My wife and I spent two nights at Waterford Castle, eating dinner in the restaurant once. The hotel is really relaxing and in most respects is very good. Staff are friendly and professional and the food is excellent. The ground are a joy to walk around and the ferry crossings are frequent making a trip to Waterford City easy.
Our only small gripes were about the rooms which are large and ooze character however cleaning was not great with debris visible behind the bath and obvious dust in some corners.
Overall though this is a lovely place for a city break with a difference.

To disconnect is possible, and it it is only when the heat of a chimney receives you at your arrival or a bathtub hydromassage waits in your room. Even more when everything is impregnated by the heredity Castilia de La Mancha of Atienza, a meeting point in the saw of Guadalajara that can presume to be a very well kept secret. We are placed in an ancient construction of the XVIIIth century, with eight rooms equipped with all luxury of details. The decoration is much more than the classic inspiration, it is a work of art, that has its own musical instruments museum. In all sounds more than 300 instruments, which are rare and proceeding from the whole world. Much more than love for the music: it is a real treasure.

The Ainu, a minority ethnic group from the northernmost island of Japan, was investigated for DNA polymorphisms both from maternal (mitochondrial DNA) and paternal (Y chromosome) lineages extensively.
Other Asian populations inhabiting North, East, and Southeast Asia were also examined for detailed phylogeographic analyses at the mtDNA sequence type as well as Y-haplogroup levels. The maternal and paternal gene pools of the Ainu contained 25 mtDNA sequence types and three Y-haplogroups, respectively.
Eleven of the 25 mtDNA sequence types were unique to the Ainu and accounted for over 50% of the population, whereas 14 were widely distributed among other Asian populations. Of the 14 shared types, the most frequently shared type was found in common among the Ainu, Nivkhi in northern Sakhalin, and Koryaks in the Kamchatka Peninsula.
Moreover, analysis of genetic distances calculated from the mtDNA data revealed that the Ainu seemed to be related to both the Nivkhi and other Japanese populations (such as mainland Japanese and Okinawans) at the population level.
On the paternal side, the vast majority (87.5%) of the Ainu exhibited the Asian-specific YAP+ lineages (Y-haplogroups D-M55* and D-M125), which were distributed only in the Japanese Archipelago in this analysis. On the other hand, the Ainu exhibited no other Y-haplogroups (C-M8, O-M175*, and O-M122*) common in mainland Japanese and Okinawans.
It is noteworthy that the rest of the Ainu gene pool was occupied by the paternal lineage (Y-haplogroup C-M217*) from North Asia including Sakhalin. Thus, the present findings suggest that the Ainu retain a certain degree of their own genetic uniqueness, while having higher genetic affinities with other regional populations in Japan and the Nivkhi among Asian populations.

The Saami are regarded as extreme genetic outliers among European populations. In this study, a high-resolution phylogenetic analysis of Saami genetic heritage was undertaken in a comprehensive context, through use of maternally inherited mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) and paternally inherited Y-chromosomal variation.
DNA variants present in the Saami were compared with those found in Europe and Siberia, through use of both new and previously published data from 445 Saami and 17,096 western Eurasian and Siberian mtDNA samples, as well as 127 Saami and 2,840 western Eurasian and Siberian Y-chromosome samples.
It was shown that the "Saami motif" variant of mtDNA haplogroup U5b is present in a large area outside Scandinavia. A detailed phylogeographic analysis of one of the predominant Saami mtDNA haplogroups, U5b1b, which also includes the lineages of the "Saami motif," was undertaken in 31 populations. The results indicate that the origin of U5b1b, as for the other predominant Saami haplogroup, V, is most likely in western, rather than eastern, Europe.
Furthermore, an additional haplogroup (H1) spread among the Saami was virtually absent in 781 Samoyed and Ob-Ugric Siberians but was present in western and central European populations.
The Y-chromosomal variety in the Saami is also consistent with their European ancestry. It suggests that the large genetic separation of the Saami from other Europeans is best explained by assuming that the Saami are descendants of a narrow, distinctive subset of Europeans.
In particular, no evidence of a significant directional gene flow from extant aboriginal Siberian populations into the haploid gene pools of the Saami was found.
""The Jomon are the obvious ancestors of the Ainu but not of modem Japanese," says C. Lonng Brace, an anthropologist at the University in Michigan in Ann Arbor. "
Those differences can be as profound as skin color and body proportion ordinarily used as the standards to define "race".
Interestingly enough, several of the gene variants that enable the Eskimo to live in the far North are similar in operation to those that allow the Sa'ami to live there, but they affect different genes on the same segment.
Thought I'd mention that because it can become confusing when reading about Sa'ami living on seal and Eskimon living on seal, and how they do that. You really do have to have some "differences" in the way your body handles the surplus iron you are consuming ~ plus, when you put Sa'ami and Eskimos on a modern Western diet they both develop diabetes, heart trouble, alcoholism, and so forth.
As you know some FR threads are incredibly interesting.
I have no problem with that. It's just that I rarely even remember making a particular post from that long ago.
It's like I'm reading it for the first time and noticing that I posted it.
One of the little quirks in Japanese anthropological studies has been the indifference of so many researchers to the existence of the Emishi.
They weren't just literary devices of early story tellers. No doubt they and the Ainu are of the same ancestry as the Jomon, but the Emishi had advanced culturally to the same degree as the Yayoi and Korean invaders.
No deja vu in my mind either!
It's amazing how many times I run across FR threads while doing a search on the internet.
Recalling that the Chinese were literate, and the Hakka were not, neither were the Yayoi when they arrived in Japan.
It's somewhat later (8 centuries in fact) before the first Korean speaking Koreans arrived from Korea.
The Hakka, in five migrations, moved from Northern China to Southern China and even today are know as 'the guests'. When they began the migrations in the north, many had Caucasian features and those with those features were killed and persecuted all the way across China.
This is believed to be apocryphal.
Still, modern Japanese may be found who have a "bridge". There's also a vast number of them who have "beep" noses like Charley Brown.
Hmmm, that is going to upset Latinos who claim they are the indigenous peoples.
Also, light or curly hair.
Also, on some of the hakka web sites, I've seen them argue among themselves about whether they are Han or not.
All same thing these days though. We had one Freeper note that the Hakka girls are prettier than the Han girls and I'd be forced to agree on that point.
I think it's something more like the "curl" you find in the hair of the base population in Okinawa. As far as "light" hair goes, there are North Central Asians who definitely have "light" hair ~
My local (Hakka) Chinese friend says the same thing. He said that in front of his wife and then said, "see how pretty she is."
I remember a DNA study that was done a couple of years back that was trying to "prove" the land bridge theory by comparing the mitochondrial DNA of native new worlders from South America, Central America, West Coast of North America all the way up to Alaska, in the hopes that they could establish a linear link of DNA all the way back to Siberian natives. But they could not. IIRC, they established that the closest link to South American natives' DNA was to people from TAIWAN!...........
I suppose that it is possible that the Ainu came across the same land bridge as the later people. It's interesting that the indigenous people lobby is now including the Ainu as the indigenous (and exploited) people of Japan.

6 of 7 people found the following review helpful
This review is from: Arrested Development - Season 2 [DVD] (DVD)
This is such an amazing show. Following a once-wealthy family, the Bluth's, as they descend into chaos following head of the family George Sr's arrest for building houses in Iraq, it reveals itself to have everything. Episodes only run for 20 minutes but it rivals the Simpson's for the amount of gags the fit in that time. From running jokes (so many you catch most on repeat viewings) to amateur magicians, the Fonz as a inept lawyer, to a teenager becoming a movie executive and an accidental recruitment to Iraq, Arrested Development Season Two and the equally brilliant Season One have it all!
Roll on season three...

Owning a dog comes with its own advantages and disadvantages. There are some special efforts that a dog owner should take to ensure the dog care and adequate security. They need to take all necessary initiatives that can keep the dog of the content inside the fence and that he has no problem from the outside, from other pets and their property as well as the neighbor – and that is why the in-ground dog fence is so interesting. There are some options available that can be used to keep your dog inside your yard. There are several types of fences dogs that are used to dogs, including wooden fence, chain link fence, brick, the in-ground dog fence, etc. The latest trend, which is widely followed by pet owners is to install an invisible barrier for dog safety. In case you also want to install this wall, then the following section will definitely prove to be helpful to you.
About hidden dog fence
Before you go through the reviews, it is very important to understand what a hidden dog fence is for and how it works. Typically, the invisible dog fence is a set of dog collar and a wire. If it is a dog fence without invisible thread, then, consists only of collar that works similarly to mobile phones. About invisible thread is about 400 m length of wire you need to bury in the backyard. The collar for dogs and this buried wire are connected with a short drive. This unit sends signals when the dog crosses the area with certain limit. In the first, warns the dog with a beep and the dog still cross the border, then it goes through a mild electric shock. This is where dog training plays a big role to make the dog understand the meaning of the beep-collar. Once the dog gets mild electric shock, you gradually learn to stay within the limit. Invisible barriers are used by most dog owners to sensitive areas of the property such as swimming pool, garden, garage, ponds and garden.
Comments and general thoughts oninvisible dog fence
There are numerous benefits of aninvisible dog fence for dogs. For example, this is one of the best fencing ideas for dogs, if you are looking for less maintenance and more effectively. Once it disburses money to buy invisible fence for dogs, so you only need to change the batteries in the dog collar after 3-4 months. These fences can be used for aged dogs eight months or longer. However, reviews reveal that if you have a toy breed dog, then it must weigh at least 2-2 pounds and a half before take home an invisible barrier for him. The fence works well for the area of over 25 hectares. Find out more in this post.
Get to know all of the advantages
Another advantage that has come forward in many reviews is that it is really easy to install and works great, as you train the dog to understand the invisible dog fence. The best part is that you can also travel or move to a new location with invisible fence (if you have). In this case, portable wireless options invisible barrier are quite positive. There are some things that are highlighted in many comments. Reviews say you need to take the leash during night time, so that the dog stays away from irritation or rash. It is also advised that if you owned a dog with thick fur, then you need to trim a small piece of your skin so he can feel the electric shock that comes from the invisible dog fence.

Dynamical thermalization in Bose-Hubbard systems

A bosonic many-body system can exhibit the Bose-Einstein distribution in its single-particle eigenstates not only if it is coupled to a heat and particle reservoir, but also if it is subject to a two-body interaction of moderately low strength which couples the single-particle eigenstates with each other. We numerically verify this dynamical thermalization conjecture within disordered Bose-Hubbard rings of finite size whose parameters are chosen such that the dynamics of the system can be expected to be ergodic [1]. This allows one to associate with each many-body eigenstate of the Bose-Hubbard system well-defined (positive or negative) values for the effective temperature and the effective chemical potential which depend on the energy per particle of the eigenstate under consideration [1]. With this information one can then predict the populations of single-particle eigenmodes within each many-body eigenstate of the system according to the Bose-Einstein distribution, without knowing more details about the quantum dynamics of the many-body system.

Aims The aim of this study was to evaluate the impact of "VeinoPlus Sport" on amateur soccer players' recovery after an intense physical activity (2 drills). Method We proceeded to a comparative study between two devices: "VeinoPlus Sport" and "TENS" (used as a control system) on a population of 20 players (average age 17,1±0,8). Under identical conditions each player used the two devices during two separate sessions (called group "VeinoPlus Sport" and group "TENS"). The players performed an intense effort following the YoYo test concept. Four blood samples were taken from each participant and a Myotest evaluation was performed: one before the test, one just after the first intense effort, another after a short recovery time following the first effort, and the last one right after the second intense effort. For statistical analysis, we used the Anova algorithm of the "StatPlus" system and a Scheffé test. Results With both devices, we observed a significant elevation of lactate, HCO3− ions, and myoglobin as time progressed. The analysis of other blood parameters did not show any significant evolution in the course of the testing. The "VeinoPlus Sport" group, after the session, expressed feeling lighter and more fit than usual following an intense physical activity. They did not suffer any pain, tiredness, nor diminishment of strength. The same observation was made with the "TENS" group with the exception that some players felt a bit of soreness in their thigh and calf areas. In general, all participants admitted preferring the use of recovery machines instead of natural recovery. At the same time, none expressed any preferences between either of the devices. Conclusion The main asset of this study resided in the highlighting of minor differences as no way significant between the two machines tested on the chosen population. The "TENS" shows similar results as the "VeinoPlus Sport" even if a slight preference for the latter was expressed. Both devices permitted an equal or even better performance in the second drill in comparison to the first drill. [less ▲]Detailed reference viewed: 39 (5 ULg)

Owing to the reduction of population density and/or the environmental changes it induces, selective logging could affect the demography, reproductive biology and evolutionary potential of forest trees. This is particularly relevant in tropical forests where natural population densities can be low and isolated trees may be subject to outcross pollen limitation and/or produce low-quality selfed seeds that exhibit inbreeding depression. Comparing reproductive biology processes and genetic diversity of populations at different densities can provide indirect evidence of the potential impacts of logging. Here, we analysed patterns of genetic diversity, mating system and gene flow in three Central African populations of the self-compatible legume timber species Erythrophleum suaveolens with contrasting densities (0.11, 0.68 and 1.72 adults per ha). The comparison of inbreeding levels among cohorts suggests that selfing is detrimental as inbred individuals are eliminated between seedling and adult stages. Levels of genetic diversity, selfing rates (∼16%) and patterns of spatial genetic structure (Sp ∼ 0.006) were similar in all three populations. However, the extent of gene dispersal differed markedly among populations: the average distance of pollen dispersal increased with decreasing density (from 200m in the high-density population to 1000m in the low-density one). Overall, our results suggest that the reproductive biology and genetic diversity of the species are not affected by current logging practices. However, further investigations need to be conducted in low-density populations to evaluate (1) whether pollen limitation may reduce seed production and (2) the regeneration potential of the species.

Machine learning models have been successfully applied to neuroimaging data to make predictions about behavioral and cognitive states of interest. While these multivariate methods have greatly advanced the field of neuroimaging, their application to electrophysiological data has been less common especially in the analysis of human intracranial electroencephalography (iEEG, also known as electrocorticography or ECoG) data, which contains a rich spectrum of signals recorded from a relatively high number of recording sites. In the present work, we introduce a novel approach to determine the contribution of different bandwidths of EEG signal in different recording sites across different experimental conditions using the Multiple Kernel Learning (MKL) method. To validate and compare the usefulness of our approach, we applied this method to an ECoG dataset that was previously analysed and published with univariate methods. Our findings proved the usefulness of the MKL method in detecting changes in the power of various frequency bands during a given task and selecting automatically the most contributory signal in the most contributory site(s) of recording. With a single computation, the contribution of each frequency band in each recording site in the estimated multivariate model can be highlighted, which then allows formulation of hypotheses that can be tested a posteriori with univariate methods if needed.

Aims. The main-sequence B-type star zeta Cassiopeiae is known as a N-rich star with a magnetic field discovered with the Musicos spectropolarimeter. We model the magnetic field of the star by means of 82 new spectropolarimetric observations of higher precision to investigate the field strength, topology, and effect. Methods. We gathered data with the Narval spectropolarimeter installed at Télescope Bernard Lyot (TBL; Pic du Midi, France) and applied the least-squares deconvolution technique to measure the circular polarisation of the light emitted from zeta Cas. We used a dipole oblique rotator model to determine the field configuration by fitting the longitudinal field measurements and by synthesizing the measured Stokes V profiles. We also made use of the Zeeman-Doppler imaging technique to map the stellar surface and to deduce the difference in rotation rate between the pole and equator. Results. zeta Cas exhibits a polar field strength B_pol of 100-150 G, which is the weakest polar field observed so far in a massive main-sequence star. Surface differential rotation is ruled out by our observations and the field of zeta Cas is strong enough to enforce rigid internal rotation in the radiative zone according to theory. Thus, the star rotates as a solid body in the envelope. Conclusions. We therefore exclude rotationally-induced mixing as the cause of the surface N-enrichment. We discuss that the transport of chemicals from the core to the surface by internal gravity waves is the most plausible explanation for the nitrogen overabundance at the surface of zeta Cas.

Context: Hypoxic-Ischemic encephalopathy (HIE) remains a major cause of perinatal brain injury. The brain rapidly increases in size, shape and complexity during the second and third trimesters. A sentinel event in late pregnancy or the intrapartum period may have an acute profound effect on a previously neurologically intact fetus, leading to the development of (HIE). The nature of the deficits is dependent on the gestational age and severity of the insult, though it is seldom reported in preterm infants. Studies in animal models of HIE may provide important information for the development of treatment for this pathological condition. Estetrol (E4) is a recently described estrogen with four hydroxyl-groups that is synthesized exclusively during pregnancy by the human fetal liver. Objective: In this study, we evaluated E4's neuroprotective and therapeutic potency in neonatal (in vivo) HIE model of the immature 7-day-old newborn rat. Methods: Rat pups body temperatures were examined along with their body and brain weights. Brains were studied at the level of the hippocampus and cortex. Intact cell counting and expressions of markers for neuronal early grey matter damage (microtubule-associated protein-2 (MAP-2)), neurogenesis (doublecortin (DCX)) and angiogenesis (vascular-endothelial growth factor (VEGF)) were evaluated by histo- and immunohistochemistry. The serum levels of two markers of brain damage (S100B and glial fibrillary acidic protein (GFAP)) were measured by ELISA. Results: Our results demonstrate that E4 has a significant neuroprotective and therapeutic effects. Estetrol decreases the early gray matter loss, and promotes neuro- and angiogenesis in vivo. Estetrol treatment has no effects on body weight, brain weight or body temperature. Conclusion: Taken together, E4 might become an important safe and physiological substance to treat neonatal HIE.

Non-invasive imaging techniques and analytical instrumentation for cultural heritage object studies have undergone a tremendous development over the last years. Many new miniature and/or handheld systems have been developed and optimized. Nonetheless, these instruments are usually used with a tripod or a manual position system. This is very time consuming when performing point analysis or 2D scanning of a surface. The Centre Européen d'Archéométrie (CEA) has build a translation system made of pluggable rails of 1 m long with a maximum length and height of 3 m. Three motors embedded in the system allow the platform to be moved along these axis, toward and backward from the sample. The rails hold a displacement system, providing a continuous movement. Any position can be reached with a reproducibility of 0.1 mm. The displacements are controlled by an Ethernet connection through a laptop computer running a multiplatform homemade software written in JAVA. This software allows a complete control over the positioning using a simple, unique, and concise interface. Automatic scanning can be performed over a large surface of 3 meters on 3 meters. The Ethernet wires provide also the power for the different motors and, if necessary the detection head. The platform has been originally designed for a XRF detection head (with its full power alimentation) but now can accommodate many different systems like IR reflectography, digital camera, hyperspectral camera, Raman probes, etc. The positioning system can be modified to combine the acquisition software of the imaging or analytical techniques and the positioning software.

The Sam Francis's colors, literally described as vivid, saturated, pure, vibrant intense and rich, largely contribute to the unique character of his work. This idiosyncrasy explains the interest in conducting an extended study on the Francis' painting materials through analytical techniques. On the other hand, many Francis' paintings display colored surfaces that exhibit bronzing, fluorescent or opalescent effects. As a consequence, retouching paint losses from Sam Francis works may become a challenging task for the involved conservators, the degree of the color matching required in the imitative technique being particularly difficult to attain, in the presence of such surfaces. Furthermore, the attained degree of the color match has to be conserved in all conditions of illumination and observation. The use of pigments chemically similar to the original ones is often necessary for matching highly chromatic pigments. Though, many modern synthetic organic pigments (SOPs) possess high color strength. That is why the characterization of the Francis palette would provide helpful information to the conservators, which have to deal with this type of issue. The upcoming Getty publication Sam Francis: The Artist's Materials, planned for 2016, offered the opportunity for in-depth analyses of hundreds paint samples. Almost three hundreds of paint fragments supplied by the Sam Francis Foundation have been investigated at the GCI laboratory, by using three complementary analytical techniques, Py-GC-MS, Raman and FTIR spectroscopies. The Raman spectroscopy is one of the most efficient techniques for identifying SOPs in paint systems, while the Py-GC-MS and FTIR methods provide essential information concerning the binding media. The analyzed paint fragments were sampled from twenty-nine canvases and works on paper, made between 1946 and 1992. Although, primary established in Southern California, Sam Francis spent numerous long journeys in different places around the world, including Paris, Bern, Mexico City, New York and Tokyo. However, the material study has outlined the uninterrupted use of` certain classes of SOPs in specific colors. For example, copper phthalocyanine (CuPc) pigments were systematically detected in the blue and green samples, while azo pigments have been identified in most of the yellow areas sampled from post 1940s works. Regardless of the support and the paint technique, the Francis' blues primary contain Ultramarine and/or CuPc blue pigments. And, it has been shown that the bronzing blue surfaces noticed for some of the investigated artworks correspond to PB15-based paint films. The present study has also underlined the recurrent use of perinone orange and dioxazine violet in fluorescent orange and purple area. Despite the early introduction of SOPs, on the Francis' palette, the works dating from the 1940's remained mainly composed of traditional inorganic pigments, for instance lead white and red, chrome yellow, viridian and iron oxides. Interestingly, various binding media, i.e. Shellac gum, modified and unmodified oils, PVA, alkyd resins and acrylic copolymers have been identified. Actually, the investigated samples have pointed out the frequent combination of more than three types of binders on a same painting. Through the identification of the various SOPs used by Francis over fifty years, this research provide helpful information for selecting the most appropriate retouching pigments.

Populations of Potato virus Y (PVY) and aphids were characterized in potato seed and stock production fields in southern Belgium (Wallonia) from 2009 to 2012. More than 40 aphid species were identified using yellow pan traps. Four thousands potato leaf samples collected in 87 plots from 29 fields were analysed for the presence and typing of PVY strains by RT-PCR. PVY was detected in 26%, 20% and 60% of the seed plots tested from 2009 to 2011, respectively. A higher prevalence of PVY was observed in plots of stock potatoes (60% in 2010 and 67% in 2011). The N/NTN strain of PVY was predominant, representing 70-99% of the strains. [less ▲]Detailed reference viewed: 25 (7 ULg)
