Overview of Cell Biology:
Prokaryotic cells of the Eubacteria and Archaea differ from eukaryotic cells in genetics, metabolism, and cell structure (lack of a nuclear membrane, lack of organelles, differences in cell walls). Prokaryotic flagellae and adhesion molecules participate in prokaryotic chemotaxis.
Table Comparisons of Eubacteria, Archaea, and Eukaryotes Cell walls of Prokaryotes Electron acceptors for respiration and methanogenesis in prokaryotes Glycolysis in bacteria Lithotrophic prokaryotes Comparison of Plant and Bacterial Photosynthesis Structure of bacteriochlorophylls
The cells of eukaryotic organisms are larger and structurally more complex than those of prokaryotes. Eukaryotic cells are divided into functional compartments (cytoplasm, organellar lumens, nucleus, vacuoles, vesicles) by a variety of cell membranes. Membrane-bound subcellular energy plastids (chloroplasts, mitochondria) were acquired through serial endosymbiotic events about 1 billion years ago. Cellular compartments include the nucleus, which communicates with the cytoplasm by way of nuclear pores and the endoplasmic reticulum. Cytoplasmic compartments include the cytoskeleton (microtubules, microfilaments, intermediate filaments, basal bodies and centrioles) specialized vesicular structures such as the endoplasmic reticulum, Golgi apparatus, proteasomes, lysosomes, plant vacuoles, endosomes and exosomes, and energy organelles (chloroplasts, mitochondria).
Cells perform a wide variety of physiological functions such as active transport and intracellular transport; proliferation, differentiation, the cellular stress response, and programmed cell death; they respond to the environment through chemotaxis, energy transduction, and signaling; and move materials into the cell through phagocytosis, pinocytosis, and receptor-mediated endocytosis.
Cell membranes comprise phospholipids, sugars, and specialized proteins and perform a variety of functions such as adhesion, cellular communication, and maintenance of concentration gradients by active transport. These activities procede by means of specialized adhesion molecules, signaling molecules, ion channels and pumps, and receptor proteins.
The cell's cytoskeleton participates in chemotaxis, intracellular transport, and cell-to-cell adhesion. The cytoskeleton interacts with the extracellular environnment by way of transmembrane adhesion molecules (CAMs) and through surface protuberances such as cilia and flagellae (with various functions as mechanoreceptors, chemoreceptors, and the outer segment of the rods in the vertebrate retina). The centriolar components of the cytoskeleton organize the spindle apparatus on which the nuclear chromosomes translocate during mitosis and meiosis, phases of the reproductive cell cycle.
In multicellular organism, proliferation of cells must be balanced by cell death, usually through programmed, non-inflammatory apoptosis.

This miss A Mini-Album "Touch"es My Heart
by Lea:
Miss A is a 4 member girl group formed under JYP Entertainment. Their members are a mix of Korean and Chinese members. Members Min and Suzy are of Korean descent while Fei and Jia are both Chinese born. Having official debuted in 2010 with the single "Bad Girl Good Girl", the girls have to date released a subsequent mini-album entitled "Step Up" and a full length album called "A Class."
On February 20th, Miss A released their 4th mini-album "Touch." Consisting of six total tracks, one of which is a remix, Touch is the title song and is scheduled to be promoted by Miss A starting Feb 24th.
Track Breakdown –
Touch : A hypnotic dance beat reverberates throughout the piece. A sprinkling of more tinny sounding notes interrupted by a deeper bass drum opens the song. With lyrics about one "touching my heart," the vocals sound more soulful than previous Miss A songs.
Lips : A more upbeat tempo track with more electronic dance beat. With the club feel the lyrics are delivered with more of a sharp precision, almost rap style until the chorus. Bridge gives an infusion of the soulful feel from Touch. However with a dance break area of just beats, the club feel is not lost.
Rock N'Rule : Another upbeat track, however, with subtle difference can be found in this song. With a higher pitched song, this song has uplifting lyrics about rocking and ruling the night. With less bass and more electronic sounding funk, the combination makes it again made for dancing. A Dubstep-ish dance break pause in the lyrics tie in the elements perfectly.
No Mercy : A very bass heavy but upbeat track that starts off making you thing of "Mercy" made famous by Duffy. However that is quickly changed into a track that while still has that jazzy underbeat is a very different beast. A more retro feel despite the electronic effects comes across. The song's title is found throughout the hook, as the lyrics "no mercy" are repeated several times.
Over U : The girls keep up with the dance/electronic beats through at this one. However, this one feels more like the Miss A from "A Class." With a hook of, "I am so over you," this bears a striking resemblance in beat and sound to "Goodbye Baby." A heavier bass line and faster delivery of the song make this very club appropriate as well.
Touch (Newport Remix) : With more of an R&B feel, this track starts with a piano instead of the dance beat. Slowing the tempo down slightly, the song becomes more heartfelt. The soulful delivery of the lyrics suits with the simplistic piano and snare drum background music.
Review –
First and foremost, I must say Miss A put together an album that really goes well together. Most of the time groups have songs that don't really fit well as a collective. This album, on the other hand, feels like all the songs mesh well together. There are no real moments of "why is this song here" throughout the entire mini-album. So that is a major plus for me as I generally like to listen to an album in its entirety, not skip around to the one or two songs that I like.
Secondly, this is my disclaimer. I am not apart of Miss A's fanclub – Say A. I wouldn't even call myself a fan of them in any sense of the word, but at the same time I am not adverse to them. I feel my exposure to Miss A is so limited I haven't got much to judge them against themselves really. However, as an avid KPOP fan, I have plenty of other girl groups to compare them to. Forewarning has now been given.
So… Touch is their title song and the monomer for their entire mini-album. While the song is not bad to me, it just isn't what I would consider title song material. There are much better songs on this album, ie. my fave – Lips. Maybe if the remix, for which I think the piano and snare drum suit it better, was the title track I wouldn't be so perplexed.
The bright moments in this album are definitely the club appeal of all the tracks. I can see all of them, including the lacking title track Touch, being played and danced to. The electronic beats and effects are great without sounding overproduced.
The sad part of this album for me is that everything is a slightly different version of the same thing. Yes, they change it up and even I wouldn't say they sound the same. However, they are in and of the same thing. They are an upbeat dance electronic sounding song. It's kind of a lather, rinse, and repeat – only with different shampoos.Overall, it's a good album, not a great one. I am also worried about Miss A's timing with this album. As one who does know the upcoming scheduled comebacks, I am not sure how this album will stack up or chart against some of the heavy hitters in the upcoming weeks. We will all have to watch and see.

You Probably Need a Will, So Here's How to Have That Potentially Awkward Conversation with Your Family
Remember, if you die without a will, the state will determine who inherits
For the past few months, I've been taking my kid regularly to the Jewish version of church, which we call shul or synagogue. We've actually been every Saturday morning for the past eight weeks, in an effort to get her into one of the local Jewish schools.
I won't bore you with the ins and outs of the laborious school entry procedure, but in simple terms, we have to have had a record of our religious practice (officially called Proof of Religious Practice) so she can attend the same Jewish school I went to as a kid.
Our first week of attending the kid's toddler service at shul arrived. We dressed in our finest and I had to explain to my girl where we were going. It went a little something like this.
"Today we are going to talk to God."
"Who's God?"
I looked at my husband who shrugged, all "I'll come back to you on that one." And I had no idea whatsoever how to answer her.
This is how I see God in my head. I'm screwed.
Since becoming a parent, there are things I've struggled with. For instance when my child started furiously humping her hand at any given opportunity. I didn't want her to feel this was wrong, but doing it on the floor of the living room at her nana and papa's house, well, there's a time and place.
After Googling how to deal with this (one stoopido suggestion: 'Take the kid to a pediatrician -- they are sick!!!') I came up with "private time" and have since explained that this occurs in bed. Alone.
So, she threw me a curve ball and I do believe I hit it out of the park. I have no idea what that means as it's a sporting reference, but I think I dealt with the situation well.
But trying to explain God to a three year old -- where the hell was I meant to begin? Especially when I'm not entirely sure what I believe in to start with.

Sailor Moon Gumboots
As you guys saw last week, I did a really quick customisation of a pair of gumboots for our trip to the Peony Farm. If you're going to wear gumboots, might as well go all out right?
I wanted to just buy some cute floral ones I had seen at Rivers ages ago but I left it too late and the only cute version I could find were hot pink from the kid's section at Big W. Easily fixed though!
For this I used:
The design is a really half-arsed version of Rini/Chibi Usa's boots from Sailor Moon. I can't see hot pink boots and not think of that!
I chose to use elastic as the white section at the top because then I didn't have to deal with cutting stuff on curves. Lazy for the win!
So to get the shape of the front, I placed the ends of the elastic at right angles to each other and then folded the edge over and glued it in place.
I glued it on the front to hold in place so I could work out the curve part. To make the fake curve more obvious I glued it as close to the edge as possible.
Once the front was dry it was just a matter of pulling the elastic tightly towards the back so it curved naturally. Fake curve hurrah!
I then snipped off the extra elastic and folded the edge over. To make it a little more sturdy and a little less… ugly, I added some ribbon around the edge on the inside to cover it all up.
Then it just needed some finishing touches: a gold crescent moon! I didn't have anything gold big enough so I glued two pieces of ribbon together and cut a moon shape out.
Glued them on the front and it was done. The whole thing took about 15 minutes.
They might not be the most lady-like shoes ever but they were awesome for avoiding

1999, the year of rabbit, the year of Matrix was also the year when someone started blogging. India is the world's largest, oldest, continuous civilization but many Indians think about India in a framework given by the West. He wanted to change this perception in his own way and started a blog called 'The Rediscovery of India'. We are pleased to welcome Sandeep at your Adda, where for the first time you are going to see the face behind the name. Are you ready? Read on.
Q: When and why did you start blogging?
A: Sometime in late 1999. I was on a free service called weblogs.com. It's hard to answer the "why" part of your question without sounding cliched but let me try. Honestly, blogging was a new thing back then and I thought I'd give it a try.
Q: What topics do you generally blog about?
A: Most topics releated to India including ancient Indian history, Contemporary Politics, a bit of Hindu philosophy, Art, and Culture.
Q: Do you ever get stuck when writing an entry? What do you do then?
A: Do you mean if I get stuck in the middle of writing a blog entry or are you talking about what's called the writer's block? I'll assume it's the former. Once I've begun writing a post, I rarely get stuck. My approach is to write everything in one go and revisit it multiple times to fine tune it until I'm satisfied. If I do get stuck, I simply stare at the screen or close my eyes or drink water or do other stuff to distract me. When I return, I usually find that my groove has returned, so to say.
Q: The Rediscovery of India is your blog's title. A very interesting name. 🙂 Why did you opt for this name? What was the purpose behind 'rediscovering India'?
A: The answer to this question is in this post. In a line, I've named it so because majority of urban Indians think about India in a framework given by the West, which is erroneous to say the least. I've explained this in detail in the article that I've above.
Q: Tell us something more about you and your profession. Is your education background related to journalism/media?
A: I have a background in Accounting and now work as a technology profession. And no, I haven't gone to any media/journalism school.
Q: The list of the Most Loathsome People of India in 2007 and again in 2010, was a very nice compilation. Who makes it to the list of 2011?
A: Thank you. It's not my original idea. I acknowledge my gratitude to Buffalo Beast who compile a similar list year after year. Here's their list for 2010. Who makes it to the list in 2011 is something you have to wait until November-December. 🙂
Q: When and how did your interest in News & Media develop? What is the future of Indian media, according to you? What things would you suggest to Indian media, so that they can gain more trust and credibility of their viewers and readers?
A: Around the 2001-2002 timeframe. I honestly can't predict the future of the entire Indian media but in the foreseeable future, it's going to take repeated beatings in terms of trust and credibility. To be really blunt, the Indian media behaviour doesn't hold itself to the standards that it expects others to adhere to, and behaves arrogantly even when genuine questions are posed to it. It is way too partisan towards one particular political party and over the last 5 or so years, it has displayed this partisanship pretty blatantly. It's been late in catching up with technology and in large pockets of the media, a jaded mindset continues to prevail. Like the saying goes, it takes only one act to lose trust and credibility forever. No matter what amends it makes, readers will always have that pinprick of mistrust based on past experience. I'm sorry if I sound deeply cynical but my cynicism is well-grounded. 🙂
The way the media can regain trust and credibility, is to firmly adhere to the dictum of 'honesty is the best editorial policy'. Instead of not publishing dissenting views on its pages, it needs to provide space for every view whether it conforms to the edit policy or no. Instead of out-shouting and sending legal notices to people who disagree and criticize it, it must take a balanced, reasoned and open-minded approach to criticism. Lastly, it must stop taking its readers' intelligence for granted. Talking WITH the reader, not talking down TO the reader is a healthy approach.
Q: Which media houses, in print and electronic, do you follow, that deliver apt news? Who are your favorite news & media writers/journalists and why?
A: If it's the English media you're talking about, I trust the Daily Pioneer. The print version isn't available where I live so I depend on the electronic format. Recently, I've come to trust DNA, and FirstPost. I don't have favourites but in no particular order, I enjoy reading Christopher Hitchens, John Dolan, Matt Taibbi, Kanchan Gupta, Swapan Dasgupta, Arun Shourie (when he writes, which is sparse of late), M J Akbar, Rajeev Srinivasan, Claude Arpi, Francois Gautier, Sandhya Jain, and to an extent, R Jagannathan. There's no one reason why I like these writers. Some I like because of their analysis, others for the sheer pleasure of reading finely-crafted prose, and still others for how they follow up and present a story.
Q: You listed the things to hate about The Nehruvian India, in one of your posts. What are the things one can love about this country? Which are the political/media characters you love to comment on and why?
A: There are plenty of things to love about this country and I can't obviously list them all in this space. The foremost thing that one can and I dare say, one must love about India is its cultural unity, which is unparalleled anywhere in the world. From this cultural unity flows everything else. It is this cultural unity that prompted the first stirrings for the freedom struggle. It is what prompted a freedom fighter to tell a British official that he was not afraid to die because he had read the Bhagavad Gita. As for political and media characters that I love to comment on, the list is far too long. You can read a few of my posts to get a general idea. 🙂
Q: India has entered its 64th year of Independence. What are the noteworthy things that are etched in your memory about India after its independence?
A: It depends on whether you mean "noteworthy" in the positive or negative sense because there are few positive things that have happened since 1947. Among the good things, we've had the green revolution (which has sadly been undone), the milk revolution, the nuclear tests, a reasonably good defence force, the economic liberalization, and the rise of an alternative political formation to the Congress party.
Q: My incessant hollering have begun to sound pointless to me. I even contemplate shutting this blog down – This was penned by you in one of your posts of 2007. You also stated the reasons on why you feel so. In the retrospective, do you think things have improved now? Do you still harbour such thoughts?
A: Ha ha ha. Yes. Sometimes. I believe that no lasting change can come overnight and I don't believe that a revolution can dramatically alter things for the better. It could simply be a case of substituting one tyrant for the other. Improvement takes time and may take a few generations to fully bear fruit. But yes, there are times when I have these thoughts.
Q: Reservations and Anna Hazare are among the topics that are hogging the headlines now. Both the issues have two sides to it, and most people often miss to know the other side of the story. What is your stance on these subjects?
A: Reservations is a subject that needs to be dealt at in detail and not in the space of an interview like this. But in general, a claim to any sort of privilege owing out of victimhood should not become a right. Which is what reservations have become over the past 60+ years. As for Anna Hazare, here's a post explaining my perspective. I believe Anna himself is a good man but he's being used by people who want to further their self interests. His movement is ill-advised because an extra-constitutional body to 'oversee' and/or 'check' corruption doesn't bode well for a democracy.
Q: There are very few scenarios where one can see the youth of India joining politics. What are the reasons for which they are not willing to enter it? How do you think their mindsets can change? What changes in reforms can we expect, if they do take things in their hands?
A: Youth don't enter politics? What about the thousands of low-level 'dynamic party workers' who display huge cutouts at traffic junctions, etc? 🙂 Kidding. Seriously, this is like a chicken and egg question. Good people don't want to enter politics because it's dirty and it continues to remain dirty because good people don't enter it. But somebody has to get their hands dirty and clean the mess, right? The reason is simple: perpetuation of dynastic rule, which pushed people who didn't agree with the dynasty, out of the party. Somebody had to fill that vacuum. That's how the descent into disorder and corruption began. It takes slow but sustained determination to change mindsets. And it's happening. Young enterpreneurs, professionals, writers, doctors-people from diverse fields are increasingly getting into active politics so not all is lost yet. However, that in itself won't change things magically. But, nothing substitutes character. No matter what your background or achievements are, reforms and cleanliness in public life comes when you lead by example. Laws and reforms don't ensure freedom from or reduction in corruption.
Q: In your blog you write your honest opinions against the extracts of some articles. Also, these posts are very detailed ones. How do you manage your time to write such detailed blog posts? Has any of your post invited any controversy?
A: Yeah, my posts are lengthy because I believe in presenting a comprehensive view of things, to cover all possible angles. That increases the word count. 😉 I minimize the tasks that I take on at work. The actual writing takes less than 2 hours: 3 hours at the most. The rest is spent on research, which takes a few days or a week depending on what I'm writing about. Yeah, pretty much every post of mine invites controversy primarily because of the strong language I use, which I understand puts off people.
Q: Apart from Indian politics and media persons, what else does interest you? Political leaders and other controversies might invariably vex you, but who are the people in your life who bring a smile to your face, when you are not blogging? 🙂
A: Lots of things interest me. See my response to your next question. Family and friends bring a smile to my face and generally help me maintain sanity and balance.
Q: What does Sandeep do to spend his leisure time? If you were to write a book, what would be its plot?
A: I listen to classical music and read and do a bit of photography in my leisure. My imaginary book will be titled "Pappu can't become Prime Minister."
Q: Do you promote your blog? What promotional techniques work best for you and why?
A: I don't believe in promoting my blog simply because I write for myself. I pay for the hosting and domain out of my own pocket. To me, my blog is an education of sorts. Very briefly, I put up Amazon affiliate thing and pulled it down because it didn't suit my temperament.
Q: How important is it for the blogger to interact with their readers? Do you respond to all the comments that you receive?
A: I think it's pretty important to interact with readers because that's how you expand your learning. That said, I've stopped responding to each and every comment I receive unless they're directly addressed to me for several reasons but the biggest reason is because I simply don't have time as I'm engaged in several other activities over the past 2 years. Most of my entries receive at least 50-60 comments at the minimum. 🙁
Q: What do you find to be the most gratifying aspect of blogging?
A: The enormous amount of unconditional goodwill that I've been shown by absolute strangers whom I've never met and/or will ever meet. Nothing beats this feeling, not even the fact that blogging has helped me learn quite a bit.
Q: How, in general, would you rate the quality of Indian blogs? Share your favourite five blogs.
A: Honest answer: banal. Most Indian blogs are in the nature of personal anecdotes/personal history (I woke up at 8 and found that I was running late to work, I can't decide what to wear, etc). My five favourite blogs? Hmmm… In no particular order, here goes:
Q: What is your advice to someone who wants to start a blog?
A: Don't start a blog for its own sake. Start if you can sustain it. Be honest. Do your research. Admit your mistakes.
Q: Do you earn revenue through your blog? How does one go about it?
A: I believe I've answered this question earlier.
Q: According to you, what is the future of Blogging?
A: I really don't know. Never thought about it. 🙂
Q: Let's conclude off with a few favorites:
Color: Blue
Movie: None in particular.
TV Show: I don't watch TV.
Book: Several. Almost all of S L Bhyrappa's books. Ramayana and Mahabharata. Shakespeare's tragedies. Anna Karenina, Crime and Punishment, Lord of the Flies, and In Cold Blood are just a few that I can think of now.
Time of Day: Night and early morning.
Your Zodiac Sign: Taurus.

Gambling is a thing totally associated with luck. You cannot plan to win a gambling game. The only thing you can do is to devise out a strategy which can only improve your chances of winning the Pokies. The players at first need to learn the rules of the game so that they don't have any excuse of not knowing the rules of the game when they lose while playing online pokie games. Therefore, the gamblers should have some strategies which will increase their chances of winning the game. However, we need to keep in mind that a lot of Aussie players do want to play pokies online using Paypal.
What is a Strategy?
A strategy is basically a set of actions which players take in advance in order to help them in the game they are planning to play. As an example, a good strategy for playing the BlackJack is to memorize all the chart of the game and then the gambler can test himself with a fundamental strategy tutor. The second part of the BlackJack strategy game can be to learn how to count cards by consulting a book, using a methodology, and practicing at your home until you are able to count the entire deck of cards in a minute or less. The next part of the strategy here would be to set up a bankroll in order to play the game smoothly and also assuring that you don't run out of money to fulfill your basic necessities.

You might not remember what happened in the first one, or even remember that there was a first one, but the Rio team is back with a sequel, whether you want it or not.
Jesse Eisenberg has returned to provide the voice of Blu – one of the last blue macaws on the planet. Picking up where the last movie left off, we find Blu living in Rio, married to his beloved Jewel (Anne Hathaway), and raising 3 kids. However, they might not be the last of their kind after all.
Blu's former owner, Linda (Leslie Mann), has joined forces with the oddly sexy scientist Tulio (Rodrigo Santoro), to bring a rare bird back to The Amazon, when they think they see a blue macaw flying in the jungle. Jewel sees the ensuing report on TV, and convinces Blu the family should head to The Amazon and reunite with the rest of the flock because they aren't being the birds they should be. They need to get back to their roots and stop living more like humans than macaws!
Who are these other macaws in The Amazon?
What danger do they face?
Rio 2 is another movie that is good enough. It is overloaded with many subplots, but very little depth. Director Carlos Saldanha is left to race from one subplot to the next without much time to pause for reflection or something more meaningful. Kids might not notice, but adults might get a bit tired of trying to keep track of so many characters and twists when they really don't matter at all.
Yet, Rio 2 is funny with lots of silliness for the kids, if they don't pick up on the darker side of Rio 2. We have the return of the evil Nigel (Jemaine Clement), who wants to murder Blu. Snakes and other animals are looking to make some of the characters into dinner. Evil loggers are putting Tulio and Linda in grave danger, and one character even attempts to commit suicide. Believe it or not, it's all played for laughs, but I felt a bit uncomfortable. How did this get a G rating?
However, the fun outweighs the dark. Kristin Chenoweth is awesome as the poisonous frog, Gabi, with a crush on Nigel that is revealed in an amazing musical sequence that is everything you love about singing, dancing and overblown Broadway productions, while we get plenty of giggles as Blu proves to be the bird who doesn't fit in because he is too soft after living in the city his entire life, and clearly not rough enough to survive in the wild. Adults even get a few laughs as Blu tries to deal with Jewel's old life in the wild (the life she had before marrying him), and the romance she once shared with a macaw wonderfully played by Bruno Mars. No man wants to try to compete with Bruno Mars for a lady's affection.
We all need some goofiness, so you might as well check out Rio 2.

DNA Testing for Dogs and Happy Healthy Pet Adoptions
Human DNA testing has a wide range of applications. It can be used to solve crimes, detect disease and resolve paternity issues. Pet DNA testing can be just as useful and animal lovers are finding out that it can fill in the missing blanks about a pet's background and history. The technology is particularly valuable in pet adoptions where owners have little or no knowledge about their new acquisitions.
- slide 2 of 3
Pet DNA testing
Pet DNA testing can be used to -
- Determine an animal's breed and pedigree. Most people don't know the breed or genetic background of their pets, and it's been estimated that up to half of America's pet dogs come from mixed breeds. DNA testing can find out the breed composition of your pet pooch. A dog DNA test could be vital for a canine that has different breeds in its background. Once a vet knows its full history, medicine can be tailored to it should the animal become ill.
- Provide accurate information about an animal if you decide to adopt a pet from an animal shelter.
- Help find your pet if it is lost or stolen. Some private companies are offering DNA storage facilities, where for a fee, your animal's DNA profile can be kept.
- Screen for inherited diseases. Dogs for example suffer from the highest number of genetic disorders of any non-human species.
- Determine the sex of a pet bird.
- To help solve crime. Just as human forensic samples are used by investigators to find a suspect, so can animal DNA be used in the hunt. For example, in one case that hit the headlines around the world, a woman was unable to identify the man who had attacked her, but told police that her dog had urinated on his truck. Eventually, when police located the suspect they found that a DNA sample on one of his tyres was a perfect match for the dog's DNA. It helped to secure his conviction. Animal forensics is now a rapidly growing scientific discipline.
- slide 3 of 3
How is a DNA Test Conducted?
If you have adopted a pet and are concerned that you may be inflicting something dangerous upon the animal, there is actually no cause for alarm or anxiety. DNA tests are easy to perform and painless. Companies offering DNA testing services send out DNA testing kits with easy to follow instructions and guidelines as well as the relevant equipment.
Collecting DNA typically involves taking a swab brush and rubbing it against the inside of your pet's cheek. This is then placed into a sample envelope and sent back in the mail to the company. They will have it analysed in a laboratory and the results should be ready within a few weeks. Depending on the animal, fur, feather, blood or hair samples may also be asked for.

Young has 20 months left of the four-year contract he signed in 2008 and has shelved talks on any possible extension until the end of the current campaign.
That would leave him with only 12 months to run and he could leave for nothing in 2012 if he opts not to sign on the dotted line.
But Houllier does not want to sell Young and revealed running down the contract is a possibility should no new deal be tied up with the England winger.
Houllier said: "The club is protected until 2012. He is not at the end of his contract this season.
"If he is four years on his contract, and he wants to leave next year, then it's the same.
"To me, the main thing is we have shown that we want to keep him, we like the boy, I think he likes the place where he is.
"He probably knows that he will improve so it is just a matter of time whether he signs now or the end of the season.
"Obviously at the end of the season something is going to have to come out."
Houllier added: "It is not a matter of selling Ashley. We don't want to sell him, we want to keep him.
"Maybe we will keep him until the end of his contract. Is that a possibility? Yes."
Houllier was also asked whether he thought Young, who has been closely linked with a move to Tottenham may have been tapped up.
There have also been reports the former Watford player wants a get-out clause in any possible new deal.
Houllier said: "Could Young have been tapped up? "You never know in football.
"I've read that Tottenham are after him and that he is after a clause. He has no clause anyway."
Houllier believes the most important factor for Young at this juncture is to continue to improve his game.
He has impressed in the new 'hole' role given him by Houllier and earned his first competitive start for England in last week's Euro 2012 qualifier with Montenegro at Wembley.
Houllier said: "I think it is true when Ashley said he wants to concentrate on his football.
"I spoke to him and said 'the main target for you is to improve, to step up a level.
"To do that you can't lose two months or three months talking. He said 'okay, at the end of the season we will sit and talk.'
"That is fine, I am happy with that."

USF turns in top women's pole vault mark
TAMPA --- University of South Florida track and field athlete Denise von Enyatten had the top women's pole vault mark of the weekend, according to a United States Track and Field and Cross Country Coaches Association (USTFCCCA) release on Monday.
Von Enyatten, a German graduate student at USF, took home first place while setting a new personal-best leap of 14-1.75 at the 2011 BIG EAST Indoor Championships this past weekend. With the mark, she set a new BIG EAST meet record replacing the previous record of 13-9.25, set back in 2009 by Notre Dame's Mary Saxer.
The new height also automatically qualified her for the NCAA Indoor Championships in College Station, TX on March 11-13. She currently sits at sixth place on the NCAA indoor performance list, according to TFFRS.org.
Von Enyatten is ranked first on USF's indoor and outdoor all-time lists in the pole vault after competing for the Bulls during the 2008 season. Her previous indoor best came at the Jayhawk Invitational (Jan. 28) when she earned a then-school record 14-0 mark. Her best outdoor mark as a Bull came in 2008 when she vaulted a 13-5.25.

The backlog of summary ratings has dropped by nearly 80% since it peaked at over 22,000 ratings last November, and is expected to disappear by the end of this calendar year. In just the last month, the backlog dropped over 45%, from over 9,000 to less than 5,000.
The Division of Workers' Compensation deployed a number of strategies to eliminate this troublesome backlog over the past year. This includes adding both clerical and professional staff, changing procedures, periodically focusing raters exclusively on summary ratings for week-long periods, transferring work from backlogged to less busy offices, and encouraging the community to submit settlements with their own ratings rather than wait for a backlogged summary rating.
One year ago, eleven offices had backlogs of over 1,000 summary ratings, including one -- San Diego -- with more than 3,600 cases pending. Now, only two offices have over 500 cases pending.
"Under the leadership of Manager Blair Megowan, the entire staff of the Disability Evaluation Unit has done a remarkable job of successfully attacking what seemed to be an insurmountable problem just a few months ago," said Casey L. Young, DWC's Administrative Director. "The backlog of summary ratings had become a huge problem for the entire workers' compensation community. I am pleased that we are now almost out of the woods. By the end of the year, we should be able to provide summary ratings within or close to the 20-day statutory time period in all parts of the state."
"The Information and Assistance and Claims Adjudication staff also deserve some of the credit," Young added. "To the extent the community submitted settlements without DEU ratings, our I&A Officers and Judges have dealt with the cases, asking for rating assistance in only the more complex cases. In many areas, special teams reviewed settlements or conducted conferences so that the parties walked out with not only a rating, but also a settlement of their case."
"I am very proud of the manner in which the Division of Workers' Compensation has pulled together to deal with this problem," Young concluded.

Italian cycling champion Gino Bartali was recognised as "Righteous Among the Nations" by the Israeli museum of Yad Vashem, which has formally added him onto the honour list of the gentiles who helped Jews escape the Holocaust, media reported Monday.
Yad Vashem wrote on its website that the three-time Giro d' Italia champion and two-time Tour de France winner, who died aged 85 in 2000, "came to play an important role in the rescue of Jews" during World War II, Xinhua reported citing media reports.
Tuscany-born Bartali acted as a courier for a Jewish-Christian network set up following the 1943 German occupation in Italy, transporting forged documents hidden in the frame of his bicycle, though he knew that he was risking his life.
This network saved the lives of hundreds of Jews, the Holocaust memorial said adding that Bartali never spoke of his underground work after the war and hence many of his courageous endeavours remained unknown.
Bartali will be honoured in a ceremony in Italy which has yet to be scheduled. His son Andrea said that he and his mother have been invited by the Israeli government for a cycling event named after the champion next month.

|Seman and blood in water
Sep 29, 2011
Seman and blood in the bukket with water .i used this water for bath.what are the transmission risk of hiv?how long hiv virus survive in water?
Response from Dr. McGowan
Is this water that is shared with others who may have left blood or semen in it? Would be best to use freash water if available.
There would be no risk of transmitting HIV if you are washing your body and you have no open wounds, the skin is a great barrier against HIV.
Also the virus cannot last long in freash (non-salted) water. The cells disrupt due to the osmotic pressure (cells have to keep their salt and water balanced or they burst).
Would not worry.

In 1630's England, a fanatical religious family is banished from their home in London due to a difference in beliefs from their peers. William (Ralph Ineson) and Katherine (Kate Dickie) and their children Thomasin (Anya Taylor-Joy), Caleb (Harvey Scrimshaw), and twins Jonas and Mercy (Lucas Dawson and Ellie Grainger) find themselves starting a new life on an isolated farm land. After watching the first ten minutes of this film, one wonders if a story like this could make an effective horror film, but surprisingly, it exceeded expectations.
After a few months, Katherine gives birth to a fifth child, Samuel. A moment after Thomas steals him away for a little playtime, Samuel disappears. The sudden disappearance is blamed on being taken away by a wolf, but Katherine's ongoing depression leads to an intense distrust of her oldest daughter.
The entire family is in such turmoil, they accuse one another of making a covenant with the devil. They continue to be driven insane with misfortune after misfortune which causes the family turn on each other and have their once resilient faith tested.
From the opening sequence to the final shot, The Witch's visuals cast a somber tone that keeps the mood level dim throughout the film. Cinematographer Jarin Blaschke's shots are minimal, profound and complete with an overcast that varies from gray to black. These shot choices help the atmosphere remain grim in order to fully capture the family's miserable circumstances. The farm land is surrounded by a large forest that the family has to enter frequently in order hunt for food. The forest is so creepy in fact, the first thought is all the jump scares will happen here. Refreshingly, there are none. The evil images are gruesome, but not overly shown.
As the horror unfolds, it is hard to decipher if the evil is occurring because of an outside force, or is it taking place because of the family's faith being aggressively tested? Are they being attacked because their belief in God is wavering and starting to lose hope in humanity or are they simply just random targets of the witch?
Writer and director Robert Eggers creates a horror environment that is so much more than just arbitrary torture. The characters are not just props that showcase how much power the evil has, it almost as if the characters' actions play a part in the horrible events they endure. It gives the audience so much more to think about than how scary this film will be.
The imagery is disturbing, the acting is exceptional, (especially from Anya Taylor- Joy and Ralph Ineson), and the film's message is so effective it stays with you long after the movie is over. Watching the characters go through this hellish journey is legitimately scary, and not just because of the demons, but also because the film implies that experiencing the loss of trust between the people who you hold in the highest regard may offer a fate that is just as traumatizing as hell.

Joaquin Phoenix is reportedly in final talks to play Doctor Strange in a new Marvel film.
The Academy Award-nominated actor is rumoured to be the top choice for the superhero role in the latest Marvel blockbuster, despite reports that he had been overlooked in favour of Jack Huston.
According to Collider.com, a deal between Joaquin and Marvel for Doctor Strange is "currently being finalised" after several months of negotiations.
Doctor Strange is scheduled to hit cinemas on July 8, 2016 - after Marvel announced that Deliver Us From Evil director Scott Derrickson was on-board to direct the superhero flick.
The studio will be busy over the next couple of years, with Ant-Man starring Paul Rudd due to be released in July 2015, which will be followed by the Captain America 3 with Chris Evans in May 2016.

Don't Let These Mistakes Doom Your eCommerce Site
March 24th, 2015 by IX Web
Online shopping isn't just the domain of eCommerce giants like Amazon and eBay. According to a study conducted by UPS, 70 percent of shoppers prefer to visit their favorite retailer online. With that in mind, no online store—regardless of its size—can afford to ignore eCommerce marketing.
That said, far too many small businesses commit mistakes that could potentially doom their eCommerce sites long-term. Fortunately, we've not only identified the four most common missteps made by online business owners, but also ways to avoid them.

Contrary to Industry Predictions, Reactor Disaster Seen As Having a "Lasting Chill" on Perceptions; It's Not All Fukushima: 3 in 5 Americans Less Supportive Due to Woes of U.S. Nuclear Industry in Last Year.
WASHINGTON, D.C.///March 7, 2012///One year after the disaster at the Fukushima nuclear reactors in Japan, Americans continue to want to keep the brakes on more nuclear power in the United States, according to a major new ORC International survey conducted for the nonprofit and nonpartisan Civil Society Institute (CSI).
To gauge any shift in public attitudes, the new survey was benchmarked to an earlier poll carried out by ORC International in March 2011 for CSI. Conducted February 23-26 2012, the new survey of 1,032 Americans shows that:
Pam Solo, founder and president, Civil Society Institute, said: "It is clear that Fukushima left an indelible impression on the thinking of Americans about nuclear power. The U.S. public clearly favors a conservative approach to energy that insists on it being safe in all senses of the word - including the risk to local communities and citizens. These poll findings support the need for a renewed national debate about the energy choices that America makes."
Peter Bradford, former member of the United States Nuclear Regulatory Commission, former chair of the New York and Maine utility regulatory commissions, and currently adjunct professor at Vermont Law School on "Nuclear Power and Public Policy, said: "This survey is another piece of bad news for new nuclear construction in the U.S. For an industry completely dependent on political support in order to gain access to the taxpayers' wallets (through loan guarantees and other federal subsidies) and the consumers' wallets (through rate guarantees to cover even canceled plants and cost overruns), public skepticism of this magnitude is a near fatal flaw. The nuclear industry has spent millions on polls telling the public how much the public longs for nuclear power. Such polls never ask real world questions linking new reactors to rate increases or to accident risk. Fukushima has made the links to risk much clearer in the public mind. This poll makes the consequences of that linkage clear."
Pollster Graham Hueber, senior researcher, ORC International, said: "I would summarize these findings as follows: We see here a lasting chill in how the public perceives nuclear power. The passage of one year since the Fukushima nuclear reactor crisis in Japan has neither dimmed concerns in the U.S. about nuclear power nor has it made Americans more inclined to support an expanded federal focus on promoting more nuclear reactors in the U.S."
Robert Alvarez, senior scholar, Institute for Policy Studies, where he is currently focused on nuclear disarmament and environmental and energy policies, and former senior policy advisor, U.S. Secretary of Energy, where he coordinated the effort to enact nuclear worker compensation legislation, said: "Nuclear power remains expensive, dangerous, and too radioactive for Wall Street. This survey shows why the industry has no future unless the U.S. government props it up and forces the public to bear the risks."
For the full survey findings, go to http://www.CivilSocietyInstitute.org on the Web.
These findings are based on a telephone survey conducted by ORC International among a national probability sample of 1,032 adults comprising 518 men and 514 women 18 years of age and older, living in private households in the continental United States. Interviewing for this survey was completed during the period February 23-26, 2012. The margin of error is plus or minus three percentage at the full sample size.
Based in Newton, MA., the nonprofit and nonpartisan Civil Society Institute (http://www.CivilSocietyInstitute.org) is a think tank that serves as a catalyst for change by creating problem-solving interactions among people, and between communities, government and business that can help to improve society. Since 2003, CSI has conducted more than 25 major national and state-level surveys and reports on energy and auto issues, including vehicle fuel-efficiency standards, consumer demand for hybrids/other highly-fuel efficient vehicles, global warming and renewable energy. In addition to being a co-convener of TheCLEAN.org (http://www.TheClean.org), the Civil Society Institute also is the parent organization of the Hybrid Owners of America (http://www.HybridOwnersofAmerica.org).

EDITOR'S NOTE: A streaming audio replay of this news event will be available on the Web at www.civilsocietyinstitute.org as of 3 p.m. EST/2000 GMT on March 7, 2012.

I will be going back at some point soon, and I wouldn't even think of not calling Gianluca to help me plan my trip. I want to stress how great the communication was with the wedding planning, I am in Boston, and with the time change we were still able to plan the perfect wedding and vacation for my wife and I, and our friends and family.

Digital plan goes global at NBC Uni
EmptyNBC Universal is realigning its digital operations abroad to reflect a greater priority on digital strategy and position the company for further growth in the burgeoning area.
The latest example of the company's exploits in this arena: The second season of "Heroes" is being made available on the Web to TF1 viewers in France within 24 hours of U.S. broadcast via a VOD streaming or download-to-rent format, all with French subtitles. The Gallic broadcaster and NBC Uni will share in the revenue from the effort.
The revamp was unveiled Tuesday by Universal vice chairman Rick Finkelstein and NBC Universal International president Peter Smith and is part of NBC Uni's ongoing mandate to drive growth across its international businesses.
The reorganization will be structured in two parallel strands: new-media licensing and digital assets.
New-media licensing will be led by Beth Minehart, based in Los Angeles, who has been promoted to executive vp international new media in the NBC Universal International Television Distribution unit. Instrumental in the "Heroes" VOD experiment in France, she will add international electronic sell-through to her responsibilities and lead a regionally focused sales organization responsible for licensing efforts encompassing EST, VOD and SVOD across platforms.
Minehart will report to NBC Universal International Television Distribution president Belinda Menendez on VOD and to Craig Kornblau, president of Universal Pictures Digital Platforms and Universal Studios Home Entertainment, on electronic sell-through.
The digital assets team will be headed by Kevin Obi, based in London, who recently was appointed senior vp digital assets at NBC Uni. He will lead the strategy and development of NBC Uni's branded digital assets in the international market, reporting to Roma Khanna, who recently was tapped as president of NBC Universal Global Networks and Digital Initiatives. This strategy includes the creation and expansion of broadband and wireless assets.
Obi has a dotted reporting line to NBC Uni chief digital officer George Kliavkoff.
"These new divisions address the growth in the digital marketplace," Finkelstein said. "We've simplified our operational structure, resulting in two clear divisions, one for new-media licensing and one for branded assets. We hope this makes it easier for our customers and potential partners to conduct business with us."
Minehart most recently was senior vp international on-demand licensing at the company's international TV arm. She has held executive positions within several divisions since first joining Universal Studios in 1997. Before Universal, Minehart was with Fox.
Obi's previous roles include strategic and business development activities for telecoms and new-media organizations in the U.K., including Orange U.K.
