Isolated from the ovary of a Chinese hamster in the 1950s, the Chinese hamster ovary (CHO) cell has become the bedrock of the biopharmaceutical industry. With a projected value of $386.9 billion by the end of 2019, it is the fastest growing sector in Ireland and makes up ~50% of Irish exports per annum.[embedyt] http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qaPIXvmPgGI[/embedyt]
Ireland has now placed itself as the international home for pharmaceutical companies with 9 of the 10 leading biopharmaceuticals having manufacturing sites here. The Irish Development Authority (IDA) constantly showcases the leadership the emerald isle possess in biopharmaceutical drug production with companies like Bristol-Meyers Squibb (BMS) investing a further $900 million at their site in Cruiserath in Blanchardstown. This is an exciting area of research to be involved in and as so, I am involved in various research programmes which have real translational impact on the current climate of bio-manufacturing.
The industry is under constant pressure to evolve and develop novel therapies for the treatment of various diseases such as rheumatoid arthritis and cancer. CHO cells have become such a key player in the production of recombinant biotherapeutic proteins because of the complex, human-like, post-translation modifications added to the protein during its synthesis which ensures high drug activity and low immunogenicity. This mammalian cell line has served the biopharmaceutical industry for the past 3 decades and because so has earned itself a good track record for safety with the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) and the European Medicines Agency (EMA).
CHO Group, NICB, DCU
The Mammalian Cell Engineering group under Director Dr. Niall Barron at the National Institute for Cellular Biotechnology (NICB) located in Dublin City University focuses its research on improving the performance of CHO cells for the production of biopharmaceuticals.[embedyt] http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cyPV-GFYh18[/embedyt]
With the increase in the incidence of various diseases such as cancer and the swift development of novel therapies moving through clinical trials, the biopharmaceutical industry is met with a bottleneck in relation to meeting the global demand for certain drug products and keeping up with emerging products, given the extensive time lines associated with cell line development. Despite g/L yields being routinely achieved, CHO cells are grown in vast 10,000 litre bioreactors to ensure that product demand is met. The sheer scale of these manufacturing facilities bring with it a high cost of production for these therapeutic drugs and as a consequence, the cost of these life-saving therapies is high.
Engi-miRs – microRNA-based CHO cell engineering
One area of particular interest in the mammalian cell engineering group is microRNA (miRNA or miRs) and their potential as engineering tools to genetically modify CHO cells to alter and improve their bioprocessing traits such as growth, ability to survive longer and production capacity. miRNAs are attractive molecular tools as they are small non-coding RNAs which have the capacity to regulate entire pathways through simultaneous target interaction. This regulation is at the post-transcriptional level thereby inhibiting protein translation and the viability of miRNAs as "engi-miRs" has grown over the last few years (see Review from our group). The non-coding nature of miRNAs minimises the translational burden on the protein producing CHO cell allowing for cellular resources to be committed to protein drug production.[embedyt] http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tb_wZJSN4yY[/embedyt]
Two miRNAs have gained considerable interest by industry, miR-7 and miR-23. Both of these miRNAs, when depleted using a microRNA sponge construct where observed to prolong cell survival and product yield in the case of miR-7 and triple product yield in the case of miR-23. DECOY-7 was developed at the NICB, culminating in a multitude of primary research articles which showcase its utility as an attractive engineering target for improving CHO cell production characteristics. Since its development, we've had considerable interest from industrial manufacturers such as our strong collaboration with Biogen Idec from Boston, Massachusetts.

Single-use plastic reactors – Remodelling the Biopharmaceutical industry
The Mammalian Cell Engineering Group strives to adapt to meet the current needs of the biopharmaceutical industry. The Irish Pharmaceutical Healthcare Association (IPHA) plays a key role in driving translational and targeted research programmes in the pharmaceutical industry to meet Ireland's growing healthcare needs. As part of a Science Foundation Ireland (SFI)-funded collaboration in association with the Synthesis and Solid-State Pharmaceutical Centre (SSPC), I am part of a dedicated research team exploring the potential risks associated with single-use plastic bioreactors. There is considerable interest in the biopharmaceutical industry to move away from the use of large 10,000 litre stainless steel bioreactors which are costly to initially build and subsequently clean between production runs and adopt the use of smaller scale disposable plastic bioreactor bags.
Reservations for full implementation of these systems however ripple throughout the industry because of potential toxic leachable compounds from these polyethylene-based films that can contaminate the bioprocess posing a risk to both the process itself or the patient. One such reported leachate is bis(2,4-di-tert-butylphenyl)-phosphate (bDtBPP) which we have characterised to reduce CHO cell growth by 50% at concentrations as low as 0.035-0.1 mg/L in a recent Biotechnology Progress publication.
This observation is significant because it has previously been shown that this concentration can leach over the course of a bioreactor run which can open the bioprocess to risk in relation to considerably reducing the yield of therapeutic protein produced. Working in concert with our academic collaborators in the National Institute for Bioprocessing Research and Training (NIBRT) and Trinity College Dublin (TCD) and with support from our seven industry partners (Allergan Pharmaceutical Ireland, BioMarin Manufacturing Ireland Ltd., Eli Lilly and Company, Genzyme Ireland Ltd. – A Sanofi Company, Janssen Biologics, Merck Sharp & Dohme (MSD), Pfizer Ireland Pharmaceuticals), this project aims to fully characterise the risks, if any, associated with disposable bioreactors which will settle any concerns related to their safety and allow for the widespread adoption of this technology within the biopharmaceutical industry.
The Next-Generation of production cells
Whole genome sequencing has come a long way since the release of the human genome which cost a staggering $3 billion and 13 years to complete. Now, entire genomes can be sequenced for as little as €1,000 in just a few days making this technology more accessible to academic research groups like ours.
(Reproduced from the NIH National Human Genome Research Institute)
Sequencing efforts in the biopharmaceutical research community have performed whole genome sequencing using next-generation platforms such as Illumina. This has unveiled vast differences in the genomic landscape across various CHO cell lines revealing mutational differences in genes related to glycosylation and cell death, traits of particular importance within CHO cell biology and recombinant protein production.
We have undertaken a project in collaboration with Dr. Colin Clarke at the National Institute for Bioprocessing Research and Training (NIBRT) to identify genetic differences in the mitochondrial DNA of a panel of CHO cell lines. The mitochondria itself is the epicentre of cellular energy production and mitochondrial disruption can be a source of disease. The mitochondria is a cellular organelle which arose around 3 billion years ago through a symbiotic relationship with bacteria. As a result the mitochondria carries its own DNA template separate from nuclear DNA. This study has revealed widespread heteroplasmy throughout the CHO cell mitochondrial genome i.e. multiple mitochondrial DNA copies per CHO cell, each of which have unique genetic differences. This work will be used to identify CHO clones whose energy capacity best suit them for biopharmaceutical therapeutic production. We have also published the first Chinese Hamster Mitochondrial reference sequence, thereby making it available to the scientific community. I have won a bursary to present this work at the upcoming ESACT-UK conference this January in Oxford where leaders in the animal cell culture community meet to discuss the most recent innovations and promising directives in the field.
Biopharmaceutical drug production is a continuously evolving field with more advanced and complex therapies being developed. To keep up with this pipeline, a better understanding of the host CHO cell line is critical to ensure the efficient production of these emerging sophisticated therapeutic proteins. The CHO group at NICB is a multidisciplinary group comprised of post-doctoral and post-graduate researchers in the areas of molecular cell biology, cell engineering, proteomic analysis, transcriptomic analysis and sequencing capabilities. We have a long standing relationships with academic collaborators both nationally and internationally in addition to strong ties to industry. As a centre of excellence and innovation, the CHO group in the NICB under the leadership of Director Dr. Niall Barron strives to understand the biological mechanics of the hardest working cell on the planet.

Charles Krauthammer, the iconic conservative commentator and Fox News contributor, sent a message Monday updating his fans about his health - and it's very good news.
Here's what he said
Bret Baier read the short statement Monday from Krauthammer on Fox News.
"An update that many of you have been waiting for," Baier said, "and I mean many of you. Panel regular now months ago Charles Krauthammer sent me a very nice email this afternoon and he said I could share some of the very good news about his recovery from multiple surgeries."
"The worst now appears to be behind me," the statement from Krauthammer read, "and I'm finally getting back on track with the rebab schedule that will eventually get me home."
Krauthammer had been gone from the Fox News panel since September when he underwent surgery. While the surgery was successful, he suffered setbacks during his recovery, and that has kept him from resuming his position at the conservative news channel.
"The whole staff here at Special Report is behind you Charles, we're hoping and praying for no more setbacks, and a speedy recovery," said Baier.
A meaningful honor
Baier added that Krauthammer was to honored Monday evening at the Israeli embassy in Washington D.C. for his "uniquely valuable contribution to Israel or its alliance with the United States."
"Charles said the honor is especially meaningful to him on this day, the day the U.S. embassy officially moves to Jerusalem," Baier added. Krauthammer's son will receive the award in his place.
Here's the video from Fox News:

Value Proposition: A Critical Part of Your Small Business' Marketing Strategy
When it comes to marketing your small business, there's no shortage of methods, techniques, or tricks to try. Each marketing method such as content marketing, social media marketing, online advertising, email marketing, and more come with their own success stories and can help a business improve its bottom line, reach audiences, and grow overall. However, different marketing methods work for different companies.
Whichever method, or combination of methods, you choose, there's one marketing strategy that should come before you purse a marketing method. Regardless of industry, size, or customer base, establishing a value proposition is a critical first step for your small business in order to better reach your customers and prospects.
What is a Value Proposition?
A value proposition is a statement that describes who your company is, how your products/services can solve or improve your customers' problems, benefits your customers can expect, and why your customers should choose your small business over a competitor's. In essence, a value proposition explains what your small business has to offer a prospective customer.
How Can You Use a Value Proposition?
Unlike the marketing methods mentioned above, a value proposition can and should be weaved into all marketing materials, across all platforms. However, an effective value proposition goes beyond messaging. It should also be weaved into how your small business interacts with customers and the decisions you make in order to promote a unified message and overall goal for your company.
How Do You Develop a Value Proposition?
Creating your company's value proposition takes time, research, and input from multiple stakeholders throughout the company.
First, you'll want to gather insights and identify your customers' needs to find out what products and services your target audience would consider valuable. Next, consider doing some competitor recon to find out what your competitors are claiming as their value propositions. This will help you set yourself apart or develop ways of distinguishing your small business on valuable services or products that your competitors also offer. Then, evaluate and work through all of this information to help develop a single statement incorporating your customers' needs and what sets your small business apart. Finally, get to work incorporating this messaging into your content, emails, online ads, social media strategy, and every customer interaction.
For more information on developing your small business' value proposition, or to learn more about our marketing services, contact us today!

Dawn Dawson-House, executive director of the WeGOJA Foundation, at the African American Monument on the S.C. State House grounds.
Photo by Milton Morris
Dawn Dawson-House
Claim to fame: She recently accepted the job of executive director at the WeGOJA Foundation (wegoja.org) after a long career in communications with the South Carolina Department of Parks, Recreation and Tourism.
Alma mater: Graduated from the University of South Carolina in 1985 with a degree in journalism. "I thought I was going to be the next Oprah Winfrey, but got out into the real world and realized I couldn't pay rent."
Favorite state park: Landsford Canal State Park in Catawba with its "gently tumbling" whitewater and fields of rocky shoals spider lilies. "It's a beautiful sight."
Time to unwind: Enjoys Mexican food and spending time with friends and family. She and her husband of 26 years, William House, who works with the S.C. Attorney General's office, are planning a train trip through the Canadian countryside.
As a child growing up in the Lowcountry, Dawn Dawson-House enjoyed learning about the exploits of African American history makers, including South Carolina civil rights leader Rev. Joseph DeLaine and Robert Smalls, a former slave who represented the Palmetto State for five terms in Congress. Those lessons were learned at the family dinner table as well as at church and other social gatherings around her hometown.
"The community of Beaufort won't let you forget that African American history is important," Dawson-House said. "Our teachers, our families, our festivals and events, you were surrounded by African American heritage. I found it interesting because it spoke to us."
Since January, Dawson-House has been the executive director of the WeGOJA Foundation, a nonprofit working to document and promote African American heritage sites throughout South Carolina. Pronounced we-GO-juh, the name is an acronym of principled words from the Yoruba and Wolof languages spoken by the people of western Africa who were brought to the Carolina colony and enslaved.
That work is done through historical markers, listings on the National Register of Historic Places and entries in The Green Book of South Carolina online travel guide (greenbookofsc.com). Teacher guides are provided for instructors, and a Family Reunion Toolkit was launched in April to encourage the large number of African American families who gather in South Carolina to incorporate historic site visits in their weekends.
Dawson-House, who spent nearly 25 years in public relations for the S.C. Department of Parks, Recreation and Tourism, believes there's no time like the present to embrace the stories of our past.
"The more we can share the story, the more we can convert interest into advocacy, and advocacy into activism, we can start telling our true story better," she says. "It's not just for tourism, but for the public's full understanding and appreciation of history."

Where to watch Pick UK Live
About the channel
Pick is a British free-to-air television channel, owned by Sky UK.
The channel was originally launched in 2005 as Sky Three. It was essentially a "shop window" service for Sky's main entertainment channel Sky One and its other subscription services, which served to "offer digital terrestrial viewers the opportunity to enjoy a wide variety of popular programmes from Sky". From its launch on 1 November 2005 until 24 June 2010, the channel carried Sky Travel's commercial presentations selling holiday deals for a number of providers.
In recent years[when?], the number of well known Sky One shows being shown on Pick TV has declined. The channel is well known for airing repeats of Road Wars and Airline whilst other shows such as Coach Trip and It's Me or the Dog are also shown regularly, the closure of Sky Real Lives responsible for the increase in lifestyle programming. The number of American shows airing on the channel has declined rapidly[citation needed], with Prison Break the last major US Sky One drama to be shown on the channel in 2010.
In May 2012, Pick TV started broadcasting some older Sky One and Sky Living shows, and the former Channel One and Bravo shows.

Most Oxford, Mississippi residents used to think their local writer, William Faulkner, made their town look bad in his stories. Minds changed when he won the Nobel Prize in 1949. Today, the small town is commemorating the 50th anniversary of Faulkner's death with events including a day-long, tag team reading of his novel "The Reivers" at his antebellum home, Rowan Oak. His penciled notes for the novel "A Fable" are still legible on the walls of his downstairs office.
Despite the delta's stifling humidity, Faulkner didn't care for artificially contrived interiors. The day after Faulkner died his wife had an air conditioner installed in her upstairs bedroom. Today, visitors of Rowan Oak (25,000 a year) can pace the floors of the Greek Revivial as he did but without breaking a sweat.

- Real estate technology firm Compass says it's getting an investment of $450 million from the SoftBank Vision Fund.
- The infusion from the $93 billion venture vehicle brings Compass' total capital raise to $775 million.
Real estate technology firm Compass announced on Thursday it's getting an investment of $450 million from the SoftBank Vision Fund.
The infusion from the $93 billion venture vehicle — whose backers include the Japanese conglomerate SoftBank and Saudi Arabia's sovereign wealth fund — brings Compass' total capital raise to $775 million.
Other Compass investors include Goldman Sachs, outgoing American Express CEO Ken Chenault, Salesforce CEO Marc Benioff, and major property developer The LeFrak Organization, run by billionaire Richard LeFrak.
Robert Reffkin, co-founder and CEO at Compass, told CNBC shortly after the announcement that the company is much more than a real estate company because it's "powering the best of technology."
"Compass is on the path to be the largest owner of real estate data, globally, and the No. 1 real estate technology company in the world," Reffkin said on "Squawk Box."
"We have our own in-house technology team that's building an end-to-end platform for agents to run and manage every part of their business," he said. "Is Amazon a store? Is Tesla a car? I think that distinction is getting a little fuzzier."
Reffkin was chief of staff to Gary Cohn when Cohn was the No. 2 executive at Goldman. Cohn is currently a top economic advisor to President Donald Trump as director of the National Economic Council.

Here's what's next for East Jefferson hospital after voters approved sale to LCMC Health | Health care/Hospitals
With resounding voter approval this weekend for their purchase of East Jefferson General Hospital, LCMC Health officials now face the task of turning around the fortunes of a venerable Metairie institution that had slid towards financial insolvency in a shifting New Orleans health care market.
For years, the 420-bed east bank public hospital has won praise for the quality of its care while at the same time earning demerits for its grim financial situation. While other area hospitals joined larger networks, at East Jefferson losses crept into the millions of dollars per year and its bondholders threatened foreclosure if a private operator or purchaser couldn't be found.
Into that grim scenario stepped New Orleans-based nonprofit hospital operator LCMC Health, armed with an influx of cash and a strategic playbook it has used in other similar deals, such as those for New Orleans East Hospital, University Medical Center and West Jefferson Medical Center. The latter is Jefferson Parish's other public hospital, which LCMC leased in a deal that closed in 2015.
LCMC also operates Children's Hospital and Touro Infirmary.
The continued expansion has helped LCMC and Chief Executive Greg Feirn compete with Ochsner Health System and its ever-growing network of doctors and hospitals. The purchase of East Jefferson, which could close as soon as Sept. 30, would help extend LCMC's strategy of allowing its community hospitals to provide general care while also serving as a source of patients for its specialists.
And while operational changes are likely to take place behind the scenes, executives on Monday sought to assure patients and residents that there will be no disruption in the quality of care.
"They will still see the same team that they have seen before," EJGH Chief Executive Gerald Parton said of patients who come to the hospital. "We have worked hard with insurance companies to make sure there is no change in coverage."
Similar efforts are underway to create a smooth transition for employees, he said. LCMC has pledged to retain the hospital's staff. Employees won't have to fill out applications to work in the new company; just a single form giving LCMC permission to access their records will be needed, Parton said.
For Jefferson Parish, closing the sale allows officials to remove a financial albatross. In return for the hospital, the terms of the deal require LCMC Health to kick in $90 million that will be combined with EJGH's current reserves, which included $81 million in cash and short-term investments at the end of last year. The total will be used to pay off $135 million in bonds and will also go towards funding $50 million in pension obligations.
LCMC Health has also promised to spend $100 million in capital improvements over the next five years.
Once the deal is officially closed, LCMC officials will begin meeting in earnest with EJGH's medical staff and officers about what projects should be done first, said Feirn. Some of the money will be spent on technology upgrades and long-deferred maintenance. LCMC leaders will also sit down with officials from EJGH to figure out where the remainder can be best spent, he said.
The goal will be to maintain a high quality of care while finding ways to trim costs that weren't available to EJGH as a standalone hospital. For instance, Parton said in February that moving one of EJGH's information systems to LCMC's subscription would save several million dollars per year.
If there was any doubt about the public's support of the plan, that was erased on Saturday. East bank voters in Jefferson Parish approved it by a historic margin, with "no" votes adding up to around 1,500, or 5% of the nearly 31,000 votes cast.
Given that there had been no significant organized opposition, voter approval of the deal was not a surprise. But the margin was, said Feirn.
"That had me smiling from ear to ear," he said. "To me, the 95% said we have a lot of confidence in the team at East Jefferson and at LCMC Health."
By a huge margin, voters on the east bank of Jefferson Parish approved the long-sought sale of East Jefferson General Hospital, a venerable Me…
Jefferson Parish Councilwoman Jennifer Van Vrancken, whose district includes EJGH and who has been one of the deal's main champions, said the large margin was a gratifying sight.
"This was truly a mandate," she said.
The vote is the culmination of years of effort by parish government to divest itself of the hospital. It was first offered as part of a package deal with West Jefferson Medical Center nearly a decade ago.
In 2015, LCMC closed a deal to lease only the west bank hospital for around $500 million in rent and capital improvements. That left EJGH struggling in a market crowded with larger competitors. In 2018, talks with Nashville-based hospital operator HCA Healthcare Inc. broke down. Soon after, LCMC stepped in and began talks that were kept quiet until earlier this year, when the hospital's board approved the deal.
Jefferson Parish is facing one of the most important elections in its history in August. The voters will decide on the future of East Jefferso…

New study 'could lead to treatment for delaying menopause'
A new study could potentially lead to scientists coming up with ways to extend a woman's years of fertility.
Monash University and Prince Henry's Institute of Medical Research (PHI) recently discovered that egg cells in the ovaries can die as a result of proteins called PUMA and NOXA.
Findings published in Molecular Cell found that removing these proteins could potentially help to safeguard a woman's fertility after undergoing cancer treatment.
However, Professor Jock Findlay of PHI believes it could also unlock the key to delaying the onset of menopause.
"The timing of menopause is influenced by how many egg cells a female has," he commented.
Professor Findlay said interventions that slow down the loss of egg cells from a woman's ovaries can delay premature menopause and therefore extend fertility.
He added that a treatment devised as a result of the findings could potentially help to reduce health conditions associated with the change, including heart disease and osteoporosis.

In an unprecedented move, the Prime Minister suspended all sporting events in the Lombardy and Veneto region due to the Coronavirus scare, including Inter-Sampdoria, Verona-Cagliari and Atalanta-Sassuolo.
The announcement was made by PM Giuseppe Conte in a very late press conference on Saturday evening.
"Minister of Sport Vincenzo Spadafora intends to suspend all sporting events planned for Sunday in the Veneto and Lombardy regions."
It had already been announced on Saturday that 42 matches in the amateur and youth leagues had been called off, while Serie B fixture Ascoli v Cremonese was also postponed.
Now the situation has degenerated rapidly and three Serie A games planned for Sunday have been cancelled.

Years ago a customer picked up a roll of film from a lab I ran. After looking at the pictures, she complained parts of the pictures were out of focus. I examined the pictures and saw they were of teenagers in a field with a horse. Some of the kids were further back while others were in front of the area of focus which caused some of them to be out of focus. I tried to explain to the woman in simple terms that this problem was because of the photographer. She said the pictures were taken by her brother-in-law who 'was a great photographer'. She proceeded to tell me that I must have done something to cause the pictures to be blurry. Again I tried to explain in non- technical terms that the problem happened at the time of exposure. She didn't want to believe me so I said something like this "Mam the problem with the images is called depth of field. The photographer was focused on one spot but because the aperture on his lens was too wide open the plane of focus was too shallow causing everything in front of and behind the focus plane to be out of focus." She gave me a blank stare…
Have you ever seen a photograph and noticed everything in front of and behind the subject were out of focus? Did you wonder how it happened? This technique is called Depth of Field. It is something good photographers do on purpose. If you aren't aware of this concept in photography it is easy to get a partially blurry or out of focus image. Hold your index finger out in front of you at arms length. Now focus on your finger, notice how everything behind your finger is out of focus. Now focus out past your finger and your finger will be out of focus. Depth of field works like that but has an added element, the aperture in the lens of your camera. The aperture controls what is sharp in front of and behind the plane of focus.
Exposure in your camera is made up of three different things. The ISO at which your camera is set, the shutter speed, and the aperture opening size in the lens.
ISO is a setting on your camera that will increase or decrease the CCD's sensitivity to light. If you grew up with film, ISO and ASA are the same thing. ASA is the speed of the film 100, 200, 400, 1000 and so forth. The lower the number the less sensitive the film or CCD is to light. Having the ISO set on your camera for the conditions you are going to shoot in is mandatory for getting a good exposure.
The shutter is a mechanism in front of the CCD that opens for a set duration of time depending on your camera settings. The shutter literally is like your eyelids. Close your eyes and now open them and close them again quickly like a blink in reverse. That is how the shutter works in the camera. The longer your eyes stay open the more you can see. With a camera, the longer the shutter stays open the longer the exposure will be and the more light can enter.
The aperture in the lens is just like the iris in your eye. Look in the mirror and notice how your iris is small if the lights are bright and larger if the lights are dim. Your eyes are compensating for the light by opening and closing your iris. The aperture in the lens of your camera does the same with one added feature. The smaller the aperture hole is, say f22, the more in focus everything in the image will be. The larger the aperture hole is, say f2.8, the more out of focus everything in front of and behind your focal plane or area of focus will be. Controlling depth of field is done by how large or small the aperture opening of the lens is.
Proper exposure is metered by the ISO sensitivity, and then a combination of shutter speed and aperture.
Let's look at a real world scenario of taking a picture and controlling the depth of field. In my image "Whoo are Youu" notice how sharp the young owl is, but how out of focus the background is. The ISO was at 400 because of the dim lighting in the forest. The shutter speed was 1/180th because I was hand holding the camera and I wanted to minimize blur. The aperture was at f6.7 to make sure the background would be out of focus. In this shot I was zoomed out to 200mm. I always manually meter my subjects so I have complete control over the process. With the ISO at 400 using the spot meter on my camera the owl metered at 1/180th of a second at f11. I purposely over exposed by about 1.5 stops to get the exposure I wanted and to decrease depth of field to make the background blurry. Had I shot at f11 the background would have been sharp and the exposure would not have been as good.
Controlling depth of field in this manner helps make the subject jump out of the image. In this case the young owl really stands out against the blurry back ground.
So after the blank stare the lady gave me, I gave her a short lesson on depth of field and how camera settings besides focus can cause parts of the image to be out of focus. She thanked me for the help and walked off still looking dazed. I had to chuckle to myself as I wondered what her brother-in-law was going to say about his blurry photographs.
Remember good photography isn't about luck, it is about skill and knowledge of how to capture your subject the way you want it to be recorded.
Happy Trails!!
Tomas W. Mitchell

GEORGIA Harrison has defended Love Island's Francesca after it emerged that she had called Caroline Flack a "dirty paedo".
Yesterday The Sun revealed that Love Island's newest girl cruelly tormented the 39-year-old host with the slur during a wild day out at Wireless festival.
But former Love Island star Georgia – who has known fellow Essex girl Fran for years – doesn't believe her pal would have said that.
She tweeted: "Honestly cannot imagine Fran saying anything like this she's one of the nicest girls I know and I've known her for years. She loves Caroline flack I'm so confused !!!!"
We revealed the shocking taunt came shortly after Caroline had split from her much-younger lover, Harry Styles, who was 17 while she was 31.
It was detailed in a 2012 tweet posted by Francesca's friend, Paigey Banks, who made the claims about her.
The post read: "Highligh of the dayyy seeing Caroline Flack and calling herrr a dirtyy pedo withhhh @francesca_allen hahaha."
The news is likely to make things awkward between the presenter and 23-year-old Francesca – who will be reunited for the first time since the verbal attack on the show.
A rep for Francesca told The Sun: "This was a historic tweet that has not come from Francesca directly.
"Francesca can't reply as she is in the villa but she would be mortified if she was judged based on the actions of a 16-year-old friend.
"She has a lot of respect for Caroline and is looking forward to meeting her."
Caroline wrote about an incident where she was called a "paedophile" while she was dating Harry in her autobiography, Storm In A C Cup.
She wrote: "It began to go wrong when Harry was pictured coming out of my house one morning. And once that was out, it was open season.
"After that, anyone could say anything. In the street people started shouting at me 'paedophile' and 'pervert'."
Defending their age gap, she added: "I've never felt I was much older than Harry. I still feel 18 and I probably act that way half the time.
"Although it was just a bit of fun we decided it was best to keep it to ourselves as we were both working for Simon Cowell."
FLACK ATTACKED Love Island's Francesca called Caroline Flack a 'dirty paedo' to her face
'secret' sex Love Island romps not shown on TV as bosses don't want to 'ruin their lives'
GREAT CHI-MISTRY Love Island's Arabella and Tom could return to villa as a COUPLE
Caroline and Harry struck up a relationship through The X Factor, when she was co-host of the Xtra Factor spin-off show and he was in One Direction.
The group, who were signed to Simon's label, had come third on the show the previous year and were on their way to global stardom.
Francesca has only been in the villa for three days, but has already caught the eye of Curtis Pritchard and Ovie Soko.
Her interest in the ballroom dancer has put her on a collision course with Maura Higgins, particularly after she chose to couple up with him last night.

By Brother Michel Lankford
A brother in the Lord asked the question: "Is it good to brag about your knowledge of God."
The short answer: It can be BOTH good and bad.
On the one hand, the answer would be, "YES!" In fact Scripture says that if you're going to brag about anything, you should boast that you know God, and that you understand what He likes. At the same time, we should proceed with GREAT CAUTION.
As It is Written: Thus says the Lord , "Let not a wise man boast of his wisdom, and let not the mighty man boast of his might, let not a rich man boast of his riches; but let him who boasts boast of this, that he understands and knows Me, that I am the Lord who exercises lovingkindness, justice and righteousness on earth; for I delight in these things," declares the Lord.(Jeremiah 9:23-24 NASB)
Every Blessing Comes with Responsibilities
The reason we should be cautious is because, OTHER Kingdom Laws also come into play here. Remember, that it is Kingdom Law; there is NO such thing as having any blessings; or having any rights, or having any privileges, or having any authority; without ALSO having responsibilities being attached to them. Any knowledge that you have; any privileges you have; any rights that you have; or any authority that you have in of God's Kingdom, also comes with specific responsibilities attached. People who try to use blessings of rights and privileges in God's Kingdom, but who refuse the corresponding responsibilities attached to those rights, are considered to be WICKED. It is considered a mark of evil to want the blessings and benefits of a position, without being accountable for the corresponding responsibilities of that position. (I.e. and unjust steward or caretaker for example).
To Whom Much is Given More Will be Required
As It Is Written: ""Let your waist be girded and your lamps burning; and you yourselves be like men who wait for their master, when he will return from the wedding, that when he comes and knocks they may open to him immediately. Blessed are those servants whom the master, when he comes, will find watching. Assuredly, I say to you that he will gird himself and have them sit down to eat, and will come and serve them. And if he should come in the second watch, or come in the third watch, and find them so, blessed are those servants. But know this, that if the master of the house had known what hour the thief would come, he would have watched and not allowed his house to be broken into. Therefore you also be ready, for the Son of Man is coming at an hour you do not expect." Then Peter said to Him, "Lord, do You speak this parable only to us, or to all people?" And the Lord said, "Who then is that faithful and wise steward, whom his master will make ruler over his household, to give them their portion of food in due season? Blessed is that servant whom his master will find so doing when he comes. Truly, I say to you that he will make him ruler over all that he has. But if that servant says in his heart, 'My master is delaying his coming,' and begins to beat the male and female servants, and to eat and drink and be drunk, the master of that servant will come on a day when he is not looking for him, and at an hour when he is not aware, and will cut him in two and appoint him his portion with the unbelievers. And that servant who knew his master's will, and did not prepare himself or do according to his will, shall be beaten with many stripes. But he who did not know, yet committed things deserving of stripes, shall be beaten with few. For everyone to whom much is given, from him much will be required; and to whom much has been committed, of him they will ask the more.(Luke 12:35–48 NKJV)
You Can Brag About Knowing God
(Just be Prepared to Live Up to whatever You Brag)
The Weight of Biblical Evidence, (which is the practice of evaluating every situation based on what the majority of Scripture teaches, and on what Scripture teaches to be the weightier more important or critical matters); the Weight of Biblical Evidence clearly teaches that we will be judged not only on the basis of what we know and the position of authority that we held, but Scripture also tells us that we will be held accountable based on what we CLAIMED to know and any position that we CLAIMED to have, (e.g. James 3:1; Luke 12:48; James 4:15-17). In other words, if a person claims to be a biblical teacher, he will be judged more strictly than other believers, because he claims the right and authority to lead and teach younger believers. A person claiming to be a teacher will be judged by the biblical standards required from a teacher, regardless of whether God called him to be a teacher or not. Since he claimed the authority of the teacher, he would be judged according to the biblical standards required for a teacher. A person claiming to be a prophet will be judged according to the biblical standards required for a prophet, regardless of whether God has called and equipped them to be a prophet or not. The fact that they claim to be one means that they will be judged by God as if they were one.
It's basic Kingdom Law that every blessing, every privilege, every right, and every authority that we claim or that we try to exercise, also comes with its own level of responsibility, for which we will be held accountable and judged by God, for how well we used our position and authority. In God's Kingdom, there is no privilege that does not come with responsibilities attached.
If you want proof of what I'm saying, all you have to do is look carefully at all of the Kingdom parables that Messiah taught. What happened to people who had a responsibility and did not fulfill what the king required, desired, or expected from them? You will notice that it did not end well for such a person. (See e.g. Matthew 25:14-33: Matthew 22:1-14; Luke 12:35-48; Matthew 25:1-13). The point is, if you are going to claim that you have knowledge, or position, or authority or any certain right, realize that you will be judged according to the position or privilege that you claim.
The Evidence that I Know God is OBEYING God
My question to you would be this. How well, and how consistently, do you practice KEEPING the Commandments of YHWH Almighty God? How well, and how consistently do you practice KEEPING the Commandments of Messiah? The reason that I'm asking these CRUCIAL questions is that from the biblical point of view, knowing something is not about what you know in your head. From the Biblical viewpoint, what you DO is the PROOF of what you ACTUALLY KNOW. This is not my own private notion. It's an idea overtly stated in the New Testament:
As It Is Written:
"By this we know that we have come to know Him, if we keep His commandments. The one who says, "I have come to know Him," and does not keep His commandments, is a liar, and the truth is not in him;(1 John 2:3–4 NASB95)
From the biblical standpoint the PROOF that you KNOW God is that you KEEP God's Commandments. The proof that you know Messiah is that you keep Messiah's Commandments. So, if you're going to boast about your knowledge of God, then you will need to have an even greater responsibility for keeping God's Commandments or Messiah's Commandments that much better. So, the critical question is, based on the biblical standards that are stated in Scripture, would God agree that you know Him as well as you think you do? Or, would God call you a liar, based on the definition that He has set for what it truly means to know Him? Before you boast about your knowledge of God, you will need to make certain that you are living up to the biblical definition of what it means to know God, or God will call you a liar, and that is not a good place to be.
Evaluate Yourself Carefully
As It Is Written: "For through the grace given to me I say to everyone among you not to think more highly of himself than he ought to think; but to think so as to have sound judgment, as God has allotted to each a measure of faith.(Romans 12:3 NASB95)
So, brag as much as you like about your knowledge of God. Just understand that in God's Kingdom, every blessing comes with responsibilities attached. If we claim to know more, then we are responsible for doing better with what we know. Brag as much as you like, so long as you are prepared to take the responsibility for living up to the knowledge that you claim to have.

The Happy Body
The Happy Body, a fitness program developed for anyone that wants to be youthful, was created by Aniela and Jerzy Gregorek. Aniela and Jerzy are both former professional athletes, as well as professional coaches and personal trainers. Over the years, they have transformed hundreds of people, from housewives and physicians to athletes and celebrities, who came to them with every conceivable body shape and desire. Some wanted to improve their athletic performance; others had never trained before and wanted to lose weight and be attractive; still others just wanted to be able to get down on the floor and play with their grandchildren. But regardless of the words they used to explain why they wanted coaching, there was a clear pattern in their motivations: Everyone wanted to be youthful. Aniela and Jerzy have devoted the last three decades of their lives to finding solutions to this universal goal. In the course of this search, they invented The Happy Body program.
But even though hard working athletes understand the importance of recovery, the balance between recovery and training can be difficult to strike. Dr. Allen Lim, Team RadioShack's chief physiologist has said that the only difference between guys who win and the guys who merely survive is their innate sense of how much punishment their body can absorb before it overloads. The problem is that there are only a handful of such athletes in the world. What about the rest of us?
Without a way to consistently and easily monitor recovery levels, even the most thoughtful training plan can lead an athlete to overtrain. And the fitter you are - the more you have sharpened that "performance edge" – the more fragile you may be. Like thoroughbred racing horses, a race-ready endurance athlete is only a few hard training sessions away from disaster.
With this in mind, it is easy to see why developing a window into your body's ability to sustain, and recover from, heavy training can mean the difference between the podium and the parking lot.
Understanding recovery with precision is a problem that has plagued athletes for years. It is a problem which now has a solution.

The Best Crawl Space Insulation in Franklin, Tennessee.
Your Franklin home damp crawl space could be saved with insulation.
Have you noticed the insulation in your crawl space is soggy? If so, it's likely you could benefit from this solution. Many homes in the southeast United States, and especially homes near and around Franklin, Tennessee, deal with moisture problems.
Likely, yours does too. This makes insulation of utmost importance — but you don't have to go it on your own! Let our team help you find and install the solution right for you.
Insulation is a great crawl space solution. First the correct amount of insulation will need to be obtained by calculating the square footage of your space.
The area should be free of debris before you begin and the barrier should be thick and heavy enough that it doesn't roll up on itself. The results are not one-and-done, as a new barrier needs to be installed every 5-10 years. You could do it on your own, or you could call our team of professionals in Franklin, Tennessee.
How Can I Spot an Issue in My Franklin Home Crawl Space?
Most homes in the southeast United States have moisture problems, yours may too if you experience:
How does Franklin crawl space insulation work?
This solution works by adding a heavy-duty polyethylene barrier to cover the crawl space, meaning the floors, foundation walls and possibly even the ceiling will be coated. You could compare the encapsulation material to that of a swimming pool liner that is used to prevent leaks. Insulation works best when your space is covered completely and sealing tape is used to connect the barrier's pieces throughout the space. Once the space is sealed, a dehumidifier helps to regulate moisture levels.
Your team of local, trusted insulation professionals in Franklin, TN are just a phone call away!
We specialize in crawl space solutions for every home. Our customer reviews are unmatched and all our clients satisfied. We leave every home we work in better than we found it and leave no trace of moisture — all basements are perfectly encapsulated.
Our team of professional contractors specialize in everything insulation, but we are well-known for our expertise in crawl space encapsulation, crawl space repair, vapor barrier & moisture barrier, crawl space moisture control and insulation.

Testing frameworkssuggest change
Many developers use unit tests to check that their software works as expected. Unit tests check small units of larger pieces of software, and ensure that the outputs match expectations. Testing frameworks make unit testing easier by providing set-up/tear-down services and coordinating the tests.
There are many unit testing frameworks available for C. For example, Unity is a pure C framework. People quite often use C++ testing frameworks to test C code; there are many C++ test frameworks too.
Test Harness:
TDD - Test Driven Development:
Test double mechanisms in C:
- Link-time substitution
- Function pointer substitution
- Preprocessor substitution
- Combined link-time and function pointer substitution
Note on C++ testing frameworks used in C: Using C++ frameworks for testing a C program is quite a common practice as explained here.

ORLANDO, Fla. — The Walt Disney Company is moving some employees in its Parks, Experiences and Products division from California to a new campus in Central Florida.
What You Need To Know
- The Walt Disney Company is building a new regional campus in Central Florida
- The new campus will be built in Orlando's Lake Nona area and house 2,000 employees
- Some California employees in Parks, Experiences and Products will be asked to relocate
- The move will take place over the next 18 months to give workers time to plan moves
Parks Chairman Josh D'Amaro shared the news in an internal letter sent to employees Thursday.
"Expanding our already significant DPEP footprint in Florida make sense," D'Amaro said in the letter. "In addition to Florida's business-friendly climate, this new regional campus gives us the opportunity to consolidate our teams and be more collaborative and impactful both from a creative and operational standpoint."
Disney's new regional campus will be built in the Lake Nona area of Orlando. It will house more than 2,000 Imagineers and other employees. Most of the Southern California-based roles in the Parks, Experiences and Products division not fully dedicated to Disneyland Resort will be asked to relocate to the Orlando campus, according to D'Amaro.

The move will take place over the next 18 months to give employees time to make arrangements. The company is still determining which employees will be relocating to the new campus, which is a project that he said has been in the works since 2019.
D'Amaro added that Florida, which is home Disney World and other parts of Disney's business, is known for its "rich culture of hospitality and active lifestyle."
"The Walt Disney Company also remains committed to its presence in California, including its continued investment in the Disneyland Resort, which serves as an engine for economic growth, job creation and opportunity," D'Amaro wrote.
Disney's Parks, Experiences and Products division includes not only its theme parks and Walt Disney Imagineering but also the company's cruise line business and Adventures by Disney, its guided-tours brand.

"It's a tough year to launch your career—as recent college graduates and interns are about to discover firsthand." — Forbes, April 27, 2020
Welcome to our growth marketing team, and congrats on emerging victorious from the nationwide talent sweepstakes to become our newest virtual intern at one of the most exciting startups in the world.
You outshined other hungry young college grads and their newly laid-off millennial counterparts with your critical thinking skills and an uncanny ability to properly light yourself from the confines of your childhood bedroom.
Just because you'll be coming at us from your stepdad's laptop in Draper, Utah, doesn't mean your free labor is any less valuable. You can expect the same fantastic hours, riveting tasks, and financial security as your IRL predecessors. I'm never going to ask you to get me coffee. After all, you're thousands of miles away and if you ever did touch my Yeti I'd throw it directly into the trash.
While we are unable to provide health insurance during this unstable economic time, your safety and the preservation of our $14M war chest in venture capital is our top priority. Having you in uncompensated stealth mode is for the best anyway. Our open-concept garage space proved lethal once the virus hit. RIP, HR. Series A was rough.
We can process everything at our monthly book club, which you will be organizing and running. Our next selection is either by Anne Lamott or Peter Thiel. We're also going to have you join our Facebook group and pretend to be a very satisfied single father of three who is definitely still alive and thriving.
We created the Intern from Home program as a learning opportunity both for you and Armistead, our proprietary AI software. Interns make mistakes and that's not a bad thing. In fact, the shame related to human error is key to developing the technology that will replace you. It has to do with rapid eye movements and flatulence. We'll get deeper into that after you sign your DNR. Did I say DNR? I meant NDA. A very standard non-disclosure agreement, typical here in startup land.
Suffice it to say your usernames, email signature, and office nickname will be DATH. Typically, we would call you "Thad the Intern," based on your first name and worth as a person, but our lead graphic designer is also named Thad and is also an intern. We were going to call you Remote Thad, but then we realized graphic designer Thad is remote as well. It was getting confusing. DATH doesn't stand for anything, by the way. It's just your name screamed backwards.
On any other first day, you'd now head out to our warehouse in the back of our founder's Jeep to pack boxes and see where the magic happens. She sometimes forgets her wallet and needs a Diet Coke from the nearby gas station. The good news is that because you aren't physically here you have no need to move at all.
Lunch orders are in the #lunch channel and snack orders in the #snacks channel. Post reimbursement requests under #moonshots. Have everything sent directly to our home addresses, pay for expedited delivery, and make sure to stay on top of the queue. If I need anything I'll text you directly, not via Slack. We don't know who all is on there.
And sorry, bud: no office means no free Waterloo or leftover tacos in the break room. Only breadless compliment sandwiches for you. If you want a meat stick or a pack of roasted seaweed, you'll have to put on your big boy pants and send your mom to the grocery store the next time it's safe to leave the house. No one said doing keto in quarantine was easy.
Your contribution matters in these uncertain times. If starting my own career during the Great Recession taught me anything, and it really didn't, it's that no matter how bad things get out there, businesses are always looking for unpaid workers to do the menial tasks no one else wants to do. Just put your head down and do the work. You'll be shocked at how quickly the years go by. We're in this together.
Please don't hesitate to ping me if you have any questions like, "But what is my actual job?" The short answer is I have no idea.

Maximum competition for SSC CHSL Exam is in Tier 1 Exam as more than 30,00,000 aspirants apply each year. Questions asked in SSC CHSL Exam are easy to solve, but time constrain and high competition makes it difficult to clear the Tier 1 Cut Off.
More than 80% of aspirants fail in Tier 1 Exam (Stage 1) Because of following reasons:

- No rigorous practice
- No time based tests (Practice to solve each question in 36 seconds)
