Live Oak Recovery Following Katrina
Fulghams Inc.'s patented technology not only keeps the vigor in trees, but it can also reverse the negative effects that hurricanes cause to the soil. To say that Hurricane Katrina was a devastating storm is an understatement. The storms had winds that reached up to 160 MPH and had surge waters that exceeded 25 feet in some areas. One aspect of the storm that didn't get much attention is the adverse affect it had on the Live Oak population all along the Gulf Coast. The 160 MPH gust caused major damage by blowing bark, leafs, and branches off the trees (if they weren't uprooted). Another negative effect of the storm was the surge water. The standing water cut off the oxygen supply to the root system and dumped large quantities of salt into the soil.
Fulghams Inc.'s cutting-edge technology is able to reverse the negative impacts that Hurricane Katrina caused to the soil. A grid pattern (which is illustrated below) is laid out under the canopy of the tree to maximize its effectiveness of the treatment. The machine Fulghams Inc. uses does a two-in-one combination with each treatment. Fulgham's Inc. uses an aeration/deep root stimulation process to rehabilitate the feeder roots of the tree. This process helps alleviate soil compaction and re-develop the soil flora found in a forest soil. The liquid injection that is used in this process is a close kept trade secret and is high in micronutrients that are vital to the tree's well being. This liquid injection also helps break down the high salt concentrations left by hurricanes.
The pictures below show Katrina's extensive damage to Live Oaks, and a timeline of a tree that Fulgham's Inc. treated in Town Green Park in Bilox, MS.

Measuring Real-Time Wave Data with Ocean Wave Buoy
Integral Consulting
ARPA-E Award:
Seattle, WA
Project Term:
04/05/2013 to 08/31/2017
Project Status:
Technical Categories:
Critical Need:
Renewable energy is critical to our environmental, economic, and national security. Demand for energy is on the rise, as is our national reliance on fossil fuel-based power plants for the bulk of our electricity generation. There is a drastic need for safe, clean, and cost-effective alternatives to coal, such as wind, solar, hydroelectric, and geothermal power. These technologies would reduce carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions and help position the U.S. as a leader in the global renewable energy industry.
Project Innovation + Advantages:
Integral Consulting is developing a cost-effective ocean wave buoy system that will accurately measure its own movements as it follows the surface wave motions of the ocean and relay this real-time wave data. Conventional real-time wave measurement buoys are expensive, which limits the ability to deploy large networks of buoys. Data from Integral Consulting's buoys can be used as input to control strategies of wave energy conversion (WEC) devices and allow these controlled WECs to capture significantly more energy than systems that do not employ control strategies. Integral Consulting's system will also enable assessment of the optimal locations and designs of WEC systems. Integral Consulting's ocean wave buoy system could measure and relay real-time wave data at 10% the cost of commercially available wave measurement systems.
Potential Impact:
If successful, Integral Consulting's wave measurement system would enable more efficient and cost-effective ocean energy conversion systems and provide the innovative step forward to propel WEC designs from a niche technology to an affordable energy resource for the U.S.
Increased availability of renewable power would help diversify the U.S. energy portfolio, allowing homeowners and businesses access to a grid that is less dependent on any one source of power. Providing clean electricity would significantly reduce the greenhouse gas emissions associated with electricity generation. Presently, over 40% of U.S. CO2 emissions come from electricity generation.
Providing clean electricity would significantly reduce the greenhouse gas emissions associated with electricity generation. Presently, over 40% of U.S. CO2 emissions come from electricity generation.
Enabling alternative sources of energy like WEC could help stabilize and reduce the price of energy. This could result in significant cost savings over fossil fuels in the years to come.
Innovation Update:
(As of March 2017)
The Integral Consulting team has developed first- and second-generation wave-by-wave measurement systems with accuracy comparable to current off-the-shelf devices and at a tenth of the cost. Integral plans to begin selling its first-generation product, the WaveSpotter V1, in 2017. First-market applications include offshore oil and gas rig monitoring, maritime traffic, oceanic research and modeling, among others. Success in these early markets will enable the team to scale production of the product. Integral is working closely with WEC manufacturers to develop active tuning methodologies and protocols, so that by the time WaveSpotter V2 is commercially ready, the market will be more fully developed.
The Integral team approached its technology development by focusing on cost reduction in its first-generation product, and then outfitted the device with wave-by-wave measurement capability in its second generation. The team leveraged low-cost microprocessor control board technologies and incorporated synchronized GPS, an inertial measurement unit, and wireless data communication with microelectrochemical systems technologies to overcome the first technical challenge of an extreme reduction in cost compared to industry standard, spectrally based buoys. The result was WaveSpotter V1, a spectral binning-based wave measurement buoy product available at one-tenth the cost of state-of-the-art wave measurement systems. The team then developed the next generation system to produce wave-by-wave measurements. This stage presented the challenge of filtering noisy data, which the team was able to overcome by using real-time filtering techniques developed for the aerospace industry. The resulting product, WaveSpotter V2, has been field-tested off the coasts of Waimanalo, HI; Santa Cruz, CA; and Santa Barbara, CA; and has demonstrated real-time communication of highly accurate (less than 5% difference compared to commercial off the shelf devices), real-time wave measurement data.

Packers and movers in India is the new booming industry
It is quite astonishing to see that the relocation industry in India is budding with such leaps and bounds. But one of the backdrops of such business is its unorganized way of evolving. There is no such law to revert back to any follies of such industry. Neither it has any internal auditory module nor does it have a fixed earning to have check on its growth. This has made it easier for anyone to rent a place and open up a company of Packers and Movers in India.
But none the less, such industries are developing in different ways and are recognized as the next fast growing industry after the IT sector in India. The reasons for its establishment in such a pace can be noted a few:
- Ever increasing population in India,
- Sudden divisions of joint family,
- Students opting for studying across the city,
- People coming in to reside for work purposes,
- The requirement to move in new places without any hassles.
The technology is the guide light. The relocation companies are trying to improve their standards by getting into the know-how of tools that would give the customers a better service. Mobile applications and the GPS tracking system make the service more users friendly and reliable. Hence, the software has made it an improved service with credible development.
There are some radical changes and modifications which gives the industry a push. With the advancement of digitalization and online marketing strategy it has become like a cakewalk to hire a shifting company for your need. With the online services available you do not need to go the office and visit them giving your schedule a drop. You can check the company's website and compare their work by reading the reviews given on the internet and decide whether to choose them or not. After you have made a decision, give them a call, and they will be at your service.
So, doesn't it sound easy? Indeed it is. The virtual world has given a new look to the old and traditional way of choosing a company for packing and unpacking your belongings in the new domain of yours. Hence, they can be a good safe when you are already going through adrenaline rush when you look around your belongings at the time of move.

You can download Freelance Design Invoice Template Indesign in your computer by clicking resolution image in Download by size:. Don't forget to rate and comment if you interest with this wallpaper.
Freelance design invoice template indesign – Invoicing clients for products and services is a natural part of doing business but having to continually prepare invoices often becomes a repetitive job. This is why it makes great sense to use an invoice template.
Not only does a great looking statement project more of a professional image, but it will also allow you to prepare your bills much faster and with much less fuss. In addition to this, each invoice becomes standardized, meaning they all follow a similar layout and format, making book keeping and tax processing, again, much simpler.
Typically, a standard template includes all the basic elements required in order to compile a comprehensive invoice. Templates are also designed to allow the insertion of your business details like logo, company name, address and other contact information like telephone number, email and fax. With these details in place, clients can immediately identify with your invoices as having originated from your place of business, which then can expedite payments, filing and general administrative tasks. Standard invoices will also help streamline in house business administrative tasks too.
Remember, efficiency is the key, of course along with professionalism. The basic principle of having a ready made template is to expedite the entire process of invoicing, without sacrificing quality or short cutting professionalism. This is where an invoice template can be extremely helpful to your business. Check it out the sample of freelance design invoice template indesign below at the attachment page.

Bahr, André; Nürnberg, Dirk; Schönfeld, Joachim; Garbe-Schönberg, Carl-Dieter (2011): Stable isotope and geochemical analyses of sediment core SO164-17-2 from the southern Florida Straits. PANGAEA, https://doi.org/10.1594/PANGAEA.759379, Supplement to: Bahr, A et al. (2011): Hydrological variability in Florida Straits during marine isotope stage 5 cold events. Paleoceanography, 26, PA2214, https://doi.org/10.1029/2010PA002015
Always quote above citation when using data! You can download the citation in several formats below.
Modeling and proxy studies indicate that a reduction of Atlantic Meridional Overturning Circulation (AMOC) strength profoundly impacts temperatures and salinities in the (sub)tropical Atlantic, especially on subsurface levels. While previous studies focused on prominent periods of AMOC reduction during the last deglaciation, we aim to test whether similar reconfigurations of the subtropical hydrography occurred during the moderate climatic alterations punctuating the last interglacial, Marine Isotope Stage (MIS) 5. Here, we present temperature and salinity records from a Florida Straits core by combining d18O and Mg/Ca analyses on surface (Globigerinoides ruber, white) and deep-dwelling (Globorotalia crassaformis) foraminifera, covering MIS 5 in high resolution. The data reveal increasing salinities at intermediate depths during interglacial cooling episodes, decoupled from relatively stable surface conditions. This probably indicates the spatial expansion of saline Subtropical Gyre waters due to enhanced Ekman downwelling and might also point to a changed density structure and altered geostrophic balance in Florida Straits. Notably, these oceanographic alterations are not consistently occurring during periods of AMOC reduction. The data suggest that the expansion of gyre waters into Florida Straits was impeded by the increasing influence of Antarctic Intermediate Water (AAIW) from MIS 5.5 to ~107 kyr BP. Afterwards, increasingly positive benthic d13C values imply a recession of AAIW, allowing the temporary expansion of Gyre waters into Florida Straits. We argue that the inferred transient subtropical salt accumulation and warm pool expansion might have played a pivotal role in reinvigorating meridional overturning and dampen the severity of interglacial cold phases.

Teddy Picker
I was quite disappointed to learn today that, according to urbandictionary.com, a 'teddy picker' is 'a machine found at carnivals and fun-fairs, where one moves a robotic arm to pick up toys or in this case, a teddy bear.'
Hmmm, I thought it might have had a more interesting meaning, something to do with Teddy Boys perhaps or, as Deb speculated, something to do with Teddy underwear, but no. Ah well, despite having heard the song about a squillion times on the radio, I still think it sounds brilliant!!
Give the video 40seconds to kick in to the song proper!!

Designer Scott Wilson, the brains behind the $13 iBelieve iPod-crucifix-lanyard, said it celebrates both Jesus and the iPod.
Asked if it was genuinely Christian, or a comment on the popularity of ipods, Wilson replied:
"It is both. People will see what they want in it. They may want to visibly show their faith in a more fashionable way. The intertwined meaning is what is interesting. I think we are obsessed with objects today and none more than maybe the iPod. The idea was too funny, controversial, sad, not to visualize."

Lots of health professionals and fitness experts recommend people pick up a diet plan and stop just eating the first thing that looks good. That's good advice, since calorie intake has a big part to play in whether people are putting on weight or dropping it at the end of any given day. However, what are the benefits of the right diet plan, really? How does one's life improve when they make the conscious choice to eat a few less fatty, sugary treats and more of the fruits and vegetables their bodies are looking for?
When you get right down to it, a person's level of health is measured by a series of numbers. You're probably familiar with the weight or mass measurements, but what about blood pressure, or pulse readings, or protein or lipid counts in the blood, or even antibody and white blood cell counts? All of these are measured through numbers too, but most of us don't have the proper equipment sitting at home to measure these health indicators. That's why getting to a doctor or other physician is as important as changing the foods you eat.
The right diet plan will help you in many ways. Not only will it assist in keeping down counts for cholesterol, lipids, blood sugar and the levels of other items within your blood, but it will ultimately make it so you stop wanting to eat those fatty, sugary foods that make your blood go bad in the first place. Stress is a major factor behind the food and drink choices people make, and those who are stressed out often reach for alcohol or soda, or some of the comfort foods they really enjoy, hoping to take the edge off their current situation.
A proper diet plan for you involves more than just cutting out the foods and drinks that are bad for your body. You also need to increase your intake of healthy alternatives, usually by adding a little bit here and there, to the three or more meals you already eat in a day. The food guide pyramid is your friend here, since every meal you eat should have a representative from each portion of the pyramid in it. Get at least two cups of fresh fruit and one cup of fresh vegetables every day, and don't forget several ounces of whole grains; not that bleached, milled stuff they use to make white bread either.
If you don't buy vitamns, minerals and other supplements, this last major benefit will likely be lost to you. However, those who get all the vitamins, minerals and other nutrients from the foods and drinks they ingest don't need to take supplements to get those same nutrients from other sources. I don't know about you, but I'm all for putting one less pill into my body every day. Besides, those supplements are usually loaded with man-made vitamins and minerals, which don't absorb quite like their natural counterparts since they are, in essence, unnatural. This is a big benefit that shouldn't be ignored.

Metalworking fluids have typically been provided to the work zone at pressures below 20 psi. Conventional delivery systems use this relatively low pressure to "flood" the work area with fluid. High-pressure and high-volume metalworking fluid delivery systems provide pressures from several hundred to several thousand psi with volumes up to 50 gpm delivered to the workpiece.
Many of the basic functions that metalworking fluids perform, such as cooling, lubricating and chip removal, can be improved with the use of high-pressure and high-volume fluid. The metalworking process can be cooled more effectively when the fluid penetrates deeper into the work zone. Lubrication is provided into areas that may otherwise be unreachable. The high kinetic energy applied to the fluid will create a "thinner chip" which can be easily broken and removed from the cut zone, preventing chip re-cutting.
Process Considerations
Utilizing high-pressure and high-volume equipment with metalworking fluids will require certain process improvements. The machine needs to be enclosed to protect the operator and contain the fluid. Additional guarding may also be required to keep fluid away from hydraulic and electrical components. Precautions need to be taken to provide for operator safety, due to the high energy levels, which are applied to the fluid. Safety interlocks are necessary to automatically shut down the high-pressure pump, whenever the enclosure is opened.
Metalworking Fluid Considerations
Extra demands are placed on metalworking fluids that are used in high-pressure and high-volume applications. Most often, high-pressure fluids are applied in a "through-the-tool" fashion for machining operations that require close tolerances and excellent finish. The fluids used for these applications must possess strong properties in the following key areas:
A high-pressure pump with rapid circulation of fluid can cause high levels of agitation. Metalworking fluids for these applications must be designed to be inherently low foaming. A sufficiently large fluid reservoir is also needed, so that pump cavitation cannot occur. A fluid retention time of 10 minutes is recommended to minimize turbulence and maximize filtration. (For example, a 50 GPM filter system would require a 500 gallon tank for a 10 minute retention time.)
Since metalworking fluids are designed to provide lubrication and good cleanliness, it is not surprising that foam can be a "side effect". Fluids that generate large foam bubbles tend to break easily. The smaller bubbles can form stable foam are more of a problem. An antifoam or artificially hardening the water may be a temporary fix, but long term use or overuse can lead to mix instability and ultimately more foam.(see below)
Air entrainment, or the "cola" effect, is due to mechanical agitation (such as pumps, grinding wheels, and waterfalls) forcing dissolved air into the fluid. Generally it quickly dissipates, though it can cause the mix to become cloudy and/or misty.
Mix Stability
The high energy imparted to the fluid by a high pressure pump is rapidly dissipated when the fluid strikes the tooling fixtures and workpiece. This type of impact requires a chemically stable fluid that can withstand this rough physical treatment. Good water quality and minimizing fluid contamination is also important to maintain mix stability.
Thermal Resistance
During the operation of high pressure equipment, the fluid absorbs thermal energy from the pump, in addition to the operation itself. The fluid must be resistant to reasonable levels of thermal fluctuations. Temperature variations must be minimized in order to prevent dimensional changes in the workpiece. Rapid removal of cut chips from the work zone is needed to reduce the amount of heat that the fluid will absorb. The high pressure pump should only be run when needed, in order to minimize unnecessary thermal input into the fluid. Primary and auxiliary fluid pumps should be off, when not in use. A larger fluid reservoir can also help to dissipate the thermal energy load. A fluid chiller may be necessary, for continuous operations and high metal removal rates.
Shear Stability
Metalworking fluids need to be tolerant to the shearing action of a high pressure pump. Lubricants used in the fluids need to withstand the mechanical action of the pump. The high pressure pump should also be cycled to run when needed, and should not be deadheaded, when it is not in use.
Metalworking Fluid Recommendations
The selection of the proper metalworking fluid for any operation must be based upon a review of all aspects of the process. Operations using high pressure and high volume fluid are no exception. Contact your supplier to see what they recommend as an option for high pressure applications.

Stock has insufficient lint or pick resistance
Change paper. Consult paper supplier. Install a brush or vacuum type paper cleaner
Impression is improperly set for ink/stock combination
Set impression to manufacturer's specifications
Ink/water balance is improper
Adjust ink/water balance
Blanket is too tacky
Treat blanket surface to reduce tack. Change to a quick release blanket. Check blanket wash solution. Consult your blanket supplier
Blanket is improperly packed
Correct packing (under packing as well as over packing causes picking)
Ink formulation is too strong, forcing a thin ink film to be run
Use a weaker ink. Consult your Sun Chemical representative
Ink is unstable
Use a more stable, lubricated ink formulation. Consult your Sun Chemical representative

ALEXANDRIA, Va. — A New York Times reporter will be of little assistance to prosecutors as they put a former CIA officer on trial for allegedly leaking classified information about a botched operation in Iran.
Journalist James Risen testified Monday at an unusual pretrial hearing in U.S. District Court in Alexandria, where former CIA officer Jeffrey Sterling goes on trial next week on charges that he illegally leaked national security information to Risen that the journalist used in his 2006 book, "State of War." A chapter in the book details an apparently botched plan to provide Iran with flawed nuclear blueprints through a Russian intermediary.
For at least six years, Risen has been resisting prosecutors' efforts to compel his testimony, saying he has an obligation to protect the confidentiality of his sources. Ultimately, a federal appeals court ruled that Risen must testify and that he had no special privilege as a journalist to quash the subpoena.
Monday's hearing was designed to hammer out ahead of trial exactly what Risen would be willing to answer, and exactly what would be asked of him. The Justice Department, under pressure from free-press advocates, had previously said it would not try to press Risen on whether Sterling was his confidential source, and would limit its questions.
Still, at the outset of Monday's hearing — which marked Risen's first actual court appearance in the case despite years of legal wrangling — it appeared Risen was unwilling to answer anything but the most basic questions.
Wearing a pained expression through much of his testimony, Risen acknowledged that he had written certain newspaper articles and "State of War," and that he had used unnamed sources. But when he was asked whether he had confidentiality agreements with unnamed sources, he refused to answer, even though he had admitted as much in affidavits he had previously sworn out.
"I decline to answer the question. I don't want to provide information that I believe the government wants to use as a building block … in this case," Risen said.
Eventually, after Risen consulted with his lawyers, he confirmed that he promised confidentiality to certain sources. He also reiterated to prosecutors that he would not under any circumstances testify about the identity of his sources, or what information came from confidential sources.
Risen was somewhat more cooperative when defense lawyers cross-examined him. Risen acknowledged under cross-examination that, in previous affidavits, he said he made a conscious decision to publish the material in "State of War" because he felt the public had the right to know about a botched intelligence operation, drawing the parallel that bad intelligence about weapons of mass destruction in Iraq had led the country into war.
That admission is important to defense attorneys because they argue that, under the law and the government's theory of the case, Risen is just as guilty of exposing government secrets as Sterling. Defense lawyers are still seeking to have the case dismissed on the basis of selective prosecution.
After Risen completed his testimony, defense lawyer Edward MacMahon said the case against Sterling, of O'Fallon, Missouri, should be dismissed because Risen's unwillingness to testify in any detail leaves the government unable to prove key elements of the crime, including venue. Specifically, prosecutors must prove that the crimes occurred in the Eastern District of Virginia. Usually this is a formaility, but MacMahon suggested it will prove difficult without Risen's testimony, even though CIA headquarters are in the district, as is Sterling's former home in Sterling, Virginia.
It is not entirely clear how Risen's stance affects the government's case. The government possesses email and phone records that show extensive contact between Sterling and Risen. Brinkema has previously suggested the government could rely on those records to establish what it needs without compelling Risen's testimony.
Brinkema said it will now be up to prosecutors whether they want to call Risen as a witness next week in front of a jury. If he is called, the expectation is that he won't be asked any questions other than those that were asked on Monday, and he would be expected to give the same answers.

Lipid droplets as ubiquitous fat storage organelles in C. elegans.
Zhang SO, Trimble R, Guo F, Mak HY. BMC Cell Biol. 2010 Dec 8;11:96. [1]
Lab Four
1. Identify a commercial supplier of an antibody that relates to your group project topic.
Sigma-Aldrich produces 'Monoclonal Anti-Pinin antibody produced in mouse' which is a desmosome associated protein.
2. In mitochondria, where is the gene located that encodes Cytochrome C and what keeps this protein trapped within the mitochondria?
It is encoded by genomic DNA, by CYCS gene.
Cytochrome C is localised within the crista of the mitochondria. This is because it is water-soluble and so cannot pass the lipid membrane.
Lab Six
1. What are the changes in phenotypes that you observe between Group A and Group B?
Group A showed an increase in the percentage of "pronged" and "stringed" phenotype of the B35 neuro-epithelial cells This is opposed to Group B (the control) that showed a much higher percentage of rounder "stumped" lamella, also including "fan" and "broken fan" phenotypes. Group B tended to clump together, altering the morphology of the cells, while - due to the pronged and stringed phenotype - there was still significant cell-cell contact, it only occurred at the tips of the lamella.
There was also moderate colour change observed between the two. In group B, the nucleus was distinctly blue, surrounded by a red cytoskeleton, however in group A, the nucleus was barely discernible as a pink colour while a surrounding pink cytoskeleton. There was also a yellow colour present at the edges of the lamella.
2. How does Tm4 mediate these changes?
Tropomyosin is an integral coiled coil protein that attaches to actin and regulating most, if not all, of its function. There are a number of different isoforms of tropomyosin that are present in different areas of the cell and act on different actin isoforms. They help to confer structure and function to the actin and cytoskeleton. This particular isoform (Tm4) stimulated movement. Tropomyosin inhibits lamellipodium formation and encourages the development of lamellae while enhancing migration. However, the complete mechanism still remains unknown.
Lab Eight
1. Identify from one of the cell line repositories: a neural cell line and a muscle cell line.
Neuro-2a (CCL-131) - Neuroblastoma Neuroblastoma
L6 (CRL-1458) - Myoblast Myoblast
2. Identify the species and growth conditions for these cell lines.
- Mus musculus (mouse)
- Base medium: fetal bovine serum to a final concentration of 10%
- Atmosphere: air, 95%; carbon dioxide (CO2), 5%
- Temperature: 37.0°C
- Rattus norvegicus (rat)
- Base medium: fetal bovine serum to a final concentration of 10%
- Atmosphere: air, 95%; carbon dioxide (CO2), 5%
- Temperature: 37.0°C
- Growth Conditions: The myoblastic component of this line will be depleted rapidly if the cells are allowed to become confluent.
Peer Review
Synaptic Junctions
- Some gramatical errors under "what is a synaptic junction"
- What happens at each part of the synaptic junctions? Ie what happens at the synaptic cleft?
- Need the basics before getting into different types of junctions ,
- Lots of good information in "types of synaptic junctions" section, but there are many points without much elaboration. For example, if you mentioned two or three important discerning features of electrical synapses, it would be easier to read that 10 different points and minimal explanation
- The chemical synapses section is a lot easier to read, if you follow a similar path for the electrical synapses (how not only what) it'd show your effort a bit better.
- The links for 'other synapses' don't lead to anything
- Good table, it is succinct and information but regulated your use of capital letters
- Need a section to explain function before getting into modulation and regulation, where they're present etc (everywhere I know, but it would make it clearer to state it)
- In 'synaptic regulation and modulation' section, the following paragraph doesn't make sense – "Graded potentials can vary in size because they depend on the amount of neurotransmitter releasedThis is achieved through the regulation of free calcium inside the cell[16]. Axoaxonic synapses control calcium influx into the presynaptic terminal of . If more neurotransmitters bind to receptors, the amplitude of the depolarization increases. Summation to threshold can occur in two ways, or a combination of these two ways;"
- Need to explain what axoaxonic synapses are
- Neurotransmitter table looks really good
- The abnormalities section looks really good and detailed, lots of information there
- Fantastic pictures that have been drawn, they look really good and concise
- There seem to be lots of spelling errors and gramatical errors throughout, I suggest you go through the whole thing and do a quick edit
Gap Junctions
- Really good set out, nice and organized, making it easy to read
- The history is really long and detailed. There's a lot of really good information in it, but it could be a bit better if only the really important bits were outlined. Of course, this isn't a very big criticism as you can't really have too much information.
- Good description of the structure. Could you note differences between human gap junctions and their homologues in plants?
- Good incorporation of KO mice in explaining the function of Cx32
- I like how you've done the locations of gap junctions, well structured
- It's a good idea to give a comparison with the other junctions. The table is nice, but since you're not doing the other junctions do you need that much detail? You could always make links to the other pages or something
- Good variety of abnormalities and nice, brief descriptions
- Nice incorporation of the really recent research, show's how up to date your information is
- Overall a really good page. Nice work!
Tight Junctions
- The history looks quite good, nice and concise
- For the structure can we get a bit of a general overview? You seem to have gone straight into the specifics. Or maybe if you refer to the picture or something? There just doesn't seem to be quite enough information to get my head around the precise structure.
- The 'molecular components' section looks really good, well set out and informative, I found it quite readable
- "barrier function" not "barrier funciton"; subheading in "function"
- The "function" section was really good, the pictures there correlated nicely with the content
- Clever integration of tight junction distribution
- In the "classification of epithelia" section, could you break it up a bit? There is a whole lot of information in one go. Maybe put a few subheading? Dot points? Even another picture or so would help.
- I really like how you've the table for disease. Really well set out, I like the idea of the links, but what exactly are they leading to? When I click on them I get some random NCBI page. Might want to fix that up a bit. If you could like it back to the page where those structures are discussed I think that'd be pretty useful.
- Some sort of discussion of current research could also be good.
Adherens Junctions
- There isn't too much to the history, check for some more recent work, ie after 2000.
- You might want to rethink some of the wording in the intro, not a huge problem but it might help with the flow.
- The pictures and info in the "structure" section is really good. I like the addition of the video, it keeps it interesting. Cool video.
- Function is alright, I see you've said there isn't much known about it, but can you maybe elaborate a bit more on the points you have made? Are there examples to show this? Any idea of the mechanism behind embryogenesis? etc
- A couple of grammatical errors in "regulation" section
- In regulation section, "growth factors, the peptide hormones and …etc.". What exactly do you mean by "and…etc"? Come up with one more example and replace the etc, it would just seem more official.
- Other than that, the information in the regulation section is quite good, I like the set out.
- "Abnormalities in Disease" doesn't quite make sense. Maybe "Abnormalities and disease", "Abnormalities causing disease"? Something like that.
- Abnormalities section is quite good, good overview of a few diseases, interesting.
- The addition of the current research is really good
- The table at the end is pretty good, nice overview of other junctions.
Neuromuscular Junctions
- Good history, nicely detailed, but has there been anything since 2000? Surely there has.
- For the mechanism of action, I see what you've done with the dot points, but it could be even more effective as a sort of flow chart? That'd be really fantastic.
- A bit further down, I'm getting a bit confused with the format. I know we shouldn't be commenting on it, but how you've structured your information is a bit inconsistent. Ie the dot points. If you could compile it into a succinct paragraph? Or at least elaborate a bit more into the dot points. They are good in a lecture setting (where more information is provided vocally to "fill in the blanks") but I personally get confused without the complete sentences.
- None-the-less, you've got some great information there
- AWESOME table of components. Really good and helpful, especially with the addition of the pictures. I really liked that bit.
- Nice microscopy section, clever addition with some nice pictures.
- Some fantastic information in "skeletal muscle" section, but it's not entirely applicable to NMJs. Focus more on the NMJ involvement in contraction, as opposed to the details about the structure of actin and myosin etc.
- Interesting stuff about embryology, good work there
- Nice table for the abnormalities, lots of good stuff there
- The research area looks really good, and a clever input of potential future research
- Looks like a pretty good project!
Project Page
Calcium ion levels are integral in junction assembly. In vitro, extracellular calcium levels have been found to trigger the formation of the junctions. [2] After cells that have been incubated in low calcium medium, were switched into a medium containing standard calcium concentrations, the formation of desmosomes was seen as soon as 5 minutes. [3] The deregulation of calcium levels within cells have been associated with junctional defects. Hailey-Hailey disease and Darier's disease are caused by defects in Golgi and ER calcium pumps. [4] These both lead to a loss of integrity in skin epithelium, due to a lack of cell-cell attachment via desmosomes. [5] [6]
It has been suggested that regulation of desmosome assembly is closely associated with the assembly of adherens junctions. [7] Desmoplakin is the only protein, so far identified, that is common to both junctions. In vitro, cells that did not express desmoplakin were unable to localise the proteins specific for the adherens junctions and the desmosomes. [8] Thus, it has been suggested that it plays a role in segregating the proteins relative to each junction and so affecting assembly.
Phosphorylation has been found to be largely involved in activating and deactivating desmosome assembly. It has been suggested that protein kinase C (PKC) is involved in the regulation of this action. [9] PKC inhibition is required for desmosome assembly to occur, that is, dephosphorylation encourages formation. Phosphorylation onto serine of desmoplakin by protein kinase C can lead to the disassembly of the cytoskeleton, junctions, and a loss of cell-cell contact. An increase in level of serine phosphorylation has also been linked with an increase in junction solubility of the desmoplakin. This suggests that phosphorylation may play an integral role in the dissociation of the desmosomal plaque from the keratin filaments. [10] The outcome of plakoglobin (an important desmosomal protein) is also largely dependent on its phosphorylation. [11]

Dont worry I will be dead as soon as I tell my story- but the book comes first
Im not stupid, I know that many people hate me becuz THEY are the ones who are stupid: sheep and lemmings. You can all go f*ck yourselves. I know how much you hate me. I know how much you want to see me further humiliated, further shamed and embarassed, further degraded. YOU assholes are not going to make me live for your entertainment. I will write my book as I feel obligated to and then I am NOT going to hang around so you f*cks can bully me any further.
I also will NOT live fat, aged and with the amount of brain damage I have from exposure to mycotoxins as well as from being terrorized. (do research on PTSD in soldiers. The damage is a permanent alteration of the brain. It doesnt surprise me that military human experimentation is brought up by targets and activists all the time. They are notorious for doing testing on stress levels and related research. It also doesnt surprise me that PTSD was pushed as being connected to my psychiatric condition ONLY after the gang stalking got very heavy and my doctor turned on me. Before that she only said "We dont know if you have it..you might." and all this other vague bs. Only after I left the state did she put it in a referal letter that I had PTSD. I believe that this condition is being used to either cover for human experimentation or other things. Its also suspect how many soldiers are committing suicide due to PTSD).
I am in constant mental and emotional pain. And after seeing how big the networks are...how vast this is and how many people KNOW but do it anyway. I dont want to live in this world anymore.
I dont fit in anywhere. I am not satanic nor godly. Both groups seem to hate me.
People just dont like me no matter where I go or what I do.
One has to face the fact that some of us are just born meat. We are just born to be used up by the system and die. My family knows this. Julie knew this...everybody I knew is gone to me now. The system is full of people who either cant look at me becuz they are too guilt ridden or they look at me like there is nothing they can do. Or they are sadistic jerks who think they are victorious.
I am going to kill myself and you can bet on that. I will not live just to suffer more in a world that will not give me any revenge or satisfaction for being robbed of my life and my future. All I can do is tell people how it works and who was involved. I am sure that Romney that vishus asshole and his bitch wife are going for 2012. I am also sure that everyone and anyone looking at 2012 election wants all 'loose ends' gone before then. Again f*ck you and I hope you get jack sh*t due to my expose.
YOu all cost me my life, my looks and my future and I could have helped alot of people that need someone instead of wasting my life doing this bullshit all the time.
The system will no longer control my time when I am dead. They will not longer make me suffer or feel bad. They can no longer shame me. I will no longer have to look in the mirror and see lines forming on my formally prettty youthful face and I will no longer have to be overweight. I will never have to know aging with the induced health problems that your system made me have like heart trouble due to stress and memory loss due to mold.
I will not have to suffer anymore once I am dead and THAT is the ultimate act of WILLFULNESS by my own hand. ANd I WILL have my own way, which is something the system has been denying my whole life. How wud YOU like to be an abused slave you whole life and you are prettier and smarter and more talented than most people but society is mean to you all the time.
This society has turned totally satanic and doesnt care who it wipes out for whatever its purposes. Humans have always been obnoxious greedy apes but its worse now with this enslavement via tech and a police state.
You WONT hold me hostage or modify me or enslave ME you mother fuckers.
I know that no one is going to believe me and I know that everyone has written me off as insane...so I have little to lose once I rat now do I fuckers?
I will be out of everyones hair but my programming will not let me go until I tell the way this system works. I dont know why its important but it is.
I know I dont have a future and I never did. How a whole society can abuse me like my mother has been doing for years is beyond me..
When I am dead then there will be no more further concern from me about your ridiculous reality. If you think Iam going to hang around to become fat and old when I could have been youthful and happy you ARE all as crazy as you run your world. You are all really stupid too. You create false man made environments that in the long run destroy the one that naturally supports human life on earth.
Your all a waste of space. Look at what gang stalking is anyway....its a mob of mammals attacking a singled out mammal. Birds have been documented as engaging in mobbing more than other animals...birds. The only living relative of the dinasour...that is what you act like.
You arent even smart enough to act human. Hahahahahahah. Your all lemmings and I hate you. Have a nice time assholes, when the sun gets hotter and hotter and the weather gets even more ridiculous. Not everyone can fit on a space station and I hope a shit load of you get left for dead. Gooooooood.
You all deserve it.
Do you have any idea what was done to me at all? You really dont understand how much torture goes into these campaigns? I have been brought beyond hell lets put it that way...and people look at me like its something one can just come back from. There is no coming back from being a gang stalking target.
Do you even know what they did to me in St Louis? Do you realize they have weapons that can actually burn your heart? It feels like someone is targeting your heart and chest area and actually burning or destroying heart tissue. Your chest cavit y hurts afterwards. Do you know that via tech they can mentally torture someone as if they are being physically tortured? These weapons can actually make you feel literally physically tortured as well.
Do you even understand the brain damage all of this causes over the years? I cannot believe I have had to go through this all the while being made to feel bad about some other cover story bullshit. That only adds to the torture and the system knows it.
YOur society is NOT worth living in if no someone like me who was smart and talented can be handed over to this system and you do nothing..but deny my story.
So I will leave and everyone can make excuses for why I died or make up shit or whatever you need to do to make it look like I was just nuts or bitter or whatever. But in any society worth living in, I would be given justice and I am not going to be given justice and I am at least smart enough to know that.
However I am NOT pathetic enough to hang around so everyone can feel better about themselves by watching me age further or go downhill due to braindamage. YOU are NOT getting that from me.
I know the assholes in the system are betting I am too weak to take my own life. Just watch me.
But first, read my story, which I will make sure gets reproduced as much as possible like a fuckin deadly virus, and never ever gets lost to history. I may be dead but I will leave the world yet another account of these crimes and so another target can testify even after death. Also I have a bit more to add than the average TI. Eat it up bastards.
And Massachusettes can kiss my ass. That place needs to be bombed off the face of the earth and all the union f*cks especially the cops need to be the first ones to be blown to hell...and thier families of course who, just like their organized crime buddies, think they are better than everyone else. THE BOSTON POLICE CAN GO FUCK OFF AND SO CAN THE MOB WHO SUCK THIER DICKS. I fukcin want revenge on you so bad for ever mean comment and every gs tactic you pulled on me I would be willing to do anything to get it. And tell Julie to go fuck herself as well nad her cops she pays off.
Fuck you all. I will be dead soon enough for you to go on with your oh so perfect lives...but first I write that book so everyone who you cocksuckers target in future can beat your stupid system and live to be a pain in your asses. I hope the next TI lives longer and causes you lots of trouble and harm to you and yours.
I hope your system falls and its right on your heads. IF I dont get revenge I am leaving and isnt that what all you assholes want? Oh and I hope all of my family dies horribly. Especially my mother and my grandmother who knew about this system and played me on that. If I thought I could get away with it I would rip those two before I left my own damn self. But I know that purpose of watching a TI is to partially protect the people who betray them.
MY BOOK WILL DO ALL MY VENGENCE FOR ME and then and only then can I rest comfortalve in my grave.
By the way: Fuck the USA.

I guess you might call it Jailers guarding the dangerous. That was my favorite quote. That must be one way they keep this system going; protecting their criminals and informants. Remember the one kid who told me who did some time in jail? Ha, he didn't even know about the type of abuses that go on there. Had he REALLY spent time in jail, he would've had some pretty interesting stories to tell.ReplyDelete
Again, the system is FULL of posers and actors. A lot are not real people. Just pretenders who serve the system. That is all.
You think you wont suffer once you are dead, how do you know you wont end up in Hell? How do know you wont end up burning in hell for eternity. Eternity is never ending. Its tough living like this, going back and forth in wanting to destroy these perps. All I know is, if I do snap the Lord is not going to be pleased with those actions. They are slowly destroying my reputation and its about cost me my job. My car has been acting up and if I wanted to find another job they would come behind me and slander me. I like you don't have anyone my corner, no one to trust.ReplyDelete

Sharks players among 17 given show cause notices
By: David Mark
MARK COLVIN: The Australian Sports Anti-Doping Authority has issued show cause notices to 17 past and present Cronulla Sharks rugby league team players, including five members of the current team. It's the latest episode in the drugs in a sport scandal that began eighteen months ago.
Theoretically the players have 10 days to respond, but a statement from the Sharks says the players have been offered a possible suspension which they have two days to think about.
But who offered the deal? David Mark reports.
DAVID MARK: Today the National Rugby League and the Australian Sports Anti-Doping Authority held meetings with past and present players from the Cronulla Sharks.
At issue was the allegation Cronulla players took banned drugs during the 2011 season.
Today ASADA confirmed it believed the players had a case to answer by issuing show cause notices to 17 past and present Sharks players. This statement is from ASADA says the notices relate:
ASADA STATEMENT (voiceover): To the use of prohibited substances CJC-1295 and GHRP-6 during the 2011 season.
The decision to issue 'show cause' notices by ASADA CEO, Ben McDevitt, is based on evidence collected during the 16 month investigation.
Based on his assessment of the evidence, the ASADA CEO has reached the conclusion that the players have a case to answer under the World Anti-Doping Code.
DAVID MARK: The statement says CJC-1295 and GHRP-6 are banned under the World Anti-Doping Codes section S2: 'Peptide Hormones, Growth Factors and Related Substances'. GHRP-6 is not approved for human use in Australia.
The Sharks also issued a statement saying five of their players had received show cause notices. It's not naming them, but one of the players still there who was at the club in 2011 is the team's captain, Paul Gallen, who also captains the New South Wales State of Origin team.
He spoke to Sky Sports radio this morning before he met with the NRL and ASADA.
PAUL GALLEN: I'm 100 per cent positive I've never taken anything that's been on any banned list. So I can say that, yeah.
DAVID MARK: In June, 34 past and present players of the Essendon AFL club were also given show cause notices.
The club subsequently took ASADA to court, claiming the investigation was unlawful. The outcome of that case is still pending.
This morning, Paul Gallen was asked whether his lawyer would take that case into account, and would he try to strike a deal?
PAUL GALLEN: I've asked him about that, and we're not 100 per cent sure, because he believes that they're probably going to try and back us into a corner where we have to make a decision basically ASAP, so before the Essendon thing is over. But as I said, we don't know that for sure yet.
DAVID MARK: And this is where the case gets mysterious.
The Sharks statement says:
CRONULLA SHARKS STATEMENT (voiceover): Players have been offered a proposal regarding a possible suspension, which they need to consider before the weekend, with the players to consult with their legal representatives over the next two days in relation to their individual circumstances.
DAVID MARK: But who's offered the deal? Certainly not ASADA, because they can't. The process stipulates the players have 10 days to respond to the show cause notices. Then an independent panel must consider the evidence. If that panel believes the players have a case to answer only then will the matter be referred back to the NRL, which can take the players to its anti-doping panel.
So has the NRL offered the players a deal? PM asked an NRL spokesman that very question. He replied the matter was in the hands of ASADA and had no further comment.
Richard Ings is the former is the former CEO of ASADA.
RICHARD INGS: One of the things that we probably need to reflect on is ASADA is not in any position to make any offers with regard to sanction, but it is very possible that there may be discussion about provisional suspension. Remember in the case of Sandor Earl, almost 12 months ago. He was provisionally suspended with a similar allegation of breaching anti-doping rules. Quite possibly that is the discussion which is taking place at the moment.
DAVID MARK: So we know today that the players, the 17 players, held discussions with both the NRL and ASADA. You think perhaps that it was the NRL and ASADA discussing a possible deal together?
RICHARD INGS: Well the only body that can talk about suspensions or indeed provisional suspensions is the NRL. ASADA has absolutely no power to be able to discuss or enforce any provisional suspension. ASADA may recommend a particular course of action to the NRL, but it can only recommend.
DAVID MARK: In other words, this must have come from the NRL?
RICHARD INGS: Well, if there is any discussion which is taking place about possible provisional suspension or other suspension, this can only be driven by the NRL.
MARK COLVIN: Richard Ings, the former CEO of ASADA, ending David Mark's report.

Intravenous Pyelogram
Functional examination of the kidneys
An Intravenous Pyelogram (IVP) is an x-ray examination used to visualize abnormalities of the urinary system including the kidneys, ureters and urinary bladder. It involves iodinated contrast material injected into veins which travels through the blood stream and collects in the kidneys and urinary tract, turning these areas bright white on the x-ray images. An IVP allows the Radiologist to view and assess the anatomy and function of the urinary system.
Please bring any releated exams you may have with you on the day of your examination.
An IVP study is usually completed within an hour. However, because some kidneys function at a slower rate, the exam may last up to four hours. You may be asked to remove some or all of your clothes and to wear a gown during the exam. You may also be asked to remove jewelry, eye glasses and any metal objects or clothing that might interfere with the x-ray images. The patient is positioned on the table and still x-ray images are taken. The contrast material is then injected, usually in a vein in the patient's arm, followed by additional still images. The number of images taken depends on the reason for the examination and the patient's anatomy. You must hold very still and may be asked to keep from breathing for a few seconds while the x-ray picture is taken to reduce the possibility of a blurred image. Near the end of the exam, you may be asked to empty your bladder so that an additional x-ray can be taken of your urinary bladder after it empties.
You will feel a minor sting as the contrast material is injected into your arm through a small needle. Some patients experience a flush of warmth, a mild itching sensation and a metallic taste in their mouth as it begins to circulate throughout their body. These common side effects usually disappear within a minute or two and are harmless. Rarely, some patients will experience an allergic reaction. Itching that persists or is accompanied by hives, can be easily treated with medication. In very rare cases, a patient may become short of breath or experience swelling in the throat or other parts of the body. These can be indications of a more serious reaction to the contrast material that should be treated promptly. Tell the radiologist immediately if you experience these symptoms.

Good news for Ras Al Khor Wildlife Sanctuary
We are delighted to announce that WWT Consulting is working for Dubai Municipality, in partnership with DEC Engineering, on the development of a brand new Wetland Centre at Ras Al Khor Wildlife Sanctuary, right in the heart of Dubai.
Ras Al Khor Wildlife Sanctuary, the UAE's first Ramsar site, comprises valuable wetlands, including mudflats, mangroves, reedbeds and areas of sabkha, and is renowned for attracting over 20,000 birds from 75 species during peak migration. As its name in Arabic suggests, Ras Al Khor (Head of the Creek) is located at the end of Dubai Creek, an important brackish habitat, and it's one of the very few protected urban wetlands in the world.
Like many urban wetlands, Ras Al Khor Wildlife Sanctuary faces challenges, such as pollution and pressures from urban development, and Dubai Municipality recognises the need to invest in preserving these wetlands. As one of Dubai's best kept secrets, these wetlands also have the potential to create a much needed natural experience for Dubai residents and tourists. The vision for Ras Al Khor Wildlife Sanctuary is for it to become an internationally recognised site for best practice in wetland management with a Wetland Centre that delivers Communication, Education, Participation and Awareness (CEPA) in line with Ramsar's guidelines, through close encounters with nature and engaging interpretation about these incredible wetlands – allowing people to see thousands of flamingos and other species right in the heart of one of the World's busiest cities.
Over the next eight months, WWT Consulting will be designing new habitats and restoring old, degraded ones across the site and, working with MET Studio Design, will design exciting interpretation for a visitor centre with trails, hides and outdoor interpretation. This will all be supported by an integrated management plan for the habitats, wildlife and people visiting the centre. We started work on a masterplan for the site in 2007 and have already undertaken our first task on this exciting project to update that masterplan to ensure it meets the Client's current aspirations for the future Dubai Wetland Centre.
We are enjoying working with a really strong project team with Dubai Municipality, DEC Engineering, MET Studio Design and other specialists on this valuable wildlife site in the heart of one of the world's most iconic cities. We look forward to sharing some of the ideas with you as the project progresses.

Born and raised in the South King County area, I have always called Washington my home. I completed my Bachelors of Arts in Business Administration at Western Washington University, and my Juris Doctor degree at Seattle University School of Law. I previously worked for Rose Law Offices in Puyallup as well as The Law Office of Beth A. McDaniel in Renton. Prior to my legal career, I worked in the purchasing and internal governance departments at The Boeing Company.
Having experienced health concerns and loss within my own family at a young age, I am in a unique position to empathize with the emotions involved when losing a close family member or making long term care decisions. Administering a probate or making health care decisions can feel like a difficult task for someone who is grieving or dealing with illness. It is my goal to ease this burden for my clients by showing compassion and simplifying the process as much as possible.
Outside of serving my clients, my great joy in life is my family. I love spending time with my husband and two young daughters. In my spare time I also enjoy reading, gardening, and volunteering with the Girl Scouts of Western Washington as a Troop Leader.

West Ham midfielder Jack Wilshere is facing a spell on the sidelines after undergoing ankle surgery, the Premier League club have announced.
Wilshere, 26, had an operation on Monday after missing Sunday's 3-1 Premier League win at Everton because of his injury.
Reports said the former Arsenal player and England international could be out of action for up to six weeks.
The club's head of medical Richard Collinge said the procedure went well.
"Jack underwent successful surgery in London on Monday morning for a minor ongoing ankle issue," Collinge said in a statement on the club's official website. "The surgeon was happy with the procedure and all went as planned.
"We envisage he will only need a relatively short period of rest and will then start his rehabilitation. Jack is focused and determined to get back training and playing as soon as possible."
