Some species invest a lot of energy in raising their young, in order to improve offspring condition and survival. This parental care requires optimal communication to guarantee the optimal transfer of resources. Elaborate offspring solicitation behaviour, also called begging, can be observed in several species of birds and insects. This signal can be acoustic, visual or postural and aims to trigger parental provisioning. Even though parental provisioning is essential for offspring development and survival, it comes at a cost to the parents. Due to a relatedness asymmetry, parents and offspring rate these costs differently, creating a number of conflicts of interest about the amount of resources to be invested.
Indeed, each offspring is more related to itself than to its parents, and is thus selected to demand more resources than their parents are selected to give. Begging may then serve as a mean to manipulate the parents and should thus come with a cost in order to ensure its honesty (according to the handicap principal). Quantifying costs of begging empirically has proven to be difficult. The evolutionary trajectory of begging and parental provisioning is not only influenced by a parent-offspring conflict; it is also an example of social selection, since begging and parental provisioning reciprocally influence each other. They are both targets and agents of selection, and thus have been hypothesized to coevolve and potentially become ultimately genetically correlated. Indeed if both behaviours covary and a certain form of parental provisioning and offspring performance leads to a higher fitness benefit, individuals carrying both traits should be selected.
Besides, in broods with more than one offspring, each offspring is in competition with its siblings. Each nestling is more related to itself than to its siblings, and evolution favours selfish behaviours that lead to a greater individual share of resources. However, an optimal begging strategy will also depend on the competitive abilities of the siblings as well as their need, and thus the likelihood of obtaining food. Taking their social environment (i.e. their siblings) into account is thus crucial for the offspring in order to optimise its begging behaviour. This may lead to cooperation or negotiation between siblings which both lower the cost of sibling conflict. Yet examples of such strategies are rather limited and it is not clear what kind of selective pressure would favour one strategy over another.
Since the parents are the resource holders, their response and feeding decisions will be the ultimate selection force. Parental feeding decisions are also complicated by a conflict of interest, i.e. a sexual conflict over the amount of parental investment. When two parents contribute to parental care, they are typically unrelated. Thus the benefits (offspring growth and survival) of care depend on the investments of both parents, while each individual only paying the cost of their own contribution. So it may be in each parent's interest to have its mate investing more into care than itself. One consequence of this conflict is that both parents are more reluctant to provide care in order to avoid exploitation by its mate. Negotiation that facilitates coordinated parental behaviour may be the key to ease the cost of this conflict. Since success of begging is ultimately dependant of the willingness of the parent to provide care, the outcome of this conflict has consequences for the offspring.
Taken together, this thesis aims to improve our understanding of the evolutionary trajectory of begging, taking the complex social environment that is shaped by parents and siblings into account.
First, I applied a bidirectional artificial selection on begging using Fife fancy canaries (Serinus canaria) as a model species. After three generations of selection, offspring of the high begging and low begging line significantly differed in their begging behaviour. Interestingly, nestlings of the low begging line grew significantly faster than before the selection, and couples of the low begging line increased the number of fledglings they produced. Thus, there is a clear advantage to begging less. This result suggests that before selection, begging is an exaggerated offspring signal and parents seem to counterbalance the cost of a high demanding brood by using brood reduction. The total costs of care for the parents thus remain rather constant, given the interplay between the number of offspring and the offspring's demands.
Yet, I did not find any evidence for genetic correlation between offspring begging and parental provisioning as parental provisioning was not different between the two lines, indicating that it was not coselected.
However, it has been shown previously that parental provisioning and offspring begging covary. Since I found no genetic correlation between these two behaviours, I focussed on behavioural plasticity as a potential mechanism underlying the covariation between offspring begging and parental provisioning, which had been observed repeatedly.
To this end, I measured parent-offspring interactions at two levels of nestling hunger, which allowed me to take a behavioural reaction norm and (co)variance partitioning approach. The latter enabled me to disentangle covariances at a between-nest level that are indicative for genetic or permanent maternal effects (i.e. fixed strategy), as well as the covariances at the within-nest level which describe the parts of the phenotypic covariation that are related to responsiveness/plasticity (i.e. conditional strategy). My experiment showed that the phenotypic covariance was mainly driven by behavioural responsiveness. This indicates that parental- and offspring behaviours covary at the phenotypic level, because of a plastic behavioural coadjustment in response to one another.
Since I showed that parents and offspring adjust their behaviour to each other, I then focussed on sibling competition in order to determine the influence of sibling hunger and condition on begging strategies. I performed two experiments: the first one was a satiation experiment with captive canaries, and the second a food deprivation experiment using the wild blue tits (Cyanistes caeruleus). In canary nestlings, I found that only female nestlings responded honestly, begging significantly less when satiated. Male nestlings, on the contrary, did not alter their begging according to their own level of satiation. Nestlings only weakly responded to the need of their siblings, even though that could lower the cost of sibling competition, and again only female nestlings did so by reducing their begging when their sibling was satiated. Thus, in canaries female nestlings appeared to be more sensitive to both intrinsic need as well as changes in their social environment.
Blue tit nestlings increased their begging duration in response to the elevated, experimentally-induced hunger levels. Again, I found a differential begging strategy, this time according to the position within the brood size hierarchy. While the lightest nestlings did not modulate their begging level as a function of sibling hunger, I found - opposite to what I expected - that heavier nestlings significantly increased their begging when lighter nestlings were food deprived. However, in both cases (lighter and heavier nestlings' strategies) instead of adjusting their begging according to their nestling need (in order to reduce the sibling conflict), nestlings either did not adjust their begging or increased the competition. So in both experiments, I did not find evidence of a cooperative begging strategy to reduce the costs of sibling competition. Intriguingly, despite some potentially manipulative signals, parents fed accurately, with hungrier nestlings receiving more food in both cases.
Finally, I studied a recently suggested behavioural mechanism about how parents coordinate their investment in an attempt to resolve their sexual conflict. Such coordinated behaviour may well be hampered, given that parental care is often (1) multidimensional, (2) sex-specific, and (3) temporally variable. Canaries showed a clear division of tasks between males and females in (among others) provisioning, brooding, and foraging. These task specialisations faded with increasing nestling age. When parental tasks became more similar, the degree of alternated feeding visits, which represent a form of conditional cooperation, also increased. Such cooperation is thought to benefit offspring development, but this was not supported by our data. Thus, the interpretation of alternation as a mechanism of conditional cooperation critically depends on the division and specialisation of parental tasks, and the ultimate benefits have yet to be shown.
Thus, my PhD project improves our understanding of the evolutionary and ecological aspects of begging. First of all, it showed that behavioural plasticity and responsiveness are potentially the central components of parent-offspring coevolution. Furthermore, begging appeared to be a complex multidimensional trait that could be manipulative in certain contexts. This view is supported by the artificial selection experiment, suggesting that begging in its current form represents an exaggerated offspring signal. Besides, nestlings did not adjust their begging in an altruistic way, as they did not retreat from competition when their siblings were needier and even increased the sibling competition by increasing their begging. This increased signalling within competition might also be a cause for exaggeration of the offspring's signal. Finally, different offspring begging strategies can be found not just within the same species but, interestingly, even within the same nest. This means that one strategy may be optimal in a certain context or for a certain condition but not in another. Evolution of begging behaviour is thus complicated by the coexistence of several optimal strategies.

From Annie Mole's blog about London's Underground Tube Blog:
If being green is rewarded with playfulness, fun, empowerment and some kind of status for doing it and if we see simple little things that we can all do, I think green initiatives will have a much greater chance of success.
You'll see from my cube that I wondered if anyone was talking to the rail companies and TfL about all this. How could people who didn't use the Tube be encouraged to use it when we all know what a hot smelly rubbish and overcrowded form of transport it is? Could my Oystercard usage give me discounts off my residents permit parking or car tax / MOT?
I have no idea what an Oystercard or MOT is. Still the point is universal. Make it a wow experience to go green. Make it fun, add a swing at Amtrak stations, Lord knows on Train 6, the San Francisco Zephyr, the delays could be spent doing something fun. Add a presentation in the club car on how each passenger is reducing their carbon footprint, make them proud, create some status for their role as passengers in lowering carbon emissions. Give 'em a handout or badge or something to show their friends how cool they are for riding Amtrak, being green and reducing their carbon footprint.
I blogged that Rail is the Future in coming decades. But the driver for that growth was negative: rising gas prices, rising air fares, horribly unpleasant air travel experiences. Why not incorporate some positive motivators for going green?
You can take a horse to water, but you can't make it drink. They will drink if it tastes good. Same with going green. You can bring us to look at measures of carbon footprints and dire predictions for our future. Or you can make going green in our personal lives an adventure, a wow, personally rewarding, an experience we can share with others...

Shamanic Journeys are for those who want to activate their inner healer, hold space for other's healing and want to identify and develop their own abilities within their spiritual DNA structure. It's for those who are tired of the same surface conversations and are ready to discuss subjects that are out of reach within the "normal" parameters of our present societal norms.
My healing and activation journey is a beautiful landscape of universal expansion. Becoming activated daily as I surrender, show up and receive. My airy nature allows me to channel that energy through sound healing and bodywork.
Virgil is a Shamanic clairvoyant in that he sees colors and animals and able to relay their medicinal messages.

etravel replied to js's topic in Norwegian Cruise LineWe also are booking the Haven (H9 Haven Spa Balcony) from the get go..and since those are limited in number, we feel like it best to book as far out as possible to secure that type of cabin...We like that we are getting a nice cabin in the Haven, and being able to enjoy the Thermal suites as well! Did the same type of suite on the Getaway last year...Right now on our sailing of the Encore in May 2020, the H9's are sold out...So we are happy with our rate and will just continue to monitor it in case any better rates happen to come up..I have never been lucky at gambling so feel better to go with the sure thing! We love the services of the Haven and are looking forward to sailing on the new ship!

etravel replied to jdmcmellon's topic in Norwegian Cruise LineWhen we were on Getaway, we loved dining in the Haven restaurant...food was awesome and matched by excellent service! It's so much more personal than the MDR..and they all knew our names by about the second day! We like to do the 3 specialty dining choice so we do get some variety...then we enjoy the Haven restaurant on the other nights..It feels like a good balance...So hope you really enjoy the Haven restaurant!
Encore Dining
etravel replied to cruisekitty22's topic in Norwegian Cruise LineI'm with you FLAHAM, hoping for something new and exciting!
NCL vs Carnival
etravel replied to WandNVacations's topic in Norwegian Cruise LineWe really enjoyed the Haven on the Getaway and are looking at doing the new Encore in the Haven next May headed for Bermuda (which we have never done). Did the Haven Spa suite, which has the awesome unlimited access to the Thermal Spa suites...loved that for cloudy days, etc! Plus I feel like NCL is really outstanding with the entertainment and looking forward to seeing the Broadway show, Kinky Boots plus Choir of Man and so on...Enjoyed all of the perks the Haven had to offer, and don't really think Carnival can compare at this point...
Are the Atlantic waters rough for a cruise over to Bermuda?Oh dear, so might be a risk, but as some say here you never know! Sure do want to go on the new NCL Encore and see Bermuda so I think we probably will!!!
Are the Atlantic waters rough for a cruise over to Bermuda?going to do a Haven Spa.but I think they are up on a higher deck...going at the very end of May so maybe it will be more like June weather....lol, if luck is with us!
Are the Atlantic waters rough for a cruise over to Bermuda?Thanks again Charles...yes, we are looking at the Encore and I may try for the last week in May, gets me a little closer to June! I do like warmer water though, so that is a consideration!
Are the Atlantic waters rough for a cruise over to Bermuda?Charles...thanks for your info..we are looking at May, but who knows I guess about how the conditions might be!
Are the Atlantic waters rough for a cruise over to Bermuda?Hello...we are considering the NCL Encore from NYC to Bermuda next May...have done several Caribbean cruises where generally the waters were very smooth....have heard off and on that the crossing from NY to Bermuda is often a rough ride! Hoping not, b/c really interested in Bermuda and the NCL Encore! Any thoughts or experiences to share? Thanks!
Passau VS excursion to Cesky Krumlov
etravel posted a topic in River CruisingTrying to decide on our Avalon Legendary Danube cruise whether to chill out and do some sightseeing right in Passau where we dock..looks like some interesting sights...or to take the full day excursion to Cesky Kromlov which we hear so many good things about?! We are doing quite a few excursions, which is what has me thinking about staying close or whether to take the drive to see Cesky Kromlov...tough to decide! Is there plenty to see in Passau or would we be giving up on our chance to see Cesky? Thanks!

Pizzagate troll Mike Cernovich, who has famously bragged that his manly jism is so supremely powerful that women uncontrollably crave it, also apparently fancies himself to be a literal sorcerer. (Wizard? Warlock?)
Jared Holt reports at Right Wing Watch:
"Everything I do is alchemy. That's why I believe in magic. Not black magic, not the satanic magic that they practice in Hollywood and that the deep state practices and that the media practice. I believe in good magic, light magic, alchametic magic," Cernovich said.
"Alchametic magic is 'How do I create something out of nothing purely through manifesting my will through power and light, which is value.' That's white magic. That's alchametic magic."
Cernovich went on to explain that he believed the turn of phrase "emotional vampire," which refers to people that others perceive to be emotionally draining or unpleasant to those around them, is a form of "black magic and that is the magic that is taught by our culture."
"Whether you know it or not, you're practicing magic," Cernovich said, "but you're practicing the dark, demonic magic—the parasitic magic."
Cernovich goes on to explain that "dark magic" is the reason why the deep state and Hollywood are completely controlled by pedophiles. Uh huh.

The lectin pathway of complement is activated when a carbohydrate recognition complex and associated serine proteases binds to the surface of a pathogen. Three recognition subcomponents have been shown to form active initiation complexes: mannan-binding lectin (MBL), L-ficolin, and H-ficolin. The importance of MBL in antimicrobial host defense is well recognized, but the role of the ficolins remains largely undefined. This report shows that L-ficolin specifically binds to lipoteichoic acid (LTA), a cell wall component found in all Gram-positive bacteria. Immobilized LTA from Staphylococcus aureus binds L-ficolin complexes from sera, and these complexes initiate lectin pathway-dependent C4 turnover. C4 activation correlates with serum L-ficolin concentration, but not with serum MBL levels. L-ficolin binding and corresponding levels of C4 turnover were observed on LTA purified from other clinically important bacteria, including Streptococcus pyogenes and Streptococcus agalactiae. None of the LTA preparations bound MBL, H-ficolin, or the classical pathway recognition molecule, C1q.
The lectin pathway of complement activation provides an essential route of innate antimicrobial host defense. Activation of the lectin pathway occurs in response to carbohydrate structures present on microbial surfaces and is initiated through multimolecular fluid-phase complexes composed of a carbohydrate recognition subcomponent and the lectin pathway serine protease, mannan-binding lectin-associated serine protease-2 (MASP-2).3 Three different carbohydrate recognition subcomponents that form complexes and activate complement via MASP-2 have been described: mannan-binding lectin (MBL), L-ficolin, and H-ficolin (previously described as Hakata Ag) (1, 2, 3, 4). All recognition subcomponents consist of homotrimers of a single polypeptide chain with an N-terminal collagen-like domain, a neck region, and a C-terminal carbohydrate-binding domain (5). In MBL, this carbohydrate recognition domain is a classical C-type lectin domain, while the carbohydrate recognition domains of ficolins show a fibrinogen-like domain structure. In plasma, the recognition subcomponents are present as higher-order oligomers of the homotrimeric subunits that form complexes with MASP-2 and two other serine proteases, MASP-1 and MASP-3, to compose a lectin pathway activation complex (6, 7, 8, 9). Of these, only MASP-2 was shown to translate the binding of lectin pathway complexes to microbial carbohydrates into activation of complement by cleavage of C4 and C4b bound C2 (8, 10, 11, 12). It has been shown that MBL binds to a range of clinically important microorganisms including fungi, viruses, and both Gram-negative and Gram-positive bacteria (13, 14). In contrast, little is known about the binding specificities of the ficolins. H-ficolin was shown to bind to Staphylococcus typhimurium, Salmonella minnesota, and Escherichia coli (15), while L-ficolin was shown to activate the lectin pathway after binding to S. typhimurium (16). This is the first report that identifies a defined cell wall constituent of Gram-positive bacteria, namely lipoteichoic acid (LTA), to be specifically recognized by a lectin pathway recognition subcomponent. LTA is increasingly regarded as the Gram-positive counterpart of LPS. It is a potent immunostimulant that induces cytokine release from mononuclear phagocytes and whole blood (17, 18). We demonstrate that the L-ficolin-LTA interaction initiates an innate anti-microbial immune response by triggering the lectin pathway of complement activation.
Materials and Methods
Unless otherwise stated, all reagents were obtained from Sigma-Aldrich (St. Louis, MO). Sera were collected from healthy volunteers, with the approval of the institutional ethical review board, and were assayed for MBL as described by Haurum et al. (19). C1q-depleted serum was prepared from pooled normal human serum (NHS) using protein A-coupled Dynabeads (Dynal Biotech, Oslo, Norway) coated with rabbit anti-human C1q IgG (DAKO, Glostrup, Denmark), according to the supplier's instructions. L-ficolin and L-ficolin/MASP complexes were purified from human serum as previously described (16), and their concentrations were determined using a proprietary Lowry assay kit (Sigma-Aldrich). PSA, a polysaccharide produced by Aerococcus viridans, was prepared as previously described (20). Formalin-fixed Staphylococcus aureus DSM20233 were prepared as follows: bacteria were grown overnight at 37°C in tryptic soy blood medium, washed three times with PBS, then fixed for 1 h at room temperature in PBS/0.5% formalin, and washed a further three times with PBS, before being resuspended in 15 mM Na2CO3, 35 mM NaHCO3, pH 9.6 (coating buffer).
Extraction and purification of LTA
Pure LTA, free from endotoxin and other contaminants, was purified from cell extracts of S. aureus (DSM20233), Bacillus subtilis (DSM1087), Bifidobacterium animalis (MB254), Streptococcus pyogenes (GAS), and two clinical isolates of Streptococcus agalactiae (GBS 6313 and GBS COH1), as previously described (21). The purity of the LTA was greater than 99%, according to nuclear magnetic resonance and mass spectrometry.
C4 cleavage assay
Lectin pathway activation was quantified using the C4 cleavage assay developed by Petersen et al. (22). Briefly, the wells of a Nunc MaxiSorb microtiter plate (Nalge Nunc International, Rochester, NY) were coated with: 100 μl of formalin-fixed S. aureus DSM20233 (OD550 = 0.5) in coating buffer, 1 μg of the H-ficolin-specific mAb 4H5 (4) in coating buffer, 1 μg of mannan in coating buffer, 1 μg LTA in 100 μl of coating buffer, or 2 μg of LTA in 20 μl of methanol. After overnight incubation, wells were blocked with 0.1% human serum albumin (HSA) in TBS (10 mM Tris-Cl, 140 mM NaCl, pH 7.4), then washed with TBS containing 0.05% Tween 20 and 5 mM CaCl2 (wash buffer). Serum samples or purified L-ficolin/MASP complexes were diluted in 20 mM Tris-Cl, 1 M NaCl, 10 mM CaCl2, 0.05% Triton X-100, 0.1% HSA, pH 7.4, which prevents activation of endogenous C4 and dissociates the C1 complex (composed of C1q, C1r, and C1s). The diluted samples were added to the plate and incubated overnight at 4°C. The next day, the plates were washed thoroughly with wash buffer, then 0.1 μg of purified human C4 (23) in 100 μl of 4 mM barbital, 145 mM NaCl, 2 mM CaCl2, 1 mM MgCl2, pH 7.4, was added to each well. After 1.5 h at 37°C, the plates were washed again, and C4b deposition was detected using alkaline phosphatase-conjugated chicken anti-human C4c (Immunsystem, Uppsala, Sweden) and the colorimetric substrate p-nitrophenyl phosphate.
Solid-phase binding assays
Nunc Maxisorb microtiter plates were coated with LTA, mannan, mAb 4H5, or formalin-fixed S. aureus as described above, PSA from A. viridans (2 μg/well in coating buffer), 1 μg/well of the L-ficolin-specific mAb GN4 (3), or immune complexes generated in situ by coating with BSA (1 μg/well in coating buffer), then adding rabbit anti-BSA (2 μg/ml in wash buffer). Wells were blocked with 300 μl of 0.1% HSA in TBS for 1.5 h at room temperature, then washed with wash buffer. Serum samples or purified L-ficolin-MASP complexes were diluted in 100 μl of 10 mM Tris-Cl, 140 mM NaCl, 2 mM CaCl2, 0.05% Triton X-100, 0.1% HSA, pH 7.4, added to the plates and incubated overnight at 4°C. After washing, bound proteins were detected using rabbit anti-human L-ficolin IgG (24), rabbit anti-human H-ficolin antiserum (18), or goat anti-human C1q (Atlantic Abs, Stillwater, MN). Secondary Abs were alkaline phosphatase-conjugated goat anti-rabbit IgG or rabbit anti-goat IgG, as appropriate, and bound Ab was detected using the colorimetric substrate p-nitrophenyl phosphate. For negative controls, the primary Ab was omitted or replaced with preimmune rabbit IgG, rabbit serum, or goat serum. A standard serum was included on each plate to allow cross-plate normalization of the results.
L-ficolin ELISA
Nunc Maxisorb microtiter plates were coated with 1 μg/well mAb GN4 in coating buffer. Wells were blocked, diluted serum samples added, and L-ficolin detected using rabbit anti-human L-ficolin IgG (24), as described in Solid-phase binding assays.
Flow cytometry
One hundred microliters of S. aureus DSM20233 (freshly isolated; OD600 = 1.4) were suspended in Veronal-buffered saline supplemented with 0.1% gelatin, 2 mM CaCl2, and 0.5 mM MgCl2 (GVB) and spun down. The pellets were incubated at 37°C for 30 min with 20 μl of purified L-ficolin (2 μg/ml) in the presence of various concentrations of LTA, and then washed three times with GVB. The washed cells were then incubated on ice for 30 min with 20 μl of F(ab′)2 (100 μg/ml) of the anti-human L-ficolin mAb 2F5 (16) and stained on ice for 30 min with 20 μl of FITC-conjugated anti-mouse Igs F(ab′)2 (100 μg/ml; DAKO). The cells were washed twice with GVB between each reaction. Reactivities were evaluated by FACSCalibur 4A flow cytometry (BD Biosciences, Mountain View, CA). F(ab′)2 of the murine anti-human l-ficolin Ab mAb 2F5 (IgG1) were generated by pepsin cleavage using a proprietary kit (Pierce Biotechnology, Rockford, IL).
A C4 cleavage assay that monitors complement activation via the lectin pathway was used to determine serum responses to very pure LTA preparations derived from the cell wall of S. aureus strain DSM 20233. As shown in Figs. 1⇓, A and B, lectin pathway-mediated C4 cleavage occurred in both MBL-sufficient and MBL-deficient (MBL ≤ 50 ng/ml) sera, suggesting that MBL was not the recognition molecule involved in LTA-dependent complement activation. Similar results were obtained using recalcified plasma in place of serum (data not shown). Moreover, depletion of C1q had no effect on the ability of serum to activate C4 in response to S. aureus LTA in this assay (Fig. 1⇓A). A sensitive MBL-binding assay detected as little as 50 ng/ml MBL when ELISA wells were coated with mannan, but no MBL binding was detected when wells were coated with LTA from DSM20233 (data not shown). L-ficolin binding to LTA could be demonstrated with all of the sera tested and the level of C4 activation correlated closely with the concentration of L-ficolin in the sera (Fig. 1⇓C). There was no corresponding correlation with the MBL concentrations in these sera. C4 activation on LTA-coated wells could be completely inhibited by pre-incubating the serum with excess fluid-phase LTA, while fluid-phase mannan (which inhibits MBL-driven C4 activation) had no effect (Fig. 1⇓D). Initially, the plates were coated with LTA dissolved in methanol, to protect the alkali-labile d-alanine esters on the phosphate backbone, which are essential for LTA-mediated cytokine release (17, 18). However, it was found that L-ficolin binding and C4 activation were similar on LTA that had been dissolved in carbonate buffer at pH 9.2, suggesting that d-alanine substitution is not essential for L-ficolin binding.
Two experiments demonstrate that H-ficolin does not contribute to the C4 activation seen on LTA from S. aureus strain DSM20233: First, an H-ficolin-specific ELISA showed that, although H-ficolin binds to the anti-H-ficolin mAb 4H5 and to PSA from A. viridans (a known ligand for H-ficolin), it binds neither to whole formalin-fixed DSM20233 nor to LTA from DSM20233 (Fig. 2⇓A). Second, coating plates with mAb 4H5 leads to H-ficolin-dependent activation of the lectin pathway that can be specifically inhibited by adding excess fluid-phase PSA, but not by adding LTA (data not shown). Fig. 2⇓B illustrates the absence of a direct interaction between C1q and LTA at physiological salt concentrations.
Next, the sera were replaced with purified L-ficolin-MASP complexes (16). Concentration-dependent binding of L-ficolin-MASP complexes was observed on wells coated with the L-ficolin-specific mAb GN4, LTA from DSM20233, and formalin-fixed DSM20233, but not on wells coated with PSA or mannan (Fig. 3⇓A). Likewise, concentration-dependent C4 activation was seen on LTA coated wells, but not on those coated with mannan (Fig. 3⇓B).
Preparations of pure LTA from other Gram-positive bacteria were tested for C4 activation, ficolin binding, and MBL binding. L-ficolin binding and C4 activation on LTA from B. subtilis (DSM1087) S. pyogenes, and S. agalactiae (two isolates) were remarkably similar to that seen for LTA from S. aureus DSM20233 (Fig. 4⇓). LTA from B. animalis bound significantly less L-ficolin, and the C4 activation was correspondingly low. Neither MBL nor H-ficolin bound to any of the LTA preparations tested (data not shown).
Flow cytometry was used to demonstrate binding of purified L-ficolin-p35 to whole S. aureus DSM20233, and this binding could also be inhibited by excess fluid-phase LTA (Fig. 5⇓, A and B). C4 activation on whole formalin-fixed DSM20233 could be inhibited to roughly equal extents by both mannan and LTA (Fig. 5⇓C), and the effect of the two inhibitors was additive, implying that approximately half of the C4 activation observed on the whole bacteria is a consequence of MBL binding to cell wall components other than LTA, probably to the mannose-rich peptidoglycan.
Previous studies have shown that on LTA preparations isolated from various bacterial strains complement activation occurs in an Ab-independent fashion (25, 26, 27). The mode of activation, however, remained unclear. Based on measurements demonstrating a significant consumption of complement components C4 and C2 (and a moderate consumption of hemolytically active C1), the most recent of these reports suggested that LTA might activate complement through activation of the classical pathway involving a direct interaction of LTA with C1q (27). No direct binding between LTA and C1q, however, was described.
This study demonstrates that complement activation occurs via the lectin pathway through specific binding of L-ficolin to LTA preparations from different Gram-positive bacterial strains, including S. aureus strain DSM 20233. The binding of L-ficolin to LTA was highly specific, none of the LTA preparations bound MBL or H-ficolin. These findings are consistent with those from Polotsky and coworkers (28), who reported that recombinant human MBL binds to LTA from Enterococcus spp. (in which the polyglycerophospate chain is substituted with glycosyl groups), but not to LTA from nine other species, including S. aureus, S. pyogenes, and Bifidobacterium.
Inhibition assays indicated that L-ficolin is responsible for ∼50% of the total lectin pathway-dependent C4 activation seen on whole formalin-fixed S. aureus; the remaining C4 activation could be inhibited with mannan and is therefore attributable to MBL binding to cell wall components other than LTA. This finding may explain the observation that the deposition of C4 and iC3b on S. aureus, and the opsonophagocytosis of S. aureus, in MBL-deficient serum is approximately half of that seen in MBL-deficient serum reconstituted with MBL-MASP complexes (29).
The levels of L-ficolin binding and lectin pathway-dependent C4 activation detected on LTA purified from B. subtilis, S. pyogenes, and S. agalactiae were similar to those seen on LTA from S. aureus, while LTA from B. animalis had a drastically reduced capacity to bind serum L-ficolin (∼30% of the amount bound by the same concentration of the other LTAs tested) and showed correspondingly little C4 activation. The low level of binding to Bifidobacterium LTA is probably a consequence of its backbone structure; Bifidobacterium spp LTA differs from the others in that its backbone consists of lipofuranan instead of polyglycerophospate and it is substituted with monoglycerophospate groups instead of N-acetylated carbohydrate groups (30).
Our results indicate that the repertoire of microbial organisms recognized by L-ficolin could both overlap and extend that recognized by MBL. The ability of several fluid-phase carbohydrate recognition molecules to initiate the lectin pathway of complement activation in response to different pathogen-associated molecular patterns broadens the spectrum for the innate response toward invading microbial organisms.

valparaiso and 55-communities in 55+ Condos
Condos in 55+ Retirement Communities
Working seniors and retirees are flocking to 55 plus condo retirement communities all over the country. And what's not to like? They feature maintenance free living and amenities often only found at exotic resorts.
55 plus condo retirement communities are great fits for seniors on a variety of levels. They can focus less on home maintenance and spend more time doing the things they love such as traveling, spending time with friends and family and recreational activities. Or best of all, spend some time just relaxing.
It's not too difficult to find a 55 plus condo retirement community these days. They can be found in beach communities, large urban cities, and small town America. So no matter where you live - it should be easy to find a great location near you.
In many areas seniors can purchase a condo with excellent amenities for the same price or lower than the cost of a single family home. Condominium living has always served seniors well, but does even more so as today's senior enjoys a robust, active lifestyle.
Prices vary depending on location, size of unit and amenities offered. This makes the 55+ retirement community an option for seniors who live on a fixed income. When looking for a 55+ condo retirement it is important to spend time searching for the right one and seeking the advice of a realtor, especially if the condo is in an area you are unfamiliar with.
With so many options out there, finding the right condominium in the 55+ community may take time, but will be well worth it when you find the perfect one to live out your retirement years focusing on things you enjoy.

There's a story I think of often when I try to remind myself to be a kinder person. I've gotten much better, but like many people (I think anyway) I tend to be quick to judge in my mind when I see someone I don't know; and even when I do. I had the opportunity when I was younger, my first real job, to work with my dad. Every now and then we would go out to lunch together. One day sitting in a parking lot eating our lunch a girl walked by. (This was back when those lovely tight black spandex skirts were in style.) I can't even remember my comment but it was out loud and it was not very nice. My father's response was something along the lines of 'How do you know she hasn't just lost a lot of weight and isn't super proud of she looks right now?' I was kind of taken aback. He was right. Not only was he right and I could understand how that must of felt but now this girl had gone from being rather foolish in my eyes to being amazing since I would never have the guts to parade out in an outfit that formfitting no matter how great I felt about myself. Good for her! She must have felt fabulous!
Isn't is funny how perception changes everything? How many times have you thought one way about yourself and let that perception carry you through the whole day? Or, how many times have you thought your hair or outfit or weight was so horrible just to go out and get a compliment on it that very day? We tend to be so hard on ourselves. A book I just read speaks to this. In The Core Balance Diet, Marcelle Pick says, "A woman's physiology isn't static; it's a reflection of her biochemistry, her nutrition, and all the things she's doing, thinking and feeling – consciously or unconsciously – at a particular time in her life." She goes on to discuss a study done by Harvard University researcher, Ellen Langer back in 2007 where a group of 84 hotel housekeepers were studied to gauge the impact of what they were thinking – to see how the perception of how much exercise they were getting would impact their body mass. Anyone who does housework knows how much energy is used cleaning all day and can imagine what kind of exercise the people were performing on a daily basis simply performing their jobs. However, despite a workday that consisted of almost nonstop physical activity, 67 percent of these women interviewed did not believe they exercised enough, and their bodies appeared to bear this out with extra weight. After measuring the women's body fat, waist-to-hip ratio, blood pressure and bmi, she found that their body types largely matched their perceptions of how much they exercised. Now here's the amazing part… Langer split the group in half and let half the group know that they were in fact getting enough exercise but let the other half carry on as usual. Guess what happened? After a month, without any other modifications to their day, the half that now understood they were getting enough exercise LOST WEIGHT! All their other initial assessments improved as well! Talk about mind over matter.
Tabata Bootcamp creator, Mindy Mylrea in all her 6-minute videos loves to talk about how "Energy begets energy!" It's so true. Expanding on that and furthering my point and Langer's research above, positive energy begets positive energy. Or… "What you think about you bring about!" This was something Mary Kay Ash used to say, along with things like, "Fake it until you make it!" We've all seen quotes like these come across our FaceBook walls. They're inspirational but how much real thought do you give them? Maybe it's time to really put these thoughts into practice. Let everyday day be your day to walk around like you just lost a ton of weight, even if you didn't. Because if you do, maybe it'll kick off something inside of you that will help you achieve something you've been trying to accomplish. It's time to allow yourself to be fabulous. Everyday!
And if you ever find yourself in a situation where that self doubt starts to creep in, because you always will because it always does, do like I did… you call upon whatever support system you have and they will remind you how fabulous you are and then… you strut! Because, and this is my final quote and sometimes the hardest one to hold on to but sometimes to most useful when trying to keep yourself fabulous in your own mind, "What other people think of you is none of your business." Why? Because they could just be some ignorant kid like me at lunch with their dad who doesn't really understand just how fabulous you really are and who needs that to bring you down? Not you! So, who cares what they think anyway. Carry on and be fabulous!

Northwest Daventry (aka Northwest Area) is a region of Daventry as it appears on maps in The Official Book of King's Quest 1st and 2nd editions. Most other hintbooks divide Daventry into East and West Daventry (but what locations are included within each section or the layout of areas depends on the edition, see also magical law of "containment" (wrap around)).
The northern edge of the region includes the lake and waterfall east of Castle Daventry (aka Beautiful Lake), Stump and Log, the western half of the lake east of the stump ('serene mountain lake').
The bridge to the north of the Island of the Gnome (Wood Bridge), east of it is the Stone Bridge, the lake to the east of the bridge ('clear blue lake'), and front of the Woodcutter's house (and roughly the inside of the 'house').
The southern edge of the region includes the Island of the Gnome, the bridge east of it (Earth Bridge), the Flower Patch, and the lake east of it ('swampy lake').
- Beautiful Lake (Small Waterfall in Lake)
- North Wood Bridge.
- Woodcutter's House (westside)
- West Lake
Behind the scenesEdit
King's Quest Chapter 2Edit
According to 2nd chapter of new King's Quest series the Northwest or Northwestern region is the region where most of Chapter 1 and Chapter 2 takes place.
