The products from the action of cosynthetase on bilanes (31, (7) and (S), and also from chemical ring-closure at pH 8.25, were analyzed by HPLCtS1. The results (see Table 1) showed in each case that chemical ring-closure occurred with essentially no rearrangement. Importantly, ca. one third of the enzymic product from the reversed ring-D bilane (8) was uroporphyrinogen-I (5) arising from enzymic inversion of the terminal ring-D. Knowing the isomeric composition of the product and also the chemical and enzymic rates of ring-closure, it can be calculated that ca. 45% of bilane (8), ring-closed by cosynthetase, undergoes ring-D reversal to produce uroporphyrinogen-I (5). Although the reversed ring-C bilane (7) is a relatively poor substrate for cosynthetase, similar calculations show that in this case, the ring-closure promoted by cosynthetase, nevertheless, occurs with efficient formation (>95%) of uroporphyrinogen-IV ( l l ) ,presumably from inversion of the terminal ring"]. These results interlock with those obtained earlier['', in which deaminase and cosynthetase acted together on mymbers of a set of isomeric aminomethylbilanes (2, X=NH, and isomers). Interpretation of these early experiments was complicated by the fact that two enzymic steps were involved; thus, conversion of any of the aminomethyl into hydroxymethyl bilanes by deaminaset4'would enhance the rate of uroporphyrinogen formation, even when cosynthetase is not involved, as is the case for the reversed ring-B bilane (6). The present work focuses attention on cosynthetase alone and shows the following: (a) Cosynthetase is not an absolutely specific enzyme, but all the studied modifications of pyrrole rings produced a substantial adverse effect on affinity, rate of reaction and/or efficiency of the inversion process. (b) Cosynthetase has evolved to invert the terminal ring during ring-closure of the natural .hydroxymethylbilane (3) and will do a similar inversion when an isomeric hydroxymethylbilane acts as a substrate e. g . it does so efficiently (but slowly) with bilane (7) as substrate. (c) Cosynthetase will even partially turn back the terminal ring of bilane (8) in which ring-D had already been inverted by synthesis. This result excludes the possibility that formation of uroporphyrinogenI11 (4) from the regular hydroxymethylbilane (3) involves rearrangement of (3) into (8) as a first step.

Wenzel and Harald Tscheschel'] Dedicated to Professor Gerhard Pfreiderer on the occasion of his 60th birthday Low-molecular weight protein proteinase inhibitors inhibit serine-proteinases by reversible, substrate-analogous association at the active center of the enzyme1']. The specificity of an inhibitor is determined by the geometry of the amino acid residues at the contact surface and in most cases dominated by the amino acid Pl[3a,3bl in its reactive center. This is supported by comparison of the sequences of homologous inh i b i t o r ~ 'and ~ " ~in two cases by semisynthetic amino acid replacement~'~~]: thus, by enzymatic reactions P, = Arg could be replaced by Lys in the soybean inhibitor (Kunitz) and Pi = Lys by Arg in the inhibitor from bovine organs. The anti-tryptic activity of both proteins was preserved. Replacement of the basic amino acids by Trp converted the two inhibitors with primary specificity against trypsin into inhibitors with primary specificity against chymotrypsin. The "enzymatic mutation" has so far only been used with success in the case of basic and aromatic amino acids, since no suitable enzyme system could be found for other amino acids. We describe here a method which enables insertion of almost every amino acid in the position PI of the inhibitor (Kunitz) from bovine organs by a peptide-chemical method. The natural inhibitor (PI = Lys") inhibits trypsin extremely strongly, chymotrypsin strongly, leukocytic elastase scarcely, and pancreatic elastase not at all. (A projection of the a-carbon atoms of the inhibitor is shown in'".) The Lys1'-Ala16 peptide bond in the reactive site of the native inhibitor is hydrolyzed according to previously described methods; with carboxypeptidase B one then obtains the inactive modified des-Lys" inhibitort6! Water-soluble carbodiimides enable coupling of Val-OMe with the free carboxyl group of CysL4['1(Scheme 1). The product is an excellent inhibitor for elastase from human leukocytes. The maximum inhibition is only reached after several minutes; obviously the complex between elastase and Val15-inhibitor is formed relatively slowly. If this complex is dissociated by drastic lowering of the pH (kinetically controlled dissociation), an inhibitor is obtained which immediately inhibits elastase to the maximum. This finding suggests resynthesis of the peptide bond Vaf'S-Ala'6 by the proteinase during the complex formation'". The semisynthesis has so far also been carried out according to the same procedure with the methyl esters of Arg, Phe, Met, Leu, Ala and Gly. According to the amino-acid analysis of the crude material about 2.2 to 4.1 amino acids were inserted per inhibitor molecule, up to 0.3 thereof in the decisive position P1,i. e. 30% yield. The other part was coupled to the five carboxy groups (Asp3, Glu7, Glu4', AspSo,Ala5') already present in the unmodified inhibitor. These are so far removed from the reactive site, that their derivatization has hardly any influence on the inhibitor activity. ['I Prof. Dr. H. Tschesche, Dr. H. R.

TerrifierLeave a comment
May 15, 2017 by Kareem Youssef
Terrifier (2011)
A Damien Leone film short; Terrifier is an unapologetic tribute and possible love letter to Exploitation Horror. In a mere 20 minutes Leone shows us his mastery of the genre and reminds us all of why we love Horror.
Shot in the exploitation must of grainy camera quality, the Plot is a familiar one to us. A lone woman driving on halloween night stops to get gas. It is then we Meet Art, The Clown, being screamed at by the mechanic for smearing his feces in the bathroom. Art is a being of pure sadism, silent and malevolent he takes glee in agony.
Most killer clowns in horror are killers dressed as clowns and fail to incorporate the motif of a clown. As a result the rendition is dull and unmemorable. There is a whole tool-chest of the traditional clown; childlike demeanors, otherworldly aura, showmanship, props, and of course good humor.
Those qualities mixed with the Exploitation horror genre creates a true iconic character. The clown costume and makeup itself is great subtle black and white, that feels less ridiculous and more terrifying with the contrast of blood. I feel it'll also age well with the movie.
There is one gory scene considering the length with many more chilling and spooky images. The ending is shocking and menacing never shying away from the spirit of its roots, as it should be, because if anything the premise to this movie is this is a horrific nightmare.
The music adds superbly to the atmosphere as any good soundtrack is charged to do, I felt as though the most gruesome scenes used the sound to amplify its terror in a quite hypnotic fashion.
Art also appears in the horror anthology All Hollows Eve. (2013) which includes this short as well and a couple of others scenes that adds to Art's mythology and sadism. But by virtue of it being a anthology some stories are too disappointing (I.E. silly and having nothing to do with the rest of the story) for me to want to write a full review of it.
A future length Terrifier is slated to be released halloween 2017 which I am hotly anticipating as it's likely to be a contender for the next Iconic horror entity, and overall fantastic horror film.
As for this 20 minute gem, you won't regret finding it only will enhance the pleasure of watching his other film debuts.

The countries which lead in egg-and-spoon, three-legged and pantomime horse races
Almost all of the top Jamaican sprinters started their careers at Champs, the Jamaican Schools Championships. To a casual observer, it looks a lot like a school sports day and this is no coincidence. It comes from the same egg-and-spoon and sack racing heritage.
There are no eggs at Champs but they form part of the staple diet at Jamaican primary schools. World Indoor Champion, Juliet Campbell, developed a love for track and field while precariously carrying an egg across the finish line. In Jamaica, the menu is often varied, and so a lime is substituted instead, as the foodstuff to be kept finely balanced.
Like so many sports, egg-and-spoon races were spread across the world by the British Empire. From England (above), they found their way to Australia, the West Indies and South Asia. And like the egg, the fragile tradition has remained intact because of subtle adaptations to circumstances. In India, a lemon is carried on a spoon held in the mouth.
Four Legs Good, Three Legs Better
Great Britain leads the world in many unorthodox events, such as running a marathon dressed a pantomime horse. And, yes it has held onto the world record, which was set in 2012, when brothers Bill and Tom Casserley cantered along the streets of London.
In the three-legged race, other countries are a step ahead. The women's 50m record is held by East Germany, which turned even the most fun contest into a brutal expression of state power. At least it completed the race in the usual way, using two sprinters with legs tied together, rather than one with odd side effects from human growth hormone.
The men's record for the 100 yeards is held by a Olympic champion, Harry Hillman of the United States, with Lawson Robertson. Their time of 11 seconds was set in 1909.
A more recent Olympic gold medallist, Sally Pearson (above), sought to get her name into the record books in 2013. The Australian hurdler tried to break the 100m record for the egg-and-spoon race. She took the attempt almost too seriously, insisting that a 50m track be extended so that she would not lose any precious seconds turning round.
The previous best, held by serial record breaker Asrita Furman, was 19.39 seconds but Pearson finished in 16.59 seconds. She didn't just smash the record – she scrambled it.
Green and Golden Eggs
Great Britain dominates the longer egg-and-spoon races but Australia is mounting a challenge there too. Dale Lyons holds the marathon record but Phil Rorke, the Aussie who holds the mile record, tried to take it from his British rival. He made two attempts in 2014 but dropped the egg twice, and so he failed to claim the egg-and-spoon Ashes.
This is a surprise. Great Britain invented many sports but has been overtaken in most, by Jamaica in sprinting, India in cricket, and Australia in another egg-shaped pursuit.
On the other hand, Great Britain is the land of cheese rolling, bog snorkelling and welly wanging. It remains tough to beat in egg-and-spoon races and pantomime horse racing too. Nobody else, not even those wacky Australians, can quite match it for eccentricity.

text: EE or Amricauna? Pullet or Cockerel? I'm not sure how old it is. I thought it was a pullet (the way she followed the lead roo around and was his favorite) but I haven't seen any eggs... And she's gettin awful big so I'm guessing it's standerd size. ETA: it's beard was MUCH bigger but I had to cut it all off because it had lice eggs stuck in it bad.

I have a sudden thought to sleep and wake up to the holidays back in M1 when holidays are holidays. I'll be packing my house to prepare for the move, appreciate everyday that I can sleep in, wake up to happy texts and not have a care for the world.
I'm sure I've grown to be somewhat better in many areas with some trips and stumbles over the years nonetheless. And I perhaps won't change anything from the past. But it'll be nice for those mellowing moments to stretch out a bit and for the next few harrowing months to not come so soon.
So strange to think that I'm moving on to another phase in life when I'm feeling really comfortable at where I am. Alas, time and tide waits for no man.

Electricity production share from wind has been growing in the U.S. and electricity production share from coal has been declining over the last few years.
Thats good news!
In 1997 coal was 52.8% of U.S. production.
2004 coal was 49.8% ( went under 50% for the first time )
2006 coal was 49%
2008 coal was still 48.5%
The 12 months period July 2008 to June 2009 coal was 46.6% ( call this period 2008-09 )
From 1997 to 2008-09 electricity from non-hydro renewables is up from 2.1% to 3.2%, mostly from growth in wind power ( this growth has actually all happened in the last 4 years ) The growth of wind can't explain all of the decline in coal.
Turns out that natural gas is way up from 13.7% in 1999 to 22.1% in 2008-09.
Why is coal down so much in the last 12 months?
Overall electricity use is down significantly in the last 9 months.
But that decline is all in one sector – residential electricity use is down 1% and commercial electricity use is down 2% and industrial electricity use is down 13%.
Natural gas is burst electricity, it's what companies spin up for the peak of the day when we all turn on our lights and AC and TVs – anything that varies during the day – residential and commercial.
Industrial use has more round the clock use, so that means coal and nuclear. Between coal and nuclear, you turn off coal first.
Okay but why is electricity from coal ( as a percentage of total production ) down over the long term?
Going back to look at the last 10 years, its pretty obvious that the residential use has been growing while industrial use is pretty flat.
That explains why natural gas has been gaining share on coal over that time.
Wind power is growing, but its still a minor player.

India clocks 7.7 per cent GDP growth for Q4FY18
Growth for Asia's third-largest economy, reported by the Ministry of Statistics, trumped forecasts in a Reuters poll for annual growth of 7.3 per cent. GDP had grown at a revised 7 per cent in October-December quarter. However, for the fiscal year that ended March 31, India's growth rate works out to 6.7 per cent, down from 7.1 per cent in 2016-17.
India's GDP growth rate of 7.7 percent, recorded in the fourth quarter of 2017-2018, shows that the country's economy was on an uptrend, said president of Federation of Indian Chambers of Commerce and Industry (FICCI) Rashesh Shah on Friday. For the whole year 2017-18, the growth rate declined to 6.7 percent compared to 7.1 percent last year. GVA (ex-agriculture and government services) eased to 7.2% from 7.4%, reflecting softness in some of the private services (trade and financial services).
Construction activity jumped to 11.5 percent during January-March, after a 3.9 percent drop in the year-ago period. "On balance, GDP and GVA growth are expected to improve to 7.1% and 7.0%, respectively, in FY2019, from 6.7% and 6.5%, respectively, in FY2018".
The 9.0% growth of capital goods and the expansion in the GoI's capital spending in January-February 2018 are likely to have contributed to the healthy expansion of gross fixed capital formation (GFCF) in the just-concluded quarter. The Q1 GDP data should give the monetary policy committee enough comfort (on growth) to focus on upside inflation risks.
Denmark passes burqa ban
The government said it was not aimed at any religion in particular and was not banning headscarves, turbans or Jewish skull caps. On Thursday, Denmark became the latest in a string of European countries to ban the wearing of full-face coverings in public.
Consumption, which accounts for almost 70 per cent of the US$2.5 trillion (RM9.95 trillion) economy likely remained firm, supporting economic growth as reflected in the higher sales of consumer durables and vehicles. However, the quarterly growth showed significant improvement over the previous quarters.
"Global oil prices will affect inflation and thereby challenge the central bank to hike interest rates", said Datar, referring to next month's monetary policy meeting of the Reserve Bank of India.
"While Indian economy is in cyclical recovery led by both investment and consumption, however, higher oil prices and tighter financial conditions will weigh on the pace of acceleration", Assocham secretary general D S Rawat said. Possibly, the biggest risk could be rising crude oil prices, which this month hit $80 a barrel, their highest since 2014.
"We have cut our FY19 GDP forecast by 20 basis points taking into account rising oil prices and potential global trade wars", said Teresa John, economist, Nirmal Bang Institutional Equities in Mumbai.

Recipe: Kabocha Flan
Flan is a traditionally French dessert, a creamy, caramel-y custard (similar to crème brulee). The main difference is that flan has a soft, liquid caramel on top vs. the hard, caramel shell of crème brulee. In Europe it's often made with a pastry crust, but the type we're used to in the United States is a Latin American take on the dish using condensed milk, without any crust or shell.
I use fresh kabocha squash in this recipe, though pumpkin or butternut squash are both great choices as well. You can use canned squash but honestly, that's my last choice. In order of preference: fresh, frozen, and lastly, canned. And if you use canned, don't use the brand called Farmers Market Organic Pumpkin. It's gross. However, to each his own and any type of winter squash works.
Kabocha Flan
Serves 12-15
- 2 medium kabocha squash, halved and seeded
- 1 cup sugar
- 1 12-ounce can of 2% evaporated milk
- 1 14-ounce can of condensed milk
- 5 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- ½ teaspoon ground cloves
- ½ teaspoon ground ginger
- ½ teaspoon ground allspice
- 2 teaspoons vanilla or almond extract
Preheat the oven to 350°F. Fill a roasting pan about ½ with water. Place the squash, cut side down, in the pan and roast for about 35 minutes or until the squash is easily pierced with a knife. Remove from the oven. Once the squash is cool enough to touch, scoop out the flesh and reserve 2 cups (freeze the rest for another flan or make tamales!).
Find a pan (i.e. a 10-inch pie pan or 8×8 glass roasting pan) that fits inside another pan). Have it close when making the caramel. In a medium sauce pan over high heat, bring 1 cup of sugar and 1 cup of water to a boil, stirring constantly. When it starts to turn golden, reduce the heat and remove immediately when the mixture becomes a warm, copper color. This reaction happens quickly, so be careful not to burn it! Also, hot sugar is very hot so please be careful. When the caramel is copper colored, pour it into the pie pan and using pot holders, swirl the caramel around the bottom and sides. Set aside.
In a large bowl (if you have an immersion blender) or food processer combine the other ingredients and blend until smooth. Pour into the pie tin and place it inside the roasting pan. Fill the roasting pan with water about halfway up the side of the pie tin and roast for about 60 minutes. The flan is done when a knife inserted into the middle comes out clean.
Let the flan cool for about 45 minutes and then refrigerate for at least 2 hours until it sets.

Even Eddie Murphy's new family-friendly reputation wasn't enough to declaw
Dr. Seuss' "The Cat in the Hat." The second big-screen adaptation of a book by the beloved children's author barely squeaked by Murphy's family spookfest with $25.6
million from Friday to Sunday, according to studio estimates, topping the heap
for a second week in a row despite losing more than a third of its audience.
There was a bit of confusion for a few hours on Sunday after the Cat's
studio, Universal, said a junior employee released the wrong totals, which put the
film behind Murphy's for the weekend.
"The Haunted Mansion" brought in $25.3 million for an estimated total of $35
million since its Wednesday debut, which put it slightly ahead of Mike
Myers' roundly reviled turn in the children's classic for the five-day holiday
period (see "Mike Myers, Alec Baldwin On How They Skinned Seuss' 'Cat' "). Rounding out the top three was another family flick, Will Ferrell's "Elf,"
which had another strong week, taking in $22.2 million for a four-week total
of $130.1 million. "Elf" was the only movie already in release to have an
audience gain for the weekend, picking up 18 percent more fans.
The Halle Berry thriller "Gothika" grossed an estimated $12.7 million to
land in fourth place, followed by the Russell Crowe nautical adventure "Master
and Commander" at $12.7 million.
A movie that was definitely not safe for the whole family, the dirty-minded
"Bad Santa," starring Billy Bob Thornton as a mean-spirited St. Nick who robs
department stores, debuted at #6 with an estimated $12.5 million from Friday to
Just four weeks into its run, "The Matrix Revolutions" dropped out of the top
10, falling to #11 with grosses of $4.5 million. A number of smaller films
did well in limited release, among them the Sean Penn-topped "21 Grams," which
took in just under $1 million, as well as Jim Sheridan's ("In the Name of the
Father") semi-autobiographical film "In America," which banked over $200,000 in
just 11 theaters.
The Wednesday-to-Sunday take of $209.5 million is expected to go down as the
second-best Thanksgiving haul ever, beating out 1999's $208 million, but
slightly behind 2000's $232.2 million, which was boosted by Dr. Seuss' "How the
Grinch Stole Christmas."
The near-record numbers were an eight percent improvement over the same
period last year.
The rest of the top 10: "The Missing" at #7 with $11.7 million;
"Timeline" at #8 with $8.5 million; "Love Actually" at #9 with $8.2 million and
"Brother Bear" at #10 with $4.9 million.

Oh, I can reach down low.
Oh, I can clap real fast.
Oh, I can clap real slow.
I can do so many things,
I can twirl around.
That's what I can do!
Oh, I can point up high,
Oh, I can point down low.
Oh, I can march real fast.
Oh, I can march real slow.
I can do so many things,
I can twirl around.
That's what I can do!
Movement Activity: The Sleepy Firefighter
The sleepy firefighter climbs into bed (Yawn and stretch)
Down on the pillow he lays his head (Put head on hands and pretend to sleep)
Off goes the alarm (Clap)
And down the pole he slides (Make sliding down motion with hands)
He jumps into the truck
And to the fire he rides (Make driving motion with hands)

Christmas trees, Christmas songs, Christmas greetings, and most everything else the western church associates with the holiday are banned. According to at least one imam, those celebrations "are against Islamic faith."
The anti-Christmas, anti-Christian sentiment runs so high that Muslims can be punished for wearing "hats or clothes that resemble Santa Claus"! Can you even imagine what it would be like to be forced to celebrate Christmas in secret?
On Thursday, I sent an email asking LRI friends to consider making a "Gift of Hope" donation on behalf of persecuted Christians in the Middle East. As of yesterday, 85 percent of those emails were still unopened. And only a few of those who read my update took action to help.
So, I'm sending that message again, hoping you'll have time this weekend to consider blessing brothers and sisters in Muslim-majority nations with a "Gift of Hope" this Christmas. Please see below, or click here to help now — Mat.

From the Desk of:
Mat Staver, President
Liberty Relief International
Dear Friend
This Christmas, Liberty Relief International (LRI) wants to support efforts to help ease the pain and suffering of persecuted Christians and other religious minorities in the Middle East. One of our Christ-centered partners is caring for refugees in northern Iraq, while also supplying Bibles and other much-needed resources to conflict-ridden areas in the region.
Millions of believers are living under the oppression and brutality of ISIS evil and civil war. Please help us lift up persecuted brothers and sisters who face food, water, and other shortages, as well as threats of kidnapping, torture, rape, and death at the hands of barbaric terrorists. Not even children are safe from ISIS atrocities and the horrors of war.
Will you stand with LRI to help persecuted Christians and others suffering under oppression and brutality? Please click here or on the DONATE button below to make a tax-deductible "Gift of Hope" in support of LRI's outreach efforts:
Our Middle East ministry partner is working on the front lines to deliver relief supplies and discipleship materials to men, women, and children touched by horrific ISIS evil and devastating civil war. They urgently need our support to help as many refugees and displaced people as possible.
God bless you,
P.S. By making a special "Gift of Hope" to LRI right now, you can minister to the needs of persecuted believers and others in desperate situations. Will you please take action with your tax-deductible donation to help ease the pain and suffering of those living under oppression and brutality in the Middle East?

So there is a famous fast food sandwich chain which does some amazing meatball subs. But why leave the house when your can create this dish at home. For this slow cooker lunch you can put it on in the morning and do whatever you need to do and have a hot lunch waiting for you. This was served with marinara nachos which takes 5 minutes in the oven, so no time wasted at all. Let's get stuck into it.
- 250g minced beef
- 1 carton of passata
- 1 tbs of sugar
- 2 tsp of mixed herbs
- 1 tsp of dried basil
- 3 tsp of garlic granules
- 2 tsp of paprika
- 1 tsp of chilli powder
- Pinches of salt and pepper
- 100g of cheese
- A bag of tortilla chips
- Place the mince in a mixing bowl with 1 tsp of paprika, 1 tsp of garlic granules, 1 tsp of mixed herbs and some salt and pepper.
- Get your hands stuck in and mix all together.
- Create the meatballs by rolling a bit of the mixture in your hands until they become balls. We managed to make six out of the mixture however this is all size dependent and down to how big you like your balls to be.
- Onto the sauce, in the slow cooker pot add the passata, sugar, chilli powder, paprika, garlic granules, mixed herbs and basil.
- Mix all together.
- Place the meatballs in and using a spoon, cover the meatballs with the sauce.
- Cook this on high for 2 hours.
- Spoon the meatballs into sub style rolls (we had three meatballs in each) and sprinkle with cheese on the meatballs.
to the nachos
- Place the tortilla chips onto a baking tray.
- With the leftover sauce scatter over the tortilla chips.
- Grate the cheese and sprinkle on top.
- Bake in the oven for 5 minutes of 180 degrees.
- Serve with the subs
You won't regret the choice of making it yourself as they are absolutely gorgeous. A very filling lunch that will sort you out until dinner!!

After you finish gazing at David Bowie's radiant orange hair and contemplating whether or not you should try to go as bold with your look this Spring (chances are your complexion won't be so forgiving should you make this decision so maybe try an orange lip instead,) let's chat about the days of the week.
Monday is hard but there's at least that feeling of a fresh start. You're back to your routine, it's a great day to start a diet or new workout regiment, you can wear your new outfit and/or jewelry you picked up while shopping Saturday and show off your best runway impression to the office. Monday is hard. But bearable.
Wednesday you can look at your watch at 12:00 and say with a huge sigh of relief "I've made it halfway through the week."
Thursday (or as I like to call it, pre-Friday) is a day to start planning and getting excited for Friday night.
Friday is Friday. Payday for most. The end of the week. A celebration of freedom.
Saturday is just the greatest. If it's beautiful outside you can go out an enjoy it. If it's cold you can stay in cuddled up by the fire or in bed with a book and hot cocoa. The day is yours to do with as you please!
Sunday is the day that you can still enjoy having off but at the same time, towards the end of it you get that sinking feeling that it's back to work again the next morning so your responsibility trigger goes off and you're in bed at a decent time but with the fondness of the weekend you got to enjoy.
You know who's not on here? Tuesday. Because Tuesday is the absolute worst. Why? Because it's not Monday so you don't get your fresh start and memories of the weekend anymore and it's not Wednesday so you still have the entire week you have to drag yourself through. Whoever decided Monday's are the worst must have been slipped a $50 while no one was looking.
So if you're with me and agree that Tuesday's suck (or if you just want to enjoy some good old entertainment to get you through anyways,) enjoy this video of Lady Gaga doing a tribute to the late (great) David Bowie at last nights Grammy awards.
I hope your Tuesday feels a little bit more like a Thursday now.
Now get out there and show the world (your coworkers) your best David Bowie impression and give it your all!

Um, so today's prompt was to Google 'Weird News' and write the first story that came up and it was… um… interesting. My initial thought was… oh… God.
So before you dive in I just want to stress that the characters in this story are NOT meant to represent real people. It's a real story, about real positions within the White House but the characters I created are entirely fictional. I'm British and a bit dumb when it comes to politics – I don't even know who the actual Chief of Staff is (or how his hairline is doing). Seriously, I'm clueless. This thing is based more on the West Wing than real life…
"How did he get in?"
"I don't know, sir, we're still investigating."
The Chief of Staff ran his fingers through his thinning hair. This was his dream job, why did it feel like a nightmare?
"Has it really only been eight months? Don't… answer that."
"Yes, sir."
"You can go now, but I want to know immediately if you find anything else out."
"Of course, sir." Wallace backed out of the office and closed the door gently behind him. He'd been yelled at more than once for letting it slam. Delicacy was just not something they taught you in the Marines.
He'd made his Momma proud when he was appointed White House Head of Security. And since the inauguration he'd seen threat after threat just around the corner. He was constantly on edge but nothing had got past him yet.
He wasn't about to let some sneaky punk make him let his Momma down.
As he approached the second floor of the Executive Residence he heard the President's continued yelling. Wallace understood that he was naturally shaken by the security breach but he seemed more concerned with fixing his appearance than finding the culprit.
"Willis," he said as soon as he saw the burly Head of Security, "have you found out who did this?"
"Not yet, Mr President," Wallace replied, resisting the urge to correct the Commander in Chief: he was hardly going to start getting his name right eight months down the line.
"Get on with it then," he waved his hands and turned back to yelling at the huddle of nervous-looking staff all trying to calm him down.
Wallace nodded and gestured to his second-in-command, Ramirez, to follow him out in to the hallway.
"Anything?" he asked in hushed tones.
"Nothing. Everything was locked down, still is locked down, no sign of forced entry – in fact, there's no sign anyone has even been here, it's… a total mystery."
"Ain't no such thing, we'll get to the bottom of it," Wallace clapped his deputy on the shoulder, "have we gone through all the CCTV?"
"Combing through it now," Ramirez nodded, "zilch so far."
Wallace grunted, "I need more coffee."
He started to turn in the direction of the kitchen but stopped when he saw an aide scoot past him into the President's suite.
Her face was white as a sheet, shoulders hunched as if to protect herself. Wallace's trained senses honed in on the danger immediately.
He watched from the doorway as the young woman approached the President. He couldn't hear her words over the ruckus but he saw her shakily hand over a folder.
A hush fell over the crowded reception room as the President opened the folder and read the memo within.
"Who did you say this was from?"
The aide cleared her throat, "North Korea, Mr President."
"Wallace!" the President shouted.
Wallace hurried over and quickly read the memo the President held out to him.
"I want this sorted out by noon," he said, not waiting for an answer before striding into his bedroom and slamming the door behind him.
Wallace frowned and gestured for his entire team to follow him into the empty meeting room next door.
He waited for the last junior officer to close the door behind himself before speaking.
"I'm just going to say this straight out. There's been another incident in North Korea. Exactly like this one. No signs of forced entry, no signs of the culprit."
"Exactly like this one?" Asked Ramirez, raising his eyebrows, "even with the… " He gestured to his shaved head.
Wallace nodded, "someone, somehow, for some reason, has switched their hair."

Green Vacation
July 10, 2007 at 5:05 am Leave a comment
We just got back from an amazing week at Savary Island in Beautiful British Columbia. We made a choice to have a green vacation. We stayed local. We packed light. We didn't fly. We did drive but we left our car behind in Lund. We used bikes, a bike trailer and our feet to do most of our explorations around the island. We used solar power (Savary Island is "off-the-grid" most cabins are powered by a combination of solar, wind and generators. More info on our little cabin can be found here.) We watched our water use as all water is drawn from a well and filling the two 40L tanks was the only time we used our back-up generator. We left the computers, tv, etc at home and were entertained daily by eagles, hawks, deer, numerous other birds and an amazing variety of sea life. We were very conscious of producing as little garbage as possible as we had to take it off the island with us. We had a great time and would go back in a heart beat!
More photos of our adventures here.

May and June are my favourite walking months, not least because it is the greenest time of the year. But this year, with ideal growing conditions for nettles and the like, it seems things might be just a bit too green and pleasant out there…
I associate May and June with lots of the things I love about countryside walking … woodland wildflowers, longer days, frolicking lambs, trees bursting into leaf, fledgling birds, early butterflies and hedgerows brimming with haw blossom. Oh yes, and Chris Packham and the brilliant Springwatch team reporting live from Minsmere with stories of everything from sticklebacks to sparrowhawks.
In fact, for me (as a dog owner) the only downside of these months is the increased risk of difficult cattle encounters while the herds are (understandably!) protecting their calves. But it's not just about what May and June bring to the table, it's also about the things that are notably absent at this time of year. It's too early for wasps, (usually) too dry for deep mud and (usually) too early for the nettles, brambles and scrub to have staked their claim on the narrower footpaths.
But not so this year it seems. As first I thought I was imagining it, but I've been chatting to lots of other walkers and they seem to agree. It appears 2016 might just be the year of the nettle. Particularly in the south east, the weather conditions this year have been mild but very wet. This, it seems, has led to jungle like growing conditions. And whilst I'm grateful for that when it comes to our allotment, it's not such great news for some walking routes. For the next few months you are very likely to come across overgrown sections of public footpaths, low hanging branches laden with foliage and nettles and brambles waist high and above.
No use moaning though…nature will always challenge us and it's our job to adapt and cope. So here's my tips for surviving the green and pleasant jungle season…
- Wear trousers not shorts, that way you'll have a bit more protection from nettle and thistle stings
- Carry a stick to help beat back the undergrowth, this will help you and also the walkers that follow you…you can get some really good folding ones meaning they slot nicely in your bag and can be pulled out only when needed
- Carry a light pair of secateurs to cut back any difficult brambles or thorny stems…again this will help you and also your fellow walkers
- Walk more! Walking footpaths is the best way of keeping them open and keeping the undergrowth in check
So happy summer walking and enjoy the jungle season!

I have read a few different blogs over the past year or so mentioning how few people can—or maybe moreso choose to—describe the actual personalities of their dogs. Its sort of a daunting task. Its easy to talk about training goals and failures, or the naughty thing your dog does that makes you crazy, but its a much trickier act to describe the unique personalities of animals who dont speak our language. Its tempting to call them loyal, or loving, or playful–and maybe they are some or all of those things–but aren't most dogs? The more dogs I meet via training and work–and that's a hell of a lotta dogs at this point already–the more I realize how interesting and chock full of personality they all are. I tend to fall in love with the bullish ones that are smart to a fault, usually the ones that cause the most trouble. Hmmm, maybe because that describes the majority of my household?
I have been thinking a lot about my three lately and how different they all are. (And there's another blog post topic in there as well for the future; how totally different dogs int he same household often seem to have similar/same issues. But that's for another day.) Here is my half-hearted quick attempt at analyzing my pack of three. Part One.
Diego. Number One. Used to be of solo status. Formerly known as "Mr. Brown" by the psychotic rescue lady we pilfered him from. The Chihuahua mix of questionable origins and rough starts. Surely a street dog, Diego wears his heart on his sleeve. He has come a long way in the four years we've had him. Day one he was so terrified he pooped himself and ran away from us, screaming at the presence of any medium to large do that came too close; last night he was contentedly tottering off leash around all sorts of unfamiliar people and big dogs outside agility class, hunting for treats.
He comes off as a "submissive" dog, but really I have learned he uses his weenie-ness to get his way and control his universe. Dont want to go into your crate as we are leaving? Roll over on your back and act as if we are threatening 40 lashes to get some sympathy and delay the inevitable. Really, really want that chicken I am cooking? Dance around at the edge of the kitchen and flash that submissive grin–aka "vampire face". Think the other whippersnappers are getting too wild roaring around the backyard? Jump in and Fun Police those MoFos back into place. He may act like the biggest wussie of them all yet he manages to run the show. It's not a calculated strategy, it just works for him.
Also, rock his world and pay the consequences. When things are out of order he follows me around whining for reasons I often dont understand. When he's really feeling insecure he will make himself feel better by marking something that is Dry Clean Only.
He has an inner clock that runs on Pacific Standard Time, more accurate than my iPhone. If its 3min past 6pm and I am not heading towards the kitchen I get the hairy eyeball and usually some sort of aggravated "Get Me My Dinner Woman!!!" song and tapdance.
We call him the Good Dog as he is usually the best at flying under the radar, his actual "Good Dog" abilities aside. I feel bad for not giving him more individual attention sometimes, but at the same time, I do think he really enjoys just being the Team Manager. He loves being in his special First Class crate in the car while the riff raff jostle around in Coach in the back. He loves agility trials if for no other reason than to get some time in the sun and roll in smelly worms while everyone else has "work" to do.
His off-leash reliability is a dream and has 99% to do with his personality and only 1% to do with me and my training abilities. He came built in wanting face time with his people and a food drive that matches a grizzly bear. I have NEVER, ever, seen him turn down food (okay, he hates raw chicken, go figure). Which means I should be doing a hell of a lot more training with him than I do. I thank my Number One for his patience and for being my first dog as an "adult". He has put up with a lot from us—moves, stress, travel, additions of more animals, foster and permanent—and yet is always there at the end of the day giving us his little tapdances, just happy to see us.

I am looking for a felt X city 2 in a 55 cm frame
Do you have one for sale?
Which capital city cycles are you? There are a number on the web so I don't know which city you are in.
Do you have the x-city 2 in 54/55? Thanks

The Kingdom of Personalities is like unto a plot of earth, which when turned over and aerated, and then amended, grew new crops of healthy plants. And the soil amendments are the elements of personality in the peoples of the world. We have to have each other's elements if we are to produce a world of health and generosity.
Soil which is good for grapes needs to be on the side of a hill instead of at the bottom of a bog. And the bog changes the soil, and the soil changes the bog.
If all the elements come together in the proper proportions, and the resulting soil is in the right place for the job, bounty results. If not, not. This is why we need each other, and why different people are needed for different reasons at different times. This is why the question put to Esther, wondering if she were here "for such a time as this," is important for all of us. Are you here (wherever you are) for such a time as this?

Consumer Theory
In the previous lectures, we simply made use of given supply and demand curves. Now we are going to start looking at how the curves are made. We shall start by focusing on the demand curves in the study of consumer theory.
All consumer-related behavior in economics revolves around utility maximization. In order to do these, we need to take into account consumer preferences, budget constraints, and perform constraint optimization. In the most basic sense, we will look at the tradeoff between two goods and how the consumer will choose between them.
In summary, we will need to:
1) Make assumptions about preferences
2) Translate these assumptions into utility functions
3) Add budget constraints and perform maximization
In order to model preferences across goods, we will need to impose the following assumptions to make our modeling simpler:
1) Completeness - When we compare two bundles of goods, we would prefer one or the other but never equally. In other words, you can always make a choice between them.
2) Transitivity - If we prefer x to y, and y to z, then we will prefer x to z.
3) Non-Satiation - More is always better and we will never be satisfied. We will never turn down having more.
Indifference Curves
These curves are somewhat like preference maps. These are the graphical representation of people's preferences.
Suppose that your parents gave you some money and you want to decide between pizza or movies. We can have the following choices.
Assume that we are indifferent between two pizzas and one movie, and one pizza and two movies. Clearly we would prefer two pizzas and two movies better than either of them. An indifference curve is a curve which shows all combinations of assumptions that the consumer is indifferent. Example curves based on the above statements can be shown as such:
From the assumptions of consumers above, we have the following properties of indifference curves:
1) Due to the non-satiation assumption, consumers will prefer higher indifference curves.
2) Due to non-satiation, we can also say that indifference curves are always downward sloping. If it is upward sloping, then there can be a case where we are indifferent between 2 pizza and 2 movies and 1 pizza and 2 movies.
3) Indifference curves cannot cross. If the curves cross, there would be a case where we are indifferent between two choices even though one of it has more, which violates non-satiation.
4) Completeness also implies that we cannot have more than one indifference curves through a point.
Utility functions are just a mathematical representation of the preference maps. We simply need to maximize the utility function to see what the user would choose.
An example utility function can be U = sqrt(M*P). This is something that is empirical that we come up with and this is not the only utility function we can come up with. However, this is consistent with the indifference maps.
Marginal utility refers to the amount utility changes with each change of the unit. In other words, it is the (partial) derivative of the utility function.
An example of a diminishing marginal utility is shown below:
We can see that each additional movie improves the utility, but it increases at a diminishing rate. Marginal utility would usually be diminishing, but at different rates for different goods. However, marginal utility will always be positive due to non-satiation.
The Delta Marginal Utility graph can show us the actual contributions of each pizza.
Marginal Rate of Substitution
The MRS links the utility to the preference map. The MRS is the slope of the indifference curve, which is dP/dM. It is the rate at which we are willing to trade off the y-axis for the x-axis. For example, it is how many pizzas we are willing to trade off to get another movie. It purely comes from the preferences.
We will refer to the following diagram and attempt to compute the MRS for each segment.
From the first segment to the second, we have an MRS of -2, because we are willing to give up 2 movies for 1 pizzas. However, the MRS of the second to the third segment is -0.5. This is because when we have 4 pizzas, the last pizza has a very low marginal utility. However its, marginal utility is increasing the lower number of pizzas we have.
In general, we have:
Marginal utility is a negative function of quantity. The lower quantity we have, the higher the marginal utility, which is why we flip the X and Y axis.
