The fibronectin‐leucine‐rich transmembrane (FLRT) family of leucine‐rich repeat (LRR) proteins is implicated in fibroblast growth factor (FGF) signalling, early embryonic development and neurite outgrowth. Here, we have analysed whether FLRTs may also function in cell adhesion. We find that FLRT proteins can physically interact and that FLRT‐transfected cultured cells sort out from non‐transfected cells, suggesting a change in adhesive properties. A similar sorting effect is also observed in Xenopus embryos and tissue aggregates. FLRT‐mediated cell sorting is calcium dependent and substrate independent. Deletion analysis indicates that cell sorting requires the LRR domains, which are dispensable for FLRT‐mediated FGF signalling. Conversely, sorting is independent of the cytoplasmic domain, which is essential for FLRT‐induced signalling. Therefore, FLRT‐mediated FGF signal transduction and homotypic cell sorting can be molecularly uncoupled. The results indicate that FLRT proteins have a dual role, promoting FGF signalling and modulating homotypic cell adhesion.
Fibronectin‐leucine‐rich transmembrane (FLRT) proteins are a family of cell‐surface molecules, which in adult human tissues are expressed in all organs tested (Lacy et al, 1999; Böttcher et al, 2004). FLRTs contain extracellular leucine‐rich repeats (LRRs), a fibronectin type III (FNIII) domain and a cytoplasmic tail without obvious protein motifs. FLRT3, the best‐characterized member of the family, is coexpressed with fibroblast growth factor (FGF) 8 and positively regulated by FGF signalling in Xenopus embryos. During early Xenopus development, FLRT3 functions as a positive modulator of FGF signalling (Böttcher et al, 2004). In gain‐ and loss‐of‐function experiments, FLRT3 and FLRT2 phenocopy FGF signalling. Xenopus FLRT3 physically interacts with FGF receptors (FGFRs) and by an unknown mechanism activates the mitogen‐activated protein kinase cascade to promote FGF target gene expression. The ability of FLRT3 to activate FGF signalling is dependent on the cytoplasmic domain, and FGFR binding is mediated by the FNIII domain of FLRT3. In contrast, the LRR domains are dispensable for FGF signal activation (Böttcher et al, 2004).
In addition to regulating FGF signalling during embryonic development, FLRTs have also been implicated in neurite outgrowth. FLRT3 messenger RNA expression is upregulated after nerve injury (Tanabe et al, 2003; Robinson et al, 2004). The protein accumulates in damaged sensory neuron cell bodies and is exported into their peripheral and central processes (Robinson et al, 2004). Antisense knockdown of FLRT3 protein reduces whereas, overexpression of FLRT3 promotes neurite outgrowth from dorsal root ganglion neurons in vitro (Robinson et al, 2004), and an increase in neurite outgrowth is observed from neonatal cerebellar granule cells grown on Chinese hamster ovary (CHO) cells overexpressing FLRT3 (Tsuji et al, 2004).
The effect on neurite outgrowth together with the fact that some LRR proteins, such as chaoptin (Krantz & Zipursky, 1990), connectin (Nose et al, 1992), capricious and tartan (Milán et al, 2001), function in intercellular adhesion or tissue boundary formation raised the possibility that FLRTs may also have a role in cell adhesion. Here, we show that FLRT proteins can interact with each other and that they promote homotypic cell sorting.
FLRT proteins physically interact
FLRTs were previously characterized as FGF pathway modulators, which interact physically and functionally with FGFRs (Böttcher et al, 2004). In addition to the FLRT–FGFR interaction, we also observed FLRT–FLRT interaction (Fig 1). In co‐immunoprecipitation (co‐IP), V5 epitope‐tagged FLRT3 precipitates Flag epitope‐tagged FLRT3 as well as FGFR1 (full‐length and cytoplasmic domain‐deleted (ΔC) protein), but not BMP type I receptor (BMPRI; Fig 1A). We confirmed this result by an alternative assay using V5‐tagged FLRT3 to co‐immunoprecipitate various Renilla luciferase (RL)‐tagged proteins, which can be detected quantitatively in bioluminescence assays. RL–FLRT1, RL–FLRT2 and RL–FLRT3 were significantly enriched compared with unrelated transmembrane proteins (RL–BMPRI, RL–Frizzled8; Fig 1B). Finally, to test whether FLRTs can also interact in vivo, we carried out a bioluminescence resonance energy transfer (BRET) assay. RL–FLRT2 was coexpressed in human embryonic kidney 293T cells with various enhanced yellow fluorescent protein fusion proteins. As reported previously for FLRT3 (Böttcher et al, 2004), FLRT2 interacts with FGFR1ΔC but not with the full‐length FGFR1, probably owing to steric reasons (Fig 1C). In addition, both FLRT1 and FLRT2 interact strongly with FLRT2. Homodimerization of secreted FLRT3 ectodomain (FLRT3ΔTM) in solution or binding of secreted FLRT3 to FLRT3‐transfected cells was, however, not observed (data not shown). This may be because of inappropriate folding or post‐translational modifications of the secreted form of FLRT3, but may also indicate that the observed FLRT–FLRT interaction depends on another binding partner.
FLRT proteins promote homotypic cell sorting
While performing the above experiments, we noticed that FLRT overexpression in 293T cells gives rise to a characteristic cell‐sorting behaviour. Within the confluent cell monolayer, the FLRT2‐ or FLRT3‐transfected cells labelled by co‐transfected enhanced green fluorescent protein (EGFP) segregate from the non‐transfected, EGFP‐negative cells (Fig 2A–C). Cell sorting is evident after 24 h and becomes fully developed 2–3 days after transfection. Intriguingly, the brightest cells usually sort to the interior of the transfected cell clusters, suggesting possible FLRT dose‐dependent changes in cell–cell adhesion. FLRT‐mediated sorting is independent of substrate adhesion, as it occurs when cells are seeded on agarose, where they form multilayered discoidal clusters (Fig 2D,E), or when aggregated in suspension (Fig 2F,G). Cell sorting is also observed under serum starvation (data not shown), suggesting that it is independent of cell proliferation. Mouse P19 cells also show FLRT‐mediated sorting, but CHO, L cells, HeLa, Cos1 and RKO cells do not (supplementary Fig S1 online), indicating cell specificity of this effect. Interestingly, cell sorting by two types of cadherins was observed only in 293T cells (supplementary Fig S1 online), suggesting that this cell type is a particularly sensitive system for studying cell‐sorting behaviour.
The LRR domains of FLRT3 are required for cell sorting
We next tested different FLRT3 deletion constructs in the cell‐sorting assay (Fig 3). Secreted FLRT3 (FLRT3ΔTM) does not confer cell sorting (Fig 3B), suggesting that membrane localization is crucial for this activity. FLRT3ΔC lacking the intracellular domain is inactive in FGF signalling in Xenopus (Böttcher et al, 2004), but still induces cell sorting in 293T cells (Fig 3C). Likewise, removal of the FNIII domain, which mediates FGFR interaction (Böttcher et al, 2004), does not inhibit cell sorting (Fig 3D). In contrast, deletion of the LRR domains (FLRT3ΔLRR), which are dispensable for FLRT‐mediated signalling, abolishes cell sorting (Fig 3E), even when overexpressed at levels much higher than those of the full‐length protein (supplementary Fig S2 online). Transfection of plasmids encoding ten unrelated LRR transmembrane proteins in 293T cells did not result in cell‐sorting behaviour (data not shown), implying that this phenomenon is not a general property of LRR transmembrane proteins. These data suggest that the role of FLRT3 in cell sorting is independent of its function in FGF signalling, and that the two functions can be molecularly uncoupled.
FLRT3‐mediated cell sorting is calcium dependent
The experiments described above suggest that FLRT proteins may act as homophilic cell adhesion molecules or modulate cell–cell adhesion by interacting with other cell‐surface proteins. Some intercellular adhesion molecules (cadherins, lectins) are known to be Ca2+ dependent, whereas others (for example, Ig‐superfamily CAMs) do not require Ca2+ for binding. We therefore examined whether FLRT‐mediated sorting of 293T cells is Ca2+ dependent (Fig 4). When cells are cultivated in a medium containing FCS as the only Ca2+ source, FLRT‐mediated cell sorting is abolished. Addition of increasing amounts of Ca2+ causes dose‐dependent cell sorting in the presence of FLRT3 in cells grown on plastic or agarose.
FLRT3ΔC promotes cell‐sorting behaviour in vivo
We next tested FLRT3‐mediated cell sorting in Xenopus embryos. When mRNA of FLRT3ΔC, which is inactive in FGF signalling and causes no morphological defects in Xenopus (Böttcher et al, 2004), is injected together with a lineage tracer (β‐galactosidase) into one animal‐ventral blastomere of 32‐cell‐stage Xenopus embryos, the normal cell mixing of the injected progeny with the surrounding cells during gastrulation is inhibited and the β‐galactosidase‐positive cells remain more compact (Fig 5C,E). Similarly, an animal cap dissociation and co‐aggregation assay showed that embryonic cells expressing FLRT3ΔC sort out in discrete patches, which tend to localize preferentially on the surface of the tissue aggregates (Fig 5D,F). Similar cell‐sorting behaviour and inhibition of cell mixing in vivo were previously reported for the homophilic cell adhesion molecule paraxial protocadherin (Kim et al, 1998).
Our data showing that FLRTs promote homotypic cell sorting suggest a role for these cell‐surface molecules in cell adhesion. One obvious possibility is that FLRTs act as homophilic cell adhesion molecules. This conclusion is supported by the finding that FLRT proteins can interact with each other, although it is unclear at present whether this interaction is direct. In addition, the possibility remains that FLRTs may interact with other cell‐surface molecules in a heterophilic manner to modulate homotypic cell adhesion. This may explain the absence of homophilic binding of secreted forms of FLRT3 in solution, as well as the reported lack of change in the aggregation rate of FLRT3‐expressing CHO cells (Robinson et al, 2004).
The fact that FLRT‐mediated cell sorting is dependent on the LRR domains (which are dispensable for FGF signalling) but independent of its cytoplasmic domain (required for FGF signalling) rules out an indirect effect through FGF signal activation. The dual role of FLRTs in cell adhesion and FGF signalling is reminiscent of the common theme, where cell adhesion molecules not only mediate cell–cell interactions but also regulate receptor tyrosine kinases (Orian‐Rousseau et al, 2002; Suyama et al, 2002; Birchmeier et al, 2003; Christofori, 2003; Ponta et al, 2003; Cavallaro & Christofori, 2004). In the case of FGF signalling, the homophilic cell adhesion molecules N‐cadherin and N‐CAM physically interact with FGFRs and promote their signal transduction (Cavallaro et al, 2001; Williams et al, 2001; Suyama et al, 2002). Interestingly, the interaction with FGFR1 involves the FNIII domain of N‐CAM (Kiselyov et al, 2003), as is the case for FLRT3 (Böttcher et al, 2004). Thus, FLRTs may represent yet another family of cell‐surface proteins that link cell adhesion and signal transduction (Fig 6).
The LRR is a widespread protein motif, which is found in a diverse set of intracellular, membrane‐associated and extracellular proteins from bacteria to vertebrates and is frequently implicated in homo‐ and heterophilic protein–protein interactions (Buchanan & Gay, 1996; Kobe & Kajava, 2001). However, despite the large number of LRR proteins and the sequence similarity among them within the LRR domain, they are highly specific with regard to their binding partners (Fournier et al, 2001; Lin et al, 2003). Several cell‐surface LRR proteins, such as connectin, chaoptin, capricious and tartan (Krantz & Zipursky, 1990; Nose et al, 1992; Milán et al, 2001), are implicated in intercellular adhesion, cell sorting or boundary formation during development. Our study provides evidence that FLRTs might modulate, directly or indirectly, cell–cell adhesion through their extracellular LRR domains. Deregulation of cell adhesion is a hallmark of many cancers, and therefore it will be interesting to see whether FLRT proteins are involved in tumorigenesis. It is noteworthy that FLRT2 expression is strongly downregulated in certain ovarian and uterine cancers (Donninger et al, 2004; Santin et al, 2004, 2005).
Cell culture, transfection and microscopy. 293T cells were grown in DMEM media supplemented with 10% FCS, 2 mM l‐glutamine and penicillin/streptomycin in a humidified incubator with 5% CO2. Transient transfections with FuGENE 6 (Roche, Mannheim, Germany) were carried out on 50–70% confluent cells with 150–300 ng pCS‐FLRTs (Böttcher et al, 2004) and 10–20 ng pCS‐EGFP per well of a 24‐well plate. Typically, between 40% and 60% of the cells were transfected, as judged by EGFP fluorescence. In some experiments, cells were briefly trypsinized 24 h after transfection, mixed with non‐transfected cells and re‐plated in fresh medium in 24‐ or 96‐well plates coated with a thin layer of 1% agarose, or aggregated in suspension culture with orbital shaking (120 r.p.m.) in BSA‐coated 24‐well plates. Photographs were taken with an inverted fluorescent microscope (Nikon) connected to a cooled monochrome CCD camera (Photometrics) and subsequently pseudocoloured in green.
Co‐immunoprecipitation, western blotting and BRET assays. 293T cells were lysed in NOP buffer (20 mM Tris, 150 mM NaCl, 2% Nonidet P‐40, 1 mM EDTA and protease inhibitors) on ice for 10–20 min. Lysates were cleared by centrifugation, the primary antibody was added to the supernatant and the solution was incubated for 1–4 h at 4°C with rotation. After the addition of anti‐mouse IgG agarose beads (Sigma, Munich, Germany), samples were rotated overnight at 4°C. After washing five times with immunoprecipitation buffer (20 mM Na2HPO4, 0.5 M NaCl, 1% NP‐40, 0.1% SDS, 0.5% sodium deoxycholate (pH 7.5) and 0.02% NaN3), precipitates were separated by 7.5% SDS–polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis and immunoblotted with the appropriate antibodies. For co‐IP of RL fusion proteins, 293T cells were transfected in 24‐well plates in triplicate. 48 h after transfection, the triplicates were pooled and the cells lysed with 500 μl NOP buffer. Then, 10% of the lysate was transferred to 96‐well luminometer plates to determine the RL activity of the lysate before co‐IP. Anti‐V5 antibody (1 μl; Invitrogen, Karlsruhe, Germany) was added to the remaining lysate and incubated for 1 h on ice. 12 μl of anti‐mouse IgG agarose beads was added and the lysate rotated overnight at 4°C. After washing five times with immunoprecipitation buffer, precipitates were resuspended in 60 μl PBS and transferred to 96‐well luminometer plates. RL activity was measured using an Ascent FL luminometer (Labsystems, Helsinki, Finland) after the addition of coelenterazine h (Molecular Probes, Eugene, OR, USA) to a final concentration of 5 μM. Relative RL activity of individual samples after co‐IP was determined by normalizing to the total activity of the respective lysate. BRET assays were carried out as described (Böttcher et al, 2004).
Embryos and explants.Xenopus embryo staging, microinjection, explantation, fixation and pigment bleaching, mRNA synthesis and β‐galactosidase staining were carried out according to standard protocols (Sive et al, 2000). For the animal cap dissociation and co‐aggregation assay, eight‐cell‐stage embryos were microinjected in each animal blastomere with 1 ng of FLRT3ΔC or control (preprolactin) mRNA together with 200 pg β‐galactosidase mRNA as a lineage tracer. Animal cap explants, excised at the late blastula stage from injected and non‐injected embryos, were mixed (1:2 ratio, triplicate samples) and dissociated in Ca2+/Mg2+‐free medium. The outer (epithelial) layer of the explants, which remained intact under these conditions, was removed and the inner (sensorial) layer was fully dispersed by pipetting and aggregated for 18 h in agarose‐coated 24‐well plates in 0.6 × MMR medium, then fixed, bisected, stained for β‐galactosidase activity and bleached of the residual pigment. Similar results with three batches of embryos were obtained.

As Thanksgiving swiftly approaches, I decided to do a blog to talk about all the things I'm thankful for. Pretty self explanatory.....so let's go. Sidenote: In no particular order.
1. My health and strength - I'm not in the best shape I can be, but thank the Lord I'm not strickened with several ailments. Definitely gotta get back on the workout plan.
2. My family - One of the forced relationships in life.....LOL. Somedays I wonder if I had the chance to pick, how would life be? Even though they drive me up the wall most days, I got mad love for them. Thank you for all your phone calls when you want something and guilt trips when I don't give it to you. For all you do.....this Bud's for you.
3. God - He has brought me a mighty long ways. I've seen some low times this year, but God was always there to pick me up, dust me off, heck He even carried me sometimes when I was too weak to walk.
4. My friends - The homies always come thru in the clutch for me. There has never been a time where I couldn't laugh, cry, vent, or bulljive. Some of ya'll are definitely gonna get your wings.
5. Being employed - My gig isn't the best but it pays American dollars. I know that a greater is coming, all I gotta do is hang in there and let God work.
6. Having my heart broken - A lesson I needed to learn. It's funny but I believe I'm more open to love now than I was before. Life is weird like that.
7. Direction and conviction - Keeps me from blowing in the breeze. I know who I am and where I want to go. I'm comfortable in my own skin and I won't let anyone make me feel otherwise.
As you sit around the table on Thanksgiving, be sure to say a little prayer of thanks. Let God know that you appreciate all He's done. Also don't eat too much to the point where you can't button your trousers. Peace.

Coming home after a stay in hospital is an anxious time and support is welcomed to enable a patient to get stronger until ready to resume their way of life.
In the 1950's and 1960's it was a common expectation that after major surgery or a serious health problem that a period of convalescence would be offered in a convalescent home. The number of convalescent homes has declined over the years and the majority of people are now discharged and return home from hospital to rely on family and friends for much of their first few weeks care.
People who live in rural or remote areas, people whose family live some distance away may find that they have to stay in hospital longer, often being transferred to another hospital until they are able to return home safely.
Most people wish to get back to their home as soon as is possible and one service that can be arranged to ensure a safe and less stressful discharge is to have a live-in carer for those first few weeks. A live-in carer can help a person to regain their strength and independence and to return if possible to their lifestyle as it was before they entered hospital.
Having a live-in care service helps to prevent re-admission as the carer is on hand to help and support in those first few days after returning home.
Recovery at home is beneficial, back in your own home you feel better and your local care professionals, people you know, are on hand to help if needed.
Able Community Care now provides a Home From Hospital Care Service which can effectively provide live-in convalescent care at home throughout England, Scotland, Wales and the Channel Islands.

Unbelievable, I remembered I was once here in need of help on how to go about the problem of Stroke I was having, I must say those years was so frustrating, the experience was something outside the world of being normal,my wife had to join me in search of various kind of help,and the search lasted for 1 year and some months and like a dove sent from heaven, a friend of mine referred me to Dr Johnson a specialist with a difference full of knowledge, with his vaccines/medications and his advice on what to stay clear off and how to approach the problem, after one month of using his product, I was made well, I never believed there is a cure to Stroke, but now am a testimony.
Any one with such problem can contact The Doctor on his mail address at email@example.com
As a sign of gratitude for how my husband was saved from stroke , i decided to reach out to those still suffering from this.
My husband was diagnosed of stroke and it was really tough and heartbreaking for me because he was my all and the symptoms were terrible, he had difficult speaking , and he always complain of muscle weakness and balance disorder . we tried various therapies prescribed by our neurologist but none could cure him. I searched for a cure and i saw a testimony by someone who was cured and so many other with similar body problem, and he left the contact of the doctor who had the cure to stroke . I never imagine stroke has a cure not until i contacted him and he assured me my husband will be fine. I got the herbal medication he recommended and my husband used it and in one months he was fully okay even up till this moment he is so full of life. stroke has a cure and it is a herbal cure contact the doctor for more info on email@example.com on how to get the medication. Thanks for reading my testimony

With the launch of the new PS3 home came much innovation, or copying from the Wii and Xbox 360 depending upon how you look at it. They hadn't fixed the bugs before releasing it and they ended up having to take down the voice chat. Well good news, they put the voice chat back up today. Go check it out.
How does the PS3 home compare to the Wii's and Xbox 360?

This morning, after the coffee kicked in, I was ready to tackle my list of phone calls for the day (best to do this early, since it's the chore I despise most. As the day wears on, my motivation wanes and it gets put off for another day...or another...you get the picture!)
Anyway, I had a few quick questions for the pediatrician, so I checked that one off first. Afterwards, just making conversation (or thinking out loud; I do that A LOT), I informed the boys that we could get their flu vaccinations at the end of September this year. "Can we get the spray," Derek asked with trepidation in his voice, "or do we have to have a shot?" I swiftly assured him that he could have FluMist again...but the exchange was interrupted by my 6-year old's sudden bark of laughter. Derek and I turned our puzzled faces to him and he explained himself: "So we won't get sick, and we can go to the bathroom all we want?" You see, FLOMAX is prescribed to men with prostate problems, to--um, how to put this delicately-- alleviate urinary difficulties. (And no, my son, that's definitely NOT the one you'll be getting.)
At least I don't have to guess where his train of thought came from this time: the commercial for that drug shows up with great frequency during...Orioles games. (Along with the ones for ED medications. What does that say about men who watch baseball?) This is depressing; not only does my team stink, but my children are picking up inappropriate medical information while watching. Give me those good old toy and candy ads any day!

I've just got back from Ibiza and for anyone who hasn't been, trust me when I say everyone should go at least once in their lifetime.
So, whilst we were over there a girl told me 'you don't look like the type of boy I'd trust'. I wasn't particularly bothered, but it got me thinking about trust.
As we all know, 'trust' is the most important thing in any relationship, and just as this applies to any human bond, I reckon it's equally important in the relationships brands have with stakeholders.
An essential component of trust is 'value exchange' and this must be absolutely integral to every interaction a brand has with a consumer. I've seen 'nuff marketing and communications plans that speak of the 'trust agenda' and bizarrely this always seems to be the most fluffy, lightweight part of the presentation. The intentions are there, often accompanied by a pretty diagram, but I've rarely seen anything robust with measurable outcomes that are representative of genuine communications goals.
So I'm going to share how I'd do (I'd like to think 'have done') it.
Firstly, let's forget digital, social media and all that jazz and decide on what it takes to build trust from a simple comms perspective:
- Consistently demonstrating openness, transparency and accountability; using the CEO as one of the key voices credibly equipped to present these.
- Focus on the message- it must be honest and relevant.
- Focus on providing key internal figures with the necessary tools and materials to communicate.
- Focus on providing relevant external experts and influencers with tools, materials and access.
- Recognise that people need to hear something five times to believe it… so that means you have to define different messages and find out where stakeholders are congregating…
But where are they congregating? Well not Nandos for starters (or mains), for the sake of this blog post it's online. So how can digital and social media become integral within those comms basics? Let's map it:
- Harness search; 57% consumers use search as the first port-of-call for finding information about a company. Why not provide your content or target media coverage to meet and rank highly on search terms they're using?
- Talk with people, not to them. It's the mother of all cliches, but social media can facilitate two-way dialogue and interactivity.
- Ensure your presences on social channels have a purpose and are used cohesively. Oh, and make sure you use them accordingly… you know appropriate tone of voice, relevant content etc.
- Analyse your social following and tailor your content and messaging accordingly.
- Find out where your most relevant commentators and influencers are online and leverage these niche pockets of interest.
I realise I'm not going in to specific executional tactics there, but it's a starter for ten.
On a lighter note, here's a quick snippet of a boat party in Ibiza:
Now do you trust me that you should make the trip? Not that I'm a 'trustworthy boy' though, 'coz the jury's still out on that one…

Obama Lashes Out – Wisconsin Battle Heats UpPosted: March 1, 2011 Filed under: National Republican Trust Emails | Tags: Gov. Scott Walker, Governor Walker, National Investigative Media, National Republican Trust, National Republican Trust PAC, NRT, Obama, Obama Administration, Scott Wheeler, Tea Party, Wisconsin, Wisconsin democrats Leave a comment
- Wisconsin enters FINAL HOURS
- OBAMA lashes out at conservative Governors
- Unions Double down their efforts
Dear GOP Trust Supporter:
The final hours are fast approaching in Wisconsin's battle over the public union's stranglehold on the economy. The outcome of this fight will have major implications across the country.
If we are able to reign in government spending and union waste in Wisconsin, dozens of states like Ohio, New Jersey, Florida, Tennessee, Nevada and evenCalifornia are ready to follow.
We can do it but we must win in Wisconsin first!
Obama knows how critical union control is to his re-election bid. He knows that without their control of government money he cannot advance his radical transformation of America. Yesterday in a speech to the Nation's governors he scolded their efforts to reign in his personal campaign ATM.
We must win this battle in Wisconsin and take the momentum to other states. We have never seen polling numbers on public sector unions this low. Nor have we seen the public's appetite to cut government spending this high. THE TIME TO ACT IS NOW!
We must use this momentum to save our country from massive debt and expanding government control.
We are hitting the airwaves in Wisconsin and will be moving into other states quickly. You can join the fight and help get these ads on the air. We will buy as much airtime as we can in every state that needs our help.
Join the fight to defeat Union waste
Take Away Obama's Election ATM
Big Labor and the Democrats will stop at nothing to advance their socialist agenda and expand the power of government. Please know that all of these public sector union rallies that have popped up across the country are being paid for with YOUR hard earned tax dollars.
That's right, We the taxpayers are paying for all of these teachers to skip school and get their fake doctor's note.
We are also paying for the cowardly Democrat legislators that have skipped town and refuse to perform their duties.
These public sector unions are dumping millions of "FORCED DUES" into the fight in Wisconsin and across the country.
Last week, Big Labor led by SEIU launched a more than 15 state campaign and is working with Moveon.org and Obama's campaign machine Organizing for Americato hold rallies and marches in all 50 states.
If we are to fight their war chest of forced dues and billions from George Soros we must all join together in this important fight.
Help us get these ads running everywhere!!
Expose the Truth about Union costs
Stop the Union Stranglehold on our Economy
Buy Massive Airtime Today!!
We must get our ads on the air today to combat the Left and keep the momentum on our side. We need to counter their dirty tricks with force.
We cannot allow their dirty tactics to change this debate and defeat the pro-business, pro-free market proposals that will save our economy and the future of our country.
We must be prepared to quickly respond to their every move. They have a huge war chest of cash and apparently an endless supply of doctor notes. We have you and all American loving conservatives to fight back.
If we all come together we can blanket the airwaves and stop these unions from destroying our economic future.
Please JOIN THE FIGHT. Together we will win this multi-state battle for the conservative cause.
Yours for America,
Scott Wheeler

Though the Knicks said it was a game-time decision, Amar'e Stoudemire will not play Monday night when the club returns home to face the Raptors.
"It is more on the doubtful side," Knicks coach Mike D'Antoni said after the team's morning shootaround in Westchester.
Stoudemire sprained his ankle in Thursday's loss to the Lakers.
"It's still swollen a little bit, but it is a lot less than it was," D'Antoni said.
Stoudemire did not participate in the shooutaround and was back in the trainer's room getting treatment. Stoudemire is more likely to return Wednesday when the Knicks play host to the Bobcats.
"Wednesday is definitely a good possibility. We'll keep the process going and keep getting better," Stoudemire said.
"You definitely want to be close to [100 percent] before you get back out there because it's such an impactful season. You don't want anything to linger on. You want to be 100 percent especially by the postseason. We're making great, great progress.''
Stoudemire missed Saturday's rousing victory over Sacramento as rookie Josh Harrellson shined in his place, posting a double-double in his first career start with 14 points and 12 rebounds.
Harrellson is expected to start again Monday if Stoudemire cannot go.
Meanwhile, rookie guard Iman Shumpert said he probably will return to practice Tuesday after looking good during drills Monday morning. Shumpert has been out since spraining his left knee in the season opener. The Post reported in Monday's editions the rookie could be back Saturday against Detroit.
D'Antoni said "he's getting closer." There is a small chance he could be back even sooner than Saturday.

Roadshow Video Reviews
2017 Volkswagen Golf Alltrack: 5 things to know about VW's new Subaru fighterVW's new tall wagon looks ready to tackle the road and the trail. Before you go getting dirty here are five things you should know.v
VW's new tall wagon looks ready to tackle the road, the trail end, most ambitiously, taken on Subaru's Crosstrek and Outback for all-wheel drive active lifestyle supremacy. Before the big bout, here are five things you should know about the 2017 Volkswagen Golf Alltrack. Relative to the five-door Golf Hatchback, the new all-track model is about 12 inches longer overall. And almost all of that extra length can be found behind the rear seats. The result is more boot for loot and about 7.5 cubic feet more cargo space before the folding feet go flat. The all-track features a more rugged appearance than other Golf models, coming standard with roof rails and body cladding down below. However, it's right height has only be raised by a mere 0.6 inches. That preserves much of the golf's on road handling but limited its off road ambitions to well-beaten trails. Thankfully, the All Track comes standard with Volkswagen's Four Motion All Wheel Drive system. It's not the most seamless system we've tackled the trail with, but it performs fairly well at helping the tallest wagon scramble over the mud, smooth stones and loose dirt you'll encounter on trails. That all wheel drive system had the business end of a 170 horsepower 1.8 liter turbocharged engine that sends a healthy 199 pound feet of torque through its six speed dual transmission. On road performance is impressive, though less impressive as its 25 combined MPG. The new Golf Alltrack is a ruggedized version of Volkswagen's Golf Sportwagen, which itself is the vehicle formerly known as the Jetta Sportwagen. We're fans of the old Sportwagens and Wagens in the general. So sure, go ahead and call it an Alltrack. If that's what it takes to keep it around, and there you have it, five things to know about the new golf all track. Find out even more at our full review over on the road show.com. [MUSIC]

All credit and blame for this one goes to Jonette at The Hobby Horse, specifically the Ureshii: 12 entry. If it hadn't been for her, I wouldn't have known that I could eat conveyor-belt sushi here in the city.
Although, while she and her significant other went to the Sakae Sushi at SM North EDSA, my partner and I took the exact opposite route and went to the branch at SM Mall of Asia. OMGWTF yes we were so very far from home! (We were there for a change of scenery, and to see what we might find.)
Anyway, food pics a-plenty here.
The rules for the All-Day Sushi Buffet are in Jonette's post, but let me recap anyway: for PHP399 per head for adults, eat your pick of the conveyor belt (but no leftovers please or you get charged extra). The meal also includes a bowl of miso soup and unlimited refills on either hot or iced green tea. As it was a sunny day, my partner and I opted for the latter.
The first four plates. Yes, that is my partner in the R2-D2 shirt that I got him for Christmas 2009, waiting patiently for me to finish taking the photo. I LOVED the green iced tea and drank a lot of it.
Conveyor belt! After the two Japanese dudes in the photo came into the restaurant, I grinned at my partner and muttered, "Well, now you know this place is authentic; even Nihonjin visit it!" Since they ordered octopus and squid sushi, the conveyor belt started having those dishes on offer too.
A close-up on a packed conveyor belt.
A stack of empty dishes partway through the meal. My partner laughed at me when I muttered, "Okay, kill-count stands at 12." We wound up finishing off 16 plates! (Yes we were hungry, could you tell?)
And then afterwards we walked the meal off - and if you've ever been to SM Mall of Asia, you'll know that that is a ridiculously easy thing to do.
We'll probably visit the SM North EDSA branch at some point in the near future.

Some running back situations to watch around the league.
Arizona Cardinals
- Andre Ellington has been a dual-threat running and catching the ball. The brunt of the fault should not be placed on him, but rather the mediocre-at-best O-line.
- After Jonathan Dwyer was released after his domestic violence dispute and meltdown, they nabbed Marion Grice off the Chargers' practice squad. The late-round pick has yet to be active for Bruce Arians, however, the turnover-free offense mixed him in for some first-team reps. That means they believe in his talent over Stepfan Taylor, whom they drafted. That was until Taylor actually contributed last week, he is slated to get a crack at a bigger role.
- I got the pleasure to watch the Chargers' deep running back group in camp, and that depth has showed in the absence of Ryan Mathews, Danny Woodhead, and Donald Brown. Injuries to the trio of veterans opened the door for Branden Oliver, and the undrafted rookie got pulled up and has shined in 2 starts.
- Grice could very well get an opportunity to play at some point. Ellington has been hindered by ongoing foot issues and a struggling O-line, so averaging less than 3 yards per carry is something that can be improved. After all, Dwyer was getting some burn when he was in the mix, Grice will have a chance to contribute in limited fashion. If he can pick up over 3 yards per carry he could even dive into Ellington's workload as the season progresses.
San Diego Chargers
- Speaking of Oliver, he has a pair of starts that resulted in triple-digit performances. From practice squad to starter, being undrafted means that he will have to continue to prove himself. It is absolutely realistic to believe that Oliver has a chance to win the role for the rest of this season, and possibly beyond.
- Woodhead is out for the year, Brown is week-to-week in his concussion recovery, and Mathews is due to return in a few weeks. Mathews has been the feature back for the past few seasons and last year was his best. The thing is, he hasn't been the most durable. He persevered through minor injuries last season to play every game but one, but this is a contract season for him and the Bolts might stick with the hot-handed Oliver if he keeps it up.
New England Patriots
- Down goes Stevan Ridley. The most reliable back that has had his struggles with fumbling, is lost for the season which leaves Tom Brady with some inexperienced options.
- Brandon Bolden is a key special teams contributor, his running back role will be to spell here and there, and mostly on passing downs.
- Shane Vereen is the passing down and change-of-pace back. Vereen is explosive in the passing game with the speed to routinely get past linebackers downfield. His wheel and corner routes have been a matter of catching the ball, which he has done about half the time. He will get more carries and a real chance to be the feature back. He was very productive in Thursday Night's win over the Jets.
- Jonas Gray got promoted from the practice squad to get a couple carries in his debut. Supposedly he will get more touches in the coming weeks. With him active and 2nd on the depth chart behind Vereen, that assures that they want to keep Bolden in his 3rd back/special teams role.
- Rookie James White had a good preseason but when you play for Bill Belichick, you have to earn your stripes on special teams. This means that he hasn't earned the trust with the playbook, special teams, or pass blocking. He very well might be their best option as an early down replacement for Ridley.
- I think the passing attack has finally caught their stride. They have so many options that do different things, it will give these backs some wiggle room to operate. For this season, I see Vereen being the main guy, with White being the late season darkhorse to contribute after the experiment with Gray. Of course, you roll with what works.
Tampa Bay Buccaneers
- Doug Martin regained the lead role at the beginning of the year. The Bucs line isn't special by any means, so the offense has been more bust than boom. Martin is healthy on paper, maybe he changed his style and approach after tearing his shoulder, I couldn't tell you. He is running differently than before, then again there's not many holes being paved up front.
- Bobby Rainey has played well in his spot starts, that was until his fumbling woes this season. Still, the speed back is playing the better of the two backs. Rainey contributes more to the passing game, as a blocker and receiver. He is a better bet to find a hole to the second level of the D.
- The preseason hype was all over rookie Charles Sims. Lovie Smith, formerly with the Bears, ranted and raved about Sims with Matt Forte Well, Sims is rumored to make his debut around week 10, from an ankle injury that put him on the shelf. He was already slated for somewhat of a timeshare, perhaps the current role Rainey is in. Sims is the only back drafted back Coach Smith, in the 3rd round, while the other two inherited from the previous regime.
- With Tampa quickly moving on from the veteran Josh McCown, and the injury is just another excuse, Mike Glennon played decent as a rookie and so far this year as well. He looks like a kid that can take a hit with a short memory, he really does give them the best chance to win. So, with a couple blowout defeats, they should turn to the youth movement if the losing continues. That means playing Sims when he returns, and probably more as he gets more practice reps.
St. Louis Rams
- Alright, Tre Mason just looks like the real deal. It was a short sample size, but his debut in the prime time loss to San Fran easily showed his talent and fire.
- Last season the Rams were rolling with who? I won't even tell you, but believe me when I say it wasn't Zac Stacy or Benny Cunningham. Stacy gradually won the gig from, alright here goes, Darryl Richardson and Isaiah Pead. He looked strong last season as the only bright spot in the 2013 Rams' offense.
- The same cannot be said for this season and Cunningham has outplayed him since the preseason. It seems as though the Rams only see Cunningham as a change of pace back. There is nothing wrong with that, but the fact that he's outplaying the starter behind the same line, has opened the door for the rookie.
- Mason is the future, but it shouldn't take too many games before he becomes the present. He looked explosive and beat linebackers to the edge. He would try to shake linebackers and looked for contact against defensive backs. That's what you want a back to do, Jeff Fisher and Brian Shottenheimer will play him more as the season goes on, especially since they're losing.
San Francisco 49ers
- The reports about this team being off is quite evident on the field. The fact that they're winning some games is even more impressive honestly. Coach Jim Harbaugh kind of just does what he wants. It's like they cannot wait to give the keys to ride rookie Carlos Hyde.
- Frank Gore has been the most overlooked back for the past decade. He's been a reliable, do it all stud that has set the tone for the 49ers. When you think about having a tough runner between the tackles, with breakout speed to bounce outside, someone that seeks contact, bails the quarterback out as a checkdown, takes a screen for a first down, that's been Gore. He doesn't need to be taken off the field for any reason, that includes pass protection against the blitz.
- Hyde is primed for this role, and the understudy is tough to keep under wraps sometimes. Toby Gerhart behind Adrian Peterson was a different story. Even before that in Minnesota, Chester Taylor was coming off a 1,300 yard season when they drafted A.P. This is a similar situation and the conclusion will probably turn out the same, in favor of the younger talent.
- The Niners don't want to run Gore into the ground. It's easy to see that and say they're playing it right, keeping their best back over 30 fresh as possible. It's no coincidence that they fed the workhorse for back-to-back wins where he accumulated over 100 yards in both games. It's a great situation for the team to be in, pairing a productive veteran with a standout rookie gradually cutting into those snaps.

Stock gavel in court
With input from two county attorneys, members of the New Hampshire Judicial Council have finalized their request for data that will aid in a more thorough evaluation of a statewide program designed to streamline felony cases.
The council is requesting that county prosecutors, defense attorneys, as well as law enforcement, corrections and court officials maintain certain information, if possible, that will allow for more comprehensive assessments of Felonies First in future years. While the council does not have the authority to require data collection, members say they're hopeful the state's 10 counties will do their part to ensure the new program can be properly evaluated.
The Felonies First pilot program began in Strafford and Cheshire counties in January 2016. The rollout of the program in those counties signaled a major change in how felony cases are prosecuted in New Hampshire. However, almost two years later, a full assessment of the program is just beginning – and that's because all 10 counties just came on board Oct. 1.
Cheshire County Attorney Chris McLaughlin and Strafford County Attorney Tom Velardi told the council at a meeting last week that Felonies First has built a lot of efficiencies into the system that will be realized by other counties in time.
"I truly believe and I wish I could give you all a measure of this with empirical certainty, but it has increased the efficiency of what the lawyers are doing in the superior court," Velardi said. "We're having substantive conversations about how to fairly resolve a case within days of it hitting the county attorney's office. That's a huge change, to be having real conversations that are actually helping citizens. … That's what I see, but I just wish I could put it in a box and show of all you."
Under Felonies First, more serious criminal cases are handled in the state's superior courts, instead of starting in the circuit courts, where they had been traditionally filed. The circuit courts do not have the authority to resolve felony cases, which is why they were forwarded to superior court after a probable cause determination.
Felonies First eliminates the automatic probable cause hearing, although the defense can still request one at the superior court level.
Prior to the start of the new year, Sarah Blodgett, the executive director of the council, will be contacting various stakeholders to share the council's hopes for data collection, beginning Jan. 1. That information includes dispositional data from the courts, a breakdown of the cases submitted by law enforcement to county attorneys where no charges were filed or where only a stand-alone misdemeanor charge was filed, as well as intake data pre- and post-Felonies First from the county jails and state prisons.
State law mandates that the council submit a report to the Speaker of the House, Senate President and chairpersons of the Senate and House Judiciary Committees on Felonies First each year, beginning in July 2017 and ending in January 2020.
The council's most recent report – the second of its kind – was published in October and concluded that anecdotal information provided limited insight into the program. As a result, the council has convened twice since then to brainstorm ways communities can improve data collection on Felonies First, and retrain it for future review.

I went back and read through the blog post that accused Roman Catholicism of using Pagan symbolism, and thought that the ideas presented deserved a bit more treatment. Especially to show how the little research was done by the author.
The first picture we are shown is of a relief depicting the priests of Dagon, a fish god of some sort. After the intial image, we are shown another, also depicting a priest dressed as a fish. After these two images, we are shown Cybele, a goddess with a mitre on her head and a sunburst symbolism in the artwork depicting her. Then we are asked to compare it to an image of the Pope, seen here.
The picture of the Pope is to point out that his hat is a mitre, something worn in ancient depictions of the god Dagon, and the goddess Cybele. She also points out that there is a sunburst type symbol on the mitre which is also a symbol used in ancient paganism. The word mitre comes from an ancient Greek word mitra and meant (among other things) diadem. Now the Pope is not the first to wear a kind of a diadem as a symbol of their status. The priests of God were commanded to do so in the Old Testament:
For Aaron and his sons, they made tunics of fine linen—the work of a weaver- and the turban of fine linen, the linen headbands and the undergarments of finely twisted linen. The sash was of finely twisted linen and blue, purple and scarlet yarn—the work of an embroiderer—as the LORD commanded Moses.
They made the plate, the sacred diadem, out of pure gold and engraved on it, like an inscription on a seal: HOLY TO THE LORD. Then they fastened a blue cord to it to attach it to the turban, as the LORD commanded Moses. Exodus 39:27-31
So, if wearing a diadem was something that the Jewish priests did, wouldn't it be an equally valid comparison to compare the Catholic bishop or Pope's mitre to the Priests of the Old Testament? I find it highly doubtful that God, who worked so hard to show the difference between the Israelites and surrounding pagans, commanded his priests to dress like them. The modern mitre has developed over many years and has a long tradition. It's not a distinctly pagan symbol.
The sunburst symbol can be found throughout ancient paganism. That is true. But what does it mean as a Christian? When we read through the Bible we hear Christ described as light:
When Jesus spoke again to the people, he said, "I am the light of the world. Whoever follows me will never walk in darkness, but will have the light of life." John 8:12
If we see a sunburst or a light burst pattern symbol as a Christian, it is symbolic of Christ. The Light of the World, shining forth to lead us to the Father. I don't think a strong case can be made that it's symbolizing the sun god. Instead it symbolizes the Son God. I do wonder why she didn't attack the fish symbolism in Christianity after looking at those pictures of Dagon's priests.
Another symbol tackled by the blog post author is in regards to the distinct crucifix on the staff that the Pope carries with him. I'm surprised she didn't start with the upside down cross on the back of the Pope's chair. After all, what's so overtly satanic as an upside down cross, right? But, of course, had she done even the tiniest bit of research she would have learned that the upside down cross was first a Christian symbol. The Pope is considered to be the successor to St. Peter, who was crucified upside down. The upside down cross reminds us of Peter's humility and death. In fact, the upside down cross has long been a symbol used by Christians to honor the martyrs who considered themselves unworthy to die as our Savior did.
But back to the Pope's crucifix! It is, of course, nothing more than an artist's rendition of the crucifixion. The drooping wood meant to show the weight of Christ's suffering. I looked into the claims that the bent cross was used in the sixth century as a Satanic symbol, but could find nothing more that multiple sources pointing to one source and one person who doesn't back up that assertion with any real evidence. Still, even if we accept for a moment that it was true and that satanists corrupted the symbol of Christ on the Cross for their own purposes, how does that preclude us from taking back our own symbolism?
The author then moves to the pinecone on the staff of the Pope, as she points out, the pinecone is an ancient symbol of fertility. As I pointed out in my last post, however, we Christians are free to use all aspects of nature in our artwork and symbolism, as a reflection of God's beauty in His creation. Of course, she should probably be made aware that it's not actually a pine cone on the staff, but rocks. They're the rocks at the base of the cross at Golgotha.
She also points to various sunburst symbols in Catholicism, which I've covered, and then shows us a picture of St. Peter where he looks highly reminiscent of an ancient statue of Jupiter. She's right, it really does look like an ancient Greek or Roman statue of a God. The sunburst, of course, is really a halo, a symbol of his status as a Saint. A Saint would certainly be one who would shine God's light into the world, as we are told to do:
"You are the light of the world. A city on a hill cannot be hidden. Neither do people light a lamp and put it under a bowl. Instead they put it on its stand, and it gives light to everyone in the house. In the same way, let your light shine before men, that they may see your good deeds and praise your Father in heaven. Matthew 5:14-16
And I think it's fair to take into account the heavy influence of ancient Greek and Roman art on artists through many generations.
Our art and symbolism is important. But it is also important to share the truth about them, and not spread a spirit of fear amongst fellow Christians. Whether or not we agree on the Eucharist, we who call Christ "Savior" and can affirm the Gospel laid out in Scripture are all Christians.

StudyUp can help improve your grades by enabling you to store all of your notes online, and network with other students - all for FREE!
Sara Said:Can a Tier 4 college sponsor demand a monthly payment of tuition fees even though their license is suspended?
We Answered:They can ask but you would be mad to pay if the licence has actually been suspended. You need to look for another college immediately.
Mabel Said:Can i Change My college on Tier 4 Visa?
We Answered:Your visa is valid for a specific course at a specific college.
Now that you have completed the course for which it was issued, you must leave UK.
If you wish to study another, you must apply for it, be accepted and apply for a new visa while you are in your own country.
Margaret Said:Transferring to top tier colleges? is it easier to do from a 4 yr college or 2 yr college?
We Answered:I'm assuming you don't have any college credits yet...so here is my advice.....
You're in a good situation right now because you have a fresh start to basicially go just about anywhere you want to go. You say that top Universities don't respect transfers, well that is not true. They not only respect them and try to work with them, but they have a specific number of transfers that they try to recruit each semester. So here is what you need to do:
Go to a school where you'll be happy for your first year. It can be a CC, or a school that you can get into. I would reccommend the 4 year schools because it might be eaiser to transfer from there, talk to a counselor about the 2 year schools if you're looking at that. But any 4 year University or Community College is perfect. Get into one of those, work super hard, get the best grades you can, volunteer in the community, get good letter of rec., and you'll basicially be a model transfer student. Transfer to wherever you want to. The only thing I highly suggest from you is to transfer into the dorms when you make the transfer. The dorm experience is something I think you will enjoy and it's where you meet a lot of people. Just think of it as you have one year of experience under your belt, but you're starting as a Freshmen. Best of luck!
Janice Said:Are tier 4 colleges easier to graduate than tier 3 & 1?
We Answered:Lower ranked colleges offer easier classes because they don't get the top students, and can't expect too much of them as a result. Far more students drop out of lower ranked schools than top ranked schools, but that's because college has at least some standards unlike high school - you will need to do some work and demonstrate you learned the material. But yes, on the whole their classes will be easier than you'd get at a top school.
Joshua Said:are tier 4 colleges bad?
We Answered:Many tier 4 colleges are good and I would spend my money there ./

I´ll try to write this in chronological order but its hard to remember sometimes.
So first my Birthday. It was actually a pretty normal day. We did all of our normal work and had the normal hours. When we knelt down to pray in the morning my companion sang Happy Birthday to me with the other two missionaries we live with. We stopped at a little bakery and ate some cake and when we got home we made some mouse. It is kind of like a firm pudding but you can choose the flavour, super easy to make and really good.
We ate lunch at a member´s house and she kept telling me to eat more, so I did, again and again. Then I finally said I can't eat anymore, which apparently wasn't true because she dumped even more food on my plate and I ate that too. I almost exploded and puked everywhere. She meant well but I felt like I was about to die, especially because we leave the house after eating a ton to enter the blazing heat and walk a ton.
The other day we were teaching a lesson in the street to a younger kid. His family wasn't home and there is a rule you can't enter into a house with just little kids or with just girls. Anyways, we were in the middle of our lesson and a woman ran up to us and asked for some help. It seemed really urgent so I said yes and we went to go help. The way she explained it, made it seem like we would be lifting her husband from her house to an ambulance that couldn't make it up the hill. When we got there we realized we would be carrying her husband from the ambulance up this hill and a bunch of stairs to her house. The hill was easy but the stairs were very difficult especially because they were falling apart, but we were able to do it. Although at times I was scared we would drop him because we had to carry him on a chair and it was just a mess, but we made it to their house safe and sound. When we got to the house we had to carry him from the chair to his bed. This house was probably the dirtiest house I have ever seen in my life. It was literally straight off the show "Hoarders" with clothes and junk piled up to the ceiling and the only way through the house was through the alley ways made in the mountains of clothes.
This Sunday was the best in my mission. We brought 7 in-actives and 5 investigators to church – numbers that would be good for a transfer but we were blessed to do it in one week. They consisted of 3 less actives and one investigator that came. The other investigaotrs were part of the less active families.
Running out of time but we had tons of fun working with these families.

Railway track design is a complex art of engineering. Building a railway track is not easy. One has to be very sure about the consequences of building a railway track because even the minutest mistake can cause a lot of problems and result in fatal accidents. Good engineers have to be appointed to see that there are no problems while laying the track. Building a new railway track does not only mean placing iron tracks along the road.
There might be hindrances while laying the track and the hindrances has to be overcome. There might be a pond in the middle of the path or the track might pass through a forest. There might be mountains on both sides and the path might have to be blasted off. All of this requires lots of careful planning in advance. There are government deadlines to be met and there are the various budgets to be adhered to.
So a railway track design can only be a successful one if all these points are considered. It should also be said that the number of people working for an engineer is also essential. There might be fewer people to work but those people should be efficient. A railway track design should be made in such a way that it causes the least amount of environmental disturbances. Bridges might have to be built over rivers but that should not hinder the water life in any way. The life of the people in adjacent lands should also not be disturbed.
Hence it is seen that a railway track design requires a lot of expertise and time. But if all goes well, places will be joined by railways and people will find it so much easier to travel.
