Make up Mania!
I'm not going to say that she's obsessed with make up, but it's become part of her daily routine. Nicole hates brushing her teeth in the morning so I told her one day that if she brushed her teeth before school, she could wear some of my lip gloss. Well, it's a couple weeks later and she still wants to wear lip gloss every day and now she wants to wear gold eyeliner on her cheeks. She draws a sun on one cheek and then puts a little on the other side to match. One day she wanted to wear purple eyeliner, mascara, eye shadow, blush, lip gloss, and even some of my earrings. I'm starting to think that I have created a monster.

Every year we go camping and see the Christmas lights. This year we went to Tifton, GA to the Georgia Museum of Agriculture and Historical Museum for a Victorian Christmas.
We spent the day exploring the museum and learning about the agriculture of the 1800s. At night we took the Polar Express to the North Pole to see Santa.
We slept in a tent (and boy was it cold!) which gave my kids the same experiences that I had as a kid. I love taking my kids on new adventures.
Tifton, GA is about three hours from home. The Museum is really neat and there are some great guides to explain all the buildings. My kids even learned how they made corn meal.
The gift shop offered turpentine, local honey and canned goods. Totally with the trip and the cold nights.
Where's your favorite place to see Christmas lights? Any family traditions that you are passing down to your kids?

Some countries have a way of embracing winter that could impress even the most frigid of Canadians.
Norway is one of them.
Moscow-based filmmaker Igor Byrko released a new drone video he shot in January that features incredible views of the Lofoten archipelago, high up in the Arctic Circle. Picturesque frozen peaks surround quaint, inviting little towns in a montage of footage that will almost be enough to convince you to fly somewhere that is (probably) even colder than where you are now.
And since we all know how challenging it would be to do that, you should check out the video above. It will give you a whole new impression of a country you likely don't know much about.
And if you like the first video, Byrko also released similar footage taken in Iceland about six months ago. You can find that one below:

SCOTTSBORO, AL (WAFF) - Scottsboro police arrested Simon Porter, the man accused of raping a 16-month-old child in Lawrenceburg, Tennessee.
Porter was added to the Tennessee Bureau of Investigation's Top Ten Most Wanted List last week.
Scottsboro residents were alarmed that Porter was found in the area, especially Joey Dicus, who lives near the area where a passerby spotted Dicus walking along Highway 79 and called police.
"I live about a mile from where they got him and I have two grandchildren, it's very scary. I mean, he shouldn't have made it this far without being caught," said Dicus.
I mean it's dangerous, kids out playing today, it's very dangerous," added Dicus.
Scottsboro police say they arrested Porter within five to ten minutes of receiving the call from the person that spotted Porter.
Dicus, like many others in Scottsboro, is alarmed of the disturbing crime Porter is accused of.
"He done something like that at my kid, he wouldn't be in jail right now. I would have taken care of him by myself," said Dicus.
Investigators in Tennessee believed Porter has ties to the north Alabama area. However, Scottsboro police say they don't know why he was in the area or what the ties may be.
"I'm glad he's behind bars," added Dicus.
Authorities say they were notified of the crime by a doctor who examined the child at Vanderbilt University Medical Center.

Building Services in Towcester
3 Meadow View
Martin attended to a broken facia which occurred during the storms in late 2017. He has his own portable scaffolding platform to reach high level and he replaced both facia panels with much better quality than the old (1960's) panels. He also fitted noggins in where there were none before. Then he had a go at the gutters at the back of the house where a forest of weeds was growing. I shall be calling him back again to have another look at adjusting the slope on the gutter.

I'll be the first to admit that I was more than a little dubious after uncrating and surveying the Jadis DA88S MkII integrated amplifier.
Sure, Jadis is a storied brand known for its hand-wound transformers, and it has more than a few audiophile worshippers. But I must confess that I was a mite skeptical about whether this integrated amp could really deliver the goods. My reservations went along something like these lines: Integrated amp, not separates; fairly inexpensive, as high-end audio products go; a mere 60 watts of output power; a lightweight; and so on. Skepticism, in other words, abounded. Still I was determined to give this piece of Gallic electronics a fair shake. So I plugged in a CD featuring the British trumpeter John Wallace performing Gabrieli and hit play on the dCS Vivaldi.
Every preconception that I had was laid waste within a few seconds as I listened to an integrated amplifier that wasn't merely good—it was spectacular. I knew that the Wilson XLF loudspeakers are fairly easy to drive, but the Jadis demonstrated a dynamic alacrity and vividness and prowess—a puissance, to use the wonderful French term—that placed it in the very top echelon of audio equipment regardless of price. There was no syrupy sound here—just superb dimensionality, iron grip, and unrelenting drive. The jump factor of the Jadis is off the charts. Put otherwise, it sounds as stunning as it looks.
One of the reasons that the DA88S looks so striking, apart from its metal work, is that it displays its input and output tubes so prominently. The version that I received was loaded for bear with the imposing KT120 tube, a more prodigious version of the venerable 6550, that has come on strong in recent years. The input tubes are 12ax7 and 12au7s. The 12ax7 is often considered to be somewhat dark in sound, but I heard no hint of this in the Jadis. The unit is simplicity itself to operate. All that is required to get it up and running is to unscrew the bolts holding down a black protective cage and insert the tubes. The owner's manual states that you should always keep the cage on, but I didn't. It's visually more pleasurable to see the glowing tubes without a barrier.
As far as the tubes are concerned, the Jadis requires no further user intervention. The unit is self-biasing. Its only other controls are a volume knob, an input selector, and (gasp!) a balance control, something that many audiophiles frown on but that my friend and fellow TAS reviewer Anthony Cordesman considers a vital part of an audio system, because of room anomalies (not to mention that it's pretty much impossible to get a phono cartridge to output precisely the same voltage from each channel). Measure it and you're more than likely to find a discrepancy, however minute. I should also state upfront that, though I've seen reports of reliability problems with Jadis equipment in the past, there were absolutely no hiccups in my system. It truly was plug 'n' play, though you're better off waiting at least an hour for the tubes to warm up fully to attain everything that this unit has to offer.
One of the first things you notice about a revealing system is a sense of flow—a sense of the almost microscopic nuances that transform a musical passage from rote reproduction into a singing line. On a Carlos Kleiber live recording of the Vienna Philharmonic performing Strauss waltzes in the Musikverein, this once more came vividly home to me. Probably no orchestra in the world has this sense of pacing more in its bones than the Vienna players. The Jadis delivered those tiny details with truly stupefying fidelity, at a level that I would hitherto never have credited to an integrated amplifier. On the venerable Radetzky March, for example, the crispness of the trumpets, the precision of the cymbals, and the sheer exuberance of the waltz were fully realized by the Jadis. The Jadis discriminated between the pianissimo and fortissimo passages with sovereign ease. It was hard not to be swept along by the martial zest of the whole thing, particularly when you could hear the audience enthusiastically clapping in the background.

Attractiveness… contrary to what many may think, is rarely related solely to external beauty. So what is it?
It's the way we appear to others by our interactions with them. It's what we say (or don't say). It's letting others shine.
Many people… according to the Web research I did,… are so focused on themselves they don't realize how they come across to others. They actually aren't aware that they're acting in a self-centered manner… a manner that is very, very unattractive.
Self-centered behavior, cockiness, and arrogance makes for a pretty much one way relationship. It's like the 'all about me' person is wearing blinders as to how their attitude affects others. Other people may be just too polite to call them on it. They just stop wanting to be around the self-centered one… so without understanding why, another friendship or relationship drifts away.
The good news is that self-centered behavior is not genetic (that we know of). It's learned behavior.
So if you find that you don't have all the long lasting relationships you'd like, or if you realize that you're not making new friendships easily, perhaps it's because you're unknowingly appearing unattractive to others by your actions. You don't have to continue that way.
The article I chose for this important subject discusses what you might be doing to appear unattractive to others and what to do about it.
Click here, and learn some different ways you can interact with others so they'll see you as the attractive person you really are…

Valentine's day is approaching and it's the time to look good! Sometimes it is hard to create the perfect "Victoria Secret" hair. To learn how to achieve big, bouncy, voluminous curls at home keep reading!
Step one-
Wash your hair with a volumizing shampoo and conditioner. We love Biolage Volume Bloom ($21.15)
Step two-
Prep your hair damp hair with something that will give it hold and body. We love two Amika products for doing just that! Amika Brooklyn Blowout ($32) is an excellent blow dry spray to help with volume, smoothness, and an easier blow out. They also have a great mousse Plus Size ($31.50) which is great for giving amazing volume to the hair.
Step three-
Blow dry! Sometimes it is hard to round brush your own hair to achieve the volume we all need. Our best suggestion is to flip your head upside down and blowdry your hair that way. It will help lift the roots and give you volume. Use a brush to blow dry the ends to keep them smooth.
Step four-
Once your hair is dried, section off your hair. Starting with the bottom section spray a heat protector before you use hot tools on each section (AG Firewall $29). Curl one inch thick sections and rotate them so your first strand you curl away from your face, the next you curl toward. This will create some more movement. After each curl let it cool in your hand right out of the barrel. This will allow the curl to hold its shape a bit better and won't fall out too quickly. You can also pin your curls to create even more volume and hold. If you find it too challenging to pin your entire head you can pin the top section and near your crown. This will allow for maximum volume. To pin your curls all you'll need is a few flat clips. Curl your section of hair and release it into your hand in the shape it is wrapped around the iron. Sliding the clip in at the stem of the curl so the clip won't leave any visible marks. Add hairspray* and allow the curls to cool, once you unclip them they will be very voluminous.
Step five-
Once your entire head is curled and cooled spray hairspray (High Amplify $24.95) to help hold the curl. Next flip your hair upside down and starting at the root rub and break up the curls. You can brush them out if your hair holds curl really well. If you're looking for more volume use a volume powder at the root (Amika Vandal 31.50), shaking it onto your hand and rubbing it into the roots to create more volume. You can even backcomb the crown to give it that extra oomph
Step six-
Spray again with a finishing spray (Kevin Murphy Doo Over $31) to keep everything in place. Enjoy your Valentine's day!

Hohe See and Albatros at a glance
The Hohe See and Albatros wind farms are being erected far out in the North Sea: Hohe See is located around 95 kilometres north of Borkum and around 100 kilometres north-west of Helgoland, while Albatros is being constructed 105 kilometres from each coast. On areas covering 42 and 11 square kilometres respectively, both wind farms will generate 2.5 billion kilowatt hours of electricity to supply an aggregate of around 710,000 households from 2019.
- Output: 610 megawatts for total project
71 x 7.0 megawatts=497 megawatts at Hohe See
16 x 7.0 megawatts=112 megawatts at Albatros
- Turbines:
71 Siemens SWT-7.0-154 Hohe See
16 Siemens SWT-7.0-154 Albatros
- Annual yield: 2.5 billion kilowatt hours for total project
- Average wind speed: approx. 10.1 metres/second
- CO₂ saving: around 1.9 million tonnes/year for total project
- Foundations: Monopiles
- Hub height: 105 metres
- Rotor diameter: 154 metres
- Water depth: 40 metres
Cooperation partner on board
The investment costs for the construction of the Hohe See wind farm come to 1.8 billion euro, while constructing the Albatros wind farm will cost an additional 0.4 billion euro. This joint project thus represents the largest investment decision for EnBW in the history of the company to date and will bring the company nearer to its goal of expanding renewable energies into a main pillar of its energy generation.
In order to finance the offshore wind farms from their construction through to commissioning, EnBW has secured the Canadian energy infrastructure company Enbridge Inc. as an investment partner: Enbridge Inc. has acquired 49.9 percent of the shares in EnBW Hohe See, while EnBW will retain the remaining 50.1 percent. This investment provides us with scope for the further development of new projects.
EnBW & Enbridge continue their successful cooperation with the Albatros wind farm in the North Sea

Want to know how to really grind my gears? How to make me anxious and frustrated?
Criticize me. Tell me what I'm doing is all wrong. Correct my actions and mistakes.
Yeah, I don't handle criticism well. I'm very disciplined with myself, and my inner voice tends to be quite critical, but to receive that same correction from others? I should probably work on that.
Especially because being disciplined with yourself and having others discipline you is elemental in being a disciple of God. Look how similar and related the words "disciplined" and "disciple" already are!
So if being a disciplined disciple is pleasing to God, then how can we more fully embody that? How can we not only accept correction and criticism, but embrace it?
what the Bible says.
There are several important verses regarding discipline that we can consider and apply to our own situations.
Hebrews 12:11 says, "For the moment all discipline seems painful rather than pleasant, but later it yields the peaceful fruit of righteousness to those who have been trained by it." Discipline is how we know we've strayed away from our values and God's will. In the moment of receiving discipline, it's likely the last thing we want to experience. But how else would we know to act differently, or that we aren't living up to the standards we want from ourselves?
Many of the Bible verses reflecting upon discipline are for those not following the Ten Commandments. For example, Proverbs 6:23 says, "For the commandment is a lamp and the teaching a light, and the reproofs of discipline are the way of life." This is said with all the negative consequences of committing adultery.
Maybe we aren't all going so far as to commit adultery or commit murder, but the Ten Commandments should be a pillar of our disciplined discipleship. They are God's Law, and through following them, He sets our paths straight toward Him. He guides us in many other ways throughout our days, but His commandments and teachings are set in stone.
Even those who aren't Christian likely still follow similar ideals of not killing, coveting, or stealing. They're fairly universal morals. Most would say, if you're a decent human being, you won't do those things on a normal day. So we might not agree on every doctrine, but we can all attest to disciplined morality. It connects us, draws us closer together. Discipline ensures we don't sever those ties.
disciplining others?
I have to mention, while discussing discipline, how to give guidance to others. I don't have children, so I can't give advise there beyond please don't spank or hit your kids.
We'll inevitably face a moment where we feel compelled to tell a loved one or acquaintance that they're acting poorly, or that they made a poor moral decision. Think of when a friend hurt your feelings, or a parent acted rashly to something you admitted to doing, or even a stranger being rude to you for no good reason.
We should approach discipline for what it is: an act of love. Revelation 3:19 says, "Those whom I love, I reprove and discipline, so be zealous and repent." We want the best from others. It shows that we care about them, and we're mindful of their actions.
Before you do or say anything, evaluate your intentions: are you angry and frustrated, allowing emotions to take control? Or are you calm and thoughtful, really connecting with someone else to express yourself? Discipline shouldn't feel threatening. It shouldn't make you scared. It should simply instill that inner sense of obedience and understanding.
Think of Jesus's disciples, their obedience and love for Jesus. They follow Him physically and spiritually, allowing His Word guide their thoughts and actions. They were human; they weren't perfect like Jesus. But because they claim themselves as His disciples, they hold themselves accountable to His discipline.
That, to me, is a clear example of discipline embodying love. He's the shepherd, and He loves each of his sheep. The last thing He'd want is for a sheep to go astray, and He'll put in the time and effort to redirect the sheep to the flock if it scurries off.
in a grander scheme.
I also see God being a disciplinarian for His children in ways we might not think about.
When life takes hold of the reins, things don't work out as planned, you fail big-time… that's often God's mysterious way of discipline. He sees what might go contrary to His Word and teaching, and He redirects us.
We're likely not thinking about pitfalls this way. We're a mix of negative emotions: disgust, shame, frustration, self-pity, anger. Perhaps we blame ourselves, or we blame others. We focus on the failure and hardship rather than the good that might come from it all.
Let's reframe hardship because there is a reason for everything. God doesn't make us struggle for nothing. Instead, He puts us in difficult circumstances to not only test our faith in Him, but to also reaffirm our obedience.
Proverbs 12:1 reminds us, "Whoever loves discipline loves knowledge, but he who hates reproof is stupid." Through struggle, we gain knowledge. We can more clearly see God's hand in everything. We trust in His love and correction. We become more conscious of Him. We realize there's a purpose set in place that we will obtain through accepting Him.
Maybe you don't believe in God in the same way; that's completely okay. I still think, however, that we can approach criticism and correction differently. Someone wants you to be a better version of yourself. A hardship or failure is never completely negative. Through a lens of love, unsavory words and circumstances can seem more thoughtful, more considerate.
Humanity is in the same boat, and we're looking out for one another. And if something doesn't work out as you wanted, then better things are meant for you, and they're coming soon. The best is yet to come. The universe has a funny way of balancing itself out: good, loving intentions do receive reward.
Do you hate criticism from others? Through God and His loving nature, how might you view this same criticism differently?
Take care, and keep the faith. -Allie

Never worry over what others have to say or what they think about you. People are going to think about you or speak of you whether you are high up in society or low in society. It's just the way people work. You take the good, the positive, uplifting words and work with them and you take the negative words, which may be true but you think it's false, think about them because it may be that you may need to fix something about yourself and reflect on them.
Being a positive individual works wonders. Don't not deprive yourself of success or achieving something you've always wanted because someone has something negative to say about you. Those people aren't going to help you achieve your goals nor are they going to support you. They will continue to put you down because:
1) They see the determination and passion you have
2) That determination and passion is something they wish they could have
Don't fall to peoples negative words because they aren't going to catch you nor are they going to lift you up. That is why the Prophet Muhammad (Peace & Blessings be Upon Him) has advised us to take on friends who are good and are positive. These people will help you attain success. They'll be loyal to you. They'll help guide you to being a better person. As The Messegner Of Allah said: "The example of a good companion and a bad companion is like that of the seller of musk, and the one who blows the blacksmith's bellows.. So as for the seller of musk then either he will grant you some, or you buy some from him, or at least you enjoy a pleasant smell from him. As for the one who blows the blacksmith's bellows then either he will burn your clothes or you will get an offensive smell from him." (Bukhari & Muslim)
So don't ever fall prey to someone's negative thoughts, words or the way you think society will accept you or not. They'll always have an opinion about you but it is up to you, the listener, the reader, to accept or deny these negative thoughts and keep going through life on a positive note. The more negativity you accept, the more you'll come to accept and fall into a hole and the more positivity you accept, the more you'll able continue to encourage yourself to continue on that path of success.
Success depends on the mind. How you will perceive where you are going. You create a path, a goal, you set it in your mind and have 100% faith in Allah. Life will come with hardships and life will come with ease, this is the reality of it but be patient and continue to strive for whatever it may be. The mind is as powerful as you want it to be. It's a sponge, it holds all this information, your experiences, your views, your thoughts, all in your subconscious and your conscious. The way you allow your mind to play into these moments in life, will develop your mind into a positive body, who beams with confidence, who knows that the source of life, the source sustenance that comes from Allah but with an effort within ourselves, created by a thought of completing goals and attaining success. This is all with a positive mindset you must create. No one else is going to create that positive mindset for you. If you believe you can achieve then you will achieve. A person can only speak to you and attempt to make you positive but it is up to you whether you want to be or not.
Be a confident person and believe in your abilities because you are intelligent and you are capable of surpassing and achieving goals you've set in your life. Be confident at all moments in your life by having complete faith in Allah, as He will carry you through whatever problems or issues you are having. It is important for the Muslim to have this belief. Without this belief, you'll be affected by the whispers of shaytaan as he is just like a bad friend, who continues to discourage you from being a greater or a better person. Who continues to encourage you to sin and not worry about the consequences and have fun.
So remember, set your mind not as an obstacle but as something that will help you over come obstacles in life. Set your mind not as a place for negative thoughts, for drilling you into a ground of depression but set your mind as a place that you will drill the belief of achieving success and a grounds for positivity. You are as you think you are and you are capable of what you think are capable of but at the end of the day, life belongs in the hands of Allah. So always smile, encourage others to do good and to think positive and be sincere about your advice. May Allah give us all a mindset that will help us achieve our goals and our dreams with the most positive belief.

Big bank rate hikes hit today
Owner occupier and investor home loan borrowers are affected today by interest rate hikes set by a number of banks in a bid to gain capital.
Westpac's rate hike was the highest of the big four at 20 points, followed by ANZ at 18, and Commbank at the lower end of 15 points. Westpac's Chief Executive George Franzis cited regulatory changes as the motivator for the rate increases.
"This is a difficult decision and one that is not taken lightly," Franzis said.
"We have sought to carefully balance the needs of our borrowers, depositors and our shareholders, as well as the competitive market we operate in. Increases in the cost of doing business inevitably influence business decisions, including price."
RELATED: How a rate rise could affect you
Regulations set by the Australian Prudential Regulation Authority (APRA) in July required banks to gain more capital per loans than previously to reduce credit risk. The banks argued that the regulations have compelled them to increase these interest rates.
"Any decision to change interest rates is carefully considered," Matt Comyn, Group Executive for Retail Banking Services of CommBank said.
"The cost of the new capital required to make the Australian banking system more secure needs to balance the interests of our customers."
Thirteen banks such as Adelaide and Bendigo Bank have also increased rates while big four bank NAB made the move earlier this month and increased rates on November 12.
Our data showed these rate hikes have resulted in a refinancing rush, with a 25% spike in switching in our home loan section last month.

JLR invests $25 million in Lyft
Lyft announced that Jaguar Land Rover is making a $25 million investment through its mobility services arm, InMotion Ventures. The company has said that it will use the cash influx to support further expansion in the U.S. as well as fund development of self-driving technology. Moreover, Lyft will also get a fleet of Jaguar and Land Rover vehicles.
Lyft has entered into strategic partnerships with many significant players in the automotive ecosystem, consolidating its position against its competetors like Uber. In the recent past Lyft has announced collaborations with Waymo, Nutonomy and before that it had a partnership with GM.
InMotion Ventures has stated that the investment will give JLR the opportunity to develop and test its mobility services, including autonomous vehicles.
Lyft has total valuation of about $7 billion while Uber stands at $69 billion, Uber also has partnerships with GM which has $500 million investment in Lyft , Mercedes-Benz and Toyota. So this shows that the gap between the two companies is huge but Lyft is making the right moves to get even with its main rival.

Last year, as thousands of UK shoppers queued through the night outside department stores and supermarkets, determination to make the most of the heady discounts even led to the Police being called to break up brawls. Shoppers were even injured in the stampede as doors opened.
It's clear this cannot continue. Cynics might say retailers are banking on media coverage of this hype to generate publicity – but it's not good PR if stores fail to look after their visitors in an appropriate way, or even encourage dangerous shopping habits.
To ensure shoppers stay as safe as they possibly can while still maximising revenue opportunities, many rules we associate with hosting major events at other times of year can be applied to the last Friday in November.
Many stores across the UK will have been planning Black Friday for months, and some may even debrief this afternoon in order to plan for 2016. This isn't necessarily the case for smaller, independent retailers, however.
In a recent national survey conducted exclusively with Retail Design World, it was discovered that 50 per cent of store managers and shop owners did not plan for Black Friday, nor did they give thought to crowd control measures.
Though our survey also indicated brands are convinced Black Friday is nothing more than a fad, it is a time to ask questions that go above and beyond a standard trading day.
Do retailers need additional staff to maintain a high standard of service? Does the store layout adequately cater for an increased, highly dense footfall? Have retailers highlighted important points throughout the store, such as exits, toilets or pay points? Can the crowds easily complete their purchases in an organised fashion, with appropriate signage and retractable barriers leading people towards where they need to go?
The customer journey remains an integral piece to the shopping experience – and this can be forgotten when the focus on days like Black Friday is all about price tags. But from the entrance right to the checkout, stores today should be even easier to navigate, organised, clean and hazard-free.
During Black Friday, successful stores will have employed sufficient security measures in case of crowds. Perhaps they have introduced new cordoned-off queuing routes to slow people down. These are flexible enough to move throughout the day while adapting to traffic.
There will be hundreds of shoppers today who forget their manners. This is bound to happen when the deals are so tempting, but the most successful and responsible retailers will anticipate this, monitoring traffic flow on a regular basis and strategically positioning products or deals in key areas of the store in order to keep customers engaged, informed and panic-free.
Ultimately, no store wants an injury on their hands. Nor does it want to infuriate staff with less-than-satisfactory preparation.
It remains to be seen whether Black Friday will continue to be such an important date in the retail calendar in years to come. But, with the provision of well-rehearsed crowd control measures alongside considerate store design, brands can be prepared to welcome an abundance of keen spenders while ensuring the shopping experience is still a positive one for all concerned.

6:20am- Jer: "We're all bringing our build-a-bears! You should too." Me: "And this is home school peer pressure."
6:45am- On our way to the Dollywood Theme Park!
8:27am- Jer: *hands me his dragon* Me: *Makes my dragon hug his* Jer: "Were you making them kiss?!" Me: "No, they were hugging… This is kissing, this is hugging. Why do we need to demonstrate different types of PDA with our plush toys?!"
8:32am- Tim: "How would conjoined twins have a love life? It would have to be like polygamy." Caleb: "If this were Solomon, it wouldn't be an issue." Jer: "HEY LOOK, A TREE. AND A BUSH. AND ANOTHER TREE!" Caleb: "Trying to change the subject?" Jer: "Um, yeah."
9:35am- Time for fast food and buying gummy worms at a gas station mini mart. Also time for a small group photo of those of us who wore our BlimeyCon shirts (Caleb, Chris, me). I love how all these extra little touches were added to the weekend by fellow Patrons rather than the Taylors having to plan and execute everything. Really makes it a team effort, and all the more special! Our friend Lily Wright had the shirts made for the event.
11:00am- Time flies. Especially when you fall asleep in Central time and wake up in Eastern time. Guess all of the weekend's action really tired me out, because I slept for a good chunk of the drive. Also, a fun side note: this is the first time I've ever been in Eastern time!
11:20am- We're here!! Now, to see where the other carloads of people have run off to.
11:37- I suddenly have ended up in a 1950's town. This is my favorite architectural/fashion era. So far Dollywood is making points with me! It's so cute!
12:11pm- Been having a great time so far! I have to say, I'm really thankful for the raft ride. It felt amazing to get soaked first thing. It's hot out today! Starting to dry off a little after having ridden a few other rides, though. Maybe I'll have to make another trip back to the water rides.
2:00pm- There is this cool old looking church building here. It smells like cedar and reminds me of being at summer camp.
2:15pm- Man… this heat and all of the exhaustion from the past several days has really hit me. Been laying around on a pew in the church building for a while and still don't really feel like moving. Everyone else we were with went on to meet up with some of the rest of the crew, so that leaves me, Spock, and Matt here. I would feel bad, but Matt looks like he needs the rest too. So, I guess that just means Spock can keep playing the piano for a little while until we are rested up and ready to move.
2:40pm- I finally got rehydrated and better rested, Matt looks to be feeling better, and Spock has been begging us to do SOMETHING for a while now, so off we go! It'll be all good once we actually get going on some rides and get in the mood again.
3:00pm- So, Spock, Matt, and I ended up becoming a mini team for the afternoon. Mostly because none of us felt like doing anything too huge or crazy, and also because these two are pretty much the coolest. There's also been a running joke for the past several months that Spock and I are bro & sis and Matt is our dad. So of course the three of us had to have a "family" outing, right? ;)
3:27pm- We found a "graveyard". It's full of headstones that have limericks on them about how the people died. A few of them read:
"Here lies the body of Big Louis Free
His axe fell himself instead of the tree"
"When Israel was in need of food
The Good Lord sent them manna
Old looker Wallace wanted a wife
And the Devil sent him Hannah"
"Cutting trees and
trimming limbs
With saw, his axe, or knife
One day he cut the long end first
And then cut short his life"
3:36pm- I wondered if we could all fit in the coffin. It turns out the answer is "almost". We then requisitioned another park guest to take a photo of us being the undead- because hey, how are we to pass up that opportunity!?
3:50pm- There is this one ride here that I am told is set up a little like the Pirates of the Caribbean ride, called Burning Fury. It is sort of like a slow moving roller coaster that takes you through this eerie burning old west city. It's actually rather hilarious; there are all these little details they put in. Like a sign on the restaurant that says they sell burnt toast and scorched eggs. It also has a couple short but unexpected drops that make things a bit more interesting!
4:15pm- We found our favorite roller coaster. The Firechaser Express. It's so fun! Even shoots backwards at one point, though not for awfully long. (Had to pull this image off the internet though, because I forgot to take a photo of it while we were there, and this is the only thing I can find that isn't under copyright.)
4:45pm- Spock really wanted to ride the carousel at the mall, but it was expensive. So, I promised him we could ride one here. The three of us had a grand time of it and made jokes almost the entire time. We also were the only people our age on this ride. Everyone else was either way older or way younger. Good times, haha.
5:15pm- Ran into Josh and his mom, Laurie! They invited us to do the park train tour ride with them. Felt good to sit down again for a little while and take in the scenery!
5:48pm- How is it getting so close to park closure time!? Man. Must shut down earlier on weekdays, because the theme park I live near (Silverwood) tends to not close until dark. Ah well. Let's see how many rides we can do before it's time to leave!
6:07pm- For a bit we talked about hitting the raft ride again, until we realized that would mean going home in mostly wet clothes. So, we went back to hit The Firechaser Express again! Got to enjoy riding it three times in a row, because it was late enough that there was basically no line. What fun!
6:40pm- On our way back to meet up with the group, we hit Burning Fury again, and were the ONLY people on the ride. So what do we do? The three of us look for all the details and make goofy sarcastic remarks the entire trip. It was great. One sign we saw was in a woman's front yard: "Looking for husband. Any shape, any size." and off to the side there was a deranged looking woman chasing some frightened man through her yard. Haha!!
6:50pm- I think this is the first time all day that I've actually seen EVERYBODY in our group who came out here! It's great catching up with everyone and hearing their stories from the day.
7:05pm- Lots of goodbyes on the way out of the park. Hilarious thing is, we all ended up on the same ride back to the parking lot because it turns out we all parked in the same lot! Nice surprise!
7:15pm- Goodbyes for real this time. So glad a bunch of these people are still sticking around town for a few days, but we will miss the ones who have to go back home! Officially, BlimeyCon is now over, but the after-party will live on for a few more days, and for that I am thankful.
12:00am- Here we are, pulling into the driveway and I've got Spock asleep on my right shoulder and Matt asleep on my left. But I'm good with that. I was kind of chilly from the air conditioning earlier and the two of them are keeping me nice and warm. Fair enough anyhow- I've fallen asleep on both of them between the drives to and from Dollywood. I think we're all very ready for bed tonight.

What It Is
The CRISPR-Cas9 has been called the medical break through of the century. The CRISPR-Cas9 is a genome editing tool that has a wide variety of applications in the medical world. The CRISPR-Cas9 is cheaper and more accurate than previous DNA editing devices. The CRISPR-Cas9 uses its gene- editing precision to treat a multitude of serious diseases and illnesses such as certain types of cancers. Scientists and doctors alike are looking to use this same technology to treat patients more minor conditions like sickle-cell, hepatitis-B, and even high cholesterol. The CRISPR-Cas9 is currently in the trial stages of development. The current trial in operation is testing the effectiveness of the CRISPR-Cas9 system in treating three types of tumors: melanoma, sarcoma, and myeloma. If these trials prove successful this could be the largest advancement in history in finding the cure for cancer.
How It Works
The CRISPR-Cas9 uses science based on the functions bacterial palindromic repeats. Bacterial palindromic repeats were discovered in 1980; however, scientists could not decipher their function and potential capabilities. The first steps in the CRISPR-Cas9 systems process is the extraction of certain immunity cells known as T-cells. The CRPISPR-Cas9 system will use two key modules to mutate these cells. The first module is called Cas9. This acts as a pair of "molecular scissors" that cut the two strands of DNA at a specific location in order add or remove a segment. The second key module is a piece of RNA. This is a small portion of pre-designed RNA located in a larger segment. This is responsible for guiding the Cas9 to the intended part of the genome. A new gene will then be added to these extracted T-cells designed to bind to a protein found in many types of tumors. Once the T-cells have banded with this receptor the T-cells will seek out and destroy the tumor cells.
Safety Concerns
In the US, the federal committee has given its approval to begin the CRISPR-Cas9 trials. The first patients have been injected with their own edited DNA. However, the CRISPR-Cas9 trials do pose some risks. The CRISPR-Cas9 works by cutting some DNA and it is possible that the DNA is cut in the wrong place. The concern with this is that the new T-cell could actually introduce cancer causing mutations into a patient. Whether or not the CRISPR-Cas9 trials will be successful is unknown, but scientist and doctors worldwide are hopeful.

SpiceJet indicates Gulf airline interest
Ajay Singh, chairman of SpiceJet, has said that Gulf airlines have shown interest in buying a stake in the airline.
"Some of the Gulf airlines have expressed an interest in SpiceJet as we have come back into the market, but this is not the right time to be diluting the equity," he said. "There is some dialogue which is ongoing and we continue to explore other types of relationships we could have."
Singh also confirmed that the airline is considering a new aircraft order for 150 single-aisle jets from either Boeing or Airbus during 2015-16, and up to 50 additional regional jets.
"SpiceJet is generating enough cash internally to sustain those orders," said Singh. "If we need to raise any money to fund those orders, which looks unlikely at this time, there are enough unutilised credit lines available to us."

Ms. Zeng Rong, Spokesperson of the Chinese Embassy in the UK, recently wrote a letter to the Guardian refuting an article it carried on the so-called environmental crisis in Tibet. The Guardian online published part of the letter on 3 September 2017. The following is the full text of the Spokesperson's letter:
The article on the so-called "environmental crisis" in Tibet, published on The Guardian website on August 7, was full of sensational and misleading remarks. I hope to provide The Guardian readers with a more comprehensive and objective briefing about development and environmental protection in Tibet.
After 60 years of development, Tibet has bidden farewell to the poor and backward, closed and stagnant feudal serfdom, and has made remarkable progress. The economy has grown by leaps and bounds, and the people's living standard has been greatly improved. Social undertakings such as education, science and technology and health have developed rapidly, and the traditional culture has been fully restored, preserved and promoted. Demographically, ethnic Tibetans constitute the majority and continue to be the main beneficiary of the economic development of the Tibet Autonomous Region.
The Chinese government has made it a principle that economic development should not be pursued at the expense of the environment. The snow-capped Qinghai-Tibet Plateau is designated as an area for ecological preservation, where environmental protection is the bottom line, the lifeline and the "red line" for any development policy. China adheres to the strategy of sustainable development which means that policies for environmental protection and economic development are formulated and implemented in close coordination.
In recent years, the Tibet Autonomous Region has strictly followed the principle of "keeping development and protection policies in tandem" and has given priority to protection of the ecological environment all along. Its persistent efforts to strengthen ecological conservation and environmental protection have led to remarkable outcomes. By the end of 2016, 47 nature reserves had been established in Tibet, covering a total area of 412.2 thousand square kilometers and accounting for 34.35% of the autonomous region's total land area. In addition, 22 ecological protection zones had been set up. The region's environmental communique 2016 records that most areas in Tibet remain in their pristine state, and the environmental quality remains good.
In order to minimize the impact of global warming on the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau and achieve sustainable development locally, China has invested heavily in the building of the ecological security shield for the "roof of the world" and will continue to do so. Over 10 billion RMB yuan have been budgeted for the period from 2008 to 2030 to fund projects of natural grassland and wildlife protection, soil conservation, geological disaster prevention and control, monitoring and supervision capacity building and technology support. The central and local government as well as the people living on the plateau will keep up their good work to improve the system of conservation, secure the ecological shield and build their beautiful home.

BERLIN, Dec. 3 (Xinhua) -- China's Kunqu opera (also as Kunju opera) classic "The Four Dreams of Linchuan" was staged in the theater of Berliner Festspiele in Berlin over the weekend, prompting a surge in the number of interested and even enthusiastic viewers.
"The Four Dreams of Linchuan", a masterpiece by Tang Xianzu (15400-1616) during the Ming Dynasty, is a collection of four major dramas including the most renowned "The Peony Pavilion" and others.
The four "dreams" were brought onto the stage of Berliner Festspiele in four separate performances on Saturday and Sunday by the Shanghai Kunju Opera Troupe. To help audience better understand the storylines and the artistic styles of Kunqu, Berliner Festspiele hosted many introduction sessions as well as workshops.
When the last drama, "The Peony Pavilion" ended, wild applauses and cheers turned into a standing ovation as the curtain dropped and raised again for several times and the actor and actress saluting the audience in Kunqu-style figures.
"The Peony Pavilion" depicts a love story that transcends time and space, life and death, and it became classic.
Lara Messante, a local viewer, told Xinhua that "It's a human story, a story that may happen everywhere." She said, the only difference between the East and the West lies in the artistic presentation. While European operas are more "expressionist" in revealing people's feelings, Chinese operas use many styles.
Thomas Oberender, director of Berliner Festspiele, told Xinhua that such a sophisticated art form, including its music, visuals and acrobatics, is inspiring for western contemporary art. Germany audience liked this art form of talking with symbols.
Commenting on the opera "The Four Dreams of Linchuan", Oberender said, "It's very close to our western narration of 'life is dream', and for me it's very interesting to get to learn this artistic language which is close to our silent film tradition. "
Gu Haohao, director of the Shanghai Kunju Opera Troupe and also an award-winning Kunqu artist, said she has been observing the audience throughout the four shows, and the enthusiasm of local audience is never seen before since she first stepped onto the European stage 17 years ago.
"Now more and more people appreciate the aesthetics of traditional Chinese operas," she said.
Kunqu opera combines literary texts, music, costume designs and performances, and was listed as a world intangible cultural heritage by the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO) in 4001.

It is Time to Grill Salmon!
It is time to start thinking about the annual Salmon Bake and Silent Auction. This year, the Bake will be held Friday, May 10th. We will return to Sugarhouse Park Rose Garden building again this year. It is a great location with outdoor play space and indoor space for the silent auction and socializing in case of inclement weather. Bring your outdoor toys as May holds promise for a longer and warmer evening. The silent auction and appetizers will begin at 5 pm and dinner will be served at 7 pm.
Our entertainment will be the Buckle Busters. They will wander through the crowd during the silent auction, so come early make some bids, dance, then check your bids before dinner. The Buckle Busters are an old-time western/bluegrass trio who have been playing continuously for thirty years. They have performed their brand of "cutting edge music from days gone by" at Kingsbury Hall, Capitol Theater and around the world, including two tours of Eastern Europe.
Save a few bucks and help give Donna an idea of how many to expect by purchasing your ticket in advance on line at the TUNA Store or at Wasatch Touring or White Pine Touring. Advance tickets are $20 for adults and $10 for children under 12. At the door, tickets will be $25 for adults and $15 for children. We try to cover the food expenses with ticket sales, so that all profits from the silent auction can go to our Junior programs. If you have any auction items, please contact Steve Cook, TUNA Head Coach at slcskier [at] gmail [dot] com Please be generous with your bids in the auction. Yes, we have a fun evening, but it really is about the kids!
Volunteers are especially important in making this event a success. Some specific needs are organizing appetizers, baking cookies, baking potatoes, prepping salad ingredients, setting up tables and chairs, picking up grills, grilling salmon, clean up and more. Please contact Donna by cell: 435-729-0115 to volunteer. Or by e-mail dwstice [at] gmail [dot] com
I look forward to seeing you as we put the winter wax on our skies and consider how to maintain our fitness for the season to come. - - - Donna Wahoff-Stice

The time has come for the X30 Euro Series to get underway with practice already completed out in Salbris for round one of the X30 Euro Series. Junior X30 sees a grid of 50 drivers getting ready to fight it out compared to round one last year which saw just 15 on the grid. There's plenty to look forward to, but here at Kartingmagazine.com we've put together a list of our top five things.
1. The Brits prepare to land in France
There are 13 British drivers entered into round one of the championship including podium finishers at the Winter Cup Alex Lloyd and Cian Shields. In fact, at the winter Cup the Brits were dominant filling nine of the top ten positions! All have come back for a run at the championship and will be hard to stop. Lewis Gilbert has to be a one to watch for me, the Scot gained 13 places at the Winter Cup and if he starts higher up the grid on Sunday afternoon I think he may walk away the championship leader.
Full list of British drivers
Georgi Dimitrov
Tom Lebbon
Alicia Barrett
Lewis Gilbert
Zac Meakin
Josh Rowledge
Zach Ripley
Josh Rattican
Cian Shields
Luke Preston
Liam McNeilly
Alex Lloyd
Joshua McLean
2. Will Mari Boya be dominant in new territory?
Mari Boya was the star of the show at the X30 Winter Cup after he was successfully able to defend his title in the Junior class. Absent from last years championship Mari Boya will now enter new territory and will be down on experience racing at the Salbris circuit. With the home advantage now gone will Boya be as successful at round one?
3. Enzo Joulie: The home favourite
For anyone out there hoping for a French victory the driver most likely to do that is Enzo Joulie. Finishing 4th in last year's championship Enzo is the highest seed to return in 2018 and fell just shy of a podium last year. However, not being at the Winter Cup it's hard to know how he'll fare against the several new kids on the block, but if there's a track he's going to win at this season you'd expect Salbris to be it!
4. Luca Leistra – The one to watch
An exciting new addition to the grid this season is Belgium's Luca Leistra. Luca was the Vice Champion in the BNL Karting Series last year in Junior Max and then went on to finish 3rd at the Rotax Max Challenge Grand Finals. His performances have led him to be selected to represent Belgium at this year's CIK-FIA Karting Academy Trophy and his switch to the Dan Holland Racing Team makes him one of my championship favourites.
5. Can Fusion Motorsport repeat success of 2017?
Fusion Motorsport were the team to win in Junior X30 at Salbris last year with Angus Moulsdale winning the final on his way to taking the championship. This year they come into round one with a strong line-up which includes Georgi Dimitrov, Dilano Van't Hoff, Maximus Mayer, Alicia Barrett, Joshua McLean and Alex Ivanov. If there were a teams championship I couldn't imagine them getting beaten.

Hi there! I've finally found time to write.
The middle of the year has been a whirlwind for me. My grand vacation/futile job hunt finally came to an end, but that required me to haul myself out of our family's nest and move to the other side of the country. It was exciting, stressful, lonely and draining all at once. My last three nights in California were literally sleepless.
I almost backed out because I had no one to drive with me, but at the right timing, my dad offered to take me there and unprepared I was, off we went.
Here's our journey in pictures.
The trip was very meaningful for me for a lot of reasons: it's a dad-and me quality time; my dad got to travel and see the rest of the US which he always wanted; and before he went back home, he left me with quiet but sure confidence that I'll be able to handle myself. It felt appropriate that he was the one who brought me here to the US, and he was the one who brought me to my new place.
Almost two months in, I've come to handle homesickness better and grow ever more grateful by the day for this season God put me in.

The movie they think they're making... isn't a movie anymore.
Vietnam veteran "Four Leaf" Tayback's memoir, Tropic Thunder, is being made into a film. Director Damien Cockburn can't control the cast of prima donnas. Behind schedule and over budget, Cockburn is ordered by a studio executive to get filming back on track, or risk its cancellation. On Tayback's advice, Cockburn drops the actors into the middle of the jungle to film the remaining scenes. Unbeknownst to the actors and production, the group have been dropped in the middle of the Golden Triangle, the home of heroin-producing gangs.

COLUMBUS — The Ohio Attorney General's Office rejected the petition for a proposed amendment to the Ohio Constitution which would legalize marijuana in Ohio.
On April 9th, the Ohio Attorney General's Office received a written petition to amend the Ohio Constitution, entitled the "Marijuana Rights and Regulations Amendment" from the attorney representing the petitioning committee. The summary was rejected for several reasons, including:
The summary language giving the General Assembly authority to regulate "marijuana commerce" does not accurately reflect the actual amendment language.
The summary omits references in the amendment that "Marijuana businesses shall be lawful only in those voting precincts in which the majority of the voters approved this section."
The summary omits references in the amendment that "The General Assembly shall within 240 days after the effective date enact and enable laws, rules, and regulations consistent with this section."
"For these reasons, I am unable to certify the summary as a fair and truthful statement of the proposed amendment," Ohio Attorney General Mike DeWine stated in his letter rejecting the petition. "However, I must caution that this letter is not intended to represent an exhaustive list of all defects in the submitted summary."
In order for a constitutional amendment to proceed, an initial petition containing summary language of the amendment and 1,000 signatures from Ohio registered voters must be submitted to the Ohio Attorney General. Once the summary language and initial signatures are certified, the Ohio Ballot Board would determine if the amendment contains a single issue or multiple issues. The petitioners must then collect signatures for each issue from registered voters in each of 44 of Ohio's 88 counties, equal to 5 percent of the total vote cast in the county for the office of governor at the last gubernatorial election. Total signatures collected statewide must also equal 10 percent of the total vote cast for the office of governor at the last gubernatorial election.
The full text of the letter and of the initiative petitions submitted can be found at www.OhioAttorneyGeneral.gov/Petitions.
Eight Arrested in Undercover Operation Aimed at Reducing Demand for Sex Trafficking
WARREN — Ohio Attorney General Mike DeWine and Warren Police Chief Eric Merkel announced April 19 that an undercover operation aimed at reducing demand for sex trafficking has led to the arrests of eight men, including one suspect who investigators believe was allegedly attempting to recruit an undercover officer into the sex trade.
The suspects were taken into custody yesterday as part of an investigation by the Warren Police Department and Mahoning Valley Human Trafficking Task Force, which is part of Ohio Attorney General DeWine's Ohio Organized Crime Investigations Commission.
The eight suspects were arrested after investigators said the men responded to online advertisements placed by law enforcement. The suspects allegedly exchanged messages with an undercover officer and arrived at a location in Warren expecting a sexual encounter for-hire with an adult female.
"This investigation shows that the demand for sex trafficking is still being fueled by people looking to purchase sex through online sites," said Attorney General DeWine. "My office and our partners in law enforcement will continue to aggressively monitor websites and applications where sex is being marketed and intend to hold those buying and selling sex – and the websites that host sex-trafficking ads – accountable."
"Warren Police will continue its online presence to investigate those who come into the City and contemplate similar bad acts as those arrested in this recent sting," said Warren Police Chief Eric Merkel. "We will continue to partner with the Ohio Attorney General's Office and the Mahoning Valley Human Trafficking Task Force to deter these types of individuals from committing their crimes in Warren."
Lamont Davis, 20, of Warren, was arrested on felony charges of promoting prostitution (F4) and possession of criminal tools (F5) after investigators said he made statements to an undercover officer allegedly in an attempt to recruit the officer to work with him in the sex trade.
Joseph Tennant, 44, of Youngstown, was charged with promoting prostitution (F4), possession of criminal tools (F5), and solicitation (M3) after he allegedly attempted to purchase sex for himself and for a friend.
The following six suspects were arrested on charges of possession of criminal tools and/or solicitation:
Dain Bancroft, 55, Mineral Ridge: Solicitation (M3), possession of criminal tools (M1)
Patrick Cassidy, 54, Hubbard: Solicitation (M3), possession of criminal tools (M1)
Jay Barbe, 55, West Farmington: Solicitation (M3)
Phillip Salus, 50, Salineville: Solicitation (M3), possession of criminal tools, (M1)
Donald Lingenfelter, 48, Sharon, Pennsylvania: Solicitation (M3), possession of criminal tools (M1)
Bryan Calai, 35, Warren: Solicitation (M3), possession of criminal tools (M1)
The Mahoning Valley Human Trafficking Task Force includes investigators from the Mahoning County Sheriff's Office, Ohio Attorney General DeWine's Bureau of Criminal Investigation Crimes Against Children Unit, Warren Police Department, Austintown Police Department, New Middletown Police Department, Ohio Adult Parole Authority, and Ohio State Highway Patrol. Authorities with the Warren Law Director's Office, Trumbull County Sheriff's Office, Howland Police Department, and Ohio Investigative Unit assisted with the investigation.
Ohio Woman Indicted for Forgery, Theft from Elderly Victim
LONDON — Ohio Attorney General Mike DeWine announced that a London, Ohio, woman is now facing felony charges following an investigation conducted as part of his Elder Justice Initiative.
Ashley Muncie, 33, was indicted by a Madison County grand jury on charges of forgery and theft, both felonies of the fourth degree.
Muncie is accused of forging more than $6,000 in checks belonging to an elderly West Jefferson man between November 2012 and April 2013. The victim suffered from dementia.
"The victim in this case trusted the defendant, but our investigation found that the trust was built on nothing but deception," said Attorney General DeWine. "The suspect allegedly helped herself to his checking account, and these charges are the first step in holding her accountable for these crimes."
The case is being prosecuted by attorneys with Attorney General DeWine's Special Prosecutions Section. Special agents with the Ohio Attorney General's Bureau of Criminal Investigation investigated the case as part of Attorney General DeWine's Elder Justice Initiative.
Attorney General DeWine launched the Elder Justice Initiative in 2014 to increase the investigation and prosecution of elder abuse cases and improve victims' access to services in Ohio. Anyone who suspects incidents of elder abuse or financial exploitation should contact their local authorities or the Ohio Attorney General's Elder Justice Initiative at 1-800-282-0515.
Warning signs of elder abuse include:
- Changes in an older adult's physical appearance, such as weight loss or unexplained bruising or bleeding
- Changes in an older adult's personality or mood
- Changes in an older adult's finances or money management
- A dominating, threatening caregiver or new "best friend"
- Exclusion from other family members or friends
- Changes in an older adult's home environment
Planned Parenthood statement
COLUMBUS — Ohio Attorney General Mike DeWine issued the following statement regarding last week's ruling in Planned Parenthood of Greater Ohio v. Hodges:
"After reviewing the Sixth Circuit panel decision, the Ohio Attorney General's office will request en banc review. Nothing in the Constitution requires Ohio to use its funding discretion under these programs to support abortion providers, and we will appeal to the full Sixth Circuit."

Bacterial Respiratory Infection: Pertussis & Tuberculosis
Team Leader:
Camille LOCHT
Dr. Camille Locht holds currently a position as Research Director at the French National Institute of Health and Medical Research (Inserm) and, since 2010, is the founding director of the Center for Infection and Immunity of Lille on the campus of the Institut Pasteur de Lille in France. He has obtained his PhD at the Catholic University of Leuven in Belgium in 1984. After a 3-years post-doctoral stay at the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Disease in the USA, where he started to work on pertussis and cloned the pertussis toxin genes, he joined SmithKline – Beecham (now GSK) to help developing acellular pertussis vaccines. Since 1989 he is the head of a research laboratory at the Institut Pasteur de Lille, where he has been the Scientific Director from 2002 to 2013. His research interest is in molecular pathogenesis of respiratory infections, essentially pertussis and tuberculosis, with the long-term aim to develop new tools to combat these diseases. A very powerful molecular typing system for mycobacteria, invented in his laboratory has already reached the market, and a live attenuated nasal pertussis vaccine developed in his laboratory has now successfully completed phase I clinical trials and is currently in clinical development. He also has discovered a protective mycobacterial latency antigen, called heparin-binding haemagglutinin (HBHA), which is now in late stage pre-clinical development as an anti-tuberculosis vaccine candidate. He has authored more than 300 international publications, book chapters and patents and has obtained several research awards.
The research activity is focused on the molecular pathogenesis of bacterial respiratory infections, especially pertussis and tuberculosis, two important global public health problems. The objectives of the team are (i) to study the molecular details of the pathogenic mechanisms of Bordetella pertussis and Mycobacterium tuberculosis and (ii) to use this knowledge to develop novel approaches for better vaccines, therapeutics and diagnostics. Our research represents a bi-directional continuum from basic science to applications and clinical investigations. Since the bacterial cell envelope constitutes the pathogen's interface with the host, the study of the M. tuberculosis and B. pertussis cell envelope is one major area of our research. The second area concerns the transcriptomic and genomic adaptation of the two pathogens to their environment. Finally, the third area corresponds to the translational aspects of our research, in an effort to help developing new vaccines, new antibiotics and new diagnostics.
