Wholesale Airport Store Suppliers
Wholesale Airport Store Suppliers to independent specialty stores focus on satisfying the store's needs in what type of products their customers demand. Retailers want a product that has been established and will sell quickly. Contacting local Wholesale Airport Store Suppliers is a good first step to get a feel for what products do well in that market.
Finding a wholesale distributor or wholesale supplier who already has an established relationship with independent retailers is essential. The wholesaler and retailer relationship is important in product placement in retail stores. If a wholesaler has a good reputation with a retailer the process of getting products into the store is a lot smoother.
Building a relationship and a positive track record is a very important part for the distributor. It is important for the distributor to do some research on what kind of specialty products do well in each store, which can be dependent on where they are located. If a product does well in one retail store the likeliness the wholesaler will recommend it to other stores is high. In independent retailers and stores in general it is all about shelf space and what sells well will claim that shelf space. Products that do not, will be given less space or no space in order to move in a new product that sells well.
Wholesale Airport Store Suppliers look for products that are innovative and will set them apart from competitors. So, new products have a better chance of making it into an independent wholesaler that works with independent retailers vs. a big box store. A wholesale supplier will have a stronger personal relationship and knowledge with products compared to big box stores as well. This is beneficial to everyone involved because having knowledge about the product in stores will improve sales.
In order to get a product into a wholesale specialty market contacting the correct supplier is the first step. The next step would be sending samples and other pertinent information to that wholesaler if requested. They like to see proof of sales and selling points of that product. Communicating about price points and minimum order quantities is very important. If the distributor likes the product and thinks it would be a good fit for their route they will purchase the product.
If the product does well in stores, the wholesale supplier will continually order more. Proof of sales will bring more orders and getting in contact with other distributors, wholesalers and suppliers in other parts of the country is the next step. A product with proven sales in a few independent specialty stores will make its way to independent retail stores all across the nation through different distribution channels. Establishing and building relationships with distributors and wholesalers is the best way to get products into retail stores.

Not A Mourning Person
My girlfriend died in a car accident four months ago, and I fear I'm not grieving the way I should. I was really broken up at first, crying hysterically, and I miss her terribly. I often think of things I wish I could tell her or we could do together, but I'm comforted by remembering all the positive things about us and her, and I'm grateful for the time we did have. Friends are worried, saying that I need to experience grief fully and work through all the stages in order to recover; otherwise, the grief could come back to bite me. I worry that I am suppressing stuff, but I have no idea what. Despite what's happened, I still like my life and my job. I even find myself laughing at stupid stuff. Am I just in major denial? — Living
Those who care about you are worried that you aren't wallowing in pain and despair, and they're maybe even a little suspicious: "Come on, man, who's keeping you company if not misery?" Supposedly, if you really loved somebody, you'll grieve big, long and showy: retire from personal hygiene, refuse to leave your bed for six months, and only stop sobbing into your pillow to ask somebody to plant weeping willows so even the vegetation will be crying in solidarity. But bereavement researcher George A. Bonanno points out in his terrific book, The Other Side of Sadness, that there's no evidence for this belief or a number of widely held beliefs about grieving, like the notion that there are "stages of grief" — five of them — that every bereaved person must go through before they can go on: "Whoops, you flunked anger. Better go back and punch four walls and get in two bar fights!" The "stages of grief" were based on psychiatrist Dr. Elisabeth Kubler-Ross' observations of people who were themselves dying, not those who'd lost someone they loved. "Grieving over the death of a loved one is not the same as facing your own death," Bonanno points out. He adds that Freud's notion that the bereaved must do "grief work" to heal — slog through every one of their memories and hopes about their lost loved one (as if sorting a mountain of wet clothes at an industrial laundry) — is unsupported by research, and there's even evidence that this re-chewing of memories strengthens their connection to the deceased, preventing healing.
Yet another myth is that your failure to go into Scarlett O'Hara-style hysterics in the coffee room every day means you're postponing your grieving (perhaps until beach volleyball season ends?). In fact, the idea of "delayed grief" — grief as a darkly mischievous force determined to eventually pop up and bite you — is another unsubstantiated idea from one of Freud's psychoanalytic minions. Studies find delayed grief extremely rare — almost to the point of nonexistence. What your behavior seems to reflect is resilience — healthy coping through putting your girlfriend's life and death in perspective in ways that help you go on with your life. In other words, if you have a problem, it's that your friends think you have a problem. The next time they suggest you're grieving incorrectly, you might reassure them. Tell them you're in the "bargaining" stage and that you'd feel much better if only they'd stock your fridge with beer and steak, and on their way out, would they mind detailing your car?
When Bald Things Happen To Good People
I'm a decent-looking guy with unfortunate hair. It's thinning rapidly and receding to the back of my skull, and topical treatments barely made a difference. I'm now thinking of shaving my whole head, but I'm wondering what women think. Considering my circumstances, what's my best option? — Follicular Rebellion
Going bald isn't all bad. If you're like a lot of men, every time you lose a hair off your head, you're a hair closer to growing a ponytail out your nose. Although women generally prefer men with hair on their head, there's a line that gets crossed, and that's when there's a desperate little patch on top (a la Prince William) that calls to mind a pointless attempt to grow a vegetable garden in arid countryside. Doing that doesn't make you look like you have hair; it makes you look like you have hair issues. Shaving your head, on the other hand, projects confidence, suggesting that you're comfortable enough with your face and yourself to put them out there unadorned. If you go the head-shaving route, consider adding facial hair to make it look like there's still a little lawn on the property, balancing out the clearing on top. You could try a few styles, take pix, and poll the ladies. Who knows? It might be just the way to meet a woman who longs to run her fingers through your back hair.

Elizabeth, Simeon, and the Cats
I was already planning to use the post-Valentine's mood to offer another installment of Boston 1775's very intermittent "Can This Marriage Be Saved?" series. Then I read Caitlin G. D. Hopkins's articles on Elizabeth Palmer of Little Compton, Rhode Island, and knew my tale would have to take second place.
Caitlin's inquiry began in 2009 with Palmer's gravestone, which reads:
In Memory ofCaitlin added, "To make matters worse, Elizabeth's gravestone stands next to a stone dedicated to Lidia Palmer (d.1754), who was the wife of Simeon Palmer." Was Simeon secretly pining for Elizabeth? If Elizabeth never became Simeon Palmer's wife, why did the stone neglect to mention her surname? Who erected that stone anyway?
ELIZABETH who
Should have been the
Wife of Mr.
who died Augst. 14th
1776 in the 64th Year
of her Age.
Commenter Randy Nonenmacher offered a 1901 reference with more answers. The explanation begins:
The first church of Little Compton, R. I. was organized in 1704 under Rev. Richard Billings, a man of prominence and ability, much beloved, and exerted a strong influence over his charge. He had one idiosyncrasy, however; he firmly believed in cats as an article of diet, and fatted them for the purpose.Can this marriage be saved?
Amongst his parishioners was a man, Simeon Palmer, of the fine old family resident in Little Compton. He was wealthy married first Lydia Dennis, Aug. 25, 1745, and had Susannah, Gideon, Humphrey, Sarah, Walter and Patience. At some time between 1745 and 1752 he had sunstroke which left him mildly insane and he adopted the views of his minister on cats and insisted on his family using them for food.
As Caitlin notes, Victorian antiquarians of the sort who preserved this tale loved stories about eccentrics, and may have embellished them, or even made them up to explain oddities like the Elizabeth Palmer gravestone. I wonder what Sibley's Harvard Graduates says about the Rev. Mr. Billings, class of 1698. A 1906 history of the Little Compton church dismisses the story (carefully not mentioning the minister's alleged role) as the concoction of "the good old aunties of our town." That book also notes that the epitaph inspired a 1905 novel (set in the nineteenth century) titled Saint Abigail of the Pines.
To me this story feels authentic because it ends with an accommodation among people driven by economic needs rather than with a tidy moral lesson for the present day. In any event, it's good to know that Elizabeth Palmer lived long enough to see her daughter married, apparently more happily.

Data center managers and equipment vendors looking for greener alternatives will begin to benefit this year from a major initiative aimed at reducing the power consumed by Ethernet equipment. IEEE 802.3az, or the Energy-Efficient Ethernet (EEE) standard, will implement low-power idle (LPI) modes for the full range of Ethernet BASE-T transceivers (100Mb, 1GbE and 10GbE) and the backplane physical layer standards (1GbE, 4-lane 1GbE and 10GbE).
Computing and network hardware has traditionally been benchmarked on performance with no clear metrics for energy efficiency. And because the focus of development has been ever-higher performance, there has been a rapid increase in power consumption, particularly since the advent of multi-GHz processors. The EPA reports that energy usage in data centers doubled between 2000 and 2006 and is predicted to double again by 2011, hence the interest in energy efficiency.
Data centers are built to handle peak loads and often have excess capacity off peak. It's nice to have a lot of server cores available to tackle a big problem when you need them, but it costs a lot of money for power and cooling to keep those servers running constantly.
Clearly there are efficiencies to be gained by being able to operate the compute infrastructure in a manner that scales the power consumption down when the load is lower. Consider, for example, a data center built to provide stock quotes within seconds -- the servers are woefully underutilized when the market is closed. Making the power consumption proportional to the load would allow close to a ten-fold reduction in power consumption as the average utilization tends to be less than 10% of peak capacity.
Approaching the problem
While the EPA recently defined metrics for server energy efficiency, there had been no measure to rate the energy efficiency of network equipment, so the EPA sought input from the Energy ddepartment-supported Environmental Energy Technologies division of the Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory (LBNL). Mike Bennett and Bruce Nordman of LBNL chose to bring this task to the IEEE LAN MAN Networking group, which initiated a standardization project (Project 802.3az).
When the energy efficiency standards activity started in the 802.3 working group, one of the options considered was stepping down the power consumption of Ethernet transceivers (PHYs) in stages when the data rate required was less than peak. That idea was abandoned, after much debate, in favor of defining LPI modes and mechanisms to switch rapidly between the full operating speed and the low-power idle mode.
With this approach, the EEE standard will not only be able to improve the efficiency of data center network equipment, but also provide standardized signaling mechanisms that can enable rapid transitions between normal operation and LPI states in systems on either end of the physical layer link.
This capability is reminiscent of the Wake-on-LAN standard (which defines magic packets that can be sent to remotely wake up a computer in a sleep mode), however, EEE signaling has much less latency, on the order of 10 microseconds.
Low power idle mode
LAN links generally average less than 10% utilization and even at peak times, the utilization does not reach 100%. When data is not being sent, the lower-speed PHYs (10Mbps and 100Mbps) would stop transmitting and hence would automatically consume less power. However, the higher-speed PHYs (1000BASE-T and 10GBASE-T), the ones that are relevant to data centers, continue to transmit actively when there is no data to send, and thereby continue to consume power when idle.For the lower speed standards, the new EEE standard (IEEE 802.3az) specifies the transport of LPI signaling from the system on one side of the link to the system on the other side and provides only small incremental savings in the PHY power itself, but it enables rapid adjustments in power modes of the connected devices.
For 1000BASE-T and 10GBASE-T transceivers new LPI modes have been defined. Key features are:
- They allow powering down the transmitters and three of the four receivers in a link when there is no data to send.
- They include a refresh cycle that requires transmission of short training sequences in LPI mode so the PHY parameters (clock tracking at the slave, receiver equalizer coefficients, echo canceller coefficients, crosstalk canceller coefficients, etc.) can be updated and kept current.
- They include the definition of an alert signal that can be used to rapidly wake up a PHY from sleep in the LPI mode.
- They can be initiated either from the local system by signaling from the MAC or station management or from the remote system over the PHY link.
Because of these features, the LPI-to-active state transition can be made in less than 0.001% of the time it takes for the initial link-up of the PHY. During the sleep-to-wake transition, EEE requires that data transmission be held off for the PHY wake time so no data is lost.
The EEE standard also provides a mechanism to hold off transmission for longer periods than the minimum specified to allow for extended system wake times, and this can be coordinated across the network using the IEEE802.1AB protocol. This allows much finer-grained and more flexible cycling between normal and LPI modes. This capability will be a powerful tool for power savings in future data centers.
The EEE standard has been through three cycles of working group balloting and has maintained an approval rating greater than 80%. It is slated to get approval to go to sponsor ballot next month. Full ratification is anticipated before year-end.
Kasturia is chairman and CTO of Teranetics, which has designed EEE support into its TN8080 generation of PHY chips, samples of which will be available in May. Kasturia is also editor-in-chief for the IEEE task force developing the Energy Efficient Ethernet standard. He can be reached at firstname.lastname@example.com

Newly established dating sites
Newly established dating sites
Compared with eight years ago, online daters in 2013 are more likely to actually go out on dates with the people they meet on these sites.
That is statistically similar to the 17% of online daters who said that this had happened to them when we first asked this question in 2005.Even today, online dating is not universally seen as a positive activity—a significant minority of the public views online dating skeptically.At the same time, public attitudes towards online dating have grown more positive in the last eight years: Additionally, 32% of internet users agree with the statement that "online dating keeps people from settling down because they always have options for people to date." This is the first time we have asked this question.In general, online daters themselves give the experience high marks.One in ten Americans have used an online dating site or mobile dating app themselves, and many people now know someone else who uses online dating or who has found a spouse or long-term partner via online dating.General public attitudes towards online dating have become much more positive in recent years, and social networking sites are now playing a prominent role when it comes to navigating and documenting romantic relationships.
These are among the key findings of a national survey of dating and relationships in the digital era, the first dedicated study of this subject by the Pew Research Center's Internet Project since 2005.One in every ten American adults has used an online dating site or a mobile dating app.We refer to these individuals throughout this report as "online daters," and we define them in the following way: Taken together, 11% of all American adults have done one or both of these activities and are classified as "online daters." In terms of demographics, online dating is most common among Americans in their mid-20's through mid-40's.Some 22% of 25-34 year olds and 17% of 35-44 year olds are online daters.Online dating is also relatively popular among the college-educated, as well as among urban and suburban residents.And 38% of Americans who are single and actively looking for a partner have used online dating at one point or another.

But, as our bike-crazy brothers and sisters in Northern Europe demonstrate winter after winter, transport cycling is not a seasonal sport. Even when the natural world provides less-than-frolicsome conditions, you can still make that average 3-4 kilometre commute on two wheels.
Well, in Budapest, if you do so, you do it with little company. Today, I ruefully noted this city's other telltale sign of fall: the closure of the bicycle shops.
After work, I went down to Bikebase on Podmaninszky út in search of a used bike. Walking down the street and keeping an eye out for the shop's orange and brown sign, I arrived at the körút having apparently walked right by it. I turned around for another pass wondering how I could have missed it. In a minute, I came to the sought-for address -- but the bikes were gone and in their place -- snowboards. Apparently, Bikebase converts to winter sporting gear every year from November 1 to the end of March.
This is such a common set-up in Budapest, it's a cliché. With few exceptions, bike shops in Budapest follow an identical business model of selling bike stuff in summer, skis and snowboards in winter. In most stores, there isn't even a reduced, basic stock of bike stuff to tie "off-season" through cyclists to spring. Even in large sporting goods shops like Hervis, the bicycles disappear entirely, with nothing more than a rack of bike gloves and other other carelessly selected items for the winter cyclist.
I can't begrudge business owners for wanting to make a year-round living. On the other hand, there are more and more transport cyclists in Budapest every year, and transport cycling doesn't stop for for winter. It'd be nice to have more shops that would stick by us through the cold season to provide servicing and parts and maybe some rain gear, mudguards and other winter-time accoutrements. And how about some bikes for us Christmas shoppers willing to spring for more than a stocking stuffer?
One shop that does go year round is the Pajtás Biciklibolt at Király utca 83. Being a spin-off of the Hajtas Pajtas courier service, these guys survive the winter on the custom of bike couriers. I asked about it one time, and the attendant told me couriers were 90% of their winter custom, although non-courier customers were growing in number. Pajtás is fairly unusual in Budapest as a shop that caters mainly to utility cyclists. Another shop that plies the bike business during winter is Nella; it's more a sports cycling store, but they carry city bikes as well and their servicing is quite good. Right now, they're advertising a fall sale on merchandise, which is a time-honoured (and very customer friendly) way of carrying on business in the slow months.
At any rate, it's nice to have bike shops that are open during winter, keeping regular hours and ample stock. If readers know of other all-season shops (particular ones in vicinity of the Buda foot of Margit bridge), I'd welcome the info.

As usual a very exciting report from our ICARDA team working in Tajikistan, Kyrgyzstan and Iran on breeding and fiber processing. Developments in Tajikistan have exceeded expectations! We are now in collaborating with the Hyatt Hotel in Dushanbe and, through a well functioning HUB, with companies like Clothroads, Kit Outta teh Box and Peace Fleece that have shown strong interest in marketing the mohair yarn and products. In Kyrgyzstan the new version of chair mats received an Award of Excellence for Handicraft Products from UNESCO. CACSA NGO is planning to develop a "Raw Material Bank" to help supply women groups with quality inputs such as felt, wool, silk and dyes throughout the year thus trying to cope with winter shortage of material. Some more challenges lie ahead from poor infrastructure, harsh weather conditions to rural women difficulties in leading businesses. Agha Khan Foundation will help us develop access to micro-finance in the future. Artisans are becoming highly motivated to succeed in developing sustainable productions and are now used to re-invest their own resources to buy raw materials, participate in fairs, attend trainigs and buy rural machines. Besides "normal" support, the ICARDA team has gone the extra mile and succesful provided information on country laws regarding rangelands and products' taxes. We are now working on developing cooperation with NGOs that could ensure sustainability of farmer and women processing groups. Enjoy the reading! L

America's Cup : Olympic Hero Ben Ainslie Takes Early Lead in America's Cup World Series Naples
by America's Cup media
A competitive fleet of nine AC45 catamarans skippered by some of the world's best sailors combined with unsettled wind conditions to produce an exciting opening day at the America's Cup World Series Naples.
Ben Ainslie's J.P. Morgan BAR crew hold the early lead in the series. They scored 21 points after placing 3-1 in the two fleet races and lead Dean Barker's Emirates Team New Zealand crew by 1 point. The Kiwis finished 1-4.
J.P. Morgan BAR also scored a come-from-behind win in its quarterfinal race of the match racing championship in testing conditions that kept all 45 of the sailors piqued trying to decipher the tricky wind conditions.
"It was one of those days when you want to survive because it would have been easy to pick up some bad results," said Ainslie, the four-time Olympic Gold medalist who had the British Ambassador to Italy, Christopher Prentice, aboard as a guest racer. "The wind was so shifty today coming over the headland. That was the biggest challenge."
Reports from the race course on the Bay of Naples indicated that the wind was shifting from south/southwest to nearly west, an arc of some 35 degrees, and ranged in strength from 8 to 12 knots. Barker echoed Ainslie in finding the conditions challenging.
"There was no real rhythm to it today," said Barker, an America's Cup and Louis Vuitton Cup champion. "At times there were big gains to be had on the right side, and other times you could sail yourself into no wind. There were big gains and losses, particularly at the top of the course. I think we managed the course as well as we could today."
Holding third place with 18 points is Chris Draper's Luna Rossa Piranha crew. Draper, a world champion in the 49er class, is looking to recapture the lightning in a bottle that saw him win last year's AC World Series Naples in a thrilling debut performance.
"I would say we had a good day," said Draper. "We missed a couple of opportunities in the fleet racing and wound up with a 4-2. We'll work on that for tomorrow. I didn't trust my instincts enough when I should have and then tried to make things happen that weren't there. But it was a good day."
While the conditions were challenging, so was the race course for some of the new helmsmen in the fleet. Both Tom Slingsby of ORACLE TEAM USA and Roman Hagara of HS Racing were penalized for exceeding the course boundary.
In Slingsby's case, it meant the difference between winning the first fleet race and placing second.
"We were off to a nice lead in the first race, but being a bit of a rookie in the class I didn't see one of the boundaries and apparently we just crossed over it," said Slingsby, the Olympic Gold medalist in the Laser class. "After that race I told the boys to remind me about the boundaries."
In today's match racing action, newcomer HS Racing, led by co-skippers Roman Hagara and Hans-Peter Steinacher, won the qualifier match in a "walkover" when opponent China Team was disqualified for failing to start properly.
Two of four quarterfinal matches were also held today. Luna Rossa Piranha defeated Artemis Racing White (Charlie Ekberg) in one match while J.P. Morgan BAR defeated Energy Team (Yann Guichard) in another.
The quarterfinals will conclude tomorrow with HS Racing squaring off against ORACLE TEAM USA SLINGSBY and Emirates Team New Zealand racing Luna Rossa Swordfish (Francesco Bruni).
"It's really nice racing here in Napoli," said Hagara, a double Olympic Gold medallist. "It's really good sport and especially for the spectators. It's unbelievable the amount of people who turned out. I've never seen so many people watching sailing."
Tomorrow's racing will be streamed live on YouTube worldwide (subject to territorial rights agreements) beginning at 14:00 local time (CEST).

|This APP antibody is generated from rabbits immunized with a KLH conjugated synthetic peptide between 736-770 amino acids from the C-terminal region of human APP.
|Purified polyclonal antibody supplied in PBS with 0.09% (W/V) sodium azide. This antibody is prepared by Saturated Ammonium Sulfate (SAS) precipitation followed by dialysis against PBS.
|Maintain refrigerated at 2-8°C for up to 2 weeks. For long term storage store at -20°C in small aliquots to prevent freeze-thaw cycles.
|APP Antibody (C-term) is for research use only and not for use in diagnostic or therapeutic procedures.
|Functions as a cell surface receptor and performs physiological functions on the surface of neurons relevant to neurite growth, neuronal adhesion and axonogenesis. Interaction between APP molecules on neighboring cells promotes synaptogenesis (PubMed:25122912). Involved in cell mobility and transcription regulation through protein-protein interactions. Can promote transcription activation through binding to APBB1-KAT5 and inhibits Notch signaling through interaction with Numb. Couples to apoptosis-inducing pathways such as those mediated by G(O) and JIP. Inhibits G(o) alpha ATPase activity (By similarity). Acts as a kinesin I membrane receptor, mediating the axonal transport of beta-secretase and presenilin 1. Involved in copper homeostasis/oxidative stress through copper ion reduction. In vitro, copper-metallated APP induces neuronal death directly or is potentiated through Cu(2+)-mediated low-density lipoprotein oxidation. Can regulate neurite outgrowth through binding to components of the extracellular matrix such as heparin and collagen I and IV. The splice isoforms that contain the BPTI domain possess protease inhibitor activity. Induces a AGER- dependent pathway that involves activation of p38 MAPK, resulting in internalization of amyloid-beta peptide and leading to mitochondrial dysfunction in cultured cortical neurons. Provides Cu(2+) ions for GPC1 which are required for release of nitric oxide (NO) and subsequent degradation of the heparan sulfate chains on GPC1. N-APP binds TNFRSF21 triggering caspase activation and degeneration of both neuronal cell bodies (via caspase-3) and axons (via caspase-6).
|Cellular Location
|Cell membrane; Single- pass type I membrane protein. Membrane; Single- pass type I membrane protein. Perikaryon. Cell projection, growth cone. Membrane, clathrin-coated pit. Early endosome. Cytoplasmic vesicle Note=Cell surface protein that rapidly becomes internalized via clathrin-coated pits. Only a minor proportion is present at the cell membrane; most of the protein is present in intracellular vesicles (PubMed:20580937). During maturation, the immature APP (N-glycosylated in the endoplasmic reticulum) moves to the Golgi complex where complete maturation occurs (O-glycosylated and sulfated). After alpha-secretase cleavage, soluble APP is released into the extracellular space and the C-terminal is internalized to endosomes and lysosomes. Some APP accumulates in secretory transport vesicles leaving the late Golgi compartment and returns to the cell surface. APP sorts to the basolateral surface in epithelial cells. During neuronal differentiation, the Thr-743 phosphorylated form is located mainly in growth cones, moderately in neurites and sparingly in the cell body (PubMed:10341243) Casein kinase phosphorylation can occur either at the cell surface or within a post-Golgi compartment. Associates with GPC1 in perinuclear compartments. Colocalizes with SORL1 in a vesicular pattern in cytoplasm and perinuclear regions Amyloid-beta protein 42: Cell surface. Note=Associates with FPR2 at the cell surface and the complex is then rapidly internalized.
|Tissue Location
|Expressed in all fetal tissues examined with highest levels in brain, kidney, heart and spleen. Weak expression in liver. In adult brain, highest expression found in the frontal lobe of the cortex and in the anterior perisylvian cortex- opercular gyri. Moderate expression in the cerebellar cortex, the posterior perisylvian cortex-opercular gyri and the temporal associated cortex. Weak expression found in the striate, extra- striate and motor cortices. Expressed in cerebrospinal fluid, and plasma. Isoform APP695 is the predominant form in neuronal tissue, isoform APP751 and isoform APP770 are widely expressed in non- neuronal cells. Isoform APP751 is the most abundant form in T- lymphocytes. Appican is expressed in astrocytes

APP is a cell surface receptor and transmembrane precursor protein that is cleaved by secretases to form a number of peptides. Some of these peptides are secreted and can bind to the acetyltransferase complex APBB1/TIP60 to promote transcriptional activation, while others form the protein basis of the amyloid plaques found in the brains of patients with Alzheimer disease. Mutations in this gene have been implicated in autosomal dominant Alzheimer disease and cerebroarterial amyloidosis (cerebral amyloid angiopathy).

Send mail from another address without "on behalf of"
Quite a few of you use Gmail's custom "From:" to send messages with one of your other email addresses listed in place of your Gmail address. Since these messages are sent by Gmail's servers but "from" a non-Gmail address, we have to include your original Gmail username in the "Sender" field of the message header to comply with mail delivery protocols and help prevent your mail from being marked as spam. Most email programs just display the "From" address and not the "Sender" field, but some (including versions of Microsoft Outlook) show these messages as coming "From email@example.com On Behalf Of firstname.lastname@example.com" which really annoyed people.
We heard your request for another option that wouldn't show the "on behalf of" text loud and clear, and now there's a new option that does just that. Instead of using Gmail's servers to send the message, we'll use the servers where your other email address lives. Since Gmail isn't the originating domain, we don't have to include "Sender" info in the header. No more "on behalf of."
Here's the difference. All custom "From:" addresses used to work like this:
Now, if your other email provider supports POP and/or IMAP access, you can choose to send your message like this instead:
To switch to this new method, go to the Accounts page under Settings, and click "edit info" from the "Send mail as" section. Then choose the option to "Use your other email provider's SMTP servers."
We recognize that your other address might not have a server that you can use to send outbound messages — for example, if you use a forwarding alias rather than an actual mailbox, or if your other email provider doesn't support authenticated SMTP, or restricts access to specific IP ranges. For this reason, we've kept the original method as well. Check out our Help Center for further details on these two "send mail as" configuration options.
If you use Google Apps Premier or Education edition and would like to send mail as another address within your domain or within an aliased domain, no sweat. We do all the work behind the scenes so your original username won't be listed in the "Sender" header, and your recipients won't see "on behalf of."

Real Guy's Guide to Cruise Packingby Kuki
I admit that as a real guy I rarely actually place the clothing in the suitcases. As is the case with most men, I was born without the necessary packing chromosome. In our home the packing process is similar to our sex life. I simply lay it on the bed and let Mrs. Kuki deal with it. However, unlike our sex life, I do have a say in what I'm taking along.
Unlike Mrs. Kuki, I am the over packer in the family. However on our most recent cruise I really fine tuned my methods. I was so proud when the shirt and slacks I dressed in for the airplane trip home were the only clean clothes I had left. When I puffed out my chest and proclaimed the success of my amazing feat to Mrs. Kuki a little smirk showed on her face and she said, my my, my little boy is growing up.
To accomplish what I viewed as this high wire act of clothing assembly I actually took the time to sit down and list each day that we were going to be away, and note what I would need in the way of clothing for each one. Then I simply totaled the columns.
Seemingly the trend on cruise ships is leaning to the somewhat more casual side. Tuxes are becoming less popular onboard with the possible exception of the top end premium cruise lines. On one cruise I took my own tux along. As I laid it out, I had to wonder what a guy like me was doing even owning a tux. I wore it on the first formal night onboard and admit to feeling kind of "James Bondish". I even tried to convince Mrs. Kuki that the only reason the cumber bun around my waist seemed so bulky was it was concealing my berretta. It was trying in vein to conceal something that starts with the letter B, but Beretta isn't even close.
The next time I was going to take the tux along it had apparently shrunk in the sea air, so I arranged to rent one from the cruise line rental agency. The rates vary between cruise lines, but for one tux with pants, one shirt, one tie, and accompanying accessories the cost is in the range of $85. For around $125 you can add on a separate white dinner jacket, and an extra shirt.
In a pattern unusual for me, after the first formal night, I noticed that I had somehow managed to come back to the cabin without the normal food and dessert stains on my clothing. I could wear the tux for the next formal night, and save the dinner jacket for a more important occasion.
The last night onboard (tip night) I dressed in the dinner jacket, stood outside the entrance to the dining room and made enough in tips to pay for the rental and half my bar tab.
Personally I think my days of wearing tuxedos onboard are over with. The majority of men these days are wearing suits, and for the sake of my own comfort I think I'll go with the flow.
Kuki's Packing List for a 7 day Caribbean cruise... -3 Bathing Suits -8 pairs of walking shorts -11 Sport Shirts -4 T-shirts -4 Dress shirts -5 pairs casual slacks (docker style) -2 pairs of dress slacks -2 sport jackets -2 suits ( or tux/dinner jacket) -4 ties -15 pieces of underwear (I call them pieces, because like most men, that's the condition they're in) -12 pairs of socks. -2 baseball caps -1 casual rain jacket, or sweater and umbrella -1 pair black shoes, 1 pair brown shoes, 1 pair sandals or aqua socks, 1 pair walking shoes - video camera (so I can more great shots of my feet when I forget to turn it off) with extra battery and tape - still or digital camera and film - folded sports bag (for hauling onboard the caffeine free diet coke that I can't live without, after I purchase it in the port city) Sundry items: Shaving kit, toothbrush/ toothpaste (extra teeth for those with portable ones), deodorant, sun block, sun burn gel, sunglasses, extra pair of regular glasses, Band-Aids, bonine ( in cases of motion sickness), water proof fanny pack and any prescription medication I may need at the time, and the collar and whip that Mrs. Kuki likes so much.
Before I walk out the door I make certain I've got the money, wallet with credit cards, passport, airline tickets, and cruise documents all accounted for as well.
All of this fits in one large suitcase and a rolling carry on. For those that care, after going through various sets of luggage, and watching it get torn or bent, or finding it hard to handle, we've come across, and now use the Delsey hard sided luggage. We find that they stand up well to the riggers of travel, and we absolutely love the wheel system on them that allows free movement in most any direction. Mrs. Kuki finds she can easily handle two pieces at once which leaves me with rolling the carry on size, and I still have one hand free to wave at my fans.
***NOTE*** I recommend wrapping the luggage with some sort of brightly colored material that is easy to spot both at the airport, and at debarkation. In our case we use bright yellow tape that says, Police Crime Scene. Do NOT cross.
As well, we always have a carry on with us that is packed with all clothes and sundry items that we'll need to get us through the complete first day onboard. This means necessary toiletries, medication, a bathing suit, and a change of clothes for that night's dinner. This relieves any anxiety with regards to when our luggage arrives in the cabin. We can simply drop the carry on in your cabin, and set about to explore the ship, and set out to meet your new and old friends.

Rimmer being from a branch of the Hellsing line is one of those ideas that's just wrong enough to work.
I'm sure I could fudge the science to get them together; RD is great for fudging science. ("So what is it?" "It's a magic door." "Oh, why didn't you say so?") But there'd have to be some kind of narrative reason for them to get together, and I'm not sure the shows would mesh that well...

Petraeus investigation triggered by e-mail threats
The scandal that brought down CIA Director David Petraeus started with harassing e-mails sent by his biographer and paramour, Paula Broadwell, to another woman, and eventually led the FBI to discover the affair, U.S. officials said.
A federal law enforcement official told USA TODAY that the investigation, which began months ago, is largely complete and that a decision on possible charges would be up to prosecutors.
WASHINGTON — CIA Director David Petraeus' resignation was apparently prompted after an acquaintance of the former Army general went to the FBI to report that she was being harassed in a series of e-mails that investigators later alleged had come from Petraeus' biographer Paula Broadwell, a federal law enforcement official said Saturday
During the investigation, which began months ago, authorities allegedly learned of a relationship between Broadwell and the CIA director, said the official, who asked not to be identified because he was not authorized to comment publicly.
The official said that because of the nature of the allegations and Petraeus' alleged involvement with one of the figures in the inquiry, agents sought to determine whether the CIA director's e-mail accounts had been compromised.
The identity of the other woman and her connection with Broadwell were not immediately known.
Petraeus has been married for 38 years to Holly Petraeus, the daughter of the West Point superintendent when he was a student at the New York school.
Although the official said there was no evidence of a breach, authorities discussed the inquiry and the findings with Petraeus "a couple of weeks ago.''
The official said the investigation is largely complete and a decision on any potential criminal charges related to the harassment allegation would be up to prosecutors.
The connection of e-mail threats to the Petraeus case was first reported by TheWashington Post.
Also Saturday, word came that members of Congress want answers to questions about the affair between Petraeus and his biographer that led to the former general's resignation.
House intelligence committee chairman Mike Rogers, R-Mich., and ranking member Dutch Ruppersberger, D-Md., will meet Wednesday with FBI deputy director Sean Joyce, and CIA acting director Michael Morell to ask questions like how the investigation came about, according to the Associated Press. The news service cited a senior congressional staffer who spoke anonymously because he was not authorized to discuss the investigation publicly.
Petraeus, a retired four-star Army general, announced Friday that he was resigning as CIA chief because he had been involved in an extramarital affair. He and his wife have two children. Broadwell is married and also has two children.

Tomasz Kowal presents a high-level overview that is both encouraging for beginners but also maps the road to mastering property-based testing.
Cyrille Martraire argues that we should rethink how we work with documentation when building software systems — we should embrace documentation that evolves at the same pace as the code. In the book, he describes the concepts and ideas that are the base for living documentation and uses practical examples on how documentation that is always up-to-date can be created.
Chakri Cherukuri discusses how to build advanced data visualization applications and interactive plots in Jupyter notebooks, including use cases with time series analysis.
The book The Driver in the Driverless Car by Vivek Wadhwa and Alex Salkever explores how technology is changing faster and faster, and what impact that can have on the future of our society. It aims to help frame decisions and thinking about rapidly developing technologies. Salkever and Wadhwa cover a wide variety of technologies, including robotics, AI, quantum computing, and driverless cars.

21 November 2011 at 4.59pm | Comment on this article
Teaching singing can be an exciting and inspiring way to engage students into the world of music. It's for this reason the Royal Opera House is embarking on a new programme that aims to put singing at the heart of schools' work.
Voices of the Future is a two year programme of professional development opportunities for teachers who are interested in gaining skills and confidence as singing leaders, to teach and inspire their teaching colleagues and pupils. This programme is specifically aimed at teachers across the Thurrock and the Thames Gateway, working in partnership with Essex County Council.
In consultation with Essex County Council, we've decided to work with teachers in Basildon, Billericay and Wickford in phase one of the project (March 2012 – July 13). We expect some participants to be music specialists and others to have a general knowledge with a passion for music and singing. We're particularly interested in collaborating with teachers who work with the upper end of Primary (Years 5 and 6) and lower end of Secondary (Years 7 and 8).
At the heart of the programme, there are three INSET days per year, focusing on a broad range of topics, including:
- Vocal health
- promoting top-quality singing in school
- selecting repertoire
- conducting a group
- how acting and movement can combine with ensemble singing.
And it's not only in depth INSET days that participants will have the opportunity to experience. We feel it is important for teachers to have an understanding of the drama and decision making that goes on backstage and will therefore participants will be invited on a tour of the Royal Opera House and the the Bob and Tamar Manoukian Production Workshop in Thurrock. The programme will also include the chance to develop skills alongside a range of specialist vocal leaders and work towards personal goals and ambitions.
Apart from the cost of releasing teachers for the INSET days, participating in the programme is otherwise free!
To find out more or register your interest in being involved, please contact Stacey Kurtz, Education Officer: email@example.com
Voices of the Future is part of the Royal Opera House's large-scale programme of professional development for teachers in 2011-14, generously supported by the Esmee Fairbairn Foundation.

PHIL 107A: The Greeks on Irrationality (PHIL 207A)
In this course, we shall examine the views of some central Greek philosophers (Plato, Aristotle, the Epicureans, and the Stoics) on the irrational and non-rational aspects of human life. What makes something irrational and what roles (negative and perhaps positive as well) does the irrational play in our lives? We shall examine their views on anger, fear, madness, love, pleasure and pain, sexual desire and so on. We shall also consider more briefly some depictions of these psychic items in ancient Greek literature.

PHIL 109B: Greek philosophers read their ancestors: Intro to the ancient reception of Presocratic philosophy (PHIL 209B)
The first Greek philosophers are known to us only through fragments of their original works, generally few in number and transmitted by later authors, as well as through a set of testimonies covering a thousand years and more. Thus it is crucial, in order to understand archaic thought, to get a sense of how they were read by those to whom we owe their transmission. What was their aim, their method, their presuppositions or prejudices?nn The course will employ this perspective to examine authors such as Plato, Aristotle, Theophrastus, Diogenes Laertius, Simplicius ¿ among others. We shall also reflect, on the basis of the paradigmatic case of the Presocratics, on some of the more general problems raised by literary and philosophical approaches to the notion of reception.

TEL AVIV—Shortly after 10 on a recent morning, an argument begins at Nation Brewery near the stainless steel barrel. Alon, from the Galilee Brewery, claims that the barley malt hasn't been ground enough, and Eshel Bar-Ilan politely asks the guest to stop making trouble. He says that the barley malt is ground to the exact size that will allow the husk to break away without separating it from the seed.
There is no reason to argue with Eshel, who knows both the grinder and the vagaries of the brewing process better than anyone. Alon knows this, and he gives up. Eshel fills a large barrel with the ground malt and sets it on the bottom of a bigger barrel full of water that is starting to heat up. When the water is hot enough, the ground seeds in the smaller barrel will bubble, just like a coffee percolator. As the seeds release the malt sugars, the liquid resembles tea—aromatic and sweet.
After two hours of re-rinsing the yellow cement floors, interrupted by a short coffee and cigarette break, Eshel uses a crank to release the inner barrel full of wet malted barley seeds from the larger barrel. The malt sugar solution is boiled with Hops for seasoning, completing the cooking process. When the liquid cools, it will be pumped into a stainless steel tank where yeast is added and the fermentation takes place.
Nine fermentation tanks holding 250 liters are distributed among three breweries located in the Even Yehuda Industrial Park, in what was once a salad factory. Dagan Bar-Ilan, Eshel's older brother, says that the fermentation tanks are the bottleneck of the brewery; if there were more of them, a lot more beer could be brewed. Dagan began brewing beer three years ago, following a trip to the United States. He recruited brother Rotem to handle design and labeling, and together they created a beer called "The Bear Brewery."
After a few brews the brothers decided that they didn't want to be "just another brewery", and they founded Nation Brewery—a platform for brewing beers. This brewery allows anyone who has a recipe to use the facility, and, after a few weeks, they leave with full barrels or bottles of beer.
Who is this good for? It is good for restaurants and bars that want to add exclusive beers to their menus, and it's good for home brewers, who want to see the beer they brewed in their kitchens turn into 200 liters. As of this writing, 60 brews have taken place, each one costing about 4,000 NIS depending on the demands of the recipe.
Aside from the commercial brews, Nation Brewery's space is used as a playground for "Beer Geeks." For instance, a study was conducted with 12 home brewers to assess the effect of using different types of yeast with the same grape juice.
When I left the brewery in the early afternoon, another debate was raging over the advantages and disadvantages of disposable beer barrels. It seems that brewers argue a lot, but, in this type of atmosphere, not to worry—you can always end an argument with another fresh glass of beer.
The BEERS 2012 Exposition, held last week for the second time in Tel Aviv, provided an excellent opportunity to taste the beers that are made in Nation Brewery, and a few additional beers that were specially made for this event.
KELLER, Winemakers' beer
A special edition that was made at Nation Brewery especially for the exposition, made by winemakers Ori Hetz (Château Golan), Gabi Sadan (Shvo Vineyards) and Naama Sorkin (Dalton). All proceeds from the sale are being donated to the "Nalaga'at" center in Jaffa. Fermented in wine yeast, aged in wood with Muscat grape juice added to it, they created a light beer, sour and dry, with apple scents and very delicately carbonated. Price: 140NIS per 750 ml bottle, available in restaurants.
Hefer Valley-based Alexander Brewery's dark beer has hints of coffee, chocolate and carob, a rich and firm structure, an intricate yet balanced taste of roasting, and a bittersweet finishing touch. It has seven percent alcohol allowing it to age well. Price: 16NIS per 330 ml per bottle.
The Bear Brewery and the Nation Brewery, Private Label
IPS style beer, with aromas characteristic of citrus fruit, hops and ginger. It has a rich texture, lightly carbonated, a dry and bitter taste with a nice aftertaste. For those that come to the exposition, it is better to begin with lighter beers. Price: 15 NIS per 330ml per bottle.
MALKA, Wheat
There is no need to introduce the Malka brewery to beer lovers. Three beers that are regularly brewed there already have many fans. The brewery's wheat beer is a little disappointing, especially because of the ripe and sweet aromas that take over. The beer takes on a heavy amount of wheat, and I am sure that many people will like it. Price: 15 NIS per 330ml per bottle.

Rookie Premier Kathleen Wynne's throne speech promised to make the minority parliament work by embracing ideas the opposition parties could support after a bitterly divisive fall session.
But the Progressive Conservatives made it clear they weren't interested in hugging it out.
The only way to rescue the province from financial ruin is to "change the team," said Opposition Leader Tim Hudak, adding that his party will vote against the speech.
"I just think the approach that says, a little bit of PC, a little bit of NDP and a whole lot of Dalton McGuinty isn't going to get us out of this mess," he said.
"What I heard today was Premier Wynne deciding to entrench the McGuinty agenda that brought us the biggest jobs and debt crisis that we've seen in our lifetimes."
The New Democrats will vote for the throne speech and stave off an election for now, said NDP Leader Andrea Horwath.
But that support will disappear if her list of demands aren't in the spring budget, she said.
"I've been pretty clear. The expectations are not outrageous, they're not unachievable," Horwath said.
"They're things that I need to see in the budget. That's it."
It's the clearest sign yet that Ontario could be plunged in an election this spring, unless the Liberals can persuade one of the parties to support their fiscal plan.
The speech laid out their blueprint for the new legislative session, promising to pay down Ontario's $12-billion deficit while building a "fair society" that leaves no one behind.
It also promised to work collaboratively with the opposition parties "in the spirit of renewed co-operation" to get things done.
Wynne expressed hope that her overtures would encourage the opposition parties to work out their differences.
"I think that there is lots for both opposition parties to work with us on," she said. "I hope that they're able to see that."
Improving homecare and tackling youth unemployment are issues that all three parties can get behind, she said.
"Those are things that really are not partisan issues," Wynne said. "Those are concerns of the people of the province."
The Liberals also promised in the speech to keep a close eye on corporate taxes, work with public sector workers on wage talks and give local residents more say in whether they get a wind farm, gas plant or casino.
They plan to restrain spending to one per cent below gross domestic product once the budget is balanced in 2017-18 — something the Liberals believed the Tories would support.
They also said they'd "evaluate corporate tax compliance," which the NDP wanted.
The Liberals also reached out to the opposition parties on the Employer Health Tax, saying they'd consider raising the exemption threshold.
Currently, businesses don't have to pay the tax on the first $400,000 of payroll, but the NDP wanted to end the exemption for businesses with payrolls over $5 million.
The Liberals promised to tackle youth and aboriginal unemployment, while making efforts to give people with disabilities better access to jobs. The government will also contribute $50 million to a new venture capital fund to give small- and medium-sized businesses a leg up, the speech said.
At the same time, they'll let people on social assistance keep more of their earnings when they work.
As for the Liberals' rocky relationship with labour groups and teachers angry over imposed contracts, the government will "build a sustainable model for wage negotiations" that will respect collective bargaining, the speech stated.
"It will show its respect for teachers, support staff, principals and school boards," Lt. Gov. David Onley said as he read the speech.
Union leaders said there are ongoing talks about bringing back extracurricular activities, but their members are looking for something more concrete.
"I didn't hear anything in particular in the throne speech that gave me any other sense of encouragement or hope," said Sam Hammond, president of the Elementary Teachers' Federation of Ontario.
The Liberals said they'd make transit, roads and bridges a priority, hinting that improving such infrastructure may require politically unpopular levies.
Provincially funded Metrolinx is musing about charging commuters for parking at their GO Transit stations — something the Liberals promised they wouldn't do last year when they hiked licence and registration fees.
But Wynne said it's too early to say which "revenue tools" should be used.
Municipalities should have a say in it, as well as a voice in their regional development, the speech said.
"So that local populations are involved from the beginning if there is going to be a gas plant or a casino or a wind plant or a quarry in their hometown," Onley read.
