text: URMC / Labs / Maquat Lab Normal & Disease-Associated RNA Decay The pioneer translation initiation complex is functionally distinct from but structurally overlaps with the steady-state translation initiation complex. Half of the research in the Maquat lab focuses on NMD, which likely evolved to safeguard cells from potentially deleterious proteins produced as a consequence of routine mistakes in gene expression. In mammalian cells, these mistakes include inaccuracies in transcription initiation or pre-mRNA splicing, and ineffective somatic DNA rearrangements of the type that characterize the immunoglobulin and T-cell receptor genes. These mistakes often result in mRNAs having reading frames upstream of the usual reading frame, frameshift mutations that generate nonsense codons, or nonsense mutations. NMD also down-regulates a number of naturally occurring transcripts in mechanisms that maintain cellular homeostasis, including some selenoprotein mRNAs and alternatively spliced transcripts. Models of nonsense-mediated mRNA decay (NMD) and Staufen1(STAU1)-mediated mRNA decay (SMD). Recently, we tracked single mRNA molecules within cells in collaboration with Rob Singer's lab to verify that NMD indeed occurs on the cytoplasmic side of the nuclear envelope, with a half-life of less than one minute once the mRNA is in the cytoplasm. We have also characterized how newly synthesized mRNAs are remodeled during the pioneer round of translation and during the process of mRNA decay. The other half of our research focuses on a mechanistically related pathway called Staufen1(STAU1)-mediated mRNA decay (SMD), or other pathways that are mediated by the double-stranded RNA-binding protein STAU1. SMD degrades mRNAs that harbor a STAU1-binding site in their 3'-untranslated regions (3'UTRs). Remarkably, depending on the particular mRNA, SBSs can be formed by (i) intramolecular base-pairing within a 3'UTR or (ii) intermolecular base-pairing between an mRNA 3'UTR and a long non-coding RNA (lncRNAs) or between an mRNA 3'UTR and another mRNA 3'UTR. Intermolecular base-pairing between an mRNA 3'UTR and a lncRNA or between two different mRNA 3'UTRs occurs via partially complementary Alu elements, thus describing new functions for these short interspersed elements (SINEs). We have shown the importance of SMD to myogenesis, keratinocyte motility, and the migration and invasion of human pancreatic adenocarcinoma cells. A 19-bp stem is key for STAU1 binding to the 3'UTR of ARF1 mRNA. Like microRNAs, more than one lncRNA or mRNA can target a single mRNA, and a single lncRNA can target more than one mRNA. Only those strands of a mRNA-lncRNA or mRNA-mRNA duplex that are translated are subject to SMD, explaining why we have yet to detect a lncRNA targeted for SMD. We have named these lncRNAs ½-sbsRNAs since they constitute one strand of an SBS. Notably, the STAU2 paralog of STAU1 also functions in SMD and, like STAU1, can homodimerize as well as form heterodimers with STAU1. In fact, homo- and hetero-multimers may exist. We have determined the X-ray crystal structure of a dimerization interface, which involves interactions between a new motif, which we have named the STAU-swapping motif, a degenerate RNA-binding domain. Remarkably, we have found that B SINES in mouse, which evolved independently of human Alu elements, also populate mRNA 3'UTRs and lncRNAs and can likewise base-pair to form SBSs and trigger SMD. In other studies, we have found that STAU1 binding to 3'UTR inverted Alu elements competes with binding of the largely nuclear paraspeckle protein p54nrb and largely cytoplasmic protein kinase R (PKR) to mediate, respectively, the nuclear export and cytoplasmic translation of a number of mRNAs that contain these elements. Thus, STAU1 binding to 3'UTR inverted Alu elements, like removal of these elements by alternative RNA 3'-end cleavage and polyadenylation, obviates a PKR-mediated innate immune response to cytoplasmic 3'UTR inverted Alu elements. Our on-going studies of NMD and dsRNA-binding protein-mediated RNA metabolism include computational analyses of cellular transcripts, proteomic studies of cellular RNA-binding proteins using mass spectrometry, and deep sequencing of cellular RNAs to gain insight into molecular mechanisms and how they can be attenuated for therapeutic purposes.

"SOOO GOOD :-)Yum! My Mom made her Baked Beans all most like these but she never measured anything (she taught me to cook the same way) which is fine, I never get complaints. The only difference I see is Mom didn't put hot pepper sauce in her B.B. I lost my Mom/Best Friend/Hero in 1995 but her great cooking and cooking skills ( No Box Dinners only from scratch) will live on until I pass. Try These, They are super good.."

She Had To Die!
One of Ruth Snyder's Crimes Was Murder
October/november 1980 | Volume 31, Issue 6
The newspaper-reading public, which doubted Ruth Snyder and condemned her, eagerly supported her right to die in the electric chair. State senator William Lathrop Love of Brooklyn urged "equal 'rights' for Women Criminals." "Women should suffer the same penalties that are meted out to men for the crimes they commit," he maintained. "If a woman enters the competition with men, she has a chance to gain the same ends, and I see no reason why she should not suffer the same penalties." While the verdict was being awaited in the Snyder case, several papers published accounts of the death in 1899 of Martha Place, the last woman to die in the electric chair in New York; and the Mirror quoted approvingly from then-governor Theodore Roosevelt's decision denying clemency: "In the commission of a crime...I would deal with the woman as with the man—no whit differently." On January 10, 1928, while Snyder and Gray waited on death row at Sing Sing, Governor Smith issued a similar statement denying their application for executive clemency. "The execution of this judgment on a woman is so distressing," he said, "that I had hoped that the appeal to me for executive clemency would disclose some fact which would justify my interference with the processes of the law. But this did not happen." Pleased with Smith's decision, the New York Times said in an editorial: "Equal suffrage has put women in a new position. If they are equal with men before the law, they must pay the same penalties as men for transgressing it."
Feminists scarcely could quarrel with the argument for equal rights, yet in this case it smacked unmistakably of expediency rather than justice. No one could claim that Snyder and Gray had been treated "no whit differently" in the courtroom, where Snyder had been tried for adultery and murder, Gray for murder alone. But Ruth Snyder had claimed for herself sexual prerogatives that belonged only to men; through her execution the full implications of "equality" could be brought home to feminists and flappers alike. Arguing that both Gray and Snyder should be executed, Willard Mack gave away the vindictiveness behind the equal rights argument. Ruth Snyder had wanted "one bed" with her lover, Mack said. Let her have "one chair."
In the last act of the drama, both Snyder and Gray did go to the chair on the night of January 12, 1928. And even then Snyder got a bad press. When the sentence was passed on May 9, 1927, the "stone woman" became hysterical, and afterward in her cell she suffered from "nervous paralysis" and "epileptic spasms," which the papers called "the forerunners of insanity." Gray, on the other hand, received the sentence "with calmness and prayer." "Gray finds enough of traditional manhood in him to take his medicine without whining," reported the Mirror. But "Ruth Snyder—woman—turns to the immemorial device of her sex to wring pity from male hearts. Already she is ill and suffering. Expect her to grow worse and worse as the hour of atonement nears." In keeping with a Sing Sing tradition of executing the more distraught prisoner first, she went first to the electric chair. She was a "a disheveled wreck" in a drab prison shirtwaist and smock; her blonde hair had gone almost gray. She entered the death chamber murmuring prayers, but cried out and collapsed when she saw the electric chair and had to be lifted into it by the two matrons who accompanied her. Quickly the executioners strapped her in, the matrons retired, Warden Lewis Lawes, who opposed capital punishment, turned away, and while the priest intoned prayers and Snyder, sobbing, cried out, "Father, forgive them for they know not what they do," chief executioner Robert Elliott threw the switch. An imaginative reporter for the New York World wrote that as the current passed through her body, "her left hand twisted back and upward as if trying to escape the imprisoning strap and the index finger of this hand stiffened in a pointed accusation at herself." And an imaginative photographer from the Chicago Tribune, smuggled in by the New York Daily News in a last attempt to one-up the Mirror, raised his trouser leg and snapped her picture with a miniature camera strapped to his ankle. She died under the eyes of thirty reporters, doctors, and prison officials—all men—wearing a regulation football helmet wired to two thousand volts.
A few minutes later Judd Gray, wearing a well-pressed dark gray suit "with invisible stripe," entered the room with the prison chaplain. "Here was a man," said the New York Sun, "who was going to his death with a controlled spirit. He crossed the threshold without the need of a supporting hand. His step was firm and assured. He walked upright, with shoulders thrown back slightly. There was no weakening of the knees, no trembling of hands or lips." The chaplain recited the Beatitudes, and until the switch was thrown, Gray followed them inaudibly: "Blessed are the poor in spirit; for theirs is the kingdom of Heaven."

But did you ever notice they never really tell you how a guy went from owning one restaurant to owning 35 of them? Someplace between one and the next 12 he owned ,somebody made a decision or two, loaned, begged, borrowed, inherited, to make the turn in that corner, but they never give you that info I noticed.
As a small kid my mind was usually within itself, self-entertained. Entertained by things that required some input from me, like listening to the old radio shows where your imagination had to fill in the blanks, TV ruins this requirement.
My Mother read alot to me when I was very young. I only read what interested me but usually I was too busy drawing strange things and having adults and kids tell me I was "weird", "strange", whatever?
I was born in 1949 so I was the fresh audience for all of those wonderfull old Sci-Fi movies that filled our leisure moments and dreams. AND the Atomic secrets were going to be further unlocked and make all of our lives fantastic!!
My haunted house in my parent's basement when I was maybe 10 showed me some of the fun available in such a setting and that a setting could be physical or mental.
Almost every week people who come through my house will say how much imagination I have!! To which I point out, well, I'd better have something because I've never had any money!
This last Oct. somebody dumped off a large piece of a car body, all flexible plastic and it Does resemble a big shark mouth w/ eyes, and that it will be right here waiting to startle people when it attacks them! Next spring.

"If you can see, smell and taste beer, then you're qualified enough to be a judge" decrees Julian Grocock the CEO of SIBA, as we settle down at round tables with neat little lines of upturned glasses in front of us. The morning sun is shining outside and a cool breeze is blowing through the temporary marquee that houses us. Two long rows of casks span one side of the makeshift room, veiled under cooling blankets they conceal their identities like bank robbers. A detective for the day; it's my task to command this most delicious of identity parades and split these suspects out into mere foils and actual perpetrators. Some of these beers are guilty of being the best in their region and I'm not about to let them slip through the net, not on my watch.
Appearance first. I want clarity, a head that laces and lingers, subtle carbonation and signs of life. The aroma needs to tease and tantalise, a precis of what's to come, it must be fresh and vibrant, hoppy, fruity and malty. Taste is personal but off-flavours are universal, we'll have none of those. I want to drink a beer and be both pleased and intrigued, above all it must make me come back for more.
One by one the inspection is carried out, the same sequence each time, mechanical on the surface but deeply considered beneath. Lift to the light, swirl, smell, taste and score. No time at all passes and the job is done, decision made, judgment cast.
It's the SIBA South East Beer Festival 2010 and, on this occasion, the offender is easily ousted. Oakleaf Hole Hearted is head and shoulders above the rest. It's golden, new-penny-bright and peppered with just the right carbonation. It's toffee sweetness, floral-citrus hop and crisp, refreshing bitterness. Case closed.
Thanks to Eddie for the invitation to come and judge; a great day and an excuse to drink and talk beer with like minded people. Good to see Evin at The Kernel Brewery take four awards in the bottled beer category. The best beer I judged was the Hole Hearted but overall winner on the day was Westerham Audit Ale.

Yeah, that's a bit of an odd one, I agree. I gave saleability pretty much the same for every beer so that it sort of cancelled out. Very difficult to judge something like that and a completely different skill to judging the actual beer.

Gonna go out on a limb here, probably get abused for making beer pretentious and say that I disagree completely with "If you can see, smell and taste beer, then you're qualified enough to be a judge".
It's important to know a lot more than that if you're supposedly giving out an industry award to a brewery that could potentially improve their sales, have an effect on their livelihood etc. isn't it?
In fact... I feel a blog post coming on... watch this space!

I can see both sides of the arguement.
I agree with what you're saying, but at the same time the opinions of the people that will eventually buy and drink the beer are valid and valuable too ... regardless of their technical beer knowledge.
It's an interesting one. Looking forward to reading your blog on it! :) - 22 July 2010 at 14:48

Again, tend to disagree. Drinking beer and judging beer... completely different things. A case in point... a large brewery who I'm not going to name did a bunch of research into the "sunstruck" character that occurs when UV light hits beer, changes hop compounds to skunky thiols and occurs in green and flint (clear) bottles. As a beer judge, you should be able to pick this up and mark a beer down. This brewery realised that the skunky character is what the consumer associates with a premium quality mainstream beer (hence clear and green bottles in these categories) and worked hard to actively get this.
Someone who drinks beer and doesn't know the skunk flavour is negative and denotes aging and poor storage could possibly mark this highly. Someone who judges beer and understands off clavours and how they are developed would mark this beer down.
I know I'm splitting hairs, but I wouldn't (for example) ask my Mum to judge beer just because she is able to drink, see and smell it. Does this apply to sports? I can watch a boxing match... does that mean I'm qualified to judge it?

Just so we're clear, I'm totally with Kelly on this one.

Good points Kelly. I'm not disagreeing with you and the quote in my post was exactly that ... a quote, not necessarily my opinion.
I think you're right, a beer judge should be qualified to judge beer. If that's BJCP or otherwise, they need to have proven that they can judge beer accurately and correctly.
I still maintain that there is value in the "average" drinker's opinion though. Perhaps not as a beer judge, but as someone capable of making a judgement based on their taste. Surely what matters most is that the drinker will order a second pint?
If SIBA are happy to present awards based on the latter, then I don't see a problem with that. Perhaps more should be done to qualify the awards by making the selection process more prominent
To use the comparison to sport: Only a judge should be able to decide the winner of a match, basing the result on their technical knowledge of boxing. However, a group of fans would be more than qualified to decide the winner of a "match of the year" award, basing their decision on the match that they most enjoyed.
Thanks for taking the time to comment by the way, much appreciated. - 26 July 2010 at 14:47

Great Turning Resources
Our Library will be stocked with an ever-changing collection of links to articles, books, presentations and websites about The Great Turning, from a wide variety of inspiring sources. For starters -
Discussion Guide for The Great Turning: From Empire to Earth Community
There are many ways to facilitate a deeper discussion of the ideas presented in The Great Turning. Our hope is that your discussions not only plumb the intellectual understanding of the ideas in The Great Turning, but also connect participants to their personal experiences of the larger influences of Empire, and create new stories based on the principles of Earth Community.
The discussion guide is designed for five, two-hour sessions, which are aligned with each of the five parts in the book. Each session includes: a synopsis of the major ideas within the chapters, whole group discussion questions to explore intellectually, and questions for small groups and dyads (groups of two) to explore more personally.
Finding Our Power in the Great Turning
A public conversation between Joanna Macy and David Korten on the Great Turning at the Seattle Unity Church before 450 people on April 25. The event was organized by For the Grandchildren and moderated by Victor Bremson. Available in audio only.
Joanna Macy On-line
Joanna designed her website - www.joannamacy.net - "to open doors to the new bodies of thought, time-tested spiritual practices, and pioneering group methods, that I find to be powerful inspirations to understanding and action."
In her May 2008 Letter, Joanna reflects on her Spring travels, her public dialogue with David Korten at Seattle Unity Church on April 25, and her "grateful sense of how the work is spreading," in large part due to the network of facilitators working with her on The Work That Reconnects.
The Earth Charter (2000)
"We stand at a critical moment in Earth's history, a time when humanity must choose its future. As the world becomes increasingly interdependent and fragile, the future at once holds great peril and great promise. To move forward we must recognize that in the midst of a magnificent diversity of cultures and life forms we are one human family and one Earth community with a common destiny. We must join together to bring forth a sustainable global society founded on respect for nature, universal human rights, economic justice, and a culture of peace."
"Towards this end, it is imperative that we, the peoples of Earth, declare our responsibility to one another, to the greater community of life, and to future generations."
David Korten
"It is the premise of The Great Turning: From Empire to Earth Community that we humans stand at a defining moment that presents us with an irrevocable choice. Our collective response will determine how our time is remembered for so long as the human species survives. In the days now at hand, we must each be clear that every individual and collective choice we make is a vote for the future we of this time will bequeath to the generations that follow. The Great Turning is not a prophecy; it is a possibility."
"We humans live by stories. The key to making a choice for Earth Community is recognizing that the foundation of Empire's power does not lie in its instruments of physical violence. It lies in Empire's ability to control the stories by which we define ourselves and our possibilities in order to perpetuate the myths on which the legitimacy of the dominator relations of Empire depend. To change the human future, we must change our defining stories."
"We are not representatives of an alternative fringe minority. We are the cutting edge of a national supermajority and it is appropriate for us to speak with a clear and confident voice."
Joanna Macy
"Future generations, if there is a livable world for them, will look back at the epochal transition we are making to a life-sustaining society. And they may well call this the time of the Great Turning."
Thomas Berry
"History is governed by those overarching movements that give shape and meaning to life by relating the human venture to the larger destinies of the universe. Creating such a movement might be called the Great Work of a people. . . . The historical mission of our times is to reinvent the human—at the species level, with critical reflection, within the community of life-systems."
Riane Eisler
"All societies are patterned on either a dominator model—in which human hierarchies are ultimately backed up by force or the threat of force—or a partnership model, with variations in between."

Perception of Tissot Watches - Page 5
Obviously a post from someone who believes that `pedestrian` watches are for `pedestrian` people, and that only people with money and `taste` can appreciate these fine expensive watches.
There seems to be a human need to be above the pack and watch snobs are a prime example The fact that only another watch snob will appreciate your fine watch (that`s if they get a good look) does not deter them. They have bought themselves in to a high end club and they can look down on lesser mortals. Deluded is not the word...it`s worse.
How many people can honestly say that a watch made them think an individual was special in any way. The only thing it would say ( if watch noticed) is that the person can afford the cost,. or was daft enough to spend so much on it.
Personally if I had thought for one moment that a watch had the qualities ascribed to them by these snobs, I would have made sacrifices to obtain.one. In the past to get a good looking reliable watch you had to pay a substantial amount, but this has changed dramatically over the years. What is worse is that these snobs think people who are happy and appreciate lesser watches are the deluded ones, and give prose on the movements and fine details on these expensive watches. Of course if you can`t name the mechanical movements and their history you are really low down the food chain..
Spend < $200 on a watch or spend > $2000. There's not much of a point in buying anything in between. Most people who buy the truly "high end" watches do so for their own enjoyment. You're missing the point.
I`ve said my piece, and making silly rules on price bands does not help. Yes, I very much get the point
I`m sure people enjoy very high end watches, and if they can afford them that`s terrific for them, but it`s when they get silly about it, write columns, make snooty posts, and make jibes at `lesser` `mortals that they show their stupidness.
There always will be versions of goods for people who have large incomes - It`s the way the world works. If I were rich I`d want one too, but I would not pass comments on how people are missing the wonderful merits of these watches and wouldn`t appreciate one if they had one..
The previous poster showed how futile it is to make a world of owning these high priced overkill objects and I`ve read many like it. I`ve also read many posts from people who use expensive watches as well as cheap ones and question how much better their expensive purchases are.
I'm wondering what the watch community and the general public think of Tissot watches. I had a TAG Heuer that I wore for about 3 years (got it cheap, less than $1k, I refuse to pay more than $1k for a watch until I'm really, really ballin', even then I might not, I know that sounds crazy to watch people, but I just can't justify it), but sold it because I got sick of wearing something for prestige that I didn't even really think was that interesting and cool looking of a watch. I know, sounds a bit crazy because that sort of is what watches are about, right? On the other hand, I refuse to wear Seiko, Citizen, Invicta, or any other brands in that range that I'm assuming you could purchase at Walmart. Whether that's true or not, I don't know, but I view them as cheap, pointless watches that wouldn't ever touch my wrist. Basically, I won't buy anything that's not Swiss Made. I went to a local jeweler and came across this watch: http://www.shoptissot.com/product/T17148653.html http://www.amazon.com/Tissot-T17-1-4...6026053&sr=1-2 It's one of the most beautiful, sturdily built watches I've come across in the sub-1k range as I really don't like wearing something out and about that's worth so much money, but as much as I like it, am I going to be viewed as a poor bastard or is Tissot a respectable brand that one can be proud of wearing? Instead of suggesting other sub-1k alternatives, I'm really just curious about the question I asked. Even though I like the way the Tissot looks way better than the TAG, I can't convince myself to purchase the Tissot until I get a good opinion of how people view these watches as I do need to uphold a professional appearance. Thanks guys.
Hey Guy. I have owned a Tag Heuer for well over 10 years now, same model it's never missed a beat. Do I get comments on it? yeah.
How much is it worth, well back then around $2,500.00 But you know why I bought it, because I liked the look of it.
I mean the quality is great no doubt but would I pay $2.5k for this or any watch? Hell no!!!
Truth is I bought it at a 'pawn brokers' auction! It cost me $100.00. I took it to my jeweller, for $60.00 he appraised it, installed a new battery, new watch band and re fixed the seconds hand that had come off. I get a new battery every 2 years or so and its all good.
Over the years I have had a Fossil watch ($175.00) and recently bought a Casio G-shock ($250.00) just for a different look.
What I'm getting at is who cares what other people think, I get lots of comments on my Fossil, I still get lots of comments on my Tag Heuer, and the Casio? Well who cares it's reliable and I like the look of it that's the main thing. In fact the only reason I'm on this forum is I googled Tissot review and this was the first thing that came up. This review has helped me because from what I have read this brand sounds RELIABLE but most of all I like the look of the Tissot T-Race. In my opinion I think you need more hugs from friends and family that love you for who you are and less of giving a sh!t about complete strangers thoughts and opinions of your social status! cheers.
First of all tissot is not the lowest-end brand. period.
Second. Its not too prestigious a brand. period.
having said that. where does it stands on the spectrum b/w lowest and highest. well its an above average. i place it at number at number 3 or 4 towards hard ten. That would mean its not definitely going to make one look like poor-bastard. at the same time. its kinda not-too-bad brand. it wont get u respect but wont let n e one think of disrespecting u either.
hope this helps.
Famous Watch makers are from countries whose first language is mostly not english. i m no exception. I still can express my self in english while i bet people raising fingers at me know nothing about my native language. Secondly, every place has its own jargon like net used acronyms to reduce on-the-wire traffic etc and only foolish would argue about it.
you seem to have serious issues friend. here's an idea: sell all those 'expensive' clothes you have and buy an overpriced 'prestige' watch that satisfies your ego. i'm sure you will look the picture of class wearing a rolex with nothing else on. you are a TOOL, and amongst the biggest i have come across. It also looks like you have a serious inferiority complex, most likely linked to having a small penis. although i can't be sure of this, given a lot of what you say is indicative of you not having a penis to begin with.

"The officer told me I must confess… He then asked me questions: 'Did you fill up sand bags?… Did you carry arms?…' Every time I said no, a soldier standing behind me would hit me with a belt on my back."
Information researched by Amnesty International indicates that the death in custody at end of June of Nader al-Bayoumi, a 35-year-old man detained by the Lebanese army following armed clashes between the military and followers of Sunni Muslim cleric Sheikh Ahmed al-Asseer in the southern city of Sidon, resulted from torture. The case appears to fit into a broader set of allegations of torture and other ill-treatment against some of the dozens detained by the Lebanese army, including Army Intelligence, following the clashes.
Amnesty International has reviewed images of the body of Nader al-Bayoumi, who was arrested on 24 June and returned dead to his family on 27 June, and noted signs of horrific abuse. A forensic pathologist who reviewed the images concluded that the bruising on the body was consistent with assault and suggested internal haemorrhage was a possible cause of death.
Amnesty International has spoken to three released detainees, including a 15-year-old child, who said they were subjected to torture and other ill-treatment and not allowed to contact their families or a lawyer during their detention. Two of the released detainees, including the child, said they were forced to sign documents they were not allowed to read. All three said they witnessed other detainees being subjected to torture or other ill treatment, indicating that their experiences were not isolated incidents.
Amnesty International has also reviewed videos that were circulated on social media showing two separate incidents of soldiers beating up a detainee.
The Lebanese authorities must ensure that full, independent and impartial investigations are opened immediately into both the death in custody of Nader al-Bayoumi and the other allegations of torture and other ill-treatment. Wherever sufficient admissible evidence is uncovered, those suspected of responsibility should be brought to justice in proceedings which meet international standards of fairness and without recourse to the death penalty.
Amnesty International is concerned for detainees still held by the Lebanese army, including Army Intelligence, who it believes are at risk of torture or other ill-treatment.
The Lebanese authorities must take immediate steps to prevent any further acts of torture or other ill-treatment at detention facilities run by the Lebanese army, including Army Intelligence. Detainees must be granted access to their families and lawyers of their own choosing and provided with any medical attention they may require. Detainees should be released or charged without delay with internationally recognizable offences and tried promptly in accordance with international fair trial standards in civilian courts. Statements extracted under torture or other ill-treatment must not be used as evidence against them.
Sidon clashes
The clashes between the Lebanese army and armed supporters of Sheikh Ahmed al-Asseer began on 23 June 2013, reportedly after the latter attacked an army checkpoint in response to the arrest of one of the cleric's supporters. The clashes lasted for two days and took place in 'Abra, a district in the east of the southern city of Sidon. On 24 June 2013, the Lebanese army took control of al-Asseer's main base in 'Abra, the Bilal bin Rabah mosque complex, where he and supporters of his, many of them armed, were holed up.

- Excerpt From Mark Higgins Rallying (A Firm) V. The Commissioners For Her Majesty's Revenue And Customs:
Since the decision of the Supreme Court of Canada in St. Michael Trust Corp., as Trustee of the Fundy Settlement v. Her Majesty the Queen., 1 the tax community has been abuzz with the fact that trusts are now subject to the same "central management and control" test applicable to corporations when determining the residence of a trust. In Mark Higgins Rallying (a firm) v. The Commissioners for Her Majesty's Revenue and Customs, the First-Tier Tribunal (Tax Chamber) concluded that the "management and control" test applicable to corporations was also applicable to partnerships. That case conducted an excellent analysis of what this phrase really means from a UK context. In a nutshell, the Tribunal concluded that the case law has identified the following principles:
(1) The residence of a company is where the directors meet and transact their business and exercise the powers conferred upon them;
(2) The determination of management and control is a question of fact and, consequently, there is no presumption that management and control will be found where the directors meet;
(3) In considering the facts, it must be determined (a) who was managing the business by making high-level decisions, and (b) where those persons were making such decisions.

Jacksonville police: Customer shot robber 3 times; 2nd suspect arrested | News - Home
A gentleman shopping in a Jacksonville Dollar General overhears/witness two BG's holding up the manager, demanding money.
One thug drops his *airsoft* pistol, but the other dosn't, and receives 1.35 combined inches of compliance.
Good shoot and very positive response from JSO and the locals.Quote:
JSO Lt. Rob Schoonover said the customer was visibly upset when he was interviewed by homicide detectives that night.
"He was in a business shopping, minding his own business," Schoonover said. "He put himself in harm's way by getting involved. To me, that's an extraordinary person to do that."
.....and just for discussions sake, what would you have/have not done if placed in this similar situation...?

Magento Connect 2.0
Magento Connect 2.0
The Magento RMA extension allows you to organize a system for customers to request a return without any efforts. With the help of the module, clients can return the products bought, have them replaced or refunded within the admin specified warranty period.
Our RMA (Return Merchandise Authorization) extension provides the highest standards of customer service. It is an efficient method of controlling the return or exchange of items sold to customers, ensuring visibility, and tracking of the item until the transaction is concluded.
Take your customer service to the next level with the Magento Returns module.
RMA is also available for Magento 2 stores.
Live Demo:
Customer's Account Page
Guest Checkout
Visit Extension Page:
Intuitively understandable frontend interface
Having selected the required order and products, customers can choose the request type, specify the package condition, attach a file, add a couple of words as comments, and agree with RMA policy.
Anonymous RMA
You can allow guests to make an RMA request ֠everything they should specify is the email address and order ID.
Option to return one product per order
If your customers bought several items per order, they can select which of them they want to return.
Ability to refund/replace separate bundle product components
If your customers bought bundle products, they can select which components they want to return.
Ability to create RMA request from backend
Our Magento module allows store administrators to create return merchandise authorization requests for orders in one click from the backend.
Unlimited number of request types and statuses
By default, there are two request types ֠replacement and refund. But if you need more (repair, credit for another product, or anything else), you can easily create them as well as new statuses in the backend.
RMA policy
You can easily set up terms and conditions for RMA requests and show them to customers in My Account area. Clients will not be able to create a request without accepting the RMA policy.
Total control over every aspect of the extension:
Multistore support
You can specify the store view for each request type and status.
Easy RMA tracking
With the print labels and unique tracking codes, you get protection against fraudulent returns and can easily follow not only RMA requests but products returned as well.
Flexible email notifications management
This Magento extension allows defining who will receive RMA notifications ֠the store admin, the customer, or both. You can even create a separate RMA department with specified email and address.
RMA requests grid on the order page
With the RMA extension, you can track and control the return or exchange of items sold to customers exactly on the Order page.
Requests history
Our Magento extension retains an unlimited history of all RMA requests. You can export all requests to CSV and have the data at your disposal anytime.

text: Newly Discovered Molecule Will Make Rocket Fuel Super EfficientKit Eaton - FastCompany12/24/10 11:00amFiled to: Rocketsrocket fuelMoleculeMoleculesScienceTrinitramidSpaceRepublished75EditPromoteShare to KinjaToggle Conversation toolsGo to permalinkSwedish scientists have just discovered a new molecule—one that has the potential of boosting future rocket fuel efficiency by 20 to 30% compared to the best fuels around today.AdvertisementThe discovery was made at the Royal Institute of Technology in Sweden. The molecule is called trinitramid—chemical formula N(NO2)3. It's the largest nitrogen-oxygen molecule so far, and the first discovered since the 18th century. Trinitramid was found by accident when the Swedish team was using quantum chemical computations to study the breakdown of a different compound—as part of a search for better alternatives to today's solid rocket fuel.They've now synthesized it, and are studying how stable the molecule is in everyday situations, but they've already discovered that as an additive to solid fuels it could be up to 30% more efficient than existing fuel. Rocket scientists have a rule of thumb that says a 10% increase in rocket fuel burning efficiency translates into a doubling of payload. This means that trinitramid could easily quadruple the payload that solid rockets can fire into space.AdvertisementAnd since it is formed of such simple chemistry, the new molecule is kinder to the planet. The launch of the Space Shuttle dumps some 550 tons of hydrochloric acid into the atmosphere as its booster rockets burn. NASA has been investigating solid boosters for future rocket designs, including the stalled Ares 1-X system, and a more efficient solid fuel would be a boon for the burgeoning commercial space launch industry in the future.Fast Company empowers innovators to challenge convention and create the future of business.

(al´g&-rith-&m) (n.) An algorithm is a formula or set of steps for solving a particular problem. To be an algorithm, a set of rules must be unambiguous and have a clear stopping point. Algorithms can be expressed in any language, from natural languages like English or French to programming languages like FORTRAN.
Examples of Algorithms
We use algorithms every day. For example, a recipe for baking a cake is an algorithm. Most programs, with the exception of some artificial intelligence applications, consist of algorithms. Inventing elegant algorithms -- algorithms that are simple and require the fewest steps possible -- is one of the principal challenges in programming.
