Facebook announced their new Android-only app called Home last week to mixed reviews and new challenges. Facebook founder Mark Zuckerberg called it a "family of apps" that push your content directly into a user's face whenever they access their phone. Well, not literally into your face, even though this would be really awesome and sometimes scary, but onto your screen.
As far as great product placements go, I have to stand up and applaud Facebook for knowing exactly where to place their Cover Feed. This feature puts notices on the screen when you "wake up" your phone right before you slide your finger to unlock it. I'm quietly jealous that they received access to a point where every mobile user has to see. Talk about getting eyeballs on your product! With that said, can you imagine all the possibilities?
Over the past couple of years, Facebook has made brands pay for ads in a Google-like system (which makes perfect sense now!), and more recently, for individual promoted posts. If they make the option available for brands to purchase content that will be put onto a mobile user's home screen, where should this rank in the priority list for paid media? Maybe not too high at first given that Home is an Android-only app for now, but as soon as that changes I imagine it would shoot to the top of the list. More users access Facebook through mobile than on desktop so if brands want to achieve their max reach, Home might eventually be the place to do it.
On another note: Put some images on your statuses! Because everyone loves emojis.

In case you haven't already heard, it's that time of the year again. Football season is upon us. Whether you're a die-hard fan of the game or just a gal that loves the social scene there's a high chance that you put some thought into what you wear on gameday. It's time to start rummaging through your plethora of tailgate attire to pick out the perfect outfits for the season. Just make sure to do it right.
It's technically still summer, that means sundresses are a definite go. Make sure to wear them while you still can. In only a few months time it's going to be too chilly in most parts of the country to even consider wearing a sundress.
A great alternative outfit for when sundresses just don't provide the necessary warmth would be a long sleeved dress, a sweater dress, or a cute skirt/top combo. You can pair any of those options with boots or flats. And if it's downright cold, throw on a pair of tights and a scarf to top it off!
Make sure you show your pride with plenty of school colors. If you can't find a dress that has both or all of your school colors, the perfect solution is wearing a school color dress/jersey with plenty of secondary color accessories – jewelry, cross-body, lillybee shoes, whatever!
Whatever you do, make sure you don't show up to the tailgate in the opposing teams colors. Make sure you look up who your school is playing and dress accordingly.
We hope some of these tips will help you when it comes to selecting some of your gameday attire this season. The Lillybee team wishes you and your school the best this football season. We hope you win!

Funky Monkey, Fruit That Crunches are a new 100% real fruit, no sugar added, 100% gluten and fat free, organic, and kosher snack…phew! How is that for a healthy treat?! BUT, do they taste good? That, my dear is the ultimate question. And my answer is YES! We received these to review and the consensus was that the majority of our household loved them!
However, while my son, the pickiest child on the planet, did actually try them (yay!) it seems Funky Monkey didn't hide their natural goodness of being real fruit good enough for this super sleuth. He new right way that while yes it was good, it was the dreaded FRUIT! I swear the kid has something personally against anything that's a fruit or veggie (do you see me rolling my eyes?). I know one day he'll come to me and say, "Mom I want to be a vegetarian" and then I can laugh about how he wouldn't touch anything that was fruit with a ten foot pole when we was younger. But until then, it looks like I am stuck with fruit leathers and smoothies…he likes his smoothies, but check out how he "orders" them… "Mom, I would like a strawberry smoothie with NO strawberries please!" This tells you what I am dealing with. (yes he gets a full on strawberry smoothie w/bananas & blueberries and he is none the wiser that his "strawberry smoothie" does indeed have the "yucky" strawberries in it. What he doesn't know, can't hurt him ;) )
BUT, my lovely (and not yet picky) 19 month old little bambina had no problem gobbling down Funky Monkey snacks. Her favorite was the banana's with cinnamon on them. They are gooood!
A little bit more about Funky Monkey Snacks…
"Funky Monkey Snacks" are freeze dried fruit – all natural, with no added sugar, preservatives, colors or flavors. They are gluten-free, wheat-free and dairy-free. They come in four delicious flavors:
- Bananamon (banana and cinnamon)
- Carnaval Mix (banana, pineapple, apple, papaya and raisins)
- Jivealime (pineapple and lime juice)
- Purple Funk (banana and acai berries)
What I love about Funky Money Snacks…
- They are a super easy, healthy snack for on the go families
- They come in a pouch much like a Capri Sun package with colorful branding which makes kids instantly attracted to them and wanting to try them
- While my house doesn't have any food allergies, these would be great for any family that does (be sure to read all ingredients before you buy or eat them!)
- They are a perfect solution for adding fruit to any lunchbox – with not needing to stay cool and no worry that they will get smooshed
- They are GOOD! They were the perfect nighttime snack for the hubby and me without any guilt
- You get THREE serving of fruit in ONE pouch! Woohoo!

Former champion Agnieszka Radwanska reached the semi-finals of the WTA's Eastbourne International on Thursday with a straightforward 6-2 6-2 defeat of Bulgarian Tsvetana Pironkova.
The 2008 champion from Poland, who went out in the first round on the English south coast in three successive editions from 2012-2014, needed just 65 minutes to advance from four breaks of serve.
Radwanska, seeded ninth, will on Friday face off against Sloane Stephens after the American advanced without hitting a shot when Russian-born Australian Daria Gavrilova had to retire before their quarter-final with an abdominal strain.
Radwanska improved her Eastbourne record to 12-7 as she beat Pironkova for the ninth time in 11 meetings, following up her Nottingham semi-final on grass earlier in June.
While Radwanska wasted no time in advancing on a sunny day at Devonshire Park, it took Swiss teenager Belinda Bencic just under two hours to eliminate the last British challenge of the home week at the pre-Wimbledon preparation event.
The number 31 who played a grass final this month in the Netherlands and lost to Italy's Camila Giorgi, defeated Australian-born Briton Johanna Konta 2-6 6-0 6-3.
The number 146 Konta came in on a wild card and turned in the best week of her career as she won three consecutive matches. The last to do that here was Jo Durie 32 years ago.
Two of Konta's wins came over WTA number four Ekaterina Makarova and number 20 Garbine Muguruza of Spain.
Bencic lost the opening set but changed tactics to get back into the contest.
"It was a very difficult match, she's a good player and really made me work," said the Swiss, advised by the mother of former Swiss prodigy Martin Hingis. "We had some great rallies.
"I didn't play badly in the first set, but I missed on some key points," said Bencic. "In the second and third I played more aggressively and got in more first serves.
"Of course I knew that the crowd was on her side but thanks to the fans who cheered for me. I was fighting on very point."
Bencic survived six aces from Konta and saved 10 of a dozen break points against her serve.
She will next play either second seed and former champion Caroline Wozniacki or German 10th seed Andrea Petkovic.

One of the Internet's fastest-growing social networks is good for more than just casual socializing--strategic use of Twitter can help businesses grow their brand and online presence, turning a steady following into a loyal clientele. Tweets alone won't suffice in these endeavours, however; rather, a well-planned approach, careful monitoring, and thorough research together can push a company in the right direction.
The business benefits of Twitter are many: it's instantaneous, versatile, cost-effective and global in scope. It's a great way to spot trends and competition, and find top influencers who may be willing to help promote your brand--or, at the very least, serve as an example of the do's of the Twitterverse. And ultimately, it can't be beat for networking. But before you embark on a Twitter marketing campaign, consider a few key actions:
Prepare a solid strategy to guide you
To build a customer base, it's necessary to have every step and tactic planned out, to know all about your community, and to participate in the top conversations of the day. This applies both online and offline. Decide what, when and how often to post, and whether to retweet content or make an original tweet.
Build brand awareness and loyalty
Start with word-of-mouth publicity, follow top companies and industry leaders and share your knowledge and expertise. Continue with an active online presence and keep followers and clients alike up-to-date on your company's work.
Remember SEO
Be sure to optimize your Twitter page so it gets picked up by the major search engines. Use the right keywords for your business and industry, and use them often. Keep your tweets between 120-130 characters, and make them compelling.
Monitor your progress
Use the right tools to measure the reach, influence and value of your Twitter presence and brand. Save time and resources by using such social media platforms as HootSuite, TweetDeck and Help Desk Software.
Engage with your clients
Nurture relationships on a small scale for profit on a large scale. Join conversations and start your own. Respond to and retweet posts about your business and your brand. Be honest and open. Good dialogues can quickly turn into actions.
Be human
See Twitter as more than a means of squeezing out dollars from clients. Share the human side of your company by tweeting about universal experiences and injecting light humour into your posts once in a while.
Reward loyalty
Find a way to reward loyal customers and followers who tweet positive messages about your business. Offer incentives and tangible products for good publicity and press from tweeters.
You have just a bit more than a split-second to make a good--or great--impression. Make it with Twitter. Work in concert with your online community to create engaging conversations and spur action. Tweet, and watch your business grow.

Spotlight: NovaWurks
May 26, 2014
SAN FRANCISCO — When the U.S. Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency revealed plans in 2011 for the Phoenix program, an effort to send robots into geosynchronous orbit to collect valuable parts from defunct spacecraft, Talbot Jaeger realized the multipurpose spacecraft modules he already was designing could be used to reuse the scavenged parts.
"Space is a junkyard full of items that people spent billions of dollars building and launching," said Jaeger, NovaWurks founder and chief technologist. "We could use cellular architecture technology to put those valuable parts back into service for a fraction of that."
Jaeger, who has degrees in biological sciences and electrical engineering, drew much of his inspiration from natural systems for NovaWurks' small, modular spacecraft, known as Hyper-Integrated Satlets. Each box-shaped satlet, which measures 20 centimeters by 20 centimeters by 10 centimeters and weighs approximately 6 kilograms, will provide all components of a spacecraft bus, including propulsion, power, communications, metrology, pointing, information processing and data storage, Jaeger said.
NovaWurks' satlets are designed to function like embryonic stem cells with hardware and software linked so closely they act like a single biological system. The satlets also are designed to adapt to their environment.
"As soon as you put satlets in the configuration, they become the motors, the power supply, the propulsion systems and the communications," Jaeger said. "They grow into what they need to be. So it's a very simple process to assemble a spacecraft."
DARPA awarded NovaWurks a $2.9 million Phoenix contract in 2012 to prove the feasibility of its Hyper-Integrated Satlets. In October 2013, the agency awarded NovaWurks a $30.8 million contract, which includes options worth an additional $11.8 million, for the development, delivery and operation of satlets in an initial on-orbit demonstration.
Even as DARPA and U.S. military officials contemplate the future direction of the Phoenix program, DARPA officials see a role for satlets.
"As part of the risk reduction activities going forward for the Phoenix project through 2015, DARPA is planning on a flight experiment to validate the satlet concept in low Earth orbit," said David Barnhart, DARPA's Phoenix program manager. "This experiment would allow the concept of cellularized, pre-aggregated satlets to go through a series of tests to validate attitude control, power control, processing system and telemetry system handoff and thermal management on orbit."
NovaWurks also worked with DARPA on Space Enabled Effects for Military Engagements (SeeMe), a project designed to use a constellation of approximately two dozen small satellites in very low Earth orbit to provide U.S. military forces with speedy access to mission planning imagery. In 2013, DARPA awarded NovaWurks slightly more than $2 million to begin designing small, low-cost satellites that could be launched from aircraft and, once in orbit, deliver space-based imagery directly to soldiers' handheld devices.
Although DARPA did not continue SeeMe as a standalone program, some of the technology and small-satellite capabilities studied "have been transitioned to various elements within the U.S. military for further investment and validation," Barnhart said by email. In addition, some technical elements of SeeMe have been folded into the Phoenix low Earth orbit satlet experiment as sample payloads, he said.
NovaWurks' satlets are far different from the spacecraft Jaeger helped develop during a 30-year career in the aerospace industry with TRW Inc. and Northrop Grumman Corp., including: U.S. Air Force Defense Support Program reconnaissance satellites; Spacelab, NASA's reusable space shuttle laboratory; and Mayflower, a commercial cubesat technology demonstration launched in 2010. After observing the way NASA, commercial and military space programs were conducted, Jaeger established NovaWurks in January 2012 to test his ideas for reducing the cost, complexity and time needed to send payloads into orbit.

This invention relates to a solder-bearing terminal pin or lead for attachment to a substrate, either in a receptacle on the substrate or on its surface, wherein a discrete mass of solder is mechanically held by the terminal in position to be melted for connecting the terminal to the substrate with both an electrical and mechanical bond. It is illustrated as a terminal pin or a surface-mounted terminal lead.
The terminal is of a type which is capable of being continuously stamped from a thin sheet of metal at high speed, and because each terminal mechanically holds its own discrete mass of solder, the terminals may be produced individually or, preferably, attached to a common carrier strip for automated, machine insertion into the receptacle in the substrate or for application to the surface of the substrate.
Various means have been provided wherein a quantity of solder is associated with a terminal pin so that when the terminal is inserted into a receptacle in a substrate (usually a hole drilled through the substrate with a metal surface plated on its interior and on the surface of the substrate around the periphery of the hole) or is juxtaposed to a conductive surface area of the substrate, and the assembly is heated, the molten solder covers the adjacent surfaces of the terminal and substrate to form, when cool, a soldered metallurgical joint between the terminal and substrate.
In the prior art individual terminal pins were pressed into the receptacle in the substrate and soldering was accomplished by either passing the entire substrate over a solder wave machine or by applying solder to each individual terminal pin using a conventional soldering iron and wire solder.
An alternative method used in the prior art has associated the solder with each terminal pin by means of a metallurgical bond between the solder and the pin wherein the solder was positioned in a location which was away from the receptacle or conductive area in the substrate. This method suffered from poor solder bond because the molten solder was required to migrate, such as down the terminal pin, before it could reach the junction between the terminal and the receptacle which was to be soldered.
The present invention provides a means for securely holding a discrete mass of solder adjacent to a terminal by means of mechanical attachment. At least one finger from the terminal wraps securely around the mass of solder holding it firmly in position, and in the preferred method of manufacture, stamping, the finger is wrapped so securely that it indents slightly into the surface of the softer solder mass thereby making it impossible for the solder to become detached during handling prior to the application of heat and the completion of the soldering operation.
It is an object of the present invention to provide means for attaching securely a discrete solder mass to a terminal in a purely mechanical manner.
It is a further object of the invention to provide a solder bearing terminal wherein each terminal has its own supply of solder in a convenient location for melting to form bonds with a receptacle or conductive area.
It is another object of the invention to provide a solder and terminal assembly which can be made by very simple and efficient stamping steps.
It is yet another object of the invention to provide a solder and terminal lead assembly capable of effective soldering to a conductive area on the surface of a substrate whereby the assembly may serve as a terminal lead for a surface-mounted circuit component.
It is a still further object of &:he invention to provide certain improvements in the form, construction and arrangement of the parts whereby the above-named and other objects may effectively be attained.
The invention accordingly comprises an article of manufacture possessing the features, properties, and the relation of elements which will be exemplified in the article hereinafter described, and the scope of the invention will be indicated in the claims.
Practical embodiments of the invention are shown in the accompanying drawings wherein;
FIG. 1 represents the front elevational view of two terminal pins according to the invention attached to a common carrier strip;
FIG. 2 represents a side view of the terminals shown in FIG. 1;
FIG. 3 represents a partial front elevational view of the terminal according to FIG. 1 inserted into a receptacle (shown in section) prior to the application of heat;
FIG. 4 shows the same partial front elevational view as FIG. 3 after sufficient heat has been applied to cause the solder to flow and form a metallurgical joint;
FIG. 5 represents a partial front elevational view of a first modified form of the terminal shown in FIG. 3;
FIG. 6 represents a partial front elevational view of a second modified form of the terminal shown in FIG. 1, the section of the receptacle being omitted;
FIG. 7 represents a partial side view of the modified form of terminal shown in FIG. 6;
FIG. 8 represents the front elevational view of two terminal pins of a third modified form attached to two common carrier strips;
FIG. 9 represents a side view of the terminals shown in FIG. 8;
FIG. 10 is a fragmentary plan view of a portion of a blank adapted to be formed into another modified form of the invention, particularly suitable for soldering to the surface of a printed circuit board or the like substrate, such as for assembling a surface-mounted component to the substrate;
FIG. 11 is a side elevational view partly in cross-section of a terminal formed from the blank of FIG. 10;
FIG. 12 is a front plan view of the terminal of FIG. 11;
FIG. 13 is a side elevation view showing the device of FIGS. 11 and 12 used as solderable terminal leads for a surface-mounted circuit component;
FIG. 14 is a fragmentary plan vie of an alternate form of the blank of FIG. 10;
FIG. 15 is a side elevation view of a terminal formed from the blank of FIG. 14;
FIG. 16 is a front elevation view of the terminal of FIG. 16; and
FIGS. 17 and 18 are side elevation and front elevation views of yet another modification of the terminal of the invention.
Referring to the drawings, FIG. 1 shows two individual solder bearing terminal pins 10 connected to a common carrier strip 11. The carrier strip may be provided with pilot holes 12 at regular intervals, as is customary, and the terminal pins may be connected to the carrier strip Via notched breakaway sections 13 for removal of the carrier strip after the terminal pins have been placed or soldered into position. Each terminal pin includes an upper body portion 14, and a lower body portion 15, two fingers 16, a discrete solder mass 17, and upper contact arm 18, and a lower contact arm 19.
The carrier strip 11 can be any length desired, carrying a great number of terminal pins. The terminal pins and carrier strip are preferably made by continuously stamping them from a thin sheet of metal, and during the stamping operation, the fingers 16 are bent out of the plane of the body of the terminal pin and are wrapped at least partially around the discrete mass of solder 17. During the stamping operation, the fingers are preferably stamped to a thickness which is less than that of the body of the terminal pin. This allows the fingers 16 to be wrapped more readily around the discrete mass of solder 17. During the stamping operation, when the free ends of the fingers 16 are wrapped around the softer metal of the solder, the wrapping can be done with sufficient force to indent the fingers into the surface of the solder to provide a firm mechanical attachment between the solder and the terminal pin which prevents the solder from becoming dislodged during shipping and handling, prior to the completion of the soldering operation.
Referring to FIG. 2, which is a side view of FIG. 1, it can be seen that the fingers 16 are of a thickness which is less than the thickness of the body of the terminal pin. The thickness of the body portions 14 and 15 are, for convenience, usually but not necessarily, chosen to be of the same thickness as that of the upper and lower contact arms 18 and 19, respectively. This thickness may be adjusted during the stamping operation.
In use, the contact arms may be soldered to an adjacent printed circuit board, may have wires or other electrical components soldered to them, may serve as pin or blade connectors for an electrical plug, may serve as leads connecting to sockets or other circuit components, may have a wire or wires conventionally wire-wrapped onto them, may function as spring contacts, or may have other electrical and mechanical connections where appropriate. The fingers 16 are preferably stamped from the same thin sheet material as the remainder of the pin, and the thickness of the fingers is reduced during the stamping operation, allowing them to be more easily formed into the appropriate shape.
Upper contact arm 18 may be of any suitable shape. If required, it may have a square cross-section suitable for a wire wrapped connection, or a round cross-section for a solder connection, and it may be straight or bent out of the plane of the terminal pin as indicated in the dashed lines 26 of FIG. 2 to form a spring-like side contact arm. Lower contact arm 19 preferably is of a size such as to permit it to pass through the receptacle in a substrate, which requires that its largest cross-sectional dimension be no larger than the largest cross-section dimension of the lower body portion 15. Lower contact arm 19 may be eliminated entirely where desired, as may upper contact arm 18. In the latter case, carrier strip 11 would be attached directly to the upper body portion 14.
FIG. 1 illustrates the terminal pins connected to a carrier strip 11. While this is the preferred embodiment suitable for automated machine insertion into the substrate, it is also possible, due to the fact that each individual pin is firmly attached to its own solder mass, to use the pins individually as might be desired by the user of small quantities of pins. It is also possible to remove individual or groups of pins from the carrier strip without disturbing the remainder of the pins, which allows a customized array of pins to be inserted as a unit into a corresponding array of receptacles in a substrate.
FIG. 3 shows a detailed front view of the terminal pin in FIG. 1 inserted into a receptacle 20 in a substrate 21 which has been coated with a conductive contact material 22 in the vicinity of the receptacle and on its interior surface. It can be seen that the lower body portion 15 has been sized to closely fit the receptacle in the substrate, which provides a good electrical contact after the portion 15 is joined to the conductive material 22 by soldering. The receptacle in FIG. 3 consists of a hole drilled through the substrate 21 and plated through with a conductive material 22.
FIG. 3 (taken with FIG. 2) also illustrates how the fingers 16 hold the solder in close proximity or juxtaposition to the lower body portion 15 and to the upper surface of the receptacle 20 prior to the application of heat and the completion of the soldering operation.
FIG. 4 is a detailed view of the metallurgical joint formed between the terminal pin and the receptacle in the substrate after the pin and substrate have been heated sufficiently to melt the solder. It can be seen that the solder flows completely around the lower body portion 15, bonding both the upper and the lower surface portions of the contact material on the substrate, the interior of the receptacle, and the fingers 16 to the terminal pin.
FIG. 5 shows a modified form of the terminal pin wherein a longitudinal slot 23 has been cut through the lower body portion 15. The longitudinal slot 23 and lower body portion 15 are correctly sized with respect to the thickness of the substrate 21 and the diameter of the receptacle 20 so that the lower body portion is slightly over-sized with respect to the receptacle 20 prior to insertion, and a tight compressive fit is achieved after insertion. A pin which produces such a tight compressive fit is commonly known as a compliant pin. A compliant pin produces a temporary bond between the terminal pin and the receptacle which allows additional handling of the electrical assembly such as the insertion of other electrical components or their testing prior to soldering, without fear that the previously inserted terminal pins will become dislodged during the additional handling. The use of a longitudinal slot 23 to produce a compliant pin has an additional advantage of allowing the use of individual pins, not attached to a carrier strip, which are extremely susceptible to dislodgement when disconnected from their carrier strip. A further advantage associated with the use of longitudinal slot 23 to provide a compliant pin is that the slot forms a flow channel for the molten solder to reach the underside of the substrate 21. This is especially important where the cross-sectional shapes of the lower body portion 15 and the receptacle 20 are approximately identical, in which case the solder is prevented in the absence of a longitudinal slot 23 from reaching the lower surface. Longitudinal slot 23 also provides additional surface area to allow for a better mechanical and electrical bond between the lower body portion 15 and the receptacle 20.
Referring to FIG. 6 a second modified form of the terminal pin is shown as having a single central finger 24 formed from a U-shaped longitudinal cut 25 along the axis of the body. The U-shaped longitudinal cut 25 can be extended down the axis of the lower body portion 15 to perform the same function as longitudinal slot 23 to provide a compliant pin.
FIG. 7 is a side view of the second modified form shown in FIG. 6. It can be seen in both FIGS. 2 and 7 that the engaging fingers 16 and 24 wrap partially around the mass of solder 17 holding it in the gap formed between the finger or fingers and the body of the terminal pin. The fingers can wrap partially or completely around the solder mass as desired, and the solder mass may be of any suitable shape. It is of particular value that the solder mass 17 have substantially fully open access to the substrate 20, through the opening between finger 24 or fingers 16 and body portion 15, with the solder mass 17 in close proximity to or touching the conductive area of the substrate to which a soldered joint is desired. This improves the reliability of the soldering operation and of the resulting soldered joint. It is also valuable to have the finger indent into the surface of the softer solder mass, particularly, when only a single finger is used for attachment, to prevent the solder from becoming disengaged from the terminal pin prior to the application of heat.
FIG. 8 is a front elevational view of two terminal pins of a third modified form connected to two common carrier strips, an upper carrier strip 27 and a lower carrier strip 28, both of which are provided with the customary pilot holes 12. In this modified form the upper contact arm 29 is a cantilever spring blade contact with a central longitudinal slot 30 which provides additional spring action for the upper contact arm 29. The two common carrier strips 27 and 28, provide additional rigidity for the attached terminal pins, which keeps them in accurate alignment during shipping and handling prior to their insertion into the receptacle.
FIG. 9 is a side view of the third modified form shown in FIG. 8. It can be seen in this view that the upper contact arm 29 has been stamped to a thickness which is less than that of the body of the terminal pin, which provides additional spring action. An upper break-away notch 31 and lower breakaway notch 32 can also be clearly seen in this figure.
Although FIG. 8 has been drawn with two fingers 16, it is apparent that it can be constructed with a single central finger 24 as shown in FIGS. 6 and 7. It also can be constructed with or without a central longitudinal slot 30 or a longitudinal slot 23 as desired. Furthermore, a lower carrier strip 28 may be used in conjunction with any of the terminal pins shown and where such a lower carrier strip is used, the upper carrier strip is optional. Each terminal can also be made by simple stamping and assembling steps, with minimal waste of material.
FIGS. 10-13 show a modified form of terminal intended particularly for use in surface mounting of a circuit component on a substrate, such as a printed circuit board. FIG. 10 shows a blank 40 for such a terminal which has a flat elongated body portion 41, of any desired length, and may be connected directly or through an arm (like 18 of FIG. 1) to a carrier strip like 11 of FIG. 1. Body portion 41 is slit at 42 and at 43, to form a body portion extension 44 of reduced width, which is integral with a carrier strip similar to carrier strip 11 shown in FIG. 1 or may be joined to it by a connecting arm 46. Body portion extension 44 is preferably joined to arm 46 by a breakaway portion 47. It will be understood that body portion 41 may at its left end have any suitable conformation for being joined to electrical circuit components or wires or connectors or other conductors.
The slits 42 and 43 form a pair of side fingers 52 and 53 which are bent away from the body portion 41 and then bent reflexively back, to form a partially enclosed space between body extension 44 and fingers 52, 53, the space having an open end generally facing in the same direction as the length of the body portion 41 and its extension 44. The slits 52, 53 are wrapped around a solder mass or slug 54 similar to solder mass 17 of the previous figures. As seen in FIGS. 11 and 12 the end of body extension 44, after forming and after arm 46 has been broken away is essentially coterminous with the ends of fingers 52, 53 and coplanar with them in a plane generally perpendicular to body portion 41. It will be seen that the arrangement of fingers 44, 52 and 53 leaves an unobstructed opening on the under side as seen in FIGS. 11 and 12, through which solder may flow freely when melted. Accordingly, as seen in FIG. 13, this arrangement is particularly adapted to serve as a terminal joining an electrical component 51 to conductive areas 56 (sometimes called contact pads) on a substrate 57.
In use, the assembly of FIG. 13 formed of electrical component 51 and terminals 58 and 59, having the structure shown in FIGS. 11 and 12, may simply be placed on the substrate 57 with each solder mass 54 close to or in contact with a respective contact pad 56 of substrate 57. Then upon applying heat, the solder will melt and flow freely around the ends of fingers 52, 53 and body extension 44, in contact with pad 56, so that upon recooling the solder will effectively join the body extension 44 and fingers 52, 53 to the contact pad 56 in each instance.
While the solder mass 54 is illustrated as extending outwardly slightly beyond the edges of the body extension 44, and fingers 52, 53 it may be flush with those fingers or even slightly recessed.
This arrangement has the advantage that there is no obstacle to the free flow of solder from the terminal to the contact pad 56 so that a more reliable mechanical and electrical connection is made, without need to rely upon capillarity or similar phenomena for assuring access of the solder to all areas to be soldered.
It will be understood that instead of the central body extension 44 being coplanar with the terminal body 41 as in FIGS. 11 and 12, with the fingers 52 and 53 curved around the solder mass, these may be interchanged as shown in FIGS. 14-16, where the side fingers 62 and 63 are coplanar with the body 61, while the central finger 64 curves around the solder mass 66 to retain it in the terminal assembly. In this case the side fingers 62, 63 form extensions of the main body portion 61, and may be joined to a connecting arm 69 leading to a carrier strip for the series of terminals, break notches are formed at 67 to permit separating the arm 69 and carrier strip.
While in the foregoing figures, the solder-access opening is shown generally in a plane perpendicular to the terminal body portion, and facing along the length of the body portion, in a modified form the body portion may extend generally in the direction of the plane of the opening. This is illustrated in FIGS. 17-18. In this form the body portion 72 extends generally parallel to the mating substrate 57, and may have a portion 71 bent upward at right angles to portion 72, or an extension 73 (shown in dotted lines) in the direction of portion 72. In this instance, the entire end of the body portion 72 may be bent around the solder mass 76, as shown at 94. The end of the curved portion 74 may dig into the solder mass, or may be wrapped more than 180 degrees about the solder mass 76, to retain the solder mass in place. Again, the solder is provided with an unobstructed flow opening juxtaposed to the contact pad 56 on the substrate 57.
The arrangements shown in FIGS. 10-18 provide a particularly useful arrangement for surface-mounting circuit elements on a substrate, in lieu of mounting them in receptacles or holes in the substrate as in the case of FIGS. 1-9.
In each of the terminals described above, the mass of solder is in mechanical engagement with the terminal fingers or body in position to be melted for the ready formation of a bond between the terminal fingers, the terminal body and the receptacle in or contact area on the substrate. The solder mass may, if desired, have a cross section of circular, square or other geometrical form, or be made from spherical pellets. In each instance, the terminals may be joined to one or both carrier strips, for simultaneous multiple applications, or may be formed individually. They may particularly be fabricated by automated progressive-stage stamping, from a roll of conductive and suitably resilient strip material, to form a roll of formed terminals for easy applications.
It will thus be seen that the objects set forth above, among those made apparent from the preceding description, are efficiently attained and, since certain changes may be made in the above article without departing from the spirit and scope of the invention, it is intended that all matter contained in the above description and shown in the accompanying drawings shall be interpreted as illustrative and not in a limiting sense.

Did Jack find Bod at the end?
- print Print
- list Cite
Yes. Jack disguised himself as an "innocent" old man, who was called Mr. Frost. Jack Frost does find Bod, with the help of Bod's old childhood friend, Scarlett. Although, with the help of the inhabitants of the graveyard, Bod was able to trick Jack into going inside "The tomb of the Indigo Man" where Bod said that he was the master of the sleers and a creature appeared with 3 heads of a human being with a body of a long snake. This creature then ended killing Jack when he threatened the Sleer's master (Bod) because "WE WILL PROTECT HIM UNTIL THE END OF TIME. THE SLEER WILL HOLD HIM IN ITS COILS FOREVER AND NEVER LET HIM ENDURE THE DANGERS OF THE WORLD."
Well towards the end he does, but jack outsmart Jack into saying he is the Sleers master and he dies.

It's Quiet . . .
Chapter Eighty-Six
Sumiko entered the rather lavish looking room and looked around at the beautiful furnishings.
They'd had nothing like any of this back home on the island. Was this the sort of life her parents had left behind when they left Konohagakure?
No wonder they wanted to come back so badly.
Syako was forced to wait outside and the door was slammed shut behind Sumiko.
She felt nervous, but curious as well. She explored her surroundings a bit, not moving from the spot she stood but letting her eyes take in the details of the room.
The room was not very well lit, but Sumiko could see it was filled with gold ornaments and violet curtains hung from the walls and over doorways. There was a grand seat, perhaps a throne though Sumiko didn't now why one would keep a throne in their living quarters and assumed it must simply appear to be one because of its beauty which, like most of the things in the room, was extraordinary.
And yet cold. She thought.
The room seemed empty and when she heard a voice she jumped in surprise while simultaneously feeling relived not to be alone.
It was a feminine voice, though Sumiko wasn't willing to commit to any gender assumptions until she saw the person.
"Come here, little one. We're on the balcony." The voice said.
Sumiko entered onto the balcony and felt relief flood through her as she saw a pair of Konoha ninja.
One of them was aunty Ino.
She rushed over and hugged Ino, who hugged her back and said, "I didn't think I'd see you here, Sumi-chan. Don't worry, your ordeal is as good as over."
Sumiko looked at the other woman, she had eyes that seemed familiar and her chest was impressive leaving Sumiko absolutely ninety percent certain that she was a woman, but she was someone Sumiko didn't know.
"Who?" Sumiko asked her with a raised eyebrow.
The woman smiled, "I'm Mitarashi Anko, I'm Kotaro-kun's mother . . . I'm sorry he brought you here, but he did it to keep them from hurting me. He's really a very nice boy."
Sumiko nodded, if aunty Ino was friends with her than Mitarashi Anko must be a friendly person and Sumiko would accept that. Now came the part where she had to wonder if this were a rescue operation-no, because Anko had been in danger so Kotaro had had to kidnap her and the others to keep her safe.
That meant Ino must have been captured, but she said the ordeal was as good as over, did she know something?
Ino wasn't stingy with her information, she said, "Your father and the others are nearby, Sumiko. They're going to attack soon and rescue us all. You don't have to worry anymore."
Sumiko nodded but said nothing.
The three of them left the balcony and went into the living space of the lavish apartment.
"Lovely, isn't it?" Ino sighed, "so much nicer than anything we had on the island."
Sumiko nodded yet again, but wondered why aunty Ino was stating the obvious. Maybe she was telling Anko? Seemed funny not to tell Anko sooner if it was worth saying at all.
"Imagine living every day in this kind of place." Anko said, nodding in agreement with Ino. "Would you like that, Sumiko-chan?"
Sumiko nodded again, but didn't see what relevance this had with anything.
"They'll rescue us soon." Ino said assured her.
"Yes . . . in the meantime," Anko said, "Sumiko-chan, why don't you relax here with us? Obviously they want to keep all the important prisoners together. Maybe they plan to use you as a hostage the same way they use me."
Sumiko shrugged. That made sense, but her father would rescue her, just like aunty Ino said.
Though . . . there was something strange about Ino . . . something unfamiliar.
Sumiko cocked her head to the side and examined her honorary aunt . . .
It was really her, Sumiko was sure of that . . . it felt like aunty Ino . . . but it didn't.
It was strange.
And the other woman, Anko . . . she felt familiar too . . .
Sumiko had been relieved to see Ino, but . . . now that her mind was working again she began to question the situation.
Balcony. Sumiko realized.
There was an open balcony . . .
But there had to be guards, or aunty Ino would have already tried to get out that way.
Or the balcony was as Genjutsu . . .
Perhaps their surroundings were nothing but Genjutsu . . . after all, why give prisoners such a lavish room?
Even if every room in this palace were so luxurious-and they weren't, the room Sumiko had arrived in hadn't been-why keep prisoners in such a beautiful place?
Is it so we won't try to escape? No, that's stupid, Sumiko thought; even in a paradise a prisoner is a prisoner and has to try to escape.
Her mother had told her that once when Sumiko asked her why they didn't just stay on the island.
She felt a little sad thinking of her mother, and hoped she was nearby . . . she knew her father must be close if Ino was here.
"You know . . ." Ino whispered, "if we could make it to the Control Chamber . . . I'll bet I could take control of those monsters out there."
"Monsters?" Sumiko asked, surprised. There were monsters outside? Why hadn't anyone told her?
Wait . . . monsters were real? Why had her parents lied to her? She knew there was something in her closet.
"The city is swarming with monsters, the sad victims of experiments that these people have been performing for the last four years." Anko said in a sad voice. "All the time your father spent in hiding gave these terrible people more and more time to turn more and more people into monsters, little one. There are thousands, and those are just the ones that survived. Only one in ten people survives the process, tens maybe even hundreds of thousands of people were worked on while your father hid away."
Sumiko tensed. Aunty Ino wasn't arguing, why wasn't she arguing?
Instead Ino said, "They used members of the Yamanaka clan to control them, Mitarashi-senpai . . . if you can get me to that control room we can take control of the horde, make them help the Konoha-shinobi."
"Impossible." Anko said with a gasp, "Are you sure you could do it?"
"I can try." Ino said then she hesitated, "but . . . I don't know if I could direct so many monsters . . . I'm not a strategist like Shikamaru . . . and the city is full of almost two hundred enemy Shinobi . . . maybe if another person were with me . . . someone with a sharp mind . . ."
Sumiko's eyes lit up.
I can do that, she thought, I can help Aunty Ino use the monsters to destroy all the ninja in the city and help daddy to rescue me!
All she said was, "Me!"
Anko seemed to consider for a moment, then nodded, "I like the idea . . . the daughter of Shikamaru must be almost as smart as he is, but "almost" isn't good enough. Orochimaru is just as smart as Shikamaru, so you'd have to be even smarter than your father. Can you do that? Can you outsmart someone who is just as smart as your father?"
Sumiko hesitated.
She had won games against her father . . . and if what Aunty Ino said was true then she'd have about ten times as many pieces as this Orochimaru did . . .
Sumiko nodded and said, "I'll win."
Anko smiled at Ino and said, "Then let's get you two to that control room."
Orochimaru had to admit that he wasn't sure just how useful Sumiko would be in actually outfoxing her own father.
But the idea of letting Shikamaru's own daughter take co-control of a monster horde and try her very best to slaughter the Konoha attack force thinking she was in some way helping her own father to rescue her . . . well that was just too delicious to refuse.
He watched Okatsu carefully as they went about pretending to escape from his quarters.
He did pity the unfortunate guards posted outside, but they were a necessary sacrifice.
Sumiko-chan had to believe this was genuine.
Okatsu was a surprisingly devious mind. Perhaps being shuffled loose from her own body had removed some of her unfortunate tendencies . . . in any event she'd been right that appearing as Kotaro's mother would help in making Sumiko cooperate, and ultimately though Orochimaru had planned to use her as a hostage against Shikamaru if the girl actually proved to be an asset . . .
Okatsu had said that Ino believed the girl's mind worked a mile a minute, so fast that regular speech wasn't just something she didn't do, but something she almost couldn't do.
A mind like that guided by a Yamanaka's abilities could make an incredibly powerful Controller.
Despite the darkness Shikamaru could see the high walls surrounding the palace in greater detail as they came nearer.
There were barely any guards, which would make things easier.
"It looks like soldiers on the palace walls," Shikamaru shouted to his squads, "take them all out quietly, with any luck we won't get noticed by any that might be in the courtyards. Sensors be on the lookout for any of the Five and make sure nothing else gets out of these walls."
The shinobi forces came nearer and Shikamaru began surveying the building.
"Inoichi," he whispered, "can you navigate inside that castle?"
"I lived there as a glorified prisoner, but I saw it all through the eyes of the Five. I can get you anywhere they were allowed." Ino's father said.
"What about the monsters from the labyrinth?" Shikamaru asked.
"They weren't really my concern, but I did occasionally oversee them. Mostly Kabuto used chemicals to control them, along with sever conditioning. For some of them he would layer subliminal commands, but for the most part-"
Shikamaru interrupted the older shinobi, saying, "All I need to know is if you can take control of the horde."
Inoichi hesitated, and then said, "It'd be hard . . . but I think I could do it. I wouldn't be able to outright control them though, only suggest really strongly that they do what we want, and with the slaughter they're already inflicting they might be too deep into bloodlust to be stopped."
Confusion so our shinobi can better handle them would be fine," Shikamaru admitted, glad he'd asked Inoichi instead of just assuming he could use Orochimaru's own forces against him.
His determination to rescue Sumiko couldn't get the better of him, he had to remain calm.
But this wasn't just about rescuing a city anymore. This was his daughter, his first born child, and damn it all but that mattered more to him than Otogakure and everyone else in it.
They reached the houses nearest the walls and found a spot where they could make a clean jump from the eerily empty houses to the palace walls.
Shikamaru went first, quickly using shadow tendrils to grasp the two nearest guards and force them to quietly thrust their swords into each other's necks.
He signaled for others to come, and silently the shinobi teams made their way down the walls, murdering the armored soldiers of the Sound Shogunate.
It would have been impossible if the wall were fully manned, but it wasn't and Shikamaru didn't for a moment suppose that it was a blessing that his enemy was simply that incompetent.
He smelled a trap, but the sensors had yet to signal the approach or even presence of an enemy shinobi, let alone one of the Five.
A careful glance over the wall into the courtyard bellow showed him that the enemy had a number of guards patrolling but that they were actually moving inside the castle in squads.
Shikamaru let his mind work on that for a moment before Naomasa came to him and said, "This section of the wall is clear, Sensei. Do we clear the rest of the wall?"
"The rest of the squads will, but we won't. Hibari," Shikamaru told a shinobi from Konohamaru's generation, "watch these walls and make sure no other monsters get out, intercept any Shinobi that try to cause trouble for our friends in the city. When our allies arrive tell Naruto-sensei to hit the place as hard as he can with everything he has left."
The young woman nodded and rushed off, Shikamaru turned to his immediate squad and said, "Daisuke, Inoichi, get yourselves into a pair of uniforms and watch for the changing of the guard. When the next watch comes let me know. Naomasa, you stay with me and be ready."
The Shinobi went about following Shikamaru's orders and he stared at the courtyard quietly as he quickly threw the robe and armor of one of the fallen soldiers over his own clothes.
Once Nao had done the same he glanced over the wall and whispered, "What do we do when the next watch comes?"
"It depends on how soon they arrive," Shikamaru said. "I'm hoping we can just walk right into the palace in these disguises, but if they take too long we'll have to find another way inside. For now just sit tight. Once we're inside the other squads will guard the north, east, west and south and Hibari's unit will guard the gates. With any luck we'll get to the control room and give Naruto the last form of support he'd ever expect and shove the Emperor's own twisted scheme down his own throat. "
Nao hesitated for a moment, then said, "Even if we win . . . this whole part of the city is dead. If we hadn't come-"
"Now's not the time to think about that." Shikamaru said, and then added for the boy's peace of mind, "most of them probably ran."
"But with the shinobi fighting from earlier . . ." Nao whispered, "a lot of them would have just dug in and waited for the Emperor's soldiers to protect them. How could he do this to his own subjects?"
"To force us to act too soon." Shikamaru said calmly. "Unfortunately he did the one thing we couldn't ignore, we've been playing the game his way since we arrived, which is why it's about time we stole the initiative."
"Guess we shouldn't have gotten here early." Nao said. "Strange as it might sound, if we'd arrived tomorrow instead there might not have been-"
"But we didn't." Shikamaru interrupted. "You're a Jounin, now, Naomasa. You know better than to harp on 'what if' scenarios. Just focus on getting Inoichi to the control room, and no matter who gets in your way I expect you to perform the duty of a Jounin, Ishida Naomasa."
"I understand." Naomasa said, but Shikamaru wasn't about to take the chance that Naomasa was just saying the words.
"I need to be sure that you do, Ishida." Shikamaru said firmly, "Any other time your compassion might be admirable but tonight it's a part of you that you'll need to leave behind. Right now my daughter is in that place and as much as I want to rescue her I know we need to win this battle or we'll lose this war. That means a lot of people are going to have to die, Naomasa, or even more will in the long run."
"I understand." Naomasa repeated, and there was a definite edge entering his voice now.
Shikamaru decided to press home the point, adding, "Hijiri's daughter is in there too, don't forget. Or does that not matter to you?"
"It matters." Naomasa said, a harsh, angry light entering his eyes as he glared at Shikamaru.
"Then remember it." Shikamaru said, meeting his glare with one of his own, "And remember this too, Nao; when the civilians outside these walls were beset by monsters, when their screams carried over these walls every last soldier in that courtyard stood there and did nothing."
Nao's expression was dangerous, and Shikamaru hoped he hadn't pushed the boy to the point of recklessness.
Naomasa turned his gaze back to the courtyard and said, "I know you're concerned for your daughter. But I also know what has to be done, and I told you I'd do it. Don't question me again."
"I needed to be sure, don't look for criticism where there's only concern." Shikamaru warned him.
Naomasa didn't answer at first; he just took a fallen katana from one of the dead guards.
At length he whispered, "I shouldn't have to show you or anyone else my worth. I've bled for Konoha and for you long enough. I know the value of life, that doesn't make me a pacifist or a coward, Nara. So when I say 'don't question me again' I'm not asking as your subordinate, or your student, I'm telling you, as a soldier who has fought the same battles as you and bled just as you have, as a man whose entire family was held in there, whose sister was cut into and experimented on, I am telling you that I know what has to be done, and I will do it. If you don't know me well enough to know that-"
Shikamaru put a firm hand on Naomasa's shoulder and hissed, "I'm not going to salve your ego, Ishida. I told you not to look for criticism where there's only concern. Not all of those of us who go into that palace are coming out again, and if you hesitate at all you're going to be a name on a monument of heroes. You've fought, you've bled, so has everyone else on this wall, and a lot of them still aren't going to see the dawn. I'm not telling you to become a berserker, just don't hesitate."
Naomasa's expression didn't change, but Shikamaru hadn't expected it to. He didn't care if Naomasa was angry, in fact he rather preferred it, but he also didn't want his student getting himself killed trying to prove something.
Daisuke crept over to them, cutting short any delayed retort Naomasa might have made by telling them, "The guard's changing."
"Then it's time we got moving." Shikamaru said, pulling the helmet low over his face and following Daisuke and Naomasa down one of the towers to the ground level where Inoichi waited, looking like a surprisingly convincing officer.
A team of disguised Jounin waited too, to make sure the relief squad didn't live long enough to notice their dead comrades on the wall.
And with that accomplished Nara Shikamaru and his team set foot in the courtyard of the Emperor's palace. Unopposed they walked calmly through the front doors looking for all the world as if they belonged there.

Ok so clearly I had no good name for this recipe… it's kind of a bunch of things mixed together… one of the more complex recipes I've posted but per some readers requests it's a full meal, no need to pair it with anything else, although all components could be made separately with other dishes. The other reason I made the dish is that my husband loves Asian food-it's his favorite cuisine but I don't really cook it that often. Probably because it's not my favorite (Italian food is, duh!)… but I do enjoy it and I think this dish is a homerun! One of the best things about this dish is made 3 of the 4 parts in advance on a Sunday and simply sautéed the greens Monday for dinner with plenty of leftovers to eat during the week. Meal prep on Sundays is definitely a lifesaver! Using the crockpot makes the meal prep even easier, I love setting it and forgetting it. (If you don't have a crockpot you could cut out the broth and the water and uses the remaining sauces to stir fry it on the stovetop- if you try it this way let me know!) But the best thing about the crockpot besides being mindless is that it makes perfectly shredded chicken. I usually take it out and shred it once its cooked and then put it back in for about an hour to absorb more flavor and stay even more tender. I promise you- all the flavors in this meal are perfection!
Pickled Veggies
2 cups chopped or shredded carrots
2 cups chopped cucumbers
1 chopped red onion
2 cups water
2 cups white vinegar
3 TBSP coconut sugar
1 tsp salt
1. After veggies are chopped, combine all water, vinegar, sugar, and salt over medium heat, stir until sugar is dissolved
2. Stir in veggies and make sure they are all covered, stir for a few minutes and then transfer to Pyrex/Tubberware
3. Put a lid on the veggies and liquid and refrigerate overnight
Teriyaki Crockpot Chicken
3-4 chicken breasts
1 cup chicken broth
1½ cups water
¼ cup honey
¼ cup tamari
¼ cup rice vinegar
1 garlic clove, minced
1 TBSP ground ginger
1. Measure all ingredients directly into crockpot
2. Set time according to needs- if you're going to be gone 8 hours at work, set it for 8 hours (low) if you are cooking this on a Sunday afternoon and want it to be ready for dinner- set for 4 hours on high) just make sure the chicken is thoroughly cooked
3. Once chicken is thoroughly cooked (no pink) shred it using two forks or stand mixer. I like to throw I back in the crockpot for a while to soak up more flavor once shredded
Serve or refrigerate (in ¼ cup liquid from crockpot) for later use.
Coconut Rice
1 cup uncooked rice
1 can coconut milk
1. Following the cooking directions on the rice, use ½ the recommended water for 1 cup uncooked rice and use coconut milk as the remaining liquid
2. Cook according to directions or until rice is tender
3. Mix in remaining coconut milk before rice cools
4. Store or eat while warm
Asian Fried Bok Choy and Kale
6 oz bok choy
10 oz kale
2 TBSP sesame oil
2 TBSP ground ginger
3 garlic cloves, minced
1. Heat oil in wok or skillet, once warm add garlic, allow to slightly brown for 1-2 minutes, add ginger
2. Add boy choy and kale, mix around trying to equally coat veggies in garlic and ginger
3. Sauté 5-8 minutes or until greens are wilted to your liking
4. Serve warm
Teriyaki Chicken with Pickled Veggies and Sautéed Kale and Bok Choy on top of Coconut Rice
Assemble: (anything that was previously cooked can be microwaved or tossed into greens pan if that's the last thing you are making/only thing you are making fresh- that's the way I did it)
1. Plate coconut rice
2. Top with greens
3. Add chicken
4. Top with pickled veggies
5. Garnish with roasted cashews or peanuts for extra crunch

If we win I predict Manly 4th v Roosters 5th at Brookie Fri night first semi final. If they win it is Roosters 3rd v Manly 6th at SFS Sat night. Assuming we beat Warriors and Bulldogs which I think we will. Either way I reckon we would take them out.

Fibrillarin is a highly conserved component of a nucleolar small ribonucleoprotein (SnRNP) complex in mammals, involved in the processing of ribosomal RNA during ribosomal biogenesis (1). The molecule runs at about 35kDa on SDS-PAGE, and the N terminal ~80 amino acids contain multiple copies based on the peptide RGG, or arginine-glycine-glycine, sometimes referred to as GAR repeats, characteristic of the GAR family of molecules. The remaining ~240 amino acids consist of the so called fibrillarin domain (1,2). Human fibrillarin has been characterized (accession P22087) and the human fibrillarin gene is located on chromosome 19 (19q13.1). Autoantibodies to fibrillarin are seen in the blood of scleroderma patients (2). The yeast homologue of human fibrillarin is Nop1p (3). Recent studies show that knock out of the fibrillarin gene in mice results in embryonic lethality, although mice with only one functional fibrillarin/Nop1p gene were viable (4). Our antibody was made against a recombinant protein expressed in bacteria and is identical to the human sequence. The antibody is an excellent marker of nucleoli. The HGNC name for this protein is FBL. References: 1. Aris JP and Blobel G. cDNA cloning and sequencing of human fibrillarin, a conserved nucleolar protein recognized by autoimmune antisera. Proc.

SCHOOL CHILDREN from Lythe gave Lord Sugar a run for his money and are totting up the profits after putting their entrepenurial skills to the test.
They were one of seven schools from across the borough taking part in the first Make £5 Blossom project in the area.
School teams joined up with a local business and came up with a product which they also had to develop and market.
With the help of Only Me Here Lythe School made frozen fruit kebabs for the school sports day and ran a French cafe.
They then presented their final results abd repaid the loan to their business partners at a day long event at the Stephen Joseph Theatre in Scarborough last month.
Make £5 Blossom was originally launched in Rotherham and supported by the Youth Enterprise Services and in Scarborough by North Yorkshire Business and Education Partnership.
It aims to develop enterprise skills in children to prepare them for the world of work, promote the local economy and bridge the gap between local businesses and schools.

I attended my best friend's wedding at the weekend. I only had a baby 6 weeks ago and I wasn't really up for getting all glammed up with bub in tow but it was my best friend so what could I do? I had to suck it up.

I'm not feeling my usual self at the moment body-wise. My boobs are massive and sometimes one is bigger than the other due to breastfeeding. Sexy! I'm also a bit chunkier than usual (although you probably wouldn't notice) so I wanted to wear a dress I would feel confident in.
As soon as I saw this Maiocchi Dress I knew it was the one. The Japanese inspired print is so bright and summery and a patterned dress masks baby vomit and milk spillage. My reality people! The dress is A-Line which doesn't suit my body type but I loved the design so much I had it taken in at the sides into a pencil skirt.
The vertical panel lines that are highlighted with a contrast piping create a slimming line and the cutaway neckline is really flattering. Perfect for boosting post-pregnancy confidence. I paired it with a pair of purple Next heels et voilà, I felt like my old self.
Thanks Maiocchi!
