Dig It! Great Swiss landscape architects
Swiss landscape architecture is alive and kicking, and in this first part of a new series profiling the best Swiss landscape architects, we meet Gilbert Henchoz, a major contributor to both public and private work in Geneva and further afield
Gilbert Henchoz founded the firm 22 years ago, and Gilbert Henchoz Landscape Architects is now one of the largest in Switzerland, with three offices—in Geneva, Lausanne and Archamps in France.
Dig It! Greening urban space in Geneva
The Gilbert Henchoz team of landscape architects worked for five years to realise the greening of an urban space in Plan-les-Ouates in Geneva. Hester Macdonald tells us how they did it in part two of a new series profiling the best Swiss landscape architects. We hear from Franck Bodenmann and François Perret from Gilbert Henchoz, as well as Rachel Melville-Thomas, who is a Plan-les-Ouates resident
Next week Hester is talking about hedges—which varieties to plant where. The following week she is looking at green windproof screens for balconies and terraces—hedges by any other name!
Dig It! Garden near Geneva links nature with modern architecture
Hester Macdonald visits a "secret garden" surrounding a home on the outskirts of Geneva, in Onex. The house stands apart from the community's more traditional buildings due to its basic geometric shapes — square, round and triangular. The challenge for the garden designer Franck Bodenmann, of the Henchoz firm, was to make the landscaping practical while respecting the modern look of the house. Also, because of his passion for cinema, the owner wanted to have a "film wall," an unusual fence which looks like a strip of film around the garden
The garden includes plantings of acer palmatum (Japanese maple), hostas, buxus sempervirens (box) and ornamental grasses, such as stipa tenuissima (fountain grass) and lots of thick bamboo, phyllostachys aurea.
The kitchen garden includes parsley, mint, thyme and basil. It is not possible to visit the garden, but we hope you enjoy the photographs and drawings.
Dig It! Visiting the Jardins en Fête
Hester Macdonald visits the "Chelsea sur Leman," the Jardins en Fête, at the beautiful Château de Coppet near the Lake of Geneva. She talks to organiser Viviane Cagneux, Wolfgang Eberts, who is showing a beautiful new Cornus— called Cornus "Venus," David Harber, Franck Bodenmann from Gilbert Henchoz design and Pascal Olivier. He designed a show garden for Laurent Perrier champagne:

Passion √
Enthusiasm √
Honesty √
Creative √
My next interview exhibits all of the traits checked above, a poet so focused on his craft -- many a time he speaks his mind and can at times be quite controversial. This writer is so intent on changing the world of poetry one poem at a time. Of course, I speak of prolific writer Ottis Blades (Blad3s).
I've not read either: Hate Me Like Lovers Do or Of Love & Other Dirty Business but, judging by Ottis' writing I would love both of them -- they are on my list of books to purchase.
RMMW: As an indie writer what tools do you find essential to be able to properly market yourself?
OB: As an indie writer, you have to take advantage of everything that's out there at your disposal. Be it Social Media, going down to your local poetry spot to read a piece of two, submitting to literary mags, this very forum in which this interview is taking place on. You gotta be fearless, you gotta be genuine and speak your mind. People dig that shit. Get out there and let the writing speak for itself.
RMMW: What was the first thing you've ever written?
OB: My books of Neruda and Garcia Marquez inspired me to write poems about my 7th grade crush. I don't recall what was the first thing I wrote because the notes back then where not something I took seriously until later in life. I wish I had those poems now.
RMMW: What do you think about the current state of modern poetry on a whole?
OB: I wouldn't call it poetry. It's actually insulting to what poetry's supposed to be about. There's no metric, no rhyme or reason, no poetic inclination. These writers are not challenging themselves and that's a real shame because they reach so many people they could influence to actually fucking read more than three sentences. But they'd take the easy way out with the cliches we're all familiar with. You know them. "She, chaos, madness, moons, stars, demons, whiskey" etc and not an ounce of creativity to spare, because they have no love for poetry or writing in general, and this is why I have no qualms about speaking my mind on the subject and calling them out. Give me an hour and I'll write you a 500 page book full of the "poetry" people are reading today and have a best seller. It's that easy.
RMMW: There's been a lot of plagiarism going on lately, has your work ever been plagiarized? How did you deal with it?
OB: No, never. But this one time some dude reposted a few of my pieces on Instagram and cut off my name. I'm too hard to plagiarize anyways. And that's the one thing we should all strive for, to have a voice so unique and powerful, that it'd leave no doubt as to who the writer is, even when uncredited.
RMMW: Do you have any artist rituals before beginning a new piece?
OB: I hate to sound like the cliche writer, but good fucking music, heartache and plenty of booze do the trick.
RMMW: Which writers inspire your muse?
OB: The music that I listen to when I'm writing needs to be lyrically sound to get me going. I'd often hear a word or a phrase that would take me back to a point in my life and give birth to a million words in an instant. Also, fellow writers also inspired me, people that I love and admire, people like: Christy Aldridge, Christopher Andrews, Anthony Desmond, Patricia Mogavero, Thom Young and Christina Hart. Reading them gets my juices flowing.
RMMW: How do you find social media has shaped how you share your work?
OB: It's interesting, how because of Instagram I became obsessed with fitting as much story as I could into a small square. I developed a stream of consciousness style because of it, and that's a bad habit I can't break. I like referring to my pieces as "miniature short stories". I'm not really concerned with writing less words to get more eyeballs on my stuff. I write for me, period. The people that can relate will gravitate and find me, and those are the people meant for me to reach. And I love them so much, every time I get a book selfie from halfway across the world, I'm infinitely thankful.
RMMW: Have you ever been creatively blocked? If yes, what do you do to get those creative juices flowing?
OB: When I'm creatively blocked I'm very, very upset. Because it feels love like a part of who I am is missing. The way I get myself going is not thinking about it, to not even try. Nothing ever good comes out if you force it. Now, what you do is stimulate the mind, go for a drive, watch a movie, read a book. It'll come back when you least expect it, better than ever, and you'll be glad you didn't go crazy.
RMMW: We all have to contend with our inner critics constantly judging us, how do you contend with yours?
OB: I'm actually not too hard on myself when it comes to writing, because if I'm writing, trust me that I'm having fun. This is why I wait and don't pressure myself. I'm always in a good mood when the juices are flowing even if my world's falling apart, I'm my biggest fan, and that's how I live.
RMMW: If you had a super power what would it be?
OB: I'd love to understand, speak and write every language on the planet. Not only will I be able to reach more people through words and help those in need, but I'd also get twice as many numbers on the dating scene. And you can't possibly beat that. Unless, you write them a She poem.

Research Interests
I am broadly interested in the relationships between literature, memory, subjectivity and community, particularly as they pertain to the fields of postcolonial studies and critical theory. I began my career focusing on the problems involved in memorialising the traumatic histories of racial oppression that continue to haunt our postcolonial era. These problems are the central concern of my first monograph Postcolonial Narrative and the Work of Mourning: J.M Coetzee, Wilson Harris and Toni Morrison (State University of New York Press, 2004). Since then, I have continued to work on memory and trauma in postcolonial contexts. Following a research fellowship in Brussels, I co-edited The Future of Trauma Theory: Contemporary Literary and Cultural Criticism (Routledge 2014), together with Gert Beulens and Robert Eaglestone.
My interest in trauma has also taken in more practical/activist directions. In 2010 I set up a bibliotherapy group for refugees in conjunction with SOLACE, a local NGO. I published an article on our practice, entitled Reading Asylum, in Moving Worlds (12.2 2012). I now coordinate three groups across Leeds, led by doctoral students from the School of English. More details can be found at https://bibliotherapyhubleeds.wordpress.com/ .This project formed an Impact Case Study in REF 2014.
I am currently working on two major research projects. On the one hand, I am co-editing a large inter-disciplinary volume of essays on Refugee Studies: Contemporary Research Across the Humanities for EUP, together with Emma Cox, David Farrier, Lyndsey Stonebridge and Agnes Woolley. On the other, I am working on a monograph provisionally entitled Re-inheriting the World: Animism, Mimesis and Contemporary African literature, which looks at the ways in which literature functions as a surrogate mode of ancestralisation in the wake of postcolonial modernity's drive to abolish such ties. This project draws on rereadings of mimesis not as a representation of the world but as a rite of identification with the world, first theorised by Walter Benjamin and Theodor Adorno and subsequently taken up by anthropologists such as Michael Taussig. Related to this project is a journal special issue I am co-editing on 'Animism in a Planetary Frame' together with Philip Dickinson.
I have published articles on a variety of postcolonial writers but have written most extensively on the work of J.M. Coetzee.
My doctoral students tend to be equally interested in both literature and critical theory. Recent theses have focused on Michael Ondaatje and deconstruction; queer modes of belonging in postcolonial literature; cynical cosmopolitanism in Borges, Beckett and Coetzee; trauma and animism in African literature. Current doctoral students are working on
- ' The Creaturely Novel: Sebald, Coetzee and Devi
- Alienated cosmopolitans: Human rights, biopolitics and literary form in the contemporary African novel
- Beyond apologias: Professing the aesthetic in the era of the modern university
- 'Community as Philosophy in African Literature'
I welcome proposals in any area that combines postcolonial literature and critical theory in imaginative ways.

Conveyor belts are alluded to as belt transports and it includes unlimited circles of a material that are principally used to transport objects starting with one area then onto the next.
They are exceptionally and effective tools which make them usable in almost all businesses that require material taking care of, and they are built in a flexible mode.
Conveyor belts are made of PVC or comparable materials generally used for their flexibility, and they are slightest exorbitant. Items are passed on the belt so even unpredictable molded bundles, whatever the size and weight, are viably transported. These are utilized to transport items in a straight line or unpredictable rises.
Picking the right conveyor belt for your item is a standout amongst the most critical and frequently over-looked points of interest in the determination of a conveyor.

- Environmental factor
Types of conveyor belts.
There are three types of conveyor belts
Wire Conveyor Belts
Wire conveyor belts are more unbending than the PVC and Rubber conveyor belt. The pro about this conveyor is that, it can be utilized as a part of various utilizations of which PVC and rubber can't.
Conveyor belts are fashioned for the mining division whereby they might be not so much malleable but rather harder to install and manage, however they can perform while conveying inconceivably substantial loads.
Rubber Conveyor Belts
Rubber conveyor belts are utilized as a part of both the mining and in addition mechanical applications. It is less expensive when compared to the PVC conveyor belt.
PVC Conveyor Belts
PVC conveyor belts are utilized as a part of the mining segment to transport totals, materials, and fines from the mine to the mine. PVC is utilized both as a part of underground or more ground applications and is known for its anti-destructive properties.
Choosing the right conveyor belt is critical to guarantee it acts as imagined.Categories: Uncategorized

Buyers Guide
"Type, Impression, Suitability & Size"
When searching for a commercial property to buy, you should aim to meet your current and foreseeable business needs. Searching for the ideal property can be undertaken by yourself or by an agent appointed to represent you. Once you have identified the property of your choice, an agent can carry out both tasks for you. There will be a fee should you appoint an agent to assist in the acquisition but this could be money well spent if you are not experienced in acquiring commercial property.
There are a number of factors that should be clarified before choosing a property, such as:
• What type of commercial property is required
• What impression does the commercial property give to the company's clients, customers, suppliers and potential staff?
• What facilities are required; do you require at least two bathrooms for both male, female staff and visitors?
• How much space is required for each business activity? For example, if you are looking to buy an office, it is important to consider the number of desks you will need and the space required to accommodate them
• Is the floor loading suitable for the machinery you propose to use?
• Whether the commercial property will be suitable to work in. For example, is it multi-level and does a lift serve all floors?
• There are a number of ways to find your ideal commercial property:
• Research Estate agents' For Sale' signboards outside the commercial properties
• Browse Commercial Estate Agents
• Appoint a Commercial Surveyor to represent you
• Professional advice can be provided from a commercial property solicitor or a commercial property surveyor, in order to determine whether the commercial property will suit your business needs.

Goodness me ... June already ... the halfway point of our quilting year. And despite the foggy morning we still managed to rustle up sufficient ladies to achieve a goodly days work at the Barn. And by midday the sun had emerged and bathed our workspace and surrounds with glorious sunshine.
Present and accounted for were Sinling, Val R, Yvonne, Sandi, Jenny, Christine, Pauline, Val S, Win, Jan, Gaynor, Isobel ... and yours truly.
Since we gathered last month the postman had delivered a large blessing of quilt tops from the awesome ladies at the Grainshed Church in Swan Hill. Its always exciting unpacking a donation and this one certainly didn't disappoint. What wonderful work they had gifted to us .... thank you so very much :)
Three lovely 'fleecy' fabric completed cot quilts ... so snuggly warm
And some awesome single bed size quilt tops accompanied these fleecies. I particularly loved that each of the nine quilt tops were different, reflecting the individual styles of the ladies who created them
Then we had a spot of 'Show and Tell' from our Sandi .... who has a great eye for colour and piecing ...
Now, before I add more photos of our day, a farewell to one of our longtime stitchers Jan, who is making a 'seachange' and thus leaves us. Jan has been the absolute 'queen' of intricate tiny patchwork piecing quilt tops and we will miss her very much. I trust that we will see her should she find herself nearby ... she will always be assured of a warm welcome. Thank you for all that you have contributed to QFO Jan ... and we wish you happy days ahead.
Win, Yvonne and Val all busy ......
Gaynor and Sandi .... ready to measure, slice and dice ....
Sinling ... hand stitching bindings ...
Christine and Val ... finding bindings ...
Isobel dropped by .... and chatted to Pauline.
The work focus of the day was 'bindings' ... machine sewing, then hand finishing.
And we had a visitor, young Jo and her daughter called in to see what QFO was all about, hopefully we will see them again :)
And that just about wound up our June gathering. But before I close I will share news of our latest project. We have been asked (and were only too happy to oblige) to provide flannel fabric for the Matombo Village Project. The flannel will be used to create toiletry products and bags for Tanzania. We have also been asked to make a quilt for a birthing bed, 60 quilts for their dormitory and two quilts for the Sisters who look after the dormitory residents. How very exciting. I have a Link for this Project. You can find it at vimeo.com/217129149 I look forward to sharing photos when we receive them ... as always, its an absolute privilege to be able to serve projects across the globe. There is no better feeling than to be able to make a difference in lives so very far away from our Barn.
And on that note I will finish this months Blogpost, leaving you .. as always .. with contact numbers and the Links to those we are connected with. We meet again on July 8th, with our lunch 'Theme' being 'Christmas in July'. Don't forget to visit our web page, the more visitors it receives, the higher its 'profile' on good old Google, and the more 'traffic' it generates for QFO. Thank you all for your support and encouragement, it truly is appreciated.
And for those of you on 'Social Media' .. a small video clip was created at this months quilting day at the Barn and may be viewed on our Facebook page. Enjoy ;)
Blessings to all,

Chapter 1
The Race Is On
Don't vote for Nancy Drew," Jason Hutchings chanted during recess. "She smells like a dirty old shoe."
Jason and his best friend, Mike Minelli, cracked up laughing.
It was Monday. Mrs. Reynolds's third-grade class was getting ready to hold an election for class president. After recess they would nominate candidates. Then they would vote on Friday .
"Well, I think Nancy would make a great president," Molly Angelo said.
"So do I," Jenny March added.
"No way! " Mike pinched his nose with his fingers. The two boys ran away yelling, "Peeuw, Nancy Drew! Peeuw, Nancy Drew! "
"You creeps!" Nancy shouted to them.
Molly shook her head. "They're mean."
Eight-year-old Nancy Drew pushed her long reddish blond hair behind her shoulder and nodded.
"It's okay, Molly," Nancy said. "I don't want to be president anyway. Bess and George already asked me."
"Oh, come on, Nancy," Jenny said. "I'll nominate you. It will be neat to have a detective for class president."
"But the president has lots to do. Like helping with Fall Festival and class trips," Nancy said. "I already take ballet lessons and play soccer. I wouldn't have time to be president."
"Hey, Nancy, guess what?" Bess Marvin called from across the school yard. Bess was one of Nancy's best friends. Nancy went to join her.
"I'm going to nominate Jessie Shapiro for president. You'll help get her elected, won't you?"
Before Nancy could answer, George Fayne came over to them. George's real name was Georgia. Nobody called her that, though. She was Nancy's other best friend.
George and Bess were cousins. But they rarely agreed on anything. They didn't look alike either. Bess had long blond hair, and George had short, curly dark hair.
"I just asked Vicki Wolf if she wanted to be class president," George said. "And she said yes. Isn't that great?"
"What's so great about that?" Bess asked. "Vicki just joined the soccer team. She's on the town softball team, too. Isn't that enough?"
"That's the point," George told her. "Vicki's a great athlete. If she gets elected, she'll do a lot for sports, especially for the soccer team. "
George and Nancy both played on the third-grade soccer team — the Tigers. Bess didn't.
"Well, if Jessie's elected," Bess said, "she'll do things for everybody, not just for soccer players. And you should have talked to us before you asked Vicki to run. We're your friends, aren't we?"
George looked surprised. "Of course, Bess. You guys are my best friends. But I still want Vicki to be president."
George turned to Nancy. "I'm. going to ask all the Tigers in our class to vote for Vicki. How about it, Nancy?"
Bess put her hand on Nancy's arm. "You'll vote for Jessie, won't you? Remember, I asked you first."
Nancy didn't know what to do. She liked both Vicki and Jessie. And George and Bess were both her best friends. Whatever she did, somebody's feelings might be hurt.
"Jessie has some super ideas," Bess added. "Like a class trip to Water World. Her dad knows the man who runs it."
"That sounds like fun, " Nancy said. "And Bess did ask me first. I guess I'll be on Jessie's side."
"Well, if that's the way you feel " George said. She turned and walked away.
Bess watched her go. "I hope George isn't mad," she said.
"She'll be okay," Nancy told her. Just then a soccer ball came bouncing across the pavement. It hit Bess in the arm.
"Ow!" Bess shouted. "That hurt!"
Chapter 1
Nancy looked around. Vicki was standing nearby with her best friend, Lizzie Artello . George was with them now. All three of them were giggling.
"Sorry, Bess," Vicki called out. Bess tossed the ball to them. "I can't believe they hit me," she said to Nancy. "That was really mean. And George thought it was funny."
Bess was right, Nancy thought. If they hit Bess on purpose, that was mean. After recess all the kids returned to the classroom and took their seats. Mrs. Reynolds stood in the front of the room.
Mrs. Reynolds used to be called Ms. Spencer. When she got married, she changed her name to Mrs. Reynolds.
"It's time for nominations, " Mrs . Reynolds said. "If there's someone you think should be class president, raise your hand and tell us who it is. Then someone else needs to second the nomination. May I see hands?"
Bess, George, Lizzie, and Jason all raised their hands. Mrs. Reynolds called on Lizzie first.
"I nominate Vicki Wolf," Lizzie said loudly.
"Does anyone second that nomination?" Mrs. Reynolds asked.
George turned and glanced at Bess. Then George raised her hand. "I second it."
Next, Bess nominated Jessie. Nancy raised her hand and said, "Me, too."
Then Jason spoke in a deep voice like a television announcer. "The one, the only, Mike Minelli!"
Everyone laughed. They all knew that Jason and Mike were best friends.
Peter DeSands jumped up. "I second Mike," he said loudly. "Not only that, I third and fourth him, too!"
"Thank you, Peter." Mrs. Reynolds grinned. "Our three candidates are Jessie. Vicki, and Mike."
Everybody clapped.
"Now we're going to spend some time working on the stories you've been writing," Mrs. Reynolds continued. "The three candidates may work on their campaign speeches. We'll all get to hear the speeches on Thursday."
Nancy opened her English notebook. She had already finished a story about three friends who lived on the beach. Now she decided to write a story about her puppy, Chocolate Chip. Chip was a chocolate-colored Labrador retriever. At the top of the page Nancy wrote, "Chip and the Missing Bone." Then she drew two lines under the words.
What next? Nancy tried to think. It was always hard to start a story. She sat back and looked around the room.
Mike was chewing on his pen, and Jenny was staring at the chalkboard. Two rows ahead, Vicki was writing on index cards. She put them in a stack near the edge of her desk.
Bess got up from her seat and walked toward the dictionary stand next to Mrs. Reynolds's desk. As she passed Vicki's desk, she bumped against it. Vicki's stack of cards tumbled off the desktop and scattered across the floor.
"My speech!" Vicki screamed.
"You did that on purpose, Bess Marvin," an angry voice said.
Nancy looked over her shoulder. Lizzie and Brenda Carlton had gotten up from their desks. They were standing behind Nancy. Brenda was writing in her red reporter's notebook.
Brenda wrote her own newspaper. It was called the Carlton News. She printed it on her father's computer. What Brenda liked most were stories that made other kids look bad.
George jumped up from her seat to look at the mess next to Vicki's desk.
Bess looked at George. But George didn't say anything.
"It was an accident," Bess said. Her voice almost cracked. "I didn't do it on purpose."
"You did, too," Lizzie said. Then she turned to Brenda. "Bess is trying to make Vicki lose," she said. "I know it!"

|This afternoon I was out checking my fragrant hostas for "degree of fragrance", at least according to my sense of smell! The fragrant ones are in full bloom right now while most others are finished. I noticed 'Irish Eyes' is in full bloom and with very beautiful flowers. So I took a sniff and to my amazement the flowers are fragrant! If anyone in this forum grows 'Irish Eyes' and your plant is in bloom, would you take a sniff tomorrow and report if you find it to be fragrant? It is not on any of the lists of fragrant hostas, and its parentage (Beatrice x Reginald Kaye) does not indicate any plantagenia background.
Hosta 'Irish Eyes'
Posted by alwaysbehindMN
I specifically collect fragrant hostas and I always check the Hosta Registration booklet every year for new fragrant hostas and also for any that have a fragrant parent even if the registrant does not mention flower fragrance. And I buy any I can find that have a fragrant parent so I can check them for myself ... a number of them, e.g. 'Red Stepper', have turned out to be fragrant!
Comparing Irish Eyes to others, it is less fragrant than 'Summer Fragrance', 'Sugar and Cream', 'So Sweet' and 'Guacamole'. It is more fragrant than 'Flower Power' and about the same as 'Invincible'. These are just some hostas growing near 'Irish Eyes' and not back in my fragrant hosta glade, some that I have planted in several locations.

Unlike traditional British end-of-year celebrations, where the food plays second fiddle to a festive booze-up, the Chinese celebrate in a different fashion. In communities all round the world the Chinese mark their new year with two weeks of celebrations, in which everybody visits family and friends and they share meals together. Most celebrate with a big banquet that consists of 10-15 courses and delicacies that you wouldn't find in your average Chinese restaurant.

As each course is served, the host respectfully offers the choice pieces to the honoured guest or the eldest, and the fish course is traditionally served last so that some will remain on the table to see the new year in.

You can join in the celebrations by having a dim-sum lunch in your nearest Chinatown, or cook up a feast for your friends with the recipes below….

Should I apply for an interest only loan?
Interest only loans may be ideal for covering a short term situation or for an investment property. For example, you may be buying a new home before selling your existing property or need to do some renovations.
Interest only loans keep your repayments as low as possible. But, because you aren't paying any of the principal (the money you borrowed) the total interest you end up paying will be higher than if you were paying off the principal as well.
Bear in mind too, because each of your regular payments only covers the interest owing on the principal, you will pay the full amount owing in one final payment at the end of the term.
There may be tax implications with an investment property and the best outcome for you will depend on your individual circumstances. So it's best you seek advice from your accountant or tax advisor to decide if an interest only loan works in your favour.
See our home loan options for this and other types of home loans.

Strings transliteration in Java with Apache Commons Lang
kinow @ Aug 09, 2014 12:49:33Tweet
Rosalind is a website with a curated set of exercices for bioinformatics, organized hierarchily. In some of these examples you are required to replace characters (nucleotides) by other characters. It is a rather common task for developers, like when you need to replace special characters in user's names.
There are different ways of describing it, such as translate, replace, or transliterate. The latter being my favorite definition.
In Python I know that there are several different ways of transliterating strings [1][2]. But in Java I always ended up using a Map or a Enum and writing my own method in some Util class for that.
Turns out that Apache Commons Lang, which I use in most of my projects, provided this feature. What means that I will be able to reduce the length of my code, what also means less code to be tested (and one less place to look for bugs).
String s = StringUtils.replaceChars("ATGCATGC", "GTCA", "CAGT"); // "TACGTACG"
What the code above does, is replace G by C, T by A, C by G and A by T. This process is part of finding the DNA reverse complement. But you can also use this for replacing special characters, spaces by _, and so it goes.
Happy hacking!
Bioinformatics tools: Stacks
kinow @ Sep 25, 2012 16:08:03Tweet
It is the first post about bioinformatics tools, but I will try to post more about other tools such as MrBayes, Structure, maybe some next generation sequencing tools too, and Bioperl, Biojava, and so on.
As I am more a computer geek, rather than a bioinformatics one, I will focus on requirements for running these tools on clusters and the requirements to install them on your machine. The instructions require that you have an intermediary knowledge on *nix OS and sometimes a bit of programming experience.
I will be using tutorials available on the Internet and hosting my code in GitHub/kinow. Hammer time!

RCUK revealed Giant's 2009 bikes a while ago, with the top-end TCR Advanced bikes getting some rather significant changes, including all-new frames with beefed up carbon, tapered head tubes and BB bearings press-fitting directly into the frame.
It's all very light, stiff and racy. However, when designing those the new TRC range Giant decided to pen some drawings for its performance-orientated bikes. Called Defy, the new bikes borrow much of the DNA seen in the TCR frames but watered down into a package aimed at those seeking a fast but more comfortable ride.
The Defy is split into three distinct series, and will include the Defy Advanced (carbon), Defy Alliance (carbon/aluminium) and Defy (aluminium) framesets to cover a variety of price points. The main difference to be aware of is the slightly longer chainstays, extra tyre clearance and taller headtube, which should find favour for sportive riders. The top-end Defy Advanced interestingly uses the same tapered headtube as the TCR as well as the same press-fit bottom bracket affair, with similarly beefed up tubes.
"With Defy, Giant designers and engineers have created a lighter, stiffer and more comfortable everyday bike for riders who want it all in one package," said Dennis Lane, Giant Global Product Development Director. "Defy is designed to exceed the expectations of both devoted club riders and die-hard road racers alike."

A private equity firm has reportedly proposed to buy Atlantic City's shuttered Revel casino for the amount of $220 million. The Press of Atlantic City reported on Wednesday that Digital Launch has been representing the unnamed firm from New York City.
Alex Fredericks, Operations Director at Digital Launch, told local media that the offer was lodged in the past 10 days. According to its official website, Digital Launch is a New York City-based marketing firm that represents brands by deploying innovative campaigns.
When asked whether he has received an offer for the property, current owner Glenn Straub told local media that he was not aware of such proposal. The Florida real estate developer bought the former Revel casino back in 2015 for the total amount of $82 million, or just a minuscule portion of its original $2.4-billion price tag.
The Atlantic City Boardwalk resort was launched in 2012, but continued unprofitability shut it after two years. Revel became one of the five Atlantic City casinos to have closed their doors between 2014 and 2016.
Since buying the property, Mr. Straub has announced several deadlines for its reopening, but missed them all, the last one being in mid-June. A ruling by the New Jersey Casino Control Commission has been among the main setbacks to have prevented the former Revel complex from swinging its doors open for customers.
The state's casino regulator has required from Mr. Straub that he obtained a casino license for the gaming section of the property. However, the real estate developer has repeatedly refused to apply for such a license, arguing that he did not need one as he would lease the casino floor to a third-party operator.
Mr. Straub has appealed the Casino Control Commission's ruling and is now waiting for a final decision. Under previous plans, the shuttered casino resort would have been reopened without a casino section. It was later on decided that the gambling floor would be an important part of its operations.
Multiple reports about Revel's (now rebranded as TEN) potential sale have been surfacing over the past several months. Mr. Straub has told media that although they were not planning to sell the property for the time being, a good price may change their mind.
Support for Revel's potential sale has grown significantly due to the Florida businessman's continued failure to reopen it. Atlantic City Mayor Don Guardian revealed in June that several investors have expressed interest in purchasing the property. Gov. Chris Christie has also been among the officials to have called for a sale, saying that Mr. Straub has apparently failed to deliver on his plans and promises.

Dancer Twerks In Front Of Kate Middleton & Prince William: Watch
The Duke and Duchess of Cambridge struggled to keep their composure as a dancer twerked in front of them, but then they realized it wasn't the time to keep calm and carry on — it was time to enjoy the show! See the video here!
Kate Middleton and Prince William got quite the show when they attended an Only Connect charity event in London on Nov. 19. The group Dance United performed a contemporary routine for them — and the choreography included tons of twerking! After the performance, dancer Aaron Russell-Andrews and his adorable 20-month-old daughter even offered up a gift for 4-month-old Prince George!
Kate Middleton & Prince William Watch Twerking Performance At Only Connect Event
Kate and William's stoic faces quickly turned to smiles and giggles as talented young dancers showed off their skills![hl_youtube src="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=48LEOTJliww" link="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=48LEOTJliww" text="Dancers Twerk For Royal Couple"]
Even the royal couple couldn't resist the entertainment value of some twerking!
Kate and Will were able to meet some of the awesome dancers, including a man named Aaron, who became involved with the Only Connect charity after turning his life around after committing crimes as a teenager, according to The Daily Mail.
Prince George Receives Thoughtful Present From Dancer
Aaron and his daughter connected to Will and Kate when he gifted the royal couple a onesie with the Only Connect logo. Aaron said that Kate "was very pleased about it. She said it's a very good fit because he's growing very fast, and that he'll like it," according to The Daily Mail.
His own growing daughter, Teegan, even tried to take back the gift for herself! "She's very cheeky," Aaron said of his own little one, who sparked conversation with Kate about the demanding first months with a newborn!
What do YOU think, HollywoodLifers? Do you think it's funny that the dancers twerked for Will and Kate?

After its shutout loss to Acton-Boxborough, the Concord-Carlisle football team spent the next week of practice working to get better where it needed to get better.
The results of that labor were good enough for the Patriots to defeat Weston, 33-6 on Friday at Memorial Field.
"We looked at our offense, for example, and the key stats," said C-C coach Mike Robichaud. "We had to be more productive. We had a lot of self-inflicted wounds. On third down, we were starting at third-and-7, which was behind schedule. We focused on us getting better. On defense, we focused on coming up and making the tackle."
C-C improved to 4-4 and remained undefeated in the Dual County League Small at 2-0. Next week, the Patriots host Wayland in a key league matchup.
Twice in the fourth quarter, Weston moved the ball inside the 20 before C-C stopped the Wildcats at the 4 and the 13 on fourth down.
The Wildcats (3-5, 0-2) did not get on the scoreboard until Deondre Molyneaux caught a 20-yard touchdown pass from Brett Rowe with 6:17 left in the third quarter.
The Patriots responded immediately on the next drive with Brendan Harrington connecting with Kyle Ridick for a 16-yard touchdown pass with 1:05 left in the third.
Harrington, a senior, was one of two C-C quarterbacks to throw touchdown passes in the game. With 6:50 remaining in the second quarter, sophomore Will Blumenberg threw to classmate Jack Barrett for a 40-yard scoring play.
On the first play of that drive, Harrington threw a screen to senior Evan Boynton for a 32-yard gain to the C-C 44.
"Now that Brendan is at 100 percent, he has the experience and the diligence we need," Robichaud said. "Will plays both ways for us, so we take advantage of what they both have to offer."
Blumenberg also rushed for two touchdowns of the game. He scored the game's first touchdown on a 1-yard quarterback sneak with 1:48 left in the first quarter. With 8:58 left in the second quarter, he scored on a 15-yard keeper around the left end.
On C-C's first possession of the second half, Blumemberg completed a 41-yard pass to Barrett, putting the ball on the Wildcats' 2. On the next play, Ronald Hargrove carried the ball into the end zone.
Barrett carried the ball seven times for 62 yards. He also caught three passes for 86 yards. After Weston's only touchdown, Barrett blocked James Freeman's extra point kick.
Boynton carried 10 times for 61 yards. He also made two of his three extra points, while Chris Sykes made one of two kicks.

His relentless pursuit to find unique, challenging angling experiences has taken him to some of the finest fresh and saltwater venues throughout the world.
He has guided extensively for trout and steelhead throughout Northern California, Oregon, Washington, Montana, Alaska, and New Zealand.
A truly fervent angler in search of the moment, Dax spends well over 300 days a year on the water chasing both fresh and saltwater species.
He continuously strives for excellence in both his personal angling skill development as well as his teaching and instruction techniques.
Being a truly passionate instructor, Dax is widely regarded as one of the West's finest casting and angling instructors.
All guided trips focus on the client's progression of angling skill, enjoyment of the venue, and respect of the angling environment is paramount.
My annual journey to Skeena Country in Northern British Columbia was truly epic this year. The Skeena was in great shape for the entire month I was there. My guests for my two hosted weeks were able to swing for epic Skeena steelhead in perfect conditions every day. If you are a steelheader, you know how rare and special that opportunity is.As always, my good friends at Skeena Spey Lodge make sure we have an incredible time both on and off the water. They have the best food, accommodation, guide staff, and home water on the Skeena. I have two prime weeks reserved there next year.
The hex hatch was outstanding the last few nights. My clients Jim and Corey landed several fish over 20 inches and had a bunch of other eats. Daytime fishing has been really good. There are some very large fish eating drys in the morning, very technical game but extremely fun head hunting. Sinking lines are also working very well late morning to early afternoons. Then it gets agonizingly hot and the fishing shuts down.
Fall River fished awesome last weekend. Friday morning there was overcast, so the dry fly fishing was absolutely superb with big fish looking up. No dry fly action on Saturday, but my rock star clients Dennis and Tony from the Bay Area absolutely pillaged on sinking lines between 10-1pm, hooking around 30 fish between 13-20 inches. The hex hatch is still going strong. I'll be back down to the beautiful Fall River Valley next weekend and have a few open days left before I start swinging for steelhead on the upper Rogue soon.
Dec-Jan-Feb: Coastal Oregon.
Dax spends mid-winter chasing chrome bright winter steelhead during primetime on the Southern Coast.
The famed Lower Rogue and Chetco are the featured rivers, along with some smaller rivers that Dax has intimate knowledge of.
Mar-Apr: Olympic Peninsula.
The biggest winter steelhead in the world run through the sacred waters of the Olympic Peninsula.
Dax fishes the famed Hoh, Bogey, and Sol Duc.
If you are a true steelheader, this venue should be at the top of your list for winter steelhead angling.
It's truly a magic place.
May-Jun-Jul: The Fall River Valley.
Dax spends the early summer months in the Fall River Valley pursuing wild rainbow trout.
Dax loves head-hunting for rising trout on Fall River.
He also takes clients to the Pit River, McCloud, and Hat Creek.
Jul-Aug: Lower Klamath Steelhead.
Dax teams up with fellow Confluence Outfitters guides Gino Bernero and Leslie Ajari for one of the most fun and unique steelhead camps offered in the industry.
The Klamath is one of California's finest steelhead fisheries. We target dime bright steelhead and occasionally run into bright chinook on this trip. Great weather, excellent food, elite spey casting instruction, and dime bright fish make this a must.
September: British Columbia Steelhead.
Every year Dax hosts a trip to the Skeena River system, which is the steelhead mecca for every die hard steelheader.
Dax spends over a month every year in this region, for good reason.
Truly Epic steelhead fishing.
Oct-Nov: Grande Ronde, Washington.
Dax teams up with spey legends Scott Odonnel and Mike McCune to work prime time on the best dry fly steelhead river in the Pacific Northwest. For years, Speywater Lodge has set the industry standard for spey casting and steelhead angling instruction. The Ronde experience is a multi day float through one of the most beautiful canyons in the world of flyfishing.

Nice piece, I enjoyed every part of it.
JJC: A fiction
Jo'e: Jesus Christ.
Registration Officer: What?
Jo'e: Jesus…
Registration Officer: Yes…?
Jo'e: Christ.
Reg. Officer: I thought your name's Joseph.
Jo'e: It is, Ma'am.
Reg. Off.: And…
Jo'e: [shrugs] And that's it.
Reg. Off.: Okay…but…
Jo'e: But… he can't be Jesus Joseph.
Reg. Off.: And why not?
Jo'e: [Silence]
Reg. Off.: Isn't the child yours—
Jo'e: —He sure is—
Reg. Off.: —and you, the father?
Jo'e: Sure. Er, in the flesh.
Reg. Off.: Of course, funny man. Like spirits give birth, eh?
Jo'e: Ah, can't be certain these days.
Ma'y: [whispers] C'mon, Joe.
Reg. Off.: Look. I love to banter and all, but the queue, as you can well see, 's longer than the Mediterranean.
Jo'e: See…thing is, Ma'am…I'm [leaning closer over the counter and saying in a low tone] under direct divine orders to register him as such.
Reg. Off.: Well, I'm sorry, I'm under direct legal orders to not register any newborn in any other name than his biological parents'. That's the standing rule for this census.
Jo'e: I understand; I totally do—
Reg. Off.: Unless you're not the true, biological parents.
Ma'y: We—
Jo'e : She—
Ma'y: are.
Jo'e: is.
Reg. Off.: [sighs] You guys mind tellin' me in plain English the heck's goin' on here?
Ma'y: Ma'am…
Reg. Off.: The child, he yours or ain't?
J'oe: Well, it's not that simple.
Ma'y: Jo'e—
Reg. Off.: Well, could you, like, help me simplify it in the fewest words possible?
Jo'e: That child belongs—
Reg. Off.: And by 'fewest words possible' I mean a straight Yes or No.
Jo'e: And if only you'd spare a few seconds to—
Reg. Off.: That I very much doubt, Mister. I'd rather I saved time by helping you un-complicate it: You are either the father or not. But, well, [tossing her a head-to-toe side-glance] with some ladies, it's okay to not be sure.
Ma'y: Excuse me?
Jo'e: I'm far from unsure.
Reg. Off.: Oh, well…
Ma'y: Your point exactly, Ma'am?
Reg. Off.: The point's made itself, Ma'am.
Jo'e: Babe…
Ma'y: FYI, I have known no man since I met my husband—
Jo'e: Honey—
Reg. Off.: Apparently. But before?
Jo'e: Let it go.
Ma'y: And I say that with every sense of confidence and humility.
Jo'e: Sweetie…
Reg. Off.: Good for you.
Jo'e: Could you let it go?
Ma'y: And it may interest you to know I've always kept myself—
Reg. Off.: Oh, humor me already.
Jo'e: Can we not do this here?
Ma'y:…every day of my life…
Reg. Off.: Oh, most certainly. And look where that got ya.
Ma'y: I've been a virgin.
Reg. Off.: Hehehe.
Ma'y: Always have, and still am.
Reg. Off.: My grandma is a virgin. Always have, and still am. Heavens, you got jokes, babe!
Ma'y: And if you're so keen on knowing—
Jo'e: This ain't necessary, Honey—
Ma'y: here's the gist: My child is conceived of the Holy Spirit.
Reg. Off.: Bwahahahaha.
Ma'y: Born of God Himself.
Reg. Off.: Ain't nobody wanna take in for Satan. Hahaha.
Jo'e: Cut it out, you two!
Ma'y: He is the Father of our child!
Reg. Off.: Uh-uh. Will have to stop you right there, Ma'am. Seriously, the Holy Spirit don't impregnate nobody. I'm all for jokes, but I don't dig blasphemy. Y'all can get out of my face right now.
Ma'y: [misty-eyed] Jo'e, you gon' stand there and watch her insult me? Insult us? Jo'e. Jo'e?
Back to present
Ma'y: Jo'e! Honey. [Tapping him on the shoulder]
Jo'e: Yea, Sweetie?
Ma'y: Somfin wrong?
J'oe: Certainly not. I'm good.
Ma'y: But she talking to you [pointing at the officer using her eyes only]
Jo'e: Ma'am?
Reg. Off.: Asked for your baby's name and you went silent. You okay, Sir?
Jo'e: I'm sorry. I'm fine, thanks.
Reg. Off.: Okay…
Jo'e: Joseph Jesus Christ.
Reg. Off.: Aww. Such cool initials.
Jo'e: I know right.
Reg. Off.: Welcome to the world, JJC.
Ma'y: Hehe. Thanks, Ma'am.
Reg. Off.: May God's blessings be upon him.
Ma'y & Jo'e: Amen!
