Prevention and recovery of (mu(3)-diethylentriamino)-chloro-palladium(II)-chloride induced inhibition of Na/K-ATPase by SH containing ligands - L-cysteine and glutathione
No Thumbnail
MetadataShow full item record
The effect of (mu(3)-diethylentriamino)-chloro-palladium(II)-chloride ([PdCl(dien)]Cl) on the activity of Na/K-ATPase from porcine cerebral cortex was studied in vitro, in the absence and presence of -SH containing ligandS L-cysteine and glutathione (GSH). The aim of the study was to elucidate the mechanism of [PdCl(dien)](+) induced inhibition of the enzyme activity and to examine the ability of thiols to prevent and recover the inhibition. The coordinative interaction between [PdCl(dien)](+) and enzyme was verified by UV and H-1 NMR spectra. The semblance in the changes in absorption spectra of [PdCl(dien)](+) in the presence of Na/K-ATPase and thiols (L-Cysteine and GSH) suggested that the complex ion interacts with enzymatic sulfhydryl groups. [PdCl(dien)](+) inhibited the enzyme activity in a dose-dependent manner. The Hill analysis of the inhibition curve yielded the half-maximum inhibitory activity value, IC50 = 1.21 x 10(-4) M, and Hill coefficient, n = 0.7, suggesting the nega...tive cooperation for binding of [PdCl(dien)](+) to the enzyme. Dependence of the initial reaction rate on the concentration of MgATp(2-) exhibited typical Michelis-Menten kinetics in the absence and presence of the inhibitor. Kinetic analysis showed that [PdCl(dien)](+) inhibited Na/K-ATPase by reducing the maximum reaction rate (V-max), rather than changing the affinity to the substrate (Km). Kinetic parameters derived using Lineweaver-Burk transformation of experimental data indicated the non-competitive nature of Na/K-ATPase inhibition. The inhibitory constant, K-i = 1.05 x 10(-4) M, was determined from secondary replot of Lineweaver-Burk graph, and correlated with stability constants of [Pd(dien)(thiol)] complexes. 1 x 10(-3) M L-Cysteine or GSH prevented the enzyme inhibition induced by Pd(II) complex cation when present below 1 x 10(-4) M. The both thiols completely reversed the inhibited activity in the concentration dependent manner, due to the complex formation with [PdCl(dien)](+). (c) 2006 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.

Letters To My Baby ~ #10
Wow! Not much longer and you will be considered full term. I cannot wait to meet you, even though I still feel so unprepared. We finally bought a couple boxes of diaper and some wipes. You also have some cute new clothes. My wonderful friends are hosting a baby shower for us next month. I'm so humbled to have friends like them.
I finally figured out how to get some sleep, although I feel so guilty about it. Although my doctor has approved and reassured me that it wouldn't effect you, I still feel bad but it's the only way I'm able to sleep. I have been taking Magnesium supplements, Tylenol, and Benedryl each night before going to sleep. This has helped me to go from waking up every half hour to an hour, to sleeping all through the night except for one trip to the bathroom and I haven't had anymore leg cramps. I've also been sleeping in the recliner with a heating pad on my legs. It's amazing, the difference I feel. I'm also making sure to stay real hydrated each day.
Your movements are stronger than ever. You're going to be one tough boy! I see the doctor again in 2 days. Although I feel you moving around all the time, I still look forward to hearing your heart beating. You get hiccups a lot. Sometimes they're so fast, that I wonder if it's hiccups or something else; although I don't know what else it could be.
If I take it easy, I don't have many contractions. But the moment I start doing more, they really pick up and I find myself timing contractions and wondering if I'll have to go back to the hospital. I still have complete peace. Everything is going to be great! You have a calling on your life; a mighty calling. God will use you to do great things. The first great thing you will do is change our lives. You will remind us again about the simple things in life, like a baby's smile and that wonderful newborn smell. I love you so much! Counting down the days until I hold you in my arms.
I'm Amanda and a Christian homeschooling Mom to 4 awesome boys from ages 4 to 20.
I have an amazing, supportive husband, a passion for encouraging others in their faith, and helping new homeschoolers find their way through their journey.
Thank you for stopping by and getting to know me better.

Attempts to resolve the Quandary:
"No philopolemicist zoilus would dare to attempt the resuscitation of a cheap sword-and-sandal journal such as the Boys Own Paper in competition with QQ," purred Mimsy Whimsey into the ear of the Assistant Editor, and Mr Savile Rowe lapped it up like a dish of milk, as he was led by the nose upstairs to Mimsy's private apartment, and the infamous boudoir of which so many scurrilous insinuations were published in the Scandal Sheets circulated from hand to hand among London's underground cognoscenti; it was designed by William Morris and the focus was a copy, by Whistler of his Symphony in White, No. 1: The White Girl, in which the face of Joanna Hiffernan had been replaced by that of Mimsy himself - it was said, cruelly, by some of the artist's detractors, that Mimsy's was in fact the original and that both he and Miss Hiffernan, were Whistler's lovers, though which came first, it was almost impossible to know; Savile, not unexpectedly, was quite overcome by emotion, feeling himself almost to have been blessed by an angel, in the form of Whimsey - it was as if all his dreams and most secret fantasies had come true and it was only by a supreme act of willpower that he prevented himself from falling at his host's feet, and swearing undying love; instead, he drew his body up to it's full height, just an inch beneath Mimsy's, took Whimsey's hand and led him towards the Four Poster which stood at the centre of the room, at which point he was taken entirely by surprise, was thrown onto the bed, quickly straddled and defeated and, in the course of the next three hours, learned much of a wider range of sexual possibilities that he had ever previously imagined; it was a rather disheveled Assistant Editor who limped into the offices, later than usual, the next morning to a number of knowing winks and nudges from the other staff, and even the Printer's Devil, Tiny Tim Cratchit, seemed to know far more that he should about how Mr Rowe had spent the previous night, which his puffy eyes and haggard expression indicated had not included much sleep, if any!(by MissTeriWoman)
Call me a rabid zoilus if you must, but I feel it is my duty to ridicule the idiotic proposal to change the name of the Pacific Ocean as a misguided attempt at resuscitating sword-and-sandal politics by out of touch philopolemic dinosaurs.(by The Masked Pimpernel)

At this rate, Iron Maiden will have to open their own line of pubs to sell the ever-growing list of alcoholic beverages. To add to their beers list made at Robinsons Brewery, the band have released its latest offering, Trooper Nitro.
Number four in the band's selection of Trooper Ale's, Trooper Nitro is also crafted at the Robinsons Brewery and will only be available in kegs and will be charged with nitrogen and CO2 gasses.
Trooper Brand Manager Sam Kennerley said of the new addition: "Our keg version of Trooper has been extremely popular but after listening to feedback from our customers and numerous on-trade trials, which had outstanding results, we decided to switch to mixed gas. The result – an awesome longer lasting keg-conditioned Trooper ale whose deep and complex flavor has been enhanced with a cooler temperature and a perfect serve." Adding: "Trooper Nitro is the first of many exciting projects with Bruce [Dickinson] and Iron Maiden that are in the pipeline for Trooper in 2019. Stay tuned".
Looks like this could be the first of many more. Cheers to that.

Alone in the frontier desolation surrounding their family farm, siblings Caroline (Madison Davenport) and Darrell (Jake Johnson) wait for the return of their Mother and Father, who took off in a covered wagon. As the two go about their days, maintaining their home as best as two children can do, they find that they may not be alone after all; there are strange sounds coming from behind the boarded-up attic door. To make matters worse, Caroline continues to cough up blood.
The Attic Door is a spooky mystery on a number of different levels. As the children are increasingly terrorized by the sounds from behind the door, and their imagination of what is making those sounds, so too does their isolation and abandonment issues take hold. The true horror may not be coming from what may be hiding in their house, but instead the reality of their situation.
And unfortunately, the reality is that two children have to take on the roles of their parents, from milking the cow to killing the chickens; nothing new by farming standards, but still somewhat unique to the two youngsters. All the while without any news on when, or if, their parents will be returning.
To extend these fictional responsibilities into the realm of the film's production, just as the two children do the heavy-lifting on the farm, so too are the young actors required to carry practically the entire film. By no means is it a simple task for two children to be the main cinematic focus, without anyone else to play off of, and succeed. Massive respect and kudos to Madison Davenport and Jake Johnson for doing something that not even adult actors can necessarily pull off consistently.
In the end, The Attic Door is frightening on a number of levels beyond its supernatural hints, and wonderfully affected beyond the explanations and turns in its final minutes. It achieves its storytelling strength through a simple tale of frontier hardship, bolstered by the great performances by its two young leads.

A German technology firm claims to have come up with an app that would make questions about wine's serving temperature a thing of the past.
'How Cool Am I?' uses sensors in the smartphone to detect temperature. Users simply start the app, then point their smartphone camera at the wine in question. Within seconds, the app sends the user a text message relaying the temperature of the wine in the viewfinder.
The app has been on trial at the Unglaub Bar in Berlin for several weeks, and following positive feedback is now ready for roll-out.
'We've been using it here for a month,' said the bar's GM, Avril Poisson, 'and it's been a godsend. It's so easy to use that even our Commis Sommelier got the hang of it. How Cool Is It? Super-Cool!'
The creators are hoping to hit 5,000 downloads in the first month of the product becoming available on the App Store and Google Play Store, and are already working on a program that can detect alcohol levels.
'We would hope to have 'How Strong Am I?' ready by the end of this year,' said the company's CEO, Helmut Herr. 'But so far it is only reliable up to 14.5% abv, which means that it would not work in the American market.'

An entire botanical garden of genomes
Credit: China National GeneBank
An article published today in the Open-Access journal GigaScience provides data that effectively triples the number of plant species with available genome data. This mammoth amount of work comes on the back of the growing efforts of the scientific community to sequence more plant genomes to aid in understanding their complex evolution and provide practical information for improving agricultural yield. To date, around 350 land plant genomes have been sequenced. The desire for more plant genome sequences has recently been highlighted with the announcement of the 10KP project, which aims to ultimately sequence 10,000 plant genomes to resolve the evolution of all the major branches of the plant tree of life. The work here provides images, raw sequencing data, assembled chloroplast genomes, and preliminary nuclear genome assemblies- all freely available. Effectively this work is a digital representation of an entire botanical garden.
Researchers from the China National GeneBank, BGI, and the Forestry Bureau of Ruili, China have sampled and sequenced 761 samples, representing 689 vascular plant species from 137 families and 49 orders. The plant samples are all from in and around the 500-hectare Botanical Garden in Ruili, a subtropical part of China bordering Myanmar. Being in a biologically rich part of China, the garden is committed to protecting endangered and Chinese-endemic plants, including the preservation and archiving of these germplasm resources to assist with their long-term conservation. This project is the world's first scientific and systematic attempt to digitize a whole botanical garden based on genomic as well as voucher specimen information.
On the scientific potential of this resource, BGI's CEO and author on the paper Xun Xu highlights that: "Current understanding of the evolution of plants and their diversity in a phylogenomic context is limited because of the lack of genome-scale information across phylogenetically diverse species. This innovative project integrates a new way of thinking about the digitization of all the plant species to augment evolutionary and ecological research in botanical gardens."
In total, the researchers produced 54 terabytes of sequencing data, with an average sequencing depth of 60X per species. In addition to the basic challenge of carrying out DNA sequencing on this number of species, another major task was scaling up the species identification, digitizing images of the specimens, and building a new herbarium for their storage at a new China National GeneBank (CNGB) herbarium in Shenzhen. So far, of the 761 specimens, sequence and chloroplast data has enabled the identification of 257 plants at the species level and 504 at the family level. Deep learning has also been successful applied to 181 species to enable them to be identified to the species level.
Author Ting Yang says that this was "the largest amount of data I have ever processed. During the data analyses, I think the biggest challenges was sequence checking and results examination." This required researchers to individually check each of the 761 sample's sequencing data, and compare the chloroplast gene sequences with herbarium specimens for species identification.
Another difficulty relating to simply getting to the point of being able to do the sequencing work was collecting all the samples. Author Jinpu Wei states: "We cooperated with experts from the Ruili Forestry Bureau to collect plant materials distributed in the area of Ruili for the establishment of a digital botanical garden. After 45-days of tiring effort, we collected 1,093 plant materials. Although it was challenging for us to transport the materials properly, we finally managed to ensure the high quality of these plant materials for future research."
Corresponding author, Xin Liu, adds that the project "was a baseline project to fine tune and standardize the sampling, methodologies, and the data accumulation and analyses techniques for large-scale genome projects like the 10KP (10 thousand Plant Genome Project). From this project, we have gained considerable and useful experience for subsequent sample collection, sequencing, and assembly. At the same time, the data produced from this study can be effectively used in subsequent genome projects."
Despite having constructed only one sequencing library for each species, the authors were able to assemble preliminary genomes for 17 of them, reflecting the quality and reuse potential of the DNA. Researchers at the Chinese University of Hong Kong have already independently assembled the genomes of species of particular interest to them. The potential for the wider research community to study their species of interest, improve other genomes, develop tools and methods, and provide education opportunities for new generations of scientists is enormous.
Lead author Huan Liu added that "Genomic characterization will provide a large amount of basic data for plant genome assembly, which will be an excellent start for the 10KP project. At the same time, it lays a good foundation for the future research on the correlation mechanism from macroscopic ecology and biodiversity to microscopic molecular level."
To promote more extensive data sharing than just making sequence data available, the researchers are also making the digitized images available and providing access to the herbarium. The Herbarium (HCNGB) serves as a living plant database that records the position of species grown in the Ruili Botanical Garden and monitors the status of each species.
All the digital data generated here (images, raw sequencing data, assembled chloroplast genomes, and preliminary nuclear genome assemblies) are available via the NCBI SRA, GigaScience GigaDB database and China National GeneBank CNSA. Additionally, to enable the data to be searched and genomes and species identification to be updated, metadata is indexed and linked via Datacite and GigaDB. And all resources are released without restriction under a CC0 waiver.
Author Dr Sunil Kumar Sahu highlighted that this is the most important legacy of the project "This dataset is of great value to plant researchers, and more importantly, can serve as a reference for future planetary-scale genome sequencing projects including the Earth BioGenome Project (EBP) and 10 thousand Plant Genome Project (10KP)."
All data from this project are freely available under a CC0 waiver in the GigaScience database, GigaDB, in a citable format as follows: Liu H et al.

Duke University patient tests negative for Ebola, remains in isolation
A patient in an isolation ward at Duke University Hospital has tested negative for Ebola after developing a fever after a trip to Liberia, North Carolina state public health officials announced Monday morning.
Officials said the patient will remain in isolation while the first test result, which is considered preliminary, is confirmed by follow-up testing. The North Carolina Department of Health and Human Services said the patient, who was not identified, had no known exposure to Ebola and had no other symptoms besides the fever.
The patient arrived from Liberia at Newark Liberty International Airport on Friday, traveled to Person County in northern North Carolina Saturday and developed the fever Sunday, the department said in a statement. The patient's transfer to Duke University Hospital, about 30 miles south of Person County, was carried out under appropriate health and safety protocols, according to the health department.
Tests are underway to determine whether the fever was caused by another condition, the department said. The patient is being interviewed about travel and personal contacts as public health officials conduct "precautionary control measures," including monitoring anyone in contact with the patient after the fever developed.
North Carolina Gov. Pat McCrory said in a statement that public health officials have worked since July "to prepare for the possibility that a patient in North Carolina might be diagnosed with Ebola." Health officials said risk of exposure is extremely low.
"Ebola is not spread through the air, water or food – or simply by being near an infected person,'' the health department statement said. Ebola is spread only through unprotected contact with blood or body fluids from an infected person who has symptoms, or with objects such as needles that have been contaminated with the virus.
Several people in the United States have tested negative for Ebola after being placed in isolation upon arriving from countries in West Africa where the virus has spread. Public health officials have been on high alert since summer, paying close attention to anyone who has traveled to countries where people have contracted the virus.
At least five Americans have contracted Ebola after traveling to West Africa. Four have been cured. An American doctor, Craig Spencer, 33, is being treated at Bellevue Hospital Center in New York after becoming ill Oct. 23 after working with Doctors Without Borders in Guinea. His doctors said Saturday that he was stable and responding well to treatment. A Liberian man, Thomas Eric Duncan, who contracted Ebola in that country, died at a Dallas hospital Oct. 8.
National nervousness about the disease has led to several false alarms across the U.S., with subsequent tests showing the patients did not have Ebola. Another scare occurred Friday in Oregon, where a woman was hospitalized. Officials said Saturday that she is at low risk for Ebola.
Nearly 5,000 people have died of Ebola during the current outbreak since December, according to the World Health Organization. Most cases have been in Liberia, Sierra Leone and Guinea.

Automation and gamification could be key to thwarting cyber threats
Automation and the use of gamification are keys to defending against cyber criminals, according to new research from security technology provider McAfee.
The company commissioned market researcher Vanson Bourne to survey 300 senior security managers and 650 security professionals in the U.S., U.K., Germany, France, Singapore, Australia and Japan, and found that 46 percent of respondents think in the next year they will either struggle to deal with the increase of cyber threats or that it will be impossible to defend against them.
A majority of respondents (81 percent) think cyber security would be more successful if greater automation were implemented, and 78 percent said the current generation entering the workforce, those who grew up playing video games, are stronger candidates for cyber security roles.
See Also Security attacks are rising in sophistication and effectiveness
Complicating the dynamics of the competition between security responders and cyber criminals is the cyber security skills crisis. Survey respondents think they need to increase their IT staff by nearly one quarter (24 percent) in order to manage the threats their organizations are facing, while 84 percent admitted it is difficult to attract talent and 31 percent said they do not actively do anything to attract new talent.
"With cyber security breaches being the norm for organizations, we have to create a workplace that empowers cyber security responders to do their best work," said Grant Bourzikas, chief information security officer at McAfee.

Always Look On The Bright Side Of Life
Well another SPL season is just around the corner, so it's nearly time to look out your lucky scarf, fill yourself with the kind of optimism only possible before a ball has been kicked and of course prepare to renew old rivalries, only this time, this year like no other, everything is different, the game is still the game, but the game has changed. Do not worry though, despite what the naysayers have insisted on telling you, different doesn't necessarily mean bad, it just means, well, different.
I'm gonna level with you here bhoys and ghirls I hated every second of the Rangers (or whatever the fuck they're called now) saga. Not through any sympathy for the plight of our former foes you understand, but purely and simply because all I, all any of us have heard, read or watched about Scottish football in the last few months has been unremittingly negative.
I came dangerously close to giving up on the game that has given me more moments of sheer ecstacy, more instances of abject despair than if I had an industrial strength heroin addiction.
Now though with the action itself nearly upon us, the fog has been lifted, and I can see life in the Scottish game again. Maybe it's the realisation that despite the scaremongering, despite the bullying and the threats, clubs all across the land have stood shoulder to shoulder with those who really matter (the match going support) and have actually done the right thing, actually taken a morally sound decision. Rangers/Sevco/The Rangers (whatever I really don't care) are in Irn Bru SFL 3.
As one Scottish football supporters have drawn a line in the sand, everything that happens now happens in an entirely new context. It is up to us to ensure that this post liquidation, post Rangers future is a rosy one. Forget the dinosaurs of the past, there is no place in the new Scottish footballing landscape for the negativity and flagrant agendas espoused by Doncaster, Regan, Traynor and Keevins, they will linger for a while, but if we play this right, before long they will be consigned to the history books, under the chapter 'counter revolutionaries'.
The financial wasteland we were repeatedly told would be upon us has not materialised, Sky are still here, yes the terms are reduced but by an amount that can easily be made up by a modest rise in attendances. The signs are encouraging, reports of increased season book sales and sold out allocations are enough to put a skip in this fans step.
We were told we needed a strong Rangers, we don't, what we need is a competitive league, full of locally nurtured players in stadiums that are welcoming and accessible to all, and we have the chance of a lifetime to make it so, it is a chance we must not miss.
The blue team from across the city (I've given up trying to work out what to call them) will be back, they will be a different animal but they will be back, and on their journey they may even stir up some interest in the divisions below the SPL. When they do return there is a good possibility they will find a new, shiny, sexy SPL with a resurgent 'New Firm' or a genuine challenge from the capital, that my friends is a thought to relish.
So it's up to us my dear friend, let's bin the negativity, let's end the scaremongering, it's time to do as the title of this article implores, and 'always look on the bright side of life'.

Growing the Leaders of Tomorrow
AT AGE 3 WHEN DAN MUELLER saw SeaWorld Orlando's "Kraken" for the first time, he became captivated.
"I was in awe watching the ride for hours," Mueller recalls. The spark provided by Bolliger & Mabillard's floorless roller coaster ignited a passion.
"Now I want to design roller coasters," says the civil engineering major at The Ohio State University (OSU), who also chairs OSU's student-led Theme Park Engineering Group.
Mueller is the face of young professionals working towards a career in the attractions industry, where sustainability doesn't just encompass environmental initiatives; it also guarantees the attractions industry will remain solvent.
"Sustainability is about thinking long term when it comes to all aspects of the industry, including how the industry secures and develops the next generation of professionals," says Andreas Andersen, CEO of Liseberg and chair of IAAPA's new sustainability task force.
In December, as WinterFest extended the shoulder season at several Cedar Fair parks, the company also extended its stake in the future. Cedar Fair announced a partnership with Bowling Green State University (BGSU) to support a new bachelor's degree program that will train future leaders. BGSU worked with Cedar Fair and IAAPA to compose a curriculum. In an unprecedented move, Cedar Fair will also construct and finance a new five story building for BGSU across Sandusky Bay from Cedar Point.
"By partnering with BGSU in a co-op based program, we are able to provide students with both field and classroom experiences to develop the skills our industry needs," explains Duff Milkie, executive vice president and general counsel for Cedar Fair.
The attractions operator will own the 78,000-square-foot building in downtown Sandusky, Ohio, which will be home to classrooms, offices, and 80 apartments for the first students arriving in 2020.
The new BGSU school joins the Rosen College of Hospitality Management at the University of Central Florida (UCF) in Orlando, Florida, the Academy for Leisure at Breda University of Applied Sciences in the Netherlands, and EuroCollege University of Applied Sciences in the Netherlands, among others offering education in attractions management. The IAAPA Foundation supports future professional growth and awards scholarships annually to students enrolled at UCF's Rosen College.
IAAPA's manufacturer and supplier community is also developing leaders. Nasal, US Thrill Rides, Ride Entertainment, Rocky Mountain Construction, Great Coasters International Inc., WhiteWater, Sally Corp., and Premier Rides have participated in SKYnext, an annual networking and educational event hosted by Skyline Attractions for engineering students.
"SKYnext places participants in front of industry giants, with the focus of developing the young professional," says Skyline Partner and Vice President Chris Gray.
Representatives from Universal Parks & Resorts, Walt Disney Parks and Resorts, Six Flags Entertainment Corp., and SeaWorld Parks & Entertainment have also made presentations, while Skyline gets an early look talent, some who have become Skyline employees upon graduation.
In the front row of SKYnext last year: Dan Mueller.
"I am inspired by how everyone is ready to help us move along," he concludes.

"Cooperation between Environmental and Production activities" seminar was over successfully
In Hangzhou, China, May 13th, Asprova held "Cooperation between Environmental and Production activities" seminar, sponsored by Canon IT Solutions.
Consideration for environmental conservation is an important part of corporate management. Companies are requested that environmental considerations and business growth go hand in hand in the process of growing. However, companies must appease the environmental movements of Japan, China, and even the world. Grasping the impact of production activities is the first step towards promoting production efficiency at the same time.
The seminar discussed decreasing CO2 emissions and green procurement, and described corresponding changes in production and more effective support to the development of production methods and examples on the basis of "visual" management.

SAFETY4SEA: In today's rapidly changing business environment, it is essential that companies digitally transform to stay competitive. In your view, do you think that the maritime industry is lagging behind others – and if so, what are the reasons?
Arun Sharma: The maritime industry has entered the era of digital transformation later than other sectors, but with cautious optimism towards a better shipping ecosystem. Change is now being embedded at a commendably fast pace where we are witnessing a relatively quick uptake and smooth implementation of modern technologies which are expected to raise safety standards and improve the industry's level of efficiency, without harming the environment.
S4S: Which are currently the trends affecting the global shipping market and what will be the key challenges within the next years?
A.Sh.: With the sophistication of technology, we foresee:
- Consolidation likely to continue – not just in the classification society arena but in other sectors within the industry as well. The creation of bigger and smarter ships that we are seeing today, for example, could potentially put smaller classification societies at risk of being inadequately capable of servicing these larger vessels due to their limited resources and expertise in IT and research, and therefore seek to form alliances with other classification societies.
- More facets of intelligent shipping will be introduced within the next years – using transformative technologies including blockchain and artificial intelligence (AI) to revolutionise operations and processes in shipping, thereby augmenting the human element. And to do so would require a digitally-savvy workforce or an upskilling of the existing workforce.
S4S: How will the Fourth Industrial Revolution affect the industry and how could we prepare for?
A.Sh.: The Fourth Industrial Revolution represents the rise of cyber physical systems including unmanned aerial vehicles, augmented reality, the Internet of Things (IoT), sensor technology and geo-spatial technology.
With these technologies, we can expect business efficiency to increase drastically as:
- Surveys/inspections will be conducted by drones, assisted by augmented reality (AR)
- Geo-spatial technology / AR optimising existing infrastructure
Whilst these new technologies will continue to transform computing into hyper-connected systems that integrate human, physical and digital environments, there are potential associated risks such as the difficulty to integrate and regulate these technologies to all applicable markets in the maritime industry.
S4S: What sort of innovations do you think that will top the list and shape the things to come?
- More software-controlled ship systems will be created to automate tasks/processes for the purpose of improving efficiency levels.
- Use of blockchain to implement smart contracts could mean greater efficiency with the elimination of intermediaries, high accuracy and increased transparency.
- Condition-based monitoring is likely to be more prevalent (not necessarily replacing traditional five-yearly surveys) as it is especially useful in detecting early warning signs – derived from real-time vessel performance data, and also helps to make surveys less disruptive.
But with the technological element underlying its operation, evaluating the reliability of the security infrastructure is an essential step to take prior to adoption.
S4S: Where do you see the role of classification societies in the current maritime digital transformation?
A.Sh.: With new technologies and increasing adoption of software-controlled systems comes new threats to the shipping landscape – including hacking and other cyber-related issues.The role of classification societies today would then expand to include guiding the maritime community on managing/tackling these issues, ensuring damage is kept to its minimum, without steering away from its core role of ensuring safety at sea and protection of the environment.
S4S: Can you tell us how IRClass is aiding this transformation? Can you see your organization's current business model in a new, technologically advanced, futuristic shipping industry?
A.Sh.: With the maritime industry becoming increasingly-connected and digitalized, IRClass recognises the importance of tackling cyber-related issues including cyber safety and security, and has come up with the following initiatives:
Guidelines on Cyber Safety
Cyber security is fast evolving into a major concern for the maritime industry.
To prepare the industry for the perils of cyber, IRClass has developed Guidelines addressing cyber safety onboard vessels, as well as separate Guidelines to address cyber safety of land installation based on international standards.
Cyber Risk Management Training
With the introduction of threats associated to digitalization, comes the need to strengthen cyber security. IRClass conducts training for shipping personnel to:
- Tackle issues specific to information and operational systems
- Increase awareness of external and internal threats, risks as well as vulnerabilities
- Ensure consistent understanding of documentation and audit requirements
- Improve design and implementation aspects in new facilities and existing installations
Having these initiatives implemented establishes the dynamics of the digital ecosystem in a changing shipping landscape, and with heightened awareness, the maritime community are less likely to be vulnerable to cyber-attacks.
S4S: Looking ahead, what would be your top priorities on IACS agenda taking the helm as Chairman from 2019?
A.Sh.: The maritime industry is going through a technological and regulatory upheaval. The new regulations are increasingly challenging the industry players to bring about a marked change in the way the industry operates. The maritime sector looks up to IACS to provide the technical leadership to use technological innovations for driving efficiency and to support and facilitate compliance with the upcoming regulations. One finds today that various industry players are coming up with their own solutions through tie-ups, collaborations with tech firms. This could result into multiple platforms with multiple solutions being offered which may eventually lead to lack of standardisation. I therefore believe that there is a need to have industry-wide standards to address these new challenges and IACS is probably better suited to use its collective knowledge and expertise to bring about universal standards to benefit the industry.

10.1371/journal.pbio.0060284.g010 Bangfu Zhu Jenny A Pennack Peter McQuilton Manuel G Forero Kenji Mizuguchi Ben Sutcliffe Chun-Jing Gu Janine C Fenton Alicia Hidalgo A Common Origin for the NT Superfamily Underlies Nervous System Structure and Function 2008 Public Library of Science nt superfamily underlies 2008-11-18 01:56:26 article https://plos.figshare.com/articles/figure/_A_Common_Origin_for_the_NT_Superfamily_Underlies_Nervous_System_Structure_and_Function_/586986

(A) NT superfamily members identified in protostomes (Drosophila) and deuterostomes (vertebrates, Amphioxus, sea urchin, and acorn worm) imply that NTs were present in Urbilateria, their common ancestor. A protostomian NT gene would have duplicated to give rise to DNT1, DNT2, and spz in insects or perhaps earlier. A chordate NT duplicated twice to give rise to the four vertebrate NTs, and the NGF ortholog duplicated again in fish to result in NT6/7. Identified Trk and p75 receptors are also shown; Trk-like receptors lack some extracellular domains. NT receptors and signalling mechanisms may have diversified through evolution. Annelids, flatworms, nematodes, and tunicates are not shown, see Figure S1.

(B) Hypothesis that the NTs are required in all centralised nervous systems to link structure and function. NTs are also present at least in acorn worm with a nerve net, a diffuse nervous system, where NT may play a subset of functions, suggesting that NTs could also be present in lower animals (e.g., Cnidarians). Drosophila can be used as a model system for NT-related studies.

ADHD materializes dramatically differently in girls, with potentially serious negative consequences.
In Quartz, Jenny Anderson reports that girls' ADHD symptoms tend toward inattentiveness and disorganization, vs boys who typically exhibit hyperactivity.
"Anxiety and depression turn into low self-esteem and self-loathing, and the risk for self-harm and suicide attempts is four-to-five times that of girls without ADHD," 2012 research shows.
ADHD is a chronic neurobiological disorder which affects the brain structurally and chemically, as well as the ways in which various parts of the brain communicate with one another.
According to this Quartz article,
- ADHD affected 7.3% of girls in 2011, compared to 16.5% for boys.
- Girls tend to develop ADHD later than boys. They frequently mask it in an attempt to conform to society's expectation that they are on the ball and organized.
- While ADHD symptoms can become less intense for boys after puberty, for many girls, it gets worse.
- Teachers and parents often miss the warning signs.
- Failing to diagnose the condition, girls miss out on critical academic services and accommodations, as well as therapy and medication.
- Many girls end up misdiagnosed and treated with anti-anxiety or depression drugs, some of which exacerbate the effects of ADHD.
According to the Journal of Clinical Psychiatry study referenced in the Quartz article, there is "evidence that boys are wildly over-diagnosed with ADHD."
Read "Decades of failing to recognize ADHD in girls has created a "lost generation" of women" on Quartz.

At the World Pork Expo, there was lots of opportunity to talk trade and domestic pork production, as well as the release of April export numbers. Despite current trade headwinds, and as more poultry, beef and pork protein enters the marketplace, can demand keep up with supplies?
Federally inspected meat production is up 3.7% so far this year, says Dustin Baker, deputy director, economics and domestic production for the National Pork Producers Council. But demand for U.S. continues to be strong domestically and internationally.
Looking at the latest export numbers, from January through April, pork exports were up 4.3% on volume and 9% in value from a year ago—a positive position to be in going into larger supplies. While those numbers do not reflect recent tariff impacts from China or Mexico, it shows the positive direction and excellent demand for U.S. pork internationally, Baker says.
In 2017, U.S. pork saw record export volume, nearly 2.45 million metric tons, and the second highest year on record in terms of value at $6.5 billion.
Cold storage, one of the ways to understand the strength of demand, has been increasing but is still about even with historical averages over the last five years. Also, the restaurant performance index remains strong, driven by a strong overall economy.
People consume a lot of bacon, but bellies haven't really been the driver of the overall pork carcass cut-out like they were a year ago, representing a 21% drop from 2017. "We typically see a peak come the summer months, and so I'm hopeful that we haven't quite hit that peak yet," Baker says. "This is the perfect time to be filling your freezers with bacon."
Still Baker is bullish on pork, both domestically and internationally.
"The bottom line is that American pork producers are the best at what they do," Baker said. "Given a level playing field and access to markets, we can out compete anyone if we are allowed to do so. So despite the headwinds our industry faces, I remain very optimistic about the future of our industry."
Listen above to Baker's predictions for the fall and first quarter 2019 pork prices and supply.

United India Assurance Co. Ltd. & Anr. v. Hyundai Engineering and Construction Co. Ltd. & Ors. 1 (August 21, 2018)
1. In an insurance policy, the arbitration clause stipulated that disputes between the parties shall not be referred to arbitration if the insurance company has disputed or not accepted liability under or in respect of the insurance policy. In an appeal filed by the insurance company against a judgment under Section 11 of the Arbitration and Conciliation Act, 1996 ("the Act"), the Supreme Court examined the construction of the arbitration clause, to eventually conclude that the arbitration agreement was incapable of being enforced as the insurer expressly denied its liability.
Factual Background
2. Hyundai Engineering and Construction Co. Ltd. & Ors. ("Respondent") was awarded a contract for the design, construction, and maintenance of a bridge. Subsequently, the Respondent obtained a Contractor All Risk Insurance Policy ("Policy") from United India Assurance Co. Ltd. & Anr. ("Appellant"/ "Insurer") for the entire project.
3. During the construction of the bridge, a fatal accident occurred which resulted in significant losses to the contractor. The Respondent submitted a claim for these losses to the Appellant. While the Appellant appointed a surveyor to assess the loss, the Ministry of Road Transport and Highways, Government of India set up a committee of experts ("Expert Committee") to enquire into the accident. The surveyor and the Expert Committee both concluded that the accident was caused due to faulty design and improper execution of the project by the contractor.
4. Relying upon the findings of the surveyor and the Expert Committee, the Appellant addressed correspondences to the Respondent and repudiated the claims as the Policy specifically excluded losses/damages caused by faulty design, defective workmanship or material. While the Respondent requested the Appellant to re-assess its decision of repudiation of the claim, the Appellant rejected the Respondent's pleas for a reassessment.
5. Thus, disputes arose between the parties which led to the Respondent invoking the arbitration clause in the Policy. The Respondent nominated a sole arbitrator and called upon the Appellant to confirm the nominee or to nominate its own arbitrator in terms of the arbitration clause. As the Appellant did not accede to the request to appoint an arbitrator, the Respondent filed an application under sections 11(4) and 11(6) of the Act, before the High Court of Madras ("High Court") for the appointment of an arbitrator.
6. In the proceedings before the High Court, the Appellant placed reliance on the arbitration clause in the Policy which inter alia provided that "no difference or dispute shall be referable to arbitration as herein before provided, if the Company [Appellant] has disputed or not accepted liability under or in respect of this Policy".
The Appellant resisted reference to arbitration and contended that the only remedy which the Respondent can take recourse to is institution of a civil suit. The Appellant also contended that the period of limitation to institute a suit started would start from the date of receipt of the first intimation through which the Appellant denied the claim. However, the High Court observed that an arbitration agreement existed between the parties, and by way of an Order dated 30 November 2017, the High Court nominated an arbitrator on behalf of the Appellant ("Order").
7. Aggrieved by the Order, the Appellant filed an appeal before the Supreme Court by way of a Special Leave Petition. The issue which arose for consideration before the Apex Court was whether the disputes were barred from reference to arbitration since such disputes were not covered by the arbitration clause.
Observations and Findings of the Court
8. The Supreme Court relied upon its ruling in Oriental Insurance, wherein in a similar factual scenario, the Supreme Court observed that the arbitration clause can carve out exceptions to exclude the applicability of the arbitration clause. Strictly construing the arbitration clause, the Supreme Court held that "If a clause stipulates that under certain circumstances there can be no arbitration, and they are demonstrably clear then the controversy pertaining to the appointment of arbitrator has to be put to rest." 3
9. The Supreme Court concurred that the insurer should unequivocally admit its liability to trigger the arbitration clause, and therefore the dispute between the parties would be limited to the quantum payable under the Policy.
10. Testing the judicial precedents in light of the present facts, the Supreme Court observed that, the Appellant expressly denied its liability and therefore the arbitration clause was "ineffective and incapable of being enforced, if not non-existent". The Supreme Court held that the dispute was therefore "non-arbitrable".
11. In view of the above, the Supreme Court accepted the plea of the Appellant, allowed the appeal and set aside the Order. While the Supreme Court observed that the only remedy the Respondent can take recourse to is to institute a civil suit for mitigation of grievances, it kept the issue of limitation open for determination before the appropriate forum.
12. With the intent of determining whether the Appellant had excluded the applicability of the arbitration clause between the parties, the Supreme Court examined the facts of the case. However, a brewing cause of concern is that the amended Act had sought to limit the scope of the court's intervention specifically to examining the existence of an arbitration agreement. While Section 11 (6-A) of the Act provides that at the time of considering an application for appointment of an arbitrator the court shall confine itself to "the examination of the existence of an arbitration agreement", in the present case the Supreme Court has diverged from the very essence of section 11 (6-A).

I'm not really in to Bank Holiday weekends, I find them so boring and pointless and I'm the type of person who would much rather be working than having to rush around due to early closing times and pushed about due to thousands of children everywhere. But alas, this Easter Bank Holiday wasn't all that bad. I went to a Car Boot Sale in Chelford (apparently the second biggest Car Boot in the UK, but actually wasn't all that big to be honest). I've not been to a Car Boot Sale since I was a kid really, when I used to go with my Grandad who was (and still is) a pro car-booter and frequents them every week during the bootin' season. I *always* have to best intentions to go to them, but there's just something about that early start which puts me off….
So, I went with my mother, waking up at 7am on my bloody day off and off we popped. I wore my favourite Hunter boots as the weather was looking a little dreary, but it managed not to rain the entire time we were there. It took about 25 minutes to drive there from where I live and I had such super high hopes. It even cost us £3 to park my car. But alas, a majority of the car boot was actually just shit. I'm assuming some people just picked up a load of random crap from fly tippers or something as 70% of the place was stuff you'd find in a skip. Considering to have a stall there you need to pay £12(!) I've no idea how they even begun to break even. Maybe some people were off put by the weather though as it did look like it was going to rain. But alas, 30% of the stalls were alrayt. There was a few ladies who were obviously selling their old clothes and unwanted Christmas presents, so that's where I picked up the Bliss Lemon and Thyme gift set up from. That cost me £3 after haggling the woman down from a fiver, because I'm a pro like that (joking, actually, I was super scared to haggle)…. I did manage to pick up all 4 garments, including that amazing collared floral dress, for £10 altogether and they were all brand new with tags on! I don't know where the bloke had gotten them all from as they are all different brands and some I'd seen in Urban Outfitters and Ark. The floral dress though, I have seen on So In Fashion and they're selling it for £28! Considering I'd paid £2.50 for it, I think it makes me love it a bit more each time I look at it. I also got a cute little crop jumper (failing to see it was a size 14, whoops) and a lace jumper dress thing, as well the super cute demin dress with crochet middle part.
So overall, not a wasted trip and it's kinda given me the urge to go to more Car Boot sales in future even though this one wasn't the best in the world! I imagine in the peak of summer it might get a bit better. Victoria always manages to pick up millions of bargains, including make up which is often brand new. So maybe I will have some of her luck in future. Still pleased as punch with those bloody dresses and top mind.
