In 2016, pro-nuclear advocates won our first victories against the anti-nuclear Goliath, saving nuclear plants from closure in Switzerland, Illinois, New York and Sweden.
But the anti-nuclear establishment quickly struck back with a series of victories resulting in announced nuclear plant closures and cancellations in New York and Taiwan, adding to the heavy losses pro-nuclear advocates have sustained in California, Germany and Japan.
Now, in the wake of a financial crisis resulting from construction delays and cost overruns at two U.S. nuclear plants, the American nuclear giant Westinghouse has announced it might go bankrupt.
And South Korea, one of the great hopes for a global nuclear renaissance, appears poised to elect as president a man who is campaigning to shutter all of that nation's nuclear power plants.
After I described just how desperate the situation facing nuclear is, a friend last week replied, "Knowledge is the antidote to fear."
He told me a story about the operator of Fukushima Daiini — a nuclear plant down the road from Fukushima Daiichi, where three reactors melted down.
Daiini faced similar problems as Daiichi, but its operator responded differently. "He gathered everyone together and started putting information up on a white board," my friend said.
"They got clear about what was going on. They kept the information flowing," my friend explained. "And that allowed them to save the plant."
The Antidote to Fear
Last year, EP and I were the first to note that the share of global electricity coming from clean energy had — against the hype — actually declined, in part due to the closure and cancellation of nuclear plants.
And in recent months, EP's quantitative analyses of the impact of closing nuclear plants on air pollution in California and Germany were picked up by news media from around the world.
Even so, if you listen to some within the industry and government, nuclear's doing okay. They note that there are more plants are under construction than at any time in the last two decades, and that there has been a proliferation of nuclear start-ups.
My colleagues and I wanted to get an accurate account of nuclear status based on a nation-by-nation, plant-by-plant assessment, and so over the last three months we researched and have now rated for the likelihood of opening and closing:
- Every operating nuclear plant in the world;
- Every nuclear plant being built;
- Every nuclear plant being proposed.
We conclude that if nothing changes, more nuclear plants are likely to close than open between now and 2030.
If our forecast is correct, it would be a continuation of nuclear's absolute decline since 2006, and an acceleration of its relative decline (as a share of total global electricity) since 1996.
When nuclear plants are cancelled or closed, they are replaced almost entirely with fossil fuels, and so this is bad news for clean air and the climate.
We are calling our ongoing assessment of progress being made toward meeting the goals of universal prosperity and environmental protection the "Energy Progress Tracker" (EPT).
This is not an academic exercise for us. EP is doing this because we want to prevent nuclear plants from closing and increase the number of plants opening.
As advocates for nuclear, EP could have a bias. Consciously or unconsciously, we might want to show that the situation is worse than it is, or better than it is, in order to raise fears or hopes, and money, or to motivate some other kind of action.
At the same time, we have an incentive to maintain our reputation for accurate, honest and cutting-edge analyses.
Whatever the case, in service of accuracy, honesty and transparency, we are publishing our national and plant-specific assessments, and inviting comments, particularly from those with local or national knowledge.
Going forward, EP will adjust our rankings in real-time according to real-world events and keep track of how our rankings changed over time, with accompanying explanations for why they changed.
For example, if presidential front-runner Moon Jae-in is defeated on May 9, we would likely change our assessment of South Korean nuclear.
No Nukes? No Climate
Over the last decade and a half I have been critical of those who claim the world will end imminently if we don't drastically downscale our lives to save the climate. That's bad religion and politics — authoritarian and demotivating.
Now, with my recent focus on nuclear power for ending poverty and mitigating climate change, a few friends have asked whether my views on climate have changed. Am I more worried about climate than I was before?
The short answer is yes. If nuclear plants were being scaled up globally at the rate France and Sweden did in the 1970s and 1980s, then I would probably be a "lukewarmer" — somebody who believes that humans are causing global warming, but that it probably won't get too hot, or be that bad.

ABC went and turned the Caveman characters from the Geico ads into a TV series. Hard to believe, I know…But saddly it's 100% true. I sat through the first episode, and my thoughts on this series isn't good. Would I say it's the worst TV show ever released? Well that would be kind of harsh considering TV stations have released some pretty stinking shows..Like The Chevy Chase Show, Cop Rock, That 80s Show, Barney & Friends and Teletubbies….However it is true..In my Opinion "Cavemen" is the WORST show on television, and that has ever BEEN on television.
I honestly wouldn't be surprised if there was no second episode aired, and if they DO air a second episode, it was only because they didn't realise what a tragic mistake they made. In which case a second episode might air, and then when they go over the ratings, read through their piles of mail and discover that people really think this show sucks big piles of donkey doo…THEN they will realise the mistake yank the third episode and replace it with repeats of "October Road"…Yea, that show sucks too, but in comparison, it was pure gold!
Nice try ABC, but please…WATCH the pilots of a show before adding them to your fall schedule…If you want to add garbage like this to your summer line-up…Go right ahead, nobody watches TV then…but fall? Use common sense people!!!

Information Center: Health, AIDS
Between 1969 and 1979, the health sector in Equatorial Guinea, like all other sectors, experienced Systematic degradation, disorganization and neglect. With donor support, the Government has since 1979 initiated efforts to revamp the health service activities. However, this attempt has so far proved insufficient to cori:ect the health system's fundamental weaknesses, and endemic tropical and parasitic diseases continue to be rampant, causing high morbidity and mortality. The Government is committedto improving the health indicators by strengthening health policy formulation and sector management, developing human resources, and increasing the capacity of the public health system to deliver basic health care services for the most vulnerable groups and the rural population. It has requested IDA assistance to help prepare a program.
The first cases of human immunodeficiency virus type 2 (HIV-2) infection in Spain were identified in 1988, in 3 African immigrants living in Barcelona. Since then, up to December 1998, 92 individuals with HIV-2 infection have been reported in Spain. Most are adult men, infected through heterosexual contacts, originating from West African countries, and currently living in the largest urban Spanish cities. Fifteen individuals have developed AIDS, meanwhile the rest remain asymptomatic. For 22 subjects, HIV-2 subtyping was performed on proviral DNA, 16 being infected with subtype A (8 Spanish born and 8 African immigrants) and the remaining with subtype B (two Spanish born and 4 originating from Equatorial Guinea). Coinfection with HIV-1 was demonstrated in 9 individuals. In conclusion, HIV-2 is currently circulating in Spain with a low prevalence and without evidence for increase over time.
Highlights a series of training sessions for women organized by UNICEF, the Spanish National Committee for UNICEF and the Red Cross in Equatorial Guinea. These sessions allow participants to express themselves freely on HIV/AIDS and upgrade their knowledge on prevention and treatment of the disease.
Study of resistance to anti-tuberculosis drugs in five districts of Equatorial Guinea: rates, risk factors, genotyping of gene mutations and molecular epidemiology
A study conducted in five districts in Equatorial Guinea, March 1999 to February 2001, to determine tuberculosis drug resistance among new and previously treated cases, the risk factors associated with resistance, and the mutations associated with isoniazid and rifampicin (katG, inhA and rpoB genes) resistance, and to genotype resistant strains.
A report that analyzes the status of HIV/AIDS in Equatorial Guinea, including government and UN efforts to combat the disease.

Celebrity stylist and fashion designer Rachel Zoe has a huge obsession with jewelry. Aside from tasseled rope necklaces, this fashionista also often chooses chunky gold chains as her go-to accessory. She wears and layers these bold (and very expensive) jewelry pieces like they're no big deal.
A couple of days ago, Zoe was spotted spending some quality time with her husband, Rodger Berman, and their two beautiful boys. Walking the streets of New York, Rachel donned a long black off-shoulder dress that she accessorized with glam gold chains. The shorter necklace with a bold pendant looks like a vintage piece by Givenchy, and the longer one is a vintage Chanel coin necklace.
Rachel Zoe with Rodger Berman and their two sons out in New York on September 12, 2014
This isn't the first time we've seen Rachel rocking gold chains. A couple of months ago, she attended a charity event wearing a strapless bohemian-inspired maxi dress punctuated with a chunky gold chain. How does this style maven keep her look glamorous with these bold jewelry pieces? She pairs it with sophisticated dresses and other glamorous accessories.
When paired with very casual outfits, these chunky accessories can look a little tacky and cheap. However, when they are incorporated in glamorous wear, they will look super expensive and will easily upgrade your dressy outfits.

Cycling is very much in the news at the moment with stages of the Tour de France road race taking place just over the border in Yorkshire on the 5th & 6th July 2014. No doubt many cycling enthusiasts from around Mansfield will be among the crowds of spectators to cheer on their favourite riders and teams. The days are still recalled when hundreds of cycling enthusiasts came to Forest Town Track on the Welfare Sports Ground to watch cycling favourites such as Reg Harris. Unlike the road race of the Tour De France there were no green, polka dot or yellow jersey's being ridden for, indeed the cyclists would have been less colourful than todays riders, however the enthusiasm of both riders and spectators would have been just the same.

It's another 'False Lama', the sound of a van pulling into the neighbours driveway. I'm expecting a package in the post so I'm listening for the mail van.
False Lamas are frustrating. They laugh in your face. Fooled you again we did!
My package will be here soon, I'm sure. I continue to wait.
What was that? A vehicle? Was that in our driveway? I hurry to look. Anticipation... but no. Just another false lama. The other neighbour's car.
False lama's playing tricks on me.

HMD sold more Nokia phones in Q4 2017 than Google, OnePlus AND HTC
HMD's Nokia experiment seems to be working. There's life in the old brand yet, following the news that Nokia is now bigger than HTC, OnePlus, Google, Lenovo, Asus and Sony in the mobile space.
HMD sold 4.4 million Nokia-branded phones in Q4 2017; that's a lot more than Google. And a big chunk more than more established brands like HTC, Sony, and OnePlus.
This figure gave Nokia – well, HMD – a 1% share of the market, meaning it is now just outside the top 10 for biggest handset makers. Not bad for a company that only started doing things just over a year ago.
Even better, this figure places Nokia in the number three spot for the UK for Q4, according to Neil Shah of Counterpoint, who tweeted the findings this week.
The secret to HMD's success? Two things: its feature phones, which are dirt cheap and run Android (in some instances); and, second, the Nokia brand – people obviously still love it.
Nokia's smartphones also did well, however, but it is this dual-strategy, releasing feature and premium handsets, that has allowed Nokia to reclaim its footing in the mobile space it helped create.
Shah says HMD needs to focus on emerging markets in 2018 in order to maintain its growth and further cement the Nokia brand as a force to be reckoned with in the mobile space. HMD is already killing it in the Middle East, Russia, the UK, and Vietnam. Now it needs to be looking at places like India, Brazil, and other parts of South America.
Not too shabby for a company that is literally brand new. Granted the Nokia brand is older than most people alive today, but it is still a very impressive result for the experiment. Even more so when you factor in just how badly other, classic brands like BlackBerry are doing.
Roll on MWC 2018, where we'll FINALLY see the Nokia 9 unveiled!
Hey, thank for your visiting to this post . I wish this post provide some useful informations about mobile technology for you.
Thanks…!!! 🙂

Even though the majority of the Carbine staff is out of office for the holidays… there was still a store update this morning.
We got the now customary "Hey, we updated with new shiny stuff" new post from Team WildStar here.
Today's update brought two new minipets, a new costume, a new mount, and some New Year's Eve themed Hoverboard flair!
Starting with what I think is the coolest bit of today's update… the mount Flair!
Buckets of Champagne, and Sparklers! Who doesn't need that to Celebrate a New Year coming to Nexus (or, you know.. Earth…or, I guess.. whatever planet you're currently living on).
The mount flair is single character claimable only.. but, It's priced correctly (IMO) for that at 120 NCoin/60 Omnibits.. I'll probably grab a couple of these.
Screenshot doesn't do it justice, but the Champagne flows out of the top of the bottle..very cool animation.
What better way to ring in the new year (besides shooting Champagne all over Nexus while hovering around?) than with… Fireworks!
Another single character useable item..but, again.. priced appropriately for that.. and at 80 NCoin/40 Omnibits.. picking up a few for your alts.. is not going to bankrupt you.
Explosions and Champagne not your cup of tea? Perhaps you'd prefer a nice new companion to start the year off with?
Beaksy might fit that need! One of two minipets added with today's update, Beaksy is available in both single character, and account wide variants.. 490 NCoin/245 Omnibits for single claim, 860 NCoin/430 Omnibits for account wide.
Looking for a new friend, that is maybe a little less feathery? Sniffles is the second pet added today, and the poor guy looks like he could use a warm housing plot to stay in:
See? The poor guy is covered in ice!
Looking for a new ride to start the new year out with? Got you covered there too… Another reskin of the Velocirex has been added with today's update too. Nice golden colored fella..
Available in either single character, or account wide options as well (790 NCoin/395 Omnibits for single character. 1380 NCoin/690 Omnibits for the account wide option), still feels a little expensive for a mount (though, the account wide option feels less pricey to me).. I think I'd rather see both prices dropped by about 100 NCoin. Still, as Velocirexs go.. this is a handsome looking fella.
Last, but certainly not least… a new costume set has been added to the store as well.. simply called "Veteran".. it feels very "Fallout-y" to me.. but that's a good thing!
Like all costume pieces, the Veteran is usable for all characters, via the holo-wardrobe. Coming in at 790 NCoin/395 Omnibits.. It's in a good price point (IMO) for costumes.
For a holiday week, when I certainly wasn't expecting any updates from Team WildStar.. this is a nice little surprise, and at reasonable prices (Just don't tell my wife I'm buying more stuff)!
Hope everyone has a good New Year's celebration.. whether it's on Nexus, or out in the real world.. remember.. you can drink and hoverboard in game.. don't drink and drive out in the real world.. our crypt keepers don't have the same smart ass replies as Nexus' do… they like to keep you!

We take ourselves pretty seriously today, especially when it comes to matters of the heart. Although the reflective Moon slipped into conceptual Aquarius last night at 11:10 pm EDT, we can't escape from the power of our feelings now. The Moon's opposition to Venus in majestic Leo can create awkwardness in a relationship. However, a trine between romantic Venus and responsible Saturn encourages us to value stabilization over fun and games.

I received a wonderful package in the mail the other day from Brad's Raw Foods. The book "Brad's Raw Made Easy" is coming out next month & I got an early copy (along with some tasty kale chips). Many of you have probably seen & tried his packaged kale chips (they're available in Whole Foods). I love eating kale chips dipped in homemade guacamole! Mmmmmm….
In the past when I have tried to eat a mostly raw diet it has thrown off my GI health & vata dosha balance. This time I am going to try to find a better balance between the nutrient denseness of a raw foods diet along with the grounding diet I follow through Ayurveda & my yoga/meditation practice.
Taking a first glance at Brad's book I saw a lot of accessible raw food recipes. I like seeing that. There are ingredients I know & instructions that look simple to follow! Incorporating raw foods into your diet doesn't need to be anymore complicated than eating cooked foods in my opinion. Often times (myself included) people get overwhelmed with the intricate recipes. Many people tend to be over ambitious with recipes & then get discouraged. I'm going to start simply & will post pictures & reviews of the recipes I make from the book.
You can pre-order your copy now!

Pearci Bastiany
B.A.Marketing, Public Service and Community Engagement Minor '17
My name is Pearci Bastiany and I am a senior majoring in Marketing here at the University of San Francisco. Last year, I made the decision to add the Public Service and Community Engagement minor to my degree. I did not make this decision lightly, as I had just switched my major from Accounting to Marketing at the conclusion of my sophomore year.
I was initially introduced to the PSCE minor, as well as to the USF in DC program, by Star Moore of the Leo T. McCarthy Center. She came to present to my Esther Madriz Diversity Scholars cohort during class, and I was initially apprehensive in getting involved. I must admit that what attracted me to the minor was the fact that most of the prerequisite courses had been fulfilled by classes I had already taken at USF. All I had to do was participate in the USF in DC program, and then I would just have two courses to complete for the minor. Regardless of my reason for picking up the PSCE minor, I have found that the PSCE related courses I have taken thus far have definitely been centered around service to others within the community.
My first PSCE course, Latin@ American Performance and Culture, was a service-learning class in which I volunteered at the Mission Cultural Center for the Latino Arts. During my sophomore year I took part in the Esther Madriz Diversity Scholars living learning community in which we volunteered with Up On Top, an after school program for youth in San Francisco's Tenderloin District. The semester before my USF in DC experience, I volunteered at the Asian Community Garden in the San Francisco Bayview District and the SF-Marin Food Bank. Overall, I believe I have performed close to 40 hours of community service since arriving at USF, with the majority of those hours being tied to PSCE related courses.
Although I was already passionate about doing community service prior to arriving at USF, I believe the Public Service and Community Engagement minor helped me to understand the importance of serving those in need within our communities.
With seven months left until graduation, I can now confidently say adding the Public Service and Community Engagement minor has changed my life in the most profound of ways. I have utilized my public service internship in Washington, D.C. and combined that with my passion for service to the community to create my very own non-profit here in San Francisco. It is called Operation Homecoming, and its purpose is to provide free temporary housing for homeless veterans living in San Francisco. I first created this plan in Washington and presented it as a legislative memorandum to the director of my Congressional office. Since returning from D.C., I went through the steps to turn my idea into a reality and on August 1st, Operation Homecoming became an officially registered corporation in the state of California. Upon graduation, this non-profit will become my life's work and I aim to end veteran homelessness in San Francisco by the age of 25. This is how I am going to change the world from here.

Hi Ralph,
Just thought I'd drop you an email as you were out of town yesterday, I think we need to catch up…
That was a lovely picture of you and the owners watching the Winter Olympics on TV, I particularly liked the way you all had freshly unfolded identical scarves draped on you by wardrobe assistants, it really gave you the common touch.
Early results from exit polls suggest that social media post increased the feeling of the Marching Together concept by 1.7% and offered potential scarf sales of 4% - great stats and a win-win.
As for the game, hopefully you turned over after the ice hockey and caught a bit of it.
Disappointing but not surprising was the general feeling around the arena, though there were also good shouts for feeble, gutless, error-strewn, lacking in cohesion, embarrassing – sadly no one mentioned Marching or Together.
I gave your regards to Virgil as you asked – he was able to have a chat with me behind the goal during the second half as he had literally nothing to do, he looked lovely in high-viz orange.
It has to be said, and please don't take this the wrong way, but with the performance being a 'slight disappointment', I was surprised to see the four of you gurning like circus clowns as you watched it, the rest of us were less amused.
And I have to say, while the stats for brand-awareness across Asia and the US are excellent, for a franchise built on the Soccer experience of Les, and yourself, one of the world's greatest Ice Hockey coaches, we do look incredibly out of touch in the actual 'sporty' competitive bit.
Having been around the brand longer than you guys I have an insight into how a season can look in the third quarter, and I don't know how to break it to you, but this one isn't shaping up terribly well…
I don't want to alarm you, but in 2005 I saw a roster heading for relegation, and this season looks like a nod to those guys.
Back in the day they'd got to a cup final, lost it, lost their way and some managers, and then went down without a fight.
Some might harshly observe that this isn't a team we have now, it's a frigging 2005 tribute act.
The class of 2018 has little fight, no threat, the offensive line is never given the ball, the midfield receivers can't even pass to each other, we have a pair of defensive linesmen who are a goal threat in both boxes, and every week they all meekly climb aboard a bus that has Relegation written boldly in big black letters on the destination board.
Now if you think that is being alarmist I need to point out, my pants are dry, but I know what relegation looks like and smells like, you can sense it - and this team stinks of relegation.
There are 26,000 people who've seen it before and recognise the signs, and another 2000 who are too young to have suffered it before, but they will get the whiff of Championship football sometime in the next ten weeks.
Change the manager people shout, even when it is individual errors costing points - so we have a problem.
If I could compare the franchise to the Titanic, which I think I can, people have been pointing at the iceberg since we were twenty-five miles out.
There's a guy who points at it every season and has been wrong for the last nine years, even he will be correct this time.
We are now a mile away and closing rapidly, so appointing a new helmsman at this point would be like bringing on Steven Davis late in a game and thinking that will turnaround a two goal defeat.
A new boss might be able to stack deckchairs, tune violins or sort out evacuation procedures, but we are now at a stage where he'll struggle to avoid the actual impact.
It's just about too late - the last chance saloon now has less beer on tap than the Rockstone and the Fat Lady is halfway through the first verse of that appalling Saints song you insist on playing at the stadium.
So what can we do?
It might improve matters a little if we dropped the pictures of players cheerfully training and talking about positives after defeats?
Maybe lose the 'gurning clowns look' as you watch the games, and instead you could have a crisis meeting with the manager and coaches an hour after the game, and ask them what the fuck you have just witnessed?
I suspect the fans would like to see some passion, some fight, a little sign that someone other than themselves actually cares.
I realise you're busy at the moment, but as soon as the Ice Hockey final is done, perhaps you could sit down with Les and see if he's noticed that things are going a little bit 'Charlton'.
It might also be an idea to hold off the old rallying cry Hollywood speeches for a bit, they don't sit well with a fanbase who can see what is happening before their eyes.
Ditto the unwavering support for the manager thing.
Finally, I don't know if you've heard of Rupert Lowe but I'd hate your career to be remembered in the same way.
Sorry to sound a bit down about things but when no one turned up yesterday after half time, even the most dedicated franchise supporters wonder what the fuck is actually happening?
Anyway, great news on the Asia brand-awareness figures, love to Kat, good luck with it all - see you soon.

UniProt release 2010_10
Published October 5, 2010
UniProtKB/Swiss-Prot ubiquitin pathway annotation
Post-translational modifications (PTMs) can have a profound effect on protein function. They act as switches to activate or inactivate polypeptides, change their subcellular location, modify protein-protein partnerships, etc. However, no PTM is as versatile as ubiquitination, i.e. the post-translational conjugation of ubiquitin. Ubiquitination can occur on a large range of proteins and not only controls their lifespan, but also expands their functional repertoire (see reviews). In view of its importance in many cellular events, we have decided to qualitatively and quantitatively improve our annotation of proteins involved in the ubiquitin and ubiquitin-like pathways in various species, ranging from plants to mammals. Bacteria and archaea which have been recently shown to have an ubiquitin-like system for protein degradation, called pupylation, were not neglected (see next release's headline).
Ubiquitin (see for instance entry P0CG47 featuring one of the human ubiquitin gene products) is a small 76 amino-acid protein that is ubiquitously expressed (hence its name) in all eukaryotic cells and highly conserved among eukaryotic species: human and yeast ubiquitin share 96% sequence identity. Ubiquitination most frequently occurs via an isopeptide bond between a lysine of the target protein and the C-terminal glycine of ubiquitin. Substrates can be monoubiquitinated, via the attachment of a single ubiquitin, or multiubiquitinated, when more than one amino acid is modified with monoubiquitin. Ubiquitin can also be added sequentially to substrates to form ubiquitin chains resulting in polyubiquitination. In ubiquitin polymers, the lysine side chain of one ubiquitin molecule is linked to the C terminus of another ubiquitin molecule, and so on. Ubiquitin contains 7 lysine residues, all of which can contribute to such linkages with a different functional outcome for the target protein. For instance the most prominent function of ubiquitin is labeling proteins for proteasomal degradation. This signal is conveyed by polyubiquitin chains linked through the ubiquitin lysine-48 side chain ('Lys-48'-linked chains). 'Lys-63'-linked polyubiquitin chain functions in signal transduction and DNA repair without functioning as a degradation signal. Monoubiquitination has recently been shown to have a signaling function in the endocytic pathway.
Three types of enzyme – E1, E2 and E3 – carry out ubiquitination. E1s activate ubiquitin, E2s pick up the ubiquitin from E1 and, in close collaboration with E3, conjugate it to substrates. E3s have a crucial role in recognition of the substrate. They are either catalytically active and directly transfer the activated ubiquitin to the target, or serve as a scaffold linking catalytic E2 to the appropriate substrate. All eukaryotes encode a very limited number of E1 enzymes (a single gene in many species, 3 in humans), but multiple isozymes of E2 and E3, up to several dozen E2s and many hundreds of E3s. This allows the modification of many proteins in a highly specific and controlled manner.
Ubiquitin modification is only transient: enzymes, known as deubiquitinating enzymes (DUBs), can remove ubiquitin molecules that are attached to proteins. They also show specificity towards the type of ubiquitin linkage. For instance, the BRCC3 metalloprotease specifically cleaves 'Lys-63'-linked polyubiquitin chains, while the cysteine protease USP15 shows preference for 'Lys-48' chains.
The ubiquitin pathway turned out to be even more complex with the discovery of several ubiquitin-like proteins, including SUMO, ISG15, NEDD8, UFM1. These proteins also regulate a vast array of cellular events, such as nuclear transport, transcriptional regulation, apoptosis, protein stability, signalling, protein-protein interactions, etc.
The UniProtKB annotation marathon led to the integration of 940 new eukaryotic entries and annotation of 942 new sites of ubiquitination. Close to 4'000 experimental GO terms have been manually added to UniProtKB entries. 469 proteins directly involved in the process of ubiquitination (and ubiquitin-like conjugation) have been annotated or updated and can now be retrieved with the keyword 'Ubl conjugation pathway', along with some other 3'400 manually reviewed entries. Proteins undergoing ubiquitination, including autoubiquitination classically observed in E3 proteins, are tagged with the keyword 'Ubl conjugation' and, when known, the effect of the PTM is indicated in the 'Post-translational modification' subsection of 'General Annotation' (see for instance entry Q9Y243).

Could your bathroom shower use a little updating? Check out the newest trends.
Bigger is better when it comes to showers these days. Dual-income families want bigger showers — or at least ones that look bigger — with multiple shower heads so everyone can get ready for work at the same time.
Here's what you need to know about outfitting a large shower:
- The illusion of greater space is created with clean lines. Glass shower doors are now frameless.
- A bench for relaxing in the shower is a popular option.
- Not only are multiple shower heads a growing trend, but so are multiple sprays for each head.
- Control valves are more sophisticated to meet the demands of multiple shower heads. A thermostat can be preset with one control, while the volume is set with another.
- Shower-head options include the European-style hand-held shower head, the oversize rain-shower head, a rain bar consisting of a strip of jets that can be installed vertically or horizontally as a long cross section, and multiple body-spray heads (either three or six are used and customized to spray at knee level, midbody, and shoulder height).
- The cost of a deluxe shower begins at $15,000.

A. Instructions for learners - How to up-load a work file
Click the following link to access the eSubmission web page to up-load a document to an ePortfolio for Jane Smith. You will be assuming the role of Jane for this test. Please note that you will need to enter a few pieces of information into the eSubmission web page, as set out below.
Click on the link below to access the 'up-load' or 'eSubmission' web page.
This is a course set up for you to test the system – in real life this would be the RAC code of the OCN London course run you have registered learners on.
In real life your document would be work to be assessed for a particular unit and cover one or more learning outcomes within that unit.
That's essentially it for learners. Simple, safe and user friendly. Tutors can use the same system to up-load documents on behalf of learners if they wish, if they would rather do this themselves.
To experience the system as a tutor / assessor or moderator, see below.
B Tutor / Moderator Instructions
Logging in as a tutor will allow you to browse the contents of the system from a tutor's and moderator's perspective. You could for example, navigate to the file you just up-loaded as a learner, and see how that can be opened by the tutor or verifier, as if this were going to be assessed.
1/ Log in to https://drive.google.com with these credentials:
Username: email@example.com
Password: TestCentre1
NB If you are already logged in to Google Drive under your own account you will need to log out by clicking the icon on the top right and selecting "Sign Out". Google may redirect you to the account security page. If this happens click the nine dots on the top right and select Drive:
2/ After logging in, you will be presented with a folder for the pretend 'Test Centre'. Open this to find the pretend course run listed. (If your centre has several course runs using the OPT system, they would each have a separate folder listed here.). Open the folder to see a list of the learners registered on the course. Here you have access to the individual learner's ePortfolios that hold up-loaded work and also the tracking sheets for each unit. For this sample test course run we have added three units.
Click a learner's name to see their unit folders, and then click a unit folder to access any work up-loaded by that learner for that unit. For example, go to Jane Smith's folder, and click on the 1st Unit, and then open the tracking sheet which now should have a link and record of the file you just up-loaded as a result of the above 'learner' instructions.
As a tutor / assessor, you open the work from the learner, by clicking on that link. You may then leave feedback for the learner in the space designated. When this is done, email a link to the tracking sheet so the learner can access the feedback. (This is done by clicking 'Add-ons'>'OPT'>'OCNLondon email link to learner'.)
That's the essentials! Request a brief practical session to get you up and running if needed.
Contact Colin Rugg-Easey, Head of Quality and Product Development at OCN London or email email@example.com .
If you have further questions, do call us up on 020 7278 5511. Also, see our dedicated web pages about OPT - http://www.ocnlondon.org.uk/centres/opt.aspx

Scottish teachers are being encouraged to report any concerns over the sexual wellbeing of their pupils to the child's 'Named Person', or state guardian, but not to the child's parents under new government guidelines. The advice has deepened concerns by campaigners that parents are being marginalised by the Named Person policy. A Christian organisation is seeking legal advice on whether the guidelines can be challenged.
Under Scottish law, all children, regardless of whether or not they are deemed to be at risk, are allocated to a Named Person – a state guardian who is tasked with monitoring their wellbeing. That policy has already provoked anger from campaigners who are concerned that the government is side-lining parents and replacing them with the state.
The Named Person policy is already being legally challenged by the Christian Institute, who is also seeking advice on the new sex education guidelines. A campaign spokesman has lambasted the decision to issue the guidelines as "incredibly crass," considering that the Named Person policy is still subject to a judicial review.
The new guidelines make no mention of parents in the entire section on confidentiality. Instead, the document advises that if a teacher suspects a child is involved in "underage sexual activity" which may pose a "risk to the child's wellbeing, staff should inform the child's Named Person." (Extraordinarily, it appears to suggest that teachers may wish to simply turn a blind eye to underage sexual activity which they deem not harmful, despite it being illegal).
In addition, it states that "The Children and Young People (Scotland) Act 2014 will introduce duties in respect of sharing information likely to be relevant to a child's wellbeing with a child's Named Person," and also that "Where a teacher receives information which affects or is likely to affect the wellbeing of a child or young person, relevant information must be shared as appropriate with the child's Named Person," – but again makes no mention of parents.
A spokesman for the campaigning group NO2NP said "It beggars belief a teacher with concerns about the well-being of a child – including under-age sexual activity, which is a serious criminal offence – should be told by the government to pass on those concerns to the named person and not the child's parents.
"Parents aren't mentioned at all in the entire section on confidentiality in this guidance. The Government think the named person is entitled to know confidential, sexual health information about a child that its own parents are not."
He added that the document was further evidence of governmental efforts to side-line the crucial role that parents play in raising their children, which was likely to further erode trust between parents and the state.
"The guidance's empty platitudes about partnership between parents and schools are negated by the priority given to the named person's role. What parent is going to feel they can co-operate with teachers if they know they will keep them in the dark about their child's sexual activity but will share it with the named person?" he said.
Liz Smith, the Conservative education spokeswoman, commented: "I have huge problems with this. Parents will be very concerned that the first person who children will go to is the named person. Parents are being marginalised."

MTV – One Bad Choice — Levi Sparks — Will Air This Wednesday
MTV's will air an episode of their show "One Bad Choice" which will feature Levi Sparks of the Elkhart 4. The Episode will air on Wednesday March 4, 2015 at 11:00pm ET/PT.
Producers of the show have provided this blog with the following synopsis.
"One Bad Choice" explores the consequences of young people who made a single, terrible decision that irrevocably changes their lives forever. With in-depth accounts of true stories narrated by the actual participants and recreations by actors to portray the events that occurred, the series serves up cautionary tales that take viewers on a rollercoaster ride filled with shocking twists and turns, suspense, drama, and redemption.
In the March 4 episode, viewers will be introduced to the shocking and deeply emotional story of Levi Sparks, a street smart 17-year-old from Indiana, who has had a rough childhood and has become used to taking care of himself. Unfortunately, Levi hasn't always made the best choices and is confident than he can still have fun and stay out of any real trouble. Levi decides not to get involved when his joy-seeking friends enter a neighbor's house with the intent to burglarize it. However, as gunshots ring out and someone gets killed, bystander Levi is shocked to learn he is being charged with felony murder and suddenly staring down the barrel of a life sentence because of a trigger he didn't pull.
New York based producer Lia Araujo spoke recently to The Elkhart Truth. In her interview she reported spending five hours over three weeks interviewing and filming Levi. According to the Elkhart Truth she said "I think one of the things that struck me was just how completely charming he is," Araujo said. "He is such a happy kid."
The Elkhart Truth continues writing,
Araujo said she hopes the episode generates a conversation about what society can do to help troubled youth before they end up incarcerated.
"I think we need to pay more attention to our young people before we get to the point where we're locking them up for 50 years," she said. "This was the end of a string of cries for help."
You can view a trailer of the episode here:

Opinion 98 - 1
PUBLIC CONTRACTS -- Contracts Not
Requiring Bidding (contract with a public authority for transportation of
Medicaid clients)
This is in reply to your letter concerning a proposal in connection with the provision of transportation services for Medicaid clients, as provided for by Social Services Law, §365-a and 18 NYCRR §505.10. Under the proposal, a county would contract with a regional transportation authority ("authority") which would act as transportation coordinator and, whenever possible, provide fixed-route transportation on its fleet of buses. Where appropriate, the authority would combine fixed-route transportation with subcontracted taxi or wheelchair transportation. You ask whether the county may enter into such a contract without competitive bidding, pursuant to the authority set forth in General Municipal Law, §99-r. For purposes of this opinion, we will assume that the authority is authorized to provide such a contracted service as part of its corporate powers and that the proposal is permissible under the above-cited social services statute and regulations.
General Municipal Law, §103 states
that, except as otherwise expressly provided by act of the Legislature or by
local law adopted prior to September 1, 1953, all contracts for public work of a
political subdivision involving an expenditure in excess of $20,000 and all
purchase contracts of a political subdivision involving an expenditure in excess
of $10,000 must be awarded pursuant to the competitive bidding requirements set
forth in that section. This Office has expressed the opinion that, generally,
contracts for transportation services are subject to the competitive bidding
requirements of section 103 (see, e.g., 33 Opns St Comp, 1977, p 164; 1974 Opns
St Comp No. 73-1189, unreported; 23 Opns St Comp, 1967, p 654; 21 Opns St Comp,
1966, p 745; cf. 22 Opns St Comp, 1966, p 228; Amherst v Gross,
80 AD2d 719, 437 NYS2d 137, holding that ambulance services fall within the
professional services exception to competitive bidding).
We believe the language of section 99-r
clearly indicates that the governing board of a municipal corporation may enter
into agreements "to provide" certain services to state agencies,
public benefit corporations, public authorities and units of the State
University. This conclusion is supported by the reference in section 99-r to
"appropriation(s) ... available" to pay for municipal services
provided to the State or units of the State University (see also Governor's Bill
Jacket, L 1991, ch 637, Letter of July 10, 1991 to the Honorable Elizabeth
D. Moore, Counsel to the Governor, from the New York State Legislative
Commission on Rural Resources, at whose request the bill was introduced,
recommending the enactment of section 99-r and characterizing the bill as
relating to services "provided by the municipality"). It is less
clear, however, whether the statute also authorizes contracts in which a
municipal corporation receives services provided by the State, a public
benefit corporation, public authority or unit of the State University.
Several memoranda in the Governor's
Bill Jacket for section 99-r support this conclusion. The legislation was
characterized as "providing both parties broad power to review their common
services and to contract with each other where there may be a savings to State
or local taxpayers" (Memorandum, NYS Office of General Services, July 16,
1991). It was also characterized as intended to "reduce the cost of
government by enabling municipalities and State agencies (and other entities of
the State) to enter into agreements and/or contracts with each other for the
coordinated provision of services" (Memorandum Division of the Budget, July
18, 1991; see also Memorandum to the Governor, NYS Association of Counties, July
12, 1991; but see Letter to Honorable Elizabeth D. Moore, Counsel to
the Governor from the Legislative Commission on Rural Resources, supra).
1. In this regard, we note that the original version of the bill which became section 99-r expressly authorized contracts for "police services ... fire protection ... or certain other services of government" (S. 4228/A. 6884, 1991). The elimination of the specific reference to police and fire service is a clear indication that these services of government are among those considered "regularly provided to the public as part of general government services" and, therefore, excluded from section 99-r.
2. In view of this conclusion, we need not address whether any of the proposed services fall within any other exception to competitive bidding (see, e.g., 22 Opns St Comp, 1966, supra; Amherst v Gross, supra).
