automaker in 2012.
G.M., which held the top spot in 2011, sold 9.29 million vehicles last year. It had been the top-selling automaker for decades before losing its lead to Toyota in 2008.
Volkswagen sold 9.1 million vehicles last year, a record for the German automaker, which has expanded its presence in emerging markets. VW also outsold Toyota in 2011.
Toyota estimated last month that it sold 9.7 million vehicles for the year, and final figures released Monday were slightly higher.
By recovering its No. 1 title, Toyota cements a strong comeback from several years of tumbles.
A sharp slowdown in exports during the global economic crisis led to the automaker's biggest loss in decades while controversy over its handling of recalls greatly tarnished its image for quality and reliability.
In 2011, the earthquake and tsunami in Japan, as well as widespread flooding in Thailand later that year, disrupted production, weighing on sales in important markets like the United States and pushing Toyota to No. 3 in global sales.
Toyota recovered in 2012, however, as production rebounded and the automaker went on an offensive to win back market share. Toyota sales in the United States surged 27 percent, to 2.08 million vehicles. In Japan, sales rose 35 percent, to 2.41 million vehicles, helped by government incentives for fuel-efficient cars.
Those increases were enough to offset a decline in sales in China, where Japanese businesses have been hurt by consumer boycotts stemming from a bitter territorial dispute between the two countries. In Europe, sales of Toyota cars rose by 2 percent.

text: World's Biggest Starbucks Is No Longer in Seattle 30K-square-foot behemoth opens in Shanghai By Rob Quinn, Newser Staff Posted Dec 6, 2017 1:06 AM CST 4 comments At 30,000 square feet, the Shanghai Reserve Roastery is the biggest Starbucks in the world. (Starbucks) View 2 more images (Newser) – Shanghai now boasts the biggest Starbucks in the world—an upmarket "Reserve Roastery" that, at 30,000 square feet, is more than 40 times bigger than the average apartment in the city. The establishment is the first Reserve Roastery outside the US, and it's almost twice as big as the previous record holder, a Roastery that opened in Seattle in 2014, CNN reports. China is now Starbucks' second-biggest market, with around 3,000 outlets across the country, about 10% of the world's total. Howard Schultz, the chain's executive chairman, says the new store will blend Starbucks' expertise with China's "rich, diverse culture." The massive new Shanghai Starbucks includes numerous Chinese design touches, including a 90-foot coffee bar designed by a Chinese artist, Quartz reports. Engadget reports that the outlet also has high-tech features including an augmented-reality app that will animate and explain equipment like roasters and casks when smartphones are pointed at them. Starbucks—which opens a new store in China every 15 hours and expects the country to become its biggest market with a decade—plans to expand the Roastery concept to cities including New York and Tokyo, Bloomberg reports. A Roastery set to open in Chicago in 2019 is expected to be even bigger than the Shanghai store. (Read more Starbucks stories.)

!! History Commons Alert, Exciting News
Arianna Huffington. [Source: Boston Globe]Liberal blogger Arianna Huffington slams the perception that New York Times reporter Judith Miller is, in Huffington's words, "a heroic martyr, sacrificing her freedom in the name of journalistic integrity" by going to jail to protect her White House sources in the Plame Wilson leak investigation (see July 6, 2005). Huffington speculates that Miller is herself the source she is trying to protect. It was Miller, Huffington theorizes, who found out from "her friends in the intelligence community" that Plame Wilson was a covert CIA agent, and subsequently told White House official Lewis Libby of Plame Wilson's CIA status. Miller's motivation was to protect her own rapidly deteriorating reputation as a purveyor of manipulated and deceptive information to promote the Iraq invasion (see July 6, 2003 and July 25, 2003). "Maybe Miller tells [White House official Karl] Rove too—or Libby does. The White House hatchet men turn around and tell [reporters Robert] Novak and [Matthew] Cooper. The story gets out. This is why Miller doesn't want to reveal her 'source' at the White House—because she was the source.… This also explains why Miller never wrote a story about Plame, because her goal wasn't to write a story, but to get out the story that cast doubts on Wilson's motives. Which Novak did" (see July 14, 2003). [Huffington Post, 7/27/2005] When Miller learns of Huffington's article, via her lawyer Saul Pilchen, she is horrified. Pilchen, himself taken aback by Huffington's vociferous and unsourced assertions (which Huffington called "a scenario" and not established fact), will later tell reporter Marie Brennan: "It was my first experience with the blog culture. It was astounding to me how little constraint the bloggers had. They were passing off speculation as fact, and it read to me like pure character assassination." Miller considers the Huffington piece certainly mistaken, and possibly libelous. But, as Brennan will later observe, the discussion and debate generated by Huffington and many others in the "blogosphere" make it difficult for fellow journalists to defend Miller. Reporter Lowell Bergman, a Miller defender, will later tell Brennan that it quickly became clear that Huffington's idea of Miller being part of a White House conspiracy "was a fantasy fed by the deep animosity of people toward Judy.… It was a surrogate for what they all wanted to do to the Bush administration."
