The two polypeptides that form the T-cell receptor on most T cells are termed α and β. A small subset of T cells has receptors formed by different polypeptides termed γ and δ. The polypeptides of the T-cell receptor have a diversity that is comparable to that estimated for immunoglobulin molecules. However, unlike immunoglobulins, the T-cell receptors recognize small fragments of antigen only if they are presented to them by defined major histocompatibility complex molecules on the plasma membrane of another cell, the antigen-presenting cell. The response of the T cell to antigen depends on the intensity of the signal generated by ligation of the T-cell receptor, and is modified by the simultaneous ligation of other accessory molecules. Interactions at the contact sites between T-cells and antigen-presenting cells are organized in the immunologic synapse. The outcome of T-cell antigen recognition can range from immune activation and T-cell proliferation to specific T-cell tolerance and/or programmed cell death. ++ Acronyms and Abbreviations AP-1, activation protein-1; APC, antigen-presenting cell; CTLA-4, cytotoxic T-lymphocyte antigen 4; ERK, extracellular receptor-activated kinase; FOXP3, forkhead box P3; ICAM, intercellular adhesion molecule; IFN-γ, interferon-gamma; IL, interleukin; IPEX syndrome, immune dysregulation, polyendocrinopathy, enteropathy, X-linked syndrome; ITAM, immunoreceptor tyrosine-based activation motif; ITIM, immunoreceptor tyrosine-based inhibitory motif; iTREG, induced regulatory T cell; JNK, c-Jun N-terminal kinase; LAT, linker of activation of T cells; LFA, lymphocyte function associated; MAP, mitogen-activated protein; MHC, major histocompatibility complex; NFAT, nuclear factor of activated T cell; PKC, protein kinase C; PLC-γ1, phospholipase C-1 gamma; RORγt, retinoic acid-related orphan receptor γ thymus isoform; SAPK, stress-activated protein kinase; SH2 domain, Src homology 2 domain; SH3 domain, Src homology 3 domain; STAT, signal transducer and activator of transcription; TFH cell, follicular helper T cell; TGF-β, transforming growth factor beta; Th17, CD4+ T-cell subset that produces cytokines of the interleukin-17 family; TREG, CD4+CD25+ regulatory T cells; V-like, variable-region-like; VLA, very-late activation; ZAP-70, zeta-associated protein of 70 kDa. + ++ *This chapter was written by Thomas J.

Graduate Programs
Urban Design (MUP)
The graduate program in Urban Design, led by Distinguished Professor Michael Sorkin, is focused on creating new, equitable, beautiful, and sustainable forms and technologies for the city and urban life. Committed to both experiment and amelioration, the two-semester program focuses each year on a New York City site and, after a research visit, on design of a city in a demanding environment abroad.
Believing that there is no grand, unified discourse of the urban, the program offers wide opportunities to engage the unparalleled resources of City University and the City of New York, providing a rich variety of critical perspectives on urbanism.
Applicants to the Urban Design programs should hold a professional degree in either architecture or landscape architecture. Applicants from other backgrounds will be considered only in exceptional circumstances and on demonstration of a high level of design ability.
The program is designed to be completed in two full-time, sequential semesters. At the core of the curriculum is the design studio taught by the program director. This intensely engages a sequence of problems ranging from abstract studies to work on a large New York City site to a project in an interestingly stressed city elsewhere, visited during the semester break. Projects have addressed sites including the Ecuadorian rainforest, Belfast, Tianjin, Nicosia, Johannesburg, New Orleans, Hanoi, Wuhan, Bogota, Tijuana, Biloxi, and Chicago.
A total of four courses is required each semester. The electives are chosen from the remarkable and wide-ranging urban offerings and distinguished faculty at the School of Architecture and City College at large, the Urban Affairs and Planning Program at Hunter College, and the CUNY Graduate Center. In recent years, students have had the opportunity to study with Tom Angotti, Marshall Berman, Denise Hoffman Brandt, Joan Copjec, Toni Griffin, Marta Gutman, David Halle, David Harvey, Lily Hoffman, Cindi Katz, Setha Low, Dean MacCannell, Susan Saegert, Neil Smith, Ida Susser, Achva Stein, Mike Wallace, and many more from across CUNY.
Per-semester courseload: 16 credits
Note: For students who desire a longer course of study, it is possible to distribute the credits over up to three semesters with the required studio and theory courses taken during the first two semesters.

Years ago I had one of those software programs that allowed you to create a room or series of rooms and then decorate them with paint, flooring, window coverings, and furniture. I had it installed on my cheap IBM computer which had less memory than the smallest flash drive has these days. It took about twenty minutes to render a three-dimensional image of the room and yet, I played on it for hours never minding the glitches and creeping pace. Today, I wouldn't even be able to run that program on any computer I have but I've never been able to find a replacement…until just recently.
AutoDesk, the creators of AutoCAD (the world's premier design software), has a free online home design software called Homestyler. It's very easy to use and a lot of fun. Like the software I used back in the good ol' days, you can create floorplans and decorate them with furniture, paint, flooring, and other accessories. They also have premade floorplans which you can play with as well. There are even a collection of YouTube how-to videos that you can watch if you're having trouble figuring out what to do. Once your plan is done, you can see it in 3D and then send it to your friends!
There were only a few draw backs that I encountered. One was that the catalogue of furniture was limited so sometimes you have to use something similar to what you want (in appearance and size) but not the exact piece. They also don't seem to have any window coverings which, to me, is essential in room decor. So, if you want a precise design this is not for you. But, if you want to simply get the essence of how a room will look, this is your tool! For design geeks like me, you can spend hours just dreaming up rooms which will never come to fruition…like the one below.
But who cares? It's FUN! Give it a try and let us know what you think!

Saying he knew nothing about his chief of staff's voting scandal, Congressman Joe Garcia (D-FL) said he demanded that his chief of staff Jeffrey Garcia resign. "I cannot stress how angry I am," Garcia said. "Yesterday I spoke with the State Attorney and staff investigators by phone. I offered my maximum cooperation in these events. We're going to cooperate fully and I've asked all my staff to do the same."
Jeffrey Garcia was allegedly involved in a scheme to manipulate the 2012 primary elections by handing in hundreds upon hundreds of fake absentee-ballot requests. Approximately 2,552 fake absentee ballot requests across Florida originated from hacker accounts, with 472 of the requests from Garcia's district. According to the Miami Herald, "the ballot requests were clustered and targeted Democratic voters in Garcia's congressional district and Republican voters in two Florida House of Representatives districts, indicating a concerted effort by a mystery computer hacker or hackers."
Garcia did say that his understanding is that "no ballots were tampered with. No ballots were touched. I believe that while this was an ill-conceived effort it was meant to expand voter access."

How Ahimsa Expresses Itself In My Life
Ahimsa is the first of the Yamas which are the ethical, moral and societal guidelines for yogis.
Although there are a lot of different definitions of ahimsa, one of my favorites is by Nicolai Bachman and can be found in his book, The Path of the Yoga Sutras (2011):
It involves abstaining from intentionally inflicting pain on or killing other creatures in thought, word or deed. A nonjudgmental and forgiving attitude is essential to practising ahimsa, the first and most important social observance. Ahimsa also implies an attitude that strives to reduce harm.
That being said, I also like to think of ahimsa as compassion and non-violence towards myself and towards others.
In my day to day life ahimsa expresses itself in many ways. When practising ahimsa towards myself, I'm trying to not give too much space to negative thoughts or emotions (such as shame, guilt, anger, disappointment), or beat myself up for something I did or didn't do. I also try to not expect too much of myself all the time. Of course, I like to push myself and give my best but I also try to give myself permission to take it down a notch once in a while. Ahimsa can also be observed in the way I decide to feed myself and into the products I buy or support. As much as possible, I try to buy ethically and organically sourced products but when it is not possible, I also know that I need to let it go. For me, it's all about my intentions. If my intentions come from a pure heart, then the outcome will also be pure no matter what happens at the end.
On a more physical level, in yoga for example, I try to respect my body and my breath as much as possible. Like I said earlier, I like to push myself enough that I can improve and grow but not to the point of harm. On a daily basis, I also consciously decide to reduce my violence exposure, be it by my choice of TV shows, books, or music.
Ahimsa also expresses itself in ways we interact with others: forgiveness, not expecting too much from others, not being judgemental, attempting to keep my temper in check and supporting/buying responsibly or ethically products are all ways to externally practice ahimsa. I used to be very quick to respond emotionally to situations. Once I started to learn more about the Yamas, and ahimsa in particular, I consciously decided to be gentler in the way I react to events that trigger me emotionally. I can't pretend that it is always easy but I can say that it is so much better for my mental and physical health.
Overall, I think that trying to find peace in myself allows me to come to peace more easily with others. Yoga helps me so much on that journey and that is one of the many reasons I keep coming back to my mat. Namaste!

This week we wrap up our study of the Old Testament judges by studying Samuel. Samuel was called by God as a boy to tell Eli and the people of Israel about God's plan. Samuel used God's words to tell the people what God is like. John 1:1 says that Jesus is the Word. Jesus showed the world what God is like, and He told people to turn away from their sin. Jesus ultimately freed people from the power of sin by dying on the cross and rising again. Help your kids connect Samuel using God's words to tell others about what God is like and Jesus, the Word of God, showing the world perfectly what God is like because He is God.
This week we come to Samson in our study of the Old Testament judges. God gave Samson great strength, but Samson was very weak when it came to being faithful to God. Samson's sin led to his death, but God used his death to defeat the Philistines and deliver the Israelites from their enemy.Samson's story reminds us of Jesus. Jesus never sinned, but God sent Him to die on the cross and rise again to rescue believers from sin and give them eternal life.Help your children see that Samson offers us a contrasting picture of Jesus. Like Samson, Jesus' death was used to deliver God's people, only Jesus did not die because of a sin He committed. Jesus died because of our sin.
This Sunday morning, we continue examining the judges of the Old Testament with Gideon. Gideon was an unlikely judge. When God called him, he was afraid and was unsure if he could be used by God. God proved to Gideon, and the Israelites, that He is strong enough and that He is the One Israel should depend on.The Israelites cried out to God because they knew they could not save themselves. Even Gideon was not enough to save them? God used Gideon to save His people, but God fought the battle for them. The people needed someone who was mighty to save. Jesus Christ came to save us from sin because we cannot save ourselves. Only God, through Christ, can save us. Help your kids see that God uses our weaknesses for His glory.
This week we continue our study of the judges as we work through the Old Testament. When God's people were distressed by Canaan, they cried out for a judge and God sent them a judge named Deborah. Deborah obeyed God and instructed Barak to fight Israel's enemy. With the help of a woman named Jael, Israel won the victory. God does what is for His glory and our good. (Psalm 115:3? Romans 8:28) God fought for the Israelites and used Deborah, Barak, and Jael to defeat Canaan.
This week we begin studying the Old Testament judges. After Joshua died, the people were left without a leader and began to sin against God. God disciplined them and when the people cried out for deliverance, God sent a leader called a judge to rescue them.Later, when that judge died, the people sinned again and the pattern was repeated.The judges saved the people from the consequences of their sin, but not the cause of it. God's plan was to one day send a true Deliverer—Jesus, His own Son—to be the King of His people. Jesus saves people from sin forever.Help your kids see that all of the judges were imperfect humans and they could not rescue God's people from the cause of their sin, just the consequences.
This week we will listen in as Joshua shares his final words of encouragement to Israel.Joshua is near the end of his life, and like Moses, he addresses the people to point them to God. They had a choice to make: choose to follow God or choose to follow the false gods. They couldn't do both. As Joshua prepared for his own death, he left a legacy of obedience to God. After Jesus'death and resurrection, He appeared to the disciples and left them with a legacy: to make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, teaching them to obey everything Jesus commanded. (Matthew 28:19-20) Help your children see that they have the same choice to make today. They may not be tempted to worship little statues, but they can worship plenty of other things besides God.
As we continue exploring the Old Testament this upcoming Sunday, we will encounter Achan disobeying God and taking something from Jericho after its defeat. Because of this,when Israel attacked Ai next, they suffered defeat. God helped Joshua uncover Achan's sin, and God punished Achan for his sin.The punishment for Achan's sin was death. It seems harsh, but the Bible says that the wages of sin is death. (Romans 6:23) Because we sin, we deserve to die too. Jesus came to die in our place. When we confess our sins and trust in Jesus, we are forgiven and saved from spiritual death.Help your children see that God takes sin seriously, but He also offers forgiveness and eternal life with God through the death and resurrection of Jesus Christ.
This week in Sunday school, we pick up just a few days after the triumphal entry when the same crowd that chanted "hosanna" to Jesus now chanted "crucify Him." Jesus was betrayed by Judas, arrested, condemned, and crucified. After He died, Jesus was placed in a tomb, but on the third day, He rose again conquering death and providing life to those who believe.
Our journey through the Old Testament continues this week with Israel crossing the Jordan River and entering into the promised land at last. Their first battle is against the city of Jericho. God fought for His people and gave the city to them. It was clear from the beginning that it was God's power, not Israel's strength, that would give them the land. Just as the Lord defeated Jericho for the Israelites, Jesus defeats His enemies and leads believers into the promised land of eternity. Help your kids connect how God defeated Israel's enemies with how Jesus defeated our greatest enemy: sin.

I'm quite vague on purpose about what characters look like in stories. There's a rant elsewhere about this, and not wanting to second-guess what you're imagining.
However someone out there might be curious about what I'm actually imagining.
I should do a quick spoiler thing here. You might not want to know. It might spoil the fun for you. Ruin the picture in your head and shit. People get quite worked up about pubes, or the lack thereof.
You're really sure you want to do this?
Okay then.
Um, I don't really picture any of the characters in my head when I'm writing. Sorry. I'm not sure if that's weird.
I do have a vague idea of what they all look like though, so I can tell you that. Unless it's really obvious from something else, I tend to assume everyone is around 30, that all the men are cut just enough not to look like roid-freaks at the gym, that everyone is shaved everywhere, especially the guys, that the men are slightly hotter than the woman, and have dark hair, and are probably a bit tanned even though they should be covering up and worrying about skin damage. Dark and tanned in brooding kind of way.
So yeah, did that just wreck your Erik Northman blondey fantasy? See what I mean.
The women are dark-haired, notwithstanding the cover of One Plus One Minus Two, which doesn't count because I just liked the photo. Everyone has small tits, and the men like them anyway, so there and I don't care what you think. I have no opinion on circumcision either way.
No man wears underwear in any of my stories. I just decided that right now, but this is now official canon. All men are commando. This is implied in the stories anyway, when you think of how easily cocks are removed from trousers, and the lack of fumbling around with elastic and him wincing when you ping his waistband down on his balls, and that's why. Commando all the way, and if sometimes they need to jump in a swimming pool naked, then so be it.
Having said all that, I really don't want to ruin this for other people by getting too specific, so this is just what I imagine, in case you are interested. Please, please feel free to imagine everyone in any way you wish. Size whatever, hung like anything between a mouse and a donkey, and as hot or unhot as you want. I'd like you to, I really would. That's why I wasn't clear in the first place.
Fun fact. Did you know the line about cocks like horses and emissions like donkeys is really in the bible. And I thought my writing about prostitution for fun was smutty. That's just… well shit.
And yes, I probably did just offend someone by linking from here to there. Sorry.
While I think of it, there's also names.
All the names are a bit WASPy. That's mainly because I'm in Australia, and our names are different (more Kylies and Tammys, less Madisons and Dakotas) so I'm guessing a bit about what normal names are elsewhere. And working from a list of the most common names in the US I found on the web. Seriously.
Don't read too much into them. Pretend Mike is short for Miguel or Jan is a dude from Holland, or whatever else, if that helps.
I don't actually think a lot about the names, to be honest. I tend to use easy to type names in drafts, then pick a real name right before I finish. So that's interesting, not. Amy is very common. Pretty much every female character starts as Amy. Tim, Tom, and Will are usual for the men. For some reason I keep ending up needing more guy names than girl names. Hmm.
I do think properly about the names before I pick one, because they might clash with the character, but only after I know who the character is.
There you go, an insight into the creative process and shit.

Address: D 20/21 Munshi Ghat tel: +91-542-2452179; +91-542-2455139.
Ram Bhawan is the residence of the Kautilya Society in Varanasi. KS is an Indian NGO that promotes intercultural dialogue and Ram Bhawan is its study Centre that offers hospitality to people interested in Indian studies. However travellers can also stay there also for just a couple of days. The atmosphere of Ram Bhawan is conducive to reading and study and remains faithful to the simple comforts of an Indian home with a splash of colour. Walls are painted in the colours of the ancient city: a cooling forest green facing the court; peacock blues and mango orange in the bedrooms. Furniture is colonial Teak or cane.
Ram Bhawan is a four-storey house built in a traditional Indian, joint-family style. It enjoys a beautiful view of the river Ganges from the terrace. It is situated in the heart of old city of Varanasi, next to Dashashwamedh Ghat.
The ground floor has a large sitting area, library and offices. The upper three floors have three bedrooms each, a sitting area, dining room, kitchen and bathrooms. The terrace has a study room with spectacular views of the river and the city. Bedrooms are furnished with a bed, a study table, chair, fan, mosquito net and a network outlet. Wireless internet connection is available 24 hours. Electrical back up systems help guest to cope with the frequent power cuts at Varanasi.
By Indian law, it is necessary for all residing guests to become members of the KS Organization; annual membership is 6 Euros; life membership is 20 Euros.
Donations requested for rooms range from € 5 to € 10 per day, including half board (€ 2 per day per guest for additional guest sharing the same room). In low season rates are approximately 20% lower. Special prices can be obtained by groups renting entire floors. Long term guests can get attractive discounts. Donations requested for rooms include breakfast and lunch prepared by a well trained cook. In the evenings, it is possible to cook something in the kitchenette on the third or first floor.
When renovating Ram Bhawan, the Kautilya Society founding members had to choose between creating many guest rooms and preserving a traditional Indian joint family environment. We chose the latter, which explains the few rooms we have and why we cost more than the average guest house in Varanasi. Ram Bhawan guests appreciate our decision. They find it a "home away form home". After a long journey to Banaras, when guests enter the inner court of the ground floor at Ram Bhawan, they immediately feel a sense of calm.
While individual rooms are available for students at special rates for long-term stays, the house lends itself very well for being rented by small groups per floor, or by a larger group that wants to have the entire house at its disposition for a retreat or a study seminar.
Some remarks on the Ram Bhawan Guest Book:
"It was well worth the 40-hour train ride from Madras," wrote Nancy Hausner from Woodstock, New York. "
"Places, people and timing add up to make an experience joyous or not; and there is no doubt in my mind that staying at Ram Bhawan, with its newly painted walls, amazing roof view, entire floor at our disposal, and kindness of everyone made my time in Varanasi as magical as it turned out to be," wrote Ellen from Nepal. "It's like finding a wonderful home in a strange land." (Information taken from the Kautilya House website at www.kautilyasociety.com)

Name: Shattered Dreams
Author: Shubha Vilas
Genre: Mythology / Spiritual
Publisher: Jaico Books
Publication Year: 2015
Number of pages: 387
Price: 350 INR
My rating: 3.5/5
The Storyline –
The book works on the premise that 'A singe Shattered Dream creates a Domino Effect.'
This book is part 2 of the series 'Ramayana : A Game of Life'. The story starts with King Dasarath deciding to coronate Prince Rama as the King. It has been 12 years since the marriage of Rama and Sita and everyone is living happily in Ayodhya. Dasarath decides it is time for him to abdicate his crown and to hand over the reigns of the kingdom to the able Prince Rama. That is when the queen Kaikei interrupts and asks for two boons, which the King had given her long ago, to be redeemed. As is known, Kaikei, Rama's stepmother, is not happy about the coronation. Her mind is poisoned by her maid Manthara. Manthara works up Kaikei to such a state that Kaikei begins to believe that she and her son have been wronged. Queen Kaikei asks Dasarath to grant her the following wishes – for her son, Prince Bharata, to be crowned as the King, and secondly, she wants Prince Rama to be exiled to the Dandakaranya forest for 14 years. What follows since this proclamation are the teachings which has been provided in this book. Here, every action, every word spoken, is analysed and explained to the reader in very simple terms.
The story in the book spans from the declaration of King Dasarath of Rama's coronation till Prince Bharat beginning to rule Ayodhya from a hut on the outskirts of Ayodhya. Read on to find out how this comes to be.
What worked for me –
1) The book is very well-written. It takes a bit of time to adjust to the format. But it is written in a format similar to other holy books in regional languages. The story flows on and there are notes explaining the reasoning at the bottom of the pages.
2) The story is very common and we have heard it and seen it many times. But, it is the foot-notes that is the real thing to read on. It is a treasure of information.
3) The dialogues, interactions between the characters are etched out in detail. To the point of being tedious, they are still a delight to read.
4) The book is interspersed with short stories or rather background stories of the present story. It has been interlinked very well in the book.
5) I have not read the first book, but that does not take away anything from reading only the second book.
What did not work –
1) The beginning of the book is a bit slow. Atleast, till Kaikei comes into the picture, it is a bit boring.
2) Getting adjusted to reading the story and the footnotes, takes some effort initially.
3) The language at the beginning is a bit flowery maybe because it is dealing with Gods and everything is superlative.
Overall verdict –
For the un-initiated, or those who know the story but are unable to read in regional language, this is a very good book on Ramayana. Till date, I was never inspired by the Ramayana story. But understanding the subtleties in the story, has definitely changed my perspective. A must read for spiritual knowledge. It is definitely a book for collectors. You can keep the book along with your holy books.

Price of Bitcoin, Ethereum and Ripple surges as European Central Bank dismisses cryptocurrency ban fears
The price of Bitcoin and other major cryptocurrencies ascended today as a result of the European Central Bank declaration laid off doubts of an imminent restriction. Last month, the fall of Bitcoin became so intensive that the sharp fall was purported as a 'bloodbath' and a 'horror show', before eventually being referred to as the 'cryptopocalypse
But from then on, the price of most principal virtual currencies has been ascending, though all crypto-markets continue to be highly unstable and vulnerable to dramatic wobbles. The price of one Bitcoin is seated at about $8,800 this morning, which is an rise of about $400 from its lowest position yesterday.
Mario Draghi announced it was not his organisation's function to regulate Bitcoin. The price of Bitcoin has been on the up for the past 2day
Mario Draghi likewise cautioned the consumers about the risks attached with the volatile cryptocurrency, which is subject to dramatic spikes and failures. Governing bodies are demonstrating a developing appetite for new rules to regulate the crypto-markets, which have viewed wild price swings and a series of heists as well as a rapid expansion in theassortment of coins on offer.

Fits well and the price is awesome!
I am 5'3", 128-lb and usually wear a US Size 6 petite. I ordered a Size S and it fits very well. It is a bit long even with high-heels but that is expected. I think I know why some people complain about the zipper. When the zipper reaches the part where the bustier begins, it is a much thicker material than the rest of the dress, the zipper is the "hidden" type so it is sewn very close to the fabric. With the thicker fabric of the bustier, it requires the dress to be held taut while zipping it up. In other words, yes, you will need someone to help you to zip up the dress. I ordered the "blush" color and it is the exact color I saw in other bridal stores so I am happy and relieved for that as this is the designated color for all the bridesmaids. The price of this dress can't be beat!
the skirt part smelled a little like pee, ummmmm also I may have
gorgeous dress, the skirt part smelled a little like pee, ummmmm also I may have to drop 10lbs before I try this back on, I will keep it cuz I know I will look fab In it.
Very nice fit and great stretch material
Very nice fit and great stretch material. Was very shape flattering.
Perfect and loose fitting.
This dress is beautiful. I thought it was going to be poor quality but I am very pleasantly surprised. The tag that had the materials was written in Chinese, so I can't say for certain what they are, but this feels very durable.The fit:This dress uses a similar lining to that of shower cap or panties for the chest area.I'm an an extra small so it's hard for me to pick things with generic sized such as S/M. It fits nicely, I just wish it was a little tighter. I'm sure this would fit a little better on a more average build of woman. I plan on getting a waist belt for just under the bust.The cleavage for the dress goes down quite a ways, so I suggest wearing a shirt under it.All in all it is a great dress, I'm wearing it right now and I love it.
Great dress, so pretty silk underlining
Great dress, so pretty silk underlining, Comfy to wear as well. Flatter figuring. Great choice if u buy it.

beautiful dress, great feeling fabric, but was to small, so I had to send it back
Body con dress for women with curves
Love this dress. Its the s***. If you got BODY
BEAUTIFUL DRESS!!!!! I am amazed at the price for this Gorgeous and Elegant dress! It's just as pictured. I purchased in 4 different colors!!! I'm 5'5.5 - I love the length! I weigh about 130. It falls very nicely; just as I'd hope it would! Looked very nice with my 5 inch heels. I agree with other customers regarding the slip though - it should be the same length as the dress. I put a black long slip under the very short slip that is attached. I thought it might be visible and therefore look tacky because the material appears very sheer. I was pleasantly surprised that the dress is not as sheer as it appears!!!! Other than the slip, which turned out to be an easy fix - I am thoroughly pleased!!! I received many, many compliments! lightingsome.com does it again!!

Some who are into BDSM/kink, swinging etc organize general meet ups (sometimes called munches) where you can find out more before you try anything. Looking out for yourself One of the ways no-strings relationships are presented to women be they bi, straight or lesbian is they are inherently dangerous.
When you meet someone be very clear what you would like to do, where your boundaries are and what is not ok.The resources listed above can help with this and reduce misunderstandings over what you want or who you will be intimate with.Not every encounter has to end in sex and all involved can change their mind at any time.If you are having sex with multiple partners it makes sense to think about safer sex and use condoms and dams (even if you are using other forms of contraception).I'm 23 and have just ended a six month relationship. I've just been promoted at work to a post where there's a lot of travel.All of this has made me realise I do want a physical relationship but with no strings. In order to help you think about what possibilities are open to you I've listed a number of questions for you to reflect on.
Not all will appeal, but hopefully this will give you a better idea about what you might try.
Thinking through what 'sex' means can help you identify what you do/don't want to experience. It could mean masturbation alone or with a partner. It could involve exploring fantasy/role play, fetish, BDSM, phone or text sex with someone else, writing a diary or blog, or filming/photographing yourself (which you may want to keep private or share).
You may want to explore same sex relationships either in fantasy or real life.
'No strings' is usually taken only to be about physical pleasure, but if you wanted there is no reason why such encounters can't also be about romance and companionship.
You will have your own limits when it comes to how connected you want to be. The following resources might help you define your ideal relationship while clearly conveying your wishes to others.
They focus on non-monogamies which may not suit you but still contain useful advice about negotiating boundaries and clear communication The Ethical Slut Opening Up Rewriting the Rules Exhibitionism for the shy You may want to visit chat forums, blogs, websites and groups with like-minded people.

Check out our latest broadcaster profile, Emilie Ikeda!
In July's client profile, we introduced Emilie Ikeda, a junior from American University! We spoke with Emilie, and this is what she had to say:
I am an aspiring news anchor with three passions since elementary school: broadcast journalism, dance, and field hockey. My primary goal of becoming a successful broadcast journalist is supported by my desire for dance and field hockey. I am currently a second-semester sophomore studying broadcast journalism and minoring in dance and political science at American University in Washington D.C.. My dream of becoming a news anchor has only intensified since my time at American University but started to take shape in elementary school.
Although at first glance my three passions may seem disconnected, my enthusiasm for broadcast journalism, dance, and field hockey are, in fact, synergistic. My love for communicating with and to people, whether in the television or dance studios and resolve learned from field hockey gives me the drive to persevere in the competitive field of journalism. I strive to be an anchor at a television station in a major market within five years after graduating. Through anchoring, I hope to serve millions of people as a trusted face, known for communicating vital information in a fair and balanced way to help promote positive change in the world.
I met Marc my senior year in high school; he visited as a guest speaker for our television program. Since then, Marc has helped me in a variety of ways. He's provided me encouragement, recommendation letters, extremely detailed and constructive critiques for various videos and demo reels, suggestions for my resume and cover letters, and advice on a long-term plan to help me reach my goal of becoming an anchor/reporter.
A quote I live by comes from Philippians 4:13-
"I can do all things through Him, who gives me strength."

- Product Description
DetailsHermitage Blanc, 2004, Jean Louis Chave
- Tasting Notes
Critics Score: 95
Publication: Robert Parker, Wine Advocate
Drinking Dates: 2007-2032
The 2004 Hermitage blanc, which hit 15% natural alcohol, is another superb effort, continuing a succession of totally profound white Hermitages from 2003, 2004, and 2005. As many readers know, this small family producer has been making wine in Hermitage since 1481! The 2004 (about 1000 cases) reveals a light gold color, terrific finesse and elegance in spite of its enormous power, unctuosity, and richness. Of course, it is not as honeyed as the otherworldly 2003 (which hit 16% natural alcohol) but it is an amazingly full-bodied, powerful wine with pervasive honeysuckle, peach liqueur, and nectarine notes intermixed with licorice, quince, and acacia flowers. This is gorgeous wine which should evolve for 20-25 years.

I am making you a kimono,
yellow as the ordinary things of the world
you do not know. There are dandelions
here, sunlight on the butter dish.
There is melting, and gold,
and cling peaches in juice.
You move now freer than I am:
naked and weightless, swimming.
I am making you clothes, though
they bother me: tags and edges,
buttons and zippers keeping me in.
They say this dress
will make things easy
when you're new. Open and fold,
snap, snap, you're ready—yellow
as a young duck, a phone book,
the creek after rain. The yellow
of canary and caution. Slow down.
The birth that waits for you is real
as a lemon or leaf, hard
as the soap on the sink ledge.
I am pressing out seams, wanting
to soften the blow. Picturing
rupture and light tearing in,
torrents of sound. The everyday walls
leaning toward you. So many things
I can't explain. Subtractive, starting
with light. Most visible color. The yellow
of Judas, yellow stars, yellowcake.
I am sewing so slowly.

Winner of the 2016 Janet B McCabe Poetry Prize
Bean Saving
The beanpods
like yellowed party favors
snap and spill into the bowl.
Tight seeds jingle on glass.
Outside, the garden black,
burlap tossed back from beds
as if from fevered sleep.
Rain comes down and rain
comes down. The beans
leave their pale circles
inside the husk, like the white
behind my wedding ring.
With our same hands that planted
we fill the jar for spring.
We tell each other again
about the trellised vines
how they climbed all seven rungs
and when they reached air
kept going, lacing together
like fingers, getting closer
to the sun. The dark
comes early, winter falling down
around us. In last year's snow
I thought I'd be spent
come October, broken open
and provident as earth.
I shake with it—this sensible
putting away,
these sketches
of next year's garden.

Giving ourselves a months holiday between teaching jobs we set out on a Euro trip so Andy could see some of Europe.
Those who live in Europe will know that flying can be very cheap…. If you don't have luggage so we bought ourselves some new hand luggage cases and set off from Edinburgh-Milan-Rome with bags only 50 x 40 x 22cm…. I.e. not a lot of stuff! It might seem crazy but taking away the hold luggage was going to save so much money between us on what will be 5 flight in 2.5 weeks.
We arrived in Rome on the Wednesday night and went out for dinner with Andy surprised that the pizza's had so little on them but were still delicious!
We woke up early on the Thursday and set of for a day of site-seeing around the city. Thanks to our hotel they explained that we should buy a ticket for the bus (which you had to buy in a shop before you got on the bus) but not to put it in the machine unless there was a conductor as once punched the ticket only lasts 100 minutes. We never saw the conductor for the whole 3 days which meant no travel costs other than the first 1.50 euro! Result!
We started off at the Colosseum, not so much of a tip than a well-known fact to get there early as by afternoon the queue was crazy! Last time I was in Rome we went here so we decided just to get one audio guide for Andy and share. Despite being here before I was still fascinated walking around and trying to comprehend just how they could build such a building without the fancy machinery they have these days!
Entry fee 12€
Audio guide 5.50€ (you must have ID so make sure you have some!)
Directly outside the Colosseum you can see the giant 'Arc Di Costantino' which is currently being restored.
We wandered up and away from the Colosseum past the Arco di Tito, a giant area of ruins until we came to the Monumento a Vittorio Emanuele II and the tomb of the unknown soldier which was just as giant and impressive as I remembered! It was free to get in so we walked in and walked though the army exhibition. You can also go up to the middle roof and get a bird's eye view of the city or pay 7€ to go right to the top.
We continued walking straight up in search for the Trevi Fountain which I remembered from last time was a nightmare to reach, but to my surprise we found it no problem (must be more signs!) It is funny as Andy got his picture taken last August in Busan (Korea) beside the replica of the fountain which is small in comparison even though the replica was quite big! We spent our time looking around and throwing in our coins while making wishes before we moved on.
We took a left and headed down the side streets until we came across the Pantheon, which was huge! Andy was taking all his references from the Di Vinci Code which apparently references this place. The scale of the buildings really does take your breath away!
We continued on up to the Piazza del Popolo a giant square filled with all sorts of street performers and just relaxed in the sun before walking down to the Spanish Steps.
By this time we were petty beat so decided on making our way home to clean up and head out for dinner. All in all it was a great if not tiring day!
Next stop The Vatican!

The macro-architecture for the application is modular in four main parts:
- Core/DCI : Main part of the application, containing the real application with domain components, roles and contexts defining all the functionality.
- Services : All non-application-specific services, such as infrastructure services and middleware interactors.
- Adapters : External adapters that let the application talk to different protocols using all possible HTTP communications, SOAP, HTML, REST, etc.
- Server runtime : An application container such as Tomcat, JBoss or Jetty providing all the required resource-handling and load-balancing required for web applications.
At the lowest level we have the macro-components described in a more detailed way, the part that is critical for the application are:
- Data: Domain specific data components that break down business specific concepts into domain data components, normally these are objects with clear and defined operations being populated with very characterized verbs and nouns.
- Roles: Behavioral components defining the actions of specific actors, separated by their actions-context in a separated way.
- Contexts: Scenarios in which the data, prepared by data acting with one or more roles in order to achieve a clear goal, and by goal we mean specific business functionality.
Folder structure
Inside the physical infrastructure of the project we have the following folder structure:

|In the primate dorsolateral prefrontal cortex (DLPFC),
the density of excitatory synapses decreases by 40-50 % during adolescence.
Although such substantial circuit refinement might underlie the adolescence-related
maturation of working memory performance, its functional significance remains
poorly understood. The consequences of synaptic pruning may depend on the
properties of the eliminated synapses. Are the synapses eliminated during
adolescence functionally immature, as is the case during early brain development?
Or do maturation-independent features tag synapses for pruning? We examined
the excitatory synaptic function in monkey DLPFC during postnatal development,
studying properties that reflect synapse maturation in rat cortex. In 3
month-old (early postnatal) monkeys, excitatory inputs to layer 3 pyramidal
neurons had immature properties, including higher release probability, lower
AMPA / NMDA ratio (see figure) and longer duration of NMDA-mediated synaptic
currents, associated with greater sensitivity to the NR2B subunit-selective
antagonist ifenprodil. In contrast, excitatory synaptic inputs in neurons
from pre-adolescent (15 month-old) and adult (42 or 84 month-old) monkeys
had similar functional properties. We therefore conclude that the contribution
of functionally immature synapses decreases significantly before adolescence
begins. Thus, remodeling of excitatory connectivity in the DLPFC during
adolescence may occur in the absence of widespread maturational changes
in synaptic strength.
Our results are relevant to current neurodevelopmental models of schizophrenia based in the observations that the efficacy of synaptic transmission is impaired in the illness. According to this model, the exuberant number of cortical synapses present prior to adolescence compensates for this synaptic dysfunction, and the pruning of these synapses during adolescence leads to the expression of the clinical consequences of the synaptic dysfunction. Our findings indicate that synaptic properties do not differ pre- and post-pruning, at least in the normal monkey DLPFC, suggesting that functionally mature pre-adolescent synapses might provide compensation via their excess number.
|Gonzalez-Burgos G, Kröner S, Zaitsev A, Povysheva N, Krimer L, Barrionuevo G, Lewis DA: Functional maturation of excitatory synapses in layer 3 pyramidal neurons during postnatal development of the primate prefrontal cortex. Cereb Cortex 18: 626-637, 2008.

"Strange Fruit" @ base of Billie Holiday statue #Baltimore
The ever present raven at Billie Holiday's feet #BillieHoliday #Baltimore
Love this! #Billie Holliday #Baltimore #nofilter
This is an experimental fiction story inspired by my being a Dave Chappelle fan. I experimented by taking the creation of an artist (Chappelle's Tyrone Biggums), a movie title (Hollywood Shuffle), a rapper's lyrics (J.Cole's "Love Yourz") and a piece of art, Emancipation by George Nock and weaving them together to tell one story about Chappelle. I used the art form of erasure (found poetry or art created by erasing an existing text) on J. Cole's lyrics.

Five Reasons To Use BridgeBox
"People Don't Do What You Expect But What You Inspect." ..Louis Gerstner, IBM
What gets measured gets done. BridgeBox Call Handling Analysis heralds a new dawn for business owners and directors intent on driving growth from increased business productivity as well as targeted marketing campaigns. For you BridgeBox call handling analysis is an essential tool to reveal hidden business opportunities.
Would you fly a plane, drive a car, ride a bike, shoot a gun or climb a mountain without looking directly in front of you, at what is happening right now, not just at where you're aiming? Of course not. Well, why are a lot of businesses run like that? Come down from that ivory tower, out of the office, from behind that desk and get on the frontline with BridgeBox to see what is really going on and support your teams to do better for your company. With no systems to set-up or training needed, we can parachute you in today so tomorrow you're leading from the front, not pushing from the back.
Increase the ROI from staff learning and development investments
Sending staff on training courses, away-days or improvement courses in itself does not always generate the desired goals. Training alone is not the way to improve the customer experience. What is more important is in the understanding of how your staff apply their training in real-life situations. How much of the training did they absorb, remember and feel motivated enough by to change their behavour. BridgeBox sales and customer service call analysis will tell you just that.
Increase sales from higher conversion and logging rates
Is your best sales person selling or simply not getting in the way of the sale? How engaged, understanding and involved are your sales team with each call they take? How prepared are they and trained? Are they helping to grow your company or just paying their mortgage? You need to know! Is it an information service or a sales hot line?
Enhance customer service and minimise service calls
How many service calls should you not even be getting? How can you know? We can tell you immediately and what to do about them. This improves customer satisfaction, reduces staff work load and bumps up your profitability.
Improve marketing results with improved metrics and insights
Most companies simply don't know how well their marketing performs. Without any changes to systems or processes we'll tell you. No blue sky, big picture, big sell, big ticket, the wholly grail of business, nirvana , running through fields of wheat in gay abandon needed. We'll just tell you with minimum fuss.
Engage your staff in helping to grow your business
Your business is your staff. People buy from people. Those processes don't write and run themselves. Your reputation is dependent on how well your teams know, like and do their jobs. And what is your biggest overhead? Today with social media, your staff are your customers. Rubbish to buy from and rubbish to work for will soon become one and the same. Consider BridgeBox call conversation analysis to help grow your business today.

Abstract: S1.00009 : Spiral Galaxy Model with Axial Plasma/Gas Vortex: A Possible Suggestion
Preview Abstract Abstract
C.F. Gallo
(Superconix Inc)
From the measured rotational velocity profiles of spiral galaxies, there appears a central ``core'' with zero central velocity that increases quickly with distance ($\sim $15{\%} of galactic radius) to large constant velocity. This data implies a large centrifugal hydrodynamic force suggesting the ``core'' is a central axial plasma/gas vortex with the following features. (1) MINIMUM central Pressure/Density of Plasma/Gas. (2) Axial Vortex which is manifested as the observed axial Galactic Jets? (3) MAXIMUM central light intensity due to high temperature of energetic central axial vortex? Extensions of the model follow. (1) Matter is sucked into the Galactic Center by the Central Axial Vortex, and that matter is expelled via the central axial galactic jets in dynamic equilibrium over long time scale? (2) No galactic black holes? This vortex model does not address many other important issues such as Dark Matter, galactic evolution, plasma effects, galactic stability, relativistic effects, spiral details, galactic clusters, etc.

The national campaign, which started on 6th April, pulled in information from Google traffic data to then display the exact live drive time from the relevant screen's location, to four family-friendly locations. For example, M-Vision screens in Intu Watford may display a drive time of 2 hours 50 minutes to get to a beautiful forest location, whereas Eldon Square in Newcastle might display a time of 4 hours 50 minutes to the same location.
Flo Horwich, Client Manager at Talon Outdoor, said: "This is Škoda's biggest Out-of-Home launch for a number of years. We used a variety of traditional and Digital Out-of-Home formats to drive fame and awareness of the new Škoda Kodaiq model. Whilst delivering a national presence was key, we wanted to ensure that the messaging was contextually relevant to each and every consumer as they engaged with the campaign.
"Working with our partners PHD, Fallon, Grand Visual and JCDecaux we were able to display up to the minute journey times across every digital out of home site to a selection family friendly locations."
Planned and booked by Talon, PHD, Fallon and Grand Visual, the dynamic element of the campaign was displayed on JCDecaux's M-Vision network, with supporting creative on roadside and HD 96s throughout April.
YouGov data shows that JCDecaux mall shoppers are +33% more likely to be interested in purchasing a family car for their next car than all adults. For more insight, please contact your JCDecaux rep.

NWDA puts the spotlight on the economic potential of the creative industries
Creative industries generate around 6pc of the North West's Gross Domestic Product and is seen as a big earner in the future for areas such as Liverpool. Helping to develop the North West business environment whilst attracting media businesses and 21st century creative entrepreneurs to the region is the task given to Andy Lovatt.
He is the Northwest Development Agency's first Head of Creative Industries, a post created after a consultants' report revealed that the sector was an underdeveloped reservoir of opportunity and wealth creation.
Liverpool has already become a hot spot for the film industry, with electronic games producers, web designers and hi-tech business converging around a vibrant new economy.
Some have been started by graduates from Liverpool University and Liverpool John Moores University, using the skills learned locally to boost the local economy.
The city has become one of the country's favourite film sets, with streets used as a backdrop for a number of major full-length feature films.
It all adds up to a good start, but there is many more opportunities to be tapped, says Andy Lovatt.
"My brief covers everything from media, television, design, visual arts and digital content. The NWDA commissioned consultants Burns Owens Partnership to look at the need for a creative industries strategy.
"Their report identified the importance of the sector to the North West economy, highlighting the fact that the creative sector is growing at twice the rate of the mainstream sectors.
"The NWDA decided that Creative Industries should stand alongside, and be treated in the same way, as all of the major industrial sectors.
"The creative industries are part of a new 'knowledge economy' that is going to be a major growth area for western economies over the next few years.
"It is estimated that 145,000 people in the North West work in creative industries, so the potential for even more expansion shows it will be a generator of new jobs.
"There is scope for a growth of 5pc or 6pc a year which means that around 800 or 900 new jobs could be generated every year; many of these in Liverpool.
"The NWDA owns the Marconi site at Edge Lane. Liverpool Digital is earmarked as a hub for digital content and technology companies. Over time this has the potential to attract national and international companies to a unique facility.
"Liverpool's Capital of Culture title will help enormously. It will put the city into the international spotlight and provide a fantastic showcase for the region's creative talent.
"Despite the successes that the region has enjoyed it is recognised that the creative industries are still underperforming. Our task is to identify opportunities and to improve the environment for the industries to grow the market together with local companies and to attract others to the region.
"The Capital of Culture title is the perfect peg on which a lot of our initiatives can be hung. It will give Liverpool the confidence to compete on the world stage.
"People like Colin McKeown and Alex Cox together with Liverpool Film Office and North West Vision have worked hard to expand the area's film industry. We need to get more ambitious and begin to attract complete productions to the city. What would help is a successful blockbuster, filmed in Liverpool and made by local film industry workers. The film industry in the UK is an underfunded yet valuable sector; the private sector needs to take more risks and Liverpool will reap the benefits.
"The creative industries have the potential to create thousands of jobs over the coming years and we want to make sure that as many as possible are created in Merseyside and the North West."

Hmm, very odd - taking out connection.Stop() and connection.Close() still doesn't fix it for me. Also connection.Dispose() just calls Close() anyway, so I'm not sure why that fixed it for you either... Dris wrote: > > Not really.

We have entered the "most wonderful time of the year." Decorations and lights are on display, Christmas carols are playing, and there is an overall sense of holiday cheer. For many of us, though, the season is overwhelming and the expectations of the holiday season lead to increased anxiety and depression. The challenges of the holiday are often felt more acutely by family caregivers and older adults who are experiencing limited mobility, limited finances and limited energy.
The holidays are a time of reflection that magnifies the loss of loved ones and may trigger a longing for the past. Physical and emotional changes as well as financial constraints impact the ability to celebrate the holidays as you would like. Seasonal affective disorder (SAD), a mood disorder caused by the reduction of natural sunlight during the winter, can compound feelings of depression. Despite these real challenges there are strategies to beat the holiday blues and get into the holiday spirit.
- Acknowledge how you feel and talk about it. It is ok to feel sad.
- Be realistic about what you can and cannot do.
- Get out of the house to avoid isolation and to get some sunlight.
- Stick to a healthy diet and exercise regularly.
- Volunteer. Helping others is a wonderful antidote to loneliness and sadness.
- Pace yourself and build in down time.
- Try not to set yourself up for sadness by comparing this year's holidays to past celebrations.
- Try something new and create new traditions that accommodate changes in family structure, health, mobility or finances.
- Limit alcohol consumption. Alcohol is actually a depressant.
If you are hosting an older relative for the holidays remember these tips:
- Arrange transportation if necessary.
- If it's a White Christmas, make sure walkways are clear of snow and ice.
- Let everyone help with set up and clean up. It will make it easier for you and will make your guests feel like they are contributing.
- Encourage older guests to share their feelings and stories and really listen to them.
Having a mood disorder, experiencing depression during the rest of the year, and a lack of social support are risk factors for depression at holiday time. If you or someone you know is suffering from symptoms of depression – loss of sleep, changes in weight and appetite, feelings of worthlessness or guilt, fatigue, thoughts of suicide – it is time to consult a medical or mental-health professional.
For those suffering from seasonal sadness, remember that the season will pass. Try some of the above suggestions and try to live in the moment, appreciating what you do have. An attitude of gratitude reflects the message of the holidays and can go a long way in beating blues.

Arts Ambassadors will play an active role in the development of arts in the town by informing people of what's going on in Warrington through word of mouth, social networking and any other tricks up their sleeves to shout about events and exhibitions held at Warrington's premier arts and entertainment centres. The role offers the chance to gain new skills in an arts environment and get advanced information about forthcoming shows, plus hands on opportunities such as greeting people at shows and events and helping to discover what type of entertainment Warrington residents would like to see in the future. The Culture Warrington team want your views on what you'd like to see happening at your local arts venues and ideas of what shows you want to see in the programme.
There are great incentives as an Arts Ambassador including holding interviews, writing reviews, watching rehearsals or being mentored and the regular catch ups offer the chance to socialise and network with fellow arts enthusiasts by attending monthly meetings at venues across the cultural quarter.
