welll...... so that is essentially an example of what i was saying. if you don't find single whip is useful for whatever people thought it's useful for, but you do find ward off is useful, then ward off is "live" as an external or internal "form". then you can merge that outer form with "internal".
personally in the gifs i posted i see an outside to inside movement and a hooking away being used effectively, just not for a "catch" (which was just another example not really meant to be conflated with single whip, at least by me. i was thinking of that aikido prank video).

For The Fallen Dreams (USA) + Skywalker (CZ/UK) + InVisions + The Royal EXCL NL SHOW
hardcore, metal
Gelimiteerd aantal earlybirds beschikbaar!
For the Fallen Dreams is an American metalcore band formed in 2003 in mid-Michigan. This veteran outfit made waves through the hardcore scene after their breakthrough debut album Changes released in 2008, and staked their claim as a career metal band by touring rigorously around the world year-in year-out. FTFD continued touring with releases Relentless (2009), Back Burner (2011), Wasted Youth (2012), and Heavy Hearts (2014), the band's most recent effort. The band regrouped in 2017 after an unofficial hiatus that spanned nearly two years, and produced their 6th full-length album "Six" (Josh Schroeder, Random Awesome) released February 2018 through long-time partners, Rise Records. Look for the band to be back on the road in 2019 including this summer Euro tour.
Post-hardcore outlet combining heavy riffs, crushing breakdowns, and sweet melodies with honest and personal lyricism.
Founded in 2011, the band released two EP's before their debut full-length album Liberty Island (2014, Redfield Digital). Touring extensively across Europe and as far as Canada, the band gathered a considerable following. In 2015, with the following self-released EP Ellis, Skywalker started repeatedly touring the UK, settling with the London-based City Music Agency. In 2016, Skywalker successfully toured China and Japan. Working with one of UK's best modern alternative producers Seb Barlow (Neck Deep, As It Is, Blood Youth), the band created Sugar House, taking a more serious and dark tone and releasing the long awaited record in front of an audience of 500 in 2017.
"Brash, completely and utterly NSFW, and ludicrously heavy... [This] isn't for the faint-hearted"
- Rock Sound -
"They're hitting us round the face with cataclysmically heavy music. Just as we like it"
- Alex Baker, Kerrang! -
"Slamming downtrend riffs and braggadocio separates them from others who rely on sweaty breakdowns to make their point"
- Kerrang! Magazine -
"Mad for it metalcore...an adrenaline filled debut from a band with undeniable potential"
- Metal Hammer -
A band that takes the best of a wide variety of subgenres in metal and presents a fresh and unique cross-over into today's scene, released their very first label record "Seven" on Long Branch Records in march 2017. After forming the band late in 2012 these 5 ambitious young men began writing and recording songs DIY and displayed incredible promise through songs that showcase poignant and powerful writing. They self-released their EP, "Origins", in 2012 and their single, "Blind Eye", in 2013, followed by their first full-length "Dreamcatchers" in 2014, also self-released. In the course of this release they played supportshows for acts like Architects and Breakdown Of Sanity and gained attention at festivals like Jera On Air and Impericon Festival. This band fuses metal, groove and melody and delivers it in an advanced manner. This, combined with their flowing and thoughtful lyrics and their stellar live performance, shows that The Royal is a force to be reckoned with.

Annie's Last Paper Not Coming Out
In a bizarre replay of Annie's Coming Out (1980) the Department of Human Services is preventing Anne McDonald's oldest friend, Leonie McFarlane, from delivering a presentation in her memory.
Leonie's case is to be taken to the Supreme Court today by Ron Meldrum, QC.
Anne McDonald and Leonie McFarlane were both admitted to St Nicholas Hospital as young children because they had severe cerebral palsy and couldn't talk intelligibly. Anne left the hospital after winning a writ of Habeas Corpus in 1979, and went on to graduate from university and win a National Disability Award. Leonie remained in state care.
Early in 2010 Anne and Leonie developed a Powerpoint presentation comparing their lives in and out of state care. They planned to deliver the presentation together for the AGOSCI national conference on non-speech communication starting in Adelaide on 11 May - next Wednesday.
After Anne's sudden death last October Leonie received a FaHCSIA-funded scholarship to attend the conference and deliver the presentation with the assistance of Anne's carers - Rosemary Crossley and her partner Chris Borthwick.
All permissions were obtained and arrangements finalised with DHS on March 31. On April 21 DHS suddenly banned Leonie from attending the conference, and banned her from having any contact with Crossley and Borthwick. When questioned the Minister's office said "there is no push at all from the department to stop this happening, rather the individual's guardian has made the decision".
On May 3 DHS admitted that Leonie, who is 48, does not have a guardian. Nonetheless the department and the Minister are continuing to pass the buck, with neither prepared to withdraw the bans.
Today Rosemary Crossley said "You cannot imagine how distressing this is, both for Leonie (who saw Anne as family) and for us. Anne fought for ordinary human rights for people with disabilities. It's heartbreaking to discover that her struggle was in vain - that in 30 years the bureaucracy has learnt nothing about essential freedoms, and the right of all people to a life worth living."

Dear Rosie,
How are things going with Leonie? Was she able to receive our postcards? I hope you are wrecking havoc on dhs. We are all backing you up. Thanks for checking out my blog will try to update more often.
- Shithead said...
The dispute's going to mediation, so we're not able to say much; but we're still banned, and I don't know whether the postcards were allowed through. It's pretty grim, I'm afraid.

Where can I get free online nursing courses?
I am wondering about where I can find excellent free online nursing courses to keep my brain sharp and be up-to-date regarding the developments in the sector. Towards the end of last year, I was lucky to benefit from free online anatomy course offered by the renowned MOOC, Alison.
In the future, I would like to take some free online nutrition courses to understand how nutrition can contribute to a patient's treatment. Anyway, my immediate concern is a nursing class.
So, can you provide me with information on where I can find them?
Naomi Doyle
1 answer
As a nursing professional, you need to always be sharp in your sector. This state can only be achieved by taking a free online nursing course from a reputable provider. There are many institutions, MOOCs, and organizations that provide these classes. Therefore, ensure that you take accredited courses from recognized providers to avoid wasting your time and energy. It is quite demoralizing to spend your valuable time taking a program that is not approved by your state.
On that note, the courses below are some of the free accredited nursing classes I recommend for you. Take these programs to be current in your practice and improve your skills to adequate levels. They will also complement your free online course in anatomy efficiently.
PHN (Public Health Nurse) Ready
Provider: Empire State Health Training Institute
This online certificate program is suitable for registered nurses who are currently employed in the public health sector. If you would like to understand how public health works, this class is for you too. A Licensed Practicing Nursing will also find this course quite valuable.
The program is self-paced; meaning you can customize and arrange your studies to fit into your schedule. Moreover, some PHN ready classes offer continuing education credits.
Fundamentals of Nursing
Provider: Kaplan University
This class has all the relevant information for anyone seeking an introduction or a refresher on the fundamentals of wellness and nursing. You will learn about the safety of patients, monitoring of vital symptoms in patients, initial evaluation, and bathing and grooming.
The Biology of Health and Water
Provider: Tufts University
This course educates you on how to expand your thinking concerning water-related health issues. You will learn about the numerous ways in which health and water relate. Moreover, you will get vital information on economic, social, and behavioral aspects regarding the drinking of water on a worldwide scale.
Fundamentals of Oncology
Provider: John Hopkins University
Are you a Public Health professional? Yes? This program is for you. This course consists of several lectures on cancer prevention in clinical oncology. They provide in-depth information on cancer diagnosis, screening, treatment, and prevention of different cancers such as colon, breast, lung, and prostate.
After finishing this course, you will be able to:
- Understand how cancer presents itself
- Identify the various treatment approaches to the multiple types of cancer
- Explain the significant differences in prevention strategies compared to treatment strategies.
Lastly, check out reputable MOOCs such as edX and Alison to get an excellent free online nutrition course.
The free online nursing courses mentioned are invaluable to registered and practicing nurses. From the list, I am only familiar with the Public Health course from Empire State Health Centre. However, given the renowned institutions offering the classes, I think they are quite decent. You should check them out.
Some other courses I would like to suggest for you are:
Use of Nursing Research
The University of Michigan provides this course. In this course, you will learn the evidence-based approach that is necessary to anyone in advanced nursing practice. You will get informative research findings concerning the practice. The research data is collated basing on factors such as race, socioeconomic importance, and ethnicity.
Human Development and Growth
Provided by Tufts University, this course educates you on the various aspects of growth and development. This knowledge is vital to nursing professionals as it helps them become better at caregiving.

On 9/11/11 Sal & I honored our fallen heros of 2001, as did most Americans.
Then we ended the day by invitation to a new spot opening in Manchester, NH called Vino Aromas, where our son, Sal Junior, proposed to the love of his life! First time we were ever invited to a marriage proposal. It was bodacious!!!
Dan and Nadine Villafranca will open Vino Aromas to the public on September 20, 2011. Vino Aromas is a wine retail store with a wine tasting room! Located at 997 Elm Street in downtown Manchester, NH. This is a ground-breaking concept that will surely be a great place to stop in when in the area. Vino aromas will showcase a variety of 80 to 100 wines from around the world, as well as local wine distributors. In front is a retail store and in the back is a wine tasting room which has 7 tables to accommodate up to 22 customers. There you can try up to 28 different wines in three different sizes: tasting, half glass or full glass. They offer a small menu with a variety of platters that compliment the selection of wines; including cheeses, fruits and deli meats. You must see it to believe it! Sal & I will be there on their opening day.

Grant-giving functions to Ministry under HEI Act are purely misplaced: MHRD
New Delhli. This is in reference to the draft Higher Education Commission of India (Repeal of University Grants Commission Act) Act 2018 and the subsequent comments made in various sections of Press about the proposed shift of the grant-giving functions away from the UGC as a part of the its proposed transformation.
The Ministry of HRD has clarified that no such final decision has yet been taken to shift the grant function to the Ministry even though the recommendation about separating the Regulator and grant-giving entity has been made by many an expert committee in the past, and is rooted in sound principles of Governance.

TRP2 RISTA/Cavalry
|Oto Melara SpA
|Product type:
|Auxiliary Vehicles
|Robot, Unmanned Vehicle
The TRP2 RISTA (Reconnaissance, Intelligence, Surveillance and Target Acquisition, also known as TRP2 Cavalry) robot has a tracked chassis. Its tracks has the shape of an inverted trapezoid, which guarantees good mobility when traveling on stairs.
Since the robot is designed to perform special reconnaissance tasks, it can be dismantled for modules behind the back weighing less than 20 kg each, which, if necessary, allows to refuse to transport it by car to the launch site. The maximum combat mass is about 90 kg and the speed is 15 km/h on a road.
The onboard equipment is presented in the form of an optical-electronic station Mini Colibri from Selex ES, which rises on the arm of the pantograph type. The sensor package includes an uncooled thermal imaging camera with a resolution of 320x240 with a field of view of 4.6°, a daytime CCD camera with increased sensitivity with a variable field of view from 2.4° to 46° and an eye-safe laser rangefinder with a distance of 4000 meters. The arm can rotate by ± 180 °, and the sensor head has an inclination angle of ±40°.
This robot will provide near-distance reconnaissance capabilities for the version of the Freccia Explorer 8x8, which will be deployed to the intelligence units of the Italian army. Long-distance reconnaissance is entrusted to the Horus UAV from Oto Melara, which can be launched from a 120mm gun barrel or from a light pipe of the same caliber installed on the Freccia Explorer reconnaissance version.

District 211 Announcement
Appointment of Superintendent of Schools, effective July 1, 2020
At a special meeting on October 24, 2019, the Township High School District 211 Board of Education confirmed Lisa Small as its next superintendent of schools, effective July 1, 2020. Dr. Small, currently District 211 associate superintendent for instruction, will replace retiring District 211 Superintendent Dan Cates, after 27 years in the District, the past six as superintendent. With her appointment, Dr. Small becomes the eighth District 211 superintendent.
Dr. Small has held her current position as the associate superintendent for instruction since 2014. In this role, she has led the District's Instructional Team and has been instrumental in increasing advanced placement, dual credit, and career pathways course offerings, as well as implementing the District's new wellness program. Prior to her position as associate superintendent, she served as principal at William Fremd High School for six years, from 2008-2014. She began her teaching career at Adlai E. Stevenson High School in January 1992, before coming to Hoffman Estates High School as a science and mathematics teacher in August 1992. Dr. Small moved into administration in 2000 when she was named a 10-month assistant principal at Hoffman Estates High School, serving in that role for two years. She also coached volleyball while at Hoffman Estates High School for 10 seasons. In 2002, she was promoted to 12-month assistant principal at Fremd High School and then was appointed as the District's director of instructional improvement in 2004 before being named principal in 2008.
Dr. Small received her bachelor's degree in biology education from Ohio State University and her master's degree in curriculum and instruction from Northern Illinois University. Dr. Small earned a certificate of advanced studies from National Louis in educational leadership, administration, and supervision; and her doctorate of education in curriculum and instruction from Loyola University Chicago.
The appointment of Dr. Small as District 211 superintendent culminates in an internal and external search process by the Board of Education, conducted by School Exec Connect. The process included the use of feedback from stakeholder surveys, as well as focus groups comprised of a cross-section of District constituents, including community members, parents, teachers, support staff, and administrators. Following interview sessions, the feedback was gathered by the Board before making its final decision.
"Throughout her 27 years in District 211, Lisa Small has been a highly respected leader in every role she has served," said current District 211 Superintendent Dr. Cates. "As an excellent teacher and coach, as an exceptional administrator and principal, and for the past five years as a highly successful associate superintendent, Dr. Small has already had a tremendous impact in District 211. I am elated that the District's students, staff and parents will now benefit from her influential leadership and vision in her new role as superintendent. This is an excellent day for all of us in District 211, and our future is very bright."

The '60s are back in a big way, and the hints are everywhere if you just know where to look. The drive to emulate a different time is not, however, something new. It is in fact a recognised reaction to times of unrest, and manifests in the adoption of trends and approaches to life in a time that either seems better, or has tackled similar issues.
The V&A, always one to be counted on to provide beauty, entertainment, and food for thought is addressing our recede to the '60s in its new exhibition. Covering life from 1966 to 1970 and looking mainly at the United States and the U.K., You Say You Want A Revolution looks at how music, sex, drugs, art, and politics changed and in turn changed the world.
The exhibition starts with no fanfare, with each visitor receiving a headset as they approach the exhibition entrance. The first display is equally demure. A wall of record covers frame a screen on which various personalities appear accompanied by (their) quotes on the '60s. The voices can only be heard in the individual headset, immediately creating a sense of a private experience.
The first room sets the scene with the help of music memorabilia, displaying an array that the Hard Rock Cafe is probably drooling at at this very moment. From original lyric sheets belonging to John Lennon to projections of Bob Dylan, this room paints a clear picture. Perhaps the most notable feature, however, is the music and sounds coming out of those modest headphones. The synchronisation of the sounds delivered by each headset with its wearer's movement within the space allows for a very special connection to be made with the exhibits and the exhibition, right off the cuff.
Each of the rooms offer a comprehensive history of the era focusing on various aspects such as fashion, music, advertising, and general social upheaval, with additional context given when it is due. Subjects both light and heavy are tackled, creating an honest commentary as to the upsides and downsides faced by the baby boom generation. Walking through examples of apparel of the time (Twiggy naturally gets a fair few mentions) and other aspects of popular culture as well as ground breaking literature such as Germaine Greer's The Female Eunuch offer a compelling, stimulating, and intellectually challenging experience.
A special mention must be given to the room tackling activist groups, social and civil rights movements, and general rebellion against the system whether on the basis of gender, sexuality, or race. While the costumes and memorabilia offers pleasant respite, these exhibits really speak out, even though not exactly part of the "groovy" image that is more widely publicised. A Time magazine copy from 1969 shows the first major article published by a large publication on gay men in America, only to conclude that homosexuality is a disease. Examples such as these make a poignant point as to the struggles that were encountered by minority groups then, mainly exploring issues which still resonate today. Walking past a black panthers poster, it is hard not to relate these exhibits and their cry for change to some of the events we have seen in the very recent past and, sadly, present.
A round up of the values and driving forces behind what made the '60s iconic is aptly presented with parallels to today's social and political landscape in the last room of this exhibition. Rather beautifully, it all concludes with optimism; Lennon's Imagine accompanies the last exhibits as visitors step out into the next century, leaving a feeling of rebellion, hope, and fashion tips to keep this revolution going in our times.

Using talent pools when recruiting can save you money, time and help with succession planning.
Reduce the Cost of Recruitment
Talent pools take time and expertise to build. If they are done well they greatly reduce the cost of recruitment because they can eliminate the need to advertise through print and online media.
A recent study by Taleo Research called 'Economics of Candidate Relationship Databases' found that recruitment costs could be reduced by 25-50% when using talent pools for recruiting.
Reduce the Time to Hire
You can reduce the time it takes to find the right candidate using talent pools as the work in selecting, screening and prequalifying candidates is done. In fact good recruiters are continuously talking with their talent updating information and bring new talent into their pools. A recent study by Page Up called 'Utilisation of Talent Pools for External Recruitment in Australia' found that nearly 50% of organisations believed they had reduced their time to hire using talent pools.
Identify Quality Candidates for the Future
Talent pools can help you identify potential external candidates before the need to fill a role arises. This allows you to move quickly to fill the role with the right candidate with minimal impact on your day-to-day business.
Talent pools can save both time and money when recruiting. They can also help with succession planning. If you would like to know more about this topic or you would like to suggest a topic for me to write about then please contact me firstname.lastname@example.com

Are you looking to be more effective in your day? Maybe work a little smarter and not so hard? If so, here are 3 Killer Tips to take your daily planning routine to the next level.
#1 Identify your Priorities
Do you know what your top priorities are each day? Most people don't. They jump into the day and start getting stuff done. Or, they work from a to-do list which never seems to end. Remember, when you say yes to one task, you are saying no to another. If you really want to make your day as effective as it can be, you must be saying YES to your priority tasks.
How do you know what's a priority? Look at your goals. When you take the time to get clear and create a vision of your life (and then break it down into goals) your daily priority becomes a breeze. This makes daily planning go super fast, plus you can easily identify non-priority tasks which can be pushed off until later.
#2 Stop Thriving on "Busy"
There are lots of people who get a rush from being busy. The narrowly-met deadlines, endless emails, piles of paper needing attention on the desk, the frantic race to a meeting. It can be a real adrenaline buzz and even an ego boost. However, the problem is working in this manner rarely means you're effective. Plus, over time it can lead to major stress.
Instead, when you sit down to plan your day, focus on being effective and not just busy. It may require a little ego checking but it's for your own good! Look at your list for the day and ask yourself, "is this just busy work, or am I moving my life forward?"
#3 Everything in One Place
Multi-tasking, having papers and notes scattered all over, working from multiple calendars and planners can all contribute to poor productivity. Instead, focus on keeping everything in one place. It will save you time and reduce the load on your already tired brain trying to remember where everything is. This may not be accomplished easily, but if you spend even 10 minutes a day organizing and consolidating you'll see a big difference very quickly.
I keep everything in my Best Planner Ever. Hey, I designed it for just this purpose so of course I use it myself! You get a FULL PAGE for daily planning so you have space to really keep everything in one place. It has room to identify the top priority each day, scheduled appointments, errands, self care, and even plan meals and exercise.
It's my go-to #1 tool for killer daily planning!

As I'm sure anyone who knows the setting will agree, the Hyborian Age is not so much "magic-poor" as "magic-rare" ( a term I learned from Evan over at Hugely Ruined Pile). Demons, Curses, Magic and Enchanted Items abound in the setting, but not to the same extent as in other fantasy settings, but when they are found, they tend to be far more powerful (on average) than in other campaign worlds.
To reflect this, I'm going to rule that magical items that come with a "+" or a "-" (but nothing else) aren't actually magical items at all. They're just particularly well made, but otherwise non-magical, crafted items - particularly those made of steel, bronze that's be carbonated in bird-shit, especially pure iron and so forth. Such weapons will retain their ability to harm demons and other creatures immune to "non-magical items", which helps stay true to the spirit of the Age as well. Conan, after all, was particularly adept at putting down demons and other magical beasts without the aid of magical weapons.
I'm thinking that a "Sword +3, Protection from Evil" would be magical because it protected the bearer from evil. Not because of the +3. In this case, the enchantment just happens to have been applied to an especially well-made sword of, say, Cimmerian Blue Steel.
As I ponder the matter further, I'll probably come up with more magic-item house rules that retain the flavour of the Hyborian Age. I'm very conscious of the fact that Old School gaming tends to assume that characters of a given play level possess a certain quantity of magical items. So I'll attempt to find a way to balance the "magic-rare" qualities of the Hyborian Age with the "magic-item debt" of the OSRIC rules.

City of West SacramentoHome Menu
Housing Policies and Studies
Yolo County Ten-Year Plan to End Homelessness
In 2008/2009, the cities of West Sacramento, Davis, Woodland, Winters and the County of Yolo conducted community meetings, services forums, site visits, surveys and individual interviews with residents, service providers, community leaders, homeless persons and other stakeholders to create a plan to develop an integrated and effective system to address the needs of homelessness in our community. One Piece at a Time: Ending & Preventing Homelessness in Yolo County outlines key elements of a homeless prevention strategy, affordable housing goals, supportive services needed to successfully house homeless individuals and to maximize their self-sufficiency, and an implementation plan for administration, coordination and financing.
Inclusionary Housing Policies
Chapter 15.40 of the West Sacramento Municipal Code contains the City's Inclusionary Housing Program. Complete text of Chapter 15.40 is provided below, along with the Implementation Guidelines for the Inclusionary Housing Program.
- Chapter 15.40
- Housing Trust Fund
- All in-lieu fee agreements require City Council approval. Current annual in-lieu fee: $6,476/unit.
Housing Element
The Housing Element is one of the seven mandated elements of the West Sacramento General Plan. It sets forth the City's strategy to preserve and enhance the community's residential character, expand housing opportunities for all economic segments, and provide guidance and direction for local government decision-making in all matters related to housing.
The Housing Element:
- Covers the 2013-2021 planning period
- Provides an assessment of current and future housing needs, and the resources and constraints related to those needs
- Provides a comprehensive strategy that establishes the basis for housing goals, policies, and programs
- Was made available at City Hall, and was posted on the City's web site and in other public locations.
Adopted by the City Council on September 18, 2013.
Homeless Strategy
The City of West Sacramento is a member of the Yolo County Homeless Coalition. The Coalition facilitates grant writing and coordinates referrals between non-profit and governmental homeless services providers on a county basis.
In response to community member concerns regarding the effects of homelessness, a study was undertaken to assemble information garnered from neighborhood residents, the business community, social service agencies, and persons experiencing homelessness through a series of community meetings and personal interviews.
Combined with extensive research on homeless programs across the nation, the resulting 2013 Homeless Update contains the best available data on the status of homelessness in West Sacramento. The Update includes a set of guiding principles to inform homeless policy in West Sacramento: respect, sustainability, accountability and cooperation.
As a result of the Homeless Update, the City developed the 2013 Homeless Action Plan to address concerns and improve services available to persons experiencing homelessness in West Sacramento. The Action Plan is based on the principles from the Homeless Update, and focuses on: enhancing public safety; improving communication between the City, County and other stakeholders; expanding resources available to combat homelessness; and developing effective delivery systems for services.

BEREA, Ohio -- Coach Hue Jackson stressed that Josh Gordon won't start the opener against the Steelers, but Gordon promised to be here this season regardless of his off-field issues.
"I know I'm going to be here playing football, and anything outside of these walls, I think I have the right people in place to help me in any way in which I need them to help me,'' Gordon said Monday in his first interview since returning from his treatment program at the University of Florida on Aug. 18th.
Gordon was referring not only to his effort to stay sober and mentally healthy, but also the child support battle he's involved in with Christina Lockhart, the mother of his three-year-old daughter.
He said he plans to be ready to face the Steelers, even if he won't start the game.
"Yeah, Week 1 regular season,'' he said. "That's my focus. It is. That's what I've been told to do and that's what I plan on doing."
Ruled out of Thursday night's game against the Lions with his tweaked hamstring, Gordon also showed he hasn't lost his sense of humor. Asked how he tweaked the hammy, he winked and said "dehydration."
He acknowledged that it would be nice for his teammates to reach out if they see a red flag, but that he'll be okay even if they don't.
"I just need them to be themselves, honestly, that's it,'' he said. "If they feel like 'caring for Josh today,' great, if not, great. I'm going to be all right and things will go as they should go. But like I said, I'm definitely happy to have them in and around my life in any type of way possible. Any way they want to be a part of it, I love those guys and I'm grateful to have them.''
Looking like he hasn't missed a weightlifting session during his month away, Gordon stressed that "life is good." He was obviously scripted to say 'as it relates to football' whenever anyone asked about his time away or tried to get him to elaborate on the reasons behind it.
Did you know you were in trouble with your sobriety and raise your hand to get help?
"As it relates to football, I've got a great group of guys here and a group of people here that I can lean on no matter what's going on outside of here that help me focus and stay grounded,'' he said. "My big objective is to win games and the objective is to play football."
In terms of needing to be away for a while, does he feel settled and at peace now?
"In relating to football, it's good to be back in this atmosphere, it's right where I need to be. I'm glad to be here,'' he said.
You said you left for a mental break, how did that go?
"Um, as it relates to football, I'm doing well,'' he reiterated. "I'm glad I was able to have the opportunity and it's good to be here and I feel ... grateful for the opportunity to have the chance to come back out here and be with my teammates and enjoy this beautiful atmosphere."
Given everything Gordon's been through, including more than a month in treatment at Florida, Jackson has no plans to start him against the Steelers Sept. 9 at FirstEnergy Stadium. He'll play him, but see how it goes. Gordon worked out in Gainesville, but not like he does here.
"It's tough,'' said Jackson. "As I said before, he's not going to start any way. That's not going to change. We'll come up with the right package for him to play. I would not expect him to go play the whole game or anything like that, but I expect him to contribute to the football team when we get ready to play Pittsburgh and he's ready to go."
Gordon, who's played only 10 games over the past four seasons, supports whatever Jackson decides to do. Although the NFL had jurisdiction over clearing him for practice and games on Saturday, it's now up to the Browns to determine when and how much he plays.
"I've got no hard emotions or feelings or thoughts about that,'' he said. "That's up to him to decide. It's his team, he's the leader. I want to come in, I want to help this team and organization win any way I can. And any way they seen fit to apply me or put me in this system, that's what I'm going to do.''
Gordon knows he can't control over whether or not the coaches feel they can count on them.
"The only thing you can do is walk it out and live out those actions on a daily basis,'' he said. "I can't make anybody feel any type of way about me. So that's going to be on them. But me, I've got to keep doing me.''
Gordon, who's playing for the third-year veteran minimum of $790,000 this season, isn't worried about getting back his timing and chemistry with Tyrod Taylor.
"We spend a lot of time after practice, in between practice, workouts, talking about what we're going to do in the film room, studying, it never really stops with Tyrod,'' said Gordon. "He's a hard worker and he's instilling that in all of us. It's something we admire and something that's contagious and he's definitely the guy we look towards to pull us in that direction.''
Likewise, he's not coming in cold like he did at the end of 2014 and 2017. He was here for the entire offseason program, including organized team activities and the mandatory minicamp in June.
"It's huge to have that advantage of learning the playbook,'' he said. "Even getting back now, it's almost as if I never left knowing exactly what to do, where to be at. The plays are somewhat similar, the lingo, the verbiage is real familiar. So it's been easy to hop right back in and pick up right where I left off.''
He stopped short of saying he needs football in his life.
"It's a part of what I do, it's not who I am,'' he said. "It's a big part of that and I'm definitely grateful for it, I love it. But you need balance. Too much of one thing outweighing another, it's not healthy for you.''
Still, he's got a burning desire to help the Browns win. That hasn't changed since 2012, when late Browns GM Tom Heckert drafted him in the supplemental draft with a second-round pick. It's just that he's been suspended for 56 of his possible 96 NFL games, and his substance abuse has overshadowed his career.
"As far as from a production standpoint, yes, that's where my passion lies, in bringing wins to Cleveland and getting us to the playoffs and a championship,'' he said. "Hopefully, I'm one of the people at the forefront that get to help do it, whether it's vocally or whether it's out here producing and leading by example.''
Gordon squashed the widely-circulating narrative that he left to avoid the glare of the Hard Knocks cameras.
"I've had my fair share with cameras and interviews and it's alright,'' he said. "Not bad, it's okay.''
Even waiting for him to land at the airport?
"Oh yeah, I mean, it's part of the show,'' he said. "It's part of the business, entertainment. It comes with the territory. It's what I signed up for and that's alright.''
He's eager to share the field with Jarvis Landry, who's taken over the receiver room in Gordon's absence.
"Man, he's a leader, I know that,'' said Gordon. "I don't necessarily even see anything depth chart-wise as ones or twos. To me, it's a group of guys in there as a collective. We're all the same. We're all equals. We share everything. We work together. We grind together. We're going to get excited and celebrate together. If one person does good, we all do good. We're all ones in my eyes.''
Watching the Eagles game from the sidelines, he saw an offense that could use someone like him. And Antonio Callaway (groin). And Duke Johnson, who has yet to catch a pass this preseason.
"Offensively, room to grow,'' he said. "Defensively incredible. Incredible performance across the board, the likes of which I haven't seen before. Amazing, amazing overall just turn of events and a resilient, resilient defense. But offensively we know we have room to get better and we will get better.''
As for himself?
"Always better to come,'' he said.

We are using remediation tickets to track progress. When a team reports that they've fixed a vulnerability, the ticket gets updated to Resolved and we conduct a follow-up scan to confirm the fix. Our process to do this is cumbersome, and I'm wondering if there's a better way. Our current process works like this:
- Create a Search List with the QIDs for the newly-Resolved tickets. To do this, we select and copy the table listing the tickets from the QG UI, then paste it into excel. From there we copy and paste into a Search List.
- Create an Option Profile that uses that Search List
- Configure the Option Profile to scan the specific ports on which the vulnerabilities were reported. In some cases, the ticket doesn't report a specific port, and in those cases we scan all ports. If it's a lot of non-standard ports, we'll go through the same cut-and-paste-via-excel dance.
- Launch a scan that uses the Option Profile we created and targets only the hosts that correspond to the newly-Resolved tickets. Again, more cut-and-paste through excel.
This gets the job done, but it involves a lot of cumbersome cutting-and-pasting and data entry, and it's not hard to for a little data to get lost in the shuffle and left out of the scan. It feels like there should be a better way. For example, I'd love to be able to select the newly-resolved tickets in the UI, and select "Re-Scan" from the Actions menu.
Is there a better way to do this?

Miningco Changes Name, Embarks On New Strategy
Page 1 of 1
Internet guide MiningCo.com Inc. Monday changed its name to About.com Inc. and launched a new site
The company said it renamed itself to reflect its transition from primarily acting as a portal to a network of destinations incorporating original content, search and community at more than 650 topic-specific sites within 18 channels. The service and brand change takes effect Monday. Users who access www.miningco.com will be automatically forwarded to www.about.com.
In addition, the company's new ticker symbol, (Nasdaq: BOUT), is slated to take effect May 20th. Until then, it will continue to trade under the symbol (Nasdaq: MINE).
About.com said its first major marketing campaign will focus on the service's main benefits, professional human Guides, who run sites based on their area of expertise.
"Our users feel connected with the Guides and communities that are relevant to their interests," said Scott Kurnit, About.com's chairman and CEO. "Today we allow them to affiliate themselves with the Guides and GuideSite of their choice and more easily connect with others who share their interests online and offline."
On May 3 the company unveiled its national promotional campaign through TV, print, radio, outdoor, grassroots and online, with the tagline: "Hello, is anybody out there?" The campaign targets user frustration with what the company terms the impersonal nature of Internet properties.
"Unlike any other Internet brand, About.com has real people at the front," said John Caplan, senior vice president of marketing. "Our Guides ensure that any Internet user, regardless of his or her level of experience, can have a successful and fulfilling Internet experience. It's easier, more fun and far more productive to have a relationship with a knowledgeable person than with a robot."
"While 'mining' for information will remain a key part of our business, About.com positions us for the post-portal environment where consumers demand topic-specific destinations that combine search, community and original content," Kurnit said.
"We feel the About.com name better underscores the unique and highly targeted media platform to advertisers and commerce partners, which we feel is the most efficient platform for reaching relevant consumers."

So that, I could maximize the space that, I am using for my craft room, I dye crochet thread. And yarn for knitting. And crocheting mainly. And I have my winding tools for preparing the yarn. And for finishing the yarns. I'm having to constantly move things around to make it fit it's just kind of a challenge to find the room. And you know everything's stored under here. And I have to move things out of the way in order to get to something way back there.
So, I notice over there area looks like over there any large winder yes. I'm down work with that well, I would. But I can't move my arm. So you do already have some storage that's an open shelving you've got bins. And drawers that are kind of out where's to keep my Etsy shop stock takes up a lot of room. So I've got totes everywhere. And I'm, I just need more space to store everything neatly, I think we might be able to help you out all right you okay you guys we've seen the space three words storage storage storage Robin you.

A Clean Start
I like to think I honor God in all aspects of my life. I'm pretty clear about how He wants to me live, and I have been for most of my adult life. Lately, however, I've discovered I've made some choices mindlessly - choices I didn't think God cared much about. And I'm paying for them now.
I'm talking about food choices. I never thought much about my diet, only that I probably ate too much. Like every woman on the planet, I've had moments of "that's it, I'm getting rid of this extra weight. I'm joining the gym, blah, blah, blah." And I've lost 10 or 15 pounds. Then I get lazy, and it all comes back.
In December, I had blood work done that showed I have very high blood markers for rheumatoid arthritis (in addition to fibromyalgia, which I was diagnosed with in May.) This was shocking, as I have no swollen or painful joints - just bad blood work. After getting conflicting reports from rheumatologists in my area, I ended up at the Mayo Clinic in Jacksonville, FL. The doc there suggested I start meds right away, because it looks as though RA is coming.
I did tons of research on RA and read a book called The Inflammation Nation, which was completely eye-opening, and changed my thinking on what I've been eating all my life. RA (and fibro) is an inflammatory disease where the immune system is on overdrive. It's constantly on the attack, which eventually destroys joint tissue. Untreated, or uncorrected, people with RA can end up in wheel chairs.
I'm also reading The Daniel Plan by Rick Warren, a book about honoring God and our bodies by getting back on track with food - eating whole foods, real food, and getting the junk and processed food out of our lives. I well up as I read parts of it because I'm realizing how misguided my eating pattens have been. I've not been fueling my body, but poisoning it with things like sugar and too many carbs and "white trash" like white rice, white bread and white potatoes. I've simply been a mindless eater. Not a conscious one.
I'm praying God will change my thinking on this, because RA is caused by inflammation, which is caused by sugar, the wrong kinds of carbs and "white trash." I didn't know. I'd heard some of these things before, but I didn't have any health issues - until now - so I just figured I was doing OK.
My Mayo doctor told me I have three months to change my diet and see if we can get my blood work back to normal. By the grace of God, I don't have any joint issues yet, and I'm hoping I can turn things around before I do.
So, I gave away the boxed, processed items in my pantry. The bulk of my grocery bill is now produce. I have leaves and sprouts popping out of my 'fridge the moment you open its door. I've discovered I like rutabagas, pea shoots, parsnips, bok choy and Japanese sweet potatoes, things I never tried before. I've learned I don't like turnips and will not be buying those again. I try to have some form of kale every day.
In overhauling my diet, I've realized this is a spiritual journey for me. Eating was an area of my life I never asked God about. Rick Warren sums up the problem in one sentence: Dedicate your body to God. Period.
If I do that - daily - I will eat properly. I will feed my body with what it needs to stay strong and healthy. The Daniel Plan reminds me that my body does not belong to me. It was purchased at a price, and God gave it to me to use in the service of others. This never hit me so hard as it has recently. God has given me a wake up call, and I pray I correct my course. My family is supportive, for which I'm so grateful.
I found a great cook book called Clean Start (you can read about that HERE) that I'm working my way through, and I've found many recipes we are enjoying. There are even a couple treats included that are pretty good.
I have not had a life-changing event such as this in many years, and I regret I did not pay attention to my diet 20 years ago. Thankfully, we have a God who gives us second chances.

Wow, powerful stuff, Mare! I have always been pretty conscious of what I eat- the good and the bad- but I still have plenty of room for improvement. One of my favorite veggies/proteins is edamame (soybeans in the pod)- if you haven't tried it yet, put it on your list. I can usually only find it in the frozen food section. Our whole family loves it! My 5-year-old eats it like it's candy.ReplyDelete
I also love quinoa and brown rice, and I even enjoy getting the whole wheat berries and cooking them like rice. Oh, and don't forget to embrace the wonders of local honey- very good for your immune system (and your sweet tooth). I look forward to finding out more about your clean eating journey on your blog- it helps me get inspired to do better!
Hey Kasey! I do love edamame too. I do need to look for local honey, great idea. I'll have to look for whole wheat berries - one more thing I've not heard of. Thank you, thank you!ReplyDelete
Mare, that is great. I am a big fan of healthy eating. Three cheers for fruits and veggies. Good luck.ReplyDelete
I do like Mare and because I do I follower herReplyDelete

Since I get to read what all of my other blogging friends are thankful for on Thursdays, thought I would get on board and share my blessings! I'll try to upload a nice little graphic between now and next Thursday! Here goes:
1. My family, of course! I have a great husband and 3 amazing children.
2. My extended family. I am so grateful to have a wonderful relationship with my parents, my step-parents, my in-laws, my siblings, and so many neices and nephews! And they all live locally!
3. My friends. I've been known to be extremely merciful and maintain friendships even when, for my own good, I probably shouldn't. I can truly say that at this point in my life, I know what my TRUE friendships are. Those that fall into that category are precious to me!
4. My church. I am so thankful for a great church. We're blessed to have a pastor that we can trust. For me personally, I can trust him because he is honest with the congregation. He doesn't pretend to be perfect and is quick to point out his own weaknesses and temptations. That's refreshing!
5. A Christian school to send my children to. I'm so thankful that we have a school only 10 minutes from my house where my children can learn all that they need academically, while reinforcing the spiritual things we are teaching at home. Noah came home from school yesterday telling us that he wanted to have special family time, sitting on the couch while Daddy reads the Bible.

Currency System in India
Currency System in India – Learn all about the new currency system in India.
Currency System in India
Current Affairs forms an important part of all competitive exams like SSC, IBPS, etc. And RBI is going to release new 10 rupee notes soon, as per an official notification. These new 10 rupee notes will bear the signature of Dr. Urjit R. Patel. Before this, they had introduced new 50 rupee notes. In this post, we will explain the Currency System in India. So, let us discuss all of them one by one.
Demonetization Changes
- On 8th November 2016, the Government of India demonetized old 500 and 1000 rupee notes, with the aim of ending corruption.
- After that, 200 and 50 rupee notes were released.
- And soon, RBI will launch the new 10 rupee note.
Printing Expense
- 1,695.7 crore pieces of Rs. 500 denomination notes cost Rs. 4,968.84 crore.
- 365.4 crore pieces of Rs. 2000 denomination notes cost Rs. 1,293.6 crore.
- 178 crore pieces of Rs. 200 denomination notes cost Rs. 522.83 crore.
New 10 Rupee Note
- New color- chocolate brown.
- Height – 63 mm, Width – 109 mm
- Motif of Konark Sun Temple on the back
New 50, 200, 500, and 200 Rupee Note
- The new 50 rupee note is fluorescent blue in color. It also has a motif of Hampi with Chariot plus the Swachh Bharat logo and slogan.
- And the new 200 rupee note is yellow in color. It features the motif of the Sanchi Stupa in Madhya Pradesh. Furthermore, it also has a raised identification mark H with micro-text Rs 200, four angular bleed lines with two circles in between the lines both on the right and left sides. This has been designed to aid the visually impaired people to help detect fake notes.
- 2000 rupee note was introduced in 2016. And it has a magenta color. On the back side, there is a motif of Mangalyaan. Furthermore, it also has a rectangle with Rs. 2000 in raised print on right as well as seven angular bleed lines in raised print to aid the visually impaired.
- There is a motif of the Red Fort on the new stone-grey 500 rupee note. It also has a circle with Rs. 500 in raised print on the right as well as five angular bleed lines in raised print to aid the visually impaired.

text: Experts estimate that more than 60% of corporate theft is internal Unfortunately, many entities consider theft as a "cost of doing business, or shrinkage." For over seventeen years Mulholland Investigation has investigated hundreds of thefts. The disheartening common feedback from clients is: I never suspected a long-time trusted employee would do that. Our investigations have uncovered thefts of many products, but the one item that is so frequently overlooked is: TIME. When employees steal time they damage the bottom line. The adage that employees don't do what you expect, they do what you inspect, rings true when addressing the issue of malingering. Documenting employees not performing tasks in an efficient manner can actually boost morale. Hard working, loyal employees are frequently disenchanted by malingerers who are not called to task for poor performance. Another disturbing finding is the malingering employees are collaborating with outside elements to misappropriate or steal company resources. Company vehicles are frequently abused and utilized for purposes outside the scope of authorized use. Conducting periodic inspections of tasks and employees working remotely or with minimal direct supervision will yield bottom-line benefits.

I've had some luck finding some really unique nail polishes lately! This Revlon Rebel Graffiti top coat is like nothing I've seen before, but in full disclosure I do live in a small town and we don't always get everything here. I've also been on a unique topcoat kick lately, as I like the versatility of one polish making all your others new again! I found this on sale on a shopping excursion out of town and I knew it would become an instant favourite!
Revlon Graffiti is a speckled top coat with a clear base and a smattering of non sparkly black and white bits. There are round dots, larger hexagons, some bar type glitters and even some tiny black and white micro glitters. It looks awesome! Kind of reminds me of the speckles on an egg shell, or paint splatters on an artist's well used drop cloth. It also makes me think of granite, in a way.
Shown here, 2 coats on my thumbnail to see what it looks like by itself, pretty cool.
Shown here as 1 coat over top of Yves Rocher Rouge Grenadine I reviewed here.
Shown as 2 coats over the same.
And shown in indoor lighting as well.
Revlon Graffiti dries as fast as you would expect out of a glitter, and doesn't feel so rough to the touch that it's annoying. It is big 3 free, and is 0.5oz/14.7ml in a bottle. Found this for $3.97 at Superstore in Canada, where regular price is $6-7. I think I'll try it over grey next for a more subtle look, maybe something like the granite it reminds me of! Revlon Graffiti is easily in my top 5 favourite polishes right now! What do you think it would look good over?
Enjoy your day!

Why would we hug ourselves? Is this an absurd idea? Maybe what I mean is something akin to, "have you received your hug today?" And if so, have you given someone else a hug today–all of which is just another way of saying, "have you taken care of yourself today?"
One of the things researchers, animal behaviorists and scientists know is that for primates, especially chimpanzees and bonobos–to whom we are most closely related–hugging is an integral part in the giving and seeking out comfort and affection. Ask any woman, and she will say "we don't turn on like lightbulbs–we need slow and steady affection." Often that affection is expressed by hugs–rather than solely by the very different sexual intimacy.
As promised, for those of you who are interested, here is the article on dogs and hugging in Mother Nature Network
I came from a family of huggers: I was hugged a lot when I was a child by both my mother and father, and I even welcomed those hugs, when they were appropriate, from both of them when I was a teen and young adult. When my mother killed herself shortly after my twenty-first birthday, one of the things I missed the most were those hugs from her. When my father died two years back, I felt a real loss, and one of the aspects of that loss was the cessation of his hugs. My sister and I hug long and hard when we see each other, especially because we live on either sides of the country and telephone calls are about all we have as a form of communication. But when we write emails, we often sign them "hugs to you.'
When I first dated my current husband, Brad, I was relying on the dog of my heart, Gulliver, to provide all my hugs. I had been deserted by my ex-husband, and my kids were teenagers who were not so willing to hug me anymore. I always felt as if I were dragging it out of them–not a good feeling for one's self-esteem. One of the reasons I fell into such a deep depression at that time (as I describe in Half in Love: Surviving the Legacy of Suicide) was because I was alone: metaphorically speaking, I had no one to hug and no one to hug me. No physical affection or support.
When I met Brad for the first time, he was overwhelmingly accepted by Gulliver on our first meeting after they had hugged one another–Brad dropping to one knee to embrace my very enthusiastic but previously extremely picky Dalmatian when it came to the guys who rang our doorbell ready to take me out. (see Bespotted for the full story!) At the conclusion of that first date, Brad walked me to my car, and rather than trying to kiss me–which would have seemed too forward and overwhelming–he merely held his arms out and I stepped into them, needy for a hug, ready for a hug, craving a hug from this very nice empathetic man who seemed to understand so well what I was going through.
And so our relationship grew. To this day, I refer to this kind of hug as a "Brad Hug" because it is a special embrace that speaks to what I need most: physical affection, and when I hug him back it is almost as if I am hugging myself for a moment. I am taking care of myself by allowing him in.
Hugs are a way of keeping us going, and of making sure we love ourselves. So hug someone else today, and don't forget to hug yourself!

Last minute request issued for Toys for Tots
Toys for Tots is accepting donations for underprivileged children in Jones County still, but time is running out for families to sign up and volunteers are still needed to help the organization make Christmas miracles come true.
Shana Johnson, the campaign coordinator for Toys for Tots in Jones County, said the toy drop is her favorite part about helping out with the organization. She said helping the families is a way to lift some weight off their shoulders.
"Toys for Tots is supported by the Marine Corps and is a national foundation that provides kids with Christmas gifts, so we collect new, unwrapped toys," she said. "We have collection boxes set up throughout the community and you can make monetary donations on the website, too."
Johnson said families need to continue to submit applications online as soon as they can for their children to receive toys. She said the deadline was Dec. 1, but families still have until around Dec. 10 to submit an application. She said she wants families to get last minute applications in as soon as possible.
"The only time we really deny an application is if they are not in our area. Everything that is raised in Jones County, stays in Jones County. We just ask that the community step up and help because there are families out there that need this help," Johnson said.
The last time Johnson checked there were around 575 children in Jones County that need gifts, but she said she is still getting applications in so there will be more by Christmas time. Once the application is approved, the parent will get a message to come pick up their toys.
"We try to do our very best to match the toy to the child. If they have a girl, we need to know the age range and we ask if they are a girly girl or a tomboy," the coordinator said.
Joy Carr said her favorite part about helping with Toys for Tots in Jones County is witnessing the giving and receiving. She said she feels that is what Christmas is all about.
"The community support has been tremendous. It was fun last year watching volunteers. To see a volunteer go around and contemplate what to give each child is wonderful. They don't even know the child they are going to be giving that to, but it's just the Christmas spirit," she said.
Carr said the organization needs baby toys and three years old to five years old toys the most at the moment. She said giving anything at all to make a child's Christmas a bit brighter is a wonderful and loving thing.
"At our Labor Day event at Ace, where we were raising money, the first lady that came by and gave us money said we really helped her out last year," Carr said. "She said she wasn't able to do as much for Christmas then and she wanted to give this year. That's the whole point of this."
Toys for Tots in Jones County is still looking for volunteers to help make the packaging of the toys go faster and smoother. Johnson said people can check out the website at https://gray-ga.toysfortots.org/local-coordinator-sites/lco-sites/local-volunteer-form.aspx to find out how to sign up.
For people who want to help out with donations, Johnson said they can go through https://www.facebook.com/jonescountytoysfortots/ or https://gray-ga.toysfortots.org/local-coordinator-sites/lco-sites/default.aspx.

My laboratory is interested in fungal genomics.
In particular we use genomic sequencing of fungal strains and species in comparative analysis. Starting with the sequencing of Saccharomyces cerevisiae strain S288C, I have been involved in the genome sequencing and annotation of Ashbya gossypii, Cryptococcus neoformans var. grubii and ~100 additional S. cerevisiae strains. We currently use Illumina paired end and mate paired sequencing, as this is at presently the most cost effective widely used technology capable of generating high accuracy, zero gap whole genome sequences. The 100-genomes S. cerevisiae data as well as the fully updated fully annotated A. gossypii sequence (Genbank numbers AE016814-AE016820), which spans all seven chromosomes from telomere to telomere, were generated using Illumina data. In my laboratory we strive to utilize comparative genomics data to understand aspects of basic fungal biology. Some of our specific areas of interest are filamentous growth, mapping of complex traits, horizontal gene transfer, and identification of RNA coding genes. This work involves a combination of experimental work and bioinformatics analysis. Research in S. cerevisiae has greatly benefitted from an accurate, annotated S. cerevisiae reference genome, and that research into the tremendous diversity in this organism will similarly benefit from the availability of a large number of accurate, fully annotated genome sequences. The use of genomic information to better understand the biology of these organisms, and this is what students in my laboratory generally work on.
What is the set of genes found in a pathogenic fungus such as Cryptococcus?
Our interest in this human pathogen is to expand beyond looking at one isolate and to investigate the diversity in the population. Are there genes found in some Cryptococcus neoformans isolates but not in others? Are there regions of the genome or individual genes which are highly diverged between Cryptococcus isolates? Efforts are now underway at Stanford University to sequence the genome of the JEC21 strain of Cryptococcus. This is a strain that has been agreed upon by the community of Cryptococcus researchers as a reference strain. Obtaining the DNA sequence of this strain is only the start however. From that sequence identifying the complete set of genes will be a considerable challenge requiring both bioinformatic as well as experimental tools. While this work on gene identification is going on we plan on addressing the question of how much do other Cryptococcus isolates differ from JEC21.
What is the set of genes in humans?
The complete DNA sequence of human and mouse will become available soon. This does not mean that we will know the complete set of human or mouse genes. Our current state of knowledge does not allow us to accurately predict human genes directly from DNA sequence. We are interested in applying to the human genome some of the experimental and bioinformatic tools we are developing and utilizing in fungal systems.
