So the next step on my rust dyeing adventure was to add tannin to the mix.
In much of the tannin/rust cloth I've seen, I didn't like how the rust was overpowered by the blue/grey/black of the tannin stain, but I'm pleased with the results of my experiment.
I let the fabric sit in vinegar and salt with the rusty metal during the heat yesterday afternoon and then overnight (about 18 hours). When it was mostly dry this afternoon, I poured the tannin water over it. In some cases, I poured just enough water to dampen it, and in others I let the cloth and the rusty object sit in the tea. I left things like this for about 4 hours. Then rinsed, washed, dried, and pressed.
To make the tannin, I used eight iced tea sized bags (decaf, Kroger store brand). I let them come to a boil in a large pot of water (about a gallon);then I let them sit for an hour.
For these fabrics, I used just a collection of cottons and white synthetics that I had in my dye bin. Some of the synthetics were just white fabric I'd cut from the bottom of curtains and sheers.
Oh, and I also dyed a bit of embroidery floss with rust so that I can hand stitch. It turned out a nice rusty shade, so I think it will do well with the hand work I'll do on whatever object these fabrics become.
Right now, I have some vintage linen and a tablecloth of undetermined material with cotton embroidery in the rust dyeing pans.
I'm not quite finished playing with rust; after all, I still have some white fabric left. I'll continue to rust dye, and I'll also overdye in turquoise some of the pieces that didn't turn out as deep as I would have liked. I'll also rust/tannin dye some Radiance this weekend to see how the silk takes the tannin. Finally, I found some rusty flashing, so I'm going to get out the drill press and see if I can make a rusty/holey piece of metal to dye with.
Oh, the circular plates that I've been using to rust the circles are called corn planting plates. You can do a search online, but many of them I see there have some heavy coating on them, so I assume you'll want vintage ones if you're looking for them.
The sources of rust from these images (top to bottom) are railroad spikes, planting plates, the tines of an iron rake, a 1.25 inch flat iron plate that's about 1/8 inch thick and 4 feet tall, horseshoes,and a collection of washers and 1/4 inch steel bars and scraps that were left over in the previous owner's shop and garage.

Lovely results on your fabrics. Thanks for sharing them. I too find I cannot sew through 2 layers of rust dyed cloth.

Kathy, two tips--a microtex 14 needle is very sharp and helps a lot, so does Sewer's Aid, a silicon/oil thing that you buy in a little squeeze bottle and apply directly to the needle.

Bleckley BOE makes personnel moves at Tuesday meeting | News
Several changes to Bleckley school personnel came from Tuesday's regularly scheduled Board of Education meeting. One was the approval of Becky Smith as middle school cheer coach. Smith, a graduate of BCHS and former Royals cheerleader, was hired as elementary school teacher last month. She was a member of BC's last state championship squad in 2002.
Also hired as elementary school PE teacher, head middle school track coach and high school assistant football coach was Pedro Holiday. Holiday comes to Cochran by way of Murreesboro, TN. The board accepted the resignation of AP Literature Teacher and One Act Play assistant Holly Spires, effective at the end of this school year. Hired as English teacher and member of the drama department was Connie Long.

A new Modus Operandi for racing
I'm going to try a new M.O. for this next race on Sunday.
In the past my M.O. has been balls to the walls from the get go. Sprint start as is customary for mtb racing and then go.go.go.
It's a race after all, isn't it. With a race it seems to be a given that you go as hard as you can. Explore the limits of your mental and physical strength/toughness. That's what a race is all about.
The past few years, my fitness has improved a lot especially at the top end. In the past I never was able to hang with the front group. However, I now am able to stay competetive with some of the leaders. The problem has been that I can't last at this pace. Invariably, I'll cramp. My average speed plummets and I end the race in survival mode. Though I'm not sure what is worse, finishing in survival mode, or finishing wishing that you'd gone harder?
On one hand this MO hasn't prooved to be half bad. I've gotten some good finishes. Yet, some of my best finshes have been where I didn't cramp, and didn't go totally all out. In one race, it was a mass start so I had no clue where those in my class were. Rather than racing against a vet sport jersey I raced my own race.
In another race, I actually was disappointed that I didn't ride myself into the ground, and I got my best finish of that series.
This race on Sunday is a tough one. Technically challenging and a meat grinder course, with no recovery.
I'm going to experiment with a new MO
-sprint start.
-2minutes all out to solidify position
-Bring the intensity down to a tolerable level. In control. Comfortably sustainable.
-Wait till the tech single track
-then start pushing it harder
-hold this till the finish.
The hardest part is going to be trying to hold back during the first part of the race. It is so easy to get jacked up and just spend all your cash early on.
I might no finish as well as when I go all out. But then again I might do better.
Since I only race a few times, it means having to experiment with an important one. But that's the only way to figure it out. There is no way to simulate race conditions.
In a race later in August that is a lap race. The Sport race is fairly short like 1-1.5hrs. I might try the expert class for training purposes. In Dave's workout he said:
-Race expert class for, go as hard as you can for 2hrs. Then do whatever it takes to finish.
Hmmm, sounds familiar.
That's what is considered an investment race. Meaning you pay INTO the account without care for the result. Sort of like the Giro for those Tour contenders.
This Sunday is considered a race for the best result.

[J-FILM REVIEWS] おっぱいバレー (Oppai Volleyball)
Sign-In to Vote
And to think that the movies make it seem like a stepping stone on the way to adulthood, particularly movies like this. You know, the idea that, once men get past their adolescent fervor, they no longer think about a certain something with rather significant frequency. Something like.... tatas, for instance.
Of course, everyone but the very youngest and most impressionable will approach something like
おっぱいバレー (Oppai Volleyball)
- title which couples two things which bounce quite well, if you were wondering - and expect it to actually deliver on its delirious and mucho ad-hoc premise, but that's sort of besides the point. I mean, can you really hate a film which starts with a group of horny teenagers riding a cart downhill and clasping the air with their hands, to recreate what they believe a pair of well-endowed boobs would feel like, while magically corny 70s J-pop like Pink Lady's 渚のシンドバッド (Nagisa no Sindbad) triumphs in the background with its "Sexy! Anata wa sexy!" Can you?
It's the lovely town of Kitakyushu, part of the Kanmon Straits and lucky enough, in 1945, to be blessed by clouds when Major Sweeney and friends were about to drop the Fat Man, "honor" which instead went to Nagasaki. If the Datsun models prancing about and the sounds of The Finger Five weren't enough to suggest it, yes, we're in the late Seventies, and young middle school teacher Mikako (Ayase) is about to make her first speech in front of her new class of students. Just so we get an idea of what the kiddos are really concerned about, when Mikako presents them her favorite anthology entitled 道程 (doutei, journey), the boys think the new belle in town wants them to feel "the true meaning of 童貞 (doutei, virginity)." Predictably, bloody noses ensue, giving poor Mikako a vague idea of what she can expect from now on. But fear not, for limitless enthusiasm is on her side, and she volunteers to coach the male volleyball team, a quintet of otaku-in-waiting who have never touched a volleyball, and seem too occupied with their horny escapades to worry about coubertinian notions of sportsmanship. What can a teacher do, to make these boys understand the meaning of true effort, of teamwork and the joy of sharing a triumph, or giving each other solace after a defeat? For starters, promise them one thing, upon the fulfillment of their very first win: that she will show them her oppai. And be prepared to be graced with the word with Guinness Book-friendly frequency, because that's more or less all that you will get.
I'm not really faulting director Hasumi, who was assistant director on
踊る大捜査線 (Bayside Shakedown)
before going back and forth between forgettable fare on the big screen like the
海猿 (Umizaru)
franchise, and safe manga adaptations on TV like
アンティーク (Antique)
. In a way,
Oppai Volleyball
feels like a much tamer, volleyball-oriented answer to his deliriously silly baseball comedy
逆境ナイン (The All-Out Nine - Field of Nightmares)
, again adapted from a popular manga. In this case we're dealing with a popular novel by Munenori Mizuno, one allegedly based on a true story, but veteran TV writer Okada Yoshikazu - who worked with Hasumi on
- goes for a rather bland adaptation, only stressing the minimum requirements to build a successful project film and never really taking advantage of the rather ingenious premise. So we get some silliness at the beginning, a dramatic quandary in the second act, and a third act full of sanctimonious life lessons, as if we weren't dealing with a Japanese sports-comedy. Okada does this pretty often on
recent exploits like
無理な恋愛 (Muri Na Renai)
銭ゲバ (Money Crazy)
being the perfect example: the foundations of many of his stories seem to have potential, but then he develops them in a rather listless, ordinary way, making any unconventional starting point rather moot. The same happens here.
Expecting anything too racy out of a project like this would be rather naive, but the film would have won many a point by going into one of two directions with conviction: one is the well tested Yaguchi Shinobu-style comedy a la
ウォーターボーイズ (Waterboys)
, or something along the lines of
ピンポン (Ping Pong)
. You keep things simple and breezy, throw in lots of silly comedy and let loose anyone with enough talent to produce some ad-lib, using plenty of sports scenes as salad dressing. The other is doing something akin to Korean dorky coming-of-age comedies like
몽정기 (Wet Dreams)
, filled with sexual innuendo but never really requiring that "18 and Over" label. But what really spells failure for this film is not that we don't find too much in the way of oppai in this Oppai Volleyball. Even the volleyball is rather scarce, the selected few scenes we are blessed with oozing a certain laziness. It's almost as if all they wanted was a killer premise that could put some asses in the seats, and that was the end of their worries. Because, at least on paper, this looked like a surefire bet.
After her debut as a gravure idol, Ayase Haruka has shown she has much more to show than just her rather generous curves, particularly in the last three years - she is doing rather well in
fascinating period medical drama
, for instance - but it almost feels like all they needed her for was that premise: there is probably no better choice in Japan when it comes to those particular "requirements," not to mention someone who can add the necessary star power and some acting talent as icing on the cake. No matter how mendacious the film's MacGuffin was, you could easily have her become the catalyst of those six boys' growth, and the realization that there's more to life than huge boobs. Throw in some raunchy gags without delving into vulgarity, fill the film with a healthy dose of well orchestrated volleyball, and you've got a winner. But after that exhilarating first scene and the crescendo to the big "quest" at the core of the film,
Oppai Volleyball
never recovers, gradually losing steam and the quirky charm of that initial quarter hour.
In pure Okada fashion, we get a parallel story of growth involving Mikako herself, and the guilt which probably led her to Kitakyushu in the first place (dealing with a past teaching experience of hers), but whereas it is somehow integrated into the main story and connected to her "promise," this all feels as if portions of another film started invading our little sports comedy. Had Mikako been a more compelling character and not just a catalyst for the boys' growth, then maybe it could have worked, but this side-story all smells of Hollywood-style complacency, obsession to please everyone et al (sure enough, look who's producing). Really, it's not that hard: you have a perfect premise, and even though you can't really live up to it, you still can have a lot of fun with the idea. Sports comedies like this really live and die by their buildup, considering that cliches are what awaits us at the end anyway. But as the minutes pile up, you're not really feeling anticipation for what will surely be a predictable, but exciting outcome. You're fatigued, and sort of tagging along for the ride, hoping the energy of those initial 15 minutes will somehow resurrect in the final reel. It's really no use casting big names like Nakamura Toru, when all you can give him is a glorified cameo and the trailer-friendly line of the film ("Nice oppai!"), nor does the labor of love in recreating 1979 Kitakyushu make any impact, since we're spending most of the time indoor dealing with pedestrian bildungsroman tropes.
Forget De Coubertin, they really should have listened to Mikako: it's the journey that counts, even when at the end it won't be really "oppai" what will be bouncing.....

Project 22 and the SWLCPG
In 2015 an agreement was reached between Project 22 and the South Wales Loco Cab Preservation Group (SWLCPG) committing each to work together and aid each other in achieving their aims. The SWLCPG have a small working facility where they renovate locomotive driving cabs.
The SWLCPG is run by Richard Benyon, who is also the Business Manager for Project 22. The facilities at the yard provide storage and engineering equipment, to allow a level of restoration work on Project 22 components, including the recently acquired engine.
Project 22 makes a contribution to the cost of running the yard in return for the working base secure storage facility. This location will only suit smaller projects as there are no facilities for major assembly.
The South Wales Loco Cab Preservation Group
Currently a group of 3 based in Bridgend with a primary objective of saving locomotive driving cabs from an uncertain future or scrap. We offer a long-term home, and the prospect of renovation back to 1970's British Rail Blue livery with yellow ends. If you know of a loco cab needing a home, please tell us – or if you would be interested in joining our working parties please contact us. You will be welcome!
The website will expand to provide a record of loco cabs currently in preservation, and those that have been scrapped over the years, providing a potted history of each existing cab.
Information required
We are always looking for photos of our cabs when in service and we want to know what cabs exist in gardens, warehouses, storage yards or wherever – any information will be very welcome.

Rating: 4.0
Released: May 12, 2009
To quote Scottish rockers Franz Ferdinand, who so clearly influenced Art Brut, "You could have it so much better."
British pop act Art Brut made a name for itself in recent years making the kind of tongue-in-cheek disco rock that, in theory, would make Pulp proud.
Whether they've lived up to that expectation or not is another thing.
Frontman Eddie Argos shoots for the singspeak wit and presence of vet Jarvis Cocker, but on Art Brut's latest, Art Brut vs. Satan, he just sounds oddly tuneless.
The propulsive tracks and slashing angular guitars are, no surprise, like the heaviest tracks from an Artic Monkeys or Bloc Party album, but without the tight pop sensibility.
"Bring me tea/bring me coffee/I was up all night/I've been making mistakes/I'm hiding it well but I don't feel great," Argos sings on first single "Alcoholics Unanimous," which sounds like an anthem for unimaginative pub crawlers.
Other tracks like "DC Comics and Chocolate Milkshake" make you wonder if Art Brut is running out of things to say.
"DC Comics and chocolate milkshake/some things will always be great ... even though I'm 28," Argos rants on the grating chorus.
The song is funny, but it sticks like a song in an ad. Which is to say, it's annoying.
Some tunes fare better than others.
Pixies mastermind and producer Frank Black predictably brings the guitars and it works sometimes, like on slash and jab rocker "Demons Out!"
"The record buying public shouldn't be voting," Argos sings to the demon idiots in the room.
It's likely someone will find love in Argos' cockney jabbering, but his voice, which tends to make all Art Brut songs sound identical, could turn just as many people off.
"How am I supposed to sleep at night/when nobody likes the music I write," Argos bemoans during "Demons Out!"
Um, have you tried sleeping pills?

Question about RIM BlackBerry 8800
Posted by kenshin20082 on
plz i am found free country code of black berry 8800 plz solve my problem
There are only 2 ways to unlock your Blackberry:
1. Get an unlock code from your service provider. Usually if you have been a customer for 90 days and plan to continue as a customer, you can tell them that you are going out of the country for 2 weeks and would like to use a local pay-as-you-go service with your Blackberry. This code would be free (if they will give it to you) and will take about a week to get.
2. Pay a third party company to provide you with the unlock code. One site that is often quoted as being good is: gsmphonesource.com. You email them your IMEI number and they will email you the unlock code, usually the next day. The cost is US$50-$60.

Well what a game! Managing their second win against the Strikers in as many games, our girls positively dominated today's match to seal the win.
Melbourne Stars 125 def. Adelaide Strikers 88 by 37 runs.
Our girls were sent into bat first in Perth and we did not quite get off to the start we were hoping for. With the Strikers getting the breakthrough wicket in the fifth over, Wes was sent on her way for 14. The Skipper soon followed for 17 with Sciv the next to go, run-out for eight in the 12th over.
So with wickets falling early, we needed to stabilise our innings to make sure we could make a competitive total. JC and K-Mack were our girls at the crease and they both put on handy totals to get the team back on track.
JC top-scored today with 42 off 48 balls, while K-Mack made 19 from her innings, with both girls steadying the ship with their partnership. But with our last five wickets falling for a total of just 19 runs, we were all out for 125.
The Strikers then took to the middle and it wasn't long before our girls snagged a wicket – McPharlin was the first to go off a ball from Flem. Sciv and Beamsy then grabbed wickets in quick succession, with Sciv then nabbing another in the tenth over.
So with four wickets gone and needing 50 runs off the last 30 balls, Trixie struck, snagging two wickets in two balls, including the wicket of top-scorer Edwards. Managing another wicket in the same over, and Beamsy getting another two in the 17th, the last wicket came off a run-out with the Strikers all out for just 88.
The Moment
We got some absolute brilliance off Gemma Triscari in the 16th over when she snagged three wickets from it! Nabbing Patterson on the second ball of the over and sending Edwards on her way off the next ball, Trixie was on a hat-trick. Although she was unable to complete the hat-trick, she did snag her third wicket on the last ball of the over! What a spell!
The Player
JC had her best game in Stars colours today and really made sure the girls managed a competitive total for the Strikers to chase down. Making nearly a half-century today with 42 runs off her 48 balls, JC hit four boundaries and a six during her impressive innings. Hopefully JC continues this form into the game against the Scorchers on Sunday!
The Next Game
You don't have to wait long for our girls' next match Stars fans – they take on the Scorchers on Sunday afternoon at 1pm AEDT at Lilac Hill. So with your Sunday arvo plans sorted, settle in and enjoy our girls battle it out in the West LIVE via the WBBL Facebook page or on cricket.com.au.

We're in that point in our lives where kids are having 90's parties, because it was that damn long ago. Now well, the '00s are becoming nostalgic, and the newest Netflix Original Girlboss is full of MapQuest and MySpace references that'll make you laugh out loud. Do you remember those days when your MySpace Top 8 meant everything? Girlboss remembers. This show was so good I binge watched the entire thing in a morning, darn you twenty-something-minute shows and your ability to be binged in half a day.
The show is full of references to Beanie Babies, the many stages of Britney Spears, The OC, and an amazing '00s soundtrack, I might even be listening to a 'oos Pop-Rock Hits playlist while writing this post, because oh man was Modest Mouse's Float On stuck in my head for the last darn week. The fashion was pretty fab too, I was the girl in black, all black all the time even hair so I can definitely relate so Sophia there.
If you don't know the series is based on Sophia Amoruso, played by Britt Robertson, who began selling vintage clothes on eBay and, by the age of 28, had built the multi-million dollar fashion empire, Nasty Gal.
I actually read the #Girlboss book, penned by Sophia Amoruso herself before watching the show and I love the similarities that are there, but the added story lines and sidekick that we all wish we had are great additions. I laughed a lot throughout the series, especially the scene with The OC, because seriously that was the best. You might even feel a little empowered by the time you're through with Girlboss and you might even shed some tears.
So go ahead, go watch Girlboss, only on Netflix and tell me what you think.

Government credit easing fund could reach £40bn
With just a day to go before the Chancellor stands up and delivers the Autumn Statement it's already becoming clear that there should be billions of more pounds worth of credit for SMEs on offer.
Emerging revenue opportunities for the channel with digital transformation
Digital transformation is a phrase that means many things to many people but for it to have any real relevance to the channel then it needs to mean a chance to make money. This guide will share some of the recent developments in the channel and the latest thoughts about the issue.

With just a day to go before the Chancellor stands up and delivers the Autumn Statement it's already becoming clear that there should be billions of more pounds worth of credit for SMEs on offer.
The credit easing measures that were promised look like totaling up to the £40bn mark with reports emerging over the weekend that more pressure is going to be put on banks to lend more.
By now there are not many parts of the Autumn Statement that will come as a surprise tomorrow with it clear that as well as credit easing billions will be spent on infrastructure projects to get people back to work.
But specifically discussing the credit area George Osborne reveal;ed his approach on the Andrew Marr show yesterday morning indicating the government will provide a guarantee for banks to make loans.
With the government underwriting the loans the interest rates should be more attractive and the potential size of funds available for the National Loan Guarantee Scheme could reach £40bn.
The news was welcomed by the Shadow Chancellor Ed Balls but he pointed out the scheme sounded similar to some already available and the government should have moved sooner to try and ease credit problems for small firms.

I'm Going Back To Windows
No. Not me personally. It's the threat that we, as Linux users and developers, hear constantly. It's on the forums, mailing lists and IRC. These ridiculous threats, that if something in the Linux operating system is not fixed or handled to their liking, they're running back to Windows. To me, it seems to be getting worse and worse.
If I may, I'd like to discuss this for a second. First, I'd like to discuss what Microsoft is doing to the computing world. I give my respect where respect is due, and recognize that they have had great success, but wish to conjecture, that by making an operating system more user friendly, you reduce the mental challenging of a computer user. I'm not calling the user 'dumb', just not challenged.
Because, apparently, if there is no *.exe file to step them through an installation process, then it's too hard to install software. Obviously, if there is no Start Menu, then the system isn't user friendly. Of course, if there is no Control Panel, then the system can't be maintained. And, by having to use the terminal from time to time, you have to be a programmer. So why bother? Obviously, Linux is just too hard of an operating system. Linux is demanding just too much from the user. It will never replace Windows on the desktop.
It's almost as if, we as Linux developers, package managers and users even, are supposed to dumb down the operating system, so we can accommodate Windows users.

Folks – I'm teaming with the gal's at Robin Robin's Inc for a webinar next week – it's on Tuesday so please attend:
"3 Critical Marketing Elements
Every IT Business Must Have
To Finally Put An End To The Frustration, Struggle, And Up-Hill Battle of Generating A Predictable Flow Of New Clients, More
Sales & Bigger Profits"
FREE Webinar By Technology Marketing Toolkit VP, Pamela Viveiros:
An Exclusive Live Webinar Pamela E. Viveiros,
Vice President, Technology Marketing Toolkit, Inc. and
Harry Brelsford, President, SMB Nation
When: Tuesday, October 27th
Start Time: 3:00 p.m. ET / 2:00 p.m. CT/ 1:00 p.m. MT / 12:00 Noon PT
Dear IT Business Owner:
Isn't it unfair?
You deliver the absolute best solutions and services. You consistently go the extra mile for your customers – even on your own dime.
Yet you have no awareness in your market. Your sales are stagnant or barely growing. Fly-by-night competitors with a lot less to offer consistently steal business away from you because clients only seem to care about price. And now, the economy has taken a toll on businesses, and some of your customers are disappearing.
As unjust as this is, here's the hard truth:
It doesn't matter if you are the absolute best provider of technical solutions in your city; if you don't know how to market your business to attract more high-paying clients, you are going to continue to be the best kept secret in your town, struggling to get by, barely generating any real revenue, and left to compete solely on price alone.
On this Webinar, you'll discover:
- The 3 most critical marketing secrets discovered and used by the top MSP's, VAR's and IT business owners in the world…and how they are cashing in on them RIGHT NOW.
- What the biggest road blocks to growing your business are and what you can do about them immediately.
- The type of marketing you absolutely MUST avoid if you want to gain new clients; ignore this and you could actually LOSE business.
- How to develop a PROCESS for your marketing rather than having to rely on referrals or waiting for the phone to ring.
- The one strategy a client of ours used to increase his PERSONAL INCOME to over $200,000 per year…and he did it in less than 8 months!

Heatst: "While Facebook grapples with how to solve its "fake news" problem, two people have created extensions for Google Chrome that flag sites that they believe produce bogus stories on a regular basis."
"For anyone unfamiliar with Chrome extensions, they are programs you can download within the Chrome browser that serve various purposes. For example, the AdBlocker extension is incredibly popular as it blocks almost every annoying ad on the Internet.
The first fake news extension, dubbed by creator Daniel Sieradski the "B.S. Detector," was created shortly after Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg said fake news was hard to identify and didn't really have an effect on the election. It flags articles from sites with questionable sources and appears to be relatively unbiased (for example, InfoWars and Occupy Democrats both have their sites listed and they are on opposite sides…)."
Fake news is anyone making fun of libs, jokes about the success of ObamaCare, great jobs, control of radical Islamic terrorism, roaring economy…
Warnings not to read stories? Where does that lead? Government decides what one can/cannot read?

BONUS RETURN - Reducing Emissions by Turning Nutrients and Carbon into Benefits
BONUS RETURN is an EU-funded project whose mission is to improve the adaptation of eco-technologies by contributing solutions for reuse of nutrients and carbon in the Baltic Sea.
The specific objectives of the project can be divided into 5 interlinked categories. RETURN will:
- Support innovation and market uptake of eco-technologies,
- Reduce knowledge gaps on policy performance, enabling/constraining factors, and costs and benefits of eco-technologies,
- Provide a framework for improved systematic stakeholder involvement,
- Support commercialization of eco- technologies, and
- Establish a user-driven knowledge platform and improve technology-user interface.
RETURN will identify and assess promising emerging eco-technologies that will be supported by transdisciplinary analysis of the capacity of eco-technologies' to address multiple sustainability challenges. The co-enquiry process with stakeholders will support evidence based reviews and a sustainability analysis of a number of selected technologies.
A comparative case study analysis will be applied that engages local businesses, civil society and public authorities in three case studies in Finland (Vantaanjoki), Sweden (Fyrisån) and Poland (Slupia). To ensure this research has regional relevance, it will be conducted in close collaboration with existing networks such as RFTB and local businesses across the Region. SWEDESD is responsible for one part of six on Innovative Methods in Stakeholder Engagement. This involves:
- A Serious Game System Development,
- Consultations with local stakeholders in each catchment area,
- Capacity building for exchange of knowledge and learning at the regional level, and
- National Focal Points' Coordination.
SWEDESD is, in its role as the national focal point for the Global Action Programme on ESD in Sweden and the lead partner for UNESCO in the enactment of Action Area 3, responsible for the active fostering of scaling in and of the project. Scaling as a concept is a response to the shortcomings of more linear traditions often referred to as the transfer of technology or first order approaches. In contrast to the first order tradition which focuses on just technical innovation to address the "object" (the eutrophication status of the marine environment), scaling as a second order tradition focuses on technical innovations to address the "relationships" to the object, i.e. also qualitative aspects of the scaling process. Thus far the Baltic Sea Region policy environment, and the measures and technologies it promotes, predominantly fall under the first order tradition. In the enactment of a scaling approach, RETURN will focus on eco-technologies that address the relationships between nutrients and key interconnected challenges. Thus cognisant that every context is defined by different relationships, the scaling of the eco-technology is supported by a deliberative approach and scaling model, Re-Solve, developed by SWEDESD and partners, that surfaces the needs, values and priorities that determine its relevance.

*waits patiently for you to get back*
Done googling? Ok, cool. I want to talk about leadership, not labor. I believed, until last week, that there was a finite lump of leadership. People are either leaders or not, and positions that need leaders are rare and finite and those people who are leaders ruthlessly compete for them. This is not helpful. Its not even accurate.
There are many kinds of leadership. There are also many opportunities to behave as a leader in unconventional places. Now that I know this, I've stopped worrying about being a leader or being a sheep. Instead, I focus much more on doing the right thing. In this grad school project, I am trying to do the following:
1. Be myself
2. Do useful things
3. Have fun
None of that involves being a better leader. Yet it has made me a better leader anyway because in order to accomplish those things I end up doing the things that leaders do. Maybe I'll never be a rare inspirational leader figure, but I no longer feel like a sheep.
-------- Beware: Below is my attempt to explain a lump of labor fallacy ---------
In economics there is a concept called the "lump of labor fallacy". This refers to the mistaken idea that if a company chooses to replace an employee with another (usually lower cost option), this is a loss for the employee and a win for the new employee (or robot, or whatever).
For example Company X, which I just made up, decides it would be cheaper to replace its five customer service representatives based in Boulder, CO with five call-center operators in India, at a substantial savings. Five people lose expensive jobs, five other people gain jobs. The theory goes that there is only so much labor to go around.
The problem is that even though this sometimes, briefly, works out this way, there's actually no reason why Company X wouldn't reinvest the savings and maybe higher some new people in order to pursue a new business opportunity. The fallacy is a fallacy because even though the threads are complicated to follow, the amount of useful work that people can be paid to do is tied to growth. If companies grow, so does the pool of uses for labor.

In this competitive age of internet, having online presence is vital to expand your business on local and global scale. Gone are the days when print media was used to advertise. Today, companies are trying hard to make their clients via internet. They are using their official websites, blogs, Facebook pages and email alerts to do the job.
Fitness coach website
Health and fitness coaching business is grooming day by day. For that business to grow and develop, it is important to make world have information about them through internet. A fitness coach must have his own website that provides all important data to the viewers.
Web design affects growth
A well-designed layout is something people really love and get fascinated by. Majority of internet surfers navigate away when they find dull and boring lengthy content on web pages. For the busy lot, a web page should have more vivid visuals, animation, graphics, sounds, images and colorful text than words. Content must be concise and to-the-point. It should be devoid of any unnecessary details.
Attractive landing page
A landing page should be rich, relevant and as much attractive as possible. To grab more and more clients worldwide, a fitness coach must hire expert web designers and developers to accomplish the task for him. They are experienced and offer their services efficiently. Make sure all tabs are clearly aligned on top of the page where visitors can easily move to other pages as well. Pictures and videos should give message powerfully and leave impression in minds.
Subscription offers
Today, many websites have subscription and email alert services. These are a wonderful tool to stay in touch with the clients and keep them up-to-date with your latest offers and packages. No one remembers which web page they viewed ten days ago or last month. So, email alerts are a tricky solution to that issue. Fitness coach can get immense advantages from this option. They can email various exercise tutorials or latest classes offers to their clients. Ask your web developer to have this feature in your website.
Web page make recognition
To make your online identity successful, you must have a well-designed bright and relevant website as a fitness coach to market your offers and services. Choosing appropriate background is important. Get pictures of exercise machines, yoga postures, gym tutorials and post some healthy diet plans on your website to attract interested people from the globe.

With a list like this, there are going to be a bunch of names that come up which are too good to be really worth complaining about, but not good enough to be worth raving about; names which are extraordinarily difficult to rank because you have no clue exactly where to put them. So in order to get them rankings that are at least somewhat safe, you write up the list from both ends until you have the blank space in the middle which is the only place they'll fit. Again, none of these names are truly bad, and in this leg, we're going to start seeing the good names crop up. It's just that they didn't go very far either here or there, so they come off as fillers.
53: Columbus Blue Jackets, NHL
Named after an old Civil War unit, this name isn't so bad. The problem is that it's so, well, innocuous. Old imagery tends to associated jackets with certain kinds of bees. Jackets is also a remnant of sports teams past which has definitely seen its day, and not only does it feel old, there's no anger or intensity to be associated with the color blue. There have been many teams in many sports known as the Yellow Jackets and Red Jackets, and while those names project intensity, Blue Jackets projects calm and cool. Which could explain why the Columbus Blue Jackets don't have a ton of success to their name just yet.
52: New England Patriots, NFL
Oh, goodie. Another pretentious name trying to enclose its entire geographical, multi-state region. Patriots is actually a fine name for the team – it was created to honor the original separatists who wanted the 13 Colonies to break free of England. Of course, one of the major focal points of the events leading to the American Revolution was Boston, in whose suburbs the Patriots play. And that's precisely why the New England Patriots would be best off named with the name they came up with upon emerging in the AFL in 1960: The Boston Patriots! The branding doesn't work, though, because generally a patriot is someone who loves his country, and I happen to think it's kind of rude of the Boston (excuse me, New England) team to try to earn fans through this kind of exclusivity. Boston already has a nasty air of pretension, and their fans are already some of the most self-important people on Earth, and there's really no need to fuel those feelings by enabling anyone to say either you cheer for their team or you hate America. Of course, it's not like it would stop them from such self-congratulatory hubris anyway, but it doesn't help matters.
51: Washington Capitals, NHL
Finally, a place where the word "capitol" is spelled in proper grammatical context. It's spelled with an O at the end, meaning a place, instead of an A at the end, a way of denoting currency. Also, both words have three syllables, and the final syllable of each starts with a T, so there's a good balance. The Capitols name works because Washington is the capitol of the United States, after all. Furthermore, since the Capitol is also the name of the building where Congress gathers, the name doubles as a recognition of the federal government. And since the Capitol is one of the most famous bits of architecture in the country, the name further triples as a celebration of great architecture in a city full of historic architecture. This name should be higher up, but it's no one's fault the name of the Capitol is so bland. (Edit: At least, that is what I would write had the Capitals been that smart, as I wrote this thinking they were. Apparently they're not. So while the A in Capitals makes sense to the way the federal government is run, it does a huge disservice to the city. Fuck this name.)
50: Oakland Raiders, NFL
The coolest pirate name on the list. This name would be more of a failure if the Raiders were still in Los Angeles, but it holds a lot more meaning in Oakland. Oakland is a historical hotbed of political activism, and that activism is more often than not against the prevailing government policy, prevailing social norms, and frequently against the so-called knowledge and ideas of the common, white, insufferable coffeehouse intellectuals as well. Oakland's political reputation has a real grassroots attitude, and you get the feeling that the people of Oakland are a hands-on bunch who try to enact change one place at a time with their bare hands. That makes the Raiders a true team for revolutionaries; or, as much of society would prefer to think of them, pirates. See, not every pirate image is bad, even when you are talking about one of the nastiest fanbases in the country. It's also cool to say – two double-syllable words with hard beginnings and ends with easy middles.
49: Toronto Maple Leafs, NHL
People frequently gripe about proper grammar when it comes to the Toronto Maple Leafs. They argue this is a shitty name just because it isn't the grammatically proper Toronto Maple Leaves. This team, however, was named after a Canadian Army battalion called the Maple Leaf battalion. I don't know why grammar rules work the way they do, but experts tend to argue that the name makes perfect sense since we're not talking about actual leaves. The maple leaf, of course, is the dominant symbol of Canada, and once again we're into trying to both nationalize and regionalize the fans at the same time. In this case, it works a lot better, because there's no attempt at exclusivity in the Maple Leafs name. It's just grabbing the symbol and latching on, subtly inviting people instead of saying "You're either with us or you're against us." The name is also a lot more balanced than it looks – both Toronto and Maple Leafs are three-syllable terms. See folks, you can use national symbols for names, just as you can use generic animals, as long as you can do it the right way.
48: Arizona Coyotes, NHL
The newest name on this list, the former Phoenix Coyotes changed their official name to the Arizona Coyotes just days before I began. It really doesn't change very much except the number of syllables. A coyote is a good animal to name the team after – it has nothing to do with fellow canine family member wolves, and it's very much an Arizona animal. The name change makes the whole name of the team a little clunkier, but it doesn't do any real damage.
47: Chicago Bears, NFL
Chicago is a burly city name. (Unlike the people who live there.) It has power and crunch. What to name the football team? An animal that has the same! Bears is another small word with big impact. It's also a great parallel allusion to one of Chicago's baseball teams, the Cubs, something that wasn't lost on the owner when the team was named. The Bears once played in Wrigley Field, and in exchange for the lease, the original owner said he would name the football team after the baseball team. Since cubs are most often taken in the context of bear cubs, and this owner noticed football players on the whole were larger than baseball players, he named the football team the Chicago Bears.
46: Los Angeles Dodgers, MLB
The most famous move remnant of all time rolled a lot nicer with its original name, Brooklyn Dodgers, and that's where the animosity toward Los Angeles Dodgers begins. Then again, I already mentioned a couple of posts ago that Brooklyn is such a great name that you can slap virtually any nickname onto a team there and have it come off halfway decent. The trouble is that since the name Dodgers comes from the original name Trolley Dodgers – people in Brooklyn who used to have to cross the streetcar tracks to get to the field – it makes at least as much regional sense in Los Angeles as it did in Brooklyn. Los Angeles does, after all, have a descendant of the old streetcar lines – a lightrail system. And when the team moved, they weren't walking away from a string of lousy seasons – they had won the World Series just two years before moving, and had a run of Pennant years. And let's face it, the name Dodgers is some of the best branding out there. There's no mistaking it, even with the diehard Brooklynites who won't shut up about the Dodgers still being Brooklyn's team. Guys, they're not going to return. If you hate the Yankees so much, buck up and turn to the Mets, okay?
45: Milwaukee Bucks, NBA
This is a strange name. A buck is a male deer, it has no balance, no connection to the Milwaukee area, and, well, I really can't think of a whole lot to say about it. (Kinda like the team itself!) It stands out, so that much I can offer, but deer are common enough to still be legal to hunt, and I don't think they drink beer. I'm giving this a nod largely on branding, just because deer are stronger, more dangerous animals than we give them credit for, so that avoids any complaints about it being generic. And really, it's not such a bad name.
44: Miami Heat, NBA
This is easily the best name on this list that doesn't invoke a plural. Heat may be an amorphous concept, but it's an amorphous concept with a very specific definition. Heat can burn you, dehydrate you, make you vomit, and give you strokes and heart attacks. We go out of our way as human beings to avoid exposure to too much heat at the same time, and when we have no other choice, we carry a ton of water with us. So yeah, heat is very nasty business, and it also happens to be something the city of Miami has in abundance. Miami is famous for its heat. While heat can be found in many, many other places, the name also has a good rapport with the city name, and it comes off like an extra syllable, almost. This is a very rare case where I'm going to award bonus points for not making the name a plural. Since Heat feels like an extension of Miami, the T at the end gives the name a bit of heft and finality, which would make it look ridiculous if we tried to pluralize it. Miami Heats. It just doesn't sound quite as right, does it? On the other hand, non-plural names are still old 90's hubris.
43: San Jose Sharks, NHL
It's strange that of all the generic natural critters people like to name sports teams after, the shark is so generic, and yet so underutilized. The name does have a connection to the Bay Area which makes it work out pretty well. The Pacific Ocean contains seven different kinds of shark, and the Bay Area is the location of an area of water called the Red Triangle which is home to a huge population of sharks. The name's balance comes mostly from the fact that it's a three-word name, with the syllable counts being one-two-one. That gives it a better, easier sound than it really has a right to have, and I wouldn't be lauding it if the NHL didn't take a chance on San Jose and decided instead to create the San Francisco Sharks – the four syllables in Francisco are just beasts. The branding of this team shouldn't work, just because sharks comes off as another one of those generic 90's affairs with animal ferocity, but the fact that marine naming is so uncommon makes it pleasant and quirky rather than bland and generic. We might criticize the NHL's efforts at expanding during the 90's, but this is an instance where it worked.
42: Phoenix Suns, NBA
I could write a lot of the same things about this name that I wrote about the Miami Heat: The nickname feels like a very natural extra syllable, the location is perfect since it celebrates something both regionalized and fierce, blah blah blah. The thing with the sun, though, is that it's the generator of heat, which gives it an extra push. Think of it this way: Heat alone isn't quite enough to melt your car in a hundredth of a second flat – you need a lot more than, say, a blowtorch. The sun is also the source of our ability to exist; it keeps the Earth in orbit. It has a major role in the operations of the solar system that mere heat alone doesn't have. Also, it's a plural, and since non-plural names are 90's marketing hubris, it gets extra points.
41: Tampa Bay Rays, MLB
Here we have another sun-related name. Changed from the 90's hubrisful Tampa Bay Devil Rays back in about 2007, the new names aspires to bring the Rays a new reputation as rays of light, as in a beacon of light to the baseball world, or as rays of sunlight. I'm giving this name a lot of credit for trying to be something so different, and it undoubtedly helps the branding – devil rays weren't a real relatable creature to name a team after. Although the idea of a ray of light certainly holds weight in the Tampa Bay area, calling the team the Rays is taking a different approach than a lot of teams. It's not aiming to create an image in ferocity or history or regionalization, but in inspiration. That makes it unique to any of the four major leagues, although I have my doubts that a lot of other people see it that way. The originality is stronger than most want to credit it with, but whether devil rays or rays, the branding doesn't lend itself to wonderful imagery.
40: Miami Marlins, MLB
The most lovably dysfunctional team in baseball – yes, even more so than the Mets – gets its name from a popular gamefish. You have to give it credit – the Marlins were created in the 90's, but instead of going with typical 90's ferocity, they went with a less aggressive name. If you consider it, you have to eventually figure out that many of the truly great (or truly popular) names in sports aren't aggressive at all. So in a way, Marlins is evoking many of the sports names of the olden days, concentrating on finding something the team's fans can uniquely call their own instead of trying to appeal to a national fanbase of prepubescent boys they hope worship ferocious imagery. And coming up with a name of such a popular gamefish gives the name Miami Marlins a sort of Hemingway feel. Author Ernest Hemingway was a big time gamesman, after all, who lived in Florida for a long time and wrote a book called The Old Man and the Sea, which was about a fisherman trying to make a big catch.

Buy The Heir on Amazon
It felt so great to be stepping back into Illéa and revisiting some beloved characters. I couldn't wait to see America, Lucy, Marlie and the rest of my favourites all grown up. But first I had to meet Princess Eadlyn.
I would like to say that I liked her, but she ruined the entire book. Considering her parents, and what we know of their personalities, it shocked me that they could have raised such a self centred, spoilt brat!
From the very beginning she does nothing but whine about how she is being forced to be queen because she was born before her twin. In fact, she complains constantly about literally everything. The work she has to do towards becoming the ruler of her country, the fact that she cannot have a normal life or that parts of her life are not her own and even the fact that she might have to tidy her room with her maid.
It isn't that Eadlyn is completely selfish. She does see the problems that people around her are facing, but she does nothing about them. For example, when she learns that Lucy is unable to have children. She mulls it over a few times and even gossips with her mother about it. But not once do we see her care enough to sit down and try to find a way to help. The girl is all over the fact that she is going to be a powerful woman, yet she has no inclination to use that power to help?
The fact that she bemoans the crown so much is laughable in itself. Because as soon as she is told that she should consider having a selection to distract the public from rioting and uprisings (more on that little snipe later) she suddenly decides that she doesn't want to share with a husband!
As for the selection itself:
1. I find it a little embarrassing that anyone would think a selection, basically reality TV, would distract a whole nation from all of their problems. Really? If anything I would think that this would cause even more anger at a monarchy who doesn't try to help the people, but instead throws money around. Do they really want to starve whilst watching the big lavish parties or to see Her Royal Brat choose a husband she quite obviously does not want.
2. We don't meet enough of the selected, and what we do get is a smattering seemingly random dates between massive amounts of Eadlyn's never ending whining inner monologue.
And wow do we get monologue. Nothing makes this girl happy. Well, one scene makes this girl happy, but it gives her room to complain later.
America and Maxon? Well, this book is 20 years later. These two were eighteen in the original series. So they're what? 40 almost? And yet they are written as being old, fragile and tired. I am sure with the access to food, healthcare and the best of everything that they are afforded as royalty they would be in their prime at that age.
I am disappointed. This whole book left me dissatisfied. There wasn't enough story to keep me interested. I simply kept reading to see if Eadlyn ever grew as a person… she didn't. The book didn't even really end. It just created enough loose threads to keep the Antarctic in sweaters, then ran out of pages.
So why two stars and not less? Kiera Cass has confirmed another sequel to finish the series. The book is as yet un-named, but I would like to hope that it will contain Eadlyn's personality transplant, more story that we actually care about, and something that saves this series for me. I'll give it two stars, because it deserves the chance.
Oh and Kiera… Bring back Celeste. She may have been the original brat, but at least she was classy about it.

Somebody on the RWA Board took the time to do a little research on how epublishing works and as a result, the Board has revised its definitions. Because no matter how many folks SAY the RWA has the power to redefine the terms "vanity publisher" and "subsidy publisher" and the word "primarily"….honest and truly, people, not so much.
From the RWA National Offices:
"At the request of members, the Board has re-visited the definitions of 'Subsidy Publisher' and 'Vanity Publisher.' After considering the advice of legal and industry professionals, along with suggestions by our Publisher Recognition Task Force, the board met in a telephonic board meeting on July 25th and redefined the terms 'Subsidy Publisher' and 'Vanity Publisher' as follows:
'Subsidy Publisher' means any publisher that publishes books in which the author participates in the costs of production in any manner, including publisher assessment of a fee or other costs for editing and/or distribution. This definition includes publishers who withhold or seek full or partial payment or reimbursement of publication or distribution costs before paying royalties, including payment of paper, printing, binding, production, sales or marketing costs.
'Vanity Publisher' means any publisher whose authors exclusively promote and/or sell their own books and publishers whose business model and methods of publishing and distribution are primarily directed toward sales to the author, his/her relatives and/or associates.
RWA's mission is to promote the professional interests of career-focused romance authors through networking and advocacy. Advocacy is one of the main reasons RWA exists, and since advocacy is included in RWA's core purpose, mandated by the Bylaws, the Board cannot simply decide to stop advocating for the fair treatment of RWA's members.
Though we know some RWA members disagree, when determining whether a publisher is a Vanity Publisher, RWA believes it is important to look at distribution of books. When a publisher does not pay an advance and does not become involved with marketing and distribution, it is, in reality, acting as nothing more than a consignment dealer for the book. Providing this kind of service requires little or nothing of the publisher, and the responsibility to market the product and drive traffic to single distribution point falls upon the author. There is nothing two-sided about this kind of arrangement, no give and take where both sides involved incur risk and both stand to gain. In this situation the author incurs all of the financial risk in attempting to market a product.
On the other hand, if a publisher doesn't pay an advance, but is investing time, energy, and money to provide alternate means of distribution, the publisher is at least somewhat invested in the product. This investment moves this relationship away from a consignment arrangement and closer to a two sided publishing agreement where the author and publisher are crucial to one another. Some of the methods of national distribution that benefit an author are: Advertising in national trade or consumer magazines, wholesaler agreements, Amazon.com-type internet bookstore agreements, or national chain bookstore agreements to carry a publisher's titles. Also included are exhibiting at national and/or regional tradeshows and book fairs as well as advertising to readers.
Right now, publishing is changing daily. Companies are rising and falling with alarming speed, but it is the writers who are being hurt when a company goes under or fails to live up to promises. There are, of course, many stable and viable publishing companies who have become established in the past few years, but even with those companies RWA must continue to advocate for the fair and ethical treatment of its authors, as it has always done with long established publishers. RWA welcomes the addition of strong, viable publishers because any increase in reliable, reputable avenues of publishing is good for writers in general.
There will never come a time, however, when a writer can afford to assume any contract is good. It will always be the author's responsibility to read all the clauses, question the ones he/she doesn't understand, find out what the industry standard is, and only then, with full knowledge, make the decision to sign or not to sign. The hard truth is that a Vanity Publisher or Subsidy Publisher is not, in general, as favorable to the writer as an advance-paying non-Vanity Publisher or non-Subsidy Publisher. RWA is not here to determine who should sign or not sign any specific contract. That decision remains solely with the author. But in its role as advocate for its members, RWA must take a stand."
So we're all legitimately published again. I feel so much better now. */sarcasm*

After 12 months of follow-up, 96 percent of patients who received the Micra transcatheter pacing system (Medtronic) had no major complications.
Patients implanted with the Micra had a 48 percent reduction in the risk of major complications compared with conventional systems, according to a Medtronic news release. The company also said the risk was lower in all subgroup analyses based on age, sex or comorbidity.
The results were presented in a late-breaking session at the European Society of Cardiology (ESC) Congress in Rome on Aug. 28.
The FDA approved the Micra system in April, making it the first commercially available leadless intracardiac transcatheter pacing system in the U.S. The approval was based on a prespecified interim analysis that found 96 percent of patients did not have system-related or procedure-related major complications at six months. The Micra was successfully implanted in 99.2 percent of patients.
The findings of that analysis were published in the New England Journal of Medicine in November 2015 and simultaneously presented at the American Heart Association Scientific Sessions.
At the ESC Congress, researchers revealed updated data from that ongoing study. After 12 months, the Micra was associated with a 47 percent reduction in the risk of hospitalization and an 82 percent decrease is the risk of system revisions compared with conventional pacing systems.
Medtronic also said that the Micra had a projected average longevity of more than 12 years based on an analysis of 644 patients. The Micra is a single-chamber ventricular pacemaker that is comparable in size to a large vitamin.
"The Micra TPS has consistently demonstrated strong effectiveness and safety benefits in patients with diverse comorbidities," lead researcher Philippe Ritter, MD, a cardiologist at University Hospital of Bordeaux in France, said in a news release. "All pre-specified safety and efficacy objectives from the trial were met, with consistent findings from early performance, six-month, and 12-month data."

San Diego, CA (PressExposure) September 17, 2013 -- Steven Howard, Associate Director at Astex Pharmaceuticals will give a presentation on "Fragment Based Drug Discovery for Protein-protein Interaction Targets: from mM Fragments to Potent Dual Antagonists of XIAP and cIAP1" at the Protein-Protein Interaction Conference to be held in San Diego, CA on October 23-25, 2013 by GTC.
Dr. Howard will discuss how Astex has successfully applied fragment based methods to a number of protein-protein interactions (PPIs), a target class which represents a significant challenge in drug discovery.
The presentation will describe the use of fragment based drug design (FBDD) to identify antagonists of XIAP and cIAP1, members of the inhibitor of apoptosis protein (IAP) family, as potential anti-cancer agents. The IAP proteins down-regulate apoptosis by inhibiting caspases and other pro-apoptotic factors. A defining feature of these proteins is the presence of three Baculoviral IAP Repeat (BIR) domains in their sequence. The mitochondrial protein, second mitochondrial activator of caspases (SMAC), deactivates the anti-apoptotic function of IAPs via a protein-protein interaction with the IAP-BIR domains. X-ray crystal structures show that the N-terminal sequence of SMAC binds to the BIR3 domain of XIAP.
Several companies and academic groups have used this information to develop SMAC peptidomimetic compounds based on AVPI and these compounds are cIAP1 selective over XIAP (in the manner of the tetrapeptide AVPI: IC50 cIAP1-BIR3 = 0.016 uM, XIAP-BIR3 = 0.3 uM). Using a fragment screening platform (PyramidTM) a non-alanine fragment with weak affinity (IC50> 5 mM) for XIAP was identified. Using structure based design supported by multiple X-ray crystal structures of co-complexes, a lead series was obtained with low micromolar potency and a balanced dual cIAP1 and XIAP antagonist profile.
The presentation will describe the fragment evolution to the lead series, which has subsequently been optimised into a sub- 1 nM dual IAP antagonist with oral bioavailability and in vivo efficacy in a number of mouse tumorxenograft models.
Dr. Steven Howard is a Senior Director in the department of medicinal chemistry at Astex Pharmaceuticals. He has been associated with a number of successful fragment-based drug discover projects aimed at identifying novel anti-cancer agents. Dr. Howard obtained his PhD from Cambridge University in 1995 and then moved to Canada, to take up a postdoctoral fellowship at the University of British Columbia. On returning to the UK, he spent five years at GlaxoSmithKline, working on anti-infectives, before moving to Astex in 2002.
The relatively new field of Protein-Protein Interaction (PPI) is experiencing fantastic growth in the field of drug discovery. The key concepts of PPI are to understand how proteins interact, to understand why inhibiting them is beneficial, and how to identify molecules that block the interactions as treatment strategies.
The Protein-Protein Interaction Conference will have sessions that cover novel techniques, new algorithms databases for PPIs, and potential druggable sites for disrupting protein-protein interactions. Attendees will gain an enhanced understanding of the molecular basis of peptide and protein aggregation and insights into the design of inhibitors of peptide and protein aggregation. Some focused topics that will be discussed are how inhibiting PPIs can be a promising therapeutic target, PPI interactions within the TNF family, the first small-molecule inhibitors for the CD40-CD40L, and the fundamental aspects of protein-protein interactions.
This conference is also part of the Protein Discovery Summit, which consists of this track and three other tracks:
I. Antibody and Protein Therapeutics
II. Protein Expression, Purification & Characterization
III. 2nd Protein Kinases and Drug Design
