The increasingly sought-after and rather lovely suburb of Higgovale is located in the City Bowl, the beating heart of Cape Town, sitting snugly between the harbour and the mountain.
Bordered by Camps Bay to the West and Oranjezicht to the East, with Lions Head to its immediate north west, Higgovale boasts some of the most spectacular views in Cape Town, and that is no mean feat when you consider that Cape Town is one big, awe inspiring view!
In spite of its somewhat lofty position, Higgovale is ideally located for many of the city's most popular hotspots – the bistros and boutiques of Kloof Street, the glorious Table Mountain National Park, the V&A and the Atlantic beaches.
Needless to say, it is becoming something of a residential jewel, with sedate, tranquil homes nestling into the mountain side, minutes from urban buzz, and boasting breathtaking views.
Scaling the mountain
Lion's Head – 1.5 hours to the summit
India Venster – 3-4 hours to the summit
Higgovale Quarry – was once a shooting range and lies just beyond Molteno Reservoir, providing some superb bolted slab/face climbs.
NB. Do please check in advance regarding level of fitness required, equipment needed and weather conditions.

Talking with peers in the Identity space, it continues to strike me how two fundamentally different concepts remains a topic of confusion. I am specifically referring to Role based provisioning versus Role Based Access Control (RBAC).
RBAC is an approach to restrict system access to users with the appropriate authorization and enforced on the access control layer. RBAC is a non-discretionary access control mechanism which promotes the central administration of an organizational specific security policy.
This pattern of modelling access control has been around for a long time and with the raised compliance concerns of Segregation of Duties (SoD), RBAC have shown to be an effective model to enforce this within the enterprise - therefore also widely used.
Role based provisioning is the concept of clustering or grouping the way entitlements and attributes are being provisioned to target resources, for instance a particular role might imply a set of groups in the corporate Active Directory (AD) as well as access to a financial reporting system. The groups in AD would be entitlement carrying attributes, but the provisioning role wouldn't be limited to these and could of course also define other attributes such as department and division.
Role based provisioning relies upon the target system to be the enforcer of the authorization layer. Of course the provisioning of entitlements can contain policies ensuring that SoDs are being considered and honored. Perhaps this is where the confusion occurs? Perhaps the terminology is being used too relaxed among identity vendors.
In the modern world of mobile users, connected wirelessly on portable devices such as tablets or smartphones creates a new set of challenges which quickly introduces the discussions around context aware access controls. Context of course being nothing more than a set of key value pair attributes defining where you are, what device you are one, time zone you are in or whatever it might be, but still simply attribute data derived from or provided by the user and associated device.
Analysts, such as Gartner, predict that by 2020, 70% of enterprises will use attribute-based access control (ABAC) as the dominant mechanism to protect critical assets, up from less than 5% today.
Fair enough, even though i believe that statement when i see it in reality - but lets not confuse this with role based provisioning, which serves a completely different purpose. Lets try to defuse the confusion by defining the two models.
- A role-based access control (RBAC) model grants access to resources based on a user role, such as the user's job title or work responsibility. (Here we are talking authorization and its enforcement)
- A role-based provisioning model, automates the access entitlement provisioning process for a specific managed resource, based on the roles to which the user belongs. (Here we are talking how to set attributes, entitlements carrying or regular attributes, not how to enforce them)
What's funny about Gartner's predictions, is the specific explanation on how "RBAC is one-dimensional because it cannot take context in the equation and will therefore fail to address challenges.", the analyst seems to have missed the specific paragraphs in the NIST standard about static and dynamic constraints as well as temporal constraints, addressing the topic of contextual information and recent publications and research such as http://csrc.nist.gov/groups/SNS/rbac/documents/kuhn-coyne-weil-10.pdf. Basically allowing for attributes to dynamically impact the roles.
Having said the above, i do believe that context will become increasingly important but when jumping in to these discussions, please note the difference between these two concepts.

I started "Why?" as a new feature on the SCU site to help more photographers understand the stories behind the favorite images of some of the most respected artists in our industry today. I can't turn back the clock and chase down photographers who are no longer with us, but stay tuned. I'm going to be sharing a new image every week along with a short sound byte about the images from the artists themselves.
Every image has a story behind it or a vision of the artist. Scott Bourne is in today's spotlight.
In 2009 I met Scott at Skip's Summer School in Las Vegas, not remembering we'd met close to twenty years earlier, back in my Hasselblad days. Since 2009 we wrote a book together, GoingPro. Then we launched a website and podcast by the same name which ran for several years and is essentially the roots of SkipCohenUniversity.com. Recently we launched a new podcast series, "Mind Your Own Business" as part of Photofocus.com.
Besides being a great friend, artist, writer, educator and entrepreneur, Scott is a visionary. You'll understand why that's so important as you listen to him talk about one of his most recognized images, "Cranes in the Fire Mist."
Click on the sound bar above and you'll hear an incredible story about Scott's quest to capture this image. And, to see more of Scott's work just click on the image to connect to his website. For educational information about Scott, visit Photofocus.com.

The Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency, or DARPA, makes really freaking cool horse-robots. Or spider-robots. I'm not sure what this thing resembles, but it's a human-sized robot that can now do more than trot along and get back up if it falls — it can stalk you.
The horse, otherwise known as Legged Squad Support System (LS3), comes out of a partnership between DARPA and the Marine Corps Warfighting Laboratory, as The Atlantic notes. It now listens to a "leader follow" command, which tells it to follow a target wherever it may go. A description on the YouTube video of LS3 says that its footing and ability to roll and get back up when it falls have also improved. This means it can stalk you in a number of different terrains.
Unfortunately, the horse isn't exactly quiet. Its gears and mechanical parts make a constant whizzing noise that is guaranteed to bring attention to it. That is, unless you're stalking someone in the Forest of White Noise, then you're good.
Of course, some might ask, why not just use a regular, quieter horse? Can a horse stalk your target and potentially be outfitted with cameras or maybe even weapons one day to take out that target? NOPE. Not unless it's Mister Ed, and really, the most spectacular thing we saw out of him was some advanced vocal cords.
Check out the video for more of what LS3 can do, including galloping and walking through tight hallways:

This image of the spiral staircase in the clock tower of Old City Hall was taken by Selden Richardson in 1999. Was the cast iron staircase produced by Asa Snyder and Co., the Richmond firm which provided the ironwork for the rest of the building? The building was completed in 1894 and designed by Elijah Myers of Detroit.
Selden's image of a great looking spiral staircase got us thinking - what other spiral stairs existed in Richmond?
Image of the factory and grounds of the Richmond Architectural Iron Works and Stove Company founded by Asa Snyder (1825-1884). The company was established in 1851 and continued through the early 1920s.
This image is a recent acquisition from eBay - it shows the staircase in Pratt's Castle, built by William Abbot Pratt in 1853 and demolished in 1956. The image is from a Chicago newspaper's photograph morgue acquired by the eBay seller. Was this iron staircase a product of Asa Snyder and Co. or another Richmond firm?
The reverse side of the staircase image from Pratt's Castle shows the caption by Wide World Photos used in February of 1946 in an undetermined Chicago newspaper.
Postcard image of Pratt's Castle, ca. 1910.
The building stood at 515 N. 5th Street and was built in 1849 by Conway Robinson (1805-1884), a lawyer and president of the R.F. and P. Railroad. Mary Wingfield Scott (1895-1983) wrote about the house in Old Richmond Neighborhoods, published in 1950.
She wrote:
"In the 'seventies [1870s] the Conway Robinson House, 515 North Seventh, was the home of general T. M. Logan. From 1883 to 1914 it served as the Presbyterian and Methodist Old Ladies' Home, and since then has been the headquarters of the Phyllis Wheatley (Negro) Branch of the Y.W.C.A. The house, probably designed by Henry Exall [a Richmond builder - more on him below] has been considerably altered by a mansard roof. The most striking feature of the interior is the spiral stair, which runs up to the third floor, and for this reason as well as its rather unattractive newel-post and trim may be contemporary with the mansard rather than the original construction. At present the stucco of the exterior is painted a staring white that contrasts disagreeably with the bright green woodwork."
- page 270, Old Richmond Neighborhoods (1950) by Mary Wingfield Scott.
She concluded that Henry Exall, active in Richmond 1845 through 1891, was the builder of the Conway Robinson House. Exall was a prolific builder - his obituary suggested that he had designed "fully one half of the houses built in Richmond prior to the War." He is the architect credited with designing Morson's Row on Governor's Street.

Like its predecessor, this no-holds-barred sequel from Hong Kong - a piece of ultra-exploitation adapted from the famed 17th century Chinese novel The Plum in the Golden Vase - attained instant notoriety for layering on graphic violence and sex in copious quantities. Lam Wai-Kin reprises his role as Simon Qing. In the prior installment, Qing had sex with a virginal nun, then bedded a concubine, Lotus (Serina Hayakawa) and conspired with her to rub out her dwarf husband, Wu Da-Lang (Ng Chi-Hung). This time around, Simon ostensibly still has relationships with both of the said women but has regressed into a sex addict with fetishistic leanings. As the story unfurls, he attempts to ravish many more women, including his friend Hua Xizu's (Tam Kon-Chung) wife Pinky (Kaera Uehara), whose husband he plans to murder while he's at it. At about the same time, Wu Song (Wu Qing-Zhe), the brother of the murdered Wu Da-Lang, schemes to off Simon. Simon sees it coming but doesn't count on Wu ... Written by Chen Siong

In April 2010, there is no oil exploration operation in the Gulf of Mexico to compare with the Deepwater Horizon oil rig with its size or sheer depth of its drilling. However, the project for the BP oil company is beset with technical difficulties to the point where the general operational supervisor, Jimmy Harrell, and his Chief Electrical Engineer, Mike Williams, are concerned potentially dangerous trouble is brewing. Unfortunately, visiting BP executives, frustrated by the project's long delays, order curtailed site inspections and slanted system tests to make up for lost time even as Harrell, Williams and his team helplessly protest for the sake of proper safety. On April 20, the workers' fears are realized in the worst possible way when the rig's various structural and system flaws spark a catastrophic cascade of failures that would create a massive blowout and explosion that threatens them all, even as it also begins the worst environmental disaster in US history.

During their marriage, Mike can only whine about the life he lost because he married her, so she throws him out. When he also loses his job, he returns to the only place he's happy at, his old high school. While looking at his high school photo, a janitor asks him if he wishes he could be 17 again and he says yes. One night while driving he sees the janitor on a bridge ready to jump, and goes after him. When he returns to his friend Ned's house, where he has been staying, he sees that he is 17 again. He decides to take this opportunity to get the life he lost. Written by firstname.lastname@example.com
On April 15, 2013 Boston, Massachusetts, Police Sgt, Tommy Saunders is pulling security duty on the annual Boston Marathon when the Tsarnaev brothers strike with their homemade bombs in an act of terrorism. In the resulting chaos as the wounded are cared for, Saunders and his comrades join forces with the FBI to get to the bottom of this attack. As the investigation continues, the Tsarnaev brothers realize that the authorities are close to identifying them and attempt to flee the city to continue their fanatical mayhem. To stop them, a police manhunt is performed that would have bloody confrontations and a massive dragnet shutting down the City of Boston to make sure there is no escape from the law.

A billionaire software-genius named Harold Finch creates a Machine for the government that is designed to detect acts of terror before they can happen, by monitoring the entire world through every cell-phone, email and surveillance camera. Finch discovered that the machine sees everything, potential terrorist acts and violent crimes that involve ordinary people. When the government considered violent crimes between normal people irrelevant, Finch built a back door into the system that gives him the social security number of a person involved in a future violent crime so he could act. Partnered with John Reese, an ex-CIA agent, the two work in secret to prevent violent crimes before they can happen. Eventually their activities lead to being hunted by the New York Police Department, CIA Agents in pursuit of Reese who was listed as dead, a computer hacker named Root who wants access to the Machine, and government officials who want to keep all knowledge of the Machine a complete secret.

Marbury is not looking to pass here.
The city with the biggest rep for point guards is not representing in an era where the point guard has more freedom than ever in the NBA. Ever since the hand-checking rules were put in place, the NBA game has changed from a post-up, half-court isolation-play dominated style to one that favors the fast break and even more, point guards who can break defenders down off the bounce, penetrate and score or dish. Extra points go to those point guards who can shoot it from deep because they force defenders further from the basket, giving they and their teammates more space in which to operate. See Deron Williams, Steven Nash, Chauncey Billups, Chris Paul and Steph Curry. We are in an era of shooting, scoring point guards. With a few exceptions (Rajon Rondo, Jason Kidd, Andre Miller) the best point guards shoot to set up the drive and dish. The typical point guard these days brings the ball up, but more often than not hangs around the three-point line to stretch the defense. His role is to knock down jumpers on ball rotations more than to drive and set up teammates. Think Mo Williams, Jameer Nelson, Derek Fisher, Mike Bibby, Beno Udrih.
And maybe that's the rub with New York City point guards and their abdication of the throne: They can't shoot a lick and, for the most part, never have. NBA teams prefer points who pose at least a modicum of a threat from outside.
NYC's NBA point guards (and their career field goal percentage):
Mount Rushmore
Bob Cousy (.375 --It was all about the pass for the Houdini of the Hardwood)
Lenny Wilkens (.432 --Had they invented the jumper when Wilkens played?)
Tiny Archibald (.467 --Tiny was ahead of his time: a scoring point guard and could shoot from anywhere)
Mark Jackson (.447 --Jackson's percentage is only this high because he feasted on smaller point guards in the low post. He was an ugly outside shooter.)
Cousy set the mold of the pass-first, shoot-worst NYC point guard.
Other Past PGs of Note
Rod Strickland (.454 --Like Jackson, Strick scored far more in the post than from deep. He was a terrible 3-point shooter)
Kenny Anderson (.421 --Couldn't shoot but had crazy quicks)
Pearl Washington (.452 --Great point guard for 'Cuse but lasted just three years in the NBA)
Kenny Smith (.480 --An exception to the rule. The Jet was the opposite of most NYC point guards: great shooter, average handles and passing)
The Not So Current Crop
Stephon Marbury (.433 --Marbury's cringe-worthy jumper never impeded his willingness to chuck it)
Rafer Alston (.383 --Fans have turned to stone watching his jumper)
Jamaal Tinsley (.395 --Classic NYC PG: Sick handles, tough as hell, poisonous jumper and a complete knucklehead)
Sebastian Telfair (.390 --Ugh.)
Erick Barkley (.356 in just 27 NBA games)
Omar Cook (.333 in 22 NBA games. St. Johns doesn't make em like they used to)
So what's the deal? Why are New York City point guards traditionally such poor jumpshooters? Thanks to this article in today's New York Times, we have an answer. It's the blacksmith's fault! The schoolyard and playground rims are made by John Fitzgerald, city welder, and his crew. While the rims are strong enough to last through the Apocalypse, if you grow up shooting on them, your jumper won't survive high school. If you are short and want to score on courts with these rims, you had better figure out how to get close in because that jumper has to be dead solid perfect to drop through. It is hardly surprising, then, to find that New York City point guards are especially adept at driving their way to those dolomite rims. Conversely, if jumpshots are a bad offensive option, it is easy to understand why these same point guards don't develop this skill and are, as a rule, crappy shooters.
Fitzie thinks jumpshots (and breakaway rims) are for pussies. Wanna fight about it?
Now, these days the top NYC preps are playing indoors on AAU teams and never deal with John Fitzgerald's rims. So, why would they continue to be poor jump-shooters? More than that, why would their shooting get even worse? The last group of point guards listed above are the most recent NYC points to play in the Association and they are by far the worst shooters. Why? Perhaps because after years of stylistic evolution, what defines an elite point guard in New York has crystallized into great ball-handling and heroic lay-ups in traffic. The local hero point guards you aspire to be as a young player in New York are great dribblers, finishers and passers; not great shooters. In short, though Fitzgerald's rims aren't used at the most elite levels of prep basketball, their cultural legacy is very much in play.

This year, as Nestlé celebrates its 150th anniversary, we look back and see the beginnings of our conviction that, for a company to be successful over the long term and create value for shareholders, it must create value for society. Today, we call this Creating Shared Value (CSV).
We first published our societal commitments in 2012, and now have 39, derived directly from our CSV focus areas. These commitments clearly present our strategy and the standards to which we hold ourselves accountable.They take into account the views of our stakeholders with whom we meet regularly, to listen and learn from their criticisms and encouragement.
We aim to link CSV with the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), particularly in areas where we believe we can contribute meaningfully. We are pleased that the SDGs call for a multi-stakeholder approach and are ready to assume our responsibilities in support of their implementation.

Chairman Nestlé SA
Chief Executive Officer Nestlé SA
Welcome to our Nestlé in Society: Creating Shared Value 2015 report. A lot has changed since our last report – both across our business, and the broader external environment within which we operate.
Externally, the pressures of our increasingly globalised world continue to create new challenges for us as global citizens; from civil unrest leading to mass migration, to natural climatic disasters disrupting access to basic provisions such as food and water; to the burden of obesity and other non-communicable diseases on society and on national health services.
Encouraging steps are being taken to address these megatrends. 2015 proved to be a particularly significant year in terms of global action, with the launch of the Sustainable Development Goals in September, followed by the successful Paris COP21 negotiations in December. Such historic moments serve both to shine a light on the importance of the issues at hand and present an explicit call to action for governments, business and society alike to address them.
Here in the UK & Ireland, we have seen the development and roll-out of the Living Wage, the Modern Slavery Act legislation come into effect, and increasing focus on the uptake and harnessing of renewable energy technologies both by business and consumers in the broader fight against climate change.
Within Nestlé in the UK & Ireland, we have made a number of significant strides. As part of our global commitment to the RE100 initiative, we have achieved 100% grid supplied, renewable electricity use across all our operating sites and factories in the UK & Ireland. We will continue to make investments in the area of renewable energy, as part of our continued commitment to reducing carbon emissions across our business by 40% by 2020.
Within our confectionary business, and as part of our global commitments under the Nestlé Cocoa Plan, we achieved a milestone moment, with all of the chocolate made and sold within the UK & Ireland now being made from 100% certified sustainable cocoa. We will continue to work with our partners to build the capacity of local farming businesses, in order to support the sustainable development of rural communities and continue to bring our customers the products they know and enjoy.
When it comes to public health, I genuinely believe that the food manufacturing industry is well placed to address the challenge – through our reformulation efforts, transparent labelling, workplace health, consumer education campaigns and ever more responsible marketing practices. We also recognise that UK public health policy is evolving quickly. From a Nestlé perspective, we believe the policy environment should establish a level playing field, support investment in innovation, and encourage responsible business.
We recognise that we alone cannot bring about the transformational change needed to address some of the world's most pressing social and environmental issues. Collaboration is key, and so we continue to work closely with NGOs, research institutions, industry partners and other stakeholders. Ongoing partnerships such as our work with Sheffield Hallam University on the development of energy-efficient heating technologies for our factories, to our support of the initiative Phunky Foods, which promotes the benefits of healthy lifestyles and balanced diets in primary schools, play a vital role in enabling us to create shared value for both business and society.
As a global company with a local footprint, we believe that being a responsible corporate citizen means truly embedding the values of sustainability across our business and throughout our value chain. By putting the issues that matter most to society at the heart of how we operate, and by aligning these with our business values and strategic decision-making processes, we believe we can continue to have a positive impact, not just on our own business but on society as a whole.
Looking ahead, our direction is clear. We will continue to work to uphold our responsibilities to all our stakeholders. We will continue to seek out new opportunities to collaborate with our partners in the development of innovative products, ideas and solutions. And we will continue to engage with the people around us, our stakeholders, and communicate our progress as part of our continued journey as Nestlé in Society.

Karyomorphological information is one of the most important characters for cytotaxonomy. We described karyomorphology of 14 species of Parnassia in East Asia. They had commonly the resting chromosomes of the simple chromocenter type and the mitotic prophase chromosomes of the proximal type. The somatic chromosome number of was shown in three species, that of was shown in six species, that of or 36 was shown in two species, that of was shown in one species, that of or 36+ s was shown in one species, and that of , 27, 36 or 45 was shown in one species. They were commonly monomodal (gradual) decrease in length from the largest to the smallest chromosomes. However, their absolute chromosome sizes were different from each other. Average chromosome sizes were recognized as three types small (1.21 μm), medium (1.7–2.36 μm), and large (3.1–3.75 μm). Parnassia palustris showed four cytotypes that could be likely cytogeographically correlated with habitats, polyploidy, and sizes of pollen grains.
1. Introduction
The genus Parnassia L., traditionally classified in the monotypic subfamily Parnassioideae, the family Saxifragaceae sensu lato [1], is currently placed in the family Parnassiaceae, closely related to Saxifragaceae in the order Celastrales [2, 3]. The genus Parnassia consists of approximately 70 species [4], that are perennial herbs and grow in wet grassy plains and forests in the temperate to arctic regions of the Northern Hemisphere. Among the species of this genus, 63 species are found in China [4], five species are distributed in Russia [5] of which four species are common to China and Russia, and three species grow in Japan [6].
The chromosome numbers of 33 species of Parnassia have been documented as , 27, 32, 33, 34, 35, 36, 37, 36 + 1~8s, 43, 44, 45, 48, and 54 including intraspecific polyploid and aneupoid (e.g., [24, 28–35]; Table 1).
The present study contributes cytological data for the species of Parnassia, mainly in its East Asian distribution range, and based on karyomorphology with respect to resting nuclei, mitotic prophase chromosomes and the mitotic metaphase chromosomes, the distribution of intraspecific polyploidy and aneuploidy, and cytogeographic patterns.
2. Materials and Methods
Total 400 samples of 14 species of Parnassia were collected in 75 localities in Russia, Mongolia, China, and Japan (Figure 1; Table 2) and were brought and cultivated in pots in shade place in the experimental garden of Showa Pharmaceutical University. Somatic chromosome observations were made in meristematic cells of fresh root tips. They were pretreated in 2 mM 8-hydroxyquinoline at ca 20°C for 4 hours and then fixed in 45% acetic acid at ca 2°C for 10 minutes. They were macerated in a mixture of 45% acetic acid and 1 N hydrochloric acid (1 : 1) at ca 60°C for 20–23 seconds and were then stained with 2% aceto-orcein at room temperature in moist chamber with 45% acetic acid for ca 30 minutes and were prepared by the conventional squash method. Measurements of chromosomes in 14 species were made in each average length in several good metaphase cells.
Morphological types of the resting and the mitotic prophase chromosomes were classified for Tanaka [36, 37], and the classification of mitotic metaphase chromosomes followed Levan et al. [38]. Taxonomical treatment followed Czerepanov [5], Ku and Hultgård [4], and Akiyama [6]. The voucher specimens of the plants used in this study were deposited in Funamoto's Herbarium in Showa Pharmaceutical University.
3. Results and Discussion
3.1. Resting Nuclei and Mitotic Prophase Chromosomes
Fourteen species of Parnassia in East Asian (Table 2) had common karyomorphological characters in the resting and the mitotic prophase chromosomes: the resting chromosomes were classified as the simple chromocenter type which had several small heteropycnotic bodies per nucleus according to Tanaka [36, 37], and the mitotic prophase chromosomes were classified as the proximal type in which the early condensed segments were confined to the proximal regions of both short and long arms or short arm, showing clear condensation transition from the proximal to the distal regions (Tanaka [36, 37]; Figure 2). There was no difference in the resting and the mitotic prophase chromosome types among in these 14 species, thus it was concluded that the genus Parnassia had the simple chromocenter types at the resting nucleus and the proximal types at the mitotic prophase chromosomes.
3.2. The Mitotic Metaphase Chromosomes
Chromosome numbers in 33 species of Parnassia were from to (Table 1). Three species had the somatic chromosome number of , five species had that of , one species had that of , and the other 24 species had that of . Intraspecific polyploids were found in P. oreophylla, P. viridiflora, P. laxmannii, P. palustris, and P. obtusiflora, while intraspecific aneuploids were found in P. bifolia, P. wightiana, P. glauca, and P. palustris (Table 1). Particularly, Parnassia palustris had various chromosome numbers from to 54 (e.g., [34, 35]; Table 1). Parnassia brevistyla (Figure 3(j)), P. delavayi (Figure 3(k)), and P. wightiana (Figure 3(n)) had , P. scaposa var. yushuensis (Figure 3(b)), P. aff. cacuminum f. yushuensis (Figure 3(c)), P. trinervis (Figure 3(f)), P. laxmannii (Figure 3(i)), P. alpicola (Figure 3(l)), and P. foliosa (Figure 3(o)) had , P. oreophylla (Figures 3(d) and 3(e)) and P. viridiflora (Figures 3(g) and 3(h)) had and 36, P. palustris had , 27, 36, and 45 (Figures 3(p)–3(s)), P. yunnanensis var. longistipitata had (Figure 3(a)), and P. bifolia had and 36 + 1~8s (Figures 3(m) and 4). Parnassia palustris in a plant collected in Scandinavia by Hultgård [20] and Lövkvist and Hultgård [21] was very rarely documented to have the chromosome numbers of and 45. The chromosome number of for P. wightiana [13] was different from the previous counts of [17] and [18], while that of P. glauca was also different from the previous count of [19]. Thus, these two species are necessary to have more cytological studies. A peculiar chromosome number of for Chinese species of Parnassia was reported by Funamoto et al. [10, 13] and Ding et al. [7]. The chromosome number of was previously reported in four North American species of Parnassia such as P. gandifolia, P. caroliniana, P. asarifolia, and P. glauca by Gastony and Soltis [18] and that was also found in Chinese species [8].
Aneuploid chromosome numbers of for P. bifolia could include supernumerary chromosomes since these aneuploid plants had high pollen stainabilities (87.5–98.6%).
3.3. Chromosome Sizes and Basic Chromosome Numbers
Morphological characters of chromosomes in chromosome numbers, chromosome sizes, chromosome complements in centromeric positions, and chromosome alignment from the longest to the shortest one are important information for cytotaxonomy. The chromosome number of was considered diploid , that of was considered tetraploid , and that of and 36 was considered diploid and tetraploid , respectively, if these basic chromosome numbers of , 8, and 9 were accepted. Plants of the basic chromosome number of are found in China, those of are found in China and North America, and those of are commonly found in the world. Their karyotypes had commonly monomodal gradation in chromosome length from the longest to the shortest chromosomes and had median and submedian centromeric chromosomes, rarely median, submedian, and subterminal centromeric chromosomes (Table 3; Figure 5). Thus, Parnassia could be divided by four groups at least from chromosome characters mentioned above. (1) Small-sized and median-centromeric chromosomes ranged from 1.6 to 1.0 μm long with average 1.21 μm long, and had the base number of . (2) Medium-sized and median- and submedian-centromeric chromosomes ranged from 2.8 to 1.9 μm long with average 2.29 μm long and had the base number of . (3) Large-sized and median- and submedian-centromeric chromosomes ranged from 3.6 to 2.7 μm long with average 3.10 μm long and had the base number of . (4) Medium-sized and median-, submedian-, and subterminal-centromeric chromosomes ranged from 2.3 to 1.4 μm long with average 1.91 μm long, and had the base number of . These cytotaxonomical groupings were not agreed with the taxonomical treatment by Ku [39]. More cytological information and another new technique are necessary to clarify and justify the cytosystematic relationships of Parnassia.
3.4. Intraspecific Polyploid and Aneuploid
Intraspecific polyploid of and 36 for P. oreophylla, P. viridiflora, and P. laxmannii, and that of , 27, 36, 45, and 54 for P. palustris were reported, especially this polyploidy for P. palustris was found in Scandinavia [20, 21] and Great Britain [34, 35], and and 45 chromosomes were also found in Russia [22, 23]. For example, 156 samples of this species were collected in 23 localities in Altai Mountains, Tuva and Krasunoyarsk region in Russia, of which 113 samples (72.4%) in 18 sites had chromosomes, 12 samples (7.7%) in three sites had chromosomes, 29 samples (18.6%) in five sites had chromosomes, and two samples (1.3%) in one site had chromosomes (Figure 6; [22, 23]; Funamoto and Smirnov unpublished).
According to pollen stainability and sizes of pollen grains of Parnassia palustris, plants of and 36 had high pollen stainabilities (81.4–98.2%), while those of and 45 had very low pollen stainabilities (0.74–0.85%). Sizes of pollen grains of the species were 27.3–30.3 μm × 25.8–28.1 μm in plants of 2n=18, 30.1–32.5 μm × 27.6–30.2 μm in plants of , and 31.8–33.6 μm × 30.1–31.3 μm in plants of , respectively. Significant t-test in sizes of pollen grains showed significant difference between the plants of and with and levels, respectively. Sizes of pollen grains could be correlated with polyploid levels [22, 23]. Similar results were reported with Japanese Deutzia crenata [40–42] and Japanese Hydrangea paniculata [43].
The plants with the chromosome number of were commonly found along the vegetation edges such as in the disturbed riverine, forest meadows and tundra in Russian and Mongolian Altai, and Tuva in Russia, those with the chromosome number of were found in placid lake side and together with the plants of the chromosome number in Russian Altai, while those with the chromosome number of were commonly found in narrow stream in mountain slope and mountain meadows in Russian Altai and Krasnoyarsk Region in Russia, and those with the chromosome number of were rarely found together with the plants with the chromosome number of in Russian Altai. Thus, Parnassia palustris in Altai Mountains and adjacent regions in Russia seemed one of the well-diversified species with respect to chromosome characters. These cytological phenomena speculated that the two plant strains with the chromosome numbers of and might be isolated by pollination between nondisjunction diploid gametes producing diploid and tetraploid ovules (2x and 4x) and normal male gamete for diploid pollen (x), since any plant with the chromosome number of has never been found within the populations of the plants with the chromosome number of . This factor might be caused by various geographical conditions and extremes of climate temperature [22, 23].
The authors wish to express sincere appreciation to Professor Dr. Joan Vallés, Barceona University for a long-term leadership of the field of chromosome botany and to commemorate his celebration of retirement. They thank many Chinese, Russian, and Mongolian botanists for guiding their field trips and identifying plant materials.

More than 500 residents packed into the student campus center at Rutgers University in Newark today to listen to what many afterward called the most unique talk they had ever attended.
The lecture was delivered by Grammy award winner-turned-historian Bernice Johnson Reagon, the keynote speaker for this year's Marion Thompson Wright Lecture Series, an annual Black history event.
Reagon spoke about mourning those who died during the civil rights movement. Over the course of an hour, she alternated between speaking and singing, filling the hushed room with her powerful voice.
"No bomb can kill the dreams I hold, freedom never dies," she sang, as she spoke about Harry Moore, a civil rights leader who was killed in 1951 when a bomb exploded beneath his Florida home.
Organizers said today's turnout was a record high in the event's 28-year history. The series, launched in 1981, is dedicated to pioneering female historian and East Orange native Marion Thompson Wright.
"Our goal every year is to present something a little more in-depth and thought-provoking, and that addresses meaty issues that affect African-Americans today," said Carla Capizzi, an event coordinator.
Also speaking at the event were John Vlach, a professor at George Washington University; Kim Lacy Rogers, a professor at Dickinson College in Pennsylvania; and Juanita Moore, president and chief executive officer at the Charles H. Wright Museum in Detroit.

Latvia's top division team Ventspils have secured the services of Nigeria youth international on a three year deal after a short trial according to reports exclusively gathered by owngoalnigeria.com.
Ventspils campaigned in the qualifiers for the group stage of the UEFA champions League but failed to make the group stage losing 1-4 on aggregate to HJK Helsinki of Finland.
Alfa impressed the technical crew of the third placed team in Latvia and coach Paul Ashworth who have working experience in Nigeria as a coach in Kwara State and was one time technical director of Glo Premier League side Sunshine Stars gave his blessings to the signing of the 19 year old who played an integral part in Nigeria lifting the 2013 U-17 World cup in UAE.
He narrowly missed out on the team that went to the U-20 World Youth Championship in New Zealand after playing in almost all of the team qualifiers and one game at the Africa edition.
Known for his vision and tireless work rate in the midfield, an ownership tussle prevented him from joining Genk of Belgium shortly after the U-17 World cup and after failed attempts to secure a club in Sweden,Norway and Portugal he will now turn up for the Latvian side who will formally announce his signing after receiving his International Transfer Certificate (ITC) from the Nigeria Football Federation latest tommorow.

J.R.R. Tolkien's Middle Earth saga continues in 2011 on PC, PS3 and Xbox 360 with the release of Snowblind Studios' action-RPG, The Lord of the Rings: War in the North. Based on events mentioned in the novels and included in Tolkien's annotations, War in the North reveals the full details of a battle few know, but one that helped shape the fight against Sauron.
The first M-rated (17+) Lord of the Rings title, War in the North uses elements of the books and the films. That means you can expect some of the film actors' likenesses (and perhaps voices) as well as elements of Middle Earth never shown in the movies.
This news and more in the Daily Fix.
- New LOTR Game Announced
Up to three players can join forces online to battle Sauron's army with "interdependent co-op play." Expect some of the staples of RPG gaming, including upgradeable skills, weapons and abilities. Grinding has not been confirmed.
Little else is known about War in the North, but the debut trailer suggests it's going to kick ass.

Spiritwood is a town in the boreal forest of central Saskatchewan, Canada with a population of approximately 1,000. Its location is 125 km west of Prince Albert and about 110 km northeast of North Battleford at the junction of Highway 3, Highway 24 and Highway 376. As the largest community in the region, the community functions as the major supply, service, and administrative headquarters for the trading area population which includes several First Nation reserves including Witchekan Lake, Big River and Pelican Lake.
The district began to be settled around 1911–12; however, growth in the area was slow until the coming of the railway in the late 1920s. The first settlers primarily engaged in ranching. The Spiritwood post office, which had been established in 1923, was named after Spiritwood Lake, North Dakota, the hometown of the first postmaster, Rupert J. Dumond.[4] After the railway arrived, settlers of diverse origins poured into the district and many businesses were established.[5] On October 1, 1935, Spiritwood was incorporated as a village and, by September 1, 1965, the community had grown large enough to attain town status.[5]
This was the scene of the two deaths of RCMP officers in 2006, where after a 12-day manhunt, the suspect surrendered without incident.[6]

Mixed farming predominates and consists primarily of grain production. A Spiritwood company with global connections that focuses on pig genetics, producing breeding stock and commercial swine, has roughly 50 employees. There is some forestry in the region north of Spiritwood.
The town has a complete range of recreational facilities.
Once renowned as hometown of the annual Silverbuckle Rodeo, a mid-summer attraction for many years, the grandstands are no more. "SpiritFest" is held annually in August. Spiritwood Museum is open seasonally throughout the summer months. The museum showcases the community's history, including an exhibition of antique farm tractors all freshly restored and in running condition. Campground facilities available with 12 sites (electrical hookups, water, and new black water dump installed in 2015) are conveniently located within walking distance of the community Tourist Booth and downtown shopping.
Spiritwood is located in the centre of an area that features six golf courses (three grass greens and three sand greens), six regional parks and 35 lakes, all within a 60-minute drive. The lakes have excellent fishing for perch, walleye, pike and trout. Its close proximity to an abundance of lakes and parks enhance the quality of life with camping, boating, fishing, golfing, hunting, cross country skiing, snowmobiling and hiking.
There is sewer/water capacity for 1,500 residents to allow for 50% community growth. Free Wi-Fi, Cellular service and Cable television are available.
There is no bus service available either to or from Spiritwood, so that with the railway gone and grain elevators closed, all bulk commodities including fertilizers, fuel, grain and livestock are transported by truck. Hwy 3, Hwy 24 and Hwy 376 provide access.
Spiritwood Airport (TC LID: CKH7), now defunct, was an uncontrolled public grass strip operated by Town of Spiritwood.
Leoville Airport (TC LID CJT9), is available 32 km north of Spiritwood, located 2 NM (3.7 km // 2.3 mi) west of Leoville, Saskatchewan. This is a public airport operated by the Village of Leoville with two runways. (Runway Direction 12/30; Length 2,400 ft // 732 m; Surface GRAVEL. Runway Direction 16/34; Length 3,400 ft // 1,036 m; Surface TREATED GRAVEL).
Health Care[edit]
Northern Lakes Health Committee (NLHC), an energetic volunteer group, was set up at Spiritwood in May 2010 with directors selected to represent each of the surrounding communities, organizing fundraising events to support a physician recruitment initiative through a subcommittee.
Since 2006, Spiritwood & District Health Complex was closed "temporarily", leaving the community at large without acute care facilities. Completed in the fall of 2001, this modern $3.6 million facility encompasses approximately 8,000 square feet (740 m2) of new construction and 4,400 square feet (410 m2) of renovated space which is linked to the former Spiritwood Hospital and Idylwild Lodge to serve as one integrated facility.
Primary Care Services: Daytime only (Monday to Friday from 8AM to 7PM, Saturdays 10AM to 4PM) Primary Care Services by Nurse Practitioner/Physician and/or other resident and/or visiting professionals, are available by appointment (306-883-4400) at Spiritwood Health Complex, but subject to change due to weather or illness. Laboratory collection and X-rays limited to chest and extremities are available from 8:30 AM to 4:30 PM (closed from 12 to 12:30 PM). Spiritwood Collaborative Emergency Care Centre is open Monday to Friday 8AM to 8PM and Saturday 8AM to 4:30PM with a physician or Nurse Practitioner, and Saturday 4:30 to 8PM and Sunday and statutory holidays 8AM to 8PM with a Registered Nurse only. There is no urgent / emergency care available in Spiritwood at night after 8PM.
The Parkland Integrated Health Centre at Shellbrook, Saskatchewan, with five physicians in Shellbrook, supported by two physicians from Spiritwood, providing 24-hour on-call coverage, is the nearest emergency department to Spiritwood and is located (82 km eastwards on Saskatchewan Highway Route #3).
Victoria Hospital (PAPHR Regional Health Centre) is located at Prince Albert, Saskatchewan (125 km eastwards on Saskatchewan Highway Route #3).
Spiritwood Ambulance Care Ltd is a contracted agency serving Spiritwood and district and available 24-hours/day to transport local emergency patients to the nearest available hospital for treatment. This agency also provides training to PAPHR First Responders and offers a variety of classes in First Aid and CPR.

Narrator: "… Fishing was once a cornerstone of British Columbia's economy, but we've been hearing stories of diminished runs and out of work fishermen for years. Roy Hales lives on Cortes Island, where the fishing industry seems to be mostly spoken about in the past tense. So he set out to find out where have all the salmon gone."

|Kiwifruit (Actinidia deliciosa)
Order: Ericales
Kiwifruit or mangüeyo (Actinidia deliciosa) is a fruiting vine native to southern China, the fruit of which has been declared the national fruit of that country. Other species of Actinidia are also found in China and range east to Japan and north into southeastern Siberia. The russet-brown skin of the fruits is densely covered with short, stiff, brown hairs. The flesh is firm until fully ripened; it is glistening, juicy and luscious. The color of the flesh is bright-green, or sometimes yellow, brownish or off-white, except for the white, succulent center from which radiate many fine, pale lines. The flavor is subacid to quite acid; the flavor is suggested to be similar to that of the gooseberry or strawberry.

(like the fats) in various ways to produce even more resulting molecules. Amongst the
molecules produced are the melanoidins – these are coloured and help contribute to the
brown colour of cooked meats. It is the large combination of all these different molecules that
gives the cooked meat its brown colour, taste and smell. The final taste perceived with a piece
of cooked meat depends on the profile of all the different molecules produced, and their
concentrations. For example, the aroma of roast beef contains over 600 component
molecules. In general, the Maillard reaction occurs most rapidly at approximately 150-250 °C,
but if there is a high concentration of sugars and amino acids, then it will occur at lower
4) Temperature higher than 65°C are needed to totally melt the fat during cooking that lubricates
the muscle fibres, keeping the meat moist.
So meat which is cooked at 65°C to maximise the juiciness, has associated effects that may not be
favourable. The meat will have an elevated bacterial risk, less taste due to reduced Maillard reactions,
and less fat lubrication. It will also remain fairly tough after cooking if it had a high original collagen
Quick high temperature cooking
Meat cooked at very high temperatures will have a lower bacterial risk, more fat lubrication, better
collagen breakdown, more taste; but will rapidly become tough and dry is cooking time is long.
A compromise: Often, the best compromise is too cook the meat at a very high temperature, for a very
short time (to ensure bacteria are killed and that Maillard reactions can occur), and if it is a large cut of
meat to finish the cooking in a very low temperature oven.
Finally, there is not one sole recommended technique for cooking all meats, like for eggs of
vegetables, because different cuts of meat differ greatly in their structure and tissue composition, and
thus different pieces of meats are suitable to different cooking techniques.
· The old tough cuts: Old, tougher cuts of meat that are high in collagen need to be cooked for

Weight: The machine weighs only 18 lbs but the all metal case weighs 10lbs making the combination feel heavier than one would think.
Speed Control: The knee control isn't hard to get used to but I think I would miss the fine control of the foot pedal.
Presser foot: The presser foot uses the short shank but there is NO WAY TO ADJUST THE PRESSURE! Now, anyone using it for any fabrics I think would never miss it, however, for leather you often need to wind up the tension because the leather grips the needle on the way out and can lift the foot.
Bobbin load: The bobbin is standard but the access is not; you have to learn the tricks of finger placement and what things look like when it's correct. Without a great deal of inspection and contemplation you would never see the details of how the thread comes out of the tension spring, but once correct it is there for good. Just like the Lotus the bobbin thread tension is made to be adjusted instead of the "Oh my, what have I done" method used on all other machines.
Sewing: Having a rub wheel instead of a pulley I expected that the start up would be terrible, but no, it is quite good, even thru leather. The hand wheel however takes getting used to. It is a noisy machine, this may be (like the 301) a function partly of being made of aluminum?
It's an easy machine to thread the upper and the thread tension are easy to use. I can see why the following is so strong it is a nice clean machine. I don't have the discs but I don't care for anything but straight, ZZ, and left & right of center, these are what I need and use.
For my automotive reference nothing could come closer than the irreverent SAAB 96; different in every way loved by its fans, laughed at by the uninformed. I of course had two of these little gems in my younger days. It is Swedish not Swiss and 70's not 50's illustrating again how Elna was ahead of its time. The 96 really is crazy and that's why we love it. It was a North / South front engine, front wheel drive, had those large diameter wheels, a V4 Ford tractor engine, had lots of interior space, and was Spartan, just to name a few. Revered for its toughness it was the go to choice for Moto-Cross in Europe back in its day.
