About Us
Starting as "Trevor's Bus Page" in 1997, the site originally hosted bus pictures taken by just the webmaster. Inspired by a similar transit-oriented, the website was created to fill a void with the lack of bus photography within the New York City area. In 1998, Trevor's Bus Page became transiTALK, name spin on a message forum that was around at the time called Bus/SubTalk. In Mid to Late 2000, transiTALK began to merge with several other up & coming websites like itself: KayBee's Page, MCIMAN2000 Page, DHP Transit Digital, Meaney's Page, Ntwrkguy2000's Page & TrAnSiTiNfO.
Over the years, transiTALK has gone through a series of name changes:
- transiTALK: Aug '00-Feb '01 & Jun '02-Mar '04
- transiTALK America: Feb '01-Feb '02
- transiTALK International: Feb '02-Jun '02
In March of 2004, transiTALK officially became transiTALK Transportation Media Group or TTMG for short. Despite going through several name changes, the word transiTALK was always a permanent fixture of the site and is now the trademark of TTMG.
The site is currently 46GB in size and does a monthly average of 2-3 Million hits. Most people connect to the site via Direct Address or Bookmarks (75.3%), while 21% comes from searches on sites like Google or Yahoo and the other 3.5% from Links from an external page (other web sites except search engines). TTMG currently hosts over 20,000 pictures in its database from transit agencies all over the United States, Canada and most recently the United Kingdom (with a central base in the New York Metropolitan Area). Pictures are sorted by mode of transportation, operators and then manufacturers. All member photos are screened to ensure high quality prior to being accepted.
Aside from pictures, the website hosts an array of transit-related audio recordings and videos. The site gains its notoriety through its music videos, showcasing the photography and moving images of the staffers. For a few months in 2006, the site hosted a monthly zine called "FanFare" showcasing the transport industry news. Despite gaining popularity, the zine stopped when the site went through a system crash and was never restarted. TTMG currently retains a staff of 58 people, also referred to as Media Crew. TTMG Media Crew Members work on a volunteer basis and are chosen by their photography skills and willingness to learn. We also require that our younger, in-school volunteers maintain a certain grade average to be on the staff. If their grades fall, then they are removed from the staff until grades improve. We are serious about our hobby, but even more serious about education. In order to maintain a level of quality control, TTMG has set in place several strict policies. Despite having down periods in the operation of the site, the staff remains close-knit and dedicated to their work.
We hope that you enjoy the site and will come back frequently as we update regularly.
Regards, The TTMG Team

Jamie Vardy verbally agrees three-year Arsenal deal: Leicester confident striker will stay
LEICESTER are reportedly confident of keeping Arsenal target Jamie Vardy.
Jamie Vardy yet to decide on club future
Express Sport understands Arsenal have activated Vardy's £20million release clause with the hope of wrapping up the deal before Euro 2016 kicks off.
And now the Daily Mail claim the 29-year-old has verbally agreed Arsenal's three-year deal worth £120,000 a week, with the option of another 12 months.
The north London side were reportedly optimistic that the England striker would put pen to paper over the weekend, but he is yet to make a decision on his future.
Leicester have since tabled a bumper new contract to keep Vardy - close to Arsenal's lucrative offer - and are said to be growing optimistic of keeping him.
Vardy made his name at the King Power Stadium and bagged 24 goals to help Claudio Ranieri's side to the Premier League title this year.
England manager Roy Hodgson is keen for Vardy to make a decision on his future soon to avoid any distractions for this summer's Euro 2016.

Das Ideale Heim, the leading Swiss magazine for architecture, design and living culture, visited me in my Zurich department for a feature in their December issue, out Dec 5. Many thanks to Susanna Köberle for the interview and Marion Nitsch for the photography. See PDF.
My motto is: less is more
What does home mean to you:
Basically, it's less about geographic coordinates, more about people and atmosphere. But it has got to be a city. And it must have a place to swim.
What do you like about Zurich and District 5?
I feel comfortable here. Zurich has an international air, at the same time it is compact. District 5 in particular is very open and lively. You don't really need to leave the area, it's got all you need. From my window, I can see the Primetower highrise and Mount Uetliberg. I like how the urban blends into nature.
What is your favourite piece in your apartment?
No matter if furniture, objects or clothing – I surround myself with favourites only. I live in a 1.5 room apartment. Though it is spacious I do need to consider very carefully what to put inside. It simplifies the selection, though. My favourite object is my bed. My motto is: less but better.
What inspires you?
The view from my window at night, anything I see when walking in the street or in the forest. I'm a human camera, I capture details, research and try to filter Zeitgeist.
What's on your wishlist?
An inhouse infinity swimming pool!
The picture was taken on my bed. The intergalactic vibe comes courtesy of Schönstaub. I wear an ensemble by enSoie. On the right, there is a copy of 'Life' magazine from 1969 featuring the moon landing, and on the left a Play Hunter artwork. The writing on the plate reads: I've got you, that's enough.
With many thanks to Anna Meier and Sabrina Pesenti for sartorial support.

"How do I hire a good employee?" "How do I undertake comprehensive interviews of job applicants?" These are questions I often receive from clients, and they are good questions to ask if you share any of the same uncertainty they do. Employers regularly overestimate their ability to conduct quality interviews; this could have repercussions down the line even if you decide not to hire an applicant.
Even at the interview stage, employers face potential legal liability. For example, under federal and state law, it is illegal to discriminate against an applicant on the basis of status: race, color, sex, religion, national origin, citizenship, disability and age. Connecticut state law also prohibits employers from discriminating on the basis of transgender status, gender identity or expression, sexual orientation, marital status or civil union status. Similarly, discrimination on the basis of sexual orientation, domestic violence victim status, familial status or marital status in hiring is prohibited under New York state law.
Finding an employee who will be loyal, hard-working and a "good fit" for the business is challenging enough without the additional hurdle of ensuring your decision not to hire someone won't be the subject of a future lawsuit. While there is no way to prevent a claim from being made, there are ways to minimize exposure. Here are a few tips:
What You Should Do:
- To the extent possible, standardize the application and interview process. Make sure that all applicants for a particular position are asked the same questions. This decreases the chances of asking inappropriate questions. Creating a list of standard interview questions (depending on the particular position) may help streamline this process.
- Make sure that questions are objective. Most importantly, keep questions focused on the job requirements and the skills necessary to perform those duties.
- Maintain detailed interview notes on each applicant. Notes taken during the interview should be objective, factual and concise. Avoid unnecessary commentary unrelated to the applicant's experience and qualifications for the position. Always keep in mind that these notes will be subject to disclosure should the applicant later bring a claim for failure to hire.
- If you choose to perform background checks on potential employees, conduct the checks on all applicants across the board. If you selectively perform background checks, you are at risk for claims of discrimination.
- If you are not responsible for screening and/or interviewing potential hires, make sure to train those responsible on the appropriate subjects for inquiry and topics to avoid.
What You Should Not Do:
- Do not make promises to job applicants. General comments about job security may bind the employer in the future.
- Do not ask questions that elicit information about an applicant's status: race, color, national origin, age, religion, military status, gender, marital status, physical attributes or sexual orientation.
- Do not ask about an applicant's workers' compensation history, prior sick leave usage, illnesses/diseases/impairments or general physical and mental health.
- Do not require pre-employment medical examinations. Employers may only require medical examinations after an offer of employment has been made to a job applicant and prior to the commencement of job duties. The employer may ask disability-related questions (to ensure that the candidate can perform the essential functions of the job with or without reasonable accommodations) and require medical examinations as long as this is done for all entering employees in the job category and the information is kept confidential. The job offer may be conditioned on the results of post-offer disability-related questions or medical examinations.
- Proceed with caution when inquiring about an applicant's criminal record. In Connecticut, effective January 1, 2017, employers will be prohibited from inquiring about a prospective employee's prior arrests, criminal charges or convictions on an initial employment application (unless the employer is required to do so under state or federal law). Although this does not prevent an employer from asking about an applicant's criminal history during a subsequent interview, Connecticut law prohibits employers from requiring a prospective employee to disclose a prior arrest, criminal charge or conviction if the record has been erased. Similarly, in New York City, employers are prohibited from making an inquiry about an applicant's pending arrest or criminal conviction record until after a conditional offer of employment is extended.
While the task may seem daunting, at the end of the day, good help really isn't that hard to find if you know the right questions to ask — and the questions to avoid.

Martha "Cecelia" (Gorsuch) Zearfoss was born in January 1899 at Maple Summit, Fayette County, PA, the youngest daughter of Richard M. and Martha (Minerd) Gorsuch. Her husband Frank and her brother Floyd Gorsuch, were among many Minerd-Miner-Minor cousins to die in coal, coke and steel accidents.
As a teenager in 1915 and not married, Cecelia gave birth to a son, Wilbur Samuel "Bert" Buzzard Jr. She went to Mickley, PA to bear the child. The boy later was adopted by his stepfather, and took the name "Zearfoss."
In 1916, Cecelia served as secretary of the local Maple Summit Church. Among her friends was Mr. and Mrs. William Rowan, who resided on Grant Street in Ohiopyle, and at whose home she spent visiting in February 1918.
Cecelia married Frank Zearfoss (May 28, 1898-1937), the son of Ellwood and Georgia (Parker) Zearfoss of Rockwood.
They produced an only son, Robert Ray Zearfoss, born in 1923.
The Zearfosses apparently enjoyed family gatherings and are known to have attended the 1920 Minerd Reunion at Ohiopyle, Fayette County, PA. They were photographed together at the 1920 event, standing on the steps of the old Ferncliff Hotel. (To see a full-image of the entire group photo, click here.) In 1927, Frank was a guest speaker at the clan's reunion, held at Confluence Park in Confluence, Somerset County. He also was named to a committee to organize the 1928 reunion at Confluence and the 1930 gathering at Shady Grove Park in Uniontown, PA.
Frank worked on and off over the years as a brakeman on the railroad. Fatefully, he also labored as a coal miner. In about 1931, they resided at Stoystown, Somerset County.
Tragedy rocked the family in the early days of autumn 1937 at a time when Frank lived in the coal mining village of Brownstown near Stoystown. On Sept. 24, 1937, he was killed at work in a mine accident. He was "crushed to death ... in a rock fall at the Royal Quemahoning mine [near Stoystown]," said the Somerset Daily American. "He was pronounced dead by a physician upon being removed from the fall." Coroner William J. Logue of Meyersdale wrote on the official Pennsylvania death certificate: "Fractures skull, fractured rt. ulna & radius, fractured ribs (rt.), internal hemorrhage, crushed chest.
News of the tragedy was sent via telegram to relatives near and far, including to Cecelia's half-sister, Laura Jane (Minerd) Williams, and her family in Allenport, Huntingdon County. Laura Jane's son Edward immediately left and drove to the Zearfoss home to comfort his newly widowed aunt. Laura Jane, her husband Charles, and Mrs. C.H. Carter and Mrs. McHenry also made the trip from Allenport for the funeral. Also attending the funeral, from Confluence, were Cecelia's sister Edna Hyatt, her son Ray and his wife Freda, and daughter Martha and her husband Alfred Hatton.
Frank's remains were lowered into repose in the Lutheran church cemetery in New Centerville, Somerset County.
Cecelia outlived her husband by three decades and remained in Stoystown.
During World War II, son Bert served in Europe with the U.S. Armed Forces. News about him was published in a hometown newsletter, The Messenger, edited by a cousin, Ferne (Minerd) Work. A Messenger article in November 1944 reported that:
Bert Zearfoss, of Somerset, ... has had a thrilling experience that we feel you all would enjoy hearing about. Bert has been with the ground forces of the AAF for several years and during this time he has the thrilling experience of living on the grounds of Mussolini's castle for a time. He saw the Il Duce's sister coming and going from the magnificent rendezvous of the former dictator of Italy.
Seen here, Cecelia was photographed in 1959 seated with her mother on the left holding a great-great granddaughter, Kim Neave, circa 1959.
Cecelia passed away in 1967.
Cecelia was buried beside her husband at New Centerville, after a separation of 30 years. Their grave plot is not far from her mother's.
~ Son Wilbur Samuel "Bert" (Buzzard Jr.) Zearfoss ~
Wilbur Samuel "Bert" Buzzard Jr. (1915-1979) was born on Oct. 8, 1915 in Mickley, Fayette County, PA. As a boy, he was adopted by his stepfather and took the name "Zearfoss."
Circa 1936, he worked as a coal miner and made his home in Stoystown. On June 10, 1936, the 20-year-old Bert was united in holy matrimony with 16-year-old Betty Mae Shaulis (1920- ? ), daughter of Harry A. and Helen G. (Baumgartner) Shaulis and a native of Quemahoning Township, Somerset County. Rev. Lewis F. Foltz officiated at the nuptials held in Stoystown.
The couple produced one known daughter, Frances G. Hartong.
During World War II, Bert served in the U.S. Armed Forces. After the war's end, he was employed by General Telephone Company of Pennsylvania and retired from the company.
Bert and Betty divorced, with the Somerset County court approving the marital dissolution on Feb. 8, 1945. On June 22, 1946, at the age of 26, she wed again to 32-year-old truck driver Ray Ferguson Queer (1914- ? ), son of Edward and Josephine "Josie" (Brant) Queer of Berlin, Brothersvalley Township. Ray had been married and divorced previously. The Queers remained in Somerset.
Later, Bert married again to Eva R. Shaffer (Jan. 11, 1917- ? ), daughter of John and Lizzie Jane (Meyers) Shaffer of Somerset. They were the parents of Robert Zearfoss and JoAnn Zearfoss. Their home in the late 1970s was at 241 Plank Road in Somerset.
As Bert's health declined in 1979, he was admitted to the Veterans Affairs Hospital in Pittsburgh. He died there at the age of 63 on May 5, 1979. Rev. Roger L. Forry officiated at the funeral service and burial at Beachdale Cemetery.
Daughter Frances G. Zearfoss (1940-1961) was born in about 1940. In about 1953, at the age of 13, she relocated to Akron, Summit County, OH. She married William Hartong ( ? - ? ) and they maintained a residence in Akron. The young couple bore two children, Christopher "Chris" Hartong and Cindy Hartong. Their address in 1961 was 113 Gale Street in Akron. Tragically, on the fateful day of June 27, 1961, William found his 21-year-old wife "sitting on a floor at home in a near-stupor," reported the Akron Beacon Journal. She was rushed to Akron General Hospital, where she succumbed. The mysterious nature of her passing led to a coroner's investigation. Her remains were lowered into repose in Crown Hill Cemetery. An obituary appeared in the Beacon Journal. William married again and in 1968 dwelled at 57 Belvedere Way in Akron.
Son Robert Wilbur Zearfoss ( ? - ? ) was born in (?). During the Vietnam War, he joined the U.S. Army and underwent infantry training at Fort Polk, LA. In 1987, his home was in Blairsville, Indiana County, PA. Circa 1987, he was united in wedlock with Evelyn Kathleen Eckert ( ? - ? ), also of Blairsville.
Daughter JoAnn Zearfoss ( ? - ? ) was born in (?). Evidence suggests that she dwells in Somerset.
~ Son Robert Ray Zearfoss ~
Son Robert Ray Zearfoss (1923-1986) was born on July 11, 1923 in Johnstown, Cambria County. He was 14 years old when his father was killed.
During World War II and the Korean War, he served in the U.S. Army. He was a longtime truck and bus driver, and was employed by Schrock Tour Buses of Berlin, Somerset County and by Carolina Freight, from which he eventually retired.
On Aug. 7, 1948, when he was 25 years of age, he married 23-year-old Helen L. Whipkey (Feb. 15, 1925-2003), daughter of Ralston and Margaret (Shupe) Whipkey of Somerset. Rev. B.F. Bungard led the nuptials held in Somerset. At the time, Robert and his mother made their home together at 465 Main Street in Somerset.
They were the parents of two sons -- Gregory Zearfoss and Bradley Zearfoss.
Helen was a nurse as a young woman and provided volunteer services for the American Red Cross. Later in life, she was active with a local RSVP program.
The Zearfosses had a second home in Tampa, FL while maintaining their Somerset residence at 1076 Sunset Drive. He was a member of the First United Church of Christ in Somerset and she of St. Paul's United Church of Christ.
Sadly, Robert died in Tampa at the age of 63 on Nov. 22, 1986. His remains were returned to Somerset County for interment at Union Cemetery in New Centerville. Rev. Joseph Beer officiated. An obituary was published in the Somerset Daily American.
Helen authored a number of historical articles for the Daily American newspaper during the 1990s. She graciously entertained several visits from the founder of this website in the late 1980s and shared treasured memories for development of this biography. She dearly loved her husband's grandmother, Martha Gorsuch. She attended the 1994 Minerd-Miner Reunion with a focus on Civil War soldiers in the family.
At the age of 78, Helen died at home on April 12, 2003. Burial was at Union Cemetery, with Rev. James Hughes officiating at the funeral. An obituary appeared in the Daily American.
Son Gregory Zearfoss was married and had a daughter, Kelli Jo Zearfoss. He lived in Tampa in 1986 and in Atlanta in 2003. From 1991 to 1996, he was employed in corporate marketing by Olive Garden. In that role, he directed regional and national marketing and launched the company's major NASCAR sponsorship and national charity initiative "Pasta for Pennies" which raised nearly $1M for Leukemia research. This included directing the company's sponsorship of Winston Cup stock car racer Dave Marcis (car no. 71). After that time, he was marketing director for Blimpie International in Atlanta -- director of international marketing for Focus Brands in Atlanta directing strategy for Seattle's Best Coffee, Cinnabon, Moe's Southwest Grill, Schlotzsky's and Carvel Ice Cream -- and international brand leader for Dunkin' Brands in Canton, MA. Today he is a marketing leader with Little Caesers in New York City. Greg has been interested in his Gorsuch roots and generously shared information with the founder of this website in the mid-1990s.
Son Bradley A. "Brad" Zearfoss ( ? - ? ) was born in (?). On Aug. 30, 1986, he was joined in matrimony with Deborah J. Rodkey ( ? - ? ), daughter of Robert W. and Carol M. Rodkey of Nanty Glo, Cambria County. The nuptials were led by Rev. Keith V. Lindsey at the Christian and Missionary Alliance Church in Nanty Glo. Husband and wife were pictured in the Somerset Daily American. They made their first home in Fort Pierce, FL in 1986 and later in Shanksville, PA in 2003. Circa 2001, he is believed to have been a planner with the County of Somerset and quoted in a Pittsburgh Post-Gazette story about Rockwood headlined "Little Somerset Town Has Big Hopes for Train Stop." Today he serves as director of the Somerset County Planning Commission. Among other major initiatives, he has been involved in planning the Flight 93 National Memorial.

Liveblogging the Thrilla in Indiana
Pundits say it will all come down to Indiana. Will Trump knock out his last strong opponent, Ted Cruz? The brawl begins, or rather ends, as polls close at 6 p.m. Eastern time.
Cruz has gone all out to win Indiana, but Trump leads by double digits in the latest poll. Conventional wisdom says the state is a natural fit for Cruz, but many factors suggest the Hoosier State is Trump country, especially the manufacturing presence and the fact that, while the state has a lot of "evangelicals," few of them attend church regularly.
Indiana will bind 57 delegates tonight: 30 delegates to the state-wide winner and 3 each to the winner in each of nine congressional districts. This means that even a small win tonight translates into a large delegate win. Nevertheless, a Trump victory tonight does not guarantee him the nomination -- that honor goes to California.
Still, it's a high stakes fight tonight, and Cruz and Trump have decided not to pull their punches. Cruz said the race is a battle between good and "evil," and Trump accused the Texas senator's father of playing a role in the JFK assassination. Stay tuned to see who gets knocked out.

That's all, folks. Trump won, Cruz pulled out (I'll have another post soon on why that was a boneheaded mistake), and Sanders beat Hillary, but not by enough to really push the needle in the delegate count. We're pretty much set for Trump vs. Clinton, so a lot of conservatives are searching for option 3. Hopefully, the Bernie folks will be searching for option 3 as well.
In any case, these liveblogs have been fun. Not sure when the next one will be.
If you want more, be sure to say so via this Twitter poll. Until then, we'll see you on the main page!

Hi Tamsyn, great blog, I have a lot to read up on! I hadn't heard about MonkiSee before but will take a look now.
I also wasn't too impressed with the LeapFrog Phonics Farm DVD. LeapFrog does have another DVD which I would recommend for learning the letter sounds, LeapFrog Letter Factory.
I would also recommend the Wee Sing & Learn ABC iPad App for learning the letters.
Thank you for the suggestions! I too have heard good things about the LeapFrog Letter Factory. In fact, my neighbor "accidentally" taught her son to read with it, and he's as sharp as a whistle. I'll have to check it out. I guess the best things aren't on Netflix. 🙂Reply
pushplaylearning 44 weeks ago: Loved reading about your children's reading development. I know with my kids each one was different, and I have gotten better teaching to their individual needs each time. Great job!Reply
Love this article! As we are also deciding when to become parents we have started doing research on how to raise the the right way. We learned a lot from you and really appreciate. Looking forward from another amazing article from you!Reply

Some people don't like cauliflower. I think it is because they've never had it any other way than boiled, which is the worst thing you can do to cauliflower.
Roasting it this way brings out a depth of flavor that will make your eyes open wide and your mouth do a happy dance!!
Roasting it this way brings out a depth of flavor that will make your eyes open wide and your mouth do a happy dance!!
Recipe By : Sitara
Serving Size : 8 Preparation Time :1:00
Categories : Vegetables Side Dishes
Amount Measure Ingredient -- Preparation Method
-------- ------------ --------------------------------
2 medium head cauliflower, cored and
cut into large florets
1 cup water
8 tablespoons (1 stick) butter, 4 tablespoons
diced, 4 tablespoons melted
Kosher salt and freshly ground pepper to taste
1 cup fine dry bread crumbs (panko)
1 cup grated Romano cheese
1 cup chopped fresh parsley
Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F.
1. Arrange the cauliflower neatly in a roasting pan, add the water, place the diced butter evenly over the florets, and season lightly with salt and pepper.
2. Bake uncovered for 30 minutes. Most of the liquid will evaporate and the cauliflower should be about half-cooked.
3. Thoroughly combine the melted butter, bread crumbs, cheese, and parsley, and sprinkle the mixture evenly over the florets. Return the pan to the oven, and cook for another 25 to 30 minutes, or until the cauliflower is tender but not overcooked.
The topping should be golden brown, not burned.

The Members Of Gone West Break Down "What Could've Been," Their Debut Single
More than Grammy Awards or platinum albums, sometimes friendship is greater to motivate creativity. Such is the case for how the harmonically buoyant, impossibly lush acoustic rock-country of Gone West came to be. Gone West's music brings a new freshness to modern country. Their single, "What Could've Been," was the most added first-week single by a debut artist this year and continues to grow in airplay and chart moves weekly.

Mohamed, an Ethiopian national seized in Pakistan in 2002 before being handed over to the Americans, was put on a plane to Britain after the U.S. government agreed to release him. He has never been charged or tried.

How do bacteria find food? It is an important question as everything and also bacteria need to intake food/nutrients to survive and grow.
Think about how you get food. First of all you realise that you are hungry, then you need to know where your next food source is, which can be either your fridge or the nearest take away, and then you move towards it.
Bacteria do it very similarly.
Interestingly, most bacteria can move or swim towards a nutrient as soon as they are hungry and they know where to find food.
This process of bacterial movement according to a chemical is called chemotaxis. Such chemicals can be nutrients like sugars, amino acids, nitrogen or oxygen among others like metals, hormones or neurotransmitters. A chemical that activates bacterial movement is called a chemoeffector.
The movement can be towards or away from the chemoeffector depending on whether the chemoeffector is good or bad for the bacterium.
Chemotaxis is a highly regulated mechanism because moving the whole bacterial cell costs a lot of energy. Just as you have to be very hungry to drag yourself up the sofa to move towards the fridge 😉
So how does all of this work? Yes, there is a figure.
First of all, a bacterial cell has to know that it is hungry which means it is missing a certain nutrient as in our figure sugar (in blue).
To know what is going on in the environment, bacteria have different chemoreceptors on their cell surfaces (in purple). These chemoreceptors contain two parts: one half sits at the outside of the cell while the other half is placed on the inside and both parts are connected through the bacterial cell membrane.
On the outside the chemoreceptor can bind the specific chemoeffector when it is present in the environment. This binding activates the chemoreceptor which is illustrated by the star in the figure.
On the inside of the cell the chemoreceptor is bound to a sensor protein (in red). This one is responsible to sense the signal; which in this case is when the chemoeffector is present in the environment. So the sensor protein gets activated when the receptor binds the chemoeffector on the outside.
This sensor protein then activates its partner, the response regulator (the purple pacman). This one is responsible to respond to the incoming signal.
When activated, the response regulator binds to the flagellum of the bacterium (the long appendix of the bacterium). The flagellum is a fascinating little machine and can be understood as a little rotor with a propeller. There are amazing videos of bacterial flagella on youtube.
Binding of the response regulator activates the flagellum and it starts spinning which moves the bacterium.
This movement is regulated so that the bacterium can be going towards or away from the chemoeffector. So with this bacteria can move towards the nutrient source or away from a dangerous or toxic chemoeffector.
Interestingly, bacteria do not only use chemotaxis to find nutrients. When they arrive within the human body or a plant they can also sense certain hormones or even neurotransmitters. In such case, the bacterium realises that it is indeed within a human body or plant and close to a human cell and it swims towards it. Then it can produce all their virulence factors and properly infect the cell and thus the body.
In any case, chemotaxis helps bacteria to survive either by finding nutrients or by helping them to infect cells and grow in them.
Take away from this week's article:
- bacteria use chemotaxis to know that they are surrounding by specific chemicals
- presence of the chemical activates their flagellum which allows them to swim
- they can swim towards the chemical if it supports bacterial growth or away if it is damaging

We had the first in a series of debates at work last Wednesday on Location Based Services (LBS).
The idea for the debates is to replicate the arguments we have internally via group emails in a collaborative, informal lunchtime session.
Mark Kelly – who previously debated the pros and cons of LBS here – chaired the session.
I made the case for LBS. My first point was that the technology is being discussed from an individual user point of view. Free muffins, vouchers and games are great – but the real power of the technology will come when large groups of people are using it in a network:
- Checking in and seeing who's about could be a great way to get a Saturday night going
- Crowd sourced local recommendations make choices easier, like when you're on holiday looking for a restaurant, and LBS will guide you to the door of where you want to go
- Friends' LBS history means you can let your best travelled friend be your tour guide
From a marketing perspective LBS solves a problem that local businesses have always had – understanding how their online spend translates to footfall and spend in store. Return on investment. Facebook deals for example allows you to see local offers on your phone. Emily White, director of local at Facebook states about businesses:
"They've been told they need to be online. But it hasn't always been clear what the benefit is. That's what this Deals platform allows. It's turning those fans, those visitors, those eyeballs into real dollars, real people and real business."
I ended with a more emotional argument to stick the knife into Sam Watson, my debate opponent.
The rich data trail LBS leaves could be invaluable in the future provided you are sensible with privacy settings. We rely – and have done since cavemen were daubing on cave walls – on our external environment to assist our memories & therefore enrich our lives (extended mind hypothesis). The photos, videos, places, people and events bound up in LBS form a digital layer to your life. In 20/30 years time when you are approaching your silver wedding anniversary you might want to remember in detail that autumn you met your other half, the places your went and the people your spent time with.
My verdict? Location Based Services make life a little easier, and encourage serendipity and connection between friends. Why wouldn't you take advantage?
Sam Watson then countered, centring on three areas:
- The noise – just another status update clogging a social network news feed
- "The next big thing" – the danger is that brand managers will jump on the bandwagon because it's a free tool – not because it offers anything meaningful to customers
- Privacy & data security – what are we doing with the information? Where is it being stored? Who can get access to this information and what could be done with it?
To conclude we took it to the floor and asked:
Q: As Marketers, would you use this tool?
A: A resounding "Yes"
Q: Would you use it personally, as it currently stands?
A: "Maybe"

12 Jul Get Friendly With Boomers
As you likely know, Baby Boomers are the wealthiest, and largest group of consumers today. And according to a study, Boomers are less loyal to brands than Gen X and the Millennials. This presents a huge marketing opportunity.
And yet, while those running companies are most often Boomers themselves, the marketing continues to skew toward youth.
Why is this a problem, when everyone knows Boomers think of themselves as "forever young"?
Well, the problem is that Boomers don't look at the world the same way that Gen X or Gen Y view it. Even if they're all on the same social media site, or all watching American Idol, it doesn't mean they are receiving the message in the same way.
For example, while Boomers may actually require more energy to keep going from day to night, it's not likely they're ordering Red Bull and vodka at happy hour. The fact is, Boomers don't want to be awake late at night. A majority of them already have trouble sleeping, and therefore, wouldn't want a stimulant in the evening.
So if you want to market to those who are going to be responsible for at least half of all consumer spending in the next few years (i.e. Boomers), it makes sense to think about both of your audiences.
You can sell pistachios to both Millennials and Boomers Gangnam style, as long as you show that the nuts are easy to open even if your dexterity is lowered. It won't bother the younger audience at all, because they won't even notice it. But the Boomers will.
I don't believe it was an accident that Geico had two very different ad campaigns running at the same time. Think about it, the cool urban caveman and the spunky little gecko with the British accent.
They didn't bother trying to hit both audiences with a single spot. Instead, they thought it over and produced two separate spots. Did it bother anyone both ran at the same time? Nope. And Geico is continuing to run dual ad campaigns, one now featuring a flying pig, and the other featuring hipster folk singers talking about how bizarrely happy Geico can make its customers.
Clearly running two ad campaigns is expensive. Most budgets won't allow two such strong campaigns, so we recommend a nod to the Boomers or a hint for the Boomers if your product or service makes sense for both audiences.
However, if your product is too expensive for the younger generations, you can feel free to bring out your inner me-generation, aging despite themselves campaign and go straight to that huge, wealthy Boomer audience.
Overall, for most products and services, the days of only addressing the 18 – 49 market will be seen again when pigs fly. Or at least when the huge Millennial population starts earning a lot more money.

CHUNKING BAIT aka CUT BAIT FISHING
hunking bait is smelly, dirty and messy but gamefish love chunks. The points below apply to any bait; Menhaden (commonly called Bunker, Mossbunker, Pogy), Mackeral, Herring, Anchovy or whatever is prevalent in your waters. Keyword in that sentence is fresh, not fresh two or three days ago. Always go out of your way to get and use fresh bait!
- Sharp knife required!
- Depending on the size of the bait you should slice it into four or five pieces. Some fishermen believe the head chunk is best but in my experience it makes no difference. When you use the head chunk I prefer placing the hook at the cut end. Not through the jaw, eye socket etc. My experience is that I get more hook sets but that's not a "rule."
- Do NOT toss the guts - an old trick is to use a small rubber band to hold the "blood and guts" in place. The fluids will spread out in the water and attract fish.
- When fishing from a boat with a conventional reel set the clicker to the ON position or with a very light drag setting. Spinning reel try it with the bail open or a light drag if the drift is too fast.
Fishing from the surf, a jetty, pier or other fixed position, a light drag setting works best (also see bait feeder spinning reels such as a Penn Slammer Live Liner or Shimano Baitrunner D). Conventional reel, free spool and use the reel clicker.
- Fish Finder Slider rigs without orange "floatie thingies" are good especially with Circle hooks.
Chunking with Fish Finder Slider Rigs Leader Lengths Optimum Length Boat 30 to 60 inches 36 inches Surf - Pier - Jetty - Fixed Position 6 to 30 inches 24 inches
- Chunks get washed out after 20 minutes or so. Cut your old chunk into smaller bits as chum and re-bait with a new piece of "blood & guts."
- Hooks: If you are going to use a standard "J" type hook such as a Baitholder or Octopus make sure they are big enough so that the barb is fully exposed. If necessary pierce your bait with your knife to get the hook barb exposed. Refer to Rig picture on right. This is doubly important with a Circle hook or you will miss fish so use large circles. Size 6/0 baitholder up to 10/0 Octopus hooks are not too big.
- Circle Hooks are designed to catch the fish's lip. Do not "set the hook" when a pick up is detected. You will either pull the bait out or end up falling flat on your keyster. The fish must make a turn away from you and swim off. You have to be patient, let the fish run off with the chunk and then either throw your reel in gear or apply full pressure. Fishing from a boat, Circles are perfect.
- Line Weight: Make sure you are using decent weight line. Chunking with 12 or 14 pound line is foolish. You can get by with 20 pound line as long as you are using Circle hooks. With regular "J" hooks you want to hit that fish so hard you cross its eyes, 30 or 40 or 50, up to 60 pound mono is the ticket. More info at Baitfishing, Let's Get Serious, The Fine Line between Fish and Man
- Tail Chunk: The tail chunk is pretty much worthless. Use it if Bluefish for any other gamefish that normally attack baitfish from the tail fin are present.
- Remember there are no rules so experiment!

Hi Buddies..
Hello again friends! We're back with a whole new story to be told. This morning we woke up at around 5 a.m, which was really tiring. It was still dark when we woke up. After that, we had breakfast at the hotel. The food was okay. And the service wasn't really good. And the menu didn't have a lot of diversity and they didn't serve mineral water…
To continue our day, we went to KCPSS for the first time. When we arrived, they greeted us kindly and they were very friendly. And then we were given a piece of paper which concluded their birth dates, favourite colours and animals, and hobbies. Then one of the teachers guided us to a room that was quite big. And we thought it was a dancing room because the room had lots of mirrors on the wall. When we got into the room, our buddies were wearing masks. And we had to find our buddies by ourselves with the information on the piece of paper that was given to us.
And then we played games made by our buddies. YAYYY!!! Those games were called "Whack a Mole" and "Splash BANG!". Those games were played so that we could know our buddies better. The games required to know other buddies' name. It was tiring but so fun. And after that we followed our buddies for lessons. Our buddies' classmates were really friendly. Some of them greeted us and they asked our names as well. And then we went to art class. We were given a task to make a 3D art that tells a story. Then we went to the cafeteria to have lunch. And after that we went back to the art class to finish our work.
After school we went to Orchard Road. We bought gifts for our friends and families. At first we bought chocolates. After buying chocolates, we bought Singapore's ice cream. And it was delicious!! Then we did some shopping and walked around. Next we had dinner at the Takashimaya's food court. Some of us had noodles and some of us had rice. The food was delicious. We were full after that, but not Samuel. After eating rice he had noodles. He had five courses of meals today. We were a bit shocked and surprised. After that we went back to the hotel. And here we are now going to sleep and preparing for tomorrow. See you and good night!! :)

I have many blogs in the hopper that will be coming soon, but in the meantime, I wanted to pop in to ask a question.
Why is it, when we're driving we assume that anyone honking must be honking at us?
This morning I was driving to work, a guy was driving the opposite direction and honked, I looked, and he waved. I waved back, obviously. Then I started wondering, "who was that?" And I glanced in my rearview to see him pull over to talk to the guy walking down the sidewalk. Clearly, that's who he was waving at.
Whoops. Narcissistic, much? But for some reason, you hear that honk and immediately assume it's for you.
Why is that?
Query of the day.

Article 50: what's next for investors?
Since the UK voted to leave the European Union the domestic economy has experienced a more muted reaction than expected, as has the UK stockmarket. Sterling, however, has declined.
Stronger-than-expected consumer spending has helped support the economy, while, in part, the resilience of the UK stockmarket has been the result of investor appetite for international stocks with foreign - particularly US dollar - earnings.
But now that the trigger has been pulled on Article 50, what next?
Azad Zangana, Senior European Economist & Strategist, said:
"The depreciation in sterling has largely been as expected and we are now seeing the inflationary effects of higher import prices feeding through into household inflation. We are trying to see how households will cope with this higher inflation. Real disposable incomes were growing at close to 5% at the start of last year, but by its end had actually fallen to zero as inflation picked up.
"Inflation has continued to rise and is currently at 2.3%. We forecast it to increase to up to 3.5% by the middle of this year, which implies disposable income will shrink further in the coming quarters, and should cause households to either reduce their spending or savings. As it happens, households have been reducing their savings for some time and the savings rate is as low as it was during the financial crisis. There's very limited scope for households to cut back savings further to prop up consumption. We expect a slowdown in consumption and therefore GDP through this year.
"We expect the formal negotiations between the UK and the European Commission to begin in May this year and Michel Barnier, the European Commission's chief Brexit negotiator, has said he thinks the deadline to complete them has to be around October 2018. In terms of the scope of the negotiations, the first area which will be debated will be the "exit bill", the cost of leaving based on the existing liabilities of the UK. This issue does have the potential to delay negotiations on other aspects, which risks both sides running out of time to not only complete the negotiations but also to come to a fair conclusion and therefore a settlement for the UK.
"Beyond the immediate divorce proceedings, there will have to be a broad framework agreed for the future relationship. This should include a framework for trade but it will not be a trade deal. Instead, a transition agreement is quite likely between both sides which may last four or five years. Versus the current arrangement it is likely to be a step from full and free access, to something where there is going to be some restriction – maybe the UK gives up agricultural trade, in favour of the pharmaceuticals industry and financial services. There seems to be a desire to negotiate on a sector-by-sector basis, the EU will probably resist – it's unclear how the negotiations will play out.
"If no agreement is reached and they run out of time then we could find ourselves in a "Hard Brexit" situation, this would be the unilateral withdrawal from the EU, without any agreement on trade or any other aspect of the relationship. This is seen as a pretty negative outcome from pretty much all sides, except for a hardcore element within the current UK government. We believe it could potentially be quite damaging.
"Moving onto World Trade Organization rules would impose much higher tariffs than would otherwise be the case on goods. It wouldn't cover services at all, so the difficulty of exporting services would become much, much greater. And it would lead to a very poor outcome for future relations, be it co-operation on security or other elements."
Keith Wade, Chief Economist & Strategist, said:
"In terms of risks facing UK markets, we have seen the beginning of a slowdown in the domestic economy which would probably lead you to be more concerned about small caps. If Brexit negotiations are quite difficult then we could see bouts of weakness in the pound, and that would possibly provide further support for the market's overseas earners. The bigger issue is whether, in the event of political disruption for example, there was a loss of confidence in the UK and sterling. If we were to see repeated falls in the pound feed through into wages and price expectations then the Bank of England would have to tighten and I think that would create a very difficult situation for markets in the UK, particularly the bond markets."

Having repeatedly said before the general election that he was not interested in the mayoralty, it is quite right that Zac Goldsmith should seek the views of residents about whether he should stand for selection as the Conservative candidate for London Mayor.
However, he remains coy about whether or not it is his intention to do two jobs if his ambitions are to be realised.
I believe it is important that Richmond Park and North Kingston has a full time Member of Parliament at all times, and so Mr Goldsmith ought to tell local people swiftly what his intentions are about this aspect of his plan.

Get $900
Do You Need Loans Online Today?
How Can You Get a $900?
There are lots of online lenders offering you to apply for a $900 loan, but borrowers want to choose the best offer from those available.
Different things are important to keep in mind when considering lenders and their conditions because it is important to avoid any unpleasant issues.
In this article, you will find the relevant information on that, so you should read it.
There are several types of loans and a payday loan is one of them.
If you apply for one, you will be obligated to pay it back plus interest from your next salary.
This means that you should decide if getting 900 dollar loan for less than 30 days is bearable for you.
If you make something like $1,000 per month, this just does not make sense because to be able to pay for other expenses, you will have to apply for another loan.
Moreover, you will unlikely be able to get that much money if you do not have a good level of income.
Another option that you can consider is applying for installment loans which will be paid on a monthly basis for several months.
How Can You Get an Installment?
It is possible to get a 900 payday loan to pay in several installments, but what if an applicant has bad credit?
You should understand that loan conditions differ depending on lenders and you can find companies offering loans with no credit check.
It looks attractive but this does not mean that you will be approved or you will get as much money as you want.
Moreover, dealing with such companies may require paying a higher interest.
However, a worker has a good credit score and level of income, he or she will be able to enjoy reasonable conditions.
At the same time, people who have less than perfect financial history can apply for a secured loan because this provides lenders with additional guarantees.
How to Find the Best Lender?
Today, you do not have to spend your time going to land-based financial institutions because there are many online lenders operating online.
There are direct lenders that you can find or you can send your application through lending platforms, which allows it to be seen by different companies at the same time, which increases your chances of getting a loan.
It is important to remember that all these service providers try to look attractive, but not all of them are reliable and honest.
Therefore, you should pay your attention to the following factors:
- Is it easy to reach their support team?
- Is there enough information on the website?
- What are customer reviews on a certain service provider?
Borrow Online
When looking for a lender to give you 900 dollars, you should decide if you need to get a payday loan or installment loan.
It may take you some time to find a reliable loan provider, but it is possible.
You just need to compare the conditions of different companies, check their reputations, and make sure that you will be able to pay everything back on time.

This ensures that the performance remains intact even after numerous washings unlike any other moisture transport technology currently available.
2. As you exercise, your body perspires to cool itself. In warm conditions, sweat condenses on your skin and builds up heat.
3. Moisture is pulled away from the skin making your skin cooler and drier.
4. Once the fabric absorbs the moisture, it is spread rapidly across a broader surface area for faster evaporation, drawing the heat out of the body.
5. The fabric starts its drying process, allowing for a consistent and rapid moisture transport ability over a long use time.
