After last year's breakthrough with the RISE Festival, the city of Christchurch in New Zealand hosts a big street art festival, putting this lovely town on the map of the most important street art festivals in the world. As part of the Oi YOU! project, the SPECTRUM Festival is presenting an international line-up of major street artists. The Canterbury Museum in Christchurch is the central venue together with the YMCA Hareford Street, where different programs and artists are planned to cover all the street art directions and approaches, as well as a wide range of topics that inspire the most significant street artist. The people behind the Oi YOU! collection that organizes the SPECTRUM festival are two Britons – George Shaw and Shannon Webster – who moved their activities to New Zealand in 2009.
One street in Christchurch with quite unusual, yet familiar name for many, YMCA Hareford Street, will become a big and vibrant public space where many activities of the SPECTRUM Festival take place. The street art activities in this small street become a real museum of modern street art, the homage to some of the pioneers of the movement. In this street, a wide range of activities are planned, that will complement the already existing painted walls. Wild Style and Substance pays homage to the graffiti kings of New York from 1970s and 1980s whose work led to the foundations of the modern street art movement. The Christchurch-based artists Dr Suits, Jen, Porta, Reuben Woods and Xpres Izm worked on the installations with the common name Stick em up in which the visitors will be able to experience paste-ups and stickers street art techniques. The collaboration between Sofles and filmmaker Selina Miles that has been lasting for more than a decade produced the films about graffiti art. Yet, this time the duo worked on a huge installation entitled Quicksilver, with lights, sound and paint twisted in a way to provoke unique immersive experience for the viewer. The Enter Through the Thrift Shop by Milton Springsteen plays with corporate logos, advertising hoardings and famous paintings. Springsteen spent two years visiting shops to find unwanted artworks. By modifying and reworking the artworks and corporate logos, he paints the walls that also address social and political issues. One more interesting Christchurch street and graffiti art crew known as the DTR Crew collaborated with major street artists, and their works will be shown as well, promoting once again local New Zealand growing street and graffiti art movement.
The SPECTRUM Festival gathers truly major street artists of the international scene. We have already mentioned Sofles and his collaboration with Selina Miles. The famous French street artist Tilt will present his Panic Room with installations unique for their composition of colors. Exactly 50% of white is opposed to a cacophony of color. His work will be shown at the YMCA venue, together with Banksy's works. Another internationally recognized street artist, Adnate, will be present at the SPECTRUM Festival. This brilliant artist is probably most famous for his large-scale portraits and his use of spray paint which carries his unique realistic style. Probably the most famous street artist from New Zealand, Owen Dippie is well-known for his large scale, photo-realistic artworks that are created using only spray color. Dippie's fellow countryman Jacob Yikes and his works will be on show, with Yikes' colorful graffiti characterized by decorative and a bit bizarre compositions. At the SPECTRUM street art festival, the amazing works by Buff Monster, Cope2, Dcypher and Flox will be on show as well.
The Banksy Collection is a special accompanying part of the SPECTRUM Festival in Christchurch. It is composed of the some of the best known pieces by this extraordinary artist. The Flower Thrower, Kids on Guns, Kate Moss are only few of the many other famous pieces in this collection, together with Collection's memorabilia, which comprises of Banksy stickers, postcards, and the famous 10 pound banknotes. Without any doubts, the Banksy Collection is going to be the one of the highlights of the festival.
Let's mention again the roster of major street artists at the SPECTRUM Festival: Adnate, Buff Monster, Cope2, Dcupher, Flox, Jacob Yikes, Owen Dippie, Sofles and Tilt; and parallel with this amazing list, the Banksy Collection. Some works will be on show at The Canterbury Museum in Christchurch, while the others will be at the YMCA Hareford Street. The SPECTRUM Festival in Christchurch begins on February 14th, and it will last until May 10th.

The South Korean military has claimed that the trajectory of Pyongyang's alleged intercontinental ballistic missile (ICBM) showed that it flew at least ten times higher than the International Space Station.
What's more, the ICBM managed to fly at an altitude which is "twice as high as any satellite in low-earth orbit," NBC News quoted South Korea's military as saying.
US Defense Secretary James Mattis, for his part, told journalists shortly after the launch that this North Korean missile was "higher, frankly, than any previous shot they have taken."
Latest: #NorthKorea missile flew 3700 miles up, 1400 miles higher than previous highest-altitude launch. This was an ICBM test pure and simple.— Jim Sciutto (@jimsciutto) 28 ноября 2017 г.
The projectile traversed 1,000 kilometers (620 miles) before crashing into the Sea of Japan. Seoul 'retaliated' against the launch by carrying out a "precision strike" missile drill immediately afterward.
US officials say the ICBM flew at the highest point yet for a North Korean missile 2,800 miles (4,500 kilometers). It was also North Korea's longest duration flight for a NK missile, in the air for an estimated 50 minutes.— luis martinez (@LMartinezABC) 28 ноября 2017 г.

A couple weeks back, I indicated that the Libratone Zipp looked (and sounded) tempting. I gave into my temptations and purchased the $300 speaker, and I don't regret it. It has become my go-to device at home and in my car.
Some may think it's crazy to use a portable AirPlay-enabled speaker (it's also compatible with Amazon's Alexa, Spotify Connect, and other services) for my car, especially since the car has decent stereo speakers. But the sound that comes out of the Libratone Zipp travels with me better than the full car stereo system .
In my short time with the speaker in my previous article, I said I was fascinated, but not completely thrilled, with the Zipp's sound. Using it for three weeks proves that initial impressions are sometimes downright wrong.
While the Zipp doesn't have as strong bass as some other smart speakers, it has the most natural-sounding bass. The bass kicks in very well and pushes your eardrums, but doesn't torture them. The best part about it is that there is a noticeable separation between the high, low, and mid ranges. Here's a clip of me playing Katy Perry's "Dark Horse" with the Zipp. It's not the best song, but it demonstrates the natural-sounding bass of the speaker.
The controls aren't simple, but they become easier with use. I still don't like circling a button with my finger to turn the volume up or down since I sometimes turn it up too much and same with the other way around. The Wi-Fi connection (I use my Galaxy Note 8 hotspot) is great and has rarely disconnected. You have to wait about 20 seconds though for the Zipp to make a full connection, and that can be annoying.
I had a very difficult time attaching Libratone's speaker to my dashboard (I tried all sorts of methods), but at three pounds, it's just too heavy. So, I leave it on the passenger's seat, but the sound still fills up the car. I haven't had a passenger since getting the Zipp, so I don't know where I'll put it once I do.
I have to charge the Zipp once every two days, but I'm not upset. After all, the Zipp is one of the only rare battery-operated smart speakers available. It's hard to believe that other manufacturers have not seen a market for a battery-operated speaker, but that will change soon.
I was considering buying another Zipp in a few more months to pair with my current one. This would provide stereo sound. However, I may not actually need it since the sound on just one speaker is more than adequate. It's a shame more people don't know more about the Zipp; otherwise, it would sell incredibly well. In terms of value, the Libratone Zipp is the best smart speaker on the market.

By JOHN MARSHALL AP Sports Writer
PHOENIX (AP) — Zack Greinke stymied Milwaukee's hitters most of the night, wriggling out of one jam while moving up baseball's all-time strikeouts list.
Once Arizona's ace left, the Brewers took advantage.
Mike Moustakas hit a three-run homer in the eighth inning and the Brewers scored six runs after Greinke left to beat the Diamondbacks 8-3 Saturday night.
"They got a good outing out from their starter, but we kept it close with some good pitching of our own," Brewers manager Craig Counsell said.
"Then we had a good inning against a reliever having a good year."
Greinke allowed two runs and struck out nine in seven innings to move into 29th on baseball's all-time strikeouts list, leaving with a 3-2 lead.
He was replaced by Andrew Chafin (0-2), who allowed an infield single and a walk to set the table for Moustakas' 26th homer.
"It was right where I wanted it," Chafin said. "I wanted to go heater down and away and he just went with it. He beat me on a pitch."
The Brewers weren't done, either.
Keston Hiura blooped a two-run single in the ninth and Christian Yelich had a run-scoring double in the inning for his third hit.
Milwaukee's bullpen made it possible.
Gio Gonzalez was solid in his return from the injured list before struggling in the fifth inning, but the Brewers' pen shut down the Diamondbacks.
Freddy Peralta struck out four in two innings and Adrian Houser (3-4) allowed a hit in 1 1/3 innings. Josh Hader struck out two after Ketel Marte hit a one-out triple off Houser in the eighth and Jeremy Jeffress worked around a walk in the ninth to close it out.
Arizona had one hit and two baserunners after Gonzalez left in the fifth.
"I can't say enough about the bullpen," Gonzalez said. "Those guys were lights out."
Eric Thames hit a solo homer for the Brewers, who have won four of five.
Greinke was good early against the Brewers before running into trouble in the fourth inning. Ryan Braun hit a run-scoring single and Milwaukee loaded the bases with one out after Thames was intentionally walked, but Greinke ended the threat with two strikeouts.
Greinke (2,548) passed No. 31 Tim Keefe (2,555) and No. 30 Jerry Koosman (2,556) on baseball's all-time strikeouts list. Greinke also had a run-scoring double.
"You feel like after seven innings Zack is throwing the ball extremely well, you are going to turn it over to your bullpen," Diamondbacks manager Torey Lovullo said. "You got the matchups you that you want. It is the beauty of this game. That is what makes this game so spectacular is that it was set up so perfectly for us and we just didn't execute."
Gonzalez had been out since May 29 with arm fatigue and the Brewers optioned right-hander Burch Smith to Triple-A San Antonio to make room for him on the roster.
The Diamondbacks wore Gonzalez out by the fifth inning.
Christian Walker hit a run-scoring single off the left-hander in the first inning and the Diamondbacks chased him with three straight doubles to open the fifth. Carson Kelly and Greinke put Arizona up 3-1 with their run-scoring doubles.
In the bottom of the fourth inning, two women were escorted away by security after climbing onto Milwaukee's dugout and unfurling a banner. The two women held each end of the banner and fans began throwing debris at them before security arrived to take them off the dugout.
In the top of the eighth inning, a fan jumped over the left field wall as Thames popped out and was quickly tackled by security. The man struggled against several officers and twice dropped to the ground. He was led away after one officer pulled off his pants and shoes.
Diamondbacks: RHP Matt Andriese (left foot contusion) was placed on the 10-day injured list after taking a liner off the foot against the Brewers on Friday night. Arizona recalled RHP Stefan Crichton from Triple-A Reno to take his roster spot. … OF David Peralta took batting practice and ran the bases before the game in his return from an inflamed right shoulder. He could go on a rehab assignment soon.
Brewers: RHP Brandon Woodruff has four straight quality starts heading into Sunday's series finale. The first-time NL All-Star allowed a run on five hits in 6 2/3 innings against Atlanta on Tuesday.
Diamondbacks: LHP Alex Young has made a strong case to remain in the rotation, going 3-0 with a 0.96 ERA in four starts to open his rookie season.

Kim Soo Hyun's Fans Celebrate Actor's Birthday through Large Donations to the Needy
Actor Kim Soo Hyun's fans have shown another example of the changing culture of fandom in Korea. The actor's fans recently celebrated his birthday by donating large amounts of supplies to those in need. On February 16, fans donated 4.22 tons of rice, 6220 coal heating blocks, 3200 diapers, and 1200 ramyun in Kim Soo Hyun's name. That's not all, as the actor's fans also donated about 4694 USD to those in need. The reason behind such generous donations was that Kim Soo Hyun's fans believed that although a gift specifically for the actor would have been nice, donating to those in need was a more meaningful way to celebrate the actor's birthday.
Previously, Kim Soo Hyun's fans had displayed their acts of kindness through donation events. During the press conference for the actor's 2012 movie, "The Thieves," fans donated 1.5 tons of rice, and for the press conference of the 2013 movie "Secretly and Greatly," fans donated 4.22 tons of rice and 100 mango trees. Furthermore, back in December, fans donated 2 tons of rice and 6000 coal heating blocks to support Kim Soo Hyun and his SBS drama, "Man from the Stars."
In response to the generous actions of fans, the actor's agency, Keyeast, commented, "We are moved by the fans' heartfelt presents. In order to repay fans, Kim Soo Hyun will work his best during the remainder of the filming for 'Man from the Stars.'" Once again we are reminded by how the support of fans can come in all different forms.

The fourth volume in the series "In collezione," curated by the Fondazione Giulio e Anna Paolini, presents an interpretation of the work Lo spazio (1967), mainly based on the relationship between the work, the space, and the viewer. In addition to tracing the genesis of this theme in Paolini's previous output, Riccardo Cuomo especially focuses on the intricate juxtaposition between the conceptual and physical-perceptive elements that distinguish the work analysed. The author also compares the tautological and linguistic component of Lo spazio with several contemporary works by Luciano Fabro and Alighiero Boetti, as well as with other works by Paolini.
Riccardo Cuomo earned a degree in Art History at the Università degli Studi "La Sapienza" in Rome (2012), where he is at present completing his doctorate in Contemporary Art History with a project centred on a study of the relationship between Arte Povera and Italian Kinetic-Programmed Art. He has published the essay "Le forme della logica. Il cinema di Richard Serra" (Art & dossier 296, 2013), taken from his dissertation, and he has also collaborated on the volume Carlo Alberto Petrucci. Direttore e artista (Rome: Palombi, 2014). His writings include the essay "Luciano Fabro e il Gruppo T" (Predella 37, forthcoming).

I'm sorry it's taken me so long to update! Much has been in flux since then, so I didn't want to string anyone along for my indecisiveness. However, the layoff has also been a good thing, because the importance of avoiding biotoxins has become clearer than ever to me.
For starters, the house that I thought was good still ended up being OK all this time, but I didn't set out on this journey to get to "OK." It was clear that my body was reacting to stuff in there: every time I stood up I got vertigo, and I had a constant headache in that house. Some may say those are just ME/CFS symptoms, and not too long ago I would've agreed with that. In fact, when I was living in a house in Los Angeles that was way beyond the danger zone on the ERMI test, I felt like that (and worse) every day. I thought it was "just CFS" too. I couldn't even use the computer for more than a few hours a day before I totally crashed.
Granted this house was much better than that. I was able to function pretty well there, especially when it came to using my computer which is my lifeline (I don't have TV). Yet, I knew that I wasn't going to do ampligen in that house, because that would be settling when I've experienced the other side. However, with the snow pouring on, I wasn't ready to move back into an aluminum cold-conducting refrigerator on wheels. So I found a place in the hills to try out. Now I remembered what my moldy house felt like. The irony is that you feel so full of CFS symptoms with that level of exposure that it makes it difficult to leave. It lulls you into a false sense of rationalized comfort, not to say anything about having the siren of a TV again. Man I forgot mind-numbingly delightful a free Harry Potter marathon could be 🙂
But I bucked up and asked the landlord if I could move my trailer into her backyard and stay there. Shockingly she said yes. My first night there, I crashed like a baby. It felt like my body finally wanted to sleep for the first time in months. Within a few hours, my brain & vision had come back online. 2 days later, the unbelievable happened. I drove a ways to do 5 loads of laundry (carrying them all in trash bags), went grocery shopping, drove back, hung dry all 5 loads in 30-something degree weather, went back into my trailer and waited for the crash. And waited. Then I found myself stop waiting, and went to work on my computer. Sure I was winded, but the burning PEM (and by burning I mean hot sensation all over combined with cold sweats and flu-like malaise) never came. My heart took a bit of a beating, but stopping inflammation in its tracks does not fix your deficient organs. I've learned that much. However, I think that is half the battle, as Rituximab and Ampligen trials may have shown.
Of course, every time this happens, I pay for it dearly the next day. Well, the unbelievable happened again: I drove 30-something miles downtown, went grocery shopping at not one but 2 stores, then went to a coffee shop and worked for a few hours. Drove back, and stayed on my computer for much of the night.
No way?
And today, I drove the same distance back and forth. I won't lie: there was some profound fatigue today, but here I am blogging after a few hours of work so the PEM still hasn't hit. That's 3 days of pretty substantial activity for me without PEM.
So with this experience, I've decided that biotoxin avoidance is a bigger part of the picture for me than I ever imagined. I never experienced lessening of OI and PEM in my past attempts at avoidance. These were core symptoms that I attributed to virii, and they still might be, but I now have my first experience of a subtle shift in those core symptoms due to only avoidance and no bug killing. I've decided to get clear in any way I can, perhaps moving down to warmer pastures near the water for a few months, and taking CSM to detoxify and lower my reactivity. Only then should I start ampligen. That isn't to say I don't think Ampligen would make this whole journey much easier: the experiences of Peterson's patients in Incline Village implies that Ampligen might very well make patients stop reacting to this stuff. However, my going hypothesis is that by lowering reactivity first, ampligen will work much faster and without being as bumpy of a ride. I'm only trying to get a certain point of function with Ampligen, because I don't believe it's a lasting cure. Even if I could afford to take ampligen every year (which I can't) I don't want to because no matter what the safety profile is, it's still a synthetic drug and I don't want ongoing exposure to it. Once I get to a good enough level of function (enough to work full-time from my computer), I would likely return to extreme avoidance and take a cheaper bug killer such as gcmaf on an ongoing basis.
That's the master plan anyway.

Three people have been seriously injured after their car hit a house and caught fire.
The blue Vauxhall Zafira crashed into the house on the A857 on the Isle of Lewis at around 1.30am on Saturday.
The car caught fire, which spread to part of the house.
The driver and two passengers in the car - men aged 22, 32 and 36 - were taken to Western Isles Hospital with serious injuries.
The driver of the car has been arrested in connection with road traffic offences, police said.
A 61-year-old who had been in the house was able to escape with police help. She was not injured.
Sergeant Donald Sinclair appealed for anyone who saw the crash or the car being driven on the A857 before 1.30am to contact police.
He added: "I'm particularly keen to speak to anyone who may have dashcam footage which could help with our enquiries."

January Jones returned to the red carpet for the 'Good Kill' photocall and premiere, hosted during the 2014 Venice Film Festival in Venice, Italy on Friday (September 5).
Photocall: While at the Palazzo Del Casino, the actress selected a BOSS Fall 2014 ivory silk dress with sheer chiffon detailing, contrasted by Casadei black suede wrap-around, lace-up sandals and her adorable wavy long bob. Déjà vu has likely set in already, as this is a repeat feature just worn recently by Caroline Issa at the GQ Men of the Year Awards. Still, it maintained all the subtle chic factor that we saw in its first run.
Premiere: Staying in the light colour palette, January debuted a BOSS fully micro-beaded, custom V-neck column gown, accessorized with on-trend Jack Vartanian black diamond ear climbers and a Le Vian diamond ring. The shimmering, statuesque slinkiness of this gown had me at hello, although I could have done without the beehive updo.
Which look captured your attention?

AWKWARD: Chelsea Clinton calls asset forfeiture Orwellian, accidentally BLASTS her own dad
Think people on both sides of the aisle can agree that this new DOJ asset forfeiture policy is some serious BS …
JUST IN: DOJ new asset forfeiture policy – police can seize property from people not charged w/crime even in states where it's been banned. pic.twitter.com/P8K0g80m4E
— Paula Reid (@PaulaReidCBS) July 19, 2017
But for the daughter of the president who only made asset forfeiture worse in 2000 to pretend she's super concerned about it now is just obnoxious.
Orwellian. 1984 in 2017: https://t.co/M3x7TDrT4y

Thinking Chelsea Clinton should probably avoid any and all references to Orwell. Just sayin'. In fact, any and all Clintons should avoid such references.
Wait, they should avoid tweeting in general – yeah, that's it.
The Civil Asset Forfeiture Reform Act of 2000 (CAFRA) was signed into law by former President Bill Clinton made it worse.

I realize admitting this here means everyone on the planet who has internet access can know know this about me. Thank you for your concern.
I prefer toilet paper to roll over the top instead of out from the bottom.
There. That wasn't so bad.
When I come across a roll that is installed the wrong (in my opinion) way, I am not happy. I have fleeting thoughts of how the world might be a better place if we would all learn to install toilet paper rolls the right (in my opinion) way. I wonder why not every gets this fairly obvious (to me) fact.
Then I fairly quickly give thanks that I am not responsible for the installation of every roll of toilet paper in the world. That is a job I, in fact, do not want. (I'm not even sure I would want the job even if it was guaranteed to make the world a better place.)
So, the last time I faced this particular traumatic moment, I realized that one of the first rules of living in community is that we must be willing to let go of things we are not willing to do ourselves.
I am not claiming this is an absolute rule; there are certainly expectations and standards on some matters. Consider how much frustration we cause one another when we expect the same results from someone else on a task that we would refuse to do or ask them to do.
Is there no room for training, or discussion, or negotiation? On the contrary; such talk is perhaps the thing we are really missing in our society. We lay expectations on one another without any talk about what our expectations are or where they come from.
Roll your toilet paper whichever way you want. But I would appreciate it if one of you who prefers rolling from under to explain to me why.

Release Date: Jul 5, 2004
Record label: Polydor
Genre(s): Indie, Rock
It's a confused lineage the Open lay claim to on their debut: on one hand, stretching back through Radiohead (when they wrote proper tunes), the Verve, the Waterboys and pre-irony U2; on the other, wanting to be seen as breathing a more rarefied air alongside the Blue Nile, David Sylvian and Talk Talk. But you'll search in vain for echoes of elegiac otherness in these comparatively straightforward, rockist songs. They have either a moody, inclusive non-specificity or a prosaic blandness, depending on your mood.

Elon Musk starts The Brick Store LLCNovember 19, 2018
According to the public documents submitted by The Boring Company (TBC) Elon Musk has started a new company called The Brick Store LLC which plans to sell bricks made out of spoil which is a byproduct from the tunnel digging.
The company was founded in July and will be managed by the same person responsible for the TBC – Steve Davis, who is an ex-SpaceX engineer who led the SpaceX Hyperloop Pod Competition.
The documents show the location of The Brick Store which will be directly on top of the end station of the first TBC 2 mile long test track. In addition to selling bricks the location will be used to extract the tunnel boring machine.
Earlier this month Musk tweeted this:
The Boring Company is building a watchtower in LA out of dirt bricks & we need a knight to yell insults at people in a French accent https://t.co/VChOVXXVaz
— Elon Musk (@elonmusk) November 15, 2018
And this:
Boring Co is launching a whole product line of DIY watchtowers. You get bricks & a picture.
— Elon Musk (@elonmusk) November 15, 2018
This comes as a second rather unique way to fund the company's projects. Earlier this year TBC was selling not-a-flamethrowers which all sold out.

- Title: Leadership, Teamwork, and Trust: Building a Competitive Software Capability (SEI Series in Software Engineering)
- Author: Watts S. Humphrey, James W. Over
- Released: 2011-01-09
- Language:
- Pages: 368
—Walker Royce
Vice President, Chief Software Economist
"How to successfully manage knowledge workers is definitely the first of the really big business management challenges of the twenty-first century. Now Watts Humphrey and James Over are able to show how improving leadership, teamwork, and trust are at the heart of what needs to be done and to explain exactly how empowerment, productivity, and profitability are deeply intertwined. This book provides expert guidance on how to reliably bring knowledge work in on time, on budget, and to the correct specification—something that the software engineering industry has been grappling with for decades. There is a better way, and this is it!"
—Mark Smith
Global Director of Quality (2000 to 2010) and former Senior Executive, Global PSQ,
and Certifications Director, Accenture
"Read this book if you're a team leader, manager, or executive responsible for knowledge-working teams. Benchmark your own principles and practices for team motivation, high product quality, and sustained competitive results against industry leaders. Based on their extensive software industry experience, Watts Humphrey and Jim Over present the techniques that empower self-directed knowledge-working teams to produce superior work, both predictably and at the lowest cost. Software organizations will be compelled to try the Team Software Process (TSP), as we did in Microsoft IT with great success."
—Aiden Wayne
Information Solutions General Manager
Microsoft Entertainment and Devices Division
"I want you to know that TSP is one of the most valuable innovations implemented in the Beckman Coulter product development process since I joined the company in 2002. Software has become increasingly important to the success of our instrument systems. And in our business, quality is the most important factor for success. TSP gives us a path to better development time to market and superior quality. We are true believers."
—Scott Garrett
Chairman and Chief Executive Officer
Beckman Coulter, Inc.
"Stock exchanges are businesses that have been shaken in recent years by new regulations and unprecedented competition driven by technology. The Mexican Stock Exchange is no exception and is currently immersed in its most important process of business and technological transformation since its creation in the nineteenth century. Understanding that the competitiveness of the exchange will come mostly from its technology platform, we have recognized the value of knowledge work and its management challenges. We adopted TSP/PSP, with coaching from the Software Engineering Institute of Carnegie Mellon, for managing the execution of our most critical software projects. Results so far are very good, and we plan to gradually extend the TSP/PSP practice across the company."
—Enrique Ibarra
Director, General Adjunto de Tecnologias del Grupo Bolsa Mexicana de Valores (Mexican Stock Exchange)
"Watts Humphrey has done more to advance the science of Software Quality Management than anyone I know. His work has had an immense, positive impact on how I lead software organizations. If you want software that is better quality, faster to the market, and cheaper to build, then Watts Humphrey and Jim Over have a tremendous amount of wisdom to share. Great stuff."
—Michael J. Cullen
Vice President, Quality
Oracle Communications Global Business Unit
"I'm very impressed with the results of TSP in my organization. It is possible to see the difference made by applying these new knowledge-management methods. With TSP, you can adjust your processes, make them leaner, and obtain high-performance teams. This book is perfect guidance for all executives and managers who want to introduce those methods into their organizations."
—Joao Barracose
Senior Manager, Development Systems
BBVA BANCOMER (Mexico)
"PSP and TSP have proved to be incredibly successful means for my engineering teams and managers to make and meet their business commitments. Getting high-quality automotive infotainment and head-unit software developed by geographically and culturally separated teams on increasingly tight schedules demands the disciplined engineering and management techniques outlined and referenced in this great new book!"
—Peter Abowd
President, Worldwide Automotive Business
Altia, Inc.

How to Choose a Good Appraiser
It is good to determine how much your property can cost. When selling, it will ensure that you do not sell it below its true value. The choices you make concerning an appraiser have much to determine on how accurate the value you get is. Below are the guidelines on how to hire a suitable appraiser.
You should hire an experienced appraiser. It is crucial for appraisers to have appraised in the kind of a property you need to be evaluated for a number of years. An appraiser must also have been practicing within your area in order to be sure that they are familiar with the prices applying for such a property in the specific area. In order to determine the level of experience an appraiser has, ask what properties they have evaluated in your area. You should select an appraiser that has been hired consistently in that area.
You should pay attention to the legal compliance. Before they can begin their working in the industry, governments need that an appraiser has specified standards. Appraisers are thus needed to submit copies of documents that show they are qualified for their work, after which they are issued with licenses. A reliable appraiser should renew their licenses after the specified period. You should take a look at the appraiser's license to ensure it is valid.
You should inquire from others. It is not wise to hire an appraiser simply because they have designated themselves that title. It is vital for you to gather more information from people you can trust including lenders, real estate agents and lawyers. These people can give helpful information about appraisers they have hired in the past. Ensure you ask regarding their qualifications and experience. You can as well use the internet to know whether there have been complaints about an appraiser.
Ensure you check professional memberships. Many reputed appraisers have professional memberships. However, you should look out for the appraisers with the most reputed associations. This will assure of the appraiser being committed to quality as the association keeps them updated on new trends in the industry to enable them to upgrade their operations. Also, an appraiser has a keen eye on ethical standards.
Check professionalism. You should ensure that the appraiser you are about to hire has knowledge of what is expected of them by the industry. A good appraiser should have undergone the curriculum needed by the government. In order to show the passion they have for appraising, an appraiser should have furthered their education. For you to ensure that the papers show what an appraiser can offer, pose questions and go for an appraiser who does not seem confused when responding.

- You talk about Harry Potter so much that your friends are either sick of hearing about it or they finally read they books and become Harry Potter fans as well.
I can spectacularly geek out on both the IT/PC Enthusiast/CS and HP fronts. Some people can tolerate one mode, a couple can withstand both for very brief periods of time, but most are very scared from either.
- You read the books out loud to yourself in a British accent.
"Oh, come one, it's so fun!" - Exactly.
- You spend 10 hours a day writing e-mails and such for Harry Potter message boards and RPGs.
I used to, back on the HPC.

I can last 24 hours without any symptoms and am very proud at this accomplishment.
- You go to a movie you don't really want to see just for the H.P. trailer.
Can't afford it and don't particularly like the AOL-TW rendition anyway.
- Every time your computer says, "You've got mail" you run outside, looking for owls.
- Every little thing reminds you of something in Harry Potter.
Or gives me outrageous plot bunnies. Yesss.

"Can't everyone?" - Exactly
- You frequently dare people: "Come on, quiz me, quiz me on HP!"
- You KNOW the title of the seventh book.
- You've been arrested (more than once) for breaking into Mrs. Rowlings' house and searching for the last paragraph of HP 7. (She says it would be a disaster if it were published. I wonder what it contains?)
- You say a password before entering your house.
- You say "Lumos" before you turn on the lights.
- Whenever someone uses the phrase "you-know-who," you instinctively think "Voldemort."
I catch myself doing that at times.
- You have a cat named Crookshanks, a rat named Scabbers or Wormtail, a lizard named Norbert, and a dog named Fluffy, Snuffles, or Padfoot.
I would have, have I had a pet.
- You go to the zoo and try to speak to the boa constrictor.
- You made Butterbeer and served it to your friends
- You tried to make Pumpkin Juice.
- You've taken a pencil, pointed it to the television remote, & shouted: "Accio Remote," becoming disapointed when it wouldn't come.
- You seriously think about which Harry Potter character you could play in the movie, and memorize all their lines.
- You're an American and you start using Britishn slang terms like "git," "bloody," "nutters," and "prat."
Man oh man. When I'm not watching myself, I have the weirdest accent and vocabulary you can imagine. Worse.
- Your first question to every new person you meet is, "Have you read the Harry Potter series?" If they have, you'd just made a new best friend & if not, your opinion of them falls drastically.
- You've stayed up all night reading HP FanFics.
I have skipped my entire senior year of high school reading fanfic.
- You think the next 23 days are going to be the longest in your life!!

Guest blog We are Stronger together
As well as Muddly Mum being a place for me to talk candidly about my own struggles, I have met some awesome people on twitter who are using their own mental health struggles as a springboard to making a difference others. I find this beautiful, a sense of creating beauty from ashes. Becky is one such lovely lady and I've asked her to share her story with us.
Could you tell us a little about what led you to start up stronger together?
When I was really ill, I put my family and friends through hell. I shouted, I screamed, I blamed them. I demanded they fixed it and made all the bad go away and I made them miserable when all they were doing was doing their best to be there for me and support me through the darkest days. All I saw was how hard it was for me and how much I was struggling, but at the time I couldn't see the immense pressure and strain I was putting on everyone else.
No one, including me, had ever experienced mental illness before, or even known anyone who had been through anything similar so it was new to us all. while I had doctors referrals, supposed support group, therapy, medication and hospitals, they had nothing. Their whole world had been turned upside down and they hadn't got a clue where to start. Their little girl was struggling beyond belief and they themselves felt they were drowning in the sea of mental illness. While I could see them going through this, I couldn't look after myself let alone look after them too.
And that is where "stronger together" started….
I realised that There was nothing in place to help the people supporting those with mental illness difficulties and that those are just as important as without them, we simply wouldn't cope!! As part of the bigger picture I hope to change that, but for now we can help support them while they supporting others.
What brought you to the idea of self care boxes?
I think it's important to take time out for you and take a step back from the situation so I wanted something to help people do that
What do you hope to achieve through this?
I want to help in anyway I can, but mainly to raise awareness for mental health and to make sure they are not forgotten, with more of a focus on those who support them as they are often forgotten about but without them, people like me wouldn't get through! Just so people know there is always someone out there who cares and is listening, and to try and brighten some of the dark days
How can we help you achieve your goals?
I want to raise awareness to get the word out about stronger together in case anyone thinks it could benefit them or someone they know. I do need funding to help keep this going and reach more people. So I'd be so grateful if people could keep sharing, retweeting and donating! There will be events and competitions coming up so if anyone would like to help I'd love to hear from them! Also the lovely comments have pushed me to keep going so I want to say thank you to everyone for the support so far.
If you want to donate to help Becky take this further you can via https://www.justgiving.com/crowdfunding/becky-pritchard-1
Have your mental health struggles changed your view on life and inspired you to do something new? We'd love to hear about it.

Chiefs' Andy Reid shares advice to teams interested in drafting Joe Mixon
Does Joe Mixon deserve a second chance? The Chiefs gave Tyreek Hill a job despite a checkered past, and he responded with a Pro Bowl appearance.
What's in store for Mixon remains to be seen, but Kansas City coach Andy Reid believes teams interested in Mixon should "do their homework" before deciding to draft the controversial Oklahoma running back.
"This country gives you a second chance, if you handle yourself the right way," Reid told reporters Tuesday, referring to Hill, who was drafted in the sixth round last year despite pleading guilty to felony domestic violence and battery by strangulation in an incident with his girlfriend, who was pregnant at the time.
"There's no room for errors for some of these situations. So, you have to do your homework, and make sure the kid is focused in on making sure he does the right thing. You're getting your second chance. There's not normally another chance after the first chance there."
NFL teams, including the Dolphins, have already said they won't select Mixon, who was captured on video striking a woman in the face during an altercation in 2014, in this month's NFL Draft. Yet he's still drawing interest from a number of teams and will likely find a suitor, as Hill did with the Chiefs.
"You have to do your homework," Reid said about teams interested in Mixon. "That's what we did with Tyreek [Hill], and it's worked out so far."
Mixon, 20, averaged 6.8 yards per carry on 110 carries for the Sooners last season. Although he wasn't permitted to participate in the NFL Combine, Mixon spoke with 24 teams during Oklahoma's pro day earlier this month and has since met privately with the Lions, Bengals, Saints and Browns, among others.

Forty years ago Helping Hands of Matilda was formed, and Corrie Byker was there.
Byker, pictured left, has been part of the organization since day one, and still attends the monthly meeting of the seniors group regularly.
She was among the 75 members and guests who were at the December 5 holiday luncheon, which featured a special turkey dinner catered by the Iroquois Legion Ladies, followed by an afternoon of entertainment.
Byker recalled the first time the Helping Hands met. "We started in the fall of '72. Mrs. Leverdink was the president and I was part of the kitchen committee that looked after the meal and refreshments."
The group has changed over the years, but it remains today a regular place for seniors to gather and socialize. "I have always liked it," said Byker.
"When it first started it mas more about making crafts that we sold," said Byker, recalling that they later met and invited guest speakers to help the group learn about things they were interested in.
The group has always recognized members anniversaries and birthdays, and now enjoys a potluck meal at their monthly meetings, which take place the first Wednesday of every month.
"The potluck works really good," says Byker.
Anyone over 50 is welcome to attend any meeting. They can join in the meal by bringing something to share with the other club members.

House in Sligo, coastal family home in the west of Ireland. We're looking for a family friendly home with outdoor space for a couple of weeks this summer.
We would love to travel anytime in the summer of 2019!
Our's is a large, yet cosy family home, set on an acre overlooking the Atlantic. It would be the perfect home for a family or group of friends who are looking to explore this area along the "The Wild Atlantic Way". This rural location is a friendly neighbourhood, and everyone within our local farming community are very welcoming and helpful.
Our home has recently been rebuilt and discreetly extended and has all modern necessities. The Glass House has double doors opening onto the patio and back garden. We have an organic vegetable patch and fruit bushes in the garden, as well as many exciting swings and in the trees and plenty of exciting adventures awaiting all children, young and old! We've a friendly outdoor cat whom our neighbours will feed.
As a very keen "Waterfamily" we regularly surf, swim, kayak, collect seaweed for cooking and enjoy long walks along our safe sandy strands & rocky shorelines. The beaches are closeby, there is a village a few miles away and a wonderful thatched Beach Bar serving delicious food and hosting live traditional music in the evenings.
In addition to her association with the playwright and poet WB Yeats, great Megalithic sites at Carrowmore Tombs and her well-loved mountains Ben Bulben and Knocknarae, Sligo is fast becoming "The Adventure Capital of Ireland", so there's bound to be something here for all tastes and desires! Sligo will host The Fleadh Cheoil in August 2015, a wonderful festival of traditional irish music, dance and more, it really is a particularly exciting time to be in Sligo in the summertime.
We're a 25minute drive from Sligo City, 45minute drive from Knock Airport and 2.5 hours from Dublin.
We look forward to exchanging adventures with you !

I'm not sad. I'm angry with Rett Syndrome. We are in a very strange and confusing place as parents – not just parents of a beautiful child with special needs; not just parents of a brave girl with Rett Syndrome; but parents of a little girl who struggles through more than any little girl should have to.
Rett Syndrome has clearly progressed for Magnolia. The battle has been nonstop and the stakes seem to keep getting higher. When I look at other families with individuals with Rett Syndrome, I wonder if their lives are the same. Are the stakes getting higher for them or has Rett Syndrome plateaued? It's hard to know looking at social media. It seems to be individuals with Rett are either in the hospital and very sick or seemingly fine living their daily lives. I know we mostly post our adventures and positive moments. Right now, we squeeze in those moments between all of the other chaos that is happening with her.
For us, we seem to be in a strange place. Magnolia isn't in the hospital, but life for her isn't fine. She has been having a plethora of GI issues, her caloric intake is minimal and she most likely is getting a feeding tube in her belly (called a G tube). On top of it all, her seizures that went away for a couple of months are back. She is dealing with it all. She has been more emotional, frustrated and angry throughout a lot of the day; and it's completely warranted. Life for her right now isn't great. For the last month, on a weekly basis, we have had to evaluate whether or not we should take her into the Emergency Room. We have had multiple conversations on what her threshold is. We have talked to all of her doctors to figure out what the criteria is for each issue that is happening. Because they are all big issues. Seizures, how many until ER? Or how many days can she go without eating? What if she is still having a couple of Pediasures each day? How long without drinking anything? What if she is just screaming in pain? So many conversations for so many issues. It may seem like a no brainer to take her into the hospital should any of these issues arise in your typical child. But this is a daily occurrence. It hasn'treally felt like an emergency. So we make doctor's appointments, suffer through the weeks leading up to those appointments. We live in the unknown until we see a doctor, and even then its a guessing game with the doctor of what to do.
I'm angry that we spend our lives maintaining and managing her care and pain because life is that difficult for her. I'm angry that I have a bag packed with clothes and supplies for her and I, just in case. I'm angry that I haven't been able to look into camps for her because everyday has been difficult. I'm angry that with every hill we climb, there's another hill on the other side. It's not fair for her. At some point, there has to be a break for her. OK. I'm a little bit sad about it too.
Trying to live our best lives in the hardest of moments.
A couple of weeks ago, we took a little weekend trip to the desert because nothing says relaxing like 109 degree temperatures. It started out auspiciously with Maggie unable to calm her body, communicate her wants or regulate her body temperature. The last one was a new discovery. She's always run a little hot, but so have I. So, whenever I'm warm, I know she's miserable. We learned the hard way that heat is a real problem watching her face get flushed, her grow lethargic, unwilling to eat much, even her favorite foods, and even, on occasion, vomit. Not fun. She's also taken to biting and hitting in frustration. Mostly me. But that doesn't make it better. I'm constantly terrified that she's going to bite someone else, mostly because she doesn't just bite, she locks her jaw and you have to pry open her mouth with your hand.
But while the first day was brutal, the next two days were a blast.
We spent two straight days jockeying between swimming and air conditioning which, from what I can tell, is really all there is to do in Palm Springs.
We went with our favorite travel companions, Leslie, Eric and their 2 year old son, Ollie. They're just doing what friends do by dragging us along on these adventures, and it's appreciated more than we can show while we're with them. Ollie, just learning to speak himself, is great with Maggie and wants to play with her regardless of how many times she rebuffs his efforts. And Leslie and Eric have always been quick to get down to Maggie's level, give her a good hard squeeze to give her some sensory input, and speak a little slower than normal so Maggie can follow along. It shows that they've read up on Rett and are doing everything they can for her. And it's obvious how much Maggie appreciates it. No matter how overheated she may be.
For the longest time it has felt like we were losing the battle with hand function. Stopping any more loss of functions for Maggie has been yet another one of our primary goals, since the diagnosis. We spend most of everyday, watching what she can do, discussing what we saw that day and figuring out ways to help her keep functionality.
See, her constant arm flapping and hand wringing gets in the way of her using her hands as appropriately as she would want. We keep getting reminded that she's cognitively intact, not just by doctors, but by her as well. We know she understands everything, just her body doesn't always listen to her brain.
When we went to see the neurologist he had told us that eventually most things will stabilize and even start to improve if we work hard enough. While that's been true of a lot of things, her hands haven't quite made it there.
It seems like recently she had stopped holding things in her right hand and would drop whatever she could grab with it. She's been wringing it incessantly for a number of months now, so maybe it just hurts. But this is a battle we really don't want to lose. Things just get more difficult when you can't use a hand. Other than weight bearing exercises and any fine motor activity that she will actually let us force her to do, there's not much we can do to help, and there are only so many pushups you can make a 3 year old do. The answer is 64 if you were curious.
As Jenny mentioned in her post, I've been trying my hardest to invent something that could help her. Splints, velcro, weights. Anything I could think of. When we finally got a prescribed splint, I thought that was going to be the answer. But it limits her use so severely, I've been afraid to even use it. The whole fight has been frustrating to say the least. Right now she hits herself in the face constantly, and bracing her arm has its own limitations. It's neurological – her brain is just stuck in this pattern and no doctors or therapists have been able to crack the code yet.
Then this weekend happened.
She has not been able to use two hands together like this since she was about a year and half old. And she was doing it consistently this weekend. It's hard to express how awesome this is. A majority of the girls with Rett have limited, if any, functional hand use. It seemed Maggie was headed that way. And she still might be. But, at least for this weekend, she decided to head in the other direction.
Hopefully this means we've stabilized and will start to see some improvement now. But if not; if it's going to continue to fall off, I'll have this little nugget of wisdom from my dad to fall back on – "if that's the worst of it, it's not that bad." For a man who can only use one of his hands and probably voted for Bob Dole, another man who could only use one hand, it's more of his typically sage advice.
Every time I feel like we're losing a battle, I'm reminded of George Washington, who, though, he lost more battles than he won, always lived to fight another battle. And, just like him, we're going to win this war.
This trip to Houston was a little different than the last one. At the last one we were nervous and everything turned out as good as could be expected. This time we weren't nervous and we didn't feel like it turned out quite as well.
We didn't get to see her GI doctor since she was stuck in other appointments and we ran out of time and Maggie ran out of patience. We met with the Phys Med doctors who thought she looked great and had no new recommendations for us. In some ways that's quite an accomplishment. For a long time every doctor we would see would have alaundry list of things for us to do. Now, it's surprising if they suggest something we're not already doing.
We also met with her neurologist who is pleased with how she's doing and while he thinks she's maybe even a little better than she was, reminds us we are still at significant risk. He reminds us the trials are going well but he can't really talk about them lest he spoil the research. He mentions a few other potential treatments that are coming down the line. He mentions he's moving closer to us. All good stuff. But the idea that we're not out of the woods yet is no fun.
I think a hard part for people to understand is the constant sense of impending tragedy. She's doing great now – she's running and jumping. She's swimming like a champion. Not a champion of swimming, mind you – she doesn't float and hasn't quite figured out you're not supposed to drink the water – but she's making great strides. She's gaining wait and muscle. She's getting stronger. She's even vocalizing more now. She knows her abcs and 123s. She can't pronounce all the letters and numbers. But she knows them. It's obvious.
But at any minute something could change. She could get pneumonia and forget how to walk while she's laid up. She could get a seizure and forget how to hold things. That's Rett's dirty secret – we constantly have to be on the ready. That's ok, Rett. I'm ready. En Garde.
After a really great and relaxing week spent with family, swimming every day and getting eaten alive by mosquitos, we're going back to Texas Children's Hospital in Houston today – the mecca for Rett research. We're going to see Maggie's neurologist and gi doctor as well as meet a new physical medical rehabilitation doctor. It'll be good to check in with them. My parents are coming as well. It'll be great to spend time with them.
My feelings on this trip are a world apart from where they were 6 months ago after just getting the diagnosis, though.
Then I was determined to go and get some answers. My parents came for much needed emotional support.
Today, I'm not so sure why we need to go. My parents are coming, really just to visit the children's museum again – we all really liked it when we were here last. They also really liked the restaurant at the aquarium. We're all excited to go back. But the doctors? I could go either way.
When we met with the doctors six months ago we were positive we would need to come back every 6 months. We would need to check in with the doctors. I think that was because in my lifetime doctors have always been the people who prescribe medicine to fix what ails me. My thoughts 6 months ago were, "maybe when we come back they'll say, "oh, have you tried this drug? It makes everything better."" Or maybe I was just scared and thought that checking in again would make sure everything stayed on track.
In some ways it probably has. We've worked hard to keep Maggie progressing, allow her to retain her skills, and help her to build on them. I think we both hope the doctors will be impressed. I don't know why that's a consideration, but I think if we go in and they think she's gotten better, we'll feel like our hard work is really paying off, beyond in the small victories we see every day.
I guess it'll be nice to get some confirmation that we're doing the right things, that she's progressing nicely and that we just have to stay the course. It'd be nicer, though, if there was something they could do to help her.
It's been a regular struggle to get her to play with other kids. When she was younger, before the regression, she would play near them, but not necessarily with them. And when she started tossing sand out of the sand table, they'd typically find something else to do, lest they be sandblasted. Don't get me wrong, she loves other kids. She loves watching them play. The apraxia just gets in the way of her actually being able to do what they're doing.
I mean we can make it look like she's doing what they're doing:
But that's just an illusion. Until the other day, I had never seen her appropriately play with another human.
Then I watched her participate in a full on screaming competition. One girl screams, the other screams louder and so on and so forth. In public it's probably not that appropriate, but regardless, I couldn't be prouder – for so many reasons – she's vocalizing, appropriately, she's communicating, she's listening and responding. All of it, simply great.
And then, visiting Texas, her cousins and her cousin's cousins, who are so good to her, wouldn't let her get away with playing alone. She swung on that tire swing for hours. Even when we'd take her off, she'd hit the tire again, telling us in her way "I'm not done with this one just yet".
Even as some cousins would get up and go do other things, she would swing, smiling and waiting, as other cousins came to replace the ones that left. The constant flow of kids made her so happy. And her happiness is our happiness.
Rett Syndrome has changed my life in so many ways. Before the diagnosis, I was working at Jash, the digital studio that Sarah Silverman, Michael Cera, Reggie Watts, Tim and Eric started along with a bunch of other people I've always respected and at various times believed it to be my dream job. I was working with people I liked and respected, running a digital studio, making comedy videos. It had everything. After the diagnosis, I couldn't imagine anything less important. (No offense to anyone from Jash who might be reading this)
I had called my friend who started a company called Omaze, which runs sweepstakes for once in a lifetime experiences to raise money for charity, thinking I could get something going for one of the Rett charities. A week later he called to see if I wanted to work for him. It fell into my lap and it's been a great reprieve, in addition to being a perfect fit considering my experience and my hope for what my next steps would be.
He's also been very generous with the access to the company resources. And after 5 weeks of being there this is the product of that generosity: youtube.com/epiclloyd
Lloyd is a funny comedian who is well known for his Youtube channel Epic Lloyd and better known for his part in Epic Rap Battles (youtube.com/erb). He was among those that were asked to come to the White House to talk/meet with the President about Social Media. He is helping us bring awareness to Rett Syndrome in a very creative and fun way. Since his audience is young and most likely doesn't know much about Rett, this is going to be very helpful.
It should be noted that this is not suitable for work. But in one fell swoop 1 million more people now know about Rett. And if many of them take part in this auction, we'll be able to raise a good sum of money for the charity. Lloyd Ahlquist, you are an impressive human and while I said this in every email, it can't be said enough how grateful I am for your efforts on this. Thank you Lloyd, for you time, your talent and your willingness to bring awareness to our cause. Thank you so very much.
When Maggie was first born, our friends Dan and Rachel visited regularly, and made it a point to be a part of Maggie's life; and Maggie (and the two of us) loves them for it. Her OT still talks about the time that Rachel picked Maggie up and how excited Maggie was to see Rachel. They just do a lot to make her laugh and keep us positive.
They have a son, Abe, who just turned 1 and in lieu of presents they asked everyone to donate to Rett. I mean, maybe it's because their house is collapsing under the weight of all of Maggie's hand-me-downs, but either way, we're very grateful to have the friends we do have. It makes this much easier. And to everyone who's following along and reading up and being a part of this, you deserve special thanks as well. I just started with the Levy's because I happened to have this awesome picture where everyone looks great and Abe is the exact appropriate level of confused.
Maggie has days where everything seems to be connecting. She climbs better, she uses her hands more and she communicates more. Then there are other days that nothing seems to connect. This is the Apraxia part of Rett. We never know what each day will bring but we are learning to enjoy each day just as they are.
Today she did some amazing things. For her, at least. And that makes it amazing for us.
1) She opened her playroom by herself – pulling the handle until the door popped open and pushing the door herself. The amount of strength and dexterity required for this makes it that much more impressive for a little girl fighting all the things she's fighting to accomplish.
2)She scooted out of her car seat, climbed up on the car's factory installed seat, turned herself around and pushed herself out of the car. We've been working on this for what seems like ever and she finally did it. It was only once so far, but man, does it feel good to have months of work finally pay off
3)She stepped up onto the step stool and sat down on the potty herself. Maybe this is something she's been able to do for awhile, but we never thought to ask and she never thought to try. Or, maybe today was the day she figured it out. Either way, we'll take it.
Amazing stuff, Maggie. When you learn to read, and you read this, know that not a single little thing goes unnoticed.

It's known that a plant produces therapeutically valuable chemicals in its battle for survival, but how does this occur? A plant's existence is rooted in its ability to combine light, water, soil nutrients, benefits from symbiotic bacteria, and CO2 to create essential components for life: plant primary metabolites. These primary metabolites constitute an array of enzymes, hormones, and chemical building blocks. In its struggle for survival, the plant then uses these chemicals to produce an auxiliary line of compounds: plant secondary metabolites (PSM). While these aren't essential for existence, they are useful in protection against microbes, herbivores, and extreme conditions. As mentioned in an earlier blog, PSMs and their derivatives constitute many of today's vitamins and nutraceuticals. Today, we will look closely at the biosynthesis of phytocannabinoids.
The creation of these compounds all begin with starting molecules, which undergo one of two enzymatic pathways—MEP Pathway or Mevalonate Pathway—to yield isoprenoid/terpenoid precursors(1). The terpenoids exhibit pluripotency in that they can subsequently be transformed into any terpene-based PSM depending on which enzyme selects them—a process dictated by survival demands.
The MEP Pathway begins with one molecule each of pyruvic acid and G3P (glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate)(1) (Figure 1). The Mevalonate Pathway, however, begins with just two molecules of acetyl-CoA (Figure 1). While both the MEP and Mevalonate Pathways start off with different chemicals and encounter different enzymes along their respective cascades, the pathways both yield terpenoid isomers DMAPP (dimethylallyl pyrophosphate) and IPP (isopentyl pyrophosphate). IPP and DMAPP can then begin polymerizing with each other, namely via the alkenyl double bonds, to form longer chain terpenoids, such as GPP (geranyl pyrophosphate).
Figure 1. MEP and Mevalonate Pathways. George et. Al (2015)
GPP is a precursor to many vitamins, antioxidants, terpenes, and plant hormones. It also provides the isoprene chain for the synthesis of cannabinoid CBGA (cannabigerolic acid). In this particular instance a product of the terpenoid pathway meets an intermediate of the polyketide pathway (Figure 2) to create an entire class of compounds beneficial for the cannabis plant's existence(2).
Figure 2. Polyketide Pathway and Eventual CBGA Synthesis. Stout et. Al (2012)(3)
It's quite an elegant concert of chemical reactions which come together to create the primary phytocannabinoid CBGA (cannabigerolic acid).
Environmental conditions and plant maturation then dictate the fate of CBGA. CBGA can be transformed into CBDA (cannabidiolic acid) by CBDA synthase or Δ9-THCA (delta-9-tetrahydrocannabinolic acid) by THCA synthase. In planta, these phytocannabinoids exist in their [carboxylic] acid form but can be decarboxylated upon heating or further processing(3).
This is just one fruit of the isoprenoid/terpenoid pathway; it can also spawn fragrance terpenes, heme, retinol-based vitamins, sterol-based vitamins, and other plant hormones.

Penrith centre Tyrone Peachey has declared he wants out of his deal with the Gold Coast Titans.
Peachey signed a three-year deal with the Gold Coast earlier this season but has now instructed his management that he wants to stay at the Panthers.
"I love this club. They gave me this opportunity to play consistent first grade and I wouldn't have left if I didn't have to," Peachey told NRL.com this afternoon.
"We just built in Penrith so my missus is really comfortable at our new place. I spoke to my manager and told him what I wanted to happen."
It is unknown if the Panthers have the salary cap space to keep Peachey.
