The Backyard Project returns to stores today with a broadened range of T-shirts, pullovers, and zippered jackets in styles for men and women.
"One hundred percent" of the cotton used was grown in the United States, according to director of sportswear Sumi Scott, who praised the expertise of American farmers like Jim Olvey of The Natural Hue Company in Maricopa, Ariz., and Ted Sheely of Sheely Family Farm in Stratford, Calif.
Ginned in California and Arizona, the cotton was spun into yarn in South Carolina before being dyed, cut and sewn in Los Angeles by small businesses such as Antex, JC Industries, and Care-Tex Industries, both of which represent a combined 118 years of experience in domestic apparel manufacturing, Scott said.

"The Backyard Project is about connecting with local artisans right here in the U.S.A.," Scott added. "It's about knowing which farms grew your cotton, who spun the yarn, or how your product was dyed. We learned a lot during Backyard's 2014 introduction and challenged ourselves to produce a bigger run of locally sourced clothing this season."
Paul Kang, director of Care-Tex, sees the initiative as the start of something bigger. "The Backyard Project emphasizes the importance of 'made in the U.S.A.,'" he said. "The more that large brands can raise awareness of the potential for domestic production, the more likely the consumer will be to seek out domestically produced garments. It's great to see The North Face supporting this movement."

Last weekend Emi and I visited Gunma Prefecture. It was a three day trip and we tried to do as much sightseeing as we could. The first day of the trip we stayed at Kusatsu Onsen town. Kusatsu is recognized as one of Japan's three most famous hot spring resorts.
We started our sightseeing at the Shrine that overlooks the center of town.
I always enjoy looking at the small stone statues that are almost always a part of a Shinto shrine.
Each one has a unique expression on it's face.
Descending down the steps of the shrine...
...the center of town comes into view.
And, it is quite lively here today.
Many people walk around town dressed in their hotel's yukata.
In the center of the center of town is the massive Yubatake hot spring. Gushing up from this source at 4000 liters per minute is highly acidic hot water (sulfur).
The water feeds in to these troughs that are designed to separate some sulfur from the water for other uses.
Emi poses by a famous visitor plaque.
Also, there is a free foot soaking hot bath here too!
The troughs make for a visually fun center of attraction.
After exiting the sulfur collecting troughs the water shoots down to a pool where it then continues on to various hot baths around town.
Yubatake hot spring is really quite a sight to see (and smell). Many people enjoy having their picture taken here.
After spending the afternoon strolling around town enjoying the atmosphere we decided head to our hotel to check in and soak in the hotel's fantastic hot spring bath.
On the way a man is offering free sweet dumplings in the hope that if you like them you'll buy some.
Here, on the outskirts of town is our inn for the night.
There will be more posts to come on our three day trip to Gunma so stay tuned!
As usual, thanks for stopping by!

More and more noticeable changes over the past couple of weeks. Almost all of the windows are in, the first floor demo is 90% complete and the messy back yard has been re-graded. The crew was at the house this morning waiting on stock to start framing the deck.
New stairs to come in the front. The overhang will have brackets, when completed. not columns as we initially planned.
First floor opened up. No more chimney. Wall to the left of the stairs will be brought out to meet the column in the middle.
Whole for slider onto the deck has been opened up.
Some pics of the back yard after regrading.
Multitude of perennials have been moved to the back of the yard for replacement around the property. That's some work we will tackle, cutting in new beds, moving plants around, etc. Most likely, we'll end up using the services of a local garden center such as Mahoney's or Corliss Bros to give us some direction, so that things look as good as could be.

I first saw this product reviewed on a lot of makeup blogs and really wanted to try it out for myself as I'm a sucker for following the trend! I went and picked up one in the color "Sweet Tart", which is shown below, and absolutely lurrved it when I tried it on so I ended up going back the next day to buy two more colours.
Basically what this product is is a tinted lip balm in a tube. Revlon describes it as "Buttery Balm + Shiny Color." I bought mine from Boots and at £7.99 it's a really good buy for the coming summer months!
- Available in soo many colours (20 to be exact)
- Smooth, lip balmy feel on your lips once applied (hence the lip butter name)
- Appears smooth and silky on your lips
- Applied easily and removed easily
- Adorable container
- Perfect for a bit of color that's not like that of full-on, long lasting lipstick
- Doesn't last long on your lips so you need to reapply often
That con isn't that bad considering most lip products are like that. I typically just wear it when I'm going out for a short while to give my lips a bit of colour.
I'll give it a 4/5 only because I wish it lasted longer, but I guess that's wishful thinking since it's a lip butter.
Love Holly

Last Friday the dreadful Err 99 filled my camera's screen. It is actually a pretty terrible feeling when you take 25,000 pictures a year, but ultimately when your camera gets used that much what can you expect? I have asked Santa for a new camera and my current one is sent off in hopes of reviving it for a bit longer. In the whole scheme of things it isn't really a big deal, but hopefully it won't be long before my close companion is by my side.

You may have noticed my absence lately both here on the blog and also on my socials, or not, maybe I've left it so long y'all be like 'Twist of who?!'
I have mentioned before that the combination of starting my new job and trying to finish off my study has left me a bit time poor. While all this is true and certainly a worthy excuse, it was exactly that; an excuse.
We 'make' time for what we feel is important and lately I just haven't felt the blogging vibe. Every time I sat down to write something I just felt like I had nothing new to really offer, others were already out there saying it much better than I could and so I didn't.
I didn't really think anyone would really notice I was on hiatus but as it turns out they did, and not just my mother! People, both online and off would ask me why I stopped and what's up with that?
I spun them the same jargon I just spun all of you, work, study, social life = No blog.
Now to be fair, this is partly true, in the past I had been a bit of lazy mole and left a lot of my study to the last minute. Time was running out so the last few months I have been pushing out a minimum of 2 assignments per week + working full time.
I'm not going to lie to you… it fucking sucked.
BUT I am happy to announce that as of this Friday I will be all finished! I can't tell you how good that feels! It has been a long 3 years and I have wanted to quit more times than not. My poor tutor has talked me down from the ledge so many times it's not funny, I'm fairly certain she will be celebrating the fact that she never has to see my name pop up in her inbox again!
So you know what that means right? No more excuses, no more stalling. I'm not sure how often ill post yet but let's just play that by ear and see how we go eh?
I can however tell you this much for sure, Friday night at precisely 5.01pm you will find me champagne in hand celebrating the END OF STUDY!!!! Not too hard of course because I fly to Melbourne at 6am Saturday morning to meet my friends new baby but still, celebrating none the less!!!

Kansas puts emphasis on filing taxes electronically
Paul Miller has been doing his taxes and filing paper returns for 70 years.
For nearly 60 years, he's had a side business doing others' returns, although he's cut back to about a half-dozen clients this year. For all of them, it's been paper returns.
"I'm just not as computer savvy as a lot of people are," the 92-year-old Wichitan said. "I like to see what I'm doing. Put it down on paper, then come back the next day to see what I've done.
"On the computer screen, I'm never quite sure."
That approach flies in the face of what the Kansas Department of Revenue wants from taxpayers.
Citing budget cuts and the cost of processing paper returns, the agency mailed out only 144,000 tax return booklets this year. No booklets were sent to large distribution centers, such as post offices and libraries, as they had been in the past.

Proper Email Etiquette and Form:
Always fill out the subject line.
If you are sending an email for the first time, identify yourself.
People will often delete emails from unknown senders thinking the

colon (:).
For example, "Dear Ms. Borger:"
4. Keep your

5. When
sending professional email, avoid odd fonts, colors, and images that are
distracting and use unnecessary storage space.
6. When
sending an email, do not simply hit "reply" to an old message that has
nothing to do with your new message.
Create a new email—even if it means looking up the recipient's
address—or erase the irrelevant information.
7. Always include a closing and a signature. Do not assume the recipient will be able to identify you solely according to your email address.
Revision Checklist*
Observe how others write e-mail where you work
Provide an informative, specific subject line

Google's computer program AlphaGo defeated its human opponent, South Korean Go champion Lee Sedol, on Wednesday in the first face-off of a historic five-game match.
AlphaGo's victory in the ancient Chinese board game is a breakthrough for artificial intelligence, showing the program developed by Google DeepMind has mastered one of the most creative and complex games ever devised.
Commentators said the match was close, with both AlphaGo and Lee making some mistakes and a result that was unpredictable until near the end.
Lee's loss was a shock to South Koreans and Go fans. The 33-year-old initially was confident of a sweeping victory two weeks ago, but sounded less optimistic a day before the match.
"I was very surprised because I did not think that I would lose the game. A mistake I made at the very beginning lasted until the very last," said Lee, who has won 18 world championships since becoming a professional Go player at the age of 12.
Lee said AlphaGo's early strategy was "excellent" and that he was stunned by one unconventional move it made that a human never would have played.
Despite his initial loss, he did not regret accepting the challenge.
"I had a lot of fun playing Go and I'm looking forward to the future games," he said, smiling calmly.
The loss shook the South Korean Go community. Yoo Chang-hyuk, also a South Korean Go master, said it was a big shock.
"It did not play like a human at all," Kim Sung-ryong, another Go expert, said of the computer's lack of emotion despite making some potentially fatal mistakes.
Hundreds of thousands of people watched the game live on TV and YouTube. The remaining four matches will end on Tuesday.
Computers conquered chess in 1997 in a match between IBM's Deep Blue and chess champion Garry Kasparov, leaving Go as "the only game left above chess" Demis Hassabis, Google DeepMind's CEO, said before the game.
In a game of Go, known as Weiqi in Chinese, the players are required to secure their territory on the board, and the person with the most territory is the winner. The game originated in China more than 2,500 years ago,
Top human players rely heavily on intuition and feelings to choose among a near-infinite number of board positions in Go, making the game extremely challenging for the artificial intelligence community.
DeepMind team built "reinforcement learning" into AlphaGo, meaning the machine plays against itself and adjusts its own neural networks based on trial-and-error. AlphaGo can also narrow down the search space for the next best move from the near-infinite to something more manageable. It also can anticipate long-term results of each move and predict the winner.
AlphaGo's win over a human champion shows computers can mimic intuition and tackle more complex tasks, its creators say. They believe that ability could be used to help scientists solve tough real-world problems in health care and other areas.

Carmel Mission Bell Tower
One of my favorie spots in California, the Carmel Mission, with Bougainvillea in full bloom. No matter how many times I vist these beautiful architecural gems I always find a new detail or angle on a familliar spot.

Golden Gate Twilight
Evening at the Golden Gate Bridge. Just after dark is always one of my favorite times to go sightseeing around California with my camera. I found myself in the bay area a couple weeks ago for a project, and fortunately I was able to make time to enjoy the sights.

Stearns Wharf Twilight
Stearns Wharf just after sunset. I can't think of a better place to relax after a long hot day.

Twilight Harbor Mist
The evening mist rolling in over Santa Barbara always puts on a beautiful show. This particular evening the beautiful fog was just enveloping Stearns Wharf and the Santa Barbara Harbor as the last colors of the setting sun bathed the city in a beautiful glow.

Sunset Surf
My wife and I spent this evening walking on Butterfly Beach. The view was spectacular as always, but this particular sunset coincided nicely with an extremely low tide making for a large beach with lots of rocks to turn over and interesting things to see. And of course plenty of room for every imaginable kind of dog to race after balls stopping only for a second to get a scratch behind the ears from us. (I'm pretty sure they can sense dog people) Since our recent winter storms the surf has been higher than usual, so there was something for everyone tonight. The best part for me was enjoying it all with my best friend!

Bixby Pastel Twilight
The evening light changes moment to moment along Highway one. Just a few minutes earlier it seemed that the light was all gone, but as the evening settled in, the glow from the unseen sunset over the horizon seemed to fill the air with a beautiful warmth.

Point Pinos Golden Hour
A beautiful evening at Point Pinos Lighthouse in Pacific Grove. I love how, if you look really close, you can see the sky and sunset inverted in the lens of the light.

Walking on the Beach
The rain was amazing last week, but it left our beaches a little less soft and sandy. Still, an amazing place to spend the evening. Fortunately it won't be long before the sand finds it's way back to the beach, and the beautiful hills in the background will be much greener and more alive.
Wednesday, December 9, 2015
Cypress Twilight
Last night at Butterfly Beach. One of the nice tradeoffs this time of year for our extremely early evenings are the fantastic sunsets. Of course you have to make sure you get out to see them. But even later in the evening after the sun is gone, the show can last for a surprisingly long time. You just have to slow down and take it all in (and being away from bright lights helps too). As the evening gets darker, the colors in the sky sometimes get richer and more purple. The sky can take on a completely different look well after the actual sunset seems like it has faded and the show can be just amazing!

Endless Wonder
Every day is a work of art! Although the weather conditions can be similar and there are things I look for to give me hints where to stand with my camera, I never cease to be in awe of the individual beauty of each day. I can return to the same spot over and over, but there is always something new to see. This is from one of my favorite perches in the foothills overlooking the Santa Barbara Harbor, Stearns Wharf and Santa Cruz Island in the distance. This is the direction I like to face on a clear evening with high beautiful clouds like this. On an evening like this it's tempting to go somewhere and watch the sun set over the hills or at the beach. But when the conditions are right, the glow cast by that spectacular sunset can bathe everything in a wonderful new light. If you take the time to look around and not be distracted by the obvious show, sometimes you'll find something even more amazing. And if you can manage it, don't ever loose that sense of wonder, It makes every day amazing!

Point Pinos Sunset Panorama
Sunset in Monterey at the Point Pinos Lighthouse. The sea mist was quite heavy from the large waves on the other side of the light house. It made the sunset colors glow beautifully.
Thursday, September 17, 2015
Courthouse Tower
A beautiful angle on an amazing local architectural wonder.
Wednesday, September 9, 2015
Bixby Creek Bridge Twilight
South of Monterey along the Pacific Coast Highway there is a stretch of California coastline that has to be one of the most beautiful drives in the world. Among the many amazing things this area known as Big Sur has to offer are some amazing man made wonders. This is Bixby Creek Bridge an open spandrel (referring to the spaces above the arches) concrete arch bridge. It's completion in 1932 meant an end to the 11 mile inland trek required to cross Bixby creek which was all but impassable in the winter. As beautiful as the bridge is during the day, just after sunset the colors really come alive especially with a nice long exposure.
Saturday, September 5, 2015
Clocktower Twilight
An amazing view of Santa Barbara just after sunset from the top of the Santa Barbara County Courthouse.
Tuesday, August 25, 2015
Evening Harbor Glow
As we are at the start of another heat wave here in Santa Barbara, it's time to spend more time at the water. And I've noticed an interesting change, as the weather is so unseasonably warm, the water is actually warming up enough that people play in it much more and later into the evening than normally. They were still in the water well after dark, and if you've ever spent any time on our beaches you know they are usually get a bit cool once the sun goes down, and, unless you're really active the water can cool you off uncomfortably pretty quickly even during the day. But these days with over 70 degree water temperatures it's warm enough to stay quite pleasant. Hopefully this will also mean a good wet winter and an end to our drought.
Monday, August 24, 2015
Mission Evening
The Santa Barbara Mission, after a long and busy day. Only a few of us wander the grounds this late in the evening, but there are always people marveling at its beauty. The white light in the middle of the photo is from the cell phone that another pair of evening explorers were using as a flash light to find their way. Over the long exposure the people all but vanish, leaving the light as their only trace. And I can almost feel the cool breeze again looking at the way the tree's branches were swinging.
Sunday, August 23, 2015
Carmel Highlands Sunset Mist
Every day is full of wonder. This is the coast of California, just between Carmel (on the Monterey Peninsula) and Big Sur. The views are amazing any time, but in the evening the show is always something special.
Saturday, August 22, 2015
Santa Barbara Twilight Glow
The cool breezes lately in the evening have welcomed the return of an absent friend! This year more than most I have really missed the beautiful blanket of fog that rolls in over Santa Barbara. No two nights are ever quite the same. Sometimes the boundaries are less defined, but other evenings, like this amazing night, the marine layer has a distinct boundary making look like a slow gentle wave washing over the city. There is no better place to be when that happens than just above it watching the glow of the city lights peek through.
Friday, August 21, 2015
Butterfly Beach Milky Way
Waiting for Perseids out on Butterfly Beach. This was a really fun evening. There were only a few really spectacular meteors, but they were worth the wait. Especially with this view. Even without the camera, once your eyes really adjust it's breathtaking how many stars you can see. Even more amazing to think that the little spots of light are just our local neighbors. Really just a small handful of the stars in our galaxy, the bright swath of stars so numerous they blend together and are largely blocked out by the large clouds of gas and dust in the middle. Standing under the stars always brings out the child-like wonder in me! But then again, exploring most of the world with my camera does that too.
Thursday, August 20, 2015
Carmel Sunset Mist
Wandering on the beach in Carmel. I don't think I've ever seen a an evening that wasn't beautiful here, but there are some evenings that are really something special (Like evey evening I get to walk this way holding hands with my wife.) But this particular evening the beautiful marine layer put on an even better show than usual for us, swirling and rolling in over Pebble Hill in the distance. All while this amazing Cypress took it all in. I think it may be time for another trip up our beautiful coast!

Yacht Racers
This evening walking out to the breakwater at the harbor, we immediately noticed something a little different. In the distance there was a noticeable presence that was a little out of the ordinary. In the place where the hard working fishing boats normally sleep tucked safely away in their slips, there was a very orderly procession of perfectly identical (and very large) sail boat masts. As we got closer we saw that the location is now (I assume temporarily) inhabited by a fleet of very nice looking racing yachts. It seems there is some sort of race in town, and the people involved were having a great time at the many restaurants along the harbor. This area is usually quite festive with tourists and people out for an enjoyable evening, but this evening there was an even more noticeable party atmosphere.
Tuesday, August 18, 2015
Butterfly Rays
The sunlight streaming through the ocean mist always puts on a beautiful show. These humid days seem to have a head start, the mist from the waves lingers in the air even longer putting on a colorful show late into the evening.
Monday, August 17, 2015
Santa Barbara Courthouse Mountain Sunset
A beautiful evening at the Santa Barbara County Courthouse. It's hard to match the beauty of the Santa Barbara Courthouse, but then again, from the right view on an evening like this it just fits right into its amazing surroundings.
Sunday, August 16, 2015
Milky Way Vista
This week was a great week for stargazing. In case you missed it, the Perseid meteor shower peaked on Wednesday.
If you did miss it, don't feel bad. I love that sort of thing and I would have missed it if it weren't for running
into a good friend at the beach while I was taking an evening walk with my wife. Fortunately we were all set up for
taking photos of the stars anyway. We got a few nice meteor shots, (this NOT being one of them, that's just a passing
jet in the sky) and saw even more really beautiful meteors. But I was, purely coincidentally looking to experiment with
a wide enough view to capture more of the milky way. Although the meteors were amazing, this is more the image I was
looking for and it just goes to show, you don't need to wait for the next meteor shower (October 8th, by the way) to
find something absolutely amazing as close as the night sky.

Success Story by Shauna
As you may know, I am a mom of two beautiful boys, a two year old and a 5 month old.
When I started the TAFYH program my youngest son was only three months old and I had
phoned Donna to ask her when the next program would begin because I thought it was too
soon after giving birth to take this on. However, Donna convinced me to take part in this class
and I am very grateful for this. Although I can not take allot of the herbs because I am nursing I
have still had amazing results. I committed to exercising daily, re-committed to my food,
supplements and herbs, and started journaling. The results have been a weight loss from 120lbs
to 110lbs, my energy levels have skyrocketed as I don't feel the urge to have to take a nap, even
though my sleep is interrupted about 2 or 3 times a night to feed. I used to lie awake in
between feeds, where now I feel I get more quality sleep. I feel like my "MOMMY BRAIN" is
getting better and my nerves have settled.However I do look forward to a month from now
when I can train my little guy to sleep through the night.

Feeling like working from the comfort of your bed all day but not creative enough to come up with an excuse that doesn't involve a burst water valve? Don't worry – your new excuse is a click away.
Created by a group of San Francisco-based programmers - who'd spent far too long playing video game Heroes of the Storm and started brainstorming reasons why they'd want to spend the next bleary-eyed day in their pyjamas - Work From Home Ninja, or WFH.Ninja for short, throws up plenty of fake reasons to dodge the office, even asking users to submit entries and vote as to whether certain ones will 'fly' with bosses or not.
Another helpful programming shortcut involves variables and conditions, which basically means "I've been snowed in today" won't hit your screen at the height of summer. And that's not all: such is the way tech is moving, the makers of the site are currently working on a related app for wearable, allowing users to see excuses on a smartwatch and swipe the ones they don't like, as well as the handy if P45-flouting function of sending an excuse directly to a manager.
Just be wary of the fact most responses are from the US - we're not sure that a manager in Glasgow would have much sympathy for you catching your fictional child's baseball game.

GameWars launches franchise business, partners with Destructoid to party
Want a job in videogames, but suck at writing and design? How are your partying skills?
If you (or a group of friends) are looking to turn your gaming hobby into a business, I'd like you to consider GameWars Franchise concept, run by my friend Matthew Kochman. Essentially, he promotes and hosts videogame parties to companies and families that don't want to deal with the hassle of buying, maintaining, and securing a bunch of gadgets. You can apply online right now.
The money's not bad, either. On average, he's grossing $800 for two-hour events and has seen his business triple in the last three years. To succeed as an owner, you'll need the capital for the equipment ($60k), an organized half-brain, and the toughest part: some exposure to reach people. Luckily, you're looking at it.
Destructoid is proud to announce that we're partnering with all future GameWars Franchise owners to host stupid-awesome community meetups nationwide. World domination, anyone?
You've surely seen other videogame party trucks that squish kids into a meat locker with tiny screens, but GameWars isn't about that nonsense. It's actually a compact trailer that hauls hardcore gaming equipment with large HD screens, and is capable of entertaining over 50 people per trailer. Between gigs you've got the gear to host your own tournaments to diversify your income.
If you've been a long-time Dtoid reader you know that we love to host NARPS (no apparent reason parties). Essentially, this gives a Dtoider the opportunity to make NARP'ing their day job. We like the idea because it gives our staff an excuse to party, and also get our community away from the Internet and meet in real life. We've worked together in the past hosting videogame parties at places like Florida International University and TigerDirect's gaming lounge.
We'd love to see community members running their own territories in the future and promoting their own events, hopefully in a city near you. To quote Matthew, "It's easy money doing something you love. There are few businesses you can start with this much capital up front, and with Destructoid's partnership we offer something nobody else does."
I hope one of you sells your wife, kids, and kidneys tonight to join this adventure with us!

Pedigree Collapse, a photo by midgefrazel on Flickr.
Pedigree Collapse
Huh? Fewer ancestors. Well, that's not a problem. I like it when I research a married couple once and find them again when I work on a different line. Maybe I will have time to have a life after all?
I have discovered that Robert Parke and his wife Martha Chaplin appear twice in this pedigree view. (see the pink double-headed arrow?)
I might not have noticed it except that I have two woman named Martha Park in a later generation.
For a few minutes, I thought that this was the same woman who married two different men named Isaac. But, that is not the case here as I have found in other places in my work.
It seems that Robert Park had two sons who both had a child named Martha.
New England is a crazy place.

So I'm trying to come up with a good workflow for fetching the details of an issue given a <volume title>, <issue number>, and (optionally) , <year of issue>.
My first instinct is to do a query on the search resource with the resources parameter set to "issue" to filter by issues and the query string being "<volume title> <issue number>", however it appears no issues are ever returned by a query on the search resource. Is this an issue to be fixed?
Alternatively I would do:
1. Query on the search resource, filtered by volume, with the query string being <volume title>
2. If <year of issue> is provided, filter out volumes that have a start year after <year of issue>, I would also like to filter out volumes whose count_of_issues is less than the <issue number>, but that's not currently provided in the search results of a volume.
3. If the number of volumes after filtering is >1 then present info to the user so they can select the right one.
4. I would now have a volume ID, so I could query the volume resource for that specific ID
5. The volume resource would provide a list of issues, but selecting the right one would be a problem. The issue numbers are not provided in the response so I would have to iterate through the issues, getting their details until I found one with issue number = <issue number>. If the volume is say... Fantastic Four, in the worse case that would mean 563 GETs to find the correct issue.
So it would probably be best to provide the issue number in the issue list in the volume resource. Although it would be great if doing a search for "<volume title> <issue number> <year of issue>" and filtering by issue could return the possible issue IDs directly.
EDIT: Even better if I could do explicit filtering on the issues resource :)
So I'm trying to come up with a good workflow for fetching the details of an issue given a <volume title>, <issue number>, and (optionally) , <year of issue>.

Savor the taste. It was an unforgettable experience joining and winning the cooking challenge dubbed Diva Media Cook Off yesterday at EDSA Shangrila Hotel, Mandaluyong. Diva, the leading women's entertainment destination from NBC Universal Network launched two of the hottest reality cooking competition shows set to air this May as part of its #DivaLovesFood line-up: Chef In Your Ear (Wednesdays 8pm) and My Kitchen Rules Season 7 (premieres May 9 Monday at 1020pm, New episodes Monday to Wednesday at 925pm).
To have a first-hand experience, all members of the media participated in a cook-off with specific instructions. I was with the biggest number in Table 1 assigned as the leader when I told them how much I love cooking at home. With me were Cheryl and George True, Jude Cartalaba, Ms. Donna, Mommy Adae and daughter Abi, Ms.Leah and Sam and Ms.Joy Mendiola. With surprise ingredients, we were given only 60 minutes to complete the task of one dish and one mocktail.
We had too many arguments on which to cook first and what dish but because of the good gift of patience, we've all managed to work together and whip up dishes from collaborated efforts. When I was asked to present the dishes, I thought of only "Summer Zing of Flavors". It must've been the colors and the ingredients that gave me the idea of summer and since we were in panic while working, "zing" would be a great word to describe the swift and fun.
Voila! We came up with Tomato and Mushroom Pasta that actually tastes so good, Rosemary Chicken (we called Marya Marya because it was marinated in egg, soy sauce and butter), Salmon in Capers and Lemon, a plateful of Tropical Fruits in Season decorated by the Dessert pack of Jude, Donna, Cheryl and George and the fusion of fruits we called Summer Zest which blended watermelon apples and oranges, orange, melon and lemon syrup, apples oranges and mangoes. To our surprise, every dish was so delicious that it was wiped out in seconds after the taste test of the judges. I knew it was all concocted with love and they must have felt it too that we won. With this experience, I've grown more interest to watch more cooking reality shows and explore more types of cuisine to improve my skills. Thank you Diva Channel Philippines. I am already excited to watch Chef In Your Ear and My Kitchen Rules Season 7. For more information, please visit http://www.divauniversal.asia and https://www.facebook.com/diva.philippines/

Arranged for creative music ensemble, Sanchez's music will be divided into several small cycles which can be performed in a flexible order.
My Own Silence, Jared Mattson*: Jared Mattson's MY OWN SILENCE is a 4 movement piece for solo electric guitar exploring elements of composition, technology (numerous guitar pedals, various amplifications, tape tracks, loops, etc.) and improvisation.

clusters of seeds with varying sizes and shades of color, *Pomegranates* uses
varying sizes of pitch clusters with a range of tonal colors. *Pomegranates

Monk since his eleven years, age at which he starts to memorize various texts enabling him to study Buddhist philosophy and psychology later. 1976 he obtains his graduation in the highest degree of Geshe (Lharampa) with outstanding results.
He received several teachings by his Holiness the Fourteenth Dalai Lama and his two tutors Ling y Triyang Rinpoché, by Zemei Rinpoché, Thayab Tobden Rinpoché and specially by his Holiness Song Rinpoché with whom he had a very close connection and by whom he received various Sutra and secret Tantra transmissions, in Tibet as well as in India. Under tutorship of Song Rinpoché, Khen Rinpoché Tamding Gyatso realized his tantric training achieving numerous retreats of different meditational deities.
Khen Rinpoché Tamding Gyatso is spiritual guide of various centers in Spain since 1987. In 2001 his Holiness the Dalai Lama named him Abbot of the Ganden Shartse monastery in India and was enthroned as Kempo on December 15, 2001.
Geshe-La was already 4 years old and visited the Chinese local school, when his father was released from prison. His father who spent in total 7 years in prison was mistreated, his legs were crippled and he was not able to walk anymore. So he stayed at home, meanwhile his wife and his older three children worked on the fields. Tamding Sönam was a very scholarly man, he had high Buddhist knowledge because he and his brother, the well known Khem Rimpoche Geshe Tamding Gyatso grew up and was taught by their uncle who was a great realized Geshe Larampa named Kelsang Puntsok. Geshe Kelsang Puntsok studied in Je Tsongkhapas Mahayana monastic mother university Ganden in Tibet and completed his degree; as well he accomplished his teachings in the Gyuto Tantra Monastery. He became abbot of the local monastery Magön and was the root guru of Dagyab Rimpoche who now resides in Germany.
His father passed away, when Geshe Tenzing Tamding was only 11 years old. The teachings were so profound that they would influence his entire life. A few months after her husband's death, Geshe-la's mother decided to become a nun, hiding her habits in public.
Only 11 years old, Geshe-La deeply touched by his father's teachings and knowing that his uncle Khem Rimpoche was already in India, made the decision to go there and follow his footsteps. It was there that he decided that studying the dharma was really the most beneficial thing to do and set his mind on becoming a Geshe.
Together with a group of people he fled from the Himalayan Mountains to Nepal in 1977. After a trip of 2 months he arrived in India. It was a very dangerous trip where he gambled between life and death.
Once in Darjeeling where his uncle, a very recognized Geshe monk was teaching dharma in a Buddhist College, he had a very nice time, studying hard and serving his uncle. Happy that his young nephew wanted to follow in his footsteps his uncle took him to Bodhgaya to receive the monk's ordination by His Holiness The Dalai Lama. After taking the monk vows His Holiness gave Geshe Tenzing Tamding, who also spoke Chinese the permission to start his studies in the Institute of Buddhist Philosophy in Dharamsala. Entering in an advanced class after some effort, Geshe-La became the first in his class and finished the 10 year study program in only 5 years.
During this time Geshe-la translated His Holiness´teachings for Chinese disciples and taught dharma in Chinese to a Taiwanese Monk, a personal disciple of his Holiness.
As Geshe Tenzing was very keen on finishing his Geshe Degree, he applied to His Holiness The Dalai Lama to be enrolled in Ganden Monastery. In 1982 after passing all exams Geshe-la continued his studies in the Ganden Monastery and entered in the 10th class.
After 10 years in 1992 he finished his Geshe studies. Again it was His Holiness personally who gave him permission to promote for his Geshe Larampa degree immediately which he passed with excellence and became one of the youngest Geshe Larampa in the monastery.
In 1993 just after his examination His Holiness sent him to Taiwan where he assisted the Taiwanese Monk who meanwhile had built up many Centers and Monasteries in the world. Geshe Tenzing emphasis was the teachings of Lamrim to his peer and disciples. Geshe-La traveled and taught also in his Centers in Hong Kong and the United States of America.
This Taiwanese monk made very generous donations to the Ganden Shartse Monastery, to Ganden Tsok Chen and Ganden Nyagre Kangsten and as well to Sera and Drepung Monastery.
Geshe Tenzing was active in Taiwan, Singapore, Malaysia and mainly in California introducing dharma teachings. He founded Centers in Singapore and Malaysia and hosted high lamas like Lati Rimpoche and his guru Jampa Yeshe Rimpoche.
In 1995 Geshe Tenzing Tamding came first to Spain to visit his uncle Khem Rimpoche and teach in his Center in Menorca. In 1999 he made another trip and gave several courses in Spain, England and Germany.
In 2002 when his uncle Khem Rimpoche, the abbot of Ganden Monastery, passed away he went back to his monastery for one year to clear all his papers and help in the monastery's administration. His uncle appointed him as successor of the 5 Buddhist Centers in Spain, where Geshe Tenzing Tamding started his deed in 2003. Since then he built up 13 more Buddhist Centers and meditation groups in Spain. His main residence is in Menorca and he regularly visits all his Centers in Spain, Asia and America to introduce teachings, give private sessions and public talks.
In 2008 Geshe Tenzing started a 10 years teaching program in Spain which includes the authentic Sutra and Tantra teachings of the 5 major texts taught in the Ganden Monastery, this course includes as well the famous debate method, which most of his disciples perceive as essential to understand dharma. In the same year Geshe-La´s family, who now reside in California and one disciple from Taiwan made donations to acquire property in Galicia (Ourense). The rebuilding into a monastic retreat centre is in progress, a hands on job by Geshe-La and his devoted disciples. In August 2009 the first course took place in this place and more than 70 disciples participated.
Fulfilling his uncles Khem Rimpoche Tamding Gyatso´s wish, who he considers his rot guru, he also achieved to merge his 18 centers into federation which is called: "Federación budista Tibetana Thubten Thinley".
As well he accomplished the creation of the foundation "Cho Tsup Tsang", for the preservation of Tibetan culture, art and Buddhist religion. The main aim of this foundation is the recreation of the main Gelugpa monastic universities Ganden, Sera and Drepung as in Tibet and India for monks and nuns and as well a section for lay people, in Spain.

After the death of the second Tritul Rinpoche in Tibet in 1963, Nyari Khangtsen consulted his Holiness the Dalai Lama, the venerable Kyabye Triyang Rinpoché, the venerable Kyabye Zong Rinpoché and the oracles about the possible candidate of the reincarnation of Tritul Rinpoché.
In 1980 the current Nyari Tritul Rinpoché has been officially recognized as the third Tritul Rinpoché. Following custom he joined the monastery of Ganden Shartse in 1981 under tutorship of the former abbot of the Tantric Monastery Gyuto, the Ven. Nyari Gen Lobsang Tempa. He started with him the main monastic studies. The Oracle of the monastery recommended assigning Geshe Palior Tenzin, alias Ven. Tsonja as assistant, who took charge of the personal care of the young Rinpoché and worked as his personal assistant till his last breath.
In 1992 he was officially enthroned in Ganden Monastery with the same honors and rights as his Holiness Triyang Rinpoché (reincarnation of the young tutor of his Holiness the XIV Dalai Lama). Representatives of the Tibetan Government in exile, the official of the colony honored young Rinpoché with the traditional offering of Katas, followed by the abbots of the monastery and other high lamas and dignitaries. Rinpochés last tutor, the ex-abbot of Gyuto monastery, Lobsang Tempa felt very hopeful and sure about the young Rinpoché. There was not the slightest doubt on the lineage and authentity of the great XIC Tripa reincarnation.
Along with these he also served the monastery and local community in various ways. Elected to serve as Office Secretary of the monastery for many terms. Finally, in the year 1998, the governing board of the monastery unanimously selected him to be the General Secretary of the Education Development Project, an administrative section of the monastery, a post held until assigned to supervise missionary activities of the monastery in Taipei, Taiwan.
In 2000 he traveled to the U.S., Singapore, Taiwan, Indonesia and Malaysia as chief-interpreter and personal secretary to His Eminence Kyabje Lati Rinpoche. From the beginning of 2001 until early 2003 he taught and administered at Gaden Shartse Buddhist Institute in Taipei and learned Mandarin at Normal University, Taiwan. While in Taiwan he frequently visited Singapore to teach Buddhism to Singaporean students.
At the end of 2003, he volunteered to serve as translator once again for His Eminence Kyabje Lati Rinpoche, while Rinpoche was on a teaching tour in California. After Rinpoche's return back to India, along with Ven. Lobsang Tsultrim he traveled to many parts of USA to teach Buddhism and to do cultural exchange programs with American communities. It was very good and enriching experience to do the cultural exchange programs.
At the end of year 2004 he returned back to India to do prostration at Bodhgaya. After that in the year 2005 he sat for Grand Tantra Examination at Gyuto Tantric University and earned degree in Tantric studies. In the summer that year, he went to Spain and spent months teaching at Dharma Centers. Most of the year 2006 was spent in India as a pilgrim and later teaching at the monastery.
At the beginning of 2007, he traveled to Singapore and Indonesia to teach at Norbu Choling Centre and spent months over there. Many months of the later half of this year he spent at Gyuto Tantric University preparing for final traditional exam, which was complete by the end of November 2007.
In 2008, once again he came back to teach at Norbu Choling, Singapore and Indonesia and visited the Phende Lekshey Ling, Petaling Jaya Malaysia.
In 2009 he has been appointed as new abbot of Gaden Shartse Monastery.

Once again, the beauties of the Northern Lake Garda will provide the setting for the 2016 Giro del Trentino Melinda debut, with a spectacular team time trial named "Garda Trentino opening". And once again it's Riva del Garda to shoot the starting gun: cultural and touristic center, with a magnificent view over the Lake, Riva is practically home for Giro del Trentino Melinda and its organizing group, G.S. Alto Garda, whose base is in the near Arco. Giro del Trentino Melinda's organizer and founder, G.S. Alto Garda was born in the Garda Trentino, thanks to the effort and commitment by Guido Amistadi, Nerino and Lina Ioppi, and the collaboration by a big group of volunteers. They started the road of Giro del Trentino Melinda, which has eventually become an established international event, successful in its mission to promote the wonderful Trentino region, and one of the most loved and cherished by riders, cycling insiders and fans.
Just like Arco, Riva del Garda is part of the Alto Garda and Ledro community. Riva is a very popular holiday destination, thanks to its climate, beautiful nature and opportunities for active vacations and sports, either in water or in the surrounding territory and mountains. In addition to the iconic lake, the view from Riva del Garda is characterized by the Mount Rocchetta (1575 mt) and, eastbound, the peculiar shape of the Mount Baldo. Riva del Garda is the most southern point of the Province of Trento, and is located just between the Provinces of Verona (eastern side of the Lake Garda) and Brescia (western bank). Just nearby, in Torbole, the affluent Sarca river reaches the lake; 52 km southbound (the extension of the Lake Garda), in Peschiera, water outflows into the emissary Mincio river. Riva del Garda is also the point of division (or union) between different regions, with Veneto at East, Lombardia at West, and Trentino-Alto Adige in between. Other notable natural attractions in the Riva area are the Ledro and Tenno lakes and the Varone waterfalls.
The city was fortified by the Austrian empire, which is still visible from several details, and was a touristic destination already at the time of the Hapsburgs, attended by personalities like Franz Joseph of Austria, Franz Kafka and Thomas Mann. The most ancient part of the city also recalls Venetian atmospheres, with many villas and luxury dwellings with garden and parks. Hospitality is part of the DNA of the area, whose lake-related facilities include shores, a deck and several sailing clubs and activities. Riva del Garda also offers some intriguing food and wine popular, and it is constantly animated by a wealth of events throughout the year, including some famous music festivals. Piazza III Novembre, the heart of the city, a square just in front of the lake, is where the City Hall is located, inside the 1300 Council Palace, where Roman and Medieval headstones can be found, overlooked by the iconic Torre Apponale. The quadrilateral Rocca (fortress) is not far away, on the lake, with angolar towers: reconditioned, it's now the venue of the City Museum. The Baroque church of the "Inviolata" (1600) is also worth a visit.
Tourism is certainly the main economical asset for Riva del Garda, but manufactural activites but manufactural activities can't be underestimated too, in particular the paper industry.

|Single by Los del Río
|from the album A mí me gusta and Fiesta Macarena
|August 15, 1995 (U.S.)
|CD single, 7"
|Rogerio Rodrigues , Marcia Freitas Rodrigues
|4x Platinum (RIAA)
|Los del Río singles chronology
"Macarena" is a Spanish song by Los del Río about a woman of the same name. It was popular between 1995 and 1996, although it continues to have a cult following to this day.
The "Bayside Boys Mix" became the most well known version of the song, as it had English lyrics, sung by uncredited artist, Carla Vanessa. Often mistaken for the original female vocals, sung by Alaska.
The song's dance remains arguably the most popular out of any club single ever.
The song became the second longest running #1 and best selling debut single of all time in the U.S. It was ranked the "#1 Greatest One-Hit Wonder of all Time" by VH1 in 2002.
The song uses a type of clave. The song ranks at #5 on Billboard's All Time Top 100. It also ranks at #1 on Billboard's All Time Latin Songs.[1][2]
As a result of their lounge act, Los del Río were invited to tour South America in March 1992 and, while visiting Venezuela, they were invited to a private party held by the Venezuelan empresario (of Cuban descent) Gustavo Cisneros. Many prominent Venezuelans were in attendance that night, including former president Carlos Andrés Pérez.
Cisneros had arranged for a local flamenco teacher, Diana Patricia Cubillán Herrera, to do a small performance for the guests, and Los Del Rio were pleasantly surprised by Cubillán's dance skills. Spontaneously, Romero recited the song's chorus-to-be on the spot, as an accolade to Cubillán, but naming her "Ma'dalena" (Magdalena): "Dale a tu cuerpo alegría, Ma'dalena, que tu cuerpo e' pa' darle alegría y cosa' güena'" ("Give your body some joy, Magdalene, 'cause your body is for giving joy and good things too"). In Andalusian culture labeling a woman "Magdalena" is to give her a faint association with Mary Magdalene's reportedly seedy past, and more accurately describes her as being sassy or sensuous.[3]
Romero saw potential in the improvised rhyme and, back at their hotel, the duo came up with the basic structure of the song. Since "Magdalena" was also the title of another song by Spanish singer Emmanuel quite popular at the time, Romero suggested that they use "Macarena" instead which, besides being part of the name of one of his daughters, is a popular name in Andalusia, given its association with the Virgin of the Macarena, the incarnation of the Virgin Mary that is a patroness of Seville's barrio La Macarena. The Virgin-Magdalene dichotomy probably explains the rest of the lyrics: a song about a young woman, the girlfriend of a recent recruit to the Spanish Army named Victorino (whose name may be inspired from a kind of bull with long horns, evoking the cornudo, or male victim of his partner's infidelity, a mental image common in Spanish and Latin American culture), who celebrates his being drafted by hooking up with two of his male friends. Macarena has a weakness for males in uniform, spending summers at Marbella, and dreams of shopping at El Corte Inglés (the major Spanish department store chain), moving to New York City and getting a new boyfriend.
The song was originally recorded in 1992, and released in 1993 as a rumba. This was the first of six versions of the song that can be associated to Los Del Rio. Another version, a new flamenco rumba pop fusion theme with fully Spanish lyrics, attained significant success in Spain and Mexico. It also became popular in Puerto Rico because of its use as an unofficial campaign theme song for then-governor Pedro Rosselló, who was seeking reelection under the New Progressive Party of Puerto Rico's ticket. Being the base for many cruise ships, many visitors to the island were constantly exposed to the song during their stay in Puerto Rico. This may explain how the song spread to — and became a smash hit in — cities with sizable Latino communities in the United States, particularly Miami and New York City.
After being remixed by the Bayside Boys and having English lyrics added, it became a worldwide hit in mid-1996. The single spent 14 weeks at number one on the U.S. Billboard Hot 100 singles chart, one of the longest runs atop the Hot 100 chart in history. During its heyday, the song was played frequently at professional athletic games, rallies, conventions, and other places. In 1996, many believe a world record for group dancing was set, when a crowd of 50,000 people danced the Macarena in Yankee Stadium in New York City.[4] The song made such an impact that during the Democratic National Convention in 1996, Al Gore humorously performed his version of the Macarena by standing completely still while the song played.[4]
"Macarena" remained popular through 1996, but by the end of 1997, its popularity had diminished greatly. The song also broke records at the time by remaining in the Hot 100 chart for 60 weeks. The Bayside Boys remix includes a sample from Yazoo (also known in the United States as Yaz) track Situation - the laughter of Yazoo vocalist Alison Moyet. In Addition, the chorus utilized female vocal samples utilized by The Farm in their song "Higher and Higher (Remix)" from their album, Spartacus. The woman singer was hired by the Bayside Boys from their amateur radio station, although uncredited, she was the most important part of the promotion of the single remix, her name is Carla Vanessa.
In 1997, the song had sold 11 million copies. While having only a 25% take in royalties from the song, Romero and Ruiz became immensely wealthy. According to the BBC News Service, during the year 2003 alone — a full decade after the song's initial release — Romero and Ruiz made USD $250,000 in royalties. Julio Iglesias is quoted as congratulating the duo personally: "My success singing in English from Miami is nothing compared to yours; coming out of Dos Hermanas with little international exposure elsewhere and selling these many records in Spanish takes two huge sets of cojones."[5]
In VH1's 2002 documentary 100 Greatest One-hit Wonders, "Macarena" was ranked as #1. "Macarena" was also ranked #1 on a different VH1 documentary, 40 Awesomely Bad No. 1 Songs
On America's Best Dance Crew, it was danced to on the Whack Track Challenge, given to the Ringmasters.
In the United Kingdom the song was released in June 1996 and peaked at number two on August 17, 1996.[6] It was kept off the number one spot by the Spice Girls song "Wannabe".[7]
There are two different music videos. The most common music video, directed by Vincent Calvet, was created in 1996, featuring Los del Rio performing on a white backdrop. Ten women are also seen dancing with the band. This version samples a line from The Graduate ("I am not trying to seduce you!") which was later removed due to possible copyright issues. The other, similar version of the music video was in black and white and was more instructional in that the women and men are clearly shown performing the specific dance moves.

|Los del Río singles chronology
Due to the overwhelming success of the song, a Christmas version of the song was created for the 1996 Christmas Season. It involved the original song with short lines from classic Christmas carols (specifically incorporating: "Joy to the World," "Jingle Bells," "Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer," "White Christmas" and "Auld Lang Syne") in between the popular verses.
In the music video, the young female dancers wear Christmas colored attire but there are nine of them compared to the ten dancers in the original. For the sequence featuring a new routine (the one being commonly used today), eight of them are shown with one of them being switched with a ninth dancer at times throughout the chorus.[8]

The song was also covered by Los del Mar (feat. Pedro Castaño), which was first released in 1995 and then again at the same time as the original in the United Kingdom and Australia in the hope of fooling people into buying their version by mistake, which could easily happen because the versions were very similar, thus difficult to distinguish. In the UK it only reached #43 in the charts (but remained charted for almost two months); however, the Los del Rio version peaked at number two. In Australia, the Los del Mar version was more successful and peaked at number two whilst the Los del Rio version was still at number one. In Canada, the Los del Mar version was quite popular on MuchMusic and top 40 radio in the spring of 1995, eclipsing the later popularity of the original.

|Me and one of my old residents, Lindsay-
we were invited to her wedding!
By the end of my first year, I was in a better place and was even looking forward to coming back in the fall. So what happened? I got involved with activities, started seeing the opportunities that awaited me as I put my time in on the newspaper and at the Writing Center... and I became an R.A.
It is one of my core truths that helping someone through a difficult situation allows me to get through the very same scenario. One of the ways I felt socially fine with not joining a sorority and getting wasted all the time was by reassuring other new freshmen that there was more to life than sororities! My room became the safe haven of 32 girls (and a whole bunch of dudes from down the hall) and my life at college was so fulfilling. My role was to coach, to cheer up, to mentor... and I absolutely loved it.
Tonight at dinner I told Chris that I would love to one day host a "young superstars" dinner at our place. We'd invite a bunch of the amazing younger people we've come to know throughout our lives, cook them an amazing dinner and let them get to know each other. Providing social opportunities for people to gather is something that's really important to me - because I really value the random meetings that happen when wonderful people converge.
On that note, we started talking about people who were our mentors. "How amazing would it be to each pick three people who have had huge impressions on us and fly them to our house one day for dinner?" I asked. We talked about who we'd pick and shared stories about how these mentors inspired us and got us through difficult moments.
This is the beauty of being 30 years old. I simultaneously know older people who influence and inspire me on a daily basis and younger people who I can help to inspire. I'm here, right in the middle, tucked in amongst people who would make distinguished dinner guests.
I don't know how it could be possible, but I'd love to make this happen someday.

House update 2
...and this is the second set, fully up-to-date. Some of the pics we took are intended to give us at least some idea of where wiring is, should we ever need to go back in to the walls :-).
I am finding it amazing how much my perception of the house changes at the various stages; the drywall especially is really altering how I see room sizes. Which is fun but scary: worry about whether we're going to aim up where we were aiming! I'm sure that it will be fine, and Jenny has been through this before!
We have a basement floor now, and it begins to feel like a house. Good!

Why is it, that despite the thousands of genomes that have been sequenced, we cannot account for the heritability of most common traits and disease? Is it because many genes are involved? (Probably) or could there also be rules and genetic mechanisms that are still left to be discovered? (A much more intriguing possibility!)
It is currently unknown whether, how, and to what extent, heritable epigenetic information, and particularly heritable information that is carried by small RNAs, affects the inheritance of complex traits. We investigate mechanisms that enable epigenetic inheritance and soma-to-germline transmission of information.
Heritable information presents a unique opportunity for studying memory since it resides in specific cells (sperm or oocytes), and is amenable for biochemical characterization (e.g. sequencing). For example, we showed that memory of the parents' dietary state can be recovered by sequencing starvation-responsive small RNAs that transmit to the children (and grand grandchildren), and regulate their gene expression. In addition, we discovered that inheritance of small RNAs obeys a set of rules, which are different but analogous to the rules that govern inheritance of DNA (Mendelian inheritance).
We focus our studies mostly, but not exclusively, on C.elegans nematodes, wonderful creatures that we find irresistible. C.elegans has a super-short generation time of just 3 days, and its nervous system is composed of just 302 neurons (and the entire "connectome" is mapped). These properties, combined with awesome genetic tools and unparalleled ease of cultivation, make the worm the ideal model organism for studying memory, and in particular heritable memory. Nevertheless, we are aware that other organisms have feelings too, and therefore try to make our studies as relevant as possible, so no one is offended.

Non-Mendelian genetics & Transgenerational epigenetic inheritance
Revolutionary discoveries in molecular biology, published in recent years, are making the once heretic idea of inheritance of acquired traits relevant again. Parental experiences, at least in worms, can affect the progeny's physiology, sometimes permanently, or at least for multiple generations. In C.elegans, the mechanisms are being revealed, and the rate of progress is truly exciting. We are interested in inheritance of small RNAs, molecules that are actively shuttled between different tissues, and from the soma to the germline. We discovered that small RNAs are transcribed in response to different environmental stresses (Cell 2011, Cell 2014). We showed for the first time that heritable small RNAs are not diluted, since RNA-dependent RNA polymerases amplify the response in the progeny, in every generation (Cell 2011). Moreover, we recently discovered that a systemic feed back mechanism determines whether to "memorize the epigenetic response" (continue and transmit the ancestral information to additional generations), or whether to terminate the response, "forget" the memory, and rely once again on the hardwired genetic program (Cell 2016, Current biology 2017).
We were the first to show (Genes & Development, 2009) that functional small RNAs can move between interacting human cells (through the immunological synapse). We are motivated to discover whether the principles that govern epigenetic inheritance in C.elegans hold true also to mammals.
Molecular mechanisms for encoding of memory
We are interested in how information is represented in the nervous system, and how "the code" is implemented to produce behavior. In the broadest sense of the word, memory is what enables altering of future responses based on history. Many types of molecular mechanisms can retain memories in biological systems, for example, metabolic differences, epigenetic factors, stable bioelectrical circuit modes, or neuronal-circuits. We are studying how C.elegans, Planaria, and songbirds encode different types of memories. We are collaborating with computational neuroscientists, economists and linguists, trying to bridge the gaps between the type of neuroscience that is typically conducted by cognitive scientists, and the type of neuroscience that is typically studied by molecular biologists and geneticists. Specifically in C.elegans, since neuronal connectivity is largely hardwired and innate, it is very tempting to speculate that learning and memory are achieved by epigenetic mechanisms (or in the broad sense, mechanisms of gene regulation).
Evolution depends on variability and selection (and drift) . According to the classic interpretation of the "Modern synthesis" between Mendel, Darwin and the principles of population genetics, the environment enforces selection, but doesn't affect variability. However, numerous epigenetic mechanisms that enable the environment to affect heritable variations are now known. We are studying whether and how epigenetic information can establish transient and stable variations, and as a consequence alter the rates of evolutionary processes. Moreover, since epigenetic effects can in theory allow adaptive changes in progeny, in response to parental reactions to environmental challenges, epigenetic inheritance has the potential ability to direct evolution's path. To study these questions we are performing lab evolution experiments in a number of different model organisms, and record evolutionary processes as they take place.
We try very hard to let our curiosity guide us, and when the muse calls, we don't get in its way. Because of that, we find ourselves studying many diverge subjects, including the mechanisms that allow toxoplasma parasites to control its host, translational read through, Pol III regulatory mechanisms, Ancient DNA, Fertility, Helmet formation in Daphnia, genome rearrangement in ciliates, polyploidy, development of new optogeneic tools,machine learning algorithms for automated phenotyping and decision making.

Top tips to boost your mood this summer
Summer is the ideal time of year for you to begin to make the most of the season, improve your energy levels and boost your mood. Not only will the better weather make you feel more inclined to get up and active, but you may also want to make improved food and diet choices thanks to the variety of seasonal fruit and vegetables on offer. If you are keen to improve your overall health and make a few changes to help your body become leaner and more toned, then you will need to get a plan ready from now. From improving your mental health to slimming down, set yourself a goal, and you will soon feel rejuvenated and re-energized.
Kick bad habits
If you are keen to boost your mood, then it is vital that you first review your current diet and lifestyle habits that are dragging you down. If you are a smoker or enjoy too many sweet treats, then it is up to you to have the willpower to begin to make a change for the better. If you are looking to rehaul your diet, then try writing a food diary so that you can keep track of everything you eat and drink. You will quickly notice any bad habits after a few weeks of journaling, so it is up to you to begin to make changes that will benefit you in the long term. If you are a self-confessed caffeine addict, then try cutting down gradually, or opt for a fresh juice or herbal tea instead of your usual calorie-laden Starbucks. Remember, that there are lots of hidden calories in your usual cream and syrup-laden coffee, plus all the sugar will cause your blood sugar levels to spike and drop suddenly. Begin to kick those bad habits, and you will feel lighter, less bloated and full of energy.
Summer diet
Summer is the perfect time of year to begin to review your diet and cook up a delicious seasonal storm in the kitchen. Make sure that you begin by getting rid of any unhealthy temptations that you have in your cupboards and clear out your refrigerator to make way for fresh and seasonal fruits and vegetables. If you are looking to lose weight and slim down, then replace heavy red meats and dishes that are covered in butter or sauce, with grilled or oven cooked options. Try reducing the amount of meat that you eat on a weekly basis and be sure to experiment with light and seasonal vegetarian eats. There is no reason why you cannot enjoy the odd sweet treat or cocktail, but opt for options that are fruit based with less alcohol, and choose sorbet for dessert over ice cream and rich puddings. Summer is the perfect time to rethink your food and drink choices, helping you to boost your mood and even lose a few pounds at the same time without much effort.
Get outdoors
If you are looking to feel refreshed and relax this summer, then get outside and make the most of the improved climate and warm weather. If you are trying to shape up your exercise routine, then you can get out and about in your local, national park and try hiking or cycling with your family and friends. If you enjoy working out in the gym, then take it outdoors and make the most of the natural beauty spots that you have close to your home. If you are looking to improve your mood, then you may also want to take time to relax and unwind with a picnic in your local nature reserve, or even meet friends for a tea or coffee at your local coffee shop. If you are looking to make a few changes that will help improve your energy levels, then you need not spend a fortune. Be sure to get outdoors and enjoy the best of the season.
Relax and unwind
If you are trying to improve your mindset, and are currently feeling flustered and overwhelmed, then you should also schedule in time to relax and unwind so that you can boost your mental health too. If you are currently struggling to slow down, then consider taking a digital detox and leave your smartphone and any technology to one side. Make sure that you get enough sleep, and try to get at least eight hours of shuteye so that you feel less cranky and upset. If you are still feeling stressed, then you could also explore using aromatherapy and essential oils to help you to manage your mood. You could also try using marijuana in controlled quantities to help you to chill out; check out sites such as Dope Mail. It could be just as simple as running a hot bath or having an evening at home with your family and friends. Explore which options work best for you, and you will feel ready and filled with energy to take on the best of the summer.
Summer is the perfect time of year to get your health and wellness back on track. Make sure that you keep a diary of any bad habits that you currently have that are making you feel less motivated and affecting your current mood. Try cutting down on the amount of sugar, salt, and caffeine that you are currently consuming. Get back in the kitchen and be sure to get your entire family involved and interested in cooking up some delicious seasonal summer recipes that you can enjoy. While, if you are keen to make the most of the summer weather, then get outdoors to boost your mood and get back in shape. You should also be sure to take time to relax and unwind if you are feeling very stressed as this will help you to manage your anxiety levels and work on your mental health also. If you are keen to improve your energy and make positive mood-boosting changes, then be sure to use this summer to make a change for the better.
