RIM BlackBerry Torch 9860 smartphone
BlackBerry Torch 9860 review: A touchscreen-only BlackBerry? Only for casual users
- Well built, great screen
- Excellent Web browsing and interface
- Touchscreen typing is imperfect
- Hidden volume buttons
Bottom Line
The BlackBerry Torch 9860 is a touchscreen-only smartphone like the iPhone or any generic Android. Given that the BlackBerry calling card has always been excellent physical keyboards (and excellent mail) we're a bit confused as to the Torch's purpose. The phone itself is built to a high standard and is powerful, but its imperfect touchscreen keyboard makes the Torch inferior to its tactile counterparts.
The BlackBerry Torch 9860 is a BlackBerry, but it doesn't have a physical keyboard. It's a BlackBerry for the iPhone and Android generation, but we think the BlackBerry faithful will prefer the real thing. The Torch's best chance is with casual BlackBerry users that like the interface and ecosystem, but aren't going to spend all day on email or BlackBerry Messenger.
BlackBerry Torch 9860: Design
The BlackBerry Torch 9860 is, like most touchscreen smartphones these days, almost entirely screen. There are five tactile function keys arranged along the screen's lower edge — Send, Menu, Escape and Power — but that's almost it. We say almost because there are volume and play/pause buttons on the phone's right side, but they're surprisingly small and quite hard to press — unless you were looking for them, we don't think you'd notice they were there.
Between the four buttons on the Torch 9860's front is an excellent optical trackpad. It's quite small, at around 7mm square, but is highly responsive and works very effectively for browsing the Web. It feels much easier to use than BlackBerry's superseded trackball design, and the default sensitivity is excellent.
The screen of the BlackBerry Torch 9860 is a 3.7in LCD display with a 800x480pixel resolution, giving it a pixel density of 253ppi — not as high as the iPhone 4's 960x640pixel 326ppi, but still detailed and smooth-looking. It's very bright and colourful and suits the vibrant BlackBerry OS 7. The screen size is a bit bigger than the 3.5in-display Phone 4 it competes with, and this makes the Torch 9860 superior for Web browsing and reading long emails.
BlackBerry Torch 9860: Specifications and performance
The BlackBerry Torch 9860 is, as smartphones go, reasonably powerful. It's got a 1.2GHz processor and 768MB of RAM, which makes general operation almost instantaneous and more intensive tasks like Web browsing still impressively fast.
The combination of fast processor and plenty of RAM works well in tandem with the Torch 9860's Liquid Graphics GPU to handle 3D graphics — gaming is surprisingly good-looking on the Torch 9860, with only a few short instances of jittery gameplay when we tested out some 3D apps.
HD video recording through the phone's camera is also supported — the 5MP rear camera has an LED flash and handles 720p video recording with ease. You'll need to purchase a microSD card if you want to use more than the 4GB of internal memory in the BlackBerry Torch 9860 — thankfully flash memory is cheap as chips these days (pardon the pun).
The overall impression we got of the BlackBerry Torch 9860's hardware was that it was excellent, easily equalling the vast majority of its Android smartphone competitors. We didn't encounter any long pauses or freezes at all when we used the phone's basic functions &38212; this is a testament to both the phone's power and the refinement of the latest BlackBerry OS version.

HP OfficeJet Pro 8730
A smarter way to print for busy small business owners, combining speedy printing with scanning and copying, making it easier to produce high quality documents and images at a touch of a button.
Andrew Grant
HP OfficeJet Pro 8730
I've had a multifunction printer in the office going on 10 years now. It was a neat bit of kit back in the day -- print, copy, scan, fax -- when printing over WiFi felt a bit like magic. It's seen better days though and an upgrade's well overdue. This HP OfficeJet Pro 8730 looks like it ticks all the same boxes: print, copy, scan, and fax. (Really? Does anyone fax anything any more? I guess it's good to know the facility's there, just in case.) Printing over WiFi is more-or- less standard these days.

As a freelance writer who is always on the go, I like my technology to be both efficient and effective so I can do my job well. The HP OfficeJet Pro 8730 Inkjet Printer ticks all the boxes in terms of form factor, performance and user interface.

I'd happily recommend this touchscreen laptop and Windows 10 as a great way to get serious work done at a desk or on the road.

Ultimately, I think the Windows 10 environment is excellent for me as it caters for so many different uses. The inclusion of the Xbox app is also great for when you need some downtime too!
Mark Escubio
Windows 10 / Lenovo Yoga 910
For me, the Xbox Play Anywhere is a great new feature as it allows you to play your current Xbox games with higher resolutions and better graphics without forking out extra cash for another copy. Although available titles are still scarce, but I'm sure it will grow in time.

text: Washington: Consuming choline, found in eggs and meat, during pregnancy may protect an infant from stress-related illness, including mental disturbances and hypertension, later in life, says a study. Nutrition scientists and obstetricians at Universities of Cornell and Rochester Medical Center found that higher-than-normal amounts of choline in the diet during pregnancy changed epigenetic markers in the foetus. Epigenetic markers are modifications on our DNA that tell our genes to switch on or off, to go gangbusters or keep a low profile. While these markers don't change our genes, they make a permanent imprint by dictating their fate: If a gene is not expressed - turned on - it's as if it didn't exist, the FASEEB journal reported. The finding became particularly exciting when researchers discovered that the affected markers were those that regulated the hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal or HPA axis, which controls virtually all hormone activity in the body, including the production of the hormone cortisol that reflects our response to stress and regulates our metabolism, among other things. More choline in the mother's diet led to a more stable HPA axis and consequently less cortisol in the foetus. As with many aspects of our health, stability is a very good thing, according to a Rochester statement. Past research has shown that early exposure to high levels of cortisol, often a result of a mother's anxiety or depression, can increase a baby's lifelong risk of stress-related and metabolic disorders. "The study is important because it shows that a relatively simple nutrient can have significant effects in prenatal life, and that these effects likely continue to have a long-lasting influence on adult life," said Eva K. Pressman, study author and director of the high-risk pregnancy program at Rochester Medical Centre. "While our results won't change practice at this point, the idea that maternal choline intake could essentially change foetal genetic expression into adulthood is quite novel," said Pressman. Pressman, who advises pregnant women every day, says choline isn't something people think a lot about because it is already present in many things we eat and there is usually no concern of choline deficiency.

Trichy Tiruchirapalli, called Tiruchi or Trichy in Short, was built by the Nayak rulers of Madurai around a rock fort. Tiruchi is on the banks of the Kaveri river and is famous for the Ranganatha Temple at Srirangam, 10 km away. The Rock fort is the center of the city and is a remarkable structure. About 83 meters high, the fort dominates the landscape. The Uchi pillaiyer Temple dedicated to lord Vinayaka or Ganesha. A total of 344 steps, cut into the rock lead to the temple. There is also the Tyaumanaswami Temple of lord Shiva half way up the hillock. There are also two cave temples in the fort with sculptures dating back to the 6th and 7th centuries. The Sri Jambukeswara Temple, at Tiruvankkaikaval, Srirangam is an island in the Kaveri river, north of Tiruchirapalli. The Ranganathaswami Temple here, built around 13th-14th centuries has 21 towers and stone pillars covered with fine carvings. Thrissur ( earlier Trichur), the name derived from 'Tiru-Shiva-Perur' (the town with the name of Lord Shiva) is dubbed the cultural capital of Kerala. The town is built around a hillock. Periyar, Chalakudy, Karuvannur and Bharatha Puzha are the major rivers in the district. The district has a forest area of 103619 hector. Thrissur's emergence to town and cultural centre is attributed to Raja Rama Varma, popularly known as 'Sakthan Thampuran', who was the king of Cochin in 1790. In different periods, Thrissur had fallen to Portuguese, Dutch and British forces.
Tiruchi is a thriving commercial
centre in Tamil nadu, situated on the banks of the river
Cauvery. The rock fort is a well known landmark of the city. It
is also famous for artificial diamonds, cigars, handloom cloth,
glass bangles and wooden and clay toys. (Trichy, Tiruchy,
Thiruchi, Tiruchirapalli)
The most famous
land mark of this bustling town is the Rockfort Temple, a
spectacular monument perched on a massive rocky out crop which rises
abruptly from the plain to tower over the old city. It is reached by
the flight of steep steps cut into the rock and from its summit you
get a fantastic view of the town plus its other main landmark, Sri
Ranganatha Swami Temple ( Srirangam). Shrouded in a haze of coconut
palms away to the north, Sri Ranganatha Swami temple is one of
the largest and most interesting temple complexes in India, built on
an island in the middle of Cauvery river and covering a staggering
2.5 square kilometers. There is also another huge temple complex
near by the Jambukeshwara Temple. Karur (74 km) : Karur is a place where handloom industry is one of the main occupations of the people. The bed linen and floor spreads are very famous all over India. Karaikudi (103 km) : Karaikudi and the neighbouring towns hold excellent examples of Chettinadu architecture. The people of Chettinadu were traders and financiers who valued high living and maintained old traditions. They built sprawling houses which today stand testimony to their taste and love for beautiful things. Kumbakonam (92 km) : Kumbakonam is well known for its brassware. Pugalur (87 km) : Pugalur is the paper-town, housing the Tamilnadu Newsprint and Papers Limited, a major paper - manufacturing company of south India.

Possibilities at D97
Opinion: Editorials
Perhaps we are reading too much into a press release from a school district. But we are encouraged by the tone and the word selection in District 97's update on the lengthy contract negotiations taking place between school officials and the teachers union.
Normally teacher contracts are "settled." Both sides admit to "giving a little" in order "to get it done." You know, "settled." Like a bad divorce. A truce in battle. Clearly the tradition is that teacher contract talks are business pacts. And that's fine except that it doesn't allow for the powerful truth that teacher contracts (which should also be seen as school board contracts) are central to how we go about educating our children.
So the District 97 release last week talks about "the creation" of a new contract. While it expresses hope that the creation is nearly ready for birthing, the release also notes "we will not compromise the long-term success of this critical endeavor for the sake of expediency." Good for them.
But beyond positive words this is also the moment for clear action. The two negotiating teams released a memorandum announcing they'd agreed to work together over the next two school years to forge a model on how to link student academic growth to evaluating the performance of teachers. The first year will be spent formulating a model. The second year will be testing that model, and likely tweaking that model, to find out if a genuine connection between those two complex topics has been made.
This has the potential to be huge. But only if it is linked to a funding source that allows our best teachers to be rewarded for excellence. That source ought to be the end of steps and lanes, the retro concept that hands out pay raises – beyond the negotiated pay raises – simply for years of service and for accumulating added education credits that are completely unproven as a measure of improved teaching.
That the discussions have come this far suggests a good will between the parties. Push on negotiators into the possibilities that exist in public education if we are authentically open to them.

As a point of reference it might be worth noting that after the last D97 contract negotiation, then BOE member Peter Barber stood up and gave what can only be described as an orgasmic speech about how wonderful the teachers are. If the current negotiations even approach a situation in which there are different perspectives and teachers are asked to make any significant changes then that is progress. Sad that we expect so little even though we pay so much.

I believe that the optimism shown in this editorial is warranted. The caution and restraint that has been shown, along with a realistic time frame for a first trial attempt to link salaries with productivity shows me that such a thing may be possible. I have no expectation that any such first attempt can be completely satisfactory, because such change cannot take place in major leaps. However, a series of corrective changes over time can work wonders. Maybe District 200 will follow suit.

No more referendums. Increase class sizes to 25. Shutter the schools that don't have the enrollment to justify being open and for goodness sakes don't pay your PhD art teachers $100K. Also, that rubber stamp Master's at National Louis should be disallowed.
Fool Me Once from OP
Posted: August 21st, 2014 4:47 AM
After the most recent D97 referendum debacle where much was promised "for the sake of the children", but little or nothing has been delivered, I have no belief that any real change will happen at D97. I predict this lengthy "negotiation" is a smokescreen for the next tax hike they plan to suggest. Wait for it....

As a Marine Corps veteran, I would like to point out that there's more to military prowess than firepower. There's no statistic for leadership, no metric for the stuff they pump into you at Parris Island.
But firepower matters ... a lot.
In a world rife with global conflicts, the ability to project power and wield that power decisively is an important national security and diplomatic asset.
The folks at Global Firepower have figured out a way to rank who has the most powerful military.
They measure 40 different stats about a country, including number of aircraft carriers, available manpower, and labor force, to produce a "Power Index," in which lower numbers equal more firepower.
Note: Nuclear capabilities are not included in this calculation — but Russia and the United States far outpace the rest of the world in nuclear armament, with 8,500 and 7,700 nuclear weapons, respectively.

Moving on With Patents and Open-Source Software
I'm starting to wonder if we in the open-source community need a grass-roots effort to address patent and license issues. For the moment, let's just call it "usethesystem.org." Its purpose will be to help our open-source community put aside a resistance to patents and some of the misperceptions that are preventing the community from defending itself with a strong patent portfolio. We have the opportunity to thrive by embracing patents and highly promising means to do so, if we accept them as a fundamental part of our system.
I understand the open-source software community's frustration with the existing software patent infrastructure; like many of you, I engage in discussions and negotiations around patents regularly. But denouncing the patent system and refusing to file for patents isn't the answer, and avoiding the controversy won't make the need for patents go away. It doesn't change the legal system, remove the threat to your intellectual property or prevent others from continuing to file for patents. On the contrary, refusing to resolve the issue by addressing it head-on simply enables other interests, also known as your competitors, to keep on collecting the patents that will put them in the driver's seat with a greater ability to put their own interests ahead of yours -- and in some cases, the community's.

I got this foundation on Christmas day last year. I don't use it every day, but it does cover up my pimples! I have both an oily and dry face, and my skin does not react to it. I am going to try the Invisible coverage foundation next to see if there is any dirrerence!

I didn't like this product at all. I think it's not suitable for dry skin. it accentuates dry patches. will not be repurchasing

I love this product! I have been using it for 2 years. The product is not heavy and creates a natural finish.

This is a pretty nice Cream-To-Powder foundation, but it's also my first Cream-To-Powder foundation as well. I have been using this foundation on and off quite a bit. I always use a liquid foundation but decided to try something new. It's a light to medium coverage foundation.
- Offer my shade for my skin tone (which is hard to find, bought the shade "Spice Almond")
- Doesn't make my face oily (may be because I have normal skin, neither dry or oily)
- Stays on for a good amount of time (Applied at 8:00am and now it is 4:00pm and still looks great)
- Doesn't set into fine lines
- Smells bad (goes away after applied)
So all in all, I would recommend this product and buy it again. I still prefer my liquid foundation but this foundation does the job.

I got this on offer in shade "creamy natural". Packaging not bad. It is very greasy however, and may be better applied with finger tips and then "smoothed over" with the sponge provided, slightly dampened. Otherwise, I found that after an hour, my face just looked greasy!

Ugh this is horrible! I bought this on offer as I heard cream to powder foundations were more suited to oily skin. Definately not this one! I bought this in the lightest colour ivory, which was miles to dark for my pale skin and made me look orange. It highlighted pores, felt greasy and looked greasy too. Within half hour my face was that shiny and oily to the point where I wiped it off while I was out... Not impressed at all! Thank god I bought this while it was on offer!!

I bought this product hoping to find something simple for under my eyes so that I'd no longer need powder.
-It goes on smoothly and evenly
-Lasts for about 8 hours but only if it's set with powder
-Has an oily feel and look to it
-Transfers easily
-Sets in creases or wrinkles
-Caused me to break out a bit
-It's a medium coverage but was a bit too light for my dark circles which aren't that dark
-Needed to be set with a powder
-A bit too yellow even though I ordered the lightest
Overall I was disappointed with this foundation and will continue to search for a liquid to powder that's waterproof and works.

I bought this on offer at �5.25, and on first use I wasn't sure. I ordered in Nude, and it's a touch too dark for my fair skin. First application was without primer, and I didn't set it with powder. It was lovely coverage, but quite shiny.
I decided to give it another go, and applied light moisturiser (as it's drying), then primer, then the foundation with a foundation brush, and lastly powder to set. I LOVE IT.
It now lasts all day, it gives me full coverage, a nice dewy look and I'll be ordering again when it's on offer again as it will only last me, a heavy user, about a month. It's normally �12.50, and with a wage I would buy full price no probs, it's much nicer than the Bobbi Brown and Elizabeth Arden cream-to-powders I have used before.

I have been using this for about two months now and it is entirely possible it is HG for me (though I've said that before, so I'm still waiting for the other shoe to drop).
I usually use powder foundation (Palladio) but am always looking for a cream-to-powder to give my skin less of a dull finish than the straight powder does.
This is the first Avon product I've ever tried, and I just guessed when I ordered the shade online. I am usually second from the lightest in Revlon, so I did the same here and luckily, it worked out. The color leans to the yellow side, just slightly, and matches my skin very well. It may be a perfect match, really.
The finish is natural, and definitely not matte; it's actually quite dewy. The dewiness can make it look a little bit too "sweaty" in the summer, but it looks really nice when it's not so hot out.
The reason I'm not entirely sure the shade is a perfect match is because the foundation blends so well and so little is needed that it's sort of hard to see the color at all once you've put it on (a good thing). Coverage is light to medium - my freckles still show, yay! It leaves my skin looking like skin, and feels very light on. I don't apply powder to set, but I do wear a powder bronzer over the top. Wait a few minutes to apply a bronzer if you're going to do the same, so the makeup can set a bit.
I have worn this foundation starting at 5:30 in the morning all the way until 9:30 at night without it fading, melting or oxidizing. I am really pleased with the lasting power of this; very little touch up needed, just a blotting sheet on my oily spots (chin). I also love the built in SPF, even if 15 is a little on the low side (it's better than nothing).
The packaging is bulky but looks nice. The cost - at $11 - is very reasonable, especially for the high-end quality of this foundation. Plus there are often sales or coupon codes to get it for less.
Provided it continues to perform so well and doesn't make my skin break out, I will continue to use this, and probably purchase more from Avon in the future based on this experience.

This foundation is pretty average. It gives a light coverage, not quite enough for my usual preference but still ok for days when I want a more natural look. The finish is a bit dewy, also not my usual preference but I can live with it. I think it's quite thick for the light coverage it provides so its easy to put on too much foundation if you're trying to increase coverage. You're better off applying a light coat and staying with light coverage. The color selection is very good but tough to get an exact match from a catalogue if you're buying for the first time. A nice surprise about this was that I can use it under my eyes as a light concealer too, with very little creasing. If you prefer a medium to heavier matte coverage, don't go for this. But if you want a light, dewy coverage, this might be worth a try.

by Kelly DiPucchio, Ponder Goembel (Illustrator)Such are the trembling sounds of the gigantic dinosnores. Not everyone knows that the earth used to be made up of one huge supercontinent until the loud snores of the dinosaurs caused the land to quake and split!
Kelly DiPucchio's fun and boisterous take on a page out of history is brought to life in Ponder Goembel's colorful, fantastic/b>/b>
Editorial Reviews
"Puns, bouncy verse, and vibrant art combine for a fun read-aloud."School Library Journal
K-Gr 3-The dinosaurs are getting ready for bed, making all the necessary preparations: "They bathed, and brushed, and fluffed their ferns/around the dino site-/then laid their horns and spikes to rest/and kissed their eggs goodnight." Once cuddled under their various quilts and blankets, they all begin to snore. There are "bronto-booms, tricera-cries, raptor-rumbles, stego-sighs," etc. The noise becomes so raucous that it causes tumultuous seas and volcanic eruptions, and eventually the continent splits in two and drifts apart. The verse flows smoothly and contains some clever wordplay, but it is Goembel's art that steals the show. All of the necessary plates, spikes, and horns are there, but these brightly colored dinos are downright endearing as they curl up on pillows festooned with teddy bears or ducks, a claw or two thrown protectively over a sleeping baby. The detailed acrylic paintings are rich in texture but have clean, crisp lines that are pleasing to the eye. Pair this with Jane Yolen's How Do Dinosaurs Say Good Night? (Scholastic, 2000) for a dino-mite storytime.-Grace Oliff, Ann Blanche Smith School, Hillsdale, NJ Copyright 2005 Reed Business Information.
Kirkus Reviews
How did the dinosaurs get ready for bed? "They bathed and brushed and fluffed their ferns / around the dino site . . . / then laid their horns and spikes to rest / and kissed their eggs good night." Plainly modeled on the toy dinosaurs that are part of so many young readers' kit bags, huge, toothy figures in jellybean colors settle down, many clutching plushies, all about a prehistoric landscape. And were dinosaurs quiet sleepers? Not so-in fact, the cumulative effect of all those thunderous "Proto-grunts, / Diplo-hoots, / Allo-snorts / and Tyranno-toots" drove amphibians out of the water, ignited volcanoes and ultimately caused the Earth itself to crack open, sending the modern continents adrift. Along with proposing a novel theory of plate tectonics, this poke at the past will produce from children the same sort of Tyranno-toots as Jane Yolen's How Do Dinosaurs Say Good Night? (2000). (Picture book. 6-8)

Prague - Czech Republic
Trip Start
Mar 19, 2013
Trip End
Jun 30, 2013
Of course I wasn't drunk the whole time, we did mange to squeeze in a walking tour checking out Prague Castle, the largest castle in Europe, the astronomical clock which was made in the 15th century and is still running on 60%2525 of its original parts, Charles Bridge and I saw where they filmed the restaurant scene from the XXX movie.
History lesson 101 - Praha is the original Czech name. Prague is best known for crystal, absinthe, which by the way is gross in ice cream, and good beer. They're 'national dish' I guess you'd call it is roast duck with bread dumplings. I like duck but this was crap. Anyway it was interesting to learn that one point during history, there was a civil movement against the government and the parliament was stormed and the Communist Ruler and the councillors were thrown out the window. Also interesting to learn after being to Germany was that Hugo Boss supplied all the uniforms for the Nazi army.. After the fall of that regime, Hugo was ordered to pay out a compensation or whatever it's called back for their involvement. Wow. There's a weird story behind Hugo's death but while typing this on the bus whilst hungover, I can't remember... Maybe it wasn't that interesting then. We visited a church which had what looked like a shrivelled up sausage hanging from the roof and the story goes that a thief snuck into the church one night and attempted to steal a gold necklace from the Virgin Mary statue and as he put his arm out the statue caught his arm and he was found the next day with the Virgin Mary holding onto his arm. The only way the could get him out without breaking the statue was too cut his arm off. Lucky for him there was a butcher right across the road. They took this as a sign and kept his arm and hung it up in the church... Creepy! Ironically the thief joined the church after that, believing in the power of god. It's probably just a piece of old salami but it attracts all the visitors through the door and makes a good story so who am I to judge,
Pub crawl was okay, Prague actually has the biggest night club in Central Europe which we finished up at, 5 stories of shit music and an ice bar. Ah well at least I can say I've been there I guess.
All in all, Prague was a nice city however not my favourite.. Not much to see besides what I saw.
Back to sleeping on the bus so I can cure my hangover. Next stop is Vienna. I think.

To My First and Favorite Tango Teacher,
There are encounters in life that impact you in such a powerful way that you are a changed person from that moment on.
That is the case with me meeting Debbie Goodwin.
Debbie, this little note is a humble attempt to express my admiration and gratitude. You are the ultimate Teacher, each lesson that I took with you was not only about tango, it was about building character, opening sides in me I never thought existing, making me believe that I can Dance Tango. You have always been both highly professional and absolutely accessible on human level, conducting our classes in such wonderful, unassuming manner that i felt free and at ease with most difficult tasks.
Always in debt for giving me the miracle of Tango embrace, the miracle of connection with another human being.Tanya Rokhlin

Honey Bees: Genetic Labeling Decides About Blue Blood
Queen bees and worker bees share the same genome, but they are different in the chemical labeling of about 550 genes. This has been discovered by scientists of the German Cancer Research Center (Deutsches Krebsforschungszentrum, DKFZ), jointly with colleagues in Australia. The cancer researchers had chosen the bee as a study object in order to understand how development can be so different in organisms with identical sequence of genetic material. After all, healthy cells and cancer cells also share the same genome, but they develop diverging properties.
It is hard to believe that they belong to the same species: The large, long-lived queen bee is busy producing offspring throughout her lifetime. The much smaller worker bees, on the other hand, gather food, take care of the beehive, look after and feed the brood but they are infertile.
The honey bee is an extreme example of different larval development, Professor Frank Lyko explains. Lyko, a scientist at DKFZ, studies how genes are regulated by chemical labeling with methyl groups. This type of regulation is part of what are called epigenetic regulation mechanisms chemical alterations in the genetic material which do not change the sequence of DNA building blocks. This regulation mechanism enables the cell to adapt to changing environmental conditions.
Why is a cancer researchers interested in bees? Cancer cells and healthy cells have identical genomes, but they behave very differently. To a large extent this is due to differences in the methylation of genes. Queen bees and worker bees also share the same genome, despite all differences in appearance. Here, too, methyl labels could be responsible for different larval development, says Lyko.
In a beehive, it is the food alone which determines the future of the offspring: If the larvae are fed pollen, they develop into worker bees. If they are to grow into queen bees, their only food is royal jelly, which is rich in fat and protein. Australian researchers have recently imitated the effects of this power food by turning off the enzyme that labels DNA with methyl groups in bee larvae. These larvae all turned into queens completely without any royal jelly.
This was a clear indication that it is methyl labels that determine the larvaes fate by influencing the activity of particular genes. In their current work, Lyko and his team have investigated which genes turn a bee into a queen. While previous epigenetic investigations concentrated on the methyl labeling of individual genes, the Heidelberg researchers, jointly with bee experts from Australia, have been the first to compare methylation of the whole genomes of queens and workers. The bee with its small genome has served as a model for us to test the method. By now, we are able to perform such investigations also in the human genome, Frank Lyko explains.
Other than the richly methylated human genome, the bee genome carries considerably less methyl labels. In more than 550 genes the investigators found clear differences between worker bees and queen bees. These genes have often remained largely unchanged in the course of evolution, which is an indication for researchers that they fulfill important tasks of the cell.
Moreover, Lykos team identified a previously unknown mechanism by which gene methylation might influence character production. In bees, methyl labels are frequently found at so-called splice sites of genes where the blueprint for protein production is cut. If these recognition sites are made unrecognizable by chemical labels, the cell may possibly produce an altered protein with a different function. So far, the theory has been that methyl labels block gene activity at the gene switches and thus produce diverging characteristics, Frank Lyko says. But now we have found evidence to suggest that the mechanism discovered in bees may also play a role in cancer cells. This would mean that epigenetic factors in cancer not only turn genes on or off, but may also be responsible for production of proteins of a completely different kind.

The German Cancer Research Center (Deutsches Krebsforschungszentrum, DKFZ) with its more than 3,000 employees is the largest biomedical research institute in Germany. At DKFZ, more than 1,000 scientists investigate how cancer develops, identify cancer risk factors and endeavor to find new strategies to prevent people from getting cancer. They develop novel approaches to make tumor diagnosis more precise and treatment of cancer patients more successful. The staff of the Cancer Information Service (KID) offers information about the widespread disease of cancer for patients, their families, and the general public. Jointly with Heidelberg University Hospital, DKFZ has established the National Center for Tumor Diseases (NCT) Heidelberg, where promising approaches from cancer research are translated into the clinic. In the German Consortium for Translational Cancer Research (DKTK), one of six German Centers for Health Research, DKFZ maintains translational centers at seven university partnering sites. Combining excellent university hospitals with high-profile research at a Helmholtz Center is an important contribution to improving the chances of cancer patients. DKFZ is a member of the Helmholtz Association of National Research Centers, with ninety percent of its funding coming from the German Federal Ministry of Education and Research and the remaining ten percent from the State of Baden-Württemberg.

Turns out people seem to want a Female Doctor, to which I say NO. The Doctor has always been an eccentric, slightly posh, completely bad British male. This should not change, it ruins the feel of the show. And don't get me wrong, I'm not being prejudiced here! I'm all up for a black Doctor, or a gay Doctor, or any of that sort of thing, I just don't think he should become a she. For instance, how would we refer to him? He? She? It? The Maths also doesn't make sense. Think of it. If the cells changing are truly random, then there would be a 50/50 chance of... |
Before you ask, yes, I already know who Missy is. This is just two theories I have that involve her. Theory 1: Gus and the Orient Express I strongly believe that Missy was behind Gus and the events of the entire episode, "Mummy on the Orient Express". Here's why: 1. Gus was an AI, as was Seb, Missy's receptionist that she most likely created. 2. Gus wanted to study the Foretold and reverse engineer the technology keeping it "alive". And this technology could very well be similar to what Missy used on her Cybermen... |
These are my "unpopular opinions" (idea credited to Trailer Drake on YouTube) about Doctor Who 2005. Now, these might be controversial so PLEASE be respectful in the comments! Michelle Gomez is a FAR better Master than John Simm. Simm was fine, but he was too over the top for me to properly enjoy. The Weeping Angels are not that scary. They're creepy, sometimes startling as well as being creative monsters and I'm glad they exist but they aren't terrifying to me as they are to a lot of other people. |
Doctor Who has a wide range of characters. From villains, monsters, Doctor's, Master's, companions and extras, there's a wide range of men, women, homosexuals, heterosexuals, bisexuals and asexual's in this show and the expanded universe. The women are what I'm going to be talking about today. As 90% of the companions in Doctor Who are young women, you can imagine that there are many women to choose from, whether from both the classic series and revival or just one of them. And that's not even including all the "extra" women or the villain women! |
WARNING: THE FOLLOWING LIST CONTAINS MASSIVE SPOILERS FOR VARIOUS DOCTOR WHO EPISODES. Every time an actor playing the Doctor decides to leave the role, the character regenerates allowing a completely new actor to take the part. Whenever this happens, it can be difficult for the viewer to see an incarnation they've grown to love suddenly get replaced. Nevertheless, almost every Doctor's exit has given viewers a sense of hope, and has made their regeneration unique and memorable in some way. Everyone has their favourites and these are mine. Here are my picks for the... |
WARNING: THE FOLLOWING LIST CONTAINS MASSIVE SPOILERS FOR VARIOUS DOCTOR WHO EPISODES. Over the course of their run on the show, the companions in Doctor Who gradually become the closest friends of the eponymous Timelord. So naturally, when the inevitable time comes for them to leave, it can affect people in a number of ways: it can be sad, heart-warming, bitter-sweet and sometimes even downright shocking. Today I'm going to count down my ten picks for the best scenes of a companion leaving the series. |
As he sits at home all he can think about is Rose and how he left her behind.He thinks of all the good times they had together. His eyes burned as he watched another episode of their video diaries. It hurt him to just look at a photo of Rose. "I hope she is happy with where she is right now but I know she is sad. I miss her. I wonder if she missies me too?" She meant so much to the Doctor. She was his day and his night,she was the burning love in his heart. Just the thought of Rose mead the Doctor sad. |
The tears in her eyes are real tears, and still she waits for him to come back. She waits for her love and still just her and the wind on this lonely beach. The tears in her eyes threatening to spill on to her cold cheeks as she took a deep breath. You could see the pain in her eyes as she stood and looked right back into his eyes and could see the same amount of pain and maybe even more. "Tell me the first sentence you said to me when we came here for the first time ever." Rose said. "Does it really need saying?" the Doctor asked Rose. "Yes, just tell me!" Rose yelled back at... |

text: Author has written 4 stories for Teen Titans, and Red Dead Redemption. Despite my age, I am relatively new to writing fan fiction. I'm doing this mainly as an outlet for my creative energies, but in real life I have been a professional nonfiction writer. I'm not certain any of this particularly matters, but I am a 29 year old heterosexual male from Minnesota. Projects Beast Series Un-named Standalone Pet Peeves I figured I might as well use a portion of my profile to detail some of the things I find most annoying in fan fiction. This is going to be a work in progress, which I'll be adding to over time, and, although there are some general things which will be categorized as such, it'll be broken down by particular fandom. General Teen Titans (cartoon) BBTerra pairings: Come on! Terra is a damn traitor. Accept it. She tried to kill the Titans for Christ's sake! Even if you say that she was under Slade's control when she almost killed Beast Boy, the fact that she was able to then kill Slade contradicts the point. If she had the ability to resist in the end, she had the ability to resist period, but she didn't until the last moment. And then if you add Things Change to the mix, she clearly doesn't give half a fuck about Beast Boy after her revival either—she doesn't even show him the respect of acknowledging who she really is. That's not the actions of a good love interest. Jillian Jackson would be a far better love interest for Beast Boy, even if she doesn't exist within the cartoon's canon (hey, they brought Sarah Simms into TTG, there's no reason Jillian can't exist within that universe's fanon as well). Raven would be a better love interest for Beast Boy than Terra—even if Raven is often verbally and physically abusive, you still know that she actually cares about him inside. Rose Wislon (who does exist in TTG, and hence within this universe's canon) would be another good pick. Various other crack pairings work (and are often quite interesting—BBJinx is a crack pairing I've found I really like, for example). But for the love of God, Terra neither is, ever was, nor ever will be an ideal match for Beast Boy. Villainous Robin: I'm not a fan of the RobRae pairing. I am a fan of the BBRae pairing. However, I am not a fan of BBRae fics which cast Robin as a villain. For one thing, it's unnecessary—Robin has already clearly shown in the canon that he has no romantic interest in Raven whatsoever, but instead views her in the role of a trusted sibling. Also, to write Robin as a villain so directly contradicts his character that it's not even him anymore. In the original comics, Dick Grayson was kind of an asshole sometimes and could be a humongous womanizer who seemed at home with simply using women for sex and throwing them away afterward, but he was never a villain. The Dick Grayson from the cartoon does not make any great departure from that same characterization (minus the womanizing, since this was a show rated for children after all). Poor Research: I'll just put it this way: I was once reading a fic and came to a line where it referred to Robin as having the most traumatic childhood of all the Titans. At that point, I simply stopped reading, as I lost all respect for the author. If anything, Robin's childhood, albeit very traumatic, was less traumatic than the mean for the five. If you want to delve into traumatic childhoods, Beast Boy's childhood was seriously so bad that they could never even say anything about it on the show due to the sensitivity of the target audience, and even in the TTG comics they could only briefly skim over some of it (while at the same time confirming that Beast Boy's back story from the original comics is still his back story in the cartoon's universe). Lack of Creativity: For example, I don't even read fics where Slade is the primary villain anymore unless there's some sort of clear variance. It's been done to death. It's not interesting anymore. There's already thousands of fics on this site with a bloodthirsty irrationally evil Slade as the main villain, why don't you find another villain? Shake things up a bit? I don't like reading the same story over and over again. Villainous Ravager: Nine times out of ten, when Rose Wilson appears in fics on this site, she's a villain. This is something that has begun to annoy me, because she's not normally a villain. In the original comics, she was only ever a villainous figure for a short time when her dad had her drugged, and she was otherwise a hardworking hero who was trying desperately to divorce herself from her father's legacy. Within the canon of the cartoon's universe, we only see Ravager once, in Teen Titans Go! #49, where, yes, she begins by trying to take over Slade's operation, but in the end Raven, Jinx, Robin and Starfire talked her into becoming a hero instead. Just because Ravager is Slade's daughter doesn't mean she has to be a villain. Raven is Trigon's daughter, is she a villain? Heck, Jericho is Slade's son, is he a villain? |

Ask a Lawyer and Get Answers to Your Legal Questions
Welcome and thank you for your question. Is this a homework question?
I was told that this should stay in legal. However, the time and research would be beyond the general services that I provide. Your question is open to all attorneys. I trust one of our constitutional law experts will be able to assist you.
Please do not post a response as that will delay your answer. Thank you for your patience.
New Expert here.
Did you mean the Fourth Amendment?
I don't see any obvious First Amendment issue other than the argument that the government is trying to make the company speak in a certain way. The encryption features on the phone are intended to protect the privacy of the user, and that can be seen as a first amendment issue.
But this seems like more of a Fourth Amendment and Thirteenth Amendment issue, and an issue as to the meaning to the All Writs Act. The government has no right to impose involuntary servitude on the company, as prohibited by the Thirteenth Amendment. The Fourth Amendment allows searches only by government officials. The All Writs Act can only refer to writs that were part of the common law at the time the Constitution was ratified.

Cell culture. Panc-1 and HEK293 Z-VDVAD-FMK were grown in Minimal Essential Medium (Invitrogen, Carlsbad, CA), whereas MCF-7 and A549 cells were grown in Dulbecco's Modified Eagle's Medium (DMEM; Nisssui, Tokyo). Both media were supplemented with 5% FBS and 100 U/ml penicillin and 100 μg/ml streptomycin (Invitrogen, Carlsbad, CA). Cell culture was carried out at 37 °C and 5% CO2.
Treatment with antibodies. To determine the internalization of MUC1, the cells were treated for 1 h on ice with 4 μg/ml of anti-MUC1 antibody in the culture medium containing 5% FBS, washed twice with ice-cold PBS, and incubated at 37 °C for 1 h in fresh culture medium. In the experiments dealing with signaling, the cells were treated with 4 μg/ml of antibodies at 37 °C for various time periods in the culture medium containing 5% FBS. At the end of the treatment, the cells were washed twice with ice-cold PBS and treated with methanol at ?20 °C for 20 min for fixation and permeabilization followed by blocking with 1% BSA in PBS for 20 min at room temperature and staining with TRITC-conjugated goat secondary antibody against mouse IgG. Fluorescent signals were visualized by confocal laser microscopy (FLUOVIEW FV300, Olympus, Japan).

They are afraid it would worsen the liver sclerosis.
They are already giving the antiviral drugs. However they are concerned about the liver sclerosis.
Therefore, they had advised that we use traditional medicines or even prayers simultaneously.
Today Maharaja went to Mahkota Hospital in Malacca for liver check up and met
a liver specialist. According to the liver specialist, Maharaja's liver is 10% damaged due to auto immune hepatitis. Auto immune hepatitis is a form of immune disorder whereby the body's own immune cells attacks the liver cells. This progressively damages the liver daily and the doctors have to prescribe immuno-suppressant drugs in order to suppress the immune cells from attacking the liver cells.
Unfortunately, by doing so, it would lower the immune system of Maharaja's body. Any form of sickness could create damage to Maharaja's health. The liver specialist has confirmed that without administering this drug the liver would be completely damaged within a year.
Therefore, the Doctors are looking from all angles to see what is best for Maharaja to recover from all these complications.
We humbly request all devotee to please increase your prayers and hold kirtans in your respective temple for Maharaja's health.

HH Bhakti Vrajendranandana Swami Maharaja had a massive heart attack at 4 PM. His condition is critical now. Simheswara Prabhu has to decide whether to bring Maharaja to the Temple or send Maharaja for the Angioplasty operation.
