Plants require trace levels of manganese (Mn) for survival, as it is an essential cofactor in oxygen metabolism, especially O2 production via photosynthesis and the disposal of superoxide radicals. These processes occur in specialized organelles, requiring membrane-bound intracellular transporters to partition Mn between cell compartments. We identified an Arabidopsis thaliana member of the NRAMP family of divalent metal transporters, NRAMP2, which functions in the intracellular distribution of Mn. Two knockdown alleles of NRAMP2 showed decreased activity of photosystem II and increased oxidative stress under Mn-deficient conditions, yet total Mn content remained unchanged. At the subcellular level, these phenotypes were associated with a loss of Mn content in vacuoles and chloroplasts. NRAMP2 was able to rescue the mitochondrial yeast mutant mtm1∆. In plants, NRAMP2 is a resident protein of the trans-Golgi network. NRAMP2 may act indirectly on downstream organelles by building up a cytosolic pool that is used to feed target compartments. Moreover, not only does the nramp2 mutant accumulate superoxide ions, but NRAMP2 can functionally replace cytosolic superoxide dismutase in yeast, indicating that the pool of Mn displaced by NRAMP2 is required for the detoxification of reactive oxygen species.

Christians versus Muslims in Central African Republic
Articles on current events in the Central African Republic (CAR) suchas the one I posted two days agooften generate a great deal of commentary. Last year, Muslim Selekamilitias killed tens of thousands of Christians and drove 400,000 fromtheir homes. This year, Christian anti-balaka militias haveretaliated with vengeance, massacring hundreds of thousands ofMuslims and driving millions more from their homes — so far.Muslims are just 15% of CAR's population, and some anti-balaka leadersare promising to kill every Muslim that doesn't flee the country.This is a fact. I may not like this fact, and you may not like thisfact, but it's a fact nonetheless.
One response is to say that the Christians in CAR are just defendingthemselves from the Muslims. I won't disagree with that, except tosay that anti-balaka leaders saying that they're going to kill all theMuslims seems to me to cross the line from self-defense into genocide.
Another standard response is to say that the Christians in CAR aren'treally Christians. This is the same response often given to the factthat millions of Christian Church-going Nazis attempted to exterminatethe Jews. According to this response, the Holocaust happened becauseHitler wasn't really a Christian. Well, my understanding is that ifyou've been baptized in Christ, then you're a Christian, and thatthere's no further litmus test. But OK, let's ignore that.
This response is very hard to defend, because you would also have toclaim that all those millions of church-going Nazis were also notChristian. But OK, let's ignore that.
Question: How do you know that Hitler and the Nazis weren't Christian?Answer: Because they perpetrated the Holocaust. So this is circularreasoning. Christians didn't commit the Holocaust because Nazisweren't Christians, and Nazis weren't Christians because theycommitted the Holocaust. But OK, let's ignore even all thoseproblems.
OK, so let's just accept that explanation: Hitler and the Nazisweren't Christian, because they perpetrated the Holocaust.
Who's at fault for the Holocaust?
But now you have another problem, because the same argument can beturned against you. The Muslim jihadists are killing some Christians,but they're mostly killing other Muslims — millions and millions ofMuslims. The same is true of Bashar al-Assad's genocide against Sunniwomen and children. You can claim that the Koran justifies thesekillings, but it doesn't. The Koran may or may not justify killingChristians (it's debatable) and other "infidels," but what thejihadists and al-Assad are doing is killing Muslims — and that'sclearly a violation of the Koran. And so the same reasoningthat people use to say Nazis weren't really Christians can beused to say that the jihadists aren't really Muslims.
In other words, if Hitler wasn't a real Christian, then Osama binLaden wasn't a real Muslim, for the same reason.
And so, if you can't blame Christians for the Holocaust becauseHitler wasn't a real Christian, then you can't blame Muslims for 9/11,because OBL wasn't a real Muslim.
Lots of people point to the fact that most massacres being conductedtoday are by Muslims, albeit mostly to other Muslims. That'scertainly true. All you have to do is look at Pakistan or Syria, forexample, to see it happen.
But I think there's a more interesting question. Let's turn thequestion around. Instead of asking why Muslims are most oftenthe perpetrators of massacres, let's ask instead why Muslimsare most often the victims of massacres. Muslims are the victimsof massacres by Muslims in Pakistan and Syria, by Buddhistsin Myanmar (Burma), and by Christians in Central African Republic.
What is there about this particular point in history that makesMuslims the most massacred group in the world? From the point of viewof generational theory, that's a very interesting question. Muslimsare the most massacred people in the world today. Why is that?
Some people would say that the reason that Muslims are the mostmassacred people in the world today is because a lot of the world isangry for terrorist acts like 9/11. Once again, that reason would bedifficult to defend, because it doesn't explain why Muslims aremassacring Muslims.
War and Peace
In his monumental book War and Peace, Leo Tolstoy recountsNapoleon's invasion of Russia. But Tolstoy is completely stumped andfrustrated about why the war occurred at all, especially because thepeople on both sides were Christians. Here's what he wrote:
It naturally seemed to Napoleon that the war wascaused by England's intrigues (as in fact he said on the island ofSt. Helena). It naturally seemed to members of the EnglishParliament that the cause of the war was Napoleon's ambition; tothe Duke of Oldenburg, that the cause of the war was the violencedone to him; to businessmen that the cause of the war was theContinental System which was ruining Europe; to the generals andold soldiers that the chief reason for the war was the necessityof giving them employment; to the legitimists of that day that itwas the need of re-establishing les bons principes, and tothe diplomatists of that time that it all resulted from the factthat the alliance between Russia and Austria in 1809 had not beensufficiently well concealed from Napoleon, and from the awkwardwording of Memorandum No. 178.
It is natural that these and a countless and infinite quantity ofother reasons, the number depending on the endless diversity ofpoints of view, presented themselves to the men of that day; butto us, to posterity who view the thing that happened in all itsmagnitude and perceive its plain and terrible meaning, thesecauses seem insufficient.
To us it is incomprehensible that millions of Christian men killedand tortured each other either because Napoleon was ambitious orAlexander was firm, or because England's policy was astute or theDuke of Oldenburg wronged. We cannot grasp what connection suchcircumstances have with the actual fact of slaughter and violence:why because the Duke was wronged, thousands of men from the otherside of Europe killed and ruined the people of Smolensk and Moscowand were killed by them.
Generational theory does provide some answers to these questions, andit has nothing to do with religion. It has to do with being human.Just as Christians can have inappropriate sex, they can also haveinappropriate wars. If humans did not have sex, then the human racewould die out. If humans did not have genocidal wars ofextermination, then the human race would not survive, because it'sonly through wars of extermination that the strongest tribes,societies, and nations become the leaders.
From the point of view of Generational Dynamics, these wars ofextermination are generational crisis wars. When one of thesehorrific wars occurs, the generations of survivors vow to doeverything possible to keep anything like that from happening to theirchildren and grandchildren. They succeed in that, but when thesurvivor generations die off, then the younger generations, with nopersonal memory of the crisis war, have no motivation to keep it fromhappening again. And so the next generational crisis war begins,usually around 60 or more years after the end of the last one.
Going back to Central African Republic, the last generational crisiswar was the 1928-1931 Kongo-Wara Rebellion ("War of the Hoe Handle"),which was a very long time ago, putting CAR today deep into agenerational Crisis era. There are probably no survivors left fromthe Kongo-Wara Rebellion, and so it's not surprising at all that a newwar of extermination is breaking out in CAR today.
Russia's Vladimir Putin calls Obama to discuss Ukraine
The White House announced on Friday that Russian PresidentVladimir Putin placed a phone call to U.S. President BarackObama to discuss a diplomatic resolution to the crisis inUkraine. According to the White House statement:
President Obama noted that the Ukrainian governmentcontinues to take a restrained and de-escalatory approach to thecrisis and is moving ahead with constitutional reform anddemocratic elections, and urged Russia to support this process andavoid further provocations, including the buildup of forces on itsborder with Ukraine…
President Obama made clear that [a diplomatic solution] remainspossible only if Russia pulls back its troops and does not takeany steps to further violate Ukraine's territorial integrity andsovereignty. President Obama reiterated that the United Stateshas strongly opposed the actions that Russia has already taken toviolate Ukraine's sovereignty and territorialintegrity.
Russia issued its own statement:
Vladimir Putin drew Barack Obama's attention tocontinued rampage of extremists who are committing acts ofintimidation towards peaceful residents, government authoritiesand law enforcement agencies in various regions and in Kiev withimpunity. In light of this, the President of Russia suggestedexamining possible steps the global community can take to helpstabilize the situation. The two presidents agreed that specificparameters for this joint work will be discussed by the Russianand US foreign ministers in the near future.
This reads to me like a standard attempt to buy enough time so thatthe world will forget what Putin is doing. By referring to the "continuedrampage of extremists who are committing acts of intimidation towardspeaceful residents," Putin is preparing a case for military actionin Ukraine and for not removing his troops from Ukraine's border.He could order his troops into Ukraine next week and claimthat Obama didn't propose a way to protect "peaceful residents,"so he had to do it.
We'll see if anything changes now. Politico

Conserving, distributing and managing genetically modified mouse lines by sperm cryopreservation.

BACKGROUND: Sperm from C57BL/6 mice are difficult to cryopreserve and recover. Yet, the majority of genetically modified (GM) lines are maintained on this genetic background. METHODOLOGY/PRINCIPAL FINDINGS: Reported here is the development of an easily implemented method that consistently yields fertilization rates of 70+/-5% with this strain. This six-fold increase is achieved by collecting sperm from the vas deferens and epididymis into a cryoprotective medium of 18% raffinose (w/v), 3% skim milk (w/v) and 477 microM monothioglycerol. The sperm suspension is loaded into 0.25 mL French straws and cooled at 37+/-1 degrees C/min before being plunged and then stored in LN(2). Subsequent to storage, the sperm are warmed at 2,232+/-162 degrees C/min and incubated in in vitro fertilization media for an hour prior to the addition of oocyte cumulus masses from superovulated females. Sperm from 735 GM mouse lines on 12 common genetic backgrounds including C57BL/6J, BALB/cJ, 129S1/SvImJ, FVB/NJ and NOD/ShiLtJ were cryopreserved and recovered. C57BL/6J and BALB/cByJ fertilization rates, using frozen sperm, were slightly reduced compared to rates involving fresh sperm; fertilization rates using fresh or frozen sperm were equivalent in all other lines. Developmental capacity of embryos produced using cryopreserved sperm was equivalent, or superior to, cryopreserved IVF-derived embryos. CONCLUSIONS/SIGNIFICANCE: Combined, these results demonstrate the broad applicability of our approach as an economical and efficient option for archiving and distributing mice.

Study Suggests That Closing Smaller NICUs Could Save More Preemie's Lives
I'm on the fence on this one...We had the opportunity to experience both NICUs. One that was a level 3/4 and one that was advanced level 2.
The care our son received at the 3/4 NICU was outstanding and the ladies there were highly trained to look after the very small and sick babies.
The smaller, lower level NICU is needed as a transition step for parents who are preparing to bring their baby home. Those nurses have an high expertise in different issues.
Labels: NICU, Premature Babies

This is where I can step in and argue with you :)
Our boys were at the same NICU, yet got VERY different care. You were happy with the care and I was not. I could name PLENTY of nurses who should NOT be working in the NICU. Nurses who I knew more than. I can guarantee that if there were a few days that I was not there than Ashton would not be here today.
I feel that if the stats show that more babies would survive it is worth trying.

It sounds like one of those characters from a war movie, who thinks that enough violence has been done and must stop this very second. Fitting the traits of such characters perfectly, Mr. Cameron Winklevoss,who along with his twin Tyler had invested $11 million for Bitcoin startups few months back, has openly backed the regulation over bitcoins.
The co-founder of Winklevoss Capital Funddiscussed this hot topic during one of his interfaces at the NExT conference entrepreneurial event in New York when he sincerely explained how bitcoins can be benefitted by its regulation. He discussed how the currency has recently in between controversies for being used in criminal activities, the agenda at which US financial authorities have taken major steps and suggested a proper regulation to stop its misuse. "I don't want to facilitate bad uses of money as much as anybody else. So I don't really have an issue with that", said Cameron.
The on-going tussle between the Bitcoins and US government authorities has been taking new turns since the FBI's internal report alarmed its concern over the illegal activities happening around this virtual currency, such as money laundering, drug trafficking, illegal betting, etc. The American government then took major actions against Bitcoins – one of them is their seizing of a payment processing account of the largest bitcoin exchangers and traders Mt. Gox.
Although, the battle between the US and the Bitcoin seems not to end, as the latter is also getting strong support from countries like China and Canada, but its overall regulation may bring a relief to thousands of those who are still counting on Bitcoins to emerge as the next best currency. Glad Mr. Cameron Winklevoss initiated at least.

Very interesting.
It has finally happened. Not only have I found two of the best social networking/sharing tools EVER, but they have merged. World, meet Pinstagram.
Instagram, only an iPhone and newly Android app, gained soaring rates of popularity after being bought by Facebook for 1 billion dollars not too long ago. However, I have heard numerous amounts of college students and others complain that the pictures can't be viewed on the internet unless an exact website is summoned from the app or you post it there yourself, which is clunky and a hassle. There are third-party apps, but who wants that? Not me.
That's what developers Pongpaet and Lenardo set out to do on a weekend project- create a web-view tool for Instagram photos, but still keeping the social sharing alive. Through the Pinterest "waterfall layout", these two men have done just that. Just as you can in the app…

Mommatown Content Policy
Homeschool, or Home Based Education is conducted by a wide variety of families for various reasons. People homeschool for everything from religious beliefs, to a child who for some reason is not thriving in public school, to personal beliefs of responsibility. The belief systems of those who make up the homeschooling movement these days are wide and varied.
There are families who forbid any book or content in their homes that contain fantasy. There are those who avoid all anthropomorphism. Since this is the case, we detail below what kinds of content you might find on this web site, and what kind of content might cause a post of your own to be denied, such as a book or craft item. We encourage you to look over this information and let it guide you as to whether you want to become part of the Mommatown community.
We respect that many Christians do not celebrate Halloween in any way, and we know why they do not do so. This site was created to allow as many Christians as possible to freely peruse and enjoy this site. Where we draw the line on fantasy content and other unreal creatures on this site can be a tough call sometimes, but here are some guidelines and background for this subject.
As far as classic Halloween goes, no references to witches, which is a personal identification and discipline directly forbidden by the Bible, will be on this site. Also, no Halloween decorations, nor books or other products are allowed to be posted for sale, that promote or support witchcraft or Halloween as a holiday.
However, churches often have alternate "Harvest Festivals" where kids are encouraged to dress up as characters, just not "obviously evil" ones, or they are encouraged to dress up as only Bible characters, or sometimes to dress up as "anything God created", which includes animals. We would like to allow as much freedom as possible on our site, but being a Christian based site, we do not allow for obviously evil, Halloween-specific-scary content on Mommatown sites.
The difficulty is this: What exact content are we forbidding here? On our satellite site, WeSchool.org, where users are able to sell "used items", what would happen if a person tries to sell a princess outfit? What about a demonic outfit? This might seem obvious that the princess is ok and the demon not ok. This line drawn in the sand can get muddy when someone wants to sell an evil princess costume or book, doesn't it? What about a dragon - historically, a mythological creature from the Dark Ages, found on some "coat of arms", that was thought to be a real animal, and who some scientists have pondered as possibly stemming from an understanding of the reality of dinosaurs in times past? Is a dragon image always about Satan, or is it sometimes ok in certain historical contexts? OK, so what about fantasy dragons? Some are "evil" characters, right? Where's that line drawn?
Because these waters get muddy fast, it is tempting to rid the site of all make-believe and fantasy content. We don't want to go that route. We enjoy fantasy. We like that God gave us a nose, but He certainly could have given us two, if He'd wanted, and how would that look? Where would it go? It's ok, in our opinion to create, and be silly, and make goofy creatures with your mind, and draw them on paper, laugh at them, grow up, animate them, and have fun creating goofy things until you are old. Because God creates, and we were made in His image, we like to create too. God has created some goofy looking creatures, Himself (we're looking at you, goblin sharks, naked mole rats, and spider crabs). It is a hard thing to make everyone happy, in fact impossible, and yet we want to be faithful to God as well. This muddy area will impact several satellite sites such as Weschool.org, where users can sell items, and our How-To site where users can post instructions on making items.
So, just post something, or use our "contact us" page and ask.. and if it is an item or artwork, or writing, or product, or book, that is within these muddy waters, don't be surprised if we deny the post. If we deny a post that we consider to be something a user probably wasn't sure about, there will be NO SUSPENSION or any other retribution to that user. If a user consistently posts Halloween decorations, then we will email them a link to this page as a friendly reminder of acceptable content guidelines - however if a user posts pornography or anything obviously disallowed as defined in our Terms of Use, that user will simply be banned. Remember, the community sees NOTHING until Mommatown staff "approves" a post. This is a safety net for young eyes. We want to encourage creativity, but have to draw a line somewhere concerning content users post. Therefore, this area can be very subjective and we ask for your grace here.
The community sees nothing until Mommatown staff approves a post
So post something, and if we deny the published content, please don't feel as though you are being punished. We will draw a line where it seems best. If you disagree that a book or item should be denied, feel free to contact us. We provide details on how to ask about a denial in our Membership Policy. Mommatown LLC reserves the right to have final say.
Holiday and Ancient Fantasy Characters
Those "other" characters kids "love" - you know what I'm talking about. Various holidays, seasonal rituals, locales, even movies, and ancient family histories, carry with them certain characters that kids are told are real, but they may not actually be real or historical, depending on the character. It's important to teach children the distinction between fantasy and reality. But it is up to each parent to decide what to teach their children. There was an incredible bond of trust created between myself and my daughter when I respectfully told her what was true and what was fantasy, and asked her not to break this news to other children, because their parents were in control of what that child was taught. She had a secret knowledge that we shared, that she knew I trusted her with, and it was the basis for a wonderful relationship going forward. I highly encourage parents to tell their kids the truth. Fantasy is fun and entertaining and goofy, but when presented as the truth, it is a lie, and can damage relationships later. We will not forbid posts of product or books having to do with these "Tinkerbells" but encourage parents to treat their kids' belief systems with the proper respect they are due. Because this can become a gray area, we may very well deny a post of a book saying "Tinkerbell is real!", allowing a post for the same character that does not promote a blatant lie, but instead presents itself for what it is fiction/fantasy to be read and enjoyed as such: "Tinkerbell and the Cave Troll in the Land of Dreams." So again, you can go ahead and attempt a post of something you aren't sure about, and if we deny the post, just be aware you are not in trouble, no repercussions will happen. And we hope you give us grace as well.
What is this? When you see Mickey Mouse walking around waving and acting "human" at a theme park, when Goofy drives a car like a human being in a cartoon, you are seeing anthropomorphism. There will be some anthropomorphism allowed on the web site. In my experience, as a kid, anthropomorphism was an obvious fantasy aspect of storytelling that also gave me the idea that animals deserved respect and protection. I knew they were not capable of the level of thought that humans are. As a kid, I really wanted my dog to understand my speech, just like a human would, just like Lassie, but found he could not. Reality tempered the fantasy and taught me what was real. Anthropomorphism can be a tool to teach empathy for creatures weaker than ourselves, or it can be promoted to a religion in itself where the animal kingdom is lifted up and worshipped, or where animals are favored above human beings. We trust that you teach your children wisdom in this area. Ask them what they think when they see the animal tv character driving a car, could that really happen? They already know it could not, it's just fun to watch. We are God's Managers for the animal kingdom, and we can not properly care for them, if we do not properly understand them - meaning it is important to confirm and support reality - that your dog does not actually understand 100% of what you say, and therefore should not be held accountable for "disobedience" in this regard. If you leave your hot dog on the arm of the couch, and tell Fido not to eat it, and leave the room for half an hour, guess what, it's going to get gulped. To then punish the animal is anthropomorphism skewing your reality of what the average dog is capable of understanding and what actions they should or should not be accountable for. Please teach your kids to understand the limitations of animals, and to respect animals, and love that God made them as our companions. This site is not promoting animal love over human love, nor does it drive the vegetarianism or vegan message or other likeminded personal choices some of our visitors may have. We are just letting you know that there will be anthropomorphism on this site. There is nothing so beautiful as empathy mixed with proper understanding and tempered with reality. So, anthropomorphism is not such an evil in our sight that it will be banned. It is how you handle it that counts, as does most fictional or fantasy content.
Are you still with us at this point? We hope however we differ is still acceptable for you, and welcome you again to our Mommatown family!

Initially, the Judicial Counsel didn't understand how the previous instruction "could possibly be construed to deny recovery" of diminished value. However, as the committee looked deeper into how insurers were abusing the previous instruction, they realized the proposed revised language was "not just a minor clarification, but an important revision."
The new instruction clearly defends California consumers' right to recover both the cost of repairing their cars, as well as any loss in value resulting from the accident. Kerr & Sheldon is proud to have assisted in clarifying the law and hope the newly revised jury instruction will make it easier for all California consumers to obtain fair compensation for their vehicle's loss in value due to an accident caused by someone else's negligence.

Well, I've had such fun working on the podcast with fellow film writer J. Robert Parks that we've decided to launch a new movie web site full of reviews, interviews, and textual mayhem. And with what will likely turn out to be a crippling degree of boldness, we've included a posting frequency in the site's very name.
It's called Daily Plastic, and I hope you'll check it out. The podcast will be moving over there, but the transition should be seamless. And I'll be posting more frequently than I do here at good ol' Errata, beloved and cob-webby.
I've been hooking up technical do-dads, so Mr. Parks has taken more than his fair share of the pizza, but not to worry. I fully intend to sabotage the remaining pieces by picking off the anchovies. Wait, back up. I fully intend to carry my own weight as we go forward.
More plastic goodies are in the works. Do not be daunted by the movie grid. It's there to help.

Ryan McLeod received good news today when he was informed he was in the GB team for the European Cross-Country Championships but it was disappointment for Andy Caine.
Both athletes finished outside of the first three automatic places in the Trials at Liverpool's Sefton Park on Saturday but with six athletes in the team for the Championships in Holyrood Park, Edinburgh on December 14, both McLeod and Caine were hoping to be selected after finishing fourth and sixth in their respective races.
Elswick's McLeod, who was also in last winter's team for the World Championships, was naturally delighted to be included in the team for the trip to Scotland.
"It's great to make the team once again especially with the Championships being so close to home," said McLeod, who will contest the under-20 race.
"Next year's World Cross is my main target for the season and my training is geared up for that but at the moment I'll concentrate fully on the Edinburgh race.
"The next three weeks will be mostly endurance work with possibly an outing in a university relay event in Leeds a week prior to the Championships."
McLeod, the son of Olympic silver medallist Mike, was quick to heap praise on his father who looks after his training schedules.
"Credit must go to my dad. He's the mastermind behind everything, and to the lads I train with.
"The group of Kirk Wilson, Steven Horn, Alex Haynes and Ryan Stephenson have also given me huge support and I'm indebted to them."
Three seconds proved costly to Caine for that was how far he finished behind Geordie exile David Anderson in the trials and that was enough for the selectors to give the nod to the former Elswick runner.
So close yet so far for Tynedale's Caine, which is also disappointing for the Scottish fans who would love to have one of their own running on home turf.
With the first five making it to Edinburgh, the selectors have pencilled in Telford's Chris Davies as the sixth man in the senior team despite having to pull out of the Trials around the half-way stage due to an ankle injury.
Davies is undeniably a talented athlete - he won the previous Reebok race in Birmingham three weeks prior to the Trials - and has been named, subject to fitness with Caine pencilled in as reserve.
Despite being on the fringe of the squad, Caine still managed to stay upbeat and hasn't yet ruled himself out of making the start line in three weeks time.
"Naturally I'm disappointed at not making the team but I'm not too downhearted for anything can happen between now and race day," said Caine from his Loughbrough home.
"On another occasion sixth place would have been good enough but with Chris dropping out it meant I was the one to be passed over.
"I have to imagine I'm in the race and will train accordingly for Chris has to prove his fitness so I have to be ready to cover all options.
"If I don't get called up then there is always the World Championships in March to aim for and I probably have a better chance to make it as it's a 10km race and some of the lads who are running in Edinburgh will probably opt for the short course contest in Brussels.
"Anyway, good luck to Ryan and David. It's tremendous for the North East and I've still got my fingers crossed that I'll be joining them."

text: Yes thanks Phil, I was being deliberately generalised, it is hard to know where to draw the line in this area, and you have hit exactly the area I was trying to get at while not being specific on the detail of the thing(s) that was being talked about. There are definitely things that will "help lower the entry barrier" - but as I am for ever finding for myself, if I don't have a sense of what is actually going on in some of these processes, I can not understand why something has not worked out as expected, or how I could enhance things for future better results. And to that end I never hesitate to ask the most basic questions myself to make sure or confirm that I do have a bit of a grasp of things. Perhaps if someone is only going to do one thesis or one simple publication and possibly is on *TeX because they have been directed to use it, then we should do all we can for that person to breeze in, use Tw and be able to breeze out happily with their nicely formatted document in hand - hamburger a la Mac Donald's style, instant no fuss service. Beyond that we need to move people to looking at gourmet burger making techniques themselves, or we will be forever cooking for them :) Keeping the entry barrier low, while developing and enjoying "Extensible simplicity"! Its a case by case, proposal by proposal, balancing act, or the interface can beceom overloaded, even the default fillings for the Typesetting Drop down box could become easily bloated beyond easy casual and sensible recognition of what is in there. In this specific discussion, if C++ developer load was ever lighter for a moment (ha ha -- actually in fact could it be scriptable?), it might be nice to explore whether typesetting 'processing tools' (Tw Preferences Tab-Typesetting) could be savable/loadable as separate units which could be wickied or done as an issue or something, and be identifiable and downloadable as individual txt files to be loaded in. Things like the following for example could be a named txt file, transferable to other users, and so loadable. Name: XeLaTeX+MakeIndex+BibTeX Program: texify.exe --pdf --engine=xetex --tex-option=-synctex=1 $fullname First two lines, prefixed as above, then third line and above are all arguments Then individual recipes :) could be shared around. Would help, especially with more exotic hamburger tastes. paul On 15 July 2011 20:16, Philip TAYLOR (Webmaster, Ret'd) <P.Taylor at rhul.ac.uk> wrote: > > > Herbert Schulz wrote: > >> On Jul 14, 2011, at 5:40 PM, Paul A Norman wrote: > >>> Hi, >>> >>> On balance ... >>> >>> Once a person is starting to grow in confidence with Tw and *TeX in >>> general, it really is just the "next steps" to learn what specific >>> things you need to do to get specific or needed results, no more >>> complicated than your grandmother competently following a complex >>> recipe and making a fantastic result. >>> >>> Or do we just want to be a "Mac Donalds" (TM) give me instant >>> hamburger (results) for no effort at all culture? >>> >>> I know I want to always be growing away from that mentality!

Student Guide to Landing a Job (part 5)
An interview is a very important part of the hiring process. When you have read enough about the company that's going to interview you, have prepared for the common questions and the questions that you want to ask the employer, then you're almost ready to go to the interview. Few things that you should have in mind before arriving at the interview are:
- Arrive early. Plan your schedule and consider traffic jams. You should arrive 15 minutes before the start of the interview.
- Be polite. Just remain a gentle human being in every situation.
- Make eye contact. It makes a huge difference.
- Dress appropriately. Sometimes it's appropriate to use a casual style, but most of the time, an official style is preferred. Study the company's corporate culture before you decide what to dress.
Once you have arrived at the interview, you may feel a little bit nervous. Try to calm yourself down using breath techniques. Tips on how to behave right during the interview:
- Use clear language. Speak clearly, don't be in a hurry.
- Engage in the discussion. Don't just rely on responses that you have prepared, but be ready to actively engage in a discussion.
- Be positive and confident. It increases the chances of being hired.
- Remember where you are. Don't feel like you're insignificant. Whoever interviews you, rise to his or her level.
Closing the interview
Make sure that you have all the info that you require before you've left the office.
- Closing questions. If you prepared your questions in advance or, maybe, some questions arose in your mind during the interview, ask them to clarify all the essential points.
- Further hiring steps. If you don't know about further steps of the hiring process, ask about this.
- Request contact info. You will need it to follow up.
After the inerview
- Right after the interview. When the meeting is over, you can reflect, no matter if the interview was successful or not. It's an experience that may help you avoid mistakes in future. Write down the following:
- Who interviewed you?
- What questions did they ask?
- What responses would you have changed?
- What questions remained unclear?
- On the next day. Send a thank-you note to everyone who participated in the interview. Probably, interviewers met lots of people on that day, so it is appropriate to contact them while they haven't forgotten you.
- On the next week. You can also follow-up the employer a week after your interview if he/she promised to contact you but didn't. Keep your e-mail brief. If there is no response, accept it and move on with your search.
Never get disappointed with an interview that you find unsuccessful. Every interview brings you more experience. With the right effort, you are bound to find a job of your dream.

From the options dialog, select the Preferences tab. From here, you can set a new password to use when encrypting the database. It is important to remember this password as it CANNOT be recovered.
LockCrypt can automatically re-lock after a specified length of inactivity. Select Tools->Options->Preferences to configure auto-lock. The minimum delay is 10 seconds.
MySQL Mode
LockCrypt supports MySQL as well as text file databases. With MySQL, the same database is used regardless of location. This is recommended if you need to access your accounts database from more than one location (work and home for example).
To use MySQL you will need to create a user and a new database for LockCrypt. Open the options dialog box by clicking Options on the toolbar, then enter the MySQL connection details.
Using an External / Portable Database
LockCrypt will try to open the database from the location set in the Options dialog. To open a different file, specify it as a parameter when launching LockCrypt.exe or LockCrypt.jar. The absolute path to the file must be specified, it is not possible to specify just a filename.
For Example
C:\Program Files\LockCrypt\LockCrypt.exe will start LockCrypt and open the default database or prompt you to create a new one if it doesn't exist.
C:\Program Files\LockCrypt\LockCrypt.exe F:\database.lce will start LockCrypt and open file F:\database.lce, which could be on a portable drive.

Britannia Leeds is delighted to announce that it has recently moved to a larger space in the outskirts of Leeds town centre. Following an excellent 12 months where the company has further established itself within the area with both private residential and corporate customers, the need to upsize had to be taken advantage of.
Apart from an increase in storage space the new offices provide good self storage facilities as well as racking for archive and records management services. Steve Barker who took hold of the company in 2009 was also able to announce a better than expected start to 2011, where the company has seen continued inroads into all markets and an increase on previous year's performance that bodes well for the rest of the year.

Functionally and Decoratively Exalting Garage Doors for Coastal Home Living Ideas
Nothing compares to coastal living! Whether you're enjoying the blue shores, nautical air, take in some sun or surf, or a dreamy beach breeze on the deck, having your own beach houses is indeed one of the luckiest thing you can have. And, adding proper front gates as well as garage doors to your beautiful cottage or bungalow with is going to be very helpful in protecting your coastal property.
Some Prior Considerations for Beach House Doors
It's highly essential to take into account the climate of your are before and when installing beach house doors and/or garage doors. Coastal regions are frequently humid and moist, as well as sunny and warm. The seashore is also inclined to stormy weather, such as hurricanes or nor'easters. Also, salty sea air is usually prone to corrode your dearest home. Though beautiful, the sea can surely be a furious mistress as well.
Ideal Materials for Beach House Doors
As to the wet and damp nature of the coast, hence it's better not to choose wooden material for your beach house doors and garage doors. The reason is that wood is more vulnerable to rot and water damage. It also demands for constant maintenance. In other words, the sea's harsh weather patterns won't be friendly to wooden beach house garage doors.
Unfortunately, beach house owners should also avoid using steel to their beach house garage doors. It's true that steel is durable, however it is susceptible to rust, and thereby steel beach house doors and garage doors are usually vulnerable to corrosive ocean air.
So, what is the best door material for your beach house doors and garage doors? The answer is fiberglass. This kind of material not only withstands moisture, but also resists well to intemperate weather. In addition, fiberglass-made beach house doors and garage doors are almost resistant to rust, and offering the potential to for generations.
Some Styles of Doors for Beach Houses
Since the front door and also your garage door is the gateway to your home, homeowners should be assure their beach house doors are in form of top-notch and ship-shape.
Brightness and light are said as the key to the stylish beach houses, including their pints, doors, as well as their integrated garage doors. As an example, you may pain your entry door and garage doors with bright colors. This will undeniably will reflect the sunny, bright, and happy-go-lucky atmosphere which characterizes most coast areas.
Additionally, if you want to create such airy, light-filled spaces, you can try applying dutch doors, or adding window panels or entryway sidelights to let the natural ocean breeze and sun to pervade your home. It is also true with your coastal garage designs.
Ultimately, if you live in a peculiarly stormy location, it might be a good idea to install a storm door over your main beach house doors. Though storm doors were once gawky concern, it's now possible to buy stylish models that will not only extend the lifespan of your door, but also create additional curb appeal. Also, as stated earlier, you can try to install a fiberglass or vinyl storm door since these materials will not easily rust in the moist coastal air.

Problematic bucket latrine system in Wajir
BY Adan .A. Hassan of ALDEF - Ecological sanitation in North Eastern Province of Kenya (email@example.com)
Location is displayed here - link is coming!!
In Wajir town human waste disposal is undertaken through a bucket latrine system which is managed by the local authority – Wajir County Council. There are approximately 5,000 bucket latrines and they are increasing as the population increases. Most of this bucket latrines are found in Wajir town and surrounding areas. The bucket latrine system was introduced by the colonial government because of the high water table in the area and was to prevent underground water contaminations which was and is the only source of water supply in Wajir.
The main source water supply in water in Wajir town are shallow wells which are not protected from contamination and not covered. How the bucket latrine waste contaminate the shallow wells which are community water sources. The bucket latrine is not collected and disposed frequently, as a result the bucket over flows and there high seepage human waste in the ground which highly contaminate the sources of water also there service contamination since the shallow wells not covered and the water drawing methods. In an individual's plot of 50 by 100 ft compound both bucket and shallow wells are situated, creating high chances of contamination.
The only alternative solutions to reduce the level of contamination from the bucket latrine are the introduction of an ecological sanitation which has improved to some level. Our future focus is to kick out bucket latrine in Wajir town by promoting ecosan.
|Rear side of a household bucket latrine - often the buckets
are not collected and overflow into
the open of the compound
|An open shallow well which is exposed to contamination.
Bucket latrines and wells are often placed on the same
plot making it prone to contamimation.

You say you want to provide care closer to home. Would this mean services are reduced at hospital?
We are strengthening community-based healthcare because local people have told us they want high-quality, safe services based in their communities.
People should only need to visit a hospital for treatment that can only be carried out safely there. This is good news for the hospital as it would be able to concentrate on what it does best and make available the range of services it offers across a wider variety of settings.
We will always need hospital services, but we want to help people stay well, treat people sooner to catch disease earlier, and treat people in environments that fit with their lifestyles better – which is what people have told us they want.
We might have fewer beds in hospitals but this is a national trend supported by what the public have told us – they want to be cared for at home or as near to home as possible.
How would these changes affect care I receive or services I use now?
While we expect the proposed ICO to deliver some benefits to patients quickly, we anticipate that the main improvements for patient care and services will come as the organisation develops. For example, there would also be more focus on supporting people to stay well, and supporting those with a long-term health condition, such as coronary heart disease and diabetes, because of the proposed ICO's ability to look after the whole of the individual's needs over a longer period.
What is an integrated care organisation (ICO)?
Many NHS community care organisations and acute hospitals are beginning to recognise they need to remove the boundaries between hospital and community services.
The creation of the proposed ICO would bring services which provide healthcare to the populations of West Lancashire and north Sefton together into one organisation. This would include some of the community services provided by NHS Sefton, some of the services provided by NHS Central Lancashire and all of the services provided by Southport and Ormskirk NHS Trust.
This would drive improvements in healthcare for patients across north Sefton and West Lancashire and see real partnership and a bringing together of services that are currently separate.
Why would this be better for patients?
A new organisation would remove barriers between hospital and community health services, making it easier, where appropriate, to deliver more care closer to home and in the home.
There would also be more focus on long-term conditions, such as coronary heart disease and diabetes, because of the ICO's ability to look after the whole of the individual's needs over a longer period.
What would the new organisation be called?
The name of the proposed ICO has still to be decided
Who is responsible for developing this proposal so far and continuing to develop the proposed ICO?
A programme board made up of senior managers from NHS Central Lancashire, NHS Sefton and Southport and Ormskirk Hospital NHS Trust is overseeing the process. They considered the options; produced an outline proposal; will oversee a programme of engagement and discussion with staff, stakeholders, patients and the public if approval is given; and, following the outcome of this engagement, implement any proposed changes.
How would patients, the public, etc be able to comment on the proposal?
The trusts have submitted their proposal to NHS North West, the regional strategic health authority, which will now make a decision on whether to approve the proposal in principle.
If this is given, a period of discussion and engagement would begin to give staff, patients and the public and stakeholders the opportunity to have their say.

IT'S the date that famously featured in Back to the Future, when Marty McFly leapt forward 30 years.
Here were take a look at what was making The News on that day.
- Pompey beat Crystal Palace 1-0 that weekend, which extended the club's lead to seven points at the summit of Division Two. Sadly the side missed out on promotion to the old Division One that season, coming fourth.
- 23 stone Southsea man George East was preparing for 'nocturnal flights to fantasy' after finally having his reinforced Redwood bed moved in to his house.
- Tonight, 30 years ago, the new series of Allo, Allo! was starting on BBC One at 8:25pm, with hapless owner Rene once again trying his best, but probably failing, to keep everyone happy.
- On two of the other three channels on TV 30 years ago was Coronation Street on TVS and Brookside on Channel 4.
- A mass meat protest on Commercial Road, outside McDonald's, was foiled by police as World Food Week began in earnest.
- If you fancied a night of fun and entertainment in Portsmouth 30 years ago, you could take a trip to the cinema to see Madonna in Desperately Seeking Susan, or take part in some dance lessons held by Barrie, the Southern Area's Disco Champion.
- And finally, they're not quite Marty McFly's DeLorean Time-Machine, but many cars were available second hand in The News 30 years ago. A Vauxhall Viva, 1968, for example, would set you back just £85.

Jason Matthews and Kerry Kurt Phillips
Please note, this event has expired.
Jason Matthews was born in Harrell's Store, North Carolina. At fifteen he saw Eric Clapton on television and became obsessed with writing songs. His first industry fan, WRFX dj Macon in Charlotte, gave Matthews' demo to legendary musical comedy team Pinkard and Bowden, who subsequently invited Matthews to be their roadie and in-house writer. After a year on the road, he settled in Nashville to pursue his dream of becoming a hit songwriter. In 2006, he landed his first Number One with Billy Currington's version of his song, "Must Be Doin' Something Right." This earned him the coveted Music Row Magazine Breakthrough Writer Of The Year award and several ASCAP awards. More recently, he produced Australian artist Benn Gunn, which yielded a three week Australian #1 for "Girls Like Guys With Trucks." Jason is currently writing for Warner/Chappell Music, and is an artist with Valhalla Music Group.
Kerry Kurt Phillips has been called "One of America's favorite songwriters". Kerry Kurt's Grammy winning songs have been featured in Motion Pictures, TV series, Super Bowl commercials, in the opening ceremony of the Olympic Games, and on Hallmark greeting cards. Pepsi, Ford, General Motors, Applebee's, the NFL and the PGA have all used KK's songs to market their products. Kerry Kurt has achieved six #1 singles and has been awarded over 75 gold and 36 platinum albums, accounting for certified sales of over 45 million records. Kerry Kurt's biggest hits include the George Jones' Smash, "I Don't Need Your Rockin' Chair" and several Joe Diffie hits such as, "Is It Cold In Here," "Prop Me Up Beside the Jukebox," "In My Own Backyard" and "Pickup Man", which spent a record five weeks at #1. Both of Tim McGraw's hits, "Down On the Farm" and "Maybe We Should Just Sleep On It," are products of Kerry Kurt's pen. Some of his most memorable hits include "That's Just Jessie" sung by Kevin Denney, Tammy Cochran's "Life Happened," Craig Morgan's "Almost Home" (winner of the 2003 Music Row Magazine Song Of The Year), the 1998 TNN/Music City News Song Of The Year for Billy Ray Cyrus "It's All The Same To Me," the Tracy Byrd smash "Drinkin' Bone" and Tim McGraw's'"Do You Want Fries With That." George Strait's "She Let Herself Go" was Kerry Kurt's latest number 1 song and the Craig Morgan single "This Ain't Nothin'," was recognized by the ICMA as the Inspirational Song of the Year. KK's songs have been recorded by John Michael Montgomery, Doug Stone, Mark Chestnut, Trace Adkins, Vern Gosdin, Ricky Van Shelton, Aaron Tipin, Tanya Tucker, Kenny Chesney, Eddie Raven, Phil Vasser, Ray Benson, Joe Stampley and many other notable recording artists.
