This application is a continuation of U.S. application Ser. No. 10/544,539, which is a 35 U.S.C. 371 National stage filing of International Application No. PCT/EP2004/50085, filed Feb. 5, 2004, which claims priority to European Application No. 03075350.3, filed Feb. 5, 2003 and European Application No. 03103779.9, filed Oct. 13, 2003. The entire contents of each of these applications are hereby incorporated by reference herein.
This invention relates to breeding plants and is especially concerned with the conditions under which plants are grown during the breeding process.
Plant breeding starts in essence with the creation of genotypic variation among plants of a given species. The creation of genotypic variation relies on the production of genetic alterations that can be obtained by techniques including recombination through classical crossing, chemical mutagenesis, radiation-induced mutation, somatic hybridisation, inter-specific crossing and genetic engineering. Following the creation of genotypic variation, selection of those genotypes having the most desirable agronomic phenotypes is performed.
In plant breeding, the process of selecting those genotypes having the most desirable agronomic phenotypes is typically carried out in fields composed of several plots, each plot typically consisting of at least several square metres or of sufficient dimensions to grow at least several tens of plants. The assessment of phenotypes in a statistically sound manner requires that each genotype be grown and its phenotype assessed in several different plots, typically no less than three. Even before the field experiments may begin, the plant breeder requires enough seeds to grow the required number of plants for the experiment. Seeds of a given genotype are often only available in small quantities and therefore the generation of greater seed numbers is often required before the experiments may begin. Seed generation is typically carried out by the growing of sometimes multiple generations of plants in order to obtain the necessary seed quantities to conduct a field scale experiment.
For breeding to be successful, a sufficient number of genetic alterations has to be examined in order to identify the few amongst many that are of agronomic relevance. The procedure for selection of genotypes has to be sufficiently discriminative for detecting phenotypic differences between the different genotypes and requires as a basis a set of parameters that is sufficiently detailed as to adequately describe the observed phenotypes.
The phenotype (based for example on observations of growth habit, yield potential and resistance to stresses) is the result of contribution from the genotype itself (genotype-associated phenotype) and from the environment (environment-associated phenotype). The environment-associated phenotype is influenced by variations in the growth environment caused by variations in, for example, temperature, humidity, light, nutrient and supply. An important factor that obscures phenotype-driven selection of desired genotypes is variations in the environment-associated phenotype component. When phenotype-based breeding is performed in the field, most of the environmental variation comes from non-uniformity of the soil in which plants are grown. The soil composition, the physical properties of soil, the availability of nutrients, water and the presence of microbial suit inhabitants can vary over short distances in natural soils. One way to avoid variations due to the heterogeneity of soil is to grow plants in containers (pots, trays, of the like containing a better defined substrate, such as potting soil, vermiculite, or rock wool. Growth of plants on a defined substrate is usually done in a greenhouse, so that the amount of water and nutrients given to the plants can be controlled. Growing plants under these conditions significantly reduces environmental variation. However, even when plants are grown in a greenhouse equipped with systems for climate control (heating, cooling, aeration, humidity control systems) and nutrient/water delivery, environmental conditions still vary with geometrical locations within the greenhouse. This environmental variation can be due to differences in distance between plants and the proximity or otherwise to devices used for climate control and nutrient/water delivery, for example heating elements, cooling elements, windows, doors, misting devices, ventilators, water inlets and water outlets.
Plants grown in greenhouses are amenable to automated handlings because they are usually grown in pots that can be easily transported to and from automation devices.
When breeding open pollinating plants, such as corn, in a greenhouse environment, it is important to restrict the flow of pollen within the environment. Failure to do so could, undesirably, lead to a mixing of the various genetic characteristics present within the environment. Conventional means for the growing of corn, an open pollinating plant, in a greenhouse environment deal with the necessity to restrict pollen flow by covering the female parts of the plant. In the case of corn, each female organ (ear with extending silks) is covered with a (paper) bag so as to prevent the contacting of pollen with these parts. Pollination is then carried out in a controlled manner by removing the bags, so as to expose the female parts, and then shaking the tassel (male organs of a corn plant) in the neighbourhood of the female organs. This process generates considerable variability in pollination efficiency, not only due to the variation in quantity and quality of the pollen applied, but also due to the difficulty associated with timing the pollination event given the short window available in which the female organs are in an optimal state for pollination. There are therefore major problems associated with conventional methods for the breeding of open pollinating plants in a greenhouse environment.
It is one object of the present invention to provide an improved process for breeding plants.
It is another object of the present invention to provide an improved process for breeding plants in which plant breeding may be conducted using smaller seed quantities than in conventional breeding processes.
It is another object of the present invention to overcome some of the aforementioned problems and to provide an improved process for the breeding of open pollinating plants in a greenhouse environment.
We have now found that one may reduce significantly the influence of environment-associated phenotype on phenotyping results by changing the location of growing plants in a greenhouse. The influence of environment-associated phenotype on phenotyping results may be further reduced by growing the plants on a growth medium of uniform characteristics in an environment of controlled climatic conditions with a controlled supply of nutrients and feed water.
The invention therefore provides in one of its aspects a process for breeding plants which comprises growing plants of a species in an array of containers charged with growing medium of uniform characteristics in an environment of controlled climatic conditions with controlled supply of nutrients and feed water and changing the positions of the containers within the environment as required to ensure at least substantially uniform exposure of all plants in the containers to conditions in the environment. A process according to invention preferably comprises the further stop of identifying phenotype characteristics such as, growth, yield and tolerance to abiotic stress of the plants at intervals in the growing cycle. For example, plants may be evaluated visually or by use of appropriate equipment. If desired, algorithms may be used to select and evaluate the information and the results statistically analysed to identify trait leads. Preferably also, plants are selected for further breeding or for commercial use by comparing the phenotype characteristics of the plants.
The word "comprising" where used herein is intended to encompass the notion of "including" and the notion of "consisting essentially of".
In a process according to invention, the positions of the containers may be changed continuously or at intervals. In one preferred process they are changed to an extent and at intervals pre-set by an operator in accordance with observation of growth characteristics of the plants. The positions of the containers within the environment may be changed at intervals of up to two weeks, preferably from six hours to two weeks more preferably at intervals from one day to one week. Preferably the positions of the containers within the environment are changed automatically. One preferred apparatus supports an array of containers in the form of pots containing plants. Preferably there is one plant growing in each pot, although plants can be grown with several individuals in a large pot or in trays or in a tray consisting of physically connected pots.
Apparatus suitable for use in a process according to the invention preferably comprises transporter means upon which the containers are supported in a horizontally disposed uniform array. Preferably the transporter means comprises a plurality of co-extensive storage transporters each comprising a "U" shaped gutter equipped with a belt lying flat on the bottom of the gutter, and transfer conveyor means. Preferably the belts are moved in the gutters by means of motors such as electric motors. In one preferred apparatus hereinafter described, shuttle robots are provided which can position themselves in front of a particular gutter, and a motor in the robot can be activated to pull the belt in the gutter back or forth, thus allowing the transport of containers in and out of the gutters. The ends of the gutters communicate with the transfer conveyor, so that containers may be transported back and forth from gutter to gutter and back and forth to specific areas in the array. Preferably, the motors are caused to move the containers continuously or at time intervals for example intervals from six hours to two weeks more preferably at intervals of one day to one week. Thus, a storage transporter may be moved by motor means to move the row of containers supported on that storage transporter towards a first transfer station at which an endmost container of the row is transferred to the transfer conveyor means, the transfer conveyor means may be operated to move a container supported on it to a second transfer station and motor means of a second storage transporter may be operated to collect the container.
In one preferred arrangement, the transfer conveyor means is arranged so that the container is carried in a linear path from the first mentioned storage transporter to the second storage transporter. In another arrangement, the transfer conveyor means is arranged so that the container is carried in a closed path from the first mentioned storage transporter to the second storage transporter; for example a rotary table may be employed and if so, several containers may be loaded to it and removed therefrom in random order for sending to the second storage transporter.
In a process according to the invention the containers are positioned as closely together as practicable bearing in mind the volume occupied by the plant or plants in the container.
A process according to the invention has various advantages. It enables effective dampening of environmental variations that influence the phenotypes of plants and therefore interfere with the selection of desired genotype-associated phenotypes. By changing the location of plants during their life cycle they are exposed to slightly different environmental settings at each location. When the displacement of all the plants in the breeding population occurs at a sufficiently high frequency (e.g. once per day or once per week) then the spatial effects will be randomized over the population. The dampening of environmental contribution to the phenotype of plants during breeding enables desired genotypes to be selected more reliably. The step of identifying the phenotype (be it a characteristic such as growth, yield or stress tolerance) is facilitated by the changing of the location of plants. For example, where the plant phenotype is evaluated by means of appropriate equipment, the plants may be moved at appropriate intervals to the station where the equipment for evaluation is located. Also, enhanced uniformity of the growing plants allows use of a smaller plant population for study, which in return reduces costs. This allows for the breeding of various agronomic characteristics, such as yield, using a smaller plant population (typically on a green-house scale) compared to conventional methods requiring much larger plant populations (typically on a field scale) in order to accurately assess the phenotypic variation associated with different genotypes. Also, the process gives a more efficient plant breeding because, given a fixed number of genetic alterations studied, fixed level of required discriminative power, the size of the population representing a certain genetic alteration can be reduced resulting in the capacity to reliably establish phenotypes under conditions of limited availability of seeds (as is often the case in the generation following the creation of genetic alterations), as such, omitting the need for extensive seed propagation and consequent loss of time.
The advantage of being able to conduct a breeding process with smaller seed quantities than would otherwise be possible is particularly relevant in the case of breeding of transgenic plants for various desirable phenotypic characteristics (traits).
The breeding of transgenic plants involves the introduction of at least one nucleic acid into a single plant. Different plants may have the same or different nucleic acids introduced therein. Plants are then grown and evaluated to identify plants having desirable traits. Plants having such desirable traits may be further evaluated in a field environment of may be backcrossed with different varieties of inbred lines of the same crop species or may be used to generate or test hybrids or may be used for the production of seed, possibly for commercial use.
Advantageously, any plant may be subject to the breeding process of the invention. According to one aspect of the invention, the plant subject to the breeding process is a self-pollinating plant, such as rice. A self-pollinating plant is one in which, under normal conditions, the female organs of any one given plant species is pollinated by pollen produced in the male organs of that same plant species.
According to another aspect of the invention, the plant subject to the breeding process is an open pollinating plant species, such as corn. An open pollinating plant species is a plant which is substantially a non-self pollinating plant species.
The present invention also provides a process for the breeding of open pollinating plant species in a greenhouse environment. This process, which is applicable to open pollinating plants, is preferably used in conjunction with the process for breeding plants described hereinabove. Advantageously, the process for the breeding of open pollinating plants removes the variability in pollination efficiency associated with conventional methods for the breeding of open pollinating plants, such as corn, in a greenhouse environment. A further advantage of this process is that the problem of the mixing of genotypes, associated with conventional methods, is avoided.
Therefore according to the present invention, there is provided a process for the breeding of open pollinating plants in a greenhouse environment, comprising the steps of:
(i) providing a male sterile open pollinating plant;
(ii) contacting the male sterile plant with pollen; and optionally
(iii) selecting plants having a desired phenotype
The aforementioned process is particularly applicable to the breeding of open pollinating plants, in particular corn. In the process of the invention, pollination is made more efficient, and the mixing of genotypes avoided, by rendering the plants subject to the breeding process male sterile. This substantially eliminates any self pollination which may occur and further substantially eliminates the mixing of genotypes within the population of plants. Methods for rendering plants male sterile are well known in the art and include chemical or mechanical techniques. An example of a mechanical technique for rendering plants male sterile simply involves the physical removal of male parts (emasculation). An example of a chemical technique for rendering plants male sterile involves the use of chemical hybridising agents or CHAs.
The process comprises the further step of contacting the male sterile plants with pollen. This is carried out by the introduction of male sterile plants to a pollination chamber in which male sterile plants are grown for a period ranging from about 2 days to about 3 weeks, preferably from between about 3 days and about 10 days. The introduction of male sterile plants into the pollination chamber coincides with a period of female fertility. A person skilled in the art will readily recognise the period of female fertility and thus will be well aware of the point in time for the introduction of the male sterile plants to the pollination chamber and the time required for maintenance of the male sterile plants in the pollination chamber. The pollination chamber comprises a number of pollinator (pollen shedding) plants. Male sterile plants, upon introduction into the pollination chamber, are grown for a period of time with pollinator plants of a single variety of the same species, most preferably of the same variety as the male sterile plants. In order to optimise contacting of pollen with the male sterile plants, pollinator plants are interspersed between male sterile plants. In one arrangement, a row of pollinator plants is provided followed by a row of male sterile plants followed by another row of pollinator plants and so on. Alternatively, one pollinator plant may be placed next to a male sterile plant so as to fill all rows in a crisscross formation. The pollination chamber may be arranged such that it is physically or spatially separate from the location where the male sterile plants grow in times outside of female fertility. The pollination chamber is equipped with a controlled environment (climatic or otherwise) optimal for pollination and depending upon the requirements of the cross pollinating species to which the process is applied. By way of example, for corn, the controlled climatic conditions comprise a temperature of between about 20� C. and about 35� C., preferably between about 24� C. and about 30� C. and a relative humidity of between about 70% and about 90%. Furthermore, since corn is pollinated principally with the aid of wind, the pollination chamber is equipped with means to promote circulation of air and therefore pollen throughout the chamber. Fertilisation of plants is further aided by provision of a pollination chamber of such dimensions so as to create a sufficient concentration of pollen to promote fertilisation.
The process optionally comprises the further step of selection of plants for any given characteristic. This may be selection based on the presence of a particular phenotype or may be selection of plants having appropriate dimensions to fit, say, the transporter means or to be of an appropriate height to be suitable for a greenhouse environment, for example taking into account the proximity of the plants to the lights etc. With regard to corn, there are particular advantages associated with the use of plants which are relatively small or short and which have a comparatively short cycle time, preferably about four months or less. These plants may be different varieties, hybrids, an inbred or a population, such as Gaspe or any inbred line derived from Gaspe e.g. through a number of generations of selfing.
In order that the invention may become more clear there now follows a description to be read with the accompanying drawings of apparatus for use in a preferred process according to the invention selected for description to illustrate the invention by way of example. In the drawings,
The illustrative apparatus is suitable for use in conjunction with a plurality of containers in the form of plant pots (10) (
The apparatus comprises transporter means (20) by which the pots are supported and moved as desired. The transporter means (20) comprises a plurality of co-extensive storage transporters (22) each providing support for a row of several pots, the storage transporters being disposed adjacent one another to support rows of pots in a horizontally disposed array. Each storage transporter (22) comprises a channel member provided by a rigid "U"-shaped gutter (24) secured in parallel relation next to adjacent gutters. An endless belt (26) operates within each gutter (
Electrically operated shuttle robots (32, 34) are employed to actuate movement of the belts (26) in the gutters (24). The movement causes the pots to be transported to or from the belt conveyor (30). Motor means is provided for moving the belt conveyor (30) continuously. When a belt (26) is moved in its gutter in one direction, the row of pots supported on that belt is moved towards a transfer station at which an endmost pot of the row is transferred to the belt conveyor (30). When moved in the other direction the belt (26) moves the row of pots supported on that belt away from the belt conveyor (30), allowing space for a pot to be introduced to the end of that row. Each shuttle robot (32, 34) is arranged for movement along the belt conveyor (30) so that it may communicate with the gutters individually as desired. They are of similar construction and comprise guide members (not shown) for guiding pots moving along the belt conveyor (30). A cylinder of a pneumatically operated piston and cylinder device (not shown) is mounted on the shuttle robot between the guide members and its piston is arranged for movement horizontally across and above the belt conveyor (30). In its rest position, the piston serves to arrest a pot delivered from a gutter by its belt (26). When it is desired to remove a pot from the belt conveyor (30), the piston is actuated to push the pot and urge it into the selected gutter (22).
Historical positional data combined with fertiliser and watering data enables an operator of the apparatus to keep track of the nutritional regime of every single plant in the array. The information also enables the operator to schedule all plant movements in the most efficient way.
The apparatus is arranged so that the shuttle robots are actuated in response to data contained in the database so as to move a pot from one location to another.

Groupon: Is It A Good Buy?
Groupon (NASDAQ: GRPN), has been making a constant and steady shift from flash deals to other businesses like travel and e-commerce. It is interesting to note that the biggest player in the flash deals business has decided to reduce its exposure to this segment. The move by Groupon reflects the overall state of the flash deals industry, with all major players either finding alternate businesses or being shut down. The new focus of the company has been its online goods or e-commerce business. New CEO Eric Lefkofsky, who took over earlier in the year, has often reiterated the company's focus on alternate sources of revenue other than the flash deals.
Black Friday is considered the biggest shopping day of the year and Groupon did a fair bit on its part to ensure that the e-commerce segment could cash in on the holiday fever. The company announced its largest promotion effort ever just ahead of the Thanksgiving weekend. As a part of its promotion, Groupon gave away $100 million worth of Groupon bucks in order to boost black Friday sales.
According to a press release of the company on November 29th, the company gave select customers individual amounts up to $5,000 in Groupon Bucks. In addition, one customer was to receive $25,000 in Groupon Bucks to use towards a year-long Groupon shopping spree, enough funds to buy a local Groupon every day for a year, an unforgettable Groupon Getaways and a full wish list from Groupon Goods. The company also went to the extent of giving cash of $5000 in case the customer wanted something unavailable on Groupon. Rich William, senior vice president of global marketing for Groupon said "With more than 65,000 great deals and the biggest Groupon promotion ever, we're giving our customers the chance to skip the lines and save even more cash on Black Friday by checking Groupon first." The idea of the company to combine its biggest promotion effort with the biggest shopping day seems to have paid off handsomely for the company.
In another press release dated Dec 3, 2013 the company reported record sales for the Thanksgiving weekend. The company reported a 30% Y/Y increase in gross billings for the four day weekend from Black Friday to Cyber Monday. The move seems to have paid off well. However, how will this impact the investors? We shall now try and answer this all important question.
The company reports revenues under three segments consisting of Local (Flash deals), Goods (e-commerce) and Travel & other. Let's now look at the contribution of the various segments to the company's total revenues for the first three quarters of 2012 and 2013. The chart below displays the segment revenues for the above mentioned periods.
Based on segment revenue numbers from the company's SEC filings
It is clearly visible that the company has seen significant increase in revenues from the e-commerce/goods. This segment has seen a 127% Y/Y increase for the nine months ended Q3 2013. The company's increased focus on the goods segment has been gleefully accepted by investors with the GRPN stock having increased by close to 90% year-to-date. The e-commerce companies are often valued for their growth rather than the profits they generate. A case in point is that of Amazon, which has seen close to 0% profitability for almost a decade with a current market valuation in excess of $175 billion.
In conclusion we would like to restate that Groupon's focus on e-commerce has been welcomed by investors. The increase in e-commerce segment revenues has been accompanied by positive movements in the company's stock price. We believe that record weekend sales might give the Q4 2013 e-commerce segment revenues that extra boost resulting in further upside in the company's stock price. However, we at Amigobulls love companies with strong cash flows and consistent profits and Groupon; we believe falls short on both the grounds. Though the stock might see significant upside as a result of strong growth in its goods business, we view the stock as a risky investment at its current price levels and hence hold a negative long term outlook on the stock.

On Wednesday 8 March we celebrated International Women's Day with a number of events.
Following nominations from students, a shortlist of four women from history who were inspiring, bold and made a difference in furthering the cause of gender equality, was drawn up. In a special assembly on Wednesday the nominees were promoted by some very enthusiastic volunteers:
Kate Harrison and Jess Picot nominated Rosa Parks
Zoya Bilal chose to speak about Coco Chanel
Lexy Daly and Sabrina Sheikh introduced us to Lotfia ElNadi, a pioneering aviator
Kate Jameson and Ezri Mannion staked a claim for Eliza Shuyler Hamilton, philanthropist and abolitionist
It was exciting to learn about all the women; some familiar and some not widely known. All our speakers spoke with passion and conviction about their choices. The vote was conducted on Firefly and the results are shown below:
WINNER Rosa Parks - 36%
Eliza Schuyler Hamilton - 23%
Coco Chanel - 22%
Lotfia El Nadi – 19%
Students and staff have also been making pledges this week of small or large changes that they plan to make to change their world for the better and these have been pinned on boards for everybody to see. The response has been overwhelming and it has been great to read the supportive, bold and uplifting messages.

Motto: "Everything dies in the end."
Quotes: "My origin is none of your concern, but you need to learn our purpose. It all started many millennia ago in my original reality where a civilization on the forefront of technology manufactured a batch of clones genetically engineered to sacrifice emotions in favor of intelligence. After that, temporal mechanics became the next frontier and that group of clones were selected to be the test subjects of an experiment to validate time travel in the practical sense since microcosmic time dilation has been mastered. They inserted neural implants into their craniums which activated the centers that initialized supernatural abilities and tuned it to space-time manipulation, and to their great misfortune, they were successful. I was one of those clones, essentially an experiment that reduced me to a dedicated soul ensuring that any reality that isn't ready doesn't discover those secrets."
"Do you understand why time travel is so difficult to master? Do you understand how the calculus of reality works? We only live to observe and witness and through our extended lives, we see that reality is merely an elaborate collection of probabilities constantly fluctuating and indeterministic flowing more like torrential rapids rather than a smooth river that your linear sense of time comforts you from experiencing. With every step across time, it's invariably a step into a different reality. That's why we modified the implants to calculate temporal probabilities and an awareness of space-time anomalies. It's our defense against the rapids through narrowing the path to stay as close to the reality we desire as possible."
"After eons upon eons, you finally announced that everything was all just one extensive, carefully planned machination from the beginning. My native reality never had a chance because it was all destroyed by us... and by destroyed, you understand it was smotherred under layers and layers of infinitesimal probabilities. It was your way of gaining the manpower to maintain the basic state of reality through unwitting parties so you wouldn't be traced by the higher entities."

Reznick, an expert at wet work; his handler, the mysterious and never-seen Maddox, is the literal voice of death, his command invokes the reaper with Reznick the very manifestation of murder. A cold and calculated professional, Reznick quickly learns something isn't right when his target becomes the centerpiece of an elaborate plot involving bio-terrorism and a threat that's all too close to home.
HARD ROAD begins as a hitman novel before evolving into a fast paced terror thriller. For me, the allure of HARD ROAD lies with the earlier portion of the novel. I liked the shroud of mystery that engulfs Reznick's handler and the need-to-know basis of which he operates. That said, once the thrill ride kicks into gear and the multiple plot threads emerge, HARD ROAD doesn't fail to entertain.
The biochemical threat is omnipresent yet it's the multidimensional characters that give the story it's depth and direct sense of reality. FBI Assistant Director Martha Meyerstein is a workaholic, her passion is her job, patriotism is everything. While Reznick, despite his flaws (a perceived kill-first mentality and seeming addition to Dexedrine) is a man on a mission - refreshingly not of the common action-hero stereotype. He not only needs to stop a terrorism plot but has to bring his eleven year old daughter to safety following her abduction at the hands of a group of men linked to the terror threat.
HARD ROAD establishes, what looks to be, a serious series character who's fractured past and questionable allegiance will appeal to readers, not just those who dabble in the thriller genre.
As a first up introduction to Reznick, HARD ROAD serves its purpose, the ensemble cast is written in a way as to allow further exploration and future subject matters appear bountiful. I look forward to seeing where J.B. Turner goes from here.

I just feel like sharing a few things while I still have the time.
First of all, I must say that the Mink Tribe's ability to fight Jack's forces for as long as they did was quiet impressive. Even Caesar and Capone Bege were well aware of their fighting capabilities. Too bad I can't say the same for the Fishman Island citizens, who are well known to be helpless without a Yonko's protection. I do wonder what Shirahoshi is going to do when all the power-hungry people of the world starts gunning for her.
Let's not forget that X. Drake captured someone who has knowledge of what Shirahoshi is. Considering how ruthless the Beasts Pirates are, if they get word of that, it's safe to say that Fishman Island will be doomed. If they caused so much destruction just to search for one ninja, imagine what they will do for an ancient weapon. If Jack attacks the island, I bet he won't even need more than half a day to destroy it. If he has to fight the princes, he can crush them in mere moments easy peasy. Even if Fishman Island is Big Mom's territory, I'm certain the Beasts Pirates wouldn't pass up on a grand opportunity. In any case, Fishman Island better be prepared for the worst when Shirahoshi's secret gets out.
As for Sanji's family, it's clear that Sanji had a reason to leave them and apparently, they did not care about it until recently. I mean, they left Sanji alone all this time and then suddenly, they told him to marry someone. Pretty crazy if you ask me. With Big Mom in the picture, I'm sure Sanji won't be able to resolve his family issue, not by himself anyway. So that's more than enough reason for Luffy and the crew to go help him. After all, Luffy is the one who aims to be Pirate King, so Big Mom is his to fight. It's been two days since Sanji left Zou, so who knows how close the wedding preparations are to completion. If Luffy wants to break up the engagement, he better do it as soon as possible, so it's reasonable to believe that rescuing Sanji will be the Straw Hats' next course of action.
As for Jack, I'm sure you're all certain that he isn't dead. I'll be surprised if he actually is. Jack's underlings did say that they will report that Raizo is not on Zou so if he believes the report, he won't have a reason to return to Zou and Luffy won't face him anytime soon. However, if he hears that his men left because Sanji and his group got in the way, he'll definitely return to finish what he started then Luffy will have to fight him.
And there is still the matter of Kin'emon and Kanjuro. Brook is afraid that the minks will get angry if they hear the words "samurai" or "Wano". So what will the Straw Hats do if the minks meet the samurais? However, last time we saw them, they were on the Thousand Sunny and said they will try climbing the elephant again on the next day. If Luffy and the crew are going to rescue Sanji and return to the Sunny before the samurais leave the ship, they can tell them that Raizo is not there and they can leave Zou without worrying about the minks getting angry. But knowing the Straw Hats' luck, things won't be that simple. Does Brook really have to be afraid? The minks are very grateful to the Straw Hats for saving them, so won't the minks understand if they just talk to them?
As far as the story goes, the Straw Hats are getting more and more involved with both Big Mom and Kaido's crews. It's already obvious that a confrontation with a Yonko is inevitable, but a lot of you are probably thinking that Luffy is not ready to fight a Yonko. So when will Luffy be ready to fight a Yonko? How many more battles Luffy will have to fight before he is prepared? If beating a Yonko is still premature at this point, then I suppose the earliest reasonable time will be when Luffy reaches halfway into the New World.
If Luffy and Kaido speak to each other through Den Den Mushi, I hope it'll be like this:
Kaido: Straw Hat! You and your crew have caused so much trouble for me! When we meet, prepare to suffer the consequences! Luffy: if it's a fight you want, then your Zoan army better be as tough as the Marine admirals. Kaido: you'll be wise not to take them lightly, and I have hundreds at my command! Luffy: Bring them all on! I'll kick their asses!

Stop Government Spying! Fight Back Against The Nsa
It matters to me because for too long our government has screwed its people and taken from them. The government should try, TRY, to give back to the people, at least to it's elders and their displaced families (the homeless) and esp. the returning soldiers unable to cope and see death as a way out. (God knows it is not a way out.)

Innovation and investment are in the spotlight at Oceanology International (ExCel London, 11-13 March 2014), with the new Innovation Zone not only showcasing innovative new technology, but used as a springboard to introduce all interested to methods for getting their technology to market in the fastest and most effective way.
Then this moves to the next stage when one-to-one meetings with possible investors are held for those actively seeking funding within the exploration and production (E&P) and oilfield service sector.
This is far from being a private affair – everyone attending the Oceanology International exhibition can make their way to the Innovation Zone on Tuesday 11 March for the 'Meet the Investor' workshop; and then the following day attend presentations by each of the companies behind the new 'out-of-the-box' technology.

Eminem's unability to choose a decent fucking beat for once.

Not my favorite rappers, but here are some things about rappers I love that annoy me:
Tonedeff- HIS WRITING PROCESS IS SO SLOW!! He's been rapping since the nineties and we only have one official album to date.
Kid Cudi- Too much Chip tha Ripper, King Chip, or whatever you wanna call him.
Ab-Soul- He takes the whole enlightened mind thing a little far sometimes, and he becomes borderline Immortal Technique at times.
Shad- Songs lack energy at times.

Fitness Edge Baguio
Fitness Edge defines accessibility when it comes to workout places in Baguio. When you're living in Baguio, you'll realize that SM is pretty much at the heart of everything since it is the only definitive mall located in this city.
The equipment area is quite limited like most gyms located in malls. But there's the two activity areas that are quite spacious compared to their usage. The one below where circuit training and martial arts lessons are done and the one above where yoga, spinning and other dance lessons are done.
The best part of this gym is the view. The image above is what you will see every time you workout, how cool is that? (except when its foggy of course) And let me tell you it really does help in your workout routine especially when you are in the boring hamster wheel.
Rates at Fitness Edge Baguio
The prices are not expensive either if you include the transportation savings that you will incur when you can just walk from your work to where you can go after you finish your workout.

Inspiration First!

1 voteHarold Lloyd's building climbing stunt is one of the most awe-inspiring spectacles I've ever seen in a movie, done with a dogged dexterity and lovable enthusiasm worthy of comparison to Buster Keaton and Charlie Chaplin at their best. This masterpiece of physical and slapstick comedy made me laugh at inspired gags and gasp at startlingly convincing danger in equal measure.

1 votespeachless - the stunts - all his breathe taking - and believe it or not - he only had a few fingers left - timeless classic - deserves to be watched nearly 100 years later!
Description: Harold's a poor country boy who comes to the city to make good -- in hopes of eventually marrying his hometown sweetheart. In the meantime, however, he works as a department store clerk and sends his girl optimistic letters that lead her to believe he is well on his way to success. So, on her mother's advice, she packs her bags and goes to join him. Soon Harold's doing his best to convince her that he really is a boss... A high point: the justifiably famous scene where Lloyd climbs up the 12-story department store building, and hangs over the downtown streets on the hands of a clock. A 1920's "yuppie," Lloyd climbs ... (more)

I have installed Ticket Check Lists but see no way to configure. On existing cases there is no check lists area as in the screen shots. When I look at the settings, the plugin doesn't show in the Help Desk area, but it does show up in the general Extensions and Plugins area.
Am I missing something?

There is no extra configuration. Have you tried restarting your server after install.
also what browser are you using and have you tried others? and what SW version are you using?

Can you provide a screenshot of what your tickets section looks like? My Ticket Checklists plugin does't show up under Helpdesk settings either, noly in the manager extensions section. It should be in the right hand column, and if there is no checklist all ready added to a ticket it will only be a head with an underline, easy to overlook.
Jun 15, 2012 at 12:52 UTC
Found it... kind of.
I appear to have a conflict with the LogMeInRescue plugin. I disabled it from the help desk settings, and Ticket Check Lists, and Ticket Tweaks, both started working properly.
Where's the best place to report bugs?
Thanks to all!
Jun 15, 2012 at 12:56 UTC
right here is the best place .. but since you've already used the forum to identify the issue I would comment that bug issue on the pages of each of the plugins that are conflicting with each other!! so each of the developers can get the info

GreyRose LLC is an IT service provider.
In order to create the lists, view a ticket and hover over the ticket check lists in the details area to the right. You'll see that you can edit the check lists (add items) directly or use a template. This is also the same space to create a new template and, once created, you can select it again later.
There is no configuration available through the extensions center in settings for this plugin.
Jun 18, 2012 at 9:32 UTC
@MadMist - are the plug-ins clobbering each other? I'll install the LogMeIn plug-in and take a look. Thanks for the interest!

Shanti Sagar Resort and Water Park, Thane
At Vasat, Near M.I.D.C. Pump House,, Ulhas River bank, P.O.Jambhul, Ambernath West, Maharashtra 421505
Ranked 65 amongst 209 hotels in Thane
Shanti Sagar Resort and Water Park Reviews (9)
"Please don't waste your money go sume where else."
The worst water park Ever !! 1. Its 11km away from the Ambarnath Station. 2. There is no transport from Ambarnath station you have to take Auto Rickshaw that will cost you 200 to 300rs. 3. The road is very bad to travel from rickshaw. 4. If you have own car then its OK. 5. The amusement park is not working only the pools and 3 4 rides are working. 6. 150 rs park entry fee, 300 rs locker (200 rs deposite), if you need cloths its 100 rs on rent. 7. The locker is of old style so you need to carry key all time and the size is too small .. Atmost 2 bags will fit in. 8. The changing room and toilet are very bad conditions. 9. When you down to pool the water is very dirty .. And ull knw that they didint change water 4 -5 days ... Even your legs will slip inside pool. 10. Water in pool is almost till your belly so don't try to jump it will hurts you. 11. Take care on some rides bcouz the fiber overcomes. 12. The food is worst and price so high. 13. You can take your own food they didint chekck the bags. 14. After 5 - 6 hr in pools your eye will burn because of dirty water. 15. If you don't have car then on returned journey use resort but they take 30rs per person ... Because auto rickshaw ask more money on return journey. 16. Total almost you cost 500-600 rs. 17 thank you.
"Good spot for picnic with family or friends "
Good place for picnic and also beautiful destination for enjoyment with friends and family. This resort is established in 2012 and it's very very near for Thane and Mumbai people. It's very low budget resort but fully enjoyable spot for picnic. So just go!
"Budget resort with good staff "
This is a very budget friendly hotel. There are only 3 big rides here rest are for small childrens but for the price, one can't expect more. Water in the pool is not very clean. Food here is within budget and all worth it. The staff is also very friendly. I had only gone for a days picnic and had a great time within budget, do not expect more and you won't be disappointed. (talking about water slides here).
"Excellent resort within budget "
Good and small resorts for family picnic or with friends. Food was good, water rides are good and if you travel during weekdays will feel that you have booked entire resorts for your group and they give you extra enjoyment. Near by the Ambarnath and Badlapur Station and if you book before you travel will get the bus facility from the resorts.
"Good food but not so nice staff"
Resort is ok and not great. I would say its a budgeted one. Staff is really not good but food is nice. Location is ok and its too interior and the youngsters mostly stayed in this hotel. It's less in cleanliness and rooms are too small. Wash-room are not cleaned and there should be improvement in the resort.

"Good location with good room service"
Very nice hotel. Location was very good. You can go there with your family friends or with your partner. You can enjoy very WELL. We went with the group so, we booked the bungalow and it has a swimming pool. They serve the food at your room. There are three to four slide were kids can enjoy.
"Attractive exterior and friendly people"
My experience for this house boat was very good with nice staff, rooms and food. Exterior of this houseboat was so attractive that my camera battery came low. Had a very good time in a cold weather. Food and beverages was like never had before, and the people in the house boat was really friendly.
"Potential to be a super hotel if staff is changed"
First, it is located in scary place. The houses close to the hotel looked eerie. The entrance and approach to the hotel is not inviting and you will not fell like you are on holiday at a resort. The reception was a joke. Never seen such kind of reception, as the person at the helm was rude. Not just that, the staff at the hotel was rude and no one was happy to help, except one guy from housekeeping, who took us to our room. AC rooms were good enough for the price. The food ordered to the room here is charged 15% of the total bill. Liquor served here was expensive. The water park is good for children but not for adults. The Resort has everything to become a 1st class resort, only if the staff is more professional and happy to help. The hotel should change its staff. The resort has so many things like the garden outside Water Park, which they hardly use. It should be maintained.

The New Orleans Pelicans could have a lot of help when they begin a three-game homestand Wednesday night against the Detroit Pistons.
All-Star power forward Anthony Davis has been listed as questionable, meaning he could play. Davis has missed the past five games after re-injuring his sprained right shoulder on Feb. 21 during the first quarter at Miami. He was expected to miss one to two weeks, the team said. That was 11 days ago.
Without Davis, the Pelicans won five consecutive games, including the game in which he was injured. The streak ended at Dallas on Monday night, the second of back-to-back games that started Sunday in Denver.
"We are definitely looking forward to (being at) home," guard Eric Gordon said. "We are a good home team, and it's going to be good to play at home, for sure."
The Pelicans (32-28) had a three-game homestand last week, and the results were outstanding. New Orleans knocked off Eastern Conference playoff contenders Toronto, Brooklyn and Miami in a five-day span at the Smoothie King Center.
Davis' return and the return home comes with the Pelicans one game behind the Oklahoma City Thunder in the race for the eighth spot in the Western Conference playoff race.
After the Pelicans play the Pistons (23-36) on Wednesday night, the Pelicans play another back-to-back against Boston on Friday and fellow Southwest Division foe Memphis on Saturday. The Pelicans are 20-10 at home, including 9-3 against East teams.
Although backup center Alexis Ajinca has played well in the absence of Davis and forward Ryan Anderson (sprained right knee), Davis would be a huge boost against the Pistons in particular. Detroit boasts the top rebounding duo in the NBA: center Andre Drummond and power forward Greg Monroe, a former Helen Cox High School standout. As a tandem, they average 23.4 per game.
Davis and Omer Asik are third in the NBA as a pair, averaging 20.3 rebounds.
Drummond (6-feet-11, 280 pounds) is second in the league in rebounding at 12.9 per game, and Monroe (6-11, 250) averages 10.5. However, in his past five games, Monroe has averaged 19.2 points and 11.6 rebounds, getting at least 20 points in three games.
Led by Davis' 27 points, the Pelicans beat the Pistons 105-94 on Jan. 14 during a puzzling five-game Eastern road swing. After waiving headache power forward Josh Smith, Detroit had won five in a row before New Orleans came to town.
With Smith gone, the Pistons are a different team than their record indicates. They have gone 18-13 since he was waived on Dec. 22, after starting the season 5-23.
The Pelicans' win was part of a head-scratching stretch in which they won at Detroit and Toronto, which has the East's second-best record, but lost at struggling Boston, Philadelphia and New York.
With Davis, Anderson and point guard Jrue Holiday out, the Pelicans won with intense play, gritty defense when needed, and balanced scoring built on excellent ball movement.
Gordon has been a big part of that, driving to the basket and facilitating when needed. However, much of his value has been in filling a big 3-point void. Since a big win at Oklahoma City on Feb. 6, Gordon has shot 52.1 percent (37-of-71), along the way increasing his season percentage to 45.3, second in the NBA among eligible players.
"I've always been a pretty good 3-point shooter," Gordon said. "The thing is, we're playing together well as a team, and I'm getting some open looks."
He hit a 3-pointer that brought the Pelicans to 10 points of the lead in the fourth quarter against the Mavericks. In the gutsy win at Denver, he sank one with six minutes left and gave New Orleans the lead for good at 78-75. He hit another one at the 4:16 mark that nudged the lead to 85-80.
The Pelicans signed combo guard Elliot Williams to a 10-day contract, according to an NBA source. The Pelicans also waived former LSU power forward Justin Hamilton, who did not appear in any game with the team after being obtained in the Feb. 19 trade that brought point guard Norris Cole to the team. Williams, 6-5, played 25 games with the NBA Development League Santa Cruz Warriors. He was the 22nd overall pick in the 2011 draft by the Portland Trail Blazers. He played with the Philadelphia 76ers, and this season, with the Utah Jazz, averaging 5.3 points and 0.9 assists in 96 games. Williams, who played in college at Memphis, is a good defender who offensively keeps his teammates involved, the source said.
