Philippine will Install Xanatos Coast Watch System

Zambales taps Canadian firm vs intrusion in disputed seas
SUBIC, Zambales—The province that is staring Chinese aggression in the face has secured help from a Canadian surveillance firm to keep track of the intrusion of foreign vessels and other marine activities in the West Philippine Sea.
Backed by a March 23 provincial board resolution, the Zambales government has commissioned Xanatos Marine Ltd. to put up a system that would monitor in real time all vessels which enter the province's territorial waters, Gov. Hermogenes Ebdane Jr. said on Thursday.
Using the surveillance system, Zambales can "prevent foreign fishermen from illegally entering our territorial waters," he said. "We will show them that they can't just bully us," he said.
Xanatos' Provincial Coast Watch System was initially offered to Zambales as an initiative to protect the coastal waters of Zambales from waste dumping into the sea, Ebdane said.
"We've been receiving reports that there are many foreign vessels that dump human waste into our territorial waters. That's the reason we are seeking the help of this Canadian company," he said.
Xanatos is a Vancouver-based technology company which describes its product in its website as an automatic identification system that collates information about any vessel's position, course and speed using a transponder system.
The company first offered its system to the Department of Transportation and Communication in 2012, to combat smuggling, piracy and terrorism and to help in search and rescue operations.
But the provincial board cited the benefits of the surveillance system for local fishing communities that have been harassed while fishing at Bajo de Masinloc, also referred to as Scarborough Shoal.
The Scarborough Shoal is an "ancient territory of the province of Zambales [that] has become one of the flash points of territorial dispute between the Philippines and China," the board resolution said.
Recently, 80 fishermen from Zambales, Pangasinan and Bataan provinces were driven off Scarborough Shoal by water cannons fired by patrolling Chinese Coast Guard vessels.
The shoal, which is some 230 kilometers from Masinloc town, Zambales, serves as a mid-sea refuge for fishing boats during stormy weather. It is considered a free zone for local fishermen until the Chinese began patrolling the West Philippine Sea.
Ebdane said the Xanatos system would be integrated with the monitoring system of the Philippine Coast Guard. The system would also help Zambales keep track of vessels that would need to pay tariff when they dock to transact business in the province, he said.
"We want to identify every ship that enters our territory and get information about its purpose. If a vessel is not authorized to be here, then it will be questioned," he said.
Masinloc Mayor Desiree Edora said the system can bring back fishermen to the shoal. "Our fishermen have been afraid to return to the shoal. They would rather stay within the municipal waters of Masinloc," Edora said.
She said a 127-hectare fishing sanctuary in the island village of San Salvador has become an alternative fishing ground for local fishermen.

Vehicle registration renewals are a real hassle for everyone and Marylanders can possibly relate to that.
From waiting in long lines to filling out forms, Marylanders are advised to plan ahead of time to avoid delays and confusion in this area.
For that reason, let us show you 5 different ways to renew your car registration in MD, giving you the opportunity to pick what works best for you.
There's a possibility that you may end up opting for online renewals because it's fast and easy to use, but it is always beneficial to stay informed about this particular procedure.
Save Money on Your Auto Insurance Bill, Compare Quotes Fast
At the same time, let us remind you that Maryland requires locals to renew their registration every 1 or 2 years.
The MVA will send you a registration renewal notice 60 days prior to the expiration date, so keep an eye on your mail box.
If you haven't received your notice yet, contact the MVA right away as you may need to update your address.
* You'll find a table with more information about registration renewal fees in Maryland at the bottom of the page.
#1 Online vehicle registration renewals in Maryland
Nobody likes reading about registration renewals. The less time you spend on this procedure, the better!
eTags, though, understands that you cannot disrupt your busy schedule with tasks that should be handled from home or work.
That's the reason why eTags offers an online service that helps you renew your registration in the most convenient way.
Here's how you can get the job done once you visit our portal:
- Insert your license plate number, Title ID number, or VIN number
- Pay your registration renewals fees and our convenience fee
Since registration renewals are boring, why wouldn't you use technology to help you complete your obligation with the MVA?
Of course, you can always use the MVA online portal to complete your renewal but there are some restrictions you must pay attention to:
- They only handle 1-year renewals
- You can only use the address they have on record
In contrast, eTags' online renewal service support:
- 1 or 2 years renewals
- Shipping to any address upon request
- Flexible payment options (PayPal)
Did we mention that out portal is user and mobile-friendly?
#2 Maryland vehicle registration renewals in person
Now this method is the most direct and conventional way of renewing your tags which many must already be familiar with.
As you will receive a renewal notice by mail, everything is pretty much straight forward.
Here's what you need to submit once you walk into an MVA agency:
- Registration renewal notice or registration certificate
- Emissions test certificate (if applicable)
- Payment for your renewal fees
Note that in-person visits can be a real hassle as you will need to get there on time and wait in line, which is the reason why you are strongly advised to plan your visit ahead.
If you book an appointment with the MVA, you could make things move faster but it all depends on the number of visitors at the end.
#3 Maryland vehicle registration renewals at a kiosk
In Maryland, registration renewals at a kiosk is quite practical and simple to follow. You will need to present the following items:
- Registration renewal notice or registration certificate
- 8-digit title number
- License plate number
- Credit or debit card to pay your fees
However, you can find a kiosk at every MVA agency which still makes it a hassle to get there when you are busy at work or home.
#4 Maryland vehicle registration renewals by phone
The MVA also offers Marylanders the chance of renewing their registration over the phone.
Call the MVA at (410) 768-7000 and provide the following items:
- Registration renewal notice or registration certificate
- A valid credit card
Hopefully, you don't spend too much time keeping on hold.
#5 Maryland vehicle registration renewals by mail
This is another conventional method which make keep you away from the MVA but not from the post office.
If you prefer to complete your renewal by mail, here's what you need to provide:
- Follow the instructions outlined on your renewal notice
- Submit all your documents along with the service fees (check or money order) in the given envelope.
While you have the ability to mail all your documents together, you may have to wait few days to complete the task.
Not to mention that it can get longer if you fail to follow the instructions specified on the renewal notice.
How much does it cost renew your registration in Maryland?
In Maryland, your registration renewal fees varies depending on the weight and type of your vehicle.
|Vehicle Type
|Registration Fee
|Passenger/ multi-use vehicles
|3,700 lbs. or less
|Passenger/ multi-use vehicles
|over 3,700 lbs.
Now what's the most convenience choice for you? Just because the MVA requires you to renew your registration on time doesn't mean you are forced to go through a real hassle.
eTags, on the other hand, offers you the opportunity of renewing their registration without having to unnecessary trips and other hassles that can disrupt your day. Think about it.

I dub a lot of puzzles and have found that (after File -> Dub...) every time I have to do the same things before I can start entering the numbers:
1) Move the mouse to the floating "Dubbing - Sudoku" bar;
2) Click and hold the mouse button to drag the bar off the playing field;
3) Release the mouse button;
4) Move the mouse to the number "1" in the top right corner;
5) Click the mouse button to select it.
I know it does not sound like a heavy burden, but it annoys me a little that it is unnecessary but mandatory, if you see what I mean.
So here is my request/suggestion:
Please add to the "Dub" set-up routine:
1) Every time selection of the "1" as the default (makes most sense, I think);
2) Positioning of the "Dubbing - Sudoku" bar outside of the area where the numbers are to be entered. Alternatively save its last window position or make it a saveable user setting.
Additional argument: it helps fight my (Sudoku) RSI...

FUGITIVE MP's from the Catalan parliament, who fled to Brussels with Carles Puigdemont after he declared independence, fell on their swords and renounced their seats.
In keeping with the way that Spain's elections are organised, Esquerra Republicana (ERC) and two Junts per Catalunya (JxC) seats will be occupied by the next names down on the closed voting lists.
This exercise in self-sacrifice gives pro-independence parties JxC, ERC and CUP the overall majority they need to install Puigdemont as president.
Trouble is, the Catalan Speaker called off the first investiture debate because Madrid and the Constitutional Tribunal stepped in to prevent Puigdemont from indulging in the political equivalent of internet dating and accepting the job via videolink from Belgium.
"He refused to propose an alternative candidate", Roger Torrent said. Carles Puigdemont was the legitimate candidate with an overall majority.
"The president of the Generalitat will be chosen by the MPs in this Chamber, not a Tribunal or a minister 600-kilometres away," Roger Torrent said.
Meanwhile, according to the national daily El Mundo, Puigdemont's text messages the same day to Toni Comin – a former ERC counsellor now in Brussels – proclaimed that the independence process was finished.
He had been "sacrificed by our own," he said, and insinuated that someone else would have to take his place.
The former president's Twitter account meanwhile spewed out the same old fighting slogans, but that's the usual routine for Puigdemont who all along the way has so often failed to say what he means or mean what he says.
Spokesman puts a spoke in
IÑIGO MENDEZ DE VIGO, minister of Education, Culture and Sport is also spokesman for the central government in Madrid.
Recently he apologised to the people 'who felt ill-treated' during the police charges of October 1 as Catalans were prevented from voting in the unauthorised independence referendum.
But at least no-one was seriously injured, Mendez de Vigo said, "Just one person who lost an eye after being hit by a rubber bullet."
So that's okay then. What a relief, just one eye lost. But for someone who is a spokesman, he doesn't exactly have the gift of the gab.
The dissembler
"DON'T let's get into that," said Mariano Rajoy when asked what he intended to do to balance the wage gap between men and women in Spain.
A surprising answer when you bear in mind that on average a woman in Spain earns 85.1 per cent less than a male doing the same job, it would have been interesting to hear his views.
Instead he explained that it was not within his remit to interfere with employers' decisions or policies.
Surprising, really, that he didn't trot out his usual solution of announcing with self-righteous aplomb that he was putting the matter in the hands of the courts, and that justice would take its course.

Blasters settle for another draw against Jamshedpur
Kochi: Kerala Blasters FC settled for another stalemate against Jamshedpur FC, extending their winless run to nine games. Lackluster finishing and a controversial penalty took the game away from the team in yellow who put in a spirited performance at the Jawaharlal Nehru International Stadium here on Tuesday.
The visitors dominated possession early on but the hosts were set up to hit on the counter. The plan worked, except for their lack of quality in the final third. The momentum kept swinging back and forth as both teams went close to scoring.
Keziron Kizito's lung-bursting run from the halfway line caught Jamshedpur defence on the back foot. Though he failed to get a shot away in time, the ball fell kindly for Sahal whose first-time effort came back off the cross bar.
Malsawmzuala picked Zakeer's pocket and released Jerry into space inside the box. The nimble-footed winger had the just the keeper to beat but Dheeraj saved with his leg.
Later, Sahal picked out Narzary's run down the right flank with a stupendous through-ball. The Indian winger's cross into the box wasn't't properly cleared and the loose ball was directed towards goal by Seiminlen Doungel but a goal-line clearance by Memo kept the scoreline unchanged
Blasters kept swarming forward creating numerous clear cut chances. In the 61st minute, Sandesh Jhingan's cross from the right flank found Stojanovic facing his own goal. The striker controlled the ball and turned but skied the glorious chance.
There were moments where it seemed as lady luck had deserted Kerala Blasters following in the footsteps of several members of the yellow army, who had decided not to come to the stadium. There were fewer number of supporters in yellow in the stands with several carrying banners that read "we deserve better".
Jamshedpur FC took the lead from a controversial penalty on 66th minute.

Blasters goalkeeper Dheeraj Singh Moirangthem fouled Tim Cahil just outside the penalty box. Referee Rahul Kumar Gupta initially signalled a free kick in favour of Jamshedpur. However, following protests from the Jamshedpur players, he checked with the line referee and pointed to the spot. He also issued a yellow card for Dheeraj.
Carlos Calvo stepped up and fired home in emphatic fashion.
Blasters piled up the pressure and were rewarded for their efforts in the 77th minute. Sahal headed Zakeer's corner into the box. Stojanovic flicked the ball across the face of goal. Both Tiri and Bikash Jairu failed to deal with it and Doungel pounced to pull the hosts level.
The match became end-to-end affair as both teams tried to take their chances. But a match winning goal eluded them. Blasters keeper made a stellar save in the closing seconds to keep the score at 1-1.
With nine points from 10 games Blasters are at 7th place while Jamshedpur moved to 5th having played a game more than Atlético de Kolkata who are at 6th place with 15 points from 10 games.

The Anthology 1979 - 1994
Mitch Ryder
The Anthology 1979 - 1994
Let it rock! Yes, it's the tough kid from Detroit, rockin' out on a 34-track compilation that serves as a welcome tribute to one of America's rock'n'roll icons. Mitch Ryder grew up in the city known as 'Motown' where automobiles and hit records came off the assembly lines during the early 1960s. A powerful singer and personality, young William Levise was moulded by the soul and R&B music he heard growing up as a kid. Soon he became 'Mitch Ryder', leader of The Detroit Wheels, who hit the charts with 'Jenny Take A Ride!' and 'Devil With a Blue Dress On' in 1966. After his first brush with fame, he became a solo artist with a string of great albums to his credit.
This comprehensive 2CD set spans three decades of a turbulent career and is packed with dynamic performances. Among the highlights are biographical numbers like 'Tough Kid' and 'Freezin' In Hell', from the critically acclaimed 1979 'How I Spent My Vacation' album, and the gritty 'Ain't Nobody White (Can Sing The Blues)' from 1980's 'Naked But Not Dead'.
Controversial songs like 'Ich bin aus Amerika' and 'Sex You Up' are matched by down home ravers like 'Rock'n Roll', and there are singles and 'live' tracks that present a comprehensive overview of Ryder at his heartfelt best.
Booklet with authoritative and extensive liner notes written by respected author and journalist Chris Welch, including commentaries from Mitch Ryder.

With her victim's blessing, a judge has cleared the felony record of a 22-year-old Minneapolis woman who brutally assaulted a former Minnesota politician with a steel baton five years ago at the Mall of America.
Mark Andrew, the former chair of the Hennepin County Board and past chairman of the Minnesota DFL Party, had urged Judge Juan G. Hoyos to support the expungement sought by Deea Elliott. At a court hearing in March, Andrew cited Elliot's concerns that her criminal record made it difficult for her to get a good job. A prosecutor had earlier opposed the expungement.
In his decision, Hoyos wrote that Elliott had successfully completed probation and "had great potential for rehabilitation." He also said that the expungement would help her pursue education, employment, housing and other necessities. While Hoyos cited Andrew's suggestion that she pursue her education, he did not say he was influenced by Andrew's recommendation. Elliott, however, gave a lot of credit to Andrew.
"I feel really relieved and very thankful," she said Thursday. "I think he made a big difference … speaking on my behalf."
Andrew and Elliott hugged outside the courtroom in March after he asked the judge to override the prosecutors' concerns and grant expungement.
Andrew applauded the decision this week, saying it "gives this young woman a chance at life."
The prosecutor, Andrew Loose, said he did not plan to appeal the expungement order.
"I hope she takes this opportunity to do what Mr. Andrew recommended in court, which is to continue to further her education and that she never comes back into the system," Loose said.
The prosecution was handled by the Anoka County Attorney's Office to avoid a conflict of interest by Hennepin County Attorney Mike Freeman, who supported Andrew in his unsuccessful bid to become mayor of Minneapolis. The assault occurred in December 2013, a month after Andrew was defeated by Betsy Hodges.
Hoyos is a Hennepin County judge.
Andrew was seated at a Starbucks with his iPhone on a table in front of him when a teenage boy rushed in, grabbed the phone and ran out. Andrew ran after him, but when he reached the door, Lataija Shapree-Cain, then 18, blocked his path. As he wrestled with her, Elliott, who was 17, joined the fray, pulled a folded steel baton from her purse and began hitting him. All three were arrested. Elliott and Cutler-Cain were charged with felony assault and the juvenile was also charged. Elliott pleaded guilty to first-degree aggravated robbery. At Elliott's sentencing Andrew urged she not be sent to prison even though he suffered extensive injuries from the attack. She was put on probation.
Elliott said Thursday she has certification as a nurse's assistant. "Now that I have the expungement, I can pursue getting in that field," she said.
Andrew said he has a meeting scheduled Monday with an official at the state Department of Corrections to discuss possible legislation or rule changes that would make it easier to expunge the criminal records of offenders who have little risk of violent offenses in the future.

Mainstream political discourse relies on a foundation of decorum, some fidelity to the truth, and civility—or at least it used to. The rise of populism in Europe and Trumpism in America suggests that there are sizeable constituencies for unadorned political appeals that feature stark language, blunt delivery, and impassioned claims that are more or less true—but also visually provocative and attention getting. Indeed, populism is as much a communication phenomenon as it is a political ideology. Thus far, we have only considered half of the message: the verbal performance of populism, especially discourse that channels voter anger and need for blame. In this talk, I review evidence across a series of studies using content analysis, focus group, and time series methods to assess the resonance of populism's neglected visual and tonal dimensions. Findings provide insight into how Trump in particular uses a mélange of nonverbal theatrics—in tandem with verbal attacks—to bond supporters while alienating critics. The presentation operationalizes populism as a communication phenomenon with distinctive verbal, tonal and visual correlates that can be subjected to systematic analysis. Findings for Trump are discussed in relation to the debate performances of recent presidential candidates, including not just Hillary Clinton in 2016 but Barack Obama and Mitt Romney in 2012.

I need to buy a 210mm lens for my 4x5 Toyo Field AX. I will use it to shoot land scapes. Most important of all I want a SHARP lens. I have read a lot of nice things abo ut the Schneider Symmar APO f/5.6 210mm. What worries me about this lens is its weight. That is why I am considering the Nikkor M 210mm but I have two concerns: 1- The image circle of the Nikkor M 200 is 210mm: will that allow sufficient til t and swing for landscape shooting? 2- The lens is an f/8. Will this make focusing more difficult, eventually up to the point where I may end up with not perfectly focused pictures thus loosing al l the advantages of having a sharp lens Thank you for your input.

Cape Town - A key half-century by Kyle Verreynne calmed the nerves of the Cape Cobras and ensured they began the new 4-Day Domestic Series season with a tense four-wicket win over the Knights in Cape Town on Thursday.
The young right-hander made an attacking unbeaten 51 (59 balls, 7 fours) after his side had hit early trouble, eventually getting them past the 194-victory target with the help of Rory Kleinveldt (19 not out).
There was also an important 57 (127 balls, 5 fours) from Zubayr Hamza, but in between his slower innings, the wickets kept falling until Verreynne made his mark.
Day four began with the Knights well poised on 240 for three – and with a 99-run lead. They continued to build on that through new captain Pite van Biljon, who added to his century in the first innings with 57 (99 balls, 10 fours) second time around, and Rudi Second (23). The pair extended their fourth wicket partnership to 59 when Tladi Bokako (2/64) intervened to remove the latter.
The visitors continued to look good when they crossed 300 at only five down, but some excellent bowling by Dane Paterson (4/68) proved to be their undoing as they slipped to 334 all out.
Ottniel Baartman (3/39) led a strong early fightback with the ball for the Knights as the Cobras were reduced to 59 for three.
But Hamza and Verreynne took them past the 150-mark at only four down, and, even though two more wickets fell, there was enough in the tank to give the hosts a winning start at Newlands.

The All Progressives Congress (APC) in Ekiti State has condemned members of the House of Assembly for their petition to the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC), accusing former Governor Kayode Fayemi of N40 billion fraud.
The party described the petition as "Governor Ayo Fayose's attempt to divert attention from his probe by the EFCC on the alleged use of arms cash to fund his 2014 governorship campaign and revelations from witnesses in the courts.''
The lawmakers, last Thursday, submitted a petition to the EFCC, alleging that Fayose misappropriated N40 billion in projects execution during his four-year tenure as governor.
In a statement yesterday by its Publicity Secretary, Taiwo Olatunbosun, the APC maintained that the lawmakers lack the constitutional powers to act as petitioners in a matter that concerns only the executive.
Olatunbosun described the lawmakers as "slave boys of a reckless and lawless governor wondering why it took more than two years before Fayose realised that the House of Assembly was the vehicle through which he could transmit a petition to the EFCC.
He said: "These lawmakers are pitiable sights on television speaking to reporters on an issue they have no competence and you can see their mediocrity as a bunch of slave boys to a reckless, lawless governor desperately seeking to divert the attention of Nigerians from the revelations in court over his seamless infractions on the law to stay in power.
"Besides not having constitutional powers to act as petitioners in a matter that concerns only the executive, majority of the members do not possess educational qualifications that can prepare them for the duties they were elected to perform, hence their directionless conduct and acting as tools of the governor while they suffer in penury.
"We don't know when the House of Assembly conducted their investigation to arrive at this petition, as what they have in the petition are the same allegations that Fayose has been bandying around to deceive workers.
"This is besides the fact that they have the constitutional power to conduct investigation into any allegation and ask the governor to set up administrative panel to investigate the allegations, but because they lack capacity to do the job they were elected to do.
"They are prepared to line the streets to protect the interest of the governor as they did when they occupied Ado-Ekiti streets over EFCC investigation into Fayose's allies' involvement in alleged fraud."

Like any saga, this story has a long pre-history which begins—naturally—in Mozambique. To afford the down-payment for a house in Chicago, I first had to sell my four-room apartment in Moscow. That fabulous dwelling was in every sense dearly earned. Though we never had a chance to live in it. So this is:
Admittedly, while in Africa, we were paid rather lavishly. As much as fifteen to twenty times the average wage in the USSR. Returning to Moscow in 1985, I discovered that life continued to be eerily normal there. After Tete it took us months to feel comfortable sleeping on sheets in a bed, without a gun, or being able to drink tap water. Every gloomy Moscow morning I would take the same crowded Metro to the university where the familiar cloakroom babushki would not even notice that I'd been away for a year. 'Were you sick?' they would ask compassionately, taking my parka and fur hat. 'I didn't see you last week.' Meantime I had become an unusually wealthy student. I could buy the most expensive available car (Volga-31) with cash, and there would still remain plenty to buy presents for all the relatives. But why get a car? I still lived in the university dorm, four guys in a room. Instead, we ate delicacies by crateloads. Moscow was supplied exceptionally well compared to the rest of the country. We could indulge in Soviet Gargantuanism: Czech beer, Hungarian ducklings, Romanian salami, Bulgarian fruits, Yugoslav patés, Finnish cheeses, Cypriot juices, Iraqi dates, Algerian red wines, Cuban cigars, Portuguese sardines, olives or port.
I had lived in the dorms of Moscow State University for five years, since I was sixteen. It was a world of our own. But we were about to graduate and leave. (Five years later several dorm-mates emerged as leading lights of post-Soviet politics, as either warlords in places like Tajikistan, Karabagh, Ingushetia or Transdniestria, or as more peaceful parliamentarians; or even in more distant lands like Eritrea, Palestine and Lebanon). After the chronic overcrowding of the dorms, the idea that I could afford a whole co-op apartment of my own seemed ever more dazzling as the day of graduation approached. But, as I was immediately told by a friendly-looking lady at the Bank for Foreign Trade, I really couldn't buy an apartment because I didn't have a residence permit for Moscow.
In the usual Soviet fashion, I tried several ways round this stupid rule, until I ran into a particularly irritable old man at the Public Reception Desk of Moscow City Soviet. He looked rather like one of the moving skeletons in Steven Spielberg's films. Dressed in a worn double-breasted suit in the fashion of the 1930s, with a tiny red-gilded pin in the lapel, he stood up and, shaking slightly, cried in a high-pitched voice: 'Comrade—or shall I say Mister?—Derlug'yan, there are probably many rich men like you in Moscow, but if we allow all of them to buy mansions on Gorky Street, what will become of our socialist values?' As I was about to leave, he hissed: 'You know, back in 1938 I used to shoot your ilk.' Well, I was suffering from my own veterans' syndrome. Standing in the door, I retorted that it wasn't certain who would have shot whom first and whose pleasure would be greater . . . He promised to report me to the appropriate authorities.
All available legal channels were now exhausted, and I had no access to extra-legal capabilities. At this point, as scientists say, a miracle occurred. Which was always an integral part of Russian reality. For when I went back to Mozambique a year later, I was assigned as interpreter to an inconspicuous individual with the common name of Voronenko. He had come to teach a month-long course in urban planning and earn his own legally sanctioned hard-currency roubles. Yet he wasn't as blindly interested in Japanese electronic wares as most other Soviet aid workers. Voronenko, rather, developed a collector's passion for Makonde ebony sculpture. When he discovered that, beyond fluency in Portuguese, I had a degree in African studies, our professional relationship grew into days of leisurely conversation under a mango tree about the history of Mozambique, African mythology and everything else in the world. Eventually talk turned to the inevitable question of the little fortune waiting for me in the Bank for Foreign Trade.

Publication Highlights: Articles on autophagy research published by french laboratories and selected by CFATG.
In plant, autophagy is essential for nutrient recycling and plays a fundamental role in nitrogen remobilization from senescing leaves to seeds. During seed maturation, storage proteins (12S globulins and 2S albumins) accumulates in specific vacuoles (PSV for Protein Storage Vacuole) and will represent a nitrogen source for the plantlet during germination. In this study, we show that autophagy controls resource allocations from fruit to seed, embryo development and protein storage accumulation in Arabidopsis. It is the first study showing autophagosomes in Arabidopsis embryo.
Seeds of atg5 mutant exhibit a high abortion rate (Figure 1), probably due to a nutriment defect, an accelerated browning of the tegument and an early and differential accumulation of high weight proteins (> 37 kDa) compared to wild type seeds. In addition, storage protein content (12S and 2S) was 63% reduced in atg5 seeds, in comparison to wild type.
These results indicate that autophagy would not simply be a degradation process but would play un role in precursor maturation of the storage proteins, either directly via the transport in autophagosome of specific proteases (VPE for Vacuolar Processing Enzymes) responsible for precursor maturation, either indirectly by controlling the rate of oxidized protein that could affect the maturation or the transport of these precursors in the protein storage vacuole (PSV).
Journal of Experimental Botany, Volume 69, Issue 6, 14 March 2018, Pages 1403–1414.
p53 is a multifaceted tumor suppressor protein involved in key cellular responses that can both activate and repress autophagy. This dual effect is directly driven by its subcellular distribution. Thus, nuclear p53 elicits a pro-autophagy phenotype via the transcriptional activation of pro-autophagy genes while cytoplasmic p53 represses autophagy independently of its transcription factor function, via the activation of the AMPK-dependent inhibition of mTOR signaling cascade.
Our work completed this rather simplistic view by demonstrating that p53 can also repress mitophagy by controlling PINK1, a key pro-mitophagy protein that grants mitochondrial homeostasis. Thus, we demonstrated that nuclear p53 induces the transcriptional repression of PINK1 promoter activity, protein and mRNA levels, ex-vivo and in vivo. We showed that PINK1 behaves as a direct transcriptional target of p53 since the deletion of a p53-responsive element on PINK1 promoter impacts p53-mediated PINK1 transcriptional repression. This conclusion was further validated by DNA binding assay that demonstrated a physical interaction of p53 with PINK1 promoter. Accordingly, p53 knockout enhances LC3 maturation as well as optineurin and NDP52 autophagy receptors expression and down-regulates TIM23, TOM20 and HSP60 mitophagy markers, ex-vivo and mice brain. Finally, we show that the p53-mediated negative regulation of autophagy is PINK1-dependent. Hence, pifithrin-α-mediated blockade of p53 transcriptional activity like p53 genetic invalidation lead to increased mitophagy (augmentation of LC3 maturation and reduced p62, TIM23, TOM20 and HSP60 protein levels), a response that is fully abolished by PINK1 depletion. Overall, our data pinpoints to a novel signaling circuit by which nuclear p53 can repress autophagy/mitophagy. This pathway could well be impacted in both neurodegenerative and cancer, two pathological conditions where p53 expression and transcriptional activity are drastically altered.
Cell Death Differ. 2018 Jan 19
The multi-subunit V-ATPase acidifies intracellular organelles, thereby controlling a number of events in the secretory and endocytic pathway, such as proteolytic processing, protein degradation, autophagy and glycosylation. The biogenesis of the proton pump V-ATPase commences with the assembly of the proton pore sector V0 in the endoplasmic reticulum (ER). This process occurs under the control of a group of assembly factors whose mutations have recently been shown to cause glycosylation disorders with syndromic liver disease in humans. In our study, we used whole exome sequencing to screen for causative mutations in patients with similar glycosylation disorders. We identified X-linked mutations of the accessory V-ATPase subunit ATP6AP2 leading to steatohepatitis, serum lipid abnormalities, immunodeficiency and cognitive impairment in three patients from two unrelated families. We showed that ATP6AP2 interacts with members of the V0 assembly complex, and that its ER localization, mediated by a C-terminal ER retrieval motif, is crucial for V-ATPase activity. Using Drosophila, we demonstrated that ATP6AP2 mutations can cause developmental defects and steatotic phenotypes. Mechanistically, we showed that these phenotypes are the result of impaired V-ATPase assembly, defective lysosomal acidification, reduced mTOR signaling and autophagic misregulation. In the liver-like fat body tissue, this pathogenetic cascade leads to decreased lipophagy with subsequent accumulation of large cytoplasmic lipid droplets. X-linked ATP6AP2 deficiency thus belongs to a new class of hereditary hepatopathies where impaired V-ATPase function causes defects in glycosylation and autophagy.

Week 4 roundup: April 27-May 2
CANTON – Every high school golf team has the advantage of familiarity playing a match on their home golf course. It's the course they practice on for days and weeks during the spring.
Playing at Tower Ridge Golf Course at the base of Talcott Mountain in Simsbury gives the Canton High boys and girls golf teams an added advantage. Walking up and down the steep hills that create the course can be difficult for a visiting team.
"You get tired lugging your own bag," Canton boys coach Bill Phelps said. "It's a huge advantage for us. We get used to that playing every day. It's not a big deal walking up and down those big hills." Canton has been playing a Tower Ridge since 2003 when the Canton Golf Course was closed to build the Shoppes at Farmington Valley.
The Canton boys posted its fourth lowest score ever at Tower Ridge last week with a 159-161 win over Somers. Canton's David Roux led the way with a 37 for nine holes while teammate Jon Phelps had a 39. Blaine Houlihan had a 41, Ryan Allen had a 42 and Brad Parliament had a 43.
Still, Canton (5-2-1, 3-1-1 NCCC) won by just two strokes, reinforcing the fact that the NCCC is very competitive. Allen was medalist with a 35 at Tallwood in Hebron in Canton's 155-186 win over Bolton earlier in the week.
"If we keep playing together like we can play, they'll have a very good next few weeks," Phelps said.
Canton still has league matches left with Avon and Tolland. The league champion is the team with the best record after 13 league matches.
GIRLS GOLF: The Canton girls golf team remains undefeated at 6-0 with a 187-208 victory over Suffield. Sarah Getz had a 44 at Airways in Suffield to lead Canton. The 21-stroke victory is the second closest bout of the year. Avon came within nine strokes of the Warriors in early April.
Freshman Nikki Liucci, Megan Roux, Kelly McAlindin and senior Tessa Newell are playing well, which has challenging matches remaining against Middletown, Cheshire and Lauralton Hall as they battle for the Southern Connecticut Girls Golf League championship.
TRACK & FIELD: The Warriors set six school records at Saturday's 78th annual Greater Hartford Invitational at Simsbury High. Rachel Schwartzman continues to break her own school record in the shot. With a throw of 28 feet, 6 inches, she broke her old record set earlier this year by nearly two feet.
Senior Alaina Casioppo set a new school record with a leap of 31 feet, 1.25 inches in the triple jump.
Two athletes brought home a pair of school records. Connor Smyth broke the long jump record mark with a leap of 19 feet, 3 inches, snapping the old mark set by Jasen Watson in 2007. Dylan Smith set a new record in the discus (94 feet, 3 inches), with a throw that was nearly 10 feet longer than Eric Comeau's mark set in 2007.
Canton's 4×100 girls relay team of Tyisha Alexanders, Alessandra Summa, Casioppo and Lucy Mentzer finished 11th in 54.55 seconds, breaking the old record set in 2007. The boys 4×100 relay team of Brian Lochner, Chris Hyde, Luke Talbot and Ryan Gallagher finished 13th in a record time of 47.19, over two seconds faster than the old record set in 2005.
Among the boys, Canton was sixth out of 15 small school teams with 35 points and 14th overall in the field of 29. The CHS girls were 14th among small schools and 27th overall.
Schwartzman was the only athlete to finish in the top 10. Casioppo, Collin Glasson (shot, 39-0) and Connor Smyth (37-10) were each 11th in the triple jump. Connor Smyth was 12th in the long jump while Dylan Smith (javelin) and Kevin Kurnat (1,600) each finished 13th.
In dual meets, Granby handed the Canton boys (4-1) its first loss in a 103-49 decision. The Canton girls slipped to 2-3 with a 100-42 loss to Granby.
BASEBALL: The Warriors (5-5, 3-4 NCCC) are getting some hits but are struggling to get some key two-out hits to drive in runs. Canton lost three of four games last week, each by two runs. They had eight hits in two games and 10 in the third contest.
Canton lost to Somers, 6-4, scoring three runs in the bottom of the seventh inning. The Warriors dropped a 6-4 decision to Ellington and had the bases loaded with one out in the sixth inning but failed to score. On Friday, Canton fell to Windsor Locks, 6-4 in eight innings on a two-run home run from Joe Bogli.
"We're hitting the ball hard but it's right at someone," Canton coach Brian Roy said. "We're just not catching a break."
First baseman Aaron Deaver had a strong week with two hits each against Windsor Locks and Ellington and a hit against Somers. Deaver had a key two-RBI single in a 3-0 win over Enfield two weeks ago.
Catcher Tyler Plourd was 2-for-3 with a single, triple and two RBI in a 6-5 win over Stafford last Monday. He added a home run, single and an RBI against Somers.
Kyle Beattie has been providing consistent hitting and solid play in the outfield, infield and on the mound. Travis Lane also hit a homer against Somers.
SOFTBALL: The Warriors (7-3, 4-2 NCCC) have found key hits hard to find as well. In the much-anticipated game with New Britain two weeks ago, Hurricane pitcher Kelsey Newberg allowed just four hits and fanned 16 in a 10-3 victory.
Canton rebounded with a 6-0 shutout over Enfield but stumbled in a 1-0 loss to Ellington at Canton as Purple Knight pitcher Morgan McPartland allowed just two hits. The Warriors had 15 hits and ripped Stafford, 13-0, last Monday but had just three hits and struck out 10 in a 3-1 loss to Somers.

Relevance may be the one term on which marketers from every discipline can agree. If you are sending out a communication via direct mail or email, you want to be sure it will be relevant to your targets based on what you know about them. If you are running display ads online, they need to be served within a context that is relevant. If you are delivering content on your own web site or via social media, that has to be especially relevant to gain any attention.
Although there is no agreed definition or standard for what relevance actually means, there is one undeniable component - your marketing will only be as relevant as your data on its targets is accurate. So marketers should be giving special emphasis to the information that underpins their activities, from defining who is the most appropriate audience for a message through to what type of message will resonate best with those targets and which media are most likely to reach that profile.
Given this dependency of marketing on being data-driven, you would expect its critical asset - in the form of a marketing database or CRM system - to have reached an optimal state. Yet, in the latest wave of the research carried out among DataIQ readers, in association with Royal Mail Data Services, the number one obstacle to data-driven marketing was named as "our database/CRM platform", with 43 per cent of respondents identifying this problem.
Allied to this issue, undoubtedly, was the fact that 31 per cent said "technology is holding us back". With all the excitement and emphasis that technology for data and analytics has gained in recent years, it is surprising that at the level of the basic building blocks, marketing is still struggling to get things right.
The problem is not particularly with data in itself, although 27 per cent complained that they lacked the data they required. Knowing that data exists somewhere is one thing - extracting it and transforming it into an actionable marketing resource is quite different. It requires skills, processes and technology to ensure data is flowing from where it gets created to where it gets consumed and acted on.
Instead, the reason why technology may not be serving marketing in the way it requires is more of a cultural problem - second on the list of obstacles to data-driven marketing was "the culture within my organisation", according to 40 per cent, while a further 26 per cent said there was a lack of understanding of the importance of customer data.
How can any business still doubt that the use of data has the potential to transform its performance, especially when it is deployed by marketing? Identifying the best prospects based on what your customers look like, knowing when a life event has triggered a purchasing phase or new set of needs or modelling propensity to respond and buy - these are all central to every type of marketing across all channels. Choosing not to take advantage of data when it can deliver significant uplift is wrong-headed.
Although 31 per cent reported that budget requirements were the biggest obstacle, data can not be thought of as separate from the marketing budget any longer. Successful businesses do not develop their marketing and then find the data to support it as two distinct activities with their own budget lines - they have data integrated from the outset, informing and improving everything that marketing does.
Having worked with clients on data-driven marketing programmes with significantly positive outcomes, it is always a surprise to learn some organisations have yet to yolk these two activities together. Perhaps we have just been lucky to work with the 11.5 per cent who said in this survey that nothing is holding them back. For the rest, knowing there is a way to enhance marketing's performance through the adoption of data-driven techniques has to be a message that is relevant.

"EIAG is proud to announce that we have commenced operations in Wellington, New Zealand. The capital and surrounding areas are home to large amounts of historical buildings from a wide range of architectural movements across it's more than 150 year history. The iconic buildings within Wellington are predominantly from the Victorian, Edwardian, Art Deco, Interwar, Post-war and Modern eras. These styles are what help make Wellington stand out as a unique city. However, during Wellington's past periods of expansion, asbestos was widely used in many products and applications for fire protection, insulation, and other uses.
As the predominant workplace hazard in Zealand with around 170 people dying to Asbestos exposure per year, the minimisation of preventable asbestos related diseases and death has been at the forefront for Worksafe to address in the Health and Safety at Work (Asbestos) Regulations 2016 and the ACOP: MANAGEMENT AND REMOVAL OF ASBESTOS.
Health and Safety at Work (Asbestos) Regulations 2016 state that: "(1) A PCBU with management or control of a workplace must ensure that—
- exposure of a person at the workplace to airborne asbestos is eliminated so far as is reasonably practicable; and
- if it is not reasonably practicable to eliminate exposure to airborne asbestos, exposure is minimised so far as is reasonably practicable."
The most important steps in minimising risk of asbestos exposure is locating the area of contamination, identifying positive samples through laboratory analysis and managing through asbestos removal, encapsulation or isolation. This is achieved through an asbestos management survey or asbestos demolition / refurbishment survey.
EIAG and staff have been heavily involved in supporting the Christchurch rebuild since 2013 and have vast knowledge and experience regarding asbestos and other hazardous materials and the steps required to minimise risk of exposure to workers and/or occupants.
If you require any further information, please contact us at EIAG. We look forward to working with you in helping make New Zealand's homes and work places safe and healthy environments."

text: Guest ChrisBFRPKY Posted October 28, 2010 I started this thread guys to see what some of you think about the importance of blobsquatch photos. Are they important? It depends. If you expect them to prove the existence of an unknown primate into the science books, it's not gonna happen. Look at the P/G film. 43 years later and it's still up for debate about what exactly is shown in the video. And "Patty" as she has become known is fairly clear in the video. For the skeptical, I can understand that blobsquatches are not gonna be very important. After all, the skeptic wants proof and a blobsquatch doesn't qualify as that. For the fence sitter, I can understand that blobsquatches may seem interesting to look at but since they lack any definite proof, nothing much is likely thought of the blobsquatch. For the researcher, ah for the researcher they're a tool. Not definite proof of Bigfoot, but a tool nonetheless. As an example: Let's say you're a BF field researcher. You get a call from someone's elderly Aunt Sally. Aunt Sally lives in a rural area. Aunt Sally tells you she's been having some BF sightings happening daily and asks you if you'd like to come out and take a look around. So you go there, interview Aunt Sally and she tells you every day at 4 o'clock old Bigfoot comes down the hill, stops at her apple tree, picks an apple, pops it in his mouth and treks back into the woods. The first thing most researchers would ask is "Did you get any pics?" If Aunt Sally says "nope." you'll probably take a look around for any evidence, finish the interview (and likely be waiting somewhere nearby at 4 o'clock) If nothing happens at 4 o'clock for a few days, you may even think Aunt Sally may have been having some fun with you, leave her a disposable camera and likely dismiss further verbal reports from her. But now let's look at it another way. During the first interview with Aunt Sally you ask her "Did you get any pics?" and she says "Sure! they're not very clear but here's pics of the last 6 times he's stolen my apples!" After viewing the blurry pics you can still tell there IS something at the apple tree that appears large, hairy and bipedal. Now you're gonna ask Aunt Sally if you can move in. So, to the researcher, I think Blobsquatches can be a very important tool. What do you guys think? Chris B. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

In February, 2016, we started getting serious about getting a house. My wife and I got married and lived in a mobile home (the preferred diggs of divorced dudes everywhere) for almost 10 years. Most of our stuff was in a storage unit and we needed more space to live. And I was getting tired of not being able to set up my It's a Wonderful Life ceramic village due to said lack of space. So we started looking.
We found one in a neighboring town that was huge (3000 square feet) and within our price range. It was a gorgeous house that was probably a hotel back when it was built in the 1800s. Then we paid for the inspection and found enough issues to send us running back to realtor.com.
We finally found a house in a small, quiet town. On the day we went through it for the first time, were the 7th family to go through the house on that day alone. We knew that there would be offers on the house because it was a great house, so we decided to make an offer that night and gut-check ourselves in the morning to make sure we really wanted it. We were the third offer made on that house that day. Our gut-check was super solid, and after some negotiating, we bought it.
And we love it. It's such a quiet, low-key town. Maybe a little more conservative than I prefer but everybody minds their own business and it's been wonderful. We have a large yard with room for a huge fire pit. We have a gargantuan deck on the back of the house that has been great for several parties and get-togethers so far. And the best part was that besides some cleaning and a little bit of paint, the house was practically move-in ready.
I can't wait to finish putting up my It's a Wonderful Life ceramic village this week (I'm almost finished. Pictures and video to come soon!). We even have room for two Christmas trees, and Jenn gave me free reign over our upstairs hallway/landing, so I decorated it with my It's a Wonderful Life collection, which stays up year-round.
|Our 3-foot-diameter fire pit and some top-shelf beer makes for a relaxing fall evening.

President Park emphasized that the U.N. should go back to where it began, with its human-centered goals and international cooperation, and play a central role in effectively responding to new, simultaneous threats and challenges, such as the continued conflicts in the Middle East and African regions, terrorism targeting foreigners in Iraq, the Ukrainian crisis and the Ebola epidemic.
In regard to global peace, Park stressed the need to resolve the North Korean nuclear issue and urged Pyongyang to make a strategic choice by giving up its nuclear weapons in exchange for economic development. The president explained her Northeast Asian peace vision, which is designed to solve regional conflicts concerning history, territory and ocean security and to build trust and cooperation between neighboring countries. She further explained the need to form a nuclear power safety body in Northeast Asia and discussed the ongoing efforts to built cooperation across Eurasia.
In regard to human rights, Park expressed her strong support for the U.N.'s strengthened policy on human rights. She highlighted the fact that at any time or any place sexual violence against women during wartime violates all human rights and all types of humanitarianism.
Regarding North Korean human rights issues in particular, Park urged Pyongyang and the international community to take the necessary measures to implement the recommendations made by the Commission of Inquiry (COI) under the U.N. Human Rights Council. She called for cooperation between the U.N. and other countries to protect the human rights of North Korean defectors so that they can implement their own free will to choose their final destination.
Concerning economic development, education and the environment, Park said that the Korean government will play a bridging role in achieving U.N. development goals after 2015, and that it is in the process of establishing a post-2020 New Climate Regime. The president said she will actively support sharing with other countries Korea's experiences with its New Community Movement, or Saemaeul Undong, the Korean government`s rural development program. The president also noted that Korea will be hosting the World Education Forum in 2015. She underlined the need to reach an agreement on the post-2020 New Climate Regime. Park further urged the international community to make efforts and to contribute to helping developing countries grow the capabilities to respond to climate change, as Korea led the establishment of the Green Climate Fund and the Global Green Growth Institute (GGGI).
President Park explained in detail her administration's policy toward a peaceful reunification of the Korean Peninsula and noted that reunification would contribute to the foundation goals of the U.N. and to its noble values. She emphasized that a reunified Korean Peninsula would be the starting point for a world without nuclear weapons, would be a fundamental solution to human rights abuses, and that it would be the beginning point to realize a newly stabilized and cooperative Northeast Asia.
In regard to her proposal to take small environmental steps to improve the livelihood of the people -- a policy she proposed in her August 15 Liberation Day speech -- the president stated that Seoul hopes to build a world peace park in the demilitarized zone. She said this park would become the starting point to reconnect nature with a people that has been divided into south and north for over 60 years. In this regard, she asked for support from the U.N. and the international community to help Korea reach these goals.

The first half of March 6, 2014 will be quite favorable. Your imagination and thirst for spiritual growth will increase.
Use your intuition as a guiding star while making decisions. Your mood might prove volatile in the second half of the day - you should try to control your emotions. .
This will be a perfect day for Aries to advance up their career ladder. Even if you run into some obstacles along the way, they won't have anything to do with the level of your professional expertise, but rather be of a psychological nature. Showcase your abilities and perfect your managing/planning skills.
Taurus is entering today with the feeling of self-confidence. Your natural practicality is growing stronger, you feel better overall and your ability to follow a strict plan of action is shining brightly today. No matter what you do, your efforts will not be wasted.
It's time for Gemini to focus on the problematic sides of their life. The issues related to your career and business reputation might become particularly acute. Do everything possible to restore understanding and respect with others; make efforts to earn and maintain a personal status.
On March 6, 2014 Cancer will care a lot about partnership relations, including their marriage, as well as their personal and professional image. Today this concern of yours will define the events around you and your well-being, outlook and mood.
Sense of duty will come first for Leo today. This might be the feeling of professional responsibility, the necessity to take on the household management; some of you might even feel accountable for their own sins. Good health is what you'll need to keep up with your duties: take good care of it.
Yet another time fate focuses Virgo's attention on their professional and creative realization as well as some issues in love, marriage, and intimate affairs. You are likely to be subjected to stress or face a sudden change in a familiar scenario of events.
Libra's motto of the day is constructive thinking, emotional restraint and a well-thought-out action plan. You'll plow through any obstacles by exercising this strategy. Much needed balance will be hard to achieve today. This might lead to outer complications and inner conflicts.
March 6, 2014 is rich in a variety of opportunities for Scorpio. You might be working closely with your colleagues, older relatives or your supervisor. You might show some interest in the subject of death, crime and politics. Even though it is not your goal to lead, people around you are inclined to follow your example.
Sagittarius should give preference to strategizing today: solve problems as a whole and have a sober mind about things. Those of you accustomed to overreacting might be left empty-handed. This will be a good time to solve the issues connected with financing, insurance, bonds, etc.
Today many things will be allowed to Capricorn. Your fate is guarding you; your gut coupled with experience are whispering the right decisions into your ear. Nonetheless, you should exercise a better self-control. Driven by a sudden impulse or overwhelmed by unpredictable events, you may lose your cool.
Focus and insight are required of Aquarius today. It's time to take on a responsibility and solve some serious problems. Even little things should be taken seriously. You might visit an establishment with a limited access or get in touch with your past.
Desperation will hardly be on Pisces' agenda today, but the doubts might very well be. Your lacking self-confidence might be rooted in the memories of some past events when you didn't act nobly. Luckily, you are not that defenceless today and you've got promising perspectives to look forward to.

John Legend introduced Luna to his grandma and it's the actual sweetest
This week was a big one for John Legend and Chrissy Teigen, because they got to introduce their precious daughter Luna to a very special lady indeed: John's grandma. And yes, there's a picture to prove it.
"Granny came from Ohio to meet Luna today," John captioned the picture on Instagram Thursday, featuring his grandma holding her great-granddaughter in her arms.
As People notes, John grew up in Springfield, Ohio, so he actually learned how to play piano from his grandmother. (Perhaps she's the reason he's in music today, and for that, we thank her.) Will she teach Luna how to play, too? Well, it turns out that Luna has already got the rhythm gene from her daddy, and though we're totally not surprised, we *are* overcome by the cuteness.
One thing's for sure — Baby Luna has got her great grandma behind her to support her in any possible music endeavors in the future. <3

It's a simple enough plot: a rookie cop has his revolver stolen. But in the hands of Japanese master director Akira Kurosawa, it becomes a tour de force of artful filmmaking. Character driven and massively atmospheric, the almost documentary realism of Tokyo in summer meltdown, the minutiae of sweating brows, panting dogs and the downpour that never comes, serves to ramp up the tension to a deliciously extreme degree.

Okay, so I'm slow in getting these up, but here are some photos from building cold frames two weeks ago.
Here's the back of my house in all it's redneck glory. The cold frames are snugged up against the south side of the house to best catch the southern tilt of the sun during the winter months.
So far I've constructed three frames. Two are planted with spinach, leeks and chard. The third is waiting it's bed of rich compost to make up for the clay and rock substrata you see before you.
Here's a detail of the swan door…
…and here's the trailer chic frosted geometric pattern.
Here I am applying the sage advice, "Measure twice, cut once."
This is a detail of constructing the back wall. Here I'm applying the backstop which acts as a rudimentary hinge for the glass top.
This is the inside of one of the frames. I've laid around two inches of compost as a seed bed, I plan on adding to this as the plants need it but initially wanted to start with plenty of growing room.
I'd really like to make a how-to video when I make the next frame, but that may be a few weeks away. Things get really busy around here during the holidays. Three birthdays, Thanksgiving and Christmas all take up a lot of our time. Nevertheless, there is much to do and I will post as often as I can. Thanks for reading.

Morrisons have released the hottest ever curry released by a supermarket, and it contains some of the world's hottest chillies!
The curry features the naga chilli, which is 200 times hotter than a jalapeño or tobasco sauce! Morrisons have recommended that only people over 16 try the curry as it is extremely spicy.
Some naga chillies are used in the production of tear gas grenades and pepper spray.
The curry costs £1.50 and is available for a limited amount of time to celebrate national curry day.
If you are brave enough to try the curry, Morrisons is encouraging you to post a video of you onto social media with the hashtag #volcanicvindaloo.
Are you brave enough to try this curry?

Some say that there are three views of the world – my viewpoint, your viewpoint and reality. I believe there are only two – the way I choose to see the world and the way you choose to see it. Whilst there may also be an objective reality, this is always superseded by the way we choose to look at it. When the reality of our world is full of fear, worry and/or sadness, then our viewpoint is that from a wounded soul who seeks to manage the outside world in order to bring peace to the inner world. When the reality of our world is full of co-operation, happiness and compassion, our viewpoint is that of a healing soul who is aware that our viewpoint on reality is always a reflection of the inner world that we create.The journey to change our perspective or awareness will last a lifetime, but the decision to change, takes place in a single moment – why not now?
Changing the world within and healing the childhood wounds, changes our perception of reality. It takes us on a journey from fear to love.
Remember that what the caterpillar calls the end of the world, the butterfly calls a new beginning…

I'm just back from the Dublin Tech Summit. Inspiring event.
And this evening there has been some good news regarding the planning application for the ill fated Athenry Data Centre. And although Apple have pulled out I'm certain someone will build a data centre on that site eventually.
Ireland's mild climate makes us an ideal location for data centres, and although they do use massive amounts of energy, centralised cloud computing is actually more efficient than the alternative. The benefits (and drawbacks) of smartphones, social media, photo sharing, etc that we all enjoy wouldn't be possible without data centres.
Plus, thanks to our climate, they can be powered in the long term by wind energy.

>Cancer seems to be one of those things, like many, that you don't really realize how awful and destructive it is until you witness it firsthand. Obviously everyone knows it is a horrible disease, and I've known people who have both survived it and died from it, but I haven't been particularly close enough to any of them to really see what happens. My grandfather had prostate cancer, but he was already living in the nursing home and suffering from Alzheimer's and Parkinson's when he was diagnosed, so I never saw the effects that the cancer had on him. My father-in-law was diagnosed with lymphoma about a year and a half ago. He went through chemo and he visibly struggled with it, but he continued working throughout his treatment, and aside from seeming more tired than usual, he did really well. One of my childhood friends has breast cancer, but I believe she's in remission now. We lost touch and when I found her again on FB, I noticed that all her recent pictures featured a headscarf. I put two-and-two together and when I asked her about it, she confirmed it. One of my sorority sisters in college died from chemotherapy complications for lung cancer. They found a tumor on her lung when she was 11, and it had gone unnoticed for so long that it spread down to her ovaries and had snaked it's way all around inside her so badly that they had to remove her ovary and some other stuff, but mostly she was ok. When she was 20, she started to get sick again and it turned out the cancer was
back. She suffered respiratory problems from the chemo and decided she did not want to be put on a vent, so she passed away.
None of this has really hit me until now, watching my mom battle it. She was so ill and tiny to begin with (just 85 pounds at the start of treatment), that the chemo and radiation have just wreaked havoc on her body, leaving her at a whopping 70 pounds when she was admitted to the hospital on Monday morning. She can't walk without assistance, she throws up everything she eats (although this has improved since she was admitted, as they've been giving her anti-nausea meds via IV and have stopped all treatments), she can't swallow very well due to the radiation for the tumors in her lymph nodes, and she is severely depressed and anxious.
Watching your tiny, 70 pound mother lie in bed and struggle to cough up chunks of blood is not pretty. Having to help her sit up so that she doesn't choke on her own vomit is even worse, especially when you touch her and realize all you're touching is bone covered by a thin layer of skin.
She is doing slightly better now that she's able to eat and drink. They're giving her meds to boost her appetite, and they've increased her anti-anxiety meds to help her sleep, but she is still nowhere near healthy. One of the radiation specialists came to visit her yesterday and informed her that radiation would be starting again on Monday so that they can finish the last 8 sessions (she's completed 27 out of 35). She said no, she's not doing it. There is just no way she is going to gain enough weight and be well enough in 3 days to withstand more of these sessions. It's just not possible. She understands that her window of opportunity to complete the treatment might pass her by (for whatever reason, you can't have more than one round of radiation), but she's ok with that because doing it would probably kill her.
I'm scared because I know there is no cure. Treatment can help to keep things under control, but what happens if you can't complete treatment?
