|17/08716-6 - Global methylation and microRNAs expression in ventral prostate of rats offspring submitted to maternal protein restriction: perinatal effects and reflexes on aging, BP.DR
In the last decades, it has been observed an increase in the incidence of metabolic disorders, such as obesity, diabetes and even some types of cancer. Epidemiological evidences show that these diseases can originate from insults suffered by individuals during the intrauterine life, a condition known as Fetal Programming (FP). The perinatal period is characterized by high plasticity and the ability of the embryo/fetus to adapt to environmental changes by altering gene expression through epigenetic mechanisms. Recently, our group demonstrated that maternal protein restriction promotes prostate carcinogenesis in older offspring rats; however, the molecular mechanisms involved in this process remain unexplored. The advent of next-generation sequencing has revealed the importance of the non-coding transcriptome in the modulation of cellular processes. Thus, we aim to identify the global profile of small non-coding RNAs (microRNAs, piwi-interacting RNAs) deregulation in prostate samples of offspring rats subjected to a maternal low protein diet during the perinatal period. In this study, male Sprague Dawley rats born to dams fed with a standard diet (17% protein) or a low protein diet (6% protein) during gestation and lactation were euthanized on postnatal day 21 and (concluded step in Brazil), the ventral prostate was processed for small RNA-sequencing, using the HiSeq-2500 Illumina platform (concluded step in South Korea). During the 6 months internship, we will compare our microRNome data to the human prostatic adenocarcinoma data available in the "The Cancer Genome Atlas" database (TCGA), in order to find potential molecular pathways deregulated in the prostate of restricted offspring that could be related to the development of prostatic lesions in older animals. In-silico analyses will be performed to predict mRNA targets of the altered microRNAs, followed by the construction of regulatory networks and ontological pathways. These data will be used for target validation by RT-qPCR, western blotting and functional analysis when the Candidate returns to Brazil. Thus, we expect not only to improve the current knowledge on how prostate development is affected by maternal low protein diet exposure, but also identify common potential signaling pathways between the development of rat and human prostate carcinogenesis. The internship at Dr. Lam's Laboratory will provide the PhD Candidate Flávia Bessi Constantino with experience in bioinformatics, particularly on basic programming skills, as well as the processing and analysis of big data. These skills will be useful for the advancement of her PhD. research when she returns to Brazil.

How to Compose a Enceinte Issue Condemn
Updated on January 31, 2019
Virginia Kearney
Virginia has been a university English teacher for terminated 20 age. She specializes in portion multitude compose essays quicker and easier.
What is a Subject Condemnation?
1. Summarizes the briny thought of a paragraph
2. Much is the offset time (but not ever).
3. Tells the subscriber the well-nigh crucial matter to infer.
How can observation vehemence feign the way children frolic with toys? | Beginning
Footprint 1: Startle With a Dubiousness
Your edubirdie review theme sentences summarise apiece paragraph in the seek. The dissertation summarizes the master estimate of the hale attempt. So you want to birth a dissertation ahead you can spell your matter sentences. Hither is how to first:
Scratch With a Doubtfulness : Exploitation one of my lists of issue ideas, your teacher's instigate or your own mentation and recital, resolve the dubiousness you neediness your wallpaper to response. This bequeath be your dissertation enquiry.
Exemplar: : Why is thither an increment in ferocity among unseasoned masses?
Stair 2: Resolve Your Motion
Gobs of multitude remember composition the dissertation is gruelling but when you beginning with a inquiry, the dissertation is wanton. Hardly resolve the doubtfulness! That leave be your dissertation. How do you solution it? I secernate my students the" dissertation solvent" is what you lack your referee to recognize, cerebrate, do, or conceive aft recitation your assay.
Dissertation Inquiry: : Why is thither an increment in wildness among unseasoned mass?
Dissertation Response: Observance fierce images has led to an increment in kids playing out violently.
Now that you birth your dissertation dubiousness and resolution, you are make to save your theme sentences. These theme sentences are the independent reasons somebody should consider your dissertation argument.
Footprint 3: Micturate a Leaning of Reasons
To lick what those reasons would be, you indigence to shuffle a listing. For a distinctive 5 paragraph assay, you testament motivation leastways 3 reasons or one reasonableness with leash unlike parts. Nonetheless, it is ordinarily better to get as many ideas as you can, so you can take the trump ideas from the number. If you deliver hassle intelligent almost reasons, do a Google look or ask around friends.
Illustration subject reasons for "observation vehement images has led to an increment in kids playing out violently":
Untested masses can't perpetually distinguish 'tween fabrication and world.
Kids go possessed characters in picture games and movies and sometimes enact what they see.
Parents don't reminder what their kids vigil.
Telecasting and telecasting games suffer turn progressively red.
Observance ferocity desensitizes us thereto.
Blustery and fury among civilize children seems to be progressively on the advance, as are cultivate shootings.
We are responsible children's ferocity if we do nix to stopover it. | Germ
Tone 4: Put Matter Ideas in Decree.
Take your theme ideas and adjudicate on the trump way to rescript them. Does one estimate track to the succeeding? Is one estimate real your topper one? Unremarkably, you should put your trump line finale. As you put your thoughts in fiat, you may breakthrough thither are around theme ideas you pauperism to add or ones you don't use, as I did therein representative.
Lesson ordination of matter ideas:
Blustery and fury among schooling children appear to be progressively on the ascension, as are schooltime shootings.
Because of new engineering, unseasoned citizenry deliver entree to much more concealment meter than multitude of an before genesis.
Untried masses can't ever secern 'tween fable and world.
Observance wildness desensitizes us thereto.
Kids go haunted characters in television games and movies and sometimes reenact what they see.
Determination approximation: We pauperization to restrain the furiousness children see on media.
Gentle Conversion Name
In spitefulness of
Primarily (s etcetera.)
On the one mitt…On the former paw
In spitefulness of
Eve though
Footstep 5: Use Passage Speech
Conversion Dustup . Modulation language, linking phrases, and questions shew the connections betwixt your ideas. Re-writing your issue sentences with passage lyric leave shuffle your unhurt examine more attached. I separate students that victimization changeover lyric is the easiest way to gibbousness up their test degree.
An model of subject sentences victimisation changeover lyric and phrases:
Launching thought: Late, as we bear all heard on the tidings, intimidation, and furiousness among shoal children seems to be progressively on the upgrade, on with civilise shootings.
Dissertation: Why is thither an step-up in ferocity? I trust it mustiness be because children are observance more tearing images at originally ages
As a affair of fact, because of new engineering, immature citizenry sustain approach to lots more covert sentence than citizenry of an sooner multiplication.
Regrettably, untried mass can't e'er severalise betwixt fable and world.
In plus, observation wildness desensitizes us thereto.
In outcome, about kids get haunted with characters in tv games and movies and sometimes reenact what they see
Close theme: Do we real charge roughly our children? If we do, we pauperization to boundary the total of fury children see on media.
How has new engineering changed the way children purview images? | Root
Measure 6: Balk Your Logic.
Re-read your dissertation and subject sentences. Ask yourself:
Does this arguing shuffling smell?
Is thither any consistent footstep wanting?
Does it strait convincing?
Tone 7: Sing Out Your Assay
At this detail, it is a genuinely effective estimate to babble out your assay to person else, or level to yourself. You mightiness deprivation to disc yourself as you peach done your ideas, or ask soul to expense what you say. Ofttimes this is the spot where you may deficiency to brand around changes or add approximately data.
Measure 8: Percentage Your Ideas
As you discourse your examine with individual else, they are oftentimes capable to dedicate you ideas of how to pass meliorate. In my form, we do this in match redaction groups, but you very don't want your teacher to docket this for you. Obtain a champion, a raise or your future doorway neighbour and severalise them your ideas. See what they cogitate and ask them if they acknowledge any attest to backup your ideas or any arguments you indigence to rebut.
Measure 9: Re-write Your Dissertation as a Guideline
One way to compose a brawny dissertation doom is to adding a compact of your theme ideas. That proficiency is oft called a "Guideline Dissertation Condemn." Ordinarily, it is arduous to compose this until you've worked out your theme sentences, so oft it is topper to re-write your abaft you sustain through all of the 8 stairs.
Oftentimes, as you re-write, you may incur it alters your ideas ninety-seven more and helps you to see the relationships 'tween causa and force. That is what happened when I wrote my lesson. I started to cogitate more some why thither is a divergence now in how children sentinel trigger-happy images on media such as phones and tablets, so I treasured to stress the new engineering. See my representative downstairs.
Why is thither an increment in fierceness among offspring citizenry? Observation wild images has led to an gain in kids playacting out violently because: new engineering makes images more useable; children can't distinguish the conflict betwixt fabrication and fact; mass who vigil vehemence go desensitized; and unluckily, a nestling's innate knack to enact fantasies causes about children to ingeminate the force they see on the covert.
Matter Time vs. Dissertation
A dissertation affirmation could be called the matter condemn of your unscathed assay. Commonly, you testament neediness to indite your dissertation argument ahead composition your issue sentences.
When you've scripted both, you bear the scheme. So afterward doing all 9 stairs, you should incur authorship the wallpaper sluttish. All you volition let remaining to do is to shade leave be the details and examples.
Dissertation Command
Issue Time
How many?
Upright one per seek.
Various in an assay, one in every paragraph.
Ordinarily at the source of the assay, later the foundation estimation.
Passim the attempt, one in apiece paragraph. Normally at the start of the paragraph.
Explains your independent theme: what you lack the proofreader to retrieve, do or think.
Explains the chief mind of that paragraph.
Dissertation instruction sometimes has a "roadmap" which tells the reviewer what the subject sentences leave be most.
Theme sentences pay the reasons or parts of the dissertation instruction.
Shuffling the dissertation crystalise, particular and convincing for your hearing.
Put theme ideas in a lucid ordering, and put them from least to about crucial.
Net Tips
Use modulation language to display connections betwixt your ideas (still, in gain, furthermore).
Pee interesting arguments that aren't obvious.
Piddle your penning colourful and fun to study. Use graphic verbs, adverbs, and adjectives.
Put your nigh interesting mind as your conclusion subject time.
Try occasionally victimisation a doubtfulness and resolve initialise for your issue time.
Children and Furiousness Canvas
Do you spirit that observation ferocity on media makes children reenact violently?

What is the Optimum Media Vulnerability for Children?
Questions & Answers
Questions moldiness be on-topic, scripted with right grammar use, and apprehensible to a across-the-board hearing.

Staff at Chesterfield Royal Hospital have been speaking to patients about the importance of clinical trials today, to mark International Clinical Trials Day.
This year the number of participants taking part in clinical trials in the last 12 monthss has soared to over 870,000 across the UK, with a record number of studies open for patients in England.
The NHS has a long-term goal of reaching one million participants by 2023/24.
Amanda Whileman is matron for clinical research at the royal. She said: "Nothing changes without research. We wouldn't have any new treatments. I personally think it is very important and as a hospital we think it is very important.
"We're constantly looking for new treatments, new devices, anything that will improve patient care."
Brenda Barras underwent a trial at the Royal after being diagnosed with atrial fibrillation, a type of irregular heartbeat: "I think there is a bit of a fear factor because I think it is fear of the unknown.
"There have been horror stories in the past that you've heard about clinical trials but in my own experience I would recommend that people try it.
"They really kept an eye on you and I think that if you can do something to help somebody, if not for me, it might help somebody else from the results they get."

Following the death of Kelton boxer Connor Law at just 26, his heartbroken manager Stevie McGuire Sr has issued a statement
On behalf of Stevie McGuire & Glenrothes Boxing Club:
We are devastated by the death of Connor Law.
Connor was a special kid and a special boxer. He was part of GBC since he was 15 years old.
He achieved great highs as an amateur and we hoped for the same in his pro career - he was still unbeaten as a pro.
When he turned professional with Tommy Gilmour we knew he would go far. I told Tommy this was his next World Champion.
When Tommy retired from boxing I was honoured that Connor chose me to be the man that kept moving his career forward. He was excited to get back in the ring.
As his trainer from a young boy learning his trade to his manager as a professional we had a close relationship and he was part of my family. We are heartbroken.
The Law family, GBC and the McGuire family ask for privacy at this distressing time.
No other comment will be given by Stevie McGuire.

Thanks to the audio recordings of distant rumblings on Mars released by NASA this week, we finally know what the red planet sounds like.
NASA's InSight lander captured a range of sounds, most tantalizingly the low rumbles of "marsquakes" – seismic ripples rumbling through Mars' interior.
So does this mean Mars is noisy, or quiet? Do these terms even make sense on a different planet? Does traveling sound the same way on Mars?
If a tree falls in Australia (even if no one is there to hear it), it makes a whooshing sound followed by a ground-shaking thud. These sounds travel by causing air molecules to vibrate, which in turn causes their neighbors to vibrate, and before you know it you have a sound wave.
Mars certainly has trees that we know of, but many things can cause vibrations, such as wind. Mars has an atmosphere too, albeit quite different from the air here on Earth. For a start, take a lot less of it and spread it out more. Also made mostly of carbon dioxide, while our air thankfully contains plenty of oxygen.
These important details affect how those vibrations travel as sound waves. If you were to drop a tree on Mars (let's pretend the gravity is the same), whoosh would be much quieter. But that means they are less likely to drown out other sounds, because they would all be quieter too.
Sounds and vibrations are important, they tell us about the medium that travels through. With some very sensitive tools, you can hear the sounds of Mars like never before. So what do these martian sounds tell us?
The song of its history
On the surface, Mars looks like a planet long past its prime. There is no water, no lush forests, not much of an atmosphere, and the Solar System's largest volcano lies dormant.
But we will see clues it has an interesting history. It has water ice at its poles, and its surface shows signs of flowing liquid water once present.
Read more: I've Always Wondered: Why are volcanoes active on Earth, but not those on Mars?
What makes this red world so different from our own? To answer this, astronomers need to know more about how Mars formed.
We're pretty certain all four of the rocky or terrestrial planets formed in a similar way (well, maybe not Mercury, but we'll leave that for another day). We also pretty sure their interiors have similar structures: rocky outer crust, liquid rock mantle, and metallic core.
These layers form as the molten planets cool down in their violent aftermath. Denser elements such as metals sink to the center; whereas lighter materials rise up to form the outer layers.
While we can confirm this for Earth, doing so for other planets requires us to go there and listen to them.
Insights from InSight
When NASA's InSight lander touched down on Mars almost a year ago, its goal was to probe the interior of the red planet to learn more about its formation and current geological activity. Equipped with sophisticated instruments, InSight could measure vibrations from things like wind above ground and detect any rumblings from beneath the surface too.
In the same way we monitor Earthquakes on Earth, InSight's seismometer would be able to detect even very weak "marsquakes" – seismic waves traveling through the red planet. These waves would reveal information about Mars' interior and could confirm whether its structure is similar to Earth's.
It took months for InSight to sense anything below the surface. But since April 2019 it has made more than 100 detections. Not all of them are marsquakes – there are other sounds too. Meteor impacts on Mars' surface would also cause sound waves to cross the planet. And InSight itself pings and creaks as its parts move and its components expand and contract with changes in temperature.
To understand just what was discovered, NASA's scientists had to decode the data.
A sleeping giant
This week, engineers and scientists from NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory confirmed at least 20 of the detections are fide marsquakes. The quakes are very weak and would only register around a magnitude 3 on our earthquake scale.
This remarkable achievement highlights the sensitivity and capability of InSight's German-made seismic sensor. The next step is to try to understand exactly what caused these mini-marsquakes. This is quite challenging with only one instrument on the planet and hopefully more detections will help reveal the cause of these soft vibrations.

But what about our original question? What does it sound like on Mars? Thanks to InSight, we can hear the martian wind, the insight's pings and scrolls, and now even the planet's faint seismic heartbeat.
While the vibrations have changed a bit so our ears can actually pick them up, you can now hear the marsquakes for yourself!
While it may not have the sounds of life we hear on Earth, Mars is far from quiet. And its sounds are helping us learn even more about the red planet.

Case ref:201104526
Date:May 2014
Body:Glasgow City Council
Sector:Local Government
Outcome:Some upheld, recommendations
Subject:conservation areas, listed buildings, tree preservation orders
Mr C complained on behalf of a local action group about the council's handling of a planning application to build on a site occupied by a commercial property. Mr C said the council unreasonably failed to implement a planning clause requiring replacement of a tree; failed to respond appropriately to concerns about the protection of another tree; and unreasonably failed to obtain information on the appearance of proposed garage doors. He also said the council wrongly claimed that, at a Scottish Government Reporter's meeting, the roads department representative did not support a proposal for planters along the pavement at the front of the new building; and that the council unreasonably delayed in responding to letters about the development.
We took independent advice from one of our planning advisers. He explained that the council could not have used the planning condition to require the replacement of the tree as it was not located in the application site, so we did not uphold this complaint. However, he said that the council could have used different provisions to require another company (that owned the land where the tree was located) to replace it. We were not satisfied that the council took appropriate steps to secure the replacement of the tree, or that they took all appropriate steps to safeguard the other tree. In both cases, we were also critical of the council's failure to provide this office with actual evidence of their actions, and we made recommendations to address all these failings.
Our adviser explained that no public consultation was required about the detail of the garage doors and the council's planning officer was entitled to deal with this under delegated powers. On the matter of what was said at the Scottish Government Reporter's meeting, there was insufficient objective evidence of what the roads department representative actually said. We did not uphold these complaints.
We upheld the complaint that the council delayed in providing information to the action group and local councillors on the health of the second tree, and in responding to Mr C's complaint, and we also criticised the standard of their response.
We recommended that the council:
- make relevant staff aware of our findings on the complaints about the trees;
- ensure that, as a consequence of this complaint, staff in future keep full records of their actions as detailed by our adviser;
- confirm to the Ombudsman when replacement trees will be planted; and
- issue Mr C with a written apology for failing to respond to a letter within a reasonable time and for failing to address the new issues raised.

This is a scalable context timeline. It contains events related to the event (Between 9:30-10:00 a.m.) September 11, 2001: Cockpit Voice Recording Begins. You can narrow or broaden the context of this timeline by adjusting the zoom level. The lower the scale, the more relevant the items on average will be, while the higher the scale, the less relevant the items, on average, will be.
According to an early timeline laid out to CNN by unnamed but "informed defense officials," the FAA informs NORAD at this time that Flight 93 may have been hijacked. [CNN, 9/17/2001] In public testimony before the 9/11 Commission in 2003, NORAD officials will similarly claim that the FAA first reports the possible hijacking of Flight 93 at this time. [9/11 Commission, 5/23/2003] Yet this is 12 minutes before the hijacking is meant to have occurred (see (9:28 a.m.) September 11, 2001). [9/11 Commission, 8/26/2004, pp. 38] One explanation is put forward that could possibly help explain the discrepancy: There are media reports that "investigators had determined from the cockpit voice recorder from United Airlines Flight 93… that one of the four hijackers had been invited into the cockpit area before the flight took off from Newark, New Jersey." Cockpit voice recordings indicate that the pilots believed their guest was a colleague "and was thereby extended the typical airline courtesy of allowing any pilot from any airline to join a flight by sitting in the jumpseat, the folded over extra seat located inside the cockpit." [Fox News, 9/24/2001; Herald Sun (Melbourne), 9/25/2001] This would be consistent with passenger phone calls from the plane, describing only three hijackers on Flight 93 (see (9:27 a.m.-10:03 a.m.) September 11, 2001). [Longman, 2002, pp. 120] However, the reports will not be confirmed. The 9/11 Commission Report will dismiss the claim that NORAD was alerted at 9:16, stating, "In public testimony before this Commission in May 2003, NORAD officials stated that at 9:16, NEADS received hijack notification of United 93 from the FAA. This statement was incorrect. There was no hijack to report at 9:16. United 93 was proceeding normally at that time." [9/11 Commission, 7/24/2004, pp. 34] No further explanations will be offered for the incorrect timelines. NORAD's own initial timeline, released on September 18, 2001, will not give a time for when the FAA alerted it to Flight 93. It will only say that the FAA and its Northeast Air Defense Sector (NEADS) "established a line of open communication discussing AA Flt 77 and UA Flt 93."

Key events of Flight 93 (times are based on a Pittsburgh Post-Gazette map and otherwise interopolated). [Source: Yvonne Vermillion/ MagicGraphix.com] (click image to enlarge)Apparently, the only cockpit voice recording recovered undamaged from any of the 9/11 crashes is from Flight 93. It recorded on a 30-minute reel, which means that the tape is continually overwritten and only the final 30 minutes of any flight is recorded, though in practice sometimes the tape is slightly longer. Flight 93's recording lasts 31 minutes and begins at this time. [Longman, 2002, pp. 206-207; CNN, 4/19/2002; Hartford Courant, 4/19/2004] According to one account, it begins seconds before the plane is hijacked. [Washington Post, 11/17/2001] However, the version of the tape later played for the victims' relatives begins "too late to pick up the sounds of the hijackers' initial takeover." [MSNBC, 4/18/2002]

[Source: Family photo]A woman in the cockpit of Flight 93, presumably one of the plane's flight attendants, is apparently repeatedly given orders and then killed or otherwise silenced by the plane's hijackers. The cockpit voice recording from Flight 93 will later reveal that, at 9:32 a.m., one of the hijackers in the cockpit starts issuing a series of strange orders. "Don't move! Shut up! Come on, come! Shut up! Don't move! Stop!" he says in English. About 15 seconds later, he continues, "Sit, sit, sit down!" At 9:34 a.m., he orders someone—apparently a flight attendant—to lie down. "Down! Go ahead, lie down!" he says and then continues: "Lie down! Down, down, down! Down, down, down!" He then says: "Sit down! Come on, sit down, sit! Sit down! Sit down!" Flight Attendant Pleads with the Hijackers - About 15 seconds later, a person identified in an FBI transcript of the cockpit voice recording as a "[f]emale native English-speaking person" starts pleading with the hijackers. "Please, please, please, please, please, don't hurt me," she says. She then exclaims, "Oh, God!" Investigators will determine that this woman is likely one of the first-class flight attendants, either Deborah Welsh or Wanda Green. Hijacker Orders the Flight Attendant to Sit Down - At 9:35 a.m., the hijacker will continue issuing orders. Still speaking English, he says: "No more. Down, down, down! No, no, no, no, no, no." Apparently talking to the flight attendant, he says: "Sit down, sit down, sit down! Down! Sit down! Sit down! You know, sit down!" The flight attendant asks, "Are you talking to me?" but receives no answer. She then continues pleading with the hijackers, saying: "I don't want to die. I don't want to die. I don't want to die.… No, no, please." Flight Attendant Struggles and Is Apparently Killed - At 9:36 a.m., the flight attendant apparently struggles with the hijackers for about 30 seconds. The FBI transcript of the cockpit voice recording will describe the "sound of a female crying and a struggle that lasted for a few seconds," followed by the "sound of a struggle with a female." The flight attendant is apparently killed or otherwise silenced at this time. About a minute later, one of the hijackers says in Arabic: "Everything is fine. I finished." The flight attendant's voice will never be picked up again by the plane's cockpit voice recorder. [Federal Bureau of Investigation, 12/4/2003; McMillan, 2014, pp. 84-85]

A hijacker in the cockpit of Flight 93 asks another hijacker if they should "let the guys in" and that hijacker then suggests that they "bring the pilot back." The cockpit voice recording from Flight 93 will later reveal that, speaking in Arabic, one of the hijackers says: "How about we let them in? We let the guys in now." He then repeats his question, asking, "Should we let the guys in?" He is apparently suggesting that they allow the other hijackers on Flight 93 into the cockpit. The other hijacker in the cockpit replies, "Inform them and tell him to talk to the pilot." He then says, "Bring the pilot back." Journalist and author Tom McMillan will comment that this reference to the pilot "underscored the notion that [Ziad Jarrah, the hijacker believed to be at the controls of Flight 93] was overmatched by the Boeing 757" and is also "apparent confirmation that at least one of the United pilots—either Captain [Jason] Dahl or First Officer [LeRoy] Homer—was still alive, and likely in the first-class cabin." [Federal Bureau of Investigation, 12/4/2003; McMillan, 2014, pp. 96] However, at around this time, passenger Todd Beamer reports in a call from Flight 93 that the plane's captain and first officer are lying on the floor of the first-class cabin, and are injured or possibly dead (see 9:45 a.m.-9:58 a.m. September 11, 2001). [Longman, 2002, pp. 199; 9/11 Commission, 8/26/2004, pp. 43] Indeed, McMillan will note that "[n]o one ever was brought to the cockpit to assist with the aircraft's operation and the hijackers never mentioned 'the pilot' again" on the cockpit voice recording. One of the hijackers in the cockpit, still speaking in Arabic, then whispers: "In the name of Allah. In the name of Allah. I bear witness that there is no other God but Allah." Less than 30 seconds later, at 9:46 a.m., the cockpit voice recorder will pick up the sound of two knocks on the cockpit door followed by the sound of the door opening. A couple of minutes after that, the recorder will pick up the sound of "distinctive knocks" on the cockpit door, again followed by the sound of the door opening. What exactly is happening on these occasions is unknown. [Federal Bureau of Investigation, 12/4/2003; McMillan, 2014, pp. 96]
A hijacker in the cockpit of Flight 93 apparently suggests holding up the plane's fire axe to the peephole in the cockpit door in the mistaken belief that the passengers will be able to see it and be scared by it. [Longman, 2002, pp. 209-210] The cockpit voice recording from Flight 93 will later reveal that, speaking in Arabic, one of the hijackers in the cockpit says to another: "The best thing: The guys will go in, [you] lift up the [unintelligible], and they put the axe into it. So, everyone will be scared." The other hijacker replies, "Yes" and then the first hijacker repeats, "The axe." Seconds later, he says: "Let him look through the window. Let him look through the window." [Federal Bureau of Investigation, 12/4/2003; McMillan, 2014, pp. 100] Federal officials will explain to the relatives of passengers and crew members on Flight 93 what they believe was happening at this time. The hijackers, journalist and author Jere Longman will describe, "in a bumbling manner, suggested holding the axe up to the peephole in the cockpit door, believing incorrectly that the riled passengers could see through the other end." [Longman, 2002, pp. 209-210] Over the next couple of minutes, the cockpit voice recorder will pick up the sound of three knocks on the cockpit door, followed by the sound of the door opening and closing on two occasions. What exactly is happening at these times is unknown. [Federal Bureau of Investigation, 12/4/2003]
One of the hijackers in the cockpit asks if anything is going on, apparently meaning outside the cockpit. "Fighting," the other says. [Longman, 2002, pp. 210] An analysis of the cockpit flight recording suggests that the passenger struggle actually starts in the front of the plane (where Mark Bingham and Tom Burnett are sitting) about a minute before a struggle in the back of the plane (where Todd Beamer is sitting). [Observer, 12/2/2001] Officials later theorize that the Flight 93 passengers reach the cockpit using a food cart as a battering ram and a shield. They claim digital enhancement of the cockpit voice recorder reveals the sound of plates and glassware crashing around 9:57 a.m. [Newsweek, 12/3/2001]

Hijackers in the cockpit of Flight 93 react to the passengers who are apparently trying to retake control of the aircraft and one of them appears to ask if they should fly the plane into the ground. [9/11 Commission, 8/26/2004, pp. 45-46] Passengers on the flight have apparently been trying to force their way into the cockpit, using a food cart as a shield (see 9:57 a.m.-9:59 a.m. September 11, 2001). [Observer, 12/2/2001; Longman, 2002, pp. 270-271] Hijacker Asks if He Should 'Finish It Off' - The cockpit voice recording from the plane will later reveal that, in response to this, a hijacker in the cockpit apparently suggests crashing the plane into the ground. Speaking in Arabic, he asks: "Is that it? Shall we finish it off?" Another hijacker in the cockpit replies: "No. Not yet. When they all come, we finish it off!" Passengers Try to Get into the Cockpit - Seconds later, a male passenger shouts: "Ah! I'm injured." A hijacker then exclaims: "Oh Allah! Oh Allah! Oh gracious!" A male passenger apparently instructs those with him to continue trying to force their way into the cockpit. "In the cockpit," he shouts, adding, "If we don't, we'll die!" A hijacker then makes some unusual statements. He says: "Up, down. Up, down, in the cockpit. The cockpit. Up, down." He adds, "Saeed, up, down!" [Federal Bureau of Investigation, 12/4/2003; McMillan, 2014, pp. 103-104] "Saeed" is presumably Saeed Alghamdi, one of the alleged hijackers of Flight 93. [9/11 Commission, 8/26/2004, pp. 35] Hijacker Again Suggests Crashing the Plane - The cockpit voice recorder then picks up the sound of a male passenger, in the distance, giving the instruction, "Roll it!" He is possibly talking about rolling the food cart forward, journalist and author Tom McMillan will suggest. This is followed by the sound of glasses and plates breaking. A hijacker then apparently starts praying, saying: "Allah is the greatest! Allah is the greatest!" He then appears to suggest crashing the plane into the ground again. "Is that it? I mean, shall we pull it down?" he asks. "Yes, put it in it and pull it down," another hijacker replies. Hijacker Says to Shut Off the Oxygen Supply - One of the hijackers then suggests that they turn off the oxygen supply to the cabin, saying: "Cut off the oxygen! Cut off the oxygen! Cut off the oxygen! Cut off the oxygen!" [Federal Bureau of Investigation, 12/4/2003; McMillan, 2014, pp. 104] (However, cutting off the oxygen below an altitude of 10,000 feet would have little or no effect on the passengers, aviation officials will comment. [Longman, 2002, pp. 271] ) About 20 seconds later, he makes more unusual statements, saying: "Up, down. Up, down. Up, down." Passengers Continue Their Assault - Within the next 20 seconds, the cockpit voice recorder picks up the sounds of loud crashes, snaps, loud grunts, and a male passenger shouting, "Ah!" A passenger then issues some commands. "Go! Go!" they say. "Move! Move!" they shout. A male passenger—perhaps the same person—then yells loudly, "Turn it up!" What they mean by this is unclear. [Federal Bureau of Investigation, 12/4/2003; McMillan, 2014, pp. 104] The passengers will apparently continue to struggle against the hijackers until the plane crashes, at 10:03 a.m. (see 10:02 a.m.-10:03 a.m. September 11, 2001). [9/11 Commission, 8/26/2004, pp. 46]

The cockpit voice recording of Flight 93 was recorded on a 30-minute reel, which means that the tape is continually overwritten and only the final 30 minutes of any flight would be recorded. The government later permits relatives to hear this tape. Apparently, the version of the tape played to the family members begins at 9:31 a.m. and runs for 31 minutes, ending one minute before, according to the government, the plane crashes. [Longman, 2002, pp. 206-207; CNN, 4/19/2002] The New York Observer comments, "Some of the relatives are keen to find out why, at the peak of this struggle, the tape suddenly stops recording voices and all that is heard in the last 60 seconds or so is engine noise. Had the tape been tampered with?"
[New York Observer, 6/20/2004]
The FBI reveals that it knows what is on the Flight 93 black boxes, but refuses to release the transcript or audio recording. Families of the victims have requested to hear the cockpit voice recording, but the FBI says, "[W]e do not believe that the horror captured on the cockpit voice recording will console them in any way."
[CNN, 12/21/2001] Accuracy in Media immediately submits a Freedom of Information Act request to have the transcript released, but the FBI turns it down because a release "could reasonably be expected to interfere with enforcement proceedings." The Philadelphia Daily News asks, "What enforcement proceedings?" and suggests the FBI may be covering up a shootdown of the plane. [Philadelphia Daily News, 12/28/2001] The recordings are later played, but only in private to victims' relatives and the 9/11 Commission.

The cockpit voice recorder tape from United 93, which crashed in Shanksville, Pennsylvania (see (10:06 a.m.) September 11, 2001), is played at the trial of Zacarias Moussaoui (see March 6-May 4, 2006) just before the prosecution rests its case. Translations are displayed on a screen along with information taken from the plane's flight data recorder, such as speed, altitude, and steering yoke position. [Associated Press, 4/12/2006; London Times, 4/12/2006] The recording is sealed by the judge and a transcript is made available to the public. [US District Court for the Eastern District of Virginia, Alexandria Division, 7/31/2006] This is a big media event and it receives lots of coverage. CNN, for example, calls it "an absolutely spellbinding, unforgettable day in court." Many of the passages are unintelligible, but the recording seems to indicate that the hijackers murdered a flight attendant. [CNN, 4/12/2006; US District Court for the Eastern District of Virginia, Alexandria Division, 7/31/2006 ] Some of the victims' relatives previously heard the recording at a private meeting (see April 18, 2002).

2018 Specialized Tarmac SL5 Comp Carbon (54cm only!)
While there's a certain degree of truth in applying terms like "upgrade" or "value" to our Tarmac Comp, we prefer to refrain from doing so. Why? Because the Tarmac Comp stands on its own two wheels as a bike that's born to perform and able to take your riding and racing to the next level. Like the S-Works Tarmac iterations, it features a Rider-First Engineered™ design that applies specificity to every tube size and carbon layup for every frame size. This creates the optimal balance of rigidity, weight, and responsiveness, so every frame, regardless of its size, performs just as we intended. You'll also find an identical, Grand-Tour-winning geometry to past Tarmacs, plus a high-end FACT 10r carbon fiber construction. For the spec, we selected components that deliver the best bang for your buck, like resplendent Roval SLX 24 alloy wheels, a mix of Shimano Ultegra 8000 and 105, and a bevy of Body Geometry components that maximize performance by providing the utmost in comfort. The FACT 10r carbon frame combines the lightweight performance and compliance with our Rider-First Engineered™ design that ensures every frame size has the same legendary climbing responsiveness and descending prowess you'd expect from a Tarmac. FACT carbon fork with a tapered construction provides incredible front end stiffness and steering response for instantaneous accelerations and high-speed descents. A Shimano Ultegra 11-speed groupset provides crisp, reliable shifting and a tall range of gears to form a well-rounded collection of components that are as durable as they are precise.
54cm Only! (614)478-7777!

Jessica Woll, managing partner of Woll & Woll, P.C., a divorce and family law practice in Birmingham, responded to the Supreme Court's ruling Friday recognizing gay marriage with some important considerations for gay couples who reside in Michigan.
"Prior to June 26, 37 States and the District of Columbia recognized gay marriage. With the Supreme Court's landmark decision legalizing same-sex marriage in Michigan and across the country, there are considerations same-sex couples need to be aware of immediately," said Woll.
1. Same-sex couples living in Michigan who married in a state that previously recognized gay marriage or now marry here, have the same rights to get divorced in Michigan as heterosexual couples. The couple must reside in Michigan for six months and be a resident of the county where the divorce is filed for at least 10 days prior to filing the divorce action.
2. Often in a gay union, and particularly in states where gay marriage has not been recognized, only one parent has legal rights to a minor child. It is imperative that the parent without legal rights to the child adopt the child.
"At this juncture, simply getting married after the fact will not create parental rights for the parent who currently doesn't have them," said Woll.
3. Prior to Friday's decision, Woll had same-sex clients who got married in a state that recognized same-sex marriage, but who lived in Michigan where the union was not legally recognized. They wanted to get divorced, but were unwilling to move out of state to do so.
"In these instances, I created a contract similar to a post-nuptial agreement, that divided the couples' assets, dealt with spousal support, attorney fees and even issues pertaining to children," Woll said. "These contracts included clauses stating that in the event gay marriage becomes legal, the document should be incorporated into a judgment of divorce. Contracts such as these should be upheld in Michigan."
4. In Michigan, a child born during a marriage is considered a child of the marriage, regardless of whether that child is the actual biological child of the father.
"It will be interesting to see how this law applies when both parents are married men or women," Woll said.
Woll notes the four reference points are only the tip of the iceberg when considering what gay marriage will mean in Michigan.
"The ramifications of gay marriage will be broad and far reaching from a legal perspective and I suspect we will see some immediate new case law as a result," Woll said. "I also think our legislature is going to be very busy interpreting and defining laws and statutes that previously applied only to heterosexual marriage and divorce."

WAFCA is a Non-Profit Organization (NPO), headquartered in Aichi, Japan.
It was established in 1999 as part of a social contribution project to commemorate *DENSO Corporation's 50th year anniversary.
We provide wheelchairs and educational programs and services for
children with disabilities and their families to live a life with
increased independence.
WAFCA's project began in Thailand in partnership with WAFCA Thailand (WAFCAT) at the regional level, originally where DENSO established its
first overseas manufacturing factory.
*DENSO is a leading supplier of advanced automotive technology,
systems and components for all the world's major automakers.
DENSO established a NPO WAFCA in April 1999, which was the first NPO
established by a private corporation in Japan.
The United Nations (UN) Convention has affirmed that every person with disabilities should be respected for their inherent dignity with full
and equal human rights and freedom.
However, approximately 15% of the world's population is individuals with disabilities – over one billion people, and 80% of whom currently reside in developing countries. Many children with disabilities in these countries still cannot receive adequate educational service as compared to other children.
To respond to their needs, WAFCA contributes to an inclusive and barrier-free society for children with disabilities by providing wheelchairs.
We also aim to provide rights-based educational support for childrenwith disabilities to be integrated into the main stream of society, and to have equal opportunities as with other children without disabilities.
WAFCA's official logo shows two people facing with each other in a wheelchair, which describe the mission of WAFCA.
Stay close with each of children with disabilities in Asia,

Superb 9.0 From 1,771 reviews
Wonderful views and a comfortable bed. The lighting in the bathroom is a little odd which makes shaving difficult (poor design of light above vanity mirror). Very disappointing breakfast buffet - a bit run of the mill and most heating trays not set high enough so all a little cold.
From the moment you step in is Fantastic, you can feel the warmth (not temperature) 😂 Aniko at reception was great, got a room Upgrade to Executive and Lounge access, good selection of
The view from my room is impeessive. The staff serviced us are very passionate. A good spirited team. The room size is just right. The chioces of pillows is extraordinary. The experience is very good. Will come back and highly recommended to everyone.
Swissotel is a very nice, clean and comfortable hotel with all the conveniences. The service was excellent and the quality of the products in the bathroom was good too. The bathroom was modern and the shower was excellent. From the check-in to the housekeeping everyone was so polite and helpful. It is located in the most convenient place with the metro and the Raffles Shopping Centre next door which you can get to without having to come out of the hotel building. I would definitely recommend this hotel and would stay there when I next visit Singapore.
As always enjoyed our stopover at the Stamford, check in assistance excellent, lovely big room with good view. Good WiFi.
Nice location for mrt and shopping . Great Christmas decorations
Fabulous hotel. We got the real 5 star treatment in every way. Great breakfast with lots of gluten free options. Pool area lovely too. Can't go past the position so close to train station, shopping and sightseeing.
2 day stopover, centrally located and room was excellent.
Amazing, excellent location. 5 floors of shopping and food.
The check-in process, the room were just wonderful-centrally located-with very short walk to trains. This is the hotel to stay at while in Singapore

#HHNBO A mojo studio in the palm of your hand
The February meet-up focused on free apps and easy skills for creating and sharing stories using smartphones.
The media landscape is constantly evolving. The mobile revolution has reintroduced the mobile phone as a complete tool for storytelling, as is evident in the number of media houses and independent journalists that use the smartphone to shoot, edit and publish their stories. We invited Mobile Journalism Africa to our February meet-up in Nairobi to show us how to turn an average smartphone into mini-studio.
Mobile Journalism Africa's mantra is 'our stories are best told by us'. The aim of the training session was to provide each individual with the skills to be able to live this mantra. Community members were excited to empower themselves and to be able to update and complement their existing digital journalism skills, by learning to create easy, compelling video content on their own mobile phones. Participants were trained on the types of apps one can use to create great mobile content, functionality and the basic skills required to use them.
Speaking at the event, Code for Africa's Communities Manager Catherine Gicheru highlighted the importance of using the skills gained in this training, and all journalism skills in general, ethically.
Mobile Journalism Africa founder Yegon Emmanuel also urged participants to pursue more knowledge and gain even more skills in mobile journalism. By the end of the session, two of the participants were confident enough of the skills that they learnt to offer to produce Mobile Journalism stories.
The worlds of hackers and journalists are coming together, as reporting goes digital and Internet companies become media empires.
Journalists call themselves "hacks," someone who can churn out words in any situation. Hackers use the digital equivalent of duct tape to whip out code.
Hacker-journalists try and bridge the two worlds. Hacks/Hackers Africa aims to bring all these people together — those who are working to help people make sense of our world. It's for hackers exploring technologies to filter and visualise information, and for journalists who use technology to find and tell stories. In the age of information overload and collapse of traditional business models for legacy media, their work has become even more crucial.
Code for Africa, the continent's largest #OpenData and civic technology initiative, recognises this and is spearheading the establishment of a network of HacksHackers chapters across Africa to help bring together pioneers for collaborative projects and new ventures.
Follow Hacks/Hackers Africa on Twitter and Facebook and join the Hacks/Hackers community group today.

GOALS from Callum Butler and James King ensured Christchurch recorded a 2-0 Wessex Premier victory at Cowes Sports.
King set the ball rolling for Ollie Cherrett's side from the penalty spot after just 13 minutes at Westwood Park, before Butler struck home nine minutes after the interval.
Victory meant Priory have picked up seven points from their opening four league games.
Elsewhere in the division, goals from Adam Costello and Mike Gosney ensured Lymington drew 2-2 at Tadley Calleva.
Jude Nwachukwu's goal proved not enough for Brockenhurst in a 3-1 defeat at AFC Portchester, while Bashley were beaten 1-0 at home to Alresford.
Poppies and Hamworthy United played out a goalless draw at Victoria Park.
In Wessex One, Pepechino Smith and Harrison Clark's goals were not enough for Ringwood, as they fell to a 3-2 reverse at home to Romsey Town.
Verwood Town lost 3-1 at Andover Town, with a Charlie Heggan goal proving consolation.
New Milton were hammered 5-0 at Whitchurch United. The Linnets are still looking for their first league victory of the campaign after drawing three and losing three of their six games.
Lymington tomorrow host Hayward League Bournemouth Manor in the second round of the Bournemouth Senior Cup.
Hamworthy United make the trip to Romsey Town in the first round of the Sydenhams League Cup, while New Milton travel to East Cowes Victoria.

currently im just listing all the users in the princable but thats not exactly very maintainable.
I can allow in the IAM policy attached to the users and then deny in the bucket policy useing NotPrincipal but I can see that getting a bit complex and it seems much more secure to white list than black list?

The Nation, a notoriously Zionist 'progressive' rag, after a five-month investigation, claims to have found two anonymous Kurds who state that the three American hikers were seized by Iran while they were in Iraq. Americans have a term for this - 'hot pursuit' - and do it all the time. Note that there are no witnesses who claim that the hikers were not in Iran, just two anonymous witnesses who, as Kurds, probably have an animus against Iran. Btw, do you think any other group of American hikers would warrant a five-month investigation by The Nation? Many of the comments to the Gawker posting are sufficiently cynical (as are some of the comments to the original article - "I guess we should chalk it up to The Nations funding sources, eh?").
The irony in all this is that this 'investigation' is exactly the sort of thing which will delay the release of the hikers. As their detention is being used as Zionist propaganda so the Jews can attempt to trick the Americans into committing genocide against the innocents in Iran (the same old Jewish trick requesting the same old Jewish solution), the delay is probably what the Zionist editors of The Nation intend.

As we work really damn hard to make all this stuff from scratch (finding the models and working with them to make the best material we can), we get pretty annoyed when people rip our stuff off.
We have a team of lawyers* standing by to break those guys' kneecaps (in the sending firm-letters-of-disapproval way, of course), so if you see our stuff being ripped off, we'd really like to know about it.
However. Sometimes we let other places use our material to promote our site that is sanctioned by us, so there's not a need to notify us about those.
When to let us know
- A whole set of images (ie, 100 plus) on websites, bitlockers, or torrent sites
- A whole video on websites, bitlockers, or torrent sites
- Anything on eBay (or similar) of ours, other than DVD's we have released
- Any image of ours that does not have our logo and copyright on it (ie, cropped)
When to let it slide
- Any site that links to us directly, or via our billing company (www.gmbill.com)
- individual images that are credited to us with text or our branding visible
If you're unsure about an image, please let us know so we can check it out. And thanks for looking out for us.
*Well, ok, a guy we know called Ben. But he sure knows his stuff. So look out.

Sensitivity of endemic Snake River cutthroat trout to acidity and elevated aluminum
- More information: Publisher Index Page (via DOI)
- Download citation as: RIS | Dublin Core
Acidic episodes in waters of the western USA, do not last as long and are not as intense as those in the eastern USA, but we found that the native western cutthroat trout Oncorhynchus clarki is sensitive to even brief reductions in pH. In laboratory studies, fish were exposed to acidity (pH 4.5–6.5) alone or in the presence of aluminum during the first 7 d of the freshly fertilized egg, eyed embryo, alevin, or swim-up larva stages of development. Following exposure to acidity and aluminum, eggs and fish were held under control water quality conditions to 40 d posthatch to assess effects of the exposure on subsequent development. Reductions in pH from 6.5 to 6.0 in low-calcium water (1.4 mg/L) did not affect survival, but reduced growth offish in the early life stages. The presence of as little as 50 μg A1/L at low pH further decreased growth and reduced survival. The most sensitive indicators of stress were loss of ions (determined from whole-body sampling) and reduced swimming in alevins, reduction in the ratio of RNA:DNA, feeding inhibition, and pathology of gill tissue in swim-up larvae. A pH of 6.0 and 50 μg Al/L reduced whole-body sodium by 72% and potassium by 50% in alevins. Reductions in the RNA: DNA ratio, correlated with lower growth rates, were observed in swim-up larvae exposed to pH 5.5 and 50 μg Al/L. Exposure to 50 μg Al/L at pH 6.0 reduced swimming activity of alevins by 68% and feeding rates of swim-up larvae by 67%. In the presence of 50 μg A1/L, pathological changes in gill tissue were observed in swim-up larvae exposed to pH 6.0 or less. Although acidification is not widespread in the western USA, cutthroat trout have a narrow margin of safety between conditions that currently exist and those at which pH and aluminum reduce survival and growth.

Belgium manager Roberto Martinez believes Italy "are among the favourites to win Euro 2020, as Roberto Mancini's work has been exceptional."
The Azzurri will have all three group games on home turf at the Stadio Olimpico in Rome against Turkey, Switzerland and Wales.
"Italy are among the favourites to win Euro 2020," Martinez told the Corriere dello Sport.
They won all 10 qualifiers to make themselves top seeds, just two years after missing out on the 2018 World Cup.
"Mancini's work has been exceptional. Having said that, qualifiers are one thing and the final phase of the tournament is another."
Belgium's Euro 2020 group includes Denmark, Russia and Finland.
"Logistically, it is going to be pretty tough on us, as we are playing in Saint Petersburg and Copenhagen."
