If you ask Jomi Marcus-Bello, the 29-year-old founder of Wafflesncream, about the Nigerian skate brand's new capsule collection, African Love, he will regale you with a set of seemingly disparate tales. He might begin with his skate tour last summer, when he noticed couples everywhere from Benin to Ghana in coordinated outfits, a sign, he says, of mutual appreciation. Or he might start with the photo he saw of a couple who bought Wafflesncream apparel and had a photo shoot outside of the store. Following that, he might talk about love in Lagos, Nigeria, and how a Valentine's date is cause for both celebration and early dismissal from work. "A lot of people will ask why a skateboarding brand that's grungy would all of a sudden do something on love," he says. "Love is no small thing here—love is like Christmas."
However, if you listen to these stories carefully, the purpose of Wafflesncream's capsule collection (launching this February 14 just in time for Valentine's Day) becomes obvious. It isn't about novelty or the exposition of an enduring culture—something Marcus-Bello has, to some extent, already achieved, with Wafflesncream sitting at the forefront of West Africa's flourishing street-skate fashion scene. Instead, it's a tribute to a people—both in Nigeria and across the continent more generally—whose love doesn't often get mainstream celebration. "A lot of people have never been to the West, but they know what Western love feels like," Marcus-Bello says. "I feel like a lot of Africans try to mimic that and the love that happens here doesn't translate to popular culture."
At the center of African Love is the aso ebi, Yoruba for "family cloth," that Marcus-Bello and his friend Fadekemi Ogunsanya, a 24-year-old artist and architecture student in London, designed. In most West African countries, major life events, such as a wedding or a birthday party, call for guests to buy an aso ebi—akin to a dress code or uniform in the West, usually chosen by the host—to tailor into a custom outfit. To show up in attire that is at once an expression of individuality and a demonstration of solidarity is an act of love.
Ogunsanya came up with the design—which is a black and white photograph of a couple, bordered by a stamp from colonial Nigeria—after she stumbled upon images by Malick Sidibé and Seydou Keïta, the celebrated Malian photographers. She was particularly enamored with how they captured subtle displays of subtle affection between couples. "It's really not something that you see; we don't do that kind of PDA," Ogunsanya adds. Marcus-Bello and Ogunsanya chose the brand's tailors to model it as a couple and asked Logo Oluwamuyiwa, a Nigerian photographer known for his monochromatic images of the streets of Lagos, to shoot them. Stephen Tayo, the Lagos stylist and photographer, shot the brand's campaign. "I wanted everything in it to be timeless," Ogunsanya says. "That's why everything is black and white; there is no way you can pin it to a specific time and a specific trend."

NFL News and Rumors: Kickers are people too; unless they miss
NFL through week 7
Week 7 presented more and more NFL news with kickers missing chip shots, quarterbacks getting benched, and a rookie quarterback continually proving he is up there with the great's.
Scroll through to find the latest NFL news through week 7 of NFL action:
- Extra points not so automatic
- Blake Bortles on the hot seat?
- Super Cam showing up late to the party
- Chiefs offense putting up video game numbers
- Where is Le'Veon Bell?
Kicked to the curb
Seems like with each week, each kick, a kicker is on the hot seat. The Cleveland Browns proved that back in September when they released kicker Zane Gonzales after missing four field goals vs. the New Orleans Saints. The Minnesota Vikings also had their woes with kicker Daniel Carlson who missed three, two of which in overtime.
Ever since the NFL moved the extra point yardage back 33 yards, extra points don't seem so automatic anymore and fans have their hearts racing until they see the ball go through the uprights.
Well, it happened again last night. It was a cool, slightly breezy night in Baltimore when quarterback Joe Flacco marched his team down the field late in the fourth quarter vs. Drew Brees and the New Orleans Saints. With :24 seconds left in the game, Flacco hit a wide open John Brown for a 14-yard touchdown reception. And for a moment, it looked like this game was headed into overtime. But just like that, and jaws on the floor, the ever-stable veteran kicker Justin Tucker misses the extra point. Saints win 24-23.
Now, rumors of Tucker's job on the hot seat haven't surfaced, but with the way the league and owners are handling kickers and missing field goals, one can question a kickers job status after any kick.
The heat is rising in Jacksonville
When you think of an NFL quarterback who has had an up-and-down career, do you think of anyone else more so than Jacksonville Jaguars QB Blake Bortles? Having a standout career at University of Central Florida, to a shaky start for the Jaguars, and then to an AFC championship, this has been quite the roller coaster ride.
The ride continued last Sunday vs. the Houston Texans. Bortles committed two first half fumbles and was benched in the second half.
His backup is Cody Kessler, a University of Southern California QB selected by the Browns in 2016 and was in Cleveland for two seasons before coming to Jacksonville. Kessler finished the game recording 21-for-30 for 156 yards and one touchdown in the Jaguars' 20-7 loss at home.
No news from Jacksonville yet on whether Bortles or Kessler will start next Sunday. Bortles recently signed a three-year extension back in February to stay in Jacksonville in 2019.
Jacksonville drops to 3-4 and will host the reigning Super Bowl Champ Philadelphia Eagles (3-4) next Sunday in London, UK.
Super Cam saves the day
Better late than never, right? What was a frustrating three quarters for the Carolina Panthers on Sunday vs. the defending Super Bowl Champ Philadelphia Eagles, turned into quite a performance by Panthers QB Cam Newton.
Down 17-0 heading at the start of the fourth quarter was the moment when football fans, fantasy owners, and the Carolina fanbase needed a super hero to turn this game around. Cam Newton, aka Superman, rose to the challenge. In the fourth quarter, Cam hit WR Curtis Samuel on a 14-yard reverse for a touchdown, threw 16-for-22 for 201 yards, and threw for two touchdowns (Devin Funchess and Greg Olsen).
Panthers win, 21-17.
After a disappointing loss last week to rival Washington, Newton assured fans that this week would be different. Following the game, Newton said, "I took last week's loss [at Washington] personal. I could have been better last week. We were in the same situation today and I didn't want to let anyone down. I wanted to hold up my end."
Carolina (4-2) hosts the red-hot Baltimore Ravens (4-3) next Sunday at 10 AM (PT).
Can anyone slow down the Chiefs' offense?
Patrick Mahomes has weapons to throw to, and he is doing just that. Through eight games, he has thrown 22 touchdown passes, breaking the NFL record previously set by Kurt Warner.
Kansas City is in a good spot. A young, rookie quarterback who is continually proving himself with each passing game and leading the league in passing yards (2.223); one of the fastest wide receiver and a Fantasy Football owners dream in Tyreek Hill (fourth in the league in receiving yards at 635); a strong run-game lead by Kareem Hunt (who is third in the league in rushing yards with 542). That's three top-5 offensive weapons causing opposing defenses a lot of trouble.
Last night was another example of "How to Offense: 101." Mahomes threw for 358 yards on 28-for-39 and four touchdowns for 45 points on the Cincinnati Bengals. The defense also stepped up only allowing 10 points.
Kansas City moves to 6-1 and will host the Denver Broncos (3-4) next Sunday at 10 AM (PT).
Check out Mahomes' season stats HERE.
Where is Le'Veon Bell?
Wasn't he supposed to show up during Pittsburgh's BYE week? Well, that came and went and running back Le'Veon Bell is still no where to be seen.
LG Ramon Foster says, "I haven't talked to him, nobody has. We're in a wait-and-see situation like you guys."
According to Darin Gantt for NBC Sports, "At this point, it's unclear when he'll be back. We're sort of assuming it's not "if" he returns, because his goal is to get to free agency, and he needs to accrue a season to do that. That means showing up soon."
"Soon" is such a tough word. Depending on the person, soon can mean you are just looking for parking as you are meeting a friend at Starbucks or soon can mean you haven't even left your house yet. Nevertheless, Bell plans on returning "soon" but soon can't come soon enough with the Pittsburgh Steelers (3-2-1) hosting division rival Cleveland Browns (2-4-1) next Sunday at 10 AM (PT).
The Steelers are currently leading the AFC North due to only two division losses and one tie, however, a loss on Sunday could drop them down to third putting Cincinnati and Baltimore above them.

text: Mark Kenyon - February 09, 2014 The Whitetail Addict's Guide to Hunting Extreme Weather Most times when we whitetail addicts dream of hunting season, we picture a crisp cool morning and a sparkling autumn sunrise. Shortly thereafter, a mammoth, tall-tined buck approaches with the sun reflecting off his ivory rack, with a light breeze at his back.Unfortunately, these perfect days aren't all that common in the whitetail woods. A more realistic dream might look like this instead: You frantically try to stop your hands from shaking as you wipe away the rain from your eyes with your half frozen fingers, and then struggle to draw back on the buck that has miraculously appeared from the near horizontal sheets of sleet that hammer around you.When chasing mature whitetails for weeks on end, you're bound to encounter some extreme weather such as this. But don't let that keep you inside. Although tough to endure, it can sometimes be the most extreme weather that gets the biggest bucks on their feet.Whether you're facing extreme heat, cold, wind, rain or snow, these are the strategies you need to stay in the tree and get your big buck on the ground. Extreme Heat Extreme heat can be one of the toughest weather conditions to hunt in, but success can still be had. I like to think every situation has a silver lining, and the benefit of extreme heat is that it affects whitetails in a very consistent way: It makes them thirsty. In my opinion, the key to hot weather hunting is focusing your attention on this crucial factor.When hunting in extreme heat, one of the best tactics can be to set up on a water source close to bedding cover. If you can access an area like this — with wind blowing away from the bedding — there is a great chance that you'll catch deer visiting this water source at any time of day.While water is an important ingredient, proximity to bedding is almost as crucial. During hot weather spells, deer will travel as little as possible because of the discomfort they feel during above average temperatures. Given that fact, it's the close to home water that deer will visit the most.As important as it is to be in the right spot during hot weather, it's also important just to endure a sit in that heat at all. To do that, you need to be dressed properly, and use a few helpful pieces of equipment to make the most of your time. Lightweight, highly breathable clothing is a must because you want to minimize the amount of sweat your body produces as much as possible. That said, you're still bound to sweat some, and this increased odor can put you in a tough spot.To help overcome this issue, I'd recommend keeping a bottle of scent eliminating spray handy for frequent use. On top of that, an Ozonics unit can be used to emit scent eliminating ozone, destroying most of the problem all-together.Another common issue while hunting in hot weather is the presence of mosquitos...and lots of them! There's no better trick up my sleeve for mosquitos than a Thermacell unit. This small device burns a nearly scentless repellant that keeps mosquitos far away. Trust me, it's worth its weight in gold. Extreme WindHunting on the most blustery of days can test the fortitude of any hunter, and many times it's a test of patience and perseverance. High wind hunting can be some of the slowest hunting to be found, but sometimes it is worth braving.High wind often subdue deer movement because it impairs a whitetail's senses. Swaying branches and grass make it difficult for deer to spot danger with their eyes, and gusting wind makes it difficult for them to hear approaching threats as well. Because of this, deer will often stay bedded during the heaviest of winds, or only travel in areas that are somewhat sheltered from the gale.This is where a smart hunter can still find success hunting in high winds. Seek out areas that are out of the wind — such as secluded draws or valleys — and you may just find your windy day sweet spot. Also, keep in mind that right after a heavy wind dies down, deer will really start to move. So make sure you're out there to catch that increased activity when it happens.When hunting on the windiest of days, it's important to make sure you take proper precautions. Make sure that any tree you're hunting from is plenty sturdy and unlikely to be affected by high winds. Secondly, by all means, please make sure you are strapped in with a safety harness. These should be used at all times, but the need is even greater during extreme winds.Extreme RainI can't tell you how many times I've heard people ask the question, "Should I hunt in the rain?" While it may not be the answer many people want to hear, my answer is almost always "yes."While hunting in the rain can be a wet and miserable endeavor, it can also result in some of the best hunting all year. Extreme rain conditions may temper deer movement in the short term, but as soon as it lightens up or ends, deer will likely be on the move.In light to medium rain, you can enjoy some of the most activity by mature bucks that you'll see all year. For some reason, it many mature whitetails feel more comfortable moving during rainy days. Some hypothesize it's due to the fact that there's less hunting pressure at these times, while others suggest the rain heightens whitetail senses. Either way, if you can manage to endure the elements, you can put yourself in a great position for a kill.That said, you do need to keep a few unique things in mind when hunting during heavy rain conditions.First and foremost, you have to consider the implications of rain on a potential blood trail. Rain will many times wash away your blood trail to some extent. That's why I always try to adjust my shot selection when hunting in the rain.In rainy conditions, only close-range, near-perfect shots should be attempted, as you can't risk sub-par shot placement. If a buck travels far after being shot, you're going to have a very hard time recovering him.Secondly, given the fact that heavy rain will quickly wash away a blood trail, I like to give deer extra time before tracking. I'd rather let that deer lie — hopefully nearby — than bump it and have it run a country mile with no blood trail at all.Blood trailing aside, when hunting in heavy rain you also need to be properly prepared with the right gear. Of course waterproof clothing is a must, and I highly recommend spending the extra money to get a quality set of rain gear.When choosing a rain suit, look for something that is quiet, easy to pack and well constructed. Many cheap rain suits are easily punctured, and a rain jacket with a hole in it doesn't do any good.In addition to rain gear, if you plan on hunting in the rain often, you may want to consider a tree umbrella. These can be screwed into the tree above you and they'll greatly improve your day. Extreme ColdHunting in the extreme cold can be an exercise in misery, a test of fortitude and just plain painful. But it can also be the ticket to killing a trophy buck. While sometimes difficult to endure, super cold weather consistently makes for good whitetail action.When the temperatures dip well below average, whitetails are driven to move and feed in an effort to pack on carbohydrates and maintain some body temperature. Even mature bucks can be found on their feet during daylight on these frigid days.The key to hunting on these ice cold days is often to find the food source of choice. Typically deer will flock to high carb foods at this time because carbs provide the energy deer need to beat the cold.Corn or soybean fields will be hot spots anytime the temperatures reach down into the "bone-chilling" range. When hunting these food sources, keep in mind that evening hunts will be your best bet, as you'll be able to access your stand with less chance of spooking feeding deer.On top of that, later in the season when most arctic weather hits, deer are more active in the slightly warmer afternoons. Getting into your stand is only half the battle, though. Make sure to plan for a safe exit, to ensure you don't bump all the deer off the food source on your way out in the evening.In order to endure these Siberian evenings on stand, you of course need to properly layer and insulate yourself with high-quality clothing. But on top of that, there are three tricks I like to use that help me stick it out on the coldest days.First, I always like to have a hand muff of some kind with a couple hand warmers tucked inside. Your hands will typically be the first body part to get painfully cold, and having a cozy warm retreat for them can make your hunt dramatically less miserable.Secondly, on the coldest of days I will actually duct tape disposable hand warmers to my inner layer. Typically I'll tape one to my neck, my chest and my stomach. It's amazing how much this extra heat can improve your mood.Last, I always keep a steady flow of snacks hitting my mouth. Just like deer need energy during the cold, so do you. Eating high calorie items will give your body more energy to burn, resulting in a warmer you. Think of your body like an old furnace and the snickers bar as the coal.Extreme SnowChasing whitetails in extremely snowy conditions can be very similar to that of hunting during the extreme cold. Heavy snow will definitely get deer on their feet, but typically this is after the snow has fallen, not during. In the midst of a blizzard deer will most often stay bedded down. But during light to medium snow showers, or just after a blizzard passes, whitetails can be very active.If deer have been hunkered down during a storm for an extended amount of time, the flurry of movement after the weather passes can be terrific. On top of that, if the amount of accumulated snow is significant, deer will begin moving with even more urgency.In heavy snow, deer will most often seek out food with vigor because it becomes much more difficult for them to find vittles now that snow is covering most he ground. At these times, similar to extremely cold situations, you'll want to key in on the highest quality food sources you can find. Corn, beans and food plots with rape, kale or turnips can be absolutely dynamite.Whether it be frozen tundra temperatures or rainstorms of biblical proportions, don't let extreme weather keep you out of the whitetail game. While at first glance it may not seem like it, sometimes it's these extreme days that make for monster buck dreams come true.Mark Kenyon runs Wired To Hunt, one of the top deer hunting resources online, featuring daily deer hunting news, stories and strategies for the whitetail addict. ScentBlocker Alpha If staying warm in extreme cold temperatures means anything to you, you're gonna want to check out the ScentBlocker Alpha jacket and pants. Featuring ScentBlocker's new Trinity Technology and Micro Soft fleece, the Alpha outfit not only keeps you warm, it also helps you control your scent. The Alpha jacket features easy-access chest pockets for your phone or rangefinder, and zippered cargo pockets allow you to conveniently store extra rounds, a knife or spare hand warmers. Both pants and jacket are sized so you can pile on as many baselayers as you need, and the pant legs are roomy enough to zip up over your boots. The jacket features a fully adjustable hood, allowing you to hunker down and yet still retain full range of motion. Price: $260 (jacket), 230 (pant) Grow a BeardWhile there have been many clever inventions and pieces of gear to protect your face, there's simply nothing more useful — and ruggedly manly — than a beard. When it's -10 and the wind is beating against your face, nothing does the trick quite like a hairy mane. Other practical uses: you rarely ever have to show ID (people assume you're a man when you look the part); the beard is a great place to store a nugget or two of food for that in-between-meals snack; the beard collects freezing moisture in extreme cold, which makes you look like a viking warrior; and finally, the beard cleans up nicely for that rarefied, Robert E. Lee gentleman look which the ladies adore. Price:You can't put a price on manliness. ThermalCore Base LayersThe ThermalCore Base Layer System is another great way to stay warm when temperatures drop. The system includes a form-fitted set of long underwear with pockets for heated packs that attach to a lithium battery. The battery pack has three heat settings and lasts several hours, depending on use and conditions. By concentrating heat in key areas in the lower back and front of the thighs, the ThermalCore system uses therapeutic heat to warm your body. The result? You stay warm and comfortable even though extreme cold strikes. Price: $250Scent Killer GoldWhen dealing with extreme heat, it's a necessity to think about scent control. The science is simple: The hotter it gets, the more you sweat; the more you sweat, the more you produce body odor. A great way to deal with the increase in odor is to keep a bottle of Scent Killer Gold with you in the stand and spray yourself down regularly. Adapted from the original formula, Scent Killer Gold dries quicker and is more concentrated, which makes it better in a real-world environment. Working similar to other sprays, Scent Killer Gold eliminates and prevents odors. Traditional Scent Killer is still available in a wide array of products, while the Gold comes in a odorless spray, autumn formula spray, clothing wash, body wash/shampoo and bar soap. Price: $15Ozonics HR-200 When it's hot and your body is working overtime to keep you cool, you're also producing what we scientific folks like to call "body odor." In layman's terms, you stink, and deer — much like your wife or girlfriend — don't like that. Ozonics can help. It is truly a one of a kind scent-eliminating product. Mounting to a tree or blind, the Ozonics HR-200 is an ozone-generating machine. Traditional oxygen (O2) is different at the molecular level than ozone (O3). By converting oxygen into ozone, the Ozonics machine uses a silent fan to blow the ozone down, blanketing hunters with the unstable molecules. The highly active ozone molecules bond with human odor molecules, rendering them useless and scent free. The nearby game animals will be in the 'scent zone, ' while the odorless ozone/human odor molecules will harmlessly float away. Price: $400Heater Body Suit When you're combating extreme cold weather, you really have to utilize a multi-faceted strategy for staying warm. That said, not many techniques or pieces of gear make as big a difference as the Heater Body Suit. The Heater Body Suit is essentially a giant, body-shaped sleeping bag that's built tough enough for the exploits of a hunter. By promoting warm air circulation around your body, the suit uses your own body heat to keep you nice and toasty. It's also designed so you can get in and out of it in a hurry, which is a good thing when you're in a treestand or blind and the buck of your dreams comes strolling along. The Heater Body Suit is windproof and water resistant, features 300 grams of 3M Thinsulate Ultra insulation and weighs between 6 and 7 pounds. Try it once in extreme cold and you'll be a believer for life. Price: $350HotHands Hand Warmers HotHands hand warmers may be one of the older tricks in the book, but when the temperatures drop they're worth their weight in gold. Mark Kenyon recommends duct taping them to different parts of your body for added warmth. Price: $27 (40 hand warmers) Kryptek Poseidon Rain GearWhen you're dealing with extreme rain, you obviously need to think about a quality set of rain gear. Not only do you need rain gear that keeps you dry, you also need it to be as quiet as possible. A new player in the market, Kryptek's slogan is 'Battlefield to Backcountry, ' which makes sense. The company was founded by a pair of military vets and hunters with the goal of offering top-notch outdoor gear at affordable prices. Not only is Kryptek's rain gear well-suited for a backcountry jaunt or the treestand, it is also relatively easy on the pocketbook. Price: $400Danner Pronghorn SocksMerino wool and synthetic acrylic are popular fibers for fighting off the chill. Danner's Pronghorn line of premium hunting socks features a 70 percent blend of the two into a product that both battles low temperatures and breathes well enough to reduce overheating when you're on the move. Stress points are reinforced with nylon for extra durability. Price: $16ThermaCELL Mosquito Repellent ThermaCELL Mosquito Repellent is one of the few truly hunt-changing products on the market these days. Newer innovations are simply tweaks or niche satisfying changes to already existing products, but ThermaCELL remains ahead of the curve. This is by far the best way to deal with mosquitoes. Price: $32Muck Woody Elite When the temperature drops, the first victims are your feet and hands. As blood flow is directed to protect your vital organs, these poor guys turn to ice pops. That means you need to protect your feet if you want to stay comfortable in the stand. Combined with a trusty pair of wool socks, Muck Woody Elite hunting boots are a great way to keep your feet warm. Fleece-lined and foam-insulated, the Woody Elite boots are fully capable of protecting your feet in extreme cold. The boots are rated to -40 degrees, which should just about do it for most hunters out there. Price: $220Zippo Hand Warmer Zippo has been around for a long time and is well known for producing lighters, but the company also has a hand warmer on the market that works just as well. It's pretty simple how it works: a tank with fabric holds Zippo lighter fluid in the base of the device, an ignitable burner snaps into place on top of that, and a vented cover goes over the burner. When it's all said and done, you've got a simple-to-use, refillable hand warmer that produces heat for up to 12 hours. It does take a bit of finessing to light the burner for the first time, but once you get the hang of it, the Zippo hand warmer works great. Pair the hand warmer with the Heater Body Suit and you've got a cozy little reprieve from the harshest conditions. Price: $20 GET THE NEWSLETTER Join the List and Never Miss a Thing. Sign Me Up

Parks & Outdoor Activities – Looking for outdoor activities? Head over to Forest Park. The large park is actually one of the largest in the country. It is near 500 acres larger than NYC's Central Park. Forest Park has countless things to do and attractions to visit, such as the St. Louis Zoo, jogging trails, tennis, golf courses, concerts, and much more. The park also has waterways on which you can drive your boat. Another outdoor place to visit is the Missouri Botanical Garden. A unique thing about this botanical garden in particular is that kids really love it. The botanical garden contains a children's garden, which kids love. It features a limestone cave, a treehouse, a slide, and more. Other things to do in the garden include feeding the koi fish in the Japanese Garden, admiring the sculptures made of Chihuly glass, and even enjoying a picnic on the grounds.
Zoos & Aquariums - Situated within Forest Park, the St. Louis Zoo is one of the most popular attractions in the Missouri city. At the zoo, you can find a variety of animals, from tigers, lions, and bears to sloths, penguins, and more. Although the animal exhibits are quite popular, what makes the St. Louis Zoo so popular is the price. Well…there isn't a price. Admission is FREE!
Other Points of Interest – Another great place to visit is the Cathedral Basilica of St. Louis. The Cathedral Basilica of St. Louis is a neo-Byzantine Roman Catholic cathedral which was completed in the early 20th century. The cathedral is known for its large mosaic collections you can find on its walls and ceilings. Almost 42 million small, glass blocks make up the installation, which puts it among the largest in the world. People come here not only for Mass, but to also admire the beauty of the cathedral.

Background: Spironucleus salmonicida is an anaerobic parasite that can cause systemic infections in Atlantic salmon. Unlike other diplomonad parasites, such as the human pathogen Giardia intestinalis, Spironucleus species can infiltrate the blood stream of their hosts eventually colonizing organs, skin and gills. How this presumed anaerobe can persist and invade oxygenated tissues, despite having a strictly anaerobic metabolism, remains elusive.
Results: To investigate how S. salmonicida response to oxygen stress, we performed RNAseq transcriptomic analyses of cells grown in the presence of oxygen or antioxidant-free medium. We found that over 20% of the transcriptome is differentially regulated in oxygen (1705 genes) and antioxidant-depleted (2280 genes) conditions. These differentially regulated transcripts encode proteins related to anaerobic metabolism, cysteine and Fe-S cluster biosynthesis, as well as a large number of proteins of unknown function. S. salmonicida does not encode genes involved in the classical elements of oxygen metabolism (e.g., catalases, superoxide dismutase, glutathione biosynthesis, oxidative phosphorylation). Instead, we found that genes encoding bacterial-like oxidoreductases were upregulated in response to oxygen stress. Phylogenetic analysis revealed some of these oxygen-responsive genes (e.g., nadh oxidase, rubrerythrin, superoxide reductase) are rare in eukaryotes and likely derived from lateral gene transfer (LGT) events into diplomonads from prokaryotes. Unexpectedly, we observed that many host evasion- and invasion-related genes were also upregulated under oxidative stress suggesting that oxygen might be an important signal for pathogenesis.
Conclusion: While oxygen is toxic for related organisms, such as G. intestinalis, we find that oxygen is likely a gene induction signal for host invasion- and evasion-related pathways in S. salmonicida. These data provide the first molecular evidence for how S. salmonicida could tolerate oxic host environments and demonstrate how LGT can have a profound impact on the biology of anaerobic parasites.
Spironucleus species are classified as diplomonad organisms, diverse eukaryotic flagellates found in oxygen-deprived environments. Members of Spironucleus are parasitic and can infect a variety of hosts, such as mice and birds, while the majority are found to infect fish. Massive outbreaks of severe systemic infection caused by a Spironucleus member, Spironucleus salmonicida (salmonicida = salmon killer), have been reported in farmed salmonids resulting in large economic impacts for aquaculture.
In this thesis, the S. salmonicida genome was sequenced and compared to the genome of its diplomonad relative, the mammalian pathogen G. intestinalis (Paper I). Our analyses revealed large genomic differences between the two parasites that collectively suggests that S. salmonicida is more capable of adapting to different environments. As S. salmonicida can infiltrate different host tissues, we provide molecular evidence for how the parasite can tolerate oxygenated environments and suggest oxygen as a potential regulator of virulence factors (Paper III). To further investigate the molecular responses of the parasite and in addition, its host, during infection we set up an interaction system of S. salmonicida and ASK (Atlantic salmon kidney) cells (Paper VI).
To study the cell biology in S. salmonicida we optimized an enzymatic proximity labeling method using ascorbate peroxidase (APEX) as a reporter for transmission electron microscopy (TEM) (Paper IV). As the system is robust and versatile, we showed the localization and performed ultrastructural characterization of numerous proteins in S. salmonicida and G. intestinalis. We furthermore utilized the APEX system to study the annexin protein family in S. salmonicida (Paper II). Super resolution microscopy and TEM were applied to show that the annexins are mostly associated with cytoskeletal and membranous structures. In addition, we performed phylogenetic analyses concluding that the annexin gene family is expanded in diplomonads.
We performed experimental infection in Atlantic salmon and derived a potential model for the route of infection (Paper V). The results suggested multiple routes of transmission between hosts for the parasite.
To conclude, the comprehensive work in this thesis has provided valuable insights into the pathogenesis and cell biology of the highly adaptable diplomonad parasite S. salmonicida.

URGENT Paris Orly airport to close over COVID-19 outbreak
Paris, March 25, 2020 (AFP) - Orly airport south of Paris is to shut down
to commercial traffic from March 31 owing to the COVID-19 pandemic, management
group ADP said Wednesday.
Aeroport de Paris cited a "major and brutal" collapse in the number of
flights to both Orly and Charles de Gaulle airport north of the capital as the
reason for its decision.
"Yesterday, we were at minus 92 percent in passenger traffic at Orly and
minus 89 percent at Charles de Gaulle," director Edward Arkwright told media.

Excellent customer service! Jim Mace was excellent from beginning to end going above and beyond! Best customer service I have ever had at any U-Haul location! Thanks again
The vehicle had some mechanical issues, although it only had 12 miles on it, so I find it hard to fault the U-Haul facility.
When we picked the truck it didn't have anything I ordered in it. We called the service center they offered no help at all. I will NEVER use Uhaul again nor will I use it will my company.
had what I needed, no problem
Hard to see from the road. Had it not been for Google maps, I never would've found it.
The manger, Mr. Mace was terrific. He went out of his way to get the exact size truck that I needed even though he didn't have it on site. He even came in on his day off to deliver the truck to me since it was the only day I could pick it up. Great customer service!
Fast and friendly service. No issues.
Everything was great...continue giving customers an amazing above and beyond customer experience! Thank you!!
At this location there isn't much room for improvement. His credit card scanner did not work so you need to fix that.
Excellent! Convenient! Friendly! Helpful!
Had to go to three separate locations. One to book and then to cross lanes and then to winfield . Gave us conflicting prices. Didn't get help loading trailor . Computers weren't working properly. Charged for 2 days instead of one. And then was going to get charged with extra 23 dollars for mileage when they said there wasnt any. Very irritating
Nothing! I had a very good experience!
My Move went without a hitch. Jim Mace went above and beyond to get the truck we needed when we needed it! Thank you!!
Friendly helpful.
the ac in the cab not barely functioning . should give an allowance upon return. uhaul the company. not the rental or return place. rather than just sorry. 4.5 hours in truck and the money paid should have it working.
The gentleman at the Cross Lanes location was very rude. He accused my husband and I of scratching the uhaul up and tried to make us pay for it because we didn't have the insurance on the uhaul. He called the location where we rented the uhaul from and found out the uhaul already had the scratches on it. He should have been a professional and called the pickup location first before he started accusing us. I'll never deal with this location again!
Kim went over and above in this rental I made !! He even gave me a great act of generosity and gave me a ride
Excellent service.
No improvements needed!!! This is the third time I have used this location for my moving needs. Jim has always provided the most excellent customer service and I would recommend BRI storage/Uhaul to anyone!
Very friendly place and very helpful.
The manager at this location, Jim, was super helpful and excellent to work with.
I thought the management was extremely helpful. It seems thy couldn't do enough to be helpful in a very professional manner.
Very friendly staff.
Awesome cust svc

New Delhi (Web Desk): Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Friday filed nomination papers in Varanasi.
Before filing the nomination papers, Modi flanked by Amit Shah, president of his Hindu nationalist Bharatiya Janta Party, and several state chief ministers prayed at a temple.
Voting in three of the seven phases of the staggered elections has finished. In total, some 900 million people are registered to vote for candidates to fill 543 seats in India's lower house of Parliament. Voting concludes on May 19 and counting is scheduled for May 23.
With around 1.7m voters, Varanasi will go the polls on May 19. The election is seen as a referendum on Modi and his party.
The campaigning has been marred by accusations, insults and unprecedented use of social media to spread false information.
Varanasi is one of the holiest cities for Hindus in India and is based at the banks of the Ganges River, or Ganga. Hindus believe Varanasi is the center of the world and anyone who dies in the city attains salvation.

Brumbies player Scott Sio, left,and his younger brother Patrick, who will be training with the squad in pre-season. Photo: Graham TidyRugby's Sio brothers Scott and Patrick have only ever played together once, but they hope the second time will be in an ACT Brumbies jersey.
Prop Scott has been at the Super Rugby club for two years and has been joined by younger brother Patrick for this pre-season.
Nineteen-year-old Patrick caught the Brumbies' eye and was invited to train with the group until Christmas with the view to potentially joining the extended playing squad for the 2015 season.
While a large group of Brumbies are on the Wallabies' European spring tour, Patrick came to Canberra three weeks ago to try to take his game to another level.
The back-rower will return to play with his Shute Shield club Eastwood next year and the Brumbies will watch his progress.
A strong season could result in him playing alongside his brother the following year.
"That'd be great [to play for the Brumbies with Scott]," Patrick said. "I think I've only played one game with Scotty and that was many years ago.
"I'm looking forward to it, he's always good to play with.
"He's reached the pinnacle of rugby now so he's not a bad guy to hang around with I guess, even if he is your brother."
The Sio family turned Phillips Park, in Lidcombe in suburban Sydney, into a training ground, with father David leading the way.
David played prop for Samoa at the 1991 World Cup and has been a large part of his sons' rugby development.
It was there they developed into a Wallabies prop with the potential for a long international career and a budding young back-rower keen to secure a Super Rugby contract.
Now Scott is also a mentor for his younger sibling.
"When we were young our dad used to run a lot of Sunday sessions, invite all of our very close friends and run us through skills and fitness," Scott said. "Any time we wanted to do extras we'd go down to the park and that's where we still do our extras to this day, trying to improve our game.
"A lot of blood sweat and tears in that park, but it's all been worth it in the end."
Scott wants his younger brother to get as much as he can out of the opportunity with the Brumbies.
"Hopefully maybe we'll pull on the jersey together one day, which would be amazing, but for him it's really about where his opportunities lie and if that's here, that's great, but if it's elsewhere I'll support him 100 per cent," Scott said.

Guess WHO?
I love waking up and finding evidence that wild animals have been exploring our backyard while we are not looking. This fresh dusting of snow let us see how the local raccoons circumnavigated our house and also that they were hoping to dip their paws in the birdbath.
Do you ever wonder about how these wild animals survive in the city?
First, why is this animal called raccoon (wikipedia):
The word "raccoon" was adopted into English from the native Powhatan term, as used in the Colony of Virginia. It was recorded on John Smith's list of Powhatan words as aroughcun, and on that of William Strachey as arathkone. It has also been identified as a reflex of a Proto-Algonquian root *ahrah-koon-em, meaning "[the] one who rubs, scrubs and scratches with its hands".
Hill Raccoons are more than Bandits, 10/15 Brendan McGarry: REPOST from CHS blog
"Despite their nocturnal tendencies, we know they are around, scampering across intersections when we come home late at night or when they blunder beneath our tires. The main reason they've become so common in our urban world is that they're incredibly intelligent and this is very adaptive for the variety of nuances they face in the city. Their common name is merely an english settler mangled Powhatan word for the animal; their latin binomial is telling. The genus designates them as before, "Pro," dog, "cyon," intimating that raccoons are indeed carnivores (though more closely related to bears than dogs). The second notes a common behavior, as lotor literally means "washer," and raccoons are well known for their habit of "washing" their food using dextrous forelimbs.
Unlike us, raccoons don't have very good long distance vision but instead rely on a suite of other senses. Based on their anatomy, raccoons do see better than us at night, because they possess tapetum lucida, tissues behind their retina contributing to superior light gathering, which many mammals have. You've seen this before in your dog or cat when at night a beam of light reflects in their eyes. Despite this nocturnal augmentation, both a sense of smell and hearing, much more acute than ours top vision in importance to raccoons. However, one trumps them all, and that's their sense of touch.
Though raccoons don't have opposable thumbs on their forepaws like primates, they are only slightly less dextrous. raccoons have one of the most highly developed senses of touch for a vertebrate, with an inordinate amount of brain power devoted to the tactile. Their habit of "washing" is not related to a desire for clean food but instead related to the fact that they can feel more when wetting their paws, softening their footpads. I've routinely seen raccoons search about in the water with their paws (they love frogs, fish, clams, and all manner of invertebrates that habituate them to habitats with nearby water), and upon finding something, manipulate it throughly as a blindfolded person would an object handed to them for inspection. This is a prime way they see the world, so different than how most of us see things."
Thanks for your interest in our backyard visitors.
Cheers, and enjoy the wild side.
Black-Masked Sapsucker
Two new birds to end my year: an unusually marked sapsucker and a Belted Kingfisher.
We spotted these on Christmas Eve, near Duck Pond at the northern end of the Arboretum.
It was a handy coincidence that Union Bay Watch was on hand to take photos, and then to do a bit of research, according to Larry:
"It seems to me that this 2019 bird is most likely a hybrid between a Red-breasted and a Red-naped Sapsucker. However, the black mask surrounding the eye is rather puzzling. None of the four species of sapsuckers in North America have such a complete mask of black around the eyes. Three of the four have a black eye stripe running between white highlights, similar to the Red-naped Sapsucker. The Red-breasted Sapsucker is the exception. This 2019 bird appears to be a unique individual. The black mask around the eye appears to be personal variation. Maybe this is how a new species begins. If this bird's unique DNA is passed on maybe someday its progeny will form another species. They might even be called, Black-masked Sapsuckers."
How cool is that?
Happy Bird Year 2020!

Mystery bug #2 is the larva stage of the Ladybug Coccinellidae. The first time I found baby ladybugs in my yard, I was pretty sure that I had discovered a new species of insect. Who knew?
Insects can go through complete or incomplete metamorphosis. Nymphs are tinier versions of the adults, and instars and larvae can look very different from the adult (think caterpillar/butterfly).

Twitter allows Beijing to LIE about the coronavirus, but still won't allow the Health Ranger to tell the TRUTH… because Jack Dorsey is a communist working for China's interests
Communist China has been on a lying spree ever since the Chinese Virus (COVID-19) went global, and it's been using Twitter as a mouthpiece to spread its propaganda. Even as independent truth-tellers like the Health Ranger are still banned from the Twitter platform, Jack Dorsey and company see nothing wrong with the Chinese regime spreading […]

China BANS coronavirus testing to achieve near-zero infection rate, medicine goes "political" to protect communist regime
You may not have heard, but there's now a second wave of the Wuhan coronavirus (COVID-19) sweeping China, and the communist regime is actually prohibiting further testing in order to perpetuate the illusion that there are no more people being infected with it. In a video shared to Twitter, a doctor from the Hanyang District […]

NIH spent more than $700 million in taxpayer money to develop coronavirus pharmaceuticals, vaccines and bioweapons
For the past almost 20 years, the United States government has been using your tax dollars (assuming you're an American taxpayer) to fund research and development into vaccines and other pharmaceuticals for the coronavirus family of pathogens.

WikiHow now "weaponizing" children against their own parents to obey the very same vaccine industry that's killing children
More than $4 billion has been paid out from the National Vaccine Injury Compensation Program to families of injured or dead children who were poisoned by vaccines.

Hey everyone! Hope you all are doing well. I'm back here at TheAnimeScrolls with another brand-new post. In this post, we'll discuss a list regarding the top 10 strongest duos in Naruto. Over the years we have seen numerous partnerships or two-man teams which have been formidable to beat and here are the top 10 amongst them.
Let's begin the list of top 10 strongest duos in Naruto
10. Kakashi Hatake And Obito Uchiha
Kakashi Hatake and Obito Uchiha were in the same genin team. They fought alongside each other quite a few times but this duos main contribute came in the fourth great war when they helped Sasuke Uchiha and Naruto Uzumaki in the battle against Kaguya Otsutsuki. This is a very powerful duo due to their experience and powerful techniques.
9. Killer B And Naruto Uzumaki
These are the only two remaining Jinchuuriki and both of them are perfect Jinchuuriki. They have teamed up quite a few times and most noticeably during the fourth great war. They are a lethal duo and at this time Naruto didn't have the six paths chakra and the chakra of all tailed beasts, thus they are ranked on number 9 on this list.
8. Madara Uchiha And Izuna Uchiha
This was one of the most famous teams during the Warring States period. They were the first Uchiha to awaken the Mangekyou Sharingan. It is known that Izuna Uchiha's Mangekyou Sharingan control was on par with Madara Uchiha. And we know that during that period Madara was only behind Hashirama Senju in terms of being the strongest shinobi. Thus, this is also one of the strongest duos in Naruto.
7. Itachi Uchiha And Sasuke Uchiha
The most popular Uchiha brothers among the fans are Itachi Uchiha and Sasuke Uchiha. They teamed up during the fourth great war to take down Kabuto Yakushi. They both possessed Mangekyou Sharingan abilities and since Itachi was in the reanimated state he could use his Mangekyou Sharingan without any negative effects. At this time Itachi was stronger of the two brothers.
6. Kakashi Hatake And Might Guy
This is the team of the sixth Hokage of Konohagakure and the legendary ninja of Konohagakure Might Guy. When these two get together they are hard to beat. One can use the inner eight gates technique and the other has over a thousand techniques up his sleeve. They have fought together quite a few times in the past.
5. Hashirama Senju And Tobirama Senju
Hashirama Senju was known as the God of Shinobi and the strongest character during the Warring States period. Tobirama Senju was known as The Creator due to the fact he has invented numerous strong jutsu. They are a formidable team and it is known that Madara was defeated by Hashirama and Tobirama defeated Izuna. Thus, giving us an idea of how strong this duo is.
4. Momoshiki Otsutsuki And Kinshiki Otsutsuki
Momoshiki Otsutsuki and Kinshiki Otsutsuki were two God level characters introduced in Boruto series. One had tremendous strength and the other was capable of absorbing all ninjutsu with his Rinnegan. They even defeated a perfect Jinchuuriki in Killer Bee and when Momoshiki absorbed Kinshiki he was able to defeat all Kage.
3. Madara Uchiha and Obito Uchiha
Madara and Obito fought as a team when both of them were successful in reviving the Ten-Tailed Beast. They could both use the senjutsu chakra and literally caused havoc on the battlefield. Even Naruto Uzumaki and Killer B couldn't stop them. Also, Sasuke Uchiha's Amaterasu had no effect on the Ten-Tails beast. It was surely one of the all-time strongest duos in NarutoVerse.
2. Naruto Uzumaki And Sasuke Uchiha
This is a team of the Shinobi who both possess the chakra of Hagoromo Otsutsuki. After getting the six paths chakra they were even able to seal away Kaguya Otsutsuki. We also saw them in action against Momoshiki Otsutsuki who had already absorbed Kinshiki Otsutsuki and beat him as well. This is simply the strongest duo in NarutoVerse right now but not the strongest of all time.
1. Hagoromo Otsutsuki And Hamura Otsutsuki
Hagoromo Otsutsuki and Hamura Otsutsuki inherited the chakra of Kaguya Otsutsuki directly and had the most powerful dōjutsu that exist, the Rinnegan and the Tenseigan. Both of them were able to seal away Kaguya Otsutsuki. Both of them could use a powerful senjutsu chakra as well, and clearly were more powerful than both Sasuke Uchiha and Naruto Uzumaki.
That is it from today's post on top 10 strongest duos in NarutoVerse. If you do not agree with the points in the post and have some of your own opinions, share them with us in the comments section down below. Keep visiting TheAnimeScrolls for more information about Anime, Manga and movies.

The author relates his holistic view of human health within this text. Holistic health has existed for many years in China as well as India, two great Asian civilizations that continue to this day. There is advocacy for the ordinary person to take back control of their daily nutrition and their overall health. Since some of the practices of Big Agriculture and Big Foods seem to be in contradiction to personal health, people need updated guidelines to lead them out of the quagmire that is the food market.

It seems simple to create a baby, after all everyone does it. Even simpler is the definition of fertility. For a successful conception, you need only three things: egg, sperm, and uterus. However, all of these components have to work together to produce a healthy baby, but what happens if one of these parts is not working properly, or is missing altogether?

There is a trailer, an IMDB-entry, you can buy it at Amazon Video or on BluRay and DVD. Aaaand there is even a Twitter account.
Charlie Sheen narrates, as cast and crew share their personal experiences making the Academy Award winning film, Platoon. This non-union, low budget, independent film was cast almost exclusively with young, unknown actors making their first film. Together they share their first hand accounts of the grueling boot camp, Oliver Stone's "unique" directing style, and the brutal filming conditions that together forged their eternal brotherhood.

TV: Any Given Sunday9 08 2008
Just watched it. I don't really relate to the subject. Or maybe I should have watch the movie ONLY, without trying to finish editing this blog at the same time…
Too many people talking at the same time didn't help to understand the dialogues, but the cinematography is outstanding. Great stunts, great atmosphere, great sound — I almost regret I haven't seen it on the big screen. It had this "you are there" feeling in the game sequences.
John McGinley looking super-sleazy didn't fit into the cast somehow. Too overdone IMO. There is Oliver Stone as a commentator. And — as Michael Carlson stated in his book — there is an Indian in the movie, even if he's uncredited: To my great surprise I recognized fragments of the soundtrack as coming from Robbie Robertson's Music for The Native Americans. I discovered the CD by incident few years ago.

Sidetracks: Stone travelling to Russia in 19835 08 2008
Oliver Stone's Twist
By A.L. Bardach
Posted Wednesday, April 14, 2004, at 7:44 PM ET
OS: I was in Soviet Russia for a script in 1983, and I interviewed 20 dissidents in 12 cities. I really got an idea of dissidents that was much rougher than here. These people in Cuba were nothing compared to what I saw in Russia.
He seems to be very naive in his approach regarding the situation in Cuba. To say the less. Or the interviewer wants to show him this way. But I wanted to stay away from politics… What's really interesting to me: which script does he mean?

Taxi!18 05 2008
I might repeat myself here:
There was a little tidbit that intrigued me from the first time I've read OS mentioning Taxi Driver in 1988. It was something like he "became like Travis Bickle" after his return from Vietnam. I asked myself if he could be actually the prototype of Bickle — Scorsese was his teacher in NY from 1969-70
Recently I found this article (the red highlighting is mine)
Ah, well, life can be stranger than fiction. I think given the details — it's even more mind-boggling that Stone was NOT the prototype of Bickle…
